[Music]

Wait.

You know we can't.

[Music]

What happened with your mom?

It's a long story.

We have all night.

When I was eight, my dad had an affair.

He cheated on my mom with a younger woman.

He used to bring her to the house a lot, but my mom wasn't there.

I would see them together, but I guess I didn't really know what they were doing.

Maybe I did, but I was just, I was scared to tell my mom, so I didn't.

And then one day, my mom came home early from work, caught them in the act, and then everything fell apart.

My mom wanted him to repent, and he wanted a divorce.

For some reason, my mom blamed me.

I guess she thought that if I had told her about it earlier, then things would have turned out different.

Where is he now?

Your dad?

He died that year.

They got in this huge fight.

He went for a drive.

He didn't make it back.

I wish I'd known sooner.

I wish I'd protected you from the start.

How can I tell you about your mom, Timothy?

You can never know.

[Music]

Morning, Ms. Swan.

[Music]

Is that Timothy Wolfe?

He's not in uniform.

Yo, did you see that video?

Is him and Ms. Swan dating?

[Music]

Check this out.

[Music]

Where were you last night?

Your mom called like ten times.

Can I borrow your spare uniform?

Sure, but did you sneak out with the shorts?

What?

Class is starting.

Alright, let's talk about chapter seventeen.

[Knock on door]

Come in.

What's your lunch?

Just mine.

What about you?

[Music]

This is my lunch.

Timothy.

I swear, he slept at hers last night.

Charlotte Swan is a ho.

And I really just can't take it anymore.

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Hi, Principal Wolfe.

I have some information for you on Charlotte Swan.

Did you happen to study under a Robert Lowell?

A late literature professor at Yale?

Yes, why?

Well, it appears that Swan is Charlotte's mother's maiden name.

She changed it a few years ago.

Her birth name was Charlotte Lowell.

She's the daughter of Robert Lowell.

Other than that, everything about Ms. Swan seems normal.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Hello?

[Music]

Go.

Ouch!

[Music]

Get in!

Everyone will see you.

My mom is going to be here any second.

Get in!

[Music]

So you don't want me to come home?

Never again.

You're going home.

That's the student.

What a surprise.

What do you want?

Ooh.

And a great student.

Oh.

Charlotte, dear, you have outdone your father.

Leave him alone, Mom.

Well, I will.

As soon as I get my money, I'm going to leave this shitty town.

What money?

What money?

$150,000.

That's enough to cover all my debts in Fresenium.

She's lying.

It's not that much.

Oh, no, I'm not.

Not with this.

You give me the $150,000, and I'll disappear from your life for good.

Or the entire school sees you kissing in uniform.

You're leaving.

You're going home, Timothy.

I wrote down my bank information.

I even checked out.

Do what you want, Mom.

I'm done.

I'm not scared of you anymore.

And I'm changing my lock.

I guess she's losing her job.

Just like her father.

Just like her father.

Just like her father.

Yeah, is this Mercedes?

Yeah, my name's Timothy Wolf.

I got the G63 for my birthday.

Yeah, as your sales managers are around, I like to sell my car.

Morning, Miss Swan.

Where's your car?

It's in the shop.

Routine repairs.

You should have just gone to school with your mom.

Come on.

We're going to miss the bus.

Wait.

Both of you.

Don't worry, Charlotte.

I'm not here to get you in trouble.

I'm actually-- I'd like to invite you over for dinner this evening.

Yeah, right.

As if Miss Swan would want to come.

I'd love that.

I'll be there.

What?

Great.

I look forward to getting to know you better.

Charlotte.

Why did you say yes?

Wait, Charlotte.

You don't need to do this for me.

I don't care what she thinks or what she says.

I don't want you to care either.

Oh.

I am not doing this for you, Timothy.

I'm doing this for me.

What do you mean?

It's not important.

It's just a dinner.

It'll be fine.

Okay, but she's actually crazy.

I'm a teacher, Timothy.

Handling difficult parents is part of the job description.

Sorry, Timothy.

Let me use you this one time.

Just this once.

Can you pass the salt?

Charlotte.

You got a full master's scholarship to Yale.

That is impressive.

Thank you.

It's a great institution.

I know that was your alma mater.

Principal Wolf.

It is.

What a coincidence.

I wonder if we had any of the same professors.

I mean, I'm sure we did.

In fact, my father was a professor at Yale.

Literature.

You studied literature, right?

I didn't know your dad was a professor before you --

I didn't know your dad was a professor before you --

You told Timothy about your father.

Oh, well, not that he was a professor.

That he cheated and wanted to abandon his family for a younger woman.

Mm-hmm.

She actually knew that he had a family and a younger daughter,

but I guess she didn't care.

I see.

I mean --

I hear she was married herself, actually.

Still is.

I wonder, if my father hadn't died, would she be with him instead?

What a bitch.

Timothy, honey, can you go get us another bottle of cab, please?

You barely touched this one.

This one is soured.

I'm literally underage.

Please go.

So when did you find out?

Wait.

Amber, Charlotte's home.

And Helen's going to be back any time.

It's all part of the thrill.

Shh.

You knew.

You always knew.

Why did you apply to St. James?

What do you want with Timothy?

I don't know, Amber.

What do you think I want with him?

It's unbelievable.

You're just like your father,

pretending to be a good teacher

and going around seducing students and brainwashing them.

You seduced him.

Just like Timothy seduced me.

Oh, I see.

Forgive my mistake.

You are nothing like your father.

You're like your pathetic, delusional mother.

Tell me, how is she?

Did she finally lose her mind?

You know, I would choose your next words

very carefully if I were you.

I'm not the one with a son to lose here.

What are you talking about?

It doesn't matter if I seduced him or he seduced me.

The fact is, he's in love with me.

Truly.

Madly.

Deeply.

He would do anything that I tell him to do.

I jump, he jumps.

I will tell him.

I will tell him that you were using him this entire time.

Sure, tell him.

Tell him about how you cheated on his dad

and ruined my family.

You bitch!

Hmm.

Maybe I'll be one.

Maybe I will take Timothy from you just for the sake of it.

Maybe I will take Timothy from you

just like you took my father from me.

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Wait, Charlotte.

Timothy!

Timothy, get back here!

Wait, Charlotte.

What did my mom say to you?

Hey, whatever it is, you can tell me, okay?

Don't push me away.

You are just like your father.

Pretending to be a good teacher,

going around seducing and brainwashing students.

You are just like your delusional,

pathetic mother.

You want me, don't you?

Of course I do.

I want you.

Now.

What? Charlotte.

Take me home.

Now.

Take me to bed.

[Music]

Wait.

Wait, Charlotte. What's wrong?

[Music]

Oh, okay.

That's fast.

Charlotte.

My Charlotte, what's wrong?

Just get out.

Get out!

I don't want to see you.

Why?

What did I do wrong?

I'm sorry, whatever it is, I can fix it.

You can't fix anything, Timothy.

You're just a kid.

You don't know anything.

Maybe you're right.

I really am just a kid.

It doesn't matter.

I'm just a kid.

I'm just a kid.

I'm just a kid.

I really am just a kid who doesn't know shit.

That's why I didn't know how to quit when I should have.

[Music]

Timothy?

I am so sorry.

I have to tell you something.

I am so sorry, son.

She knew St. James was my school,

and she applied just to get close to you.

Okay?

She thought she could use you against me,

brainwash you, to choose her over me.

And that is not going to happen.

We will not let that happen.

I don't believe you.

Timothy, she told me herself.

I don't believe you.

She didn't know.

She didn't know I was your son.

She did, but it didn't matter to her.

I don't believe you.

She wouldn't do this to me.

Son, you are lying to yourself.

Timothy!

Timothy!

Charlotte Swan.

Charlotte Swan, open the door.

I know you're in there.

Come out and talk to me.

[Music]

Don't do this to me, please.

[Music]

Please, Charlotte, I can't take this.

This is what's best for you, Timothy.

Even if it means you'll hate me.

Tell me it isn't true.

Everything my mom said.

You're getting close to me on purpose.

Everything we went through together.

It was all fake?

No, it wasn't.

Of course it wasn't.

Come out and tell me it's not true.

If you come out now, I'll believe you.

I'll believe anything you say.

I'm sorry, Timothy.

[Music]

Charlotte Swan is hereby terminated for inappropriate behavior.

[Laughter]

In fact, that dress she was wearing.

What's she gonna do in the school?

So, Charlotte Swan's gone.

Stop.

I'm just saying, I can't believe she tried to sleep with you.

I wanted to puke when Principal Wolfe sent out that news announcement.

Are you kidding?

Yeah.

It was unreal.

What on earth?

It was obvious from the start.

She was into Timothy.

She should be going to jail.

Firing her doesn't seem like enough.

He gets it.

I'm just saying.

Good morning, class.

I know you're probably wondering who I am.

I am Bob Calloway, your new AP literature teacher.

And I help to put the lit in literature.

[Laughter]

Hey, where are you going?

Timmy!

Charlotte Swan.

Charlotte?

Goodbye.

Timothy.

You didn't change your lock.

I don't have your money.

And I probably never will.

I was fired.

I don't have anything to threaten you with anymore.

Tell everyone you know.

Send pictures to them.

Tell them all about Dad.

I don't care.

I have nothing.

[Laughter]

What's your problem?

What's so funny?

You really don't know, do you?

You actually have no idea.

What don't I know?

I came to say goodbye, Charlotte.

I'm moving.

I'm starting new.

What about the debt?

He really didn't tell you.

Did he?

Your little boyfriend, Timothy.

He sold his car and wired me 165K.

Who knew such an ugly car would be worth so much?

He really did love you.

Do you know that?

God, you really fucked that up, didn't you?

Yeah.

I found out his name from the wire transfer with money.

Timothy Waltz.

Amber Wolf's son, isn't he?

Who knew?

I always thought of you as this big, ugly scar that reminded me of your father.

But as it turns out, you've done the one thing that I couldn't do.

You avenged me.

You ruined Timothy Waltz.

I really am very proud of you.

Have a good life.

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Why didn't you go home? Why didn't you call me?

It's almost midnight.

My best friends.

Did you bring my mom?

What?

What do you mean?

My mom sent you.

She's a fucking coward.

Just like Charlotte Swan.

Well, you don't have to worry about Charlotte Swan anymore.

She's long gone.

You're fucking right she's gone.

She left me.

With my fucking fake friends.

And my cheating ass mother.

We've been friends, have you ever seen?

Since we found out that my mom was the fucking principal.

I loved her.

She was the only person I've ever loved.

The only one who loved me.

Through me.

That's not true.

I also--

Also.

What?

I tell me your decade long crush has nothing to do with all the shit I did for you.

All the shit that my mom did for you.

She's moving, you know?

Miss Swan, I mean.

I heard she's leaving town tonight.

I just--

I'm sorry, okay?

For what it's worth.

I love you, dude.

For everything.

But also for who you are, so.

Go get your girl, man.

I know you think I'm just a kid.

I know nothing about love.

But I know this.

I became ready to take on the world with you.

I know you think I'm just a kid.

I know nothing about love.

But I know this.

I became ready to take on the world with you.

Morning, Miss Swan.

Timothy, you put me down!

Charlotte Swan, I'd do anything for you.

Is that not true?

Charlotte Swan, I'd do anything for you.

Is that not love?

Charlotte Swan, don't fucking go!

Stop, stop!

Wait!

I think that boy is calling you.

LAX, drive now.

Don't leave me, Charlotte.

I do not care who your mother is.

Timothy, was it?

I don't like to see you cry.

You're welcome.

Morning, Miss Swan.

You loved me.

Didn't you?

I did.

I do.

I do.

I'm so sorry, Daddy.

It doesn't matter.

I don't care.

I don't care who you are.

I don't care.

I just want you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I love you, Charlotte Swan.

I love you, Timothy.

Looks better on you.

Hmm?

The uniform.

You look 18.

You know I can't stay here, right?

Sure.

We'll find you a nicer apartment.

You know that's not what I mean.

No, you can stay.

I'll talk to my mom.

You're not going to do that.

I already found a new job.

Instructor at a private university on the East Coast.

Pays less, but with my mom gone, I'll be fine.

Don't leave me again.

You can't leave me again.

I have to.

It's the only way for me to start over.

It's the only way for this to work.

I'll come find you.

I'll graduate with straight A's.

I'll apply to the East Coast.

We'll do long distance till then.

It's not a big deal.

You have a whole future ahead of you, Timothy.

You'll grow up and forget me.

[music]

You're going to be fine.

Keep in touch, okay?

Don't forget to eat.

Lock your door.

Please don't forget about me.

I'll call every day.

I'll come visit every break.

I know.

I know you won't forget.

And even if you do, it'll be okay.

Promise you won't forgive me.

I promise.

That will be all for today.

We'll have our midterm exam on Monday.

Thank you.

[music]

[baby crying]

[music]

Excuse me.

Is there a smoking area on campus?

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid this entire campus is smoke-free.

Well, that's too bad.

It's a good thing I quit smoking three years ago

when I met this super hot teacher.

[music]

You're working too hard.

Let me help.

You want to grade upper division papers as a sophomore?

Yeah, it's just Shakespeare, right?

I can do Shakespeare.

I am the genius who got into Princeton,

so I think I'll manage.

Wait a minute.

You have a Shakespeare paper due next week, don't you?

Hey!

Graduation is illegal!

Get back here!

Give them to me!

Bad dog.

[music]

What's this?

Feeling nostalgic?

Timothy--

I know.

I'm young.

Practically a kid.

I have my whole future ahead of me.

I know all that.

But you're a part of that future now.

You're the one who created it for me, Miss Swan.

Don't call me that.

Charlotte Swan,

the love of my life.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes.
