Original subtitles

[male narrator] Previously on "The O.C.."

- You gotta have a plan. - Yeah. Right.

- Who are you? - I stole a car, crashed it.

Then my mom threw me out, so Mr. Cohen took me in.

- You brought him home? - What do you guys do here?

[Marissa] What do you think of Newport?

I think I can get in less trouble where I'm from.

You have no idea.

Shouldn't her boyfriend be doing this?

Sure they're not doing anything

we didn't do.

My dad's not here.

It's just a thing with a client.

- Put him down! - Hey, Ryan.

[grunting]

Welcome to The O.C., bitch.

I don't want this kid in my house anymore.

Guys, come on, out of the pool. Dinner's almost ready.

Dad, I know.

I understand how important

the model home is to the new development.

'We'll sell the lots by Christmas, I promise.'

Okay. Bye.

[sighs]

I wish there was more we could do.

Honey, you're his lawyer, not his guardian.

I know. I know. I know.

In the morning, I'll take him to the child services.

What kind of mother just abandons her child?

What happens if they don't find her?

He'll go into the system. Foster care till he's 18.

I mean, they'll try and place him, but at his age..

...it'll be impossible.

[instrumental music]

You know what I was thinking?

I think that this being your last night and all

uh, we should do something special.

'I don't know what.'

Possibly get a couple of tattoos, or some hookers

and lose our virginity, right?

Okay, dude, I don't know, there's a shark movie

'at the IMAX if that's what you're into.'

I think I just wanna take it easy.

Oh. How was your swim?

It was great.

What's that?

It's a model home.

I-I build them. Well, the real ones, not...that one.

Can you build me one?

Sorry. Bad joke.

- Thanks. - Mm-hmm.

So..

...the last supper, huh?

Sorry. Bad joke.

It's just a laugh riot around here.

This all looks really good.

Yeah, it's too bad you're leaving.

We never eat like this.

That's not true. I cook all the time.

[scoffs] Dad.

I'm sorry, honey.

[laughing]

Let's just eat.

Now, we're not saying we want you to cook more.

Oh. Hell no, you remember

the meat loaf incident of '98?

That was brisket.

'Yeah, that's my point exactly.'

As your attorney, I'll cosign these forms.

They basically say that..

...you don't have a legal parent or a guardian available.

So I'm now property of the government.

'Nickname 0-3-8-2-9-6-5.'

Hey, it's better than Death Breath Seth.

Or so I would imagine.

So we'll meet with your social worker in the morning

and, and, uh, and she'll be the one to

uh, to take you to the, to the group home.

My contact at child services got you in

with only two other kids, which is good

because it, it can get crowded.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

And you know..

...they do find foster homes for kids your age.

Yeah, because everybody wants a brand-new teenager.

I'm sorry if I'm the only one here that'll state the obvious.

But we have all this extra room, right? We have a pool house.

Yet, you guys are gonna ship him off to a group home?

Am I the only one who gets how much that sucks?

It's okay. Really.

[instrumental music]

Good luck with it. It looks perfect.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

[music continues]

Hey, how about a little, uh..

...PlayStation perhaps?

- Uh, are you running away? - Go back in the house, Seth.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

You can't just run away. What are you thinking?

What about, like, child services or-or my dad?

Okay, then, wait, hey, I wanna come with you.

You know what I've always wanted to do, besides sail to Tahiti?

I want to do that whole Kerouac thing.

Hit the road, stop at diner to diner

the pancake tour in North America.

- No. - Fair enough.

- Where are you going? - I don't know.

New town, get a job somewhere, save some money.

That's a great plan, dude, it sounds like

you've given it a lot of thought.

You got a better idea?

Actually, I do.

Seth?

[knock on door]

'Hey.'

Can I talk to you?

[Seth] 'Dad?'

'What, is it morning?'

You're asleep?

Yeah, I was. What's going on?

Well, uh.. I wanted to talk about Ryan.

Yeah, I know. It's cool. We don't need to discuss it.

Well, I think we, we do.

I mean, I know you're upset, your mother and I are upset.

'You know, but our responsibility'

'is to, is to our family.'

Yeah, it's okay. No, I get it.

I mean, this is a person's life we're talking about

and we need to leave it in the hands of the authorities.

- There's no need for sarcasm. - I'm not being sarcastic.

Well, it's hard to tell sometimes.

Dad..

...it's okay.

- Really. - When you want to talk about--

Yeah, I know. You're the one to talk to.

'Got it. Goodnight.'

- Goodnight. - 'Goodnight.'

[instrumental music]

Come on, Seth.

Okay, got it. I'll be there in, like, 20 minutes.

- Hey. - Hey.

I didn't think I'd see you again.

Look, I wanted to say thanks for the other night.

You always drink like that?

I thought you left.

I did. I am.

Ryan. Ryan, hey, we're all set. You ready?

Hi, there, Marissa.

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

We're just hanging out. Oh, look, it's somebody's birthday.

I guess my invitation probably got lost in the mail.

It's my friend Summer's birthday.

Summer's birthday is not till Wednesday.

That's what I heard. I don't know. I.. That was a guess.

You guys are up to something.

- Dude, what did you tell her? - I didn't tell her anything.

Maybe the black turtleneck in August tipped her off.

Okay, I was going for stealth, and also it's slimming.

We should really go. Have fun at your party.

You should probably be off. The Newport social scene awaits.

[Marissa] 'Oh, yeah?'

'Why won't you tell me where we're going?'

- This is pretty far away. - Oh, wow, complaining.

That's, that's very interesting, considering nobody invited you.

Before I came along, you were on a skateboard.

Ah. Ah!

♪ It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday ♪

♪ It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday.. ♪♪

- You like them? - Yeah, I guess.

- Well, what do you like? - Everything.

I-I don't know, I don't really listen to music.

- Dude, that's kind of weird. - Why? What do you like?

Uh, right now, punk.

I'm sorry, uh, Avril Lavigne doesn't count as punk.

Oh, yeah. Well, what about The Cramps?

Stiff Little Fingers. The Clash. Sex Pistols.

I listen to the same music as Marissa Cooper?

- I think I have to kill myself. - You listen to punk, huh?

I'm angry.

That's it right there.

[Marissa] 'Looks scary.'

[Seth] 'Then you can stay in the car.'

Do you recognize this place, Ryan?

- This isn't.. - Where are we?

Well, it's one of my mom's housing developments.

Her and my grandpa own a bunch of them.

This is supposed to be the model home

but it never got finished.

Why? Did someone die here, and now it's haunted?

Yes. That's exactly what happened.

- What did happen? - I don't know.

[Kirsten] How do contractors just disappear?

If we don't have a model home, we don't have a new development.

It's been a month. I'm not waiting for you guys anymore.

You know where to reach me.

- No luck with the contractors? - Vanished.

My father's never gonna let me hear the end of this.

Mm-hmm.

Did you, uh, did you talk to Seth?

[sighs] I think so. Hey, don't blame yourself.

I'm not blaming myself, but how can I allow a strange boy

to live in this house?

Seth needs to know it's what any mother would do.

I was talking about the contractors.

[chuckles]

So you want him to stay here?

Well, I mean, I know the place needs some sprucing up, but..

God, did I just say sprucing?

So, Ryan, what do you think?

I haven't really had time to think.

But how much better is this place than some group home?

And wait till you see the best part.

Oh-oh.

- It's an empty pool. - To some people.

So your mom, I mean..

...she has to come back, right?

I don't know. My mom's kind of a train wreck.

So is mine.

Well, I mean, what about your dad? Can you call him?

Dad's in jail. Armed robbery.

Impressive, huh?

My dad, he's, like, a financial planner.

And I think he's in trouble.

I don't have any stock tips.

He stopped going to the office, and these guys keep showing up

at the door, like cops.

But he won't answer.

[chuckles] Look, I haven't told anybody that--

I can keep a secret.

[cell phone ringing] Mm.

- Hey. - 'Where you at, girl?'

It's time for you to get your buzz on.

Nordlund's so faded, he can't even feel his feet.

There goes the left leg!

I miss you, babe.

You know it's not a party without you.

- Oh, you're sweet. - 'What's the deal?'

'I mean, you were supposed to be here an hour ago.'

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Say hi to everyone.

Alright. Love you.

Love you too.

Bye.

So how long you been with him?

Luke? Um..

- I don't know, really. - I know.

Fifth grade, when you two got your mack on

during our class trip to the Museum of Tolerance

back of the bus. Classy lady.

You know what? What's your problem, Cohen?

I mean, what did I ever do to you?

Nothing, Marissa, I've lived next door to you forever

and you've never done or said anything to me.

Oh, my God, you're the one who never talks to me.

You think you're so much better than everyone.

I do?

Well, if you're talking about Luke, then, yes.

Because that guy shaves his chest!

- Hmm. He plays water polo. - 'We know.'

Half the team tried to kill us the other night.

I'm not too popular around here.

And your boyfriend, a little bit angry.

And you're telling me you didn't try to hit him back?

Actually, I hit him first.

Well, hard to believe you're not more popular.

Hmm.

I thought this could be your room.

I still don't know if it's a good idea

for me to stick around or not.

You should stay.

Okay. For a little while.

So when she says it, you listen?

[cell phone ringing]

Hey, Summer.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, is that Summer?

Tell her I said happy birthday.

- Okay. - Coop, where are you?

- We're coming to get you. - Oh, no, no, don't. I'm coming.

Tell her I said happy birthday.

[chuckles] Seth Cohen says happy birthday.

- Who? - She says thanks.

Uh, look, I gotta go. Okay. Bye.

I gotta go meet my friends.

My other friends.

[Seth] I should get back too and protect my cover

but, wait, listen

we have to promise not to tell anyone about this place, okay?

Now, Ryan's not going to, obviously

'and I could get grounded.'

So that leaves Marissa.

[chuckles] I can keep a secret.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Me too. We'll fix this place up.

- Cool. - I'm telling you, Ryan.

This plan is foolproof.

[instrumental music]

Hey, Ryan?

Hey, Ryan? You ready?

[music continues]

[Seth] 'Okay, the key here is not to panic.'

Do you have your supplies?

Yeah, but there are cops at your house.

I mean, do you think it's safe?

I'll handle Johnny Law, unless..

- Are you losing your nerve? - Meet me in the driveway.

He couldn't have gotten far. We'll search the neighborhood.

Seth, I was just gonna get you. We gotta talk about Ryan.

Oh.

[Julie] 'Marissa..'

'...look who's here.'

- Luke, hi. - Hey.

Mm. Just grabbing a little grub before we take the boat out.

Boat?

Yeah, I thought we'd take my dad's Donzi.

'Do a little waterskiing, have a little lunch.'

So you have no idea where Ryan might have gone?

I don't know.

He did say something about going down to Mexico

and-and gambling on cockfights.

I mean, I don't, I don't know what kind of jurisdiction--

Quit joking around. Will you answer his question?

Yes, I did. I really don't know.

I do not know the guy. I never got the chance.

Hey, there's eggs.

Oh, I'm taking Kaitlin to the stables

so I need to get that check.

Does Kaitlin really need a pony?

In a couple months, she's not even gonna like horses.

What? I love China. She's the prettiest pony.

We're not giving up China. Now, go wait in the car, sweetie.

Mommy will be right with you.

[door opens]

Jimmy, all this work is making you so tense.

Look, I gotta, I gotta..

...I've gotta talk to you about work.

Hey, you know I don't like to talk about work.

Yeah, well, I, uh, have made a, a few m-mistakes

and, uh, I don't, I don't know really..

Jimmy, you don't have cancer. No one is dying.

Whatever it is, whatever you've done

I'm sure you'll fix it.

Now, can you write that check? I don't want Kaitlin to be late.

Okay?

It's just, Suki is amazing.

It doesn't hurt at all when she's waxing you

and it's really hard to get an appointment with her.

I know. Why don't you get a manicure?

You could come with me. I mean, they're not just for girls.

Uh, you go. We'll catch up later.

Holly's having a..

- Holly's having a thing. - Perfect.

- So did you tell him anything? - No.

But if anyone asks, you're Suki.

So you didn't tell them anything?

Um, actually, I told them you went to Mexico for cockfights.

And you know what though, even if they don't believe me

they'll never look for you here.

Did you seriously bring a loofa?

- What's a loofa? - Hey!

You said bring whatever was around the house.

Right. I meant, like, survival supplies

like, uh, rope or muskets, and not..

...Kiehl's Cucumber Moisturizer.

- Pretty good call. - That's nice.

Hey.

Here's a little bit of everything.

Let your education begin.

This place is perfect. Seriously, it's totally safe.

Ryan, how perfect is this place, right?

'Seriously, what else could you need?'

Anyone bring any food?

[Seth] 'Food. Guess we're going on a mission.'

Are you accusing him of lying?

Well, that'll be really good for your relationship.

Let the police handle this.

Oh, I wish you hadn't called the police.

They don't have the resources or the manpower.

Ryan will just slip through the cracks.

Sandy, how many of these cases have you seen?

'That have passed across your desk?'

[sighs]

What is it about this kid?

I thought I could help him. Well, make a difference.

I was this kid.

If someone hadn't helped me..

...I wouldn't be here.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

- How are you? - 'I'm good.'

Listen, I hate to ask, but, um

I-I-I need your help with something.

Uh, of course.

China has alopecia.

'We need to call the vet.'

Um, are you, are you free for lunch?

Um, yeah.

Um, I have some stuff that I need to do for work

but, um, lunch sounds great.

[Ryan] 'So, you guys'

'I've been thinking about a plan.'

You know, uh, right now, this could very well

be the first stop on our pancake tour of North America.

Hey, like in "On the Road?"

That's my favorite book.

Mine too.

So here's the deal.

My mom had this boyfriend

he hired me to work construction last summer

but then they broke up.

He moved away...to Austin.

In Texas.

He said if I was ever out there, to look him up, so..

I mean, well, that's really kind of far.

We were thinking, like, Long Beach

or something, so we could still hang out.

I'll need to get a couple days of work

so I can get a little bit of travel money.

Well, I mean, we can get you money.

Well, I mean, you know, I guess in a way you're kind of lucky.

You get to move to a whole new place

start over, be whoever you wanna be.

'That's really not so bad.'

[laughing]

[sighs] Hey.

[Luke laughing] 'What's it take to get a menu here?'

- Okay, I'll handle it. - No, it's alright.

- I'll handle it. - And ruin your popularity?

You know what, why don't you guys just sneak out the back?

What's going on with you two?

Hey, how's it going?

[Marissa] 'Oh, it was great.'

[indistinct chattering]

Hey! Front door.

[Marissa] 'Hey, guys, I was thinking we could go to Holly's..'

Yeah, thanks.

- Sounds good. - Awesome.

So, what did you guys do today?

Hello, there. Hi.

Hey, guys. How you doing? You like the food here too?

- It's pretty awesome. - Shut up, queer.

[chuckling] Well, at least I don't shave my chest.

- What did you say? - Luke, come on.

I just said, you look nice in a sweater vest.

'It was a compliment.'

Do you want me to break you, Cohen?

Hey.

No way. Look who's back.

You know, you're a little far from "8 Mile."

Luke, don't.

What are you, like, spokesperson for geeks of America

or something?

You know what I like about rich kids?

What's..

Nothing.

- That was awesome! - Come here, come here!

- 'You punk!' - 'Come on, man! Come here!'

'Come here! You're dead meat.'

Cohen, you're dead meat, man! You're dead meat!

Go!

Come on. Come on, you chump!

- You're dead! - Come on!

[instrumental music]

"You know what I like about rich kids?"

'Bam! "Nothing."'

Hey, Ryan, you wouldn't consider me rich, would you?

I'd be more upper-middle class.

What's up, fool?

You know, you didn't have to hit him.

Sorry.

'You know what, the cashier called the cops.'

Look, I don't know why Luke does that.

Did that. He's just..

- An ass? - Protective.

[engine revving]

[Seth] God, it's my mom.

And your dad.

♪ Want to be ♪♪

Whoa.

Yeah, it's been a while.

I'll have to figure out what kind of shape this place is in.

Wow.

Oh.

That's what those contractors have been doing.

[Jimmy] 'This place...is fantastic.'

[Kirsten] 'You think so? You don't think it's too much?'

[Jimmy] 'Too much? Are you kidding?'

You're talking to a guy whose wife just imported

ceramic shower-curtain rings from Morocco.

'This is gorgeous, with the high ceilings'

and the, and the molding.

It's nice. It reminds me of, uh..

- Your parents' house. - On Elm Grove.

Yeah, with the vaulted ceilings and those great beams, and..

- You remember that? - Yeah.

- I loved that old house. - Yeah, I loved that place too.

- I had my first kiss there. - Me too.

So, what's going on, Jimmy?

[sighs] Uh.. That's..

I just had a really bad year with the market, and, uh..

Well, it was disastrous.

And it's gonna be a struggle

just to remain solvent for the--

How much do you need?

[chuckles] It's, it's..

It's a lot, it's a, it's a lot of money. It's too much.

[Kirsten] Jimmy.

It's a $100,000.

- 'I'll call the bank.' - No, I-I can't.

[Kirsten] 'I can.'

I-I-I'll pay you back.

But it's gonna take me a couple of months.

I know where you live.

This place is gonna be perfect.

I hope so. The new contractors come tomorrow.

- Better get the job finished. - New contractors.

- Sounds like a nightmare. - Pretty much.

[indistinct chattering]

Are you okay?

So the contractors start tomorrow.

Guess that means I'm gone.

One bus ticket to Austin. 8 a.m. tomorrow.

"Would you like to purchase?"

- Hey. - Hey.

- We're not knocking anymore? - I'm sorry.

- What are you doing? - Uh, just busy.

- 'God, you're always busy.' - It's the price of fame.

I gotta go, dad.

They found Ryan.

Or spotted someone who meets his description.

There was a fight down by the pier.

Really?

'Which means he's probably still in the area.'

We should go try to find him before the authorities do.

Before he gets into anymore trouble.

Actually, do you need me to go?

I was, I was going somewhere.

Yeah, okay.

No, this is ESPN Classic. They play all old games.

Give me a hug.

What's the matter, huh?

Oh-ho-ho. You can tell me.

We tell each other everything.

Do we?

[music continues]

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

I'll meet you there.

♪ Yeah we're going out tonight ♪

♪ We're gonna jack the car ♪

♪ We're gonna pick a fight ♪

- Hey. - Hi.

- Did Marissa come back? - Unh-unh.

You smell like smoke.

Yeah, we, uh, we hot-boxed in Nordlund's car.

And didn't invite me?

Ugh!

Dude, that kid was messed up.

- He was breathing. - I hope so.

[indistinct chattering]

I can't believe this. This house is cursed.

- You the owner? - Yes, I am.

- What happened? - Not sure yet.

But it looks like somebody's been living here.

What?

[Seth] 'It's my fault.'

[instrumental music]

- You're okay. - Disappointed?

Where you going?

Don't know.

We both keep our mouths shut.

They may never know it was us.

[scoffs]

- What are you doing? - You're giving me a ride.

I don't know what happened.

I-I do not know why the house burned down.

What was he even doing there? Why didn't you tell us?

Because he didn't wanna go to a foster home.

Well, he didn't wanna leave, and I didn't want him

to leave either. It's like..

You force me to live amongst these, these pod people

and the first cool person I meet, it's like

you kick him out of the house.

Well..

...I did the best I could.

So did I.

Come on. The police wanna ask us some more questions.

[man on radio] 'Uh, dispatcher, is there a description..'

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter on radio]

Just follow my lead.

[intense music]

You and I need to talk.

And this time I want the truth.

[dramatic music]

- I'm sorry. - 'Ryan Atwood?'

[music continues]

We got some questions for you.

- It was an accident. - Yeah, you were there?

Yeah.

Then we got some questions for you too.

Officer, I'm Mr. Atwood's attorney.

Please don't ask him any questions unless I'm present.

Ryan...keep your mouth shut.

You too.
