Original subtitles

Why don't you take off?

Grace already took off.

I'll close this place up after everybody leaves.

Yeah, sounds like a plan. All right.

Have a good night, boss.

Eddie? Eddie?

Chloe?

Are you looking for Eddie?

Lauren?

McAllen, 12-year.

I think that, too, actually.

Not bad, huh?

The other one's not for me.

Must be for me, then. Hey!

Hey, Tyler.

Better be good. It is.

Please, have a seat.

Lisa?

Is that you?

Answer me.

Yes?

Well, I can't believe I'm hearing your voice.

Why are you calling here?

I got a call from Melissa, but then we got cut off.

How did she find me?

It doesn't matter. It was a mistake.

A huge mistake.

I am confused. I thought Palm Springs was close. It says it takes a day and a

half to get there.

You got walking directions.

It takes almost two days to get there on foot. Ugh, stupid computer.

Okay, so how long does it take to get there by car?

Depends on traffic.

If it's in the morning, it'll probably be pretty bad, so two or three hours.

It's our first road trip.

Sorry, I was just looking forward to it.

I'm really glad you're coming with me.

I couldn't do it without you.

Have you thought of any excuses we could tell our parents?

Uh, no.

Not yet, but I'm gonna work on that.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes. I need to meet my aunt.

I want to know all about her.

I want to know why my mom hates her so much.

I can't explain it, but it just feels like something I have to do.

I'm pregnant.

If you tell anyone, I'll kill you.

How are you feeling?

Are you nauseated? Yeah, and terrified.

And on top of that, Phil's in trouble with both sides of the law.

I have got to admit, he has taken that bad boy image way past what I thought

you could for being in high school. Get this.

He wants the two of us to just run away.

Are you considering it? I mean, actually running away? I don't know anything

other than that. This whole situation sucks.

I feel really bad for you, Nate.

But I have to ask.

What's it like being pregnant?

I don't know if I'm sick to my stomach because of the baby or because of

everything else going wrong in my life.

Do you crave anything?

Yeah.

To be normal again.

My life is such a disaster, okay? I don't even know how this happened. I'm

freaking out right now. Freaking out about what?

What are you doing?

Never mind. Just put him on the phone. You know, I really wish that I could,

but he's unavailable right now, especially for you. I said put him on

the phone.

He's never that far from his phone.

Except when he's in the shower.

Look, Chloe, don't worry. I will definitely tell him that you called.

Whether or not he calls you back, that's up to him.

Have a good night.

I am going to kill that little twerp.

What's wrong now?

What's wrong?

Everything is wrong.

Thanks for meeting me so quickly.

I was intrigued by your call.

McAllen, 12 years, right? On the rocks?

Yeah, how'd you know?

You sent me to get you one when we met at the MK Club opening. Remember?

Not really.

But if you say so.

So tell me what this news about Chloe is.

Yeah, Chloe is obsessed with getting Eddie to do this Grease remake.

Tell me something I don't already know.

And I'm pretty impressed by the way you guys used me.

Inspired thinking.

Hoping that me possibly booking the part would lead to the press, and then Eddie

would actually take the part.

Am I going to be sorry that I came here, Tyler? No, no, no, listen, I'm getting

to the good stuff, okay?

I know that Oz is all over Chloe, that he's promising her whatever it is he

needs to promise her.

And he's trying to get her to convince Eddie to actually do the part. Well,

you'll have to take that up with Mr. Silver.

Well, that's what I'm trying to tell you. You'll definitely want to bring

this up with Mr. Silver.

Unless you want to lose millions and millions of dollars on a movie I

guarantee Eddie and Chloe will destroy.

I thought I might have scared you away for a second. No, I just went for a

walk. I couldn't sleep.

It's amazing out there. I thought I saw a shooting star.

Really? Did you make a wish?

It was a plane, but... Oh.

Those count, too, right? They should, right?

Well, I'm sorry I missed it. You should have woken me up. No, you were out.

You're cute when you sleep, by the way.

Only when I sleep?

Okay, when you're awake.

But I'll go out again if you want to go take a walk.

Maybe in a bit.

It's really beautiful up here.

Oh.

Is everything okay?

Okay, don't think that I'm a horrible person, but Chloe called while you were

out. Oh, boy.

Yeah, and I'm sorry. I really couldn't help it. I had to pick up and give her a

taste of her own medicine.

She's probably freaking out.

Are you upset with me?

No.

I'm glad you did it. I mean, she needed to know what was going on and, you know,

maybe now she'll leave me alone.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Okay, well, don't judge me.

But, um, I was at home and I was, um...

I'm feeling a little out of sorts about some personal stuff, and I instinctively

went into Lauren's room to chat, and when she wasn't there, it really hit me.

Your daughter's staying out too late.

No, no, that too, but no.

I just, I don't really have anyone other than her to share my

life with.

Oh, my God.

I'm so pathetic.

No, no, at all. I can totally relate.

Same exact relationship with Eddie.

And the same lack of with the rest of the world.

Well, I find that very hard to believe. But thank you for making me feel like

I'm not alone on this island. It's true.

It's true. And it makes sense if you think about it.

When you have a special bond with our children, like we do, other people you

share things with seem almost trivial.

That's so true.

I never really looked at it that way.

What about Don? You said he was a good listener?

Yeah. I don't think he'd really understand.

I mean, he's got a very tense relationship with his daughter.

The point is, I just... It's really hit me.

Lauren is my best friend.

And now that her life is moving at lightning speed, I'm on the verge of

losing her.

Well, you've come to the right place.

I have?

Yeah, of course.

I know what it's like.

To watch your children grow up and start to live their own lives.

Well, ironically, it seems like our kids are on the verge of living it together.

I should go.

Lisa, please.

Wait.

I didn't open this door, but now that it is, you can't just shut it. It was a

mistake. Look, Lisa, no.

I've turned my life around.

It took a long time coming, but I have been clean for two years.

I found my center and my purpose.

I've changed my life.

You can't change who you are, Beth.

You can only find things to hide behind.

What a horrible thing to say.

Well, I'm speaking frankly.

And from experience.

You called me.

This conversation would be better in person.

Can I come and see you?

No.

Lisa. Please.

Let me show you that I'm a new woman.

I said no.

Stay away from me and my family.

Whoa, I did not realize how late it was. You better get out of here before Lisa

and Gus find out you're still here and go psycho on you.

Yeah, I'm not really down for being psyched on.

So have you figured out what you're going to tell your parents about the

trip tomorrow?

I'll just tell them I'm going to the beach with some friends. That'll work.

My parents don't really ask a lot of questions.

You're lucky.

My parents ask so many.

I feel like I'm in the Wizard of Oz and I'm going to meet the wizard for the

first time who can tell me everything about my mom and her family.

Am I the Tin Man or the Lion?

You are definitely the Scarecrow.

Melissa, open up.

I need to see you in the living room right now.

You weren't kidding. What am I supposed to do? Shh, just wait over here and

don't make a sound.

What do you think I'm panicking about, Dad? This summer?

Okay, it's the first one after graduation and I have nothing to do.

I'll tell you what summer looks like.

You're getting a job.

Probably working for me at the clinic.

And since you never applied to any schools...

You'll be attending community college this fall.

Okay, what makes you think I'm going to go to community college?

Oh, sure.

I wouldn't be caught dead at one of those campuses.

Right. Throw away any chance of getting a degree.

Why would you want one of those?

Okay, a stupid college degree isn't going to help me with anything that I

want to do with my life. Of course not.

All you want to do is hang out with your deadbeat boyfriend. Move in with him.

Get knocked up, have a few babies, and do nothing of value in this world.

You're a monster.

Okay, I cannot believe you just talked to me like that.

I gotta go out for a walk, yeah?

What a surprise.

I'm taking care of business.

This house doesn't pay for itself.

I'm starting to think that Phil and I should just start a new life together.

Seriously?

Yeah, I mean, I don't have any real family now.

My dad's Satan, and then my mom left a few years ago and hasn't looked back.

She doesn't even call to check in?

I'm lucky if I get a Christmas card.

And then, if it's that, it's some afterthought in the middle of January.

Harsh.

You know, she lives in Europe and just moves around.

Regardless, she has little to no time to be bothered by her one and only

daughter. I had no idea your mom was so heartless.

I mean, she's not the only one to blame.

I wouldn't put it past my dad to ban her from any contact with me.

You've seen him when he gets mad. He probably scared her off.

Yeah, but come on, Ade.

I mean, yeah, your life's a mess, and you could definitely do better in the

dad department.

But you really think he'd make her so afraid she wouldn't even try to see you

more?

What else?

I mean, maybe he wishes that she was still around so he could be even less of

a parent, if that's possible.

Yeah, this stuff should not be happening to us. It should be happening to trash

like Lauren Tate and her perfect mom.

Definitely. I feel like I'm in some crazy, mixed-up movie plot where I'm

suffering the life that another girl should be living.

Hmm. Well, do you want to hear my advice?

Because you're not going to like it.

411 me.

Forget about Lauren Tate.

Oh, yeah, that's so easy.

She's just the bane of my existence, Kim.

Look, just thinking about her frustrates you more.

Just let her go.

I mean, she's in a different stratosphere than all of us now anyways.

And forget about contacting your mom.

She wasn't there for you when times were easy. I'm doubting she's going to want

to jump back into your life with this whole horror show you've got going on.

Anything else?

Don't keep the baby.

Come on, Ade.

Just graduate and get your hands on that trust fund that must be coming your way.

Oh, and you've got to break up with Phil.

Maybe you're right.

I mean, the truth is he's the one responsible for all this mess that I'm

in.

Maybe he's more trouble than he's worth.

But... I'm still crazy about the guy.

You have no idea the potential harm you have caused this family by getting a

hold of your aunt.

Okay, so fill me in.

Tell me something. Anything.

I'm dying to know why life as we know it will cease to exist if I talk to her. I

don't have to explain anything.

This is my house, and I make the rules.

And you blatantly disobeyed them. Your mother's right, Melissa.

We both asked you not to contact your Aunt Beth, and you went ahead and did it

anyway.

What is so horrible about me talking to her?

What's going to happen to us? Is she a serial killer?

Because all I know is that she did something so horrible to Mom that you

both extra out of your lives. But until you tell me what it is, how can you

expect me not to be curious?

You want to know what your curiosity has brought on?

Your Aunt Beth called back, and now she wants to meet up.

I've realized that I sound like a broken record, but what is wrong with that?

I mean, can't you just give your own flesh and blood the benefit of the

doubt? Maybe she has good news to tell you.

I highly doubt that. Look, Melissa, no one knows your aunt better than your

mother. Yeah, but what if she's turned her life around?

Doesn't she deserve to have her family by her side?

She doesn't deserve anything.

Come on, Mom.

If the roles were reversed and you would have falling out and hit rock bottom,

but you would turn your life around, wouldn't you hope that your family would

be there for you?

Melissa, you're young. You're naive. I get it.

You think everything is black or white. Well, it isn't.

The real world is so much more complicated than you could ever imagine.

My generation grew up with the Internet.

I am we. All of us. We're so much more well-informed than you guys ever were.

I realize the world is a messed up place, but it is not without hope,

especially when it comes to forgiving family.

This discussion's over.

I forbid you from contacting my sister ever again. You can't do that.

Oh, no?

Test me.

Well, I'm glad I was able to convince you to stay another round. Okay, you

didn't have to convince me. I would have had another one if you'd been here or

not.

Well, mostly because I kind of have a confession to make.

Actually, I asked Lauren to meet Eddie at our beach bundle.

I did not expect to hear that.

I know.

I know, and it's completely understandable. And I was hesitant at

first as well, but, you know.

I'm so happy that Eddie has someone like her because you have such a wonderful

kid. Okay, they're both really great kids. That's not what I'm worried about.

I know. I know he got out of an awful relationship.

Perhaps, you know, the whole lifestyle, the rock and roll thing.

Then why did you encourage her to go down there?

Because I was being a selfish parent.

He lights up around her.

She brings up his innocence.

You know what I mean? And I haven't seen that since his mother died.

But she's still my baby.

I mean, if she makes Eddie feel innocent, it's because she is.

I don't want to see her get hurt.

Oh, no, absolutely not. I wouldn't want that either. Well, and with all your son

has been through, you can see how it brings out the protective mother mode.

But you've got to realize that you and I are great parents, and we raise some

wonderful kids because they're smart and they're very sensitive.

And they're going to do the right thing.

I will drink to that.

Cheers.

So,

did you see anything else on your walk besides shooting stars that ended up

being airplanes?

Sure, I saw some seagulls, some crabs.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, I saw a mermaid.

No, don't say that. Mermaids kind of freak me out.

How are you afraid of mermaids? Have you ever seen the movie Splash?

No. I must have missed that one. Wow, it's a classic.

My parents loved those silly 80s comedies, Back to the Future, Splash,

Weird Science.

No? Nope.

We used to come up here all the time, and all they would do, they'd sit here

all weekend and watch those movies.

Yeah? Yeah. What would you do?

Go on walks, mostly.

I just, I love the sound of the ocean and the cold sand between my toes.

I love that feeling.

You know, it's a full moon tonight.

Is it? It's beautiful.

You gave me some great ideas for a song that I'm writing.

Oh, let me guess.

All about how the moon lights up your way.

No.

Can't give the moon all that credit.

The real inspiration was you.

Really?

Can I hear it?

What? Sorry, that's just the way I roll.

I guess that's kind of the way I roll, too.

I don't like people to hear my stuff before I think it's completely ready.

I don't know. I just thought we were on that level where we could share stuff

like that.

It's not that.

I just don't like sharing my lyrics before I write them down in my

trustworthy new notebook.

Oh.

Okay. I'm ready. Okay.

Looking back, the nights were long.

I should have known I was wrong.

In the dark, I lost my way until you came.

I hope you'll stay.

Sorry that took so long.

Hey, you're a busy man. Yep.

So please make this worth my while.

What could you possibly tell me about Chloe Carter and Eddie Duran that I

don't already know?

A lot.

Tyler, come on. This is Hollywood.

I can find out anything about anyone.

For the right price, I can get a cleaning lady to tell me what type of

toothpaste Chloe uses.

Whatever was in her last swag bag.

Chloe doesn't shop for toiletries.

All right.

You've piqued my curiosity.

Please tell me, how does casting Chloe and Eddie in grief cost my studio

millions? Because they're locked into this sick, psychosexual love-hate game.

And it's only getting worse.

Give me an example.

It's the real reason Chloe ended up in the hospital.

Eddie made her overdose on meds.

Anything else? It's not just the overdose.

It's their day-to-day life. I guarantee if they started working on this

production, it would slow it down to a halt.

Yeah, but even so, if that's true, I'm not the one in charge. It's all up to

Osborne. Yeah, but you have his ear. I know you do. Think about how good you'll

look if you avert this disaster.

You'll save the studio millions.

And I've seen their relationship for a long time, and it's disgusting to watch

them feed off this twisted attraction for one another.

From what I've seen, you're right in the middle of this sick, twisted attraction.

No, I'm done with Chloe. I'm tired of all this drama.

Right now, I am just focusing on my career.

I mean, you've seen how Osborne took an interest in me.

Okay, what are you asking me to do?

Give me another meeting with your boss.

Look, I know when someone says they're busy, it seems like a blow-off, but in

Mr. Silver's case, it's true.

Connor, come on, man. I'm just asking you for ten minutes in that office.

Do me this favor.

And I will never ask you for anything again.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

Lauren Tate has no idea who she started a war with.

Honey, is she really worth getting this upset about?

Yes, she hijacked my life.

How so?

She is with the man that I love and on her way to being famous. That was

supposed to be me. I don't know, honey. It sounds to me like she deserves her

success. I hear she's a pretty talented musician.

And as far as Eddie goes, you can't control who he wants to be with. You

just got to let it go.

I will never let it go.

She's so my life and I will get it back right now.

That teeny bopper is so out of her league. I will ruin her. Chloe, stop.

All right. You're getting way too worked up over this.

Once I am done with her, she will never want to pick up another instrument or be

seen out in public ever again.

Okay, you just gotta calm down or the only life you're gonna end up ruining is

your own.

I just have to get her out of the equation.

Nothing is gonna stand in the way of my plan to get Eddie back, especially not

some singer who thinks she's the next Taylor Swift.

I can't talk to you when you're like this.

Where are you off to?

Get out of my way, okay? I'm not in the mood. I have stuff that I have to do.

What, business stuff?

Your second meeting with Osborne Silver, the one you didn't tell me about?

It was a last-minute thing.

Let me guess. You promised you the world if you could just find Eddie and

convince him to do the movie again, right? Just get out of my way. Guess

what? It's not going to happen for you.

It's over for you and Eddie. I know for a fact that Silver's done with both of

you.

What the hell did you do, Tyler?

I've decided to take a page out of your book. Oh, stop being cute. What the hell

did you do? I'm thinking just like you.

I'm going to step on, I'm going to hurt whoever I want to get whatever I want.

To hell with anybody, right?

Tyler, wait.

What? I'm done with you. I don't have anything more to say.

Oh, really? So that's how it's going to be? After everything we've been through,

you're going to start being vindictive?

Okay, so now that everything's out in the open, why don't you just say it?

I thought I just did.

What are you doing?

I'm not going to tell you. You'll just give me grief about it.

Honey, let's go back home.

Huh?

Back to Fresno.

I mean, it doesn't have to be permanent, but I think getting out of here for a

little while would do you some good.

What?

I'm serious.

This town is eating you alive.

And you've grown so numb to it, you don't even feel it.

You are never gonna get it, are you?

Get what?

I am not Cynthia Kowalski anymore, and I never will be again.

I am not some loser that belongs in Fresno. I am a winner. My heart, my

soul, everything belongs here.

Honey, do you hear yourself? You're talking crazy again.

It's not crazy.

It's not crazy, okay?

Because everything that I care about is here, and I will do whatever it takes to

get what I want.

Fame, success, Eddie.

No one can have it all, honey.

Okay. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to start on my plan a little bit faster

since Tyler's now a wild card. Where are you going?

To get rid of the people in my way.

Starting with Lauren Tate.

For what? I kind of got you into this mess.

For sticking by me. For not fleeing from my psycho family.

Your house makes mine seem eerily normal.

But I can't go back.

Yet I have to.

See you bright and early for the road trip.

What's up?

Well, my parents think you left.

They don't know you're still here.

Are you suggesting what I think you are? They're not going to check in on me

tonight, especially after that fight.

Stay the night.

You really want me to?

I mean, you can leave before my parents wake up.

Just, I don't want to be alone tonight.

I'm not going anywhere.

Talk to me.

How do you think she's doing?

My sister or Melissa?

Both.

But let's start with your sister.

I don't even know what to say.

You know how bizarre it is to hear my sister's voice after all these years?

How did she sound?

Different.

In control.

Not as ragged and hoarse as I remember her sounding.

Well, that's a good thing.

Yeah.

Except maybe it's all in my head because that's how I want her to sound.

Well, you know, maybe you could go see her and find out for yourself.

I couldn't.

If nothing else, it might bring you some closure.

I don't think I could deal with even one face-to-face.

It would bring up just too many bad memories.

Maybe this is a good way to get over them.

I've spent half my life successfully locking them away. Well, maybe that was

the wrong course of action, honey.

You're telling me this now?

I'm sick just even thinking about it. Look, what I am telling you is that I

don't think we can keep Melissa in the dark for much longer.

Because she's a smart and determined girl, a woman.

She's growing up fast, and she wants to know Beth now more than ever.

I don't even want to think about that. I can't.

We have to focus on Phil right now. Mel will calm down.

Phil's problems can't wait.

The other one?

No, no, no, thank you.

No, I've already gotten emotional enough about losing Lauren to the world.

Another glass and I'd probably flood your bar with waterworks.

You know, there aren't many things in life harder than having to let go of

your kids.

especially when we're talking about good ones like the ones we have. Like you

said, they're so damn innocent.

All you want to do is protect them.

I guess I didn't need that third class to start Joe.

I can't believe that my little baby is all grown up.

When she leaves this year, she leaves for good.

Not for good.

She's always going to be there. She's always going to be your best friend.

No more than a phone call or one of those video chatty things.

Whatever the kids are calling it, I am so out of it.

Not to me.

I mean, maybe because I was a crazed MK fan, but you look the same to me now as

you did back in the glory days.

I am warning you right now, another compliment like that, and you're going

to force me to go dig out my parachute pad.

I have to go.

It's really late.

Thank you, though, for listening.

No, yeah, no, of course.

It's been my pleasure.

I tend to not only get emotional, but I also get a little chatty when I've had

some wine.

It's amazing the difference between one and two glasses. I start to, well, like

I am now.

But thank you again. I feel a lot better.

Good, I'm glad.

Oh, and thank you, you know.

Listen, you were there for me when I reached out, so I just want to let you

know that I'm here as well for you whenever you need, okay?

How's your cut?

I will survive, thank you. Stupid cereal box.

I'm sorry for the lack of ingredients.

Kind of what happens when you make an impromptu trip to the beach without

going to the market first.

What are you talking about? You mean you don't normally make spicy grilled cheese

sandwiches using cereal stuck together with honey as bread?

No, I mean, only for special occasion, of course. Oh, yeah?

Well, you have to admit, it looks pretty good.

It does look pretty good. And this cheese coming out of this can is

delectable. You can already tell.

Do you want some? Do you want some of that?

I cannot believe you just did that.

Oh, my God. I have the bigger arsenal here, okay? What do you want on your

face first? You want honey or you want avocado?

That's not avocado. That's wasabi. Yes, it is. I'm figuring that out with my

cuts. Come here. Come here. Come here. Is that better? Yes.

Thank you.

Jeez.

Oh. We make a great team. Do we?

Do you mean in the kitchen or musical?

Both.

Yeah?

Maybe we should combine the two.

What do you mean?

If I could just get this cereal to stick to this honey, we'd be on our way to

having tasty treats.

Yes! Alright.

I got cereal on the table, cheese on my face. We are making a mess in this

place.

There you go.

Hold on, you still have cheese on your face. Come here.

Thank you.

You have honey on yours.

That's good.

Yeah, it is.

Listen up, guys.

Do you go to West Valley Charter?

Do you know who Lauren paid us?

I need you guys to do me a favor.

I need to know if Lauren has any enemies at school.

And why should we tell you?

Here's what you should tell me.

Adriana masters.

Adriana hates her.

Thanks, kid.

Dad? Yes.

I'm tired, Adriana. What is it?

I'm waiting. What do you want to tell me?

Look, I just... I just wanted to say goodnight.

Are you sure nothing's wrong?

Positive.

Good night.

You look tired. Get some sleep.

the truth is shown will you still want me

We may believe.

Will you still love me? On and on and on and on.

After the truth is shown.

Will you still want me?

When you still had me

On

and on and on and on After

the lights are gone

The truth is showing that you still want

I'm looking for Adriana Masters.

Uh, yeah, that's me.

I know you. You're Eddie Duran's ex-girlfriend.

Uh, ex-fiancee.

You're really pretty.

I know.

Can I come in?

Um, wait, what's this all about?

Lauren Tate.

I need your help.

I've seen you before.

Colorado shop.

Did he send you here to keep tabs on my boy, Phil?

The hell are you doing? Get lost, old man.

I want you to leave my son alone.
