All language subtitles for Identity.Theft.of.a.Cheerleader.2019.1080p.WEBRip

Five, six, seven, eight.

The "B" is for bounce,

the "E" is for energy!

"S" is for smashing!

No, we're not bashing!

"T" is for terrific!

We're the B.E.S.T.!

Best!

All right, ladies,

if I call your name,
you've made the team.

Sara,

Avery, Hailey...

Yes!

Sophie,

Tina,

Jada,

and lastly, Kelly,
is our team captain.

Congratulations.

I'll see you at practice.

Hey, Vicky,
you almost screwed me

on that last formation
during my cheer,

and if you would have cost me
a spot on the team,

I would have seriously
killed you.

Maybe she was distracted,

dreaming of Jason.

Aww, that's right.

Were you dreaming about

how cute you two
would be together?

Because keep dreaming,

Jason would never go out with
a loser like you.

I mean, did you really think
you'd make the team?

So?

I, um...
I didn't make it.

Well then,
you didn't try hard enough.

I did.

Well then,
you would have made it.

This is where
it all starts, Vicky.

I mean, look at me.

First, I was cheer captain,

then I was president
of Alpha Phi,

and now I'm in line
to make partner.

But you couldn't
make Dad stay.

You lack ambition, Vicky,

and without it,
you will amount to nothing,

because my father was right,

second is only first loser.

Jason would never go out

with a loser like you..

...You will amount to nothing.

Did you really think
you'd make the team?

...Second...

...is only first loser.

I'm thinking I'll put
that kitchen set on hold.

Doug's only got, like,
two plates and a frying pan,

and I want to make him dinners.

Oh, don't start
setting that bar too high,

he'll be expecting it.

What about school?

I'm not going back.

Doug's due for a good raise,

and I'll just get
a second job till then.

But it's your last year.

I mean, if I had
a chance to go back,

I definitely would.

Seriously, Caitlyn,
you should do it.

Seriously, Vicky,
you sound like my mother.

I transferred some money
for your birthday.

I figured after 30,

one doesn't need
pointless gifts.

Thanks.

So,

does that leech of yours
have a job yet?

Darren's not a leech, Mom,

and he's looking,

there's just
not a lot out there.

Not without a degree.

I've actually been thinking
about going to night school.

Maybe I'll use my birthday money
to pay for it.

I could even
work towards a degree.

Wouldn't that be great?

Well, it's harder to break in
at your age.

My junior associate.

Now, there's a success story.

Lisa?

You're not still
at the office, are you?

Of course, you are.

Well, let me pull that up
on my computer.

Okay...

Happy birthday to me.

Hi!

How was Mommy Warbucks?

She take care of you
for your birthday?

There were no warm and fuzzy
Hallmark sentiments,

but she did transfer me money.

Sweet.

So, how's the job hunt going?

It's going,

and I promise, when I get
my first pay cheque,

I am going to get you a big,
fancy, overpriced gift,

but until then,

you are going to have to
settle for all of this.

Oh, yeah...

and I know
you can't resist it...

and it is your birthday...

so, I promise...

to take real good care of you.

-Yeah?
-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah...
-Oh, yeah.

Vicky?

Oh, yeah, I'll be right out.

Actually,
I need to talk to you.

I just got off the phone
with head office.

They're forcing me
to make layoffs,

and you were the last
full-timer hired, so...

I have to give you
your two-week notice.

I'm really sorry, Vicky.

This is it.

First day of our final year.

That's right,
the freedom countdown is on!

Man, they should make, like,
a graduating advent calendar.

And what would be behind
every door?

You know, like, doctors' notes
to get out of class.

Or better,

-Cheat notes.
-Yes...

You know, if the whole
basketball thing

doesn't work out,

you could patent that.

All right, let's go.

See you in First?

Yeah, save me a seat.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Uh, so you know
why he didn't date anyone

over the summer, right?

Because he was focused
on training camp?

More like because of you.

He is holding out, Heather.

Guys, I told you,
we're just friends,

and I don't want to ruin that.

Fine,

just so you know, he isn't
going to hold out forever.

Let's go, girls.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Take it up and down the court
if you're not conditioned.

If you're not conditioned,
you're not gonna play.

Let's go!

Let's go, Liam.

Let's go!

So I think
we should come up with

fresh cheers and routines
this year.

You know, stuff to really
make us stand out?

Maddy, you're going to be fine.

You're probably
going to make captain again.

I was already out
an entire season,

and I'm really worried
my ankle's gonna give out.

You have nothing to worry
about either, all right?

I got you covered.

Come on, let's try one.

Five, six, seven, eight!

Ready...

okay.

Cougar spirit.

Yeah,

get up,

get up,
let's hear you say it!

Cougars!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Actually, that one
wasn't that bad.

-Hey.
-Hey.

A new computer?

Yeah.

Where'd you get that?

Online.

I mean, uh, how did you get it?

I used some of the money
your mom gave you.

Isn't it great?

I can use it for my resume,

and you can use it
for that night school

you were talking about.

But I was going
to use that money

to pay for night school.

Oh, well, just hit
your mom up for some more.

You know, she's always going off
about how you ruined your life

dropping out, so--

Darren, you know how much
I hate asking her for anything.

Hey, I was just trying to do
something good, all right?

! You stupid girl!

If you drop out now,
you'll end up nowhere!

You won't have a chance!

Hi, I was just wondering
if you could tell me

how to apply
for unemployment?

Oh, my God, that is so lit.

Sick.

Yolo.

Yo- Yolo.

Can you just skurt...

Spill that tea, girl.

So when's the recruiter
for Atlanta State coming out?

Coach says he'll probably
show up for the first game.

Hmm, no pressure there.

It's all pressure.

I mean, high school
is supposed to be fun,

but we have college applications
to think about,

recruiters, initiatives...

It's like what we do now
determines everything.

Whoa, heavy.

It is. It is heavy,

but she's right.

Thank you.

Hey, new girl alert.

That could be fun.

For you, of course,

I've already got
my ball and chain.

Gosh, I couldn't imagine
starting at a new school

in senior year.

Starting any school is rough.

I mean, Liam was the only one
nice to me at Glendale.

That's 'cause
he's a sweetheart.

Oh, come on, babe, I'm sweet.

Uh, are you?

Mm-hmm.

No.

No, no, no, no!

Okay, I received
your transcript

from Armour Heights,

but your enrollment's
incomplete.

I know, my mom,
she works a lot,

and my dad's not really around,

so I guess it never got done.

I can complete it now
if you have your student I.D.

Sure, I should have
my old one...

I am so sorry,
I must have lost it.

Please, I just want to finish
my senior year.

Well, the most
important thing, Caitlyn,

is that you've made it
to school,

so let's get you to class.

How many of you have heard of
the poem "The Sick Rose"

by William Blake?

Well, all of you will know it

because I want you
to read it tonight

and write a paragraph
on its meaning,

and no Google interpretations,
thank you.

Sorry for the interruption,
Ms. Christie,

but you have a new student,
Caitlyn Sparks.

Welcome, Caitlyn.

I think there's one desk
left near the back,

and you can share Heather's text
until you get your own.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah.

All right.

William Blake.

Now, who was he,
and why was he so influential?

Come on, people.

No one's going to hold
your hand in college.

Anyone?

Great.

Now you can add that
to your essays.

Is it just me,

or is Ms. Christie
a serious bitch?

She's just tough, Maddy.

Um, in teacher's terms,
that's a bitch.

That's yours!

Got it!

Sorry, I thought
you were going to miss it.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh, like,
did you see that dive?

Like... bam!

Yeah, directly into
the new girl, Maddy.

Okay, she was going to miss it,

and I said sorry.

Where is she anyway?

Short shift?

Yeah.

You know, you don't
have to hide it.

I know you've been gambling.

I won 58 bucks.

You said you were going to use
that to work on your resume.

I did.
It's all done, babe.

Right.

Yeah.

Come on, Vicky.

You've got 12 years on them.

You've got this.

Yeah...

I've got this.

I twisted my ankle today
in practice.

Well, honey, your x-rays show
that you're fully healed.

I know, it's just,
the whole point

of me being on the team
these past three years

was to help fill out
my application.

I mean, besides drama,

Glendale doesn't really have
a lot in the arts department,

and I really, really
want to go to Carnegie.

Hello?

Lauren?

Oh, congratulations, sweetheart.

Can you come home for a night,
for a visit, or...

No, I completely understand.

That's... fine.

I love you, too.

Your sister's getting
her three-month sobriety pin

next week.

That's amazing, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

So I think we should plan
a year-end grad trip.

I know, I know,
road trip.

We should, like,
rent a Winnebago.

That's it...

Hey...

Hey.

Did you get your books?

Yeah.

Right here.

All right, who's going to
start the class

by telling us what
"The Sick Rose" is all about?

Liam?

I, uh...

saw it as maybe he was
talking about an intruder.

You know, someone unwanted
coming in, to do harm,

like, maybe even a stalker?

Really?

Well, then you must not have
taken the time

to read it properly

because I'm sure that's not
what Blake meant.

Anyone else?

Actually, Ms. Christie...

poems are meant to be
open to interpretation,

especially Blake's poems,

which have baffled artists
for a long time,

so I don't know how you could
say it's wrong.

Boom.

Well, I'm glad to see
someone's done their homework.

I'll collect your essays
after class.

For now, let's move on.

Nice one.

Maybe just call it next time.

For sure.

Period's over, girls,

but remember,

first-round cheer tryouts
this Friday.

Let's go.

I don't believe it,
I've lost my key, again.

Well, just get Ms. Travis
to open it with the master.

And get a lecture?

Right.

Hey, Caitlyn,

are you going to
try out for cheer?

Huh?

Oh, uh, I think so.

Did you cheer
at your old school?

I did.

Yeah, I almost didn't
make the team, though,

'cause this one girl slipped up
and almost dropped me.

What?

That would have sucked.

Seriously, right?

Are those the new Strikers?

The 1080s.

Nice.

Hey, so is it just me,

or is Ms. Christie
kind of a bitch?

See? It is not just me.

Okay, fine.

It was cool
the way you stood up to her.

Yeah, well,

if there's one thing
I've learned,

teachers do not know everything.

You got that right.

Okay, let's go find Ms. Travis
and open your locker.

See you later?

-Bye.
-Bye.

I think I'm going to try
this new keto diet.

Yeah, but that means
you don't eat carbs,

and your life would be
really boring without carbs.

Oh...

I'll text later, yeah?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Heather.

Oh, hey.

Do you live around here?

Yeah, I'm just over
on Granville.

Oh, that's awesome.
This is me here.

Oh, cool.

So what happened to your ankle?

Oh, I...
it was stupid.

I broke it last year,
like, a week into cheer season.

I tripped on a costume
I was wearing for drama.

My dad said it was just
dumb luck the way it broke.

Oh, well, it hasn't
slowed you down on the court.

I hope not.

So what school were you at?

Armour Heights,

but we had to move
because of my mom's job.

I don't mind, though, 'cause
Glendale High is awesome.

I mean, you guys
are like regional champs.

You can thank Liam
for that one.

What, is he, like,
the star athlete?

Yeah, but he's not just
some jock, you know?

Like, he studies all night,

and then he'll just
go run laps at school.

Well, his girlfriend's
pretty lucky then.

He actually doesn't have one.

Really?

Why not?

I don't know, I guess
it's just not the right time.

Huh.

Anyway, I will
see you tomorrow, yeah?

For sure.

Cool.

Nice shot.

Love the shoes.

Way to stand up to
Ms. Biatch.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What are youdoing?

Oh, let me guess,
playing poker.

Actually, yeah.

I signed up for a tourney,

and if I win,
it's a couple Gs.

Pretty sweet, right?

Why don't you do
something productive?

Like take a course,
or work out,

or get a job.

Do you know how many people
make a living from gambling,

and actually make
really good money doing it?

So this is the new plan?

No--
it's just temporary

until something hits.

Whatever.

Yeah, okay.

Senior year...

Hey...

Hey.

Thanks for having
my back yesterday.

Well, I liked
your interpretation.

I actually gave the same one
at my last school.

You did?

Mm-hmm.

That one line...

"His dark, secret love
does thy life destroy."

Totally a stalker.

Exactly, exactly.

So what did your teacher say?

He said I was wrong

and gave me a "C".

Oh, that... that sucks.

Thank you.

Just fries.

Hey, why don't you
come sit with us?

Sure.

All right.

"...when the Cougars roar

"we'll get the score

rip the competition
even more!"

Something like that,
what do you think?

I like it.

Kind of reminds me
of Dr. Seuss.

So why don't you
come up with one?

What are you guys doing?

Oh, we're coming up with
original cheers

to stand out in tryouts.

And don't worry,
you'll make it.

I mean, you have to.

You're my lucky charm, right?

I think you did just fine

when I was benched last year.

Trust me, it wasn't the same.

I came up with a cheer.

Cool, then let's hear it.

What, like, right now?

Yeah, why not?

"...So give us a test

You'll see we're the best

We're the B.E.S.T best!"

All right, ladies.

I like the effort
of making your own cheer.

Actually it was
Maddy and Heather,

they came up with it.

Well, good work, ladies.

It's earned all three of you

a shot at final tryouts
tomorrow.

Oh, that is so amazing!

Caitlyn, thank you.

Caitlyn, you didn't
have to do that.

I know, but you guys
have been so amazing to me.

You know what, I think
we need to celebrate

with a double
full-fat frappuccino.

Yes?

110% yes.

Are you going to come?

For sure.

I'll meet you
in the locker room.

Okay.

Ms. Travis?

Yes, Caitlyn?
Just a second.

I was wondering

if you could give me
any constructive feedback.

I would really like to make
cheer captain.

My mom was cheer captain,

and I know it would make her
really proud.

Well, I admire
the motivation, Caitlyn,

and if you want to know,

work on your jump height,
and we'll see.

If not captain,

you may just make co-captain.

Uh, what would the point
of that be?

I mean, that's just like
coming in second.

Nothing's wrong
with second, Caitlyn.

I'll see you tomorrow.

What are you looking at?

Exercises to improve
jump height.

Well, I think
we nailed it today.

Oh, uh, what are we doing here?

I thought we were getting
frappuccinos.

Oh, we're just grabbing
some cheap ankle socks.

Oh, well, I've got
a ton already,

so I'm just gonna
wait in the car.

Yeah? Okay, cool.

Okay, so
I was thinking that maybe...

Caitlyn!

Hey.

Hi.

Long time no see.

Yeah.

I like your hairstyle.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

I was just grabbing
a slice of pizza over at Ninos.

Nice wheels, Vicky.

Thanks.

It's my friend's car.

You know, I really
should get going--

You should come in quick
and say hi to Lynn.

She feels so bad
for having to let you go.

Well, she should feel bad.

I mean, she should have
fired you.

Come on, you just
dropped out of school,

it's not like you're going
to amount to anything

You know what,

I'm doing great,

so go screw yourself, Vicky.

Who was that?

Just some girl
from Armour Heights.

All right, girls,
let's hit the coffee shop.

Yeah.

Whoa, this is crazy, right?

Where you going now?

Out.

Wow, Vicky, you look hot.

Thanks, Roy.

Maybe it's time
you glow up, Darren.

Dude, I think
she's dissing you.

What the hell, Vicky,

you sound like
one of those idiots on MTV.

Babe, you sound so old.

MTV is, like,
barely a thing anymore.

I'm going to go work out.

All right.

Hey.

Uh, what are you doing here?

I just wanted to get
some practice in

before final tryouts.

Cool.

Well, I'm done here, so, uh,

the bleachers are all yours.

Oh, that's too bad.

You would have been
a great motivator.

I mean, you made it out here,
so you're already motivated.

Yeah.

I just want it real bad.

I'm guessing you can relate?

Yeah.

Yeah, I get it.

It must have sucked
for Heather,

being benched last year.

She, uh, she had kind of
a rough year all around.

How come?

I don't think she'd want me
talking about it.

So you guys are close?

Yeah, we're tight.

Cool.

All right.

See you at school?

For sure.

Cool.

All right, girls.

I want you all to know

that even if you didn't make
the final cut today,

you all showed incredible skill,

discipline, and determination.

And now, here are the names

Leah...

Grace...

Phoebe...

Heather....

Patty...

Avery...

Caitlyn as co-captain,

and Maddy as captain.

I've already
let the Juniors know,

the whole list is posted
outside my office.

Congratulations, ladies.

Well done.

-Maddy, good job.
-Thank you.

-Well done. Well done.
-We did it!

Congratulations, Heather,

and Maddy, you totally
deserved that.

Thanks,
and congrats to you, too.

Yeah, Caitlyn, that's awesome.

Oh, co-captain
is not a big deal.

You're captain,
so I will follow your lead.

Okay, well, we don't
want to be late for class,

so we'd better go.

Ooh, true. Bye!

Bye.

Second is just...

first loser...

Whoa! !

Vicky.

You spilled oil everywhere.

What, do you want me
to break my neck?

God...

Look at this.

Ugh, it's all in my sock.

Second is just...

first loser.

Okay, so it's front, back...

side, back.

You girls got that?

Cool, um...

let's take a break,
and then run through it.

Remember, we need it
to be perfect

for our first rally.

Alright, guess what I got.

What?

No-fat, high-performance
protein bars.

I live off those
during cheer season.

Yeah, they're, um,
just right up in my bag.

Uh, which one?

This one?

Yeah, all the way at the top.

Ah, yes.

Can you show me
that dance move again?

Yeah, yeah, it's, um...

Okay, front, back,

side, back.

So, front...

Seriously, Caitlyn,

it's so easy.

It's front, back,

side, back--

Oh, my gosh!
Go help her!

I know you're all upset
about what happened to Maddy.

She's gonna be okay,

but she can't cheer
on a fractured ankle,

so, Caitlyn,

you've been promoted to captain.

Congratulations.

Now, the pep rally
and first game of the season

are a couple of weeks away.

I expect you all
to be working hard.

Honestly, I don't
feel right about this.

Maddy should be leading us.

Coach is right.
We need a captain. Congrats.

Thanks.

Yo, Heather! Hey.

Hey.

How's Maddy doing?

Uh, she's okay.

I mean, she's pissed
she fractured her ankle.

Well, look,

my parents are out of town
this weekend,

so I was thinking of
having some people over.

Ooh! Did I just
hear of a party?

It's not a party, dude--

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yo, Caitlyn!

Guess what, Liam's throwing
a party this weekend.

What?

Don't go
spreading it around, man.

My parents will kill me.

I mean, you can come, for sure,

just don't go posting it
on social media, okay?

I got it.

I'd say us girls could
get ready at my house,

but my sister's tutoring.

What about your place, Caitlyn?

Oh, uh, my mom's hosting
this charity thing.

Well, mine are out
for their anniversary.

We can just chill there.

-Cool.
-Word.

I gotta get to drama, though.

-I'll walk with you.
-Yeah?

-Peace.
-Later.

I heard Heather
had a tough time last year,

and it wasn't just her ankle.

Yeah.

Just...

don't say anything,

but her sister kind of
went off the rails in college

and ended up in rehab.

Kind of messed up the family
for a bit.

That's harsh.

Totally,

but at least she had Liam.

Everyone thought they would
hook up then for sure,

but...

I guess never say never.

Wow.

Where are you going?

Uh, just out with
some girlfriends from work.

Really?

Well, I don't know if I can let
that hot ass of yours leave

quite yet.

Sorry.

I'm gonna be late.

You'll just have to
amuse yourself.

No, no, no...

Is Maddy going
to make it tonight?

No, her parents
won't let her,

but Craig's with her.

I knew it.

Despite being such a dick,
he totally loves her.

Oh, he totally loves her.

So I'm just gonna use
the bathroom real quick

before we go.

Yeah. Cool.

-You got it?
-Mm-hmm.

I like the leopard
better than the green.

So, who's ready to party?

Yeah.

Let's go.

That was an amazing dinner.

It was good,

but I still think that
Carl's fish was better.

I can't disagree.

Heather?

Oh, they must have
gone out already.

Do you want some coffee?

Yeah, that'd be great,
but, uh, decaf, yeah?

Okay.

What is it?

I'll be right back.

Hey, Mom!

Heather, your father and I
want you to come home.

It's only 10:00.

Just get in an Uber
and come home.

Okay. Yeah, okay.

Hey. Is everything okay?

No, I gotta go.

What, you can't leave.

I know, I'm sorry,
but when you see Liam,

will you tell him that
I'll call him later?

Yeah, of course.

Alright, bye.

Hey.

I love the photos
you have around the house.

They're so cute.

Your parents
are understandably proud.

Thanks.

I'm sure your parents have
embarrassing photos of you

on display as well.

Yeah.

Hey, so, um,
Heather just left.

Why?

I don't know,

maybe she wasn't into it.

Oh, my God, I love this song.

Come on.

What's going on?
Is Lauren okay?

Your sister is fine.

It's you
we're concerned about.

What?

Were you drinking
with your girlfriends

before you went out?

No. No.

Heather, it's better
if you just tell the truth.

I am.

Do you want to
explain this to us?

Dad, I didn't drink that.

It wasn't
your father and I...

Well, it wasn't me either.

I'm not my sister, okay?

That cabinet was locked,
and now it's open.

So you don't believe me?

Heather, come on.

Have you heard
from Heather yet?

No, but I'll text her.

What about Caitlyn?

Does she need a ride?

She must have already left.

Okay.

There's my Uber.

Text me if you need anything.

Shoot, did Gemma just leave?

Yeah, but, uh, I can call her
to come back and get you.

No. No, it's fine,

and you shouldn't have to
clean all this up on your own.

Don't you have curfew?

Actually I don't.

That...

That's pretty cool.

I think my mom gets
that we're adults now.

I mean, we're 18.

I can do what I want.

Hmm.

Well, uh,

my parents will lose it
if they see this mess, so...

Why don't you
put those down for a second?

Seriously, just, like,
sit and relax.

Okay.

Caitlyn,
you don't have to--

Shh...

You deserve this.

We've both been working so hard.

I just made captain
of the cheerleading team,

you're the star athlete
leading us to victory.

I guess you could say,

we're kind of
the high-school dream.

Where were you?

I told you, I was out
with my girlfriends.

The electric bill came in.

I made a couple bucks tonight,
so I can kick in.

Don't bother.

Okay, what's going on with you?

Nothing.

I just, I finally figured out
that my mom was right.

You're deadweight, Darren.

You're not
going anywhere in life,

and honestly,

I don't want to be
dragged down with you.

Are you serious?

What, you think
you're some kind of catch?

You think you're a trophy?

Actually, I think I am.

Well, you're not,

and you can think
whatever you want,

I'm not leaving.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Well, my mom
co-signed the lease,

and she never agreed
to let you live here,

so I'm pretty sure
she wouldn't have a problem

getting the cops to remove you.

You know
you're a cold-ass bitch

just like she is.

Leave my keys.

I'll drop your stuff
outside the door.

Hey!

What happened to you
on Saturday?

Uh, nothing.
It was just stupid.

How did the rest
of the night go?

It was so much fun.

Listen, I wanted to thank you
for giving me a chance.

I mean, it's not always easy
being the new girl,

but you, and Maddy,
and everyone,

you've been amazing.

In fact, I'm having
the best senior year ever.

Oh, I'll see you in class.

Yeah.

Hey!

Hey.

Did you like my pic?

How could I not?

Good.

Oh, my God, you're back.

-Uh...
-Nice boot.

Thank you.

Kind of gives me a bit of
swagger, don't you think?

No.

Okay, anyways,
what did I miss?

Okay, so, uh, I'm pretty sure
Liam and Caitlyn hooked up.

Shut up.
Are you serious?

-Yes.
-When?

Uh, it was at Liam's party.

I don't know,
I didn't really talk to him.

Okay, so what, she's
filling in for team captain

and girlfriend now?

Okay, well, I'm not
Liam's girlfriend--

Hmm, okay.

--so she's not filling in
for anything.

Mm-hmm.

And I mean,
if it's not Caitlyn,

it was gonna be
somebody else, right?

I'm just kind of bummed
he didn't tell me.

He didn't 'cause
he feels like an ass.

Can you do me a favor
and not make this a thing?

What? Would I--
Would I make this a thing?

You would 110%
make this a thing, Maddy--

I wouldn't do that
to you, please--

Maddy... Maddy, don't
make this a thing.

Come on, now, you know me...

Okay, girls, let's take it
from the top.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four--

Make sure you guys
keep your heads up.

Alright, that's good for today.

Great job, girls.

You know it's not cool of you
to go out with Liam.

We all know he and Heather
have something going on.

Really?

If they do, then why did he
make a move on me?

I don't think Maddy's happy
I took her spot.

Maybe I should have
turned it down.

Why, did she say anything?

No, it's just...

Are you upset about Liam and I?

Because you said that he didn't
have a girlfriend, so...

Yeah, no, Liam and I
are just friends.

He can date whomever he wants.

Cool, 'cause I really like him,

and judging by how he was
with me the other night,

he really likes me, too.

Alright, I'll see you later.

Yeah.

Hey...

Hey.

Look, I, uh,

I just wanted to tell you

I'm sorry I didn't say
anything about Caitlyn.

I mean, it just
kind of happened,

and I wasn't even sure
what it meant.

Yeah, no, I-I get it.

I guess it's just kind of weird.

I mean, you hardly know her.

I've known her
for as long as you have,

and you guys are friends.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean
I know anything about her.

I don't know
who her friends were,

her boyfriends.

What are you getting at?

I saw a text that she got,
um, from some guy Darren,

called her "Babe",
said they should talk.

So he's probably
an ex-boyfriend,

right?

Well, that's my point,
though, Liam,

You don't know.

Look, just...
just promise me

you won't fall
too hard too fast?

I promise.

I should probably go,

Mom's probably
got dinner on the table.

I'll see you tomorrow.

For sure.

Hey...

Is everything all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, Mom.

I thought I at least taught you
some table manners.

I've got a new boyfriend.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

And what does he do?

-He's an athlete.
-Oh.

I mean, he does
other things as well,

and he's from
a really good family.

And what about night school?

I told you,
it's going great.

Why don't you believe me?

I'll believe it when I see it.

By the way,

I have to go away
for a few days,

so I'll need you
to stop by the house

and check on things
for insurance purposes.

The key will be in the lock box,

and remember,

this is not a hotel
for you and this...

new boyfriend.

Of course.

Can I get my phone back?

Hey...

Hey, do you think we could
go to your place?

I mean, your mom
seems pretty cool.

Yeah, she's cool about
some things,

and then weird about others.

Besides.

I've always wanted to do it
in the stands.

Did you bring something?

Yeah.

Victoria Patterson?

What is this?

That's just... my fake.

Yeah, I couldn't put
my real name on it.

Right.

Of course.

So at Armour Heights,

were you, like, dating anyone?

No, why?

Nothing.

I was just curious

if I have any ex-boyfriends
to worry about.

You definitely have
nothing to worry about.

Vicky? It's me!

Vicky, open up.

Seriously, Vicky?

I'm not a stalker, come on.

What do you want, Darren?

I'm bust.

That's not my problem.

Look, come on, babe.

I don't know what's going on
with you lately, I really don't,

but this is me.

Look, listen to me,

I know I haven't tried
that hard to get a job,

I know,

but I'm trying now.

and I...

I just need a little something
to tide me over.

Please.

Vicky!

Ooh, let me get in on it.

Ooh, yeah,
let me see, let me see.

So...

what's on the itinerary
this weekend, ladies?

Oh, same old, same old.

Lame.

Actually, I thought
we could hang at my place.

Really?

Yeah, my mom's
out of town, so...

All right, cool.

Party at Caitlyn's!

We should practice our lift.

Yeah.

See you in class.

Alright.

Alright, so let's
get you into a prep.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

-Okay. Okay, you got me?
-Here we go.

You got me?

Yes.

-Okay, on three.
-Okay.

One, two, three.

Caitlyn!

Uh, sorry.
I'll be right back.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?
Seriously?

What...

What, you're a teenager now?

Look, just...
just come over tonight,

and I'll help you out.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, you're gonna
help me out alright,

otherwise whatever
kind of weird fantasy

you're playing out here
is going to blow up.

Okay, okay.
Okay, just... just go.

Just go.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

Who was that?

Oh, just... my brother.

He can be
kind of a dick sometimes,

but don't worry.

He lives with my dad.

Let's go try that again.

Yeah.

Hey...

Hey.

Come in.

Okay.

So, uh...

I made us a nice steak
for dinner.

You think that's gonna
fix the fact

that you were sucking face
with some high-school kid?

Darren, I finally got
a second chance.

At what?

At making it.

This is where it all starts,

or, you know,

where it ended for me,

but now, I'm captain
of the cheerleading team,

and then one day, I'll be
president of my sorority,

and it's just gonna get better
and better from there.

, Vicky,

that's just your mom's crap
messing with your head.

We were good, babe.

I mean, we are good.

Now, you need to forget
all this high-school crap,

or I'm gonna go down there
and tell them

they let a 30-year-old
back into high school.

You're right.

It was stupid.

I mean, who am I kidding.

It's not going like
it's gonna change anything.

I am so sorry.

It's all good.

Medium rare?

Of course.

Sit down.

Okay.

Well, you know,
after, um, after dinner,

maybe you could put on
that cheerleading outfit,

and we can play high school.

Wow, you really
brought out the fancy.

My mother always said
I lacked ambition.

That was the old Vicky.

I'm Caitlyn now,

and Caitlyn makes Mommy proud.

Hey.

Hey. What's up?

Just reviewing some plays.

Cool.

Uh, so are
you and Caitlyn good?

Yeah, yeah, it's alright.

Did she ever mention
a brother to you?

No.

Why, does she have one?

Some guy just showed up
at school today.

He seemed older,

but she said
he was her brother.

Maybe he'll be there
this weekend.

I doubt it.

Apparently,
he lives with their dad.

I don't know,
it just seemed weird.

He was obviously
pissed about something,

and it just really
threw her off.

Family can do that.

I mean, I'm sure you could
understand that.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

You know,

the night of your party,

I never told you,

but my parents actually thought
that I took some of their booze.

Is that why you had to leave?

Yeah.

That's crazy.

Why haven't you told me
all this?

I was going to, um...

but, I don't know,
things changed, you know?

It's just disappointing,

I thought my parents
knew me better.

Well, I'm sure
they never thought

your sister would end up

in rehab.

Yeah, that's true...

I guess we all do things
sometimes

that aren't really
what anyone would expect.

Not even ourselves,

which is crazy

'cause that means
no one really knows anyone.

Did Caitlyn really invite
all of these people?

No,

but I told Craig

she'd love to get it out
on social media.

What?

If she wants to be popular,
then let her be, huh?

-Hi.
-Hey.

Are you okay with all this?

For sure.

Besides, it is your turn
to help me clean up tonight.

And don't worry.

I'm his wing man tonight.

He's sleeping at my place.

Oh...

Okay.

I'm going to go find
a bathroom.

Hey, baby.

Where is the toilet?

Somebody's out here.

Okay...

What are you doing in here?

Nothing.

Oh, sorry.

I was just looking for
another bathroom.

Caitlyn, where's the mixer!

Well, my mom's room
is off limits.

Yeah, no, of course.

Yeah. My bad.

Wouldn't it be awesome
if we got into the same college?

We could totally live
off campus together.

Why?

Are you're trying out
for a basketball scholarship

at Atlanta State, too?

No, but I could get
my degree there.

So what, you don't have
a school in mind for yourself?

Of course.

One with a sorority,

and one with you.

Oh, my God.

My mom's home.

You have to go.

What in God's name..?

Just, just go, go!

What the hell is all of this?

I, uh, just had
a couple of friends over,

and I was going to clean up,

but you got home early.

Unbelievable, Vicky.

This is how you plan
to make me proud of you?

By using my home
to host your loser friends

from that outlet store
or whatever?

My friends aren't losers.

I'm not a loser.

Really?

Then what are you, Vicky?

Because it seems to me

I can't even trust you
to look after my house.

I mean, you tell me
you're going to make me proud,

and this is how you do it?

You haven't changed.

You will never change.

You stupid girl!

Now, clean up this mess.

I have changed, Mom.

You want me to be ambitious?

You want me to be number one?

I am now.

I'm not the disappointment
you always thought I was.

You understand?

You bitch!

Do you understand?

I do.

Good.

Because I'm your daughter,

not that associate of yours.

Me,

and I always will be.

Hey.

Hey.

I just thought I'd check in,

see how senior year is going.

-It's fine.
-Is it?

Because you've seemed
a little out of sorts lately,

and I'm not talking about
the incident with the alcohol.

So does that mean
you believe that it wasn't me?

I want to,

but you know we've been
down this whole road

with your sister,

so... it's hard.

Yeah, no, I know.

Mom, when did
Carl's Fish and Chips close?

You know, the one
you and dad used to go to

for your anniversary?

Oh, wow, um...

I wanna say 10 years maybe?

Why?

I was just curious.

I love you, honey.

I love you, too.

'Night, Mom.

Good night, sweetheart.

Ladies.

In two nights,
we kick off the season

with our first pep rally,
followed by the first game.

So in keeping with
Glendale tradition,

each one of you will be paired
with one of our athletes

to motivate and support them.

You'll be expected
to boost their morale,

and, of course,
cheer them to victory.

So in this hat,

I have the name
of one of our star athletes,

and whomever you choose,

that's your man.

Ms. Travis, isn't that
a little old school?

I mean, we're not
1950s housewives.

Well, Caitlyn,

sometimes, tradition supersedes
political correctness.

Just take it
with a grain of salt

and have fun with it.

Come on. Come on.

Who'd you get?

Liam.

Who'd you get?

Craig.

You know,
maybe we should trade.

Maddy's already
pissed enough at me as it is,

and besides, Liam and I
are together.

You know, I think
I'll hang onto Liam.

It is just for fun, right?

Sure.

Whoa, whoa, wait a second,

are you my cheer buddy?

I am.
What do you think?

I thought you might like
some inspiration

from some of your
favorite athletes.

This is so awesome.

Thank you.

No worries.

Um...

Hey, so this is kind of weird,

but the other night
at Caitlyn's party,

I was looking for the bathroom,

and I found
this old photo of her,

and I guess her mom.

They were standing
at some restaurant

that my parents used to go to,

but the restaurant closed
10 years ago, Liam.

So?

Well, Caitlyn definitely
wasn't eight years old

in the photo.

So how old is she?

I don't know,
she looked maybe 15?

Older?
It was hard to tell.

That's crazy,

that would make her, like,
late 20s, early 30s?

Yeah,

and that's what has me
really freaked out.

So what, Caitlyn's older
than she says she is?

'Cause that's messed up, right?

Obviously. I don't know
if she's lying, or--

Hey.

Hey.

This is cute.

Thanks.

What?

Uh, nothing.

I gotta get home.

I'll see you guys later.

What was that all about?

Nothing.

Oh, Shaq.

He's so awesome.

I found the funniest "me-me"
of him the other day.

You say it like my parents.

What?

"Me-me"?

It's "meem."

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Look, about the whole
Liam thing?

I know you guys
are just friends,

so I'm sorry if I got
a little weird.

Yeah, no worries.

Hey, so Maddy's having
her birthday pretty soon.

We're going to get together
and do a thing.

You should come.

Cool, yeah, thanks.

When's your birthday?

June 6th.

Gemini.
Same as me.

What year?

Same as yours.

Why?

Just curious.

Uh, so I think
we're going to dinner

for Maddy's birthday.

Maybe fish and chips?

Too bad Carl's closed, hey?

Oh, that place was so good.

Mm-hmm.

I think I must have been,
like, eight

the last time I went there.

How about you?

Honestly, I don't remember.

Hmm.

Looks like
someone got flowers.

Yeah.

Who are they for?

Me.

I guess Liam thought
getting all the attention

was a little old school, too.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See ya.

Bitch!

I.D.?

I'm flattered
you don't think I'm of age.

Oh!

Victoria Patterson?

Yeah?

Detective Hertz.

I need to ask you
a few questions

about Darren Webb.

Why?

Is he okay?

Well, his friends
reported him missing,

and they said
you used to live together?

Yeah, but he moved out.

I, uh, I actually found out

that he had been
gambling a lot, so...

He had a gambling problem?

Yeah.

I'm a little worried

because he owed someone money.

I don't know who it was,

but he was really
stressed out about it.

Is he okay?

I'm sure he'll turn up.

Thank you for your time, ma'am.

You've been very helpful.

Of course.

Hey.

Hey!
Thanks for the flowers.

Well, you're working hard

to support the team, too,

so you deserve it.

Thanks,

uh, but I don't think
your girlfriend

was very happy about it.

My yummy mommy?

Oh, God...

Seriously, though, Liam,
what if she is older?

I mean, who would want
to redo high school?

Not me,

but she is pretty into
that whole teenage dream thing.

Thinks it's perfect

that I'm the star athlete
and she's the head cheerleader.

She's even talked about
our future together.

And what do you think
about that?

Honestly,

the whole thing's
starting to feel weird.

Caitlyn.

You're here early this morning.

Yeah, I was--
I was looking for you.

Actually
I wanted to talk to you

before the other girls got here.

It's about Heather.

I'm kind of worried about her.

I know that she had
a hard time last year,

and at first,
I just thought it was that,

but I've noticed that she's been
a little off during practice.

What do you mean "off"?

I could have sworn
I smelled alcohol on her breath

during practice.

I didn't think anything of it,

but then I found out
that her parents caught her

stealing from
their liquor cabinet.

Have you seen her drinking?

Here at school
or anywherelse?

No,

but I thought I saw something
in her locker.

Please don't tell her
I said anything.

She's been so good to me.

Thank you, Caitlyn,
I'll handle this from here.

Tonight at the pep rally,

Gemma and I are going
to cheer for you.

You'd better.

You're still
an official Cougar.

Hey...

Hey.

Heather.

I'm going to need
to open your locker.

Yeah, of course.

Why?

No, Ms. Travis,
that's not mine.

Let's discuss this
in the principal's office.

-Ms. Travis there's no way--
-That's 100% not hers.

Thank you, girls,

but this matter
doesn't concern you.

Let's go.

Ms. Travis, I didn't
put that in there.

Girls, you guys can do laps
for the rest of the period.

Let's go.

We want to believe you,
Heather.

We really do, but...

Look, honey, we understand

that this family has
been through a lot recently,

and you've certainly
had your share

with your injury,

and all the stress
of your last year.

I know you haven't been
that happy, honey.

None of that has anything
to do with this,

because I didn't bring
that bottle to school.

Then how did it get there?

I don't know.

The same way
that you don't know

how the alcohol
from this house disappeared?

Heather, this is serious.

Forget about being kicked off
the cheerleading team,

you've got a suspension
on your transcript.

Do you have any idea
how bad that looks?

Of course, I do,

which is why I would never do
anything like this,

and I know you guys
don't believe me,

but this isn't me.

None of it is.

Hey, aren't you
supposed to be at the game?

I just wanted to see
how you're holding up.

It wasn't mine, Liam.

You don't
have to convince me.

I know you.

I'm going
to miss you tonight.

I mean, I've never
played a game

without you cheering me on
from the stands

or the sidelines.

I'm sorry.

Well, it's not your fault.

Well, then
whose fault is it?

Because I've been trying
to figure out

who would do this to me,

and the only name
that I keep coming back to

is Caitlyn.

I mean, ever since
she showed up at school,

things have been wrong, Liam,

and she was there

the night my parents think
I took their alcohol.

So do you know she has
a fake I.D.?

What?

I saw it.

It looked like her,

but the name on it
was Vicky Patterson.

She said it was 'cause

she wouldn't put
her own name on it,

but maybe if she's older,

it wasn't fake.

Who is she, Liam?

I don't know.

What is it, Lynn?

I'm kind of busy.

I've good news.

If you want it, you can have
your old job back.

Thanks, but I'm onto
better things.

I'm glad to hear it.

By the way,

I think some of
the things you said

got through to Caitlyn,

about school.

What do you mean?

Well, she's decided
to go back,

in second term.

Are you sure?

Doug lost his job,

and he's been partying a lot,

so she moved out,

and decided
she would like to graduate.

From where?

Her old school?

No.

She said she'd like
a fresh start,

so tonight she's going to
enroll into Glendale

before she talks herself
out of it.

and so whatever you're doing,

if it doesn't work out,

give me a call.

Hey!

What do you want, Vicky?

I just want to apologize
for what I said.

It was completely
out of line.

It's just,
I had just lost my job,

and I found out

that Darren had been doing
nothing but gambling...

so I guess I was
in a pretty dark place,

and I'm sorry.

I guess I could relate to that.

Doug lost his job,

and has been doing
nothing about it but drinking.

That sucks.

Large.

Well, can I at least
give you a ride?

You can totally unload.

Sure.

I'd like that.

Liam, come here, son.

Liam, meet Brent Oxley.

He's a scout
for Atlanta State.

Nice to meet you.

They've been
keeping up with you.

Darren Webb,

a local from Glendale county,

was found bludgeoned to death.

A southbound Amtrak train

crashed into
a car on the tracks

in Springfield,
Massachusetts today.

Mom?

Yeah?

I need to go to the store.

No, you don't.

You were just grounded
for taking alcohol to school.

You know how serious
that is, right?

Yeah. Right. Thanks.

Heather?

Heather,
I think we should talk.

Mike?

Mike!

Can I help you?

Is Caitlyn home?

Nobody by that name lives here.

But you do have a daughter.

Who are you?

Just a friend.

Well, if you were her friend,

you'd know that Vicky
doesn't live here anymore.

I go to school with her
at Glendale High,

except she doesn't
call herself Vicky,

she goes by Caitlyn.

I don't know what kind of game
you're playing,

but I don't appreciate it.

Your daughter is the one

who's been playing games,
Mrs. Patterson.

All right, girls,
this is it.

Our first pep rally
for our boys and our team.

They're counting on us
to bring the energy,

to work up this crowd
before they hit the court,

to lead them to victory,

because, remember,

second is only the first loser,

and the Cougars don't lose.

We don't lose.

You got that?

I can't hear you!

Louder!

Whoo! Let's do this!

Whoo!

Whoa. Hi.

Hey.

Uh, I wanted to wish you
good luck at the game.

Thank you.

Am I gonna see you after?

I can think of
a great way to celebrate.

Yeah, um...

I... I think we should talk.

About what?

Look, I don't want to
get into it before the game.

Are you breaking up with me?

Look, I...

I gotta go,

but we'll talk more
later, okay?

Everything all right, Caitlyn?

Yeah. Yeah,
I'm just, you know,

getting pumped up for the rally.

That's a pretty big deal
for you, hey?

Becoming cheer captain,
scoring the star athlete.

All the things I'm guessing
you probably didn't do

the first time around, Vicky.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Who's Vicky?

Can you stop pretending?

Aren't you tired of lying?

I have a team to get to.

Was your life really that bad?

That you had to pretend
to be somebody else?

Because I spoke with
your mother,

and she told me
who you really are,

and you're not Caitlyn,

and you don't have a brother,

so who was he, Vicky,
and what did you do to him?

You spoke to my mother?

I did,

and she's not really
happy with you.

You need help, Vicky.

Because you're not Caitlyn.

You're a 30-year-old woman,

and this isn't real,

and it's going to end tonight.

All right, let's
get this pep rally started!

When you go out there,

I want you
to remember something,

whatever happens tonight

sets the tone
for the entire season,

and hey, you go out there
and kick their ass.

You kick their ass,

because winners aren't players
who never fail,

winners are players
who never quit.

-Okay, get in here.
-Let's go, boys.

Are we all in?

Are we all in?

Yes!

Team on three.

ne, tw!

Mrs. Vernon,
is everything okay?

No, it's Heather.
She's gone.

I'm worried.

This isn't like her,

and I don't know
what's going on.

Alight, alright,
I'll check if she's here,

and call you back.

Hey, man, if Coach asks,

just tell him
I'm in the can, all right?

Yeah.

Hey, hey...

Where's Heather?
Is she here?

I don't know.

Heather?

No... no.

Help!

Somebody, help me
I'm locked in!

Help! Somebody, help me!

Heather?

Help!

Heather?

Liam?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.
Where's Vicky?

Who?

Caitlyn!
Where's Caitlyn?

She's cheering with the team.

Did she do this?

Liam, I already called
the police.

You need to go and pretend that
everything's okay, alright?

Number 40, Craig Johnson!

Liam, you need to go,

or she'll know
something's wrong.

I'll be back, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Playing center,
Number 12, Liam Fleming!

Now to kick it off

is your Glendale Cougars!

Five, six, seven, eight!

We're the B.E.S.T. Best!

Vicky Patterson,
you need to come with us.

No, no, I'm... I'm Caitlyn.

No...

Wait, no, please.

Please, I can't drop out.

I can't drop out now.

Wait, please. Mom!

Mom, I did it.

I'm doing it!

Mom!

We are the Cougars

We got the power
to knock you off your feet!

So?

Atlanta wants me.

Yes, Liam!
That's amazing!
