(electronic music playing)
- Have you guys seen Billy?
- Nope.
(beatboxing)
Natalie!
Where you been, girl?
(laughing)
Hey... Have you seen Billy?
- Uh... No. Come have
a drink with me!
- You know I don't drink.
- It's never too late to start.
You've got
college to think about.
- I've got sleep to think about.
- Come on! Summer's almost over.
I mean, this is our last
high school party ever!
(all cheering)
Oh, my bad...
...Billy?
Natalie! Uh...
Natalie wait, I can explain!
- Really?
- Well, no... I'm sorry, OK?
- No, it's not OK.
It's the opposite of OK.
- I didn't mean to, she just...
- What, she assaulted you? Do
you want me to call the cops?
- Look, it just happened,
all right?
- Why did you even want
to be with me?
- I've never dated a smart girl
before, only hot ones.
- Good God!
- I didn't mean to, I...
Can you just...
- Thanks.
- I always got your back.
(Alexa): That's her.
- Are you sure
she's the right girl?
She is perfect.
She is pretty.
- Ms. Natalie Kellison
is just the right bait
to catch our little fish.
- Oh, I thought you were
going to call?
Sorry, battery died... again.
Oh. You need a new phone.
I need a new life.
- You, uh, wanna talk about it?
(sighing)
- Hey, Natalie.
- Didn't realize it was a date night.
- No, no, we were just, uh...
- I really don't need to know.
Nat...
(crying quietly)
- (Nikki): Did Billy
call you yet?
- My phone's dead.
Hopefully, so is he.
- Dude, that kid
was training wheels.
You're going to be getting
so much action in college.
Ivy League action.
- Hey, guys are the last thing
on my mind right now.
I just want to get
out of this town.
I feel.
So, how's
the old man taking it,
you leaving and all?
- He'll be fine.
He's got his girlfriend.
- Jenny seems cool. Why you gotta
be hating on her all the time?
- I don't know,
she's just...
...Not your mom?
I miss her so much.
I know.
- She'd be so stoked
to see you right now,
following in her footsteps.
Speaking of which...
Check this out.
- Dude, I don't read Latin.
- Dude, it's Greek.
Delta Psi Beta.
- A sorority? - Only the most
prestigious one in the country.
- Why would you wanna hang out with a
bunch of whack-ass prepster girls?
My mom was a Delta Psi.
- Still...
- I mean, my mom used to say
that her sorority sisters
were closer to her
an her own family.
- Going away,
I'm going away
It's been good being home
but I'm moving on
(mouthing)
And I know that it's been
So long
Yeah, I've got this fear
but I can't face it here
Oh, this time
I won't look back
I won't look back
- Check the glove box.
Sweet!
Awesome...
- I got myself one too so we can
do that video chat thing.
...If you want.
- Maybe.
- If you're not too cool.
- Thanks, Dad!
(cheering)
Charming.
This is it, huh?
This is it!
Oh, leave it, Dad,
I'll do it later.
So, who's your roommate?
- Her name's Sophia.
We Skyped.
She seems chill.
I'll be fine, Dad.
I know you will.
Your mom would be
so damn proud.
You think?
- She loved this school.
Really loved the sorority.
- Thanks, Dad -
for everything.
- No speeches.
- Your restraint
is admirable.
- Call me, OK?
I mean, when you have time?
On the new phone.
Going away, I'm going away
It's been good being home
But I'm moving on
And I know that
it's been so long
All right.
Yeah, I've got this fear
but I can't face it here
Oh, this time
I won't look back
I won't look back
- How can you be sure
he'll go for her?
- A little program I acquired.
It's the same algorithms
they use on those
dating sites. Here, look.
They are both into
electronic music, hiking...
- Doesn't necessarily mean
love connection.
They've both lost parents.
- That'll help.
- I know.
- Roomie!
- Hey!
Sophia...
(laughing)
- Ahh!
- OK...
- Oh, is this your mom?
- Yeah, it is...
Oh, she's beautiful.
You almost kind of look alike.
- Oh, uh, thanks...
- OK, let's go check out
the real estate!
- You don't wanna unpack first?
- Later. There are boys out there.
Eco club? Please!
- Do you have an objection
to cleaning up the planet?
- Hey, I recycle.
- They're cute.
- Omega Mu frat boys.
We can do better.
- What's wrong with
a fraternity? I mean,
I'm pledging a sorority.
- Me too!
- Which one?
- Delta Psi.
- Me too!
- Really?
- Why are you so surprised?
- You just don't strike me
as the type.
- Well, what type?
- You know...
Super status-conscious, over-
privileged rich girl. Like me!
(laughing)
- Well, I'm a legacy.
Same. My sister was Delta Psi.
My mom.
- Huh. Guess they must
look at those
roommate surveys
after all.
- OK, so what was wrong
with the frat boys?
- It's all about
which fraternity.
Omega Mu is strictly
business class.
Got it.
It's true, they are.
- (Sophia): Ahh...
It's beautiful.
- OK, this is one of the oldest
buildings in the city.
I'm talking
Founding Fathers old.
Cool, I guess.
Come on! Let's go.
Hi...
Hi! I'm Sophia.
This dress feels weird.
- It looks stunning on you.
I'm so glad it fit.
- I think the last time I wore
one was my confirmation.
I think I was 12.
- You're Catholic?
My mom was.
She's not anymore?
She, actually, um...
...passed away.
- Oh, my God...
How long ago?
I was in tenth grade.
- Good evening, ladies. I'm
Leanna, head of the rush committee.
- Sophia Davis.
- Monica's little sister?
- Guilty.
- And... you are?
Natalie Kellison.
- Natalie's
an architecture major.
Very talented.
- Really?
My parents have
a Frank Lloyd Wright home.
Oh, wow! That's impressive.
I mean, I'm more
of an I.M. Pei gal, but...
Well... Have fun.
Well, she hates me!
- (Sophia): Don't be silly.
You're charming.
Awkward charming, but still.
Thanks.
- There's the girl
we really need to impress.
Alexa Cooper,
sorority president
Her father's a congressman.
- Well, I mean,
should we go talk to her?
You never approach Alexa!
OK? She approaches you.
Mm-hmm... Oh, hi.
- Alexa Cooper.
- I know. I mean, I...
Sorry. I'm Natalie.
Natalie Kellison. Freshman.
School of Architecture.
2200 on your SATs.
- 2160...
- Well, I was rounding.
But either way,
rather impressive.
- I'm good at taking tests.
- We'll have to see about that.
- What else do you know about me?
- Everything!
Everything to do with your
application, that is.
I make it a point to review
legacies personally,
and your mother
was a remarkable woman.
Successful architect,
charity fundraiser...
Big shoes to fill.
- Yeah, they are.
- Enjoy the rest
of your evening.
Thanks.
That was weird...
- Natalie, you've made it
to the next round.
Tomorrow night, midnight.
OK, girls
Time to get down to our
couture bad selves
- Ouch!
- Aw, it's perfect! Try it on.
- I couldn't afford
to rent a dress like this.
- Don't worry about it.
Today's little
shopping excursion is on me.
- No, I couldn't.
- To be precise, it's on
my evil ex-stepfather.
He hurt my mom so bad,
he's still paying for it.
- OK...
- Super cute.
You look amazing!
- Yeah?
- Oh, my God!
You have to wear that.
- You think?
- Yes.
- (Alexa): This sorority
is our family.
That you are
standing here today
means that we see
something in you.
A certain potential.
Few have it,
and even fewer
are able to realize it.
In order to become
one of our sisters,
you will have to prove to us
you have what it takes
to realize that potential.
As you stand here
in the darkness,
look deep into your heart,
into your soul,
and ask yourself:
Do I have what it takes?
I took you to the edge
I told you to get undressed
And you did
Because I told you
And I held you until morning
With nothing
In between us
We are not strangers anymore
I took you deep inside
A candle of your light
Sit down.
Your time has come.
Are you ready
to face your challenge?
Uh...
Yours is a quest, for you
and you alone.
You may not share
these details with anyone.
Not your friends,
not your family.
No one. Do you so swear?
Uh, yeah, I...
- You say, "I swear. "
- I swear.
- Now, open it
and read it aloud.
"I, Natalie Kellison, will... "
Read it.
- "I, Natalie Kellison, will
seduce a young man
of the sorority's choosing. "
- I don't think I can do...
- Silence.
You do not speak,
you do not ask questions.
You have until noon tomorrow
to accept this quest.
Do so, and you become
one of our sisters.
Don't...
...and you'll live forever
in obscurity.
(Sophia): Come on. Spill.
- They said not to tell anyone.
- Mm. Anyone outside
of the sorority.
- They want me
to seduce someone.
- Oh, that's so much better than mine.
- I don't know if I can do it.
- Of course you can.
Who's the guy? Or is it a girl?
- It's a guy, but I don't
know who it is yet.
- Doesn't matter.
Guys are all the same.
Little smile, little skin, boom!
You're in.
- I don't know, it's just
not really my style.
Besides, I don't know how far
they want me to go.
Nat, hello! This is college.
You're bound to have
some random hook-ups,
this one just gets you
the golden ticket.
- Ready for your
future to begin?
Sumner Williams.
Sophomore, varsity track team.
Here, I'm sending it to you.
- Ugh... My ex
was a jock.
- You don't have to marry him.
What exactly do I have to do?
- Get him to notice you, get him
to go out with you, and then...
- And then what?
- Take him back to your room and rock his world.
- So you're saying I have to sleep with him?
- We're Delta Psi, not the Bunny
Ranch. You do whatever you want,
just make sure he's into you.
- Are we good?
- We're good.
Here's his class schedule.
He'll be getting
out of econ soon.
Go get him, little sister.
(phone ringing)
- Well, look at you,
all 21st-century!
- Can you see me OK?
- Yeah, Dad. What's up?
- Oh, no, nothing,
I just had to try this out.
Pretty cool, right?
- It's cool.
- I got Jenny one too,
but she's not too crazy
about this whole video thing.
- Yeah, well, the picture isn't always flattering.
- Nat... You know, someday you're
going to have to give her a chance.
Hey, look, Dad, I gotta go.
- I'll see you soon.
- Bye.
Uh, excuse me...
- Can you help me? I'm looking
for the Bregman Building.
Breg... Bregman,
that's across campus.
So you go past
the admin building,
you turn left, walk for about
30, 40 yards, and it'll be...
- You know, I'm really bad with
directions, do you think you could show me?
- I've got a class...
- Please? I'd really appreciate it.
- Yeah... Yeah, I can...
This way.
Thanks.
- (Natalie): How do you
like school?
(Sumner): It's all right.
- What's your major?
- Mechanical engineering.
- Really?
I'm in architecture.
Got something
in common already.
- I'm actually more into the
industrial applications of things, so...
Anyway, that's Bregman up there,
I've really gotta go. I'm sorry.
- Uh, wait.
I didn't even get your name.
- Sumner. I'm...
- Well, thanks, Sumner.
I'd have been lost
without you.
But hey,
can I make it up to you?
Maybe we can go out
to coffee or something?
Uh, sure...
- Why don't you put
your number in here?
OK...
- Ah, this'll do the trick!
- That'll turn a trick.
Isn't that the idea?
- Thanks for offering, but I think
I'll just go with my own stuff.
- OK. Um... Well, you have to at
least let me do your makeup.
Oh, um...
- You never go into battle
without war paint.
- Ugh... I don't know if I can
go through with this.
- Look, it's not like they're
gonna be in the room watching,
OK? Just get the guy back here, and do
as much as you feel comfortable doing.
- None of this
feels comfortable.
Just have fun, OK?
- (Sumner): I like
to hike a lot.
No way! I love hiking.
You look different.
I don't usually wear makeup.
Hmm. You should.
You look good.
Not that you didn't look good
before, it's just, what I'm...
I get it.
Thanks.
- So, do you have
any brothers or sisters?
No, just me. You?
Yeah, sister. Danielle.
She actually works at the
school. She's a career counsellor.
Good person to know.
- I wouldn't be going here
if it weren't for her.
- I get a big break on tuition.
- Yeah, must be nice.
So she's older?
She's 12 years older.
- That's a pretty big gap.
Why'd your folks wait so long?
I don't know.
You never asked them?
- They, um... They died
when I was pretty young.
It was a car accident.
Oh... I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, uh... Danielle
pretty much raised me.
- So this is you.
- You don't live in the dorms?
No, with my sister.
- This... This was fun.
- We should do it again.
Yeah, OK. Yeah.
...Good night.
Uh... 'Night.
Good night.
You call that seduction?
What? It was a first date.
- Ugh, God.
It was like watching
Lady and the Tramp.
- You were watching?
- Of course we were watching!
The Delta Psis are fierce.
We get what we want,
and we get it when we want it.
You're going to have
to show us more.
A lot more.
- What do you
want me to do?
- Whatever you have to do to
make him want you.
Need you.
Lose sleep over you.
You have one more chance
to prove yourself.
One.
So, you actually like the guy?
- I mean, I didn't
expect to, but...
Yeah, I kinda do.
Is he into you?
- I mean, there were
moments I thought so,
but then...
I don't know.
- Look, you don't exactly
have the luxury of a long
courtship, here.
OK? You need to close the deal.
- Well, I'm not just going
to jump into bed with him.
I mean, even if I could.
- You can, and you should.
Or at least some major making out. You need
to show these girls what you're made of.
What am I made of?
- Nat, you're, like, one of the
coolest chicks I've ever met,
and I roll with some
pretty cool peeps.
- I just can't imagine my mom
doing anything like this.
She was so... respectable.
She was also young.
- I guess...
- You know,
it'd be a shame if I had
to join without you.
- You got in?
- Delta Psi forever!
(Sophia laughing)
- Hey.
- Hi, little bro.
- How you doin'?
- How was your date?
- Good enough to get me
another one tonight.
Look at you!
- Yeah...
I hate to ask again, but...
- No, no, it's no problem.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I will pay you back.
Yeah, I know you will.
Have fun.
- I will try to have fun.
Have a good day.
- OK, bye!
- The first time we met,
we both had the feeling
This could be it
This could be for all time
Now with regret
I can't see the reason
Just why I'm not yours
And you still aren't mine
Yes, I've been waiting for you
for all of my life
So lucky that you are here
And you've been waiting for me
for all of your life
Our only mistake
is the fear
Oh...
- Hey... What are you doing here?
- I'm so sorry.
Sophia gave me her key.
It's midnight movie night
at Delta Psi and she was on
dessert duty. May I?
Sure.
- Brownies...
- Double chocolate fudge.
- I love fudge.
- Who doesn't?
- Here, have another.
- Oh, thank you!
- Oh, I'm good.
- You sure?
Chocolate's a total turn-on.
Well... You two have fun.
(muttering)
- Whoa... Did you see that?
- See what?
- Oh, my God, they're
everywhere. Oh, my God!
- What?
- Get off! Get off!
- What are you... What's wrong?
- Hey there, stud!
(all laughing)
- (sister #1): Sit down.
- (sister #2): Have a seat.
(Sumner babbling)
(distorted voices)
What are you guys doing?
What's happening here?
- (sister): Where are
you going, princess?
(Leanna): You sexy beast!
- Stop it! What the hell
is wrong with you?
- That is no way
to talk to your sisters.
Sumner!
Sumner!
(door shutting)
His car's still there...
- (Nat): Leave him alone!
- (sister): All right, shut up.
(door opening)
- Natalie,
you have to see this.
- I've seen enough.
- You have to admit,
it's pretty funny.
- It's pretty messed up,
is what it is.
This'll go viral, for sure.
- You know what I think I might do?
Edit a little bit, add some music...
The brownies.
- You put something
in the brownies.
- She only did what she was
asked to do. Just like you.
- If I had known...
- Forget about him.
Now that you're with us,
you have your pick of the
hottest guy on campus.
Congratulations,
Natalie Kellison.
You are officially
a sister of the Delta Psi Betas.
(applauding)
(sister): Go, girl!
- I didn't know what
they had planned, I swear.
- I thought the brownies
were just for us to party.
Some party.
- Come on, Natalie. Cheer up.
You're a Delta Psi now.
Is it the guy? Is that
what's bothering you?
It doesn't bother you?
Look, when my sister rushed,
she had to run naked
across the football field
during the game.
It's all just stupid fun.
(distorted ringing)
(phone ringing)
- Hi, you've reached Sumner,
leave a message.
(tires screeching)
(horn blaring)
I'm gonna make
you disappear
My anger's growing
Gonna wait until the time
comes for pain
The end is coming now
All I really want
is just to be
Another girl
Pretending to be nice
So dangerous inside
And I won't stop
- All she really wants
is just to be
Another girl
Pretending to be nice
So dangerous inside
And I won't stop
This is the end
Natalie!
It's Sumner...
- What about him?
- There was an accident.
He's dead.
- What? How?
- His car went off the road.
- He didn't have his car.
I saw him leave without it.
- He must have come back.
- Are you sure?
- The cops are just here
talking to the dean.
He was already dead
when they found him.
Oh, my God!
- (Alexa): Natalie,
I'm sorry about Sumner.
- (Natalie): I still
can't believe it.
- It was supposed
to be a harmless prank.
I never imagined things
could go this wrong.
- You should have.
- Yeah, you're right. Of course.
Look, I'm sick about it.
- Why did you even do it?
- I don't know. It's just...
It was stupid.
Look, I hate to have to bring
this up right now,
but it's important that
our stories are straight.
"Stories"?
- If anyone asks, we were all at the house last night.
- Why would I lie?
- As sisters, it's important
that we protect each other.
- I didn't even know
what you guys were doing!
- But you were the only one
calling or texting him.
- Are you threatening me?
- What? No!
No, of course not.
But if this gets out,
I can't promise you
that the other girls
won't blame you to protect
themselves.
As far as anyone else is
concerned, this was an accident.
A tragic accident.
But if it becomes
anything more than that,
we all have a lot to lose.
Yeah, that's... That's him.
My parents...
My parents, um...
- (police officer): These are
your brother's personal effects.
The, uh...
The coroner's report indicated
that he had high levels
of THC and MDMA
in his bloodstream.
That's weed and ecstasy.
- Do you know where he might
have gotten these drugs?
- Sumner ran long distance.
He never touched drugs.
Danny...
Almost everyone tries it
once in a while.
- No, you...
You don't understand.
He always played
everything so safe.
I was trying to get him
to come out of his shell.
Well... Maybe he did.
- No. Not like that.
- Look...
Drugs are a big problem
on campus,
even with all
the ivy on the walls.
If you hear anything,
please give me a call.
Yeah, we will. Thanks.
I'm sorry for your loss.
- (Alexa): There are times
in a sorority
where you're called upon
to make sacrifices.
I'm afraid this is
one of those times.
What do you want me to do?
I'm sorry, Maddy,
but I'm going to have to ask you
to move out of the house.
- You've gotta be kidding.
Why me?
- Well, ours is not
to reason why.
Caitlin will be joining you as well.
I found a great 2-bedroom apartment
right outside of campus. The
truck will be here in one hour.
- This is ridiculous! I'm not moving!
- Excuse me?
- I've done a lot for the
sorority. I've earned living here.
- We've done
a lot for you, too.
Or did you forget about that
little sex tape that we
managed to squash before it
circulated all over campus?
- I mean... It'd be a shame
if it resurfaced.
- You wouldn't.
- Please.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
for the Delta Psis.
Absolutely nothing.
- There you are!
I've been calling you.
I'm not feeling very social.
- Alexa texted us,
she's got good news.
Come on! Get dressed.
Hey!
- Hello, hello!
- Hey!
- So, I know we didn't get off
to the best start,
but a couple of the rooms have
just become available,
and I nominated you both
to get them.
- I thought you had to be at
least a junior to get in here.
- Seniors, mostly, and even then
there's a waiting list.
So why us?
Well, I figured that
it must be hard
living in the dorms,
after everything
that's happened.
You both have shown
such great poise
in dealing with it all.
- The vote was unanimous.
You can move in today!
- But we had to sign a lease
at the dorms.
- Oh, I spoke to
the Dean of Housing.
The Delta Psis do have
some pull around here.
- Oh, that can go in my room.
- Yes.
(Alexa): See? Told you.
Everything's
under control.
- Guess you got
a little more than even.
- Yeah, I feel bad
for Sumner, but...
That bitch
got what she deserved.
- (Aiden): You should
take some time off work.
I need to keep busy.
Is there anything I can...
...do for you?
You know, the funeral...
No.
I'll handle it.
I just want something small.
- I just wish there was
something I could do to help.
You already have.
- Feels like home,
doesn't it?
- It's beautiful.
- I know.
- I trust you're finding
everything to your liking?
- It's beautiful.
- Yeah, it is.
- Well, you guys should
start getting ready.
- For what?
- Hello!
Only the biggest party
of the year!
We co-host with the Alpha Rhos.
- No way! They have, like, some
of the hottest guys on campus.
- Oh, they do indeed.
- I think I'm just gonna lay low.
- Getting out's
gonna be good for you.
I have a car coming here at
8:00. You guys can ride with me.
Get to know each other
a little better.
Let's go, Nat!
It's party time!
(loud dance music playing)
- That girl...
- What?
- I don't know
why I didn't think.
Sumner was out with
that girl that night.
Natalie. Here she is.
So you think it's her?
- I'm sure as hell
gonna find out.
Mm-hmm. Danny...
Why don't you call the police
and let them handle it?
- You saw how the police reacted
after I told them about Sumner.
- Mm-hmm. - To them, he's
just another statistic.
- Hi, this is Danielle Williams,
Sumner's sister.
Could you please
call me back?
I'm sorry, Danny.
He's with Mom and Dad now.
- Hey, party girl!
How's it going?
Pretty rough.
- You know you shouldn't
have gone.
- No-one saw me.
How did you know I was there?
- Sophia told me.
She's worried about you.
We all are.
She called me.
- Who called you?
- Sumner's sister.
- Did you speak to her?
- No, I didn't, I can't...
- No, you have to, or else it's
going to look suspicious.
- What am I supposed to tell her?
- As little as possible.
Say that you were helping him
with his homework or something.
- We didn't have
any classes together.
- Look, you'll...
You'll think of something.
The most important thing right
now is that if she asks
about the night that he died,
we stick to the same story, OK?
- And if she doesn't believe me?
- It doesn't matter
what she believes. I mean, we have a
house full of sisters to back us up.
- Don't you feel
guilty at all?
Of course I do.
Look, if I could
take it back, I would.
But I can't.
None of us can.
- The best thing that
we can do right now is move on.
(phone ringing)
Hello? Who is this?
- Hi, uh, this is Natalie.
You called me?
- Uh, yeah, thank you for
calling me back, um...
How well did you know Sumner?
...Not very.
I mean, we met
at the bookstore once,
he asked for my number,
that was pretty much it.
But you went out with him?
Uh, no, I didn't.
- But he said he was
starting to see someone,
and there are a bunch of calls
between you two on his phone.
- Yeah, he called me
a few times.
im II asn't interested.
- Why did you give him
your number?
I didn't want to be rude.
- So you have no idea
where he was the night he died?
- I'm sorry,
I wish I could help.
Natalie!
I'm Danielle Williams.
I was hoping that we could
finish our conversation.
- Uh, how did you find me?
- I work here.
- I already told you everything.
- How about a coffee?
- OK.
You were seeing my brother.
- No. I mean,
I already told you...
- But you guys
talked that night.
He used his credit card
for dinner. Over $100.
You think if I show your picture around
the restaurant, someone might remember you?
OK, we had dinner.
Why did you lie?
I don't know.
I didn't want to get involved.
We only went out twice.
What did you do after dinner?
- Nothing, I mean, he just dropped me off.
What time?
- Maybe 8:00, 8:30...
- Really?
That's early for a date.
- I had class
in the morning, so...
- It wasn't that long ago
I was a freshman here.
I know the scene.
Parties. Party favours.
- What are you
trying to say?
- Maybe you and Sumner wanted
to heighten the experience?
A little weed, little ecstasy...
- No, I don't do drugs.
Well, neither did Sumner.
Somehow he managed
to do a bunch.
Enough to get him killed.
- Well, he didn't do anything that I saw.
What did you do after that?
- Just hung out at the sorority.
- Which sorority?
Delta Psi Beta.
- Oh, you're a Delta Psi?
- Listen, I really have to go.
- Was Alexa there?
- Sorry?
- Alexa Cooper.
She's the president.
- I really have to go. I'm
really sorry about your brother.
Well, I did what you told me.
I lied.
- Good. I knew you
had it in you.
Then she tracked me down!
I mean, she
caught me off guard...
- OK, calm down. What did you
say to her, exactly?
- Nothing. I mean, I told her
Sumner and I had dinner once,
but that I spent
the rest of the night here.
- Good. Good, then we have
nothing to worry about.
- Well, I'm pretty sure she didn't believe me.
- I told you, it doesn't matter.
- She asked about you.
- She did?
- When I brought up
Delta Psi.
That's sweet of her.
- You two know each other?
- We've crossed paths.
- Wait, is she the reason...
- Forget about her. This is about you.
Here.
- What is this?
- Greta Cummings.
The architect.
You have heard of her, right? -
Yeah, of course, she's cutting-edge.
Well, she's also an alum,
and there's a summer internship
coming up at her firm,
and she wants to see you for it.
- Me?
- Yeah.
This is how it works, girl.
You are one of us, now.
And a membership,
it does come with
its privileges.
- (Danielle): She knows
what happened.
I know she does.
- You're on shaky
ground, here, Danny.
Using university records,
interrogating a student...
- Do you think I care about
my job right now?
- I think you should.
- This has something to dwith Alexa Cooper.
Wanna bring me up to speed?
- Alexa Cooper,
it's Harrison Cooper's daughter.
What, the congressman?
- Yeah, that's him!
She is daddy's little girl
in all the worst ways.
- You really don't like this girl.
- I make it a point not to get personal
with my students, but this one...
She was up for a big internship
last summer,
and it was between her and another
girl and I recommended the other girl,
who was better qualified,
by the way.
And they listened to me.
- Let me guess,
Daddy didn't approve?
- No, no, I didn't hear from
him, but I heard from her.
She called me every name
under the sun,
threatened to sue me,
get me fired, you name it.
- So you think she drugged
Sumner to get to you?
I wouldn't put it past her.
- Greta Cummings.
- Natalie Kellison.
- Is that your portfolio?
- Yeah.
I really love your work.
I mean, the way you find beauty
in asymmetrical design...
- You've done your research.
That's good.
Delta Psi sees potential in you.
So do I.
- Wow, thanks.
- Yes, well...
How badly do you want
to be an architect?
- Very. It's all
I've ever wanted.
- Well, if that's true,
there may be
a place for you here.
- Are you serious?
- Work harder than everyone
else, be fearless in your design
and come see me
in the spring.
I will, thank you.
- Alexa.
- Ms. Williams!
- Can I speak to you?
- Of course.
I'll catch you guys later.
- Small world, isn't it?
- How so?
- One of your new pledges was
out with my brother,
the night that he died.
- Was she?
- You're too smart
to play dumb.
- Not smart enough
for you to recommend me.
It was you.
- My father pulled a lot of
strings to get me that opportunity,
and you just cut them.
- Gutless little bitch!
- Excuse me?
- You killed him!
- I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
- You disappointed your daddy,
and you killed my brother.
- I'm sorry
for your loss,
but you are way
out of line here.
- How can you...
You killed him.
You need help.
I'm going down
Can't see the light
There's no turning back
I'm losing my mind
Thank you.
- Doctor Niroc.
You wanted to see me.
- Have a seat.
- OK.
- First, allow me to offer my
sincerest condolences
for the loss of your brother.
- Oh... Thank you.
I got the flowers that you sent.
They were beautiful.
- You've been with us
almost 10 years now.
- Yes, sir.
- I trust you understand
the various fiduciary duties we
have as a university.
- Of course.
- Someery wealthy,
very influential people
have entrusted us,
not only with the higher
education of their children,
but often with
substantial endowments.
This is about Alexa, isn't it?
- I can only imagine how
difficult this must be for you,
but we can't have
a member of our staff
accosting students on campus.
- She's responsible for my brother's death.
- And we certainly cannot make
unsupported allegations.
I get it.
Money talks.
- This isn't a matter of money.
It's a matter of proper conduct.
As one of the most esteemed
schools in the country,
we must hold ourselves
to the highest of standards.
(footsteps)
(knocking on door)
- Come in.
- Hey, what's up?
- Natalie left.
- What do you mean, she left?
- Someone saw her leaving earlier.
She had a bag packed.
- Dad? I didn't see
your truck out there.
- Natalie.
- Where's my dad?
- There was an emergency
at one of his buildings.
We were right
in the middle of Chinatown.
- I'm going to go
grab some food.
- We made lasagna, let me heat
some up for you.
Your father does nothing but
rave about you, you know.
He couldn't be more proud.
He exaggerates.
I doubt that.
I know we haven't talked much,
but I want you to know that
I care about your father
very much.
He's the... kindest, sweetest,
most honest man I've ever met.
The way he talks about you, your
passion, your integrity...
I would never do anything
to hurt him, or you.
Never.
I'm gonna go...
- No... I mean,
you don't have to.
He'd want you to stay.
(TV playing)
Dad?
Hey.
Got any hot chocolate?
Yeah, come on.
So I take it you two talked.
Yeah.
She's all right, I guess.
- I know, I'm just glad
you think so too.
- I'm happy to see you and all,
but what are you doing here?
- I just needed
to clear my head.
There's this boy I met...
Uh-oh. Boy trouble already?
He... died.
What happened?
- There was an accident.
A car accident.
- Wait, I think I read about
this in the paper.
Kid ran varsity track.
You knew him?
Not very well, but yeah.
- Said there were drugs
involved.
That's what I heard.
- I'm afraid you're going to see
a lot of that in college.
- Yeah, I saw a lot
of that in high school.
How long can you stay?
- Just 'til tomorrow, I have
class in the afternoon.
I'll drive you.
Thanks, Dad.
So... that's the whole story.
(Nikki): Ok, well...
Like, say you do the right thing
and tell the truth.
What's the worst case
scenario?
Some of the girls blame me.
I get expelled,
maybe even go to jail.
Well, if you weren't involved,
then there's no evidence
that you were, right?
- We were out that night.
I mean, he called me.
And I already lied
about knowing him.
- Well, you can't be the only
one with a conscience.
Like, can't you get one of the
other girls to back you?
- No. I mean, they're all
either too loyal
or too scared.
I never should have gone along
with the whole thing.
- And you never should have
pledged to that stupid sorority.
But you're not responsible
for this kid's death.
- It's just all the stories my
mom used to tell me
about Delta Psi, and how they
supported each other
and helped each other...
These bitches have
twisted it all around.
So...
What do we do about this?
Well, dj vu.
I know, right?
- Nat, I get the feeling there's
something you're not telling me.
It's complicated.
Anything I can do?
- No.
- Is there anything you can do?
- That's where it
gets complicated.
- Well, when things get
complicated, I like to simplify them.
I wish it were that easy.
I didn't say it was easy.
You know, doing the right thing
rarely ever is.
- How did you know it was about
doing the right thing?
- 'Cause I know you, and I know
that look on your face.
Just like your mom
used to get.
Look, just know that
whatever you do,
I'll be there for you.
Thanks, Dad.
(cell phone ringing)
- Hello?
Can we talk?
Sure.
- Then I guess he must have gone
back to his car,
and by then, I mean,
there was nothing I could do.
And you really didn't know
what Alexa was up to?
I never would have been a part
of something like
that on purpose,
even if I hated the guy - and I
liked Sumner, I really did.
- And you're going to tell this
all to the police?
- I will, but I think it might be better
if I can find someone else to back me up.
- Those girls will never do it.
- There's one that might. (cell phone ringing)
- (Leanna): They're meeting again.
Doesn't look good. - I see.
Yeah, we're going to have
to put an end to this.
Should we prepare the package?
- Yeah, I'll let you know
when they're ready.
(Leanna hanging up)
You can't go to the police.
- I have to. We have to!
- No way.
- You said yourself, you didn't know what
they had planned. - No one's going to
believe me. Or you. OK?
These bitches mean business.
- So do I.
- Look...
When I was making the brownies,
Alexa had her camera.
She'll make it look like you and
I set up Sumner together.
- Unbelievable.
- It's what she does.
Gets dirt on people and then uses it
as leverage to get whatever she wants.
- Well, I'm sorry,
but I have to do this.
- I really thought
we were friends.
- Orange jacket, burgundy bag.
That's her.
- Natalie Kellison?
- Yes?
- We need to search you.
- Search me for what?
Hand over the bag, please.
Raise your arms for me, please.
What's going on?
What are those?
- You tell us.
It's not mine.
Stop, it's not mine. Stop!
- (officer): Save your stories
for the police.
- (student): Don't
tase me, dude!
(students laughing)
Dad?
- Case number 14539-2,
Natalie Jean Kellison,
possession of controlled
substances.
- (Solomon): Your honour,
if I may...
Bryce Solomon, attorney
for Ms. Kellison.
- You're the public defender?
- God, no.
I represent Delta Psi Beta.
- Trial date will be January 24,
bail is set at $50,000.
- Your honour, please, I... - You'll get
your chance to speak at trial, young lady.
Next case.
- Thanks so much
for bailing me out.
I didn't. He did.
- Actually, Alexa Cooper
paid your bail.
- Why would she do that? She's the
reason I'm here in the first place.
- This is perhaps not the best place
to discuss the details of your case.
Spend some time
with your family.
We'll talk soon.
- (Natalie): Great.
Now, on top of
everything else, I'm suspended
for the rest of the semester.
- The school has a zero-tolerance
policy when it comes to drugs.
- Whatever happened to being
innocent until proven guilty?
- Uh, that's our law.
The university has its own.
- You know, I still don't understand
why Alexa would bail Natalie out.
- (Aiden): Plausible
deniability.
Makes her look legit.
- You keep quiet,
the lawyer gets you off.
- Gets her off how?
- Bryce Solomon
is a master of technicalities.
The guy's got a flawless record.
- (Danielle): Natalie doesn't
play along,
he loses his first case in years
and she goes to jail.
Either way, Alexa
is above reproach.
- You know, there must be
one of these other girls
who's willing
to stand up to her.
- She surrounds herself with
people she can control.
- Sophia told me she has dirt on
everyone, holds it over their heads.
- I've heard that too, I just
thought it was urban legend.
...So she would have kept it.
- She would have kept what?
- The memory card.
She was filming Sumner and all the
girls when they were messing with him.
She was going to put it
on the internet before...
Before he died.
- I see where you're going with
this. Does she incriminate herself?
- No, she was holding the
camera, but the other girls do.
- Yeah, but you can't just break
into her room to get it.
- Well, she wouldn't keep it in
her room, she has girls
in and out of there all the time.
She doesn't even lock her doors.
- If she does keep this
kind of dirt on people,
she must have accumulated
quite a collection.
- Her father's house!
She's there
at least once a month.
- Well, you sure as hell
can't break into
a congressman's home.
- Well, I won't have to.
I was invited.
Alexa's birthday party.
She has it there every year.
- This is crazy.
If that lawyer
can get you off, I'll hire
another one who can do the same.
You can go back to school,
get on with your life and forget
all about this sorority.
- It's not just about
these charges, Dad.
Someone needs to stand up
to this girl. I need to.
For Sumner. For myself.
- I'm not gonna lie
and say I approve.
But I'd probably
do the same damn thing.
Be careful.
- (mouthing): Thank you.
(knocking on door)
Alexa?
- My, you have had
quite a weekend.
- Um... Yeah, I just wanted to
thank you for bailing me out.
- Hey, no problem,
it's what we do.
- I also just wanted
to apologize.
I mean, I was about
to make a big mistake.
Were you?
- Let's just say, I've had
a bit of a wake-up call.
- And... you're awake now?
- Wide awake.
Good.
It's good to have you back.
- All right, then.
- See you later.
- Oh... Hey.
- Hey.
Look...
I'm really sorry.
It's OK.
Just...
I just feel like I got you
into this whole mess.
Don't worry about it.
We're good. We're all good.
So, luckily for us,
the congressman is
a shameless self-promoter.
He was featured in
Architecture Monthly.
There are 7 bedrooms,
2 on the main floor
and 5 upstairs, including
the master suite.
- How do you know that?
- I just extrapolated the data.
There were also
some photos I used
from the magazine
for reference.
- That is amazing!
- That's Natalie - amazing.
- So, I'm going to make sure
Alexa is occupied,
while my lovely assistant Nikki
finds out which room is hers.
- I already know
which room is hers.
- How?
- Easy. The one with the biggest closet.
- How are you going to get in
in the first place?
I mean, you don't really
look like a sorority girl.
- I'll take that
as a compliment.
- The party's being catered, so Nikki's
gonna pose as one of the waiters.
- Sadly, as an aspiring
musician,
I've had plenty of experience.
- How does that work?
Wouldn't they have to hire you?
- These gigs are freelance. There are
always, sort of, people coming in and out.
- OK, what about security?
Her dad's a congressman.
It's bound to be pretty tight.
- Well, it normally is, but her
parents are out of town
for the weekend, so she has
the place all to herself.
- Her parents are out of town
on her birthday?
I know, right?
- What if she has a safe
or something like that?
I'll crack it.
Just kidding! We'd be screwed.
- Thank you, girls,
for doing this.
- Someone needs to bring this bitch down.
- What she said.
- You really think she's come around?
- So it would appear.
- I still don't trust her.
- Like my daddy's fond
of saying, you don't
trust people.
Own them.
(dance music playing)
(camera shutters clicking)
- Oh, my... The invitation
said no gifts!
- We can take them back.
- Oh, shut up!
Put them over there
and make yourselves at home.
Champagne, ladies?
- Yeah!
- You ready?
- Ready to put this tray down.
You know I hate seafood.
You're a rock star.
Hey, girl...
(Natalie): Hey!
- (slurring words): You know
what? You really are the best.
(cell phone dinging)
Sisters!
- I'll be right back.
Uh, Alexa!
- I'll be right back, I'm just
going to freshen up a little.
- I saw a guy and a girl heading into
one of the bedrooms down the hall...
- Oh, it's cool.
- Uh, she looked pretty wasted.
Like she was gonna hurl.
- OK, that's not cool.
I hate when that happens.
(cell phone ringing)
- Hey.
- OK, you have to hurry, she's
gonna be upstairs in a minute.
- OK, there's a locked
jewellery box in her closet,
it's the only place left to look.
- Can you get it open?
- If I had some tools, maybe.
- Never mind, just
get out of there.
- There was no one
in the bedroom.
- Oh! She must have been too
drunk to, you know...
- Ha ha! Yeah, hate when
that happens.
- Oh! What are you
doing up here?
- I was just looking
for the bathroom.
Oh, we have 11 bathrooms, but the
one for the help is right downstairs.
- Oh... My bad.
- No worries.
- Hey.
- Sure you looked
everywhere?... OK. - Everywhere...
except for that jewellery box.
- Ahem... We're not paying you
to bother the guests.
Oh... She's not bothering me.
- Yes, well, she still has a job
to do, so if you don't mind...
OK...
- Hey! Just where do you think
you're going?
Um... Girl problems.
Trust me, you don't want
to know the details.
My grandmother's jewels.
Beautiful, aren't they?
I knew something was up.
You gave in
a little too willingly.
Tell me, what is it that
you're hoping to find, hmm?
Wait, let me guess. Drugs?
No... The video?
Of course!
'Cause the video would prove
your little story,
wouldn't it?
- It's not a story!
A guy is dead because of you!
This is getting boring.
You really think that I would be stupid
enough to keep something like that?
- That's what you do, isn't it?
Keep dirt on people?
- I thought you were smarter
than the rest of them.
Guess I was wrong.
- What are you talking about?
- I don't need to "keep dirt",
as you call it. I just make
people believe I have it.
- But Sophia, I mean...
- Sophia is a needy little bitch
that would sell crack to her
mother just so she could be popular.
All of these girls;
weak, entitled, pitiful.
The reason why they join
a sorority in the first place
is to fill some sad, miserable
little hole in their heart.
But you can relate to that,
can't you? Right?
Mommy's little girl.
Go to hell!
- But I have to give it
to you, though.
You have some cojones, coming in
here, going all Ocean's 11.
- You know what? I don't care what
happens to me, I'm going to tell the truth.
To the police, to the university,
to anyone who will listen to me.
- No one is going to listen,
not without proof.
- How do you live
with yourself?
- When I was younger,
I used to spend
a lot of time in this room.
Any time my dad would
fight with my mom,
or his second wife,
or his third.
I would come in here,
and just lose myself
in all my beautiful clothes.
- Oh, I'm supposed
to feel sorry for you, now?
- But the most important thing
I learned,
I learned right here
in this room:
I'm the only person in the world
that gives a damn about me.
- You're pathetic.
If you don't mind,
I have a party to attend to.
Can you find your way out?
Silly me. Of course you can.
You found your way in.
Ugh...
- (Nikki): Natalie! Hold up!
- Let's just get out of here.
- Just hang on. Come on.
- What?
(music stops)
- Yo, how y'all feelin'?
(all cheering)
I got a little something special
for you guys,
a birthday surprise
for your girl Alexa.
(cheering and applauding)
You ready?
Hit it.
- (over loudspeakers): - I don't
need to "keep dirt", as you call it.
I just make people believe I have it.
- But Sophia, I mean... - Sophia is a
needy little bitch that would sell crack
to her mother just
so she could be popular.
All of these girls...
(crowd murmuring)
...weak, entitled, pitiful.
The reason why they join a sorority
in the first place is to fill some
sad, miserable little hole
in their heart.
But you can relate to that,
can't you? Right?
Mommy's little girl.
- Go to hell!
- But I have to give it to you, though.
You have some cojones, coming in
here, going all Ocean's 11.
You know what? I don't care
what happens to me,
I'm going to tell the truth.
To the police, to the university,
to anyone who will listen to me.
- No one is going to listen,
not without proof.
- How do you live
with yourself?
(Niroc): Natalie Kellison;
upon review of your testimony
and the testimony
of so many of your sorority sisters,
it is the decision of this committee
that you be reinstated
immediately.
Thank you.
- What about Alexa?
What happens to her?
- Ms. Cooper has elected
to withdraw
her enrolment in the university.
She's also resigned as the
president of Delta Psi Beta.
We will watch your back
So you can start
Walking again
- Compliments to the chef. Dinner
looks amazing. - Yeah, it does.
A toast:
to the things we've lost
and the things we've found.
- That's great.
- To family.
- To family.
- (all): Cheers.
