Original subtitles

Does being a rock star mean you have superpowers?

Of course.

Why?

Can you stop time?

Why? We don't need to stop time. We can just stay here.

Exactly where we are.

I wish.

I totally would, but it's getting late.

Spring break's over.

We've got school tomorrow.

What are you doing?

Shh.

I'm trying to stop time. I'm concentrating.

Did it work?

You know, I used to hear all the kids talk about how great their spring breaks

were. It was the most amazing thing ever.

Cruises and Cancun and Hawaii.

I think this is the best spring break ever.

And it's all because of you.

I'm going to call you after seven period tomorrow.

Okay.

Drop out.

What do you need a degree for? You're going to be a rock star.

I love the way that you believe in me.

You make me feel like I could do anything.

Because you can't.

Well, until I get my master's in rock star ology, I think I'm going to need

that high school diploma.

Okay, fine.

You really think a high school diploma is that important?

I'm kidding.

Hey.

You need to be proud of your performance tonight.

It was epic.

You were phenomenal.

It was one and a half songs. So?

None of that matters.

You were you up there.

Okay? You shined. All on your own.

Did I shine up the sky?

Okay, well, if we were outside, I'm sure you would have. And I already told you,

I am not your secret admirer, okay?

I don't need to be secret about the way I feel about you.

Well, thank you for everything.

And I loved your performance tonight. I thought the songs were perfect.

Chloe, why are you here talking about Katie Duran? That was two years ago.

Eddie and I are over. Why would I care?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you were the one driving the car that clipped Max

and Katie's, causing it to crash, killing her. That is an absolute lie.

Where did you even hear something so outrageous?

Good evening.

Quick question for you. Did you happen to buy a blue 325CI convertible a couple

years back from Chloe Carter?

You did.

Excellent.

Do you still have it? Because I'd like to come look at it.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I might even be interested in buying it if it's on the market.

Do you think you could send me some photos?

Hey, Tracy.

Eddie's concert's over.

Got a few things to wrap up, then I'm coming straight home.

I really wish you'd been here.

I love you.

I thought you left.

So much going on.

Anyways, what's the word on the show?

If there was one word for it, it would be buzzy.

And that's not even a word.

I'm already receiving phone calls about Lauren, the buzz on her performance.

It's through the roof.

Wow, that's great. Good for you.

So what are people saying about Eddie?

Good. All good.

Okay, well, you need to tell me how you want me to handle this, how you want me

to handle Lauren, since I'm not going to be working for you anymore.

Well, I'll give you another week. You know, that way you can wrap up any loose

ends and get some time to find another gig.

And I'll make any calls you need me to make.

Okay, thanks.

You know, I wish, obviously, that things would have... I don't.

Hey.

I'm going to go get some grub, and the guys will log up after you, okay? Max,

about Eddie's concert.

Hey, Eddie was terrific.

This proves that he has grown as an artist.

I'm very proud of him, and you should be too, okay?

But why would Tyler make up such a vicious story about you if it wasn't

true? Easy.

His life is in shambles. He keeps blaming Eddie and me for his pathetic

life.

Tyler and I, we got in a fight, but I never thought that he would take it this

far.

Well, why would he come to me?

He knows I got your back.

Exactly. He knows you have my back.

He knew that you would come running to me, telling me everything.

So you're saying he's simply messing with you.

He's showing you what he's capable of just to try to hurt you.

Sick, isn't it?

He can't handle that I don't love him. He thinks I'm trying to ruin his career.

It's his pathetic, knee-jerk way of handling it.

FYI, he also hinted that Eddie might be suspicious.

What? No, this is ludicrous, Lily. It's a pathetic attempt from a pathetic man,

if you can even call him that.

If you say so.

Lily, what are you even doing here? Are you here as a friend or as a reporter

trying to get the ultimate story?

I'm here as a friend, of course.

Well, the fact that you're even here makes me think it's for your own

benefit.

Just chill, Chloe.

I'm on your side.

Just trying to warn you.

I am 100% innocent. I had nothing to do with Katie's accident or her death.

Someone sent me some J-pigs.

How sexy is that?

You always look so smokin' in those set of wheels, Chloe Carter.

Liz, this is a surprise.

I didn't expect to see you here, Aunt Beth. I mean, did you know she was

coming, Mom?

I'm sorry, Aunt Lisa.

I didn't.

I should probably get going.

What, you don't like family reunions?

Come on, stay. It'll be fun.

Okay, you can go.

Although, if this wasn't so depressing, I'd ask you to film everything. This

footage would be great for a reality TV show.

It'd be like Wife Swap, but with kids.

Kid Swap.

Good luck.

It was great seeing you guys.

I'll call you later.

So, what are we chatting about?

Just because you told me about the heist doesn't mean you're supposed to tag

along. I had to. No, you didn't. And stop talking like that, because this

isn't the movies. I hope not. The guy who doesn't belong always takes a

bullet. Exactly, which is why you should let the police handle the situation.

Look, I'm not going to sit by and stand and wait and see what happens with my

son, okay?

So you know Phil's in there?

I haven't seen him, but his girlfriend told me that he was here, yeah. Yeah,

and Phil told us that he'd be at the warehouse in Sun Valley. They're not

exactly the most reliable duo.

Now, I'm going to go check with my guy on the scene. You go home, Gus. Get some

rest. Oh, what are you, a doctor now too, detective?

No. I just got enough common sense to know that if I'd just gotten released

from the hospital with a stab wound, the last place I'd be in the middle of the

night is at a crime scene. Yeah, well, I guess that's where you and I differ,

isn't it?

Get out of here.

Unless you're going to arrest me, Detective, I'm staying.

I apologize for coming here

unannounced. Well, I guess that makes two of us, right?

Your Palm Springs visit.

Melissa, after I saw you, so many thoughts went through my head.

And in the end, I realized that I wanted to try and reconnect

with Lisa, but she's made it clear that I'm not welcome here.

Not that I blame her.

Why'd you give me up?

Didn't you love me?

What kind of mother doesn't love their own baby?

It's not an excuse.

There's no excuse.

All I can say is that I was young and scared and really messed up.

And that I wasn't fit to be a mother.

Did you ever think about me?

Did you ever worry about me?

Did you ever wonder how I was doing after you abandoned me?

Don't say abandoned. Why?

That's what it was. I was abandoned.

I think about you all the time.

But I was too ashamed to reach out to you.

There are no words to describe the guilt that I felt and still feel for having

given up my own.

Flesh and blood. I'm so sorry.

Sorry's not good enough.

Sorry's what you say when you forget to take out the trash, not when you forget

to raise your own kid.

I think you need to tone it down, Melissa.

Tone it down?

You two have been conspiring against me for 18 years. I think I'm entitled to be

a little unreasonable tonight.

I'm just saying that Beth is fragile.

She's not used to your methods of communication.

Yeah, well, I'm not used to finding out my mother isn't my mother.

There's a really beautiful photograph next to the bathroom mirror of the two

of you in New York City.

No, it's the Vegas version. It's not the real thing.

It's as close as Lisa will get to Manhattan.

Really?

Lisa, I thought you wanted to live in the village. You don't read your poetry

in coffee shops.

Yeah, I never got there.

I got busy with real life.

Oh.

Still, it's a nice shot.

So, you've been to New York?

Do you love it?

Well, it would seem like I would.

But it's too noisy. It's too busy. And there's too many ways to get into

trouble. I see.

Hey, would you mind sharing some more photos of your childhood with me?

If you think it's a good idea.

Sure.

I want Beth to see all the great moments she missed out on.

No, no, no, Lisa, I'll get it. I know where you hide all the old photos,

remember?

Okay,

let's

see. Where to begin?

These?

Oh, uh, these are me as a newborn.

which is before you gave up on me, so you probably don't need to see these. We

can just skip over that.

Oh, here you go.

First steps.

It's an important milestone.

Look at you.

Wow.

Look at those eyes. You are so cute.

When did your hair come in?

I didn't tell you.

I just know I started out as a blonde.

Oh, this is my third birthday party.

Wait, no.

It's my brother.

Me and my cousin.

This is middle school. This is a dance I went to.

This was 4th of July, I think.

Oh, you made me a cake.

Impressive, Mom.

Yes, I did.

We'll disregard the grocery store cake box on the counter because this baby is

from scratch.

Sparkling cider.

Oh, don't mind if I do.

Well, yours is sparkling cider.

Okay, so this is cause for celebration.

I'm so proud of you. You were brilliant tonight.

A true artist.

Thank you.

But I can't believe Eddie tricked me like that and brought me up on stage

with him. I love that he did that. You were so nervous. It was such a great way

to introduce you and for the crowd to warm up to you.

Yeah, but I was a wreck. I mean, I was terrified at first.

Well, you didn't show it. I mean, I didn't see any sign of stage fright.

Yeah, but that's only because I was able to sing to Eddie the whole time. I mean,

I don't know if I would have been able to make it through the performance

without that.

You only think that you were singing to Eddie.

I mean, once you got into it, you were in your own world up there. It was...

It was breathtaking.

Really? Yeah,

you were a pro.

I mean, it was like you had been on that stage all your life.

That's really nice of you to say.

But I'm telling you, even if I wasn't looking at him the whole time, just the

fact that he was there just made everything seem easier.

I don't know if I would have that confidence without him.

Well, you better get prepared.

Because after what you did tonight...

I think the opportunities are gonna be rolling in.

I don't know what you're talking about. You do not want to mess with me.

Have you been working out or something? Because you usually don't push me back

that far. How could you tell Lily?

You saw this coming. I warned you.

I'm done protecting you. This? This is too much. I never thought that you would

go to the press.

Do you even comprehend the consequences if Lily does something with this? Who

cares? I don't owe you any explanation.

And besides, it's not a lie. You killed Katie.

We did. You were in that car, too. If you go fully public with this, you're

going to be in just as much trouble as I am.

I love how you still think that that would bother me.

Do you hate me that much now that you'd really go to prison as well?

i tracked down the car from the person who bought it that doesn't prove

anything maybe in the 20th century but with today's forensics i'm pretty sure

they could put the pieces together what pieces do i have to spell it out for you

the police report mentioned that the car that clipped max's that sent it crashing

into a tree happened to be blue and were you screwed up

Is that you got the car repaired a couple days after the crash and then

sold it. You told me to get it repaired. You sent me to that place in Glendale,

which proves that you're involved too.

What place in Glendale?

Do you have the address?

No.

Do you have any witnesses?

Nope.

Do you have a receipt?

Nope, because you paid in cash.

Tyler, please.

I will do anything. Just please make this stop now. No, it's too late for

that, babe.

Because all I want is to see you burn.

And to see Eddie realize that the woman he almost married kills his mom.

God, no, please. It's too cruel.

It's going to be a glorious moment.

It'll be great. You know what? I'm wasting time right now.

Maybe I'll just tell Eddie right now.

things to wrap up then i'm coming straight home i uh really wish you'd

been here i love you

Now, can we stop tiptoeing around the subject like I'm a little kid and tell

me what the record company said?

They're concerned.

How concerned?

Very.

I mean, you know how fast this moves, man. They get some so-so fan response

online and they start freaking out.

Okay, this material felt good, Jake. I put everything I had into it. Listen,

I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you, man. Listen, people don't want

introspective Eddie.

All right, they want feel-good, something in the air Eddie.

So, what are they suggesting?

They want to have a powwow to discuss new material for your next album.

New material? What does that mean?

They want to hear some new songs before you head into the studio.

Forget it. I stand by my stuff.

Is everything all right? I mean, I can understand you not finishing the

champagne, but the cake? It's not like you.

You know what?

Everything's fine.

Mom, it's chocolate cake.

Who are you trying to fool?

I broke up with Don.

Oh. That's news.

Do you mind if I... Oh, yeah, go ahead.

So, what happened?

Well, he came by the club tonight because he's suspicious of me and Max.

Rightfully so. Lauren. What? It's true.

I know, but I just feel really bad about it. He just didn't take it very well.

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of relieved.

I started to see what you were talking about.

He's been acting really...

Weird lately.

How so?

Well, you know how he wanted me to be a partner in the clinic?

Well, when my loan fell through, he acted really strange. And then come to

find out, he wanted that money for personal expenses.

Wow.

So he's just as scheming and manipulative as his own daughter.

And that's what makes me so upset. I mean, not that I broke up with him, but

just that he turned out to be such a rageaholic jerk.

Still gonna work for him? I hope so.

I really can't afford to lose this job.

Oh, it's Kelly.

Wasn't it a little late?

Not if you're on rock and roll standard time.

Hey, Kelly, what's up? We got a couple of offers, but these aren't small indie

ones like before. I'm talking major labels here.

That's unbelievable.

After your performance tonight, I'm not surprised.

And the best offer came from Eddie's label.

Wow. Do you think we should take it? I think we'd be crazy not to, but we

should hold off and just see what else comes in. Thank you so much for

everything.

Bye.

Mom, are you ready for this?

We've got offers for a record deal.

My little girl's going to be a star.

Do you know what this means?

You're not going to have to worry about work again.

I'm going to go call Melissa.

Oh, let me guess.

Another message from your secret admirer?

No. Well, at least I don't think so.

I finally found the document you needed. I scanned it, and I'm sending you off an

email right now.

Yeah, I'm sorry I'm missing the conference too, but I'd be useless. I'm

running a temp.

I gotta go.

This picture in the bath has to be me unless Phil got a sex change.

A lot of kids go through an ugly phase.

Not me.

This is the first time I rode a bike without training wheels.

It was also the first time I broke a bone.

See, it's the same outfit in both pictures. It was just a few hours later.

I was so proud of that pain cast.

Still can't ride a bike to this day.

I did the right thing leaving you behind.

What was that?

I made the right choice, Melissa.

How can you say that?

You had a much better life living with my sister and with Gus than I could ever

have given you. Why are you saying this? Stop. I don't want to hear this. If

you'd stayed with me, you probably would have turned out just like me.

Or worse.

What just happened?

No.

Hey, sorry I woke you.

Jalapeno and pineapple?

It's my favorite.

Yeah, I just thought if you were still up, you might like to share a late night

supper with me.

But you hate jalapeno and pineapple.

I mean, hate's a strong word, you know?

Yeah, okay, you're right.

That is disgusting, and as far as I'm concerned, that's not even pizza, but,

uh...

I know you love it.

No, thanks.

I already ate.

So, look, tell me, what can I do to make this better?

I'm guessing that's not your first?

That's my first bottle.

Care to join me?

Ah, for the company.

Not the booze.

Suit yourself.

Someone feeling sorry for himself tonight?

I'm not. I just thought tonight would come off better than it did.

It was good.

I mean, you used to be adored by your fans. When it doesn't happen, it just

stings, huh?

I've had bad shows before.

Yeah, but not like this one.

Yeah, two years ago in Atlanta, remember when Matty broke his ankle and we had to

get that drummer the last minute?

The light board went out twice.

I think you do bad, bad shows because of the usual nonsense, but this is

different. You know,

this time it was just you and your songs.

It was a tougher crowd than I thought.

They like Lauren.

Are you trying to cheer me up or maybe jump off a bridge? I'm trying to welcome

you to the club because tonight...

You have graduated. You are a true musician, Eddie Duran. Because I

flopped? Yes, because you flopped. Because we all have to at some point. It

helps us build scar tissue, you know?

Helps us become better and better. That's when the real stuff gets here.

What, you and Mom went through this? We did. We totally did.

At the beginning, we literally had to fight the audience to get their

attention. I mean, literally.

We had...

Bottles thrown at stage.

You see that?

Right there?

Reno, Nevada, 1987.

Had to finish my set and then go to the hospital and get eight stitches.

You told me that scar was from when you were little and Aunt Carla threw a

chalkboard at you. You're totally missing the point. Right.

You are.

We're talking about building scar tissues so you can be that much better.

Maybe.

It still feels pretty terrible.

Hey.

Hey. Thanks for letting me come by so late. Yeah, well, your text seemed

urgent, so what's going on?

Melissa's in a dark place.

Well, yeah, I think that's pretty understandable.

Totally. But things got more intense.

When I dropped her off at home after the concert, her aunt's, I mean, bio-mom was

there.

Really? Yeah, I got out as fast as I could. I am not good with awkward

situations. Oh, I know. That seems pretty awkward.

So uncomfortable.

Well, how was Mel? Was she freaking out?

That's what I really wanted to talk to you about.

I'm afraid that she's so overwhelmed by the whole thing that she's going to make

some bad, quick decision that she'll regret down the road.

What do you mean?

Like with her dad, saying that he's just some guy.

Gus is her dad.

I mean, he's always loved her and treated her like a princess.

I think that's why she insists we all treat her like one, too.

I know.

And deep down, I know Mel knows, too.

But the way she's acting, it's like she's throwing him to the side.

Well, I appreciate you telling me.

I'll talk to her, okay?

Thanks. I feel horrible.

Because you feel like you're going behind her back?

You're not.

I'm her best friend.

I mean, she needs all the love and help and support she can get right now.

Actually, it's not it.

I feel horrible because I feel helpless.

I want to be there for her, but I'm way out of my element here.

And it kind of bums me out because I think I'm falling in love with her.

I'm surprised you didn't chase after Beth.

Would you like to call her?

No.

Let her go. She made her choice.

Melissa, imagine what she's going through.

I am so sick of imagining what other people are feeling.

Imagine what I'm feeling.

Listen to me.

I know.

that she thought the two of you could reconnect and have some sort of

relationship again.

But she sat there looking through all those old photos.

I'm sure she felt that there was too much history, too much of your life that

she missed out on.

Why'd she have to run?

That's what some people do when there's a difficult situation.

Some people stay and fight.

Beth has always been...

A runner?

Yeah, well, I don't understand that.

Maybe because I'm a fighter.

Like me?

So have we heard from Dad yet?

What's going on with Phil? Is he in jail?

Please don't say that.

Phil needs to know that we're on his side.

And we're back to normal.

Melissa.

Melissa.

Sit down.

Sit. You disgust me.

I can't believe my daughter finds anything redeeming about you. What's in

the bag?

You broke in the previous time, too.

Right?

How'd you work your way around the security?

Adriana must have helped you. No.

She had nothing to do with this, I swear. Of course, of course she had

something to do with this. But don't worry.

I'll call the cops.

Put all the blame on you.

Just hear me out, all right?

Do you enjoy breaking into my clinic, stealing drugs? This was an accident?

I'm serious. Look, this guy I work for, he forced me to steal... Who is this

guy? You better off not knowing. You can tell me.

I'll call the cops right now.

Wait. Nine, one. His name's Colorado.

Now we're talking.

He owns an auto repair shop in that nice.

Stay here and don't say a word.

Understand?

Good evening, gentlemen. Everything all right?

We were actually just going to ask you the same thing.

Sorry to just drop by like this, but we got a tip.

There might be something going down here at the clinic this evening.

Really?

That's strange, because I've been here all night working. It's been quiet.

I haven't heard anything.

Sure. There's been nothing out of the ordinary tonight.

Positive.

But I appreciate you fellas being so thorough.

Good night.

Damn it, Don.

My son could be in real trouble, and your daughter told me that he would be

here. If I saw your son, I would tell you. Unfortunately, I haven't.

I heard you got stabbed. I'm sorry.

It's good to see you up and about.

Look, if you see him... Yes, I'll let you and the cops know.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.

Well, the pizza will make a good, unhealthy breakfast in the morning.

Thanks. Yeah.

You know, the only thing worse than jalapeno and pineapple pizza is a cold

jalapeno and pineapple pizza.

How'd the concert go?

Not good.

There's some major issues with Eddie's new material.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'll let Kelly go.

You do realize it's not an answer to our problem, right?

I know.

So you accept that there's something wrong with our marriage, something that

doesn't really have anything to do with Kelly?

Yeah.

And maybe there is.

You still trying to steal these?

What?

What are you doing? Look at me. Are you?

What a degenerate you are.

Get out of here.

Boy, I changed my mind.

No cops?

What'd you tell them? None of your business.

Why are you still here? I told you to get out of here.

Don't leave me empty-handed here, man.

What do you mean?

How much is this stuff worth?

Worth enough that I'm a dead man if I don't bring him those meds. Colorado

will kill me.

That's not my problem.

Might hurt Adriana, too.

Colorado knows about my daughter? I'm sorry. I tried to protect her, all

right? Get out of here.

Get out of here before I get rid of you myself.

Stay away from my daughter. It's the last time I'm going to tell you. Stay

away from her!

We got no sign of the suspect.

I think we got let on a wild goose chase.

Damn kids.

Yeah.

Hey, do me a favor by Colorado's place. I just, I want to make sure that there's

nothing unusual going on over there.

I'll head there now. Thank you.

Adriana? Adriana, where are you?

Listen, this situation took a very strange turn. We need to talk. As soon

as you get this, call me, okay?

This is so not like Mel.

I mean, I called her, texted her, emailed her.

It's like she fell off the grid.

This is exactly what I was talking about. I knew something was up.

No, no, she's okay.

She just needs some time to clear her thoughts. And sometimes the only way to

do that is to unplug everything.

Maybe I should go back to Mel's house.

Do you really want to be stuck in the middle of all that? She's probably

furious at me for leaving her in the lurch.

No, you did the right thing.

I mean, I know Mel better than anyone.

Most of the time, she's her lovable, larger-than-life persona, but sometimes

she's all introspective and needs to deal with things in her own way.

I just think this is one of those times.

Are you just saying that to make me feel better?

No. You did exactly what you were supposed to do. You gave her the space

that she needed.

I just don't want to mess this up.

Adam, you have nothing to worry about in the boyfriend department.

Okay? I know that Mel is...

Truly, madly, deeply crazy about you two.

You know, for a rock star, you're pretty easy to talk to.

I am not a rock star.

Yet.

Melissa would love that you added yet.

You know, you're pretty easy to talk to for someone who got into NYU.

Congratulations.

Thanks. She told you?

Yeah, she was super excited for you.

But... Yeah, it's a little scary for everyone.

Yeah. Well, thank you for talking to me about this, okay? And, you know, if we

don't hear from her by the morning, then we will go and find her and figure this

all out, okay?

Sounds like a plan.

Thanks.

Yeah, don't worry.

I know it's going to take a while, but Mel's going to get through this, okay?

I'm a little surprised your father hasn't called with an update on Phil

yet.

No news is good news, right?

Don't you want to talk about Beth's visit? No, I really don't.

I think you should.

I'm shocked that she was even here.

The way she left.

What I'm even more shocked about is that you stayed out of her way while I showed

her all those old photos.

I stayed close by.

But the two of you had a lot of catching up to do.

You didn't need me getting in the way.

So does this mean you want Beth to be back in my life?

First and foremost, I want you to know, you are my daughter.

You always have been, and you always will be.

What scares me is your anger and confusion.

You don't think I have a right to be a little angry and confused?

I do.

You are completely justified, but my fear is that it'll pull you towards Beth

and away from our family.

But I also don't want to impose myself on you in a way that's going to push you

away even more.

I'm at a loss about what to do, Melissa. I want to be a good mother.

I want to be your mother.

What do you think about that?

You know, the truth is, I know that my music is moving me in the right

direction, but Jake said the record company is concerned and they want to

have a meeting.

Okay, don't let them crush your spirit, okay?

I won't.

You sound like Mom.
