You put it on,

you swirl it around,

-it'll change colors?

-Oh yeah, I've heard that.

Right?

We totally need that on campus.

-I love that.

-We should urge the school

to provide it

for incoming freshman.

Or guys could just stop

drugging and raping girls

so we don't need

color-changing nail Polish.

That would be nice,

but until that day comes,

I think we need to be prepared.

What if we're not prepared?

What if we have a drink?

What if we wear high heels

and we didn't learn taekwondo?

What if we forgot

our rape whistle at home

and we didn't paint our nails

with color-changing nail Polish

that tells you

if your drink is drugged?

Then what?

We just get raped?

How about instead of that

really useful fashion advice,

the administration starts

teaching guys

that they can't stick

their d*cks wherever they want?

Some people are going

to be violent no matter

what they are taught.

We've got to do our best

to protect ourselves.

-With hashtag - rioheroes?

-At least we're

spreading awareness

and we're actually

doing something.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

You're right. I'm sorry.

You're right.

Okay. Let's talk about

the beauty drive...

-Yes.

-...For next week.

I'll bring a box

to the meeting

and we can collect some

gently used beauty products.

-Hi.

-How's it going?

What's up?

Hi.

You here all by yourself?

Not anymore.

F***.

You trying

to take advantage of me?

Yes, I am.

Careful when you suck.

Yeah. Sh*t.

Oh, f***.

What's your name?

How about

we get another drink.

F***ing crazy.

You're so f***ing sexy.

Is that for me?

Mm-hmm. Here, drink it.

I know you want it.

I know you want it.

It's okay. It's okay.

Hold on.

Hold on. I need--

i need... water.

I need some water.

Hold on.

Are you okay?

I just need a little water.

Oh, water, water, water.

I just--

i just need some water.

Here.

-Is this water?

-Mm-hmm.

Just kidding.

There you go.

There you go.

Just lay down, baby.

Just lay down.

I know you like it.

She loves that, dude.

Get her, get her,

get her, get her.

You're welcome.

Morning, sunshine.

Good morning.

Seems like

you're in a good mood.

Meet a boy?

Something like that.

Mm. Attagirl.

Peas and carrots.

Cause of death

is asphyxiation

due to aspiration

of his own vomit.

He's one

of the football players

from that rape case

last spring.

Was he suicidal?

No.

Look, man, he was going

through some sh*t.

Ah, man, the press is basically

canonizing this kid.

Bullshit.

I'm surprised that house

is still standing.

Date-rape accusations,

the president drinking himself

to death, right?

Yeah, yeah.

That's what it looks like.

And?

I don't know.

It didn't feel right.

Are you going

to tell us anything?

You'll find out when

you need to know.

You're a f***ing tease.

Just on mondays.

Let me see that.

Well?

What do you think?

I love the multiple hands.

It's very suggestive.

Very haunting,

but in a beautiful way.

The richness of the black,

there's so much depth to it.

Shane?

It's - it's sensual

and tormented, sad, beautiful.

Well. Who are you,

and what have you done

with Noelle?

Keep going.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah?

Can I help you?

I've got a surprise for you.

Close your eyes.

Oh yeah.

Surprise.

Oh, bro, bro, you can't just

walk in here like that.

Are Jeremiah and Conor home?

-Oh, guys--

-oh-- oh, sh*t!

Earlier today, balboa

university chancellor...

Blunt force trauma

to the right posterior skull,

causing craniocerebral injury.

Police are not revealing

the cause of death,

citing the ongoing

investigation.

-I'm sorry.

-How long did you

know Jeremiah?

I remember him going upstairs

with a girl with a mask on.

-She had a wig on her head.

-It was pink.

Immediate loss

of consciousness resulted

in a secondary injury to the

upper jaw and loss of blood.

Police are asking the public

to come forward...

How about Conor?

How many years

did you know Conor for?

Same amount of time?

When was the last time

that you'd seen Jeremiah?

Hi. Lindsey Shaw?

Detective Cavanaugh.

I just want to ask you

a few questions.

-Do you have a minute?

-About what?

Jeremiah marks

and Conor Mckinley.

-Am I a suspect?

-I'm not saying that.

Are we done?

Look, I'd just

appreciate your help.

Like you want a tip

from the poor girl

who couldn't prove her rape?

Okay.

For every one of me,

detective,

I'm guessing there are a few

who never even tried--

rightfully.

Why don't you start there?

It's so crazy.

Well, I, for one,

am all for it, so...

Maybe now guys

will think twice.

Does murdering a rapist

really help heal the survivor?

I don't know, but do we really

want rapists on the streets?

Jenna, you know

that most rapes

are repeat offenders, right?

We're here

to support survivors,

not to celebrate

serial killers.

I thought we were here

to create change.

There are other ways

to create change.

Like what?

Writing letters to congress?

Sure. Whatever it takes

short of murdering someone.

But that's just me.

Yeah, I think it is just you.

You ever heard the saying,

"an eye for an eye leaves

the whole world blind?"

The world's already blind.

Due to the tragic incidents

of this past week,

a curfew is now in effect.

Please return

to your dormitories.

-Hey, Noelle.

-Hey.

-Ah. Hot.

-Is it?

Yeah, it's really hot.

Be careful.

It's not that hot.

-I'm really sensitive.

-To heat?

To hot pizza.

Um...Is that--

is that how you eat pizza?

No, yeah. This is

the way the Italians do it.

-Pretty sure it's not.

-Oh, no, no.

You see, girl,

'cause I'm Italian,

I know my culture,

and this is the way we do it.

Ah. You're not Italian.

Have you not seen me?

You can't tell by my face?

You got a little--

just a little something.

Yeah. Yeah.

A little, uh-- little higher.

No, a little bit on the other--

the other side.

A little lower.

Oh, there you go.

Shane.

It was disgusting.

It was gigantic.

What's that?

-What?

-Was that a snort.

No, it wasn't.

-That was a snort.

-It was not a snort.

I'm not making fun of you.

I'm not making fun

of your piggish laugh.

I mean, look,

you're, like, the only girl

I've known that could make

a snort sexy.

I don't want you

I don't want you no more

baby

I thought

that I was good for you

and maybe you were good

for me, too

but we're through now, babe

oh oh oh

I really hope that

you're satisfied

on the other side

where you don't want me

and I don't want you baby

really?

Yeah.

Because I'm having a hard

time trying to read your mind

and I don't need

this kind of pain

I don't want you

want you no more

if it takes this from me

baby, be gone

I don't want you

d-did I, uh--

get out.

-Are you okay?

-Get out.

Okay. Okay.

Skye?

Hey, Skye.

Don't come in here right now.

-What's going on?

-Nothing.

-Oh, my god.

-I'm fine. I'm fine. Nothing.

Skye.

Please don't look.

Stop.

It's okay.

You know my name's

actually Daisy?

Something happened,

and i-- I changed it.
