The Fosters (2013–2018): Season 3, Episode 1 - Wreckage - full transcript

Previously on "The Fosters"...

And now all I feel is worried

about everything, including my marriage.

So you can go on the tour.

But I want to go to
Idyllwild, if I can get in.

I'm withdrawing my suit for custody.

We can adopt you right away.

We kissed. And now we're like...

More than friends?

Wyatt, please don't tell me you're
acting like this because we broke up.

What the hell do you care?



You should be with your family,
Ana, so should your child.

I think Ana wants to keep the baby.

But I think the only reason
she isn't is because of you.

Have you thought

about keeping the baby? I think you should.

- Are you okay?
- Oh, I think the baby is coming.

One reported fatality.

Requesting medical and backup.

Officer Adams Foster. I'm right near there.

I'm on my way.

Sir, you need to stay back.

All right, folks, just
stay behind the line.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.



Just a bad dream.

- Yeah?
- Go back to sleep.

I miss Jesus.

I miss him too.

You think it's too early to call him?

No.

He might think it's too early,

but I don't.

Hi, love. How are you?

How's Flintwood treating you?

- Let me talk to him.
- Hold on.

Okay, hold on, hold on.
Mama wants to say hi.

Really, woman?

Hey, Bubba. So how's the first week been?

Mama's talking to your brother.

Hey, Jesus,

where are those headphones that
you borrowed before you left?

Well, you're gonna have to mail them back.

Are you serious? You get a padded envelope

and then you just write our address on it.

You do know our address, right?

And then you stamp it and then
you just drop it in the mail.

God, I seriously wonder how
you even function sometimes.

- Mariana, be nice.
- What? He took my good headphones.

- I think you'll survive.
- 'Morning.

Hey, are you excited about the first day?

Uh, yeah, if I ever get there.

I just looked online and there's
a freaking traffic jam on the 5.

I wish I didn't have to commute.

Well, we wish you had
told us you wanted to go

before the dorms got full.
Can't have everything.

Brandon, did you get the oil checked

in the car, like we asked you to yesterday?

- Yes, it's fine.
- Okay, drive safe.

- Promise.
- We're so proud of you,

playing piano again.

Playing piano at the best
music school in the country.

Okay, okay, I gotta go,
or I'm gonna be late.

- Okay, drive safe.
- Yes, you said that.

We can't live in fear, okay?

Oh, first day of summer school.

- Who's excited?
- I am.

Okay, look, I have to go.

I have to get to Ana's.

She's not great, but she's getting better.

Look, I really have to go, Jesus.

I keep forgetting to tell you

that your independent
study at the drop-in center

has been approved by the teacher board.

- Oh, good.
- So just think,

you get that done, you pass history

and you will be all caught up

and you can graduate on
time, with your class.

It's almost like I'm a normal teenager.

- Normal is overrated.
- You know what I mean.

Yes, so now you just have to decide...

What to write my paper on, I know.

Hey, look, Callie wants to talk to you.

Talk to him.

Hey, dude. How's it going?

Okay, I have to get to Victor and Elena's.

- I love you guys.
- Love you too.

Awesome. Yeah.

You think we made a mistake,
letting her play nursemaid and all?

I don't think we really had a choice.

Hey.

Mariana let me in. You ready?

Yeah. We're gonna go

talk to the man who owns the truck.

Okay, well, didn't the
detectives do that already?

Yeah, but we just...

Stef, can I talk to you for a second?

How's that going?

Oh, yeah?

Do you really think you
should be investigating this?

I mean, you're awfully
close to it, you know?

Do you not want to catch this guy, honey...

you know, this person
that pulled a hit-and-run

on our kids? They could have died.

Of course I want him caught, honey,

but that's not what I'm talking about.

Do you not understand

why people run from the
scene of an accident?

It's because they're high or they're drunk

or they are wanted for
another crime already.

This could happen to someone else,

another family. Is that okay with you?

No, of course it's not okay.

Okay, well, it's been three
weeks since this has happened

and we've got nothing.

The case is gonna be closed if
something doesn't break soon.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

- Mike.
- Yeah.

Nice.

Yeah, sure.

You have to come back for my adoption.

I don't know. A few weeks.
Maybe, like, a month.

Promise?

Okay. All right, bye.

That is, without a doubt,

the longest conversation we've ever had.

Okay, I gotta go.

I'm meeting Connor before class.

Oh, hey, have you and Connor decided

what you're gonna do at school?

Are you gonna tell people or... ?

Um, I don't know.

We haven't really talked about it.

Well, don't you think you
should, Bub... talk about it?

You know, whatever you decide,
we've got your back, right?

I don't know. What do you think?

I mean, I already told my dad.

And he's, like, the
scariest person for me, so...

I don't think we should.

Really?

Why not?

It's just...

it's nobody's business, you know?

Brother man, brother
man, you got some change?

Got a nice jacket.

Excuse me, Miss, you got some change?

- You got any change?
- No.

Okay, Princess, thanks.

I'm sorry to bother you. You go
on back to your privileged life.

You don't know me, okay? You
don't know anything about me.

- Oh, you want to bet?
- Yeah.

Hey, get out of here.
You, leave that girl alone.

- Don't you talk to me like...
- I'll get up on you.

I ain't doing nothing,
man. This is a free country.

I don't even know why we have
weather people in San Diego.

Maybe you could become one of those,

when you're better.

I mean, how hard could it be?

I'll get her.

Hi, girl. Hungry?

Do you want to try breastfeeding her?

Oh, no, there's no
point, not with the brace.

I can't get her in the right position.

I pumped earlier. It's in the fridge.

Okay.

You're okay to stay today?

Hi, sweet girl.

Sure you don't want to go
see that boyfriend of yours?

Didn't you say he was leaving soon?

Oh, yeah.

He's going on tour with his band.

But it's fine.

And your moms... they're okay with this,

with you spending all your time here?

Oh, yeah. They're totally fine.

- And they're not mad?
- About what?

That I kept Isabella.

No.

Not at all.

They're happy for you, I promise.

There you go, beautiful.

Good morning.

Hey, so I've got a few projects
I could use your help with.

We need to repaint the chairs from outside,

the metal ones. Would you mind?

- Yeah.
- Okay, great.

I picked up some spray paint on my way in.

Win the storage cabinet before we go home.

Lock it up? Why?

Kids steal it. They huff with it,

or sell it to gangs.

Looks like I left it in
my car. I'll be right back.

Y'all got computers in here?

The center is for foster kids.

I am a foster kid.

Oh.

Okay.

Well, what's your name?

A.J.

Okay, A.J.,

well, the computers are over here.

Is this the registration line?

Yeah.

I'm Brandon.

Ekaterina.

- Ekater...
- Just call me Kat.

Okay.

So what are you st... ?

- Piano performance.
- Oh, yeah? Me too.

- Name and discipline?
- Brandon Foster, piano.

Sorry.

You said Brandon Foster?

Yes.

Oh, wait. Here you are.

But you're not a pianist.
You're here as a composer.

Oh, you're a composer too, huh?

I'm Tony.

I'm sorry, there must be some mistake.

I'm definitely, like, a pianist.

Maybe there's someone I could...

Miss Sanderson, hi. Miss Sanderson.

Oh, Teri, please. Hi, Brandon.

Excuse me, I think there's been a mix-up.

They've got me listed as a
composor and I'm a pianist.

Oh, did you not read
your acceptance letter?

I'm pretty sure it was clear.

I may have seen the word "congratulations"

and started running around the house.

To be honest, I didn't
think your technique was

where it needed to be
for the performance track.

But I did hear something
in that piece you wrote,

something really special.

This is a wonderful program.

I hope you'll give it a chance.

I couldn't help but notice
that you didn't mention

that the truck had been stolen
till the day after the accident.

Why was that exactly?

I already told the cops all this.

Well, you didn't tell these cops.

I used to park it behind the garage

'cause it didn't have the tags

- or the registration or...
- Right.

Yeah, but the key was in
the vehicle when it crashed.

I used to leave the
keys up behind the visor.

I never expected anybody to
steal a piece of junk like that.

I didn't even know it was gone
till my son said something.

Oh, you have a son?

Oh, I don't recall seeing that

mentioned in the reports.
Does he live here?

Oh, no.

He stays with some buddies over on Cliff.

That's why I didn't say anything about him.

Well, if you could give us
any kind of contact information

you have for him, we'd
really appreciate it.

What's his name?

Thought you might be hungry.

Thank you.

So you work here?

Yeah, just part of my privileged life,

along with seven foster
homes and juvie, you know.

I'm sorry.

What's that?

Oh, it's stupid.

I don't think it is. I like it.

Let me see.

Who is that?

It's... it's dumb.

It's this guy that me
and my brother made up

when we got put into the system
and sent to different homes.

He was like our own
private superhero, you know?

Yeah, me and my brother could
have used someone like that.

We'd...

we'd put the symbol in the
windows of our bedrooms,

and that meant we were supposed
to meet at Belmont Park.

Like the Bat signal?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Where is your brother now?

Okay, well, if you need
anything, just let me know.

What?

You're so good at that, Callie.

You're so good with the
kids who come in here,

getting them to open
up. It's pretty amazing.

Now I really hope

that when this independent
study of yours is over,

that you'll keep working here.

You've got a real gift.

Who is that?

Uh, it's me actually.

I wrote it for my audition.

Oh, really?

It's lovely.

You think so?

'Cause I, you know... I... I thought
I was coming here as a pianist

and they put me in the composing track.

So I don't know what I want to do now.

Really?

That's not a demotion, you know.

Composers are the real
rock stars around here.

I mean, think about it.

Nobody remembers the guy who played Mozart

in front of the king,

but everybody knows Mozart.

So the stage will be set up here,

the refreshments here, where
we can keep a good eye on them.

And over here will be the sort of
hangout area. Does that sound good?

Perfect. Great work.

And day one of summer school?

Off without a hitch, as far as I can tell.

It's great that we were able
to hire those extra teachers.

Thank you, Kilfer grant.

Speaking of the Kilfer grant,

one of the benefits that
comes with it is a trip for two

to D.C. for their national conference.

And it's coming up,
like, early July, I think.

I hear it's incredible. The most amazing

progressive thinkers in
the business are all there.

So can you come?

Um...

Okay.

When are things gonna stop
being weird between us?

I don't even know what
that little kiss was about.

I'm straight.

I was married.

It was nothing. Right?

Yes, absolutely.

Okay, good.

So can we just go back to how things were?

Yes.

And you'll think about the trip?

I'm telling you, we'll have a great time.

I promise.

So, as you know,

composers are paired with a
musician for their magnum opus...

the piece that you'll be working
on together all summer long.

The big news is, this year,

the piece deemed best by the faculty

will be performed with the
Los Angeles Philharmonic

at Disney Hall.

Oh my god, I hope I get Kat.

She's, hands down, the best one here.

Okay, so here we go.

Mischa, you're working with Andre.

Tony, you'll be with Jin.

And, Brandon, you'll be working with...

Wait, no. Yes.

Right, you'll be working with Kat.

- Yes, Kat.
- I'm sorry,

I'm one of the most
accomplished musicians here.

There's no way you're pairing
me with him. He's brand new.

I'm s... I... I thought

you liked my piece. You said it was lovely.

Yeah, I was being nice. Sure, it's lovely,

for a six-year-old.
You're not ready for this.

I've been coming to this camp every
summer for the last five years.

And I'm certainly not gonna lose
my chance of playing Disney Hall

because I got partnered with some amateur.

Brandon, please forgive Kat. She's
very passionate about her work.

And I'm sorry, Kat, but these
partnerships aren't up for discussion.

I, for one, am very excited

about what you and Brandon
come up with together.

- But...
- End of conversation.

Kieran, you'll be working with Reese.

Christian and Kay, and Timothy...

Okay, so your dad's coming
to pick you up, right?

Do you want me to wait?

No, I'm good.

Okay, I'll call you.

Hey, what are you guys... ?

Daria signed us up to decorate
for the party tomorrow.

Can you just tell me one thing?

Why? Why would you break up with me?

I don't get it.

You know what? Just forget it, okay?

Why don't you just tell her?

Tell her what?

That you're into Jude.
It's completely obvious.

I... I just...

I can't.

Hey. Come in.

Is that a baby book?

Is there something you want to tell me?

No, it's for Isabella.

Figured.

I mean, it would be kind of
hard for you to be, you know...

because we haven't, you know...

So are you avoiding me?

I mean, is that why you're spending
all your time with the baby?

No.

Not really.

I mean, I have to do something
all summer too, right?

And you're gonna be gone. And
Ana really needs the help, so...

And that's why I've barely seen
you at all in the last week?

You're coming to the party
tomorrow at school, right?

Yeah, if I can.

Mariana, it's the start of the tour.

Look, I'll be there as soon as Elena
gets home from the bakery, okay?

Okay.

What am I gonna do without
these lips for three whole weeks?

I have no idea.

Don't forget I'm only here till noon today.

Oh, yeah. That's right. Why is that again?

Well, I decided that I'm doing

everything in my power this summer

to act like a normal teenager, so I'm going

to the stupid Anchor Beach
end-of-the-year party thing.

Oh, yeah? Where are they having it?

On the beach, like, right
in front of the school.

Wow, nice.

We never had any parties
like that where I went.

They were like, "school's
over. Get out of here."

Yeah, I know. I still can't
believe I go to school...

Callie, everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

Hey. Hey, A.J., wait up.

Look, you can't sleep in there, okay?

But if you ran away from your foster home,

or if you need anything,
I can help you, okay?

I won't get you in trouble, I promise.

Hey, sorry I'm so late. The bus never came.

I ended up having to steal Jude's bike.

Elena, you can get going! I'm here!

She left already.

Wow.

I went to the doctor yesterday

and he told me I could take off my brace.

Said I need to take it easy,

but I can start doing normal things again,

for a few hours.

Well, do you need me to take her?

She probably needs to be changed.

Nope, just changed her.

Well, you should probably
lift her head a little bit.

Her neck is...

Do you need any help?

Okay, well,

be careful. I don't want
you to hurt yourself.

You know what? I'm fine.

I've got this. Thank you.

Sorry.

Listen, I really appreciate
you coming all this time,

but I think I need to spend

some time alone with Bella, okay?

Okay.

Don't you have a school party today?

Go.

You know, go see that
boyfriend before he leaves.

Give him a reason to miss you.

It's my dad's truck, okay?

I don't know what you
think I got to do with it.

Why would I steal it? I got my own car.

And a suspended driver's license.

Maybe you just didn't feel like
driving your own car that day.

Look, what do you want me to
say? I didn't take the truck.

I haven't driven that thing

in, I don't know, a few years.

Okay.

You don't mind hanging
out for a few minutes?

Thank you.

You see that cut above his eye?

Looks to be about three weeks
old to me, and totally consistent

with someone who might have hit
their head on a steering wheel.

- I checked his prints.
- And?

They don't match the ones
on the steering wheel.

You're kidding.

There's no way it could be him.

- Okay.
- Also they're sending the cars to the junkyard,

so if you need anything out of the
Volvo, this is your last chance.

I quit my coding class

and I gave up my whole
summer for her and the baby,

and now it's like she
doesn't even want me around.

I'd be willing to bet
that's not entirely true.

Well, you would lose that bet.

And stupid mat is leaving.

Probably gonna forget all about me
and hook up with all those groupies.

You think someone's
little sister has groupies?

He is not gonna forget about you.

Well, I'm gonna make sure of that.

I'm gonna have sex with him.

Wait, you're gonna lose your virginity?

Are you sure you're ready for that?

♪ I don't like the way
you're talking to me ♪

♪ any other day it
would have been okay ♪

Shouldn't you be at Idyllwild?

Yeah, I didn't go today.

Couldn't miss the party, right?

♪ Just don't call me, just
don't call me baby, baby... ♪

I'm not really sure it's for me.

What? Really?

They put me in as...

Wait, Brandon, sorry. I'll be right back.

Sorry I crashed your party.

How did you even know I was here?

You and that guy were
talking about it this morning.

- I didn't know where else to go, so...
- What happened?

I was looking for a place
to sleep tonight, you know,

someplace safe, and a
couple guys jumped me.

You...

you said you could help me.

Yeah. Yes, I will.

But I can't really do that

unless I know exactly what's going on.

I ran away from my foster family.

They was pretty cool
and all, but I ran away

'cause I was supposed to
meet up with my brother.

He aged out a couple of years
ago, so he's been on his own.

But we were supposed to
take off and get out of town.

We had this whole plan, but
when I was supposed to meet him,

he never showed up.

Okay, what if we called
your foster parents?

They always told me, "you run one time...

that's it. We're done."

Okay, so if you can't go back,

we can get you emergency placement.

But where are you gonna sleep tonight?

You got it?

- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, so
you two are gay for each other?

Yeah. So what? You got
something to say about it?

No, man. It's all good.

- I just heard and I thought...
- You thought what?

- Nothing, man. It's cool.
- Then get out of my face.

- I knew it wasn't me.
- Shut up, Daria.

- I thought we weren't gonna say anything.
- Don't be mad at Connor.

It wasn't him. It was me.

- What?
- Well, I thought I was helping.

I thought you were the one
who didn't want to come out,

so I figured nobody was gonna care.

I'm sorry.

It's not like anyone cares if you're gay.

I'm not gay, okay?

Wait, Jude. Jude.

Do you like the new stuff?

The new songs, I mean?

I do like the new stuff.

But I like other stuff too.

Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

And I was thinking

maybe we could do some other stuff tonight.

I mean, you're leaving soon and...

On the beach?

Why not? It's romantic.

It's kind of public.

Not up here.

- It's your last night.
- Yeah, I know,

but, Mariana, I don't want to do it.

I mean, I want to do it,

but not like this.

It's our first time, and...

we gotta get on the road.

We've got a midnight show in L.A.

I'm sorry.

I should probably get
back, help load up the van.

Okay.

I think I'm just gonna...

Okay,

well,

I'll see you in a few weeks.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you too.

Okay.

Nice set.

I mean, the new guy you got

could use a little finesse.

It's kind of like watching a bear

play keyboard, but...

We can't all be classical
pianists, you know.

Right. No kidding.

Turns out, I'm not one either.

They made me a composer at Idyllwild.

I'm not even there to play.

Is that... is that a bad thing?

I mean, it's not what I wanted.

Okay, sure,

but you're a great composer, Brandon.

You love writing songs.

Why are you acting like this is

some kind of epic fail or something?

'Cause the kids there are
totally out of my league.

Is this what happens

when everything just
comes naturally to you...

you just give up the
minute something gets hard?

Besides, I'm sure you're
better than you think.

You guys aren't even playing my songs.

Out of respect, Brandon.
They aren't ours to play.

Well, I think you should...

play them, I mean.

If I'm gonna be a composer,

I'd better get used to other
people playing my songs,

even bear paws over there.

What are you doing here?

Well, you know how to throw a party, huh?

Well, I was lonely.

Stefanie Marie Adams Foster,

you haven't had a night alone in that house

for the last 10 years.

I don't for one second
buy that you got lonely.

What is it?

I'm a mess.

I'm trying to hold it together.

I'm trying to... I'm trying to find out

who the hell did this and...

they told... they said someone was dead.

They said there were reported fatalities.

And when I walked up and I saw the Volvo,

it was crushed like a beer can.

I thought...

I thought we lost them.

I thought my babies were gone.

And I thought I'd never
be okay, ever again.

I just wanted to see you.
I just wanted to see you.

Oh.

My love.

My sweet, sweet love.

It's all gonna be okay.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I go to school here, remember?

Why aren't you back at the... ?

Not really in the mood.

Yeah, me neither. Do you want a beer?

Oops, I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

It's good for the kids to
see that you're a human being.

Not some education reform monster?

Yes, exactly.

Speaking of education reform,

I...

I can't go to the conference.

Really? Oh, no.

- Are you sure?
- I am.

I... I have just

too much going on at home right now

for me to even consider
planning a trip away.

So...

I hope you understand.

Of course.

Of course I do.

You'd better leave the lights off.

Right. Smart.

Please don't, like, mess with anything.

I won't, I promise.

Thank you.

I should... I should thank you.

It probably sounds dumb,

but I have to write

this paper for my independent study

and I had no idea what to do.

But now I think I'm gonna do it

on what happens to kids when
they're separated in the system,

- like you and your brother.
- Glad I could help.

Okay, well, I'll be back
first thing in the morning

to open up, so...

'Night.

'Night.

So you don't miss her...

your mom?

I do sometimes, but...

Out of sight, out of mind, you know?

Okay, how do you do that?

How do you get your hair to fall like that?

It's softer than mine.

What do you do?

Do you use some special
conditioner or something?

No, it just comes out of my head like this.

It's just so pretty.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I've been looking all over for you.

You know, you could have made it

a little easier on me, all right?

I am on crutches.

So I don't...

I don't get it.

What do you mean, you're not gay?

Do you not like me?

No, of course I like you.

Do you not like me like that?

No, I do. I just...

my whole life I've always
been labeled as something...

"the new kid," or "the foster kid,"

or "the kid with the dead
mom." And I'm sick of it.

I mean, why can't I just be Jude?

I just want to be Jude for a while.

Does that mean you don't
want to be my boyfriend?

No.

Okay.

Okay, good. 'Cause I thought...

No, I promise.

Another bad dream?

No, just thinking.

Everything okay?

Absolutely.

You know, I was doing a
little thinking myself.

Uh-oh.

I know you're gonna say no,

but I think that we should

plan a little trip, just you and me.

We could really use a getaway.

I think it's a terrific idea.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, wherever shall we go?

- The Greek Isles?
- Oh.

Capri?

I think Catalina is a
little more our budget.

I like Catalina.

I do too, as long as you're there.

Are you sure we can afford it?

We'll make sure it's a priority.

Deal?

Yeah.

What? What are you looking at?

Oh, I think our bathroom is leaking again.

I thought the plumber took care of that.

He did.

Be careful.

Just hold on.

What... ?

- Oh my god!
- Oh!

So much for getting away.

It is kind of shaped like Catalina.

So?

Hmm?

Did you, you know... ?

Mariana, come on, I have
to go. Can you just tell me?

Did you have sex last night or not?

Yeah.

Oh my god.

Okay, I want to hear all about it,
but I have to get to the center.

But I will talk to you tonight, okay?

What are you doing
here? I thought you quit.

I'm not going anywhere,
except for Disney Hall.

Oh, and you might want to start
working on your quadruple trills.

The new piece I'm working
on has got a bunch of 'em.

See you in class.

Oh, and for the record,

I'm sure you're used to pitching your fits

and getting what you want.

But I'm the oldest of five kids.

I've seen every kind
of tantrum ever thrown.

I don't scare easy.

A.J.

A.J.

Hey, what are you doing here so early?

What happened to the spray paint?

Callie, what's wrong?

Uh,

I did something really dumb.

I... I let someone sleep here last night.

Damn it, Callie.

Why?

Why would you do that?

It's such a bad judgment call.

You know, I don't even know what to say.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah,

I'm sure you are.

I need this, Rafael, to graduate.

You should have thought
of that before you did it.

You're fired, Callie.

Go home.
