Servant (2019) s04e02 Episode Script

Jericho.
Mommy's right here!
This meal should be special.
I don't wanna shock her system.
She's been eating pretty bland
in the hospital the last few months.
Don't you have GQ this morning?
It's Dorothy's first day back,
so she might need me.
What Dorothy needs is normalcy.
You should go.
I should stay.
We can handle things here for a morning.
Go, get dressed.
GQ's waiting.
Morning.
- No. I told Sean. I don't want
- Well, Sean had to go to work.
But don't worry, he knows
that you're in good hands.
Where's my son?
- Okay, let's sit you up
- Don't touch me.
I'm fine.
You're in pain, Dorothy.
I'll heal. Go away.
I understand that you're hurting,
but you don't need to be cruel.
Now, you ring this if you need me.
Nobody else is gonna bother you today.
So you can relax.
Well, she won't touch the oatmeal.
You look nice.
Do you think that you could make this?
It shouldn't be too hard, and I'm sure
Dorothy would really appreciate it.
I wanna spend some time
with Jericho before lunch.
Yeah, this is not gonna
taste like Sean's.
Fine.
Oh, Leanne, I don't know if we should
be together while Dorothy's home.
Well, Sean has to work.
Dorothy has to heal.
We have to be them now.
The mass exodus
out of the city and into the suburbs
is a contentious topic
amongst Philadelphia natives.
Is our quaint and historic town
losing its charm?
Marcia, a longtime local and mom
of three, shares her inside opinion.
Philly isn't what it used to be.
The city's dir
You really shouldn't be watching this.
Our city's just as beautiful
as it's ever been.
Julian made you shakshuka.
Isn't that sweet?
We, uh, thought that you might need
something with a little bit more flavor.
Where's my brother? I wanna see him.
Maybe in a little.
How are you feeling?
Itchy and in pain.
And I don't want you anywhere near me.
Well, I'll speak to your doctor
about upping your medication.
Time to eat.
Dorothy.
- Come on. Just one little bite.
- No.
- Oh!
- There you go.
Now, I know that that was an accident.
Sean said that your stomach
might take a little while to readjust.
Hey, look, I wanna show you something.
I made you this as a welcome home gift.
It's made out of all of
Jericho's old clothes,
the ones that he's grown out of
since you've been away.
He's gotten really big.
That's a mother's job
to get rid of all his old clothes.
Not yours.
Now you've taken that away from me too.
Hey, what's up?
Is everything all right?
Dorothy's not answering my calls.
Everything's going fine.
I'm sure she's just resting.
You in Leanne's closet?
Oh, I thought you
wanted to talk in private.
Okay. Can you have, uh,
Dorothy call me? I wanna check in.
Don't worry, Sean.
Okay, the worst of it is over.
I understand that you're angry at me.
But what happened on the stairs
was an accident.
And I'm I'm very sorry
about the blanket.
That was wrong of me to not ask you.
I have a surprise lunch guest.
- Oh, my sweet boy.
- Mmm.
Oh, Mommy missed you so much.
Give him to me.
Two bites first.
Two more. Just like that.
- Come here.
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.
- Hi.
- You gonna see Mommy? Huh?
- Hi.
- You're so big. Oh, my goodness.
- Put you down.
Are you a good crawler?
- Yeah?
- Mmm.
You know, I think he's
gonna walk really soon.
- Yeah. Oh.
- Oh.
Oh, I know I can't pick you up yet,
but when I do, oh, I'm gonna
hold on to you.
Yes. And then it's just gonna be me
and you forever and ever, little one.
Okay. I think that
that's enough for today.
No. No, I only had him for a minute.
You can't overexert yourself,
Dorothy. Doctor's orders.
Please.
I hate you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Everything okay?
Dorothy just got back from the hospital.
She thinks she knows what's
best for her, but she doesn't.
She said that she, um
Sometimes
I find it best to just show
people you trust them.
What up, Tobes?
What are you doing here?
Sean asked me to handle a couple
things while he's in production.
So, I might be around.
What are you doing here?
For Dorothy.
Ow.
Hey, cutie!
I've come for a visit
with our warrior queen.
She's resting right now.
Maybe another time?
She texted me.
I'll show myself up.
Just Excuse me.
- Are these Miel?
- Fiore's.
Oh. Mmm, mmm!
Oh, my God, they're unreal.
Only the best for my girl.
I brought flowers for Dorothy.
Kort, can you close the door?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Is Dorothy okay? She called,
asked me to come home.
She called you?
Have you seen what's going on outside?
Sean, Dorothy was asking for you.
What's going on?
- Gonna need a new tank.
- I know, I know!
We first noticed it
What the fuck?
- Clear.
- All right, coming down.
Got it.
- Bedbugs.
- Gross!
It looks like it's the
whole neighborhood.
It says here to check the seams.
Ugh!
- Fuck!
- Ew! Ew, ew, ew. Oh.
I feel like they're all over me.
What the fuck are we gonna do
about Dorothy?
God. I'm calling Frank!
What's going on?
Hello?
Your call is very important to us.
- Please stay on the line
- Oh, fuck.
will be with you shortly.
Your call is very important to us.
Please stay on the line,
and a representative
will be with you shortly.
Jesus.
Dad?
I, for one, will not be
destroying my suit.
It's Tom Ford.
Did you call the exterminator?
I've been on hold
for 30 fucking minutes.
Oh, Lord.
How's Dorothy?
I haven't been up there. She's
been texting the whole time.
I don't think we can move her,
so I don't know what to say.
Well, let's leave it that way.
No use frightening her. Wait
until we can get some help.
She might injure herself trying to move.
Oh, she's okay. I think
Leanne's with her.
Hold still.
What are you doing?
A little self-care goes a long way.
I know you haven't been yourself
lately. This will help.
Leanne.
I used to shave my uncle,
so I have a very steady hand.
Where is everyone? Where's Kourtney?
I think she's having a shower.
A shower?
You know, you really didn't need to
call Kourtney or Sean.
I mean, we're fine.
You and me, on our own.
Leanne, get off me!
Ow!
Fine, I'll leave you half-finished
if that's what you want.
Here, why don't we
do a little bit of color?
- Here, why don't we try a little color?
- What, no!
Fuck!
Cheers.
So, may I be so bold
as to broach the subject of you
banging the nanny?
You're one to talk.
Kourtney's been around,
what, nine, ten months now?
When's her expiration date?
She makes me happy, Julian.
They all did for a while, at least.
She make you happy? The nanny.
Leanne.
I don't know.
Feels
I can't quite explain it.
What the fuck?
I came as soon as you called,
but we're dealing with something.
Dorothy, I don't want to freak you out,
but we have bedbugs.
Bedbugs?
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
I've been itching all day!
The whole neighborhood's infested.
I mean, they're trying to clean it up,
but it's moving so slow.
They don't know what's happening,
but I'm gonna get you out of here.
- Don't worry.
- Don't worry?
Do you see the situation I'm in?
Well, I could I could
try and move you myself.
- No.
- Come on, let me help you.
If it hurts, I'll stop.
No! I'd rather be bitten by bugs
than have you touch me.
How could you say that?
You left me alone with her.
Dorothy.
Hand me my phone.
Send Kourtney in.
You didn't want one
of these cool outfits?
I'll be fine.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I don't get it.
It doesn't matter how much
I give you, Sean, Dorothy.
You're all still miserable all the time.
It's not as simple as that.
Do you know how horrible it feels
to be taken for granted, Julian?
It's infuriating. It's like bugs
crawling under your skin.
It's time for Dorothy to eliminate.
We were having a private discussion.
Go. Make that call for me.
Will you be okay?
I'll be fine.
You need my help.
Ow!
Accidents happen.
But I'm always here
to clean up after you, aren't I?
Arms up.
Ow!
I'll wash these for you.
Fuck.
When are the exterminators coming?
- Three hours.
- Three hours!
I was outbid. Our neighbors paid triple.
There's six trucks out there.
One of them is gonna help.
- I'll go!
- Hold
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
- Hey!
- Hey, man.
I've been on the phone to every
goddamn bug company in this city,
and I live right goddamn there.
Clearly, there's idle bodies,
so if you could just find
someone to help us out,
I'd be the happiest fucking man alive.
Yeah, I don't make the rules, bro.
Well, can you find someone who does?
Brb.
- Fantastic, isn't it?
- God.
Her gifts grow every day.
You must be in awe.
What are you talking about?
She did this to protect us
from those who wish to do us harm.
Don't you see? There's a war afoot.
She's shielding us.
Shielding your family.
God, you people are something else.
Sorry to break it to you,
but I think this is more of an issue of
hygiene and negligence, not voodoo.
You can feel it, can't you?
When you're close to her.
There is something that pulls you in,
tells you that she is the way.
It's her power.
You're still here?
Yeah, they told me to wait
until the exterminators left.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
for you to get trapped here.
You didn't do anything.
My abuela made me this mole
every time I had a bad day.
Like when I didn't make the soccer team
or the basketball team.
Let's just say she made it a lot.
I figured everyone could use
a little comfort food today.
You made this for me?
Uh-huh.
Yeah?
This is nice.
Okay.
Who is it?
Oh, God.
I'll eat as many bites as you want.
Just let me see my son.
You used to like me.
We danced.
We'd plant flowers.
We'd tell secrets.
Girl time, do you remember?
What happened to that?
I realized what you are.
What am I?
You're evil.
Mmm.
Do you want to hear a secret, Dorothy?
I'm starting to realize things
about the people around you.
Sean, Julian, they love you very much.
But you know what I think,
that even more than that,
they're afraid of me.
Used to bother me, but I'm
starting not to mind so much.
In fact, I think that they're so afraid
that they probably wouldn't
step foot inside this room
if they knew I was in here.
Probably not even if you screamed.
Right now, I'm all you've got.
- How many houses were affected?
- What?
How many houses were affected?
I don't know, man. Fifteen?
Twenty? Damn near the whole block.
I don't get it. I left the
GQ interview halfway through,
but now they're
demanding that I come back
to do a bigger interview tomorrow.
It's like I can't do wrong.
- That's great, Chef.
- There, there, darling.
My skin is on fire, Frank.
Get me out of this house!
Dorothy?
Leanne.
Who are they?
They're the live-in nurses
that I've hired to help me.
Kourtney and I have been
researching options all day.
What? Why?
I think you know why.
You can go now.
You're not going to win
this battle, Leanne.
I'm trying very hard not to get angry.
