00:00It's okay.
00:29Mom.
00:30See, everything's fine.
00:57Okay, stop.
00:58Stop, stop, stop.
01:00But here?
01:01Yeah.
01:05Ashley, that's a bit extreme.
01:06Mom, it's not worth the risk.
01:07Want to move?
01:27Let's drill in these cubes to make it to fly.
01:29One day, we'll run into the park.
01:31Thanks, buddy.
01:32Oh.
01:33Oh.
01:34Oh.
01:35Thanks.
01:36Maxi!
01:36Hey!
01:37Don't do that!
01:38Wait, did you say something?
01:40Maxi!
01:41Maxi!
01:42Hey!
01:43Don't do that!
01:44Wait, did you say something?
01:47Wait, did you say something?
01:48That's what I saw.
01:49Yo, where's that?
01:50What's up, man?
01:51What?
01:52How's this?
01:53What's up, man?
01:54How's this?
01:55Yeah, dude?
01:56What's up?
01:57All right, everyone, take your seats.
01:58I see we have a new student.
01:59Please, Stan, tell us your name.
02:01My name is Ashley Evans.
02:05Hopefully, you're not too far behind in the curriculum.
02:12But I'll get to you.
02:14Just have a seat there.
02:15Well, it's always nice to have some fresh blood here.
02:18Let's turn off textbooks and see how we see the people on our feet.
02:22I'm going to go to the right side.
02:25How you doing for that?
02:28Let's turn our textbooks to page 207.
02:34History is always in the making.
02:37What will your history be?
02:46Uh, nothing, what's up?
02:49Hey!
02:49Watch it!
02:52Uh, here.
02:53Thanks.
02:54Yeah, I'm Max.
02:56Ashley.
02:57What's your name's class?
02:59Uh, Spanish.
03:00Cool.
03:01I got drama.
03:02I hear there's a new teacher today.
03:09Later.
03:10Okay.
03:10Well, welcome.
03:12I'm really looking forward to hearing what you've been doing in drama.
03:16Um, so what play have you been working on this semester?
03:24Anyone?
03:25Anyone?
03:28Oh.
03:33Honey, can you hand me a tomato?
03:34Oh.
03:34So, how'd it go today?
03:45It was just school.
03:48Come on, tell me about one class.
03:50Okay.
03:53Um, history was good.
03:56Really?
03:57Teacher seems kind of eccentric.
04:00Yeah, he was.
04:01Okay, look, it's not perfect.
04:03But we're lucky.
04:04You know, it's hard to find a position in the middle of the school year.
04:07So, does that mean we're lucky that the previous drama teacher died?
04:12Lemonade from lemons.
04:13What happens.
04:26CNN live with one.
04:26I'll probably leave her next time.
04:27Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:32Bye.
04:34Bye.
04:35Bye.
04:36Bye.
04:38Bye.
04:41Bye.
04:41Bye.
04:42Bye.
04:42What's your problem?
05:05I can't believe you sent me in the back like this.
05:07I trusted you.
05:08Lisa, I didn't.
05:08I can't believe you went and did that.
05:12Hey, watch this.
05:31Hey, pick it up.
05:37Bugak!
05:40Bugak!
05:42Bugak!
05:44Hey.
05:46Gotta give him credit, you know how to make the fun.
06:14The next leader of that's, um...
06:18Gang?
06:19Yeah.
06:20You know, you got Burnside right next to him, who's 95% mass, 5% brain.
06:24Then you got Carrie, the queen bee.
06:27You got a whole hive following her all the time, you know?
06:35Anyone ever heard of chivalry?
06:37Um, like when you open the door for a girl?
06:40How would he know?
06:41It's not like any girl's gonna get that close to him anyways.
06:44Protectors of the weak and defenseless and warriors against monsters who threaten this land.
06:52Lame.
06:53You know, that's what all the wannabe knights said.
06:55They were too busy being monsters instead of protectors.
06:59Maybe.
07:00Maybe.
07:11Way to stay under the radar, Ashley.
07:13See, I tracked down this virus from my aunt's computer.
07:16Now, it's meant to intrude and collect information, you know, send it back to the sender.
07:20I don't know where the source is coming from.
07:21Check that out.
07:22Oh, that's pretty cool.
07:23Yeah.
07:25Ooh, watch it!
07:26Nick!
07:31Ooh, watch it!
07:32Nick!
07:34Careful with my laptop!
07:35Yeah, it would've fried it, right?
07:36Would you cut it out?
07:38Oh, look, Max.
07:39It's your knight in shining armor.
07:41I'm sorry, in what world is this actually cool?
07:44Didn't you push enough kids around on the playground ten years ago?
07:48Yeah.
07:49Well, later, losers.
07:52This is incomplete.
07:54Well, I don't get it.
07:56Well, maybe if you spent less time goofing off with your friends and more time actually paying attention, you'd understand.
08:01Now I want you to take it home and I want you to try again.
08:05Go on.
08:18Hey, that's mine.
08:20Hey.
08:22Here's where you're getting it wrong.
08:25That should be why.
08:27You're making the same mistake on every problem.
08:31Have you met a girl named Angie yet?
08:38Uh, no, I don't think so.
08:41Well, somebody dropped out of the play.
08:43I was thinking about using her as a replacement.
08:46Yeah? For what role?
08:48Olivia.
08:49We're doing Twelfth Night.
08:52You'd be such a great Olivia.
08:55It's not even the starring role.
08:57Mom, I don't have time in my class schedule for drama, okay?
09:02I would like to introduce our new drama teacher, Ms. Johnson.
09:10She's going to help demonstrate these traditional dances, which we will then all learn.
09:14So, with dancing, there was real communication.
09:21Dancing allowed for intimate closeness and private conversation.
09:32Okay, everyone, come on up here. Now we're all going to try it.
09:42You know, Mr. Carlisle, I can't really risk injuring myself in the off season, so...
09:51If you injure yourself doing this, then I would highly reconsider calling yourself an athlete.
09:54All right, come on guys, let's pair up.
09:57Nick and Ashley, Max and Wei, Brenna and Patrick. Come on up.
10:02Come on up.
10:06All right, everyone ready? Grab your partners like this, and follow us.
10:14Now, back in Civil War times, dancing was enjoyed by everyone.
10:17Hey, what makes you think that you know me?
10:24I don't. I know guys like you.
10:28What's that supposed to mean?
10:30Nothing. Can't you just... just dance?
10:34No. I want to know.
10:36Okay, fine. I know you lame, self-centered guys who always have to be on top.
10:40You can't go two seconds without putting someone else down. And why?
10:42Because in some perverse way, it makes you feel better.
10:46I'm not all those things.
10:48Fine. Prove me wrong.
10:51I had a kid called me.
10:53What's that supposed to mean?
10:55What's that supposed to mean?
10:56Fine.
10:57You proved me wrong.
10:59I had a kid cut himself on one of the pages of the play.
11:02Are you serious?
11:04I bled a lot for a paper cut. I had to send him to a school nurse.
11:08What is this?
11:10What?
11:11It came here?
11:12Well, I changed her address with the post office.
11:15Yeah, but Mom, they could track us here.
11:17They can't.
11:18Are you sure?
11:19They won't track us here, okay? They got what they wanted.
11:24Sweetie, it's just junk.
11:26Hey.
11:27And what?
11:28I will make this a text.
11:29Or we can't remember what they wanted to go.
11:31Let's go.
11:33Hey!
11:35Hey, Hey, Hey!
11:36Hey, hey, hey!
11:43I need this.
11:45Hey, hey, hey.
11:47Hey, hey, hey.
11:48Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
11:50Hey, hey, hey.
11:51God bless you.
12:21Hey.
12:25What, are you following me now?
12:28No.
12:29I just saw you coming back here, and I thought I'd see what you were doing.
12:33Just exploring?
12:34My old school didn't have anything like this.
12:44Why?
12:45Why what?
12:47Why are you being nice all of a sudden?
12:51Why does it matter to you now?
12:54It doesn't.
12:59Okay, um...
13:04Everyone around here knows me.
13:07But you don't.
13:10So?
13:12Well...
13:13It's like one minute you're getting all over my case, and then the next you're helping me.
13:18Am I supposed to apologize for that?
13:23No.
13:24I just...
13:25I just...
13:28I don't do it.
13:29You did what you did.
13:30Look, I helped you through math, okay?
13:32It's not that big of a deal.
13:33It is that big of a deal.
13:34I mean, I wouldn't have helped.
13:38Oh, I know.
13:39Well, that's it for today.
13:41Uh, but I do have your next assignment.
13:44Now, here's what I want you to do.
13:45I want you to pick a place that has history.
13:47Any place at all.
13:48City hall, a museum, a monument.
13:50Go there and write about it and what it means to you.
13:53Um, how long does the paper have to be?
13:55Just two or three pages.
13:56Ugh.
13:57You can make it longer.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Right.
14:00Do next week.
14:01Oh, sorry.
14:02Oh, sorry.
14:03Oh, sorry.
14:04Oh, sorry.
14:06Oh, sorry.
14:08Oh, sorry.
14:11Oh, sorry.
14:13Oh, sorry.
14:16Oh, sorry.
14:19Oh, sorry.
14:26Oh, sorry.
14:29Oh, sorry.
14:33You know Max, right?
14:34Why aren't you nicer to him?
14:36Me and Max grew up together.
14:39We're actually friends.
14:41Then he started getting into all this tech stuff,
14:43and, I don't know, that's not really how I roll.
14:45So, we drifted apart.
14:48I mean, it's like you said.
14:51People change.
14:53Yeah, but there's a difference between changing
14:56and changing for the better.
15:01Go ahead.
15:03Thanks.
15:11I could have swore my keys were in my purse.
15:16Found them.
15:20Buy the spaghetti sauce.
15:23Of course.
15:25Any special requests?
15:27Um, chips and cereal?
15:31Of course.
15:32Okay. Thanks, Mom.
15:36Hi.
15:38Hi.
15:40Um, is Ashley here?
15:46What are you doing here?
15:48Um, I was just gonna go do that history assignment. Have you started?
15:57Um, no.
15:59Well, I had a place if you wanted to go.
16:03Sounds good.
16:05Yeah, you should get out. You should get out a little bit today.
16:08Um, I'll go get my shoes.
16:16My mom's grandpa flew one of these.
16:18Yeah?
16:19Mm-hmm.
16:22Uh, B-17.
16:25Flying Fortress.
16:28Did he ever see any action?
16:31Yeah, he was, uh, he was flying over Germany when he was fired on.
16:36No way?
16:38Yeah.
16:39What did he do?
16:41Well, it tore through the whole side.
16:43Trapping one of his crew in the tail.
16:47He had five of his men bail, just in case he couldn't land the plane safely.
16:52And the rest of the men used their own parachutes to hold the tail on.
16:56Well, were they okay?
17:01Yeah, he, uh, he landed the plane safely.
17:06Well, while he was locked to the plane.
17:09I gave him a medal for it.
17:13Wow.
17:15It's a really cool story.
17:17It's not just a story.
17:21It really happened.
17:26Why did you ask me to go with you?
17:37I don't know.
17:39I just thought you might like it.
17:42I did.
17:44I'll see you at school.
17:46Yeah.
17:47Good to write your paper.
17:49I won't.
17:51Her great-grandfather saved the plane and the men in it.
17:53To me, it used to be some war that happened years ago.
17:56But to others, it's a real event.
17:59That changes your perspective.
18:01Just like seeing that B-17 change my perspective.
18:05It wasn't just a story.
18:07It was history.
18:16Well, hello.
18:18What brings you here?
18:19Just basking in a moment of triumph.
18:23One of my students is finally starting to get it.
18:27Oh? Who?
18:29Nick Thomas.
18:31Very good.
18:33What the?
18:35What is this?
18:36A fog machine.
18:37I use it in some of the plays that I do.
18:40You know, I'm just being careful, you know?
18:42What kind of mother would I be if I let my daughter go out with just anyone?
18:45And it appeared that the British were going to beat the Americans badly.
18:52The British sent their ships to cut off an escape route.
18:55All they had to do was track wisely and make them surrender.
18:59And the whole way...
19:00Look! Hey! Clumsy much?
19:15She pined and thought.
19:18And with a green and yellow melancholy, she sat.
19:21Like patience on a monument.
19:23Smiling at grief.
19:28Was not this love indeed?
19:32We men say more.
19:34Swear more.
19:36But indeed our shows are more than will.
19:40For still we prove much in our vows.
19:44But little in our love.
19:46Hey mom, I can't find the keys to the...
19:52Um...
19:54Keys to the house.
19:56Oh.
19:57We were just rehearsing a scene.
19:59Isn't Viola supposed to...
20:01Step back there at the end?
20:02Yeah, and...
20:03Orsino should probably just stay put.
20:06Yeah.
20:07I'm gonna wait...
20:09Yeah.
20:11Did you see what that Ashley girl's wearing?
20:17Blah.
20:18Yeah, and her hair.
20:19Maxie!
20:21Hey, texting your mom?
20:23Cut her out.
20:24Oh, let's buy something.
20:26That looks good.
20:28Oops. How about this one, Meg?
20:29Hey, I love to shop.
20:31Stop.
20:33I need new shoes.
20:35Pink maybe?
20:38Hey.
20:40Let him go.
20:42Hey!
20:44I didn't finish.
20:45You're done.
20:46Dude.
20:54What was that?
20:57You're freaking me out.
20:59It's nothing.
21:00Nothing?
21:01Did you see what you just did?
21:02Did you?
21:04I don't know what's going on with you, but just stop it.
21:06No.
21:10So you're gonna turn the loser on me?
21:12Why do you care?
21:14I don't.
21:15I'm not hanging around for this new Nick.
21:18We're through.
21:20Have fun crying yourself to sleep at night.
21:24I think I'll be okay.
21:25Okay.
21:28How's Ashley handling the move?
21:31As well as can be expected.
21:34About five months ago, she had a ton of friends.
21:39She's a great student.
21:40Well, as great as any teenage girl can be who spends more time on the phone than doing homework.
21:46But, um, suddenly, I mean completely out of the blue, everybody started to hate her.
21:55She had no idea why so many of her friends were pulling away and...
22:02Well, anyway, we found this, um, profile online.
22:06It was linked to all of her friends, everyone from her school.
22:12Someone was pretending to be her.
22:15And they were saying all these horrible things about everybody else.
22:18And, of course, everybody thought it was Ashley.
22:21Well, who was it?
22:23Two of my students.
22:25Two girls.
22:27Were they stopped?
22:29No.
22:32Even some of the adults started hearing what Ashley was supposedly saying.
22:36Absolutely unacceptable.
22:37She should be suspended if I had any say.
22:40What kind of daughter have you raised?
22:42Well, you should be ashamed of yourself and her.
22:44And her.
22:47Lies spread faster than truth.
22:50I mean, in everyone's mind, Ashley was guilty.
22:51The truth didn't matter.
22:53The kids started shunning her at school.
22:56Then attacking her.
22:58I thought it was being sat on line by the other girls.
23:00There was just so much hate.
23:03How long did this go on for?
23:05Two months.
23:07What did the attorney say?
23:09It wasn't good.
23:11This is gonna blow over, okay?
23:12No, Mom, wake up.
23:13This isn't gonna blow over.
23:14No, Mom, wake up.
23:15This isn't gonna blow over.
23:17Ashley!
23:21Ashley begged me to move.
23:25We left in the middle of the night two days later.
23:28Julie, I'm so sorry.
23:31Don't be.
23:33Oh, not for me anyway.
23:35Is there anything I can do to help her?
23:38Just be patient with her.
23:39She's a good kid.
23:42Just gonna take a little while for her to open back up.
23:47Thanks for your help.
23:49Thanks for the pizza.
23:51Hey, um...
23:53Why'd those girls do it?
23:56Ashley was cast as the lead in a play.
23:59She used to love theater.
24:00I even had two other faculty members decide on who to cast just to make sure I wasn't inadvertently giving her special treatment.
24:07But...
24:09One of those girls really wanted the part.
24:11Wait a minute.
24:13All of it because of that?
24:15Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
24:19And we're talking about teenage girls.
24:20Hey.
24:21Hi.
24:22Um...
24:23What are you doing?
24:25Uh...
24:26Just studying.
24:28Oh, would you like to take a break?
24:30Uh...
24:32Sure.
24:34You ready for this?
24:35Yeah, I guess so.
24:37You're not scared of heights or anything, are you?
24:39No.
24:41Okay.
24:42So, what you're gonna want to do is use these rips and, well, just climb with your legs and try not to fall.
24:48Okay, this isn't rocket science.
24:50Should be able to manage.
24:52Wanna race?
24:54Oh yeah!
24:55Okay, you're pretty good at rock climbing
24:57that's right.
24:59Yeah, so you're pretty good at rock climbing.
25:01Okay, it's pretty good at...
25:03Oh yeah.
25:05Uh...
25:07Ugh...
25:09Okay.
25:10You're pretty good at rock climbing.
25:12Yeah.
25:14Uh...
25:16Uh...
25:17Okay, you're pretty good at rock climbing.
25:18I'm sorry.
25:19Uh...
25:21Okay...
25:22a rock climbing. But how is your balance? My balance?
25:52I was at the mall the other day and I saw these really cute like lace yellow.
26:22Hey. What's up with you? Don't give me any of that crap. You're not a saint, so this whole change is what? A fake? Oya, are you just trying to score with that Ashley chick?
26:47Hey man, watch it. Then what's really going on? Nothing. Yeah, keep telling yourself that. You're being a wuss. Don't forget who you are, man.
26:56I'm not. Maybe I like who I am better when I'm with her.
27:05Hey. Hi. So, did you hear about the party this weekend?
27:11Oh, um, I'm not really one of the parties.
27:16Alright, come on. I mean, it'll be fun. I promise.
27:20Uh, okay. We'll see.
27:24Really? Yeah. Okay. Okay.
27:28See ya. See ya.
27:31Hey, no. Stay away from him. Who? Oh, please. He's not into girls like you.
27:40What?
27:41Woo!
28:00It's a little bit more.
28:01Go home.
28:02Go away.
28:03Go away.

28:19Oh, hi.
28:20James.
28:21Yeah.
28:22Wow.
28:23You look great.
28:24Yeah.
28:25Victory.
28:26Come on.
28:27Oh.
28:28So.
28:29What do you think?
28:30Uh.
28:31Looks like fun.
28:32Huh?
28:33Yeah.
28:34Well, are you ready?
28:35For what?
28:36To swim.

29:05Here we are.
29:06At least it looks more promising than the last party.
29:07Hey.
29:08That bad?
29:09Lane Fest.
29:10Ooh.
29:11That one's cute.
29:12Whoa.
29:13Carrie.
29:14Who's your friend?
29:15Watch it, Burnside.
29:16She's my cousin.
29:18I'm Mal.
29:19This is Alana.
29:20Hey.
29:22Cool.
29:23Okay, cool. I'll see you later. Probably. I'll get your number maybe
29:53Sorry.
30:09Hey!
30:13No.
30:17That little slut!
30:19Who?
30:21Is that?
30:23No.
30:24Way.
30:26Look who's here.
30:29Ashley.
30:30You know her?
30:34Stop.
30:41Heather, are you telling me?
30:43Uh, sure.
30:46Good luck.
30:47Thanks.
30:48Nick!
30:50Hey.
30:51We need to talk.
30:52Yeah, well I'm a little wet so...
30:55You need to see this.
30:56Hi Ashley.
30:57What?
30:58What are you doing here?
30:59You didn't move far enough away.
31:01People still talk about you at home, you know.
31:03About what you did.
31:04I didn't do any of those things.
31:05I didn't do any of those things.
31:06Yeah.
31:07That doesn't really matter.
31:08Does it?
31:09I can't believe you!
31:10How could you?
31:11You ruined my mind!
31:12Stop!
31:13Okay?
31:14Look, you got what you wanted.
31:15Just leave me alone.
31:16But what's the fun in that?
31:17Why?
31:18Why?
31:19Why me?
31:20Why not?
31:21You got in my way.
31:22You got in my way.
31:23What are you doing here?
31:24What are you doing here?
31:25What are you doing here?
31:26You didn't move far enough away.
31:27People still talk about you at home, you know.
31:28About what you did.
31:29I didn't do any of those things.
31:30Yeah.
31:31That doesn't really matter.
31:32Does it?
31:33Look, you got what you wanted.
31:34Just leave me alone.
31:35But what's the fun in that?
31:37Why?
31:38Why me?
31:39Why not?
31:40You got in my way.
31:42You are so messed up.
31:45You're so horrible!
31:46You should be ashamed!
31:48Well, I'm not.
31:49Okay?
31:50And if you think that you can blackmail me here, you're wrong.
31:53I didn't think anyone would have a reason to blackmail you.
31:58Nick.
31:59This is a very different side of you.
32:02What?
32:04Darren gained 15 pounds over this weekend making out with donuts.
32:09Did you photoshop this?
32:12I caught Libby in the closet with a janitor.
32:18What a ho.
32:19Lisa, if you don't get some gum, I'm gonna start Lysol in your mouth.
32:24It's funny.
32:25Yeah, it's a very interesting profile you have here, Ashley.
32:30What?
32:31Johnson.
32:32I didn't say any of those things.
32:35Oh, really?
32:36You're just gonna pretend like you had nothing to do with this?
32:39Do you know how many people you hurt back home?
32:41And now you're trying to do it over again?
32:43Here!
32:48Nick.
32:49Please listen.
32:50No, Ashley.
32:51I'm done listening to all your crap.
32:54Okay?
32:55Your crap about the way I act.
32:57It makes me feel like I've done everything wrong.
33:00Yet here you are.
33:02Biggest hypocrite of all.
33:04Been so busy judging everyone else, you never really stopped looking at yourself.
33:08Nick, you have no idea what you're talking about.
33:10You're such a fake!
33:11Get out of here!
33:12Yeah, no one wants to hear anyway.
33:13Just go, Ashley.
33:17Ashley?
33:18Ashley?
33:19Ashley?
33:20Ashley?
33:21Ashley?
33:22Ashley?
33:23Ashley, what happened?
33:25, what happened?
33:30?
33:36I'll get away.
33:38Ashley?
33:40I'll get away.
33:42Hey,
33:44.
33:45Ashley?
33:45Ashley?
33:46What happened?
33:47Ashley?
33:48Ashley?
33:50Ashley?
33:51Ashley?
33:52Ashley?
33:53go,
33:55Ashley?
33:55And she falls in.
34:18Hey, look, there she is.
34:20That was so embarrassing.
34:23She should have stayed home.
34:25She's a good girl.
34:26She's a good girl.
34:27So, fuck it off.
34:28Watch out.
34:29Watch out.
34:30Watch out.
34:31Did you see her last night?
34:32Hey, Ashley.
34:48Are you all right?
34:50Yeah.
34:51I saw the video of what happened the other day.
34:53I'm so sorry.
34:54I...
34:55You're a hoe.
34:56You know that?
34:57Just leave me alone.
34:58How could you be so mean to my cousin?
35:00I wasn't.
35:01And I'm willing to bet that you know that.
35:03Yep.
35:04But that's just our secret.
35:06Hey.
35:07Next time you insult my family, you better be ready to face me.
35:10Got it?
35:11Mel said it took her a couple months to run you out of town.
35:14I'm betting I can do it in a matter of days.
35:15I'm betting I can do it in a matter of days.
35:16I'm betting I can do it in a matter of days.
35:21Nice locker.
35:22Nice locker.
35:23Nice locker.
35:48I wanted the pink one.
35:53I can't believe you crashed my locker.
35:55I don't know what you're talking about.
35:56Drop the act.
35:57It wasn't me.
35:58Okay fine, then you had someone do it for you.
35:59Maybe, maybe not, you'll never know.
36:01Why are you doing this to me?
36:02Do I need a reason?
36:03Now get out of the way.
36:09You can't fly from me!
36:15Stop it!
36:16That is enough.
36:18I expect better behavior than this from the both of you.
36:21You were the last two girls I would expect to be fighting.
36:24She vandalized my locker.
36:25I would never do something like that.
36:27She probably did it herself.
36:28Have you seen what she did at her old school to get attention?
36:31Oh, stop it.
36:32Look at all the mean things she's saying.
36:33That's a lie.
36:34Miss Tanner, I've grown up here.
36:36You know me.
36:37Does this sound like me?
36:38Ashley, I know you're new here, and your mother was sketchy on your history.
36:41But at my school, we don't stand idly by while one student hurts another.
36:45I didn't start this.
36:46Oh, please!
36:47You did it before!
36:48Ashley?
36:49What's going on here?
36:52Come here!
36:53Come here!
36:55Max!
36:56Did you see where Ashley went?
36:57Yeah, she went that way.
36:58Thanks.
36:59Wait, what's going on?
37:12Max, did you see where Ashley went?
37:22Yeah, she went that way.
37:24Thanks.
37:25Wait, what's going on?
37:30Ashley?
37:32I'm done.
37:33I can't do this anymore.
37:39I spoke to Miss Tanner.
37:40It's going to be okay.
37:43Does she believe you?
37:48See?
37:49It's just happening all over again.
37:51Why?
37:52Why is this happening to me?
37:56I don't know.
37:57But we're going to fight this.
37:59Why, Mom?
38:00There's no point.
38:02Nobody believes me.
38:03It doesn't matter what I say.
38:05And you know, none of this would have happened if it weren't for you.
38:08Ashley, that's not fair.
38:12No, Mom.
38:13You're the one that was always saying what a good student I was and praising me.
38:17No wonder they came after me.
38:19You know, if it wasn't you, it was going to be somebody else.
38:21Do you know how many times I wish that?
38:26I bet you do.
38:29That you're dating Mr. Carlisle.
38:31Are you trying to make this worse for me?
38:33We're not dating.
38:34It sure looks like you are.
38:35Look, Ashley, if you want to blame me, fine.
38:42I'm okay with that.
38:45But better yet, blame the girls that are at fault here.
38:49Blame Alana and Mel and now Carrie.
38:52If it makes you feel any better, blame everybody who never believed the truth.
38:56I'm sure there's plenty of blame to go around.
38:59But whatever you do, do not give them the satisfaction of tearing us apart, too.
39:13I'm sorry.
39:14You know, maybe we...
39:29We shouldn't have run before.
39:31We gave them exactly what they wanted.
39:34I'm so tired of it all.
39:36I know.
39:38I know.
39:40I don't know what to do.
39:41Well, whatever you do, whatever you decide, if you stay or go, fight or run, we're gonna
39:54do it together, okay?
39:58Okay.
40:01Okay.
40:03I love you, Mom.
40:04I love you, too.
40:09It's okay.
40:11Thank you, Kylie.
40:21That was interesting.
40:26Hey, Nick.
40:27You want to go see a movie later tonight?
40:30No.
40:33Nick.
40:34What?
40:34Have you seen Ashley?
40:36No, and I don't want to.
40:37I can't believe you think she'd do that.
40:42And you don't.
40:43I know her better than that.
40:44I don't buy it.
40:46Okay, well, you're the only one.
40:48Look, man, I saw it.
40:49I saw what she wrote online.
40:50Just because you heard something new about her doesn't mean that it's true.
40:53Well, it doesn't mean that it's not.
40:55Does any of it even sound like the Ashley that you know?
40:57Hey, look, she was pretending.
40:59And why?
40:59I mean, obviously people hated her for the crap that I was written.
41:03If it was her, why wouldn't she take it down?
41:06Look, I don't know.
41:08My guess is that it was a fake account.
41:09Look, whatever.
41:12Remember that rumor you started about me?
41:15I'll put Principal Tanner on the FBI's most wanted list.
41:18Yeah?
41:18So?
41:20What spread faster?
41:22That rumor or me trying to say I didn't do it?
41:28Just give her the benefit of the doubt.
41:36Can I help you?
41:59Um, yeah, is Ashley here?
42:03She wasn't feeling up to school today.
42:07Is she here?
42:09Did she answer?
42:11No.
42:12Then no.
42:15Okay, look, I just...
42:16I just want to talk to her.
42:18I just want to talk to her.
42:48Look, I was stupid.
42:56Okay, I heard some things about you, and I just...
42:59I assumed they were true.
43:03But I don't know what happened to you before you moved here.
43:08Look, if I'm going to hear it from anyone, I'd rather it be you.
43:13Well, you sure seemed like you knew everything at the party.
43:15I was stupid.
43:20You can be mad at me.
43:22I mean, obviously you are, but...
43:25If it helps, throw it at me.
43:33Feel better?
43:34No.
43:38There's only one thing I can think of that'll help.
43:43Telling everybody off?
43:44Do you really think that they'd care?
43:48Maybe.
43:49I mean, I did.
43:51When you called me out on being...
43:53Well, me.
44:00I just...
44:02I've got to leave this place behind.
44:07Thinking of moving?
44:10I want to.
44:11I don't know.
44:21Stay.
44:26Please.
44:31You have no idea what I'm going to face if I stay.
44:35I'll be right here with you.
44:37You said it yourself.
44:39You don't even know what happened.
44:40It doesn't matter.
44:44I know you.
44:49Come on.
44:53Sorry.
44:53Mine went further.
45:13Hey.
45:14Hi.
45:16I didn't know you played.
45:17Oh, uh...
45:19I don't.
45:21I just figured my life's pretty much a country song anyway,
45:23so might as well learn.
45:28Well,
45:29I brought you missing homework assignments.
45:32Gee.
45:33Thanks.
45:34Hey, you're welcome.
45:35Oh, and your, uh,
45:37your video presentation is due in history.
45:39Oh, my gosh.
45:40I haven't even started on that.
45:43Well,
45:44would you like some help?
45:45Hey, Max.
45:48Yes, Nick.
45:49So, I was wondering if you could help us with something.
45:53Yeah, yeah.
45:54We're over at Ashley's.
45:56Okay.
45:57Should it be better.
45:59Okay.
46:02I think this could work.
46:05Yeah, it's perfect.
46:07I guess you're missing.
46:11Max, this is great.
46:14Oh, thanks.
46:15You sure you can pull this off?
46:17Oh, hacking into the school network is cake.
46:19Okay.
46:19Hey, you ready?
46:23Hey, you ready?
46:46I think so.
46:48Don't worry.
46:49You're gonna be great.
46:50You're gonna be great.
46:52Okay.
46:54Let's do this.
46:58All right.
47:02Continuing with our video presentations,
47:06history and your life.
47:09Ashley.
47:10Hi, my name is Ashley Johnson, not Evans.
47:29I changed my name when I moved here, and I'll get to why later.
47:33But the event in history that I want to talk about happened in many parts of the world.
47:37It happened over 300 years ago, and it resulted in deaths from anywhere to 50,000 to 100,000 people.
47:44In colonial Massachusetts, this event started in a village called Salem, where these girls
47:49started having fits, and these fits disturbed local authorities.
47:56What's wrong with these crazy girls?
47:58There's witches.
47:59No, three witches.
48:00They put a curse on us.
48:01Well, bring the witches here.
48:02So, you're a witch.
48:11No, I'm not.
48:12Too bad.
48:13That's the story we're going with.
48:15But it's not true.
48:16Well, we'll see.
48:18Drown her.
48:19If she floats to the top and is alive, she's a witch.
48:23Well, if she survives that, then how do we execute her?
48:27Well, hang on.
48:28But what if I die from drowning?
48:32Well, then.
48:34Well, I guess you're innocent.
48:36But...
48:37Ah!
48:41The girls' accusations led to a chain of hysteria.
48:45Over 200 people were accused of witchcraft.
48:47Twenty were hung.
48:48The colony eventually admitted that the witch trials were a mistake.
48:54But...
48:55You're probably wondering how this bit of history relates to my life.
49:00I used to think that the history didn't really matter.
49:04You know, that you could just forget the past, ignore it, and move on.
49:10But where I lived before I came here, it wasn't enough that I was a good person.
49:16All it took were those that wanted to ruin my reputation.
49:21I was accused of terrible things.
49:24And I did none of them.
49:26All it took were two girls and false accusations.
49:31In a matter of days, I lost most of my friends.
49:34A couple of my closest ones held on for a few more weeks.
49:40But...
49:41People were believing the lie so much that they started attacking me.
49:46And other than my mom...
49:48I had no one to believe in me.
49:53So...
49:53We ran away.
49:55And it didn't help like I thought it would.
49:58And for those of you that have heard anything about me in the last few days...
50:02You already know that.
50:04And if history's taught me anything...
50:09Is that there are those people out there that love to watch others suffer.
50:14Loyalty fades under pressure.
50:16And there are very few knights out there that are willing to fight for you.
50:21But they are out there.
50:25But you know what?
50:27And if history's taught me anything...
50:29Is that there are those people out there that love to watch others suffer.
50:34Loyalty fades under pressure.
50:36And there are very few knights out there that are willing to fight for you.
50:38But they are out there.
50:45But you know what?
50:47My past...
50:48It isn't the end of the world.
50:51Better things are in store.
50:53I just have to fight for them.
50:55I just have to fight for them.
50:56I just have to fight for them.
50:57I just have to fight for them.
50:58I'm not going to sit here and wait for someone to come forward and admit that they made a mistake.
51:04Enough is enough.
51:05I'm not going to bow down to those that get a thrill from watching me suffer.
51:08In Salem, all it took to destroy someone that you didn't like was to call them a witch.
51:15Today, you just...
51:17Just make up some other lie.
51:19Essentially, I have been accused of being a witch.
51:23No matter what I say, the witch trials find me guilty.
51:30But I know what happened.
51:32So, I guess it's up to you to decide whether you want to think and feel for yourself.
51:36Or wait till I drown.
51:38History is what you make of it, right?
51:40So I'm making sure that mine is the truth.
52:05Hi!
52:06My name is Ashley Johnson.
52:07You're a witch.
52:08No, I'm not!
52:09no i'm not i was accused of terrible things so i'm standing up enough is enough history is what
52:16you make of it right so i'm making sure that mine is all it took were two girls and false accusations
52:26do you want to say something to me say it to my face
52:41that's them
