00:22:08Wow.
00:22:09She doesn't hate me.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:12This is great.
00:22:13So what do I do?
00:22:14Do I...
00:22:15Do I ask her out?
00:22:17What?
00:22:18No.
00:22:19No, no, no.
00:22:20Uh...
00:22:21We...
00:22:22We need to write back first.
00:22:24Obviously.
00:22:25Uh...
00:22:26What's your favorite book?
00:22:29I don't know.
00:22:30Shrek?
00:22:32Brad, that's a movie.
00:22:34There's a book.
00:22:35There's a book.
00:22:36You're a walking tragedy.
00:22:38We're going to the library.
00:22:39Jane?
00:22:40Mia.
00:22:41A word.
00:22:44We both know these jocks didn't write their essays.
00:22:51The principal wants to see you in his office.
00:22:56Okay.
00:23:08You...
00:23:09Wanted to see me?
00:23:11We're investigating an academic fraud ring, Paper Hearts.
00:23:15Know anything about it?
00:23:16Nope.
00:23:18Well, we traced the phone number late to the app.
00:23:20We're about to call it.
00:23:21I'm giving you one chance to tell me the truth before we do.
00:23:26Uh...
00:23:26I...
00:23:27I don't know anything about it.
00:23:29You can't hear him.
00:23:41Hmm.
00:23:42Hmm.
00:23:43Hmm.
00:23:45Hmm.
00:23:46Hmm.
00:23:47Hmm.
00:23:48Hmm.
00:23:48Hmm.
00:23:48Hmm.
00:23:49Hmm..
00:23:52Hmm...
00:23:53Hmm.
00:23:54She's not involved.
00:23:56I've known me a long time.
00:23:58She's a diligent and honest student.
00:24:01Well, if you hear anything, we expect your cooperation.
00:24:06Of course.
00:24:16Hey.
00:24:18Back from the principal's office.
00:24:20What was that about?
00:24:22I have to shut it down.
00:24:24Shut what down?
00:24:27Paper hearts.
00:24:28They're on to me.
00:24:29If I get caught, I'm done.
00:24:31Well, hey, don't worry about it.
00:24:32Look, it's going to be okay.
00:24:34I'm sure you're going to survive without scamming the school out of half of its lunch money.
00:24:39What did you just say?
00:24:41Nothing.
00:24:42Nothing.
00:24:43Listen, it's just, like, pocket change.
00:24:45It's going to be okay.
00:24:47You know, you know nothing about real life.
00:24:51Since the day you were born, you've just been shielded by Daddy's money.
00:24:54So, write your own stupid letters from now on.
00:24:57Mia, what the...
00:24:58Mia!
00:25:01Mia!
00:25:12The last payment didn't go through.
00:25:15I...
00:25:16I can't work right now.
00:25:18I just need a little time.
00:25:20We've got a week, maybe less, before they cut off her treatment.
00:25:24I'll figure it out.
00:25:37I'm not dumb enough to link my real phone to the app.
00:25:41Even if they're on to me.
00:25:45I don't have a choice.
00:26:11I don't have a choice.
00:26:18Mia, hey!
00:26:19Come on, let's go.
00:26:21For what?
00:26:22A date.
00:26:24Now?
00:26:25Yeah, right now.
00:26:27The night's young.
00:26:28Tonight, we run these streets.
00:26:31Let's go.
00:26:40Did you, uh, did you ever hear about how long dolphins are like, like wet dogs?
00:26:47What?
00:26:49I read about it online.
00:26:51It kind of, like, makes you think.
00:26:55Yeah, yeah.
00:27:00Oh, hey.
00:27:01Watch this.
00:27:16Sorry, not the next one.
00:27:20Oh, okay.
00:27:25Yeah, all right, look at that.
00:27:29For my lady.
00:27:34Hey, can we get, uh, ice cream?
00:27:36Two, please?
00:27:37Um, what the hell are you doing here?
00:27:40Why are you wearing Brad's jacket?
00:27:42And Dan, really, are you actually trying to hook up with this desk rat?
00:27:46We're on a date.
00:27:47Samantha, what do you want?
00:27:49If you're gonna steal my boyfriend, don't get mad when I steal yours.
00:27:53Dan, I could really use your help with my chem homework, like, in my dorm.
00:28:00Oh.
00:28:01Yeah, uh, Samantha's got this project.
00:28:04I'll be right back.
00:28:05Just, yeah.
00:28:06Let's go.
00:28:13That's five bucks for the ice creams.
00:28:27Hey.
00:28:33Mia.
00:28:35Let's go.
00:29:05Let's go.
00:29:36I'm sorry.
00:29:39It's the last time.
00:29:44Did you start the second letter?
00:29:45Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:48Or, well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:50Hmm.
00:29:51Well, see ya.
00:30:09It's not terrible.
00:30:13You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:19Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:21Yeah, I did.
00:30:23Very romantic.
00:30:25Very gushy.
00:30:27A lot of stargazing.
00:30:29And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:32Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:36Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:40You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:43You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:49You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:30:53You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:30:58I think that's really cool.
00:31:03That one's perfect for you.
00:31:08Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:10Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
00:31:12Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:19Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:24Hey.
00:31:26There you are.
00:31:28I'm looking for you.
00:31:30Well, that's my cue.
00:31:33For real.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:53I've been thinking about you.
00:31:55Really?
00:31:56Must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:00What?
00:32:01Maybe nothing happened.
00:32:03Hey, I promise.
00:32:05Look, you are the only person that matters to me.
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:10Why?
00:32:13Why what?
00:32:15Why do I matter?
00:32:16What are you into?
00:32:19I'm into you, of course.
00:32:23Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:27You're really pretty.
00:32:29And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:33Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:35I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:40Hey, but now?
00:32:41You were, like, really hot.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:47Anything else?
00:32:48Uh, what?
00:32:50You, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:53Okay, wait.
00:32:56You're beautiful.
00:32:57Oh, you already said that.
00:33:01Babe, what?
00:33:09You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and
00:33:13it's not true.
00:33:15You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:20I think that's really cool.
00:33:23I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:50Oh, my God.
00:33:56Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:33:59I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:01No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:04Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:06No.
00:34:08No, that's not how this works.
00:34:09You need to let her wonder.
00:34:11Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:14Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like
00:34:19her.
00:34:20And ruin the mystery?
00:34:23Are you sure you put the letter in her locker?
00:34:25Yes.
00:34:26Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:34Look who's back.
00:34:36Desk rat herself.
00:34:38What's in the bag, rat?
00:34:40Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:44Stop.
00:34:45Give it, give it back.
00:34:49Let's see.
00:34:57My dearest Chloe.
00:34:59Oh, my God.
00:35:00No wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:02Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:03I'm sorry, Samantha, give it back.
00:35:06Yes?
00:35:06It's not funny, please.
00:35:08Hey.
00:35:12What the hell's going on?
00:35:17Samantha, what the hell is your problem?
00:35:19Give me her bag back right now.
00:35:20Since when do you take Charity Case's side over mine?
00:35:24I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:26Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:29And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:31You and me are not a thing.
00:35:33So give me her bag back right now.
00:35:39This is all her fault.
00:35:47Thanks.
00:35:52Brad.
00:35:54You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:35:56I...
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58You lied to me.
00:36:00No.
00:36:00Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:01No, I didn't.
00:36:05No, I didn't.
00:36:28Brad.
00:36:30Please.
00:36:44Who is it?
00:36:46It's Brad.
00:36:51Come in.
00:37:02Why didn't you give her the letter?
00:37:05I don't know.
00:37:08Bullshit.
00:37:09I don't.
00:37:09I don't.
00:37:10What, did you want some money?
00:37:11Was that it?
00:37:12You were just trying to squeeze some more money out of me?
00:37:13Fuck you, Brad.
00:37:16There must have been a reason.
00:37:18Mia, you're the smartest person I've ever met.
00:37:20I refuse to believe that you just didn't know what you were doing.
00:37:22Or that it was an accident.
00:37:23Okay, I'm sorry.
00:37:25I'm really sorry, okay?
00:37:26But I can't keep writing for you anymore.
00:37:29You don't understand how hard it is to make someone fall for you when it's not even you.
00:37:43I need you, Mia.
00:37:49I put the letter in Chloe's locker and she wrote back.
00:37:53But I just, I can't read it without you.
00:37:58I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:05Please.
00:38:29Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like a total cliche.
00:38:34But when I see you, everything else fades.
00:38:41I like the way that you always bite your pen when you're stuck on a sentence.
00:38:45Like you're trying to scare the words into place.
00:38:50I like that you don't try to fit in.
00:38:52You just exist.
00:38:54Exactly the way you are.
00:39:02You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:07Brad.
00:39:31She wrote back.
00:39:34I'm going to throw up.
00:39:35Okay, let's see.
00:39:41Dear stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:39:47Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:39:52Oh, that's good.
00:39:55But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:40:00What if we met?
00:40:04She wants to meet?
00:40:08Oh my god.
00:40:18What's this?
00:40:19It's Chloe's favorite band.
00:40:22You are to think you guys have things in common, right?
00:40:24Yeah, yeah.
00:40:26What about when girls like when guys have their own interests?
00:40:30Okay, but not when their thing is basketball and burping the alphabet.
00:40:33Do you remember that?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:37That's bad.
00:40:38That's really bad.
00:40:39Oh my god.
00:40:40Okay, so let's see.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:44Chloe's favorite book?
00:40:46Um, The Night Circus.
00:40:48Okay.
00:40:51Chloe's favorite movie?
00:40:53Pride and Problems.
00:40:55Prejudice.
00:40:57The movie's called Prejudice?
00:40:58Prejudice.
00:40:59Pride and Prejudice.
00:41:00Oh, Pride and Prejudice.
00:41:01Good job.
00:41:01Okay.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:03What food does she hate?
00:41:06Um, anything with olives.
00:41:08Good job.
00:41:10Hey, look at you.
00:41:12You're not completely a lost cause.
00:41:14Hey, they don't call me B-Rad for nothing.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:19You're taking her on the first date.
00:41:21Where are you going?
00:41:22The drive-in movie theater.
00:41:25Hmm.
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:28Let me ask you something.
00:41:31If someone were to take you on a date,
00:41:34where would you want to go?
00:41:38It's not important.
00:41:39Anyways, I don't drive, so...
00:41:41Yeah.
00:41:42You don't drive?
00:41:43I never got my license.
00:41:46You're lying.
00:41:48Oh my god.
00:41:50Little Miss Overachiever never got the license.
00:41:52This is amazing.
00:41:53It's not funny.
00:41:54It's very funny.
00:41:56It's pretty funny.
00:41:57Wow.
00:41:59Well, lucky for you,
00:42:01Coach Sterling over here
00:42:02is open for
00:42:04driving lessons.
00:42:05No, Brad.
00:42:07It's not happening.
00:42:07Yes.
00:42:08I'm serious.
00:42:09No.
00:42:10No, I'm serious.
00:42:11I'm sorry.
00:42:11It's not a joke.
00:42:12It's not going to happen.
00:42:14It's happening.
00:42:23All right, driver's head time.
00:42:25You ready?
00:42:26I'm not doing it.
00:42:28Come on, you're a genius.
00:42:29How hard can driving be?
00:42:31No, I'm serious.
00:42:32Brad, please just drop it.
00:42:33Look, what are you so afraid of?
00:42:35It's a car, not a shark.
00:42:36You're going to be fine.
00:42:37Yeah, well, my dad died in one.
00:42:39And my mom's been in the hospital
00:42:40ever since, so I'm not driving.
00:42:49I got an idea.
00:42:51All right, so why don't you just
00:42:52stay right here.
00:42:54Okay.
00:43:05What are you doing?
00:43:08We're going to take it slow.
00:43:10Just like a turtle.
00:43:12And lookit.
00:43:15Nothing's going to happen.
00:43:17You trust me?
00:43:20I do.
00:43:21Great.
00:43:23Hop on in.
00:43:25Okay.
00:43:27I think I got you a gift.
00:43:29Okay.
00:43:30And this is it.
00:43:35Cute.
00:43:36Oh, God.
00:43:38You got this.
00:43:42Perfect.
00:43:43All right.
00:43:44That's the brake.
00:43:45That's the gas.
00:43:48We're in drive.
00:43:50That's reverse.
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:52All right.
00:43:52So it's in neutral right now.
00:43:54Whenever you're ready,
00:43:55put it in drive.
00:43:57Slowly put it on the gas.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01On the gas.
00:44:02Right on the gas.
00:44:03Hold on.
00:44:04Oh, my God.
00:44:05Oh, my God.
00:44:06Oh, my God.
00:44:06Oh, my God.
00:44:07Oh, my God.
00:44:08Okay.
00:44:09All right.
00:44:10Wow, that was great.
00:44:11No, no, no, no, no.
00:44:12Hey, no, hey.
00:44:13Hey, I got you.
00:44:14I got you.
00:44:15And honestly, not too bad for your first time.
00:44:17I almost killed us.
00:44:19Well, that builds character.
00:44:21Yeah, you did great.
00:44:22I think lesson one is complete.
00:44:25All right.
00:44:26My turn.
00:44:27Ah!
00:44:31Oh, my God.
00:44:34Do people really look at each other like that?
00:44:36I mean, come on.
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:39If they're blind.
00:44:42Watch it.
00:44:43Better get a kiss right here.
00:44:44Right here.
00:44:45Oh.
00:44:46Oh, God.
00:44:48Well, look at you.
00:44:50I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
00:44:56It's the buildup.
00:44:57The anticipation, you know?
00:44:59Just like her.
00:45:00You can kiss your company goodbye.
00:45:04So, are you sure?
00:45:08I've never been more sure of anything in my whole life.
00:45:16What about your mom and the company?
00:45:19Sorry, I need to take this.
00:45:21Okay.
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24I'll be right there.
00:45:28Mom?
00:45:29You said it was an emergency?
00:45:31It's nothing, sweetie.
00:45:32Just a little scare.
00:45:34I'm fine.
00:45:36And who is this handsome young man?
00:45:38Your boyfriend?
00:45:40Yes, yes.
00:45:41Hi, I'm Brad Sterling.

00:45:50Mom?
00:45:51He's not my boyfriend.
00:45:57Her heart is failing faster than we expected.
00:45:59She needs a transplant within the week.
00:46:02How much?
00:46:03Even with insurance, you're looking at $200,000.
00:46:08Man, there are other options.
00:46:10It's okay.
00:46:10I'll figure it out.

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!
00:56:03Hey!
00:56:03Hi!

00:56:22And Mia, this is Chloe.
00:56:25My girlfriend.
00:56:27Hi.
00:56:28Brad talks about you all the time.
00:56:31Yeah, same.
00:56:33Um...
00:56:34I actually had something to tell you.
00:56:37Yeah, what's up?
00:56:39Uh...
00:56:40I...
00:56:42I broke up with Dan.
00:56:43Oh, really?
00:56:45Well, that's great.
00:56:46He's, uh, a total moron.
00:56:48Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:52Well, I'll see you guys around.
00:56:53Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh,
00:56:55come to the game later?
00:56:56Yeah.
00:56:57I'll...
00:56:57I'll sit with you if you want.
00:56:58Yeah, that'd be great.
00:56:59Yeah, maybe.
00:57:01Um...
00:57:01See you guys around.
00:57:02Okay, I'll have you there.
00:57:25Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:57:27Mm-hmm.
00:57:28Shame, it's all a lie.
00:57:30I figure.
00:57:31Yeah.
00:57:32Alright, let's...
00:57:33I'm gonna watch this.
00:57:34See this.
00:57:35Woo!
00:57:36Yes!
00:57:37Okay.

00:57:49Sorry.
00:57:50Excuse me.

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