01x04 - Hard to get

[bunniefuu]

Somebody is sabotaging us.

Who would do that?

Do you think this person

changed the scripts too?

And those strange posts.

What?

You work behind the scenes.

Says Mr. Perfect.

Who wants to get the perfect grades.

Maybe you think

3,000 points are more important.

Or it's Morris himself?

What? Why me?

You want to be in the musical,

but you're too shy.

So you're sabotaging it.

Or you find tutoring

and high grades a bit too important.

Wait. Let's stop accusing each other.

Okay, who has a motive?

Who is angry or jealous?

Sterre. Do you think she's behind it?

-Sterre would never do that.

-She was very hurt.

If Sterre were to do this,

she would at least use the color pink.

Guys, Agnes is up to something.

-What's going on?

-There's a saboteur among us.

They are working on Agnes' behalf.

I saw her screen.

SCRIPTS DISTRIBUTED

If Agnes can't stop us,

she'll sabotage us.

By turning someone against the group.

-What does that mean?

-Someone snitched.

Okay, stay calm. This is no time to panic.

Dear students,

since you've been studying so hard,

you will have a selection test

in exactly one hour.

Good luck.

Is it time to panic now?

-I'll never remember it all.

-It'll be fine. Do a mental sprint.

Negativity does nothing.

-I barely learned anything.

-Same.

I did warn you.

-Can you help me?

-Yes.

Juul.

Sorry for being so angry.

-I really thought you liked Jason.

-It's fine.

Wait. The smartest student

has to tutor us quickly.

Me?

Guys, I can't teach

weeks' worth of content in an hour.

But I have an idea.

Making a run for it

and never looking back?

That's a good idea.

No.

You'll be taught by the master of

Cheating?

Cheating, sneaking,

tricking, copying, deceiving.

-No wonder you have the highest grades.

-No. That was honest studying.

But as you know, I like to be defiant.

-I never noticed that.

-We have 45 minutes. How do we cheat?

Good morning. For those of you

who found the previous test easy,

this one is much tougher.

And for those who want to cheat,

good luck.

Whoever I catch will leave.

Your time starts now.

Remember what I taught you.

Make a super smart cheat sheet.

Take a water bottle

and stick it on the label.

Bad idea.

Agnes will notice that right away.

Cheating is a game of cat and mouse.

Always be one step ahead of your opponent.

So hide them well.

Cheat sheets only help a bit.

We must help each other.

The front row has an important job.

-They give the answers to the others.

-But how?

QUESTION ONE, ANSWER THREE

Hide the secret language

in natural movements.

If I catch anyone else

coughing or tapping, they're out.

And I call the most important cheat trick

the Silent Ballerina.

You have three minutes left.

-Done.

-Done.

-Done.

-Done.

Done.

-That was so exciting.

-To winning.

Usually I'm super against cheating,

but that felt so good.

Together we'll get the 3,000 points.

Guys, you did make

one random mistake, right?

Otherwise it's super noticeable.

-Jules?

-I was so focused.

I wanted a perfect grade.

So great that Agnes didn't notice.

I'd never cheated before.

Same.

Welcome to the club.

Is everything okay?

You were quieter than usual.

I can't stand dishonesty.

-I know cheating isn't nice, but

-No. I mean, someone is sabotaging us.

One of us is working with Agnes.

-It feels dangerous.

-Exactly.

Who could do that?

I heard what happened.

And I want you to know that I am angry.

And that I was quite jealous

Lisa got the part.

But I didn't do those things.

I promise.

I believe you.

-Me too.

-Okay.

We can't just accept the sabotage.

Yes. Poor Morris.

-All that work for nothing.

-You're right.

We need to find out who the mole is.

I have an idea.

Three things apply to every culprit.

Motive, opportunity, and method.

You need a motive to sabotage,

such as jealousy.

An opportunity,

such as access to the paint cans.

And a method,

such as creating chaos with fake posts.

Okay. Who is the main suspect, then?

Myself.

I am jealous

Lisa got the lead role with Jason.

Are you okay?

I have access to the paint cans.

And I've betrayed you before.

Okay. But admitting that now

makes you the least suspicious.

-That can be a trick.

-Exactly.

So we have to see everyone as a suspect.

Yes. But the chance that the saboteur

would initiate a search for the saboteur

is very slim.

Or, as you said, it is a trick.

-Very good, Sterre. Stay alert.

-Yes.

Personally, I have three suspects.

Morris. Motive, he can rap,

wants to be in the musical but can't.

So he wants to get rid of the musical.

Opportunity,

he works behind the scenes,

so he has access everywhere.

And method,

he destroys his own work

So that nobody suspects him. Smart.

He likes horror,

so he's a bit weird anyway.

Hey. I like horror too.

True. And you're also a bit weird.

-Magenta's motive.

-Wait.

She wants to develop her talent,

her intelligence.

She wants to prove

that she can get 3,000 points.

The musical stands in her way.

Opportunity, she's already

our number one prankster

so she can trick us

and knows where the paint cans are.

Method, she pits us against each other

with fake posts and destroys something

that was lovingly worked on.

Or is it Lisa?

She definitely wants the 3,000 points.

And she has an opportunity

because she has a key to the room

since it's also her study room.

Lisa has a mega crush on Jason.

The musical is a chance

for her to be close to him.

She would never give that up.

-And Jason?

-Jason has no motive.

He helps with everything.

He has no opportunity

because he's in the spotlight himself.

And he has no method because

he's just really lovely.

Take off the rose-tinted glasses.

Jason is super suspicious.

His perfection is his alibi.

Nothing applies to him.

And that makes him the number one suspect.

With you, every day is a party

A thousand butterflies in my belly

Even when you're eating jelly

-But that's not bad.

-It is.

I had something else too. Let's see.

E, C, G, yes.

What would I do if you weren't mine?

I try to find verses that actually rhyme

Want to be with you

But find nothing that rhymes with it

I play around with chords

But I'm still looking for the words

It's got no feeling.

Think about the first time you met.

Her smile and her eyes.

That's what I'm doing,

but I don't know exactly how I felt.

Okay, and what do you feel

when you think of her now?

I feel jealous because of Jason.

Julia's calling. Talk to you later.

How's it going?

I'm trying to work on the musical,

but my brain isn't cooperating.

And you?

I'm trying to write the song

about when we met.

Exciting. Can I hear it?

No, not yet. It's hard to find the words.

-What are you listening to?

-Jason's relaxation mixtape.

Okay. Does it work?

Not really.

I'm worried about tomorrow's test results.

-What if we get kicked out?

-That won't happen.

We did the test just as well as Magenta.

So it's fine.

I hope so.

I'm not on there.

Yes. I'm not on there.

I got through. How did that happen?

-Yes. I'm not on the list.

-I'm not there.

I'm not there either,

thanks to our cheat queen.

And me?

Can Julia Martens

please come to my office now?

-Julia Martens, come to my office.

-Oh no.

You're not on the list, don't worry.

You wanted to speak to me?

Julia, do you understand why I'm here?

Yes.

-I think so.

-I have a mission.

I'm here for a reason

and that reason is simple.

I have to make sure that

everyone reaches their potential.

-Okay.

-I am strict.

Even ruthless, according to some,

but in the end, I have one goal.

To make the best students even better.

Help them rise above themselves.

And reward them when they do it.

Reward them?

Your test had no mistakes.

The only one.

That's amazing.

You deserve to be rewarded.

That's why I did my best for you.

I know what you dream of.

Okay.

Music Academy New York.

What would you say

if I told you I got you an audition?

I would say I'm speechless.

Why don't you say that, then?

I'm speechless.

As a principal, I have many contacts.

A few emails,

a few phone calls, and voilà.

Seriously?

Yes, seriously.

I want you to reach

your full potential, Julia.

You earned it.

I need to think about it.

Of course, but don't take too long.

No, of course not. I won't do that.

I'll be super quick

thinking it over. Really.

Dear Jason, you don't know who I am,

but there's so much I want to tell you.

I love how you do everything so perfectly.

I have the perfect list

of things that make me happy.

When I wake up,

I put on my favorite music and sing along.

"Then I tell myself

my favorite joke in the mirror."

"It sounds crazy,

but it really makes me laugh."

I'm working on level three, in biology.

Do you have any ideas?

Those freaky skeletons

or those half-alive anatomy models.

-They are awesome.

-Good idea.

-Go to him.

-He already walked away twice.

-It's so obvious.

-Maybe he's shy.

It's Morris. From the smoothie mixdown.

Maybe he's only shy with you.

Okay, and what else?

Or moving eyes in jars, or tarantulas.

And do you know what's super freaky?

Approaching the guy you fancy.

-What?

-Snorris, it's obvious.

-You should

-Go for it.

-Then you'll fall hard.

-What do I say, then?

-Just whatever comes to mind.

-Like?

Scoring a three-pointer in basketball?

-He must have 100 other interests.

-It, Freddy Krueger, Chucky.

Talk about your favorite horror heroes.

I don't know if I can.

Viggo likes sports and fitness.

Not horror or games.

-Viggo is so

-Mysterious?

Exactly. Be mysterious.

-That always works.

-Are you sure? Mysterious?

-Hundred percent.

-It worked with Julia.

Okay, I'll just act really cool.

-Secretive.

-Secretive?

-A tad nonchalant.

-Do it. You have nothing to

-lose. Go

-for it. You have no

-choice.

-I'm going for it.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Nice to see you.

-Yes. What were you doing?

-Mysterious.

I'm

working on something special.

-Something special?

-More mysterious.

Something really special.

-Awesome.

-Be cool.

I mean

Do you want to know what it is?

Mysterious.

Maybe, or maybe not.

Okay. It's a game. A horror game.

-Awesome.

-Nonchalant.

-Okay.

-Do you want to test it sometime?

Well

Is that a yes or a no?

What do you want it to be?

I want you to date me game with me.

And now I really want

the earth to swallow me up.

Bye.

Dear anonymous, this morning

I told myself jokes in the mirror

and it worked.

"It was strange to start with,

but after a while I couldn't stop."

"I also like to play loud music

and dance like crazy."

You're the best.

-The dresses are ready.

-Yes.

My contact in Milan,

Mico "The Maestro" Mafucci, has them now

and they are being packed up

for the Netherlands as we speak.

It'll be so classy.

Julia.

Yeah. Wow! That's great, Sterre. Thanks.

-Hey, is everything okay?

-Yes, of course.

I'll tell you later.

-Ready for rehearsal?

-Yes.

Everyone, get ready for rehearsal.

And action.

-Finally, your ticket to America.

-Yes, we can go together.

And we'll write lots of songs together.

Lisa? You're doing really well,

but you could be a little less in love.

-But you were really in love then, right?

-We still are.

Yes, but back then it was different.

-More intense.

-Well

Yes, maybe be a bit more like,

"I wonder where this is going."

It was more like,

"Wow, what an adventure."

No, it was more

"Interesting, this could be something."

No, you were head over heels in love.

It was really cute.

Cute?

-Did you find me cute?

-Yes.

-I thought you saw me as cool and tough.

-Cool? No. I looked like this.

-You look at him differently than me.

-But that's what I did.

"We'll write lots of songs together."

I didn't look in love. It was like,

"You finally have your ticket to America."

-You didn't look tough. You looked cute.

-You found me cool.

Sorry, I have to go.

Okay, cute, then. But cool too, right?

Cool cute?

-I'll be back.

-Right, Juul?

Juul, what are you doing?

-I'm following Jason.

-Why?

What if I told you

he tests spy gadgets in his room?

I'd say it's one of his hobbies.

A hobby?

A very suspicious

creepy hobby?

Juul, really.

Most perfect people give me goosebumps

but Jason is okay.

I really believe that.

Everyone is a suspect, remember?

It's good that you're here. Come in.

That is very suspicious.
