Good Behavior (2016) s02e08 Episode Script
Stay Beautiful
1 [MUFFLED GROANING.]
You have learned a lot from my father.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Carlos It's not Javier over Jacob.
I shouldn't be with either of them.
I love you too much to let anything bad happen to you.
And I want you to be safe.
I shouldn't be with anybody.
1121, please.
[KEYPAD BEEPS.]
[ SNORTS, SNIFFLES .]
We need more coke.
Are you serious? [WATER RIPPLING.]
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
The view is endless.
- It's beautiful.
- Mm-hmm.
Makes you feel like you're gonna live forever.
Typically, I wouldn't approach an interpersonal conflict in such a way, but in this case, the solution seems equitable.
In the last 2 months, I've dropped 15 pounds.
I started feeling very off balance.
I had a private lab run tests.
What you're holding is what they found.
- Mercury.
- Mm-hmm.
Dimethylmercury in my bloodstream.
That doesn't sound good.
It's not.
It's fatal.
I'm sorry.
[CHUCKLES.]
So this woman you want killed.
She's my wife.
Your wife poisoned you? [CHUCKLES.]
It's very her.
She's a chemist.
She's brilliant.
After many years doing this, I have found inducing a heart attack is the best way.
I know how I want it done.
That is not how this works.
No, I assumed that it wasn't, but You had to wonder why I've offered to pay so much.
I did wonder.
$950,000.
$950,000? [SCOFFS.]
I'm sorry.
There's no way.
All cash.
If I'm going to do what you're asking me to do, you will have to pay even more.
Throw out a number.
$1 million.
You're serious.
And I will need all of it up front.
I doubt they'll go that low.
Why don't you ask them? I'm telling you, it's not gonna happen.
The house has been on the market for two weeks.
You don't think they would be open to at least hearing the offer? I'll call them.
$1 million up front.
Like I said, they listed it for $1.
1, and they're confident in that number.
They won't go for $950,000.
But they will go for $1 million flat.
All cash? Consider yourself a homeowner.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
Hard time forgiving Even harder forgetting Before you do something You might regret, friend Bricks are caving in Oh, how sweet this sin I left you the keys You won't let me in Hard time forgiving Even harder forgetting Before you do something [SHOWER RUNNING.]
[SIGHS.]
[MACHINE GUNFIRE.]
[ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING, CARTOON SOUNDS.]
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING.]
Letty, what are you doing? Calling my son.
Jesus.
What reality are you living in? You brought him here, and you asked me to take him back.
You told me you couldn't do it, and that's fine.
I didn't yell at you and I didn't judge you.
But you can't call him up a week later like it's some casual thing.
I get it if you wanna talk to him, but you don't call him.
You call me, and then I'll tell you if it's a good time to talk to him - or not - Okay, okay, I understand.
[SIGHS.]
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
- Well, how is he? - [TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY.]
I don't know.
He's not really talkin' to me.
What do you mean? Well, yesterday, I told him he needed to pick up after that dog you got him.
He said he didn't feel like it, and I said I didn't care if he felt like it.
You can't just leave shit all over the lawn.
And then he screamed at me.
What are you talking about? Jacob doesn't scream.
I know.
Well, why was he so angry? No, it wasn't like that.
It wasn't an angry scream.
I don't know what it was.
- I have to go, Mom.
- Letty [OBJECTS RATTLING.]
[OBJECTS CONTINUE RATTLING.]
[SIGHS.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR, BILLS RUSTLE.]
- [SIGHS.]
- WOMAN: Housekeeping.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- No, no, thank you.
Not right now.
Checkout was two hours ago, so it's really not your call.
I'm not checking out.
Then you can go to the front office and pay for another night, or you can get out and let me clean up this mess you made.
Fine.
I'll go pay for another night.
Really?! You're stealing tips from a maid.
Um, no.
I was getting my cash together to go pay for another night because you told me to go pay for another night.
But thanks for assuming the worst.
I saw you in the mirror.
- No, you didn't.
- Yeah, I did.
I wanna talk to your manager.
I'll do you one better.
I'll get you the owner.
- Great, get me the owner.
- Here I am.
[BILLS RUSTLING.]
This is how people become homeless.

Hey.
Oh, you know, I've been busy.
Listen, where are you these days? You've got a habit of using people You get what you want no matter what the cost You've got a habit I don't know you.
No.
You don't.
If I don't know you, what are you doing in my house? This is your house? What, you don't think it looks good? You wanna put a woman's touch on it? Seems like you have it just the way you like it.
Yeah, well, it's not a house.
It's a home.
That's nice.
I'm friends with Dave.
I assume he's up there.
Dave! You know this gorgeous young lady? - Letty! - Dave! - Boner, let her up.
- But we got our rule.
No one comes in unless they're ready to party.
I'm ready to party.
You gotta prove it with a line sprint.
- What's a line sprint? - It's a long ass line of coke.
Oh, fine.
I thought I was gonna have to run or something.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
So your name is Boner? - It's my middle name.
- Mm.
[SNORTS.]

[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
Uhh! [THUD.]
[GROANING.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Aah! [GROANS.]
This is how they immobilize pigs on farms.
How would you know? I did a lot of bad things before I became a hit man.
- [TIE ZIPS.]
- [GROANS.]
Now it i s time to stop lying.
Hmm? I know my father didn't hire you to kill me because you killed him and David and Silk.
This is all you.
[LAUGHING.]
Aah.
[GROANS.]
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
Are you ready? [SIGHS.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Ava didn't want you.
I am sorry about that.
So now all these years later, you thought you could make her want you again by taking everyone else away from her, huh? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
No.
She doesn't.
And neither do you.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
[MUFFLED SCREAMING.]
[LOCK CLICKS.]
Oh, great.
Yeah, we got a fancy-ass coffee machine.
- I know.
Thanks.
Come in.
- Okay.
So does it make a bunch of different flavors or something? It's an espresso machine.
Oh.
Like hazelnut.
No, no hazelnut.
Just espresso.
Coffee maker that fancy ought to make hazelnut.
It's okay for you guys to go now.
Okay.
Have a good one.
[DOOR OPENS.]
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- [SIGHS.]
Huh.
["COMING UP FOR AIR" BY PHIL SELWAY PLAYING.]
[EXHALING DEEPLY.]
It started out today I feel alive, and the air has changed [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
I'm not alone [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
It's taken an age just to You just keep getting cooler and cooler.
What? I said you just keep getting cooler and cooler.
And I'm not even trying.
Oh, Letty.
We've known each other for forever, man.
Remember how we used to always play "Super Mario Bros.
" and drink Kahlúa with my stepmom? - I maybe do.
- I remember this one time you snuck into my room at, like, 3 in the morning.
And she had this big-ass duffel bag.
She was just dragging it behind her.
And I started getting paranoid because that weed I loved back then was some cheap-ass shit.
So I got to thinking that maybe you had a body in your duffel bag.
But then you went to the bathroom.
And I'm just sitting there staring at your duffel bag with a dead body in it.
- I would've just looked inside.
- [LIGHTER CLICKS.]
Dude, he was scared he was gonna open it up and find a dead body.
That's real.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
What was really in the bag? Just a bunch of clothes and shoes she stole.
Were you guys ever boyfriend/girlfriend? Nah.
Letty always had a boyfriend.
Whatever happened to that one guy? Javier.
Javier, yeah.
Black dude.
Did he treat you bad? No.
We just messed each other up.
I wouldn't mess you up.
I mean, I would, but I wouldn't.
I know.
Because how could you? Nobody messes me up.
- Oh.
- I mess myself up.
If I get messed up it's because I wanna get messed up.
I mess myself up! Whoo! And guys are always thinking they can unmess me up, you know? Or be the one guy who's so perfect that I won't mess myself up if I'm with him.
- I didn't mean - No, I'm not talking about you.
The truth is, I obviously like hanging out with asshole guys who think they can save me or change me or whatever.
We don't wanna change you.
No, I'm not talking about you guys.
Just listen.
Because it's like, if I didn't have someone every now and then looking into my eyes like I could be this better person, I would be dead.
But then that gets boring.
So I will mess it up.
And he will mess it up.
And it's because we both wanna mess it up.
Because that's what we do over and over from, like, the beginning of time.
And I chose to go back to that hotel and follow him to that bar.
Like, okay, sure, I wanted to save that woman's life, but really? Was it really about that? No.
I just wanted to hang out with a dangerous man.
Now that's messed up.
That is fucked up.
[THUD.]
Did you get it? I'm the dangerous one.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]
[VIBRATING CONTINUES.]
- Yeah.
- Letty? I said hello.
You said, "Yeah.
" Are you okay? I'm great.
Is that it? No.
Okay, then, what? Look, I know we left things in a bad place.
It was more than bad.
Maybe you don't know this, but before I met you, I wasn't okay.
I do know that.
And you weren't okay.
No, you didn't know me before you met me.
Well, I found out who you were.
You figured out facts about me.
You didn't know me.
Can you just listen? Listen.
I am listening.
You're not saying anything.
Okay.
I bought you something.
What? Look at your texts.
I bought you a house.
Did you get the photo? What is the matter with you? How clueless are you? - I'm - A house? Are you serious? There are 3 bedrooms.
It's it's perfect.
Perfect for what? A family? A happy little family? I don't have a family.
You do.
No, I don't.
You have me.
You're embarrassing yourself.
You sound like a desperate little boy who just lost his virginity.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, shit! [LAUGHTER.]
Who are you with right now? Who am I with? Your father.
Ooh! [LAUGHTER.]
I'm asking because I care about you.
Let me just fix this for you.
Don't care about me.
I'm really not that important.
I shouldn't matter to you.
You are I have never seen anyone with as much self-pity as you, not even the people I've killed.
You think that whatever pain you feel entitles you to go around hurting everyone around you.
Look, I don't know who you're with or what you're doing, but if you think you're flying high right now, I will not ruin your party.
You fly high, Letty.
Enjoy that.
I'm done.
Are you waiting for me to cry or something? No, I know you won't.
You don't stand to gain anything from crying right now.
Fuck you.
[CELLPHONE CRASHES.]
[EXHALES.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[GRUNTING.]
[SPITS.]
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[SINGSONGY.]
You guys Shit! Don't point that thing at me.
Relax.
It's just a nail gun.
It's still a gun.
Don't - Oh! [LAUGHS.]
- Shit! - [LAUGHING.]
- Oh, shit.
My turn.
Ooh.
Come on.
Just do it.
- Be careful, dude.
- What do you mean? I mean, like, don't hit her.
- Why not? - Because she's my friend.
Shoot it! [WHOOSH.]
- Ooh! - Oh! [LAUGHS.]
Whoo! You're so badass.
[LAUGHS.]
- You're so awesome! - I know.
- Now I wanna go.
Dave, shoot me.
- No, I'm not doing this shit.
Noah, shoot me.
[LAUGHS.]
[GRUNTS.]
You should probably lift your mask for this, dude.
Oh Oh, shit.
I'm the greatest! - Yeah! - [LAUGHTER.]
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES.]
- That is in there.
- [LAUGHS.]
No! Oh, no! [DOORBELL RINGS.]
[RUSTLING.]
- Carlos.
- Hey.
[SPEAKS SPANISH.]
I'm leaving in the morning, so I wanted to bring something for the house.
Beer? Sure.
Thanks.
[BOTTLE CAP FIZZES.]
Are you gonna have one? No.
I was about to leave, actually.
Oh.
Sorry.
Where are you going? The gym.
Oh.
Teo? Yeah.
Hey.
[SPEAKS SPANISH.]
Did I kill him? No.
He hasn't told me everything I need to know.
What else do we need to know? - I don't know.
- [BOTTLE CAP THUDS.]
Something.
You can't leave him in a motel forever.
He's locked in a room downstairs.
Are you serious? He can barely move.
He's passed out.
It's fine.
Dad bought Ava a restaurant.
Hmm.
So? So then people are dying.
Bam, bam, bam.
And Teo's hanging around this restaurant suddenly.
I don't know.
Anyway, I have to go.
I will stay.
Make sure nothing happens.
Thank you, but you don't have to do that.
I know.
I want to.
- [SIGHS.]
No, Carlos.
- [BOTTLE THUDS.]
Do I seem like a child to you? Because everyone has always treated me like Like I'm too delicate to handle things.
It is not like that, Carlos.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Good.
Then I will watch him while you're gone at the gym.
Okay.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
Boner? Boner? Just let him sleep it off.
This place is really sad.
We have to get outta here.
Yeah, let's go somewhere else.
Where? I know where.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, yeah.
- Where? - You're gonna love this place.
- It's surreal as hell.
- [TOUCHSCREEN CLICKING.]
But we need G.
Can you call your guy? We're good.
- Yeah? - Let's go.
[SLURPS.]
[TOUCHSCREEN CLICKS.]
WOMAN: 9-1-1.
What's your emergency? [CLICK.]
- [SIGHS SOFTLY.]
- DAVE: Yo, Letty! Let's go! [CLATTER.]
Wake up.
- [CHAIR CLANGS.]
- Wake up.
[GASPS.]
What is this? A consequence.
What? [KEYS JANGLE.]
Some people think they're allowed to ruin other people.
Why is that? Make sense of such a person for me.
Help me understand.
Understand what? A person who believes that acting on a destructive impulse is perfectly fine, hmm? Is it she doesn't see how selfish she is? Or does she? I don't know.
Well, let's take you, for example.
When you see someone suffering, does it make you smile? Or maybe you're just bored and watching a person suffer, well at least it's something new, huh? Who the hell are you? I am what you get when you do what you did.
I have a husband.
He can pay you.
He'll give you a lot of money.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Who do you suppose that is? SANTIGOLD: Freak like me, freak like me You a freak like me, freak, freak like me, me Wait, I wanna do it.

[EXHALES.]
Look, I'm gonna miss him when he's gone.
I'm gonna miss you, baby.
Obviously, I love him.
I wouldn't say that is obvious.
Look at him.
This is a man who's thrown in the towel.
Maybe because you killed him.
No.
See, baby, this is why it would be helpful for us to be dealing with someone who knows us better.
No one knows us, honey.
He's been this way ever since I've known him.
Maybe he realized that this was all his life was ever gonna be.
Look at him.
You see that? He uses up all the oxygen in the room just existing.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
It's a wonder I've survived with him as long as I have.
["HOLD THE LINE" BY MAJOR LAZER PLAYING.]

[BOTH LAUGH.]
I make ya, I make ya, I make ya, I make ya, I make ya I make ya, I make ya, I make ya, I make ya, I make ya Dimethylmercury is actually very interesting.
It's very interesting, baby.
What do you think about elemental mercury? Well, I see that you've brought some of it to this affair.
It's hard to find mercury thermometers these days.
Where'd you get those? Just a pharmacy.
I bet it was a tiny, little mom and pop place.
One of those places with wheelchairs and crutches in the window.
- It was.
- I love an elderly pharmacist.
They recommend the strangest things.
Like what? Those mercury thermometers, for example.
Even though there are digital thermometers that'll measure temperature with a 3-second swipe across the forehead.
An old pharmacist will still advise me to stick a glass tube of mercury into my child's rectum.
We don't have a child.
I know, baby.
A digital thermometer does seem like a better option.
Yeah, well, there's something to be said for those old school mercury thermometers.
They're dangerous.
Only if the mercury's vaporized and inhaled.
Looks to me like you already know that, though.
Yeah.
But I only recently learned.
[SNAP.]
Your husband taught me.
Yeah, well, he only knows because I taught him.
- [HANDS SLAP TOGETHER.]
- Bet you wish you hadn't.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[MUFFLED VOICE.]
Whoa.
If you build it, he will come.
What? "Field of Dreams.
" Oh! M.
Night Shyamalan! Yeah, the crop circle.

Yes, he will! Come on.

Your call has been forward to an automated voice messaging system.
Hi, Letty.

We need more coke.
Are you serious? [WATER RIPPLING.]
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
The view is endless.
- It's beautiful.
- Mm-hmm.
Makes you feel like you're gonna live forever.
Typically, I wouldn't approach an interpersonal conflict in such a way, but in this case, the solution seems equitable.
In the last 2 months, I've dropped 15 pounds.
I started feeling very off balance.
I had a private lab run tests.

Dimethylmercury in my bloodstream.
That doesn't sound good.
It's not.
It's fatal.
I'm sorry.
[CHUCKLES.]
So this woman you want killed.
She's my wife.
Your wife poisoned you? [CHUCKLES.]
It's very her.
She's a chemist.
She's brilliant.
After many years doing this, I have found inducing a heart attack is the best way.
I know how I want it done.
That is not how this works.
No, I assumed that it wasn't, but You had to wonder why I've offered to pay so much.
I did wonder.
$950,000.
$950,000? [SCOFFS.]
I'm sorry.
There's no way.
All cash.
If I'm going to do what you're asking me to do, you will have to pay even more.
Throw out a number.
$1 million.
You're serious.
And I will need all of it up front.
I doubt they'll go that low.
Why don't you ask them? I'm telling you, it's not gonna happen.
The house has been on the market for two weeks.

Like I said, they listed it for $1.

They won't go for $950,000.
But they will go for $1 million flat.
All cash? Consider yourself a homeowner.

Letty, what are you doing? Calling my son.
Jesus.
What reality are you living in? You brought him here, and you asked me to take him back.
You told me you couldn't do it, and that's fine.
I didn't yell at you and I didn't judge you.
But you can't call him up a week later like it's some casual thing.
I get it if you wanna talk to him, but you don't call him.
You call me, and then I'll tell you if it's a good time to talk to him - or not - Okay, okay, I understand.
[SIGHS.]
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
- Well, how is he? - [TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY.]
I don't know.
He's not really talkin' to me.
What do you mean? Well, yesterday, I told him he needed to pick up after that dog you got him.
He said he didn't feel like it, and I said I didn't care if he felt like it.

Fine.

Really?! You're stealing tips from a maid.
Um, no.
I was getting my cash together to go pay for another night because you told me to go pay for another night.
But thanks for assuming the worst.
I saw you in the mirror.

["COMING UP FOR AIR" BY PHIL SELWAY PLAYING.]
[EXHALING DEEPLY.]
It started out today I feel alive, and the air has changed [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
I'm not alone [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
It's taken an age just to You just keep getting cooler and cooler.
What? I said you just keep getting cooler and cooler.
And I'm not even trying.
Oh, Letty.
We've known each other for forever, man.
Remember how we used to always play "Super Mario Bros.
" and drink Kahlúa with my stepmom? - I maybe do.
- I remember this one time you snuck into my room at, like, 3 in the morning.
And she had this big-ass duffel bag.
She was just dragging it behind her.
And I started getting paranoid because that weed I loved back then was some cheap-ass shit.
So I got to thinking that maybe you had a body in your duffel bag.
But then you went to the bathroom.
And I'm just sitting there staring at your duffel bag with a dead body in it.
- I would've just looked inside.
- [LIGHTER CLICKS.]
Dude, he was scared he was gonna open it up and find a dead body.
That's real.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
What was really in the bag? Just a bunch of clothes and shoes she stole.
Were you guys ever boyfriend/girlfriend? Nah.
Letty always had a boyfriend.
Whatever happened to that one guy? Javier.
Javier, yeah.
Black dude.
Did he treat you bad? No.
We just messed each other up.
I wouldn't mess you up.
I mean, I would, but I wouldn't.
I know.
Because how could you? Nobody messes me up.
- Oh.
- I mess myself up.
If I get messed up it's because I wanna get messed up.
I mess myself up! Whoo! And guys are always thinking they can unmess me up, you know? Or be the one guy who's so perfect that I won't mess myself up if I'm with him.
- I didn't mean - No, I'm not talking about you.
The truth is, I obviously like hanging out with asshole guys who think they can save me or change me or whatever.
We don't wanna change you.
No, I'm not talking about you guys.
Just listen.
Because it's like, if I didn't have someone every now and then looking into my eyes like I could be this better person, I would be dead.
But then that gets boring.
So I will mess it up.
And he will mess it up.
And it's because we both wanna mess it up.
Because that's what we do over and over from, like, the beginning of time.
And I chose to go back to that hotel and follow him to that bar.
Like, okay, sure, I wanted to save that woman's life, but really? Was it really about that? No.
I just wanted to hang out with a dangerous man.
Now that's messed up.
That is fucked up.
[THUD.]
Did you get it? I'm the dangerous one.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]
[VIBRATING CONTINUES.]
- Yeah.
- Letty? I said hello.
You said, "Yeah.
" Are you okay? I'm great.
Is that it? No.
Okay, then, what? Look, I know we left things in a bad place.
It was more than bad.
Maybe you don't know this, but before I met you, I wasn't okay.
I do know that.
And you weren't okay.
No, you didn't know me before you met me.
Well, I found out who you were.
You figured out facts about me.
You didn't know me.
Can you just listen? Listen.
I am listening.
You're not saying anything.
Okay.
I bought you something.
What? Look at your texts.
I bought you a house.
Did you get the photo? What is the matter with you? How clueless are you? - I'm - A house? Are you serious? There are 3 bedrooms.
It's it's perfect.
Perfect for what? A family? A happy little family? I don't have a family.
You do.
No, I don't.
You have me.
You're embarrassing yourself.
You sound like a desperate little boy who just lost his virginity.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, shit! [LAUGHTER.]
Who are you with right now? Who am I with? Your father.
Ooh! [LAUGHTER.]
I'm asking because I care about you.
Let me just fix this for you.
Don't care about me.
I'm really not that important.
I shouldn't matter to you.
You are I have never seen anyone with as much self-pity as you, not even the people I've killed.
You think that whatever pain you feel entitles you to go around hurting everyone around you.
Look, I don't know who you're with or what you're doing, but if you think you're flying high right now, I will not ruin your party.
You fly high, Letty.

No.

No one knows us, honey.
He's been this way ever since I've known him.
Maybe he realized that this was all his life was ever gonna be.

It's hard to find mercury thermometers these days.
Where'd you get those? Just a pharmacy.
I bet it was a tiny, little mom and pop place.
One of those places with wheelchairs and crutches in the window.
- It was.
- I love an elderly pharmacist.
They recommend the strangest things.
Like what? Those mercury thermometers, for example.
Even though there are digital thermometers that'll measure temperature with a 3-second swipe across the forehead.
An old pharmacist will still advise me to stick a glass tube of mercury into my child's rectum.
We don't have a child.
I know, baby.
A digital thermometer does seem like a better option.
Yeah, well, there's something to be said for those old school mercury thermometers.
They're dangerous.
Only if the mercury's vaporized and inhaled.
Looks to me like you already know that, though.
Yeah.
