Finding Carter

Previously on "Finding Carter"...

What, you've never heard of a girl who came home safe

and sound after being abducted 13 years ago?

I'm Ophie by the way.

I'm Bird.

Bird, I thought you were my friend.

I thought you were mine.

It's over with David.

Fingers crossed she can leave all of this behind

like the nightmare, I'm sure it's been.

I love you more.

What do you think?

It's pretty cool, right?

I get free slushies,

and I get all the microwave burritos that I can eat.

That turns out to be fewer than I thought.

Well, I'm really happy you're here.

Not as happy as me.

What I don't understand, really, is...

why you moved here.

Well, the free burritos, as I mentioned.

Max, you moved here from a different state.

You got a new job, new apartment.

That's a lot of change for somebody who

only owns one t-shirt.

I own more than one t-shirt.

They're just all the same as each other.

Did something happen?

You can tell me if it did.

Actually, I think you're the one person in the world

that I cannot tell.

Okay, well, now you have to tell me.

No, I promised I wouldn't.

Max... you're never gonna win this.

We can either go back and forth

for as long as it takes for you to tell me,

or we can save us both a lot of time,

and you can just tell me now.

I moved because I'm worried about you.

Why?

Is it because of that crash guy?

No, no, no.

I'm not worried about him.

Okay, then what?

I think it... that it's bad enough that you...

lost everything in your life once, and I just...

I don't think you should have to go through that again.

Why would I have to go through that again?

If Lori showed up.

What?

Max, you saw her?

Where?

At the gas station off the interstate.

That's why I came back.

You know, I... your mom is here.

I thought she left.

She wants to.

And she wants you to go with her,

but I wasn't sure if that's what you wanted.

Is that what you really want?

So, just be clear this is your truck?

It's not stolen?

Why would I steal a piece of crap like this?

Why would you steal anything?

Look, I've apologized.

I thought when you asked to see me, that we were moving on.

Well, we're not moving on.

I just... I just need a favor.

I can't yes or no until I know what the favor is.

Okay, look,

I just found out my mom is... well,

I-I don't know where exactly, but, um,

possibly close.

That's great.

Thanks.

I'm happy for you, really.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Well, I was thinking

she's probably using a different identity now,

and that maybe you knew people who help with that?

You don't like that I'm a criminal,

until you need a criminal.

No, look...

Look, I just wanna find my mom, okay?

I know you know what that feels like.

Send me a picture of her.

I'll ask around.

Thank you.

But, listen,

you wanna find a criminal, ask a cop.

They know all of them,

and you've got one at home.

Yeah, like Elizabeth's really gonna help me with this.

She would if you didn't treat her like the enemy.

Stop pushing her away.

Let her get close, and she'll drop her guard.

You'll get a lot more out of her

if you start acting like a friend.

Or even her daughter.

Be careful...

You're starting to think like a criminal.

No, no, no, no, no.

You're wrong, you're wrong, you're just insane.

What?

You're wrong, you're just embarrassing yourself.

You're embarrassing yourself.

Grant?

My sister's here, let's ask her.

Who are you talking to?

Jordan Belfort or Travis Bickle?

What?

Jordan Belfort or Travis Bickle?

Or Jake LaMotta.

Honestly, the worst DeNiro

is still better than the best DiCaprio.

Hello, you're forgetting "The Departed."

No, I'm not.

What does your sister think?

- Me? - Yeah.

Aren't you kinda young for those movies?

Hey, I'm Carter.

Regan.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend.

What?

- Why would you... - What?

I gotta go.

Grant, it's okay.

- See ya. - Don't.

Why would you do that?

What, what did I say?

You called her my girlfriend.

What do I do now?

What do I say?

Calm down, this is not a big deal.

What's a bigger deal than calling someone your girlfriend,

I'm sorry.

This is so cute.

Look at you freaking out.

No, but, seriously, we can fix this.

Um, okay, who is she?

She's a fellow film geek I met online.

Okay.

We have this sorta informal movie club.

We have discussions that turn into debates.

She's super smart.

She notices a lot of the stuff I miss.

She makes me angry, but then she makes me laugh.

I can talk to her for hours.

Armadillo.

I hate to break it to you, but... she's your girlfriend.

Really?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

You're up.

Yeah.

Looks like we're both working late.

Yeah, I caught a call on my way out the... you don't care.

No, I do.

You do, since when?

I don't know.

Since...

since you made me come down to the police station

and apologize to everyone,

and I realized that there aren't

a lot of women there, are there?

That's true, there aren't.

And, from what I could tell, you're pretty high-ranking.

Well, yes.

And you're above Gabe's dad, right?

Yes, she is.

They used to be partners, but you've been above him

for a while now, right?

You're up, too.

See, I thought everyone was going to be asleep.

I waited up.

You've been coming in late every night, it seems.

Well, things keep coming up at work.

I just got back from a crime scene, in fact.

You know, I'd, um... I'd actually really love to come with you

to a crime scene one day.

Maybe on, "take your daughter to work" day.

Well, if you're serious,

I could bring you on a ride-along,

but that entails being in a squad car all day with me.

Okay, when?

Tomorrow is my day off.

You're taking a day off.

That's great.

You've been working such long hours lately.

Yeah, I feel grimy.

I'm just gonna jump in the shower.

We'll talk later?

Something going on with you two?

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Wait here, I'm just gonna

sign out some equipment.

Okay.

- Hey. - Hey.
