Finding Carter (2014–2015): Season 1, Episode 10 - Love Story - full transcript

We know you've been
sleeping with Gabe's Dad.

If you don't
divorce Elizabeth,

then I will let you
write your book.

So you'd already
written it.

And that whole speech about
fatherly truth-telling...

that was a lie?

Yes.

I need my bank
to cover some debts.

You're his bank?

Here, don't say your bank
didn't do anything for you.

What am I
supposed to do with it?



Sell it, pawn it.

Are you sure
you wanna do this?

It's your first time,
I want it to be perfect.

I miss her.

I'll find her for you.

I believe you have
a necklace of mine.

No, I don't. But you're
wearing my bracelet.

She gave this to me.

Did you give
that to her?

Hands behind
your back please.

Bird, tell them!

What... You...

Could you just tell me
what this looks like?

It's bad.



Did Crash
put you up to this?

Between you
and your husband, I...

I think I might actually
be better off in here.

It seems my daughter
stole my necklace

and blamed your daughter.

I've dropped all charges
against Carter.

I'm here to pick up Carter...
No, Liz, Crash came by.

Some idiot clerk allowed him
to post bail for her.

She's gone?

She's gone.

♪ You understand
I got a plan for us ♪

♪ I bet you didn't know
that I was dangerous ♪

Whoo!

♪ It must be fate...

Sit down.

Sit down and put
your seatbelt on.

What...

All right, all right.

Pretty safety conscious
for a fugitive.

I just got you.

I don't want
to lose you now.

Out the window.

So where are we going?

I don't know.

Where do you
want to go?

Away.

My favorite place.

Somewhere where
nobody knows me...

where nobody has any reason
to lie to me.

So, California?

California?

Yeah, why not?

Land of
the fresh start.

And I can be a farmer.

I've always wanted
to be a farmer.

What?

No, no, you're right,
that is exactly

what I think
when I look at you.

Cows.

Not cows.

A marijuana farmer.

Oh, my God, I'm so uncool.

Maybe, maybe...

Maybe even
a marijuana farmer that's...

seen the Grand Canyon.

The Grand Canyon?

Yeah, why not?

And maybe, like, also a farmer
who's seen Mount Rushmore?

Okay, or...

a marijuana farmer that's
seen where you grew up.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

♪ Pretending

♪ Pretending
to not feel alone ♪

Ugh!

Any news?

No, her phone is off,
her voicemail is full,

and the tracker
that we put on her phone

says she was
in North Carolina.

Now it says that
they're doubling back.

So, maybe
she's headed home.

Yeah, maybe.

You know, I wish, for once,

that I could just live
in your world.

Just nice and relaxed,
hope everything's gonna be okay,

but I can't do that.

I can't just cross my fingers
and hope that she's okay

and nothing bad
is going to happen.

Lizzie, I'm just saying it's
too early to get hysterical.

I'm not hysterical... David.

I am proactive.

I know
this is frightening.

We lost her
once before.

I see myself in her.

And if I was her...

I wouldn't come back.

You'd have had
good reason.

That mother of yours...

Are you saying
that I'm like my mother?

I'm reminding you
that you're not.

Yeah, I know, I just...

Look, please don't
tell her I called.

When are you coming home?

I don't know
about home,

but I really
want to see you guys.

But you could come home.

Bird and her Mom
came by the house.

Oh, yeah?
What did she say?

She said that she stole
all the jewelry, not you.

They dropped all charges
against you.

What?

You're not
in any trouble.

Yeah, please come home.

I can't, I...

It's not safe
for Crash now.

Carter, it'll never
be safe for Crash.

Just come home,
you're not in trouble.

Listen to me, he's only going
to make things worse for you.

Sorry, she just
barged in.

I'm sorry,
I'm leaving.

I'm... I'm leaving
right now.

Is she still there?

Come...

No, she left.

Right.

Where are you guys going?

Um, Disneyland
of course.

Yeah, that's where
I would go, too.

I'll talk to you
later, armadillo.

You too, elephant.

Bye.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

♪ Jumping up for you
you need a little boost ♪

Okay, what's you favorite sound?

I'm not gonna tell you.

Come on!
Okay, all right.

A train...
in the distance.

Like, at night.

I told you
it was stupid.

That's not stupid,
that's really nice.

What's yours?

My favorite sound...

the sounds
that dogs make...

when you haven't seen them
for awhile and you come back

and they're really
excited to see you.

I know what
you're talking about.

If I went away
for a long time

and then I came back,

would you make
that sound?

Yes.

Oh, my God.

What?

Crash, pull over.

What?
Pull over.

Elizabeth put out
and Amber alert?

I'm sorry.

Damn it!

Mom, an Amber alert?

How could you?

If not now,
I hope eventually

you understand why
I had to do this.

Isn't this
for kidnappings?

Yes.

So, you're saying
Crash kidnapped Carter.

But she sounded fine
on the phone.

I hope what
you just did works.

How's that?

Yeah, it's good.

Ah, well...

the B's not great.

No...

now it kind of looks like
the "B" is bigger

than all
the other letters.

God, that's horrible.

No, it's fine, look,
nobody's even gonna be looking.

We can just go.

Carter, will you
just let me do this?

Hold the light still.

There you go,
much better.

Come on, we can go.

There's a few things
we have to figure out first.

Where are we?

Like, 30 miles
outside of York.

Okay, so the closest
bus terminal would be...

Harrisburg, right?

Why do we need
a bus terminal?

'Cause you're going home.

What, no I'm not.

Carter, this isn't
a game anymore.

Why don't you get that?

It's a manhunt.

If they catch me,
they're gonna charge me

with statutory rape
and kidnapping.

Yeah, except you didn't rape me,
you didn't kidnap me!

Yeah, but you're...
you're a minor!

In the eyes
of the law, I did.

You're better off
without me, come on.

No, I'm not!

All right, well, then I'm
better off without you.

Are you?

No.

No, but we'd both
be better off without this.

All right, fine,
I'll turn it off.

It doesn't matter
if it's off or on,

it's a GPS system
pointing right to us.

All right, fine.

There, is that better?

Are we doing this?

Well, clearly I am.

Are you?

It's just us.

We're off the grid.

Yeah.

So, there were two
of them in the aisle,

and I didn't understand,
they were really excited

'cause they just got their
black tip on their belt.

And I appreciate that
'cause I was a purple belt.

Yeah.

But when they started
throwing the moon-pies

and I ask them to stop,
then they look at me like,

"Hey, man,
do you Kung Fu?"

And so I said, "Do you think
that's air you're breathing?"

Thanks for
making me laugh.

You know what else
I was thinking?

What?

Is this for me?

Mm-hmm.

So, I can... I can
come here all the time

whenever I want.

All the time,
whenever you want.

And we can
lay on the couch.

Mm-hmm.

I'll cook you food.

Ramen.

I wish I could call Carter
and tell her about it.

Trust me,
she'll be back soon.

Hey.
Hey.

They never fixed the lock
on the back window.

Hey, this could work.

This is good,
we could use this.

Yeah, we could
probably stay here

until we find a new spot.

Is it weird being back?

Yeah.

This is really different
without all our furniture.

Okay, tell me.

What was over here?

Over here?
Uh-huh.

Um, over there was this big,
old couch that we had

that we bought
at a flew market.

All of our furniture
was from flea markets.

Okay, what about
in front of the window?

Uh... Oh, that
was where we, um,

we put the Christmas tree
every year.

'Cause my Mom always
wanted the neighbors

to be able to see it
when they walked past.

Okay, what about here?

Over here
was our dining room.

That... It was just where
my Mom kept all of her books.

And, um, she had these
three wicker baskets

full of yarn
right over there.

She would always try to
teach me how to knit.

Wait, you know
how to knit?

No, I still can't do it.

Oh, and my height chart!

Look.

Your what?

You never had
a height chart?

You know,
when your Mom, like,

makes you stand up
against the wall

and then, like,
measures your height,

and you can see
how much you grow?

No?
Sorry.

Oh! All right, well,
let's do it now.

Stand up
against the wall.

I'm sorry.

Okay, move back.

I can't even reach.

Come back.

So, that's you now,

and the last time
my Mom measured me,

I was here.

What?

This is new.

This wasn't here before.

My Mom wrote this.

Well, how do you know?

That's her handwriting.

That's how she does
her sevens.

Okay, what is it?

I don't know,
but I'm gonna write it down.

Hey...

what did I tell you?

I told you
I'd find her for you.

Hey, who's in there?

Come on, I heard somebody
in there last night.

What do we say?
Shh, shh, shh.

All right, that's it.
Let's go, let's go.

I'm calling the landlord
and the cops.

My Mom would've seen
the Amber alert.

She's met you, she'll know
you didn't kidnap me.

We need to go leave
a message for her with Max.

No, no.
Yes, please, yes.

No, no we can't even
go in that direction.

It's dangerous.

What direction
is good right now?

We wont even stay long,
and then after that

I promise I will leave
all navigation up to you.

Please?

Come on.

Please, please?

Okay.

And then...

California.

Fine.

Thank you.

♪ This is real

♪ We're on fire

All right,
what do you want?

Chips.

Okay, I have, uh...

two dollars.

What do you got?

I thought you had money.

I did.

And then
I paid your bail.

And, uh...

I bought something.

What'd you buy?

Are you kidding?

Why did you buy that?!

Carter, I have a record.

Cops don't protect
a guy like me.

Now, look,
we're both on the run.

I want to be able
to take care of us.

I want to be able
to protect you.

You should learn
how to use this.

Safety's on.

Wow, I guess I did learn
something from Elizabeth.

Hey, it's Elizabeth...
Detective Wilson.

I'm just
checking in again.

Yeah, I... No, I appreciate it,
it's just...

I just want to remind you
that's it's within the 48 hours,

and after that, our chances
decrease significantly.

Right, right.

No, I appreciate all the time
you guys have put in tonight.

Hey, I was wondering
if that one lead turned out.

Right, no, I get it.

I just want
them to come home.

Yeah, you just
let me know.

I'll have
my phone on me.

Thanks.

It's weird, right?

Yeah.

It's like
classic Mom again.

Looking for the kid
who isn't here.

I like it
when you're around.

Come on.

Carter.

♪ Sleazy heart
don't make me pay ♪

I can't believe
she did this.

Try not to think
about it.

I'll help you forget.

It's my turn.

I'm going on a trip.

You are?
Yeah.

I'm gonna take
an ashtray, a boxer, uh...

a caterpillar...
Mm-hmm.

And a dart...

You can't take this long,
it's cheating.

And... Are you kidding me?

I'm going
as fast as I can.

Okay, if I were
to go on this trip,

I would bring an apple,
no...

Ha ha!
No!

I won!

I won!

This won't take
long, I promise.

Oh, yeah!

I knew you'd come back!

Come here.

I'm not really back.

What're you talking about?
I'm looking right at you.

It's really good
to see you.

Sss...

You're still with Crash.

Come on, don't start.

I didn't start.

You know what, I think that's
really what the problem is,

is that I didn't start
when I had the chance.

Who are you calling?

Taylor.
Max, hang up.

Hang up
or I have to leave now.

And you'll never
see me again.

Thank you.

Now, turn it off.
Why?!

Because Taylor's
gonna call back,

and I know you,
you can't keep a secret.

Turn it off.

You're not
a very nice fugitive.

Max...

This is hard
for me, too.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Look, why don't you
want to see Taylor?

Or Grant? You know,
I could call them right now

and they'd be here
super fast.

I can't stay that long.

Okay, okay, well,
at least talk to them.

Carter, come on, when
are you gonna realize

you got... you got people here
who really love you?

No, I...

Look, I need you
to do me a favor.

Will you give that to her
if you see her?

And I need
two burner phones.

Please, Max?

Max, you don't understand,
he's not like you.

Okay, he's never had
anyone care about him

in his life, ever.

No, I do understand that.

And now, he just...

he can't let
people in.

I'll make it
super easy for you, okay?

All right, I'll go out there
and I'll tell Crash,

be like, "Hey, dude,
she's decided to stay."

He'll be like, "Cool."

"All right, I get that."

Okay, you want
me to do that?

Come on, I would
love to do that.

I can't stay, Max.

I'll get you
some burner phones.

Come on, Max.

Have you heard from her?

No.

Maybe she's gone for good.

If you're not careful,
that's what you're about to be.

You know,
you gotta think about

that apple falling far
from the tree thing.

She's not your tree.

Come on, Max.

Max, mind your own
business, Max.

Come on, Max.

Why don't you like him?

Seriously, what has he ever
really done to hurt you?

For starters, he's...
he's taking you away.

Hey.

Hey, Max.

How are you?

Pretty good.

Aren't you gonna
ask me how I am?

How are you, Crash?

I think you know.

Okay, well,
I'm about done here.

And I know you want to go,
so let's just

leave Max to his job...
No, no, hold on.

Give us one second.

While I was sitting
out there thinking,

I had an idea.

Thought of a way
that you could help us.

Max, you want to
help us, right?

Well, I mean, I know
you want to help Carter.

No, come on, look,
he's done enough.

Let's just leave him...

Yeah, so he can do
this one last thing.

One last thing.

This is easy.

Give us everything
in the register.

Report it as a robbery.

Dude, that's not happening.

Just tell the cops
you had a gun in your face.

Get the hell out
of my store.

Yeah, I'm trying, I just...
I just need the money.

The money.

Crash, what the hell
are you doing?

Carter, the safety's on.

See...

What did you do?

What did you do?

Oh, my God.
Oh, God.

You shot him.

I didn't mean to.

Why?

What did you do?!

Call 9-1-1!

Carter, we have to go.

Why.

I can't stay here,
I have to go...

Help me!
No, I can't stay!

No, we have to go, now!

Help me!

Help me!

9-1-1, what's
your emergency?

My...

My friend has been shot.

Where was he shot?
He's not...

Okay, an ambulance
will be there shortly.

There's so much blood!

They're on
their way, Miss.

What should...
What should I do?

I'm gonna stay with you
until they get there.

Okay.

Max, blink
if you can hear me.

Max...

blink if you can hear me.

I spoke with his parents,
and they've given

their consent
for the surgery.

Uh, he's being prepped now.

But we're not
out of the woods yet.

So, that means he's okay?

I'll know more
after the surgery.

Thank you, Doctor.

Hey.

I think that you
should put this on.

Carter, I...

Don't say it.

Please don't say it.

You know we all
have a long list

of... "should nevers."

What were you doing
with a gun?

We need to speak
with your daughter.

Will you just
stay with me?

I'm not going anywhere.

Come on.

Carter.

We have the surveillance footage
from the mini-mart.

What was your history
with these two young men.

Why were you there?

Where were you planning to go
after you left the mini-mart?

You shot him!

Where's your boyfriend
headed now?

Carter, I didn't mean to!

We gotta go.
Let's go.

Has your boyfriend been
in contact with you?

Why were you at...

Max...

Why did he have a gun?

What was your intent?

Why did you go
into the mini-mart?

We're not
doing this now.

We'll be in touch.

Hey.

Hey.
I'm sorry.

She's not your mother.

She's my mother.

You don't deserve
to be comforted.

This is all your fault.

Taylor.
No!

I don't know what's worse,

you being abducted
or you coming back here.

All you've done
is hurt me

and hurt our family.

No, I will never
forgive you.
