Gravity s01e06 Episode Script

Dogg Day Afternoon

Previously on Gravity Are you happy with the new meds?? I'm real happy.
You think you can break into that account And find out who's funding it? I think I can do it.
Cop or not, you can't just break into somebody's apartment! I discourage dating among members in the group.
It can confuse a delicate balance.
Are you seriously trying to tell me You're not gonna give me a $100 bet on the mets? You know I'm almost dead, right? We're all almost dead.
I've decided to take myself off of my meds.
Dogg, we talked about this.
In addition to mood stabilizers, It took a long time to find the right regimen For pain management since your accident.
Look, with all due respect, "a," it wasn't an accident.
I tried to kill myself on purpose.
And "b," it's been 20 years.
I think both the physical pain and the desire to kill myself Have passed by now.
Hmm.
If that's true, why do you still come here? Why do you still lead your support group? I'm a ball player.
In my day, even if they had steroids, I wouldn't have used them.
I'd have just worked harder.
How have you been feeling? I haven't been For a long time.
That's why I decided to take myself off the meds.
Okay, ladies and gents, gather around.
The alcoholics just beat the eating disorder team.
That means we beat the gamblers, We play for the title.
Robert, Lily, I want you to warm up with Ken in the outfield.
Ken is an alum of us for 10 years.
Suicide dummies on three.
1, 2, 3 Suicide dummies! Let's go! Ken.
Tried to kill myself after the first dot-com bust in '99.
And, no, it wasn't hari-Kari.
Too Japanese.
Just sleeping pills.
Lily.
Codeine.
You flatline? Yeah.
How long? 27 seconds.
Eh, that's not flatlining.
That's called holding your breath.
Over two minutes.
Two minutes I wish I had back now.
I hate playing the suicide survivors.
So grateful to be alive.
Recovery league, huh? Hmm? Yeah.
What are you guys? Druggies? Sex addicts? Clutterers? Blow me.
Gamblers.
Really? Hey, good luck, Mcfee.
Hey, don't forget to remind your team To, uh, "look alive out there.
" Tell your mama I said thanks for last night.
All right, come on, Bob.
Bob, let's go.
Oh, yeah! Nice play! Oh, shit! Mcfee, 3-0.
What happened? Ha! It's only the 3rd inning.
You just wait.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! That's it! That's my team! Okay, team, hang in there.
Bottom of the 6th.
Jorge, no more runs, okay? Keep it right there.
Oh! Adam! Are you okay?! Oh, my God! Time! Time! Robert: You're gonna be okay.
Let me just clean it out, though, to make sure.
Is there a first-aid Kit anywhere? That's it, Tony.
Fucking douchery.
What? It's not my fault.
Besides, I got a lot of money riding on this game.
Jesus.
Fucking Christ.
What? You know the rules.
You slip -- you made a bet? I can't play you.
I've got no choice but to pull you.
Out of the game.
Out of the game.
Time! Liane, take over at short.
Adam.
What's up, coach? I'm sorry, kid.
You played hurt and I'm proud of you.
Have a seat.
Who's gonna catch? Oh, I can't do this.
It ain't fair.
It's true.
You do hit like a little girl.
Try your best.
Jorge, give her a chance next time.
What's the matter? Your little titties got in your way? Forgot to wear your training bra today? Come on, Jorge.
Right down the pipe.
Down the pipe, Jorge.
Oh! Aah.
Aah! Damn! Aah.
Well, I got to start my recovery all over again thanks to you.
Now pay up.
Maybe you should think about putting a hat on that thing So you don't catch nothing next time.
Please, I've been celibate for two years.
Wow.
Maybe you got yourself a bigger problem.
Like what? I don't know.
Prostate cancer? What? I don't give a shit.
I'll -- I'll give the run and I'll take the mets anyway.
Give me 10 grand on them.
You better pray the mets win, because you are already in deep.
If you weren't a cop, We would have already come to settle up by now.
Yeah, whatever.
I'm not worried about it.
I got to go.
I got to go.
Jack, what do you got for me? Well, uh, your money trail is being well covered.
Your funds are being channeled through not one, But several different swiss bank accounts.
You gonna be able to find out who set them up? Forensic accounting takes some time, But I feel confident that I can do it.
Have -- have you never tried to do this before? Yeah, I did, and I could never find anything out.
Oh, well, I did find one thing out.
The -- the primary account that feeds your trust Was established in, let's see here, 1982.
That was the year my mother was killed.
All right, just keep going.
You're doing great.
So, she was born in the '40s, She flew airplanes, wrote a novel, And she never wanted children.
She sounds like she would have cool clothes, right? Hmm.
Wait.
You don't know this woman? No.
So how did you find - the paper.
So we don't -- shh! I knew I would have liked her.
You speak Italian? No.
Gee, Lily, you're amazing.
I know.
Yeah, what did you say to get him to give you all her clothes? Gelato.
Hey, can I ask you something? How did you feel at the funeral? Great.
I'm so glad we went, aren't you? What the fuck? Fuck! Fuck! Move your fucking car! Fuck you.
Move.
Move your fucking move your fucking car! Fuck.
Huh? Fuck me? How about fuck me? How about fuck me?! Okay.
"for a digital rectal exam, or d.
R.
E.
, "a gloved, lubricated finger is inserted into the rectum "to feel for any bumps or hard areas On the prostate that may be cancer.
" Okay, so Maybe not.
I don't know.
Whose glove even is this? Top of the 9th.
Two outs.
Runners at second and third.
Mets leading 4-3.
The winner, of course, a spot in the world series.
The pitch.
Fly ball, center field.
Doggy mcfee.
This is it.
No! He dropped the ball! He dropped the ball! The two runs score, and the mets lose 5-4.
'83 season, goodbye.
Mets lose the pennant four games to three.
What a time to commit the error of your career.
I can't imagine What could be going through dogg mcfee's head right now.
Two hands, doggy! How about trying to catch it with two hands? Bad, dogg.
Let's go to the videotape.
Aah! I don't get it, dogg.
You're our leader.
It wasn't 'cause of that stupid softball game, was it? It brought me back to a bad place.
I was raised that Money comes and goes But familyIs forever.
I wasn't around a lot when my son was growing up.
It broke my wife's heart.
And I haven't spoken to either of them for a long time.
Let's go to a mets game.
You can get us seats, right, dogg? That was your team, wasn't it? Yeah, but I don't have any interest In going to a mets game.
The person who walked in here Will try to kill themselves again if they don't change.
Are you exempt? Third base side, please.
Oh, I got to take this.
Hello? Okay, great.
We will see you Tuesday at 4:30.
Okay, bye-bye.
I think I did excellently on that test.
Looks like you did.
We'll be with you in a minute.
Thanks.
Take your time.
I'm here to see Dr.
Tepperman.
Great.
Just fill this out.
No, I'm a patient of his, And I have an appointment right now! Okay, I understand, ma'am.
Just fill this out, have a seat, and we'll be with you shortly.
Oh, fine.
I don't understand the point of making an appointment If I'm being made to sit around and wait By you stupid people! I'm going to the bathroom.
When I come out, I'll be ready for my fucking appointment.
Mr.
Miller? We're ready for you now.
I'm afraid I have prostate cancer.
Well, you jump right in, don't you? So do I.
Why in the world would you ever think You have prostate cancer? Well, I'm -- I'm just having a lot of problems urinating.
I mean, I'm going a lot, And then sometimes I have to go and I can't go when I'm there, Or I go and it hurts.
Listen, I've seen all those fucking middle-aged golfer Enlarged-prostate commercials, And I'm neither old or a golfer.
All right, Detective, let me tell you something.
There are a thousand reasons You may be having trouble peeing.
They have nothing to do with cancer.
Okay, but, doctor Yes? I felt hard area some hard areas -- And some bumps on my prostate.
I'm sure I'm gonna regret asking this, But how did you come to feel your own prostate? Well, usually, it's just for pleasure.
You know, an occasional part of my masturbatory repertoire.
Fascinating.
Tell me more.
This time, I was actually administering A-a self-examination.
Naturally.
With yourFinger? Yeah, well, I mean, I started with my finger, And then I-I couldn't find it, So I figured that maybe I needed a-a longer implement, Okay.
So I got a-a long-handled -- What do you call it when you make brownies? You got me.
Spatula, like a wooden spoon or something, And then ended up with a, you know, a broom handle.
I'm just kidding.
Oh, God.
About the broom handle.
I thought about it.
I was gonna go there next, but thought I would call you first.
You made a wise move, kidding about the broom.
It's a good joke, too.
Very unusual for a man to Joke about that.
Is the only way to find out about this Is to do the - the - Dex-- Dex-- What do you call it? Dexterity exam? It's called very unpleasant.
That's all you need to know.
There's a Latin term for it Which means "I don't want to do this," But believe me, it tells us a lot, So just lie down, face the window.
You may feel a little pressure, A little tug, a little push, Although apparently that won't be an entirely new sensation for you.
We'll go on the count of three, all right? Just relax.
1, 2 Whoop! There we go.
I always shave a second off for the new guys.
So, what, are you a baseball fan? Yankees? Mets? Motherfucker.
Stop! All right.
What about football? Doctor, get your finger out of my fucking ass right now! Ow, ow, ow, ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Yo, police! Get out of the fucking van! Get out of the fucking van! Let me see your hands! Let me see your fucking hands.
Easy now.
Easy, easy, pal, all right? You don't look like no cop, okay? Yo, doctor.

Tepperman, get my badge and my gun.
It's in my - my badge and my gun.
It's in my pants.
Bring it to the window.
Bring it to the window.
You see that? All right, yeah, yeah.
Give me the fucking keys! I don't want any trouble.
Why are you following me? I'm not following you.
Don't lie to me! Why the fuck are you following me? I will fucking kill you! Look, look, look, look.
Here's my work order, huh? I don't know what you're talking about.

Hey, dogg, you want a hot dog? So, dogg, how long has it been Since you've seen your old team play? Not since, you know, my days as a player.
And this sure ain't Shea.

Thanks.
Pleasure to meet you.
Fuck you! You know, if it wasn't for your sorry ass Dropping that fly ball, we would have won the pennant.
Yeah, you got some nerve coming to a met game.
Look at you.
You couldn't even kill yourself right.
You fucked that up, too.
You're a loser.
Yeah, I'm gonna fuck you up, too.
Yeah? You want to go dancing? Come on.
We'll go out tonight, me and you.
Step the fuck back.
This man hit .
320 With 42 homers and 138 ribbies that year.
The mets would have never been in the position they were in If it wasn't for him.
In the game you were speaking of, He tied that game in the 8th inning With a two-out, two-run homer off their closer While the rest of his teammates left 13 men on base.
dropping that ball was a small part of their loss, You stupid revisionist bitch.
You want to know what I see now? I see a skinny Negro who's about to catch a beating If you don't get the fuck out of my face! What the fuck you just call me? No, no, no, son.
Please, don't.
He just saved your fucking life.
So now that'd make him even with you, right? One lost game For one lost soul.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Get the fuck out of here.
What you doing here? I heard you was coming to your first game in a while, And I just thought I'd stop past and say hi.
Hi.
You came strapped with your boys.
come on, dad, that's 24/7.
How we do.
Look, I love you, son, And I appreciate you coming out here to see me, But I can't be in your life if you gonna roll like this.
And why is that again? Because that's not the way I raised you.
Oh, that's precious.
You ain't raise me at all.
They did.
Same old dogg.
You ain't no different from that drunk fuck.
Man, you can't see the forest for the trees, man.
That's my son.
Do you ever cry? What? It's okay to cry, you know? It's good for you.
I don't just mean emotionally.
I mean, the ability to cry is a sign of healthy eyes.
I mean, if you have blocked tear ducts, Maybe I can prescribe some drops for you.
I'm fine.
My tear ducts are fine.
The funeral? I mean, you didn't even seem to get moved.
I was sad.
I mean, it was sad.
And then dogg almost killed himself and you're texting.
His son shows up for the first time in who knows how long, And you're like, "oh, they don't get along.
Oh, well.
That's too bad.
Whatever.
" You would think that you'd be happy to be with a woman Who isn't weepy all the time.
I thought men were supposed to hate that.
Do you ever feel moved about anything? Why haven't I been to your apartment yet? Or met your friends? Or your mother? Are you ashamed of me? No.
Well, you're so all about my emotional inadequacies.
What about yours? I'm not ready yet.
For what? To let you into parts of my life That I only shared with my wife.
You know what? It's late.
We're both very tired.
I think we should just talk tomorrow.
Yeah, sure.
Look, I'm -- I'm It's fine.
Are we okay? Of course.
You know, you should have a little more faith in me.
I have faith in you.
No, you don't.
But you will one day.
You okay? uh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm good.
What - what are you doing here? Well, I have brought you a gift.
It's a scarf.
It could be a-a place mat.
I don't know.
Girls probably know about that.
It was my aunt's.
She was a very sweet, sweet little bitty creature.
Uh, it's for your store.
So I wanted you to have it.
I don't know if it's good.
Or you can wear it if it's your particular style.
Thank you.
It's -- that's very sweet of you.
I apologize for, you know, breaking into your apartment.
I'm just very protective of you, and I was -- I was worried.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Thank you for finding dogg's son today.
Oh, yeah.
Sure.
No problem.
Did anything happen with that? No.
Have you been crying? God, no.
No.
