00:00:01To save my brother's future after a tragic crash left him in a coma,
00:00:05I chopped off my hair, bound my chest to the point of breaking,
00:00:10and disguised myself as a star varsity quarterback.
00:00:13But the ultimate threat wasn't the game.
00:00:15His captain, the guy my brother has loved for four years,
00:00:19just printed me against the wall to kiss me?
00:00:21The problem is, I am not my brother!
00:00:28Are you Liam Carter's sister?
00:00:30Twin sister. How is he?
00:00:32He's stable, but in a coma.
00:00:34We're looking at three to six months minimum.
00:00:37Three to six months?
00:00:41Liam.
00:00:45Adrian Cole, the captain?
00:00:49Time's up.
00:00:56I'll figure this out, Liam. Just hang in there.
00:01:01Mia! What did the doctor say?
00:01:03Mom, Liam's fine. Let's just go home.
00:01:06He's really okay?
00:01:07Really. You know Liam, he's tough as nails.
00:01:10Takes more than this to knock him down.
00:01:11Come on, Mom, you need rest too.
00:01:21Adrian's the one person I can't afford to lose.
00:01:23If I tell him, his dad will destroy him.
00:01:26Senator Cole was on TV again last week,
00:01:28calling ho-sexuality a disease.
00:01:33So that last text.
00:01:35What were you gonna tell him?
00:01:37Departure at 7 o'clock?
00:01:39Everyone must be in time?
00:01:40Finals day?
00:01:42Sorry, Mom.
00:01:44Sorry, Liam.
00:01:45But I can't lose either of you.
00:01:53What's up, man?
00:01:58Carter, where the hell are you?
00:02:00Buster, it's 30.
00:02:01On my way, coach.
00:02:02What's wrong with your voice?
00:02:02Coming down with something.
00:02:04Don't you dare get sick on game day.
00:02:0630 minutes.
00:02:07Liam Carter.
00:02:08Starting today, that's me.
00:02:09Go!
00:02:14Sleep a little longer, Mom.
00:02:23Liam?
00:02:24No.
00:02:25Aunt Sarah, Liam was in an accident last night.
00:02:27He's in the ICU.
00:02:28What?!
00:02:28I'm going right now!
00:02:30Wait!
00:02:30I'm gonna play out his season.
00:02:32Are you out of your mind?!
00:02:33This is boys varsity football!
00:02:35Mom lost Dad two years ago.
00:02:37If she finds out Liam's in a coma, she won't make it.
00:02:40Doc says three to six months.
00:02:42I just need three.
00:02:44Locker rooms, physicals, full contact.
00:02:46That's why I need you.
00:02:48Please.
00:02:51One shot.
00:02:52Any slip up, I pull the plug.
00:02:54Deal.
00:02:57I can get you private PT room access for a pre-game muscle strain.
00:03:01That takes care of the locker room.
00:03:01What about physicals?
00:03:02League does monthly hormone panels.
00:03:04I can fake one result.
00:03:05Just one.
00:03:07That's all I need.
00:03:08No, it's not.
00:03:09Your cycle, I'll prescribe suppressors.
00:03:12And this.
00:03:14Competition grade.
00:03:15Put it on.
00:03:18Why do you have this?
00:03:21From my WNBA days.
00:03:23After the injury.
00:03:25Don't ask.
00:03:27Bus leaves in 15.
00:03:28Coming!
00:03:32Jesus Christ.
00:03:33You really do look like him.
00:03:35Remember.
00:03:35Less talking.
00:03:36More action.
00:03:37You know all Liam's tells.
00:03:38Been watching him my whole life.
00:03:40Adrian Cole, the captain.
00:03:41You know him?
00:03:42Never met him.
00:03:43But Liam's journal is full of him.
00:03:45He's Liam's closest friend.
00:03:46He'll be your biggest risk.
00:03:48Why?
00:03:49Because he knows Liam best.
00:03:50He'll catch any detail that's off.
00:03:52Then I'll avoid him.
00:03:53He's the captain.
00:03:54You're the QB.
00:03:55Good luck with that.
00:03:57Then I'll just have to sell it.
00:04:00Hold on, Liam.
00:04:08Carter!
00:04:09Carter!
00:04:09Where the hell have you been?
00:04:10My bad.
00:04:11Traffic was brutal.
00:04:12Traffic?
00:04:12On game day?
00:04:13Get your ass on the bus.
00:04:15You didn't pick up last night.
00:04:17Phone died.
00:04:18All night?
00:04:19Yeah.
00:04:21Look at me, Carter.
00:04:24Did you change your body wash?
00:04:26What?
00:04:26You smell like, I don't know, girly.
00:04:29Allergic reaction.
00:04:30Mom got me this hypoallergenic stuff.
00:04:32Don't be weird.
00:04:32If you say so.
00:04:33Here.
00:04:34For your hands.
00:04:35They always crack in winter.
00:04:36Thanks.
00:04:37You're off today.
00:04:38Game day nerves.
00:04:39Since when does Liam and Carter get nervous?
00:04:41That text last night.
00:04:42You didn't finish it.
00:04:43What text?
00:04:43Tell you something tomorrow after we win.
00:04:45I what?
00:04:46After the game.
00:04:47Fine.
00:04:47I'll be waiting.
00:04:49He could smell.
00:04:50I changed body wash.
00:04:51And he asked about the text.
00:04:52Liam's unsent draft from last night.
00:04:54How much did he see?
00:04:55Tell you something tomorrow after we win.
00:04:56I-
00:04:56Does he know what Liam was going to say?
00:04:58He's guessing.
00:04:59Mia, that Adrian kid, he's not just the captain.
00:05:01He's been in love with your brother for four years.
00:05:04What if he confesses today?
00:05:06I know.
00:05:07That's Liam's love story.
00:05:09I just need to get through the game.
00:05:10Let's hope it's that simple.
00:05:16How's the shoulder?
00:05:17Much better.
00:05:19Let me check.
00:05:19Don't touch.
00:05:20Just had heat therapy.
00:05:22Okay.
00:05:24Adrian.
00:05:25Something's up with you today.
00:05:26What?
00:05:27The way you're looking at him.
00:05:28Like you're studying him.
00:05:30That's ridiculous.
00:05:31Don't bullshit me.
00:05:32How long have we known each other?
00:05:33Marcus.
00:05:34Something's different about him today.
00:05:36Different how?
00:05:37I can't put my finger on it.
00:05:39I'll keep an eye on him.
00:05:40That's not necessary.
00:05:42Hey, what are friends for?
00:05:49Carter, hit Marcus on the left.
00:05:54What the fuck, Liam?
00:05:56Shake it off.
00:05:57Next play.
00:06:00I blew it.
00:06:02You're Liam Carter.
00:06:04You're fucking Liam Carter.
00:06:14What the hell is wrong with you today?
00:06:17Nerves.
00:06:19You've played a hundred games in your life.
00:06:21Now you get nervous?
00:06:22In the championship?
00:06:24Adrian.
00:06:26That text.
00:06:27What were you trying to say in that text last night?
00:06:30I...
00:06:32I what?
00:06:33I love you?
00:06:34I hate you?
00:06:35I'm leaving?
00:06:36Adrian.
00:06:38Is it I love you?
00:06:39Because I've been waiting four fucking years.
00:06:43I meant it.
00:06:44Every word.
00:06:46I meant it.
00:06:47Every word.
00:06:53Liam, give me strength.
00:06:57Liam.
00:07:14Carter!
00:07:15Carter!
00:07:16Carter!
00:07:17Carter!
00:07:24You won.
00:07:25We won.
00:07:27Put me down.
00:07:28Carter!
00:07:29Reporters want the MVP for an interview.
00:07:31Let's go!
00:07:41Carter, you're throwing 15% less power than the start of the season.
00:07:45You count that?
00:07:47I'm vice captain.
00:07:48Welcome back, Liam.
00:08:05We won, Liam.
00:08:06We won.
00:08:08We won.
00:08:08Your MVP medal.
00:08:10I got it for you.
00:08:12Liam.
00:08:14Adrian asked about that text today.
00:08:16That last eye.
00:08:18Was it I love you?
00:08:22After tomorrow's game, I'm telling him I don't care about the senator anymore.
00:08:26I don't care about the whole world.
00:08:28Why didn't you tell him sooner?
00:08:31Adrian wants me at his place tonight.
00:08:33He says we need to finish the conversation.
00:08:36If I don't go, he'll get suspicious.
00:08:38But if I do, if he wants to, this is your love story.
00:08:45I won't give it for you, but I'll protect it.
00:08:49You owe me big time.
00:08:54Miss Carter.
00:08:55Doctor.
00:08:56Your brother's EGA showed some minor activity today.
00:08:58We can't say he's waking up, but there are signs.
00:09:01Maybe in two to three months we'll see more progress.
00:09:03Can he hear me?
00:09:04We can't be certain.
00:09:05But coma patients sometimes can sense familiar voices.
00:09:07Thank you, doctor.
00:09:16Mia!
00:09:17Did you watch the game?
00:09:18Liam won!
00:09:19I did.
00:09:20He played amazing.
00:09:21I text him, but no reply yet.
00:09:22Tell him his mother is proud.
00:09:24Sure.
00:09:24I'll tell him later.
00:09:25Why did you cut your hair?
00:09:27School has this new semester thing.
00:09:29Required short hair.
00:09:32It looks good.
00:09:33Like your dad when he was young.
00:09:35Mom, I'm going to a classmates for a project.
00:09:37Might be back late.
00:09:38Okay.
00:09:38Don't be too late.
00:09:39Yeah. Night, Mom.
00:09:40Good night, sweetheart.
00:09:52You came.
00:09:53Yeah.
00:09:54My dad's at a fundraiser.
00:09:55House is empty.
00:09:56Oh.
00:10:04You've been avoiding me all day.
00:10:06On the bus.
00:10:07In the therapy room.
00:10:08In the parking lot.
00:10:09I wasn't...
00:10:09Liam.
00:10:11I've waited four years.
00:10:13I love you.
00:10:14Since we were 14.
00:10:16I couldn't say it before.
00:10:17If my dad found out, he'd destroy us both.
00:10:20But when you said I meant it today,
00:10:22I don't care anymore.
00:10:24Why are your hands so cold?
00:10:26Nervous.
00:10:28Liam Carter nervous for the second time.
00:10:31I can't.
00:10:32What?
00:10:33Not tonight.
00:10:34My head's still spinning.
00:10:35That crash after the game made me...
00:10:37What crash?
00:10:38I mean, adrenaline crash.
00:10:39After games, you know.
00:10:40You just said crash.
00:10:42On its own?
00:10:43Adrenaline crash.
00:10:45Same thing.
00:10:47Yeah, of course.
00:10:50You should go.
00:10:51Go rest.
00:10:52It's not that I don't want...
00:10:53I said go rest.
00:10:54Adrian.
00:10:55I'm sorry.
00:11:04Crash.
00:11:12He kissed me.
00:11:13I pushed him away.
00:11:14But I slipped up.
00:11:15Said crash.
00:11:16Is he suspicious?
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:18You need to be more careful.
00:11:20Get some rest.
00:11:43Liam.
00:11:44MVP.
00:11:45Thanks, man.
00:11:48Adrian.
00:11:49Your eyes are different today.
00:11:51Brighter.
00:11:53Like when I first met you.
00:11:55Can you not stand so close?
00:11:56We're in the hallway.
00:11:57What are you afraid of?
00:11:57It's been four years.
00:11:59Adrian.
00:12:00You're being awfully clingy with Liam today.
00:12:02None of your business.
00:12:04Liam.
00:12:05You're partnering with me this afternoon.
00:12:06Coach changed the line up.
00:12:08Be careful training with him this afternoon.
00:12:16You never used to eat in the corner before.
00:12:19Just wanted some quiet.
00:12:20You're using the knife with your left hand.
00:12:22What?
00:12:23You used to use your right hand for the knife.
00:12:26Practicing with my left hand.
00:12:27Brain development.
00:12:29That kiss last night.
00:12:30You were shaking.
00:12:31Was it because you didn't want it or because you wanted it too much?
00:12:33Because I wanted it too much.
00:12:36Then tonight...
00:12:36Adrian, give me some time.
00:12:37One week.
00:12:38One week.
00:12:39But during this week, you need to let me know you're still here every day.
00:12:47Come on, Liam.
00:12:49I'm the quarterback.
00:12:50I don't do tackle drills.
00:12:51Coach said everyone needs to practice.
00:12:53Don't keep me waiting.
00:12:56Fuck!
00:12:56Liam.
00:12:57You've lost weight?
00:12:58Or were you always this thin?
00:13:00What the fuck, Marcus?
00:13:02Just practice.
00:13:03You okay?
00:13:04Where does it hurt?
00:13:05Ribs.
00:13:09What happened?
00:13:10Marcus tackled him.
00:13:11Hit really hard.
00:13:11Let me see.
00:13:12Adrian, step outside.
00:13:13I'll watch him.
00:13:14This is a medical room.
00:13:15Out.
00:13:16Liam, wait for me when you're done.
00:13:18Why was Marcus targeting you today?
00:13:20He suspects me.
00:13:21He was testing me when he hit.
00:13:23Mia.
00:13:24This is getting out of control.
00:13:26Reyes!
00:13:27How much longer?
00:13:28I have to make it through.
00:13:39Hey.
00:13:40I'm Mia.
00:13:41Liam's sister.
00:13:51Oh, sorry.
00:13:55You're Liam's sister.
00:13:56You know my brother?
00:13:57You look exactly like him.
00:14:00You look exactly like him.
00:14:00Mirror twins.
00:14:01My hair part's on the right, his on the left.
00:14:03What's your name?
00:14:04Mia Carter.
00:14:05I'm Adrian.
00:14:06My brother mentioned you.
00:14:07He said you're his most important person.
00:14:10Don't you blink?
00:14:10You're giving me the creeps.
00:14:11Sorry.
00:14:12You look so much like him, yet different.
00:14:15Your mouth is different.
00:14:16He never jokes.
00:14:17Then he's boring.
00:14:18He's not boring.
00:14:18He just doesn't smile easily at people.
00:14:22Mia, your brother has changed recently.
00:14:24Makes my heart race even more.
00:14:26Does he know?
00:14:27He knows now.
00:14:28And he's avoiding me.
00:14:29Maybe he's not avoiding you.
00:14:31Maybe he's avoiding himself.
00:14:33The more he cares, the less he dares to face it.
00:14:35You're better with words than him.
00:14:38I'll walk you back.
00:14:39No need-
00:14:40Your brother would kill me.
00:14:41Mia.
00:14:42Your eyes shine differently from your brother's.
00:14:43His is like the moon, quiet.
00:14:45Yours is like the sun, direct.
00:14:47But both make my heart race.
00:14:50What did you just say?
00:14:51Nothing.
00:14:51I misspoke.
00:14:52No need to walk me.
00:14:53Thank you for tonight.
00:14:55Why does even her back look like his?
00:15:11Liam.
00:15:11I met someone today.
00:15:13Who?
00:15:13Your sister.
00:15:14She looks exactly like you.
00:15:16Yeah.
00:15:17We're mirror twins.
00:15:18She's different from you.
00:15:19How is she different?
00:15:21Liam.
00:15:21You used to dare to laugh too.
00:15:32What?
00:15:32What?
00:15:33Your sister said something to me last night.
00:15:35What?
00:15:36She said you're not avoiding me.
00:15:37You're avoiding yourself.
00:15:38She's talking nonsense.
00:15:39She's right.
00:15:40Liam.
00:15:40I've waited four years.
00:15:41I can wait more.
00:15:42But stop pretending.
00:15:43I'm not pretending.
00:15:44Your eyes look like hers again today.
00:15:47Like who?
00:15:48Your sister.
00:15:50After practice tonight, we need to talk.
00:15:57What?
00:16:02What?
00:16:04What?
00:16:05You told me everything.
00:16:06Recently, you don't tell me anything.
00:16:08Liam.
00:16:10Let me ask you one question.
00:16:12Answer me honestly.
00:16:14Yeah?
00:16:15Am I projecting my feelings for you onto your sister?
00:16:17What do you mean?
00:16:18When I was talking to her last night, my heart beat faster than when I talked to you.
00:16:22Same face, same eyes, but she makes me...
00:16:24I don't know how to say it.
00:16:25Am I an asshole?
00:16:26You're not an asshole.
00:16:28Then what am I?
00:16:28A pervert who loves a guy and is also attracted to his sister?
00:16:31You're not a pervert.
00:16:32Let me ask you one last question.
00:16:34Yeah?
00:16:35If one day I said I also fell for a girl, would you hate me?
00:16:38I don't hate you.
00:16:39Why?
00:16:40Because the people you fall for are always good people.
00:16:48Adrian Cole, what the fuck is wrong with you?
00:16:55Defense!
00:16:56Full tackle drills!
00:16:57Carter, get ready!
00:17:00Coach, let me practice with Carter.
00:17:02You're done.
00:17:03Rest.
00:17:14Marcus!
00:17:15What the fuck are you doing?
00:17:17Training move.
00:17:18Problem?
00:17:20Where does it hurt?
00:17:22Ribs.
00:17:23I'm taking you to Reyes.
00:17:24Shut up.
00:17:25Don't argue.
00:17:28Why is Marcus targeting you today?
00:17:30He's testing me.
00:17:31Every tackle, he's feeling my body.
00:17:33You sure?
00:17:34Yeah.
00:17:34Mia, Marcus has been scheming since he was young.
00:17:37If he suspects you, he won't tell Adrian.
00:17:39Why?
00:17:39Because he wants to use this secret himself.
00:17:41Use it for what?
00:17:42Do you know who Marcus likes?
00:17:43Adrian?
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:46How is it?
00:17:47Fine.
00:17:47Just bruising.
00:17:48What about that binding mark?
00:17:50What binding mark?
00:17:51On your ribs.
00:17:52A binding mark.
00:17:53I saw it through the curtain.
00:17:55Equipment mark from a previous injury.
00:17:57Which time?
00:17:57Six months ago.
00:17:58Football camp.
00:17:59I went to that camp with you.
00:18:01You didn't get injured.
00:18:06Don't move.
00:18:07Liam.
00:18:08I won't ask what it is.
00:18:10But why are you avoiding me since the night of the finals?
00:18:12Adrian, I'm scared.
00:18:14Scared of what?
00:18:15Scared this will destroy both of us.
00:18:16Then let it destroy us.
00:18:17I don't care anymore.
00:18:20Why are you crying?
00:18:21Because I've waited too long.
00:18:23Don't cry.
00:18:24I'm here.
00:18:37Liam.
00:18:39Your favorite apple pie.
00:18:41Thanks, Mom.
00:18:45Carter.
00:18:46Long time no see.
00:18:48Adrian.
00:18:49Liam said you haven't been feeling well lately.
00:18:52I'm feeling fine.
00:18:53Liam must have remembered wrong.
00:18:55Oh.
00:18:56Adrian, thank you for taking care of Liam all these years.
00:18:59He's changed recently.
00:19:00Have you noticed?
00:19:01I've noticed.
00:19:02He makes my heart race even more.
00:19:06Mrs. Carter, I'll go first.
00:19:15Mia.
00:19:17Walk with Mom over there.
00:19:19You've been so quiet lately, nothing like my boy?
00:19:22You think I can't tell my own children apart?
00:19:25I knew the day you changed your hairstyle.
00:19:27Mom.
00:19:27Liam steps with his left foot first.
00:19:29You step with your right.
00:19:30Liam tilts his head back when drinking water.
00:19:31You don't.
00:19:32Liam calls me Mom.
00:19:33You call me Mom.
00:19:36Silly child.
00:19:37I didn't expose you because I also needed time
00:19:40to learn how to stop letting my daughter live for my son.
00:19:43You didn't make me.
00:19:45I chose this myself.
00:19:46Watching me cry every day, what choice did you have?
00:19:49Mia.
00:19:50Mom is telling you today.
00:19:51When Liam wakes up, I won't take pills to escape anymore.
00:19:53From today, Mom will support you.
00:19:54Not you supporting me.
00:19:56Does Adrian know?
00:19:58He doesn't know.
00:19:59But he's guessed.
00:20:00The way that boy looks at you, it's not how he looks at Liam.
00:20:03Do you love him?
00:20:07Yes.
00:20:07Then it will be even harder for you.
00:20:10You can't accept his love as Liam.
00:20:12When Liam wakes up, I'll have nothing.
00:20:15Mia.
00:20:16What are you gonna do?
00:20:22Go.
00:20:23Whatever decision you make tonight, Mom will support you.
00:20:26Your hair isn't cut straight.
00:20:27Liam's hairstyle was never straight.
00:20:54Liam's hairstyle was never straight.
00:21:07No.
00:21:14No.
00:21:15No.
00:21:22No.
00:21:23Before Marcus exposes you, you have to tell Adrian yourself.
00:21:25Adrian asked me to the rooftop tonight.
00:21:27He said he has something to tell me.
00:21:28Then tell him the truth tonight.
00:21:28I can't on the night he confessed.
00:21:30Every second that passes, Marcus gets one step closer to the truth.
00:21:32Let me think about it.
00:21:44Adrian, sorry.
00:21:45I've been jealous for four years.
00:21:54Do you remember this rooftop?
00:21:55We first climbed up here when we were 14.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Liam.
00:22:00I won't ask what you're hiding today.
00:22:02Whatever it is, I accept it.
00:22:04Let me finish.
00:22:05Liam Carter.
00:22:06My first day as a transfer at 14, I got beat up.
00:22:08You rushed over from the cafeteria and fought three guys.
00:22:10Blood on your lip, you turned and said,
00:22:11What's up, man?
00:22:11I was done for in that second.
00:22:12I avoided you for four years because of my dad.
00:22:15But from the day you said I meant it, I'm not hiding anymore.
00:22:18This was my mom's.
00:22:19She said when I find someone worthy, give it to them.
00:22:21Adrian, I can't.
00:22:22You can.
00:22:22I love you.
00:22:24No matter what my dad does.
00:22:25No matter what the whole world does.
00:22:27I love you too.
00:22:28No matter what the future holds.
00:22:30I love you now.
00:22:34Senator, surprise is coming.
00:22:35Promise me one thing.
00:22:36Whatever happens in the future, you'll tell me.
00:22:38I promise.
00:22:39Then I promise you too.
00:22:40Whatever you're hiding, I won't stop loving you when I find out.
00:22:42You know what I'm hiding?
00:22:43I won't ask.
00:22:44I'll wait for you to tell me yourself.
00:22:45What if I can never tell you?
00:22:47Then I'll still wait.
00:22:52Who is this Liam?
00:22:53St. Augustine football team quarterback, single parent household.
00:22:56My son can like anyone, but not a boy during an election year.
00:22:59Lock Adrian at home.
00:23:00I'll personally go to the semifysk.
00:23:02Publicly announce his transfer to Harvard Prep.
00:23:04Cut it off with one sentence.
00:23:06What about the Carter family?
00:23:08Make them disappear from this city.
00:23:14Sit.
00:23:15I'm in a hurry.
00:23:15I said sit.
00:23:18Who gave you this?
00:23:19Not important.
00:23:20Adrian, when this season ends, you're transferring to Harvard Prep.
00:23:22I'm not going.
00:23:23You are.
00:23:23You're 18, but I control your trust fund until you're 25.
00:23:26Tuition, car, living expenses.
00:23:27I pay for everything.
00:23:28I'd rather not happen.
00:23:29What about Liam Carter?
00:23:30I've looked into his family situation.
00:23:31Single mother, widowed two years ago.
00:23:33Mrs. Carter's job, mortgage, Liam's scholarship all need the Cole family friend's support.
00:23:37You wouldn't dare.
00:23:37Cut ties with Liam Carter completely.
00:23:39Otherwise, the Carter family disappears from this city.
00:23:41Think carefully before you answer.
00:23:45Who filmed this?
00:23:46Don't know.
00:23:47My dad showed me this morning.
00:23:48He's threatening me.
00:23:49Transfer when the season ends or family disappear from this city.
00:23:51Mortgage.
00:23:52Liam.
00:23:52Adrian, you have to agree.
00:23:53You transfer.
00:23:54Are you crazy?
00:23:55I can't let my mom lose her job.
00:23:56What about us?
00:23:56Not even 24 hours and you want me to leave?
00:23:57I have no other choice.
00:23:58You do.
00:23:59We leave together.
00:24:00He can't control the trust my mom left me.
00:24:02California, New York, Europe.
00:24:04Adrian, stop.
00:24:04Liam.
00:24:05I can't leave with you.
00:24:05Last night you said I love you now.
00:24:07Why did you emphasize now?
00:24:08Because the future is too far away.
00:24:10Whatever you're hiding, I'll bear it with you.
00:24:14Adrian, the coach is looking for you.
00:24:16Okay, what were you about to say?
00:24:18Give me two weeks.
00:24:19Then I'll tell you everything.
00:24:21Hm.
00:24:24Your brother's brainwave indicators have improved 15% from last week.
00:24:28He could wake within three weeks.
00:24:30Possibly brief eye opening.
00:24:31Possibly vocalizing.
00:24:32Three weeks.
00:24:33Liam, might you wake within three weeks?
00:24:34I have thrill Adrian the truth within three weeks.
00:24:37His dad could destroy our family within three weeks.
00:24:38Marcus could do something else.
00:24:40Liam, I'm so tired.
00:24:46Liam, can you hear me?
00:24:51Liam, please wake up.
00:24:53Please wake up and tell me what to do.
00:25:14Adrian asked you out?
00:25:15He doesn't know it's me.
00:25:17Mia, you're gonna tear yourself apart like this.
00:25:19Men don't fall for two people at the same time unless those two people are the same person.
00:25:23Mom, I have to go.
00:25:24My dad locked me at home, climbed out the window.
00:25:26An 18-year-old boy climbing out windows. Modern romance.
00:25:29Mia, I need to confess something.
00:25:31Every time I see you, my heart beats faster than when I see your brother.
00:25:33I knew at 14 I liked boys, but now I'm falling for a girl.
00:25:35Why do you make my heart race?
00:25:36I don't know.
00:25:37Your soul and your brothers are the same thing.
00:25:39Fuck.
00:25:3924 hours ago, I just put my mom's necklace on your brother and now I'm about to kiss his sister.
00:25:43I'm an asshole.
00:25:44Mia, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you out.
00:25:45When we get down, I'll take you home. Then we shouldn't meet alone again.
00:25:48Why are you crying?
00:25:49Because you're a good person.
00:25:50The more you hold back, the more I...
00:25:52The more you what?
00:25:53The more I respect you.
00:25:56You're really similar to your brother.
00:25:57We have the same things in our blood.
00:25:59I'll go back myself.
00:26:00Next time we meet, I'll probably just be Liam's sister.
00:26:03Okay.
00:26:05Adrian, thank you for not kissing me tonight. Really.
00:26:09Mia, when you cry, you look exactly like your brother.
00:26:20Who opened that bottle for you?
00:26:21Marcus gave it to me.
00:26:23From today on, don't drink anything Marcus opens.
00:26:26Why?
00:26:27Intuition. Just trust me.
00:26:30Carter, the finals MVP won't have a drink to celebrate.
00:26:33I'm done drinking.
00:26:35Nice necklace. Where'd you get it?
00:26:36A gift. What's it to you?
00:26:38Don't be tense.
00:26:39Have a sip. Do me a favor.
00:26:46Liam, you don't look right.
00:26:47Adrian, my head's so dizzy.
00:26:49You're sweating cold. How much did you drink?
00:26:51Two bottles.
00:26:52Where did this glass come from?
00:26:53Marcus.
00:26:53Fuck.
00:26:54You've been dugged. You can barely stand.
00:26:56Come on, let's go up and come with me.
00:26:57I'm fine.
00:26:58Shut up.
00:27:02No, no. Don't take it off.
00:27:04Please don't take it off.
00:27:11Okay, we'll take it off.
00:27:13Adrian, I'm sorry.
00:27:14Why are you apologizing to me?
00:27:16I lied to you about everything. I'm not Liam.
00:27:18Shh.
00:27:19Sleep.
00:27:19Adrian, did you hear me?
00:27:20I didn't hear anything.
00:27:21I said I'm not-
00:27:21I didn't hear. Sleep.
00:27:23No matter who you are, I won't let go.
00:27:29He figured it out.
00:27:31He figured it out, but he's pretending he didn't.
00:27:34Then don't blame me.
00:27:43Adrian?
00:27:44You're awake.
00:27:45You sat here all night?
00:27:47Yeah.
00:27:47What did I say last night?
00:27:48You said you were dizzy, then you slept, that's it.
00:27:51Liam, I'll take you home.
00:27:52You don't have to-
00:27:53Shut up!
00:27:53I'm taking you home.
00:27:55Adrian?
00:27:55Yeah?
00:27:56Why didn't you touch me last night?
00:27:58Because you were drugged, I'm not that kind of person.
00:28:01When you're ready to tell me whatever it is, tell me.
00:28:03Until then, I won't ask anything.
00:28:08My beloved Liam, you're not the same Liam I knew at 14.
00:28:11You're softer, more fragile.
00:28:12Your eyes are brighter.
00:28:13When you kiss me, it's like the first time.
00:28:15Am I crazy?
00:28:16Did I fall in love with someone who doesn't exist?
00:28:18Or was he always someone I never really knew?
00:28:20I won't send it.
00:28:21Because no matter who he is, I've already given him my life.
00:28:24Liam!
00:28:25I need to tell you something.
00:28:26Last night when you were drugged.
00:28:27Yeah?
00:28:27You grabbed my wrist.
00:28:28In that moment, I saw everything clearly.
00:28:30What did you see clearly?
00:28:31I saw clearly.
00:28:32I don't care what the answer is.
00:28:33Whatever you're hiding, I won't force you to tell, but you've already given you my life.
00:28:36Let's go train.
00:28:39You're fine.
00:28:40Mia.
00:28:42I have to confess, I might be in love with two people.
00:28:44I've loved your brother for four years, been attracted to you for a week.
00:28:47Adrian.
00:28:47I used to think love meant choosing one person and loving them, but this week made me understand
00:28:50what I love isn't a gender or a body.
00:28:52What I love is a kind of soul.
00:28:54You and your brother have the same kind of soul.
00:28:55The way you both make my heart race is the same.
00:28:58Adrian.
00:28:59You're crazy.
00:29:00Yeah.
00:29:01I'm crazy.
00:29:02But Mia, I don't know who you are, but I've already recognized you.
00:29:06Take your time.
00:29:13He just opened his eyes briefly, 10 seconds, then fell back asleep.
00:29:16But the brainwaves show he could truly wake up within 48 to 72 hours.
00:29:2048 hours?
00:29:21At the earliest.
00:29:22Could be longer.
00:29:24Brother, can you hear me?
00:29:27Brother, these two months you've been in a coma, I played the entire season for you.
00:29:32Won MVP for you, argued with the coach for you.
00:29:35I accepted Adrian's confession for you.
00:29:39Brother, I'm sorry I fell in love with him.
00:29:43You heard.
00:29:45Are you blaming me?
00:29:52I'll take that as I don't blame you.
00:29:59I know.
00:29:59Mia, the league's routine physical is in three days.
00:30:02I faked it once before.
00:30:03I can't do it a second time.
00:30:04I'd lose my license and go to prison.
00:30:06I know.
00:30:07What about your brother?
00:30:08The doctor says he might wake up in 48 to 72 hours.
00:30:11That's perfect timing.
00:30:12This Saturday is the semi-finals after the game.
00:30:13Sunday is the physical.
00:30:15Mia, the semi-finals is your last game.
00:30:17After it's over, you have to end all of this yourself.
00:30:19I understand.
00:30:27You can't trap it, Dan!
00:30:29I thought you made it out!
00:30:37What's wrong with you today?
00:30:38Your eyes are red.
00:30:39Adrian, I'm begging you.
00:30:41Don't ask me any questions until after the semi-finals.
00:30:43What about after the semi-finals?
00:30:45After that, I'll tell you everything.
00:30:46All of it.
00:30:47Three days.
00:30:48Three days.
00:30:50I'll wait for you.
00:30:59Your video helps set the stage.
00:31:00I'll personally announce Adrian's transfer at halftime in the semi-finals.
00:31:03Don't interfere anymore.
00:31:04Senator, I have another card to play.
00:31:06Ten times bigger than yours.
00:31:07What do you mean?
00:31:07You'll see on semi-finals day, but let me warn you.
00:31:09You're not dealing with a Hope Sociality issue, it's an identity fraud issue.
00:31:13What are you talking about?
00:31:14See you at the semi-finals, Senator.
00:31:17Adrian, it's fine if you don't choose me, but you won't get him either.
00:31:27Semi-finals halftime schedule.
00:31:29You go on stage at 15.30, deliver a three-minute father's statement.
00:31:33The content is, Adrian will transfer to Harvard Prep at the end of the season.
00:31:38During this time, he will not maintain close contact with any St. Agustarian students.
00:31:42Subtle.
00:31:43No mention of homosexuality, no mention of that boy, but everyone understands.
00:31:49Perfect political narrative.
00:31:56Adrian will hate me, but he'll thank me.
00:32:08Dad, come out and talk!
00:32:12About you going on stage at the semi-finals.
00:32:14I agree, you can go up and say your version, but on one condition you back off from the Carter
00:32:17family.
00:32:18Deal.
00:32:19If you dare contact that kid after transferring-
00:32:21I won't!
00:32:24Liam, I'm trading three years of safety for you.
00:32:27What are you trading for me?
00:32:35Adrian, I've been jealous for four years.
00:32:37That look was never for me.
00:32:40But from today on, you won't see him either.
00:32:43Brother, tomorrow is the semi-finals.
00:32:46I'll play my last game.
00:32:47Then I'll go on stage myself and tell everyone the truth.
00:32:51I know you don't want me to do this, but Marcus is about to expose me.
00:32:56Rather than let him expose me, I'll do it myself.
00:33:00You've decided you'll expose yourself after the semi-finals?
00:33:04Yes.
00:33:05In that moment, you'll lose everything.
00:33:07Your enrollment, reputation, Adrian.
00:33:11I know.
00:33:12Why?
00:33:13Because none of this was mine to begin with.
00:33:15I'm just a substitute.
00:33:16Mia, you're not a substitute.
00:33:18These three months your brother's been in a coma.
00:33:20Every game you played, every tackle you took, every I love you you said, those were all yours.
00:33:24You weren't living for Liam.
00:33:26You lived an extra three months in your own life.
00:33:33Aunt Sarah, thank you for walking with me through these three months.
00:33:38Tomorrow at the semi-finals, I'll be waiting for you on the sides.
00:33:46You've decided?
00:33:47Yes, tomorrow on stage.
00:33:51Do you need me there?
00:33:54No, I don't want you to see.
00:33:57Mom is proud of you.
00:33:59Mom, tomorrow I'll have nothing.
00:34:01No.
00:34:02Tomorrow is when you'll truly have yourself.

01:03:09it's the past mia i've loved him since i was 14. those four years can't disappear overnight
01:03:15because i told you about the dream no adrian sometimes i'm afraid afraid i'm just my brother's
01:03:20shadow you love my brother for four years i lived as him for three months am i with you because
01:03:24i got
01:03:24used to the role of being liam when did this doubt start since our first date you never told me
01:03:33i wasn't
01:03:34sure if it was real doubt myself mia we need to talk about this today we can't pretend it doesn't
01:03:41exist
01:03:41during those three months playing your brother was there a voice inside saying i like this role
01:03:44yes i liked how you looked at me liked being that person in your heart i'll answer you too being
01:03:49with
01:03:50you now is there a voice saying she reminds me of liam yes but that voice gets quieter first week
01:03:54ten times a day second week five times now once a month your doubt is healthy but it's not real
01:03:59because the person i want when i wake up is you every day it's you dreams aren't desire being awake
