Previously on "Finding Carter"...
We know you've been sleeping with Gabe's dad.
If you don't divorce Elizabeth,
then I will let you write your book.
So you'd already written it.
And that whole speech about fatherly truth-telling...
- That was a lie. - Yes.
I need my bank to cover some debts.
You're his bank?
Here, don't say your bank didn't do anything for you.
What am I supposed to do with it?
Sell it, pawn it.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
It's your first time, I want it to be perfect.
- I miss her. - I'll find her for you.
I believe you have a necklace of mine.
- No, I don't. - But you're wearing my bracelet.
She gave this to me.
Did you give that to her?
Hands behind your back please.
Bird, tell them!
What... You...
Could you just tell me what this looks like?
It looks bad.
Did Crash put you up to this?
Between you and your husband, I...
I think I might actually be better off in here.
It seems my daughter stole my necklace
and blamed your daughter.
I've dropped all charges against Carter.
- I'm here to pick up Carter... - No, Liz, Crash came by.
Some idiot clerk allowed him to post bail for her.
She's gone?
(Elizabeth) She's gone.

Sit down.
Sit down and put your seatbelt on.
What...
All right, all right.
Pretty safety conscious for a fugitive.
I just got you.
I don't want to lose you now.
Out the window.
(Sighs) So where are we going?
I don't know.
Where do you want to go?
Away.
My favorite place.
Somewhere where nobody knows me...
Where nobody has any reason to lie to me.
So, California?
California?
Yeah, why not?
Land of the fresh start.
And I can be a farmer.
I've always wanted to be a farmer.
What?
No, no, you're right, that is exactly
what I think when I look at you.
Cows.
Not cows.
A marijuana farmer.
Oh, my God, I'm so uncool.
Maybe, maybe...
Maybe even a marijuana farmer that's...
Seen the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon?
Yeah, why not?
And maybe, like, also a farmer who's seen Mount Rushmore?
Okay, or...
A marijuana farmer that's seen where you grew up.
Really?
Yeah.

- Ugh! - (Phone beeps)
(Sighs)
Any news?
No, her phone is off, her voice-mail is full,
and the tracker that we put on her phone
says she was in North Carolina.
Now it says that they're doubling back.
So, maybe she's headed home.
Yeah, maybe.
You know, I wish, for once,
that I could just live in your world.
Just nice and relaxed, hope everything's gonna be okay,
but I can't do that.
I can't just cross my fingers and hope that she's okay
and nothing bad is going to happen.
Lizzie, I'm just saying it's too early to get hysterical.
I'm not hysterical... David.
I am proactive.
I know this is frightening.
We lost her once before.
I see myself in her.
And if I was her...
I wouldn't come back.
You'd have had good reason.
That mother of yours...
Are you saying that I'm like my mother?
I'm reminding you that you're not.
Yeah, I know, I just...
Look, please don't tell her I called.
When are you coming home?
I don't know about home,
but I really want to see you guys.
But you could come home.
Bird and her mom came by the house.
Oh, yeah? What did she say?
She said that she stole all the jewelry, not you.
They dropped all charges against you.
What?
You're not in any trouble.
Yeah, please come home.
(Sighs) I can't, I...
It's not safe for Crash now.
(Elizabeth) Carter, it'll never be safe for Crash.
Just come home, you're not in trouble.
Listen to me, he's only going to make things worse for you.
Sorry, she just barged in.
I'm sorry, I'm leaving.
I'm... I'm leaving right now.
Is she still there?
- Come... - (Sighs)
No, she left.
Right.
Where are you guys going?
Um, Disneyland of course.
Yeah, that's where I would go, too.
I'll talk to you later, Armadillo.
You too, Elephant.
Bye.

Are you ready?
Yeah.

♪ Jumping up for you you need a little boost ♪
(Carter) Okay, what's your favorite sound?
I'm not gonna tell you.
- Come on! - Okay, all right.
A train... in the distance.
Like, at night.
I told you it was stupid.
That's not stupid, that's really nice.
What's yours?
My favorite sound...
The sounds that dogs make...
When you haven't seen them for awhile and you come back
and they're really excited to see you.
(Imitating dog whimpering)
I know what you're talking about.
If I went away for a long time
and then I came back,
would you make that sound?
Yes.
(Phone alert chimes)
(Beeps)
Oh, my God.
What?
Crash, pull over.
- What? - Pull over.
Elizabeth put out an amber alert?
I'm sorry.
(Sighs)
Damn it!
(Alert chimes)
(Taylor) Mom, an amber alert?
How could you?
If not now, I hope eventually
you understand why I had to do this.
Isn't this for kidnappings?
Yes.
So, you're saying Crash kidnapped Carter.
But she sounded fine on the phone.
I hope what you just did works.
How's that?
Yeah, it's good.
Ah, well...
The B's not great.
No...
Now it kind of looks like the "B" is bigger
than all the other letters.
God, that's horrible.
No, it's fine, look, nobody's even gonna be looking.
We can just go.
Carter, will you just let me do this?
(Distant train whistle blows)
Hold the light still.
There you go, much better.
Come on, we can go.
There's a few things we have to figure out first.
Where are we?
Like, 30 Miles outside of York.
Okay, so the closest bus terminal would be...
Harrisburg, right?
Why do we need a bus terminal?
'Cause you're going home.
What, no I'm not.
Carter, this isn't a game anymore.
Why don't you get that?
It's a manhunt.
If they catch me, they're gonna charge me
with statutory rape and kidnapping.
Yeah, except you didn't rape me, you didn't kidnap me!
Yeah, but you're... you're a minor!
In the eyes of the law, I did.
You're better off without me, come on.
No, I'm not!
All right, well, then I'm better off without you.
Are you?
No.
(Phone buzzing)
No, but we'd both be better off without this.
All right, fine, I'll turn it off.
It doesn't matter if it's off or on,
it's a GPS system pointing right to us.
All right, fine.
There, is that better?
Are we doing this?
Well, clearly I am.
Are you?
(Phone thuds)
It's just us.
We're off the grid.
Yeah.

♪
So, there were two of them in the aisle,
and I didn't understand, they were really excited
'cause they just got their black tip on their belt.
And I appreciate that 'cause I was a purple belt.
Yeah.
But when they started throwing the moon-pies
and I ask them to stop, then they look at me like,
"hey, man, do you kung fu?"
And so I said, "do you think that's air you're breathing?"
Thanks for making me laugh.
You know what else I was thinking?
What?
(Chuckles)
Is this for me?
Mm-Hmm.
So, I can... I can come here all the time
whenever I want.
All the time, whenever you want.
And we can lay on the couch.
Mm-Hmm.
I'll cook you food.
Ramen.
I wish I could call Carter and tell her about it.
Trust me, she'll be back soon.
(Door shuts)
- Hey. - Hey.
They never fixed the lock on the back window.
Hey, this could work.
This is good, we could use this.
Yeah, we could probably stay here
until we find a new spot.
Is it weird being back?
Yeah.
This is really different without all our furniture.
Okay, tell me.
What was over here?
- Over here? - Uh-huh.
Um, over there was this big, old couch that we had
that we bought at a flew market.
All of our furniture was from flea markets.
Okay, what about in front of the window?
Uh... oh, that was where we, um,
we put the Christmas tree every year.
'Cause my mom always wanted the neighbors
to be able to see it when they walked past.
Okay, what about here?
Over here was our dining room.
That... it was just where my mom kept all of her books.
And, um, she had these three wicker baskets
full of yarn right over there.
She would always try to teach me how to knit.
Wait, you know how to knit?
No, I still can't do it.
Oh, and my height chart!
Look.
Your what?
You never had a height chart?
You know, when your mom, like,
makes you stand up against the wall
and then, like, measures your height,
and you can see how much you grow?
- No? - Sorry.
Oh! All right, well, let's do it now.
Stand up against the wall.
(Laughs) I'm sorry.
Okay, move back.
I can't even reach.
Come back.
So, that's you now,
and the last time my mom measured me,
I was here.
What?
This is new.
This wasn't here before.
My mom wrote this.
Well, how do you know?
That's her handwriting.
That's how she does her sevens.
Okay, what is it?
I don't know, but I'm gonna write it down.
(Muttering)
Hey...
What did I tell you?
I told you I'd find her for you.
(Footsteps approaching)
(Door knocking)
(Man) Hey, who's in there?
Come on, I heard somebody in there last night.
