Tell Me Lies (2022) s03e06 Episode Script

1
I just got invited to a group called
"Chris Is a Rapist."
It says that he assaulted Caitie and Lucy.
Did you know about this?
Why are you doing this?
I don't need to force anybody.
Pippa and I hooked up once,
and we're cool.
You think nobody knows
what you did to Pippa?
Do you think Lucy's okay?
Yeah, I think she just wants people
to stop talking about it.
I didn't mean for this story
to become about me.
I was I was just trying to help Pippa.
Don't say anything else to anyone.
I told Stephen.
- [WHISPERING] You what?
- He made me admit it
- [STEPHEN] Go.
- On tape.
I lied about being raped.
When I'm rough with you
You're nothing.
I thought we were just fucking around
and it didn't come from, like,
a place of, like, trauma.
You're not damaging me.
I don't want you to suddenly be different.
[STEPHEN] [OVER
COMPUTER] It's because you are
so completely forgettable.
You're just a pointless fucking cunt!
[BREE] Do you actually like this, or
did he just convince you that you do?
Because I bet you fucking hate it.
I can tell you're trying to hurt me, Bree,
but you're not going to succeed
because I've already felt
all the things that you're feeling.
[AMANDA] Bree, hey.
I think what you're doing is really wrong.
You're sleeping with someone
else's husband. It's gross.
Okay, I'll help you out.
Do this one
like you want to kill yourself.
- [GASPS]
- Please be serious.
- I can't
- This is
- We're talking about suicide here.
- [CHUCKLES]
I'm going to New Jersey to see my mom.
You know, I don't have
any summer plans yet.
Trev and I are house-sitting
for his parents at the shore.
You could come if you wanted.
Hey, do you wanna come get food with us?
I ate already, actually. With Evan.
We're kind of back together. It's good.
[STEPHEN] Are you pregnant?
That you already scheduled an abortion?
It's gonna be the highlight of my
year. I am so excited
to abort your baby.
He's just not someone who lets things
go. I'm actually I'm scared of him.

Hi.
[YAWNS]

[PIPPA] It's at, uh, 12.
But I'm gonna get ready
with the girls first,
so I'll meet you there if that's cool.
- Yeah, that sounds cool.
- Great.
Are you going now?
Yeah, I just have
some shit to do first, so
Okay.
Uh, I'll see you there.
Okay.
Hey.
I love you.
You're a good valentine.
Aw, so are you.

[MOTHER] [ON PHONE]
Diana, what the hell are these photos
that were sent to your father?
Uh, w-what do What do you mean?
Your father was just sent
some very disturbing photos of you
from some anonymous email account.
I-I have no idea
what you're talking about, Mom.
I just forwarded them to you.
[LIGHT, TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I don't know why you would let
someone take pictures of you like this.
Mom, I don't
[GASPS] This is insane.
Um, I'm so sorry.
I'm so, so sorry. Is Dad there?
I don't think it's a good idea
for you to talk to him right now.
He's really upset.
Honestly, so am I.
Let's just speak later.
[LINE DISCONNECTS]
Please don't look.
Who sent those?
Stephen.
I forgot they even existed.
They're from freshman year.
You let Stephen have those?
It was early, when I was
still obsessed with him.
What are you gonna do?
I'm not giving him a reaction.
Okay, I don't think now
is the time to be a bigger person
It's not about being the bigger person.
He cannot keep getting away
with this, okay?
There's no justice
with someone like him, okay?
That's not how this works.
Hey, look. Okay, I get it.
He's really scary.
Sorry, um
I just think I need
to be alone right now.
Okay?

Yeah, it felt right.
Dressing like I'm clinically depressed
actually makes me feel
less clinically depressed.
[BREE] I hope Pippa gets here soon.
I don't want to be late.
You think it's bad that I didn't get Evan
a Valentine's Day gift?
I mean, you guys only got back together,
like, a week ago.
I'm not sure he really earned a gift yet.
Do you Do you not like Evan?
[LAUGHS] What? Wh
Why would you ask that?
Just, like, a feeling I get sometimes.
No.
No, I, I like him.
I like him.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Where have you been?
Wow.
I didn't know we were going full out
with makeup and everything.
Well, we're running
a little bit late, so
draw on a tear, and then we can go?
I'm not really in the mood.
I'll do it.
It weirdly makes you feel better.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Okay.
- Lucy?
- Mm-hmm?
Doesn't this mean that you, like,
killed someone in prison?

I'll take the train, and then I'll just,
like, get a cab from there.
I actually gotta run now,

So my mom is coming
to my exhibit tomorrow.
Wait, what? Your Your "mom" mom?
Yeah, like like my mom.
- Holy shit! What?
- How?
Uh, it's a long story,
but basically, I got in touch with her
a couple weeks ago
and I invited her and, um,
I wasn't sure if she'd flake
so I didn't want to get my hopes up,
but she's not flaking.
Oh, my God, Bree.
- Bree, that's amazing.
- So, it's really good.
Wow.
Um, but I haven't told Evan yet, though,
so, um, just let me tell him first.
Yeah.
Okay, we should go.
I think he's already there.
[PIPPA] Okay, wait, guys.
Is this, like, goth enough?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Also, being goth is more
about the attitude anyway.
For sure. So just
- Just look miserable.

We're being very, very appropriate.

I think you're all being
a bunch of smug assholes.
Speaking of, I think Stephen's
coming, and I guess
he's bringing a date.
- Some freshman.
- [PIPPA] Gross.
Of course Stephen's preying
on a freshman.
Should we leave?
No. No, it's fine.
You actually have a date coming, too.
Pretty sure I don't.
I might have texted Alex
and asked him to come.
What? No, why Why'd you do that?
You're too hot to be alone
on Valentine's Day.
- Bree
- Besides, isn't it kind of fun
to rub it in Stephen's face?
No, it won't. I'm really not
trying to piss Stephen off.
Can you Can you text Alex
and tell him not to come?
It's too late. He's almost here.
- Okay.
- Sorry.
I'm sorry, I didn't want you
to be, like, alone today.
It's okay.
- I'm excited for you to meet everyone.

What do you think, I'm like 12?
He's not gonna say anything.

or made me sound desperate,
but you really didn't have to come.
No, it's fine.
I had nothing else going on.
Okay.
And I know you're not my Valentine,
so don't worry.

But we realized we weren't
compatible romantically.
Better as friends. Right?

So you're 17?
Um, I-I skipped a year in high school.
- Sorry, I-I got to go.
- Okay.
So, you know what you're doing
after graduation?
[EVAN]
Uh, I think I'll do New York for a bit.
Figured I'd stay on the East Coast
while Bree is finishing school.
My parents are actually setting me up
with a place in Williamsburg.
Yeah, I thought you were
more of a Tribeca guy.
[EVAN] [LAUGHS] Yeah, nah, nah, nah.
- No?
- Nah, nah, I like Brooklyn.
Besides, I think Bree is staying
with me over the summer.
What?
Yeah, there's a bunch of photography stuff
you can get into there.
Yeah, but, like, I don't know
what I'm doing with my summer yet.
[EVAN LAUGHS]
Uh, okay.
Did you have something planned?
I may actually stay with my mom, yeah.
[EVAN CHUCKLES]
What What are you talking about?
Yeah, we, um
we got back in touch recently, and, um,
I went to go see her.
And she Yeah, she's actually coming
to my photography exhibit tomorrow.
Wait, wait, wait. I'm I'm so confused.
Why didn't you say anything?
I was going to later today.
How was it, Bree? Seeing her?
Good. Weird, but yeah, not bad.
Look, I-I just thought, you know,
when you talk about her,
you kind of say she's sort of a mess.
She was, but she's had
a really crazy life, so
Bree, that's great, talking again.
Yeah, no, it's great. It's great.
You just didn't tell me you saw her.
And I was going to.
- [EVAN] I know.
- [CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Hey, uh, I gotta run some stuff
to a party down the street.
What stuff?
Oh, dr Right.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, I'll be right back, okay?
I literally came up to you.
Hey, your Your jacket.
Thank you.
We need to play a drinking game.
Uh, yeah, no, this group
does not do well with those.
Come on!
I know such a good game,
and it's not scary at all.
Come on!
Okay, the game is called Paranoia.
Everyone writes down
a few questions on a slip of paper,
like, "Who's the loudest drunk?"
Or, "Who thinks he's too cool
to dress up for theme parties?"
- Stephen.
- Stephen.
[TEGAN] Right, but we put
the questions in a pile,
and we take turns pulling them out.
Then we whisper it to whoever we choose.
So, if someone chose that question
and whispered it to me,
I would say, "Stephen."
You have to answer
with someone in this group.
But if you're the person named,
you can only hear the question
if you take a shot.
So otherwise, I'd hear my name,
but I wouldn't know the question.
And that's exactly why
it's called Paranoia.
Okay. Okay.
I'll go grab some shot glasses.
This sounds like a disaster
waiting to happen!

Ooh!
Uh, okay, so I am next.
Mmm
Coming for ya.
Oh.
This one is very, very hard,
but I think I'm gonna go with Pippa.
- Okay.
- [LAUGHS]
[TEGAN] Let's go.
It's, "Who's your favorite person?"
[LAUGHS]
[TEGAN] Okay, did everyone
just write down nice questions?
That's not the point of this game.
Yeah, no, these are lame.
[LAUGHS] Yeah.
Th-This is better.
Lucy, uh, come here.
Come here.
[LUCY] Um
Evan.
All right.
Uh, "Most likely to live off
their parents forever."
- Whatever.

Evan, it's your turn.
Let's see. Uh
I see what this is.

you not saying anything
about visiting my mom.
Uh, okay. Why am I the one
that you're talking to about all of this?
What do you mean?
Just that you should probably
be talking to Evan about this,
seeing that he is your boyfriend.
All right? I'm not the person
that you should be confiding in.
Okay.
I'm gonna go.
Hey, can we talk?
Feel like talking is kind
of your main problem right now, Lucy.
You need to stop having conversations
that are not yours to have, okay?

I don't remember the exact day.
I'm just trying to figure out
why you didn't tell me.
Because I was worried
it was going to be a shit show.
And it was good? It was normal?
I mean, I don't kn
I wouldn't say, like, normal.
I don't know. We had mimosas.
Wait.
Didn't you tell me once
that she was an alcoholic?
She was. She's not anymore.
What? Th-That's not how that works.
Why are you being like this?
Why can't you just be more supportive?

it was good with her, I'm glad.
But even if it wasn't,

you should talk to about it,

I think it's time you switched to water.
Sorry. Sorry.
- I got it. I got it.
- No, I can
I got it.
- Why don't I call you a cab?
- No, I don't need a fucking cab.
- [ALEX] Lucy, come on. Let's go.
- I don't
It's okay. Let's go home.
- Now you want to help.
- I'm sorry.
Uh, sorry, man.
You can sit down. I'll just
I'll get you some water.
God, why is everyone
the fucking water police tonight?
[LUCY SIGHS]
[TAP WATER RUNS]
You're not okay.
Why are you so scared
of that guy, Stephen?
Why do you think I'm scared?
Because I know what that looks like.
[CRYING]
Yeah, I'm not okay.
But I think you like me like this.
- I don't know what you mean.
- Just
Just admit it.
You like it.
You don't want to be nice to me.
I'm sad.
And a fucking worthless mess.
And you love it.
["DRAMAMINE" BY MODEST MOUSE PLAYING]
This is how you want me.
It's okay.
[BOTH PANTING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'm not a bad person.
I know you're not.
Please.

Am I in the wrong here?
I'm sorry.
Can you please just say something?
I think wanting a relationship
with your mother is
like an extremely normal thing
for you to want.
Then why is he being like this?
I mean, it's pretty obvious
that he-he's threatened
that you're choosing
to spend time with her over him.
I knew it.
I should have told him sooner.
Jesus Christ. No, Bree, this is on him.
He should be happy that you're
fixing things with your mother.
And honestly, it's fucked up
that he would block it
just so he could have you
in Brooklyn with him.
Yeah, it's fucked up.
Yeah, it is fucked up.
It is fucked up. Honestly, everything is.
Like this, right now.
- What do you mean?
- Wh-What are you
I-I asked you two hours ago
not to confide in me.
And here you are,
you're immediately confiding again.
- I'm I was upset.
- Yeah, well, it's not really my business
if you're upset or not, right?
Because this, you and me
it's not a thing.
I don't even know
what you're talking about.
Yes, you do.
You know exactly
what I'm fucking talking about.
Well, if it isn't a thing
I don't get why you're so mad at me.
I'm not. I'm mad at everybody.
We're all making terrible decisions!
Evan's acting like
a fucking possessive idiot.
And you got back together
with him after he cheated.
And you're You're fucking
You're yelling at teenage girls
instead of the fucking 45-year-old creep
who traumatized you.
And then we got Lucy walking in
with a goddamn drug dealer.
And girls Girls are
Girls are still dating Stephen.
Fucking shit!
Goddamn it. I think
You know what's crazy?
I think Pippa's the only one
who isn't fucking up right now.
She's been, like,
the perfect girlfriend,
and meanwhile, my dumb ass is over here
just fucking taking her for granted
and spending too much time with you.
Well, then don't!
Oh, my God.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS]
Bree.
I need to talk to Oliver.
He's not here.
Bree.
[WOOD CREAKING]
He's really not here, Bree.
[BREE SIGHS]
He's staying somewhere else tonight.
And you just sit and wait here
while he's with her?
Do you know that she's 17?
Oh, he didn't tell you that part?
I thought he got off on
On giving you all the details.
How much did you drink, Bree?
That's not the What this is.
I'm telling you the truth.
Amanda, she's 17.
Do you know when it started?
- Oh, come on.
- At your Christmas party.
The one that he fucked me at
in your laundry room.
- Okay, Bree, that's enough.
- Well, it wasn't. Not for him.
No, he went after her that same night.
He's dangerous.
He's hurting people.
He's hurting her.
Do you even care?
You've clearly had too much
to drink today, Bree.
Stop saying that!
It doesn't matter if I'm fucking drunk!
[SIGHS] Oh, fuck. Okay.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
I'm sorry.
She's 17.
It's not okay.
And how old are you, Bree?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sorry.
Come here.
[MARIANNE SIGHS]
I'm sorry.
- [SOBS]
- I know, I know.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
[EXHALES]
I didn't know she was that young.
He's a
[SIGHS]
he's a complicated man.
I mean
it's more than complicated, I know.
It's just
[SIGHS]
It's just gotten all out of hand.
Why don't you leave him?
Can I give you a piece of advice?
It's better to be
with someone who loves you
a little more than you love them.
Otherwise, you end up
going along with things
that you never wanted.
He can't keep doing this.
He's really hurting people.
I know.
[LAUGHS]
I think we both need a cup of tea.
I'm gonna put on a kettle.
You okay?
Yeah.
You?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, Bree said this thing, um
She said that the foster home
she was in with you was a bad one.
Yeah.
Why was it bad?
We didn't have good people
taking care of us.
It was worse for the boys, though.
I should get some sleep, Lucy.
Yeah, I'm gonna get going.
Okay.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[EXHALES]
[KEYS JIGGLING]
[LAUGHS]
What What are you
What are you doing?
You okay?
I-I didn't mean to
Do you know where you are right now, Lucy?
[GASPS] S-Sorry!
Lucy?
[LUCY BREATHING HEAVILY]
Are you all right?
I don't know.
It was like I was
sleepwalking or something.
Did you drink a lot today?
No, no, that's not it. I'm not drunk.
I mean, I was earlier, but not anymore.
I'm just confused
and nervous, like, all the time.
I can't sleep. I'm
I keep thinking of
Of what's gonna happen next
instead of just what's happening.
Like, I'm not I'm not here.
Do you still feel like
he's under your skin?
Yeah.
All the time.
So what do you do about it?
Nothing.
And neither should you.
He wants a reaction.
Anything you do, he'll do something worse.
You just have to let it go,
and eventually he'll move on.
So, let him win?
It's not about winning.
I pissed Stephen off the other day.
I lost my temper.
And do you know what he did?
He sent nudes of me
from freshman year
to my dad.
What the fuck? That's disgusting.
That's Stephen.
You can't beat him at this.
He'll always find a way to go lower.
He has that fucking tape of me.
That's why you need to do nothing.
Don't give him any reason to use it.
I can't. I can't just let him
hold this over me forever.
It's making me fucking crazy.
I-I have to find a way
to fix this. I have to.
No.
The best thing you can do is nothing.
He wants to have something over you.
He'd rather hold on to it
than actually use it.
So, if you don't give him a reason,
he'll probably never actually show anyone.
Listen to me.
You can be the girl
whose entire life gets ruined by him,
or you can cut your losses,
lay low,
and eventually be okay.
He's never gonna let me be okay.
He's not gonna stop.
It will be over, eventually.
I promise it will.
But only if you let it.
Only if you let it end.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's not.
I-I-I just
I didn't know who else to call.
Because I wanted to talk to you.
Because you
you make things better.
And it's confusing.
I think you're making me
kind of confused
about how I feel.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- No, stop apologizing.
- I'm sorry.
- Stop apologizing.
