What's the point?

We're graduating. I...

All you have to do

is say, "hi."

I don't want

to say hello to him.

Fine.

I love you so much, Vee.

But you're a watcher.

So watch me do it for you.

No, no, no, Syd, Syd, Syd.

Just watch.

No, no, no! Syd, no.

Yeah! Sydney!

Why don't you show us

the front next time?

You first, Chuck.

I hear it's really big.

Guess it's average.

Uh... hey, JP.

What's up?

Um... I was wondering. Do you

have a girlfriend right now?

No!

It's not for me.

It's for a friend.

Well, which friend?

Um...

No, it's...

She's not my type.

You're not nearly as hot

as you think you are.

Yes, he is!

And you are a douchebag.

No, don't go! Come on!

Vee! Vee!

Just let her go.

Not cool, Sydney.

I'm just trying to help her.

Let's not help her.

She'll figure it out.

Hello. Welcome to nerve.

You have chosen player.

Nerve is a direct democracy.

Watchers decide your dares.

The two players

with the most watchers

by the end of regulation

will advance to the final round,

where the winner takes all.

Watchers can watch

from anywhere,

but they are encouraged

to film live.

So don't be alarmed.

There are three rules.

One, all dares must be filmed

on the player's phone.

Two, there are only

two ways to be eliminated.

Fail or bail.

Three, snitches get stitches.

Thank you for

keeping nerve a secret.

Good luck, player.

Hey, this is Vee,

I'm not here right now...

Vee! You have to

sign up and watch me.

For account information,

press one.

For phone or credit card

information and payment...

Tommy. Hey, I'm

pulling up outside.

What the hell's so urgent?

We have to go

to colonnade diner.

- We have 15 minutes.

- Why? What's going on?

I signed up for nerve and

that's where my first dare is.

What do you mean?

You signed up as a player?

Oh, man.

What?

Is that so hard to believe?

You know that some kid supposedly

died in Seattle playing nerve?

Oh, I don't buy that.

If kids were dying,

the game would be shut down.

No, they can't shut it down.

There's not a single server.

What does that mean?

Everybody that logs

onto the game

becomes a new server.

So it's impossible

to turn the game off.

How do you even know

so much about this game?

You've never even played.

Look, I spend a lot of time

on the dark web, all right?

Oh, a lot of time

on the dark web?

Is that right, hacker boy?

Yes, that is right.

You're only accessing

10% of the Internet, you know.

Why are you even doing this?

Seriously, it's dangerous.

Is it because of Sydney?

This is not about Sydney.

I'm...

It's just not like you.

That's the point.

Kiss a stranger for five seconds?

A stranger?

Vee, I'll give you $100.
