Caught

Allie.

Allie.

We know what you did.

Aw, Allie.

Are you scared?

You should be.

You bailed out of the last 50.

Yeah, I didn't have it.

You're a talented athlete, Allie,

which makes this even more disappointing.

Miss Westin came to see me yesterday.

History?

Yeah. I mean, I'm a little behind, but...

You're failing.

Look, you know the rules, Allie.

I'll do better, I swear.

Please let me stay on. This team means everything to me.

I can't bail you out again.

I'm sorry. My hands are tied.

[people chattering, indistinct]

Come on, girl, show some hustle.

Come on, go, go, go.

Pick it up, pick it up.

- Nice of you to join me. -I know I'm late.

How was track?

"It was great, Mom. Thanks for asking."

That's why I don't answer: You do a much better job than I ever could.

So it was an accurate assessment of your day?

Close enough.

Good, because I need to talk to you about something.

The gas bill's higher than I thought it would be,

so I picked up another shift on Sunday night.

I knew you were supposed to have the weekend off, but...

I worked every day this week. You promised me the weekend.

But we don't really have a choice.

It's been a tough month.

Yeah, okay.

Things will get better.

Um, I'm gonna go change.

I'll see you out there.

"Rare."

I asked for the steak to be rare, not scorched.

I'm so sorry.

That enchilada platter is getting cold.

Allie, the guy at table five flagged me down and asked for his check.

Yeah. Thanks. Got it.

Oh, um,

I know I already asked you this, but is everything...

No, it's not.

Go home.

I can't.

You can. I'll cover for you.

Thank you.

Please, don't hurt me!

Allie.

Oh, Allie.

Oh, Allie!

Allie?

-Allie, are you scared? -Yes.

Yeah? Aw.

You should be.

Don't bother screaming.

We're miles from where anyone can hear you.

- -Did you see her face?

-Yeah. -She looked like she was gonna have a stroke!

Sabrina, she was really freaked out.

That's the point, Paige.

Why do you even have that?

I keep it in my handbag for personal protection.

Don't you know the world is a very dangerous place?

Oh, my God.

Check it out.

Why did you take that? That's evidence!

Evidence? Oh, God, calm down!

I'm just having a little fun.

So, what do we do now?

We celebrate.

So, have you heard from Stanford?

No, probably not for another week.

Oh, well, that's a formality. You're a legacy.

And if something happens, daddy will just fund a wing or something.

So how long is she gonna stay up there?

Oh, she needs some time to think about what she's done.

Don't you think she's kind of suffered enough?

Oh, God, she is tied to a chair.

She's not suffering, she's sitting.

You know, although,

now that you have me thinking about it,

maybe we should get a little more creative, you know?

Really drive home the point.

Mm! Do you think you could waterboard someone in a Jacuzzi?

I don't...

-Kidding. - Okay.

It's getting kind of hard to tell.

Oh. What are you looking for?

I have no idea. I'm just making this up as I go.

Oh. Stop! Put your hands up!

-That's a robber. -Oh, boo. You're no fun.

You can't burn her.

I know that.

I was just thinking.

Ooh! Maybe our guest could use a little trim.

- Sabrina? -What is he doing here?

-I don't know. -What if he sees--

-He won't. -But--

-I'll take care of it. - Sabrina?

Hey, you. I thought you were gonna

head right to the airport right after work.

Change of plan. Trip's canceled.

I am all yours.

Unless I'm interrupting something.

No, not at all.

Have you seen Allie?

Yeah, I sent her home. She seemed really upset.

What are we gonna do?

You could start by sitting down. You're making me dizzy.

-There's a girl in your attic! -And?

Does that need an "and"?

We're just gonna have to cut this short. It's no big loss.

I think we made our point. I'm gonna bring her out to the patio door,

-then through the yard. -And then what?

Same plan. We'll just drop her off right where we found her.

Relax. I got this.

Oh, and, Paige, it's a joke.

A slap on the wrist. Won't even leave a mark.

Scout's honor.

Drink?

So, what happened to Boston?

We closed the Warner account. No trip necessary.

Oh, congratulations. Did you do anything to celebrate?

No, no. Just some inter-office memos and some back pats.

Oh, that's a shame.

Oh, there it is. I have been looking everywhere.

It's nearly impossible to get through the day without this.

-I bet. -Sabrina?

Oh. Oh, it's late. I need to bring Paige home.

Why don't you just stay over? Sabrina just bought

new sheets for the guest room, and they cost more than all the furniture--

No. No, no, no. She doesn't have any clothes with her.

We'll just have to do it another time.

-Oh, the-the pictures. -Yeah, pictures.

-Uh, Paige has a school project. -Yeah.

A family tree. I promised I would help her

get the old picture stuff from the attic. I totally forgot.

-Do you need some help? -No. No, no, no, no.

Just, you relax and enjoy the drinks that we made.

Oh.

"Family tree?" What am I, 12?

Don't let him leave the room.

So did you and Sabrina get into anything fun today?

Uh, yeah.

What?

Um... just the usual.

Whoa, Sabrina does not have a delicate touch.

I can't believe she lets you drink.

She is such a bad influence.

You bitch!

-Did you hear that? -I will see what's going on.

-What happened? -I was untying her, and she kicked me.

She kicked me!

I mean, my God, I was helping her.

As if she hasn't caused me enough aggravation.

Is she okay?

Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.
