Graves (2016) s02e09 Episode Script

1 NARRATOR: Previously on Graves BAILEY: Bailey Todd, Manager, music producer out of New York.
A friend of mine at XM gave me a link to one of your songs.
The gal that I'm related to is named Maggie Lynn Davis, and back in the day, we called her Peg, back when Her Majesty would actually take our calls.
SACHS: A large percentage of New Mexicans already think you're a phony.
So you think I'm a phony, too? No, I didn't say that.
I wanna put you on Jeremy's show.
Oh, Katie, slow down.
Please.
(SCREAMS) He's knocking, universe.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) AGENT HILL: So our good friend, Chuy, the triggerman in Arturo Del Rey's death, agreed to turn State's evidence in exchange for immunity.
Del Rey was a son of Mexico's biggest drug lord, El Turon.
JEREMY: You need to move out of here.
RICHARD: Ninety megaton neutron warhead with my fucking name on it.
I can't ignore it, not anymore.
Now you stay alive long enough to yell, Richard, at the top of your lungs.

At the top of my lungs, Lord, at the top of my lungs.
Good Lord, Lord All on that day - Power - Power, Lord - Power - Power, Lord (PHONE RINGING) BONNIE: Hello, this is Bonnie.
Bonnie? It's me, Peg.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) LAWRENCE: Where's Maggie? That's the question of the hour from incumbent senator Jerry North.
Margaret Graves has not been seen on the campaign trail since what North is calling her "implosion" - during their debate.
- MARGARET: Richard, please try and be back for an early dinner.
Remember Bonnie and her family are coming.
Are you sure about this, Maggs? That woman is on Jerry North's payroll.
Listen, honey, this is not about the campaign.
This is for me.
- For you? - For me.
Of course I'll be here, sweetheart.
- All right.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
- ISAIAH: Sir? - MARGARET: Isaiah? ISAIAH: Hello, ma'am.
- Oh, kid.
- Hey.
Ah.
I need to borrow your key.
To what? To your heart, jackass.
Your car.
Where are you driving off to, sir? Key? I just have to ask, when is the last time you drove a car? I'll walk you out, sir.
Okay.
Christopher, I thought I told you not to come here today.
Oh, my mistake.
I've just decided to remove negative qualifiers from everything you say, but fear not, Margaret, I am here because I am so happy about what you're doing today.
Having that Clegg woman over.
Listen to me very carefully.
What is happening today here in my home, it's personal.
It's not part of some campaign strategy.
- Of course it's not.
- I mean it, Christopher.
I will be at the office, but remember, today, just just be yourself, hmm? (SCREAMING) (SCREAMING) So this is it.
I think Short Stuff's really gonna love it, don't you? Oh, my God.
You really need to name your baby.
Okay.
You are zero fun today.
No, it's amazing that you bought a house.
I'm just kind of worried about you living on your own, that's all.
Well, don't be.
I need another person worrying on me to fail like I need another dick pic from Justin Bieber.
MAN: Welcome back to The Truth with Jeremy Graves and special guest Governor John Kasich.
JEREMY: In 2016, 14% of organ donors died as a result of car accidents, like, there's a real potential shortage of organ donors as a result of these self-driving cars everybody's excited about, and, I don't know, there's just not gonna be enough stiffs.
- Stiffs? - Yeah.
Well, Jeremy, I don't know if you're asking me to figure out a way in which we can have more car accidents so we can have more organs.
I mean, that's like a joke.
I hate to do this to you, but I'm I'm really I'm done here.
Oh.
All right.
And we'll be right back.
- MAN: And we're clear.
- [BELL RINGS.]
Get some help.
Doug, don't start, all right? The man who attempted to shoot former president Graves and wounded his assistant, Isaiah Miller, will be sentenced in a Colorado courtroom today.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Can I can I talk to you for a sec? Oh, of course, yeah.
I wanna prep you.
The interview today with Jeremy is going to be amazing.
- Oh, yes.
Well, I - First, do not forget, this interview is about you, a future leader for the Republican party.
Also, if Jeremy asks you about Treadwell, you answer him, but then tell him how thrilled you are to be invited to be a keynote speaker at the Lincoln Day Dinner.
I know, but Katie, I wanted to talk to you about something that I've actually wanted to mention ever since New York.
Oh, my God, you you're nervous about going on Jeremy's show today.
Hold on, I got you something.
(HUMMING) You bought me a suit? I made an investment.
Wow.
Um, gosh, Katie.
No, I I can't do this.
This is what a president looks like, Isaiah.
You put this on and you're gonna carry yourself differently, head higher, two inches taller, presidential.
No, no, no.
Katie, stop.
I said I can't.
Jesus Christ, what? Okay.
You are just you're you're so you're controlling, okay? I feel like I'm dating my mother, no.
I (GROANS) I don't think that you and me It's not gonna work out.
And there's so many amazing things, Katie Stop.
(SIGHS) You insecure little shit.
Huh? Do you even know what the hell you want? No, you don't, because you're like some cartoon character from the fucking '50s.
Hey, Dick Van Dyke called.
He wants his perfectly coiffed swoop and bumbling, bullshit charm back.
God, was I wrong about you.
Good luck fucking up the interview.
You just gave up on your future.
You'll never be him, you know, Richard Graves.
You don't have it in you.

Oh, my God.
I never thought I'd see the day.

It's been a long time, Lenny.
Mr.
President.
What in the how did I made a call in to General Powell.
He told me where to find you.
Well, I'll be damned, Jesus.
- Okay.
- I was hoping I could bend your ear a bit.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come.
All right.
I'll follow you.
I've been researching that producer that I told you about, - Bailey Todd.
- Oh, yeah.
I heard it was her idea that Beyonc�� have twins.
Genius.
Okay, well, not everything that I've been reading is as positive.
I mean, she sort of owns her artists, like literally owns them.
You should read this contract that she sent me, it's intense.
Hey, good things are happening, okay? For both of us.
I've got this new house.
I've got a ton of new followers on this mommy blog I just started.
Yeah, that's cool.
I don't I don't know.
- I just feel like - Hey, let good things happen for once, Sam.
Um, I'm gonna go shopping before the movers get here.
Come with? Oh, no, I can't.
I actually have to go to work, but congrats on the new house, Liv.
Thanks, boo.
You, too.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) - Hello? - AGENT HILL: Ms.
Graves, Special Agent Hill, FBI.
Agent Hill, hi.
AGENT HILL: There's been an update in our investigation.
We wanted to let you know that Chuy Ramirez died in custody last night before his plea deal was finalized.
Without his testimony, the FBI is closing its case on Arturo Del Rey.
We will be notifying your counsel.
- FARRAH: Was that a silent - Oh, my God.
primal scream? No.
Yes.
Secret's safe with me.
DOUG JOHNSON: Hey, buddy, great segment with Governor Kasich.
Remember how I said I would never lie to you? No.
But sure.
Well, it's true.
The Kasich thing was a bust.
What happened? I mean, where's that acerbic prick that America knows and loves? Yeah.
Look, uh, Doug, actually What is it, cancer? What? No.
I don't have fucking cancer.
Actually, you make my point.
I don't know if I wanna be America's favorite prick anymore.
- DOUG JOHNSON: Oh, really? - JEREMY: Yes.
Well, look at this.
There's a direct positive correlation between your anger level and viewership.
Doug, have you been charting my discontent? Yeah.
Science is real, and so are you.
Now you got your father as bullet-taking body-man coming.
You got to tear him apart.
I'm gonna buy you a porterhouse tonight, bone in.
MARGARET: Pretty much home the past 30 years.
Well, you you've done well for yourself.
Nobody can take that away from you, Peg.
MARGARET: Oh, that is where we were gonna have dinner until I saw you brought half the state of Texas with you.
Yeah, it's wrong anyway.
It's all wrong.
Well, I can fix it.
BONNIE: Yeah, you need a lesson to remember where you come from, hon, about how we party, how we have fun, and we act like we don't give a shit because life's just too hard sometimes.
Come on, Peg, you remember how we did at Sunday after church.
A Clegger? Fucking-A right.
In this world we're living It's hard to trust your neighbor anymore I just I had some questions about some of the stuff in here.
It's all pretty standard.
- Oh.
- Here's the deal.
You get a say, but I can't be your lawyer and negotiate against myself.
Oh, no, no.
I, I I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you, Bailey, I just Oh, you didn't offend me, babe.
- Oh.
- It's all good.
It's just business, but you should talk to somebody and work your shit out.
I got a band coming to play with you and see if you all vibe.
- Cool? - Yeah.
Totally.
And I know down in our hearts We all wish it could be this way In this picture of life Anywhere RICHARD: How long you been here? LEONARD: I've been here ever since Joanie passed.
RICHARD: Oh, I didn't know that.
- LEONARD: Yeah.
- I'm really sorry.
I just couldn't stay in that house without her.
It was too quiet.
Still work in that missile silo? Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I do a lot of maintenance every few months.
Hard to believe, but they still have - my original technology down there.
- Oh, yeah? So you like it, huh? Working on that big monster I ordered, you built.
Puts food on the table.
Sent three kids through college.
And fucked the world.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) You hungry? Yeah.
You feeling good about this, bud? Well, I've had a really tough day so far but, uh, hey, I know what you do here.
I know you're gonna go hard on me.
I won't take anything personally.
Why the fuck does everyone around me work so hard at enabling me to be a complete asshole? Because they underestimate you.
DIRECTOR: About five minutes away, everyone.
OLIVIA: Hi, nugget.
- Mother.
- Hey.
When are we gonna talk about that hoedown in the front yard? We're having a family barbecue.
Whose family? Yours, sweetheart.
Guilty of that particular crime.
Olivia, I would love for you to meet my cousin Bonnie and her daughter Lacey.
Guys, this is my daughter, Olivia.
- BONNIE: Hello.
- LACEY: Hello.
SAMANTHA: What the fuck, Lucinda? You actually crawled across the bar to snoop through my shit? I've been fucked three times in my life, contractually, when I've asked for it, and too many times when I didn't even know it was happening.
Okay, why would you wanna help me? Because I was you.
Pay attention.
I'm gonna tell you how not to get screwed.
Doesn't it ever eat at you, Lenny? What we did? You wanted a missile, I built it.
It protects the country.
That's that.
I've been in denial on this thing for far too fucking long, so I went to New York and met with Ahsan.
That son of a bitch is one of the reasons we built ours.
There's something I wanna run by you.
Can we go somewhere quiet? Why? No one can hear anything around here.
Lenny, we've got maybe five good years left.
That's it.
I've got a plan.
You're gonna help me.
ALL: Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink.
(CHANTING CONTINUES) (CHEERING) (SQUEALS) - Oh, my God! - Yeah, I guess there were some things you didn't forget, huh? Oh, my God.
I wish I had right now.
Okay.
Let's do that routine we used to do all the time, you remember? MAN: Welcome back to The Truth with Jeremy Graves and special guest Isaiah Miller.
I'm sitting here with none other than Isaiah Miller.
Full disclosure, I know this guy.
When he's not taking a bullet and saving my dad's life, he's most likely wiping the old man's ass.
(LAUGHS) Figuratively, of course.
Okay, well, let's literally look over here, okay? Uh, I'm reading here that Isaiah Miller, who was shot during a presidential assassination attempt is the keynote speaker at the Lincoln Day Dinner which is ironic beyond words.
That sounds like fun.
Uh, I, uh, um Actually, I just have one question.
Um, how are you, man? Really.
OLIVIA: Just so that you have all the facts, my mom, the one who dances and chugs beer, that's me.
Not her.
At least it used to be.
Yeah.
Well, your mom was always a good time.
Always.
She was way too big for our small town.
But you know what? Ever since I was little, I always looked up to her.
Always.
Yeah.
Me too.
Jesus Christ.
You're very pretty.
You wanna make out? No.
But thank you.
JEREMY: What was it like getting shot? ISAIAH: Well, honestly, Jeremy, it's really difficult to explain what it's like the moment you get shot because you go completely blank.
PTSD, I read, is very different for everyone, but one thing that it always does is it changes the person's perspective, especially who you thought you were before the incident and who you are after.
The shooting has made me reconsider everything I believed since I was a kid, and, uh, I'm not sure what's important to me anymore.
Just a a blank slate? Yes, exactly.
Look, man, I just wanna say that, um, I'm sorry.
You know that I spoke at, uh, Treadwell's hearing and, uh, I'm sure it contributed to him getting out and, uh I'm just really sorry.
It's all good.
We're good.
Okay.
Um, can you just, - just it's okay.
Get up.
- Okay.
Get the (BLEEP) over here.
Come here.
(STINGER PLAYS) - MAN: We're clear.
- (BELL RINGS) Thanks, man.
That was - ISAIAH: Yeah.
- That was awesome.
No, thank you.
Thank you.
I've, uh, I got to go, but thank you, Jeremy.
DOUG: What happens in your brain after we talk? I mean, are you trying to kill the show? Doug, I'm done.
You can't.
You're under contract.
Sue me.
What are you doing later? Oh, um, just hanging out with some friends.
- Yeah? - You could come if you want.
Okay.
I'm in.
RICHARD: I got one last chapter to write in my story, Lenny.
Yeah.
Not my problem.
(CHUCKLES) Nobody gets denial on this one.
I need to get in there, into that silo.
- What? - And you're gonna help me.
The hell I will.
And besides, even if you got in, what would you do? All right.
Here's my plan.
You open the path to the control room (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING) LEONARD: You're out of your goddamn mind.
Hear me out, for Chrissake! I hear you, and the answer is no.
Hell fucking no, Mr.
President.
Fuck.
God bless you all.
God bless the United States of America.
- OLIVIA: Uh, hey.
- Hey.
- OLIVIA: I'm gonna go home.
- Oh, no.
- Yeah, I got to go meet the - Oh, honey.
the movers.
Uh, are you too hammered to watch the baby? Of course not.
No, I'd love to.
You know, Peg's a really cool chick.
And how dare you be me before me and not tell me? How about that? - See you.
- OLIVIA: Bye.
BONNIE: So, our own Maggie Lynn Davis is gonna be a senator, huh? Yeah, if I win.
You know, I was wrong saying what I said on the news.
For North.
I idolized you, and then the world just took you away.
And the only thing I ever was was just somebody who really missed you, okay? Oh.
I love you, Bonnie.
SAMANTHA: Hey.
BAILEY: Hey.
So I'm good on the exclusivity and the commission.
That's fine.
But I'm gonna say no on the three-year term.
I'll give you two, but I want a six-month option out for both of us.
If we do split, my music's mine.
All rights, without exception.
Are you in? I've never agreed to half the stuff you're asking for.
Yeah.
The out after a year.
No one can launch in six months.
- All right.
- Okay.
All right! - Meet your band.
- Okay.
- Oh, my God.
- Rock and fucking roll.
OLIVIA: Thanks, guys.
Thanks.
Oh, sorry.
My name is Francisco.
I'm here because of Chuy.
Your Arturo was my nephew.
His father, El Terron, is my brother.
You guys really keep it all in the family, don't you? FRANCISCO: When Chuy threatened the granddaughter of El Terron and the safety of that baby's mother, a line was drawn in the sand.
So you guys killed Chuy.
El Terron takes family very seriously.
He wanted me to extend his best wishes.
If there is anything you or your baby needs, please don't hesitate to ask.
There isn't really something that I need, but there is something I want.
MARGARET: This has been so fun.
BONNIE: Yeah.
Well, what do you say we don't wait another 30 years next time, huh? - It's a deal.
- MAN: Speech, Maggie.
Oh, my God.
- MAN: Speech.
- BONNIE: Oh, yeah.
Give the people what they want! - Give them what they want.
- (SCREAMS) Oh, I need that.
Whoo! Oh, heavens.
This has been not only one of the most fun days for me in forever, but it's really been an education, a big reminder of who I was.
My family.
My purpose is not about my voice.
My purpose is to be your voice, my family's voice my mom.
Look if I do not win this election, if there is never another election, (VOICE BREAKS) that's just fine, because the truth is I have already won.
I am always going to be your voice.
This has been a great day.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) SAMANTHA: I woke up I was already me I was somewhat afraid I was something Peace signs Wow.
Remarkable, isn't she? Yeah, she sure is.
I was right in the fire I was on my knees I'm Bailey Todd, Sammy's new music manager.
You a friend of hers? Uh, yeah.
Uh, Isaiah Miller.
Miller? Hey, you sent that song over to Robert Hayes at XM.
Yes, that was me.
Whew.
I owe you a huge thank you.
That girl is a fucking goldmine.
I had questions in mind Why you were strong Peace signs (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) VAN MORRISON: You must leave now Take what you need You think will last But whatever you wish to keep You better grab it fast (INDISTINCT CONVERSATION) Yonder stands your orphan With his gun Crying like a fire in the sun Hey, there.
