Finding Carter

Previously on "Finding Carter"...

My dad is up for parole.

I'm going to testify, make sure that they keep him in.

My dad's getting out.

- You were good. - Thanks.

E-mail me?

- I love you, baby. - I love you, too.

One of these days, I'm gonna call on you for a favor,

and when I do, you're gonna deliver, got it?

- I'm taking Liv to rehab. - How long do you think you're gonna be home?

I've been thinking maybe I need to get out of dodge myself.

I just need some space.

So I cleaned out a drawer for you.

And tomorrow, I'm gonna get you some closet space.

Okay, I'm really not sure about this.

Oh, come on, where's your sense of adventure.

I've had plenty of adventure in my life, thank you,

some might even say too much.

Okay, it's been five minutes.

I don't want you getting kicked out of the building

four days after I move in.

Okay.

Judy.

Whew, God, glad to finally be out of there.

Oh, she's claustrophobic.

You know, you really should tell the super

that the elevator is acting up again.

It's like, really unacceptable.

- Yeah, I will. - I will definitely do that. Yeah, it's really...

- It's, like, all the time now, you know? - Mm-hmm.

- Do you think she bought it? - No.

That's Judy, she's kind of like the floor Nazi.

I would stay clear of her if I were you.

Duly noted.

Did we forget to shut the door when we left?

No, I shut it.

And I locked it.

They went through everything.

They took my computer, my watches, my guitars,

and all the money I made from our parties.

I thought you said this was a safe neighborhood.

It is.

Do you think maybe Sarah had something to do with this?

Yeah, who knows?

I mean, I wouldn't put it past her.

Well, for Christ's sake, Jared, then you need to change

the locks, get a security system installed.

- Done. - No, like a really good security system,

one that alerts the cops when there's a break-in.

- Speaking of which. - No. Hey, no cops.

Jared, it was a break-in, I have to call the cops.

What am I gonna say? That the four grand in cash

I made from illegal parties was stolen?

I mean, it's not like they're ever gonna find it anyway.

That money's gone.

Okay, well, look.

We'll just throw more parties, okay?

We can make all of the money back.

Yeah, how many more can we realistically throw anyway?

The last one almost got shut down.

Yeah, and we talked our way out of it.

Maybe next time we won't be so lucky.

Okay, well, uh...

What if the parties weren't illegal?

- (scoffs) - No, seriously.

What if we went, like, fully legit?

Yeah, how would that work?

We could rent a space

instead of sneaking into an illegal one.

We could open up a business account,

put all of our profits in the bank rather than

under some mattress for anyone to find.

Well, first security guards and now this?

I mean, how are we gonna turn a profit?

Jared, we could triple the amount of parties we throw

and therefore, the amount of money we make.

Look, I get that it would be a risk,

but if this works,

this could be the start of a legitimate business for us.

Come on, where's your sense of adventure?

This is part one of a trilogy?

I'm sorry I hijacked our movie night,

but I need this extra credit if I'm gonna beat

Damon's GPA in French class.

This... has a tenth of a point on me.

I'm driving up to York tomorrow to see my mom.

She wants me to come for a visit.

Well, how is she handling your dad being out?

She says she's fine,

but I think it's been hard on her.

Do you want me to come with you?

Keep you company?

That'd be great. It's a long drive.

Would you ever want her to...

- move closer, just so you guys aren't so far away? - I'd love that.

I don't think she would ever do it.

Well, I'm sure that you could convince her.

You think?

Yeah, you can be very persuasive when you want to.

Persuasive enough to get you to bail on this extra credit?

No, not that persuasive.

Will you at least admit that you have no idea

what's going on in this movie.

- (speaking French) - No!

I know exactly what's going on.

So you're saying that you actually missed me

these last couple weeks.

I said I missed having you around; there's a difference.

Oh, okay, that sounds exactly the same.

Well, you might want to get your ears checked, then.

Seriously, how's Olivia doing?

Uh, pretty good, from what her counselors have told me.

- That's really good. - Yeah.

The problem is, what happens when she gets out?

Is she gonna go into another Foster family?

Yeah, or a group home.

And they're not actually that bad, it's just...

It's not the healthiest environment coming out of rehab.

- What are you gonna do? - I don't know, I thought about maybe

getting her an apartment, keeping her close by.

You know, keeping tabs on her,

making sure she doesn't backslide.

Would they even let her out of the system so young?

Won't that be really expensive?

Yes, it would be.

What about Lori?

What about her?

Well, wouldn't she take Olivia in?

No, I doubt that she would have any interest in taking some

teenager that she barely even knows, let alone an addict.

All right, firstly you're forgetting,

that Lori would do just about anything right now

to keep you happy and keep you in town.

Secondly, she actually likes helping people.

It's one of her more positive attributes.

I don't know.

I mean, that's like a big thing to ask somebody.

You really think she'd say yes?

Yeah, I really think she might.

Can I help you with something?

Yeah. Vacation's over.

Time to get back to work.

Look, I told you before I left town, I'm done selling to you.

Whoa.

What makes you think you have a choice?

You owe me.

Now, you told me a couple of parties and I did that.

As far as I'm concerned, my debt's paid.

Well, then I guess I'm just gonna have to call the cops

and tell them about that little credit card scam

you tried to run on me and I'm pretty sure

that you have going elsewhere.

You know what, man? Do it.

I don't care.

I wasn't cool selling before you forced me to do it

and after watching my sister these last few weeks?

I'm even less cool with it. In fact, use my phone.

Here.

Knock yourself out, call the cops.

All right look, we got a party tomorrow night.

Whatever you make, I'll cut you in, 20%.

Wow.

You must be in a bad way to float that offer.

You in or out?

I'm out.

How much money am I holding?

I don't know, like 4,000 maybe. How do you not know?

Are you not keeping track?

No, I haven't been, that's why I'm giving it to a bank,

so they can keep track for me.

You really seem like you've found your calling

with these parties.

Well, I don't know about that.

It does feel good to actually be good at something for once,

so I like that part way more than the money.

Well, I'm sorry I'll miss your first night

as a legitimate businesswoman.

I told Max I would go see his mom with him.

Oh, no, come on, you should go. That's way more important.

But we're still gonna stop by Gabe's before we leave.

Wouldn't want to miss Bird's big announcement.

Yeah.

Do you have any idea what it could be?

Eh, it's Bird.

Who knows what's up her custom-tailored sleeve?

- You having a stroke? - No, I'm making it rain.

You know, like in the rap videos.

Is it working?

It looks more like a light drizzle

You could knock. Well, when you're not home for four days, knocking before

entering privileges are typically revoked.

I'm gonna...

To what do we owe your presence?

I just came by to get some more of my stuff.

- To bring back to Lori's. - Jared's, actually.

You're crashing at Jared's now?

Well, I'd say it was a little more than crashing,
