00:00It's okay.
00:05Come on.
00:30See, everything's fine.
00:37Hey, stop.
00:38Stop, stop, stop.
00:39We're here?
00:40Yeah.
00:41Ashley, that's a bit extreme.
00:43Mom, it's not worth the risk.
00:45I'm sorry.
00:46I'm sorry.
00:47I'm sorry.
00:48I'm sorry.
00:49I'm sorry.
00:50Okay, stop.
00:51Stop, stop, stop.
00:52We're here?
00:53Yeah.
00:54Ashley, that's a bit extreme.
00:56Mom, it's not worth the risk.
00:59What a move?
01:00One day we're on the phone.
01:02Haha.
01:03I'm sorry.
01:04Are you kidding me?
01:05No, no, no, no, no...
01:08Want a move?
01:09One day we're gonna do the…
01:10Thanks, buddy.
01:12A little voice in his heart.
01:14Leave, go to the back and he's on the floor.
01:16Wanna move?
01:18One day we're gonna do the…
01:19Nice, buddy.
01:20Nice, buddy.
01:21Nice, buddy.
01:22One of the voices.
01:23A little voice in his heart.
01:25Leave, go to the back and he's on the floor.
01:25You take a nap.
01:26Yeah.
01:27Hey.
01:28Oh, uh, thanks.
01:43Maxie!
01:44Hey!
01:44Don't do that!
01:45Wait, did you say something?
01:47That's what I saw.
01:48Yo, where's that?
01:50What's up, man?
01:50What?
01:50How's it going?
01:52Yeah, dude.
01:53Where else is it going?
01:56All right, everyone, take your seats.
01:58I see we have a new student.
02:02Please, Stan, tell us your name.
02:07Um, my name is Ashley Evans.
02:11Hopefully you're not too far behind in the curriculum, but 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 our textbooks to page 207.
02:24History is always in the making.
02:27What will your history be?
02:28Uh, nothing, why?
02:37What's up?
02:38Oh, hey!
02:39Watch it!
02:42Uh, here.
02:43Thanks.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Uh, I'm Max.
02:46Ashley.
02:47What's your name's class?
02:49Uh, Spanish.
02:50Cool.
02:51I got drama.
02:52I hear there's a new teacher today.
02:53Hmm.
02:53Later.
02:59Later.
03:00Okay.
03:00Well, welcome.
03:02I'm really looking forward to hearing what you've been doing in drama.
03:06Um, so what play have you been working on this semester?
03:14Anyone?
03:15Anyone?
03:15Oh, thank you.
03:23Honey, can you hand me a tomato?
03:24I know.
03:32So, how'd it go today?
03:35It was just school.
03:38Come on, tell me about one class.
03:41Okay.
03:43Um, history was good.
03:46Really?
03:47The teacher seems kind of eccentric.
03:50Yeah, he was.
03:51Okay, look, it's not perfect.
03:53But we're lucky.
03:54You know, it's hard to find a position in the middle of the school year.
03:57So, does that mean we're lucky that the previous drama teacher died?

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

25:14But, how is your balance?
25:17My balance?
25:18Yeah.
25:19They say it's what you make.
25:22I say it's love through faith.
25:24I say it's love through faith.
25:24It's woven in my soul.
25:27I need to let you go.
25:30Your eyes they shine so bright.
25:32I want to save that life.
25:35I can't escape this now.
25:37I'd let you show me how

29:14Okay, cool.

29:18Oh, my God.
29:48Oh no that little slut who is that no way look who's here
30:18Ashley, you know her?
30:31Heather, are you telling me?
30:33Uh, sure. Good luck.
30:37Thanks.
30:38Nick.
30:40Hey.
30:41We need to talk.
30:42Yeah, well I'm a little wet so...
30:45You need to see this.
30:47Hi Ashley.
31:01What are you doing here?
31:06You didn't move far enough away.
31:08People still talk about you at home, you know.
31:10About what you did.
31:12I didn't do any of those things.
31:14Yeah.
31:15That doesn't really matter, does it?
31:18I can't believe you!
31:20How could you?
31:21You ruined my mind!
31:22Stop, okay?
31:23Look, you got what you wanted, just leave me alone.
31:26But what's the fun in that?
31:28Why?
31:29Why?
31:30Why me?
31:31Why not?
31:32You got in my way.
31:34You are so messed up.
31:36You're so horrible, you should be ashamed!
31:40Well I'm not.
31:41Okay?
31:42And if you think that you can blackmail me here, you're wrong.
31:44I didn't think anyone would have a reason to blackmail you.
31:46I didn't think anyone would have a reason to blackmail you.
31:50This is a very different side of you.
31:54What?
31:55Darren gained 15 pounds over this weekend making out with donuts.
32:01Did you photoshop this?
32:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:05I caught Libby in the closet with a janitor.
32:09What a hoe.
32:11Lisa, if you don't get some gum, I'm gonna start Lysol in your mouth.
32:15It's funny.
32:17Yeah, it's a very interesting profile you have here, Ashley.
32:21Johnson.
32:23I didn't say any of those things.
32:25Oh really?
32:26You're just gonna pretend that you had nothing to do with this?
32:29Do you know how many people you hurt back home?
32:31And now you're trying to do it over again here!
32:38Nick.
32:40Please listen.
32:41No, Ashley.
32:42I'm done listening to all your crap.
32:44Okay?
32:45Your crap about the way I act
32:47makes me feel like I've done everything wrong.
32:50Yet here you are.
32:52Biggest hypocrite of all.
32:54Been so busy judging everyone else,
32:57you never really stop to look at yourself.
32:59Nick, you have no idea what you're talking about.
33:01You're such a fake!
33:02Get out of here!
33:03Yeah, no one wants you here anyway.
33:07Just go, Ashley.
33:09Ashley?
33:10Ashley?
33:11Ashley!
33:12What happened?
33:13Ashley!
33:14Ashley, what happened?
33:15Ashley?
33:21Ashley?
33:29Ashley!
33:31Ashley, what happened?
33:45Hey, look, there she is.
34:09It was so embarrassing.
34:12She didn't stay home.
34:14I love her so much.
34:16It's a book girl.
34:18Watch out.
34:19What?
34:20Did you see her last night?
34:23She was so embarrassing.
34:26No question.
34:28What?
34:30Loser.
34:32It's awesome.
34:36Ashley?
34:38Are you alright?
34:40Yeah.
34:41I saw the video of what happened the other day.
34:43I'm so sorry.
34:44I-
34:45You're a hoe, you know that?
34:46Did you just leave me alone?
34:48How could you be so mean to my cousin?
34:50I wasn't.
34:51And I'm willing to bet that you know that.
34:53Yep.
34:54But that's just our secret.
34:56Hey!
34:57Next time you insult my family, you better be ready to face me.
35:00Got it?
35:02Mel said it took her a couple months to run you out of town.
35:05I'm betting I can do it in a matter of days.
35:08Missour.
35:10Let's eat.
35:11Let's go, let's eat.
35:16.
35:25.
35:29Nice locker.
35:42I wanted the pink one.
35:44I can't believe you trapped my locker.
35:45I don't know what you're talking about.
35:46Drop the act.
35:47It wasn't me.
35:48Okay, fine.
35:48Then you had someone do it for you.
35:49Maybe, maybe not.
35:50You'll never know.
35:51Why are you doing this to me?
35:52Do I need a reason?
35:54Now get out of the way.
35:54You can't walk with me.
36:05Stop it.
36:06That is enough.
36:09I expect better behavior than this from the both of you.
36:12You're the last two girls I would expect to be fighting.
36:14She vandalized my locker.
36:15I would never do something like that.
36:17She probably did it herself.
36:19Have you seen what she did at our old school to get attention?
36:21Oh, stop it.
36:22Look at all the mean things she's saying.
36:24That's a lie.
36:24Miss Tanner, I've grown up here.
36:26You know me.
36:27Does this sound like me?
36:28Ashley, I know you're new here and your mother was sketchy on your history.
36:32But at my school, we don't stand idly by while one student hurts another.
36:35I didn't start this.
36:36Oh, please.
36:37You did it before.
36:38Ashley?
36:41What's going on here?
36:42Max, did you see where Ashley went?
37:12Yeah, she went that way.
37:14Thanks.
37:16Wait, what's going on?
37:20Ashley?
37:22I'm done.
37:23I can't do this anymore.
37:25I spoke to Miss Tanner.
37:30I spoke to Miss Tanner.
37:30It's going to be okay.
37:33Well, does she believe you?
37:38See?
37:39It's just happening all over again.
37:41Why?
37:42Why?
37:42Why is this happening to me?
37:44I don't know.
37:47But we're going to fight this.
37:49Why, Mom?
37:51There's no point.
37:52Nobody believes me.
37:53It doesn't matter what I say.
37:55And you know, none of this would have happened if it weren't for you.
38:01Ashley, that's not fair.
38:02No.
38:03Mom, you're the one that was always saying what a good student I was and praising me.
38:06No wonder they came after me.
38:09You know, if it wasn't you, it was going to be somebody else.
38:13You know how many times I wish that?
38:16I bet you do.
38:19That you're dating Mr. Carlisle.
38:21Are you trying to make this worse for me?
38:23We're not dating.
38:24It sure looks like you are.
38:25Look, Ashley, if you want to blame me, fine.
38:32I'm okay with that.
38:35But better yet, blame the girls that are at fault here.
38:39Blame Alana and Mel and now Carrie.
38:42If it makes you feel any better, blame everybody who never believed the truth.
38:47I'm sure there's plenty of blame to go around.
38:49But whatever you do, do not give them the satisfaction of tearing us apart, too.
39:03I'm sorry.
39:04I'm sorry.
39:13You know, maybe we...
39:19We shouldn't have run before.
39:21We gave them exactly what they wanted.
39:24I'm so tired of it all.
39:26I know.
39:28I know.
39:30I don't know what to do.
39:33Well, whatever you do,
39:36whatever you decide,
39:37if you stay or go,
39:40fight or run,
39:42we're going to do it together, okay?
39:49Okay.
39:51I don't know.
39:51I don't know.
39:51I don't know.
39:53I don't know.
39:54I love you, man.
39:54I love you, too.

43:02Well, you sure seemed like you knew everything at the party.

44:14Doesn't matter.
44:16I know you.
44:17Sorry.
44:23I'll be right here with you.
44:26You said it yourself. You don't even know what happened.

44:33I know you.
44:53Mine went further.
45:03Hey.
45:04Oh, hi.
45:05I didn't know you played.
45:07Oh, uh, I don't.
45:10I just figured my life's pretty much a country song anyway,
45:13so might as well learn.
45:17Well, I brought you missing homework assignments.
45:21Hey, thanks.
45:23Hey, you're welcome.
45:25Oh, and your video presentation is due in history.
45:29Oh my gosh, I haven't even started on that.
45:33Well, would you like some help?
45:36Hey, Max.
45:37Yes, Nick.
45:39So, I was wondering if you could help us with something.
45:43Yeah, yeah, we're over at Ashley's.
45:45Okay.
45:47It'll be right up.
45:48Okay.
45:51I think this could work.
45:55Yeah, it's perfect.
45:56I guess you're missing.
46:01Max, this is great.
46:03All right, thanks.
46:05You sure you can pull this off?
46:06Oh, hacking into a school network is cake.
46:08Hey, you ready?
46:22I think so.
46:23Don't worry.
46:24You're gonna be great.
46:26Okay.
46:27Let's do this.
46:28All right.
46:29Continuing with our video presentations.
46:30History and your life.
46:31All right.
46:32Ashley.
46:33Ashley.
46:34Ashley.
46:35Ashley.
46:36Hey, you ready?
46:37I think so.
46:38Don't worry.
46:39You're gonna be great.
46:40Okay.
46:41Let's do this.
46:42Okay.
46:43Okay.
46:44Let's do this.
46:49All right.
46:51Continuing with our video presentations.
46:55History and your life.
46:57Ashley.
46:59Ashley.
47:16Hi.
47:17My name is Ashley Johnson, not Evans.
47:19I changed my name when I moved here, and I'll get to why later.
47:23But the event in history that I want to talk about happened in many parts of the world.
47:27It happened over 300 years ago and resulted in the deaths from anywhere to 50,000 to 100,000 people.
47:34In colonial Massachusetts, this event started in a village called Salem, where these girls started having fits.
47:40And these fits disturbed local authorities.
47:45What's wrong with these crazy girls?
47:48There's witches.
47:49No, three witches.
47:50They put a curse on us.
47:51Well, bring the witches here.
47:53Okay.
47:58So, you're a witch.
48:01No, I'm not.
48:02Too bad.
48:03That's the story we're going with.
48:05But it's not true.
48:06Well, we'll see.
48:08Drown her.
48:09If she floats to the top and is alive, she's a witch!
48:13Well, if she survives that, then how do we execute her?
48:17Well, hang on.
48:18But what if I die from drowning?
48:20Well, then.
48:21Well, I guess you're innocent.
48:22Well, I'm not.
48:23No.
48:24No.
48:25Ah!
48:26The girls' accusations led to a chain of hysteria.
48:33Over 200 people were accused of witchcraft.
48:36Twenty were hung.
48:37The colony eventually admitted that the witch trials were a mistake.
48:38But you're probably wondering how this bit of history relates to my life.
48:47I used to think that the history didn't really matter.
48:48You know, that you could just forget the past, ignore it, and move on.
48:49But where I lived before I came here, it wasn't enough that I was a good person.
49:06All it took were those that wanted to ruin my reputation.
49:10I was accused of terrible things.
49:13And I did none of them.
49:16All it took were two girls and false accusations.
49:20In a matter of days, I lost most of my friends.
49:24A couple of my closest ones held on for a few more weeks.
49:27But people were believing the lie so much that they started attacking me.
49:35And other than my mom, I had no one to believe in me.
49:40So, we ran away.
49:44And it didn't help like I thought it would.
49:47And for those of you that have heard anything about me in the last few days,
49:50you already know that.
49:52And if history's taught me anything, is that there are those people out there that love to watch others suffer.
50:02Loyalty fades under pressure.
50:05And there are very few nights out there that are willing to fight for you.
50:11But they are out there.
50:13But you know what?
50:16And if history's taught me anything, is that there are those people out there that love to watch others suffer.
50:22Loyalty fades under pressure.
50:25And there are very few nights out there that are willing to fight for you.
50:28But they are out there.
50:32But you know what?
50:34My past, it isn't the end of the world.
50:40Better things are in store.
50:43I just have to fight for them.
50:45So I'm standing up.
50:47I'm not going to sit here and wait for someone to come forward and admit that they made a mistake.
50:53Enough is enough.
50:55I'm not going to bow down to those that get a thrill from watching me suffer.
50:58In Salem, all it took to destroy someone that you didn't like was to call them a witch.
51:05Today, you just make up some other lie.
51:11Essentially, I have been accused of being a witch.
51:15No matter what I say, the witch trials find me guilty.
51:19But I know what happened.
51:21So I guess it's up to you to decide whether you want to think and feel for yourself.
51:28Or wait till I drown.
51:31Mystery is what you make of it, right?
51:34So I'm making sure that mine is the truth.
51:38Mine is the truth.
51:55Hi, my name is Ashley Johnson.
51:58You're a witch.
51:59If not, I was accused of terrible things.
52:02So I'm standing up.
52:04Enough is enough.
52:06History is what you make of it, right?
52:08So I'm making sure that mine is the truth.
52:12All it took were two girls and false accusations.
52:16In a matter of days, I was lost to my friends.
52:25Hey, do you want to say something to me?
52:27Say it to my face.
52:31That's them.
52:57So, now that things are fine with you and Ashley, do you think it would crank up the awkwardness if you and I went out on a date?
53:10Yes, definitely.
53:11Definitely.
53:20She's a strong girl.
53:23She can handle it.
53:24Besides, I think she likes this.
53:25She likes this.
53:26I think she likes this.
53:27In a matter of while.
53:28She likes me, my hair.
53:29Love you.
53:30in the distance, she's all.
53:32I'm on fire.
