Trapped in Her Dorm Room (2025) Movie Script

1
Erin!
Erin?
You in here?
Erin.
Missed you in workshop this morning.
I felt like getting
some work done instead.
Good. Show me the masterpiece.
Well, it's not done yet.
It's great.
Uh, like, it's amazing.
Thank you.
Did you hear back about Italy yet?
Um, no. They won't have a decision
until the end of the month.
I don't think you have
anything to worry about.
It's the most prestigious
residency in the world
and there's only 10 slots this year.
Well, luckily, there's only one you.
I'm surprised you didn't go for it.
Oh, yeah. My mom would love that.
Did I tell you?
She's upset I'm not going home
for spring break.
Well, just tell her
you're going binge drinking
in Daytona with your roommate.
This might be the one time she's happy
her daughter's an art nerd.
Hey, um, are you hungry?
I'm buying.
Is there a juicy conversation
brewing without me?
Oh, we're just discussing
overbearing parents
and misbehaving college kids.
My kind of party.
So, um, lunch or...
Uh, rain check?
There is some major,
major girl talk we need to have.
I'll call you later.
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
"Major, major girl talk," huh?
- Spring break.
- Kaley.
Shane is bringing
his cousin Hudson.
First of all, stop trying to fix me up.
Second of all, I already promised Cade
- to hang out with him here.
- Fine.
If you wanna spend the week
with Dr. Downer, that's on you.
- Be nice.
- If I'm wrong,
then why aren't you
having lunch with him?
Because, I have a paper due
in Romantic Literature
and I have no idea what to write about.
How about the misfit crushing on you?
Not that kind of romantic,
Miss I-never-bothered-
to-read-a-syllabus.
Don't stress yourself out,
Miss learn-how-to-use-AI.
Look, either lock it down or ghost him,
but you can't put it on pause forever.
I know. I know.
I'm right here. I love you.
See you.
I'm torn.
Kaley wants me to go to spring break
but I have this project to do.
Sweetheart, you already work too hard.
Well, you're the one who always says,
"Dream big or go home."
Besides, I have to keep up my GPA
so I don't lose my scholarship.
Are you sure it's safe?
Being on campus all by yourself?
Yes.
It's not like I'm completely alone.
Do you remember your safe word?
- Mom.
- What?
I'm a mother
with a daughter 400 miles away.
I'm allowed to be a little protective.
Pineapple. Happy?
Say hi to the roomie.
Hi, Kaley.
Hi, Mom.
Soap?
I just bought this one.
I know. I'll get you back, I promise.
Okay. I can tell you're busy.
- I will let you go.
- All right.
- Love you. Bye, Mom.
- Love you too.
Love you, Mom!
What's the momster have to say?
She says buy your own detergent.
- Where'd you get that?
- Oh, I, uh,
got it from the farmer's market.
- Some old lady makes 'em.
- It's beautiful.
Here. Take it.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
We'll call it even for the soap.
Besides, it's more your style than mine.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Um, as long as you throw in
some dryer sheets.
- Deal.
- Love you.
All right.
When I meet you
I'm a loud machine, miracle vaccine
All the edges I haven't seen,
I'm a freak show
I'll be right there.
I said I'll be right there.
Hey.
Sorry. Forgot my keys.
- What took you so long?
- I'm busy.
Yeah? Anything good?
You know, I don't like people
touching my stuff.
- You mean this stuff?
- What? Stop.
Will you just... please, please.
Who cares?
I do.
Whatever. I'm gonna take a shower.
Stick to me like glue
Bottom of my shoe
Bouncy ball turns blue
When I see you
Protocol defied
Just sent you something.
Don't you have a paper to write?
Everyone knows
you need three swimsuits
- for spring break.
- Three, huh?
You got the comfy one
for when you're hanging out.
Then there's the one piece,
flirty but classy, right?
Then there's the bombshell.
That's the one you post on the Gram
or you hit up a party with.
But let's face it, it's low-key stabbing you.
Erin, this is important.
You know what else is important? GPAs.
If you can't even buy your own soap,
what are you doing
buying three bathing suits?
Oh, I already got mine.
These are for you.
I could have it shipped right to our hotel.
I already told you.
Wait, before you even go there,
Shane sent a picture of his cousin.
- I'm not listening.
- Would you at least look?
He's... all right.
Girl, are you being serious now?
I told you, I'm gonna get this project done
for Professor Gale.
Maybe I'll go next year.
You're breaking my heart.
You'll live.
- I'll see you later?
- Don't forget,
we have that party tonight.
Do I need three dresses?
Ha, ha, ha. Bye, girl.
Bye.
Boo!
You scared me.
- Uh, you didn't call.
- What?
Last night, you said you
were gonna call, but...
Um, sorry.
I was talking to my mom.
I guess I lost track of time.
Yeah.
I just wanna make sure
you're okay, you know?
I'm good.
So I was thinking, you know,
since we're both gonna be here
next week,
um, maybe we could do
something together.
We're supposed to be getting work done.
Well, yeah. But I mean,
what about dinner?
You gotta eat, right?
Can we just play it by ear?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Oh, before I forget.
For you.
What is it?
A surprise.
- Oh, thanks.
- Yeah.
- See you later.
- Bye.
Remember, spring break
doesn't start until tomorrow.
That means you're officially
on school time.
How old are you?
I know you're a freshman.
- I got an ID.
- Yeah, and I have a PhD in BS.
I know it doesn't
have to be this way-ay-ay...
Erin!
This is my roommate, Erin.
Erin, this is Travis.
- He's on the lacrosse team.
- What's up?
Hey. Uh, can we talk?
- Don't you dare go anywhere.
- I won't.
What's up?
I'm going.
- You mean...
- Daytona, here we come!
You're not gonna regret this one!
This is gonna be insane.
- What about the plane ticket?
- We're good.
My dad's got so many miles,
we could probably get a whole plane.
- All right, cool.
- You feel better now?
- Yeah.
- Good,
because we are gonna tear it up.
- Woo!
- Yeah!
- Have you told Cade?
- About going with you?
Not yet. But like you said,
I have to make up my mind.
And honestly,
I'm just not attracted to him.
Don't sweat it. There's gonna be
a whole beach of guys
to hook up with, not to mention Hudson.
Well, I'm not going to Florida to hook up.
Oh, contraire.
Erin.
This clearly looks like
an A and B conversation,
so I'm gonna C my way out of here.
Seriously?
Were you planning on telling me?
Of course, I was gonna tell you.
- We had plans. We...
- Okay. Hold on.
No. I thought we had something.
We do. We're friends.
I thought you're different
from these... dumb girls.
Like, all they care about is
if you're rich or ripped.
I'm going to be with my friend. That's all.
I'm supposed to be your friend.
But even now, you lie to me.
Cade.
At least I know how you really feel.
It's not like that, okay?
Whatever, okay? I...
Just go. Get wasted
and throw up in the sand.
I don't care anymore.
That looks like it went well.
Yeah. Thanks for having my back.
Come on. Let's get a drink.
Sun goes down
Erin.
Cade.
What are you doing in my room?
We, um, we weren't done talking yet.
Yes, we were.
I love you, Erin.
And I have since the day I met you. I...
- You think you do.
- Don't patronize me right now.
I'm being honest.
Well, what's the deal here?
Did I not make the cut
with the roomie or something?
'Cause she's got it all figured out, right?
Okay. You're obviously really upset.
So how about you stop before you...
Before what?
Before I tell you the truth?
I mean, Kaley, she's nothing
but a superficial
stuck-up party girl, okay?
You have talent. You're an artist.
How about you get out of my room.
- Erin, please.
- Stop!
- I said get out.
- Erin.
Uh, Erin?
Erin.
Oh, no.
Come on. Come on.
Shh. My roommate's sleeping.
Did she actually go to sleep?
Hold up. Let me get my bag.
Now where were we?
I can't recover
From this spell that I'm under
But you could be my wild escape
Trapped in a bubble, baby
I think I'm in trouble, baby
You could be my wild escape
Oh, the flight.
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, no, no, no.
Where is it?
Where the... where the...
What...
Hello? Is anyone there?
My door is locked.
- Oh, Cade. Thank God.
- Erin.
Okay. I don't know
what happened last night
but I overslept and...
something's wrong with the door.
I know. Um...
I changed the locks.
Wait. What?
Sit.
- What's going on?
- Sit.
Please. Just...
Okay.
Listen.
I love you, okay?
And I know what goes on
on spring break.
So if you go to Daytona with your friends,
you're just gonna do
a bunch of crap you'll regret.
So you locked me in my dorm?
We have something special, Erin.
I'm not gonna throw that all away.
We don't have anything.
Well
now we have the whole week together.
And I promise you,
by the time this is over,
you will appreciate me.
This is a joke, right?
Uh...
Please tell me this is a joke.
Cade.
If you go, I'll lose you.
But if you stay, I hold on to you.
I know I messed with your feelings
and I am so, so, so, so sorry about that.
But I promise you, if you let me leave,
I won't call the police.
How are you gonna
call the police without this?
Cade.
You did this, Erin.
Remember that. You.
Kaley has been blowing up your phone
wondering where you are.
So I'm texting everyone saying
that you had a change of heart
and you're so concerned
about your art project
that you're gonna stay here to finish it.
- They'll never believe that.
- Really?
'Cause I bet you
a full scholarship that they do.
You see, I know you need that 3.5 GPA,
otherwise it's bye-bye university
and hello community college.
Okay. Cade, please.
Please. I promise I won't tell anyone.
- I promise.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
It's gonna be okay, all right?
I'm gonna take such good care of you,
you're not gonna want it to end.
You'll see.
Cade.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Help!
Help me, please!
How you doing?
You know,
things would go much smoother
if you just worked with me.
Fine. Fine.
If that's the way
you wanna play it, that's...
So you're actually gonna do this?
I'm just trying to show you
how much I care about you.
And nothing says I care about
someone like locking them up.
Bet you haven't eaten today.
No, you're hungry. That's what it is.
Oh!
Let me guess, Kaley does the shopping?
Okay. Yeah, it's fine.
I'll find you something
to get that blood sugar up.
What about... what about sandwiches?
Sandwiches.
I can do ham, turkey, Italian.
Okay. You do turkey. I'll do ham.
Hmm, tomato soup.
And we'll share a chocolate chip cookie.
Okay. Done.
You know, things would go a lot
smoother if you just cooperate.
- Hi.
- Pretty busy, huh?
Doing some renovations during break.
How can I help you?
Delivery for Erin Wallace.
Oh, she's not here.
You sure about that?
There must be some mistake.
Room 212?
That's her room.
Should I take it up?
Actually, you know what? I can do it.
- Have a nice day.
- You too.
Erin? Kaley?
It's Anna.
Are you guys still here?
I have a delivery.
Get her to go away.
How am I supposed to do that?
Impress me.
I'm, uh, just getting dressed.
Erin, I thought you left.
Yeah. Um...
I changed my mind.
Just leave the bag, okay?
Okay.
Well, since you're gonna be here,
do you wanna get dinner later?
We could order some pizza.
I don't know.
I have a lot of work to catch up on.
Um, okay.
Uh, sure.
I'll talk to you later then.
Go sit down.
Go over there.
That was good.
There's something
seriously wrong with you.
You'll feel better once you get some food.
I'm not hungry.
You gotta eat.
Or what?
You're gonna stab me
with those scissors?
You want your soup
or your sandwich first?
Or you can just let me go.
I didn't know you were so funny.
Well, I didn't know you were so weird.
Don't call me that.
Ever.
You should be grateful.
Most guys wouldn't do anything
like this for you.
Eat.
I said eat.
Do you mind?
You're confused now.
I get that.
But you won't be forever.
What are you doing?
You've got a project to do.
I haven't even started.
And now you can.
Silver lining.
I know you normally
like to work outside but, uh,
this will have to do for now.
Forgive me if I'm not exactly inspired.
Sometimes we have to do things
that we don't wanna do, okay?
And I know you don't wanna lose
that scholarship
that you worked so hard for.
So... come.
What are you waiting on?
Seventy percent of our final grade.
I can't just slap something together.
What about a, uh, portraiture?
You're good at those.
It's not that easy.
It's always easy when it comes to you.
When I'm inspired.
Doesn't mean I can just
make it happen on command.
Well, what about me?
- What about you?
- If you do me.
You're serious?
Well, I mean, I'm gonna be spending
all my time here anyways
I might as well make myself useful.
What about this? Like that?
Is that good? The light's good on that?
You do know this process
is gonna take a while.
I've got nowhere else to be.
Unfortunately.
Hey, stop.
Just take a breath.
Deeper. Deeper. Just...
There you go. That's good.
See? There you go. You got this.
You know, this kinda reminds me
of the day we first met.
Professor Gale's class.
We had to do that portrait assignment.
And yours was just,
so meticulous and thoughtful
and it was beautiful.
Mine was like Picasso
on shrooms.
- Stop moving.
- Right. Sorry.
I'll never forget
what you told me that day.
You said, "Focus on expression,
not perfection."
Right? Find something in the subject,
pinpoint something specific
and then highlight it.
Maybe a slight smile or a raised eyebrow,
twinkle in the eye.
You looked like you could use some help.
Is that it?
You just took pity on me?
I don't know.
You seemed, uh
different than everyone else.
I was, Erin.
I still am.
The Cade I knew, he wouldn't do this.
What is that?
My reminder.
For?
My medicine.
Is that okay with you?
Yeah. Yeah.
Crap.
What?
It's empty.
Okay. So you'll go a few days without it.
- It'll be fine.
- You know I can't.
Remember last fall, my panic attack?
I was in the hospital for two days.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I remember.
It's not that hard.
I just have to go to the health center.
No. No. I really don't think
that's a good idea.
Cade.
I'll do it.
You're not getting my medicine.
Do you want it or not?
Fine.
Fine.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right here.
There's a lot to do.
- Hi, Cade.
- Hi.
Hey, Cade.
- Yeah. What's up?
- It's fine.
Uh, you haven't seen Erin, have you?
No.
I just thought she was going
to Florida with everyone else
but then she ordered food earlier.
I mean, I haven't seen her since
the party last night, so...
Okay. Um, thanks.
Yeah.
Oh, come on.
How can I help you?
Hi. I need to pick up a prescription
for Erin Wallace.
She's my girlfriend.
She can't make it today.
Date of birth?
Um...
Sir, date of birth?
Uh, October 18th.
I'll be right back.
Thank you.
Come on.
Please.
Lorazepam is a controlled substance.
Oh, um...
The patient needs to pick it up herself.
Yeah. Yeah. I know.
It's just she's really not
feeling well right now.
She's really sick.
She... look, she's already upset
she couldn't go to Florida
for spring break
and I stayed behind just
to keep an eye on her, so
this would really help me out.
Please?
Is there anything we can do?
I can fill it
but I'll have to have her
personally authorize the pickup.
Uh...
She's, uh, she's asleep right now.
She's... you know, she's sick.
Maybe your girlfriend needs a doctor.
Thank you.
Thank... that's exactly what I told her.
But you know people.
They hear doctor,
they think needles and tests
and... meh.
But... yeah. Yeah. Definitely.
As soon as she wakes up,
I'll bring it up again.
Promise.
- All right. I'll get it ready.
- Thank you.
Come on.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Help! Help!
Is anyone here?
Help! Hello?
Help!
Here.
So I realize that it's been hard
for you being here.
But you just gotta be
open to it, you know?
I cared about you, you know?
What?
You actually meant something to me.
It's all just games to you, isn't it?
- I'm telling the truth.
- No.
All you girls think you're so mysterious,
but it's the same thing
over and over and over.
It's hot and cold.
It's keeping us guessing
and then blaming us
for just not getting it.
It's a power trip.
I'm not like that.
You don't even know
how full of crap you really are.
Cade, you know me better than that.
Do you really think
we'd be friends all this time
if I didn't think you were special?
Let's talk about what I know, Erin.
Is that after everything I've done for you,
you were just gonna ditch me
and run off to Daytona
to meet some random guy.
That's what it is.
You're mad because
I didn't sleep with you.
No. What? No. That...
Look who's playing games now.
Erin, are you there?
Erin?
Shh.
Hold up. Hold up.
Cheers to making bad decisions.
Woo!
Daytona here we come.
Believe it or not,
not everyone takes spring break
- as a license to party.
- I know.
That's why I was surprised
when she said she decided to go.
What's the problem then?
She didn't go.
Impulsive, irrational decisions
are practically a rite of passage.
Could you please
just take a look at this video?
Cheers to making bad decisions!
- Woo!
- Woo!
Just two girls having a good time.
No. No. I mean, in the back. Look.
- Here.
- That's her?
- Uh-hmm.
- Who's the guy?
Cade Rollins.
- Does she know him?
- Yeah.
They're in the art program together.
Live in the same dorm.
Could you please just come check it out?
When was the last time you saw her?
Two days ago.
A little too soon for a welfare check,
- don't you think?
- Yes, but...
Do you have any mental health concerns
- regarding the resident?
- No.
Any intent or threat of self-harm?
No, but I'm telling you
something isn't right.
Let me get my paperwork.
Thank you.
Look who found her inspiration.
Inspiration or oppression?
Whatever lights that artistic flame.
Cade.
You can't just keep me in here.
I just... I think
once you see how much
I really care about you,
you'll want to be with me.
You really care about me?
Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Of course, I do.
You know I do.
Then
could you get me a coffee?
Yeah. Coffee. Yeah.
Of course.
I'll, uh, I'll be right back.
Thanks.
- Ghost town, huh?
- Yeah.
If it wasn't for the renovations
on the third floor,
there'd be almost no one here.
What's going on?
Cade?
- We gotta move.
- What?
Erin, it's Campus Safety.
She always leave the door unlocked?
Not that I know of.
Erin?
Don't make a sound.
Where is she?
Wow.
Looks like
someone's been here working.
Let's see.
Uh, lot of food for one person.
This Cade Rollins, is he on this floor?
One floor up. Why?
Maybe we should pop in for a visit.
Sure.
Shh, shh. Shut up. Shut up.
Hey, no.
Do not move.
Don't... don't say another word.
Excuse the mess.
They're trying to finish
before the students get back.
Cade's over here in the back.
Mr. Rollins, open the door please.
- Yes?
- You Cade Rollins?
Yeah. I'm sorry.
Do you mind if I put on
a shirt before we...
Go right ahead.
Excuse the mess.
My roommate's kind of a slob.
I just got back from a run.
I was gonna take a shower.
What's, uh, what's this about?
I'm looking for Erin Wallace.
I understand
you two might know each other?
Well, yeah.
- I mean, we're dating, so...
- Really?
Do you happen to know
where Miss Wallace is right now?
Um, what's this about?
Just a random check.
The store, probably.
She said she was running low on paint.
We're art students.
We were under the impression
she made plans
to go out of town for spring break.
Yeah. Yeah. I think she did,
but, um, we have
this big project coming up
and she couldn't really get
her mind off of it.
I try to tell her not to stress about it
but it's a big part of our grade, so...
I can have her call you, guys,
if you'd like.
Yes. Yes, please.
- That'd be nice.
- Okay. Yeah.
- Thanks for taking the time.
- Absolutely. No problem.
So what now?
I didn't see any cause for concern.
- Did you?
- No.
Cade's doing his thing.
There's no sign of distress.
Unless I'm missing something?
- No.
- I'll be honest.
A college girl.
Spring break.
Campus is probably
the safest place she could be.
You think you're so smart, don't you?
You know, I thought we had trust.
But no.
You're just like
all of the others, aren't you?
Aren't you?
No.
Selfish, entitled, hypocritical.
Open.
Open your mouth.
Cade.
You'll learn. You'll see.
We've got all week.
Well, you look like crap.
I'd ask how you slept last night
but I guess we both know the answer.
Are you ready to apologize?
Huh?
And if I take off your gag,
are you gonna do anything stupid?
No?
How do we feel today?
Water.
Sure.
You know, it doesn't have
to be this way, Erin.
But I have to know that I can trust you.
I'm not asking for much.
A little acknowledgement,
some attention,
which I think I deserve.
Right? What do you think?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah?
Good.
Oh, Kaley texted you.
Let's see what she has to say.
Hey, babe. This place is next level.
Can't believe you're missing this.
Oh, hold up. Say hi to Hudson.
Oh, what's up?
OMG.
Anyway, hope you
and Doctor Snoozefest
are having like the best time ever.
JK.
Send me pics. Miss ya.
See?
I saved you from this.
I mean, you can't honestly tell me
that you'd wanna be
a part of that madhouse.
She's gonna want a response.
Yeah, well, kids and their texts.
- You don't know Kaley.
- Really?
Because I think
I have a pretty good idea.
Fine. All right.
If I were a college lemming
living off of alcohol and CBD gummies,
what would I say?
"Hey, roomie.
Just thought you'd like to know
that things here at Snoozeville U
are pop-off central.
Woo!
Turns out that Boring McBuzzkill
isn't totally the worst.
Who knew?
"Maybe by the end of the week,
he'll be my campus crush."
It's not bad, right?
You know what? We should take a selfie.
Yeah, no.
I mean, nothing's fully official
until you enshrined it
in your smartphone, right?
- Hashtag go to hell.
- That's clever actually.
That's a good one.
But we'll try it anyways.
Come on.
You don't have to fight me on everything.
Come here.
Can you smile? 'Cause...
I mean, this is just... it looks...
Like a hostage photo?
You wanna hold up today's paper too?
Just smile.
See? Was that so hard?
All right.
Uh, I guess let's work
on your project some more, huh?
Come on.
I don't feel like it.
I think you'll feel better
once you get some painting done.
I'd feel a lot better if I cleaned up
and changed clothes.
And after that, you'll work?
You'll do your project?
Scout's honor.
Fine. Okay. Yeah.
I'm just... I'm gonna...
I'm gonna grab my supplies.
Okay. Sure.
How's it coming in there?
Fine.
You're gonna use up
all the hot water, you know?
I'm almost done.
What was that?
Uh, I just dropped the shampoo.
- I can help you if you need...
- No.
I got it. It's okay.
You sure you don't need any help
washing your back or anything?
Yeah. I'm good.
Towel?
- All set?
- Yup.
Wait.
Got a little soap on your shoulder.
Thanks.
- Have a nice day.
- Thanks. You too.
Hello?
Is this Mrs. Wallace?
- Speaking?
- Hi. This is Anna Young.
I'm an RA at your daughter's dorm.
Is everything okay?
I was just wondering
if you've spoken to Erin
in the last couple days.
Not since she changed
her mind about spring break.
Did she tell you this herself?
It was a text. Why?
- Is something wrong?
- No. No.
I'm sure everything is fine.
I just haven't been able
to get in touch with her.
I'm sure she's probably busy
with her work.
Well, if you know my daughter,
I'd say that's more than
probable.
Has Erin ever mentioned dating anyone?
Erin? Dating? No.
And has she ever mentioned
the name Cade Rollins?
Not that I know of.
Um, well, keep in touch.
You, too.
- You feel better?
- Yeah.
After you.
I'll never understand how you do that.
What?
The strokes.
Manipulate the brush,
blend the colors, you just
you just jump right in, it's...
Maybe you don't give yourself
enough credit.
You think?
I've always wanted to ask you.
Why did you, um, why did you pick art?
You're gonna think it's silly.
I doubt that.
When I was little,
every time I saw
a really beautiful painting,
I would just get lost in the scene.
My stress would just
melt away.
I can just vibe for a minute.
It was like time was frozen.
I thought if I can give that feeling
to other people, like even for a second,
maybe I can make the world
a better place.
What about you?
I don't know. I guess, uh...
I guess it was just the only
thing I was ever good at.
So, the only time anyone
had anything nice to say to me
is when I was drawing.
This one time when I was 12,
my school had this art fair.
And I won second place.
They had these big red ribbons.
I was so proud of myself.
Ran home, put the ribbon on the fridge,
put the drawing on the fridge.
I didn't see my dad most nights,
so I just made dinner, went to bed.
And that night, he storms in my room,
tears up the drawing at my face.
Slaps the ribbon on my forehead.
After that, he, uh
well, he...
Cade, I'm so sorry.
I gotta go.
What are... what are we doing?
Where are you going?
I wanna be alone right now.
Cade! Cade!
Shut up. Shut up.
She loves me.
She loves me.
Please
shut up!
I called her mom.
I don't know, it's probably nothing
but you never know.
And she's not responding to my texts,
she's not answering any of my calls...
Yeah, I'll call you when I leave.
Oh, God. Anna!
Anna, I'm up here!
Yeah. Okay. Bye.
Anna!
Anna! Anna!
Help!
Anna! Anna!
Erin! Erin, are you there?
Erin, open the door.
I can't. Anna, please help me.
Erin, I don't have a key.
Uh, let me try to break down the door.
Erin! Oh, my God.
Where are the keys?
Tr-tr-try the door by the bed.
Oh, okay.
Um, who did this?
- It was Cade.
- Well, where he is now?
I don't know. In his room?
He could be back any minute.
Okay. I got it.
- Hurry.
- Okay. Uh...
Come on.
- Okay. Come on.
- Come on. Go, go, go, go.
Come on.
We're almost there.
Anna?
Erin.
Stop.
Stop.
- Come on.
- Stop fighting.
Stop fighting.
Erin, stop.
Who are you?
Hey, I'll be back to check on you in a bit.
Andrea, hey,
I called my friend on the force
and got that information that you wanted.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Almost there.
Good morning. How'd you sleep?
Listen. Um, about last night...
Where is she?
You have to believe me,
I-I-I never want...
Where is she?
Anna is not gonna be
a problem anymore.
I didn't kill her, if that's
what you're worried about.
Do you really think
I would do something like that?
Look, I-I-I know
that you're mad at me, okay?
I mean, if the roles were reversed,
yeah, I'd probably be mad at me, too.
But, uh... oh, looking for this?
Yeah. It's good work.
I'm guessing you did that
in the shower last night.
It's funny.
If I didn't have to tuck you in,
I never would've found it.
Who keeps texting me?
It's not important.
It's your mother.
How many messages
has she sent?
- Cade.
- I don't know.
What? Five? Ten?
And you're not gonna respond?
What's she gonna do?
She's 400 miles away.
She just wants to make sure I'm okay.
- Please.
- Fine. Fine.
Uh, hi, Mom.
Sorry I haven't texted.
I've been busy trying to finish
my school work.
I wouldn't say it like that.
Okay. How would you say it?
"Hi, Mom. Sorry I've been MIA."
I really wanna crush this art project
and keep my grades solid.
I promise I'll call you back.
And before I forget
thank Aunt Debby
"for the pineapple upside down cake."
A little personal note.
That's actually good. That's good.
Upside down cake.
Okay. Cool.
All right. Now, you're ready to work?
Yeah?
Come on.
- How's it coming?
- It's not ready yet.
Okay. Okay.
But if I know you,
I know it will be well worth the wait.
Hopefully.
What are you thinking about?
It's, um... it's silly.
What?
I was thinking
um, maybe we can do
something different tonight.
Different how?
Remember that dinner date
we were supposed to have?
Yeah.
Why don't we do it here?
A dinner date? You...
Yeah. Why not?
Five minutes ago, you were
trying to get away from me.
And now you want
to have a date with me?
I just thought it'd be nice
to do something normal.
"Normal."
Although...
I guess a nice night
could help you remember
the guy you met in art class.
Exactly.
I got some nice clothes upstairs.
I'm sure Kaley wouldn't mind
if I borrow her dress.
- Okay.
- Cool.
I'm just glad this week is over.
There you are, guys, very hot.
- Thank you.
- Hey, what did I tell you
about taking personal phone calls?
Oops. One second.
- Hello?
- Hi.
Um, you don't know me,
my name is Andrea Wallace.
I was hoping I can ask you
about Cade Rollins.
Who is this?
A mother,
whose daughter has apparently
gotten close to Cade.
What do you wanna know?
Well, they go to college together.
She's supposedly there,
working on a project
during spring break,
and I haven't heard from her.
Her RA told me that
she might be dating this guy
that you have a restraining order against.
And then out of the blue,
I get this text from her
using our safe word.
So you can imagine
I'm a little concerned.
What can you tell me?
Cade comes across as a sensitive,
sweet artist, compassionate,
gentle, warm.
And maybe somewhere deep down
he is, I don't know.
But his father?
Total monster.
He'd drink and say horrible things.
And luckily Cade didn't inherit
his father's drinking,
but he definitely got his dark side.
The scariest part?
You never know when it'd come out.
He'd be sweet, loving,
and then out of nowhere,
his rage,
his jealousy, insecurity,
paranoia, all of it.
I'm so sorry.
No matter where I went,
who I was with,
he was always there watching me.
Finally I had no choice
but to get a restraining order.
So you want my advice?
Get your daughter as far away
from Cade Rollins as possible.
I got a date tonight.
Don't wait up.
Erin?
I'm almost done.
What, uh, what's taking so long?
One more minute.
It's Cade.
You know what to do.
Whoa.
You look amazing.
So what are we having?
Uh, Chinese. I got that new takeout.
I got you the tofu.
We're not eating out of those, right?
Um, yeah, um, it's all they had.
There's some plates and stuff
in the cabinet over there.
- Over there?
- Uh-hmm.
Okay. Cool.
What are you doing?
Just looking my best.
You always do.
Oh. Um, okay.
One for you and here,
there we go.
All right. Please sit.
Thank you, Cade.
This is just what I needed.
I'm not blind, you know.
I know this isn't the spring
break that you wanted.
I'm also aware that this week hasn't gone
quite the way that I hoped they would.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's okay.
- Really?
- Yeah.
What's important is what happens now.
You have no idea how happy I am
to hear you say that.
- Uh...
- Of course.
I just... I don't want
anyone else to get hurt.
You have my word.
- And Anna?
- She's in my room.
- She's fine.
- "Fine?"
Nothing will happen to her.
I promise.
Good.
So, what's gonna happen
after this week?
We'll be together.
Well, people are gonna ask questions.
We'll tell them.
Tell them what?
The truth.
That we spent some time
together over spring break
and realized that we had
feelings for each other.
You're not eating.
I was too busy looking at you.
Hmm. Thanks.
But this is... it's really good.
- Yeah? Good?
- Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.
Let's see here.
Hmm.
That is really good.
I'm glad you're enjoying it.
You okay?
Yeah.
It's all right.
I think I ate too fast or something.
Well, there's plenty to go around.
Yeah.
I don't know. I, uh...
I feel like really, uh...
Cade?
Cade?
Cade?
Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
911, what's your emergency?
I'm a student at Sagebrush University
and I'm being held
against my will by... no!
Give me.
- No!
- Stop!
Stop.
Look, ma'am. It's spring break.
I just don't have the resources right now
to track down every student
who doesn't call their parents back.
But it's been days.
And last night, she just text me
using our safe word.
Okay. What's the student's name?
Wallace. Erin Wallace.
- Really?
- Wait, you know her?
As a matter of fact,
her RA asked me to do a
welfare check a couple days ago.
- And?
- Wasn't there.
Her boyfriend said
she'd gone to the store.
Wait, "boyfriend"?
Cade Rollins?
No. No.
If Cade was her boyfriend,
I would know about it.
And I just spoke to someone
who has a restraining order
out on this kid.
Please, I-I'm afraid
something is seriously wrong.
All right. I'll go check it out right now
and let you know, okay?
Thank you.
You've reached
RA Anna Young of Logan Hall.
Please leave a message.
This is Officer Tate.
Please call me
when you get this message.
I mean, what is their problem?
Like, I told them,
I told them they have nothing
to worry about,
but why don't they believe me?
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry, okay?
It's okay.
Everything's gonna be fine
because I'm not gonna let them
come between us.
I won't.
Okay?
Campus Safety, please open the door!
Campus Safety, open the door now!
Erin.
Erin.
You've reached Sophia Tate
of the Campus Safety Department.
I'm not able to take your call right now...
- Hello?
- Hi. Kaley, it's Erin's mom.
Hey, Mrs. Wallace. What's up?
Hi, you haven't spoken to Erin
today by any chance, have you?
I haven't talked to her since I left.
Why? Is something wrong?
I don't know.
Erin sent me a text last night
with her safe word
and now she's not answering her phone
or responding to texts.
Have you tried anyone else?
Yeah. No-nobody's answering.
Not Erin, not the RA,
not even the officer I spoke to.
Wow.
Kaley, what do you know
about Cade Rollins?
Quiet. Kind of creepy.
Why? Do you think he did something?
I don't know.
I'm thinking of going down there myself.
I know it's far,
but I'm just getting really worried.
I'm sorry, I can't be more help.
Hey, just let me know
if you do hear from her, okay, honey?
Sure, Mrs. Wallace.
It's not my fault, it's not my fault.
She had no right to come in here.
She just came in, I had to tie her up,
drag her upstairs, okay?
This is... this is our space right now
and she does not need
to be in here, okay?
At all. She just doesn't.
So I'm sorry. I just got a little worked up.
I, really, I'm trying to do
a nice thing for us here,
but they just won't
leave us alone, you know?
Hey. So I know it's been
a rough morning,
but I also know
that when you have a tough day,
you like to paint.
So I was thinking,
since it's such a beautiful day out,
maybe you'd like to sit
in the sun for a bit.
What do you think?
Oh.
Right.
What do you think?
Look. I got your paint, I got your easels,
I got anything waiting for you
right there, I just
please.
You'll have to help me.
Yeah. Yeah, of course. Sure.
I think I was lying down too long.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
I got you.
Wait, wait, wait.
There you go. It's nice.
How's it coming?
It's almost done.
Really?
So I guess this kind of paid off, then?
I guess.
I just want to tell you
that, um, I've really had,
like, the best time with you this week.
I know Florida would have been fun too,
but all the people
and the noises and the drinking,
just, uh, it's a bit much
when really all I want is just to
is to be with you.
You probably think I'm crazy.
Loaded question, I know.
No. It's sweet.
Really.
I wasn't sure how you'd feel,
you know, given everything
we've been through.
I was thinking, you know,
'cause spring break is ending soon
and everyone's gonna come back,
and I was just wondering,
can... could we still see each other?
I don't see why not.
Really?
That's it.
I think it's done.
No, but really, like...
And I think Professor Gale
is gonna really like it.
In fact,
I think it's one of
the best things I've ever done.
That's great, that's amazing!
I mean, I feel like maybe
I could take some of the credit on that.
Some?
You were the whole inspiration.
I'm, like, nervous to see it now, I don't...
No.
I want you to see it.
Okay, Picasso.
Show me the masterpiece.
Erin!
Get back here!
Erin? You're not leaving me!
Erin?
Erin?
Erin?
You in here?
Don't fight me, Erin.
Please.
We're meant to be.
No!
Erin, get out of here!
Oh!
I was so worried about you.
You're okay now.
Okay.
Come on. Let's go.
That's a face I hope to never see again.
Oh, my God. Erin!
- I was so worried about you.
- About me?
I was worried about you!
Mom, this is Anna, my RA.
Hi, Mrs. Wallace.
Gosh. Andrea, please.
I feel like I know you already.
Thank you for everything
you did to help my daughter.
Of course. She's one of a kind.
- Yeah.
- I'll see you later.
- Yeah.
- I've gotta give my statement
to the cops.
So Mom, I was thinking of applying
for a residency this summer.
It's in Italy, but I heard it's great.
"Dream big or go home," right?
Thanks.
All right. We're done here.
Um, will you be driving separately
or you're going around the back?
Oh, I don't think I'm ready
to leave this one's side quite yet.
Step up.
There you go, ma'am.
