Firefly Lane (2021) s02e02 Episode Script

1
Open the door! Let me in!
I know you can hear me!
Sorry, miss, they're they're not here.
Bullshit.
You're just gonna hide in here
and pretend like I don't exist?
You're just a bunch of cowards.
She is your family! She has a name!
Tallulah.
You can't pretend she doesn't exist!
I'm sorry, miss. I'm sorry.
Open the door!
You can't ignore her forever!
She has a voice!
She has a voice!
And this leads us back to the living room,
where I will gaze upon the fabulous view
while I plan the next phase
of the Tully Hart media empire.
This place is insane, Tul.
I know, it's crazy,
and I got a great deal on it.
It's in a way more exclusive building
than my last apartment,
but the guy I bought it from
was desperate.
He's going to jail for insider trading.
Oh my God, that's amazing.
Well, not for him.
Screw him. He's a criminal.
And I'm just
happy to be in a new space.
I wasn't sleeping well
in my old apartment.
It was just too full of
Max.
Plus, I never liked the closets.
So what's happening with the annulment?
Oh. Well, a lawyer just called yesterday.
It's official.
In the eyes of the law,
our marriage never happened.
It happened.
Sometimes I'm not even sure.
Baby, I know it's gotta be so hard.
- I know tomorrow would've been
- How do you remember that?
I wrote your due date in my calendar
after your first ultrasound appointment.
Of course I remember it was tomorrow.
- It's fine. I'm fine.
- It's not even
You know I never wanted a baby.
It's It's for the best.
Just another day.
Big day!
My mom thinks I'm on the bus.
Operation "sneak out" is afoot!
I'm so glad you're here, Tul.
Last night was such a disaster.
Everyone kept calling me
"bloody nose Kate,"
but that doesn't make any sense.
I gave Foxy Franklin the bloody nose.
- My nose was never actually bleeding
- Who cares?
They're idiots. Okay? Screw them.
We are women of adventure,
and we're on a quest.
Like in your book!
We're like Barnaby Baggins!
You mean Bilbo Baggins?
Sure.
Okay, so, uh,
when we get to Ruby Mountain Tavern,
we'll see if anyone there knows anything
about my dad or where he is.
Just a name would be great.
Well, do you think they'll remember?
It was a long time ago.
Stay positive, Mularkey.
They've been family-owned since 1920.
Family-owned! They'll remember.
Hey, maybe the family who owns it
is my family,
or maybe this guy is the son of the owner,
or the owner, or one of the owners.
Maybe my dad is the owner!
Makes total sense.
You think we should've called first?
Just in case.
No, we have to go.
I need to see for myself.
Talk to someone face to face.
That's what a real reporter would do.
- No, you're kidding. Oh my God!
- I'm telling you.
- You always doubt me. That's the problem.
- You are hilarious.
Oh, hey, Kate!
Hey, guys.
Sorry about the mess.
We just got so hungry.
There's pizza left if you want a slice.
I ate at Tully's. I'm fine.
How's her new place?
Gorgeous. Spectacular.
Penthouse, of course.
View of the Space Needle.
Can she afford that with the lawsuit?
Oh, she's planning her triumphant return
to television as we speak.
Oh.
But I assume she had a non-compete clause
in her last contract though, right?
That would take her out of the game
for, what? At least a a year.
Don't underestimate her.
She's Tully Hart. She finds a way.
Oh my God, I love how
you're still totally her cheerleader.
Just watching her shine
from the sidelines.
Honestly, you guys,
you have, like, the cutest friendship.
Thanks.
It's messy.
It's a mess. I gotta clean up.
- Honey, I got it. Sit!
- No, it's okay.
No, no, Kate, seriously,
I've gotta stretch the legs.
Do we have a flashlight?
They said to pack a flashlight.
- Hey. You hungry, Marah?
- No, I had pizza with Dad and Charlie.
Did you know she used to live in Paris,
and she was in Afghanistan and Iraq?
I did not know that.
She said she's gonna come talk
to my social studies class.
Maybe.
- That's so great.
- Yeah.
- Um, are you packed?
- Yeah, basically.
Where you going?
Stupid school camping trip.
- Oh.
- You begged us to take you.
We're driving her up tomorrow.
Family road trip.
Nice.
Uh
The torch, that's in the garage.
And, uh, better go
get that for you.
- I'll race you there.
- I'm gonna win.
No, you are not gonna win.
God, can you believe how far he's come
in just a couple months?
It's incredible.
He certainly knows
how to put on a brave face.
I just wonder what's underneath.
Well, his physical therapist said
he's come a really long way.
It's wonderful the way you've opened up
your home to him while he recuperates.
Not a lot of women could do that
with their ex-husband.
Well, I mean, it's still our house.
You know, he's always welcome.
Plus, you know, we left things
kind of up in the air with him and I
when he left, so it's complicated.
He didn't mention that.
I was just noticing what a cozy space
you made for him in the living room.
That's because he has trouble
with the stairs, so it's easier.
- Right.
- Um
You guys almost done your article?
Will you be going back home to Paris?
Hmm. My home's wherever I happen to be.
Plus, Johnny and I still have loads
of work to do on the story.
God, you know,
I just feel so lucky working with him.
Seeing him over in Iraq,
totally in his element just
just doing what he was born to do is, um
it was inspiring.
That's how I feel seeing him with Marah.
You know, he's such a natural father.
Of course. It must be really rewarding,
the whole having kids thing.
Yeah.
It's funny, you know, I always
pictured myself with a family, a house.
Never thought
I'd be living this crazy life.
International war correspondent,
you know, dodging bullets.
Blah, blah, blah.
I mean, sure, yeah,
it's glamorous, it's exciting,
but gosh, I never know
what time zone I'm in,
and I can barely manage
a relationship with a man,
whether it's a certain Scottish actor
or that NBA player
whose name will go unmentioned.
Always seems to end
with me crying in an airplane.
Sounds like a whirlwind.
Who'd have guessed?
Lottie the intern from KPOC.
I know, right?
God, back then,
I seriously thought I was a Kate,
but it turns out I'm a Tully.
Good morning.
I slept great.
Did you sleep great?
No.
Also, your man friend who just left
wanted me to give you this.
His work number,
his home number, his parents' number,
the number of his racket club.
Yikes.
And they say chicks are clingy.
I mean, I already gave him the speech.
"Last night was incredible."
"You're a great guy,
and that's why I have to be honest."
"Right now, in my career,
I just can't give you"
"The relationship
you need and deserve."
Thin walls.
So, Tul,
what's with the trail of broken hearts?
You in some sort
of competitive sex tournament?
Hey, I'm young, I'm single,
I'm allowed to sow a few oats.
Sorry I'm not a virgin
like Kate was when you hooked up.
What?
Hey, lover!
Remember to pack an overnight bag
because we're going to be leaving
straight after the press conference.
This isn't just a press conference.
This is my chance to get noticed.
I heard Tacoma
is looking to shake things up.
Does that mean
I might get promoted to anchor? Maybe.
If we could all just focus!
Fine, what I meant to say was,
after Tully's grand journalistic triumph
this afternoon,
Johnny and I are going
to Riverside Hot Springs,
and then we'll be spending the night
in a sweet little motel.
Vegemite. Oh, better pack.
I cannot believe that we're going
on our first official trip as a couple.
This is a big deal.
I have never been
on a romantic getaway before.
Hmm.
Road trips can tell you
a lot about a person.
Exactly. That's why I packed a mixtape,
guide book, bikini, lingerie, condoms.
So, so many condoms.
And snacks for energy
'cause we're gonna do it a lot.
My little Twinkie's turned into a Ho Ho!
- How much did you pack?
- Oh, um, well, Ho Hos, obviously.
- Uh, pickles, egg salad
- No, no, no, I mean money.
Oh, I thought you had money.
No, I spent it all
on the bus fare to get here.
Oh. Well
All right.
What What are you doing? You want us
to get in the car with strangers?
Yes! But only nice strangers,
so it's safe. It's not that far.
Okay.
- Oh, oh! We should have a signal.
- Um, okay
so if you sense danger, uh, do this. Um
And then, um
And then if it seems safe, do this.
But aren't aren't we already doing this?
- This is double.
- Okay.
Oh, and, um
I stole this from Sean,
to document our adventure.
Okay. Put your thumb out.
Okay.
Okay.
- Oh! Look.
- Oh!
Think they can take us?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Ugh. Hippies.
Hi, um, we're sisters,
and we're headed to Ruby Mountain.
You guys have different dads or something?
Like a singing bird ♪
- Hi!
- Come on in!
- I like your tie-dye.
- Thank you. Welcome.
Nice scarf.
- Sit over here.
- Far out. All right.
Hey, guys. Where you from?

But I'm living the dream ♪
That he kept hid ♪

Rollin' me down the highway ♪
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by ♪
Acoustic air guitar?
You're such a dad.
I hear Jim Croce, I need to rock.
I'm only human.
You remember our road trip to Colorado
when his greatest hits album
got stuck in the tape deck?
We must have listened
to "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" like 500 times.
Remember Marah got car sick
from all the windy roads?
She started projectile vomiting egg salad?
We had to keep the windows rolled down
because of the smell.
- Yes! And there was a blizzard outside!
- So gross.
Great story, guys, super fun, super fun.
- That was a great day.
- Yeah.
That was a great day?
You guys are not normal.
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway ♪
I love Jim Croce. And road trips.
Feels like summer.
When you're a kid,
anything is possible.
Johnny?
Oh, sorry, yeah, I just, um
I'm just thinking about work.
So listen,
our official-official romantic getaway
isn't until after the press conference,
but I thought maybe we could get
the festivities started a little early?
Yeah?
What'd you have in mind, Mularkey?
What's this?
What's going on here?
Whoa! Oh! Okay!
No, that's that's definitely not
good road safety.
Oh come on, it'll be fun.
I trust you.
Aw, you don't have to do that for me.
I'm not
I'm not pressuring you for anything.
I just I really
I really respect you, you know?
As a person.
What?
- Why would you even say that?
- I'm not No, I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying, I don't want you
to feel like you have to
do stuff to get me to like you.
That's all.
Okay, um
I thought we both liked doing stuff.
We did I did I I do like stuff,
and I'm just
I'm just
You know, I'm I'm so focused on work
Mm-hmm.
and, um, like you said, you know,
the weekend hasn't even started yet.
Um, yeah.
Totally.
This spread is absurd.
I know, right?
This sauce is giving me a mouth-gasm.
How does no one else see this is
a blatant attempt to fatten up the press?
Everyone's gonna be so bloated
they forget to ask the hard questions.
- I saved you some food, Johnny.
- You didn't have to do that. Whoa, whoa!
- Sorry.
- You all right?
Yeah! Klutz, anyone?
Oof.
That was like knocking into a tree.
I think Tully was right
about this whole thing being a bribe.
Come on, let's go stake out our spot.
Ugh, can you believe Lottie?
I know. She's so crazy.
You're not even listening, are you?
That smug prick is not gonna get
a better spot than me.
Ah, perfect.
Right in front.
Do you think he's attracted to her?
I don't know. Maybe.
I'm a little attracted to her.
She's got, like, this quality.
Goofy with
a side of sex appeal.
Wow, great, thank you.
People can be attracted to people,
and it doesn't mean anything.
I'm attracted to half the people here,
even some of the ones I find gross.
Who knows why?
- Are you attracted to me?
- God, no.
Wow, again, thank you.
I'm just saying he is clearly in love
with you, and that is all that matters.
Maybe.
But he was being so weird in the car.
Something's off.
I just have a bad feeling.
Johnny, time for lunch.
Johnny!
Johnny, can you hear me?
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay. It's just me. It's just me.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Just a bad dream, sorry.
About Iraq?
You have a lot of those?
Uh
She's worried.
She'll try and cart me off to the shrink.
What's wrong with shrinks?
Nothing.
If you need a shrink.
But I don't. I'm fine.
It's a bad dream.
If you guys don't come eat,
I'll steal the cheese off your sandwiches.
- Don't you dare!
- What?
I'm coming, I'm com Hey!
Okay! We are in a good news,
bad news situation.
But I hate bad news,
so let's start with the good!
I'm getting a ton of calls from people
who want to be in the Tully Hart business.
Talk shows, news magazines
You've got a lot of fans out there.
That's great.
I'd actually love to get back into
some real journalism.
But, you know,
there's a flip side, bad news.
You can't take a single offer.
Not for at least a year.
This non-compete is ironclad.
I know you said that,
but I just keep thinking
there's gotta be a way around it.
We've looked.
You're sewn up tight.
This is bullshit.
Wilson King is a snake.
He tried to sleep with me
20 years ago, and I said no.
- That's what this is all really about.
- Well, then you should sue his ass.
I want to, but my lawyer said
I can't sue if I don't have proof.
I can't be the only woman
he's done this to.
There's gotta be more out there. I just
I need to find one who wants to talk.
I'm a journalist. That's what I do.
Hell yes!
- Build that case!
- Yeah.
But in the meantime,
what do you say we get you back to work?
- Yes. Yes. I want to work.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm going crazy.
What have you got?
Uh, well, I do have a couple things
that aren't covered by your non-compete.
Great, hit me with it.
Okay!
Um, there is a small
former Soviet republic
that's developing a talk show
for state television.
They'd fly you out for a one-year deal,
pay a very handsome per diem,
10,000 krupnik a day!
And the non-compete doesn't apply
because, technically,
they're not recognized by the UN.
That's a pass.
Oh. Okay. Um
How do you feel
about the Shop at Home Network?
Are you kidding me?
I could get you
your own imitation emerald jewelry line,
but you'd only appear
in short videos on their website
because the non-compete keeps you
off broadcast television.
Oh my God.
This is so much worse than I thought.
No, hey, okay, do not despair.
You are Tully Hart, television legend.
And I'm Justine Jordan, kick-ass agent.
Together, we're gonna find you
something great that you can actually do.
But in the meantime, I have gotta ask,
how do you feel about a celebrity cruise?
You get seasick?
Bluebirds and blackbirds
Gathered in my hand ♪
- The chord's right here.
- Okay.
Yeah, now try again.
- See? You're a natural!
- I did it!
I'm playing guitar!
Tully! I'm playing guitar!
You're a regular Joan Baez.
- Wait, okay So, wait
- Okay

There's no hay upon the field ♪

I want to write a poem about your eyes.
Kate,
we should probably get going.
But they're but they're fixing the van,
and they invited us to some hot springs.
Uh, yeah, no, they're not fixing shit.
We're on a mission. Come on.
I'll get another ride. You coming or what?
Yeah, of course.
- Okay, let's go.
- Well, looks like I gotta book.
Yeah. See ya.
Kate, come on!
I'm coming.
- Kate, come on, I got one!
- Okay.
- Come on, let's go.
- He was gonna kiss me.

Do you mind?
Everyone hates the asshole who steps
on their feet to get to the middle seat.
So what do you know
about this, uh, Benedict Binswanger?
His great granddaddy
was one of the founders of Spokane.
Logging fortune, huge money.
His father ran for governor in '64, lost.
Gee, you can do basic research.
Family like that must be hiding some
skeletons in them fancy closets.
I wonder what old Ben Binswanger's are.
I bet he's into really weird sex stuff.
I bet you're into really weird sex stuff.
You sense a kindred spirit?
You're such an ass.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you.
100 years ago, my great-grandfather
founded a tiny timber company.
Today, over half the homes in Washington
are made with lumber
from Binswanger Logging.
I take pride knowing my family
protects and shelters thousands
of families across the Pacific Northwest.
And for that reason,
I'm officially announcing
my candidacy for governor
of the great state of Washington.
Yeah!
Thank you.
Family is the most important force
in my life.
And once I'm governor,
every Washingtonian will be
a member of my family.
Thank you. I think we have time
for a a few questions.
Oh.
Mm-hmm?
Mr. Binswanger, your company
has been at the center of several
well-publicized logging protests.
How does public support
for environmental protections
impact your campaign strategy?
Well now, I I called on you
because, uh, I like your smile.
I I guess that was my
my first mistake.
It sounds like you've already sided with
the hooligans who endangered my workers.
Mmm? Let's not get hysterical.
Today is about hope. Hmm?
Someone else.
Washington is known
for its natural beauty.
You made a fortune in logging.
What do you say to the families
that enjoy our local lands
but are worried
about forests disappearing?
That's a That's a great question.
I am an avid outdoorsman.
I hunt, fish, nature runs in my blood,
and once I'm governor,
I'll do everything in my power
to balance the state's economic
and environmental concerns.
Thank you for that.
It's my concern too. Anyone else? Yes.
- Tully, that was really cool
- He totally humiliated me.
I mean, the big boss is watching, guys.
He said he wants to shake things up.
What if he demotes me?
He won't. You did great. Very restrained.
That guy was a total prick.
You wanna go talk?
No.
Go on your couple's trip.
Have so much fun.
I'm fine.
Okay.
You know we're close
to five different hot springs, right?
- Oh, bitchin'! I am totally up for a soak!
- Huh?
No. Absolutely not.
This fool's journey is over. Take me home.
I'll take you home.
Screw Binswanger.
You are one of the best reporters
that I've ever seen.
You've got some balls, Tully Hart.
As if I would aspire to have balls.
Only a chauvinist
would think that's a compliment.
You can berate me on the drive home.
No, it's okay, man. We can take her.
Yeah, yeah. We We can do
the hot springs another time.
We can do it another time.
It's totally fine.
Yeah, whatever.
Dog's probably eating
some cheese anyways.
- I got a turtle.
- A mess I should take care of
Fine. Just go.
I'll get a ride with Gloria Steinem.
When those kids find out
that I ditched school to go hitchhiking,
it's gonna blow their minds.
They're gonna forget
about the bloody nose thing.
I don't even know why you care.
They're not nice.
- They're my friends.
- I thought I was your friend.
Duh, but you don't even go to my school.
So what? You just drop me?
What? I'm literally running away
with you right now.
Yeah, but why?
To impress a bunch of jerks?
- Stop calling my friends jerks!
- They're not your friends!
Wha
- Where you two headed?
- Uh, Ruby Mountain.
Climb on in.
I'm headed to Ross Lake.
I can drop you off.

Tarot card.
The Fool.
Holiest card in the deck.
Can't go on any kind of journey
unless you're willing to be foolish.
Taking your first step,
driving a car, falling in love.
There's always a risk
you'll fall flat on your face,
but in the end,
the fool's journey
is the only journey.
Though the streets cried out,
Go, homesick ♪
Here we are.
You ready?
- Thank you!
- You're welcome.
Really appreciate it!
- Aw, take care now!
- You too!
Come on.
This is stupid. Isn't it?
I mean, it's been 15 years,
as if I'm gonna find him now.
A fool's journey is the only journey.
Okay.
- Ready?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Oh my God, that's him.
The guy from the photo, he's here.
Are you sure?
I mean, he's older,
but that's definitely him.
Look at the eyes.
That's my dad.
I have a dad.
Oh wow, this is amazing!
There's nobody here.
We could get up to a thing or two,
Johnny Ryan.
I know.
I am down for some hardcore relaxing.
She's warm!
Maybe I should do a little striptease?
You don't have to do that for me.
Just come on in, relax, enjoy yourself.
Are you sick of having sex with me?
What?
When did I say that?
Basically just now. And also in the car
on the way to the shoot.
No. I really love it.
I just don't want you to do things
that you're not ready for.
I don't want you to have to perform for me
or or act like Tully.
I am not acting like Tully.
I'm acting like myself,
and you're just making it so weird.
Why didn't you tell me you were a virgin
when we first got together?
How How did you even
Tully told me.
And now it's all I can think about.
What? Why? Why Why does that even matter?
Because it's a big responsibility,
being someone's first.
Especially at our age.
Oh my God, call the cops.
Here comes the geriatric virgin!
No, I just wish
that you'd said something about it.
I wanted to do that thing in the car.
- Okay.
- I may not have Tully's experience,
I may have been a 25-year-old virgin,
but I'm still a pervert,
and I'm so sick and tired
of you strutting around
like this big bad rogue
who's gonna break the porcelain angel.
Fuck that shit.
Dude! No way! We went to this other place
and it was closed, so we came here!
What are the odds?
Guess it's a party!
Yeah, suddenly, I'm not in the mood.
- Marco!
- Polo!
Kate.
So are we still doing the motel?
Yeah, we can just sit in bed
and watch game shows.
Do you have the keys?
Why would I have the keys? You drove.
All right, well, I guess I dropped them.
Ugh!
I'll go check the path.
I know it's bullshit, all right?
I know that, but being someone's
first anything is a big deal.
It doesn't matter.
This whole trip was foolish.
Johnny, let's just leave.
I'm gonna go find the keys.
I don't I don't want to fuck this up!
Then, why are you?
Because I don't know how to do this!
I already felt
I had so much to live up to.
It's fine, I get it. I'm too much.
No, Kate, that's that's not it!
This is my first time being in love,
and it's it's overwhelming!
You're not too much.
My love for you is too much.
Can you believe Marah
actually hugged us goodbye?
Like, I didn't even have to ask!
Maybe she's finally grown out
of her teen asshole phase.
- Ah, she's such a great kid.
- Mm-hmm.
Like, the best.
I missed her so much.
She's so happy that you're home.
So am I.
Hey, watch it, dickhead!
Yeah, knock into the guy
with the cane, real smart.
Sorry, man.
God.
Some people, huh?
- You all right?
- Yeah.
There we go.
It's so good.
Oh!
Oh, that feels good.
Thanks for stopping here with me.
Of course! It's great for the hip.
What's with the look, Mularkey?
Are you okay?
You kind of just called
some random stranger a dickhead.
I'm fine.
Yeah, I'm just really happy to be here.
Me too.
I was kind of hoping
we could talk about some things.
So was I, actually.
I missed you.
While I was away.
I missed you too.
I appreciate you taking me in,
looking after me while I recover.
It's so nice to be home.
Even with my messed up hip.
And your brother living in the basement.
Yeah, sorry about that.
It's fine. It's good. It's good.
But also, you know, it's it's confusing.
I still have all these feelings for you.
But I can't get back together
with you, Kate.
Oh, um
I I wasn't
Sometimes I feel you looking at me
with all of this
hope
and
love.
And it's not like I don't feel it as well,
but I can't just jump back in
and pretend that we didn't,
you know
We're divorced.
Yeah.
And there were reasons.
And there are still reasons.
- You mean Lottie?
- What?
Or Charlie? Whatever? Are
You two are a thing?
Kate, this isn't about someone else.
This is about me.
I need to be on my own right now.
I'm still figuring out what I want to do
with the rest of my life.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
I'm I'm I'm glad we talked.
It's great.
You can do this.
Okay? I'm right here.
What if he hates me?
He's gonna love you.
Any guy would be lucky
to have you as a daughter.
Just go talk to him.
- Okay?
- Okay.
What can I get for you?
Hi. Um
I think this is you.
Oh yeah, I remember her. Dorothy.
Yes! Oh, well, she goes by Cloud now.
Poor girl showed up to the bar
six months pregnant begging for a job.
Not a bad waitress.
Then she stole a bunch of money and split.
What ever happened to her?
She's in jail.
Sounds about right.
So, you're not the father?
Of her baby?
Aw, kid.
I'm sorry.
I wish I was.
Mmm.
This bacon is amazing.
Hey.
Don't worry,
this is just, like, a little setback.
- We're still gonna find your dad.
- Where?
How?
This is my one road, and it's a dead end.
Anything else I can get for you?
I don't think so.
But we actually
We ordered beer, not root beer.
I know you did, sweetheart.
This doesn't mean
we're not gonna find him.
- We just have to believe that he's out
- What is that?
Like, the Mularkey family motto?
Just keep on smiling
and everything'll be all right.
- You told me to stay positive.
- You have no idea what it's like for me.
You have a family that loves you
no matter what you do.
You'll never get it.
You have a family that loves you. Me.
Okay then, let's run away together.
Look, I can't go back to Gran's.
Where will we go? What'll we do there?
We only have two pickles left.
We'll figure it out!
Tully, we can't. I mean
It's crazy.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Family, huh?
Firefly Lane girls forever, right?
Fool's journey, that's for sure.
Let's just
We'll talk about it outside, okay?
I'll get the check.
- Did you get that car fixed up?
- I did.
"Upset?"
"Satan also deceives, but Jesus saves."
Oh my God.
Those nuns screwed us!
Perfect.
Where are you
Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
What are we gonna do?
You're miss fix-it.
You'll think of something.
How am I the jerk here?
I'm the one trying to figure out
how to pay our bill!
You never even cared about finding my dad.
This whole time,
you just wanted a cool story
to impress your dumb friends
who don't even like you.
Screw you, Tully!
If this is how you treat people,
I can see why everyone fucking leaves you!
You know what?
I think this friendship's run its course.
What do you mean?
I'm not a Firefly Lane girl anymore.
We don't live in the same town,
we have nothing in common.
It's over. We're done.
You don't have to write me
any more letters. Okay, Mularkey?
This is goodbye.
I know you girls
aren't trying to dine and dash.
We don't have any money.
Then I can call the cops or your parents.
You can think about it inside.
Oh! Is it over?
Thanks for letting me drive.
Sweet ride.
You know, maybe Beamers
aren't just for yuppy scum after all.
Well, you're impressive.
Even though you almost just killed us.
So, now that I let you drive my car,
are we friends?
Hmm.
No.
- Well, that's too bad.
- Mmm.
Us orphans need to stick together.
I'm not an orphan.
Well, you grew up without a father.
Me too.
- How did you
- Mine left when I was a baby.
I never knew why.
I guess that's why I became a reporter,
you know,
try to find the truth in all that.
I see the same look in your eyes.
Like I said,
kindred spirits.
Also, I got drunk with Mutt last week
and asked about you.
Why?
Because
I think about you an irritating amount.
You drive me crazy,
and I'm not sure
if it's because we're exactly the same
in all the best and worst ways
I guess, what I mean is
I see you.
And not the you
that you're trying to show the world.
The you underneath.
I see you.
And I like what I see.
I'm impressed you could keep up.
It's always nice to meet an equal.
I told you we're kindred spirits.
That was better than I imagined.
So you imagined?
You're full of surprises.
And you are phenomenal.
That's why I have to come clean.
I'm not up for
any kind of
relationship.
My My job is crazy right now.
I I just can't be
the man that you deserve.
That's my fucking line.
Well! Good meeting.
Let's check back in tomorrow,
but you really should consider
that cruise ship deal.
- Yes, I will.
- Mm-hmm.
So what you doing now?
Well, it's Saturday night.
You better believe I'm going out!
Oh! Ah!
Oh yeah? Where?
- I could go for some bottle service.
- Oh.
We're not friends. No.
I learned a long time ago
to keep strict boundaries
between my work and my personal life.
You understand.
Yes, of course.
I was leaning towards staying in anyway.
Attagirl!
Hey, enjoy your new place,
take a night to unwind
and spend some quality time
with Tully Hart.
Mmm.

Well, I'm near the end
And I just ain't got the time ♪
Tully Hart?
Oh my God!
I thought that was you!
Wow! Can we get a photo?
Of course!
- Who's this little one? She's so precious.
- This is Madison. I'm Liz.
I love your show.
- I mean, I loved your show.
- Thank you.
Can you hold her?
Uh, yeah, um
I'll just get my camera.
Yeah.
Come down on your own

Hey, Cloud!
You need a lift?
What are you doing here?
I was in the neighborhood,
and, um, I was thinking,
I just moved into this condo
and it's really big,
and I thought,
maybe you might wanna stay for a while.
You want me to come stay with you.
Yeah.
Yeah, you mentioned the hot water
in your place doesn't always work,
and, you know,
I have, like, six full bathrooms.
I don't need your pity, honey.
I I don't mind cold showers. I'm okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, the thing is
Um
I'm I'm not.
Um
Today was my due date
for the the baby I never had.
And there's no Hallmark card
for that occasion,
and officially my marriage never happened,
so that sucks.
Again, no card, I looked.
I have no career to speak of.
I might lose everything in this lawsuit.
And I know it's weird,
me just showing up like this.
You and I aren't exactly
But, um I think I
I think I might need you.
And I just
I just don't really wanna
be alone right now.
Okay.
Let's go.
Hey.
Thank you.
You look sharp.
- You like this?
- Mm-hmm.
So, we have a problem.
I just got word from the big boss.
You know how they're looking
to shake things up?
Hey.
Binswanger's speaking at the pier.
Why wasn't I assigned?
Tacoma thought
I should take the Binswanger beat.
Is this a joke?
I guess your boss is a big fan.
Made me a great offer.
Where can I put all my stuff?
Oh, there you go, big guy.
Open the door!
Tully is your family
whether you want her or not!
Why don't you come in out of the rain?
We'll work something out.
