[SHETTY] That's the sum total
of your searing insight...

that Sam skull-f*cked Bob here?

This is Greg.

[SHETTY] Find Sam. I want
the whole security team on this.

You saved me.

[EMMA] Where are we?

Old drive-in movie place.

I guess then it's just us together.

I heard you're a psychic.

You're looking for your roommate,

but she's not the only girl

you're looking for.

- [HIGH-PITCHED TONE]
- What the f*ck?!

- [YELLS]
- [JORDAN] Wh-What were you thinking,

asking him for help?

Since when do you care about anyone

not named Jordan?

Tek f*cking Knight is on campus.
He fucks people up.

How long have you been
eating Golden Boy's

girlfriend's hole?

[JORDAN] This school has a f*cking

Mengele Health Clinic.

We don't know who's in on it.

[SAM] Dr. Cardosa.

He hurt me and he won't leave me alone.

You have to k*ll him!

- Just let my family go.
- You're all f*cking puppets!

You're-you're one of them!

[GRUNTS]

- [MARIE] Emma!
- [SAM] Let me go!

We're gonna make it right.

Then find me a place to puke.

[JORDAN] Okay, look,

seriously, Andre.

[LAUGHS]

I don't remember anything.

So how do you know
whether you did it or not...

have the sex with Marie?

Okay, that's not...

I don't blackout, ever.

I mean, I could take a whole case

of Beam to the face and be fine.

Why your chonies twisted over this?

Marie's fly, nice in a fight,

and far as I know, of legal age.

Is it... It's a Black thing, isn't it?

- Oh, my God.
- It's a Black thing.

Leave him alone. It's sweet.

I think you guys make a cute couple.

Thanks, but this whole

It's f*cking Saturday.

Hold up. It is...

- Guys,

look, it's not that I don't

I-I mean, I don't,

There are days that I am missing.

Mine too.

I mean...

you're trending.

For flashing my giant
white ass to the world.

Did you know you could do that?

Get big?

Unless it's none of my business,

which, it's not. Never mind.

No, I've known ever since
the Buster Beaver incident.

Google at your own peril.
My mom called me a monster,

then made me swear never to do it again.

Oops.

That's horrible.

[SHORT CHUCKLE]

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Exactly why this is going
straight to voice mail.

[SIGHS] Okay.

Hmm.

How long have you been snogging Jordan?

I don't even know how to answer that.

Is a male assh*le tighter
than a female assh*le?

Jesus, Emma.

Emma! Are-are you okay?

I was out of line,

and I'm so sorry that I left you,

especially after you stopped me
from doing something terrible.

But I'm-I'm fine now, and
I know it sounds weird,

but I was so happy to smell
your throw-up because it meant

that you got away from...

Why are you looking at me like that?

Emma, it's-it's me, Sam. The-the Woods,

the... the-the Stardust Drive-In.

Look, hey, hey, hey, hey, Sam?

That's your name?

And you're-you're Marie,
the... the blood girl.

I think you're confused.

Maybe you saw us on TV
or TikTok or something?

TikTok?

You don't actually know us

in real life,

and-and...

we don't know you at all.

They made you forget.

Who's they?

Wait, is... is someone after you, Sam?

I mean, do you need help?

Emma, there are

dangerous,

evil people at that school.

People that don't want you
to know about me

or the truth, and you-you
can't trust anyone.

But we can trust you?

No. No.

No, she's right.

I wouldn't trust me, either,
not after what I did.

I'm gonna find a way to fix this.

I'm gonna make you remember.

Remember what?

That you're a hero.

A real one.

That guy's

f*cking crazy.

Totes.

Kind of cute, though, right?

I don't think it's that weird.

Toe socks are weird, Emma.

That guy had literal blood
under his fingernails,

and it wasn't his.

God, your powers are f*cking bonkers.

Wait. When am I gonna get
my period again?

- Holy f*ck, Emma.
- What? I lost track.

You're insane.

Uh, I mean, next Friday, though.

- f*cking thank you.
- [CATE] Marie?

Oh, you go. I have to shower
and put on actual clothes.

Okay.

Did you, uh... did you
black out last night?

[SCOFFS] I-I don't really think

that's any of your business.

[CATE] Marie, we all blacked out.

And not just the party.
The-the past few days.

Think about it. I blew off my
interview with Hailey Miller,

but I don't know why.

I remember Tek Knight being
here, I remember talking to him,

but I don't remember why.

There was a kid just now.

He acted like he knew me and Emma.

What kid? Another student?

Sam something. I-I've never seen him.

Unless you have and forgot.
What'd he want?

To save us. From someone at the school,

from the school itself.

What the f*ck?

- [GROANS]
- f*ck you do to us, Dusty?

Hey, Jordan, he's just a kid.

Dusty's not a kid. He's, like, .

Yet I still got a d*ck
like a hairless caterpillar.

f*ck my life.

I think I know who did this.

Rufus was here last night.

sh*t.

Of course it's him.

Why?

I sort of...

... blew his d*ck off.

He nearly k*lled my family, Indira.

He's far more trouble than he's worth,

and Golden Boy is dead anyway.

The point is, I'm done with Sam.

He's not my problem anymore.

I'm tired of babysitting psychopaths.

Babysitting psychopaths
is literally your job.

Those kids found out about him.

Those kids have been handled.

- They won't be a problem.
- Come on. You know

it's just a matter of time
before they find out

about everything else
we're doing down here.

I am this f*cking close

to perfecting the virus, a viable way

to control them for good.

But if they discover that?

I'm not paid nearly enough
to die for this sh*t.

So you want a raise?

- No, that's not what I...
- So why don't you

tell me what it is you do want?

Because we both know
you're not going anywhere.

Cutting up Supes and
seeing how they tick

is a skill that won't quite shine

on your LinkedIn profile.

I want the girl.

Marie.

Her abilities are
the rarest I've ever seen.

She doesn't understand
how powerful she really is.

She's the perfect subject,
could speed up my timeline.

She is special.

But no.

You're not the only one
interested in Moreau.

She has a benefactor,
and because of that,

she's strictly off-limits.

For now.

[ANDRE] So what you're saying

is that Rufus has to piss
sitting down forever.

You do it on purpose?

No, it was an accident.

I'm not even sure how I did it.

He f*cking deserved it.

Why were you even talking to him?

I don't remember.

I was looking for something.

[SIGHS]

I met him in Intro Psych freshman year.

He said he liked my gloves.

And then...

... three days later
I woke up in a random bed

with a camera pointed at me.

He saw I was awake, smiled, and said,

"Make this weird,
and I'll wipe you again".

[MARIE] Holy f*cking sh*t.

Cate, did you tell anybody?

And say what?

He had me on camera consenting.

It doesn't matter. I don't
even remember it, so...

Your body f*cking remembers.

Are you...

Are you okay?

I should've known better,
and now I do, so...

This is exactly his M.O.

Right.

So, I get him coming after me for...

revenge or whatever, but

why go after you guys?

[JORDAN] Where's Andre?

Oh, sh*t. Rufus.

He's gonna k*ll Rufus.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

No, girl, you were litty

No, you don't... you don't
need to say or do anything.

'Cause that scumbag mind-r*ped us.

And we weren't acting like ourselves.

Yeah. I hear you,

- um, but...
- It's all good.

It's cool. We're cool.

Yeah, yeah. [CHUCKLES]

Totally. We are cool.

There's Rufus.

[MARIE] What's he doing with Shetty?

[JORDAN] Let's find out.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Not till he's away from Shetty.

What? You're the one who wanted
to report this piece of sh*t.

I know. I know, but...

"Don't get big. It's weird and gross".

But now I have, like, voice mails

about doing a Giant Cricket show.

I mean, he knows more than we
do. He said they made us forget.

Rufus. It has to be the school.

Rufus was with Shetty.

but what did she want us to forget?

this is way, way bigger than Rufus.

I think something really
f*cked happened to us...

is happening to us... and I think

Dean Shetty is a part of it.

Do I have one, too?

[MARIE PANTING]

I'm so, so sorry.

I really wish it didn't
have to be like this.

It's you.

I don't know. I mean...

she just seemed so f*cking freaked out

when she woke up with me looking like...

[CHUCKLES]

... like this.

[SIGHS]

Jenny Boccabella was my first
girlfriend in the sixth grade.

And she always wanted me
to just be a guy.

So I changed for her.

[MAVERICK] Did you ask
if Marie was freaked out?

She might not give a sh*t.

I mean, I...

No. I just assumed that
that's what she'd want.

That's on you.

You're the one who turns
into a dude to hook up with her.

This is your hangup, not hers.

f*ck.

You think?

Yeah. Look, for all you know,

she's cool with hiding
the sausage and bumping donuts.

Like, sometimes, I hide
in the women's showers

and watch girls jerk off

and sometimes I hide in the men's.

Gender's just a construct.

What the f*ck, dude?

Hey, man, no kink shaming.

- Come on, don't be like that.
- [DOOR OPENS]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Look, I know I said earlier that...

What the hell happened to you?

I have no idea.

That's... f*cking weird. Look,

I feel like we've been
avoiding each other, and...

Okay, listen, I know I said
that we were cool earlier,

but I don't know
if that's actually true.

I mean, I've been doing
a lot of thinking, and...

Wait, you never said we were cool.

Yes, I did, before we chased Rufus.

Rufus?

The psychic guy? Why...
why would we chase him?

He f*cking wiped you again.

W...

That m*therf*cker.

Wait.

I think there's something there.

[CATE] I can't do this anymore.

I just can't.

I'm ju... just gonna have to keep...

Come.

I-I tried, I really tried.

I know. I know you did,
and I am sorry, sweetheart.

I know what I've asked you
to do is difficult.

Maybe too difficult.

Helping people is your gift, Cate.

That's what makes you so special.

No one else can help people get
past what's holding them back

like you.

All I've ever asked is that you try.

Use your gift for good,
no matter how hard it gets.

Because you're the only one
who can keep your friends safe.

This is way above
your weaselly pay grade,

but you're f*cking with us for a reason.

You're all f*cking nuts.
Look at the facts.

The facts you made me forget?

Okay, okay, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

You say I wiped your
memory tonight, right?

Except I couldn't have done that,

because my powers only work up close,

and I've been here
for the last five hours.

- Can't talk. We found Rufus.
- Marie, it's not him.

Look, I just work
in the dean's office, okay?

I don't know sh*t about implants,

and I didn't do sh*t
to you at the party.

- Stop f*cking lying!
- It's Cate!

- [RUFUS] Please don't k*ll me.
- Why would you say that?

Sam is Golden Boy's brother.

Cate made him forget
he even had a brother

over and over and over.
And, look, I know

Rufus is a monster, but so is Cate.

Please. Pl-Please don't k*ll me.

I've been waiting all night for this.

Jordan, it's not him. It's Cate.

What? That's f*cking crazy.

- I know, but it's true.
- You sure?

I'm sure.

- It wasn't him.
- It was Cate!

do something like that.

[CATE] Andre, don't!

tell them it isn't true.

I'm so sorry.

I've only ever wanted
to help and protect you.

I just wanted to make
things better, and...

You're-you're all f*cking...

- puppets!

what Golden Boy had.

His girlfriend, the number one spot.

Is that why he blew himself up?

We don't know who's in on it.
Maybe Dean Shetty.

I can't lose you, too.

They call it The Woods. It's like this

f*cked-up hospital or something.

I love you.
