00:57Okay, stop.
00:58Stop, stop, stop.
01:00We're here?
01:01Yeah.
01:05Ashley, that's a bit extreme.

01:28Thanks, buddy.
01:32Oh, thanks.
01:48Maxie.

02:00I see we have a new student.
02:11Please stand.
02:13Tell us your name.
02:13Oh, my name is Ashley Evans.
02:21Hopefully you're not too far behind in the curriculum, but I'll get to you.
02:23Just have a seat there.
02:24Well, it's always nice to have some fresh blood here.
02:27Let's turn our textbooks to page 207.
02:30history is always in the making.
02:35What will your history be?
02:38Uh, nothing, why?
02:39What's up?
02:40Watch it.
02:41Uh, here.
02:42Thanks.
02:43Yeah.
02:44I'm Max.
02:45Ashley.

02:47Uh, nothing, why?
02:48What's up?
02:49Hey.

02:51Uh, here.
02:52Thanks.
02:53Yeah.
02:54I'm Max.
02:55Ashley.

02:58Uh, Spanish.
02:59Cool.
03:00I got drama.
03:01I hear there's a new teacher today.
03:07Later.
03:08Okay.
03:09Well, welcome.
03:10I'm really looking for a new teacher.
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?
03:27Oh.
03:33Honey, can you hand me a tomato?
03:35Okay.
03:36Uh, okay.
03:37Okay.
03:38So?
03:39How'd it go today?
03:40It was just...
03:41School.
03:42Come on, tell me about one class.
03:44Okay.
03:45Um...
03:46History was good.
03:47Really?
03:48The teacher seems kind of eccentric.
03:49one class okay um history was good really teacher seems kind of eccentric yeah he was okay look it's
04:02not perfect but we're lucky you 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
04:19so
04:49what's your problem
05:04what's your problem i can't believe you sent me in the back like this i trusted you
05:08all people i can't believe you went and did that
05:22hey watch this hey pick it up
05:36oh
05:56so
06:04you gotta give him credit you know what to make the fun the next leader of that's um
06:16gang yeah you know you got burnside right next to him who's 95 mass five percent brain
06:25then you got carrie the queen bee got a whole hive following her all the time you know
06:30anyone ever heard of chivalry um like when you open the door for a girl how would he know it's not like
06:41any girl's gonna get that close to him anyways protectors of the weak and defenseless and warriors
06:48so who's gonna run away with that's not gonna have her at i'm gonna be a human being able to be a human being
06:57a star
06:57instead of protectors.
07:00Maybe.
07:11Way to stay under the radar, Ashley.
07:14See, I tracked down this virus from my aunt's computer.
07:17Now, it's meant to intrude and collect information,
07:19send it back to the sender.
07:20Yeah, I found out where the source is coming from.
07:22Check that out.
07:23Oh, that's pretty cool.
07:24Yeah.
07:25Oh, watch it.
07:27Nick!
07:31Ooh, watch it.
07:32Nick!
07:34Careful with my laptop.
07:35Yeah, I would have fried it, right?
07:37Would you cut it out?
07:38Oh, look, Max.
07:40It's your neck and shining armor.
07:42I'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.
07:53This is incomplete.
07:55Well, I don't get it.
07:57Well, maybe if you spent less time goofing off with your friends
07:59and more time actually paying attention, you'd understand.
08:02Now, I want you to take it home and I want you to try again.
08:06Go on.
08:18Hey, that's mine.
08:20Hey.
08:21Here's where you're getting it wrong.
08:26That should be why.
08:27You're making the same mistake on every problem.
08:35Have you met a girl named Angie yet?
08:38Uh, no, I don't think so.
08:40Well, somebody dropped out of the play.
08:44I was thinking about using her as a replacement.
08:46Yeah?
08:47What role?
08:48Olivia.
08:49We're doing Twelfth Night.
08:52You'd be such a great Olivia.
08:56But it's not even the starring role.
08:57Mom, I don't have time in my class schedule for drama, okay?
09:00I 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.
09:15So, with dancing, there was real communication.
09:22Dancing allowed for intimate closeness and private conversation.
09:37Okay, everyone, come on up here.
09:41Now we're all going to try it.
09:45You know, Mr. Carlisle, I can't really risk injuring myself in the offseason, so...
09:51If you injure yourself doing this, then I would highly reconsider calling yourself an athlete.
09:55All right, come on, guys, let's pair up.
09:58Nick and Ashley, Max and Wei, Brenna and Patrick.
10:02Come on up.
10:06All right, everyone ready?
10:08Grab your partners like this and follow us.
10:12Now, back in Civil War times, dancing was enjoyed by everyone.
10:22Hey, what makes you think that you know me?
10:25I don't.
10:27I know guys like you.
10:30What's that supposed to mean?
10:33Nothing.
10:34Can you just... just dance?
10:36No.
10:37I want to know.
10:40Okay, fine.
10:41I know you lame, self-centered guys who always have to be on top.
10:45You can't go two seconds without putting someone else down.
10:47And why?
10:48Because in some perverse way, it makes you feel better.
10:54I'm not all those things.
10:57Fine.
10:58Prove me wrong.
10:59I had a kid cut himself on one of the pages of the play.
11:03Are you serious?
11:04Bled a lot for a paper cut.
11:05I 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?
11:20They got what they wanted.
11:24Sweetie.
11:25It's just junk.
11:26Sweetie.
11:37Let's see.
11:49Oh, my God.
12:19Hey.
12:26What, are you following me now?
12:28No.
12:30I just saw you coming back here, and I thought I'd see what you were doing.
12:33Just exploring?
12:35My old school didn't have anything like this.
12:44Why?
12:46Why what?
12:49Why are you being nice all of a sudden?
12:52Why does it matter to you now?
12:55It doesn't.
13:00Okay.
13:01Um.
13:01Everyone around here knows me, but you don't.
13:11So?
13:12Well, it's like one minute you're getting all over my case, and then the next you're helping
13:18me.
13:21Am I supposed to apologize for that?
13:24No.
13:26I just...
13:27I don't do it.
13:29You did what you did.
13:31I helped you through math, okay?
13:32It's not that big of a deal.
13:33It is not that big of a deal.
13:37I mean, I wouldn't have helped.
13:39Oh, I know.
13:40Well, that's it for today.
13:46Uh, but I do have your next assignment.
13:48Now, here's what I want you to do.
13:50I want you to pick a place that has history.
13:54Any place at all.
13:55City hall, a museum, a monument.
13:58Go there, and write about it, and what it means to you.
14:02Um, how long does the paper have to be?
14:04Just two or three pages.
14:06Ugh.
14:07You can make it longer.
14:08Yeah, right.
14:11Do next week.
14:12Oh, I'm sorry.
14:30Oh, I'm sorry.
14:33You know Max, right?
14:35Why aren't you nicer to him?
14:37Me and Max grew up together.
14:39We're actually friends.
14:40Um, then he started getting into all this tech stuff,
14:44and, I don't know, that's not really how I roll.
14:46So, we drifted apart.
14:50I mean, it's like you said.
14:53People change.
14:55Yeah, but there's a difference between changing
14:57and changing for the better.
15:03Go ahead.
15:04Thanks.
15:10You could have swore my keys were in my purse.
15:17Found them.
15:21Buy the spaghetti sauce.
15:24Of course.
15:25Any special requests?
15:27Um, chips and cereal.
15:31Of course.
15:32Okay.
15:33Thanks, Mom.
15:36Hi.
15:38Hi.
15:40Um, is Ashley here?
15:47What are you doing here?
15:50Um, I was just gonna go do that history assignment.
15:55Have you started?
15:57Um, no.
16:00Well, I had a place if you wanted to go.
16:04Sounds good.
16:05Yeah, you should get out.
16:06You should get out a little bit today.
16:07Um, I'll go get my shoes.
16:12My mom's grandpa flew one of these.
16:18Yeah?
16:19Uh, B-17.
16:25Flying fortress.
16:28Did he ever see any action?
16:31Yeah.
16:32He was, uh, he was flying over Germany when he was fired on.
16:37No way?
16:37What did he do?
16:38Yeah.
16:39What did he do?
16:41Well, it tore through the whole side.
16:44Trapping one of his crew in the tail.
16:45He had five of his men bail, just in case he couldn't land the plane safely.
16:53And the rest of the men used their own parachutes to hold the tail on.
16:59Well, were they okay?
17:01Yeah, he, uh, he landed the plane safely.
17:07Well, I was left with a plane.
17:10I gave him a medal for it.
17:13Wow.
17:15That's a really cool story.
17:18It'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.
17:44I'll see you at school.
17:46Yeah.
17:47Don't forget to write your paper.
17:48I won't.
17:49Her great-grandfather saved the plane and the men in it.
17:54To me, it used to be some war that happened years ago.
17:57But to others, it's a real event.
18:00That changes your perspective.
18:02Just 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?
18:19I'm just basking in a moment of triumph.
18:24One of my students is finally starting to get it.
18:28Oh?
18:29Who?
18:29Nick Thomas.
18:31Very good.
18:34What the?
18:35What is this?
18:36A fog machine.
18:37I use it in some of the plays that I do.
18:41You know, I'm just being careful, you know?
18:43What kind of mother would I be if I let my daughter go out with just anyone?
18:46And it appeared that the British were going to beat the Americans badly.
18:53The British sent their ships to cut off an escape route.
18:56All they had to do was track by them to make them surrender.
18:59Oh, hey.
19:13Clumsy match?
19:15She pined and thought.
19:17and with a green and yellow melancholy she sat
19:20like patience on a monument
19:23smiling at grief

43:09hear it from anyone, I'd rather it be you.
43:12Well, 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 if it helps, I'll throw it at me.

43:48Maybe.
43:49I mean, I did.
43:51When you called me out on being, well, me.

44:26Please?
44:27You have no idea what I'm going to face if I stay.
44:35I'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.
44:49I'm sorry.
44:53Mine went further.
45:02Mine went further.
45:04Hey.
45:15Hi.
45:16I didn't know you played.
45:18Oh, uh, I don't.
45:21I just figured my life's pretty much a country song anyway,
45:24so might as well learn.
45:28Well, I brought you missing homework assignments.
45:32Gee, thanks.
45:33Hey, you're welcome.
45:35Oh, 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?
45:46Hey, 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'll be better.
45:59Okay.
46:02I think this could work.
46:03Yeah, it's perfect.
46:07I guess you're missing.
46:09Max, this is great.
46:14All right, thanks.
46:15You sure you can pull this off?
46:17Oh, hacking into a school network is cake.
46:19Hey, you ready?
46:45I think so.
46:47Don't worry.
46:48Don't worry.
46:49You're going to be great.
46:53Okay.
46:54Let's do this.
47:00All 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.
47:38It happened over 300 years ago.
47:39One of Shakespeare's most...
47:40Resulted in the 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.
47:50And these fits disturbed local authorities.
47:52What'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.
48:16Well, 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.
48:44Over 200 people were accused of witchcraft.
48:4720 were hung.
48:49The colony eventually admitted that the witch trials were a mistake.
48:53But...
48:53You'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...
49:06Forget 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.
49:17All 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...
49:40People were believing the lie so much that they started attacking me.
49:44And other than my mom...
49:47I had no one to believe in me.
49:52So...
49:52We ran away.
49:55And it didn't help like I thought it would.
49:57And for those of you that have heard anything about me in the last few days...
50:01You already know that.
50:07And if history has 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.
50:18But they are out there.
50:21And if history has taught me anything...
50:22Is that there are those people out there that love to watch others suffer.
50:26Loyalty fades under pressure.
50:27And there are very few knights out there that are willing to fight for you.
50:32But they are out there.
50:33But you know what?
50:34My past...
50:35My past...
50:36My past...
50:37My past...
50:38My past...
50:39My past...
50:40My past...
50:41My past...
50:42My past...
50:43My past...
50:45My past...
50:47My past...
50:48My past...
50:49I...
50:49It isn't the end of the world.
50:52Better things are in store.
50:54I 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 and 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...
51:13All it took to destroy someone that you didn't like...
51:15Was to call them a witch.
51:18And today...
51:18you just make up some other lie.
51:23Essentially, 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
51:37whether you want to think and feel for yourself
51:38or wait till I drown.
51:43Mystery is what you make of it, right?
51:44So I'm making sure that mine is the truth.
52:05Hi, my 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?
52:18So 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,
52:28I was almost like friends.
52:35Do you want to say something to me?
52:38Say it to my face!
52:41That's them.
52:44Because I'm on top of the world, hey.
52:47I'm on top of the world, hey.
52:50Waiting on this for a while now.
52:52Paying my dues to the dust.
52:55I've been waiting to smile, hey.
52:57The whole day ain't for a while, hey.
52:59Stand for me, feel like I'm getting it.
53:02Been dreaming of this since I'm trying.
53:03So, now that things are fine with you and Ashley,
53:13do you think it would crank up the awkwardness
53:16if you and I went out on a date?
53:21Yes, definitely.
53:22I'll tell you.
53:26She's a strong girl.
53:31She can handle it.
53:35Besides, I think she likes this.
