South of Nowhere s02e09 Episode Script
Objects May Be Closer Than They Appear
You ok? I just had the worst dream.
What, that we went all Thelma and Louise on your family because they found out their daughter's gay? Yeah, good thing that'll never happen.
We're not crazy, right? I mean, I just can't let my mom keep us apart.
It's not right.
No, it's not right.
But we do have to go back and face her sooner or later.
- I vote for later.
- Ok, so where do you wanna go? You know what? We can go anywhere.
I love anywhere.
Spencer doesn't wanna answer her phone? Fine! You know what? That is it.
I'm calling the police they're putting on an Amber Alert! - Arthur.
- Paula, Paula, please.
We know they haven't been kidnapped.
Ashley's mom says she's done this before and she always comes home.
Well, you'll forgive me if I'm not following that woman's lead.
Spencer's been hurt.
I mean.
- She's just reacting to a traumatic - Wait.
Are you blaming me? Well you did everything but kick her out the door.
Paula.
I want you to go to work.
- I've got everything under control.
- Arthur.
If you stick around here, it is just gonna drive you crazy.
- I know, but Arthur - No, I call you the second I hear anything.
I promise.
Ok.
Ok, how about San Fransisco? - How many donuts did you have? - One? Four I'm sorry, I'm just so excited.
I'm so happy that we're away from everyone.
Just you, me and the donuts.
I think I can do better than donuts.
Hey.
Did you just forget to pick me up from the airport last night? No.
I left words with your mom since you didn't return any of my calls or texts while I was gone.
Did you like lose your cell phone or something? Maybe you should get a ride from your boyfriend.
- Yeah, that's what I thought I was doing.
- No, I mean your boyfriend back home.
Of course, I guess the commute from Baltimore would be a real bitch.
But it won't be the only one You know we could always rent a room.
I do have a credit card.
Who's gonna rent a room to two 17 years olds? Not only that but if you use your credit card you might as well just call your parents and tell them exactly where we're at.
Oh, right! Plus, we only need the room for less than a night.
Come on.
I believe you asked for the honeymoon suite.
Spencer.
Mirrors, oooh OK, I bet this place doesn't have room service, but I'm sure we can find a $5 candy bar over there.
I am not paying $5 for a freaking candy bar.
God, you're so not.
Alright, let's see.
We have some nice burning cheese curls Oh, check it out, Ash.
Hills have eyes.
Pay per view.
Only minus the pay part.
Oh, can we please watch something that actually involves skin? This has skin.
I mean, they're pealing it off the chick, but.
Creepy.
It's disgusting.
Relax.
God I wish we could stay here forever.
Oh, we have to keep moving.
Oh God, I totally spaced.
I told Aiden we'd call him.
- And let him know where we're at.
- Don't you just love him for helping us? Yeah, I usually hate him for stuff like that.
Hey look, free room, free food and free minutes.
At least I know you're not calling from jail, Ashley.
No, they haven't caught us yet.
I think the Carlins are pretty worried about you.
And they're not the only ones.
You said you were gonna call me from the road.
Yeah, yeah.
Take it out of my allowance, Mom.
Hey, hang on a sec.
Sorry, not important.
So are you guys at least being safe.
You know, you're so adorable when you're being protective.
Alright, fine.
Just Just don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Oh, I already did.
Twice.
Bye.
Gotta check out sometime.
We got a tank full of gas and nothing to slow us down.
Ashley.
Oh my God.
- She was unconscious when we got to her.
- Ok.
Oh my God.
- Hey Sean.
- What up? Have you seen Chelsea? No man, I can't say I have.
What's up? I've been looking for her all day today.
I haven't found her.
I don't know.
What if she went to the clinic to have an abor She wouldn't do that without talking to you.
Not that girl.
This whole thing's torn us apart.
Like we don't even know what to say to each other anymore.
It's like I can't even find the words.
Alright, question: do you feel any different about her now - than you did before you found out? - No.
I love her.
Nothing can change that.
Sounds like you found the words.
Spencer still hasn't called home yet.
You guys don't know where we are half the time anyway.
I mean, after you and mom go to sleep, we sneak out all the I mean - I mean not me.
But - I'm going to go talk to Aiden.
Hey, don't bother, ok.
Aiden, hey.
You heard from Spencer or Ashley? Nope.
I know you're being a good friend by not telling me where they are, but a better friend would wanna make sure that they're safe.
They're safe.
You better hope so.
Because if anything happens to my little girl, it's on you.
- Well? He didn't talk, did he? - He didn't have to.
Wow! I'm impressed.
Hello.
Starlight motel.
Yeah, we're you located? Thank you.
Now, a little bit scared.
Hey, listen.
Don't worry about Aiden.
Alright.
I'll keep him busy.
You just go find the girls.
Honey, its mom.
I'm here with Chelsea at the hospital.
Listen sweetheart, she was in a minor car accident.
And she's fine.
No, no she's doing okay.
But, I think she would love to see you.
Okay, drive safely.
We don't need both of you hurt.
How is nobody stopping for two hot girls? I'm telling you Ash.
You should of watched, hills have eyes.
They probably think we're the decoy for some inbreed psycho with a chainsaw for a hand.
You know that we don't have a spare tire right, Ash? Yeah, I took it out for beach equipment.
Oh cool! I guess we're walking then.
I mean, I think I remember a diner somewhere up the road, when we got lost.
Cool! You need to work off all that junk food anyway.
Chelsea Lewis's blood work? Thanks.
Let's see.
No drugs, no alcohol.
She's pregnant.
Look at it this way.
At least were working on our tans.
- Yeah, I hope coyotes don't like dark meat.
- That is so not funny.
Do you see me laughing? I just wanna go back their and have someone fix our tires so we can be back on the road.
And go where? We don't even know where we're going.
That didn't bother you before.
Spencer.
You regret coming with me, don't you? Ash, I don't regret coming out here with you.
I just wish that we were running to something rather than away from something.
You know the Stereophonics have a song that says: You have to go there to come back.
Yeah? What does the Stereophonics say about changing a tire? Love you.
Mrs.
Carlin? How did I get here? You passed out while driving your car into a pole.
But you were very lucky.
Only a couple cuts and bruises.
- So, I'm okay? - You're fine.
And so is the baby.
I can't believe this is happening.
This isn't me.
Does Clay know? Yeah.
But, I just But I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I feel like there's no way out, you know? Yeah, I do.
I know how you feel.
How could you? I got pregnant.
Before we were married.
With Glen.
- So, what should I do? - Oh, gosh honey, I don't know.
I mean the mother in me says one thing.
The doctor in me says another, and The catholic in me definitely has an opinion.
No, this is a decision that you have to make for yourself.
Ok? Not me, not your parents.
Not even Clay can make that for you.
Because you are the one that has to live with it.
Please tell me this is temporary and they're just renovating your regular gym.
Sorry man, I think I might stay.
The gym doesn't come equipped with such great scenery.
Hey, can I have a minute.
Yeah, if you can spare a minute from texting and calling your boyfriend.
You know what, go to hell.
Calling me a bitch and then snubbing me, and getting information from Madison.
If you wanna know about me, - how about asking me.
- Would you of lied to me, - or would you have told me the truth? - Yeah, okay.
I lied about why I went to Baltimore but I never ever lied about how I felt about you.
You didn't have to, you showed me.
You know I'm feeling really stupid I bought all your crap.
Like dancing and Shakespeare.
- Dude, you are a total chick.
- A chick that will whoop your ass.
Shut up.
- Come.
- Ok you wanna know about the new girl? Did I sleep around too much? Yes.
And I drank too much.
And I partied too much.
And I hurt my mom really bad.
And I almost got kicked out of school.
And if I didn't make a really drastic change, I am telling you, I would not be here right now.
Why didn't you tell me any of that? Because the one thing that I got when I came out here, was a clean slate.
And it felt really good that you liked me for who I was and not just that I was just a sure thing.
Look, maybe we should just start over.
You know start again, just as friends and see where it goes.
Friends? But Aiden I I broke up with Rick when I was at home.
Good! Then we really will have a clean slate to start with.
Your mother called.
I didn't want to wake you up.
But your parents are flying back now and they should be here in a few hours.
So, what did you tell them? Well, I told them that you would be just fine.
Now what? We have to get the hell out of here.
Do you girls need a lift some place? No thanks.
Is that your car I saw broken down on the side of the road, back there? You know if you got a flat, I've got some stuff to fix it in the trunk.
Uh, no thanks.
We're okay.
It's not safe out here, you know.
For pretty girls like you.
Hey come on.
Get in.
- Hey, I'm I'm just trying to be nice.
- Just go, go, go - I'm trying.
- Just get in.
Get in.
Go.
Come on.
Hey in there.
It was them.
They were here.
And you didn't see anyone come in or out of this room.
Okay, thanks for your help.
What do I owe you for this? $3.
75 for a candy bar.
Give me your cell.
Hey! Dad, I need you to come get us.
We're in some diner off some road called Phangley.
Please hurry.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to doze off like that.
That is ok.
Baby, you need to rest.
Here you go.
Clay, I I'm really sorry.
I didn't mean for anyone to find out I was pregnant.
Not your mom.
Not like this.
It's okay.
You're all right.
That's all that matters to me.
The rest of the stuff we can figure out Together.
Alright? - Spencer! - Dad! - Spencer - Dad Oh it's okay honey.
I got you.
Dad's here.
- Ashley, you okay? - I am now Mr.
C.
- Dad, I know what you're gonna say.
- I'm sorry.
Maybe I don't.
Spence, I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you.
I'm sorry that you felt like your home was a place that you couldn't be yourself.
A place you had to get away from.
- Dad - But that stops right now.
I'm gonna protect you.
Both of you.
The best way I can.
But running away isn't the answer.
Hey, I raised a fighter.
I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you prove me wrong.
You're the best girlfriend's dad I've ever had.
Do you think we'll actually have any privacy anymore, now that we're out to everyone? Probably not.
But your dad's cool.
I just wish you mom could be.
Yeah, she's not gonna like it.
- She's just gonna have to accept it.
- What? That I love you.
There she is.
Well Gotta check out some time.
What, that we went all Thelma and Louise on your family because they found out their daughter's gay? Yeah, good thing that'll never happen.
We're not crazy, right? I mean, I just can't let my mom keep us apart.
