A Million Little Things (2018) s04e02 Episode Script

1 If I thought we could get a conviction, it would be different.
But I am worried about having enough evidence in this case.
Previously on "A Million Little Things" From now on, I go where you go.
We would like to invite you to be the guest host while we look for Dr.
Stacy's permanent replacement.
Thank you for letting me be your Regina.
You've affected me so deeply.
We've had to shut our doors, but our restaurant will be back, in some way, someday.
This is an agreement for us to have joint custody of Theo.
I got a call from the person who hit me.
I just don't want you to do something you'll regret.
Did he touch you? No.
He just touched himself.
Sophie's decided to go to the police today.
I told him how much she needed this program, and he never would have known any of that if it wasn't for me.
Anybody see you? No.
Please! Can I help you? My name's Gary.
I'm Sophie's Her mom left her with me when she went to France.
So when Peter did what he did that was on my watch.
Now, I know that he hurt your family, too.
Your daughter.
So, are we gonna let him get away with it? Gary? - There you are.
- Seems a little formal to wash my car, but alright.
Ha-ha, very funny.
The reason I am wearing this is because the Realtor called.
- We need to go to Lenox.
- Mm.
Turns out, the owner loved your heartwarming letter.
Mm! Knew it! Why didn't I get into letters instead of numbers? But we got to get out there today.
She's got two other offers already.
Neither as charming as me.
Wait a second.
Don't you have a playdate scheduled with Theo and Katherine and Liam? Already canceled, and we can go right after my session with Eddie.
Oh, Eddie can take a day off.
His upper body's giving me FOMO.
I know, but I am introducing him to his new trainer, Russ, and I want to make sure that meeting goes well.
And speaking of great first impressions, apparently, the owner is gonna be there today.
So we really need to live up to your letter.
Why do you think I'm wearing deodorant? Hey, if I have to play the cancer card, I will, and if I really have to, I'll show her my one nip.
See, that's what I'm talking about.
No nipple jokes, 'kay? Fine.
I'll cut 'em out.
- Just like they cut out my ni - Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
Sorry, I'm just getting it out of my system.
- We're very charming, the two of us.
- I know.
Not you and me me and my nip.
And then just off the top of the hour, you do your opening and start taking live calls for 25 minutes.
Then you'll do some 15-second ads and come back for your 5-minute segment.
Hello.
It's nice to meet you in person, too.
I know I'm shorter than I look on Zoom.
- I get it all the time.
- Me too.
- Sorry.
Hi.
- Hi.
And then at the half-hour, we throw to Nick for traffic and weather, and then we do the whole thing all over again.
Got it.
I better caffeinate.
I know taking on an entire show's a lot.
Are you nervous? Um, more excited, you know? I have this huge opportunity every day for the next two weeks to show thousands of Bostonians that asking for help isn't scary.
It's probably more like a million.
Some people say they pick up our station all the way up in Nova Scotia.
Remember a few seconds ago when I lied about not being nervous? You're gonna be great.
And can I just say thank you? After five years, Dr.
Stacy never saw me as more than her assistant.
But now, thanks to you, I'm a producer.
I will not let you down.
What's going on here? Oh.
Hi.
I'm Maggie.
- I'm the new doc - That's mine.
Oh.
Uh, sor I thought it was a-a communal situation.
And which is the mug you brought in? Uh, I-I didn't catch your name.
I'm Nick.
Traffic and weather on the hour and the half.
Let's go over some ground rules.
BYOM.
You got it.
It's "Bring Your Own M-Mug.
" Please direct your attention to the coffee station.
You'll notice a laminated rules list.
It's next to the laminated directions on how to properly load the dishwasher.
Yeah, see that.
I'm gonna That's smart.
I'll look at all those There's a label maker in the cabinet above the cups.
There it is! Labeled "Label Maker.
" That's meta.
But you might want to take a look at your mug, 'cause it says, "Don't sweat the small stuff.
" I don't sweat the small stuff.
As I was saying, I will not let you down starting now.
Oh, the studio.
Let me show you.
And every time another innocent Black person is killed, that armor gets heavier and heavier.
But I've seen what can happen if we just keep showing up.
- Black lives matter! - Black lives matter! Things can change.
So what do you think? It's amazing, Rome.
It's exactly what the world needs right now.
Well, in that case, Shanice, can you, uh, quickly become an agent? 'Cause I have a feeling that my agent's gonna tell me it's not good enough to sell.
Thank you for making the time, seriously.
Mm, please.
It's a perfect way to spend my day off from set.
So much better than being stuck in yet another hotel room living off of room service.
Oh, that sounds like hell.
It is.
Although I'm not sure Kiana can tell the difference.
I brought her to Boston with me while I'm shooting this movie, but I think she's seen more of the city she's building on "Minecraft.
" My friend's son Theo is exact same way.
Caught him trading candy for screen time.
True story.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey, how'd the interview go? Rome told me about the restaurant.
Honey, I am so sorry.
Mm, thank you.
And thanks again for giving us that shout-out on social media.
It bought us a couple more months.
Our waiter, Teddy, burst into tears when he found out you did that.
Though he cried most days.
Well, I wish I could have done more.
That's okay.
Here I am, fresh off an interview for head chef at Crocodilze And that is with a "Z" With over 56 locations between here and Albuquerque.
H-Hey, one of those locations is where I spent my 13th birthday.
In fact, Crocodile Keith delivered my cake to me personally.
Well, that's exactly what you want when you're going through puberty, right? You want a restaurant full of people staring at you while you're being serenaded to by a grown man in a lizard suit.
Here comes the pathetic part.
I don't think they're gonna offer me the job.
- You don't know that.
- But I do, because I said something stupid about improving the menu, and when I left, they said, "We'll be in touch.
What's your e-mail again?" - Ooh.
- Yeah.
No one gets the "you're hired" over e-mail.
Mm.
But maybe it's for the best.
I mean, I can't work in a restaurant where, when the host seats you, they say - "See your waiter, alligator.
" - "See your waiter, alligator.
" You know what's crazy about that is, an alligator ain't even the same thing as a crocodile, which they should know It's their mascot.
Well, I'm gonna go change.
I can't believe I wore a dress for that.
A cute dress with pockets.
Ah, apparently I'm not the only one who could use a day off.
Hey, we need you on the register.
- Okay.
- Attention, Halpert's customers Halpert's.
Hello? Where are you? Uh I'm, uh, running errands.
Why? We have a session today, remember? With Russ? Ah, I'm sorry.
I forgot.
I lost track of time.
I'll be right there.
Hey.
What's your day look like? Well, Darcy and Liam canceled our playdate.
And they're moving out of town, so now I'm forced to face my worst fear, something that I've successfully avoided for the last ten years Making new friends.
Well, I think I can help you out.
You really think you can sustain three hours of enthusiasm for Theo's Hogwarts Express Lego set? Actually, yes.
Aw, sweet.
But I do have a friend in town with her 11-year-old daughter who desperately needs a break from screen time.
Boom, done! Tell them to swing by whenever.
She can just text me.
Oh, one more thing That friend is Shanice Williamson.
You know, the actress? Who was gonna play Regina in my movie? Yeah, I-I-I know who Shanice Williamson is.
She wants to She wants to have a playdate with us? - Mm-hmm.
- Will she be staying, or is this like a is this like a drop-off situation? Um, it doesn't matter.
I'll plan for both.
Uh, what d What does she eat? I mean, uh, w-w-what should I wear? Just be yourself.
You will have fun.
"Be myself.
" Rome, that's a recipe for disaster.
I gotta go.
Great! You are perfectly dressed! Let's go! Where am I going that requires sweatpants? Indoor skydiving.
Remember that gift card your mom gave us for our anniversary? Oh, the one she re-gifted us? Yeah, I do.
Wait, you really wanna do that? You know, come on.
You and me, we just need a day of having fun and laughing at whatever happens.
And in this case, it'll be you being shoved into a giant tube while an oversized fan blows you up from the bottom.
So you might want to tighten the drawstring on those pants.
Come on, come on, come on.
Adventure time.
Come on, let's do it! Let's do it! - I'm coming.
I'm coming.
- Come on.
Let's go.
Alright, dude! Here we go! One-time it! Boom! Boo-yah! Dude, you keep that up, you're gonna have to go pro.
You know that? Forget about your mom and I buying a house.
You'll be rich enough to buy it for us.
Alright.
How you feeling about this move, dude? All my friends are here.
I don't know anyone in Lenox.
You know me.
I'm taller than all your friends, and I make more money.
Ask anybody.
Look, I know how you feel.
I gotta leave all my peeps, too, which is why you and I have to have each other's backs, right? Yeah, I guess.
Alright, give me one more good one.
Let's go.
This is the game-winner.
Everything's on the line! One time! I'll tell you what.
Go get us a couple drinks from that truck, alright? First rule on the way to the hockey hall of fame is that you gotta replenish those electrolytes.
- Got it.
Be right back.
- Alright? Gary Mendez, right? We met the other day at the police station.
You picked a fight with our garbage can.
Yeah.
Sorry about that.
You didn't have to follow me all the way out here.
I could have just Venmo'd you.
Peter Benoit is in a coma.
Yeah, I heard.
Can't say I'm too broken up about it.
Well, you were pretty upset the other day at the station.
Next day, this guy's in the hospital.
You mind if I ask you where you were Tuesday night? Not at all.
I was with my dad.
What time did you leave there? Oh, must have been about 11:45.
It was during Kimmel's opening monologue, which is why my pop only gave me half a hug.
I'm his second-favorite guy with a beard.
So, you weren't at Peter's house? I don't even know where that guy lives.
Oh, uh, I just, uh, drove by your condo.
There's a "For Sale" sign out front.
Yeah, my girlfriend got transferred to Lenox.
Berkshires.
Nice escape from the big city.
Listen, man, if you think I did this, just call my dad, okay? I was with him all night.
We watched, uh, "Wheel of Fortune," a little "Jeopardy!", played some online poker.
Ah, I don't need to call him.
I'm sure you were.
You understand I'm just covering the bases.
Eventually, this guy's gonna wake up, and when he does, he can tell us himself what happened.
And if he doesn't wake up, well, that just makes things a lot more complicated.
Fuel up, 'cause you're going down! So, yeah, we're pretty good with these, right? He's gonna love you.
Really? He has no redeeming qualities? Yeah, I don't understand why you'd work with, let alone be friends with, someone who Hey, you must be Eddie.
Well, on the plus side, now I feel no pressure to have any redeeming qualities.
Eddie, this is Russ.
Hey, Russ.
It's nice to meet Um Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You didn't tell me this guy's in a wheelchair.
I may have to charge extra.
I am sorry.
I just You know, I wasn't expecting And now I guess I'm getting a taste of my own medicine.
Could have used a heads-up.
Then I would have missed this incredible moment.
So, she's in, like, movies and stuff? Uh, yes, but it's really important that we we treat her like an ordinary person.
Got it.
Are you wearing shoulder pads? Uh Hello! Welcome.
Thanks so much for having us.
I'm Shanice, and this is Kiana.
This is Theo.
Hi.
Come in! Oh.
Should we take our shoes off? Uh, no.
Um, y-you're fine.
Uh, I-I just have, um, mine off because, um, I I had on some heels that were killing me.
W-We never wear shoes in the house.
Even when we got the new dishwasher, she made the guy wear booties.
No, it You're fine.
And if, by any chance, you're into Harry Potter and Legos, there's a Hogwarts Express waiting for you.
Mom! I used to play with Legos in like fourth grade.
Oh, that's too bad.
I love Legos.
Really? Yeah, and I'm a total Potterhead.
Uh, right this way.
Wait, she said "Pot-ter head," right? Um, this is a It's a safe space here.
We're all Potterheads.
Not by choice.
It chooses us.
Can I get you a drink? And while this show is not a substitute for in-person therapy, my promise to you is I will spend all the time it takes to make each listener feel heard and understood.
And if your challenge requires more than that, I will point you in the right direction.
So, if you are just looking for quick sound bites which are really just for ratings, you should skip this, because Maggie is here, and therapy is nothing to fear.
That sounded better when I said it to the mirror this morning.
Okay, our lines are open, and for our first caller, we have Theresa from North Andover.
Theresa, you are In the Room With Dr.
Bloom.
I got a problem, Dr.
Bloom.
When I fart, it makes me cry.
Yeah, that's That's very funny.
But, in actuality, there can be a link between our emotions and good gut health.
Now, if we have any actual questions - Wow.
- Wow! I can't believe people pay to ride an industrial fan.
I want to take the person who opened that place and throw him from a real plane.
I'm sorry, baby.
I really thought - it was gonna be a lot more fun.
- Who said it wasn't fun? Now let's go home and pretend to surf in the bathtub.
I got a better idea.
Cheryl, you have a beautiful home.
Oh, thank you.
It's more space than I need now that Arthur's gone.
And according to my son, I am not fit to live alone, so I'm gonna end up living in his guest house with my unemployed granddaughter.
Fig cookie? Come on.
Wow.
I love these.
Those are my "timeless treasures.
" You got that right.
- Uh, this - That's the one my granddaughter made.
It's extra special.
It sure is.
I mean, what's going on? Is she opening the umbrella? Is she closing it? Is the rain about to fall? Is the sun coming back out? I guess we'll never know.
She's opening it.
Oh.
I guess we know.
Cheryl, do you mind showing me the, uh, light fixtures in the kitchen? They were so beautiful.
So, this is your better idea? Yeah, I knew it was a sign when I saw that huge crocodile across the parking lot.
This is where we're gonna have fun.
No, the only thing we're getting here is a stomachache.
You see, that's what I'm talking about.
We hate-watched the final season of "Game of Thrones," and we are going to hate-eat at Crocodilze with a "Z.
" See your waiter, alligator.
Restaurant bullies.
I'm in.
Oh, no.
What are we gonna do? Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Don't worry.
I got your back, right? Gary, do you want to see the bedrooms? Uh, actually, I need to see the bathroom.
It's the most important room in the house, am I right? Take anything you want.
There's some money in the safe.
We don't want your money.
We're here because we know what you did.
I-I don't know I-I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, you do.
And if I were you, I would start telling the truth right now.
- I am.
I swear.
- Hey! I want to hear you say what you did to those girls.
Girls? W-What What girls? I-I don't know what you're talking about.
Please! Okay, don't hurt me.
Please.
Next time, I do that to your head! Okay, okay, fine.
Fine, fine, fine.
I had a couple of students come over here in bathing suits.
A few times, things might have gone a little too far.
But I didn't hurt them, I swear.
What about Layla? Hey, I-I can't see you, so I-I don't know who you are.
I want you to look at me! No, I'm not looking.
I can't see you.
I want you to look at me and tell me what you did to my daughter.
You okay in there? Checking the water pressure! Shall we take our Butterbeers to go? We shall.
I'm sorry.
I should have made something more sophisticated.
Are you kidding? Floppy, greasy pizza's my jam.
Same.
"I want you in all my tomorrows.
" What? From "Clear Water Down.
" You know, the final scene, when you You pull your husband from the water and you bring him back with CPR? Oh.
Right.
Great memory.
I'm sorry.
I know I've been acting like a weirdo.
I just have to admit I am a huge fan.
I was obsessed with "Days of Our Lives" during law school.
I loved your character, and I was so sad when the bee swarm took you out.
I sound so dumb.
Not at all.
I appreciate it.
I was obsessed with the show, too, before I booked the role.
When I first met Deidre Hall, I could barely even make eye contact.
I told her it was nice to meet me, too.
I was so stressed out about meeting you.
See those flowers? I-I moved them four times.
And let me guess You are a shoe-free home? Theo was so confused.
Oh, no, you can leave them on.
Absolutely not.
I appreciate your honesty.
I am not some fragile diva.
I can abide by the rules of the house.
I assume you have some Prada slippers I can borrow? Um I'm kidding.
Look at your face! Mmm.
That looks so gross.
What's gross is how delicious it is.
The four-cheese blend is perfect.
Caramelized onions don't overpower, and there's a hint of Dijon.
Dijon.
Why didn't I ever think of that? Well, if it makes you feel any better, the chicken Parm Terrible.
Mm, mm-hmm.
You don't have to lie You're practically inhaling it.
Well, in that case, you gotta try this.
Take a bite Little one, okay? - I need this stuff.
- Mm-hmm.
We can't even hate-eat at this place.
I'm sorry, babe.
Mm-hmm.
This was a bad idea.
Yeah, it really was.
But that's okay, 'cause I got my revenge.
I told the hostess it's your birthday.
You didn't.
See your waiter, alligator.
We swung from jungle vines We slithered river miles To wish you happy birthday From crocodilze smilez, hey! Smile.
Well-played, Gina.
Gina?! Teddy? Crocodile Keith? Oh.
Oh.
29 and 30.
Darcy wasn't kidding when she said you were tough.
Oh, so, there were some compliments thrown in there? What else did she say about me? Well, that you got this killer ass that no one gets to see anymore.
Alright, she may not have said that part, but she thought it.
She definitely thought it.
So, uh how did you end up in there? Wow.
That's personal.
We've only known each other for, like, what, five minutes? I'm sorry, I didn't Hey, I'm messing with you.
- Yeah.
- I'm an open book.
Tell you what You give me a few more, I'll tell you the whole sob story.
Okay.
Yep.
So, uh, what was it, huh? Car? Bus? Evil Knievel stunt gone wrong? Mnh-mnh.
Much more exciting step-ladder.
What? I was changing a light bulb at my girlfriend's place, and I could have sworn that thing had only two steps.
I took a step back to what I thought was the ground, but it wasn't, and I felt something snap in my back.
I tried to walk it off for a couple hours.
Two days later, I couldn't feel anything from the waist down.
That was it.
You know, I don't tell everyone the real story 'cause they're always just disappointed.
I mean, it's not as sexy as a hit-and-run.
Well, at least you know who to be angry at.
Who's that? Guy who doesn't know how to use a step-ladder.
Oh.
Alright.
Okay.
If that's how it's gonna be.
Hey, next time, maybe use a crosswalk? I don't know.
Okay, we're done.
We're done! Oh, no we are done when I say we're done.
Left hand this time.
A-five, six, seven, eight.
Can't you just see it? A crib could go over here Hypothetically speaking, of course.
But I could totally see it.
Before it's the baby's room, it could be the makin'-babies room.
Ooh.
Uh are there broken shards of glass in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Um Uh Oh, my God.
What happened? Liam knocked over the very special one.
Okay, so, that's why you were acting weird in the bathroom.
Don't worry.
Cheryl didn't see.
I covered for him.
You "covered" for him? Well, when I say it, it sounds way cooler.
He's my bud.
I gotta have his back.
I know that you want to be Liam's friend, and I appreciate that you were trying to protect him, but sometimes that means helping him face the consequences, no matter how scary.
And that's not just for Liam That's for any child that we bring into this world.
Do you know what I mean? I do now.
Did you know your son broke one of my figurines? Yes, and we are very sorry.
Don't be.
I've been looking at that hideous thing for 20 years.
I've never had an excuse to get rid of it until now.
More importantly, he came and apologized.
That kind of honesty is very rare.
Well, trust me, he gets it all from her.
Well, whatever you're doing to raise such a great son, I want you to keep doing it in this house.
- It's yours.
- No way.
Oh, my God! Thank you so much.
- Oh, my God! - Ahhh! Cheryl, get over here.
Come on, you're changing lives.
Let's do this.
Ohhh! Ow.
I'm sorry.
I'm just so happy.
There was this woman, and we were together every single day.
And then, she was just gone.
Her name was Dr.
Stacy, and she got replaced by an uptight - I thought we screen these.
- Oh, we do.
He said he was calling about abandonment issues.
Two minutes to traffic and weather.
Alright.
I get it.
I'm the new kid.
You're hazing me.
But you should know that I started a new school at 9 years old with headgear and a back brace, so bring it.
You're In The Room With Dr.
Bloom.
Hi.
Um, am I on? Yeah, alright, who's this? Is this, uh, Seymour Butts, or Ivana Tinkle, - which - Oh, no.
My name is Jonah Jonah St Oh, d Uh, no.
Don't say your name.
I'm so sorry.
Uh go ahead, Jonah.
Okay.
I-I called because I'm scared.
What is scaring you? My mom drinks a lot.
Sometimes she drives.
Jonah, are you safe right now? Yeah.
My mom's at work.
I'm home with my brother and uncle.
They don't know I'm calling.
I see.
And are you ever in the car with your mom when she's been drinking? She doesn't drive with us in the car but I want her to be safe, too.
Of course you do.
Have you told her that? Once.
It made her cry.
She gets sad a lot.
But when she's happy, she's the best mom in the world.
It must be hard not to know which person you're gonna get.
It is.
Well, I want you to know that you've done nothing wrong, and what is going on with her is not your fault.
We all need help sometimes, and your mom is no different.
How do I get her help? Well, you reaching out is a great first step.
I'm proud of you.
Maggie, it's time for traffic and weather.
Jonah, is there another adult in your life you feel safe talking to? Uh, maybe my uncle? Jonah, d-don't go anywhere.
For our listeners, you're gonna have to wait to the next half-hour for your weather and traffic report.
You can't do that.
Hello? Are you there? Yes, I am here, Jonah.
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
Ah, wow.
It is so good to see you guys.
Ah, you too, Teddy.
And Happy Birthday, by the way.
I never knew you were a Leo! I'm an Aries! That explains why we always got along so well.
A-Actually, it's not.
Totally It's not his birthday.
Oh.
To be honest I had an interview this morning at the Crocodilze across town, and, uh, didn't seem like they were that into me, so we came here to be brats about it.
Yeah, sorry.
I know, that's not cool.
No, no, no, no.
I get it.
And, look, this place isn't as fancy as Someday, but it's a gig.
And right now, I'm just happy with the steady paycheck.
But they make you do double duty as Crocodile Keith.
- That's pretty rough.
- "Make me"? No, I-I asked if I could be Crocodile Keith.
- Oh.
- Yeah! I get to come out here for all the birthdays and put a smile on people's faces.
I mean, it's why I got into hospitality in the first place.
And, hey, the Crocodilze across town does suck.
But, um, one of my roommates is a manager here.
So, if you want in, I can make it happen.
And by the way, the employee discount here is insane! Hmm.
Your husband had a baby with another woman? No wonder you stopped watching "Days of Our Lives.
" You had all the soap opera you needed in real life.
Well, at least my divorce didn't end up on the cover of Us Weekly.
Not that I read that trash.
Only when I'm at the salon.
And the doctor.
And the dentist.
Well, with Dennis and me, it wasn't as dramatic as those tabloids made it look.
He's a great dad.
But I knew I was only staying in it for Kiana.
Eventually, she was going to leave, and he and I would be two strangers staring back at each other.
Do you ever worry about the story we're telling our kids about relationships and commitment? I mean, my parents stayed together their whole lives until my dad passed away.
My parents are still together but they're not happy.
My mom always says, "A vow is a vow.
" Which is why it was so hard for me to leave Dennis.
But I didn't want to set that same example for Kiana.
I want her to know that her own happiness is important.
And that's the story that you're writing for Theo.
Cheers to that.
Gotta love root beer.
Well, you know that's a twist cap, right? Oh, yeah, I know.
But you're gonna want to use that move when you start dating again, 'cause it never fails to impress the ladies.
Uh-huh.
So, you and the girlfriend with the broken light bulb You guys make it? Nah.
I mean, we tried at first.
It was her way of dealing with the guilt.
- Mm.
- But, ultimately, life with a partner who uses a chair just wasn't the way she played Barbies when she was little.
Well, I'm sorry.
Well, I'm not.
If we'd stayed together in the long run, I'd be dealing with a wheelchair and alimony.
How are you so okay with all of this? Oh, I have my bad days.
I mean, look, man, having to use a wheelchair Yeah, it can totally suck sometimes.
Everyday things that you used to take for granted are so much harder now.
But I love what I do.
And I don't know if that would have been the case if I didn't get injured.
So, now I get to spend my life helping people get their lives back.
Speaking of, from what Darcy tells me Yeah, you've been in recovery phase one long enough.
It's time for phase two.
