00:01Out of the way.
00:07Oh no, not again.
00:11You're such a freak. No one likes you.
00:14Hey, freak!
00:26Ouch! That hurts so bad.
00:29Oh my god. Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?
00:33I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I left the locker open.
00:37Wait, you said sorry to me?
00:40I'm Mia. And you must be Elliot, right?
00:45How do you know my name? I've never talked to you.
00:48It's a small school, and you're really cute.
00:52Is this some kind of prank? Are there cameras hidden somewhere?
00:56No way! I 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?
01:23Wait. 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. Your funeral then.
01:35Tell me about Vancouver.
01:36Is it really that beautiful?
01:38Hey, Elliot.
01:44Heads up, Farini!
01:45Can't you avoid anything?
01:52Mia, don't. Please don't do this.
01:54Hold my juice. Don't move.
02:01What will you do, little princess?
02:07It hurts!
02:12Don't you dare hurt him again.
02:14Never.
02:22Say it again louder!
02:28Sit down.
02:29All of you.
02:36Mia Hunter!
02:37My office, right now!
02:38It's totally worth it.
02:48Oh no, oh no!
02:50She's gonna get in so much trouble!
02:53Help!
02:54Don't leave it the farce!
02:59I'm okay.
03:00Don't worry about me.
03:01What happened?
03:02Tell me everything.
03:03Did you get expelled?
03:05Or something worse?
03:07Don't panic.
03:08Just suspended for this week.
03:12Mia, I'm so sorry.
03:13This is all my fault.
03:14I shouldn't have let you get involved.
03:16Stop it.
03:16Don'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.
03:26You'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.
03:40She 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.
04:00Is she okay after everything?
04:02She's suspended till Friday, but she's fine.
04:05She had to do it.
04:06No one else would.
04:10I'm dead.
04:12Mrs. Thornwell is going to kill me.
04:15Good morning.
04:16We have a pop quiz today.
04:18No, seriously?
04:19Not today.
04:21Now hand up your homework immediately.
04:25Mr. Moore, where is your homework?
04:28I don't have it with me.
04:30You don't have it?
04:31Are you kidding me?
04:32Please let me explain.
04:33It's not what you think.
04:34Enough.
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.
05:56Hey.
05:57Are you okay?
05:58You look weird.
06:03What?
06:03What 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.
06:22I never had friends before.
06:31Test starts now.
06:33No 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.
07:15That's a pool.
07:19Don't judge my choices.
07:32Are you okay, man?
07:33You look so stupid.
07:37Wait for me.
07:38I'm exhausted.
07:40You okay?
07:41You look terrible.
07:42I need water.
07:43So bad.
07:44You want me to throw you in the lake?
07:47No.
07:48No way.
07:49Don't you dare.
07:51Yes.
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.
08:49It's Derek.
08:51He's back.
08:53What does he want from me?
09:02Who is Derek?
09:03Tell me.
09:08He's Mia's arranged fiance.
09:11He has stalked her for months.
09:13He tried to assault her.
09:18Why not tell your parents?
09:20Our 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 rest.
09:32You're my friends.
09:33I care.
09:47No.
09:48Let 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.
09:53I don't know anything about soccer.
09:55God, give me something.
09:57I don't know.
10:01Come on, Elliot.
10:02We're here.
10:03Why is that going 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 there on the nation crossroads.
11:04Time's up.
11:06Please pass your drafts forward.
11:07Turn in what you have.
11:11Elliot?
11:12This opening is really strong.
11:23Caleb?
11:26You're slow.
11:27You waited for me?
11:30Mia's gone.
11:31I walk you.
11:31I'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!
12:20I want to know you're up.
12:21Come on, dürfens camera.
12:23I want to know you're up.
12:24Number seven, look at him!
12:30Let's go far away.
12:32But I'll have to save him.
12:33Number seven.
12:35On the wing.
12:46It's a beautiful goal!
12:49And that's my brother!
13:07He lives!
13:21Step back, please!
13:22He's my brother! Let us in!
13:25Who is this guy?
13:25He's his boyfriend!
13:27Please, let us in!
13:28Hop in quickly. We need to move.
13:30Watch your step. Keep monitoring his breathing.
13:33I'm here. I'm right here.
13:36We're moving.
13:39Please, 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.
14:52Breakfast is coming.
14:54You two look like ghosts.
14:55I can't feel my face.
14:57Same.
14:57Eat first, then you can collapse dramatically.
15:03Thanks, Mom. Seriously.
15:04Thank you, Mrs. Moore. This is really kind.
15:07Eat as much as you can. Both of you need fuel.
15:20Wait! 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 door to know.
15:39Hey, Shadow. I know I'm late.
16:10Elliot? You up there?
16:12Yeah, coming!
16:24Surgery went very well.
16:28The full recovery takes two years.
16:30No soccer, no high-impact sports forever.
16:43Caleb.
16:45Two years. No soccer.
16:48You'll recover soon. I promise.
16:51No 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.
17:13You're more than just soccer, Caleb.
17:19I've seen your architectural sketches.
17:21You've seen my sketches?
17:23I-I 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.
18:03We made you homemade cookies.
18:09Is that my shirt you're wearing?
18:11Mia gave it to me. I-I 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. Calm down.
18:41They were my children.
18:43I'll make you more.
18:52I'll make you more.

35:03What if it changes your life
35:05You're more than fear

35:24Your voice deserves to be heard

35:49Is that Caleb?
35:52It's nobody
35:55Leave him alone
35:56He's happy
35:59Remember when you threatened
36:00To throw me in this lake?
36:02I didn't threaten
36:03I offered
36:05You chased me
36:09I was impressed by your speed
36:12Fear is a powerful motivator
36:16Can I ask you something?
36:18You always can
36:21When did you know about us
36:22About me
36:28The day you walked into the locker
36:31I needed to know you right away
36:34That was the day we met
36:37Yeah, it was
36:39I liked you before we even spoke
36:43I saw someone real behind your silence

40:25I was terrified when I moved to California
40:28I wanted to be invisible
40:30To be safe
40:30Safe isn't the same as alive
40:32I found my people
40:34And fell in love
40:35You're not invisible
40:35Your people
40:36Your people will find you
40:37Elliot

41:03Someday we'd legally be siblings
41:08Nobody leaves

41:14How does it end?
41:16It doesn't
41:17That's the whole point
41:18I amordinST
