Ride (2016) s01e13 Episode Script

1 KIT: I'm sorry! What did I say? Lady Covington, I don't understand! I have no idea where Westingate is.
I'm not an encyclopedia, nor am I your homework buddy.
If the information isn't available, perhaps it was never intended to be found.
But my mom wouldn't have lied.
So why would she say she's from a place that's not real? How would I possibly know the answer to that? Just drop it, Katherine, and go to bed.
DAISY: Hello, there! Hi! May I help you? Daisy Rooney.
From Dish Quarterly.
Oh! We weren't expecting you until morning.
How delightful! Soz to just pop in on you.
I wanted to poke around a bit.
You know, have a peek.
Could you manage a quick tour? That won't be possible.
She was just on her way to the dorms.
Curfew.
We could walk together.
I'm Kit.
That won't be necessary.
Ms.
Rooney, I would be delighted to give you a tour, and to share with you some of our famous Covington hospitality.
Come along.
We'll catch up tomorrow, yeah? I totally know about getting a dress down by a teacher.
I was an expert at it.
Still am.
Me too.
We'll compare notes.
OSH: Dudes, this tent's way too small for all your bad vibes.
Okay, but the doctor is in, and you know, Doctor Josh kind of feels like you guys are still fighting about Kit even when you're not fighting about Kit.
You know? I think it's noble to have feelings for a girl, but perhaps it's even more noble to have a teammate, and a friend.
Yeah well, the gentleman might be right.
Maybe it's time we called a bit of a truce? So is the Will-Nav bromance back on? Yeah, only if we find a different name for it.
Yes, let us.
What about the Nav-Will bromance? (LAUGHTER) Awesome! Let's celebrate by a little more Elaine torture? Yes! (LAUGHTER) Alright, hold up.
Okay, ready? Yeah.
Yeah.
This one's for the books, boys.
(LAUGHTER) (CAMERA CLICKS) (LAUGHTER) (CAMERA CLICKS) (LAUGHTER) WILL: Sweet dreams, Wiltshire! NAV: Are we actually going to sleep on the ground? I didn't come this direction For fear of some misconnection It was in me all along I was carried by the song You wouldn't believe where my heart goes It's who I want to be So ride, ride with me JOSH: She interviewed the Mud Slingers on their way back to London, on their tour bus.
She's a wicked writer.
I heard that she camped out all night just to get that interview.
Yeah, and then the Fox Five flew her out to California so she could write about their gig at the Bowl.
ELAINE: Ms.
Rooney's not here to interview us because we're rock stars.
Speak for yourself, Elaine.
(LAUGHS) Are you okay? Oh, yeah.
Totally.
Just thinking.
LADY C: May I have your attention, please? As some of you have been gossiping about, a reporter will be joining us for a few days to do an article on Covington.
Your best behaviour is expected.
LADY C: Yes.
I've been preparing for the interview.
I have information on Covington's history, on the early years, the underdog victory of 1987 - LADY C: Let us focus on the present, Elaine.
I would like us to share the word with potential students about what makes Covington exceptional today.
And what is our collective goal this year? UK Boarding School of the Year.
(GIGGLES) SALLY: Today we will hear your presentations.
I'm very excited to hear about all the fun things you've learned by diving into your family history.
So who would like to begin? Alright, Elaine, it looks as though you're our girl.
My grandad had six sisters, of which I've chosen to profile my Great Aunt Dottie.
She was a dressmaker of some renown.
Hi, everyone.
I'm Daisy.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I got carried away in the dining hall.
I maybe ate a thousand pastries.
Is that bad? (LAUGHTER) I love your place.
It's a bit like a castle, isn't it? That's what I said when I got here! Oh, hey! It's Kit! Yay! I'll sneak into the back.
Ms.
Rooney, I love your work.
I stayed up all night getting acquainted.
I'm a huge fan.
Why thank you! Pretend I'm not here.
Really.
I just want to sink into the background and observe.
Thank you.
There's a seat.
I'll conduct one on one interviews over the next couple of days, and we'll see how it all shakes out, right? SALLY: Now back to Elaine.
Oh! Oh! Soz! I am such a pain, aren't I? ELAINE: So Great Aunt Dottie's gowns have been seen in society for decades.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) Should I just hold? Should I just start from the top? Will, Lady Covington would like to see you in the office.
Mr.
Palmerston.
Yes, mum.
I was speaking to your son.
Mr.
Palmerston, the younger.
You have managed to fall behind in every single subject.
He's got an A in equestrian.
Without academic excellence - MR.
PALMERSTON: We will do whatever it takes to compensate for Will's academic weaknesses.
RUDY: He's not a bad kid.
And he's our best rider.
Mr.
Bridges, you are here as William's advisor.
I will ask you if your advice is required.
MR.
PALMERSTON: There must be a solution.
This is the best place for him.
There have also been incidents where Will's behaviour has been less than exemplary.
MR.
PALMERSTON: We have to get this sorted.
I can't have him at home.
I just can't.
Not now.
You don't want to live with the baby.
Tanya's expecting another.
We told you you couldn't muck everything up again.
Do you know how much it cost me last time you pulled this nonsense? LADY C: A letter of probation will be issued immediately.
William may stay through the term exams, but we will need to see a substantial improvement or we will have to expel him.
And the Maharajah in that generation insisted on sleeping in the treehouse.
He didn't step foot inside that palace.
So I come from a long line of rebels.
Brave, little rebels.
Okay, so the treehouse was pretty lavish.
I'm not going to lie.
NAV: It is said that my grandfather's grandfather took down and entire army with nothing but a pocket knife.
JOSH: My great grandparents were maple syrup farmers.
Oh, and if anybody's going to make a joke about that, I'm just going to sic Nav's grandfather on them.
So wow.
Hard acts to follow.
I really wanted to dive into my mom's side of the family, but it was really weird.
The town she said she was from, Westingate, it doesn't actually exist, and it was a total dead end.
But I found out that my dad comes by his cowboy-ness quite honestly, because the Bridges are related to Billy The Kid.
Billy the Kit? Is that who they named you after? Billy the Kid.
Guys, come on! No? Only one of the wildest outlaws of the Wild West.
William H.
Bonney was his real name, and he raced horses, he stole horses, and then he had his own horse stolen from him.
And listen, do I ever feel for old Billy on that one.
I mean TK, even though he's a horse, he belongs on my family tree.
He is family.
He totally got me.
And now he's gone.
He was just a really special horse, you know? And maybe these feelings are because I come from a long line of horse people.
Will, I'm so sorry you missed the presentations.
Yeah.
Shall we schedule you for tomorrow? There are still - Mine's not done.
It's not? I didn't have time.
I live to help other students.
I mean, this term has been challenging in terms of work load, but I manage.
And I'm assigned to train Kit, who insists on riding this crazy horse.
Okay.
Thanks a bunch.
I'm going to grab something to eat.
But we haven't talked about my goals and ambitions yet.
Oh, we have loads of time.
DAISY: Mind if I join you? I have to say you totally remind me of myself.
When I was thirteen my parents moved to Paris and chucked me into boarding school.
Imagine how I stuck out.
Oh, I feel you.
There's royalty here, diplomats kids, heirs to massive fortunes, and then there's me.
Elaine seems like a good friend.
She's the best rider in the school.
That's why she's my tutor.
If by tutor you mean drill sergeant.
Total type A.
A bit of a monster then? A bit.
(LAUGHS) She doesn't seem like a big fan of TK.
TK was just the best horse.
He and I turned dangerous and unpredictable into quirky and particular.
Dish! Oh, it's nothing.
You know who I looked at like that? Danny McCabe.
Ooh! Total rugby fanatic.
He had this crazy mop of blond curls that flopped into his eyes.
(LAUGHS) Dreamy! Or is it that one? Spill, Kit! Oh, come on! I was just looking at the pastries.
Mm-hmm? Oh, is this seat empty? Nice ribbons, Elaine.
Oh, these! These are just some awards I won last year.
And why are you carrying them around? (LAUGHTER) LEO: I will tell you where the horse is.
But only if I get Josh back as my roommate.
Are you sure this information is correct? To the best of my knowledge.
I told you, it pays to have famous friends.
People talk.
Do you really like Josh that much? I personally find him rather annoying.
No, I love him! Did you know he can bake? But it's mainly because I can't stand another second of Will's titanic mess.
You have got to rescue me.
Thanks to William, I am living on Mount Trash.
Hand it over.
Only if we have a deal.
We have a deal.
KIT: He's a great rider.
Fearless.
The kind of guy who belongs with the horses.
And the other one? The smooth one? There are lots of sophisticated boys here from all over the world.
Totally crush-worthy.
He seems really nice, too.
And smart.
And charming.
(GIGGLES) Oh! Wow! This bedroom is fab! Way better than my boarding school.
We were jammed in six to a bedroom.
(LAUGHTER) Now that we're here, do we start the slumber party? Let's make it interesting.
Truth or dare? Which boy does your heart really belong to? I'm dying to know! So not fair! Well, tell me anyway! TK.
I really love him.
Call me a cheeseball, but we conquered our fears together, and that leaves you bonded for life, you know? Hey, wait! Do you have any ways we might be able to find TK? I could totally look into it.
But how did you lose him? Well, he and I basically embarrassed Lady C by not being perfect, so she sent him away.
She didn't! She did! It's just the worst! It's all rules, all the time.
Young lady, it has come to my attention that you had corn puffs for breakfast, when the rules strictly state that Wednesday is an oatmeal day.
(LAUGHS) Katherine Bridges, detention for life.
(LAUGHS) I can't believe she sent TK away.
I'm going to find him.
And bring him back.
Print that, would you? ANYA: Kit! Curfew? What? No, it's not.
Not until - Curfew.
You're a trip, Kit.
Shall we chat more tomorrow? I would love that! Night night! So much gossip! Please tell me you said the three magic words.
Abracadabra, ta-da, and hocus pocus? Off the record.
You do realize she can print everything you just said, and she probably will.
Daisy wouldn't do that.
You learn it in princess training.
Don't tell the media anything you don't want to see on a billboard.
RUDY: So the reporter was fun? She had a million hilarious stories about the bands that she'd interviewed.
But I may have pulled a bit of a Kit.
What, did you say something that wasn't quite true? I mostly talked about TK.
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I hope so.
So what's up? Why'd you ask me to meet you before class? I wanted to give you something.
I saw your presentation yesterday.
I can tell it's been bugging you.
Before we moved, I put a few of your mom's things together, just in case either of us got to missing her too much.
It just doesn't make any sense.
When I was little, we invented this whole town made out of old cans and boxes.
Remember? And we called it Westingate because that's where she came from.
You're right.
I remember that.
What does it mean? I don't know.
I just know that her parents died when she was seventeen, and she moved to the States.
She never wanted to talk about it more than that.
I thought you love birds told each other everything.
Except that.
She always said it made her too sad to think about.
I didn't want to push her.
Maybe this will help you figure some things out.
NAV: Le jeux sont fait.
The game is up.
You simply must move out of my room now.
No way, dude.
Absolutely not, okay.
That's never gonna happen.
Look, name your price for the room.
I will entertain all offers until noon.
After that, you leave me no choice but to employ the "too bad" clause.
What's that? What? Yeah, here we go.
There you go.
KIT: Oh, Daisy! Hi! I'm so glad I ran into you.
Oh, well, it's nice to see you, too.
Yeah.
So um, yesterday I, well, I kind of have a big mouth, and I said all sorts of things, but I kind of forgot the three most important words.
I love crisps? No, wait.
He's so cute.
Off the record.
Don't worry.
I don't even know what the main focus of the story is yet, or who it's going to be about.
And I was thinking, if I do write about TK, it could be a really big help in finding him.
That would be awesome.
Thank you! Phew! Sometimes I shoot my mouth off, and - Don't give it another thought.
What's happening here? Oh, check this out.
I told you that stuff about my mom.
My dad gave me this box of all her old things.
I thought it might help solve the mystery.
Oh, crazy coincidence! I know the bass player from Box of Kittens, Rupert Jackson.
He was one of my first ever interviews, and we kept in touch.
Really? Yeah.
Do you think your mom was in the music scene? She knew her music.
She was only in London for a little bit before she moved overseas.
I could ask him if you like.
Can't hurt.
I'll take a snap.
You look like her.
You think so? I'd like that.
I'll text it to Rupert and see if he recognizes her from the old Box of Kittens days.
You would do that for me? Anything for a friend.
WILL: It's just boring.
And it's irrelevant.
Like, when am I going to actually need maths in the real world? My dad would say I need it so I don't end up living in some alley somewhere.
But like he and the dread Tanya even care, as long as it's not their alley.
Oh no! I am so sorry.
I was trying to make a graceful exit, and give you some space, but I'm me, so grace isn't exactly my go to.
Knocking a bunch of shovels over? That is totally my specialty.
It helps, though, doesn't it? Talking to them.
I really miss TK.
Just being near his stall sometimes helps.
That's what I was doing.
I swear.
I wasn't eavesdropping.
They're great listeners.
And so am I, actually.
So if you want to talk - Oh, no, I don't know.
I know.
I'm no Wayne.
(LAUGHS) So you got to see your dad today? Yeah, for fifteen minutes.
He drove for two hours here just to make me feel awful.
Just for fifteen minutes? Yeah, Lady Covington wanted to meet him.
So she spoke through most of the fifteen minutes anyway.
That sounds like her.
Mm-hmm.
It's too bad he didn't get to stay to hear your family tree project.
Who did you do? Him.
He used to be my favourite person.
(CELL PHONES VIBRATE) (HORSE WHINNIES) Saved.
Just before venturing into potentially awkward territory, full of the feels.
Come on, let's go.
Wait for it.
What is this? This, my friend, is the too bad clause, as in too bad you didn't listen, because I would have offered myriad perks had you simply moved out as requested.
Instead, welcome to your new accommodations! You can't do this.
Who put you in charge? Of all people! Come on, dude! A bet's a bet, right? This is a study area, not a personal playground.
Besides, you're all completely daft.
What's she talking about? For health and safety reasons, no student is to leave their assigned room.
There are to be no exceptions.
Covington rule book, page forty-six, regulation 502A.
JOSH: Okay, well can I at least get some help? Thank you.
Hey, are you writing an article? Despite my best efforts, Ms.
Rooney didn't seem to find me as interesting as she did Kit.
You don't have to be in an article to be interesting.
That's easy for you to say.
It's true.
I'm trying to get my portfolio together for my Oxford application.
Being featured in an article would have really helped.
And yet You've got plenty to offer as you are.
Hey.
Thanks, Will.
Night, Wiltshire.
ANYA: Maybe your mom traveled all around going to music festivals.
She liked to take pictures.
Maybe she was a photographer for some huge band or something.
Maybe she was in the band! (KNOCK ON DOOR) I've just come to say bye.
You, my darling, have been so helpful.
Good! Great! Okay, then! I'm off.
Ta! Wait, Daisy! Did you find out anything? About? The stuff you promised to look into for me.
My mom, my horse.
Anything? I really need this information because I can't find out anything about either of them.
Right.
Well, Rupert didn't know your mom at all, and I'll try and work the horse thing into the article.
Okay.
You promised.
Oh, no, love! I just promised to try.
Ta then.
I'm sorry.
I know you were counting on that.
I just don't get it.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
I thought this would bring me closer to my mom, but now I feel father away from her than ever.
(SIGHS)
