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