[CHEERING]

- f*ck me, you're heavy.
- Hey!

Yeah, man, no wonder Westfield
couldn't tackle your ass.

f*ck you guys. My fat ass
saved yours, butterfingers.

- [ZACH] Hey!
- Ouch!

Lucky I was doubled up all night or
else you wouldn't have gotten sh*t.

- And I thank you.
- Dude, that catch? Insane!

You're so getting your
d*ck sucked tonight!

Monty, you wanna do the honors?

You know what? I would. That's
how amazing that catch was.

Party at your place, Walker?

- No.
- His parents are in town.

- We're hitting the docks.
- See you guys.

See ya.

[CHATTER]

- Great game, Bryce!
- Thanks, Mr. Dempsey.

Looking for someone?

No, I, um... I was just... No.

I'm Hannah. We met at Kat's party.

Yes. Yeah, no, I remembered.
I... I was just...

It's cool. Yeah.

Probably all those
concussions out there.

Yeah, something like that.

Didn't know you were a football fan.

- My mom made me come.
- Oh, okay, okay.

Yeah. She said it'd be good for me
to meet people, make some friends.

And now she's off somewhere making
friends for herself, and here I am.

Well, at least she's here.

Mine are apparently still in Zurich

or wherever the hell it is this week.

Can your parents take
mine with them sometime?

Absolutely. I'll talk
to them about that.

Good game, man.

- I, uh... I should go find my mother.
- Sure. Sure.

[BRYCE] Hey, friend.

Let's hang out sometime.

[BRYCE] Maybe that's why
Hannah pursued me,

because she had never felt that...

that sense of belonging.

[NORA] Aren't the glasses a bit much?

Yeah, I haven't worn
these in, like, forever.

Warren thinks they make him
look more empathetic, relatable.

And can't he just be those things?

Look, Warren is the best
there is at reading a jury.

Our family's on trial today.

You shouldn't even be in
that room, for Christ's sake.

We could've fought off a bullshit
subpoena for a rinky-dink lawsuit.

I got this. I spent, like, four
hours with Warren and his guys.

- We're good.
- [NORA] Are we good?

The reporters out front
didn't seem to think so.

Enough.

The kid doesn't need any more static.

[JESSICA] If she doesn't
know this happened to her,

she's gonna be destroyed.

And once she does, I'm
not gonna be the one

who tells her that the whole
world needs to know, too.

They're gonna have to take
down Bryce without her.

- He's just going to lie.
- [JESSICA] Maybe.

But you go up there thinking
you'll know what to say,

and then it ends up going
another way completely, you know?

Yeah, which is how I know we
can't count on them to get Bryce.

Look, if we don't stop this,
there will be more Chlöes...

and Bryces...

and Ninas.

Oh, my God.

[CLAY] This is proof, Jessica.

Proof of who Bryce is, who they all are.

Proof that you're not alone.

And that makes it easier?

What, like we're some
part of a f*cking club?

Jesus, you guys...

Wait, we... That might be evidence.

Well, it doesn't belong to you.

Aren't you pissed off?

I've made a lot of enemies in this town.

It's Bryce.

- You think so?
- Yes.

No, he wouldn't get his
hands dirty with this.

But who else would it be?

Bryce has money.

And boys like him, men like him,
they have protectors and enablers

and people with lots to
lose if they're found out.

Can I come to court with you today?

Okay.

Why are you in this picture?

I'm sure I can't tell you anything
worse than what you're imagining.

[CLAY] I don't know.

So far, things have been worse
than I ever would've imagined.

What do you want me to say, Clay?

Would you believe nothing happened?

[CLAY STAMMERS]

How did you end up in the Clubhouse?
I mean, whose jacket is it?

You know I dated Justin.

He said he didn't know
about the Clubhouse.

And you believe him?

I don't know. I...

So, what do you wanna hear?

That I dated half the baseball team?

That they got me high
and f*cked me blind?

I...

I wanna know the truth.

I told you my truth,
but you don't believe me.

You say you love me,

but you're always willing to
believe the worst of me.

[JESSICA] Clay Jensen has
the rest. They're safe.

I know how much you talk about
your story being yours, so...

I thought you should get to
decide what to do with this.

Yeah, but the thing is is
that this isn't my story.

This is the lie.

That I was into it and
having fun, you know?

And I guess I was, you know, until...

But there's no picture
of that, is there?

No proof.

You know, maybe if there was, maybe...

maybe I'd be dealing with my
sh*t a little better, right?

Nina, I am so sorry that I said that
stuff to you yesterday, honestly.

You were right, though.

I...

I cheated on Garrett with Michael.

- And when you called me out...
- I didn't mean to call you out.

No, but you should have.

[NINA BREATHES SHAKILY]

I wanted to be strong for you...

to be what you needed, but I'm not.

And I don't think that I ever will be.

Maybe we're just gonna
never stop being victims.

You said that Hannah pursued
you after that football game

at the beginning of your junior year.

Did it ever turn physical?

Yes. We had kind of an
on-again, off-again thing.

[SONYA] So... you had
sex more than once?

[BRYCE] We did.

[SONYA] So, Hannah initiated
this "on-again, off-again thing"?

Yes, she did.

She took me to Hickman's Bridge...

which, honestly, I remember
thinking was kind of creepy.

[HANNAH] I like the idea that somebody

built this thing that holds people up,

helps them get where they need to go.

And yet, one wrong turn...

and you're plummeting
down, down, down, splat.

Game over.

- Did you take me out here to m*rder me?
- [LAUGHS]

No, I just... [LAUGHS]

You know, we take it for granted...

Life and, like, how precarious it is.

I don't know, coming here, it
helps me step out of mine sometimes.

Yeah.

And to remember how precious life is.

Exactly.

[SONYA] How do you mean "it was creepy"?

Well, just the whole bridge thing.

Being obsessed with a place like that.

I just wish I had realized
it might have been a sign.

[SONYA] And how many times
did you go to Hickman's Bridge?

Gosh, I don't know. Um, quite a few.

I guess it kind of became our place.

[SONYA] And what did you do there?

[BRYCE] Sometimes we just made
out, um, looked at the stars.

Sometimes we made love.

- Are you sure you want to?
- I'm sure.

[SONYA] Did things ever evolve
into a committed relationship?

Not really.

Did you want it to?

Um, I had a great time with Hannah,

but she wasn't really
girlfriend material.

Hannah had a reputation.

And she didn't deserve it at
all, but you know how kids are.

I was too ashamed to admit
that I was having sex with her.

And how did Hannah feel about that?

I think she wanted more.

She would always hang around
after football games,

after baseball practice...

["HIGH" PLAYS]

Isn't it, like, freedom,
being on your own, though?

I mean, I think your
life sounds amazing.

Yeah, yeah, it mostly is.

- That looks good on you.
- [CHUCKLES]

- Let me get a picture.
- Oh, no way. No photos.

- Come on! You're so beautiful.
- [LAUGHS]

I would probably hide the pipe, though.

You don't want people to
think you're a complete stoner.

[BRYCE LAUGHS]

All right.

So beautiful.

- Unh-unh.
- Oh, God, no!

- I don't want to see it.
- What?

- I don't want to look at myself.
- Seriously?

Because I could look at you forever.

[HANNAH] I wanted to
be with him forever.

I was in love with him.

[SONYA] Bryce, you said that Hannah

wanted a more serious relationship, yes?

[BRYCE] Yes.

- [SONYA] Did she tell you so?
- [BRYCE] She did.

- When?
- The night of my party.

And that was the party
on September th?

Correct.

And what made you think that Hannah
wanted something more serious?

Because she told me so.

After we had sex, she said
that she wanted to be exclusive.

And I said, you know, "I
like you, but as a friend."

[SONYA] So how do you
explain Hannah's report

that you did something
to her at that party?

She lied to Mr. Porter.

Why would she do that?

Because she was hurt and
angry. I... I get that.

I tried to let her down gently.

Hannah really was a fantastic girl,

but, look, she let her
emotions carry her away, right?

In high school... it's emotional.

What if Marcus calls your dad, too, huh?

We have to get him back, you know?

I'm trying to look out for you, okay?

What about my sister?

I told you, I'm sorry
about everything...

[BOY] Hey, Tyler.

You wanna go to a movie sometime?

[MOANS]

- [BOYS LAUGH]
- [GIRLS GASP]

Thank you very much. Mr. Wentworth.

[GIRL] Here you go.

[RICK] Thank you. Paxton.
Thank you very much.

I was surprised to see you in class.

Oh, yeah, I uh... figured my
education was more important

than sitting around
a courtroom, you know.

'Course.

Plus, can't play ball
without that average, right?

[SCOFFS] Uh, listen, Coach, I...

Look, you had a disagreement, okay?

It happens. Sometimes brothers fight.

But that doesn't mean
they're not still your family.

Those guys aren't my family.

Well, what about me?

Wasn't I there for you when
you came to me last summer?

- Yeah.
- Didn't we figure that out together?

How to be strong for
your family, your mom?

Little May?

Zach, you think you can be there
for your team and for me... now?

You don't get to do that, okay?

Just because you were
there, you think you can...?

You know, if you were any kind of
father, to this team or to anyone,

you would've stopped
their bullshit years ago.

That means I quit.

Bryce, you've gotten
physical with other classmates

against their wishes, haven't you?

Uh, not that I remember, no.

Not Tyler Down?

Isn't it true that you threw
Tyler Down against a locker?

Oh, maybe, but that's
just guys messing around.

He... He knew I was joking.

So you think Tyler thought
you were messing around?

- [SONYA] Objection.
- Withdrawn.

Let's talk about this
party that you mentioned.

It was on September
th of last year, right?

- Correct.
- It was a Saturday?

- Yes.
- It was a nice night?

Lots of stars, full moon?

Yeah.

- And your parents were out of town?
- Yes.

You were celebrating a big football
win from the night before, right?

We were celebrating a loss, actually.

- Uh...
- [BOYS LAUGH]

[BRYCE LAUGHS] We don't
win all that often.

[DENNIS] You were celebrating a
loss, and people had a drink or two?

Yes.

- Maybe three or four? - Sure.

- And Hannah Baker was there?
- Yes.

And she was somebody that you knew well,

- but who you weren't dating, right?
- Right.

- And Hannah got in the hot tub with you?
- Yes.

And everybody else
got out of the hot tub?

Yes.

- And you started to make out with her? - Yeah.

And you wanted to have
sex with her, right?

Yes.

- And you got really into it?
- Sure.

And you assumed that
she was into it, too,

- correct?
- Yes.

So you turned her around to
take her from behind, right?

Yes.

- You pulled down her underwear, right?
- Yes.

And you took your own
suit off as well, correct?

- Yes.
- [DENNIS] And, Bryce,

you usually use protection, don't you?

Uh, I do, usually.

But you didn't use protection
with her on that night, correct?

Correct.

[DENNIS] And you two didn't talk
about STDs or pregnancies, right?

[BRYCE] We did not, no.

And she never did actually say,
"I want to have sex with you,"

- isn't that correct?
- Correct.

And she didn't make any specific
gestures to indicate consent,

- isn't that correct?
- What, like... a thumbs-up?

- Did she give you a thumbs-up?
- She did not.

Then you had sex with her against
her will, isn't that correct?

No. No, that is not
correct. She came on to me.

She came on to you, but she never
said she wanted to have sex with you,

- isn't that correct?
- She clearly wanted to hook up.

But she never gave you her
consent, isn't that right?

I... I knew what she wanted.

You knew what she wanted, and yet
when she went to the school counselor

and reported that she had
been assaulted, that was a lie?

- Correct.
- Why would she lie?

- [SONYA] Objection. Calls for speculation.
- [DENNIS] I'll rephrase.

Was there anything in your encounter

that would have led Hannah to
report that she had been r*ped?

[SIGHS] I... I wish I knew.

I would never do that to any girl.

When I think about my
mom or my girlfriend...

[WHISPERS] Guys, Chlöe took off.

[BRYCE] I would never
want anyone to hurt them.

And I never hurt Hannah.

[BOY ] But I saw it.

- [BOY ] Oh.
- [BRYCE] Ah!

[BOYS LAUGHING, CHATTERING]

He lies through his f*cking teeth
and everybody shakes his hand.

- Are we sure he lied?
- Jesus, Clay, come on.

Those f*cking glasses?

[ALEX] We can't tell
Jessica about any of this.

We have to tell Jessica.

We need Chlöe.

Hey, Kevin.

Coach.

Listen. Have you been
talking to Zach Dempsey?

No, not lately. Why?

He's talking about quitting the team
because of this thing with Bryce.

Mm-hmm. "This thing."

- You mean that Bryce is a r*pist.
- [SCOFFS] Okay.

Kev, come on. Innocent
until proven guilty, huh?

So you think he's innocent?

I think he is.

I think that this is a witch hunt.

A troubled girl took her own
life, and we want to blame,

but it's not that simple.

I would hate to see someone's
future be ruined because of it.

I would've thought you of all
people would appreciate that, Kev.

No one wants a record.

[MR. PORTER CHUCKLES]

No. No, you're right.

No one wants to be on
the wrong side of the law.

What do you want?

I heard you walked out of court today...

while Bryce was on the stand.

Look, I know you're the one who
crossed out all that bullshit

about me in the stall.

Why?

Because you were on the squad.

I wanted to protect you.

I had already quit by then.

Do you remember going to a
place called the Clubhouse?

[CHLOE SIGHS]

This is gonna be hard to look at, okay?

Do you remember this happening?

[CHLOE GASPS]

Chlöe.

You don't remember, do you?

[CHLOE EXHALES]

Why would he do this?

Because... because he's a bad guy.

He's sick.

He's done this to me and
you and who knows who else.

And he takes pictures,

or, in my case, puts them
up on a whiteboard at school.

- Oh, God. Jess.
- What?

I never...

I... I thought those
pictures would scare you

into not calling Bryce out in court.

Wait, you put them up?

- I'm so sorry.
- What else have you done?

It was just the pictures.

I just...

I wanted to believe the
rumors about you were true.

God, he f*cking lied to me.

Do you wanna do something about it?

What if it's true?

Jesus, what if it's true?

How could you possibly
believe it's true?

The stuff about Zach was true.

Zach's a good person.

Deep down, he's a lot like you.

Oh, God, don't say sh*t like that.

Zach's just like the rest of them.

Zach, and Montgomery,
and Scott, and Bryce.

And Justin?

Justin let him r*pe Jessica.

Justin would give his
life to do that over.

He should. He should give his life.

He's your friend.

He's not my friend.

I was your friend.

So tell me he was lying.

Tell me Bryce was lying
about everything... now.

Jesus, Hannah, tell me he was lying!

- He told lies.
- It was all lies. All of it.

Don't think about it, Clay.

Just think about me.

Think about touching me.

Think about hugging me. How
it felt when we were close.

No, no! Stop it. I don't ever
want to think about that again.

Okay. Fine.

Just tell me what's true.

I need to know the truth.

Here we are. Tape .

If you've listened this far and
you haven't heard your name yet,

well, I bet you know
exactly what's coming now.

- Or maybe you don't have any idea.
- No.

- No! Damn it, no! Shut up!
- Could that be true?

- Don't do this! Leave me alone.
- Can a person be that sick?

- Let's find out.
- Leave me alone!

[DOOR OPENS]

Clay.

Clay, what... what is it?

[CLAY CRYING] I can't.

I can't do this.

Clay, listen.

Jess talked to Chlöe.

She's gonna meet with the lawyers.

We're gonna get him.

[DENNIS] Chlöe, Mrs. Rice,
our window is closing here.

To be clear, testifying that
Bryce r*ped you on campus,

you'd help support the argument
that Liberty's protection of rapists

allowed more r*pes to happen

and refute Bryce's testimony that
he had consensual sex with Hannah.

- Do you understand?
- I... I think so.

[OLIVIA] You mentioned,
uh, your little sister?

- Amelia.
- Amelia.

If you decide to testify
in that courtroom,

maybe the next girl,

maybe even Amelia will be safer.

Chlöe, I know this
is a lot. We know it.

And I know I'm asking you to
do the thing that I couldn't do,

that Hannah couldn't do.

But if you could do this for all of us,

whatever happens next,
we have your back.

It's up to you, sweetheart.
It's whatever you decide.

[MACKENZIE] Hey.

Hey.

Listen, I told one friend.

I was... I mean, I was just trying
to figure out what I did wrong...

so I told one friend, and she's an
assh*le and she told someone else,

and it just... it got out of control.

I'm sorry.

[CYRUS] Mack.

Cyrus, I'm talking to Tyler.

Come on.

The Coke machine at the commons
is giving out doubles again.

[BOYS CHEERING]

Jesus.

I would love to end those m*therf*ckers.

Right?

Then let's do it.

Nah. We wouldn't want you to
get a bloody nose or anything.

[TOBY LAUGHS]

I never thought I'd be
thanking Clay Jensen for a ride.

[BOYS CHATTERING]

[CHATTER CONTINUES]

f*ck me.

[JUSTIN] You're a g*dd*mn liar.

This does not end well.

[JUSTIN] You never hooked up
with Hannah. You would've told me.

Why? Because we were best
friends and I told you everything?

- [JUSTIN] I should k*ll you.
- Hey, chill out.

[LAUGHS]

Still gonna hide
behind your boys, Bryce?

I'm not hiding.

You wanna go?

[STUDENTS CLAMORING]

[TONY] Damn it.

I don't want to fight you. Just breathe.

f*gg*t.

You f*cking coward f*gg*t.

Oh, yes!

- Let's go, m*therf*ckers!
- Yeah!

- Just a minute, Coach.

- No talking, no devices.
- It's an emergency.

Chlöe's testifying... for the Bakers.

[SCOFFS] Only you could
talk us past Coach Patrick.

- That man still loves you.
- Yeah, I guess.

Oh, no.

- [CLAY] No. No, no, no!
- [TONY] What is it?

f*ck.

Wait, the... the box.

- The box, it's gone.
- Jesus, you left them in the f*cking car?

What was I supposed to do? Carry

It's child p*rn, for f*ck's sake.

It's Bryce. It had to be
Bryce. He was out ahead of us.

No. There's no way he had any
time. And he was with that lawyer.

Well, maybe they both did it.

We are so f*cked.

You lost them?

- Jesus, keep your voice down.
- What the f*ck, Justin?

- Bryce took them.
- Look, we'll get them back.

How? How are we gonna get them back?

[CHLOE] It's in the

It's this secret place that

unless you're on the baseball team.

And who invited you?

Bryce.

[DENNIS] When you got to the Clubhouse,

do you remember what happened next?

A little.

Just tell us what you can.

[EXHALES] Um...

It's... It's kind of a blur.

We... we listened to music.

And then... we, um,
we started drinking...

and smoking pot.

So, do you remember
these photos being taken?

No.

[DENNIS] So you don't remember
having sex with Bryce Walker?

Um...

Chlöe, you don't remember
having sex with Bryce Walker?

[CHLOE] No, I...

I do. I remember.

You remember what?

We had sex.

But you... you don't remember Bryce
asking for your consent, correct?

No, I... I do. I remember that now.

We were drinking, so
I had forgotten, but...

but I wanted to.

Well, God f*cking damn it.

I believed her.

I think she told us the truth before
she walked into that courtroom.

They got to her.

Somehow they got to her.

I don't know.

It's just been a few
hours, and Warren's an ass,

but he's a good lawyer,
and he plays by the rules.

That family doesn't. That boy doesn't.

And we just let him walk.

We can add them to the
suit if you want to.

Or file separately.
I'm sure they'd settle

before enduring another
round of headlines.

Oh, Dennis.

I don't want Bryce Walker's money.

I want him dead.

- Because that's when you showed up, Bryce.

Please don't.

You got into the hot tub
and turned off the jets.

Please.

I tried.

We tried, Hannah.

[CLAY] sh*t.

You're really good.

Just takes practice.

You know what really helps,
though, is if you name your targets.

- [STAMMERING] Name them?
- Yeah.

Like people you don't like or whatever.

Kind of helps you focus.

You know, do it all in your head. Watch.

Bryce Walker.

f*ck, yeah!

[CLAY EXHALES]

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

sh*t. Mr. Barbour must've called
the cops. Clay, we gotta go.

You turned me around and pushed the full

weight of your body into my back.

- Give me the g*n.
- [HANNAH] I couldn't move.

- Clay.
- I had no power.

Jesus, Clay, give me the g*n.

[SIREN WAILING]

Just run!

Oh, f*ck.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

[LOCK RATTLING]

[MR. PORTER] Hmm.

[OLIVIA STAMMERS]

This can't be the place, right?

It's the building that she described.

Well...

[STAMMERING] No, there were
other Polaroids of other girls.

There was proof.

You seem to be handling
everything very well.

Ah, pretty exhausting
day, I'm not gonna lie.

[CHUCKLES]

That was a... That was a whole thing.

You know, your father and I have always

given you a lot of freedom, Bryce.

We've always trusted that
you were responsible

enough to make good decisions.

Seems like it's worked
out pretty well so far.

I get to take care of myself,

you get to keep up your tan year round.

Everybody wins, right?

[NORA SCOFFS]

What happened with Hannah?

You were there yesterday.

I don't think we heard the whole story.

She came on to me. We had sex.

I mean, I know you're
aware I'm sexually active.

You've known since you
walked in on me last year.

[NORA CLEARS HER THROAT]

Turned and walked out
and never said anything,

but you saw a whole lot of naked.

And what happened with Chlöe?

A whole lot of naked there, too.

Chlöe's got problems, okay?
She comes from a broken home.

So you had sex with her
when she was unconscious?

I didn't force her to get drunk
and stoned at : in the afternoon.

Oh, just like you didn't force Hannah
to get into the hot tub with you.

Why do you care? You
didn't even know Hannah.

Did you? Or was she just
another thing that you wanted?

You want to know what happened
with me and Hannah, Mom?

She got in the hot tub with me,

no suit, just panties and a
bra over those very nice tits.

And she looked at me
like... like she was hungry.

And, yeah, I wanted her.

I just...

I just had to have her.

So I took her, I turned her around,

and I f*cked her from behind.

Hard.

Until she cried.

Is that what you want to hear?

You've brought shame on this family.

- You're a stranger in this house.
- [CHUCKLES]

Always have been, Mom.

Is Mrs. Baker coming back tonight?

Nah, she's gone for the day.

Why don't you head home? I'll lock up.

Okay.

Thanks.

Oh, there was a package left
for you earlier, on the counter.

- Who left it?
- I don't know. Just showed up.

[JUSTIN] It wouldn't have
mattered if Chlöe came through.

- Don't you dare blame Chlöe.
- No, I know, I'm just saying...

She wasn't ready.

She wasn't strong
enough to tell her story,

- and that's not her fault.
- I know.

If she says it out loud,

if she points at him
and says, "He did this,"

her whole world comes crashing down.

Hasn't your whole world
come crashing down?

I wish I could fix this, Jess.

I would do anything to take
everything you've been through,

- and put it on me.
- You can't.

No, I can't.

But you can let me point at
him and say, "He did this."

["THE k*lling MOON" PLAYING]

Justin, it's me again.

I'm gonna need you to
bring my car and meet me...

meet me at the bottom of Vaughan's Hill.

Um...

I got something I gotta do.

When I tried to climb out of
the hot tub, you grabbed my arm.

You traced your fingers down
my bra strap and over my bra.

I know. I know. I'm taking care of it.

You pulled my underwear down and used

your body to keep me trapped there.

I was frozen. I was terrified.

Just... I remember, okay?

I remember.

[HELICOPTER NOISE]

[GROANS]

How are you so f*cking good at this?

It's natural-born talent, Montgomery.

And practice. We've been
playing for, like, five hours.

[GIRL GROANS]

What the f*ck?

[GROANS]

- [ALEX] Jesus!
- [MONTGOMERY LAUGHS]

[GIRL GRUNTING, STRUGGLING]

- I thought everyone went home.
- [MONTGOMERY] Yeah, me, too.

[MEN SHOUTING IN VIDEO GAME]

[GIRL GRUNTING]

Who is it?

[MONTGOMERY] Just Bryce f*cking
some chick in the hot tub.

Must be a desperate slut at this hour.

[MONTGOMERY] Yeah. [SCOFFS]

You could've stopped it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That night at the
party. Hannah and Bryce.

Please, Bryce.

Hannah's dead because of us.

[HANNAH GRUNTS]

So, Hannah initiated this
"on-again, off-again thing"?

[BRYCE] Yes, she did. She...
she took me to Hickman's Bridge.

[BRYCE] One wrong turn...

and you're plummeting down, down, down.

[CLAPS SOFTLY]

Splat.

Game over.

Did you bring me here to m*rder me?

[LAUGHS] No. No, I just...

I just mean we take it
for granted is all...

life and how precarious it is.

Coming here helps me step
out of mine sometimes.

I think I get it.

We should, uh... we should get back.

[BRYCE] Sometimes we just made
out, um, looked at the stars.

Sometimes we made love.

[SIGHS]

[HANNAH] Jeez, it's freezing in here.

- Does this place have any heat?
- Oh, sh*t. Uh, no.

Sorry.

Here, take this.

[LAUGHS]

Isn't it, like, freedom,
being on your own?

Yeah, I guess.

I got plenty of freedom, though.

It'd be nice to have them
show up every now and then.

That sounds kind of lonely.

Eh, sometimes, yeah.

I don't really talk about this
stuff with a lot of people.

It's nice.

Yeah, it is.

That looks good on you.

Let me get a picture.

- Oh, no way. No photos.
- What?

Come on. You're so beautiful.

Well, I probably
shouldn't pose with this.

Don't want everyone to think the
new girl is a complete stoner.

[LAUGHS]

So, your parents,

have you ever tried to have, like,
a real conversation with them?

Let them know how you feel
about them being away

all the time and everything?

Whoa. Um...

What's the matter? I thought
we were having a good time.

We are. It's just, um...

I like you, but as a friend.

[BRYCE] Yeah. Okay, sure.

[SIGHS]

[HANNAH GASPING]

[BRYCE PANTING] Oh, yeah.

[HANNAH CRIES OUT]

[CLAY] Why were you in
the Clubhouse with him?

When I tried to climb out of the
hot tub, you pulled me back in.

Tell me, or I'll ask him myself.

You told me we were "just having fun."

I'll make him hurt. I'll make
him understand what he did.

I struggled, but you
were too strong for me.

You pulled my underwear down and
used your body to trap me there.

Clay, what are you doing?

Where did you get that?

You gripped my wrists and
pushed yourself inside of me.

- Get out of my way, Justin.
- Come on, Clay, this is f*cking crazy.

It felt like a Kn*fe cutting me open.

No one's gonna get justice for her.

- Hey, come on. Hey!
- Move!

I begged you, "Please, Bryce,"
but you told me to relax.

I talked to Jessica today.
She wants me to testify.

- Bullshit. No, she doesn't.
- Yes, I swear, she does.

You said you would go "nice and
easy," but you went harder and faster.

So you'll just run away
or f*cking overdose again?

Clay, come on.

When I cried out in
pain, you grabbed my hair

like the sound of my pain
made it better for you.

I can't count on anyone else
anymore. I have to do this myself.

You don't have to do this
yourself. We can get him tomorrow.

- I need to do it now.
- [JUSTIN] Why?

I just tried to leave my body. I
tried to forget the anger and pain.

- For Hannah.
- [JUSTIN] Listen, Clay,

I know you loved her, but she's gone.

And going in there and hurting Bryce
now is not gonna bring her back.

She's gone.

[HANNAH] If you're lucky,
you live a long life,

and one day, your body just
gives up, and it's over.

How do I make her stop? She won't stop.

Make who stop? Who, Clay?
Who are you talking about?

- There are two kinds of death.
- [JUSTIN] Clay!

If you're not lucky,
you die a little bit...

- [JUSTIN] Clay, come on.
- Over and over,

until you realize it's too late.

- [SOBS]
- [JUSTIN] Just stop. Give me the g*n.

What the f*ck?

And in that moment, it felt...

it felt like I was already dead.
