Ride (2016) s01e12 Episode Script

Who Rules the School

1 (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hello! (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Kit? She had no right to speak to me like that.
I'll talk to her.
But first I need you to reconsider this whole TK situation, that's all.
It's too late for that.
Who runs things, Mr.
Bridges? You or your teenage daughter? You don't get it.
We're a team.
We're still figuring things out, and I - (KNOCK ON DOOR) I'm really sorry to disturb you, Lady Covington, sir, but it's Kit.
I've looked everywhere and she's gone.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hi.
My name's Kit.
I'm wondering if we could be friends.
What are you; why are you? You're in London! Lady Covington sent TK away.
Oh.
I'm so sorry we had a fight.
I didn't mean it, and then you were gone, and I needed to talk to you, and only you.
First, tell me what happened.
Lady C said that TK was too dangerous, and dad actually agreed with her.
He's clearly lost his mind.
And then Will said, Will said weird stuff about moving on, and that I should leave.
He said that? I think so.
He wasn't exactly clear.
Oh, Will! This whole thing is the worst thing that has happened to me since I was here.
Well, besides the fact that we got in a ginormous fight, and you left the school.
What are you going to do? Lady C said she sold him.
All I know is that he's somewhere in France.
So I'm going.
And I'm going with you.
I was hoping you would say that.
When do we leave? MADHU: I think your families would feel differently about that plan.
But who says we have to ask them? And she's safe? (SIGH) Does she know how worried I've been? We've been looking everywhere! I thought - Anything could have happened.
MADHU: She's fine, Mr.
Bridges.
I can assure you she will be well taken care of.
RUDY: I have no doubt about that, ma'am, but you tell her to be ready for some pretty large consequences, yeah? I believe she's aware.
RUDY: Thank you for calling me.
And for taking care of Kit.
MADHU: It's my pleasure.
Shall I put her on the phone? RUDY: No, I'm not ready.
Think about what I want to say to her.
Let her have the night before she faces my parental wrath.
Thank you.
Bye.
She's okay.
Till she gets back into my sight.
After that I'm not making any promises.
She was only gone a couple of hours.
Why is everyone so upset? Cause knowing Kit, a lot of action could have happened in a couple of hours.
It's not exactly like her donkey's roaming the streets of London.
No one can find him? NAV: I'm looking into a new lead.
I spoke with my father.
He has a contact, a scout for horses.
They always know where a horse of good breeding ends up.
These are the kinds of things you can do when you're him.
(LAUGHTER) JOSH: Actually, I'm glad you're here.
Can you do us a favour? JOSH: Gather round the Cup, boys! (CHEERING) This is the Covington House Cup, ladies.
Just saying.
WILL: Such a solid win, yeah? JOSH: Yeah! You know, no one likes a sore winner, which means people must really hate you.
(CLINK) Alright, whatever.
Alright, boys.
Yeah! (CAMERA CLICKS) Am I grounded? Given that you have been separated, I was thinking that we could allow you one night of supervised fun.
(GIGGLING) Room 148.
Thank you.
Can we order two burgers, vanilla ice cream, and cookies! Cookies! Crisps, yeah.
Pizza! And pizza! (GASPS) Cheers! Try this, try this.
Oh, no way! Yup, yup.
You can do that? It's so good! It is! Mmm! I know! Mmm! Mmm! (LAUGHS) Mm-hmm.
So good.
Oh, my God! I want to ride like that! You will.
I want to ride like that! There, I put it out on Blurter.
Lost, one slightly insane horse, answers to TK.
Mostly black, entirely moody.
That's not very specific, is it? Well, I said he's probably in France, and likes to eat paper.
Lights out, girls.
It's very late.
Yes, Madhu.
I'm so sorry I lied to you.
I know.
I'm sorry, too.
It just felt like everyone was in on the secret except me.
And I wanted to text you as soon as I left, but I couldn't figure out what to say.
I'm so sorry.
Wait.
Is that a royal apology? No princess jokes.
(LAUGHS) You fellas ready for movie night? The cast is screening an epic mixed martial arts marathon in the student lounge.
Wa-ha! It's gonna be pretty sick.
I'm going to study.
Yeah, and I'm going to my room, seeing as how Leo won't be there.
He's an awful roommate.
Snores worse than my nan.
Speaking of which, I was wondering if we could discuss reversing this little room dance that you've done? I would like Will back as my roommate now, please.
(GASP) Bro, you wound me.
WILL: Well, it might be time, right? Fun's over, Josh.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
The bet was not I get your room for a few days, okay? The bet was I get your room for the rest of the year.
Alright, but Nav's saying he doesn't want you there.
And since when do you care about his feelings? You specifically trained me because you wanted him beaten.
No, no, no.
You said "humiliated.
" Is that true? NAV: Very sportsman like, William.
And very kind.
I just thought you needed to learn a lesson.
Oh, I learned something.
Come on, roomie.
We've got a movie to catch.
I felt like I could tell you anything, and I just wanted you to feel the same way.
I do, and you're my best friend.
Do you think you would ever go back? To Covington? I would like to.
Great.
Because I'm thinking that heading to France isn't such a good idea.
I'll come back with you.
Tomorrow.
Good.
And then we can start finding another way to get TK back.
And also, I have to face Lady C.
She probably has the dungeon all prepared for me.
Dad? I'm so sorry.
I'm not going to yell, I'm not going to scream, I'm not going to lock you in your room.
Don't do that again.
Ever.
I just really wanted to find TK, and I needed Anya.
Alright, spit spot, you two now.
We've got a great class we've got to jump straight into.
The girls are back! Hey! (LAUGHING) And the fun score of the school just went up two thousand percent! Ladies, we missed you.
SALLY: Ladies, take your seats, please.
Our next writing project - Hey.
SALLY: - will explore narrative voice; writing from within another perspective.
In order to find those voices, first we will begin by researching our family tree.
Choose an ancestor who interests you.
Ah, thank you.
Katherine, your presence is requested in the headmistress' office, please.
See you later.
You know, if I'm alive and stuff.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATING) Elaine, we don't read our phones in class.
Can you confiscate his, too, then? Come on.
Come on.
Oh.
I could hope they would have a tad more grace after winning.
It's not even the winning.
I just miss the celebration you always put together for us after we've won.
Well, after all your hard work and hard training, you girls deserve a treat.
I just wish they'd stop rubbing it in.
Well, you know what they say.
Pride goeth before a fall.
Yeah, if that were true then Josh and the other boys would have all fallen off the edge of the earth by now.
Perhaps, but they may yet be surprised by a fall from their pedestal.
These rules exist not only to protect the reputation of the school, but also to protect you.
Your actions were reckless, selfish, and inconsiderate.
You worried your father half to death.
What's between me and my dad's between - This is the Covington rule book.
I would like you to learn it to the letter.
Okay, sure.
In particular, I would like you to pay attention to rule 421, which states all students, unless injured or otherwise prohibited physically from participation, will ride.
But you sold my horse.
I sold my horse.
If you do not follow these rules, Katherine, I will have to expel you.
Would you like to leave Covington, Katherine? No, Lady Covington.
Then you will ride.
Tomorrow.
Yes, Lady Covington.
If you do not ride tomorrow, you will leave - I beg your pardon? I'll do it.
ANYA: I've got a bunch of replies back to my Blurter post.
This guy said he saw a black horse in Miami.
If TK is lounging poolside, I'm going to be so mad.
(LAUGHS) This girl says her nickname is TK.
Not very helpful.
In her case it stands for totally killing me with the random.
JOSH: (LAUGHS) (KNOCK ON DOOR) Attention, please.
Mr.
Bridges has an announcement for some of our boys.
I have some news for Juniper House.
After learning that it is a tradition to reward the House Cup winners, I am lining up a treat for you all tonight.
Yeah! Pizza and video games! Hey, you want to split a pepperoni, roomie? Please don't call me that! RUDY: I'm still ironing out the details with Lady Covington, but I wanted to give you all a heads up so you could get your gear ready.
Uh, excuse me.
Which gear are you referring to? Camping.
You're not going to get far in the wild without it.
KIT: I'm so jealous! Camping with my dad is awesome.
I went camping once in France, with my cousins.
It was really good.
We had this awesome yurt thing.
A yurt? Aren't those those big, round tents with furniture in them? Not quite, I suspect, what Mr.
Bridges has in mind.
We stayed outside.
We went fishing and stuff.
Anyway, when have you ever slept in anything other than a feathery bed? This is so weird.
Westingate, the place where my mom grew up, it doesn't seem to exist.
Maybe you've got the wrong name? Nope.
I checked with my dad and everything.
She used to talk about this nearby beach she went to as a kid.
It's not real, either.
Sometimes places change.
How did it go with Lady C? I have to follow all the rules or I get booted out of Covington.
Hmm.
And I have to ride another horse, I guess.
Well, you can't.
You already tried.
Do you remember fainting at the sight of a little pony? You sure know how to reassure a girl.
Elaine says I'm awful at talking to girls.
I think I'm awful at talking in general, really.
Like, about feelingy stuff, you know? I get it.
Have you met my dad? (LAUGHS) I polished TK's tack for you.
For when he comes home, cause you're going to get him back, Kit.
I know you will.
RUDY: That's it, Josh! Good, good.
Much better.
Without TK, I'm good.
I'm going to ride.
RUDY: Kit! I have to.
I'm going to ride.
I have to.
RUDY: You okay? Uh, yeah.
It's going to be fine.
You okay? I just, I'm going to ride.
I have to.
Okay, well let's just go slowly, huh? There is no slow.
I've wasted enough time already, and he's getting further and further away every day, and she wants me to ride so I'm going to ride.
Okay.
It's not the same.
I can't do it.
No, I can't.
I just need a breather.
(CRYING) (CRYING) (KNOCK ON DOOR) Come along.
We're going for a ride.
I can't.
I'll never ride again.
Not without TK.
Pack your tears away.
We're going.
I don't have TK, and any other horse feels like a betrayal.
So I can't meet your rules, or conditions, or whatever you call it.
I know your thoughts and feelings, Katherine.
It's time to go.
But this is a bike helmet.
Sharp as ever.
Come on.
RUDY: Yeah, we're just waiting on one or two more, and then we should be ready, alright? Sneakers and a comic book.
Do you plan to survive the night, son? This is all we had when we went camping in France.
Nicely done.
I didn't think you'd know the first thing about camping.
Thank you, Mr.
Bridges.
Now who's going to carry the rest of my belongings? Should I call my driver? What's all this? Um, a portable television, a Blueray player, a battery powered fridge, solar powered shower.
JOSH: My money's on cold showers, boys.
Those clouds aren't letting Mr.
Sun through any time soon.
That's alright.
I can handle a little bit of rain.
And so can I.
I've survived monsoons.
I'd like to see you survive a wet weekend in Wales.
I'd like to see you trek across the Argentine Pampas, in forty degree heat.
I'd like to see you two stop bickering.
WILL: It's not my fault if he can't handle coming in third.
You betrayed me! But I ought to thank you because I'd rather be stuck living with Josh than with your two-faced behaviour.
Dude, what?! Stuck with me? I thought roomies were supposed to have each other's backs.
Well, so did I.
(THUNDER) I thought you were way too lady like to go skidding through the puddles and mud like that.
(LAUGHS) Being afraid of a little dirt shows signs of poor character.
One must be willing to muck in, no matter what the weather.
When I was little, my mom used to send me out into the rain on purpose.
She said, "No matter how wet you get, you can always get dry.
" Maybe she meant the same thing.
Perhaps.
You know, when I was younger, I rode my bicycle the entirety of this country.
From the southern part of England all the way up to the northern tip of Scotland.
And every night I would set up camp.
(LAUGHS) One night we had a huge thunder storm.
It was really quite frightening, and also very soggy.
But oh, the sunrise the next morning.
I've never seen anything like it.
And yes, I did get dry eventually.
It's impolite to stare, Katherine.
I'm sorry, I just, you! Cycling, camping! I can't compute.
It's like finding out Bigfoot is a real thing.
Well, as much as I enjoyed my bicycling adventure, eventually I had to return to my responsibilities, which is what I intended to teach you this afternoon.
So, you settled on the silent treatment, huh? Alright, fine.
Ruin the whole night for yourselves.
Actually, I think you kind of ruined it, Mr.
B.
It was your duty as the experienced camper to check the weather forecast prior to departure.
Yeah.
I know you think I don't know anything about camping, but I'm pretty sure it's meant to be outside.
RUDY: Well, yeah, part of it's about being outdoors, but it's also about, what do you call it? Bro time? (LAUGHS) Bro time? Please don't speak like Josh, Mr.
Bridges.
One is more than enough.
Well, excuse me for trying to enrich your lives.
You know what? I've had it with all your bugging.
Later, skaters.
(LAUGHTER) JOSH: It kinda sounds good.
WILL: No it doesn't! NAV: No, it does not! Later skaters! WILL: Later, skaters.
NAV: I am certainly not Mr.
Bridges' bro.
I really do want you to stay at Covington, Katherine, but it does require some participation on your part.
I was participating.
I got on a horse.
That was huge for me.
Maybe you don't understand how huge.
After the accident, my mom never pressured me to ride.
She said that I would find it on my own, and I did, at Covington, with TK.
And now he's gone.
You're right.
Perhaps I didn't understand how huge it actually was.
KIT: Well, it was.
And I really want to stay at Covington, I'm just not ready to ride.
And I know the deal was I had to do it today, but - But you did.
You rode a bicycle.
I know how difficult this has been for you.
And TK.
Don't forget TK.
I think he deserves another chance.
I hope one day you'll understand that I sent him away for your own good.
I just really miss him.
Moving on is not forgetting.
Hey, maybe you could help! I'm doing this research for my family tree project, and I was going to do it on my mom, but - Oh.
KIT: I can't seem to find where she was from.
Westingate? I've never actually heard of that.
I've looked everywhere, and my dad is sure that's what she told us.
Are you sure you've never heard of it? Excuse me.
KIT: Lady Covington! Lady Covington! What did I say?
