00:22:00My favorite book is The Night Service, and I'd love to know yours.
00:22:06See?
00:22:08Wow.
00:22:09She doesn't hate me.
00:22:11Yeah.
00:22:12This is great.
00:22:13So what do I do?
00:22:14Do I ask her out?
00:22:17What?
00:22:18No.
00:22:18No, no, no, no, no.
00:22:20Uh, we, we need to write back first, obviously.
00:22:25Uh, what's your favorite book?
00:22:29I don't know, Shrek?
00:22:32Brad, that's a movie.
00:22:33There's a book.
00:22:35There's a book.
00:22:36You're a walking tragedy.
00:22:38We're going to the library.
00:22:40Mia.
00:22:42A word.
00:22:45We both know these jocks didn't write their essays.
00:22:50The principal wants to see you in his office.
00:22:55Okay.
00:23:09You wanted to see me?
00:23:10We're investigating an academic fraud ring, Paper Hearts.
00:23:14Know anything about it?
00:23:16Nope.
00:23:17Well, we traced the phone number late to the app.
00:23:19We're about to call it.
00:23:21I'm giving you one chance to tell me the truth before we do.
00:23:25Uh, I, I don't know anything about it.
00:23:53She's not involved.
00:23:55I've known me a long time.
00:23:57She's a diligent and honest student.
00:24:00Well, if you hear anything, we expect your cooperation.
00:24:05Of course.
00:24:17Hey, back from the principal's office.
00:24:20Yeah.
00:24:20Uh, what was that about?
00:24:22I have to shut it down.
00:24:24Shut, shut what down?
00:24:27Paper Hearts.
00:24:28They're onto me.
00:24:29If I get caught, I'm done.
00:24:31Well, hey, don't worry about it.
00:24:32Look, it's going to be okay.
00:24:34I'm sure you're going to survive without scamming the school out of half of its lunch money.
00:24:39What did you just say?
00:24:41Nothing.
00:24:42Nothing.
00:24:43Listen, it's just like pocket change.
00:24:45It's going to be okay.
00:24:47You know, you know nothing about real life.
00:24:51Since the day you were born, you've just been shielded by daddy's money.
00:24:54So, write your own stupid letters from now on.

00:29:47Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:51Let's see it.
00:30:09It's not terrible.
00:30:13You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:18Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:21Yeah, I did.
00:30:23Very romantic.
00:30:25Very gushy.
00:30:27A lot of stargazing.
00:30:28And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:32Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:36Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:40You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:42You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:48You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:30:53You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:30:57So, I think that's really cool.
00:31:02That one's perfect for you.
00:31:08Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:10Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
00:31:12Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:18Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:24Hey, there you are.
00:31:28I'm looking for you.
00:31:30Well, that's my cue.
00:31:32For real.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:52I've been thinking about you.
00:31:54Really?
00:31:56Must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:00What?
00:32:01Maybe nothing happened.
00:32:03Hey, I promise.
00:32:05Look, you are the only person that matters to me.
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:10Why?
00:32:12Why what?
00:32:14Why do I matter?
00:32:16What are you into?
00:32:18I'm into you, of course.
00:32:23Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:27You're really pretty.
00:32:29And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:33Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:35I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:40Hey, but now, you were, like, really hot.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:47Anything else?
00:32:48Uh, what?
00:32:50You, like, trying to confuse me?

00:33:09You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:15You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:19I think that it's really cool.
00:33:23I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:31Let's go.
00:33:33I wish you were so good.

00:55:11Relax, desk rat. I'm not here to fight.
00:55:15And what do you want?
00:55:16Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account.
00:55:25Exhausted much?
00:55:26I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:55:28Well, that's not mine.
00:55:33Two phones. Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:55:35Get out, Jimmy.
00:55:37Smile.

00:55:39Holy shit.
00:55:40It's you. You're Paper Hearts.
00:55:42Please? Please, it's something that you can't tell anyone.
00:55:45I'll do your homework, your essays, whatever you want.
00:55:47I don't care about any of that.
00:55:49Then what do you want?
00:55:50I want the truth.
00:55:51Why is Brad always with you?
00:55:57I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:02Hey.
00:56:03Hey.
00:56:03Hi.
00:56:04You look beautiful.
00:56:07How was your class?
00:56:08It was good.
00:56:09It was good.
00:56:10Ready for practice, Peter?
00:56:10Yeah.
00:56:11Hey, Mia.
00:56:13Mia.
00:56:15Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:56:17I, um...
00:56:19Chloe.
00:56:19This is Mia, my good friend.
00:56:22And Mia, this is Chloe.
00:56:24My girlfriend.
00:56:27Hi.
00:56:28Brad talks about you all the time.
00:56:30Yeah, same.
00:56:33Um...
00:56:34I actually had something to tell you.
00:56:36Yeah, what's up?
00:56:38Uh...
00:56:39I...
00:56:41I broke up with Dan.
00:56:43Oh, really?
00:56:45Well, that's great.
00:56:45He's, uh, a total moron.
00:56:48Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Well, it's you guys around.
00:56:53Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh, come to the game later?
00:56:56Yeah.
00:56:57I'll sit with you if you want.
00:56:58Yeah, it'll be great.
00:56:59Yeah, maybe.
00:57:00Um, see you guys around.
00:57:02Okay, I'll have you there.
00:57:24Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:57:26Mm-hmm.
00:57:28Shame, it's all a lie.
00:57:29My figure.
00:57:31I'm sorry, let's...
00:57:33I'm sorry, let's...
00:57:33I'm sorry.

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