00:00:30My app where lazy students get A's and I get paid.
00:00:34Essays, homework, research, you name it.
00:00:41As long as I stay in the shadows, nothing's impossible.
00:00:52Well, almost nothing.
00:01:00Dan, you sure you didn't get help on that essay?
00:01:13I don't know what you're talking about.
00:01:15Really?
00:01:18Well, school does.
00:01:20Whoever's behind paper hearts, we're on to them.
00:01:24Once caught, it won't just be expulsion.
00:01:28Users will face consequences, too.
00:01:31Chapters four and five are tomorrow.
00:01:49I know your secret.
00:01:54You're paper hearts, aren't you?
00:02:07Your words, they're art.
00:02:10Hey, don't worry.
00:02:15Your secret's safe with me.
00:02:23But I can't hold back anymore.
00:02:29This is all I've ever wanted.
00:02:31Oh, sorry.
00:02:47You okay?
00:02:52What were you thinking about?
00:02:56Nothing.
00:02:57Okay.
00:02:58I'm Brad.
00:03:04Mia.
00:03:05Great to meet you.
00:03:08I actually wanted to ask you for a favor.
00:03:11No.
00:03:12Why?
00:03:13You don't even know what it is.
00:03:14Yeah, but if you're asking, then it's trouble.
00:03:17Well, it's actually something kind of personal.
00:03:19I need a love letter.
00:03:24Good one.
00:03:25Look, I know your paper hearts.
00:03:27Right.
00:03:30Hey, what's that?
00:03:30Hey, I got a chain.
00:03:32Hey, just take it easy, man.
00:03:34No.
00:03:34I got it.
00:03:36I got a chain.
00:03:37Mia.
00:03:41Are you insane?
00:03:44Not in front of everyone?
00:03:48Relax.
00:03:48I haven't told anybody anything yet.
00:03:52Well, did you hit your head too hard at practice and start imagining things?
00:03:56No.
00:03:56You left your laptop open and I saw everything.
00:04:00Oh, idiot.
00:04:02Listen, I'm not here to expose you or anything.
00:04:06I want to hire you.
00:04:07Then why don't you use the app like everyone else?
00:04:11Well, because it's not for a school assignment or anything like that.
00:04:13It's something personal.
00:04:17You know, totally art well.
00:04:21I'm the only girl in school who actually writes her own essays.
00:04:24I need your help in writing her a letter.
00:04:29Actually, it's a love letter.
00:04:34So you did hit your head.
00:04:36Look, I'm not trying to blackmail you or anything.
00:04:38I need your help.
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:40You keep your secret.
00:04:41I get what I want.
00:04:42Everybody wins.
00:04:44That's literally the definition of blackmail, you moron.
00:04:47The school is on to me.
00:04:50If he talks, it's over.
00:04:52No college, no future.
00:04:54I'll double your rate.
00:04:58What?
00:04:59I'll pay you.
00:05:01Listen, this is really important to me.
00:05:05So name your price.
00:05:08No.
00:05:09Hey, come on.
00:05:11You can't leave me here.
00:05:11I'll be in the girl's bathroom.
00:05:14Hey.
00:05:17Miss Brooks, we need to talk.
00:05:40Your mother's treatment, insurance won't cover the next phase.
00:05:45Without payments.
00:05:46I'm getting money.
00:05:48Okay, but we don't have much time.
00:05:50I'm getting money.
00:06:16All that work.
00:06:20All those words.
00:06:22And it's still not enough.
00:06:24I didn't take you for a midnight caller.
00:06:43I'll do it.
00:06:45But under one condition.
00:06:47We don't even write some love letters anymore.
00:06:56You're not close.
00:06:57Yeah, well, Chloe's a different kind of girl.
00:06:59She likes to read books, and she's a writer, and she's in a very romantic thing.
00:07:03So I don't want to just go over to her like she's any other girl.
00:07:07I want to impress her.
00:07:09Aren't you dating Samantha?
00:07:10You know, that was just a rule.
00:07:22Trust me, we were never really a thing.
00:07:25So, will you do this for me?
00:07:27All right.
00:07:32All right.
00:07:33Show me what you wrote.
00:07:42All right.
00:07:46Hey, Chloe.
00:07:47I think you're really cool.
00:07:51Not just regular cool, but cool.
00:07:57You make me feel weird.
00:07:59Not bad weird.
00:08:01Good weird.
00:08:04Like when I score a basket, and people cheer.
00:08:06But also, like when I eat too many tacos, and my stomach gets all twisty.
00:08:13Rad.
00:08:14That's not bad.
00:08:16That's for you.
00:08:16Yeah, you obviously need my heart.
00:08:21Okay.
00:08:21But I need something in return.
00:08:25Listen, Mia, you're a really cool girl.
00:08:26I just don't see you like that.
00:08:27I need you to help me get with Dan.
00:08:36Dan.
00:08:37Big bad Dan.
00:08:39Yes.
00:08:40Dan, shut up.
00:08:42You're joking.
00:08:43You're not joking.
00:08:44Okay, if that's what you want to do, you got yourself a deal.
00:08:49Flattery metaphors.
00:09:02A little poetic flair.
00:09:04Easy.
00:09:05Making it sound like Brad actually wrote it?
00:09:08Nearly impossible.
00:09:09Oh, this is gold.
00:09:15Glowie, you're the kind of story.
00:09:18I told you she was a total lesbo.
00:09:20Samantha, give it back.
00:09:22Samantha.
00:09:23Give it back.
00:09:25Give it back.
00:09:26Give it back.
00:09:27Oh.
00:09:27You stupid, clumsy bitch.
00:09:33Oh.
00:09:35Oh, my God.
00:09:37Really?
00:09:38Oh.
00:09:45Come on out, Mia.
00:09:52Don't be shy.
00:09:53Here for some action, nerd?
00:09:56Oh, dicks of the body, legendary.
00:09:58No.
00:09:58No, I, no, it's the wrong room.
00:10:00I.
00:10:01Hey.
00:10:01Hey.
00:10:02What are you doing?
00:10:03Hey, back up.
00:10:05Come on out, Mia.
00:10:06Don't be shy.
00:10:07Don't open the door.
00:10:09No, if they want something to stare at, I'll give them something to stare at.
00:10:12Back up.
00:10:13Come on.
00:10:16Hey, ladies.
00:10:19Oh, my God.
00:10:21All right, let's go.
00:10:25Whoa.
00:10:26Hey, Brad.
00:10:27Clothes.
00:10:27Now.
00:10:28Sorry, uh, Samantha was knocking on the door and, you know.
00:10:30I, I, she, this was it.
00:10:32Yeah, yeah, enough.
00:10:33To the principal's office, all of you.
00:10:36Get some clothes on.
00:10:38Will do.
00:10:38Thank you, sir.
00:10:41Hey, they're gone.
00:10:42You can open your eyes.
00:10:43Yeah, that's not why I'm keeping them shut.
00:10:46Oh, Samantha.
00:10:47Yeah.
00:10:47Yeah.
00:10:51I think I might be blind now.
00:10:56How do you have zero shame?
00:10:59It's a blessing and a curse.
00:11:01Hmm.
00:11:03I think Chloe would appreciate you bearing it all.
00:11:07Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:11:08I don't.
00:11:09Relax.
00:11:10Jeez, I'm just pulling your leg.
00:11:12For someone who gets naked on command, you're pretty sensitive.
00:11:15You could have any girl in the school.
00:11:21Why Chloe?
00:11:23I don't know.
00:11:25Why does it matter?
00:11:27Did it help me write the letters?
00:11:29Well, it's like, it's like little things.
00:11:35You know, like the way that she, like, touches her nose when she's, like, concentrating.
00:11:39You know, she'll, like, take her index finger and she'll tap her nose and...
00:11:44I don't know.
00:11:45It's like, I don't even think she knows she's doing it, but...
00:11:49I can work with that.

00:13:23Tonight?
00:13:24Yeah, there's a party at Ryan's, and Dan is going to be there.
00:13:27I don't do parties.
00:13:30Well, Dan parties, so you do now.
00:13:33But I don't have anything to wear.
00:13:41Oh, God.
00:13:43You scare me.
00:13:46You look like you're about to get naked again.
00:13:47No, I, uh, I got a plan.

00:14:01Dashing.

00:14:07Ladies?
00:14:12Makeover time.
00:14:14Oh, my God, no.
00:14:16We need help.
00:14:17We need help.
00:14:20Well, take great care of her for me.
00:14:22Of course.
00:14:22Anything for the captain.
00:14:24Don't worry.
00:14:25We'll make her shine.
00:14:26Oh, nice.
00:14:26Well, I'll see you at the party.
00:14:29Brad, don't leave me.
00:14:30Have a great time.
00:14:31Good luck.
00:14:32Don't leave me here, please.
00:14:33Enjoy.
00:14:34Brad!
00:14:35We can do something.
00:14:36We can maybe put it.
00:14:37Ah, too.
00:14:38Yes, that's it.
00:15:01That's the one.
00:15:02Come on.
00:15:04Thanks, guys.
00:15:05You almost fooled me for a second, but I see you right through your pathetic little disguise.
00:15:27I see you drooling over my boyfriend.
00:15:30Brad said you guys never even dated, so.
00:15:32Because of you, I got detention.
00:15:36Oh, get out of my dorm.
00:15:38Right after we settle the score.
00:15:40What?
00:15:40Oh, my God.
00:15:41Oh, my God.
00:15:42Samantha.
00:15:43What are you doing?
00:15:50Samantha.
00:15:51No, stop.
00:15:52Stop, Samantha.
00:15:53Open the door.
00:15:55No fault for you, Cinderella.
00:15:56Don't do it.
00:15:58Hey, Mom.
00:16:15Is everything okay?
00:16:17The doctor said to stop by.
00:16:20I didn't want to wake you.
00:16:22Next time.
00:16:23Wake me.
00:16:23You know, just high school can be a lot sometimes.
00:16:29You know, most people would have cracked under a half of what you've been through.
00:16:35Not you.
00:16:36I was never that tough.
00:16:38Restless soul, neither was your father, but you.
00:16:41You don't break.
00:16:43That's your gift, baby.
00:16:45And no one can take that from you.
00:16:46So whatever's got you down, you'll figure it out.
00:16:50You always do.

00:30:21Did you start the second letter?
00:30:23Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:30:25Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:30:28Must be up.
00:30:33It's a little terrible.
00:30:50You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:53Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:59Yeah, I did.
00:31:01Very romantic.
00:31:03Very gushy.
00:31:04A lot of stargazing.
00:31:06And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:31:10Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:31:12Well, I see why she likes it.
00:31:18You really like this girl, huh?
00:31:21You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:31:27You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:31:31You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:31:35Well, I think that's really cool.
00:31:40That one's perfect for you.
00:31:46Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:48Yeah, yeah.
00:31:49That's the one.
00:31:50Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:54Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:32:02Hey.
00:32:04Hey, you are.
00:32:06I'm looking for you.
00:32:08Well, that's my cue.

00:32:33Really?
00:32:34Must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:38What?
00:32:40Babe, babe, what happened?
00:32:41Hey, I promise.

00:33:01Okay, but why do you like me?
00:33:05You're really pretty.
00:33:07And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:33:12Like, I'll be honest with you.

00:33:36You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:53You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.

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