Transcript

00:00:00Ivy, why are you always coming after me?

00:00:03You laugh at me for being poor, for having cheap gear, and I can put up with all of that.

00:00:07But you can't abuse your power as captain to kick me off the squad, to ruin my dream.

00:00:13What the hell are you talking about?

00:00:15What do you want from me? Do you want me to beg in front of the entire school?

00:00:24She pushed me. She's bullying me.

00:00:28Back off!

00:00:32Ivy, Poppy, these two families are here to adopt you.

00:00:37One of you will go with the Lockards, and one with the Joneses.

00:00:41I'll let you choose who goes where.

00:00:45In my last life, I got adopted by the Joneses.

00:00:54And Poppy went home with the Lockards, to be a rich girl like she'd always dreamed of.

00:01:00But money didn't save her.

00:01:03Not from a neglected father.

00:01:05And definitely not from that asshole brother of hers.

00:01:21She got the mansion, the designer dresses, the name, but she never got love.

00:01:32Asher, you must be exhausted.

00:01:35I brought you a towel.

00:01:41Poppy wanted her fairy tale ending.

00:01:44Marry the rich boy.

00:01:46Become Mrs. Lockwood.

00:01:49Poppy tried everything, but she ended up with nothing but crippling debt.

00:01:54The Lockwoods disowned her.

00:01:56So when Asher and I finally got married, she snapped.

00:02:04You bitch!

00:02:06I hate you!

00:02:07You ruined everything!

00:02:09If I'd chosen the Joneses, Asher would be mine!

00:02:12You stole my life!

00:02:15Go to hell, Ivy!

00:02:26Poppy, why?

00:02:27Is it because I married Asher?

00:02:29Because you think I got everything you ever wanted because you wanted to be me?

00:02:33You don't understand.

00:02:35My life wasn't some fairy tale.

00:02:37It was just a different kind of prison.

00:02:39If I could do it again, I would have walked away from it all.

00:02:49Ivy, Poppy, one of you goes with the Joneses.

00:02:53One goes with the Lockwoods.

00:02:55So, who do you choose?

00:02:57I was sent back in time to that day at the orphanage.

00:03:00To the day Poppy and I chose our parents.

00:03:04Mommy, Daddy, can I go home with you pretty please?

00:03:07I want to be Papa Jones.

00:03:09That's odd.

00:03:10Poppy's always wanted rich parents.

00:03:12Why isn't she choosing the Lockhounds?

00:03:15Ivy, I know you always wanted to be rich.

00:03:18So you can go with the Lockhouses.

00:03:20Hope you love your new family.

00:03:22She's choosing the Jones?

00:03:25But...

00:03:25Why?

00:03:29Let's go.

00:03:32Remember how much Ashen loved saving little Sindrula?

00:03:35Well, it's my turn to play the poor girl.

00:03:38And you?

00:03:39You'll get to suffer.

00:03:41Just like I did.

00:03:43She remembers.

00:03:45So, she got sent back in time too?

00:03:48No.

00:04:21You're a Jones now, kid.

00:04:22Eat.

00:04:23Don't hold back.

00:04:25Look at that.

00:04:26She handles a knife better than we do.

00:04:28She's going places, Hank.

00:04:29I just know it.

00:04:30Of course I am.

00:04:33Wow.

00:04:34I really outdid myself.

00:04:37Call me Picasso.

00:04:39Being a Lockwood might seem great on the surface, but behind the scenes, it's a never-ending nightmare.

00:04:45I have to get myself out of here.

00:04:54Ashler!

00:04:55Stop!

00:04:56You're gonna kill me!

00:04:57Please!

00:04:59I'm your sister!

00:05:01Kill you?

00:05:01Please.

00:05:02I haven't even touched you.

00:05:04Besides, you're the one who weaseled your way into my family.

00:05:07Filthy gold debtor.

00:05:09Tell you what.

00:05:10If you're so desperate for cash, drink piss out of the toilet and I'll give you a hundred grand.

00:05:14I don't care about your stupid money!

00:05:17Still pretending?

00:05:18Fine.

00:05:29Hey.

00:05:31Who the fuck said you could be in here?

00:05:34Get out.

00:05:40Fucking nerds.

00:05:42Always ruining all the fun.

00:05:44Whatever.

00:05:44Let's go.

00:05:51You okay?

00:05:53Jade LeWerent.

00:05:54Top of the class.

00:05:55She's never even looked at me before.

00:05:58So why is she helping me now?

00:06:02Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:06:09What the fuck?

00:06:10Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

00:06:13I got your shoes all dirty.

00:06:18No, it's okay.

00:06:19It's no big deal.

00:06:22You look exhausted.

00:06:23You should sit down for a bit.

00:06:25I can't.

00:06:26I still have half the cafeteria left.

00:06:28If it's not spotless, they'll dock a hundred off my mom's paycheck.

00:06:31It's probably nothing to you, but for us,

00:06:34it's a whole week of expenses.

00:06:38You too.

00:06:39Help her.

00:06:40How do you get home after school?

00:06:43Oh, I walk.

00:06:44Takes me about an hour on a good day.

00:06:47An hour?

00:06:47That's ridiculous.

00:06:48I'll drive you from now on.

00:07:02Go ahead, Poppy.

00:07:03Be as smug as you want.

00:07:04You're walking into your own hell.

00:07:06Programming prodigy's Jade Laurent.

00:07:07In my last life, she wrote AI code that revolutionized the world.

00:07:11But she didn't live long enough to see it.

00:07:13Jade.

00:07:14Heard her junkie dad showed up to school demanding money.

00:07:16Again.

00:07:16She beat her up and stole the money she made working part-time.

00:07:20Guess she couldn't take it anymore.

00:07:22Yeah, she had it pretty rough.

00:07:23Remember how her mom died because they couldn't afford the meds?

00:07:25Jade went through so much, but she never complained or asked for handouts.

00:07:29This time around, I'm not just saving myself.

00:07:31I'll save her too.

00:07:36My eyes are bigger than my stomach.

00:07:37Help me out?

00:07:39What's the catch?

00:07:40There isn't one.

00:07:41I just hate wasting food.

00:07:43But if you really don't want it, I guess I'll just have to toss it.

00:07:47Spoiled rich kids.

00:07:48By the way, I totally bombed the last trig test.

00:07:51Could you tutor me?

00:07:52Why me?

00:07:53Because you're the smartest person in school.

00:07:55If I want to get into a top school, shouldn't I learn from the best?

00:07:58How about a hundred bucks an hour?

00:08:02I charge everyone 25 an hour.

00:08:04No exceptions.

00:08:05Meet me at the library tomorrow at three.

00:08:07Nice.

00:08:08See you then.

00:08:11Eat up, dear.

00:08:12We can't thank you enough for looking after Poppy at school.

00:08:16No prob.

00:08:17Poppy, she's cool.

00:08:18Everyone loves her.

00:08:19And thanks for having me.

00:08:22You're welcome anytime, son.

00:08:23We've always wished we could give Poppy more.

00:08:26But knowing she's got someone like you in her corner, well, it means a lot to us.

00:08:31Our family doesn't have much, so we've always hoped a reliable young man would come along and help Poppy.

00:08:37If only you could...

00:08:39Oh, I'm rambling again, aren't I?

00:08:40Please, eat up.

00:08:45I made this.

00:08:46I know it's kind of dumb, but I thought you'd like it.

00:08:49It's late.

00:08:50You're more than welcome to stay the night if you'd like.

00:08:53I should get going, but thank you.

00:08:55Tonight was really nice.

00:09:06Why didn't you stop him?

00:09:08I gave you the perfect opportunity.

00:09:10I just got him to hold my hand.

00:09:13I can't move too fast.

00:09:15Holding hands?

00:09:17What is this, kindergarten?

00:09:18You should have thrown your yourself at him.

00:09:21We give you the chance of a lifetime.

00:09:23And you let it slip right through your fingers?

00:09:28We adopted you to land a rich guy.

00:09:31I feed you, clothe you, put a roof over your head.

00:09:35But when it matters, you choke?

00:09:37You think you're some damn princess?

00:09:41Dad, just give me a little more time.

00:09:44Asher's almost on the hook, I swear.

00:09:48Where's Asher?

00:09:49He went out after school, sir.

00:09:50Calls have been going straight to voicemail.

00:09:53Dinner is family time.

00:09:55How dare he treat this house like a hotel?

00:09:57I'm home.

00:09:59Where the hell have you been?

00:10:01Do you have any idea what time it is?

00:10:03Sorry, Dad.

00:10:04I promise it won't happen again.

00:10:06I already ate.

00:10:08I'll head up first.

00:10:11Of course.

00:10:12He can't resist a damsel in distress.

00:10:15Give him a poor girl to save.

00:10:17And he folds every time.

00:10:19Go ahead.

00:10:20Asher, play right into her hands.

00:10:22As for me, I'm climbing out.

00:10:24Ivy for the last time.

00:10:25Stop zoning out at the dinner table.

00:10:28Sorry, Dad.

00:10:29Um, by the way, could I have some extra money for textbooks?

00:10:38Thought you could squeeze more money out of Dad?

00:10:42You disgusting gold dagger.

00:10:44Poppy's a thousand times better than you'll ever be.

00:10:47Great.

00:10:48Then go bother her.

00:10:49Stop wasting your time on me.

00:10:58Are you insane?

00:11:00Thumbtacks?

00:11:01What if she swallowed one of those?

00:11:03I thought we were teaching her a lesson.

00:11:05What?

00:11:06Feel sorry for her now?

00:11:07What?

00:11:07No.

00:11:08I'm just saying.

00:11:09There's levels to this shit.

00:11:14Uh, Ivy, how could you be so careless?

00:11:17Here.

00:11:18Have my lunch instead.

00:11:20Eat up.

00:11:25Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

00:11:32Is that all you're eating?

00:11:33Come on.

00:11:34I'll take you to the cafeteria.

00:11:35My treat.

00:11:36No, it's okay.

00:11:38I couldn't bother you.

00:11:39Let's go.

00:11:51Poppy.

00:11:53Poppy?

00:11:54Poppy?

00:11:54Not here?

00:11:55Ivy, go find Poppy.

00:11:57Okay.

00:12:02Oh my god, your sister's spying on us.

00:12:06You spying on us now, you perv?

00:12:08Please.

00:12:09I have better things to do.

00:12:12Practice started ten minutes ago.

00:12:13Coach Knox told me to find you.

00:12:15Damn it.

00:12:16Just when Azure was finally paying attention.

00:12:18I won't let her ruin this for me.

00:12:23What's wrong?

00:12:26It's just...

00:12:27cramps.

00:12:28They're always rough.

00:12:31Poppy's not going to practice.

00:12:32I'm taking her home.

00:12:35I can't miss another practice.

00:12:38You don't need practice to be better than her.

00:12:41Come on, let's go.

00:12:50So, where's Poppy?

00:12:52She...

00:12:53I couldn't find her.

00:12:56All right, girls.

00:12:58State championships are coming up.

00:12:59If we win, you'll all have a shot at D1 schools.

00:13:21Relax, Poppy.

00:13:23You making the cut is a done deal.

00:13:25Yeah, chill out.

00:13:26Your coach loves you.

00:13:30What?

00:13:31Disqualified?

00:13:33You!

00:13:34You did this!

00:13:36Read it.

00:13:37Repeated unexcused absences from practice.

00:13:40GPA below requirement.

00:13:41Automatic disqualification.

00:13:43If you've got a problem, take it up with Coach Knox.

00:13:46Shit!

00:13:46If I'm off the squad, how am I supposed to get close to Asher?

00:13:50Film this.

00:13:55Ivy, why are you always coming after me?

00:13:57You laugh at me for being poor, for having cheap gear, and I can put up with all of that.

00:14:02But you can't abuse your power as captain to kick me off the squad.

00:14:06To ruin my dream.

00:14:07What the hell are you talking about?

00:14:09What do you want from me?

00:14:11Do you want me to beg in front of the entire school?

00:14:15Whoa!

00:14:18She pushed me!

00:14:20She's bullying me!

00:14:22Back off!

00:14:31She pushed me!

00:14:32She's bullying me!

00:14:36This is insane!

00:14:37They're acting like you committed a felony!

00:14:40It's even on the news?

00:14:41Since when does high school drama count as journalism?

00:14:43This is bullshit!

00:14:48I've never seen you this fired up.

00:14:50You're usually so calm.

00:14:51How are you laughing right now?

00:14:53You have a disciplinary meeting tomorrow!

00:14:55They'll rip you apart!

00:15:00Poppy's really going all out to destroy me.

00:15:04But we'll make her eat her words.

00:15:07Right, Jade?

00:15:09We?

00:15:16Asher, the disciplinary meeting's about to start.

00:15:18Where's Poppy?

00:15:21I'm here!

00:15:24Sorry, we're holding a disciplinary meeting in here

00:15:27for the sake of student privacy!

00:15:29I ask you to step outside!

00:15:31Principal Johnson,

00:15:32bullying is a serious accusation.

00:15:34Isn't the alleged bully's father

00:15:36a prominent businessman?

00:15:37And on the school board?

00:15:39The other board members

00:15:40and the public

00:15:42have a right to know!

00:15:43Transparency matters.

00:15:45Or were you trying to bury this?

00:15:48Everyone, quiet down, please!

00:15:50Lockhart High School

00:15:51has always enforced

00:15:51a zero-tolerance policy on bullying.

00:15:53The allegations against

00:15:54Cheer Captain Ivy Lockhart

00:15:56will be fully investigated.

00:15:57For transparency,

00:15:59the hearing will now proceed

00:16:00as an open inquiry.

00:16:04And we're live.

00:16:05Poppy, can you describe

00:16:06what happened yesterday?

00:16:07I'm sorry, Ivy.

00:16:08But I can't stay quiet anymore.

00:16:11Ivy hates me.

00:16:12She kicked me off the squad

00:16:14for no reason.

00:16:15Then attacked me.

00:16:16You're the one who grabbed me?

00:16:19And those injuries?

00:16:20I'll bet it was from

00:16:21that two-faced dad of yours.

00:16:24No, please!

00:16:25Don't get angry!

00:16:26Please don't hit me again!

00:16:29Ivy!

00:16:29Stop spreading lies!

00:16:31Her father would never

00:16:32do that to her!

00:16:33I met him the other night.

00:16:34He's a sweet guy.

00:16:35Her family adores her!

00:16:38What the hell?

00:16:39Poppy, this is serious.

00:16:41You shouldn't have said anything.

00:16:42Ivy said I was

00:16:43stealing her spotlight.

00:16:45We're seeing what appears

00:16:46to be clear evidence

00:16:47of physical assault!

00:16:48It's worse than we imagined!

00:16:50I spelled her!

00:16:51I spelled her!

00:16:52You bitch.

00:16:54Poppy's life is hard enough!

00:16:57She works three jobs

00:16:59just to support her family

00:17:01and you're picking on

00:17:02a poor girl like her?

00:17:04You make me sick!

00:17:06Let me say it again.

00:17:08I did not bully Poppy.

00:17:10Enjoy the sympathy

00:17:11while it lasts

00:17:12because the higher

00:17:13they lift you up,

00:17:13the harder they'll tear you apart

00:17:15when the truth comes out.

00:17:23Found it!

00:17:24Hold on, Ivies!

00:17:25I'm coming!

00:17:26Principal Johnson,

00:17:27you have to expel her!

00:17:30Ivy, are you still denying it?

00:17:32Expel her!

00:17:33She's a bully!

00:17:36I told you,

00:17:37I never hit her!

00:17:39You're finished, Ivy.

00:17:41You're getting expelled

00:17:42and I'll have Dad report you.

00:17:44Let's see how tough

00:17:45you are in juvie.

00:17:49Yes, I understand.

00:17:51We're taking care of it.

00:17:52Please calm down.

00:17:54What?

00:17:55Withdraw funding?

00:17:56Please!

00:17:57Ivy Lockwood!

00:17:58Our school is being torn apart

00:17:59because of you!

00:18:00Effective immediately,

00:18:01you're expelled for...

00:18:08That's Vincent Lockheard!

00:18:09Is he here to set things straight?

00:18:11Ugh, rich kids

00:18:12get away with everything.

00:18:13Stupid neffy baby.

00:18:15Dad!

00:18:25A bully doesn't get to call me Dad!

00:18:28The Lockwoods stand for integrity.

00:18:31You are a disgrace.

00:18:34There it is.

00:18:35I knew he'd put his reputation first.

00:18:38Keep it up, Vincent.

00:18:39Show them exactly

00:18:40who the Lockwoods really are.

00:18:42No, Dad.

00:18:44Please listen to me.

00:18:45Poppy set me up.

00:18:47Silence!

00:18:47Still shifting the blame?

00:18:49The last thing our family needs

00:18:50is an orphan brat

00:18:51stirring up bad PR.

00:18:57Ladies and gentlemen,

00:18:58I apologize for the damage

00:19:00my adopted daughter has done.

00:19:02I can't express

00:19:03how deeply ashamed

00:19:05and disappointed I am.

00:19:06The Lockwood family

00:19:08does not tolerate bullying.

00:19:09Anyone who crosses the line

00:19:11will face consequences.

00:19:12Even my adoptive daughter.

00:19:14Mr. Johnson,

00:19:15I'll trust the board

00:19:16to make the right decision.

00:19:18Wow, what a stand-up guy.

00:19:20Quick, get a close-up on Lockhart!

00:19:21He's tomorrow's front-page hero!

00:19:27You really thought

00:19:28Dad would save you?

00:19:30He just wanted everyone to know

00:19:33you're not blood.

00:19:36Ivy's a total fraud!

00:19:38She's not even a real Lockhart!

00:19:40She's adopted?

00:19:41That's probably why

00:19:42she's so fucked up.

00:19:48Yes, I made a mistake.

00:19:50And that mistake

00:19:51was forgetting

00:19:52what you taught me, Dad.

00:19:53Never get close

00:19:54to poor people.

00:19:55They're all liars

00:19:56and cheaters.

00:19:57Nothing but trouble.

00:19:58Right, Dad?

00:20:00Watch your mouth!

00:20:01Our family has always

00:20:02sympathized with hard-working

00:20:04blue-collar folks.

00:20:05If you don't get that...

00:20:06Then you don't deserve

00:20:07to be a Lockhart!

00:20:09Ivy, you and Poppy

00:20:11came from the same orphanage.

00:20:12Just because you were lucky enough

00:20:13to be adopted by us

00:20:15doesn't mean you get

00:20:16to hold it over her head.

00:20:17Oh my God,

00:20:18they're from the same orphanage?

00:20:20One's an angel

00:20:21while the other's not.

00:20:22Yeah, we came from

00:20:23the same orphanage.

00:20:24But that's exactly

00:20:25why Poppy's doing this.

00:20:27She's jealous.

00:20:28Ivy,

00:20:29how could you say

00:20:30that about me?

00:20:31I was so happy for you

00:20:32when the Lockhutes

00:20:33adopted you.

00:20:34I wanted us to stay

00:20:35like sisters,

00:20:36support each other,

00:20:38but you made it impossible.

00:20:42Jesus, Ivy,

00:20:43look at what you've done

00:20:43to her!

00:20:44Face it.

00:20:45Everyone can back Poppy,

00:20:46but you?

00:20:47Anyone want to vouch

00:20:48for Ivy?

00:20:50Miss Lockwood,

00:20:51no one's speaking up.

00:20:52Do you have anything

00:20:53to say for yourself?

00:20:54Enough, Ivy!

00:20:56Starting now,

00:20:57I am officially

00:20:58disowning Ivy!

00:20:59I'll vouch for Ivy.

00:21:15This is what I was wearing

00:21:16when they brought me here.

00:21:18So this is what I'm wearing

00:21:20to leave them for good.

00:21:24Who is that girl?

00:21:25Why is she wearing

00:21:26a dirty school uniform?

00:21:29Three years ago,

00:21:31my family had me

00:21:32dragged away

00:21:32like a criminal junkie

00:21:34in front of all

00:21:34the elites of New York.

00:21:37And now,

00:21:38their idea of a warm welcome

00:21:39is to air out

00:21:40all my dirty laundry

00:21:41for all their party guests

00:21:42to see.

00:21:44Because who cares

00:21:45about preserving

00:21:45my privacy

00:21:46or my dignity?

00:21:50What are you wearing?

00:21:51I thought I told you

00:21:52to put on something nice.

00:21:53You've been giving me

00:21:54attitude ever since

00:21:54I picked you up.

00:21:55Now you're trying

00:21:56to throw yourself

00:21:56a pity party

00:21:57by wearing those rags

00:21:58and making us look bad?

00:22:00Heck,

00:22:00it looks like

00:22:01we've been mistreating you.

00:22:08Elena, darling,

00:22:09your family entrusted you

00:22:11to us so we could

00:22:11show you the Lord's

00:22:12compassion

00:22:13and guide a sinner

00:22:14like you back

00:22:14into his fold.

00:22:16They're here now

00:22:17to take you home.

00:22:18I trust you'll stay quiet

00:22:19about what happened here.

00:22:21The Lord sees

00:22:22and hears everything.

00:22:35Three years at a convent

00:22:36and you still haven't

00:22:37fixed that attitude.

00:22:39Come on,

00:22:40let's go.

00:22:40We're going home.

00:22:44What happened?

00:22:46She used to be my shadow.

00:22:53Mark,

00:22:54you're back.

00:22:55How was work?

00:22:56Mom said you've been swamped.

00:22:57Here,

00:22:58let me help.

00:23:03You mad at me

00:23:04or something?

00:23:04I skipped an international

00:23:05conference to come

00:23:06pick you up in person.

00:23:07Come on,

00:23:08Mom and Dad are waiting.

00:23:10They put together this whole thing

00:23:11to welcome you home.

00:23:12Mom and Dad are dead to me.

00:23:14What are you talking about?

00:23:15You're my sister.

00:23:16You're a Blair.

00:23:17No.

00:23:18You guys only ever cared

00:23:19about Victoria,

00:23:20the girl you adopted

00:23:21to replace me.

00:23:22I'm just some stupid girl

00:23:24from the orphanage

00:23:25that no one wanted.

00:23:28Are you done?

00:23:30Okay,

00:23:30cut it out.

00:23:31Quit whining.

00:23:32Three years ago,

00:23:33you laced Grace Klein's

00:23:34drink at the pool party.

00:23:35You made her OD on Oxy

00:23:36and she's still in a coma.

00:23:37We did everything we could

00:23:38to keep you out of jail.

00:23:39You had it easy.

00:23:40Do you understand?

00:23:41Fuck,

00:23:42I thought the nuns

00:23:42would have shaped you up.

00:23:43You think this is over

00:23:44just because you got out?

00:23:45Every day Grace spends

00:23:46at the hospital

00:23:47is another day

00:23:47where you should be

00:23:47atoning for your sins.

00:23:51Grace?

00:23:53Grace?

00:23:54Grace?

00:24:06You skank!

00:24:08You put Oxycontin

00:24:08in Grace's drink?

00:24:09How much did you give her?

00:24:10Are you trying to kill her?

00:24:12It wasn't me, Dad.

00:24:14It was Victoria.

00:24:15Shut up, you liar.

00:24:17I wish you were never born.

00:24:23I should have realized

00:24:24my parents never loved me.

00:24:26I should have never

00:24:27left that orphanage.

00:24:29Time to go home, Elena.

00:24:31Don't make me say it again.

00:24:32I'm never going back there.

00:24:34Have a good life, Mr. Blavin.

00:24:36I hope we never see each other again.

00:24:43I hope we never see each other again.

00:24:47Elena!

00:24:48Sorry I'm late.

00:24:53Happy release day, Elena.

00:24:55Eric Gills.

00:24:56He grew up in the same orphanage I did

00:24:57and he was my best friend

00:24:58and the person I trusted the most in the world.

00:25:01Oh, Miss Elena!

00:25:02I promise I'll get into the same school you do

00:25:05so I can always protect you

00:25:07as your knight in shining armor.

00:25:10But he stabbed me in the back

00:25:11when I needed him most.

00:25:12He put me in hell with his own two hands.

00:25:23Eric!

00:25:27Eric, please!

00:25:28You saw Victoria lacing Grace's drink!

00:25:30Please just tell them the truth!

00:25:33I can't, Elena.

00:25:35Victoria grew up in wealth.

00:25:37She wouldn't last a day at the reform school.

00:25:39Just go in her place, alright?

00:25:48Eric ruined my life

00:25:49so he could get with Victoria.

00:25:50With her influence,

00:25:51he got scouted by a Big Ten school

00:25:53and now he's the next best thing in football.

00:25:55Look,

00:25:55I even got flowers for you.

00:26:00No thanks, Giles.

00:26:04If there's one thing I learned at reform school,

00:26:10now bark like a dog

00:26:12or we'll cane you.

00:26:23It's that you have to make yourself

00:26:24as small of a target as possible.

00:26:26That's the only way to survive

00:26:28when you have no one in your corner.

00:26:30The Blairs hate me,

00:26:31but at least they say it to my face.

00:26:33I'd rather know what I'm getting into

00:26:35than to have Eric pull the rug

00:26:36from out under me again.

00:26:46I changed my mind.

00:26:47Let's go.

00:26:49Elena!

00:26:59Mom and Dad have been worried sick over you

00:27:01the past three years.

00:27:02Be nice when you get back, okay?

00:27:06I want you to watch your temper

00:27:08and stop bullying Victoria.

00:27:11Don't make our life harder than it already is.

00:27:13Keep your head down

00:27:14and we won't treat you any different.

00:27:19Elena, are you even listening?

00:27:20I'm talking to you.

00:27:21I spent three years

00:27:22at that fucking reform school

00:27:23and they didn't come visit me on once.

00:27:26Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, nothing.

00:27:28It's only 30 miles out.

00:27:29They couldn't take two hours out of their day

00:27:31to see their own daughter?

00:27:32You still think they give a shit about me?

00:27:33It's because you keep acting like a child.

00:27:35They decided not to visit

00:27:37so you can have a chance to heal,

00:27:39to become a better person.

00:27:41Everything they did

00:27:42was for your own good, Elena.

00:28:02Hurry up and change into something presentable.

00:28:04I'll see you at the banquet hall.

00:28:08Oh, that's for Victoria.

00:28:21Home, sweet home.

00:28:25This is where the Blairs had me live for threes

00:28:28before they sent me to the convent.

00:28:33Change into something presentable.

00:28:36As if I have anything nice to wear.

00:28:38Even the clothes I'm wearing

00:28:40I bought with my own money.

00:28:42Mom!

00:28:43Dad!

00:28:43Look what I bought!

00:28:45Elena!

00:28:46What on earth are you wearing?

00:28:48You're a blade now!

00:28:49You can't go out looking like this!

00:28:50Learn how to dress yourself properly,

00:28:52like Victoria.

00:28:53Now take that off and throw it out!

00:28:57I might be their bio daughter,

00:28:59but they never cared about me.

00:29:01They only ever cared about Victoria.

00:29:03Even though she's adopted,

00:29:05she's their real pride and joy.

00:29:06I'm just some shameful secret

00:29:08they managed to snatch back from the orphanage.

00:29:11They even made me the scapegoat

00:29:12for Victoria's crimes!

00:29:14I wish you were never born!

00:29:16It wasn't me, Dad!

00:29:18It was Victoria!

00:29:20They sent me to that hellhole

00:29:22of a reform school

00:29:23to be tortured

00:29:23for the last three years.

00:29:27This is what I was wearing

00:29:28when they brought me here.

00:29:30So this is what I'm wearing

00:29:32to leave them for good.

00:29:36Congratulations.

00:29:37It's a big day for the Blairs.

00:29:39Ain't that the truth?

00:29:45Well, where's our special girl?

00:29:47She'll be out in just a minute.

00:29:52Who is that girl?

00:29:53Why is she wearing

00:29:54a dirty school uniform?

00:29:57Three years ago,

00:29:58my family had me dragged away

00:30:00like a criminal junkie

00:30:01in front of all the elites of New York.

00:30:05And now,

00:30:06their idea of a warm welcome

00:30:07is to air out all my dirty laundry

00:30:09for all their party guests to see.

00:30:12Because who cares about

00:30:13preserving my privacy or my dignity?

00:30:17What are you wearing?

00:30:18I thought I told you

00:30:19to put on something nice.

00:30:21You've been giving me attitude

00:30:22ever since I picked you up.

00:30:23Now you're trying to throw yourself

00:30:24a pity party by wearing those rags

00:30:26and making us look bad?

00:30:27Heck,

00:30:28it looks like we've been mistreating you.

00:30:31Elena Blather,

00:30:32you haven't changed at all.

00:30:34You're still a petty,

00:30:35stuck-up,

00:30:36impulsive child.

00:30:37You're not coming back

00:30:38until you change.

00:30:39Come on,

00:30:39stop being such an embarrassment.

00:30:42You damn run away!

00:30:44I don't have a dress.

00:30:46Then why didn't you buy one?

00:30:47Because I don't have any money!

00:30:49Elena,

00:30:50when you were at home,

00:30:51we wired you 10K a month

00:30:53for three whole years.

00:30:54That's $360,000.

00:30:56Was that really not enough

00:30:57for a dress

00:30:58and some decent-looking clothes?

00:30:59You're dressing like a ho-o

00:31:00to make us look like

00:31:01we're abusing you?

00:31:02Look,

00:31:03enough's enough.

00:31:05We've more than made it up to you.

00:31:06Don't bite the hand that feeds.

00:31:0710K?

00:31:08I never even got as much

00:31:09as $10 from you.

00:31:10If you're gonna yell at me

00:31:11for something I didn't do,

00:31:12at least come up

00:31:13with something believable.

00:31:14That's it.

00:31:14If you won't stop making shit up,

00:31:16don't blame me for exposing you.

00:31:20Eva,

00:31:21I want you to check

00:31:22just exactly how much money

00:31:23we've sent to Elena

00:31:24over the years.

00:31:25Elena?

00:31:25Blabel?

00:31:26Yes.

00:31:27If it's Elena,

00:31:28there's no point in checking.

00:31:29What do you mean?

00:31:30Mr. Blave,

00:31:32the estate's never given

00:31:33Elena anything.

00:31:34What did you say?

00:31:36Wait, what?

00:31:37But I specifically

00:31:38told them to-

00:31:38Mrs. Blainer

00:31:39canceled the payments.

00:31:41She was scared

00:31:42Elena might have

00:31:42picked up nasty habits

00:31:44growing up in an orphanage

00:31:45with God knows who.

00:31:47She didn't trust Elena

00:31:48with 10K a month,

00:31:49so she canceled

00:31:51her allowance.

00:31:52The extra money

00:31:53went to Victoria.

00:31:55Mrs. Blainer

00:31:55was worried Victoria

00:31:56would feel left out

00:31:57after Elena came back,

00:31:59so her allowance

00:32:00was up to 20K a month

00:32:01to compensate.

00:32:03Mr. Blainer,

00:32:05please tell me

00:32:06you knew about this.

00:32:07Really?

00:32:09You're a billionaire

00:32:10and your daughter

00:32:11doesn't get any

00:32:12spending money?

00:32:14Fine.

00:32:15Maybe you didn't get

00:32:16anything from the estate,

00:32:18but Mom and Dad

00:32:19would have given you

00:32:19something!

00:32:21The Blairs never gave me

00:32:23a single cent.

00:32:25Go ahead and ask them

00:32:26if you don't believe me.

00:32:28They're your parents.

00:32:29Surely you'll trust

00:32:30their word over mine.

00:32:33Mom?

00:32:34Dad?

00:32:35How much

00:32:36were you giving her?

00:32:37Well,

00:32:38I thought she was

00:32:39getting money from you,

00:32:42so I never...

00:32:43Me too!

00:32:44I thought the estate...

00:32:48Elena,

00:32:49why didn't you say anything?

00:32:50You should have told us

00:32:52you didn't get any money.

00:32:53Mommy would have given you

00:32:54anything if you just asked.

00:32:55Yeah!

00:32:56It's all my fault.

00:32:57I couldn't even tell

00:32:58you were struggling.

00:32:59But Elena,

00:33:00Mommy loves you

00:33:01just as much

00:33:02as she loves Victoria,

00:33:03okay?

00:33:04You're my mom,

00:33:05but you still gave away

00:33:06what was supposed

00:33:07to be mine

00:33:08to Victoria!

00:33:09You gave your adoptive

00:33:11daughter $20,000

00:33:12all because you felt

00:33:13mad for her?

00:33:14Are you that scared

00:33:15of hurting her

00:33:16precious feelings?

00:33:17No, honey, I...

00:33:19You have a mouth

00:33:19and a brain.

00:33:21You could have just asked.

00:33:23Mom's right.

00:33:24You should have said

00:33:25something.

00:33:25We have billions.

00:33:27They're not so heartless

00:33:28they wouldn't give you

00:33:29a bit of cash

00:33:30if you needed it.

00:33:31I did tell you!

00:33:32But you didn't care

00:33:33enough to listen!

00:33:39Mom, Dad,

00:33:41can I have $300?

00:33:45It's for school.

00:33:46Money.

00:33:47It's always money

00:33:48with you.

00:33:49You wouldn't even

00:33:50have come home

00:33:51if we were poor,

00:33:51would you?

00:33:52Seriously.

00:33:53Sometimes I wonder

00:33:53why Mom and Dad

00:33:54even brought you back.

00:33:56Look at Victoria.

00:33:57She never asks us

00:33:58for money.

00:33:59And she just took

00:33:59the AMCs

00:34:00and placed 10th

00:34:01in the state.

00:34:02Why can't you

00:34:02be like her?

00:34:03Yeah, sure you did.

00:34:05What I really did

00:34:06I got first.

00:34:07Mark,

00:34:07you promised

00:34:09you'd get me

00:34:09something if I made

00:34:10it to the AMC.

00:34:12Well,

00:34:13what do you want?

00:34:14Um,

00:34:14there's this bag

00:34:15I've been looking at

00:34:16but it's $10,000.

00:34:18What if you got it

00:34:19for me

00:34:19as a treat?

00:34:21All right,

00:34:22I'll get it for you

00:34:23as long as it makes

00:34:24my baby sister happy.

00:34:26It could be $100,000

00:34:26for all I care.

00:34:28What are you still

00:34:29standing around for?

00:34:30Go to your room

00:34:30and think about

00:34:31what you did.

00:34:31You'll never be

00:34:32like Victoria.

00:34:35That girl's

00:34:36out of control.

00:34:36If only she had

00:34:38half the manners

00:34:39Victoria did.

00:34:44Yeah.

00:34:46Remember that?

00:34:49That's because

00:34:50you never

00:34:51did anything

00:34:52we could be

00:34:53proud of you for.

00:34:54And you're

00:34:55still a liar.

00:34:56I never lied

00:34:58about anything.

00:34:59I got first place

00:35:00in the AMCs.

00:35:01You just didn't

00:35:02want to believe me.

00:35:06whatever.

00:35:09You didn't even

00:35:10know what school

00:35:10I went to.

00:35:11Why would you

00:35:11care if I won

00:35:12a math competition?

00:35:18Wait.

00:35:19Were you not

00:35:20at St. Augustine's

00:35:21with Victoria?

00:35:25Dad,

00:35:26I thought she

00:35:27went to St. Augustine's.

00:35:29Elena,

00:35:30what high school

00:35:31did you go to?

00:35:35I got first

00:35:36at the AMCs,

00:35:37so I got a full

00:35:38ride into

00:35:38Oak Ridge Valley

00:35:39Academy.

00:35:40Oak Ridge Valley?

00:35:41That's the best

00:35:42high school

00:35:42on the East Coast.

00:35:43They produce

00:35:44some of the

00:35:44top minds

00:35:44in our nation.

00:35:45Not like St. Augustine's

00:35:47where just having

00:35:47cash gets you

00:35:48through the door.

00:35:49Every kid that

00:35:49goes to Oak Ridge Valley

00:35:50is handpicked

00:35:51through a rigorous

00:35:51interview process.

00:35:52For Elena to get

00:35:53a full run scholarship,

00:35:55she has to be

00:35:56a generational talent.

00:35:57No, no way.

00:35:59Oak Ridge Valley

00:35:59is 20 miles away.

00:36:00There's no way

00:36:01you made it to school

00:36:02every day

00:36:02riding on that

00:36:03crappy bike.

00:36:04Yeah.

00:36:05Me and Victoria

00:36:06were never

00:36:06at the same school.

00:36:08Ever wondered

00:36:08why I never

00:36:09ate breakfast

00:36:09with you guys?

00:36:10It's because

00:36:11I had to wake up

00:36:11at 5 every day

00:36:12so I can get

00:36:13to school by 7.

00:36:14And I never

00:36:15got any lunch money.

00:36:16So I had to make

00:36:17do with expired

00:36:18moldy bread.

00:36:20And then when

00:36:20I got home,

00:36:21you'd be done

00:36:21with dinner already.

00:36:23All I ever had

00:36:24was cold leftovers.

00:36:25And you would

00:36:26still call me

00:36:26a dirty hobo

00:36:27digging through

00:36:28the trash,

00:36:28scarfing down

00:36:29the food

00:36:29because I was

00:36:30so hungry

00:36:30by that point

00:36:31I didn't even

00:36:31care anymore.

00:36:34Oh, Elena,

00:36:34I'm so sorry

00:36:35you had to live

00:36:36like that.

00:36:36I just never

00:36:37realized you

00:36:38were suffering.

00:36:39Save it.

00:36:40Look, you weren't

00:36:41around to see me

00:36:42grow up.

00:36:42It makes sense

00:36:43you wouldn't

00:36:43care about me

00:36:43at all.

00:36:45Whatever.

00:36:46I'm used to it.

00:36:48Can't break a kid

00:36:49who grew up

00:36:49in the system,

00:36:50right,

00:36:50Mrs. Blair?

00:36:53Mom,

00:36:55Just watch

00:36:55the security footage.

00:36:56I didn't do it.

00:36:57Victoria's the one

00:36:58that lays Grace's drink.

00:37:14Mom,

00:37:15did you just delete

00:37:16the security tape?

00:37:17Why would you

00:37:18do that?

00:37:20Are you seriously

00:37:21protecting Victoria

00:37:22over me right now?

00:37:24I'm your bio daughter!

00:37:26Elena,

00:37:27I'm so sorry,

00:37:28but I can't let

00:37:29them take Victoria.

00:37:30She's not cut out

00:37:31for that.

00:37:32But you grew up

00:37:33in the system

00:37:33and you were fine.

00:37:35I know you won't

00:37:35break at the reform

00:37:36school either,

00:37:36so just go with the nuns

00:37:37and take Victoria's place,

00:37:38okay, honey?

00:37:42Shut up!

00:37:46Shut up!

00:37:47What are you even

00:37:47saying, Elena?

00:37:49Oh, right.

00:37:50They never told you.

00:37:52The security camera

00:37:53caught everything!

00:37:55Victoria was the one

00:37:56that laced Grace's drink!

00:37:57But our poor,

00:37:58pathetic excuse

00:37:59of a mother

00:38:00decided to wipe the tapes

00:38:01to protect Victoria

00:38:02over me,

00:38:03even though I'm

00:38:04her bio daughter.

00:38:05She made me look

00:38:06like a guilty criminal

00:38:07in front of everyone!

00:38:09What?

00:38:15Stop lying.

00:38:16I know you're upset

00:38:17at us for ignoring you,

00:38:18but if you had

00:38:19a problem with us,

00:38:19it's your responsibility

00:38:20to say something.

00:38:23You're just jealous

00:38:23that Victoria had

00:38:24a better life

00:38:25than you did.

00:38:26That's why you've

00:38:26been bullying her

00:38:27and trying to pin

00:38:28all the blame on her.

00:38:29Did you stop

00:38:29and think for one second

00:38:31what's the right thing

00:38:31to do?

00:38:32No!

00:38:32You just kept on

00:38:33taking it out on us!

00:38:34You're the worst person

00:38:35I've ever met.

00:38:36Mark, don't say that

00:38:37about your sister.

00:38:38Mom, stop cuddling her.

00:38:40She needs to grow up.

00:38:41The only reason

00:38:42she's like this

00:38:42is because we kept

00:38:43caving into her tantrums.

00:38:44We tried so hard

00:38:45to get her into

00:38:46a reform school

00:38:47instead of prison

00:38:47and how does she

00:38:48repays us?

00:38:49She comes back

00:38:49and ruins our party

00:38:51and makes it look

00:38:51like we're the bad guys!

00:38:54All right, stop it!

00:38:55Both of you!

00:38:56Elena,

00:38:57you should have told us

00:38:58you'd already gone home.

00:38:59Mommy and I

00:39:00would have gone out

00:39:01and got you a nice dress

00:39:02or something.

00:39:02Wait,

00:39:03you didn't know

00:39:04I had already gone home?

00:39:07Of course not, honey.

00:39:08I would have had

00:39:09the chauffeurs

00:39:09pick you up.

00:39:10Wait,

00:39:11how did you even get here?

00:39:13Mark picked me up.

00:39:15He said this was

00:39:16a welcome home party.

00:39:19Wait,

00:39:20I thought this was

00:39:20a birthday party

00:39:21for Victoria.

00:39:23That's what it said

00:39:24on the RSVP,

00:39:25Victoria Blair's

00:39:2618th birthday.

00:39:27Since when was this

00:39:28for Elena?

00:39:29If it's Elena,

00:39:30then I'm leaving!

00:39:31She tried to kill

00:39:32the Klein kid

00:39:33three years ago.

00:39:34Poor girl's

00:39:34still in a coma.

00:39:35I don't want anything

00:39:36to do with that

00:39:37homicidal maniac!

00:39:39Ever since I started

00:39:40living with the Blairs,

00:39:41it's been one

00:39:42disappointment after another.

00:39:44No, Elena, please!

00:39:45You can't just

00:39:46abandon us!

00:39:56Victoria!

00:39:57Oh my god,

00:39:58Victoria!

00:40:02Victoria,

00:40:03are you okay?

00:40:04It's so bad,

00:40:05Mom, ow.

00:40:06Oh, do you have

00:40:06a boo-boo?

00:40:07Let me see.

00:40:12Did Elena push you?

00:40:13I bet she shrubbed you!

00:40:16No, I'm okay.

00:40:18Are you fucking blind?

00:40:19Really?

00:40:20You're just gonna start

00:40:21running your mouth

00:40:22over nothing?

00:40:23She bumped into me

00:40:25on purpose.

00:40:26If anyone's blind,

00:40:28it's you!

00:40:28You!

00:40:30You!

00:40:42You want to know the truth?

00:40:45Ask literally anyone else!

00:40:50They all saw her bump into me!

00:40:53Yeah, uh, Mark,

00:40:56Victoria's shoulder

00:40:56checked her.

00:40:57Pretty obvious.

00:40:58It was pretty obvious.

00:41:00Fine.

00:41:01Even if Victoria

00:41:02bumped into you,

00:41:03it was probably an accident!

00:41:04Why didn't you move?

00:41:05You didn't have to come

00:41:06crashing down!

00:41:07You did that on purpose!

00:41:09You think I'm faking it?

00:41:14You think I wanted

00:41:15to injure my arm?

00:41:16All for you to yell at me

00:41:18and call me a liar?

00:41:19Do you think I have

00:41:20that little self-respect?

00:41:22Elena, does it...

00:41:23does it hurt?

00:41:24Oh, gosh.

00:41:26I'm so sorry, Elena.

00:41:27I was just having

00:41:29a really bad day

00:41:30because someone ruined

00:41:32the special evening gown

00:41:33Mark got me.

00:41:34But I still shouldn't have

00:41:36bumped into you

00:41:37on accident like that.

00:41:40So you would admit

00:41:41that it actually

00:41:41wasn't my fault?

00:41:42You admit

00:41:43that you've been lying

00:41:45this whole time?

00:41:47What?

00:41:48No!

00:41:49That's not what I meant

00:41:50at all!

00:41:51Oh, my God,

00:41:52do you really think

00:41:52I'm that kind of person?

00:41:55Victoria didn't mean it,

00:41:56alright?

00:41:58She's always been

00:41:58such a sweet girl.

00:41:59She'd never hurt

00:42:00anyone on purpose.

00:42:02Here,

00:42:02why don't you

00:42:03say you're sorry

00:42:04and tell her

00:42:04happy birthday

00:42:05so we can all

00:42:06put this behind us?

00:42:07Listen to your

00:42:08mother, Elena.

00:42:13You know,

00:42:14this isn't the first time

00:42:15Victoria's tried

00:42:16to frame me

00:42:16for something.

00:42:17Although I'm sure

00:42:18you're well aware

00:42:19of that,

00:42:19Mrs. Blaine.

00:42:22Well, I...

00:42:29You still owe us

00:42:30an explanation.

00:42:32For fucking what?

00:42:36Oh, I see

00:42:37what this is.

00:42:39You want me

00:42:40to apologize

00:42:41for ruining

00:42:42Victoria's dress?

00:42:43You were the only

00:42:44other person

00:42:44in my car.

00:42:45You were the only

00:42:46one who could have

00:42:47touched that dress.

00:42:49Elena!

00:42:50I can't believe

00:42:51you sabotaged me

00:42:52at my own

00:42:52birthday party!

00:42:55Why are you

00:42:55such a bully?

00:42:57I know you're

00:42:57upset, Elena,

00:42:58but you can't

00:42:59just destroy

00:42:59your sister's

00:43:00things!

00:43:01I'll let it

00:43:01slide this time,

00:43:02but there better

00:43:03not be a next time.

00:43:05Really, guys?

00:43:06Look,

00:43:06Mark has a dashcam.

00:43:08Check for yourself

00:43:08and you'll see

00:43:09I didn't touch

00:43:09a thing.

00:43:15Mark,

00:43:15pull the footage

00:43:16up on your phone

00:43:17right now.

00:43:18I'm done

00:43:19taking the fall

00:43:20for Victoria.

00:43:21Oh, actually,

00:43:23don't bother.

00:43:24We wouldn't want

00:43:25Elena to look bad

00:43:26in front of everyone,

00:43:27right?

00:43:28Elena, just let it go.

00:43:30Enough!

00:43:30We're done

00:43:31discussing this!

00:43:32Elena, you've made

00:43:33enough of a scene

00:43:34as it is.

00:43:34Now go clean up

00:43:35your arm.

00:43:36No.

00:43:37You just want me

00:43:38to leave so you

00:43:39can keep pretending

00:43:40she's your perfect

00:43:40little princess.

00:43:42I have no problem

00:43:43checking the dashcam

00:43:44footage.

00:43:48It's only you guys

00:43:49who are afraid

00:43:50to watch it.

00:43:51What are you

00:43:51so scared of?

00:43:53Fine.

00:43:54I'll answer

00:43:55that question

00:43:55for you.

00:43:57It's because

00:43:58you know

00:43:59I didn't do

00:43:59anything to the dress.

00:44:03It was sitting

00:44:04untouched

00:44:04in the box

00:44:05when Mark

00:44:05brought it

00:44:06into the house.

00:44:12And then

00:44:13after that,

00:44:13it just magically

00:44:14gets ripped

00:44:15as soon as

00:44:15it's passed

00:44:16to Victoria.

00:44:18I think

00:44:18you all catch

00:44:19my drift

00:44:19here.

00:44:21The only problem

00:44:22is you're scared

00:44:24to check the tapes

00:44:26because you know

00:44:27full well

00:44:27Victoria ripped

00:44:28her own dress.

00:44:29You just want me

00:44:30to be her scapegoat

00:44:32again.

00:44:34Isn't that right,

00:44:35Victoria?

00:44:37Elena, please.

00:44:38I would never

00:44:39do such a thing.

00:44:42You and Victoria,

00:44:44you're my two

00:44:45beloved daughters.

00:44:47I can't bear

00:44:49to see either

00:44:49of you

00:44:50have to suffer.

00:44:51God,

00:44:51just stop

00:44:52already.

00:44:53I might have

00:44:54bought that

00:44:55pathetic excuse

00:44:56if this was

00:44:57three years ago,

00:44:58but after what

00:44:58you put me through

00:44:59at the reform school,

00:45:01hearing you lie

00:45:02to my face

00:45:02like that

00:45:03makes me sick.

00:45:07All right,

00:45:08I'll give you

00:45:08what you want.

00:45:10As of tonight,

00:45:12I'm giving up

00:45:12the Blair name.

00:45:14I relinquish

00:45:15all rights

00:45:15that come along

00:45:16with my heritage.

00:45:17I'm done

00:45:18playing these

00:45:18stupid games.

00:45:19I'm done

00:45:20being part

00:45:20of your family.

00:45:29No.

00:45:30Have I been wrong

00:45:32about her

00:45:33all along?

00:45:35Sister,

00:45:36I'm sorry.

00:45:37My stress disorder

00:45:38flared up yesterday.

00:45:39I couldn't go

00:45:40pick you up.

00:45:41You're not angry,

00:45:41are you?

00:45:42Before I could

00:45:43open my mouth,

00:45:44Kaylin answered

00:45:45for me.

00:45:46Lyra isn't

00:45:47that petty.

00:45:48She won't hold

00:45:49it against you.

00:45:51Selena took

00:45:51that as permission.

00:45:53Boldly,

00:45:53she looped

00:45:54her arm throughs

00:45:55and looked

00:45:55straight at me.

00:45:56Sister,

00:45:57give me a gift

00:45:58too.

00:45:59I want

00:46:00Kaylin as my mate.

00:46:02Mate stealing

00:46:03was taboo

00:46:04among the wolves.

00:46:05Yet she declared

00:46:06it openly

00:46:06and not a single

00:46:07wolf in the room

00:46:08spoke a word

00:46:09against it.

00:46:10Rage boiled

00:46:11in my blood.

00:46:12I clenched

00:46:13my fists.

00:46:14And if I refuse?

00:46:21Nia!

00:46:23My father's eyes

00:46:24blazed with a

00:46:25terrifying golden

00:46:26light as he

00:46:27barked the command.

00:46:29The Alpha Command

00:46:30crushed down

00:46:31on my knees,

00:46:32driving me hard

00:46:33into the mud.

00:46:34My mother

00:46:35gazed down at me.

00:46:36Selena is an Omega.

00:46:38If her wolf

00:46:39enters Silvermoon

00:46:40prison,

00:46:40the Silver will

00:46:41torture her to death.

00:46:43Lyra,

00:46:44you're the older

00:46:45sister.

00:46:46You go.

00:46:48My adopted

00:46:49younger sister,

00:46:50an Omega,

00:46:50drove drunk

00:46:51and killed

00:46:51a human.

00:46:53Yet my parents

00:46:54wanted me

00:46:55to take the fall.

00:46:56You killed

00:46:57a human.

00:46:58You must go

00:46:59to prison.

00:47:00my biological

00:47:02father pinned

00:47:03every ounce

00:47:03of guilt

00:47:04onto me.

00:47:06I couldn't

00:47:07hold back

00:47:07the tears.

00:47:08No,

00:47:09I won't.

00:47:10I didn't

00:47:11kill anyone.

00:47:12Why should I

00:47:13go to prison?

00:47:14I'm your real

00:47:15daughter.

00:47:15My father's

00:47:16fury erupted.

00:47:17You don't

00:47:18have a choice!

00:47:24The pure

00:47:25silver shackles

00:47:25locked tight

00:47:26around my wrists.

00:47:27My skin

00:47:28sizzled and

00:47:29burned where

00:47:30the metal

00:47:30touched it,

00:47:31searing pain

00:47:32drilling straight

00:47:33into the bone.

00:47:37Desperately,

00:47:37I looked

00:47:38Kaelin.

00:47:38He was the

00:47:39strongest alpha

00:47:40in the pack,

00:47:41the top-ranked

00:47:42dominant

00:47:43and my

00:47:43fated mate.

00:47:44He only

00:47:45stared down

00:47:46at me

00:47:47with a

00:47:47cold gaze.

00:47:53Lyra,

00:47:53go.

00:47:54When you

00:47:55come out,

00:47:55we'll

00:47:55complete the

00:47:55mate bond.

00:47:57He reached

00:47:57out and

00:47:58stroked my

00:47:58face.

00:47:59These seven

00:48:00years,

00:48:00just bear it.

00:48:03Just this

00:48:03once.

00:48:06I collapsed

00:48:07into despair,

00:48:08screaming,

00:48:17seven years

00:48:18later.

00:48:19Lyra,

00:48:20now that

00:48:20you're

00:48:20leaving

00:48:20Silvermoon

00:48:21prison,

00:48:22keep your

00:48:22wolf under

00:48:22control.

00:48:23Don't

00:48:24look back.

00:48:28Dragging

00:48:29my ruined

00:48:29leg,

00:48:30I limped

00:48:30out through

00:48:31the iron

00:48:31gate.

00:48:32A car

00:48:33was waiting

00:48:33just beyond

00:48:34the territory

00:48:35boundary.

00:48:36The window

00:48:36rolled down

00:48:37and

00:48:37Caelan's

00:48:38face

00:48:38emerged.

00:48:41Lyra.

00:48:42Seven years

00:48:43and he

00:48:44hadn't

00:48:44changed at

00:48:45all.

00:48:46I dragged

00:48:47my crippled

00:48:47leg into

00:48:48the car.

00:48:50In the

00:48:51rearview mirror

00:48:51I saw

00:48:52my face,

00:48:53a map

00:48:54of scars

00:48:54seared

00:48:55into the

00:48:55skin

00:48:55by silver.

00:48:56You've

00:48:57suffered

00:48:57these

00:48:57seven

00:48:58years.

00:48:58I'll

00:48:59keep

00:48:59my

00:48:59promise.

00:49:00At

00:49:00the

00:49:01next

00:49:01I'll

00:49:03formally.

00:49:04You'll

00:49:04become

00:49:05Luna.

00:49:06Caelan

00:49:07reached

00:49:07over and

00:49:08laid his

00:49:08hand over

00:49:09my

00:49:09rough,

00:49:10scarred

00:49:10knuckles.

00:49:11I looked

00:49:12into his

00:49:12gold-green

00:49:13eyes and

00:49:13slowly

00:49:14pulled

00:49:14my

00:49:14hand

00:49:15away.

00:49:17The

00:49:17wolf

00:49:26was.

00:49:30Who

00:49:31my

00:49:32You

00:53:30by

00:53:30one,

00:53:30offering

00:53:31expensive

00:53:31treasures.

00:53:34Kaylin

00:53:34was about

00:53:35to present

00:53:35his gift

00:53:36when he

00:53:36caught sight

00:53:37of me

00:53:37standing

00:53:38in the

00:53:38shadows.

00:53:39Lyra,

00:53:40you're

00:53:40awake.

00:53:41Come,

00:53:42celebrate

00:53:43Selina's

00:53:43birthday

00:53:43with us.

00:53:44Selina

00:53:45turned

00:53:45to me.

00:53:47Sister,

00:53:47I'm

00:53:48sorry.

00:53:48My

00:53:48stress

00:53:49disorder

00:53:49flared up

00:53:50yesterday.

00:53:50I

00:53:51couldn't

00:53:51go pick

00:53:51you up.

00:53:52You're

00:53:52not angry,

00:53:53are you?

00:53:54Before

00:53:54I could

00:53:54open my

00:53:55mouth,

00:53:56Kaylin

00:53:56answered

00:53:56for me.

00:53:58Lyra

00:53:58isn't

00:53:58that

00:53:59petty.

00:53:59She

00:54:00won't

00:54:00hold it

00:54:00against

00:54:01you.

00:54:02Selina

00:54:03took that

00:54:03as

00:54:03permission.

00:54:04Boldly,

00:54:05she looped

00:54:05her arm

00:54:06throughs and

00:54:06looked straight

00:54:07at me.

00:54:08Sister,

00:54:09give me a

00:54:09gift too.

00:54:11I want

00:54:11Kaylin as

00:54:12my mate.

00:54:14Mate

00:54:14stealing was

00:54:15taboo among

00:54:15the wolves,

00:54:16yet she

00:54:17declared it

00:54:17openly,

00:54:18and not a

00:54:19single wolf

00:54:19in the room

00:54:20spoke a word

00:54:20against it.

00:54:22Rage

00:54:22boiled in

00:54:23my blood.

00:54:24I clenched

00:54:24my fists.

00:54:25And if I

00:54:26refuse?

00:54:29Selina's

00:54:30expression

00:54:30stiffened.

00:54:31She switched

00:54:31to the old

00:54:32wolf tongue,

00:54:33reserved for

00:54:34pure-blood

00:54:34aristocrats.

00:54:35I was only

00:54:36joking,

00:54:36I didn't

00:54:37expect my

00:54:37sister's wolf

00:54:38to be so

00:54:38savage.

00:54:39My

00:54:39Luna mother

00:54:40responded in

00:54:41the same old

00:54:41tongue,

00:54:42her tone

00:54:43soothing.

00:54:43Don't be

00:54:44afraid,

00:54:44Selina.

00:54:45Lyra has

00:54:45been wandering

00:54:46outside too

00:54:46long.

00:54:47Her bloodline

00:54:47is degraded.

00:54:48My

00:54:48alpha father

00:54:49released a

00:54:49calming pinewood

00:54:50scent.

00:54:51Blood ties

00:54:51don't matter.

00:54:52Your mother

00:54:52and I only

00:54:53recognize you

00:54:54as our

00:54:54daughter.

00:54:55Right,

00:54:55Selina,

00:54:55you're my

00:54:56only sister.

00:54:57I forced

00:54:57the bitterness

00:54:58down and

00:54:58pretended I

00:54:59couldn't

00:54:59understand a

00:55:00word of

00:55:00the old

00:55:00tongue.

00:55:01I turned

00:55:02to Kaelin.

00:55:02What are

00:55:02they saying?

00:55:04Kaelin's

00:55:04throat bobbed.

00:55:06Selina said

00:55:06it was just

00:55:07a joke.

00:55:08Everyone's

00:55:08telling you

00:55:08not to be

00:55:09so sensitive.

00:55:10The air

00:55:10reeked of

00:55:11lies.

00:55:12They had

00:55:13no idea.

00:55:13I understood

00:55:14every single

00:55:15word.

00:55:16My mother

00:55:17came from

00:55:17a noble

00:55:18pure blood

00:55:18line.

00:55:19My father

00:55:20ruled over

00:55:21this entire

00:55:22territory.

00:55:23From the

00:55:23moment they

00:55:24brought me

00:55:24back from

00:55:25the orphanage,

00:55:26they despised

00:55:27me for

00:55:27carrying too

00:55:28much of

00:55:28the stray's

00:55:28wildness.

00:55:30Every resource,

00:55:31every drop

00:55:32of love,

00:55:32they'd poured

00:55:33it all into

00:55:34its Selina.

00:55:34Ten years

00:55:35ago,

00:55:36Selina

00:55:36awakened a

00:55:37rare healing

00:55:38type omega

00:55:39gift.

00:55:40The entire

00:55:41pack howled

00:55:42at the moon

00:55:43in ecstasy.

00:55:45What they

00:55:45didn't know

00:55:46was that I'd

00:55:46already passed

00:55:47the blood

00:55:47moon trial

00:55:48by then,

00:55:50and had

00:55:50taught myself

00:55:51the most

00:55:51obscure

00:55:52dialect of

00:55:53the old

00:55:53wolf tongue.

00:55:54But none

00:55:55of that

00:55:55mattered

00:55:56anymore.

00:55:57Soon,

00:55:57very soon,

00:55:58I would

00:55:58escape this

00:55:59territory for

00:56:00good.

00:56:00I just got

00:56:01out of

00:56:01Silvermoon

00:56:02Prison.

00:56:02I want to

00:56:03go beyond

00:56:03the territory

00:56:04boundary,

00:56:04get some

00:56:04air.

00:56:05You all

00:56:06carry on.

00:56:06Under their

00:56:07contemptuous

00:56:08stares,

00:56:08I dragged

00:56:09my ruined

00:56:09leg towards

00:56:10the door.

00:56:11Their mockery

00:56:12trailed behind

00:56:13me.

00:56:15Today was

00:56:16my birthday,

00:56:17too.

00:56:19Beyond the

00:56:20territory,

00:56:20I suppressed

00:56:21my wolf's

00:56:21scent signature

00:56:22and took a

00:56:22bus to the

00:56:23lower district

00:56:23of Seattle.

00:56:24Because of

00:56:25my Silvermoon

00:56:26Prison record,

00:56:26the pack had

00:56:27erased all my

00:56:28files.

00:56:29Combined with

00:56:29my crippled

00:56:30leg, the only

00:56:30work I could

00:56:31find was

00:56:31washing dishes

00:56:32in a run-down

00:56:33roadside diner,

00:56:34just enough to

00:56:35survive the

00:56:35next ten days.

00:56:36At half-past

00:56:37eleven at

00:56:37night, I

00:56:38finished scrubbing

00:56:39the last plate.

00:56:40As I stepped

00:56:40out of the

00:56:41diner, a man

00:56:42climbed out

00:56:43of his car

00:56:43and strode

00:56:44toward me.

00:56:47Lyra, why

00:56:48have you been

00:56:49away from the

00:56:49territory so

00:56:50long?

00:56:50He grabbed

00:56:51my wrist and

00:56:51pulled me

00:56:52toward the

00:56:52vehicle.

00:56:53The door

00:56:53opened.

00:56:54On the

00:56:54back seat

00:56:55sat a

00:56:55cake.

00:56:57Lyra, happy

00:56:58birthday.

00:57:00Kalen's pack

00:57:01and mine

00:57:01shared a

00:57:01tight border.

00:57:03He and I,

00:57:04the top-ranked

00:57:05Alpha and I,

00:57:07had been bound

00:57:08by a mate

00:57:08contract since

00:57:09we were pups.

00:57:09I still

00:57:11remembered the

00:57:12first moment I

00:57:13saw him after

00:57:13returning to the

00:57:14territory.

00:57:15He stood in the

00:57:16sunlight, radiating

00:57:18brilliance, in that

00:57:19hostile territory.

00:57:22Kalen was the

00:57:22only one who never

00:57:24scorned my wild

00:57:25scent.

00:57:25He would release his

00:57:27Alpha dominance to

00:57:28shield me.

00:57:29He brought me gifts

00:57:31on holidays.

00:57:32He was the only

00:57:33soul in that entire

00:57:34forest who was good

00:57:35to me.

00:57:36And in the

00:57:37end, he was

00:57:38the one who

00:57:39personally sent me

00:57:40to Silvermoon

00:57:41Prison.

00:57:43Lyra, what's

00:57:44wrong?

00:57:44Did you think I

00:57:45forgot your

00:57:45birthday?

00:57:46Kalen's voice

00:57:46pulled me back.

00:57:47I answered

00:57:48evenly.

00:57:50He produced

00:57:50another box.

00:57:51I lifted the

00:57:52lid.

00:57:53Inside lay a

00:57:54red dress.

00:57:55Remember when

00:57:56you were little?

00:57:57You said you

00:57:58wanted to wear a

00:57:58red dress when we

00:57:59completed the

00:57:59mate bond.

00:58:00I had it made

00:58:01in advance.

00:58:03Do you like

00:58:03it?

00:58:07Alpha, you're

00:58:08remembering wrong.

00:58:09I hate red.

00:58:11When I was lost

00:58:11as a child, I'd

00:58:13been wearing a

00:58:13red dress.

00:58:15Ever since I

00:58:16could form

00:58:16memories, every

00:58:17full moon night

00:58:18I put on red,

00:58:19hoping my pack

00:58:20could track my

00:58:20visual scent and

00:58:21bring me home.

00:58:22Kalen's pupils

00:58:23contracted.

00:58:24He ruffled my

00:58:25hair.

00:58:28I'm sorry.

00:58:29I remembered

00:58:30wrong.

00:58:30Come on, I'll

00:58:31take you to a

00:58:32restaurant to

00:58:32celebrate.

00:58:33On the drive

00:58:34back, Kalen

00:58:35gripped my

00:58:35hand tightly.

00:58:39Lyra, why

00:58:40is your scent

00:58:41so faint?

00:58:42Why are you

00:58:43thinner than

00:58:43you were seven

00:58:44years ago?

00:58:45And your

00:58:45leg...

00:58:46Before he

00:58:46could finish,

00:58:47the phone

00:58:48rang.

00:58:48The screen

00:58:49flashed a

00:58:50single word,

00:58:51Selina.

00:58:53Kalen answered.

00:58:54His voice

00:58:55dropped into a

00:58:55frantic grail.

00:58:56Turn around!

00:58:57Back to the

00:58:57territory!

00:59:01The whole

00:59:02way, he

00:59:02soothed Selina

00:59:03through the

00:59:04communicator.

00:59:04By the time

00:59:05we burst

00:59:06back into

00:59:06the main

00:59:07house, I

00:59:08looked up.

00:59:09Selina stood

00:59:09on the roof's

00:59:10edge of the

00:59:10villa, still

00:59:11in her white

00:59:12dress.

00:59:13She looked at

00:59:14us.

00:59:15Sister's back.

00:59:17It's time for a

00:59:18defective Omega

00:59:18like me to step

00:59:19aside.

00:59:21Goodbye.

00:59:22Without another

00:59:23word, she

00:59:23jumped.

00:59:24The drop from

00:59:24roof to ground

00:59:25was maybe ten

00:59:25meters.

00:59:26But when Selina

00:59:27fell, every

00:59:28single one of my

00:59:28family lunged

00:59:29forward on pure

00:59:30instinct.

00:59:32That night,

00:59:33ambulance sirens

00:59:34wailed over the

00:59:35territory.

00:59:38Ivy, why are you

00:59:39always coming

00:59:40after me?

00:59:41You laugh at me

00:59:42for being poor,

00:59:42for having cheap

00:59:43gear, and I can

00:59:44put up with all

00:59:45of that.

00:59:45But you can't

00:59:46abuse your power

00:59:47as captain to

00:59:48kick me off the

00:59:48squad, to ruin

00:59:50my dream.

00:59:50What the hell are

00:59:51you talking about?

00:59:53What do you want

00:59:54from me?

00:59:54Do you want me to

00:59:55beg in front of

00:59:55the entire school?

01:00:01She pushed me!

01:00:03She's bullying me!

01:00:06Back off!

01:00:10Ivy, Poppy, these

01:00:13two families are

01:00:13here to adopt you.

01:00:15One of you will

01:00:16go with the

01:00:16Lockards, and one

01:00:17with the Joneses.

01:00:19I'll let you

01:00:19choose who goes

01:00:20where.

01:00:23In my last life,

01:00:24I got adopted by

01:00:25the Joneses.

01:00:32And Poppy went

01:00:33home with the

01:00:33Lockhoods, to be

01:00:35a rich girl like

01:00:35she'd always dreamed

01:00:36of.

01:00:38But money didn't

01:00:39save her.

01:00:41Not from a

01:00:42neglected father,

01:00:44and definitely

01:00:45not from that

01:00:46asshole brother

01:00:47of hers.

01:00:59She got the

01:01:00mansion, the

01:01:01designer dresses,

01:01:02the name, but

01:01:04she never got

01:01:05love.

01:01:10Asher, you must be

01:01:12exhausted.

01:01:13I brought you a

01:01:14towel.

01:01:19Poppy wanted her

01:01:20fairy tale ending.

01:01:22Marry the rich boy.

01:01:24Become Mrs. Lockwood.

01:01:28Poppy tried everything,

01:01:29but she ended up with

01:01:30nothing but crippling

01:01:31debt.

01:01:31The Lockwoods

01:01:33disowned her.

01:01:35So when Asher and I

01:01:36finally got married,

01:01:37she snapped.

01:01:42You bitch!

01:01:44I hate you!

01:01:45You ruined everything!

01:01:47If I'd chosen the

01:01:48Joneses, Asher would

01:01:49be mine!

01:01:50You stole my life!

01:01:53Go to hell, Ivy!

01:02:04Poppy, why?

01:02:05Is it because I

01:02:06married Asher?

01:02:07Because you think I

01:02:08got everything you

01:02:09ever wanted because

01:02:10you wanted to be me?

01:02:11You don't understand.

01:02:13My life wasn't some

01:02:14fairy tale.

01:02:15It was just a

01:02:16different kind of

01:02:17prison.

01:02:17If I could do it

01:02:18again, I would have

01:02:20walked away from it

01:02:21all.

01:02:27Ivy, Poppy, one of

01:02:29you goes with the

01:02:30Joneses.

01:02:31One goes with the

01:02:32Lockwoods.

01:02:33So, who do you

01:02:35choose?

01:02:35I was sent back in

01:02:36time to that day at

01:02:37the orphanage, to the

01:02:39day Poppy and I

01:02:40chose our parents.

01:02:42Mommy, Daddy, can I

01:02:43go home with you

01:02:44pretty please?

01:02:45I want to be

01:02:46Papa Jones.

01:02:47That's odd.

01:02:48Poppy's always wanted

01:02:49rich parents.

01:02:50Why isn't she

01:02:51choosing the

01:02:51Lockwoods?

01:02:53Ivy, I know you

01:02:55always wanted to be

01:02:55rich, so you can

01:02:57go with the

01:02:57Lockhouses.

01:02:58Hope you love your

01:02:59new family.

01:03:00She's choosing the

01:03:02Jones?

01:03:03But, why?

01:03:07Let's go.

01:03:10Remember how much

01:03:11Ashen loved saving

01:03:12little Sindrula?

01:03:13Well, it's my turn

01:03:15to play the poor

01:03:15girl.

01:03:16And you, you'll

01:03:18get to suffer, just

01:03:19like I did.

01:03:20She remembers.

01:03:23So, she got sent

01:03:24back in time, too?

01:03:38Enough.

01:03:39A Lockwood does not

01:03:41behave like this at the

01:03:42table.

01:03:43Disgraceful.

01:03:44Carter, the ruler.

01:03:59You're a Jones now,

01:04:00kid.

01:04:01Eat.

01:04:01Don't hold back.

01:04:03Look at that.

01:04:04She handles a knife

01:04:05better than we do.

01:04:06She's going places,

01:04:07Hank.

01:04:07I just know it.

01:04:08Of course I am.

01:04:11Wow.

01:04:13I really outdid

01:04:14myself.

01:04:15Call me Picasso.

01:04:17Being a Lockwood

01:04:18might seem great on

01:04:19the surface, but

01:04:20behind the scenes,

01:04:21it's a never-ending

01:04:23nightmare.

01:04:24I have to get myself

01:04:25out of here.

01:04:32Ashler!

01:04:33Stop!

01:04:34You're going to kill

01:04:34me!

01:04:35Please!

01:04:37I'm your sister!

01:04:39Kill you, please.

01:04:40I haven't even

01:04:41touched you.

01:04:42Besides, you're the

01:04:43one who weaseled

01:04:44your way into my

01:04:44family.

01:04:45Filthy gold dick.

01:04:47Tell you what,

01:04:48if you're so desperate

01:04:49for cash, drink piss

01:04:50out of the toilet

01:04:51and I'll give you

01:04:51a hundred grand.

01:04:52I don't care about

01:04:53your stupid money!

01:04:55Still pretending?

01:04:56Fine.

01:04:59No!

01:05:00No!

01:05:01No!

01:05:02No!

01:05:03No!

01:05:04No!

01:05:05No!

01:05:07No!

01:05:09Who the fuck

01:05:10said you could

01:05:10be in here?

01:05:12Get out!

01:05:18Fucking nerds!

01:05:20Always ruining

01:05:21all the fun,

01:05:22whatever.

01:05:22Let's go!

01:05:29You okay?

01:05:31Jade LeWerent.

01:05:32Top of the class.

01:05:34She's never

01:05:34even looked at me

01:05:35before.

01:05:36So why is she helping me now?

01:05:47What the fuck?

01:05:48Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

01:05:51I got your shoes all dirty.

01:05:56No, it's okay. It's no big deal.

01:06:00You look exhausted. You should sit down for a bit.

01:06:03I can't. I still have half the cafeteria left.

01:06:06If it's not spotless, they'll dock a hundred off my mom's paycheck.

01:06:09It's probably nothing to you, but for us, it's a whole week of expenses.

01:06:16You too, helper.

01:06:19How do you get home after school?

01:06:21Oh, I walk. Takes me about an hour on a good day.

01:06:25An hour? That's ridiculous. I'll drive you from now on.

01:06:40Go ahead, Poppy. Be as smug as you want.

01:06:42You're walking into your own hell.

01:06:44Programming prodigics Jade Laurent.

01:06:46In my last life, she wrote AI code that revolutionized the world.

01:06:49But she didn't live long enough to see it.

01:06:51Jade.

01:06:51Heard her junkie dad showed up to school demanding money.

01:06:54Again.

01:06:55She beat her up and stole the money she made working part-time.

01:06:58Guess she couldn't take it anymore.

01:07:00Yeah, she had it pretty rough.

01:07:01Remember how her mom died because they couldn't afford the meds?

01:07:03Jade went through so much, but she never complained or asked for handouts.

01:07:07This time around, I'm not just saving myself. I'll save her too.

01:07:14My eyes are bigger than my stomach. Help me out?

01:07:17What's the catch?

01:07:18There isn't one. I just hate wasting food.

01:07:21But if you really don't want it, I guess I'll just have to toss it.

01:07:25Spoiled witch kids.

01:07:26By the way, I totally bombed the last trig test.

01:07:29Could you tutor me?

01:07:30Why me?

01:07:31Because you're the smartest person in school.

01:07:33If I want to get into a top school, shouldn't I learn from the best?

01:07:37How about a hundred bucks an hour?

01:07:40I charge everyone twenty-five an hour. No exceptions.

01:07:43Meet me at the library tomorrow at three.

01:07:45Nice. See you then.

01:07:49Eat up, dear.

01:07:50We can't thank you enough for looking after Poppy at school.

01:07:54No prob. Poppy, she's cool. Everyone loves her.

01:07:58And, um, thanks for having me.

01:08:00You're welcome anytime, son.

01:08:02We've always wished we could give Poppy more.

01:08:04But knowing she's got someone like you in her corner, well, it means a lot to us.

01:08:09Our family doesn't have much, so we've always hoped a reliable young man would come along and help Poppy.

01:08:16If only you could...

01:08:17Oh, I'm rambling again, aren't I?

01:08:18Please, eat up!

01:08:23I made this. I know it's kind of dumb, but I thought you'd like it.

01:08:27It's late. You're more than welcome to stay the night if you'd like.

01:08:31I should get going, but thank you.

01:08:33Tonight was really nice.

01:08:44Why didn't you stop him?

01:08:46I gave you the perfect opportunity!

01:08:48I just got him to hold my hand.

01:08:51I can't move too fast.

01:08:53Holding hands?

01:08:55What is this, kindergarten?

01:08:56You should have thrown your yourself at him!

01:08:59We give you the chance of a lifetime.

01:09:01And you let it slip right through your fingers?

01:09:06We adopted you to land a rich guy!

01:09:09I feed you, clothe you, put a roof over your head, but when it matters, you choke?

01:09:15You think you're some damn princess?

01:09:19Dad, just give me a little more time.

01:09:22Asher's almost on the hook, I swear.

01:09:26Where's Asher?

01:09:27He went out after school, sir.

01:09:28Calls have been going straight to voicemail.

01:09:31Dinner is family time!

01:09:33How dare he treat this house like a hotel!

01:09:35I'm home.

01:09:37Where the hell have you been?

01:09:39Do you have any idea what time it is?

01:09:41Sorry, Dad.

01:09:42I promise it won't happen again.

01:09:45I already ate.

01:09:46I'll head up first.

01:09:49Of course.

01:09:50He can't resist a damsel in distress.

01:09:53Give him a poor girl to save.

01:09:55And he folds every time.

01:09:57Go ahead.

01:09:58Asher, play right into her hands.

01:10:00As for me, I'm climbing out.

01:10:02Ivy, for the last time.

01:10:03Stop zoning out at the dinner table!

01:10:06Sorry, Dad.

01:10:07Um, by the way,

01:10:08could I have some extra money for textbooks?

01:10:16Thought you could squeeze more money out of Dad?

01:10:20You disgusting gold dagger.

01:10:22Poppy's a thousand times better than you'll ever be.

01:10:25Great.

01:10:26Then go bother her.

01:10:27Stop wasting your time on me.

01:10:36Are you insane?

01:10:38Thumbtacks?

01:10:39What if she swallowed one of those?

01:10:41I thought we were teaching her a lesson?

01:10:43What?

01:10:44Feel sorry for her now?

01:10:45What?

01:10:45No!

01:10:46I'm just saying!

01:10:47There's levels to this shit!

01:10:52Uh, Ivy, how could you be so careless?

01:10:55Here.

01:10:56Have my lunch instead.

01:10:58Eat up.

01:11:03Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

01:11:10Is that all you're eating?

01:11:11Come on.

01:11:12I'll take you to the cafeteria.

01:11:13My treat.

01:11:14No, it's okay.

01:11:16I couldn't bother you.

01:11:17Let's go.

01:11:29Poppy?

01:11:31Poppy!

01:11:32Not here?

01:11:33Ivy, go find Poppy.

01:11:35Okay.

01:11:40Oh my god, your sister's spying on us.

01:11:44You spying on us now, you perv?

01:11:46Please.

01:11:47I have better things to do.

01:11:50Practice started ten minutes ago.

01:11:51Coach Knox told me to find you.

01:11:53Damn it.

01:11:54Just when Azure was finally paying attention.

01:11:56I won't let her ruin this for me.

01:12:02What's wrong?

01:12:03It's just...

01:12:05cramps.

01:12:06They're always rough.

01:12:09Poppy's not going to practice.

01:12:11I'm taking her home.

01:12:13I can't miss another practice.

01:12:16You don't need practice to be better than her.

01:12:19Come on, let's go.

01:12:28So, where's Poppy?

01:12:30She...

01:12:31I couldn't find her.

01:12:34All right, girls.

01:12:36State championships are coming up.

01:12:38If we win, you'll all have a shot at D1 schools.

01:12:59Relax, Poppy.

01:13:01You making the cut is a done deal.

01:13:03Yeah, chill out.

01:13:04Your coach loves you.

01:13:05What?

01:13:06I don't know.

01:13:08What?

01:13:09Disqualified?

01:13:11You!

01:13:12You did this!

01:13:14Read it.

01:13:15Repeated unexcused absences from practice.

01:13:18GPA below requirement.

01:13:19Automatic disqualification.

01:13:21If you've got a problem, take it up with Coach Knox.

01:13:24Shit!

01:13:25If I'm off the squad, how am I supposed to get close to Asher?

01:13:28Film this.

01:13:33Ivy, why are you always coming after me?

01:13:36You laugh at me for being poor, for having cheap gear, and I can put up with all of that.

01:13:40But you can't abuse your power as captain to kick me off the squad, to ruin my dream.

01:13:45What the hell are you talking about?

01:13:48What do you want from me?

01:13:49Do you want me to beg in front of the entire school?

01:13:56She pushed me!

01:13:58She's bullying me!

01:14:00Back off!

01:14:09She pushed me!

01:14:10She's bullying me!

01:14:14This is insane!

01:14:16They're acting like you committed a felony!

01:14:18It's even on the news?

01:14:19Since when does high school drama count as journalism?

01:14:21This is bullshit!

01:14:26I've never seen you this fired up.

01:14:28You're usually so calm.

01:14:30How are you laughing right now?

01:14:31You have a disciplinary meeting tomorrow!

01:14:33They'll rip you apart!

01:14:38Poppy's really going all out to destroy me.

01:14:42But we'll make her eat her words.

01:14:45Right, Jade?

01:14:47We?

01:14:54Asher, the disciplinary meeting's about to start.

01:14:56Where's Poppy?

01:14:59I'm here!

01:15:02Sorry.

01:15:03We're holding a disciplinary meeting in here for the sake of student privacy.

01:15:07Ask you to step outside!

01:15:09Principal Johnson, bullying is a serious accusation.

01:15:12Isn't the alleged bully's father a prominent businessman?

01:15:15And on the school board?

01:15:17The other board members and the public have a right to know.

01:15:21Transparency matters.

01:15:23Or were you trying to bury this?

01:15:26Everyone, quiet down, please!

01:15:28Lockhart High School has always enforced a zero-tolerance policy on bullying.

01:15:31The allegations against Cheer Captain Ivy Lockhart will be fully investigated.

01:15:35For transparency, the hearing will now proceed as an open inquiry.

01:15:42And we're live.

01:15:43Poppy, can you describe what happened yesterday?

01:15:45I'm sorry, Ivy.

01:15:46But I can't stay quiet anymore.

01:15:49Ivy hates me.

01:15:51She kicked me off the squad for no reason.

01:15:53Then attacked me.

01:15:55You're the one who grabbed me.

01:15:57And those injuries?

01:15:58I'll bet it was from that two-faced dad of yours.

01:16:02No, please!

01:16:03Don't get angry!

01:16:04Please don't hit me again!

01:16:07Ivy!

01:16:08Stop spreading lies!

01:16:09Her father would never do that to her!

01:16:11I met him the other night.

01:16:12He's a sweet guy.

01:16:13Her family adores her!

01:16:16What the hell?

01:16:17Poppy, this is serious.

01:16:19You shouldn't have said anything.

01:16:21Ivy said I was stealing her spotlight.

01:16:23We're seeing what appears to be clear evidence of physical assault!

01:16:26It's worse than we imagined!

01:16:28Expel her!

01:16:29You bitch.

01:16:32Poppy's life is hard enough!

01:16:36She works three jobs just to support her family,

01:16:39and you're picking on a poor girl like her?

01:16:42You make me sick!

01:16:44Let me say it again.

01:16:46I did not bully Poppy.

01:16:48Enjoy the sympathy while it lasts,

01:16:50because the higher they lift you up,

01:16:52the harder they'll tear you apart when the truth comes out.

01:17:01Found it!

01:17:02Hold on, Ivy's!

01:17:03I'm coming!

01:17:04Principal Johnson, you have to expel her!

01:17:08Ivy, are you still denying it?

01:17:10Expel her!

01:17:11She's a bully!

01:17:14I told you, I never hit her!

01:17:17You're finished, Ivy.

01:17:19You're getting expelled,

01:17:20and I'll have Dad report you.

01:17:22Let's see how tough you are in juvie.

01:17:27Yes, I understand.

01:17:29We're taking care of it.

01:17:30Please calm down.

01:17:32What?

01:17:33Withdraw funding?

01:17:34Please!

01:17:35Ivy Lockwood!

01:17:36Our school is being torn apart because of you!

01:17:38Effective immediately,

01:17:39you're expelled for-

01:17:46That's Vincent Lockheard!

01:17:48Is he here to set things straight?

01:17:49Ugh, rich kids get away with everything.

01:17:51Stupid neffy, baby.

01:17:53Dad!

01:18:03A bully doesn't get to call me Dad!

01:18:06The Lockhoods stand for integrity.

01:18:09You are a disgrace.

01:18:12There it is.

01:18:13I knew he'd put his reputation first.

01:18:16Keep it up, Vincent.

01:18:17Show them exactly who the Lockwoods really are.

01:18:21No, Dad!

01:18:22Please listen to me!

01:18:24Poppy set me up!

01:18:25Silence!

01:18:25Still shifting the blame?

01:18:27The last thing our family needs

01:18:28is an orphan brat stirring up bad PR.

01:18:35Ladies and gentlemen,

01:18:36I apologize for the damage

01:18:38my adopted daughter has done.

01:18:40I can't express how deeply ashamed

01:18:43and disappointed I am.

01:18:45The Lockwood family does not tolerate bullying.

01:18:48Anyone who crosses the line

01:18:49will face consequences.

01:18:50Even my adoptive daughter.

01:18:52Mr. Johnson,

01:18:53I'll trust the board

01:18:54to make the right decision.

01:18:56Wow, what a stand-up guy.

01:18:58Quick, get a close-up on Lockhart!

01:18:59He's tomorrow's front-page hero!

01:19:05You really thought Dad would save you?

01:19:08He just wanted everyone to know

01:19:11you're not blood.

01:19:14Ivy's a total fraud!

01:19:16She's not even a real Lockhart!

01:19:18She's adopted?

01:19:19That's probably why she's so fucked up.

01:19:26Yes, I made a mistake.

01:19:28And that mistake

01:19:29was forgetting what you taught me, Dad.

01:19:31Never get close to poor people.

01:19:33They're all liars and cheaters.

01:19:35Nothing but trouble.

01:19:37Right, Dad?

01:19:38Watch your mouth!

01:19:39Our family has always sympathized

01:19:41with hard-working blue-collar folks.

01:19:43If you don't get that,

01:19:44then you don't deserve to be a Lockhart!

01:19:47Ivy,

01:19:48you and Poppy came from the same orphanage.

01:19:50Just because you were lucky enough

01:19:51to be adopted by us

01:19:53doesn't mean you get to hold it over her head.

01:19:55Oh my God,

01:19:56they're from the same orphanage?

01:19:58One's an angel,

01:19:59while the other's not.

01:20:00Yeah, we came from the same orphanage.

01:20:02But that's exactly why Poppy's doing this.

01:20:05She's jealous.

01:20:06Ivy,

01:20:07how could you say that about me?

01:20:09I was so happy for you

01:20:11when the Lockhutes adopted you.

01:20:12I wanted us to stay like sisters,

01:20:15support each other,

01:20:16but you made it impossible.

01:20:20Jesus, Ivy,

01:20:21look at what you've done to her!

01:20:22Face it.

01:20:23Everyone can back Poppy,

01:20:24but you?

01:20:25Anyone want to vouch for Ivy?

01:20:28Miss Lockwood,

01:20:29no one's speaking up.

01:20:31Do you have anything to say for yourself?

01:20:33Enough, Ivy!

01:20:34Starting now,

01:20:35I am officially disowning Ivy!

01:20:37I'll vouch for Ivy.

01:21:10I'll vouch for Ivy.

01:21:12I'll vouch for Ivyился.
