Holly Hobbie (2018) s01e03 Episode Script

1
- We're all strangers at first.
Then we meet.
And hang out.
And get to know each other.
And maybe share
some French fries,
or even a toothbrush
if we're in a bind.
But no matter
how well you know someone,
do you ever really know
who you can trust?
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- I am so excited that you want
to perform at our Open Mic!
How would you describe your act?
- Hmmm Transcendent.
- Cool! But what do you do?
- Well, I play the marimba
wearing this.
- Meanwhile, I paint
a huge canvas,
building abstract shapes and
colours on top of one another
until I turn it
upside down.
The abstract shapes
weren't even abstract at all.
It was a portrait
the whole time.
- What you thought you knew,
you didn't. What do you think?
- That the last few Open Mics
were good, but this one's
gonna be way better!
- (man): We just want to say
that these Open Mic nights
have been very tight.
- You cannot find
community engagement
like this in the city.
It's why we moved here.
- Yes! The Open Mic is supposed
to bring everyone together!
You understand my vision!
- You left the awesome city?!
For here?!
A place that is
also awesome?
- It's not the size
of the place that makes it
exceptional,
it's the people in it!
Which is why we need you guys
to perform at our open mic!
- Holly, the town noise limit
ends at 9 p. m.
and the lineup
is already too long.
We've already gotten tickets
for noise violations;
the next one will cost us
a hundred dollars.
- We could do
the next one, I guess.
- No, no. No way!
In two days,
the town will experience
What are you called?
- Rabbit Shuffle.
- I thought we settled
on Far Wilding.
- We're still deciding.
- We're still deciding.
- Then, we'll just have
to cut someone else.
- Why do you have to kill
my vibe with logic?
- Because math
is inflexible.
Two plus two cannot equal five
no matter how much you whine.
- Collinsville needs
our open mic
to come together, especially
after the whole fiasco
with the cucumber
getting destroyed.
- You won't have enough time
unless you know
how to create a paradox
that adds more hours to the day.
- Exactly! We need more time!
- Holly, do not
create a paradox.
- Come on, we need
to talk to the Mayor!
- I don't feel safe
in this town anymore!
If some scum-rat hoodlums
- We can't just
interrupt town hall.
- Excuse me.
- (man): Who knows what else
they're capable of?!
Think of the children!
- It's settled.
The Open Mic night is suspended
until further notice.
- What?!
(indistinct chatter)
On what grounds?
- Vandalism. It's clear
the Open Mic was responsible for
the destruction of the cucumber.
- Can't you just grow
another one?
- Another one?!
The world record folks
were coming to add Oscar
to the record book.
He was once in a lifetime!
- Genus-wise,
he was unusually large.
- Sure, but there's no evidence
saying that the Open Mic
was involved.
- Before the Open Mic,
there was no crime in
Collinsville, and now
Miss Hobbie,
we need to nip this
in the bud before things
get even more out of hand.
- Find the person who did it!
- Unfortunately,
we have important business
to attend to regarding
next week's Pickle Festival.
- Excuse me.
Sorry. Sorry.
Excuse me. Thanks.
Mrs. Mayor, the Open Mic
gives this town a voice!
- Community spirit is important,
but town council is
unanimous on this.
- It's not unanimous!
I vote against.
- You're not
on the town council.
- Then put me on it!
I'll do anything!
I'll come to all the meetings!
I'll cut ribbons!
- Council members must be
at least 18 years of age.
- So that's it?
The adults make the decisions
for everything?
That's so unfair!
- Further Open Mics will be
subject to a fine.
That is all, Miss Hobbie.
Good day.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- They shut down the Open Mic?!
We have to rebel! I say
we do it anyway!
- Right, because
openly defying the Mayor
won't make the situation worse.
- Holly, what do you think?
Holly? Is she OK?
- Just you wait.
It's this thing she does.
- What's it mean?
- When it's slow like this,
she's coming up with a plan.
Strumming is for
when she's wistful.
And if she plays it fast,
bring her candy
and do not ask questions.
- Does it work?
The plan music?
- The last time she did this,
she successfully argued
for crop tops to be allowed
on the school dress code.
- Holly wears crop tops?
- No, but she thought other
people should have the right to.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
Here we go.
- We're 13,
but the adults treat us
like we're still in diapers!
Our options are
rebel and get a time out,
or do what they say
and get a lollipop.
Well, I for one am done
with lollipops!
Figuratively speaking.
- Yes! Let's rebel!
- There's a third option.
We find who really did
the vandalism,
then rub it in the faces
of everyone on town council.

- Send the cucumber
to the DNA lab.
We'll cross-reference
the findings against
the townspeople. Boom. Done.
- Sorry to shock you,
but a town with one dentist
doesn't have a DNA lab.
- OK Let's access global
satellite images of the town
from when the crime happened
to enhance them and we get
a positive ID of perp.
- I'm positive we don't have
access to government satellites.
- I'm all out
of cop-show solutions!
- Can you guys
take this seriously?
If we can find out whoever
destroyed the cucumber,
the Open Mic tomorrow night
can still happen.
- Great. So, uh what now?
- We look for clues. Obviously.
- This is impossible. Why did
we think we could do this?
- OK, listen, if Marie Curie
could discover radiation
against all odds,
we can definitely do this.
- That radiation
killed her BT Dubs.
- Hey, Nancy Drew!
Have you and your sidekicks
discovered the culprit yet?
- Tyler, did you ever think
about annoying someone else?
- Thought about it.
Didn't take.
- That's a real shame.
- Isn't it?
- Seriously though, we're busy.
(camera click)
- Good luck CSI-ing, detectives.
(dog barking)
- You know, some criminals
revisit the scene
of their crimes.
- This crime
isn't Tyler's type.
- Yeah, his style
is more "burn down a barn,
then disappear for a year."
(Holly chuckles.)
You know,
Piper may have a point,
re: the futility of our mission.
- Wait.
I think I found some evidence.
It's a single, white hair.
This could belong
to whoever
destroyed the cucumber,
which means our suspect
is an old person.
- Bingo.
You know, 'cause old people
love playing bingo.
Come on, that was good!
- Actually, this hair
is too thick and coarse
to belong to any human.
- Which means
it's an animal? What kind?
- Let me check it online.
Hair roots are specific
to animal type.
This root has
the course diameter.
It's from a cow.
- That can't be right.
There aren't any cows
in Collinsville
with long white hair.
Unless
- It was all a load of bull.
Because bulls are
a type of cow.
Get it? It was a bull!
- So I finally watched
that shark movie.
It was so legit.
Like that part
where the shark just came out
of the wave onto the beach
(boys laughing)
- Got you!
- What are you doing?!
- Come on, just try
to get out of it.
- He would
if he were strong enough.
- Maybe if she didn't catch me
off guard like some cheap shot.
- Strong words from a weakling.
I beat you all the time.
I could cream you any day.
- Right, any day
except weekdays and weekends.
You're just a girl!
- It's a fact:
guys are stronger than girls.
Deal with it.
- Oh yeah?
Let's settle this.
You. Me. Arm wrestle right now
for the title of the strongest.
- (boy): Oooh!
- (man): OK, guys, bring it in.
- Ugh! Looks like Coach
wants us back on the field.
- You got lucky this time.
You won't tomorrow.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- Working on the farm,
you must get animal hair
on your clothes all the time.
- Oh yeah, it's a real issue
because we wash our clothes
by hand, like the pioneers.
- But we wanted a simpler life,
so we're happy.
- We're happy.
(couple chuckling)
- What would you say
if I told you that we found
your bull's hair on the cucumber
destroyed in town?
- Whoa, do you think
that we nuked the cuke?
- We were at the Open mic, yeah.
The cuke was fine
when we got there,
but then it was busted
by the time we left.
- She's right.
- Sorry. Awkward!
- OK.
- How could the bull hair
have gotten to the cucumber?
- Didn't we see
those football boys?
- Oh yeah, hon! Yeah, I think
we saw those football boys
doing some selfies
with the bulls.
- Oh right! Yeah, Robbie was
talking about that.
The football players dare each
other to take dangerous selfies
with the bull
for some dumb boy reason.
Hashtag "mission impossibull".
- Oh yeah, they're always
hopping in the pen and throwing
an arm around the bull.
It's actually quite dangerous.
- Don't do it.
- One of them must have taken
a selfie with the bull,
gotten the bull's hair on him,
then went and smashed
the cucumber.
- Of course! Perfect motive!
- Is it?
- Teen boys do dumb
stuff all the time.
- Did you see any football
players at the bullpen
before the Open Mic?
- No. We were watching
that obscure Korean soap opera.
- Ohhh
- Once you get us started,
do not try to get us to stop.
- (man): Mm-mm.
(woman chuckling)
- Two football players posted
before the Open Mic.
Let's see if
they know anything.
Maybe mission impossibull was
followed by mission impossidill.
- Maybe just leave
the jokes to me.
- Yeah. And, Holly,
those football guys aren't going
to be eager to talk to us.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- We just need
to apply some pressure.
- Go!
- You know you can't
win this, right?
- I don't have to win
against you, just Levi.
I've beaten him all my life and
I don't want to mess this up!
- OK, I can teach you how,
but first, I need to know
why are you doing this?
- To prove that girls are
stronger than boys.
Try to keep up.
- OK, I get that, but why?
- I don't follow.
- It's a lose-lose situation
If you lose the arm wrestle,
you'll feel weak.
(grunting with effort)
And if you win,
Levi will hate you forever.
You'll be embarrassing him
in front of all his friends.
- You know, I never
thought of it like that.
- All I'm saying is no guy wants
to be weaker than a girl.
- But if it's the truth,
who cares?
Would you be upset
if Lyla beat you?
- No. Because it would
never happen. OK, the key to
winning is increasing leverage.
I can show you how as long as
you realize Levi might not
want to be friends with you
if you beat him. Is winning
worth that much to you?
- I almost had you that time.
- You really didn't.
- Ow.
(boy chuckling)
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- Hey
- Hey.
- You're on
the football team, right?
- Not to brag,
but yeah, I am.
- So what do you know about
our town's beloved cucumber?
- Nothing.
- Really?
'Cause Todd Flanagan said you
wrecked that cuke real good.
- Todd said that?! That guy
is nothing but a pile of
- Shiitake mushroom soup.
- Robbie, I really do not care
what you had for lunch.
We've narrowed it down to
a few suspects. Have you heard
anything from the other players?
- Oh yeah, all we talk about is
cucumbers. Yeah, we're real
big into veggies.
Come on. Nobody on the football
team could have done that.
- Wait, weren't you going to
take a selfie with the bull?
- I bailed. It seemed like a
pretty stupid reason to get
hurt, don't you think?
- Admit it, you just didn't want
to mess up your hair.
- Holly, sometimes you can be
such a pain in the
- Ask me that again.
- Is Todd Flanagan
telling the truth?
- Yeah, I took a selfie with
a bull but went home after that.
Don't know about your cucumber.
- Prove it. Show your location
services data. You're innocent,
you've got nothing to hide.
- You think I'm just gonna
hang over my phone?
- Suit yourself. I am sure if
Coach Gaines finds out you've
been harassing farm animals, he
won't bench you for that long.
(boy sighing)
You're clean.
Well, you could use a shower.
- Yeah, we're done here.
- By the way, Todd never said
anything, don't be mad at him!
- So what if
all our leads dried up?
It's OK. We still have time
to find some evidence.
- Actually, I have to finish
my geography project.
Sorry, Holly.
- And I have
cheerleading practice.
Sorry, Holls,
but it was pretty ambitious
to think
we'd figure this out.
- Want my advice?
In all those cop shows,
the true perp is
someone who's introduced
earlier on in the investigation.
- It's not Tyler.
- Just saying.
Anyway, gotta go.
You're OK, right?
- Yeah, sure. I'll be fine.
I always figure something out.
(camera click)
What do you want, Tyler?
(Holly crying softly)
- Are you crying
over the cucumber?
(exasperated sigh)
- Can you leave me alone?!
For your information,
it's not about the cucumber.
It's about being ditched
by my friends
when I need them
the most.
Just leave me alone
to wallow in my own misery.
- As fun as that sounds,
how about I help you
with the investigation?
- Really?
- Why not?
Nothing else to do in this town.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- ♪Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ♪♪
- You sure you want to do this?
- It's your funeral.
But if you want to back out now,
there's no shame in it.
- I'll go easy on you.
- OK, I want a clean fight.
On the count of three.
One, two, three, go!
(boys cheering)
(grunting with effort)
- I can't believe it.
I can't believe it!
Levi's gonna get
beat by a girl.
- Shut up, Mark!
(boys cheering)
- Heather! Heather!
Heather! Heather!
- Levi's the champion!
Buddy, I was wrong about you.
See, Heather? Boys are stronger.
- I guess I learned
my lesson.
- Whoa! Whoa!
- Woo!
(typing on keyboard)
- OK, this should be it.
But first, you sure
you can handle the truth?
- Why couldn't I?
- So if it's Piper or Amy,
you're not gonna go bonkers?
- Piper, I could live with.
And if the truth means
I can still put on
my Open Mic tonight,
I'm all about it.
(Beep!)
What's this?
- I've got hidden cameras
around town square that take
photos every few minutes.
- How silly of me.
What normal 13 year old
doesn't have that?
But still, why?
- It's for an art project.
I want to show how the events
of our lives are insignificant
and the world around us
is the only constant.
- Wow! That's
unexpectedly deep.
(chuckling)
- Nah, I'm just kidding.
I just think
that people look funny when
they're ogling a giant cucumber.
- Yeah, you see,
that sounds more like you.
- OK, fine.
I want to show what people look
like when they're not posing
for a picture. 'Cause that's
who they really are,
not the polished version
they present themselves to be.
So I figured the only way to do
that was with hidden cameras.
- OK, so this is the night
the cucumber was destroyed?
- Yeah.
- Alright, can we go
to the times of the Open Mic?
Between 8 and 9.
- Any other requests?
A Danish perhaps?
♪♪♪♪♪♪
(laptop beeping)
- The bull did it.
The bull trampled the cucumber.
Wait. If you knew you had
this footage yesterday,
why didn't you tell me?
- You didn't ask.
- AAAH!
- But how did Walter
get out of his pen?
I mean, are you sure it was him
that trampled the cucumber?
- That's what the photo shows.
- Hmmm I may be
remembering something.
That night
I couldn't sleep,
so I, um
I might have gotten up
and binge watched
a whole bunch of episodes
of that Korean drama.
- Without me?! Andrea!
- I know, babe. I'm sorry.
- What does this have
to do with Walter?!
Sorry, I just don't
have a lot of time
to save the Open Mic.
- Uh, yeah,
so I heard a commotion,
so I came out to see.
They must have just put
Walter back in his pen by then.
- Did you get
a good look at them?
- Not really.
They were walking away.
- Do you remember anything
about them? How they dressed?
- He had a baseball cap
and jeans.
And red shoes.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
Kind of like that.
- Why'd you run off?
You won.
- No, I didn't, you let me win.
There's a difference.
- The guys don't need
to know that.
- Don't do me any favours.
- What is your problem?
Are you mad that you would have
been beaten by a girl?
'Cause you gotta get over that.
- It's not about being beaten
by a girl!
It's about a fair fight. Sure,
you've always been stronger--
- Aha! So you admit it!
I mean, yes, continue.
- But I've been
working out,
lifting weights and stuff.
- Yeah. You can really tell.
- Anyway,
I'm not too sure
you're the stronger one anymore.
I just want a fair fight
to prove it.
- So what?
You want a rematch?
- Yes, but this time
don't hold back.
- It's too bad that the farmers
were a dead end.
But you know what?
If you try interrogating
every single person in the town,
it would take forever, so
I don't know.
(indistinct song playing)
What's next, Nancy Drew?
- I'm just trying
to figure that out now.
- Whoa!
- Oh, my gosh! Oh, I'm so sorry!
There's a rag behind
the counter, do you mind
grabbing it?
- Sure.
(indistinct song playing)
(indistinct conversations)
What are you doing?
- Where were you the night
the cucumber was destroyed?
- I don't know.
What does it matter?
- If it doesn't matter,
unlock your phone
and let me check
your location services data.
- Wait, do you think
I did this?
- I don't know.
The farmers said that they saw
someone at Walter's pen
after he got loose.
Someone wearing red shoes,
jeans and a baseball cap.
Sound familiar?
- Yep.
You caught me. I let
the bull out of the pen
and let him destroy
that precious, little cucumber.
And then, I brought him
right back to the farm.
And I would've gotten away
with it too, if it wasn't
for you meddling kids, like
Seriously? Is this a joke?
- Does it look like I'm joking?!
- Because I've been helping you
all day, which is exactly what
a guilty person would be doing.
- I don't know! You burned down
a barn then disappeared
for a year!
I don't know
what you're capable of!
- You're right. You don't.
- Unlock your phone.
Let me check
your location data.
(sighing)
- If you think I'm guilty
then it must be true.
- Are you for real?
- Sure.
I did it.
I destroyed
the cucumber.
- You acted like
you actually cared.
You lied to my face!
Why should I ever believe
anything you say?
- ♪Ooooooooh ♪♪
(Holly sobbing)
♪Ooh ooh oooooh ♪♪
(dramatic marimba music)
- Is it just me
or does she seem a little off?
- What do you expect?
Holly's always had
a soft spot for Tyler,
and he abused that.
- Oh, he's a Flaherty, they
think they can get away
with anything.
- You can stop whispering.
I know Tyler played me
like a fiddle.
- It's happened
to the best of us, my dear.
No reason to feel humiliated.
- I'm not.
- If it's any consolation,
the entire town is probably
going to hate him forever.
If it was a hundred years ago,
they'd be pelting him in the
stocks with rotten vegetables.
- He made a mistake. Shouldn't
we go a little easy on him?
- I'm gonna go check
to make sure the amplifier
is set up for the next act.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- What the heck is that?
- Hey, now give me your phone.
I need to make sure
the amplifier is set up right.
- Knock yourself out.

- Yo!

- (Amy): Is that Tyler Flaherty?
(people laughing and cheering)
- (man): That's great!
- Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Hahaha! Haha!

(inaudible talking)
- (young man): No way!
That's totally Tyler Flaherty!
(young man laughing)
- Tyler's innocent.
I guess you never really know
who you can trust.
Finding that out
can be surprising.
Sometimes that's good.
Sometimes.
