- [Alarm] Front door open.

(door creaks)

- Hey, I just got back to the house,

(indistinct)

(ominous music continues)

(alarm beeps)

- [Alarm] Back door open.

(upbeat music)

You don't know my name

Notice me

See me, here I am

Look at me, make you notice

Screaming from my lungs to get to you

See me, here I am, look at me

Guys, drive me crazy 'cause they lazy

There's a privilege, they don't see sl*very

Not a hater, not a sexist

I'm just questioning guys and their motives

Things they're doing for themselves

And the name too

Yeah, they reach out to men

What's the truth, bro

Where's the

Take my advice, are you feminist, there's that

Do whatever, say whatever

To be seen, to be heard, to be clever

Shh, let me speak, boy

You didn't let me finish my sentence

And this is the problem

You don't know my name

Notice me

See me, here I am, look at me

Make you notice

Screaming from my lungs to get to you

See me here I am, look at me

Imma preach now, got a speech now

So sit down, be quiet while I teach ya

How to listen, a whole wisdom

Don't open your mouth until I give you permission

How about you instead of taking space

Start making space

Give back what you got

Leave your seat, save a spot

For someone you proudly say you care for

This is the problem with your tendencies

Keep telling me you are feminist

But you still wanna benefit from women working

But they never get paid

I'm sure you make sure you gonna get laid

Ain't gonna work, boy

No guys

Ain't gonna work, boy

f*ck this feminist guys

Say you wanna work boy

Please just take my advice

Step back, sit down, shut up

You don't know my name

Notice me

See me, here I am

Look at me

Make you notice

Screaming from my lungs to get to you

See me, here I am

Look at me

Ain't gonna work, boy

No guys

Ain't gonna work, boy

f*ck this feminist guys

Say you wanna work, boy

Please just take my advice

Step back, sit down, shut up

You don't know my name

Notice me

See me, here I am

Look at me

Make you notice

Screaming from my lungs to get to you

See me, here I am

Look at me, notice me

See me, here I am

(alarm beeps)

- [Alarm] Back door open.

(ominous music)

(lock clicks)

So you think what we have is a brand new start

But we're good as dead before tomorrow comes

Only things that we got to glue this sh*t up

Is your toxic attitude and that nice big

So you picked up, I left

Look how fast I forget

Got me jewels, shaved my pet

I like to call her Beck

Now my p*ssy feel rich just like Beckham Palace

Now that you're gone, I got no duties on my list

When you get hungry, that's when you come closer

Bottle my milk, mum This is time for closure

You want what you want, now that must be awful

But please pull up your pants, no offense

Won't be dancing in rice

I'm not telling you twice

Noting you can do to make things right

I'm a Gemini

I'm a Gemini

With my Gemini rights

I'm a Gemini

I'm a gem

With my Gemini rights

Sitting all alone on your crack back

Hoping for some cash back

to bargain off the flesh light

Dave, Stu all day lacking talent

But you got your parents

So proud of how you manage the day

Everybody lonely in this g*dd*mn city

g*dd*mn city got me pity all the pretty

So I'm getting high in a room full of hippies

g*dd*mn hippies

We got no rules

Only Gemini rights

(water rushing)

(upbeat music)

(ominous music)

(footsteps pattering)

(ominous music continues)

- [Alarm] Front door open.

(door slams)

- 10 years, we have won best feature film.

Heck, during that 10 years,

we probably swept the entire season and categories.

Then three years ago it all stopped.

Now what happened three years ago?

- Budget cuts, tuition hikes.

The rise of the Cheeto, low student enrollment,

the brand new fancy a*s multimedia facility over-

- All right, enough,

The thing that happened was we hired you.

I never wanted to hire you,

but the board felt that after losing Juan Santiago

to West Hill community

and their new multimillion dollar facility,

we should hire you, the runner up

at some podunk film festival in Utah.

And a letter of recommendation

from the film world's biggest Oscar winning hermit.

I had Dr. Marigold O'Malley, the BAFTA winning genius.

The only woman who refused

a knighthood from the Queen

because she didn't wanna be

in the same room as J.K. Rowling.

You know where this program could be?

Eh, save it.

This year, I have the board on my side.

You will bring us a win

or you will no longer be

employed by this institution.

Who have you chosen for

this year's creator and director?

- Well, this year,

I have the most influential director of our time,

Oscar J Evans.

- I'll have to see if our

college can afford the insurance

of having a train wreck of a director like that

as a professor on this campus.

- Oh, but he doesn't have to be a professor.

The rules state that as long

as there is an accredited

educational professional

overseeing the program, anyone can direct.

- Well, will he even do it though?

He hasn't been seen since The Chosen

and that whole serial k*ller ordeal.

God, those were dark days.

You know I used to be the house manager

at Trillberry Players back in the day.

Anyway, if you want OJ on the loose,

that's your decision.

It's not my a*s on the line.

Anyway, I forgot to mention

that I gave up your classroom

to the varsity eSports team as their lounge.

Look like they're gonna be pretty good.

They may even get a gold controller

so you can float classrooms this semester.

(phone rings)

Now get outta here.

You loser energy is infecting my office.

Hello?

What's that dude's name?

I can't remember his name.

Hold on, hold on. Stay there.

Oscar J Evans.

(upbeat music)

- You can really chase the Trill in this beer.

- I don't think they use real Trillberry.

- Really? You think they went artificial?

- Yeah, I think they used that beaver a**l gland stuff.

- Oh, I've had that before. It's not too bad.

- It tastes better than you.

- Does he have to do that right now?

Is this really necessary?

- Is anything really necessary?

Plus, now that he's back in school,

he has less time to clean.

- Does anybody not see a problem with this?

- I gave my childhood for you and America's enjoyment.

So what does a child prodigy do in his adulthood

except enjoy his childhood?

You missed a spot.

- You know I was in that show too.

- Who was the star of that show?

Not Jerry the pudgy. It was OJ Evans, baby.

And who in this room has three Oscars?

- Three Oscars. You sold two of 'em to pay for this.

- You know what's crazy?

The dean of the school talking about diversity

and only scheduling one

ethnic studies class, literally one.

I thought this was the year I

didn't have to work at Tito's.

- Ah, but who would bring easy, tasty burritos?

- Okay, burrito king, you're gonna help me

with the project or not?

- Oh, please, Oscar J Evans, make my 10 years

of school worth nothing by teaching film

at the world's crappiest college.

- Guest directing, not teaching.

And I'm sure you've come up with something

in your 15 year hiatus.

- I've come up with a lot of things,

but nothing anyone deserves to see.

- Hey Elliot, how much does he pay you per week?

- About 500.

- About 500 a week.

I only see one more Oscar left over there, buddy.

- How much does this gig pay again?

- Enough to keep him happy.

I'll see you Monday.

- He is on a white privilege.

- I'm working at a burrito place to feed my cats.

My cats hate Mexican rights.

- What up, b*tch?

- Exposition sucks, but it is necessary.

That is Selena.

She's been my ride or die ever since we were

in the same catechism class.

Her parents are making her

take community college courses

before we go away.

But let's be honest,

our parents didn't save enough money early on

and now they're damaging

our educational aspirations

because of it.

I don't even think they actually even want us

to get our degrees.

I think they're hoping

that we'll change our mind once we realize

how poor we're gonna be.

But just look at her.

No, I mean it. Really look at her.

She is a fearless l*sbian champion.

That there, that is the thirst trap of this movie.

- Yo. Not cool.

- No, seriously.

I mean, Ryland's been my

confusion ever since second grade.

I mean, one day he looked at me

and then bam, I was bisexual

or at least maybe.

Honestly, I'm not even really sure.

I mean, technically I-

(bed creaks)

- Virgin, come on.

Can't be late to intro to film

or whatever stupid class you convince me to take.

- There's nothing wrong with being a virgin.

- f*ck yeah, there is.

So excited for this story, right?

- You're not even into girls.

- Can't be drunk enough.

- Not cool.

Come on, let's go.

- Hey Cameron, (bottle rattling)

want some courage?

- Ryland, you know he doesn't drink.

(upbeat music)

- Teach at a community college, they say.

Come direct a movie, they say.

Well, what the f*ck am I gonna direct?

- Excuse me, sir. Can't be smoking that over here.

Excuse me, sir. Can't be smoking that over here.

- Do you know the f*ck I am?

- It don't matter.

- I

am f*cking O.J. Evans.

Put it somewhere nice.

- Intro to Smartphone Filmmaking and...

A four hour class?

What the f*ck, Cameron?

Four hours. What is this class anyways?

- It's a double class because of the lab.

We're gonna sh**t films on our phone

and then enter them into film festivals.

- I already know how to sh**t films with my phone.

Honestly thought my phone would be going

off nonstop by now.

I hear the bathrooms here are topnotch.

- We all know you were the first to break them in.

Okay, I have to go.

- What other classes are you taking?

- Ethics studies and erosion of equity.

The teacher is a legit activist.

- Hey Cameron, you want to go break into new bathrooms?

- [Selena] And there he is.

- Shut up. It's the first day.

And you can say that I'm crazy

That you're thinking I'm ready

But I'm telling you baby

Get up and get out Get up and get out

Get up and get out

Get up and get out

Get up and get out

Get up and get out

- I haven't seen Angel since I

f*cked his boyfriend at prom.

I think he's still mad at me.

- Okay, if this movie had a budget, we'd flash back

to prom, but we don't.

So instead, I'll spill the tea

while you watch this video

of Ryland in his underwear eating some chocolate.

It's senior prom

and Selena and Ryland and I decide to go together

as the three musketeers that we are.

Ryland insisted on flying solo since it's better

for his ability to scour the field.

I swear, with the invention of

prep came the second coming

of the sexual revolution.

But I mean, look at him.

God, he even makes chocolate looks like a sin.

- Your generation is really ugly in person.

- Okay, for anyone who doesn't know who this is-

- Please, if you're a founder, you know who this is.

- I thought that was you.

I couldn't tell without the touch ups.

- [Ryland] f*ck, he's hot.

- You're sick. He's like 50.

- It'd be hotter if he was but he's like 30 something.

Just old enough to be your older brother

from your dad's first marriage

like King Gold.

- I'm assuming since our

guest director's an Oscar winner,

we're no longer writing

our own q*eer justice scripts

and we'll be focusing on his.

- His film is considered the most

avant-garde art film ever to win.

- Let's not pretend these powder puffs know what art is.

- You can't smoke in here.

- You can't smoke in here.

- I have severe asthma and I'm allergic.

- Any more fake allergies?

Like what? You're allergic to celery?

You know what? Never mind.

You look like you would be allergic to water.

- So what's this film about? Are we gonna sh**t on a RED?

I've always wanted to sh**t on a RED.

- The class says smartphone in its title.

Is a RED a smartphone?

And as for story, you will know the story

when you deserve to know.

And you, the one writing like you're in a courtroom,

what's your name?

- Cameron.

- Of course it is.

You're my first AD.

And before you say anything, I didn't give him the job

because he is a man.

With his soft features and plaid,

I thought he was a l*sbian.

Give Cameron your interest

and he'll tell you what you're gonna be doing.

And Cameron, you'll get my number from Jerry.

We can work everything else out.

See you all in the next class.

- Just call me Ishmael.

- I don't think he's actually read that book

or even seen the movie.

When we were 12, he found porn

on his dad's laptop, Moby Dicked It.

It inspired him for three months

and of course I got the blow by blow

of the best movie he's ever seen.

We definitely have way

different tastes in men and film.

- m*therf*cking lighter in none of them.

What the f*ck is going on?

(lighter clicks)

(Oscar coughs)

- Can I hit it?

- This might be a little strong

for your level of experience.

Go ahead.

- Don't confuse age with experience.

See you around, teacher.

I can't believe you've never seen The Closet.

It was my spank bank film in high school.

- How old was he when he made this?

- He was like 17 or something.

They went to like Italy

or some sex positive Euro country to film.

- I can't believe they're allowing him to teach.

Has he done anything since?

- Get this, he wins three Oscars for this film

and then he comes back here

and just disappears, completely gone,

became a full on hermit.

Zoom was made for this guy.

You know, the only reason I know that is

because I hooked up with one guy who worked for him.

He had my dream job.

Basically just lived with him,

working in his briefs, cleaning.

Besides the cleaning, I'm perfect.

- The dreams of a true gold digger.

- Except he would be the one doing the drilling.

Wow, this app is just turning into a guess who game.

Like seriously, just add a face pic.

You think you can drive me

to base gym so I can hit the steamer?

Hi, little fella.

(upbeat music)

- So did I strike any inspiration?

Gimme some of that.

I think I'm gonna join your class.

Remember when we met and I had that acting coach?

- What are you talking about?

- That night you said I could be a star,

that I had the look and the talent?

So am I gonna be your muse and star in your film?

- Whatever you want, baby.

- [Doug] Rise and shine and give Doug a big huggy huggy.

- That's my father, Doug.

- I thought you were watching the Closet.

It's a great movie.

I think it might've actually been one

of the very last big date night films

that your mom and I ever saw together.

Don't confuse age with experience.

Great line.

Oh, here I made you the special

clown pancakes this morning.

- Story Time. So my mom died when I was six months old.

She was an only child and dr*fter

that my dad fell madly in love with.

I was born in 2000.

That was the same year Trillberry

had its first serial k*ller,

Mophet the Prophet clown.

My mom was his last victim.

She was at Kmart looking at

new baby costumes for Halloween.

That was the last time anyone ever saw her.

The police still can't connect

her disappearance to Mophet.

But my dad and I know that she has to be one

of his missing victims.

So why the clown pancakes? Trauma.

When I was in fourth grade, I went to Ryland's

for a sleepover when my dad was on a business trip

and that's when Mophet struck again.

This time, some guy in a play

at a local community college.

For weeks, I was terrified he'd be coming

for me like he did my mom.

I wouldn't go to school.

Hell, I wouldn't go anywhere.

That is until the police made a raid

on Kirk LePitre's house.

The cop shot and k*lled him.

They claim he came at them with a knife.

My dad told me.

As soon as he found out, he said,

"They caught the bad man, son."

Now we'll eat your fear away

by making this clown disappear

and you will forget about Mophet and your mother.

"We're almost there, Cameron. No more Mophet."

Thanks, Dad.

I just think I'm getting a bit

too old for clown pancakes.

- Oh, we are never too old to face our fears, son.

But I do wanna ask you, what is the sudden fascination

with early 2000s g*y cinema?

- [Cameron] Oh, the guy who made it is a guest director

in one of the classes I'm taking.

- No way. Oh my God.

I want you to slide into his DMs

and get his graph from me off of his gram, okay, please.

- Dad, I have to get ready for work.

Movie theater's gonna be swamped tonight.

Another one of those fantasy book films came out.

So I'm gonna be swamped with lions, wizards

and sexy maidens.

- Well, I wouldn't want those sexy maidens

or those wizards to have to wait or anything.

Or whatever it is that your wand desires.

(water rushing)

- I want you.

You're dirty and I like that

When no one else can see

You're dirty and I like that

When it's just you and me

You're dirty and I like that

When no one else can see

You're dirty and I like that

- (indistinct)

Call me daddy.

I love Oscar colada Saturdays.

The breeze of the island, the mist.

- So what's your idea?

- Huh, good luck trying to get it out of him.

He wouldn't even tell me when I did something.

- No, God stop. No one needs to hear that.

I forgot how much of a prude you are.

- This is coming from the guy who just went outside

for the first time in what, two years?

- I go outside but only for what's worth it.

- Come on, tell us. What's your comeback?

- [Jerry] Yeah, you've gotta have something, right?

Carmelo? What's this?

- This is something I came up with after "The Closet."

It's about Carmelo Perez and Hope Alvarez.

(Oscar coughs)

- Only he can make me better.

It is not sad time, but can you?

It is on a mother.

- Too ethnic.

- Yeah, that's why it'll never get made.

Don't let Eryka hear you saying that.

You're gonna be stuck in her sensitivity class

from this Saturday for the rest of your life.

- What's the point?

- You're right. You people will never change.

- Let's watch that new show

everyone's been talking about.

- Oh, I feel like there's a new sex drama

on those streaming services every week.

What's this one about?

- This one's about some theater guy

except he's a coke dealer and a...

- Raging sex addict,

like if he was 10 years older.

- So it just came out?

- Yeah, you have to start it.

Where's Cameron?

- He had to call his dad on his walk.

Wouldn't wanna go missing like his mom.

- Ouch.

- l*sbian's can be catty too.

- Makes sense with all that p*ssy.

Hello? Dude, where are you?

- I'm walking home.

Oh by the way, I got a call from Oscar's assistant

and we got invited to Oscar's brainstorming party.

- We just got invited to Oscar's brainstorming party.

- Put him on speaker.

- [Cameron] So what are you guys doing?

- We're waiting for you to smoke.

So is this an all class thing?

- I don't think so.

He just told me to bring my blonde friend.

- Of course, he did, an all boys club.

Even with g*y men, women are always put

on the back burner in film.

- Finally he noticed me.

It means I'm on my way up. - Or he knows you get

on your knees faster than an altar boy on Sundays.

- [Cameron] Okay, go ahead and swing by.

My dad's on a work trip.

You can drop us off.

- All right, see you soon, virgin.

- [Narrator] Welcome, this is episode one

of my new podcast, "Trill Crime."

Trillberry is a beautiful suburb in California,

but one with a long history

of mysterious disappearances,

which is unsolved crimes and serial K*llers.

Episode one will cover the origins of one

of Trillberry's favorite haunted tales,

the Lady of Red and her candle.

- Remember when we tried to

crack that case in high school?

- We were so crazy in high school.

Wait, wasn't that how you met Juan?

- Yes, that is how I met Juan Santiago,

Trillberry's most famous film snob.

You know, every time I buy a joint, I keep thinking

how far weed legislation has come.

- But it hasn't.

I was just talking to my class the other day about

how most people who are locked up

in prison are black and brown

and it's for small offenses like selling weed

or having weed.

- This podcast has facts, huh?

- See, that's the problem.

You are Afro-Latino and you deflect.

- Listen, I'm down for the cause

but not all of us can be Black Panther or Zorro.

(Both laugh)

- Zorro?

- Hey, you know, there's not many superheroes

for me to choose from.

You should teach that in your class.

Hey, let's listen to how crazy the white people

in Trillberry are and smoke some

of this Santa Marta gold.

f*cking white people.

- First AD, I was thinking maybe like walkie PA

or media wrangler.

First AD is like... The only role

I want is the fluffer.

- The role you were born for.

- Thanks Susan, babe.

- Not all strong women are lesbians.

- We live in Trump country, okay?

If you own a feminist book, you're a l*sbian.

And you, you look like you're-

- A boy about to walk into a Dennison.

- Well, that's one way to put it.

- Is it sad that I want Oscar to notice me?

Like f*ck, here I am big bad activist

and I want his approval.

Let's go.

I promised the derby girls I

would commentate tonight.

- That sport is so brutal.

- I don't think I could do this.

Maybe I'll just text him and

just tell him I can't make it.

- No, we're going tonight.

Tonight is the first step of my five point plan.

- I'm glad we know you have a plan.

No, seriously, come on, let's go.

(mellow music)

- [Oscar] You made it?

- Who would turn down the chance to hang out

with Trillberry's number one D-list celebrity?

- How do you take your c*ck?

- Stiff and dry.

- That can be arranged.

Elliot, do you wanna help make the next round?

- None for me. I gotta drive home soon.

- You know, there's a certain amount of time we can stay

before this becomes an inappropriate student

and professor meeting.

- I guess you don't wanna hit this.

- I'm a professor. I'm not f*cking dead.

- So, professor, do we know

what project we're working on next?

- Oh, ask the genius.

- I'm so glad

that my favorite director finally feels inspired

to make a comeback.

- Inspired? Not so much.

Coerced? Very.

- That's my cue to go. I'll be back in the morning.

Please try to have the start of the script at least.

The dean's gonna be riding my until we have a plan.

- Be careful.

There's more than one bull here ready for a ride.

- That's my exit as well.

(ominous music)

- I still don't see how drinking

and playing games is helping you come up with an idea.

- If it helped him with that,

he would have another Oscar by now.

- Maybe I didn't have the right inspiration.

- [Ryland] Maybe I can help.

- So what is your process?

- Have you ever had a pimple on your a*s?

A boil? No?

It's like that.

You can slowly start to feel it form

and then it starts to get bigger and more painful

and it's not ready to head,

so you wash your a*s with hot

water and put on a compress.

And then after what seems like forever,

it burst, erupts, oozes with blood

and pus and pain and a wave of relief.

That is my writing process.

- So we are the warm compress?

- No, acid is.

Cameron, Ryland, have you ever done acid?

- [Ryland] Yeah and I'll do it.

- I don't know.

- Come on, what's the worst that could happen?

- I mean, it's fun and freeing.

- No need for pressure.

But you did say you wanted to understand.

(upbeat music)

- He didn't pressure me.

But have you ever met anybody

that just makes you feel like so free?

Like they're just so free

and lacking of any societal conformity,

it just makes you feel like

you could just do anything.

So I took it. I took the acid.

It was my matrix moment.

(upbeat music)

- I remember that. That was like crazy.

All the g*y guys were scared

to use Trill List for hookups.

- My mom was taken by him.

- Crazy and not possible.

(upbeat music continues)

- You wanna paint me?

Make me your own.

- Stars look so beautiful tonight.

I can see all the constellations.

- I know. I could live this way forever.

(upbeat music continues)

- What the f*ck?

- Oh yeah, I know I had to bust one

when I saw this for the first time.

Don't let me stop you.

- You ruined the mood.

It's true.

For the first time in years,

Ryland actually made me lose my b*ner.

- Have you heard anything from Oscar?

- Maybe that's why.

No, although the professor did

say that The Washup wanted us

to bring sonnets to class for our auditions.

- Sonnets?

- I always forget.

Culture's the one g*y branch you didn't hit.

I'll help you pick one out later.

(phone beeps)

- Who's that?

- Not who? What?

- Come on, the suspense is k*lling me.

- The new episode of Trill Crime's Out.

- Wait, you watch Trill Crime?

Did you see that episode with Kennedy

and the aliens in the dam?

- Yeah, that was last week's episode.

Listen, Ryland, there's something I've been wanting

to talk to you about, something I've been working on.

- Yeah, there's also something

that I've wanted to tell you.

It's just been eating at my soul, burning my stomach.

It's Oscar.

He's just not returning my text.

I mean, does he even see me?

- How could he miss you?

You practically throw yourself at him like one

of those vampires from "Blade."

- Such an underrated saga.

Sorry, what were you saying?

- Nothing.

- Hey, is your dad home?

- Nah, he went away on another business trip.

- Cool. So I can stay the night.

I never understand

why your dad wouldn't let me when he's here.

- Trill Crime. You're a Trilly?

- What?

- A Trill detective.

That's what we call ourselves on Trill Date.

- Oh yeah, I love the podcast.

I still wonder who the host is.

Elliot? - Yeah.

- Do we know what his idea is yet?

- No clue.

He had me set a couple cases of beer outside his door,

but he never let me in.

But he did take a shower this morning

and when he came out, he said that he was ready

to hear us do our sonnets.

Luckily I took a sonnet class taught

by Juan Santiago a few summers ago.

- Well, I'm excited for the new episode.

Maybe we can listen together sometime.

- What was that about?

He was just talking to me about Trill Crime.

He's a sweet guy.

- Okay, everyone, Oscar's ready to hear your auditions.

- So is he still not gonna tell us a plot of this movie?

Like f*ck, we've been waiting a week.

We've been out of class for a week while he's writing.

Where is he? I have a script ready, okay?

The Domestic Strife starring me

as Bo, the alcoholic hetero husband.

- No one is gonna believe

that you're a hetero wife beater.

And if you think that this business is all flowers

and compliments, you are far mistaken.

I know you have all prepared sonnets.

Forget that.

You will be reading this instead.

- This is only really just a formality.

I know that I'm supposed to

be playing the young peasant.

Oscar promised me the main role.

- This is why I never do film or theater.

It's too much nepotism

and I just wanna set up the props, set up the lights,

move the sandbags.

- Fun. So you're new to this class?

- Yeah, just transferred.

Didn't wanna miss the chance

to work with Oscar J Evans.

- As an unperfect actor on the stage.

Who with his fear is put beside his part

or some fierce thing replete with too much rage.

- Whose strengths abundance weakens his own heart.

So I, for fear of trust, forget

to say the perfect ceremony of love's right.

- And in my own love, strength seems to decay

or charge with brethren of mine.

- Oh, love's light.

Oh, let my books be then the eloquence

and presages of my speaking breast.

- Who plead for love and look for re-comp...

- Recompense.

More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.

- Oh, learn to read what side love hath...

- To hear my eyes belong with...

- [All] Love blinded by wit.

- He loves blind wit.

- Angel, you have proven

why this movie is going be a silent film.

Cameron has a cast list.

He will post it once I've left the building.

- I've got a meeting.

(footsteps pattering)

- [Elliot] What? He gave the lead to Ryland?

What the f*ck?

- [Oscar] You know, I'm pretty

excited about this cast list.

It looks pretty good.

- Yeah, for a community college film class,

It's actually not about half bad.

- Well, I mean, they don't have to act.

Film is for pretty people, Jerry.

Theater is for ugly people.

Plus it's silent movie, all they have to do is smile

and glare at the camera.

Okay, that Ryland guy's pretty hot. I'll be honest.

If I wasn't his teacher, he'd be bent over this desk.

- You're not...

You're his teacher. Yeah, no.

(knuckles rapping)

- The Artist. I like it.

A renaissance film, brings you back to the classics.

- Well it really is a q*eer love story.

- Not q*eer, g*y.

Unapologetically f*cking g*y.

- It reminds me

of that play you wrote years ago, Scapino's Revenge.

I was just going through old props.

Still have the prototypes.

Too bad that production fell through.

I'm thrilled at your idea.

- Hey, if you're so thrilled,

how about sparing us a classroom?

- I'm thrilled.

Let's not give the dog a treat before he rolls over.

- Hmm.

- The guy is such an as*h*le.

- It's weird that he said dog.

Do you think he likes it doggy style?

- Don't make me think about him like that.

Oh, it's in there.

- That's my thought.

- You're a d*ck.

Work hard, get dough

I can't get no sleep, please make my life more simple

Miles inside these shoes, so I don't stop, I tiptoe

- Your dad said you were up here.

What are you looking at?

- Promise not to laugh?

- Promise not to laugh.

I am mad that you started the

new episode without me though.

- I wasn't really listening.

It was just kind of like background noise.

- I'm joking. So?

- This is my mother.

- Explain.

- Second grade, Ms. Lucas's class.

We were told to bring pictures

of our mother for Mother's Day.

We were supposed to make special frames for them.

The thing is, my dad didn't

have any pictures of my mother.

So instead I just sat in the corner crying

and then I looked up and there was Ryland.

He sat with me and we talked.

He asked what I thought my mother looked like

and then he drew this.

You know, Ryland's always been there for me.

Like even when his parents

kicked him outta the house,

after he came out at homecoming junior year,

he didn't even bat an eye.

He just looked at me and said,

"Now we both have grandmothers."

- And you two never?

- No, no.

- Looked into who your mom might be?

- Oh, I thought you were gonna ask something else.

No.

Every time I brought it up to my father,

he just says it's too painful and changes the subject.

I feel like my whole life I've just been wondering

who she is and if there's more to it.

Then after taking acid with Oscar, Ryland and Elliot,

Oscar told me something.

He said that Mophet only k*lled g*y twinks.

- You really weren't paying attention

to the new episode, were you?

- Well, you said you didn't listen.

- I listened just a little bit

because the intro was really thrilling.

Trillberry serial k*ller

or the product of America's h*m*.

- Can I show you something?

Ever since that night I've been thinking.

So many things don't make sense.

Like, is my father even really my father?

I just been watching too many

episodes of Switched at Birth?

- You can figure that out.

- What do you mean?

- You know, for a conspiracy buff,

you are a little late to the party.

DNA test.

Just take a sample from your

dad, take a sample from you

and just send it in.

- How though?

- Just wait till he is gone

and take some hair from his brush.

With that bump, he uses a brush.

- He'll be gone tomorrow but we have school.

- Aren't you sick and need to

rest for this weekend sh**t?

- Yeah. Maybe a little.

What do you say we listen to that new episode.

- That's what I came here for.

- [Narrator] Welcome, this is episode six of Trill Crime.

And today we'll begin to talk about the case.

- Oh, don't mind me.

I'm just here to talk to Oscar and the professor.

Where is the professor?

- He's at the campsite preparing for tomorrow's sh**t.

- Class seems a little light.

- It's just our production meeting.

It's our major crew and our cast

except our first AD.

He's not here.

- What's your role?

- I'm the best boy.

- The best boy? I've seen that in the film credits.

What does the best boy do?

- And this is Ryland.

He is our star and lead.

He's the young lad who discovers himself in art

and a Renaissance Lord's young son.

- Hmm.

Well it seems like you

got a whole Mighty Ducks thing going on.

Come see me after class and

bring the professor with you.

- I've never actually been camping before.

- Good. A l*sbian has never been camping before.

- My sexuality has nothing

to do with adventure sports.

- It's okay.

The only thing Angel knows about is water sports.

- Oh f*cking days.

Juan.

- That is Professor Dr.

- Juan Santiago.

- Shut up.

- We came here to check out the competition,

but as usual, you land flaccid.

When we heard that you had given up your haze

of whippets and winks, we didn't believe them.

- Hey, he may be a mess, but he is a genius.

- Okay, Juan, you

and your children of corn have made your point.

- We have not even begun.

- To make our point.

- Juan, what has happened to you?

You become such a tool.

- Who in this room runs the

best theater and film program

in the city and soon to be state?

- [Both] Juan Santiago does.

- My students and our film will wipe your film

off this planet.

- Yeah.

- Shut up, Angel.

- (laughs) Oh, wanna bet on that?

- I would bet my life on that.

- Not your life, your Oscar, Oscar.

(Both clap)

- Deal.

But when I win, I get the bio rights to Carmelo the film.

(All clap)

- But if I win,

I get the streaming royalties from "The Closet."

(Both clap)

- Deal.

Now get out of here.

You're sucking all the joy out

of this classroom like a f*cking dementor.

And take your dogs too.

- So guys, I was thinking about-

- Elliot, I said f*cking silent film.

- As the lead, I think we should all blow off some steam

tonight at Trillberry's Pride Center Drag Night.

- Ryland's right.

You all need to blow off steam

'cause tomorrow at 9:00 AM, it's w*r.

Go check on Cameron.

We can't make this f*cking movie without Cameron.

- So what are you gonna do for money

after you sell the last Oscar?

- I think you remember Tito's.

Seriously, I love their f*cking burritos.

We're going to get our a*s spanked like Daddy Dean.

- Take a seat.

I've been looking over the proposal

for tomorrow night's trip.

The school has decided

it's too big of a liability risk

for a sanction overnight.

- They approved that months ago.

- Circumstances have changed.

- Are you saying that I have

to change my entire movie overnight just

to accommodate these new updates?

- [Dean] Okay, we'll give the students a good perspective

on adapting to obstacles.

- So we can only sh**t and hike during the day?

- That's correct.

And you'll still need that female faculty member

to be a part of the trip.

- You are still

that little control freak house manager, aren't you?

Screw this world. Screw you.

- He'll be fine.

He's a genius.

He once had to rewrite an entire script

because the lead actor had a breakdown.

- It's your job on the line, not mine.

Hope you can pull it together.

Now get out. I have some real work to do.

(upbeat music)

- Place this camera (indistinct)

That's gold.

Join us.

- I'm in.

(phone beeps)

- Okay, we've already had a few setbacks.

Professor tubby a*s isn't here.

He's stuck at my house, okay?

And Selena has twisted her ankle

so she's gonna hold up base camp with Professor Eryka.

Everyone check your emails.

I sent out a new script last night.

- Angel just texted me.

He said that he and Elliot are gonna be a bit late.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

- He changes the script every five minutes.

- That's why I don't read them.

- It looks like I can get more camera time

than I thought I was going to.

- Okay everyone, let's go.

Let's find the first sh**ting location

and me and Ryland are gonna smoke a joint

while you guys set it up.

(upbeat music)

- It's really cool that I get to hang out with you.

You spoke at my high school about inclusion

when I was a senior

and it really inspired me.

- Hmm, so you're a smart one.

So then why did you want to get into film?

- I don't.

I wanna be an investigative journalist

which sounds crazy because

I know it's a dying art form.

- Well, you know, journalism has made way for podcasts

and coyote news.

- That's exactly why I wanna get into it.

I could easily sensationalize

like the podcast everyone

is talking about, Trill Crime,

but I want facts, evidence, DNA.

I want real proof.

What happened?

- I thought I saw something.

You know what? It's probably just because I'm starving.

Why don't we go get some food?

I'm gonna run to the garage and grab my purse.

(ominous music)

- I guess you're stressing. Can we get a break?

- No.

- (indistinct) - Because every time

we only get breaks in between the scenes

that we're behind on and now we have to...

See? Now he's f*cking calling.

- Oh my God.

(upbeat music)

Well, how's he been treating you?

The first AD privileges.

- It's different. It's cool.

I like it.

I'm learning a lot. - It doesn't seem

like you like it.

You're like really quirky and weird. I kind of love it.

- Thanks.

(upbeat music continues)

- (indistinct)

It's f*cking bad.

- Don't bring that up.

That was really embarrassing.

But like I don't really know how read very well,

so like I didn't see that in the title.

That's why I like cameras.

- He was like super complicated on the first day.

Like what Professor even does that?

- Right? I mean, mad respect for me as a creative genius,

but like... Okay. Okay, that's enough.

That's enough.

(upbeat music continues)

- (indistinct)

- He was just saying like some bullshit.

(upbeat music)

(urine trickling)

- [Curtis] Are you okay?

- Other than the fact

that you just scared me, like a Wes Craven movie, yeah.

- [Curtis] Sorry. Sorry, my bad.

- I thought I heard something.

Then I had to pee.

- [Curtis] It's colder than I thought it was

gonna be out here

and it looks like Ryland left our tent

to go sleep with Oscar in the garage.

- These shrooms keep messing with me.

I keep feeling like I'm seeing something.

- [Curtis] Isn't the point to see things?

- Let's go to bed.

(ominous music)

- Can I spend the night with you? It's cold out there.

- Yeah, you can sleep on the couch.

- Hey, little testy today, huh?

(light switch clicks) - What?

- You're here, son.

So how did that long filming weekend go?

You didn't join any wild Hollywood sex cults, did you?

- What? No.

- Hey, little testy today, huh?

- Sorry dad. I'm just tired is all.

- You know, mother used to say that stage

and film were the devil's workshop.

Did I ever tell you that I

actually wanted to be an actor?

- You mean corporate

reconstruction wasn't your dream?

- Now, just because you are an adult, young man,

doesn't mean that you can mock me, okay?

- You never talk about grandma.

- Well, she died two years before you were born.

You know, you are my pride and joy

and, you know, you were named after her father.

- So did you ever try it?

- Try what?

- Acting, theater, film?

- I did. I dabbled in it a little bit after she passed.

I joined the Trillberry Players

and I worked with them on a few shows backstage.

I even ran for the crew of Oklahoma,

but they never let me actually go on stage.

I was gonna go on stage once,

but unfortunately it didn't happen.

It was for Scapino's Revenge.

Oh, it was a hilarious play.

- Sounds so familiar. What happened?

- Well, right before we were about to open,

the playwright ended up going mainstream

so his agent and managers pulled the whole rights

of the show.

Anyway, that was back then.

That's what sort of led to the fall of the theater.

It was never the same after that. We became a film town.

It was actually kind of a blessing.

It sort of rescued Trillberry

because agriculture was dying

and so film became the focus.

Anyway, that was the past.

Now we're an eSports town. Go Zelda!

Anyway, that's enough about me.

Plus those theater people

really weren't my thing anyway.

I never really fit in with them.

Numbers and order, that's my jelly.

- What's mom's jelly?

- Drugs. Drugs were your mom's jelly.

She was a terrible soul

and now that you're old enough to understand,

you should know how troubled that she was.

I loved her deeply

but she had her faults.

I am completely convinced though,

that God meant to bring us together

so that we could have you.

You are my pride and joy.

- I should get some rest. I had a long trip.

- All right. Lemme give you one last piece of advice.

Don't let Oscar J Evans work you too hard.

Got it?

- So?

- Yes?

- Do you even like me?

- I wouldn't have you in my house if I didn't.

- [Ryland] Then why haven't you made a move?

- Believe me, I've thought about it.

I'm not gonna lie. I want to.

But you were the star of my film

and my students.

(upbeat music)

- You see that? From across the room

And I feel like - Oh my God

I clench my hands tight, so

I won't unleash it too soon

Give it to me what I'm owed

And I'll wrap you up and we play hide and seek

And our heart rate climbs up above 130

- Did he just hit him? Oh, y'all freaky.

Because you told me that you like to get dirty

- He let you do that? I like that

- No. Did I?

When it's just for me

You told me you like that

When no one else can see

You're dirty, I like that

- Wow. That b*tch.

This is what we need though.

This is what's gonna get him.

If he taught us one thing, it's not to cry over men.

We're gonna expose his a*s.

Little wh*re. Look at them both.

- Yeah, look at them.

- [Angel] Still looks dirty though.

I would hope that you know

better than to pause our bond

You know we are a rarity

It's so easy to prepare, but too hard to escape

Better not to get bent out of shape

And now cover up your eyes

Now spell out it slowly

All the things that you've done right

You're dirty and I like that

When it's just for me

You're dirty and I like that

When no else can see

You're dirty and I like that

(knuckles rapping)

- It's here.

- What's here?

- The test.

Did you tell Ryland about this?

- He's been kind of busy.

- Are you gonna open it?

- I don't know if I can.

Can you do it?

- Whoa. No, no, no.

This could be the most

groundbreaking moment of your life.

You have to do it.

Plus, if it's news that you don't want,

I don't wanna be associated with it.

(envelope rustling)

- It said Doug's not my father.

- Maybe you're adopted.

- But then why would he lie about my mother?

- Well, have you tried maybe submitting it

to trillaccessory.com

or one of those other DNA relative websites?

I did one and I found out a bunch

of relatives I didn't know I had.

Maybe you could do it to find your mom.

- I can't even think about my mom right now. Who's my dad?

- He's not the monster everyone's making him out to be.

- Tell that to Domestic Strife.

f*ck him. He's a sl*t pig.

Can't wait to get my nails done tomorrow.

- I gotta get my eyebrows done too.

- Yeah, why they doing it like that?

- Wait, you...

Wait.

Shut the f*ck up.

- It's just some pervert trying to cruise.

Go away, weirdo. We're not here to prove.

- Yeah, no fats, no femmes.

(ominous music)

- Hello, are you just gonna stand there

and not say anything like it's on Halloween.

(both screaming)

- Oh my god.

Oh my god.

No, no, no, no.

Are you f*cking leaving?

Oh my god.

You f*cking wh*re.

Elliot, Elliot!

Oh my god.

(indistinct)

b*tch, b*tch.

- [Narrator] "The Closet," Trillberry's

own Oscar winning movie

but it is also a m*rder*r

among relationships and careers.

After obtaining documents, I will tell you

what has been trapped in the closet for 20 years.

A tale of sex, betrayal and secret babies.

This is Trill Crime.

- Did I ever tell you why I stopped doing film?

- No.

- It was hard being a 17-year-old Oscar winner.

Not as hard as it would be today with social media

but tabloids were king

and I was an out and proud g*y actor.

I let the fame get to me

and I pushed everyone I loved away.

It didn't help that I kept on getting letters

from Kirk LePitre, who you know as Mophet the Prophet.

- You need to take these notes to the police.

- There is no f*cking clown out to k*ll me, Juan.

It's a f*cking stalker.

You are just jealous.

I'm the only one from Trilldiodian who made it.

And you were all gung-h* when you were coming along

for the ride on "The Closet"

but you got jealous as soon as they replaced you.

- When they replaced me.

You replaced me and used their words to do it.

America isn't ready for two Latin g*y male leads

and you were so quick to replace me

with Justin Travis Thompson.

Now what? You wanna make a movie about our people?

My family?

What?

Are you going to cast some German kid

to play my grandfather?

You're a sellout.

- I am a sellout?

We're f*cking sellouts.

It's not like our TV show, "Hanging in the Playground"

was any f*cking masterpiece of art.

I don't see Jerry complaining

about his free ride to college.

And you, Mr. NYU,

you think you would've gotten into NYU

with your brown a*s if you weren't semi-famous?

- Oscar, when are you gonna

stop ignoring this freight train

that's heading toward you?

When the tabloids blasted

you for sleeping with an EP,

who stood by your side and told 'em it was all a lie?

These letters are serious. This k*ller is serious.

This k*ller is a plague in our community.

He's targeting young, g*y men.

In the papers today, there was a story about

how the last body was in a commedia dell'arte pose

in a f*cking mask.

He is taunting our community.

- Are you going to give me the rights to Carmelo or not?

- No.

- Then get the f*ck outta here and never come back.

Got another letter.

"Make another movie, spreading your sin

and I will take those closest to you."

That's what I knew. I was the bringer of death.

I've been waiting for them to connect the dots.

All those men who have died, they were a part of my life.

Late night hookups, PAs, chorus boys, all of them.

I knew them.

I was like the virus spreading

through our community

wreaking havoc of fun and party.

- Why didn't you just call the police?

- All they would've seen is a brown man

connected to the victims.

Open and shut.

- You're gonna regret today

and I won't be waiting anymore when you do.

- I don't need you. I don't need anyone.

- You're right. You just need your party.

- Everyone's f*cking replaceable, Juan, everyone.

(mellow music)

- But why not make a movie when Kirk was k*lled?

- That's the thing.

The letter came three weeks after he died.

I'm finally getting out of the shadows

and now my past is here to slaughter me.

Well that's enough old man stories.

I'm sure you came here to say goodbye.

- No, what we did wasn't wrong.

(ominous music)

(phone beeps)

- Jumpy banana shake.

- It's been a while since any one

in this town's gone missing.

- Makes you think about your mother, huh?

Lemme tell you something, Cameron.

Love is a very strange drug

and God uses it to either

tempt us or to nurture us with.

- How did you know you even loved my mother?

- Well, I know that I love you

more than absolutely anything

in this world, including your mother.

That's to answer your question.

You know that you love someone

when you realize that you

will do absolutely anything

to protect 'em from harm.

- [Cameron] Even lie to them?

- Cameron, what is bothering you?

I mean these interesting

questions that you keep asking me.

- You're bleeding. What happened?

- Oh, it's nothing, fiddle sticks.

I was just, you know, opening up a can of tuna

and accidentally cut it.

It's absolutely nothing.

I remember when you first brought this home.

Back then Ryland was all you could talk about

for years and years.

Oh, I am so glad that you are finally starting

to grow away from him.

I mean, that boy is trouble.

- Maybe it's time for you to put mother away.

- Let me tell you something, Cameron.

Love will make you mad.

(doorbell rings)

Who is that?

Do you have somebody coming over?

You know that I don't like you having friends over

while I'm out on a business trip.

- He's just picking me up.

We're gonna go see Ryland and Oscar.

- Cameron, you wanna throw your life away?

I mean, you really wanna risk losing all

of your credits for the entire semester just to go

and see Oscar J Evans?

Look, you can go and see him

after the semester is over, okay?

(knuckles rapping)

And you, you wanna waste the rest of your semester too?

Look, I read the news guys.

I know what's going on, okay?

You look like a smart boy.

You know, Cameron, I better not hear

that you went over to Oscar J.

Evans house or to see Ryland.

You understand?

Now, please don't stay too late tonight, okay?

I'll see you on Monday.

I love you.

- Thanks for coming.

- [Curtis] So we're going to Oscar's?

- I'm kind of hungry.

Let's go to Tito's and then we'll see what Ryland says.

- Hey, hey, it's okay.

We're gonna get you answers, okay?

- I still can't believe about

that student missing from Juan Santiago's class.

It's almost like there's-

- A Mophet copycat? I know.

- Yeah.

- The Trill Boards are going crazy.

Let's not talk about that.

(indistinct)

- (speaks foreign language)

- Can you believe those f*cking a*s hats

didn't even show up to our party?

- Okay, I'm gonna go shower upstairs.

Come join me when you blow off steam.

I'll be back.

- Where have you two been?

- We were at Tito's.

I was craving one of their burritos.

- He missed Oscar but didn't wanna go over to his house.

Ryland said he was having a breakdown.

- Yeah, I saw the post.

They're really not letting him on campus?

- Yeah, he's suspended.

- Yeah and the dean's threatening

any students that go over

to his house could lose their credits for the course.

- Which sucks 'cause

Ryland said he was gonna

throw a k*ller ugly sweater party.

- Yeah and there's a bunch of rumors going

around about a missing student

from Juan Santiago's class.

- Yeah, the Trill Boards are going f*cking crazy.

Crazier than that time

that kid saw Bigfoot at the Trill Creamery.

- Okay, sounds like a bunch of, I don't knows.

(phone dialing)

- Pick up your phone, you f*cking sh*t.

(water rushing)

- [Ryland] I was hoping you would join me.

Listen, the age difference isn't a big thing.

I went after you.

You always pushed me away

until the movie was completely done.

This is not like a Kevin Spacey moment.

More like a...

How?

What are those two guys from

that old g*y TV show you always talk about?

I get it, you wanna watch

but really what is their names?

- Brian and Justin. - What the f*ck?

Cameron's dad, what are you doing here?

- I never really liked you, Ryland.

I always knew that you would never amount

to anything but a wh*re.

That's a problem when you like boys.

You're all sluts.

(ominous music)

- [Ryland] Your dad's Mophet.

Cameron.

- What's wrong?

What's up with your friend?

- He said that my dad, Doug.

He said that he's Mophet.

- What?

- It's a f*cking joke.

It's a Ryland joke.

- It makes sense though.

Every single time his dad's been

on a business, somebody gets k*lled.

If Trill Crime's right, then that's the perfect alibi

because that means if Marigold O'Malley

and The Washup did have a baby,

then that means-

- You're that baby.

- What the f*ck? Where did you get that?

- I found it in the basement along with this.

- And you're just telling us right now?

- I didn't wanna believe it.

- f*ck. Cameron, Mophet, your dad, he kills twinks.

Ryland is the perfect target.

- We need to go now.

- Let's go.

(door rattles)

- Ryland, I'm so sorry I took it out on you.

If there's one thing about this project

that was worth it, it was meeting you.

- [Doug] And you tainted him.

- Ryland, it's not funny, buddy.

- [Doug] I'm not Ryland.

- Then who are you?

- [Doug] You don't remember me, do you?

- I'm supposed to?

- It is I, Scapino.

- What the f*ck did you do with Ryland?

- I told you 25 years ago not to create,

and I told you that those

that you loved would be taken from you.

Mother was right.

You are all the same, your kind.

You liberal g*y artists.

You are gonna ruin this country tempting us boys,

us good Christian boys

with your effeminate wh*res and your twinks.

That's why I had to rid the world

of the ones that you touched.

You took everything from me just like daddy back

when he ran away with that rodeo clown.

- I remember you, always lurking

in the back being weird if I go h*m* with the boys.

- Do you remember laughing at me?

Do you remember berating me?

Do you remember how you laughed at me?

Do you remember how you mocked me

and made fun of me and berated me?

You treated me like I was a rat.

But you, you all were the rats,

the locust that God put on this earth

that I had to cleanse up.

When mother died,

God told me that I had to continue her great work.

I had to continue doing mother's great work.

The work of eradicating the virus of h*m*

that was permeating the garden of Trillberry.

I almost thought she was wrong.

Just for a minute, I thought

maybe I could go on the stage

and then I could maybe become a star

and you took that away from me

and that's why I took him

to save him from your mark of Cain.

- The theater burned down, how

are we supposed to do a show?

- It burned down because you made me burn it down.

I framed Kirk LePitre.

He was an idiot who didn't deserve the attention.

You are the idiot that mother told me about.

And you are not gonna take my son away from me.

I'm telling I'm going to get you.

How about this?

God wanted me to find Cameron, the product

of you and that witch, Marigold

and to save him from your eternal sin.

(g*n fires) (Mophet screams)

- Yeah, that's a good way to (indistinct).

- Are you guys okay? - Where's your dad?

- He's right over...

(ominous music)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

Taking turns

Not a lesson learned

Who'd imagined I would crash and burn

But you got me there

So I'm declaring

A silent w*r

Can't do it anymore

This is not what I was asking for

But you got me here

Then you disappeared

Was it always meant to be a dream

No win in sight

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Hopelessly sure of how I feel

The broken never heal

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Foolishly sure of what is real

The broken never heal

Wish I was made of steel

In return

Yet a page has turned

Another story written in my own words

'Cause you got me here

Still I'm prepared

To end this w*r

To close the door

Pick up the pieces

Scattered on the floor

But you got me here

Still I'll disappear

Was it always meant to be a dream

No win in sight

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Hopelessly sure of how I feel

The broken never heal

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Foolishly sure of what is real

The broken never heal

Wish I was made of steel

Even what could've been

Would never have worked for me

Even if I've been dreaming 'bout it

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Hopelessly sure of how I feel

The broken never heal

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Foolishly sure of what is real

The broken never heal

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Hopelessly sure of how I feel

The broken never heal

In the middle of the night

You'll see me fighting

Foolishly sure of what is real

The broken never heal

Wish I was made of steel
