Switched at Birth s03e01 Episode Script

Previously on Switched at Birth Your protest has forced the school board - to reconsider closing Carlton, - ____ but there will be some changes.
We all remember what it was like to be so sure that the way we felt would never change.
We're gonna be helping communities in Peru for six months.
Are you Barbara Salz? Della Porta is your restaurant, right? - You and I could be competitors.
- Unless we team up.
- It's your money.
It's your business.
- It's our money.
- Those aren't mine.
- How could you sleep with someone else? Bay and I were a summer thing.
Sex is a big deal, and you don't just have it with someone else because you're being sent overseas.
- You didn't do it.
- You can't tell her.
Politics can be a dirty business.
I mean, People end up doing things that can ruin lives.
So you actually thought you could get away with blackmailing a senator? - How bad is it? - Sent it.
She used a phone to transmit a threat.
That is a felony.
That could mean jail time.
I never saw this coming.
Not from you.
You deserve to be here.
Time to wake up.
- You okay? - Yeah.
First day of senior year.
First day of community service, too.
You nervous? Actually, I'm glad it's here.
You ready for a fresh start, huh? Hey, aren't you excited? There's gonna be all these new kids at Carlton.
Maybe you'll make some new friends.
Yeah, 'cause deaf kids are always so welcoming to new hearing kids.
- Morning.
You hungry? - A little.
- I'll take a muffin.
- Here.
John, hurry! Time for the photo! I'm here.
I'm here.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
I was thinking about going for a run later, if you want to join.
Would that before or after your probation? All right, get together, you guys.
Here's the sign.
- Take two.
- First one of these I'm not in.
And the last one for all of us.
Here we go.
Ready? There we go.
Hey, guys, out of O.
J.
Why don't you stock your own fridge, Mr.
Married Man? Okay, that's my cue to disappear.
I got a phone date with Nikki in a few minutes anyway.
Bay, have you talked to Ty? How's he doing? Oh, he's great.
Yeah, he's off at some secret location training, but he's doing good.
Very focused.
We gotta go.
Oh, me too.
Thanks for the muffin.
- Later, gators.
- Bye.
I can't believe they're gonna be gone so soon.
Honey, come on, they're growing up.
Yeah, well, as soon as the girls go off to college, Regina's gonna move in with angelo.
And Adrianna's gonna go back to Puerto Rico and the whole family is just gonna be poof.
Come on, the world's gonna be our oyster.
It's not like you're never gonna see 'em again.
Sweetie, you're being silly.
See you tonight.
____ Look, I shouldn't have come over the other night.
I'm sorry.
____ I can't keep coming to you crying about other guys.
It's not cool.
____ Did you tell Daphne about what happened between me and Ty? Because I really wanna keep the whole thing ____ Daphne and Regina are friends of his, and I don't think he'd appreciate me, like, telling the whole world about his sex life.
____ - Okay, you know what? - ____ Next year I'm gonna be in art school in New York and this whole place will be a million miles away.
____ ____ ____ ____ Because clearly, they know something we don't.
Please, everybody, we've got a lot to cover today.
So take your seat.
Everyone, please.
I'd like to go over the syllabus.
I'd like to discuss my expectations of you.
Will you please just all stop talking and let her start class? Excuse me, I'm having a conversation here.
Yeah, sorry to interrupt your call.
Are you in charge? I don't think so.
Everyone just calm down, please.
Miss Sharee.
You can call me that.
Miss Sharee.
Thank you.
Now I'd like to start this morning by reading aloud from our first book "Great Expectations.
" Just don't make me listen to her read.
Why not, Sharee? She probably reads better than you.
Read this! Ladies, stop that! All right, stop it.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Stop that! Stop that! Stop it! Go to the office, both of you! Now! Sit down, everyone, sit down.
Sit down.
Go.
It's the typical disrespect the arts gets, - as if a monkey could teach it.
- ____ No, but he is the orchestra teacher.
He's practically having us do a connect-the-dots worksheet.
____ I don't have a boyfriend.
I don't belong to any clubs.
The only thing I was looking forward to about coming back here was art.
____ ____ "Senior elective permission slip.
" ____ ____ Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you! Thank you.
I'm gonna be late to work.
I can't believe you're making me wait a whole year.
Not for sex, just to live together.
But I'm lonely.
What what what is that? That's Leo and Victor.
- You better zip up.
- Stay.
I have a video chat with Abby.
- I want you to get to know her.
- I can't.
She's your daughter.
And I have to go.
Go.
Thank you so much for seeing me on such short notice.
My husband doesn't believe in psychiatry so I didn't tell him I was coming in.
So what's going on? Well, our 19-year-old son just got married against our wishes.
Our daughters are leaving for college in just a few months.
And my husband is getting hell from his colleagues for something he had nothing to do with.
- What about you? - Me? I'm used to change.
But ever since I found out about the switch, it's just been one thing after another.
And I'm busy all the time with my husband's things and my kids, but I just don't feel excited about anything.
Sometimes I feel, I don't know how to explain it.
Untethered? Like I'm watching myself float away.
I'd like to start you on 50 mg a day.
Call me in about six weeks.
So that's it? Just take these and I'll feel better? You might.
A lot of these things are chemical.
Okay.
Good.
That seems easy.
____ ____ ____ Hi.
I just wanted to say "peace.
" I'm sure it's weird for you to be at a school with a bunch of deaf kids, but we're just like everyone else.
You just have to face us and enunciate.
And a lot of us are happy you guys are here, 'cause for a while there, it looked like we were gonna be split up and sent to a bunch of different schools.
Then me and a bunch of other kids organized this, like, protest, and so anyway the school board decided to keep Carlton open and send in a bunch of hearing kids.
- And so - And so what you're trying to say is me waking up at 6:00 A.
M.
, sitting on a bus for 45 minutes, splitting up from my friends because my school closed, is because of you? Now I know who to thank for being stuck in a school full of dumbasses.
We're not dumb.
We're deaf.
I don't mean you.
I mean us.
I don't understand.
This is the dumping ground for all the screw-ups and losers that none of the other schools wanted.
Congratulations on your protest.
Good job there.
Art is in the eye of the beholder, true or false? - True.
- If it's true, what the hell are you doing here? Art is subjective.
But there are certain things you can learn so you won't sound like an ignoramus the rest of your life.
Welcome to theories of modern art.
- And you're late.
- I'm sorry.
I lost my pledge pin.
- I had to do 50 push-ups.
- Ah.
Of course.
- Hazing season.
- Omega psi! - And then bowling? - No, ma'am.
If you lose your pledge pin, they make you carry around a brick.
But if you're caught without that brick, you gotta carry the bowling ball.
And if you lose that? A live chicken.
I assume you're Miles Conroy.
- Tank.
- Tank.
I'm Professor Ledarsky.
As long as you participate, you can eat a live chicken in class.
I don't care.
All right! That's my kind of gal.
What? Oh, perfect.
Just great.
Did I say you could watch my legs? - Aren't they amazing? - Incredible.
- Are you a teacher here? - Me? No, I just started a couple weeks ago.
See? How about you? Oh, I was just picking up a prescription down the street.
Oh, come on, join.
We can be tap buddies.
You got the legs for it.
- No.
- Honey, those things are fierce.
I did some cheerleading in high school.
- Me, too.
- Really? There was nothing as fun as that, was there? You know what? Tap is like cheerleading for adults.
R-o-w-d-y! Come on.
- What happened? - I guess I ran over something.
No, that was slashed.
- Really? - Yeah.
Who would do that? What the hell is going on around here? I'm really sorry to call you, but Emmett already left for work, - and Bay is at this art class.
- The tow truck's on its way.
It'll be here in about an hour.
John.
The thing is I have to be at the clinic to start my community service in, like, 20 minutes.
Get in.
And shuffle step, shuffle step.
Let's shuffle off to buffalo.
Step, shuffle, step.
Step, shuffle, tap.
- You're a ringer.
- I used to do a little ballet.
I did a little ballet dancer.
His name was Trevor.
Turn! - Who's talking? - She was.
Okay, so I'll see you next week.
Hi.
My name is Daphne Vasquez.
I'm here for community service.
I'm supposed to ask for Jorge.
- I'm Jorge.
- Hi.
Ok, let me get you started with some forms in the back.
- Sorry again for being late.
Somebody slashed my tires.
- Late? What time are you supposed to be here? - 3:30.
- It's 3:49.
You were sent by the court? What do you think this is, a sorority party? A sorry party? I'm deaf and sometimes I have trouble reading Your probation officer assigned you to this clinic as a term of your probation.
That means if you neglect to take this seriously, you can and will go back to court and will be thrown in juvenile hall.
- Do I make myself clear? - Absolutely.
Yes.
You kids, you come in here thinking this is some kind of joke? - Dr.
J.
- What? I'm sorry, Campbell.
I just wanted to talk to you about that patient in room 5.
She was asking about getting a ride back here for next week.
I just wanted to know the procedure on that.
I'll talk to her.
- Okay, so - Oh, my God.
That was the director of the clinic and one of our volunteers.
If you're still breathing, I can give you the rest of the tour.
I've been trying to convert everything to pounds.
Plus the metric system and the shoe sizes, and the time difference.
You're right.
You're right.
I'm sure I'll be fine.
Okay, talk to you later.
Okay, so what's going on? You remember the trade show that I went to in Philly? - When I was there, I met - you told me.
Conrad, the photographer, who you met at the Indian restaurant.
I'm moving to London.
Believe me.
My mom, my sister, all my girlfriends, are all telling me that I'm moving way too fast, but I just know if I don't try it, really try it, I'll always wonder.
- I'm happy for you.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm gonna sell this place.
Oh.
I have loved having you.
You're a great asset.
I will give you an amazing reference.
This is exciting news.
- I'm gonna get this.
- Okay.
Hi Now, cubism, I've always said, is best understood under the influence of some sort of mind-altering - ma'am.
- Yes.
Oh, wow we went way over.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Listen, you have an assignment.
I want you to draw a portrait of the person next to you on your left.
That's not gonna work.
Okay, you two, you two and you two.
You get it.
This isn't just about lines and shapes.
I want you to study the unique qualities in your partner and bring out their essence.
Okay, enough.
Go.
Fly away.
You're free.
Hi.
I'm Bay.
- Like what horses do? - Wolves, actually.
Wolves bay at the moon.
It's better than quack.
You could've been named quack.
- That is true.
- Or yap.
Or maw.
Maw.
- Could've been a lot worse.
- Yeah.
So I could do tomorrow evening.
Like around 8:00.
Maybe we can meet at a cafe.
Yeah, I'm on pledge duty.
So can't leave the house.
- That's gonna be a problem.
- No, you can come to me.
I'm supposed to just show up at a fraternity house alone at night.
Dude, I'm just gonna be studying in the commons room, okay? - We're not all cavemen.
- Okay, fine.
- I can come.
- Omega Psi! - I get that.
- Bye.
Bye! Bye! Classic.
All right.
So we serve about 300 people a day.
We do pre-natal care, eye exams, dental services, wellness center.
Darius.
Good guy to know.
Dr.
Weiss, ophthalmologist.
- Am I going too fast? - No, I'm good.
You sure? First time here can be a little bit hectic.
Yeah, I spent a lot of time in free clinics growing up.
- How is that? - I grew up in East Riverside.
No kidding.
What part? - ¿Habla español? - I do.
Pero no leo labios en español muy bien.
Wow, that accent was painful.
I've been told.
I'm deaf so the nuances sort of elude me.
Okay, English it is.
Look, I'll be your direct supervisor.
Check in with me when you get here, check in when you're done.
- Are you a doctor? - Hell, no.
Nurse practitioner.
But I'm pretty much the general guy in charge here.
I'll get you started on the showers.
- Showers? - For the homeless.
- We also give out toiletry bags, - There's no socks.
- There used to be socks.
- Yeah, we stopped handing those out.
I've have an extra pair in my backpack.
- Ew eww.
- No, they're clean.
I can get them, if you want.
- Yeah, okay.
- A "thank you" works, too.
Thank you.
Go.
Shower.
She'll have them ready when you're done.
Okay, look you gotta be careful, all right? You keep doing that, you'll probably end up naked by the end of the day.
At least I did something right today.
Daphne texted that there was a fight.
All these new kids are what, juvenile delinquents? Tire was slashed the first day back at school.
____ - No, wait a second.
- Will you give her a chance to explain the situation I am trying to.
She is signing too fast.
Okay.
Three schools in the district were under-performing, so they had to be closed.
The kids had to be redistributed to other schools.
Carlton, because it's under-populated, got a bunch of these students.
Okay.
Now the murky part is why Carlton got all the discipline problems and underachievers.
I'm pulling the girls and I'm putting them back at Buckner.
Buckner doesn't have the resources for Daphne.
You know that.
- We'll get her an interpreter.
- She doesn't want someone following her around all day.
I think Bay would rather see pigs fly than go back there.
What do you want me to do? ____ - She wants us to all - I got it.
Damn it.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I'm Campbell.
- Daphne.
I just missed my bus.
Would you like a ride? Like on your lap? Like in my Camaro.
Oh, right.
Of course.
So this is a dumb question, but how do you drive it? Hand controls.
This bar here is connected to the gas and the brake.
Cool.
You're a volunteer, too, right? Are you part of the program? Are you asking am I a convicted felon, like you? Nah.
Just a pre-med student.
Sophomore.
Sounds like you looked me up after Dr.
Jackass yelled at me.
Dr.
J, he's actually not a bad guy.
- He's seen me through nine lives.
- How's that? Well, before this last crash, I broke my collarbone, my wrist, ruptured spleen and three concussions.
Motorcycles? ATVs? Snowboarding.
You ever been? And now I'm not sure I want to.
It's a blast.
As long as you don't do anything crazy like me, you'll be fine.
Then again, the crazy stuff was the best part.
All set? Yeah, of course, thank you.
- So you're deaf.
- Yeah.
Look at us.
A gimp and a deaf girl.
That sounds like the start of a really bad joke.
Hey, Ella, you ok? She's homeless, that girl? Yeah, she got kicked out of her house.
- For what? - Not sure.
But you'll see that a lot around here.
Parents throw their kids out all the time for all kinds of reasons.
Damn.
- Hey.
- How was the big pow wow at Melody's house? I was just trying to keep your dad from having another heart attack.
How are you feeling about school? You know what? I left Buckner, I fought to keep Carlton deaf.
I don't have any hate school energy left in me.
So I'm just gonna dig in and hold on till graduation.
Fair enough.
I, Um I wanted to ask you something.
About Ty.
You broke up.
Who told you that? No one.
What happened? I don't know.
We just decided to.
He's there.
I'm here.
It's so not a big deal.
It is a big deal.
He was your first.
Honestly, I am fine.
Okay.
I know when to let up.
In fact, I've I gotta go start looking for a new job.
Wait.
What? My boss just told me that she is selling the business and moving to London.
No.
Who's gonna buy the business? Probably someone who doesn't want me there.
I finally found something that I am good at, - a place I thought I could stay for a while and - Why don't you buy it? - Right.
- No, I'm serious.
Angelo would buy it for you.
Or you could buy it with your own money.
Lawsuit, big settlement, marriage, community property.
Regina, you ran your own business out of your house for years successfully.
You have millions of ideas.
I'm sure that you could do this.
Huh.
Huh.
Just remember, it was my idea.
Yeah.
Hey, I heard about your tire.
How'd you get home? I got a ride from another volunteer.
I didn't want to bother anyone to drive all the way out there and pick me up.
I'm not doing anything special.
So how'd it go at the clinic? Four hours down, 96 to go.
I can't believe that my sister has a probation officer.
John hates me.
What? I could do a thousand hours, and he would never forgive me.
That is not true.
Kids get thrown out of their houses all the time.
Did you know that? John is not gonna throw you out.
He and I just met not even two years ago.
It doesn't matter.
He is your dad.
Yeah, believe me, dads walk out.
What I did was a huge screw-up.
I know that.
I just feel like everything we had has just vanished.
You guys had a really good relationship before, right? Like when he coached your basketball team.
You guys won the tournament.
That was a million years ago.
Maybe you need to find a way to remind him of that.
____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ - ____ - ____ ____ ____ What you shaking your head at me for? - I didn't.
- Yeah, you did.
What? Somebody slashed my tire yesterday.
You think I did that? How would I even know what kind of car you got? I'd have to be some kind of magician, wouldn't I? I'm sure you could find out.
Is that what you told deaf lady? - That I messed up your car? - No.
I bet.
So, Renzo, that sounds Italian.
I wish.
Mama's Filipino.
Daddy's Chinese.
And I'm in therapy.
Wait a minute.
It's my daughter.
She needs socks.
Yuck, kids.
Whoops, did I say that out loud? I don't know how you do it.
I mean, I know the human race is supposed to continue and everything, but damn if I'm gonna give up my wiggling Wednesdays or thumping Thursdays - for anybody.
- Your what? Wednesdays I go hula hooping.
I do.
Don't laugh.
It makes your waist teeny tiny.
And then on Thursdays, if the weather's right and we get enough folks out there, we do a drum circle.
Oh, there's one tomorrow.
You should come with me.
A drum circle? Yeah, some folks rock the tambourines.
Some other people chant.
It's like a total spiritual experience.
I'm telling you, you gotta try it.
It's even better than tap, 'cause there's alcohol.
I can't.
My husband has a charity event for a colleague.
Some rubber chicken dinner.
Can't you blow it off? - No.
- All righty, then.
Your loss.
Hello.
- Angelo Sorrento.
- Yes.
This is Christy Salz, Barbara's daughter.
I just got out of a meeting with the builder for the restaurant.
I don't know who came up with the budget for this thing.
- Wait, who is this? - This is Barbara's daughter.
I'll be taking over this project.
Why? What happened to Barbara? Have you seen the stove? And the bathrooms look like they're out of a bus station.
I mean, if you want a classy place, you need classy bathrooms.
Can you slow down a little? So I got kitchen equipment, wine inventory.
The budget's up to 1.
7 million, which honestly, is not that unreasonable.
- It'll be another 350k each.
- Are you kidding? Look, I'm happy to buy you out and find another partner if you don't see eye to eye with my choices.
I got it.
I got it.
But no more, okay? This is it.
See, I can't promise you that.
But you're in it this deep, you might as well see it through, right? All right, all right.
Great.
I will need your check by next Tuesday.
Take care.
Coming through! Bay, what up? B-B-B-Bay! Hello, there.
So where are we setting up? Nelson and the Walkstar.
- Go wipe down the urinal, pledge.
- Yes, sir.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Hi, so love a kegger as much as the next gal, but this is our first assignment.
Just grab some punch and chill out, okay? We'll get to it.
I'm working tonight.
You made it! Surprise! Mary Beth! I am so glad that you came.
Totally.
My dorm is like right there.
I can't stay long.
I'm meeting Travis there in ten minutes.
Oh.
So how are you? How's college? Spectacular.
Seriously.
There is a cereal bar in the cafeteria.
I'm taking a fencing class.
It's everything I hoped for.
- I cannot wait.
- How's everything else? It's good.
It's fine.
Have you talked to him? We've emailed a few times.
Did he ask about me? Uh Wow.
I don't think it means anything.
Ty's really busy, and I don't think he'd talk to me about you anyway since No, I shouldn't have asked.
Never let me ask about him again.
Okay? Please.
Look, Bay, there's something that I wanted to talk to you about.
You know what I need? I need to find the cutest guy at this party and kiss him a lot.
I support that.
All right.
Okay.
Ding, ding.
Hi.
Damn it, you scared me.
I'm sorry.
I still have a key.
So I have a proposal for you.
A business proposal.
I want to buy K&D.
Whitney is selling it, and I was talking to Bay, and she's right, I have tons of ideas, and I know that I could take it to the next level.
You're always saying that the money is ours.
And I finally feel that way.
That it is ours.
What's wrong? I paid for you to go to rehab.
I gave up Abby for you.
Now you want me to buy you a business? It never ends.
Wait.
You gave up Abby for me? You gave Abby back to Leo and Victor because you said she was better off with them.
If you had agreed to raise her with me, it would have been fine.
But I didn't want to.
Was getting Lana pregnant, with Abby, was that my fault, too? Oh, my God, Angelo.
You are a child.
Do you know that? Hey, buddy, can I just borrow her for a second? - Just one sec, I swear.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- What are you doing? - He has beer in his room.
Yeah, we all have beer in our rooms.
Do you even know his name? It's Ledge.
It's bluff.
It's the thing when you, like, fall.
- Cliff.
- Whatever.
It's not like he knows my name.
If you're drunk enough to think that's a positive, you probably shouldn't be heading back to his room.
Okay, well, maybe I want to hook up with Ledge Cliff.
And have it not mean anything.
Trust me, you're gonna have a million more chances to do that in the next four years, but right now Okay, come on, come on.
We need some air.
Okay, I got your bucket right there.
Oh, God.
Oh, why? Why? Why? Why? Yeah, I made that punch.
No.
Why did he do it? Was it because I didn't say I love you? Who? Cliff? He said he loved you? No.
Ty.
Ty said "I love you," and I didn't say "I love you" back.
Is that why he cheated? I'm not really the guy to ask about this kind of thing.
Every time I get a text and it's not him, my stomach drops.
And every time I check my email and he hasn't written I just want to die.
Doesn't he wish that he could take it back? Yeah, I'm sure he does.
Then why isn't he calling? Why isn't he writing? He doesn't care enough about me that he wishes that he could could see how I'm doing after what he did to me.
Look.
I don't really know jack about love.
But I do know you need to go home.
I'd take you, but I probably shouldn't be driving.
Do you have anybody you can call? Look, you're gonna be okay.
Are those field hockey sticks? Yep, I got 15 more of them in the car.
Maybe I can give them to Bay and she could turn them into some great art piece.
Or give them to John and Kathryn for firewood.
What's going on? I went to Buckner and begged Coach Medlock to let us share their basketball courts.
And he gave you a bunch of field hockey sticks? I guess that was his way of saying no.
And they must have had a bunch of extra equipment.
I had this big plan.
Of making the basketball team and asking John to coach us again and relive the good ol' days.
He probably would've said no anyway.
As if I even know what field hockey was anyway.
I'm from East Riverside.
Nobody plays field hockey in East Riverside.
- I could do it.
- What? Coach.
I mean, if you're desperate.
Are you serious? All I'm doing is marking time until Nikki gets back and redoing sealer wax coupons.
- Do you regret getting married? - No, no way.
I love Nikki.
And we're gonna make this work.
Doesn't mean that I'm happy about our current arrangement.
Do you miss being in school? I miss everything.
I actually miss Buckner.
Can you believe that? Yeah, my life pretty much sucks right now.
Mine, too.
So field hockey.
Field hockey.
Perdonami, pardonnez-moi in every language I know, please forgive me.
I was such in a bad mood.
They have to redo the pool for the house.
It's gonna cost a lot more than I thought.
Are we okay on money? Totally okay.
We're fine.
It's not a problem.
Do you blame me for giving up Abby? No, that was my choice.
And I know that.
I'm still just working through everything.
This business means a lot to you.
I cannot think of a better investment for our money than you.
- Really? - Really.
We've got that charity thing tomorrow for Gerald.
- What is it again, hunger? - Kidneys.
The whole lot of them.
In the cafeteria, talking behind my back, saying that I put Daphne up to that whole thing.
I'm sure some new gossip will kick that to the back burner soon.
I hate to spend my Thursday night eating overcooked prime rib and bidding on things we don't need.
Why don't we just blow it off? I can't do that.
I gotta be there.
Well, you gotta be there, but can't I skip it? What are you talking about? I normally wouldn't say anything, but Connie got dumped - by her boyfriend.
- Again? Yeah, and she wants me to come over tomorrow night and talk about it 'cause she's really down.
So can't you just do this dinner alone just this one time? Kathryn, what? No.
