Tell Me Lies (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

Don't Go Wasting Your Emotion

Pippa told me she saw you
and Diana together.
I just want to move forward with you
and just have a clean slate.
I am done looking like a fucking idiot.
You fucked my best friend.
This is it for us.
You've been lying to Lucy all year.
- You've been lying to her for months.
- What?
About Macy.
Hiding the fact that
your boyfriend's brother
may have been the reason she died?
That would really hurt her.
Watching Drew go on with his life
like nothing happened
is getting really hard to ignore.
He ran you guys off the road.
I can't stop thinking about it.
Lucy's hating on Drew.
I don't want him to start spiraling.
I don't know what reality
you're living in, dude,
but your girlfriend's texting someone
else right in front of your face,
and you're worried about Lucy.
- Sorry, what?
- Is Lucy mad at me?
Are you worried Pippa
told her or something?
- Pippa doesn't know about the accident.
- Wrigley told Pippa.
I wouldn't trust him
with everything anymore, you know.
Wrigley.
Wake up.
Hey, I need a favor.
Would you have lunch with me
and my dad in, like, an hour?
He was in Manhattan for a business trip.
He just texted.
He's driving up now.
Hell yeah. I'm so good with dads.
Hey.
Mija.
This is Wrigley, my boyfriend.
Wrigley, pleasure to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you, too.
Well, you look good.
They just made Wrigley the captain
of the football team next year.
Oh!
Yeah, there are a lot of guys
who could've done it.
He's being modest.
I can't believe it.
Yesterday I was taking you
to kindergarten,
and then you move out.
Kindergarten Pippa must've been funny.
Queen of the five-year-olds?
It wasn't really like that.
Ah, come on, I'm sure you were
the ringleader from the jump.
What was she like back home?
Pippa always had a big heart.
Since she was a little girl,
she just wants everybody to be happy.
I can totally I can,
I can definitely see that from her.
Do you have siblings?
Yeah, my brother.
He goes to school here, actually.
Good, good.
You know you always have a friend.
Wrigley has a lot of friends.
What about you?
Yeah, I have friends.
And they're nice to you?
Yeah, Dad.
Obviously, my friends are nice to me.
Yeah, everyone loves Pippa.
Okay, well,
it was a pleasure meeting you, Wrigley.
- Thanks for the ride.
- Mm-hmm.
And thanks for the lunch.
It was awesome.
Um
I'm close.
Yeah, me too, Wrigley.
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
- Hey.
- Hmm?
What were you and your dad
talking about, at the end there?
Oh, nothing. It was just,
like, random family stuff.
You seemed kind of funny a couple times.
We weren't talking about you.
Promise.
- Alright.
- Okay?
But I would like my performance review.
Okay, I'll ask.
- I'm gonna shower.
- Okay.
Hey, um
I think I'm gonna stay
at my place tonight.
Aw, okay, are you sure?
Yeah, you have practice in the morning,
and I can never fall asleep
after you leave.
Right, that's cool.
But I'll miss you.
See you at the fair tomorrow.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Is Lucy not here?
She's sleeping over
at Stephen's tonight.
Oh, surprising.
What you been up to?
Not much.
Bree's not home,
it's too quiet over there.
You're literally incapable
of being alone.
Movie night?
How'd your date go?
I'm not even sure that was a date.
What did you do?
Um got a drink.
And I guess at the end,
I did make out with her, so
Wow, you're worse than our guy friends.
Did you ask her out, or did she ask
Oh, my God, with all of the questions.
Honestly, I, I don't even know
if I'm into it, really.
Okay.
I should make a doctor's appointment.
I need to get my shots for India.
When do you think I should?
What?
Just want to, you know,
sort out my flights and stuff,
make sure we can still
see each other this summer.
All I know
is that you cannot beat being right
across campus from each other,
so I think we should
take advantage of it now.
I am so
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I love
fucking you.
When, uh, when do you start
your internship?
Still in flux.
Well, didn't you do that interview
back in October?
I didn't get that one.
When did you find out?
I don't know, a couple months ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
I, I don't know. Honestly, it's, it's
I didn't think about it.
Don't make it a thing.
I'm not, I'm just saying
you can talk to me.
You don't have to feel weird about it.
I didn't say I felt weird.
Well, you didn't tell me
how you felt about it at all.
Lucy, I, I have to study.
Because you are trying
to bait me with your snobbery.
Is it embarrassing that I like
this movie in a non-ironic way?
I find that rather fascinating.
I fucking love this movie
in a non-ironic way.
This movie blew my fucking mind
in high school.
I was like, okay, when does
this phase of life start?
When do guys start
professing their love to me,
and, and, you know,
writing me love letters?
Wait, guys weren't already
professing their love to you
in high school, what?
Please, I was the last one to get boobs.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Pippa, you spend
more time here than I do.
Yeah, she's my surrogate roommate.
What are you guys watching?
- Ever After.
- Oh.
Come on, couples do not make
that much eye contact in real life.
Well, he is obsessed with her.
Yeah, but no guy acts like that
unless he's having a nervous breakdown.
Or if he's on the back foot.
Obviously, my experience is limited.
It's just what I see.
What do you mean, back foot?
You know, like whichever person
in the relationship
is losing at the moment.
Why does someone have to be losing?
Someone always has
the upper hand, that's just fact.
Whoa, crazy.
Actually, I guess I can see Wrigley
just staring intensely into your eyes.
I could see him high-fiving you
after he comes.
Yeah, no, no, sometimes I pour
a whole bucket of Gatorade
on his head, you know.
Just like, sports!
Um, yeah.
Do you want to go to
the spring fair with me?
I'm supposed
to meet Wrigley there later.
Oh, food trucks and a cappella.
- Come on.
- A cappella.
- I don't know if that's my vibe.
- It's gonna be really fun.
Right, so you're in?
I'll join you guys in a bit.
- Okay.
- Cool.
Cool.
Pippa!
What'd your dad say, I'm in?
You were right, he loved you.
When did you meet her dad?
He came in for lunch yesterday.
Yo, Wrigley.
- Congrats, bro.
- Hey, thanks, Sullivan.
Charlie, you should come
to the party tomorrow.
It's Wrigley themed
because he made captain!
Maybe.
Hey, I, um, I think I'm gonna head home.
What, and sit at home
and stare at your laptop?
We can finish Ever After later.
Ugh, you're watching Ever After?
Ironically.
Stay, please?
Fine, yeah, I guess I can't say no
to the captain's girlfriend.
Oh yeah? Okay.
Hey, I could make you one.
I'm just here to flirt
with the bartender.
I'll take one.
Shh.
Bree, three pitchers to table three.
Mm.
Duty calls.
- Good luck.
- Thanks, I need it.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Look, I know things got weird,
and I'm sorry about all that.
No, I, I should be apologizing.
I was, I was an asshole.
I was too.
But I was an asshole first.
Yeah, but it's more out
of character for me, so
No seriously, I would love
to just put all of that behind us.
I'm so obsessed with Bree.
That makes me really happy.
You and Stephen seem good.
- Yeah.
- Oh boy.
No, we're good, things are good.
- Spit it out.
- We're fine.
What's wrong, Lucy?
I'd rather you complain about Stephen
than deal with you walking around
looking sour all day.
Okay, I, I feel ridiculous
even asking this,
because Stephen and I are
nowhere near there yet,
so that is not why I'm asking, but,
did Stephen
Stephen and Diana, like, say
"I love you" to each other?
You ask the worst questions.
Uh yeah.
Yeah, they said it
to each other all the time.
Guys, some guy just asked me
to make him a margarita.
- That's weird.
- This is a beer tent.
Yeah.
Be right back, guys.
How much longer are you gonna be there?
Why don't we just meet for dinner?
There's food here,
and I already told Pippa
that I'd meet her and Wrigley.
I really don't wanna go
to the Wrigley show.
Everyone's just gonna be sucking
his dick over this captain thing.
Isn't he like your best friend?
I think you can handle being happy
for him for one minute,
unless it really makes you
that uncomfortable.
It doesn't.
Great, then come meet us.
I'll text you where to meet me.
Wrigley! What's up, man?
Yeah, you too.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Who was that girl?
Oh, just some girl.
Mm-hmm.
What the shit?
Don't be such a bitch.
The only way that dude gets laid is
he puts on an owl costume
and he fucks with you.
- Whatever, alright.
- Yeah, fuck you.
Let's go see what's over there.
- Okay.
- What?
Sorry.
Now, let's hear it
for the Baird College a cappella,
the Aca Owls!
Let's go to the food truck, yeah?
Get something to eat.
Yeah.
- Woo!
- Woo!
Yeah!
Did you hate having
to go to that with me?
No, it was fine.
If you didn't want people
seeing us together,
you could've just said that.
Okay, I don't have time for whatever
hormonal drama this is about.
Oh, I'm on my period again.
- Yeah.
- Nice.
You tensed up so much
by that stage, I could feel it.
I felt it.
Lucy, anyone would think that's weird
to make out in front of someone's ex.
You should think that's weird,
if you were fuckin' normal.
Well, sorry, I don't care
what Diana fucking thinks.
I didn't realize I was supposed to.
You dragged me there on purpose.
You are literally so paranoid.
How could I, how could I even do that?
You never told me Diana sang a cappella.
You wanted her to see us!
You, you clearly did.
I think you should worry a lot less
about Diana's feelings,
and maybe start worrying
about mine a little more.
You think she'd keep your secret
the way I am for you?
'Cause I think if she found out
about you and Macy,
she'd be so fucking worried
about ruining her perfect little life,
she'd probably report you immediately.
Sorry, you're right.
Your feelings are the only ones
that matter to me.
I hate it when we fight.
I know.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Reading.
I got pretty drunk at the fair.
I'm bored.
You're so needy.
I thought you were going
to Wrigley's tonight.
I don't really feel like it.
Sometimes I just need a break, you know.
- A break?
- Hmm.
From being Wrigley's girlfriend?
But it's such a prestigious position.
Shut up!
Shut up.
It's okay, we all need
a little attention sometimes.
Whatever.
Let's just finish Ever After.
Ironically?
- Do you think I'm embarrassing?
- No!
No, I was just fucking with you.
Okay.
I do not think you're embarrassing.
Do you think you're embarrassing?
What do you mean?
Why do you care so much
what people think?
I don't.
Doesn't everyone, to some degree?
Sure.
It's just sometimes I don't know
what version of you I'm gonna get.
There's a version of you around Wrigley,
there's a version of you
around your girlfriends.
Why are you being like this?
Don't come fishing for things
if you don't want me to be honest.
I'm not fishing for anything.
Are you sure?
Who was that girl you were talking to?
Her name is Kelly.
- Have you hooked up with her?
- Not yet.
You don't like that?
Is this okay?
Yeah.
Oh, my God. Oh, I'm so close.
Oh, I'm gonna come.
- What are you doing?
- I'm having an orgasm.
No, you're not. You're not.
It's been, like, four seconds.
I'm good, but I'm not that good.
I just, um
I just wanted you
to know that I liked it.
I knew you liked it.
Um I don't know how to do this.
I'm so full of shit.
I haven't had as much experience
as you probably think.
You mean, with girls?
I mean with anyone.
I wasn't cool in high school.
I basically spent all my time on AIM.
Same.
I traveled so much for dance,
it was the only way
I could keep up with my friends.
I didn't have friends.
Nobody ever liked me
before I came to college.
- I doubt that's true.
- It is.
I went to the same small school
with the same people
and, you know,
everybody knew each other,
and I guess someone decided
I was a loser in the first grade,
and it just stuck, I guess.
Kids are brutal.
Yeah.
And then this
stupid thing
happened my junior year.
It just really fucked with my head.
What was it?
I met this guy online,
and I thought we really connected.
He was super into me.
I, I just never felt anything like it.
I'd never gotten attention like that.
And so we chatted for months,
and then we planned
to meet up in person one day,
but he never showed up,
because he wasn't real.
What?
He was these girls in my class,
fucking with me.
Yeah, they printed out
all the conversations
and then spread them
around the whole school.
It got so bad that I had to transfer.
But then, of course, you know,
I'm like the new girl senior year.
Everybody knew each other, so,
I was invisible, you know.
I'm sorry.
I just wanted to come here
and be somebody
people actually thought
was cool, and fuckable.
That's certainly a goal.
I never
I never thought I'd get
a guy like Wrigley.
I met him when
I toured campus last year,
and honestly
I just, like, tricked him
into thinking I was awesome.
I lost my virginity on a couch
in a common room last spring.
Wait, when did you hook up
with Wrigley for the first time?
On a couch in
the common room last spring.
He doesn't even know.
Hello?
Hi, Stephen, how are you?
Um, fine, how are you?
It's getting warmer, thank God.
Can't believe it's almost summer.
Uh, yeah.
Hey, um, did Sadie tell you
she got into boarding school?
No, no, she didn't.
- When did that happen?
- Yesterday.
It'll be a good opportunity for her.
Yeah, that's, uh,
that's, that's exciting.
It was a bit of a surprise
for me, obviously.
Um, honey, have you thought at all
about where you're gonna live next year?
Um
I was just gonna do the dorms again.
Right, here's the thing.
I wasn't planning on paying
for boarding school.
She got financial aid,
but there's still all this other stuff
I'm gonna have to cover.
So, uh, I don't think I'm gonna be able
to pay for your housing,
but I know you were planning
on working this summer anyways.
I was planning on interning. Um
A lot of those aren't paid.
You're smart.
I'm sure you'll find a job somewhere.
Yeah, I, I need to intern
so that I can get
a decent job after college.
That's how, that's how it works.
Well, I don't know
what you want me to say.
Would've been fine if she'd just
stayed at the school she's in.
Maybe you can ask
your father to help you.
I mean, he was so helpful
with Sadie's application.
I know you want the best for Sadie.
I can't wait till
she's out of that house.
So you can rot in there alone.
I know you feel that way.
Yeah, shit, hi.
That was fucked up yesterday.
Don't have to look at me like that.
I'm not here to yell at you,
although I should.
Just wanted to make sure you're okay.
Me?
You made out with your freshman
in front of me.
Was that a cry for help?
No.
It wasn't a move on my part.
So whose move was it?
Look regardless of everything,
- I still care about you.
- I'm fine.
You don't have to look out for me.
I know you better than that.
Why do you look so miserable?
Uh, some stuff with my mom.
Oh, what happened?
She's not paying
for my housing next year.
I was gonna do a unpaid internship,
but now I can't afford to.
She's punishing me.
You can't let her win.
You just have to make it
through one more year.
And then you never have
to speak to her again.
Why are you all the way over there?
I can't.
Seriously?
Oh, my God.
You mean it.
Yeah.
You'll fuck women
just because your hand is tired,
but you're faithful to her?
I didn't think I could hate you
any more than I already did.
Wrigley, Wrigley, Wrigley, Wrigley!
Oh, my God, what is this?
Oh, my God.
I look so confused.
Oh captain, my captain.
Is that Parker King?
Is that Parker King? Get over here!
Hey, man, congrats.
Thanks, dude.
We gotta do some shots.
I'm not, I'm not staying long.
Quit being a fucking loser. Let's go!
This tiny kitchen's
not big enough for me.
Hey, um, I don't see any chasers.
Do you wanna go find some?
- You're so handsome.
- Yo!
There's my guy.
Ah!
- Come here.
- We still got a couple.
So, Drew.
How you been?
Wrigley's not paying attention.
You don't have to do the whole thing.
What whole thing?
Don't watch that, fucking masochist.
I don't care.
She's hot.
She wanted you, come on.
I know she did.
You know, Wrigley
cock-blocked you though, right?
It was him and Pippa,
putting shit in, in Bree's head.
They were worried
you weren't, like, stable enough
for her after everything?
They said that to Bree?
Not explicitly,
but that was the, the messaging.
What the fuck is wrong with them?
Promise not to repeat something?
Wrigley fucked Diana.
It was a while ago,
but he hid it from me.
What? Why do you put up with that?
He's Wrigley.
I don't know, see him on campus,
everyone kissing his ass,
I didn't really know that side of him.
Yeah, yeah.
Thanks for looking out for me.
Of course. You needed someone
who gave a shit, Drew.
I better find Lucy,
but let's do a shot later?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Stop watching.
- We should do another one.
- Okay.
That was such a big one.
That was a really big one.
Hey, Drew.
Did I say the wrong thing or something?
Why, are you worried I seem unstable?
No, why would you ask that?
Why are you wasting
your time talking to me?
She's doing you a favor
because she gives a shit.
Lucy!
Don't fucking talk
to her like that, okay.
Lucy, it's fine.
What the fuck?
Come on, bro!
- Fuck off, I got it.
- Wrigley, Wrigley!
Your brother doesn't know
how to tap a keg?
Alright, I got it, I got it, I got it.
- You need some help, dude?
- I got it.
- Drew, come here.
- Step back.
Drew, stop!
Come on.
It's easy.
Just gotta know how to jiggle it.
It's like flushing a toilet.
Wrigley, Wrigley!
Your meathead friends
are really impressed, man.
I'm gonna go find Stephen.
Surprise.
You see that shit?
Yeah.
You're not having fun, are you?
Come here.
Let's leave.
You wanna get outta here?
Let's get outta here.
No, no, this is your night.
We can't leave.
I don't care.
I'm not gonna have fun
if you're not having fun.
I'm not having a bad time.
He's just like a different person.
I don't even,
I don't even recognize him anymore.
Hey, it'll be okay.
Some things just need a lot of time.
You're amazing, you know that?
I love you.
There you are.
Hey, I can't find Stephen.
Have you seen him anywhere?
Hey, I'm sorry Drew's
treating you like that.
He's a dick.
Just leave it. He's going through stuff.
He's ruining Wrigley's whole night.
Why do you keep defending him?
- I'm not.
- No, you are.
It's like just 'cause
he's Wrigley's brother,
you let him walk all over you.
Okay, just stop.
Come here.
- Come here.
- Hey, what, what is it?
I just can't fucking take this anymore.
I need to tell you something.
But you need to swear
you will never repeat it.
Okay, what is it?
- Swear.
- Okay, I swear!
Drew was there the night
Macy had her accident.
What? What, what do you mean?
He was driving,
he was coming the other way,
and he swerved, and he almost got hit.
And then he panicked, and he drove off.
How, how long have you known this?
A while.
I wanted to tell you so badly.
Why, why didn't you?
I couldn't, I swore to Wrigley.
I don't, I don't know, I hate this.
It's been so horrible
not being able to talk
to anybody about this.
Come here.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you for telling me.
That's why I've been going
so easy on Drew.
He's a fucking mess.
Wait, wait, so
you feel sorry for him?
He basically killed our friend.
What?
You said he ran her off the road.
No, no.
He swerved, she almost hit him.
But how do you know that?
Because that's what he told Wrigley.
What, and you believe him?
Macy was a really responsible person.
You really think
she'd just be driving recklessly?
- Macy was drunk.
- Drew was drunk.
He's a wreck,
and Stephen's constantly having
to bail him out of all those meltdowns.
Stephen knows, okay.
He's known the whole time.
He threatened me not to tell you.
He didn't want me to tell you,
because that's what he does.
He hoards information,
and he waits to use it against people.
He doesn't do that.
He threatened me, Lucy.
He threatened me!
He's a really, really bad guy.
Do you feel like you have
to stay with him?
Oh, my God, stop.
I wouldn't be with him if I didn't want
to be, so just stop it.
I just don't want you to get hurt.
Stephen isn't going to hurt me.
He can't hurt me, okay.
You have no idea.
I could hurt him so badly
if I wanted to.
I am not the person
you should be worried about.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Been looking for you.
You look very serious.
Uh, just following up
on some leads for jobs this summer.
It's not that exciting.
What about one of the internships?
Let's talk about something else.
I have a fuckin' headache.
Hey.
You guys have fun last night?
That party was not worth this hangover.
I had a great time.
Your teammates love you
so much, it's so cute.
Yeah, I love those guys.
Seriously though, congrats on captain.
That's fucking amazing. It's so cool.
- Thanks, dude.
- Yeah.
Alright, I'm still drunk.
I'm gonna go have
10 to 15 pounds of pancakes.
Good morning.
- Good morning!
- Later.
What the fuck was that?
- What?
- You just fangirled all over him.
No, I did not.
You sound crazy.
- Yeah, you did.
You sounded like
fuckin' Pippa or something.
That is not attractive.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Shit, Lucy, Lucy,
wait, wait, wait, Lucy.
- Don't fucking talk to me like that.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I don't know what this weird
jealousy thing is about Wrigley,
but it's getting a little pathetic.
It's not jealousy.
Then what is it? Why did you
just talk to me like that?
You've been really unfair to me lately,
which I cannot understand
seeing as how much
I'm holding for you right now.
I know, I'm sorry, you're right.
I'm so sorry.
So then what's, what's happening?
What's going on with you two?
I don't know,
just the whole world, like,
bends over for him,
and it just gets to me sometimes.
It just gets to me.
Don't, don't you do that too?
You do anything Wrigley needs.
He comes to you for help
with Drew, and you help.
That was for me.
Wrigley and Drew,
they get to fuck up all they want
and just walk away.
I never get to walk away.
I'm sorry, that's,
that's what all this is about.
It's about the Drew thing.
That's a big part of it, yeah.
It must be killing you,
covering for him.
Yeah.
It's made me such an asshole,
I'm so sorry, it's not you.
- No.
- It's not you.
I don't know why you keep
protecting him.
- You know why.
- No, I don't.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Nobody knows that you were in that car.
Drew doesn't even know.
- He should not
- Shh.
be here, he should not be here.
It's fucking with your head.
Okay, this is making me
a little sick to talk about.
Can we not talk about this?
You're absolutely right
about everything.
He should not be here.
No.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Okay.
I'm headed to Wrigley's.
Have fun!
Thanks.
Did Lucy and Stephen
sexile Charlie last night?
Oh no, I think Charlie has a girl over.
Shit, I'm gonna come.
I'm gonna come.
Did you come?
No, not this time.
- Hey!
- Hey.
Hi.
Hey.
So, the other night was great,
