04x03 - I Lock the Door Upon Myself

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Switched at Birth...

Welcome to the first class of the Midwest Institute for the Deaf at U.M.K.C.

I'm Iris.

Daphne. Hi.

I'm in the interpreter program.

Let me help you with your coffeehouse.

Help how?

I can bring in money, and I'm an interior designer.

I can give your place the look you want to get it open.

We don't even know each other.

I'm Regina.

Eric.

It was her idea.

Yeah, and you let her go through with it.

I was going to prison.

You will eat with it.

You will sleep with it.

You have a curfew of 7:00 P.M.

I'm so sorry this turned into such a mess.

I need you to leave my room.

Dad, I had to beg him to go to L.A. without me, and he still could change his mind at any minute.

You're in my film theory class. Right?

Yeah.

I used to babysit this little deaf boy in high school, so, um...

I know some sign language.

My name is S-k-y-e like the sky.

Mm-hmm.

(Phone clicks)

Emmett.

You're the guy that's so into horror films, right?

Hey, I'm going on a hike.

Do you want to come?

Ah.

You're waiting for a call.

Got it.

No problem.

Okay, well, I'll see you around.

So...

What's your favorite horror film?

Psycho, of course.

That shower scene gets me every time.

John: That was the best birthday dinner ever.

Mm, it's getting harder and harder to top myself.

How many dinners has it been?

Yeah, exactly what birthday is this, John?

Toby: Let's see, so I'm 20, and when I was born, dad was...

20 years younger.

That is correct, my friend.

(Giggling)

It's not the miles, Toby.

It's how you live them.

Yes. And if ever a guy deserved to live out his golden years in comfort, it's you.

(Clears throat)

(Chuckles)

Where's my cake?

Toby: You almost ready?

Yeah, if you help me.

So, how's school going?

It's good.

Hey, uh...

I was way too hard on you at the orientation.

It's all right.

Actually, I'm glad that you yelled some sense into me, and I'm really glad that I didn't go away to school.

Yeah, me too.

So we're... we're good?

Yeah, we're good.

If I could only get through to... hey.

This many candles, we should have a fire extinguisher nearby.

You know, I texted you a few times.

I never heard back.

Yeah, I don't really get to use my phone on the chain g*ng.

The rest of the time, I'm on with Emmett, trying to pretend that we're not 2,000 miles away from each other.

Right.

I'm so sorry.

I know you are.

I can't say it enough.

We both know it was my choice, so I can't really be mad at you.

But you are.

Come on, let's just go have some fun.

(Theme music playing)

Uh, morning. I got you a chocolate muffin from the dining hall.

Thanks.

Oh, and before you dive back into the ions, I wanted to ask you if you want to play bubble soccer with me?

What?

It's soccer, but everyone wears these enormous, plastic-like hamster balls around their heads as fun as that sounds, I should really study.

Okay.

Oh, there's a Hello Kitty convention in town.

And we can get matching tattoos.

I have to pass.

Okay.

What is that smell?

Hey.

Hey.

What are you looking at?

I am looking at the U.M.K.C. course catalog.

Honey, let's not become helicopter parents.

Daphne is perfectly capable of picking her own classes.

Actually, I was looking at it for myself.

You want to take a class at U.M.K.C.?

You know, last night got me thinking about what's next, and I never went to college because of baseball.

Always thought I was missing something.

Am I crazy?

No, I think it's a fantastic idea.

I'm so proud of you, honey.

(Door opens)

And the cavalry has arrived.

What do you got there?

Supplies.

It's my weekend to keep Bay company for her house arrest.

I'm gonna need a full bag of tricks.

You're a smart man.

You know, I had Bay duty last weekend.

By Sunday night, she was crawling up the walls.

Yeah, she was a bit testy.

Define "testy."

Mean as a snake.

(Bay screams)

I'm out.

Me too. Good luck.

(Door opens)

(Sighs)

(Door closes)

That was a happy scream?

Oh, I would be doing a touchdown dance if I wasn't charging this stupid thing.

I just got an email from the Kansas City artists' showcase.

I made the final round.

Cool.

What does that mean?

If I win, they're gonna put one of my pieces on City Plaza next to these really important artists.

Nice.

Congratulations.

This is seriously the first good thing that's happened to me in forever.

I'm glad to see the clouds are finally parting.

I still have to ace the interview.

The lady is coming tomorrow at 10:00.

She's gonna want to see my studio.

I still have a bunch of pieces that I'm gonna have to finish.

Relax.

We'll make it happen.

Oh! I can't wait to tell Emmett.

Okay, ow.

(Students chattering)

(Phone vibrates)

Hi.

I've been looking for you.

I have some news.

I got picked to be the D.P. on a film that's sh**ting this weekend.

And the guy that's directing it has some big sh*t producer for a dad.

So...

He pulled some strings and we get to sh**t in a giant sound stage on a real studio lot.

And...

I got you on as a...

Grip.

Yeah. (Giggles)

Yay!

Toby: Maybe we should set out some wine and cheese or something.

What are you doing?

I'm getting some intel on this woman for tomorrow.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

What's the matter?

The showcase is getting funding from the N.E.A.

The National Endowment for the Arts.

The N.E.A isn't going to support an artist with a criminal record.

Uh... okay.

What are you looking for?

A copy of my application.

I sent it in a few months ago.

Okay.

"Have you ever been convicted of a felony?"

Maybe they don't have to find out.

I think it's pretty safe to say they're gonna find out.

Hey.

I see you got my message about the church drive.

What do you got for me?

Oh.

There's some nice clothes in here.

Yeah.

He had good taste.

And he looked damn good in whatever he wore.

He did.

Sometimes I dream he's asleep next to me.

Oh, sweetie.

What I wouldn't give for one last roll in the hay.

(Laughs) Okay.

Is it wrong for me to say that?

I mean, it's just been so long.

Of course not.

But, you know, to be honest, when you told me about the Hawaii offer, I just assumed that you and Wes were, you know...

No!

We kissed, but that's it.

It was just too soon.

Look, Regina...

You don't have to give away Angelo's things right now.

If you're not ready, you're not ready.

No, I should.

It's time.

(Bell rings)

(Crew chattering)

How cool is this?

Yeah, I got her now.

Skye, we need you at camera to line up first sh*t.

Okay, I got to go.

Watch your back.

I said watch your back.

Skye: Hey, come on.

There's someone I want you to meet.

Oh, oh, wait! You're closing it?

Some idiot put a cherry b*mb in the toilet.

The whole plumbing system's sh*t.

How long will that take to fix?

I don't know. Maybe six weeks.

Six weeks?

Well, there's a bathroom at the other end of the floor.

One bathroom for 40 kids?

That's never gonna work.

Complain to whoever cherry bombed your toilet.

Hey, Taylor. Uh, this is my friend Emmett...

Why'd you choose the 50?

It's perfect for the sh*t.

What about the 24?

That lens is too wide. Her face will look all fat and puffy.

I don't care how she looks.

Fincher does it all the time.

It's about the dominance of the protagonist, not some actor looking good.

Well, still, compositionally...

I'm going with the wide.

That is, unless you want to waste more of my time arguing with me.

No. Got it.

Um, I'll get the 24 on right away.

Who are you?

This is Emmett.

He's in school with us and he's gonna help us out in the grip department.

He says thanks for having him. He's deaf.

Oh.

Cool.

You know, we're all good with grips, but I could use someone in craft service.

Put him there.

Taylor...

Assistant director: First team rehearsal everybody.

(Bell rings)

I'm so sorry.

Um, I'll talk to him.

Okay.

(Doorbell rings)

She's here!

This is an abomination.

It cost me three bucks.

It's the best I could do on short notice.

And it covers the anklet.

Is this really wrong? I hate to lie to her.

You're not lying.

Technically, you're innocent.

Ms. Berdick, I presume?

Are you m1ngo?

I am.

What can I do for you?

You can start by apologizing for blowing up our bathroom.

Damn.

Forensic evidence, huh?

What are you, a criminology major?

Oh, so you admit that you did it.

No.

Those pictures don't prove anything.

Oh, I think the Dean's office will feel differently.

I'm sure they're gonna want to know why you've been persecuting the new, deaf kids.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're deaf?

Ugh.

Hey, come on.

Getting hazed is all part of the experience.

You wouldn't want me to treat you differently than the other freshmen, would you?

(Scoffs) Whatever.

I was just trying to give you a fair warning, you're about to get kicked out of school.

Hey, oh. You're not actually gonna turn me in, are you?

Not if you stop pranking us.

Wow, you are really uptight.

Okay, no more pranks.

And you ruined our bathroom, so we get yours.

Well, then where are we supposed to go?

To the athletic center next door.

No, no. No way. That's not gonna happen.

All right, cool. Yeah, nice knowing you.

Wait! Um, okay. I got an idea.

We'll play you for it.

Excuse me?

Dorm triathlon.

Three events.

Winner gets exclusive rights to the bathroom.

Loser... (Clicks tongue) does their business next door.

No, why would I agree to that when I have these?

Well, all that really proves is that some guy had to use the john in the middle of the night.

We win, we get the bathroom.

Yep, and then you'll be back to your books by happy hour.

Promise.

(Sighs) Fine. We're in.

Let the games begin.

(Scoffs)

Ok, so the trick with Tug of w*r is to go small in the front with our strongest in the back.

So Travis, you're our anchor.

Where do you want me, Coach?

Uh, well it's five-on-five, so I think we're good here.

Oh, sure.

No problem.

Just remember, give them a little at first, and then start pulling.

It'll throw them off balance.

Serena: Everyone, on their marks.

(Guys cheering)

Whoo!

Yes!

Man: Nice job. That's a nice job.

Thanks for coming, guys. See you tonight.

First round is on me.

Hey!

Hm?

Do any of those guys actually live on 2A?

No, actually most of the lacrosse team lives in Fisher, except for Dominick, who lives at home with his grandmother.

It's a touching story, actually.

You brought in ringers?

That's cheating.

Eh, cheating is such an ugly word.

We never said anything about a residency requirement.

I think it's implied in the phrase "dorm triathlon."

Oh.

Think about professional sports.

Think everybody who plays for the Royals is actually from Kansas City?

Hey, cheer up. Don't worry about it.

I'm sure you guys can make a comeback.

See you for round two?

Your work is very impressive.

It shows an artistic sensibility far beyond your years.

That's our Bay.

Super mature.

So, uh, does that mean I'm in the showcase?

I should pretend I need to think about it, but yes.

We'd love to show your work.

Thank you. Oh, you have no idea how much this means to me.

Now, I'm going to be writing a profile on you for our program, um...

Just have a few questions.

Can we sit?

I will go make some drinks.

Okay.

So... Tell me. Are you in school?

No, um... not right now.

I'm taking some time off to explore my horizons.

I've recently become involved with some community projects.

You mean charity work. Oh.

What exactly do you do?

Environmental cleanup.

Fantastic!

I'll put that in.

Who's thirsty?

Uh, here's a blanket.

It's kind of chilly in here.

I have terrible circulation.

Okay.

I'm beginning to seriously question my new partner's creative taste.

What is this?

That is quality European paint you've got there.

It reminds me of one of my son's crappy Crayola crayons he never wants to use.

Don't candy coat it, tell me how you really feel.

I hate it.

Are you always this tactful?

Because it could take some getting used to.

It's my personal philosophy, honed from years of trial and error... complete honesty.

More like brutal honesty.

(Chuckles)

So... You have a son?

Yeah, will. He's nine.

Any other kids?

Nope, just the one.

What about his mom?

You married?

She d*ed when he was three.

I'm sorry.

How'd she die?

Cancer.

(Sighs)

I lost my husband earlier this year. Car accident. It was really tough on my daughters.

Yeah, I know how that works.

Okay.

You are seriously gonna have to trust me with this paint color.

Hold the ladder?

Sure.

All right.

When you see it on the wall, I think you're gonna want to apologize.

All right.

Well... I'm seeing it on my shirt now, and I'm still hating it.

Oh. (Laughs) I'm so sorry.

No big deal. It's an old shirt.

If we get into cold water right away we can save it.

Come on.

(Sighs)

Okay.

I think we're officially done with puke orange.

I'll put this in the back.

Ok, quiet everyone!

Roll sound!

Taylor: And... action!

You wouldn't dare.

Oh yeah? Try me.

(Bag rustling)

Cut! Cut!

What the hell is that?

(Bag rustling)

(Chips crunching)

Are you kidding me right now?

Skye, tell me we got it?

(Sighs) No.

Assistant director: It's gonna take an hour to reset.

An hour?

Ok everybody, gather up!

All right, round two. "Butts up."

Oh, yeah.

Ball comes to you and you miss it, you've got to run and touch the wall before someone throws you out.

If you miss, well, then...

Butts up.

Take one in the shorts. Got it?

Good. Last man standing wins.

You brought a Gold Glove third basemen to our dorm triathlon?

How do you know John Kennish?

He's my dad, and our ringer.

Okay.

Toss me the rock, son.

Time to break the ice.

Shall we?

Here you go.

Good as new.

Huh.

Thanks.

(Sighs)

I always thought about getting one, I just never found a piece of art that I was comfortable committing to for life.

I don't think of them as art.

For better or worse, they're a road map of my life.

Hmm.

Why'd you get this?

Got this the week Will was born.

It's how I felt after seeing my son for the first time.

And this?

Spain, December of '96.

I was so drunk, I don't even remember getting that one.

(Both chuckle)

Nice.

Oh.

Hope.

I love that word.

It's not a word.

A name?

(Sighs)

Your wife.

(All laughing)

Well, that's everything unless there's anything else you want to tell me.

Uh... yeah, you know what?

Nothing comes to mind.

Well, great. Then I'll have someone over to pick up your piece next week.

(Anklet beeping)

What's that noise?

Smoke alarm?

It's a cellphone.

I think it's coming from your leg.

(Sighs)

That beeping means the battery is dying on my ankle monitor.

I'm not really taking a gap year, I'm on house arrest.

And I'm not really doing charity work, I'm on a cleanup crew for my felony conviction.

You have been so nice and supportive of my work, and I totally suck for lying to you.

I see.

Please, Ms. Berdick, I swear I'm a good person, and I really need this.

Is there any way you can make an exception?

(Beeping continues)

I'm afraid I can't.

Good luck to you.

I hope you can get your life together.

Yeah. Me too.

(Sighs)

We were so close.

I hate this damn thing!

(Beeping)

Come on, I need to plug it in before the battery dies or else I am...

(beeping stops)

Totally screwed.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

We won "Butts up."

Tied the triathlon.

That's great.

Congratulations.

Why weren't you there?

Why wasn't I there?

Because no one told me about it. That's why.

In case you haven't noticed, people around here don't know I exist.

That's not true.

Yeah, it is.

Even you do it.

When I tried to volunteer for the Tug of w*r, you acted like I wasn't there.

I thought roommates were supposed to look out for each other.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize...

It doesn't matter.

The truth is I'm not really one of you.

I'm just the dumb hearing girl who no one wants to slow down enough to talk to.

Ok, so, tennis ball is one thing.

But let's see what you can do with the real deal.

Okay?

(Beeps)

So you're telling me that you only played little league?

Well, son, put on that glove.

'Cause you're about to get a second chance.

Hi, Travis.

Hey, sweetie, what are you doing here?

I got you a little present.

You didn't have to do that.

Oh, what's this for?

For your textbooks.

All the kids on campus are using them now.

Thank you.

So, what class did you sign up for, honey?

You know, I don't think I'm gonna do that.

Wait, why not?

And what are you guys doing here, anyway?

You know what, just watch for one second, okay?

Wow!

Yeah.

(John chuckles)

Unbelievable, right?

This kid has a real future in baseball, and I'm gonna help him.

Okay, but...

You said you wanted to explore what you missed in college.

What happened?

Honestly, the same thing that happened the first time.

My plans changed because of the game.

Okay. (Sighs)

I swear, I plugged it in.

It's this cord.

There must be a short in it.

Wait here.

(Sighs)

She's gonna add more time to my sentence, I know it.

I'm not gonna get to L.A. till I'm 30!

Calm down. Everything's gonna be okay.

No, it is not gonna be okay.

I needed that showcase and now it's just another thing that I've lost all because of her.

You know I think what you did was crazy, but it was your choice.

I know, and you know what really pisses me off?

Is that I don't even get to be mad at her without feeling guilty about it.

That's why I can't be in the same room with her.

I just end up... hating myself.

Well, if you could go back right now, would you do anything differently?

No.

Daphne's not in prison.

She still gets to be a doctor.

She's been k*lling herself, making sure that she doesn't let you down.

Officer: Here you go.

New charger.

Go home, plug in.

They'll start monitoring you again in a couple hours.

Wait, that's it?

I'm in a good mood.

Did you hear that?

She said you've got a couple hours.

That pretty much means to me we can do whatever the heck you want.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

So... what'll it be?

I'm the worst roommate ever.

And you have been so great to me.

I wouldn't even have an interpreter if it weren't for you.

I've just been really caught up in my own stuff.

I'm so sorry.

You have a lot going on.

I mean, you are pre-med.

Well, I'm not gonna make a very good doctor if I can't even tell when the people around me are hurting.

It's just...

ASL.

It's way faster than I thought it'd be.

I'm pretty good one-on-one, but...

(Sighs) When everyone's together...

I'm totally lost.

That's like me in chemistry most the time.

You know, I'm starting to think coming here was a huge mistake.

No!

No.

You're gonna be fine, because I'm gonna help you.

We're roommates.

We look out for each other, right?

Serena: Hey. We got to book it.

Mud run's in 10 minutes.

What's that all about?

The dorm triathlon.

The final event is a mud run.

Oh, that's cool.

I did that once in my summer camp.

Iris: Are you sure about this?

I never said I was great at it.

If we lose, everyone will hate me.

No, they won't.

If we lose, we lose.

At least we'll go down as a team.

Okay, so...

You're the only one of us who's done this before.

Do you have any advice?

Everyone, on their marks.

Go!

m1ngo: Don't lose!

Daphne: Come on!

(Team 2b cheering)

Yeah! Ha! Yes!

Yes!

Well, I guess you guys win. Congratulations.

Thanks.

So that's what your smile looks like.

Knew it had to be in there somewhere.

♪ 'Cause I, 'cause I won't surrender ♪

There you are.

(Door closes)

Hi.

Hey, is everything okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fine.

Um, I was just wondering if you ended up taking those boxes to the church.

Oh, actually I didn't get a chance to get there today.

So...

They're still here.

Are you okay?

Did something happen?

I just...

(sighs)

I miss Angelo more than I thought.

I'm not ready to give up his stuff yet.

Sure.

I'll get John and we'll help you bring them back upstairs.

Okay.

I want to show you this.

It sure beats Taylor's douchey wrap party, huh?

Up there, fourth one, down.

We're standing, right where the Bates motel shower was built.

(Chuckles)

That stupid thing with the lens, I should have fought back.

And I should have stood up for you.

I'm really sorry about that.

Hey! Let's agree right here, right now, that we'll never take crap from guys like that again.

(Giggles)

Mm.

To us!

A deaf director and a lady D.P., both fighting the odds.

Yeah? (Laughs)

Mmm!

Wait, we have to capture the moment.

Okay.

(Camera shutter clicks)

I'm so sorry.

I don't know why I did that.

I have a boyfriend, too, in Indiana.

Well, we should probably go.

Um, don't want to get busted by security.

(All cheering)

Wow! Yeah!

You're right, she's clearly torturing herself.

What are you guys doing here?

Ah, well, I came here to apologize to you.

But now I realize I don't need to do that, so...

Please, Bay, wait.

Listen, you have every right to be mad at me.

I should have never let you take the fall.

I just wish that we could go back to that day and do it all over somehow.

Yeah, well, we can't.

Oh, my... no!

Stop it!

Make me.

Daphne! (Groans)

(Grunts)

Ah!

Hey, whatever this is, count me out!
