Is anyone up?
Hey, something bad's going on in the garden!
Hello?
Help!
Someone help!
Woman in video: You can travel between worlds.
You can communicate with human ghosts.
- How'd it go? - Doesn't matter.
Still haven't heard back
From the swedish scholarship thing?
Swiss boarding school. And no, I haven't.
The whole thing was such a long shot anyway.
- Stop moping. - I'm not moping.
You're practically dripping with mope.
Let's go shopping.
You seem to forget what happened
The last time we went shopping.
It was cheap plastic!
It's still stealing.
It was the most beautiful bracelet I had ever seen.
I know you don't like the accolades,
But have I thanked you enough for that day?
You can thank me
By behaving yourself at the mall today, klepto.
So, consider this.
The french revolution helped transform
Traditional gender roles.
Can anyone share how
It positively impacted gender equality and women's rights?
Frankie.
Gave them an ideal platform
To demand access to education, property rights, divorce rights,
The right to actively participate in politics.
Also challenged the notion
That women should be confined to the private sphere
And laid the foundation for future feminist movements.
That's right.
- Teacher's pet. - Picture the streets of paris
Buzzing with revolutionary fervor, the cries of justice
Echoing through the air.
The class of ideology, yearning in the hearts of men
And women, wanting a better life.
So, the french revolution witnessed the birth
Of ground-breaking ideas that would reverberate...
My girl!
I knew it!
"on behalf of the limoux boarding school in switzerland,
"we are delighted to inform you
"that your application in the "helping hands" program
"has been successful!
"congratulations!
"we are pleased to extend our warmest welcome to you
"as a member of our esteemed educational community!"
- Everything okay, frankie? - I'm sorry.
- Hey. - Hey.
Where'd that smile go?
Limoux is one of the most prestigious boarding schools
In all of europe.
Great women go there - heads of state, ceos...
- And? - And I'm me.
Yeah, you - the most badass history expert
And the most intelligent girl I know.
I just feel like I don't belong in a place like that.
Everyone there is going to be... Better.
Stop.
Hey.
We're survivors, remember?
Life can't possibly give us anything we can't handle
Because we've already handled it all,
And we've had each other's back the whole time.
It's true. We walked through fire.
Yeah. I guess we are pretty fireproof.
Damn right we are.
I'm gonna miss you.
It's gonna be hard to miss me
When I'm video chatting with you every night.
It won't be night for you.
Morning, night, I'll make the time, and so will you.
Mm-hmm.
Is this...?
Mm-hmm.
I want you to have it.
You're sending me to a foreign country with stolen jewelry.
It's cheap plastic, remember?
I went back to the store to buy it.
You went back?
It's a memento.
Trina...
And...
Now that you're officially emancipated,
You're free.
You can finally breathe and spread your wings.
I'm jelly.
Hey... You belong at that school
Just as much as those little rich girls.
Right?
Right.
Can you carry this?
Ahh!
I belong here.
okay, let's go.
Miss ainsworth: Miss frankie logan...
Hey.
I'm miss ainsworth. I'm the headmistress at limoux.
Oh. Pleasure to meet you.
I trust you had a pleasant flight.
Frankie: Yeah, very pleasant.
And it was my first time traveling anywhere,
So it was all very exciting.
Oh. How nice for you.
Well, follow me.
Obviously, the first order of business
Is to get you in your uniform.
Frankie: Okay.
Nice chair.
It belonged to the swiss king alexander I.
It was purchased at auction
By the parents of one of our students
And donated to the school.
Wow.
There is a detailed limoux rules and regulations manual
In your room.
I suggest you commit it to memory.
Frankie: Yeah, of course.
This place is so impressive.
It is.
First and foremost, you must remember that,
From this day forward, you are and always will be
A reflection of the grand tradition
Of this hallowed institution.
You are a reflection of those who came before you.
Is that clear?
Crystal.
"yes, miss ainsworth" will do.
Yes, miss ainsworth.
And this will be your room.
Do you have any other belongings arriving separately?
You mean like a recently auctioned van gogh or monet?
No, this is it.
Ah.
"ah."
"I suggest you commit it to memory."
Stupid.
Come in.
Girl: Frankie?
- Yeah. - I'm jacqueline,
Your neighbor.
They left these at my door instead of yours by mistake.
Uh, was it also a mistake to give me two of these?
Oh, the second outfit is worn
When the other one's being cleaned.
Of course.
So, you got a scholarship here, right?
Has word gotten out that I'm a charity case?
If it's any consolation,
They treat everyone who's not cool like crap.
Like me, for instance.
I've been here for two years,
And yet, to the other girls, I still remain like... Crap.
Hmm.
So, want to be friends?
Sure.
Of course we can be friends.
Was that awkward of me to ask?
No, it was, uh... Sweet.
It's okay.
People think I'm awkward,
Especially amidst all this sophistication.
I don't think you're awkward.
I think you're just refreshingly direct.
Is that a good thing?
Where I come from, no one says what they mean,
So, yeah, it's a good thing.
Where are you from?
Lyon, France.
Right. That's where you get your strong french accent from.
I moved around a lot,
Not always voluntarily.
But that's the price you pay for having two parents who think
Their job is far more important than anything else in the world.
How about you?
Where are you from?
Uh... New york.
Is that where your family lives?
Guess you could say that.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
Don't be, it's fine.
We did just become friends after all.
Frankie: Right.
Well, perhaps I can fill you in on lyon,
London, and glasgow, and you can tell me all about new york.
Deal.
Would you like to come to lunch with me?
Yes, I'm starving.
You'll want to change into your uniform, of course,
Otherwise, miss ainsworth will whip you.
Seriously?
No. That was a joke.
I'm not funny.
No, you're funny, jacqueline.
Yeah, just, um...
Give me a sec to change.
Oh, yeah.
Not there.
Girl: Not ever.
Is that...?
You're not very social?
No, I'm social.
It's just those girls,
They always slide their dessert towards me,
Even though I'm diabetic.
They think it's funny.
That's messed up.
Really messed up.
So, who are these fancy young ladies?
That one over there is annabel volkov.
Her father is vladimir volkov; he's a russian banking magnate.
And that's maria lewis.
Her parents own lewis tech solutions, which is worth,
Like, billions.
And that...
Is tinsley wellington.
Blegh.
There's always a tinsley.
Is that a popular name in new york?
No, not the name; the girl.
There's always a queen bee.
Jacqueline: Not a queen.
But her family are minor british royals.
Her mother is all over the society pages.
Tinsley is a brand ambassador for a new perfume line.
Thought she smelled funny.
You've met her?
Our paths have crossed.
Oh.
And it looks like they're about to again.
Don't let them intimidate you.
Okay. How do I do that?
I don't know. Just, uh...
Imagine they're naked.
No, that makes them more intimidating.
Jacqueline... I see that you got
A "helping hand" in the friendship department.
You... Know my name?
I'm frankie.
I know.
My family actually is responsible for your being here.
They generously funded your scholarship -
One of our pet projects. So...
I guess that makes you my pet. Can you do any tricks?
That's funny. You sound classy.
But making fun of someone who doesn't have your privilege?
That's not very classy.
So, you're going to give me a lesson on class?
Someone should.
Well, this introduction isn't going very well.
Yeah.
Listen, darling,
You might want to cultivate some respect for your superiors.
Superiors?
That's right.
There's this funny thing about respect.
It's earned by people who deserve it,
Not people who demand it.
I'm a giver and a leader. You're a taker.
Do you know what takers do?
They get on their knees and wait for my instruction.
You don't belong here.
Jacqueline: This is where I meditate.
It's more impressive during the day, when the birds are here.
You meditate?
Mm-hmm. It helps me focus
And forget about life and how much it sucks.
Sounds like you're not in touch with your inner universe enough.
You know, life doesn't suck.
Not always, anyway.
You know, it's not good to dwell.
I'm a dweller, all right.
You probably think more than you meditate.
You can think about a problem for a moment or two,
But after that, it's not very useful.
It just becomes more worrying than thinking.
You sound like my therapist.
They made me see one at the foster home.
Jacqueline: Oh.
Do you want to hang out here for a bit?
I don't really feel like
Dwelling back in my room all night.
According to that manual, we aren't even supposed
To be out here unless we're supervised.
Um, do you want to know a big secret?
Like, you can't tell anyone.
I never actually read the manual.
Frankie: Who is that?
Come on.
- There's a basement door! - Okay!
It shouldn't be locked either. Are you sure?
I'm pretty freakin' sure, jacqueline!
Evening, ladies.
What?
You didn't get the joke?
No, I think I missed it.
A little cosplay?
I was pretending to be a thief, you know.
Like you?
Do you want to tell your one and only weirdo friend or should I?
I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Tinsley: Isn't that what they all say?
No honor among thieves, right?
What happened?
Your new friend frankie has a record.
It took a lot of digging, but yes,
We have a convicted criminal among us.
I'm not a criminal.
You committed a crime, so you are therefore a criminal.
Makes one wonder how someone like you
Could fall through the cracks and get accepted here.
And what about your father?
What is he in for again?
Dui, burglary, fraud, and embezzlement.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
And plot twist, ladies:
The school knows nothing about any of this.
But don't worry.
Your many secrets are safe with us.
Girls, not a word of this to anyone, right?
Right?
Yes.
I own you...
Helping hands.
Frankie: Hey.
Hey, I was just thinking about you.
I should never have come here.
I knew I didn't belong.
What's going on?
Jacqueline: Hi.
Frankie? Hello?
I'll call you later.
Jacqueline: What are you doing?
Just talking to my friend.
Jacqueline: Are you okay?
You don't look okay.
I thought coming here would be a fresh start,
A new beginning.
I guess your past follows you everywhere you go.
It's awful that tinsley told everyone
About your prison record.
I didn't go to prison.
It was a stupid mistake,
One by my friend and one by me.
Tell me, please. I'm all ears.
Trina saw this bracelet at the mall.
She wanted it, so she just took it.
She stole it?
Cashier saw her leaving with it, and security came,
We took off, just ran through some back hallways.
Almost made it out of the mall when a...
Security guard grabbed her real hard.
And we were just in this isolated area,
It was just us and him.
Did he... Hurt her?
Might have, if I hadn't stepped in.
What did you do?
I punched him.
Hard?
- Pretty hard. - Good.
Cops came, I tried to explain why I did it,
But I'm a misguided foster kid,
Who was just an accomplice to stealing,
So who would you believe?
You were trying to protect your friend.
Yeah.
It's nice.
It's plastic.
I almost got in a lot of trouble over cheap plastic.
What about your father? Is he really in jail?
Sort of.
He's, like, in and out of psychiatric hospitals.
I barely know the man. I haven't seen him in 12 years.
We have absolutely nothing in common.
Well, that's a good thing, right?
Yeah, I like to think so.
Miss ainsworth: Girls, stay on the stairs.
Do not come down.
Yes, please, as quickly as you can.
There's been a terrible accident.
Frankie: Who found her?
I think maria did.
Did they think she was...?
I mean what did they think happened to her?
I'm sure it was an accident, right?
I overheard the detective.
She could have fallen or...
Been... Pushed.
Hey, who's that?
Jacqueline: That's mr. Limoux.
He's the dean and owner of the school.
It's been in his family for generations.
He lives off campus with his wife and children.
Miss ainsworth: Everyone,
I realize how... Traumatic this has been.
And as such,
We will begin mandatory counseling
With the school psychologist later this morning.
Detective kraus will also--
Krause.
Detective krause
Will be questioning everyone, as well as collecting dna
And conducting a thorough investigation.
We will be reaching out to your parents as soon as possible.
Rest assured,
Limoux is, has always been,
And always will be...
A safe and secure institution.
Miss ainsworth: Now I'd like you all to return to your rooms.
Class will resume as normal this afternoon.
Now, please.
Jacqueline: You okay?
Frankie: I feel terrible, but...
What?
You know they're going to think I did this.
No way.
Maybe there's a perception
That you and tinsley didn't hit it off.
And I'm the new, poor kid with a juvenile record.
There's girls here who've wished tinsley dead
For as long as I can remember.
I'm actually one of them.
It was frankie.
Did you actually witness any of this?
Did tinsley wellington ever tell you
That she felt threatened by frankie logan?
Given the fact that she admitted to being a known criminal,
And that tinsley was the one who called her out, I mean,
You don't need to be a detective
To know she's the one who did it.
It's obvious, isn't it?
Krause: Yes, I will have an update for you in 24 hours.
My team is examining the phones
And the electronic equipment
Of some of the students as we speak.
I will... Get to the bottom of this.
Miss logan?
Frankie: I was charged as an accessory
To shoplifting at a retail store.
Shoplifting, not murder.
And you punched a security guard in the face.
Tell me about the altercation with miss wellington.
She was wearing a ski mask.
She was just trying to scare me.
So, she humiliated you in front of everyone.
Yeah, she did.
And you think that would be a reason to kill her?
Oh, I don't know. You tell me.
I did not kill tinsley.
Krause: And you have an alibi?
Nobody here has an alibi.
We all have separate rooms, and it was the middle of the night.
Besides, I thought you said it was an accident.
Well, that could very well be.
But people, especially young people,
Rarely just happen to fall down stairs to their death.
So, I'm a suspect?
Everyone is a suspect, miss logan.
Reporter: Tinsley wellington, british royal socialite
Was found dead at the bottom of the stairs at limoux,
A prestigious boarding school in the swiss alps.
There's no official word
On the circumstances of her untimely passing,
But we will keep you updated
As more information becomes available.
The school's administration has extended
Its full cooperation,
Emphasizing their commitment to transparency
And the safety of their students.
Turn that off.
I know this is your first class
Since the passing of miss wellington.
And while I know that
You're all going to be receiving counseling,
I wanted to let you know that I am here for you,
In case you want to talk.
But for now, let's take a moment of silence
In honor of miss wellington before we begin today's lessons.
Let's close our eyes.
It'll be okay.
Counselor: Frankie.
There's nothing I can do.
I'm trapped in a place where everyone hates me.
They don't just hate me; they think I murdered someone.
So, yeah, like I said, I feel trapped.
Tell me about your father.
He's incarcerated.
He's in a nut house;
Pleaded insanity and got away with it... Twice.
Counselor: He was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
I'd love to talk about anything else.
Tinsley.
- Frankie: What about her? - What did you think of her?
Are you trying to play detective, dr. Garcia?
You were with her just a few hours before she died.
Along with five other girls.
If what you're really asking is if I was resentful of her...
...Then the answer is yeah.
I resented her because she had everything
And made me feel completely unwelcome
In the one place that felt like...
It could be my first lucky break.
That being said,
Despite all the cards being stacked against me,
I like to still think that at least I have a chance
At some sort of future,
Even though it might not seem like that right now.
You're keeping a positive attitude.
That's good.
It's the one thing I have on these girls is I'm a survivor.
So, yeah,
I'll keep a positive attitude and yeah, I'll survive this,
Like I've survived everything else in my life.
Can I be honest with you, frankie?
Frankie: Sure.
I don't believe you had anything to do
With miss wellington's death,
And I do believe you will make it through this.
So, you just write down that I'm innocent?
I've given my assessment as to whether or not I believe
You have the psychological profile
Of someone who could commit murder.
A forensic psychologist
Masquerading as a grief counselor.
Sneaky.
More the other way around.
They say the killer always returns
To the scene of the crime.
We all return to the scene of this crime.
We all take the stairs.
Everyone knows you did it.
Well, I guess I'm surrounded by clueless idiots.
Leader of the club right in front of me.
You're going to pay for this, one way or another.
What's that supposed to mean?
you know exactly what it means.
I just don't see how this situation could get any worse.
Trina: Well, who do you think did it?
The thing about girls like tinsley
Is even their friends can hate them,
Because they feel just as inferior
As the ones they torment.
The only reason they aren't tormented
Is because they go along with it.
Trina: So, you think it could be one of her friends?
I don't know what to think right now.
Wait, I have an idea.
Trina: Why search maria's room?
Maybe maria got tired of just being tinsley's sidekick.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
Everyone's at dinner.
I told them I felt sick to my stomach,
Which is... Actually not a lie.
- What are you hoping to find? - Frankie: I don't know.
Anything.
First day...
I think I found something.
Someone's coming.
Trina: I told you this wasn't a good idea.
I'm in trouble.
Miss ainsworth attention,
Everyone meet in the church immediately.
All students and staff,
Come to the church immediately for a mandatory meeting.
that was close.
Trina yes. Now, get out of there!
Nuh-uh. I'm doing this. It's now or never.
I have a question for you.
I'm not sure I want to know what it is.
What if I left with her tablet?
Do you think your friend could help me hack into it?
The answer is no.
You're gonna get caught, frankie.
It's a stupid idea.
you're right.
We apologize for interrupting your dinner, but...
We have received information
In regards to miss wellington's untimely demise.
We heard from detective krause.
Their preliminary autopsy report shows
That miss wellington had an extremely high
Blood alcohol level.
No. Tinsley didn't drink.
Alcohol is empty calories.
Miss lewis...
Mr. Limoux: Along with an excessive blood alcohol level,
There were tranquilizers, as well.
This evidence points
To miss wellington accidentally falling to her death
Due to extreme intoxication.
I know that, while this information
Doesn't change the fact that miss wellington is gone,
It should offer some comfort.
how's that?
If there is any solace to be had
In this very difficult time,
It is that limoux remains a safe institution.
So, you and your parents can rest assured
That there is not a threat of a murderer in our midst.
Sorry. Still not at ease.
It just doesn't sound like tinsley at all.
Miss ainsworth: Enough!
Any more of these interruptions and there will be consequences.
I realize that you're grieving,
But that's not an excuse for this kind of behavior.
You're all free to go.
You may take the rest of the evening to yourselves.
Dismissed.
Miss brenet,
May I please have a word with miss logan in private?
Of course. See you later.
Sure.
No need to apologize.
Oh, and what on earth would I need to apologize for?
For accusing me of being a murderer?
I never accused you of anything.
But I do have some words of advice.
- What's that? - Be careful.
What is it they say about intimidation again?
Oh yeah, it's a confession of intellectual impotence.
Your hard life has given you a rather cutting quick wit.
Survival mechanism, no doubt.
- Good for you. - Like your life's been easy?
Please, I see it all over you.
I hope you got that insubordination
Out of your system
Because, if you ever disrespect me like that again,
I will expel you all the way back
To the black hole you thought you'd climbed out of.
Have a lovely evening.
Frankie: Everyone hates me.
My pariah vibes have rubbed off on you.
Sorry about that.
Maybe it just means we're socially dead, no?
Wouldn't that be nice?
Try calling your parents, telling them what's going on?
I don't really talk to my parents.
I just get the feeling that tinsley's death
Being ruled an accident has made things far worse, you know?
Like it's ignited some sort of vigilante justice.
Well, what do we have for breakfast today?
- Hmm... - Oatmeal or french toast?
- Oatmeal. - Hmm.
Also oatmeal.
cute!
What's wrong with you?
Maybe I just don't like psychopaths...
Or freaks.
Trust me, you're gonna want to stop this right now.
Or what? You're gonna kill us too?
Leave my friend alone!
Miss ainsworth: Enough.
Enough!
All of you, in my office immediately.
Now!
I would be well within my rights to expel all four of you.
Maria: Annabel and I didn't do anything wrong.
You spit in our food.
Oh, and there's also the death threats.
That wasn't us.
- Yeah right. - Maria: It wasn't.
You're the thief who stole my tablet.
Do you realize where you are?
I love this school.
Miss ainsworth: This is not just a school.
This is a hallowed place
Where those destined to shape the future of this world
Are prepared to meet the challenge of destiny.
And the behavior the four of you have exhibited is despicable.
My parents pay your salary, so technically, you work for me.
Oh, do you mean your very wealthy parents
Who chose to send you to a boarding school
Hundreds of kilometers from home?
The accusations and retaliation
Resulting from tinsley's untimely
And accidental death end now.
If this or anything like it happens again,
I will expel each and every one of you.
Is that clear?
That's all.
Please leave.
Actually, wait.
I have an idea.
Man: I guess this must be my lucky day.
you know...
In all my years, I've never--
What's the drill?
Haven't your parents told you it's rude to interrupt people?
Haven't yours told you it's rude to kill people?
Oh no, they couldn't have. They're already in jail.
Okay then.
Well, uh, those, uh, bulbs have just come in.
Beautiful, aren't they? Huh?
Yeah. Avignon tulips -
One of my favorites.
They grow wild in the northern region.
This is beyond tedious.
Jacqueline: There's far worse punishments
Than having to plant flowers together.
Right. So, let's just make the most of it.
Those towels in front of you are for your knees,
So you don't get dirty.
Oh, how thoughtful.
Groundskeeper: Now, it's a pretty self-explanatory, eh?
You just dig enough for the bulb
And then you leave about, oh, three inches...
For this magic stuff -
Fish and feces.
I am not touching that.
Are we getting gloves?
Well, that's the thing, miss ainsworth was very specific
That, uh, no gloves.
I have a pair in my room that I can use,
Which I will surely dispose of after.
Uh, again, sorry, no gloves.
And I will be staying here
To make sure you use your bare hands.
This is ridiculous.
Ainsworth is playing a game with us.
We can sit and complain about it or we can get it over with.
She's right.
Wait until my parents hear about this.
Groundskeeper: "out of the putrid grows the sublime."
That's from miss ainsworth.
She has a way with words, doesn't she?
Well, this is unexpected.
I get the impression marie and annabel want to bond
Over our newfound hatred of miss ainsworth.
Am I correct?
You're the most literal person I have ever met.
Not bond. Just...
Apologize for spitting in your hood.
Maybe this was miss ainsworth's plan all along.
Doubtful.
I think it was more punitive, less... Kumbaya.
Let's get one thing straight:
You're wrong about tinsley.
Is anyone up?
Hey, something bad's going on in the garden.
Hello?
Oh my god, maria...
Help! Someone help!
Krause: Maria lewis is in a coma, frankie.
This will be much easier for you if you are honest with me.
Like I said, I saw someone
Carrying something near the tulip bulbs
We had just planted.
At 5:30 in the morning?
And then, you saw that person run away?
Through the basement window?
Exactly. Do you want to ask me again?
How would you characterize your relationship with miss lewis?
Not great, but it was getting friendlier.
But you said that she believed
You were responsible for miss wellington's death.
Initially.
"initially."
After centuries without a single incident,
Now limoux has one death
And one attempted murder all in the same week.
What are you implying, detective krause?
Mr. Limoux: You've notified her parents.
Miss ainsworth: Their child is in a coma;
Of course I notified the parents.
They're taking the next flight.
I guess you didn't hear.
Miss ainsworth: Hear what?
The airport is closed. There was a massive fire.
They just announced it on the radio.
They had to evacuate everyone
And reroute all inbound flights.
How terrible.
Several of the parents I contacted are already
Making arrangements to bring their daughters home.
Every parent is going to want to permanently remove
Their daughters from limoux.
Tell me this is a nightmare, miss ainsworth.
What the devil is going on around here?
I hate to say it,
But this fire at the airport, it could be a blessing in disguise.
How so?
The airport will be closed for a few days.
Hopefully, it will give us enough time,
Time to get some answers about...
What's going on around here.
We need to find out who put miss lewis in a coma.
They said blunt force trauma.
I mean, who would do such a thing?
It's all so sordid.
We need to save the reputation of this school.
Well, I pray that maria comes out of this all right.
Who's in there with detective krause?
Miss logan - the american.
In light of what happened with miss lewis,
The investigation into miss wellington's death
Has been reopened as a possible homicide.
It shouldn't have been closed in the first place.
A good detective knows to never assume
Or rush to conclusions.
Even swiss detectives should know that.
It wasn't me,
Detective krause. I didn't do anything wrong.
I have read in your file that you recently were emancipated
And are therefore without support
Outside the comfortable confines of limoux.
That's right.
Would you agree to turn over your phone
And your electronic equipment?
Or did you want to contact a lawyer first?
Like I said, I did nothing wrong,
So I have nothing to hide.
We just want to examine a record of your communications.
They think it's you?
Yeah. They think I did it.
I'm scared.
Believe me, so am I.
You don't look scared.
I learned to hide my emotions pretty well...
...But I'm terrified.
Trina: What's the latest?
Remember how I said
I didn't think things could get any worse?
Trina: You're kidding.
Another girl's been attacked.
She's alive, but she's in a coma.
I'm officially a suspect.
They've taken my phone and my tablet,
So I'll be radio silent until this is all over.
Trina: Don't you need a lawyer or something?
Frankie: You know any?
Trina: Are you gonna be okay?
I don't know.
I'm tired of pretending I fit in here.
I don't. I just don't.
Frankie, listen to me. We're survivors.
Remember? Fireproof.
You're right.
I need to clear my name, but I'm going to need your help.
Name it. Let's make it happen. What's your next move?
There's this woman, miss ainsworth.
She was appointed headmistress in 2007.
But there's something odd about it,
And about the fact that maria
Had a cut out article of it in her agenda.
I'm gonna look into it.
Trina: Be careful.
Annabel: Who's the new man on campus?
I heard detective krause talking about him.
His name's friedrich.
He's been hired to hang around and keep watch.
Jacqueline: Until they catch the killer.
So, why does he keep looking at us?
Frankie: He's not looking at us.
He's looking at me.
Where did he go?
What are you girls doing?
We're going to frankie's room,
So that she can murder us in private.
What would miss ainsworth's motive be?
All these years serving rich children
With little or no appreciation.
Annabel: While not having any children of her own.
Frankie: Not that we know of.
All of these spoiled girls
Getting everything in life she never had.
After so many years of festering resentment,
She's turned into a...
Psychotic popsicle?
Okay.
So, if we really want to search miss ainsworth's room,
We have to come up with a solid plan, right?
We can't just sneak in there while she's away.
Why not?
She's spending most of her time in her office.
Still a risk.
- We need a diversion. - Frankie: You're right.
Two of us could come up with a way to distract her
While one of us goes and searches her room.
Okay, let's do it.
So, jacqueline and I can distract miss ainsworth,
Keep her occupied, while you sneak into her room.
Why am I the one sneaking into her room?
Because her room's going to be locked.
So, because I'm from the wrong side of the tracks,
It comes with the territory to somehow learn to pick a lock?
Do you know how to pick a lock?
I'm waiting for an important email,
But it's just a text from my annoying brother.
Good place to stash your phone.
So, um, what exactly are we going to say
To keep miss ainsworth busy?
Hmm. We'll figure it out.
Where are you ladies going?
None of your business.
Be careful.
Maybe you should be careful; one of us could be the murderer.
Miss ainsworth: I assure you, your daughter's safe.
We have every confidence that this issue
Will be resolved soon.
Yes, of course. We'll be in touch.
Annabel: Um, can we talk?
Miss ainsworth: So, let me get this straight.
You believe the new security guard,
Friedrich, is flirting with you?
Jacqueline: Mm-hmm.
And you'd like to file a complaint
Based on him doing what exactly?
Uh, because he keeps winking at me.
It's-- it's very disturbing.
He-he winked at me, too.
- Mm-hmm. - Miss ainsworth: Uh-huh.
All right. Is that all?
Are you going to let us file a complaint?
Yes.
Can we do it now?
No. I have to prepare the paperwork.
I would like both of you
To return to your respective rooms immediately.
There's something else we need to discuss.
I certainly hope it's urgent, miss volkov.
Annabel: It is.
We think...
Everyone should get straight a's this semester
Because of the traumatic circumstances.
Hmm.
Straight a's?
Yes, absolutely. Yeah.
Okay.
I've had enough. I have a splitting headache
And it's only getting worse by the moment.
So, please go back to your rooms.
What now, miss volkov?
I can't go back out there.
The security man, friedrich, he's freaking me out.
I think I'm going to have a panic attack.
You're going to be fine.
I'd like you to breathe and go back to your room.
Now, now. Let's go.
I still can't believe you let her into the room.
What were we supposed to do? Tie her to her chair?
I don't know. You could have come up with a better lie.
I know, we messed up.
Sorry, but if we pushed it any further,
She would have gotten suspicious.
Miss ainsworth attention, everyone, please,
Immediately head back to your respective rooms.
We will be in contact with everyone of you shortly.
Frankie: Let's go.
What's going on?
You were right.
There was indeed someone in the basement who came in and out
Through the hallway window.
The weapon, a shovel from the school barn,
Was hidden away in the boiler room,
Where miss lewis was attacked.
And you're going door to door to tell everyone in school?
What shoes were you wearing
When you last came in contact with miss lewis?
The shoes I'm wearing right now.
Ah.
You said that you never set foot out the garden that morning.
Now, I need you to think for a second.
Are you certain that you did not make it to the school barn?
I never set foot anywhere near the barn.
Ah. What size shoes do you wear?
Ten.
What does that have to do with anything?
That would be forty-one and a half for us,
I think, eh?
Miss logan, would it be all right
If we had a look around your room?
Sure. I have nothing to hide.
A-ha.
What have we got here? Huh.
Yeah... Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
They're not mine.
Ah. The pattern is a match,
And I think it's the same size, too.
Hmm,
41 and a half, that's rather large for a woman,
Over here in europa, anyway.
I said, they're not mine.
I have no idea how they got in here.
Miss logan, you have the right to remain silent
And, uh, to not participate with the police.
You have the right to legal representation by an attorney,
Private or publicly funded, and you also have the right
To notify next of kin of your detention.
This is not happening.
You know that I'm innocent.
So, why don't you try to do your actual job
And find the real killer?
Please...
Hey, mom?
I know I've never done this before, but...
Here goes nothing.
I'm not even sure if I believe in all this.
But just in case, I thought I'd reach out.
Like I said, I thought I'd...
...Thought I'd reach out 'cause...
I don't know what else to do.
You know, I've always tried to make you proud.
I'm starting to think maybe trina was right.
I don't know why I try so hard.
So, anyway,
If there's anything that you can do to help
From up there or...
...Wherever, I'd really appreciate it.
I miss you.
What's going on?
You are free to go.
- I am? - Krause: You are.
You have been exonerated.
Excuse me?
Miss ainsworth had installed a surveillance camera
Outside your room.
Heh.
When we looked at the footage, we saw you come out,
Head to the garden, and immediately call for help.
You did not have time to get to the barn
Or carry a body across the garden.
You are free.
Can I ask for a favor?
Hey, maria.
It's frankie.
You actually look really good, considering.
Not everyone can rock a coma.
Listen, I, uh, read somewhere
That talking to people in your situation can help, you know,
Help you wake up faster
Because, not to rush your healing process, but I--
We...
Really need you to open those beautiful eyes.
Please, wake up.
Finally! I was going nuts.
You'll never believe what happened.
I was in detention and then I got exonerated.
I'll explain it all later, but one thing is for sure,
I need to put an end to this.
The only thing you need to do is stay out of trouble.
I need to know what they found out.
Trina: What who found out?
Tinsley and maria. I think they were onto someone.
And?
Frankie: And I need to get to the bottom of this.
Trina: I don't know what you have in mind,
But I already know it's a bad idea.
I need you to get your hacker friend on the line.
I need to get into maria's tablet.
trina: Fine, I'll get her on it.
Okay, it's done. You should have full access now.
That's a beautiful photo of your wife and kid.
How old was she back then?
What kind of game do you think you're playing right now?
I've had you followed by a pi, mr. Limoux.
Excuse me?
Well, your conduct was irreproachable.
That being said, my pi is good,
The best money can buy.
I don't know if this is some kind of joke,
But this is enough to get you expelled, miss wellington.
I suggest--
Well, don't you want to know what he found?
He got a hold of your monthly bank statements.
He found some recurring payments made to miss jane ainsworth -
3,000 euros every month since 2007,
Which coincides with the year that she was appointed
As your new headmistress.
What are you trying to say?
You had an affair with miss ainsworth, mr. Limoux,
While you were married.
You paid to have her abandon her child
And keep quiet about your extramarital relationship.
3,000 euros per month - not bad for a teacher
For whom it wasn't easy to make ends meet.
And that's how you got her to just give birth to her child
And dump her up in the foster care system...
...And keep her mouth shut, of course.
Why are you doing this?
My parents.
They're very proud of my brothers -
Straight a students.
One is the captain of his football team,
The other is in oxford, and me, well...
I'm the black sheep.
I need better grades, mr. Limoux, much better grades,
And I was thinking maybe you could help me.
I don't want my grades to be too good,
But you know, good enough -
A couple of a's, a lot of b's, a b plus or two.
It has to be believable.
I wouldn't want anyone to raise an eyebrow,
If you know what I mean.
How is your wife, by the way?
Limoux and ainsworth?
Maria and tinsley were both aware of their affair.
And now, so are we.
We could be next.
We need to get maria's tablet to the detective.
Mr. Limoux: Stop it, jacqueline, please!
Jacqueline: You can't send me away again!
Well, look who's back from jail.
Jacqueline, what are you doing?
You're out, so he's going to send me away.
Stay away.
Everyone just stay away or I'm going to kill her, I swear!
Jacqueline... Please, put the knife down.
No.
Did you know?
Miss ainsworth and mr. Limoux are my birth parents.
I just need a father
And a mother who care about me just a little bit!
I'm not asking for much!
We do care. I care.
Right because that's what caring mothers do, huh?!
They give up their child?!
I was young, and scared,
And terribly stupid,
And I have regretted it ever since.
You cannot even comprehend how much I have regretted it.
Oh, please, just shut up already!
She felt bad for me.
So, a little over two years ago, after finding out
That I wasn't doing too well, she came to london to get me.
I thought you said she found out about us on her own.
Who do you think the money was for? For me?
It was always for her.
You jeopardized everything.
Yes, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.
They gave me a new name,
Manufactured a fake backstory for me.
The only condition was that I kept their secret to myself.
Jacqueline, please, put the knife down.
And let the cops settle this, hmm?
So, I can spend the rest of my life locked away,
Like your father.
He's getting the help he needs.
how do you know?
You're ashamed of him.
You don't even talk to him.
I'm not ashamed of him.
I'm angry at him
Because, every time they let him out,
He let me down, he didn't take care of himself.
He's crazy! Your father is crazy! I am not!
You were supposed to help me, not cause trouble.
You being here is all me, all my doing.
A girl like you, a criminal, would have never had the chance
Of walking through the doors of an institution like this,
Unless someone with "helping hands" was there.
What are you talking about?
I made them choose you.
I pushed your application through,
Right to the top of the pile.
My father asked me
To take care of his tinsley wellington problem,
So he needed someone to pin a murder on.
Who better than a straight-a student
With a criminal past?
Well, I haven't hurt anyone. You have. But it's not too late.
For tinsley, I used one of my diabetic needles...
...Injected her with a nice cocktail of meds and vodka.
So simple, quick.
And I did it all for him.
He told me that, if I handled this,
Then... He would treat me like his daughter at last.
- Miss ainsworth: How could you? - He cried.
I had no choice and I feel terrible,
But he's my father and there's nothing I wanted more
Than to be reunited with him.
I didn't even have to push her.
Well, barely.
Of course, we then found out that she told maria.
So, same thing, hmm?
I injected her too,
Then slammed her head with a shovel.
Unfortunately, not hard enough.
You tried to frame me
By putting those hiking shoes under my bed.
At the end of the day, I knew I could pin it all on you!
I had to wait until you got here.
Tinsley blackmailed my father in may last year.
You waited until the start of the next school year
To make your move.
Right?
I can still help you.
How and why?
Because I know what you're going through,
Because we have a lot in common, you and me.
Both abandoned by our parents?
That can mess someone up real good.
I want you to have this.
You mean it?
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Now, please, jacqueline, put the knife down.
Are you...
Recording this?
You framed me!
Miss ainsworth: No. No!
Careful.
No! No!
okay.
Are-- are you all--
We both deserve whatever comes of this
And I will gladly testify at your murder trial.
You are truly evil to use our daughter like this.
Maria: So... What are your plans
For the summer in the city that never sleeps?
I'll be working at the foster home, giving them a hand,
Probably hang out with my friends.
- Maria: Nice. - What about you?
Actually, I just spoke to the new dean.
He's got a job for me out here.
Probably feels bad about my coma.
I love this whole pity thing.
Apparently, I'll be helping out in the garden.
That whole feces experience was a game-changer for me,
Loved getting my hands dirty.
Don't be a stranger. Text me.
Will do. You, too.
Yo, what's going on? I thought you'd be here already.
I had to come say hello to someone
I should have visited a long time ago.
Trina: You sure?
I'm sure. It's time.
Okay. See you soon.
Frankie: Yeah.
Thanks.
Hi. I'm frankie logan. I'm here to see my father.
