One of Us Is Lying

* I'm free, all right *

* Yeah, I feel it when I close my eyes *

* I'm free, all right *

* Yeah, I feel it when I close my eyes *

* I'm free *

* I'm free *

* Now I can breathe like I've never before *

Hi, Jake.

- Get it! Okay, you suck.

- * You can stay if you wanna *

* Yeah, I've done it before and I can do it again *

* Now I'm free, all right *

* Yeah, I feel it when I-- *

Wait, wait.

- Hey, he doesn't deserve you, okay?

Addy, you're amazing, and Jake is--

- Probably having sex with some French model.

- Everyone's gonna find out. - What?

I said...

everyone's gonna find out.

Hey, babe.

Thought you could use some extra fuel today.

Organic, fair trade, just how you like it.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Can we just skip today?

- Babe, that post was obviously some kind

of shitty prank, okay?

No killer is just gonna confess like that.

- Well, tell that to all the people asking

if I'm a literal murderer.

- All right, you know what? Stop right there.

Adelaide Prentiss, you're under arrest.

Officer Jake Riordan, hair police.

I forgot my badge.

It's been a while since I've had to use it.

You've been doing good. You've been doing real good.

- You mean the piece of cardboard

that has dog hair stuck to it?

You remember it?

Well, do you also remember that every time I flash it,

you have to take a deep breath,

stop messing with your beautiful hair,

and remember that I'm never gonna let

anything bad happen to you?

- There it is. That's what I like to see.

What would I do without you?

- You'll never have to find out.

* You need an instant ease *

* From your life where you got plenty *

* Of every hurt and heartbreak *

* You just take it all to the face *

* I know that you want to cry *

* But there's much more to life than dying *

* Over your past mistakes *

* And people who threw dirt on your name *

* *

* *

- I was on a run, and I saw your text,

so I thought I'd say hi, so...

Hi.

Hi, hi, hi. Oh, my God.

It's so early, and my place looks crazy right now.

I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have just shown up like this.

It's fine.

- Look, I'm about to have a really bad day,

and I guess I just wanted one part of it to be good.

I'll talk to you later?

Wait, wait, wait.

Maybe I can help you with that.

- * Tell me you'll die for me *

* Come say a'ight with me *

* Tell me that, oh *

* Tell me you'll ride with me *

* Tell me you'll die for me *

Bronwyn Rojas.

You waiting for me?

- Where's the laptop? - Simon's laptop?

Last I heard, you did not have it, right?

- Yeah, well, now I really don't have it.

- Wait, you lost it? - No, I didn't lose it.

It was stolen from me. There's a huge difference.

Oh, and you think I stole it.

- Yeah, well, who else knew that I did not have it?

- Okay, if I've learned anything from horror movies,

and I have, it's that usually,

the call is coming from inside the house.

What are you trying to say?

- Your parents probably found the laptop

and gave it back to Simon's family.

Or, I don't know, threw it off a cliff,

which is probably the better idea.

- No, no, 'cause if my parents had found it,

I would have heard about it immediately

'cause I would have been grounded permanently.

- You really trust your parents, huh?

It's cute.

- Yeah, I trust them more than a drug dealer

one strike away from jail.

Sorry. I didn't mean it.

- Yeah, you did. You did.

* *

You're late for class.

What would Yale think?

Guys, I have an idea.

I think somebody killed Simon to steal his laptop,

used it to get into About That,

and then posted that insane confession

to freak everyone out.

And also because psychos love getting credit for their work.

You guys, this is a true crime podcast waiting to happen.

- Simon posted people's secrets all the time.

Nobody ever tried to poison him about it.

- Yeah, I know, but this was supposed to be a big reveal.

He was building it up. He'd never done that before.

It was probably so good.

- Yeah, well, some of the theories

people are posting are pretty insane.

- Like what? - Addy, what did we say?

Don't read the comments.

- Or have others read them for you.

- Just that four big posts got teased,

and then four people were in detention with Simon.

You think those four posts were about us?

- Or are you saying that one of us killed Simon?

Either way, it's insane.

And just to say it, if anyone in this entire school

was capable of murder, it seems kind of obvious.

* *

- What is a secret worth literally killing for?

Can we just drop this?

- Okay, relax, Cooper. What would your big secret be?

Oh, my--Cooper, did you skip a protein shake?

Ha. Ha.

Vanessa.

- What, maybe he did, and he doesn't want us to know.

- You offended him. - Cooper.

I'm sorry, sweetie. - Oh.

- Eeyore, come on. Pooh Bear was joking.

Thanks.

What about you?

What would your deadly little secret be?

Sorry to disappoint,

but that post obviously wasn't gonna be about me.

I didn't even read About That that morning,

and besides, how could I have planned

to poison Simon if I didn't even know

he was gonna be in detention that day?

- Okay. Addy, relax.

You're clearly not some secret mastermind killer.

- - Babe, relax.

- And none of us thought that cheating post

was about you and Jake.

Right, Keely?

* *

- Oh, yeah. No, of course not.

* *

- Anyway...

- If you want to spend some time with a counselor,

that's understandable, but if you're here in class,

let's try to stay focused, okay?

If you go to page 18...

This year, you'll be learning

nothing short of how the world around you works.

Physics explains the fundamental laws

of our universe from the largest galaxies

to the tiniest planets.

Physics is all around you.

It's physics that explains

how you're all sitting in your chairs right now

and not floating out into orbit.

And if someone were to pull one of those chairs out...

* *

Seriously?

I'm so sorry.

I didn't even know I had my alarm set.

I have no idea how--

- You know phones aren't allowed in class.

That's worth detention.

Now, where were we?

- What? - Right...

Well, I got detention too,

so guess I'll see you there.

* *

- So acceleration due to gravity is constant.

On Earth, that number is 9.8 meters per second squared.

If you haven't committed this to memory...

oh, Principal Gupta.

How can I help you?

- Okay. She's just there. - Yeah.

Addy, can you come with me please?
