[knocking]
Shh.
- Hey, can I come?
- Just go ahead.
Just get, go, go.
What's with you?
You planning a heist or something?
Yes, actually, hence the all black,
sneaky-sneak.
Okay, well, you know,
that only works at night.
Oh yeah, see that's why I need you.
I need a break into David's office.
Okay.
Don't you want to know why?
I'm good.
[Slinky, confident music]
Stop trying to be so discreet.
Walk like you're supposed to be here.
Confidence is key.
All right.
Right. What are you doing?
Chewing fake gum.
Don't do that.
Okay, this is it.
What do we do? Do we like
credit card the door?
I've never picked a lock before.
[sigh]
[music stops abruptly]
[Light, tiptoeing bassline and drums]
What are we looking for?
Ah, probably like a safe or a lockbox.
[whistles]
It's locked.
You don't say.
[Max] Go, go. Behind the desk.
- [Max] Bog!
- What are you doing in here?
[Max] Hey, I'm just trying
to help you, man.
I'm just trying to help you.
Hey, listen to me, okay?
Someone's trying to
sabotage the talent show.
I know, I know.
Listen, I'm talking
stink bombs, glitter bombs,
all the other non-dangerous bombs.
Oh, scoundrels.
- Yeah man.
- We gotta put a stop to it.
No, listen, listen, listen.
The guys that I'm
trying to accuse, right?
They're very powerful people.
[Max] Very powerful people.
They got eyes everywhere, right?
Street lamps.
Yeah.
Lanyards. Exactly.
See, this is why I
don't like ceiling fans.
Exactly, my man.
The corruption comes from the top.
I mean, look at this board.
It's a cover-up.
It's a cover-up.
[Max] These chipmunks,
they're hiding something.
You can figure that out, right?
Let's see.
[Max] You know, look at beloved.
Beloved.
Gotta be an anagram.
B-E-L.
ved, beloved.
Beloved.
The Satan Society!
No!
Not the Society of Satan.
[Max] Satan Society.
Yes, the Satan Society.
And let me tell you,
their pockets run deep.
[Max] They got Gucci robes.
- Diamond pitchforks.
- [Bog] No.
They want to turn this
whole place into a strip mall.
- No those monsters.
- Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. Come here, man.
You know what?
What are we gonna do about it, Bog?
[Bog] We gotta stop this.
You know what, Bog?
What? Tell me!
[Max] I am so mad!
I'm just so upset!
You know, it just makes me like,
"Oh, man!“
Bog, you do it!
Come on.
Yeah. Harder than that.
Come on. Express yourself.
Bog, get it out!
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
Good work, Bog.
I'm coming for you, Satan Society.
Bog, is coming for you.
Get over here.
Hey, look
It's gonna be okay.
Hey, just breath, breath.
Okay. I feel better.
- I feel better.
- I'm glad.
Hey, hey. Hey!
[Bog] What are we gonna do
about the Society of Satan?
I trust you to figure it out.
Hey
Look out for those ceiling fans.
Got it.
I should probably clean this up.
Oh, that was epic.
[Lennie] Yeah.
That man is crazy.
Hey.
So we just did all that so
you can check your Instagram feed?
Is that what's going on?
No. No, no, no, no.
No?
What's going on?
I don't want anybody to
know this, but it's my birthday.
And that's usually the one day a year
that I hear from my mom.
Not every year, but most years.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, why didn't you just tell Karla?
I'm sure she would have been human
enough to give you the phone for a second.
I don't want her to know
about the situation with my mom.
So you don't want Savannah to know?
Exactly.
I would like Savannah to know
as little about my life as possible.
I don't blame you.
So?
Did she say anything?
I can't
look.
Three, two, one.
Come on. All right.
Ready?
[together] Three, two, one.
Hey, it's--hey.
It's okay.
It's still early.
There's still time.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
- Yeah.
- And I don't expect it.
It's okay if she doesn't call.
No, it's not.
Hey, guys.
It's Warrior Games.
Whoo!
Warrior Games.
Max, it's Warrior Games.
- It's Warrior Games.
- Let's go.
It's Warrior Games.
Warrior Games.
Whoo-hoo.
Aweegaway, Warriors.
[David] Warrior Day is about to begin.
[David] The relay to end all relays.
Yes!
What are you doing?
Bog.
The baptismal
blasphemer is still at large.
This is a crime punishable by death.
No, Bog. No. No. No one dies.
No one dies.
It's just a prank
someone's probably doing.
Pranks kids.
Pranks, it's fine.
[David] All right!
The Warrior Games are about to begin.
Whoo!
Whoo!
Get out of there.
Hey. You okay?
Yeah. I didn't
I feel like I'm like floating.
It's so weird.
I'm gonna beat you.
The first game is Back to Back
Balloon Race.
By the way,
I'm still gonna win this for you.
Dude, we're not even on the same team.
It's time for the Egg Toss.
Play ball!
Wheelbarrow time!
Go, Go!
Finally, the Water Bucket!
Come on, get a move on. Let's go!
[Jake] Oh, he's doing flips.
Don't let me down! Don't let me down!
It's going to be a close one!
And Crimson Angels
are declared the winner!
[cheering]
[Lennie] Max, where are you taking me?
Why do I have to keep my eyes closed?
A little bit further.
You gotta step there.
Ah, just kidding.
You can't do that!
Sorry, sorry. Here we go.
Now you have an actual step.
Now I don't believe you.
Right there.
There you go. Very good.
Very good. Come on.
- All right, we're so close. So close.
- To what?
Okay, I'm gonna
need you to stand right here.
Don't touch anything. Stand right here.
All right?
Keep your eyes closed.
Max, they're closed.
- Keep them closed.
- Max.
Keep them closed. Okay.
One sec.
And open.
Welcome.
What is this?
Just a bunch of junk I stole.
Really?
No.
David's kind of weird,
but he's also pretty cool.
Gave me all this stuff.
I made a rage room.
A rage area, rather.
I don't know what that is.
Okay. So, when I was younger
there was this
junkyard, right by
one of my foster homes.
And I would always just go
and wail on this stuff for hours.
It always made me feel so much
better to just get it all out of me.
Right? Now, I don't know
what your childhood home looked like,
but I have an idea of what it felt like.
So, I made this living room,
which now eerily looks a
bit like my childhood living room.
I'm just now realizing.
But I did that because I know that you
have to get some of that stuff out, too.
Max, Max, I swear. I'm at
peace. I've completely let it go.
Your mom not calling you
on your birthday? It's not okay.
It's all right to be upset about that.
I'm not angry.
But you just have
to let yourself go there.
And I have a feeling you've
never let yourself do that, have you?
That leads me to
my next point. One second.
Happy birthday.
Okay, so what you want to do is channel
all of that anger that you have pent up.
And once you feel it, just--
I can't. I'm sorry. I can't.
I can't do it.
Hey, how about this?
You watch me, give it a go,
and then we'll see
how you're feeling, okay?
Here you go. Now,
those months where I had to lie
to Charlie about where our dad was
or all those times we
didn't have any food in the house?
[Max] All right.
Your turn.
[Max] Come on.
[Max] You can do it.
Anything you want, it's open.
All right. Not bad. You can do better.
Here you go.
Good.
Good. Good.
Come on, Lennie, there you go.
There you go. Keep it going.
Let it all out, Lennie. Come on.
All right. All right, come on, Lennie.
Come on, Lennie, you got this. Come on.
Good. Flip some stuff. Let's go.
Good, Lennie. Come on. Feel it.
[screaming]
[Max] Hey, it's okay.
I'm so proud of you.
[Max] You did it. You did it. You let go.
[Max] Just breathe. Just breathe.
[Max] I love what you've
done with the place.
You know what?
I'm gonna call her.
You're gonna call her?
Yeah.
As you should.
Phone hours are over,
but I can leave a message.
Phone hours?
[operator]Women's
correctional facility.
I'd like to leave a
message for Beth Lawrence.
Inmate 41658.
[operator] Go ahead.
Hi, Mom. It's my birthday.
You know that.
So why haven't you called?
I literally ask you for one
call a year, and you can't even--
I'm mad, Mom.
I'm so mad at you.
You really messed me up, because of you,
I hope less.
I expect less. I think I deserve less.
Which is why I'm so
grateful that you are
not the one writing my story.
[Lennie] Mom, I forgive you.
Even if you're not sorry.
If you are never sorry, I forgive you.
It costs me nothing to love you.
It costs me everything
to hold on to this pain, so
I love you.
Okay.
Bye, Mom.
Ask me again.
Never have I ever stood up for myself.
Never have I ever stood up for myself?

- Last day of camp, I'll paint yours.
Let's do it
What are you doing?
She still hasn't called
Savannah, I like your dress too.
It's probably time to put it back, right?
You're right.
I'll go
I'm a little bit better
at sneaky-sneak than you
That's tough
Sorry
By the way guys
Peace and Max out.
[Charlie] That's a Max sign off.
I told you
You were right
[David] Come on, does it seem like
we're getting away from the point?
[Karla] David, the bottom
line is that you do not have
the numbers you need to
keep Camp Aweegaway alive.
So sit back, watch, and learn.
Alright, we have Salvations,
Seven.
Pathetic.
Rededications
Twenty-seven,
ooh, better, better.
Baptisms
Eleven.
Not so great, but
I've got some good leads.
Let me spell it out for you.
Project Max.
Now this is where our focus needs to be.
Savannah got the
perfect clip of him last night.
Watch this.
Yes.
That's Max.
Isn't he amazing? Everybody loves him.
He's the ringleader at Sunshine.
Lennie has been working on him all week.
And now, after this moment
Lennie's just got to get an interview.
And then we'll have the
before and after of his eternal journey.
I can't believe she got him to cry.
He cries they buy.
[solemn music]
You want an interview?
Here's your interview.
[interposing voices]
It's Warrior games.
Whoo!
Warrior games
Max, it's warrior games
It's warrior games
Let's get out of here
Let's go

What's the line?
Ah, by the way, I'm
still going to win this for you
- Oh, for Rowe

Not for you
Not for you, buddy
[Screaming]
Start it!
No!
Alright, cut
[Laughter]

Man, such a short pass
