03:47okay
04:00you
04:01you
04:32Wait up.
04:35Sup, Trigger?
04:36Hey.
04:38I gotta catch her.
04:41Pills.
04:42Oh, did you see that?
04:43A little awkward.
04:44Not as awkward as the actual sex, but...
04:47Hey.
04:49Check it out.
04:53News flash?
04:55That shirt doesn't go with skank.
05:01Look at it!
05:02We're still fighting.
05:06Yo, this is it.
05:10First period's McNally.
05:14You got a Schultz?
05:16Dude, she's remedial.
05:19Go ahead.
05:20Bust your ass at McNally.
05:21I'll sleep through Schultz and still get in there.
05:23Yeah, all right, man.
05:24Well, you have to catch at lunch?
05:26Absolutely.
05:26All right.
05:27Hey, if you bozos need any help reading the menu, let me know.
05:44Good morning, Mr. Hooper.
05:46Mrs. Traeger?
05:47This must be Kyle.
05:48I'm Mr. Hooper, the vice principal.
05:51Hello.
05:57These are kids and their handshakes.
05:59Can we have a moment?
06:00Sure.
06:01I'm Kyle.
06:01I'll be right back.
06:16I noticed that everyone knew exactly how to respond to the sound.
06:20They knew just where to go and who to be with.
06:32I knew if I'd ever been at school before, I'd know these things, too.
06:50But nothing felt familiar here.
06:54This place was different.
06:56And so was I.
07:09I knew I'd ever been at school before.
07:34The school is supposed to provide one-on-one instruction.
07:37I thought you understood Kyle's special needs.
07:39Mrs. Traeger, I strive to meet the needs of every student.
07:43And given Kyle's situation, a personal tutor is probably best.
07:47But that is a costly arrangement.
07:48And I have some additional concerns.
07:53He spent time at a juvenile detention center.
07:56That was an improper placement.
07:57Where he engaged in an altercation.
08:00Another resident punched him.
08:02Kyle never hid back.
08:03He is currently involved in a homicide investigation.
08:07As a possible witness.
08:09He still can't remember anything.
08:11And I am afraid that his memory issues may become problematic.
08:17Mr. Hooper, Kyle is an exceptionally bright boy who is eager to learn.
08:22I think the school would be lucky to have him.
08:25We have five hours of testing ahead of us.
08:28We should get started.
08:29I've already tested Kyle.
08:31His IQ is phenomenal.
08:33Mrs. Traeger, aptitude and IQ are not the same thing.
08:36And since we do not have any former school records for Kyle, I can't even consider a personal tutor until
08:43we determine his grade level.
08:44What kind of tests are we talking about?
08:46Well, assuming he's around 16, I'll administer the standard 10th grade placement exams and we shall see how he does.
08:56He's a great kid.
08:58And he's so happy to be here.
09:13Hello, everybody.
09:14I hope your instruments haven't gathered too much dust over the summer.
09:17But my guess is this is the first time most of them have been out of their cases since June.
09:24The good news is we've got some very talented musicians joining the band this year.
09:30In fact, we finally have a French horn to bring down a branch.
09:33Kyle, there you are.
09:36I have to leave now, but Mr. Hooper's going to give you some tests.
09:40Tests?
09:41Yeah, to see what you've learned and what the school still needs to teach you.
09:45He loves math. That's a good place to start.
09:47Thank you. I'll take it from here.
09:49Okay, so you have your money for lunch?
09:51And I think you're all set?
09:53Thanks.
09:54You're going to do fine.
09:55Bye.
09:57Bye.
09:58All right, Kyle.
09:59Let's get started.
10:16Okay.
10:19Fire up those brains and check this out, people.
10:22Solve it.
10:23By the end of the semester, you get an automatic A in my class.
10:27A professor at MIT presented this problem.
10:31It took his students six weeks to crack it.
10:35Sort of like a mathematical Mount Everest, if you will.
10:43Traeger comma Lori.
10:47Discussing the Jacoby algorithm?
10:50Um, what?
10:51Didn't think so.
10:53Conduct your personal business on your own time.
10:56And as for wasting mine,
10:59I'll see you after school.
11:06It was a cold, damp morning.
11:10The mist clung to the ground like a silver cloak.
11:15Continue with the next paragraph.
11:17Uh, Toby.
11:22Pass.
11:24I'm afraid I don't offer that option.
11:41Grandfather's hat was still in the gravel.
11:50Pat.
11:54Near the...
11:56Gurn...
11:57Geraniums.
11:58That's enough.
12:01Toby, continue.
12:08From where we left off.
12:12Near the geraniums, he hadn't finished planting.
12:15Rich earth was piled next to a hole he'd prepared.
12:18Like a mound of dirt beside a fresh grave.
12:30This is not math.
12:31I'm going to start with history.
12:32Ninety minutes for that portion.
12:34I'll check on you then.
12:44Page after page of names and dates.
12:47All of them unfamiliar.
12:501492.
12:521812.
12:54George Washington.
12:56Marie Antoinette.
13:00I hadn't been taught anything yet.
13:02But I was expected to complete a test.
13:08I thought I was here to ask questions, not answer them.
13:16That bell again.
13:18Apparently it rang at precise intervals moving students at a regular pace.
13:23At least this time I knew what to do.
13:40Time to find a place again.
14:01In a morning filled with confusion, here was something that spoke to me clearly.
14:06Finally, finally, a test I could pass.
14:32Finally, a test I could pass.
14:42Once, finally, I was taken.
14:45A test.
14:45.
14:59.
15:35So what solved it?
16:05I learned to follow the ebb and flow of students, but this time, instead of scattering in every direction, they
16:12all moved to the same place.
16:15It seemed everyone was welcome here, and I thought I might find a place to belong.
16:37Oh, I wouldn't sit there.
16:40Unless you want to be known as Geekman's friend.
16:43That's what everyone calls me, because my last name's Deekman.
16:48Except some people say Dykeman, so you might also think you're Dykeman's friend, which would make you a lesbian.
16:53Whatever.
16:55Do what you want.
17:01I can't see.
17:02This is a jump.
17:04Right?
17:05Someone told you to sit here?
17:07Very funny.
17:09No.
17:10I draw, too.
17:11Sure.
17:17You do?
17:19See where Kyle's sitting?
17:21Look, if you need five bucks for lunch or something...
17:23He's sitting with LK Dykeman.
17:25And?
17:26That's social suicide.
17:28Just look out for him, Lori.
17:29Well, so are you.
17:30Let him sit with your punk-ass little posse.
17:37So Lori got, like, ten shades of pissy and called me a slut.
17:40After her freakazoid foster brother was groping me.
17:43How could I ever go there?
17:45But you've been, like, salivating over him since he messed with that cop at Deekman's party.
17:49Well, not anymore.
17:50Look at him.
17:50He's friends of Geekman.
17:55Okay, so do you want to hear something funny?
17:57Nadine Velasquez, last period, same shirt.
18:01Laugh riot.
18:02You call her a slut, too?
18:04Come on, Hills.
18:05Truce?
18:06I'm so over fighting.
18:08For reals?
18:09Because I'm so over you.
18:12Girls!
18:13Coming?
18:16You guys, come on.
18:18Should've taken off the shirt.
18:40He doesn't look like an alien.
18:42I'm telling you, the stuff I've seen him do, I got a whole file.
18:47Right.
18:48So instead of taking over the world, he's here in high school.
18:51It's part of his master plan.
18:52To recruit an army of losers like LK Deekman?
18:57Speaking of losers, how was Schultz this morning?
19:00I'm the king of that class.
19:01Bunch of morons who can't read.
19:03That's pathetic.
19:12That's the thing about comics.
19:14The mainstream stuff, it's pretty cheesy and anime.
19:20It's just a fancy word for cartoons.
19:23I like the indie press stuff.
19:25Comics like Diesel Dan.
19:28Tarsus.
19:30Vera Zero.
19:32Why do they have secret identities?
19:34To hide their amazing abilities.
19:38So they can help people without freaking them out.
19:42This is basic stuff. How can you not know this?
19:45I don't know.
19:46But what about George Washington?
19:49Yeah.
19:50How about him?
19:51Is he a superhero too?
19:54He's the first president ever of America.
19:56And Hathor.
19:58Is she on another test?
19:59Superheroes aren't real.
20:01What's wrong with you?
20:02Seriously, I know it's your first day and all.
20:05Don't you know anything?
20:06That's why I came here.
20:09To learn.
20:11You came to high school.
20:13To learn.
20:14That's a good one.
20:20Okay, look.
20:20Maybe I can help you.
20:38You get the sushi?
20:40Got the sushi.
20:41I can't believe we have an hour alone.
20:43An hour is barely enough time.
20:46Yeah, we'll make the most of it.
20:48Are you close?
20:49I'm around the corner, baby.
20:51I'll be waiting.
20:56Nicole?
20:58Uh, hang on.
20:59I just heard something.
21:01Hello?
21:04Steven, I think someone's breaking in.
21:06Get out.
21:07Now.
21:07Just go.
21:12Uh.
21:19No.
21:22No.
21:25No.
21:27No.
21:28No.
21:32No.
21:48I'm trying to make this as quick and painless as possible.
21:51And I had to leave a second.
21:53Not me.
21:55Nicole.
21:56Oh, Stephen, I was just going to call you.
21:58This is Tom from our security company.
22:00Hello, sir.
22:01What's going on?
22:01Well, I was on patrol and saw someone break in your window.
22:05Tom scared him off.
22:08Does that belong to anyone?
22:09No.
22:10I'm sure he dropped it.
22:12Probably used the handle to break the glass.
22:14Any idea who it might be?
22:15No, I'm sorry.
22:16I didn't get a good look.
22:17But there's been a number of break-ins in the neighborhood lately.
22:20I've already called in the incident, and I'll make sure that the police are aware as well.
22:23You okay?
22:24I am now.
22:26I'm sorry I scared you.
22:28I'm sure you're okay.
22:29No.
22:30You just happened to be driving by?
22:32Yeah.
22:33It's a lucky thing, huh?
22:35Now, if I can just finish up this report, I'll get out of your way, okay?
22:39Sure.
22:40This room is what?
22:42Oh, um, it's a guest room.
22:44Oh.
22:45Pardon me, but our records indicate that all your bedrooms are upstairs, no?
22:50Well, we have a temporary foster care situation.
22:53Oh, I see.
22:54I see.
22:55Well, that's nice of you folks to take someone in.
22:59How's that working out?
23:02Fine.
23:03What happens if he comes back?
23:05I'll just drive by more often, and I'll keep an eye on the house.
23:08Well, we'd appreciate that.
23:09It's my job.
23:24Gosh!
23:26Sorry.
23:28Sure you are.
23:29I hope I didn't ruin it.
23:40Anything you want to know?
23:42This is the place to find me.
23:43It's like the Fortress of Solitude.
23:45More like a good place to nap.
23:46Now, you might as well start with this.
23:52It's like...
23:53Everything.
23:55Boiled down.
23:58No problem.
24:09Okay.
24:11Look, I guess, uh...
24:14I'll see you around.
24:45I'll see you around.
24:52I'll see you around.
24:56Bye-bye.
25:20Kyle?
25:21Amanda.
25:22How's it going?
25:24Oh, you remember Charlie?
25:26Yeah, we met at Preston's party.
25:30Yes, I remember.
25:34Little, uh, light reading?
25:40Listen, uh, I know it's your first day.
25:43And I remember when I moved, it took a lot of getting used to.
25:46So if you need anything, just give me a shout.
25:53Well, uh...
25:54Okay. Bye, Kyle.
25:57We'll see you later.
26:03Big talk?
26:04He can be shy, but he's really sweet.
26:08I could be wrong, but I think he's got a problem with me.
26:12Hey, we could have a problem with you.
26:31I'm telling you, she was triple X hot. Totally into me.
26:35Dude, you're such a liar.
26:36As if you were anywhere near that hot tub.
26:38All true, man.
26:39Our stock is going way up this year.
26:44Dude, what was that about?
26:46I don't know.
26:47I think I insulted him.
26:50Well, uninsulted him.
26:52That's Toby Newworth.
26:53He's got major anger management issues.
26:56No kidding.
27:01Still on hold?
27:02Yeah.
27:04It's probably nothing, but I haven't seen that guy on patrol before.
27:07He shows up just in time.
27:09Have you heard of any break-ins in the neighborhood?
27:11No.
27:12Mr. Traeger?
27:13Sorry to keep you waiting, sir.
27:15Yes, Tom is a new employee here.
27:17Tom Foss.
27:17He just started this week.
27:19I don't know.
27:19It's just that we didn't know him.
27:20I assume you do background checks?
27:23Oh, absolutely.
27:23In fact, Tom has a very impressive military background.
27:28He's a decorated veteran, plus several years in private security, so nothing to worry about.
27:34Sounds good.
27:35No problem.
27:38He checked out fine.
27:43These suburban types, I'm telling you.
27:46Tell me something about paying a mortgage makes them all jumpy.
27:51Meanwhile, they got a guy like you looking out for them.
27:53Shoot, he couldn't be in better hands.
28:0922 volumes, over 17,000 articles, and one afternoon I'd covered the span of human history and circled the globe.
28:27I thought you'd still be here.
28:33Kyle?
28:36Charlie's a really great guy.
28:39I think you'd really like him.
28:42Because I think you're a great guy, too.
28:50But, you know, you know there's nothing between...
28:57I mean, he thought there might be, but...
29:01I just...
29:02I wanted to make sure that...
29:06You don't...
29:07Like me, do you?
29:10I just learned of every human tragedy, war, and disaster.
29:17But Amanda presented the most difficult lesson.
29:23I could tell which answer would believe her, and which she didn't want to hear.
29:30Kyle?
29:33You're my friend.
29:39Yeah.
29:42We're friends.
29:44Telling Amanda my true feelings might have brought us closer.
29:48But she belonged with Charlie.
29:50Which meant I still belonged.
29:53Nowhere.
29:55Kyle, wait.
29:57You don't have to learn everything in one day.
30:00School's over for today.
30:04Two more seconds.
30:09Now it's over.
30:22Well, so much for our afternoon rendezvous.
30:25So, you'll call the insurance company?
30:27Yeah, the glass company, too.
30:30Well, hold on.
30:31I can hang a window over the weekend.
30:34Oh.
30:36Thanks for coming to my rescue.
30:38You're welcome.
30:47Don't get that.
30:52Oh.
30:56Hello?
30:59Yes.
31:02I'm sorry, what?
31:07Oh, I'll be right there.
31:09That was a school.
31:12Trouble?
31:13Yeah.
31:14Which kid?
31:16Kyle.
31:19Kyle.
31:24Yeah, it's going to be a great game.
31:26Hey, I'll check you out later.
31:29Hey, Traeger.
31:30What's up with you today?
31:31I'm late for detention.
31:33Look, if you want to talk about what happened.
31:35What happened?
31:36Yeah, you know.
31:37You want to talk about what happened now?
31:38I figured that you can...
31:40It wasn't some friggin' basketball game, Declan.
31:42Hey, man, you catch that sex we had last weekend?
31:44Yeah, man, that sex was awesome.
31:46Nice offense.
31:47Like, I don't know Hillary told you to ask me to the party.
31:49Like, you guys didn't sit there and yuck it up at lunch?
31:51Hey, Traeger, you got it all wrong.
31:53I was just checking up on you.
31:54If you really wanted to check up on me, you would have called.
31:57And you didn't, which is fine.
31:59It's honest.
32:00But this sudden interest in my feelings or whatever,
32:03it's so fake and unnecessary because the sex was awful.
32:06Because you could give a crap about my feelings.
32:08And because you are the absolute last person
32:10that I want to talk to right now.
32:11I was asking about what happened today with Hillary.
32:40Hey, man.
32:41You're in shorts with me, right?
32:43You wise-ass.
32:46Dude, I don't know why you've got a problem with me.
32:48I don't got a problem.
32:49But you've got a problem.
32:51You're right.
32:52I do.
32:53And I'll go take care of that.
32:57Think you're smart, huh?
33:00Dude, I'm in remedial.
33:02Oh, it's a bunch of morons, then, huh?
33:03Stop!
33:06Why'd you hit him?
33:07Who's this, your boyfriend?
33:13Let's go.
33:21You know, you really are an idiot.
33:44What's happening here?
34:03The other student insists Kyle threw the first punch.
34:06I didn't hit anyone.
34:08That is not how it appeared.
34:09Mr. Hooper, all we saw was Kyle holding that boy.
34:12It looked like he was stopping him, not pushing him.
34:15Are you looking for reasons to discredit him?
34:17Mrs. Traeger, that altercation, plus Kyle's complete disregard for school rules, his wandering,
34:23the tests he simply ignored.
34:25I'm sorry, but there's just no place for a boy like Kyle in this school.
34:29He sent me a text during the last year.
34:32Traeger, comma, Lori.
34:36Have a seat.
34:40One plus two minus one until you reach 500.
34:45Legibly.
34:51How is this possible?
34:54Someone answered it?
34:56Yeah.
34:57You know, I put it up every year just to motivate you kids.
35:01Hardly anyone attempts it, let alone answers it.
35:04Well, congratulations.
35:05Someone must know a mathematician.
35:08Research the internet.
35:09No student here could possibly solve this on his own.
35:14Mr. Miller, if I can point you in the right direction, can we forget about detention?
35:24He's entitled to a one-on-one tutor.
35:26Not after today's performance.
35:29That's him.
35:30Mr. Miller, I'm in a conference.
35:31Excuse me.
35:32This is important.
35:34Did you solve my math problem?
35:37Kyle?
35:39Yes, I did.
35:41Okay.
35:41How did you do it?
35:43The Fourier series?
35:44Use Bessel functions.
35:46Kronach or Delta?
35:47I just looked at it and I knew.
35:49Please tell me what's going on.
35:53Um, Mr. Hooper, this student just solved a grad school level math problem and he can't tell me how.
35:58Well, I'm afraid this young man is not a student at this school.
36:01Well, he has to be.
36:02I have to work with him.
36:04He didn't answer a single question.
36:06Kyle.
36:08Why didn't you?
36:09I didn't know the answers.
36:10You see?
36:11But I do now.
36:14Let him take the test.
36:16Testing must be completed in a five-hour period for the scores to be valid.
36:21There's 30 minutes left.
36:22Just give him the test.
36:26I'll do it.
36:29You see?
36:30Just give him the test and get to the test.해�
36:53geht da. I'll
36:53do it. No,J.
36:53No,åŠ æ²¹.
36:56So, how'd your day go?
36:58Awesome.
36:59I want a transfer.
37:02Hey, what happened?
37:05I'll be outside.
37:09Yeah, taxes are crazy.
37:11The coach is going nuts.
37:12He's all over me, though.
37:14See you guys later.
37:24Look, I know I was super harsh before. I thought...
37:28I know what you thought.
37:30Look, this whole day sucked, so it wasn't about you, okay?
37:34It was a little about me.
37:37Yeah. Well, it was mostly bad timing.
37:45Declan! We're going for coffee. Come with?
37:51No, I'm good.
37:58You didn't have to do that.
38:00Wanted to.
38:06I should apologize.
38:07Yes, you should.
38:09But you don't have to.
38:11Look, I screw up all the time.
38:14Maybe it's your turn.
38:16Sounds fair.
38:22You okay?
38:25I'll live.
38:33Hey, Traeger.
38:35Define awful.
38:38I'll see you tomorrow.
38:51Done.
38:52Done?
38:53Done? With, uh, which section?
38:55All of them.
38:58That's... that's not possible.
39:00Totally is.
39:02Good going, Kyle.
39:03Now, hold on here. I... I still have to grade them.
39:06I think that's just a formality, Mr. Hooper.
39:09So, when can he start with his tutor?
39:12Well, if... if his scores measure up, first thing tomorrow morning.
39:18Nice job, Kyle.
39:20I'll see you soon.
39:24I don't want a tutor.
39:27Well, but Kyle, I thought you wanted to go to school.
39:30I do.
39:31And I like that.
39:36Now, explain this to me.
39:38That whole private tutor was such a sweet deal.
39:41But you want to go to class with the rest of us.
39:45If I don't, I'll be alone.
39:47You'll be lucky.
39:48No vicious backstabbers to deal with.
39:50And those are her friends.
39:56Seriously, it's not like you need to go to school.
39:58You already know everything.
39:59Facts.
40:01Maybe some dates.
40:02But if I'm stuck with a tutor all day, I'll never learn what I really need to know.
40:09Why do people do what they do?
40:23Hey.
40:24Hey.
40:30Thanks for helping me today.
40:33No worries.
40:34Yeah, that's him.
40:35That's him.
40:37People are looking.
40:43So?
40:44It's been here.
40:45It's been here.
40:46Weird.
40:48I think weird is good.
40:52I saw what you did.
40:55Kabla!
40:57Swoosh!
40:59Bam!
41:02You know, vanquished.
41:04Kabla!
41:06I know I said superheroes aren't real, but...
41:13Keep it.
41:16Keep it.
41:26Keep it.
41:32Keep it.
41:44I still don't know if I'd ever been to school before that day.
41:48And I wish I could have learned something.
41:51Anything that would have helped me remember my past.
41:55You said this is a used up world.
41:59You said this is a used up world.
42:07Still every day I spent here became a part of my own history.
42:11And if I wanted to learn people,
42:13I knew that part of that meant learning from my own choices.
42:17And making new choices tomorrow.
42:28He said he read the entire encyclopedia.
42:32He probably flipped through and jogged his memory.
42:34And then got a perfect score?
42:38How could he know that much?
42:40How could he know that much?
42:40He said it was a while when I was younger and I was a kid?
42:48How could he know that much?
42:53How could he know that much?
43:07He said it was all a while.
43:07You said it was a while.
