39 Weeks (2021) - full transcript

What could have been a great film about motherhood... has been rebranded and edited into trashy woke garbage.So much they couldn't bare to have any name that does anything but suggest single parents are as capable as a two parent household, which is literally impossible as one person can not be in two places at the same time.If major production studios are going to destroy creator's art, then we need film production as an industry to return to independently funded studios and not corporate monopolization like every other industry does right before failing completely and utterly. Film has too much leverage on the economy to pull this crap, so lets make some changes and go back to indy so the 'big boys' will have no choice but to go with the flow or get swept away by a tidal wave.

I don't understand
what's happening.

I-I'm bleeding and I'm just...

What's gonna happen next?

I mean, I was feeling fine,

and then I went
to the bathroom and I...

Oh, God.

That sounds like
you're having a miscarriage.

Is that it?

Is this pregnancy
just like done?

This is the end? I don't...

Well, what...
What happens now?



Babe, babe. Listen,
I need you to calm down, okay?

I'm looking it up right now.

Okay. Take a deep breath.

You are going to have
the most beautiful baby

at the right time.

You need to just let yourself
feel all the feelings.

And when you're
ready emotionally,

physically, mentally,

you'll try again.

First of all,

I'm gonna need you
to stop looking things up
on the internet.

I am your doctor.

If you have any questions,
you can come to me.

I know,
but I read a couple of articles



so I know what
the charts look like.
And I just...

Look, I'm gonna
stop you right there.

We've already frozen your eggs.

You are young.

You still have time
to find a partner.

I don't want a partner.

So, if you're good
to take my money,
I'm good to go.

You can put your legs down.
Everything looks great.

You still have time.

You sure you wanna
do this alone?

I've done everything alone.
People are disappointing.

If you want it done right,
you do it by yourself.

It's a kid, not a coffee order.

Ever since I was 12,

I told my parents that
if I hadn't found the one

by the time I was 30,
I would just do it by myself.

I waited four extra years.

I'm smart, I'm reliable,
I'm productive.

And I want a baby.
And I'm not gonna wait,

for what? Some idiot man
to break my heart

and ruin my child?

I'm sorry.

Look, I want a kid
more than anything,

but I want it on my own terms.

Well, then, the next thing to do
is to find a donor.

I actually already went
through the database

and I found someone. 4-7-3-1.

He's perfect.
He meets my criteria

and he has a great essay.

Well. It sounds like
you've got it all figured out.

If you're sure,
then just make an appointment
with the reception.

-Unless you change your...
-I won't.

Well, we're really excited
that the deal went through.

I promise he's not a diva.

Hello?

Okay. Bye.

Do you remember that indie
they were producing
that you read for?

You booked it!

Yeah, I know.

Shoots next week.

Okay, great.
Well, congrats. Bye.

Happy birthday!

Monica Reyes
sent these over for you.

I also tried making
the doctor's appointment,

but they said that
you already called
and did it yourself.

You know I can do my job
if you let me.

Yeah. No, I know.

I just, uh,
had a little extra time,

so I figured that I would just
take it off your plate.

I am literally here to
take things off of your plate.

How did it go?

And before you say anything,
can I say something?

Don't do it. Just don't do it.

You're a fucking beast!

And you're only growing.

Why do you need to do this now?

Thirty-four is young!

And, honestly,

why would anyone want to bring
more people into the world?

We're overpopulated,
were selfish,

climate change is
at its tipping point.

You really wanna bring
a child into the world?

I know I don't.

Okay. First of all,
you're a guy.

So, you don't have, like,
a biological need to procreate.

And second of all,

this is my birthday present
to myself.

So this is what I'm doing.

You're gonna ruin your life.

Don't you have some phone calls
to make or something?

You already made them.

Go get lunch.

I don't want Thai.

Okay, guys. She's here.

Hide, hide!

Everybody hide!

Hey, Eva bear.

I love you to the moon and back

and I'm so excited for
what this year is gonna bring.

Hey,
she's here. Hide.

Hey, girl.

Hi!

Are you surprised?

-I said no surprises.
-I know.

Happy birthday, Eva.

Happy birthday, Eva.

Happy birthday, Eva.

♪ My eyes get wide♪

♪ My temperature is rising... ♪

-So, I made this cupcake
extra special for you.
-Thank you!

And I got you this.

Thanks.

"Enjoy the journey."

It's an intention bracelet.

Just wanna get to
the destination already.

It's not about the destination.

It's just one big journey.

Okay.

High chats with Skye Sommers.

Alright. I'm only
a little high right now.

-Do you remember
deep shit Eva Garcia?
-Mmm-hmm.

-It was really good.
-It was hilarious.

And I would take it easy
on the cupcake

because it's like 30 milligrams
of THC in it.

What? Why?

I don't know.
I just thought you could use it.

It's like your last week
of freedom.

Holy shit.
I can't feel my face.

Okay. It's not cocaine.

You got
your drugs confused.

No.
I'm all tingly inside.

Babe, that's
physically impossible.

Why are we laughing?

Oh, my God!

I can't remember.

Wow! You know what's crazy?

-Mmm? Oh.
-Family.

Because you're really
starting your own family.

But you have
a whole entire, like,

other family.

- Dysfunctional.
- Yeah.

I don't even have a family.

But I have you
and you're like family.

Are you really ready
to have a baby?

-Yeah.
-Good.

Because I'm gonna be there
every step of the way.

I wanna help raise this child.

I don't... I don't know.

That's a lot of responsibility.

I don't... I don't think
I need all of that.

I think I'm just gonna...

-figure it out on my own.
-No. No.

You need help.

You always wanna do
everything on your own.

But raising a child
takes a fucking village.

Don't you fucking follow me!

This set is not
what I signed up for.

Okay, stop. Start again.
What happened?

You look like shit.

I looked like 5:00 a.m.,
dickhead. What happened?

Yesterday, I worked
a 15-hour day.

You know what that means?

You're putting
my life in danger.

Other guy in the trailer,
he asked me for coffee.

He fucking
asked me for coffee!

I'm gonna call them,
and I'm gonna call you back.
You're gonna pick up.

I'm number one
on the call sheet!

Everything okay?

Shit!

Hi, Mauricio.
How's production going?

Shit, this is just...

You wanna get dinner
at some point this week?

Look, I'm not trying
to be a dick here,
but we're not dating.

Just because we fuck a lot,
doesn't mean that
we're doing anything else.

Can you calm down?

Was it something that I said?

You said you were gonna treat
my client with some respect,

and if you don't,
he's fucking walking.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

Eva, listen,
we love Mauricio, you know
that we love him...

Look,
it's not you, it's me.

Or, you know, whatever.

Eva, are you still there?

Without my client, you've got
no funding, no audience,

no God damn movie.

Do you understand?

So you have
to fucking fix this. Okay?

Alright. Bye.

-See you another time.
-See you.

-Bye.
-Hey.

Hey.

I need a fucking coffee.

Yeah. Me too.

I had a really long night.

So, who was she?

I met her on an app.

Oh, God! I can never do an app.

I'll feel like I need, like,

an STD test before
sleeping with anyone.

Yeah, because
you're crazy and paranoid.

-True.
-Did you STD test Felipe?

No, but that's different.
I met him through a friend.

-Right?
-No.

-Really?
-Not at all.

Fuck.

So, do you want me
to go with you today?

Um, you know, they just
put a turkey baster up there.

Can I get a chai tea latte
with almond milk

and a little bit of cinnamon?

And whatever she's getting.

I'll have an Americano
with an extra shot.

I just feel like you're gonna
be in the waiting room
for ten minutes.

And that's it. So...

I'm fine. I promise.

Oh, my gosh!

You're gonna be a mommy!

You see that?

That is the sperm being
injected into your uterus.

Now, I want you
to stay positive.

But the success rate
for a woman your age
is around 15%.

I don't want you
to be disappointed
if we have to do it again.

Okay.

I know it's gonna break out
in the American market.

That movie is gonna be
a festival, darling, trust me.

Okay, bye.

- Skye.
- Yeah.

Get in here.

What's up?

Look at this.

My tits look huge!
I look like Pamela Anderson.

I mean, yeah.
They're perky as fuck.

No, but...

am I pregnant or
am I getting my period?

♪ Okay I got a little secret
That I'm only telling you ♪

♪ I'm about to fill you in
On all the doings that I do ♪

♪ If you don't already know me
Then you're gonna know me soon ♪

Like I said,

the doctor should be
calling you back shortly.

Okay. I'm not trying
to be a dick here,

but seriously,
I'm really anxious,

I'm very overwhelmed,
and I need to know the answer.

So, if you can't
fucking help me,

can you pass me to someone
who can fucking help me?

Get the fuck out of here!

What?

What are the test results?

Please hold.

Hormones.

Hormones.

- Eva Garcia?
- Yes.

Hi, this is Dr. Levy.

We just got your results.

Your HCG levels
came out at 2400,

which is positive.

This means you are,
in fact, pregnant.

Congratulations!

Thank you.

- Hey, it's your assistant.
- Mmm?

He's freaking out.
He says it's urgent.

He's been trying
to hit your phone but
you haven't been answering.

Your meeting starts
in ten minutes.

The Lorena meeting, remember?

-Oh, shit! Fuck!
-Get up!

She can't even show up
for the intro on time?

What does that say
about her work ethic?

I know, I know.

This has never happened
before in my life.

-Hi. Eva.
-Hi. Lorena.

-Brian.
-A little about me,

I am...
I'm half Mexican.

So, anyway...

I'm always, like,
switching back and forth,

and I feel like

I've really grown up
in both worlds.

And I think in today's age,

being Latin
and being in the US,

it's like there's
a whole new world of talent...

...and I wanna be the person
who represents them.

My friend Arnulfo said that
you take very good care of him.

Brian has been pushing for
a bigger management company,

but I don't know.

- I have this feeling, you know...
- What can I get you?

Uh, yeah, I'm gonna
have an Americano
with an extra shot,

and whatever they're having.

I want a matcha
with coconut milk, please.

Iced coffee with
oat milk, thank you.

Actually, no, I'm sorry. Um...

I can't do... Okay.

Uh, cappuccino.

Can you check
how many milligrams of caffeine?

You know what?
Actually, if you're already
gonna find out,

can you also look up
green tea and a latte?

How many milligrams
of caffeine per serving?

And then get back to me,
and I'll decide.

I'll, uh...
I'll try to figure that out.

I'll be back.

- Okay...
- Oh! Actually,
you know what?

Can you come back? Sorry.
You know, just scratch that

and, um, let's just do
a decaf cappuccino.

Okay, so I was saying...

Mmm-hmm.

Si.

I'm great. It's just...
It's really hot in here, right?

You guys really hot?

No, it's pretty chilly in here.

I'm a little off my game.

Are you sick?

- She has a shoot next week.
- I feel great.

I feel great.

So, we were talking
about the, uh...

Why L-Latinos are really...

Are you going to throw up?

No. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Yeah, we should go.

I-It was great meeting you.

Um... we'll stay in touch.

- Yeah.
- No, I'm...

I feel great.

If you think
I'm gonna miss any of this,

you're out of your mind.

Just tell the camera
where we're going.

I'm going to
an ultrasound where

hopefully, we'll hear
the heartbeat of my baby.

She means our baby.

And you're going to want
someone there to film it.

-Put the phone down.
-What?

Come on. I'm gonna
document everything,
so just get used to it.

No, really, I think you should
put the phone down.

-Put it down.
-Okay.

Alright. Are you ready?

I think I should go
on my own this time.

What if it's like last time?

Look, don't worry.

This is nothing like last time.

This time is
completely different.

How do you know for sure?

I just know.

I promise.

Now, let's go see our baby.

-My baby. My uterus, my baby.
-Our baby. I'm the baby momma.

-How many times
do I have to tell you?
-My baby inside of my body.

My baby.

- Mmm-hmm.
- You okay?

Okay. Try not to move.

Sorry. I'm emotional.

Okay, if you
want me to record it,
try not to move for a moment.

Okay.

Yeah! Confirmed!

Confirmed!

Okay? You happy?

Okay.

I'm really happy.

So,
everything is looking great.

Um, however, we did find
a small amount of fluid

on the right side
of your uterus.

-Fluid?
-It's just blood.
Should be fine.

Should we be concerned?

Most of the time,
it just gets re-absorbed
into the body.

Um, it can cause some spotting

and on very rare occasions,
a miscarriage.

A miscarriage?

Uh, I'm sorry. I'm gonna need
an exact percentage

of what are the chances
that something can go wrong.

Because, as you know,

I've had a miscarriage before,

so I just...
I can't take any chances.

I-I need to be really informed

and prepare for
whatever's happening next.

'Cause I don't want
any surprises this time around.

You will never be
completely informed
and prepared again.

You're about to be a mom.

Just try not to worry.

Hope for the best.

So, how did you two meet?

- Oh, no. We're not...
- Yeah, no.

She's not my girlfriend.

We met in college.
We're roommates.

But we live together.

And then I'm having a baby,

she's helping me with it.

It's complicated.

- What?
- You said it!

-What?
-You said it.

You said I'm helping you
with the baby.

Well, I'm personally glad
she's got a friend to help her.

She's gonna need all the help
she can get with the baby.

I keep telling her that.

I don't understand why
everyone keeps saying that.

It's like I can have
a baby on my own.

I run my own business, okay?

I'm-I'm an independent woman.

I do everything on my own.

Why can't I have
a fucking baby on my own?

Skye, my dad's coming at 1:00

so please get out of here.

And hide your weed shit.

So, couldn't you
just freeze your eggs

and wait a little?

I already did that
two years ago.

I don't wanna wait any longer.

But you worked so hard
on your management company.

Why would you
just throw that away?

Mom, I'm gonna hire two more
managers in the next six months.

Okay? I got this figured out.

Oh, really? You've got
single-motherhood figured out.

Please enlighten me.

Okay. First of all,
I saw a study in Europe, okay,

that talked about SMC,
Single Mother of Choice,

and two-parent households.

And it turns out,
that the children

came out just the same in both.

So, you're quoting Google now?

Why do you want this so badly

and why now?

Because...

Do you remember Ryan?

I was pregnant.

-And... it didn't work out.
-What?

So, anyway, the point is I...

I can't keep my mind off
of it since then. I...

I really want a baby.

I knew there was
more to that breakup
than you were letting on.

Do you wanna talk about it?
Let's talk about it.

I just said I don't
wanna talk about it!

I'm sorry that happened,
Eva, but...

you know,
life is full of disappointments,

and having a child
is not gonna change that.

Okay, look. If you
don't wanna support me
in this journey, that's fine.

Okay? I don't need your support.

Actually, I don't need
anyone's help, okay?

Were you gonna
tell your dad about it

And what about abuelita?

Abuelita would never
understand this.

And Dad...

Dad was supposed
to be here 10 minutes ago.

I was... gonna tell him
in person if he shows up.

He's no good with this stuff.

What? What?

Keeping his word?
Yeah, I know.

And I still managed to...

make plans with him like...
Fucking idiot.

How come he gets
a special meal

and I get a FaceTime call while
you're peeing in front of me.

You get the "pee call."

I get the pee call.
Thank you so much.

-How many weeks are you?
-Fourteen.

You have to be extra careful
right now.

You have to wash your hands
all the time.

It's a weird virus...

It's in China
and I'm OCD as it is.

I'm fine.

I know.

That's stupid.
Okay. It's okay.

Okay.

Focus.

Papa?

Well, I mean, you're in Vegas.

It's only a five hour drive.

I could...

I don't know. Maybe,
I could drive over to you,

or you could come here if,
you know...

Let's just reschedule, okay?

Was there anything
you wanted to tell me?

No.

No, everything's fine.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

I don't know
why you still expect
anything from him.

You know what he's like.

- And by the way...
- Mmm-hmm.

Please don't hate me.

No! You said that we were
gonna stay in

and watch a movie together.

I know, but...

I know you remember Crys.

-The girl I've been dating.
-Mmm-hmm.

It's her best friend's birthday
and she invited me to the party.

You know, things are getting
serious between us,

so it's kind of a big deal.

I'm not going.

Oh, my God.
Please come with me.

Seriously.

We made a plan.

We said that tonight we were
going to stay together

and we're gonna
a watch movie,

and I was really
looking forward to it.

We don't always have to
stick to the plan.

You know you can be
spontaneous, right?

But I like sticking
to the plan.

I don't want to just
get dressed and go out

and meet people
I don't know.

It doesn't sound fun to me.

Eva, I really like this girl,

and I just want to know
how you feel about her.

So can you please get dressed
and come out with me?

Fine, I'll just go by myself.

This corona thing
is killing us.

No, just old people so far.

But seriously, you're pregnant.

You need to stay home
more than anyone.

Can someone get you supplies?

Hi!

-Hi, there. I miss you.
-I miss you.

Are you...
Let me see your belly.

I feel like I still don't
look like totally pregnant.

But then I look kind of like
I just ate too much
or something.

Oh, my gosh.
You have a little bump.

-Do you see it?
-Yes.

Yeah, a little bump, right?

It's so cute.

Thank you. I'm excited.

How's your trip?

Oh, my God.

Crystal's family is amazing.

I could absolutely live here.
I love it.

By the way, did you get
the envelope yet about
the gender reveal?

Because I cannot wait
to find out if it's a boy
or girl together.

I did.

I think it's a boy,
because I'm witchy like that.

Okay. All right.

I'll take your bet,
we'll see what happens.

Yeah, I put the envelope aside,
like you asked,

even though it's killing me.
Just so you know.

So, actually, one of the reasons
I'm calling

is because I think
you guys should
actually come home earlier.

I've been reading
the news a lot,

and I just feel like
this thing is getting
really out of control,

and I just don't know
what that means for you and...

Well, I think it'll be fine.

I mean, there's really
no cases of it here.

Everyone's just freaking out
because of the news.

You just gotta stay calm.

Just stay inside,
wash your hands,

stay six feet away from people,
and you'll be fine.

But they're saying that
it could get really bad.

And I'm definitely going to
go do a grocery shop right now.

I feel like we just need to have
some things in the house.

I don't know.

I think it can be more serious
than what you think.

Well, you do realize
that the news is made

to put fear in you, right?

So maybe you should take
a break from it for a while.

Okay, well...
But you should read it.

Are you going to read it?

Fine, we'll catch up
when I have time.

But right now, I am going to
enjoy a margarita.

So I have to go.

Okay, all right.
But I'll call you.

We'll talk soon, right?

-Yes, of course.
-All right.

I love you.
Take care of our baby.

I will. Love you.

One of the many unknowns
about COVID-19 is

"What are the risks
to pregnant women?"

Are they more vulnerable
to getting the virus?

If infected, are they
more likely to experience
severe symptoms?

And is there a threat
of transmission to the fetus?

It's Arnulfo.
Let me in.

I'm not seeing anyone.

I'm not anyone.
Buzz me up.

I'm coming down.

You should be
taking this seriously.

What are you doing here?

I am taking it seriously.

This is a huge opportunity
for us.

What are you
talking about?

All productions have shut down.

Exactly.

That's what I'm saying.

-Let me in.
-I'm not letting you in.

Eva, you of all people
should know

that I've been wanting
to direct this movie
for the past seven years.

Nobody's working.
Everyone's available right now.

This draft, it's gonna
blow your mind,
I promise.

Don't tell me you're
one of those people.

It's not a big deal
unless you're old

or you have asthma or
some weird immunity shit.

I'm pregnant.

Now you have to let me in
so I can give you a hug.

-Come on.
-No.

Who's the dad?

Wait. I didn't know
you had friends,

let alone a boyfriend...
A fiance?

Yeah, I got a sperm donor.

And I... I have friends.

I have... a friend.

I just, you know...

That is actually
very on brand.

You're reading it, yeah?

We just need to get
a few people involved

so we can get things rolling
and I can get the financing.

Drop the script.
Walk away.

And I'm gonna disinfect that

because you're not
following the rules.

All this thing you're doing,
I love it. It's hilarious.

Okay, I love you.

Read it.
Take care of the baby.

- Don't hang out with your grandma.
- Call me today.

I love you.

Shouldn't you be
at the airport already?

Not getting
on the plane right now.

So...

I mean, you're just not gonna
come home?

Well, my girlfriend owns
a place here.

and I figure it'd be easier
and safer and cheaper.

And I just want
to weather the storm in Florida.

What the fuck?

I know.
You were right.

Everything just started
escalating so quickly.

Do you still have
the envelope?

Yeah.

Do you want to
open it together?

Who knew we were gonna find out
the gender of my baby

during a fucking
zombie apocalypse.

What does it say?

It's a little boy.

Oh, my God!

I knew it.

Can we come in?

Oh, I prefer not,
actually. Sorry.

We both have masks on.

Oh, yeah.

I'm pregnant.
Okay. Sorry.

Oh.

- Okay then.
We'll just wait.
-Okay.

Hey, Eva, how are you
holding up?

Well, it's strange times,
for sure.

But, you know, I always figured
I'd do this on my own.

There's a few things
that are changing,
actually, by the day.

So I just wanted to call
and just give you

a bunch of updates,
all at the same time.

-Okay.
-Um...

Unnecessary ultrasound
appointments are just
being canceled.

You'll still have
your anatomy scan because
that one's very important.

But for the appointment,
you'll need to wear
a mask and gloves,

and you will be checked
outside, your temperature.

It goes without saying,
you have to go
to the appointment

completely on your own, okay?

-Well, I wasn't planning on
having anyone anyway.
-Great.

The other thing is...
delivery.

I've talked to the hospital,
and it seems they are requiring

women to deliver with
an N95 mask on.

You cannot have anyone
in the room with you.

But if you do
wish to get a doula,
which I highly recommend,

they can be on
FaceTime with you
during the delivery.

A doula?
Why would you recommend that?

Well, studies have shown
that it lowers your chances

of having a C-section
by 50%.

Having a support system
during the birthing process

is actually very helpful
to both mother and baby.

Okay, um...

Is there anything else that
I should be doing right now

to be better prepared for...

Um... taking a hypnobirthing
or a Lamaze class?

That would be really helpful.

And you probably
would be able to do that online,

which is a good idea
at this point.

Also, I'm not sure if you were
having a baby shower...

My mom said that she would,
maybe, throw me one,
but I don't know.

Let's talk to your mom,
friends and just find out

the products that they like
because I'm hearing

there are massive delays
on deliveries,

since you we won't be able
to go to the stores.

I don't have any...

Well, my friends...
No one's a mom.

Do you need me to send you
some lists?

I mean, I've done
a bunch of research.

I have lists, but...

Well... Yeah, I'll take a list.

Of course. No problem.
I will send that to
your e-mail. And, um...

Things are so crazy right now,

e-mail's probably
the best way

to get in touch with me
for the time being.

-Okay?
-Mmm-hmm.

Great. So we will
talk again soon.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Great. Bye.

Wait, so are you firing me?

At least you can file
for unemployment, okay?

I'm technically self-employed

and this SBA website
is a fucking nightmare.

I don't even know
if I qualify.

There's no money
coming in, okay?

I can barely afford my own rent,
let alone the office rent.

Well, I can't pay
my rent either now.

I don't...

I don't know what else to do.

I was already thinking
about moving to Mexico.

Now there's nothing
holding me back.

Maybe this is a sign.

Is there anything I can
help you with

before I start packing
and planning my leaving?

Is anybody helping you?

I got it figured out.

You're a hard-ass.

But I have enjoyed
working for you so much.

I will.

I will keep you posted.

I'll hold
the door for you,
if you like.

I'll wait for
the next one. Thanks.

Hi! Guys,
my name is Shaylyn.

I'm gonna be your guide
and your leader

during these four three hour
hypnobirthing classes.

So let's start by everybody
saying their name,

so that I can get to know you.

Your partner's name
and if this is your first child.

Your due date and then maybe
an interesting tidbit about you.

-Hi, everyone, I'm Kate.
And this is Jim.

This is my first.
Can you say "hi?"

Say, "hi, everybody."

Sorry, we had to give him
some screen time

so that we could
get this done.

Hello, I'm Becks.

-This is Rob.
-Hi.

We don't know
if it's a boy or a girl.

-We're just gonna be surprised.
-Oh, yeah.

Is it going speak in
an Australian accent?

-I mean, I hope so.
We're a bit strange.
-Maybe.

All right,
who's next?

Um, hi.

I'm Eva and I don't
have a partner.

I actually... This was
through sperm donation.

I see there's another
single mom, actually.

Aw, hi, Eva.
I'm not single.

I have, actually,
my husband.

Christian, baby.

-He's...
-Oh, is it time to start?

He's actually in
the front line,

taking care of
all of us, you guys.

I love you, babe.

That's why he couldn't
be here with me, but...

Well, he's there.

So, Eva, you're a single mother
by choice?

I just wanted to circle back.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

No, that's very brave.

It's gonna be the best decision
you ever made

with the most wonderful gift
you're giving yourself.

You will also never have
any free or quiet time

for the rest
of your life.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, how are
deliveries going?

Fine.

Well, uh, do you feel
like you're safe
at least, you know?

It is what it is.

How many have you had today?

I'm double-parked,
so I gotta go.
Have a good day, though.

Okay, um...

Hi. How are you?

Uh, when is your
due date again?
Remind me.

Uh, August 29th.

Uh, I'm sorry.
Are you a little young
to be a doula?

I'm more of just
an energetic support.

Not the lady that sews up
your vagina afterwards, so...

Okay. Yeah, Well, that's
good to know. 'Cause I...

definitely want that person
to have gone to medical school.

-No offense.
-None taken.

- Okay.
- Yeah. So would I.

I'm not totally sure like what,

what you guys do,
but it seems like it
could be really beneficial.

We are very well educated
on what is going on in your body

throughout your pregnancy
as well as your
birthing process.

If you become exceptionally
filled with fear or anxiety,

you can basically go
into a state of panic,

and the body responds
the same way.

And so then you've got
this clenched body

and that's
a lot more difficult.

to let a baby out of.

So is it kind of like...

I guess what
a husband would do if I...

I had one.

To be honest, the, the spouses
are usually freaking out
a little bit themselves.

I mean,
this does sound...
It sounds really nice.

Um...

The world is obviously
in a strange place,

and um, there's a lot
of stuff I'm trying to
figure out financially.

But, um, but could you maybe
send me a rate sheet
or something like that?

Do we really need the masks?

- I promise I'll stay on my towel.
- -Okay, but back up.

Okay.

Lift your shirt up.
I wanna see your belly.

Oh, you're huge, huh?

I'm not huge.
Huge is a terrible word.

Don't you remember
being pregnant at all?

I was always tiny.

I gained, like, 15 pounds
the whole pregnancy.

Well, that's not even healthy.

I am perfectly normal weight.

I'm not insulting you.

I just think it's fun.
You have a big belly.

Okay, enough with the belly.

-You look great.
-Thanks.

So how you doing with all this?

It is such strange times.

Yeah, it is.

I've been doing a lot
of budgeting,

a lot of accounting.

Listen, Eva, I wanted to talk
to you about the baby shower.

So I was thinking between
your girlfriends,

and then our family
and our distant family,

I think we could actually just
get everything on the registry,

which would be amazing.

You really think it's
appropriate to ask people to buy
you things at a time like this?

I will get you the crib.

Mom, I was counting
on this baby shower.

Since when did you
count on anyone?

Since I'm not making
any money and I'm putting
everything on my credit card,

You should ask your dad.

Yeah, right.

But maybe this is actually
a chance for him to step up
and be a parent. You know?

He doesn't even know
I'm pregnant.

I thought you guys
had the big dinner.

He is such a dick!

I don't even want
to talk about it.

Look, honestly...

that's why I don't
count on anyone.

Everyone's a huge
disappointment.

Eva, don't be like that.

We're going to figure this out.

No we're not.

I'm gonna figure it out
like I always do.

Hi.

Hey. So okay, I got upstairs.

It's really intense. They like
checked my temperature
and everything

before they let me in.

But look.

Oh, perfect,
you're already
in an exam room.

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah so, anyway I'm really
excited that you're here
on the call with me.

Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't
be there in person.

No, actually, they're not
letting anyone in.

So I guess,
it doesn't matter

They have this, like,
whole thing set up

for like, partners,
support system,
like, husbands...

to see the ultrasound
at the same time.

So I'm gonna prop
you up, and then you're
going to be able

to see the screen with me.

Um, of the baby okay?

Okay. I can't wait
to see our baby.

My baby.

I'm propping you up.

Hey, Eva,
it's Dr Levy.

I got a chance to
look at those scans.

Uh, everything's looking great,
but we will actually need

to have you come in
for the next anatomy scan,

even though we're skipping most
of the unnecessary ultrasounds.

You have something called
velamentous cord insertion.

Shouldn't be a big deal.
I just want to get it
checked out.

Great, thanks.

Hi. Eva, how are you?

Lauren. Hi. Sorry.

Um, I just was told that
I have this thing called
velamentous cord insertion.

And no one's picking up,
the doctor's not picking up,

my mom's not picking up.

And don't know if
you've heard of this
but I'm freaking out.

I just looked it up online
and then there's so many
horrible things in there.

I don't know what to do.

I'm having
a panic attack right now.

What?

It's okay. First things first,
put your hand on your belly
and take a deep breath

Okay, okay.

Say hello to the baby.

-Is the baby okay?
Is the baby okay?
-You're okay.

Yes, okay, yes, yes,
let it out. Let it out.

You're okay, I promise.
I'm gonna tell you everything
you need to know right now.

I just want you
to breathe, okay?

Now, the biggest question
we're gonna ask your doctor

is where the cord is.

Okay, let me write this down.

It can be closer
to the fundus.

- Okay.
- or the cervix.

So the fundus
is much better.

But regardless,

most people come out of this
with a perfectly healthy baby.

Things online are so horrible.

I know,
online it paints
a different picture,

because there's
all these stories

of horrible tragedies,
and it can create all this fear.

But we're here
for you, I promise.

I really hope. Thank you. Bye.

Bye.

Overnight, growing outrage
over the death of a black man

who died in police custody.

Police used
tear gas to push back the crowds

when thousands of protesters
took to the streets,

blocking intersections
and chanting,

"I can't breathe" demanding
justice for the death
of George Floyd.

Hand's up! Don't shoot!
Hand's up! Don't shoot!

The 46-year-old was seen
on the ground in handcuffs,

with a police officer's
knee on his neck.

His nose is bleeding.

A video camera
captured the final moments
of George Floyd's life.

About five minutes into
the video, Floyd appears
to lose consciousness,

EMTs arrive and check for pulse,

while the officer's knee
remains on his neck.

Floyd is later taken to
the hospital where he's
pronounced dead.

We are
following several protests

that are happening across
Southern California.

Look at this one
in West Hollywood.

It's probably
the largest one right now,

where protesters stopped traffic

and held a moment of silence,
many of them lying down

in the middle of
the intersection at
La Cienega and Santa Monica.

Then they marched to the police
precinct on San Vicente

where they have been stationed
for the past few hours.

Hey. So I'm pulling up to
a protest right now.

Have you been going?

Eva, why are you
at a protest?

I went to one the other day
and it was so hectic.

Trust me, you don't
need to be there.

I got tear-gassed.

I just, I really
wanted to do something,

but that's, that's very scary.

And there's a million things
you can do to contribute
right now.

But putting you
and your baby at risk
really isn't worth it.

All right.

You're totally right.

There's so many people out there
right now, I'm like...

It's still a pandemic.

Okay. No, you're right.
I'm... I'm gonna go home.

I'm just gonna go home.

All right, I love you.

Love you too.

Hey.

You look like shit.
Are you okay?

I look like Covid that's all.

Como, you got
the coronavirus?

Are you serious? What...

What are you feeling?

It's like...

like a horrible flu.

And it also hurts to breathe.

Oh, so that's, that's very kind.

You're gonna give me
the speech?

No. no, no, no, I'm...

I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry you got it.

I'm actually calling because...

It's really strong,
like at the end,

I really believe that
he's gonna, like, live this
whole new life, you know?

And it's, it's hopeful.

You're a tough nut to crack.

So if you got emotional,

then it's probably genius.

I started making a list
of producers and actors

that we can reach out to

and I feel like we can start
packaging this thing, at least,

and then you know, we'll take it
one day at a time.

Honestly, Eva,

I've been doing
a lot of thinking.

I think I might just
stay in Mexico.

What do you mean like...

permanently?

It can get really lonely.
I know.

And how are you?
How's work?

How's the rest of your clients?

It's been different. And, um...

had to let go of my office.

Had to let go of my assistant.

Lot of my clients
went back home.

I don't know who's
uh, coming back.

You know I, I have a friend,
Christy Romano.

You know, she's awesome.
She's funny.

Oh, I know Christy Romano,
I mean, she's not Latin

but I think I'd actually
make an exception
because she's so cool.

I'd love an introduction.

I would love to manage her.

No well I, I was,

gonna say that she, uh,
she needs a part-time assistant.

So, you know, maybe if you're...

if you're getting
squeezed for money,

I figured...

No, I just thought you could,
you could use the extra
cash right now.

Maybe...

I hope you know this
doesn't change anything.

I'm still gonna be here
for you and the baby.

You keep saying that.
I never fucking asked you
to be here for me and the baby.

And the truth is that you've
just been gone this entire time.

Well, I'm not gonna apologize
for not paying rent on a place

I'm not even living at.

Okay, I'm not asking
you to apologize,

but, like, what am I
supposed to do?

How am I supposed
to find a roommate
during Covid right now?

All I know is that
the movers are coming
to get my stuff today.

They're going to
put it all in storage.

If you need anything,
just call me.

Oh, great.
Yeah, that'll be great.

I'll just call. What are you
gonna do if I call you? Huh?

You can't do anything.
You're not here.

You know what, Skye?
I'm gonna be so busy

just dealing with my bills
and finding a new roommate
during Covid,

I don't think I'm gonna
have time to call you.

Okay? Bye.

I don't drink, I don't smoke.

And I've been in lock down
ever since this whole
thing started.

Here's my hand sanitizer.

I'm available to move in
right away.

Uh, you said it was
$1,200 a month, right?

I know you said $1200,
but I only got $700.

So, uh, can you do that?

You know, I like to keep
to myself really.

But I can pay, uh,
first and last month's
rent upfront.

And what did you say,
you do for work again?

Wait one sec, sorry.

How much weed do you smoke?

Honestly, shit ton.

You sound really perfect.

What about you? What's...

Uh, well, I'm...

I'm pregnant.

What?

Oh, I'm pregnant.

Seven months pregnant.

No, no, that's not,
that's not gonna work, sorry.

Arny has said so many
great things about you.

- Oh!
- So, I'm really excited to uh,

be talking to you right now.
Hold on one, hold on one second

Honey no, just,
she's ready to go down.

Yeah, she had,
she had her lunch.

Sorry. Yeah, she,
um... mom life.

Assistant's position
part-time is like,
20 hours a week.

-Okay.
-For starters, you know,
and then, uh,

you can, uh,
you can do it all

from the safety of your home

and in front
of your computer, so...

Oh, that's...
God, that sounds
so great right now.

Yeah, I love that.

Great. Okay, so then I would...
I would need you to work
on my social stuff.

Okay.

Uh, and then
I have a lot of projects
in development.

They need to be um,
sort of like, organized
and proofread,

and then, um, I need decks.

This is all stuff that
I'm like a pro at.

I actually have
a management company,

so I've been doing this
for a really long time.

Wow. Really?
Do you manage Arny?

Yeah, I do, Actually.
He's my client.

Well...

he, he was.

Well, I guess I...

I guess, technically,
I had a management company.

I don't know, it's...

Times have been really
tough lately, so...

Yeah, yeah. They have been
really, really crazy.

Uh, oh, honey,
are you pregnant?

Oh, um, no.

I mean, yeah.

I am, but that's not...
I'm a machine.

I've been going crazy

not working during quarantine.

-So this will interfere...
-No, no, no no, stop, stop!

Don't, don't, don't do that.

This is a good thing.
It's amazing. Congratulations.

Oh, thanks.

Oh my God.
You're gonna get so huge.

In my case, I just blew up.

Oh, wow.

My ankles, man,
they doubled in size.

-So,
-I'm sorry.

No, no worries.

So but this doesn't affect me
getting the job at all?

Oh, my gosh, No.
Are you kidding me?

Women need to support women,
especially pregnant women.

You're like creating
life inside your
little body right now.

I would... I would...
I would love this job.

I'm, yeah, I'm available.

I'm ready. I would love
to work for you.

And sorry. Just last question.

So uh, what was the rate again?
I didn't catch that.

Um, it's $17 an hour.

Babe, she's...
No, I don't know
if she's gone potty.

What're you talk...

Okay, I have to go. But, um,

I'm excited
if you're down.

Yeah, yeah. No, that works.
That totally works.

Okay, I'm gonna send you
an email with like a whole
bunch of documents.

And you can get going
on that stuff, and, uh,
I'll talk to you soon.

Great. Thank you. Bye.

Shit!

The deck is done.
And then I also

took all
the development scripts

and I color-coded them,
and I actually
alphabetized them.

Wow!
You are a beast, Eva.

Thank you.

So how are you?

Oh, um...

I'm good. I'm good.

-Yeah?
-No, I'm not good.

Um, my nanny quit
and um...

I've been home-schooling.

Moms, like, deserve an award.

Seriously. Like, I don't know
how we just like we get up,

and we just do everything.

All things, like,
you don't know yet.

You don't know yet,
but you will. Soon.

- Yeah -And um...
Like, ugh, I was so mean to my mom.

-Were you mean
to your mom?
-Yeah.

And now I'm looking back,

and I'm like,
she was just surviving!

So glad I have my husband.

Oh, I didn't mean it.
Well, you know, I mean,
you're gonna be fine.

Oh no, no, no. Don't worry
about that. Please, no I'm...

You've got this.
You're fine.

I'm... Yeah, I want...
I want to do this on my own.

I, uh...
My mom did on her own, too.

I mean, I had a dad,
but, you know...

-Not really. So...
-Hmm...

Anyway, um, let me know
if you need anything else.

Wait a sec. Hold on.
Um... Would you please
just tell her to quit?

Right.

Anyway, is there anything else
that you want me to do for you?

Why is she screaming?
What did you do?
You're torturing her?

Let me know what else
you need, okay?

Eva, can you just get
the meeting with Raymond
for next week, okay?

I gotta go. Eva, honey?

Yeah, yeah, I got it.
I wrote that down.

Hey, stay safe
and wash your hands.

Okay, I will.
Thanks. Bye.

-Hey!
-Hey!

I'm sorry about
last time. I was...

super hormonal.

It's all good.
I understand.

Did you find a roommate?

No, no!

There were some real weirdos
from the market for roommates.

Uh, but my dad
actually pulled through.

-Wow!
-Yeah.

I know.
I never expected it.

How's the baby doing?

Good. It's kicking a lot.

How's Crystal?
How's... What is...

What does she even do for work?
I never even asked.

Oh, um,
Crystal's an architect,
but she's good.

We're both doing good.
We're hanging in there together.

I feel like I didn't get
to spend time with you guys.

I wish I would have gotten
to know her better.

You're always working,
always busy. You know I get it.

I know, but when I was
talking to my dad, I realized...

I'm more like him
than I want to be.

Um, you're not that bad.

I don't know.

I want to see this baby soon
so we're going to have
to figure it out.

I know.
I know... I don't know...

Well, we'll figure it out.

Yeah, we will.

-Hey.
-Hey.

So, um, last time I was here,
it was pretty harsh.

I guess I just feel like
I had to be responsible
for the two of us

for so many years because
you were, you know, like...

All over the place and, um...

I guess I resented you for it.

It's not easy to raise a kid.

It's not going to be
easy to get it right.

You're not so sure
of yourself anymore?

You did the best you could.

You know, I always thought
that one day...

I would be a grown up...

and I would have
all the answers.

And then you realize that
that day never comes.

We're all just people
trying to figure it out.

I know I wasn't perfect...

but I love you.

I know.

I don't wanna
to do this all on my own.

Eva, you were never
gonna do this alone.

I'm gonna be a grandma.

I'm gonna be
a grandma.

I wish I could
hug you right now.

I wish you could too.

Oi!

Ugh!

Shit!

Hi! Hey, good to see you
again on FaceTime.

Tell me about the script
you sent my client.

Right. Um, so Arnulfo wrote it
with her in mind. And we think
she'd be perfect for the lead.

Is there a start date?

No, not yet, um...

So there's no start date,
no funding.

And you want her to attach
herself to your client's movie?

Well, everyone who has
a start date doesn't really

have a start date right now.

And we know
she loves the script, right?

Yeah, she does.
But, I mean, that's not enough

for her to attach herself
because she's extremely busy.

She has three projects
that she...

What's going on with you?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?
You listening?

-Hello?
-Yeah.

Um, yeah!
I think we should all just
jump on a Zoom call...

Right. This again. Okay,
I got to get going. I've seen
and heard enough.

I'll talk to you later.

Um... Wait. No, I'm pregnant.
I think I'm having contractions.

You're pregnant?

Yeah.

Is that why you were
throwing up after we met?

-What?
-I thought you had COVID.

No, no. That was
morning sickness.

You gotta take it easy.

Okay? Take it easy. And...

Are you having
another contraction?

Yeah, I think I'm...
I think I'm gonna call
my doula right now.

-Yeah.
-Okay, good...

- Hey, congratulations!
- Oh, thanks!

-I have three kids.
You're gonna have a blast.
-Thanks.

-Boy or girl?
-Oh, boy. Okay,
talk soon. Bye.

I'll be seeing you. Bye!

Hi, this is Lauren.
I am with a client off-grid
for the next couple of days.

If this is an emergency
or you are in labor,
please call Dana

at 323-333-6533.

She is aware of all my clients,
is a certified doula

and is ready to jump in
in a moment's notice.

Eva? I'm Dana. I'm Lauren's
replacement.

How you doing?

I've had five contractions
since the last message
that I sent you.

Having another one?

-Yeah.
-Okay, just find that breath.

Good. Send it deep
into your body.

- Keep it up.
Find that breath.

Just breath. Eva, changing
position could make it
a little more intense.

Good. Breathe,
breathe, breathe.

You're doing great.

- I'm definitely ready for an epidural.
- -Yeah!

Nice and slow.
Let's not rush to the car.

Okay.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.

My pleasure.

- You got the door?
- Yeah.

Are you feeling pain
or just uncomfortable,
like the shaking and stuff?

- Um...
- -You'll need to check her.

But the contractions...
I'm starting to feel.

You're starting to feel it?
You want to press your button again?

Yeah, but I already
pressed it twice.

You did?
Again, you pressed it? Okay.

Let me see if we can
give you a little more.

But it won't affect
his heart, right?

Right,
let's try and get you
on your back first

so we can place
the epidural bag.

The baby's
heart rate drops like,
an unusual amount, and...

They're a little worried
that there's a cord somewhere.

We're trying to figure out
how to...

do this as easily as possible
without affecting his heart.

Yeah,
it's so hard. I'm so sorry.

Cord compression
can be a very real thing.

-It's a very...
It can be dangerous.
-I did everything right.

We went into
natural labor and everything.

Eva, we've been
turning you every 20 minutes
for the last six hours

to try to shift
the baby's position.

Nothing is working.
We're going to have to do
an emergency C section.

Hi! Hi.

Ooh!

Ooh!

Every single piece
of this entire pregnancy...

it was absolutely worth it
because you are perfect.

You're what I've waited for
my whole life.
