>> Do you know them?
[ Background Conversations ]
Hey, do you know her?
>> Yeah, that's Rachel.
>> You might want to check on her.
She looks out of it.
>> Oh, okay.
Hey, girl, how's it going?
>> Yeah. I'm having a really good time.
This is Corey.
He's in my study group.
We're good. >> Hey.
>> I'm going to get you some water.
Hey, guys, look at Rachel.
She's wasted.
I don't think she knows what she's doing.
>> She looks blackout right now.
>> Yeah, I saw them doing shots earlier.
>> Maybe she wants to hook up with him.
I've heard her mention him before.
>> He is cute.
>> Maybe she does, but she's too drunk to know what's going on.
>> I think he knows it.
[ Background Conversations ]
>> We can't let them go upstairs.
>> Why don't we take her to the bathroom?
>> We should distract him. Pong?
>> Rachel, we have to tell you something.
Come to the bathroom with us.
>> Hey, Corey.
Come play some pong with us.
We need you on our team, bro.
[ Background Conversations ]
[ Music ]
>> This is taking forever.
>> It'll be worth it.
These guys always throw good parties.
>> Thanks for getting me to come out tonight.
>> Of course. Glad you could make it.
You're really going to like Dave.
[ Music ]
>> Hold on.
>> Wait for Keisha.
>> What's going on?
>> She can't come in.
>> Why?
>> Sorry, we're full.
[ Music ]
>> Seriously?
>> Wait, is he not letting her in because she's black?
>> Are you kidding me?
>> Look, if you guys want to go in, go ahead.
>> No, we don't want to be here without you.
Come on. Let's go someplace else.
>> Hey, maybe we should tell somebody about this.
>> I think we should tell everybody about this.
Asshole.
>> What just happened?
[ Music ]
>> I can't believe this is on the test.
He didn't even cover this in class.
>> He did cover it in class.
You fell asleep, remember?
You were drooling on your shirt there, and I woke you up.
>> Whatever.
>> We're running out of time.
Let's make the most of it.
[ Phone Vibrating ]
[ Music ]
>> It looks like you're on your own.
I need a white T-shirt.
Shit, where's my shirt?
>> Dude.
It's right there.
What about the test?
It's first thing in the morning, and we --
I can't believe they keep making you do this in the middle of the week.
>> Look, you know I can't talk about it.
I know that you didn't have to go through this, but --
I got to go.
[ Music ]
>> I'm sorry, dude.
Go back to sleep.
>> You okay?
What did they make you do this time?
Look at you. You can't keep going like this.
>> They keep telling me it's almost over.
I don't know.
I don't want to get anybody in trouble.
I can't talk about it.
>> You don't need to talk about it.
I can see what's going on.
I'm sure you're not the only one who hates this.
I know you don't want to get anybody in trouble,
but you're falling asleep during the day, missing classes.
This is messed up.
Don't tell me you need to do this to bond with them.
>> I just want it to stop.
>> Okay.
[ Typing Sounds ]
>> That's the worst.
What do you think you're going to do?
>> I don't know what I'm going to do.
I thought I knew what I was doing, but clearly I don't, and I'm questioning everything now,
and I don't even know if I should be here.
>> Of course you should be there.
Calm down.
>> I can't calm down.
You have no idea what it's like here.
You're not helping. I have to go.
>> Hey. Sorry if this is awkward.
I know we don't really know each other, but I couldn't help but overhear.
Are you okay?
>> I'm having a really shitty week.
>> I've been there.
I mean, I, we've all been there.
>> Clearly, Professor Lawrence thinks I'm an idiot.
>> I've had him.
He is such a hard ass.
Don't take it personally.
>> It is personal.
He hates everything I've done.
I have to start all over, and there's no time.
I'm screwed.
>> Yeah, sounds like it.
No, no, no, no, no.
I mean, that sucks, but reworking it is all part of the process, right?
As frustrating and shitty as it is.
>> There's not enough time.
I have six other things I need to get done.
I've been stressed out for so long, I don't even remember what it feels like to relax.
>> That's a lot.
It sounds like you've been dealing with this for a long time.
Hey, I don't know what's best for you, but do you think it might be helpful to talk
to somebody on campus like an advisor or a counselor?
>> No, I don't think so.
I'm not even sure I should be in this program any more.
>> Remember, you got into this program.
You deserve to be here.
Look, some semesters are harder than others.
It doesn't mean you don't belong here.
Have you tried talking to Lawrence?
>> No matter what he tells me, there's not enough time to fix it.
I have so much going on, and I can't manage it all.
I don't even know where to start.
>> Sometimes it helps just to deal with one thing at a time.
Maybe just focus on this right now.
Look, it's not like I'm the best student in the world,
and I'm not trying to tell you what to do.
I know that when you're so overwhelmed, it's hard to know what to do.
There are people in your program who can help you with writing or time management.
>> I don't want them to know I'm having such a hard time.
>> Yeah, I get that.
Let me let you in on a little secret.
Lots of people get help.
When I was feeling overwhelmed, I went to my program, and they helped me get back on track.
>> I don't know.
>> One thing I've learned is that it's been a big help for me
just recognizing when you need a little help.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
You'll get through this.
>> So I think really the best way for me to explain this is to do a demonstration.
In the name of efficiency, Caroline, you've got this already, so why don't you hang back
and clean up the lab area so that when we get back, we can all get started right away?
Is that okay?
Thanks, you're the best.
Okay, guys.
Come with me.
>> You know what? I'm going to stay back too.
It'll be faster that way.
>> Yeah, me too.
We'll catch up in a minute.
>> It's too bad she has to cover all that up with a lab coat.
[ Laughter ]
>> Seriously?
>> I can't believe he just said that.
Man, he is such an asshole.
>> It's not okay.
He keeps saying stuff like that, and it's just not okay.
>> I know.
A couple weeks ago at the conference,
he told me that my glasses made me look sexy and intelligent.
It made me feel really uncomfortable.
>> Yeah, this postdoc is out of line.
>> He's always asking you to stay back and clean up for everybody.
>> Yeah, exactly.
It's frustrating not being able to see the demonstrations.
It definitely puts me at a disadvantage.
>> And it's unfair.
Hey, we want to help.
>> Yeah. Maybe we could talk to Dr. Singh together.
>> What if that makes things worse?
>> Well, it's been going on for long enough now.
It won't change unless we actually do something.
>> What would Dr. Singh even do?
>> Well, he could talk to Nick.
He could tell him to stop. He is his boss.
>> Thanks.
I'll think about it.
>> Whatever you decide, we've got your back.
>> Yeah.
[ Background Conversations ]
>> Hey, I got you your favorite.
>> Oh, thanks.
You're the best.
>> It's been forever.
I'm glad we're finally getting together.
>> Sorry, I've just been so busy.
Eric has practice three nights a week, and he's been really stressed.
I've been helping him study, and we just started going to the gym together.
He's helping me lose a few pounds before spring break.
>> Wow. Sounds like Eric's busy.
How are you doing?
>> I'm fine.
Good.
[ Phone Vibrating ]
>> It's so good to see you.
Everyone's been wondering where you've been.
>> Eric's got a lot going on.
He needs me.
>> So you're still talking about Eric.
I want to know how you're doing. [ Phone Vibrating ]
>> Sorry, I have to answer this.
>> Is that Eric?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Does he always text you this often?
>> Yeah. He just likes to check in on me.
>> You've gotten like three texts from him in the last two minutes.
Is everything okay?
Is this still a good time to talk?
>> Yeah, sorry.
He's just being annoying.
He just gets a little jealous sometimes.
You know how it is.
I'm sure Nate likes to know where you are during the day.
>> Actually, no.
Sure, we check in sometimes, but we both have our own stuff going on during the day.
[ Phone Vibrating ]
Ever since you started dating Eric, you haven't been around much.
It seems like he's controlling what you do.
Well, even now, we can't talk because he's texting you every three seconds.
>> It's not a big deal.
He just really loves me.
>> But does he trust you?
It doesn't seem like it.
>> He's just being protective of me.
[ Phone vibrating ]
>> I'm sorry, but it seems like way more than that.
This is manipulative.
It's not healthy.
You can't even have a cup of coffee with your friend.
Look, we all really miss you and we're worried about you.
Something just doesn't feel right.
[ Phone vibrating ]
>> I'm fine.
Why won't you believe me?
[ Phone vibrating ] I love him.
This is a big deal for me.
I can't believe you're not being supportive.
Carlos, I'm sorry.
I have to go.
>> What? We've been here for five minutes, and you're leaving already?
>> I know. Look, I have to go.
I'm sorry.
>> Look, believe me or don't, but I think you should talk to someone about this.
There are people on campus who can help you.
I'm worried.
Please consider talking to someone.
You know I'm always here for you.
[ Phone vibrating ]
>> I have to go.
>> Okay.
>> Hey.
>> Hi. It's nice to see you.
>> Can I sit for a second?
>> Sure.
>> So I know we haven't talked in a while, but I've been thinking about what you said.
>> Oh, yeah?
>> Things have gotten really bad with Eric.
I think you're right, and I'm going to talk to somebody on Tuesday.
>> Good. That's good.
>> I was wondering, would you be willing to go with me?
>> Of course I'll go with you.
>> Thanks.
It's been really hard.
>> I know it has.
[ Background Conversations ]
>> Dude. >> Oh, man.
I'm sorry.
Come here, man.
I love you.
>> Oh, man.
Looks like you had an early start.
>> Who wants to do shots?
>> I do!
>> Woo!
[ Background Conversations ]
[ Music ]
>> Hey, Greg.
Let's chill for a minute.
Dude, have some water.
>> No, I don't want any water.
Hey, man. I feel great.
I feel fine.
I'm fine. How, uh, how are you?
[ Music ]
>> Dude? Greg!
>> Just prop him up and let him sleep it off.
>> I don't think that's a good idea.
He's passed out.
He drank like half a bottle of vodka before we got here.
I think we need to call for help.
>> Prop him up on his side.
We don't want to get anyone in trouble, and everyone will be pissed.
>> Look, I'm freaking shit-faced too and even I know he looks like a freaking ghost.
He hasn't stopped doing shots since we got here, and now look at him.
>> He's totally fucked up.
This is serious.
>> He'll be pissed.
He'll be pissed if we call.
>> Look, what's worse -- making the call and pissing him off
or not making the call and something bad happens?
>> It's the right thing, guys, and I'd do it, but I'm too wasted.
Jordan, you do it.
>> Oh, shit.
All right, but if he's pissed, I'm blaming you.
[ Music ]
>> 9-1-1. What is the emergency?
>> I think this is an emergency.
>> Okay, sir. What is your emergency?
>> I don't know, but my friend is, he's pretty drunk.
>> Can you tell me, is your friend responsive?
>> Well, actually, he's passed out.
He won't wake up.
I'm not sure, but we think he needs help.
>> Okay, we'll send an emergency team immediately to your location.
Tell me your address.
[ Emergency Sirens ]
[ Birds Chirping ]
>> Hey, man. I'm sorry.
I just--
>> No, I know.
That's okay.
You did the right thing.
It was pretty bad.
Don't worry about it.
>> I'm glad you're okay.
>> I got to go to class.
>> Yeah, I'll see you later.
>> Yeah.
