The Republic of Sarah (2021) s01e11 Episode Script

♪
He's gonna come home soon.
He has to.
Hey No, he doesn't.
Mm-hmm. (Sniffles)
Josh is at Aunt Bobbie's house.
The only thing left for
him here is a lying,
cheating, giglot wench.
I'm reading, uh
Henry VI to the seniors.
You are not
a giglot wench.
You are not any kind of wench.
You're just a human being.
You made a mistake.
Adam knows that.
Come on, I'll help you clean up.
Go to bed early,
before you know it,
Adam will be home. (Door opens)
Okay (gasps)
Adam, hi.
Hi.
I'm gonna head off.
Okay? Okay, thank you.
Yeah, you're gonna
be fine, okay?
Mm-hmm, okay.
Where have you, um?
Where have you been?
I was with Spencer.
Just decompressing.
(sniffles)
Did you, um?
Did I tell him about your
affair with Danny Cooper?
No.
Did you eat?
I'm fine.
It's not an affair.
Me and Danny, it was, it was,
it was just once, it was
one stupid mistake.
Once is enough.
I know, I know.
I'm so sorry.
I will say it as many times
as you need to hear it.
I'm so sorry.
Adam
can you just?
Can you just talk to me, please?
Please?
(voice breaking): Why?
Why did you do it?
I don't know, I don't
know, I don't know.
It just happened. Come on!
I think I deserve
a better answer than
than "it just happened."
I'm gonna take some time to
think if we can move past this.
Adam, we And I, uh
And I think you should, too.
I know we can.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
sleep in the guest room.
BELLA: That would
go a lot faster
if you used the microwave.
Hey, trust me.
Fast isn't always better.
Uh, which reminds me.
How's it going with
Tyler? Okay, no.
Have you tried spelling coconut
yet like I told you to? No, no.
Tyler and I are doing just fine.
Mm. Um, I don't know.
I'm missing him a little
bit more than usual
while he's away at
his indoor track meet.
Yeah, you are.
Can't enough of his pole
vault, can ya? Maya!
Stop.
Uh, so do you want
to work on some ideas
for the Greylock flag tonight?
Sure. Yeah. Um, I ordered
some new art pencils.
I think I saw a package
on the hall table.
Can you check it out?
Mm-hmm. I'm gonna do this.
You, uh, got a letter
from the Superior
Court of Los Angeles.
Oh.
Is everything okay?
My mom's up for parole
on her drug charges.
They're asking me to testify
at her hearing
in L.A.
Wait, if your mom
gets out of prison,
does that mean you'll
move back to California?
When I went away. ♪
Here, take my veil wrap it
around your head and
hold your tongue.
The war shall be
women's business.
Okay, let's hear it, Ben
Brantley, what do you got?
You want my honest opinion,
I think that your-your, uh,
public speaking skills
have definitely improved
over the past decade,
which is a good thing.
I feel like if you're
trying to build
a father-daughter relationship,
praising my performance
would've been a better move.
Just, you know I
always thought of myself
as more of a tough
love kind of parent.
ELLEN: That's funny,
'cause I never thought
of you as any kind
of parent at all.
Mom, I thought you
had two more weeks
in the rehab program.
I was gonna come pick you up.
They said I'd made
great progress.
I was ready to check out.
So I thought I'd come home
on my own to surprise you.
Though it really
seems that I'm the one
who's surprised.
It's been a long day
I'm gonna go have a shower.
When I'm done, Paul,
I trust you'll be gone.
♪
ELLEN: I have to say
the last thing I expected
to see was my daughter
being chummy with
her absent father.
I know.
Stranger than fiction, right?
But he's making an effort.
Trying to fix things
that he broke.
He is trying.
I can't fault him for that.
God knows I have my
share of amends to make.
Speaking of which
No, Mom. You don't
Sarah. We really
don't need to okay.
(clears throat)
I'm so sorry I hurt you.
I turned you into
my support system
when I should've been yours.
I had the immeasurable
honor of being your mother.
And I wasn't worthy of it.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you, Mom.
Thank you.
(knocking)
Hi.
Hi.
Got your text.
What's so important it
couldn't wait until morning?
Um
So (clears throat)
Mom is back from rehab.
This song is so high ♪
It only gets me down ♪
Has it even been
however long rehab's
supposed to be?
There's no end date.
They just keep you there until
they think you're ready to go.
I guess they thought
Mom was ready.
Yeah, I'm sure they did.
I'm sure they thought whatever
she wanted them to think.
Ellen Cooper practically
invented inception.
That movie could've
been a biopic.
Yeah, I-I don't know.
I've been through
all of Mom's sobriety
ups and downs.
This one feels
kind of different.
You can't be that naive, Sarah.
I didn't come here to try and
convince you that she's sober.
I just came to tell
you that she's back.
(door opens, closes)
SARAH: What is it?
Are you going to
some faraway place
for six months to do a story?
Did the Queen of England
call me a tramp again?
You know the big case
I've been, uh, following?
The white whale? The one
you won't tell me about
until it's front-page news?
Yeah.
Uh, it's about a whistleblower.
Uh, someone
leaked a bunch of documents
that showed U.S.
officials helping
to erect shoddy buildings
all over the world.
Some collapsed, a
lot of people died.
So I've done some digging,
and the guy who
tipped off the press,
he calls himself "Capero326."
I think he's your father.
"Ca-Pe-Ro."
Castle Peak Rock.
And your birthday, March 26.
3/26.
So if we hadn't been dating
You're not gonna
publish this?
If another reporter
follows the leads,
they'll uncover
your dad's alter ego
in a couple of months.
I don't want somebody else
getting the story wrong.
You don't want someone
else getting the byline.
I want to help him I
can, I can provide context,
uh, paint a sympathetic portrait
of him, what he did.
You want to out a
whistleblower in hiding?
It's not outing him if I can
convince him to come forward.
He's safe as long
as he's here, right?
This is a
non-extradition country.
On paper.
Read any history
book, it's very clear
the U.S. is more than
willing to go places
they're not supposed to.
I may not like my dad very much,
but that doesn't mean I want him
getting black-bagged by the CIA.
Why'd you let him stay
here then? Because it was
the right thing to do.
'Cause he's your dad?
Because he saved lives.
Me writing this story
will save even more.
What's that supposed to mean?
The State Department is
trying to cover this up.
Without a credible witness,
they'll sweep it under the rug.
Which means it can happen again.
And your dad, he will have
become a fugitive for nothing.
All the sacrifice he made
won't change a thing.
(both sighing)
Look, Sarah. You know how
much I care about you.
So if you genuinely
don't want me to
break this story
I won't.
GROVER: Be good, little buddy.
I'll miss you.
(dog barking)
You might want to cool
it with the puppy love.
Stephen's been on
the prowl lately.
Oh, the hotel manager? Yeah.
He has no idea about Tito.
Trust me. Hey,
you named it Tito.
Oh, hey, Stephen.
You have an unauthorized pet.
(chuckles) Come on, man, I-I
You're not gonna put
out a sweet rescue dog
on the street, are you? I'd put
my own mother out on the
street if she was breaking
motel policy.
Grover will need a
little time to, uh,
find another arrangement.
End of the week.
But either the pooch
goes, or you both go.
Good luck.
If you say "I told you so,"
I swear to something holy
you'll be wearing this drink.
You going out with a reporter
Would be a lot less problematic
if I didn't have
a father/fugitive
using Greylock as
a vacation rental.
Do you regret it?
Do you wish you
hadn't let me stay?
(sighs)
I thought somehow that
leaking the documents
was gonna do the trick.
The bad guys would get arrested,
and I could quit
being Deep Throat.
But, um
maybe the only real way
to stop building things
is if I come forward myself.
As his girlfriend,
I hate that he's doing this
Putting me in this position,
putting you in this position.
But he's right.
An article will make
what you did bigger,
and it will help save lives.
The only thing I'd ask is you
let me tell your brother myself.
You know?
If he's gonna find
out I'm a criminal,
I would just as soon
he heard it from me.
You're not a criminal.
You're an outlaw.
It's way cooler.
How are you feeling
about going to
your mother's parole hearing?
Um I don't know.
Listen, Maya,
I'd never tell you
not to help your mom.
I hope you know that.
But you've been through a lot
since you got to Greylock,
and it's okay if this hearing
feels like it's too much.
Okay, but me showing up,
that could make a really
big difference, right?
Your mother getting
paroled depends on
a bunch of different things.
Her behavior in prison.
Her progress in drug rehab.
This isn't all on you, Maya.
I don't know, I'm
just really scared
that I'm gonna say
the wrong thing.
Come here, come here.
I saw that.
What are you doing
down here anyway?
Shouldn't you be
upstairs with Clark Kent?
Mm, I'm kind of avoiding
him at the moment.
Ooh, trouble in Smallville?
Weston figured out that
in addition to a vast
coltan deposit and
astounding natural beauty,
Greylock also boasts a fugitive
by the name of Paul Cooper,
and being a journalist
That man is about to
snitch on your father,
and he's still in your bed?
I don't want Paul rotting
in federal prison.
I don't want the U.S. rolling
tanks down Main Street
so they can take him there,
but I'm not stupid.
He can't stay in hiding forever.
The story's gonna
come out eventually.
It's better that it's written
by someone sympathetic. Right?
If you believe that,
then why are you hiding
from your boyfriend
in the kitchen?
Because he's about to
snitch on my father.
(door opens)
(crying): Hi.
I told Adam that I didn't
know why it happened.
It just did, and that's
that's not enough for him.
Probably just wondering
if that's the whole truth.
Do you think I wanted to set
my life on fire like this?
No. But I was on the other
side of one of these, remember?
Yes, but what You
and Alexis is, it's,
that's totally different
than me and Adam.
Is it?
I know I'm irresistible,
but I also know that wasn't
the only reason Alexis
was sleeping with me.
There were things
in her marriage
she just wasn't dealing
with, and I was the escape.
So the question is,
the night at Town Hall,
what were you escaping?
She wasn't escaping anything.
It was just a mistake.
She loves Adam.
What about Danny?
What about him?
AJ, come on, you know she
isn't still in love with Danny.
I am still in love with Danny.
But I love Adam, too.
(sobs)
What have I done?
(crying)
This is just for you ♪
Could I wear your
dress sometimes? ♪
(bird chirping)
Are you kidding me, Sarah?
Oh. Father of the Year
told you his news?
Why didn't you tell
me Dad was a fugitive?
I was trying to protect
you. (laughs bitterly)
From what?
From the fact that Paul was
lying about why he's here.
He said he was here 'cause he
wanted to be a family again.
He was just trying
to cover his own ass.
I don't need saving. Okay?
I didn't tell you. I'm sorry.
I'll put on the appropriate
hair shirt when I get home.
I'm really busy, Danny.
I don't know if you noticed,
but half our town was
underwater last week.
The Glenn is gone,
the clinic and the high
school are still off-line,
the West Basin is sopping wet.
And since we still don't
have official recognition,
the only people who can fix
all of this for us, is us.
(sighs)
How's Corinne?
I just want things to be
okay between her and Adam.
And
I wish there were something
I could do to help that.
Yeah, there is. Just
stay away from them.
Danny.
Stay away from them.
(children shouting, laughing)
WESTON: So, I, uh
I talked to your dad.
And? And he confirmed
he's Capero326.
(kettle whistling)
He was brief,
no-nonsense, but, uh
still funny. (Whistling stops)
I think readers are
going to love him.
Good.
You know, a quote
from his daughter
would make them
love him even more.
I don't think that's necessary.
Okay.
Well, how about a quote
from the leader of the
country that took him in?
Talking to me will give you
a chance to explain yourself.
"Explain myself"?
Well, you knew who your dad was
and what he had done,
and you decided to
grant him shelter.
I mean, the world's
gonna want to know why.
You said you wanted
to give Paul a chance
to tell his side of the story.
He's done that.
How does me going on
the record help him?
It would make for
a better story.
That doesn't help
him. That helps you.
Yes, I want to tell the
best story possible.
And yeah, maybe I'm not afraid
of a little shine, but
Look, the better this is,
the better folks
will think of Paul.
A few words from you
about what you saw in him
that made him worth protecting
will help other
people see the same.
A brilliant writer like you?
I'm sure your words
will be enough.
You don't need any of mine.
(knocking at door)
Absolutely not.
Come on. One dog is enough.
AJ, please, please.
The hotel manager
won't let me keep him there,
and I can't bring
him to Sweetie Pie.
Okay?
Look, he's a fluffy
little angel.
I promise he's
gonna sleep all day.
Fine.
(exhales)
Bless you.
Bless you, bless you.
Why don't you just get
a new place?
The hotel was always supposed
to be temporary anyway.
The idea of finding a
new place right now is
That's-that's a lot.
When I think about a "home,"
I think about the place
I built for Patience.
Okay? Nothing is
gonna live up to that.
It doesn't have to.
The house you built
will always be special.
But losing it does not
mean you have to live
out of a hotel for the
rest of your life, Grover.
Look how much he loves his
doggy day care, though.
Come on.
All right.
Enough with the
grease gun. Come on.
(laughs)
Thanks. Ah, yes.
I'm gonna have another
lawyer just double-check.
Greylock's coltan
agreement with Lydon
before the first batch arrives.
You don't trust me?
I don't trust your bosses.
Well, look who it is.
I bet you thought it was
hilarious, hanging out with me
while you were screwing
my wife behind my back.
Adam
I'm sorry.
Not yet, but you will be.
Okay. Okay. Um
Danny, just go. I'll
talk to you later.
Danny.
Adam, punching my brother
won't make things better.
Trust me, I would know.
It'll make me feel
better. It'll make you
arrested for assault
is what it'll make you.
I should've known you'd
be on his side. No.
The only side I'm
on is Corinne's.
Come on, Adam, this
is is killing her.
What, and it isn't killing me?
She made a mistake.
It's over.
You're her whole world.
Just keep your douchebag excuse
for a brother away from me.
(sniffles)
I guess I just don't know why
the nurse was so hard on Romeo.
Doesn't she want
Juliet to be happy?
Well, Romeo's a toolbox, 'kay?
Dude's head over
heels for Rosaline,
then drops her like a hot potato
the second a new pair
of boobs walks in.
Mrs. Dearborn, what
do you think? Hmm.
Hmm?
Romeo and Juliet were
meant to be, right?
Well, they're both dead in
the end, so I don't know.
Jury's out on "meant to be."
Hey, look, I know that
stabbing yourself for a boy
isn't the greatest
thing in the world.
But
I don't know, their love
was so intense and romantic.
(laughs) Yeah, well,
"intense and romantic"
will give you one hell
of a balcony scene,
but I doubt that Rom would
hold Julie's hair back
when she was sick, or rub
her feet when she's pregnant,
or drive across town
to jump her car battery
whenever it dies, or
(clears throat) It's
You know, Romeo and
Juliet? They are in love.
They're in love,
but it's young love.
And it's not meant
to go the distance.
Because love like that
You know, first love
It's overwhelming.
And (sighs)
I don't know.
Maybe there's no way that they
don't wind up dead in the end.
Sheesh.
Way to bring the
mood down, Mrs. D.
Sorry. (Clears throat)
You look great.

Oh my God.
You son of a (horn honks)
LUIS: Maya
Oh. My bad.
(sighs)
(sighs)
She seems pretty
distracted lately.
It's her mother's
parole hearing.
She's decided not to testify.
It can't be easy
for her to choose
between helping her mom out
or protecting you.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you're nervous that
Maya will leave Greylock
and go back to L.A. if
her mom gets out of jail.
Look, losing Maya not having
her around anymore would be
But I would never say
any of that to her.
Because part of my
job as her father
is to support her
no matter what,
even if it goes against
what I might want.
It doesn't matter what you've
said or haven't said, Luis.
If I can feel your anxiety
about the parole
hearing, you best believe
Maya can, too. Grover
Petunia Sims.
Wait, your middle
name is Petunia?
No, it is not Petunia. AJ
I love you, I love your dog.
I love you and your dog.
But this animal
is never coming
near my house again.
(Tito whines)
Understood.
LUIS: People, live dog, kitchen.
Let's move it out, come on.
Grover
Luis No!
(sighs)
(knocking, door opens)
LUIS: I was hoping
that we could talk about
the parole hearing.
I don't know what there is
to talk about. I'm not going.
The reason why you're not going.
Look, if you're worried about
how I might feel
about this whole thing
don't be.
Yes, your mother
getting out of prison
could lead to you
leaving Greylock one day.
And
as sad as I would be
to have that happen,
I need you to know that
I've got your back,
no matter what.
I know you've got my back.
But you're not the reason
I can't speak at the hearing.
I am.
W-What are you talking about?
Growing up with my mom,
it was peaks and valleys.
And if I go, I can
talk about the peaks.
You know, my mom helping
me with my homework,
and Sunday trips
to Griffith Park,
and tamales at Abuelito's house.
But then if that
board starts digging
Then you'll have to talk
about the valleys, too.
(quietly): Yeah.
My mom showing up to
my soccer games high,
no food in the house
for over a week,
and just screaming
matches with her boyfriend
in the living room.
I know she's not a bad person,
but if I go and I speak,
(sniffles) it's gonna
make her look like one,
and they'll never let
her out of prison.
Be happy ♪
(crying): I just
don't know what to do.
CORINNE: You were right.
You're my husband
and my partner.
You're my everything
and you deserve
a real explanation
of what happened.
Danny, he left Greylock
and-and I didn't know why
and there was never any closure.
So when he came
back, I got caught up
in feeling like a dumb
teenager, which is so stupid
because none of
it was real and
But this is real.
Adam
Listen, it
It kills me
that I hurt you,
living out some dumb fairy tale
when I I had my own Prince
Charming here all along.
When we first met, everyone
thought I was a rebound.
That I was temporary.
There were a lot of days I
felt like your second choice.
You're not my
second choice, Adam.
A-And I'm starting to
feel that way again.
Every time I see Danny or Sarah,
I'm just I'm 18
years old again,
scared everything everyone
around us is saying is true.
What do you think
you need in order for
you to not feel scared anymore?
I need you to stop spending
time with the Coopers.
Of course. I-I never want to see
Danny again, ever. Believe me.
No, Corinne. I mean
all of the Coopers.
All right? Sarah included.
Adam, she's my best friend.
Yeah, and she's
also Danny's sister.
And I saw them earlier
today, and she jumped in
to defend him
like she was the
sibling Secret Service.
(sighs)
You just have such a history
with the Coopers, that
Adam, this is insane.
No, Corinne, you want
to know what's insane?
Right, you taking
everything we worked for,
everything we built,
and trading it in for
for-for 15 minutes of awkward
groping on a cold wooden floor.
All right? That's what's insane!
Sarah is always going to bring
Danny into the present for me,
and I don't think I can take it.
♪
(rapid knocking on door)
(knocking continues)
Hey, hey. Come in.
I need a favor.
It's a small one,
but you owe me,
and I-I'm not even
sure I've forgiven you,
because you tried to deport
me and I don't care how
Okay, okay, okay.
Maya, Maya, Maya,
just please breathe
between sentences.
What's going on?
My mom's up for parole,
and they want me to speak at
her hearing, which I can't do.
But I figured
you're the youngest
head of state in the world.
I don't know, that's impressive.
Maybe you can tag
in on my behalf.
I've never met your mom.
I don't think, I don't think
me showing up is a great idea.
You clearly want to support her
though; Why can't you speak?
Nine days out of ten,
my mom's the greatest.
But if I show up,
they're only gonna ask me
about the tenth day.
I just wish there was some
way to make them see her
the way that I see her.
There is, Maya. You just
tell them the truth.
You tell them that
there were bad days.
There were good days, too.
And despite all the times
when things were tough,
you still love your mom.
If you don't take
this opportunity to
to be her hero, and to go
on record and fight for her,
you will regret it.
(sniffles) Thanks, Sarah.
"Sarah"?
Yeah, we figured we could
stop calling you "Ms. Cooper"
now that you aren't
our teacher anymore.
Yeah, fair enough. Sarah it is.
Bye, Maya.
(door opens)
(door closes)
♪
It's probably time for
me to take my own advice.
Sarah, when did you learn
about your father's involvement
in the "Capero326"
document leak?
Shortly after he
arrived in town.
He told you about it?
After I found out
that he was wanted,
through a background check.
You background-checked your
own father? That's unusual.
We have an unusual relationship.
(laughs softly)
So your father showed
up in Greylock,
out of the blue, a wanted
man, and you let him stay.
Why?
Because it was the
right thing to do.
It can't be that simple.
It is that simple.
My father and I don't
see eye-to-eye on a,
on a personal level.
On a human level?
He saw a wrong being done, and
he did his best to right it.
Letting him stay, are you
saying that your new country
is a safe haven for
fugitives and criminals?
I'm saying
that people who believe
that helping others
is more important
than falling in line,
those people will always
have a home in Greylock.
I don't know how
things will change
once the world finds
out about this,
but let me just
state for the record:
I admire
Paul Cooper's actions and I am
very proud to call
myself his daughter.
So this one might be a
little bit big on you,
but I think you'll wear it well.
And there's a few more "speaking
to a parole board" options
in the bag.
Bella, seriously, thank you.
I've been a nervous wreck
since I called this afternoon
and told them I'd come
to L.A. and speak,
but, um, this definitely
makes me feel better.
Well, you're gonna crush it.
And you're gonna look
amazing when you do.
I love you. Love you.
All right, let's head out.
(sighs) Ready? Yeah.
Okay. Bye, Mrs. D.
BELLA: Bye. See ya.
(indistinct chatter, laughter)
Hi.
(quietly): Uh
If we're gonna do
this, sit down.
I've had enough of you
hovering over me for one life.
Oh. You might have
fooled Sarah with this.
"Mom 2.0" crap, but it's
not gonna work on me.
Well, no one has
more of a right to be
skeptical of me than you.
(sighs) I'm not here
to make you a believer.
I'm here to apologize.
You think one "I'm sorry"
is-is gonna buy you redemption?
After what I did to you,

Hey, Sarah.
Thank you.
It means a lot.
Okay.

you have to do everything

Tito and I have plenty of time

great, Grover. Yeah.

what Tito did
