Camp

Hey!

What?

I cut my arm.

Told you to stay in your room.

But I've been in there ever sin... - Shut up and just leave me alone.

That's what you get for not listening.

I'm going out.

Hey mom!

What?

You know what today is?

I don't have time for your games right now

But mom, It's a really special d... - Dammit Eli!

You got blood all over everything in here.

Mom, I didn't mean t... - How many times...

do I have to tell you to stay in your room?

Now stay in there here or so help me!

Mom, wait!

Mom?

Dad!

What's up man? How are you doing?

Good.

Hey, look at you. Where's your mom at?

Out.

Out. What's that mean? Where'd she go?

Hmm.

Skank owes me money.

What, no booze for your old man?

Hey dad.

Hey kid.

Know what today is?

I do buddy.

It's Friday.

It's alright. I know where your mom keeps her cash.

Where is it?

I, I don't know. I...

Where'd she put it? - I, I don...

Don't mess with me kid. Where's the money?

It's, it's right here.

Don't lie to me boy. Where's the rest of it?

That's all I found! - That's all you found?

I swear! - You swear?

No son of mine is gonna lie to me.

No!

I knew he was gonna take that money.

He's not usually alone for this long.

It's not like this happens all the time.

It was my friend's party...

Social worker's gonna meet you in the ER at Providence. - Okay.

Is he gonna be okay?

Seems pretty tough. I think he'll be alright.

February 24th. Today is his birthday.

Happy birthday, kid.

He can't go to the hospital. I don't have insurance.

You're late. - So, I'm the boss.

Well, it wasn't easy getting these seats, boss.

Okay, so who's the target? Margaret Summerfield.

Summerfield. The oil Heiress.

Her portfolio lost 20 percent last year. Probably not to happy with Lavallee.

Lavallee? Seriously?

That guy's a dinosaur.

You know what happens to dinosaurs? They die.

They went extinct. - No, they died.

Soft spots?

Kids! - Seriously? She couldn't be into like saving the whales or something?

Ms. Summerfield, good evening. How are you?

Hello.

I heard Lavallee lead you astray on renewables this year.

Oh yes. Renewables were going to be the next internet.

I warn my clients to stay away from them.

Seems Lavallee's gotten a bit lazy. He's following fads.

Mr. Matthews, I really don't think I...

So, um, which of tonight's charities are you involved in Ms. Summerfield?

My church, St. Andrews,

Sponsors a summer camp for foster kids.

Wait, Ken.

Isn't that the camp you're volunteering for this summer?

You are going to be a camp counselor?

Um, yeah. I am. I love kids.

I do. And it's actually gonna be the first summer...

that I'm volunteering at the camp.

I just find it to be of importance...

to take time for the things in life that matter.

It's so nice to meet someone in this business who realizes...

that there are more important things in life than money.

It sure is.

We don't have room for another boy.

Why do you do this to me?

Yeah, this is Tammie.

I noticed in your church bulletin...

that you're looking for more male counselors...

for camp this summer.

My boss is really looking for a way to give back to the community.

I'm hoping it's not too late. I believe his mother goes to your church.

Great! Yeah, um, what's his name?

Ken Matthews.

She does. Beverly Matthews.

You know, he'd have to work with a bunch of really rough kids.

Oh, he loves kids. Adores them.

Well we will send over an application and a background check.

He's already missed the training...

so he's gonna have to read the manual on his own.

I will make sure he'll read every page.

Okay good. Talk to you soon.

Ken.

Excuse me a second. So I got the kids from Locustwood here?

Aha. Word about this one.

History of attacking other kids.

Dad has a restraining order. Mom just died of an overdose two weeks ago.

That's why I asked him to come.

Well, I just hope we don't have to send him back.

Have faith Bonnie. Have faith.

I know. Okay.

Sam, it's good to be back at Pine Lake?

Definitely

No, no. Look, she needs to know I'm at camp.

Her camp. Otherwise, this whole thing's a waste of time.

Hey, Katelyn, I gotta go, alright? Alright.

Hi there. I'm looking for the camp director, Tammie.

You don't recognize me, do you?

Tammie Parker, Bridgepoint High.

Class of '99.

Oh, I should remember you.

Well... Wait, wait, wait.

Tammie Parker? Wow. You used to be so, um...

Fat? - Yes. No.

What I meant to say was you look great.

You didn't read the manual?

I skimmed it, yeah.

But then you missed the part about no cell phones or personal vehicles.

Weren't you really into cars?

Like, the only girl in auto shop?

Yeah, weren't you supposed to be like a big rock star now?

Yeah, well it looks like things turned out just fine for me, doesn't it?

Why didn't you meet us at the church?

No offense, but I'm not gonna ride up on the bus.

Don't jerk me around, Ken. You're here to do a job.

You're looking at the counselor of the year, okay?

Sam.

Reporting for duty. This must be our new recruit.

And this is one of my best counselors.

He's a retired Army Sergeant. He has a healthy respect for the rules.

This is Ken Matthews. He's our new counselor.

Show him the ropes?

Yes ma'am. Glad to meet you.

Grab your bag, soldier. Let's do it.

Are you sure this is our cabin?

Yeah, spruce cabin. We sure lucked out.

It's one of the nicer cabin's up here. - Nicer?

Yeah, it's real close to the bath house.

We got the best shot at the hot showers before the water heater runs out.

Wow. Fantastic.

Plus, they did a better job of sealing this one off.

So, we won't get so many of the critters inside.

Critters?

Tarantulas, snakes, the occasional rat.

Rats?

I ate one of those in basic. Tastes like chicken.

That was a joke, soldier. A joke.

Hey, Samuel.

These kids. - Yeah?

They're not normal. Right?

You didn't read the manual?

No I'm good.

A bunch of namby pamby stuff, if you ask me.

Here's what you need to know.

You're not the foster parent or the caregiver.

You're not the teacher.

You're just here to help the kid have fun for one week.

Easy enough.

It's really not that hard if...

You leave your life behind and you focus on your camper.

Hey, Kaitlyn, what's up?

We got a nibble from Summerfield.

Alright, let's seal the deal.

So let's not forget who's amazing idea this was.

Make it happen, alright?

I want a raise.

Don't let Tammie see that.

Come on, I'm gonna show you camp.

Little R and R before the craziness begins?

Yeah, I'm definitely a fan of that.

Pete here's an airline pilot most of the year...

but this week he's in charge of the pool.

Right on man. Swimming already?

Yeah, I like to open the pool for the counselors...

before the kids get here.

Great idea.

I used to be a guard myself in high school. - Really?

Yeah, yeah.

Alright, I'm gonna go get my trunks, I think.

So what I'm thinking is...

Hey, no cell phones. - I'll just take it and put it over here.

Hey, give me that back.

Oh you girls wanna play? Let's play.

I don't think that soldier really knows what he's gotten himself into.

Where did you find this guy?

Just keep an eye on him for me.

Eat up. Only goes downhill from here.

This is better than the chow they gave us in Baghdad.

He's joking, right?
