Good Trouble (2019) s04e15 Episode Script

1
What if we partner
with a brand influencer
that can help promote Bulk Beauty?
Zelda Grant has over
10 million followers.
I'd like to accept.
Evan, you never responded to my texts.
I don't think it's appropriate
for there to be an us,
now that we're working together again.
I'm working and living on a farm.
We call this place The Colony.
I'm Silas.
You should've heard this guy Silas talk.
He's got, like, all these
women living and working there.
I think Jenna's in a cult.
Elliot's always been an anxious kid.
I feel like I'm screwing all this up.
Laura did most of the parenting.
I had a son.
His name is Jacob,
and he died when he was six years old.
Dennis, I just don't have
time for casual dating.
I'm not interested in casual dating.
I want a serious relationship,
and kids.
I want us to be a family.
I wanna marry you.
Isabella, this is your father.
If I don't see proof that you're serious
about putting the baby up for adoption,
you'll leave me no choice
but to press charg
Isabella Tavez,
we have a warrant for your arrest.
Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I got you.
But you're gone.
I got you.
I don't know what happened.
I just
I snapped.
I think I was so blindsided
with my parents saying we should
place the baby for adoption.
And then I saw my father's car
with his stupid Car P DM vanity plate,
I just I was so, like,
just overcome with anger.
And
I just wanted to, like
I wanted to hit back.
Okay. I understand.
But, Isabella, why didn't
you tell me about it?
I was just afraid of what
you would think of me.
I didn't want you to think that
I was, like, crazy or something.
Gael, I have never done
anything like this ever, okay?
I swear!
- Okay?
- I believe you.
Smile.
So tell me the origins of
this all-women-owned app.
Well, uh, we all met while
working at Speckulate.
We called ourselves
the Fight Club Girls.
I love that. Why?
We were among the few female employees
at Speckulate at the time.
And it was a real boys' club
Like tech can be.
And And we got to talking
about how great it would be
to work for ourselves someday.
And then we found the courage to quit
and bet on our own ideas.
And I was so totally blown
away by their one-stop-app
for the eco-conscious beauty consumer,
I literally begged them
to let me jump on board
because I knew my fans
would love an app like this.
Great going, ladies.
What's up, TikTok babes?
I'm inviting you all to
download the Bulk Beauty app
and join me using the
#sustainablebeauty challenge!
One of my favorite things
about the Bulk Beauty app
is the community.
The app invites you to
share product reviews
with women you're connected to.
And I can access my
Bulk Beauty is the best,
and I got this for a discounted price.
50% off if you
We've reached 250,000 subscribers!
289,000!
We just hit 300,000 subscribers!
What!
So
what happened at your old school?
Why did you wanna stop going?
The kids were mean.
Mean about what?
You know, I got bullied in
school when I was your age.
Really? Why?
Well, the kids teased
me about my weight.
And And the fact
that I didn't have a dad.
I mean, I had a dad,
but he left when I was pretty young.
Hey!
Looks like you two had fun today.
- Davia makes everything fun.
- Ah!
Hey, can she stay for dinner?
I'd love to!
- Yes!
- Yes.
The sentencing hearing has
been scheduled for Friday.
That That soon?
Hey, the sooner we get through
this, the better, right?
What's the worst-case scenario?
Worst case, you get jail time.
Wait, how how much jail time?
Could I Could I give birth in prison?
You'd probably be looking
at six to nine months.
But I spoke with my boss, Kathleen.
This is your first offense,
and you're taking
responsibility for your actions,
so we highly doubt
you'll get anything more
than community service.
Hey, whatever happens,
we're gonna get through
this together, okay?
Okay.
Elliot is really doing
great with his schoolwork,
but I feel like he's
missing out on so much
by being homeschooled.
Socially, academically,
not being in a classroom
Have Have you considered
having him talk to
someone about his anxiety?
Well, Laura took him
to a psychiatrist once,
but they just wanted to medicate him.
Well, some kids really
benefit from medication.
But there are other options
that a therapist can explore.
Have you ever thought maybe
Elliot's refusal to go to school
has something to do
with his mother leaving?
Elliot had these issues
long before she left.
This is nothing new.
What Elliot needs is
structure and consistency.
We're doing fine.
Even better since you
came into our lives.
Well, I'm flattered,
but this is beyond my skill set.
And I really think
that the goal should be
getting Elliot back in school.
I'm not going back to school.
Calm down, buddy. We
were just talking
No! I I won't go back!
Well, you have to go back eventually.
Not right away,
but it would be good
for you to be with other kids.
No! I hate other kids.
I hate everyone! I'm not going back!
We've more than doubled our
users in just a few weeks
- Wow.
- which is insane.
- Do you have any water?
- Yeah.
Zelda wasn't cheap, but
she was worth every penny.
Which is why we're
thinking of hiring her again
for another promotion cycle.
It's a lot of money, but
strike while the iron's hot, right?
Hey, sounds smart to me.
I'm really happy for you.
Thank you.
So anything new on Silas?
Yeah, something pretty big, actually.
So I finally got a copy
of the license for Silas' honey company.
And now I know why we haven't been able
to find anything solid
on Silas Thompson.
'Cause he's not a real person.
- What?
- Yeah.
Silas' real name is Gary Brecker.
I don't know why I didn't
think of him using an alias.
But feels like we've
we've just been wasting
the past few weeks
going down a rabbit hole,
when what I should've done is
just staked out the farmers' market
until Jenna showed up.
And then, you would have gotten arrested
for violating your restraining order.
Besides, what would you have said to her
that you haven't said already?
She's not gonna leave that place
unless we can prove that
Silas is a fraud. Or Gary.
And she probably doesn't even
know that's his real name.
- Yeah.
- Have you
done a social media
search on Gary Brecker?
Well, I hadn't had the chance yet
when someone came by and distracted me.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get to work.
All right.
By the way, I know
this is a casual thing,
but maybe you'd let me
take you to dinner sometime?
Just as a thank you for all your help.
Sure, I'd like that.
Okay.
Oh, my God!
What, is Harry Styles coming to LA?
No! Better!
Asher, Elliot's dad, made
a therapy appointment.
Well, you know you're getting old
when therapy is more
exciting than a boy band.
Okay, boomer.
I'm not a boomer.
It was a joke because One
Direction's been on hiatus since 2015.
Wow.
Oh. And, uh, apparently,
the therapist would like to
meet with Asher and me first.
Is that weird?
- I think it's weird.
- I don't.
- I mean, I'm dealing with him all day.
- And night.
How many nights have you
spent at dinner over there?
Interesting.
How many nights are you
eating dinner with Ryan?
I'm dating Ryan.
Are you dating what's-his-nuts?
No! I'm his son's teacher.
So, uh, what's this Asher guy look like?
Like a frat-ier version
of you, actually.
Is that even possible?
I just think that there
needs to be boundaries.
I mean, you're not
this guy's life coach.
I know that!
And neither are you! Mine!
You know what I mean!
I'm not trying to save anyone.
I learned my lesson with you.
Oh-ho-ho! Burn! Good one.
If I didn't know any
better, which I don't
I'd say you're a tad bit jealous.
- I'm really impressed that you do this.
- Mm.
And the food's actually pretty good.
Oh-ho! Okay. Solid 7 out of 10?
- Uh, 7.5.
- 7.5
Yeah, but the heart behind
it makes it a total 10.
- I'm a fairy princess.
- Ah
And we have to crown her queen
before the evil fairy shows up.
- Come help us!
- Oh
Uh, excuse me.
Um, trouble is brewing
in Fairy Princess Land.
And I'm needed at
the princess' coronation.
Understood. Good luck.
I had a dream last night
about, uh, Jacob.
I haven't dreamt about him in a while.
He was older, like the age he'd be now.
Usually, when I dream about him,
at some point, it hits me: he's dead.
And he vanishes.
That didn't happen this time?
No, I thought it would,
but he offered me his hand,
I took it,
and we ran away.
I wonder what that means.
I don't know.
Maybe it means my days are numbered,
and he's walking me into the light.
Stop it.
I think it might have to do with
a conversation I had with Ryan.
I might've given her the impression
that I was open to
having a baby with her,
you know, if things keep progressing.
But you don't want another kid?
I don't think so.
You think it's a deal breaker?
I think it might be.
Tiara! I found it!
Hurry! Before the evil fairy comes!
Thank you, both, for being here.
Davia, I'm interested in your
point of view as Elliot's teacher,
but I'd like to start with Asher.
Tell me about Elliot.
Um
My son's always had a
lot of social anxiety.
Uh, he didn't have many friends,
which made him an easy
target for bullies.
But the panic attacks began recently?
Has anything new
happened in Elliot's life?
My wife and I separated.
That's significant.
Does Elliot live with you
or does he go back and forth?
Elliot lives with me.
His mother's been traveling in Europe.
He video chats with
her about once a week,
when she has reception.
And when was the last time
Elliot saw his mother in person?
Um
The day that she told
us she was leaving.
She told you and Elliot together?
Yeah, she sat us down
and told us that she wasn't happy
and that she needed
to leave for a while.
That must've been very painful for you.
We We're not here to talk about me.
Had Elliot ever refused to go to school
before his mother left?
Yes, but Laura always got him there.
Like I said, my son's
always had social anxiety.
He's never liked school.
So what we need to focus on
is how to get him back
into a real classroom.
Eventually.
There's no hurry.
Cognitive behavioral
therapy can be very effective
for children with anxiety.
And there are tools
that can be implemented at
home and during Davia's lessons
to help him cope with triggers.
O Okay. Great!
What are those?
Hi, there.
My space car.
I see that. That's right.
And you're a really good driver.
- Pilot.
- Oh, right.
Of course, pilot. Yep.
- Zoom. Zoom. Rrr
- Oh! So fast! Yeah.
Well
Okay. Do you wanna
go over to the trains?
You're here late.
You are too.
Well, my app isn't going
as well as Bulk Beauty's.
Hiring Zelda was the right move.
Definitely was. Agreed.
Oh, uh, the elevator's not working.
We have to take the stairs.
Oh, good. I need to get my steps in.
After you.
Since things are going so well,
we should be able to give you
our first quarterly payment this week
and, hopefully, buy you
out by the end of next year.
That's great. Sounds good.
It's locked.
- It's locked!
- It's locked.
- It's locked.
- Locked.
Locked.
Are we the last ones in the building?
What if
What if we're trapped in here all night?
Okay, don't panic.
We'll just call someone.
- Do you have service?
- No.
What if no one finds
us until the morning?
Hello!
Hello, can you hear us?
Is anyone out there?
- Help!
- We're banging on the door!
Hello! Can you hear us?
Ugh, I can't believe this.
Are you hungry?
Are you trying to torture me?
Why would I be trying to torture you?
It It was a joke.
Because there's no food in here.
Oh, I have a protein bar.
We can split it.
Oh, okay.
No, I can't
I can't be trapped in here anymore.
Hello? Can anyone hear me?
Try to breathe.
Don't think about it like being trapped.
And, you know, at least we're together.
Is anyone there? Help! Hello!
Wow. Thanks a lot.
What?
I said, "At least we're together,"
and you started pounding
on the door again.
Do you really hate being
around me that much?
Of course not.
Well, you could've fooled me.
You've been so cold
and shut down around me,
and I don't know why.
You didn't even stay at the launch party
when you said that you would.
I get that you were
hurt when we broke up,
but at the time, I had no choice.
And when I tried to reach
out so we could talk about us,
- you totally blew me off.
- I
I didn't blow you off.
I came to The Coterie to talk in person,
but you were kissing
somebody in your loft.
So I left.
You saw me with Joaquin.
I don't know his name.
The back of his head is very distinctive
with hipster neck
tattoos and whatnot.
That was the same back of the head
that I saw talking to you
at the launch party.
And touching your elbow
in a flirtatious manner.
So that's why you're upset with me?
Because you thought you saw
me kissing some other guy.
Well, I wasn't.
Joaquin kissed me.
So, uh
What does that mean?
Hey.
What are you doing out here?
I'm just taking in the mountains
in your beautiful backyard.
I've never lived anywhere
with a backyard before.
Laura found this house and decorated it.
As you can tell.
I wasn't much of a suburbs
guy, but I got used to it.
Well, I can see why.
Wide streets, ample parking, quiet.
I mean, I love living downtown,
but this is tempting.
Thank you for going to
therapy with me yesterday.
I think this CBT is going
to be great for Elliot.
And she said it might be
only about ten sessions.
I think it's gonna be
really helpful for Elliot
- to have someone to talk to.
- Hmm.
And what about you?
Ever thought about talking to someone?
About what?
About your wife leaving.
Hey. What are you guys doing?
We were just talking.
About your mom.
It's fine, Elliot.
Why do you always say that?
Aren't you sad Mom left?
Of course, I'm sad.
You don't seem like it.
You act like nothing happened.
Did Mom leave because of me?
Hey, wh why would you think that?
Because I'm bad?
Why would you think you're bad?
Because I don't have any friends,
I don't like school,
I get upset at things.
Maybe Mom just got tired of
having to take care of me.
Isn't that why you want to leave?
I I don't wanna leave, Elliot.
Okay. Hey. Hey. Hey. Let's go inside.
Okay, come on, let's sit down.
Is everyone ready?
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, we are, Your Honor.
Elliot
your mom left
because she wasn't happy with me.
Then why did she tell us
both that she wasn't happy?
I think maybe your mom
was unhappy with herself,
inside.
And that has nothing to
do with you or your dad.
Sometimes people try
to fix their unhappiness
by running away,
even from the people they love.
And, Elliot, I am sad
that your mom is gone.
And I thought that by
holding my sadness in,
I was being strong for you.
But maybe I was just trying
to avoid feeling the bad
feelings because it hurts.
It's okay, Dad.
You have me.
Elliot, I promise you,
I am never going to leave you.
Ever.
Good morning.
Hi, how late did you stay last night?
- Just a little after midnight.
- Oof!
Well, with greater
success comes greater work.
I was up so late, I
can't even see straight.
Hey!
I'm so psyched y'all
wanna do another campaign.
We're so happy to have you
as our brand influencer.
Yeah, and part of the team!
Me too!
And we've just been
approached by Pertutti,
which is this huge,
intentionally inclusive brand.
Pertutti means "for all" in Italian.
They want us to promote
their line of menstrual hygiene products
on our app, with their tagline:
"For people who have periods."
Wait, why "people" and not just "women"?
I mean, only women get periods.
Well, trans men and non-binary
people can also get periods.
Whatever.
I've got some really fun
ideas for the next campaign,
but I've got to run for now.
Let's get a meeting on the books.
What was that?
Did she just scoff?
- Yeah, she definitely scoffed.
- Yeah.
Unfortunately, some women believe
that trans and non-binary people
should be excluded from things
that they consider to be only for women.
Uh, but we want all people to
feel welcomed by Bulk Beauty,
regardless of how they identify.
We don't want someone with
beliefs like that representing us,
do we?
Well, maybe she
misunderstood what we said.
Or we misunderstood what she said.
We just asked her to
do another campaign.
Will the defendant please stand?
It is my understanding the
State has offered a plea
by which the felony charge
will be reduced to a misdemeanor.
Is that correct, Counselors?
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Yes, Your Honor.
And, Ms. Tavez,
do you understand that
if I accept your plea,
you will be convicted of the crime
to which you are pleading guilty today
and you will not have a trial?
Yes, I understand.
And, uh
I just want to say how sorry I
am for my actions, Your Honor.
I think that apology
belongs to your parents.
I'm disturbed by what
you did to their car.
And, frankly, worried
about your impulse control
in spite of this being
your first offense.
But the court accepts defendant's plea
and sentences Ms. Tavez to
50 hours of community service
and 18 months of summary probation.
I'll hear the next case.
Your Honor, we're Isabella's parents.
May we address the court?
Quickly.
My wife and I would like
the court to intervene
for the safety of our daughter's child.
Isabella has a history of
erratic, dangerous behavior
and anger management issues.
Objection.
She was expelled from high school,
has been caught
shoplifting multiple times,
and she burned our wedding album once
in a fit of rage.
Nearly burned our house down.
Objection!
This is improper, Your
Honor. My client
We love our daughter,
but she's not fit to be a mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Tavez, I
appreciate your concern,
but this isn't going to
be heard in my courtroom.
Any concerns for the baby's safety
should be addressed in family court.
There, you can request Child
Protective Services' oversight
once the baby is born.
Next case, please.
What's the story with that piece?
I used to have a large
photo of my son there.
Put it up when I was in
a particularly dark place.
Trying to hold his memory close.
Then I realized it was
keeping the pain close too.
But I couldn't imagine bringing it down,
so I asked Gael to
do something over it.
Something beautiful
that I could look at,
and had Jacob inside it.
I can't imagine what it
would be like to lose a child.
I'm so sorry.
When you asked me what we were doing,
and you said you wanted
to have kids soon,
I may have given you the impression
that I was open to that.
Is that something
you're not open to?
I didn't think I was.
Until we were at the hospital
and that little boy jumped up on my lap
with his little car.
Took my hand.
Reminded me of a dream
I had about Jacob,
where he took my hand.
Still don't really know
what it means, but
Well
Maybe he's giving me permission, uh
To be happy?
To give all the love you have
to another beautiful soul.
Maybe.
I know there are no guarantees.
I just
I wanted to know that you're
open to all possibilities
and that there's nothing
and no one else holding you back.
I am open to all possibilities,
even having another child someday.
You've hardly said
anything to me since court.
I'm just processing everything.
Some of what my parents said was true,
but I was a teenager at that time.
I I'm a different
person now. I've changed.
Isabella, you smashed your
parents' car just last month.
I was trying to protect our baby.
How is lashing out and
risking your freedom,
protecting the baby?
You could've gone to jail, Isabella!
See, I I I knew that
you were gonna do that.
That That's exactly
why I didn't tell you.
'Cause I knew that you
were going to judge me!
I'm not judging you. I'm
just trying to understand.
- Can you please just sit down?
- What does this mean?
Are Are you gonna leave
me? Have your feelings changed?
No! But I think we should
talk about what happened!
You said that you wanted to
marry me after the wedding.
That was weeks ago,
and you haven't said
anything about it since.
Why is that?
Because we've had bigger
things to deal with.
You're lying.
- You're lying to me.
- Isabella, please.
No, because you you never loved me.
You You never chose me.
You just You just
wanted to be with me
because I'm having the baby!
- Isabella!
- You never loved me!
- And you never wanted to marry me!
- Isabella, stop. Stop!
Shit!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Gael, I I didn't mean to hit you.
- Don't. Don't. Don't touch me.
- I didn't mean
Just get away from me!
Thank you. Again.
You've done so much for
us in such a short time.
Well, I'm happy to help.
Something you said to me
really made a lot of sense.
Laura was never really happy.
And I think she thought
that getting married and
having Elliot would change that.
And then when it didn't, she
Anyway, the point is,
I think I should find
someone to talk to.
I don't expect you to be our therapist.
I'm happy to hear that
because I am no longer in
the saving-people business.
- I'll see you on Monday.
- See you.
Good night.
Come and rest with me ♪
Hey. You ready for dinner?
Actually, I had a rough day.
And I was wondering if we
could do dinner another time?
I'm sorry, I just
I I don't think I would
be good company tonight.
Yeah, no. Sure. It's no problem.
Thanks for understanding.
So that's why you're upset with me?
Because you thought you saw
me kissing some other guy?
Well, I wasn't.
Joaquin kissed me.
So, uh
What does that mean?
Excuse me.
- No, no, no, no!
- Wait, let us out!
So
he was kissing you, but
you weren't kissing him?
Right.
Nothing was going on between us.
Then.
Then?
Nothing was going on then.
And I did want to talk to
you that night about us.
But after you were so cold to me
and you insisted on keeping
everything professional,
I did sort of get involved with Joaquin.
I see.
Well, I guess there's nothing
more to say. Good night then.
I'm sorry to wake you up.
It's okay.
What's going on?
I'm really freaking out, man.
