Transcript
00:04Okay, did I accidentally post a naked pic on Snapple site or something?
00:07What? No, Sadie!
00:09Your Celsius addiction has gotten way out of control.
00:11You were way too peppy for 8 a.m., even for a cheerleader.
00:14Why are you still jumping?
00:15Why aren't you jumping?
00:18Oh, my God.
00:19You don't know, do you?
00:21Know what?
00:21Where's your phone?
00:22In my locker.
00:24No, stop it.
00:24What are you doing?
00:25My dad said if he finds out amusing you at school, he'll ground me.
00:27And, God, why are there, like, ten people staring at me right now?
00:31Ten people.
00:33Try ten million!
00:35Holy crap.
00:51I know you're more of an English and poetry person than a math and physics girlie,
00:55but do you really think that guitar is going to fit into that locker?
00:59I booked a practice room for study hall, and I just don't want to take it to class and then
01:02have everybody...
01:03Look at you for once?
01:04Ha ha.
01:05But, yes, actually...
01:07Then they can look at me.
01:09They already do.
01:10You're hot.
01:11I'm...
01:12Gorgeous!
01:13Sadie Sky, listen to me.
01:14We are halfway through senior year, and all you spent your time doing is writing songs alone in your bedroom
01:19that you don't let anyone listen to.
01:21Check the Berklee College of Music admissions stats page, like, every hour.
01:25And...
01:26Obsess over...
01:27Oh, Garcia.
01:40What's up, Berklee?
01:41Don't jinx it.
01:42I'm not in yet.
01:43My audition tape is due on...
01:44Saturday night.
01:45You remembered.
01:47They said the pot fried your brain.
01:49My 5.0 GPA says otherwise, miss.
01:51I almost feel pre-algebra as a sophomore.
01:53Oh, okay, well, at least I didn't almost sleep through the AP lit test.
01:57Welcome you to a class, Garcia?
01:59Hey, Bia.
02:02Okay, so do you think they're, like, dating, dating, or just checking out...
02:05Girl...
02:05Not a word on ya.
02:13Sadie.
02:17Sorry.
02:38Hey, that's more like it.
02:39Yeah.
02:39I will never get another B again.
02:42Can I have my phone back, please?
02:45If I hear that it's out of school, it's gone again.
02:47For a month this time.
02:49Yes, sir.
02:50So do you have to understand why I punished you?
02:52I'm the mayor of Seaview.
02:53You can't make this family look bad.
02:55Like getting a B on a physics test?
02:57Are you kidding me, Dad?
02:58Mom would have never treated me like this.
03:00Don't talk to me about your mother, Sadie.
03:02I know you want to be an artist just like her, but look how that turned out.
03:07Look.
03:08You need to get serious about school.
03:11College applications are due this month.
03:12And if I find out that your little music dreams are deterring you from our plan...
03:17You won't pay for college, I know.
03:18If you don't get serious, you won't be going to college.
03:20You'll be staying home, interning for my company.
03:23Does that mean you'll be spending more than five minutes with me?
03:27Didn't think so.
03:46God, why are there like ten people staring at me right now?
03:49Try ten million.
03:56Oh my gosh, everyone's going to see her video now.
03:58Maybe Ariana Grande saw it.
03:59Maybe she's going to invite you to perform with her at the Grammys.
04:01Everyone's going to be there and everyone's going to watch it.
04:03And then you're going to be in her music video.
04:04Everyone's going to see you, Sadie.
04:06Everyone.
04:08Is it going viral for being a badass singer-songwriter?
04:10Like a dream?
04:12For some people, I guess.
04:13But you know, my dream has always been...
04:15Mark Lee.
04:16Sadie, I know.
04:17But this is a good thing.
04:18Come on, let's see how many hot, famous people have slid into your DMs.
04:22I hope it's Timothee Chalamet or Zendaya or both.
04:26Well, what does it say?
04:27Crap.
04:28Kid Havoc.
04:30You know who that is?
04:31Yeah, of course.
04:32You know who that is?
04:33He's like a sick music producer.
04:35Of course.
04:36He's like a totally hot e-boy influencer.
04:39What does it say?
04:40Sick song.
04:41Call me.
04:42A disco ball emoji, then his phone number.
04:45Well, call him.
04:47No, no, wait.
04:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:50Don, I'm going to kill you.
04:52Hi.
04:53Who is this?
04:54Just text me like a normal person.
04:56Oh, wait.
04:56This is Sadie.
04:57Sadie Sky.
04:59You said you liked my song and to call you?
05:01Oh, for sure.
05:02Sadie.
05:03Oh, I love your sound.
05:04Listen, I think you're hype and we could be lit together.
05:07You're in Cali, right?
05:09Look, there's this event this afternoon in LA and I think you would really vibe with my people.
05:13Big names and pop.
05:15I'll text you to Addie.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Yes.
05:18Um, is it like after school or like, hello?
05:23He hung up.
05:24Holy crap.
05:25You have to go.
05:27What?
05:27No, LA is like over two hours away.
05:29I have class.
05:30No.
05:30So?
05:33Sadie, I say this with all the love in the world, but you're going to have to start living
05:38more life if you're going to be writing music about it.
05:41Go to LA.
05:43Go.
05:44Okay.
05:46Wait.
05:47We have to switch office first.
05:52We came upon you.
06:07What the hell are you doing?
06:09Ditching class, duh.
06:11You don't ditch class.
06:13Okay, fine.
06:13I don't, but you do.
06:14And I need your help.
06:15I need to get to LA.
06:15LA?
06:17Now.
06:17Yeah, you said you go there all the time to visit your brother.
06:20Um, kind of.
06:23Yeah.
06:23Okay, so are you down?
06:26Do you have plans with Bia?
06:28Will she be mad?
06:29What?
06:30Why would Bia get mad?
06:31It's not like she's my girlfriend.
06:32And you have no reason to say no to me.
06:34Now, come on.
06:35Come on.
06:38Okay.
06:39Um, like, I know we've known each other for, like, forever, and I usually wouldn't ask you
06:43this, but Anya isn't here, and she made me borrow her stupid dress and-
06:46Yes.
06:46You look okay.
06:48More than okay, Brickley.
06:50Thanks.
06:51Okay.
06:52Are you ready to go in, or-
06:53Oh, um, actually, I have something I have to deal with.
06:57Will you be okay in there by yourself?
06:59Yeah.
07:00Yeah, totally.
07:02Okay.
07:02Just text me if you need me, and we'll meet back here to ride back together.
07:12Okay.
07:13I got this.
07:14I'm just gonna go in.
07:15It's just a little music industry thing.
07:17It's no big deal.
07:31Hey, girlie.
07:32Oh my gosh.
07:33You are so pretty in, like, such a real way.
07:35But if you want my med spa girl hookup, just let me know.
07:38She does free filler in exchange for a story.
07:40You don't even have to grid post it.
07:42Yeah, yeah.
07:44What does that mean, though?
07:46How many followers do you have?
07:48Oh, I don't know.
07:49I just started posting, so it's-
07:52OMG.
07:53Sadie's guy?
07:54You're seriously blowing up.
07:56I love your song, girl.
07:58Oh my god.
07:59Yeah, totally.
08:00We should make a TikTok.
08:02Sadie, do you know the milkshake dance?
08:05Um, I don't know.
08:17Yo, Sadie.
08:19What's up?
08:20Hmm.
08:22How you holding up?
08:23This scene can be a lot for a newcomer.
08:27No, I'm good.
08:28I definitely party, so.
08:30Oh, yeah?
08:32Here.
08:36What?
08:37You need me to get you a gluten-free one, or are you Cali sober?
08:42No, this is great.
08:43This is good.
08:47Yeah, it's good.
08:48It's crap, but they're sponsors, so it's free.
08:53The alcohol?
08:54And the house.
08:55What's up, dude?
08:56How's it going?
08:56What's good?
08:57What's good?
08:57You have a chance to listen to the tape?
08:59Nah, nah, nah, nah, not yet, not yet.
09:01What's up, what's up?
09:02You know, sorry, sorry.
09:03I gotta show my girl around, but I'll be back.
09:06Come on.
09:08You have a studio in your house.
09:10I would kill for that.
09:12Yeah, I mean, music is legit everything to me, so it's cool.
09:17But, you know, it's not cool when you can't tell who likes you for you and who just wants
09:22to party at your house and post vids from it.
09:25It's like I'm always surrounded by people, but I'm also always feeling alone.
09:30Hmm.
09:31I live in, like, a really small town, and I kind of keep to myself so I can focus on
09:36music,
09:37so I'm kind of always actually alone, but it doesn't really feel, like, lonely.
09:43Damn.
09:44You're hella deep.
09:46Yo, I love that one lyric.
09:48You're always meeting me halfway, leaving me hanging in the dark.
09:52I wish you'd stay and hold me the way that you're holding my guitar.
09:56I mean, that is such a sick metaphor.
09:59Yeah, metaphor.
10:01Totally.
10:02Look, I don't really get to meet people like you, Sadie.
10:05You're not here to post vids and get followers, are you?
10:10You're here to make art.
10:12That's why I came out here, too.
10:15I didn't know if I was any good at it, but, I mean, hell, look at us now.
10:19It's crazy.
10:22Look, I know that we're hella different, but I think something in us is the same.
10:32Oh, dude, I'm sorry.
10:33I did not mean to be so forward right there.
10:37I swear, I was just trying to connect.
10:40And even if I was trying to, I'm sure you got a boyfriend.
10:43I don't.
10:43Um, I don't have a boyfriend.
10:47And I don't mind making music's all about connecting, right?
10:51Damn, Sky.
10:53You're going to be the next pop star, aren't you?
10:58Okay, sorry.
10:59Let's focus on music.
11:00Let's focus on music.
11:01Music, music, music.
11:03Let's hear your viral song.
11:04You want to hear it right now?
11:06Yeah.
11:07Come on, you said you wanted to connect, right?
11:09This is how we do it.
11:10Let's see if your song can connect with me the same way it did through a phone.
11:15Okay.
11:33You really don't have a boyfriend?
11:36No.
11:39Good to know.
11:40Good to know.
11:41What's the song about then?
11:44I don't know.
11:45I'm so close to getting everything that I want.
11:48It's like my dreams are on the edge of this cliff.
11:51And I don't want to go too far and then fall off the edge.
11:54But I also know that if I don't jump, if I don't, like, go for it,
11:57then they'll just be hanging there forever, just taunting me.
12:03You're the real deal, Sadie.
12:08Yo, I just got a sick idea.
12:10Get on the mic.
12:11I'm going to produce your song.
12:13And I'll tease it on my account.
12:15Are you sure you have, like, 15 million followers?
12:17Get in there.
12:18Let's do it.
12:19Come on.
12:20Okay.
12:22Let's take the sad out of Sadie.
12:25What do you mean?
12:26I mean you're hot.
12:27Let's lean into that.
12:29Let's make something that people want to move to.
12:32You know, what about something like, um,
12:34you turn heads when you're walking through the room.
12:38My cherry lipstick.
12:40My miniskirt.
12:42Boy, I put it on for you.
12:44Center of attention.
12:46I know it makes you mad.
12:48I forgot to mention that...
12:51I like when you play me back.
12:53Yes.
12:54All eyes on me, but I'm on you.
12:56Come on.
12:57Can you keep a secret?
12:59I can keep it too.
13:00Dude, this is fire.
13:01This is fire.
13:02Let's lay down a track.
13:03You ready?
13:04Yeah.
13:04Let's go.
13:05I see you looking at me up and down
13:08when I walk in the room, the room, the room.
13:14My cherry lipstick, miniskirt, boy,
13:17yeah, I do it just for you, for you, for you.
13:23You are my affection, yeah, I know you want it bad.
13:27Bet you think you're the exception
13:29till I go and tell you back.
13:33Eyes on me, all I'm on you.
13:37Can you keep a secret?
13:39I could keep it too.
13:41All I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
13:46I'm on me.
13:51Oops, OMG, Havoc, you're so talented.
13:55I want to get in the booth with you next.
13:58Yo, chill, okay?
13:59Tonight is about me and Sadie.
14:01Oh my gosh, Sadie, your voice is crazy.
14:05It's beautiful.
14:06You've got to come perform at my warehouse show I'm hosting next weekend.
14:09Hell yes, Max, he's the hottest DJ in LA right now.
14:13You've got to pull up today.
14:15Hey, thank you guys so much for watching us live tonight.
14:19Tonight, I'm here with my boy Ghost Montana and Tessa Habib.
14:24This girl right here, she's the next star.
14:27I'm calling it right here.
14:29It's speaking facts.
14:31You all right, y'all.
14:32I am absolutely in love with this new hit record that me and Sadie are cooking up.
14:38What do y'all think, huh?
14:39Wait, what are they saying?
14:41God, they love you, superstar.
14:43Oh my God.
14:45Hey, you good?
14:48You want me to keep streaming?
14:49No way.
15:02Dude, there's a line.
15:04I'm not waiting in that stupid line.
15:08Typical name.
15:09I'm not on the list.
15:10All right, show me your profile.
15:12What?
15:13Your followers, mummy.
15:14I don't have an Instagram.
15:17Sadie Skye.
15:18She invited me.
15:19She needs me.
15:20Who?
15:21You're not getting in here, buddy.
15:23Unless, um, you want to slide me some cash.
15:28Let's call it a band.
15:29Just a band?
15:30Okay.
15:31Sure.
15:41Where is this?
15:53Sadie?
15:54No.
15:55No.
15:56No.
15:56No.
15:59No.
16:01No.
16:03No.
16:05Yes.
16:09Sadie!
16:11Whoa, what the hell, man?
16:13We are live.
16:13Get out.
16:14Yeah, not anymore.
16:15All right, bro, I can't deal with another headline, so no.
16:20You okay?
16:20You good?
16:22You know this guy?
16:23What are you doing, Nico?
16:25What are you doing? Acting all sexy to sell a song?
16:30Are you drunk? Did you get her drunk?
16:32Chill. Chill. She is an independent woman.
16:36And besides, she said she didn't have a boyfriend.
16:38I don't, Nico. I would never be my boyfriend.
16:41Come on, Sadie. We're going.
16:46What are you doing? I was networking. Where are you taking me?
16:50Networking? I'm taking you home, Sadie.
16:52No. No way, no.
16:55Those people don't care about you.
16:56And you do.
16:59Sadie.
16:59I didn't think so. Okay, just go home, Nico.
17:02I'm not leaving you alone here.
17:04I want to be here. You never give me what I actually want. Just let me have this.
17:08You want this? What about Berklee? Hmm? Going to music school? Your dream.
17:13It may not be my dream anymore.
17:16Your audition tape is due this weekend.
17:17I'll submit a song.
17:19That song? What happened to making music that actually meant something?
17:23Why do you care all of a sudden?
17:25Somebody else finally likes me and now you do too?
17:30Just go home, Nico. Go. Please. Go.
17:37You seriously want to stay here with that guy?
17:41That guy actually likes me. And he's going to help my career.
17:45Okay, so just go back to Seaview and sit in a skate park and smoke a joint by yourself and
17:50brood about nothing because it's freaking Seaview.
18:00No. Screw that. Get in the car. I'm not leaving you here.
18:04No.
18:04Sadie?
18:05No.
18:06Get in.
18:07No.
18:11No, Nico. Stop. Put me down. Put me down. Stop. Nico. Stop. Stop. I'll do it myself.
18:19Pun.
18:19Stop it. I'll do it myself.
18:22Pun.
18:50So, let's do it myself.
18:57You are so lucky I saw the live stream in Noodle Eye to your dad.
19:00I told him you were sleeping at mine.
19:02Here.
19:05Okay, now spill.
19:08It was great, honestly.
19:10I mean, Nico, he just gets me.
19:12You mean Havoc?
19:14Yeah, Havoc.
19:16Sorry.
19:17But how is Nico?
19:19He kind of went MIA last night after he dropped me off.
19:21I think I saw him with Bia.
19:24God, I can't believe we used to be best friends with her.
19:27Yeah, before she decided we weren't artsy and cool enough for her.
19:31Yeah, well, look who the real artist is now.
19:35Gosh, I can't believe that live got you over half a million followers last night.
19:39Am I really up to 500k?
19:42Mm-hmm.
19:43Oh, did that bell get louder?
19:58Your dad is going to kill you if you're getting in trouble for texting during an exam.
20:03Miss Skye?
20:11Seriously?
20:13Detention?
20:14It's not like you at all.
20:15You know me so well.
20:18You know my parents took away my car last night because of our little stunt?
20:21I didn't ask you to wait for me.
20:23Now get out of my way, Nico, unless you want me to be late for choir and get another detention.
20:26Come on, Brooklyn.
20:27Stop calling me that.
20:28Yeah?
20:29Make me.
20:32Are you going to see that guy again?
20:34You shouldn't go back to L.A.
20:36You need to stay at Seaview.
20:38Yeah?
20:40Make me.
20:44I don't know what I'm going to do with you, Sadie.
20:47Ground me.
20:47Take away my phone.
20:48Keep me in Seaview forever.
20:50I know the drill.
20:51What happened to you?
20:52It's like some switch flipped and you went from being determined and dedicated to...
20:56A teenage girl?
20:58I can want and be a lot of things at once.
21:03And what do you want, Sadie?
21:06Mom.
21:09I want Mom.
21:19I'm worried about you, sweetie.
21:21We need to have a serious talk about your future.
21:23Because you want to keep me here.
21:25Because I want to keep you safe.
21:27But yes, until then, you're grounded.
21:41Havoc?
21:42I'm grounded and I don't ever ride to L.A.
21:44And Ubers are like $400.
21:46Oh, no surge pricing.
21:47Sweet.
21:48I'll send one now.
21:49Just share your location.
21:50Be outside in five, okay?
22:02I cannot believe that I found you and that we're doing this together.
22:06You know, as a producer, I got such a sensitive ear.
22:10And hearing you just makes me excited to make music again.
22:15Or my little muse.
22:17I don't know.
22:18You don't think it sounds like a little generic?
22:21Like any teen girl trying to be sexy so she can pop off on TikTok?
22:25No.
22:26Because you're not trying to be sexy.
22:29You just are.
22:30Look, that stuff, it works.
22:32You know?
22:33It'll make you millions.
22:34It'll get you record deals.
22:36And speaking of, I heard back from a label.
22:39You did?
22:40Siren Sound Records wants to meet you.
22:43They do?
22:44Of course they do.
22:45I mean, how many followers did you get after posting our song?
22:47I don't know.
22:48Let's look.
22:52Oh, my God.
22:53You'll be at a milli soon enough.
22:55Not if we don't get our butts back in the studio.
22:57Okay, well, we were in there for hours.
23:01It's okay.
23:01The song is great.
23:02You got to live to have life that's worth writing about.
23:05You know?
23:05It can't all just be work, work, work.
23:08You know, my best friend always says the same thing.
23:11Really?
23:12Your music should be a reflection of your life and of your soul.
23:19And it should be like ripping yourself open and saying,
23:23Here I am.
23:25Here I am.
23:27Come on.
23:27Come on.
23:28Your turn.
23:29No.
23:29Come on.
23:29I don't want to hear you.
23:30Good.
23:30People want to hear you.
23:31Come on.
23:32Come on.
23:32Do it.
23:33Do it.
23:35Here I am.
23:36Nope.
23:37Sadie, you got to scream it.
23:39You got to scream it.
23:42Here I am.
23:45Sadie, Skye is here, baby.
23:47Sadie, Skye is here.
23:55You got a little...
24:02Was sneaking out worth it?
24:03Yeah.
24:05My dad is, like, so strict, he's literally going to kill me when he finds out.
24:11You know, I've...
24:13I've been an influencer or whatever since I was 13.
24:18And, well, I've also been supporting my entire family since then, too.
24:22And they made me drop out of school to focus on posting and...
24:26Oh, my God.
24:27Havoc, I'm so sorry.
24:29Hey, at least your dad wants you to be safe and cares.
24:33Right?
24:34Besides, he'll be proud when he sees that you're going to be a star.
24:40Look, I...
24:41I see you, Sadie Skye.
24:44Stick with me.
24:46And everyone else will, too.
24:52God, is there another party here tonight?
24:55There's always another party.
24:58I think I'm still reeling from my first hangover.
25:02Well, then let me take you somewhere quiet, then.
25:05Okay.
25:07Okay?
25:07Let's go.
25:10Oh, man, I hate those parties.
25:14But I love talking with you, Sadie.
25:17I could do that all night.
25:19Me, too.
25:20Really?
25:21Mm-hmm.
25:23Oh.
25:28Yo, what's up with you and that guy, anyway?
25:31Nico?
25:32Yeah.
25:33I don't know.
25:33He's always brooding about something.
25:38Even though everything comes, like, so easy to him.
25:40And he teaches me guitar, but then he pretends I don't exist in front of girls at school.
25:46Well, he's an idiot.
25:48To pretend like you don't exist?
25:51That's crazy.
25:54Well, when you're a superstar, you won't be able to.
25:59Forget about it.
26:01You're right.
26:02Mm-hmm.
26:03He's forgotten.
26:04Boom.
26:09My turn, I guess.
26:21Who is it?
26:27It's just the label saying how excited they are to meet you.
26:30Can I see?
26:31You know what?
26:32I think we have something more important to do first.
26:34Hmm.
26:36Sadie?
26:37I would never pretend like you don't exist.
26:49Is that guy interrupting us again?
26:51Oh, no, no.
26:52My dad found out that I stuck out even though I'm already grounded.
26:55I'm dead.
26:56I'm so dead.
26:59When you're a superstar, making bank, you won't worry about it.
27:10Oh, this is cute.
27:12Well, that Kelsk girl hit a million subs, so.
27:18I thought you said you wanted to stay up here and talk to me all night.
27:22Oh, I totally do.
27:23I, I, it's just all my friends are down there, and I, I don't want to be rude.
27:28You should probably head back to Oceantown.
27:31See if you?
27:32Exactly.
27:32Yes.
27:33Um.
27:35I'm gonna go, but I will text you whenever you need to come back to L.A. for the record
27:40label meeting or whatever.
27:42But take your time in here, no rush.
28:31I'm gonna go, but I'll check it out.
28:33Sadie?
28:35What happened?
28:37Are you okay?
28:40What?
28:47Yeah, here you go.
28:48Thanks for getting your back safe.
28:50Thank you, buddy.
28:50Yeah, really appreciate it.
28:54Now that we're here, can you please talk to me?
28:57Yeah, but thank you for paying the cab driver.
29:00I'll pay you back if I put on it.
29:01Sadie, I don't care about that.
29:03What the hell happened to you?
29:05Are you okay?
29:07No, I thought...
29:09I thought he liked me.
29:10He opened up to me and he told me things about himself
29:14and he said he thinks I'm sexy.
29:17Oh, God, I'm such an idiot.
29:18No, you're not.
29:20That guy's just a poser.
29:22He's a liar.
29:23Of course he is.
29:24I know that I'm not, like, sexy or what.
29:27No, no, not about that.
29:29And I have to meet with his record label in havoc,
29:31but I have less than 24 hours to submit my Berklee audition
29:34and I don't even know what song to record
29:35or if I even want to go to school at all anymore.
29:38You've always dreamt about Berklee.
29:40Yeah, and maybe I want Berklee,
29:41but maybe I want this new dream, too.
29:44I just want everything and I want it now
29:48because what if I don't go for it?
29:50What if I don't grab it?
29:51And then it's just gone.
29:53I can't keep missing things.
29:55It's right there, Nico.
29:57It's right there.
29:57Like, I can feel it on the tips of my fingers
29:59and I can't just let this opportunity pass me by
30:03and then sit around missing something else that could have been.
30:06You're not running out of time, Sadie.
30:08You're not missing out on anything.
30:10That's my mom.
30:13I know.
30:16I know you.
30:17You do know me.
30:18And so how is it possible that I know next to nothing about you?
30:22I don't know where you want to go to college.
30:24I don't know if you're dating Bia or how you feel about me.
30:27I don't even know where you went when we were in L.A.
30:29You really want to know?
30:33Fine.
30:34I'll tell you.
30:36I was visiting my brother.
30:38Why couldn't you just say that then?
30:41In rehab, Sadie.
30:43After his little stint in jail.
30:46Jail?
30:48He overdosed this summer.
30:51He almost died.
30:53Right around when I got so...
30:56How'd you put it?
30:57Rooting?
31:02I live right next door to your family.
31:05Why didn't I know?
31:06My parents didn't want anyone to find out.
31:09They said it would be shameful for the family.
31:14I can't even talk to him anymore.
31:18Diego was the best, though.
31:20He taught me how to skate.
31:22He taught me how to play guitar.
31:25That's why I stopped playing the violin.
31:30Every time I play the guitar,
31:32I just feel more connected to him.
31:36He was always getting into trouble.
31:40And then he got into the party scene,
31:42and he just couldn't kick the drugs.
31:47I don't even know who he is anymore.
31:51I just...
31:54I just want my brother back.
31:57And that's why I was so worried about you at that party.
32:00I don't want anything like that to happen to you.
32:02You had to keep your grief a secret this whole time.
32:07If I couldn't talk about my mom, I would explode.
32:09I'm so sorry, Nico.
32:11I obviously care, Sadie.
32:12I care so much.
32:14Sometimes too much.
32:17And no,
32:19Bia and I aren't dating.
32:22Just...
32:23Just promise me you won't go see Havoc.
32:26He's not a good guy.
32:28I know.
32:30Did you ever think that's maybe what I deserve?
32:34Don't say that.
32:34What about you?
32:36Are you a good guy?
32:40Didn't think so.
32:43You know, maybe we deserve each other.
32:45No, we don't.
32:47Because you deserve someone so much better than me.
32:49Better than you?
32:50No, Nico, I've liked you since we were kids.
32:52And don't say you couldn't tell.
32:55Okay, fine.
32:56I could.
32:58Okay?
32:58But only when you were singing.
33:01That's when I feel like I can truly see who you are.
33:05Now, I don't want to drag you into my crap.
33:07What did you say in that song?
33:09That you feel like I'm leaving you in the dark.
33:12I'm not with you in it.
33:16You're so close to finding yourself, Sadie.
33:18Like, you're on the edge, and I just don't want to slow you down.
33:22Wait.
33:23Wait.
33:24That's it.
33:26That's it.
33:27That's it.
33:27That's it, Nico.
33:27You're brilliant.
33:28You're brilliant.
33:29That's it.
33:31Okay.
33:35Right when it hurts, I feel it again.
33:41I'm losing myself, but I find her again.
33:47I'm on the edge.
33:51I'm on the edge.
33:57That's it.
33:58That's you.
34:00That's what I've been saying this whole time.
34:02That whole thing of, this has to come from the heart.
34:05That's what it feels like.
34:06The world's going to see how bright you shine, and then everyone's going to fall in love with you too.
34:11And then after that, you're just going to get more.
34:14So, did you, um, what did you say?
34:19Um, Nico, I, um, I've been meaning to tell you that I feel the same way, and I don't know.
34:28I just, like.
34:41Sorry.
34:42Sorry.
34:42Sorry.
34:43No, no, it's, it's good.
34:45It's okay.
34:46You've had a, you've had a long night.
34:50It's good.
34:51I should go.
34:53Wait, um, will you stay with me?
34:58Just for tonight.
34:59I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:01I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:03I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:07I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:10I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:18I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:19I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:20I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:21I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:21I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:22I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:24I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:24I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:27I just don't want to be, like, alone.
35:40Hello, Havoc, a showcase, noon, today, I only have a few hours, but the label's going
35:51to be there, yeah, no, it's, I'll make it work, yeah, yeah, I'm excited to see you
35:57too, bye, what about your Berkeley audition, I can do both, um, my audition's not due till
36:10this evening, so I'll just submit it before then, do you want to come to LA with me, I
36:15know that your dad took your car, but we could find a ride, or, to LA, it's just, it's just
36:22hard being out there right now, of course, I'm so sorry, forget I asked, what the hell
36:29is going on here, dad, it's not what it looks like, oh good, because it looks like my teenage
36:33daughter is having sex with our pothead neighbor after sneaking out, out, you didn't have to
36:40do that, and we didn't have sex, are you kidding me, what the hell is wrong with you, Sadie,
36:46this is my house, and you better get very familiar with it, because you're not leaving home until
36:51after graduation, Sadie, Sadie, I am talking to you, you couldn't keep mom here, so what
37:03makes you think you're going to keep me, don't, you know, I tried everything to help mom, you
37:06weren't here, you weren't here, and I was just a little girl, and I needed you, and you weren't
37:14here, you know, mom was the only person in the entire world who actually saw me,
37:23and now that's not true anymore, because Nico does, but you just drove him away, just because
37:30you're alone doesn't mean that I have to be, and for somebody who's so passionate about his
37:35career, I'm shocked that you don't understand my passion for mine, I am a musician, dad, like
37:43most people need water, I need to sing, and I don't care if you don't believe in me, because
37:48I believe in myself, Sadie, there's no doubt in my mind you will make it as a singer, it's just,
38:00it is a harsh world out there, I know that, you can't keep me here forever, I already lost mom,
38:09I just don't want to lose you too, if you make me give up on my dreams, and I'm already
38:13gone,
38:16Sadie, Sadie!
38:23Sadie!
38:39Heard you need a ride to LA?
38:42Anya, how did you know?
38:48Hey, um, I feel like you might need this.
38:58All right, let's go.
39:01Are you sure you're going to be okay?
39:03Okay, I'm sorry.
39:04I should probably get back before my step monster notices I took the car from her.
39:08But you're going to be amazing.
39:14Let's do this.
39:18Yeah, baby.
39:19Listen, I don't care.
39:20I asked for Lemon LaCroix.
39:23Lemon.
39:25Look, I'm sorry to ask you this, but Anya left, and I'm just really nervous.
39:29You look amazing.
39:30Thanks.
39:31There she is.
39:32My superstar.
39:34How are you feeling?
39:35A little bit nervous, but ready to perform.
39:38You'll do great.
39:41What the hell is he doing here?
39:42He's here to support me.
39:44And to film my performance, I have to submit an original song to Berklee by the deadline tonight.
39:50Screw college.
39:51You're going to be a star, baby.
39:53You're going to be living the dream.
39:55Her dream is Berklee.
39:57It's what she's always wanted.
39:59Yeah, well, maybe she wants something new.
40:01Okay.
40:02It's enough.
40:03I'm going to go warm up, get my mouth ready to sing.
40:09Last night, I learned how good she is with that mouth.
40:25Stop it.
40:26Stop it.
40:26What are you doing?
40:27Stop.
40:32Sadie.
40:32No, just don't.
40:34Yeah, dude.
40:34Get the hell out of here.
40:36Get out.
40:37This is my event.
40:38Your band.
40:39Get out.
40:42Screw that guy, man.
40:45When he sees how viral your performance of Eyes on Me goes, he's going to regret the hell
40:49out of that.
40:50I can't record it, by the way.
40:51I'm going to be busy live streaming.
40:53But I'm sure a fan will post it or something.
40:57Hey, Javi.
40:58The cater's pulling up.
41:00About the performance, I don't want to perform Eyes Without Changes.
41:06My original song, I've been working on it and it just feels really fresh and authentic.
41:10What?
41:11No, no, no, no, no.
41:12You're doing the sexy song.
41:14I know what works, Sadie.
41:16Don't you trust me?
41:17You know what?
41:20No.
41:21Actually, I don't.
41:23At all.
41:27Sadie.
41:29Sadie.
41:33Excuse me.
41:34Do you know where Harold is?
41:37Harold?
41:37Oh, she probably knows him by Kid Havoc.
41:40It is so hard to call my son by that stupid nickname, but whatever pays the bills.
41:45Have you seen him?
41:46Yeah, I think he's in the green room.
41:48And catering just got theirs.
41:50Oh, God.
41:51He sure does think he's fancy, doesn't he?
41:53Come on.
41:54Good luck, sweetie.
41:55Thanks.
41:57Yeah, I'm going to need it.
41:59Nico!
42:00He waited for me.
42:02Of course.
42:04I'm not going anywhere.
42:06But, um, can I ask, did you and that guy hook up?
42:12What?
42:13No.
42:14What?
42:14He had just said something, and, um...
42:18Is that why you hit him?
42:19You were defending me?
42:21And you were just so upset last night.
42:23No, Nico, I'm done with Havoc.
42:25I'm not going to sell out on my real self before I've even given her a shot.
42:30You don't need to.
42:32But Berkeley is so soon.
42:34What am I going to do?
42:36I've got an idea.
42:38But first, let's get the hell out of here.
42:41Where are we going?
42:42Just wait.
42:43You'll see.
42:54Where did you take me?
42:56It's an open mic.
43:00Um, one second.
43:02Hey, um, is it cool if we just borrow this just for one song?
43:06Yeah.
43:06Yeah.
43:09You ready?
43:10Will you go with me?
43:11You don't need me.
43:12You know, but I want you.
43:14You got this.
43:28Hi.
43:30Um, I'm Sadie.
43:32Sadie Sky.
43:36I'm a senior in high school, and I always thought I'd find myself when I got to college,
43:41but I found myself before I even got there, so, yeah.
43:59Can I ask a question, baby?
44:02Do you know the color of my eyes?
44:05Cause I know yours better than I know the color of the sky?
44:10And when you're close to me, I swear that you can read my mind.
44:16God, I wish you could.
44:18The light when it fades.
44:21I feel it again.
44:24It's on the tip of my tongue and in the back of your hand.
44:30The look in your eyes, I knew what it meant.
44:34I don't know where we are, but it feels like the end
44:40It feels like the end
44:46It feels like the end
44:52Look at yours, I knew what it meant
44:56I don't know where we are, but it feels like the end
45:12That was perfect
45:14You're perfect
45:22Oh my god, I'm sorry
45:25No, Sadie
45:28Wait
45:29I'm sorry
45:30Okay, I shouldn't have kissed you in front of all of those people
45:33I know I'm not your girlfriend and we're going to college next year
45:35And we're probably going to be really far apart
45:37And you might not even want to be close together
45:39And I'm just so embarrassed
45:40Sadie, no
45:41Okay, I
45:43I just
45:43I feel like I'm going to let you down
45:45And you saying it yourself
45:48You don't know what you want
45:49Nico, you've helped me figure out who I am and what I want
45:53But who I want, that's never changed
45:56It's always been you
45:58We'll work on ourselves together
45:59Just like we work on those songs together
46:04Shoot
46:05That was my Berklee audition deadline
46:07It's over
46:09Not quite
46:14You submitted my Berklee audition
46:16Why do you think I was so shocked when you kissed me?
46:19I don't think the Berklee admissions office wanted to see that
46:42What up, singer girl?
