Good news. No frame of that video footage can clearly peg you.
Your identity is safe.
"Blocking analog"?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
Shuts down any wireless devices in the perimeter.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Thank u, Tupac.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Your isolated prison is starting to feel like my escape these days.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
You're not spending your birthday on your own, are you?
You at least need a pizza or a movie or something.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Are you buying?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Theoretically? Yes.
Technically? No, that would be Tupac.
The one with the paycheck.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
You're offering me an entire night where I don't have to make up lies?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Yeah, I figured you could use a break from it.
I'll see you at 8:00.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
It's a date.
Not a... not a... date-date.
What is it with guys?
You could put up a picture or something.
It would make the place feel less like a prison.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Why, is there something wrong?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
No pictures. Nothing personal.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
It's part of the To Go Plan.
We can get everything out of here that links to us in 14 minutes and be on our way to the safe haven.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Right, because you're on the run, someone's after you.
Did u say "safe haven"?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Yeah, it's...
Tupac name. I think it's kind of goofy.
It's just a place we know how to get around in, but... where no one would ever think to look for us.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
What if no one was erasing Amy?
What if she was erasing herself?
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
And she made herself disappear in less than 20 minutes?
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
That might explain what the system kicked up when I reran the prints.
Her name's not Amy.
Amy's real name is Lily Carter.
Besides this driver's license, there's no other record of Lily's existence before the age of 18-- no birth certificate, no Social Security number, no school records.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
You know, if we're keeping u from your hot date...
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
Oh, it's not a problem.
She's waiting for me.
𝐃𝐫𝐞
Thomas, Watkins.
𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥
Tupac!
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
Sara. Hey. Wassup
I'm... sure you're wondering what I'm doing.
𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚
Yeah, you've been staring at me during staff meetings.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
I... wouldn't... I wouldn't call it staring.
𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚
Oh, yeah, well, uh, I've asked around and apparently u don't have a girlfriend or any kind of life.
Supposedly u show up to faculty functions alone.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
I'm so glad everyone's noticed.
𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚
Yeah, well, I kept waiting, but...
Do u want to go out for coffee sometime?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
I got to go.
Leaving
LISA AND TUPAC PLACE
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
Well, what was I supposed to say?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Uh, how about "yes"?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
Wake up, Lisa
Coffee leads to lunch, lunch leads to dinner, dinner leads to drinks, and... we all know where that leads.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Exactly. And you could do with some of that.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
And what am I supposed to say after three months of dodging?
She can't come see my house because...?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
I don't know. Because... u live with your parents.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
Oh, that's studly. That'll get me laid. Thanks.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Okay, what if she was trustworthy?
Okay, if she was... someone special that knew about us and understood.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
I did that. Remember?
I was that trustworthy friend.
Lasted about a year.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Tupac...
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
I had roommates and a girlfriend.
They start asking questions and you get caught lying to people u love about where you've been and what you've been doing.
It's not a choice.
You can never leave this secret behind.
It's a lot easier to leave your life.
I'm not trying to make you feel bad.
But... bringing someone else in like Sara...
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
She might understand.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
First she'll tell the little lies, then she'll... start brushing off a friend here and there.
It's impossible to avoid.
You know that.
If we actually care about someone, we can't let them give up their world to live like this in ours.
