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.
00:09:08Okay.
00:09:09Ava, I get it.
00:09:09All right, academics, that's your thing.
00:09:11Just like soccer's 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.
00:09:26For valedictorian.
00:09:32Yeah, I know.
00:09:33I know.
00:09:33If 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.
00:09:56I 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.
00:10:14All 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?
00:10:50She 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?
00:11:10Is that Ava?
00:11:14Ava?
00:11:15You know what I mean?
00:11:17You know what I mean?
00:11:17You know what I mean?
00:11:19What are you doing?
00:11:20That seems so good that you can make.
00:11:20Let's go.
00:11:50What? Are you doing charity work now?
00:11:56Nice jacket.
00:11:58It's his mom's.
00:12:00Shame to see such a great outfit go absolutely wasted.
00:12:05Even with the new clothes, you're still so painfully...
00:12:10Mid.
00:12:13Don't listen to him. You look gorgeous.
00:12:20At least when I win valedictorian, you'll be used to my sloppy seconds.
00:12:36Yes.
00:12:45Adorable. Now, if you will please excuse us.
00:12:50Hunter and I have some very important business to attend to.
00:12:54Drew needs us.
00:12:56Right, yeah.
00:12:57Business? Who's Drew?
00:12:59Um, just a soccer thing. I'll see you later for tutoring though, yeah?
00:13:05You're fucking lying to me?
00:13:17You're fucking lying to me?
00:13:19Carter, that's enough, man.
00:13:22Yo, we don't like doing this shit to you, man. We don't like it, okay?
00:13:24Just pay us the money.
00:13:26Yeah? You know who you work for?
00:13:28No. Drew Carter. You want to piss him off? I promise you.
00:13:31I heard he used a knife on the last kid. You hear that, Hunter?
00:13:33I did hear that. You want to try your luck with Drew?
00:13:35No, you don't. You got one week. You got one week, okay?
00:13:40That means get the fuck out!
00:13:56What's up, sweetly? You guys on the road yet?
00:14:01You think you left it on my bed?
00:14:03Okay, just, um, just hang tight. I'll be there soon.
00:14:08Okay. Yeah.
00:14:23Lily, you need to eat something.
00:14:26The pills always kill my appetite.
00:14:28Hey, come eat lunch with us?
00:14:42Need I remind you you're supposed to be protecting me from those people and not throwing me into the lion's den?
00:14:47Yeah, well, we have to keep up the ruse somehow.
00:14:51Speaking of, pucker up, buttercup.
00:15:02Babe!
00:15:03Not here.
00:15:04Okay, let's go to the nurse's office.
00:15:06See you guys.
00:15:29I'm so Nokikou looking at Kim.
00:15:32You're so he's a kid.
00:15:32You're down, man.
00:15:34when do you think this place will be done with renovations hopefully never
00:15:42so how long do we have to stay in here in order to sell it about an hour i'd say
00:15:57is that how long you stay with girls you actually like i don't bring girls in here
00:16:01but this is like the prime time like hookup spot on campus yeah but like you i actually have standards
00:16:09can i ask you a question are you a virgin
00:16:17you 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
00:16:37change the world for the better i'll also dabble in some regency romance novels and
00:16:43look like a young timothy chalamet so the exact opposite of me
00:16:50what about you then plenty of hookups no real girlfriends you really a man whore
00:16:57you want to find out
00:17:01what if i do
00:17:13did you really think that line would work
00:17:28huh
00:17:29it did on jessica
00:17:32let me guess your situation shift ended so bad that you swore off real dating forever
00:17:40no no i mean it was bad like definitely bad but i think it's uh i think it's more to do with with
00:17:49uh with money i'm at this school on scholarship and if i lose a scholarship i lose the opportunity to
00:17:56play in front of college scouts and if i lose that opportunity i can't go to college because obviously
00:18:01you know i don't have a college fund even though i work a bunch of jobs but it's like at the end of the
00:18:06month when the bills come in all my money's just gone
00:18:09so i guess my point is that i can't afford a girlfriend
00:18:14for the record
00:18:22the right girl won't care about money
00:18:24she'll just want someone who cares
00:18:27and
00:18:29you know not to
00:18:30give you a bigger ego than you already have
00:18:33but
00:18:35i think you'd actually make a pretty
00:18:37okay boyfriend
00:18:38come on
00:18:52dish already tell me what happened in the nurse's office
00:18:55i mean
00:18:57nothing really
00:19:00and i'd believe that if you didn't have these cute little stars floating around in your eyes
00:19:04we just talked really but it was nice i guess you know he's shockingly an okay guy
00:19:14well i always knew that
00:19:18what are you talking about sophomore year my car got a flat tire in the student parking lot
00:19:22everyone who was there started laughing at me because i couldn't change it
00:19:26except for hunter he actually got down on the ground and showed me how to do it
00:19:30speak of the devil
00:19:34making myself scarce i just realized how much i need to pee
00:19:42i asked my teachers for some extensions
00:19:54they were all actually pretty cool about it
00:19:57you know high school gets a lot easier once you realize the teachers actually want you to succeed
00:20:03yeah well they gave me all these assignments to redo for a better grade
00:20:07how long do you think it'll take you
00:20:09why so you can academically hit it and quit it
00:20:22seriously you can't even pretend to be an exclusive relationship

00:21:06holden caulfield is traumatized
00:21:08i always thought that just explained why he's such an asshole
00:21:11but you went a step further
00:21:15yeah i i thought that's why he was protecting his sister
00:21:18i've never would have considered it that way
00:21:22i was impressed
00:21:23wow that's uh that's high praise coming from you

00:21:42it's not like it matters anyway like academics isn't gonna pay for my college

00:22:43how do you make money around here i mean there's not really anyone here to tip
00:22:48yeah well you know soon i won't be able to make money anywhere because of those robots you're making
00:22:52hey i build robots to help people okay these can help visually impaired users do everyday tasks
00:23:00see this part right here it provides a color recognition and if the user presses this button
00:23:06here it uses a voice app to say out loud the color of the objects in their hand
00:23:10best of all these can help recognize the value of money if the user wants to use cash to buy something
00:23:16and it can even help with self-defense
00:23:18it can really do all that well it should i these are just prototypes and i'm still working on the
00:23:24voice app but it should be finished by the time the all-state science fair comes around prize money's
00:23:29like 15k damn i gotta get into robotics the money can help expand my work and i'll start college next year
00:23:35off with an edge gotta admit this uh this nerd is actually pretty cool i am impressed ever darling
00:23:45okay um you know what i think we should make a public appearance tonight
00:24:00appearance tonight gotta make this convincing and that means hanging with a couple of my friends
00:24:05but it's a school night if i think you'd get less from people if you just broke the rules once in a
00:24:11while they have been leaving lily alone since she's been popping pills like every other person here
00:24:17i'm not saying you gotta do that i'm just you know maybe you should pretend to fit in come on

00:42:12What?
00:42:13I called one of their little numbers and Declan picked up
00:42:17Lily overdosed
00:42:19The paramedic said that she had traces of fentanyl in her system
00:42:22Fentanyl?
00:42:22I don't know
00:42:25That's um, that's um, that's, that's terrible if I'd, is she okay?
00:42:29She will be
00:42:30I just talked to her parents, but
00:42:33God, if I would have given her the Narcan any later
00:42:37You know, she has to go to like some sober high school or something and
00:42:42I'll have no one
00:42:42I'm so sorry
00:42:47I had no idea
00:42:53There'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
00:43:01It's clean
00:43:17All right, everyone
00:43:18Boss and Lyle
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?
00:43:25You'll be getting a call from them very soon
00:43:37When I find out who did this and I will find out
00:43:44You are gonna pay
00:43:55Oh, damn it
00:44:01Gotta win it for the both of us now
00:44:10When did 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
00:44:20Look
00:44:22I know I ruined my life, but
00:44:24That's not true
00:44:26It's always possible to start over
00:44:29And you still have me?
00:44:31Yeah, thanks for saving my life by the way
00:44:34Just don't make me do it again
00:44:38I should go, my mom and dad are waiting
00:44:40See you soon
00:44:54That was soon
00:45:02You know what they say about snitches, right?
00:45:12Bye
00:45:13Bye

00:45:14Bye

00:45:21Bye
00:45:22Bye
00:45:22Bye
00:45:22Bye
00:45:24I warned you, didn't I?
00:45:26I told you to keep your shit separate.
00:45:29Ava didn't orchestrate the drug search. Come on, bro.
00:45:32Right.
00:45:34Now, if you didn't bring in that shady shipment, none of this shit would have happened.
00:45:38Fentanyl? I never agreed to sell that shit, bro.
00:45:41Keep your fucking voice down.
00:45:43You don't like it, you can leave.
00:45:46Yeah, I'll leave. I want out.
00:45:51That's fine.
00:45:53You can go. I'm not tripping.
00:45:56Just as soon as you pay me back for what you haven't sold.
00:46:00What?
00:46:02That money's gotta come from somewhere, Hunter.
00:46:05You or your customers.
00:46:08I'll let you decide which.
00:46:10And don't worry, I'm not gonna touch Ava.
00:46:13I'm letting the girls figure it out themselves.
00:46:19But where's Ava?
00:46:21I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:35And I'm getting really tired of you insulting my intelligence.
00:46:40Fine. I did it. I called in the drug search. Happy?
00:46:55Oh, you're not going anywhere.
00:46:57You're going to pay for what you just tried to do to my family.
00:47:02And, hey.
00:47:04Maybe this will take you out of the valedictorian race, too.
00:47:06Ava!
00:47:15What happened? Are you okay?
00:47:19I'm fine, I'm fine.
00:47:20I'm fine, I'm fine.
00:47:21I'm just...
00:47:22I'm going to kill you, Ava darling!
00:47:25Okay.
00:47:26Come on.
00:47:27We 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.
00:47:45My parents would ask a million questions.
00:47:48I, uh, I 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?
00:48:08Uh, just, uh, like a trip they go on every few weeks.
00:48:13It's because she's sick, right?
00:48:17Your sister, Leah?
00:48:19How'd you, how'd you know that?
00:48:24I found this in your mom's jacket.
00:48:35It's from her first hospital visit.
00:48:37I don't know why my mom keeps this stuff.
00:48:44I get it.
00:48:46Sometimes painful things are important to hold on to.
00:48:50She has leukemia.
00:48:55She's had it since she was a kid.
00:49:00And you know, it went away, but a couple years ago it came back.
00:49:05And I guess since then everything's kind of just falling apart.
00:49:09Like, 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, I offered to drop out of school and work full-time.
00:49:27But my mom refuses.
00:49:30She says Leah's gonna grow up, Hunter.
00:49:32And, you know, she's gonna need a role model.
00:49:40You know, some role model I am, you know.
00:49:43You're a good guy, Hunter.
00:49:44But your friends, your friends are psycho.
00:49:47Why do you even hang out with them?
00:49:49Loyalty.
00:49:50Nostalgia, I guess.
00:49:51I don't know.
00:49:52I mean, we were close when we were kids.
00:49:54But, you know, I guess I feel like you a lot of the time.
00:49:59You know how you said if you didn't have Lily, you'd have no one?
00:50:04Yeah, I, I don't know, I feel like I'm alone.
00:50:11Most of the time, honestly.
00:50:27Well, I guess it's good we have each other then.
00:50:34Wait, I'm, I know you said nothing physical.
00:50:55What, when?
00:50:57Sounds like your first rule, no?
00:50:59Our deal is off, anyway.
00:51:01Oh, yeah, I forgot.
00:51:03Besides, I think we might have just broken your rule, too.
00:51:11Unless you're not feeling the same things I'm feeling.
00:51:20Um...
00:51:21Right.
00:51:22Okay.
00:51:23My mistake.
00:51:24Emotions are running high today.
00:51:26You're being nice, and I shouldn't have read into that.
00:51:30Ava.
00:51:33Make signals much?
00:51:34I'm sorry, I'm just, I'm just really bad at talking about this stuff.
00:51:48But I promise you there's feelings.
00:51:50You make me feel brave enough to feel them.
00:51:53You make me feel brave, too.
00:51:55You make me feel brave, too.
00:51:56If you don't want to talk, that's okay.
00:51:57Why don't you show me?
00:51:58I thought you said you wanted to wait.
00:51:59Hunter, I trust you.
00:52:00I know.
00:52:01I'm sorry.
00:52:02What?
00:52:03What?
00:52:04What?
00:52:05What?
00:52:06What?
00:52:07What?
00:52:08What?
00:52:09What?
00:52:10What?
00:52:11What?
00:52:12If you don't want to talk, that's okay.
00:52:19Why don't you show me?
00:52:22I thought you said you wanted to wait.
00:52:25Hunter, I trust you.
00:52:29Who knows when that will ever happen again.
00:52:35I always want to be someone you can trust.
00:52:40Always.
00:52:42We'll go slow, right?
00:53:05Mm-hmm.
00:53:06Slow as you want.
00:53:08And we can stop anytime.
00:53:09Okay, I'm ready.
00:53:24This feels good.
00:53:26I mean, it, like, tickles, but in a good way, you know?
00:53:29Should I, should I take off my clothes?
00:53:34You know, because...
00:53:35There you go.
00:53:35Mm-hmm.
00:53:42Mm-hmm.
00:54:12Can 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.
00:54:38Uh, what do you want to say?
00:54:39I'm really starving.
00:54:49Okay, uh, 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.
00:55:01Are you getting all lovey-dovey on me, Hunter Black?
00:55:06Are you saying yes?
00:55:09I'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.
00:56:02Can I just come with you?
00:56:03Do you still trust me?
00:56:16I still trust you.
00:56:19Okay.
00:56:33I still trust you.
00:56:55Okay.
00:56:57Hey, who's there?
00:57:20Jesus, dude.
00:57:24You scared the shit out of me.
00:57:26What are you doing here?
00:57:27Hunter?
00:57:30Where are you?
00:57:48Drew was worried you'd do something stupid.
00:58:03Told me to watch the place.
00:58:06I guess he was right.
00:58:08Ava?
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
00:58:27the whole time.
00:58:27No, Ava, Ava, we can't be here right now.
00:58:29Did you sell them to her?
00:58:30The drugs Lily overdosed on?
00:58:32No, I didn't.
00:58:33I promised you I didn't.
00:58:34As soon as I found out the pills had fentanyl in my stop.
00:58:37That's why I'm here.
00:58:37I'm giving everything back.
00:58:39Ava, I can't do this shit anymore.
00:58:41I don't want to do this shit anymore.
00:58:43You showed me that I can be better, Ava.
00:58:45I want to trust you.
00:58:50You still lied to me.
00:58:54Okay, I'm not asking you to trust me right now.
00:58:56I'm asking you to give me a chance to prove that you can.
00:58:58Because I love you, Ava.
00:59:02Don't, don't say that if you don't mean it.
00:59:10I mean it.
00:59:22I love you too.
00:59:23As long as I have you, I don't, I don't care what happens to me next.
00:59:36You know what we have to do, right?
00:59:38We have to go to the cops now.
00:59:44Look who we have here.
00:59:46Two for the price of one.
00:59:53I told you I wanted out.
00:59:57You really thought it was going to be that easy?
01:00:02I, I, I, where do you think you're going?
01:00:08Hey, let her go!
01:00:09Ah!
01:00:23Trust me, that next shot won't be in the air.
01:00:35To the warehouse.
01:00:37Now.
01:00:42One shot to navigate.
01:00:43The navigate.
01:00:43Keep it in there.
01:00:43Bring it down.
01:00:50Move.
01:00:51Hold, Hunter.
01:00:55The hell is wrong with you guys?
01:00:56This is crazy.
01:00:57No.
01:00:58This is survival.
01:01:02Look who it is.
01:01:11Hit her, baby.
01:01:14Ava!
01:01:15That's my girl.
01:01:18Tie her up.
01:01:21Hunter!
01:01:24Fucking let her go.
01:01:25Inside!
01:01:26Now!
01:01:37Come on, man.
01:01:38Don't do this.
01:01:39Oh.
01:01:43Declan, you killed Lauren.
01:01:46Her OD wasn't an accident, man.
01:01:48He's a monster.
01:01:49I know.
01:01:51You know, what are you...
01:01:53Aren't you fucking angry?
01:01:55Of course I'm fucking angry.
01:01:56What am I supposed to do about it, huh?
01:01:58If they go down, they're going to take me down with them.
01:02:08Shit.
01:02:14We have to do something.
01:02:15They can't pull this shit again.
01:02:17Hey, don't worry, baby.
01:02:18I know just what to do.
01:02:20I know just what to do.
01:02:34You're afraid, aren't you?
01:02:36Fuck off.
01:02:37You are.
01:02:39You're always afraid.
01:02:40Not just now.
01:02:41That's why you have to crawl and scrape and bite for power every chance you get.
01:02:48Deep down inside, you're more afraid than anyone else.
01:02:54And now you've shacked up with this psycho.
01:02:56Just because you don't have to do this, you can still...
01:02:58I said shut up!
01:03:01Gaggar.
01:03:02Ava's a good person, Declan.
01:03:26She doesn't deserve it.
01:03:26She saved me, man.
01:03:29She showed me that I'm not alone.
01:03:32That's what I thought, too.
01:03:34About Lauren.
01:03:37Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:03:40I really loved her.
01:03:51You 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.
01:04:04Wait, 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.
01:04:17Then why not?
01:04:18I got away with the last song.
01:04:23Please, Declan.
01:04:24Don't let them hurt Ava.
01:04:26Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:04:28Do you have a better idea?
01:04:50I'm gonna have a lot of fun making sure you choke this down.
01:04:54Baby, I'm going to go, Rex.
01:04:58Just 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.
01:05:13Please.
01:05:24Hunter.
01:05:36No, 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 it.
01:05:42Don't do this to me.
01:05:43Come on.
01:05:49Hunter, what are you doing?
01:05:54Yeah, 911, I need help.
01:05:57Cops?
01:05:58How do you, you can't do that?
01:05:59I don't fucking care.
01:06:01I'm at 5246 Pine Lane.
01:06:03You gotta hurry.
01:06:09Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:06:11Go, get out of here.
01:06:13Come with me, man.
01:06:14If they find you, they'll arrest you.
01:06:16You'll go to jail.
01:06:18Yeah, would you have left Lauren?
01:06:19Lauren?
01:06:24Run.
01:06:28Run.
01:06:29Run.
01:06:38Don't do this to me.
01:06:39Come on, don't do this.
01:06:54There she is.
01:06:59You flew in for my graduation?
01:07:05Great speech.
01:07:07Wasn't a dry eye in the house.
01:07:09They're all just impressed because I got shot.
01:07:12Can I see the scar?
01:07:16Went straight through.
01:07:18Didn't even hit a nerve.
01:07:20Doctor said it was a miracle.
01:07:21You're such a badass.
01:07:25And a total genius.
01:07:31So, how about we talk about the elephant in the room?
01:07:35Why haven't you seen Hunter?
01:07:37I heard he just got out of prison.
01:07:41He knows you gave the science fair prize money to his family, right?
01:07:45I'm assuming someone told him.
01:07:48Are you mad at him?
01:07:50No.
01:07:51He gave up everything for me.
01:07:53Of course I'm not mad at him.
01:07:56He saved my life.
01:07:58More than that, he probably saved a bunch of lives.
01:08:01You know, his testimony sent Drew and Rex away for life.
01:08:05And Jessica got ten years.
01:08:06And his cooperation got him a shorter sentence.
01:08:08So, 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 everyone's yours.
01:08:26Doesn't exactly have a romantic ring to it.
01:08:28So, you do still like him?
01:08:36Hunter's got a lot going on.
01:08:38He hasn't seen his family in six months.
01:08:41I'm sure I'm the last person he's thinking of right now.
01:08:43I'm pretty sure that's not true.
01:08:50I should go.
01:08:51I can't even be alone for five minutes without my parents sending out a search party.
01:08:56So, last day of school tomorrow.
01:08:58We still on for our annual tradition of rom-coms and cookie dough.
01:09:02Chocolate chips, Heath Ledger, and no bras.
01:09:05Who needs drugs when you've got action like that?
01:09:09Kidding.
01:09:09I love you, you know.
01:09:14I love you too, Lilz.
01:09:24I've got good news and even better news.
01:09:39What are you doing here?
01:10:01I'm going to kill Lily.
01:10:05Please don't.
01:10:06She was actually a really good winged woman.
01:10:08Apart from her wanting me to sing you a Frankie Valli song.
01:10:12I thought it was a bit too much.
01:10:14And, you know, I can't sing for shit.
01:10:20You look good.
01:10:23So do you.
01:10:28I'm so sorry.
01:10:29I know I don't deserve your forgiveness.
01:10:31Look at me.
01:10:32What?
01:10:32You saved me, Hunter.
01:10:36You 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?
01:10:52Are you going to re-enroll next fall somewhere?
01:10:54Where I actually managed to get my GED while I'm in prison.
01:10:58What?
01:10:59Yeah.
01:10:59That's incredible, Hunter.
01:11:01Well, the smartest girl I know taught me how to study, so it wasn't too hard.
01:11:04I think I'm just going to 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.
01:11:25That's where you come in.
01:11:26You know, I could really use a good tutor.
01:11:28That could work.
01:11:34Really?
01:11:37Because...
01:11:38I could really use a boyfriend.
01:11:46So come here already.
01:11:47Yeah, I just want her to be forever, girl.
01:11:52Yeah, I just want her to be forever, girl.
01:11:56I love the ground.
01:12:00No one can stop me now.
01:12:02Yeah, I just want her to be forever, girl.
