Tell Me Lies (2022) s03e07 Episode Script

1
[WRIGLEY] Did Bree tell you
about her photography exhibit?
- No.
- She's really talented.
The department picks only
a few students every year.
Oh, my God, that's so cool.
[BREE] I went to go see my mom.
And it was good? It was normal?
[BREE] I wouldn't say normal.
We had mimosas.
Wait, didn't you tell me once
that she was an alcoholic?
She was. She's not anymore.
What? That That's not how that works.
You're making me choose
between you and Bree. It's sick.
I hope you told him what a fucking asshole
he was that night.
He dumped her while
she was wearing a coconut bra.
- I don't think I was there.
- [BREE] Yes, you were.
I know that was the night
that you slept with someone else.
Do you still feel like
he's under your skin?
Yeah. All the time.
Say you lied on tape, or I will tell Bree
you fucked Evan. Your choice.
Why are you doing this?
Because I want to hurt you,
and I don't know how else to do it.
[DIANA] He wants a reaction.
Anything you do, he'll do something worse.
Hey, Mom.
[WOMAN] [ON PHONE]
Diana, what the hell are these photos
that were sent to your father?
Look, okay, I get it. He's really scary.
Sorry, um, I just think
I need to be alone right now.
Okay.
- Bree.
- I need to talk to Oliver.
[MARIANNE] He's really not here, Bree.
[BREE] Do you know that she's 17?
- It's not okay.
- I'm sorry.
- [SOBBING]
- I know. I know.
Hey.
[BREE] I just
I didn't know who else to call.
You make things better.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I don't know what to do.
If you want me to
If you want me to pretend
like this never happened, I, uh
I will.
Well, what do you want?
What do I want? Right now?
I want to fucking kiss you again.
But I also want to not be
a complete fuck-up
that hurts everybody, so
Yeah.
I've been really confused
the past few weeks.
I really have.
I think about you a lot.
Me too.
I thought I was maybe imagining it.
No. No, you weren't.
You weren't. You weren't.
I'm gonna break up with Pippa.
- What?
- Yeah.
No. I-I I'm not,
like, asking you to do that.
No. No, I'm not saying
that you are. I just
I'm not I'm not saying that.
It's j And it's not
just because of this.
I mean, this
This makes things pretty clear.
But, um,
I don't even I don't even think
Pippa's in love with me anymore.
I think we're just best friends.
But either way, I'm not
I'm not gonna keep lying to her.
And I'm not
I'm not asking you to do anything.
I don't know where your head's at.
[INHALES SHARPLY, SIGHS]
Hey.
I really care about you.
I really care about you, too.
[LAUGHS]
I'm breaking up with Evan, too.
- Only if that's what you want.
- It is.
I feel like this
This could be something good.
And I don't want to fuck it up
because we're both lying.
Yeah.
You do feel like
this is a real thing, though?
- Yes. Yes.
- [SIGHS] Okay.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
What then?
Because we can't just, like,
become a thing.
Well, we can let stuff settle for a bit,
and then we can figure out what this is.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- [QUIETLY] Okay.
- Okay.
- I should go home.
- What?
I have my exhibit.
Oh.
That's right.
All right, I guess I'll
I guess I'll see you later.
- Yeah.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
I think we have to walk ♪
["LUA" BY BRIGHT EYES PLAYING]
I keep waving at the taxis ♪
They keep turning their lights off ♪
But Julie knows a party
at some actor's ♪
- Okay.
- West Side loft ♪
It's the last one for a while.
Okay.
- That's the last one.
- Mm-hmm.
We're done here.
[LAUGHS] That's the last
♪♪
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- Hey.
- Hey.
I slept at Evan's.
Oh, cool.
- Yeah.
- Are you good?
Yeah, yeah.
Probably a mistake
to start drinking at noon.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna sleep a little
before the exhibit,
but I'll see you there, right?
[LUCY] Yeah, I'll see you there.
[SIGHS]
Hey. We need to talk.
My office hours are full today.
Why don't you book
something later in the week?
I'd rather talk now.
Okay.
What can I do for you?
It's about Bree.
Oh, right. Well
I'm not sure there's much
I can offer on that subject.
Why don't you just listen?
Bree and I are back together.
Congratulations.
Look, I know you don't give a shit,
but she's important to me.
And I feel like I'm losing her.
She just keeps pushing me away.
And you clearly have some
sort of weird hold on her.
She hasn't been the same
since you fucked with her head.
So I just want to know
what advice do you have?
[LAUGHS]
Sorry, just to be clear.
You're asking me
how to fuck with her head?
No, no, no, no.
I'm asking you how to stop her
from sabotaging something
that's good for her.
Just tell me what to fucking do.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
[SIGHS] Look,
Bree is a very frightened person.
I wouldn't say that.
No, she is. Trust me.
All she wants is to feel like
she's on solid ground.
She is desperate for stability.
So you have to be there for her.
Well, what do you mean?
[LAUGHS]
I mean that if she feels
like she needs you,
then she won't push you away.
She's lucky to have
someone like you, Evan.
You're a reliable person.
Most people aren't.
She just might need
to be reminded of that.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm so hungover.
I hope I wasn't embarrassing yesterday.
Uh, no.
- Did you have fun?
- Yeah.
Uh, thanks for being so nice to me.
You didn't have to be.
Of course.
Hey, Tegan, wait.
You Uh
Sorry, I-I-I know
this is gonna sound crazy,
but I-I need to be honest
with you about something.
Okay.
Stephen's not a good guy.
He We're not friends.
I'm I'm scared of him.
That's the only reason I went along
with everything he said yesterday.
Okay? He's He's honestly dangerous.
And, look, I'm only
telling you this because
I-I wish somebody told me.
Are you being serious?
Yeah, you You should stay away from him.
Okay.
Just Just please be careful.
Yeah. Okay.
Um
thank you for telling me.
[SOFTLY] Yeah.

[PHONE LINE RINGING]
[EVAN] [ON PHONE] Hey, what's up?
It's Evan. Leave a message.
- [VOICEMAIL BEEPS]
- Hey, Evan.
Uh, we need to talk about something.
Call me back.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
[EVAN] Hey.
Hey.
- Pippa said you were here.
- Yeah.
Um, I just I have a lot of work to do.
Uh, listen, I'm sorry about yesterday.
I-I didn't mean to put pressure
on you about this summer.
I'm an asshole.
You're not an asshole.
Okay, but I still feel bad about it.
And obviously, I want you
to spend time with your mom
if that's what you want.
Wait.
Look [EXHALES]
we need to have a bigger conversation
before we're talking about
the summer and all of that.
Yeah. Yeah, I agree, actually.
But let's Let's not
talk about that today.
Tonight's a big night for you.
Let's wait.
Okay?
Okay.
But let me help you out today.
I could pick your mom up
from the train station and drive her here.
No. No, I don't want to put that on you.
She'll just take a taxi.
No, come on.
It'd be nicer for her if I pick her up.
Besides, she's been on the train
for how many hours?
Yeah, it is a long trip.
Exactly.
This is better.
Okay.
Yeah, thanks.
[EVAN] Yeah.
Great. Just, uh, text me her number,
and I'll take care of everything else.
Okay.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- [KEYS JIGGLE]
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- What are you doing here?
- [LUCY] You didn't answer your phone.
- Yeah, that was intentional.
- Well, we need to talk.
All right, but it needs to be quick.
Stephen's gonna tell Bree
you and I had sex.
What are you talking about?
Just trust me. It's happening.
- How do you know this?
- Because I know.
It's complicated,
but I know he's going to.
He's not done punishing me.
Or you.
- And he's gonna do it soon.
- And you know this for a fact?
Yes.
- Oh, fuck.
- Listen,
it's really so simple, okay?
We just deny it.
But I already told Stephen it happened.
Yeah, but you didn't tell Bree.
So when Stephen tells her,
we just deny it.
Why Why would Bree believe Stephen,
who she fucking hates, over you or me?
That's maybe true.
It's actually pathetic
we've been allowing him
to hold this over us forever.
It's not like he has any proof.
And you're okay just lying to Bree?
We're already lying to Bree.
Look, you You fucked this up
by telling Stephen,
so now we have to protect her.
This would devastate her.
Hey, we We can control this.
Okay?
Just swear to me, anything Stephen says,
we tell Bree it's not true.
Look, if you and I are on the same page,
there's nothing he can do.
Okay.
Do Do you swear?
Yeah. I swear.
Okay.
Thank you.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[PHONE LINE RINGING]
[DIANA] [OVER PHONE] Hey, this is Diana.
Leave a message.

[GROANS]
[KNOCKS]
- Hey.

[CHUCKLING] Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Well, no, not really. Uh, no.
Okay.
Look, you You really are my best friend.
I know.
You're mine.
Yeah, I know.
Um
but lately, it it feels like, um,
maybe that's
maybe that's like all we are.
What do you mean?
Do you Do you Do you feel
like we're just best friends?
Okay. I feel like you're
You're trying to get me
to say something
instead of just saying it yourself.
Yeah. Ahem.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Okay. I-I feel like
lately we've, um, been
I-I feel like we're
We're just, um, more
More just friends.
So you're not in love with me?
[BREATHING SHAKILY] Not, uh
No, not in the same way, I don't think.
I'm sorry.
Oh, wow. [LAUGHS]
Okay.
But are you?
I mean, I feel like maybe this was mutual.
I don't know. I
I just wasn't expecting this
to happen right now, okay?
But you don't want to be with me,
so that's that.
Okay, let's, uh
This isn't going well. Let's back up.
Okay, how did you expect this to go?
You just walk into my room
and tell me that you're rejecting me.
I'm sorry, I don't want you to hate me.
I Okay. I don't hate you.
[SIGHS] Fuck. I just need a minute, okay?
I don't I don't want to leave
if we're not okay.
We just broke up,
so clearly we're not okay.
Honestly
it hasn't felt like you've been
that interested in me for a while now.
Kind of feels like maybe you were
just with me 'cause you felt bad.
And if I was wrong about that, I'm sorry,
but that's how it felt.
Will you just Could you just leave?
This is just It just feels bad.
It feels bad!
Sorry.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Are you here on purpose this time?
Yes. Can we talk?
Um
yesterday was pretty fucked up.
What What part of yesterday?
Bringing that freshman
just to rub her in my face.
Why Why do you assume
that was about you?
Maybe I really like her.
- Do you?
- Would it matter if I did?
If you were trying to fuck
with my head, it worked, okay?
Uh, you're the one who chose this.
And you seemed really happy
with your decision.
Of course, I'm not fucking happy.
Even if I did try
and fix this now, it's
wouldn't fucking matter.
We've been disgusting to each other.
What do you What do you mean?
What do you mean
What do you mean, "fix this"?
How would you How would you do that?
I mean
even if I did exactly
what you asked me to do,
if I told Bree the truth about Evan
and just accepted the fallout
come on, it's not like
you and I are gonna work.
Why do you say that?
I'm not saying that's what I want.
I'm just curious what you mean by that.
I mean, we've been horrible to each other.
I lied to you about Evan,
and you have that fucking tape of me.
Just Just knowing that you have
it and you can hold it over me, it's
We'd never be able to trust each other.
And that was That was the whole point,
for us to trust each other.
You chose Bree.
Bree's my friend, yes.
But I-I've realized lately
the thing you said
about how if she actually knew me,
she would never speak to me again.
I think you might've been right.
She doesn't know me that well.
Not the same way you do.
You're You're like the only
genuine relationship I have.
[SIGHS]
It's just It's It's
too fucked up now.
It's pointless to even talk about.
[LUCY SIGHS]
It's not pointless.
You You really did hurt me.
[SOFTLY] I know.
But if you're serious
about telling Bree
if you'd really do that
and just come clean to everyone,
I think that would go a long way
in me being able to trust you again.
So you miss me?
A little bit, yeah.
Things have, uh
They haven't felt right.
It's felt, uh, a little flat.
You know?
Yeah.
God, but if If I tell Bree, I'm
I'm basically blowing up every friendship.
You, you would be the only person
who wants anything to do with me.
So I
I-I really need to be able
to trust you, okay?
I can't
I can't be scared you're just gonna
hold shit over me forever.
Obviously, if we were back together
I'd give you back the tape.
♪♪
Okay.
You can tell Bree.
If that's what you need to do
you can You can do it.
I just I can't do it myself.
I-I need you to I need you to do it.
That That is a little hard for me.
With the Evan of it all.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, why Hey, why don't we just
talk about it tomorrow?
Okay? Bree Bree has her
exhibit thing tonight anyway,
and it would just
It would just be mean
to do it before then.
Yeah.
What's that for?
There's a Yale event, uh, tomorrow.
My A professor
who's an alum is throwing it.
It's for all the students who got in.
Aw, nice.
I need to think about all this.
Yeah.
Let's talk after my event.
Okay.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[MARY] Yeah.
I just have to say,
you really are so adorable.
[LAUGHS] Oh.
And thank you so much for driving me.
It really is so sweet of you.
Yeah, of course. This is me.
Ooh, fancy.
So how's Bree? Is she nervous?
A little, but she's excited you're here.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay, yay. It's just been so special
having her pop back
into my life like this.
Hey, uh, so we're a little early
to go now.
Do you want to grab a drink?
I could use one.
Sure, yeah, as long as you think
we'll be there on time.
Yeah, definitely.
Okay.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Hey.
- Sorry.
Sorry for I'm sorry for just showing up.
No, no, no. I-I'm sorry.
Um, I
I was I was gonna call you back.
I've just I've just been stressed.
I wasn't trying to ignore you.
- Really?
- Yeah.
And I didn't mean to snap yesterday.
The stuff with my dad is just
beyond rational brain comprehension.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
So, um, something crazy just happened.
Wrigley and I just broke up.
Or, like, he broke up with me.
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, he said he could, like
He could, like, tell that we were,
like, more friends
than anything else, and
I don't know. I mean, obviously,
I have no right to be upset,
but it was
It was still kind of sad.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I handled it very well.
I mean, obviously, like,
it needed to happen.
Anyway, hey.
Let's, like, talk about
literally anything else.
Um, I don't want to be depressed
when I go to Bree's exhibit, so
- [LAUGHING]
- Um
Well
um
looks like I'm going to Stanford.
What? You got in?
Yeah. [LAUGHS]
Oh, my God, that's amazing!
[LAUGHING] Thanks.
Wow.
[CHUCKLES]
You're definitely going there, though?
Oh, I just thought you, like,
applied to a few different places.
Yeah, but I think
Stanford's the best fit for me.
Um, and I like the idea of the West Coast.
As far from Stephen as possible.
♪♪
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I actually
I took this one, like,
second week of freshman year.
Feels more like five years ago.
I didn't think it would be that big.
No, it's It's big.
I'm sorry.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna take a lap.
Give you time to talk to your fans.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Is your mom here yet?
Not yet.
It's gonna be great.
I, uh
I don't know if this
is the right time to tell you this,
but I did break up with Pippa.
What, already?
Felt wrong to wait.
Well
is she okay?
She's pretty upset.
- Hey, it's not your fault.
- Oh, God.
- It's not your fault.
- I feel terrible.
No, don't.
It was, uh It was the right thing to do.
Hey. Have fun tonight, okay?
Okay.
[LOUD LAUGHTER]
- I'll just go.
- Okay.
- Hi! Hi.
- Hi!
Are we late? I'm so sorry.
No, you're not late. Thank you for coming.
Of course. This is so amazing.
This whole campus is so amazing.
I've never been here before.
I mean, you know that, obviously.
It's just It's so nice.
- [BREE] Yeah.
- Hey.
Oh, my God. Is this yours?
This is beautiful.
Oh, no. No, my section is over there.
Oh, my God!
Um [CHUCKLES]
[WHISPERS] Has she been drinking?
She was like this when I picked her up.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
What's Stephen doing here?
[STEPHEN] Hey.
Hi. I
I didn't know you were coming.
Yeah, everyone else was coming,
thought might as well.
Yeah, totally.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Surprised to see you here.
Oh yeah, I-I like artsy things.
Yes, that's the first thing
I say when I describe you.
"He likes artsy things."
You know, Bree's photo of you
is like a whole centerpiece.
- Oh.
- [STEPHEN] Wow.
That is a very oversized
photograph of you.
It's pretty old.
I'm gonna go look at Bree's stuff.
Hmm.
What's going on with you two?
What do you mean?
Like yesterday.
The whole thing with Tegan.
I'm pretty sure you don't consider Stephen
one of your good friends.
It's nothing. I've
I'm just trying to keep the peace.
Okay.
[MARY] Stop, Bree,
you're like a professional!
Are you for real? I am so not creative.
This is definitely not from me.
Oh, it's me.
Yeah. I, uh
I wanted to surprise you. Do you like it?
[MARY] Um
Um, it's so close.
Yeah, but you look so pretty.
I just wish you had asked me before
you put a picture of me up in public.
Oh.
Okay. Sorry.
I'm gonna go get us some wine.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Jesus.
[BOTH GIGGLE]
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
What time is it?
Oh, fuck.
Bree's exhibit started like an hour ago.
I should really get going.
I just really don't want
to be around Lucy right now.
I know you're mad at Lucy,
but maybe take it easy on her.
She's going through a lot right now.
Oh, yeah? She's going through a lot?
Yeah.
The Stephen shit is intense.
It's just a mindfuck.
Um, hey, why are you
defending Lucy all of a sudden?
You hate her.
Why does it bother you so much
if Lucy and I are okay now?
Because she's acting fucking
insane lately, especially to me.
Look, I'm not
I'm not saying she's making
the best choices,
but Stephen really fucked her up.
- I don't think you totally get it.
- Yeah, you're right, I don't.
I don't get it.
I don't I don't understand
how either of you
can be in a relationship
with someone like Stephen.
Or how you can plan
your whole future around him.
I mean, you planned to go
to Yale with him,
and now you're going to Stanford
just to avoid him?
You're upset because I don't want to
go to the same law school as Stephen?
No. No, I'm just saying, like,
your whole life
still somehow revolves around him,
but you won't even consider me.
I mean, we're gonna be
on opposite sides of the country now.
But there's nothing I can do about it.
There literally is.
You want me to change where I'm going
to law school because of you?
No.
I don't know.
It's really unfair
for you to put that on me.
What? What's unfair?
I'm asking you to think about me?
No, asking me to make plans
based around you
when I literally just got out
of a relationship like that.
Okay, well then maybe
you don't care about me
as much as you cared about him.
This
This is way too intense.
What?
On top of everything else
I'm going through, um
Okay, I'm sorry. Come on.
I'm sorry, but I, um
I think I think maybe
we shouldn't do this anymore.
So that's just it? It's
This is over?
It It just doesn't make sense right now.
Okay.
When is it gonna make sense?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Um
[CRYING SOFTLY]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I just think my neck
looks weird, don't you?
No, I think your neck looks great.
No, it doesn't. It's fine.
It's fine. I just
It's not your fault. You're so talented.
I'm just I'm not photogenic.
I look much better, like, in real life.
Well, I think you're so pretty in person.
And I think you look so pretty
in the photo.
But I'm sorry.
I should have asked you
before I put it up here.
Yeah. Okay.
Hey, Bree. Congratulations.
I mean, your work is so impressive.
You must be so proud of yourself.
And how are you doing
after what we've discussed?
Feel any better after you got some sleep?
No. No, I don't feel better.
I feel like he needs to be stopped.
I see.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Anyway
Hi, I'm I'm Bree's mom, Mary.
Oh! Nice to meet you.
I'm Marianne.
Oh, I love your accent.
- Grazie. Thank you.
- Get some water?
[MARY] Okay.
Bree, I don't need water.
- Who is that?
- She's a teacher.
So why didn't you introduce me?
It's It's complicated.
Do you not want me to meet people?
Because I've been here for a while
and I haven't really met anyone.
No, no, I want you to meet people, okay?
Here. Um
- This is my best friend, Lucy.
- Hi.
- This is my mom.
- Hi!
It's so nice to meet you. I've
I've heard so much about you.

- Am I embarrassing you?
- No.
No, not at all.
It doesn't really seem like
you want me here.
That's not true. I'm
I'm so happy that you're here.
Then why do you look so sad?
I feel like I should go over there.
Don't. Leave it.

she was that you were coming.
I doubt that. I'm obviously
making her uncomfortable.
No, no, you're not.
I-I promise you, you're not.

gotten to know her that well,
but you should because she's

the best person I've ever met.
She's my best friend,
and I know her better than anyone,
and I-I promise you she's not
embarrassed of you, okay?

You know Bree better
than you know anyone?
She's the best person you've ever met?
No, Stephen, I was just
saying that because

I think now is the perfect time
to tell Bree about you and Evan.
- Let's go get her.
- No, Ste Please.
Please do not do that, okay?
She's already really upset.
It's just It's not the right time, okay?
- Then when do you want to tell her?
- I don't know.
Not right now, okay?
Just Stephen, if you just
give me the tape back,
I will tell her, I promise, okay?
Just
I'll tell her right after this,
or whenever you want.
You are so bad at this.
- What?
- What's the plan? What was the plan?
- There's no plan.
