MAN: Previously on "T@gged"...

‐ No, this is about us. ‐ You lied to me!

‐ Zoe found my little sister. ‐ Zoe's dead.

Murdered a couple nights ago.

‐ Are you and Ash together?

ELISIA: I think he's in love with someone else.

And what about you? ‐ No girlfriend here.

ELISIA: Jai had a photo of me at the grotto

the night Ash got shot.

Maybe she shot Ash.

‐ We have to go back to Jai's house.

We need to search it and find out what she's hiding.

‐ Hey! Why are you here? ‐ Help!

‐ Brandon knows how to find KingCobra.

‐ While you fraternal twins scour the Internet

for Mr. Empty, Sean and I are gonna find Lance Broadly.

‐ We are? ‐ Mr. Empty sent a time

and a place, and he doesn't know that Zoe's dead.

[tense music]

He wants to meet.

WOMAN: I tagged you guys.

♪♪ ♪♪

ROWAN: What are you doing here?

‐ Some skate bitches told us that Lance Broadly works here.

‐ What, stuffing dead animals?

Ah, shit just keeps getting weirder.

‐ Okay, well, Trevor decoded a message from Mr. Empty

on the missed connections site asking Zoe to meet him here.

So obviously Mr. Empty doesn't know that Zoe's dead.

‐ So both of our searches led us here.

‐ Which means Mr. Empty and Lance Broadly

are the same person.

‐ So Mr. Empty, AKA Lance Broadly, was Zoe's boyfriend?

‐ Maybe he was Dunbar's friend, too.

Maybe that's why he's doing this.

‐ Okay, um, when was the last time

any of you guys went to camp?

‐ Two summers ago. I didn't go this past summer.

‐ Yeah, me either. ‐ I did.

‐ Was Dunbar there? Who was he hanging out with?

‐ Mostly just by himself.

Or with Hawk a little bit. ‐ Hawk?

‐ Yeah, Hawk hung out with Alison,

and Alison was at the bonfire.

‐ Ali was at camp this summer.

I mean, she's friends with Zoe. They went to school together.

‐ Okay, well, this all keeps coming back to camp somehow,

so did something happen at camp?

‐ There was some drama with Zoe and some of the older guys.

The counselors.

I think she was mad that this guy David didn't like her,

so she started a rumor that he did something to her.

I don't know.

[phone chimes]

It's Elisia. I‐‐I gotta go.

[doorbell chimes]

‐ Hey.

[thunder rumbles]

ROWAN: What did you two do? ELISIA: She has the masks.

TESSA: She knows something about Nicki.

JAI: Untie me, please.

‐ Are you a part of the Zoo?

‐ No.

Fine, I was.

It all started with a video.

KingCobra used it to blackmail me.

‐ What is it?

‐ Nicki recorded it without me knowing.

It happened in the bathroom after cheer.

She was the only one there.

It was sent to me from an unknown number,

so I confronted her about it.

We fought about it, and she denied it.

So I went on the Zoo website to vent.

And that's when I started chatting with KingCobra,

who said I can get even with Nicki,

and that's where I got the masks.

[thunder crashes]

‐ I have a lighter. ‐ Untie me, please.

‐ What did you do for KingCobra?

‐ Stupid shit.

I lit a mannequin in fire in Nicki's backyard

just to scare her.

‐ What else?

‐ I followed you

the night Ash was shot.

I mean, KingCobra knew you were faking your death,

but I had nothing to do with what happened to Ash.

The idea behind Mr. Empty is he drives you crazy.

He doesn't have to hurt you because you'll hurt yourselves

when he's done with you.

He'll scare you through your phone,

your computer,

to the point where you'll give up everything

just to get away.

‐ Just like Hailey.

That's why she had a red X over her picture at Zoe's.

‐ He scared her away.

‐ You pushed me in the pool.

‐ No, I didn't. I saved you.

‐ You texted me saying to meet you in your backyard.

‐ No, I didn't. I don't even have your number.

I didn't want to be there when you woke up

because I didn't know how to convince you

it wasn't me who pushed you in.

That night KingCobra sent me my video

and said if I didn't keep my mouth shut,

then everyone would know my secret.

If that video gets out,

my life...

it'll be over.

‐ We all have secrets.

‐ Why did you have that video of Nicki burning down my house?

‐ I don't know.

It was sent to me, but I don't know why.

For lighting that match.

[thunder rumbles]

We're all their puppets.

‐ Hey, what's the name of that school down the street?

‐ Montgomery?

Prep school brats.

‐ My sister's a freshman there.

‐ Since when do you have a sister?

‐ Well, the state took her away from my mom,

and I lost track of her when I ran away.

Last time I saw her, she was eight.

‐ Well, you should go say hi.

‐ Ah, I don't know, man.

‐ It's just down the street, right?

Go.

BRANDON: Dude, you gonna finish that?

TREVOR: Go for it.

Hey, you know it's Monday, right?

[phone chimes]

‐ Another missed connections post from Mr. Empty.

You ready to crack another code?

‐ Okay, so what should I do to help?

‐ Can you send a message to KingCobra?

‐ That's not really how it works.

I don't give messages, I get them.

[phone chimes]

‐ Who is it?

‐ It's that chick Alison.

She will not stop texting me.

[phone chimes]

She says that Mr. Empty knows that she talked to me.

‐ If it's not Jai and it's not Sean,

then I think it's Hawk.

Okay, he was at camp with Zoe and Alison,

Are you a part of the Zoo?

‐ You hang out with Alison, and she's a part of it.

You graded this test, and you used a red pen.

Why would you write the Zoo all over it?

‐ Okay, what is this, a joke?

‐ You know, I thought if Hailey saw something in you,

then maybe you'd be honest with me.

‐ I didn't grade this.

It's just not my handwriting.

Look, Ali and I are friend,

but I have no idea what you're talking about.

What's going on? What is the zoo?

‐ Never mind.

‐ Elisia, is this about Hailey?

TREVOR: So the Mr. Empty post said,

"Train station locker, number 640."

What do you think we're gonna find?

Another library book and more taxidermy?

‐ How the hell did you even crack

a World War Dos poetry code?

‐ My dad taught me when I was younger.

We used to write messages to each other.

‐ That's actually really cool, Trev.

‐ Hey, don't get too excited.

He gave us a locker number but not a locker combination.

If she was the one texting me, threatening you,

if I'd known, I would have buried her myself.

If she was hurting you guys,

then I'm glad she's dead.

‐ If she was hurting us?

You still don't believe me?

‐ I didn't‐‐I didn't mean it like that.

I didn't know.

I mean, to me she was this lonely girl

who was reaching out because her dad was dying.

All right, she understood about not having a family,

and I‐‐ ‐ What, and I don't?

‐ Are you serious?

‐ I'm trying to say I'm sorry.

I mean, how long is it gonna take you to realize

They don't get back in town for a few more days,

but I thought it would be better

to tell them over the phone and let them process.

‐ She never would have seen the video.

‐ I'm scared, but I'm not ashamed.

I didn't realize there was a difference until now.

I can't help you guys though.

KingCobra knows I'm a rat.

that I know you weren't supposed to.

I'm really worried about you.

Can you track him with his phone?

Scanning the metadata on the video right now.

They didn't strip the geotag,

Almost too easy.

They're at a taxidermy warehouse?

‐ Gotta let me explain, okay?

Um...

KingCobra told me to send Nicki that video

of her burning the house down and to tell her that

we were gonna release it to the whole school

and her family and the cops, and so I did.

I ruined her life by hitting send.

The next day, KingCobra told me

that Nicki killed two people in that fire,

but I didn't know that.

I didn't know what I was basically sending Nicki

was a death sentence.

‐ So you didn't kill her.

Right? 'Cause you didn't know about it, right?

‐ Yeah, right, right.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Okay, sit down.

It's okay, breathe.

Okay.

There's something else I need to tell you.

That night I went to Nicki's house
