Please, please.

Yeah, no dice.

Keep looking.

You knew that Skye

accused Calvin of rape.

I know that she

accused him of rape

because he raped her.

You know, no offense, detective,

but this case,

the search for

the rapist slayer

might be a waste

of your expertise.

How do you figure?

Well, I didn't know

any of the victims personally,

but from what I hear,

they didn't really sound

like stand-up guys.

Good guys, bad guys,

short, tall--

you break the law,

there's going

to be consequences.

I guess it depends

on which law you break.

Do you know why

your friend Skye

would want to take

her own life?

Can't keep running

from your demons, now can you?

Whispered something

in your ear

hey.

Hi.

I'm really sorry that I didn't

text you back. I've been --

don't worry about it.

I'm sorry about your neighbor.

Thank you.

I've got to go.

Nothing's gonna hurt you,

baby

as long as you're with me,

you'll be just fine

nothing's gonna hurt you,

baby

thank you all for being here

for the unveiling

of the 2016 visual arts

thesis exhibition.

Enjoy yourselves.

Thank you so much.

Hey, how are you?

Thanks.

-You did really good.

-Thank you. So did you.

Thank you.

Kind of retreating

in isolation.

With our sunglasses on

to our favorite songs

nothing's gonna hurt you,

baby

as long as you're with me,

you'll be just fine

nothing's gonna hurt you,

baby

nothing's gonna take you...

Hello, everyone. Hello.

Thank you for coming out

to celebrate this journey

that is culminating into today

for these fine young people.

The mfa visual arts class

of 2016.

It is my great pleasure

to introduce you to a student

who has gone on no less

than a transformation

these last few years.

Soon to be master of fine arts,

Noelle posero.

Knock them dead.

Why art?

One of my earliest memories,

I was painting a sunflower

with my watercolors

and somewhere

in my little-kid brain

I knew that

this perfect sunflower

would shrivel up

and die one day.

But I had the power

to preserve it,

to immortalize

the beauty around me...

...to save it

from the brutality of life.

Leonardo Da Vinci said,

"every painter should begin

with a wash of black

on their canvas,

because everything

in nature is dark

except for where

it's exposed by light."

Perhaps we are conditioned

to begin on a white canvas.

But maybe what we need right now

is to see the water

turning murky,

to see the petals falling.

Maybe it's through art

that we come face to face

with our own darkness

and that's the only way

we can change.

Mfa class of 2016,

i urge you...

Aim not to preserve the beauty,

but to expose the truth.

Dare to make the world

uncomfortable with your honesty

no matter what

the consequence is,

because the world

will be better for it.

You will be better for it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

On behalf

of balboa university,

congratulations to the master

of fine arts class 2016.

You may now move your tassel

from the right side

of your cap to the left.

Noelle. Noelle.

Hey, where you going?

This is it.

The space grows

-congrats.

-Whoo-hoo! You guys did it!

An empire falls

need a remedy for the pain

drift and fall again

drift and fall again

stop right there.

Stop.

Turn around.

Stop. Do not move.

Drop whatever's

in your left hand.

Drop whatever's

in your right hand.

Put your hands

behind your back.

Cover me.

The last light of memory

is hiding from the mind

a lost game

in an endless path

mysterious and wild

drift and fall again

your cold heart is changing

sea waves are raging

beautiful and strange

as we drift and fall again

your cold heart is changing

sea waves are raging

beautiful and strange

as we drift and fall again

drift and fall again

drift and fall again
