Finding Carter

Previously on "Finding Carter"

- What are you doing here? - Living here.

Carter, I know guys like him.

You have no idea what he's into.

I don't need you to take care of me.

Let's get this party started!

I'm not doing so great.

Back to dredge up the past again?

Give Ben whatever he needs.

Somebody mentioned there's a server position open?

Excuse me, sorry.

Damn, she's good with those trays.

She's a pro.

You keep your tray on your hip

until your training wheels come off.

A girl can dream.

Nothing dreamy about broken bottles

and cleaning up booze.

How long 'til I can try?

- Once you got the flow. - What's the flow?

Never make a move What's the flowithout an action.

If you're leaving a table, grab an empty glass.

If you're passing the bar...

Grab a pitcher of water.

That's the easy part.

Now, the hard part is good customer flow.

And when a new table walks in,

you gotta get to them in two minutes

and make eye contact with the captain.

The captain?

The alpha.

The guy buying the drinks.

What if it's a girl who's buying the drinks?

See, look, you're learning already.

I think they got here about a minute ago.

Tick tock.

Okay, so I have an old fashioned for you.

Vodka soda, extra ice.

IPA.

Bourbon, neat.

What can I get you guys?

Ice water.

I think I'm getting the hang of this.

Where the hell have you been?

Mom and Dad are flipping out.

I covered for you.

Are you gonna tell me where you were?

I told you, I went to go see a movie.

Come on, Carter, I know you didn't.

How?

You don't know everything about me.

Obviously.

Like where you've been every day after school

this week and every night.

Unless you don't trust me.

Okay.

Just so you know,

Mom is going to freak if she finds out.

Okay.

Then... we better make sure she doesn't.

- Good morning. - (Elizabeth) Morning.

Morning.

You look exhausted.

This is what I look like before coffee.

That was a long movie last night.

The Rock was saving the world.

It takes time.

The Rock is awesome.

So I'm thinking that The Rock

did save the world, am I right?

Mom.

Spoiler alert.

Not great news.

There's gonna be another book...

about us.

- Some gossip blogger. - (Grant) Really?

Aren't people tired of us yet?

I don't know. Sorry.

You should write your book, Dad.

No, I'm serious.

Kill everyone else's stories with the truth.

She may be right.

Yours is the one that people will want to read.

Wouldn't people rather hear gossip and lies?

Yeah, he has a point.

Whatever sensationalized dirt is put in front of them,

that's gonna be what they want to read.

Well, not if we get the real story out first.

You were very much against my writing it.

Yeah, well, a couple of things have changed since then.

And it would definitely help pay for expenses.

Fine, whatever.

I think it's time, Dad.

All right, you'll be my first readers

and my harshest critics.

Done.

It's gonna be good to write again.

Oh, we should leave if I'm giving you guys

- a ride to school. - Right.

School.

That's where we're going.

To learn.

All day.

Ease up on the coffee, Tay.

Um, David?

Not so fast.

I wish you weren't missing school for me,

but I guess I can't exactly complain.

No.

It's okay.

My first period's a joke.

I got my assignment.

What? When did you find out?

Right before you got here.

Where are they sending you?

Fort Hunter Liggett, California.

California's far, Crash.

It's better than Afghanistan.

It's still 3,000 miles away.

We always talked about going.

Yeah, not 'cause you got posted.

We knew it would happen eventually.

Sorry.

Sorry, I'm just tired.

I wasn't expecting this today.

Hey, it's okay.

How are we gonna see each other?

I'll push for time off over Christmas.

Maybe you'll come visit me over the summer.

Okay.

Okay. Yeah.

I'm fine.

This doesn't change anything.

Except how many classes I'm missing.

$10,000 is a lot of money.

It's for Ben.

He's my son, I want to help support him.

We want to help support him.

I just don't understand

why you had to go behind my back.

Maybe the same reason you went behind mine.

She told me what happened.

I was protecting our family.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the money.

Carter doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

She can't hurt us anymore.

She already is.

She is going to use that kid

just like she tried to use Carter.

Liz, I promise you, I won't let her.

Hey.

I hear you're the guy to talk to about getting some ID.

Uh, let me check you guys later, okay?

Come here.

You gotta chill.

You can't just walk up and ask me for stuff

- in front of people. - Sorry.

Are you Carter's friend, the one who had the party?

- Yeah. - 100 bucks.

Bird told me 50.

For Bird, it was 50; for you, it's 100.

Fine.

Actually, you know what?

I'm a fair guy, let's compromise here.

You give me 75, I take your car for a spin.

75 and I drive.

Hello?

Hey.

It's just me.

I'm gonna go upstairs and study.

Carter, can we see you, please?

Oh... hi.

Carter, this is Mr. Smith.

Well, it was really nice to meet you.

I should probably get started on my homework.
