Oh! Nick, don't scare me like that!
I was just trying to surprise you.
Well, you did.
I'm full of surprises, and there's more to come.
Follow me.
Look how crowded your restaurant is.
And the food is even better.
Well, I try.
What's with the champagne and everything?
I mean, I'm not complaining.
It's amazing, but --
I'm sorry, I'd didn't mean to cut you off like that.
But if I don't get this out now, it's never coming out.
-I've finally got this -- -You okay?
We'll find out.
I finally got this place up and running, and, um...
I couldn't have done it without you.
You know I've always believed in you.
And...
I want to continue this journey with you
for the rest of our lives.
Oh, my God.
Nick...
Bri.
I want to be there for you in the same way
you've always been here for me.
Will you marry me?
-Yes. -That's a yes?
-Yes. -Okay.
-Right? -Aww.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
Congrats.
Happy night.
-Yeah. You want to go? -Yeah, uh, but first,
uh, I got to grab my keys from the office.
-Okay. -I'll be right back.
-Let me see the ring. -Oh!
Isn't it per--
Looking for these?
Are you insane?
-Debatable. -Chris, give me the keys.
I don't got time for this. I got to go back to Bri.
You mean my replacement.
Stop. I was hurting.
Bri and I were on a break, but I told you
that if there was even a remote chance
that she and I could make things work
that I was going to take it.
Chris, you've got to let go.
I'm trying, but it's kind of hard
when you two are getting engaged right in front of me.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I know.
-Everything okay in here? -Of course.
Congratulations, Brianna.
Oh, thanks.
Sorry about that.
Uh, I don't want to keep you waiting another minute.
-Well, you'd better now. -Well, let's get out of here.
How did I get to be so lucky?
Speaking of getting lucky...
Whoa!
-I totally planned that. -I'm sure you did.
You want me to take that rug outside and teach it a lesson?
Oh, yeah. Show it who's boss, huh?
That's right. But that's gonna have to wait,
because all I can think about right now
is this beautiful woman in front of me.
Mm.
I walked up to her -- my sister --
and I crawled right into her arms.
And I asked...
"When are Mommy and Daddy gonna be home?"
And she said...
"They're gone."
Yeah, I don't know.
"They're gone."
And I never got a chance to say good-bye.
-I'd like to think... -No way.
...that they'd be proud of me.
Well, that's it for today.
And don't forget, next class,
Shakespeare raised the bar with his unique writing technique.
How was it received in his time,
and how has it influenced modern writing?
At least five pages.
Cooper, can I talk to you for a second?
Gonna go get some extra credit?
Are we still in high school, Peter?
Yes, Professor Scott?
That essay was so raw.
It was outstanding.
Really, your vulnerability just brought me
right there into each moment with you.
Yeah, it was, uh -- it was hard to go there.
I can understand that.
I lost my parents, too.
Really?
Yeah, they died when I was in high school.
You standing up and telling your story, that was really brave.
Best authors, they use their own experiences
to convey their stories.
I think you're one of the gifted ones,
and I really hope you consider it as your major.
-Okay. -Okay.
I will.
Bye, Cooper.
-Hey, you. -Hey!
I see you survived another day amongst the zoo animals.
Oh, barely.
Actually, i-it was --
it was a great day.
I'm seeing some real potential.
It's rewarding, isn't it?
Show me that ring.
It's perfect, isn't it?
I got to say, he did good.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, there's this girl, Steph,
who's, uh, pretty cool, and she's cute.
I just don't know if she feels the same way about me.
Oh, I'm sure she does, lady-killer.
Whatever.
Oh, my English Lit professor -- I think I'm in love.
In love, eh?
Yeah, she's like -- she's the coolest professor by far.
We had to do essays in front of the class,
and so I did mine about mom and dad dying, and she loved it.
She thought it was amazing.
She told me how great I was, and she said
I should really consider writing as a major.
I mean, it's so rare to just find people like that nowadays,
especially my teacher.
Yeah, she sounds pretty awesome.
So, how's Nick?
I am so over him.
He's getting back with his ex, isn't he?
Yeah, you could say that.
You know, I just th-- I guess I thought that things
were really over between the two of them
and what a chance. -Mm.
Although, that doesn't mean
that I can't try a little something, though.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
But I'm not ready to throw the towel in yet.
-You know what? Here.
I'm-a throw the towel on you.
-Stop it! -How about that?
Time to go.
Thanks. You know, you didn't have to. I --
There's always a bully no matter how old you get, it seems.
Well, it's good that my professor isn't one of them.
Hey, actually, I wrote this.
I would really, really like your feedback.
Um, and I do really like writing, actually.
I think -- I think I'm gonna reconsider my major.
I'm so pleased.
Yeah, I-I'll definitely give it a read.
And, um, how are you adjusting to college life?
Everything you thought it would be?
Yeah, I mean, it's a lot different than high school.
-Mm-hmm. -With the exception of Pete.
But I like it.
I'm making these new friends,
and I'm kind of into this girl, and I'm definitely enjoying
the new freedoms that college has to offer.
I bet. And are you staying in the dorms?
That's a great way to meet new people.
No, I'm out with my sister. But we're right next to campus.
Oh.
All right, well, I will read this
and get you notes as soon as possible.
All right, thank you.
Have a great rest of your day.
Yeah. You, too.
Hey, I just want to give you my number in case
you want to hang sometime.
Okay.
Yeah, well -- Oka-- Okay.
Hey.
No, st-- Don't, don't, don't.
Cooper, what were you thinking?
I'm sorry.
Do you have any idea what it did to me
to get that phone call that you were in a car accident?
You were only five when we lost them.
And -- And things were easier for you because I --
because I took care of everything.
I lost them.
The thought of losing you, too...
I may not remember it the same way as you did,
but I lost them, too.
I shouldn't have been texting and driving.
No, you shouldn't have been texting and driving.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I just got a little excited.
It's not every day a girl just hands out her number.
Oh, yeah, except for maybe you.
What are you doing? Why are you --
Why are you taking things out on me?
How's the engaged life treating you?
-Amazing. -Yeah?
Yeah, we're making plans for after the wedding.
We're both gonna sell our condos and get a house together.
Ooh, wow.
It's everything I've ever dreamed of.
That break you two took really made all the difference, huh?
You know, we had to.
We'd pretty much been together since we were kids,
and we needed to, you know, see life without each other
and figure out if it's what we really wanted.
-Good afternoon. -Dean Marsh.
Um, I'm glad I found you both.
I've got some unfortunate news about one of our students,
and he's in both of your classes.
Cooper Thompson.
He had a car accident yesterday afternoon.
What?
He was in the ICU, but he's been recuperating well,
so they've moved him up to a regular floor now.
-Oh, my God, that's terrible. -Well, he's gonna miss
a couple of days, so I thought you should both know.
Thank you, Dean Marsh.
If there's anything we can do to help, let us know.
Hi, I'm looking for Cooper Thompson's room.
-He's in room 2. -Thank you.
Hi.
Brought you some cookies.
Thank you.
Are you in a lot of pain?
A brain injury's a pretty big deal.
Yeah, no, i-i-it hurts.
I bet your sister's a mess.
I really screwed up this time.
I cannot believe I did that to her.
Hey, accidents happen.
People make mistakes.
I-It's what you learn from them
and how you move past them that really matters.
Yeah. So, how was your day?
So-so. But probably better than yours.
Did you make these?
As a matter of fact, I did.
New recipe. Let me know what you think.
All right.
-Mm.
I haven't had homemade cookies since I was little --
seriously.
These are amazing. You didn't have to.
Oh, sure I did.
I'm still trying to lure you into the literature world.
-Cookies are a nice touch. -Yeah, I thought so.
Seeing you doesn't hurt either.
I mean, you look incredible.
Let's just, um,
concentrate on you healing up, okay?
And -- And don't get overwhelmed.
We're all gonna work with you to get caught up.
You know, I-I-I don't normally give out my number to students,
but under these circumstances...
here.
Just in case you need help with the missed assignments.
Thank you.
Seriously, it means a lot.
Of course.
Feel better, okay?
Get some sleep.
-Hey. -Hey.
Sorry about what happened.
Are you okay?
How is he?
He's doing a lot better.
I was so scared.
You know, he's really the only thing that matters to me, Nick.
I'm sorry.
You said he's doing better, right?
He's gonna be just fine, I promise.
Hey, babe.
There you are.
I-I was beginning to think I'd been stood up.
Never. Sorry, I got caught up here.
Well, hurry up.
I think you're gonna be impressed
with this dinner I made.
Uh, I know I will.
But, um, listen, I promise I'll be out of here in a minute.
Just, uh, do me a favor and keep it warm for me, okay?
Nick, come on.
You know, this date night was your idea.
I know. I'm sorry.
It's just, I can't leave yet.
Uh, you know, things got crazy around here.
My employees need me.
Yeah, okay.
But I'll be home soon, okay? I love you.
You, too.
Mm.
You remember how good we were?
Chris...
we've talked about this.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I'm here if you need me.
But --
Your employees need you?
Well, it looks like you're going the extra mile.
No, Bri, please wait. It's not what it looks like --
No? Because to me, it looks like my fiancé kissing another woman.
I can't believe you.
You need to take some space to rethink your priorities.
-I don't want any space! -Good night.
I don't want -- Bri! Bri, wait!
Bri, let me talk! Bri!
I competed, uh, with some other for years and years.
-So legit? -Oh, all legit. Legit, yeah.
All of those during a split second.
Yeah.
Bri. You okay?
What's going on?
It's Nick.
I -- I caught him with another woman
when we were supposed to be having a date.
You're kidding me.
I made him a nice dinner and everything.
He told me he was running late
because his employees needed him.
When he never showed up, I-I drove to the restaurant,
and he was lip-locked with another woman --
with the bartender.
It was clear they'd been drinking.
He's obviously not putting our relationship first -- or --
or even being completely faithful to me.
No. You're right.
I don't know if I can tell you what to do,
but either way, I'm here for you.
Okay?
-Yeah. -Come on.
-Cooper! -Hold on, give me a second.
Call in an air strike!
-Cooper? -Copy that.
Hang on a second.
Low on ammo.
Sorry, I just had to kill that guy.
What does your sister do for work?
She works at this stupid restaurant.
Mm.
Yo, Coop!
Listen, I was thinking that, you know,
maybe we could work out our differences.
I mean, listen, I'm -- I'm sorry, man --
for all that other stuff in there.
I really am.
Yeah, well, thanks, man. Yeah, I think we can, too.
Hey, let's go.
Oh, good. Good, good, good.
Hey, Jeremy.
Did you just hear Coop right now?
He said he thinks we could work on our differences.
Huh. What do you think?
Gee, Pete, I don't think so.
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
'Cause, I mean, Coop's probably not gonna be too happy
about my little, uh, you know rendezvous
with Professor Scott last night.
What'd you say?
Damn, man.
She looks even better with her clothes on the floor.
If you catch my drift.
-Ohh! -Ooh!
Oh, my God.
-Do it, bro! -Yeah!
No! Stop! Stop!
I didn't start it.
I don't want to hear excuses.
-It's not my fault. -Cooper!
What is going on with you? You are not a fighter.
What is this?
Says the girl who said she'd never be a cheater.
What are you talking about?
I know that Nick is with someone.
I told you that we ended it.
Well, you lied, and you're an idiot.
You watch your mouth. Don't tell me what to do --
especially when you're such a screw-up in your own life.
I will tell you what to do, and you will listen to me.
No, you won't. You know why?
Because you're not my mother or my father,
and you never, ever will be!
I can't even just stand being around you anymore.
Then move out.
Oh, that's right -- you don't have any money.
So, why don't you try having a little respect?
I hate you.
Professor Scott?
Nick?
Melissa's Nick?
What are you doing here?
Babe, I-I'm begging you to hear me out -- please.
Christina's a friend -- just a friend.
Who you kiss on the mouth?
No. No, listen to me.
She had some terrible things happen to her,
and she basically had a meltdown.
I couldn't just leave her like that,
so I stayed behind to try to cheer her up.
And as I was hugging her good-bye,
she leaned in and she kissed me.
And before I had a chance to walk away,
you walked in and saw it, and I'm sorry.
Why would she think that was okay?
I don't know, but I promise, it will never happen again.
I'll fire her, if you want.
No.
No, th-- that's not necessary.
You need to be very clear with her about your boundaries.
No, of course. Of course.
Thank you, thank you. You --
I -- You're an incredible woman,
and I don't ever want to lose you again.
I was looking at old photos of us.
We have so many amazing memories,
and we're better than this.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't give you the benefit of the doubt.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
Come here -- look at this one.
We were so young.
I don't know what I would do without you.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I'm a mess. I'm a mess. I am so --
-You're all sweaty. -I'm sweating bullets.
But how about this -- to start things off on the right note,
I go clean up, I come back, and, uh, maybe
I can take you out on a date.
-You may.
I look forward to it.
Well, if that's the case,
I'm-a go hurry up, and I'll be right back down.
Okay.
Bri? Babe, are you okay?
You're a liar.
I can't believe I fell for all that.
You want to tell me what's really going on
between you and CT?
There's nothing to talk about.
I told you -- we've been through this.
Your girlfriend sent you a message.
Wanted to thank you for today and send her love.
I'm -- I'm sorry.
How long has this been going on?!
Answer me!
I should have told you as soon as we got back together.
When we were on a break, Christine and I...
It was just a fling.
I was sad that we were through, and she was there for me.
I -- I'm sorry.
She said she loves you. Are you in love with this woman?
No! No, I swear, I'm not.
As soon as you wanted to get back together,
I ended it immediately.
I told her I just wanted to be friends.
And why didn't you tell me about her when I asked you
if you had been with anybody else during the break?
I was scared! I was scared!
I lost you once. I didn't want to lose you again.
Yeah, well, I can't be with somebody who omits
the truth when they're scared.
You didn't trust me enough to talk to me,
and so I can't trust you enough to tell me the truth
when things get hard.
I thought we were stronger than this.
-We are. -No, we're not.
Here. That's it.
-You don't mean that. -We're done.
Bri, please.
Bri, don't do this.
Bri, not like this!
Really?
I go to all that trouble to give you detailed notes,
and you're just gonna throw it away?
I heard about the fight.
You know, I-I feel like maybe I'm partially responsible.
I called him out in front of you, got him angry.
I don't know.
Did you hook up with Pete?
What?
That's what he said. That's what he said.
That's why I did what I did -- 'cause I had to protect you.
No.
No, absolutely not.
I-I don't get involved with students.
That -- That's unethical.
I'm just glad you weren't arrested.
Yeah, well, Stephanie wouldn't turn me in.
I'm worried about you.
Not just because of the fight.
I mean, y-your grades are declining.
That's not like you.
Come on -- you have so much talent.
I hate to see you struggling like this.
-I'm sorry. -Don't be sorry.
Just let me help you.
Well, how could you help me?
-You could come by my office... -Uh-huh.
...after one o-- one of your last classes.
And, you know, I could just help you sort things out --
get back on track.
Okay.
Okay. Okay, want to start tomorrow?
Yeah.
Okay. Perfect.
You know where to find me?
I do.
It's a deal?
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
-What are you talking about? -The text you sent!
What text?
The text saying that you enjoyed our time together
and that you love me, and Brianna saw it!
I didn't send any texts like that.
I don't know what's going on in that head of yours,
but I'm warning you -- back off!
What I loved about your work from before
is that I felt like you really connected with the material.
You give a very strong point of view.
But on this, it felt like you just gave a synopsis
of the book.
You just pulled quotes.
For example, "I have to remind myself to breathe.
Almost remind my heart to beat."
What feelings does this bring up for you?
I need more subjectivity, and I know you can do better
because I've seen it.
I don't know what I feel right now.
Then write about that. Numbness.
What lies beneath it.
You seem so perfect.
I'm perfect at being perfectly flawed.
No one's life is exactly as it seems.
Well, would you like to talk about it?
I mean, what lies beneath those beautiful, sad eyes of yours?
Um, let's stay on task.
-Okay. -Okay.
Let's break it down into small sections,
starting with your intro.
All right, we definitely made some progress today.
A few more paragraphs to work on next time, but nice focus.
Are you happy?
Of course.
Well, I notice you're not wearing
your engagement ring anymore.
I'll see you tomorrow, Cooper.
You don't have to be alone.
Chattin' it up with a girl?
Oh, no, it's just stuff for school.
Um...
So, I need you to be honest with me.
Yeah, what's going on?
Would you mind going back to see the doctor?
Why? My head's totally fine.
I know.
You've been acting out a lot.
I-It's -- It's just not you.
Maybe I'm just not the "you" that you want around,
but I'm fine.
Okay.
I'll leave it.
For now.
I think I'm -- I'm gonna stay out again tonight.
Okay.
Well, tell Nick I said hello.
Sure.
Are you serious?
Chris, what are you doing here?
Please, just let me come in.
Just getting ready for a hot date.
I'm kidding -- I'm just about to delve into my book.
What are you up to?
Everything was great
until he started being deceitful.
I know what you mean.
I was so angry.
I ended things immediately, but it still really hurts.
Can I confess something?
I'm having more fun talking with you through a phone screen
than I have with anyone in years,
and I get to be in the bath while I do it.
Not a chance.
You're a funny man, William.
Please do.
It's been a while for me, too.
And even then, there was a disconnect.
Like his -- his mind was somewhere else.
Maybe we can meet up when you get back.
"He stepped down,
trying not to look at her, as if she were the sun,
and yet, he saw her as the sun."
Leo Tolstoy.
Hey!
You okay?
Mm-hmm.
I'm just fine.
-What's up? -I don't know what's up.
Maybe it's just you
getting way too self-involved.
You working late every night, not coming home.
I know it's not just work.
You leave for an entire weekend,
and you don't even care what happens to me.
It was one night.
And I didn't stay with Nick. He --
He wouldn't let me.
So I spent the night with a girlfriend.
Anyway, what is this? Why are you picking on me?
Because I can't stand living with you.
Okay.
I mean, then, you can just leave.
You can just leave.
Leave!
-Hey! -Get away!
-Cooper! -Get away!
-I don't need you!
I don't need you! Just -- Just go!
Go! Go!
Do you hear me?!
God, I don't need you anymore!
What happened?
Just look at me. You need to talk to me.
Who did this to you?
Please, look at me.
Who did this to you?
Cooper.
What?
I don't know -- He just --
I walked in, and he got angry, and he attacked me.
All right, calm down.
First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna call the cops, okay?
-We're gonna -- -No, no, no, no, no, no.
He's my brother.
Fine, but you need to stay away from him.
He said that I abandoned him.
Maybe I did.
Maybe this is why this is happening.
No. No, look at me.
This isn't your fault.
You need to go tell him to move out,
find a job, and get his own place.
You're the one paying the mortgage.
It's his place, too.
It doesn't matter who's paying the mortgage.
It was our parents'. They gave it to us.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
It's gonna be okay.
-You good? -Mm-hmm.
Seems like you've been catching up
pretty quickly with the makeup work.
Bet your sister's been a big help.
-Mm, not really. -No?
No, she works nights, and she usually stays late
to get extra attention from her boss --
if you know what I mean.
Well, I have something that might put you in good spirits.
Very well-deserved.
No way.
Come on. I got that?
Yeah, really. Go, go celebrate or something.
Well, you know, actually, I was hoping
maybe you could give me a ride home,
because my sister left town, and my ride bailed.
Oh, um...
Yeah. Yeah, I suppose I could do that.
Sweet.
-You okay? -Uh, actually, I was wondering
if you would like to come in with me.
That seems a little inappropriate.
Uh, well, would you just walk me to the door?
See, ever since that accident, I've just been extremely dizzy.
Oh, um...
yeah, that's fine.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Okay, why don't you sit down?
You're not looking so good.
Uh, w-what time does your sister get home?
She's not coming home. She left me.
She's with her boyfriend all weekend.
Who would do something like that?
I'm -- I'm sorry. Y-You know what?
I-I shouldn't say anything, but I just can't imagine
leaving my brother alone when he's going through so much.
You could stay a little longer.
I mean, I-I can sit with you
just until you're feeling a little bit better.
Would you like anything to drink?
I've got great wine.
You're not old enough to drink.
I meant for you.
Y-You shouldn't be walking around right now.
Oh, relax.
I'm much stronger than I look.
Fine. A glass of water sounds lovely.
Just take it easy, okay?
Okay.
Let me know if you need help.
I will.
Thanks.
Better?
Mm-hmm.
Good.
Much better.
Maybe you can, um, join, like, a creative writing group.
They have those?
Yeah, we've got one at the university.
Do you run it?
I don't, no, but I can put in a word --
If you ran it, maybe that would be --
-I could put in a word for you. -That would convince me.
Nice for you to get out and meet friends that way, you know?
I got my video games.
Mm. Those can be really violent, can't they?
You think it's gonna turn me into a killer?
-Come on. -Eh, no, I just, um --
I'm the last thing anyone would be scared of.
That's good. I'm getting a little sleepy.
You are?
Yeah, I might have to leave soon.
I-I just wanted to make sure you're okay.
You know, you're the only one who's been there for me lately,
and I-I really appreciate it.
It means a lot...
to be there for you.
I guess you could say it gives my life a little purpose.
Well, I think you have a lot of purpose.
You're smart, caring, gorgeous.
I should go home.
I just don't feel right.
Why would anyone ever cheat on you?
How did you know that?
"Everything was made bright by her.
She was the smile that shed light on all around her."
Why would you -- Why would you say that?
It's me.
I'm William.
Oh, my God.
-No, no. -Come back.
No, no, no. I-I didn't know it was you.
I couldn't tell you it was me
'cause you would have never given me a chance!
Of course not -- you're my student.
No, this can't happen.
Oh, it already did happen. We understand each other --
know each other better than anybody else.
Take everything that's right and wrong
and just throw it aside for a second and look into your heart.
Just look into your heart for a second.
Look into your heart. Give me a chance, okay?
Please, give me a chance, Bri.
Stop fighting it. Stop fighting it. I got you.
I got you. I got you.
Stop fighting it.
I got you now.
Oh, leaving without saying good-bye?
Last night was amazing.
What did you do?
Nothing you didn't want me to.
What was in my water?
What, are you accusing me of something?
You're sick.
Oh, Brianna -- you're not in a position to judge anybody.
It's "Professor Scott."
Stay away from me.
I have to report this, you know.
And say what? That you slept with your student
and did God knows what with him all night long?
-I'll -- -No, no, no, no.
You're not gonna say anything to anybody.
You're gonna play nice, or else I'm gonna have to report you.
Why are you doing this?
Because I-I need you.
See you at school, babe.
Hi, babe!
Stop. Stop.
What?
It's "Professor Scott."
Last night was so hot, babe.
Tutoring this afternoon is gonna be really fun.
Actually, after reviewing your recent work
and your level of improvement,
I feel that the tutoring sessions
are no longer necessary.
What, you don't want to spend time with me?!
Class is about to start.
Go and take a seat, Mr. Thompson.
Cooper? Cooper.
Are you home?
You scared me.
I'm sorry. Just out for a walk.
That's good. A walk will help you decompress.
We need to talk about what happened.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I was really stressed out,
and I shouldn't take it out on you.
I know, I get it. I get it.
But I -- I mean, I can't be fearing for safety
in my own home.
I know, it was just that girl that I told you about.
She's -- She's been giving me all these mixed signals.
It's just messing me up in the head.
I'm really sorry.
I don't -- I don't know that that's a great excuse,
but how so?
I don't want to talk about it, okay?
But, look, I know you have your own life.
You're older. You're an adult.
You can go stay at Nick's whenever you want.
I'll be fine.
Well, I have a feeling I'm gonna be
sticking around a little bit more.
Pretty sure he's gonna get back with his ex,
and I honestly can't go through that again.
-No, no, no, he can't do that. -Whatever, you know?
It was just supposed to be a fling anyway.
-But that's BS. -You can't let him do that.
Please do not let him do that.
You know, you amaze me.
I never really figured you were gonna be
so supportive of me and Nick,
but you're not gonna do anything about it, okay?
I'm gonna grab a shower. Get some rest.
Okay.
-You're really improving. -Okay, okay.
When you first started...
Right.
Online dating -- how's that going for you?
I'm a little old-fashioned. I, uh --
My idea of the perfect date is showing up at her doorstep
with a bouquet of her favorite flowers and...
Most of these women all move a lot faster, you know?
You're such a gentleman.
Anyone would be lucky to have you.
I wish, just once, a man would bring me a bouquet white poms.
-White poms. -Yeah, they're my favorite.
Speaking of men, uh, whatever happened to that guy
you were chatting with online?
Just wasn't a good match.
He -- He wasn't who I thought he was.
Um, I got to go.
I got to get to class, okay? I'll see you later.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, sorry, Professor Merritt.
Oh, it's okay, Cooper.
See you in class.
Yeah!
Steph, wait up. Let me walk with you.
Hey, Coop. What's up?
Nothing much, but I was wondering
if you'd like to sit together today in English.
Okay, that'd be cool.
I saved a spot just for you.
Aww.
You did?
Uh-huh.
I did.
Like I told you at the beginning of the year,
the recommended reading is for your benefit, not mine.
To get the most out of this class,
putting in that extra effort is absolutely gonna reflect
in your work and your overall growth.
Excuse me. Professor Scott?
These came for you.
Okay, that's enough. Quiet down.
Um, it -- Does it say who they're from?
I didn't see a card.
Thanks.
Um, I-I'll be right back, okay?
Just, uh, feel free to do some reading while I step out.
So, remember, when we consider this equation,
that it may not have a solution.
That's it for today.
See you next time.
So, English, math.
What's next until you see me?
-Cooper. -I --
I need to speak with you.
I'm sad we got interrupted.
I was just, you know, getting to know you a little better.
But, uh, I guess I'll see you after class.
Okay. I can give you a ride home, if you want.
-Yeah, I'd love that. -Okay.
All right, bye.
You like the flowers I got you?
I can't accept them.
Oh, come on.
I got your favorite.
Plus, I didn't want you to get jealous of me
and Stephanie at all.
I'm not jealous.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
You shouldn't have done this.
And you have to stop.
It's so childish.
You hear me?
Hey, Coop!
Wait up!
Look, I'm not in the mood.
What's wrong? Maybe I can help.
No, you can't help, so why don't you just take
your needy self and go somewhere else?
Steph? What's wrong?
N-Nothing.
It's nothing.
It's okay. Talk to me.
Tell me what happened.
I-I-I-I thought he really liked me.
He just humiliated me in front of everyone.
It's okay.
Come here.
Men can be so cruel sometimes.
You want to grab a coffee?
Okay.
Mr. Merritt, you have any idea who did this?
-No clue. -Okay, who's Brianna?
That's me.
Ex-boyfriend? Overzealous lover?
Um...
Did you ever find out who sent you those flowers the other day?
No. No, I didn't.
All we can do at this point is file a report.
We'll let you know if we get any leads.
But in the mean time, you really should put cameras
on all sides of the building.
I thank you, Officer.
This college is normally so safe.
Um, we are just all very concerned.
I can only imagine.
If you have any other problems, give us a call, okay?
-All right. -Thank you, Officer.
Bri.
This is so sexy.
Let's get something straight.
Messing with me is one thing, but what you did
to Professor Merritt's car is inexcusable.
I just didn't like the way he was looking at you.
Tough. My life, my friendships, are none of your business.
You're my student. That's it. You got it?
I thought we had something special.
You tricked me. You know it.
I think something is seriously wrong with you.
I thought about calling your sister,
but based on what you've told me about her,
I doubt she would do anything to fix the problem anyway.
Don't talk to my sister.
I thought we had an understanding.
Do what you have to do, Cooper.
It's your word against mine, and my word is the truth.
Nothing happened between us.
Are you sure?
Look, how about I show you this?
And there's more.
Now, does this look like nothing happened between us?
-That's a lie. -Prove it.
I can't live like this.
You're harassing me, and all I ever did
was try to be there for you,
try to understand you and be on your side.
You know, I know what it's like growing up
and feeling like you're left all alone.
I wanted you to know that somebody really cared about you.
-That was a lie. -No, it wasn't.
I care about what happens to you.
That's why if this continues, I'm gonna talk to Dean Marsh.
Okay, then I'll post them --
the pictures, the videos, all of them.
Everything all over the Internet,
and you're gonna lose everything.
It's a good thing I don't have much to lose anyway.
You know, I can always move. I can find a new job.
But what about you?
Huh? You'll have to live with yourself
and what you've done forever.
Believe me, that's much worse.
You're gonna be sorry.
I already am.
Now get out of my office.
Alpha 5, we got to get out of here!
It's way too hot. We need more firepower.
They own the sky.
We got to back out.
Roger that, we're gonna meet up at Gator 6.
We got to fight our way out. Let's go.
Coop, can I talk to you?
-Sure. -You want to turn that off?
I can talk and play.
Okay, then.
I just wanted to check on you
and see how things were going with that girl.
You ever have to remind yourself to breathe?
Remind your heart to beat?
Coop, if you're not happy with her, just end it.
If something's not working in your life,
just get rid of it.
That's good advice.
Hey, this is Stephanie.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
Hey, Stephanie.
I just wanted to say that, uh, I'm really, really, really sorry
about what I said to you earlier today,
and I really hope you can forgive me.
Could you please give me a call back?
I really need your help with something.
Or just meet me at my house in about an hour
on the dot, all right?
It's actually an emergency.
All right, thanks. Bye.
I didn't think you'd show.
Well, I was pretty upset, but I couldn't just not come.
Well, thanks.
You know I had to sneak out.
My RA will kill me if I'm out past curfew.
What happened?
-Professor Scott. -What about her?
She needs to be taught a lesson.
What do you mean?
She's like the coolest professor we have.
Want to know why I got mad at you today?
Because of her.
She told me to stay away from you.
No, that can't be true.
She was comforting me. She wouldn't do that.
Come on, you gonna call me a liar?
No, but I --
No, she gives me problems every single day.
She even threatened to fail me.
That's why she tried to get between me and you.
Because she's just so miserable in her own life,
and she doesn't want anyone else to be happy.
You're happy hanging out with me?
Of course.
So, you'll help me get back at her?
So, it's happening tonight.
Meet me at the east wing, 00 sharp.
And bring the stuff we talked about.
I have to admit, this is kind of exciting.
You sure we won't get caught?
Steph, this is gonna be a night to remember.
Trust me.
I don't even know where to begin.
It's just so complicated.
Start from the beginning.
I have a student.
He was having some problems this year,
and I offered to help him.
-You know, to tutor him. -Right.
Well, one day, he -- he asked me for a ride home,
and I felt sorry for him, so I-I said okay.
But then, he -- he asked me to walk him inside.
He gave me a glass of water, and I...
He must have drugged me.
-What? -Next thing I remember,
I woke up next to him in nothing but my underwear.
And now, he's getting more aggressive.
He sent me flowers to school.
He's threatening the other teachers.
He -- He took incriminating photos of me.
Photos of what?
When I was knocked out, he --
he put me in these compromising positions
to make it look like I was intimate with him.
Did he rape you?
No, but it looks really bad.
Really bad. And -- And if I -- if I report it,
he said he's gonna post the pictures.
He -- He's trying to ruin my life,
and I-I thought I could just handle things on my own
like I always do.
But I-I don't -- I don't know what to do anymore.
You don't have to do it alone.
Okay, I'm here for you.
And I never stopped loving you.
I promise, I'm gonna do everything I can to help you.
Thank you.
-Aah! -Oh, my God.
Oh, a little jumpy, are we?
Stupid! Yeah, I didn't see you.
Hey, I brought it.
Good, good, good, good, good.
All right, here. Stand here.
Cooper?
My English Lit professor --
I think I'm in love.
My English Lit professor -- I think I'm in love.
My English Lit professor.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, here, uh, before you go, uh, take this.
It's pouring outside.
Thanks.
-Thanks for listening. -Of course.
What did you do to my brother?
-I got to go. -Wait, where are you going?
-It's Cooper. -What?
He's the student I was telling you about.
-Your Cooper? -Apparently, it's her brother.
Small world, huh?
He's threatening one of the other students.
I have to go.
Wait, Bri. Wait, I'm coming with you.
Here, the files.
-Give me some breathing room. -Oh.
I've got to find my file.
Hold there.
All right, stay here.
Don't let anyone else in this room but me, got it?
Okay, okay.
Over there!
Come on.
-God! God, it's locked! -It's locked!
-Cooper! -Cooper!
-I know you're in there!
Open the door!
I hope Stephanie's okay.
-I can't see anybody. -Is he here?
The doors are locked and we can't get in.
-I'll check around back. -I'll go to the side.
Cooper! Cooper, open up!
Stephanie! Cooper!
Cooper?
Cooper!
Cooper, it's me! Where are you?
-Cooper! -Cooper!
Hey! Stephanie!
Stephanie!
Stephanie, come on!
Please, you've got to get out!
Listen I know -- I know you don't know me.
We don't know each other, but if you come out,
I'll explain everything. You're in danger.
-Die! -Aah!
No, no, no, no, no, no!
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
What have I done?!
Wait, who are you?
If you would just listen to me for one second,
I can get you out. I --
Stephanie? Stephanie, what are you doing?
-Come on, let us in! -I know what you did!
Stephanie, you can't believe everything you see, okay?
It's not what you think. I-I promise you --
I didn't see anything! But -- But Cooper told me!
He told me everything!
He told me how you wanted to come between us!
No! No, now, open the door.
You have to trust me, all right?
Trust me, Cooper is very dangerous.
Trust me, please! Just open the door, all right?
-Ah!
-Oh, my -- -She's not breathing.
-Cooper!
Don't move! I'll cut her throat!
Don't make things worse than they already are!
Don't you get it? My parents died.
My sister's useless. I had nobody until I met you.
You tried to take everything from me.
That's not love, Cooper.
But you made me feel like everything in my life
happened for a reason.
You felt just like me -- lonely, forgotten.
We're not the same. You have to let me go.
You were the one bright light that I had in my life,
making me feel just a little less lonely.
I should have known it was gonna burn out.
Now, take your pills, Cooper.
Here's your water.
Good.
Very good.
Now, Cooper, how do you feel?
