00:01Out of the way.
00:08Oh no, not again.
00:12You're such a freak.
00:13No one likes you.
00:15Hey, freak!
00:26Ouch!
00:27That hurts so bad.
00:30Oh my god, are you okay?
00:31Does it hurt a lot?
00:33I'm so sorry.
00:35It's all my fault.
00:36I left the locker open.
00:38Wait, you said sorry to me?
00:40I'm Mia.
00:41And you must be Elliot, right?
00:45How do you know my name?
00:46I've never talked to you.
00:48It's a small school, and you're really cute.
00:52Is this some kind of prank?
00:54Are there cameras hidden somewhere?
00:56No way!
00:57I just want to say hi to you.
00:59Caleb, come on, let's go!
01:05See you later at school, Elliot.
01:22Hi Elliot, how's your day going?
01:24Wait, you're sure you want to sit here?
01:26Sitting with me is social suicide in this school.
01:28I don't care about any of that.
01:31Fine.
01:32Your funeral then.
01:35Tell me about Vancouver.
01:37Is it really that beautiful?
01:38Hey, Elliot.
01:44Heads up, Farrony!
01:45Can't you avoid anything?
01:52Mia, don't.
01:53Please don't do this.
01:54Hold my juice.
01:55Don't move.
02:01What will you do, little princess?
02:06It hurts!
02:12Don't you dare hurt him again.
02:14Never.
02:22Say it again louder!
02:28Sit down, all of you.
02:36Mia Hunter!
02:37My office, right now!
02:39It's totally worth it.
02:48Oh no, oh no.
02:50She's going to get in so much trouble.
02:53Mia!
02:54Don't leave it the farce!
02:59I'm okay.
03:00Don't worry about me.
03:01What happened?
03:02Tell me everything.
03:04Did you get expelled?
03:05Or something worse?
03:07Don't panic.
03:08Just suspended for this week.
03:12Mia, I'm so sorry.
03:14This is all my fault.
03:14I shouldn't have let you get involved.
03:16Stop it.
03:17Don't say that again.
03:17You're my friend, Elliot.
03:19No excuses.
03:20But we just met a few days ago.
03:23You're real to me, more real than anyone else.
03:27You're my friend and that's a deal.
03:28I'm really sorry again for everything.
03:32You have to walk me out of school.
03:37I'm calling Caleb to pick me up.
03:38Will you be okay when you get home?
03:40Mom won't care at all.
03:41She never does.
03:41Promise you'll text me when you get home, okay?
03:43I'll text you every five minutes.
03:44You'll get annoyed.
03:49I'm here.
03:53Bye, Elliot.
03:54See you next week.
04:01Bye.
04:01Bye.
04:02Bye.

04:30Bye.
04:31Bye.
04:31Are you kidding me?
04:32Please, let me explain.
04:33It's not what you think.
04:35Enough.
04:35Negative, Mark.
04:37And you have detention after school.
04:56Heads up, Barney.
05:04Goodbye, Jim.
05:09Watch it, nerd.
05:10Don't block our way.
05:13I'm not a nerd.
05:14Stop calling me that.
05:15And you're just faking rude.
05:22Bye, little fairy.
05:28You used to improve your insults a lot.
05:32When did you arrive?
05:33How long have you been there?
05:34Long enough to see everything?
05:43I didn't study at all.
05:44I was suspended.
05:45Me neither.
05:46I was too worried about you.
05:57I was too worried about you.
06:03What?
06:04What do you want?
06:07I'm fine.
06:08Just leave me alone.
06:10Are you mad at me?
06:11Did I do something wrong?
06:13You never listen to me.
06:15It's like talking to a wall.
06:20Elliot, I'm so sorry.
06:23I never had friends before.
06:31Test starts now.
06:34No talking.
06:35No moving.
06:44We're screwed.
06:53I don't know anything.
07:01Interesting effort, Mr. Moore.
07:04Very interesting.
07:14That's not a serving.
07:16That's a pool.
07:19Don't judge my choices.
07:32Are you okay, man?
07:33You look so stupid.
07:38Wait for me.
07:38I'm exhausted.
07:40You okay?
07:41You look terrible.
07:42I need water so bad.
07:44You want me to throw you in the lake?
07:47No, no way.
07:49Don't you dare.
07:52Yes.
07:56You're so unfair.
08:00Adrenaline is working.
08:12This is really nice.
08:15Yeah.
08:16We should do this more.
08:38Come here.
08:39Right now.
08:40Right now.
08:50It's Derek.
08:51He's back.
08:53What does he want from me?
09:02Who is Derek?
09:03Tell me.
09:09He's Mia's arranged fiance.
09:11He has stalked her for months.
09:13He tried to assault her.
09:19Why not tell your parents?
09:21Our dad is dead.
09:22He can't help us.
09:25Mom made the marriage deal.
09:27We'll handle this together.
09:29I'm not leaving you two.
09:31You don't know the risk.
09:32You're my friends.
09:33I care.
09:47No, let me sleep.
09:49Wake up right now.
09:50No way.
09:51I'm not getting up.
09:52It's game day.
09:53You're coming.
09:54I don't know anything about soccer.
09:55God, give me something.
10:01Come on, Elliot.
10:02We're here.
10:03Why is everyone so loud?
10:05Game day.
10:06Game day.
10:07Game day.
10:08Game day.
10:09I'm going to miss biology.
10:11Relax.
10:12You'll make it.
10:14Hey, Caleb.
10:15Hey.
10:18You're in Mia's seat.
10:20She asked me to watch you.
10:21I don't need a baby shitter.
10:23She predicted you'd say that.
10:30Open your books.
10:31Today we continue cell structure and genetics.
10:35DNA is a double helix, which looks like a twisted ladder.
10:42Do I have a choice?
10:48In the first phase of mitosis, the Keralage condenses.
10:52They're on the Mation cross groups.
11:04Time's up.
11:06Please pass your drafts forward.
11:08Turn in what you have.
11:11Elliot?
11:12This opening is really strong.
11:26You're slow.
11:27You waited for me?
11:30Mia's gone.
11:31I walk you.
11:32I'm not a puppy.
11:33Debatable.
11:41How's your essay?
11:42Fine.
11:45Good or just your name?
11:52I write about architecture.
11:55Architecture?
11:56Buildings make people feel small.
11:59That's really interesting.
12:01You don't know me.
12:07I want to know you.
12:14Let's go.
12:15Game soon.
12:18Go, Summit!
12:21Which one is Kerala?
12:23Number seven, look at him!
12:31Let's go far away.
12:32They all look the same.
12:32Number seven, on the wing.
12:46It's a beautiful goal!
12:49And that's my brother!
13:07Kerala!
13:13Oh, my God!
13:20Oh, my God!
13:21Step back, please.
13:22He's my brother. Let us in.
13:25Who is this guy?
13:26He's his boyfriend.
13:27Please, let us in.
13:28Hop in quickly. We need to move.
13:31Watch your step. Keep monitoring his breathing.
13:33I'm here. I'm right here.
13:37We're moving.
13:40Please, stay with us.
14:11Where are you? Why haven't you come home?
14:15Mom, I'm at the hospital.
14:17What's wrong, honey? Tell me what happened.
14:21Caleb got hurt at the game.
14:23He's in surgery right now.
14:25I'm so scared.
14:27I don't know what to do.
14:28Don't be afraid. I'm coming right now.
14:53Breakfast is coming. You two look like ghosts.
14:56I can't feel my face.
14:57Same.
14:58Eat first. Then you can collapse dramatically.
15:03Thanks, Mom. Seriously.
15:05Thank you, Mrs. Moore. This is really kind.
15:07Eat as much as you can. Both of you need fuel.
15:21Wait. Let's stop at my house first.
15:23Why? We need to go to the hospital.
15:25I have to feed Shadow, Kaylee's cat.
15:28Kaylee has a cat? No way.
15:31He loves that cat more than anything.
15:34Wow. Secret cat dad.
15:37Yeah, but all the do you want to know.
15:39Hey, Shadow.
15:41I know I'm late.
16:10Elliot? You up there?
16:12Yeah, coming.
16:24Surgery went very well.
16:28The full recovery takes two years.
16:31No soccer, no high-impact sports forever.
16:46No soccer means no scholarship, no future.
16:55Scouts and schools can wait for you.
16:59Don't. Just don't.
17:07He's shutting down completely.
17:09Soccer was his whole world.
17:11Not everything to him.
17:14You're more than just soccer, Kaylee.
17:19I've seen your architectural sketches.
17:22You've seen my sketches?
17:23I accidentally opened it at your house.
17:26Which one did you see?
17:30The buildings and bridges, they're beautiful.
17:35Don't tell anyone about them.
17:39Fold the chocolate chips gently.
17:45Gentle is my middle name.
17:48Your middle name is Chaos.
18:04We made you homemade cookies.
18:09Is that my shirt you're wearing?
18:12Mia gave it to me.
18:13I didn't steal it.
18:14Or you're just very small.
18:17I'm normal size.
18:22You look like a kid in dad's shirt.
18:37My cookies are ruined.
18:39They're just cookies.
18:40Calm down.
18:41They were my children.
18:43I'll make you more.
18:52New cookies.
18:53Slightly burnt.
18:59These are actually really good.
19:01Really?
19:02You mean it?
19:03Don't get a big head.
19:15No, that sounds stupid.
19:18Why is this so hard?
19:27My leg hurts.
19:30I can't sleep.
19:33I can come over.
19:35Right now.
19:36No, don't.
19:37I'm fine.
19:55Midnight visit.
19:57That's romantic.
19:58Shut up.
19:58He's hurt.
20:00Sure you are.
20:10How bad is the pain?
20:12Seven out of ten.
20:13I'll live.
20:17What's that notebook you're holding?
20:20Nothing.
20:21Just my writing.
20:23Can I read it?
20:24Absolutely not.
20:26I showed you my sketches.
20:28Page 42 only.
20:29Don't you dare laugh.
20:35It's the most honest thing I've ever read.
20:37Take your time.
20:45Good step, Caleb.
20:47You're doing great.
20:52Good.
20:53Hold it.
20:54Breathe.
20:56One more step.
21:03Oh!
21:04I've got you.
21:05Damn it!
21:07Caleb.
21:09At home, keep the steps slow.
21:12No forcing the injured leg.
21:14Okay.
21:14I understand.
21:18That was great progress.
21:23Don't patronize me.
21:29Six steps is amazing.
21:31You will do it again.
21:39I can wheel myself.
21:41I'd be awkward alone.
21:42You're always awkward.
21:43It's my brand.
21:49You're ahead of schedule.
21:51It's not fast enough.
22:16You're here.
22:17Is that me?
22:21One more.
22:22you. Was that me? No. Generic figure study. That's my hoodie. I'm observant. You drew
22:36me before? Caleb. You're around a lot. It's a big deal to me.
23:01Your chocolate is cold? Yeah. How's anatomy practice? You were listening? Walls are thin.
23:13He's a bad liar. It means nothing. He draws you. Buildings. Cat.
23:22I need a crisis. He draws you. You're around a lot. Mia, what happened? Derek showed up at your helm?
23:47Mom? Kaylee handled him. He threatened to call cops. He's on crutcheses. He's terrifying,
23:56even hurt. File a police report. Mom won't help us.
24:09We document everything. We're 18. We don't need her. Since when are you brave? Since you're
24:17in danger. You love him, don't you? He loves you, too.
24:39Mia told you. Are you okay?
24:44He's a coward. You don't know that. I can't lose you. We handle this together.
24:57Together. Okay. Together.
25:07How long has this lasted? Over a year. Dad died. Derek's dad forced marriage.
25:19Your mom knows? Our mom facilitated it. That's a serious allegation. It's a serious situation.
25:33He came to our house three nights ago. I'll file the report and get a restraining order.
25:41Are you safe at home? We manage. I can't believe we did it. I just sat there.
25:55You drove us and organized evidence. They're minor. Shut up and take credit.
26:11Thank you for pushing us. You don't have to thank me. After dad died, no one fought for us like
26:20that.
26:21Then I'll be here every time. Have fun, guys.
26:34Horror, comedy, or romance? Comedy.
26:40Horror. You're serious? Romance it is. No.
26:50Too late.
26:59Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss. They can't hear you.
27:03I'm manifesting.
27:22You're serious.
27:22Terrible movie.
27:23The worst.
27:25You cried at the airport scene.
27:29Popcorn in my eye.
27:32Both eyes.
27:33Very aggressive popcorn.
