The Wrong Tutor (2019) Movie Script

0
You are so sexy.
No, you are.
How about me and you
go to your room?
Now? But I'm having
too much fun.
Come on. I'll make it
worth your while.
I'll make it worth your while
if you wait.
Whoa.
Okay, you've had too much.
Okay, up we go.
You're good.
I'm so sleepy.
I know, I know.
Just try to get some sleep.
Stay.
I gotta go.
Besides, you wouldn't be
much fun like this anyways.
You can't drive.
I've been drinking water.
I'll be fine.
Recite the alphabet backwards.
I don't think I could do that
completely sober.
Z, Y, X...
W, V, U, T...
S, R, P, O...
No, no, no!
Really?
Hi, Officer.
Mm-hmm.
Have you been drinking
tonight, son?
You wanna hang with me and Brett
tonight at the Bar and Grill?
Heard they got those
video poker machines,
and they never check IDs.
Nah, bro,
I got so much work to do.
You know, you used to be
a lot more fun before your DUI.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Sorry, Eric. I need to pick up
my little brother.
I'll catch you later.
Hey, Eric!
Hey, Eric!
Hey!
Yeah, sorry, Coach.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Good. I want to talk
to you about something.
What's up?
Well, I don't want you to think
that your play's gone unnoticed.
And your leadership too.
Help be an example
to these younger players.
Thanks, Coach
I don't wanna put
any pressure on you,
but you should know that
I've gotten some inquiries.
Inquiries?
College scouts.
Assistant coaches over at State
and Briarcliff.
They check the box scores,
and they've heard good things.
Thanks, Coach.
Keep it up.
I will.
But, Eric...
grades, man, come on.
I know, Coach.
It's just math. It's so hard.
Not saying you need to be
a rocket scientist, all right?
But you need to pass.
If I'm forced
to throw you off the team,
you're not only letting down
me and your teammates,
but you could be blowing a
golden opportunity for yourself.
This isn't
Division One Football.
No college is gonna touch
a soccer player
with academic issues.
Just take care of business.
Yes, sir.
Don't wanna have
this conversation again.
- Yeah.
- Okay?
Go hit those books.
How was practice?
Fine. In fact, Coach said
some college scouts
have been asking about me.
For real?
Yeah, but don't get too excited.
It's not like I'm gonna be
a professional soccer player.
Still, scholarship money.
Yeah, I guess.
I'm so proud of you.
Let's get you home.
- Sure you don't wanna come in?
- Your mom's probably home.
- So?
- Your mom hates me.
She doesn't hate you at all.
She's just protective.
She blames me for what happened.
Okay, well, then I will
see you tomorrow.
I love you.
Bye.
Bye.
Mom?
In the kitchen.
Hey, son.
How was your day?
Not bad.
How was yours?
Fine. Only thing is,
I'm probably gonna be
on the road a lot
the next few months.
We're opening facilities
in Salton Springs and Brunswick.
- Overnights?
- Some.
But mostly long day trips,
so get used to
making your own dinner.
That's okay. I think I can order
pizza just as easily as you can.
Okay, wise guy.
Jess bring you home?
Of course.
Hmm.
Something you want to say, Mom?
What could I
possibly want to say?
Things wouldn't be going so well
for me if it wasn't for Jess.
If it wasn't for Jess,
you wouldn't be in this mess
in the first place.
Come on, Mom. That's not true,
and you know it.
You really want to have
this conversation right now?
What conversation?
The one where you blame Jess
for everything,
even things that were my fault.
It was her fault,
it was her party,
so she is responsible
for what went on.
Oh, come on, Mom.
There are over a hundred parties
at over hundred different houses
over the year.
This one was no different.
This one was different!
And you should know that
better than anyone.
What if you had hurt someone?
What if you had gotten killed?
- None of that even happened.
- But it could have!
And that's my point, son.
And what about me?
Did you ever stop
to think about me?
As a minor,
you are my responsibility.
You hurt, or God forbid,
kill someone, then I get sued.
We could lose everything.
What if your father was here?
What would he have to say?
He'd probably tell you
to leave me the hell alone!
She said she'd be out of town
at least some of the time.
You know what that means?
Sleepovers.
Uh, have you forgotten?
I still have
two very suspicious parents
who are not going
to be out of town.
So what? Just tell them
you're staying at Abby's.
That'll work 'cause they're not
best friends with her parents.
Let me see what you're wearing.
Aren't you supposed
to be studying?
Little study break
never hurt anyone.
Oh, no.
The phone is dying. I think...
Okay, guys. I know
we have a lot to do today.
But first, I want
to hand back your quizzes
because if some of your scores
are any indication
of your comprehension
of that last chapter,
we really need
to review some things.
Can I help you?
Hi. Sorry.
I transferred here
at the beginning of the week,
but they told me
I should be in your class.
Fantastic.
We're happy to have you.
Why don't you come in
and have a seat.
Uh, miss?
Your name?
Oh, um, Emily.
Emily Miller.
Emily Miller, welcome.
Class, Emily Miller.
And this is Intro to Calculus.
Paula, here you go.
Eric.
As I was saying, these
test scores were really low.
We may need to go over
this chapter again.
Anyone needs additional help,
please come see me
during my office hours.
I assume you know
why I want to speak to you.
I know, okay?
I'm doing the best I can.
Then do better.
Look, Eric,
I spoke to Coach Lerner.
In this situation, not either
one of us has any discretion.
It's black or white.
You fail, you're off the team.
It's out of your hands.
I'll pass, Principal Callahan.
I have to.
Look, Eric, I know
that things are not easy.
Now, if this is about
your father pass...
Everything single problem
is because my father's dead.
I just meant
if things are tough at home,
if that's what's going on,
well, then we have
resources available.
Hello.
Oh, hey!
Emily, right?
I'm Eric.
I know.
You're lucky
you just got here today.
That quiz we got back
was killer.
Actually, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
It seems like
you could use some help,
and I can help you.
Help me?
Tutor you.
Calculus is my thing.
Well, I couldn't really pay you.
Oh, no, I couldn't accept money.
You introduce me around
to your friends.
Transferring mid-year,
it's kinda hard to meet people,
especially for me.
Well, I can do that.
So when do we start?
Um, why not right now?
Oh, well, I have
soccer practice right now
and then dinner.
But I could go
to the library tonight.
It's a date.
One other thing:
I sort of don't have
a ride there.
Don't worry.
I'll pick you up.
See you tonight?
Oh, hey!
Don't you need my address?
Are you heading out?
I'm heading to the library.
- Want me to meet you there?
- No, I...
Actually, you wouldn't
believe me if I told you.
Try me.
I'm getting tutored.
Calc is kicking my ass.
Coach even said
something about it to me.
I actually think
that's a great idea.
Yeah, well, my tutor is
some new girl who in the class.
She offered.
Ooh, should I be jealous?
No, you...
Oh, Jess, I gotta go.
Talk to you later?
Yeah, sounds good.
Hi.
Hi.
Wow! Okay, you look nice.
I didn't know what to wear.
The library's pretty informal.
Thanks again for taking me.
I appreciate it.
No car, huh?
Well, I had one.
In the shop?
It's a long story.
Okay, well, the library's
ten minutes away.
I... At the last party
Jess threw,
I had a bit too much to drink.
I thought I was fine to drive.
Turns out I wasn't.
I was driving home.
I guess I was swerving a lot.
Just driving pretty dangerously.
Luckily, a cop pulled me over
before I hurt someone.
But I did lose my license.
In a end, I think it was
a blessing in disguise.
How so?
I mean, I was partying
way too much anyways.
My grades were down.
I was playing like crap.
It was a wake-up call.
So I got my license suspended
and a year of probation.
I try to stay out of trouble
till then, my record's clean.
Your parents
must have been furious.
Yeah, my mom was.
My dad passed away
a few years ago.
And yeah,
she was royally pissed.
She's still holding it
over my head in a way.
I don't have any parents.
Emily, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.
My dad was killed
in a car accident,
but I was too young
to remember him.
So for a while,
it was just my mom and me.
And then she left me for...
She left me.
So now I live
with my grandmother.
But I've never met anyone
who knows what that's like.
But you know.
You know.
So if the input of the function
represents time,
then what does the derivative
represent?
Change?
Right, but in relation to what?
- Time.
- Exactly!
Let me tell you,
I could listen to Mr. Lloyd
go over this for hours
and still not get it right.
I'm sure you would.
It's just that he's forced
to use the Common Core,
which actually makes it harder
to understand.
Or I just think
you're a really good tutor.
Okay, well, let's concentrate.
Emily, I don't know
how to even thank you for this.
Well, let's see how you do
on your next test first.
Better.
That, I can promise.
I have a confession to make.
Oh?
I asked to be transferred
into Lloyd's class.
Okay. Why?
Because of you.
Me?
I saw you at soccer practice.
On my first day.
I think you saw me.
I did.
And then I saw you talking
to your coach about your grades.
You didn't see me,
but I was nearby, and I saw you.
Um, Emily,
there's something
you should know.
I have a girlfriend.
I know.
- You do?
- Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I've seen you guys together.
Plus, a soccer star
who looks like you do,
I assumed
you couldn't be single.
Then...
Thank you again.
I'll see you tomorrow?
Oh! My savior.
Jess, this is Emily,
who I told you about.
Emily, this is Jess.
The girlfriend.
Thank you so much
for helping him.
God knows I couldn't have.
Math isn't really my thing.
Well, school
isn't really my thing.
He knew it all. He just needed
a little moral support.
I don't know if you know,
but seniors are allowed
to leave campus for lunch.
We're heading to Nino's.
It's a pizza shop.
Yeah, yeah, I know that place.
I transferred
from St. Peter's,
and we used to go there
all the time.
Well, if you want to join us...
Oh, no, no, I couldn't.
You guys have fun.
I would just be the third wheel.
It's fine, really.
There'll be
other students there.
I could introduce you.
It's tough meeting people
in the middle of the year.
I've done okay so far.
Jess, we should probably just go
grab a quick bite ourselves.
Okay, whatever.
What's that?
Oh, it's my EpiPen for bees.
Haven't needed to use it yet,
but you never know.
Apparently when I was like
three or something,
I got stung
and blew up like a blimp.
Well, you can never be
too careful.
Yeah! Here's to kicking
South River's butt this weekend!
Whoo!
And here's to getting
some booty after!
Uh-huh!
What's up, dude?
Nothing. Jess.
Where the hell is she?
On her way, apparently.
Dude, you have to try this.
Come on, man.
You know I can't do that.
Come on.
You're not driving or anything.
What are they gonna do,
take away your bicycle?
Ha ha.
Dude, seriously.
You've gotta quit
punishing yourself.
It was no big deal.
You served your time.
You're allowed to have some fun.
Especially before the old
ball and chain gets here.
Hmm. I second that.
Come on. Celebrate.
Uh...
It'll be our little secret.
Okay, gimme that.
All right!
Wait. What is this?
Oh, just my own little
special concoction.
A little grain alcohol,
little bit of this,
little bit of that,
a little more grain alcohol.
You like?
Yeah, I do.
Stay put, hombre.
Let me go and make you one more.
And you come with me.
Screening your calls?
Jess, when did you get here?
I've been calling
and texting you.
Oh, uh,
it's a little loud, Jess.
Milk, I assume?
Relax, will you?
It's one drink.
Look, it's not like
I'm an alcoholic or something.
We're at a party.
I can't drive anyway.
What could happen?
What could happen?
Where have I heard that
before, right?
I don't know where you
could've heard it before
because if I remember, you were
too drunk to hear anything.
I remember telling you to stay.
Yeah, for my own well-being,
I'm sure.
If it makes you feel better
making me feel worse,
then go ahead.
It's one night, Jess.
One night.
Look, we're at a party,
for crying out loud.
Then enjoy yourself, Eric,
but I'm not gonna stand here
and watch you
throw everything away.
Hey, Jess, wanna taste something
that'll make you forget my name?
The hell's up her butt?
Don't worry about it, dude.
I didn't think Tony
would let you out of his sight.
I didn't want to be with Tony.
I wanted to be here with you.
Listening to my problems?
Why not?
I'm a good listener.
That, you are.
It's just that...
at first, I'm this huge
disappointment, you know?
Then I finally get my life
back together,
and everybody starts telling me
that they're depending on me.
It's like, "What the hell?
Can't I just be?"
Ah, screw it.
I'm just drunk.
Maybe.
But losing a parent
or both parents,
it doesn't automatically mean
that you have to live
your life for them.
And a lot of people
don't understand that.
No, they don't.
People suck.
Yeah, they do.
Emily, I-I can't do this.
But you know you want to.
I mean, you're smart
and nice and...
really pretty.
I... I'm just so drunk.
That's why you kissed me?
Because you're drunk?
No, no, of course not.
That's not what I mean.
Emily, I gotta go.
Hey! Was it something I said?
What?
I'm just messing with ya.
It's Emily, right?
- What do you want?
- Hey, chill out.
I sit across the room from you
in calculus,
and I just wanted to say hey.
Great. You've said it.
I gotta go.
Hey, what's the hurry?
There's an empty bedroom
upstairs.
So how about you and I
go work on some calculus, huh?
Tyler was it?
You ever lay a hand on me again,
you are a dead bitch.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
Okay, I'm stupid. I...
I was just having fun
for one time.
Eric...
Come on.
You ready?
Yeah. Hold on a sec.
Okay.
Let's go.
It's just that, well,
what happened at the party...
just that
that can't happen again, Emily.
Yeah, you made that pretty clear
on Saturday.
Look, if there was
no Jess, then...
But there is.
- And she and I share this...
- Look, I get it.
Okay, it's not really
a big deal.
We both probably had a little
too much to drink at the party,
so let's just forget
it even happened, okay?
Yeah.
But this?
Are you still okay with this?
Totally. I mean, I love
hanging out with you,
and if I'm being
completely honest,
I couldn't find a better tutor.
I've gone up a whole
letter grade since we started.
Well, then let's
get back to business.
Hey, it's me, Jess.
You know what to do.
Hey, you're late.
And you're never late.
Love you. Anyway...
Hey, it's me, Jess.
You know what to do.
Hey, it's me again.
Don't know what the hell
happened,
if you forgot or...
I mean,
I hope everything's okay,
but I couldn't wait any longer.
I don't know why
you're not answering your phone,
but if you're just running late,
I'm walking down Elm
and over to Willow.
Bye
Hey, where are you?
Eric, is that you?
It's Jess's mom.
Oh, Mrs. Brand, I'm sorry.
Is everything okay?
Come in. Don't worry.
I won't sting you.
Oh, my God, Jess.
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I used the EpiPen
before I got here,
and now they're just pumping me
full of Benadryl.
What happened?
Your mom said you were stung.
Over a dozen times,
mainly on my arms.
The bees just...
Wasps, honey.
The wasps...
apparently got in the car
during the night.
The doctor who saw me
says it happens all the time.
They stung you in your car?
Yup.
Thank God you were still home.
Thank God. Sweetheart,
I'm going to go join your father
in the cafeteria
for a cup of coffee.
Something tells me
that you two want to be alone.
Mmm. You taste sweet.
Like honey from the bees.
Wasps. You heard my mom.
They don't make honey.
They just sting like 'em.
Well, they picked you
because you're so sweet.
Oh, you're such a goofball.
Knock, knock.
Emily, what are you doing here?
I heard what happened,
and I just had to come by.
How are you?
I'm fine, actually.
All things considered,
it could've been a lot worse.
Emily, how did you hear
about what happened?
I heard some of the girls
talking about it,
but I didn't get any details,
so I just got really worried,
and I had to come by.
I texted Bree and Cami
what happened,
just so they wouldn't worry.
Can I get you anything?
Is there anything I can do?
No, um...
I'm really okay,
but, Emily, it's...
it's really thoughtful
of you to come.
Of course.
It's the least I can do.
I don't know
too many people still,
so any friend of Eric's
is a friend of mine.
Listen, you should probably
be getting some rest,
so I should probably head out.
No, no.
It's really okay.
I'll walk you out.
Feel better.
I'm just gonna go
walk her out real quick.
I'll be right back.
Hey, what the hell
are you doing?
I told you... You're hurting me.
I told you. I heard
what happened, so I had to come.
But why did you come?
I don't really understand
what you're asking me.
I mean, Jess is not your friend.
She's my girlfriend.
I thought I made that clear.
Eric, this isn't about you.
Don't be so self-centered.
Not everything is about you.
That poor girl was just stung
by a bunch of wasps,
and all you can think about
is us?
I'm leaving.
Sorry I'm so late.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Thanks.
Okay.
Now, as we discussed,
Cavalieri's Principle
is used when calculating
the volume of...
Come on, guys.
A sphere.
- Hey, man.
- Yo.
I never got to ask.
How's Jess?
She's okay. They probably
even released her by now.
Yeah. I heard those bees
got to her pretty bad.
That's messed up.
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, well, tell her I said hey.
I will.
Mom, I'm home.
We're in here, honey!
Eric, it seems as if
you've been keeping
a little secret from me.
A "B?"
Honey, I always believed in you,
but I'll admit,
I never expected you to raise
your grade so quickly.
He just needed
some extra practice.
And the right tutor.
I was telling Emily that I would
have loved to met her sooner,
but, you know,
I've been so busy.
We have to get
to the library anyway.
No, no, no, no!
That's just a waste of time.
I've got a business dinner,
so you kids can have the house
to yourselves.
I'll be out of your way
in a jiffy.
She's amazing.
We just had the best talk.
You're so lucky, Eric.
Emily, what are you doing here?
What do you mean?
We have
a tutoring session today.
No, we don't.
And besides,
after everything
that happened today, don't...
Emily, why were you
at the hospital today?
We've been through this, Eric.
I don't understand
what you're so angry about.
You don't understand?
Emily, this morning I find out
my girlfriend has
a life-threatening reaction,
so I show up to the hospital
to see if she's okay,
and suddenly
you show up out of nowhere...
Okay, kids!
Don't study too hard.
You know what they say.
- All work and...
- No play?
Exactly. Eric, I just had
that key made for you,
so if you lose it again,
you're sleeping on the porch.
I lost it once, Mom.
- Once a month.
- It's on the keychain.
I swear, he'd lose his head
if it wasn't attached.
But I love you anyway.
And you?
I won't be late, son.
So... what were you and my mom
talking about?
Oh, I don't know.
You, mainly.
Hmm.
About the right kind of girl
for you.
I can only imagine.
Hey, I'm sensing a little
hostility from you, Eric.
Oh, are you?
Gee, Emily, I wonder why.
I don't know, Eric.
Could it be because I've been
sacrificing my time and energy
to tutor you,
raising your grade so not only
can you stay on the soccer team,
but also remain eligible
for a possible scholarship?
Or could it be because
you came onto me at a party
in a drunken stupor
and then threw me away when you
realized it was a mistake,
and I was still nice enough
to continue to help you?
Or is it because
I actually had the heart
to visit your own girlfriend
in the hospital
after a life-threatening
wasp sting?
How'd you know it was wasps?
You said wasps.
How'd you know that?
Well, it was, wasn't it?
Even this morning
when you showed up,
you said you heard
she got stung by wasps.
That's pretty specific,
don't you think?
Usually, people would
just assume it was bees.
And at school, I asked around.
Yeah, the girls knew
that she was stung,
but they thought it was bees.
That's what Jess told them
because at the time,
that's what Jess thought.
I... I just assumed.
Hmm.
Look, I don't really know
where this is going, Eric,
but if I were you,
I would think long and hard
about what you say to me.
What's that supposed to mean?
Exactly what I said.
Now, if you don't mind, I don't
really wanna help you today.
Maybe not just today.
What?
Maybe this should be it
for us, tutoring.
Look, I appreciate everything
you've done for me, really,
but... I think
this is for the best.
All balls moving all the time!
Let's go! Make it strong!
Look alive!
Let's go!
Hustle, hustle, hustle!
Hustle up! Over here!
Here you go.
Nice!
Oh, Jess. Sorry.
I didn't see you come in.
No kidding.
Can I get you a slice
or a Coke or something?
No, I'm good.
So why'd you want to meet here?
I'm not paranoid, Eric,
and you know I'm not
the jealous girlfriend type,
but...
recently I feel like
you've been different,
like distant ever since
I got out of the hospital.
Did I do something,
and I don't realize it?
No, of course you didn't.
But I'm not imagining it, am I?
Let's go for a ride.
Okay.
Okay, spill it.
The wasps and the bees,
I don't think
that was an accident.
I think it was Emily.
Emily? Why?
I think she has a crush on me.
Of course
she has a crush on you.
What?
You're sweet, you're charming,
you're the star
of the soccer team.
You're not terrible to look at.
She just moved here,
she doesn't have many friends,
and she's been spending
a ton of time tutoring you.
I'm not surprised.
I am, however, surprised
that you're just now
figuring this out.
But lots of people have crushes.
That doesn't explain why
you think she tried to kill me.
Look, last weekend at the party,
after we had that huge argument,
and you left,
I was angry at you.
Angry at myself.
I had been drinking a lot.
She was there.
- Eric...
- Jess, I'm so sorry.
Did you sleep with her?
No! Of course not.
How far?
Come on, Jess.
Don't do this.
How far?
It was just a kiss.
Just a two-second kiss,
and I ended it,
and I told her
it can never happen again.
Look, if you can't forgive me,
I understand.
Of course I can forgive you.
Really?
But that doesn't mean
that I'm not pissed off,
mainly on how you
handled everything.
I know.
I know I screwed up.
Still, you think
she tried to kill me
because the two of you shared
a two-quick-second kiss?
I mean, that seems
a little farfetched.
I know, but then
she showed up to the hospital
almost like she was trying
a little too hard.
And then yesterday,
I come home to find her
at my house,
talking to my mom.
Let me guess.
Your mom loves her.
I mean, she did help me
raise up my grades.
Yeah, and she's not me.
Look the point is,
she knew
you were stung by wasps.
So?
Wasps, not bees.
How would she know that?
So what do we do?
I-I don't know.
Mom, what's wrong?
Nothing, honey. I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
Come on, what happened?
Today.
The date.
You remember what it is?
Oh.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I just...
I just forgot.
No. It's healthy.
You can't go on thinking
about him all the time.
You got to live your life.
How many years
would it have been?
Today would have been
our 20th wedding anniversary.
How about we look at
some old photo albums,
maybe pop one of those DVDs
from the old parties?
Thank you, son.
I think I just need to be alone.
- Love you, Mom.
- I love you too.
- Eric?
- Yeah?
Remember the other day
when I said,
"What would your father think?"
Don't worry about that, Mom.
We were just angry.
I know exactly
what he would have thought.
He would be just as
proud of you as I am.
Night, Mom.
Good night, son.
Emily! What the hell?
What? You were so comfortable.
What are you doing here?
I missed you.
And I know you didn't mean
what you said to me last time.
How did you get in here?
Don't you like what you see?
Come on, Eric,
you don't have to act like this.
We're supposed to be together.
Come on. Let's go!
- You're hurting my arm.
- Shh!
- You'll wake up my mom.
- So?
Eric, no one will be
happier for us than she will.
Come on, you know that.
You know she doesn't like Jess.
She told me so.
And she also told me
that she would love
for you to find someone smart
and kind and caring.
Come on, let's tell her.
Come on, Eric!
It's our destiny.
Eric, is that you?
Uh, yeah.
It's nothing, Mom.
Give me the key.
Emily, give me the key,
or I swear to God,
I will call the cops.
Now get dressed.
And I want my clothes back,
Emily.
- Come on.
- Eric, Eric.
Shh!
Eric...
- Eric, please.
- Goodbye.
Eric, I need to speak with you
for a few minutes.
I'm going to be late to English.
I'm afraid this is
a bit more important.
Somebody wanna tell me
what's going on?
Do you know a student
named Emily Miller?
She recently transferred
to Clearbrook.
Yeah, of course. She's been
tutoring me in calculus.
Ms. Miller has accused you
of sexually harassing her.
She filed a report with her
guidance counselor this morning.
Nobody's saying that you
did this, Eric, nobody.
But in today's climate,
we have to take
each and every one of these
sexual accusations seriously.
Did you harass Ms. Miller
at all?
Even if it's something that
you think was just innocent?
No, of course not!
What did she say I did?
Because of confidentiality,
I'm not able to get into
the specifics of the accusation.
Did you have any contact,
any sexual contact with her
whatsoever?
No. We...
She's just been tutoring me.
Well, Ms. Miller
doesn't want to press
any formal charges against you,
and she claims
that her grandmother,
who's her legal guardian,
she doesn't want that either,
but you're gonna have
to keep away from her.
Just leave her alone.
No more tutoring.
In fact, if I were you,
I would have
no contact with her at all.
That's fine. I don't want
anything to do with her.
Good, because you need to think
about your reputation here.
About the team,
about your future.
If something like this
gets out...
Can I go now, please?
Actually, Ms. Callahan,
you mind if I have
a word alone with Eric?
Sure.
It's just me and you now, bud.
I can help you, but I need you
to tell me the absolute truth.
Coach, I am.
I told you everything.
I didn't touch her.
Emily came to me first.
She showed me her arm,
showed me the bruises.
Bruises? Wha...
No, no, that's from
when she snuck...
When she was in my room...
Coach, can I see the report,
please?
Stays between us?
Yeah.
I'll stay away from her, Coach,
but who's gonna make sure
she does the same to me?
I don't understand why you
didn't explain everything.
Yeah, 'cause I'm sure
they would believed me.
- I would've backed you.
- Just the two of us?
Our word against hers.
Can you imagine?
The jock who's on probation
with a suspended license
is all of a sudden getting
harassed by Little Miss Perfect.
The wasps.
We didn't make that up.
We still don't even know
if that was her, Jess.
Well, we know one thing
for sure.
What's that?
That by breaking into your house
and then going to the principal,
clearly she's messed up,
and this probably isn't
the first time she's done this.
Coach?
- You spoke to Eric, I assume?
- I did.
We took your complaint
very seriously, Miss Miller.
I didn't want him
expelled or anything.
I just wanted to know
that he knew he couldn't
treat me like that.
Because, you know,
he really is a very special guy.
Regardless,
I hope you understand
how serious
these accusations are,
and I have a duty
and a responsibility
to act on them accordingly.
What do you mean,
"act accordingly?"
Exactly what I said.
Look, this day and age,
we all have to err
on the side of caution.
This is a legal matter now,
Miss Miller,
not just an administrative one.
All I said was that he got
a little aggressive.
I didn't say he was
a mass murderer or anything.
I understand that,
but unfortunately,
sometimes good
and decent people,
they can do bad things,
make big mistakes.
And by laying his hands on you,
that's exactly
what Eric did here
Unless...
Unless what?
Unless you're changing
your story.
No, I'm not changing my story.
All right.
Eric won't be bothering you
anymore.
I assume I can say
the same thing about you?
I can't believe
I didn't do this sooner.
You didn't have a reason to.
Yup, that's her, all right.
She looks so normal.
Exactly.
Look at that picture
right there.
Yeah, so?
That guy.
He's in a lot of these photos.
He's wearing a St. Peter's
varsity jacket.
Here.
There we go: Rob O'Shea.
I bet he knows something
about her that we don't.
Probably.
Oh, I gotta get back to school.
I got practice.
Okay, let's go.
- I'll call when I'm finished.
- Will you need a ride later?
No. I'll just get
one of the guys to take me.
What are you about to do?
What do you mean?
Come on, Jess.
I know you way too well.
I can tell when
the wheels are spinning.
Just go. Have a good practice,
and I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Rob? Rob O'Shea?
- Do I know you?
- No. No, you don't.
My name is Jessica Brand.
Jess.
I go to Clearbrook.
You think we could talk
for a few minutes alone?
I'm kinda just
getting out of practice.
It's about Emily Miller.
Emily Miller?
That's a name I was hoping
I'd never hear again.
You're not close with her?
Not close?
That's an understatement.
But the pictures
of you two together
are all over
her social media account.
I wish they weren't.
Did you two date or something?
Uh, I mean,
Emily used to go to St. Peter's.
We were friends.
She liked to hang out
around the soccer team.
I liked her.
She was nice.
Smart.
A lot smarter than me,
that's for sure.
She would always help me with
whatever I needed school-wise.
- And then...
- What happened?
Why don't you first tell me
what this is all about?
It's about my boyfriend.
You have a boyfriend.
I think she's become
infatuated with him.
Well, if that's the case,
he needs to be very careful.
So should you.
Is she dangerous?
After a while, I started to feel
like she wanted something
more than I did,
so I told her we should
cool things down for a bit.
She didn't like that,
so she started to call me
all the time.
And I mean all the time,
showing up at places
where I was,
showing up to my house.
My parents eventually
called the cops.
What'd they do?
They spoke with her,
to her grandmother.
That's who she lived with.
She doesn't have parents?
No, her dad's dead.
She grew up with her mom,
but she took off
with a professional
soccer player.
The police, when they talked
to her, did that help?
I mean, she stopped
bothering me personally.
But for the next couple months,
I kept getting calls
and then hang-ups
from an unknown number.
And I'd see someone walking
by my place a lot at night.
Did you tell the cops?
Of course, but they couldn't
prove it was her,
even if it was obvious.
And after the next
couple months,
I never heard from her again.
She never came back
to St. Peter's.
Well, thanks, Rob.
You have no idea
how much I appreciate this.
Just be careful.
And can I call you sometime?
You know, just in case
I think of something else.
How about you give me
your number, okay?
And if I have
any more questions,
I'll give you a call.
Here. I'll put it
in my contacts.
Thanks, Rob. I'll text you
if I think of anything else.
Hey, see ya.
Yo, it's Eric.
You know what to do.
Hey, it's me.
You're probably
still at practice,
but call me as soon as you can.
You're never gonna guess
who I spoke to.
What's up, Mom?
You wanna explain these to me?
Uh, they look like pills.
Don't be a wise guy.
I'm not.
What do you want me to say?
The truth.
You think they're mine?
They were on your desk.
If they were mine, you think
I'd really be that stupid
to leave them laying on my desk?
What I want to know is
what these are
and how long
have you been using them.
I told you.
They're not mine!
Then whose are they, Eric?
You wouldn't believe me
if I told you,
Try me.
They're Emily's. You know
that girl you met the other day?
She planted them there.
Oh, wow. Really, Eric?
You don't believe me.
You think I'm making this up!
It was Emily who called me
about the drugs.
She's really worried
about you, son.
She's afraid that something bad
is about to happen.
What'd she tell you?
That you've been under
a lot of stress lately
and that you've been using
these drugs to deal with it.
You and Jess.
She says that when she
confronted you about it,
that you said you didn't
want her to tutor you anymore.
That's why she called me.
She manipulating you, Mom.
She's crazy!
Crazy and dangerous.
I don't want you
seeing Jess anymore.
I should have said something
a long time ago.
I don't think you had to.
We both know
exactly how you felt.
And did she tell you
what she tried to do to Jess,
how she tried to kill her?
So now you're telling me
Emily tried to kill Jess.
If you don't believe
your own son,
then at least
stay out of my way.
Eric!
Where have you been?
I've been waiting
for you to call.
Oh, just being called
delusional,
a drug addict,
and a compulsive liar by my mom.
What?
Don't worry about it.
I'll tell you later.
I want to hear about
what you found out.
I have to go to dinner
with my parents tonight.
Can you meet later?
Probably not, but I will.
Nino's at 10?
Yeah. Love you.
Love you too.
Hello, Rob.
Emily.
- Expecting someone else?
- What are you doing here?
Thought that maybe you and I
could have a little talk.
You followed her, didn't you?
- Who?
- You know damn well who.
Jess?
No, Rob, I didn't.
But unfortunately
she won't be coming.
She never...
You sent those texts. Why?
Because I saw you
talking to her,
and I need to know
what you told her.
Why the hell
would I tell you that?
Because, Rob,
you know exactly
what I'm capable of.
Leave me alone, Emily.
You're nuts.
Hey.
Why all the hostility?
I didn't tell her anything.
She just asked
some questions about you.
I told her we used to date
for a little. That's it.
Did you tell her
how much you enjoyed it?
Sorry I'm late.
Dinner took forever.
I didn't want them giving me a
hard time about going out after.
Don't worry. I needed
to get out of the house anyways.
So your mother.
Don't worry about that either.
I'll tell you later.
I wanted to hear
what you found out.
So I went to St. Peter's,
and I spoke to Rob O'Shea.
I knew you were up to something.
I had to. I had to find out
more information about her.
- And?
- And she's done this before.
With him, maybe others even.
It's the same thing, Eric,
the same thing
that she did to you.
He was a star athlete.
She helped him with school,
tutored him.
They hooked up, started dating.
As soon as he said it was over,
she got violent.
- Violent?
- That's what Rob said.
Oh, jeez.
We have to do something.
We have to do something now.
It's one thing for her to lie
and make up false accusations.
Even try to frame me and ruin
everything I've worked for.
But for her to get violent,
it's only a matter of time
before she hurts one of us.
Or worse.
But what can we do?
I mean, everything she's done
that we know she's done,
it's our word against hers.
And unfortunately
to the people who matter,
her word is a lot more reliable.
What about this Rob guy?
He believes us, right?
Of course.
She did the same thing to him,
but what does it matter?
It matters because
everyone that she's close to
knows what she's really like.
I'm not sure what you mean.
We have to hit her
where she's vulnerable.
Close to home.
- Eric.
- Hey, what's up?
You didn't hear?
Hear what?
- About the murder.
- What murder?
It's all over the local news.
Rob O'Shea was murdered
last night in Donaldson Park
around the same time
you and I were together.
Do they have any suspect...
I mean, do they know it was her?
No suspects.
That's what they're saying.
They're treating it
like a robbery
because his wallet
was found near his body.
We have to go to the cops now
and tell them what we know
because this is too much.
Wait, wait, if we go to them
with no proof,
what do you think's
gonna happen?
Even if they do question her,
unless she admits it,
they'll have to let her go.
And then she'll come after us.
Tomorrow before school.
Like we talked about.
That's when we do it.
So as soon as she leaves,
we go in, right?
Yeah.
And you're sure
this is her address.
Positive.
It was on the report.
I made sure I wrote it down
as soon as I left
Callahan's office.
But what if
the grandmother isn't there?
Where's she going to be at
this early in the morning?
What if she refuses
to talk to us?
What if she tells us to
get the hell off her property
and to leave her alone?
Then we're no worse off
than we are now.
Look.
Let's go.
You expect it to be open?
So what are we gonna do, leave?
Come on.
Look, the grandmother's
got to be old.
Maybe she just didn't
hear us knocking.
Maybe. And if you don't
answer your door,
that just gives someone
the right to come in.
Coach?
Miss Miller.
Ever heard of knocking?
Have you seen Eric today?
Why? Something wrong?
I'm just wondering
if you've seen him.
I haven't,
but if I had to guess,
I'd say that he's in class,
exactly where you should be.
No, he isn't.
I checked already.
Look, Miss Miller,
even if I did know,
I wouldn't tell you.
But why?
Why?
Have you completely forgotten
our previous conversation?
I instructed you
to stay away from him.
Eric and I
are destined to be together.
No, you're not.
In fact, like we agreed,
don't go anywhere near him.
Hello?
Miss, uh...
Mrs. Miller?
Shh!
What? We don't want
to surprise her.
Mrs. Miller,
the door was open.
It's really important,
Mrs. Miller.
We really need to talk to you
about Emily.
Something isn't right.
It just doesn't feel
like anyone is here.
Let's take a quick look around,
and then we'll get out of here.
Just a look.
This is from a nursing home.
Looks like a bill.
You don't think Emily
has been living here alone?
Only one way to find out.
I don't think anyone has
been here for a very long time.
I don't either.
Come on, let's go.
This must be her room.
There's gotta be
something on this.
Oh, my God, Eric.
Look at this.
We gotta get the cops
over here now.
I don't think so, Eric.
When both of you
weren't at school,
I got a little suspicious,
and I thought,
"Where could they
both be together?"
Emily, please.
You need help.
Help?
You want to tutor me, Eric?
We're not gonna hurt you, Emily.
We just want to leave.
No.
You're not gonna hurt me.
Emily, this is about you and me,
not about Jess. Please.
Let her go,
and we can talk about this.
This is about me and you.
Talk about it?
So you can leave me too,
just like my mother did?
Take off with some young,
hot athlete,
without even any thought
about what would happen
to her only daughter?
- I never left you.
- Shut up!
Just shut up!
Put the knife down, Emily,
before you go too far.
Too far?
I don't think so, Jess.
I don't think so.
I think any reasonable person
would think this was
self-defense.
Don't you, Jess?
- You breaking into my house...
- You can still get help.
I said shut up!
If it wasn't for you,
he would be all mine right now.
All mine!
If it wasn't for you, you bitch!
You can't get rid of me, Eric.
I'll always be there.
Just when you think you're safe,
I'll be watching...
at the soccer field,
in the classroom,
in your house,
and the second
you put your guard down,
the second
you think you're safe.
I'll be there.
Just leave us alone, Emily.
There is no "us," Jess.
Not anymore.
I'm back,
and I'm taking what is mine.
If you stand in the way,
I will make you pay.
I'll make you pay
in ways you can't even imagine.
The next time you see my face,
it will be the last thing
you ever see.
Okay, class, we have
a lot to get through today,
but first I want to welcome
a new student.
Jordyn, welcome to Timber Ridge.
Jordyn?
Oh, hi.
Thank you.
Light up the night
One with the sky
Light up the night
One with the sky above
It's gonna feel like
heaven's gates have opened
From now on
We can't go wrong
No, we can't go wrong
From now on
I see in dark days
You in the sunshine
Lost soul
In search of something
My cold heart
Is running out of time
Beating away
Hoping someday
I find you
Looking like it'd be a one-way
ticket to our destiny
