Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Daddy, just admit it. You've wanted more than to be my father for a long time.
00:00:07She's 18. Stop getting these ideas in your fucking head.
00:00:11Be a father figure. Not, not this. You don't need to be anyone but yourself.
00:00:17I'm teaching you.
00:00:19You, exactly as you are, are enough. Why would you do this?
00:00:24I just wanted to do something for you. You've done so much for me.
00:00:29Love is what actual matters. I've got you.
00:00:32Because I matter to you.
00:00:33Police discovered the body of an adult male on Carver.
00:00:36Was it you?
00:00:36Lane, it was an accident.
00:00:38Nick, I hate you.
00:00:40Lane, I am so sorry.
00:01:05Lane, please. Don't hurt me.
00:01:07What?
00:01:25Hey, sweetie. How much for a good time?
00:01:36Let me go or I'll scream.
00:01:39Nobody is coming to help you here.
00:01:52Get lost while you still can.
00:02:09His back looks so solid.
00:02:11Makes me feel safe.
00:02:13I haven't felt safe since.
00:02:15Everything went to shit.
00:02:27Can I have a cigarette?
00:02:31Aren't you a little too young to smoke?
00:02:36Hey, I'm 18.
00:02:38Today's my 18th birthday, actually.
00:02:40Just off to a shitty start.
00:02:50Come on.
00:02:51Let's all wish Lane a happy birthday.
00:02:56My special gift.
00:02:58You can use it to finally pop your cherry.
00:03:0118 and still a version?
00:03:03What a freak.
00:03:07Seriously, Lane?
00:03:08You can't even afford a real cake?
00:03:10What a joke.
00:03:11Her dad's dead.
00:03:13Who's going to buy her a real one?
00:03:17How about we find you a daddy, huh?
00:03:25Found him.
00:03:26Here's your new daddy.
00:03:37She can't even smoke.
00:03:39Is she trying to impress me or something?
00:03:41You alright?
00:03:42Where's your father?
00:03:43I can call him.
00:03:44Have him pick you up.
00:03:45I, um...
00:03:50What?
00:04:01Can you take me home?
00:04:12What?
00:04:18I, I live alone.
00:04:19My friends took my keys.
00:04:22My phone's dead.
00:04:24I don't have any cash.
00:04:27I don't really know what to do.
00:04:40Please.
00:04:55Get in.
00:04:56Get in.
00:05:21I'm Nick, by the way.
00:05:23Lane.
00:05:24Lane?
00:05:27What's the hold-up?
00:05:28Don't tell me you changed your mind.
00:05:34Stay here.
00:05:48Put it on.
00:05:49You're soaked.
00:06:04Hot cocoa?
00:06:05Really?
00:06:07What?
00:06:08Nothing.
00:06:10Just...
00:06:11Doesn't seem like your vibe.
00:06:16Just drink the damn thing.
00:06:29Happy birthday, Lane.
00:06:32At the gas station, you were...
00:06:35It's late.
00:06:35They didn't have much.
00:06:38Remember to make a wish.
00:06:40So...
00:06:41Is this really for me?
00:06:43Well, it ain't my birthday.
00:06:47If only...
00:06:49If only he were my father.
00:06:56You made my wish.
00:06:59Good.
00:07:00Hope it comes true.
00:07:04There's a lot of strawberries.
00:07:05Hope you like them.
00:07:10Hmm.
00:07:13Wanna try?
00:07:26This just in, at 9pm, police discovered the body of an adult male on Carver Street.
00:07:31Once again, a newspaper was left at the scene.
00:07:33Some in the city have begun calling him the Judge, a shadowy figure alleged to punish the wealthy and powerful.
00:07:37For now, his face and his motives remain a mystery.
00:07:43I'm not hungry.
00:07:44You finish it.
00:07:47You're a lawyer?
00:07:49Yeah.
00:07:50Whoa.
00:07:51So you take care of all the bad guys, huh?
00:07:53I guess you could say that.
00:07:54How old are you, anyway?
00:07:57Old enough to be your dad.
00:07:58I'm 42.
00:07:59Then...
00:08:00Do you have any kids?
00:08:05Um...
00:08:05I love kids.
00:08:07I really want to have my own little girl.
00:08:10Like a mini-me.
00:08:11My daughter used to say the same thing.
00:08:13It's harder than you think, you know.
00:08:15Wait.
00:08:16You have a daughter?
00:08:17Yeah.
00:08:18Jane.
00:08:19She's not home.
00:08:20Anyway, you should dry off.
00:08:22I'll get you a robe.
00:08:23Wait here.
00:08:24Wait.
00:08:29Lane?
00:08:37Jane?
00:08:38It's Jane's.
00:08:39You can wear it for now.
00:08:41Give me your wet clothes.
00:08:42Okay.
00:08:47End of the hall.
00:08:48Guest room.
00:08:49I'll put her there.
00:09:09Bedtime.
00:09:10I'll show you to your room.
00:09:12It's right ahead.
00:09:12Oh my god.
00:09:14This room is so pretty.
00:09:24Wow.
00:09:25Oh yeah.
00:09:26This is Jane's room.
00:09:28You can sleep here if you want.
00:09:31Jane.
00:09:51Get some sleep, kid.
00:09:54Good night.
00:10:00So, this was his daughter's room?
00:10:05So that's how she sees her dad?
00:10:08They must have been close.
00:10:10Too close.
00:10:19His daughter would lie here at night,
00:10:21knowing her dad was in the hall,
00:10:24watching over her,
00:10:25protecting her.
00:10:27I wish I were Jane.
00:10:29Nick would be my dad.
00:10:31He'd hold my hand.
00:10:32Call me his good little girl.
00:10:46Don't worry, Pete.
00:10:48I'll come finish you soon enough.
00:10:58Nick.
00:11:09Nick...
00:11:10Nick...
00:11:22You
00:11:22Nick you are better than this

00:11:50Jane don't just stop go back to your room
00:12:08Just send her home Nick she's 18 stop getting these ideas in your fucking head
00:12:28He left the door open. That's on him. He probably didn't even notice. Yeah, he wasn't paying attention
00:12:44Did you sleep well?
00:12:47Yeah, I slept fine. Thanks
00:12:51You hungry? Come on, let's get some breakfast. Okay, I think he didn't notice
00:12:56Sure
00:13:03Jane's room is so pretty and all those toys. What a lucky girl. That's just stuff. Love is what actual
00:13:11matters
00:13:13Maybe you're right. I mean, I wouldn't know
00:13:17I never had any of that. No mom no dad
00:13:22Just me trying to figure it out on my own
00:13:27Poor girl
00:13:29Am I really going to take her back to an empty house?
00:13:33What's gonna happen to her?
00:13:36What is it?
00:13:38Nothing
00:13:40Nothing
00:14:10Come on

00:16:11Thank you, Nick
00:16:12I think that's everything
00:16:14If we missed something, I can bring you back for it
00:16:23So
00:16:24Where are we going?
00:16:27With me
00:16:29That's all you need to know
00:16:50I can't take that, they're way too expensive
00:16:52You need it
00:16:53How else can I contact you?
00:16:59This is too much
00:17:00You've already bought me so many things, I can't take more
00:17:04Lane
00:17:06I told you
00:17:06It's fine
00:17:07But
00:17:27Do you think it's
00:17:29Babyish?
00:17:30What?
00:17:30The dress
00:17:32I just like cute things
00:17:33It doesn't mean I'm a kid
00:17:35I didn't say anything
00:17:37Besides, you are still a kid
00:17:39I'm 18
00:17:41Yeah, barely
00:17:44That's not fair
00:17:45I've been living alone for years now, you know
00:17:47You can't treat me like some little kid
00:17:51All right, all right
00:17:53I hear you
00:17:54When we get home, I'll fix your bracelet
00:17:56All right, Miss Lane
00:17:57No
00:17:59You don't get it
00:18:26No
00:18:27Lane's just a kid
00:18:28She should stay pure
00:18:30Like this bracelet
00:18:36Come in
00:18:40Nick
00:18:55Lane, I don't think you even know what you're doing
00:19:11And teach me
00:19:13Daddy
00:19:16And teach me
00:19:19Daddy
00:19:31Put it on.
00:19:33What?
00:19:34We need to set some rules.
00:19:36Right now.
00:19:38First, as long as you're living here, I'm responsible for you.
00:19:42That's what this is.
00:19:43Do you understand me?
00:19:44I'm not a kid.
00:19:46I don't need you to treat me like one.
00:19:50Second, you don't come into this room again.
00:19:53Not without my permission.
00:19:55Am I clear?
00:19:57Good.
00:19:58Now go to your room.
00:20:00Get some sleep.
00:20:01Lights out at 10.30.
00:20:03Okay.
00:20:06After tonight, can I still stay?
00:20:10Yeah, of course you can.
00:20:12Get it together.
00:20:13You don't get to be anything else to her.
00:20:21Lane?
00:20:23I should go.
00:20:25I've got school.
00:20:26You've got time.
00:20:28Sit.
00:20:29Eat something first.
00:20:30He's gonna bring it up.
00:20:32Last night, he's gonna tell me I crossed a line.
00:20:37How've your grades been?
00:20:38They're fine.
00:20:39I keep up.
00:20:41And your classmates?
00:20:47I'm gonna be late.
00:20:48I'll see you tonight, okay?
00:20:54Okay, hold on.
00:20:56You're telling me some guy you don't know just swoops in, saves you, buys you stuff, and now you're living
00:21:01with him?
00:21:01And you don't think that's even a little messed up?
00:21:04He's not like that.
00:21:06He's...
00:21:07good.
00:21:08Then teach me.
00:21:10Daddy?
00:21:22Yeah, so is Ted Bundy.
00:21:25I'm not stupid, Kelly.
00:21:26I know the difference.
00:21:27He's a good man.
00:21:30I...
00:21:31like him.
00:21:32You like him?
00:21:35Are you serious right now?
00:21:36You actually like him?
00:21:37What's wrong with that?
00:21:38What's wrong?
00:21:40Lane, that man pays taxes and has back pain.
00:21:42He's 42.
00:21:43That's not old.
00:21:44You crazy?
00:21:45My dad's turning 40 next year.
00:21:47He could literally be your dad, Lane.
00:21:50Dad.
00:21:53He could literally be your dad, Lane.
00:21:55Dad.
00:21:57Okay, that's not weird to you?
00:21:59Hello?
00:22:00Earth to Lane.
00:22:01You know what?
00:22:02Fine.
00:22:02I can't fix this.
00:22:04I've got class.
00:22:06Good luck with...
00:22:07whatever this is.
00:22:10Hey, can you finish this section?
00:22:12And this one too, thanks.
00:22:14This.
00:22:15Don't forget this.
00:22:16Do tomorrow.
00:22:17Of course.
00:22:18It's always me.
00:22:22You're still up?
00:22:24I've got a lot to finish.
00:22:29Here.
00:22:30This part's not that bad.
00:22:32You just approach it from this angle.
00:22:34He could literally be your dad, Lane.
00:22:37Lane?
00:22:37Focus.
00:22:38Or, try breaking it down differently.
00:22:40You're overthinking.
00:22:41This feels like a dad helping his daughter with homework.
00:22:44Why was my mind going somewhere?
00:22:46It absolutely shouldn't.
00:22:48Lane?
00:22:54I already showed you how to solve it.
00:22:56You'll figure it out.
00:22:57Get some rest.
00:22:58Okay.
00:22:59Thank you, Nick.
00:23:15Nick?
00:23:19Dude, Jack, that paper?
00:23:21You killed it.
00:23:22Yeah.
00:23:23Just threw something together.
00:23:25Next thing I know, it's in the school journal.
00:23:35So, pretty solid work, right?
00:23:37That's my paper.
00:23:39You didn't throw something together.
00:23:40Why isn't my name on it?
00:23:42Hey, if your name's not on it, guess it's not yours.
00:23:45You can't do that.
00:23:47That's plazerism.
00:23:50And what are you going to do about it?
00:23:52Go cry to the principal?
00:23:53I spent weeks on that.
00:23:55You don't get to just...
00:23:57You know what I just realized?
00:24:00Your legs.
00:24:01Kind of nice.
00:24:07Relax.
00:24:08If anything, I did you a favor.
00:24:09Your work finally got noticed.
00:24:11Now shut your mouth,
00:24:12or I make sure you don't exist here anymore.
00:24:14Got it?
00:24:24Lane.
00:24:26Nick.
00:24:27What are you doing here?
00:24:30What?
00:24:31She tripped.
00:24:32Not my problem.
00:24:34She's the one causing trouble.
00:24:36Keep saying the paper's hers.
00:24:43This part's not that bad.
00:24:45You just approach it from this angle.
00:24:47You wrote this?
00:24:49Yeah.
00:24:50Why?
00:24:52What's going on here?
00:24:53They took my paper.
00:24:55It's mine.
00:24:56That's not...
00:24:57Enough.
00:24:59I know exactly what your level is.
00:25:01You.
00:25:02And you.
00:25:03One week suspension.
00:25:04Hmm.
00:25:07Stop.
00:25:08What now?
00:25:08You pushed her down the stairs.
00:25:10If this is how your students behave,
00:25:12I'll be reconsidering my investment here,
00:25:14and whether you're still fit to run this school.
00:25:17Get your parents in here.
00:25:18Immediately.
00:25:19You're suspended indefinitely pending review.
00:25:22You hear me?
00:25:23Is that enough for you?
00:25:26I expect this resolved quickly.
00:25:38I've got you.
00:25:48You know the principal?
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:52I'm on the board.
00:25:54I didn't know you were...
00:26:00Easy.
00:26:01I'll be gentle.
00:26:02I'm not gonna hurt you.
00:26:04For you,
00:26:05I don't mind the pain.
00:26:12You said you don't mind the pain.
00:26:16Yeah.
00:26:17Fuck you.
00:26:21Mr. Nick,
00:26:22the principal asked me to drop off some snacks and vitamins.
00:26:25Thanks.
00:26:27Get some rest.
00:26:28I'll pick you up after school.
00:26:30Okay.
00:26:39This is bullshit.
00:26:41Why are we the ones getting suspended?
00:26:43One word from that guy and the principal folds.
00:26:45Who the hell is he?
00:26:46No idea.
00:26:48But he and that chick?
00:26:49The way he carried her?
00:26:52That's not normal.
00:26:53I told you,
00:26:54girl like her doesn't get that kind of guts for free.
00:26:56She's gotta be screwing him.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Acting all quiet and innocent,
00:27:00but I bet she's a freak when it counts.
00:27:07What do you want?
00:27:08Hey!
00:27:09Stay the hell back!
00:27:17I know it was you.
00:27:19Get in.
00:27:20What?
00:27:21I'm not repeating myself.
00:27:27Nick?
00:27:35She didn't see what happened back there,
00:27:37did she?
00:27:37Is she scared of me now?
00:27:39Did he do that because of me?
00:27:41God,
00:27:42he looked so hot.
00:27:47Nick,
00:27:48those cakes are so pretty.
00:27:50Yeah.
00:27:51The one you got me that night?
00:27:53That was strawberry chiffon too.
00:27:55So,
00:27:56when's your birthday?
00:27:58I don't know.
00:27:59You don't know?
00:28:00I don't celebrate birthdays.
00:28:02Okay,
00:28:02then that counts.
00:28:03I'll take it.
00:28:05Then let me give you your first real birthday gift.
00:28:08The way you gave me.
00:28:10Mine.
00:28:28I already bought a gift.
00:28:30There has to be something in here
00:28:33with his birthday on it.
00:28:35What are you doing?
00:28:44What are you doing?
00:28:45I told you not to come in here.
00:28:47I wasn't snooping,
00:28:49I swear.
00:28:49You live in my house,
00:28:51you follow my rules.
00:28:52I'm sorry,
00:28:53I just...
00:28:55You do so much for me.
00:28:57I thought maybe I could do something for you.
00:29:00I took you in so you could have a life,
00:29:02not so you could spend it trying to please me.
00:29:04I...
00:29:06I...
00:29:07Get out.
00:29:07Now.
00:29:11I'm sorry.
00:29:21Lane,
00:29:22I'm sorry.
00:29:27Lane?
00:29:30Lane!
00:29:35Lane!
00:29:38Lane!
00:29:39Lane!
00:29:41Lane!
00:29:44Lane!
00:29:51Lane!
00:29:55Lane!
00:29:56About last night, I shouldn't have talked to you like that.
00:29:59Your friend came by.
00:30:01She said you've been half asleep in class and working multiple jobs.
00:30:05Lane, what's going on?
00:30:09If you needed money, you could have just come to me.
00:30:12I didn't know when your birthday was, so I just guessed.
00:30:17I wanted to get you something anyway.
00:30:21Why?
00:30:23Why would you do this?
00:30:25I just wanted to do something for you.
00:30:27You've done so much for me.
00:30:30I wanted you to feel happy, even a little.
00:30:34I mean it.
00:30:36I like them.
00:30:37But what I want for you more than anything is for you to love yourself, your body, your feelings, your
00:30:43limits.
00:30:44Those come first, always, okay?
00:30:46Okay.
00:30:48I will.
00:30:49I didn't know when your birthday was, so I just guessed.
00:30:53I wanted to get you something anyway.
00:31:10Lane, what are you doing?
00:31:16I was kissing you.
00:31:18No.
00:31:19No, Lane.
00:31:20We're not doing this.
00:31:22This is not what we are.
00:31:23You just turned 18.
00:31:25I'm 42.
00:31:27That's 24 years between us, Lane.
00:31:29So what?
00:31:30I don't care.
00:31:31Then maybe you should.
00:31:32Because this?
00:31:33Showing up in my room like this, half-dressed in the middle of the night, kissing me while I'm asleep,
00:31:38this is not okay.
00:31:39I'm sorry.
00:31:41I just...
00:31:41Just what?
00:31:42Tell me.
00:31:43If I hadn't woken up, what were you planning to do next?
00:31:46Climb into my bed?
00:31:47No.
00:31:48I swear, I wasn't...
00:31:49I didn't mean to offend you.
00:31:51I just...
00:31:52Couldn't help it.
00:31:53Stop degrading yourself like this.
00:31:55Don't make me more disappointed in you than I already am.
00:31:58I understand.
00:32:00It won't happen again.
00:32:02Lane, stop being stupid.
00:32:04Nick doesn't feel that way about you.
00:32:07Please.
00:32:08Please stop loving him like this.
00:32:10Don't make yourself any more pathetic.
00:32:14Nick?
00:32:15Hey.
00:32:15What happened, sweetheart?
00:32:17Bad night?
00:32:18I think I might have just had my first heartbreak.
00:32:21That does tend to feel like the end of the world, but I promise you, no man is worth drowning
00:32:26over.
00:32:26Come on, let's get you out of the rain.
00:32:28Hot drink, five minutes somewhere warm, you'll feel a little more human.
00:32:32Really.
00:32:33She's so beautiful.
00:32:34Of course men with someone like her.
00:32:36Hey, don't be too hard on yourself.
00:32:37This is just part of it, you know?
00:32:39I've been there too.
00:32:40I've loved someone that deeply.
00:32:42He actually lives around here.
00:32:43It's embarrassing, but today's his birthday.
00:32:45I guess that's why my feet brought me back.
00:32:47What was he like?
00:32:48A good man?
00:32:51I love a good man too.
00:32:52He just doesn't love me back.
00:32:54What the hell were you thinking?
00:32:56Running out into the rain dressed like this?
00:32:58Do you have any idea how worried I've been?
00:33:16Nick?
00:33:17Nick?
00:33:19Nick?
00:33:26It's been a while, Nick.
00:33:28Happy birthday.
00:33:30Happy birthday.
00:33:31She knew his birthday.
00:33:34She came there because of him.
00:33:37Who was she?
00:33:39Who?
00:33:40That woman.
00:33:41From earlier.
00:33:43We were together.
00:33:44A long time ago.
00:33:48Maybe that's the kind of woman Nick likes.
00:33:51Someone mature.
00:33:52Independent.
00:33:53And me?
00:33:54I'm just someone he takes care of.
00:33:56It's okay.
00:33:57I can do it myself.
00:34:04Maybe I should talk to her.
00:34:08This can't keep going like this.
00:34:18Hey.
00:34:19What's up?
00:34:20I'm near your school.
00:34:21Thought I could pick you up.
00:34:23You don't have to.
00:34:24I'm not at school right now.
00:34:30Come on, Lane.
00:34:31You should come out with us.
00:34:32We'll show you a good time.
00:34:33Thank you, Johnson.
00:34:34But I've actually got plans tonight.
00:34:37Told you.
00:34:38She's way too uptight.
00:34:40Girl practically screams virgin.
00:34:42Even for you, Mr. Star Alumnans.
00:34:44That's a long shot.
00:34:45Three days.
00:34:46I'll have her in bed in three days.
00:34:58You just turned 18.
00:35:01I'm 42.
00:35:02That's 24 years between us, Lane.
00:35:10You okay?
00:35:11You don't look like you're having much fun.
00:35:13Isn't this your club thing tonight?
00:35:15I'm fine, Johnson.
00:35:16Didn't know you'd be here.
00:35:17You didn't know?
00:35:19That hurts.
00:35:20If this place isn't doing it for you, I know somewhere a lot more interesting.
00:35:25Just the two of us.
00:35:26Showing up in my room like this, half-dressed in the middle of the night, kissing me while
00:35:30I'm asleep, this is not okay.
00:35:31If I went with you, would you kiss me?
00:35:34Of course I would.
00:35:43You really surprised me tonight, Lane.
00:35:45I didn't think you'd say yes that fast.
00:35:47Good girl.
00:35:48No, I'm not.
00:35:50Sure you are.
00:35:51And in a minute, I'm going to kiss that mouth.
00:35:53And a lot more than that.
00:35:55No, don't!
00:35:57What, are you playing hard to get now?
00:35:59No, I mean it.
00:36:00We shouldn't do this tonight.
00:36:02Ah!
00:36:03Did I say we were done?
00:36:06No!
00:36:07Stop!
00:36:09You came to a hotel room with me, Lane.
00:36:11Don't act innocent now.
00:36:13Stop degrading yourself like this!
00:36:18I'm going to find out exactly how good you taste, you little bitch.
00:36:25No!
00:36:29No!
00:36:41No!
00:36:42Do you like him?
00:36:45No!
00:36:46Then why the hell were you at a hotel with him?
00:36:48Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?
00:36:50If I hadn't followed you there, do you even understand what could have happened?
00:36:53You promised me you'd be good.
00:36:55So why would you do this to yourself?
00:36:57I don't want to be good anymore!
00:36:59You don't even want a good girl!
00:37:00What did you just say?
00:37:02You like women like Madonna.
00:37:04Real women.
00:37:06Women who are grown and beautiful and sexy.
00:37:10Not girls like me.
00:37:12Why would you think that?
00:37:14Because no matter what I do, I can't make you want me.
00:37:17You look at me and you don't...
00:37:19You don't feel anything.
00:37:22I could never be someone like her.
00:37:26Shh.
00:37:27Don't say that.
00:37:33You don't need to be anyone but yourself.
00:37:36You, exactly as you are, are enough.
00:37:41Nick.
00:37:55Nick.
00:37:56Kiss me.
00:38:02Nick.
00:38:07No.
00:38:08No, this has to stop.
00:38:11I'm sorry, Lane.
00:38:13Nick.
00:38:16Nick.
00:38:17Kiss me.
00:38:19What the hell is wrong with you?
00:38:22You're losing control.
00:38:23You're supposed to protect her.
00:38:27Be a father figure.
00:38:30Not...
00:38:31Not this.
00:38:43Stop!
00:38:44Just stop!
00:38:45You sick fuck!
00:38:47She's innocent!
00:38:48Don't do this to her!
00:38:58Sorry.
00:38:59I knocked over your glass.
00:39:01Are you hurt?
00:39:03You already knew, didn't you?
00:39:11I found out the day I called to pick you up from school.
00:39:14Why, Nick?
00:39:15Why is the court auctioning off my dad's house?
00:39:18Your mother did this.
00:39:20I'll get in touch with her.
00:39:22I'll handle it.
00:39:23It won't do any good.
00:39:24I know her.
00:39:25She'd do anything for money.
00:39:27Then I'll give her money.
00:39:28As long as she leaves you alone.
00:39:29No.
00:39:30You can't.
00:39:31She's an addict.
00:39:32A bottomless hole.
00:39:33When I was little, she'd skip feeding me just to buy drugs.
00:39:36She'd leave me home alone for days.
00:39:39And when she was coming down, sometimes she'd hit me.
00:39:44Hey.
00:39:45Hey.
00:39:46It's over.
00:39:48You're okay.
00:39:49I've got you.
00:39:55That's enough for tonight.
00:39:56Try to sleep.
00:39:58That house.
00:40:00It's the only thing my dad ever left me.
00:40:03Then he must have mattered to you.
00:40:06He wasn't good.
00:40:08He was just not as bad as my mom.
00:40:11Then let me be better than both of them.
00:40:14I'll take care of all of it.
00:40:16You don't have to carry this anymore.
00:40:30Lane, did you lock down your internship yet?
00:40:33Not yet.
00:40:34I sent out emails, but no one's gotten back to me.
00:40:36God, these credits are brutal.
00:40:39See you later.
00:40:44Lane, baby.
00:40:46It's me.
00:40:47What, no hug for your mother?
00:40:50Mom, why is the court selling dad's house?
00:40:52What did you do?
00:40:53What I did is none of your business.
00:40:55Don't forget who you're talking to.
00:40:57I'm still your mother.
00:41:00Give that back.
00:41:01Nice phone.
00:41:03Where'd you get this?
00:41:04Since when do you care about my life?
00:41:09Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
00:41:11I heard you hooked yourself a rich old man.
00:41:13Looks like he's taken real good care of you.
00:41:15What do you want now?
00:41:17If my daughter's sleeping with him, playing his little mistress, the least he can do is pay up.
00:41:22Are you high again?
00:41:23Or did you blow everything gambling?
00:41:25See, I knew you cared about me.
00:41:28Come on.
00:41:29Give your mother whatever cash you've got.
00:41:31I don't have any money.
00:41:32And even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you.
00:41:36What was that, you little bitch?
00:41:38I gave birth to you.
00:41:39I raised you.
00:41:41Now you're out here living pretty, spreading your legs, and you think you're too good for me.
00:41:47You've got money in here somewhere.
00:41:50No, don't play dumb.
00:41:57You're her mother.
00:41:58How can you treat her like this?
00:42:00Who the hell are you to tell me how to raise my kid?
00:42:03Wait.
00:42:03You're the rich old guy, aren't you?
00:42:05The one keeping her.
00:42:06So what?
00:42:06She good in bed?
00:42:07Keeping you happy?
00:42:08If you're enjoying her that much, you can spare a little money for her mother.
00:42:11Shut your mouth.
00:42:12You don't deserve to call yourself her mother.
00:42:14Security.
00:42:16What do you mean I don't deserve it?
00:42:18You're the one screwing my daughter.
00:42:19Security.
00:42:20Make sure she never gets near this school again.
00:42:22You bastard.
00:42:23You're going to pay for this.
00:42:26Nick?
00:42:28What am I supposed to do?
00:42:30We do this properly.
00:42:32Legally.
00:42:32You don't worry about any of it.
00:42:34Leave it to me, alright?
00:42:38Come on.
00:42:39Let's go home.
00:42:43Wait.
00:42:43Is that Nick Hart?
00:42:45No way.
00:42:46He showed up for this case?
00:42:47That's him.
00:42:48Guy doesn't lose.
00:42:49Most people couldn't afford ten minutes of his time.
00:42:52Order in the court.
00:42:53Counsel for the plaintiff, you may proceed.
00:42:55Your Honor, the facts are straightforward.
00:42:58The defendant had no legal authority to sell or transfer one of his property.
00:43:04This court finds that the defendant had no legal authority to sell or otherwise dispose of the plaintiff's property.
00:43:11He actually did it.
00:43:13The defendant's request to auction the property is denied.
00:43:16The defendant is permanent prohibited from selling, mortgage-ing, transferring, or otherwise interfering with the property.
00:43:23Court is adjourned.
00:43:26The defendant has no legal authority to sell or does not require anything.
00:43:29Hello.
00:43:50You okay?
00:43:50Did it get you?
00:43:54It's okay.
00:43:55Let me see.
00:44:07Better.
00:44:20That's... that's my phone.
00:44:22I should... check that.
00:44:25Right.
00:44:33Easy, Nick.
00:44:34Get it together.
00:44:38Nick, this is amazing.
00:44:40I got the internship at a public company.
00:44:44I really thought my first day as an intern would be all spreadsheets and awkward small talk.
00:44:48Not this.
00:44:49Oh, loosen up.
00:44:50This is basically our initiation ritual.
00:44:52Lane, welcome to the circus.
00:44:54Come on, Lane.
00:44:54Spill.
00:44:55Is there a guy?
00:44:56Take it from me.
00:44:57Don't ever trust the polished version of a man.
00:44:59The real dirt is always buried where you can't see it.
00:45:01Oh, absolutely.
00:45:03Older men just come with better suits and darker secrets.
00:45:06Nick, are you home?
00:45:10What the...
00:45:14Nick, are you in there?
00:45:16I'm just turning it off for him.
00:45:17That's not a big deal.
00:45:23Don't ever trust the polished version of a man.
00:45:25The real dirt is always buried where you can't see it.
00:45:29This just in.
00:45:30At 9 p.m., police discover the body of...
00:45:47Lane, why are you sitting in the dark?
00:45:52I know what you've been hiding.
00:45:54Do you?
00:45:56The judge.
00:45:58That's you.
00:46:01And now what?
00:46:03You found a serial killer.
00:46:05What are you going to do?
00:46:06Turn me in?
00:46:11The judge doesn't kill innocent people.
00:46:14So is this what you use?
00:46:18Lane.
00:46:24Who taught you that?
00:46:26Then teach me something else.
00:46:28Teach me how to shoot.
00:46:31You don't need to learn that.
00:46:33Yes, I do.
00:46:34My father was murdered.
00:46:37I have to find the man who did it.
00:46:39And learn how to shoot.
00:46:40I have to kill him.
00:46:46Lane, do you remember what I told you?
00:46:48We do this properly and legally.
00:46:50And I don't think your father would want your whole life consumed by revenge.
00:46:54I can't let it go.
00:46:55Not unless he pays for it.
00:46:57Don't go down that road.
00:46:58I once killed a man who shouldn't have died.
00:47:00And the kind of regret that follows.
00:47:03It's worse than you can imagine.
00:47:08I'm losing.
00:47:16I once killed a man who shouldn't have died.
00:47:18And the kind of regret that follows.
00:47:21It's worse than you can imagine.
00:47:24So that's it.
00:47:25That's the secret he's been carrying.
00:47:29Lane, starting today you've been reassigned.
00:47:32You'll be the CEO's personal secretary.
00:47:34Report to his office now.
00:47:44Johnson, what are you doing here?
00:47:47When you sent in your resume, did you really not check who owns this company?
00:47:51My father is the chairman.
00:47:53And I'm the acting CEO.
00:47:54No.
00:47:55I didn't know.
00:47:56That's fine.
00:47:57Bring me that suit.
00:47:59I'm wearing it to tonight's gala.
00:48:01I'm wearing it to tonight's gala.
00:48:05I want you to help me put it on.
00:48:08Or you can say no.
00:48:09And get fired on your second day.
00:48:13Start with the buttons.
00:48:23Tell me something.
00:48:25If that old man saw this, what do you think his face would look like?
00:48:30Johnson, delete it!
00:48:34Lane, you cannot seriously still believe that old bastard is going to burst through that
00:48:38door and rescue you.
00:48:41Wake up.
00:48:42No one is coming for you.
00:48:44Now keep going.
00:48:45Help me get dressed.
00:48:48Like this.
00:48:52By the way, I think you forgot to close the door when you came in.
00:48:56Now we have an audience.
00:49:01You lied to me!
00:49:04I did.
00:49:05What exactly are you going to do about it?
00:49:13Easy, Lane.
00:49:15Our game's just getting started.
00:49:18I'm just getting started.
00:49:23I'm just getting started.
00:49:26I'm just getting started.
00:49:27Mr. Johnson's here.
00:49:29That suit is unreal on him.
00:49:32Who's the girl with him?
00:49:34No idea.
00:49:35Haven't seen her before.
00:49:54Well, that's unfortunate.
00:49:56My shoe's wet.
00:49:58Come on, Lane.
00:49:58Get down there and make yourself useful.
00:50:01What the hell is happening?
00:50:03She must have pissed him off.
00:50:04This is insane.
00:50:05Is she actually going to do it?
00:50:08What?
00:50:09You let some rich old man crawl all over you and now suddenly this is where you draw the lines?
00:50:15Oh my God.
00:50:17Seriously?
00:50:21That's not true.
00:50:23Then tell me when he was on top of you.
00:50:25Did you call him Daddy or Grandpa?
00:50:32If wiping it off is beneath you, fine.
00:50:35Get down there and lick it clean.
00:50:50What the hell are you all looking at?
00:51:05Heard your private life's a mess.
00:51:07I figured we'd help wash some of it off.
00:51:10Sleeping with an old man and throwing yourself at the T.E.O.
00:51:14Yeah, one bucket's not going to fix that.
00:51:19She's been passed around by old men and throw people on that good girl out?
00:51:24Pathetic.
00:51:29Don't believe it.
00:51:31Oh, damn it.
00:51:33Let's go.
00:51:37Let's do this.
00:51:43Let's do this.
00:51:43Hey.
00:51:43Let's do it.
00:51:45Let's go.
00:51:45Huh.
00:52:03Why are you home this late? Where the hell were you? Why weren't you answering your phone?
00:52:16They all call me a whore! Your little mistress! And the sick joke is, you won't even touch me.
00:52:59I want everything that happened to an intern at Sinthera today. Her name is Lane. Look into it. Thoroughly.
00:53:28Nick?
00:53:39Nick! Where did you go?
00:53:44Nick, is that you?
00:53:49You must be Miss Lane.
00:53:51Yes. Can I help you with something?
00:53:55Miss Lane?
00:54:00We are so sorry!
00:54:04What happened yesterday was entirely my son's fault.
00:54:11What are you standing there for? Apologize to Miss Lane. Now!
00:54:17I'm sorry.
00:54:19Our family sincerely apologizes for my son's behavior. We only ask that you be gracious enough not to hold it
00:54:25against us.
00:54:30You must be Mr. Nick Hart. Enough.
00:54:36Miss Lane, I'm sorry.
00:54:39No, no, no.
00:54:40Don't dirty her hands.
00:54:41Right. Of course. You're absolutely right.
00:54:47You stupid little shit. Do you have any idea who you've lost?
00:54:50I know. I screwed up. It won't happen again. Please, Dad, please.
00:54:54If this little performance is over, you can see yourselves out.
00:55:00Oh my God, Nick. How did they even find this place?
00:55:03And he brought his parents?
00:55:05No. His parents dragged him over here to apologize.
00:55:07His dad literally owns Synthara. They are, like, disgustingly rich.
00:55:13So, do you forgive him?
00:55:16But, okay. Seeing him get wrecked like that was kind of satisfying.
00:55:22I need to take this.
00:55:26Yes.
00:55:27Mr. Hart, we did exactly as you asked. We apologized in person.
00:55:32Please, please don't release that evidence.
00:55:34If it goes public, we're finished.
00:55:36Syntharia is facing a major corporate scandal tonight after evidence of serious illegal activity was leaked to the press.
00:55:43Shares are in free fall.
00:55:44And analysts say bankruptcy may be imminent.
00:55:47Nick, oh my God, look.
00:55:48Syntharia completely screwed.
00:55:50You're too late.
00:55:51I was never going to spare you.
00:55:54What?
00:55:57I'm coming.
00:56:03I don't get it.
00:56:04I seriously do not get it, Kelly.
00:56:06Okay.
00:56:07What exactly are we spiraling about?
00:56:14I know Syntharia going under was him.
00:56:16And Jack falling down the stairs, that was him, too.
00:56:18He did both because of me.
00:56:19Wait. Jack, too? He got seriously hurt?
00:56:21Damn.
00:56:22Girl, that man is down catastrophically bad for you.
00:56:25Then why does he keep pulling away?
00:56:26What am I supposed to do to make him stop?
00:56:33Mr. Hart, this is Kelly, Lane's friend.
00:56:36Johnson took Lane to a hotel.
00:56:38I don't know what he's planning, but you need to get here now.
00:56:40What did you just say?
00:56:49Sir, are you a guest here?
00:56:55Fuck.
00:57:04Are you hurt?
00:57:05Did he lay a hand on you?
00:57:11I'm okay.
00:57:17No one forced you.
00:57:18You came here on your own.
00:57:20You lied to me.
00:57:21Yeah.
00:57:22Johnson's in prison.
00:57:23He couldn't have taken me anywhere.
00:57:25This was all me.
00:57:26Do you have any idea what you just did to me?
00:57:28You're too smart to fall for something this stupid, Nick.
00:57:31The only reason you came running is because it was me.
00:57:36Because I matter to you.
00:57:38Of course I care about you.
00:57:40But only in a fatherly way.
00:57:42Nothing more.
00:57:43You are not my father, Nick.
00:57:45You never were.
00:57:46So don't stand there and dress this up as duty just to make yourself feel noble.
00:57:52If you want me, say it.
00:57:55And if you walk away from me now, don't call it virtue.
00:57:58Call it what it is.
00:58:00Cowardice.
00:58:26How do you always know exactly how to undo me?
00:58:31Just admit it.
00:58:32You've wanted more than to be my father for a long time.
00:58:40Enough.
00:58:41Take those words out of your mouth before I do it for you.
00:58:54Hello, this room is scheduled to check out shortly.
00:58:58Please come to the front desk if you'd like to extend your stay.
00:59:06Come in.
00:59:14It's okay.
00:59:16You don't have to knock anymore.
00:59:22I brought you milk.
00:59:34Maybe this sounds stupid.
00:59:36But I want to know you.
00:59:39Is that okay?
00:59:40Okay.
00:59:46Of course.
00:59:47So tell me what is it you want to know.
00:59:52Honestly.
00:59:54I don't even know where to start.
00:59:57Then come with me tomorrow night.
00:59:59There's an industry gala.
01:00:01Consider it lesson one.
01:00:03Okay.
01:00:05Okay.
01:00:06Okay.
01:00:14Is that Nick Hart?
01:00:15Since when does he bring a date?
01:00:18Mr. Hart, we still haven't properly thanked you.
01:00:21If it weren't for you in court, we would have lost hundreds of millions.
01:00:24Just doing my job.
01:00:25I heard you took the Hilbert case.
01:00:27The one no one else would touch.
01:00:28Jesus, Nick.
01:00:29Do you ever miss?
01:00:30Mr. Hart, if you'd ever consider serving as outside counsel for our company, name your fee.
01:00:34He's so incredible.
01:00:35One day, I want people to look at me the way they look at him.
01:00:43You have something for me?
01:00:45Yeah.
01:00:46Heath surfaced.
01:00:50Hmm.
01:00:58Seen enough?
01:00:59Or do I finally get this dance?
01:01:02Definitely.
01:01:13You were kind of unfair tonight.
01:01:15Nobody should be allowed to look that good and be that impressive at the same time.
01:01:19Lay.
01:01:20I want to know you, too.
01:01:23Would you let me?
01:01:35Would you let me?
01:01:37Nick.
01:01:38Nick.
01:01:40Nick.
01:01:42Nick.
01:01:43Nick.
01:01:43Nick.
01:01:44Nick.
01:01:44Nick.
01:01:50No. I want to hear you.
01:02:44I want to hear you.
01:02:45I want to hear you.
01:03:16Lane, what are you doing in here?
01:03:21Was it you? Were you the one who killed my father?
01:03:24That person you told me about? The one you said shouldn't have died?
01:03:28Was that him? Oh my God. It was you. You killed him. Why him? Why my father?
01:03:33Lane, it was an accident. It didn't happen the way you think it did.
01:03:37You knew. This whole time you knew I was his daughter. Was all of this just guilt because you killed
01:03:42him?
01:03:42No. That's not what this was. Lane, listen to me.
01:03:44Don't touch me. You killed my father. And I slept with you. I stripped for you.
01:03:48I begged you to love me. And you... You killed him.
01:03:52Lane, I am so sorry.
01:03:54And what about me? When do I get a bullet, Mr. Killer?
01:03:56No. No, Lane. I would never hurt you.
01:03:59Nick! I hate you!
01:04:16Don't touch me. You killed my father. And I slept with you. And what about me? When do I get
01:04:21a bullet, Mr. Killer?
01:04:22I never thought I'd see the great Nick Hart drunk over a girl. We dated. And even then, I never
01:04:28saw you fall apart like this.
01:04:31For God's sake, Nick, enough. It's been days. You keep this up, you're going to kill yourself.
01:04:37Any word on him?
01:04:40Nothing. Still nothing.
01:04:42No. I'm done waiting. I'm going to find her. Like I always do.
01:04:58Is Lane here? I need to talk to her.
01:05:00You've got some nerve showing up here.
01:05:03Please. I just need one minute.
01:05:05She doesn't want to see you. Haven't you done enough?
01:05:08Kelly, no.
01:05:09No. She said no. If you really love her, then stop making this worse.
01:05:17He's gone.
01:05:30Yes. We found him.
01:05:32Good. Send me the address. I'll finish this tonight.
01:05:44Heath runs the whole operation now. He's got hundreds of men around him. And every one of them would kill
01:05:48for him. He's ruthless, Nick. You need to be careful.
01:05:51I won't miss this time.
01:05:52Come on, Lane. Don't do this to yourself. He's not worth it. Let's put something on, okay? I saw this
01:05:57insane show the other day.
01:05:58Oh, for God's sake. Again? I already told you, Lane doesn't want to see you.
01:06:07Is Lane here? I need to speak with her.
01:06:12I'll give you two some privacy.
01:06:15How did you find me? What is this about?
01:06:19There's something you deserve to know.
01:06:21Your father's death really was an accident. Nick has made a lot of choices he can live with. That was
01:06:26the one he couldn't. He was never there for your father. He was there for Heath.
01:06:31Who's there?
01:06:32We had a deal! So why the hell are you backing out now?
01:06:35I'm done. I'm not doing this anymore.
01:06:37That's not your call. You know too much. You don't just walk away from me.
01:06:43What do you want?
01:06:44Simple. Dead men don't talk.
01:06:56No. No, that can't be what happened.
01:06:59It was the only time he ever missed. He was trying to save your father. Heath used him as a
01:07:04shield.
01:07:05Why are you telling me this? Because you still love him, don't you? But what am I supposed to do
01:07:11with that? Even if he didn't mean to pull the trigger on my father, he still killed him.
01:07:15You're right. I do still love him. So that's exactly why I'm here. Because I can't sit back and watch
01:07:21him die. You're the only one who can stop him.
01:07:25What are you saying?
01:07:26He went after Heath alone. Heath has an army around him now. Real killers. If Nick went in there by
01:07:33himself, he's not coming back.
01:07:37Heath!
01:07:39Long time no see.
01:07:42I'm here to finish what I should have finished years ago.
01:08:07You don't need to be anyone but yourself. You, exactly as you are, are enough.
01:08:13No. No, no, no, no. Nick, don't you dare die on me.
01:08:20Oh my god. Nick. Nick, are you hurt?
01:08:30Nick!
01:08:32Lean. This is my penance. Please, forgive me.
01:08:36Nick, stay with me. Nick!
01:08:40No!
01:08:41No!
01:08:50Please, Nick. Please don't leave me.
01:08:53Miss, you need to stay back. We're doing everything we can. Please wait outside.
01:09:05God. Please, please. Just not him.
01:09:19Nick!
01:09:20Nick, you're awake!
01:09:21How long was I out?
01:09:25Three days.
01:09:27You've been here this whole time.
01:09:29Nick, you knew how dangerous it was. Why did you go?
01:09:33He was mine to finish, and your father deserved better than the way he died.
01:09:37I know what happened that night. If you hadn't been there, I probably would have died too.
01:09:41Do you have any idea how scared I was? I can't even imagine what I'd do if I lost you.
01:09:44I already transferred everything into your name. If something had happened to me, you would have been taken care of.
01:09:49No! I don't want that. I don't want your money. I just want you. So please, stay alive for me.
01:09:58This yours. It's been going non-stop.
01:10:00I don't know the number.
01:10:03This is Jane. Nick's daughter. You're Lane, right?
01:10:07Yes.
01:10:08Are you trying to get him killed? Do you have any idea what you've done?
01:10:14I-
01:10:15This is on you. Do you hear me? I'm coming back right now, and if anything happens to him, I
01:10:21swear to God I will never forgive you.
01:10:23Jane. Enough. Not another word.
01:10:32Sorry, Lane. She's scared. That's all.
01:10:36Don't let her make this heavier than it already is.
01:10:39What happened in that garage?
01:10:41That was my choice. Not yours.
01:10:54Seriously? In your condition? Let me help.
01:10:58I'm fine.
01:11:04Nick.
01:11:23Mr. Hart. You're cleared for discharge. You can start getting ready to leave.
01:11:28Thank you. By the way, your room's still there. I kept it exactly the way you left it.
01:11:36God, I miss this place.
01:11:47You're still alive, so why exactly would I fly back?
01:11:50Jane, are you planning to spend the rest of your life hopping continents and chasing endangered animals?
01:11:54Next month, it's Africa. Elephants. Now why are you calling, and this better be good?
01:12:00Hypothetically, if a man had absolutely no idea how to ask a woman to be with you.
01:12:04What?
01:12:07No! You absolutely will not!
01:12:10Was that Jane?
01:12:11Yeah. She says she's not coming back. Apparently, next month she plans to go get herself killed in Africa.
01:12:18You two are unbelievable.
01:12:21Jane's not actually my real daughter. She was my friend's little girl. He died young, and I stepped in. Kids
01:12:27gave her hell for not having a father, so eventually she just started telling people I was her dad.
01:12:30I know. She told me.
01:12:32Oh, God. That girl is a menace. What else did she tell you?
01:12:36That your entire breakfast repertoire begins and ends with sandwiches.
01:12:41Unbelievable. I take her in, raise her, and this is how she repays me? Slander. I'm calling her back.
01:12:47But I happen to love sandwiches.
01:12:50And this year's valedictorian is...
01:12:55Lane Morallo.
01:13:02Jane, what are you doing here?
01:13:04Please. You're finally about to do something reckless in broad daylight. There was no way I was missing this.
01:13:09I'm so honored to be standing here. And while I owe my teachers and classmates more than I could ever
01:13:15say, there's one person I need to thank most.
01:13:19He found me when I was falling apart.
01:13:22What I want for you more than anything is for you to love yourself, your body, your feelings, your limits.
01:13:28Those come first, always. Okay?
01:13:31Okay.
01:13:31He taught me that loving someone else means nothing if you don't know how to love yourself first.
01:13:36You don't need to be anyone but yourself. You, exactly as you are, are enough.
01:13:43And he made me believe that I never had to become anyone else to be worthy of love. I only
01:13:49had to be fully, bravely myself. So, thank you, Nick.
01:13:55Mr. Hart, would you like to say a few words?
01:14:00Lane, would you let me be more than the man in the audience cheering for you? Would you let me
01:14:04be yours?
01:14:26Lane, would you let me be yours?
01:14:35All right, that's enough. You've been milking this all the way home.
01:14:39What? I'm just happy for you.
01:14:42I'm gonna take off.
01:14:43Where are you going?
01:14:44I have premium gossip and a moral obligation to share it. Besides, pretty sure you don't want me hanging around
01:14:49while you and Lane.
01:14:51Bye!
01:15:09Say it again. What you said today.
01:15:12I said yes.
01:15:16Yes.
01:15:26Wrong. Call me daddy.
01:15:34Try again. What do you call me?
01:15:39Daddy.
01:15:40Hey, you.
01:15:43I said yeah.
01:15:45I said yes.
01:15:45I said yes.
