What's goin' on?

Next light is green!

Faster!

No! No, no, no!

Green!

We're doin' this, Vee!

Sixty seconds.

- Are we clear now?

- Still clear.

Taxi! Taxi!

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh, god.

Take it home, Vee!

Take it home, Vee!

Yeah, Vee!

Time check.

Fifteen seconds.

Speed?

Forty-five, 46,

47...

Ian, we love you!

Love you, too!

All right, let's go!

Fifty-seven,

58, 59,

60!

We did it!

Oh, sh*t!

Look out!

Hold on! God, oh, my god!

Look out!

Yeah!

Best dare ever!

Vee is number one!

Oh, my god.

That was the craziest thing I've ever done.

You were incredible.

I can't even believe

we did that.

She kissed him!

Oh, Vee!

Get him, girl!

Oh, yeah!

You hungry at all?

Pizza?

Pizza...

I swear,

I was gonna say, "pizza."

Hey, watchers.

Okay, listen,

you and I both know

that I should be in that box.

So please,

stop holding back. Okay?

You guys don't need to be

afraid, because I'm not afraid.

So just give me a real dare.

What's up, Syd baby?

What are you doing here?

You're a good player.

You've got a lot of watchers.

I got a lot of watchers.

Maybe we could team up.

I don't need a partner.

Seems to work

for your friend Vee.

What up, Syd?

You all right?

Yeah. We're just talking.

Yo, mad Max, why don't you

show yourself out, man?

Call me.

Break down!

Captain.

Party on, man.

Hey, Nancy.

Tommy, listen,

I have a quick question.

How would I know

if I'm being hacked?

What do you mean?

Hacked. Somebody's been

depositing money

into my account

under Vee's name.

That doesn't sound like a hack.

Normally,

they would take money out

if they were hacking you.

Thomas, what are you

not telling me?

Oh! It must... it might be...

Vee got a job.

What? A job?

Yeah, that's probably it.

She did an online poker thing.

Okay.

And she's really great at it.

Is it legal?

Yeah, it's legal.

And she's doing great,

as you can tell

with the deposits.

But anyway, I gotta go.

I'm writing a paper right now

on motorcycle safety.

I'm gonna get goin', but...

Well, tell her to call me.

Bye.

Bye.

Wanna take a ride?

Is this a dare?

Mmm-mmm. It's a carousel.

So, why are you playing nerve?

Trying to help out my family.

Some things happened that I

wish turned out differently.

Like what?

This is just kinda

something I need to do.

So...

We got some paparazzi.

Hide.

What? Who is it?

So that's Sydney.

- Pick up, pick up.

- You gonna get it?

I don't wanna deal

with her right now.

Ouch!

What's goin' on?

She's just been a lot recently.

But whatever, you don't

wanna talk about that.

If you wanna talk about it,

I'm here. Happy to listen.

I'm just tired of being

her sidekick all the time.

It's funny. You don't

seem like anyone's sidekick.

Can I see that picture again?

Oh, uh...

Sure.

Wow.

Yeah.

Guys go crazy for her.

No, I mean the picture itself.

It's really good.

Thanks, I took it.

Yeah? You have a good eye.

I just... I can't picture you

hangin' out with someone like this.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

She looks kind of...

Insecure. Is that mean?

She is totally insecure.

Yeah?

She makes it seem like

I'm the one who's insecure.

But really it's her.

It's exhausting.

I'm sure.

She's at this party.

Most likely drunk and needs me

to hold her hair back.

I'm just over it.

I mean, so are her parents.

They're constantly out of town,

so she has this

revolving door of guys over.

It's sad, actually.

Hey, that party.

Should we maybe go check it out?

What?

Why would I wanna go

to that party?

Maybe show off your new tattoo?

Show Sydney that you're not the

person she thinks you are?

Yo, watch out!

Heads up. Comin' through.

Yo, watch out.

Heads up. Yo!

Okay.

I got this. Okay.

Go, Sydney!

You're better than this.

Come on, just turn around.

Come on, Syd, you got this.

Come on, Syd, you started

it, you gotta finish it.

Come on, you got it.

You got it!

Okay.

Just take a deep breath.

Just take a deep breath, Sydney.

Get in here!

She's gonna do it!

Go, girl!

You got this. Okay.

- There you go. Come on.

- Yeah, there you go!

There you go.

Somebody, go get Liv!

Oh, my god.

Come on, Syd.

Focus. You got this.

Liv! Liv!

Liv, Liv, Liv, come, come, come.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Oh, my god. Syd!

Be careful.

Be careful, Syd.

What are you doing?

Oh, my god!

Come on, Syd, you don't

have to do this. Come back.

Shut up!

Sydney, come back.

Oh, my god, Sydney!

Yeah! There you go.

Right here. Come on.

You don't have to do it.

Take your time, Syd.

Don't look down.

It's just a stupid game!

Come on, we're right here.

You could always turn back, Syd.

JP, grab her.

Come on, you gotta film.

Sydney, it's not gonna

count unless you film it.

Don't worry about the phone.

She has to film it!

She can't...

It doesn't count unless she films it.

She has to film it.

Just bail.

Just come back.

She has to film it.

No, but she has to film it.

Shut up, Chuck!

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

This is crazy.

All right, there you go.

Don't look down.

I can't!

Oh, my god, I can't, I can't!

Sydney, you gotta get up.

You gotta do something.

Stop yelling at me!

- Stop! You're not helping.

- Chuck, shut up!

Shut up, she's got it.

She has to get it done!

Shut up!

Syd, it's gonna take too long,

you gotta stand, you gotta walk.

No, don't stand, Sydney.

Shut up! Shut up, Chuck!

You heard her, Chuck, shut up.

She's gotta get it done.

She's not gonna get here in time

unless you get up and walk.

You have to walk.

Don't listen to him,

Syd, you got it.

She has to!

She's wasting time!

Shut up, both of you!

You got it.

Come on, Syd, you got this.

I can't, I can't, I can't.

I bail, I bail, I bail.

You bail.

You fail.

You fail.

This is so dumb.

Come here! Hold on!

You fail.

Get over here!

Oh, my god.

Oh! Look at these guys!

Vee!

- Hi.

- Hi!

Oh, my gosh. You guys

are so famous right now.

Uh-oh!

Wait until Syd sees you.

But where is she?

Oh, you guys don't know?

Yeah, she tried to walk across

that ladder and just bailed.

So she's outta the game?

Hey, let's get a drink.

Yeah. It wasn't pretty.

Have you seen Sydney?

In there.

Syd?

Oh, come on, Vee,

you never even spoke to him.

It's fine.

Certainly, no surprise.

Yeah, I know

it's not a surprise.

You know

what's not fine, though?

I almost died tonight, Vee, and

you were nowhere to be found.

I'm sorry.

When you said

I should live my life,

did you mean I should

live my life in your shadow?

I was just trying

to help you, Vee,

because you're the most

repressed person that I know.

Well, isn't that why

you keep me around?

Because I never

tell you the truth?

Yeah.

Come on, let's go.

I guess you don't

tell me the truth.

Because you never told me

about how insecure I am.

Or about how I just have a revolving

door of guys all the time.

You never tell me that, but you've

told everyone that tonight.

So please, Vee, go right

ahead and show us all

what a fiery little spark plug

you've become since lunch.
