Show: South of Nowhere - 2x10
Previously on South of Nowhere.
Oh my God!
Get out of my house!
Dad, I love her!
You get out of my house!
Spencer, wait.
You're staying home today.
What?
What?
I don't want you seeing Ashley, which means that until we figure this all out you're not going to school.
You can try to keep her away from me but you cannot keep me away from her, Paula.
Watch me.
It's over.
Her mom won't even let her out of the house.
And some brain-washer she hired showed up the street in her alley.
What do you want me to say, Ashley?
That you should kidnap her?
You know what?
We can go anywhere!
Ashley!
Oh my God!
It's not safe out here, you know?
For pretty girls like you.
Dad?
It's Spencer.
Can you please come pick us up?
Spencer!
I'm sorry that you felt that your home was a place that you couldn't be yourself.
I'm gonna protect you.
Both of you.
The best way I can.
But your dad's cool.
I just wish your mom could be.
Yeah, she's not gonna like it!
Show time in five minutes!
Five minutes!
The whole Carlin family please take your seats, the show is about to begin.
Cells phones off and absolutely no texting, thank you!
I mean, how does staring at a TV screen count as "quality time"?
It just sucks!
We're watching together, sharing the experience.
That's the difference.
I'm gonna get a soda.
Anyone want one?
Yes, please!
I just wanna make sure the phone's on in case she calls.
She'll call.
When she's ready.
Ashley?
Hey!
You forgot your cell in my car.
Hey, Ashley!
Come on in!
Cool!
Am I interrupting?
It's a family night!
Oh, sorry!
Why don't you come in and join us?
Are you sure?
Yeah, come on!
The movie's just about to start.
This is great.
So great!
Now, listen: no talking, all right?
If you hate it, we'll talk about it afterwards together.
What are we watching? "
The Others".
Wait, which one is that?
It's the one with Nicole Kidman.
It's kinda scary, guys.
Yeah.
Oh, no!
That's the one when you find out in the end they've been dead, like, the whole time, right?
Yeah!
That's the one!
I'm sorry!
Well, this was an awesome movie night.
Just let me know when the next one is and I'm there.
Hey, hold on!
It's not ruined!
Come on, sit down!
Oh, I've got the best idea.
Why don't we play a game?
Okay.
Charades?
Super!
Hey, you've got a better idea, there, big guy?
Maybe I do.
I'm a part of this family, yes?
Yes?
No, no, yes, yes.
Okay!
All right.
Well, I mean I think I should get to pick the next activity.
Why you?
I'm the oldest.
There you go: seniority.
I'm kind of afraid of what you would pick.
Yeah, what would you play?
How about paintball?
Hell, do I not do!
Seriously, what have we gotten ourselves into?
I don't know.
But if it gives me the chance to kick Glen's butt then I'm in!
You know, we can still do the mother-daughter medi-pedi thing.
Maybe the week after?
Yeah, totally!
Ashley?
Do you wanna come, too?
Thank you.
But, no thanks.
That's something that you guys should just do together.
Well, you're still gonna do paintball, right?
We'll invite Madison.
I mean, she'll make good target practice.
All right, lock and load!
All right, kick ass!
All right.
But I call captain.
Yeah, I'm just tired.
I'm gonna go.
I'm really sorry that I ruined your family night.
Don't worry about it!
We're all just making an effort, you know.
Get along, get together.
It's kinda weird, I know.
No, it' great.
Really.
What's up?
I mean, aren't you happy that my mom's actually trying?
This is huge, right?
Yeah, you guys are doing great.
What next?
A parade?
What does that mean?
Nothing.
It just must be really nice to have a mom who actually wants you around.
Look, Ash.
I know that you feel bad.
This time, it's not about you and your mom.
Okay, my mom is actually trying.
And I'm glad that she is.
She's doing this for us!
You don't really believe that, do you?
Yeah, I do!
Okay.
So I really didn't get the ending in that movie.
I think the bad guy was supposed to be the British guy's twin brother.
No, I still don't get it.
So, I really enjoyed spending time with you tonight.
That's what friends do!
Well, Ashley's not home.
Do you wanna come in for a minute?
I don't think that's such a good idea.
You know, we're just friends!
Please stop "friending" me!
Okay!
Buddies, pals, amigos.
That's us!
Okay, all right, Aiden.
What?
The Carlins are going out paintballing this Saturday.
I'm invited and I can bring a pal.
Wanna come?
I don't know.
Come on, it will be fun!
Ashley will be there, you can take out your "I wanna kill you" fantasy.
Now, you're talking!
'Where are u?
Meet me at gray.
' So, Saturday!
All right.
But I'm not wearing camouflage and this doe not mean that I like guns!
All right, Clay wants the vanilla almond.
You got it.
You're doing great.
What do you mean?
I see you trying with Ashley.
Yeah, thanks.
I'm just trying to keep Spencer at home.
Either way, did you see how happy our daughter was tonight?
Where's the party?
Right here.
Fantastic, huh?
Something happened between you and Spencer?
Oh yeah!
I went to their family tonight and I don't know, it's just sometimes I feel like I'm her little gay-science experiment.
What do you mean?
You know she loves you!
Yeah, but what happens when the experiment's over?
She's even getting closer to her family, but what if she's just moving away from me?
Look, I don't think Spencer sees it as a choice.
You know, maybe you're just a little bit jealous.
Of what?
Their whole family thing.
You've never had that.
What?
You are my family.
It's gotta be better than a real family, right?
You are my real family.
Honey, you okay?
Yeah, mom.
Okay, I'm going up.
Good night.
Good night.
Hello.
Hey, where did you go?
Nowhere.
Just been home.
Thinking.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Look, I don't get it.
We're out now, we're free.
We don't have to go sneaking around in secret.
No, that's just the opposite of free!
Everyone's in our business.
Especially your mom.
She's everywhere.
All right, whatever.
Madison!
Hey Cat, I'm sorry I'm late!
Yeah.
I need to talk to you.
These charges from last night.
This one looks like it's been altered.
Maybe they changed their mind.
I have that effect on people.
I picked this off of the table for you last night.
I remember the tip.
Now, do you want to explain that?
I don't know.
I run a honest business, here, Madison.
It's going really well.
I don't need this crap.
I'm sorry, but you're fired.
You can't fire me!
Yeah, we can.
And we just did.
The squad took a vote.
You're high.
I am the squad!
It just doesn't work having a thief represent our school.
You're off the squad, Madison.
So!
I guess I'm head cheerleader, now.
Oh, and I'm gonna need your uniform back on Monday.
Preferably dry cleaned.
Oh, Kyla!
It seems we have an opening on the squad!
You dance, don't you?
Hey, I know you told Aiden that I was going home to see Rick.
I can't believe that I trusted you.
I bet Aiden's thinking the same thing about you.
Well, I don't really know what game you're trying to play, but me and Aiden are still friends.
You and I aren't.
Hey, she'll call you...
...when she's ready!
I got it.
I love the smell of paintball in the morning.
Why are you so excited about this?
Because it's in my blood!
My whole family is military: my dad, my uncle, my grandfather.
Your grandfather?
Yeah, you saw the samurai sword in my room?
Ah, yeah!
It symbolizes my inner warrior.
It symbolizes your inner warrior?
You just follow my lead.
Yeah.
Hey, baby!
Baby?
Are you kidding me?
Why the attitude?
Why the innocent act?
Your letting me find out about Kyla and that guy, was that some kind of plan?
You knew where it would hurt her and you didn't care.
I wasn't thinking about Kyla.
I was thinking about you.
Look, if your idea was to clear a path for you and I, you screwed it.
All is fair in love and war, baby!
All right, players!
This is "Total Elimination Paintball".
Your goal is to eliminate the entire personnel force of the opposing teams!
The last team standing wins.
Oh, this is so bad ass!
Isn't this better than movie night?
I'm not so sure this is a great idea, honey.
It's great for Glen.
I mean, he's trying in his own Glen way to reconnect with his family.
How, by killing us?
Today's game consists of three teams.
Platoon leaders, step forward, please!
Glen!
I think your mom would love it if you picked her.
Okay.
Mom.
Yeah, first picked!
But you're gonna have to show me how to use this thing?
Great.
Ashley!
Pick Aiden.
Pick Aiden!
Sean.
Kyla!
Aiden.
Hey, am I too late?
Still going, you wanna be in our team?
Hey, are you crazy?
Look at her!
She's ready to take everyone out.
Oh come on, Spencer!
You can be in our team.
But we're gonna have an uneven number of players.
Oh, stop worrying.
I'm made for this game.
Hurrah!
I might as well have a house plant on my team.
Let's go!
Sit down, sit down!
Move move!
Follow me!
Come on!
Come on!
What's about the cheerleader uniform?
I wouldn't know.
Why don't you go on there and ask her?
Hang on a sec.
Here: that's the safety ring, see?
With these guns, you have to press the safety ring before...
Are you kidding me?
One idiot down.
One to go.
Thanks, good shot!
No way!
Really,...
Oh, come on!
Twenty minutes.
Friendly fire.
The sad truth of war!
Let's get out of here!
Oh, he is going down!
Okay!
Enemies incoming 9 o'clock.
Cover me.
What does that mean?
It means I'm going up there, and you're going that way, okay?
You're the decoy.
What if I get shot?
Then you die a hero.
God, Spencer!
You're such a loser!
I'm a loser?
You know what?
Cover your own ass!
Hey, guys!
Get down!
You already shot me!
That's some experts!
Look, run-up retards: here's the plan.
What the hell?
Not again!
Why did you do that?
Dead weight!
I'm better off alone.
There's no surrender in paintball.
Come on, Glen.
Let's make love, not war.
Right here.
What?
You crazy?
It will be hot!
We can't...
Dammit, Spencer!
Eat paint, G.I.
jerk!
Madison.
You okay?
Mr.
Carlin.
It's just, so much has been happening these past few days...
Just got to be...
Sucker!
I don't believe it.
I do not believe this!
Hey there, pal!
Hey yourself!
With enemies like this who needs friends, right?
Say hi to daddy for me.
Paula, I think I hurt my ankle!
Can you walk on it?
I don't know, it just hurts!
You should have killed me when you had a chance, mom!
I get the enemy in the scope, "blam!", take them out, you know what I'm saying?
Chelsea?
Yes, I wanna talk, too!
What the hell?
I'm turning in my uniform.
Hey, is Spencer here?
No.
She and her dad went to the grocer's store.
Oh.
Well, I'll just wait if that's okay.
Of course!
Can I get you something while you wait?
Ah, no thank you.
Okay!
Mrs.
C.?
I think it's great that you're trying to understand Spencer right now and all.
It's really important to her.
But I feel like you just tolerate me.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I believe you.
You have no idea what Spencer and I are going through right now.
What you're going through is not what Spencer's going through.
Spencer's not like you, Ashley.
I know I'm not the one you want her to be with.
But I'm the one she chose.
We'll see who she chooses.
I guess the battle lines are drawn.
I guess they are.
Oh my God!
Get out of my house!
Dad, I love her!
You get out of my house!
Spencer, wait.
You're staying home today.
What?
