03x11 - Love Seduces Innocence, Pleasure Entraps, and Remorse

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Switched at Birth...

Being in Peru makes me feel like my life means something.

Are you saying you don't want to be with me anymore?

Of course I do, but this work... it's going to be my life.

What fraternity is t*nk in again?

Omega Psi!

One of them invited me to that luau they're having.

It's a dogfight.

A what?

One of these days, all these girls are gonna get together and pull a dogfight on you guys.

Not cool, bro.

This is a buyout agreement for a business we're tearing down in East Riverside to make room for our project.

He asked me what I thought and I said it was a good deal.

It is... for your boss.

You have a text from "Mandy"? So are you two, like, together?

* say, do you really want to be *
* the way we used to go...

Uh, I...

Can't feel my legs.

Oh, sorry.

(Chuckles)

See what I did there?

Yeah, very funny.

(Chuckles)

Read my lips.

Yeah.

Less bad jokes, more kissing.

Ah.

Oh, uh...

Uh...

Sorry.

Jorge.

(Stammers)

(Groans)

You haven't told him about us.

No.

Guess he knows now.

Bay: The artist's name is Todd Grafton.

He took the picture in 1994.

It's the same picture.

It's in his book of photography, too.

But... the album that it came from is called "My Snaps." You showed it to me.

If Mandy is passing off work as her own, what else is she lying about?

There's something off here, Emmett.

Okay, uh... all right, that is not it, okay?

I care about you. I don't want to see you get hurt.

You've never even met her!

You are?

I didn't know.

(Tool clatters)

You should have told me.

I know.

I was looking for the right moment.

Walking in on the two of you making out... yeah, that was perfect.

I'm so sorry about that.

(Sighs) You're a great guy and you deserve better.

Look, you've made your choice.

I'm not happy about it, but your community service is over in a week.

Let's get through it and work together like professionals and you and Campbell can go live happily ever after.

Actually I was gonna ask Dr. J if I could keep volunteering after my hours are up.

Fine.

You do me a favor?

Anything.

Spare me any more P.D.A....

A.

Your signing's gotten really good.

Do you have a second?

No.

Jess said you wanted me to get these buyout contracts signed?

Yeah, 3000 block of ashland.

Chop chop.

Actually... (Clears throat)

I'd prefer not to.

Why not?

I don't think you're playing fair with the owners.

Really? Have you been hearing complaints?

No, but that's because you've been lying to them about the value of the properties.

(Sighs)

Value is subjective.

I offered what I felt their businesses were worth.

They were free to disagree or get a second opinion.

You gave me false information. They trusted me...

It wasn't false.

And you used that.

So now it's my fault that they trusted you?

No, that's on me, but moving forward I would like to stick to what you hired me for.

You're a business owner now, Regina.

If you want to keep K&D in the black, you need to be willing to play advantages when they come your way.

I'll take my chances.

So I don't have to...

No.

You've lost your value. I want the design specs for the main lobby by lunch.

Boo!

Whoa.

Oh, sorry. A little p*rn before art?

Yes, I am looking up p*rn before our lecture on the art of Ancient Greece.

Actually, uh...

I was just... you remember that thing I was telling you about my friend Emmett, how he's dating this girl that he met online?

Yeah.

Okay, do you think it's weird that when you search for her, her name only pops up on the website where he met her?

That's definitely weird.

I was afraid that you'd think I was caring too much.

No, I think you're being a good friend.

Uh, you have a picture of this girl, right? Off that site?

Yeah, miss deep thoughts.

(Laughs) Well, you can do a reverse image search.

See if her photo pops up anywhere else.

A reverse what?

A reverse image search.

I used it once when I met this girl on spring break in Mazatlan.

I never got her number, but I had her photo in my phone.

So I search her picture, it turns out she lives in Akron, but she's a lesbian.

Yeah, that's not gonna work out.

(Both laugh)

Okay, so how do you do it?

Teacher: Would you all please take your seats?

I'll show you later.

Today we're going to study the impressionist era.

Ask Colin if he'll do a double shift. Yeah, thank you.

(Beeps)

Well, Toby hasn't shown up for work.

Kathryn?

Someone leaked my book.

What?

How did that happen?

I have no idea, but they hate it.

I'm sure they don't hate it.

Uh, "I can't decide which I hate more, Kennish's staccato style or the sleazy sports sexcapades."

Well... they're just trying to be quippy.

I'd ignore them if I were you.

These pages were a first draft.

I hadn't even gotten notes from Lydia yet.

Oh my God, Lydia!

What if she thinks I leaked my own pages?

Let's just review here, all right?

You showed the pages to me, to Lydia... anyone else?

Renzo.

Renzo!

(Elevator dings)

So I figured I should find out if I really love medicine before committing the next

12 years of my life to it.

Let me talk to the board chair.

We might be able to wrangle up a part-time paid position.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, that's awesome. Thank you.

Good night. See you tomorrow.

So, Daphne, you want to go out sometime?

Uh...

(Shouts, screams)

Catch.

Come on, man, let's go!

(Sobs)

(Elevator dings)

He's gone.

Are you sure?

Yeah, Daphne said he had a bandaged left arm.

I treated a drug addict with an arm abscess.

Adam Larson. Desk clerk saw him sign out.

That's him.

So he att*cked you?

When?

Uh...

Last year.

Was the guy ever caught?

He served his time. I guess he's out now.

If he comes here again, I'll b*at the living crap out of him.

I got this, Campbell.

Why don't you go back to work?

I'm okay.

If you need me, I'll be right outside.

That guy shouldn't be allowed back here.

That's not how this place works.

We have to treat whoever needs medical care.

(Scoffs)

Even if he's dangerous?

He didn't show any violent behavior.

If he had, we would have called 911.

And it might have been too late.

Look, I take what he did to you very seriously.

If and when he were to come back, we'd keep a close eye on him.

Beyond that there's nothing we can do about it.

Like it or not, we have to treat every patient with the same respect.

Is this because of me and Campbell?

What?

Is this your way of... getting back at me?

Daphne, this is the job... to help people no matter who they are.

And if you can't deal with that, you shouldn't go into medicine.

(Laughs) Of course it wasn't me.

Do I look like an Asian Julian Assange?

Although I could rock that platinum blond hair.

You're the only one I showed it to and I know how much you love those gossip blogs.

Oh my God.

You're serious.

There's no other explanation.

And now my book is out there for everyone to judge, and I haven't even finished it yet.

I've supported your writing from the start, took you to New York, introduced you to Lydia... why would I sabotage all that now?

Because you love to stir things up, create a little drama.

(Sighs)

Do you know why I was late to class?

My friend's in the hospital starting chemo.

I have other things going on in my life besides you and your book.

I don't know what kind of friend you think I am, but I'm starting to wonder if you've ever been mine.

(Door closes)

_

(Door opens, closes)

Daphne: You're my probation officer.

Please don't make me go back there.

The Segrave Clinic is your state-ordered assignment.

You can't just pick and choose where you serve.

What about time off for good behavior?

I've worked really hard, just ask Dr. Jackson.

Only a judge can do that.

Fine, let's go talk to a judge.

Even if the courts got involved, this would take weeks to play out.

You only have one week left to serve.

This is so unfair.

I should not have to face the guy who att*cked me.

When you saw him, did he say anything to you, did thr*aten you in any way?

No.

My advice? Go back to the clinic, keep your head down, finish out your service.

(Sighs)

I'm not going to say I told you so...

Thank you.

But I knew that man was using you.

Fine. You were right, I was wrong. Satisfied?

No, I am not.

I feel sick to my stomach knowing our friends, our neighbors, are being swindled and that you continue to work for the man responsible.

I don't exactly have a choice, okay?

I tried to quit once and Wes wouldn't let me.

What are you, his sl*ve?

He gave me a $50,000 salary advance to buy K&D, so yeah, in a way I am.

At least now I'm back to doing what I was hired to do.

And your reputation? What about that?

What about it?

Never mind.

Ma, spit it out.

I hear people are calling you la malinche.

(Scoffs) Cortes's whore?

They think I'm sleeping with my boss?

You too? Oh, thanks a lot.

Regina, I barely recognize you these days, so caught up in your fancy new car and your expensive clothes.

Where is the woman I raised, the one with such integrity?

I am right here, ma.

I care about these people, I swear.

I just don't know what else to do.

You fight back.

(Knocks)

John: Toby.

Toby, what the hell is going on?

I've been calling you. You haven't shown up for work.

You... Toby!

Tobe?

What happened?

(Sighs)

You were right.

You tried to tell me.

Everybody tried to tell me.

Tell you what?

That me and Nikki...

(Sighs) wouldn't work out.

I guess you can say "I told you so."

Honey, I'm not going to do that.

(Whispers) Oh, sweetie.

Do you know how much I wish I had been wrong?

I feel so stupid.

No.

Do you know how many stupid things I've done in my life?

Listen to me.

You tried, okay?

No one can ever say you didn't try.

What you're doing right now takes courage, to recognize this and to move on and I'm really proud of you.

I'm a 19-year-old divorcé.

And you will learn from this.

I don't wanna learn from it.

I wanna be with her.

I know, I know.

Your mom and I, we're there for you.

We're gonna get you out of this lease, you move back in with us.

Everything's gonna be fine, okay?

Okay, now find her picture.

(Beeps)

(Cellphone chimes)

Ha! I'm not gonna be blackballed.

Thank God.

Ohh.

Honestly, I was a little worried.

A bunch of the guys in my pledge class kind of freaked out about the whole thing.

And I was afraid if they took a vote, it'd be close.

What, seriously?

Here, now you take her picture... and you drag it.

Yeah, but then the coach got involved and he was like, "if t*nk gets kicked out, it's gonna cause a lot of drama on the team."

So the only reason you're still in is because of the coach?

(Beeps)

I... I mean...

Oh, there she is!

Heyward?

The one in K.C.? I thought you said she was from Seattle.

That's what Emmett said.

Her name is Jennifer Murray.

No, it's Mandy something. Uh... Mandy Starling.

She seems to think her name is Jennifer Murray.

Why would she lie about her name and where she lives?

Maybe she has a boyfriend?

Are you going to tell Emmett?

No, no way.

He is already pissed.

I gotta find out more before I say anything.

Well, it looks like we're staking out cheerleader practice at Heyward tomorrow.

(Laughs)

Regina: Hey, Juanita.

Hi.

I'm not here on business.

These need some serious work.

All right. Let's find you a color.

Hmmm.

I'm really gonna be sad to see this place go.

Really?

Really.

Um...

If you...

Don't mind my asking, have you signed anything yet?

No. When I saw you, I thought maybe you're...

Like I said, I'm not here on business.

Though if I were the owner of this place, I'd want to make sure I got my money's worth.

Have it appraised, get a lawyer to look at the contract.

Would you?

Just to cover my bases.

After all, value is subjective.

For all I know, your salon could be worth a whole lot more than what they're offering.

Huh.

Interesting.

I mean, that's just me.

Off the record, of course.

Of course.

How about... this?

Perfect.

Angelo.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

(Sighs) It's okay. Thanks for coming over.

You want a brownie?

Yes, please!

Thanks.

What's going on?

Um, I was wondering if maybe I could come work at the restaurant once it's open?

I would love it.

But what about medicine?

I thought you loved the clinic.

(Sighs)

Daphne, what's going on?

You have to promise that you're not going to go punch somebody out.

I promise.

One of the guys who att*cked me on the food truck came into the clinic for treatment.

Did he hurt you?

No, not at all. He didn't even remember me.

I just don't ever want to... see him or think about him ever again.

Of course. You shouldn't have to.

It just got me thinking... maybe I'm not cut out for medicine.

You know, if I had to work on a... r*pist or a m*rder*r, I... I don't think I could do that.

And besides, cooking's always been what I love, so...

Okay, the job is yours.

Thanks.

Hey, I gotta get going pretty soon.

There's this one brother who is trying to use the last couple weeks of pledging to get us to clean his room, do a bunch of his homework.

(Sighs) I cannot wait till I'm a brother... and I can do that to some other pathetic pledge. (Laughs)

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Doesn't it bother you that these guys who are supposed to be your friends didn't stand up for you?

Well, I did break the rules by telling you about that thing.

Okay, but they know you and they know what a great guy you are.

You're clearly dedicated to the place, like to the core.

So you told one person about a party that never should've happened in the first place?

And after everything you've gone through with your pledge brothers... the bowling balls, the keg stands, cleaning toilets, who knows what else... shouldn't they have stood up for you and said, "if he goes, we go"?

Why are you always dumping on my fraternity?

I'm not. I just...

No, these guys have gone through a lot and they don't want to jeopardize themselves either, which I understand.

I just don't get why you want to be a part of that stupid world.

You're better than them. Ever since I walked into that house and that one guy was trying to sleep with me... Ledge...

Cliff!

Whoever!

Every interaction that I've had with them has made me wonder why you want to be part of it.

I'm sitting here, helping you stake out your ex-boyfriend's girlfriend.

What am I doing? Why do I keep doing these things for someone who clearly thinks I'm a complete idiot?

t*nk!

I don't think...

(sighs)

Kathryn: You told Toby he could move back home?!

Of course I did, sweetie. He's a mess, he needs us now.

(Sighs) Do you really think that's the best thing for him?

I absolutely ag...

Hey, we still keep the passports in the study, right?

Uh, yeah, the...

Toby, is everything okay? Honey?

I was sitting in my apartment alone, feeling sorry for myself, and then I remembered what you said.

What'd I say?

That I need to give it my all.

I'm going to Peru! I'm going after her!

Wait a second. I never said anything...

The only reason that we broke up was because of circumstances.

I can change those circumstances.

What are you going to do there?

I'm gonna be her husband!

I love Nikki and... I'm Christian enough.

And I can save my marriage and help people at the same time.

Don't try to talk me out of this. I'm happy.

I gotta get a typhoid sh*t.

Love you!

I thought you said he was depressed.

He was!

We gotta stop him.

Last time we tried that, he ignored us and went off and got married.

Yesterday you accused me of not playing fair in east riverside.

Well, today Juanita Perez and three other owners suddenly lawyer up, asking for a ton more money.

Getting a lawyer involved is good business.

Well, biting the hand that feeds you is not.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Spare me the B.S. I'm rescinding all unsigned contracts, and offering 10% less than what I did before.

What?

And they have you to thank.

Of course now it'll look like you're the one playing people off each other.

Wes, please, do what you want to me, but don't...

Don't worry, I got big plans for you.

First, I'm going to be suing for breach of fiduciary duty.

You took what I said in confidence and you used it against me...

You played dirty, I played dirty.

Uh-huh.

Jess, call security, have them escort Ms. Vasquez from the building.

You're fired, of course.

Oh, and I want my car back.

Of course.

And I expect a cashier's check for the balance of your salary advance by the end of the business day tomorrow.

Hi.

(Sighs)

I am so so sorry.

I shouldn't have accused you of that.

It was awful of me.

How's your friend?

He's hanging in there.

Do you wanna blow off class and go eat a cinnamon roll the size of your face?

Yes!

Yes.

My son's running off to Peru to be with his child bride and now my book's dead.

What do you mean your book's dead?

You read the review.

(Scoffs)

That review was written by some wannabe writer with her own unfinished herotica gathering dust in some drawer somewhere.

You should wear that review like a badge of honor.

Kathryn, what's the worst thing that can happen with this thing?

It bombs. My name is dragged through the mud.

I'll be humiliated.

So?

That's easy for you to say.

You're not putting yourself out there like this.

Are you kidding me?

What do you think it was like coming out to my super Catholic Filipina mother 20 years ago?

Or my grandmother? No one in my family was giving me pats on the back for that announcement, trust me.

But if I lived my life worrying about everyone approving of everything I did, I'd never leave the house.

But everyone loves you.

Ehh.

What?

You think I don't know your husband flinched the first time we shook hands?

John's come a long way since then.

Yes, he has, but the point is it doesn't matter.

This is me. If it makes other people uncomfortable, that's their problem.

I wish I could be more like that.

You can.

So your book bombs?

Big deal! You tried something!

Unless you want to climb back on that safe little boat I found you on.

No.

I don't.

You didn't want me working for Wes to begin with. I thought you'd be happy!

Happy? I'm up to my ears with bills for the restaurant and now you owe 50 grand?! You have that kind of money?

Because if you expect me to bail you out...

Don't worry, I will figure it out myself, just like I always have.

How?

Dig up new business, liquidate assets. Anything is better than working for that lying son of a bitch.

Do you think working for Christy is a piece of cake?

She's all over my ass every day!

But I take it for the sake of building a better future for us.

Angelo, this is not about money, my integrity was on the line.

Can your integrity pay our bills?

I am not getting my job back.

End of story.

(School bell rings)

Uh, hi, excuse me. Hi.

This is a weird question, but are you Mandy?

Or do you ever go by Mandy or do you know a Mandy?

Why are you doing that?

You're not deaf.

No.

And your name isn't Mandy.

Nope.

Uh, sorry.

Do you know a guy named Emmett Bledsoe?

No again.

Uh, it's just there's this guy, my friend, he thinks he's in a relationship with you and that your name is Mandy starling and that you're deaf and live in Seattle.

This is getting a little creepy.

I'm so sorry I've clearly made a huge mistake.

Yep.

(Sighs) My cousin's deaf.

Maybe they know each other.

Who's your cousin?

(Vibrating)

* get up and get moving *
* this is your best chance to shake it up *
* maybe, baby, let's get out and dance *
* so you're feeling like a ball of energy *
* you got friends, you got love *
* you got family... *

(Engine starts)

* you're at the top of your game *

♪ yeah, it's abundantly clear ♪

* you're gonna rock it even harder than you did last year. *

Have a seat. It shouldn't be too long.

I need a doctor.

I need a doctor!

I'll... uh... let me find one.

He's back.

Where does it hurt?

My stomach.

Are you on anything?

Man, I'm trying to quit.

When'd you last sh**t?

(Groans) Yesterday.

Find me an exam room.

Okay, come on, come on.

(Groaning)

Oh my God!

Excuse me.

Exam one's open!

(Hissing)

Just walk with me, walk with me.

Breathe. Breathe. You're doing great.

Sit down, lay your head, lay your head.

(Moaning)

Okay, okay. Relax, relax. I need you to hold still.

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

What's wrong with him?

Heroin withdrawal. He quit cold turkey, now he's dehydrated.

Oh God, make it stop!

Okay okay, he needs an I.V.

Find me someone to assist.

Ow, please help me!

Breathe.

Okay, breathe.

I'll do it.

You sure?

(Wheezing)

Okay, hold his left arm still.

(Sobbing)

Adam, you need to calm down so we can help you.

(Groans)

All right, he's still moving too much.

Adam, look at me. Look at me!

Just focus on me, okay?

You can let go.

Thanks.

Honey, hi.

Hey.

So Peru's a long flight. I thought you might need this.

Thanks.

You know, you can get a lot more in if you actually fold them.

I don't have time to fold. My flight's in six hours and I still have to go to the currency exchange place to get peso or nuevos or whatever they call them in Peru.

Wait, you're leaving tonight?

Yeah, it's the only flight I could get.

Honey, please, stop.

Please take a day. Think about it.

I don't need to think about it.

I made a commitment to Nikki.

We exchanged vows. I have to go.

You of all people should understand that.

I do understand.

I followed your father around for 20 years and then one day I woke up and realized that I had completely lost myself.

If you follow Nikki to Peru because that is the only way to keep her, you're gonna resent her.

(Sighs)

I can't spend my life working at a car wash to come home to a sad little apartment that I was supposed to share with my wife.

That's just fear talking.

That is not a reason to go.

Then what am I supposed to do now?

I don't know, honey.

Anything. Everything.

You have your whole life ahead of you. You're so amazing.

And there's one thing I know, when a door closes, a window opens.

You just gotta find that window.

(Grunts)

But I just bought it, four hours ago... why can't I just get a refund?

Yes, I understand what the term "non-refundable" means, which is crazy because I just spent over two grand!

Okay, fine.

What are my options?

How is he?

He's resting.

How are you?

Okay.

You were really brave in there.

I was so scared, but then something changed.

I guess I just saw him as a... person.

You're going to be a great doctor.

Thank you.

Kathryn: That was Lydia.

You're not gonna believe this. She leaked my book.

Your editor? Why?

Publicity.

(Laughs) Apparently I'm trending through the roof.

Talk shows are calling for interviews.

They're negotiating with "Sports Illustrated" to print more excerpts of my book.

(Mildly) Wow.

She says I'm in for the ride of my life.

Aren't you excited, honey?

Yeah, of course I am.

It's just that Toby left us this note on his way to the airport.

He's going to Peru?

Nope.

Iceland.

Iceland?

What the hell is he doing?

He found a window.

Daphne: I'm just glad to finally be past it.

I'm proud of you, sweetie.

Thanks.

There's still Angelo's job offer to consider.

It's a great opportunity, but...

You want to be a doctor.

Yeah.

Do you think he'll be upset?

To have a doctor in the family? He'll be over the moon.

(Laughs) I'm proud of you too.

Me?

How hard you've been working, helping out the old neighborhood.

Actually, there's something I need to tell you...

Are you okay?

I think so.

Oh my God.

(Sighs) Right.

Okay, uh...

"Rivas Canyon trail."

Two miles to the branch.

Thank you, Travis.

Hey. Hey, Mary Beth.

Hi.

Hey, um, I just... I wanted to...

I just depledged my fraternity.

Are you serious?

Yeah, um...

I haven't told anyone yet. I just...

I wanted you to know.

Wow.

Yeah, everything Bay said just started to sink in and, um, uh...

I'm still kind of in shock.

I'm sure.

Hey, can you not tell Bay? I want to do it.

Of course. Absolutely.

(Laughs)

Okay.

Okay.

I'll see you.

Okay.

(Exhales)

Emmett, oh my God! What... what happened? Wh... what did he do to you?

Are you okay? Didn't you get any of my texts?

Because he's sick, Emmett.

He is a sick person to do that.

Who cares?

So what?

You are Emmett Bledsoe. Everybody loves you.

You came here looking for some other girl.

* I gathered up... *

You know I love you.

* built a wall... *

I never stopped.

* but they walk through walls *
* and I'm trapped inside *
* oh ho *
* oh-ho oh *
* oh, where there's shadow, there is light *
* love is in the battle cry *
* even in the darkest night *
* there is shadow, there is light *
* hold your heart up to the fire *
* walk across the razor wire *
* even in the cruelest fight *
* love is in the battle cry *
* love is in the battle cry

* oh ho *
* oh-ho oh *
* oh ho. *
