04:02But we're lucky, you know?

04:04It's hard to find a position in the middle of the school year.

15:52That history assignment

15:54Have you started?

15:57Um

15:58No

15:59Well, I

16:00I had a place if you

16:02Wanted to go

16:03Sounds good

16:05Yeah, you should get out

16:06You should get out a little bit today

16:08Um

16:10I'll go get my shoes

16:16My mom's grandpa flew one of these

16:18Yeah?

16:19Mm-hmm

16:21Uh

16:23B-17

16:25Flying fortress

16:26Did he ever see any action?

16:30Yeah

16:31He was, uh

16:32He was flying over Germany when he was fired on

16:36No way?

16:37Yeah

16:39What did he do?

16:40Well, it tore through the whole side

16:43Trapping one of his crew in the tail

16:45He had five of his men bail

16:49Just in case he couldn't land the plane safely

16:52And the rest of the men used their own parachutes

16:55To hold the tail on

16:59Well, were they okay?

17:02Yeah, he, uh

17:04He landed the plane safely

17:06Well, while he was left of the plane

17:08I 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

17:22Why did you ask me to go with you?

17:38I don't know

17:40I just thought you might like it

17:42I did

17:44See you at school

17:45Yeah

17:46It's good to write your paper

17:48I won't

17:50Her 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 changed my perspective

18:04It wasn't just a story

18:06It was history

18:16Well, hello

18:18What brings you here?

18:20Just 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?

18:37A fog machine, I 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?

18:47And 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 trap-wise

18:57To make them surrender

18:59And the whole...

19:00Look, hey, clumsy much?

19:15She pined and fought

19:18And with a green and yellow melancholy she sat

19:21Like patience on a monument

19:25Smiling at grief

19:26Was 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

19:50Hey mom, I can't find the keys to the...

19:51Oh...

19:54Keys to the house

19:56Oh, we were just rehearsing a scene

19:58Isn't Viola supposed to...

20:00Step back there at the end?

20:01Yeah, and...

20:03Orsino should probably just stay quiet

20:05Yeah

20:06I'm gonna wait...

20:08Yeah

20:14Did you see what that Ashley girl is wearing?

20:16Blah

20:17Yeah, and her hair

20:19Maxie!

20:21Hey, texting your mom?

20:22Cut her out

20:24Oh, let's buy something

20:26That looks good

20:28Oops, how about this one Ned?

20:29Hey, I love to shop

20:31Stop

20:33Hmm, I need new shoes

20:35Pink maybe?

20:37Hey

20:40Let him go

20:42Hey!

20:44I didn't finish

20:46You're done

20:47Dude

20:51What was that?

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

21:09No

21:10So you're gonna turn the loser on me?

21:12Why do you care?

21:13I 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

21:25How's Ashley handling the move?

21:28How's Ashley handling the move?

21:30As well as can be expected

21:34About five months ago

21:37She had a ton of friends

21:39She's a great student

21:40Well, as great as any teenage girl can be

21:42Who spends more time on the phone than doing homework

21:45But

21:47But

21:50Suddenly

21:51I mean completely

21:52Out of the blue

21:54Everybody started to hate her

21:58She had no idea why so many of her friends were pulling away

22:01And

22:03Well, anyway

22:04We found this

22:06Profile online

22:07It was linked to all of her friends

22:08Everyone from her school

22:12Someone was pretending to be her

22:15And they were saying all these horrible things about everybody else

22:19And 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

22:38She 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

22:45Lies spread faster than truth

22:49I mean in everyone's mind Ashley was guilty

22:51The truth didn't matter

22:53Kids started shunning her at school

22:55Then attacking her

22:57I thought it was being said online by the other girls

23:00There was just so much hate

23:02How long did this go on for?

23:05Two months

23:07What did the attorney say?

23:09It wasn't good

23:11It was just... this is gonna blow over, okay?

23:13No, Mom, wake up! This isn't gonna blow over!

23:17Ashley!

23:18Ashley begged me to move

23:23We left in the middle of the night, two days later

23:27Julie, I'm so sorry

23:30Don't be

23:32Oh, not for me anyway

23:35Is there anything I can do to help, or?

23:37No, just be patient with her

23:38No, just be patient with her

23:40She'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?

23:55Ashley was cast as the lead in a play

23:59She used to love theater

24:01I even had two other faculty members decide on who to cast

24:04Just 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

24:18And we're talking about teenage girls

24:20Hey!

24:27Hi!

24:29Um...

24:30What are you doing?

24:32Uh...

24:33Just studying

24:35Oh, would you like to take a break?

24:40Uh...

24:42Sure

24:47You ready for this?

24:49Yeah, I guess so

24:51You're not scared of heights or anything, are you?

24:53No

24:55So, what you're gonna wanna do is...

24:57Use these rips

24:59And, well...

25:00Just climb with your legs

25:02Okay, this isn't rocket science

25:04Should be able to manage

25:06Wanna race?

25:07Okay...

25:08You're pretty good at rock climbing

25:23But...

25:25How is your balance?

25:27My balance?

25:28No

25:29They say it's what you make

25:31I say it's up to fate

25:34It's woven in my soul

25:36I need to let you go

25:39Your eyes, they shine so bright

25:42I wanna save that life

25:45I can't escape this now

25:48Unless you show me how

25:51When you're on my feet

25:53Look into my eyes

25:55It's where my demons hide

25:58It's where my demons hide

26:01Don't do my way

26:04Don't get inside

26:06It's where my demons hide

26:09It's where my demons hide

26:11So I was at the mall the other day and I saw these really cute, like, lace, yellow...

31:07You didn't move far enough away.

31:08People still talk about you at home, you know.

31:09About what you did.

31:10I didn't do any of those things.

31:11Yeah.

31:12That doesn't really matter.

34:24Did you see her last night?

34:46Hey Ashley, are you alright?

34:49Yeah.

34:51I saw the video of what happened the other day. I'm so sorry.

34:55You're a hoe, you know that?

34:57Did you just leave me alone?

34:58How could you be so mean to my cousin?

35:00I wasn't, and I'm willing to bet that you know that.

35:03Yep, but that's just our secret.

35:06Hey!

35:07Next time you insult my family, you better be ready to face me.

35:10Got it?

35:12Mel said it took her a couple months to run you out of town.

35:15I'm betting I can do it in a matter of days.

35:21Nice locker.

35:44Nice locker.

35:52I thought you wanted the pink one.

35:54I can't believe you trashed my locker.

35:55I don't know what you're talking about.

35:56Drop the act.

35:57It wasn't me.

35:58Okay, fine.

35:58Then you had someone do it for you.

35:59Maybe, maybe not.

36:00You'll never know.

36:01Why are you doing this to me?

36:02Do I need a reason?

36:04Now get out of my way.

36:08Hey, girl.

36:09You can't walk with me!

36:15Stop it!

36:16That is enough.

36:19I expect better behavior than this from the both of you.

36:22You're 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.

36:29Have you seen what she did at our old school to get attention?

36:31Oh, stop it.

36:32Look at all the mean things she's saying.

36:34That's a lie.

36:35Miss Tanner, I've grown up here.

36:36You know me.

36:37Does this sound like me?

36:38Ashley, I know you're new here,

36:40and your mother was sketchy on your history.

36:42But at my school, we don't stand idly by

36:43while one student hurts another.

36:45I didn't start this.

36:46Oh, please!

36:47You did it before!

36:48Ashley?

36:51What's going on here?

36:52Max, 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?

37:44See?

37:44It's just happening all over again.

37:51Why?

37:52Why?

37:52Why is this happening to me?

37:56I don't know.

37:57But we're going to fight this.

37:59Why, Mom?

38:01There's no point.

38:02Nobody believes me.

38:03It doesn't matter what I say.

38:05And you know,

38:06none of this would have happened

38:08if it weren't for you.

38:09Ashley, that's not fair.

38:12No, Mom.

38:13You're the one that was always saying

38:14what a good student I was

38:16and praising me.

38:17No wonder they came after me.

38:19You know, if it wasn't you,

38:20it was going to be somebody else.

38:24You know how many times I wish that?

38:27I 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.

38:36Look.

38:39Ashley.

38:40If you want to blame me, fine.

38:42I'm...

38:42I'm okay with that.

38:45But better yet,

38:46blame the girls that are at fault here.

38:49Blame Alana and Mel and now Carrie.

38:52If it makes you feel any better,

38:54blame everybody who never believed the truth.

38:57I'm sure there's plenty of blame to go around.

38:59But whatever you do,

39:04do not give them the satisfaction

39:07of 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.

39:37I know.

39:38I know.

39:40I don't know what to do.

39:41Well, whatever you do,

39:45whatever you decide,

39:47if you stay or go,

39:50fight or run,

39:52we're gonna do it together, okay?

39:59Okay.

40:01Okay.

40:03I love you, man.

40:05I love you, too.

40:09It's okay.

40:11Thank you, Kylie.

40:21That was interesting.

40:26Hey, Nick.

40:27You wanna go see a movie later tonight?

40:31No.

40:33Nick.

40:34What?

40:35Have 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.

40:45I 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

40:51doesn'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 was written.

41:04If it was her,

41:05why 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.

41:13Remember 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?

42:04She wasn't feeling up to school today.

42:07Is she here?

42:09Did she answer?

42:11No.

42:12Then no.

42:15Hey, look, I just...

42:16I just want to talk to her.

42:18I just want to talk to you.

42:24Yeah, look.

42:54I was stupid, okay?

42:56I heard some things about you, and I just, I 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.

43:21I mean, obviously you are, but if it helps, throw it at me.

43:33Feel better?

43:35No.

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?

43:46Maybe.

43:49I mean, I did.

43:51When you called me out on being, well, me.

44:00I just, I gotta leave this place behind.

44:08Thinking of moving?

44:09I want to.

44:13I don't know.

44:21Stay.

44:27Please.

44:27You have no idea what I'm going to face if I stay.

44:36I'll be right here with you.

44:38You said it yourself.

44:39You don't even know what happened.

44:40It doesn't matter.

44:45I know you.

44:49Come here.

44:50Mine went further.

45:13Hey.

45:15Hi.

45:16I didn't know you played.

45:17Oh, uh, I, I don't.

45:21I just figured my life's pretty much a country song anyway, so might as well learn.

45:28Well, I brought you missing homework assignments.

45:32Gee, thanks.

45:34Hey, you're welcome.

45:36Oh, and your, uh, your video presentation is due in history.

45:39Oh my gosh, I haven't even started on that.

45:43Well, would 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, we're over at Ashley's.

45:56Okay.

45:58It's a little bit better.

45:59Okay.

46:02Okay, this could work.

46:05Yeah, it's perfect.

46:07I guess you're missing.

46:08Oh!

46:09Oh!

46:09Ah!

46:10Max, this is great.

46:14All right, thanks.

46:16You sure you can pull this off?

46:17Oh, hacking into the school network is cake.

46:19Hey, you ready?

46:46I think so.

46:47Don't worry.

46:48Don't worry.

46:49You're gonna be great.

46:53Okay.

46:54Let's do this.

47:00All right.

47:03Continuing with our video presentations,

47:06History and Your Life.

47:09Ashley.

47:10Ashley.

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,

47:49where these girls started 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.

48:08So, 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.

48:17Well, we'll see.

48:18Drown her.

48:19If she floats to the top and is alive, she's a witch!

48:22Well, if she survives that, then how do we execute her?

48:27Well, hang on.

48:29But what if I die from drowning?

48:32Well, then.

48:34Well, I guess you're innocent.

48:37But...

48:37I'm not...

48:37Ah!

48:42The girls' accusations led to a chain of hysteria.

48:45Over 200 people were accused of witchcraft.

48:47Twenty were hung.

48:48You know, the colony eventually admitted that the witch trials were a mistake.

48:54But...

48:54You're probably wondering how this bit of history relates to my life.

49:00I used to think that...

49:02The history didn't really matter.

49:05You know, that you could just...

49:07Forget the past.

49:09Ignore it and move on.

49:11But...

49:12Where I lived before I came here...

49:14It 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.

49:35A couple of my closest ones held on for a few more weeks.

49:38But...

49:40People were believing the lie so much that they started attacking me.

49:46And other than my mom...

49:49I had no one to believe in me.

49:52So...

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.

50:03And if history's taught me anything...

50:08It's 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?

50:26My past...

50:47It isn't the end of the world.

50:52Better things are in store.

50:53I just have to fight for them.

50:57So I'm standing up.

51:00I'm not going to sit here and wait for someone to come forward...

51:02And admit that they made a mistake.

51:04Enough is enough.

51:06I'm not going to bow down to those that get a thrill from watching me suffer.

51:11In Salem...

51:12All it took to destroy someone that you didn't like...

51:15Was to call them a witch.

51:18Today, you just...

51:19Just make up some other lie.

51:21Essentially, I have been accused of being a witch.

51:27No matter what I say, the witch trials find me guilty.

51:31But I know what happened.

51:35So I guess it's up to you to decide whether you want to think and feel for yourself...

51:40Or wait till I drown.

51:43History is what you make of it, right?

51:47So I'm making sure that mine is the truth.

51:49I'm not going to talk to you to the world, eh?

52:01I'm not going to talk to you to the world, eh?

52:04We know this for a while.

52:06Hi.

52:06My name is Ashley Johnson.

52:08You're a witch.

52:09No, I'm not.

52:10I was accused of terrible things.

52:12So I'm standing up.

52:14Enough is enough.

52:16History is what you make of it, right?

52:17So I'm making sure that mine is the truth.

52:23All it took were two girls and false accusations.

52:27In a matter of days, I lost my friends.

52:35Okay.

52:36Do you want to say something to me?

52:38Say it to my face!

52:39No!

52:40No!

52:41That's them.

52:42Take it in, but don't look down.

52:44I'm on top of the world, eh?

52:47I'm on top of the world, eh?

52:49I've been waiting for a while now.

52:52Paying my dues to the dozen.

52:54I've been waiting to smile, eh?

52:57I'm holding it in for a while, eh?

52:59Take a look, you know I'm kidding.

53:02I've been dreaming of this as a child.

53:03So, now that things are fine with you and Ashley, um, do you think it would crank up the awkwardness

53:16if you and I went out on a date?

53:21Yes, definitely.

53:22Let's go.

53:30She's a strong girl.

53:33She can handle it.

53:35Besides, I think she likes this girl.

53:37Hahaha.

53:38Let's go.

53:39Let's go.
