Windfall s01e10 Episode Script

ly onWindfall We need to be together.
Meaning divorce my husband.
It's time.
Cameron, I'm leaving Peter.
I'm going to be with you.
Colin why not take a test, right here, right now? It's not gonna happen.
Because you're still doping.
FRANKIE: Okay, this whole thing was worth it for that alone.
I don't have a home, Damien.
I already talked to my father.
You can stay with my family as long as you need.
I like being here.
I like you being here.
I'm glad.
Don't talk to him, Tally.
Don't believe a word out of his mouth.
He only came to you for the money.
Zoe, please help me understand what happened.
You can't do this.
SEAN: You're only taking one thing that matters to me.
SEAN: I want a lawyer.
Last time you were brought in on the issue of Ms.
Reida you were represented by a Dave Park.
You want to call him? TALLY: Dave Park was my sister's lawyer.
She trusted him.
He was supposed to help her.
And you think he killed her why, exactly? Sean said he was blackmailing her.
Sean says Park's in debt.
Sean.
The guy whose lottery money your sister took.
So you offered the victim, Zoe Reida, half your winnings-- ten million dollars-- and she just bolts with all of it.
That would've pissed me off.
How'd you get the scratch on your face? They were arguing.
He grabbed her, and then we took off.
Because you were afraid? No.
Zoe was, but she was wrong or greedy or both.
I think she wanted all the money.
His money.
Where is it now? She had it with her.
I emptied out all the accounts myself, almost ten million dollars in bills and these offshore bonds.
You didn't find it? Nope.
We just need a DNA swab.
Had that done before, huh? Yes or no, am I under arrest? I've looked at your record, Sean, and I think I got you figured out.
I've seen a lot of bad guys, and you're not one of them.
You're just unlucky.
Yeah, right.
Kind of guy that's in the wrong place at the worst possible time keeping really bad company.
I repeat, am I under arrest? Not yet.
But we'd like you to answer some more questions.
I've got some Come on, let's get out of here.
I can't.
The detective's just taking a break.
She told me to get a soda.
All right, fine, I'll wait.
No, no, you go, I'll meet you back at your place.
Do they think that I did it? Fate smiles Everything changes Gifts fall from the sky An open door I'm wanting more Anything you want, anything you need Make a wish and it just might happen to you For better or worse Is it a gift or a curse? Make a wish and it just might happen to you.
VIOLET: I wonder where Captain Hook lives on the ship.
DAISY: Right in here.
What's gonna happen to Peter Pan tonight, Daddy? Don't you girls want to hear a different story? No! No! Okay well NINA: I'm leaving my husband.
I've decided that.
I'm here to ask how.
Go on.
Well, how do I do it without pulling apart my children's lives? Destroying my family? You're pulling your family apart.
What you need to do is reorder it.
We'll talk about rituals, routines that you can start now that don't include your husband.
So when the kids are in a new home-- a single-parent situation-- there'll be some familiarity.
( telephone rings ) Hello? Sure.
Peter.
Honey, it's the team doctor.
Hello.
Hey.
Scott Kaplan from Colorado.
Just following protocol, let you know that Colin had a fall.
He was out of action yesterday, but back on the bike today.
Looks great.
So, um Yeah, wait a minute.
What was wrong with him? Just abrasions, minor lacerations.
I'll fax my notes.
So why was he down for a day? Uh, sorry.
( clears throat ) He was bleeding.
You couldn't stop that bleeding.
That's a question, Dr.
Kaplan.
Mr.
Schaeffer, the men on this team are my patients.
Save the doctor-patient confidentiality for your own practice.
That is my team.
You work for me.
But not for much longer if I don't get a straight answer.
Is Colin taking a blood thinner? Possibly.
That's all I need to know.
Look, I I got to catch a plane.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to take, you know, more than an afternoon, take a few days off with the kids.
It's okay.
And you.
I'll make this up to you.
WOMAN: Tell me about the third party.
NINA: Cameron? You said you'd been with him in the past.
It was high school and some college.
He went, I didn't.
And when you broke up, how was that for you? It nearly killed me.
CAL BRUNNER: She understands it's only for a few nights.
DAMIEN: Yeah, Dad.
Because our rec room is not a hotel.
Mom.
No, Mom You know what, if you're saying it's stay with Dad or go back to New York, I'll get on a bus right now and you'll never see me again.
Okay.
She wants to talk to you.
Hi, this is Cal Brunner, Damien's father.
Hi.
Excuse me, Mrs I ( stammers ) That wasn't my That wasn't my idea.
I told my son not to She said I could stay for a week, and then we'll see.
You want me to call him? But, uh isn't he your? Sorry.
Used to be your "Oh, I've been advised not to speak with my ex-husband.
" Okay.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I'll, uh, I'll, uh, I'll I'll tell her.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Bye.
She's actually not as bad as she sounds.
Anyway uh, she says she's turning your credit card back on, but you'll have a limit.
And I'm supposed to call your father and tell him you're here.
Unless you'd rather.
Oh, no, thanks.
You can call him.
Okay.
So, um I I guess you're staying.
Mr.
Brunner, thank you so much.
But, uh, not without some ground rules.
Beginning with your staying in separate rooms Dad, do you mind if I handle the rules part? I promise, the list is tattooed on my brain.
Yeah, okay.
And, remember, ground rules: chapter and verse.
Make yourself at home.
Thanks.
SEAN: Jeremy, what do you want? You heard she's dead, right? Yeah, you could say I heard.
Zoe took all your money, Sean.
You can't be that heartbroken.
She's somebody I knew.
She meant something to me.
Look, I want you to know I didn't do it.
All I did was tell you where she was, that she's alive.
Well, don't worry, okay, I didn't tell the cops anything about you.
The cops? You talked to the cops? Yes.
What do you think? Tally and I were the last people to see her alive.
Except for whoever killed her.
Don't look at me.
If I wanted to kill her, I could've.
I saw her alive days before you did and what did I do? Nothing.
Okay, fine.
You took it from there.
I came to you as a friend.
Yeah, a friend that put a price on her head.
Okay, that was wrong.
Especially if I'd known how it'd turn out.
What? What's that supposed to mean? I knew you wanted to find her, she took all your money.
Yeah, I know.
You keep saying that.
We're talking millions.
( tires screech ) The cops picked me up at a toll booth.
They offered me a deal.
Look, they got you anyway, from DNA from underneath her fingernails! ( siren wails ) Damien, how are you? Long time since I see you.
Yeah, hi, good uh, good to see you.
I came to get those papers.
Do you have them? Right here in bag.
Sit down, eat something.
I can't really.
I have to go to school.
You order potato frieds? Price is right: zippo.
It's on my house.
Do you know this guy? ( speaks Russian ) It's my cousin Razmik.
Ah.
It's a long, sad story.
He spent every last penny to come here.
Maggie's nice to give him job.
He work hard, no? Razmik? Yeah.
Razmik works real hard.
Yeah, it's an inspiration, really.
Don't you feel inspired, Galina? You know, to do some work? Galina, these aren't these aren't notarized.
Notarized? Oh.
I'm so sorry.
I did not know.
There's a post-it right here that says "notarize" in English and Russian.
I got confused.
Galina, you sign, you initial, okay? Every page is marked.
The only way you couldn't figure this out is if you didn't want to.
What are you trying to pull? Damien, I promise, it was accident.
Forgetting so many things with Razmik here.
Show him how America is, you know? I've been working so hard.
MAGGIE: Ha! Oh, sorry.
Not listening.
None of my business.
Listen, Galina, this is serious, okay? My dad wants this over with.
And I do, too, okay? So I'm going to come back tomorrow and if these aren't signed and notarized, I'm going to have to bring my lawyers to you which is very expensive.
Don't worry.
Tomorrow, papers all signed.
Okay.
MAN: So your client is single? I'm separated.
The Chinese government prefers to place our children with married persons.
In fact, they set a quota for single parents and the waiting list is very long.
Do you own a house? Uh She will.
I'm living in a hotel, but it's temporary.
Without a husband, you have to prove that you can provide a stable, loving environment by yourself.
I can do that.
Money is no object.
Okay.
Well, we have an independent social services agency that will come by and review your No.
No, no, no, no.
I've done that already.
I'm sorry, it's just The thing is, I made a home and what I thought would turn into a family.
And now I have to start all over? Look, bottom line, as a single woman, how long will it take to match her with a child? At least two years.
Hey, look who's here.
I want you all to meet Mr.
Eastland himself, Peter Schaeffer.
How you doing, guys? You have a minute, Colin? Sure.
Did you hear? Today's interval splits were 47 seconds faster than they've ever recorded up here.
I heard you got a bad case of road rash.
Okay.
Take it easy.
I know what you're gonna say.
I'm pulling the sponsorship.
You're fired.
But the Tour's a month away.
You'd better find another bike to ride.
You're bailing at the wrong time.
We're gonna win this race.
Colin, you know what those drugs can do to you.
It's like it's like having a time bomb strapped to your chest, and these guys don't care, just so long as they get theirs before it goes off.
You want to kill yourself, fine.
I'm not gonna light the fuse.
That's a little overdramatic, don't you think? No.
No, I don't.
You can't do this.
You can't make everything about right versus wrong, Peter.
Fire me now, and you're gonna lose everything.
( doorbell rings ) Hi.
Cameron.
Is Peter home? Because I need to talk to you about him.
Oh.
Come in.
The investors are freaking out.
Colin walked out of an interview.
Peter had to pull the whole publicity campaign.
I know, he's been having a really rough time.
Which is why you haven't told him about us.
I'm not going to.
I mean, I'm leaving-- there's no question of that anymore-- but I talked to a therapist.
She said I can't count on Peter's reaction, and it's just better for the girls if they don't know the truth.
Now, the therapist, she said that I-I should just get everything set up, you know, find a place, a home, to give the girls some stability.
There is one other thing that she asked me, and I couldn't answer.
Okay.
What is it? What's wrong? When I do this, you're going to be there for me? Of course.
Forever? I mean, I know that sounds crazy and maybe unfair, but I am giving up everything.
I can't lose you again.
Nina, I can't imagine a time when I didn't or wouldn't love you.
You're sure? DAMIEN: How's life in the rec room? FRANKIE: Recreational.
Really? How are you? Same as I was 30 seconds ago.
Yeah, no face time after 9:00 p.
m.
Man, that curfew sure snuck up fast.
Mm-hmm.
This whole so-close-but-so-far thing is driving me crazy.
I know! It was one thing to talk to you on the phone from New York and imagine what your lips looked like when you said stuff, but now your lips are like 25 feet away.
I should be able to see them.
Yeah.
Like when you say that, I can imagine your breath brushing against my ear, but I should be able to feel it.
You know? Damien? Damien? ( floorboard creaks ) ( clears throat ) Oh.
Oh! Oh, gee! ( groaning ) I had a two-grand-a-night hotel suite, total freedom.
What happened? You had to play ball with your parents.
They were about to get control of your money.
What are we gonna do? Mom's here all day.
Dad's here all night.
We can't get a minute alone.
We're gonna roll back the clock.
Only this time, it's gonna be me buying the hotel room, with Mom's credit card, starting tomorrow.
Well, won't she notice the charge? Not for a month.
And by then, we'll have figured something out.
An apartment or a dorm room at some school.
We'll have our own place that we can go to.
And, meanwhile, we'll justell your dad and my mom that I'm staying with my dad.
Well, what if they check? I mean, my-my dad does that.
No, no, no.
You weren't here when he got my father on the phone.
It was worse than your mom? Oh, yes.
So what do you say? Are you free tomorrow night? ( cell phone ringing ) ( ringing continues ) Hey.
Hey, I just came to see you.
What's going on? The police are looking for you.
They're going to arrest me for Zoe's murder.
No, they just want to talk to you.
They have my DNA.
They have my skin under her fingernails.
So, you saw her.
Sh-She hit you.
I-I was there.
It doesn't mean you killed her.
And motive.
The money's missing-- whatever's left of Zoe's half-- did you know that? The police told me.
( sighs ) Here, take it.
What is this? It's got prepaid minutes.
There's no way they can trace it.
I have a new line, too, and it's already programmed in there.
If you're so afraid of going to jail, why don't we both run? You've got $10 million.
Tally, I just sold a vintage Corvette for less than two grand just so I can get a car they can't trace.
You have no idea what it's like living on the run.
You're constantly looking over your shoulder Yeah, but if it's the two of us If it's the two of us, we can make twice as many mistakes.
One's all it takes.
Hey, tell me something.
When you and Zoe left me at the airport, is there any way that Park could have gotten to her? We went to the hotel, just to get our bearings.
I thought she picked it randomly, but I guess they could have spoken ( sighs ) Let me help you, please.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Child, I can tell by the look on your face NINA: Daisy! Violet! Come on! Mama has a surprise for you.
Mama, are we late for school? No, sweetie.
Come here.
I want to show you something.
Promise to come back, promise to come back when Oh, my gosh! It's just like the book Peter Pan.
Look, there's the ship! DAISY: There's the crocodile! Only it's real! You'll be free I'll be the gold, darling, that'll come tumbling out Oh, you'll be free Now, I know Daddy usually tells you the story of Peter Pan at night.
Let's call him.
Well, not right now, sweetheart.
What I was trying to say is, you know, sometimes Daddy is gonna tell you the story, and sometimes Mommy will.
Sweetheart, what are you doing? Oh, perfect, Daisy.
Now Daddy won't miss a thing.
Together always.
That's the best.
Right, Mama? BETH: I want a child.
I just can't wait another two years.
I've waited so long already.
Would you consider other avenues? There's county adoption.
Domestic public, domestic private.
How long would that take? Well, there's a woman who's about to give birth in Cleveland who's still looking for the best possible family.
I would've told you sooner, but I thought you had your heart set on China.
I did, but I just didn't realize the competition would be so fierce.
In China, it's all about jumping through hoops.
In private adoption, is all about timing.
You need to move quickly.
In this case, almost immediately.
MAGGIE: Hey, Beth.
Are you okay? You look a little, um not okay.
I, uh, think I'm having a baby.
Oh, my God! I mean, you know, adopting one, right? That's what you're saying? She's scheduled for a C-section in two days.
Two days.
I mean, Maggie, can I do this? Um well, what exactly are we talking about? Well, all I have to do is get on a plane, fly to Cleveland and meet a birth mother and convince her that I'm the right person to raise her baby.
I mean, if I were the right person, wouldn't I have a high chair? Okay, well, Beth, I have a high chair.
I'm coming with you.
Are you serious? Absolutely.
And you can do this? You can make this happen? Yes, yes, so get packing.
Bring some pictures.
Pictures? You want her to see you and your background and your family in the best light.
But be warned: Private adoption is kind of a lottery, too.
Well, trust me, she's been lucky before.
( laughs ) Go.
Go? Let's go! Let's go! Thank you.
Thank you.
Gosh, are those for me? WOMAN: Yes.
Sorry, miss.
No, wait.
I'm Beth.
I'm Inez.
You brought me flowers? They just throw them out from the lobby, and you'll been staying here awhile.
And you always look so sad.
They're beautiful.
You're so kind.
You should take them, though.
Oh, I can't.
No really.
I'm going to be gone for the next few days.
They'll just be going to waste.
And you deserve them.
Here for all your hard work.
Galina, you are lying to me.
There's no way you could forget again.
Damien, please, I didn't forget.
Look, if you don't want to sign the divorce papers, then just tell me, so we can start suing each other, blowing through my millions, making a bunch of sleazy lawyers rich.
Do what you have to.
But I tell you, I can't leave when he's here.
Who, your cousin? Razmik.
He's good man, but he has dreams.
Razmik wants to have very own pretzel cart.
He need money to buy, so he steal for money.
Little things.
Nickels, dimes.
For a pretzel cart? There's good money in pretzels.
Flour, salt, water-- you're rich.
Come on, Galina.
What are you getting yourself into? Damien, please.
If Maggie knows, me and Razmik will lose everything.
Jobs, visas So basically, if I want you to sign these papers I have to finance a pretzel cart? Would be a loan.
I want those divorce papers signed, notarized, perfect.
Do you understand me? Of course.
Thank you.
BETH: Okay, airline tickets, rental car reservation number.
We'll just buy a car seat when we get to Cleveland.
Beth, she hasn't even given birth yet.
Right, right.
What if she thinks we're lesbians? Huh.
Well, it said in her file that she's okay with a gay couple.
Not a drunk gay couple.
( phone ringing ) Oh, excuse me.
My attorney.
Hi, John.
Yeah, we're in the limo.
No.
No, no don't say it.
Oh.
Yep.
These things happen.
I knew that.
Okay, thanks.
We should turn back.
What, the woman in Cleveland? She changed her mind.
Hey, I'm back.
Did anybody call? Did anyone not call? And no word from Dave Park, if you're looking for him.
You don't have to say it.
The board wants to fire me, right? Peter, it's bigger than that.
They're talking about shutting us down.
After what happened with the interview and now firing Colin.
I did the right thing.
I know, but you did it without consulting the board.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? I should have helped you more.
You did.
You know what, you can.
How about if I put you in charge? No, no, no, no.
That's not what I want.
You have to take my ace.
It's the only way I can stay in the game.
It's a bad idea.
Why? Because things change quickly, and then you might regret it down the road.
What, are you going to become a different person? Huh? Somebody I haven't known all my life, Cameron? Someone I can't trust? Look, I'm in real trouble here.
I'm begging you.
Excuse me.
Mama, there's a lady.
Oh, my goodness, Miss Beth.
I'm so sorry.
I-I-I thought you were gone.
Um, is this your son? Yes.
Arturo.
Say hello, Arturo.
Hello.
Sometimes when I clean I let him watch movies in the empty rooms.
He loves them.
I am so sorry.
Inez, it's okay.
I don't mind.
Everything's all right.
I'm glad you're here.
Really.
Arturo, please.
He loves the movies.
He's lonely.
His brothers are in El Salvador.
We see them someday.
That's not right.
You have a family, and you can't be together.
You have no children? No husband? No.
I'm trying to adopt, but, um So far nothing's worked out.
How do you stand it? I know they will come.
I will work every day for them to be here.
For my children, for family.
I will do anything.
You, too? Yeah.
Me, too.
BETH: So, I'm planning on adopting.
Right away.
Are you serious? Don't you think that's a little? I don't know Um, you sure that's the right thing to do? I know it's the right thing.
And hear me out, okay? I need your help.
I need you to stay married to me.
Wait, you don't understand.
Just for six months.
Why? 'Cause it's so much easier and faster to adopt for a couple.
And nothing would change for us.
I mean, you'd still live here.
I'm finding a house of my own.
You'd just sign the papers and show up for interviews and pictures.
Cameron, you wouldn't be responsible for the child, if that's your problem.
That is the problem.
I mean, how how could I not be responsible if we're legally married? Because the baby would be mine.
Cameron, please.
I want this so much.
Well, Beth, I'll think about it for you, of course, but, I mean, how does it work? We can't fake a real marriage.
I think we can.
I think we did.
FRANKIE: I got this room for the afternoon so we could be alone.
DAMIEN: I'm sorry I'm late.
What happened? Where were you? I was with Galina.
I have to give her like $5,000 for a pretzel cart.
Pretzels? For real? Five grand-- I'm getting off cheap.
She's my wife.
If she took me to court, she'd probably get a lot more.
This way, as soon as I give her divorce papers she's out of my life.
I thought I'd be like 40 before someone ever said that to me.
Yeah.
But sounds good anyway.
You and I forever Until the end You are my sugar Okay, okay, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's wrong? We don't have time.
We don't have time.
Curfew's in a half an hour.
It takes like 17 minutes to get to your house.
24.
I clocked it on the way over.
We've got to go if we're going to make curfew.
So, six minutes.
Five of which five of which I need to be able to walk out of here in a state where people can see me.
There's no way you're more frustrated by this than I am.
A) that is totally sexist, and B) I hate that you don't put me first.
Galina, your parents, the stupid calculus tutor.
Okay, first, "stupid" and "calculus tutor" is an oxymoron.
Damien Secondly, my family is important to me and third, even if I didn't put you first, which I do, you have to follow the rules because you've got nowhere else to go.
'Cause my parents don't want me.
That's not what I said.
I doesn't matter.
It's the truth.
And I do have someplace else to go.
Right here.
I'm staying.
Come on, let's-let's go.
No, really.
It's nice to see you and your parents getting closer, it is, but being around that just kind of makes me feel worse.
I'm sorry.
I'll come back tomorrow.
We'll do homework, we'll have dinner.
Then Okay.
Okay.
Tally, it's me.
Calling again.
Why aren't you picking up? Thank you.
Peter's back, but I've barely seen him.
Yeah? Well, I have.
I'm taking over the company for him.
It's really just a show for the investors, and it's temporary, but But what? Well, then there's Beth.
She wants to start a family on her own, only there's complications with adoption with a single parent.
Cameron, I spent the entire day looking for a new house for me and my kids.
Did you find anything? No.
I mean, everything seems wrong, you know? But then so does staying.
Peter comes home, it's like I don't even know what to say to him.
I mean, I've changed, and I've changed towards him.
What I'm trying to say is I don't want to drag this out.
I don't either, which is why we're keeping this a secret till enough time goes by and people will think that we got together while we were both single.
And you'll wait for me? Why wouldn't I? Because I didn't in the past.
Because of Beth.
Nina, come on.
I want to trust you, Cameron.
I'm just scared, that's all.
I have something to show you.
I ha to get home soon.
It won't take long.
Just just come with me.
I'll drive you back here to your car.
Please? Okay.
Oh, my God, Cameron, I don't believe it! This is the house! You like it? Yes! The summer I waitressed at the golf course, every time you'd drive me home, it we'd pass it, and I would say how much I loved it.
The great thing is it's in the same school district for Violet and Daisy, and it's got a huge backyard.
You got room for a pool, a trampoline-- anything you want.
Do you still like it? Is it for rent? No, no.
Not anymore.
I bought it.
For you.
Oh, I overstepped, didn't I? No.
It's not my place? It's ours.
I want to reimburse you for all of it.
Yeah, it's enough that you told me.
You don't owe me anything.
Yes, I do.
I mean, you hired him because of Galina, and you hired Galina because of me, so You've got to take it.
Please.
Um Who Who's Cal? My dad.
He handles the money till I'm 18.
Thank you, Damien.
Yeah.
I like you.
You're a good kid.
So I I guess I owe you something, too.
It's from the security tape.
I don't think that he's her cousin.
BETH: There's popcorn, slushies, candy.
Just duck into any movie theater.
And all the films are rated "G.
" But where are the other people? Well, this is a very special private screening.
It's open only to members of the Maduro family.
This is too much.
No, Inez.
Not enough.
Not nearly enough.
I'll pay you back.
You already have.
There isn't a family for me yet, but to see you with yours it fills my heart.
Look.
Mira, Arturo.
Papa! Arturo! Look at you.
You are so big and strong.
( joyful sobs ) Wow! There's a guest unit in the back for a playroom or a study.
Or, I thought, maybe, if you want live-in help It's perfect.
And this is a tree.
I can see that.
It's a lilac tree.
It's strong, and it can hold up against a lot, but it takes time-- a whole winter-- to fully bloom.
And, by the time it does, we're going to be past all the hard stuff.
All the pain.
We're going to be happy, Nina.
Thank you.
( doorbell rings ) Do you know, I haven't had a good night's sleep in months.
Come on in.
They're all afraid if I sleep too long, I'll have a heart attack.
So, somebody wakes me up every two hours, and makes me run around.
Keeps the blood flowing.
Hmm.
A heart attack from sleeping.
That's why you take the blood thinners.
Colin, it's crazy.
I mean, you got to tell these people.
You fired me and I fired them-- my manager, my trainer, the whole bunch-- right after you left.
I can't figure you, Schaeffer.
Either you're a saint or a fool.
Either way, I want someone like you in my corner, if you're still willing to be there.
Racing clean, you're going to have to work twice as hard.
Excuse me, sir! You can't be in here.
I'm going to get Security.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
What are you doing here? Come on.
Let me just take this.
Let's get out of here.
Come on.
Sean, let go.
I've been calling you all day.
I was trying to catch you alone.
Looks like I caught you anyway.
This is Zoe's money.
What the hell did you do to get it? Long is the day Take it away Hold it up, and you don't let it fall 'Cause I'll just smile Once in a while 'Cause I don't want the lines on my face And I sit right here Holding the years, and I count All the stars in space You fall apart again, and you can find a friend Don't turn to someone else 'Cause they won't understand ( tires screeching ) ( crashing ) ( muted ): You fall apart again And you can find a friend ( tires screeching ) ( radiator hissing ) Don't want to hear you say that you miss yesterday If you don't like what you see
