FunTranscript
00:00:00I know exactly how tonight ends. I've already died in it once. Cole Whitfield, starting QB, Yale football recruit, my
00:00:07childhood friend, I've always liked him.
00:00:10Ivy's birthday! Warehouse on Delancey! No one's checking! Midnight! Everyone's going!
00:00:18Cole, the SAT is tomorrow morning. That place serves real alcohol. My dad works the ER. He's treated kids from
00:00:26this school this year.
00:00:27More than once.
00:00:31Are you seriously doing this right now?
00:00:36Mara! It's my birthday. I've invited you. Can you just not?
00:00:47She's just mad Cole is doing something nice for Ivy.
00:00:50That night I called every single person. I was at the testing center at 7.30am. I made sure they
00:00:56all showed up. They aced the SAT. Then the results came in. And with them, the news. Ivy went to
00:01:03the warehouse alone. Someone dumped Everlight into the punch bowl. Ivy had three cups.
00:01:12Someone assaulted her.
00:01:13Cole decided it was my fault. Everyone agreed.
00:01:16If you hadn't stopped us, someone would have been there to protect her!
00:01:19They pushed me down the third floor stairwells.
00:01:22I died on the spot. Cole watched.
00:01:25When the police asked, the whole class said the same thing.
00:01:27I threatened them. And when they stopped me, I tried to run and fell.
00:01:30Every call I made that night became evidence against me.
00:01:33Someone found our address online.
00:01:35Someone poured gasoline at our front door and lit it.
00:01:38My parents were inside.
00:01:40Cole lived next door.
00:01:42He stood on the balcony watching the fire.
00:01:45Only after my parents stopped screaming, did he call 911.
00:01:49I found all of this out after I was already dead.
00:01:53I also found out the truth about Ivy.
00:01:56Every single piece of it was planned by her.
00:02:02Cole's voice reached me before I was fully awake.
00:02:08Is Mara actually coming? She's going to kill the whole vibe.
00:02:11She rewrote two of my papers last month. She's useful.
00:02:14So what is she? Your tutor or your errand girl?
00:02:19Neither.
00:02:20She's just...
00:02:21She's always around. She likes being useful.
00:02:24It's basically her whole personality.
00:02:30That's all I ever was to him.
00:02:32Same 15 people.
00:02:34Same cheer.
00:02:35Same room.
00:02:36I'm back.
00:02:37Last time I lost everything.
00:02:39My parents.
00:02:40My home.
00:02:41This time I won't make the same mistake again.
00:02:44Mara, you're coming too, right?
00:02:46I did invite you.
00:02:47Have fun, Ivy.
00:02:49You're not going to lecture us?
00:02:51Nope.
00:02:51Last time you ran home and called everyone's parents. Not this time.
00:02:54He grabbed my wrist hard.
00:02:56His other hand went into my bag and pulled out driver's license.
00:03:02No photo ID.
00:03:04No entry at the testing center.
00:03:08You know the rules?
00:03:10Stay quiet tonight.
00:03:11Don't ruin Ivy's birthday.
00:03:12And you get this back tomorrow morning.
00:03:14Simple.
00:03:15Cole is the QB.
00:03:16Nobody moves when Cole does something.
00:03:24Don't make this a thing, Mara.
00:03:26It's one night.
00:03:28Cole, that is the only thing I need to get into the testing center tomorrow.
00:03:32Give it back.
00:03:33Come with us and you'll have it back in the morning.
00:03:35Stop being difficult.
00:03:49Cole walked me to the old gym at the end of the hallway.
00:03:53No cameras back there.
00:04:00Relax.
00:04:01It's just one night.
00:04:01I'll come back for you after.
00:04:03Cole, I have a test tomorrow.
00:04:05Tonight is about Ivy.
00:04:06Not you.
00:04:07It was never about you.
00:04:09Something hard hit the floor outside the door.
00:04:11He stomped on my phone.
00:04:13Cole!
00:04:16His footsteps faded.
00:04:19Nothing left.
00:04:20Just the dark and the sound of my own breathing.
00:04:23I have a backup phone in my jacket pocket.
00:04:25I could call 911 right now.
00:04:27Officers would be here in five minutes.
00:04:30Cole's Yale recruitment would be gone tonight.
00:04:32But that's not what I want.
00:04:34I want Ivy's plan to run.
00:04:36I need her to believe she won.
00:04:38The only way this ends for good is everyone can see how deep the hole goes.
00:04:43I opened the screen recorder, hit record, started talking.
00:04:47My name is Mara Scott.
00:04:49Today is Friday, October 14th.
00:04:53Cole Whitfield, starting QB at Harlington Academy and Yale football recruit, just locked me in the old gymtasium.
00:05:02He took my driver's license so I cannot enter the SAT testing center tomorrow.
00:05:07Last time I had nothing, just my word against 15 people who had already agreed on their story.
00:05:12This time, everything is on record before a single lie gets told.
00:05:17Forty minutes later, my dad found me.
00:05:20Who did this?
00:05:24Dad, do not go to the school.
00:05:25Do not call anyone.
00:05:26Mara!
00:05:27Do not talk to any other parents about tonight, no matter what you hear tomorrow.
00:05:31Promise me first.
00:05:33He looked at my hands.
00:05:35He looked at my face.
00:05:37He made the promise.
00:05:38We walked to the car.
00:05:40He did not ask anything else until the doors were closed.
00:05:47Tell me.
00:05:49I want to submit my McGill application tonight.
00:05:52Test optional early action.
00:05:55I don't need an SAT score.
00:05:57I want to leave.
00:05:58You've been putting that application off for three months.
00:06:00You said you wanted to stay because...
00:06:02I was wrong about what I was staying for.
00:06:09He did not push.
00:06:11He started the car.
00:06:17The last time I sat in a car in the dark waiting for something to be over was last fall.
00:06:23Three seasons of opponent breakdowns for Cole.
00:06:26One notebook a week.
00:06:27He never once asked who wrote them.
00:06:32I saw the car before he did.
00:06:35It came in from the far entrance.
00:06:36Too fast.
00:06:37No headlights.
00:06:39It was aimed at him.
00:06:40No time to think.
00:06:41I moved.
00:06:44The car didn't stop.
00:06:46It just drove away.
00:06:47I got up.
00:06:48My ankle was on fire.
00:06:50Cole was on the ground and not moving.
00:06:52And I called 911.
00:06:53911, and I stayed with him until I could hear the sirens.
00:07:01I wrote.
00:07:02Good luck.
00:07:03I put it back.
00:07:04I stepped away before the paramedics reached him.
00:07:22I found out later that Cole woke up, and the first face he saw was hers.
00:07:29I found out later what she let him believe.
00:07:33I wrapped my ankle myself.
00:07:35The cut was deep enough to scar.
00:07:37But the next day was Cole's game, and I didn't want him to know.
00:07:41Cole didn't know I wasn't there until after the game.
00:07:43He won.
00:07:44He texted me one line.
00:07:46You missed it.
00:07:55You missed the game.
00:07:58I know.
00:07:59How's your head?
00:08:00Fine.
00:08:01Why weren't you there?
00:08:02Something came up.
00:08:03You knew how important this game was.
00:08:05He didn't notice my leg was hurt.
00:08:07That was the last home game of the season.
00:08:11He won.
00:08:12He got his Yale letter three months later.
00:08:16The notebook from that week is still in his bag.
00:08:18He carries it to every game.
00:08:20He has never once opened it in front of me.
00:08:23He does not know that the handwriting on the last page is mine.
00:08:27He thinks Ivy saved him.
00:08:30I never corrected it.
00:08:32I knew he wouldn't believe me.
00:08:38I opened the group chat on my backup phone.
00:08:40Party photos.
00:08:42Everyone packed into the warehouse.
00:08:44A big punch bowl in the center.
00:08:46The crowd was still cheering.
00:08:48Two people in the back were already on the floor.
00:08:51Someone posted another video from the party.
00:08:55Hey, where's your little girlfriend, Mara?
00:08:58She's not my girlfriend.
00:09:02Really?
00:09:04Can I ask her out then?
00:09:06I think she's kind of great.
00:09:08Why would you go for her?
00:09:11Prove it.
00:09:13It's just background.
00:09:28Coal burned my test ID.
00:09:31He knew how much that exam is meant to me.
00:09:35It just didn't matter to him.
00:09:39I opened my laptop.
00:09:41McGill portal.
00:09:42Early action.
00:09:44Test optional box.
00:09:47Uploaded everything.
00:09:48Hit submit.
00:09:49Last time I gave this up for Cole,
00:09:52I believed him.
00:09:54I stayed.
00:09:57I lost everything.
00:10:09Alcohol poisoning.
00:10:11A group of students.
00:10:12I have to go in.
00:10:18Stay at the hospital all day.
00:10:20If anyone asks you were there all night,
00:10:21do not come to the school.
00:10:23Do not let your name get into whatever story starts today.
00:10:27What story?
00:10:29The kind where they need someone to blame.
00:10:31Stay out of it.
00:10:32Promise me.
00:10:39I promise.
00:10:41He left.
00:10:42I sat in the quiet kitchen.
00:10:45Mom was humming in the other room.
00:10:47The coffee maker was running.
00:10:50Birds outside.
00:10:52Everything still here.
00:10:54They are not taking this from me again.
00:11:04Where is everyone?
00:11:06Testing starts in 30 minutes.
00:11:10Twelve students with alcohol poisoning last night.
00:11:12Police said someone spiked the punch bowl with Everclear.
00:11:15Three are in the ICU.
00:11:22Most of my top students are in the hospital right now.
00:11:30Mara.
00:11:31Good.
00:11:32You're here.
00:11:33Where's your ID?
00:11:34Cole Whitfield took my driver's license from my bag last night.
00:11:36He walked me to the back of the old gym and locked me in so I couldn't stop them from
00:11:40going to the party.
00:11:42I have it on video.
00:11:45My phone buzzed.
00:11:47Ivy had just gone live.
00:11:48We just wanted to celebrate.
00:11:50Mara told us the party was safe.
00:11:53She said she had been there before.
00:11:54She wanted us to go.
00:11:56She had a problem with Cole.
00:11:58She knew her dad worked at that hospital.
00:12:00I think she wanted something to go wrong.
00:12:03My son is in the ICU.
00:12:05You did this?
00:12:06No.
00:12:06I have the video.
00:12:08Everything from last night is on record.
00:12:10Cole just confirmed it on camera.
00:12:13You told them to go.
00:12:14I looked at the live stream.
00:12:16Cole's mouth was moving.
00:12:17He still would not look at the camera.
00:12:19The QB who throws touchdowns in front of 2,000 people every Friday night could not look at
00:12:24a camera right now.
00:12:25Everything from last night is uploaded and time-stammed.
00:12:29Before any of you agreed on your story.
00:12:31You want to keep going?
00:12:32Go ahead.
00:12:32Ivy saw my phone on the stream.
00:12:34Her face changed.
00:12:35Just for a second.
00:12:37Cole finally looked at the camera.
00:12:39He was not angry.
00:12:40He was not confident.
00:12:41He was scared.
00:12:42There's one more thing I need to say.
00:12:44This is really hard for me.
00:12:45Mara's father is the attending physician at Mercy General right now.
00:12:48He is treating our classmates.
00:12:50I am not saying he did anything wrong on purpose.
00:12:52I am just saying if that was my child in that hospital, I would want to know.
00:12:59I know exactly how tonight ends.
00:13:01I've already died in it once.
00:13:03Cole Whitfield.
00:13:04Starting QB.
00:13:05Yale football recruit.
00:13:06My childhood friend.
00:13:07I've always liked him.
00:13:08Ivy's birthday.
00:13:10Warehouse on Delancey.
00:13:11No one's checking.
00:13:12Midnight.
00:13:13Everyone's going.
00:13:17Cole, the SAT is tomorrow morning.
00:13:20That place serves real alcohol.
00:13:22My dad works the ER.
00:13:24He's treated kids from this school this year.
00:13:27More than once.
00:13:30Are you seriously doing this right now?
00:13:34Mara.
00:13:35It's my birthday.
00:13:38I've invited you.
00:13:40Can you just not?
00:13:46She's just mad Cole is doing something nice for Ivy.
00:13:49That night I called every single person.
00:13:51I was at the testing center at 7.30 a.m.
00:13:54I made sure they all showed up.
00:13:56They aced the SAT.
00:13:57Then the results came in.
00:13:59And with them, the news.
00:14:01Ivy went to the warehouse alone.
00:14:04Someone dumped Everlight into the punch bowl.
00:14:07Ivy had three cups.
00:14:11Someone assaulted her.
00:14:12Cole decided it was my fault.
00:14:14Everyone agreed.
00:14:15If you hadn't stopped us, someone would have been there to protect her.
00:14:18They pushed me down the third floor stairwells.

00:15:06Is Mara actually coming?
00:15:08She's going to kill the whole vibe.
00:15:10She rewrote two of my papers last month.
00:15:12She's useful.
00:15:13So what is she?

00:15:39My home.
00:15:40This time I won't make the same mistake again.
00:15:43Mara, you're coming too, right?
00:15:45I did invite you.
00:15:46Have fun, Ivy.
00:15:48You're not going to lecture us?
00:15:50Nope.
00:15:50Last time you ran home and called everyone's parents.
00:15:52Not this time.
00:15:53He grabbed my wrist hard.
00:15:55His other hand went into my bag and pulled out driver's license.
00:16:01No photo ID.
00:16:03No entry at the testing center.
00:16:07You know the rules?
00:16:09Stay quiet tonight.
00:16:10Don't ruin Ivy's birthday.
00:16:11And you get this back tomorrow morning.
00:16:13Simple.
00:16:14Cole is the QB.
00:16:16Nobody moves when Cole does something.
00:16:23Don't make this a thing, Mara.
00:16:25It's one night.
00:16:27Cole, that is the only thing I need to get into the testing center tomorrow.
00:16:31Give it back.
00:16:32Come with us and you'll have it back in the morning.
00:16:34Stop being difficult.
00:16:48Cole walked me to the old gym at the end of the hallway.
00:16:52No cameras back there.
00:16:59Relax.
00:16:59It's just one night.
00:17:00I'll come back for you after.
00:17:01Cole, I have a test tomorrow.
00:17:04Tonight is about Ivy.
00:17:05Not you.
00:17:06It was never about you.
00:17:08Something hard hit the floor outside the door.
00:17:10He stomped on my phone.
00:17:12Cole!
00:17:15His footsteps faded.
00:17:18Nothing left.
00:17:19Just the dark and the sound of my own breathing.
00:17:22I have a backup phone in my jacket pocket.
00:17:24I could call 911 right now.
00:17:26Officers would be here in five minutes.
00:17:28Cole's Yale recruitment would be gone tonight.
00:17:31But that's not what I want.
00:17:33I want Ivy's plan to run.
00:17:35I need her to believe she won.
00:17:37The only way this ends for good is everyone can see how deep the hole goes.
00:17:42I open the screen recorder.
00:17:44Hit record.
00:17:44Started talking.
00:17:46My name is Mara Scott.
00:17:48Today is Friday, October 14th.
00:17:51Cole Whitfield, starting QB at Harlington Academy and Yale football recruit,
00:17:58just locked me in the old gymtasium.
00:18:01He took my driver's license so I cannot enter the SAT testing center tomorrow.
00:18:06Last time I had nothing.
00:18:07Just my word against 15 people who had already agreed on their story.
00:18:11This time, everything is on record before a single lie gets told.
00:18:16Forty minutes later, my dad found me.
00:18:19Who did this?
00:18:23Dad, do not go to the school.
00:18:24Do not call anyone.
00:18:25Mara!
00:18:26Do not talk to any other parents about tonight, no matter what you hear tomorrow.
00:18:30Promise me first.
00:18:32He looked at my hands.
00:18:34He looked at my face.
00:18:36He made the promise.
00:18:38We walked to the car.
00:18:39He did not ask anything else until the doors were closed.
00:18:46Tell me.
00:18:48I want to submit my McGill application tonight.
00:18:51Test optional early action.
00:18:54I don't need an SAT score.
00:18:56I want to leave.
00:18:57You've been putting that application off for three months.
00:19:00You said you wanted to stay because...
00:19:01I was wrong about what I was staying for.
00:19:08He did not push.
00:19:10He started the car.
00:19:16The last time I sat in a car in the dark waiting for something to be over was last fall.
00:19:22Three seasons of opponent breakdowns for Cole.
00:19:25One notebook a week.
00:19:26He never once asked who wrote them.
00:19:31I saw the car before he did.
00:19:34It came in from the far entrance.
00:19:35Too fast.
00:19:36No headlights.
00:19:38It was aimed at him.
00:19:39No time to think.
00:19:40I moved.
00:19:43The car didn't stop.
00:19:44It just drove away.
00:19:46I got up.
00:19:47My ankle was on fire.
00:19:49Cole was on the ground and not moving and I called 911 and I stayed with him until I could
00:19:54hear the sirens.
00:20:00I wrote, good luck.
00:20:02I put it back.
00:20:03I stepped away before the paramedics reached him.
00:20:21I found out later that Cole woke up and the first face he saw was hers.
00:20:28I found out later what she let him believe.
00:20:32I wrapped my ankle myself.
00:20:34The cut was deep enough to scar.
00:20:35But the next day was Cole's game and I didn't want him to know.
00:20:40Cole didn't know I wasn't there until after the game.
00:20:42He won.
00:20:43He texted me one line.
00:20:45You missed it.
00:20:54You missed the game.
00:20:57I know.
00:20:58How's your head?
00:20:59Fine.
00:21:00Why weren't you there?
00:21:01Something came up.
00:21:02You knew how important this game was.
00:21:04He didn't notice my leg was hurt.
00:21:06That was the last home game of the season.
00:21:10He won.
00:21:11He got his Yale letter three months later.
00:21:15The notebook from that week is still in his bag.
00:21:17He carries it to every game.
00:21:19He has never once opened it in front of me.
00:21:22He does not know that the handwriting on the last page is mine.
00:21:26He thinks Ivy saved him.
00:21:29I never corrected it.
00:21:31I knew he wouldn't believe me.
00:21:37I opened the group chat on my backup phone.
00:21:40Party photos.
00:21:41Everyone packed into the warehouse.
00:21:43A big punch bowl in the center.
00:21:45The crowd was still cheering.
00:21:47Two people in the back were already on the floor.
00:21:50Someone posted another video from the party.
00:21:54Hey, where's your little girlfriend Mara?
00:21:58She's not my girlfriend.
00:22:01Really?
00:22:03Can I ask her out then?
00:22:05I think she's kind of great.
00:22:07Why would you go for her?
00:22:10Prove it.
00:22:12She's background.
00:22:27Coal burned my test ID.
00:22:30He knew how much that exam is meant to me.
00:22:34It just didn't matter to him.
00:22:38I opened my laptop.
00:22:40McGill portal.
00:22:41Early action.
00:22:43Test optional box.
00:22:46Uploaded everything.
00:22:47Hit submit.
00:22:48Last time I gave this up for Cole.
00:22:51I believed him.
00:22:53I stayed.
00:22:56I lost everything.
00:23:08Alcohol poisoning.
00:23:10A group of students.
00:23:11I have to go in.
00:23:17Stay at the hospital all day.
00:23:19If anyone asks you were there all night,
00:23:20do not come to the school.
00:23:22Do not let your name get into whatever story starts today.
00:23:25What story?
00:23:27The kind where they need someone to blame.
00:23:30Stay out of it.
00:23:31Promise me.
00:23:38I promise.
00:23:40He left.
00:23:41I sat in the quiet kitchen.
00:23:44Mom was humming in the other room.
00:23:46The coffee maker was running.
00:23:49Birds outside.
00:23:51Everything still here.
00:23:53They are not taking this from me again.
00:24:03Where is everyone?
00:24:05Testing starts in 30 minutes.
00:24:09Twelve students with alcohol poisoning last night.
00:24:11Police said someone spiked the punch bowl with Everclear.
00:24:14Three are in the ICU.
00:24:21Most of my top students are in the hospital right now.
00:24:29Mara!
00:24:30Good.
00:24:31You're here.
00:24:32Where's your ID?
00:24:33Cole Whitfield took my driver's license from my bag last night.
00:24:35He walked me to the back of the old gym and locked me in
00:24:38so I couldn't stop them from going to the party.
00:24:41I have it on video.
00:24:44My phone buzzed.
00:24:46Ivy had just gone live.
00:24:47We just wanted to celebrate.
00:24:49Mara told us the party was safe.
00:24:51She said she had been there before.
00:24:53She wanted us to go.
00:24:55She had a problem with Cole.
00:24:57She knew her dad worked at that hospital.
00:24:59I think she wanted something to go wrong.
00:25:02My son is in the ICU!
00:25:04You did this?
00:25:05No, I have the video.
00:25:07Everything from last night is on record.
00:25:09Cole just confirmed it on camera.
00:25:12You told them to go.
00:25:13I looked at the live stream.
00:25:15Cole's mouth was moving.
00:25:16He still would not look at the camera.
00:25:18The QB who throws touchdowns in front of 2,000 people every Friday night
00:25:22could not look at a camera right now.
00:25:24Everything from last night is uploaded and time-stammed.
00:25:28Before any of you agreed on your story.
00:25:30You want to keep going?
00:25:31Go ahead.
00:25:31Ivy saw my phone on the stream.
00:25:33Her face changed.
00:25:34Just for a second.
00:25:36Cole finally looked at the camera.
00:25:38He was not angry.
00:25:38He was not confident.
00:25:40He was scared.
00:25:41There's one more thing I need to say.
00:25:42This is really hard for me.
00:25:44Mara's father is the attending physician at Mercy General right now.
00:25:47He is treating our classmates.
00:25:49I am not saying he did anything wrong on purpose.
00:25:51I am just saying, if that was my child in that hospital, I would want to know.
00:25:58I know exactly how tonight ends.
00:26:00I've already died in it once.
00:26:02Cole Whitfield, starting QB, Yale football recruit, my childhood friend.
00:26:06I've always liked him.
00:26:08Ivy's birthday.
00:26:09Warehouse on Delancey.
00:26:10No one's checking.
00:26:11Midnight.
00:26:12Everyone's going.
00:26:16Cole, the SAT is tomorrow morning.
00:26:19That place serves real alcohol.
00:26:21My dad works the ER.
00:26:23He's treated kids from this school this year.
00:26:26More than once.
00:26:29Are you seriously doing this right now?
00:26:33Mara.
00:26:34It's my birthday.
00:26:37I even invited you.
00:26:39Can you just not?
00:26:45She's just mad Cole is doing something nice for Ivy.
00:26:48That night, I called every single person.
00:26:50I was at the testing center at 7.30 a.m.
00:26:53I made sure they all showed up.
00:26:55They aced the SAT.
00:26:56Then the results came in.
00:26:58And with them, the news.
00:27:00Ivy went to the warehouse alone.
00:27:03Someone dumped Everlight into the punch bowl.
00:27:06Ivy had three cups.
00:27:09Someone assaulted her.
00:27:11Cole decided it was my fault.
00:27:13Everyone agreed.
00:27:14If you hadn't stopped us, someone would have been there to protect her.
00:27:17They pushed me down the third floor stairwells.
00:27:20I died on the spot.
00:27:22Cole watched.
00:27:22When the police asked, the whole class said the same thing.
00:27:25I threatened them.
00:27:26And when they stopped me, I tried to run and fell.
00:27:28Every call I made that night became evidence against me.
00:27:31Someone found our address online.
00:27:33Someone poured gasoline at our front door and lit it.
00:27:36My parents were inside.
00:27:38Cole lived next door.
00:27:40He stood on the balcony watching the fire.
00:27:43Only after my parents stopped screaming, did he call 911.
00:27:47I found all of this out after I was already dead.
00:27:51I also found out the truth about Ivy.
00:27:54Every single piece of it was planned by her.
00:28:00Cole's voice reached me before I was fully awake.
00:28:05Is Mara actually coming?
00:28:07She's gonna kill the whole vibe.
00:28:09She rewrote two of my papers last month.
00:28:11She's useful.
00:28:12So what is she?
00:28:13Your tutor or your errand girl?
00:28:17Neither.
00:28:18She's just...
00:28:19She's always around.
00:28:21She likes being useful.
00:28:22It's basically her whole personality.
00:28:28That's all I ever was to him.
00:28:30Same 15 people.
00:28:32Same cheer.
00:28:33Same room.
00:28:33I'm back.
00:28:35Last time I lost everything.
00:28:37My parents.
00:28:38My home.
00:28:39This time I won't make the same mistake again.
00:28:42Mara, you're coming too, right?
00:28:44I did invite you.
00:28:45Have fun, Ivy.
00:28:47You're not going to lecture us?
00:28:49Nope.
00:28:49Last time you ran home and called everyone's parents.
00:28:51Not this time.
00:28:52He grabbed my wrist.
00:28:53Hard.
00:28:54His other hand went into my bag and pulled out driver's license.
00:29:00No photo ID.
00:29:02No entry at the testing center.
00:29:06You know the rules?
00:29:08Stay quiet tonight.
00:29:09Don't ruin Ivy's birthday.
00:29:10And you get this back tomorrow morning.
00:29:12Simple.
00:29:13Cole is the QB.
00:29:14Nobody moves when Cole does something.
00:29:22Don't make this a thing, Mara.
00:29:24It's one night.
00:29:26Cole, that is the only thing I need to get into the testing center tomorrow.
00:29:30Give it back.
00:29:31Come with us and you'll have it back in the morning.
00:29:33Stop being difficult.
00:29:47Cole walked me to the old gym at the end of the hallway.
00:29:51No cameras back there.
00:29:58Relax.
00:29:58It's just one night.
00:29:59I'll come back for you after.
00:30:00Cole, I have a test tomorrow.
00:30:03Tonight is about Ivy.
00:30:04Not you.
00:30:05It was never about you.
00:30:07Something hard hit the floor outside the door.
00:30:09He stomped on my phone.
00:30:11Cole!
00:30:14His footsteps faded.

00:35:00Really?
00:35:02Can I ask her out then?
00:35:04I think she's kind of great.
00:35:06Why would you go for her?
00:35:09Prove it.
00:35:11It's just background.
00:35:13Background.
00:35:26Cole burned my test ID.
00:35:28He knew how much that exams meant to me.
00:35:32It just didn't matter to him.
00:35:37I opened my laptop.
00:35:39McGill portal.
00:35:40Early action.

00:35:52I stayed.
00:35:55I lost everything.
00:36:07Alcohol poisoning.
00:36:09A group of students.
00:36:10I have to go in.
00:36:16Stay at the hospital all day.
00:36:18If anyone asks you were there all night,
00:36:19do not come to the school.
00:36:21Do not let your name get into whatever story starts today.
00:36:25What story?
00:36:26The kind where they need someone to blame.
00:36:29Stay out of it.
00:36:30Promise me.
00:36:37I promise.
00:36:39He left.
00:36:40I sat in the quiet kitchen.

00:36:48Birds outside.
00:36:50Everything still here.
00:36:52They are not taking this from me again.
00:37:02Where is everyone?
00:37:04Testing starts in 30 minutes.
00:37:0812 students with alcohol poisoning last night.
00:37:10Police said someone spiked the punch bowl with Everclear.
00:37:13Three are in the ICU.
00:37:20Most of my top students are in the hospital right now.
00:37:28Mara.
00:37:29Good.
00:37:30You're here.
00:37:31Where's your ID?
00:37:32Cole Whitfield took my driver's license from my bag last night.
00:37:34He walked me to the back of the old gym and locked me in so I couldn't stop them from
00:37:38going to the party.
00:37:40I have it on video.
00:37:43My phone buzzed.
00:37:45Ivy had just gone live.
00:37:46We just wanted to celebrate.
00:37:48Mara told us the party was safe.
00:37:50She said she had been there before.
00:37:52She wanted us to go.
00:37:54She had a problem with Cole.
00:37:56She knew her dad worked at that hospital.
00:37:58I think she wanted something to go wrong.
00:38:01My son is in the ICU.
00:38:03You did this?
00:38:04No.
00:38:04I have the video.
00:38:06Everything from last night is on record.
00:38:08Cole just confirmed it on camera.
00:38:11You told them to go.
00:38:12I looked at the live stream.
00:38:14Cole's mouth was moving.
00:38:15He still would not look at the camera.
00:38:17The QB who throws touchdowns in front of 2,000 people every Friday night could not look
00:38:22at a camera right now.
00:38:23Everything from last night is uploaded and time-stammed.
00:38:27Before any of you agreed on your story, you want to keep going?
00:38:30Go ahead.
00:38:30Ivy saw my phone on the stream.
00:38:32Her face changed.
00:38:33Just for a second.
00:38:35Cole finally looked at the camera.
00:38:36He was not angry.
00:38:37He was not confident.
00:38:39He was scared.
00:38:40There's one more thing I need to say.
00:38:41This is really hard for me.
00:38:43Mara's father is the attending physician at Mercy General right now.
00:38:46He is treating our classmates.
00:38:48I am not saying he did anything wrong on purpose.
00:38:50I am just saying, if that was my child in that hospital, I would want to know.
00:38:57I know exactly how tonight ends.
00:38:59I've already died in it once.
00:39:01Cole Whitfield.
00:39:02Starting QB.
00:39:03Yale football recruit.
00:39:04My childhood friend.
00:39:05I've always liked him.
00:39:06Ivy's birthday.
00:39:08Warehouse on Delancey.
00:39:09No one's checking.
00:39:10Midnight.
00:39:11Everyone's going!
00:39:15Cole.
00:39:16The SAT is tomorrow morning.
00:39:18That place serves real alcohol.
00:39:20My dad works the ER.
00:39:22He's treated kids from this school this year.
00:39:25More than once.
00:39:28Are you seriously doing this right now?
00:39:32Mara.
00:39:33It's my birthday.
00:39:36I've invited you.
00:39:38Can you just not?
00:39:44She's just mad Cole is doing something nice for Ivy.
00:39:47That night I called every single person.
00:39:50I was at the testing center at 7.30am.
00:39:52I made sure they all showed up.
00:39:54They aced the SAT.
00:39:55Then the results came in.
00:39:57And with them, the news.
00:39:59Ivy went to the warehouse alone.
00:40:02Someone dumped Everlight into the punch bowl.
00:40:05Ivy had three cups.
00:40:08Someone assaulted her.
00:40:10Cole decided it was my fault.
00:40:12Everyone agreed.
00:40:13If you hadn't stopped us,
00:40:14someone would have been there to protect her!
00:40:16They pushed me down the third floor stairwells.
00:40:19I died on the spot.
00:40:21Cole watched.
00:40:21When the police asked,
00:40:22the whole class said the same thing.
00:40:24I threatened them.
00:40:25And when they stopped me,
00:40:26I tried to run and fell.
00:40:27Every call I made that night
00:40:28became evidence against me.
00:40:30Someone found our address online.
00:40:32Someone poured gasoline at our front door
00:40:34and lit it.
00:40:35My parents were inside.
00:40:37Cole lived next door.
00:40:39He stood on the balcony watching the fire.
00:40:42Only after my parents stopped sleeping,
00:40:44did he call 911.
00:40:46I found all of this out
00:40:48after I was already dead.
00:40:50I also found out the truth about Ivy.
00:40:53Every single piece of it was planned by her.
00:40:59Cole's voice reached me
00:41:00before I was fully awake.
00:41:04Is Mara actually coming?
00:41:06She's gonna kill the whole vibe.
00:41:08She rewrote two of my papers last month.
00:41:10She's useful.
00:41:11So what is she?
00:41:12Your tutor or your errand girl?
00:41:15Neither.
00:41:17She's just...
00:41:18She's always around.
00:41:19She likes being useful.
00:41:21It's basically her whole personality.
00:41:27That's all I ever was to him.
00:41:29Same 15 people.
00:41:31Same cheer.
00:41:32Same room.
00:41:33I'm back.
00:41:34Last time I lost everything.
00:41:36My parents.
00:41:37My home.
00:41:38This time I won't make the same mistake again.
00:41:41Mara, you're coming too, right?
00:41:43I did invite you.
00:41:44Have fun, Ivy.
00:41:46You're not going to lecture us?
00:41:48Nope.
00:41:48Last time you ran home and called everyone's parents.
00:41:51Not this time.
00:41:51He grabbed my wrist hard.
00:41:53His other hand went into my bag
00:41:55and pulled out driver's license.
00:41:59No photo ID.
00:42:01No entry at the testing center.
00:42:05You know the rules?
00:42:07Stay quiet tonight.
00:42:08Don't ruin Ivy's birthday.
00:42:09And you get this back tomorrow morning.
00:42:11Simple.
00:42:12Cole is the QB.
00:42:13Nobody moves when Cole does something.
00:42:21Don't make this a thing, Mara.
00:42:23It's one night.
00:42:25Cole, that is the only thing I need to get into the testing center tomorrow.
00:42:29Give it back.
00:42:29Come with us and you'll have it back in the morning.
00:42:32Stop being difficult.
00:42:46Cole walked me to the old gym at the end of the hallway.
00:42:50No cameras back there.
00:42:57Relax.
00:42:57It's just one night.
00:42:58I'll come back for you after.
00:42:59Cole, I have a test tomorrow.
00:43:02Tonight is about Ivy.
00:43:03Not you.
00:43:04It was never about you.
00:43:06Something hard hit the floor outside the door.
00:43:08He stomped on my phone.
00:43:10Cole!
00:43:13His footsteps faded.
00:43:16Nothing left.
00:43:17Just the dark and the sound of my own breathing.
00:43:20I have a backup phone in my jacket pocket.
00:43:22I could call 911 right now.
00:43:24Officers would be here in five minutes.
00:43:26Cole's Yale recruitment would be gone tonight.
00:43:29But that's not what I want.
00:43:31I want Ivy's plan to run.
00:43:33I need her to believe she won.
00:43:35The only way this ends for good is everyone can see how deep the hole goes.
00:43:39I opened the screen recorder.
00:43:41I opened the screen recorder, hit record, started talking.
00:43:44My name is Mara Scott.
00:43:46Today is Friday, October 14th.
00:43:49Cole Whitfield, starting QB at Harlington Academy and Yale football recruit,
00:43:56just locked me in the old gymtasium.
00:43:59He took my driver's license so I cannot enter the SAT testing center tomorrow.
00:44:04Last time I had nothing.
00:44:05Just my word against 15 people who had already agreed on their story.
00:44:09This time, everything is on record before a single lie gets told.
00:44:14Forty minutes later, my dad found me.
00:44:17Who did this?
00:44:21Dad, do not go to the school.
00:44:22Do not call anyone.
00:44:23Mara!
00:44:24Do not talk to any other parents about tonight, no matter what you hear tomorrow.
00:44:27Promise me first.
00:44:30He looked at my hands.
00:44:32He looked at my face.
00:44:34He made the promise.
00:44:35We walked to the car.
00:44:37He did not ask anything else until the doors were closed.
00:44:44Tell me.
00:44:46I want to submit my McGill application tonight.
00:44:49Test optional early action.
00:44:52I don't need an SAT score.
00:44:54I want to leave.
00:44:55You've been putting that application off for three months.
00:44:58You said you wanted to stay because...
00:44:59I was wrong about what I was staying for.
00:45:06He did not push.
00:45:08He started the car.
00:45:14The last time I sat in a car in the dark waiting for something to be over was last fall.
00:45:20Three seasons of opponent breakdowns for Cole.
00:45:23One notebook a week.
00:45:24He never once asked who wrote them.
00:45:29I saw the car before he did.
00:45:32It came in from the far entrance.
00:45:33Too fast.
00:45:34No headlights.
00:45:35It was aimed at him.
00:45:37No time to think.
00:45:38I moved.
00:45:41The car didn't stop.
00:45:42It just drove away.
00:45:44I got up.
00:45:45My ankle was on fire.
00:45:47Cole was on the ground and not moving.
00:45:49And I called 911.
00:45:50And I stayed with him until I could hear the sirens.
00:45:58I wrote.
00:45:59Good luck.
00:46:00I put it back.
00:46:01I stepped away before the paramedics reached him.
00:46:19I found out later that Cole woke up and the first face he saw was hers.
00:46:25I found out later what she let him believe.
00:46:30I wrapped my ankle myself.
00:46:31The cut was deep enough to scar.
00:46:33But the next day was Cole's game and I didn't want him to know.
00:46:38Cole didn't know I wasn't there until after the game.
00:46:40He won.
00:46:41He texted me one line.
00:46:43You missed it.
00:46:52You missed the game.
00:46:55I know.
00:46:56How's your head?
00:46:57Fine.
00:46:58Fine.
00:46:58Why weren't you there?
00:46:59Something came up.
00:47:00You knew how important this game was.
00:47:02He didn't notice my leg was hurt.
00:47:04That was the last home game of the season.
00:47:08He won.
00:47:09He got his Yale letter three months later.
00:47:13The notebook from that week is still in his bag.
00:47:15He carries it to every game.
00:47:17He has never once opened it in front of me.
00:47:20He does not know that the handwriting on the last page is mine.
00:47:24He thinks Ivy saved him.
00:47:27I never corrected it.
00:47:29I knew he wouldn't believe me.
00:47:35I opened the group chat on my backup phone.
00:47:37Party photos.
00:47:39Everyone packed into the warehouse.
00:47:41A big punch bowl in the center.
00:47:43The crowd was still cheering.
00:47:45Two people in the back were already on the floor.
00:47:47Someone posted another video from the party.
00:47:52Hey, where's your little girlfriend, Mara?
00:47:55She's not my girlfriend.
00:47:59Really?
00:48:01Can I ask her out then?
00:48:03I think she's kind of great.
00:48:05Why would you go for her?
00:48:08Prove it.
00:48:10She's background.
00:48:25Coal burned my test ID.
00:48:27He knew how much that exam's meant to me.
00:48:31It just didn't matter to him.
00:48:36I opened my laptop.
00:48:38McGill portal.
00:48:39Early action.
00:48:41Test optional box.
00:48:43Uploaded everything.
00:48:45Hit submit.
00:48:46Last time I gave this up for Cole.
00:48:49I believed him.
00:48:51I stayed.
00:48:54I lost everything.
00:49:06Alcohol poisoning.
00:49:08A group of students.
00:49:09I have to go in.
00:49:15Stay at the hospital all day.
00:49:17If anyone asks you were there all night, do not come to the school.
00:49:20Do not let your name get into whatever story starts today.
00:49:24What story?
00:49:25The kind where they need someone to blame.
00:49:28Stay out of it.
00:49:29Promise me.
00:49:36I promise.
00:49:38He left.
00:49:39I sat in the quiet kitchen.
00:49:42Mom was humming in the other room.
00:49:44The coffee maker was running.
00:49:47Birds outside.
00:49:49Everything still here.
00:49:51They are not taking this from me again.
00:50:01Where is everyone?
00:50:03Testing starts in 30 minutes.
00:50:0712 students with alcohol poisoning last night.
00:50:09Police said someone spiked the punch bowl with Everclear.
00:50:12Three are in the ICU.
00:50:19Most of my top students are in the hospital right now.
00:50:27Mara.
00:50:28Good.
00:50:29You're here.
00:50:29Where's your ID?
00:50:31Cole Whitfield took my driver's license from my bag last night.
00:50:33He walked me to the back of the old gym and locked me in so I couldn't stop them from
00:50:36going to the party.

00:50:51She wanted us to go.
00:50:53She had a problem with Cole.
00:50:55She knew her dad worked at that hospital.
00:50:57I think she wanted something to go wrong.
00:51:00My son is in the ICU.
00:51:02You did this?
00:51:03No.
00:51:03I have the video.
00:51:05Everything from last night is on record.
00:51:07Cole just confirmed it on camera.

00:51:34Cole finally looked at the camera.

00:52:03My childhood friend.
00:52:04I've always liked him.
00:52:05Ivy's birthday.
00:52:07Warehouse on Delancey.
00:52:08No one's checking.
00:52:09Midnight.
00:52:09Everyone's going!
00:52:14Cole, the SAT is tomorrow morning.

00:54:40Mara, you're coming too, right?
00:54:42I did invite you.
00:54:43Have fun, Ivy.
00:54:45You're not going to lecture us?
00:54:47Nope.
00:54:47Last time you ran home and called everyone's parents.
00:54:49Not this time.
00:54:50He grabbed my wrist.
00:54:51Hard.
00:54:52His other hand went into my bag and pulled out driver's license.
00:54:58No photo ID.
00:55:00No entry at the testing center.
00:55:04You know the rules?
00:55:06Stay quiet tonight.
00:55:07Don't ruin Ivy's birthday.
00:55:08And you get this back tomorrow morning.
00:55:10Simple.
00:55:11Cole is the QB.
00:55:12Nobody moves when Cole does something.
00:55:20Don't make this a thing, Mara.
00:55:22It's one night.
00:55:24Cole, that is the only thing I need to get into the testing center tomorrow.
00:55:28Give it back.
00:55:29Come with us and you'll have it back in the morning.
00:55:30Stop being difficult.
00:55:45Cole walked me to the old gym at the end of the hallway.
00:55:49No cameras back there.
00:55:56Relax.
00:55:56It's just one night.
00:55:57I'll come back for you after.
00:55:58Cole, I have a test tomorrow.
00:56:01Tonight is about Ivy.
00:56:02Not you.
00:56:03It was never about you.
00:56:05Something hard hit the floor outside the door.
00:56:07He stomped on my phone.
00:56:09Cole!
00:56:12His footsteps faded.
00:56:15Nothing left.
00:56:16Just the dark and the sound of my own breathing.
00:56:19I have a backup phone in my jacket pocket.
00:56:21I could call 911 right now.
00:56:23Officers would be here in five minutes.
00:56:25Cole's Yale recruitment would be gone tonight.
00:56:28But that's not what I want.
00:56:30I want Ivy's plan to run.
00:56:32I need her to believe she won.
00:56:34The only way this ends for good is everyone can see how deep the hole goes.
00:56:39I open the screen recorder.
00:56:41Hit record.
00:56:41Started talking.
00:56:43My name is Mara Scott.
00:56:45Today is Friday, October 14th.
00:56:49Cole Whitfield, starting QB at Harlington Academy and Yale football recruit,
00:56:55just locked me in the old gymtasium.
00:56:57He took my driver's license so I cannot enter the SAT testing center tomorrow.
00:57:03Last time I had nothing.
00:57:04Just my word against 15 people who had already agreed on their story.
00:57:08This time, everything is on record before a single lie gets told.
00:57:13Forty minutes later, my dad found me.
00:57:16Who did this?
00:57:20Dad, do not go to the school.
00:57:21Do not call anyone.
00:57:22Mara!
00:57:23Do not talk to any other parents about tonight, no matter what you hear tomorrow.
00:57:26Promise me first.
00:57:29He looked at my hands.
00:57:31He looked at my face.
00:57:33He made the promise.
00:57:34We walked to the car.
00:57:36He did not ask anything else until the doors were closed.
00:57:43Tell me.
00:57:45I want to submit my McGill application tonight.
00:57:48Test optional early action.
00:57:51I don't need an SAT score.
00:57:53I want to leave.
00:57:54You've been putting that application off for three months.
00:57:56You said you wanted to stay because...
00:57:58I was wrong about what I was staying for.
00:58:05He did not push.
00:58:07He started the car.
00:58:13The last time I sat in a car in the dark waiting for something to be over was last fall.
00:58:19Three seasons of opponent breakdowns for Cole.
00:58:22One notebook a week.
00:58:23He never once asked who wrote them.
00:58:28I saw the car before he did.
00:58:31It came in from the far entrance.
00:58:32Too fast.
00:58:33No headlights.
00:58:34It was aimed at him.
00:58:36No time to think.
00:58:37I moved.
00:58:40The car didn't stop.
00:58:41It just drove away.
00:58:43I got up.
00:58:44My ankle was on fire.
00:58:46Cole was on the ground and not moving.
00:58:48And I called 911.
00:58:49911, and I stayed with him until I could hear the sirens.
00:58:57I wrote.
00:58:58Good luck.
00:58:59I put it back.
00:59:00I stepped away before the paramedics reached him.
00:59:18I found out later that Cole woke up, and the first face he saw was hers.
00:59:24I found out later what she let him believe.
00:59:29I wrapped my ankle myself.
00:59:30The cut was deep enough to scar.
00:59:32But the next day was Cole's game, and I didn't want him to know.
00:59:37Cole didn't know I wasn't there until after the game.
00:59:39He won.
00:59:40He texted me one line.
00:59:42You missed it.
00:59:51You missed the game.
00:59:54I know.
00:59:55How's your head?
00:59:56Fine.
00:59:56Why weren't you there?
00:59:58Something came up.
00:59:59You knew how important this game was.
01:00:01He didn't notice my leg was hurt.
01:00:03That was the last home game of the season.
01:00:07He won.
01:00:08He got his Yale letter three months later.
01:00:11The notebook from that week is still in his bag.
01:00:14He carries it to every game.
01:00:16He has never once opened it in front of me.
01:00:19He does not know that the handwriting on the last page is mine.
01:00:23He thinks Ivy saved him.
01:00:26I never corrected it.
01:00:28I knew he wouldn't believe me.
01:00:34I opened the group chat on my backup phone.
01:00:36Party photos.
01:00:38Everyone packed into the warehouse.
01:00:40A big punch bowl in the center.
01:00:42The crowd was still cheering.
01:00:44Two people in the back were already on the floor.
01:00:46Someone posted another video from the party.
01:00:51Hey, where's your little girlfriend, Mara?
01:00:54She's not my girlfriend.
01:00:58Really?
01:01:00Can I ask her out then?
01:01:02I think she's kind of great.
01:01:04Why would you go for her?
01:01:07Prove it.
01:01:09She's background.
01:01:24Coal burned my test ID.
01:01:26He knew how much that exam is meant to me.
01:01:30It just didn't matter to him.
01:01:34I opened my laptop.
01:01:37McGill portal.
01:01:38Early action.
01:01:40Test optional box.
01:01:42Uploaded everything.
01:01:44Hit submit.
01:01:45Last time I gave this up for Cole.
01:01:48I believed him.
01:01:50I stayed.
01:01:53I lost everything.
01:02:05Alcohol poisoning.
01:02:07A group of students.
01:02:08I have to go in.
01:02:14Stay at the hospital all day.
01:02:16If anyone asks you were there all night,
01:02:17do not come to the school.
01:02:19Do not let your name get into whatever story starts today.
01:02:23What story?
01:02:24The kind where they need someone to blame.
01:02:27Stay out of it.
01:02:28Promise me.
01:02:35I promise.
01:02:37He left.
01:02:38I sat in the quiet kitchen.
01:02:41Mom was humming in the other room.
01:02:43The coffee maker was running.
01:02:46Birds outside.
01:02:48Everything still here.
01:02:50They are not taking this from me again.
01:03:00Where is everyone?
01:03:02Testing starts in 30 minutes.
01:03:06Twelve students with alcohol poisoning last night.
01:03:08Police said someone spiked the punch bowl with Everclear.
01:03:11Three are in the ICU.
01:03:17Most of my top students are in the hospital right now.
01:03:26Mara.
01:03:27Good.
01:03:28You're here.
01:03:28Where's your ID?
01:03:29Cole Whitfield took my driver's license from my bag last night.
01:03:32He walked me to the back of the old gym and locked me in so I couldn't stop them from
01:03:35going to the party.
01:03:38I have it on video.
01:03:41My phone buzzed.
01:03:42Ivy had just gone live.
01:03:44We just wanted to celebrate.
01:03:46Mara told us the party was safe.
01:03:48She said she had been there before.
01:03:50She wanted us to go.
01:03:52She had a problem with Cole.
01:03:54She knew her dad worked at that hospital.
01:03:56I think she wanted something to go wrong.
01:03:59My son is in the ICU.
01:04:01You did this?
01:04:02No.
01:04:02I have the video.
01:04:04Everything from last night is on record.
01:04:06Cole just confirmed it on camera.
01:04:09You told them to go.
01:04:10I looked at the live stream.
01:04:12Cole's mouth was moving.
01:04:13He still would not look at the camera.
01:04:15The QB who throws touchdowns in front of 2,000 people every Friday night could not look
01:04:20at a camera right now.
01:04:21Everything from last night is uploaded and time-stammed.
01:04:25Before any of you agreed on your story.
01:04:27You want to keep going?
01:04:28Go ahead.
01:04:28Ivy saw my phone on the stream.
01:04:30Her face changed.
01:04:31Just for a second.
01:04:33Cole finally looked at the camera.
01:04:34He was not angry.
01:04:35He was not confident.
01:04:37He was scared.
01:04:37There's one more thing I need to say.
01:04:39This is really hard for me.
01:04:41Mara's father is the attending physician at Mercy General right now.
01:04:44He is treating our classmates.
01:04:46I am not saying he did anything wrong on purpose.
01:04:48I am just saying, if that was my child in that hospital, I would want to know.
