Finding Carter (2014–2015): Season 1, Episode 4 - Now You See Me - full transcript

What, you never heard
of a girl who came home

after being abducted
13 years ago?

Who's that?
That is a blond-haired,

blue-eyed piece
of raw sewage.

I didn't get your name.

Carter.

Here we go.

(whispering)
You like him?

You're smart,
and you're nice.

Beautiful.

(Elizabeth)
You can never have anything
to do with him again.



Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?

♪

♪ You've got me lit up
with a look of love ♪

Whoa... art.

Wow... looks like a real
gallery opening.

Feels like I should be
in the library,

studying for Latin.

I'll meet you
after.

Tay, come on.

Bird has a really big
piece in the show.

Congratulate her
for me.

She told me she wanted you
to be here.

She wants everyone
to be here.



Hey, you're here!

(Ofe)
Hey, Carter's here.

Carter... great,
you're here.

Why does it matter
if I'm here?

We don't know... Bird
said nothing could happen

until you got here.

Let's get some food.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Somebody is dying
to meet you.

So these people
aren't your friends?

No, I'm not really part
of the artsy-fartsy crowd.

Oh... well, we didn't
really have one of those

at the school I went to.

It was-- it was
more gunsy-knivesy.

I'm not really part
of any crowd.

I'm not too fond
of crowds myself.

I feel like if you
pick right, you know,

one's enough.

You're surprisingly
quotable.

I-- I read
a lot of T-shirts.

This is Carter.

Carter, this
is my art teacher,

Ms. Freen.

(Freen)
Hello.

I think it's time.

Are you ready?

I think so.

Everyone...
(claps hands)

if you'll gather round,
please.

I want to congratulate
all my wonderful artists.

One of you chose
to wait

to unveil her...

well, I may be biased,
but I really do think

it is a masterpiece.

Bird.

(applause)
Thank you, Ms. Freen.

Now, I don't know
about "masterpiece,"

but it is a tribute to
a very special friend of mine.

I know most of you
probably know her story.

Carter Stevens.

(applause)

Carter, you're an inspiration
to all of us.

But especially me.

You didn't know this,
but...

you're my muse.

(all murmuring in shock)

(uncomfortable laughter)

What the hell, Bird?

♪ I shut it out of my mind

What, you don't like it?

No, I wouldn't say
I don't like it.

I'd say I hate it.

♪

♪ There you go

♪ There you stay

♪ Keeping low

♪ Never wanna play

♪ You've been
up and down, down ♪

♪ You've been low,
low, low ♪

♪ Pretending
to not feel alone ♪

♪ Pretending to not
feel alone ♪

You guys saw it.
What did you think?

I liked it.

Shut up, you did not.

I did.

Kind of looks like
half her face is rotting away.

You wouldn't put it
in your kitchen.

Oh, that sounds
so cool.

Could we go by the high school
after dinner?

I wanna see it.

Well, you can't, 'cause
I had someone take it down.

Pretty much just
snapped her fingers.

Okay, you don't
understand

because it wasn't
your face on the wall.

(Taylor)
Oh, poor you.

Everyone knows
who you are.

They clap when
they hear your name.

You're a "muse."

And do you think
I like that?

Do you really think I want
that kind of attention?

Well, I just don't really think
you'd like Invisible Land.

All right, you know
what-- get back to me

when the people you thought
were your friends

start treating you
like a career move.

Who wants
to change the subject?

I do.

You know, most people
think that humans

descended from apes.

When, actually,
we just share

a common evolutionary
ancestor.

So the African apes,
like the chimpanzees

and the bonobos
and the gorillas,

they're really
just our cousins.

How cool is that?

You said change
the subject.

That's one of
my favorite subjects.

That's why I was
offering it up.

We can talk about it--

We could talk about that.

Or we could talk about
you two getting a car.

(Taylor)
What?

Um... yes?

(laughing)
Are you serious?

That's awesome...
I can't compete with that.

That's great-- we'll
just look into it

to see how we can
make that happen.

Ah, it'll be used.
Nothing fancy.

No, it doesn't
have to be fancy!

You can start
with this.

Give me a page.

Okay, we'll circle
the ones that we like.

(giggling)
Ah, it's great
to see those two

getting along like that,
isn't it?

Oh, I'm sorry, you care
about what I think?

Because it doesn't
feel like you do.

If I'm not back
in two days,

send a search party.

That's a strange thing
to say in this house.

Strange...
yet typical.

I'm looking for ways
to help them bond.

Carter's been home
a little while.

They still seem
like strangers.

I... thought if they
had to share a car--

It's a great idea...
I agree with you.

But we can't make it
happen right now.

Lizzy, I'm talking
about a clunker.

We can't even afford
the cars we already have.

As it happens,
I'm expecting

a rather large
paycheck.

What? Great!

Why don't you
tell me these things?

I don't even know what
you're working on.

That's my process.

Too many things
have fallen though.

I don't like to talk about
something unless it's real.

And...
this check is real?

This check is real.

When's it coming in?

Soon, very soon.

But the point is,
you don't have to get

bent out of shape
at the idea

of buying
the girls a used car.

I definitely
will feel better

if we have some more money
coming in.

Oh, you'll feel better.
A lot better.

A whole new level
of better.

Okay, stop taunting me.

Why can't
you just tell me?

'Cause it's so much fun
to taunt you.

(students chattering)

I bet you she came back
in the middle of the night

and put it back up.

No, she wouldn't dare.

See? Told ya.

You were saying?

Carter...
Carter, stop!

You have
to go to class.

This is gonna
take all day.

Possibly longer.

It's like this
on every floor.

You haven't
seen the gym.

I don't get it.

Why would she even paint
something so horrible

in the first place?

And now this?

I thought
she was my friend.

(school bell rings)

Hey, you guys go.

I'll help her.

Thank you, Gabe.

You'll never get this done
at the rate you're going.

(paper tearing)

No problemo.

Give me something
hard to do.

(squeak)

Ohh...

Oh, no.

(whispering)
What the hell?

Okay, okay,
I can fix this.

Max?

Hey...
Hey.

Are you doing
our laundry?

Yeah.

I wanted to show you guys
how much I appreciate...

everything.

You know, letting me
stay here and...

That is so sweet.

So-- so keep that
in mind when you--

Um...

this happened how?

Forgot to check
all my pockets.

Some candy
that was--

That's just chocolate.

I just-- I--

Well, you know what?
I can just redo 'em.

No, no, no.
No, no. Thank you.

It's just--
it's better off

if you just stay away

from the washing machine
altogether.

I'm sorry.

(sighs)

It's okay, I know your heart
was in the right place.

Yeah, I'm...

I'm probably not.

What do you mean?

Just clearly not
the ideal house guest,

and I think this is a sign
it's time for me to go.

Well, Max, I really
liked having you here.

I mean, the last five minutes
haven't been great,

but the--
most of the time...

I've gotten totally spoiled
by Taylor's cooking.

And Grant...

he's like
my best friend now.

But I think...

you can stop worrying
about Carter.

I mean, she has friends here,
she has family.

Does she know that?

Not yet.

But she'll figure it out.

(chuckles softly)

I'm really gonna
miss you.

Are you, though?

No.

(chuckles)

Yes.

Whew!

Well, that was tough.

But I think
we got 'em all.

Hey...
Yeah?

Thank you.

Yeah.

You're welcome.

Oh, my...

(sighs)

Bird! Did you see
where she went?

Bird!
Oh, for...

Excuse me...

Did you see where she went,
the girl who put these up?

You can't just
leave them up here.

You're gonna take them
down, right?

Oh, my God.

(whispering)

What's the matter?

Did the world stop revolving
around you for one second?

Bird, I thought
you were my friend.

I just spent
six hours...

I thought
you were mine!

And nothing?
I got a kiss.

A kiss? She kissed you
when she wasn't high?

You're out
of the friend zone.

You're moving the ball
down the field.

No, it was a kiss,
but it wasn't a kiss.

You know what I mean?

Actually, no.

(Bird)
Stop ripping them!

I'll do it.

Stop!
Get off!

No, get off of me,
you bully, you!

(overlapping shouting)

Let me explain myself!
It's humiliating!

What are you
talking about?

Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa!

What are you
talking about?

Do you even know
what that means?

Bird!

All I wanted was
a nice little

student art exhibit.

You girls
are not the show.

Stop making it about you.

And... get this place
cleaned up.

Your work here
is done.

Okay.
You two,
go home.

I'm sorry.

I spent six hours
taking these down.

Don't bitch at me.

I was here all night
putting them up.

Yeah, I'd be
mad at me, too.

Really?

(sighs)

I can't stand up
in these heels.

This isn't good-bye,
though.

Well, heh, I mean,
you're only two hours away.

You can visit us
all the time.

Yeah... dude,
count on it, man.

Like a brother now.

I know, and I'm
like your sister.

(dog barking)

No...

That's not what
you were gonna say?

No, but...
um, close call.

If you think of me
like a brother, we can--

No! No, no, no, no.
I don't.

Not at all.

I do.

I think you're sort of
hurting his feelings, Taylor.

No, no, dude, dude,
don't worry about it.

She's not.

What were you
gonna say?

Just that, uh...

you kinda...
sneaked up on me.

And, uh...

Yeah, that...

Come back.

I will.

Soon.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Why are we all talking
in this weird voice?

(scoffs)

(sighs)

Hey, Carter, it's me.

Sorry, I couldn't stick
around to say good-bye,

but you know I suck
at good-byes.

But, uh, but this
isn't good-bye,

'cause I'll see you soon.

So, um... anyway,
hey, never change.

All right?

Bye.

Hey...

Please move.

It's you, isn't it?

You're blocking my door.
I have to go.

Lori, I know it's you.

Hi, Max.

My disguise du jour.

Obviously,
not a very good one.

Just... really sick
of wearing wigs.

Isn't it dangerous
for you to be here?

It's dangerous for me
to be anywhere.

At least here,
I could see her.

How is she?

She's Carter.

You know, she is
who she wants to be

whenever she wants
to be it.

You know what I mean?

I do.

The thing I'm most
proud of in this world

is being her mother.

I miss being
her mother.

She refuses to call
Elizabeth that.

(laughing)

I'll be that drives
Elizabeth insane.

Nah, she--
she gets it.

She just wants Carter
to be happy.

She let her
keep that name,

even though
it's not her real one.

Yes, it is.

Although she will
have to change it

when we're back together.

What, you mean you're
getting back together?

Of course, Max--
what did you think?

You mean--
but when?

I mean, how are--
how are you gonna do it?

I'm-- I'm working on it.

I-I-- It's taken
longer than I wanted.

I couldn't
believe the red tape

to get a new identity.

Fingers crossed,

I'll have everything set
in the next two weeks,

and she can leave
all of this behind,

like the nightmare
I'm sure it's been.

But she can't know
any of this... okay?

Including that you
saw me.

Not until
everything's ready.

Promise me.

I promise.

Listen, you gotta
be more careful.

I mean,
if I can run into you,

that means anybody can--
that's including Carter.

Yeah, well...

Max, you didn't
exactly run into me.

I kind of...
followed you.

From where?

From the house?

Lori, you were
right outside their house?

I know I'm pushing it,
it's just...

every day is harder.

You think it's gonna
get easier,

but it doesn't.

And if it's like this
for me, what must it

be like for her,
I ju--

I can't stand the thought
of her suffering.

I wouldn't...

I wouldn't say
she's suffering.

It's okay, Max.

(sniffles)

All that matters...

is that
this is almost over.

(sighs)

(birds chirping)

(sighs)

Wow...
(chuckles)

Doesn't look like
anyone even lives here.

Ah, that's the look
my parents are going for.

Tasteful abandonment.

So they're not here?

Ah, let me check.

Ah, money in an envelope
usually means

they're out of town, and...

(sighs)

Judging by the amount,
looks like

they're gonna
be gone for a while.

Um, do you want
to order something?

Sure.

At my house, this
qualifies as a cookbook.

Okay, we have
Chinese...

American...
Italian...

Don't you get lonely?

Lonely?

Well, I have
my two best friends.

Vodka... and fudge.

Okay, you know what?

We're going
to my place.

Bye, guys.

I'll see you later.

(laughing)
Okay, let's go.

♪

Grant, disgusting!

Now nobody can eat
that cheese but you.

That was the plan, Stan.

I'll grate some more.

Hi.

Hi!

Uh, is it okay
if Bird stays for dinner?

Sure...
Yeah, there's plenty.

Hello again.

Now, you're the one
that painted

that picture
of Carter, right?

Yeah.

Oh, that was you?

Oh, that was
so cool.

Can you paint a picture
of me with my face rotting off?

I'd love that so much.

Oh, my first commission.

Hey, thanks for coming
to the show, by the way.

I didn't even think
you knew I was there.

Oh, I knew, I just
didn't want to intrude

with you and J-May.

Who's that?

J-May?
"John Mayer"?

Don't you think Max looks
exactly like John Mayer?

Good for you, girl.
He is super-fine.

Did something happen
with you and Max?

What's going on
with you and Max?

No, nothing, stop!

I liked it better when
he thought I didn't exist.

Oh... mm.
This looks good.

Okay... everyone's responsible
for their own cheese.

(Carter)
Can we eat?
I'm starving.

No, we have to wait
for your father.

No need!
Where have
you been?

I have been dealing
with a transportation issue.

Ohh.

No...

Tay...

No!
No!

(Carter)
Yes? Okay.

(Taylor)
Are you serious?
Let's go see!

I call shotgun.
No, way, let's go see!

Come on.
Oh, my God,
this is...

You're very lucky.

You have a great family.

Yeah, well, you came
on a good night.

So does this mean
that you got that check?

Uh, not yet.

David...
But soon.

Define soon.

Soon is... soon.

Unless "soon"
means "now,"

we have a problem.

This is our bank balance.

Come, take a look.

You see this number?

Is that enough
to pay for the car

that you brought home
tonight?

No.
Okay...

So then, now...

this number no longer
exists.

Now, I can't pay for
our mortgage or electric bill,

credit card bill,
water bill.

So do you see how "soon"
doesn't really help us now?

You don't have
to be sarcastic.

I don't know
what I have to be

to get you to understand
that we can't afford this car.

You have to return it.

I can't, it's used.

I'd get pennies
on the dollar.

Oh, my God.

But if you could
just trust me...

that things are
gonna be fine.

Can you do that?

So here we are again.
No.

You said that I would
never have to make this call.

You don't have to.
And I won't.

I won't, David.

Just give me something,
anything.

Just tell me
what you're working on,

and I won't ask
another thing from you.

What are you writing?

It hurts that you don't
believe in me.

Well, David...

it hurts you think
that belongs

on top of the list
of things that hurt.

(phone beeps)

Hey, Mom...
it's me.

So, have you, uh,
remembered anything else?

Besides me,
your old Pop-Pop?

(chuckles)
No, not really.

Guess I'm kind of
starting over.

She's doing very well.

She's making
all these new friends,

and she's very much
the social butterfly.

Good!

I'm glad to hear that.

This one always
has her nose in a book.

You're only young
once, you know.

(Buddy)
Unless they're like you...

who's forever young.

Oh, please, Buddy.

You know, I'm gonna
give you the name

of my dermatologist.

Mom, I have
a dermatologist.

Ah... oh...

Wouldn't have known.

Well, I'm, uh...

sorry that David
couldn't join us today.

He probably could.

Just afraid
to show his face.

Mom, please.
Sorry, kids.

Sometimes, I'm so
used to speaking my mind,

I forget I'm supposed
to be polite.

There is a lot
to be said, though,

for being free to speak
your mind.

Dad, the kids probably
would love a golf cart ride.

Oh!

Yeah, that sounds fun.

Well, let's do it.

Wow, never thought
I'd see the day

I felt sorry
for Elizabeth.

If you really want
to make Grandma happy,

call her "Gammy."

Well, listen, thanks
for lunch, Gammy.

Oh! "Gammy"?

She called me Gammy!
I heard.

That was your baby name
for me-- Gammy!

You remembered Gammy!

Gammy and Pop-Pop.

Oh, this is
my moment, okay?

You had yours.
Let me have mine.

All right,
let's let Gammy

have her moment.

Mom, that's so sweet.

I am so glad that we
came to see you today.

Oh, me, too.
Me, too.

My head is so dizzy,
I forgot what we

were gonna talk about.

Um...

David and I thought
that the-- the girls

should have a car.

Oh... oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.

Nothing fancy.
Something used.

Oh, don't be
ridiculous.

They're gonna
want something...

kicky and fun.

You know, I'll put
the money in your account,

but you let them
pick it out.

That's very generous, Mom.
Thank you.

And tell 'em
it's from Gammy.

(knock on door)

(typing)

(knock on door)

Come in.

I just wanted to let you
know that it's done.

I even got us
a little breathing room.

She's sending us money
for a new car.

But if she ever asks,
I'll just tell her

that the girls
preferred a car

they didn't have to worry
about if it got dinged.

(sighs)

Well, you'll be able
to pay them back soon.

Please... I'm sorry.

I just need you to stop
saying the word "soon."

Lizzy, I can see
I'm pushing buttons here.

I'm not trying to.

I'm hyper-aware

that I've not been
pulling my weight around here.

Not for a long time.

I've never brought that up.

No, I appreciate that.
I do.

But I've been
working hard, very hard.

Things have fallen through.

I've lost confidence
in myself,

and I know...

I know I became
less appealing to you.

David...
I want
to make it up to you.

It's all I've been
thinking about.

And I'm about to,
very close.

Buying the car,
that's what that was about.

I was feeling good
about myself again.

More than anything,
I was hoping that

that would...

help how you feel
about me.

I'm happy that you feel
good about yourself.

It's just...

the way you talk about me,

it doesn't sound like
I'm your wife.

It sounds like
I'm your accountant.

Okay, well, I, um...

I'm gonna go to work
for a little bit,

clean up some paperwork.

Okay.

I'll see you when
you get home.

(whispers)
Yeah.

(indistinct chatter)

You got it.
You got it.

Thanks man.

(phone ringing)

Hey.

Hey.

You're not supposed
to be here.

Paperwork.

Seems like you want
to be alone.

I do, thanks.

You know,
I just want to say...

before we were anything,

we were friends.

You talked to me.

You still can.

No, no, no.
I can't, I can't.

I can't do this.

It is.

It's over with David.

It's Penne ala Vodka.
Mmm.

She brought the vodka.
Obviously.

(laughter)
It's really good.

Is your family
not joining us?

Both my parents
are at work,

and Grant's holed up
in his room,

binge-watching "Lost."

Oh, do that
kid a favor.

Just go in there and say,
"They're dead."

(laughter)

Save him
a lot of heartache.

(laughter)
God!

I'm not kidding.

So you're like throwing
a whole dinner party for us.

Yeah, thanks, Tay.

I didn't invite anyone.

I... thought maybe
you you did.

Mm, no, it wasn't me.

It was me.
Yeah, it was me.

So this
is your dinner party.

Except it's at our house,
and we cooked.

By "we" you mean me.

(door opens)
Yes.

(laughter)

Hope there's room
for one more.

(all)
Max!

Well, that was a lot better
than the greeting I got at home.

Totally J-May.

(snickers)
What are you doing here?

I just got your
good-bye message.

No, no, I said
it wasn't good-bye.

And it's not, I'm...

actually, I'm moving here.

You are?
Really?
That's so cool.

I don't know, well,
my parents,

they said I could
live wherever I want,

as long as I
support myself,

so I thought,
why not see if there's

a job around here?

And there was.

So I'm a manager now.

Yeah, over at the Quick-n-Easy
off of Route 7.

Wait, they made you
manager already?

Yeah, well, the guy
who owns the place,

he's super nice.

He tells everyone
they're the manager.

Oh...

Where you gonna stay?

I was hoping
I could stay here.

Just for tonight--
I mean, I'll look

for something tomorrow,
if that's cool.

Yeah, sure.
Of course.

Course it's okay.

I want to
sleep over, too.

Oh, um... sure.

Okay.

What?

I feel left out.

What about us?

Do you feel
left out?
Yeah, a little bit.

We all could sleep over.

Um... yeah.

That's be fun.

When did this
become her house?

Seriously,
you'd understand

if you saw her house.

Okay, wait... you still
have to let me set this up.

Okay?
I'm really good at this.

I just need all the sheets
you have in the house.

Oh... they're in
the hallway closet upstairs.

Yeah, I'll show her.

Cool... help me
move the furniture?

Yeah. Ofe?

(Ofe)
Yeah, sure.

Can I talk to you?

Uh... sure.

I'm gonna stay here
and eat this, if that's okay.

It's really good.

Mom is gonna freak out
when she sees this.

Get ready.

Uh...

It just kind of

Max is back.

Hey! Max is back.

Hey.

(Carter)
And, uh...

then Bird wanted
to stay over,

and then everyone
wanted to stay over.

And, uh... well, I guess
now you're all caught up.

Looks like fun.

Not too much noise.

This does
look amazing.

Maybe we should
keep it up all the time.
