Cassie, I asked you a question.
She didn’t see anything.
I’m not asking you. I’m asking her.
I already told Mrs. Jacobs I didn’t see anything.
I know. We just don’t believe you.
I’m telling the truth.
Look, Cassie, I’m more than happy to get the Chief of Police, Bill Greenwood, involved. Old family friend. Maybe he should have this conversation with you. With everyone, in fact. You know? Get everyone’s cell phones. Text histories. Find out what exactly happened. Should we do that instead? [beat; Cassie looks over at Lexi] Don’t look at her. Look at me.
[Cut to Cassie and Lexi in their bedroom after Cassie confesses what happened]
Why would you say that?
What?! What was I supposed to do?
Not say anything.
You heard him! He was going to call the police!
No, he wasn’t. He was bluffing, and you fell for it ’cause you’re a fucking idiot!
Why do you even care?!
Because you just ruined someone’s life!
Fezco almost killed Nate! That was his decision!
[Lexi lies in her bed in frustration]
[V.O.] Lexi had thought about that night a lot. How could Fezco be so kind to her, and so violent towards Nate? She couldn’t remember the last time someone her age asked her so many questions about herself. He actually cared about what she had to say. And then, ten minutes later… almost beat Nate Jacobs to death. And even if Nate deserved it, it was a horrible thing to do. It made her think about her entire life. How she’s always been so passive. How she never had the courage to say anything. And even the time when she did get the courage to say something...
Rue, you really need to get help.
What, are you gonna tell my mom or something?
Yeah, if you don’t stop.
[V.O.] ...she backed down. She hated herself for being so weak and passive and afraid. So, a couple of days after Cal came over, she decided to say something.
