[ line beeping ]

Damn, Nicky.

Nicky?

Hey, it's me! Where are you?

[ thump ]

[ door creaking ]

Nicky!

[ distant scream ]

Come on.

Come on. Open up. It's me.

[ voices whispering ]

Nicky?

[ slam ]

[ creaking ]

- Don't let her open it!

- Put it down.

What are you doing?

Put it down. Put it down.

- She's in there

just waiting for us.

- Nicky, stop. Put it down.

- She'll never

let you take it back.

She'll never leave you alone

until you just break!

This is the only way out,

Kristen.

- It's the only way I can do it.

- Stop. Stop.

Stop! Nicky, stop!

- [ screams ]

- Stop! Stop!

[ overlapping chatter ]

[ dispatch radio chatter ]

- [ sobbing ]

- I just, um--

I don't believe it, you know?

- You shouldn't be here.

You shouldn't be here.

- This doesn't make sense.

Everyone thought

it was because of...

that video or Amber...

and that she

couldn't deal with it.

But there was something else,

something she wouldn't tell me.

- I don't know

what you're talking about.

- You're Kristen Shaw?

- Yes.

- I'm Detective Preston.

Look, I know this is

about the last thing

you wanna talk about right now,

but I have to ask you.

- I already told your partner

everything that I know.

- Did Nicole ever use drugs?

CLINT:
Really?

- Look, I need to know

what she was doing

and who she was doing it with.

We'll talk later,

and I'm sorry

about your friend.

- I know you know

what it is, Kristen,

but she wouldn't tell me.

I know you know what it is,

so tell me, Kristen.

Look me in the eyes,

- and tell me what happ--

- Hey!

Back off, dude.

- Seriously?

- Seriously.

[ Kristen crying ]

- She--She--She...

- Come on.

[ crickets chirping ]

[ sighs ]

Okay, what if

it was someone she knew,

someone just messing with you?

- She's in my mind.

Jake, she--

she was in Nicole's, too.

She drove Amber insane.

- I can't believe

I'm saying this,

but why would she haunt you?

You didn't even know her,

Kristen.

- Amber found

Morgan's profile online,

that it was still up,

and she posted on it,

said some mean sh*t,

and Nicole did, too,

and then I did.

And we're the only three people

that have posted on her page

since she died.

Do you know

anything else about her,

like where she lived or who

her parents were or where--

- The kids who went to her

school said all kinds of sh*t.

I don't know

if any of it was true.

- What about the teachers

at St. Francis?

I mean,

they must know something.

- Look, you gotta stop thinking

about her teachers,

stop thinking about her.

You're in shock.

You need sleep,

- and when you wake up--

- Sho--

I can't f***ing sleep, not now.

- Yeah, they're for anxiety.

That's perfect.
