Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug,

chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug,

chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!

- Just a minute.

She jumped!

Oh my god, she jumped!

- I rushed out the bathroom.

Everybody was freaking out.

So I just...

I followed the screaming.

And then I saw her.

Thank you.

- Tell us about what happened on the roof, Lacey.

- I just did.

- We'd like to hear it again.

- We'll get back to the roof, but,

why don't we go a little further back?

I wanna hear your story, in your own words

from the beginning of this whole thing.

Okay, I'll tell you everything.

Tara's parents were overseas for the summer

so it was just my mom

who was moving us into our dorm.

We both made it into the engineering program,

it's just kind of,

it just seemed like fate.

We were so excited.

- Oh, this is so exciting, girls!

Yup, sure is!

- Oh, I love this place.

You know, I did dorms my first year too.

Well, first semester anyway.

Second semester-

- kappa tau pi house, yeah mom, we know.

- Did I mention that already?

Once or twice, Ms. W.

- Hey, what did I say about that?

- Sorry.

Britney.

It's gonna take some getting used to.

- Good, 'cause you're 18 now.

And do you see a ring on this hand?

No, and the only Mrs. W I know

is my former mother-in-law.

And the least we say about here, the better, right?

- Yeah, you're right,

you're right. - Yeah, right, right.

- She's right, yeah. - Yes, good answer.

Get your stuff.

- Noted.

- Okay.

Let's go

Okay.

- So over here to your left is the common area.

There's a pool table and ping pong,

and all these cute fellows.

Oh, you!

You are gonna love your new room.

Here we are.

- Wait, this is huge.

- This is very large.

Yes?

- I wanna see the rooms!

Do you like it?

- What a view, right? - Mhmm.

Good?

- Okay.

- Okay girls, who gets which room?

- Let's just say which one we both want

at the count of three.

- Okay.

- Good, one, two, three.

- This one. - That one.

Ah! - Ugh!

- I knew.

- Roshambo.

Let's go, let's do this. - No.

You take it, you take it.

- That's not fair.

- Yes, I changed my mind.

I love this side.

It's very me.

Are you sure?

- Yes.

- That is so sweet of you, Tara.

It's the small kindnesses that matter most.

- That's very sweet of you, mom.

Oh, speaking of small kindnesses, what is this?

- What is that?

What are those flowers?

- I don't know!

- Mom, did you? - They're so pretty.

- I don't know. - What?

Oh, so nice.

- Ah!

What's this?

- Who is the fairest of them all,

the answer lies on yonder wall.

- Is this a riddle?

You know anything about this?

- No, gosh, don't look at me.

- Hmm.

Yeah, it's definitely a riddle.

- Fairest of them all, snow white?

Snow white, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who is the fairest, oh!

The wicked queen asks the questions to the

Mirror!

- The mirror, okay. - Mirror.

- Where's the mirror?

Look on the walls.

- Oh! - Oh, okay!

- You do it.

- Should I?

- Okay, maybe take it off the wall?

- Okay.

- Oh, turn it around, turn it around.

Okay?

- It's so fun.

- The both of you are fair as can be,

that much is perfectly clear.

Oh!

Now seek the place you'll share with other maidens

not far, it's near.

Where is that?

- Bathroom, the bathroom?

- The bathroom! - The bathroom?

- Maybe, I don't know.

Where's the bathroom?

- Okay! - I don't know

where the bathroom is.

- You gotta find it. - Ooh, this is nice.

What?

- We're getting warmer. - You're getting warmer.

- Yes!

- Maybe warmer like hotter?

Hot water?

- Very clever.

Hey, oh, yes!

- That's the spirit, you're almost there.

Now venture further out to the parlor if you dare.

- Mmm, I don't remember anything as fancy as a parlor.

It's gotta be in the common room.

Common room!

Yes, okay! - Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yes, okay! - I don't know, I don't know,

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

- You are about the type.

- I know, I can't, I need like help.

Oh!

Surprise!

- Let's go!

- Hey! - Hi!

- Hi. - Hi, I'm Katy.

Nice to meet you.

- Lacey, look at you.

You're all grown up and absolutely stunning.

Your hair is to die for.

- Thanks, this is my best friend.

- Oh, Tara.

What?

- I've done my research.

I am kappa president after all.

Oh, you guys should know my little sis Ella

from Harrison high, right?

She is all grown up too

and a cute little freshman now just like you two.

- Of course.

What's up, Ella?

- So are you guys totally surprised?

- Well, yeah!

- Honey, you had no idea how hard it was for me

to keep my mouth shut.

- Well, I actually know exactly how hard it is

to get you to shut up.

I'm just kidding.

Lana, hi!

- Lacey, welcome to college.

Hell, welcome to womanhood.

Oh, and you too, Tara.

- Thank you.

- Dramatic much, mother?

I'm sorry. - I'm Lana.

And I'm mother to these two right here.

And I'm mother hen to the rest of these beauties

all right here.

- She means she's the house mother.

Mother hen is her being cute.

- That's my Ella.

She's too cool for school.

- Mom.

- Oh, Britney is on the alumni board with me.

We oversee the girls

and make sure they're living up to the high kappa standards.

- Speaking of high standards.

Help yourselves.

Help yourselves.

- Ooh, I don't mind if I do!

- Alcohol?

- Just sparkling cider, Brit, no worries.

- Well, that's good.

'Cause give Lacey anything with alcohol and bubbles

and she gets crazy.

Ooh!

- Wait, what?

That was one time,

that was one time. - Sorry.

What are you girls talking bad about?

- Lacey is a legacy, just like Ella and I

and we kappas take that very seriously.

Oh, and you, Tara, are the bestie of a legacy,

something we also take very seriously.

And this welcome is for you too.

- That's really sweet, thank you, Courtney.

- But girls, there is no pressure to pledge kappa, okay?

The decision is yours and yours alone.

- Oh yes, yeah of course.

I mean you don't have to pledge kappa.

You can just break our hearts, crush our dreams,

and I mean, ruin the rest of the year, but,

No pressure at all.

- Yeah.

You can always pledge delta.

- What's wrong with delta?

- Oh, nothing.

Katy was just making a little joke.

To Lacey and Tara!

- Cheers! - Yeah!

- Hey!

Cheers, cheers!

Cheers!

- This is not cider.

- It's delicious, it's great.

- Shh.

- Hi!

- Hi! - Nice to meet you!

Hi! - Hey!

- This is great, it's great.

Hi, it's so nice to meet you!

Bye!

- Oh, there she goes! - No!

Oh no.

See ya! - Bye, guys.

Bye.

- Oh, Tara, it's me, why don't you love me?

- Oh, no, what did I say?

One glass of champagne and you totally lose it.

- Ella, did you hear the story of when Tara got catfished?

Oh!

- Less of a catfish, more like a stalker!

- Yeah. - But shut your mouth,

I'm over it.

- Fine!

You're no fun.

- So I take it you guys like the big welcome?

- Yeah, it was really cool.

- Yeah, why, they did the same for you?

- No.

My mom knows I'm not into that kind of thing.

I don't even know if I'm gonna pledge.

- Really, how come?

- I'm not sure the whole Greek thing's for me.

- Well, I wasn't sure either,

but I mean, seems fun,

and everybody was so nice to me

and they don't even know me.

- Well, I'm right above you.

- Oh, we're neighbors! - Yeah!

- Later. - Hey.

- Bye.

- Later.

- Do you wanna unpack?

- That sounds really boring.

- Yeah it really really does.

You hungry?

- When am I not?

- Pizza.

Pizza, yes.

And you're paying for it for bringing up you know whom.

Yes.

- I thought you guys were good together.

- Oh stop.

Yeah, what's your location

so we can always find each other on campus.

- Ooh, that's a good idea.

That way I can just stalk you like-

- oh my god. - Yeah, I'll see you around.

- It's funny for you. - Lacey?

- Hey, Lex.

- Hi.

- What's up, Tara?

I knew we'd see each other.

I just didn't think it would be so soon.

- Yeah, it's not that big of a school.

- It's bigger than Harrison high.

- Yeah, thank god for that.

- How's your dorm?

- It's- - a dorm.

Four walls, kind of musty.

- Yeah, me too.

It's cool you guys have each other.

- Easy for you to say.

I haven't really met anyone yet.

- You will.

- Well, good talk, Lex, hang in there

and all that,

but we're kind of on a serious mission here so

- Okay, cool.

See you guys around?

- Come on.

- Mmm.

- Oh, my god, that was painful.

- Dude, I've never seen him like that before.

He looked like a lost puppy.

- Lex is no puppy, he's a pit bull.

- Yeah, only when he drinks.

- Lacey!

Listen to yourself!

- What?

- You're justifying his behavior.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes you are.

Look, there is a reason you dumped his creepy ass.

What?

- Yeah, don't forget it.

- You're right.

- No more angry drunks, okay?

From now on we only associate

with upstanding young gentlemen.

Kappa girls do have high standards after all.

- Oh my god, you are so rushing kappa!

- Yeah, of course, and you will too!

Won't you?

You have to!

- We'll see.

That means yes.

- So that's what happened?

You and Tara decided to pledge kappa tau pi?

- Yes.

Did you consider any other sororities?

- We actually, we liked delta psi beta a lot.

- Right.

Their president's Rachel Zampra.

We spoke to her.

- You did, why?

- Just routine.

So you went with kappa?

- Yeah.

Yeah, that welcome kind of sealed the deal,

and we just thought it was the perfect place for us.

- Let' skip ahead to the afternoon of the sixth.

You attended an event at the kappa house, correct?

- That's when everything changed.

All the pledges were there.

- Mmm, this is so delicious.

What did you call this again?

- A mocktail.

No alcohol, just fruity goodness.

- Not like your cider the other day.

- Oh, come on Brit,

we can be a little naughty every once in a while, can't we?

- Just a little.

Just a little.

- Well, I guess we were a little naughty

back in our day.

- Britney, do tell.

- Yeah, mom.

Tell us everything, please!

- Come on, Brit, I'm dying to know

where Lacey gets her freakiness from.

- Ah, I'm sorry.

Freakiness?

Okay, Tara.

Tara, you know we're gonna have a little talk one day.

- Yeah mom, that's never gonna happen.

- Look at you two looking out for each other.

Just like we used to do, remember?

- Oh yeah, but sisters,

sisters never reveal their secrets.

- Ah, well, we're all sisters here, aren't we?

- No, no, no, not quite yet.

The pledges here are still,

the young ones are still pledges.

Ella, honey.

Have I told you how proud I am of you

for deciding to pledge?

- Yeah.

Over and over and over again.

- Listen, girls, I know we might seem sappy but

this is a really special time for you all.

Soak it in.

- Relish it.

And relish one another.

You guys are about to be family.

- I just love how supportive they are of each other.

- Oh yeah.

- Wasn't always like that in our days.

- Really?

What do you mean?

- Let's just say that hazing was still a thing

back in our day.

I mean there were a lot of really sweet girls

but there were a few who took things

a little too far.

- But not these angels.

Right, Courtney?

- Of course, mother.

Hazing has no place at kappa tau pi.

- That's correct, cheers to that.

Cheers.

- Another mocktail.

- Love you.

- Love you too.

- It was such a lovely party, Courtney.

You girls have fun.

- Thank you, we will.

- Oh, but not too much fun.

- Oh, you know me, mother.

- Bye, honey.

Goodbye.

- Bye, mom.

- Bye, Brit.

- Can you believe that?

Jeez, our little girls. - I know!

- Lacey, that dress looks so pretty on you.

- Oh, thanks, Tiffany.

Yours is beautiful.

I love it.

It fits you so well.

It does.

And I love the hairpiece.

What, what happened?

- Hazing had no place at kappa tau pi, mommy.

Please don't tell me any of you dumbasses

actually believe that.

I think they did.

Didn't you?

- Aw, Lacey.

Our perfect little legacy Princess.

- [Katyj yeah, why do you think you're so perfect?

- I don't.

- You don't what?

- I don't think I'm perfect.

- Good, you're not.

None of you are.

I have never seen a crop of pledges this pathetic.

- Excuse me?

- Now, tilt your head back and open wide.

It's drinky time!

- Are you serious?

- I said head back!

- Oh my god!

- Open wide.

Now drink!

Swallow!

You know how to do that, don't you?

Oh come on, give her another.

Ow, hey!

- Shut up.

Please stop.

- Such a little lush!

Okay, you're up.

Come on, Tara.

- I don't wanna do this.

Too bad, head back.

- Ow!

- Drink.

Attagirl. - Okay!

- This one next.

Open up, head back.

- Get back. - Tiffany.

- Oh my god!

Come on!

Kappa girls can go toe to toe

with any frat on campus!

And I thought you were some big, strong,

softball star, huh?

Drink!

Hey, stop!

- Shut up.

Ew, you sound like a pig.

So gross, you nasty piggy.

- Blindfolds!

- Hey, are you okay?

Are you okay?

- Ella, what is this? - I don't know.

Courtney, no. - Did you know about this?

Faster!

Blindfolds on. - Oh my god.

Shut up.

Now move, follow Katy.

- How?

- What's going on? - One foot in front

of the other, Tara.

Move, this way!

Someone's gonna get hurt.

- Shut up!

Come on!

- Is this stairs?

Yes, just walk.

Walk.

Oh, my gosh, one foot in front of the other, ladies.

Move!

- Oh my god, get up against the wall.

Where's the wall?

- Take those blindfolds off.

Take 'em off.

Eh, eh, eh, not you piggy.

Yours stays on.

- Get up here.

Where'd you get that dress, piggy?

It's hideous.

- Seriously, it makes me wanna puke.

Take it off.

- What?

- Take it off!

- Courtney!

- Shut up!

Don't make us tell you again, piggy.

- Good, now look at us.

Tell me, Tiffany.

Are you proud of that body?

- Yeah.

I thought softball chicks were supposed to be toned.

Ever heard of a gym?

Ever heard of a salad?

- Why would you think

we would ever let a basic bitch like you

be a kappa?

- Have you ever considered delta?

- I can't think of a single frat on the row

that would let you into a party,

let alone sleep with you.

- Not even the zetas.

- And the zetas are desperate.

I mean they'll get down with anything.

Anything but you.

- All right.

Lose the bra and granny panties.

- What?

- Don't make your president repeat herself.

Strip!

Strip, strip, strip, strip,

strip, strip, strip, strip, strip,

strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip!

- You don't have to do this. - Lacey!

Get your ass back in line!

- No, this is insane, Courtney!

It's the 20s, not the 90s,

you can't get away with stuff like this anymore.

And you can't treat people like this.

- She said get your ass

back! - Ow, no!

Guys, we're supposed to be sisters,

not mean girls on crack!

Okay, this is all so wrong!

Are you done?

- What?

- Are you done with your little speech?

- Here.

- Don't take it, Tiffany.

- Just come on, let's just get out of here.

Okay?

- Well.

It looks like Tiffany is tougher

than you give her credit for, Lacey.

Certainly tougher than you, that's for sure.

- Fine, I'm leaving.

No one's stopping you.

- Tara, come with me.

Tara.

Bye, Lacey.

- Hey.

Remember me?

- Yeah, you're Rachel,

president of delta psi beta.

- Yeah.

You know, I thought we had a shot at you, but,

I heard you're pledging kappa.

It's no hard feelings.

You are legacy after all.

Hey, are you okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

- What are you doing right now?

Do you wanna come hang out with us?

- Sure.

Thanks.

- We're not exactly raging tonight.

Deltas are a pretty low key bunch.

- It's perfect.

- How about a cup of tea?

- Yeah, cup of tea sounds great.

- Awesome.

Follow me.

Our tea selection is next level.

Oh gosh.

Why didn't you come with me?!

- I'm not your little pet, Lacey,

I can make my own decisions!

- Oh, so you're just cool

with what they did to Tiffany?

- It wasn't that bad, okay?

It's tradition!

- It's tradition, yeah, sure.

- They were testing us, okay?

They were seeing how tough we were.

- There's nothing tough about that.

It was just cruel!

- Tiffany can stand up for herself, okay?

I didn't see her asking for anyone's help.

- Do you hear yourself?

Tara, this is not like you.

You don't just follow other people.

- Yeah, I'm sick of following you around

like we're still 10, okay?

You always make all the decisions

and expect me to do whatever you want.

- That's not true!

- Yes, it is.

It's been that way so long, in fact,

you don't even realize it.

Why do you think you got that room?

- Are you serious, really?

That is so stupid, Tara!

- It's not stupid, it's how I feel!

- Well you know what, I didn't know,

I've been such a horrible friend to you all these years.

I'm really sorry, Tara.

- Shut up, Lacey!

- Where are you going?

- Courtney said I could crash at kappa!

- Oh, you've gotta be kidding me, Tara!

Tara?

Tara!

Okay fine, you know what,

just go be with your new friends,

you guys deserve each other.

- Lacey, I just got off the phone with Lana.

What is going on?

Please call me as soon as you get this.

- Yeah.

Yeah, see ya. - Okay.

- Lacey, wait.

So obviously things got a little bit intense

the other night.

- Look, if you're worried I'm gonna report you,

you can relax, I've got better things to do.

- Okay, that's good to know.

Look, I get how you probably think

that what I did the other night was pretty nasty.

But you don't get to be a soldier

unless you make it through boot camp.

- We're not soldiers, Courtney.

- Well obviously you don't understand

what it takes to be a leader.

Look, since you're a legacy

and since our moms are so tight and all,

I might be willing to give you another chance.

- Actually, I’m pledging delta psi beta.

- The deltas?

You're kidding!

- No, I think they're awesome.

- It's social suicide.

- You're so adorable.

Gotta go.

- I gave you a chance.

You won't get another one.

Legacy or not.

Yeah I didn't say anything.

- You don't think you should have reported the hazing

to the school administration?

- I don't know.

I guess I was worried it was gonna become

some huge drama.

- Maybe it simply wasn't as serious

as you're saying it was.

- It was serious.

- Did you tell your mom?

- No.

She didn't.

- I sort of downplayed it.

- Why'd you do that?

- Because I knew how important kappa psi beta was

to you and I just,

I didn't want to disappoint you

by not fitting in.

- Honey, you never disappoint me.

I wish you would have told me everything

but you did the right thing when you left.

- Okay Lacey, I know this very difficult for you

but we need to go back to what happened two nights ago

at the sigma chi party.

- Take your time, honey.

- It had been a week since the hazing at kappa.

Tara and I hadn't talked.

It was the longest we had gone without talking ever.

I went ahead and pledged delta

so I was spending a lot of time with Rachel and those girls.

- Wow! - I know.

Does this tiki thing feel like, I don't know,

cultural appropriation?

- Maybe.

Let's not forget that our whole system

is appropriated from Greek culture.

Well.

At least we look hot.

What is it?

- " Hey Lacey, please tell me you and those delta skanks

aren't coming to the party tonight.

No one wants you there."

Wait, is this Tara?

As in your best friend Tara?

- As in my former best friend Tara.

- I'm sorry, Lacey, that really sucks.

- I don't even know how to respond to this.

It's like she's a totally different person

all of a sudden.

- Just ignore it.

Come on.

Screw her.

Oh, oh, hello, Lacey.

- Hi, Lana.

- I'm so sorry that you and Courtney

had a misunderstanding last week.

- No, there was no misunderstanding.

She just started to haze us and I left.

- There's no hazing at kappa.

- You weren't there.

- Oh, I talked to the girls

and they say there's no hazing and I believe them.

- Okay then.

- You know, I hope you can keep

these assumptions to yourself.

Rumors like these, they're not good for any of us.

- Hmm, that kind of sounds like a threat.

- What is with you deltas?

Always so sensitive all the time!

- Yeah, why are you at a student party?

Isn't that sort of weird?

- I'm keeping an eye out on my girls.

That's what a house mother does.

- Well, good for you mama.

Peace.

- Not bad, not bad.

- Oh my god.

- Classy, I like it.

- Let's get drinks.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

What?

What is in these?

- Better not to ask.

Just drink up.

- Rachel.

Hey, I've been looking for you.

Well, you found me.

- Listen, I got something to show you.

Okay.

- Let's go.

How many drinks did you have

before the party?

What?

- How many drinks did you have at the party?

- I don't know.

A few?

- What's a few?

Three, four?

Five, six?

- I think, four?

- Hey, Lacey.

- Whoah. - Oh, man.

Sorry.

So clumsy.

- And so drunk.

- Don't be like that.

This is a party, we're in college.

This is what college kids do, right?

- Yeah, I guess so.

- You look really pretty.

Not like these other girls that try so hard.

You just look good.

- Thanks.

- I miss you, Lacey.

- Lex, just don't.

Don't, okay?

- Okay.

And you're right.

So what's up with you and Tara?

- What do you mean?

- Just heard you guys like all of a sudden hate each other.

Is that true?

- Is she here?

- Yeah, she's upstairs, I think.

- Tara?

Tara?

Tara?

Not Tara.

Tara?

Tara?

Oh, there you are.

Why are you hiding from me?

- What?

- Look, you can lie to Lana all you want

about the hazing, I really don't care.

But don't you dare try to intimidate me

from going to a party or doing anything

with my new friends.

Okay, they're not skanks, Tara,

how could you say that about anybody?

I mean look at what you're wearing.

I mean let me guess,

did Courtney pick that outfit out for you?

Look, I'm not letting you ruin my time here, okay?

So just leave me alone.

Just a minute.

She jumped!

Oh my god, she jumped!

What happened?

Somebody call 911.

Lacey!

Come on, come on.

Let's get you home.

- I just can't believe some of the things

I said to here before she-

- honey.

It was just a stupid fight.

All best friends have them.

You should have seen some of the ridiculous fights

that Lana and I had.

They don't mean anything.

And Tara knew how much you loved her.

Come here.

Are you Lacey Montgomery's mother?

- I'm Britney Wyles.

- Hi there.

Is your daughter here, ma'am?

There's nothing else

you wanna tell us, Lacey?

- What do you mean?

- I think you know what I mean.

- Detective Fuller, I have had enough

of the way you've been talking to my daughter.

She is exhausted.

Her best friend just died in a terrible accident yesterday

and you're making it seem like she's trying

to hide something from you.

- A terrible accident?

- Yes!

It was awful.

- Awful, yes.

An accident?

We don't think so.

- What are you saying?

Are you saying that you think that

Tara may have jumped?

- No.

We believe someone pushed her off that roof.

- Someone pushed Tara,

who would do something like that?

- We thought you might have the answer.

- Slow down here.

You're talking about murder?

- That's right.

How can you be so sure?

- Tara fell off the roof backwards.

The distance between the house

and where she landed in the driveway

indicates the cause was likely a strong push.

- And one of her shoes was found on the roof

as if she'd been pushed out of it.

- We also haven't been able

to locate Tara's cellphone.

Did she have it with her

when you saw her on the roof?

- I really don't care,

but don't you dare try to intimidate me

from going to a party or doing anything

with my new friends!

Yeah, she had it in her hand.

Then where is it?

- How is Lacey supposed to know that?

- My question was for your daughter.

- And my question is for you.

Isn't that possible that the phone was with her

when she fell off the roof?

We searched the area.

- Well maybe somebody found it.

- Who would do that?

- I don't know!

Who would push Tara off the roof?

- Good question.

Who do you think it was, Lacey?

- I don't know.

- You were the last one who saw her.

- Maybe, but that doesn't mean-

- you two were fighting.

You told us how angry you were

and it wasn't the only argument you had.

- Fine, you know what, just go be with your new friends,

you guys deserve each other!

- So what, it was just an argument,

it didn't mean anything.

- You lost your temper,

just like when you pushed Katy.

- No!

- Did that mean anything?

- Okay, enough.

I have let this go on way too long.

You are in my house accusing my daughter

of murdering her best friend.

And I will not tolerate it any longer.

- Looks like you have quite a temper yourself.

- You're damn right I do.

- Ladies, let's dial back the temperature.

I understand your anger, Britney,

but we're not accusing Lacey of anything.

We're simply just asking questions.

- That's not what she's doing.

And your whole good cop routine

doesn't fool anybody, detective.

So with all due respect,

get the hell out of here.

- Britney.

- It's miss Wyles.

Okay, miss Wyles.

- We'll show ourselves out.

- Great.

That was harassment.

I will have their badges for this.

- Mom.

- Oh, Karen Kittleson's husband is a criminal lawyer.

I'm gonna call him.

- Wait, mom, I’m gonna need a lawyer?

- It's just a precaution, honey.

Look, I don't want you to worry about anything, okay?

They're gonna realize that they had it all wrong

and everything is just gonna work itself out, okay?

Look at me.

I am not going to let anything happen to you, okay?

- Jennifer.

I didn't know you were in town.

I'm so sorry about Tara.

Do you wanna come in?

- Did you have something to do with Tara's death?

- No, of course not.

- Then why are the police asking me

so many questions about you?

- 'Cause she was my best friend.

- You were with her just before she died.

And what happened, what did you say to her?

- Jennifer, hi.

I am so sorry.

I can't even imagine what you're going through.

- That's right, you can't.

- But Lacey's hurting too.

Why don't you come inside

and we can talk about this?

Come in.

- Don't touch me!

- Jen, we're friends.

- It's easy for you to stay calm.

You still have Lacey.

But what about me?

I don't have a daughter anymore.

- That's the one.

Hey, Lacey.

- Hey.

- You okay?

- Not really.

- Yeah, me either.

- You know, you don't have to do this.

I'm sure you don't wanna be seen with me.

- For what it's worth, I don't think you did it.

- I didn't.

- Ella!

Come on, Ella, kappas don't associate with murder suspects.

- Tara was my best friend, Courtney.

- And she was our sister.

- I didn't do it.

- Yeah, then why do the cops keep asking about you?

- They talked to you?

- Well, yeah, they're talking to everyone.

Come on guys, let's go.

- Bye bye, killer.

- Hey, guys.

Okay, guess I'll study somewhere else.

- Lacey.

Hold on, hold on.

Come on, guys.

What is this?

We stand by each other.

That's why we're here.

Otherwise, what's the point of even having a sorority?

- Just forget it, Rachel.

- Lacey, wait.

- You know, I can't blame them.

God only knows what they've heard about me.

- You don't have to leave, though.

- You know, everywhere I go,

people are staring at me and whispering about me?

- People are scared.

But the deltas will stand by you,

I'll make sure of it.

- It's only a matter of time

before they turn on me too.

I should just be alone.

- No, we can get through this together.

- Yeah, you know what, I can't, sorry.

- No, Lacey.

- No, I can't.

Oh, ugh,

Lex! - What?

What?

- What are you doing here?

- I was just coming to see you.

- I think someone's in my room.

- Really?

No one's here, Lacey.

- Someone was here.

- Maybe you forgot to close the door.

- No, I didn't forget to close the door, Lex,

and this didn't just fall on itself.

Someone knocked it over.

- God, that's messed up.

- Yeah, it is.

Thanks.

Are you serious?

- Huh?

- You're really trying to come on to me right now?

- What, no, I was just trying to comfort you.

- Have you been day drinking?

- What the hell, why do you always say that?

Well, have you?!

- No, I haven't been day drinking!

I'm out of here!

- I come in peace.

- Thank you. - Mhmm.

- The detectives, they were

basically accusing Lacey of murder.

It was pretty horrible.

- Well, did they come back?

- Not yet, but,

I think it's just a matter of time until they do.

- Mhmm.

God.

- I got a lawyer.

I got a lawyer for my kid.

I can't believe this is happening.

- It's so crazy.

But I mean you can understand their suspicions, right?

- Are you serious, no!

Lacey would never do something like that.

- No, no, no, no,

I don't mean she meant to do it.

No.

I mean, Brit, she was with Tara

like right before it happened.

They were fighting.

- Lana.

- I wonder.

I mean maybe,

maybe it got physical.

- I need you to stop.

I need you to stop!

- Okay.

- But you should know.

Lacey did push Katy really hard.

I saw the bruise on her hip.

So did the police.

- So what?

She was just defending Tiffany.

- That's not what Tiffany said happened.

- Oh really, what did Tiffany say happened?

- That there was no hazing.

- Oh.

- That Lacey got into an argument with Katy.

And she just, she lost her temper.

Britney, like you know she does sometimes, Brit.

- I don't believe it.

I believe my daughter.

- Of course.

Of course.

- Of course.

- There she is.

Morning, Lacey.

How are you?

- I've been better. - I hear that.

- You know I've actually gotta go.

- We were just wondering if you happen to remember

anything new about the night Tara died.

- No.

- No recollection about what may have happened

to her cell phone?

- Can't you guys, I don't know,

track it or something?

- We can't.

The service provider can, of course,

but only when it's turned on, so.

- In fact, they did track it.

- They did, where is it?

- Your dorm building.

It was only turned on briefly, so.

- As if whoever turned it on

knew she shouldn't leave it on for long.

- She?

You know if you guys think that I did this,

just say so.

- We're just asking-

- you're just asking questions, yeah sure.

Look, all this time you're wasting on me

could be used to find the real killer.

- So you're saying what,

this whole phone thing is just a coincidence?

- If I had Tara's phone, why would I turn it on

in my own dorm?

Someone is clearly trying to incriminate me.

I mean, someone did break into my room.

- And you're just telling us this now?

- I shouldn't even be talking to you without a lawyer.

If my mom saw us talking right now,

she would freak out.

- Then why are you talking to us?

- Because I'm not afraid of you.

I didn't do anything.

- Wait, when did this happen?

This break in.

- Yesterday.

- Was it a forced entry?

- I don't know, the door was open when I got home, so.

- Then you probably just left it open.

- No , I didn't.

Was anything taken?

- I don't think so.

- You don't think so?

Sounds like we better go take a look.

- Hey, mom.

- Hey honey, how are you?

- I'm fine.

The detectives are searching my room right now.

- What?

Fuller and cross?

- Yeah.

- Put detective cross on the phone.

- Okay.

My mom wants to talk to you.

- What can I do for you, miss Wyles?

- How dare you go against my wishes.

You are not supposed to be there.

- Yes ma'am. I understand that

but she gave us permission to-

- do you have a search warrant?

Do you? - No ma'am.

- Then get the hell out of there right now.

- Yes, ma'am.

Now.

Thanks.

- We're done.

- Right.

Yeah, you know, I can't even pretend

to concentrate right now?

So I think I'm just gonna take off.

- Yeah.

Probably a good call.

- I'm so sleepy.

- You have had enough to worry about

and I thought about not telling you this.

Those detectives were here today.

Not surprised.

- Well they're asking everyone questions about you.

- Yeah.

Well I'm starting to think

the only way that they're gonna catch Tara's killer

is if I just do it myself.

- Well, let me know if you need backup.

Rach, thanks.

Seriously, for everything.

- Why don't you let me walk you home?

- What, no.

No!

Then you're gonna have to walk home alone!

- I don't think you should be alone.

- I'm gonna be fine, okay?

It's a short walk.

And I mean if the killer comes after me

I can just, I don't know,

catch him?

You hear that out there?

I'm not afraid of you!

- Oh my god.

Bad ass.

Text me as soon as you get home.

- I will.

I'm gonna be fine.

Okay, you know what, maybe I am a little scared

but I will call the cops right now if you don't,

okay.

Somebody please help me!

- Are you okay?

- Ella, yeah, no, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Did you see the person's face?

- No, are you sure you're okay?

- Yeah.

I'm fine, what about you?

Hey, what's wrong?

- It's nothing, just a headache.

Are you gonna call the police?

- No, no.

The police and I don't,

we're not on the best terms right now.

And I just, I don't want my mom

to find out about any of this.

- Why not?

She'd try to talk me out of it?

Talk you out of what?

- Finding out who killed Tara.

I've gotta be worrying somebody.

Why else would they try to get rid of me?

- Lacey?

Lacey?

Hi.

You look like you haven't slept.

- Yeah, I haven't.

What's up?

- You haven't answered my calls

so here I am with coffee and bagels.

Open, open.

I'm coming in.

Thanks, mom.

- Wakey, wakey.

So what did you do, stay up all night studying or?

- Yeah, something like that.

- What's all this?

- Everything I know about the night Tara died.

Everyone who was there, all of the suspects.

- I think this is what they refer to as a war room.

- Yeah, exactly.

If they won't do their job,

I'll just do it for them.

- What are you doing here?

- Can we talk?

- Just for a minute.

- Thank you, for last night.

If you weren't there, I don't-

- don't tell anyone.

I'm not supposed to be talking to you.

- Do you have any idea who it might have been?

- It was too dark.

- Do you know if Tara was fighting with anyone

before she died?

- You mean other than you?

Sorry, that was harsh.

But no.

Tara seemed to get along with all the kappas

if that's what you're asking.

- Then what else happened

at kappa the night of the hazing?

- Kappas don't haze.

- Come on, Ella, your sister's never gonna know

that you talked to me, okay?

- My sister knows everything that happens on this campus.

She'd kill me if she saw us right now.

- What, do you think she killed Tara?

- No, it's a figure of speech, Lacey!

Don't try to mess with my head.

That's what everyone does and I'm sick of it!

- Okay, I didn't mean to do that, okay?

- You should leave now.

- I have more questions, can you-

- go.

- Detective cross.

- Hey, detective, it's Lacey Montgomery.

Have you checked the dormitory camera footage

to see who broke into my room yet?

- We're still looking into that.

- I assume you knew

there's a camera on every floor, right?

- Of course.

- Well I've asked administration

but they won't let me see anything.

I'm sure you'll have better luck.

Hey!

- Oh my god.

Lacey?

What are you doing?

- We need to talk.

- I can't.

- Please?

- I'm sorry.

- Tiffany, I tried to help you.

- I know, but, the kappas are my friends.

- No, they're not.

Friends don't treat each other like that.

- That was just one night.

Plus they didn't mean it, they were testing me.

They're being super nice now.

- Okay, if you're happy then that's great.

Okay, but Tara's my best friend.

I just need some answers.

- Not here.

Come on.

Please make this quick.

- Can you tell me what happened

after I left the pledge party?

Look, I'm not interested

in getting the sorority in trouble, okay?

I just need to know what happened to Tara.

- Are you sure you want to know?

- I need to know.

Just come on, let's just get out of here.

Fine, I'm leaving.

- No one's stopping you.

- Come with me.

Tara.

Okay, okay.

Maybe Lacey's right.

I'll go talk to her.

Maybe I got a little carried away

but I promise you it stops right now.

Not!

- Get over there!

All right, you're all a little too pretty.

Let's fix that.

Oh my god!

- Okay, okay, enough fun and games.

Take your phones out.

Now!

- Get your damn cellphones out now!

- See?

Now was that so hard?

Now all of you, delete your passcodes.

- Trust me when I say that you little whores

will not like what happens

if she has to repeat herself.

- Ugh.

This is like, an invasion of privacy.

Shut it.

Hand them over.

- You're not taking my phone.

- Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Start with this one.

- As kappa pledges, you are no longer entitled to privacy.

Anytime we wanna see your phone,

you will hand it over.

Otherwise you're out.

Your secrets are now our property.

So, let's see what little miss Tara

has been gossiping about.

Boring, boring.

Boring.

Jeez, you really love your emojis, don't you?

Ooh!

Who's Lex?

She asked you a question!

- He's just a guy from high school.

- Just a guy from high school?

Oh, no he's not, he's Lacey's boyfriend!

- Ex-boyfriend.

- And you slept with him last summer?

You baller, does Lacey know?

Hmmm.

- That answers that.

- You nasty little slut.

Maybe you're kappa material after all.

- Tara and Lex?

- You could tell she felt really bad about it.

Courtney started reading off all these texts, and,

they'd only been together one time.

But after that, Lex's texts started to get kind of...

Aggressive.

- What do you mean?

- "Text me back, Tara.

Don't make me do something crazy, Tara."

This Lex guy needs to chill.

I mean just because you let him hit it

doesn't mean he owns it.

- There was other stuff like that too.

Not threats exactly, but,

it was pretty intense.

Was Lex ever like that with you?

- Sometimes when he was drinking.

- There's one other thing you should know.

But it's pretty bad.

- Who thinks we should give Lex a call?

- Courtney, please, do not do that.

Courtney.

See what he's up to.

What's up, Tara?

- Hey Lex, it's Courtney.

You know who I am, right?

- Yeah?

Kappa president, right?

- Good boy.

So I'm here with Tara.

And she wants you to come over and have sex with her.

Lex, you there?

Yeah.

Well, did you hear what I said?

- You're joking, right?

- Look, it's an initiation thing.

You come over here, Tara tags you

and then she's a kappa.

Right, Tara?

Right, Tara?

- Right.

So what'd you think?

- Yeah.

- Great.

Well, we'll all be waiting for you.

Hmm, what?

You said he's just a guy from high school, right?

- Did he come over?

- You two have fun now.

Hey.

- Lex, what are you doing here?

No, back off, Lex, back off, back off!

- What are you freaking out about now, Lacey?

What are you doing in my room?

- You're ignoring my texts.

- So you break in?

- What else am I supposed to do?

Plus your locks are a joke.

- Was it you?

- Hmm?

- Did you push Tara off the roof?

- What?

You're joking?

- I know that you slept with her.

And that you sent her threatening texts after.

No, no, don't touch me!

- Lacey, stop- - Lex, don't touch me!

- I would never hurt you.

- You're different when you drink.

You get mean, Lex.

Maybe it was an accident between you and Tara,

I don't know. - Stop saying that!

I can't believe you think I would do something like that.

Look, I slept with Tara.

And yeah, I'll admit, my texts too her afterwards

probably sounded way too aggressive.

But that's because I was scared to death

that she was gonna tell you.

'Cause I still wanna be with you, Lacey.

Look, I'm sorry.

Okay, I'll stop drinking.

Whatever you want, I'll do it.

What's wrong, who's that from?

- Tara.

- Sure.

You're getting texts from a ghost

and I'm the drunk one?

- We shared locations with each other.

Where are you going?

I wanna come with you!

- No, Lex, no, you're wasted.

- But I wanna help.

- Okay, then call my mom.

She's gonna freak out if I do,

tell her to meet me at the kappa house

and that I'm gonna call 911, not to worry, okay?

This is Lacey Montgomery.

Tara George's phone is at kappa tau pi's house right now.

- It's Lacey Montgomery's room.

A couple of hours of footage to scrub through

but surely we will find something.

- Stop, right there.

Zoom in.

That's Lana McCray.

- Still think the Montgomery girl was lying?

- Lana must have Tara's cell phone.

She went to Lacey's room to turn it on

so we'd think Lacey had the phone.

- Why not just leave it in Lacey's room

so we'd find it?

- What if there's stuff on that phone

she doesn't want us to see?

She's smart enough to know

that even if she deletes it,

we could still uncover the data.

Fuller.

Kappa house?

She called?

We're on our way.

Okay, you just need to relax

and let me handle this.

How am I supposed to relax?

You told me the police would have Lacey

arrested by now.

- And they will!

Unless you do something idiotic again.

Like push her in front of a car.

Oh my god, Courtney.

What were you even thinking?!

Okay, that could have ruined everything!

- I think Lacey already knows what's going on.

And now she's trying to find proof.

Look, Ella's been talking to her.

Don't you understand?

I was trying to protect all of us.

- So it was you who tried to kill me, Courtney?

So I guess the question now is

did you push Tara off the roof?

Or was it you, Lana?

- Oh I don't know what you're talking about.

We all know, and the police think

that you're the one who killed Tara.

- Well they're on their way right now.

So maybe we can finally get to the bottom of this.

- The police are on their way now?

- They sure are.

I tracked Tara's phone and it brought me here.

- Mom.

- Shut up.

I can handle this.

- Handle this?

How?

- Ella?

Ella, wait!

- Leave her alone!

- No, she has Tara's phone, let me go!

- You're not going anywhere, Lacey.

Kappas protect each other, no matter what.

- Let her go.

Lacey's my friend.

My real friend.

- Ella?

Ella!

Ella?

Ella, don't move!

Don't move, just stay there, okay?

Ella, what are you doing?

- I don't know, Lacey.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I don't know anything anymore.

- What do you mean?

- Ella!

Get down, Ella.

Stay back, I'll jump!

- No!

- I said stay back!

Babe, okay.

- I'm sorry, Lacey.

I'm so sorry.

- Ella, you have nothing to be sorry about, okay?

You tried to help me.

You saved my life.

- It was me.

- What?

- Ella, Ella be quiet,

honey. - No, mom,

I'm done being quiet.

It was me.

I pushed Tara off the roof.

- You, why?

Why would you do that?

- She felt so bad about not standing up to the hazing

the way you did.

She was gonna report the kappas to the administration.

- You know, the way they treated Tiffany

wasn't just some harmless initiation.

It was wrong.

I know you feel the same way.

Are you okay?

- Don't do it, Tara.

I'll make sure it never happens again

but don't go to the administration,

we could lose our charter.

- Ella, I thought you didn't even care

about the sorority,

I don't- - please.

- I have to.

Ella?

Tara?

Tara?

- What?

- Tara?

Oh, there you are.

Why are you hiding from me?

- What?

- Look, you can lie to Lana all you want about the hazing,

I really don't care.

But don't you dare try to intimidate me

from going to a party or doing anything

with my new friends.

- You didn't see me, but I was here.

When you left, something came over me.

- So just leave me alone.

Just a minute.

She jumped!

Oh my god, she jumped!

- I know I always said that I didn't care

about the sorority, but that's not true.

Kappa is so important to you guys

and I know I don't show it

but all that's ever mattered to me is you two.

My family.

So when I found an opportunity to protect the sorority,

to protect my family, I took it.

But I wasn't thinking right.

I'm still not thinking right.

There's something wrong with me.

- This is all my fault.

This is all my fault.

- No, it's not.

I did this.

I'm the murderer.

- No.

Ella, you don't understand.

I was awful.

I mean forcing Tiffany to strip like that.

And making Tara sleep with Lex?

- Oh my god.

- Those were horrible things, but,

those weren't the only hazings that I did.

- What do you even mean, Courtney,

what are you talking about?

- I switched your anti-anxiety meds out for Adderall.

- You did?

It's nothing, just a headache.

- Oh my god.

How could you do that?

I'm sorry!

- How could you do that?

- It was just supposed to be a stupid prank,

I didn't know that...

I'm so sorry, Ella.

You never would have done that to Tara

if it wasn't for what I did to you.

But this is not your fault.

Please come down.

- Come on, babe.

Oh, Ella I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry.

Come on, hurry, take point.

- Lemonade with mint, your favorite.

And I'm gonna make us lunch.

- What's all this?

- I just wanna take care of you for a bit.

Return the favor.

- That is very nice, but it's not necessary.

I have to be honest.

I kind of feel like this whole thing is my fault.

- Mom, don't say that.

- Are you sure?

Are you sure I didn't pressure you and Tara too much

to pledge kappa?

- Of course I'm sure.

Mom, none of this is your fault.

- Okay.

Maybe we should just take a vacation, just the two of us.

- I have school?

- Right.

Are you sure that you're ready

to go back to Rose state?

You could take some time off if you want.

- No, I wanna be busy.

I like my classes

and I really like my new friends at delta.

- They do seem very sweet.

- They are.

- Great.

Honey?

I'm very proud of you.

- Mom, no, don't, don't.

Mom, I've cried enough.

We both have, okay?

Stop!

- I am, I'm so proud of you.

- Thanks, mom. I love you.

Hope it's not another reporter.

- Well, if it is,

they are not gonna like what I have to say.

- Hi, come in.

- Thank you, miss Wyles.

Oh, don't worry, Lacey, it's just a quick visit.

- More questions?

- No, no.

We've asked you enough of those for now.

We found something you should see.

- Tara's phone?

- She recorded a video for you

but never got a chance to send it.

- We'll give you some privacy, honey, okay?

Come this way.

- Hey, lace.

So, long story short,

Courtney just used my phone

to send you a really bitchy text

so I'm recording this to tell you I'm sorry.

You were right to leave kappa

and I wish I was strong enough to have done the same.

And I'm gonna fix it, but,

there's one more thing.

And I wanted to tell you for so long,

I've just been really scared, and so,

I slept with Lex.

And it was after you two broke up

but I still should have told you

and then I did it again at the kappa house.

I was just already hating myself so much

for not leaving with you after what they did to Tiffany and

the truth is, I've always looked up to you.

You're such a strong person,

and I don't know, I think I was just like

trying to find my own identity

by like being different than you, but,

that's not who I am because

I'm your best friend.

I'm sorry, and I love you.

- I love you.
