The Fosters (2013–2018): Season 4, Episode 3 - Trust - full transcript

Previously on The Fosters...

So, we've swept the entire school.

No sign of the Stratos kid anywhere.

I burnt down the warehouse, so
they're gonna send me to jail anyway.

You just have to put the gun down.

Lena: I want to get bars on the windows,
whatever it takes to make us safe.

Today's been kind of intense, you know.

I don't want you to think that we're
like starting up something again.

Maybe there's something
going on with Jude and Taylor?

Daria: He's just doing this
'cause he wants attention.

- _
- He's not straight.



Why you being such a douche?

- Moms know.
- How?

I told them.

Callie, they're not gonna unadopt you.

You had sex with your foster sister?

- But I'm not coming home.
- What are you gonna do, B?

I'm gonna live here, with Cortney.

If we had told you,
what would you have done?

Callie, your... Lena and I have

talked a lot about everything.

And, uh, this is a
really hard thing to say.

We've made a decision.

What happened between you and Brandon,

it was an incredibly selfish thing to do.



- (stammers) But I... we...
- And the lying...

I mean, how are we supposed
to get past all of that?

(stammers)

- I'm really sorry, and...
- Lena: Honey.

- I know what we did was wrong...
- The point is,

you betrayed our trust,

and that's not something
that can be repaired.

So...

We've decided to reverse your adoption.

(knocking on door)

We, uh... we asked your social
worker to come and get you.

She's right here. Come on in.

Mom?

Hello, Callie.

(gasps, pants)

(sighs)

Let's get going. Get
your stuff. We gotta go.

- You want some fruit, Mariana?
- No, I'll get some at lunch.

Um, Callie, we would

like it if you'd stay
for a second, please.

Listen, uh, you know,
if there are any rumors

or gossip at school,
just to ignore it, right?

Stef: The best way to
handle stuff like this

is just to let it go,
you know, rise above.

Try to respond to that kind of thing

and often it'll just add fuel to the fire.

Yeah, okay.

- Is that it?
- Yeah.

- How about you?
- Hmm?

- You doing okay?
- Yeah.

Okay, I will be there
all day if you need me.

- Okay, thank you.
- Okay?

Um... did you, uh...

Were you able to get
any of those quotes back

from the alarm companies?

I'm still waiting to hear.

Okay. Just let me know, okay?

I've got to get going.

- Love you.
- Okay.

Can you just get it up and do it?

Like that? Can you do that?

(laughs)

Watch it. Watch it.

- Oh, it was a close one.
- (Cortney sighs)

(laughing)

Sorry, this... I... I started this.

What's up? (Sighs)

Uh, Eddie can't take Mason this afternoon,

so I have to call in sick, again.

I can watch him.

Wait. Don't you have to
practice after school?

Yeah, no. But I got my keyboard there.

I can just practice after I put him down.

Really? Are you sure?

Yeah.

Mason: Hey, Mommy, you eat it!

- (laughs)
- Thank you.

Mason: Look!

Okay.

I'll, uh... I'll be back home by...

uh, back here by 5:00.

It's cool. I'll just
get the rest of these.

I'm sorry about the mess.

- Bye, Mason.
- Bye.

(crowd chattering)

(wand squealing)

_

(police radio chattering)

It's like juvie.

From now on, make sure you
all give yourselves extra time

to get through security.

We don't want you to be
late for first period.

(whispering)

Don't worry.

I got your back.

Hey. So... I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that
thing during the lockdown.

I was just freaked out.

It's okay.

I guess, I just didn't want to see
Taylor get hurt like I did, so, I...

Anyway, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Well, that was cool.

Do you want to go to
church with me after school?

Officer: Okay, come on up.

Nice, Mom. You couldn't have
just told me you took the car?

You didn't tell me you
were leaving the house,

without my permission, taking a
car that doesn't belong to you.

Well, now I'm late! And how
am I supposed to get around?

You're an adult. Figure it out.

So what's the end game here?

Are you trying to get
Brandon to come back home,

or are you trying to
push him further away?

Why are you doing this?

- Doing what?
- Moving out, fighting with Mom.

Why do you think, Callie?

(sighs) Just come home.

Why? So Mom can berate me
again, treat me like a bad kid?

No! No, so we can deal with it.

Seriously?

You're one to talk. You're
like the queen of running away.

Well, I'm not running away, am I?

Callie, come on.

It's... it's... better this way. Okay?

Moms won't say it, but it's
just easier on everyone.

And how are we supposed to live
under the same roof, anyway?

We lived under the same roof
for a long time, Brandon.

That was different.
We didn't have everyone

staring at us and watching our every move.

Whatever.

Do what you want, Brandon.

I just hope you know how
much you're hurting Moms.

No. I'm not the one who told them.

So do you only bang
your brother, or, like,

do I have a shot?

- (grunts)
- Boys: Oh!

Callie, we understand this is not easy,

but I have no choice here.

We have a zero tolerance policy for
physical violence, you know that.

You're suspended. Go home.

Hey, you know what? While you're there,

why don't you try to use the time
to figure out a new senior project,

since the last two,
you know, blew up. Okay?

You know, I, uh... I probably
would've punched him too.

- Sorry.
- Today of all days, this is the last thing I needed.

Are you at all worried

with her being home alone?

Well, you know, I wouldn't
be if we had an alarm.

For me, the worst part
was when it got quiet.

You know?

I was, like, so scared.

Woman: That's understandable.
I would've been scared too.

- Anyone else want to talk?
- Is it true?

Nick showed up at your house with a gun?

Oh, um...

- yeah.
- 'Cause you were cheating on him.

Well, no. He...

he was gonna hurt himself.

I... you know, I had
to talk him out of it.

Um, you're the reason he flipped out,

so don't go acting like
you're some kind of hero.

Whoa. You weren't even there,

so you don't know what happened.

Okay? So why don't you shut the hell up.

You can't just sit there and
point fingers at my sister

- for something she didn't do.
- This is not productive. Okay?

Let's all calm down.

We're not here to assign blame.

That was really cool of you,

standing up for your sister like that.

So what are you doing after school?

Whoa. I'm... I'm confused.

When I said I didn't want to date,

I didn't mean that I
didn't want to be friends.

Well, I don't usually
make out with my friends.

How about friends with benefits?

Would you be interested in that?

Let me ask my friend?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're fine with that.

_(students muttering)

_

- Hey.
- Don't.

- What's up?
- Just... don't.

Um...

I'll talk to you later.

- Oh, sorry.
- No, worries.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.

Law school?

Yeah. Why do you sound so surprised?

Oh, nothing. I just, um...

you seem kind of young
to be in law school.

I am. I'm only 19.

It's a five-year law program.

You get your bachelor's
and your JD all at once.

Cool.

What about you? You in school?

Yeah, um...

- I... go to NYU. I'm studying photography.
- Oh, yeah?

What are you doing here?

I'm just in town, visiting some friends.

Nice.

I'm Aaron... by the way.

Cameron.

Nice to meet you, Cameron.

I think we need to make
this fencing permanent,

and I think we're gonna need
to add another metal detector,

or getting on and off
campus is gonna take forever.

- Whoa. How are we supposed to pay for that?
- We've got the Kilfer grant.

That's supposed to be
for music, art, science...

programs you've been
really passionate about.

I'm actually more passionate
about keeping kids safe.

And for the record, I've already
had multiple calls from families

- who want to pull their kids out of school.
- A few.

Sure, that's to be expected,

but is how we want to spend
what little money we have?

Excuse me.

Hey! Going somewhere?

Don't worry.

I'm just stepping out for
some air. It's my free period.

Stay there.

(sighs) Brandon, I'm
sorry that Mom took the car

without talking to you about it first,

but, you know, it does
belong to the family.

Yeah. I know, I know. I was
gonna bring it back. You know,

she could've just asked me.

- So how are things, uh, at Court's?
- Good.

Yeah, it's fine. It's okay.

You're eating enough? You're
getting your homework done?

You're practicing for Juiliard?

Uh, well...

yeah, but... um...

Dad had to get rid of
the piano at his place

'cause I wasn't using it, and the
keyboards aren't exactly the same, so...

I've been playing the
piano here at school.

Brandon, you know you can
always play the piano at home.

You think Mom will be okay with that?

She will be.

So why law school?

Um, well...

I don't really think I wanna practice,

but I wanna work at a non-profit...

you know, social justice,
that kind of thing...

and a law degree is super helpful.

- That's cool.
- Yeah. I've been interning

at the Juvenile Justice
Project. Have you heard of it?

Oh, thanks.

Uh...

they help minors who can't
afford proper legal representation

or who were given unfair trials.

- It's pretty incredible.
- Wow.

What about you? I mean, I know you said

you're studying photography,
but is that what you...

- Yeah, yeah.
- That's cool.

Very brave.

I'm not sure I could pursue
a career that was that risky.

Well, it was great
talking to you, Cameron.

Yeah, you too.

Do you have an extra helmet?

(pop song playing)

♪ Woo-ooh ♪

Callie: Where are you taking me?

Aaron: You'll see.

♪ Woo-ooh ♪

♪ Woo-ooh ♪

♪ Let's go ♪
♪ Places we want to go... ♪

Wait. This is your church?

Uh, no. This is youth group.

We just, like, talk and hang out,

and there's usually
some songs or something.

It's really chill.

Hey, Taylor. What's up?

Hi. I'm Noah.

Sorry. This is Jude.

Noah's the pastor's son.

- Oh, your dad's the...
- My mom, actually.

Oh, cool.

- Jude goes to Anchor Beach with me.
- Oh.

Were you guys there for
the whole lockdown thing?

I saw it on the news.

Yeah, it was pretty intense.

Taylor was like a total rock, though.

Okay, everyone, let's do this!

Oh, before I forget,
we still need volunteers

to help organize the
supplies for the rummage sale

tomorrow after school. Who's in?

- I'm in
- Sweet. Thank you.

Also, I'm seeing a new face.

Somebody want to make an introduction?

Um, this is Jude. He's
my friend from school.

- Just a friend?
- (chuckles)

Well, welcome, Jude.

So, Jude, what we do at these
meetings is, we have a theme,

and today's theme is trust.

We start off with a song,

we read a little from the Bible,

and then we just talk about it. Cool?

Uh, yeah.

All right. Well, let's get started.

- Shawn, you want to sing us in?
- Sure.

(group singing) ♪ Around us ♪

♪ The song inside us ♪

♪ The earth below us ♪

♪ The friend beside us ♪

(panting)

I, uh... I, um...

I don't have a condom.

Oh.

Well, just so you know,
I'm on the, uh, pill.

Mm. Yeah?

Yeah, so...

So, I guess we don't need a condom.

You were with Haley, right?

Yeah.

Anyone else?

Um...

Yeah, some others.

What about you?

Well, Bobby...

Yeah, and?

Some others.

Well, I guess, we probably
should get a condom, then.

Actually, that's not what I was thinking.

In the Psalm of David,

he tells us that his trust
in God is why he prevailed

when he was pursued by
Saul and all of his armies.

So what do you think your
trust in God does for you?

Well, for me, um,

most of you guys know I
got dumped this summer,

and it hit me hard.

But what I've realized is that

there's nothing wrong with me,

that I didn't do anything...

that I'm not bad, you know?

And that God's gonna send me the
boyfriend I want when the time is right.

Paul: Yeah, I have no
doubt about that, Noah.

Because trusting God
means trusting yourself.

Trusting that you're loved,

lovable and perfect,

just the way you are.

So, is this the kind
of photography you do?

You take a lot of selfies?

Who's taking selfies?

- I'm shooting you.
- Wait. What?

Yeah, it's like a good trick.

It's kind of the only way to
catch people being themselves.

You know what I mean?

Um, I got the idea from Helen Levitt.

- You ever heard of her?
- No.

She took these really awesome
pictures of street kids,

but they never knew that
she was shooting them.

Huh? How'd she do that?

Well, she had this
attachment on her Leica,

which made it look like she
was pointing her camera one way,

but, actually, she was
taking the photos over here.

It's cool, right? Here look.

Aaron: Wow.

What?

These are... great.

Uh... I usually hate
having my picture taken.

And, well, I've just... n

ever seen myself like that.

You look really handsome.

♪ It's a beautiful day ♪

♪ It's a beautiful day ♪

All right, so, in keeping with our topic,

I thought we would do
a little trust exercise.

Okay, everyone stand up for me.

I want you to pick a partner,

but don't pick someone
that you already know well.

Hey, why don't you go with Jude?

Sure.

All right, everyone get a partner?

Let's partner up.

Thank you. Okay. Have a
seat on the floor for me.

Everyone have a seat.
Sit face-to-face. Okay?

Legs crossed, knees touching.

Might feel a little
uncomfortable, but that's okay.

Don't worry.

Now I want you to look
into each other's eyes.

And relax your hands over your partner's,

palm-to-palm.

- Sorry.
- It's okay. Mine are sweaty too.

Paul: Shh. No talking please.

I want you to begin
to let your guard down.

Trust that the person
across from you, accepts you

just as you are.

Let your partner see the real you.

Let that be okay.

Let that be enough.

Sorry, I... (clears throat)

I gotta go.

Jude!

Why did you bring me here?

- I thought you'd like it.
- Really?

It didn't have anything to do
with the fact that Noah's gay?

Well, I saw you texting
Connor at the lockdown.

So? You don't know me. Okay?

I knew you liked Connor before you did.

I just thought you might like Noah.

Or at least you could make another friend.

I don't need any more friends.

Hey, can you take a right up there?

Will you stop up here?

Cameron, you okay?

What is this?

It's the house I grew up in.

Oh. I didn't realize you were from here.

I guess I just thought
you grew up back East.

No.

How long did you live here?

Until my mom died.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

How old were you?

Ten.

What about your Dad?

He... went to jail.

He was driving the car. He was drunk.

(phone camera clicks)

We should go.

(piano playing classical music)

That's the piece you won States with.

(laughing)

Do you remember that trip?

When the car broke down

on the five on the way up to Bakersfield.

- And then that guy that picked us up.
- Oh, my gosh!

- He smelled so bad. The smell!
- So bad!

That is the only time you will

ever ride in the back of
a pick-up truck, young man.

Thank you.

For doing that.

And...

for the millions of miles that you drove

to take me to lessons and contests and...

everything else.

I don't say that enough.

And thank you for...

letting me practice here.

Mama didn't tell you.

That's fine. It's fine.

You know, you can come here and practice

any time you want to, you know that, B.

Hmm. (Sighs)

Stay for dinner if you like.

(phone chimes)

_

I can't.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

Callie: Here is good.

So, how long you in town for?

You want to hang out again?

Um...

I sort of have a boyfriend.

But thank you for the day... um, the ride.

Any time, Cameron.

Lena: Nice motorcycle!

Who's the organ donor?

You were riding on a motorcycle
with a complete stranger.

What the hell is wrong with you, Callie?

You're supposed to be
earning back our trust.

You think this how you're
going to accomplish that?

Stef: Do you have anything
to say, young lady?

Lena: You're hitting kids at school.

You're deliberately disobeying us.

What is going on with
you? What are you thinking?

I don't know. What are you thinking?

- Excuse me?
- No. What's going on?

Are you gonna undo my adoption?
'Cause if you are, just do it.

Undo your... I don't...

- what are you talking about?
- I looked into it, you totally can.

Callie, we would never undo your adoption.

Why would you even think
something like that?

We never said anything like that.

'Cause you never said anything at all.

And when I asked you if
you would've gone ahead

and adopted me if you
knew about me and Brandon,

you didn't answer and... (sighs)

Oh... my love.

Honey, I am so sorry.

I think...

I think we didn't know what to say,

so we didn't say anything.

That must've been really
awful for you. I'm so sorry.

Callie, we're family.

We're a family forever.

Look, I get it. You know,
you've been in and out of

so many homes. And I have no
idea how that must've felt.

But somehow... somehow,
you've gotta trust us,

or trust this, that no
matter how tough things get,

that we're never going anywhere.

Never.

I promise you that.

(door opens, closes)

- Hey, where you been, love?
- Church.

Church? Did you know about this?

He thinks God doesn't want him to be gay.

(sighs) Okay.

I got this.

It was just a youth
group at Taylor's church.

Okay.

- Was that her idea?
- Don't worry. I'm not going back.

Something happen?

Nope. It's just not for me.

- Yeah? You want to talk about it?
- Nope.

- You sure?
- Yep.

- Dinner is ready soon.
- Okay.

So?

How was the rest of school?

_

Well, that's messed up.

But why do you care?

It's not true.

Yeah, it's easy for you to say.

It's never the boy
that gets called a slut.

Okay, maybe.

But so what?

What, some idiot takes a cheap shot?

Like if I worried about
everything people said about me,

I'd be...

you.

Hey!

Um, did you ever get

tested for... ?

Eww.

- Do you have something?
- What? No.

Emma wants me to.

So are you and Emma back together?

No. No, not really. I mean, we're friends.

- Friends don't ask friends to get tested.
- I mean, we're friends with benefits.

She doesn't really want
anything serious, so...

we're kind of just, you know...

- Having sex?
- Yeah.

I mean, that's cool.

Well, play on, player.

(acoustic guitar playing)

♪ Don't get me wrong or right ♪

♪ Just walk me home tonight ♪

So, Brandon was here when I got home.

- Oh, I forgot to tell you.
- Fine, fine.

I managed to be quite sweet to him.

- You were? Good for you.
- Yeah.

(sighs)

Just wish he would come home.

I know, honey. He will when he's ready.

He's just being stubborn. I
wonder where he got that from.

I don't know if it's just being stubborn.

He's got a white knight
complex, has to save everyone,

and I know he got that from me, so zip it.

His father too. Poor
kid, never had chance.

Sometimes I think we're just failing
miserably at this whole parenting thing.

No, no, no. We are not. We are not.

We just have to find a balance, you know,

between allowing them to
make their own mistakes

and being there for them when they do.

Just must be a constant source of

annoyance for them.

Remember how we felt about our
parents when we were that age.

Yeah, but my parents were monsters.

We're not like them. We're cool.

- Are we? I hope so.
- (laughing)

(sighs)

I'm gonna go check on Callie.

- Sweetheart, she's...
- I'm gonna go check on her.

(knocks)

Hey.

I just wanted to say good night.

Um...

My senior project, I think
I know what I want to do.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it's like a photo essay,

with all the houses
that Jude and I were in.

So, I'll take pictures and then,

like, write about my
experiences in each house,

so, what happened to me,
what happened to Jude,

and... how we found our way to our family.

I think that sounds great.

♪ Be still, my darlin' ♪

Um, I was thinking about
what you guys said...

and I realized that...

I think I got a lot of walls.

I think I just thought that it
would stop me from getting hurt.

to sing tonight ♪

- (keys jangle)
- (door opens)

Sorry, I, uh... I just put him down.

You're so bad.

Did you get to practice at all?

Uh, yeah, actually, I did.

I went home to my moms'
house, after school.

Oh.

Good. How'd it go?

Uh, good. Fine.

Not my best, actually, but it just

felt good to be back in it.

So, listen, I...

- I...
- (knocking on door)

(Cortney whispers) It's Eddie.

- I wanna see Mason.
- He's asleep.

If you wanted to see him,

you shouldn't have bailed
on taking him tonight.

- I'll take him now.
- No, you won't.

Shouldn't you be at home?

- Don't you have a curfew or something?
- I live here.

Now get out before I call the police.

(police radio chattering)

- Sit with me in assembly?
- Sure.

Hey, look.

It's Mariana Fost-whore.

(laughing)

It's Adams Fost-whore.

My daughter said something
really wise last night.

She said walls don't keep you safe.

She wasn't talking about Anchor
Beach, but it got me thinking.

What kind of school do we want?

Do we want an armored fortress?

A monument to fear?

Or do we want an open, inclusive space

where our kids can come and learn

and explore and create?

Dead kids can't paint.

That's true.

But let's be honest,

no fence is going to keep all dangers out.

Me and my friends, we
don't mind the fences.

'Cause when we come here,
we just want to feel safe.

Really?

You want to feel safe?

Well, I do too.

But I can't when you and your
friends are calling me names,

saying I'm a bitch and a whore.

Saying that it's my fault that
Nick brought a gun to school,

like I drove him to it or something.

These fences might keep us safe
from what goes on on the outside.

But who's going to protect us
from what's going on inside?

The only way we're gonna
keep our kids safe...

is by being aware...

and present, and proactive...

by being better parents,

We tell you kids,

"See something, say something."

And you did.

It worked.

Thank you.

But how is it that school
shootings have become

something to expect and prepare for?

As a country, as a community,

we've accepted this as normal.

Why?

This isn't normal!

This shouldn't be normal.

We're all in this together,

and that's the only way
we're gonna get through it.

(applause)

(chattering)

Can I ask you something?

Somebody at that church
say something to you

to make you feel badly about yourself?

- They didn't have to.
- Hey, listen to me.

You know that I'm not a church person.

I believe that there is a God.

I'd being willing to
bet a great deal of money

that she thinks you're just as amazing

and wonderful and delicious

and squishy and adorable as I do.

Okay?

I love you, Boo. (Kisses)

Okay. All right. We're at school.

- Sorry.
- Chill.

I didn't even know that
there were this many...

what do they call them? STIs?

I know, right?

- Chlamydia is not a flower.
- Yeah, no kidding.

And look, HPV, HIV,

gonorrhea, super gonorrhea, syphilis,

and what the hell is tricho-moni-asis?

(sighs) Hell if I know.

But at least we're all good.

Yeah, but what's the point?

I mean, if we're having sex,

and we're having sex with other people...

So, maybe we're exclusive

friends with benefits?

Yeah. Yeah, that works.

But we're not, you know, dating.

No, no. We're just...

friends with benefits who don't
have other friends with benefits.

- Deal.
- Good.

I came to help.

Sweet.

So, clothes go there,

and dishes and kitchen
stuff goes over there.

Sounds good.

Okay.

That was really cool, what you said.

I couldn't believe the
look on Renee's face.

And if any of those girls ever say
anything about Nick to you again,

- you just have to...
- Can we

not talk about it anymore?

I just want to be done with it, you know,

once and for all.

I just want us to start over
and pretend it never happened.

You got it.

Thank you.

Let me just grab my stuff,
and I'll walk you home?

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Nick on phone: Mariana.

It's me, Nick.

- Hey.
- I miss you so much.

When are you, uh...

when are you coming to see me?
