Breaking Girl Code (2023) Movie Script

1
Thanks for
inviting me out last night,
but do you know how I got home?
I'm kind of freaking out
cause I woke up with bruises.
What happened?
Hi, you must be Miranda.
Okay, this way.
Have a seat.
- Sure.
- Mh-hmm.
Mmm.
I see you interned with Harper
Collins and Random House.
Yeah, I wanted to get some
professional experience.
So I spent two
summers in New York.
And how did you enjoy it?
Oh, I loved it.
I learned so much, and of
course, the city is amazing.
That's very proactive.
Normally when we get an
applicant with a degree like
yours, it's because they're
not ready for real work.
Oh, you know it took a lot of
work to get those degrees,
but I completely understand
your concern
and can assure you
that I am ready
to do some real work
in the real world.
Love that, and if I call you
your references in New York,
what do you
think they'll tell me?
Well, they wanted to hire me,
so I think they would
have great things to say.
They offered you a job.
Yes, they did.
It would've been in
New York though,
so it wasn't the
best fit for me.
But you just said you loved it t
Yes I-I did.
Yeah, I wanted to be close
to my boyfriend though.
Let me give you
some advice Andi.
You see that Gloria
Steinem quote on the wall?
Boyfriends come and go.
You are a very bright
young woman,
and the best thing you can do
at this stage of your career
is to surround yourself with
other bright young women.
Good luck.
You know, Gloria
Steinem didn't say that.
They just used
these little quotes
to sell T-shirts and posters.
Hey.
How did it go?
Uh, not great.
They asked about
the job in New York,
and when I told
them I couldn't take it,
they kind of wrote me off.
I'm sorry to hear that
Andi, how are you feeling?
Uh, you know,
nothing a little Netflix
and dinner won't help
fix, care to join me?
I wish I could, but I
have to work tonight.
Again?
Rookies get the worst shifts.
You know, that just
kind of makes me wish
that we would've
gotten a place together,
at least we could see each
other before you go to work.
Yeah, but then you miss out
on having your
own place in the city.
The appeal of that
kind of went away
whenever I got
into the job search.
Maybe it's good we held off.
I mean, I'd have to start
putting the toilet seat down.
You'd have to stop singing
Adele in the shower.
Oh, why would we want that?
I'm a great singer.
Oh, of course you are honey.
I guess just have a
good day and be safe.
Why don't you reach
out to Zoe and Jane?
They're out here
too, aren't they?
Yeah, I'll reach out to them.
I mean, you shouldn't
have to be alone
just because my hours are crazy.
No, I mean,
I have other friends.
Yeah, your books don't count.
You know what?
You are so funny, bye.
This doesn't feel sad at all.
What's this?
Just like a dating app,
find friends,
make connections, and build
valuable relationships.
About yourself.
Um, okay, recent grad,
new to the city.
I'm looking for, I guess,
friends who like volleyball,
Lizzo and Edith Wharton.
I need something else.
Oh! Let's grab a rose.
Uh, no, this is kinda corny.
Let's see.
Okay, is it Halloween?
No.
Uh, no.
New to the city
looking for new friends.
Unbelievable.
Wow.
Yeah.
Cute names, right?
Gotta love a good pun,
I'm Farrah.
Andi, hi.
You seem anxious, are you okay?
I guess I'm just a
little nervous.
I've never met anyone
from an app before.
There's no need to be nervous.
I meet women on
here all the time.
Really?
Yeah, it's actually really fun
once you get past
the boring stuff,
you know? How long have
you been in Boston?
What do you do?
Got it.
So the boring stuff, right?
Um, okay, okay, I moved to
Boston like three months ago,
and I guess I'm
just still looking
for that first
job out of college.
I've been there.
Oh, you're a transplant?
No, I actually have lived
in Boston my whole life.
Thank you.
Um, but I totally remember how
hard it was to get started.
Do you have friends or family
here that you can stay with?
Um, I mean, I have my boyfriend.
We barely see each other though,
because he works so much.
And I guess if I had any friends
I wouldn't be on the app.
I get it, my boyfriend also
has a super demanding job.
It makes me appreciate the
time we do have together, so.
Yeah, and it allows
time for friends.
Which I would think
since you're from here,
you probably have a lot of
friends from high school.
Yeah, yeah, I know a few, um.
I was kind of a
nerd in high school.
Well, you know me too.
Really?
Okay, what's your
favorite classic?
Oh, "I Know Why
the Caged Bird Sings".
Solid.
Thank you, how about you?
Frankenstein.
Okay, your favorite
mystery writer?
Daphne du Maurier.
Favorite Bronte.
You're gonna
make me pick just one?
Okay, you can have two.
But only if we agree that
Jane Eyre is way overrated.
Oh, no worries because
it totally is.
Good.
So dumb, so basic.
Yeah basic.
Speaking of basic,
there's something I really
have to show you after this.
All, right.
Fun and basic.
So according to the
Boston Historical Society,
Sylvia Plath used to write here.
What, really? How crazy.
Okay, so this is the basic thing
So cute, right?
Kinda love it.
Do you think you
can get a picture of me?
Oh yeah, let me use my phone.
I'll send it to you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Smile, oh my gosh, so cute.
Did you wanna get in?
Oh, I'm sorry, is is that dorky?
No, no, no, I definitely do.
Smile.
Wait, that is so cute.
It is, this was so much fun.
We should do it again sometime.
Yes, wait, okay.
So I'm meeting some friends
for drinks on Friday.
Do you have plans?
I don't, so I can
totally make it.
Okay, great.
I'll text you the details.
Okay, well see you Friday.
- See you Friday.
- Sure.
Bye, I'll text you.
You know, you just gotta
be in the know, like Farrah
told me about the
store on the west side
that has a conveyor
belt bookshelf.
How does that work?
I don't know, but,
it sounds cool.
Sounds like you met
your perfect match.
Oh, well I wouldn't say that.
Oh.
- Gotcha, okay.
- Thank you..
So where are you going tonight?
Some bar, I don't
remember the name.
It's like on the river above,
I don't know, Pool Hall
or something.
Oh. Oh, you mean The Break?
Yeah.
Have you been there?
Oh, no, no, I just heard that
to get up into the club
you need a password, now are
you sure Farrah can get you in?
Are you doubting my BFF.
No, no, I'm just saying
that as a local guy,
I'm a little skeptical.
Well, maybe that local girl
has better connections than you.
Oh, you want a bet on it?
You know, I do.
And if I win, I would like,
you know a real drink
at a real restaurant on
a real date with you.
Deal.
Everything okay?
Hey, I promise you,
a few months from now,
you'll be happier than
what you are now, okay.
Also, you're going out tonight
and you're going to
have a great time.
Okay?
I have friends.
You do.
Andi, you made it.
- Hey.
- Nice to meet you.
- Welcome.
- You know what?
Why don't I get
the first round of drinks?
- Oh no.
- Oh, that's sweet.
I'll get it for you.
This is the secret password bar.
Hi.
What can I get for you?
Evening Breeze for five.
No problem, it'll be right down.
What's an evening breeze?
It's not a drink.
We're here.
Kayla, do you still
wanna dip out early?
This is the bar I
was telling you about.
Yeah, how'd you
hear about this place?
Well, my boyfriend
and his coworkers
go to the coolest places
and he tells me about them.
Uh, will Ethan be
joining us tonight?
Yes, and he's
bringing by some friends.
He'll be here in a
few minutes, probably.
Actually, this is him.
Get comfortable.
Oh, I love your earrings.
Oh, thank you.
I got them at the flea
market in New Orleans.
Are you from NOLA?
No, but I did live
there for a year,
after college I decided to
move to a new place every year.
And so far I've done
Portland, New Orleans,
and I just got here
from Santa Fe.
Oh Santa's awesome.
I was there for a tour
and I absolutely loved it.
Ooh, what kind of tour?
Oh, I'm my dancer.
I was on tour with Ariana Grande
Wait, seriously,
what was she like?
I mean, she was my boss's boss,
so I didn't really get to talk t
but the tour was great.
- Good.
- Still kind of fancy.
Yeah.
Kayla, right, how do
you know Farrah?
I just met her tonight.
Really?
She messaged me and
invited me out for a drink.
Yeah, that's how I
met her as well.
Yeah, me too.
I mean, I guess
she wasn't joking
when she said it's a
great way to meet people.
Oh, yeah, I've been enjoying it.
I've been out with Farrah a
couple times and she's sweet.
Oh, and her boyfriend's posse
is great for the Tinder diet.
Tinder diet?
Yeah, where you go out with
a guy for a free meal.
- What?
- Yeah.
You don't think that's
like taking advantage?
Yes, okay, which is why I
only do it with gross guys.
You know the type,
the one that's,
they say they're
looking for a confident,
sexy girl who takes
care of her body.
Yes, exactly.
- So F Boy.
- Exactly.
All right, all right.
Listen, okay.
They only message me
because they like my body.
I only respond to them because
I'm broke and I like to eat.
I'm with it.
So, so, do you think that
Farrah's boyfriend is?
Mm-hmm. Him and
each of his friends, okay.
They're all big shots at
different firms around the city,
and they think that
that makes them hot sh...
They just walked in.
Mm-hmm.
I told you.
Is this like a hookup
or we like blind date?
No, oh, no, no, no.
Okay. I just wanna make sure,
I have a boyfriend, so.
Oh my God.
Miranda, you remember Ethan?
- Yes. Hello.
- And this is Kayla.
This is Holly and this is Andi.
It's great to meet you all.
I'll introduce my
friends in a second,
but let me get everyone
around her drinks first.
Oh no, you don't
have to buy everybody...
Don't worry about it.
I'm friends with the owner,
so whatever you want.
Order it to my tab.
Oh, well that's pretty sweet.
And I'll go talk to the DJ
and get him to turn
on my favorite song.
Can you do that?
Tonight, we can do
whatever we want.
Okay.
Four shots, please.
- Oh.
- Make it five.
Make it six.
I like her.
We like to party every day
Party party every day
We like to party every day
Party party every day
Party every day
Party party every day
We like to party every day
Party party every day
Have you seen Farrah?
Man, she's been stuck to
his side since we got here.
Oh, well maybe it's love.
Farrah, Farrah come dance.
I need water.
Party every day
Party party every day
Who's that?
To your right. Yeah,
I think he's checking you out.
Boyfriend.
Hey, it's Andi, right?
Yeah, Jason?
Good memory.
Yeah.
Are you enjoying the club?
Ethan said you just moved to the
big city from a small town.
That's cute.
Yeah, but I've lived in
other big cities before.
- I've lived in New York.
- Wow. Globe trotter.
I guess.
Are you a model?
No, I'm trying to get a job
in publishing, actually.
Oh, you're kidding.
I would've thought
you were a model.
I've gone out with a few.
Okay.
You just had that look, you know
gorgeous and exotic.
Yeah, you wanna get out of here?
Thanks.
Oh, can you get off of me?
I have a boyfriend.
But he doesn't have to know.
Okay, seriously, stop.
- Oh. Wow.
- You okay?
Yeah, that was,
I should probably go.
You sure?
Yeah.
Hey, I'm gonna head out.
Wait, really why?
Yeah, we can't convince you
to stay for one more drink.
No, I have a early morning,
and honestly,
Jason kind of touched me
and it just ruined the mood.
Jason touched you.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, he can be
a moron when he drinks.
Well, if you can just make sure
he doesn't do it again
and keep an eye on him.
Yeah, we'll take care of it.
See ya.
- Get home safe.
- Wonderful meeting you.
- You too.
- Goodnight.
What's her name again?
Andi.
I like her, she's feisty.
Where were we?
Hey, Andi, I know
you can hear me.
What, you don't
wanna talk to me?
Free drink?
It's top shelf.
Trust me, you're gonna
wanna try this.
One drink.
That's all I need.
Evening officer.
Yeah, it's morning.
Yeah, but you haven't
been to sleep yet.
So I figured I would
bring you dessert.
Come on, they were in the
air for like 20 minutes.
Oh, that's really
not fair, come on.
Missed you.
Were you sleeping?
Yeah, yeah.
How was the other night?
In the club?
Yeah.
It was great.
You know, they had these
lights that would blink on
and off, like to the
sound of the music.
It was kind of extra,
but I liked it.
I enjoyed it.
And Farrah's friends were cool.
They were, um,
they were really nice.
But the club, I think
you would really like it.
We should go together sometime.
I mean, not anytime soon.
I know you're really busy.
Just, you know
whenever you have a chance.
Yeah, well, um.
Hey, listen.
I think we should
spend time apart.
Er, um, what?
It's just, my schedule's
going to be awful
over the next few months.
I'm trying to squeeze in time
together with my crazy hours.
It's just, it's really hard.
I mean, it's hard, but we
knew that that would happen.
We knew that before
I moved here, Sean.
Okay but your
schedule is temporary.
And then I'm gonna
have a job too.
Because it's gonna get easier
when you start
working too, right?
How long have you
been thinking this?
Maybe a month.
Oh, since I moved here.
Look, I thought it would
be great to have you here
and we could work
towards something,
but it just seems like it's
just more distance between us
and we're both stressed
and overwhelmed, right.
And, and even...
No, if you just wanna
break up, you can say it.
That's not, that's what I want.
No, you do, you wanna
break up, but you're just,
you're too afraid to do it.
Hey.
Hi, just checking
in to see if you're okay
after last night, what Jason
did really wasn't cool.
Andi, what's wrong?
Do you just, you think
we could meet up?
I could really use
a friend right now.
No like, I know I shoudn't,
I shouldn't feel this way.
Like, just overwhelmed.
I just, I feel like
such an idiot.
Like I'm in a city I don't
know, with no job, no family,
no friends, and now no Sean.
And this is nobody's
fault but my own.
No, okay.
Give Sean some credit, okay.
You're in this mess
because he made plans and
then backed out of them.
No, but I should
have known better.
I decided to stop everything
for a relationship.
You made a big gesture for Sean
because you care about
him, that's so generous.
That's not something you
should beat yourself up over.
That's something he should be
ashamed for not recognizing.
Do you need to get that?
Oh.
No.
You know, thank you Farrah
for being there for me.
And I know we haven't
known each other very long,
but I appreciate you stepping
up and showing up for me.
Really, anytime.
Shannon, Shannon Waters.
I'm sorry, I don't.
Farrah, Farrah Priestly.
We went to high school together.
Oh, right, hi.
Um, this is my friend Andi.
Obviously not from high school.
So how have you been?
Good, yeah.
Same, me too.
Just been working and enjoying
the city, you know, it's nice.
I gotta go.
Okay, um,
it was so good seeing you.
Yeah, you haven't changed a bit.
And so you two
were tight in high school.
Please don't laugh.
Farrah, I would
never laugh at you,
besides, she seems
like a real jerk.
Um, yeah, you're right, um.
Sorry, seeing her just
kind of like takes me back
to a dark time.
I didn't really
have a lot of friends
and I didn't really know
how to talk to people.
I would just hide
behind my books.
Try not to be so invisible.
Oh, I-I get that.
But you're not in
that place anymore.
Okay, look at you.
You know you're
not alone now, right?
Yeah, it all changed
when I met Ethan.
When I'm with him, I just,
I really feel like
I matter to someone.
You know, this might be
newly single Andi talking,
but does Ethan always act the
way he did the other night?
What do you mean?
You know, he just seemed
like he was hovering
over you the whole time.
Yeah, I think that's just
how he shows affection.
Oh yeah, I'm probably
just overthinking things.
I should actually
get myself cleaned up
and then maybe
we'll go for a walk.
Yeah, yeah, I'd
really like that.
Woo!
Hey love.
Hey babe, we're
going to Pinnacle tonight.
I need you to bring Miranda
and the feisty girl.
Um, okay, I'll try to get them.
But I haven't heard
from Andi today.
You didn't text her?
Come on Farrah, you promised
to help me with this,
I'm counting on you.
I know, I'm sorry, Ethan
I just thought since,
you know what happened
with Jason last time,
that maybe we forget Andi.
Mmm, nah, the boys liked her.
They want another shot.
Ethan, I don't...
Farrah, don't go against me.
Okay.
Don't let me down.
I am so happy that
I came out tonight.
- Really? Good, good.
- Yes.
Yay, and Miranda's
gonna be here soon.
- Oh that'll be fun. Yay.
- Yes, yes.
And Ethan said he is gonna
stop by with some friends,
if that's cool?
And by friends.
No, not Jason, I promise.
- He promised me.
- Uh-oh.
What did I promise?
Nothing.
Hi, baby.
Andi.
Hi, I'm Marco.
Hey, I'm Andi.
I was gonna get a drink,
can I get you one too?
Sure, why not?
I'll take a scotch, neat.
And for the lady?
I'll just do a seltzer
there with lemon and lime.
I can order you a real drink.
No, no, I'm okay
with just the seltzer.
I uh, I thought you were here
to have fun tonight.
Didn't you just
break up with someone?
How do you know that?
Ethan had mentioned it.
He wanted to make sure the
guys treated you right tonight.
So, do you normally run a
little wild after a breakup?
What?
No, I will probably be
by myself for a while.
Where's the fun in that?
You like to play hard to get, hu
No, I'm not playing.
Excuse me.
You okay?
Um, yeah, thanks.
You came with Farrah, right?
Sorry, I'll leave you alone.
You work with Ethan, right?
Yeah, I'm Charlie.
Andi. You're welcome
to hang out,
but I don't know if I'll
be a good company tonight.
Neither can I,
I was dumped recently.
Same.
But I guess you
already know that.
Well, Ethan, he has a way of
knowing everyone's business.
I mean, convinced me to come
out tonight with everyone,
get back on the horse,
that kind of thing.
But I don't know if this
is really my kind of scene.
So why did you come out?
I mean, I was just promoted,
so I still have something
to prove to these guys.
And it'd be stupid to turn
down an invite from Ethan.
I mean, he's a
legend at our firm.
He started this club, right?
It's exclusive to people
at the top of their field.
I mean financiers,
lawyers, entrepreneurs.
Everyone with him is on
track to be a millionaire
by like 35, I mean, if they're
not already there, right?
Invite from Ethan
is an admission
to the most powerful
networking club in the state.
Let me guess, the club
is boys only, right?
Refreshing.
You know, I would give an excuse
or explanation for that,
but I'm guessing you'd
shoot it down, right?
Accurate, yes.
All right, fair enough.
Fair enough, uh.
You know, for what it's
worth, I think it's messed up.
And yet you joined.
Yeah, the club opens doors.
I don't come for money, right?
So I'm just doing what
I have to for my career.
No, I get it, you know.
You had no choice, poor you.
All right, all right,
well, tell me this,
if a club like this could
get you your next job,
would you join?
Shut up.
That's not a no.
Not a yes.
You know I'm right.
- I mean, millionaire by 30, 35.
- Right?
Maybe.
I don't know, I texted her.
She said she was coming.
You texted Kayla.
We were done with her.
You could go to another bar.
Too late.
Fix this, don't make a scene.
Okay?
Hey Kayla, how are you?
You deleted me.
What?
I told you what he did,
and you ghosted me.
You wanna talk
outside, it's quieter.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
Why haven't you answered me?
I just thought it'd be
better if I stayed out of it.
How is that better?
Jason assaulted me.
Are you sure?
I saw you two leave
together, you seemed happy.
You think I was happy
when he did this?
Did you know
what a creep he was?
What is wrong with you?
How could you do that?
Hey, hey, hey.
It's time for you to go.
Not until I get your friend's
full name and phone number.
You can give it to me or you
can give it to the police.
Or I could send
these to your boss.
There's plenty to pick from,
but I think this one's your
best angle and it doesn't look
like you're being
forced does it?
Leave now, you'll
never hear from us again
and these photos
won't go anywhere.
You've done this
before, haven't you?
I'll see you around.
I may have to leave early.
You have photos of her?
It's just insurance,
don't worry about it.
How long have you done...
I said, don't worry about it.
It's just photos, right?
You don't do anything
else to scare them.
If I do, it's because you
couldn't keep them away.
This was your screw up
and now I'm the
one who has to fix it.
I don't know how I can
count on you Farrah.
Hey, so what do you think
we ditched this place?
You know, I'm feeling like I'd
have more fun at my apartment
with some pizza,
we call Holly, Miranda and
maybe watch Love Island.
Maybe Selling Sunset.
Yes, yes.
Um, but I'll need to borrow
your Netflix password
'cause I just don't
feel right using Sean's.
- Yeah.
- I can't see logging back in.
Hey, come on.
So, I made him split
the bean salad with me.
You are an evil genius.
Right?
Weaponizing IBS to get
out of a date is poetic.
Thank you.
I guess we're lucky
you didn't have
any Tinder diet plans tonight.
Oh, I did, but I canceled.
Wait, wait, you
canceled your for us?
Yes, I guess I'd rather
hang out with you.
Don't make a big deal out of it.
- Shut up. Shut up.
- But it is a big deal.
You know what
else is a big deal?
Have you been out
on her fire escape?
Kind of fabulous,
you must see it.
Really? Oh!
Oh my gosh, they're gonna
be out there forever
- just taking selfies, so classic
- Yeah.
I ate so much.
It's so good though.
I know.
Okay, now he was mean to you,
you don't have to
rush to text him back.
I know, but he just doesn't
like being embarrassed
in front of his friends.
You know, I get that you guys
have been together
for a long time
and that he's nice to
you some of the time.
But that doesn't mean
that you owe him anything.
Some of the time it's
better than nothing.
You can't really think that.
No one's ever kept me around.
Not friends, not boyfriends.
And when I met Ethan, our
relationship was like a dream.
He made me feel
like I meant something
while everyone else
wrote me off.
Okay, but just because
everyone else didn't see it
doesn't mean that it's not there
You're an amazing person
and a good person.
You deserve the best.
Not him tonight.
Pizza.
It's stunning.
- So lucky.
- No, there's only one bite.
No, no, no.
I was gonna eat the last one.
Oh you were were you?
It's my house.
Congratulations again.
What?
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Sorry, I got a job.
- You got a job?
- I got a job.
We're at the scene of
an evening hit and run
that has left a local grad
student in critical condition.
22-year-old Kayla Grayson
was struck by a vehicle
on her way home.
Any witnesses to the
accident are encouraged
to call the Boston
Police tip line.
Andi, hey.
- Hey.
- What brings you here?
I just got a job with
Athena Publishing upstairs.
Do you work in this building?
Yeah, our firm is
on the top floor.
Should come up
and visit sometime
if you wanna see the
view from the top.
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.
Can you hold that?
Jason, good morning.
Shannon, did you read my report?
I did, your assistant
did good work.
Should give her a raise.
Congratulations on the new gig.
You should come out with us
this weekend to celebrate.
I already have plans,
but thank you.
Hey, you know that guy?
No, not really.
He's in some club with
Farrah's boyfriend,
so I see him from time to time.
Oh, you were in the cafe,
Andi, right?
Yeah, right.
So Farrah, Farrah Priestley
is Ethan's girlfriend.
Yeah.
Wow, that sad, stupid girl.
Don't you have to
be on the top floor?
Here, take this.
If anything weird happens
when you're out with
Ethan, give me a call.
After hearing what you have
to say about my friend,
I doubt I'll have
anything to say to you.
Andi, tell us
about your first week.
Oh my God, guys, this
publisher is amazing.
Like they represent all of
these just cool, diverse voices.
And they have me working on a
campaign for romance series.
- Okay.
- Amazing.
That's amazing.
Oh, that's so great.
It sounds like you got exactly
what you were looking for.
I think I did.
Oh, speaking of living my dream.
I got a call back for
another tour tomorrow.
- Cheers.
- Yes, cheers to that.
To you too.
Yes, oh my gosh, that's amazing.
Uh, not to be a downer,
but did you guys hear that
Kayla was in a car accident?
Yeah.
What, when?
Apparently sometime
this weekend.
I heard about it on Monday.
Yeah.
Is she okay?
No, apparently she's in a coma.
Farrah, you invited, Ethan?
No, I just told him
we were going out.
I heard we were
celebrating, congrats Andi.
- Thanks.
- Hi baby.
Hi.
I thought you're
going out with boys.
It's not really a night out
without you and the girls.
What do you guys
say to another round?
Let's liven this party up.
Now it's a party.
Thank you.
Right, everybody grab a drink.
Cheers to Miranda and Andi.
Cheers.
- Congrats guys.
- Have a good night.
All right guys, this isn't
how we enjoy Friday night.
Come on ladies, let's dance.
Okay.
Okay, oh my gosh.
I think I'm gonna come back.
Oh, loosen up Andi,
tonight's for you.
You want to enjoy it, right?
How is tonight for me?
I'm sorry I'm
a little off tonight.
I kind of saw Shannon
downstairs, messed with me.
Shannon?
Yeah, I kind of think she's
trying to get up here.
I just like, don't
want any trouble.
Okay, well maybe I'll go
downstairs and just
- check it out.
- Are you sure?
I can do it.
No, I don't think
you should have to deal
with two bullies tonight.
I'll take care of it.
Get her to loosen up will you?
Okay.
There's club regulars,
Ethan and Farrah,
if you hear or see anything
fishy, can you let me know?
Hey, hey.
What are you up to?
The other day you couldn't
be bothered with Farrah
and now you're asking
everyone about her and Ethan.
What do you know
about Ethan's club?
It's something of a
myth at our firm,
Ethan invites these
high power guys
from different industries
out every week
with promises of VIP clubs,
free booze, and a string
of hotties to drool over.
I thought they were just
rumors until a few weeks ago.
My friend Jessica, she went
out with a group of guys
and woke up the next day
covered in bruises without
any idea how she got them.
And she thinks someone
from the club did it?
Can't prove it, but yeah,
this email was sent the
day after Jessica was hurt,
Jason's assistant
was leaving the firm
and forwarded it to me.
Look at what Ethan wrote.
Flowers on ribs and back.
Okay, I don't,
what does that mean?
Jessica has a lily
tattooed on her rib
and a daisy on her lower back.
Did she go to the police?
I couldn't get
Jessica to report it.
She'd been assaulted before
and the first one was,
it was a lot of trauma
without much of a result.
She didn't wanna
go through that again.
But I know Ethan is behind this.
I wouldn't put it
past these guys,
but you have to
have something else
besides this email, right?
Jessica was invited
out that night
by a friend she
made on the Be Friends app.
Her name was Farrah.
Never would've thought
it was the Farrah
I knew from high school
but small world, I guess.
Yeah, I need to talk to Farrah.
Are you serious?
After everything
I just told you.
Yeah, I
Farrah, can we
talk to you for a sec?
Yeah, what's up?
Do you see what's going on?
Yeah, everyone's
just having fun.
They're just dancing.
Fun, do you know
somebody named Jessica?
I just wanna go dance,
come on, come with me.
No, I don't wanna dance.
Who are these guys, why
are they always around?
They're just Ethan's
friends, okay.
They just come because
they're friends, it's okay.
They're just here, trust me.
Just give them a chance, okay?
Just come dance, it's okay.
No, it's not fine.
Holly, Holly, you okay?
No, I feel really sick.
Okay then come on,
let's get out of here.
Okay, come on, get your stuff.
Elevator's here, right?
I can actually, I can
help get Miranda home.
It's okay. I live really close
and offered to
let her crash on my couch.
Oh, well you know what?
I don't think any of us should
be driving alone or anything.
Maybe we could all ride with
you and go back to your place
for a fun time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe one more drink,
would you mind getting me
one more drink.
Do you mind just taking
over for me for a second?
Hang on with Andi
for a second, okay?
I'm gonna be right back.
Okay, we'll be here.
Come on, somewhere quiet.
No, wait!
Oh god, please let
there be a lyft right now.
Did one of you give
Marco my number?
He just texted me
saying this isn't over.
All right, come on.
Come on, let's go.
Okay, take my shoulder.
I'm gonna throw up.
Okay, let's just
make it outta here.
How you feeling?
Morning.
God, how late
were we out last night?
Um, we got in about 12:30.
Thanks for letting us stay.
We must have had a lot to drink.
Do you remember
anything from last night?
Either of you?
We didn't drink that much.
We had the one drink
at the cocktail place
and then another at the club.
Then why did we black out?
Look, there's an urgent care
about three blocks away.
Okay, we can find out if
somebody spiked your drinks.
I have to get home.
Holly, do you
wanna split an Uber?
No, we should get
you to the hospital
and get you checked out.
I can't Andi, my callback
is this afternoon.
I need to shower and
change and get downtown.
Okay, listen, I know
it's a really big
opportunity for you,
but we should find out
if something happened.
All I know is I got away
safely and thank you for that.
But I'm not like you, I
don't work in marketing.
I'm a dancer.
I can't afford a hospital bill
just to find out
if I was drugged.
So I'd rather just land
this job, leave town.
Never see those guys again.
Okay, but those guys
could do this again
to somebody else.
Kayla, does anybody know why
she just stopped coming around?
My ride is almost here.
Miranda.
You're free to come if you want.
Thanks Andi, you take
care of yourself, okay?
Hey, can we meet?
Yeah, I just, I need you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Good to see you.
Of course, yeah.
Should we?
Oh yeah.
Sorry, here, I got you.
Have any of them contacted you?
Not since Marco threatened me.
You know,
is there anything you could do?
I can give my CO a heads up,
but at this point I don't
think anything will come of it.
What do you mean,
they drugged women,
that's a whole crime.
Yeah, and to press charges,
we would need Miranda
and Holly to report it.
Get blood work and prove
that they were drugged.
But even if they do guys
like Ethan lawyer up fast
and I don't have to tell you
like it's gonna be hard to
make these charges stick.
Okay, and then putting
Kayla in the hospital.
She'd have to identify
the driver who hit her.
But if she is in the ICU,
there's a good chance
that she won't remember
the accident when she wakes up.
I mean like for
crying out loud, Sean,
you could, you
could follow them.
You know,
it's just a matter of time
before they do
this to someone else
and you could be right there.
Cops can't watch everyone,
we know it'll be dangerous.
We can only respond to a
crime after it's committed.
Okay?
So they get to just keep
assaulting women unchecked.
Until one of the women
come forward, yeah.
You know, you make it seem
like it's the women's fault
that this continues to happen.
That's not, that's
not what I meant.
I'm just saying it's not your
job to stop these guys, okay.
Maybe it's better if
you step away from them.
Like Miranda said.
How do you suggest I do that?
They work in my building.
Well maybe that
could be good for you.
You can notify building security
and they can keep a watch
out for anything untoward.
Did you just say untoward?
It's in my textbook.
Look at you.
Ha.
You know, actually,
I do think there's
someone at the office
who can help me with this.
I'm gonna ask her.
In the meantime,
hopefully nothing too
untoward happens.
Shannon, I need to talk to
you about Ethan and Farrah.
Okay, let's go this way.
Wait, isn't your
office this way?
I'd rather Ethan not overhear
that we're talking
about him, wouldn't you?
Right, right, right.
Okay, what's going on?
We've gotta get Ethan.
So we've gotta get to the police
with some concrete evidence.
We need someone who's been
drugged to come forward.
I was thinking,
if you'd be willing to
go out with him again.
What and risk getting
date raped, are you crazy?
I have a friend in the club
who could watch your back.
Who?
Charlie.
He used to work for me before
his promotion and when Ethan
gave him the invite, he
agreed to tell me what he saw.
Yeah, like no offense to Charlie
but he was at the
club the other night
when I almost
got date raped myself.
Okay, then our other
option is to watch them
and see if we can
catch them in the act.
Provided they don't catch
a spying on them first.
What if we can report them
for carrying an
illegal substance?
Rohypnol is illegal and Ethan
probably keeps it at work.
It always seems like he's going
to the club straight from work.
So if they find it here,
that could work.
It could, I guess I
can check his office.
Yeah, and then I can have
Farrah check his apartment.
She's already working with them.
Why would she change teams?
Because they
treat her like trash.
If you tell Farrah what
we're trying to do,
she'll just turn
around and warn him.
Not if we convince
her to take our side.
Farrah has never
had friends, you know?
Have you considered that
maybe if there was someone
in her life ever who
just gave her a chance
and maybe saw her as a person,
that maybe we wouldn't
be in this position.
You know, if we turn Farrah in,
she'll be the one to blame
for the stuff that they did.
She'll have to take
their consequences.
Okay, no, I get that she's
lonely but she's not stupid.
She found you and all the others
and she knew what
would happen to you.
Look, ultimately,
we need Farrah.
Okay, fine.
Give Charlie and me a
few days to look around
and if we don't find anything
then we'll go with your plan.
Thank you.
I still don't think it'll work.
Yeah but Farrah
will appreciate you
for giving her a chance.
Don't be gross.
Are you coming?
I'll wait a few minutes,
I don't want anyone
seeing us together.
Hello?
Hello?
Gave me no details whatsoever.
I don't even understand
what's going on.
They have to make a bigger.
I don't know what
we're supposed to do.
Am I supposed to
send everybody home?
I hope so.
I just.
What?
Security just called,
somebody's been assaulted
in the stairwell.
In this building?
Yeah.
Andi, Andi.
What?
You know her?
Sean, We were just right here,
we were just talking about these
guys and how to catch them.
Sean.
Keep your voice down, you don't
want anybody to hear that.
Want anybody to hear?
I don't want them to hear
the motive for her murder?
If Ethan or any of
the other guys did it
we'll get security footage
to place them here,
but we have to
let the evidence do that.
We don't wanna place you at
the scene of the crime, okay?
If they know I was here, then...
They would create reasonable
doubt and get them off.
Hey, Maya a little
help over here.
Yeah, yeah, be right
there, hey, hey.
Go in there and
talk to your boss.
Tell him you need
to leave, okay?
I'll give you a ride home.
You can look, but don't stare.
At least tell me you
have something planned for Andi.
Obviously, she's
practically begging for it.
Really, Farrah?
Andi, what are you doing here?
I was supposed to meet Shannon.
Oh, um.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, so what are
you doing here?
I think Ethan killed her.
Charlie, Shannon told
me that she said
that she would spy
on them at the club.
They must have told
you what they do,
would killing her so she
would keep it a secret,
would that be so farfetched?
Maybe not, which is why
I don't wanna get
in the middle of it.
And neither should you.
I can't just keep my head down,
I can't look the other way.
Andi, if people are dying,
this isn't the time to be a hero
Oh, forget about being a hero.
It's my life.
Okay, you can maybe get
away and just walk away,
but I can't.
Please Charlie.
Oh, I think he's heading back.
Okay, let me get you outta here.
No, no, no.
I have a couple more
things I have to get.
He can come back any second.
Yeah, so I need
you to go stall him.
Just go out there and
talk to make sure
he doesn't come in here.
Hey Ethan.
Do you have a second?
Sure, let's talk in my office.
Actually, can we talk in mine?
It'll only just take a second.
It's about that self firm
- that I'm visiting right now,
- Right.
They're just worried
about the distribution.
- They wanted to...
- They are?
Well, they just wanted
to set up a meeting.
They're free Thursday
to discuss it.
We work with accounts
five times their size.
Right, but if you
look at these numbers
that we were looking at,
they're pretty close to
what we normally pull in.
Sure, let's make
sure they're comfortable.
They're thinking
of investing more.
Really?
Yeah, like a six figure range.
And maybe bringing
in those other accounts
could help seal the deal.
Thanks for the tip.
The security camera on
the roof was broken.
Apparently we don't have footage
of Shannon going up there, so.
Sean, she was really careful
when we went up there.
Like she didn't want the two
of us to be seen together.
Does this mean that they're
gonna rule it an accident?
Possibly, unless
we find evidence
of motive and opportunity.
Okay, so hypothetically,
if we were to maybe
have some evidence,
like recordings of those
guys assaulting women,
will we be able to
do anything with it?
Even if the women
don't say anything?
Yeah, we would have
to locate the women
and confirm that it
wasn't consensual.
But if there are
recordings of some kind,
yeah, we can investigate them.
And we could get all of them.
I mean, Ethan, Jason, Marco.
And Farrah.
Honestly, she and Ethan
would probably get
the worst punishments.
Would, would there be any way
for Farrah to avoid that?
You know, she might be able
to get a lesser sentence
if she turns in the
guys to cut a deal.
Okay.
And if Farrah was assaulted,
would that make a different?
Would it make a
difference if she was?
Look, I mean, would it
justify what she did?
She's my only
friend right now Sean,
I really don't know how
all this got so messed up.
Hey, for what it's worth,
I'm sorry for the
role I've played in,
putting in you in this position,
but Farrah is not
your only friend.
Thank you for your help.
Yeah.
My gosh.
All these women.
Farrah, we have to stop it,
you and me together.
We can do it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah.
Listen I'm sorry that things
got crazy the other night.
I don't remember much,
but I guess Ethan kind
of hijacked you night.
You know, Holly and Miranda,
they don't remember much either.
I guess we were really
throwing them back.
No, we really weren't.
And I know that
because I stopped drinking
the second Ethan walked in.
You know, you want me to
tell you what happened
or what was supposed to happen?
But my guess is that
you already know.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't
have come here.
No, how many women have
you met on this app?
I don't know.
Whose idea was it?
Was it yours or was it Ethan's?
I have to say it's very crafty.
It's a great way to
disarm women.
It's not like that, okay.
He just has to impress these
guys and asked has for my help.
- That's it.
- No, he runs a date rape club.
No, it's not, they're
just hooking up.
So all these women
that he has all these
indisposed pictures of,
this is just hookups?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
He has pictures
of you too Farrah.
He has pictures of
you and all the women
that you brought to
him to be used.
I'm sorry, okay.
No, Ethan is a predator.
And he used you too.
Okay, he saw how unloved
and how scared you were
and he used that.
Now you can stop him from
doing that to anyone else.
I can't turn him in.
Yes you can.
No, I can't.
If I turn Ethan in,
I'll go down with him.
No you won't because
you're a victim too.
The police will see that.
I don't know, sorry.
Okay look, Farrah, when we
first connected over books,
we didn't read those stories
because the people were perfect.
We connected because
they were real people
who sometimes made mistakes,
but along the way
they made it better.
You can do better.
You can help us put him away.
So he can't do
this to anyone else.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Do you have anything that we
can use to incriminate him?
Ethan gave me an envelope.
He didn't tell me what was
in it and I didn't ask.
But I think it's drugs
he uses on women.
Is it Rohypnol?
I think so.
You know that's a
banned substance.
The fact that he has you hold it
means he'd rather you
get caught than him.
Let's go get it.
My girl.
I put the envelope in my closet.
Okay. So I put it in here.
I'm gonna look upstairs, would
you mind checking in here?
Thanks.
Hey, Farrah.
Would it be in like
some type of zip...
Farrah.
Ethan.
You wanna help her
because she's your friend.
Don't hurt her.
How many times, baby?
How many times
do I have to tell you
not to make this more difficult?
We got a good thing going.
You helped me,
I take care of you.
Who else is going
to do that, her?
Or any of the other
sluts you find online?
Baby.
If any of them
really got to know you,
they wouldn't stick around.
But I will honey, I will
always be there for you.
If you just do what I tell you.
So get up and help me
get Andi to The Break,
she has an admirer
waiting for her
and I'm not in
the mood to be late.
Uh-uh!
It's the phone you sent
my album to, right?
Hey, this it?
Give me a hand.
Help me get Andi to the break.
She's got an admirer
waiting for her
and I'm not in the
mood to be late.
Sorry man.
Stay with her.
Andi, Andi, are you okay?
Andi, come on.
Please be okay.
Okay, I'm gonna get
us out here, okay?
Hey, I'm looking
for my girlfriend.
Have you seen her?
Sorry man, I don't know.
Sorry man, you don't.
Sorry man, okay.
Okay.
Hey bartender, Evening Breeze.
All right.
Evening Breeze.
Leaving so soon?
You're such a spitfire, Farrah.
- Thanks for your help.
- Same.
We'll leave you to it, she
shouldn't be too much trouble.
How about some privacy?
No, you told him.
And I told you
I'd do what I have to.
Shannon trusted you.
She made a bad call.
You're a monster,
you're a monster!
Get away from me!
I guess you do have a spine.
Hey!
Get off of me.
You're not gonna win this Andi.
Stop trying.
Please help me man, this
crazy chick just attacked me.
- Good.
- What?
- Good for her.
- What?
Good for her.
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Hey Andi, nice work
on the proposal.
Thanks man.
Hey.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to tell you in person
that you know, Ethan and
the rest of those guys,
they're being arraigned
on assault and murder.
I was reading the article.
Look, if you want to talk,
you know, my
training basically is over.
I have a few free days now,
so I'm here now if you want.
Only, only if you need.
Yeah, that sounds nice.
I like that.
Cool.
Cool.
Hey, do you wanna
grab lunch now or?
Well now I actually have
plans with my friends.
Oh yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
But next time.
Well, you have my number.
You think so?
Life is far too short,
take the chance.
Fly to Greece, why not?
I know.
What's the hell's going on?
I just trust me, please.
- Why is she here?
- Oh my God.
Hey, Farrah.
I don't think I can do this.
Oh, you can do it.
They'll hate me and
they'll be right too.
Okay, that is Ethan talking.
So come, talk about it and
everybody can heal, okay?
Come on, wait right there.
Um.
I know that this is way
too little too late,
but um...
I'm really sorry for what I did.
I've dated bad guys too.
They treated me badly and
I did mental back flips
to try to convince myself that
it was my fault, not theirs.
It messes with you.
And no one deserves
that, no one.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Ethan told me he was a feminist.
What?
Yeah, I knew then
he couldn't be trusted.
To making them pay for it.
And to Shannon.
There's no tasteful way
to transition out of that.
Nope, there's not.
How are your rehearsals going?
Oh yeah, exhausting.
This is my last day
off for a few months.
But, the numbers
are dope though.
Oh, I know you have some videos.
What, you trying to get me sued?
What we really want is tickets.
Well, dare to dream lady.
I did dream.
Last forever
Let's make it last
'Cause I'm your girl
This is our life
This is our day
This is our moment yeah
Lets make it last forever
Last forever
'Cause I'm your girl
This is our life
