00:00:00Hey, Ava Darling.
00:00:15Declan, what are you doing?
00:00:17That's a beautiful name.
00:00:18Ava Darling.
00:00:21Makes sense, I guess.
00:00:24Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
00:00:27Right. 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.
00:00:49Oh, 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.
00:01:14You guys really need to find new shit to laugh about?
00:01:17Hunter, what the fuck?
00:01:21You good?
00:01:22Enough, everyone.
00:01:27Let's get to class.
00:01:29Go learn something.
00:01:33Hunter.
00:01:34Just a man I wanted to see.
00:01:36Oh, practice ran late.
00:01:46I didn't have time to study.
00:01:48Life lasts longer than the duration of a soccer season.
00:01:52You need to start thinking about your future.
00:01:55And you deserve a future, Hunter.
00:01:57I know you're better than this.
00:02:00One more F and you're off the team.
00:02:02And finally, please remember there are Narcon injectors available at the front office.
00:02:10Stay safe and study hard, students.
00:02:12Don't you know it's not enough to be smart anymore?
00:02:15You're going to have to be willing to play dirty, too.
00:02:18Is that why you keep cheating your way to valedictorian?
00:02:20Just because you're the front runner now, doesn't mean you won't have a little accident before the school year's out.
00:02:29You know, it was so easy to get you alone with my cousin this morning.
00:02:35You know, he's not afraid to beat up a girl.
00:02:38You should keep that in mind.
00:02:39You should keep that in mind.
00:03:09Ava, can I talk to you?
00:03:15It's Hunter.
00:03:16I promise you're safe.
00:03:17Why do you carry around travel-sized lotion-infused tissues?
00:03:37So I can help damsels in distress like you?
00:03:46No, I'm kidding.
00:03:46My little sister gets nosebleeds, so I just keep them with me.
00:03:51Look, I wanted to ask you if you'd ever consider starting a study group with me.
00:03:57Like, I think we'd be a good team and you could call it, I don't know, payback for helping you out earlier?
00:04:04Thanks, but no thanks.
00:04:06I can take care of myself.
00:04:09Really?
00:04:09You know, I heard what Jessica was saying to you out there.
00:04:15I could, um, I could offer you protection for a couple of those days you're always getting.
00:04:24And 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.
00:04:35But aren't you and, um, Jessica...
00:04:38Fuck you.
00:04:39No, not anymore.
00:04:40Right, but why not just friends?
00:04:46Because Jessica and Declan think guys and girls can't, you know, just be friends.
00:04:53So, you want to be my fake boyfriend for protection in exchange for me giving you all the answers to everything?
00:05:02Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
00:05:04I mean, I think it sounds like a good idea.
00:05:07Would you ever be, I don't know, interested in something like that?
00:05:10Oh, you're such a man whore.
00:05:15You know what, Hunter?
00:05:17Why don't you take your offer and shove it up your ass?
00:05:19Oh.
00:05:40You're right.
00:05:54There he is.
00:05:56My best salesman.
00:05:57I didn't come here to watch you grope your jailbait girlfriend.
00:06:10Fuck off, Hunter.
00:06:12Hey, Drew, you want me to show this kid his place?
00:06:14That fucking mouth of yours.
00:06:23I pay all your bills and you give me shit?
00:06:27You 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.
00:06:35Please, Mr. Carter, you don't understand.
00:06:38She's sick.
00:06:39I need the money.
00:06:41Little bitch.
00:06:42I'd kick your disrespectful ass if my business partners weren't so pleased with your numbers.
00:06:48Remember that.
00:06:48Speaking of, we're throwing a party here this weekend.
00:06:55So invite all your little high school friends.
00:06:57I want a big crowd.
00:06:59I got a new shipment of bills coming in.
00:07:01I need my best salesman to be there to push them.
00:07:05Am I clear?
00:07:06Mm-hmm.
00:07:09You told Hunter Black to do what?
00:07:25Ava, you need to go back to him, apologize, and accept the deal.
00:07:29Why would I do that?
00:07:30Because if Jessica can't mess with you outside of the classroom,
00:07:33that means she'll have to beat you for valedictorian the old-fashioned way.
00:07:36And we all know that'll never happen.
00:07:39You gotta stop with those.
00:07:45Lauren Cabot overdosed on those last year.
00:07:47Because she was partying, cutting it with other drugs.
00:07:50You don't see me doing that, do you?
00:07:53I still think there's a better way to focus.
00:07:55And I still think you should take Hunter up on his offer.
00:07:59If you hurry, you could catch him after soccer practice.
00:08:02You know what?
00:08:03It's a great idea.
00:08:06Hunter's coach should know that he's been trying to cheat.
00:08:09Who is she watching?
00:08:11I don't know what they're listening to me.
00:08:14If she's doing this alone much soonerens you can look like Halloween .
00:08:19She has done something too and that's fine.
00:08:20Has and I can do this even to it, my wife was even to her after something.
00:08:24I don't know that he's been ways trekking it with you.
00:08:27I got better coaches in old person and still regarder hinged with you.
00:08:28I don't know if you don't do anything lower.
00:08:31But what might your pal said to people?
00:08:33You're a disciple.
00:08:35I can catch him up against him.
00:08:36Hey, you changed your mind yet?
00:08:56No, I have not.
00:08:59Oh, what is that?
00:09:02Is that grease?
00:09:03It is grease from the robotics lab.
00:09:05It's where I just was.
00:09:08Yeah, okay.
00:09:09Ava, I get it.
00:09:10All right, academics, that's your thing.
00:09:11Just like soccer is mine.
00:09:13And, you know, normally I wouldn't ask you to help me cheat on anything.
00:09:16But this is temporary.
00:09:17I just got to get through soccer season into spring semester with my scholarship intact so I can graduate.
00:09:23Spring semester?
00:09:25Too late for Jessica to catch up with me.
00:09:30For valedictorian.
00:09:32Yeah, I know, Ava.
00:09:35If we're going to be in a fake relationship, we have to discuss parameters.
00:09:42Set up some ground rules.
00:09:43Deal.
00:09:44Shall we seal it with a kiss?
00:09:46Rule number one, nothing physical.
00:09:49Well, come on.
00:09:50No, I mean it, Hunter.
00:09:52Our clothes are staying on.
00:09:53I can think of plenty of things we can do with our clothes too long.
00:09:59I mean, we have to at least kiss if we're going to 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.
00:10:14All right.
00:10:16Then rule number three, no 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 going to be my girlfriend, you got to look the part.
00:10:29What?
00:10:30You going to give me a makeover or something?
00:10:31Something like that.
00:10:39Hey, Jessica.
00:10:40I heard your ex is now dating that pick-me-prude Ava.
00:10:45Like anyone would ever date Ava.
00:10:48Have you seen her?
00:10:50She dresses like a troll.
00:10:52With a personality to match.
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54Total boner killer.
00:10:56Exactly.
00:10:57Damn, who's that?
00:11:01Is that Ava?
00:11:31What are you doing charity work now?
00:11:56Nice jacket.
00:11:58It's his mom's.
00:11:59Shame to see such a great outfit go absolutely wasted.
00:12:05Even with the new clothes, you're still so painfully mid.
00:12:13Don't listen to him.
00:12:15You look gorgeous.
00:12:29At least when I win valedictorian, you'll be used to my sloppy seconds.
00:12:44Adorable.
00:12:45Now, if you will please excuse us.
00:12:49Hunter and I have some very important business to attend to.
00:12:52Drew needs us.
00:12:55Right, yeah.
00:12:57Business?
00:12:57Who's Drew?
00:13:00Um, just a soccer thing.
00:13:03I'll see you later for tutoring though, yeah?
00:13:05Mm-hmm.
00:13:05You're fucking lying to me?
00:13:16Fucking lying to me?
00:13:19Cody, that's enough, man.
00:13:21No, we don't like doing this shit to you, man.
00:13:22We don't like it, okay?
00:13:23Just pay us the money.
00:13:25Yeah?
00:13:25You know who you work for?
00:13:27No.
00:13:27Drew Carter.
00:13:28You want to piss him off?
00:13:29I promise you.
00:13:30I heard he used a knife on the last kid.
00:13:31You hear that, Hunter?
00:13:32I did hear that.
00:13:33You want to try your luck with Drew?
00:13:34No, you don't.
00:13:35You got one week.
00:13:36You got one week, okay?
00:13:39That means get the fuck out!
00:13:55What's up, sweetly?
00:13:57You guys on the road yet?
00:14:00You think you left it on my bed?
00:14:01Okay, just, um, just hang tight.
00:14:06I'll be there soon.
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:08Yeah.
00:14:22Lily, you need to eat something.
00:14:24The pills always kill my appetite.
00:14:27Hey, come eat lunch with us?
00:14:41Need I remind you, you're supposed to be protecting me from those people, not throwing me into the lion's den?
00:14:46Yeah, well, we have to keep up the ruse somehow.
00:14:49Speaking of, pucker up, buttercup.
00:14:52Babe, babe, not here.
00:15:03Okay, let's, let's go to the nurse's office.
00:15:05Come on.
00:15:06Do it.
00:15:13Put it.
00:15:28One.
00:15:29One.
00:15:30Okay.
00:15:30when do you think this place will be done with renovations hopefully never
00:15:40so how long do we have to stay in here in order to sell it about an hour i'd say
00:15:55is that how long you stay with girls you actually like i don't bring girls in here
00:16:00but this is like the prime time like hookup spot on campus yeah but like you i actually have standards
00:16:08can i ask you a question are you a virgin you don't have to answer that i'm just you know i'm
00:16:19curious because you're a pretty girl and i figure you could get a boyfriend like a real boyfriend
00:16:26if you wanted one i'll get lucky at college next year i'll find another engineering student and
00:16:34he'll help me change the world for the better i'll also dabble in some regency romance novels and
00:16:40look like a young timothy chalamet so the exact opposite of me
00:16:44what about you then plenty of hookups no real girlfriends you really a man whore
00:16:55you want to find out
00:16:59what if i do
00:17:11do you really think that line would work
00:17:25huh
00:17:26it did on jessica
00:17:29let me guess your situation shift ended so bad that you swore off real dating forever
00:17:37no no i mean it was bad like definitely bad but i think it's uh i think it's more to do with
00:17:45with uh with money i'm at the school on scholarship and if i lose a scholarship i lose the opportunity
00:17:53to play in front of college scouts and if i lose that opportunity i can't go to college because
00:17:57obviously you know i don't have a college fund even though i work a bunch of jobs but it's like at
00:18:03the end of the month when the bills come in all my money's just gone so i guess my point is that i
00:18:10can't afford a girlfriend
00:18:13for the record the right girl won't care about money
00:18:22so i just want someone who cares
00:18:24and you know not to give you a bigger ego than you already have
00:18:31but i think you'd actually make a pretty
00:18:34okay boyfriend
00:18:35come on dish already tell me what happened in the nurse's office
00:18:51i mean
00:18:53nothing really
00:18:56and i'd believe that if you didn't have these cute little stars floating around in your eyes
00:19:01we just talked really but it was nice i guess you know he's shockingly an okay guy
00:19:10well i always knew that
00:19:13what are you talking about
00:19:15sophomore year my car got a flat tire in the student parking lot
00:19:19everyone who was there started laughing at me because i couldn't change it
00:19:22except for hunter he actually got down on the ground and showed me how to do it
00:19:27speak of the devil
00:19:31i'm making myself scarce i just realized how much i need to pee
00:19:39i asked my teachers for some extensions
00:19:50they were all actually pretty cool about it
00:19:54you know high school gets a lot easier once you realize the teachers actually want you to succeed
00:19:58yeah well they gave me all these assignments to redo for a better grade
00:20:02how long do you think it'll take you
00:20:05why so you can academically hit it and quit it
00:20:08seriously

00:22:56it provides a color recognition
00:22:58and if the user presses this button here
00:23:01it uses a voice app to say out loud
00:23:03the color of the objects in their hand
00:23:04best of all
00:23:06these can help recognize the value of money
00:23:08if the user wants to use cash to buy something
00:23:10and it can even help with self-defense
00:23:12it can really do all that
00:23:15well it should
00:23:16these are just prototypes
00:23:18and i'm still working on the voice app

00:27:26Pretending all the time?
00:27:28Pretending to drink?
00:27:29Pretending you're not as smart as you really are?
00:27:32Pretending you're not a total soft bee?
00:27:34Don't want my cover?
00:27:35I used to hate being unpopular.
00:27:40It gets lonely sometimes.
00:27:44But at least I can never pretend to be anything but me.
00:27:49Hunter, there you are.
00:27:52Drew wants a word with you.

00:28:02I don't like to be kept waiting.
00:28:13I didn't know I was on the clock tonight.
00:28:15Wash the attitude, kid.
00:28:17You work when I tell you to work.
00:28:20Understood?
00:28:22Yeah.
00:28:22Now, stay here.
00:28:26My boy is coming with some dope.
00:28:28Then we're heading right back out there to push.
00:28:29I still got pills.
00:28:30I can get them all out tonight.
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Fresh shipment just came in.
00:28:34New suppliers, new shit.
00:28:37Saw it that you brought a girl, by the way.
00:28:40Pretty little thing.
00:28:42She's not going to be a problem now, is she?
00:28:46No, she doesn't matter, no.
00:28:53Good.
00:29:15What, did the cops recruit you or something?
00:29:17Are you here to narc on us, get us all arrested?
00:29:20I'm here with Hunter.
00:29:22So that's how you've been keeping up with me.
00:29:35I'd say eat a dick.
00:29:37But we both know no guy would ever touch you.
00:29:42Hunter can dress you up all you want.
00:29:46But everyone at this party knows you'll always be below us.
00:29:50Hunter accepts me just fine.
00:29:52And he wants to touch me.
00:29:56Please.
00:29:58You barely even know him.
00:30:02Where is he?
00:30:03Right now?
00:30:06That's what I thought.
00:30:09He's already gotten bored of you.
00:30:11Gone back to his own kind.
00:30:13Where do you think you are going?
00:30:14Where do you think you are going?
00:30:21What the hell are you doing?
00:30:24Reminding you of your place.
00:30:25Go ahead.
00:30:34Do you mind?
00:30:35I can't believe you're bleeding all over me.
00:30:38I don't want to catch whatever diseases you have.
00:30:41What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:47Just proving a point.
00:30:50You're too delicate.
00:30:52Too weak to be with someone like Hunter.
00:30:54Ava darling, huh?
00:31:20Those high school girls, man.
00:31:25They'll get your ass in a lot of trouble.
00:31:28Which reminds me.
00:31:30Do you remember that girl that Declan started to bring around the warehouse last year?
00:31:35Lauren Cobbett?
00:31:36Yeah, Lauren.
00:31:39Sweet girl.
00:31:41Too bad she didn't know how to keep her mouth shut.
00:31:44Heard her asking way too many questions.
00:31:47And then that overdose?
00:31:52What did you do?
00:31:54All I did was offer her a couple pills.
00:31:58How was I supposed to know that she was going to be mixing them?
00:32:01Word of advice.
00:32:03Keep your shit separate.
00:32:06I would just hate to see your new girlfriend get in way over her head.
00:32:27Holy shit, that's going to take forever to move.
00:32:29You got two weeks.
00:32:31That's impossible.
00:32:32It better not be.
00:32:33I don't know.
00:32:36Good.
00:32:40Good.
00:32:42Now you get this done before the next shipment comes in.
00:32:45And there's a bonus way.
00:32:47The powers that be are interested in expansion.
00:32:50Big time.
00:32:52And that means taking care of my guys.
00:32:55Hey!
00:32:56So you left me to hang out with your asshole friends?
00:32:58We're supposed to be dating, remember?
00:33:00I know, I know, I just...
00:33:03Because I'm keeping up my end of the deal.
00:33:05Doing all your work.
00:33:06I had to, okay?
00:33:07You just don't understand.
00:33:08Meanwhile, I just got eaten alive in there.
00:33:10I mean, look at what your psycho ex just did.
00:33:12Fuck.
00:33:13I'm sorry, Ava.
00:33:14I wish I could have been in there.
00:33:15I really do.
00:33:16Can we just go, please?
00:33:18Somewhere else?
00:33:18Anywhere else?
00:33:19Is there a problem over here?
00:33:23Who the hell are you?
00:33:25None of your fucking business, sweetheart.
00:33:29I thought you said she didn't matter.
00:33:33Oh, I know.
00:33:35I hurt you.
00:33:39Go inside and wait for me.
00:33:41You do what I say.
00:33:41Attaboy.
00:33:54We're done.
00:33:55It's over.
00:33:55What?
00:33:55No, Ava, that was...
00:33:56What the hell am I getting out of the deal?
00:33:58You won't even protect me from your own friends.
00:34:00I'm trying, okay?
00:34:01You just don't know everything.
00:34:03I know what I see.
00:34:04And it's bullshit.
00:34:07Just like one of your assignments.
00:34:09Something you start but can't finish.

00:40:25Come on, please, Lily, please.
00:40:27Hey, hey!
00:40:29Lily.
00:40:34Please, send an ambulance.
00:40:35My best friend, she took something and she's not waking up.
00:40:39Help!
00:40:40Help, please!
00:40:47Let's go.
00:41:0414 Haha!
00:41:05Come on!
00:41:06Come on!
00:41:07Come on!
00:41:07Hmm!
00:41:07Time!
00:41:07I'm a bitch.
00:41:19I didn't take that arm.
00:41:21You got it, man.
00:41:22I don't want her.
00:41:37What do you need?
00:41:45I got you.
00:41:56Whoa, what the hell?
00:41:58Did you know all your friends are dealing drugs?
00:42:00What?
00:42:01I called one of their little numbers and Declan picked up.
00:42:05Lily overdosed.
00:42:07The paramedic said that she had traces of fentanyl in her system.
00:42:10Fentanyl?
00:42:13That's, um, that's, that's terrible.
00:42:15If I'd, is she okay?
00:42:17She will be.
00:42:19I just talked to her parents, but...
00:42:22God, if I would have given her the Narcan any later...
00:42:26You know, she has to go to, like, some sober high school or something, and...
00:42:30I'll have no one.
00:42:31I'm so sorry.
00:42:35I had no idea.
00:42:41There's a sober lining, at least.
00:42:42I made an anonymous call to the principal.
00:42:46They're doing a drug search of Declan's locker first thing tomorrow morning.
00:42:49It's clean.
00:43:05All right, everyone.
00:43:06Boss and Lyle.
00:43:07Let's move it along.
00:43:08Back to class.
00:43:08Do you know how much my parents donated to this school when I got in?
00:43:13You'll be getting a call from them very soon.
00:43:24When I find out who did this, and I will find out...
00:43:30You are gonna pay.
00:43:33Oh, damn it.
00:43:48Gotta win it for the both of us now.
00:43:56When did you get out of the hospital?
00:44:00About an hour ago.
00:44:0172-hour hold let up.
00:44:03I just came to school to pick up my stuff.
00:44:07Look.
00:44:09I know I ruined my life, but I...
00:44:11That's not true.
00:44:13It's always possible to start over.
00:44:16And you still have me?
00:44:18Yeah.
00:44:19Thanks for saving my life, by the way.
00:44:21Just don't make me do it again.
00:44:25I should go.
00:44:26My mom and dad are waiting.
00:44:28See you soon.
00:44:31That was soon.
00:44:49You know what they say about snitches, right?
00:44:51I warned you, didn't I?
00:45:14I told you to keep your shit separate.
00:45:16If you didn't orchestrate the drug search, come on, bro.
00:45:18Huh, right.
00:45:21Now, if you didn't bring in that shady shipment, none of this shit would have happened.
00:45:25Fentanyl?
00:45:26I never agreed to sell that shit, bro.
00:45:28Keep your fucking voice down.
00:45:30You don't like it?
00:45:31You can leave.
00:45:33Yeah?
00:45:33I'll leave.
00:45:34I want out.
00:45:35That's fine.
00:45:40You can go.
00:45:41I'm not tripping.
00:45:42Just as soon as you pay me back for what you haven't sold.
00:45:47What?
00:45:49That money's got to come from somewhere, Hunter.
00:45:52You or your customers.
00:45:54I'll let you decide which.
00:45:57And don't worry.
00:45:58I'm not gonna touch Ava.
00:46:00I'm letting the girls figure it out themselves.
00:46:06But where's Ava?
00:46:07I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:21And I'm getting really tired of you insulting my intelligence.
00:46:25Fine.
00:46:36I did it.
00:46:37I called in the drug search.
00:46:39Happy?
00:46:41Oh, you're not going anywhere.
00:46:44You're going to pay for what you just tried to do to my family.
00:46:48And hey, maybe this will take you out of the valedictorian race, too.
00:46:55What happened?
00:47:05Are you okay?
00:47:06I'm fine.
00:47:06I'm fine.
00:47:07I'm going to kill you, Ava, darling.
00:47:11Come on.
00:47:21We can hang here without anyone asking questions.
00:47:24My mom and my sister are in Arizona again.
00:47:29It's better than my place.
00:47:31My parents would ask a million questions.
00:47:34I thought they trusted you.
00:47:38They do.
00:47:39But I'm never home this early from the lab.
00:47:42They'd know something was wrong.
00:47:43Why are your mom and sister in Arizona?
00:47:55Oh, just, uh, like a trip they go on every few weeks.
00:48:01It's because she's sick, right?
00:48:03Your sister, Leah.
00:48:04How'd you, how'd you know that?
00:48:12I found this in your mom's jacket.
00:48:21It's from her first hospital visit.
00:48:23I don't know why my mom keeps this stuff.
00:48:30I get it.
00:48:32Sometimes painful things are important to hold on to.
00:48:36She has leukemia.
00:48:44She's had it since she was a kid.
00:48:46And, you know, it went away, but a couple years ago it came back.
00:48:49And I guess since then everything's kind of just falling apart.
00:48:57Like, uh, my mom can only work a part-time job
00:49:01because she's got to take Leah in for all of her treatment,
00:49:04so we're stuck in the Section A department.
00:49:07And, you know, I,
00:49:08I offered to drop out of school and work full-time.
00:49:12But my mom refuses.
00:49:15She says Leah's going to grow up on her and,
00:49:18you know, she's going to need a role model.
00:49:25You know, some role model I am, you know.
00:49:29You're a good guy, Hunter,
00:49:30but your friends, your friends are psycho.
00:49:33Why do you even hang out with them?
00:49:37Loyalty.
00:49:38Nostalgia, I guess.
00:49:39I don't know.
00:49:40I mean, we were close when we were kids.
00:49:43But, you know,
00:49:44I guess I feel like you a lot of the time.
00:49:47You know how you said
00:49:48if you didn't have Lily, you'd have no one?
00:49:52Yeah, I,
00:49:53I don't know, I feel like I'm alone.
00:49:59Most of the time, honestly.
00:50:12Well, I guess it's good we have each other, then.
00:50:14Wait, I'm, I know you said nothing physical.
00:50:40What, when?
00:50:41Sounds like your first rule, no?
00:50:44Our deal's off, anyway.
00:50:47Oh, yeah, I forgot.
00:50:49Besides, I think we might have just broken your rule, too.
00:50:52Unless, you're not feeling the same things I'm feeling.
00:51:05Um,
00:51:05Right.
00:51:07Okay.
00:51:08My mistake.
00:51:09Emotions are running high today.
00:51:11You're being nice,
00:51:13and I shouldn't have read into that.
00:51:15Ava.
00:51:27Make signals much?
00:51:28I'm sorry, I'm just,
00:51:29I'm just really bad at talking about this stuff.
00:51:31But I promise you, there's feelings.
00:51:35You make me feel brave enough to feel them.
00:51:38You make me feel brave, too.
00:51:40If you don't want to talk, that's okay.
00:52:00Why don't you show me?
00:52:06I thought you said you wanted to wait.
00:52:09Hunter,
00:52:10I trust you.
00:52:13Who knows when that will ever happen again.
00:52:18And I always want to be someone you can trust.
00:52:24Always.
00:52:24Always.
00:52:24We'll go slow, right?
00:52:49Mm-hmm.
00:52:50Slow as you want.
00:52:52And we can stop anytime.
00:52:54Okay.
00:52:57I'm ready.
00:53:05Mm.
00:53:07This feels good.
00:53:09I mean, it, like, tickles,
00:53:11but in a good way, you know?
00:53:15Should I, should I take off my clothes?
00:53:17You know, because...
00:53:18Ava.
00:53:19Mm.
00:53:21Mm.
00:53:22Mm.
00:53:22Mm.
00:53:23Mm.
00:53:24Mm.
00:53:44Mm.
00:53:50Mm.
00:53:50Mm.
00:53:51Mm.
00:53:51Mm.
00:53:52Mm.
00:53:53Can I say something?
00:54:15Has anyone ever stopped you from saying something?
00:54:18Hey, you like that about me.
00:54:20No, I do.
00:54:21What do you want to say?
00:54:24I'm really starving.
00:54:32Okay, why don't we go on a real date then?
00:54:37See a show and go to a dinner?
00:54:41A show?
00:54:42Okay, like a movie at the discount theater.
00:54:45Are you getting all lovey-dovey on me, Hunter Black?
00:54:48Are you saying yes?
00:54:50I'm saying, of course.
00:55:11Okay, I admit, when you said dinner, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
00:55:15Not that I mind an affordable option.
00:55:20It's just, this is where you work, and I don't want your mind to be on work all night.
00:55:25Trust me, my mind's gonna be on something else.
00:55:28I just have to drop something off.
00:55:33Something I should have dropped off a long time ago.
00:55:36All right.
00:55:38Are you okay?
00:55:39You seem nervous.
00:55:40No, I've just, I've never been on a real date before.
00:55:42Can I just come with you?
00:55:54Do you still trust me?
00:55:59I still trust you.
00:56:00I still trust you.
00:56:23Okay.
00:56:23Hey, who's there?
00:56:53Jesus, dude, you scared the shit out of me.
00:57:08What are you doing here?
00:57:23Hunter, where are you?
00:57:42Drew was worried you'd do something stupid.
00:57:44He told me to watch the place.
00:57:49I guess he was right.
00:57:51Ava.
00:57:53Please, let me explain in the car.
00:58:04I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt, but of course you were involved with this
00:58:08the whole time.
00:58:09Ava, we can't be here right now.
00:58:10Did you sell them to her?
00:58:12The drugs slowly overdosed on?
00:58:13No, I didn't.
00:58:14I promise you I didn't.
00:58:15As soon as I found out the pills had fentanyl, then I stopped.
00:58:18That's why I'm here.
00:58:19I'm giving everything back.
00:58:20Ava, I can't do this shit anymore.
00:58:22I don't want to do this shit anymore.
00:58:24You showed me that I can be better, Ava.
00:58:29I want to trust you.
00:58:31You still lied to me.
00:58:34Okay, I'm not asking you to trust me right now.
00:58:37I'm asking you to give me a chance to prove that you can, because I love you, Ava.
00:58:46Don't, don't say that if you don't mean it.
00:58:51I mean it.
00:59:04I don't care what happens to me next.
00:59:17You know what we have to do, right?
00:59:19We have to go to cops now.
00:59:24Look who we have here.
00:59:27Two for the price of one.
00:59:34I told you I wanted out.
00:59:37You really thought it was going to be that easy?
00:59:43I, I, I...
00:59:44Where do you think you're going?
00:59:48Hey, let her go!
00:59:49Trust me, that next shot won't be in the air.
01:00:08To the warehouse.
01:00:09Now.
01:00:10Oh.
01:00:11Hold, Hunter.
01:00:12What the hell is wrong with you guys?
01:00:13This is crazy.
01:00:15No.
01:00:16To the warehouse. Now.
01:00:31Whoa.
01:00:33Hold, Hunter.
01:00:35What the hell is wrong with you guys? This is crazy.
01:00:38No, this is survival.
01:00:42Look who it is.
01:00:46Hit her, baby.
01:00:55Ava.
01:00:56That's my girl.
01:00:58Tie her up.
01:01:03Hunter.
01:01:05Fucking let her go. Inside. Now.
01:01:16Come on, man. Don't do this.
01:01:23Declan, you killed Lauren.
01:01:26Her OD wasn't an accident, man.
01:01:28He's a monster.
01:01:29I know.
01:01:31You know, what are you...
01:01:33Aren't you fucking angry?
01:01:35Of course I'm fucking angry. What am I supposed to do about it, huh?
01:01:38If they go down, they're gonna take me down with them.
01:01:48Shit.
01:01:54We have to do something.
01:01:56They can't pull this shit again.
01:01:58Don't worry, baby.
01:01:58I know just what to do.
01:02:14You're afraid, aren't you?
01:02:16Fuck off.
01:02:17You 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.
01:02:29Deep down inside,
01:02:30you're more afraid than anyone else.
01:02:34And now you've shacked up with this psycho.
01:02:37Just because you don't have to do this, you can still...
01:02:39I said shut up!
01:02:41Gaggar.
01:02:42Ava's a good person, Declan.
01:03:06She doesn't deserve it.
01:03:08She saved me, man.
01:03:09She showed me that I'm not alone.
01:03:12That's what I thought, too.
01:03:14About Lauren.
01:03:17Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:22I really loved her.
01:03:32You know, these are the pills your friend Lily took.
01:03:36The same pills that caused the OD you saved her from.
01:03:39Too bad she isn't here to return the favor.
01:03:47Wait, what?
01:03:49What are you doing?
01:03:50I'm doing what needs to be done.
01:03:54Drew, you can't do this again.
01:03:56And why not?
01:03:58I got away with the last song.
01:03:59Please, Declan.
01:04:04Don't let them hurt Ava.
01:04:06Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:04:18Do you have a better idea?
01:04:20I'm going to have a lot of fun making sure you choke this down.
01:04:36Baby!
01:04:36Did you kill them?
01:04:45They're just electrocuted.
01:04:46Unconscious.
01:04:47Well, I have to kill you.
01:04:49Jessica, please.
01:04:50Please, please, don't do this.
01:04:51You don't have to do this.
01:04:52Jessica, please.
01:04:52Please.
01:04:52Hunter.
01:05:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:17Ava, no, don't do this to me.
01:05:18Come on, Ava, don't do this.
01:05:20Don't do this to me.
01:05:21Hunter, what are you doing?
01:05:34911, I need help.
01:05:36Cops?
01:05:36Hunter, you can't do that.
01:05:37I don't fucking care.
01:05:39I'm at 5246 Pine Lane.
01:05:42You got to hurry.
01:05:48Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:05:50Go, get out of here.
01:05:51You ain't with me, man.
01:05:53If they find you, they'll arrest you.
01:05:54You'll go to jail.
01:05:57Yeah, would you have left Lauren?
01:06:06Run.
01:06:07Run!
01:06:08Don't do this to me.
01:06:12Don't do this to me.
01:06:17Come on, don't do this.
01:06:18There she is.
01:06:36You flew in for my graduation?
01:06:38Great speech.
01:06:45Wasn't a dry eye in the house.
01:06:47They're all just impressed because I got shot.
01:06:49Can I see the scar?
01:06:51Went straight through.
01:06:55Didn't even hit a nerve.
01:06:58Doctor said it was a miracle.
01:07:00You're such a badass.
01:07:03And a total genius.
01:07:05So, how about we talk about the elephant in the room?
01:07:13Why haven't you seen Hunter?
01:07:15I heard he just got out of prison.
01:07:18He knows you gave the science fair prize money to his family, right?
01:07:23I'm assuming someone told him.
01:07:25Are you mad at him?
01:07:28No.
01:07:29He gave up everything for me.
01:07:31Of course I'm not mad at him.
01:07:34He saved my life.
01:07:36More than that, he probably saved a bunch of lives.
01:07:39You know, his testimony sent Drew and Rex away for life.
01:07:42And Jessica got ten years.
01:07:44And his cooperation got him a shorter sentence.
01:07:46So, you pay him back by completely ghosting him?
01:07:51I didn't know what to say.
01:07:54It's been six months and you always know what to say.
01:07:57How have you not figured out what to say?
01:07:59I don't know, because thank you for saving my life.
01:08:02I'm sorry everyone's yours.
01:08:04Doesn't exactly have a romantic ring to it.
01:08:08So, you do still like him.
01:08:13Hunter's got a lot going on.
01:08:15He hasn't seen his family in six months.
01:08:18I'm sure I'm the last person he's thinking of right now.
01:08:21I'm pretty sure that's not true.
01:08:27I should go.
01:08:29I can't even be alone for five minutes without my parents sending out a search party.
01:08:33So, last day of school tomorrow.
01:08:35We still on for our annual tradition of rom-coms and cookie dough.
01:08:39Chocolate chips, Heath Ledger, and no bras.
01:08:42Who needs drugs when you've got action like that?
01:08:46Kidding.
01:08:49I love you, you know.
01:08:51I love you too, Lilz.
01:08:52I love you too, Lilz.
01:09:01I've got good news and even better news.
01:09:04I love you too, Lilz.
01:09:06Chloe?
01:09:27Chloe?
01:09:28Chloe?
01:09:29Chloe?
01:09:34Hey.
01:09:36What are you doing here, Hutch?
01:09:40I'm gonna kill Lily.
01:09:42Please don't.
01:09:43She was actually a really good wing woman, apart from her wanting me to sing you a Frankie
01:09:48Valley song.
01:09:49I thought it was a bit too much, and, you know, I can't sing for shit.
01:09:58You look good.
01:10:00So do you.
01:10:05I'm so sorry.
01:10:06Like, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness.
01:10:08Look at me.
01:10:10You saved me, Hunter.
01:10:13You saved me.
01:10:15No, we saved each other.
01:10:17If it wasn't for our fake relationship, I never would have gotten out of that life.
01:10:22You're welcome.
01:10:26So, what now?
01:10:28Are you gonna re-enroll next fall somewhere, or?
01:10:31I actually managed to get my GED while I'm in prison.
01:10:34What?
01:10:35Yeah.
01:10:36That's incredible, Hunter.
01:10:37Mm-hmm.
01:10:38Well, the smartest girl I know taught me how to study, so it wasn't too hard.
01:10:43I think I'm just gonna do some independent study next year, reapply to colleges at the end
01:10:48of that.
01:10:49And I can do that from anywhere, so.
01:10:51You know, things are actually looking good for my life, but there's still this one thing
01:10:56I feel like I'm missing.
01:10:58That's where you come in.
01:11:02You know, I could really use a good tutor.
01:11:07That could work.
01:11:11Really?
01:11:13Cuz...
01:11:15I could really use a boyfriend.
01:11:18It's come here already.
01:11:21Yeah, I just wanna be forever young.
01:11:25Yeah, I just wanna be forever young.
01:11:28Yeah, I just wanna be forever young.
01:11:33I'm off the ground, no one can stop me now.
01:11:38Yeah, I just wanna be forever young.
