Ride (2016) s01e07 Episode Script

1 KIT: There's nothing you could say.
WILL: You can't know that! Give me a chance.
KIT: I already heard what you said.
WILL: It wasn't supposed to- I didn't mean- KIT: Clearly! WILL: Kit stop! Please, it was an accident! KIT:Oh, so you accidentally stole every other house's guy.
No, I guess not.
So the accident part is when you accidentally hid them in an incredibly dangerous place with the horses.
I know! It was a really big mistake.
Everyone makes mistakes.
I get that.
Yeah? You didn't make a mistake.
A mistake is forgetting your text book, or setting your hair on fire in eigth grade science.
It was Thursday, third period.
David Kempton laughed so hard he fell off his stool.
But the point is I didn't hurt another person.
Or an animal.
I didn't know that the roof would cave in.
I just thought - TK is afraid again.
Of everything.
And my dad's leg got broken.
They're all I've got.
I can't just pretend that this didn't happen.
Right.
See you around.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Will.
Everything okay? Just back off.
If you need to kick some walls, do it on your side of the room.
KIT: Well, I'm happy to report that I did in fact ride TK.
LADY C: Sitting on top of an animal to pose for a photograph does not a rider make.
Do you imagine that every child that's ever been sat on a pony at a birthday party is a rider? I actually trotted around the ring on him.
But according to the schedule, you should be way beyond that.
Where is the problem? TK and I are just kind of on our own sched.
Oh, congratulations! I didn't realize that you and TK had been appointed headmistress of this institution.
You will ride in the House Cup.
What? But that's a huge deal.
Everybody's already talking about it.
Elaine has made stat sheets.
I can't see how TK and I are going to be ready to compete.
Well, get ready.
This is an official show.
It will greatly impact you B-SEA standing.
British School Equestrian Association, and yes.
It is quite as important as it sounds.
If you fail, Rose Cottage will lose the Cup.
But if you can't meet this goal, TK will have to go.
It doesn't make sense to keep a horse who can't compete.
Have a lovely afternoon.
Yes, Lady Covington.
Don't forget your bag.
You might need it later, if you get hungry.
Oh yeah, for sure.
Wait.
How did you - Good afternoon.
I don't know how Lady C does it.
I waited until she excused herself, and she still somehow managed to bust me on making a doggy bag.
The scones are to die for.
It's scone.
Like gone.
Which you should be after stealing all that.
Don't eat it if you don't like it.
But you snooze you lose with the chocolate shortbread, lady.
I had to sit through a boring hour of "Fa-fa-fa-fa.
" I've earned it.
Tea with the headmistress is a privilege.
What did you talk about all alone with Lady C? I blabbed on about how to break your jeans down to the perfect shade of worn.
Eventually, Lady C fell into a deep sleep, so I drew a moustache on her face with marker and jumped out I'm kidding! We talked about what else? Me riding TK.
Is it wrong that I secretly wish you'd done the moustache thing? If it is wrong, I don't want to be right! Oh, and Elaine? I'm apparently competing in the Cup.
You've got to be joking.
You wish.
Toss me a tart.
You know, Kit, it would be rude not to invite Lady Covington to reciprocal tea.
You really must.
Oh, it's quite definitely the proper thing to do.
Okay, I'll text her.
Wait, you have Lady Covington's phone number? No.
But I have a sense of humour.
Or, you could send her a proper, handwritten invitation from Rose Cottage as a whole.
Okay.
Cool, yeah.
Let's do that.
PEACHES: I'm a titch confused.
Why are you helping Kit? I've got goals, and I deserve access.
Why isn't Lady Covington taking a special interest in me and my riding? How do you want me to answer that? If Kit gets special treatment, I'm going to use it as an opportunity.
JOSH: You seen Will? Not today.
He was up and out the door before morning bells.
Dude, he just confessed to the Guy crime thing.
He went right to Lady C and faced her, like right in her face, dude.
He totally told her.
To her face.
Why would he do that? We said we'd all take responsibility.
It's like she controlled his thoughts.
She's like twelve evil masterminds all rolled up into one terrifying lady He must have gotten caught somehow.
He got a ton of extra duties.
Oh! I bet I know why he confessed.
Dude, is your room like twice as big as the rest of them? (DOOR SLAMS) AV: Katarina! Great to see you.
Are you going for a ride? Prince and I would be happy to join you.
Oh, I wish.
I have another inspiring training session with Elaine.
Perhaps you could ask Lady Covington if I could step in for Elaine.
You think she'd go for that? WILL: Not a chance.
He may be right.
But that doesn't mean you and I can't go for a ride some time.
WILL: Not without a chaperone.
That sounds great, but right now I gotta go.
Let's be sure we arrange our ride together.
Soon.
(HORSE WHINNIES) KIT: Steady and easy.
ELAINE: Keep this gate even.
KIT: Ride the corner.
ELAINE: Your body stays straight as he turns.
ELAINE:That was a reasonable attempt.
Whoa, reasonable from you? That's like a triple A plus.
Do not lean.
But do not be inflexible, either.
That's an interesting note, coming from you.
What does that mean? I'm, I'm flexible.
Good.
Because I'm really excited about this brainstorm I had for the Lady C tea.
I'm hoping you'll be on board with it.
I want to throw it back home style.
So the cooks ordering beef for the sliders, and a ton of lemons for the Okay, look.
You're going to have to stop speaking gibberish if we're going to communicate.
Mini hamburgers, and lemonade mixed with iced tea.
I want to show Lady C that tea doesn't have to be stuffy.
Lady Covington's tea with Rose Cottage is not going to be a hoedown.
Beef burgers? Cold drinks? What next, a banana split? That's a great idea! No! No, it's a terrible idea.
Clotted cream, finger sandwiches, and hot tea.
That is a proper English tea.
That is what one serves to a headmistress.
RUDY: Miss Sally.
MS.
WARRINGTON: Oh, hello.
Um, I thought I might just bring you a little treat.
I don't need anything, thanks.
Oh.
Right then.
Should I, uh; do you want me to; shall I? Just leave it there, please.
Do not bring me another one.
I'm not an invalid.
I can eat in the dining hall like everyone Message received.
Good day, Mr.
Bridges.
WILL: (EXHALES) That was a bit harsh.
You want to try the cake? Cause we both know it's going to taste WILL: She was trying to help.
Do I look like I need help? Honestly, a little bit.
Anyway, point is, I think she fancies you.
Yeah.
Or I don't know.
She just feels really bad about what happened.
Everybody does.
Got a note from Lady Covington telling me I'm not allowed to have you on horseback except in classes.
Yeah, apparently.
Want to talk about that? Getting all that punishment.
No.
Hey, Peaches.
What are you doing up so early? Did Elaine pour cold water on your head? Practically.
She set my alarm for me, and then totally hauled me out of bed because (GASP).
Um, nothing! Bye! ANYA: Can't I just be a look out? I'm shaking! Surely that's a bad quality in a spy.
Embrace the fear.
There! I knew it! Elaine's changed everything, including the time and place of the tea.
She's trying to cut us out.
Today at 4pm? We'll never make that! LADY COVINGTON: This afternoon.
No, I'm sorry.
I do believe I'm previously engaged.
I'll just check then.
Let me just check, then I'll give you a ring.
Alright? Oh dear.
What did I do with it? Oh, I thought that was I don't think I put Oh dear.
(LAUGHS) Oh yes.
Oh no.
Hello, yes.
I did just check my calendar, and I am engaged this afternoon.
Yes.
ANYA: (LAUGHS) I'm so sorry! I always get the giggles in the face of impending doom! So doesn't matter.
We got it.
Where did she find those shoes? Hideous! (LAUGHS) I thought I heard tittering.
Lady Covington.
After studying the weather patterns - It seems that rain is in the forecast.
We were wondering if you could meet in the dining hall? Will the time remain the same? Could we meet a little earlier? Three-thirty instead of four? I have a riding engagement scheduled at five, which I know you wouldn't want me to miss.
I'd be delighted.
Our pleasure.
So much delight in, in all the pleasure.
Off you go.
NAV: Sir, I wanted to ask if I could take another student out for a hack.
Katherine, actually.
Her riding has improved greatly.
I'm guessing she could take a break from Elaine.
Did you hear about Will's punishment? Poor kid's only allowed to ride in class.
Indefinitely.
You see, the thing is, son, you and I both know he didn't pull this off all by himself.
But he took responsibility for it.
He took the heat so the rest of you wouldn't have to.
Now, I would think that trying to help your buddy out might be your biggest concern at the moment.
ELAINE: Table cloths, napkins, tea! Spit-spot! KIT: This looks awesome! You're like a party planning army! (SIGHS) Oh what, are you just going to stomp up and down in your boots? Make sure the steps are as dirty as possible? You didn't do the crime yourself, so you shouldn't have to do the time yourself, either.
Yeah dude.
We totally would have went in with you to take responsibility.
I mean, I'm way glad I didn't have to, but thank you.
But we would have.
Listen.
I'm sorry about earlier.
In the barn.
Don't know what you're talking about.
Well, anyway.
All for one.
Did you know I make a mean burger? Oh, that's fascinating.
And what would be required to make It's really all in the seasoning.
Another thing you may not know is I get really grouchy when I'm hurt.
And then when people try to help me (EXPLOSION SOUND).
I don't like feeling helpless.
Ah.
Is that a cowboy thing? No, that's a jerk thing.
But I will tell you the cowboy way of making it up to a lady.
You make her a nice meal.
Fascinating.
And when would you typically offer a lady that sort of meal? KIT: Oh! Lady Covington, welcome.
What in the world? Your seat is right over there.
KIT: Welcome to our Canadian barbecue.
There's potato salad and sliders.
Perhaps they could slide right off my plate.
Yeah, and into your belly.
And this is my special tea to wash them down.
Ice tea, with a splash of lemonade.
Iced tea? How many times must I explain to you that you're not back home, but rather at an elite British institution that thrives on tradition? Tea is a very serious affair.
One expects certain things.
Hot tea, for example.
Scones, finger sandwiches.
Well, I thought you might say something like that.
So I do have some on stand by.
PB & J was my mom's favorite.
She made these for me on special occassions, and I thought today was special.
And please try the iced tea.
You might be pleasantly surprised.
Let's not get carried away.
ANYA: Say cheese! ELAINE: It's not like Lady Covington to be late.
You, go and check her office.
She won't get away with this.
ELAINE: I saw your quick pick.
How dare you try to sabotage my tea? You suggested that I invite Lady Covington to tea, and I did.
Where's the sabotage, Elaine? ELAINE: When you insisted on making this some kind of rodeo spectacle, I had no choice but to - Elaine, nice of you to join us.
Would you care for a slipper? Slider.
I've been asking a lot of you lately.
Tutoring Katherine, as well as all of your other responsibilities.
But the reason I've asked so much of you is that you are a model Covington student.
Thank you.
Even now, as we pretend to enjoy this abomination of a tea, can't you see how much this girl needs your help? I won't let you down.
I know.
Sir, I'm offering you the opportunity to totally make my day, you know? Cause uh, I smell home.
Here.
I've already had six.
Is that your first burger? Or is, you know, Friday burger night at the palace? You know, is it - I was just wondering is there, like you know, a dress code? You know, a burger tuxedo? Royal ketchup, you know.
Shh! Secret, remember? You promised.
You swore on your life.
I can't have people finding out that I'm - What? Okay.
We're just two kids eating burgers.
I don't know what you're getting all wound up about.
I was impressed with how you handled Ms.
Wiltshire.
I don't know what you mean.
Working around her scheme must have been challenging.
You handled it with surprising grace.
Even while serving slitheries? It's sliders.
And if you knew about it, why didn't you punish us? Sometimes one must let these things work themselves out.
Totes.
Well, as much as I appreciate experiencing your version of our great English classic, I'm afraid I do prefer the traditional manner.
How is next week? My office? Except this kind of tea is way more exciting.
Oh no! I didn't mean anything by that.
Your teas are totally fun, too.
I, I just didn't realize it was going to be a regular thing.
Sometimes you remind me - See you at tea.
Good day, Katherine.
NAV: Although noble, and a criminal mastermind, he did not act alone.
Your punishments are in your mailboxes.
They are? How did you - All for one, was it not? You're excused.
KIT: Dad? Dad! Where'd he go, boy? MS.
WARRINGTON: Thank you for inviting me to tea.
RUDY: I didn't invite you to tea.
I invited you to supper.
(LAUGHS) Tea is what we call this sort of casual evening meal.
Supper is quite formal.
Tea, in my world, is that dark, bitter liquid you people gulp down by the bucket.
How dare you, sir? You could be sent to the Tower of London for saying such a thing.
Do you know what used to happen to the They made them drink lots of tea? (LAUGHS) It's nothing so delicious as all that! (RUDY & SALLY'S VOICES IN THE BACKGROUND) You've got something on your face (LAUGHS).
What? (LAUGHS) RUDY: Well, how is it? SALLY: It's delicious, Mr.
Bridges.
You think you could start calling me Rudy? Yes, I think I could manage that.
(GIGGLES)
