"People used to describe Green Grove as a great place to grow up." "But that was before Danny Desai was sent away for murder..." "Dude!" "I had to." "I didn't have a choice." "And messed up his two best friends in the process." "Please, don't hate me." "Five years later, he came back..." "Desai's return to Green Grove High has been met with controversy." "Boo." "To a place that didn't want him." "I wouldn't let that socio anywhere near my school." "Socio." "Socio." ""Socio"... it's, uh, it's kinda catchy, actually." "Paging Dr. Lecter, your spawn is loose on aisle 4." "I'd let him loose on my  aisle." "But when trouble followed him home..." "Aah!" "We will use every resource at our disposal, but we have no suspects at this time." "Danny's history left him open to suspicion." "We'd like you to come with us, Danny." "We need to ask you a few questions." "My gut's telling me he didn't do anything." "Someone has to give him the benefit of the doubt." "Ooh!" "Lifelong friendships were tested..." "If you want our help, you have to stop hiding things from us." "And present-day mysteries..." "We have to figure out who sent this." "Revealed secrets from the past." "Oh, my God." "What if his reason for killing his aunt is somehow connected to what's happening right now?" "And now what everybody wants to know is..." "You're wondering if I'm mimicking human emotion," " aren't you?" " No." "Who is Danny Desai?" " Why do you trust him?" " A sinner..." "Are you sure you wanna help me?" "Or a Saint?" "I think I'm in love with him." " A victim..." " Get the hell out of here!" "Or  everything we all thought he was?" "Oh, my God!" "That was tense." "I feel like I just lived through a Hitchcock movie." "Twisted Season 1 Special Socio Studies 101 Everything I've learned about Danny started on that super intense day at school." "Hey, Jo!" "That's me there." "Hey, you ready for today?" "It's gonna be a tough one." "Yeah." "Well aware, Rico." "Trust me." "Yeah, I prepped all night." "My mom had to make me, like, three espresso shots." "Okay, what are we talking about?" "Our precalculus quiz." "What are you talking about?" "Danny Desai." "The murderer." "Jump rope." "Dead aunt." "Town scandal." "Uh, yeah, I'm not..." "I'm not familiar." "And that brings us to Lesson 1..." ""Know your socio."" "It all began five years ago with three friends..." "He's been acting so strange lately." "And a red jump rope..." "That wasn't used for jumping." "Lacey." "Dude!" "What was that?" "Danny, are you okay?" "I didn't have a choice." "Please, don't hate me." "Five years later, Danny was coming back home." "He was released yesterday from the juvenile detention facility that has held him for the past five years since he strangled his aunt." "Everyone was on edge, especially his old friends." "I'll feel less tense once I see that lunatic freak and tell him I hate his guts." "That moment I first saw her just lying there is etched in my brain." "I don't like thinking about that day." "Maybe it's time you reach out to her again." "This is something only the two of you have in common." "Lacey and I have nothing in common." "They  really didn't." "After the Danny de-psycho incident, they took way different paths." "Jo became this awesome, funny, super amazing, smart girl, my study buddy and best friend, and Lacey just got popular and, you know, partied with other popular kids and dated a popular jock and did all sorts of other popular-y things." "But the return of Danny Desai forced the ex-B." "F.F.s back together..." "Hey." "Like it or not." "How you holding up?" "Uh, okay." "Me and my friends are having a party tonight."

" That's not what I meant." "Look, it's not like I lie around, wishing I can hang with you and your lame, superficial friends anyway." "So  that went well." " There's Danny." "" " Where?" "And then, just like that, there he was." "Boo." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I was..." "I was just joking." "How are you guys?" "Mr. Desai?" "Come with me, please."

"Danny Desai, you've been in my classroom ten minutes and you already appear to be the most interesting thing about it." "None of us have seen a real psycho before, so..." "So much for normal." "Mr. Desai, I hear from my sources that your nickname on the Twitter is "The Socio."" "Is it?" "Mrs. Fisk, how can you tell if someone's a sociopath?" "I mean, you can't..." "You can't read someone's mind." "Although sociopaths lack a real human emotion, they are damn clever at mimicking them." "Can we chat?" "Fine, Danny, let's chat." "What should we... what should we chat about first?" "I know." "How about my lost childhood?" "Jo, please." "It's me." "I'm still the same boy you grew up with, not some psycho." "Look, I know you were never a big Aunt Tara fan..." "So what, did she do something to you?" "If you had an actual reason, why didn't you tell it to the police?" "Because I couldn't."

"Thanks." "You saved me an hour of tedious drunk walking." "Don't mention it." "Seriously, to anyone ever." "Got it." "So... since all this apparently never happened, do you wanna come in, hang out?" "Poor Jo." "Okay, what'd she say?" "I ditched her, abandoned her?" "No, of course not." "Why?" "That's not what happened?" "Do you think it was easy being the best friends of a child murderer?"

"Please stop spreading unfounded accusations against your peers." "Sorry to interrupt, principal." "Danny Desai?" "Uh, we'd like you to come with us, Danny." "We need to ask you a few questions." "Dad." "In front of the whole school?" "Sorry, honey." "Oh, did I mention Jo's dad is Chief of Police?" "I know that we're all scared." "Which made this a little awkward." "It's easy to focus all of that on the obvious person." "But is that really fair?" "I don't know if Danny did this or not, but do you?" "Do any of us?" "I know you agree with me." "I saw your face while I was talking." "That wasn't my agreement face." "That was my "What the hell is she thinking?" Face." "Someone has to give him the benefit of the doubt." "And that someone has to be you?" "No." "Us." "Who else is gonna do it?" "Definitely not Jo's dad." "I swear I-I got the text," "I turned off my phone, and went to bed." "And you didn't want to talk to her, just to find out what the hell she meant?" "I knew what she meant." "She wanted to get me into bed." "Danny, the people in this town don't care about the truth." "All they care about is your head on a stick." "Tell me what really happened." "Nothing." "Nothing happened." "I didn't leave my room after 12:30." "That necklace look familiar?" "Told you it would be important." "Nope." "Not at all." "Why?" "Housekeeper claims that Regina never took it off, yet it was the only thing that was missing in the entire house." "Lesson 5..." ""Figure it out yourself."" "I myself like a good mystery." "The text was the only reason he brought you in, right?" "Yeah, that's it." "So I was pretty pumped to drop some knowledge." "Well, then it's a weak case." "They have nothing unless they can connect Danny to the crime scene." "We need to figure out who else had a reason to hurt Regina." "Jo." "Dad." " Danny and I were just..." " Get in the car." "Okay, calm down." "Car now." "Chief Masterson." "Hello, sir." "Stay away from my daughter." "I know he's an easy target." "Don't ruin his life now just because you're still holding a grudge." "There is actual evidence." "One text from a drunk girl, claiming to know about something that happened five years ago?" "This necklace look familiar?" "I've never seen it before." "This okay?" "Your dad doesn't have, like, psycho cams everywhere, does he?" "I have a plan." "Does it involve brainwashing?" "Uh, sort of actually... my mom." "Okay, so I say we do, like, a fun, low-key dinner, just us and our moms." "If we just show my mom how normal you are, she can convince my dad to tone it down." "He listens to her." "Oh, don't worry, Jo." "Killer boy toy here will get conjugal visits once he's back in prison." "Oh, Lacey's boyfriend Archie?" "Not a big Danny fan." "Maybe we can be roomies." " What'd you say?" " Danny." "You heard me." "Why would I end up there?" "Either you're going to prison, or you're pumping gas for the rest of your life." "Uhh!" "You don't know me." "You don't know me either." "Lesson 6..." ""Don't forget your manners."" "So remember Jo's crazy dinner party idea?" "Well, it began with a surprise guest." "Dinner smells great." "I brought Pinot." "Oh, I-I don't mean me." "I was invited." "Wow, this place hasn't changed at all." "Yeah, my mother isn't big on change." "Oh, I get it." "Change is hard." "I agree, dad, but if you spend too much time obsessing over the past or something that happened in the past, you can lose focus on the present situation." "Chief Masterson's party crashing kind of turned Danny's own home against him." "Refill on the wine, sir?" "Sure." "Uh, I need to use the restroom." "I'll be right back." "I'll get him his wine." "The chief's bathroom trip took a little detour." "Probably got lost." "It's a big house." "Get lost finding the bathroom?" "Sorry." "I, uh... passed your room and, uh, saw this photo." "I think took this one." "When we finally sat down to eat, things were going well." "Danny, have you even seen the new McNally Park?" "Uh, I didn't even know there was a new McNally Park." "We should check it out." "I don't think that's a good idea." "And why is that?" "I'm not sure it would be safe." "You mean it wouldn't be safe with my son there." "You think my son's a psychopathic murderer." "I mean, maybe it was a teeny bit uncomfortable." "Karen, everyone's trying to deal with a very difficult situation." "Yeah, well, a situation you blame on me." "I don't blame you for anything." "Then why did you call me a bad mother?" "That was five years ago." "And what you were asking of us was completely unreasonable." "Wait." "What are you guys talking about?" "My late husband and I wanted your parents to let you be a character witness at Danny's sentencing." "We were just trying to protect our daughter." "Her testimony might've made a difference!" "It would've made no  difference!" "I lost my son for five years!" "And he's lucky he got five years!" "Okay, it was pretty much a disaster." "At least the food was good." "That dinner party was fun, nuh?" "Ugh." "Just like the good old days." "Did you see that photo?" "When we got there, I noticed a shelf of family photos, and there was one with Tara Desai in it." " Really?" " Yeah." "The weirdest part was, when we left, I passed the shelf again, and the photo with Tara was gone." "Maybe Karen or Danny moved it." "Maybe they saw it and were embarrassed it was sitting out like that." "Yeah, or maybe Danny was keeping some major secrets." "Wow!" "Danny had the necklace all along!" "I mean, who asks a girl for a ride when they already have a car if they don't actually like her?" "Hello, mixed signals!" "How are you?" "Thanks to my new lab partner's gift for oversharing," "I found out that on the night Regina died..." "Jana hooked up with Archie's best friend Scott, who had loaned Archie his car when..." "Wait." "What are... you know what?" "D..." "I'm sorry." "All you need to know is, Archie's alibi sucked." "I'm going out, blow off some steam." "Big game tomorrow." "I thought you liked to stay in the night before a big game." "Isn't that why you didn't go to Regina's party?" "That was... that was a..." "away game." "This is a home game." "Different rules." "Lesson 7..." ""Don't trust the popular jock."" "Wait." "I thought you said Archie was home the night of Regina's party." "Yeah, that's what he said." "Resting up for the big game the next day." "If he was home resting, why did he need to borrow Scott's car all night?" "All right, listen up!" "We got a new player..." "Danny Desai." "When Danny joined the soccer team..." "We're gonna give him a shot." "I think he can really help us." "Yeah, if he doesn't kill us first." "It gave him a chance to watch Archie up close." "Hey, freak!" "Let's warm up." "We're, uh, we're back to "freak," huh?" "I kinda missed it." "Hey, girls." "Look who's here." "Then Jo crashed Lacey's sleepover to see what she could learn from Regina's friends." "What is this?" "Regina's mom gave it to me." "It's just some of Regina's personal stuff, mostly from school." "What Jo found in Regina's stuff made it seem like Archie and Regina might've had a little... you know, something going on." "And when Lacey found out, she was not cool with it." "You're telling me that my boyfriend was sleeping with my best friend, and that led to him murdering her?" "I don't know exactly what happened." "I'm just l..." "Save it." "Danny called out Archie..." "Your alibi the night of the party?" "It sucks." "I was home." "The truth was revealed..." "Is that right, Scott?" "Just tell him, Archie." "You're not gonna leave anyway." "But not exactly the one we expected." "Yeah, okay." "Uh..." "I borrowed Scott's car." "I had a meeting with the coach at Mercy Prep." "What, were you gonna..." "you gonna ditch us in the middle of the season?" "It was just a meeting." "Nothing came of it." "I hope you're happy." "Lesson 8..." ""Expect some grudges."" "I can't believe I let you talk me into this." "Karen Desai's attempts to fit in went about as well as Danny's." "Gloria." "I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for your loss." "I didn't know Regina, but I heard she was a really lovely girl." "And she'd still be here if it weren't for your deranged monster of a son." "I've already talked to the school board about having him kicked out of Green Grove High." "And then I'll make it my personal mission to ensure that he spends the rest of his natural life exactly where he belongs... in prison." "Gloria Crane wasn't the only one gunning for Danny." "Karen Desai," "I have a warrant to search the premises, in connection with the murder of Regina Crane." "There's an item missing from the crime scene." "Chief Masterson didn't find anything, but Danny finally let Jo and me in on a secret." "I know what he was looking for." "When Regina died, she was, uh, she was wearing my Aunt Tara's necklace." "Why didn't you tell us that?" "I know this doesn't look good." "Okay, but he didn't find anything, obviously." "I can't help you if you don't tell me what you know." "I guess we have to figure out how Regina got that necklace, and who has it now." "Mrs. Crane, do you know where Regina got that necklace?" "She started wearing it six or seven months ago." "She told me it was a gift." "She never said who gave it to her?" "Well, Lacey, if you don't mind," "I have a lot of work to do." "I'm finally getting to all these condolence letters." "Do you want some help?" "Lacey, that would be wonderful." "Thank you." "Lesson 9..." ""Build your socio network."" "Fall Fest is a cherished tradition." "It's a family event." "The last thing we need is a killer coming and freaking everyone out." "Wow." "Tell us how you really feel," "Tim Calvert, local resident." "Come on, buy warm pi pies." "They pun and they taste great." "Buy a fresh pi pie!" "When Jo brought Danny to Fall Fest to help with the Mathlete Pi Pie Booth..." "Can you carry these pies over to the table?" "Yeah." "I wasn't thrilled." "I thought you wanted my help." "Yeah, your  help." "Okay." "Sir, would you like to buy a pi pie?" "Not from you." "Neither was Tim calvert." "Where do you get off, being here, acting like everything's okay?" "Leave him alone." "Just back the hell off." "He has as much of a right to be here as you." "It's cool." "I can just leave." "How can you defend him?" "He's a freakin' murderer!" "You're a right-wing nut!" "Sir..." "Tim!" "Tim!" "Keep your hands off him, Tim, okay?" "I cannot believe you promised to do all this." "Guilty is a powerful motivator." "So you asked about some stupid necklace." "So what?" "Helping out Mrs. Crane turned up an interesting tidbit about Regina's past." "_" "♪ I can't live the Fall Fest Formal was a clinic in heart crushing." "One slow dance." "On the plus side, I did learn that Jo looks freaking incredible in a dress." "But it also taught me..." "Uh... ahem." "You know what?" "Let's just move on." "Anyway, Lacey let Danny in on the letter to Regina." "It's postmarked two days before she died." "We have to take this to the police." "I owe it to her to find out what this means first." "We have to figure out who sent this." "But before they got to that..." "Why do you wanna meet like this?" "Unless you wanna get me alone." "They got to this." "Speaking of unexpected," "Karen Desai uncovered evidence that Danny had been... surprise!" "Less than honest." "And that's when Danny's mom taught me a little something of her own..." "How to dispose of evidence." "That's right." "I saw her with my own eyes." "Mother?" "Getting rid of the necklace did not go over well with Danny." "Where is it?" "I got rid of it." "I needed that necklace." "Why did you have it?" "It was in my locker, okay?" "The day after Regina died, someone just left it there for me." "Whoever killed her must have known that that necklace belonged to Aunt Tara." "They knew that it would make me look guilty." "Well, the necklace is gone now." "There are a couple of things nagging me, too." "He's just a friend." "Yeah, a friend you wanna mate with." ""Mate"?" "Well, you look like someone who has a crush." "I'm just helping him prove he didn't kill Regina." "Jo, let's say someone finds something or sees something that doesn't clear his name." "Or unclears it worse." "If you're asking me how I'd react if Danny did it," "I mean, I'd be devastated." "But trust me, someone else killed Regina." "Lesson 10..." ""Never go to Connecticut."" "Well, Regina never talked about anyone who would send something like this." "Nobody was sure what to do with the mysterious letter." "I still think we should just tell my dad about it." "I don't wanna tell anyone until we know exactly what's going on." "Danny's life is at stake here." "Okay, you were the one who insisted on meeting here, and you brought all of this to us." "I brought it to Danny." "Okay, don't turn on each other." "The plan was to go to the address on the letter, but the road trip started off a little bit..." " Hey." " Bumpy." "Thanks for waiting." "You decided to come?" "It was tense all the way to Connecticut." "When they finally got there..." "This came to us from apartment 413." "Who lives there?" "Their plan didn't go as..." " 413?" " You know..." " Really?" " Planned." "I don't know what kind of game you kids have planned, but go on." "And the whole Jo and Lacey thing finally blew up." "This trip was such a stupid idea." "Yeah, well, you didn't have to come." "Not wanting to invite me along?" "What a Lacey Porter original." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Amber Klein's 13th birthday party." "When the entire class is invited, and you aren't, it's kind of suspicious." "So I confronted Amber, and she said" "Lacey Porter asked her not  to invite me." "You made everyone around you miserable, okay?" "Excuse me for being traumatized." "There you go again." "Jo Masterson..." "always the victim." "Lacey Porter..." "always popular, perfect, fun." "You couldn't let anyone  get in the way of that, could you?" "T even the one person who is supposed to be your  best friend." "But Danny refused to leave empty-handed, so he he did a little B  E..." "That's, uh, breaking and entering, F.Y.I...." "Only to find an empty apartment..." "And the security guard." "What the hell are you doing up here?" "The girls put their issues aside long enough to finally uncover..." "Jo, come on." "He might come back." "I found a building directory." "Who lived in the apartment." "You're not gonna believe it." "Oh, my God." "Danny's dead dad." "I can't believe" "I almost went back to juvie tonight." "For what?" "For nothing." "We didn't figure out one freakin' thing." " The girls agreed..." " I know." "Totally sucks." "Danny didn't need to know about his dad and the apartment." "Yet." "I, on the other hand," "I'm not so good at keeping secrets." "I saw something." "It was Danny's mom." "I saw her throw something into the water." "And I think it might've been a necklace." "Jo needed to find out more about Vikram Desai..." "What do you remember about Danny's dad?" "Vik was... complex, but fun." "Very outgoing." "What about before he died?" "Was he different?" "He and I didn't talk much the last few years of his life." "My friends were useless about Regina." "Your mom tell you anything about Vikram?" ""Charismatic" was about all that I could get out of her, so..." "It seems likely he gave Regina that necklace though, right?" "What were they doing together?" "You really need me to answer that one, Lace?" "Okay, but if it was just some gross fling, then who sent the cash and note?" "Vikram's accident was..." "Maybe what happened to Vikram wasn't an accident." "What if Regina knew what happened to him?" "Whoever sent that cash could've been..." "Paying her to keep quiet about it." "Maybe all these things are somehow connected." "You guys told me Regina sent him that text, right, saying that she knew why he killed Tara?" "Yeah." "So you're saying..." "What if his reason for killing his aunt is somehow connected to what's happening right now?" "What was for sure happening was the chief was following up on my lead." "Where are we on McNally Park?" "Still closed for renovation." " We've combed that pond two, three t..." " Comb it again." "That necklace is in there." "While the chief was tracking the necklace, kids partied at the cemetery..." "A birthday bash for Tyler Lewis." "What?" "!" "A party for moi?" "!" "Now Tyler's just another pretty boy..." "One who, unfortunately, has a thing for Jo." "You're an enigma, Jo Masterson." "An enigma I plan to crack." "Good luck with that." "The girls cornered Danny and demanded answers." "We think you've been keeping too many secrets from us." "There are all these things we don't know." "I can't tell you about Tara." "Yes, you can." "You can trust us." "It's not about trust, Lacey." "Regina knew your dad." "But they gave up more than they got." "What are you talking about?" "That apartment?" "Your dad was renting it before he died." "We think that maybe he and Regina had something going on," " that maybe..." " Maybe his death wasn't an accident." "Whatever happened to him could be connected to Regina's murder." "Now who's keeping secrets?" "Lesson 11..." ""Socios get the girls"" "I know you were with them." "Lacey was forced to make a choice." "It's obvious you're hanging out with them again." "Sarita, no, I'm not." "I'm not gonna tell anyone, but you can't have it both ways." "Us or them." "I broke up with him." "No one can know, okay?" ""No one" also included Jo." "It's just... it's Danny." "I like him, mom." "Jo, that's... it's natural that you might start to develop a little crush." "It's not a crush." "I think that I'm in love with him." "And I think I hate him." "Here's a lesson you've heard before..." ""Actions have consequences."" "Eddie." "Sorry to bug you at home." "Everything okay?" "We found it." "And in my case, big consequences." "Morning." "Have you ever thought about how Regina Crane got ahold of that necklace?" "Danny hoped his mom would give up his dad's secret." "Could it have been dad?" "No." "Did dad know her..." "Regina?" "Did they ever meet?" "What are you suggesting?" "Could he have been seeing someone else..." "Danny, stop it, please." "Okay?" "What you're implying is disgusting." "She wouldn't play along." "Let's not focus on the past, okay?" "But others had no problem dredging up the past." "Aah!" "And the pranksters were just getting started." "Lesson 12..." ""Masks are creepy."" "About what happened today, if you ever wanna talk to me about it..." "It's fine." "And right now, I'm here with you." "Hello?" "Funny." "I get it." "Hilarious." "You're supposed to be me." "Get the hell out of here!" "Go!" "Danny, buddy." "Tyler had a proposal for Danny." "Is there any chance that you'd let me interview you for my documentary?" "A documentary about what?" "How everyone's dealing with you coming back." "The fear, the emotion." "Get your side of the story, you know." "Thanks, but I'd kinda rather not draw any more attention to myself." "Suit yourself." "He also had an offer for Jo." "How about we grab dinner then?" "You and me." "I'm buying." "You two hooking up or something?" "No." "No, she's like, uh, she's like my sister." "Ouch." "I tried to console her with some pretty solid advice." "Hey, there's another guy out there for you." "I know it." "But, of course, it pushed her straight to Tyler." "So you remember yesterday, right?" "We talked about dinner." "We did?" "Uh..." "Jo, I'm k..." "I'm kidding." "How could I ever forget?" "I assume you changed your mind?" "I don't trust that guy, with his, like, glowing skin and his, like, smiling." "He's just one of those cheesy guys that girls always go for." "Hey, Rico." "You have plans tonight?" "Plans?" "No." "Why?" "You're invited." "To the party I'm throwing." "A party at Danny's..." "Probably not the greatest idea." "I just don't think throwing a party is gonna solve anything." "But it's a start." "It's better than what I've been doing." "Blending in?" "Hoping that things are gonna get better?" "I think we can both agree that's... that's not working." "What do you think's gonna happen, Danny?" "One party and suddenly everyone's gonna, what, forget about your past?" "Chief Masterson tried to get Karen to talk." "I have an actual witness." "This witness saw you walk out onto the dock and throw something into the pond." "We searched the pond near the dock and found this." "The item missing from the crime scene." "Lesson 13..." ""Tyler Lewis is lame."" "Jo and Tyler showed up at Danny's after what I guess was a successful date." "Jo Marie Masterson, are you smitten with this guy?" "I guess we'll see." "Seeing that made me really... um, thirsty." "When Tyler interviewed Danny..." "Yeah, it's been a struggle coming back." "Sure." "It's, uh, definitely a..." "an adjustment." "More was revealed about the interviewer than his subject." "A-and how..." "How are you dealing with all these vicious pranks lately?" ""Pranks" as in plural?" "Uh, no." "Sorry, man." "I-I meant "prank."" "Sketchy." "That was great, man." "Let's just go for a little bit." "Everyone's going." "Why would I want to go to a party at Danny Desai's house?" "My brother said the party is going to be epic." "Apparently, something huge is gonna happen." "Said we'd all be talking about it tomorrow, and that it would be a night the Socio would never forget." "Oh!" "Aah!" "That's supposed to be the woman that Danny..." "That's it!" "Out!" "You guys, get out!" "Now!" "Turns out Tyler..." "That was nuts." "Was exactly what I thought he was." "You organized this, didn't you?" " No, Jo." "Jo, of course I didn't." " Don't lie to me." "I saw you filming it." "You were smiling." "And the jump ropes." "That was you, too, wasn't it?" "Look..." "When people see my movie, it's gonna make people sympathize with him." "Isn't that what you want?" "I want you to leave." "I think we have a lot of potential." "We did." "Too bad you blew it." "Lesson 14..." ""Never hook up in front of a window."" "How you doin' there, wino?" "Gross." "Alcohol's evil." "Right." "I'm gonna take this drunk guy home." "I'll stay, help you clean up." "After I stumbled out with Jo..." "Lacey and Danny enjoyed some alone time." "But they weren't actually alone." "Things got weird and super creepy." "Chief Masterson finally got Karen Desai to talk." "It's late, Karen." "I know." "This couldn't wait till morning." "Okay." "But it wasn't what he expected to hear." "I killed Regina Crane." "Danny's mom had confessed to killing Regina." "But nobody believed her." "All right, Danny." "We're holding your mom for 48 hours." "Then what?" "And then we have to decide if we're gonna formally charge her or not." "So you think she was lying?" "Anything you can tell me about your mother and Regina Crane, Danny?" "Anything at all?" "Oh, there was plenty to tell." "Lesson 15..." ""Always tell the truth" "Look, you told me to tell you everything that I know." "Well, this is everything." "So this was postmarked..." "Two days before Regina died." "Yeah." "I don't believe Karen would do all this." "Send Regina threatening letters?" "Doesn't make sense." "We're not saying that my mother did any of this." "But someone did." "Someone other than Danny." "I can't believe you guys kept all this from me." "After an appeal from Danny..." "Chief Masterson's case, it's not..." "All about me anymore." "Please." "Don't go." "I need my mom." "Mrs. Desai retracted her confession." "Chief Masterson finally considered that somebody other than Danny killed Regina Crane." "I'm gonna figure out who killed Regina, no matter who it is." "Jo's stuck by you through a lot." "So has Lacey." "Give them both a chance." "Be honest with them." "Danny took the chief's words to heart." "How did your mom get the necklace?" "From me." "I did not take that necklace from Regina." "I swear." "The day after she died, I just found it." "It was in my locker." "Your locker?" "!" "Lacey, I'm telling you the truth." "How are we supposed to believe that?" "You lied to us over and over again, Danny!" "We're done." "Lacey." "Jo, just listen to me." "Okay?" "Can you just listen to me, please?" "Can you listen to me?" "!" "Danny's issues were just getting started." "Remember when the masked creepy guy was recording Danny and Lacey's hook up?" "That video?" "That showed up in my in box." "This mathlete Doug filmed you and Danny after the party at Danny's house through a window..." " like, being... intimate physically." " Yeah, okay." "I get it." "I shamed him, but clearly it... it didn't take." "You should try confronting him because he's extremely intimidated by women." "And then there was the whole soccer poison thing." "Food poisoning?" "Intense  food poisoning." "Now Cole's parents are keeping me updated." "It looks like he's gonna be okay." "Well, Desai, weren't you working out with him this morning?" "I only ask because, uh, I'm curious how he seemed." "You think someone did this to him on purpose?" "I found this in the weight room trash." "Apparently, a small dose of this crap can mimic food poisoning." "You were the only one in there with Cole this morning." "I'm gonna need you to turn in your Jersey." "Danny's future at Green Grove didn't look good, thanks to Regina Crane's mom and the school board." "I didn't poison Cole." "Please, you gotta believe me." "Coach Chandler and coach Larson tell a very different story." "You can't just expel Danny." "I mean, there must be some sort of recourse here." "We could have a hearing." "Fine." "We'll have the hearing quickly tomorrow afternoon." "Does that work for you, Mrs. Desai?" "I guess it has to." "Chief Mastersons' investigation turned up some new leads." "The apartment was in Vikram Desai's name, but the rent was being paid out of a local business account for a company called Marna Inc." "Two days before Regina Crane was murdered," "$2,000 was withdrawn from that account." "The exact amount that was sent to Regina." "Well, well." "Look at that." "But when he asked the mayor of Green Grove for a little help, he didn't get any." "The prime suspect is out there poisoning other students." "What are you gonna do about him?" "I'm just trying to solve this case." "Well, you're not doing a very good job." "Danny's fate ultimately came down to the testimony of supporters versus haters." "To be honest, I didn't really have anything against the guy." "You had a physical confrontation with Mr. Desai." "Tell us about that." "It was pretty scary." "The look in his eyes when he punched me was intense." "I still think about it sometimes." "Okay." "Thank you, Mr. yates." "Even after all the lies," "Jo felt someone had to speak up for Danny." "We've been through a lot since he got back." "It hasn't all been easy." "What do you mean it hasn't all been easy?" "To believe in him." "To trust him." "But in the end, I can't turn away from him." "He's just the most amazing person." "I mean, how could he be this bad person if I'm falling..." "Thank you so much, Jo." "You may sit down now." "Jo was publicly embarrassed, but Lacey tried to keep her embarrassment private." "Let me explain exactly what's gonna happen here." "You're gonna delete that video from your phone, and then you're gonna make a list of everyone that you sent it to, and you're gonna delete it from their phones." "And if you don't, it'll be my mission to make the rest of your high school hurt badly." "Got it?" "Yeah." "Hey!" "Chief Masterson." "And the chief's case took another turn." "This is Marilyn Rossi." "Marilyn, I want you to meet Chief of Police Kyle Masterson." " Great to meet you, chief." " Miss Rossi." "She's a top-notch investigator currently working for a well-respected private firm." "Well, you don't have the authority... actually, I do." "I spoke to Albany, and they wanna see this case solved, along with everyone else." "Start at the beginning." "Walk me through the night of the crime and show me everything you have on Danny Desai." "So now things are worse for Danny than ever before." "Final lesson..." ""Eventually, stuff gets real."" "Put it right there." "Park it." "Uh..." "Here's what knowing Danny has taught me." "All right!" "When you make more enemies than friends..." "Danny, I'm..." "I'm so sorry." "Things don't turn out well." "The school board has decided to uphold the expulsion." "And secrets are tough to keep, um... secret." "And when you lie to friends over and over again, people get hurt." "Jo?" "What's wrong?" "Especially the ones you care about." "There's still a lot I haven't learned about Danny, like what's the deal with his dad?" "Did Danny actually kill Regina?" "This unthinkable crime will not go unpunished." "How does it all connect to his past?" "So if you ask me now, "Who is Danny Desai?"" "Honestly, I'm still not sure." "Maybe that's covered in the next lesson."
