19:49You deserved everything you worked for.
19:51I just, uh, got the news a little earlier.
19:55The dress?
19:56Well, that I couldn't resist.
20:00Annie, you should know I'm not a quitter.
20:04You'll slip up, and I'll take you back.
20:16Oh, wait a minute.
20:17Wait, whoa, whoa.
20:21Nice dress.
20:23It must have good taste.
20:26You're not so bad yourself.
20:29Trying to impress somebody?
20:31Actually, yes.
20:34You're drinking a lot?
20:35You nervous?
20:36I'm human.
20:37So, yes.
20:38I know a way to relax.
20:39You're drinking a lot?
20:40You nervous?
20:41I'm human.
20:42So, yes.
20:43I know a way to relax.
20:44Follow me.
20:45No way.
20:46No way.
20:47Trust me.
20:49I know a way to relax.
20:50I know a way to relax.
20:51Follow me.
20:52No way.
20:53Trust me.
20:54No way.
20:56What?
21:05I know a way to relax.
21:09Trust me.
21:10Trust me.
21:12Trust me.
21:22No way, what if somebody sees?
21:24You wanna think I dragged you out here to hook up?
21:28Yeah.
21:30Yeah.
21:32You still follow me.
21:34Interesting.
21:36Okay, then how am I supposed to calm down?
21:48Okay.
21:52Just focus on the voice.
21:54Like no one else is here.
21:56Cause that's not distracting at all.
22:00No.
22:02Is this part of the exercise too?
22:18You're such an idiot.
22:22Australian.
22:24Family, you can't put your own.
22:26Let's go.
22:28Do you want me to find a Yuki?
22:30No.
22:32Hey, guys.
22:34Have fun.
22:36Bye.
22:38I'm so excited.
22:40I can't wait a long time.
22:42No.
22:43Hi.
22:44Bye.
22:46Bye.
22:48Bye.
22:50Hi.
23:00Uh, first of all, I'd love to thank everyone here today who made this possible.
23:09Sneaking out to see your little protégé?
23:12Sneaking out to see your little protégé?
23:15Out of my way, Elliot.
23:16You know, most people here see us as a unit.
23:20Our families, our history.
23:22I don't give a damn. I know what you did.
23:24Well, do tell.
23:26You played us.
23:28The goodbye note, the wrong text.
23:30It was only you.
23:32That's quite the acquisition.
23:34Do you have any proof?
23:36Yeah, I didn't think so.
23:39Well, the most important part is that she got the scholarship because I allowed it.
23:43No, she got it because she worked her ass off for it.
23:47And yet, one word for me, and she could lose it all.
23:57You should be nicer to me, Nicholas.
24:04Nick, come here, Nick, come here.
24:05Someone let you be over.
24:06Come here, come here.
24:07Hi, I'm Ellie Astor.
24:21I'm Ellie Astor.
24:24Nick's ex?
24:25As much as I want to tear her hair out, it's her name on the scholarship I just won.
24:29Astor, as in the Astor scholarship?
24:32Yeah, my family funds a lot of the university.
24:35Oh, I should probably say thank you.
24:38Oh, I'm sure you worked hard to get it.
24:41I, um, I saw you with Nick.
24:44I don't know what you're talking about.
24:47Look, sleeping your way to the top might work for some circles, but not mine.
24:54You're just a fling, Annie.
24:57Nick assured me I wasn't getting any preferential treatment.
24:59Oh, did he ever tell you about the first student that he slept with?
25:06I don't believe you.
25:07You should talk to Nick about Nicole the next time you spread your legs for him.
25:13Trace?
25:16Just so you know, Nick will be in my bed tonight, not yours.
25:20Rough night?
25:38How do you always find me?
25:39You're predictable.
25:42Come on, Annie.
25:43Can you really say that Nick makes you happy?
25:46We're not together.
25:47How does he even fit into your life?
25:50I mean, you like stability.
25:52You want a future.
25:54Not some messy, self-destructive fling with a guy who has nothing real to offer you.
25:59You play it safe.
26:01You have a secure job.
26:03A debt-free life.
26:05You don't like risks.
26:07You want something solid.
26:08And that's what Nick is.
26:13A risk.
26:18He's wrong.
26:19I do take risks.
26:21I took one the night I met Nick, and maybe it was stupid, maybe it was a mistake, but I never regretted it.
26:27If I walk away now, I'll never know if I was right about him.
26:29I don't need your advice, Sam.
26:38What the hell are we doing here?
26:40Who's Nicole?
26:41Don't lie to me.
26:43Nicole was just a student, okay?
26:45She had a crush on me, but Ellie saw an opportunity.
26:48What'd you do?
26:51When Ellie wanted out, she used Nicole.
26:55Nicole kissed me, Ellie got photos, that's it.
26:58How am I supposed to believe you when I don't even know you?
27:01Annie, you do know me.
27:02No, I don't.
27:02I know this sweet guy from the beach who made stupid jokes, knocked his professor in a tux with an evil ex-wife in Scandal about to happen.
27:09Then why are you still here?
27:23Oh.
27:24Oh.
27:26Oh.
27:27Oh.
27:27Oh.
27:54Oh.
27:54Oh.
27:55Oh.
27:55There. Now you can go back out there. Like this? Everyone should know.
28:12Annie Collins is ruining something that belongs to me. And I know you've been watching her.
28:25What exactly do you want from us? I want her drowning in yours. Paranoid. Isolated. Questioning
28:36her own reality. Right? Do what you do best. And don't disappoint me.
28:52Why did you bring me here? Just trust me.
29:06You deserve something beautiful today. And I wanted to see something even more. You've
29:16under the stars. That's really corny. I think it worked.
29:26What does space sound like? It's silent because it's a vacuum and there's no air for sound to travel through.
29:44Good. Because I want you to pay attention to me.
29:54Oh my god. Did you see the pictures?
30:10I always knew she looked sketchy.
30:20Before you tell me to fuck off, I'm here for business.
30:38Ellie, our business is over. Well, you might want to take a look at that.
30:44What the fuck is that? Evidence. Receipts. Proof that your little Annie isn't some doe-eyed innocent.
30:52Go on. This is what she does. She finds vulnerable men, warms her way in, and bleeds them dry.
31:08Okay, even if she has made some mistakes, that's not who she is now. She lost her parents and she's doing the best she can on her own.
31:14Oh, sweetheart. She didn't lose her parents. They're alive and well in Minneapolis. Just two junkies running a scam.
31:26She really didn't tell you any of this?
31:30Well, something to think about.
31:34Oh, and congratulations on Researcher of the Year.
31:39I know it's not official yet, but they'll make the announcement at the event.
31:43I'll see you there.
31:46I knew something was off.
32:00I had no idea you were so talented.
32:04And here I thought you were struggling with tuition.
32:08All right.
32:11Let's start.
32:16So I had a chance to look through all your papers.
32:18There was one that stood out.
32:20Great structure.
32:22Perfect example of what I'm looking for.
32:29Well done, Collins.
32:31That's hers? No way.
32:34Um, Professor?
32:36Mm-hmm?
32:37This entire essay has already been uploaded to Google Scholar.
32:43Yeah. Word for word.
32:45She stole it?
32:49That's not true.
32:51Thank you, Damien. I'll look into it.
32:54Is it true?
32:55I said I'll look into it.
32:56Nick, you don't believe me?
32:58You don't believe me?
33:07First an escort, now a cheater.
33:10What's next?
33:17Leave it open.
33:18Nick, none of this is true.
33:19Which one?
33:20Photos?
33:21Plagiarism?
33:22Did your parents really pass away?
33:23They're in Minneapolis.
33:24Why'd you lie?
33:25Because I was ashamed.
33:26Was anything you said real?
33:27You actually believe that those are real?
33:28Yeah.
33:29What am I supposed to believe?
33:30You're supposed to trust me like I trusted you.
33:31You're supposed to trust me like I trusted you.
33:32You're supposed to trust me like I trusted you.
33:37You know what's funny?
33:38I actually thought you were going to do it.
33:39You know what's funny?
33:40I actually thought you were going to do it.
33:41You know what's funny?
33:42I actually thought you were different.
33:43Oh no!
33:45What do you want?
33:46What are you doing?
33:47Why'd you lie?
33:48Because I was ashamed.
33:49What, was anything you said.
33:50What?
33:51Was anything you said real?
33:52What are you supposed to believe?
33:53You actually believed that those are real?
33:54You know what am I supposed to believe?
33:55You're supposed to trust me like I trusted you.
34:03You know what's funny?
34:05I actually thought you were different.
34:06What?
34:07Why did you lie?
34:08I got to put the restaurant on the street in the restaurant.
34:17After checking out the restaurant, first of all, is that the restaurant is open.
34:24You must be feeling pretty hopeless right now, huh?
34:48How did you get this number?
34:51There are very little things that I don't have access to.
34:55It was you.
34:58The photos, my scholarship.
35:01You ruined my life.
35:03Oh no, darling.
35:04You ruined your own life the moment you thought you could play me.
35:09What do you want?
35:10Walk away.
35:12Drop out, disappear, and live your little life somewhere else.
35:18And if I don't?
35:20Then I'll make sure you have nothing left.
35:23Oh no, it's not a story.
35:24You have nothing left.
35:25Ugh.
35:29I'm sorry.
35:31Jump up.
35:32No, no, no.
36:02Biking accident.
36:15I fell into a ditch when I was 10.
36:23It's fake.
36:32Danny, I'm outside of your apartment.
36:34I heard about Damien and your essay.
36:36I'm just here to help.
36:45I'm sure it was so disappointing when Nick abandoned you.
36:49Sure.
36:52I don't know how Damien figured it out.
36:55No one wrote about my topic.
36:56It's like someone told him.
36:59Or it was just bad luck.
37:01But Damien just knew.
37:06Well, maybe someone tipped him off.
37:08Yeah.
37:11The question is who?
37:31Annie, you are such a smart girl, but you're a little late, I'm afraid.
37:44Hey.
37:45Annie?
37:46You should have been more careful.
37:49Don't you know I'm not a quitter?
38:03My friend was so Apa, who's a bad girl?
38:09Nothing.

45:48you're going to have fun and you're making atmosphere
45:51i thought i was serving drinks
45:54If you're feeling uncomfortable, you can always pass.
45:57No, no, I'll do it.
45:59Good night, my man. You look great.
46:11What the hell is going on?
46:12Proud of yourself. You've earned this.
46:14You're late.
46:16And now, the award for outstanding researcher of the year.
46:21The recipient is Professor Nicholas Tucker.
46:40You probably think I'm standing here because I'm a great academic.
46:45But in academia, you can't just be a great scholar.
46:49You have to be a great educator.
46:52And I failed at that.
46:55And I failed at that.
46:58I watched as one of my students' lives got torn apart by lies.
47:03Saw her get bullied.
47:05Humiliated.
47:07And robbed of her scholarship.
47:08I let her take the fall for a scandal that wasn't even real.
47:11I let the world believe the worst of her because that was easier than admitting the truth that I had failed.
47:19I was too much of a coward to stand up for her when it mattered the most.
47:24But I won't make that mistake again.
47:31What the fuck was that?
47:33Do you realize how much you just humiliated yourself?
47:35Are you really pregnant?
47:37Of course I am.
47:38I know.
47:39That's interesting because the clinic called me earlier.
47:43Transfer failed.
47:45There is no pregnancy, Ellie.
47:46Give it up.
47:47Jesus, Nick.
47:48You're so fucking gullible.
47:49Why are you doing this?
47:50Because she was taking what's mine and I don't like to share.
48:02So you bribe the scholarship board?
48:05Got Victoria, Paige, and Troy to ruin Annie's life?
48:08That girl need to be put in place.
48:10She was crossing the line.
48:12Let's be honest, Nicholas.
48:14She never needed to be here in the first place.
48:17And those scholarships, they're just a tax write-off, a pure stunt.
48:24I mean, look, those kids, maybe they'll make some more money than their parents, but
48:29they'll never be in the same circle as us.
48:33And neither will your girl Annie.
48:40You alright?
48:42I know.
48:46Let's go back and I'll apologize.
48:49Good.
48:59You should be more careful next time.
49:12You should be more careful next time.
49:14I'll see you next time on the move.
49:15I can't remember.
