The Wrong Boy Next Door

Jeez!

God, Franklin, you scared me.

Thought someone was back from the grave, huh?

Very funny.

Second one this week.

Looks like you got your work cut out for you.

What?

Afraid you won't finish?

Look, man,

I didn't sign up for this.

I'm done.

Look at this.

Throw a little $3 bag of dirt, a few flowers,

and suddenly we can advertise it as a charming garden

and add 10 G's to the asking price.

What's not to love?

You tell me.

Look, when I agreed to flip these houses with you,

I figured the worst thing we'd be doing

is just ripping off some old folks.

We don't owe 'em nothing.

It's not our fault that...

they don't know the real values of their homes, man.

So what's the problem?

The problem is if they don't sell.

Okay, so sometimes we need to...

encourage them.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, well, like I said, man, I'm done.

Yeah, you are.

Let's go, back to our cells.

You go. It's way too nice a day to be cooped up inside.

- Come on, we're gonna be late. - So what?

What are they actually gonna do to us?

Well, it's your funeral.

Miss Foreman.

Vaping on school grounds is against the rules.

Oop!

Katie, you're a senior.

You know full well smoking is not allowed on school grounds.

- I wasn't smoking. - I saw you!

- She was holding it. - Katie...

- I was vaping. - Katie...

And necessitates a mandatory one-day suspension.

Principal Perkins? Oh!

Oh, I'm so sorry to interrupt. I didn't know you were busy.

No, it's fine. Mrs. Foreman, this is Detective Harper.

She's our liaison with the police department.

Lori?

Hi, Debbie.

I'm a court reporter.

We work together, sort of.

As I said, I'm so sorry to interrupt,

but I do need to speak to you later.

- Okay. - Okay.

Don't think that this suspension is the end of it.

You're also grounded.

- Whatever, Mom. - Don't whatever me!

Do you know how inconvenient it is for me to have to leave work?

And then to actually run into someone I work with?

How humiliating.

- I'm not embarrassed about it. - Well, you should be!

Are you sure about this?

My mom wants to ground me for no reason,

this is what she's gonna get.

It wasn't exactly for no reason, Katie.

Whose side are you on?

I don't know.

It's the weekend.

We're deserve to have a little fun.

Make sure to fill that up with water

and put it back before your mom gets home.

I know, I know. Here.

When's Aaron gonna be here?

Any second.

So you guys are on this week?

Of course!

Sam, you guys break up and make up

more than any couple I've ever known.

Well, without the break up, there's no make up,

if you know what I mean.

- Samantha! -

- - Here he is.

God!

You guys almost gave me a heart attack.

I wish.

Hey. Stop getting into trouble.

I want my girl back.

Fat chance. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Thank you for picking me up. - Yeah, of course.

Okay, okay, great, yeah. I'll call you back.

Finally up.

Silent treatment, huh?

You know, I don't know why you're mad at me.

I'm not the one who needs to grow up

and take some responsibility for her actions.

I'm not in the mood for a lecture right now.

I would've thought that you would've learned your lesson

from your last suspension.

You worked so hard for three years and for what?

You're gonna throw it all away?

Colleges are not gonna want to accept someone

whose grades just plummeted off a cliff.

Oh, come on, Mom, give me a break.

I have given you a break.

Multiple breaks. That's the problem.

What do you think your father would think

if he saw this right now, huh?

I gotta go. I'll see you later.

So you're the friendly neighborhood Peeping Tom.

I've been warned about you.

I'm just kidding.

But you do look like her.

John Link.

Katie Foreman.

Well, Miss Katie Foreman, how about you show me inside

and show me some of that small-town hospitality?

Right this way.

I'll get you something to cool you off.

What if I prefer something warmer?

You don't miss a beat, do you?

Thanks. I needed that.

So what, are you the repairman or something?

You're just helping the old lady out?

Gladys Brill was my grandmother.

Oh, God. Mrs. Brill died?

Mm.

Last week.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

I mean, she kept to herself, and we never saw her.

- I said hi to her. - Don't worry about it, okay?

You don't need to explain.

Truth is, we weren't really close to her either.

My mom and her kinda had a falling out,

which is why you never saw me there before.

So you're just fixing up her house now?

Then selling it. She left it for my mother.

And then your mom gave it to you.

Only to sell.

Once we pay the estate tax,

then I need to use the money for college.

College. So do you go to college now?

I graduated from St. Patrick's last May.

But I took a year off.

Rather than going backpacking across Europe like some kids do,

I'm forced to work flipping houses.

What's your story?

Senior at Memorial.

I haven't decided on college yet, so...

Eighteen then.

Does it matter?

I don't know. You tell me.

Well, Miss Katie Foreman, I better get back to work.

How long are you gonna be over there?

Until I'm finished.

But it might be awhile.

I hope so.

Hey!

You putting this stuff here and leaving it?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fixing up the house.

Well, the trash doesn't come until Thursday.

You can't leave this stuff here until then.

And what business is it of yours?

This is my neighborhood, and we like to keep it clean,

and I don't feel like looking at your crap laying around.

Well, I suggest you be on your way

because when I smash your face onto the curb,

it's definitely gonna leave a stain.

And you wouldn't like that, would you?

Katie, let's go!

If you want me to drive you to school,

we need to go right now.

I'm gonna be late for work.

I can't find my keys.

Well, that's surprising.

I don't know why you don't just walk to school.

It's right down the street.

Come on, come on!

They'll turn up like they always do.

But we need to go.

Okay, guys, let's get right into it.

We were talking about the Plantagenets

and my favorite king, Richard the--

Miss Foreman.

Katie, she's talking to you.

Oh. What?

- The phone. - Are you serious?

I put it away.

Let me have the phone. You know the rules.

You'll get it back at the end of the day. Let me have it.

Yeah, you want my phone?

Give me the phone.

- Give me your phone. - Take it!

I thought the one-day suspension

would've been a wake-up call for her, Mrs. Foreman.

We all did.

But now this.

Katie has always been a model student.

In the past, yes.

But there's been a change,
