- (Mikaela) Previously on Life is Strange.
- Oh! Whoa. Oh, we dead.
She-- oh, nightmare.
So are we gonna-- she-- (gasping) yep.
We're gonna back to the butterfly photo,
and then we're gonna save-- (grumbling)
- Butterfly Effect. - (Rae and Mikaela) Oh!
- Hammer it! (glass shattering)
(fire bell wailing) - (Nathan) No way!
- Report him. - He's not gonna know, though.
- Because he could just shoot someone later on, Seth.
- He doesn't believe us.
- We saw something and we said something.
- (Mikaela) This time on Life is Strange.
You know, in a real life situation, I would say something.
You know? - I mean, I would too.
- If we didn't say something, and someone got killed--
- I'd feel so guilty. I'd feel awful.
He was saying-- he was like, "Oh, I'm gonna bomb the school.
What do I have to lose?"
It's probably good that we reported it.
- (principal over PA) Prescott please come...
- Okay, so I guess they are. Okay, that's good.
That's good. - I'm telling you,
blue-haired girl's gonna die! - Missing person.
- There's Ms. Grant. - Should we talk to her?
- Yeah.
- (Max) Hi, Ms. Grant.
- (Ms. Grant) Excuse me, Max?
But would you do Ms. Grant a favor and hear me out?
- Sure.
- (Max) Sure, I always have time for you.
- "Oh, sure, I always have time for you.
What's the petition?"
- (Ms. Grant) David Madsen, our chief of security,
wants to put surveillance cameras all around the campus.
Halls, classrooms, gym, dorm rooms, etc.
- I thought all schools had security cameras.
- (Ms. Grant) ...not a high security penitentiary.
- Um-- - Oh.
- It could've helped Rachel.
- But Rachel's the girl that went missing.
- Yeah. - Oh, okay.
I thought it was the blue-haired girl in that one.
- I think we should have surveillance cameras.
- "But David Madsen"? What does that mean?
- Because we don't like the security guard
because he was like, "Get outta here, rar!"
- So it could have helped Rachel?
- You know, let's make a bad choice.
We can rewind. - That's crazy.
Let's just do "David Madsen." I think that's the neutral--
- Ah-ha! - That's the neutral one.
- (Max) David Madsen doesn't need another excuse
to harass students here. - Ooh!
- (Ms. Grant) Max, this isn't about personalities.
- Oh, she's mad. (laughing)
I mean, I don't see butterflies, so that's not going
to affect our decision in the future.
- (Ms. Grant) Blackwell Academy has a noble heritage,
from the Native Americans who founded this land,
to the pioneers who shared it in peace,
not fear and violence.
- You know what? That's neutral.
- Yeah?
- That's a smart ass answer, like-- - (sassily) "You know a lot."
I don't know. - What about the Native Americans?
What about them? Let's talk about that.
- Native Americans. - (Seth mumbling)
About her powers or something?
- (Ms. Grant) The tribes who were here first,
who welcomed the settlers.
- Okay, yes, so she's not as mad anymore.
- (Ms. Grant) ...a mutual symbiosis and thrived.
- She's got a peace sign necklace on.
She's ready for change.
- (Ms. Grant) ...sign the petition to keep our campus
from going back to 1984?
- Sign? - (sighing)
- Yeah, just do it. - Okay, let's sign it.
- She's our teacher.
- We're going to get in trouble for something later.
- "But not pure surveillance."
Yeah, so that's a nice neutral--
(chuckling) "You're my favorite new student
at Blackwell for a good reason." - Oh, it will have consequences.
But that was the neutral one. - (gasping)
Okay, but since we reported him, and we signed it,
if something does go down and they have cameras up,
then maybe no one dies or goes missing.
- All right, okay, are consequences always bad though?
- No.
- Could there be good consequences? - Yeah.
- Okay. - These are just--
- All right, let's go. This is fine.
- Oh! How do I check--?
- (Max) I better read Warren's text before he blows...
- Oh, it's that guy.
- How do I read a text?
"Hi Max, can you get my flash drive?
I need some info and space.
Hello?"
- Okay, so we gotta go-- - "Sorry, running late.
Insane day. I'll meet you in the lot.
Looking cool. You'll see.
My camera will be ready. See you shortly.
I hope so."
- Press back now.
- (Max) Okay, I better get to my dorm and grab that flash drive.
- The dorms. Where are the dorms?
Okay, that's the school. - Um...
- Over there? - Probably that way.
- This is Academy.
Maybe it's just down--
- I like how this girl's laying in the grass.
Is this like Zoey 101?
- Well, yeah, it's like a boarding school.
- Oh, okay. - Oh.
The dorms look like they're down there.
Oh, yeah-- - Uh, yeah.
- (teen) Come on, Logan! Bring it, brah!
- "Brah." - Oh my--
- Uh-oh, we're gonna have a situation.
Are those the two jerk jocks? - Yeah.
That were bullying that kid?
I think so.
- I don't want any trouble, man.
- (Max) ...and return Warren's flash drive.
- Oh, look at these cool kids hanging out.
- I don't know where our dorm is.
- Look at all these butterflies. - Is it through there?
- Probably. - (groaning) Victoria.
Speak.
- (Victoria) Oh look, it's Max Caulfield,
the selfie ho of Blackwell.
What a lame gimmick.
Even Mark-- Mr. Jefferson-- - "Waif hipster bullshit."
- She's circling her! She's like a hawk.
- (Victoria) You could barely even say that.
I guess you got your meds filled. - (friend jeering)
- I thought we were gonna tell her to move out of the way.
- (Victoria) ...I guess you have to find another way into the dorm.
- Honestly, I would just walk on her to get in.
- Yeah, we ain't moving.
- (Victoria) Oh wait, hold that pose.
- Oh my gosh, she's going to take a picture of her.
- (Victoria) So original. - (mocking) "So original."
- (Victoria) Don't worry, Max, I'll put a vintage filter
on it right before I post it all over social medias.
Now, why don't you go [bleep] your selfie?
- (gasping)
- (Max) Oh yes, Victoria, I'll get your boney ass out of my way.
- (gasping) Yes! Fight her.
Oh. (laughing)
- (Max) That's the first and last time I expect to hear that.
- Can we collapse the scaffolding on top of her or--?
- Stop! - (giggling)
- Um, okay, so I saw this turn on, so we're gonna interact with it.
- (Max) Okay, now where exactly is the sprinkler valve?
- So... we are gonna spray this girl. - Yeah.
- "Indians go home"? That's so mean.
- Oh. All right. - Is that it?
- That's probably an open door. - You think?
- Yeah.
- The water pump. - Use.
(ladder creaking) - Uh-oh.
- Oh, he disappeared! - (Victoria) What the hell?
Are you kidding? Look at this.
- (friend) Chill, Victoria, it's just water.
- (Victoria) Yeah, water on my cashmere!
- (mocking) "On my cashmere!"
- (Victoria) ...[bleep] outfit cost? - (friend) You look great.
- (Victoria) I can't even chill on the steps.
- (mocking) "Can't even chill on the steps."
- Yeah.
- (Max) Damn, I missed something. I better rewind.
- What? - The paint.
Okay, so there's the paint, so obviously we need to--
- She's about to join the Blue Man Group,
let me tell you.
- Yeah, because they're still in front of the steps,
so the sprinklers were just not enough,
so we have to somehow--
- (Max) There's only one way around this.
- Oh, the guy's back.
- Do I go all the way back to that first circle?
- Yeah.
- Dude, it's vibrating. There.
Okay, so... how do we--?
I'm confused.
So the paint is over there. - Oh my god.
- I wonder if you went back all the way.
- All the way is back when I think we talked to them,
but I don't think-- I think we can just stop here,
but how do we get--?
Hmmm.
- Uh, it might have been on the ground before
because-- - Oh!
- You're right.
There-- yep, you're right.
- This guy's so slow on the ladder. - (laughing)
So we rewinded.
- See, look, she's having headaches or whatever.
- Bucket? - "Tamper."
- What?
- (Max) Okay, let's see if this works.
- Okay, she tampered with it, whatever that means.
Better wait for Samuel to get that bucket up there.
♪ Do do do do do do do ♪ - And use.
There we go. - (girls squealing)
- (Victoria) What the hell? - Okay.
- (Victoria) Are you kidding? Look at this!
- (friend) Chill, Victoria, it's just water.
- (mocking) "It's just water."
- And then the paint drops on them.
- (Victoria) Do you know how much this [bleep] outfit cost?
- (friend) You look... great.
- (Victoria) I can't even chill on the steps.
- Is it gonna work? - I think so.
- Yes. Yep, there we go.
- Is there a hammer in there? - It's a paint brush.
- Oh, okay, I was like--
- How did we tamper with it? - It's perfect.
Yes. Yes. Oh! - (Victoria squealing)
No way! - They loosened the thing.
- (friend) You okay, Victoria?
- (painter) Ol' Samuel is sorry.
Wet paint is not good for hair, nope.
- I feel bad for him though, because what if he
gets in trouble for it? - I think it's fine.
- (friend) Hold on, hold on, we'll get some towels.
We'll be right back.
- (Victoria) So move your ass, before I dry!
- (Max) It worked!
Don't mess with Max, bitches. - (snickering)
- Are they still sitting on the steps though?
- She's there, but I think she's beaten down,
so we may pass.
Should we talk to her? - Yeah.
- (Max) Uh, hey, Victoria.
- (Victoria) What do you want, Max?
- We should comfort her. - Comfort.
Take the high road. - Oh my god!
No, I want to be petty! (laughing)
- But what if this helps us in the future?
- We gotta get in the dorm, okay?
- She was mean to us.
- But she'll see this as an act of kindness.
Mikaela's like, "I wanna be a bitch,"
but I feel like gameplay wise, we should be--
- Fine. Okay, let's comfort her. - She could help us.
- Just saying, personally, we were just super petty.
- (Max) That's an awesome cashmere coat.
- 'Cause that'll make her feel like shit
for treating us like shit, and then we're being nice.
- [Inaudible] does do that sometimes.
- It'll-- we're nice.
- I don't need a life lesson, Rae, okay?
- (Victoria) I do have some talent.
Mr. Jefferson told me.
- (Max) I've seen your pictures.
You have a great eye, Richard Avedon-esque.
- So she's comforting her.
- (Victoria) He's one of my heroes.
Thanks, Max. - See, she's human.
She'll feel like a piece of shit.
But indirectly, we're getting back at her, you know?
We're also taking the high road in the game.
- We'll see. We'll see.
- (Victoria) You deserve a better shot.
- Oh, see, now she's not gonna post that-- yep, yep.
- (Max) That was mean, but pretty funny.
- (Victoria) Just one of those days, you know?
- (Max) I know exactly what you mean...
- I hope-- yep.
Maybe she'll be nice to us now. - (Victoria) Au revoir.
- We don't need to rub it into her face.
- If we were mean-- now we could have got in.
What are we getting again?
Oh, yeah, a flash drive or something.
- For the eager guy.
♪ (indie music) ♪ - Oh, music again.
"Taylor is a slave."
- "Redrum." - Redrum! (tsking)
- Ha!
- That nice Stephen King reference.
- (friend) Victoria is going to be pissed--
- (spluttering) - (laughter)
She said, "Move, bitch!"
- She kind of reminds me of Taylor Swift.
- Oh my god.
- Max's room. - Okay, cool.
- Who's Max again? - We're Max.
- Right. - Ah!
Okay, I was like...
- I forgot that our name was Max.
(door closing) - Oh, she plays guitar.
- Oh, this is such a cute room.
- (Max) ...my favorite cocoon.
- Dorm rooms-- - They get their own?
- They do not look like this.
I was going to go to a boarding school this year
in Michigan.
Sticky note. Look.
- (Max) Looks like Dana left me a li'l post-it note.
- Oh.
"Hey girl, I borrowed your drive so I can watch some Flix
while I study.
If you--"
(giggling) "While I study."
"If you need it back, just track me down in my room.
XOXO, Dana."
So we have to go get the flash drive from Dana.
- So we'll go to her room.
- Are we gonna look at any of this stuff?
- Um-- - Eh, I think we're fine.
- Maybe the laptop. - Yeah?
- Plant. (laughing) We're fine.
- Use.
- (Max) I am so addicted to this site.
- (laughing)
- (Max) Look at these vintage beauties.
Warren makes me laugh.
It's nice to feel like I already made a real friend here.
- That's the guy that keeps texting her over and over?
- But she's saying, "Oh, we're good friends,"
but she doesn't respond to him ever.
- What kind of good friend is that? - Okay, back.
- All right, let's go track down what's-her-face.
- Let's see if there's anything in here that we need
in the drawer.
Open, what's in here?
- (Max sighing) Max and Chloe.
Best Friends Forever.
Who even says that anymore?
- So angsty. - Are they sisters?
- They look like sisters.
- (Max) The longer I wait, the worse it'll be.
- Okay, then who's Max and who's Chloe?
- That's Max. That's Chloe.
- Is it? - Yeah.
- With the short hair. - Ah.
- Oh! What about this?
- (Max) "The Max Caulfield Photo Memorial Wall."
- Notes. Oh, hello.
- (Max) Warren even left me a little message
with his flash drive. He's such a goofball.
- She sounds like she likes him-- - She doesn't reply to him.
- We're just going-- - Oh, mirror selfie.
(Polaroid shutter snapping)
- And this is why she's doing terrible in photography.
- (laughing)
- Just let her experiment.
You can't get better without doing things.
- Oh, cookies!
- Are we gonna eat a cookie?
- (Max) I love that Mom sent me a fat--
- "Fat box." - Oops. Oops.
- (Max) It's hard to believe I'm 18 now.
I'm lucky my parents enabled my photo habit into adulthood.
- All right, nothing.
- Eh, just leave.
Let's go get what's-her-face.
- We're going into Dana's room. - (gasping)
- (girl) So tell me the truth, or rot in there!
- A girl fight.
She's not going to let us in!
- (Max) Welcome to "The Real Drama Queens of Blackwell."
- Why is there toilet paper on the ground?
- (Max) Looks like nobody won this TP war.
There's nothing left but ghosts.
Hey, Juliet, is everything cool? (doorknob rattling)
- (Juliet) Oh yes, Max.
I've locked Dana in the room because we're "cool."
- "What'd she do?" - Yeah.
- (Max) What did she do?
- (Juliet) What didn't she do?
Dana's been sexting with my boyfriend. - (gasping)
- Oh! - (Max) Ouch.
How'd you find out?
- (Juliet) Uh, why do you care?
Why are you even asking me? - (imitating cat yowling)
- (Juliet) You never talk, just zone out with your camera.
- (Max) That's why I'm talking to you now.
- (Juliet) What's my last name? - (snorting)
- "Olson."
- I feel like "Mason" sounds good, you know?
- I was just thinking that. - Let's go with "Mason."
- (Max) Uh... Juliet Mason.
- (Juliet) That was truly sad.
Thanks for your concern-- - I can't go back.
- Watson.
- Yeah, I almost picked Watson because Emma Watson.
- Go back in time and tell her her last name
because we need her to like us so we can get into the dorm room
and get the flash drive from Dana.
- (Juliet) Answer, you wuss!
- (Max) Hey, Juliet, is everything cool?
- (Juliet) Oh yes, Max, I've locked Dana in the room
because we're "cool." - Just skip it.
- Should we do that one or-- - Yeah, just pick that one.
It's underlined. You might as well.
- (Max) Juliet Watson, you be nice!
- (Juliet) I'm flattered.
I didn't even think you knew my name at all.
(pounding at door) - (Max) Uh, of course I do.
- (Juliet) I locked Dana in because she was sexting Zach,
my boyfriend.
Unbelievable.
- "How do you know?"
- Because would Dana do that? - Yeah, that's like--
- It's like-- you know, she's pissed at Dana.
- (Max) How do you know?
- (Juliet) Victoria Chase. You know her.
- Oh, Victoria!
- (Max) But why would Dana go after your boyfriend?
- (Juliet) According to Victoria, Dana would do anything--
- But did she see the sext?
If she didn't, there's no-- - She's just listening to Victoria.
- If someone told me that someone sexted my boyfriend,
I'd be like, "Show me the proof" or I wouldn't believe it.
You know, you're just trying to stir up shit.
- (Juliet) Straight to Hell.
- (Dana) Max, I swear I didn't do ANYTHING!
But I bet Victoria did!
I know the proof is in her room.
- Oh my god, so we have to go to her room?
- We're gonna break into her room. - Oh my god.
- (Juliet) Answer, you wuss!
- The girls came out of-- yeah, there you go.
(door creaking)
- Yo, what if she catches us sneaking around?
- We'll just rewind.
- Why is her door the only one that's open?
- 'Cause those girls ran in here, trying to grab--
- Oh.
- (Max) Boom.
This is the e-mail I need to show Juliet.
Now I have to print this fast and get--
- Oh my god.
- "Taylor, so sad to inform you that I totally punked Juliet
and Dana just now.
All I had to do was mention to Juliet that I saw a nasty sext
from Dana on Zach's phone.
'Dumb azz' believed me and so I expect there to be
a dorm rampage soon.
Juliet deserves this for slutting Zach away from me.
As for Dana, who gives a shit?
Get out your popcorn, XX, Victoria Chase."
- This girl. - So Gossip Girl-y.
How do I print something? Oh, there.
We're totally gonna get caught. - Yeah, we are.
(printer printing) Go! Go!
Go get it. Go get it. Oh, it's over there.
Take.
- Do you think this is--?
- (Max) This better convince Juliet that Dana is innocent.
- I kind of want to snoop.
- No, I'd get out of there.
Oh, I just feel like--
- Man, we homies with Victoria now, though.
- Yeah, that's not our business. (laughing)
- She does have beef with us. - No, just Dana.
(dialing cellphone) - (laughing) Just Dana!
- (Max) Juliet, read this.
- (Juliet) Of course.
- Now she's gonna have to apologize.
- So why are they roommates? - (Juliet) I'm sorry, Dana.
- But she doesn't have a roommate? - (Dana) You are.
And I hope so.
You really think I'd mess around with Zachary?
- I like her little necklace.
- (Juliet) But I get stupid jealous.
I owe you dinner. Still love me?
- (Dana) And you do my laundry.
Thanks, Max.
You're like the Blackwell Ninja.
Now let's see what Zach has to say about Victoria.
- (Dana) You set me free. Thank you.
- Maybe Zach's cheating on her with Victoria.
I like how she just knows we're there for the flash drive.
Why does everyone also look like in high school
and she looks like she's 12 years old.
- Yeah, she's, like, in the 4th grade.
- Where is the flash drive? - On her desk.
- There it is. - Take.
- (Max) Must protect my precious, so Max never has to--
- Oh my gosh, this is cringe.
- Oh god. She's so embarrassing.
- I feel like she's one of those girls that has a Tumblr blog
and she's like, "I'm not like other girls."
- You know, most of the time, main characters are pretty likeable,
but I really dislike this girl. - I don't hate her.
- I think she's so annoying.
- We're Mean Girls. - (Dana) Seriously, thanks again.
I can't believe Juliet locked me--
- Okay, so I guess they don't have roommates.
- (Dana) Real mature.
- "Victoria's not ni--" I think we should bag on Victoria,
not Juliet. - Uh...
- Yeah, say Victoria.
- Because Juliet's, like-- - Yeah, she's fine.
She was just reacting from what she heard.
- If we say Juliet was just mad, we're not necessarily like,
"Oh, Juliet's a bad person."
We're just saying, "Oh, yeah, she gets a little mad here and there,"
but if we're like, "Victoria's not a nice person!"
That's a statement right there.
- She's a nice friend, so it's like-- would she--
she wouldn't tell on us, I don't think.
- I feel like we both are just-- - (laughing) Because we're girls.
- We're bullying Seth, like, "No!
We're doing our decision, not yours!"
- You don't understand, Seth.
- This kind of seems like a lose-lose situation either way.
- Yeah. - Victoria?
- We can always rewind.
- (Max) Victoria is not nice.
I don't get it. She has everything.
And to pull that prank on a friend.
- (Dana) Just because they're in the Vortex Club
doesn't mean they're BFFs.
I'm in it and Victoria creeps me out.
- Yeah, so she's not gonna-- yeah.
- (Dana) Though Warren obviously likes hanging with you.
- (Rae and Mikaela) "What do you mean?"
- You think he likes me? (giggling)
- (Dana) Oh, nothing.
When you opened the flash drive, didn't you see the special folder
called "Max"? - Oh my god.
- (Max) Yeah, okay. I gotcha.
- So now we have more info. - (gasping)
- So are we--? Let's plug in the flash drive.
- Flash drive, yeah. I want to see.
- (Max) I better make sure everything is still in there.
I think Warren forgot to hide the Party Buster folder.
- I like the little face next to Flash Drive W.
- (Max) I have my self-respect.
- Okay, well, I guess-- all right.
- Can we not--? - I guess we can't look at "Max."
- Can we not look at "Max"? Maybe not.
- Let's go to our room really fast and...
- Let's just check it out.
- ...see if we can look at the flash drive.
There's so-- they're such nice rooms.
- Laptop flash drive.
- (Max) I better make sure everything is still in there.
I think Warren forgot to hide the Party Buster--
- Okay, so I guess we just can't look at the "Max" folder.
- (Max) I have my self-respect.
- Wait, okay, Victoria's room, I think we can still enter.
Can we snoop?
I don't think we're gonna get caught.
- I mean, honestly, there's probably nothing interesting in here,
to be honest. - You don't think so?
- Oh! She has the missing person poster in here.
Okay, that's a little interesting.
All right, so we obviously know she's a murderer.
- (scoffing) She did it.
- You think she did it? - I think she's a murderer.
