1
00:00:01,384 --> 00:00:02,499
Previously on The O. C:
2
00:00:02,677 --> 00:00:05,963
My mom and I are getting kicked out.
I had to move into Summer's.
3
00:00:06,181 --> 00:00:08,422
This woman is the princess
of Orange County.
4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,260
I will find a way to use her.
5
00:00:10,477 --> 00:00:12,137
Welcome to Newport Union.
I'm Casey.
6
00:00:12,312 --> 00:00:14,139
- Nice to meet you, I'm...
- Johnny.
7
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:15,393
Everyone calls me Chili.
8
00:00:15,565 --> 00:00:17,772
That's gonna be a problem,
because I love you.
9
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:19,694
Marissa.
10
00:00:19,862 --> 00:00:23,313
- What's wrong? What did you do to her?
- Nothing. I'm fine.
11
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:26,028
- This is my...
- Boyfriend, I'm guessing. Hey.
12
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:29,907
She's Taylor Townsend.
She's like the Karl Rove of our school.
13
00:00:30,081 --> 00:00:31,539
- Taylor Townsend.
- Taylor Townsend.
14
00:00:31,707 --> 00:00:33,451
Taylor Townsend.
15
00:00:35,336 --> 00:00:37,128
- Don't touch her!
- Ryan!
16
00:00:37,297 --> 00:00:39,669
Either of you ever set foot
near this school again...
17
00:00:39,841 --> 00:00:40,956
...I call the police.
18
00:00:59,904 --> 00:01:02,062
- Where's all the cereal?
- Oh, I guess we're out.
19
00:01:04,367 --> 00:01:06,822
- There's no bagels?
- I thought we'd try something new.
20
00:01:07,161 --> 00:01:10,780
Mom, listen to me. I understand that
this whole cooking-with-Kirsten thing...
21
00:01:10,957 --> 00:01:12,617
...is helping you keep focused...
22
00:01:12,792 --> 00:01:16,541
...but you cannot preempt
a man's regularly scheduled breakfast.
23
00:01:17,005 --> 00:01:20,505
- It is a sacred routine.
- Sit.
24
00:01:22,803 --> 00:01:24,677
You are having...
25
00:01:24,847 --> 00:01:27,764
...eggs Benedict Gruyère
avec pâtes du fruit.
26
00:01:32,938 --> 00:01:35,061
Something smells...
27
00:01:35,566 --> 00:01:36,597
...fancy.
28
00:01:36,776 --> 00:01:40,026
- Have a seat, there's plenty.
- No thanks. I'll just grab a bagel to go.
29
00:01:40,196 --> 00:01:41,988
Good luck with that.
30
00:01:45,952 --> 00:01:47,281
Hello?
31
00:01:47,454 --> 00:01:50,704
Oh, Dr. Kim, thanks so much
for getting back to me.
32
00:01:55,254 --> 00:01:57,330
Dr. Kim as in Principal Dr. Kim?
33
00:01:57,506 --> 00:02:01,456
Oh, she's probably confirming our
reservation for the college fair tonight.
34
00:02:05,806 --> 00:02:08,926
You know, you're gonna be exposed
to a lot of new things in college.
35
00:02:09,101 --> 00:02:11,640
Yeah, horny coeds and alcohol poisoning.
36
00:02:11,813 --> 00:02:15,146
I just don't think they're gonna have
French fusion on the menu.
37
00:02:21,031 --> 00:02:24,364
- They don't want me there, do they?
- No, Harbor's only hosting.
38
00:02:24,534 --> 00:02:27,868
And it's a public event.
There is no reason why you can't attend.
39
00:02:28,038 --> 00:02:30,529
So you boys meet us here,
we'll head over together.
40
00:02:30,708 --> 00:02:31,988
Sounds good to me.
41
00:02:33,627 --> 00:02:37,246
- Hey, man, give me a ride to school.
- We'll hit the drive-through on the way.
42
00:02:38,841 --> 00:02:41,332
- What's going on?
- Harbor's dean of discipline...
43
00:02:41,511 --> 00:02:44,215
...is making it his personal crusade
to ruin Ryan's future.
44
00:02:44,389 --> 00:02:46,215
He's attached a note to his transcript...
45
00:02:46,391 --> 00:02:49,475
...detailing his pathologically
violent behavior.
46
00:02:49,811 --> 00:02:53,725
Ryan certainly needs to work on his
self-control, but he's not pathological.
47
00:02:53,899 --> 00:02:55,808
Considering everything
he's been through?
48
00:02:55,984 --> 00:02:57,728
No one'll get a chance to consider it.
49
00:02:57,903 --> 00:03:01,070
A letter like that is a red flag to colleges.
50
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,900
And unless it's rescinded...
51
00:03:03,075 --> 00:03:06,159
...no way a reputable school
is gonna wanna touch a kid like Ryan.
52
00:03:45,203 --> 00:03:47,610
What color do I want?
53
00:03:47,955 --> 00:03:49,450
Come on.
54
00:03:49,624 --> 00:03:51,949
Just go that...
55
00:03:52,794 --> 00:03:55,629
Okay, you're, like, twice my height.
56
00:03:55,797 --> 00:03:59,297
We can probably figure this out.
Why don't you just...
57
00:03:59,468 --> 00:04:01,626
Like that. Right.
58
00:04:01,803 --> 00:04:02,835
- Solved.
- I'm sorry.
59
00:04:03,013 --> 00:04:04,887
You must be sick of me
being in your way.
60
00:04:05,057 --> 00:04:06,088
Oh, are you kidding?
61
00:04:06,266 --> 00:04:08,508
I date Cohen, okay?
My patience is infinite.
62
00:04:08,686 --> 00:04:11,355
Having you in my space
makes me miss you less at school.
63
00:04:11,522 --> 00:04:13,230
Well, I miss you guys too.
64
00:04:14,483 --> 00:04:17,188
You know, we should all
do something tonight.
65
00:04:17,361 --> 00:04:20,113
You know, I told Cohen
I'd go with him to that...
66
00:04:20,281 --> 00:04:22,321
What is it called?
That college circus thing?
67
00:04:22,492 --> 00:04:25,327
- Why don't you come with us?
- To Harbor? I think I'll pass.
68
00:04:25,495 --> 00:04:27,535
It's not like you're on
the most wanted list.
69
00:04:27,706 --> 00:04:30,327
- Have you checked the dean's office?
- Very funny.
70
00:04:30,834 --> 00:04:33,503
Look, I'm not really thinking
big picture right now anyway.
71
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:36,161
I mean, college isn't even on my radar.
72
00:04:36,340 --> 00:04:38,961
You're a senior in high school.
How could it not be?
73
00:04:39,134 --> 00:04:42,835
Let's see, maybe because I'm homeless,
going to public school and totally broke.
74
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:46,881
And yet things could be worse.
75
00:04:48,436 --> 00:04:49,930
- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, sweetie.
76
00:04:50,104 --> 00:04:52,678
Just checking on you.
How's everything going at Summer's?
77
00:04:52,857 --> 00:04:55,479
Fine, but I'm kind of worried
I'm wearing out my welcome.
78
00:04:55,652 --> 00:04:57,062
Then I have some good news.
79
00:04:57,237 --> 00:05:00,570
Kirsten's turned me on to a promising
lead on some beachside property.
80
00:05:01,032 --> 00:05:03,239
So if you could just hang on
a little bit longer.
81
00:05:03,410 --> 00:05:06,577
- Sure, I guess.
- Great.
82
00:05:09,333 --> 00:05:12,500
- Is everything okay, Mom?
- Oh, I'm fine, honey.
83
00:05:12,670 --> 00:05:14,662
Okay, I mean, I've been better...
84
00:05:14,838 --> 00:05:19,086
...but I have a plan,
and you have nothing to worry about.
85
00:05:19,260 --> 00:05:22,214
We'll have lunch at the club
this week, okay? I'll call you.
86
00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:24,511
Okay, bye.
87
00:05:30,271 --> 00:05:32,560
Hey, don't stress out, okay?
88
00:05:32,732 --> 00:05:34,606
You can stay here as long as you want.
89
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:36,479
Thanks.
90
00:05:40,699 --> 00:05:42,277
Excuse us, ma'am.
91
00:05:43,327 --> 00:05:45,070
No problem.
92
00:05:56,424 --> 00:05:57,503
Hey.
93
00:05:59,552 --> 00:06:02,387
Look at her. All coy and texty.
94
00:06:02,555 --> 00:06:03,966
I bet it's the dean, all like:
95
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:07,889
"Come over to my creepy apartment.
I'll give you a lesson in discipline."
96
00:06:08,061 --> 00:06:10,469
Be afraid, Cohen.
Be very, very afraid.
97
00:06:10,647 --> 00:06:13,565
If she isn't stopped, who knows
how far she'll take her agenda.
98
00:06:13,859 --> 00:06:18,236
Well, she hijacked Social Chair. It's
not like world domination is inevitable.
99
00:06:18,405 --> 00:06:20,197
Yeah, well, school domination is.
100
00:06:20,366 --> 00:06:23,533
She's got Dean Hess in her back pocket,
front, who knows where else.
101
00:06:23,703 --> 00:06:25,494
Look, I know Us Weekly is your bible...
102
00:06:25,663 --> 00:06:28,747
...and believe me, I love a good scandal
as much as the next guy...
103
00:06:28,916 --> 00:06:32,001
...but nothing is going on between
the dean and Taylor Townsend.
104
00:06:32,170 --> 00:06:34,044
I saw what I saw, okay?
105
00:06:34,214 --> 00:06:36,621
In a dark hallway,
in the middle of a rage blackout.
106
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,673
Isn't it possible you saw
what you wanted?
107
00:06:38,843 --> 00:06:42,628
What...? No, no one chooses to witness
something that repellent.
108
00:06:47,811 --> 00:06:49,389
I'd like to give her a side kick.
109
00:06:59,323 --> 00:07:01,649
- Where are you going?
- Recon.
110
00:07:02,368 --> 00:07:03,862
You sure this is a good idea?
111
00:07:04,037 --> 00:07:06,029
Of course. I want you here.
112
00:07:06,206 --> 00:07:07,451
Does anyone else?
113
00:07:07,624 --> 00:07:09,747
Well, there's only one way to find out.
114
00:07:09,918 --> 00:07:11,377
- Hi, guys.
- Hey.
115
00:07:11,545 --> 00:07:13,336
Hey.
116
00:07:13,713 --> 00:07:16,501
- Is this Ryan?
- Yep.
117
00:07:16,675 --> 00:07:19,248
Yeah, I see why
you didn't break up with him.
118
00:07:19,428 --> 00:07:22,548
Chiseled jaw, deep, soulful eyes.
He's pretty.
119
00:07:22,723 --> 00:07:25,048
You get struck by lightning,
I'll take care of your woman.
120
00:07:25,267 --> 00:07:26,762
- I'm worried.
- You should be.
121
00:07:26,936 --> 00:07:28,763
- Good to see you again.
- Good to see you.
122
00:07:28,938 --> 00:07:30,646
Sorry about the other day.
I lost my cool.
123
00:07:30,856 --> 00:07:33,348
You see your girl talking to some guy
you don't know...
124
00:07:33,526 --> 00:07:35,234
...it could happen to anyone.
125
00:07:37,614 --> 00:07:39,737
- So you guys wanna sit with us?
- Sure. Thanks.
126
00:07:39,908 --> 00:07:41,367
Cool.
127
00:07:41,868 --> 00:07:43,362
So you blowing off school today?
128
00:07:43,536 --> 00:07:46,870
No, actually, I'm doing
a homeschool thing for a while.
129
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,997
I thought that was for, like, Christians.
130
00:07:49,167 --> 00:07:51,456
And for people who punch
the dean at their school.
131
00:07:51,628 --> 00:07:53,004
- You did that?
- Yeah.
132
00:07:53,172 --> 00:07:55,923
I wish I could homeschool.
I can't wait to get out of here.
133
00:07:56,091 --> 00:07:58,001
Though Newport
beats the hell out of Brea.
134
00:07:58,177 --> 00:08:00,335
You're from Brea?
Where'd you go to school?
135
00:08:00,513 --> 00:08:02,589
- Arovista.
- Chino Hills.
136
00:08:02,765 --> 00:08:04,674
Come on, Marissa.
Let's get frozen yogurt.
137
00:08:04,851 --> 00:08:07,057
- Okay. Ryan, you want anything?
- I'm good.
138
00:08:07,228 --> 00:08:10,514
- Dennis, you like frozen yogurt.
- Okay, yeah, I love frozen yogurt.
139
00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:12,849
- Come on, you can hold our tray for us.
- Okay.
140
00:08:13,026 --> 00:08:16,442
Trust me, the faster they become
friends, the better off you are.
141
00:08:16,947 --> 00:08:18,607
We used to kick your ass
at football.
142
00:08:18,782 --> 00:08:20,905
- I know, I used to play safety.
- Quarterback.
143
00:08:21,076 --> 00:08:22,451
Really? What year?
144
00:08:45,310 --> 00:08:47,433
Okay, at first I thought it was cute...
145
00:08:47,604 --> 00:08:50,807
...you following me,
obsessing over me...
146
00:08:50,982 --> 00:08:54,233
...but the Single White Female thing
is so mid-90s.
147
00:08:54,403 --> 00:08:57,986
- And it never ends well for the ugly one.
- Could you be more full of yourself?
148
00:08:58,157 --> 00:09:00,695
I have better things to do
than follow your ass around.
149
00:09:00,868 --> 00:09:04,617
Okay, I know it must be hard going from
prom queen to the invisible woman...
150
00:09:04,789 --> 00:09:06,828
...but what are you trying to prove?
151
00:09:06,999 --> 00:09:09,325
That you're not just pathetic,
you're also crazy?
152
00:09:09,502 --> 00:09:11,827
Oh, you want crazy?
Oh, I will show you crazy.
153
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:15,002
Okay, you might wanna rethink
threatening me.
154
00:09:15,175 --> 00:09:17,416
If you haven't noticed,
I'm close with Dean Hess.
155
00:09:17,594 --> 00:09:19,088
Oh, no, I've noticed.
156
00:09:19,971 --> 00:09:22,676
Well, you know, Dean Hess,
he isn't exactly discreet.
157
00:09:24,142 --> 00:09:26,052
- Okay, what does that mean?
- Never mind.
158
00:09:26,228 --> 00:09:29,395
I've been trying to erase this image
from my brain, like, all day.
159
00:09:29,565 --> 00:09:32,138
Unfortunately, I think it's gonna take
serious therapy.
160
00:09:32,735 --> 00:09:35,142
- What image?
- Nothing. l...
161
00:09:35,321 --> 00:09:37,479
Dean Hess could get in,
like, a lot of trouble.
162
00:09:37,657 --> 00:09:40,326
I think it's, like,
sexual harassment or something.
163
00:09:40,952 --> 00:09:42,660
What is?
164
00:09:42,829 --> 00:09:44,620
Kissing.
165
00:09:45,623 --> 00:09:48,114
Ms. Applebaum, yeah.
166
00:09:48,293 --> 00:09:51,413
The volleyball coach with the toned arms
and the legs for miles.
167
00:09:51,588 --> 00:09:54,375
I saw them behind the gym bleachers
this morning.
168
00:09:56,176 --> 00:09:58,584
- Okay, you're totally lying.
- I wish.
169
00:09:58,762 --> 00:10:02,760
The look on Ms. Applebaum's face is,
like, permanently burned into my retinas.
170
00:10:02,933 --> 00:10:05,970
God. Pure carnal satisfaction.
171
00:10:06,145 --> 00:10:07,556
Yeah.
172
00:10:08,856 --> 00:10:11,525
Sorry. I guess I gotta go.
173
00:10:11,692 --> 00:10:13,934
You have a super day.
174
00:10:16,072 --> 00:10:17,317
I was going this way.
175
00:10:23,747 --> 00:10:27,330
- So, what do you think?
- Aren't condos for old people?
176
00:10:27,709 --> 00:10:29,702
These units were conceived
for professionals.
177
00:10:29,878 --> 00:10:32,665
- Single, divorced executive types.
- How much are we talking?
178
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,378
Since I know the developer,
10 percent gets you in...
179
00:10:35,551 --> 00:10:38,552
...the rest you can finance.
- Ten percent?
180
00:10:38,721 --> 00:10:41,259
Julie, it's a really good investment.
181
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:43,259
If you need help with
the down payment...
182
00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:45,972
I'm not destitute, Kirsten,
I'm discerning.
183
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:49,555
So should I make a call,
set up a walk-through?
184
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:51,145
Why not?
185
00:10:53,111 --> 00:10:55,068
Wonder who that is.
186
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:00,904
- Hi.
- Hi.
187
00:11:01,078 --> 00:11:03,320
I thought you might
wanna join me for a bite.
188
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:05,573
Oh, it's good of you to stop by.
189
00:11:05,749 --> 00:11:09,249
- Sorry, I didn't realize you had company.
- No. Charlotte, this is Julie.
190
00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:12,089
- Julie, this is Charlotte.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
191
00:11:12,256 --> 00:11:13,287
We met at Suriak.
192
00:11:13,466 --> 00:11:15,423
- Oh, are you a doctor?
- Patient.
193
00:11:15,593 --> 00:11:18,001
I have an appointment
I have to be getting to...
194
00:11:18,179 --> 00:11:20,504
...so call me when you hear
from your friend.
195
00:11:20,682 --> 00:11:24,893
On my cell.
My hotel is terrible about messages.
196
00:11:25,478 --> 00:11:27,518
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
197
00:11:29,274 --> 00:11:31,765
Okay, clearly I have got to learn
how to call ahead.
198
00:11:31,943 --> 00:11:34,185
I'm sorry. I hope I didn't
scare your friend away.
199
00:11:34,363 --> 00:11:37,032
Oh, it would take a lot more
than that to scare Julie.
200
00:11:37,199 --> 00:11:38,741
She was married to my dad.
201
00:11:38,909 --> 00:11:41,365
That would explain
the size of the rock on her finger.
202
00:11:41,537 --> 00:11:43,446
Well, he didn't leave her much else.
203
00:11:44,123 --> 00:11:45,617
"Newport Point Condominiums."
204
00:11:45,791 --> 00:11:48,199
It's not the Taj Mahal,
but it'll be a good place...
205
00:11:48,377 --> 00:11:50,951
...for her and her daughter.
Can I get you some salad?
206
00:11:51,130 --> 00:11:52,209
We have plenty left.
207
00:11:52,382 --> 00:11:54,955
Yeah, that'd be great.
I'm starving. Thanks.
208
00:11:56,052 --> 00:11:58,460
So your dad left her with nothing?
209
00:11:58,847 --> 00:12:00,804
She must be feeling
really vulnerable now.
210
00:12:00,974 --> 00:12:02,967
I'm glad you came by.
211
00:12:05,687 --> 00:12:07,727
Come on, Coop. Ryan's going.
212
00:12:07,898 --> 00:12:11,065
Yeah, and I'm sure he'll have
a great time with you and Seth.
213
00:12:11,985 --> 00:12:15,189
Look, it's not because it's Harbor.
And it's not because it's college.
214
00:12:15,364 --> 00:12:18,034
- I just have a lot of homework.
- Yeah, sure, homework.
215
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,992
What, you want me to focus
on my future?
216
00:12:20,161 --> 00:12:23,660
Well, guess what? Tomorrow I have
a trig exam that I'm totally gonna fail.
217
00:12:25,249 --> 00:12:28,868
Okay. Sure.
I'll just tell everyone you said hi.
218
00:12:29,045 --> 00:12:31,832
- Okay.
- Okay. Enjoy.
219
00:12:32,173 --> 00:12:35,340
- I'll be fine.
- Later.
220
00:12:40,724 --> 00:12:44,425
Ivy League. Big Ten. Pac-10.
221
00:12:44,603 --> 00:12:47,853
College fairs are like shopping.
It's all about brand recognition.
222
00:12:48,023 --> 00:12:51,689
You know Princeton was originally called
the College of New Jersey?
223
00:12:51,861 --> 00:12:53,853
How hard would it be
to get into that school?
224
00:12:54,030 --> 00:12:55,524
Well, why don't you ask them?
225
00:12:55,698 --> 00:12:57,940
Why not, indeed?
226
00:13:00,578 --> 00:13:02,867
- You okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, fine.
227
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:04,831
Just a little weird being back here.
228
00:13:05,875 --> 00:13:07,868
I feel like a fugitive.
229
00:13:08,044 --> 00:13:10,084
You have as much right to be here
as anyone.
230
00:13:11,506 --> 00:13:14,128
- So where do you wanna start?
- I really don't know.
231
00:13:15,302 --> 00:13:17,710
I hear Berkeley's an excellent choice.
232
00:13:17,888 --> 00:13:19,715
Very pretty girls too.
233
00:13:19,890 --> 00:13:22,097
Oh, and there's the UC sign.
234
00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:24,426
- Sounds good?
- Sure.
235
00:13:24,604 --> 00:13:26,643
So all these schools
are in the Northeast.
236
00:13:26,814 --> 00:13:28,854
- Yeah, so?
- So?
237
00:13:29,025 --> 00:13:31,183
Just a little something
I like to call winter.
238
00:13:31,361 --> 00:13:35,193
God, your bony ass can't even take it
when Newport drops to 70.
239
00:13:35,782 --> 00:13:38,190
- Oh, my God, wait.
- What?
240
00:13:39,077 --> 00:13:40,156
Busted.
241
00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:43,446
Now do you believe me?
That is a couple fight.
242
00:13:43,624 --> 00:13:47,871
Or Dean Hess told Taylor her chances
are better at Cornell than Dartmouth.
243
00:13:48,045 --> 00:13:49,753
You still don't believe me?
244
00:13:49,922 --> 00:13:51,333
No, I'm just saying, look...
245
00:13:51,507 --> 00:13:54,876
...an on-campus argument in front of
the students, faculty and parents...
246
00:13:55,052 --> 00:13:56,630
...is not proof of a relationship.
247
00:13:56,804 --> 00:14:00,672
- Okay, I'm gonna go get you proof.
- What?
248
00:14:04,229 --> 00:14:07,680
- What are you interested in studying?
- I'm not totally sure.
249
00:14:08,358 --> 00:14:10,185
Ryan's strong in math and physics.
250
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,934
And he's shown a real aptitude
for building and drafting.
251
00:14:13,113 --> 00:14:16,067
- Architecture? Got a great program.
- Maybe, yeah.
252
00:14:16,241 --> 00:14:18,115
- It's good to see you.
- Great.
253
00:14:23,332 --> 00:14:24,577
I'll be right back.
254
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:26,417
That looks good.
255
00:14:27,878 --> 00:14:30,796
What is Atwood doing here?
He's not to set foot on this campus.
256
00:14:30,965 --> 00:14:32,590
I cleared it with Principal Kim.
257
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:35,878
You can keep him from enrolling here,
but not from a public event.
258
00:14:36,346 --> 00:14:37,377
I'm calling security.
259
00:14:37,555 --> 00:14:41,600
Unless you have a court-ordered injunction
against my son, keep your hands off him.
260
00:14:42,727 --> 00:14:46,061
Fine, he can stay.
But it's a waste of time.
261
00:14:46,231 --> 00:14:48,390
None of these schools
will even admit him.
262
00:14:48,567 --> 00:14:50,524
Because of the letter
you attached to his file.
263
00:14:50,694 --> 00:14:53,019
Maybe he'll think
about assaulting his next victim.
264
00:14:53,197 --> 00:14:55,189
He made a mistake,
and he should pay for it.
265
00:14:55,366 --> 00:14:57,904
But should the price really be his future?
266
00:14:59,328 --> 00:15:00,609
You're killing his one shot.
267
00:15:04,917 --> 00:15:06,328
No.
268
00:15:06,502 --> 00:15:07,747
He did that all by himself.
269
00:15:27,775 --> 00:15:31,938
Morning, buddy.
Got up early, put on a pot of regular.
270
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,438
Ryan?
271
00:15:36,492 --> 00:15:38,200
Ryan?
272
00:15:42,373 --> 00:15:43,618
Oh, no.
273
00:15:43,792 --> 00:15:45,618
Oh, man.
274
00:15:48,129 --> 00:15:51,000
Ryan, you're here.
275
00:15:51,174 --> 00:15:52,799
Where else would I be?
276
00:15:52,968 --> 00:15:55,969
Well, after last night, I thought
you might have gone Greyhound...
277
00:15:56,138 --> 00:16:00,005
...but clearly my concern
was unfounded because you're fine.
278
00:16:00,184 --> 00:16:03,101
Sure. I mean, no one in my family
even got through high school.
279
00:16:03,270 --> 00:16:06,604
Two years ago the thought of college
never even crossed my mind.
280
00:16:06,774 --> 00:16:09,099
- It was never where I was headed.
- Yeah, okay.
281
00:16:09,277 --> 00:16:12,064
Where are you headed right now?
A field trip with your tutor?
282
00:16:12,238 --> 00:16:14,610
I canceled. If anyone asks,
I'm at the library.
283
00:16:14,782 --> 00:16:15,945
Good. That's a good idea.
284
00:16:16,117 --> 00:16:18,691
You take a day, clear your head
with independent study.
285
00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:21,112
My head is clear.
The tutor's not coming back.
286
00:16:21,289 --> 00:16:24,041
- I'm done with school.
- You're dropping out?
287
00:16:26,795 --> 00:16:29,796
- And then what?
- I don't know yet. Okay.
288
00:16:29,965 --> 00:16:32,587
Well, that's a smart move.
Have you told my parents?
289
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,799
Have you told Mariss...?
That's fine.
290
00:16:34,970 --> 00:16:37,508
High school's... It's overrated.
I'm sure you'll do fine.
291
00:16:38,557 --> 00:16:42,935
Ryan, you can't just drop out of school.
It's only gonna make things worse.
292
00:16:43,771 --> 00:16:45,349
I gotta get to class, okay?
293
00:16:45,523 --> 00:16:47,848
Please, let's just talk after. Bye.
294
00:16:48,026 --> 00:16:50,184
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, great.
295
00:16:50,362 --> 00:16:52,438
- My boyfriend's quitting school.
- Why?
296
00:16:52,614 --> 00:16:55,485
He doesn't think he can
get into college, so he's giving up.
297
00:16:55,659 --> 00:16:58,695
Seems like a smart kid,
I'm sure he'll be all right.
298
00:16:58,871 --> 00:17:00,614
This time, I'm not so sure.
299
00:17:00,789 --> 00:17:04,039
- His family is kind of screwed up.
- Whose isn't?
300
00:17:04,209 --> 00:17:06,997
Okay, true,
but Ryan's is really screwed up.
301
00:17:07,171 --> 00:17:09,579
He's got a chance to be different,
if he'd take it.
302
00:17:09,757 --> 00:17:12,544
- Have you told him that?
- I don't think he'll listen to me.
303
00:17:12,718 --> 00:17:15,292
In fact, I don't know who he'll listen to.
304
00:17:18,349 --> 00:17:20,389
What is that thing?
305
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:25,102
- Miss Morgan?
- No.
306
00:17:25,273 --> 00:17:27,147
Julie Cooper-Nichol.
307
00:17:27,317 --> 00:17:30,104
Oh, right. Kirsten Cohen's referral.
308
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:32,520
The door was open,
so I thought I'd take a peek.
309
00:17:32,698 --> 00:17:36,114
Gave me a chance to really visualize
myself in the place.
310
00:17:36,619 --> 00:17:38,742
- I'll take it.
- Beg your pardon?
311
00:17:38,913 --> 00:17:42,745
I brought the down payment with me.
I'm assuming cash is okay.
312
00:17:44,043 --> 00:17:45,537
- Miss Cooper...
- Cooper-Nichol.
313
00:17:45,711 --> 00:17:49,081
I think we have a misunderstanding.
You see, when we spoke this morning...
314
00:17:49,257 --> 00:17:53,551
...I was under the impression
that this unit wasn't right for you.
315
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,092
- I beg your pardon?
- This is a four-bedroom.
316
00:17:56,264 --> 00:17:59,598
The one that we talked about
is a two-bedroom in the garden.
317
00:17:59,768 --> 00:18:00,883
Garden?
318
00:18:01,061 --> 00:18:03,101
Realtor speak for "basement," right?
319
00:18:03,272 --> 00:18:06,226
- Hello.
- You must be Miss Morgan.
320
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,942
- Yes. Hi.
- Hi.
321
00:18:08,110 --> 00:18:09,735
Julie, right?
322
00:18:09,904 --> 00:18:11,481
Hi. What are you doing here?
323
00:18:12,156 --> 00:18:13,436
I might ask the same thing.
324
00:18:13,616 --> 00:18:17,566
I'm doing business in the area, and I
heard this condo might be a perfect pad.
325
00:18:17,745 --> 00:18:21,245
- But looks like you beat me to it.
- Actually, your timing is perfect.
326
00:18:21,416 --> 00:18:23,907
Sorry, I'm looking for something
with a better view.
327
00:18:24,085 --> 00:18:26,790
Charlotte, the place is all yours.
328
00:18:28,214 --> 00:18:32,627
Well, follow me, Miss Morgan.
We'll start with the master.
329
00:18:47,318 --> 00:18:50,189
Hey, where you been?
I've been looking for you all day.
330
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:51,525
I've been avoiding you.
331
00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:53,655
Just because I don't buy into
your whole...
332
00:18:53,825 --> 00:18:56,232
...Taylor and the dean
forbidden-Iove delusion?
333
00:18:56,452 --> 00:18:59,323
Can we table that. We have
a bigger problem to worry about.
334
00:18:59,497 --> 00:19:02,167
Ryan quitting school?
I know, Marissa told me.
335
00:19:02,334 --> 00:19:05,501
- We should do something.
- Why do you think I'm writing this letter?
336
00:19:05,671 --> 00:19:07,331
A petition? That's a good idea.
337
00:19:07,506 --> 00:19:10,875
No, it's not a petition, dumb-ass.
I'm begging for Taylor's forgiveness.
338
00:19:11,301 --> 00:19:13,627
You had me, and then you...
I think you lost me.
339
00:19:13,804 --> 00:19:18,134
Okay, if Taylor thinks that Dean Hess
is sorry, maybe they'll get back together.
340
00:19:18,309 --> 00:19:21,476
And then we can expose them
and use that to get Ryan back in school.
341
00:19:23,523 --> 00:19:26,358
No, no, l... I understand.
342
00:19:28,862 --> 00:19:30,938
Can...? Can I call you right back?
343
00:19:31,114 --> 00:19:32,656
Thanks.
344
00:19:36,328 --> 00:19:38,486
- What's going on?
- That was Ryan's tutor.
345
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:40,996
- Calling for her final paycheck.
- What?
346
00:19:41,166 --> 00:19:43,871
Ryan told her that he would
no longer be needing her...
347
00:19:44,044 --> 00:19:46,037
...since he won't be
finishing high school.
348
00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:49,204
- Where's Ryan now?
- Seth said he was at the library.
349
00:19:49,383 --> 00:19:51,625
One kid dropping out of school,
the other lying.
350
00:19:51,802 --> 00:19:54,044
And I thought today
was gonna be boring.
351
00:20:09,112 --> 00:20:10,904
Hey, man.
352
00:20:12,241 --> 00:20:15,028
- Hey, Johnny.
- Marissa said they had the best burgers.
353
00:20:15,202 --> 00:20:18,737
- Figured I should check it out for myself.
- They are. Come on in.
354
00:20:21,876 --> 00:20:23,453
So she told you what's going on.
355
00:20:25,421 --> 00:20:26,666
Might have mentioned it.
356
00:20:26,881 --> 00:20:29,253
Well, no offense,
but you barely know me.
357
00:20:29,467 --> 00:20:31,792
Which is why I'm not here
to talk you into anything.
358
00:20:31,970 --> 00:20:33,547
I mean, I'm not going to college.
359
00:20:34,097 --> 00:20:36,718
Figured I'd do all right
in a few surf competitions...
360
00:20:36,891 --> 00:20:40,676
...maybe hook up with some sponsors,
turn that into a career, you know?
361
00:20:40,854 --> 00:20:43,012
It's a simple plan, but...
362
00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:44,435
Better than what I got.
363
00:20:45,192 --> 00:20:47,979
Thought I'd get a job,
figure things out after I make money.
364
00:20:48,904 --> 00:20:51,442
- What kind of job?
- Did construction last summer.
365
00:20:51,615 --> 00:20:54,189
Hours were long, but I liked the work.
366
00:20:55,453 --> 00:20:57,742
My uncle has this
commercial fishing operation.
367
00:20:58,372 --> 00:21:00,495
He's always looking for new guys.
368
00:21:00,666 --> 00:21:02,873
I mean, it's brutal,
but you can't beat the pay.
369
00:21:03,044 --> 00:21:06,378
- Think he'd give me a shot?
- lf you want, I'll take you down there.
370
00:21:26,152 --> 00:21:28,773
He could be off
joining the Foreign Legion...
371
00:21:28,946 --> 00:21:30,903
...joining a cult.
372
00:21:31,532 --> 00:21:33,359
Ryan could be...
373
00:21:33,534 --> 00:21:35,776
He could be taking place
in a mass marriage...
374
00:21:35,954 --> 00:21:38,623
...drinking Kool-Aid
from brand-new sneakers.
375
00:21:39,290 --> 00:21:42,541
- So many sick things.
- I'm gonna try his cell again.
376
00:21:46,339 --> 00:21:47,834
- Hey.
- Ryan.
377
00:21:48,008 --> 00:21:49,383
Dude, where were you?
378
00:21:49,551 --> 00:21:52,007
- We were about to sound an AMBER Alert.
- I'm sorry.
379
00:21:52,179 --> 00:21:54,006
I know you've had a rough 24 hours...
380
00:21:54,181 --> 00:21:57,135
...and I am a firm believer
that every man deserves his space.
381
00:21:57,309 --> 00:21:59,516
- You can't go off like that.
- Won't happen again.
382
00:21:59,687 --> 00:22:02,605
Lucky for you I was able to do
damage control with your tutor.
383
00:22:02,773 --> 00:22:05,312
She's agreed to come to make up
for what you missed.
384
00:22:05,485 --> 00:22:08,402
Oh, I appreciate that, but...
385
00:22:08,905 --> 00:22:10,648
What's this?
386
00:22:11,366 --> 00:22:12,777
It's a guardian release form.
387
00:22:12,951 --> 00:22:14,529
I got a job.
388
00:22:15,203 --> 00:22:16,532
On a boat.
389
00:22:17,497 --> 00:22:20,333
You mean a cruise ship?
You don't really seem like the type.
390
00:22:20,876 --> 00:22:22,204
This is a joke, right?
391
00:22:23,212 --> 00:22:26,047
These boats go out for weeks at a time.
392
00:22:26,632 --> 00:22:29,088
- You're not of age.
- That's why I need your signature.
393
00:22:29,260 --> 00:22:31,965
You wanna throw away your future
to work on a fishing boat?
394
00:22:32,138 --> 00:22:35,092
My future's already trashed.
I tried it your way. It didn't work.
395
00:22:35,266 --> 00:22:37,093
- You have to keep trying.
- No, I don't.
396
00:22:40,730 --> 00:22:42,604
I have been trying...
397
00:22:42,941 --> 00:22:45,942
...and I appreciate everything
you've done for me, I really do...
398
00:22:46,111 --> 00:22:48,946
...but I need to make my own decisions.
399
00:22:50,782 --> 00:22:53,570
And I'm asking you to let me go.
400
00:23:06,090 --> 00:23:07,288
- Sandy.
- Dad.
401
00:23:24,901 --> 00:23:26,811
Come up here and help George
on the deck.
402
00:23:26,987 --> 00:23:28,896
Check the icemaker.
Put the Freon in there.
403
00:23:29,073 --> 00:23:32,027
We lose any in the next haul,
it's coming out of your paychecks.
404
00:23:32,201 --> 00:23:34,194
- Mr. Harper?
- Yeah.
405
00:23:34,370 --> 00:23:36,659
Ryan Atwood, from yesterday.
406
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:38,699
- Yeah, Johnny's friend, right?
- Yeah.
407
00:23:38,875 --> 00:23:40,120
Hold this.
408
00:23:40,293 --> 00:23:42,962
Look, kid, we don't need
part-timers right now.
409
00:23:43,129 --> 00:23:45,371
Check back next summer.
Give me a kneel, somebody.
410
00:23:45,548 --> 00:23:49,546
About that, I got the... I got
the signature. I can... I can do full-time.
411
00:23:52,055 --> 00:23:54,463
You know,
this isn't putting bait on hooks.
412
00:23:54,641 --> 00:23:55,672
It's hard work.
413
00:23:55,851 --> 00:23:58,389
You mess up out there,
you don't get fired, you get hurt.
414
00:23:58,562 --> 00:24:01,729
I worked construction, I can handle it.
I'd appreciate the chance.
415
00:24:01,899 --> 00:24:03,891
Yeah, that's because
you don't know better.
416
00:24:05,736 --> 00:24:08,821
All right, we got a spot open on
the Gale. We're prepping her now.
417
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:11,741
- Great, how long's she gonna be out?
- Depends on the action.
418
00:24:11,909 --> 00:24:15,243
My guess, about three weeks.
She shoves off tomorrow at sunset.
419
00:24:15,413 --> 00:24:17,156
- You got a problem with that?
- No, sir.
420
00:24:17,874 --> 00:24:21,788
- Just got some loose ends to tie up.
- Yeah, don't we all.
421
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,788
All right, don't be late.
422
00:24:26,049 --> 00:24:27,378
Hey.
423
00:24:27,551 --> 00:24:30,124
Oh, hey. How was surfing?
424
00:24:30,304 --> 00:24:33,720
Pretty calm.
Had time to do some soul-searching.
425
00:24:33,891 --> 00:24:37,591
- You gonna talk to him?
- I'm sticking with our plan.
426
00:24:37,770 --> 00:24:40,890
Your plan. Sandy, he's leaving
on a boat tomorrow.
427
00:24:41,065 --> 00:24:45,277
- This is the wrong time to be stubborn.
- Honey, I'm stubborn all the time.
428
00:24:45,445 --> 00:24:47,603
We can't force Ryan
to make the right choice.
429
00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:50,236
But we can stop him
from making a horrible mistake.
430
00:24:50,408 --> 00:24:52,484
From permanently knocking
his life off course.
431
00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:55,282
Yeah, it's a course we set for him.
432
00:24:55,455 --> 00:24:57,744
Would you let Seth do this?
433
00:24:58,667 --> 00:25:01,336
- We kind of did.
- No. No, that was different.
434
00:25:01,503 --> 00:25:05,881
It was summer, he didn't miss school and
it was Seth, we knew he'd come back.
435
00:25:06,050 --> 00:25:08,007
You know, in Ryan's position,
at his age...
436
00:25:08,177 --> 00:25:10,134
...I can't say I wouldn't do
the same thing.
437
00:25:10,304 --> 00:25:11,335
I left home at 17.
438
00:25:11,514 --> 00:25:13,387
To start your life,
not throw it away.
439
00:25:13,557 --> 00:25:16,891
Ryan doesn't want this.
He'll come around.
440
00:25:17,145 --> 00:25:18,805
But we gotta let him
get there on his own.
441
00:25:18,980 --> 00:25:20,723
And what if he doesn't?
442
00:25:21,107 --> 00:25:22,685
- Hey.
- Oh, hi, sweetie.
443
00:25:22,859 --> 00:25:25,017
Have you seen Ryan?
He hasn't returned my calls.
444
00:25:25,195 --> 00:25:28,315
- Oh, he should be home soon.
- This thing has really gotten to him.
445
00:25:28,490 --> 00:25:31,574
I think the best thing we can do
is support him, no matter what.
446
00:25:31,743 --> 00:25:33,570
You wanna throw him
a going-away dinner?
447
00:25:34,162 --> 00:25:36,784
- Well, that's not a bad idea.
- Wait, where's he going?
448
00:25:41,795 --> 00:25:45,414
"You are like a warm breeze
blowing down Van Nuys Boulevard.
449
00:25:45,591 --> 00:25:48,462
From Encino to Reseda,
there is nothing as beautiful as you.
450
00:25:48,636 --> 00:25:50,629
Your eyes are as blue
as a smogless day..."
451
00:25:50,805 --> 00:25:52,845
- What the hell is that?
- Well, I lifted it...
452
00:25:53,016 --> 00:25:54,807
...from the season finale
of The Valley.
453
00:25:54,976 --> 00:25:57,348
When Manuel was busting
a move on April and she found out...
454
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,976
...Jake was sleeping with her mom.
- Riveting stuff.
455
00:26:00,190 --> 00:26:01,850
Yeah. Will you proof it for me?
456
00:26:02,025 --> 00:26:04,979
We have to act fast. Ryan's
a yellow slicker and a beard away...
457
00:26:05,153 --> 00:26:07,111
...from becoming
the Gorton's fisherman.
458
00:26:07,281 --> 00:26:10,531
- Not getting the reference.
- He got a job on a boat, leaves tomorrow.
459
00:26:10,701 --> 00:26:14,035
Wait, what? Wait, are you serious?
Your dad's just, like, letting him go?
460
00:26:14,205 --> 00:26:16,493
Pulling the old Sandy Cohen
Jedi mind-meld on him.
461
00:26:16,665 --> 00:26:19,453
- Trying to break his will by agreeing.
- Like he did with you?
462
00:26:19,627 --> 00:26:22,035
Which you fell for because
you're spineless and weak.
463
00:26:22,213 --> 00:26:23,755
Yes, exactly, but this is Ryan.
464
00:26:23,923 --> 00:26:27,541
So if Taylor's gonna fall for your plan,
we need a language she'll understand.
465
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:30,091
Are you trying to say
that you believe me?
466
00:26:30,305 --> 00:26:33,840
No, not exactly. There's no other
options. Do you have her phone number?
467
00:26:34,017 --> 00:26:36,686
We're not gonna call her.
She's not a moron, she's evil.
468
00:26:36,853 --> 00:26:39,391
We're not gonna call her,
we're going to text her.
469
00:26:39,565 --> 00:26:42,316
- What is that?
- Or, should I say, Dean Hess is.
470
00:26:42,484 --> 00:26:44,524
- You got the bedazzled one? Pink too?
- Yeah.
471
00:26:44,695 --> 00:26:47,482
We can't text her an apology.
We're texting her an apology?
472
00:26:47,865 --> 00:26:50,356
An invitation.
I got a room at the Mermaid Motel.
473
00:26:50,534 --> 00:26:53,156
The place where Ryan may have
conceived Theresa's baby...
474
00:26:53,329 --> 00:26:55,405
...and where Marissa's mom
and Luke got it on?
475
00:26:55,581 --> 00:26:57,325
Newport's very own den of sin.
476
00:26:58,918 --> 00:27:00,626
- But I like it.
- We can even...
477
00:27:00,795 --> 00:27:02,669
I mean, if we have some free time...
478
00:27:03,381 --> 00:27:04,579
Whatever.
479
00:27:11,431 --> 00:27:13,590
Hope you don't mind.
I'm early for your party.
480
00:27:13,767 --> 00:27:14,798
My what?
481
00:27:14,977 --> 00:27:17,682
Well, Sandy and Kirsten wanna
have a send-off party for you.
482
00:27:17,855 --> 00:27:19,978
Since, apparently, you're leaving.
483
00:27:20,149 --> 00:27:22,189
- I was gonna tell you.
- It slipped your mind?
484
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:23,984
No.
485
00:27:24,487 --> 00:27:26,942
I was waiting for the right time...
486
00:27:27,698 --> 00:27:30,569
...since I thought
you might not understand.
487
00:27:30,868 --> 00:27:32,114
Understand what?
488
00:27:32,287 --> 00:27:35,157
- That you're becoming a fisherman?
- It's not about the job.
489
00:27:37,667 --> 00:27:40,040
- I need to make a change.
- A change.
490
00:27:40,420 --> 00:27:41,451
No, not from us.
491
00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:44,584
Right. You taking off for weeks at a time
won't change us at all.
492
00:27:44,758 --> 00:27:47,795
It's not forever, it's...
493
00:27:47,970 --> 00:27:49,797
- It's just until...
- Until when?
494
00:27:50,180 --> 00:27:53,300
The dean lets you back into Harbor?
Because that may never happen.
495
00:27:53,601 --> 00:27:56,471
- I need you to understand.
- Consider it understood.
496
00:28:01,401 --> 00:28:03,524
- You sure about this Julie Cooper?
- Definitely.
497
00:28:03,695 --> 00:28:06,482
She's got all the right connections
and nothing left to lose.
498
00:28:06,656 --> 00:28:08,150
I hope so. You better be right.
499
00:28:08,325 --> 00:28:10,364
I know what I'm doing, babe.
500
00:28:26,093 --> 00:28:27,837
Damn it.
501
00:28:30,848 --> 00:28:33,007
- Hi.
- What the hell are you doing here?
502
00:28:33,184 --> 00:28:35,853
I hope you don't mind.
I got your address from the realtor.
503
00:28:36,020 --> 00:28:37,479
Are you stalking me?
504
00:28:37,647 --> 00:28:39,854
No, but I can see
why you would think that.
505
00:28:40,025 --> 00:28:43,026
- Can I come in?
- You really don't want to. And no.
506
00:28:44,529 --> 00:28:46,439
Okay, well, l...
I have some good news.
507
00:28:46,615 --> 00:28:48,940
- I got the condo.
- Oh, well, I'm happy for you.
508
00:28:49,159 --> 00:28:50,986
- Adios.
- I put it in your name.
509
00:28:53,205 --> 00:28:55,447
- Say what now?
- I bought it for you.
510
00:28:56,292 --> 00:28:57,537
You bought me a condo?
511
00:28:58,794 --> 00:29:02,875
Kirsten filled me in on your situation.
512
00:29:03,549 --> 00:29:05,672
- It moved me.
- It moved me too.
513
00:29:05,843 --> 00:29:07,551
Right into this fleabag hellhole.
514
00:29:08,388 --> 00:29:12,302
Nonetheless, a long time ago I learned
there is no such thing as a free lunch.
515
00:29:12,642 --> 00:29:14,884
- Or condo.
- Julie, I don't want anything from you.
516
00:29:15,228 --> 00:29:18,064
I swear. Except the use
of the spare room when I'm in town...
517
00:29:18,231 --> 00:29:20,308
...which should only be
a couple weeks a year.
518
00:29:20,484 --> 00:29:22,393
Other than that, it's all yours.
519
00:29:24,488 --> 00:29:25,519
You're serious?
520
00:29:25,823 --> 00:29:28,230
I know what it's like
to fall on hard times.
521
00:29:30,327 --> 00:29:34,740
No one else has to know about our
arrangement. This can just be our secret.
522
00:29:39,379 --> 00:29:42,130
You realize, Ryan,
of all our harebrained schemes...
523
00:29:42,298 --> 00:29:45,465
...of which there are many,
quitting school for a life at sea...
524
00:29:45,635 --> 00:29:46,916
...that may be number one.
525
00:29:47,095 --> 00:29:49,966
I can't say the idea has gotten
an enthusiastic response.
526
00:29:50,140 --> 00:29:52,382
Except from your dad,
who's throwing me a dinner.
527
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:54,516
- He's calling your bluff.
- I'm not bluffing.
528
00:29:54,686 --> 00:29:57,094
- Didn't say it was working.
- I think he's hoping to...
529
00:29:57,272 --> 00:30:00,606
...give me enough rope to hang myself.
- You've fashioned said rope...
530
00:30:00,776 --> 00:30:04,560
...into a perfect little sailor's knot.
- Well, it's the best option I got.
531
00:30:04,947 --> 00:30:07,485
If Harbor let you back in,
would that change your mind?
532
00:30:07,658 --> 00:30:09,616
- Never gonna happen.
- Never say never.
533
00:30:09,786 --> 00:30:12,573
- I may have a plan in motion.
- I feel a lot better.
534
00:30:12,747 --> 00:30:14,954
Let's just get this over with.
535
00:30:15,125 --> 00:30:16,951
Let's just get this over with.
536
00:30:17,127 --> 00:30:19,962
We got all dressed up,
and you decided to come to this thing.
537
00:30:20,130 --> 00:30:22,206
- You might as well make the best of it.
- How?
538
00:30:22,382 --> 00:30:24,505
I don't know,
but at the same time tomorrow...
539
00:30:24,676 --> 00:30:29,089
...Atwood is gonna be netting sea bass
with rank fishermen in wool sweaters.
540
00:30:29,264 --> 00:30:32,135
Yeah, well, this could be
the last time I see him for a while.
541
00:30:32,309 --> 00:30:34,765
Where he doesn't smell
like pickled herring.
542
00:30:35,771 --> 00:30:37,100
All right. I'll try.
543
00:30:56,376 --> 00:30:59,995
Honey, this homemade pad thai,
it's delicious.
544
00:31:00,172 --> 00:31:02,295
Keep this up,
we'll save a bundle on takeout.
545
00:31:02,466 --> 00:31:04,542
Oh, thank you. I hope everybody likes it.
546
00:31:04,718 --> 00:31:06,462
I used tofu instead of shrimp.
547
00:31:06,637 --> 00:31:09,840
It's fine by me. I think I've kind of
gone off of seafood for a while.
548
00:31:13,478 --> 00:31:15,435
I for one, I love the tofu.
549
00:31:15,605 --> 00:31:18,096
Tofuna. Tofurky.
550
00:31:18,274 --> 00:31:20,848
To-bagel with cream to-cheese.
551
00:31:23,613 --> 00:31:25,772
- Too much.
- It was a valiant effort.
552
00:31:30,412 --> 00:31:32,321
So tell us about the captain.
553
00:31:33,374 --> 00:31:35,947
Well, he's pretty much
what you'd expect.
554
00:31:36,126 --> 00:31:39,709
Oh, what's that? Eye patch, peg leg?
Parrot on his shoulder?
555
00:31:43,092 --> 00:31:45,417
I love parrots. I think they're cute.
556
00:31:45,595 --> 00:31:48,382
You know, "Polly want a cracker?"
557
00:31:50,391 --> 00:31:52,883
Yeah. Sorry.
558
00:31:56,857 --> 00:31:59,644
Actually, the captain's Johnny's uncle.
That's how I met him.
559
00:31:59,818 --> 00:32:01,894
Johnny got you the job?
560
00:32:02,821 --> 00:32:03,900
Unbelievable.
561
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,906
You know what? I think I'm just ruining
everyone's dinner, so I'm gonna go.
562
00:32:09,078 --> 00:32:10,738
- No, no, no.
- No, no, no. Sit down.
563
00:32:10,913 --> 00:32:12,407
You're not ruining anything.
564
00:32:12,581 --> 00:32:15,666
Well, maybe a little.
But it's completely understandable.
565
00:32:15,835 --> 00:32:19,584
Well, I'm glad something around here is.
Summer, can I have the keys?
566
00:32:22,258 --> 00:32:25,710
- Thanks for dinner, Sandy. Kirsten.
- Excuse me.
567
00:32:31,017 --> 00:32:33,390
Summer, your purse is buzzing.
568
00:32:39,109 --> 00:32:40,936
Taylor took the bait.
569
00:32:41,111 --> 00:32:43,270
Marissa. Hey, wait,
can we talk about this?
570
00:32:43,447 --> 00:32:46,282
What's there to talk about?
You've already made your decision.
571
00:32:47,326 --> 00:32:50,114
- I don't wanna leave like this.
- Then don't leave.
572
00:32:53,625 --> 00:32:56,460
All right. Well, then I guess
we don't have a choice.
573
00:33:05,387 --> 00:33:06,929
- Need any help?
- I'm good, thanks.
574
00:33:07,097 --> 00:33:09,256
At this point I'm pretty good
at packing light.
575
00:33:09,433 --> 00:33:12,185
Are you sure you wanna
go through with this?
576
00:33:12,353 --> 00:33:14,180
You've beaten
the Sandy Cohen mind-meld.
577
00:33:14,355 --> 00:33:15,849
I was hoping if we gave you space...
578
00:33:16,023 --> 00:33:18,395
...you'd realize this isn't the answer
to your problem.
579
00:33:18,567 --> 00:33:20,560
Maybe my problem
doesn't have an answer.
580
00:33:20,736 --> 00:33:23,607
Sure it does. If you keep
out of trouble until you graduate...
581
00:33:23,781 --> 00:33:25,525
...you'll land at a community college.
582
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:28,025
Yeah, post a couple of semesters
of good work...
583
00:33:28,203 --> 00:33:29,946
...you transfer to a four-year school.
584
00:33:30,121 --> 00:33:32,280
If you come from my family,
it's not so easy.
585
00:33:33,166 --> 00:33:34,577
We're your family now.
586
00:33:36,795 --> 00:33:40,294
I may not be an Atwood anymore,
but I'm not a Cohen either.
587
00:33:41,133 --> 00:33:42,627
I don't know what I am.
588
00:33:44,595 --> 00:33:46,588
So you're gonna figure it out lost at sea?
589
00:33:46,764 --> 00:33:49,385
Lost at sea, lost on land.
What's the difference, right?
590
00:33:50,643 --> 00:33:53,644
Well, kid, we can't force you to stay.
591
00:33:54,814 --> 00:33:56,641
But this is your home now.
592
00:33:56,816 --> 00:33:58,145
And the door is always open.
593
00:33:58,818 --> 00:34:00,977
Thank you. I'm gonna head out.
594
00:34:01,154 --> 00:34:03,028
See you in a couple weeks.
595
00:34:24,762 --> 00:34:25,925
Marissa, what's going on?
596
00:34:26,097 --> 00:34:28,339
Hey, I wanted to talk about
that job you got Ryan.
597
00:34:28,516 --> 00:34:30,805
- I'm glad I could help.
- How, by ruining his life?
598
00:34:32,479 --> 00:34:36,429
I'm gonna go out
into the ocean far away.
599
00:34:38,401 --> 00:34:39,516
I'm a little confused.
600
00:34:40,195 --> 00:34:44,442
I mean, Ryan needed a job, I got him
one. I thought I was helping him out.
601
00:34:46,577 --> 00:34:49,198
I know. I shouldn't be blaming you.
602
00:34:49,371 --> 00:34:52,041
It was his decision,
it's just now he's leaving.
603
00:34:52,416 --> 00:34:54,160
I take it it wasn't a happy sendoff.
604
00:34:55,586 --> 00:34:56,867
We got in a fight.
605
00:34:58,965 --> 00:35:01,634
Well, at least you got to be
honest with him.
606
00:35:02,051 --> 00:35:03,629
Tell him how you felt.
607
00:35:03,803 --> 00:35:05,297
Actually, I didn't.
608
00:35:07,682 --> 00:35:10,220
- And I don't even know where he is.
- I do.
609
00:35:14,106 --> 00:35:16,063
Home sweet home.
610
00:35:17,067 --> 00:35:20,234
Wow, gift horse, mouth,
far be it for me to do any looking.
611
00:35:20,404 --> 00:35:21,982
I don't know what to say.
Thank you?
612
00:35:22,156 --> 00:35:24,991
Don't say anything. It makes me
feel great to be able to help.
613
00:35:25,159 --> 00:35:26,701
Though the place needs furniture.
614
00:35:26,869 --> 00:35:29,241
I can cover that.
I have a little money stashed away.
615
00:35:29,413 --> 00:35:32,201
I bet pawning that ring
brought in a small fortune.
616
00:35:32,834 --> 00:35:35,621
- How about a little champagne?
- Aren't you just out of rehab?
617
00:35:36,254 --> 00:35:37,914
All right, for you. I'll have water.
618
00:35:38,089 --> 00:35:41,672
I will open this, I'll meet you out there.
If you can find some glasses.
619
00:35:41,843 --> 00:35:43,587
My pleasure.
620
00:35:55,399 --> 00:35:56,430
She's in.
621
00:35:59,278 --> 00:36:02,030
- Any extra ones?
- All right.
622
00:36:03,366 --> 00:36:04,860
I will. We will.
623
00:36:05,034 --> 00:36:06,943
- All right.
- All right, have a great trip.
624
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,947
- How you doing?
- Get all this below deck.
625
00:36:09,122 --> 00:36:10,664
All right. Let's go.
626
00:36:10,915 --> 00:36:13,537
- Is everything onboard?
- No.
627
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,620
Ryan?
628
00:36:17,089 --> 00:36:18,998
Marissa, what are you doing here?
629
00:36:19,174 --> 00:36:22,341
I couldn't let you leave
without telling you how I really felt.
630
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:23,751
Okay.
631
00:36:23,929 --> 00:36:26,503
You see, I couldn't figure out why
I was so mad at you...
632
00:36:26,682 --> 00:36:29,766
...and then I realized it's because
you're doing what my dad did.
633
00:36:30,144 --> 00:36:32,635
He left and ran away on a boat,
and now you are too...
634
00:36:32,813 --> 00:36:35,898
...so I guess that makes you
just as much of a coward as he is.
635
00:36:38,861 --> 00:36:41,946
And you know what, running away
never really helped him at all.
636
00:36:57,089 --> 00:37:00,339
What if this is the bed
that Julie and Luke had sex in?
637
00:37:00,509 --> 00:37:03,261
- A boy can dream.
- Will you quit peeping out the window?
638
00:37:03,429 --> 00:37:05,920
You don't peep out of windows.
You peep into them.
639
00:37:06,307 --> 00:37:07,849
You'd know.
640
00:37:10,645 --> 00:37:12,685
Taylor. She's coming.
641
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:17,348
Hey, skank.
642
00:37:17,527 --> 00:37:20,777
You were expecting someone taller,
blonder, with a pageboy haircut?
643
00:37:20,947 --> 00:37:22,940
Welcome to the Terrordome, Townsend.
644
00:37:23,116 --> 00:37:26,034
- You're busted.
- For what, exactly?
645
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:29,532
A little extracurricular activity
with Dean Hess.
646
00:37:29,707 --> 00:37:32,032
Yeah, I saw you two
making out at the dance.
647
00:37:32,918 --> 00:37:33,998
So what if we did?
648
00:37:36,631 --> 00:37:38,588
She'd make a hell of a poker player.
649
00:37:38,758 --> 00:37:41,545
- Unless you want this little thingamajig...
- Indiscretion.
650
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,344
...to go public...
- What up?
651
00:37:43,513 --> 00:37:46,383
...we have a few demands, don't we?
- Yeah.
652
00:37:46,558 --> 00:37:49,393
Starting with lifting the ban
of Ryan Atwood from Harbor.
653
00:37:49,561 --> 00:37:52,396
You can go ahead
and tell anyone you want.
654
00:37:52,564 --> 00:37:53,809
No one's gonna believe you.
655
00:37:55,567 --> 00:37:56,848
She's like a block of ice.
656
00:37:57,027 --> 00:38:00,811
You willing to bet your squeaky
little reputation on that, Taylor Trash?
657
00:38:01,407 --> 00:38:06,069
Because I've got a huge mouth
and an even bigger Buddy List.
658
00:38:06,871 --> 00:38:08,910
See this right here? Sidekick.
659
00:38:09,081 --> 00:38:10,825
Walkie-talkie of the 21 st century.
660
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,242
- Who should we radio first?
- How about my dad?
661
00:38:13,419 --> 00:38:15,875
Yeah, ten-four, good buddy.
So, what's it gonna be?
662
00:38:16,047 --> 00:38:19,416
You can either tell Seth's dad
the perverted truth and save your ass...
663
00:38:19,592 --> 00:38:21,585
...or you can roll the dice.
664
00:38:21,761 --> 00:38:24,252
Over and out.
665
00:38:36,485 --> 00:38:39,937
- Sandy, come on in.
- Thanks for meeting me on a Sunday.
666
00:38:40,448 --> 00:38:43,817
I take it from the surreptitious nature
of your phone call...
667
00:38:43,993 --> 00:38:45,902
...you have something serious
to discuss.
668
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:48,617
Surreptitious. Good word.
No wonder they made you dean.
669
00:38:49,123 --> 00:38:50,404
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
670
00:38:50,583 --> 00:38:54,284
Do you classify a surreptitious
student-teacher relationship as serious?
671
00:38:55,922 --> 00:39:00,169
If you're here to make an accusation,
Sandy, then please feel free.
672
00:39:00,344 --> 00:39:02,087
It's just the two of us, we can talk.
673
00:39:02,262 --> 00:39:03,591
Man-to-man.
674
00:39:04,348 --> 00:39:06,637
Why talk when a picture's worth
a thousand words.
675
00:39:06,809 --> 00:39:08,718
Or a hefty lawsuit.
676
00:39:10,020 --> 00:39:12,891
Sorry, I'm not following.
677
00:39:13,399 --> 00:39:16,815
Technology's a bitch, dean.
678
00:39:16,986 --> 00:39:18,730
I have a hard time keeping up with it.
679
00:39:18,905 --> 00:39:21,312
This little puppy's a phone,
it surfs the web...
680
00:39:21,491 --> 00:39:25,074
...and, unfortunately for you,
it transmits photos.
681
00:39:25,745 --> 00:39:28,996
Hard to send a picture of something
that never happened.
682
00:39:29,166 --> 00:39:32,998
So you're saying you didn't get too close
to a coed at the school dance?
683
00:39:34,755 --> 00:39:36,582
And these photos I have are fakes?
684
00:39:40,553 --> 00:39:44,087
She's an aggressive girl.
She had a schoolgirl crush...
685
00:39:44,265 --> 00:39:47,385
...and at the dance,
she forced herself on me.
686
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,351
And it was just a kiss.
687
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,893
I don't think the board
will see this as just a kiss.
688
00:39:52,065 --> 00:39:54,271
Plus, it's not what the girl is saying.
689
00:39:55,193 --> 00:39:56,687
- You talked to her?
- Yep.
690
00:39:56,861 --> 00:39:59,483
She told me everything.
She doesn't want this to get out.
691
00:39:59,656 --> 00:40:03,155
And I assume you don't either, because
this could be a real career killer...
692
00:40:03,326 --> 00:40:05,118
...and you seem to be an ambitious guy.
693
00:40:08,665 --> 00:40:12,200
- What do you want, Sandy?
- You kicked Ryan out of this school.
694
00:40:12,378 --> 00:40:16,078
I want you to let him back in
with a clean slate.
695
00:40:18,050 --> 00:40:20,720
I suggest you get yourself
one of these...
696
00:40:20,887 --> 00:40:24,587
...get on craigslist and find yourself
another position on the East Coast.
697
00:40:24,766 --> 00:40:26,046
Sound good to you?
698
00:40:47,081 --> 00:40:48,741
I didn't know her.
699
00:40:49,625 --> 00:40:51,417
- Mocha?
- Yeah, thanks.
700
00:40:51,586 --> 00:40:54,124
- Skimmed? Regular?
- Regular.
701
00:40:54,297 --> 00:40:56,420
I got into my car when
the cell phone went...
702
00:40:58,134 --> 00:41:01,088
- Coop, are you okay?
- Ryan left.
703
00:41:01,471 --> 00:41:02,965
- He's gone?
- Wait, what?
704
00:41:03,139 --> 00:41:06,840
We just pulled off a life-changing scam.
Are you telling me we're too late?
705
00:41:07,310 --> 00:41:10,893
- What are you talking about?
- Well, it doesn't matter now.
706
00:41:13,692 --> 00:41:15,601
Well, this sucks.
707
00:41:20,533 --> 00:41:23,285
Hey, it's the return of
the not-so-ancient mariner.
708
00:41:27,290 --> 00:41:28,749
Ryan.
709
00:41:29,959 --> 00:41:31,751
Look...
710
00:41:32,712 --> 00:41:35,203
...I don't know what my future is...
711
00:41:35,382 --> 00:41:38,252
...but I know it's with you.
712
00:41:39,177 --> 00:41:40,422
Here.
713
00:41:41,221 --> 00:41:43,261
Not on some boat
in the middle of the ocean.
714
00:41:47,061 --> 00:41:48,306
I love that.
715
00:41:51,273 --> 00:41:52,898
Hey, I got good news for you.
716
00:41:53,067 --> 00:41:55,309
Well, I have good news,
and I have some bad news.
717
00:41:55,486 --> 00:41:58,606
- Yeah, what's the good news?
- Good news is, you're back at Harbor.
718
00:41:59,157 --> 00:42:01,826
- Really?
- My dad bluffed the dean and he caved.
719
00:42:01,993 --> 00:42:06,240
- And the bad news?
- Well, you're back at Harbor, so...
720
00:42:08,667 --> 00:42:10,624
And...?
721
00:42:12,671 --> 00:42:14,913
Oh, you know what,
don't worry about it.
722
00:42:15,090 --> 00:42:17,498
My getting kicked out
was backed up by the community.
723
00:42:17,676 --> 00:42:19,135
With you, it was just the dean.
724
00:42:19,303 --> 00:42:22,138
Besides, public school isn't that bad.
This is good news.
725
00:42:22,306 --> 00:42:23,717
- I think so.
- Yeah, she's right.
726
00:42:23,891 --> 00:42:26,678
You know, we gotta take our victories
as they come.
727
00:42:30,398 --> 00:42:34,099
I have to say, Ryan Atwood, fisherman,
I think that's a good cheer for you.
728
00:42:34,277 --> 00:42:37,064
- Yeah, you like that?
- I came up with some other jobs for you.
729
00:42:37,238 --> 00:42:39,646
But I should warn you,
they're pretty wacky.
730
00:42:39,824 --> 00:42:41,200
- Okay. All right.
- Okay?
731
00:42:41,368 --> 00:42:43,028
Ryan Atwood, bullfighter.
732
00:42:43,203 --> 00:42:46,038
Big hat, like, tight pants
and a little red coat.
733
00:42:46,206 --> 00:42:48,413
- But I don't speak Spanish.
- Neither do bulls.
734
00:42:48,584 --> 00:42:50,826
- Ryan Atwood, bounty hunter.
- Yeah.
735
00:42:51,003 --> 00:42:54,502
Then you could have, like, a crossbow
and steel-toed boots. You like those.
736
00:42:54,673 --> 00:42:56,631
What do you think of
Ryan Atwood, coward?
737
00:42:56,801 --> 00:42:58,674
- That may have been harsh.
- You think so?
738
00:42:58,844 --> 00:43:02,214
- It got your attention.
- Ryan Atwood, fluffer.
739
00:43:02,390 --> 00:43:03,967
- Fluffer?
- Fluff what?
740
00:43:04,142 --> 00:43:06,715
- Let's not ask that.
- I'm gonna explain it later.
741
00:43:07,444 --> 00:43:09,944
