Finding Carter (2014–2015): Season 2, Episode 2 - Shut Up and Drive - full transcript

I couldn't get pregnant.

And we decided to look
for an egg donor.

(Lori)
They chose me.

I am your real mother.

(panting)
Ah!

Lori came to the house?

She gave me
this picture of you.

I know things, David did
a number on both of us.

She said
something strange.

What did she
mean by that?

(clock ticking)



(alarm sounding)

Tay?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

I don't know.

Been up all night
thinking about everything.

Yeah, yesterday was insane.

Maybe we should
take today off,

you know, just, like,
stay home and recover.

No, no, I think that we
should just move on.

You know, not dwell.

I have a lot
of stuff to do

and I don't want to
fall behind.



I have an e-contest
this morning.

Okay.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'll see
you downstairs.

(sighing)

I've got it
under control.

Look, you--

You knew eventually
it would come to this.

The truth has
to come out.

Are you threatening me?

(clock ticking)

I just don't understand
how she found us.

I don't know, Linds.

It was
18 years ago.

But we signed
a confidentiality contract.

I'm starting to think that we
need to sue that clinic.

I just want to put
all this behind us.

Every bit of it, finally.
Well, we're almost there.

The FBI's interrogating
her tomorrow.

Are you gonna be there?

I don't know.

I'm not sure how
much more I can take.

She's delusional.

Like, that thing that
she said about...

you knowing things that
I would want to know.

Made up things from the mind of
a very disturbed person.

I'll see you downstairs.

Hey.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

It's gonna take some time
to get your balance back.

Dad...

There's this one
thing that happened,

it's been kinda
bothering me.

Tell me.

When I woke up
in the motel room,

Lori was on the phone
with someone.

I think someone
was helping her.

Like who? Someone you knew before?
I don't know.

It sounded like
someone she knew.

And...

Like someone who knew me.

What makes you think that?

I don't know,
it's the way she sounded.

Really familiar, like she knew
them really well or something.

They already knew everything
that was going on.

I don't know who she
was talking to, I'm sorry.

It wasn't you,
was it, Dad?

Me?

Oh, my God, no.

I was looking
for you, Carter.

I was frantic,
like everyone else.

Okay.

God, I can't stop
thinking about it.

You've been
through a lot.

Yeah.

We all have.

(toaster rattling)

(Elizabeth) Hey. Hey.

Do you want
anything else?

Some eggs?

No, I'm good.

But thank you. Oh, we
have stuff for waffles.

I haven't had waffles
since I was, like, ten.

Oh.

Do you want
a ride to school?

No, Mom, stop acting weird.
It's freaking me out.

Oh.

The last 72 hours have
been pretty weird.

I guess I'm
a little off-kilter

Weird is kind of an
understatement.

I think it'd be great if we
all just got back to normal,

you know, stay on track.

Great policy.

Hey.

You sleep okay?

Yeah, you?

So-so.

Sorry.

Hey.

(Max) Hi. Morning.

Hey, Armadillo.

(game beeps off)

Hey, isn't it a little
early for murder music?

Not in this house.

Are you okay?
Mhm.

You're here, Taylor's here,
Max is here.

That crazy woman's
going to jail, right?

Mm-hmm.

Then I'm good.

(David) Anyone need a ride?
Good.

Yeah.
How about you guys?

No, I'm taking him
to physical therapy.

I thought you had econ.

Yeah, but I can take
him and still make it.

Oh, that's okay,
I can find my own way.

It's not a big deal.

You sure?
I really don't want you to--

Yeah, Tay, don't worry,
I got this.

Fine.

Take him.

Tay, cool?

Yeah, totally cool.

All right,
see the rest of you later.

(Elizabeth)
Okay.

Bye.
Bye.

See you later.
Bye.

Mom?
Yeah?

Are you seeing
Lori today?

No, but tomorrow, she's being
interrogated by the FBI.

You think I could
come to that?

What? No.
Absolutely not.

Why? Because I don't want
you anywhere near her.

What?
Is there...

something you
don't want me to hear?

Yes, her voice.

It's in the hands
of the FBI, okay?

You're not going,

There's nothing more you
need to know from Lori.

Okay.

Bye.

Come on, Max.

It's the AP
Microeconomics paper.

Oh.
Here it is.

Axiomatic theory of expected
utility equilibrium strategies

in convex compacts.

Uh, are you the one who said we
should take this class? Yes.

Okay, so, you really want
to finish this project?

'Cause really,
it's kind of,

you know, lost its
luster for me.

We have to finish
this project.

It's more than half our
final grade.

I didn't think you'd
even be here today.

Why?
Stuff to do.

Hey, I don't judge,
you know that.

People handle issues
the way they want.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to sound
defensive, I just--

Everyone thinks the world should
stop spinning, I don't get it.

Maybe they're just
trying to process.

Well, this
is my process.

And I'm done.

Oh, I'm... early.

I don't get why my mom won't let
me hear Lori's interrogation.

She just doesn't want you
to see how messed-up Lori is.

Okay, but come on, Max.

She wasn't always
this messed up.

Remember, you knew her.

I don't know, maybe it's
everything she's been through

since I got back here.
Still.

It doesn't explain why she took
you in the first place.

Yeah.

Look, I know she's
done awful things.

Believe me,
I know she has, but

I just want
to know why.

Because okay, that stuff
with the egg donor thing,

there's so much
more to the story

than anyone
ever told me.

And, like, why did she want to
meet our mom and dad after?

She knew what she was getting
into, she was an egg donor.

It's not like she
put us up for adoption.

I don't know,
I just...

I feel like there's
more to the story.

I think Elizabeth
is just trying to protect you.

Yeah, but that's
the thing.

Protect me from what?

Liz?
Hey.

You did good, how you
handled the whole thing.

Thank you.

It's just the family
fallout, you know?

Yeah, well, kids are
stronger than we think.

They'll survive.

It's just her.

Lori.

It's over but she's still
stirring the pot.

What do you mean?

Nothing.

I was thinking I'd go to
the interrogation tomorrow,

save you the trouble.

Cool?

Yeah.

It's cool.

It's very cool.

Thank you, Kyle.
Yeah.

♪♪

Hey.
Oh, my God.

Hey.
It's about time.

Hey.

Hey.

Okay. Seriously.
Okay, seriously.

So we all agreed, when you were
gone, we were all terrified.

Yesterday was
beyond intense.

The whole news blackout thing?
Freaky.

Okay, who's in charge
of that stuff?

Bird, I'm trying to say
something here.

Okay, sorry, go ahead.
Okay, I'll say it.

While you were gone,
we realized

the world would
suck without you in it.

I mean, we already knew that,

but a kidnapping really has
a way of bringing it home.

(Bird) Which is why I have a
remedy for all that ails us.

You always do.
Let me guess.

A welcome back Carter party.

A fiesta, a fête, a festive
gathering of kind folks

who are relieved
and grateful that you're back.

That's really sweet, Bird,

but I don't know if I can
deal with a whole--

No, you don't even have
to lift a finger,

because this happens
to be one of my strengths.

Throwing parties and hiring
people to do all the work.

Okay.

(Gabe) Shall we? Yes.

Welcome back.

I know.

I know, but...

It's cool.

Do you need a ride?

No, I don't need a ride.

Dude, you want me
to call the cops?

No, just--

Just listen.
I--

I need you to know that
I know what I did.

I made a mistake.

That's an understatement.

Here, but I-- Look.
I'm not that guy anymore.

What, the guy who tried to run
away with my best friend?

Or the guy who asked me to give
him money and then shot me?

Which guy aren't
you anymore?

Neither.
You'll see.

I don't want to see.

I want you to
leave me alone.

How the hell did you
even get out of jail?

It's legit,
I have this uncle--

Forget it, forget it.

I don't want to know.

Stay away from me.

I get that, but I need you
to understand--

Dude, stay away from me!

♪♪

Apparently, the FBI
does transcripts

of all of their
interrogations.

I wonder if I could get
a copy of Lori's.

I don't get why you keep pushing this.
Okay, I am telling you,

she was on the phone
with someone in the motel room.

It was weird.
So what?

She was in cahoots with someone
and they kidnapped you together?

Maybe, yeah.

Look, I don't know
what's going on, okay?

I just...

I know there is more to this
than my parents are telling me.

Sweetie, what you have
is called idée fixe.

Okay, you're maniacally
preoccupied with an idea that

has no basis in reality.

Did you just call
me a maniac?

I guess I did.

What, you don't believe me?

I believe that you went through
some hideous trauma and you need

as much drink, dance and love
as I can dole out.

Thanks, B.

You know I love you, right?

Like, no joke.

(laughing)
Good.

Now, get ready to party

and stop thinking
about the FBI, okay?

Okay.

Hey, hey!
Put the keg over here.

♪♪

(knocking)

You said Lori snuck
into your house

and took this
picture of you.

She did.

I don't believe you.

Is this about the phone call
in the motel?

No, not just that.

Dad, there has to be
a reason she's doing this.

Why would she take me twice?

Why would she risk it?

And why did she
suddenly decide

she needed to tell us
she was the egg donor?

I know her, Dad,
she is getting at something

and I don't know
what it is.

Lori is mentally ill.

Whatever led to her extreme
behavior is something

a psychiatrist
is gonna have to solve.

Okay, but she didn't act crazy
when I was growing up.

Honey, I don't know what
made Lori the way she is.

Dad, I feel like you're not
telling me something.

People don't just
do things for no reason

and I am trying to figure
this all out right now

so I can move on
with my life, finally.

And you're not helping me.

Please help me.

Tell me the truth.

Was there something
between you and Lori?

Yes.

Yes, there was.

Your mother and I were going
through a tough time.

We weren't communicating.

I had a one-night stand.

That's it.

It was the biggest
mistake of my life.

And then what happened?

Nothing.

I told her I'd made
a mistake and...

And I could never
see her again.

And I didn't...

until you were found.

(sighing)
Why didn't you say anything?

After I got back.

You must have known
it was the same woman.

I knew it was the same woman,
but I also knew I would do

anything to make
sure our family

was finally gonna
stay together.

Does Mom know?

No.

Dad, she has to know.

You have to tell her.

Carter, look at
what your mother,

what all of us have
been through.

Learning that I had an affair
while the two of you were babies

and that it turned
out to be Lori.

That would destroy her.

You understand that.

I know your mom
better than you do.

She is very
fragile right now,

more fragile
than you know.

Okay, but now
I know this.

Now I'm hiding
this from her, too.

That makes me a liar.

You're not a liar.

You're holding
sensitive and...

upsetting information
and until the time is right,

when it makes sense for her
to hear it, from me.

But until then,
this is between us.

You have to trust me
on this.

This is not your
burden to carry.

Ow. Mm.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Hey.

I thought we could
do taco night.

What do you think?

Mom, you don't
have to cook.

Sure I do.

That's what moms do.
It's a mom thing.

Well, we don't adhere to
stereotypes in this house.

Plus, cooking's a Taylor thing,
not a you thing.

What's up?

I just know that
I almost lost you again.

It's hard for me to believe
that the nightmare's over.

Yeah, I know.
I can't stop thinking about it.

That's another reason
why I don't want

to go to that interrogation,
I don't want to hear

another word that
woman has to say.

Okay, but-- She's just
gonna rant and rave,

but none of it
is going to be

based on any kind
of reality.

Which is?

Which is...

That you and Taylor
and Grant are my children.

You're my kids.

There's no other
fathers or mothers.

Nobody but us.

Just your dad
and me

and you kids.

Nothing else matters.

(knocking)

Come in.

♪♪

Hey.
Hey.

Mom's trying
to cook again.

She's acting weird.

I was thinking...

Maybe you could
talk to her.

Me?

Why?
Because she's worried.

She wants to make sure we know
she's our real mom, okay?

No one else. Of course
she's our real mom.

She's our only mom.

Well, technically,
Lori is our--

Please do not say
that woman's name.

Fine.

But will you talk to her?

Reassure her? I have
homework to do.

She'll be fine, Carter.

She knows
she's our mom.

Just move on.

Hey.
Hey.

Where have you been?

Just taking a nap.

How was physical therapy?
Not what I expected.

What do you mean?

I am feeling stronger
already, definitely.

You coming to
Bird's tonight?

I wish I could.

Ofe and I have
to finish a project.

Oh, couldn't you do it

Will you text me?
Mm-hmm.

You know, if I had a girlfriend
living at my house,

You have to have
a girlfriend first.

I got plenty
of girlfriends.

I got ladies
all over this town.

I do, I have
so many ladies.

Truth?

Yeah, of course.

It's not really
that great.

Why?
Max just seems...

I don't know, different.

Well, the bullet did miss
his heart by a hair.

Yeah, well...

That doesn't really
address the other stuff.

Like, tonight
is a perfect example.

I'm here studying and he's
at a party getting high.

'Cause that's
what Max does.

Yeah, but...

Look, I've got one
parent who's a jock

and one who's a total braniac,
but they're good together.

You don't have to be
the same to be in love.

It just feels like

things between
us are different.

Everything is different.

Well.
But you know what?

I'd like to talk more
about me again,

that, because--

Oh, more--
Yeah.

Do you really think you can
forgive him for what he did?

I think it'll be hard.

It'll take time, but...

But I can't hold
onto hating him.

That's gonna
make me sick.

Do you think
I should forgive him?

It's up to you.

All I know is that
if I keep hating him,

then he'll win.

He'll have taken all my power
and left me a victim.

And I'm not a victim.

So you lost your temper.

You were upset.

If I'd been there,
I would have gone crazy, too.

I don't know what to do.

You know, I love him,
but I...

I can't handle
what's happening.

I just need--

I need things to
go back to normal.

Why can't everyone just...
stay themselves?

When you feel better,
maybe the two of you

should just talk
about where you are, you know?

You're in different
places right now,

but maybe you'll be back
in a groove soon.

I hope so.

I love Max.

I think you're
good together.

Thanks.

It's okay.

It's me.

Hey.
Hey.

I just want to say,
I should have told you

that Crash
was out of jail.

I was wrong.

I apologize.

Thanks.

I just wish I'd have
known he was out.

Yeah.

There's a lot of things that
I should have told you.

You know when you
were kidnapped,

the worst thing about it

was just not knowing what
happened to you.

Were you injured,
were you...

But even if it was the worst
news in the world,

all I wanted
to know was the truth.

The truth.

♪ Who's with us now ♪♪

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

Me too.

And I'm really sorry
for upsetting you

and for not checking in with you
about the whole Crash thing.

I could have done that.
No, no.

I should have done that.

You don't have to
check in with me.

It just feels like,
I don't know,

we're in two different
places or something.

I know.

I thought I was
a forgiving person

and this whole Crash
thing is just--

Yeah, we can
talk about that.

I don't want to
talk about it.

Taylor, we are different.

♪♪

That's what makes us great.

Maybe.

But maybe not.

I...

I don't know.

I think it'd probably
be good if...

... if we broke up
for a while.

Right?

I guess if...

I really love you, Max.

But you need to do your thing
and I need to do mine.

Taylor.
No, I just...

I just wanted you to know
how I was feeling.

Good night.

(sighing)

Everything okay?

No.

Everything is not okay.

I can't tell Elizabeth
about Lori, Carter,

I already told you why.

Okay, but...

You are not
giving her a chance

and you're not giving yourself
a chance to get past this.

Dad, this is the lie that
is going to destroy us.

Not my abduction,
not the egg donor stuff,

this one.

You can't just bury
something like this.

If you tell her now,
she might forgive you.

She won't.
How do you know that?

Because I can't
forgive myself.

It's unforgivable.

(sniffling)

Dad, what happened?

Tell me the whole story.

(Lori) I was having an
affair with David Wilson

when Carter and Taylor
were a year old.

What is your relationship
with Elizabeth Wilson?

Didn't have one.

I only knew what David
told me during the affair.

Which was?
He was unhappy.

He wished he'd
never married her.

She destroyed
his self esteem.

Made his life miserable.

How did you meet
the Wilsons?

I met David in the park.

I don't know
where she was.

He was always the one
with the girls.

Hi, looks like you could
use an extra hand.

Yes, actually.

If you could...

Ooh.

Oh, she's gorgeous.

They both are.

(David) When I asked her
if she lived near us,

she said she was a hospice
worker down the road.

Was that true?

To be honest,
I have no idea.

(Lori)
He was miserable.

That's pretty much all
we talked about at first.

But I knew right away,
he needed someone to love him.

I should have known
something was wrong.

She was very needy
and I was vulnerable.

Because you weren't
getting along with Mom.

We were disconnected.

On Elizabeth's birthday,
they got into a big fight.

We were supposed to have
a weekend away,

but your mom
and I had a huge fight.

She couldn't bear the thought
of being alone with him

and went to her
parents' house.

I called.
I tried to talk to her,

but Joan answered and said
your mom needed space.

Is that when you got
together with Lori?

So he called me and said we should meet.
He called you.

I went to the local bar
and there she was.

Waiting for you?
I don't know.

I wouldn't put it past her.

The bar, he just unloaded.

I mean, the guy
was so unhappy.

He just went on and on about
what a bitch his wife was.

I was unhappy about not getting
along with your mother.

We were awful to each other.
It sounds horrible.

(Lori) It seemed pretty
obvious after that night

that everything would
just fall into place.

Me, him, the girls.

So are you claiming that you
had planned, at this time,

to kidnap one
of these children?

God, no.
The plan was for him

to leave her
and bring the girls.

I thought that was the last
I'd ever see her.

Did you think she was planning
on taking me then?

She never even
mentioned you

or Taylor except to say
you were beautiful,

which you were, but you
have to remember,

this was two years
before you were taken.

We had moved on.

Dad.
You have to tell Mom.

You just do.

I can't.

Too much has happened.

Every second this lie goes on,
Lori is winning.

She is getting exactly
what she wants.

But maybe if this
is all out in the open,

maybe all of us
could start to...

(sighing)

to get on with our lives.

What if your mother
can't forgive me?

What if she can?
