01x16 - Caitlin's Trust

[bunniefuu]

- Radio head are masters of progress.

Their genius is in mixing ballads, synthetics,

and the heavy minerals.

I think Jocelyn meant heavy metals, but she's French,

so her English isn't so good.

- I don't believe it.

You're hot for her.

- I'm not.

- Come on you practically memorize that email.

Having a crush on someone you've never met is so pathetic.

- We had instant chemistry.

- Through a modem after emailing for a week.

- French girls communicate on a very deep level.

- Oh, and you would know.

- Jocelyn's not like other girls.

She never worries about split ends or dieting.

- That's amazing.

You have completely figured out what girls are all about.

- You're not that complicated.

Excuse me, that's addressed to Dori Lowe.

- It's the check from the government.

Dori and Jim are getting paid to take care of me.

- Really?

But so what?

Having kids cost money.

Modems, video games, snowboards.

Not to mention miscellaneous things like food.

Besides you have a horse,

major drain on the family budget.

I'll say you opened it by mistake.

- A drain on the family budget.

What if Dori and Jim are just taking care of me

for the money?

What if they're like all my other foster families?

- [Dori] Yeah, I know you're hungry, yeah

Slow down, slow down.

- Hey Dori, we need some more apples for Bandit.

- Now, I'll pick some up next week.

Hey, check that out.

- What?

- It's a Jim's high school reunion this weekend

and I was going through some of my old stuff.

It's a seventies themed barbecue.

I found this, made me think of you.

- It's not totally gross.

- Yeah, considering its from the stone age.

- Yeah, so what are we going to do about Bandit's apples?

- Well, you're giving him too many treats Caitlin.

I think you're spoiling him.

- I am not.

Look fine if you won't pay for them.

I'll just pay for them out of my own allowance.

(high energy rock music)

I know Dori's totally cheap.

With what she makes off me,

she can afford your treats.

Hey, don't slime the jacket.

I don't know.

I mean, do you think I'm wrong?

She did give me this.

Maybe her and Jim think I'm okay.

Maybe they didn't just take me in for the money.

Sometimes people are so hard to figure out.

(high energy rock music)

- Hey, the Eiffel Tower.

There's a contest?

This is an amazing timing.

- What?

- Every burger and fries order gets you an entry to.

- To prizes and a trip to Paris home of the French fry.

- No Paris is home of the French kiss.

- I'll take five burgers.

- You're kidding.

- You want to go to Paris?

- Yeah and why don't you give me five orders of fries

with that.

- Okay, coming right up.

- Jocelyn's from Paris.

She's my new cyber pen pal.

She has such an incredible mind, you know.

If she looks anything like she thinks,

she's totally awesome.

- Well then she's not going to be interested in you pal.

- I gotta find out how you say kiss in French?

- Le bisou.

- What?

How do you know?

- My brother.

He has pickup lines in 12 different languages.

The guy is amazing.

I wish I had half his brain.

- Yeah, you double your IQ.

- What?

- Nothing.

So how do you say you have pretty eyes?

- I don't know.

- Oh man.

It ripped apart in the middle of main street.

- Really?

It's okay, we'll just, we'll get it sewn.

- You know, I can't believe you expect me

to where your gross hand me downs.

You know, you've never bought me anything new?

- Come on, of course we have.

- You buy Griffen anything he asks for.

- Yeah, Griffen gets stuff.

But don't forget Caitlin you have a horse.

- You know, I bet you figure out every cent Bandit cost you

and that I cost you.

- Why would you say that?

- You know why.

- Guys its here.

I got it.

- Yes.

Man.

- That's zero to 60 in 9.8 seconds.

- That's a 109 miles an hour.

- Two quarter mile in 18.5 seconds.

- Wow, what's the horsepower?

- 190

- Torque?

- 225 foot pounds.

- Man it is the best.

- Well?

- Well it looks beautiful.

- It's got dual airbags.

- Really?

- What's the drag coefficient.

- 0.50.

- Oh

- But hey,

it's got ultra grip coffee mug holders.

We are hot tonight.

- Hey, how do we look?

- Like old people trying to look young.

So you got a new Jeep?

- Yeah, what you say tomorrow we all go for a nice drive.

- Must have had to save for a long time to get it.

Or maybe you came into some new money.

- Hey, why don't you take our picture?

- Yeah, capture this classic seventies moment.

- Sure.

But it'll cost you 20 bucks.

Film's expensive, but you wouldn't know that

because you've got lots of money.

- Cheese.

- Cheese.

- They didn't take the Jeep?

- Oh, well no, dad's sister gave them lift.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Hey, it's just as much mine as it is yours.

Actually, it's more mine.

- Reality check.

We don't own anything, only adults do.

They just let us borrow their stuff in their weaker moments.

But you know, maybe when I get my license,

my own dad will sick of it.

Maybe they'll even let me drive it.

I might even let you borrow it.

- No, you can borrow it from me.

- Yeah, this is the wheels?

- Yeah.

- How fast does it go?

- Zero to 60 in 9.8 seconds.

- Hey, why don't you guys hop in?

I'll give you a ride to the diner.

- Are you crazy?

- Don't make me laugh.

- Oh, come on.

My last foster dad taught me how.

I used to have to take the car to get groceries

because he was too lazy to do it himself.

- Yeah, right.

Besides mom and dad have the keys.

- Spare ones.

- So you're not totally useless after all.

- No way Eric.

No, no way Eric, Caitlin this car's going nowhere.

- Come on Griff live on the edge.

- All right, we could just go to the end of the road

and then turn right around.

At least buckle up.

Easy.

Watch it.

Pull over, let me out.

- I can't

- Of course you can't

because you don't know where the breaks are.

- Rabbit.

- I saw it.

- [Griffen] Is the coast clear?

- Yes

- A monkey could drive better than you.

- You're welcome.

I'll pick you up in an hour.

- Forget it.

- No way.

We'll walk.

You go home before anyone sees you.

Take the back roads and go under the speed limit.

- Chill out already.

- When you get home, clean the bugs off the windshield.

I can't eat another bite.

- I'm a bachelor.

- Je suis un cinglé.

- You just said you're a crack pot.

- Give me that.

She knows I'm a bachelor, okay?

I love you, je t'aime.

- Griff, if you want a girl to like you,

you don't tell her that you love her man.

- What am I supposed to tell her?

- How many touchdowns you scored.

- I was cut from the team.

- Griff, you gotta make her think that your Superman.

Jeez, what was it Griff?

Was it the fat?

Was it the grease?

Or was, was it the little bits of brisk?

- Come on, man don't.

I'll never get to Paris, if I can't eat anymore.

- You know, I'm suddenly really, really hungry.

I could eat like six, maybe seven more burgers.

I mean, if you're out of commission, maybe,

maybe I got a chance at winning.

- I'm not out of commission.

- Maybe I'll get to Paris and look up Joss.

- She's my pen pal.

- Yeah, but I scored 20 touchdowns this season.

- I can hardly see a thing.

Oh, man.

Garth.

- Caitlin?

- That was close.

Oh, no.

- What the.

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

Caitlin what are you doing in that Jeep?

Oh no.

Caitlin

I need an ambulance, over.

Caitlin?

- Caitlin?

Caitlin?

She's going to be okay, isn't she?

She is, isn't she?

Hey, hi.

Jim, she's awake.

- Caitlyn we're here.

- [Doctor] Do you know where you are?

- A hospital?

- Do you know what day it is?

- Saturday.

- [Doctor] Well she's coherent,

she might have a mild concussion,

but the seatbelt saved your life.

- Oh, thank heaven.

- I really messed up, didn't I?

- Everything is okay.

- Is she all right?

Is she?

- She's just had a bad bump to the head?

- You need to rest.

Can I talk to you outside?

I want to keep her overnight for observation.

- Does it hurt?

- The doctor said she's okay.

- Listen Griff man, we gotta be cool, you know.

Nobody saw us with her when she took the Jeep.

- We can't let her take the rap.

They could send her back to juvie hall.

- She's already got a record, you know.

We don't.

- It's not right, Eric.

- Look, do you want to go to jail?

Cool.

So we say, we rode our bikes at the diner, okay?

And when we left, the Jeep was still at the ranch.

I'm gonna go.

- We should've stopped there.

Caitlin?

- Don't worry.

I'll keep you out of it.

(upbeat music)

- Look, we know you're still recovering Caitlin.

We're just trying to understand,

what was going through your head.

Why did you do it?

- Teenage hormones.

- Look, stealing a car is not a part of growing up.

It's a criminal offense.

You don't see Griffen doing this kind of thing.

- No, your son's a model citizen.

- You know, the Jeep is a write-off.

- Big deal, insurance will pay for it.

- Where do you think you're going?

- I'm going to ride my horse.

- First of all, you're not well enough to go riding.

And secondly, you're grounded.

No horse and no television.

- Wait until when?

- Until I say so.

- You can't stop me from seeing Bandit.

- They have to charge her.

I mean, we are the owners of the Jeep.

- She broke the law.

- Jim, one of the conditions of her being here,

is that she stay out of trouble.

If you charge her,

they're just going to send her back to another foster.

- I don't charge her.

I don't charge her,

it'll look like I'm protecting her.

- Okay, fine.

If that's the way you feel,

then you might as well just pack her bags right now.

- I don't want her to go any more than you do.

- We've given her all the love and understanding we can,

but we can't control her.

She is damaged.

- Jim, I said that I was going to give her a home

and I am not going back on that promise.

- No matter what it does to you and me and Griffen?

- I can't stand this.

- You can't.

- Take your hands off me.

- If you ride Bandit, it's game over.

They'll send you back.

Do you really want to go back?

- I didn't want to come here in the first place.

- Do you want to go back?

- Yes.

- Do you want to go back?

- I said I did.

- I don't want you to.

Just going to take care of Bandit.

- You know, every morning I can hear him calling me

for his oats.

You're in the shower, this little noise,

when the water hits your head.

And Dori, Dori comes upstairs and she says,

Caitlin it's time to wake up.

And her voice, her voice is like this song.

And Jim, he loses his keys,

and calls up to her,

to find out where they are, every morning.

If I have to leave.

(caitlin sobbing)

- Its okay.

- Well, Griffen wasn't there.

He had nothing to do with it.

- I was with Caitlin when she took the Jeep.

- What?

- She drove me to the diner before the crash.

I could have stopped her, but I didn't.

- But Caitlin didn't say anything about that.

- She was protecting me.

I asked her to

- And Caitlin did that for you?

- She's really not that messed up.

- Yeah, that means a lot coming from you.

But Jim I am messed up.

I never should have done what I did.

And I'm really sorry.

- You should be sorry.

What you both did was a serious breach of the law.

But I know you've suffered because of it.

So I'll make the punishment fit the crime.

- Like what?

- You'll work it off.

I'll think of how.

- Are you going to get paid for whatever I do?

- No, why would you say that?

- I know you guys get paid for keeping me

and I saw the check

and that's how you bought the Jeep, isn't it?

- Is that why you took it?

- Oh Caitlin, it's been a really big misunderstanding.

- We wanted it to be a surprise.

- $1,007.

- We opened a trust fund in your name.

All your government checks go in it.

- It's mine?

- It's yours.

- I can do anything I want with it?

- We turn it over to you when you turned 21

and do whatever you want with it.

It's for your future.

- My future?

You mean I'm staying?

- Of course you're staying.

- No gross.

There's nothing worse than egg salad gone bad.

- I won the trip

I won the trip

I won the trip

I won the trip

Yes.

Has Jocelyn sent you her photo yet?

- No, not yet.

- That's too bad.

But I'll tell you what, when I get to Paris,

I'll give her a little bisou for you.

How does that sound?

- Yeah

- We get busted and he goes to Paris.

Where's the justice?

- Here, Jocelyn did send a photo.

I downloaded it.

- No way.

- Way.

Jocelyn's a guy.

- Man the French have weird names.

- Oh, I'd love to see the look on his face

when he rings the doorbell.

- I bet you, he even shows up with flowers.

So even while I'm picking up trash,

my bank account is earning interest.

That's so awesome.

There's a million things I'm going to buy with all my money

when I finally get it.

But I'm going to save a few bucks for Dori and Jim.

They're the ones who gave me my first trust fund

and gave me a reason to trust them.
