I pick the 2nd one.

There are other solutions. We're here for that.

You're not!

We all failed Francis!

I failed him.

In memory of Francis Gagnon - 16

Are you okay?

Sorry about Francis.

Can I do anything?

Jeff, congratulations.

Thanks.

Provincial champ once again.

That's right!

What's next?

Hopefully, the Olympics one day!

For now, the Nationals next summer.

Only one spot per province and it's mine.

What time are you going for?

1:
54.

I'm training to win, not to chill.

Glad you came.

Come on.

Everyone.

Tim's your new teammate.

You know everyone?

Put your bag down.

Warm up everyone.

Welcome to the team, buddy.

Stop chatting, let's go!

What will you run?

800m, like I used to.

Really?

Took you long to decide!

Hope you run faster than you make decisions.

Come on.

What are your goals for this season?

24.30 for 200m.

Under 19 min for 5000m.

Nationals, 800m.

Nationals, 800m.

24.25 for 200m.

See you tomorrow?

Really going for it...

There's only one spot for the Nationals.

Yeah.

You're dumb or what?

I'll win in 1:
54, you can't even break 2 min.

Just saying.

Hard enough with your boyfriend's suicide.

Sorry, he wasn't your boyfriend.

Anyway...

Good luck.

On your mark...

57.

Looking good, my little Princess!

Thirsty?

Call me Princess one more time!

Tim, stop!

It's just a f***ing joke!

Stop! Leave him alone!

Stop it, guys!

Stop that!

Calm down!

Calm down.

Relax!

You too!

You two, in my office, now!

Get in there!

Tim, move it!

Sit down.

You don't have to like each other

but you're on the same team.

I know Tim's meddling in your things,

so just run faster.

You, take a chill pill, I saw you attack Jeff.

I'm talking!

Whatever he said,

I won't tolerate disrespect in my team.

Is that clear?

Is that clear?

Put your hands on me.

What?

Put your hands on me.

Come on! Make out with me.

Isn't that what you want?!

Why'd you kiss me?

You thought you could kiss me without asking?

You're just like those guys even if you're a

fag.

It's not what you think. Stop!

It's not what you think.

Please!

It's not what you think.

Wait.

Just listen.

You think I'm stupid?

I know you kissed me

to prove to everyone you're not gay!

You used me.

Let me go!

You let me down.

5km warm-up today.

Acceleration drills, then sprints.

Finish up with 2 tempo runs

and a nice cool down.

1:
57 Tim. 1:58 Jeff.

If you ever do that again...

Don't touch me!

Guys, stop it!

Sorry, Jen...

Your times are starting to get to Jeff.

Be careful, he won't go down without a fight.

No hanky-panky, lovers!

Party at my house tonight. It'll be sick.

Pick me up at 8pm.

You leave me no choice with your kiss.

If we don't look like a couple,

your plan won't work.

Jeff asked me out one time.

What did you say?

Wasn't as lucky as you.

Come on.

How are you?

Good. You?

So glad you made it!

Pretty sick party, huh?

Did you see all the hot girls?

We saw it's your birthday tomorrow!

Let's celebrate. What do you drink?

I don't really drink.

Yeah, right!

Who is it?

- It's Jeff.

Let's get this party started.

Cheers!

Hits hard, right?

Happy you're here. Want a beer?

I'll take one.

We're going downstairs, okay?

Sure!

Don't forget! No latex, no sex!

Shut up!

3, 2, 1!

9 seconds!

I'll do it!

Tim is on fire!

Get ready!

3, 2, 1!

8 seconds!

Check out his face!

I know I f***ed up, Francis.

Stop. Not here.

Hello, Timmy.

Great party last night, huh!?

What will I do with this nice video.

Leave me alone.

Jeff is now disconnected.

Delete your account

You coming?

Just changing. Be right there.

Happy birthday Tim

Happy birthday...

Make a wish.

Now your gift.

9 new messages from Jeff

Here.

Birthday messages?

Yeah.

This watch tracks everything.

Splits, laps, pulse...

All you gotta do now is run fast.

Thanks.

I'll get the plates.

New message

so many possibilities.

Stop running or else...

What's wrong?

Pulled something.

Sucks!

Are you out for long?

Not sure.

You deactivated your Facebook.

Too bad.

It was a waste of time.

Wake up guys! Hurry up!

I forgot my watch. I'll be back.

Distance running today:

5km warm-up followed by

3 times 200m at 80%,

2 recovery laps,

and an 8-lap tempo run at 90%.

Hurry up!

You have to slowly start running again.

Get ready, I'll adjust your training.

I tried running yesterday, it got worse.

If you don't heal quickly, your season's over.

It's not my fault.

Ice it and see me in 3 days.

Going somewhere?

Screw off.

Healed all of a sudden?

What did I do to you?

What?

You're really asking me that?

You join the team,

try to beat me and steal my spot?

Look at me!

Thought I'd let it go?

Thought I'd let it go?

I was always told

whoever works the hardest wins.

I haven't trained my ass off for 4 years

to have a f***ing f*ggot ruin it all!

Lay low until the season ends

or the entire school finds out

you suck big motherfucking c*cks.

We all know how it went down for your ex.

You're home early.

Practice was cancelled.

Too cold for you guys?

Weaklings!

Why would you say that?

Just kidding.

You'll be ready for the track meet?

I'll be ready.

You'll make a good time?

Stop the interrogation!

You're not allowed in my room!

No locked doors in this house!

Your mom and I always made that clear.

Mom isn't here anymore!

Come out!

Dinner's almost ready.

I have to study.

That can wait.

That's enough!

Don't touch me!

I'm not your obedient little b*tch.

Come in.

Hey, you're better!

I'm quitting the team.

Why?

Not interested anymore.

I don't buy it.

I don't care.

Hey, hold on! What's the matter?

If I say I'm not interested, it's 'cause I'm

not.

So leave me the f*** alone!

Wait for me. Just going to the bathroom.

Why won't you come back on the team?

You Sullivan's messenger now?

No one understands what happened.

You just went off the grid.

Why are you avoiding me?

Come back.

I can't.

Why not?

I'm screwed.

Someone's found out about me.

And?

Is he threatening you?

What kind of threats?

Who is it?

Tim! Who is it?

It's Jeff, right?

Don't.

If you can't, I'll deal with him!

Don't...

or everyone will find out.

What are you doing here?

Came to talk.

Can't we do it at school?

Is your father home?

Good evening.

- Good evening.

Can we talk?

Of course.

You quit the team,

you bullshit your coach

and you lie to me?

I don't know what to do anymore.

It's been like this for 5 years.

How can I get through to you?

What's going on?

Listen...

You have a week left to think about it.

After that, it'll be too late for the

Nationals.

I know you can do it.

Now, it's up to you.

Keep me posted.

How are you?

What's up!

Happy to see you!

Us too, man!

Glad you came.

Time to run!

Scared to lose?

You're good!

I couldn't catch up.

How many seconds apart?
