I couldn't get any sleep last night. The thought of what Monty did to Tyler, couldn't get it out of my mind. Poor Tyler.
Bryce Walker: I know, poor Tyler.
And then there's him. Fucking go away!
Bryce Walker: Come on, Baker. You can't get rid of me that easy. Now, about my murder. At first, I thought Clay killing me made sense. But Monty on the other hand...
Had the most to lose if anyone knew what he did.
Bryce Walker: Exactly. He went off the rails during your trial by fucking with your friends. Hell, he was willing to kill Clay by running him off the road. If he's capable of that, then he's capable of killing me because...
Out of all of us, Monty is the only one who is capable of taking on Bryce because Monty takes steroids!
Bryce Walker: Exactly.
I get up from my bed as Bryce disappears. I get ready for school and I go to the kitchen to have breakfast as my dad, Valerie, & Bridgette are already having breakfast as my dad & Valerie were talking until I joined them at the table. They were giving me a look.
Hannah Baker: What?
Dad & Valerie look at each other.
Valerie: Bridgette, why don't you go get ready for school.
Bridgette: Okay.
Bridgette runs off to get ready for school.
Hannah Baker: What's going on?
Valerie: The police just had a press conference. They've named Clay Jensen a person of interest in Bryce's murder case.
Hannah Baker: Person of Interest? What does that mean?
Andy Baker: It makes him the prime suspect in Bryce's murder.
This can't be happening. Clay is innocent.
Hannah Baker: But, Clay is innocent.
Andy Baker: How can you know, you weren't with him that night. No one was. He has no alibi.
Hannah Baker: I believe Clay. He wouldn't do...
Andy Baker: He did pointed a gun at Bryce.
Hannah Baker: How do you know that?
Valerie: Everyone in town knows.
Andy Baker: Hannah, maybe it's best if you keep your distance from him until this blows over.
Hannah Baker: I can't believe this. Clay was there for me when I was in a coma. And now I'm gonna be there for him!
I lost my appetite. I just stand up, get my stuff, & leave. Instead, I think I'll go to Monet's for breakfast.
Justin wakes up as he sees Clay sitting on his bed staring at him.
Justin Foley: What? What's going on?
Clay Jensen: Yeah. You tell me.
Clay stands up from his bed and takes out the drugs he found in Justin's gym bag from his pocket as Justin immediately sits up.
Justin Foley: You went through my fucking shit?
Clay Jensen: Let's skip the righteous anger and fast forward to you explaining why you have an Oxy prescription in the name of Bryce Walker.
Justin Foley: Fuck. Okay. Look, Clay.
Clay Jensen: Are you using again?
Justin Foley: No!
Clay Jensen: I don't believe you.
Justin Foley: I'm... I'm not! Jesus, Clay, I swear.
Clay Jensen: You told me that the last time you saw Bryce was at the end of summer. This prescription is from a month ago. You guys stayed in contact. He sold these to you, didn't he?
Justin Foley: You've got it all wrong.
Clay Jensen: Then explain it to me. Where did you find the pills?
Justin Foley: At the Chatham house. Bryce's funeral.
Justin puts a shirt on and gets up from his bed.
Clay Jensen: Don't lie to me.
Justin Foley: I'm not! Dude, you... You saw me. Upstairs, in the hallway. Remember? I told you I was looking for the bathroom. I had just taken the Oxy from Bryce's bathroom, that's... That's why I was acting so weird, but I'm telling you, it was just that once.
Justin sits back down on his bed as he continues to explain to Clay about the drugs.
Justin Foley: It was just that day. Bryce was dead, and I was all fucked up. And I just went to look for a place to chill, and suddenly, I was in Bryce's room and... it was fucking with my head. I just felt empty and messed up and... just alone.
Clay Jensen: So, it was just one time?
Justin Foley: Yeah. I fucked up. I'm sorry. I'm really... I'm really sorry. Just please... don't tell your folks.
Clay & Justin both got ready for school as they leave the outhouse and inside the house through the kitchen where they find Matt & Lainie sitting on the kitchen table with Dennis Vasquez waiting for them.
Clay Jensen: What happened?
Lainie Jensen: Clay, honey, sit down.
Clay Jensen: I don't want to sit down.
Dennis Vasquez: You've officially been named a person of interest by the Sheriff. He held a press conference this morning.
Clay Jensen: A press conference?
Justin Foley: What does that mean? "A person of interest?" What the fuck is that?
Matt Jensen: Character assassination is what it is.
Dennis Vasquez: It's a tactic.
Lainie Jensen: It means nothing legally.
Clay Jensen: Doesn't feel like nothing. Feels like they're about to arrest me!
Dennis Vasquez: They can't. They don't have enough. So they try to put public pressure on you. They don't have the evidence to call you a suspect, but they want you scared.
Clay Jensen: Well done, then.
Matt Jensen: Maybe it's best if you boys stay home from school today.
Clay Jensen: No. No way. We're not doing that.
Justin Foley: Clay...
Clay Jensen: You can stay home.
Justin Foley: No, of course not. I've got your back. That's what we do.
Clay Jensen: Let's get a coffee on the way and talk.
As I sit there eating a sandwich, I can't help but wonder how Clay is doing now that the police have made him the prime suspect.
Justin Foley: Hannah.
I turn to see Justin & Clay coming into Monet's as I stand up and give them each a hug.
Hannah Baker: I heard about the press conference.
Justin Foley: Yeah, he's freaking out a little bit. I'm gonna go get us some coffee.
Justin goes to the counter to place their order as me & Clay both sit down.
Hannah Baker: How are you doing?
Clay Jensen: They're gonna arrest me, Hannah. The only way to get them off me is if we tell them to look into Monty. But we can't without telling them what he did to Tyler.
Hannah Baker: I couldn't get any sleep because of that. My dad & Valerie told me about the press conference. They said I should stay away from you until this whole thing blows over.
Clay Jensen: What do you say?
Hannah Baker: I say fuck that!
We both laugh. I'm glad I got to cheer him up.
Austin James: Taken?
Clay Jensen: Knock yourself out.
Who the hell is this guy?
Austin James: Yeah, I should hope not. Coffee's supposed to do the opposite of that, right?
He just takes a seat close to Clay as I finish up my sandwich.
Austin James: No school today?
Clay Jensen: It starts in half an hour.
Austin James: Yeah. I'm surprised you're going.
Hannah Baker: I'm sorry?
He scoots up to the chair next to Clay and takes out a audio recorder. You've got to be kidding me, a fucking reporter!
Austin James: After the police named you a person of interest in Bryce Walker's murder. How does that feel?
Clay Jensen: What the...
Hannah Baker: Who are you?
Austin James: Austin James. I write for The Evergreen County Register. Just want to chat about the case.
Justin Foley: Hey, get the fuck out.
Thank god Justin is here in time.
Austin James: Just enjoying a cup of coffee.
Justin Foley: All right, then we'll get the fuck out. If you come in here again, I'll see to it that your coffee is pissed in.
Me & Clay both stand up...
Hannah Baker: Wait, did you say you're Austin James from The Evergreen County Register?
Austin James: Yes.
I immediately punch him in the face, knocking him off his seat.
Justin Foley: Whoa!
Clay Jensen: Hannah!
Hannah Baker: Let me introduce myself. I'm Hannah Baker. The "exhibitionist with low self-esteem" you wrote about during my trial while I was in a coma! Asshole! Let's go.
The 3 of us leave Monet's.
Clay Jensen: Thanks for the save.
Hannah Baker: Anytime.
Justin Foley: Yeah. What a dick.
Clay Jensen: So that was the guy who wrote about your trial?
Hannah Baker: Yeah. I've been hoping to run into him.
Clay, Justin, & Hannah head to school as all as all eyes are on Clay. Clay walks in the hallways as every student just stare at him. Clay goes to his locker as Ani approaches him.
Ani Achola: Ignore the chatter.
Clay Jensen: It's pretty loud.
Ani Achola: Well, don't talk back.
Clay Jensen: You mean don't defend myself?
Ani Achola: It doesn't matter what you say, it matters how you seem. And you seem angry. Guilty people get angry.
Clay Jensen: Maybe people who are falsely accused get more angry. But you're still not sure which one I am, right?
Clay closes his locker as he was about to leave, but not before telling Ani one more thing.
Clay Jensen: Oh, and your precious Bryce was doing Oxy.
Ani Achola: What makes you think that?
Clay Jensen: Because Justin stole some from his room after the funeral.
Ani Achola: Is that what Justin told you? And you believe him?
Clay Jensen: I believe it of Bryce.
During class, Clay decided to ask Alex, who was sitting next to him about Bryce dealing Oxy.
Clay Jensen: Did Bryce ever deal Oxy?
Alex Standall: No, Bryce did not deal Oxy.
Clay Jensen: How can you be so sure?
Alex Standall: Uh, 'cause I tried to buy some from him and he flat-out refused.
Clay Jensen: Why would you need it?
Alex Standall: Sprained hamstring from lifting. I wanted something to push through the pain, but he wouldn't give it to me. He said that shit was too addictive.
Clay Jensen: That's oddly considerate.
Alex Standall: Yeah, I thought so. So, why do you want to know if Bryce dealt Oxy?
Clay Jensen: Um, you know, um... I'm trying to figure out who may have killed him.
Alex Standall: It wasn't me. Where does the Oxy come in?
Clay Jensen: I don't know.
Teacher: Gentlemen. Solve, please.
Alex was suspicious about Clay's questions. Why would Clay ask about Oxy? He immediately thought of one person, Justin Foley. After class, Justin & Jessica run into each other. They've been avoiding each other since everyone found out from Alex that they've been hooking up.
Justin Foley: Hey.
Jessica Davis: I suck. I've been totally avoiding you.
Justin Foley: I don't blame you. Alex really fucked shit up for you. Using me. So, transitively, I fucked shit up for you. Math.
Jessica Davis: It's not your fault.
Justin Foley: It fucking feels like it. All I do is mess up your life.
Jessica Davis: I'm the hypocrite, not you.
Justin Foley: Jess, I... I don't want this to be over.
Jessica Davis: I don't either.
Justin Foley: Okay. So, maybe we just... go back on the down-low till all this settles?
Jessica Davis: No. No, I'm supposed to be living my truth, right? Well, the truth is that I love your lame ass, Justin Foley.
They both chuckle.
Justin Foley: People are gonna talk about us.
Jessica Davis: People always talk about us. Fuck 'em.
Justin & Jessica kiss each other as everyone in the hallways see them kissing. But Justin & Jessica don't give a fuck.
Jessica Davis: Fuck 'em.
Justin Foley: Fuck!
Clay told me that he found a bottle of Oxy prescribed to Bryce in Justin's gym bag, hidden inside a can of shaving cream. I couldn't believe that Justin would still be doing drugs. He's been clean ever since he got out of juvie. According to Clay, Justin stole it from Bryce's room during his funeral. We needed answers. Clay already asked Alex. So we decided to ask someone who is close to Justin. Zach.
Zach Dempsey: No way. No, if Justin were using, he would've been caught. We were tested.
Clay Jensen: Well, he told me he only used once a few weeks ago. Would that have been after you got tested?
Hannah Baker: Any chance he got lucky and the timing worked out?
Clay Jensen: Or maybe you knew he was using and you helped him?
Zach Dempsey: No. No way. I won't put up with that shit, okay? We play clean. He's been doing well, Clay. Football's been good for him, you know it has. He's healthy.
Clay Jensen: Yeah, I thought he was. I hoped...
Zach Dempsey: He's healthy, okay? I mean, that's the whole reason I got him to play last summer.
It's true. Playing football has been good for Justin. He didn't want to go back but both Zach & Clay managed to convinced him. When Justin came back to football, he was out of shape because of his drug use. Coach Kerba didn't want to give up on him, so he pushed him hard. Last month, Jessica tried to eliminate student council funding for the football team. The team appealed to Jessica not to do it and it was Justin who convinced her not to do it.
Zach Dempsey: He's passed every drug test, hasn't missed a practice. He's in good shape.
Clay Jensen: I want to believe that.
Zach Dempsey: So, do.
Hannah Baker: I want to believe Justin, too.
Justin is in the bathroom peeing in the urinal as Alex enters to pee in the urinal as well.
Alex Standall: You need to tell Jess that you're using again.
Justin Foley: Did Clay tell you that?
Alex Standall: It's true, isn't it?
Justin Foley: Did Clay tell you?
Alex Standall: No, but you are. Using.
Justin Foley: What the fuck does it matter to you? You're just looking for another reason to be pissed at me? To fuck things up between me and Jess?
Alex Standall: Yeah and no. I do think that you're a worthless piece of shit that doesn't deserve her, but... she seems to love you for whatever reason.
Justin Foley: But you can't deal with that?
Alex Standall: I've been dealing with it for two years now, asshole, while you've been destroying her life.
Justin Foley: When are you gonna fucking quit?
Alex Standall: When are you? She deserves the truth.
Alex washed his hands and walks out of the boys room. Justin begins to wonder if Alex is right, is he really fucking up Jessica's life by still using. Meanwhile, Clay goes to meet Tyler Down in the red room where Tyler was listening to something on his laptop.
Clay Jensen: Hey.
Tyler Down: Hey.
Tyler closes his laptop.
Tyler Down: Uh... what's up?
Clay Jensen: Just checking on you. You okay?
Tyler Down: Shouldn't I be asking you?
Clay Jensen: You saw the news?
Tyler Down: Yeah. I kinda think everyone did. For what it's worth, you've always been interesting to me. As a person. That was supposed to be a joke. Maybe it's not a time for jokes. Maybe I'm not good at jokes. Um...
Clay Jensen: Little bit of both, but thanks for trying.
Tyler Down: Hey, would it be stupid if I... gave you some advice? About something I know about?
Clay Jensen: Um... No, not... Not stupid. What's up?
Tyler Down: When people stare at you and talk... or they don't stare but you can tell that they want to, just... just remember that you know who you are, and they don't.
Clay Jensen: Right. Thanks, Ty.
It's lunchtime, Clay walks through the hallways as every student just look at him and begin to wonder if he did kill Bryce Walker. Clay enters the cafeteria and sees that everyone are looking at him and he spots Ani who give him a smile. Rather than sitting with Ani, Clay sits at another table far from Ani. Once he sits down on the table where 2 students are eating their lunch, the 2 students grab their trays and walk away from Clay. Clay had become a social pariah, but he would not be alone for long as he is then joined by Hannah.
Hannah Baker: So how was your day?
Clay Jensen: Everyone has been looking at me. Keeping their distance from me.
Hannah Baker: Not me. My dad may have told me to stay away from you, but I believe you. And I'm sure there's some people here who believe you.
Cyrus: Hey, guys. Mind if we join you?
Cyrus & his friends joins us for lunch.
Clay Jensen: No, not at all.
Hannah Baker: Room for everyone.
Chad: This healthy school lunch thing is the worst.
Hannah Baker: Tell me about it. I bought my lunch from Monet's.
Eric: Hey, my mom could bag you a lunch.
Toby: Are you eating three sandwiches?
Eric: I'm growing.
Chad: God, I hope not. You're like a fucking giant.
Cyrus: Clay, man, we should hang out more. You too, Hannah.
Hannah Baker: I like that. What do you think, Clay?
Clay Jensen: Yeah. No, we totally should. Um... you know I didn't kill Bryce, right?
Chad: Oh, yeah, totally.
Cyrus: We don't hang out with murderers, only the dispossessed.
Toby: I don't know what that word means, but right on.
I smile at the fact that there is someone else other than me & our friends who believe in Clay. After we were done with our lunch, we walk towards Clay's locker.
Hannah Baker: See, there are others who believe you. Not just us.
Clay Jensen: I am glad that they believe me, but everyone else will believe anything they hear on the news.
As we continue walking, Ani catches up to us.
Hannah Baker: Before you say anything, Ani. Do you really think Clay killed Bryce?
Ani Achola: Look, I'm sorry. Just watching that video of him with the gun and not knowing where he was that night... I'm sorry. But I don't think he did it.
Clay Jensen: You don't anymore?
Ani Achola: No, I don't. And there's something you should know, Clay. Justin was lying to you.
Hannah Baker: Why do you say that?
Ani Achola: He told Clay he stole a bottle after the funeral? Just a one-off?
Clay Jensen: Yeah, a one-time relapse. He says he found the pills in Bryce's bedroom during the wake.
Ani Achola: He's lying. After the police found Bryce's steroid stash at the crime scene, they swept his room clean.
Hannah Baker: Wait, what?
Clay Jensen: Shit!
Justin was indeed lying. He's looking through his locker hoping to find a fix when Jessica comes up to him from behind by giving him a hug.
Jessica Davis: Hey, there.
Justin Foley: Jess, not now.
Jessica Davis: What? We're public.
Justin Foley: Yeah, and it feels like you're making a big show out of it.
Jessica Davis: What the hell does that mean?
Justin Foley: It means that it doesn't feel like it's about us, it feels like it's about you.
Justin begins to walk away and Jessica follows him.
Jessica Davis: It's not! What's going on with you?
Justin Foley: Just stop using me to make a fucking point!
Jessica Davis: I'm not!
Jessica stops Justin and turns him around.
Jessica Davis: The only point I'm making is that I love you and that's all that matters.
Justin Foley: Okay, well, you... you shouldn't love me. You shouldn't.
Jessica Davis: What? Why not?
Justin Foley: Because I'm fucking bad for you!
Justin tries to leave but Jessica stops him.
Jessica Davis: Hey, what are you saying right now? Talk to me. What's going on?
Justin Foley: I cheated on you.
Jessica Davis: What?
Justin Foley: I said I cheated on you!
Jessica Davis: I don't believe you.
Justin Foley: Okay, well, it's true. You should.
Jessica Davis: When? When did this happen?
Justin Foley: Homecoming night. You tried to call me. That's where I was. I was with some other girl.
Jessica Davis: Who?
Justin Foley: Jess, it doesn't matter. You just shouldn't be with me, okay? It's fucking over.
Tears begin to fall from both their eyes as Justin walks away leaving Jessica just standing there all alone.
The 3 of us decided to talk to Justin after school at Monet's.
Ani Achola: The Oxy that you stole from Bryce's room, where exactly did you find it?
Justin Foley: It was, um... It was in his medicine cabinet. In the bathroom.
Ani Achola: Lies are harder to remember than the truth, aren't they? I cleaned that bathroom out myself. You didn't find anything.
Hannah Baker: Was he selling?
Clay Jensen: And did you owe him money?
Justin Foley: Why would I kill Bryce after he saved my fucking life?
Hannah Baker: Bryce save your life? How?
Justin tells us that Seth came up to him one day at Monet's when Justin was working. Justin told me when I was in my coma, he stole money from him not once but twice. The first time was when he first ran away last year. The second was when when he went back to his mother after he almost overdose in Clay's room last spring. The Jensens are aware of Seth and so are social service. Seth forced Justin to deal for him in Monet's while serving drinks. If Justin refused, Seth would've killed him. Justin had no choice, he was selling heroin for Seth during his shifts at Monet's, but not all of it. Justin snuck some for himself. One day, Justin was caught in the back alley of Monet's by Seth at gun point. The cops showed up and arrested Justin while Seth got away. That's when Justin called Bryce to bail him out of jail. Justin told Bryce about his deal with Seth and Bryce helped him out. They met with Seth the next day behind Monet's. Bryce gave Seth $2,000.00 to pay off Justin's debt and an extra $3,000.00 to leave him alone. After that, Bryce gave Justin a bottle of his prescribed Oxy so Justin won't have to take heroin.
Justin Foley: Bryce had my back. If it wasn't for him, Seth... He would've blown my brains out.
Clay Jensen: Did you ever see him again? Bryce?
Justin Foley: It was just a one-time thing. I tried to avoid him until the Homecoming game. Just, I couldn't... I couldn't face him.
Clay Jensen: So, you have no idea how he died?
Justin didn't say another word for a second as he takes out his phone.
Justin Foley: Seth... sent me a text on the day they found his body.
Justin gives us his phone to show us the text that Seth sent. The text said "We need to talk. Answer me. I'm coming for you next."
Hannah Baker: Shit!
Ani Achola: Jesus.
Justin Foley: I didn't kill Bryce. But I think that I might be the reason he is dead.
Clay Jensen: So, you really believe that Seth killed Bryce?
Justin Foley: I don't know. Maybe. It could be that he... he did. It could be that... we make the cops think that he did. Either way, I know where to start.
Justin took us to where Seth has his base of operations. We break in to look for any evidence.
Justin Foley: All right, we gotta be quick.
Hannah Baker: Can we expect him back soon?
Justin Foley: I don't know. He doesn't exactly keep banker's hours.
Clay Jensen: Somebody's been shopping.
Ani Achola: Yeah, with Bryce's money, I'm guessing.
There are boxes of electronics. Cell phones, stereos, T.V.'s, you name it.
Clay Jensen: So, let's find proof. Anything that links Seth to Bryce.
We all start digging around hoping we can find anything liking Seth to Bryce's murder.
Ani Achola: Holy shit! Guys.
We look at Ani as she found something. We go up to her and she found a gold Rolex.
Ani Achola: This is Bryce's watch.
Clay Jensen: Which means they met up again.
Ani Achola: Maybe Bryce gave it to him when Seth came back for more.
Clay Jensen: Or he took it. Off of Bryce's body after he killed him. We have to go to the cops.
Hannah Baker: We...
Then the door opens, Seth had arrived. We were caught by Seth as he has returned from making his rounds.
Seth Massey: What the fuck are you doing here?
Clay Jensen: We know what you did to Bryce Walker. We're calling the cops.
Justin Foley: No, Clay, don't!
Seth Massey: The fuck you talking about?
Hannah Baker: Justin told us how Bryce paid you off so you'd leave him alone.
Seth Massey: Oh, he did now?
Justin Foley: Guys, stop!
Clay Jensen: And you went back to Bryce, right? For more money, but he refused so you taught him a lesson.
Seth Massey: And what lesson was that?
Clay Jensen: You killed him.
Seth Massey: You don't know shit.
Hannah Baker: Then why do you have his watch?
Seth scoffs and looks at Justin and then looks back at us with a smile on his face.
Seth Massey: Ain't you that girl who tried to kill herself last year? The one who the rich boy raped?
Hannah Baker: Fuck you!
Seth Massey: I'll take that as a yes. Is that what you think?
Justin Foley: Shut the fuck up, Seth.
Seth Massey: I had no idea the watch belonged to the dead kid. Junkie here gave it to me for product.
Justin Foley: He's a fucking liar!
Seth Massey: You can live in a fancy house, but you're still a fucking junkie. Just like your whore mama.
Justin Foley: Fuck you!
Justin pushes Seth...
Clay Jensen: Justin!
But then pulls out his gun and points it to Justin.
Hannah Baker: Oh, shit!
Seth Massey: Get the fuck back.
Clay Jensen: Whoa! Justin!
I had to think fast. I grab Seth's arm and take the gun away from him and toss him to the ground. Those lessons by Caleb really came through. We got the fuck out of there before Seth got up as I toss the gun away.
After they got away from Seth, Clay went to drop off Ani at the Chatham house while Hannah drove home. Clay & Justin went back home to process what happened. Laine enters the outhouse to give them some very bad news involving Justin's adoption into the Jensen family.
Lainie Jensen: Legally, it should have no bearing on the adoption proceedings, but Clay's over 18 now, and if any adult living in the household has been convicted of a felony... the adoption will be denied.
Justin Foley: So, what do we do?
Lainie Jensen: For now, we wait. They won't recommend your case to a judge until... until they have some clarity on Clay's situation.
Justin Foley: Okay.
Lainie Jensen: Justin? You always have a home here, no matter what. Okay?
Justin Foley: Yeah. Yeah, I know.
Lainie Jensen: You boys get some sleep.
Laine then leaves as the room is now silent.
Clay Jensen: I'm sorry.
Justin Foley: For what? For fucking what? I mean, you didn't do anything. It's not your fault. You have nothing to be sorry for. I love you, man.
Clay Jensen: Yeah, me too.
Justin Foley: I have to take a shit.
Justin then goes to the restroom in the outhouse. Clay is giving a suspicious on his face as he gets up from his seat. He slowly heads to the restroom door and is listening in on Justin. Clay slides the door open and he sees that Justin is about to snort cocaine.
Clay Jensen: Justin!
Justin Foley: Shut the fucking door!
Clay Jensen: What're you doing?
Justin Foley: What the fuck does it look like?
Justin snorts the coke as Clay looks on in disbelief.
Clay Jensen: You've been lying to me. You've been getting high this whole time!
Justin Foley: No.
Justin walks out of the restroom.
Justin Foley: No, I don't... I don't get high anymore. I get by. I maintain. I fucking... I fucking survive!
Clay Jensen: Seth was telling the truth about the watch, wasn't he?
Justin Foley: I didn't kill Bryce!
Clay Jensen: Then help me believe you! Tell me how you ended up with his watch. No more lies!
Justin Foley: Okay. No more lies.
Justin explains to Clay that because he was taking the Oxy, he was gonna fail a drug test that the team had to take before Liberty's opening game. Justin didn't performing well on defense and he informed Zach that he's gonna fail the drug test because he's been using, so Zach decided to switch the urine test with a clean one. Justin said that Zach was disappointed in him about using and lying to Clay about him being clean. After the opening game, Justin meet with Bryce so he can get the Oxy from him. Bryce told Justin that this was the last time he would give him any drugs of any kind.
Clay Jensen: He gave you the drugs so he could control you. Same reason he ever gave you anything.
Justin Foley: No, this was different. He... was different.
Clay Jensen: He's a user, Justin. Always was.
Justin Foley: If anything, I was using him.
Clay Jensen: But you didn't kill him?
Justin Foley: No.
Clay Jensen: But you weren't with Jessica that night?
Justin Foley: No.
Clay Jensen: Then where were you?
Justin Foley: After the Homecoming game, I... I needed to get fucked up, so I did.
Clay Jensen: Where'd you go?
Justin Foley: Down by the docks.
Clay Jensen: How do I know I can believe you?
Justin Foley: How do I know I can believe you?
Clay Jensen: Why did you go to Bryce for help? Instead of me?
Justin Foley: Come on, Clay. You can figure that one out. You detoxed me once, remember?
Clay Jensen: How do we get you clean now?
Justin Foley: We tell your parents. They send me away.
Clay Jensen: They wouldn't.
Justin Foley: To a treatment center or a rehab, or some bullshit like that. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. Maybe I just... get the hell out of here and spare everyone the trouble.
Clay Jensen: You... you don't want to do that, though, right?
Justin Foley: I really... really don't.
After giving it some thought, Clay decided to give the Oxy back Justin.
Clay Jensen: Just so you know... I'd do anything for you. Anything.
Justin Foley: Same. Anything.
After telling Clay the truth, Justin went to bed to go to sleep as Clay stayed up looking at his laptop when suddenly his phone vibrates. He picks up the phone as he sees who's calling him and answers the call.
Clay Jensen: Hi, Mrs. Baker. Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't call you back. I just... Yes. We should talk. All right. Yeah, I'll see you then.
Clay hangs up.
Clay Jensen: Shit!
I'm sitting on the couch in the living room still thinking about what happened with Seth. My phone vibrates as I pick it up. It's a unknown number. I answer the call...
Hannah Baker: Hello?
Bill Standall: Hannah, it's Deputy Bill Standall. Alex's dad.
Alex's dad? Why is he calling me?
Hannah Baker: Mr. Standall? Is everything alright? How did you get...?
Bill Standall: I got your number from Alex. The reason I'm calling you is because we need you to come down to the station tomorrow. We've got some questions.
Hannah Baker: I already answers the sheriff's questions.
Bill Standall: I know you did, he told me. But we've got more questions for both you & your mother.
Hannah Baker: My mother?
Bill Standall: Yes. She's coming down to the station tomorrow morning.
Hannah Baker: Wait, she's in town?
Bill Standall: Yeah, she is. I just called her for a confirmation. The sheriff will question her and I'll be questioning you.
Hannah Baker: Okay, thanks for the call. I'll be there tomorrow morning.
Bill Standall: Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning.
He hangs up on the other line.
Bryce Walker: Oh, oh. Someone's in trouble.
I look over at Bryce who's sitting on a chair across from me. My mom is in town and she didn't call? Why didn't she called?
