What are you doing in my room?
Oh, good.
You're finally up.
I was worried I was gonna
have to wait in here all day.
Who are you?
Ivy.
But that's not really important.
What's important, Sean,
is what you've been up to.
How do you-
Shh.
You see, I'm trying
to explain myself
and I really can't do that
if you keep interrupting me.
You see, you have been
a rather naughty boy.
Last I checked, still wasn't okay
to cheat on your girlfriend.
Or is it ex-girlfriend by now?
Daphne really didn't like
you flaunting it either,
posting all those photos online
so your friends could see.
That's like two years of her
life wasted on you, Sean.
And like, for what?
Crazy bitch, you ruined my life.
Hey, I didn't cheat on
your girlfriend, buddy.
You did that all on your own.
I just took a few photos,
sent a few screenshots.
A girl's got to
get paid, you know?
Here.
You're gonna need that
a lot more than I do.
Oh and if anybody asks,
could you just
pretend I wasn't here?
It's not like anybody's
gonna believe you
after last night's adventure
through social media though.
Am I right?
I'd pick that up if I were you.
You have some serious
damage control to do.
[Daphne] Are you serious?
How long?
Because it's been two
fucking years for me.
(upbeat music)
Hugging on the coaster
Budding like a
coconut, coconut
Dancing like a coco
I don't need to go
(knuckles rap)
I did my part.
You should come out
looking squeaky clean.
Did the bastard
at least look sorry?
I mean, he honestly,
he just looked confused,
but it could have been gas.
I'm not so sure.
It was a pleasure doing business.
[Daphne] Are you
freaking kidding me?
Aw, thanks Ivy.
Thanks so much, I
appreciate all your help.
No, no, no, I'm still speaking.
How long has it been? How long?
'Cause it's been two
fucking years for me.
Excuse me, I'm speaking.
No, no, no.
Don't tell me to
fucking calm down.
Get back to the place I'm at
I don't even wanna
I don't even give a what
Another satisfied customer.
As long as there are
cheating frat bros,
I'll never be stuck eating ramen
noodles unless I choose to.
You know what the
real question is?
Why do they always have
such shitty taste of beer?
All beer is shitty.
Whoa, whoa there.
What?
It's true, it all
tastes the same.
Bitter bread water.
Why would I drink four
or five cans of something
that tastes disgusting and
will eventually give me
a nasty ass beer
gut when I can have
one or two mixed drinks
that taste like candy
and get me drunk
for the same price?
Ouch.
Okay, that felt like
a personal attack.
That's just how I feel.
Okay, well, I think it's
time for a history lesson.
Oh god.
Oh, come on, it
won't be that bad.
So.
There are these
archeologist dudes
and they're, you know, hanging
out in a ancient Sumeria
and they come across these
6,000-year-old clay tablets
that have the oldest
recipe known to man.
And do you know what
that recipe was, Paul?
Going to guess beer.
And you guessed correctly.
Do you know why beer has
withstood the test of time?
Because Europeans were nasty
and didn't know basic hygiene
and would crap in
the drinking water.
So that was the only thing
you could drink without dying.
Took a course on Renaissance
Europe last semester.
Well, that too, but
I was going to say
and refer to the fact that
it's a nice drink to have
when life decides you're
gonna have a shit day.
So you know what I'm gonna go do?
I'm gonna go have a nice, tall,
cool glass to take the edge off.
If you're talking edge, I'm
just gonna stick with this.
Okay, fair point.
Oh, come on, Paul.
You made me promise
something about
nothing till I finish
the paper from hell.
Okay, fair point.
Fucking Garland
papers are the worst.
Yikes.
Nevermind.
Thank you.
(gentle music)
Just write that paper, okay?
One of us has to
pass this semester.
Okay.
But you're picking
up snacks later.
You betcha.
Later, bitch.
Bye, jerk.
(gentle music)
(siren blares)
(knuckles rap)
Paul, you better have
that pizza, I'm starve-
I need your help.
Do you want to come in?
I'm sorry for just
showing up at your door.
It's just I didn't really
know where else to go.
[Ivy] It's okay.
Your friend Daphne told
me that you help people,
and I don't have a lot of money,
but I could pay whatever
it is that you need.
Just relax.
Take a breath.
Sit down.
I'm gonna go and
get you some water
and then you could just
tell me what's wrong.
Is that okay?
Mm-hmm.
Pizza has arrived and is
ready to be munched and...
You are definitely not Ivy.
She went to get some water.
Obviously.
Ooh, pizza.
So are you two a thing?
'Cause I didn't mean to
sit between you guys and...
(Ivy and Paul laugh)
No.
No, no.
We're just roommates.
Plus Paul's way too gay for me.
So gay, like super gay.
Super.
Maybe let's just start
with who you are.
Oh my god, I just
kind of skipped over
that part, didn't I?
Yeah, well, mental
breakdowns will do that.
Delilah.
I'm Delilah.
My friend Daphne told me
that you could help me.
Oh, def, Ivy is the best.
Paul.
Maybe let her tell me
what her problem is
before you tell her I can fix it.
I was just saying, you're
awesome at this stuff.
Sorry, go on.
I just found out that I'm
going to lose my scholarship
over something that
I didn't even do.
I maintain a 4.0 GPA and I
worked very hard at it, you know?
And today I found out that
I'm going to lose everything
over plagiarism of an essay
that I did not plagiarize.
And if I can't have my
scholarship and I lose everything,
then I won't be able
to pay for anything
and I won't know
where I'm gonna live
and I don't know what's
going to happen and I don't-
Slow down.
Just start from the beginning.
It's for Professor
Garland's class.
I have spent weeks researching
and writing this essay
and I was honestly super
proud of how it came out.
But today I received it
and it had my name on it,
but the essay wasn't mine.
And he flagged it for plagiarism.
And I have never plagiarized
a single thing in my entire life.
I don't even read
Wikipedia articles.
And to make it worse, now I
have the disciplinary hearing
on Friday and I can't even
participate in the play and I...
I cannot lose my scholarship.
Please, can you help me?
I don't know what else to do.
This doesn't seem
like an accident.
Yeah.
I don't know how it could be.
How do you think this happened?
I don't know, that's
why I came to you.
Do you think somebody framed you?
Why?
Do you have any enemies?
None that I know of.
Is that a thing that
people actually have?
You piss off anybody recently?
Anyone who could gain from this
sudden and recent downfall?
None that I know of.
Ex-boyfriends, girlfriends,
just friends, et
cetera, et cetera.
Well, I did break up
with my boyfriend
Basil a few weeks ago,
but he would never do
anything like this.
You have the original paper?
I do, as a matter of fact,
and it's date stamped and
everything and I have...
Please.
I can't make any
promises, but I'm gonna try.
Does that...
I'm going to try.
Just send me both papers.
The real one and the fake
one and I will look into it.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me yet.
So you good to get home?
Yeah, actually.
I don't live too far from here.
You sure you don't
want some pizza?
Oh, actually I'm vegetarian.
Another time then.
Thank you so much.
(upbeat music)
You believe her?
Yeah.
I think I do.
Same.
Fuck.
What is it?
Then why do I feel like
I just made a huge mistake?
'Cause you hate people.
They're the worst.
Truth.
(bell rings)
(knuckles rap)
Professor Garland.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure, sit down.
Oh, it'll only take a minute.
So how's your final paper going?
Oh, it's good, it's coming along.
I'm actually here for a
different reason though.
You see, I am writing an
article for the journal
and I was wondering if I
could ask you a few questions.
I didn't know you were
part of the journal.
It's for another
class technically,
but the article, if it's good,
will end up in the journal.
What's the article on?
It is about how
colleges handle plagiarism
and I just wanted to
get a better grasp
on how teachers deal with it
considering you are currently,
well, dealing with it.
I see.
So can I ask you a few questions?
Fire away.
Just know that there
are certain things
I won't be able to talk about
just 'cause of the
nature of the process.
Understandable.
So how do you know if a student
has plagiarized
another student's work?
Ah.
Well, typically when a
student hands in a paper,
we scan that paper
through a program
comparing it to other works,
both professional and
student submitted documents.
If more than a certain
percentage is determined
to be from other works,
it is then flagged.
After that, the professor,
which is me,
personally checks it.
What's the program?
Most universities in our network
use a program called Grapevine.
And what do you do next
if you determine that
it is plagiarized?
Then I have a private
meeting with the student
and the university gets involved.
How often does this happen?
Typically, not that often.
But when it does, it
is a serious matter.
Which is why personally,
I don't like to involve
the administration
if I don't have to.
Unless it's of course
particularly egregious.
Now, I know that you
have a certain student
who has recently been
accused of plagiarism.
I can't talk about it.
Not even off the record?
I see what you're
doing there, but no.
Okay, well, you can't
blame me for trying.
No, no, I can't.
Are you thinking about
majoring in journalism?
'Cause you just might
have a knack for it.
Nah, journalism is a dying art,
but thanks for your
help, professor.
(upbeat music)
So what did you find
out during the one-on-one?
Basically, everybody
uses the same software.
So I put in the essay that
Delilah was framed for writing
through it and it turns
out it was written
by some woman named
Rose Blue-Bell.
So we are here to
ask some questions
to see if she's involved first.
No.
I want to get the low
down on the ex-beau,
see if he's involved
with anything first.
Isn't that a lot of
jumping to conclusions
before getting all the facts
based on your
preconceived notions?
I'm taking intro to
criminology this semester
and this week is
racial profiling.
Don't worry.
I'll look into her too, okay?
Just want to get a feel
of the whole situation
before I go dragging
other people into it.
Okay, as long as you
don't start ignoring facts.
I know you're used
to people paying you
to find out if
their SO is getting
something nasty on the side.
First of all,
never say that again.
Second, are you ready
to get acquainted
with the art of our
theater department or not?
Not really.
Also, it's not
just the ex, Basil.
I also want to see what the
deal is with the school play.
Well, it's "Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
You see, that bitch with the
drink in her hand is Martha
and that glistening hunk in
the half buttoned dress shirt
and the flowers is George,
which is definitely a step
up from Richard Burton,
even if the character
is kind of a tool.
Paul, I was talking about
the actors, not the characters.
I was just asking,
are we thinking he's a jerk
on stage and real life?
Well, it's too
early to rule it out.
Remember our jump into
conclusions conversation.
I am not just saying this
because he is a good looking
man barely wearing a shirt.
Stop leering.
You're here for backup, not
to check out Delilah's ex.
No matter how hunky he is.
So you admit he's hunky.
I have eyes.
[Stage Director] All
right, everyone stop.
All right, take five, everybody.
We'll come back and
try the scene again.
Stay here for a minute, okay?
I'm gonna go ask
Basil some questions.
Yeah, you do that.
So you guys think
Delilah was framed.
I knew it.
That girl doesn't have
a bad bone in her body.
Excuse me?
I'm the George understudy.
Oh, well, yeah.
My friend Ivy, the
girl who just left,
she sometimes is a
private investigator.
She's trying to figure it out.
That's super cool.
[Paul] I know, it really is.
Well, unfortunately,
she's got it all wrong.
I get why she'd
think it was Basil
with the recent breakup and all,
but the word is
that they broke up
because he got all serious
and Delilah wasn't ready,
which is understandable
because she's young
and doesn't want
to get tied down.
As I understand,
there's not too much
bad blood there though.
Now, if anybody was
going to frame Delilah,
my money's on the
understudy Angelica.
It appears to me you seem
to know what's going on.
I'm Paul.
Reed.
Tell me more about this Angelica.
You ever watch
"Rugrats" as a child?
(pensive music)
[Angelica] Can I help you?
Oh, no.
Sorry, I was looking
for somebody else.
You're the Martha
understudy, right?
Actually, I'm just
Martha, thank you.
Hazel is the understudy now.
Oh.
What happened to the girl who
was originally playing her?
Delilah is on
academic suspension.
Plagiarism does not pay.
Now can you get out of my space?
We're in the middle
of a rehearsal
and I do not have time for this.
Actually, I'm writing a
piece on the winter showcase
for the journal and I
was hoping to get a quote
about, you know, how
you guys are handling
the sudden change so
close to opening night.
We are doing just fine.
After all, the show must go on
and we are an excellent team
full of talented actors.
I'm sorry for being
so rude earlier,
but I really don't like
people touching my things
and I really don't have the time.
[Ivy] I understand.
If you want to do an
interview at another time.
Oh.
Sorry, she doesn't
mean to be so rude.
That's just how she is.
Mm-hmm.
So you're writing an article
about us for the journal?
Maybe.
I'm still feeling things out.
I get that.
We're still feeling out
the performance ourselves.
I'm Basil.
Ivy.
I can answer some of your
questions if you need me to.
Oh, well, I was just wondering
how you guys are handling
the sudden change
so close to opening.
Yeah, not gonna lie,
it's been a bit rough.
We were playing it
pretty close already,
so it's definitely
a major setback.
Do you feel ready for
Friday's performance?
Ah, for sure.
Won't be easy, but
it is what it is.
Are you at all angry
about how plagiarism
has played a part in the
loss of your lead actress?
If you're doing a
smear piece on Delilah,
I'm not gonna be a part of that.
If she says it was
an academic mix up,
it was an academic mix up.
It's gonna get resolved soon.
I'm just asking questions.
I promise.
It's not an attack piece, okay?
I just gotta get all the details.
Good, because
Delilah's good people.
It's just being top
of the honor roll
on top of doing a whole
play, it's stressful.
Do you think it
was at all possible
for somebody to
try and frame her?
Why would somebody frame her?
All right everyone.
Time for a small stage meeting.
Let's bring it in.
I gotta go, but good luck with
the rest of your article, Ivy.
And if you need anything
else, don't be afraid to ask.
Thanks.
And the goat was in the
backseat the entire time.
You know, I always expected
drama had, well, drama.
I just didn't expect
it to be so weird.
The best things are
always a little weird.
I got what I needed,
so we should get going.
Ivy, this is Reed.
He's part of the theater program.
Hi.
Reed was telling me about
some of the other actors
involved with the play.
You know, like who
would have a motive
to frame our new friend.
If you're looking at someone
who would want to frame Delilah
and get her out of the
play, I would look to-
Angelica?
Yeah.
We just met.
You an actor?
Yeah.
They're having one of
those circle meeting things.
Shit, I got to go.
It was nice meeting you.
Bye.
Want to get snacks
on the way home?
Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Hey, Delilah.
It's Ivy.
Yeah, I think I found something,
but I'm gonna need a favor.
(upbeat music)
(car squeaks)
Hey, Ivy.
Daphne.
I just wanted to thank you
again for what you did for me
and thanks for
helping out Delilah.
It's okay, it's kind of my job.
How are you not
freezing right now?
It's not that cold out.
Plus I gotta look
good for my date.
Don't get her in too
much trouble, okay?
Promise.
Bye.
Girl does know that
it's below zero, right?
Yeah, that's Daphne for you.
I swear it's a New
Englander thing.
Her entire family
shovels in shorts.
Though I am a bit concerned about
how quickly she's moving on
rather than how she's dressed.
She's hurt.
She's trying to prove how
much she didn't need him.
I get that.
Who are we to judge how
she moves on, though?
But it's been like a day
and she's already on a date
with some guy she met on Tinder.
I could never do that.
It's been, what, three
weeks I've been single
and I'm still nowhere
near ready to date.
Everybody's different.
Plus being single isn't that bad.
Well, I guess I didn't
mean it like that.
Believe it or not, I'm actually
in love with being single.
I get to make my own decisions
without having to
wonder if somebody else
is okay with it or not.
I mean, I think it's just
so freeing to be able to do
what I want when I want
without having to ask
somebody about it first.
Preach.
(upbeat music)
So you're sure that
this is Basil's car.
It isn't like I dated him
since high school or anything.
Okay, fair point.
I just don't want
him walking in on me
breaking into his car.
No, he works out with
Sean from 6:30 to 7:30
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
He's predictable like that.
Do you really think
that it was him?
Honestly, I'm not sure.
I just need to
rule something out.
What do you mean?
You know your essay
that wasn't your essay?
Yeah.
So I was looking
into it and I found out
it was written by a former
graduate named Rose Blue-Bell.
That doesn't sound familiar.
Yeah.
That's because she goes
by the name Rose Chickweek
after she married
Derek Chickweek,
who is the cousin of one-
Basil Braxton.
That might be a coincidence,
but honestly, I don't
believe in those.
Well what are you
looking to find?
Copy of the paper, USB,
something that proves that he
might have made the switch.
Okay.
That makes sense.
You're not mad?
Why would I be mad?
You're doing exactly what it
is that I asked you to do.
Can I ask you a
personal question?
Sure.
You and Daphne.
I mean, how do you
guys know each other?
You just, you seem so different.
She's a legacy friend.
[Ivy] A what?
Okay, so Daphne and
I have known each other
since we were like six years old.
We grew up together and
we went through a lot.
But honestly, I
think you're right.
If I had met Daphne, say, today,
I don't think that
we'd be friends.
And I feel bad for saying this
because I love her to death
and I wouldn't change our
friendship for the world.
But I guess it's just
as you start to grow,
you start to grow apart from
the people that you love.
Yeah, I get that.
And then she's great.
You know, she's just more of
a sorority rush, party girl,
and I'm, well, I'm not.
Yeah, but I think that's part of
the reason to go to college.
It's not just the learning
and to get a degree
and to get a good job,
but college is the place
where you can really
meet your people.
I met Paul freshman year,
and now I couldn't imagine
my life before him.
You know, I never
thought of it like that.
I think I'm gonna go.
Oh, wait.
If it's not in the glove box,
then it's definitely going to be
on the floor of the backseat.
Thanks.
(pensive music)
How's it living
in my rear view
I'm always one step
ahead of you, you, you
I'm a psycho trip lunatic
On the run fugitive
You can't handle me
I'm 'bout to leave you
in the dust, yeah, yeah
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
Marco Polo
You keep on running,
you keep on running
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
You can look but
don't touch, yeah
You gon' leave
empty handed, yeah
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
No no no no no no no no.
You keep on running,
you keep on running
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
No no no no no no no no.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck.
(upbeat music)
Plus Linden is really cool.
I think a small party
is just what you need
to get you out of this funk, man.
Is that one of
your theater dudes?
Yeah.
Honestly, it's a pretty
chill group of people,
ignoring a few divas.
Do you know what kind of drinks
they are going to
be at this party?
It's not gonna be those
girly drinks, right?
No idea.
The invite said bring your own
beer, hence the case of paps.
Really dude, girly drinks?
Booze is booze.
Dude, I swear I lost you
ever since you started theater.
It's like I don't
even know you anymore.
You were literally
over my place yesterday
watching the Bruins game.
I say watching, but I think
you spent the whole time crying
about how much you
want Daphne back.
Thanks for that, by the way.
Daphne still has not answered
my calls, my texts, my snaps.
I even tried Linkedln.
Maybe you shouldn't
have cheated on her then?
Yeah, but I mean, I
was drunk and you know,
Violet was there and
have you seen Violet?
Because I mean, come on, look.
Dude, I'm driving.
The thing is I really
haven't been with anyone else
besides Daphne, so now I know.
Didn't you hook up with Violet
a few weeks ago at
a different party?
Yeah, but Daphne don't know.
So now you want her back?
Do you think I
still have a chance?
Honestly, you fucked up.
Royal.
I'd just move on if I were you.
Yeah, I tried that, but you know,
Violet now knows I had a
girlfriend we were hooking up
and now she wants
nothing to do with me.
Well, hey, come on.
We are young, single
guys with bright futures
in need of ruining.
I say we take advantage.
Is that how you're dealing
with Delilah dumping your ass?
It was a mutual breakup,
thank you very much.
She needs time to
figure out who she is
without a partner and
I'm respecting that.
Dude.
First, you asked her
to move in with you
at the end of the semester,
she ripped your heart out
and then had the audacity
to ask if you two
could still be friends.
Which we are.
Oh, hey, look at that,
we're at Linden's.
Time for liquor.
I'm actually gonna
meet you up there.
I'm gonna try Daphne
one more time.
All right, bro.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Don't forget to lock the
car on the way up, okay?
I will not.
(phone rings)
[Voiceover] You have reached
the voicemail of Daphne Kolster.
Please leave your
message after the beep.
Shit.
Oh, Sean.
This is sad.
How the fuck?
You should really listen to Basil
when he tells you to move on.
I know Daphne has.
Oh, look.
You peed yourself a bit.
Let's just keep this
moment between us, okay?
Not that anyone would believe you
if you tried to tell them though,
but you already know that.
There are napkins in
the glove compartment.
Oh shit, I'm sorry.
My bad.
Ivy, right?
You're the girl
that's doing the piece
about the winter
showcase for the journal.
Yeah.
Maybe, it's more for a class.
We can't all be theater majors.
Oh my god, I wish.
I'm actually a business
and finance major.
I got to be responsible,
Ms. Journalism.
I'm actually psych.
Really?
That's interesting.
I kind of hate it.
Yeah, same.
Hey, listen, I know
it's really last minute,
but my buddy Linden's having
a party like right there.
I just gotta get the
beer out of my car.
Do you maybe want to come
and hang out for a bit?
It's a really cool
group of people.
Oh, actually that's
my ride, so I got to go.
Later.
I'm so sorry, I panicked,
so I kind of followed-
That was badass.
You totally just saved
my skin back there.
Thank you.
Did you find anything?
No.
But good news though, I
don't think Basil's involved.
I don't mean to tell
you that I told you so,
but I told you so.
So far you're turning out to
be a pretty bad detective.
Hey, what happened to,
"Basil's so predictable.
He's like clockwork."
Okay, yep, I messed up too.
Yeah, I know, okay, I messed up,
which means I have to go back
and I have to
re-examine the evidence.
But you know, don't worry, okay?
I'm not out of any ideas yet.
Is this normally how
you live your life?
Not really.
You're special.
Oh, you're just saying that.
You know, you can slow down.
We're nowhere near Basil.
Plus I think Paul would
actually murder you
if we got a ticket.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, gotcha.
Thanks for the rescue.
No problem.
Though you should
probably take the wheel
because I actually
don't know how to drive
and I don't have a license.
Oh my god.
Just pull over right
here, right here.
(gentle music)
Why would someone frame Delilah?
(gentle music)
Fuck.
(gentle music)
You're not gonna believe
the night I just...
Oh shit.
Sorry.
Hey.
[Ivy] Hey.
-Hi.
-Hi.
So you wanted to
ask me something.
Yes.
Now don't say I told you so,
but I'm pretty sure
it wasn't Basil.
I knew it.
I don't know if you remember me.
I'm Reed.
We met earlier today
in the auditorium.
I remember.
It's Angelica the understudy
with an ax to grind.
Yes, I see what you mean,
but I don't want to go
jumping to any conclusions
so I'm gonna examine
all the options.
Do you have any other suspects?
What about Professor Garland?
Really?
Hey, he's the one that
flagged it as plagiarism.
But why would he do that?
Okay, so what I think
the problem was is that
I was focusing too much on
motive and not the facts.
What does this all lead back to?
Delilah.
The play.
Well, that too, but I
was gonna say the essay.
-Plagiarism.
-Plagiarism.
Yes.
It all leads back to
Professor Garland's paper
and Rose Blue-Bell.
Who's that?
Oh, she's the girl that
wrote the original paper.
Oh, that makes sense.
Would you guys be down
for a brainstorm session
or is that asking
a little too much?
Absolutely.
(upbeat music)
Consider it my apology
for my failure to knock.
Thanks for that by the way.
Yeah, that was my bad.
If it makes you feel any better,
it'll be seared into my brain
for the rest of eternity.
Weirdly enough, it does.
Maybe it will teach you a lesson.
Boys, I think it's
time for a mystery board.
I have no idea what
that is, but yes.
You ever watch a cop show
and they have the suspects
and a string tying them to clues?
It's kind of like that,
but with less murder.
Oh, I get it.
It's probably a
really bad name for it.
Shh.
This is perfect.
(funky jazz music)
What are we all smiley at?
Hey.
So you guys like DMing now?
It's not like that.
I just broke into his car.
Then it must really be love.
Stop it.
You're the one banging
some guy you met
less than 24 hours ago.
What?
He's cute, smart, funny.
Have you seen his ass?
Wait, you have.
Okay. I get it.
God, put a sock on the
door next time, okay?
I'm just not used
to you getting laid.
Ouch.
You have to admit, he's
been super helpful.
Fine.
You're right.
It is late.
We should probably go to bed.
I'm gonna stay up a little bit.
Do some more work.
I have to figure out
who framed Delilah
by Friday's disciplinary
hearing, but you go.
Get some rest.
(upbeat music)
Just don't stay
up too late, okay?
I'll try.
(upbeat music)
(phone buzzes)
Five more minutes, mom.
(phone buzzes)
Oh, no.
What's going on?
I don't know.
Breakfast?
Is that French toast?
You okay in there?
I'm late for class.
I can't find my keys, I
can't find my backpack.
And apparently your shoe.
Shove it.
Did you cook?
I didn't know you could do that.
What happened to
I'm late for class?
What? I'm hungry.
This is really good.
What about your backpack?
I'm not going to class.
Then where are you going?
I have an even stupider idea.
This has been the oddest date.
It's not normally like this.
I like it.
(upbeat music)
(doorbell rings)
Is this the house
of Rose Blue-Bell?
I'm Rose.
I go by Chickweek now.
Hi, I'm Lily.
I'm with the
Pollination Foundation.
I was wondering if I could
take a second of your time
to talk about the bees.
Okay, look, I know you don't
want to hear a whole spiel
on how the bees are dying
and we're not gonna have
any strawberries anymore,
but honestly, I just need a few
more signatures to get paid.
Is it gonna cost me any money?
No, it's just about
banning some pesticide.
Okay.
I like the environment.
Thank you.
Do I know you from somewhere?
I don't-
Did you go to an
Atkins University?
Yeah.
Were you in Garland's class?
I was the TA.
Yes, yes, I knew I recognize you.
How are you?
Would you like to come
inside for some tea?
Oh, that would be lovely.
And then I took some time
off to take care of the baby.
Would you like any
sugar or honey?
Sugar is just fine.
Thank you.
You know, it's actually so great.
I ran into you because I
was considering of TAing
for Garland next semester.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I thought it'd
be good for money
and, you know, I'm not
really looking forward
to paying back my
student loans, so.
I might pick a different
professor if I were you.
Really?
Why is that, what's
wrong with Garland?
He's just not the
best with boundaries.
You didn't hear this from me.
He likes to sleep
with his students.
Isn't he married?
Yep.
He ever, you know, with you?
Oh, no, no.
He made a couple passes.
Nothing serious.
But he did end up hooking
up with my roommate
and then dumping her after
the semester was over.
Whoa.
Yeah.
It totally wrecked her.
I mean, she finally moved on,
but it was super messed up
how he took advantage
of the situation.
Total abuse of power.
No, totally.
Come on.
I just put her down for her nap.
I'll be right back.
Take your time.
(pensive music)
Sorry.
Oh, no, but that's okay.
You know, I should
actually probably get going
because technically
I'm still on the job.
But thanks for your advice.
Seriously, you were a major help.
Us girls gotta look
out for one another.
Oh, most definitely.
Well, oh.
Oh.
(upbeat music)
(bell rings)
Hey, watch where you're going.
Sorry, my bad.
Ivy.
Basil.
We keep running into each other.
If I didn't know any better,
I'd say you were stalking me.
(Basil and Ivy laugh)
No, I only do that
when I get paid.
So how's that
article coming along?
You know, working
on it between papers
and finals wasn't my best choice.
Bummer.
Oh, it's coming along.
I'm just not getting any sleep.
Who sleeps the
week before finals?
The week, that's who.
I'm actually interviewing
Delilah for the article.
That's why I'm here.
I get that.
Angelica and I, we're just
here to talk about the play.
So, see you around?
-Yeah, see you around.
-Bye.
That looked so awkward.
Oh, really?
That's so strange 'cause
that's exactly how it felt.
So there was something that
you wanted to talk about?
I just wanted to ask
you a few more questions
'cause I feel like there's
something we looked over.
I feel a little
uncomfortable asking this,
but did Professor Garland
ever make a pass at you?
What?
Has he ever made you
feel uncomfortable?
No, not really.
I don't think he tried
to make a pass at me.
Honestly, other than class,
we don't really speak.
Any reason he'd
want to frame you?
Well, I guess there
was that one time
where he told me to smile
in the beginning of class,
but it was before
I had my coffee.
But I think that was just
my resting bitch
face that came out.
It's not really a motive.
Yeah.
I got nothing.
Maybe a TA?
We don't have one.
She quit the first month in.
Of course she did.
Why are you asking me this?
I had a really interesting
conversation with Rose.
She used to be Garland's
TA back in the day
and she told me that
he's pretty shady.
Huh.
Like dipping into
the student body
extracurricularly shady.
Oh.
Oh.
There you go.
Now the only person left on
our suspect list is Angelica.
What?
She really wants to be the lead.
Okay.
You really think that Angelica
would frame me for plagiarism
just to get my part in the play?
Your name didn't get on
that paper by accident.
I know that.
You have any proof?
Oh, you just love
shutting down my ideas.
I know, I'm sorry.
Look, I'm trying
to save your butt.
I have until Friday
afternoon to do this
and today is already Wednesday.
I know, I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to.
No, I'm sorry.
Look, I'm getting frustrated.
It's okay if you
can't figure it out.
What?
I know that you've
been trying your best,
and honestly, this whole
situation really sucks and I-
No, you don't give up
because I'm not giving up.
Look, I know you didn't do this
and I don't want to see
you get screwed over.
Okay, usually it's just
cheating rich kids.
I'm not gonna let
the system fuck you.
Thank you.
I'm a little off today, aren't I?
Little bit.
I think it's lack of sleep.
Listen, Ivy, you've got this.
You know, when I'm
feeling burnt out,
sometimes I just
like to take a rest
and it helps my mind reset.
It might not be the same
for you or maybe it is,
but maybe a rest is in order.
Okay, mom.
Listen, I have to get going,
but I just want to say thank you
for everything that you've done.
Honestly, you've been amazing.
(bell rings)
Hey you mind if I sit?
Sure.
Angelica sent me over
here to tell you that
when you write about
her for the article,
make sure to include that
she is an honor roll student,
leader of the theater club,
and a senior member
of the Model UN
all while being the
lead of the play.
She's very thorough that way.
Yeah, she says you
must maintain your image
if you want to be successful.
God, that must be exhausting.
Wait, when was Model UN?
What?
Didn't they just have
a trip to New York?
Yeah, all last week.
Stage director Nettles
was super pissed.
Shit, ruins that idea.
Huh?
Don't mind me.
I'm sleep deprived.
Listen, so that
wasn't the only reason
I wanted to come sit.
I've been trying to build
up the courage for a bit,
but I was kind of wondering
if maybe you'd want
to go out with me.
Sure.
How about tonight?
Actually could use
a break from studying
so tonight sounds good.
Really?
Yeah.
Awesome.
I'll pick you up seven-ish?
Works for me.
Wait, where am I picking you up?
I'll text you.
(upbeat music)
We finished it after you left.
What's with the red string?
That was Reed.
He said it needed the red
string or it wasn't real.
He does know I'm trying
to solve a plagiarism case,
not a murder, right?
I did explain that to him.
I think it might be Garland.
What makes you say that?
What happened to Angelica?
So I talked to Rose
Blue-Bell this morning
and she told me that Garland
used to be a little intimate
with his students back in the
day if you catch my drift.
And it can't be Angelica
because Angelica is
a part of Model UN.
And Angelica was out
of state till Monday,
so which completely
rules her out.
So do you think he
had a thing for Delilah
and she turned him down,
and that's why he ruined
her entire academic career?
No, because I also
spoke to Delilah
and Delilah told me that she
barely interacted with the man.
Then why are you
eyeing the professor?
Because I know he
had the means to do it.
I just don't know
why he would do it.
Plus he's like the
only one I have left.
Which is why you're not sure
if he's just a creepy dude
or a petty evil mastermind.
Exactly.
Wait, what's with the makeup?
I have a date.
You?
Yes, me.
(knuckles rap)
Hey, Basil.
I hope you like flowers.
I was told that they're
proper etiquette,
but now I think I might
have gone overboard.
I love them.
Basil, this is my roommate, Paul.
Paul, this is Basil.
Hey.
I'm gonna go find a vase
or vase equivalent for these.
I think that's the
best I'm gonna do.
Hey, that looks great.
You know, if I
didn't already know,
I'd never be able to tell.
Oh, yeah, my mom still
thinks it's a neat vase.
(Basil laughs)
We should get going.
It was really nice
to meet you, Paul.
Bye.
What the hell just happened?
So, why psych?
Because I thought it
would be interesting.
I like figuring out
how people work.
But in like half the
classes I'm taking,
all we do is talk about Freud.
I hate Freud.
Why is that?
He is a coke head hack
whose every single
one of his theories
has been scientifically
disproven.
Yet we still start every
semester talking about him,
no matter what
level the class is.
So is that why you're thinking of
going into journalism instead?
Not really.
I don't know what I want to do.
But the more people tell
me to go into journalism,
the more I don't want to do it.
So, why business?
My dad always said it's a
practical major and stable.
Sounds like something
a parent would say.
That's because it is.
Is that why you hate it?
It's the macroeconomics,
the microeconomics,
the economics.
It's all so dry.
I think that's why I
like acting so much.
I love getting to focus on
becoming another
person, figuring out-
Okay, Basil, the major
small talk is interesting,
but I need to be real
with you for a minute.
All right.
I'm not writing a
paper for the journal.
I am not involved
with the journal.
I'm actually looking into a
plagiarism case for a friend.
All right, like a PI?
Well, unlicensed.
I was originally hired by Delilah
to figure out who framed her.
Do you think it was me?
Oh my god, is that why
you went on this date?
No, no, no, no, no.
I went out with you
because I don't think
you did it and I like you.
You like me?
Yes.
Anyway, I'm telling you this now
because I need you not to look,
but behind you is
my prime suspect.
Why does no one ever listen?
Professor Garland, why?
Long story short,
he's sleazy, okay?
Okay, he's sleazy.
Why are you telling me now?
Because I need your
help to distract him.
You need me to distract him?
Yes, I just said that.
How?
Just go up and talk to him.
Aren't you an actor?
That's helpful.
Will you do it or not?
Yes, but only
because you like me.
(knuckles rap)
Hi, Paul.
Is Ivy around?
She went out on a date tonight.
Oh, I baked cookies as a
thank you for helping me.
Are those chunky chocolate chip?
My specialty.
Oh is that for me?
Oh, yeah.
Do you mind if I take a look?
Go for it.
I don't know why anyone
would want to do this to me.
Hey, Ivy will figure it out.
But what if she doesn't?
If she doesn't, she sure as hell
won't let you be kicked out.
Are you doing anything tonight?
Well, not really.
I mean, right about now,
I would've been just
finishing up theater practice.
Why don't you stay
and hang out for a bit?
I got a pizza and
promise it's just cheese
so you can eat it.
All right.
What are you playing?
Why don't I show you?
These cookies are delish.
Thank you.
Professor Garland?
Yes?
Hi, sorry.
Basil, Basil Braxton.
I'm a student at
Atkins University
and I would really like to
take one of your courses.
Is that a real name?
Yeah.
I know, my mom was a big fan
of "The Great Mouse Detective."
She still says it is the best
adaptation of Sherlock Holmes
and the BBC can suck it.
No offense if you like the BBC.
You look like you like the BBC.
Well, I am partial
to BBC America.
What class are you
thinking of taking?
The intro course.
Come.
Communications, communications.
Now, are you a
communications major?
Technically, I am
a business major now,
but I don't think it's really me.
Unfortunately, that
class is all filled up
for the spring semester.
But if you send me an email,
I can make sure to get
you on the wait list.
Oh, here, I have a pen.
See, I have a pen, yeah.
Actually, you know,
I can write it down.
What's the email?
Pgarland@atkins.ed...
You know, I bet I
can remember that.
Thank you for your
time, professor.
Holy moly, how did I do that?
You did great.
Really?
Totes.
Did you get what you needed?
Yes, dude was just carrying
the proof right on him.
Wow.
That seems improbable.
Did you agree to go out with me
just so you could spy
on Professor Garland?
Hey, you picked the place.
Oh, yeah.
The real question is,
are you actually named
after a cartoon mouse?
I though it was just the herb.
We're not all named
after plants, Ivy.
We should probably
look at the menu
before the waiter shows up.
(upbeat music)
This is my stop.
I had fun tonight.
Me too.
Honestly, you're one of
the most interesting people
I've met in a long time.
Night, Ivy.
Good night.
You sure you've
never played before?
I still don't even know
what the name of this game is.
Ivy.
Oh, hey, how was your date?
It was good, it kind
of came out of nowhere.
Well, I'm just glad that
you had the opportunity
to take my advice.
I actually came here to drop off
some cookies as a thank you.
They are so good.
Delilah, do you mind if I
talk to Paul for a minute?
Oh, yeah.
Paul, what the fuck?
Okay, first things first,
she came over on her own.
And second, she's actually
really cool to hang out with.
Yeah, but you could have
given me some warning.
So I'm assuming you
didn't tell Delilah
you're dating her ex boo thang.
Not yet.
And I thought I told
you stop saying that.
You planning on telling her?
Yes.
I'm just waiting for
the right moment.
Plus I really like her too
and I think she's cool,
so stop judging me.
So how really was
your date with Basil?
Oh, it was good.
Thank you so much for asking.
Now shut the fuck up.
Okay, one more question.
You kiss him?
So I'll take that as a yes.
Actually, I found out
that Garland totally
plagiarized Delilah.
Is this another
one of your hunches?
No, I totally got proof.
You at least going
to tell her that?
What, I kind of like her
and she's really cool too.
Yeah, no shit.
Okay, let's tell her.
About Basil.
Fuck no, the professor.
Oh, okay.
Delilah, I have some good
news and I have some bad news.
Okay, hit me.
So I 100% know that
Professor Garland
is the one who framed you.
What? Why?
That's the part I'm
not so sure about.
See, I was out tonight.
I ran into him and...
That's my essay.
I took that photo tonight.
Bastard.
Dude, that's fucked up.
I know.
The only issue is that
while I have enough proof
to know that he did it, I
don't really have anything
to show at your
hearing on Friday.
[Delilah] I know you'll
think of something.
You will, you always do.
I'll try.
Well, it's getting late.
I should probably
take Delilah home.
Oh, right.
It's probably a
good idea actually.
Now I just don't know how
I'm gonna write my essay.
[Paul] I don't know, my friend.
[Delilah] Oh, and do try
one of the cookies though.
I had to make sure that
Paul didn't eat them all.
Fucking Garland.
Okay, the final exams
take place in the same room,
but an hour later, 11 AM.
Hey, don't blame me.
Blame the university.
Oh, and lastly, final papers
are to be in my inbox
by midnight, okay?
No later, no
exceptions, by midnight.
And though I know that
final exams are next week,
if you happen to find yourself
with a little extra
time this weekend,
the school theater will
be doing a production
of "Who's Afraid
of Virginia Woolf?"
Which I will be
getting a sneak peek of
at tonight's dress rehearsal.
Anything else here?
Oh, the following Tuesday,
there will be a job fair
in the Rosewood building.
And I don't think you folks mind
if we end a little early today.
Good? Good.
All right, until next time.
(upbeat music)
Hey, what you doing?
Jesus.
Fuck.
Sorry, didn't
mean to startle you.
Then maybe you shouldn't
have snuck up on me.
Did you get any of my messages?
Yes.
Oh.
Good, I wasn't sure 'cause
you weren't responding.
Yeah, that's because I was busy.
I'm confused.
How so?
I thought we had a
good time last night.
We did.
Then why are you avoiding me?
Do you guys mind clearing out?
I have a class starting up soon.
Sure thing, professor.
Sorry, I was just finishing up.
What is wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
Do you like not know
how to read a room?
I was in the middle of
something time-sensitive
and you just blundered in
like an insecure idiot.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I am not insecure.
No, no, you just blew up my phone
with like 20 texts
in less than 24 hours
because I didn't text you back
during fricking finals week.
Like are you trying
to ruin any desire
I had for a second date?
You wanted to go
on a second date?
Yeah, until you
started stalking me.
I wasn't.
Okay, I see how it looks bad.
Yeah.
You want to maybe go
somewhere else and talk it?
No.
Oh.
Don't you have like a
dress rehearsal to get to?
Shit, you're right.
I want to talk later, okay?
I don't like how that ended.
(gentle music)
You know, you don't
have to do this.
Relax guys.
When has a little breaking
and entering ever stop me?
Most of the time it does.
We really need to have
a conversation about
how lately your go-to
form of problem solving
has been to resort to
breaking and entering.
Shh.
[Paul] Just saying
it's a serious problem.
Ah.
So what is the plan again?
Okay, guys, here is the plan.
You're gonna stay here,
you're gonna keep a lookout.
I'm gonna go, break
in, log into his email,
and send an email as proof
that your original essay
was not plagiarized.
Now, if you guys see
absolutely anything,
you just call me and we
will abort like a baby.
Why would you say
something like that?
I don't know.
Anyway, back to the plan.
Well, what is it that
you're going to do?
I'm gonna to sneak in
through the back door.
But how do you know
that he's not in there
or he's going to be
there anytime soon?
Ah, because he announced
it today in class.
He's going to watch
the dress rehearsal
for the winter showcase.
This is a bad plan.
It is what it is.
Guys.
Since when do you
know how to lock pick?
Since Amazon, a
bottle of tequila,
and 12 hours of YouTube happened.
Okay.
Wish me luck.
If this bitch
gets herself killed,
I'm going to be so pissed.
(pensive music)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
I know you're vegetarian,
but what are your thoughts
on pineapple on pizza?
What does that have to
do with being vegetarian?
Doesn't it have ham
on it or something?
What?
You're right, this
is terrible small talk.
No, no, sorry.
It's not that, it's just...
I keep on getting bad vibes.
No, I don't like
this either, but...
Oh fuck me, get down.
He's not supposed to be home.
What do we do now?
Does it look like I know?
Let Ivy know.
What do you think I'm doing?
Sorry.
Is that who I think it is?
I think so.
Yep.
I think she might need backup.
You wait in the car
and get it running
in case we need an escape.
Wait, wait, but I
don't know how to drive.
Why do you guys keep
doing this to me?
That should do it.
Hard proof from the
villain himself.
Oh shit.
(pensive music)
You really liked it?
Yes.
It was a truly
layered performance.
So I was thinking next
week after finals are over,
we should go on a trip, yeah.
I have ski passes.
We could spend the night.
Actually own this
wonderful timeshare nearby.
Why the hell do you
have her essay in here?
Ah.
That, okay.
Since the hearing with
the dean is tomorrow
and you're already the
lead for opening weekend
no matter what, I just
figured I tell the board
that I made a mistake
and apologize to Delilah
'cause this thing has just gotten
far bigger than it should have.
And I think it'd be better if
we just nip this in the bud.
You were supposed to burn it.
I know, but I started reading it
and it's actually
really well-written.
You lied like you always do.
I don't always lie.
Angelica, I'm
gonna leave my wife.
Angelica, I burned the essay.
Angelica, you're a
talented actress.
Angelica, I love you.
You say these things just
to get what you want,
but you don't mean it.
You never mean any of it.
Angelica.
Angelica, no.
I put three years
into that program.
I was more skilled,
the most qualified,
and they still gave it to the
affirmative action freshmen.
She's not even a theater major.
It's bullshit.
(phone dings)
Oh shit.
[Angelica] Who's there?
-[Professor Garland]
-Is that a gun?
[Angelica] Shut up.
Show yourself, I'm armed.
-[Professor Garland]
-Angelica, put that down.
(gun bangs)
Oh shit, was that a gunshot?
Wait, Paul, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
What?
We have to save her.
She's in there for you.
I know and I agree,
but maybe we should
be smart about this.
Maybe not like running into
the direction of gunfire.
What do we do then?
We walk quietly to the direction
of gunfire while armed.
Okay, better choice.
(tense music)
I said show yourself.
You just shot my wall.
I'm not going to repeat myself.
Who's behind there?
Don't shoot me.
Journalism girl?
What the hell are you doing here?
You just put a hole in my wall.
Okay, small confession.
I'm not actually writing
an article for the journal.
I'm actually a
private investigator.
What?
Oh god.
Did my wife hire you?
What?
Did you tell her anything?
Not yet.
I will pay you double
and I will give you an A
on the final paper if you
say that you found nothing.
Yes, okay, deal.
No, you're going to tell her.
Baby.
Hey, hey, I'll just do
whatever doesn't get me shot.
No one's gonna shoot you, Ivy.
Like I said, you're always lying.
Angelica, I told you
I'm going to tell her.
We just have to wait
till the time is right.
[Angelica] And when
is that going to be?
Soon, soon, just
not right now, okay?
Please, please put the gun down.
Look, I'll show you.
Do either of you have a lighter?
[Angelica] What are you doing?
See?
I am burning Delilah's paper.
Huh?
And with it gone,
there'll be no more proof.
(Delilah squeaks)
Delilah?
[Angelica] What?
Her paper, it's gone.
[Angelica] Who was behind there?
No one.
I just thought I heard
my wife come home early.
It's nothing.
(gun bangs)
My refrigerator!
[Angelica] Who was behind there?
Guys, what the fuck?
I told you to go wait in the car.
We heard gunshots
and kind of panicked.
What the hell is going on?
Someone is gonna tell me now.
Okay, look, your
wife didn't hire me.
What?
Delilah did.
(Angelica screams)
Oh.
[Angelica] You.
Angelica, baby, put
the gun down, okay?
I think this whole
thing has gotten
a little out of hand, right?
So let's just all calm down
and we can just talk it out.
Angelica.
Sweetie.
I'm done.
(gun bangs)
You shot me.
(gun bangs)
Oh shit.
(gun bangs)
(Angelica groans)
(Ivy groans)
If I don't make it, tell
whoever asks I loved them.
Except my dad.
No, Paul, don't.
Run!
Don't hurt my friend.
(gun bangs)
(upbeat music)
[Angelica] Delilah,
where are you?
Why couldn't you leave
well enough alone?
(Delilah squeaks)
Any last words?
All of this for what?
A part in the college play?
It's not about the play.
That's the problem.
You never appreciated it.
It was just handed to you.
I worked my ass
off for that part.
For once it was
gonna be about me.
But no, some college freshman
who has never even acted before
walks in and everyone goes gaga.
I'm no one's second fiddle.
(Angelica groans)
That's gotta hurt.
You okay?
Paul, Paul, is Paul okay?
-Paul.
-Paul?
Is he okay?
Well, I'm not dead.
She shot me.
Call 911.
Fuck.
Don't, don't.
[Delilah] Hello?
Yeah, my friend has been shot.
Oh, this is gonna be a bitch
to explain to the popo, isn't it?
Ow.
Sorry.
But you're not allowed
to die on me, okay?
Good thing I'm
not planning on it.
This is bullshit.
Mm-hmm.
So that's a thing that happened.
Still can't believe
it was even real.
The paramedic said that
Paul's going to be okay.
The bullet didn't hit anything.
It was just a flesh wound
and, well, you know,
you won't know for sure until
he gets to the hospital, but.
That's a relief though.
I don't think I could
live with myself if-
I know, I know.
Same.
Same.
Well, hey, that's one way
of getting out of
writing an essay.
Hey, I wrote my essay.
I know.
I'm talking about mine.
Oh, okay.
Right.
Gotcha.
So I don't think I can
get you back into your play.
Screw the play.
It's you and Paul that matter
to me the most right now.
Delilah, I have
a small confession,
but I just don't really
know how to say it.
I really like you, I really
value our friendship,
and I wouldn't want
to say anything
that would fuck
that up, but I just-
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
How about you tell me what it is
before you start worrying
about how I'm gonna react?
I went on a date with Basil.
Are you two a thing now?
I don't know, no.
He's great and he's nice and
he's a good kisser and stuff,
but he seems kind of needy.
He like blew up my
phone after one date.
I even yelled at him
earlier about it.
Yep, he does that.
You're not mad?
How can I be mad?
You literally just took
on a girl with a gun
to clear my good name.
I think you are fine.
God, tomorrow's gonna suck.
I know.
I don't want to think about it.
I know, same.
You really consider
us to be friends?
Of course.
Good.
'Cause I consider you
to be my friend too.
Really?
Of course.
Do you want to
crash at mine tonight?
I don't really want to be alone.
Yeah.
Just give me a moment.
(gentle music)
It gets so lonely
in this house
I get so tired of
the whole thing
Still I want to live
to see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
It gets so lonely
in this house
I get so tired of
the whole thing
Still I want to live
to see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
(gentle music)
(film camera clicks)
(phone buzzes)
(can fizzes)
What are you doing in my room?
Oh, good.
You're finally up.
I was worried I was gonna
have to wait in here all day.
Who are you?
Ivy.
But that's not really important.
What's important, Sean,
is what you've been up to.
How do you-
Shh.
You see, I'm trying
to explain myself
and I really can't do that
if you keep interrupting me.
You see, you have been
a rather naughty boy.
Last I checked, still wasn't okay
to cheat on your girlfriend.
Or is it ex-girlfriend by now?
Daphne really didn't like
you flaunting it either,
posting all those photos online
so your friends could see.
That's like two years of her
life wasted on you, Sean.
And like, for what?
Crazy bitch, you ruined my life.
Hey, I didn't cheat on
your girlfriend, buddy.
You did that all on your own.
I just took a few photos,
sent a few screenshots.
A girl's got to
get paid, you know?
Here.
You're gonna need that
a lot more than I do.
Oh and if anybody asks,
could you just
pretend I wasn't here?
It's not like anybody's
gonna believe you
after last night's adventure
through social media though.
Am I right?
I'd pick that up if I were you.
You have some serious
damage control to do.
[Daphne] Are you serious?
How long?
Because it's been two
fucking years for me.
(upbeat music)
Hugging on the coaster
Budding like a
coconut, coconut
Dancing like a coco
I don't need to go
(knuckles rap)
I did my part.
You should come out
looking squeaky clean.
Did the bastard
at least look sorry?
I mean, he honestly,
he just looked confused,
but it could have been gas.
I'm not so sure.
It was a pleasure doing business.
[Daphne] Are you
freaking kidding me?
Aw, thanks Ivy.
Thanks so much, I
appreciate all your help.
No, no, no, I'm still speaking.
How long has it been? How long?
'Cause it's been two
fucking years for me.
Excuse me, I'm speaking.
No, no, no.
Don't tell me to
fucking calm down.
Get back to the place I'm at
I don't even wanna
I don't even give a what
Another satisfied customer.
As long as there are
cheating frat bros,
I'll never be stuck eating ramen
noodles unless I choose to.
You know what the
real question is?
Why do they always have
such shitty taste of beer?
All beer is shitty.
Whoa, whoa there.
What?
It's true, it all
tastes the same.
Bitter bread water.
Why would I drink four
or five cans of something
that tastes disgusting and
will eventually give me
a nasty ass beer
gut when I can have
one or two mixed drinks
that taste like candy
and get me drunk
for the same price?
Ouch.
Okay, that felt like
a personal attack.
That's just how I feel.
Okay, well, I think it's
time for a history lesson.
Oh god.
Oh, come on, it
won't be that bad.
So.
There are these
archeologist dudes
and they're, you know, hanging
out in a ancient Sumeria
and they come across these
6,000-year-old clay tablets
that have the oldest
recipe known to man.
And do you know what
that recipe was, Paul?
Going to guess beer.
And you guessed correctly.
Do you know why beer has
withstood the test of time?
Because Europeans were nasty
and didn't know basic hygiene
and would crap in
the drinking water.
So that was the only thing
you could drink without dying.
Took a course on Renaissance
Europe last semester.
Well, that too, but
I was going to say
and refer to the fact that
it's a nice drink to have
when life decides you're
gonna have a shit day.
So you know what I'm gonna go do?
I'm gonna go have a nice, tall,
cool glass to take the edge off.
If you're talking edge, I'm
just gonna stick with this.
Okay, fair point.
Oh, come on, Paul.
You made me promise
something about
nothing till I finish
the paper from hell.
Okay, fair point.
Fucking Garland
papers are the worst.
Yikes.
Nevermind.
Thank you.
(gentle music)
Just write that paper, okay?
One of us has to
pass this semester.
Okay.
But you're picking
up snacks later.
You betcha.
Later, bitch.
Bye, jerk.
(gentle music)
(siren blares)
(knuckles rap)
Paul, you better have
that pizza, I'm starve-
I need your help.
Do you want to come in?
I'm sorry for just
showing up at your door.
It's just I didn't really
know where else to go.
[Ivy] It's okay.
Your friend Daphne told
me that you help people,
and I don't have a lot of money,
but I could pay whatever
it is that you need.
Just relax.
Take a breath.
Sit down.
I'm gonna go and
get you some water
and then you could just
tell me what's wrong.
Is that okay?
Mm-hmm.
Pizza has arrived and is
ready to be munched and...
You are definitely not Ivy.
She went to get some water.
Obviously.
Ooh, pizza.
So are you two a thing?
'Cause I didn't mean to
sit between you guys and...
(Ivy and Paul laugh)
No.
No, no.
We're just roommates.
Plus Paul's way too gay for me.
So gay, like super gay.
Super.
Maybe let's just start
with who you are.
Oh my god, I just
kind of skipped over
that part, didn't I?
Yeah, well, mental
breakdowns will do that.
Delilah.
I'm Delilah.
My friend Daphne told me
that you could help me.
Oh, def, Ivy is the best.
Paul.
Maybe let her tell me
what her problem is
before you tell her I can fix it.
I was just saying, you're
awesome at this stuff.
Sorry, go on.
I just found out that I'm
going to lose my scholarship
over something that
I didn't even do.
I maintain a 4.0 GPA and I
worked very hard at it, you know?
And today I found out that
I'm going to lose everything
over plagiarism of an essay
that I did not plagiarize.
And if I can't have my
scholarship and I lose everything,
then I won't be able
to pay for anything
and I won't know
where I'm gonna live
and I don't know what's
going to happen and I don't-
Slow down.
Just start from the beginning.
It's for Professor
Garland's class.
I have spent weeks researching
and writing this essay
and I was honestly super
proud of how it came out.
But today I received it
and it had my name on it,
but the essay wasn't mine.
And he flagged it for plagiarism.
And I have never plagiarized
a single thing in my entire life.
I don't even read
Wikipedia articles.
And to make it worse, now I
have the disciplinary hearing
on Friday and I can't even
participate in the play and I...
I cannot lose my scholarship.
Please, can you help me?
I don't know what else to do.
This doesn't seem
like an accident.
Yeah.
I don't know how it could be.
How do you think this happened?
I don't know, that's
why I came to you.
Do you think somebody framed you?
Why?
Do you have any enemies?
None that I know of.
Is that a thing that
people actually have?
You piss off anybody recently?
Anyone who could gain from this
sudden and recent downfall?
None that I know of.
Ex-boyfriends, girlfriends,
just friends, et
cetera, et cetera.
Well, I did break up
with my boyfriend
Basil a few weeks ago,
but he would never do
anything like this.
You have the original paper?
I do, as a matter of fact,
and it's date stamped and
everything and I have...
Please.
I can't make any
promises, but I'm gonna try.
Does that...
I'm going to try.
Just send me both papers.
The real one and the fake
one and I will look into it.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me yet.
So you good to get home?
Yeah, actually.
I don't live too far from here.
You sure you don't
want some pizza?
Oh, actually I'm vegetarian.
Another time then.
Thank you so much.
(upbeat music)
You believe her?
Yeah.
I think I do.
Same.
Fuck.
What is it?
Then why do I feel like
I just made a huge mistake?
'Cause you hate people.
They're the worst.
Truth.
(bell rings)
(knuckles rap)
Professor Garland.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure, sit down.
Oh, it'll only take a minute.
So how's your final paper going?
Oh, it's good, it's coming along.
I'm actually here for a
different reason though.
You see, I am writing an
article for the journal
and I was wondering if I
could ask you a few questions.
I didn't know you were
part of the journal.
It's for another
class technically,
but the article, if it's good,
will end up in the journal.
What's the article on?
It is about how
colleges handle plagiarism
and I just wanted to
get a better grasp
on how teachers deal with it
considering you are currently,
well, dealing with it.
I see.
So can I ask you a few questions?
Fire away.
Just know that there
are certain things
I won't be able to talk about
just 'cause of the
nature of the process.
Understandable.
So how do you know if a student
has plagiarized
another student's work?
Ah.
Well, typically when a
student hands in a paper,
we scan that paper
through a program
comparing it to other works,
both professional and
student submitted documents.
If more than a certain
percentage is determined
to be from other works,
it is then flagged.
After that, the professor,
which is me,
personally checks it.
What's the program?
Most universities in our network
use a program called Grapevine.
And what do you do next
if you determine that
it is plagiarized?
Then I have a private
meeting with the student
and the university gets involved.
How often does this happen?
Typically, not that often.
But when it does, it
is a serious matter.
Which is why personally,
I don't like to involve
the administration
if I don't have to.
Unless it's of course
particularly egregious.
Now, I know that you
have a certain student
who has recently been
accused of plagiarism.
I can't talk about it.
Not even off the record?
I see what you're
doing there, but no.
Okay, well, you can't
blame me for trying.
No, no, I can't.
Are you thinking about
majoring in journalism?
'Cause you just might
have a knack for it.
Nah, journalism is a dying art,
but thanks for your
help, professor.
(upbeat music)
So what did you find
out during the one-on-one?
Basically, everybody
uses the same software.
So I put in the essay that
Delilah was framed for writing
through it and it turns
out it was written
by some woman named
Rose Blue-Bell.
So we are here to
ask some questions
to see if she's involved first.
No.
I want to get the low
down on the ex-beau,
see if he's involved
with anything first.
Isn't that a lot of
jumping to conclusions
before getting all the facts
based on your
preconceived notions?
I'm taking intro to
criminology this semester
and this week is
racial profiling.
Don't worry.
I'll look into her too, okay?
Just want to get a feel
of the whole situation
before I go dragging
other people into it.
Okay, as long as you
don't start ignoring facts.
I know you're used
to people paying you
to find out if
their SO is getting
something nasty on the side.
First of all,
never say that again.
Second, are you ready
to get acquainted
with the art of our
theater department or not?
Not really.
Also, it's not
just the ex, Basil.
I also want to see what the
deal is with the school play.
Well, it's "Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
You see, that bitch with the
drink in her hand is Martha
and that glistening hunk in
the half buttoned dress shirt
and the flowers is George,
which is definitely a step
up from Richard Burton,
even if the character
is kind of a tool.
Paul, I was talking about
the actors, not the characters.
I was just asking,
are we thinking he's a jerk
on stage and real life?
Well, it's too
early to rule it out.
Remember our jump into
conclusions conversation.
I am not just saying this
because he is a good looking
man barely wearing a shirt.
Stop leering.
You're here for backup, not
to check out Delilah's ex.
No matter how hunky he is.
So you admit he's hunky.
I have eyes.
[Stage Director] All
right, everyone stop.
All right, take five, everybody.
We'll come back and
try the scene again.
Stay here for a minute, okay?
I'm gonna go ask
Basil some questions.
Yeah, you do that.
So you guys think
Delilah was framed.
I knew it.
That girl doesn't have
a bad bone in her body.
Excuse me?
I'm the George understudy.
Oh, well, yeah.
My friend Ivy, the
girl who just left,
she sometimes is a
private investigator.
She's trying to figure it out.
That's super cool.
[Paul] I know, it really is.
Well, unfortunately,
she's got it all wrong.
I get why she'd
think it was Basil
with the recent breakup and all,
but the word is
that they broke up
because he got all serious
and Delilah wasn't ready,
which is understandable
because she's young
and doesn't want
to get tied down.
As I understand,
there's not too much
bad blood there though.
Now, if anybody was
going to frame Delilah,
my money's on the
understudy Angelica.
It appears to me you seem
to know what's going on.
I'm Paul.
Reed.
Tell me more about this Angelica.
You ever watch
"Rugrats" as a child?
(pensive music)
[Angelica] Can I help you?
Oh, no.
Sorry, I was looking
for somebody else.
You're the Martha
understudy, right?
Actually, I'm just
Martha, thank you.
Hazel is the understudy now.
Oh.
What happened to the girl who
was originally playing her?
Delilah is on
academic suspension.
Plagiarism does not pay.
Now can you get out of my space?
We're in the middle
of a rehearsal
and I do not have time for this.
Actually, I'm writing a
piece on the winter showcase
for the journal and I
was hoping to get a quote
about, you know, how
you guys are handling
the sudden change so
close to opening night.
We are doing just fine.
After all, the show must go on
and we are an excellent team
full of talented actors.
I'm sorry for being
so rude earlier,
but I really don't like
people touching my things
and I really don't have the time.
[Ivy] I understand.
If you want to do an
interview at another time.
Oh.
Sorry, she doesn't
mean to be so rude.
That's just how she is.
Mm-hmm.
So you're writing an article
about us for the journal?
Maybe.
I'm still feeling things out.
I get that.
We're still feeling out
the performance ourselves.
I'm Basil.
Ivy.
I can answer some of your
questions if you need me to.
Oh, well, I was just wondering
how you guys are handling
the sudden change
so close to opening.
Yeah, not gonna lie,
it's been a bit rough.
We were playing it
pretty close already,
so it's definitely
a major setback.
Do you feel ready for
Friday's performance?
Ah, for sure.
Won't be easy, but
it is what it is.
Are you at all angry
about how plagiarism
has played a part in the
loss of your lead actress?
If you're doing a
smear piece on Delilah,
I'm not gonna be a part of that.
If she says it was
an academic mix up,
it was an academic mix up.
It's gonna get resolved soon.
I'm just asking questions.
I promise.
It's not an attack piece, okay?
I just gotta get all the details.
Good, because
Delilah's good people.
It's just being top
of the honor roll
on top of doing a whole
play, it's stressful.
Do you think it
was at all possible
for somebody to
try and frame her?
Why would somebody frame her?
All right everyone.
Time for a small stage meeting.
Let's bring it in.
I gotta go, but good luck with
the rest of your article, Ivy.
And if you need anything
else, don't be afraid to ask.
Thanks.
And the goat was in the
backseat the entire time.
You know, I always expected
drama had, well, drama.
I just didn't expect
it to be so weird.
The best things are
always a little weird.
I got what I needed,
so we should get going.
Ivy, this is Reed.
He's part of the theater program.
Hi.
Reed was telling me about
some of the other actors
involved with the play.
You know, like who
would have a motive
to frame our new friend.
If you're looking at someone
who would want to frame Delilah
and get her out of the
play, I would look to-
Angelica?
Yeah.
We just met.
You an actor?
Yeah.
They're having one of
those circle meeting things.
Shit, I got to go.
It was nice meeting you.
Bye.
Want to get snacks
on the way home?
Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Hey, Delilah.
It's Ivy.
Yeah, I think I found something,
but I'm gonna need a favor.
(upbeat music)
(car squeaks)
Hey, Ivy.
Daphne.
I just wanted to thank you
again for what you did for me
and thanks for
helping out Delilah.
It's okay, it's kind of my job.
How are you not
freezing right now?
It's not that cold out.
Plus I gotta look
good for my date.
Don't get her in too
much trouble, okay?
Promise.
Bye.
Girl does know that
it's below zero, right?
Yeah, that's Daphne for you.
I swear it's a New
Englander thing.
Her entire family
shovels in shorts.
Though I am a bit concerned about
how quickly she's moving on
rather than how she's dressed.
She's hurt.
She's trying to prove how
much she didn't need him.
I get that.
Who are we to judge how
she moves on, though?
But it's been like a day
and she's already on a date
with some guy she met on Tinder.
I could never do that.
It's been, what, three
weeks I've been single
and I'm still nowhere
near ready to date.
Everybody's different.
Plus being single isn't that bad.
Well, I guess I didn't
mean it like that.
Believe it or not, I'm actually
in love with being single.
I get to make my own decisions
without having to
wonder if somebody else
is okay with it or not.
I mean, I think it's just
so freeing to be able to do
what I want when I want
without having to ask
somebody about it first.
Preach.
(upbeat music)
So you're sure that
this is Basil's car.
It isn't like I dated him
since high school or anything.
Okay, fair point.
I just don't want
him walking in on me
breaking into his car.
No, he works out with
Sean from 6:30 to 7:30
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
He's predictable like that.
Do you really think
that it was him?
Honestly, I'm not sure.
I just need to
rule something out.
What do you mean?
You know your essay
that wasn't your essay?
Yeah.
So I was looking
into it and I found out
it was written by a former
graduate named Rose Blue-Bell.
That doesn't sound familiar.
Yeah.
That's because she goes
by the name Rose Chickweek
after she married
Derek Chickweek,
who is the cousin of one-
Basil Braxton.
That might be a coincidence,
but honestly, I don't
believe in those.
Well what are you
looking to find?
Copy of the paper, USB,
something that proves that he
might have made the switch.
Okay.
That makes sense.
You're not mad?
Why would I be mad?
You're doing exactly what it
is that I asked you to do.
Can I ask you a
personal question?
Sure.
You and Daphne.
I mean, how do you
guys know each other?
You just, you seem so different.
She's a legacy friend.
[Ivy] A what?
Okay, so Daphne and
I have known each other
since we were like six years old.
We grew up together and
we went through a lot.
But honestly, I
think you're right.
If I had met Daphne, say, today,
I don't think that
we'd be friends.
And I feel bad for saying this
because I love her to death
and I wouldn't change our
friendship for the world.
But I guess it's just
as you start to grow,
you start to grow apart from
the people that you love.
Yeah, I get that.
And then she's great.
You know, she's just more of
a sorority rush, party girl,
and I'm, well, I'm not.
Yeah, but I think that's part of
the reason to go to college.
It's not just the learning
and to get a degree
and to get a good job,
but college is the place
where you can really
meet your people.
I met Paul freshman year,
and now I couldn't imagine
my life before him.
You know, I never
thought of it like that.
I think I'm gonna go.
Oh, wait.
If it's not in the glove box,
then it's definitely going to be
on the floor of the backseat.
Thanks.
(pensive music)
How's it living
in my rear view
I'm always one step
ahead of you, you, you
I'm a psycho trip lunatic
On the run fugitive
You can't handle me
I'm 'bout to leave you
in the dust, yeah, yeah
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
Marco Polo
You keep on running,
you keep on running
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
You can look but
don't touch, yeah
You gon' leave
empty handed, yeah
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
No no no no no no no no.
You keep on running,
you keep on running
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh
Marco Polo
You'll never catch me,
you'll never catch me
No no no no no no no no.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck.
(upbeat music)
Plus Linden is really cool.
I think a small party
is just what you need
to get you out of this funk, man.
Is that one of
your theater dudes?
Yeah.
Honestly, it's a pretty
chill group of people,
ignoring a few divas.
Do you know what kind of drinks
they are going to
be at this party?
It's not gonna be those
girly drinks, right?
No idea.
The invite said bring your own
beer, hence the case of paps.
Really dude, girly drinks?
Booze is booze.
Dude, I swear I lost you
ever since you started theater.
It's like I don't
even know you anymore.
You were literally
over my place yesterday
watching the Bruins game.
I say watching, but I think
you spent the whole time crying
about how much you
want Daphne back.
Thanks for that, by the way.
Daphne still has not answered
my calls, my texts, my snaps.
I even tried Linkedln.
Maybe you shouldn't
have cheated on her then?
Yeah, but I mean, I
was drunk and you know,
Violet was there and
have you seen Violet?
Because I mean, come on, look.
Dude, I'm driving.
The thing is I really
haven't been with anyone else
besides Daphne, so now I know.
Didn't you hook up with Violet
a few weeks ago at
a different party?
Yeah, but Daphne don't know.
So now you want her back?
Do you think I
still have a chance?
Honestly, you fucked up.
Royal.
I'd just move on if I were you.
Yeah, I tried that, but you know,
Violet now knows I had a
girlfriend we were hooking up
and now she wants
nothing to do with me.
Well, hey, come on.
We are young, single
guys with bright futures
in need of ruining.
I say we take advantage.
Is that how you're dealing
with Delilah dumping your ass?
It was a mutual breakup,
thank you very much.
She needs time to
figure out who she is
without a partner and
I'm respecting that.
Dude.
First, you asked her
to move in with you
at the end of the semester,
she ripped your heart out
and then had the audacity
to ask if you two
could still be friends.
Which we are.
Oh, hey, look at that,
we're at Linden's.
Time for liquor.
I'm actually gonna
meet you up there.
I'm gonna try Daphne
one more time.
All right, bro.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Don't forget to lock the
car on the way up, okay?
I will not.
(phone rings)
[Voiceover] You have reached
the voicemail of Daphne Kolster.
Please leave your
message after the beep.
Shit.
Oh, Sean.
This is sad.
How the fuck?
You should really listen to Basil
when he tells you to move on.
I know Daphne has.
Oh, look.
You peed yourself a bit.
Let's just keep this
moment between us, okay?
Not that anyone would believe you
if you tried to tell them though,
but you already know that.
There are napkins in
the glove compartment.
Oh shit, I'm sorry.
My bad.
Ivy, right?
You're the girl
that's doing the piece
about the winter
showcase for the journal.
Yeah.
Maybe, it's more for a class.
We can't all be theater majors.
Oh my god, I wish.
I'm actually a business
and finance major.
I got to be responsible,
Ms. Journalism.
I'm actually psych.
Really?
That's interesting.
I kind of hate it.
Yeah, same.
Hey, listen, I know
it's really last minute,
but my buddy Linden's having
a party like right there.
I just gotta get the
beer out of my car.
Do you maybe want to come
and hang out for a bit?
It's a really cool
group of people.
Oh, actually that's
my ride, so I got to go.
Later.
I'm so sorry, I panicked,
so I kind of followed-
That was badass.
You totally just saved
my skin back there.
Thank you.
Did you find anything?
No.
But good news though, I
don't think Basil's involved.
I don't mean to tell
you that I told you so,
but I told you so.
So far you're turning out to
be a pretty bad detective.
Hey, what happened to,
"Basil's so predictable.
He's like clockwork."
Okay, yep, I messed up too.
Yeah, I know, okay, I messed up,
which means I have to go back
and I have to
re-examine the evidence.
But you know, don't worry, okay?
I'm not out of any ideas yet.
Is this normally how
you live your life?
Not really.
You're special.
Oh, you're just saying that.
You know, you can slow down.
We're nowhere near Basil.
Plus I think Paul would
actually murder you
if we got a ticket.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, gotcha.
Thanks for the rescue.
No problem.
Though you should
probably take the wheel
because I actually
don't know how to drive
and I don't have a license.
Oh my god.
Just pull over right
here, right here.
(gentle music)
Why would someone frame Delilah?
(gentle music)
Fuck.
(gentle music)
You're not gonna believe
the night I just...
Oh shit.
Sorry.
Hey.
[Ivy] Hey.
-Hi.
-Hi.
So you wanted to
ask me something.
Yes.
Now don't say I told you so,
but I'm pretty sure
it wasn't Basil.
I knew it.
I don't know if you remember me.
I'm Reed.
We met earlier today
in the auditorium.
I remember.
It's Angelica the understudy
with an ax to grind.
Yes, I see what you mean,
but I don't want to go
jumping to any conclusions
so I'm gonna examine
all the options.
Do you have any other suspects?
What about Professor Garland?
Really?
Hey, he's the one that
flagged it as plagiarism.
But why would he do that?
Okay, so what I think
the problem was is that
I was focusing too much on
motive and not the facts.
What does this all lead back to?
Delilah.
The play.
Well, that too, but I
was gonna say the essay.
-Plagiarism.
-Plagiarism.
Yes.
It all leads back to
Professor Garland's paper
and Rose Blue-Bell.
Who's that?
Oh, she's the girl that
wrote the original paper.
Oh, that makes sense.
Would you guys be down
for a brainstorm session
or is that asking
a little too much?
Absolutely.
(upbeat music)
Consider it my apology
for my failure to knock.
Thanks for that by the way.
Yeah, that was my bad.
If it makes you feel any better,
it'll be seared into my brain
for the rest of eternity.
Weirdly enough, it does.
Maybe it will teach you a lesson.
Boys, I think it's
time for a mystery board.
I have no idea what
that is, but yes.
You ever watch a cop show
and they have the suspects
and a string tying them to clues?
It's kind of like that,
but with less murder.
Oh, I get it.
It's probably a
really bad name for it.
Shh.
This is perfect.
(funky jazz music)
What are we all smiley at?
Hey.
So you guys like DMing now?
It's not like that.
I just broke into his car.
Then it must really be love.
Stop it.
You're the one banging
some guy you met
less than 24 hours ago.
What?
He's cute, smart, funny.
Have you seen his ass?
Wait, you have.
Okay. I get it.
God, put a sock on the
door next time, okay?
I'm just not used
to you getting laid.
Ouch.
You have to admit, he's
been super helpful.
Fine.
You're right.
It is late.
We should probably go to bed.
I'm gonna stay up a little bit.
Do some more work.
I have to figure out
who framed Delilah
by Friday's disciplinary
hearing, but you go.
Get some rest.
(upbeat music)
Just don't stay
up too late, okay?
I'll try.
(upbeat music)
(phone buzzes)
Five more minutes, mom.
(phone buzzes)
Oh, no.
What's going on?
I don't know.
Breakfast?
Is that French toast?
You okay in there?
I'm late for class.
I can't find my keys, I
can't find my backpack.
And apparently your shoe.
Shove it.
Did you cook?
I didn't know you could do that.
What happened to
I'm late for class?
What? I'm hungry.
This is really good.
What about your backpack?
I'm not going to class.
Then where are you going?
I have an even stupider idea.
This has been the oddest date.
It's not normally like this.
I like it.
(upbeat music)
(doorbell rings)
Is this the house
of Rose Blue-Bell?
I'm Rose.
I go by Chickweek now.
Hi, I'm Lily.
I'm with the
Pollination Foundation.
I was wondering if I could
take a second of your time
to talk about the bees.
Okay, look, I know you don't
want to hear a whole spiel
on how the bees are dying
and we're not gonna have
any strawberries anymore,
but honestly, I just need a few
more signatures to get paid.
Is it gonna cost me any money?
No, it's just about
banning some pesticide.
Okay.
I like the environment.
Thank you.
Do I know you from somewhere?
I don't-
Did you go to an
Atkins University?
Yeah.
Were you in Garland's class?
I was the TA.
Yes, yes, I knew I recognize you.
How are you?
Would you like to come
inside for some tea?
Oh, that would be lovely.
And then I took some time
off to take care of the baby.
Would you like any
sugar or honey?
Sugar is just fine.
Thank you.
You know, it's actually so great.
I ran into you because I
was considering of TAing
for Garland next semester.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I thought it'd
be good for money
and, you know, I'm not
really looking forward
to paying back my
student loans, so.
I might pick a different
professor if I were you.
Really?
Why is that, what's
wrong with Garland?
He's just not the
best with boundaries.
You didn't hear this from me.
He likes to sleep
with his students.
Isn't he married?
Yep.
He ever, you know, with you?
Oh, no, no.
He made a couple passes.
Nothing serious.
But he did end up hooking
up with my roommate
and then dumping her after
the semester was over.
Whoa.
Yeah.
It totally wrecked her.
I mean, she finally moved on,
but it was super messed up
how he took advantage
of the situation.
Total abuse of power.
No, totally.
Come on.
I just put her down for her nap.
I'll be right back.
Take your time.
(pensive music)
Sorry.
Oh, no, but that's okay.
You know, I should
actually probably get going
because technically
I'm still on the job.
But thanks for your advice.
Seriously, you were a major help.
Us girls gotta look
out for one another.
Oh, most definitely.
Well, oh.
Oh.
(upbeat music)
(bell rings)
Hey, watch where you're going.
Sorry, my bad.
Ivy.
Basil.
We keep running into each other.
If I didn't know any better,
I'd say you were stalking me.
(Basil and Ivy laugh)
No, I only do that
when I get paid.
So how's that
article coming along?
You know, working
on it between papers
and finals wasn't my best choice.
Bummer.
Oh, it's coming along.
I'm just not getting any sleep.
Who sleeps the
week before finals?
The week, that's who.
I'm actually interviewing
Delilah for the article.
That's why I'm here.
I get that.
Angelica and I, we're just
here to talk about the play.
So, see you around?
-Yeah, see you around.
-Bye.
That looked so awkward.
Oh, really?
That's so strange 'cause
that's exactly how it felt.
So there was something that
you wanted to talk about?
I just wanted to ask
you a few more questions
'cause I feel like there's
something we looked over.
I feel a little
uncomfortable asking this,
but did Professor Garland
ever make a pass at you?
What?
Has he ever made you
feel uncomfortable?
No, not really.
I don't think he tried
to make a pass at me.
Honestly, other than class,
we don't really speak.
Any reason he'd
want to frame you?
Well, I guess there
was that one time
where he told me to smile
in the beginning of class,
but it was before
I had my coffee.
But I think that was just
my resting bitch
face that came out.
It's not really a motive.
Yeah.
I got nothing.
Maybe a TA?
We don't have one.
She quit the first month in.
Of course she did.
Why are you asking me this?
I had a really interesting
conversation with Rose.
She used to be Garland's
TA back in the day
and she told me that
he's pretty shady.
Huh.
Like dipping into
the student body
extracurricularly shady.
Oh.
Oh.
There you go.
Now the only person left on
our suspect list is Angelica.
What?
She really wants to be the lead.
Okay.
You really think that Angelica
would frame me for plagiarism
just to get my part in the play?
Your name didn't get on
that paper by accident.
I know that.
You have any proof?
Oh, you just love
shutting down my ideas.
I know, I'm sorry.
Look, I'm trying
to save your butt.
I have until Friday
afternoon to do this
and today is already Wednesday.
I know, I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to.
No, I'm sorry.
Look, I'm getting frustrated.
It's okay if you
can't figure it out.
What?
I know that you've
been trying your best,
and honestly, this whole
situation really sucks and I-
No, you don't give up
because I'm not giving up.
Look, I know you didn't do this
and I don't want to see
you get screwed over.
Okay, usually it's just
cheating rich kids.
I'm not gonna let
the system fuck you.
Thank you.
I'm a little off today, aren't I?
Little bit.
I think it's lack of sleep.
Listen, Ivy, you've got this.
You know, when I'm
feeling burnt out,
sometimes I just
like to take a rest
and it helps my mind reset.
It might not be the same
for you or maybe it is,
but maybe a rest is in order.
Okay, mom.
Listen, I have to get going,
but I just want to say thank you
for everything that you've done.
Honestly, you've been amazing.
(bell rings)
Hey you mind if I sit?
Sure.
Angelica sent me over
here to tell you that
when you write about
her for the article,
make sure to include that
she is an honor roll student,
leader of the theater club,
and a senior member
of the Model UN
all while being the
lead of the play.
She's very thorough that way.
Yeah, she says you
must maintain your image
if you want to be successful.
God, that must be exhausting.
Wait, when was Model UN?
What?
Didn't they just have
a trip to New York?
Yeah, all last week.
Stage director Nettles
was super pissed.
Shit, ruins that idea.
Huh?
Don't mind me.
I'm sleep deprived.
Listen, so that
wasn't the only reason
I wanted to come sit.
I've been trying to build
up the courage for a bit,
but I was kind of wondering
if maybe you'd want
to go out with me.
Sure.
How about tonight?
Actually could use
a break from studying
so tonight sounds good.
Really?
Yeah.
Awesome.
I'll pick you up seven-ish?
Works for me.
Wait, where am I picking you up?
I'll text you.
(upbeat music)
We finished it after you left.
What's with the red string?
That was Reed.
He said it needed the red
string or it wasn't real.
He does know I'm trying
to solve a plagiarism case,
not a murder, right?
I did explain that to him.
I think it might be Garland.
What makes you say that?
What happened to Angelica?
So I talked to Rose
Blue-Bell this morning
and she told me that Garland
used to be a little intimate
with his students back in the
day if you catch my drift.
And it can't be Angelica
because Angelica is
a part of Model UN.
And Angelica was out
of state till Monday,
so which completely
rules her out.
So do you think he
had a thing for Delilah
and she turned him down,
and that's why he ruined
her entire academic career?
No, because I also
spoke to Delilah
and Delilah told me that she
barely interacted with the man.
Then why are you
eyeing the professor?
Because I know he
had the means to do it.
I just don't know
why he would do it.
Plus he's like the
only one I have left.
Which is why you're not sure
if he's just a creepy dude
or a petty evil mastermind.
Exactly.
Wait, what's with the makeup?
I have a date.
You?
Yes, me.
(knuckles rap)
Hey, Basil.
I hope you like flowers.
I was told that they're
proper etiquette,
but now I think I might
have gone overboard.
I love them.
Basil, this is my roommate, Paul.
Paul, this is Basil.
Hey.
I'm gonna go find a vase
or vase equivalent for these.
I think that's the
best I'm gonna do.
Hey, that looks great.
You know, if I
didn't already know,
I'd never be able to tell.
Oh, yeah, my mom still
thinks it's a neat vase.
(Basil laughs)
We should get going.
It was really nice
to meet you, Paul.
Bye.
What the hell just happened?
So, why psych?
Because I thought it
would be interesting.
I like figuring out
how people work.
But in like half the
classes I'm taking,
all we do is talk about Freud.
I hate Freud.
Why is that?
He is a coke head hack
whose every single
one of his theories
has been scientifically
disproven.
Yet we still start every
semester talking about him,
no matter what
level the class is.
So is that why you're thinking of
going into journalism instead?
Not really.
I don't know what I want to do.
But the more people tell
me to go into journalism,
the more I don't want to do it.
So, why business?
My dad always said it's a
practical major and stable.
Sounds like something
a parent would say.
That's because it is.
Is that why you hate it?
It's the macroeconomics,
the microeconomics,
the economics.
It's all so dry.
I think that's why I
like acting so much.
I love getting to focus on
becoming another
person, figuring out-
Okay, Basil, the major
small talk is interesting,
but I need to be real
with you for a minute.
All right.
I'm not writing a
paper for the journal.
I am not involved
with the journal.
I'm actually looking into a
plagiarism case for a friend.
All right, like a PI?
Well, unlicensed.
I was originally hired by Delilah
to figure out who framed her.
Do you think it was me?
Oh my god, is that why
you went on this date?
No, no, no, no, no.
I went out with you
because I don't think
you did it and I like you.
You like me?
Yes.
Anyway, I'm telling you this now
because I need you not to look,
but behind you is
my prime suspect.
Why does no one ever listen?
Professor Garland, why?
Long story short,
he's sleazy, okay?
Okay, he's sleazy.
Why are you telling me now?
Because I need your
help to distract him.
You need me to distract him?
Yes, I just said that.
How?
Just go up and talk to him.
Aren't you an actor?
That's helpful.
Will you do it or not?
Yes, but only
because you like me.
(knuckles rap)
Hi, Paul.
Is Ivy around?
She went out on a date tonight.
Oh, I baked cookies as a
thank you for helping me.
Are those chunky chocolate chip?
My specialty.
Oh is that for me?
Oh, yeah.
Do you mind if I take a look?
Go for it.
I don't know why anyone
would want to do this to me.
Hey, Ivy will figure it out.
But what if she doesn't?
If she doesn't, she sure as hell
won't let you be kicked out.
Are you doing anything tonight?
Well, not really.
I mean, right about now,
I would've been just
finishing up theater practice.
Why don't you stay
and hang out for a bit?
I got a pizza and
promise it's just cheese
so you can eat it.
All right.
What are you playing?
Why don't I show you?
These cookies are delish.
Thank you.
Professor Garland?
Yes?
Hi, sorry.
Basil, Basil Braxton.
I'm a student at
Atkins University
and I would really like to
take one of your courses.
Is that a real name?
Yeah.
I know, my mom was a big fan
of "The Great Mouse Detective."
She still says it is the best
adaptation of Sherlock Holmes
and the BBC can suck it.
No offense if you like the BBC.
You look like you like the BBC.
Well, I am partial
to BBC America.
What class are you
thinking of taking?
The intro course.
Come.
Communications, communications.
Now, are you a
communications major?
Technically, I am
a business major now,
but I don't think it's really me.
Unfortunately, that
class is all filled up
for the spring semester.
But if you send me an email,
I can make sure to get
you on the wait list.
Oh, here, I have a pen.
See, I have a pen, yeah.
Actually, you know,
I can write it down.
What's the email?
Pgarland@atkins.ed...
You know, I bet I
can remember that.
Thank you for your
time, professor.
Holy moly, how did I do that?
You did great.
Really?
Totes.
Did you get what you needed?
Yes, dude was just carrying
the proof right on him.
Wow.
That seems improbable.
Did you agree to go out with me
just so you could spy
on Professor Garland?
Hey, you picked the place.
Oh, yeah.
The real question is,
are you actually named
after a cartoon mouse?
I though it was just the herb.
We're not all named
after plants, Ivy.
We should probably
look at the menu
before the waiter shows up.
(upbeat music)
This is my stop.
I had fun tonight.
Me too.
Honestly, you're one of
the most interesting people
I've met in a long time.
Night, Ivy.
Good night.
You sure you've
never played before?
I still don't even know
what the name of this game is.
Ivy.
Oh, hey, how was your date?
It was good, it kind
of came out of nowhere.
Well, I'm just glad that
you had the opportunity
to take my advice.
I actually came here to drop off
some cookies as a thank you.
They are so good.
Delilah, do you mind if I
talk to Paul for a minute?
Oh, yeah.
Paul, what the fuck?
Okay, first things first,
she came over on her own.
And second, she's actually
really cool to hang out with.
Yeah, but you could have
given me some warning.
So I'm assuming you
didn't tell Delilah
you're dating her ex boo thang.
Not yet.
And I thought I told
you stop saying that.
You planning on telling her?
Yes.
I'm just waiting for
the right moment.
Plus I really like her too
and I think she's cool,
so stop judging me.
So how really was
your date with Basil?
Oh, it was good.
Thank you so much for asking.
Now shut the fuck up.
Okay, one more question.
You kiss him?
So I'll take that as a yes.
Actually, I found out
that Garland totally
plagiarized Delilah.
Is this another
one of your hunches?
No, I totally got proof.
You at least going
to tell her that?
What, I kind of like her
and she's really cool too.
Yeah, no shit.
Okay, let's tell her.
About Basil.
Fuck no, the professor.
Oh, okay.
Delilah, I have some good
news and I have some bad news.
Okay, hit me.
So I 100% know that
Professor Garland
is the one who framed you.
What? Why?
That's the part I'm
not so sure about.
See, I was out tonight.
I ran into him and...
That's my essay.
I took that photo tonight.
Bastard.
Dude, that's fucked up.
I know.
The only issue is that
while I have enough proof
to know that he did it, I
don't really have anything
to show at your
hearing on Friday.
[Delilah] I know you'll
think of something.
You will, you always do.
I'll try.
Well, it's getting late.
I should probably
take Delilah home.
Oh, right.
It's probably a
good idea actually.
Now I just don't know how
I'm gonna write my essay.
[Paul] I don't know, my friend.
[Delilah] Oh, and do try
one of the cookies though.
I had to make sure that
Paul didn't eat them all.
Fucking Garland.
Okay, the final exams
take place in the same room,
but an hour later, 11 AM.
Hey, don't blame me.
Blame the university.
Oh, and lastly, final papers
are to be in my inbox
by midnight, okay?
No later, no
exceptions, by midnight.
And though I know that
final exams are next week,
if you happen to find yourself
with a little extra
time this weekend,
the school theater will
be doing a production
of "Who's Afraid
of Virginia Woolf?"
Which I will be
getting a sneak peek of
at tonight's dress rehearsal.
Anything else here?
Oh, the following Tuesday,
there will be a job fair
in the Rosewood building.
And I don't think you folks mind
if we end a little early today.
Good? Good.
All right, until next time.
(upbeat music)
Hey, what you doing?
Jesus.
Fuck.
Sorry, didn't
mean to startle you.
Then maybe you shouldn't
have snuck up on me.
Did you get any of my messages?
Yes.
Oh.
Good, I wasn't sure 'cause
you weren't responding.
Yeah, that's because I was busy.
I'm confused.
How so?
I thought we had a
good time last night.
We did.
Then why are you avoiding me?
Do you guys mind clearing out?
I have a class starting up soon.
Sure thing, professor.
Sorry, I was just finishing up.
What is wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
Do you like not know
how to read a room?
I was in the middle of
something time-sensitive
and you just blundered in
like an insecure idiot.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I am not insecure.
No, no, you just blew up my phone
with like 20 texts
in less than 24 hours
because I didn't text you back
during fricking finals week.
Like are you trying
to ruin any desire
I had for a second date?
You wanted to go
on a second date?
Yeah, until you
started stalking me.
I wasn't.
Okay, I see how it looks bad.
Yeah.
You want to maybe go
somewhere else and talk it?
No.
Oh.
Don't you have like a
dress rehearsal to get to?
Shit, you're right.
I want to talk later, okay?
I don't like how that ended.
(gentle music)
You know, you don't
have to do this.
Relax guys.
When has a little breaking
and entering ever stop me?
Most of the time it does.
We really need to have
a conversation about
how lately your go-to
form of problem solving
has been to resort to
breaking and entering.
Shh.
[Paul] Just saying
it's a serious problem.
Ah.
So what is the plan again?
Okay, guys, here is the plan.
You're gonna stay here,
you're gonna keep a lookout.
I'm gonna go, break
in, log into his email,
and send an email as proof
that your original essay
was not plagiarized.
Now, if you guys see
absolutely anything,
you just call me and we
will abort like a baby.
Why would you say
something like that?
I don't know.
Anyway, back to the plan.
Well, what is it that
you're going to do?
I'm gonna to sneak in
through the back door.
But how do you know
that he's not in there
or he's going to be
there anytime soon?
Ah, because he announced
it today in class.
He's going to watch
the dress rehearsal
for the winter showcase.
This is a bad plan.
It is what it is.
Guys.
Since when do you
know how to lock pick?
Since Amazon, a
bottle of tequila,
and 12 hours of YouTube happened.
Okay.
Wish me luck.
If this bitch
gets herself killed,
I'm going to be so pissed.
(pensive music)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
I know you're vegetarian,
but what are your thoughts
on pineapple on pizza?
What does that have to
do with being vegetarian?
Doesn't it have ham
on it or something?
What?
You're right, this
is terrible small talk.
No, no, sorry.
It's not that, it's just...
I keep on getting bad vibes.
No, I don't like
this either, but...
Oh fuck me, get down.
He's not supposed to be home.
What do we do now?
Does it look like I know?
Let Ivy know.
What do you think I'm doing?
Sorry.
Is that who I think it is?
I think so.
Yep.
I think she might need backup.
You wait in the car
and get it running
in case we need an escape.
Wait, wait, but I
don't know how to drive.
Why do you guys keep
doing this to me?
That should do it.
Hard proof from the
villain himself.
Oh shit.
(pensive music)
You really liked it?
Yes.
It was a truly
layered performance.
So I was thinking next
week after finals are over,
we should go on a trip, yeah.
I have ski passes.
We could spend the night.
Actually own this
wonderful timeshare nearby.
Why the hell do you
have her essay in here?
Ah.
That, okay.
Since the hearing with
the dean is tomorrow
and you're already the
lead for opening weekend
no matter what, I just
figured I tell the board
that I made a mistake
and apologize to Delilah
'cause this thing has just gotten
far bigger than it should have.
And I think it'd be better if
we just nip this in the bud.
You were supposed to burn it.
I know, but I started reading it
and it's actually
really well-written.
You lied like you always do.
I don't always lie.
Angelica, I'm
gonna leave my wife.
Angelica, I burned the essay.
Angelica, you're a
talented actress.
Angelica, I love you.
You say these things just
to get what you want,
but you don't mean it.
You never mean any of it.
Angelica.
Angelica, no.
I put three years
into that program.
I was more skilled,
the most qualified,
and they still gave it to the
affirmative action freshmen.
She's not even a theater major.
It's bullshit.
(phone dings)
Oh shit.
[Angelica] Who's there?
-[Professor Garland]
-Is that a gun?
[Angelica] Shut up.
Show yourself, I'm armed.
-[Professor Garland]
-Angelica, put that down.
(gun bangs)
Oh shit, was that a gunshot?
Wait, Paul, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
What?
We have to save her.
She's in there for you.
I know and I agree,
but maybe we should
be smart about this.
Maybe not like running into
the direction of gunfire.
What do we do then?
We walk quietly to the direction
of gunfire while armed.
Okay, better choice.
(tense music)
I said show yourself.
You just shot my wall.
I'm not going to repeat myself.
Who's behind there?
Don't shoot me.
Journalism girl?
What the hell are you doing here?
You just put a hole in my wall.
Okay, small confession.
I'm not actually writing
an article for the journal.
I'm actually a
private investigator.
What?
Oh god.
Did my wife hire you?
What?
Did you tell her anything?
Not yet.
I will pay you double
and I will give you an A
on the final paper if you
say that you found nothing.
Yes, okay, deal.
No, you're going to tell her.
Baby.
Hey, hey, I'll just do
whatever doesn't get me shot.
No one's gonna shoot you, Ivy.
Like I said, you're always lying.
Angelica, I told you
I'm going to tell her.
We just have to wait
till the time is right.
[Angelica] And when
is that going to be?
Soon, soon, just
not right now, okay?
Please, please put the gun down.
Look, I'll show you.
Do either of you have a lighter?
[Angelica] What are you doing?
See?
I am burning Delilah's paper.
Huh?
And with it gone,
there'll be no more proof.
(Delilah squeaks)
Delilah?
[Angelica] What?
Her paper, it's gone.
[Angelica] Who was behind there?
No one.
I just thought I heard
my wife come home early.
It's nothing.
(gun bangs)
My refrigerator!
[Angelica] Who was behind there?
Guys, what the fuck?
I told you to go wait in the car.
We heard gunshots
and kind of panicked.
What the hell is going on?
Someone is gonna tell me now.
Okay, look, your
wife didn't hire me.
What?
Delilah did.
(Angelica screams)
Oh.
[Angelica] You.
Angelica, baby, put
the gun down, okay?
I think this whole
thing has gotten
a little out of hand, right?
So let's just all calm down
and we can just talk it out.
Angelica.
Sweetie.
I'm done.
(gun bangs)
You shot me.
(gun bangs)
Oh shit.
(gun bangs)
(Angelica groans)
(Ivy groans)
If I don't make it, tell
whoever asks I loved them.
Except my dad.
No, Paul, don't.
Run!
Don't hurt my friend.
(gun bangs)
(upbeat music)
[Angelica] Delilah,
where are you?
Why couldn't you leave
well enough alone?
(Delilah squeaks)
Any last words?
All of this for what?
A part in the college play?
It's not about the play.
That's the problem.
You never appreciated it.
It was just handed to you.
I worked my ass
off for that part.
For once it was
gonna be about me.
But no, some college freshman
who has never even acted before
walks in and everyone goes gaga.
I'm no one's second fiddle.
(Angelica groans)
That's gotta hurt.
You okay?
Paul, Paul, is Paul okay?
-Paul.
-Paul?
Is he okay?
Well, I'm not dead.
She shot me.
Call 911.
Fuck.
Don't, don't.
[Delilah] Hello?
Yeah, my friend has been shot.
Oh, this is gonna be a bitch
to explain to the popo, isn't it?
Ow.
Sorry.
But you're not allowed
to die on me, okay?
Good thing I'm
not planning on it.
This is bullshit.
Mm-hmm.
So that's a thing that happened.
Still can't believe
it was even real.
The paramedic said that
Paul's going to be okay.
The bullet didn't hit anything.
It was just a flesh wound
and, well, you know,
you won't know for sure until
he gets to the hospital, but.
That's a relief though.
I don't think I could
live with myself if-
I know, I know.
Same.
Same.
Well, hey, that's one way
of getting out of
writing an essay.
Hey, I wrote my essay.
I know.
I'm talking about mine.
Oh, okay.
Right.
Gotcha.
So I don't think I can
get you back into your play.
Screw the play.
It's you and Paul that matter
to me the most right now.
Delilah, I have
a small confession,
but I just don't really
know how to say it.
I really like you, I really
value our friendship,
and I wouldn't want
to say anything
that would fuck
that up, but I just-
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
How about you tell me what it is
before you start worrying
about how I'm gonna react?
I went on a date with Basil.
Are you two a thing now?
I don't know, no.
He's great and he's nice and
he's a good kisser and stuff,
but he seems kind of needy.
He like blew up my
phone after one date.
I even yelled at him
earlier about it.
Yep, he does that.
You're not mad?
How can I be mad?
You literally just took
on a girl with a gun
to clear my good name.
I think you are fine.
God, tomorrow's gonna suck.
I know.
I don't want to think about it.
I know, same.
You really consider
us to be friends?
Of course.
Good.
'Cause I consider you
to be my friend too.
Really?
Of course.
Do you want to
crash at mine tonight?
I don't really want to be alone.
Yeah.
Just give me a moment.
(gentle music)
It gets so lonely
in this house
I get so tired of
the whole thing
Still I want to live
to see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
It gets so lonely
in this house
I get so tired of
the whole thing
Still I want to live
to see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
I want to live to
see another spring
