heard anything about it before.

But I'm trying not to

let that bring me down.

Because I'm on my way

to pick up Jace.

I'm just happy

I get to see Jace, so.

I know, it's been like

almost a month.

I'm just so excited to see you.

Where'd Lori put

the freaking remote?

Hi, Jace!

Hey, Jace!

He-ey!

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm Barbara.

Wanna say bye to meme?

Bye.

Stay buckled,

have a good time...

G-48

Ain't that great.

G-48.

I don't know what's

going on with you

and that other guy, okay.

...is being treated

for a gunshot wound

following a deadly

shootout this morning

that left one officer dead.

Tombs was the subject of...

- Aah!

- ...boring hairstyle?

Do you go through

a can of hairspray

trying to get that

full-volumized look?

Then bump it up

with Bumpits!

And get that salon-style look.

Flat to fabulous, instantly

Imagine being able to

create today's hot...

What's wrong?

What's going on?

Yeah, it's my birthday

And now you gotta

pick up the phone

- Ow!

- Tree, are you okay?

- Are you sick?

- Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut uuuup!

Oh, my God, make it stop!

Make it stop!

- Make it stop!

- Are you okay?

Get away from me!

All right.

Come on, just...

Stop global warming.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Keep going!

62 bottles of beer

You can take one down,

pass it around

61 bottles of beer

on the wall

Harder!

61 bottles of beer

on the wall

You take one down,

pass it around

I can't hear you!

I'm sorry.

You forgot your stuff.

Help me.

Will you please stop

staring at me

like I took a dump

on your mom's head?

I'm sorry. I'm just tryna

wrap my brain around this.

How's that going for you?

Assuming that I believe any of

this is even remotely possible...

There has to be a reason

you're stuck in this day.

Out of all the days in your life,

what makes this day special?

What gives this day meaning?

- Nothing.

- Yeah, it's my birthday

And now you gotta

pick up the phone

Its' your birthday?

- Yeah.

- Hello?

So? Birthdays are just

excuses to like

eat cake and open presents.

There's no real meaning...

No, it's symbolic

Okay? Whoever's killing you

knows it's your birthday.

Ew.

All right, look.

Give me a list of names

of everybody who knows

it's your birthday

and whoever's trying to kill you.

Well, thanks to my sorority,

pretty much the entire school

knows it's my birthday.

God, they're throwing me this

stupid surprise party tonight.

I mean, it literally

could be anyone.

I mean, who has motive?

Okay, maybe it's Danielle.

All right.

Apparently, I made out

with some guy she liked

right in front of her

last night.

Oh.

Must've been before we met.

Busy night.

Okay, Mister I'm-gonna-

take-this-drunk-girl-home-

and-take-advantage-of-her.

Don't judge.

For the record, I didn't take

advantage of you last night.

Okay? I slept on Ryan's bed.

So, we didn't?

- Have s...

- No!

You were wasted last night.

You know, I was afraid

you were gonna fall or

choke on your own vomit

like Janis Joplin.

Uh, what were we...?

- Suspects.

- Right, suspects.

Um, okay so, Danielle.

Pfff... Gregory?

Um... his wife.

Creepy Tim.

Ooh, that tiny girl from T.J. Maxx

that I got fired.

And maybe the Uber driver

that I spit on last week.

I think his name was...

what?

Nobody's perfect.

Okay, this isn't helping.

This is pointless, isn't it?

All right, look,

the way I see it, is, is...

You have unlimited

amount of lives.

So, you have unlimited opportunities

to solve your own murder.

So, I'm just

supposed to keep

dying unitl I figure out

who my killer is?

That's your genius plan?

Do you have a better idea?

Ha

It's time for me to take it

I'm the boss right now

Not gonna fake it

Not when you go down

'Cause this is my game

And you better come to play

I used to hold my freak back

Now I'm letting go

I make my own choice

B*tch, I run this show

So leave the lights on

No, you can't make me behave

Oh, oh, oh

So you say I'm complicated

That I must be outta my mind

But you had me underrated

Rated, rated

Uh uh huh

What's wrong with being,

what's wrong with being

What's wrong with being confident?

Uh uh huh

What's wrong with being,

what's wrong with being

What's wrong with being confident?

Uh uh huh

It's time to get the chains out

Is your tongue tied up?

'Cause this is my ground

And I'm dangerous

And you can get out

But it's all about me tonight

So you say I'm complicated

It's so exhausting.

A**hole.

But you had me underrated

You b*tch!

I knew it was you!

Come here!

Get off me!

I'm gonna kill you!

What's wrong with being confident?

Uh uh huh

Uh, uh-uh

Yeaah, eh eh ah

So you say I'm complicated

But you had me underrated

Uh uh huh

What's wrong with being,

what's wrong with being

What's wrong with being confident?

Ooh, yeah

Oh, my God!

Becky?

Becky!

Becky!

Becky!

- Shut up!

- Ow!

Yeah, it's my birthday

And now you gotta pick up...

Oh, hey.

You're up.

I wasn't sure if you wanted to

sleep in or...

Your plan totally sucks.

What?

I don't know if you remember

my name or not.

You know, you were

pretty wasted last night.

Um, but I'm Carter.

Are you okay?

Never better.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

Dude, did you hit that

fine vagine, or what?

Sup, hey...

Um, I'm sorry to bother

you guys, uh...

How's it go?

I had to sleep in my car, so...

Carter, please,

a little help.

Carter!

Tree.

Hey, hey, hey, calm down.

I-It's just me.

How you doing?

Wh-what happened?

You collapsed this morning.

What day is it?

It's Monday.

What's the date?

Uh, it's the 18th.

Oh, we've been trying to get

in contact with your parents.

But for some reason...

- Jeez!

- Can I help you?

Uh, I'm just checkin' on her.

It's okay. He's a friend.

Sorry, visiting hours are over.

Got it.

Thanks, Carter.

Feel better.

When can I get out of here?

I'm having a hard time

pulling your medical records.

Why?

We just got these

back from imaging.

These are signs of major trauma.

Given the severity of the scar tissue

and the size of the lesions,

This is gonna sound crazy, but...

technically, you should be dead.

Hey, hey, hey,

what are you doing?

I need to get out of here.

No way, no. You need to

stay here for observation.

If I don't get out of here,

I'm gonna die.

Tree, shh, listen to me.

You are absolutely safe here.

Okay.

I won't let anything

happen to you.

I'm really thirsty.

Could you get me a soda?

Sure.

Thank you.

Special delivery.

Keys, keys, keys...

Greg, where are

the car keys, come on!

Tree, Tree, it's okay.

It's okay, it's just me.

Gregory, look out!

Come on, come on, come on!

I did it.

I did it!

I did it!

Whoo!

Yeah!

Catch me now, b*tch!

Whoo!

What?

Oh, no, no, no!

Come on!

No!

Oh, sh*t!

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

I know I was

speeding, officer, I just...

Turn off the engine, please.

Yes, officer.

License and registration.

I um...

I don't have it.

- Pardon me?

- He's trying to kill me again.
