Scream

Do you, like, actually think that I'm stalking you?

I don't trust you.

I need your help tracking down Jake Fitzgerald.

The kid screwed me over.

What if they think one of us is the killer?

Stavo basically has "crazy psychopath"

tattooed on his forehead,

and I'm supposed to just ignore it?

You're my favorite person in the world,

but you're acting weird.

Hey, give that back!

This is what he's drawing!

God, you sicko!

It's not what you think!

It's been one day since Jake Fitzgerald's body was found,

and the grizzly reality of how he died is settling in.

That sort of grief is a tricky thing.

You don't know what to feel.

Should you be furious? Should you be frightened?

Should you be sad?

It can swallow you up or weigh you down

or ignite a fire inside you.

When murder hits this close to home...

It makes you see the world in a new way.

People, too.

Even the ones you trust start to look a little different.

Because when everyone's a suspect,

there is no innocence.

What do you want? Distorted voice: You didn't tell anyone

about our little meeting yesterday.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Poor, sad, awful Emma.

You can't trust anyone, not even yourself.

You're wrong about that.

You know I'm right.

I'm always right.

Go to hell.

I'm in your head, Emma, and you know it.

I'm sorry, she's not up yet. I can wake her up if it's important.

No. No, it's okay. I just need to talk to her.

Could you tell her I stopped by? Sure.

She's going through a hard time right now.

Just be patient with her.

I will.

That's good to know.

I'm sorry, Emma. I made a mistake.

Telling him about the phone without talking to you...

It was wrong.

Then, why did you do it?

When acosta found the gun in my locker,

he said he'd arrest me if I didn't help him,

if I didn't give him an "in."

And I was that "in"?

You could have told me.

I've been calling all morning to tell you.

You weren't the only one who called.

The killer called... again.

What do you mean, he called again?

He called me this morning and at the lockdown.

Just like in the woods, he was there, taunting me through the window.

Why didn't you tell anyone? Who was I gonna tell?

The sheriff so that he could ask me about my PTSD again?

Jake's body dropped from the ceiling,

and all he cared about was my mental health history,

which is exactly what the killer wants.

So, you made up the panic attack.

He's messing with me and it's personal.

I have to figure out what's going on and who I can trust.

I can't believe this is happening again.

I can't believe Jake is gone.

Neither can I.

Emma: Hey, Noah. It's me. Open up.

Uh, hold on. Just a second.

Hey! Was that locked? That's weird. Sorry.

Uh, what's up? What's going on?

Um, I have something I need to tell you.

The last thing that Piper said to me

was that she had one more surprise.

I think that surprise just killed Jake

and is now terrorizing all of us.

You mean Piper's accomplice.

Yes. I know. You've been saying it all along,

but, now, I'm ready to know the truth.

I need to see your board.

The board? No, no, no!

It's under construction. It's not ready.

You're not ready. Nobody's ready. Noah, I'm ready.

Audrey? What?

Why do you think that?

Audrey said some strange things during the lockdown.

And then, she went all Frankenstein lynch mob on stavo,

and-and she... she just...

You know, her temper's been off the charts lately.

That's it? That's... That's all that you have?

It's just a feeling I have. A feeling?

It's not Audrey!

Noah, the killer has gotten in your head, okay?

He... he wants you to connect dots that don't even exist! It is part of his game, okay?

He is trying to make it so that you cannot trust anything or anyone.

It could all be a part of his plan. Yeah.

It has to be.

It's Brooke. It's Brooke. I have to go.

It's not Audrey, so unless you have something real to back that up,

you need to take down her picture right now.

Carnations are depressing af.

How about you just don't tell my dad about that?

He'll just want to send me to another shrink,

and I'll just want to butcher another bed.

How are you holding up?

I'm not.

I realize Jake was no angel,

but he didn't deserve what Seth did to him.

Brooke...

I know that Seth Branson is not a good guy,

but don't do that to yourself.

He was obsessed with me. And not in the cool way.

More, like, in the scary, stalker-y, "doesn't want to share me" kind of way.

Jake tried to open my eyes to that,

and he wound up dead at my feet.

This is all my fault.

Brooke, I know you want answers,

but don't go down the Branson spiral.

I don't think it makes sense.

You're really trying to make sense

out of any of this?

Your long-lost psycho half-sister

tried to kill us all.

I wouldn't really call that logical,

but, hey, it totally happened.

Yeah. It could be anyone this time, Emma.

I have to find out what happened to Jake.

I don't care how ugly it gets.

Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Miguel: I just had a few more questions.

Quinn: Brooke is too fragile for any more interviews right now.

Have you followed up on Seth Branson?

We did. I appreciate the tip,

but it looks like he'll come out clean.

What about Jake's phone?

Couldn't open it.

Encrypted.

You! Tell me why you're tailing me or I'll smack you again.

This time for real. Wait, that wasn't for real?

Okay, look, no, I was not following you.

I mean, yeah, I was following you, but...

I tried to call you. I lost my phone. Go on.

So, I spotted you, and I thought,

"hey, follow her! That'll be really funny."

And, you know, it obviously was not 'cause you hit me.

And, now, I'm on my way to... Buy a bike,

which I was actually gonna ask you to come with me to do, so...

Which one do you like? What are you into? Huh?

You're being so weird.

What? Because I want to buy a bike?

Uh, I don't think so. Hey, check that out in the back!

That's really cool. The blue one with the chrome handle bars.

That's pretty cool. That looks good, right? That looks cool.

You know what?

I'm gonna test ride it. Thank you!

Hey. Hey, I got your text.

And I got your text. Who is Eddie?

Eddie's the key to clearing Audrey. Check it out.

Right here in the transcript of my morgue interview.

Eddie saw Piper and a girl matching Audrey's description

together several times at the motel where he works.

So, he's seen Piper's accomplice, but I bet you he's never seen Audrey.

When he doesn't recognize Audrey, he'll prove that she's not Piper's sidekick.

Right? What do you think?

Do it. Okay.

Uh... "Was this the girl you saw with Piper?"

Eddie shut me down a couple of times.

We'll just have to wait it out, bide our time.

Okay. We're on his clock now, so...

Oh! That was fast, Eddie. He says, "wow."

Okay, that's not useful, but we've got the three dots.

There's hope!

Emma: I bet you he will not recognize Audrey.

You don't have to keep coming over.

Woman: Thank you, mayor.

Mr. mayor!

We met at the high school.

During the lockdown. It was an emotional day.

Buy me a drink and I'll keep you company.

Ugh! Jesus, you scared me.

Wear a bell if you're gonna creep like that.

You texted me. Twenty minutes ago.

I drive a bike, not a range rover.

What's the emergency?

Look, you were a really great guide

when I was lost in that ayahuasca nightmare.

So, I was wondering,

do you have the same sense of direction

around your dad's office?

What am I looking for?

Anything that looks weird in Seth Branson's file.

You mean that lurker guy who was at the movies

that night you kissed me?

You kissed me, dude!

Focus! Can you help me or not?
