12x17 - Sabotage: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

In summary, my internship
at the "toronto interpreter"

Was...

-Is a valuable learning
opportunity.

Any questions?

Ms. Oh:
what's the most important thing
your mentor taught you?

What are you doing?!

Asher:
clare.

Stop it please.

Clare, no one has to know.

Clare:
no, I'm-

Asher:
clare, you're overreacting!

If you care about your career,
you'll keep your mouth shut!

Ms. Oh:
clare?

Sorry, could you repeat
the question?

Ms. Oh:
what did you learn
from asher shostak?

That no one will believe
your story

Unless you have facts
to back it up.

(Bell rings)

Alli:
well, you managed to fake
your way through that one.

Clare:
I can't tell ms. Oh I got fired
until I have proof

That asher sexually harassed me,
and the only way to do that is-

Alli:
find another victim,
but what if you don't?

You've already talked
to the last five interns!

Clare:
maybe number six
will be the charm.

Look, I've gotta hide out
before someone sees me.

Alli:
clare, this isn't like you.

Hiding out, obsessing.

Once I fix this, everything
will go back to normal.

Okay?

(Scoffs)

Whoa! Are you chasing
a criminal?

(Half laughs)

I'm...i'm just really
late for co-op,

And I forgot something
in my locker,

So I have to go.

Oh well,
can I get a kiss

Before you go spend
all your time

With asher "piercing
blue eyes" shostak?

(Laughs nervously)

Oh, that's it?
Rip off!

I'm sorry,
I'm just so late!

Mrs. Cohen:
or you can use ethanol
instead of water.

You can just gently...

Swirl it like that.

(Students talk quietly)

Hey!

How did you get past security
without your id tag?

Drew:
well, officer turner and I
go way back.

What's up, bro?

Ionic covalent bonding.

Yeah, it sounds boring.

Bianca:
it is, but my study buddy clown
is keeping me entertained.

Owen:
oh, yeah.

What's up?

Pistons tickets?

Drew:
I thought we could drive
down there tomorrow,

Maybe hit up an outlet mall,

Stay in a hotel room...

Settle down, big spender.

Well, I got my first commission
cheque last night.

And let's just say
I am flush with cash.

It sounds awesome but I have a
huge chemistry test this week.

Really?

Come on,
I never see you anymore.

Well, we started
a study group,

So we're all gonna be working
at the loft tomorrow.

Does that count?

Yeah, I guess.

Mrs. Cohen:
ahem!

Drew torres, you're no longer
a student here,

Goodbye!

Owen:
hey bro, don't worry.

I'll take care of your girl
while you're at work.

(Owen and bianca snicker)

Bianca:
stop!

Madam.

Clare:
jennifer?

Hi, um my name is clare,

I left you a bunch
of voicemails?

Okay, yeah um,
so as I said,

I just have a couple
questions for you

About your internship
with "the interpreter."

Hockey players:
(hollering and laughing)
yeaaaaaah!

Yeah! I'm ready!

Awesome.

Oh...hey.

Uh, can you clear out?

I was here first.

Luke:
hey, whatever.

Player:
let's go, let's go.

What are you doing?

It's happy hour.

It's eleven am!

Wish my mom taught me
how to tell time!

(Guys holler)

Dallas:
yeah, buddy!

(Cell phone rings)

Sorry, uh, my phone cut out.

You gonna bring blondie
in here, baker?

I might, I might.

Luke:
it's not like you have any luck
with degrassi girls.

That's because degrassi girls
be crazy.

Okay, hi.

I'm on the phone here,
do you mind?

Do you want one?

Might loosen you up
a little bit.

Dallas:
hey, let her be.

Clare:
oh!

You can meet me right now?

That's great, I will text you
the address right away.

Thank you.

Aww, don't leave us!

Sorry, I've got a bigger
chauvinist pig to roast.

All right, let's go,
let's chug this.

Tori:

You're very talented.

Dave:
are you flirting with me?

No! I have a rock star
boyfriend.

I have a girlfriend.

Tori:
are you still going out
with alli bhandari?

She never comes by rehearsals.

Uh, she's fast-tracking
to graduate this year.

It's a lot of extra
school work.

O m to the g!

Pizza so pizza just tweeted,

They're holding
a contest at the mall.

And the prize
is a guest role

On "west drive!"

I'm dying!
I'm so dead!

Dead!

Uh, we should all go together.

I can drive.

Aw guys, I love
our cast showmance!

Me too!

But you losers know I'm
landing this guest role.

No, hell no,
it's totally mine.

(Giggles)

Deluded much?
It's so mine!

Thanks for meeting me,
jennifer.

I found a ton
of your articles online.

How did you become
so successful so young?

Hard work, dedication,

Plus, a glowing reference
letter from asher shostak

Opens a lot of doors.

You interned during your
senior year of high school?

Yep, and through university.

After that, I got hired
full time.

Did you work closely
with asher?

Um...
I fact-checked,

Shadowed most
of his interviews,

Assisted with editing.

Did you ever stay late?

Sure. Sometimes.

Did you experience any...

Inappropriate behavior?

By anyone?
By asher?

You said this is for
a class presentation?!

It's on sexual harassment
in the workplace.

Jennifer:
oh my god,
you're clare edwards.

That intern that got fired!

No wait, please, I just need
to know if you ever-

No! Nothing like that
ever happened to me

At "the interpreter."

(Sighs heavily)

(Bell rings)

Clare:
jennifer was the last
of asher's interns.

I'm at a dead-end.

Alli:
so, please say you'll tell
ms. Oh now.

After all this time,
will she even believe me?

I messed up not reporting
asher right away.

Now he's just gonna take
everything I say,

And twist it around
so it's my fault once again.

I'm trapped.

Well, what about eli?

He's a week from
opening night,

It'll just upset him.

Yeah, but he'll be even
more upset

Once he finds out
that you've lied.

(Sighs)

Clare:
I just want this so bad.

Asher:
well, I'm happy to teach

When the student is as eager
as you are.

Clare:
I am very, very eager.

You okay?

No, I am not.

You look like you could
use a beer.

Let's go.

Have a great day.

What bug crawled up your butt?

I stopped by my high school
the other day,

And I just-

I felt so out of the loop
with everything.

My classes, my friends.

Your crazy-hot girlfriend?

It must be hard to see her
surrounded by guys

Who haven't dropped out.

Do you think bianca
thinks I'm a loser?

Uh, no!
How could she?

You've got the cash money.

Spoil her!

Well, I planned
an overnight trip,

But she couldn't do it.

There's more than one way to
splash your money around, dt.

You could buy her a motorcycle.

No, too dangerous.

A hovercraft.

Too ridiculous.

A pony!

Wait, why are you stuck
on modes of transportation?

I don't know,
it's my go-to.

Well, bianca's holding
a study group

At my place today.

I've gotta do something
while she's there

To prove to her
I'm not a loser.

Ooh.

(Sighs)

Dave:
hey catherine,

Your heathcliff has a request.

This book is t*rture.
Why so many pages?

Does emily bronte
have any idea

Just how much grade
calculus homework I have?

So they're having
a talent contest

Tonight at the mall,

And the winner gets
a guest role on "west drive."

Come cheer me on?

Um...i have...

Oh, forget it.

Look I'm sorry,

Maybe you can come over
to my place afterwards,

And give me a minute
by minute recap?

What time?

After I'm done
my reading,

I'll text you
if it'll work.

(Sighs)

And apparently,
he's had six interns,

But I'm the only one
he's ever tried to kiss,

But maybe not.

Maybe I'm the only one
who complained about it,

So I'm the only one
who got fired.

Every other girl just took
the reference letter,

And went merrily
on their merry way.

Dallas:
hmm. That sounds intense.

And your boyfriend knows
nothing about it?

(Gulps)

No... No,
he would lose it.

Hmm.

(Drunken giggle)

You don't drink
very much, do you?

Clare:
no, not- not ever, no.

I'm drinking at school,
that is not good.

I shouldn'tve told you
all that stuff,

I'm just gonna stop talking.

Talking is overrated.

I heard that.

Aaah!
Oh! What the-

What the hell?!
Clare: you're so gross!

Why would you think
that we would...

You kicked off your shoes!

And that's some secret code
for let's make out?!

Unbelievable!

You invite me
into a secret room,

Get hammered off
of one beer,

And I'm unbelievable?!

Clare:
ugh!

No, no, dallas is harmless.

Harmless?
Clare, look what he did!

Mike dallas wrecked

Yeah, him and his
hockey g*ons.

Well, what is simpson
doing about it?

Well, we haven't
told him yet,

We have no proof, it would
just be a wild accusation

That dallas can deny.

Let's see how he denies it
after I rearrange his face.

Katie:
that's not gonna do anything
except get you in trouble.

Jake:
yeah, but we have
to do something.

(Camera beeps)

My journalism senses
are tingling.

That could be the beer.

The hockey players need to be
held accountable for this.

They're not above the rules,

And I'm gonna make sure

An interview,

With you, on the record.

Drew:

We're supposed to be studying.

What, you can't study

Wow.

Yeah, I know.

All right guys, get ready,

I have jake and katie's

Plus I found two grade girls

Leave the garden

You might make some serious

Guys, what about

Owen:

Drew.

Bianca:
one flunked test might mean

Can you please stop talking

It's a bit of a drag.

No, it's called growing up.

Well, I'm making money,
you should be happy.

I should be happy
that you dropped out?

So there it is,
you think I'm a loser.

No, I think you
made a mistake.

One that you can undo.

And how's that?

Make up with your mom,
move home,

And come back to school!

Drew:
you're serious?

The only way you'll be happy is

If I do everything that I hate?

I'm just worried
about you, drew.

Audra said that-

"Audra said?"

Oh so, you and my mom
are talking behind my back?

Well, that's just great!

Okay,

Can we just talk about this

Drew:

I'm pretty clear

You wanted to see me, sir?

I wanna talk to you

I wrote the truth,
they ruined the garden.

That's outrageous!

Jake martin and katie matlin
spoke to me on the record.

Dallas:
your step-brother,
and the disgraced ex-president.

Reliable sources!

Katie's had a vendetta
against us since day one,

And frankly, my team's
starting to hate this school.

Dallas, I apologize.

But I have proof!

Eyewitness statements,

And photos of the beer
in the props room!

Of empty cans,
not my guys!

I personally saw them
bring alcohol

Onto the school property,
and drink it!

You were enjoying them
yourself just fine yesterday!

So you admit the beer
was yours?

Fine, yes.
But not the garden.

It's called reasonable doubt.

(Sighs) damn.

Mr. Simpson:
this article was published
without my permission.

You'll serve one week
detention.

And then another two weeks
for drinking on school property.

You can go now.

Dallas, let's make a call

Hey bianca, good luck

(Siren blares)

My article worked!

Simpson and the ice
hounds coach

Are doling out punishments
as we speak.

Katie:
wait, justice actually
prevailed?

Jake:
I'm stunned!
Thanks, clare.

And here comes the backlash.

Dallas:
congratulations.

Three weeks detention
for our starting line-up,

Meaning we miss three games.

With our star
rookie injured,

We can probably kiss
a playoff spot goodbye!

Oh, don't be all defeatist.

Ever heard of a comeback?

You screwed us over!

Katie:
yeah well, now you know
what it's like

To have something you care
about taken away from you.

Aren't you two
just the cutest?!

I did nothing to you!

You mess with my friends,
you mess with me.

Just back off, dallas.

It's over.

You like to air other people's
dirty laundry in public?

How would your boyfriend here
like to know yours?

What's he talking about?

Uh, dallas found out
that um...

I got fired from
"the interpreter"

A few weeks ago.

See, I knew there was
something going on with you.

What happened?

Asher uh...

He...

Didn't think
I was good enough.

He said I was a bad writer.

But that doesn't make
any sense.

I thought writing
this article

And exposing the hockey team
would help me get over it,

But it didn't,
I feel worse.

What can I do?

You can't do anything.

No one can.

(Bell rings)

I have math.
