13 Reasons Why

Shh.

For this next one, you need to be very, very quiet.

Because you're about to do something very wrong.

Be careful.

And don't get caught.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to watch someone?

To invade someone's privacy?

Do you wonder what secrets you might uncover?

What skeletons you might turn up?

Well, for this next one, you're about to find out.

A-4 on your map, kids.

Now, don't say you're too afraid

or that you don't feel comfortable doing this kind of thing,

because guess what?

You spy on people every day.

We're always watching someone.

Following someone.

And being followed.

Facebook, Twitter, instagram...

They've made us a society of stalkers.

And we love it.

Of course, stalking someone in real life is a whole 'nother thing.

That's right.

I had a stalker.

And if you've made it to a-4, you're outside his window.

Just like I am...

Right now.

Any guesses yet?

No?

Well, stay tuned to hear about the skeletons he dug up.

For now...

Let's see if he's got any of his own.

I get that it's a thrill...

Looking into someone's life.

My heart's pounding right now.

Can you hear it?

Listen.

Marcus!

You asshole. What the hell...?

- What are you doing? - Sorry, okay?

I said your name, like, three times.

What are you...

Wearing?

Oh, I totally forgot.

I'm El niño.

The tropical storm?

No? Okay.

Wow, I really hope you're not one of the judges tomorrow, 'cause...

Marcus, what are you doing?

The costume contest. Two hundred bucks.

Here... what are you doing out here?

Oh.

I heard you, man.

The car alarm. I live right over there.

Besides, you're not the first one to come look at the famous window.

We all did it.

And we all took our shot.

Wait, "we"?

Are you on the...?

Why? What did you do?

Who knows? Okay? I didn't listen.

I just started each tape till I heard who it was,

figured out who came after me, and passed 'em on.

But what about the second set?

- Hannah said that if we don't listen... - Hannah said. Dude, Hannah's dead.

I'm sorry, but it's true.

Nothing anyone did to her was any different

than what happens to every girl at every high school.

She just wanted attention.

And leaving those tapes...

That's a fucked-up thing to do! No one deserves that.

Except maybe that psycho.

Tyler down?

Dude, listen, take your shot and pass those things on, man.

You'll feel better.

We need to get this window fixed, Tyler.

It's time.

They're just gonna break it again.

Who are these kids?

We need names.

I want to report it to the school or to the police.

No.

We don't need to. Just forget it.

I don't know who they are, dad, okay?

Why are they doing this?

I said I don't know, okay?

Can I just do my homework, please?

Yeah.

Welcome to your tape, Tyler down.

Good night.

So, tell me...

When did it start?

How long were you watching me, Tyler?

I can't believe you don't like them.

Look, I'm just saying, I don't...

Okay, vampires, aliens, even werewolves, I get it.

I get the motivation, i get the metaphors, right?

But, like, zombies?

They're just...

They're just stupid.

So you hate zombies?

You're a zombie racist.

Just, like, I don't understand 'em.

What's their story?

They don't want to take over the world, kill their masters, anything interesting.

They're not good or evil.

They're just hungry... for brains.

I mean, like, brains.

Well...

Thank you...

For walking me home.

And for destroying all future zombie media for me forever.

Anytime.

Asshole.

Turn around, dude.

I didn't really think anything of it at first.

Must have been the sound of a tree branch in the wind.

But the sound followed me.

I was too scared to move...

Even to shut the blinds.

These pictures are proof. They're gonna help us in the fight.

And if we tear this room apart...

I don't want to tear this room apart, and I'm not sure I want to fight.

We have to. For Hannah.

What about for us?

Honey, our daughter is gone.

Christ, Andy, I know that!

I have to know why.

I need to know why.

And if you don't, I...

I didn't sleep much that night.

You should know.

But then, the pictures you took that night aren't the reason you're on this tape,

are they?

We're talking about one picture in particular.

Goddamn it, Tyler.

How bad is it?

Oh, um...

Hey, dad.

How bad is what?

I'll never forget my first hangover.

Uh... yeah. First.

Is that what I'm feeling?

Ugh.

I prefer to leave my lectures in the lecture hall, but, you know...

There's actually an important lesson to be learned from a hangover.

Don't drink?

Sure, but... you'll drink. It happens.

The overarching lesson is that actions have consequences.

Judging from the way you look,

you've probably suffered enough for today.

What is that?

Hot sauce, horseradish, Kale, a raw egg,

and, uh, about six other things designed to cure a hangover.

Oh, no, don't smell it.

Just drink.

So, listen, uh, I talked to mom about the grounding situation

and all it entails,

and I managed to convince her to stay her ruling, on one condition:

You gotta start opening up to us, kid.

Just... you know, let us know what's going on.

Only enough to keep us informed.

And your mother also prefers...

No more closed doors.

Literal and figurative.

Oh, and no big spread this morning.

It's just us, so cereal okay?

Wait, where's mom?

So, mood swings.

Refusal to participate in group activities,

change in their appearance...

You're making me feel like a bad student.

I'm starting to feel like a bad parent.

Declining gpa...

And substance abuse.

Now, paying close attention to these warning signs can help you

prevent your children from making a terrible mistake.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Porter, for that informative presentation.

If anybody has questions, we're happy to answer now.

Yeah?

What can you tell us about this lawsuit?

Was that girl bullied?

Actually, legally, we are not allowed to discuss that,

but we can all become more involved in our children's lives, okay?

And that starts at home.

Yeah?

Should we be worried about our own kids being bullied?

In our experience, relative to many other schools,

we do not have a problem with bullying.

Then why did that girl do it?

That girl's name is Hannah.

Mrs. Baker.

It's so good to see you. We didn't know you'd be joining us.

Well, I'm still a member of the school community, right?

And if you want to know why...

I suggest you ask your own children.

Or take a look at the walls of the restrooms they use every day.

"Bitch."

"Slut."

"Whore."
