The Fosters s04e01 Episode Script

1 Previously, on The Fosters This is really hard because I still love you.
If you're ever not feeling this, then just be honest with me.
'Cause I'd rather be hurt than surprised.
I'm not really sure I'm into guys.
I mean, I've never even kissed a girl, so how would I know? Arbiter is responsible for the death of Jack.
And I've just learned that Justina Marks works for Arbiter.
Do you realize what you've just done? - I don't care.
- You will.
Is it true you made these false allegations because she found out you were having sex with your foster brother? - We're gonna fight this.
- I can't sue her.
We absolutely can.
We can't because it's true.
You said you won't break my heart Unless you do You said you won't fall apart Until The end Lena: Oh, my God.
Please tell me that I am misunderstanding this, Callie.
When did this happen? Idyllwild.
It was only once.
I thought I couldn't get adopted.
- Why would you - Honey, honey, just I know that there were complications, Callie, but why wouldn't you think you were getting adopted? Um, remember when Rita was accused of hitting Carmen? Well, I got her to admit that she was lying and I recorded it.
When I told her I wasn't going to let her get away with it, she told me that if I ruined her life that she would ruin mine.
Okay, so wait, what does this have to do with you getting adopted? Carmen knew that I was seeing Brandon while I was at GU.
Wait, after the restraining order? So when I thought that Rita was going to lose her license and her career and everything, I sent her the recording of what Carmen had said, and I figured that that meant Carmen was going to blow up my adoption by telling my social workers everything Brandon and I had done, and I figured if for whatever reason she didn't, - that for sure - Rita would.
Wait a minute, Rita knew? Don't get mad at Rita.
She thought everything was over.
Yeah, like we did.
She just wanted me to have a family.
(theme music playing) It's not where you come from It's where you belong Nothing I would trade I wouldn't have it any other way You're surrounded By love and you're wanted So never feel alone You are home with me Right where you belong So what are the different types of potential energy? Mat? Um, there's chemical, gravitational, mechanical, - and, um - There's one more.
Nuclear.
- Nice of you to join us, Mr.
Stratos.
- Sorry.
And what's an everyday example of potential energy at work? I'll give you a hint it was covered in the chapter.
(fading) Anyone know the answer? Is it true Jude kissed you? Who said that? Well, I mean, he did it at your locker, so, like, everyone saw it.
So what if he did? Isn't he gay? It really isn't any of your business, Daria.
What about Connor? What about Connor? He lives in LA.
Whoa! - Are you okay? - No, I'm not.
I'm very much not okay.
Yeah, well, I got that.
Is there anything I can do? Are you back together with Lexi? No.
I mean, we talked about it, but, you know Good.
You want to have sex? Mariana? Hey.
Hey, uh, is Nick okay? Is he here? I texted him, but he hasn't answered me.
Well, he was late during first period and he seemed kind of off.
- Like, really off.
- (bell ringing) I gotta run.
- Don't don't do that.
- All right, I'm sorry, man.
- I'm just messing with you.
- Yeah, jeez.
I I think Mariana is looking for you.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, I'm looking for her too.
Uh, hey, are you are you sick or something? No, why? Just checking.
You're a good friend.
Oh, yeah? Thanks, man.
How would you like to do your good friend a little favor? Why didn't you tell us? I didn't want to destroy the family.
As soon as we found out that I could get adopted, we stopped everything right away.
We haven't done anything since.
We are family now.
That's the only reason you let us go through with it? Because you didn't want to destroy the family, Callie? No.
No, of course not.
I love you both and I want you to be my moms.
I can't believe this was going on all this time right under our noses.
- How did we not see this was happening? - Stef, it's not the time.
It's not the time.
We love you too, Callie.
It's it's just a lot to wrap our heads around.
If we had told you, what would you have done? (knock on door) - Hey, you got a sec? - Stef: Mike, what are you doing here? Is Nick Stratos in school today? - Uh - I don't Let me check.
Why? Is everything okay? Uh, there was a fire at his dad's warehouse.
- What? - He's not in class.
- What happened? - Looks like arson.
Hey.
Are you okay? You don't look so good.
Are you feeling okay? Look, um, I'm so, so sorry that you saw Mat and me in the garage.
I know what you're thinking, but I swear, that's not what's going on.
I'm gonna tell you everything, okay? Everything.
Okay.
Mat wrote me a note telling me that he still loved me.
At least, that's what he says.
I never got it.
I think Zoey must have taken it out of my bag at rehearsal or something.
Anyway, he told me about it and he asked me to get back together with him.
But I told him no.
- Pfft.
- No, I did.
Because I'm with you now and I really like you.
And what you saw in the garage, that was just us saying goodbye.
I swear.
That's not what it looked like.
I know.
But that's the truth.
Honest to God.
Yeah, sure.
Sure it is.
You know what? You're just telling me all this because you guys want to use the warehouse for your show.
No, that's not I don't even care about the stupid show.
You said you said you weren't going to surprise me.
I know.
I know, and I'm sorry.
But that's not Hey, shouldn't you two be in class? Oh, um - I'm sorry.
We were just - Yeah, I can see that.
Let's go.
- Can't we just have - No.
Let's go now.
Okay, wait, so you think Nick did it? Well, we'd like to talk to him about it.
- (phone ringing) - Wait.
Yes? Okay.
No, I'll be right there.
Apparently, Mr.
Stratos is here, demanding to speak to us.
Mr.
Stratos? Want to come on in? Hi.
Mike was just telling us about your warehouse.
That's awful.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, you're gonna be when I sue you.
Uh, why why would you sue us? I never gave permission for the school to use it to put on that play.
So you're liable.
Yes, you did.
We spoke on the phone.
I spoke with someone on the phone.
Nick connected us.
Wasn't me, 'cause I didn't speak with anyone.
Now get Nick in here.
I want to talk to him.
He's not here.
He didn't come to school today.
Then what's his car doing here? It's right out front.
(knock on door) Oh.
What's going on? Nothing, love.
What do you need? - I wanted to talk to Mama.
- About what? - I saw Nick and he was - You saw Nick? Here at school? He seemed really weird.
Okay, come with me.
Callie, would you go back to class? We'll talk later.
Well, I just saw Nick and he seemed super weird.
So I take it you're the girl the one who's been messing with my son.
Mariana, this is Nick's father, Mr.
Stratos.
Oh.
Hi.
Lena: What do you mean, "super weird"? Um, well, he was just It's important you tell us everything that happened.
Okay.
Well, Nick was upset because he thought that Mat and I were getting back together.
We're not, but - he didn't want to believe me.
- Oh, come on.
You have been playing my son and he finally figured it out.
- Okay okay.
- Of course he's upset.
No, it it was more than that.
He he seemed off.
Stef: Off in what way, Mariana? I don't know, why? What happened? Did Nick do something? Not not that we know of, but there was a fire at the warehouse and we just - we don't - You think Nick did it? Hey, I just confirmed, he's not in class - and no one's seen him.
- Then where the hell is he? I swear to God, you people are incompetent.
Why don't we go and see if Nick's car is here, shall we? His car was right there! So the kids just come and go as they please? Mariana, why don't you go back to class, okay? Uh, Mr.
Stratos, do you do you think do you think that Nick would, uh, hurt himself - or anyone else? - What are you asking me? Does he have access to any weapons? Weapons? Do you keep a gun in the house? I have a gun.
Yes.
I have a carry permit.
But I keep it locked in the car.
Okay, do you think that we could check it and make sure that it's still there? - We don't need to.
- Humor me.
There's no point in So let's give Nick a call again, find out where he is.
Get down everybody down.
Stop the car now! - (brakes squealing) - Turn off the engine! Come out with your hands in the air! Whoa! This is a little bit over the top for cutting a class.
Okay.
What are you doing in Nick's car? I I just borrowed it so I could take Emma out.
In the middle of the school day? Nice, Jesus! So Nick is here? Nick's on campus? Look, it's not his fault.
I'm the one who asked him to borrow the car.
Nick's got a gun.
As far as we know, he is here.
- Yeah.
- We've got to lock down this school now.
- Let's get everyone - Monte: Are you serious? - Mike: I'll call it in! - Stef, where are you going? I'm going to find our daughter! - Hey.
- Hey.
- You okay? - Um, no, I need to tell you something.
What? Moms know.
Know what? What we did in Idyllwild.
How? I told them.
(alarm sounding) Lena (over P.
A.
) Code blue.
This is a code blue.
This is not a drill.
- I repeat - Get into a classroom, right now! Come on, drop your bag.
Get into a classroom, please.
Out of the hallway, everybody! This is not a drill.
I repeat, this is not a drill.
(alarm continues) Mom? Mom, what's going on? It's okay.

All right.
Do you know where your sister is Mariana? - No, no, no.
- Okay, honey.

Just get in your class.
Lena: I repeat, this is not a drill.
This is a code blue.
Code blue.
Code blue, this is a code blue.
This is not a drill.
I repeat, this is not a drill.
- What does "code blue" mean? - It means someone has a gun on campus.
Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get shot so I don't have to see Moms.
Brandon, what a stupid thing to say.
(murmuring) Code blue, this is a code blue.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Yeah I I'm fine.
I'm just a sub, so I've never been through anything like this.
Get those blinds, okay? Everyone, we have to stay quiet and do what I say.
I need this table in front of this door right now.
Stack the stools on the table.
Okay, let's do it.
Get on here.
Now everyone down against the wall, okay? And remember, you have to be totally quiet.
All right? - Lena: Code blue.
This is a code blue.
- You okay? I repeat, this is not a drill.

Get out of here, run! Go as far away from the school as possible.
Don't come back.
Go, go, go.
Code blue.
This is a code blue.
This is not a drill.
This is the final announcement you will hear over the P.
A.
Shh, shh.
Wait, we don't open the door for anyone.
Let me in, please.
It's Mariana Mariana Foster.
Mariana.
We have to let her in.
Absolutely not! We don't know who else is out there.
She could be with the shooter.
She could be the shooter.
Sit down.
Open the door, please.
- Give me this.
- (all whispering) Open the door, please! Please, let me in.
Please open the door! I'm stuck out here in the hallway! Open the door! Open the door, please! Please let me in! Okay, they've called in SWAT.
They should be in within five minutes.
(sirens, helicopters hovering) Excuse me! Excuse me! - Yes? - Excuse me, I got one of those calls a robocall saying the school is going on lockdown? - Yes, that's right.
- What is going on? Um, listen, there is no need to panic, but we have reason to believe that there might be someone on campus with a gun.
Wait, wait.
Wait, excuse me.
I want to take my son home now.
I understand, but that's not possible.
The best thing for you and for your son is for you to go to the designated meeting area and wait there.
- I am not leaving here without my son.
- Listen, I know this is scary.
- It's scary.
- It is.
My kids are in there too.
We have a job to do and it is not safe for you to be here right now.
Officer Johnston, please he's going to escort you to the meeting area.
- And please wait.
- But we have - It's going to be fine.
- talk to our kids and It's going to be fine, I promise you.
- Thank you for your cooperation.
- It will be fine.
This is ridiculous.
(girl crying) Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Everything is going to be okay.
All right? I promise you.
You're good.
I got you.
- You're okay.
- - - I'm going to be right back, okay? Okay.
I gotta go.
(softly) Why are they asking about Nick? The warehouse burned down.
What? With all the sets and everything.
I heard when I was in the office.
I'm really sorry.
Maybe they think Nick's, like, lost it or something.
I never found Mariana.
I assume she got back to her class.
Are all the kids accounted for? Lena: Uh, not yet.
But we haven't gotten roll call back from all the classes yet.
We have Emma and Jesus here, of course.
And Jude is in his class.
But we still haven't heard anything back about Mariana, Callie, or Brandon.
- What is taking so long? - Well, we have a sub in one class, so it might just take a little longer.
- Don't worry.
- (phone ringing) (laughs) (phones ringing) What? - What? - Sorry.
Sorry, I just this is what happens when I get nervous.
Emma, come on.
'Kay? Take a deep breath.
It's okay.
We're going to be fine.
I just can't believe this is all because of Nick.
Did he seem upset when you saw him this morning? Yeah.
Yeah, I guess he was kind of acting strange.
He thanked me for being a good friend.
Well, you are a good friend.
But it wasn't like that.
The way he was talking, it was more heavy.
Like he was going away for a long time, or like Like he was going to do something to himself? (phones ringing) Hey, buddy, it's your dad.
Please call me.
Don't do anything stupid.
Please.
We should get roll done.
Here.
Miranda Collins? Abby Wheeler? Dean Kudrow? Leo James? Matthew Johnson? Stephen Evans? Hey, turn that off.
You're gonna get us killed.
What are you doing? Oh, um whenever I get scared or whatever, I do the sign of the cross on my hand.
It makes me feel better, like I'm talking to God, or I know, it's dumb.
No.
I don't think so.
Just like that.
So you and Robby? Yeah, me and Robby.
We're talking about the same guy here, right? Wrestling Robby, not - Yeah, him.
- With the the hairy arms? Yeah.
Ugh, they were so hairy.
When he would put his arms around me, he would tickle my ears.
How long were you guys together? Couple months.
I think you're better off anyway.
I didn't see you guys together.
Apparently, he didn't either.
Yeah, well, you deserve a lot more than some knucklehead who cheats on you.
Okay, we got the last roll from the sub's room.
And it looks like Brandon and Callie are in there.
Wait, I thought the sub was doing junior high? Yeah, they must've gotten pulled in during the lockdown.
Thank God.
Looks like they're the ones taking the roll and sending the emails.
- Let me see.
- Okay.
(phones continue ringing) Wait wait a minute.
This can't be the last class.
Mariana's not here.
No one no one has Mariana.
Okay, okay, I'm sure she's fine.
You know, we probably just missed her name somewhere.
You don't think she's with Nick, do you? Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Mama Mama, where is she? - I don't know, I don't know.
- Shh, keep your voice down.
- Lena? Lena! - Hey, hey, hey! Whoa, whoa.
What are you doing? - I'm going to find Mariana.
- Get down, get down.
Mike, if she is not in a classroom, that means she's in this building somewhere alone! - I'm gonna go find her.
Let me go.
- Listen to me, - I know you're scared.
- Get off of me! I know you're scared.
But nobody's going out there to be target practice for somebody with a gun.
I know it's not what you want to hear right now, but you are not leaving this room.
Maybe she's hiding out somewhere.
Unless she's with Nick? Stef, we have all of the kids except Mariana.
(men shouting, police radios buzzing) Man: Move that perimeter back! (breathing, crying) Substitute: What the hell is taking so long? I mean, seriously, why aren't they telling us anything? - Quiet.
- You know what? We're all just - we're just sitting ducks.
- Shut up.
Okay? You're scaring them.
You guys? There's something wrong with Stasia.
(girl whimpering) Hey, what's going on? Can you talk? - I have - She she has diabetes.
This this happened one time and the teacher gave her sugar, I think.
Okay, then we need sugar.
Does anyone have anything sweet? - Guys? - Sugar.
We need sugar.
Nothing? - Man: Go, go, go! - All right, let's go, let's go! Move, move! If Nick's inside, he's hiding.
So we've got to get everyone out and do a clean sweep with dogs.
We've got a secure area for the students.
We're going to start quietly evacuating, one classroom at a time.
We've got the master key to unlock and get everyone out.
Just wanted to let you know.
Sit tight and we'll get to you soon, okay? Any word on Mariana? No.
It's going to be okay.
We're going to find her.
I love you.
I love you too.
Brandon: Nothing? We need sugar, guys.
Anything sweet.
- What do we do? - I don't I don't know.
- Nobody's got candy or - Brandon, look in here.
Substitute: I think there's a I think that there's, like, an emergency bag somewhere.
What, an emerg What does it look like? Yeah, you know, like a backpack or something.
I found it! I got I got it.
Give me that.
I got it.
Okay.
We should hurry up.
- Hold on.

Okay, I got you.

What are you talking about? He's not straight.
Well, you're not.
You don't know what you're talking about, Daria.
Yeah, why are you being such a douche? Well, excuse me if I don't want my friend to get hurt.
