High School (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Freedom - full transcript
Is there anything
you want to talk about?
I feel like I want to help you,
but I don't know what to do.
I'm fine.
We used to be really tight
and then over the summer,
she totally disappeared.
What will happen
if you stop waiting?
I don't know. I mean,
she's my sister.
- There's a rave on Saturday.
- Wait Calgary has raves?
Oh, yeah,
and we're going.
What about you?
Are you dating anyone?
Oh, shit.
The last thing I need is to be
used and manipulated by you two.
My God. Mom, relax.
Get out of the goddamn car!
Hi, Dad. Can we come in?
Smash
hits of the '80s...
What brings you here?
Mom's pissed at us because
we went out and didn't tell her.
Why didn't you tell her?
- Because we went to a rave...
- Tegan...
and we knew that she
wouldn't let us go...
- Shut up.
- So we told her
- we were staying at a friend's house.
- Oh, my God. Great job.
We're busted, what do you
want me to do? Keep lying?
You're the reason this is
happening. You wanted to go...
- I didn't force you to go...
- Hey!
Whether you like it or not,
you're stuck with each other...
so you gotta figure
out how to get along
because I'm not gonna have
any fighting in this house,
do you understand?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
Good.
Go to bed.
We could've
gotten out of it.
You didn't have to rat us out.
If we kept lying, it
would've made it worse.
The only reason that I went tonight
is because you've been so upset lately
and this was the first thing
that you seemed excited about.
I don't even care that we got in trouble
but you being mad at me isn't fair.
I'm not an idiot, but
last night you treated me like one.
- We're sorry.
- I don't need an "I'm sorry."
I need to know why you lied.
Hello? Your mom
just asked you a question.
Well, we just really wanted to go,
but we knew that you would say no.
Even though raves are really safe.
They don't even serve alcohol there.
- People just go there to dance.
- Oh, that sounds great.
Maybe you should have shared
that information with me
before you decided to lie.
Would have been a good way to avoid
getting grounded, which you are now.
You will not leave this
house for anything other than school.
I'm supposed to
meet up with Phoebe.
This is not my problem.
You are not allowed to use the
phone unless you're calling 911.
And you need to
spend every waking...
Look at me!
Every waking moment doing chores
until I decide it's enough.
Starting today.
We'll be at the
new place all-day,
and you two will take down
the Christmas decorations
and go downstairs and clean
and organize the basement.
Any objections?
- We...
- Just kidding, I don't care.
Tegan, come in here.
What are you doing?
We're not supposed to
touch Patrick's stuff.
Look.
Whoa.
Did you know he had this?
No.
- Careful.
- I know.
Can I try?
What does that
sound like to you?
- I can't tell.
- "Today."
Smashing Pumpkins?
Oh.
Yeah! Play it again.
Shit, they're home.
I'll stall them.
Put it back in there.
Wait, your mom kicked you out
of the car in the middle of the night?
Yup.
So, she was fine with you
maybe being kidnapped or murdered
- just because you lied?
- Basically.
Damn. Parents are messed up.
Sorry you got grounded.
The only thing that really sucks is not
getting to hang out with you as much.
Yeah, but on the flipside, it makes school
something I'll actually look forward to.
- What's wrong?
- I'm sick.
My throat hurts, and I
think I have a fever.
Hmm. You don't feel that warm.
I'm not faking it.
I feel terrible.
Maybe it's from being
at a rave all night.
Or maybe it's because someone
made me walk to my dad's house
in the middle of the night
in the freezing cold?
Fine. If you're staying
home, then you have to rest.
- It isn't a free for all.
- Okay.
What's going on in here?
- Your sister is sick supposedly.
- I am sick.
So, you're
staying home from school?
Yeah.
Can I wear your shoes?
Sure, but if anything happens
to them, I will murder you.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Are you really sick?
Yeah. But I feel
a little better.
That's good.
What'd you do all day?
Nothing.
I slept.
Watched TV.
Did anybody ask
about me at school?
No one even noticed
you were gone.
Oh.
From Maya.
Jerk.
I'm going downstairs.
Leave the shoes.
"Greetings.
I just found out
you're home sick,
and since you're not
allowed to call me,
I'm taking it upon myself
to document every single
thing that happens today
so you don't miss anything."
Well, I hope
you had fun last night,
because we're about to
be grounded forever.
I don't even
want to look down here
because it's gonna be,
yeah, an absolute disaster.
So, you guys will
have plenty to do.
When we're done, is she gonna
stop being pissed at us?
I don't know.
You know, this probably hard for
you to wrap your heads around,
but she has feelings.
You know that, right?
You hurt her.
I'm ready.
Hello?
Hi, is Phoebe there?
Who's speaking?
It's Sara.
Sorry,
sweetie, she's out.
Oh, okay.
Uh, we were... we were
supposed to hang out today,
but I had to help my
mom with something.
Could you just let her know?
Hello?
Yeah. I'll...
I'll let her know.
Goodbye.
What does that
sound like to you?
I can't tell.
"Today?"
Smashing Pumpkins?
Oh.
Yeah!
Play it again.
Oh, shit, they're home.
I'll stall them.
Hey! How's the house?
Coming along well, I think.
Your mom picked out some
great flooring today,
and the tile we wanted is back
in stock and, you know what?
I am now realizing that this is
probably much a longer answer
than you were hoping for.
Are you kidding? I love tile.
Where is your sister?
Just finishing up downstairs.
Did you guys finish cleaning up?
Yup.
I'm going to
check on your handiwork.
Hey, I just... I
wanted to say that
it was my idea to
go to the rave.
And Tegan didn't want to go,
but I talked her into it.
She shouldn't be in trouble.
Uh, she made her own decision.
Hey!
Hi.
What are you doing?
I'm just getting some
water. Do you want some?
No, I'm good.
What's going on in here?
Your sister is sick, supposedly.
I am sick.
So you're staying
home from school?
- Yeah.
- Can I wear your shoes?
Sure.
But if anything happens to
them, I will murder you.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Come
on, I'm driving you.
Tell Maya I said hi.
Okay.
And protect the shoes.
Got it!
I'm really sorry, Mom.
Yeah, you said that already.
We messed up, okay?
How long are you going
to punish us for?
When your first
instinct isn't to lie?
Maybe if you trusted us more,
we wouldn't have
a reason to lie.
I think you're a little
fuzzy on how trust works.
You just don't like
being in trouble.
You don't really care
how you make people feel.
That's not true. I feel bad
that we made you feel bad.
But you making us feel worse
about it isn't fixing anything.
At least I want us
all to feel better.
Hey, Maya!
Tegan is home sick from school
today. She wanted me to tell you hi.
Oh, man.
We've been tracking some
very low stakes dramas
that she's totally
gonna get behind on.
I'm sure you can catch her up.
I'll give it my
most valiant effort.
Hey!
Is Tegan still mad at me for
making us go to that rave?
She hasn't said anything.
But I don't think she could ever
be mad at you, even though...
Even though what?
Nothing.
Hey, don't leave school
today without seeing me.
I'm gonna give you
something to give to Tegan.
Hang on.
Come in.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Were you just playing guitar?
Yeah.
What was it?
Just this song that
was in my head all day.
A song that you wrote?
Can I hear it?
Is it bad?
It's awesome.
Teach me how to play it.
This new song is
driving me crazy.
- I can't figure out the chorus.
- Let's work on it together
- after school today.
- There she is!
Hi.
- I missed you!
- Me too.
- Did you get my letter?
- Yes.
And I read it like five times.
I can't believe it,
Tyler and Kelly?
- Yeah.
- Gross.
Sara, I'll see you later.
That's all I have.
It's so good!
You know Billie Joe's guitar
part in "Basket Case"?
Yeah.
That's kind of what I want
the chorus to sound like.
Like...
Should I get it?
I don't really care who it is.
Me neither.
Can I see it?
Oh, yeah.
Play the chorus again.
What's going on?
Where did you get
the guitar from?
It's Patrick's.
Did you ask if you could use it?
No.
Hey, Patrick? Can
you come in here?
Yeah, one sec.
What's up?
Uh, the girls found
your secret guitar
that not even I knew you had.
I totally forgot
about that thing.
We're sorry we
didn't ask to use it.
We were just messing
around, playing songs.
How do you
even know how to play?
I don't really know.
We just kinda do.
All right. Show us.
- Now?
- Yeah.
Do you have any more?
I know you liked
being more than friends,
didn't you?
Hey, where
are you going?
Why are you being like this?
You should go back
to your adoring fans.
you want to talk about?
I feel like I want to help you,
but I don't know what to do.
I'm fine.
We used to be really tight
