01x04 - Get Closer

[bunniefuu]

Still no sign of Reece.
Have you got anything?

Vote for Grace?

A vote for Grace is a vote
for a better Bannerman.

Yep. Nothing here either.

Rumes, are you there?

Yeah, totally here!

I've been ready for ages!

We can hear you running.

Oh! Give me a break.

Not used to be
here on a Saturday.

It's spooky quiet.

Okay.
I'm actually here.

I can't see him either.

I hate that I
talked Evan into this.

Don't stress.
You did the right thing.

And we're going to stop Reece
before he can get anywhere close

to hurting Evan.

Yep. We're going to catch him red-handed.
I've always wanted to say that.

Guys, we've got something.

What is it?

It's the car from last night.

It's here.

And guess who just
got out of it?

I know it sucks that
you're missing your big day,

but I mean, it's only cheer.

What a dirt bag!

This puts a whole new spin
on toxic relationship.

I want to vomit.

Or at least get
her away from him.

I've got to head.
Catch up later, yeah?

Rumes? You're up.

Okay.

I see him.

Yeah, he's heading over
to the sports hall.

Clara, are you ready?

I got him.

He's gone into the
boys' locker room.

I can't go in there.

So much for
catching him in the act.

Guys?

He's moving again.

He's got a water bottle.

It's just like with Leila.

He's going to put
something in Evan's water.

I'm gonna follow him.

Hey, Reece.
You all ready for the match?

Imperial do
not stand a chance.

I will say it's
good to see you caring so much.

Well, a good vice captain
always picks up the slack.

That's what you taught me.

Come on,
we haven't got much time to go.

Walk with me.

I wanted to talk about the team.

I want to step up and
be captain. I'm ready.

Evan doesn't care nearly
as much as I do, Coach.

A real captain works
with their team, Reece.

He doesn't undermine them.

Did you hear that?

What happened?

Reece wants to be rugby captain.

It's all
starting to make sense.

Sending them now.

Oh!

Hey, Dad.

Have you got a minute?

Reece can't have
just disappeared.

Okay, let's split up.

- What, again?
- Keep your AirPod in.

Let me know if you find him.

Great. More running.

About the, um…

flyer decision.

Look, you know, you're the
best spotter on the team.

Right?

It's just, after what's
happened to Leila, um,

we can't lose that.

I know.

How's Brooke doing?

- Yeah, she's got it all marked out.
- And her stunts?

She's not tens across
the board just yet, but

- probably just…
- A confidence thing.

- Yeah.
- Do you want me to have a word with her?

You know…

Yeah, that would
be a great help.

Thank you.

Don't worry about it, Dad.

Surprise.

Miles, what are you doing here?

I came to support you.

- That's a bit weird.
- No, it's not.

It's the natural progression
of what's happening here.

You saying it like that
definitely just made it weirder.

Okay, fine. I won't say
anything else, then.

I'm going to be in the crowd
later and I might even whoop.

I found him.

Get here now.

On my way.

Hey, you all right?

- Is something funny?
- Did you really join cheer?

Yeah. And what?

Well, isn't it just
pompoms and looking pretty?

No! Cheer is amazing.

It's athletic and creative…

About trusting someone
to catch you if you fall?

If your string
breaks, nobody dies.

Sure.

And why do you get to be the
judge of all things cool?

Oh, they gave me
that honor at birth.

Have you ever even seen cheer?

Like, in person?

I'm not sure I could survive
that level of organized fun.

Well, have fun
being the coolest.

Oh, I will.

Sorry. Sorry. I did run.

Miles in school on a
Saturday feels very wrong.

Yeah, that might have
something to do with me.

Wait! What happened last night?

Um…

- Miles kissed me.
- What?!

And you're only telling
us this now because… Why?

With the whole Evan situation,
it kind of slipped my mind.

Well, that's not a
very encouraging sign.

- Have you talked to Miles about it?
- And say what? Thanks for the kiss.

- Good point.
- Okay, so how was the kiss,

on a scale of good to
amazing to mind-blowing?

I mean, it wasn't bad.

It was just unexpected.

Guys…

Wow.

So, that's our
genius plan ruined.

Not so genius, after all.

Well, if he's not messing with
the water, what is he gonna do?

And how are we
supposed to stop him?

We can't wait anymore.
I have to warn Evan.

Okay, so I'm kind
of freaking out.

Evan…

It was Reece's car last night.

- You sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.

- How?
- I saw a scratch.

It was fresh, like
it had just happened.

What if he's more dangerous
than we've realized?

Come on, mate, let's go.

I'm going to go play
rugby with him right now.

That's a good crowd
out there, people.

Wait, why is it so quiet?

Can I get a yell in here?

Go, Bannerman!

That's more like it. Okay.
Finish up warming up.

Clock's ticking.

Hey.

I totally forgot. Are your
parents coming to watch?

Uh, nah, they're too busy.

Too busy?

What? Rumi, I've known you
for, like, a million years.

Your parents have never missed
you do ballet, not once.

Okay, maybe they're not here

because they didn't know it
was happening.

You didn't tell them
you're performing?

I haven't told them
that I've joined, okay?

Clara, don't I look
at me like that.

You know they wouldn't let
me do ballet and cheer.

Okay, let's
get going, everyone.

And remember, big smiles. Yeah?
Let's have some fun out there.

Come on.

You'll be fine!

You've practiced so much, I've
got worn out watching you.

Hey, how you feeling?

Apparently, my stomach already
thinks it's been basket tossed,

but, otherwise…

When you get out there,
that will all fade.

Focus on your technique
and your timing.

You'll be great.

Let's go, Bannerman!

If she can't even hold a pompom, how
is she going to get on the pyramid?

So are you gonna tell me what you were
doing outside my house last night?

What are you talking about?

Okay, so I drove over.

I just wanted to talk and
I saw Grace was there.

Mate, you could've
just texted me, man.

- What did you want to talk about?
- Leila.

- You're not serious! How can you still...
- Come on, man.

Why are you trying to get involved?
You're trying so hard to interfere.

I didn't want you to blow it up
with her. I was trying to help.

Oi!

Have we got a
problem here, lads?

- No, Coach.
- Evan?

- Right, boys, come on. We've got this.
- Let's go. Let's go.

Let's show them what
we've got. Come on!

Let's go! Come on!

After what happened to
Leila, I'm off my game.

Well, what happens if we
pull you out and someone…

Move forward!

Yeah, Evan! I'm open!

Ugh!

I was right there!

Evan! A simple pass! Come on!

- Evan's off his game.
- Reece is messing with his head.

It's got to be.

Evan's not thinking straight,
so he's gonna be vulnerable.

- Vulnerable to what?
- I wish I knew.

All right, everyone, we're
not far off halftime.

Gather round! Bring it in!
Come on! Come on! Gather round!

I know it's sudden,

but Brooke and I have had a chat
and I've decided to make a change.

So,

Clara,

I want you to come
in as point flyer.

Which means Brooke will
be rejoining the tumblers.

And, Grace, I want
you as spotter.

- All right with that?
- Yes, Coach.

- We've trained for this.

The game may not
be going our way,

but we can still give
the players and the crowd

something to get
excited about. Yeah?

- Yeah?
- Yeah!

- Are you ready?
- Yes, Coach!

That's what I'm
talking about. Come on.

This is too big of a change. I
can talk to my dad and we can…

- Clara, I'm ready for this and so are you.

We're the best kind
of weirdos, remember?

Come on. Come on.

Come on, lads!

Gather
round. Quick, quick, quick!

Come on. Quick.

Okay, guys, it's time! Come
on, let's get out there.

Come on, team! Let's
show them what we're made of!

Go, go, go!
You've got this!

Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo!

If I ever say I wanna be a
flyer again, just stop me, okay?

Clara, you are a tiny but
powerful being of awesomeness!

Clara.

Um…

Your sister was right.

I should've trusted you.

- Oh, go on!

Ooh!

Did you tell Dad to
put me in as flyer?

Seriously? Dad doesn't
listen to me about anything.

But it might not have
been all his idea.

I knew you could do it,

but don't even think
about stealing my spot!

All right? You can just keep
it warm for me until I'm ready.

You actually came?

I officially apologize.

That was whatever the complete
opposite of rubbish is.

You were really great out there.

Thanks.

Like, really, I was so nervous.

But I'm glad you came, Jess.

I'd better
get back to it.

I'll see you around?

Yeah.

Oh!

Dude, what are you doing?

Reece, just stay away from me.

You're our captain and you're
playing like you want us to lose.

Yeah, because of you.

This is all because of you.

- Get off me!
- I'm so done with you!

You leave me and my
girlfriend alone. You hear me?

All I've ever done
is be your friend.

I'm sorry, Reece. I
didn't mean to. I just…

Coach, you sub him
off or I send him off.

- Yeah, he's going.
- But, Coach!

Bench now.

- Why does it feel like we failed?

At least Evan's okay.

Sort of okay, anyway.

Come on! There's
one minute left.

Ref, how long?

Last play.

Oh!

They think he's
some sort of hero!

After everything he's been doing,
after everything he did to Leila.

Hey.

It's okay if you don't want
me to be here right now.

No.

Sit.

Come on.

You were right.

Reece got what he wanted
after all, thanks to me.

No, it's because of me.

You should be there with
your team getting the trophy.

I mean, who cares
about trophies?

You do.

I guess I have this tendency
to overthink things, sometimes.

It's better than me
underthinking everything.

Thanks, Grace, for trying.

At least all your
limbs are still intact.

Wait. What was going
to happen to my limbs?

Nothing!

What… Did I say something
about your limbs?

Okay,
come on, guys.

You were right. Evan
was off his game.

You saved us out there.

It's your trophy.

I, um…

Sorry, I, um…

I'm not really
very good at this.

But we wouldn't have even made
the final if it wasn't for Evan.

What is he doing?

You can believe what you want.

I don't have feelings for Leila.

I know.

I know.

Evan, I'm sorry.

Together?

Oh!

Yay!

Bannerman!

None of this makes sense.

At least everyone
survived, right?

Yeah, nothing bad happened.

Even if we did have to
run after Reece all day.

Well, if Reece isn't
X, then who is?

Bannerman…

Can you hear me?

I do hope you all
enjoyed yourselves

watching your stupid,
violent little game.

That this school
seems to pride itself…

- Evan.
- …so much in.

Bannerman!

I
did try to warn Evan,

but if you're all so proud
of wearing the school colors,

then you're going to love this.

Whoa!

What?! Oh!

What is this stuff!

You're
all gonna love this.

Who would do this?

You could stop this.

You're
gonna love this.

You're gonna love this.

You're
gonna love this.
