01x10 - Redbird

[bunniefuu]

[Caitlyn] Previously
on Motorheads...

[Zac] Why is Ray next to me?

- [Logan] Well, you're racing him.
- Yeah!

- You don't matter.
- [Zac] But I will

when I beat your a*s in a race.

- Are you challenging me to a race?
- [Curtis] It's finished.

- [Zac] Did Dad ever race for pinks?
- [Logan] Never.

Legends don't need trophies.

[Zac] If our dad was
hiding out somewhere,

might as well be a place
called Spider Lake.

[Ray] There's something
you deserve to know.

- 'Bout what?
- Pop.

[Ezra] Private car collection
in town worth 10 million.

We need that security code.

So he just wants his money?

- I know where it is.
- What?

I helped him bury it.

[thunderclap]

Promise me you'll
come back to us.

I promise.

Not gonna lie.

You kinda guilt-tripped me
about keeping secrets...

You knew where the money was.

That's a bigger secret.

You're the reason
he drove the car.

Without you, there
are no secrets.

- [sighs]
- Look. After this is over,

I'm gonna figure out
what we're gonna do next.

What does that mean?

When Cate and Zac find out, they're
probably not gonna wanna live with you.

Can we just get this over with?

Tomorrow night.

Why not now?

'Cause I don't have a shovel.

How do you not have a shovel?

It was in the trunk
of my Mustang.

Well, let's just
go get shovels now.

After midnight?

You ever seen
those m*rder shows?

If you buy a shovel after midnight, I
think they need to report it to the FBI.

That is not true.

Hey.

Or maybe it is true.

Okay, fine. Tomorrow night.

[breathes deeply]

I'll buy the shovels.

["Here's To You Kid" playing]

What do you guys think?

["Here's To You Kid"
continues playing on speakers]

Do you like it?

Please say something.

It's perfect.

You're a magician.

- Well I prefer artist, but thank you, Zac.
- [chuckles]

Looks great, man.

[Marcel sighs]

Uh, Cate.

- Um, what did you want here again?
- Oh, I want it to be just like it was.

- The initials, CM. For Christian Maddox.
- Yeah.

Or for Caitlyn Maddox.

[sighs] You've come a long way.

Yeah, we are who we are.

[chuckles]

So, how long is this
gonna take to dry?

Uh, like, 24 to 48
hours... [sighs]

...but I think we can take it
for a spin tomorrow after school.

[sighs]

So, what do we do
until then? [chuckles]

We could go bowling.

I gotta get home.

I actually have my own ball.

[sighs] I'm gonna
go walk the track.

- What track?
- Where I'm racing Harris.

Dude, it's a road.

Logan said to always
walk the track.

Can I come?

I thought you were
going bowling.

[train horn blowing in distance]

[Zac grunts]

How far are we walking?

- A quarter mile. [sighs]
- Oh.

Both ways.

- Well, why both ways?
- I don't know which lane I'm gonna be in.

[sighs] I should've put
on more comfortable shoes.

What?

What are you looking for?

Imperfections.

- Like that?
- [sighs] Yeah.

- What are you looking for now?
- A landmark.

That way I can
avoid this pothole.

Like that sign over there.

So what happens if you lose?

Well... [sighs] ...then Harris is
as good as everyone says he is.

U-Uncle Logan said that if you get beat,
you know, you tip your hat to the winner.

Then what?

Work harder. [chuckles]

I was really hoping to get that
design internship in New York.

- I thought I was pretty good at it.
- [chuckles] You are.

Yeah. I'm just not
great at anything.

Dude, did you not see your
paint job on the Charger?

Hmm. That was just
from watching Logan.

[sighs]

Did you hear my dad's
coming home soon?

Yeah. Yeah. That's a...
That's a good thing. Right?

Yeah. Yeah.

O-Obviously, I miss him, but...

it's been really cool
living with you guys.

[chuckles] Dude, you
can crash anytime.

Well, maybe don't mention crashing while
walking this road before your race.

[chuckles]

Oh. There's another pothole.

[inhales sharply]

If it's dangerous,
why take the risk?

Everything's about taking risks.

Otherwise why are we here?

Yeah.

[bird chirping]

[birdsong]

- You're here more than I am.
- Hey, Buzz.

I still think kids your age ought
to be hanging out at the mall,

not some old junkyard.

Hey, look, if you can find a time machine
to take me to the '80s, I'll go to a mall.

[both chuckle]

I finished rebuilding
the Charger.

And yet here you are.

I like it here.

Your... Your dad, he used to...

He used to come here a lot.

We rebuilt the same car.

Well, two of my best customers.

All time.

[sighs] You know what though?

You still haven't
given Dottie a spin.

Driving's not really my thing.

No, no, no, no, no.
It's not about that.

Dottie will teach
you a lesson or two.

It may come in handy some day.

I mean, I guess I always have
wondered what's under her hood.

Ooh. Plenty.

- Can I see?
- Uh-uh. She's bashful.

Oh, what happened to me
being your best customer?

[chuckling]

[breathes deeply]

Okay, Dottie.
Packing some punch.

So, what do you say?

["HOT TO GO!" playing]

[Caitlyn whimpers]
Oh, my God. [chuckles]

[squealing, chuckling]

[chuckles]

Oh, my God.

[squeals, panting]

[squealing]

So, why did you
wanna have dinner?

Do I need a reason?

[scoffs]

[sighs]

[stammers] Your dad and I heard
that you broke up with Noah.

So, where is Dad?

He... [sighs] ...felt that this was
more of a one-on-one type conversation.

- Okay. Thanks.
- Thank you.

Noah actually came
to see us today.

He said that you've been acting a little
differently for the past couple of months.

- Differently?
- Confused maybe.

Since the new kids came to town.

Okay, well, I broke up with Noah
because he's not really my type.

Not that it's any
of your business.

[chuckles] Okay.

So what is your type?

[scoffs]

Caitlyn.

She's my type.

[inhales deeply]

Let Dad know how
the one-on-one went.

[door opens]

[door opens]

Winter break's coming up soon.

Yeah.

Maybe we could get some
work in on the boat.

Have it ready for summer.

That was the plan, but...

But not anymore?

Think I might go to New York.

Brooke's gonna be there. She
invited me to come along.

Your mother know about it?

Yeah.

What did she say?

No.

Well, there's your answer then.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Excuse me?

Ray told me.

[inhales deeply]
Hoped he wouldn't.

Does Mom know about that?

She knows that, uh...

that I-I made mistakes.

A lot of 'em,

but I-I turned my life around.

- Curtis, you were my second chance.
- Oh, more like a do-over.

What-Whatever you wanna
call it. I'm grateful.

I can't look at Caitlyn
anymore because of you.

How can I?

My dad is the reason
she doesn't have a dad.

What did Ray tell you?

Everything.

Well, Ray doesn't
know everything.

No one does.

Not even me.

Sit down, and I will
tell you what I know.

Okay?

["Black Gold"
playing on speakers]

They got a dartboard here.

- So?
- You play darts?

You mean, do I throw darts?

- You throw darts?
- No.

Rack 'em.

Made a decision yet?

Well, I guess I'm driving,

because I can't
get you that code.

Nobody can. Flip. [sighs]

Dude, those cars are in a pitch-black room
that lights up when you say "illuminate."

[chuckles] Demolition Man?

It's high-tech sh*t.

Hey, if I'm driving, I
wanna know who else is.

Well, we got all four now.

There's you, Ray,
my daughter Ryan,

and some rich kid,
Harris Bowers.

How'd he get wrapped up in this?

Ryan says he's the best.

She says that your
nephew's pretty good too.

Could be better
than the Bowers kid.

Guess we'll find out soon.

What's that supposed to mean?

They're racing.

Your nephew's driving your
brother's old Charger.

- Think fast.
- [gasps]

So, I hear you're
officially single.

Copycat.

And you're already moving on.

No, I haven't.

Okay, so as long as you don't put
a label on your thing with Zac,

you haven't really moved on?

- Pretty much.
- [chuckling]

I'm proud of you, though.

Thanks.

Noah went to my parents.

No, he didn't.

Yeah, he said I've been acting differently
since the new kids moved to town.

- Was he trying to out you?
- Probably.

So I confirmed their suspicions.

Kiara.

And now they're
really acting weird.

- Wait, weird how?
- Like the conversation never happened.

- Denial?
- Probably.

That, or I imagined
the whole thing.

Don't let them gaslight you.

Yeah. Either way, I
feel so much better.

Good. [breathes deeply]

So what now?

Winter break.

Sad news, guys.

I'll be showing our final
informational video of the semester.

[class cheering, applauding]

Okay, these videos have
saved countless lives. Okay?

But I've saved the
best one for last.

This video is a time-lapse

featuring a total rebuild of a
classic car from the '70s. [chuckles]

Are you kidding me? Oh, my God.

We just finished the rebuild and now
he wants to show us a video of this.

Something you'd like
to share, Miss Torres?

Uh, just...

nominating you for
the Bad Timing Awards.

- [students chuckling]
- [chuckling] Oh, thank you.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

I feel like I'm, like,
being ghosted in person.

I mean, is that a thing?

Is this about,

like, Brooke and New York, or...

What, since you're done with
the car, you're done with me?

[sighs] Stuff with my dad.

Okay.

- How was the junkyard?
- [chuckles]

I drove Dottie.

- No way.
- I did.

How 'bout that clutch?

- Dude, my ankle still hurts. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]

What'd she teach you?

Something about staying
in neutral. [chuckles]

I don't know. Zac's
lesson was way better.

Time's up, buddy.

- Aren't you suspended, bro?
- Not anymore.

- When are we doing this?
- You tell me.

Is your car ready?

Yeah. It's loud.

Who cares if it's loud?

Well, I just thought it
was relevant information...

Stop. Tomorrow night.

Done. [sighs]

- We're racing for pinks?
- No.

- It's my sister's car.
- Okay.

How about if I win...

stay away from Alicia.

What? I'm not racing
for Alicia, bro.

No, I'm not saying the winner gets
her, just that the loser doesn't.

- No.
- Just think it over, okay?

Alicia or your
sister's dad's car.

- [stammers] What do I get if I win?
- You can have my car.

[sighs]

Legends don't need trophies.

I hate asking this, 'cause it feels
like a salt-in-the-wound situation,

but since I'm going to New York,

do you mind picking up some
of my shifts while I'm gone?

Sure.

Thank you.

Bet it's gonna be fun there.

So what's next for you?

- You're the first person to ask me that.
- Well?

- Uh, I don't really know.
- Huh.

It's a good thing that
nobody's asked you then.

Maybe next time, you'll
have an answer ready to go.

Well, with the car, we were all working
together towards this big moment,

and now that it's over I'm-I'm
worried everything's gonna change.

'Cause Curtis is going
to New York with you,

Zac's getting into
racing at the speedway,

and Caitlyn's gonna
find a new project.

So, I don't know what
that means for me.

What do you love?

- I don't know.
- Yes, you do. [chuckles]

- Design, I guess.
- Yeah.

Yeah, so take your free time over winter
break and work on some new designs.

I won't have that much time, since
I'll be covering all your shifts.

- Dude. [chuckles]
- [chuckles] Sorry.

It's simple, I think.

Find something you love. Focus on
it. Nothing else deserves your time.

Hmm.

- It's weird seeing you outside the garage.
- [chuckles]

Nothing to work on.

Feeling lost?

Just wondering
what's next for me.

Like I said, I wish I knew.

Too bad I'm not
into sports, huh?

Your dad played sports.

- No, he didn't.
- Yeah.

Played baseball.

- [chuckling] No way.
- Freshman year.

I didn't know that.

- Maybe you should try out for a team.
- Yeah, right.

[scoffs] It's not for me.

Was he a Pirates fan?

Redbirds.

- Who?
- He liked the Cardinals.

Wait, that's so weird.

I just saw a cardinal yesterday.

I was at the junkyard.

'Course you were.

Finally drove Dottie.

What'd she teach you?

[sighs] According to Buzz,

I stay in neutral for too long.

Got to put it in drive.

Solid analysis.

So, you gonna put it in drive?

I'm working on it.

[chuckles]

- Okay. Fuel pump patterns look good.
- [device beeps]

Ignition, good.

- Amp draw is optimal.
- [device beeps]

- And the air flow is great.
- [device beeping]

This must be hard for you.

What?

Well, it used to be
your car. I get it.

But now you're like an
ex-boyfriend hanging around

watching your girl
with someone new.

It can't be fun.

Ain't that what you're doing?

Your girl's hanging out with
the dude that you're racing.

- What do you know about that?
- Oh, I pay attention.

We gotta be somewhere.

- Where?
- [Ryan] Not you.

Meet and greet time. I'll drive.

- Still getting the car ready.
- It's ready.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

- [engine revs]
- Ready?

[Caitlyn, Zac chuckle]

- [Zac chuckles]
- Wait, where's the car?

Maybe it was the fumes from the paint
job? Logan probably took it outside.

I-I'll go check.

- [sighing] Yeah.
- Zac, what's happening?

- Just relax.
- Well, it's gone. I'm freaking out.

Okay. It's probably
outside. Chill.

- It's not outside.
- Oh, my God. What?

Just breathe. Please.

It's really gone.

[sighs]

[Caitlyn] Where is it?

- It's gone.
- Gone?

- What do you mean, "it's gone?"
- I've spent hundreds of hours on that car.

Both of you have been
lying to me for months.

Caitlyn, you lied right to my face
when I asked if you were racing it.

Zac, I've been training you, even
though I knew it was a mistake.

You were gonna take everything I
taught you and race my brother's car.

Our dad's car that I rebuilt.

Well, it's gone. No race.

- You can't do this.
- I did it.

If you want, I can get your mom out
here and see who she agrees with.

[sighs]

I didn't think so.

Marcel, you betrayed me too.

- [sighs] It's okay.
- [mumbles]

[Caitlyn] Okay, so
we call off the race.

[sighs] Hopefully, not too
many people know about it.

Everybody knows about it.

What? How?

Well, a massive
group text went out.

- [sighs] Oh, God.
- Still not on that.

It wasn't my fault this time.

Maybe I can just respond
to the big group text

- that the race isn't happening?
- [sighs] It's gonna look like I bailed.

How did Logan find out?

- Maybe he was...
- Don't say it.

- ...on the group text?
- [sighs]

Should be here.

[Zac sighs]

[engine revs]

Okay, this is Harris.

And this is my dad.

Hey.

Ryan says you're the best.

- Oh, I know someone who's better.
- Who?

I think we all know who.

Find out tomorrow.

Oh, you didn't hear?

[scoffs] Wait, you stole
it before I could beat it?

No, I'm just keeping it safe,

and, uh... [inhales sharply]

...you were never
gonna beat that thing.

[scoffs]

Ryan tell you what the job is?

[gasps] Alicia?

Welcome to the team, kid.

[phone chiming, buzzing]

Dude, your phone is blowing up.

Yeah, I sent out the
"race is off" text.

I've gotten back 71 poop emojis, 14
poop GIFs, which are pretty gross...

- Mmm.
- ...and Homer Simpson backing into a bush.

That last one was me.

- Just trying to fit in.
- You never try to fit in.

It's a rare quality. You actually
have a lot in common with Caitlyn.

I'm not sure about that.

[chuckles] More than
you know. Trust me.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

Marcel.

[stammers] It's old news.

[sighs] God, I'm so
bad with secrets,

but I don't even know if
this ever was a secret.

- You're probably just making it worse.
- Um.

So a long time ago,
like a long time,

Curtis had a thing for Caitlyn.

Oh.

Like, forever ago. [chuckles]

Didn't she just move
here a few months ago?

Ye... I didn't
look at a calendar.

- But she friend zoned him...
- Huh.

...and now he's into you.

He is?

Well, he's going to New
York with you, right?

- Yeah.
- See.

It's old news. Nothing
to worry about.

Are the... These are...

Yeah. These are garden shovels.

What? Too small?

Did you get a deal or something?

Two for one in the
gardening section.

Look, I just wanted
to get this over with.

- Me too.
- [sighs]

We get the money tonight.

Hopefully, Ezra calls
off this thing tomorrow.

Everybody wins.

Nobody wins.

Can I ask you something?

Were you just gonna
leave it there?

Buried forever?

It's not mine.

You think Christian's
still out there?

[inhales deeply] No.

Do you?

He'd have come back by now.

[sighs]

Sam, I don't want you
and the kids to leave.

You three are the best
thing I have in my life.

I'm...

I'm a better man
with you all here.

[phone buzzing]

- Hey.
- It's happening.

I know. Tomorrow.

- Now.
- What?

Ezra moved it up a day.

[sighs]

It was always gonna be today.

Yeah, he's smarter than
I remember. [sighs]

[sighs]

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I'll see you tonight.

Hey.

Um, sorry about the
gardening shovels.

You did great.

Hey, dude. Y-You
going to the diner?

- Actually, I'm looking for you.
- Really?

What's going on?

Gotta talk about
my dad and Logan.

[sighs] Dude, I don't want to
talk about Logan right now.

I don't wanna talk
about my dad right now,

but I think we should set that aside,
'cause they're both in big trouble.

Trouble?

Something's about to go down.

- That doesn't sound like Logan.
- Yeah, it's the old Logan.

All right, I've only heard stories,
but, well, he was telling me some stuff.

- Bro, what are you talking about?
- It's about the bank robbery.

What? Logan has nothing
to do with that, bro.

Yeah, I just found out my
dad planned the whole thing.

He needed a driver,
so Logan gave him one.

No. [chuckles] What?

- There-There's... There's no way. No.
- He was in the car.

He was in the car sitting
right beside your dad.

We all saw the video.

All of this is
because of my dad.

I'm sorry, man.

What else do you know?

- Logan?
- No time, Zac.

I know what you're about to do.

Ray told Curtis.

How much did he tell you?

Pick up. Listen. Don't talk.

[sighs] Damn it.
[inhales sharply]

I guess we got a lot to
talk about, but right now...

Please, don't go.

Man, I have to. If I don't
go, our whole world blows up.

I-I can help.

No.

- But I... [stammers]
- Not a discussion.

I'm already late.

[breathes heavily]
So you're a driver?

Look, i-i-it was either that
or-or the security code.

Right?

[sighs]

The whiteboard's double-sided.

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

- You're late.
- I'm sending you something now.

- [phone chimes]
- Is that what I think it is?

Punch it in and find out.

How'd you get it?

Don't worry about it.

Well, we only have
three drivers now.

It's not my problem.

And when you're done, get
the hell out of my town.



Logan came through?

Alicia's birthday.

How sweet. Guess I'm
driving now. [sighs]

You said you could get us into
the upstairs garage. You good?

- Why aren't we waiting for darkness?
- [Ryan] Nobody's home.

It's now or never.

Let's move.

["USA Today" playing]

- [Ryan] You been in here before?
- [Harris] Yeah. Illuminate.

[panting] I disabled
the cameras.

[chuckles]

Nobody needs this many trophies.

This ain't even his
entire toy collection.

Apparently, he
rotates it every week.

All right, everybody
pick a winner.

Hey.

- You awake?
- Of course.

[engine starts]

[engine revs]

This is the fun part.

- [engine revving]
- [engine starts]

[phone chimes]

[phone ringing]

[Zac] Harris. [sighs]

Look, man, I-I know I'm the last
voice you want to hear from right now,

but wherever you are you
can walk away from this.

Y-You don't need this, bro.

And if you get caught, your
life will change in an instant.

Trust me.

And then we'll
never get our race.

This has always been
about you and me.

Don't you want to find
out who's the best?

I know that I do.

["Shiver" playing]

Feel like ever since we finished the
car, you've been pulling away from me.

- I'm figuring out how to tell you.
- Tell me what?

Look, I know when you told me
you liked me, I pushed you away.

And now you're with Brooke,

and I thought I'd be okay
with it, but I'm not.

What?

My lesson from Dottie was
to get out of neutral.

Put it in drive.

[scoffs] Buzz is
just a crazy old man.

He might be a genius,

because I have been in neutral.

With you.

I was so focused on the car

and not wanting to mess it
up, but the car's finished.

And now I just want
to hit the gas.

Wasn't that Zac's
lesson from Dottie...

What's wrong?

How you're looking
at me right now.

It's how I always look at you.

I know.

That's the look of someone who
doesn't know what I'm about to say.

You grew up without a dad.

And I know it affected you.

You've got this tough exterior, but every
part of you wishes he was in your life.

[scoffs] So?

So...

[stammers] You grew
up without a dad

because of my dad.

- What?
- It was his bank job,

and he needed a driver.

[sighs]

That YouTube video?

That's my dad in the front seat.

I should've taken
a picture before.

Your face after that kiss.

'Cause I'll never
see that look again.

I want the sheriff
here right now.

They got three of my cars.

They left my Ferrari abandoned
on the side of the street.

They got my security code.

I don't know how they
got my security code.

That's for you to figure out.

Do your job!

What's going on?

Someone used the security code
and stole four of my cars.

Not even mom knows that code.

Just me and you.

You didn't tell anybody
about that, did you?

It's my birthday.

- Today?
- No, the code.

- 0105.
- January 5th. Noted.

No. I didn't tell anybody.

Good.

Love the industrial windows.

I know.

- Real fireplace?
- No.

- [smacks lips] Still looks cool.
- Mmm.

[gasps] Hey.

We were just looking at pictures
of the apartment in Brooklyn.

You are going to love it.

[Marcel] It's pretty great.

[Brooke] Are you okay?

I can't go.

To New York?

Oh.

No reason?

I wish I had a good
one. I-I don't.

Is it because of Caitlyn?

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

[phone chimes, buzzes]

[phone rings]

[Harris] You were right.

This has always been about
you and me. Nobody else.

So let's settle this.

Tonight.

I know where your dad's car is.

You shouldn't be here, kid.

I need my dad's car.

Ah. Babysitting it for Logan.

- Does he know you're babysitting that one?
- That one's not his anymore.

[sighs]

Neither is that one.

You know I can't
let you have it.

I just beat you. Remember?

Now you owe me a car.

[chuckles]

[birdsong]

Hidden gem.

Is this a Datsun Z?

An original Z. 240.

Can't tell 'cause it's
faded after all these years,

but it used to be cardinal red.

You looking for a new project?

Maybe.

Yeah, I know that look.

Question is... [sniffs]

...who's gonna race this one?

Hey.

Hi.

I'm sorry about Curtis.

It's fine. I mean, I'm gonna
be so busy with classes,

and it's not like I'm gonna have
free time for anything else, so...

- I'll go.
- What?

Would you believe I've
never been to New York?

I would believe that. [chuckles]

- I'll go.
- What?

You know, if you need

[both chuckle]

But a pretty fun winter break.

- [chuckles] Yeah.
- [chuckles]

What are we doing here?

- No way.
- Yes.

This whole time the money's
been right here in my spot.

My spot.

Unbelievable.

Feels light.

What?

- Nothing.
- It's empty.

[Sam pants]

There's no money.

What's that?

[Logan] Must've come back,
took the money and left this.

That's me and Christian
on a lake in Michigan.

Our folks used to take
us there every summer.

Spider Lake.

He came back for the

[engine revving]

- It is loud.
- [chuckles]

Still not relevant.

Guess we'll find out.

On three.

[engines revving]

["Outro" playing]

- [engine revs]

[car horn honks]

[tires, brakes squealing]

[brakes squeal]

Harris!

[phone buzzing]

Hello?
