00:05Winner and still undisputed Muay World Champion, Mira Santos, the Eastern Storm!
00:12This is her sixth world title.
00:15She has now collected every major world title in Muay Thai, achieving an unprecedented Grand Slum.
00:2123 years of sweat and blood have turned into a fire in her chest.
00:27Mira, look here! How are you feeling right now?
00:30I want to thank my coach Jake for 12 years of unwavering training.
00:34What about your family? Do you have anything to say to say to them?
00:38About my family?
00:43When Mira opened her eyes again, the spotlights, applause, cheers, reporters, all were gone.
00:48She wasn't standing on the glorious ring.
00:50She forced through the pain all over her body and sat up on the floor.
00:53She looked down for a second and in that instant, her blood ran cold.
00:57This wasn't her body.
00:59Mira's eyes snap wide, still reeling from the shock, broken memories flooding her head non-stop.
01:03Turns out this body belongs to Emily Mercer, a senior at Westbrook High in Queens, NY.
01:08Emily's life was a total nightmare.
01:09Her dad Rick was a violent vet, drunk and always looking for a fight.
01:12Her mother Linda was a gentle, timid cashier, with no status in the family.
01:16Emily hoped to change her life by studying.
01:18And she hid her Columbia Full Scholarship letter under the mattress.
01:23Dad, I got a full scholarship to Columbia University.
01:26I want to go to college.
01:27What's the use of girls studying so hard?
01:29You should go work to make money early and marry a rich man to live easily.
01:32Please, Dad, it's a full scholarship.
01:36Wasting money on useless books.
01:37After graduation, you must work and earn money for me.
01:40Please stop hurting her.
01:42She just wants to go to school.
01:44Have mercy on her.
01:45Get off me.
01:46Stand in my way and I will beat you too.
01:48No one dares disobey me in this house.
01:51Emily didn't make it through that painful, brutal night.
01:53In her place awakens Mira, the legendary undefeated Muay Thai queen.
01:57It took her a moment to accept the truth.
01:59She decided to fight for Emily's justice and live better life for her.
02:02She moved her in legs skillfully.
02:03With 23 years of pro experience, she knew instantly it was a severely displaced tibia fracture.
02:11She used old magazines and torn bedsheets to fix her injured leg steadily.
02:21Emily, baby, are you awake?
02:25Try to eat something.
02:27Your leg.
02:28Oh my God, what happened to your leg?
02:30Mom, I'm fine.
02:32My leg will get better.
02:33Just give me three months.
02:34My leg will fully heal.
02:37Mom, why don't you divorce Rick and leave him for good?
02:41All my wages are held by Rick.
02:43Rick's a bastard, but he gets veteran disability benefits.
02:46If I mention divorce, he'll throw us both out on the street.
02:49I can't watch you end up homeless.
02:53Two weeks later, Mira came to school.
02:57Yo, the cripples here.
02:59Her name is Tori Blake, Westbrook High's Queen Bee.
03:02Everyone at school is afraid of her.
03:03Keisha, the star center of the school basketball team.
03:05The other is Rosa, whose sharp tongue can make anyone cry.
03:09In Emily's memory, Tori was the source of her nightmares.
03:12I heard your dad hit you again.
03:13So pathetic.
03:15Even your dad hates you.
03:17What's the point of living?
03:20You still come to school even with a crutch?
03:22How dedicated.
03:24This indifference annoyed Tori more than any retort.
03:27I'm talking to you.
03:34Tori's talking to you.
03:35Are you deaf?
03:42Pick it up.
03:45What did you say?
03:46Make me pick it up?
03:48Pick it up.
03:52That gap is one of the most vulnerable nerve points in the human body.
04:01But this body is too weak.
04:08In Muay Thai, this is called clinch, a close-range grab.
04:11But Mira forgot one thing.
04:13The height difference in clinch greatly reduced her control.
04:39Alexander Thornton, the only son of the old, powerful Thornton family, a student who can be pernily greeted by the
04:46principal.
04:49I said enough.
04:55Are you okay?
04:57I'm fine, thanks.
05:04The daytime conflict was short, but it took a huge toll on Mira's weak body.
05:08She has 23 years of Muay Thai experience, trapped in a shell of a traitrophic muscles and fragile bones.
05:14She must train, but danger won't wait for her to be ready.
05:18Emily.
05:20At school, someone has your back, but outside of school, there's no little prince from the Thornton family to save
05:26you.
05:28If it were her original body, five people would be nothing.
05:31She's faced situations ten times more dangerous.
05:33But now, what do you want?
05:35I want you to remember that in this school, on this street, in this world, I make the rules.
05:41You embarrassed me today at school, Emily.
05:42Emily, the thing I hate most is-
05:59You're pretty tough.
06:00Get her!
06:15Still dare to fight back?
06:20I only wanted to teach you a lesson at first, but you made me change my mind.
06:25Tell me, should I cut here or here?
06:29Use your tiny brain before you do something stupid.
06:31Assault with a deadly weapon is a serious felony.
06:33Don't scare me with the law, Emily.
06:35There's no cameras here.
06:36Who's gonna know I did this?
06:37Thornton saw everything that happened today.
06:39Do you really think he won't tell anyone?
06:40I've backed up every threatening message and humiliating video you sent me.
06:43Just try me.
06:47You're lucky today, but don't think this is over.
06:50Every single day you spend in this school will get harder and harder.
07:02Three months.
07:04Give me three months.
07:05Emily!
07:06Your face!
07:07I fell.
07:10Columbia University Full Ride Scholarship.
07:12Only 50 spots a year.
07:14Emily was one of them.
07:15She could have changed her fate with her talent, but she's stuck here.
07:19Mira starts her training plan.
07:20Right leg fracture's been healing for over two weeks.
07:23The bone's mending, but it's far from ready.
07:25She can't do any kicks with her right leg, but she can start basic upper body and core
07:29training.
07:29In one night, she only managed 15 push-ups.
07:32In her old body, she could do 200 without breaking a sweat.
07:35Next comes plank hold.
07:37She can only last 37 seconds before collapsing.
07:40Then sit-ups.
07:41Her abdominal muscles start cramping after 20 raps.
07:46It's not enough.
07:48Far from enough.
07:49From then on, Mira gets up to train at dawn every day.
07:52In the first week, she finished 15 more push-ups and held plank for one extra minute.
07:57In the second week, she began practicing single kicks with her left leg, and she struggled a
08:02lot at the very beginning.
08:03Fourth week, she adds sandbag training.
08:05Emily seems to have received dance training when she was a child.
08:09Her joints are extremely flexible, which allows Mira to perform many technical moves freely.
08:14After finishing her training and taking a shower, Mira goes out to school.
08:18Linda notices great changes in her daughter.
08:20Emily eats more, gets leaner yet stronger, and her eyes look totally different.
08:24She can't tell whether these changes are good or bad, but she chooses not to ask.
08:28Staying quiet is the only way to survive under Rick's roof.
08:31Rick also spots another obvious change.
08:34Why don't you cry anymore?
08:35Back then, Emily would tremble whenever Rick got close to her.
08:38I'm not refusing to cry.
08:40I just don't see anything worth crying over.
08:42He was used to her fear.
08:44It was the only way he could feel he still had control.
08:46Her calm made him deeply uncomfortable.
08:49You think you can defy me now?
08:50She is confident she can overpower Rick.
08:53Yet her injured right leg hasn't fully healed.
08:55She needs more time to avoid his extreme actions.
08:58And fears Linda will get caught up in his rage.
09:02I'm sorry, Dad.
09:07Behave yourself.
09:12Just hold on for one more month.
09:14Her right leg will fully bear weight then.
09:17Everything will be different.
09:22There was a line in your essay,
09:24Fear is a weapon that only works when you let it aim at you.
09:26I liked it.
09:28Alexander Thornton was a mystery.
09:30He kept to himself.
09:32Polite, but always distant.
09:33But today, Alexander had come to talk to her on his own.
09:36She had no energy for this.
09:38She needed to get stronger.
09:39And then even stronger.
09:40Mira trained relentlessly every night.
09:42Her right leg could now walk and dodge normally.
09:45Her upper body strength had improved dramatically.
09:47Her core was stronger than ever.
09:49Her grip strength had nearly doubled.
09:51Early morning training had transformed her body.
09:53She was getting stronger every day.
09:55Tori made Mira's life a living hell.
09:59She dumped a bucket of water on her head.
10:03She spit in her lunch.
10:06She pushed her in the hallways.
10:08Tori spread vicious rumors about Mira online.
10:10She said she had a disease.
10:12That her father was a criminal.
10:13That she slept around.
10:15Every insult only made her stronger.
10:17After school that day,
10:19Mira was walking home as usual.
10:21Thought not far ahead,
10:22a figure leaned against the lamppost.
10:24He was wearing a dark blue windbreaker
10:26and holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
10:28He smiled slightly when he saw Mira walking towards him.
10:31Fancy seeing you here.
10:32Do you live around here?
10:33No.
10:34I was waiting for you.
10:35I need a favor.
10:36There's a community service event Saturday at Fleming Meadows.
10:39We need volunteers.
10:40Why me?
10:41Because you actually get things done.
10:42And I want to get to know you better.
10:45Okay.
10:45Just as Mira was about to leave,
10:48noisy footsteps echoed behind her.
10:50Tori and her gang had come.
10:51Five people.
10:52Thornton, this isn't your business.
10:54Get out of here.
10:55I'm not going anywhere.
10:57You sure?
10:58You know what happens when you cross me?
11:01Offend you?
11:02Tori, your little school tricks mean nothing to me.
11:05Fine.
11:06Get him too.
11:09You know how to fight?
11:11Six years of boxing.
11:12You take Keisha, Peter.
11:14I'll handle Tori and the rest.
11:16Peter charged first.
11:23Keisha and Joe charged together.
11:25I got this.
11:29All of you, attack her!
11:31Tori screamed and ordered her gang to charge.
11:33They surrounded her, targeting her injured right leg.
11:37Tori struck first at her weak spot.
11:39She was trapped from both front and back.
11:41Tori's boot came down hard on her injured leg.
11:44A sharp scream escapes Mira as the boot crushes her injured leg.
11:48The pain makes her vision blur and her body shake controllably.
11:51You think you're so tough, huh?
11:53Thornton protects you at school, but who's going to help you now?
11:55Let her go!
11:57Ethan Hayes had been walking home when he saw the attack.
12:01Hey!
12:02Who are you?
12:03Mind your own business.
12:04You're fucking dead!
12:05Ethan dodged and struck back instantly.
12:08Ethan used the opening to pull Mira up.
12:11I don't care who you are.
12:13If anyone touches her again, I'll break you.
12:15Another dead man walking?
12:16Ethan pushed Mira behind him and met them head on.
12:19Peter landed a punch, but Ethan didn't flinch.
12:22He spun around and took Joe down with one punch.
12:24Mira was deeply touched by his firm figure.
12:27Don't be afraid.
12:28I will protect you.
12:30She recalled their sweet childhood memories.
12:33Just like old times, he shielded her from all harm.
12:37Alexander had finished off all the other people.
12:41Are you okay?
12:42Did they hurt you anywhere?
12:44I'm fine.
12:45Sorry, I'm late.
12:46I should have been here sooner.
12:47Ethan blushed deeply and apologized, looking down shyly.
12:51You'll regret this!
12:53What are you doing here?
12:54I go to Lincoln High.
12:56I walk this way home every day.
12:58I've been looking for you for so long.
13:00Why were they attacking you?
13:02She's been bullied by Tori and her friends for a long time.
13:06What?
13:07They've been hurting you this whole time.
13:09I had no idea...
13:09His voice cracked as he clenched his fists, overwhelmed by regret.
13:13Sorry, Emily.
13:14It's all my fault.
13:15If I'd found you sooner, you never would have gone through this.
13:17It's not your fault.
13:19None of this is.
13:22Never again.
13:23I'll walk you home every day.
13:25Anyone who hurts you answers to me.
13:27Volunteers gathered at Flunching Meadows Park to help families in need.
13:31Mira and Alexander worked together, sorting through donated clothes.
13:34Ethan had texted her a dozen times, reminding her to stay safe.
13:37Why don't you fight back?
13:39Hmm?
13:40I mean, you can fight.
13:40You took down two men alone.
13:42But you let them bully you at school.
13:43Why?
13:45Some things are more important than fighting back, surviving.
13:48Your father.
13:50How do you know?
13:50He named the secret she had been hiding all doms.
13:52You have bruises all the time, not from fights.
13:54Those are concentrated, symmetrical.
13:56Yours are scattered.
13:57Some on your back, some on the inside of your arms.
14:00Places you could never reach yourself.
14:02And the way you walk, sometimes you flinch without thinking.
14:06That's what long-term abuse does to a person.
14:07No one had ever noticed these things before, but Alexander had.
14:11Yes.
14:12It was my father.
14:13I can help you.
14:15How?
14:16Call the police?
14:17It won't work.
14:17If I call, he might...
14:19You know what I mean.
14:21The unspoken threat hung in the air.
14:23Mom tried calling the police once.
14:25Dad was released after 24 hours.
14:27That night, he beat her so badly she spent three days in the hospital.
14:31The memory of that night still haunted her.
14:34Alexander fell silent, the weight of her words sinking in.
14:38My mother is a lawyer, dean of Columbia Law.
14:40She handles a lot of domestic violence cases.
14:42I can ask her...
14:43No.
14:44Just give me some time.
14:45I have a plan.
14:46He looked into her eyes, searching for certainty.
14:48Okay.
14:49But if you need anything, call me anytime.
14:52He stopped at the corner, not wanting Rick to see them.
14:59Emily.
15:01You smiled today.
15:02For the first time.
15:03Mira froze for a split second.
15:05Then she realized.
15:08She had smiled.
15:09It's because your story was actually funny.
15:11Then I'll tell you more.
15:12She closed the door and walked toward her house.
15:13She paused for a moment at the doorstep.
15:15His headlight stayed on, waiting until she was safely inside.
15:17Mira pushed open the front door.
15:19Where have you been?
15:20Community service.
15:21School required.
15:22She kept her voice steady.
15:23He grunt and turned back to the screen.
15:26She slipped into her room, finally able to breathe again.
15:29She texted Ethan to tell him she was safe.
15:31He replied instantly, promising her a surprise.
15:33A small smile finally crossed her face.
15:35Her tibia fracture had healed completely.
15:37She'd gained 12 pounds of pure muscle.
15:39Ethan picked Mira up for school every single day.
15:41A quiet, unspoken tension hung between them.
15:44And he was there waiting when school ended, never leaving her side.
15:47Tori tried to pick a fight several times.
15:49But Ethan always stepped in.
15:51His cold stare was enough to send her away every time.
15:54The relationship between Alexander and Mira is quietly changing.
15:58He told her about his story.
15:59And Mira slowly opened up too, sharing her own fears and struggles.
16:04They walked side by side through the quiet campus one afternoon.
16:07You'll leave here.
16:08You'll go to college.
16:09Get away from your father.
16:10That scholar sure as can take it from you.
16:11You'll go to college too.
16:12Of course, Columbia.
16:13My mom's the dean there.
16:14I got an offer from Columbia too.
16:15His eyes lit up instantly, bright with a joy he couldn't hide.
16:19Then we can still be classmates.
16:22And Mira couldn't help but smile.
16:24The library at Westbrook High was the quietest place in the entire school.
16:28Her right leg recovery had entered a critical phase.
16:31She needed to understand bone and muscle structure to plan better training.
16:34What are you reading?
16:35The physiological mechanism of bone healing.
16:37How did you hurt your leg?
16:38I fell.
16:39How's your Russian?
16:41It's okay.
16:43I'm reading Tolstoy in the original, but some old Russian expressions confuse me.
16:48Your AP English essay was great.
16:50Mr. Peterson bragged about it last week.
16:54You've changed.
16:56Before, you wouldn't have gotten your hair yanked, slapped across the face, and then just
16:58walked back to your seat like nothing happened.
17:00People grow up.
17:01It's not that.
17:02It's different.
17:04You're like a whole different person.
17:06I'm just done taking it.
17:08She meant every word of it.
17:11If Tori gives you trouble again, you can find me.
17:14I don't need anyone to protect me.
17:17I know, but having one more person in your corner never hurts, right?
17:20Meanwhile, Ethan is also approaching Mira in his own way.
17:24He massaged her sore calves after her long training sessions.
17:27He was always there with an umbrella before the rain even started.
17:30And when her phone died, he searched for her until late into the night.
17:33He never asked for anything.
17:35He just cared.
17:36Ethan walked Mira home as the sun was setting.
17:39Emily, I have something to tell you.
17:41I've liked you since we were kids.
17:43Not as a friend.
17:44I've liked you for so long.
17:45Mira froze, completely taken by surprise.
17:48You don't have to say anything.
17:49I just wanted you to know.
17:50We can still be friends.
17:51He turned and ran away as soon as he finished speaking, but he stopped after a few steps and
17:55ran back.
17:55He pressed a crumpled dandelion he'd picked into her hand.
17:58Then he ran away again and disappeared into the dark.
18:00One night, Mira went to the kitchen to get a drink.
18:03But Rick blocked her way.
18:04His eyes bloodshot from drinking.
18:06You've changed.
18:07You think I don't know about your little boyfriends?
18:10He grabbed her wrist roughly, his grip like iron.
18:12You're my daughter.
18:13I decide everything about you.
18:14Understand?
18:15Mira didn't flinch as her father held her wrist.
18:18I know.
18:19He stared at her for a long moment before letting go.
18:22Get back to your room.
18:25At her door, she heard her mother crying in the dark.
18:28And her hand tightened into a fist.
18:30Tori's revenge came faster and harsher than Mira expected.
18:33She walked into school on Monday and felt the air change.
18:35Everyone was staring, but not with mockery.
18:37With pity and fear.
18:38Mira pulled open her locker door.
18:40It was covered in photos and a single cruel sentence.
18:43All the air left her lungs in an instant.
18:45Mira realized Tori knew everything about her family.
18:47She stuffed the photos into her bag and slammed the door shut.
18:50She turned and walked down the crowded hallway.
18:51At the end of the hall, Tori was waiting, smiling triumphantly.
18:54And standing right next to her was Victor Blake.
18:55Emily, let me introduce you.
18:57This is my dad.
18:58He wants to talk to you.
18:59So you're the girl who's been bullying my daughter.
19:01Mr. Blake, I think your daughter has been telling you some things that aren't exactly true.
19:05If you want the whole truth, I have some interesting information.
19:07Like screenshots of the threat she's been sending people on Instagram.
19:10Is what she said true?
19:12Dad!
19:12She's lying!
19:13She's making it all up!
19:14We can find out if it's true easily enough.
19:17Let's go.
19:18Dad!
19:18I said let's go!
19:22Mira went to Alexander's house after school.
19:25Who is it?
19:25Emily Mercer.
19:26I'm here to see Alexander.
19:27She pressed the doorbell and gave her name.
19:29The door opened, and Alexander was standing in the hallway.
19:32Emily, is something wrong?
19:33You said I could come to you if I ever needed help.
19:36Come in.
19:39Emily, where are you?
19:40I'm outside your house.
19:41Are you okay?
19:42I'm fine.
19:42I'm at Alexander's.
19:44We need to talk about something.
19:45Okay, be careful.
19:47Call me if you need anything.
19:48I will.
19:49She hung up and began to tell him everything that had happened.
19:52I need to look into this.
19:53He stood up and walked to his study with Mira right behind him.
19:56He opened his laptop and started typing furiously.
19:59Ten minutes later, he found what he was looking for.
20:01Victor Blake, 47, three arrests.
20:03His casino is in Flinching, owned by a shell company.
20:06How did you find all this?
20:07My dad works in private equity.
20:09Due diligence is basic training.
20:10Tory Blake has seven disciplinary records, but nothing ever stuck.
20:15Hey, it's me.
20:16He made a few calls, speaking calmly,
20:18but with natural authority.
20:19I had someone look into the principal's relationship with Victor Blake.
20:22Those photos Terry put in your locker,
20:23they're of your mother being beaten.
20:25Do you know what that means?
20:26What does it mean?
20:27It means Tory has proof of your father's abuse.
20:29She's using it to humiliate you,
20:30but it also means we have proof.
20:31If you're willing to...
20:33I'm willing.
20:34You know what this means.
20:35Your father could go to jail.
20:37Your family...
20:37That stopped being a family a long time ago.
20:39My mother gets beaten every day.
20:41If these photos can end it,
20:43then let it end.
20:45Then we do this together.
20:46And she took it.
20:48They would face this together.
20:49The next week,
20:50an anonymous Instagram account began spreading vicious lies about Mira.
20:53They posted fake photos of her
20:54and twisted footage of her father abusing her,
20:56calling her sick names.
20:57When Ethan saw it,
20:58he was furious.
20:59He's holed multiple agatsons
21:00and fought anyone who was attacking her.
21:01This has nothing to do with you.
21:03Stop getting involved.
21:04They can't talk about you like that.
21:05You're the best girl.
21:06They don't know you.
21:07Don't pay attention to them.
21:09I don't care.
21:10Alexander finished his investigation
21:11and laid the report in front of her.
21:12The evidence was clear.
21:13The principal and Vic Rake had a secret deal.
21:15Read the ways his hearings
21:16of all of Tori's charity and the Greek.
21:18Me report tightly.
21:19Now they had the proof they needed.
21:20Alexander looked at her and said
21:21this was a complete chain of corruption.
21:22If we send this to the media,
21:23why not?
21:24The media takes too long.
21:25I need this to end faster.
21:26Can you get these documents to the Board of Education?
21:28Yes.
21:29My mother has extensive connections in education.
21:30I'm going to give Tori a lesson
21:32she'll never forget at school.
21:33She stood up,
21:34ready to take back control of her life.
21:35The day of the counterattack
21:36was chosen for the school's
21:38annual fall assembly.
21:50You ready?
21:52I'm ready.
21:55I'll be right behind you.
22:02Go on.
22:20What are you going to do?
22:22Hello, everyone.
22:24My name is Emily Mercer.
22:25I want to show all of you something.
22:33Are these photos real?
22:36Oh, my God.
22:37She was beaten in life like that.
22:38Did you have post work from Tori?
22:39The principal took money?
22:43It's all fake!
22:44She's lying!
22:50You think you can just walk away?
22:53You're going to regret this.
22:55Tori Blake.
22:57Over the past two years,
22:58she has subjected me to constant bullying.
23:01She put dead rats in my locker,
23:04spit in my lunch,
23:05spread rumors about me.
23:07But what's even more terrifying
23:09is that all of this was allowed.
23:11Principal Richard Harmon,
23:12after taking bribes from Tori's father,
23:14Victor Belk,
23:15covered up every one of Tori's evil deeds.
23:18Mr. Principal,
23:19do you have anything to say for yourself?
23:25The entire Gam-tadium erupted.
23:30Courage and defiance
23:32deserves to be celebrated.
23:39You!
23:40You're crazy!
23:41You think this is the end?
23:42You think...
23:42It's not over.
23:44But this time,
23:45you're the one who should be afraid.
24:02She wasn't alone anymore.
24:09You okay?
24:10I heard Tori was going to get you at the assembly,
24:12so I hurried over.
24:14I'm fine.
24:16It's all over.
24:20The impact of the school assembly
24:22was far bigger than Mira had anticipated.
24:33The most dangerous moment hasn't come yet.
24:37After school on Friday.
24:51You!
24:52You ruined my business.
24:55Mira knew exactly why he was this furious.
24:59Victor,
25:00you should know that starting a fight
25:02in front of the school is a terrible idea.
25:06I'm not going to do it
25:07in front of the school.
25:33I'm not going to do it in front of the school.
25:43Hey!
25:46Don't touch her.
25:52If you want to get to her,
25:54you have to go through me first.
25:56Where did this brat come from?
25:58Get lost or I'll beat you too.
26:03I'm not going anywhere.
26:05Victor Blake,
26:07I suggest you get in your car and leave now.
26:11Kit, who are you?
26:13Alexander Thornton.
26:18Grandson of a federal senator.
26:20Someone he could not afford to provoke.
26:23The FBI will raid your casino at 3 this afternoon.
26:26If you hurry back now,
26:27you might still have time to dispose of things you don't want found.
26:30You're bluffing!
26:31Or you can stay here.
26:33But every minute you stay,
26:35the chance they find something increases.
26:52You okay?
27:08I'm fine.
27:10Thank you both.
27:14That's good.
27:17My mother,
27:18Eleanor Thornton.
27:21Emily,
27:21Alexander has told me so much about you.
27:25And you,
27:26Ethan,
27:26you were very brave.
27:29Thank you, ma'am.
27:30About your father.
27:31When you're ready,
27:32we can talk.
27:34I'm ready.
27:41Then everything unfolded real quick.
27:45Eleanor's team applied for a protection order,
27:48submitted domestic violence evidence,
27:49and arranged a shelter,
27:51Linda within Witherfordia.
27:53Everything began here's.
28:03Rick Mercer,
28:05you are under arrest for domestic violence and assault.
28:07What?
28:07No!
28:08This is a mistake!
28:09I didn't do anything!
28:14I didn't do anything!
28:20He finally knew what fear felt like.
28:32Is it over?
28:35It's over.
28:47Mom,
28:48no one will ever hurt you again.
28:53Emily,
28:54you've grown up.
29:01The school announced that Tori had been expelled.
29:09Victor was in no better trouble.
29:15Keisha was placed on suspension for repeated involvement in school bullying.
29:23Rosa chose to transfer schools voluntarily.
29:30Mira could finally just do what she was good at,
29:33in peace.
29:34Muay Thai was now part of her.
29:41Ethan still picked Mira up from school every day.
29:44He found his goal.
29:52He wasn't hiding his feelings anymore.
29:58He never expected anything back.
30:02He was just there for her,
30:03quiet and constant,
30:05like a stubborn tree.
30:07Meanwhile,
30:08things between Emily and Alexander
30:09were quietly changing.
30:14When they had time to spare,
30:16they learned from one another.
30:34You're improving really fast.
30:35I studied boxing for six years before.
30:38My father thinks a Thornton man must be able to fight.
30:40Your father sounds pretty strict.
30:42He's an asshole,
30:43but he taught me one thing.
30:45Protect the people you care about.
30:50Um,
30:51that new sci-fi movie,
30:52this weekend,
30:53do you
30:55want to go see it?
30:59Ethan,
31:00I'm afraid I can't.
31:01I have plans.
31:02It's okay.
31:03Maybe another time.
31:04Darling,
31:05you're the only one
31:06that takes my breath away.
31:09All these waves
31:10pull me under
31:12and just like rain
31:13before the thunder
31:14love can get much deeper
31:16than it seems.
31:18Much deeper than it seems.
31:19Wandering between the affections
31:21of two boys,
31:22she had no idea what to pick.
31:30So she chose nothing,
31:31only herself
31:32and the peace
31:33of the library.
31:35Before I knew it,
31:36it was June.
31:40Westbrook High School's
31:41graduation ceremony
31:42was held in a community auditorium
31:44in Queens.
