00:29:41It's the last time.
00:29:45Did you start the second letter?
00:29:47Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:49Or, well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:51Hmm.
00:29:52Let's see it.
00:30:11It's not terrible.
00:30:14You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:20Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:23Yeah, I did.
00:30:25Yeah, very romantic, very gushy, a lot of stargazing, and just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:34Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:38Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:42You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:44You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:50You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:30:54You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:30:59Well, I think that's really cool.
00:31:04That one's perfect for you.
00:31:09Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:12Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
00:31:14Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:20Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:26Hey.
00:31:28There you are.
00:31:30I'm looking for you.
00:31:32Well, that's my cue.
00:31:34For real.
00:31:49Hey.
00:31:54I've been thinking about you.
00:31:57Really?
00:31:57It must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:01What?
00:32:03Baby, let me happen.
00:32:05Hey, I promise.
00:32:06Look, you are the only person that matters to me.
00:32:11Okay.
00:32:12Why?
00:32:14Why what?
00:32:16Why do I matter?
00:32:18What are you into?
00:32:20I'm into you, of course.
00:32:24Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:29You're really pretty.
00:32:31And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:35Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:37I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:41Hey, but now?
00:32:43You were, like, really hot.
00:32:47Yeah.
00:32:48Anything else?
00:32:49Uh, what?
00:32:51You, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:54Okay, wait.
00:32:57You're beautiful.
00:32:59Oh, you already said that.
00:33:02Babe, what?
00:33:11You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:17You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:21I think that's really cool.
00:33:25I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:58Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:34:01I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:02No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:06Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:08No.
00:34:09No, that's not how this works.
00:34:11You need to let her wonder.
00:34:13Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:14Yeah.
00:34:15Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like
00:34:20her.
00:34:21And ruin the mystery?
00:34:24Are you sure you put the letter in her locker?
00:34:27Yes, Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:36Look who's back.
00:34:38Desk rat herself.
00:34:40What's in the bag, rat?
00:34:41Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:46Don't.
00:34:47Give it back.
00:34:51Let's see.
00:34:59My dearest Chloe.
00:35:01Oh my God, no wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:03Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:05And so, Samantha, give it back.
00:35:07Yes, it's not funny, please.
00:35:10Hey.
00:35:14What the hell's going on?
00:35:18Samantha, what the hell is your problem?
00:35:20Give Mia her bag back right now.
00:35:22Since when do you take Charity Case's side over mine?
00:35:25I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:27Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:30And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:33You and me are not a thing.
00:35:35So give me your bag back right now.
00:35:40This is all her fault.
00:35:49Thanks.
00:35:54Brad.
00:35:55You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:35:58I...
00:35:58Mia.
00:36:00You lied to me.
00:36:01No.
00:36:02Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:03No, I didn't.
00:36:07No.
00:36:30Brad.
00:36:32Please.
00:36:35Yes.
00:36:36Yes.
00:36:37Yes.
00:36:38Yes.
00:36:46Who is it?
00:36:48It's Brad.
00:36:53Come in.
00:37:03Why didn't you give her the letter?
00:37:07I don't know.
00:37:10Bullshit.
00:37:10I don't. I don't.
00:37:12What, did you want some money?
00:37:13Was that it? You were just trying to squeeze some more money out of me?
00:37:15Fuck you, Brad.
00:37:17There must have been a reason.
00:37:20Mia, you're the smartest person I've ever met.
00:37:22I refuse to believe that you just didn't know what you were doing, or that it was an accident.
00:37:25Okay, I'm sorry.
00:37:26I'm really sorry, okay?
00:37:28But I can't keep writing for you anymore.
00:37:30You don't understand how hard it is to make someone fall for you when it's not even you.
00:37:45I need you, Mia.
00:37:50I put the letter in Chloe's locker and she wrote back.
00:37:54But I just...
00:37:56I can't read it without you.
00:38:00I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:06Please.
00:38:31Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like a total
00:38:35cliche, but when I see you, everything else fades. I like the way that you always bite your pen when
00:38:45you're stuck on a sentence, like you're trying to scare the words into place. I like that you
00:38:53don't try to fit in, you just exist, exactly the way you are.
00:39:03You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it. Brad.
00:39:33She wrote back. I'm going to throw up.
00:39:37Okay, let's see.
00:39:42Dear stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty. Each letter you
00:39:50leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete. Ooh, that's good. But every
00:39:57story has to step off the page eventually. What if we met?
00:40:06She wants to meet? Oh my god.
00:40:19What's this? It's Chloe's favorite band. You are to think you guys have things in common,
00:40:25right? Yeah, yeah. What about when girls like when guys have their own interests? Okay, but
00:40:31not when their thing is basketball and burping the alphabet. You remember that? Yeah. That's
00:40:39bad. That's really bad. Oh my god. Okay. So, let's see. Okay. Chloe's favorite book? Um, The
00:40:48Night Circus. Okay. Chloe's favorite movie? Pride and Problems. Prejudice. The movie's called
00:40:59Prejudice? Prejudice. Pride and Prejudice. Oh, Pride and Prejudice. Good job. Okay. All right.
00:41:05What food does she hate? Um, anything with olives. Good job. Hey, look at you. You're not completely
00:41:14a lost cause. Hey, they don't call me B-Rad for nothing. Okay. You're taking her on the first date.
00:41:22Where are you going? The drive-in movie theater. Hmm. Let me ask you something. If someone were to
00:41:34take you on a date, where would you want to go? It's not important. Anyways, I don't drive. So, yeah.
00:41:43You don't drive?
00:41:45I never got my license. You're lying. Oh my god. Little Miss Overachiever never got the license.
00:41:54This is amazing. It's not funny. It's very funny. It's pretty funny. Wow. Well, lucky for you,
00:42:03Coach Sterling over here is open for driving lessons. No, Brad. It's not happening. Yes.
00:42:10I'm serious. No. No, I'm serious. It's not a joke. It's not going to happen. It's happening.
00:42:25All right. Driver's head time. You ready? I'm not doing it. Come on. You're a genius.
00:42:31How hard can driving be? No, I'm serious. Brad, please just drop it. Look, what are you so afraid of?
00:42:36If it's a car, not a shark, you're going to be fine. Yeah, well, my dad died in one.
00:42:41And my mom's been in the hospital ever since. So, uh, I'm not driving.
00:42:50I got an idea. All right, so why don't you just stay right here?
00:42:56Okay.
00:43:07What are you doing?
00:43:10You're going to take it slow. Just like a turtle. And look it. Nothing's going to happen.
00:43:18Do you trust me?
00:43:21I do.
00:43:23Great. Hop on in.
00:43:26Okay.
00:43:28I think I got you a gift.
00:43:30Okay.
00:43:31Okay.
00:43:32Let me see.
00:43:36Cute.
00:43:37Oh, gosh.
00:43:40You got this.
00:43:43Perfect.
00:43:45All right.
00:43:46That's the brake.
00:43:47That's the gas.
00:43:49We're in drive.
00:43:52That's reverse.
00:43:53Okay.
00:43:53All right.
00:43:54So, it's in neutral right now. Whenever you're ready, put it in drive. Slowly put it on the gas.
00:44:01Okay.
00:44:02On the gas.
00:44:04Right on the gas.
00:44:05Oh!
00:44:05Oh!
00:44:06Oh!
00:44:06Oh!
00:44:08Oh!
00:44:10Okay, all right!
00:44:11Wow, that was great.
00:44:12No, no, no, no, no.
00:44:13Hey, no, hey.
00:44:14Hey, I got you. I got you.
00:44:16And honestly, not too bad for your first time.
00:44:19I almost killed us.
00:44:20Well, that builds character.
00:44:22Yeah, you did great.
00:44:24I think lesson one is, uh, complete.
00:44:27All right.
00:44:28My turn.
00:44:28Ah!
00:44:30Lucas?
00:44:33Oh, my God.
00:44:35Do people really look at each other like that?
00:44:38I mean, come on.
00:44:39Yeah.
00:44:40If they're blind.
00:44:44Watch, I better get a kiss right here.
00:44:46Right here.
00:44:47Oh!
00:44:47Oh!
00:44:49Oh!
00:44:49Call it!
00:44:50Well.
00:44:50Look at you.
00:44:52I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
00:44:57It's the build-up.
00:44:59The anticipation, you know?
00:45:01Just like her.
00:45:02You can kiss your company goodbye.
00:45:06So, are you sure?
00:45:09I've never been more sure of anything in my whole life.
00:45:17What?
00:45:18What about your mom and the company?
00:45:21Sorry, I need to take this.
00:45:23It's okay.
00:45:24Hello?
00:45:26I'll be right there.
00:45:29Mom?
00:45:31You said it was an emergency?
00:45:32It's nothing, sweetie.
00:45:34Just a little scare.
00:45:35I'm fine.
00:45:38And who is this handsome young man?
00:45:40Your boyfriend?
00:45:42Yes, yes.
00:45:42Hi, I'm, uh, Brad Sterling.
00:45:44It's great to meet you, ma'am.
00:45:46Oh, you were quite the catch.
00:45:49What are your intentions with my daughter?
00:45:51Mom?
00:45:52He's not my boyfriend.
00:45:58Her heart is failing faster than we expected.
00:46:01She needs a transplant within the week.
00:46:04How much?
00:46:05Even with insurance, you're looking at $200,000.
00:46:09Man, there are other options.
00:46:11It's okay.
00:46:12I'll figure it out.

00:55:08I have zero time or interest in dealing with you.
00:55:12Relax, desk rat.
00:55:13I'm not here to fight.
00:55:15And what do you want?
00:55:17Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account.
00:55:25Exhausted much?
00:55:27I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:55:29That's not mine.
00:55:32Hmm.
00:55:33Two phones.
00:55:34Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:55:36Get out.
00:55:37Smile.
00:55:38Give me my phone back.
00:55:39Holy shit.
00:55:40It's you.
00:55:41You're Paper Hearts.
00:55:42Please?
00:55:43Please, Samantha, you can't tell anyone.
00:55:45I'll do your homework, your essays, whatever you want.
00:55:47I don't care about any of that.
00:55:49Then what do you want?
00:55:50I want the truth.
00:55:51Why is Brad always with you?
00:55:57I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:02Hey.
00:56:02Hey.
00:56:03Hi.
00:56:04You look beautiful.
00:56:07How was your class?
00:56:08It was good.
00:56:09It was good?
00:56:09It was good.
00:56:09Ready to go practice later?
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:11Hey, Mia.
00:56:13Mia.
00:56:15Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:56:17I, um, Chloe.
00:56:19This is Mia, my good friend.
00:56:22And Mia, this is Chloe, my girlfriend.
00:56:27Hi.
00:56:28Brad talks about you all the time.
00:56:30Yeah, same.
00:56:34Um, I actually had something to tell you.
00:56:36Yeah, what's up?
00:56:39Uh, I...
00:56:41I broke up with Dan.
00:56:43Oh, really?
00:56:44Well, that's great.
00:56:45He's, uh, a total moron.
00:56:48Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Well, see you guys around.
00:56:53Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh, come to the game later?
00:56:56Yeah.
00:56:57I'll sit with you if you want.
00:56:58Yeah, it'll be great.
00:56:59Yeah, maybe.
00:57:01Um, see you guys around.
00:57:02I'll see you there.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:16Okay.
00:57:19See you there.
00:57:24Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:57:27Shame, it's all a lie.
00:57:29I figured out why you were writing those letters.
00:57:32Shut up.
00:57:33Here's the deal.
00:57:34You tell Chloe the truth, that you're the one writing all those sweet little letters,
00:57:39or I do.
00:57:40And if I do, the principal gets your whole file.
00:57:46Now.
00:57:48Now.
00:58:02Go on.
00:58:05Okay.
00:58:10Sorry, excuse me.
00:58:12Just coming through.
00:58:13Sorry.
00:58:15Uh.
00:58:17Hey, Chloe.
00:58:19Oh my God, hi.
00:58:20I'm so glad you're here.
00:58:21Yeah.
00:58:21Um, it's a good game.
00:58:23I need to tell you something.
00:58:25Actually.
00:58:26Oh, my God.
00:58:28Ron, are you okay?
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:33I'm okay.
00:58:34Are you okay?
00:58:35I'm okay.
00:58:36I'm okay.
00:58:37All right, I gotta get back.
00:58:38Oh, good luck, good luck.
00:58:39Okay.
00:58:40Got this.
00:58:42Um.
00:58:45Um, what were you gonna say, Mia?
00:58:47Um.
00:58:49I need to tell you.
00:58:51Um.
00:58:53I've been.
00:58:53Go on.
00:58:54Tell her.
00:58:59I knew you chickened out.
00:59:04But I didn't write those letters.
00:59:06What?
00:59:07Our little ghostwriter here did.
00:59:09Every word.
00:59:11They were just messing with you.
00:59:13Both of them.
00:59:14Chloe, it's not like that.
00:59:15At all.
00:59:16So, everything was a lie?
00:59:19It wasn't a lie.
00:59:21At all.
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:23Chloe.
00:59:24Chloe, I.
00:59:30No.
00:59:31Where you going, man?
00:59:38Unbelievable.
00:59:41All this work.
00:59:43Captain Love's story.
00:59:44Did you sit in?
00:59:46Out of some stupid girl.
00:59:50God.
00:59:52I bet he's been fucking desk rat his new chick found out.
00:59:59No, actually.
01:00:01I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
01:00:05Probably half the faculty.
01:00:07It's a shame that, uh, one pathetic whore cost us the game.
01:00:13What the hell did you just say?
01:00:16Relax, man.
01:00:20If you're into leftovers, that's your call.
01:00:36What the hell's your problem?
01:00:38Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:00:52Brad?
01:00:56You really told her everything, huh?
01:00:58No.
01:00:58Everything?
01:00:59Oh, what's wrong with your hand?
01:01:01Captain!
01:01:02My captain is...
01:01:04You little bitch.
01:01:05Hold it.
01:01:08You think you're some kind of hero?
01:01:10Oh, my gosh.
01:01:11Get up.
01:01:16Get up.
01:01:16Sorry about your boy toy princess.
01:01:19Hey, thanks.
01:01:21This work.
01:01:22Hey!
01:01:24Sorry, Brad.
01:01:28Let's go.
01:01:29Come on.
01:01:29Come on.
01:01:30Oh, my gosh.
01:01:31Brad?
01:01:32Brad?
01:01:33Oh.
01:01:34Hey.
01:01:35It's okay.
01:01:36It's okay.
01:01:36Someone!
01:01:37No.
01:01:38Um.
01:01:41Okay.
01:01:47It's going to be a quick little trip.
01:01:49It's okay.
01:01:50Hurry.
01:01:54Okay.
01:01:55Okay.
01:02:01It's just driving.
01:02:06Okay.
01:02:07You're going to make it, Brad, okay?
01:02:08Stay with me.
01:02:10Okay.
01:02:21I'm so sorry this happened.
01:02:24It's all my fault.
01:02:29I wish...
01:02:30You would have never asked me for help.
01:02:33I wish I would have just...
01:02:34Stayed invisible to you.
01:02:38None of this would have ever happened.
01:02:46I would have never fallen for you.
01:03:03Oh.
01:03:05It's you.
01:03:06Chloe!
01:03:06I wish I could have ever heard of you.
01:03:11I wish I could have ever heard of me.
01:03:13I wish I could have, and I wish I could have one more.
01:03:14I wish I could have one more.
01:03:15What do you want, Mia?
01:03:16For you to know the truth?
01:03:19Yeah.
01:03:20Brad lied, okay?
01:03:21But he didn't mean to hurt you.
01:03:22It's not up to the liar to decide whether the lie hurts or not.
01:03:26I know.
01:03:27I know.
01:03:28He just fell for you so hard.
01:03:31He didn't even know how to act like himself.
01:03:33I mean, look at everything he's done to make you happy.
01:03:36Has anyone in the school ever done anything like that for anyone?
01:03:43I know.
01:03:44I know it doesn't erase.
01:03:45What he's done, but it should at least mean something.
01:03:53You think he really cares about me?
01:03:56I know he does.
01:03:59And I know you do, too.
01:04:01I only came because I got scared when I found out.
01:04:06That's not why you're here.
01:04:10And you?
01:04:14I'm letting go.
01:04:18Okay.
01:04:22Okay.
01:04:30Hey.
01:04:32You okay?
01:04:34Hey.
01:04:49I'm almost there.
01:04:51With Brad's help, just a little more and I'll have enough for mom's surgery.
01:05:04Excellent work as always, Mia.
01:05:49Mia, where are you going?
01:05:57I heard she's currently with the Professor Luke.
01:06:00That's why she gets straight A's.
01:06:02Some people are just desperate.
01:06:21Gosh, what do you want?
01:06:23I did what you asked.
01:06:25Except you didn't.
01:06:27And now it's time to pay the price.
01:06:31No, I told her the truth.
01:06:33You chickened out.
01:06:34And now Brad's still with her, not me.
01:06:37It's not my fault that he hates you.
01:06:39Please.
01:06:40If it weren't for your little love letters, he wouldn't even know she exists.
01:06:45You're seriously blaming this on me because he doesn't want to be with you?
01:06:49You need help.
01:06:53Give it back.
01:06:54Excuse me.
01:06:55What are you doing?
01:06:57Nope.
01:06:57All this from homework?
01:06:59What are you doing?
01:07:00Give me my phone.
01:07:01Oh, just call it interest for fucking up my love.
01:07:15You're going to regret that.
01:07:18Help!
01:07:19Help!
01:07:20Please!
01:07:21She's attacking me!
01:07:22Mayor Brooks, please report to the principal's office immediately.
01:07:30Any other student would be expelled for this.
01:07:34But, given your academic record, two weeks suspension.
01:07:38Effective immediately.
01:07:40What?
01:07:41Principal Matthews, you can't do this.
01:07:43I need to be at school.
01:07:44I have nothing else.
01:07:45She stole my money.
01:07:46What money?
01:07:47Where would someone like her even get money?
01:07:49That's all, Mia.
01:07:50You can go.
01:07:51No!
01:07:52Shh!
01:07:54I said you can go.
01:07:56Okay, sorry.
01:07:59She's...
01:07:59I said you can go.
01:08:05Samantha!
01:08:07Samantha!
01:08:09Please!
01:08:10I need that money for my mom's surgery.
01:08:12Not my problem.
01:08:13I can't just...
01:08:14Take what's not yours?
01:08:15Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:08:22At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:08:26Oh, my goodness.
01:08:30That's rats slinging wieners and beef.
01:08:33It's pretty on point.
01:08:34Leave me alone.
01:08:35Why?
01:08:37You got any footlongs here, or is that pro bono just for the faculty?
01:08:42Get out of here!
01:08:44What are you doing?
01:08:45Hmm.
01:08:48Oops!
01:08:50You know, this is your peak move.
01:08:52Hey!
01:08:52It's all downhill from here.
01:08:54It's going in.
01:08:55Oh, my God.
01:08:56What the hell is going on?
01:08:58It wasn't me.
01:08:59I swear.
01:09:00This comes out of your paycheck.
01:09:02What?
01:09:04Cooper!
01:09:05I'm so sorry.
01:09:10I'm...
01:09:19You're lucky she got you to the hospital in time.
01:09:24Who?
01:09:25Mia.
01:09:26Mia.
01:09:26She drove you.
01:09:28No.
01:09:29No, Mia can't drive.
01:09:31She did that night.
01:09:39Jackson, you looked like you were about to meet Jesus back then.
01:09:42This part's my favorite.
01:09:44The way they realized they'd loved each other all along.
01:09:47I'm so sorry.
01:09:48After three conversations and a kiss in the rain.
01:09:51Very realistic.
01:09:54It's romantic.
01:09:57It's cheesy.
01:10:01You don't have to watch with me.
01:10:04No, I want to.
01:10:05I want to.
01:10:06I'm sorry.
01:10:08I'm sorry.
01:10:10I'm sorry.
01:10:10I'm sorry.
01:10:18Hi, Dad.
01:10:32Hi, Dad.
01:10:39I wish you were here.
01:10:44You know how to fix this.
01:10:48Mom's really sick.
01:10:51She's really sick.
01:10:54And I can't save her.
01:10:58And I've tried so hard.
01:11:10Why did you leave?
01:11:14Oh, my God.
01:11:15Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:11:18I got you.
01:11:20You okay?
01:11:21Hey, hey.
01:11:23It's okay.
01:11:28I'm so sorry.
01:11:38It's all over.
01:11:40All the money is gone.
01:11:45Even if I worked every second, it wouldn't be enough.
01:11:50You know, when I came out here and I saw you, I got so scared.
01:12:00Samantha took everything.
01:12:02I know.
01:12:02Every cent.
01:12:04And she knows who I am.
01:12:06She knows about me.
01:12:08And I'm paper hearts.
01:12:10Well, then we will do everything that we can to make sure that she gives it back.
01:12:14How?
01:12:15How?
01:12:16She has all the cards in her hands.
01:12:18If she exposes me, I'm done.
01:12:20No school.
01:12:21No future.
01:12:22Nothing.
01:12:24You know what?
01:12:26Yeah.
01:12:31Let's turn the tables.
01:12:37Let's go.
01:12:47You called for me, Principal Matthews?
01:12:53Yes, come in.
01:12:54Have a seat, please.
01:13:01Hi, Samantha.
01:13:04So, Principal Matthews.
01:13:06Mia did not lie about everything.
01:13:08Samantha was the one that stole everything.
01:13:10Everything from the car wash.
01:13:11Everything that Mia worked so hard to get.
01:13:14Even if that were true, which it's not, how would a charity case like her have thousands just lying around?
01:13:21Here's your proof.
01:13:23Every single cent went right into Samantha's bank account.
01:13:27Mr. Matthews, they're just trying to blackmail me because I know the truth about Mia.
01:13:30You know what, Samantha?
01:13:31This is exactly why I broke up with you.
01:13:34Because you lie.
01:13:35You lie and you manipulate and you don't care who gets hurt along the way as long as you get
01:13:39what you want, right?
01:13:41You want to play that game?
01:13:42Fine.
01:13:43You want to talk about liars?
01:13:45Here's your perfect straight-A student running a whole cheating empire under your nose.
01:13:50Paper hearts.
01:13:51That's her.
01:13:53And when I found out, they threatened me.
01:13:56And she attacked me.
01:13:58She told me that if I told anyone, she would kill me.
01:14:00So, I just couldn't hide it anymore.
01:14:04Is this true?
01:14:05What?
01:14:07This is ridiculous.
01:14:09No, it's not.
01:14:11Because I run paper hearts.
01:14:14I always have, and Mia has never had anything to do with it.
01:14:18You fully understand the consequences of your confession, Brad?
01:14:22Yes, I do.
01:14:25So, you expect me to believe a student like you, who's barely turned in a completed essay his entire high
01:14:32school career?
01:14:34Well, that was exactly the point.
01:14:36No one would ever suspect it was me.
01:14:38You didn't.
01:14:40But yes, I ran paper hearts.
01:14:42I hired people to write the essays.
01:14:44I ran the app.
01:14:45I handled all the finances.
01:14:46And I made sure that it would never get traced back to me.
01:14:51Mia is a great, very hardworking student.
01:14:54And she would never do anything like this.
01:14:56She had nothing to do with it.
01:14:57I promise.
01:14:58Well, where did Mia get the money?
01:15:01Frankly, sir, I have no idea.
01:15:03But honestly, however much money is in Mia's bank account is really, well, none of our business.
01:15:09Brad, you're expelled.
01:15:11Effective immediately.
01:15:13Samantha, so are you.
01:15:15What?
01:15:16Now, I'm willing to keep this quiet and not involve the police.
01:15:20But if you want to press your luck, theft of this amount will put you behind bars for five years.
01:15:27Now, maybe your daddy's attorneys and lawyers can shave it down one or two years.
01:15:33It's your choice.
01:15:57Well, well, well.
01:16:01Well, looks like Deserat is out of job.
01:16:04Ooh.
01:16:05You know, maybe you should work the corner.
01:16:10And by the way, word of advice, I heard it pays better if you don't use protection.
01:16:16Oh, that's for every piece of shit thing you've ever said to me.
01:16:21Oh, my God.
01:16:25Remind me not to piss you off.
01:16:27You already do.
01:16:28Thanks.
01:16:29Well, let's go to the hospital.
01:16:32Yeah.
01:16:32Oh.
01:16:34Oh.
01:16:38We have the money.
01:16:39Please, where's my mom?
01:16:41You're two hours late.
01:16:43We couldn't wait any longer.
01:16:44We had to move on to the next patient.
01:16:49Well, Doc, can you move her back into the room?
01:16:53That's not how this works.
01:16:54Well, it is tonight.
01:16:55Hey, Brad.
01:16:56Hey, it's okay.
01:16:57Listen, Doctor.
01:16:57Here, grab every single doctor, every single nurse, every person that you need to make this
01:17:02operation happen so we can save this beautiful woman's life tonight.
01:17:10Wait here.
01:17:16Hey, hey, hey.
01:17:18We're too late.
01:17:19We're not too late.
01:17:21It's going to be okay.
01:17:22I promise.
01:17:36You're thinking so loud.
01:17:38I can hear it.
01:17:42I'm just glad you're okay, Mom.
01:17:46That's not all.
01:17:58Mom, how did you know you were in love with Dad?
01:18:01We were at this terrible karaoke bar.
01:18:05Oh, thanks.
01:18:07Neither one of us could sing to save our lives.
01:18:11But he got up anyway.
01:18:13Sang horribly.
01:18:16Just to make me laugh.
01:18:21Everyone was staring.
01:18:25But all I could see was him.
01:18:29That's it?
01:18:33Love isn't some big moment, sweetie.
01:18:36It's the little ones.
01:18:39That make you feel seen.
01:18:42I'm safe.
01:18:43You don't have to be anybody but yourself.
01:18:51Mom, I think I might have messed everything up.
01:18:56Good thing you're the best fixer I know.
01:19:10Why did you do all of this for Mia?
01:19:13I don't know.
01:19:13Because she's my friend.
01:19:16I think you do know.
01:19:33We're too different.
01:19:36But you and her...
01:19:40You always made sense.
01:19:47Write your own words this time.
01:20:15Please welcome to the stage the one and only
01:20:19valedictorian Mia Brooks. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm so proud of you. Thanks. Absolutely. Oh wow. Um, good afternoon everyone. Um,
01:20:34I had a whole speech planned about hard work and dedication and all the usual stuff you're supposed to say.
01:20:44I've spent so much of my life writing words for other people.
01:20:48It feels wrong not to write this moment for myself. I want to talk about love. Love isn't some perfect
01:21:00story with a guaranteed happy ending.
01:21:03It's confusing. Terrifying. And it makes you mess up over and over and over again.
01:21:14Because suddenly
01:21:18Someone else's happiness matters more than your own. And sometimes the scariest part isn't even falling for someone. It's
01:21:26Letting them see you. All of you. And trusting that they won't walk away.
01:21:32I spent so much time writing stories for everyone else. I think it's time I write my own. Congratulations, class
01:21:41of 2025.
01:21:44It's time I take my own advice. Bye.
01:21:48What the heck? Well, the show must go on, everyone. We have our next runner-up valedictorian, Chloe Hartwell.
01:22:01Brad.
01:22:03Yeah?
01:22:04What are you doing? You're supposed to be at graduation.
01:22:06Yeah, why aren't you at graduation?
01:22:08I already got my diploma.
01:22:11No ceremony for me.
01:22:15Um...
01:22:15My parents are moving tomorrow.
01:22:18New investment.
01:22:19New town.
01:22:22T-tomorrow?
01:22:26You were just gonna leave without saying anything?
01:22:30I figured you'd be better off.
01:22:38I got your letter.
01:22:42Yeah.
01:22:45Any notes?
01:22:48I got too scared to read it.
01:22:50Thought we could do it together.
01:22:55But first, there's something I want to say.
01:22:59You're the most...
01:23:01annoying,
01:23:03stubborn,
01:23:04frustrating person I've ever met.
01:23:09And I love you.
01:23:13I love you.
01:23:14And I'm done pretending.
01:23:15So if you don't feel the same way,
01:23:16just tell me right now.
01:23:24Yeah, you really should have read that letter.
01:23:28Why?
01:23:32Because then you'd already know how I feel.
01:23:58Because then you'd already know how I feel.
01:24:06Do you think this is true?!
01:24:09I'm done!
01:24:10I feel a lot like it!
01:24:12So...
01:24:12You're the most fortunate.
01:24:12I'll be in love with you.
01:24:14That's it.
01:24:21That's it.
01:24:22I love you.
01:24:23I love you.
01:24:24I love you.
01:24:24I love you.
01:24:25I love you.
01:24:27I love you.
01:24:27I love you.
01:24:27I love you.
01:24:28I'm trying to say that I'm just waiting for you
01:24:38I'm trying to get you in the middle of the day
01:24:43I'm trying to get you in the middle of the day
01:25:21If we're going to make this long distance thing work, you're going to have to learn how to drive.
01:25:24I'm already regretting this.
01:25:26Good, that's the spirit.
01:25:28We're going to die.
01:25:30No, we're going to be great.
01:25:33This is going to be awesome.
01:25:34Ready?
01:25:35Yep.
01:25:41Not too bad, huh?
01:25:43Not too bad.
01:26:11So, what now?
01:26:15Anything.
01:26:17Everything.
01:26:19Sounds terrifying.
01:26:21Not with you.
01:26:34Ready to go?
01:26:36Yeah.
01:26:38You're driving.
01:26:39Sounds good.
01:26:41Let's go.
01:26:42Yeah!
01:26:45Pretty.
01:26:48Hold on, darling, don't let me down.
01:26:52Hope that you feel it, too.
01:26:54Just give me a sign.
01:26:56Cause you know, or know, it ain't over.
01:27:06Hold on, darling, don't let me go
01:27:10I wanna see through this door, just hold me close
01:27:13Cause I'm lost, I know it ain't over
01:27:19You feel it too right, so I'm done next time
01:27:23I'll leave alone and just like that, I'm back to being sober
01:27:28We'll leave it all on set, cause this way will never be over
01:27:32You'll leave alone and just like that, I'm back to being sober
01:27:37You feel it too right, so I'm done next time
