I am.

I can show you.

We can stay here.

Spencer, there's roads

waiting for both of us.

It won't be like this forever.

I love you.

The worst is almost over

and then we'll have perfection.

Look around.

Perfection.

Right?

There's no such thing...

You can't hide from her with me.

Wait.

Wait.

Hey, ten minutes and

fourteen seconds, dude.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

He almost drowned in the sink right there.

- This is not f***ing okay.

- Chill out, he's fine.

We were with him the whole time.

He's not f***ing fine, Nick.

Does he look f***ing fine to you?

He's coughing water all

over the f***ing floor.

Stop, come on, come

on, come on, stop, stop.

I'm fine.

- Did you say ten minutes?

- Hell, yeah, bro.

But I'm not sure it should

count since your ass passed out.

F***ing idiots. Come on, get up.

Well, what do you guys say?

Huh? Huh? Am I in line?

Let's check with the Russian judge.

F*** off, Howie!

It's not funny!

Wow, he was actually mad.

I knew comin' up here was a bad idea.

Yo, what, hey.

What if he really just died right now?

- I'd feel bad about that?

- You-you'd feel bad about that?

You're the master of the

understatement, Howie.

F***!

Hey, man, you really think

he was trying to drown himself?

What the hell is matter with you?

I'm in love.

With something that's fake.

It's fake, it's a figment

of your imagination.

Can't you just...

...see her in your dreams or somethin'?

That's stupid.

No, what's f***in' stupid

is you dunkin' your head

in sinks and having people time you.

That's f***ing stupid.

It's a matter of opinion, man.

Spencer...

...you're scaring me.

You are playing some kind of game with God.

And if you keep going on like this...

...you're never gonna come up.

F***, man, draw a picture of her.

Or write a story, so

that maybe I can meet her

but just-just f***ing stop this.

Stop it.

What is that?

Spencer, you realize there's

people that actually need you...

...right?

What do you want?

I mean you wanna go away?

You wanna leave this place then do it, go.

But don't leave your life, I mean...

...do you hear the way

that kid talks to you?

Yeah.

Good. Hear it.

Because we all feel that way.

We all love you, Spencer.

Now, look me in the eye

and tell me that you're

not gonna disappear.

I'm not gonna disappear.

Don't f*** with me, man, I trust you.

Clink, b*tch.

Hmm. Alright.

You can say that, but what

is his team going to do?

They have no identity. They

have no identity at all.

What I'm concerned about is

really the outfield player.

I mean, if-if he, if he can't get guys...

It doesn't make any sense, Jim.

It doesn't, it doesn't make any sense.

I completely agree with you.

Okay, they-they've got...

Well, that's my point

exactly, Tim, I mean...

Talon-11 Actual,

Eagle-11 Actual

No joy under HVT, he's gone to ground.

Uh, move out the extract

towards Oscar Mike over.

Roger that.

Talon Actual out.

F*** this day.

So when we get back to base,

the next round's on you.

Round's on your mom.

My mom will kick your ass, bro.

Your mom could kiss my ass.

Sh*t!

Eagle-11, Talon Actual, we have

eyes on targets of opportunity.

...we are weapons-free, over

Talon-11, take the shot.

Take the shot.

- F***ing...

- What's the plan, boss?

Eagle-11, let's take it, let's take it.

- Roger that, weapons free.

- 'Weapons free.'

Do not take the shot.

I say again, do not take the shot.

Come on, let's go!

Let's go now!

Talon One is compromised.

Redirect for immediate medevac.

Position... one click south of original.

Let's get him out of here. Let's go.

Let's go. Move it, move it.

Hey, Spencer?

Oh, sh*t.

Toad, Toad, Toad.

Toad, Toad, wake up.

Yo, read this, dude.

Wake up, man, he's out.

He's out, man. It's over, he's discharged.

- Spencer?

- Where are you?

Boy! Spencer!

Yo, where are you? It's time to celebrate.

Yo, where are you, man?

Spence?

Spence?

- Oh, sh*t!

- Spencer!

Man, have you seen Spencer?

Check it out, man, he's done.

He's in the f***ing lake.

Spencer!

Spencer!

No! Let me go! Spencer!

- No, no, stay here.

- Spencer!

Spencer!

Spencer!

Spencer!

F***!

Spencer!

F***, man!

- Spencer!

- Spencer!

Oh, f***! F***!

F***!

Spencer!

I've been working on something for you.

I've been training myself

like the kid did.

This way we could be together forever.

We can't do this anymore.

This has to be goodbye.

What do you want me to do, pretend

I'm in love with someone else?

I want you to stop pretending.

I stopped.

I pretended you were him, but you're not.

I'm becoming him.

Isn't that what you want?

It's not enough.

You see, you see this dress

this, this place...

...none of this belongs to you.

It...

...belongs to him.

I thought I could stop waiting

and find someone else

but it doesn't work that way, Spencer.

But he didn't die.

He went off to find something better.

- Just like me.

- No!

I waited.

I waited and I never got an answer.

I tried to make you into what I needed.

But it's not real.

But I can prove it to you.

I tried to be something else for you.

Just like you're trying to be for me.

But it's a mistake.

I'm not the thing you

needed so badly to want.

Give me my peace, Spencer.

It's the only thing, that'll save us both.

Just...

It's a fresh start when I go under.

You'll see so clearly this is all real.

It's everything we both wanted.

Go!

Spencer!

Somebody call f***ing help!

How the hell did this happen?

How did you let this happen?

What are we supposed to do, Emily?

Huh? What was I supposed to do?

We need to get back out

there, we need to find him.

Ah! He promised me that

he wasn't gonna disappear.

Don't be stupid.

You are such idiots, you let him

jump in the f***ing lake!

I hate this stupid, f***ing lake!

Emily.

Come on, come on.

Ah! Alice, stop the watch.

I know that was my best time yet.

I counted to at least...

What?

Once upon a time...

...or so the story has been told...

...a boy became...

I was born

I was born

I was born

At the hands of the potter

And I was torn

From the start

I was torn

Between my God and my father

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You ready?

Let's go.

I was born

I was born

I was born

At the dawn of our folly

I was young

And stubborn to the bone

As I took from the tree

That was rotting

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I took my chance and went down deep

The weight of the

world was crippling

Now I'll hide my

shame with woven leaves

I was wrong

I was wrong

I was wrong

And I'm so so

And I'm so so sorry

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I was wrong

I was wrong

I was wrong

And I'm so so

And I'm so so sorry

I knew you'd never forgive me

Oh oh oh

I was wrong

I was wrong

And I'm so so

And I'm so so

I'm sorry
