Good Trouble (2019) s05e20 Episode Script
What Now?
1
Knock, knock. Did someone order a host?
I can't work with that guy.
Maybe we can convince
them to cast someone else.
- Like who?
- Me.
What's wrong?
Yuri, the artist I used to work for,
he's showing a new
collection of paintings
in the style I created for him.
And since I didn't
actually paint them for him,
he's gonna get away with
not paying me a commission.
The producers have decided
to have Serena do the staged reading.
No, this is New York all over again.
- Davia, that is
- No, I never should have trusted you again.
I think you know I still love you.
And maybe you're making excuses
for why we can't be together.
- Can I think about it?
- Yeah. Sure.
If you agree to stop crashing
my community meetings,
I'll push your women's center through.
I like you.
I understand why Callie
told you not to tell anyone.
But I am not just anyone.
I just don't know if I can do this.
You told Riley that you knew I
was unhoused before I told her.
LADLE: I have feelings for you.
JOAQUIN: I can't be casual with you.
Not as long as you have these
unresolved feelings for Evan, I can't.
I can't do this again.
MARIANA: Evan can't remember
the last two years of his life.
CALLIE: But they did say that
he might get his memory back.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
JENNA: What was this?
SILAS: It's an old yurt for storage.
Got damaged in a storm,
so we took it down.
We have a warrant to
search the property.
(PHONE RINGING)
Silas has Jenna's phone.
Jenna!
I can't believe she
chose to go back there.
I shouldn't have let her leave here.
♪♪
(FIRE CRACKLING)
MARIANA: Please.
(GASPING)
(STEAM HISSING)
(MARIANA GROANING)
Please Please just let me out.
You can't leave
until we've cleansed your mind
and your spirit of your demons, Mariana.
Just let me out.
(GASPING)
JOAQUIN: Hey, you okay?
Yeah, just a bad dream.
Do you, do you want to talk about it?
Not really.
So I know that emotions
were kind of high last night.
So, you know, if this is
just something that happened
and you're still figuring things out,
that's
I get it.
No.
I'm ready to move on.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
God, I'm just so worried about Jenna.
I can't believe she went back to Silas.
I just I don't know what to do.
There may not be anything you can do.

(HAMMER CLANGING)
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Hey.
(WATER POURING)
- Where's Silas?
- Out in the fields.
He's trying to protect
us from those looking
to destroy our harmony here.
Especially with all
this Madison nonsense.
She disconnected from
the source and left.
Just like Silas told us.
(DISHES CLATTER)
I was in the sweat lodge with Madison
during the purification ceremony.
Sweat lodge?
Yeah.
The yurt used to be over there.
It was so hot inside.
Madison was having a really hard time.
We were all struggling, but Silas
kept bringing hot stones in
and pouring water over them.
MADISON: Please Please,
no. I wanna get out of here.
HOLLY: Madison was begging
Silas to let her out.
He said it was her demons rising in her.
And the more she resisted,
the more they would make her sick.
He finally let the rest of us leave,
but he made her stay. (SNIFFLES)
I was, I was afraid for her.
And then the next day,
Silas told us that she left the farm.
Did you believe him?
Of course.
Silas is our salvation.
Yes, he is.
I learned that when I left
and I was plunged into darkness.
We have to protect his light
from those who want to destroy him.
Like your brother?
Especially my brother.
♪♪
YURI: Oh, there he is!
The masked muralist himself
GEM.
You know, I can't say
I particularly enjoyed
your latest piece of street
art, if you can call it that.
(CHUCKLES)
I mean, what is it, computer generated?
So you've gone from painting to pasting
in my absence.
I'm disappointed. I thought
you wanted to be a real artist.
At least it's my work
and not someone else's
I'm trying to pass off as my own.
Oh, I painted every
piece of my new show.
(LAUGHS) Yeah,
based on a new style I created.
And some of those are
just knockoffs of pieces
I already painted for you.
Yuri, you owe me commission
on every piece you sell.
I owe you nothing!
But I happen to believe in you.
So I'm gonna
open the door to an opportunity
that is gonna guarantee you
the career you want as a fine artist.
The gallery shows,
the residencies, the
the credit that you so
desperately think you deserve.
Not to mention the big fat checks.
Oh, yeah? And how are
you going to do that?
Because I've arranged a meeting
for you with Frank Barda.
Yeah.
The famous modern artist Frank Barda.
He's looking for a new apprentice.
Speechless?
Thought that might happen.
Oh, he's expecting you
at 8:00 p.m. tonight.
Don't be late.
Oh!
And I consider whatever debt
you think I might owe you
paid.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Ethan just called me.
- And?
- Well, I wasn't going to answer
but then he kept calling and texting.
- And?
- Serena's sick,
and they need me to do
the staged reading today.
- And?
- And screw him.
Why should I help him
after what he did to me?
Because you worked
really hard on that show.
And you wouldn't be doing it for him,
you'd be doing it for yourself.
- (SCOFFS)
- Because you are the best Darla,
and you know it.
So the best way to screw
him and the producers
is to go on stage and prove it.
♪♪
MALIKA: Hey.
Hey!
- Um
- Yeah.
Claudia? Thank you.
I need you to make a decision.
I've gotta know where we stand
and if I need to move on.
And before you answer that,
You have to know something.
My work isn't going away.
I wanna be with you.
But I have plans for my career
and
and about to make a
pretty bold move, so.
You'd have to be onboard.
Onboard with what, exactly?
♪♪
JENNA: Silas.
Uh, I-I just want you to know that
if anything did happen
to Madison on the farm
I-I know it wasn't your fault.
It would have been an accident.
Not that I'm questioning you at all.
But if you had to
put her to rest,
I am begging you
move her off of the property,
somewhere where no
one will ever find her.
And I can help you
because
because I know my brother,
and he will not stop coming.
Trying to extinguish your light.
And the world needs you.
We need you.
So please, don't take any chances.

I'm your host, Alice

And now we're behind the scenes

Much like ferrets,
our hardworking writers
need 8 to 10 meals a day,
which is why we have our
handy craft services truck.
What?
I'll have a tuna cup, please.
This isn't your show.
Get out of here before I call security.
We gotta get out of here. Run!

Hope one of us gets it. (CHUCKLES)
You with CAA?
Don't forget, after

Frank Barda is the resident
artist at the LA Arts Museum,
and he's known for launching
the careers of his apprentices.
I mean, the exposure
I get to all the people
who matter in the art world is huge.
The people who matter?
Yeah, so there's a small
group of collectors, patrons,
critics who determine
what's important art.
And not the public?
Well, no, the public
doesn't collect fine art.
(SIGHS)
You trust Yuri?
(LAUGHS) No, I never trust Yuri.
But I do trust he knows that he owes me.
And he's probably
afraid that I'll out him
if, you know, I don't have
my own reputation to lose.
What about your street art?
Look, I appreciate
that you appreciate it,
but like I've told you,
it's not considered real art.
Yeah. By this cabal
of people who matter.
I don't know. Uh, kowtowing

Guys, I remember our first
Coterie Family Dinner.
We're so happy you're
here for the last one.
I know, me too. I would not miss it.
Well while we're all together.
I want to share the new
artwork for the show!
(CHEERING)
Love it!
She's a star!
A star!
What, what happened to the sitcom?
Oh, I had to turn it down.
Yeah, I didn't want to leave the guys.
And they ended up
cancelling the sitcom anyway.
Yeah, they just pulled the plug.
It's a brutal business.
Oh, look, here's your girl.
Hey, everyone!
Oh, is that Ladle?
- Ladle!
- Hey.
Oh, my money was on the dancer
- not the girl named after a soup spoon.
- Shh.
Wait, Davia, when do
you leave for New York?
- Friday.
- Wow.
Jamie and I will definitely
come up from DC to see the show.
Oh, I would love that. Thank you.
Wait, Malika, how is the campaign going?
It's going.

Hey, it's time for these old white men
to step aside so we can let
some fresh young blood into politics.
- Preach!
- ALICE: Preach, brother!
Absolutely. But, sometimes
you have to choose
between the better of two old men
especially when one
wants to be a dictator.
- Yes!
- Absolutely.
Vote, vote, vote, vote!
Yes, save our democracy
and our social rights!
But where are the young
inspirational leaders of tomorrow?
- We're looking at one.
- Hey!
That's right!
Here, here! To councilwoman
soon-to-be-elect, Malika Williams!
Sounds really good to me!
Okay, um, since we're
singing each other's praises, Gael?
Would you care to share?
Well, I just won
a big contract to paint
a mural in downtown.
- Oh!
- DAVIA: Legally?
- Yeah!
- (ALL LAUGHING)
- That's amazing!
- Thank you, thank you.
And, um, I gave up the chance
toapprentice for this really big artist
so I can focus on my street art
and it's been paying off.
- Good for you, Gael!
- We've always believed in you.
- ALICE: We're so proud.
