00:00:00Hey, Ava Darling.
00:00:16Declan, what are you doing?
00:00:17That's a beautiful name.
00:00:19Ava Darling.
00:00:22Makes sense, I guess.
00:00:24Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
00:00:28Right. Did you, like, hit your head or something, Declan?
00:00:31You do know how beautiful you are, don't you?
00:00:41You are so not good at that.
00:00:44What?
00:00:45Is that like your first kiss or something?
00:00:48Got him.
00:00:50Oh, my God.
00:00:51I can't believe she thought a guy would actually be interested in her.
00:00:55There's a reason you're a virgin, loser.
00:01:11You guys really need to find new shit to laugh about?
00:01:14Hunter, what the fuck?
00:01:18You good?
00:01:19Enough, everyone.
00:01:24Let's get to class.
00:01:26Go learn something.
00:01:30Hunter.
00:01:32Just a man I wanted to see.
00:01:33Oh, practice ran late.
00:01:43I didn't have time to study.
00:01:46Life lasts longer than the duration of a soccer season.
00:01:49You need to start thinking about your future.
00:01:52And you deserve a future, Hunter.
00:01:55I know you're better than this.
00:01:57One more F, and you're off the team.
00:01:59And finally, please remember, there are Narcon injectors available at the front office.
00:02:07Stay safe and study hard.
00:02:10Don't you know it's not enough to be smart anymore?
00:02:13You're going to have to be willing to play dirty, too.
00:02:16Is that why you keep cheating your way to valedictorian?
00:02:18Just because you're the frontrunner now, doesn't mean you won't have a little accident for the school year's out.
00:02:26You know, it was so easy to get you alone with my cousin this morning.
00:02:32You know, he's not afraid to beat up a girl.
00:02:36You should keep that in mind.
00:02:37You should keep that in mind.
00:03:07Ava, can I talk to you?
00:03:13It's Hunter.
00:03:14I promise you're safe.
00:03:15Why do you carry around travel-sized, lotion-infused tissues?
00:03:35So I can help damsels in distress like you.
00:03:40No, I'm kidding.
00:03:44My little sister gets nosebleeds, so I just keep them with me.
00:03:49Look, I wanted to ask you if you'd ever consider starting a study group with me.
00:03:54Like, I think we'd be a good team and you could call it, I don't know, payback for helping you out earlier?
00:04:02Thanks, but no thanks.
00:04:04I can take care of myself.
00:04:07Really?
00:04:08Hmm.
00:04:08You know, I heard what Jessica was saying to you out there.
00:04:13I could, um, I could offer you protection.
00:04:18For a couple of those days, you're always good.
00:04:21And how would you protect me?
00:04:23I think Jessica and Declan would, you know, stop bothering you if they thought you were my girlfriend.
00:04:33But aren't you and, um, Jessica...
00:04:36Fuck you.
00:04:37No, not anymore.
00:04:40Right, but why not just friends?
00:04:44Because Jessica and Declan think guys and girls can't, you know, just be friends.
00:04:51So, you want to be my fake boyfriend for protection in exchange for me giving you all the answers to everything?
00:05:00Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
00:05:03I mean, I think it sounds like a good idea.
00:05:05Would you ever be, I don't know, interested in something like that?
00:05:08You're such a man, whore.
00:05:14You know what, Hunter?
00:05:15Why don't you take your offer and shove it up your ass?
00:05:18I don't know.
00:05:38You're right.
00:05:53There he is.
00:05:54My best salesman.
00:05:55I didn't come here to watch you grope your jailbait girlfriend.
00:06:09Fuck off, Hunter.
00:06:10Hey, Drew, you want me to show this kid his place?
00:06:19That fucking mouth of yours.
00:06:22I pay all your bills and you give me shit?
00:06:25You could stand to be a bit more grateful, you know.
00:06:29You're the one who came to me with that pathetic sob story about your little sister.
00:06:34Please, Mr. Carter, you don't understand.
00:06:36She's sick.
00:06:37I need the money.
00:06:40Little bitch.
00:06:41I'd kick your disrespectful ass if my business partners weren't so pleased with your numbers.
00:06:46Remember that.
00:06:48Speaking of, we're throwing a party here this weekend.
00:06:53So invite all your little high school friends.
00:06:55I want a big crowd.
00:06:58I got a new shipment of pills coming in and I need my best salesman to be there to push them.
00:07:04Am I clear?
00:07:05You told Hunter Black to do what?
00:07:24Ava, you need to go back to him, apologize, and accept the deal.
00:07:28Why would I do that?
00:07:29Because if Jessica can't mess with you outside of the classroom, that means she'll have to beat you for valedictorian the old-fashioned way.
00:07:35And we all know that'll never happen.
00:07:37You gotta stop with those.
00:07:44Lauren Cabot overdosed on those last year.
00:07:46Because she was partying, cutting it with other drugs.
00:07:49You don't see me doing that, do you?
00:07:51I still think there's a better way to focus.
00:07:54And I still think you should take Hunter up on his offer.
00:07:58If you hurry, you could catch him after soccer practice.
00:08:01You know what?
00:08:02It's a great idea.
00:08:05Hunter's coach should know that he's been trying to cheat.
00:08:08Hunter's coach should know that he's been trying to cheat.
00:08:38Hunter's coach should know that he's been training for unicorns.
00:08:50Hey!
00:08:53You changed your mind yet?
00:08:56No, I have not.
00:08:59Oh.
00:09:00What is that?
00:09:01Is that Greece?
00:09:02It is Greece.
00:09:03From the robotics lab.
00:09:05It's where I just was.
00:09:07Oh.
00:09:08Okay, if I get it all right academics that's your thing just like soccer is mine
00:09:12And you know normally I wouldn't ask you to help me cheat on anything, but this is temporary
00:09:16I just got a
00:09:18Gotta get through soccer season into spring semester with my scholarship intact so I can graduate
00:09:23Spring semester too late for Jessica to catch up with me
00:09:30For valedictorian yeah
00:09:32If we're gonna be in a fake relationship we have to discuss parameters set up some ground rules deal
00:09:43Shall we seal it with a kiss rule number one nothing physical
00:09:49Well, come on. No, I mean it hunter our clothes are staying on I
00:09:53Can think of plenty of things we can do with our clothes to on I?
00:09:59Mean we have to at least kiss if we're gonna look like a real couple
00:10:03Maybe even a few trips to the nurse's office
00:10:06Fine, which leads me to rule number two
00:10:09No other hookups if we're a couple
00:10:12We're into each other and only each other
00:10:15All right, then rule number three no catching feelings. I don't want you getting all lovey-dovey on me. No problem
00:10:24And I think you know if you're gonna be my girlfriend you gotta you gotta look the part
00:10:29What you gonna give me a makeover or something
00:10:32Something like that
00:10:39Hey, Jessica, I heard your ex is now dating that pick-me-brood Ava
00:10:44Like anyone would ever date Ava
00:10:48Have you seen her?
00:10:50She dresses like a troll with a personality to match. Yeah, it's a little boner girl
00:10:56Exactly
00:10:57Damn, who's that?
00:10:59Is that Ava?
00:11:10Is that Ava?
00:11:12Is that Ava?
00:11:13Is that Ava?
00:11:14Ava?
00:11:15It's a Piaка
00:11:20It's a Peri
00:11:20To the younger age
00:11:22Is that Ava?
00:11:24It's a No
00:11:27Cause it's a Go
00:11:28What? Are you doing charity work now?
00:11:56Nice jacket.
00:11:58It's his mom's.
00:11:59Hmm. Shame to see such a great outfit go absolutely wasted. Even with the new clothes, you're
00:12:07still so painfully... mid.
00:12:12Don't listen to him. You look gorgeous.
00:12:26At least when I win valedictorian, you'll be used to my sloppy seconds.
00:12:36Adorable. Now, if you will please excuse us. Hunter and I have some very important business
00:12:52to attend to. Drew needs us. Right, yeah. Business? Who's Drew?
00:13:01Um, just a soccer thing. I'll see you later for tutoring though, yeah?
00:13:06Hmm.
00:13:07You fucking lying to me? You fucking lying to me?
00:13:19Okay, that's enough, man. No, we don't like doing this shit to you, man. We don't like
00:13:24it, okay? Just pay us the money. Yeah? You know who you work for? No. Drew Carter. You
00:13:29want to piss him off. I promise you. I heard he used a knife on the last kid. You hear that,
00:13:32Hunter? I did hear that. You want to try your luck with Drew? No, you don't. You got one
00:13:36week. You got one week, okay? That means get the fuck out!
00:13:56What's up, sweetly? You guys on the road yet? You think you left it on my bed? Okay,
00:14:04just, um, just hang tight. I'll be there soon. Okay. Yeah.
00:14:23Lily, you need to eat something. The pills always kill my appetite.
00:14:28Hey. Come eat lunch with us?
00:14:33Need I remind you you're supposed to be protecting me from those people and not throwing me into
00:14:46the lion's den? Yeah, well, we have to keep up the ruse somehow. Speaking of, pucker up, buttercup.
00:14:53Babe! Not here. Okay, let's, let's go to the nurse's office.
00:15:06Let's go, babe. How do you do this?
00:15:27Yeah.
00:15:35When do you think this place will be done with renovations?
00:15:41Hopefully never.
00:15:46So, how long do we have to stay in here in order to sell it?
00:15:54About an hour, I'd say.
00:15:56Is that how long you stay with girls you actually like?
00:16:00I don't bring girls in here.
00:16:01But this is like the primetime hookup spot on campus.
00:16:07Yeah, but like you, I actually have standards.
00:16:13Can I ask you a question?
00:16:16Are you a virgin?
00:16:19You don't have to answer that.
00:16:20I'm just, you know, I'm curious because you're a pretty girl
00:16:25and I figure you could get a boyfriend, like a real boyfriend, if you wanted one.
00:16:29I'll get lucky at college next year.
00:16:33I'll find another engineering student and he'll help me change the world for the better.
00:16:39I'll also dabble in some Regency romance novels and look like a young Timothee Chalamet.
00:16:45So the exact opposite of me.
00:16:50What about you then?
00:16:53Plenty of hookups, no real girlfriends.
00:16:56You really a man whore?
00:16:57Do you want to find out?
00:17:12What if I do?
00:17:13Do you really think that line would work?
00:17:29Huh?
00:17:31It did on Jessica.
00:17:34Let me guess.
00:17:35Your situation shift ended so bad that you swore off real dating forever.
00:17:40No, no.
00:17:43I mean, it was bad, like definitely bad, but I think it's, uh, I think it's more to do
00:17:48with, with, uh, with money.
00:17:50I'm at this school on scholarship and if I lose a scholarship, I lose the opportunity to
00:17:56play in front of college scouts.
00:17:57And if I lose that opportunity, I can't go to college because obviously, you know, I
00:18:02don't have a college fund, even though I work a bunch of jobs.
00:18:05But it's like, at the end of the month, when the bills come in, all my money's just gone.
00:18:11So I guess my point is that I can't afford a girlfriend.
00:18:14For the record, the right girl won't care about money.
00:18:26She'll just want someone who cares.
00:18:29And, you know, not to give you a bigger ego than you already have, but I think you'd actually
00:18:36make a pretty okay boyfriend.
00:18:38Come on, dish already.
00:18:53Tell me what happened in the nurse's office.
00:18:56I mean, nothing, really.
00:19:00And I'd believe that if you didn't have these cute little stars floating around in your eyes.
00:19:04We just talked, really.
00:19:08But it was nice, I guess.
00:19:11You know, he's shockingly an okay guy.
00:19:14Well, I always knew that.
00:19:18What are you talking about?
00:19:19Sophomore year, my car got a flat tire in the student parking lot.
00:19:23Everyone who was there started laughing at me because I couldn't change it.
00:19:26Except for Hunter.
00:19:28He actually got down on the ground and showed me how to do it.
00:19:30Speak of the devil.
00:19:39Making myself scarce, I just realized how much I need to pee.
00:19:52I asked my teachers for some extensions.
00:19:55They were all actually pretty cool about it.
00:19:57You know, high school gets a lot easier once you realize the teachers actually want you to succeed.
00:20:03Yeah, well, they gave me all these assignments to redo for a better grade.
00:20:07How long do you think it'll take you?
00:20:09Why?
00:20:09So you can academically hit it and quit it?
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:12Seriously?
00:20:25You can't even pretend to be an exclusive relationship?
00:20:28This is our first fight?
00:20:31What's up, Leah?
00:20:33Who's Leah?
00:20:34You're a smart girl, Eva.
00:20:35I'm sure you can figure it out.
00:20:38Of course I got time.
00:20:38What's going on?
00:20:52Hey.
00:20:53Still mad at me?
00:20:56Why didn't you finish this?
00:20:58That was due day of the rivalry game.
00:21:03It's really good.
00:21:06Holden Caulfield is traumatized.
00:21:08I always thought that just explained why he's such an asshole.
00:21:12But you went a step further.
00:21:15Yeah, I thought that's why he was protecting his sister.
00:21:18I never would have considered it that way.
00:21:20I was impressed.
00:21:23Wow.
00:21:24That's, uh, that's high praise coming from you.
00:21:27But you're lazy.
00:21:29It's honestly such a waste.
00:21:31You know, if you just finished what you started...
00:21:33You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:21:37I'm not lazy.
00:21:39I mean, I just told you how busy I always am.
00:21:42And it's not like it matters anyway.
00:21:44Like, academics isn't going to pay for my college.
00:21:47But you know what will?
00:21:48Soccer.
00:21:49So I spend my time playing soccer.
00:21:51When I'm not trying to survive.
00:21:53Okay, okay.
00:21:54I get it.
00:21:55No, you don't get it, actually.
00:21:57If I'm not playing soccer, I'm, you know, worried sick to death.
00:22:00About my sister helping my mom out.
00:22:02Your sister?
00:22:06Your sister.
00:22:07Leah.
00:22:09I'm an idiot.
00:22:11No, you're not an idiot.
00:22:13It's just...
00:22:14You only have to worry about school.
00:22:17Of course, you're going to be good at it.
00:22:19I'm sorry.
00:22:23For what I said.
00:22:26Okay, I, um...
00:22:27I gotta go to work.
00:22:29Do you want to come with me?
00:22:31You know, we could study there.
00:22:32How do you make money around here?
00:22:45I mean, there's not really anyone here to tip.
00:22:48Yeah, well, you know, soon I won't be able to make money anywhere because of those robots you're making.
00:22:52Hey, I build robots to help people.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:56These can help visually impaired users do everyday tasks.
00:23:00See this part right here?
00:23:02It provides a color recognition.
00:23:03And if the user presses this button here, it uses a voice app to say out loud the color of the objects in their hand.
00:23:10Best of all, the user can help recognize the value of money if the user wants to use cash to buy something.
00:23:16And it can even help with self-defense.
00:23:19It can really do all that?
00:23:21Well, it should.
00:23:21These are just prototypes and I'm still working on the voice app, but it should be finished by the time the All-State Science Fair comes around.
00:23:28Prize money's like 15k.
00:23:30Damn, I gotta get into robotics.
00:23:32The money can help expand my work.
00:23:34And I'll start college next year off with an edge.
00:23:38Gotta admit, this, uh, this nerd shit is actually pretty cool.
00:23:42I am impressed, David, darling.
00:23:45Hm.
00:23:51Okay, um, you know what?
00:23:59I think we should make a public appearance tonight.
00:24:01Gotta make this convincing and that means hanging with a couple of my friends.
00:24:05But, it's a school night.
00:24:08If I think you'd get less shit from people if you just broke the rules once in a while.
00:24:12They have been leaving Lily alone.
00:24:15Since she's been popping pills like every other person here.
00:24:17I'm not saying you gotta do that.
00:24:19I'm just, you know, maybe you should pretend to fit in.
00:24:24Come on.
00:24:41This is a party.
00:24:43You ever been to one of those?
00:24:44I was sixth grade at the arcade count.
00:24:46You just gotta show them you're one of them.
00:24:51How am I supposed to do that?
00:24:52Every time I open my mouth, I manage to insult someone.
00:24:57You know what?
00:25:00I'm talking on the dance floor.
00:25:01Great.
00:25:13They see a hot guy talking to me and assume it's another prank.
00:25:26Great. They see a hot guy talking to me and assume it's another prank.
00:25:31You think I'm hot?
00:25:33You know what you look like.
00:25:38I think I know a way to make them believe we're actually dating.
00:25:42What's that?
00:25:45You trust me?
00:25:52I trust you.
00:25:56I trust you.
00:26:26Human recording now?
00:26:37Who cares?
00:26:39Anyone recording now?
00:26:48Who cares?
00:27:09Look at this, now you're already on your second, cheers, trick of the trade, soccer's too important
00:27:28to be hung over all the time, doesn't it get annoying pretending all the time, pretending
00:27:34to drink, pretending you're not as smart as you really are, pretending you're not a total
00:27:40softbie.
00:27:41Don't want my cover?
00:27:43I used to hate being unpopular, it gets lonely sometimes, but at least I can never pretend
00:27:52to be anything but me.
00:27:54Hunter, there you are.
00:27:58Drew wants a word with you.
00:28:00Fuck.
00:28:01Right now?
00:28:02Please, don't leave me.
00:28:05Just hang here, I'll be back in a minute, okay?
00:28:18I don't like to be kept waiting, I didn't know I was on the clock tonight.
00:28:22Wash the attitude, kid.
00:28:24You work when I tell you to work.
00:28:27Understood?
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29Now, stay here, my boy is coming with some dope, then we're heading right back out there
00:28:36to push.
00:28:37I still got pills, if I can get them all out tonight.
00:28:39No, fresh shipment just came in.
00:28:41New suppliers, new shit.
00:28:45I don't know how you brought a girl, by the way.
00:28:47Pretty little thing.
00:28:49She's not gonna be a problem now, is she?
00:28:53No, she doesn't matter, no.
00:29:00Good.
00:29:04Good.
00:29:04What?
00:29:06Did the cops recruit you or something?
00:29:22what did the cops recruit you or something are you here to narc on us get us all arrested

00:35:53Thinking you're so much better than everyone else, better than me.
00:35:56I've never thought that about you.
00:36:02Lily, you're really worrying me.
00:36:06Save it.
00:36:08Worry about yourself.
00:36:19Hey, I know you don't want to talk to me, but just so I can, you know, keep up my end of the deal.
00:36:33After the whole Jessica thing, I just want you to be able to protect yourself.
00:36:43Ava.
00:36:49I'm really sorry.
00:36:54I, uh, I did the reading.
00:36:58You read Their Eyes Were Watching God.
00:37:01Okay, maybe I listened to the audio book, but remember that part after chapter 8, like just after Joe dies?
00:37:08It got me thinking about how sometimes you don't realize you're treating someone like shit until after it's too late.
00:37:14And, you know, you wish you could have realized sooner.
00:37:16And I guess I just realized, you know, or I, I, I wish I realized sooner.
00:37:26Well, better late than never, I guess.
00:37:34Do you want to go eat lunch?
00:37:38You know, I'm going to be alone, and I thought maybe you are going to be alone, or actually maybe you're not.
00:37:43I'm sorry, I'm just going to go.
00:37:44I like that.
00:37:53What is it with all the people I care about just suddenly foregoing basic self-care?
00:38:06So you care about me?
00:38:08Don't get a big head about it.
00:38:11You're like a stray dog that looks tough, but really just wants a belly rub.
00:38:16Does this mean we can be friends?
00:38:19Sure.
00:38:20Friends.
00:38:20I don't have many friends that look at me like that.
00:38:30No, I wasn't.
00:38:31But, um, anyways, um, I didn't finish your assignment.
00:38:38But I did tell you how to finish it yourself.
00:38:41Quickly, too.
00:38:42So it doesn't take up too much time away from your soccer practice.
00:38:56Oh.
00:38:59That's really nice of you, Ava.
00:39:01You know, I think we, uh, we better get to class before we're late.
00:39:11You know, because I'm really into that kind of stuff now.
00:39:13You know, I'm really into that kind of stuff now.
00:39:43Lily?
00:40:04Lily?
00:40:11Lily!
00:40:13Lily!
00:40:15Lily!
00:40:15Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Lily, Lily!
00:40:17Okay.
00:40:18Come on, Lily, stay with me, please.
00:40:20Oh, my God.
00:40:24God, Lily!
00:40:25Lily, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:40:26Oh, come on, stay with me, stay with me.
00:40:30Okay.
00:40:30Lily, Lily, Lily.
00:40:32Stay with me, please.
00:40:33Hey, hey, hey, hey, stay with me, girl.
00:40:34Stay with me.
00:40:36Come on, please, Lily, please.
00:40:38Hey!
00:40:39Hey!
00:40:41Lily!
00:40:41Please send an ambulance
00:40:46My best friend, she took something
00:40:48And she's not waking up
00:40:49Help, help, please
00:41:11You're a bitch
00:41:30I did, I got her
00:41:32You got her
00:41:33I got her
00:41:41What you need, I got you
00:42:08Whoa, what the hell
00:42:09Did you know all your friends are dealing drugs?
00:42:12What?
00:42:13I called one of their little numbers and Declan picked up
00:42:16Lily overdosed
00:42:18The paramedic said that she had traces of fentanyl in her system
00:42:22Fentanyl?
00:42:25That's, um, that's terrible
00:42:27If I'd...
00:42:28Is she okay?
00:42:29She will be
00:42:30I just talked to her parents, but
00:42:32God, if I would have given her the Narcan any later
00:42:36You know, she has to go to, like, some sober high school or something
00:42:40And
00:42:40I'll have no one
00:42:43I'm so sorry
00:42:47I had no idea
00:42:49There's a sober lining, at least
00:42:54I made an anonymous call to the principal
00:42:57They're doing a drug search of Declan's locker first thing tomorrow morning
00:43:01It's clean
00:43:15All right, everyone
00:43:18Foss and Laura
00:43:19Let's move it along
00:43:20Back to class
00:43:21Do you know how much my parents donated to this school when I got in?
00:43:28You'll be getting a call from them very soon
00:43:31When I find out who did this, and I will find out
00:43:40You are gonna pay
00:43:45Oh, damn it
00:44:00Gotta win it for the both of us now
00:44:04When did you get out of the hospital?
00:44:13About an hour ago
00:44:1472-hour hold let up
00:44:16I just came to school to pick up my stuff
00:44:18Look
00:44:20I know I ruined my life, but
00:44:24That's not true
00:44:25It's always possible to start over
00:44:28And you still have me?
00:44:31Yeah
00:44:31Thanks for saving my life, by the way
00:44:33Just don't make me do it again
00:44:35I should go
00:44:38My mom and dad are waiting
00:44:39See you soon
00:44:41That was soon
00:44:58You know what they say about snitches, right?
00:45:04I warned you, didn't I?
00:45:27I told you to keep your shit separate
00:45:29If we didn't orchestrate the drug search, come on, bro
00:45:31Right
00:45:34Now, if you didn't bring in that shady shipment, none of this shit would've happened
00:45:38Fentanyl?
00:45:39I never agreed to sell that shit, bro
00:45:41Keep your fucking voice down
00:45:43If you don't like it, you can leave
00:45:46Yeah, I'll leave
00:45:47I want out
00:45:48That's fine
00:45:52You can go
00:45:54I'm not tripping
00:45:55Just as soon as you pay me back for what you haven't sold
00:45:58What?
00:46:03That money's gotta come from somewhere, Hunter
00:46:04You
00:46:06Or your customers
00:46:07I'll let you decide which
00:46:10And don't worry
00:46:11I'm not gonna touch Ava
00:46:13I'm letting the girls figure it out themselves
00:46:16But where's Ava?
00:46:20I don't know what you're talking about
00:46:35And I'm getting really tired of you insulting my intelligence
00:46:49Fine
00:46:49I did it
00:46:51I called in the drug search
00:46:52Happy?
00:46:55Oh, you're not going anywhere
00:46:57You're going to pay for what you just tried to do to my family
00:47:00And hey
00:47:03Maybe this will take you out of the valedictorian race, too
00:47:08Ava
00:47:15What happened?
00:47:19Are you okay?
00:47:20I'm fine, I'm fine
00:47:20I'm going to kill you, Ava darling
00:47:23Come on
00:47:26We can hang here without anyone asking questions
00:47:38My mom and my sister are in Arizona again
00:47:42It's better than my place
00:47:45My parents would ask a million questions
00:47:47I thought they trusted you
00:47:50They do
00:47:53But I'm never home this early from the lab
00:47:56They'd know something was wrong
00:47:57Why are your mom and sister in Arizona?
00:48:08Oh, just a trip they go on every few weeks
00:48:13It's because she's sick, right?
00:48:18Your sister, Leah
00:48:19How did you know that?
00:48:27I found this in your mom's jacket
00:48:29It's from her first hospital visit
00:48:37I don't know why my mom keeps this stuff
00:48:41I get it
00:48:45Sometimes painful things are important to hold on to
00:48:50She has leukemia
00:48:56She's had it since she was a kid
00:49:00And, you know, it went away
00:49:02But a couple years ago it came back
00:49:04And I guess
00:49:07Since then everything's kind of just falling apart
00:49:09Like, uh
00:49:13My mom can only work a part-time job
00:49:16Because she's got to take Leah in for all of her treatment
00:49:19So we're stuck in the Section A department
00:49:21And, you know, I
00:49:23I offered to drop out of school and work full-time
00:49:27But my mom refuses
00:49:30She says Leah's going to grow up on her
00:49:32And, you know, she's going to need a role model
00:49:36Some role model I am, you know
00:49:42You're a good guy, Hunter
00:49:44But your friends
00:49:45Your friends are psycho
00:49:47Why do you even hang out with them?
00:49:52Loyalty
00:49:52Nostalgia, I guess
00:49:54I mean, we were close when we were kids
00:49:56But, you know, I guess I feel like you a lot of the time
00:50:01You know how you said
00:50:03If you didn't have Lily, you'd have no one
00:50:05Yeah, I
00:50:07I don't know
00:50:09I feel like I'm alone
00:50:11Most of the time
00:50:14Honestly
00:50:15Well, I guess it's good we have each other then
00:50:29Wait, I'm
00:50:54I know you said nothing physical
00:50:55What, when?
00:50:58Sounds like your first rule, no?
00:51:00Our deal is off, anyway
00:51:01Oh, yeah, I forgot
00:51:03Besides
00:51:04I think we might have just broken your rule, too
00:51:07Unless
00:51:11You're not feeling the same things I'm feeling
00:51:15Um
00:51:21Right
00:51:21Okay
00:51:23My mistake
00:51:24Emotions are running high today
00:51:26You're being nice, and I shouldn't have read into that
00:51:30Ava
00:51:31Make signals much?
00:51:44I'm sorry, I'm just
00:51:45I'm just really bad at talking about this stuff
00:51:47But I promise you there's feelings
00:51:50You make me feel brave enough to feel them
00:51:52You make me feel brave, too
00:51:56If you don't want to talk, that's okay
00:52:16Why don't you show me?
00:52:22I thought you said you wanted to wait
00:52:24Hunter
00:52:25I trust you
00:52:28Who knows when that will ever happen again?
00:52:35I always want to be someone you can trust
00:52:37Always
00:52:41We'll go slow, right?
00:53:05Mm-hmm
00:53:06Slow as you want
00:53:07And we can stop anytime
00:53:09Okay
00:53:12I'm ready
00:53:14This feels good
00:53:25I mean, it, like, tickles
00:53:27But in a good way, you know?
00:53:31Should I
00:53:32Should I take off my clothes?
00:53:34You know, because
00:53:34Ava
00:53:35You know?
00:53:50Oh, my God.
00:54:20Can I say something?
00:54:32Has anyone ever stopped you from saying something?
00:54:35Hey, you like that about me.
00:54:37No, I do. What do you want to say?
00:54:41I'm really starving.
00:54:46Okay, why don't we go on a real date then?
00:54:54See a show and go to a dinner.
00:54:57A show?
00:54:59Okay, like a movie at the discount theater.
00:55:02Are you getting all lovey-dovey on me, Hunter Black?
00:55:06Are you saying yes?
00:55:07I'm saying, of course.
00:55:29Okay, I admit, when you said dinner, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
00:55:32Not that I mind an affordable option.
00:55:37It's just, this is where you work, and I don't want your mind to be on work all night.
00:55:42Trust me, my mind's going to be on something else.
00:55:48I just have to drop something off.
00:55:51Something I should have dropped off a long time ago.
00:55:53All right.
00:55:54Are you okay?
00:55:56You seem nervous.
00:55:58No, I've just, I've never been on a real date before.
00:56:02Can I just come with you?
00:56:13Do you still trust me?
00:56:16I still trust you.
00:56:17Okay.
00:56:24So, do you still trust me?
00:56:43Hey, who's there?
00:57:13Jesus, dude, you scared the shit out of me, what are you doing here?
00:57:38Hunter?
00:57:45Where are you?
00:57:48Drew was worried you'd do something stupid.
00:58:01Told me to watch the place. I guess he was right.
00:58:08Ava?
00:58:15Please, let me explain in the car.
00:58:23I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt, but of course you were involved with this the whole time.
00:58:27No, Ava, Ava, we can't be here right now.
00:58:28Did you sell them to her? The drugs Lily overdosed on?
00:58:31No, I didn't. I promised you I didn't.
00:58:33As soon as I found out the pills had fentanyl in my stock.
00:58:36That's why I'm here. I'm giving everything back.
00:58:38Ava, I can't do this shit anymore. I don't want to do this shit anymore.
00:58:42You showed me that I can be better, Ava.
00:58:48I want to trust you.
00:58:50You still lied to me.
00:58:53Okay, I'm not asking you to trust me right now.
00:58:55I'm asking you to give me a chance to prove that you can.
00:58:58Because I love you, Ava.
00:59:01Don't, don't say that if you don't mean it.
00:59:09I mean it.
00:59:22I love you too.
00:59:24As long as I have you, I don't, I don't care what happens to me next.
00:59:36You know what we have to do, right?
00:59:38We have to go to the cops now.
00:59:43Look who we have here.
00:59:45Two for the price of one.
00:59:54I told you I wanted out.
00:59:56You really thought it was going to be that easy?
01:00:03Where do you think you're going?
01:00:08Hey, let her go!
01:00:24Trust me, that next shot won't be in the air.
01:00:35To the warehouse.
01:00:37Now.
01:00:50Move.
01:00:52Hold, Hunter.
01:00:54What the hell is wrong with you guys?
01:00:56This is crazy.
01:00:57No, this is survival.
01:01:01Look who it is.
01:01:10Hit her, baby.
01:01:14Ava!
01:01:15That's my girl.
01:01:17Tie her up.
01:01:22Hunter!
01:01:24Fucking let her go.
01:01:25Inside!
01:01:26Now!
01:01:37Come on, man.
01:01:38Don't do this.
01:01:39Well...
01:01:42Declan, you killed Lauren.
01:01:45Her OD wasn't an accident, man.
01:01:47He's a monster.
01:01:49I know.
01:01:51You know what he...
01:01:53Aren't you fucking angry?
01:01:55Of course I'm fucking angry.
01:01:56What am I supposed to do about it, huh?
01:01:57You know?
01:01:58If they go down, they're gonna take me down with them.
01:02:00You know?
01:02:01If they go down, they're gonna take me down with them.
01:02:07Shit!
01:02:09We have to do something.
01:02:11They can't pull this shit again.
01:02:12Don't worry, baby.
01:02:13I know just what to do.
01:02:16You're afraid, aren't you?
01:02:17Fuck off.
01:02:18You are.
01:02:19You're always afraid.
01:02:20Not just now.
01:02:21That's why you have to crawl and scrape and bite for power every chance you get.
01:02:22Deep down inside.
01:02:23You're more afraid.
01:02:24You're more afraid.
01:02:25You're more afraid.
01:02:26You're more afraid.
01:02:27You're more afraid.
01:02:28You're more afraid.
01:02:29You're more afraid.
01:02:30You're afraid, aren't you?
01:02:31You're afraid, aren't you?
01:02:32Fuck off.
01:02:33You are.
01:02:34You're always afraid.
01:02:35You're afraid, aren't you?
01:02:36Fuck off.
01:02:37You are.
01:02:38You're always afraid.
01:02:39Not just now.
01:02:41That's why you have to crawl and scrape and bite for power every chance you get.
01:02:47Deep down inside.
01:02:49You're more afraid than anyone else.
01:02:52And now you've shacked up with this psycho.
01:02:55Just cause you don't have to do this, you can still-
01:02:57I said shut up!
01:02:59Gagger.
01:03:01Gagger.
01:03:24Ava's a good person, Declan.
01:03:25She doesn't deserve it.
01:03:28She saved me, man.
01:03:29She showed me that I'm not alone.
01:03:32That's what I thought too.
01:03:34About Lauren.
01:03:36Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:41I really loved her.
01:03:43You know, these are the pills your friend, Lily, took.
01:03:56The same pills that caused the OD you saved her from.
01:04:00Too bad she isn't here to return the favor.
01:04:04Wait, what?
01:04:05What are you doing?
01:04:06I'm doing what needs to be done.
01:04:07Drew, you can't do this again.
01:04:08Then why not?
01:04:09I got away with the last song.
01:04:10Please, Declan.
01:04:11Don't let them hurt Ava.
01:04:12Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:04:13Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:04:14Do you have a better idea?
01:04:15Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:04:16Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:04:18Do you have a better idea?
01:04:39Do you have a better idea?
01:04:41I'm gonna have a lot of fun
01:04:52making sure you choke this down.
01:04:57Baby, I...
01:04:58Oh, Rex, just shoot her!
01:05:04Did you kill them?
01:05:06They're just electrocuted.
01:05:07Unconscious.
01:05:08Well, I have to kill you.
01:05:10Jessica, please.
01:05:11Please, please, don't do this.
01:05:12You don't have to do this, Jessica.
01:05:13Please.
01:05:28Hunter?
01:05:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:38Ava, no, don't do this to me.
01:05:40Hey, come on.
01:05:40Hey, but don't do this.
01:05:42Don't do this to me.
01:05:43Come on.
01:05:49Hunter, what are you doing?
01:05:55Yeah, 911, I need help.
01:05:57Cops?
01:05:58Hunter, you can't do that.
01:05:59I don't fucking care.
01:06:00I'm at 5246 Pine Lane.
01:06:03You gotta hurry.
01:06:09Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:06:11Go, get out of here.
01:06:13Come with me, man.
01:06:14If they find you, they'll arrest you.
01:06:16You'll go to jail.
01:06:18Yeah, would you have left Lauren?
01:06:19Run.
01:06:27Run.
01:06:29Run!
01:06:38Don't do this to me.
01:06:39Come on, don't do this.
01:06:40There she is.
01:06:59You flew in for my graduation?
01:07:00Great speech.
01:07:07Wasn't a dry eye in the house.
01:07:09They're all just impressed because I got shot.
01:07:12Can I see the scar?
01:07:16Went straight through.
01:07:18Didn't even hit a nerve.
01:07:20Doctor said it was a miracle.
01:07:21You're such a badass.
01:07:25And a total genius.
01:07:31So, how about we talk about the elephant in the room?
01:07:35Why haven't you seen Hunter?
01:07:37I heard he just got out of prison.
01:07:41He knows you gave the science fair prize money to his family, right?
01:07:45I'm assuming someone told him.
01:07:48Are you mad at him?
01:07:50No.
01:07:51He gave up everything for me.
01:07:53Of course I'm not mad at him.
01:07:56He saved my life.
01:07:58More than that, he probably saved a bunch of lives.
01:08:01You know, his testimony sent Drew and Rex away for life.
01:08:05And Jessica got ten years.
01:08:06And his cooperation got him a shorter sentence.
01:08:10So you pay him back by completely ghosting him?
01:08:14I didn't know what to say.
01:08:17It's been six months and you always know what to say.
01:08:19How have you not figured out what to say?
01:08:21I don't know, because thank you for saving my life.
01:08:24I'm sorry I ruined yours.
01:08:26Doesn't exactly have a romantic ring to it.
01:08:28So you do still like him?
01:08:36Hunter's got a lot going on.
01:08:38He hasn't seen his family in six months.
01:08:40I'm sure I'm the last person he's thinking of right now.
01:08:43I'm pretty sure that's not true.
01:08:45I should go.
01:08:51I can't even be alone for five minutes without my parents sending out a search party.
01:08:56So, last day of school tomorrow.
01:08:58We still on for our annual tradition of rom-coms and cookie dough.
01:09:02Chocolate chips, Heath Ledger, and no bras.
