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?
00:04:01Thanks, but no thanks.
00:04:04I can take care of myself.
00:04:07Really?
00:04:07You 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.
00:04:20And how would you protect me?
00:04:25I 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.
00:04:39Right, 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?
00:05:09Oh, you'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?
00:05:21Oh.
00:05:39You're right.
00:05:49There 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?
00:06:13That fucking mouth of yours.
00:06:22I pay all your bills and you give me shit?
00:06:26You 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.
00:06:32Please, 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 were so pleased with your numbers.
00:06:46Remember that.
00:06:47Speaking of, we're throwing a party here this weekend.
00:06:53So invite all your little high school friends.
00:06:56I want a big crowd.
00:06:58I got a new shipment of bills coming in and I need my best salesman to be there to push them.
00:07:04Am I clear?
00:07:04You 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,
00:07:32that means she'll have to beat you for valedictorian the old-fashioned way.
00:07:35And we all know that'll never happen.
00:07:42You 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?
00:07:52I 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.
00:08:09Can we do that?
00:08:09Let's see.
00:08:10We'll see.
00:08:10.
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 from the robotics lab.
00:09:05It's where I just was.
00:09:07Oh, okay.
00:09:08Ava, I get it.
00:09:10All right, academics, that's your thing.
00:09:11Just like soccer is mine.
00:09:12And, you know, normally I wouldn't ask you to help me cheat on anything.
00:09:15But this is temporary.
00:09:16I just gotta...
00:09:18I gotta get through soccer season into spring semester with my scholarship intact so I can graduate.
00:09:23Spring semester?
00:09:24Too late for Jessica to catch up with me.
00:09:30For valedictorian.
00:09:31Yeah, I know.
00:09:36If we're gonna be in a fake relationship, we have to discuss parameters.
00:09:41Set up some ground rules.
00:09:42Deal.
00:09:44Shall we seal it with a kiss?
00:09:46Rule number one.
00:09:47Nothing physical.
00:09:49Well, come on.
00:09:50No, I mean it, Hunter.
00:09:51Our clothes are staying on.
00:09:53I can think of plenty of things we can do with our clothes still on.
00:09:59I mean, 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.
00:10:07Which leads me to rule number two.
00:10:09No other hookups.
00:10:11If we're a couple, we're into each other and only each other.
00:10:15All right.
00:10:16Then rule number three.
00:10:18No catching feelings.
00:10:19I don't want you getting all lovey-dovey on me.
00:10:21No problem.
00:10:24And I think, you know, if you're gonna be my girlfriend, you gotta look the part.
00:10:29What?
00:10:30You gonna give me a makeover or something?
00:10:34Something like that.
00:10:39Hey, Jessica.
00:10:40I heard your ex is now dating that pick-me-prude Ava.
00:10:44Like anyone would ever date Ava.
00:10:48Have you seen her?
00:10:49She dresses like a troll with a personality to match.
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54Total boner, girl.
00:10:56Exactly.
00:10:57Damn, who's that?
00:10:58Is that Ava?
00:11:12She looks like a troll?
00:11:17She did not know.

00:11:25She looks like some She looks like a she is a girl.
00:11:30She looks like a troll.
00:11:33She looks like a character pojaw trigger.
00:11:35That doesn't know she is a girl.
00:11:37She looks like you don't know if she's wearing insignia.
00:11:39And if she sees a girl?

00:14:45and not throwing me into the lion's den yeah well we have to keep up the ruse somehow
00:14:49speaking of pucker up buttercup
00:15:01babe not here okay let's let's go to the nurse's office
00:15:14when do you think this place will be done with renovations hopefully never
00:15:42you think this place will be done with the nurse's office
00:15:45you think this place will be done with the nurse's office
00:15:46so how long do we have to stay in here in order to sell it
00:15:52about an hour i'd say is that how long you stay with girls you actually like
00:15:59i don't bring girls in here but this is like the prime time like hookup spot on campus
00:16:06yeah but like you i actually have standards
00:16:13can i ask you a question are you a virgin
00:16:19you don't have to answer that i'm just you know i'm curious because
00:16:23you're a pretty girl and 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 i'll find another engineering student and he'll help me change the world for the better
00:16:38i'll also dabble in some regency romance novels and look like a young timothy chalamet
00:16:44so the exact opposite of me
00:16:47what about you then
00:16:51plenty of hookups no real girlfriends
00:16:54you really a man whore
00:16:57you wanna find out
00:17:01what if i do
00:17:13do you really think that line would work
00:17:27huh
00:17:28it did on jessica
00:17:32let me guess your situation shift ended so bad that you swore off real dating forever
00:17:40no
00:17:41no
00:17:42i mean it was bad like definitely bad but i think it's uh i think it's more to do with with uh with money
00:17:49i'm at this school on scholarship and i lose a scholarship i lose the opportunity to play in front of college scouts
00:17:56and if i lose that opportunity i can't go to college because obviously you know i don't have a college fund even though i work a bunch of jobs
00:18:04but it's like at the end of the month when the bills come in all my money's just gone
00:18:08so i guess my point is that i can afford a girlfriend
00:18:15for the record
00:18:21the right girl won't care about money
00:18:24she'll just want someone who cares
00:18:27and
00:18:28you know not to
00:18:30give you a bigger ego than you already have
00:18:33but
00:18:34i think you'd actually make a pretty
00:18:36okay boyfriend

00:18:52dish already
00:18:53tell me what happened in the nurse's office

00:22:52hey i build robots to help people
00:22:55okay these can help visually impaired users do everyday tasks
00:22:59see this part right here it provides a color recognition and if the user presses this button here it uses a voice app to say out loud the color of the objects in their hand
00:23:08best of all these can help recognize the value of money if the user wants to use cash to buy something and it can even help with self defense
00:23:18it can really do all that
00:23:19it can really do all that
00:23:21well it should i i these 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 is like 15k
00:23:30damn i gotta get into robotics
00:23:32the money can help expand my work

00:27:16Now, you're already on your second.
00:27:22Cheers.
00:27:24Trick of the trade.
00:27:26Oh, soccer's too important to be hungover all the time.
00:27:31Doesn't it get annoying?
00:27:32Pretending all the time.
00:27:34Pretending to drink.
00:27:35Pretending you're not as smart as you really are.
00:27:38Pretending you're not a total softbie.
00:27:41Don't want my cover?
00:27:43I used to hate being unpopular.
00:27:46It gets lonely sometimes.
00:27:50But at least I can never pretend to be anything but me.
00:27:53Hunter, 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.
00:28:06I'll be back in a minute.
00:28:08Okay.
00:28:17I don't like to be kept waiting.
00:28:20I 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.
00:28:33My boy is coming with some dope.
00:28:34Then we're heading right back out there to push.
00:28:36I still got pills.
00:28:37I can get them all out tonight.
00:28:38No.
00:28:39Fresh shipment just came in.
00:28:41New suppliers, new shit.
00:28:44Saw it that you brought a girl, by the way.
00:28:47Pretty little thing.
00:28:49She's not going to be a problem now, is she?
00:28:50No, she doesn't matter, no.
00:29:00Good.
00:29:00Good.
00:29:20What, did the cops recruit you or something?
00:29:24Are you here to narc on us, get us all arrested?
00:29:27I'm here with Hunter.
00:29:36So that's how you've been keeping up with me.
00:29:42I'd say eat a dick, but we both know no guy would ever touch you.
00:29:46Hunter can dress you up all you want.
00:29:53But everyone at this party knows you'll always be below us.
00:29:57Hunter accepts me just fine.
00:30:00And he wants to touch me.
00:30:03Please.
00:30:06You barely even know him.
00:30:09Where is he right now?
00:30:13That's what I thought.
00:30:14He's already gotten bored of you.
00:30:18Gone back to his own kind.
00:30:21Where do you think you are going?
00:30:28What the hell are you doing?
00:30:31Reminding you of your place.
00:30:39God.
00:30:41Do you mind?
00:30:42I can't believe you're bleeding all over me.
00:30:45I don't want to catch whatever diseases you have.
00:30:48What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:54Just proving a point.
00:30:57You're too delicate.
00:30:59Too weak to be with someone like Hunter.
00:31:01Ava, darling, huh?
00:31:27Those high school girls, man.
00:31:33They'll get your ass in a lot of trouble.
00:31:36Which reminds me.
00:31:38Do you remember that girl that Declan started to bring around the warehouse last year?
00:31:43Lauren Cabot?
00:31:43Yeah, Lauren.
00:31:46Sweet girl.
00:31:48Too bad she didn't know how to keep her mouth shut.
00:31:52Heard her asking way too many questions.
00:31:55And then that overdose.
00:32:00What did you do?
00:32:01All I did was offer her a couple pills.
00:32:05How was I supposed to know that she was going to be mixing them?
00:32:09Word of advice.
00:32:11Keep your shit separate.
00:32:13I would just hate to see your new girlfriend getting way over her head.
00:32:18Holy shit, that's going to take forever to move.
00:32:37You got two weeks.
00:32:39That's impossible.
00:32:40It better not be.
00:32:48Good.
00:32:50Now you get this done before the next shipment comes in.
00:32:53And there's a bonus way.
00:32:55The powers that be are interested in expansion.
00:32:58Big time.
00:33:00And that means taking care of my guys.
00:33:03Hey!
00:33:04So you left me to hang out with your asshole friends?
00:33:06We're supposed to be dating, remember?
00:33:10I know, I know.
00:33:11Because I'm keeping up my end of the deal.
00:33:13Doing all your work.
00:33:15I had to, okay?
00:33:15You just don't understand.
00:33:16Meanwhile, I just got eaten alive in there.
00:33:18I mean, look at what your psycho ex just did.
00:33:20Fuck.
00:33:22I'm sorry, Ava.
00:33:23I wish I could have been in there.
00:33:24I really do.
00:33:24Can we just go, please?
00:33:26Somewhere else?
00:33:27Anywhere else?
00:33:29Is there a problem over here?
00:33:32Who the hell are you?
00:33:34None of your fucking business, sweetheart.
00:33:38I thought you said she didn't matter.
00:33:42Oh, I know.
00:33:43I hurt you.
00:33:44I hurt you.
00:33:46Go inside and wait for me.
00:33:49You do what I say.
00:33:54Attaboy.
00:34:02We're done.
00:34:04It's over.
00:34:04What? No, Ava, that was...
00:34:05What the hell am I getting out of the deal?
00:34:07You won't even protect me from your own friends.
00:34:09I'm trying, okay?
00:34:10You just don't know everything.
00:34:11I know what I see.
00:34:13And it's bullshit.
00:34:16Just like one of your assignments.
00:34:18Something you start but can't finish.
00:34:21Ava, don't...
00:34:21I know what I see.
00:34:22It's fine.
00:34:23I know what I see.
00:34:25I know what I see.
00:34:29I know...
00:34:29What's...
00:34:30I know that thisedes have didn't tell me you...
00:34:31I know, I know I don't know.
00:34:33I know.
00:34:36I know what I see.
00:34:37That's not good.
00:34:38I'm sorry.
00:34:39Red. Apples. Only.
00:35:09What? Where have you been?
00:35:37Does it matter? I'm here now.
00:35:41It's too late. I finished the test and I have to get to first period.
00:35:44Then what do you want from me, Ava?
00:35:46What is wrong with you?
00:35:48I'm just so tired of you judging, judging, judging all the time.
00:35:52Thinking you're so much better than everyone else. Better than me.
00:35:55I've never thought that about you.
00:36:01Lily, you're really worrying me.
00:36:04Save it. Worry about yourself.
00:36:09Hey. I know you don't want to talk to me. Just so I can, you know, keep up my end of the deal.
00:36:28After the whole Jessica thing, I just want you to be able to protect yourself.
00:36:40Ava.
00:36:41I'm really sorry. I, uh, I did the reading.
00:36:55You read their eyes were watching God.
00:37:00Okay. Maybe I listened to the audio book, but remember that part after chapter eight, like just after Joe dies?
00:37:07It got me thinking about how sometimes you don't realize you're treating someone like shit until after it's too late.
00:37:13And you know, you wish you could have realized sooner.
00:37:16And I guess I just realized, you know, I wish I realized sooner.
00:37:22Well, better late than never, I guess.
00:37:29Do you want to go eat lunch?
00:37:36You know, I'm going to be alone and I thought maybe you are going to be alone or actually, maybe you're not.
00:37:42I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I like that.
00:38:01What is it with all the people I care about just suddenly forgoing basic self-care?
00:38:06So you care about me?
00:38:08Don't get a big head about it.
00:38:10You're like a stray dog that looks tough, but rarely just wants a belly rub.
00:38:15Does this mean we can be friends?
00:38:18Sure. Friends.
00:38:27I don't have many friends that look at me like that.
00:38:29No, I wasn't, but...
00:38:32Anyways, um, I didn't finish your assignment.
00:38:36But I did tell you how to finish it yourself.
00:38:40Quickly, too.
00:38:41So it doesn't take up too much time away from your soccer practice.
00:38:45Well...
00:38:55That's really nice of you, Ava.
00:39:01You know, I think we better get to class.
00:39:08Before we're late.
00:39:10You know, because I'm really into that kind of stuff now.
00:39:13Ready for a while in theflight.
00:39:19I'm really excited.
00:39:22Let me review it in the other way.
00:39:25Let me see.
00:39:58Lily?
00:40:04Lily?
00:40:11Lily!
00:40:13Lily!
00:40:15Lily!
00:40:15Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Lily, Lily!
00:40:18Okay, come on, Lily, stay with me, please.
00:40:20Oh, my God.
00:40:24God, Lily!
00:40:25Lily, hey, hey, hey.
00:40:27Come on, stay with me.
00:40:28Lily, stay with me.
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, hey!
00:40:40Lily.
00:40:45Please, send an ambulance.
00:40:46My best friend, she took something,
00:40:48and she's not waking up.
00:40:50Help!
00:40:51Help, please!
00:40:51Help, please!
00:40:52I don't know.
00:41:22I don't know.
00:41:52I can take this.
00:41:55What you need?
00:41:56I got you.
00:41:57I can take this.
00:42:26I can take this.
00:42:27I can take this.
00:42:28I can take this.
00:42:29I can take this.
00:42:30I just talked to her parents, but God, if I would have given her the Narcan any later, she has to go to like some sober high school or something and I'll have no one.
00:42:43I'm so sorry.
00:42:47I had no idea.
00:42:49I had no idea.
00:42:50There's a silver lining at least.
00:42:55I made an anonymous call to the principal.
00:42:58They're doing a drug search of Declan's locker first thing tomorrow morning.
00:43:01I can take this.
00:43:02I can take this.
00:43:03I can take this.
00:43:04I can take this.
00:43:06It's clean.
00:43:17All right, everyone.
00:43:18Foster and Laurel.
00:43:19Let's move it along.
00:43:20Back to class.
00:43:23Do 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.
00:43:36When I find out who did this, and I will find out,
00:43:41you are going to pay.
00:43:58Oh, damn it.
00:44:01Gotta win it for the both of us now.
00:44:06Why didn't you get out of the hospital?
00:44:12About an hour ago.
00:44:1472-hour hold let up.
00:44:16I just came to school to pick up my stuff.
00:44:19Look, I know I ruined my life, but I...
00:44:24That's not true.
00:44:26It's always possible to start over.
00:44:29And you still have me?
00:44:30Yeah.
00:44:31Thanks for saving my life, by the way.
00:44:34Just don't make me do it again.
00:44:35I should go.
00:44:38My mom and dad are waiting.
00:44:40See you soon.
00:44:41See you soon.
00:44:56That 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.
00:45:29Ava didn't orchestrate the drug search.
00:45:31Come on, bro.
00:45:33Right.
00:45:34Now, if you didn't bring in that shady shipment,
00:45:37none of this shit would have happened.
00:45:39Fentanyl?
00:45:39I never agreed to sell that shit, bro.
00:45:41Keep your fucking voice down.
00:45:44You don't like it?
00:45:45You can leave.
00:45:46Yeah?
00:45:47I'll leave.
00:45:47I want out.
00:45:51That's fine.
00:45:53You can go.
00:45:54I'm not tripping.
00:45:56Just as soon as you pay me back for what you haven't sold.
00:45:58What?
00:46:03That money's got to come from somewhere, Hunter.
00:46:06You or your customers.
00:46:08I'll let you decide which.
00:46:11And don't worry.
00:46:12I'm not going to touch Ava.
00:46:14I'm letting the girls figure it out themselves.
00:46:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:35And I'm getting really tired of you insulting my intelligence.
00:46:46Fine.
00:46:50I did it.
00:46:51I called in the drug search.
00:46:53Happy?
00:46:55Oh, you're not going anywhere.
00:46:58You're going to pay for what you just tried to do to my family.
00:47:02And hey.
00:47:05Maybe this will take you out of the valedictorian race, too.
00:47:15Ava!
00:47:16What happened?
00:47:19Are you okay?
00:47:20I'm fine.
00:47:20I'm fine.
00:47:20I'm going to kill you, Ava, darling!
00:47:25Come on.
00:47:35We can hang here without anyone asking questions.
00:47:39My mom and my sister are in Arizona again.
00:47:43It's better than my place.
00:47:44My parents would ask a million questions.
00:47:49I thought they trusted you.
00:47:52They do.
00:47:54But 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?
00:48:09Oh, just like a trip they go on every few weeks.
00:48:13It's because she's sick, right?
00:48:18Your sister, Leah?
00:48:20Oh.
00:48:20How do you know that?
00:48:22How do you know that?
00:48:27I found this in your mom's jacket.
00:48:36It's from her first hospital visit.
00:48:37I don't know why my mom keeps this stuff.
00:48:41I get it.
00:48:47Sometimes painful things are important to hold on to.
00:48:50She has leukemia.
00:48:56She's had it since she was a kid.
00:49:01And, you know, it went away, but a couple years ago it came back.
00:49:04And I guess since then everything's kind of just falling apart.
00:49:12Like, uh, my mom can only work a part-time job because 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 offered to drop out of school and work full-time.
00:49:29But my mom refuses.
00:49:30She says Leah's going to grow up, Hunter, and, you know, she's going to need a role model.
00:49:41Some role model I am, you know.
00:49:43You're a good guy, Hunter, but your friends, your friends are psycho.
00:49:48Why do you even hang out with them?
00:49:52Loyalty?
00:49:53Nostalgia, I guess?
00:49:54I don't know.
00:49:55I mean, we were close when we were kids.
00:49:57But, you know, I guess I feel like you a lot of the time.
00:50:02You know how you said if you didn't have Lily, you'd have no one?
00:50:06Yeah, I...
00:50:09I don't know.
00:50:09I feel like I'm alone.
00:50:13Most of the time, honestly.
00:50:21Well, I guess it's good we have each other, then.
00:50:29Well, 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.
00:51:02Oh, yeah, I forgot.
00:51:04Besides, I think we might have just broken your rule, too.
00:51:11Unless you're not feeling the same things I'm feeling.
00:51:15Um...
00:51:21Right.
00:51:22Okay.
00:51:23My mistake.
00:51:25Emotions are running high today.
00:51:27You'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.
00:51:48But I promise you there's feelings.
00:51:51You make me feel brave enough to feel them.
00:51:54You make me feel brave, too.
00:51:56I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:51:56I'm sorry, I'm just...
00:51:57I'm just really bad at talking about this stuff.
00:51:59If you don't want to talk, that's okay.
00:52:19Why don't you show me?
00:52:20I thought you said you wanted to wait.
00:52:25Hunter, I trust you.
00:52:29Who knows when that will ever happen again.
00:52:35And I always want to be someone you can trust.
00:52:40Always.
00:52:41We'll go slow, right?
00:53:05Mm-hmm.
00:53:06Slow as you want.
00:53:08And we can stop anytime.
00:53:09Okay.
00:53:13I'm ready.
00:53:24This feels good.
00:53:26I mean, it, like, tickles, but in a good way, you know?
00:53:31Should I...
00:53:32Should I take off my clothes?
00:53:34You know, because...
00:53:35Ava.
00:53:35I don't know.
00:53:36I don't know.
00:53:37I don't know.
00:53:38I don't know.
00:53:38I don't know.
00:53:39I don't know.
00:53:39I don't know.
00:53:40I don't know.
00:53:40I don't know.
00:53:41I don't know.
00:53:41I don't know.
00:53:42I don't know.
00:53:42I don't know.
00:53:43I don't know.
00:53:43I don't know.
00:53:44I don't know.
00:53:45I don't know.
00:53:45I don't know.
00:53:46I don't know.
00:53:47I don't know.
00:53:47I don't know.
00:53:48I don't know.
00:53:49I don't know.
00:53:49I don't know.
00:53:50I don't know.
00:53:51I don't know.
00:53:52I don't know.
00:53:53I don't know.
00:53:54I don't know.
00:53:55I don't know.
00:53:56I don't know.
00:54:27Can 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.
00:54:49Okay, 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?
00:55:08I'm saying of course.
00:55:10Okay, 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 gonna be on something else.
00:55:46I just have to drop something off.
00:55:51Something I should have dropped off a long time ago.
00:55:53All right.
00:55:55Are you okay?
00:55:56You seem nervous.
00:55:58No, I've just, I've never been on a real date before.
00:56:00Can I just come with you?
00:56:13Do you still trust me?
00:56:16I still trust you.
00:56:17No, you don't trust me.
00:56:19I just want to stop him.
00:56:20Go.
00:56:20I don't know.
00:56:50Hey, who's there?
00:57:20Jesus, dude, you scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here?
00:57:45Hunter? Where are you?
00:57:50Drew was worried you'd do something stupid. He told me to watch the place. I guess he
00:58:07was right.
00:58:10Ava.
00:58:20Please, 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
00:58:26the 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. As soon as I found out the pills had fentanyl in my
00:58:36stop. That's why I'm here. I'm giving everything back. Ava, I can't do this shit anymore.
00:58:40I don't want to do this shit anymore. You showed me that I can be better, Ava.
00:58:47I want to trust you. You still lied to me.
00:58:53Okay, I'm not asking you to trust me right now. I'm asking you to give me a chance to
00:58:57prove that you can. Because I love you, Ava.
00:59:02Don't, don't say that if you don't mean it. I mean it. I love you too.
00:59:30As long as I have you, I don't care what happens to me next.
00:59:36You know what we have to do, right? We have to go to the cops now.
00:59:43Look who we have here. Two for the price of one.
00:59:55I told you I wanted out. You really thought it was going to be that easy?
01:00:00I, I, I, I. Where do you think you're going?
01:00:08Hey, let her go!
01:00:09Trust me, that next shot won't be in the air.
01:00:18Trust me, that next shot won't be in the air.
01:00:35To the warehouse. Now.
01:00:37Hold, Hunter. The hell is wrong with you guys? This is crazy.
01:00:56No, this is survival. Look who it is.
01:01:10Hit her, baby.
01:01:14Ava! That's my girl.
01:01:16Tyra? Tyra.
01:01:23Hunter!
01:01:24Fucking let her go!
01:01:25Inside! Now!
01:01:26Come on, man. Don'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. What am I supposed to do about it, huh?
01:01:57I don't...
01:01:58If they go down, they're gonna take me down with them.
01:02:08Bitch!
01:02:13We have to do something.
01:02:15They can't pull this shit again.
01:02:17Hey, don't worry, baby.
01:02:19I know just what to do.
01:02:27You're afraid, aren't you?
01:02:36Fuck off.
01:02:37You are.
01:02:39You're always afraid.
01:02:40Not just now.
01:02:43That's why you have to crawl and scrape and bite for power every chance you get.
01:02:48Deep down inside,
01:02:50you're more afraid than anyone else.
01:02:53And now you've shacked up with this psycho?
01:02:55Jessica, you don't have to do this.
01:02:57You can still...
01:02:58I said shut up!
01:03:01Gagger.
01:03:02Ava's a good person, Declan. She doesn't deserve it.
01:03:03She saved me, man. She showed me that I'm not alone.
01:03:04That's what I thought, too.
01:03:05Ava's a good person, Declan. She doesn't deserve it.
01:03:09She saved me, man. She showed me that I'm not alone.
01:03:10That's what I thought, too. About Lauren.
01:03:11Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:12That's what I thought, too. About Lauren.
01:03:13Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:14I really loved her.
01:03:15That's what I thought, too. About Lauren.
01:03:16Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:17I really loved her.
01:03:18That's what I thought, too. About Lauren.
01:03:19Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:23I really loved her.
01:03:24You know, these are the pieces,brake.
01:03:25Here's what I thought.
01:03:29Ava's a good person, Declan. She doesn't deserve it.
01:03:32She saved me, man. She showed me that I'm not alone.
01:03:33That's what I thought, too. About Lauren.
01:03:35Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:40I really loved her.
01:03:47You know, these are the pills your friend, Lily, took.
01:03:56The same pills that caused the OD you saved her from.
01:04:02Too bad she isn't here to return the favor.
01:04:07Wait, what?
01:04:09What are you doing?
01:04:11I'm doing what needs to be done.
01:04:14Drew, you can't do this again.
01:04:17And why not?
01:04:18I got away with the last song.
01:04:23Please, Declan, don't let them hurt Ava.
01:04:26Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:04:39Do you have a better idea?
01:04:46I'm going to have a lot of fun making sure you choke this down.
01:04:57Baby, I...
01:04:58Come here, 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.
01:05:13Jessica, please.
01:05:19Oh, my God.
01:05:21Oh, my God.
01:05:21Oh, my God.
01:05:28Hunter?
01:05:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:38Ava, no, don't do this to me.
01:05:40Come on, Ava, don't do this.
01:05:42Don't do this to me, bro.
01:05:49Hunter, what are you doing?
01:05:50911, I need help.
01:05:57Cops?
01:05:58How do you...
01:05:58You can't do that.
01:05:58I don't fucking care.
01:06:01I'm at 5246 Pine Lane.
01:06:03You got to 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?
01:06:20Run.
01:06:28Run!
01:06:29Run!
01:06:38Don't do this to me.
01:06:39Come on, don't do this.
01:06:50There she is.
01:06:59You flew in for my graduation?
01:07:05Great speech.
01:07:07Wasn't a dry eye in the house.
01:07:08They're all just impressed because I got shot.
01:07:11Can 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.
01:07:22You'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.
01:07:38He 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.
01:07:54Of 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, doesn't exactly have a romantic ring to it.
01:08:30So 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.
01:08:41I'm sure I'm the last person he's thinking of right now.
01:08:44I'm pretty sure that's not true.
01:08:50I should go.
01:08:51I can't even be alone for five minutes
01:08:53without 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.
01:09:05Who needs drugs when you've got action like that?
01:09:09Kidding.
01:09:12I love you, you know.
01:09:14I love you too, Lils.
01:09:15I love you too, Lils.
01:09:16I love you too, Lils.
01:09:17I love you too, Lils.
01:09:18I love you too, Lils.
01:09:19I love you too, Lils.
01:09:20I love you too, Lils.
01:09:21I love you too, Lils.
01:09:22I love you too, Lils.
01:09:23I love you too, Lils.
01:09:24I love you too, Lils.
01:09:25I love you too, Lils.
01:09:26I love you too, Lils.
01:09:27I love you too, Lils.
01:09:28I love you too, Lils.
01:09:29I love you too, Lils.
01:09:30I love you too, Lils.
01:09:31I love you too, Lils.
01:09:32I love you too, Lils.
01:09:33I love you too, Lils.
01:09:34I love you too, Lils.
01:09:35I love you too, Lils.
01:09:36I love you too, Lils.
01:09:37Lillie? Lillie?
01:09:51Lillie?
01:09:56Hey.
01:09:59What are you doing here, Hutch?
01:10:03I'm gonna kill Lillie.
01:10:05Please don't. She was actually a really good wing woman, apart from her wanting me to
01:10:10sing you a Frankie Valli song. I thought it was a bit too much, and, you know, I can't
01:10:16sing for shit.
01:10:21You look good.
01:10:23So do you.
01:10:28Eva, I'm so sorry. Like, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness.
01:10:31Look at me.
01:10:32What?
01:10:32You saved me, Hunter. You saved me.
01:10:38No, we saved each other.
01:10:41If it wasn't for our fake relationship, I never would have gotten out of that life.
01:10:46You're welcome.
01:10:50So, what now? Are you gonna re-enroll next fall somewhere, or?
01:10:54I actually managed to get my GED while in prison.
01:10:58What?
01:10:59Yeah.
01:10:59Oh, but that's incredible, Hunter.
01:11:00Mm-hmm. Well, the smartest girl I know taught me how to study, so it wasn't too hard.
01:11:04I think I'm just gonna do some independent study next year, reapply to colleges at the end of that.
01:11:12And I can do that from anywhere, so.
01:11:15You know, things are actually looking good for my life.
01:11:19But there's still this one thing I feel like I'm missing.
01:11:23Mm.
01:11:23If that's where you come in, you know, I could really use a good tutor.
01:11:31That could work.
01:11:34Really?
01:11:37Because I could really use a boyfriend.
01:11:41It's come here already.
01:11:47Yeah, I just want her to be forever young.
01:11:52Yeah, I just want her to be forever young.
01:11:58I'm off the ground, no one can stop me now.
01:12:02Yeah, I just want her to be forever young.
01:12:05All right.
01:12:21I'll see you guys next time.
