-Previously on Sheriff Country... -40 years age difference,
and we're in the exact same damn spot.
Can't figure out what the hell to do next.
Aren't you going legal?
MICKEY: You drive me up the damn wall, Dad,
but you're still one of the good ones.
I want what you and Mickey had.
But I have a lot of work to do on myself.
I'm sorry, Travis.
Boone didn't tell me he had a sister.
Nora is not my sister, Mickey. She's my wife.
MICKEY: So, Nora was married to Boone's partner?
NORA: Nate was his best friend.
MICKEY: You guys are together?
Uh, I mean, there's a lot of feelings there, but no.
All the hurt doesn't really leave
a lot of room for anything else.
* *
The drum line's a complete joke.
They can't keep step to save their lives.
What do you expect? There's way too many freshmen.
(girl moaning nearby)
(laughter)
Bro, is that someone...?
Totally hooking up. Yeah.
Okay, shh.
(girl moaning nearby)
(moaning continues)
(pained moaning and panting)
GIRL: Oh, my God.
Allison?
GIRL: What happened?
-(pained grunt) -BOY: Someone, call 911!
(distant gunfire)
(frustrated groan)
(Nora sighs)
I'm terrible.
-Oh, careful. Here. -Oh.
-(laughs): Sorry. -It's okay.
No, it's-it's-- you're just--
you're, um, you're squeezing the trigger a little too tightly.
-Oh, okay. -So, let's-- all right.
Let's, um, let's do our-- Yeah.
We're gonna wrap-wrap the gun in our hands.
Nice. No crazy fingers.
There we go.
Push with the strong hand.
Pull with your weak hand.
Focus on the front sight.
And just breathe.
And then just squeeze her gentle.
(Nora exhaling slowly)
(exhaling slowly)
(laughs): Yes.
-My work here is done. -Yeah. Yeah.
(both laughing)
* *
I got a shift.
We got to get out of here.
Representative.
(louder): Representative.
I want to speak to a representative!
Geez.
-Weed paperwork getting the better of him? -Man's trying to go legal,
but he might kill somebody in the process.
TRAVIS: Hey, there's my employee of the month.
(chuckles) Dad, I just started.
So what? Demand a raise.
-Representative! -I can stay on hold for you, Grandpa.
-You want one? -Oh, it's 9:00 in the morning.
Well, I figured you've been helping yourself
to everything else around here, so...
Grandpa, be nice. Dad and Cassidy just broke up.
Oh, you did?
Don't act so surprised. It happens.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. So is she. Uh, it was mutual.
-Right. -It was.
And I'm working on myself now.
I'm back on the Peloton.
-I'm on the apps. -Apps? What?
-He's online dating. -(laughing)
What? Why is that funny?
Uh, nothing turns a woman on quicker than
a guy that starts sobbing in the middle of a date.
-Grandpa. -I'm fine.
Guys, the breakup was mutual.
Yeah.
(stammers)
You ready to go, kiddo?
Mm-hmm.
(sighs) Wes, I can help you with that, if you want-- going legal.
I've helped a few growers. It's a bit of a process.
That's a great idea.
Grandpa, you should definitely let him help you.
Pro bono?
That's the only legal term my dad knows.
Yeah, sure, I'll do it pro bono.
I always said you was the best of the Fraleys.
Not that that's a real high bar.
Hey, um...
You know he's not gonna be an easy client, right?
(sighs): Yeah.
I also know how much your dad going legal means to you.
Don't worry about it. I know how to handle him.
(door closes)
So, Nora's still hanging out in Edgewater, huh?
She wants to see all the sights.
Who wouldn't? It's Edgewater after all.
So, you and she, you're...?
We're just friends, Cassidy.
Does she know that?
Boone, Cassidy. Oh.
Travis told me you guys broke up.
Are you okay?
Couldn't be better.
Good for you.
Actually, could you give this to him when you see him?
-That's mine. -Really?
Well, I'm decluttering.
Anything that doesn't spark joy, it's got to go.
Good to know that inner peace can be achieved so easily.
Okay, we have two incoming.
A possible battery at Edgewater High.
-Go, Eagles. -And an altercation
between a divorcing couple over marital assets.
Guess which one you guys are getting.
-No. Mick. -Aw, come on, Mickey.
I didn't go to Oakland!
(sighs)
-Move your ass, Lucinda! -Hey, Buddy!
-Get out of the damn car! -Or so help me...
-Divorcing couple. -(shouting continues)
I'd rather deal with a stone-cold killer.
-I will run you over! -Oh, yeah, okay. -BOONE: No, no.
Nobody's gonna run anybody over.
Can you get out of the car, please?
It is about time you got here.
I was coming out to go to work,
and there he was, stealing my car.
Read this. It says I get the car.
She doesn't give a damn about the car.
-She just doesn't want me to have it. -Do you know what?
If you hadn't cheated on me, you'd still have it.
Okay, ma'am, can you please step back?
You Buddy Turner?
-And you're Lucinda? -Yeah.
The judge awarded the car to her, Buddy,
so give her the keys or we got to take you in
for contempt of a court order.
Both sets.
Thank you, Deputy.
Come on.
Those old Mustangs.
-Love the round quad lamps. -(engine starts)
I never knew you were a gearhead.
I'm not. Not anymore.
* *
We honeymooned in that car.
Drove down P.C.H., all the way to L.A.
There's lots of great cars out there.
I'm selling a '69 Dodge Charger, if you're interested.
'69's a great car. Why part with it?
It's just collecting dust.
Hey, Buddy, you need a ride?
I'd be much obliged, Deputy.
(indistinct announcements over P.A.)
She has a concussion.
Your school has one job: protect my daughter.
Which is why I called the sheriff.
We're just as anxious as you are to get to the bottom of this.
Hi, Allison.
I'm Sheriff Fox.
Can you tell me who did this to you?
They came up behind me.
I didn't see who it was.
So you have no idea who attacked you?
MICKEY: She's lying.
The black eye, scratches on the front of her neck.
She came face to face with her attacker.
What's scary is we're a closed campus.
To think someone from the school community did this...
I'd like to talk to her friends.
(school bell ringing)
-Is Allison gonna be okay? -I think so.
-Principal Markey mentioned that you guys are tight. -(phone dings)
Best friends, since, like, fifth grade.
-Do you know anyone who might've done this? -(phone dings)
-Sorry. -Everybody loves Allie.
She's, like, the most popular girl at school.
Thanks, Darcy.
Let me know if you guys hear anything, okay?
Mm-hmm.
MR. DIAMOND: There she is.
Mr. Diamond.
I'm not your English teacher anymore.
You can call me Edward.
-Never gonna happen. -(chuckles)
Do you have a minute?
Sure. Come on.
We're decorating for the homecoming dance.
The theme's An American in Paris,
unless we don't finish the Eiffel Tower in time.
Then the theme will be "High School Gym."
Gary. Louise.
Say hi to Mickey Fox,
one of the best students ever to come through here.
He brags on you all the time.
I wouldn't have graduated if it weren't for him.
I just wish I were here under better circumstances.
Allison Duffy.
Do you know anyone she was squabbling with
or anybody who maybe wanted to hurt her?
MR. DIAMOND: I haven't heard anything.
Gary, you're the guidance counselor.
You're pretty dialed-in.
Allison? No, I haven't heard anything like that, sorry.
It was nice to meet you.
(students laughing)
BOY: God, is that Allison?
(laughter and chatter continue)
* *
MICKEY: What's your school policy on cell phones?
Off-limits during school hours. Why?
I think someone might have filmed the attack.
Technically, I need a warrant. You, on the other hand...
Ben.
What's the rule on phones during school hours?
Uh, we're not supposed to be on them?
Right answer.
Hand it over, unlocked, please.
Wait, is that...?
Darcy.
Allison's "best friend."
* *
DARCY: He doesn't give a damn about you.
Stay the hell away from him!
(Allison grunting)
Look at me. (grunts)
(panting)
Well, you can forget college.
What school's gonna offer you a scholarship after that?
MICKEY: I'm afraid Darcy's got bigger problems.
She's facing arrest for felony battery.
I spoke to your friends.
They're covering for you,
but this video makes them accessories.
So it's not just your future on the line.
If you can tell me what this is about,
it'll go a long way towards reducing your punishment.
You mention a "he" in the video.
Was this fight about a boy?
There was someone.
Some kid slipped a love note in her locker a few months back.
-You went through my locker? -I was dropping off
the inhaler that you forgot.
Darcy, if this is about some boy, start talking.
The sheriff is trying to help you.
(breathes deeply, sniffles)
It's bad enough that I have to see him every day.
I don't want to get him in trouble, too.
TRAVIS: Okay, first question.
-Do you have a deed for your property? -Yep.
Well, I don't know where the sucker is, but I've got one.
TRAVIS: Sacramento will love that.
It shows you're not a fly-by-night operation.
Okay, have you ever been convicted
of selling a Schedule I controlled substance?
Yep.
-I need dates. -What? When I sold it?
Uh, when you went to prison.
They know when I went to prison.
They're the ones who sent me to prison.
It's just a question, Grandpa.
Look, Wes, you got to think about this as a marathon, okay?
The county's gonna test every inch of soil on your property.
Fish and Wildlife's gonna want to see
a plan for pest and waste management.
Local agencies you've never heard of
are gonna demand their pound of flesh.
This is a bear.
But once we've filled all this out,
you got a good chance of getting your license.
"Good chance"?
You mean this is not guaranteed?
Well, it depends on your level of criminality,
but it's not like you killed somebody.
You haven't killed someone, have you?
I just might kill you.
The good news is
your convictions are all cannabis-related.
Sacramento will love that.
Sacramento gets to know everything about my operation,
and I could still end up with squat.
Don't blame the messenger. I'm just trying to help you.
Oh, bull.
You're just trying to score points with Mickey.
Who's trying to score points with Mickey, Wes? Oh.
Okay, or maybe you're just BS-ing going legal
-because you want her off your back. -You know what?
Screw this. And screw you, too.
-Sure. Wow. -I don't need the headache.
-Okay. -Okay, uh, Grandpa.
Look, I know it's frustrating, but it's important.
You promised Mom.
And you have a client meeting, right?
-Uh... -Yeah, you do. So, why don't you get going.
I'll stay here with Grandpa, help him find the deed.
We'll continue the questionnaire tomorrow.
Sound good?
(door opens)
Sit.
(door closes)
Okay.
(girls grunting)
-BOONE: This is tough to watch. -(girls shouting)
MICKEY: How'd the domestic go?
Cooler heads eventually prevailed.
-Divorces are the worst. -Mm.
I once saw a couple come to blows over airline points.
That's nothing. I saw a lady stab her husband
in the leg over a ceramic camel.
Seems pretty clear-cut.
You got two girls whaling on another one.
I mean, you got enough to arrest them.
MICKEY: I know.
But they're covering for someone.
-I want to know why. -What about the victim?
She still not talking?
MICKEY: No, not a peep. Darcy's 17.
I know, what she did is awful,
but I don't want to blow up her whole future if I can help it.
I know what it's like to pay for a mistake
you made in high school.
What, you talking about getting pregnant?
Yeah, it was brutal.
Looking back, I wouldn't change anything,
but back then, I thought my life was over.
Wait.
-Did you see that? -Hmm?
Right there.
She grabbed something.
You don't have to stick around.
Well, it's either this or grade freshman papers on "Beowulf."
(chuckles)
Ah, I had my first beer under these bleachers.
And my second and my third.
Rite of passage for every high schooler.
Travis drove me home,
and I rewarded him by puking all over his dashboard.
(laughing)
Also a rite of passage for every high schooler.
He walked me right into the house, though,
even though he knew my dad was gonna give him hell.
How is Travis these days?
He's good.
We get along great now that we're divorced.
May I ask...?
What happened?
We were young.
We had a good run.
It was inevitable that we would grow apart.
I don't know, Mickey.
Old flames are like old stars in the sky.
Can't tell whether the light actually burned out years ago.
Robert Frost?
Edward Diamond.
* *
MICKEY: Both girls, attacker and victim,
wore expensive pieces of gold jewelry.
It's the same charm.
I spoke to Darcy's dad.
Both items have the exact same quote engraved on them.
"Soul meets soul on lovers' lips."
Percy Shelley.
So, this was over a boy.
How many high school boys you know
can throw around Shelley like that?
Well, they just have to go to ChatGPT.
-Does the job for them. -Maybe.
But this necklace costs $600.
The bracelet wasn't much cheaper.
I don't know many Edgewater kids that can afford that.
Okay, but if it's not a boy, who else could it be?
Darcy mentioned that she didn't want to get "him" in trouble.
She said it was someone she saw every day.
You can avoid a boy.
But if you're a student and you have to go to class,
the one person you can't avoid...
Is your teacher.
This wasn't a fight over a boy, Elise.
I think this school has a predator on its hands.
-(sighs) Grandpa? Your system sucks. -(vehicle approaches)
I've gone through all these boxes.
-The deed's not in any of them. -(vehicle door closes)
WES (outside): Look, I told you, this afternoon, all right?
-Afternoon... -Grandpa?
-MAN: What do you want me to do? -WES: All right, wait here.
* *
-(door closes) -Going legal, huh?
-Who the hell is that? -Nothing for you to worry about. Skye!
Couldn't handle it.
-Crazy. -It's gone. -Hey.
What is this?
Hey. This is a nice surprise.
The text that you sent? Wh-What is this?
Well, it's-it's a 1970 Mustang.
We had a call.
It's-it's-it's a long story,
but Cassidy told me about this place that rents classic cars.
And I just thought that you and I could drive to Sonoma
this weekend, check out some wineries.
Why?
Because it would be fun.
But wh-- but why?
Like, why are we doing any of this?
Why are we grabbing nice dinners and driving up to Wine Country
-and playing house for the last week? -(Cassidy clears throat)
Mickey's out, if you guys just want to duck into her office.
-Do you want to...? -Mm-hmm.
Please.
What's going on?
I don't know. You tell me.
'Cause, honestly, right now I have no idea.
You say that you are gonna leave Edgewater,
and then you decide to stay.
And then you ask me to stay at your place,
but you're sleeping on the couch.
And one second, you want to kiss me,
and then the next second,
you can't get away from me fast enough.
Yeah, the-- yesterday at the firing range.
No, not the firing range. The whole week.
What am I to you?
* *
My partner's wife.
(scoffs) No.
-It's the truth, Nora. -First of all,
you know that Jason and I never got married.
And secondly, I mean, he is...
(sighs)
...gone, and I...
And this is not about Jason. This is about us.
This is about what we're feeling.
Or what I thought we were feeling.
I mean, you keep acting like that night never happened.
But it happened. We slept together.
MICKEY: Sorry.
I just...
I have to get something. Carry on.
I am such an idiot.
(sighs)
I thought that, when you told me
you were moving back to Oakland...
(sighs) ...that after all these years,
we were gonna finally get to act on our feelings,
but it turns out they're just...
...my feelings.
Are you kidding?
Every night, I stare at my bedroom door,
knowing that you're just on the other side.
You know how bad I want to go in there?
How bad I want to touch you?
Then what's the problem?
This whole thing that we have
is built on grief.
You were vulnerable.
I took advantage of you.
(scoffs) Come on. We're both adults.
I betrayed my partner.
A guy who had my back for ten years.
I betrayed him, too.
But, you know, whatever guilt that I felt I have let go of.
I've moved on.
I don't know. I...
(Nora sighs)
You know what? I'm just... I can't.
I'm so tired of this dance with you.
I'm going back to Oakland.
(door opens)
-What are you doing in here? -Uh, it's a long story.
Uh, you got a minute?
If it's about my dad, I warned you.
Actually, it's not about your dad.
All right, can you make it quick?
-I'm in the middle of something. -I know.
I'm in the middle of the same something.
The Allison Duffy case.
You really spooked that principal.
They retained me to represent the school's interests.
Your interests do not align with my interests.
Well, I can assure you, they do.
We're both trying to find out
who Allison and Darcy were fighting over.
And to that end, I have a person of interest.
No one's accused him directly, but a parent's come forward
with concerns about how much time their child has been
spending with a teacher.
-Edward Diamond? -He's been giving her money, too.
The parent found Venmo receipts.
Okay, that's absurd.
That man is literally the reason why I have my diploma.
Mickey... (stammers)
All the help he gave you our senior year: tutoring,
buying your school supplies, driving you home from school...
He took an interest.
Or maybe he was grooming you.
-Oh, Travis, come on. -Maybe.
Maybe the only reason he stopped is 'cause you were pregnant.
I was 18.
I had no resources, no mom, Dad in jail.
Edward Diamond was there for me when nobody else was,
including you.
-Wow. Really? -Yes, really.
I haven't forgotten how you reacted
-when I told you I was pregnant. -I was a kid.
One minute I'm begging my sister for beer,
and the next I'm a father?
What teenage boy is ready for something like that?
Obviously not you.
Okay. I came back.
I was with you for the next 20 years.
And by the way, you think it was easy for me?
My parents wanted you to have an abortion.
I took your side.
They didn't talk to me for a long time, Mick.
My hero.
(clicks tongue)
Well, uh, why don't you take a look at that file,
and then you can tell me how wrong I am
about your hero, Edward Diamond.
(horn honks)
Hey, it's seven miles to town.
You g-- you gonna walk the whole way?
Come on. Hear me out, please.
(engine shuts off)
Look, uh, first off,
going legal, it's a long process.
Takes a while, so I have, I have a right to make a living, right?
My dad was right.
You are just trying to appease my mom.
That's not true. I'm allowing for contingencies.
-"Contingencies"? -Yeah.
What if I don't get a license?
What if the state says that I'm too much of a risk?
My mom is going to make you leave.
You know that, right?
If she finds out
that you're still growing illegally.
I don't want that.
I love having you around, Grandpa,
but you need to figure out what you want:
your old life or me in your life.
Check this out.
Ugh, I really don't feel like
going down memory lane right now, Travis.
Mick.
Skye's team.
North Coast Sectional runners-up.
They had a great season.
MICKEY: Yeah, they were great until they lost in the final.
Skye was inconsolable.
* *
Coach didn't want the pregnant girl in the photo.
Let's go get this over with.
Am I in trouble?
ELISE: Mickey needs to ask you about a few things
that have come to light since the incident with Allison.
Mr. Fraley is helping us
with any legal issues that might come up.
Legal issues? Do I need a lawyer?
You can call one if you like,
but this is really just a conversation.
Well, in that case, fire away.
All right. Mr. Diamond...
Edward, already.
(chuckles) According to Darcy's father,
you drove her home a few times last semester.
-Is that true? -It is.
I also drove her to The Meat Up, where she works after school.
It's on my way home.
It's nothing her dad didn't know about.
Did you stop anywhere?
Excuse me?
Uh, driving Darcy home or to The Meat Up,
did you make any other stops?
What's going on here?
Uh, Darcy's father says you, uh, bought her some school supplies.
I bought lots of kids school supplies
who didn't have the means.
I bought Mickey school supplies.
Am I being accused of something?
We just need information.
Just trying to touch all the bases.
Is it true that you also paid for her college applications?
Yes, because her parents didn't have the money.
They're nowhere near to having it.
Look, I'm not gonna apologize
for helping a student with Darcy's kind of promise.
Again, this is nothing her dad didn't know about.
I'm afraid he's seeing it in a different light.
Edward.
No, Mickey!
In all the time we spent together,
did you ever, for a second, feel uncomfortable?
No.
But you had to think about it.
I'm sorry, Edward, but until we have a clearer picture,
I'm gonna have to put you on leave.
Sounds like you already have a clear picture, Elise.
(door opens)
(door closes)
Do you really think he's guilty?
Mickey, I don't know.
Based on the facts, I think maybe.
I can't ruin his life on a "maybe."
That was a pretty big fight.
The one between you and Nora, not the one between
Mickey and Travis, just to be clear.
Please stop talking.
Copy that.
DISPATCHER: Boone 15, Dispatch One.
We've got a 415 public disturbance
at 66 Lynwood Drive.
-Isn't that... -Buddy and Lucinda's house.
(siren wailing)
(tires screeching)
LUCINDA: You're not fooling anyone, Buddy.
You'd set me on fire before you set that car on fire.
Don't tempt me!
No, nobody is setting anything on fire!
Buddy, I need you to step away from the vehicle, please.
No can do, Deputy.
-I'll talk to him. -Just-- he's all talk.
-You get her. -That's all he is.
-Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk! -CASSIDY: Buddy,
there's a thousand other Mustangs out there.
You go buy one of them, do it up.
That's how you move on.
(sighs)
LUCINDA: Coward.
You're just a spineless coward!
CASSIDY: Buddy!
Buddy! Buddy!
(screaming)
He has third-degree burns over 70% of his body.
He's also in respiratory distress,
which is only gonna get more acute.
Pain management is our focus now.
BOONE: Hey, Buddy.
(weakly): Lucinda.
I want to talk to her.
She'll probably say no, but I need to see her.
We can try to do that for you, Buddy, sure.
(whispers): I'll talk to her, see if I can get her here.
I'll stay here with Buddy.
*
All right, because we're speaking on school grounds,
California law allows you to have an adult present.
Darcy has chosen Mr. Wyland.
Allison, what about you?
I'd like Mr. Wyland, too.
MICKEY: Okay.
Um, I've asked you girls here because I believe
you've been victims of a sexual predator.
And if I'm honest, I've hit a dead end.
I need your help if I'm gonna find him.
But that's where it's tricky.
I don't think you want me to find him.
I think you're both in love with this person.
I think you look up to him.
Trust me when I tell you, he would not step up for you
the way you're stepping up for him.
Come on, girls. You were best friends.
Look at what it's cost you.
-Not much. -(scoffs) Go to hell, Darcy.
You know, I can't wait till you screw off to USC.
Yeah, I bet you'd love that.
But I'm going to Edgewater State.
What? Why?
You got a perfect score on your SATs.
Darcy is choosing the best college for her.
It's not all about a school's reputation.
Well, I'm sure wherever you end up,
you'll be a frat boy's dream.
Drop trou, hop on board. Free rides for the whole house.
There's no need to attack her, Allison.
Are you serious, Gary? I'm attacking her?!
GARY: I'm sorry. It's a poor choice of words.
Just watch the attitude.
She beat me up, and you're defending her?!
I'm not defending anyone. Allison, wait!
Sorry, I...
I thought this sit-down would be more helpful.
Actually, it has been.
-(quiet chatter) -(dishes clinking)
What's the best tip you ever got?
Punch and his golf buddies.
They left me a hundred bucks on a $200 check.
That's not bad.
For me, it was, uh, some trimmigrants.
They left me a couple of joints and a Soundgarden CD.
So, you used to work here?
Till I paid for college.
My dad was a single dad, too, like yours.
Don't get me wrong-- my dad had money,
but you can't exactly pay for, uh, Edgewater State
with bundles of cash.
So, this is where you tell me how similar we are?
How we both worked at The Meat Up and went to Edgewater State,
so why don't I just tell you
who Allison and I were fighting over?
We're not that similar.
For one, I was pregnant when I graduated.
And I was not in your league.
Captain of the debate team,
all-star forward in field hockey,
a full scholarship to USC, Notre Dame and...
Which one am I missing?
Michigan.
But you want to stay in Edgewater?
Why is that?
Edgewater State's a good school.
Edgewater State is fine.
(laughs): I went to Edgewater State.
That's not why you're staying.
You're staying because
you're in love with your guidance counselor.
His whole job is getting kids into big-name colleges,
but he seemed perfectly fine
with you attending a lower-ranked school.
Gary did his job.
I just didn't want to go to those places.
"Gary."
Don't you mean "Mr. Wyland"?
I couldn't help but notice how both you and Allison
asked for him to be your support person
and how upset she got when he defended you, not her.
I think you attacked Allison
after you found out that they were sleeping together.
You saw her necklace.
He figured fancy jewelry worked with one girl,
-it's gonna work with the other. -He's not like that.
No?
Why do you think he defended you over Allison?
I'm gonna tell you why.
She's 18.
She's above the age of consent.
If the truth comes out that he's with her,
he just has to look for another job.
You're 17.
If he gets caught with you,
that's statutory rape, ten years in prison.
He's not loyal, Darcy.
He's just out to save his own neck.
He's not a rapist.
Okay? He's a really good guy, and he loves me.
There are plenty of good guys out there.
They don't always get it right...
(chuckles softly)
...but guys who'll stand by you when it matters most.
Gary is not that.
He's a predator, and he took advantage of you.
What do I have to do to prove it to you?
What are his chances?
Not good.
He wants to see you.
Yeah, I don't...
I don't think so.
* *
We may not be having this conversation tomorrow, Lucinda.
Are you married, Deputy Boone?
It's, uh...
it's complicated.
So, un-complicate it.
People get so caught up on who's right and who's wrong and...
when it's really quite simple.
Either love them or you don't.
Everything else is nonsense.
Life is so damn short.
(phone dings)
Allison?
Hello.
Probably a little older than you were expecting.
-You texted me. -From Allison's phone.
She wasn't too happy you sided with Darcy.
I don't know what you're playing at,
but if this is a sting, you can't touch me.
-Allison's 18. -She is.
But Darcy isn't.
Deputy.
I can't believe it.
You said that you loved me.
Darcy, if you testify, you'll be all over the news.
-MICKEY: Get him out of here. -It'll ruin your life. Darcy!
Darcy! You'll ruin your life!
(door closes)
He's wrong.
-Okay? -Yeah.
Because I already ruined my life.
You just got it back.
I'm gonna speak to the D.A., recommend a lighter sentence.
You're gonna get through this.
(sniffling softly)
* *
(sighs)
Well, let's do it.
Are you sure?
Mm-hmm.
The government wants to know everything.
Well, if it's between letting Sacramento in
on a few of my secrets or losing you,
it's an easy choice.
Well, we tried.
See you soon.
(weakly): She's not coming, is she?
You don't have to stick around.
Check this out.
BUDDY: She's a beauty.
Hemi engine?
Originally.
We switched it out for a big-block 440.
Is that you?
CASSIDY: On the right, yeah.
The other one's my sister.
Zoey.
She bought it for a thousand bucks.
It was her dream to rebuild it.
We started, but we never finished.
I guess I gave up trying.
Now it's collecting dust.
(softly): Yeah.
Why would you sell that car?
Need to clear out space.
It reminds me of her.
And it hurts.
Getting rid of that car isn't gonna make the hurt go away.
You got to drive that sucker.
Finish what you and she started.
It's the only way.
(amplified): Check, check.
Check.
I owe you an apology.
Apology accepted.
Don't get me wrong.
It hurt to be suspected, especially by you.
But I know you were just doing your job.
Listen, I'm sorry, too.
You and Mickey always had such a great connection.
I think I've always been a little jealous of you.
Well, thank you, Travis.
And I want to apologize to you.
For telling Mickey that you went to the prom without her.
(chuckles): Which I just did.
-Now, hold-- Hey. Okay. -Whoa. Okay, let me get this straight.
-Let me explain. -While I was home,
eight months pregnant,
and I was feeling sorry for you 'cause you had bronchitis,
you were actually here doing the Macarena?
Technically, it was the Cha Cha Slide.
And in my defense, I didn't go with a girl.
It was just some guy friends.
(Travis clears throat)
* *
I-I don't know what it was like for you when you got pregnant.
I can say I do, but I don't.
Walking through these halls,
hearing kids whispering behind your back--
I can only imagine what that was like.
It's so much easier for guys.
It's not fair, and I'm just sorry you had to go through it.
I just want you to know,
you were never "not pictured" for me.
I always saw you.
(sighs)
At least I tried to.
("You're Still the One" by Shania Twain playing)
(chuckles)
You know, you never got that prom dance.
* Looks like we made it *
Can I make it up to you?
* Look how far we've come, my baby *
* We might've took the long way *
* We knew we'd get there someday *
* They said, "I bet" *
Hey.
* "They'll never make it" *
Hey.
* But just look at us holding on *
* We're still together, still going strong... *
What are you doing?
Ending our friendship.
* You're still the one I run to *
* The one that I belong to *
* You're still the one I want for life *
* You're still the one *
* You're still the one that I love *
* The only one I dream of *
* You're still the one I kiss good night *
* Ain't nothing better *
* We beat the odds together *
* I'm glad we didn't listen *
* Look at what we would be missin' *
* They said, "I bet they'll never make it" *
* But just look at us holding on *
-* We're still together... * -(laughs) It's not bad.
Aw, what? Okay.
You really pulled out all the stops. (laughing)
* You're still the one I run to *
* The one that I belong to *
* You're still the one I want... *
It's high school. People might talk.
Let them.
* You're still the one that I love *
* The only one I dream of *
* You're still the one I kiss *
* Good night *
* I'm so glad we made it *
* Look how far we've come, my baby. *
