00:22:44Yeah
00:22:45A word
00:22:47We both know
00:22:51These jocks didn't write their essays
00:22:54The principal wants to see you in his office
00:22:58Okay
00:23:01You wanted to see me?
00:23:16We're investigating an academic fraud ring
00:23:18Paper hearts
00:23:19Know anything about it?
00:23:21Nope
00:23:21Oh, we traced the phone number late to the app
00:23:24We're about to call it
00:23:25I'm giving you one chance to tell me the truth before we do
00:23:29Uh, I
00:23:31I don't know anything about it
00:23:33Hm
00:23:34She's not involved
00:24:00I've known you a long time
00:24:02She's a diligent and honest student
00:24:04Well, if you hear anything
00:24:07We expect your cooperation
00:24:09Of course
00:24:11Thank you
00:24:13Hey
00:24:22Back from the principal's office
00:24:24Yep
00:24:24Uh, what was that about?
00:24:26I have to shut it down
00:24:28Shut

00:24:31Paper hearts
00:24:32They're on to me
00:24:34They're on to me
00:24:34If I get caught, I'm done
00:24:35Well, hey, don't worry about it
00:24:37Look, it's going to be okay
00:24:38I'm sure you're going to survive
00:24:40Without scamming the school
00:24:41Out of half of its lunch mind
00:24:42What did you just say?
00:24:46Nothing
00:24:46Nothing
00:24:47Listen, it's just like
00:24:48Pocket change
00:24:49It's going to be okay
00:24:50You know, you know nothing about real life
00:24:54Since the day you were born
00:24:56You've just been shielded by daddy's money
00:24:58So, write your own stupid letters from now on

00:25:26Before they cut off her treatment
00:25:28I'll figure it out
00:25:29I'm not dumb enough to link my real phone to the app
00:25:45Even if they're on to me
00:25:47I don't have a choice
00:26:15Yeah, hey

00:28:20Hey
00:28:34Mia
00:28:40Mm-hmm
00:28:43Mm-hmm
00:29:43It's the last time.
00:29:49Did you start the second letter?
00:29:51Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:53Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:55Well, see ya.
00:30:13It's not terrible.
00:30:18You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:20Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:27Yeah, I did.
00:30:29Very romantic.
00:30:30Very gushy.
00:30:32A lot of stargazing.
00:30:34And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:36Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:42Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:46You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:48You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:53You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:30:59You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:31:03I think that's really cool.
00:31:05That one's perfect for you.
00:31:13Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:16Yeah, yeah.
00:31:16That's the one.
00:31:18Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:24Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:30Hey.
00:31:32There you are.
00:31:32I'm looking for you.
00:31:36Well, that's my cue.
00:31:38For real.
00:31:53Hey.
00:31:58I've been thinking about you.
00:32:00Really?
00:32:01It must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:05What?
00:32:07Hey, babe, nothing happened.
00:32:09Hey, I promise.
00:32:11Look, you are the only person that matters to me.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:16Why?
00:32:18Why what?
00:32:20Why do I matter?
00:32:22What are you into?
00:32:22I'm into you, of course.
00:32:27Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:33You're really pretty.
00:32:35And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:38Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:41I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:46Hey, but now?
00:32:47You were, like, really hot.
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:52Anything else?
00:32:54Uh, what?
00:32:56Are you, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:32:57Okay, wait.
00:33:02You're beautiful.
00:33:03Oh, you already said that.
00:33:07Babe, what?
00:33:07You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:21You know, Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:25I think that's really cool.
00:33:29I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:32I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:34:02Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:34:05I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:07No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:10Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:12No.
00:34:13No, that's not how this works.
00:34:15You need to let her wonder.
00:34:17Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:19Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like her.
00:34:26And ruin the mystery?
00:34:29Are you sure you put the letter in her locker?
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:32Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:40Look who's back.
00:34:42Deskrat herself.
00:34:44What's in the back, Brad?
00:34:46Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:50Don't.
00:34:51Look at me, I could give it.
00:34:52Give it back.
00:34:53Let's see.
00:35:03My dearest Chloe.
00:35:05Oh my God.
00:35:06No wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:08Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:09I'm sure just I have to give it back.
00:35:11Yes?
00:35:12It's not funny, please.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:18What the hell is going on?
00:35:19Samantha, what the hell is your problem?
00:35:26Give me her bag back right now.
00:35:28Since when do you take charity cases side over mine?
00:35:31I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:33Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:36And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:39You and me are not a thing.
00:35:41So give me her bag back right now.
00:35:43This is all her fault.
00:35:55Thanks.
00:36:00Brad.
00:36:01You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:36:04I...
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:06You lied to me.
00:36:07No.
00:36:08Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:09No, I didn't.
00:36:13No.
00:36:36Brad.
00:36:38Please.
00:36:43Who is it?
00:36:54It's Brad.
00:36:59Come in.
00:37:10Why didn't she give her the letter?
00:37:13I don't know.
00:37:16Bullshit.
00:37:17I don't.
00:37:18I don't.
00:37:18What, did you want some money?
00:37:20Was that it?
00:37:20You were just trying to squeeze some more money out of me?
00:37:21Fuck you, Brad.
00:37:24There must have been a reason.
00:37:26Mia, you're the smartest person I've ever met.
00:37:28I refuse to believe that you just didn't know what you were doing.
00:37:30Or that it was an accident.

00:37:33I'm really sorry, okay?
00:37:34But I can't keep writing for you anymore.

00:50:39You know what they say.
00:50:40You can't judge a book by its cover.
00:50:44I guess you're right.
00:50:49Tell her she looks beautiful.
00:50:52You look beautiful.
00:50:55You know, that word is so overused that it's lost all of its meaning.

00:51:59Oh, my.
00:52:00I knew this was a mistake, so.
00:52:02I think I'm just going to go.
00:52:03No, no.
00:52:04Don't.
00:52:04Don't let her leave.
00:52:05Stop her.
00:52:06I don't want to go and really think.
00:52:07Hold on.
00:52:08I'm sorry.
00:52:09I'm not sorry.
00:52:10It's just feel a little bit.
00:52:12Can I try again?
00:52:14I'm sorry I wasn't being honest with you.
00:52:17Stick to the plan.
00:52:18What are you doing?
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:23Brad.
00:52:25Chloe.
00:52:27Hello?
00:52:29Hello?
00:52:30I just.
00:52:32You know, you're somebody that I kind of.
00:52:33I've been watching and kind of.
00:52:36What is he saying?
00:52:46He's got this.
00:52:49And I'm losing him.
00:52:54Nothing.
00:52:56Not a word.
00:52:58Guess it went well.
00:53:01He doesn't need me anymore.
00:53:03He doesn't need me anymore.
00:53:06He's so funny.
00:53:07He does.
00:53:08He doesn't need me anymore.
00:53:09He doesn't need me anymore.
00:53:10Mm-hmm.
00:53:10What do you think?
00:53:12Oh, my.
00:53:13What are you?
00:53:16Whoa.
00:53:17Hey, Mia.
00:53:20Hey.
00:53:25It's not what it looks like.
00:53:27Oh, really?
00:53:28Let me guess.
00:53:28You were just tutoring her in anatomy.
00:53:32Babe, come on.
00:53:33I'm.
00:53:36Really?
00:53:38Okay, look.
00:53:39There's.
00:53:39Obviously, there's enough of me for all of you.
00:53:43Gotta learn to share.
00:53:45Oh, my God.
00:53:49You're actually dumber than I thought.
00:53:52What?
00:53:53You were never special, Dan.
00:53:57I just thought you were.
00:54:00But reality check?
00:54:02You're just another generic jock with a two brain cell capacity and an expiration date.
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09And years from now, you'll just be that guy at the bar washed up talking about the high school games that nobody remembers.
00:54:18Right here, Dan.
00:54:20Right?
00:54:20This is your peak.
00:54:22It's all downhill from here.
00:54:25Dan, I thought I told you, I don't want another dumb overbox guys coming.
00:54:49I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:51I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:52I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:53I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:54I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:55I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:56I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:57I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:58I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:54:59I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:00I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:01I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:02I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:03I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:04I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:05I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:06I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:07I don't want another dumb overbox guys.
00:55:38I have zero time or interest in dealing with you.
00:56:02Relax, Descartes. I'm not here to fight.
00:56:05Then what do you want?
00:56:06Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account.
00:56:15Exhausted much?
00:56:17I have no idea what you're talking about. That's not mine.
00:56:19Come on. Two phones. Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:56:26Get out.
00:56:26Smile.
00:56:28Give me my phone back.
00:56:29Holy shit.
00:56:30It's you. Your Paper Hearts.
00:56:32Please. Please, it's not that you can't tell anyone. I'll do your homework, your essays, whatever you want.
00:56:37I don't care about any of that.
00:56:39Then what do you want?
00:56:40I want the truth.
00:56:41Why is Brad always with you?
00:56:47I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:49Hey.
00:56:53Hey.
00:56:53Hey.
00:56:54You look beautiful.
00:56:57How was your class?
00:56:58It was good.
00:56:59It was good?
00:56:59Ready for practice tonight?
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:01Hey, Mia.
00:57:03Mia.
00:57:04Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:57:07I, um, Chloe.
00:57:09This is Mia, my good friend.
00:57:12And Mia, this is Chloe, my girlfriend.
00:57:17Hi.
00:57:18Brad talks about you all the time.
00:57:20Yeah, same.
00:57:23Um, I actually had something to tell you.
00:57:26Yeah, what's up?
00:57:28Uh, I...
00:57:30I broke up with Dan.
00:57:33Oh, really?
00:57:35Well, that's great.
00:57:36He's, uh, a total mortal.
00:57:38Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:57:40Yeah.
00:57:41Well, I'll see you guys around.
00:57:43Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh, come to the gateway?
00:57:46Yeah.
00:57:47I'll sit with you if you want.
00:57:48Yeah, it'll be great.
00:57:49Yeah, maybe.
00:57:51Um, see you guys around.
00:57:52Okay, I'll be here.
00:57:52Bye.
00:57:53Bye.
00:57:53Bye.
00:57:53Bye.
00:57:53Bye.

00:58:09Bye.
00:58:10Bye.
00:58:11Bye.
00:58:12Bye.
00:58:13Bye.
00:58:14Bye.
00:58:15Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:58:16Mm-hmm.
00:58:17Shame, it's all a lie.
00:58:19I figured out why you were writing those letters.
00:58:21Shut up.
00:58:23Here's the deal.
00:58:23You tell Chloe the truth, that you're the one writing all those sweet little letters, or I do.
00:58:30And if I do, the principal gets your whole phone.
00:58:33file.
00:58:34...
00:58:37Now.
00:58:38You're all away.
00:58:41You're all away.
00:58:50Go on.
00:58:51Okay.
00:58:52Sorry, excuse me.
00:58:53Do you want my pitch on me?
00:58:54You're all away.
00:58:55You're all away.
00:58:56Okay.
00:58:57You're all away.
00:58:58You're all away.
00:58:59Sorry. Excuse me. Just coming through. Sorry. Hey, Chloe. Oh, my God. Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
00:59:11Yeah. It's a good game. I need to tell you something.
00:59:16Oh, my gosh. Ron, are you okay?
00:59:23I'm okay. Are you okay?
00:59:25I'm okay. I'm okay.
00:59:27All right, baby.
00:59:29Oh, good luck. Good luck.
00:59:30Good luck.
00:59:30Marcus.
00:59:35What were you going to say, Mia?
00:59:38I need to tell you.
00:59:43I've been...
00:59:44Go on.
00:59:44Tell her.
00:59:50I knew you're chicken out, but I didn't write those letters.
00:59:57What?
00:59:58Our little ghostwriter here did every word. They were just messing with you. Both of us.
01:00:04Chloe, it's not like that. At all.
01:00:07So, everything was a lie?
01:00:10It wasn't a lie. At all. I...
01:00:12Oh, Chloe.
01:00:15Wait. I...
01:00:17No.
01:00:21Where are you going, man?
01:00:29Unbelievable.
01:00:32All this work.
01:00:34Captain Love Story.
01:00:35Did you sit in...
01:00:37That is some stupid girl.
01:00:41God.
01:00:43Betty's been fucking desk rat as you chick found out.
01:00:50No, actually.
01:00:51I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
01:00:56Probably half the faculty.
01:00:58It's a shame that, uh...
01:01:00A pathetic whore costs us the game.
01:01:04What the hell did you just say?
01:01:07Relax, man.
01:01:11If you're into leftovers,
01:01:12that's your call.
01:01:13What the hell is your problem?
01:01:29Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:01:38Fuck.
01:01:39Fuck.
01:01:39Fuck.
01:01:39Fuck.
01:01:41Fuck.
01:01:41Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:42Fuck.
01:01:43Fuck.
01:01:43Fuck.
01:01:43Fuck.
01:01:44Fuck.
01:01:46Talk to me.
01:01:47You would have told her everything, no?
01:01:49No.
01:01:49Everything?
01:01:50Oh, what's wrong with your hand?
01:01:52Captain.
01:01:53My captain.
01:01:55What are you doing, bitch?
01:01:56Hold it.
01:01:57Ready?
01:01:59You think you're some kind of hero?
01:02:01Oh, my God.
01:02:03Get up.
01:02:07Sorry about your boy toy, princess.
01:02:10Hey, thanks.
01:02:12Hey, this is worse.
01:02:12Hey.
01:02:13Hey.
01:02:13Hey.
01:02:13Sorry, Brad.
01:02:16Sorry, Brad.
01:02:16I'm sorry.
01:02:18Let's go.
01:02:19Come on.
01:02:20Come on.
01:02:20Come on.
01:02:20Oh, my God.
01:02:22Brad.
01:02:22Brad.
01:02:23Brad.
01:02:23Hey.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:25It's okay.
01:02:26It's okay.
01:02:27It's okay.
01:02:27It's okay.
01:02:29No.
01:02:29It's okay.
01:02:29Um.
01:02:30Okay.
01:02:30It's gonna be quick.
01:02:40I don't trip.
01:02:40It's okay.
01:02:41Hurry.
01:02:45Okay.
01:02:46Okay.
01:02:47Boom.
01:02:50Okay.
01:02:51It's just driving.
01:02:53Okay.
01:02:53You're gonna make it, Brad, okay?
01:02:59Stay with me.
01:03:01Okay.
01:03:02Okay.
01:03:12I'm so sorry this happened.
01:03:15It's all my fault.
01:03:16I wish you would have never asked me for help.
01:03:24I wish I would have just stayed invisible to you.
01:03:29None of this would have ever happened.
01:03:37I would have never fallen for you.
01:03:39Oh, it's you.
01:03:57Chloe.
01:03:58Hear me out, please.
01:04:06What do you want, Mia?
01:04:08For you to know the truth?
01:04:10Yeah.
01:04:11Brad lied, okay?
01:04:12But he didn't mean to hurt you.
01:04:14It's not up to the liar to decide whether the lie hurts or not.
01:04:17I know.
01:04:19I know.
01:04:19He just fell for you so hard.
01:04:22He didn't even know how to act like himself.
01:04:25I mean, look at everything he's done to make you happy.
01:04:27Has anyone in the school ever done anything like that for anyone?
01:04:34I know.
01:04:35I know he doesn't erase what he's done, but...
01:04:38should it at least mean something.
01:04:44You think he really cares about me?
01:04:48I know he does.
01:04:50And I know you do, too.
01:04:51I only came because I got scared when I found out.
01:04:57That's not why you're here.
01:05:01And you?
01:05:02I'm letting go.
01:05:10Okay.
01:05:11Hey, are you okay?
01:05:24Hey, are you okay?
01:05:24I'm almost there.
01:05:43With Brad's help, just a little more, and I'll have enough for mom's surgery.
01:05:47Excellent work, as always, Mia.
01:05:58I know.
01:06:09I'm gonna tell you.
01:06:11Yes.
01:06:41Where are you going?
01:06:48I heard she's calling with Professor Luke.
01:06:52That's why she gets straight A's.
01:06:54Some people are just desperate.
01:07:11Oh my gosh.
01:07:14What do you want?
01:07:15I did what you asked.
01:07:17Except you did it.
01:07:19And now it's time to pay the price.
01:07:23No, I told her the truth.
01:07:25You chickened out.
01:07:26And now Brad's still with her.
01:07:28Not me.
01:07:29It's not my fault that he hates you.
01:07:31Please.
01:07:32If it weren't for your little love letters, he wouldn't even know she exists.
01:07:36You're seriously blaming this on me because he doesn't want to be with you?
01:07:41You need help.
01:07:45Give it back.
01:07:46Excuse me.
01:07:47What are you doing?
01:07:48You don't fuck.
01:07:49All this from homework?
01:07:51What the heck are you doing?
01:07:52Give me my phone.
01:07:53Oh, just call it interest for fucking up, my love.
01:07:57Look.
01:08:07You're going to regret that.
01:08:10Help.
01:08:11Help.
01:08:12She's attacking me.
01:08:14Any other student would be expelled for this.
01:08:26But give me your academic record.
01:08:29Two weeks suspension.
01:08:30Effective.
01:08:31Immediately.
01:08:32What?
01:08:33Principal Matthews, you can't do this.
01:08:35I need to be at school.
01:08:36I have nothing else.
01:08:37She stole my money.
01:08:39What money?
01:08:39Where would someone like her even get money?
01:08:42That's all, Mia.
01:08:43You can go.
01:08:43No.
01:08:44Shh.
01:08:47I said you can go.
01:08:49Sure.
01:08:51She's...
01:08:51I said you can go.
01:08:57Samantha.
01:08:59Samantha.
01:09:01Please.
01:09:02I need that money for my mom's surgery.
01:09:04Not my problem.
01:09:05Yeah, just...
01:09:06Take what's not yours.
01:09:08Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:09:14At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:09:19Oh my goodness.
01:09:22That's wrestling and wieners and beef.
01:09:26That's a pretty bad point.
01:09:27Leave me alone.
01:09:28Why?
01:09:30You got any footlongs here or is that pro bono just for the faculty?
01:09:32Get out of here.
01:09:36What are you doing?
01:09:38Hmm.
01:09:40Oops.
01:09:41Oh, God.
01:09:42You know, this is your pee.
01:09:44Hey.
01:09:45It's all downhill from here.
01:09:47It's gone.
01:09:48Oh, my God.
01:09:49What the hell is going on?
01:09:51It wasn't me.
01:09:52I swear.
01:09:52This comes out of your paycheck.
01:09:54What?
01:09:55I...
01:09:55I...
01:09:56Robert.
01:09:58I'm so sorry.
01:09:59I'm...
01:10:04No.
01:10:06What did I...
01:10:06You're lucky she got you to the hospital in time.
01:10:16Who?
01:10:17Nia.
01:10:18She drove you.
01:10:20No.
01:10:21No, Mia can't drive.
01:10:24She did that night.
01:10:32Jackson, you look like you were about to meet Jesus back there.
01:10:35This part's my favorite.
01:10:36The way they realized they loved each other all along.
01:10:40Right.
01:10:41After three conversations and a kiss in the rain.
01:10:44Very realistic.
01:10:47It's romantic.
01:10:48It's cheesy.
01:10:54You don't have to watch with me.
01:10:56No, I want to.
01:10:58I want to.
01:10:59I'm sorry.
01:10:59I'm sorry.
01:11:02Okay.
01:11:18Hi, Dad.
01:11:21I wish you were here.
01:11:33You know how to fix this.
01:11:38Mom's really sick.
01:11:42Mom's really sick.
01:11:44She's really sick.
01:11:47And I can't save her.
01:11:48And I've tried so hard.
01:11:54And I've tried so hard.
01:11:54Why did you leave?
01:12:03Why did you leave?
01:12:07Oh, my God.
01:12:08Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:12:10I got you.
01:12:12You okay?
01:12:14Hey, hey.
01:12:15It's okay.
01:12:16It's fine.
01:12:31It's all over.
01:12:32All the money is gone.
01:12:38Even if I worked every second, it wouldn't be enough.
01:12:41You know, when I came out here and I saw you, I got so scared.
01:12:53Samantha took everything.
01:12:55I know.
01:12:55Every cent.
01:12:56And she knows who I am.
01:12:59She knows about me.
01:13:01None paper hearts.
01:13:03Well, then we will do everything that we can to make sure that she gives it back.
01:13:07How?
01:13:09How?
01:13:09She has all the cards in her hands.
01:13:11If she exposes me, I'm done.
01:13:13No school.
01:13:14No future.
01:13:15Nothing.
01:13:18You know what?
01:13:25Let's turn the tables.
01:13:26Let's go.
01:13:40You called for me, Principal Matthews?
01:13:46Yes, come in.
01:13:47Have a seat, please.
01:13:54Hi, Samantha.
01:13:56So, Principal Matthews, Mia did not lie about everything.
01:14:01Samantha was the one that stole everything.
01:14:03Everything from the car wash, everything that Mia worked so hard to get.
01:14:07Even if that were true, which it's not, how would a charity case like her have thousands just lying around?
01:14:14Here's your proof.
01:14:17Every single cent went right into Samantha's bank account.
01:14:20Mr. Matthews, they're just trying to blackmail me because I know the truth about Mia.
01:14:24You know what, Samantha?
01:14:24This is exactly why I broke up with you.
01:14:26Because you lie.
01:14:28You lie and you manipulate and you don't care who gets hurt along the way as long as you get what you want, right?
01:14:33Do you want to play a bad game?
01:14:36Fine.
01:14:36You want to talk about liars?
01:14:38Here's your perfect straight-A student running a whole cheating empire under your nose.
01:14:44Paper hearts.
01:14:45That's her.
01:14:47And when I found out, they threatened me.
01:14:49And she attacked me.
01:14:51She told me that if I told anyone, she would kill me.
01:14:54So, I just couldn't hide it anymore.
01:14:57Is this true?
01:14:59Yes.
01:15:00This is ridiculous.
01:15:03No, it's not.
01:15:04Because I run paper hearts.
01:15:07I always have, and Mia has never had anything to do with it.
01:15:11You fully understand the consequences of your confession, Brad?
01:15:16Yes, I do.
01:15:17So, you expect me to believe a student like you, who's barely turned in a completed essay his entire high school career?
01:15:27Well, that was exactly the point.
01:15:29No one would ever suspect it was me.
01:15:32You didn't.
01:15:33But yes, I ran paper hearts.
01:15:35I hired people to write the essays.
01:15:37I ran the app.
01:15:39I handled all the finances.
01:15:40And I made sure that it would never get traced back to me.
01:15:43Um, Mia is a great, very hardworking student.
01:15:47And she would never do anything like this.
01:15:50She had nothing to do with it.
01:15:51I promise.
01:15:52Well, where did Mia get the money?
01:15:54Frankly, sir, I have no idea.
01:15:56But honestly, however much money is in Mia's bank account is really, well, none of our business.
01:16:02Brad, you're expelled.
01:16:05Effective.
01:16:05Immediately.
01:16:07Samantha, so are you.
01:16:09What?
01:16:09Now, I'm willing to keep this quiet and not involve the police.
01:16:14But if you want to press your luck, theft of this amount will put you behind bars for five years.
01:16:21Now, maybe your daddy's attorneys and lawyers can shave it down one or two years.
01:16:27It's your choice.
01:16:35Thanks, sir.
01:16:36Well, well, well.
01:16:55Looks like Deserad is out of job.
01:16:57You know, maybe you should look at the corner.
01:17:02And by the way, word of advice, I heard it pays better if you don't use protection.
01:17:11That's for every piece of shit thing you've ever said to me.
01:17:14Oh, my God.
01:17:18Remind me in that space you are.
01:17:20You already do.
01:17:22Thanks.
01:17:23Well, let's go to the hospital.
01:17:25Yeah.
01:17:25We have the money.
01:17:32Please, where's my mom?
01:17:35You're two hours late.
01:17:36We couldn't wait any longer.
01:17:38We had to move on to the next patient.
01:17:43Well, Doc, can you move her back into the room?
01:17:46That's not how this works.
01:17:48Well, it is tonight.
01:17:49Hey, Brad.
01:17:49Hey, it's okay.
01:17:51Listen, doctor.
01:17:52Grab every single doctor, every single nurse, every person that you need to make this operation happen
01:17:56so we can save this beautiful woman's life tonight.
01:18:04Wait here.
01:18:10Hey.
01:18:10Hey.
01:18:11Hey.
01:18:12We're too late.
01:18:13We're not too late.
01:18:15It's going to be okay.
01:18:16I promise.
01:18:17I promise.
01:18:19You're thinking so loud.
01:18:32I can hear it.
01:18:36I'm just glad you're okay, Mom.
01:18:40That's not all.
01:18:41Mom, how did you know you were in love with Dad?
01:18:55We were at this terrible karaoke bar.
01:18:59Yeah, I bet.
01:19:01Neither one of us could sing to save our lives.
01:19:04But he got up anyway, sang horribly, just to make me laugh.
01:19:15Everyone was staring.
01:19:19But all I could see was him.
01:19:23That's it?
01:19:24Love isn't some big moments, sweetie.
01:19:30It's the little ones that make you feel seen, safe.
01:19:37You don't have to be anybody but yourself.
01:19:41Yeah.
01:19:45Mom, I think I'm going to mess everything up.
01:19:48Good thing you're the best fixer I know.
01:20:04Why did you do all of this for Mia?
01:20:07I don't know, because she's my friend.
01:20:10I think you do know.
01:20:11We're too different.
01:20:31But you and her,
01:20:34you always made sense.
01:20:36Yes.
01:20:41Write your own words this time.
01:20:43Please, welcome to the stage.
01:21:12the one and only
01:21:13valedictorian Mia Brooks.
01:21:17Congratulations.
01:21:20I'm so proud of you.
01:21:21Thanks.
01:21:22Absolutely.
01:21:23Oh, wow.
01:21:25Good afternoon, everyone.
01:21:29I had a whole speech planned
01:21:31about hard work
01:21:33and dedication
01:21:35and all the usual stuff
01:21:37you're supposed to say.
01:21:39I've spent so much of my life
01:21:40writing words for
01:21:41other people.
01:21:42It feels wrong not to
01:21:45write this moment for myself.
01:21:47I want to talk about love.
01:21:52Love
01:21:52isn't some perfect story
01:21:55with a guaranteed happy ending.
01:21:58It's confusing.
01:22:01Terrifying.
01:22:02And it makes you mess up
01:22:04over and over
01:22:06and over again.
01:22:06because suddenly
01:22:09someone else's happiness
01:22:14matters more than your own.
01:22:15And sometimes the scariest part
01:22:17isn't even
01:22:18falling for someone.
01:22:19It's
01:22:19letting them see you.
01:22:22All of you.
01:22:24And trusting that
01:22:25they won't walk away.
01:22:27I've spent so much time
01:22:28writing stories
01:22:29for everyone else.
01:22:30I think it's time
01:22:32I rent my own.
01:22:35Congratulations,
01:22:35class of 2025.
01:22:39It's time I take
01:22:40my own advice.
01:22:41Bye.
01:22:42What the heck?
01:22:44Well,
01:22:44the show must go on,
01:22:45everyone.
01:22:46We have our next
01:22:47runner-up valedictorian,
01:22:48Chloe Hartwell.
01:22:50Well,
01:22:50Brad.
01:22:57Yeah?
01:22:58What are you doing?
01:22:59You're supposed to be
01:23:00at graduation.
01:23:01Yeah,
01:23:01why aren't you
01:23:02at graduation?
01:23:03I already got my diploma.
01:23:06No ceremony for me.
01:23:09Mom.
01:23:10My parents are moving tomorrow.
01:23:13New investment,
01:23:14new town.
01:23:17To tomorrow?
01:23:18And you were just
01:23:21going to leave
01:23:21without saying anything?
01:23:25I figured you'd be
01:23:26better off.
01:23:33I got your letter.
01:23:36Yeah.
01:23:40Any notes?
01:23:42I got too scared
01:23:43to read it.
01:23:45Thought we could do
01:23:46it together.
01:23:48But first,
01:23:51there's something
01:23:51I want to say.
01:23:54You're the most
01:23:54annoying,
01:23:57stubborn,
01:23:59frustrating person
01:23:59I've ever met.
01:24:04And I love you.
01:24:07I love you,
01:24:08and I'm done
01:24:09pretending,
01:24:10so if you don't feel
01:24:10the same way,
01:24:11just tell me right now.
01:24:11I love you.
01:24:11I love you.
01:24:11I love you.
01:24:11I love you.

01:24:15I love you.
01:24:16I love you.
01:24:18Mia,
01:24:19you really should
01:24:19have read that letter.
01:24:23Why?
01:24:27Because then you'd already
01:24:28know how I feel.
01:24:28ôt for you.
01:24:40I love you.
01:24:40I love you.
01:24:49I love you.
01:24:51I love you.
01:25:54I won't do anything just this other time.
01:26:01If we're going to make this long distance thing work, you're going to have to learn how to drive.
01:26:20I'm already regretting this.
01:26:21Good.
01:26:22That's the spirit.
01:26:23We're going to die.
01:26:25No, we're going to be great.
01:26:28This is going to be awesome.
01:26:30Ready?
01:26:30Yep.
01:26:31Not too bad, huh?
01:26:38Not too bad.
01:26:39No, we're going to die.
01:27:09What now?
01:27:11Anything?
01:27:13Everything?
01:27:14Sounds terrifying.
01:27:16Not with you.
01:27:18Ready to go?
01:27:32Yeah.
01:27:33You're driving.
01:27:34Sounds good.
