1
00:00:02,436 --> 00:00:03,904
Previously on Young Sheldon...

2
00:00:04,003 --> 00:00:05,939
I waited at school for an hour
and had to walk home.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,208
No one even called.

4
00:00:07,308 --> 00:00:08,342
Mandy went into labor.

5
00:00:08,442 --> 00:00:09,577
I had to go to the hospital.

6
00:00:09,677 --> 00:00:11,545
She had the baby
and no one told me?

7
00:00:11,645 --> 00:00:14,948
And what exactly is it
that's wrong with your bed?

8
00:00:15,049 --> 00:00:16,484
My husband's in it.

9
00:00:16,584 --> 00:00:18,519
So, you're just gonna
keep sleeping here

10
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:20,221
instead of dealing
with it?

11
00:00:20,321 --> 00:00:22,022
I'm helping with the baby.

12
00:00:22,123 --> 00:00:25,559
She'll still be crying
tomorrow. Go home.

13
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:45,946
Uh-oh.

14
00:00:55,656 --> 00:00:58,092
CUSTOMER:
Ten dollars on pump two.

15
00:00:58,192 --> 00:00:59,727
CASHIER: You got it.

16
00:01:02,096 --> 00:01:05,465
Hi, uh, ten dollars
on pump, uh...

17
00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:06,600
whichever that one is.

18
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,569
Ain't you young to be driving?

19
00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:10,538
Oh, I'm just pumping gas
for my dad.

20
00:01:10,638 --> 00:01:12,906
He's in the bathroom.
Might be a while.

21
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:14,475
(scoffs) Been there.

22
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:24,218
I'm on pump number three.

23
00:01:24,318 --> 00:01:25,586
You?

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,420
Two.

25
00:01:27,521 --> 00:01:29,289
Nice.

26
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:30,924
(phone ringing)

27
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:32,793
Hello?

28
00:01:32,893 --> 00:01:33,694
Hey, it's Missy.

29
00:01:33,794 --> 00:01:34,795
I stole my dad's truck,

30
00:01:34,895 --> 00:01:36,029
I'm running away.
Want to come?

31
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:38,765
You're running away?
Sounds dangerous.

32
00:01:38,866 --> 00:01:40,100
Oh, um...

33
00:01:40,201 --> 00:01:41,435
well, my dad taught me
how to drive and...

34
00:01:41,535 --> 00:01:43,904
I'm messing with you.
Come and get me.

35
00:01:44,003 --> 00:01:46,907
* Nobody else
is stronger than I am *

36
00:01:47,007 --> 00:01:49,577
* Yesterday I moved a mountain *

37
00:01:49,676 --> 00:01:51,912
* I bet I could be your hero *

38
00:01:52,012 --> 00:01:54,948
* I am a mighty little man *

39
00:01:55,048 --> 00:01:59,587
* I am a mighty little man. *

40
00:02:11,732 --> 00:02:13,234
Why didn't we do this years ago?

41
00:02:13,334 --> 00:02:15,102
My feet wouldn't
reach the pedals.

42
00:02:18,306 --> 00:02:20,107
(snoring)

43
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:22,210
Dad, wake up. There's a problem.

44
00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:23,744
What? What's wrong?

45
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:25,413
It's Saturday morning
and no one's cooking bacon.

46
00:02:25,513 --> 00:02:28,115
Oh. So go cook bacon.

47
00:02:28,216 --> 00:02:29,483
But Mom cooks bacon.

48
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:30,884
Well, she's at
your meemaw's.

49
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:32,620
Which is why I'm waking you up.

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,888
Sheldon, you're a very
intelligent little boy,

51
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:36,557
I'm sure you can handle bacon.

52
00:02:37,391 --> 00:02:38,326
I'll wake up Missy.

53
00:02:38,426 --> 00:02:40,194
No, wait...
(exhales)

54
00:02:40,293 --> 00:02:41,529
She's mad at the
world right now.

55
00:02:41,629 --> 00:02:43,163
Just leave her alone.

56
00:02:43,264 --> 00:02:44,965
Then I'll call Mom.

57
00:02:45,065 --> 00:02:47,034
(groans) Okay...

58
00:02:47,134 --> 00:02:49,503
I'll make your
stupid bacon, happy?

59
00:02:49,603 --> 00:02:50,971
I've been better.

60
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:57,144
This is the best day of my life.

61
00:02:57,245 --> 00:02:58,879
First time running away?

62
00:02:58,978 --> 00:03:00,047
Pretty much.

63
00:03:00,147 --> 00:03:01,549
Think your parents
know you're gone?

64
00:03:01,649 --> 00:03:03,784
They barely know when I'm there.

65
00:03:03,884 --> 00:03:07,555
Missy, there's breakfast.
We saved you a little.

66
00:03:07,655 --> 00:03:09,257
What about somewhere
with a beach,

67
00:03:09,357 --> 00:03:10,424
like California?

68
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:11,825
We've already driven
five hours east,

69
00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:13,561
so we might want to
keep heading that way.

70
00:03:13,661 --> 00:03:16,196
East. You really are smart.

71
00:03:16,297 --> 00:03:18,899
I get there was a lot
of yelling last night.

72
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:23,203
Just want you to know I'm here
when you're ready to talk.

73
00:03:23,304 --> 00:03:24,472
I mean, if you want a beach,

74
00:03:24,572 --> 00:03:25,806
then Florida's in
the right direction.

75
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:27,708
Oh, and it's almost
spring break.

76
00:03:27,808 --> 00:03:29,877
Like MTV Spring Break?
Mm-hmm.

77
00:03:29,977 --> 00:03:33,180
If you expect me to apologize,
you can sit in there forever.

78
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:35,849
Great.
Then we're going to Florida.

79
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:37,351
Let's pay and get out of here.

80
00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:38,819
Or...

81
00:03:38,918 --> 00:03:41,555
let's not pay
and get out of here.

82
00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:45,559
Fine, ignore me.
I'm eating your bacon.

83
00:03:49,797 --> 00:03:52,199
Oh, my God, oh, my God,
oh, my God, oh, my God.

84
00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:55,603
You know, there's a more
spatially efficient way

85
00:03:55,703 --> 00:03:57,838
to do that.
It's good enough.

86
00:03:57,938 --> 00:03:59,239
Is that what you tell
your football players?

87
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:02,610
I make them run laps.
That what you want?

88
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:05,879
You're funny.
I like our weekends together.

89
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,516
(pots clattering)

90
00:04:09,283 --> 00:04:10,351
Oh.

91
00:04:10,451 --> 00:04:12,553
Hi. Um...

92
00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:13,821
I didn't see your truck.

93
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:15,789
I just came
to grab a few things.

94
00:04:16,557 --> 00:04:17,625
Yeah. It's fine.

95
00:04:17,725 --> 00:04:19,726
Hi, Shelly.
How you doing, baby?

96
00:04:19,827 --> 00:04:21,862
I'm all right, although
the dishwasher looks like

97
00:04:21,962 --> 00:04:23,631
it was loaded by Gustaf Dalén.

98
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:27,100
He won a Nobel Prize in physics.
And was blind.

99
00:04:27,935 --> 00:04:29,770
What do you mean you didn't
see my truck outside?

100
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:32,072
It's not out front.

101
00:04:32,172 --> 00:04:33,341
Yes, it is.

102
00:04:33,441 --> 00:04:35,207
I was just out there.

103
00:04:38,712 --> 00:04:40,648
The hell's my truck?

104
00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:44,151
It's a '86 Ford F-250.

105
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:46,286
And you didn't hear anything?
No.

106
00:04:46,387 --> 00:04:47,888
What about you, ma'am?

107
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:51,158
Well, um, actually...

108
00:04:51,258 --> 00:04:52,593
Oh, she hasn't
slept here in days.

109
00:04:52,693 --> 00:04:53,827
She's just
getting her things.

110
00:04:53,927 --> 00:04:55,796
I was taking
care of the baby.

111
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:59,500
We have a new grandbaby.
(chuckles)

112
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,435
You mentioned you
had a daughter.

113
00:05:01,535 --> 00:05:02,536
Any chance she saw something?

114
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:03,871
(chuckles) I doubt it.

115
00:05:03,971 --> 00:05:04,972
She didn't even
come out of her room.

116
00:05:05,072 --> 00:05:06,173
You haven't
seen her at all?

117
00:05:06,273 --> 00:05:07,541
No. She's mad at me.

118
00:05:07,641 --> 00:05:09,543
Mind if we ask her?

119
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:11,845
Missy.

120
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:13,113
Open up.

121
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:18,519
(gasps) Missy?

122
00:05:18,619 --> 00:05:19,720
Son of a bitch.

123
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:21,722
Huh, your truck's gone
and she's gone?

124
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:22,756
What are the odds of that?

125
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:24,658
She took my truck, Sheldon.

126
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:27,260
Oh, more chaos. Got it.

127
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:30,330
We are breaking so
many laws right now.

128
00:05:30,431 --> 00:05:32,065
I feel like Thelma & Louise.

129
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,133
Me too.

130
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,002
Have you seen
that movie?

131
00:05:35,102 --> 00:05:35,969
No.

132
00:05:36,069 --> 00:05:37,871
Me neither.
(giggles)

133
00:05:45,245 --> 00:05:46,547
How could you not know
she was missing?

134
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:48,916
I thought she was giving me
the silent treatment.

135
00:05:49,016 --> 00:05:51,452
You know, teenage girls.

136
00:05:51,552 --> 00:05:52,986
I don't.

137
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,622
Moody, moody, moody.

138
00:05:54,722 --> 00:05:56,790
Sheldon.
When was the last time
you saw your daughter?

139
00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:59,026
Uh, well...

140
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:01,128
Hard to say.
We just... Lot going on.

141
00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:02,796
Well, at 6:15 she made
a plate of food

142
00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:04,164
and took it to her room,

143
00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:05,466
which I said, "is how
you attract ants,"

144
00:06:05,566 --> 00:06:07,067
and she said to mind
my own business,

145
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:08,536
and I said it
is my business

146
00:06:08,636 --> 00:06:09,770
because her bedroom
shares a wall with mine...

147
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,139
6:15, got it.
No one saw her after that?

148
00:06:12,239 --> 00:06:13,774
Well, at 7:22, she had
to use the restroom,

149
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:15,409
but she had to wait
because my dad was in there.

150
00:06:15,509 --> 00:06:16,477
Probably due
to all the beers.

151
00:06:16,577 --> 00:06:18,345
Thank you.
Happy to help.

152
00:06:18,446 --> 00:06:20,514
And then at 7:45, she
tried the bathroom again,

153
00:06:20,614 --> 00:06:22,215
and luckily, by then
my father had...

154
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:24,084
Sheldon, when was
the last time you saw her?

155
00:06:24,184 --> 00:06:26,487
Well, at 9:15 I brought her
a can of Raid for the ants,

156
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:28,522
and she told me to go to hell,
which is rude.

157
00:06:28,622 --> 00:06:30,491
And then at 11:06 I tried
to communicate with her

158
00:06:30,591 --> 00:06:32,292
via walkie-talkie
to no response.

159
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:33,761
I can't believe
she would do this.

160
00:06:33,861 --> 00:06:36,096
How does she even
know how to drive?

161
00:06:36,864 --> 00:06:39,099
All right, now,
take your foot off the brake

162
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:40,968
gently put it on the...
(tires screech)

163
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:42,503
(Missy laughing)

164
00:06:43,971 --> 00:06:45,338
I bet your mother taught her.

165
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,075
She could be lost,
she could be in an accident,

166
00:06:48,175 --> 00:06:49,510
she could be in a ditch

167
00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:51,178
by the side of the road
somewhere.

168
00:06:51,278 --> 00:06:53,280
* So I wake in the morning *

169
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:54,448
* And I step outside *

170
00:06:54,548 --> 00:06:56,584
* And I take a deep breath *

171
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:58,118
* And I get real high... *
There's a cop.

172
00:06:58,218 --> 00:06:59,487
(turns volume down)
Be cool. Be cool.

173
00:06:59,587 --> 00:07:00,921
* Scream from
the top of my lungs *

174
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:03,757
* What's going on? *

175
00:07:03,857 --> 00:07:04,825
(turns volume up)

176
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:07,728
* And I say, "Hey-ey-ey." *

177
00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:09,997
Okay, well,
if you hear anything,

178
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:11,298
please give me a call.

179
00:07:11,398 --> 00:07:12,700
Thank you.

180
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,134
Nothing.

181
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:15,569
Any word?

182
00:07:15,669 --> 00:07:17,705
No. None of her friends
have heard from her.

183
00:07:17,805 --> 00:07:19,707
The police are looking
for my truck, but still no sign.

184
00:07:19,807 --> 00:07:21,274
I can't believe
that girl.

185
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:23,811
Did she even think about
how worried we'd all be?

186
00:07:23,911 --> 00:07:26,480
Wow, you became a dad fast.

187
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,048
Well, it just kicks in.

188
00:07:28,148 --> 00:07:30,017
(sighs) I don't know
who else to call.

189
00:07:30,117 --> 00:07:31,218
What about Paige?

190
00:07:31,318 --> 00:07:32,452
Are they still in touch?

191
00:07:32,553 --> 00:07:33,754
They saw each other
a few weeks ago.

192
00:07:33,854 --> 00:07:35,422
Although Paige was
quite inebriated.

193
00:07:35,523 --> 00:07:37,324
What?
It means drunk.

194
00:07:37,424 --> 00:07:38,692
We know what it means.

195
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,327
And Paige has
run away from home before.

196
00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:41,428
If I was going on the lam,

197
00:07:41,529 --> 00:07:43,096
that's certainly
who I'd contact.

198
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:44,832
"Lam." What a fun word.

199
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:46,900
I'm glad I got the chance
to use it.

200
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,036
Lam.
MARY: Hi. Linda,

201
00:07:49,136 --> 00:07:50,604
this is Mary Cooper.

202
00:07:50,704 --> 00:07:52,405
Um, I'm sorry
to call out of the blue,

203
00:07:52,506 --> 00:07:54,441
but is Missy there with Paige?

204
00:07:54,542 --> 00:07:56,577
No. Why?
What's going on?

205
00:07:56,677 --> 00:07:58,178
(sighs)
Well...

206
00:07:58,278 --> 00:08:00,213
Missy has run away,
and we thought...

207
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,649
That my daughter
would have something

208
00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:04,451
to do with it?
Oh, no, I'm not accusing her.

209
00:08:04,552 --> 00:08:06,687
No, that's exactly
something she would do.

210
00:08:06,787 --> 00:08:07,688
Hold on.

211
00:08:07,788 --> 00:08:09,189
Paige.

212
00:08:09,289 --> 00:08:11,024
I'm thinking
she might be with Paige.

213
00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:12,392
Paige?

214
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:13,727
(opens door)
Damn it.

215
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:15,195
Hey, can I drive?

216
00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:16,864
Better not.

217
00:08:16,964 --> 00:08:19,332
My dad'll be pretty mad if
something happens to his truck.

218
00:08:19,432 --> 00:08:21,635
Like what,
if somebody stole it?

219
00:08:22,603 --> 00:08:23,604
Oh, my God, I'm a criminal.

220
00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:25,205
Yeah.
It's pretty cool, right?

221
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:27,407
I'm gonna be in so much trouble.

222
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:29,509
Only if you go back.

223
00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:31,278
I guess you're right.

224
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:32,846
I mean, don't worry.

225
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:34,347
When we get to Daytona,
everything's gonna be great.

226
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:35,716
Think so?

227
00:08:35,816 --> 00:08:37,784
Yeah.

228
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:40,554
Hey, maybe we should
change our names.
Really?

229
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:41,989
And I hate my name.

230
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:44,424
Paige. What am I,
a congressional aide?

231
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,960
Yeah, totally.

232
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:48,829
So, what name
are you gonna pick?

233
00:08:48,929 --> 00:08:50,698
I'm thinking Ginger.

234
00:08:50,798 --> 00:08:51,932
That is so good.

235
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:53,767
Ginger's not
a boring scientist.

236
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,236
Ginger's fun.
She's alive.

237
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:58,038
I'm gonna pick Susan.

238
00:08:58,138 --> 00:08:59,406
No, Suzie.
Much cuter.

239
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:02,542
Ginger and Suzie.
Ginger and Suzie.

240
00:09:02,643 --> 00:09:04,177
* Call me up and tell me... *

241
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:06,647
Wait, is it too late to
change my name to Brandi?

242
00:09:06,747 --> 00:09:09,482
Too late.
Come on, Ginger.

243
00:09:11,418 --> 00:09:14,254
I can't believe the last thing
we did was yell at her.

244
00:09:14,354 --> 00:09:15,522
Now, don't go blaming yourself.

245
00:09:15,623 --> 00:09:18,258
Uh, I was blaming both of us.

246
00:09:18,358 --> 00:09:20,327
So, we weren't
supposed to punish her?

247
00:09:20,427 --> 00:09:22,229
Kids do stupid stuff,
parents yell at them.

248
00:09:22,329 --> 00:09:25,198
Yeah, y'all did it to me,
I'm gonna do it to my kid.

249
00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:26,667
Calm down, Daddy.

250
00:09:26,767 --> 00:09:28,669
I know y'all are worried,
but this ain't helping.

251
00:09:28,769 --> 00:09:30,604
She snuck out
and stole my truck.

252
00:09:30,704 --> 00:09:32,405
I mean, how is this our fault?

253
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:33,641
Well, maybe she was right.

254
00:09:33,741 --> 00:09:35,175
She does get ignored
around here.

255
00:09:35,275 --> 00:09:36,476
I liked being ignored.

256
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,111
Let me get away with
all kinds of stuff.

257
00:09:38,211 --> 00:09:39,546
Please stop helping.

258
00:09:39,647 --> 00:09:41,414
We need to get the police
back on the phone.

259
00:09:41,514 --> 00:09:42,415
I know how to find them.

260
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:44,084
Really?
How?

261
00:09:44,184 --> 00:09:45,919
Right, well, based on the time
they've been gone

262
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:47,587
and the average speed limit,
I've calculated that this circle

263
00:09:47,688 --> 00:09:49,022
is the maximum distance
they could have traveled.

264
00:09:49,122 --> 00:09:51,759
And what are the pins?
I'm glad you asked.

265
00:09:51,859 --> 00:09:54,227
To help narrow down
the search, I've identified

266
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:55,528
points of interest
to teenage girls.

267
00:09:55,629 --> 00:09:58,298
The big four--
malls, beauty salons,

268
00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:00,300
horse stables and roller rinks.

269
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,869
And what are the blue pins?

270
00:10:01,969 --> 00:10:03,704
Those are places
that I'm interested in

271
00:10:03,804 --> 00:10:05,472
that we can swing by
after we find them.

272
00:10:05,572 --> 00:10:06,974
For example, Peaster, Texas...

273
00:10:07,074 --> 00:10:08,141
No one cares.

274
00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:11,078
Peaster, Texas--
birthplace of Robert E. Howard,

275
00:10:11,178 --> 00:10:14,447
regarded to be the father of
the sword and sorcery subgenre.

276
00:10:14,547 --> 00:10:16,083
Sheldon, this isn't about you.

277
00:10:16,183 --> 00:10:17,685
But it's a good start.

278
00:10:17,785 --> 00:10:19,452
Why don't you go
narrow that down even more?

279
00:10:19,552 --> 00:10:21,689
I'll check in Missy's room
for clues.

280
00:10:21,789 --> 00:10:24,557
If she took her roller skates,
this case is closed.

281
00:10:28,662 --> 00:10:30,197
Think your parents
are freaking out?

282
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:31,832
Probably having a party.

283
00:10:31,932 --> 00:10:33,801
And then Sheldon will complain
about them having a party,

284
00:10:33,901 --> 00:10:36,670
and they'll stop because he gets
everything he wants.

285
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,040
I know.
Try being the golden child.

286
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:42,075
Everybody's always expecting
big things from you

287
00:10:42,175 --> 00:10:43,376
'cause you're a genius.

288
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:45,578
What do you want to do?

289
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:48,048
I don't know.

290
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:50,083
Something simple, easy.

291
00:10:51,118 --> 00:10:53,020
You know, I heard there's
a place in Florida

292
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,621
where you can get a job
as a mermaid.

293
00:10:54,722 --> 00:10:56,489
Really?
Really.

294
00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:59,359
Don't get mad at me,
but you are a genius.

295
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:01,594
Just don't tell
the other mermaids.

296
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:03,596
(siren chirping)
Oh, crap.

297
00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:05,132
Well, how fast are you going?

298
00:11:05,232 --> 00:11:06,399
I'm not going too fast.
Maybe I'm going too slow.

299
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:07,567
Should I speed up?

300
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:08,435
Don't speed up.
What are you doing?

301
00:11:08,535 --> 00:11:09,636
I don't know.

302
00:11:09,737 --> 00:11:11,171
Just...
Maybe it's not for us.

303
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:12,773
Pull over and let him pass.

304
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:22,482
What do we do?

305
00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:24,151
We need to get
our stories straight.

306
00:11:24,251 --> 00:11:26,920
We're cousins, you're 16,
you forgot your license at home,

307
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:29,289
and we're on our way to the
hospital to visit our grandma.

308
00:11:29,389 --> 00:11:30,824
Okay.

309
00:11:35,729 --> 00:11:37,297
I'm only 13, I stole
my dad's truck

310
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:39,066
and we didn't pay for
breakfast at the diner.

311
00:11:39,165 --> 00:11:40,467
We just left.

312
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:43,470
Okay. And who's this?

313
00:11:43,570 --> 00:11:45,839
My cousin, Ginger.

314
00:11:53,313 --> 00:11:56,083
Is anyone hungry?
I can make sandwiches.

315
00:11:56,183 --> 00:11:57,117
No, thanks.

316
00:11:57,217 --> 00:11:58,986
Not hungry.
I could eat.

317
00:11:59,086 --> 00:12:01,221
Then make yourself a sandwich.

318
00:12:01,321 --> 00:12:02,923
Maybe you should.
Are you cranky?

319
00:12:03,023 --> 00:12:04,657
Okay, I figured it out.

320
00:12:04,758 --> 00:12:05,725
Based off the pictures

321
00:12:05,826 --> 00:12:07,027
she's ripped out of magazines,

322
00:12:07,127 --> 00:12:08,762
she's a big fan
of actor Luke Perry.

323
00:12:08,862 --> 00:12:12,199
Who is that?
He plays Dylan
on Beverly Hills, 90210.

324
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:13,666
Your classic bad boy.

325
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:15,702
Your classic bad boy?

326
00:12:15,803 --> 00:12:17,270
Yeah, like me.

327
00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:19,807
The show not only takes
place but is also filmed

328
00:12:19,907 --> 00:12:21,074
in Los Angeles, California.

329
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:22,675
That's obviously
where she's heading.

330
00:12:22,776 --> 00:12:25,012
(phone ringing)

331
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:27,347
Cooper residence.

332
00:12:27,447 --> 00:12:28,648
Now, given the amount of time
since she's left...

333
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:31,384
They're okay!
They've found them.

334
00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,086
Oh, thank God.

335
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:34,354
Where are they?

336
00:12:34,454 --> 00:12:37,124
Uh, about an hour
east of Baton Rouge.

337
00:12:37,224 --> 00:12:38,391
Apparently they were
on their way to Florida.

338
00:12:38,491 --> 00:12:39,893
That's not where
Luke Perry is.

339
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:41,261
Let me speak to them.

340
00:12:42,062 --> 00:12:43,430
Copy that.

341
00:12:44,197 --> 00:12:45,999
All right. Your parents
are on the way.

342
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:47,534
Are they mad?

343
00:12:47,634 --> 00:12:50,303
If my daughter stole my car
and ran away, I'd be mad.

344
00:12:50,403 --> 00:12:52,806
What if she had a good reason?

345
00:12:53,841 --> 00:12:55,042
Do you have a good reason?

346
00:12:55,142 --> 00:12:56,910
Well, my brother's really smart

347
00:12:57,010 --> 00:12:59,847
and my older brother had a baby
and they were ignoring me.

348
00:12:59,947 --> 00:13:02,082
You might need
a better reason.

349
00:13:03,383 --> 00:13:04,818
Are you taking us to jail?

350
00:13:05,986 --> 00:13:06,887
No.

351
00:13:06,987 --> 00:13:08,856
Great, so we can go?

352
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:10,457
No.

353
00:13:10,557 --> 00:13:12,625
But I'm not
taking you in either.

354
00:13:12,725 --> 00:13:14,127
Why not?

355
00:13:14,227 --> 00:13:17,564
I got a kid your age.
I get it.

356
00:13:18,365 --> 00:13:19,867
Oh, God,
I'd rather sit in jail

357
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:22,169
than have another adult
tell me how much they get it.

358
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:25,472
Not me.
Happy right here.

359
00:13:27,374 --> 00:13:30,210
I'm real sorry for whatever
Paige got Missy into.

360
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:33,313
Thanks, but I think
this one's on Missy.

361
00:13:33,413 --> 00:13:36,016
I doubt it. Last month
she swiped my credit card

362
00:13:36,116 --> 00:13:37,885
and bought a plane ticket
to Hawaii.

363
00:13:37,985 --> 00:13:39,152
Nonrefundable.

364
00:13:39,252 --> 00:13:40,553
What did you do?

365
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:41,855
What could I do?
I dropped her off at her dad's

366
00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:43,790
and I went to Hawaii.

367
00:13:43,891 --> 00:13:45,292
(chuckles)
Trust me,

368
00:13:45,392 --> 00:13:46,826
Missy's never gonna do
anything like this again.

369
00:13:46,927 --> 00:13:49,162
Aw, bless your heart.

370
00:13:49,262 --> 00:13:52,832
I'm serious.
School and home, that's it.

371
00:13:52,933 --> 00:13:56,169
No TV, no friends, no shoes.

372
00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:57,637
Let's see her
run away barefoot.

373
00:13:57,737 --> 00:14:01,208
That's your plan--
make her hate us even more?

374
00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:02,475
I'm not trying
to be her friend, Mary.

375
00:14:02,575 --> 00:14:03,911
I'm trying to be her parent.

376
00:14:04,011 --> 00:14:05,612
What do you think
I'm trying to be?

377
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:08,148
Oh, I don't know.
Her neighbor?

378
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:12,953
Is everything okay?

379
00:14:13,053 --> 00:14:14,587
Yes.

380
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,957
I've just been staying
across the street

381
00:14:17,057 --> 00:14:18,558
taking care of
our granddaughter.

382
00:14:18,658 --> 00:14:20,460
(chuckles) How long you gonna
keep using that excuse?

383
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,230
I am so sorry.
It's been a stressful week.

384
00:14:23,330 --> 00:14:25,966
You don't need to apologize.
I've been there.

385
00:14:26,066 --> 00:14:27,400
Right.

386
00:14:28,168 --> 00:14:30,737
I know it's not
my place, but...

387
00:14:30,837 --> 00:14:33,240
Barry and I used to keep
a bunch of stuff bottled up,

388
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:35,508
and we know how that turned out.

389
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,744
We're not getting divorced.

390
00:14:37,844 --> 00:14:39,112
Yeah, over my dead body.

391
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:41,548
Yeah, that's exactly
how it's gonna end.

392
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:44,251
Oh, boy.

393
00:14:45,585 --> 00:14:46,920
(sighs)

394
00:14:47,754 --> 00:14:50,223
What was Missy thinking?
Why Florida?

395
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:51,624
Why does it matter?

396
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:53,360
I made a solid hypothesis
backed by data.

397
00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:54,527
Where did I go wrong?

398
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:56,863
You tried to predict
a teenage girl.

399
00:14:58,999 --> 00:15:00,133
Perhaps when she gets back

400
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,701
we can take her in
for a brain scan.

401
00:15:01,801 --> 00:15:03,503
Maybe what Missy needs

402
00:15:03,603 --> 00:15:06,039
is for us all to be
a little understanding.

403
00:15:06,139 --> 00:15:07,307
I'm trying to understand.

404
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:08,741
That's why I need
the brain scan.

405
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:11,778
Look, your sister's
going through a lot these days.

406
00:15:11,878 --> 00:15:13,246
She's feeling overlooked,

407
00:15:13,346 --> 00:15:15,715
confused, angry, sad.

408
00:15:16,483 --> 00:15:18,418
She's feeling all those
things at once?

409
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:20,153
Yeah.

410
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:21,788
And I can't scan her brain?

411
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:23,656
That is so unfair.

412
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:26,159
So, what exactly
was your plan?

413
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,128
We were gonna
go to Daytona Beach.

414
00:15:28,228 --> 00:15:29,396
Like on MTV.

415
00:15:29,496 --> 00:15:30,897
And what were you
gonna do for money?

416
00:15:30,998 --> 00:15:32,499
I don't know.

417
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:34,267
We would have figured
something out.

418
00:15:34,367 --> 00:15:36,736
Yeah, she's an actual genius.

419
00:15:37,704 --> 00:15:38,805
Sorry.

420
00:15:38,905 --> 00:15:41,808
Don't get a lot of
geniuses back there.

421
00:15:41,908 --> 00:15:44,144
Mostly stupid folk.

422
00:15:44,911 --> 00:15:47,847
I'm just saying, I have a good
relationship with Missy.

423
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:50,417
Yeah, I taught her
how to throw a ball.

424
00:15:50,517 --> 00:15:51,951
Taught her how to drive.

425
00:15:52,052 --> 00:15:53,753
You taught her how to drive?

426
00:15:53,853 --> 00:15:55,555
Oh, uh...

427
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:57,857
You know, just the basics
in-in a parking lot.

428
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:00,427
Hey...

429
00:16:00,527 --> 00:16:01,694
She made it all the
way to Louisiana

430
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:03,063
without getting
into an accident.

431
00:16:03,163 --> 00:16:04,897
I think I did a
pretty good job.

432
00:16:04,998 --> 00:16:06,299
Unbelievable.

433
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:07,867
If y'all want, I can recommend

434
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,170
the marriage counselor
me and Barry used.

435
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:11,538
(snorts)

436
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:13,573
What's...
(snorts)

437
00:16:13,673 --> 00:16:16,043
Y'all got divorced.
(chuckles)

438
00:16:16,143 --> 00:16:17,377
How good can he be?

439
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:19,079
Well, she...

440
00:16:19,179 --> 00:16:21,114
(snorts)
Stop with the... (snorts)

441
00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:25,052
Oh, like she's not
gonna be on your side?

442
00:16:25,152 --> 00:16:26,653
It's not about sides.

443
00:16:26,753 --> 00:16:28,855
She helped us realize we were
staying in our marriage

444
00:16:28,955 --> 00:16:30,223
for the wrong reasons

445
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:32,092
and it would be better
for everyone if we split.

446
00:16:32,192 --> 00:16:34,694
I'm not sure
it was better for Paige.

447
00:16:36,196 --> 00:16:39,132
Paige's issues have nothing
to do with our divorce.

448
00:16:39,232 --> 00:16:40,733
Sure.

449
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:45,538
How much she have to pay the
counselor to tell her that?

450
00:16:47,774 --> 00:16:49,542
At least my daughter
didn't steal my truck,

451
00:16:49,642 --> 00:16:52,712
and none of my kids
are having babies.

452
00:16:53,613 --> 00:16:55,682
Okay, we all have our stuff.

453
00:16:55,782 --> 00:16:57,284
(snorts)

454
00:16:57,384 --> 00:16:58,785
Here comes another one.

455
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:03,056
(beeps)
Fifty-eight.

456
00:17:03,156 --> 00:17:04,590
How does it know?

457
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:06,593
It calculates the speed
based on the Doppler shift

458
00:17:06,693 --> 00:17:08,728
of the reflected radio waves.

459
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:10,762
See? Genius.

460
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,366
My brother's like that too,
but she's way more fun.

461
00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:15,702
(car whooshing)

462
00:17:16,569 --> 00:17:18,037
(beep)
Ninety-one.

463
00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:19,906
All right, buckle up.

464
00:17:20,006 --> 00:17:21,141
Yes!

465
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:23,410
(siren wailing)

466
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:25,578
MISSY:
Show me how to use your gun
and I'll cover you.

467
00:17:37,924 --> 00:17:40,393
If you need a break,
I can drive for a bit.

468
00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:41,961
I'm okay, thanks.

469
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:44,831
I could take a turn.
Not a time for jokes.

470
00:17:44,931 --> 00:17:46,466
You may never drive again.

471
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,068
And you are not hanging out
with Paige anymore.

472
00:17:49,169 --> 00:17:51,070
That's not fair.
It was my idea, not Paige's.

473
00:17:51,171 --> 00:17:53,206
You really think
that's helping your case?

474
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:55,942
Liked it better
when you two weren't talking.

475
00:17:56,042 --> 00:17:58,145
Well, too bad, 'cause we are.

476
00:17:58,245 --> 00:18:00,079
If you're feeling
ignored, don't worry.

477
00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:02,615
We're gonna be laser-focused
on you from now on.

478
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,318
ADULT SHELDON:
This marked the beginning of

479
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:06,853
what our family
would come to call

480
00:18:06,953 --> 00:18:09,088
"Missy's difficult period."

481
00:18:09,189 --> 00:18:10,223
Despite my repeated assurances

482
00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:11,691
that I could solve the problem

483
00:18:11,791 --> 00:18:13,626
with a brain scan
and some low-voltage

484
00:18:13,726 --> 00:18:15,228
electric shocks, I was

485
00:18:15,328 --> 00:18:18,565
never given the opportunity.
Such a shame.
