00:01Too easy.
00:10Lead is nine seconds.
00:12Keep your pace.
00:14Relax.
00:15Dry Creek didn't send a riff.
00:16They sent a joke.
00:33Big John, I can't see her.
00:35Race control lost her signal too.
00:36She may have gone down at Coffin Drop.
00:38Safety team is moving.
00:39She did it to herself.
00:40Continue.
01:05No fucking way.
01:10Found you.
01:18Who the hell are you?
01:35You want to pass me, then die trying.
01:39Hard break, force a rear N-Ed collision, then shove me off the cliff.
01:45With the cameras dead, my death becomes a racing accident.
01:50Too bad you picked the wrong way.
01:54Fuck.
02:03No, no, don't fucking...
02:05You tried to kill me first.
02:07No!
02:26No!
02:31Are you kidding me?
02:32The feed cuts out right at the best part.
02:36Justin's got this anyway.
02:38That little girl pup started crying ten turns ago.
02:42Lighting racing teams got this locked.
02:44The odds are basically frozen.
02:46Honestly, it's a miracle she even made it this far.
02:48Those eyes, they look just like Veda's.
02:52No way.
02:53There's no way she's Veda.
02:54No way, what?
02:55Veda doesn't race.
02:57She used to shake just looking at me.
02:59Dude, she's seriously messing with your head.
03:09Come on, it's over.
03:11Justin won.
03:12Let's go.
03:12There's no suspense left.
03:15An Omega family's little girl running dust line?
03:17It was a joke from the start.
03:22Ridge.
03:26Let's go.
03:36Shed didn't actually crash.
03:39Did she?
03:41Shut up.
03:42Shh.
03:45Told you.
03:46Dry creeks had nobody left, so they sent a freshman out here to die.
03:51Justin probably scared her off the cliff.
03:54Watch your mouth.
03:56What, you still think she's coming back?
04:00Breck, I'm sorry.
04:02I should have never let her get in that car.
04:09There he is.
04:10Justin's back.
04:20Come on, come on.
04:36No, wait, that's not the Porsche.
04:39What do you mean, not the Porsche?
04:43That's the Nissan Z.
04:49No fucking way.
04:51Where the hell is Justin?
04:54She won by the one, holy shit!
04:56Tell me I'm not hallucinating!
04:59Wreck his sister?
05:01Beat Justin Bennett?
05:11Who is she?
05:12Get her name, get her face!
05:14She just killed Justin's record!
05:16Unknown Racer beats Justin Bennett.
05:19By some rise, every racing blogger in California will want my face.
05:24Vada, that was insane!
05:26Do you understand what you just did?
05:27You didn't just win!
05:28You humiliated him!
05:31Drove like the devil owed you money?
05:33Actually, no, like the devil borrowed your car and you wanted it back.
05:36Bodhi.
05:37Right, too much, sorry.
05:38But also, holy shit.
05:42Freck is gonna lose his mind!
05:44Dry Creek hasn't had a win like this in years!
05:49What?
05:51I need a minute.
05:52Now, people are looking for you.
05:54Exactly.
05:56Uh, that is not the parking lot.
05:58Then don't follow me.
06:25You tried to turn my death into an accident.
06:29Should have picked someone easier to kill.
06:37Someone's here.
06:40Keller Whitlock, Alpha of Kodiak Ash Pack.
06:44Kodiak Ash and Krumah Scar had bad blood for years.
06:47Territory, trade routes, old bodies buried on both sides.
06:51In my old life, I wouldn't have feared him.
06:54But in this weak 15-year-old body, with Harrow still silent, I can't take him head on.
07:00Long way from the finish line, little racer.
07:03I got lost.
07:07I heard a crash.
07:08I didn't know anyone was here.
07:12Most lost girls don't climb down sinkholes in racing boots.
07:21Please.
07:22I just want to go home.
07:27Alpha.
07:29You're scared.
07:30Yes.
07:32No, you're not.
07:34Run home, little dove.
07:40Alpha.
07:41You touched her.
07:43You don't touch anyone.
07:44Not like that.
07:48I know.
07:54Alpha, you executed Miranda for crossing the six-foot rule.
07:57She was Pack.
07:58That girl is a stranger.
07:59I know.
08:00She was lying.
08:01Every breath, every tear.
08:03She played scared.
08:04Because she knew you were deciding whether to kill her.
08:07I know.
08:09I know.
08:10Let her go.
08:15He saw through me, and still let me go.
08:18Keller Whitlock.
08:19Trouble.
08:20Real trouble.
08:29Wada.
08:30Oh my god, Wada.
08:31You're here too.
08:33Clearly.
08:34I mean, it's just funny.
08:36Used to follow Ridge everywhere, remember?
08:40Sloan.
08:40What?
08:41Everyone knows.
08:43Relax.
08:44I'm not here for your boyfriend.
08:45Right.
08:46Sure.
08:46I outgrew bad taste.
08:48You should try it sometime.
08:52Damn.
08:54Anyway, we just came from Cinderwash Circuit.
08:56You probably wouldn't understand, but there was this insane female driver tonight.
09:00She beat Justin Bennett.
09:01Like, destroyed him.
09:02At first, everyone thought she was done.
09:04Then she came out of nowhere in a Nissan Z.
09:08Handled dead man's stretch like a pro.
09:11And crossed the finish line before Justin.
09:13It was honestly iconic.
09:16You should have seen her.
09:18Fearless.
09:18That girl was fearless.
09:20Nothing like...
09:23Well, nothing like you used to be.
09:26Thanks.
09:28For what?
09:30For the review.
09:33Wait.
09:33What does that mean?
09:36No way.
09:37She's bluffing.
09:37Exactly.
09:38She wishes.
09:39Wada Mercer, you should have stayed pathetic.
09:42Now I'm going to ruin you.
09:47Cinderwash Circuit has never seen anything like that.
09:50You're a legend now.
09:54Less talking.
09:56Drive.
09:59Nope.
10:00I'm telling Breck every single detail.
10:09She came through the finish line like the devil was chasing her.
10:12No.
10:13Like the devil was scared of her.
10:15You actually won it for me.
10:20For the family.
10:22Please don't tell mom.
10:24Or dad.
10:25Or Beck.
10:26If they know I raced hurt, I'm dead.
10:28I'll keep it quiet.
10:30For now.
10:33If you go off doing something dangerous on your own again, I'm not helping you next time.
10:39That's fair.
10:45She's different, Amos.
10:47The way she talks.
10:48The way she looks at people.
10:49It's like she isn't our Vada.
10:51Maybe the fall changed her.
10:53What if it's trauma?
10:55What if we need a doctor?
10:56I read about dissociative identity disorder.
11:02She's alive.
11:03That's what matters.
11:15Eat before class.
11:17Don't argue.
11:19Yes, mom.
11:23Listen up.
11:25All Freshmater are going to Camp Relweaver next week for a one-week wilderness survival program.
11:31Dude, camping?
11:32No school?
11:33Outdoor education.
11:35Cold nights.
11:36Bad food.
11:37Weak kids pretending nature is fun.
11:43Here.
11:44Eighty dollars.
11:45We're done, okay?
11:47Good girl.
11:54Remind me never to owe you money.
11:58Today, we're doing pair dialogues.
12:01Two spudents at a time.
12:02You'll read the prompt, improvise in Spanish, and I'll grade pronunciation and response.
12:15Oh, my God.
12:17You kicked my phone.
12:19Try harder.
12:21Your setups suck.
12:23Sarah and Vada, is there a problem?
12:29No problem, senora.
12:31Actually, I'd love to partner with Vada for the dialogue.
12:35Vada for Spanish.
12:37She can barely pass.
12:39Vada, don't do it.
12:41And she's setting you up.
12:42What?
12:42I'm just being nice?
12:45Vada never talks in Spanish class.
12:47Maybe she needs practice.
12:49Vada, are you comfortable with that?
12:52This counts toward participation?
12:56Vada, are you comfortable with that?
12:56Debemos formular, you're in Zik.
12:58Kimura on premier.
13:01God!
13:03I'm comfortable.
13:11You're comfortable?
13:13Since when?
13:14Since now.
13:16Great.
13:16Let's make it simple for her, senora.
13:19Maybe ordering food?
13:25Before we start, Spanish only.
13:28No English.
13:29Clear?
13:31Clear, senora.
13:34Clear.
13:36Please don't crash and burn.
13:39Hola, Vada.
13:41¿Cómo estás hoy?
13:47Estoy bastante bien.
13:49Mejor de lo que esperaba.
13:51Considerando que alguien intentó humillerme antes del almuerzo.
13:58Holy shit.
14:00That was fluent.
14:01Since when does Vada speak Spanish?
14:07¿Qué pasó, Seren?
14:08¿Pensaste que iba a quedarme aquí como una idiota mientras tú te lucías del flante de todos?
14:16Yo, yo solo quería practicar.
14:20No.
14:21Querías una audiencia.
14:23Querías que todos se rilleran de mí.
14:29Seren, respond in Spanish.
14:32I, I mean, Spanish, Seren.
14:35Lo siento.
14:36No puedo seguir.
14:37All right, let's give both students a round of applause.
14:48She tried to set Vada up and got wrecked.
14:50That was brutal.
14:56Okay, seriously, what the hell?
14:59Racing, fighting, now Spanish?
15:02Did you unlock premium mode?
15:06Maybe I did.
15:10You people are excited now.
15:13Wait until they wake us up at six and make us run in dirt.
15:16Stop being dramatic.
15:17It's Camp Redwood, not prison.
15:19That's what they want you to think.
15:21Seven days of outdoor education.
15:23Log cabs, ropes cabs, ropes courses, rock climbing, forest trails.
15:28For these kids, it's an adventure.
15:30For me, it's just a child-sized version of survival training.
15:53Keller Whitlock, Kodiak Ash Pack Alpha.
15:56Why is he here?
15:58Wada, what are you looking at?
16:00Nothing.
16:04If I die here, tell my mom I hated nature.
16:08You're not dying.
16:10That's what people say before dying.
16:14Welcome to Camp Redwood.
16:16I'm Jake Morrison, your head counselor for the week.
16:21For the next seven days, you'll be doing rope courses, climbing, hiking, lake training, survival skills, and team challenges.
16:30You follow staff rules, you stay with your group, and you do not wander into restricted areas.
16:35Got it?
16:36Yes!
16:36Well, well, girls on the left, boys on the right.
16:40Find your cabin, drop your bags, change into camp uniform.
16:45You've got 30 minutes.
16:50What?
16:51Different cabin.
16:54No.
16:55Seriously?
16:57Seriously?
17:05Who would do this?
17:07My sleeping bag is completely ruined.
17:19What's going on?
17:21Someone cut up my sleeping bag.
17:23I only brought one.
17:25What am I supposed to sleep in?
17:26I found these under Vada's mattress.
17:30Wait, Vada did it?
17:32That's messed up.
17:33Why would you do this to me?
17:40That's your evidence?
17:42A pair of scissors under my bed?
17:44Where else would they come from?
17:46Vada was with me the whole time.
17:48We went to the camp store together.
17:49She never came back here.
17:51You're her friend.
17:52Of course you'd cover for her.
17:54I just want her to admit it.
17:57Vada, did you cut her sleeping dag?
18:00If I say no, are you actually going to listen?
18:02This isn't attitude time.
18:04You damaged another student's property.
18:06Tomorrow, extra punishment drill.
18:08Right now, apologize.
18:10Are you kidding me?
18:11She didn't do it.
18:12Junie, step back.
18:14No.
18:15Excuse me?
18:17I said no.
18:21I don't apologize for things I didn't do.
18:27You're done arguing.
18:29Apologize.
18:30Now.
18:45Don't touch me.
18:46I don't like being touched.
18:48And I'm only saying this once.
18:50I didn't cut her sleeping bag.
18:51Holy shit!
18:53She just dropped Jake!
18:54Bro, that was insane.
18:56With moves like that, why would she sneak around cutting a sleeping bag?
19:00Yeah.
19:01This whole thing smells like a setup.
19:03Wait.
19:04Jake, I think I made a mistake.
19:09What mistake?
19:10My sleeping bag.
19:13Maybe it wasn't Vada.
19:15I just remembered it was already damaged when I packed.
19:18I must have grabbed the wrong one from home.
19:20So you screamed?
19:22Accused her and let everyone attack her over a maybe?
19:25Seriously?
19:26I said I made a mistake.
19:31Vada, I'm sorry.
19:34I misread the situation.
19:35That was on me.
19:44I don't accept your apology.
19:48And you?
19:50I'll remember this.
19:57Vada?
19:58Are you okay?
19:59I'm fine.
20:02Good.
20:03Because when I find Bodhi, I'm going to kill him.
20:06Where the hell was he?
20:07The one time you actually need backup, he disappears.
20:11So this is what it feels like to have someone standing by your side.
20:15Alpha.
20:16Extraction team is standing by.
20:20You've been watching her all day.
20:23An alpha who rejected all women and viewed intimate relationships as a weaks.
20:27Yet, he made an exception for her.
20:30If this was the instinct of a fated mate,
20:32the old matriarch must know.
20:35Vada Mercer could be the future mate of the Kodiak Ray Wolf Pax Alpha.
20:47Tonight's night shooting competition is going to be insane.
20:50Tactical gear, paintball rifles, forest fight.
20:54Finally, something fun.
20:55Great.
20:56Nothing says safe educational program like giving freshman guns in the woods.
21:02They're paintball rifles genius.
21:05Still, this is how documentaries start.
21:09Paintball rifles.
21:11Cute.
21:12They didn't call me the dead shot.
21:14Because I missed.
21:21After dinner, you get one hour of free time.
21:24Bathroom, snacks, whatever.
21:25Then, everyone meets here.
21:28And we head to the shooting range.
21:30Got it?
21:31Yes.
21:38Sloan, I heard you took real shooting lessons.
21:41You're totally going to be the star tonight.
21:43Teach us, please.
21:44We're going to embarrass ourselves.
21:49I mean, I'm not that good.
21:50I just know how to hold a rifle without looking terrified.
21:55Some people freeze under pressure.
21:57It's not their fault.
21:58They're just not built for it.
22:00Wow.
22:01She's exhausting.
22:02Come on, don't let her get in your head.
22:04She didn't.
22:05Good.
22:06Because she wants you upset.
22:09I had zero interest in this game.
22:11Now.
22:12Now I wanted to see her face
22:14when she learned the difference between lessons and war.
22:25All right, listen up.
22:27Tonight is a forest shooting competition.
22:28You'll be divided into three teams.
22:30Red, yellow, and blue helmets.
22:33Same color means teammate.
22:35Different color means enemy.
22:41Each rifle fires paint rounds.
22:43If paint marks your clothes, you're eliminated.
22:45You return to the assembly point immediately.
22:47No arguing, no revenge shots, no hero speeches.
22:51So basically we die dramatically and walk back in shame.
22:54Please, don't die in the first five minutes.
22:56The game ends when only one color team remains.
23:00That team wins.
23:07Wada, seriously, what's the plan?
23:11You two hide.
23:13Stay low.
23:14Don't make noise.
23:15Wait.
23:16You're not hiding with us?
23:19No.
23:20I'm going hunting.
23:25Sloan, you've got this.
23:27Show everyone what real shooting looks like.
23:30Yeah, you're literally the best shot here.
23:33Relax.
23:33I've got it covered.
23:42I believe in you, Sloan.
23:44Thanks, babe.
23:54What the hell?
23:56What the hell?
23:58What the hell?
24:12You think you can humiliate me, you psycho bitch?
24:19Sloan, stop.
24:20You're out.
24:21I don't care.
24:22I'm not letting her win.
24:24What the hell are you doing?
24:27Predictable.
24:31Holy shit.
24:32She's running straight at her.
24:33She's going to get hit.
24:39No way.
24:47Get off me, Ridge.
24:48Do something.
24:49You were eliminated.
24:51Then you fired anyway.
24:53It's just a game.
24:54Then why are you shaking?
24:56Please.
24:57Vada.
24:58Okay, I'm sorry.
24:59Just let me up.
25:01No, no, no.
25:02Please don't.
25:03I'm sorry.
25:04I swear I'm sorry.
25:05Vada.
25:06Funny.
25:07You liked rules that make the touch of you.
25:13Oh my God.
25:23Yo, Vada.
25:24We're on the same team.
25:25Whoa, whoa, whoa.
25:26Blue helmet.
25:27Same team.
25:28Please don't shoot me.
25:31Don't sneak up on me.
25:33Noted.
25:34Never sneaking up on the scary hot girl again.
25:36Too soon.
25:38Oh shit.
25:55Evening.
25:55You guys from the northern base?
25:57Staff Captain Harrison, 75th Rangers.
25:59We're using the north perimeter tonight.
26:02Cooperation agreement.
26:03We've got Madabra Ridge freshmen out there.
26:06They're just kids.
26:08Real Rangers might be a little intense.
26:11Relax.
26:12We'll keep it clean.
26:13Might teach them something.
26:15Fine.
26:15Black helmets mean you're a special team.
26:17But don't traumatize my freshmen.
26:20Especially him.
26:21It's paintball, Jake.
26:23How bad can it get?
26:45Oh shit.
26:46Someone's shooting at us.
26:48Stay down.
26:50No way.
26:52No way.
26:54Nice shot.
26:55Too bad you missed.
26:58When the hell did you...
27:02You're out.
27:11These kids have no field awareness.
27:13Too loud.
27:13Too slow.
27:14No discipline.
27:15They're freshmen cap, not recruits.
27:18Liam.
27:19Who hit you?
27:20A girl.
27:21Blue helmet.
27:22She moved like an operator.
27:24A freshman girl?
27:26Captain, I'm serious.
27:27She's hunting us.
27:46Cover!
27:47Move!
27:48Move!
27:52Total wipe.
27:58Who the hell are you?
28:00Someone who wants to finish the game.
28:03Your stealth.
28:04Reaction time.
28:06Target judgment.
28:07None of that belongs to a freshman.
28:09Then forget you saw it.
28:11Staff Captain Harrison.
28:1375th Rangers.
28:14When you turn 18, if you pass selection, call me.
28:19I can make sure you get a real shot.
28:21Captain, she's a kid.
28:22I'm not recruiting you today.
28:24I'm offering a future.
28:26I already lived on a blade once, not walking back into that cage.
28:30No.
28:31You sure?
28:32I'm sure.
28:34But I'll keep this.
28:35And Captain, your team didn't get wiped by a freshman girl tonight.
28:40Understood.
28:42Never happened.
28:43Good.
28:49Blue team wins the jungle combat exercise.
29:03Honey, you're finally home.
29:06I made your favorite.
29:07How was the scram?
29:09Anyone try to kill you?
29:10Not successfully.
29:12That's weirdly specific.
29:13Your dad got good news at work.
29:15If everything goes well, we can pay the debt down faster.
29:20Mercer family finally caught a break.
29:24Oh, right.
29:26Vada, this is Graham.
29:27There's been some trouble with rogues nearby, and the Pax are forming a temporary alliance.
29:32Alpha Garrison Maddox arranged for him to stay with us for a while.
29:35He'll use the guest room, just until things settle down.
29:38Graham, no.
29:40That's Keller Whitlock?
29:42Why is he at my house?
29:44Why is he at my house?
29:52Honey, go change.
29:54Wear the blue dress.
29:57Where are we going?
29:58Uncle Orse's housewarming barbecue.
30:01Mr. Harrison will be there.
30:03Maybe he can invest.
30:16Vada, I asked for the dress.
30:17I heard you.
30:25Watch all you want.
30:26Just don't touch my family.
30:53Mr. Harrison.
30:55I'm Amos Mercer.
30:57I was hoping to speak with you about...
31:11That outfit is...
31:13Brave.
31:15Mom, my orthodontist is Wednesday, right?
31:18$6,000, but totally worth it.
31:21Some families just don't have those options.
31:25Is Matarada or Ringe still doing those cheap field trips?
31:28Our private school went to New York.
31:30Ashley, be kind.
31:32Public school is fine when people are struggling.
31:38You're right, Aunt Karen.
31:39Education matters.
31:43Too bad Ashley's learning cruelty instead of class.
31:46Braces don't fix an ugly mouth.
31:48Private school doesn't fix a cheap soul.
31:50And money doesn't make you better than a man who still stands up after life kicks him down.
32:04Is that Amos Mercer's daughter?
32:17The Asian logistics sector is too volatile right now.
32:21Traditional warehousing is already overcrowded, but Southeast Asia still has growth.
32:26If we wait, competitors move first.
32:29Growth doesn't mean profit.
32:30Bad infrastructure can burn $50 million overnight.
32:34The opportunity didn't disappear.
32:36It moved.
32:39Excuse me.
32:40Traditional logistics is saturated.
32:42The real gap is cold chain logistics in Southeast Asia.
32:46You know what cold chain logistics means?
32:51Temperature-controlled storage and transport.
32:54Food, vaccines, insulin, biologics.
32:57The region needs it, but the infrastructure can't keep up.
33:00Go on.
33:02Warehouses are easy.
33:03Power stability is the problem.
33:05Don't build alone.
33:07Form a syndicate with local companies.
33:09Let local ownership handle regulation and government relationships.
33:13Foreign capital provides technology transfer, refrigeration systems, and quality control.
33:19That would reduce political risk.
33:24Mr. Harrison, I hope Veda isn't bothering you.
33:28She's only a freshman.
33:29And she goes to Matter Ridge High School, public school.
33:33She probably just heard a few business words online.
33:36Her grades have never been strong.
33:38And with Amos' fraud scandal still hanging over the family, I'm sure things are confusing for her.
33:44That is not a freshman's answer.
33:47She probably memorized it!
33:50I didn't ask you.
33:56You mocked her school, her grades, and her family.
34:00Yet in five minutes, she gave me a cleaner strategy than half the consultants I pay.
34:04She probably just repeated something she read.
34:06Stop embarrassing yourself.
34:07The more you speak, the clearer it becomes that your family mistook tuition for education and manners for character.
34:14You looked down on a girl because her father was struggling.
34:16She defended him with facts, courage, and integrity.
34:20You defended yourself with gossip.
34:22That doesn't make your daughter superior.
34:24It makes your asshole look small.
34:29Amos Mercer.
34:33Yes, sir.
34:38Your daughter has rare judgment.
34:40A man who raised a girl like that has something money can't buy.
34:43I...
34:43I don't know what to say.
34:46Call me Monday.
34:47I have a consulting project.
34:49I need someone with integrity and a family that understands pressure.
34:55I won't waste this chance.
34:58The thing you left with me is still at my mountain house.
35:01Pick it up before you go.
35:07My head's killing me.
35:11And my stomach.
35:14We're going to the hospital.
35:15Now.
35:16Let Vada come with us.
35:17We'll grab it and send her home.
35:20I'll be fine.
35:32Bullshit.
35:41Is it them, Orson?
35:43Please tell me it's not them.
35:46So you knew this could happen?
35:50Everybody out.
35:51Now.
36:03Sawtooth syndicate rogues.
36:07You should have stayed loyal, Orson.
36:10Run!
36:11Into the woods!
36:12Don't look back!
36:30We shift.
36:31We hold them off.
36:32The kids run.
36:36I'm sorry, Vada.
36:37I brought you into this.
36:39I'm sorry.
36:40I brought you into this.
36:44No one runs tonight.
36:50What?
36:56That's impossible.
36:58She's an Omega's daughter.
37:03Cleanup won't be a problem, right, Uncle Orson?
37:06Yeah.
37:07I'll handle it.
37:08Good.
37:09Then try not to blink.
37:13I'll kill you.
37:23Get back!
37:25Get back!
37:28Get back!
37:29Get back!
37:30Get back!
37:31Get back!
37:32Get back!
37:46Dad, what is she?
37:51Bad dog.
38:12Too slow.
38:13Too slow?
38:15This body is still weak.
38:17Harvo is still asleep.
38:19I can't shift.
38:20I can't even use half of what I had.
38:24Drink this, please.
38:30Thanks.
38:41Those men didn't come for your father.
38:43They came for me.
38:45I figured.
38:47I'm senior enforcer for the Saw, Sinatun Syndicate.
39:01You're not surprised.
39:03A man with this much money, this many guns, and that many enemies?
39:06Not hard to figure out.
39:08Sawtooth Synthet controls half the West Coast underground.
39:11Casinos, fight pits, black markets, smuggling routes.
39:15Normal kids don't understand that in ten seconds.
39:17Good thing I'm not normal.
39:23Then what are you?
39:26I'm Amos Mercer and Lorna Mercer's daughter.
39:29That's all you need to know.
39:31You keep my secret, I keep yours.
39:34Smart choice.
39:58Vada, Ridge Maddox is waiting by your locker.
40:01Great.
40:02My morning just got worse.
40:08Vada.
40:10I owe you an apology.
40:13For which part?
40:14For everything.
40:15The letter.
40:16The way people treated you.
40:17I handled it wrong.
40:19You mean you enjoyed it until it stopped making you look good?
40:22There is no school good.
40:23I'm trying to fix this.
40:25After school, coffee, just us.
40:27Let me explain.
40:28No.
40:30Vada.
40:31We're not close.
40:32Stop acting like we are.
40:35She just rejected Ridge Maddox?
40:37In public?
40:39Damn.
40:40Vada Mercer really doesn't want him anymore.
40:50You may begin.
40:57Is she seriously sleeping?
40:59She gave up already?
41:07Vada, you know this counts for 30% of your grade, right?
41:11Yeah.
41:21Bro, this is either genius behavior or total academic suicide.
41:27Vada, are you okay?
41:29I'm resting.
41:31During midterms?
41:32That's not resting.
41:33That's declaring war on your GPA.
41:36Yeah.
41:37Yeah.
41:38Yeah.
41:38Yeah.
41:39Yeah.
41:40Yeah.
41:42Midterms are over.
41:43I'm free.
41:44I'm sleeping for two days straight.
41:50V, get in.
41:52Big John found crew members for us.
41:54Real ones.
41:55Already.
41:56I know.
41:56We're heading to Rattlesnake Pass Raceway.
41:58Dustline Championship Round 4 starts this weekend.
42:02Then drive.
42:05This is Briscoe Pack Territory.
42:08Rattlesnake Pass Circuit is brutal.
42:11High altitude, crazy elevation drops, tight mountain turns.
42:15Coffin drop is a 15% downhill.
42:18Mojave Mile tests top speed.
42:20Knifeback Ridge.
42:21One mistake and you're gone.
42:23Altitude affects engine performance.
42:25Less oxygen.
42:26Right.
42:27Of course you already know that.
42:33Wait.
42:34This is your sister.
42:36The girl who's supposed to drive.
42:41No way.
42:42She looks like she should be taking taking selfies.
42:44Not racing.
42:46Bro, racing isn't really a girl thing.
42:48Watch your mouth.
42:49She's better than every spoiled rich kid standing here.
42:52Cute.
42:52Big brother's protective.
42:55Tell you what, princess.
42:56One mountain run.
42:57You lose, you admit you don't belong here.
43:00Maybe let me take you out after.
43:05Sure.
43:06Let's race.
43:07Wait.
43:08Seriously?
43:08But not your little ego game.
43:11Winner takes all.
43:12Cars, entry slot, crew respect.
43:15Loser walks away from Rattlesnake Pass.
43:17No excuses.
43:19No crying.
43:20Just you.
43:21Me.
43:22And the mountain.
43:25Unless you're scared.
43:34Okay.
43:36I'll admit it.
43:37You're not what I expected.
43:39Smart answer.
43:40I was talking trash.
43:41My bad.
43:43That's supposed to be an apology?
43:44Yeah.
43:45It is.
43:46I don't pick fights I can't finish.
43:52Name's Jax.
43:53I do mountain runs.
43:55Aggressive lines, late braking, stupid decisions when necessary.
43:59Blake.
44:00I tune engines.
44:01I can make a junkyard beater sound expensive.
44:04Mason.
44:04Data.
44:05Tires.
44:06Suspension.
44:06Basically, I keep idiots alive.
44:09Samuel.
44:09Spotter and coms.
44:11I see trouble before it hits.
44:13So, that makes six of us.
44:16Looks like it.
44:20Big John said the fastest way to get noticed is a head-to-head qualifier.
44:24There's another rookie crew trying to enter round four.
44:26We challenge them, beat them clean, and people remember us.
44:32Risky.
44:33Fast, though.
44:35If we lose, we're a joke before we start.
44:40I like it.
44:41That's a captain call.
44:44Wait.
44:45Captain?
44:46Yeah.
44:46Your idea.
44:47Your sister.
44:48Your shot.
44:49I'm good with Breck.
44:50Same.
44:51Captain Mercer.
44:54Guys, I'm not sure I'm built for that.
44:56I've never let a real crew.
44:58Then start now.
45:01You've wanted this your whole life.
45:03Don't shrink when it finally shows up.
45:04Okay.
45:05I'll do it.
45:09How about Midnight Fang?
45:12Sounds like a bad cologne.
45:14Road Kings.
45:15Too desperate.
45:17Dust Dragons?
45:19No.
45:23Apex.
45:25That's cold.
45:26It's actually perfect.
45:27Top point.
45:28Sharpest line.
45:28Apex.
45:29Apex Racing Team.
45:42All right, everyone.
45:43Midterm results are back.
45:45Breathe before you look.
45:55Seventy-eight.
45:56Thank God.
45:57I'm dead.
45:58My mom's gonna kill me.
45:59No.
46:00No way.
46:01Fifteen.
46:02I got academically murdered.
46:04Dude.
46:05How bad.
46:06Don't talk to me.
46:07I'm grieving.
46:08Wait.
46:10You promised we'd fail together.
46:12Solidarity.
46:14Remember?
46:14I didn't promise to stay stupid.
46:17Veda.
46:18What'd you get?
46:20105.
46:21105?
46:23That's impossible.
46:24The bonus questions were insane.
46:26I didn't even understand the wording.
46:27Holy shit.
46:28She maxed the test and took the bonus?
46:31You broke the Whitaker test.
46:32That test has his laws.
46:35You broke math law.
46:37I understood the concepts.
46:39Finished the problems.
46:40Checked the answers.
46:41That's all.
46:43Vada.
46:43See me after class.
46:45I'd like to discuss college recommendations.
46:49College recommendations?
46:50For Vada?
46:51Mrs. Wilson never offers those.
46:54Enough.
46:55Page one.
46:56We're reviewing the test.
46:58I'm dropping out.
47:00Become a mountain monk.
47:03My GPA just filed for divorce.
47:07Vada?
47:07Is this real?
47:09English 102.
47:11Earth Science 99.
47:14Algebra 105.
47:16Every class.
47:17Every single class.
47:19What the hell did you do with Veda Mercer?
47:21Okay.
47:22Serious question.
47:23What happened?
47:24Tutor.
47:25Secret Academy.
47:26Government experiment.
47:28Ladies and gentlemen.
47:29Meet Veda 2.0.
47:31New operating system.
47:33No bugs.
47:33Maximum academic damage.
47:35Sit down.
47:37That's exactly what an upgraded AI would say.
47:40Hey.
47:41That's my lunch.
47:42Demon tax.
47:43Veda Mercer.
47:44Please report to the counseling office.
48:02We checked everything.
48:05Every test.
48:06Every homework file.
48:07Every handwriting sample.
48:09So officially, your scores are real.
48:12No cheating.
48:13Then why am I here?
48:16Because this level of improvement is extreme.
48:20A month ago, you were barely passing.
48:22Now you're out performing honor students.
48:24We're not accusing you.
48:25We're trying to understand.
48:27After I fell from the third floor, I had a severe concussion.
48:32The accident last month?
48:33Yeah.
48:34After I woke up, things changed.
48:37I could remember things faster.
48:39Patterns made sense.
48:41Reading stopped feeling like static.
48:42You're saying the brain injury changed your cognition?
48:45I'm saying it's the only explanation I have.
48:48Required Savant Syndrome.
48:50Rare, but not impossible.
48:52Than your grades stand.
48:58So, are you suspended, exposed, or secretly a government experiment?
49:03None of those.
49:06Class, listen up.
49:08Vada's midterm scores have been fully reviewed.
49:11Her results are legitimate.
49:15So, you just woke up smarter?
49:18No.
49:19I woke up able to understand things.
49:21Then I studied.
49:23Acquired Savant-Sysant syndrome is rare, but real.
49:27Brain trauma can sometimes alter cognitive function.
49:30So, she's like one in a million.
49:33I got it.
49:34Her brain crashed, rebooted, cleared the cache, and came back with premium software.
49:43Bodhi.
49:44What?
49:44I'm helping.
49:46Vada 2.0 makes sense.
49:48So, nobody is jumping off buildings before finals.
49:51Let's be very clear.
49:53Yeah, results may vary.
49:55You might just get the concussion.
49:58Bottom line.
49:59Vada earned her scores.
50:01Discussion over.
50:02Open your books.
50:04Still suspicious, but proud.
50:09I'll take it.
50:14I think it's weird.
50:16She falls off its building.
50:17Comes back with a new face, new brain, new personality.
50:20That's not inspiring.
50:22That's creepy.
50:26Something to share, Sloan?
50:29No.
50:30No.
50:31She used to look at me like I was the center of the room.
50:34Now everyone looks at her.
50:40That's Vada Mercer.
50:41She got college reps after midterms.
50:43She's not the same girl anymore.
50:53Stalking high school girls now?
50:55Only the ones who survive things they shouldn't.
50:58If you came to threaten me, get in line.
51:01I came to warn you.
51:02Someone's digging into Marla Graves' death.
51:04Why tell me?
51:05Because whoever buried her wants to know why the grave feels empty.
51:09Careful, little dove.
51:10High school is a thin mask.
51:13He's right.
51:14This place was never safety.
51:16Just camouflage.
51:19Camouflage.
