know you're here. It's okay.

Don't over exert yourself, Spencer.

We need you, so don't go away now.

Doctor Hartgrove, please

call extension 4408.

Doctor Hartgrove, please

call extension 4408.

How the f*** did we let this happen?

We didn't.

You just don't dwell on it, okay?

Our job right now is to be here.

- That's all we can do.

- No.

Hey, how is he?

He's, he's alive, you

know. I mean that's good.

Where's everybody else?

Well, they're still passed out.

It was a real sh*t show.

Yeah.

Emily! Hey, Em...

Attention please, will the

Garcia family please return

to the ICU.

Garcia family, please return to the ICU.

Hey, Em.

- Is he awake?

- Yeah. Just. Come on in.

We'll wait outside.

They said that your

lungs were full of water.

I was so scared.

Are you okay?

What were you thinking?

How do I know that you

didn't do this on purpose?

Good question.

What?

I can't be here right now.

Spencer, stop it.

Spencer, stop!

- Stop!

- Let me go.

F***!

F***. F***. F***.

F***.

Hi.

Ah!

- You're it.

- Ah!

No, stop, that is not, that is not fair.

Two-person tag that

doesn't even make sense.

It was your idea.

Well, you should stop listening to me.

I'm pretty sure you're the

first woman in the history

of the world to ever say that.

Just kiss me.

Okay, if I have to.

Can we live here?

Don't you maybe, uh, want somewhere

that has, I don't know, a ceiling?

- Some walls?

- No, what for?

We need our own dog.

That's the first thing.

One, two, three, golden retriever.

Golden retriever.

Spencer.

Spencer, look at me.

Hey, hey.

Sir, you can't leave against

medical adviser not signing...

- Where you going?

- Excuse me.

I can't be here anymore,

I have things to do.

What things?

Wait-wait-wait, take it easy.

Calm down. You wanna get outta here?

Let's go, I'll go with you.

Hey, Spencer?

Spencer. Spencer.

What the f*** happened last night?

I killed that girl, man. She was with me.

No one knows she was there, do they?

No man, you zipped off alone last night.

I think you might be a

little loopy right now.

This is exactly what I need.

She wasn't with you, man

so don't beat yourself up about it... okay?

You were a little tipsy, you

were high on f***in' adrenaline.

The crash messed with your

memory stick, that's all.

- Do you have her number?

- There are no coincidences.

That's what I've learned.

She found this book at the party.

It was in the library and she recited

every f***ing word of it from memory.

Holy Grail.

Destiny kinda sh*t.

I don't know what you're

talkin' about, man.

Look, I'll-I'll go check at the lake.

I need you to help me maximize

my extended breath-hold.

I'm out of practice.

Hold this.

Spencer, what is going on with you, man?

Press start when I go under.

Spencer!

Spencer! Spencer!

Okay.

Peanut butter... or...

...peanut butter and jelly?

How do you eat a peanut butter sandwich?

Doesn't it stick to your mouth?

I like it.

This jelly is so slimy.

- You're slimy.

- You're slimy.

No, you literally kinda slimy.

No. No!

- We should make a toast.

- What to?

I don't know. You do it.

To long life.

Is that supposed to be ironic?

Okay. Uh, to peace on Earth.

You're boring.

Fine, I don't know.

- To b*obs.

- B*obs?

Well, I guess that's something.

Clink.

Hey, hey.

Breathe.

- What was my time?

- F*** you, man. F***.

You have to stop it when

I come out of the water!

Goddammit!

What the f***?

What the f***in' hell, stuntman.

Yeah, think of all the

times we could have like...

Halloween?

I really don't recall that night.

Well, dude, you were driving.

Well, if you remember it so well

why weren't you drivin'?

I'll punch you in the liver.

Are his parents home? Like,

maybe we should go in to garage.

The whole point was for

us to wait for him here.

Yeah, but if we're smokin',

then maybe we shouldn't do

that in a seedy alley, genius.

Cops patrol back here.

Would you at least grow a right nut, Paul?

Don't have to go for

both, I know that's a lot

to ask from you, but just

invest in half the package...

- Jesus Christ!

- Uh, come on.

You're like the f***in'

seed of Chucky, man.

You know, Toad's been callin' me.

What the f*** is going on?

Uh, we saw it all. It's fine, okay?

Look, they pulled the car

out, there was no one in there

she couldn't have been with him.

- Well, how can you be so sure?

- I swear on my life, man.

We just came from there.

Well... then where is she?

Look, we saw him leave, we

didn't see her leave, okay?

What do you think, they had like

a secret rendezvous point or somethin'?

Calm down. It's nothin' to worry about.

Toad said that Spencer said...

Consider tangible evidence

versus the f***ed up

post-accident mind of your hero, okay?

He's not working on a practical level.

Don't get on an edge about it.

No, not an edge, I'm

tryin' to figure out...

Chill out, bro, okay?

I'm done with the conspiracy theories.

Let's get some tunes goin'.

Oh, you have to kill me.

- What... cops?

- Uh, girlfriend.

Oh! Crap, hide.

- Let's hide.

- Where do you wanna hide?

What, the glove compartment or somethin'?

- Hey, you guys, come on.

- Alright.

Oh. Hey.

- Hey, guys.

- Hey.

Hey, Emily.

We didn't even see you there.

He's not with you?

Uh, no, uh, we're waiting

for him, he's still with Toad.

He told you to say that?

- No.

- No, it's true.

Why did you guys leave

him alone last night?

We didn't.

Ask Cooper, he'll tell you all about Alice.

You, idiot.

That's not a thing. I don't know

what I'm talking about. I'm...

I'm kidding. Cooper's such a nut.

Who's Alice?

Look, Em, we don't wanna

get in the middle of this?

Too late now, Cooper.

- How you doin', Em?

- Who's Alice?

I'm gonna take off with these guys.

Hey, what's up? Everything alright?

- No, not really.

- What happened at the lake?

Yeah, we checked it out. Took

a look around. She's not there.

That's not what Spencer was saying to me.

Spencer.

Okay, I just need to say this.

I've been thinking, and I

can't pretend like I'm not angry

and you need to understand that

I have every right to be angry.

I wanna give you whatever

space it is that you're needing

but I also wanna be there for you

because you clearly cannot

be here for yourself.

So let's just start with you doing

a much better job of talking to me.

What are you doing?

I broke my record.

Are you even listening to me?

Most of the time.

Spencer, I'm trying to tell

you that I think you need help.

Yes, will you time me?

Who's Alice?

Where did you meet her?

- At work.

- When?

I don't know, what's the day.

Did you know her before

you broke up with me?

- I didn't break up with you.

- God, God, don't say that.

It makes it worse.

- Did you know her?

- Yes.

- Did you sleep with her?

- Em...

Don't act like it's not

an important question.

I didn't say no. Can't you just...

Can't you just what?

Figure it out, stupid girlfriend

or sometimes-girlfriend

or whatever it is that I am?
