Good Trouble (2019) s04e18 Episode Script

Did we ever hear back about
an audition for that movie yet?
The director, Georgia Jackson,
is staying at The Broxton Hotel
right here in downtown LA!
All we have to do is
go stake out the hotel,
and then you sell her
on bringing you in for an audition.
Wait.
I kind of like what you
brought to the table.
If you wanna audition, great.
Otherwise
I found money in my discretionary fund
to build the women's center.
What about the encampment?
They'll have to move.
I love you.
I love you too.
But I want it with one person,
in one relationship.
Davia, do you love her?
Yes, I do. She's my friend.
Maybe we could do this again
as more than dinner with a friend.
- Hello?
- Mom!
Laura, what are you doing here?
I don't know if I know
how to love anyone.
Which is why I think
we should place the baby for adoption.
We call this place "The Colony."
I'm Silas.
He just sucks these women in,
and then he takes advantage of them.
I need her to see who
this guy really is.
You can't violate
your restraining order.
We'll find another way.
Welcome to the farm, Mariana.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
What's your last name?
Uh, Hernandez.
Well, Mariana Hernandez.
Sugar likes you.
Oh, well, she's so sweet.
Horses are very intuitive.
They can sense a person's energy.
Their true intentions.
I have that gift.
Oh.
What do you sense about me?
That you're searching.
For something.
Or for someone.
What makes you think that?
You strike me as lonely.
Deep inside.
Like you were abandoned at a young age
or maybe more recently.
Someone close left you.
I am searching.
For a place to call home.
Well, maybe you found that place.
And your people.
You must be the homeschool teacher
that Elliot's told me so much about.
- Yes.
- This is Davia.
Davia, this is Laura.
Hi.
- Is that for me?
- Yes.
I've been wanting one of these!
Thank you, Mom!
You're welcome, sweetie.
Dad, can I play with this now?
No. No, maybe you can play later.
Okay.
- So how long are you staying?
- Well, I'm back.
For good.
Yes! I've missed you so much.
Oh, me too.
Okay, Elliot, it's time
to go back to school.
Yeah, come on, let's go!
Brown dwarf stars await.
Cool.
Ahh!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, man!
Sorry.
I can't believe you got
an audition instead of me.
Only because you weren't
committed to the scene.
Now you're a critic too?
You're so scared, Alice!
No one is gonna hire an actor
who can't even own the air she breathes.
I do too own the air I breathe. Watch.
Oops. I think a little booger
just flew out. You good?
The point is, you have to be
able to sell yourself, Alice.
If you don't believe in you,
no one else, besides me, ever will!
Okay, well, how? I
didn't get an audition.
Yeah, but I did.
I can't do this anymore.
I I can't.
With the communal bathroom,
and the lack of privacy and
Three's a crowd with a cockroach.
Oooh.
I am too old for this.
And so are you.
- I have an idea.
- Yeah?
Why don't
you move in with me?
We could wake up every morning
together in peace and quiet.
And we have significantly fewer
insects and mice.
Mmm, I thought you liked the mice.
I do!
I do.
We could get some mice for my house.
- Come on, what do you say?
- Hmm.
Let's blow this Popsicle stand
and live together.
My ex
I found out that he
still has feelings for me.
Do you still have feelings for him?
I'm not sure.
But until I am, I
think that we should
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Good morning!
- Morning!
- How'd you sleep?
Great! Thank you so much
for letting me stay overnight.
Of course!
It's best not to drive
these country roads at night.
We can take you back to LA
as soon as Brenda and
Poppy get back with the van.
Great.
Um, any idea when Jenna might be back?
I'd love to see her before I go.
Sorry she wasn't here last night.
Uh, but Adam's bringing
her back this morning.
Oh. Great.
Hey, um, also, my phone is dead.
Either of you have a charger?
Oh, we don't have cell phones
or computers on the farm.
Sorry.
Oh, no, don't be.
I shouldn't be so addicted
to this thing anyway.
Oh, here they are now.
Is everything okay with her?
Oh, sure. She'll be at dinner.
If you'd like to stay later.
Sure. Yeah.
I'm I'm in no rush to get back to LA.
There's not much for me there.
You're welcome here as long as you like.
Look, I told you,
it's up to you.
It's not just me.
Can you live with this?
You shouldn't have to
give up your passion
for a baby that you don't even want!
That That you didn't plan for.
What if you end up
resenting her one day?
I would never resent my child.
If you fight me on this,
and you raise this baby
alone without a mother,
what does that make me?
It makes me the woman
who abandoned her child,
and I could not live with myself.
So please don't put me in that position.
Please let her have two loving parents
who are ready and willing
to give her everything that we can't.
Jazmin and Spencer are
willing to co-parent with me.
So our baby will have the love
and support of three parents.
And she'll have a mother.
So you won't have to feel
like you abandoned her.
Spencer and I, we know
we wanna be parents.
And we're ready.
We also know that adoption could be
a long and rough journey for us.
Isabella, I would be
so grateful
if you gave me the
opportunity to become a mother.
So
what do you think?
Is Is that a yes?
Yeah.
Yes. Yes.
I would be very happy
for you and Spencer to adopt our baby.
Gimme a hug.
So now that your boss
is giving you the money
for your women's center,
you're changing your tune?
Well, this is not an easy call.
I mean But the center will house
more than 20 women and their families.
So they get housed, and we get moved.
If I don't agree to
build the center here,
then a developer will more
than likely use this land
to build more luxury condos
that will just sit empty.
They're gonna force us to move anyway.
I'd rather see them use
the land for something good
- that'll help the community.
- Exactly.
How long until we have to move?
You have time. I'd guess
weeks, m maybe months.
These things take a
while to break ground on.
And in the meantime,
Grace's apartment is
still coming through,
and I will work as hard as I can
to find homes for each
and every one of you.
I promise.
I have no idea why she suddenly
showed up without calling.
Maybe the boyfriend dumped her.
So what's the plan now?
She wants to move back in.
Just until we legally separate.
And my lawyer says there's
not much I can do to stop her.
But nothing has to change.
What we have going, you and me.
There can't be a you and me, Asher.
But the marriage is over.
Nothing's really over while
you're still living with someone.
Trust me, I know a
little bit about this.
I won't abandon Elliot.
Okay? I will keep working
with him at the library.
He doesn't need any more
confusion in his life.
Neither do I.
- Thanks for the coffee.
- Well, you said I owed you.
- Finally.
- Mm-hmm.
So how're you feeling?
Feeling like,
I wish getting the women's center
could be a clean victory, you know?
I feel like everything good or bad
has its unintended
consequences these days.
But you've only been on
this job for a few months,
and look at what you've
already accomplished.
No one said it was gonna
be easy, going inside.
- In politics.
- Oh.
- From activism.
- Right. Right.
I just don't ever wanna
forget where I came from.
- You know?
- I hear that.
Well, I know you probably don't feel
like you deserve to celebrate,
but, um, I was hoping
Can I take you out to dinner sometime?
Thank you for the invitation.
You're welcome.
But if I'm reading you right
and I'm honest with myself,
I'm still in love with
someone I can't get over.
And
I don't think I want to.
Hello.
I'm Evan Speck. I work with Mariana.
Yeah, I know who you are.
Have you seen her today?
Kind of, uh, assumed she was with you.
Well, she didn't show up to work,
and she's not answering her phone.
Her co-workers are worried.
I thought she might be with you.
Uh, I haven't seen or heard from her
since the day before yesterday.
So
she's missing?
Or maybe
Shit!
Shit, what?
How am I supposed to
get on the lot as you?
These people can't tell the difference
between Asian women.
Remember, they always
think we're sisters.
Okay, but what about
when the director sees me?
She's not gonna be there.
The audition is just
for the casting director,
and she doesn't know what I look like.
And what if the casting director
brings me back to meet Georgia?
We'll cross that bridge
when we get to it.
I don't know about this.
Have a nice day, Miss Liu.
Follow the highlighted line on the map.
Thank you.
And you should be ashamed of yourself.
What're you doing back here?
You were right.
I am lucky.
I mean, why me and not you?
I'm I'm sorry.
I I shouldn't have said that.
It It's just so hard out here.
I know. And I am never gonna
forget what that's like.
And although the world
doesn't treat us like it,
we are all worthy.
We all deserve to have
roofs over our heads.
You deserve a home.
I just want to do whatever
I can to help you get that.
For you and for your kids.
What the hell?
Uh, Malika said we had time.
The mayor ordered the sweep.
I can't go over his head.
Why not? It's your district!
The mayor needs the area cleaned up
to attract new developers.
I'm so sorry, but we knew
that this was inevitable.
No, not today! They had no time to pack!
They're gonna lose everything they own.
Every small piece of
home that they have.
It'll all just get tossed
away in a garbage truck.
It's not right.
And if you won't do anything, then
I will.
Uh, wait, hold on. Where are you going?
- To join the protest.
- No, you can't do that.
You represent me.
Lucia, you approached me about this job.
You said that you needed
someone like me on your staff,
an activist with passion
who could just push
back on politics as usual
and make a difference.
Did you mean any of that?
We will make a difference.
- With this women's center
- It's not enough!
I'm going.
And if you need to fire
me for political cover,
then so be it.
- You need some help?
- Sure.
You're new here.
- I'm Mariana.
- Jenna.
I'm a friend of Joaquin's.
Silas isn't who he says he is.
His real name is Gary Brecker.
He doesn't have a degree in psychology
or a license to practice therapy.
He's conned multiple women
out of their life savings
and gone to prison.
And did you know that he took out
a restraining order against Joaquin
to try to keep him away from you?
Excuse me.
Ladies.
If I can have a moment with Jenna.
- Can you come
with me? - Mm-hmm.
Hey.
What's What's going on? Are you okay?
My back is kinda killing me.
I just I can't get comfortable.
I think I might be in labor.
Sumi Liu?
Yeah. Sumi Liu.
- This is Sumi Liu.
- Thanks.
I didn't get the memo about the heels.
Or the eye shadow.
So many of you in here.
I know I'm not Sumi.
I'm the runner.
Uh, but please give me a chance.
Normally, I would never
do anything like this.
I have a hard time selling myself.
But I'm perfect for
the role of Kristi Chen.
Yeah, I was a total nerd in high school.
A nobody. I'm still a nerd.
I went to prom with my brother.
Yeah. We didn't kiss.
And I've always dreamed
of going to my high school reunion,
showing all those people
that I'm a somebody.
Of course, I don't think
I'd have sex with everyone
who was mean to me in high school.
I can't even have an
orgasm with another person.
And I still see my mother
when I look at my own vagina.
So not really sure how this is gonna
make me feel better
about myself, or why.
Honestly, this is supposed
to make Kristi Chen
feel better about herself.
I mean, I get that it's funny,
but the joke's kind of on her.
This isn't even empowering
to women in general.
It's kind of offensive.
Definitely not something
I want to perpetuate.
Huh.
Maybe I really don't
want this part after all.
Wow!
But, hey!
You know, I'm really proud
of myself for doing this.
Well, is this rolling? Is
it possible to get a copy?
Thank you for your time.
And good luck with the movie.
Has your water broken?
No.
- Any bleeding?
- Uh, no.
- Can you feel the baby moving?
- Yes.
It sounds like you're
most likely in early labor.
Okay. Should we come in?
I think you'll be more
comfortable at home
while things progress.
Just do whatever makes you feel better
and takes your mind off the pain.
- And Gael?
- Yeah. Yeah. I'm here.
I want you to time the contractions.
Yeah. Yeah, I can do that.
Um, but how do we know
when we should come in?
You're gonna go off the 4-1-1 rule.
When the contractions
are four minutes apart,
last for one minute,
and happen over the course of one hour.
That's when it's time to come in, okay?
- Okay, 4-1-1.
- Yeah.
Thanks, Doc, um, we'll keep you updated.
I'm scared.
Hey.
It's okay.
I'll here with you the whole way.
Even after everything
I've put you through?
Here, how does this feel?
Oh, so much better.
Uh
I, um, I I think I'm
gonna have a contraction.
Okay.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe, Isabella. Good.
Well, keep breathing. Keep breathing.
How did it go?
You really think she'd go to
this farm without telling anyone?
I think she might. Yeah.
How could you let her do this?
I didn't let her do anything.
You know Mariana. She
doesn't ask permission.
Which is why you never should've
gotten her involved in
this in the first place.
Why did you assume Mariana was with me?
Because she said she might
still have feelings for you.
- I thought you two
- We aren't.
We will not allow you
to move this community of
unhoused people with no warning
so that the mayor can
butter up big developers.
And we won't support
the sweeping of people
into temporary, substandard shelters!
These people need permanent
housing and services.
Not sweeps.
Services, not sweeps.
Services, not sweeps.
I saw your post about the protest,
and I came down to support you.
Thank you.
I'm Councilwoman Lucia Morales.
This is my district,
and I did not authorize this sweep.
I'm asking the LAPD and the
Department of Sanitation to leave now!
Thank you.
Yeah!
Thank you.
Of course.
Services, not sweeps!
How are things with your boss?
There are no more "things" with my boss.
The wife came back.
Which, you know, is fine.
Really.
I think I've just been running away
since I left New York and the theater.
I ran into teaching,
and then I almost ran into
this other woman's life.
It was a fun fantasy for a while,
but the whole stay-at-home,
suburban mom thing
Is so not you.
So not me. Ugh.
So how are things with you and Ryan?
She asked me to move in with her.
Oh.
What did you say?
- Lady in labor, coming through!
- Oh, my God!
Yeah, we're in 4-1-1.
- What? Whaaat?
- Uh, it's a labor term.
- Do you guys need a ride to the hospital?
- In the Toast Truck?
No, no, no. We're
good. We called a Coche.
- Ahh Gael!
- Hey, hey, hey, breathe. Breathe.
- Breathe. You're good.
- No, I'm not.
I think the baby is
coming, like, right now!
But the doctor said
I don't care what the doctor said!
I can feel the baby.
I don't think we're gonna
make it to the hospital.
Okay. Um
I wanna leave.
I actually ran away.
Or I tried to.
But, uh, Adam picked me up
and brought me back here.
So, Silas won't let you leave?
Not since Joaquin showed up.
Silas is constantly watching me.
And he's been, uh, abusive.
He locks me in at night.
In the C house, where
most of the girls sleep.
It's the third door on the right
when you walk in the front door.
The only one with a deadbolt.
We go to bed early, by 9:00.
If you can sneak in after
everyone's asleep and let me out,
then we can maybe make it to the highway
and try to catch a ride from there.
- You're doing great.
- How would you know?
Okay, I'm gonna attribute
that to labor pains.
Uh, I think her water just broke.
Okay. Gael, do you see the baby's head?
A tiny bit.
All right, I called an
ambulance. They're on their way.
Isabella, can you try to stop pushing
until the paramedics arrive?
I can't help it. I can't!
That's fine.
Gael, you're gonna have
to deliver the baby.
I'll be with you the
whole time, all right?
All right.
Hey. Hey.
I got this.
okay.
Did the baby come yet?
- No.
- Oh, thank God!
Thought you'd want someone
to capture the moment for posterity.
Isabella, I want you to hold your breath
and push for a count of five.
Okay. One. Two. Three.
- Four. Five.
- Five!
Sorry. This is so exciting.
What do you see, Gael?
Uh, the whole top of the head now.
Um, can you move out of the
way, so I can get a better shot?
- Kelly, please!
- I'm sorry.
Gael, I need you to be ready
to gently guide the baby out.
Can someone hold Isabella's
legs to help her push?
Don't look at me. I got a job.
- Okay, we can do it.
- Absolutely.
We're gonna stay above the
equator, but we got you.
Isabella, you're almost there,
another couple of pushes.
I have to push now!
Take a deep breath.
One. Two. Three.
Four. Five.
Oh, my God! The head is out!
Good. Good.
Gael, don't pull, just let
Isabella's body do the work.
Just support and guide
as the baby comes out,
keeping your hands
there, ready to catch.
Okay. Wait, catch?
Oh, my God! She's out!
Isabella, you did it!
You did it.
Hey. It's okay. I'm here.
Daddy's here.
Oh.
Let's get your first
words to baby on camera.
What do you wanna say?
Welcome to the world, beautiful one.
I don't understand why we
can't just drive up to the farm,
ask if Mariana is there.
Because Silas took out a
restraining order against me
to keep me away from my sister.
- Okay, so why can't I
- And they have guns.
- This is insanity!
- Look, look.
If Mariana is here, that's why she came,
to warn Jenna because I couldn't.
Look, man, I'm sorry.
Look, I I will get her
back safely, all right?
- I'm coming with you.
- What? No, no, no. No.
I know the layout of the place, okay?
One of us is a lot less
likely to get spotted than two.
If they have guns, we
should call the police.
And say what?
They're not gonna come out here.
Okay, I I need you
to stay with the car
and just be ready to get away.
- Okay.
- All right.
I did not wake up this morning
thinking I would be
helping deliver a baby.
Same.
How spectacular was that?
Yeah. Pretty spectacular.
And painful, so I won't be
signing up any time soon.
Do you
want kids?
I've never really asked you that.
It depends on who I'd
be having them with.
Does Ryan want kids?
Yeah.
And are you moving in with her?
- Come on, what do you say?
- Hmm.
- I, um
- Okay.
Too soon?
I
Forget I asked.
It's not that.
Look.
I know I may well be
too old to live here,
but I'm not ready to leave.
The Coterie is a family.
And I know that at some point
we're all gonna have to move on,
but for me, that day hasn't come.
And, frankly, I don't know
why growing up has to mean
getting your own place
and being more alone.
You wouldn't be alone.
You'd be with me.
I
Dennis, are you in love with me?
I don't know what that means.
Love verses in love
Are you in love with Davia?
You're blushing.
That's what "in love" means.
It's visceral.
Undeniable.
Irrepressible.
And I don't wanna be
anyone's consolation prize.
You are not a consolation prize.
You are brilliant and beautiful
Yes, I am.
And you're a wonderful man.
You're just
not my man.
No, I'm not moving in with Ryan.
In fact, we're not
seeing each other anymore.
So
Are you all right?
Hey. I'm I'm okay with it. Honestly.
You know, I just thought
that maybe she was
gonna be the one for you.
I didn't realize you were so
invested in our relationship.
I'm not crying because I'm sad,
I'm crying because I'm relieved.
What? Why are you relieved?
Because I love you, you idiot!
And I only chose Matt
because I was scared you
were gonna leave again.
And I told you to call Ryan
because I was testing you.
And that was really, really stupid.
But I can't keep this in anymore.
I can't keep running.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Because I love you too.
The visceral, undeniable,
irrepressible
"in love" kind of love.
It's okay.
The thing about being wanted,
I I did want you.
It wasn't just need.
I can't deny that I love you.
So if you honestly,
really feel ready, then
so do I.
Look how cute!
- She's so tiny.
- And she's so beautiful.
You did good, girl. Mm-hmm.
We have a Coterie baby!
Literally born in The Coterie.
So I just talked to Dr. Bailian.
She said since the paramedics
checked you and the baby out,
we can stay home
and just take her to the
pediatrician tomorrow.
That's such a relief.
I can't imagine having
to go anywhere right now.
Hmm. We should go.
- Give you some space.
- Right.
- Congratulations.
- Bye, baby.
- Bye, baby.
- Good night.
- See you, guys.
- Bye, guys.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Ohh, we're here for you.
Also, I spoke with Jazmin and Spencer,
and they're on their way to meet her.
Gael, I
I think I changed my mind.
I want to keep her.
Hi, my love.
Hey!
Joaquin!
- Run!
- Okay, come on.
Stop!
I said stop!
No! No!
