Devious Maids (2013–2016): Season 4, Episode 6 - The Maid Who Knew Too Much - full transcript

Previously
on "Devious Maids"...

Are you having fun watching your
book get made into a movie?

It's not what I expected.

Let me introduce you
to the gang.

Hugh Metzger, I'm obsessed
with your films.

The truth is I didn't
want to get your hopes up.

- About what?
- About your movie

- being back in production.
- I thought it was dead.

Now it's not.
Hugh Metzger wants to direct.

We want you to write it.

Oh, you're the reverend?
Hello.



You seem so...
happy serving others.

Would you like to have dinner
with me tomorrow night?

Zoila, this is my mother.

I like her, too.
But not for you.

I have other plans
for you, Kyle.

I find you intriguing.

You only asked me out
to make Evelyn jealous.

It seems we have
a lot in common.

I never should have
broken up with you.

Give me another chance,
and I will make it up to you.

One thing.
Let's not tell my mother.

Deal.

I brought you a latte...
on the house.

That barista's
got a serious crush on you.



And every time I lead him on,
I get a free coffee.

I know you're my mother now.

Nothing's changed.

You don't want to be my mother?

I'm sorry, Danni,
but I can't be that for you.

Ready to go to the airport?

Just telling my mom
I'm coming home.

Who's that?
Fabian, my hairdresser.

You should read this.
I tried to read it.

- I found it kind of boring.
- You know what?

There's a reason
you didn't understand it.

The ideas in that
book are new...

and you're old.

There's this bad man named Ben.

He's involved
with something

- called The Circle.
- Hold on.

Fabian was always trying
to get me to read this.

It sounds like a cult.

We weren't sure you
could be trusted anymore.

W-W-We?
Mother knows about this?

She's very unhappy with you.

And you know how Mother gets.

Mm.

Mm.

These sheets are heaven.

It's nice staying
at your place...

for a change.

Well, don't get used to it.

My mother comes home
from her trip today.

Kyle...

why are we still keeping this
from her?

Because keeping a secret
is sexy.

Don't you think?

I just hate lying to her.

She's my friend,

and I think she'd be
really happy for us.

Yeah, but I don't want
to share you.

Not yet.

Kyle? I'm home.

- Ohh!
- She's back early.

Hide.

Hide?

We will tell her eventually,
but not like this.

Why don't you just
lock the door?

'Cause I never lock the door.

- She'll know something's up.
- You still asleep?

Fine.
Where's the closet?

I don't have a closet.
I have an armoire.

Here.
Go out the window.

Are you kidding?
We're on the second floor.

There's a ledge.

Just go out there for a minute,
and I'll get rid of her.

Come on. Go.

- Kyle, honey.
- Kyle. Kyle.

- Kyle.
- Quick, go, go, go!

This is crazy.

Aah!
It's not that high.

Mother. Hey.

Welcome home.

We need to talk about Ben.

Tell me
everything that happened.

Yeah. Absolutely.

But first, tell me...
how was your trip?

How was that?

Fine. Why?

What's wrong?

I got to put some clothes on.

I'll be downstairs in a sec.

Okay. All right.
Okay.

Zoila! You okay?

I'm fine.

I'm so sorry.
I'll call you later.

Buenos d?as.

Carmen, I've been thinking.

I'm giving you
the day off tomorrow.

What? Why?

Because it's your birthday.

No!

I mean, no.

You're confused.
My birthday's not tomorrow.

Well, of course it is.

I wrote it
in my calendar last year

after you struck me with a
Dustbuster for not remembering.

Well, I'm not
celebrating this year.

Why not? Is there something
different about this birthday?

Are you turning 40?

Don't say the "F" word!

Oh, come on.
40's not so bad.

I'm 37. And sticking.
Now drop it.

Is this because Danni's gone?

Now that you're facing
a milestone,

taking stock in your life,

you're realizing that you let
your only real accomplishment

walk out the door?

No. That's not it.

Danni leaving was a relief.
I never wanted to be a mom.

Now I can focus on being me...
Carmen Luna.

Carmen. The phone.

Yeah, yeah.

Powell residence.

Hey, I was trying
to reach Daniela Mercado.

Oh, she's not in.

Okay, you think I can leave
a message?

I tried her cell,
but I just can't get her.

Probably
because she's out of town.

Oh. Okay.

Um, I guess she'll just miss
this audition.

Wait, what?
What audition?

Um, it's tomorrow.

We're trying out dancers
for a new B.T. Chill video.

B.T. Chill?

The guy with the really high
voice and the really low pants?

He's huge.

Yep.
So I guess it's her loss.

No, no, no, no.
Don't hang up.

Give me the details.

Wait, I thought you just said
she was out of town.

I forgot she's
coming back today.

So tell me where it is,
and Daniela will be there.

Gail.

How nice to see you.

Evelyn, I was just getting my,
um, eyebrows waxed.

I have an eyebrow there, too.

You know, I think
the last time I saw you,

you were getting dragged
out of the country club

kicking and screaming.

I really hope I didn't
exacerbate the situation

by calling you a monster.

No. I understand.
You can't help your behavior.

You're like a feral cat
who's also drunk.

Wow, you seem to be
in an unusually good mood.

I am. I have a date.

That's why I'm here
getting gussied up.

Who's the lucky guy?

Reverend James Hamilton
from the Hamilton House charity.

- He's very handsome.
- I know.

Figure if I'm gonna get back on the
horse, it might as well be a...

Big black stallion?

Gail.

Being around you makes me seem
racially sensitive.

Though I have to say,

I can't really picture you
with a preacher.

I mean,
do they even make money?

Does it matter?
It's just a date.

I don't have to marry the man.

So, is, um... is Adrian
seeing other people, too?

I don't know and I don't care.

Adrian is free to do anything
or anyone he pleases.

Hmm.
Okay, well, have fun.

I can't believe I'm writing

a film being directed
by the Hugh Metzger!

I'm gonna learn so much
from you.

Yeah, well, you know what?
I'm impressed with you, too.

It's amazing how quickly
you wrote that outline.

I lived it.

And the other script
got so much wrong,

I was bursting at the seams
to tell the story my way.

Well, I-I loved what you did
with it.

Thank you.

So, now we can talk
about what we need to change.

Oh, okay. Okay.

I look forward
to hearing your thoughts.

Okay.

Trey, give her my thoughts.

Well, first off,
Hugh had the great idea

to change the setting to Miami.

Yeah, Beverly Hills is just
a little too on-the-nose.

But Beverly Hills
is such a good backdrop

for the themes of class
disparity.

Don't you think?

Yeah, let's, uh...
Let's put a pin in that, okay?

Next, it'd be great if
the maids could be sexier.

Show some skin.

Yeah, what if there's, like,
a room where they all change

before they go
to work every day?

Like, a maids' locker room.

Maids' locker room.
Great idea, Hugh.

Okay, that was my idea,

and I wasn't being serious,
'cause it's not a thing.

Ah, well, let's...
Let's put a pin in that, too.

Beginning to think
"putting a pin in it"

means you're
just gonna change it later.

Wow, you're right.

You are learning a lot from me.

Westmore.

Oh.
Uh, Kill Face.

Heard you were back
from the hospital.

We missed you
at play rehearsal.

That's still happening?

Of course it is.
This Friday.

If you need more time
to prepare,

we can run lines in the shower.

No, I'm good.

And don't worry.
Your family's gonna love it.

My family?

Didn't you invite them?
Friday's family day.

We do a play every year
for the kids.

We just never had
a star like you before.

Oh, thanks.

But do you really think prison
is the best place for children?

Listen to me.

I've been in here a long time.

You get a chance
to hug your family, you take it.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

I mean, who knows?
You may never see them again...

especially if you're
not off book by Friday.

Oh!
Well, hello there.

You must be the haircut guy.

Come on in.

So, who referred you to me?

I...really must thank them.

Oh.
I don't need a haircut.

You don't?

But I got a text asking
for an at-home appointment.

That was from me.

Wait.

Aren't you
Genevieve Delatour's maid?

Did she put you up to this?

Is that why you tricked me
into coming here?

I'll get back to work.

Hold on. Stay.
I want a witness for this.

Please, Fabian.

Mrs. Genevieve doesn't even know
I called you.

Well, she really hurt me.

Do you know
she thought I was gay?

Can you believe that?

Shocking. Excuse me.

I picked up the book you gave
Mrs. Genevieve about The Circle,

and I thought
it was really interesting.

Mm-hmm.

Fabian, I am talking to you.

What? Oh. Yes.
The book.

I want to know more
about The Circle.

Can I join?

You?

No.
No, no, no, no, no.

Why not?

Sweetheart, our members
are very chichi...

politicians, celebs.

I mean, for God's sakes...
Peri Westmore was in The Circle.

She was?

The point is,
you don't choose us.

We choose you.

And let's be honest, no one
is ever going to choose you.

See ya.

Did you hear that?
Peri was in The Circle.

Maybe she wanted out,
and that's why they killed her.

I just wish I could get inside,
but they only want rich people.

So what are you gonna do now?

I don't have a choice.

I got to get Mrs. Genevieve
to join the cult.

Ouch! You must
really like this guy

to climb out of a window
for him.

I won't even drive
to the Valley for a guy,

no matter how hot he is.

I think it's weird

that Kyle won't tell his mother
he's seeing you.

I know, but we're still in the,

"He's so hot I don't want
to question it," phase

of our relationship.

You know the mom. Why don't
you just talk to her yourself?

Honestly, I think
she'd be fine with it,

but Kyle asked me
not to tell her.

Maybe she can find out
by accident.

You know,
that's not the worst idea.

Aw.

I always like it when
I don't have the worst idea.

Here's a decaf, triple-shot,
skinny latte for Carmen

and whatever these are
for you guys.

Mmm!

They always get my order wrong.
What is so hard about black?

Why do we even come
to this place?

Because that barista
thinks I'm hot,

and I never have to pay
for my drinks.

But we do.

So, 'Manita,

what do you want to do
for your big birthday tomorrow?

Shh!
It's not my birthday.

Aw, is someone upset
about turning 40?

Ow! Ohh!

I'm not turning the "F" word.

Sweetie, you've turned 37

for the last three years
in a row.

You're 40!
We should celebrate!

I can't.
I have an audition

for a B.T. Chill
music video.

How'd you snag that?

Well, technically,
Danni got the audition,

but she's not around,
so I'm gonna go in as her.

You're stealing
your own daughter's audition?

That is not right.

It's what Daniela
would have wanted.

She's in Puerto Rico,
not heaven.

Besides, they're expecting
a 20-year-old.

What do you think they'll say

when they see you looking
all... not 20?

People think I'm in my 20s
all the time, honey.

Trust me.

I still got it.

Here you go, ladies.
Separate checks.

Oh.

Wait.
I always get mine free.

Sorry, Carmen.
Not today.

Ooh!

Maybe you don't still got it.

Adrian's hidden all the money.

He retained every divorce
attorney in this town.

He won't even let me
into my own home.

Hmm.
Oh, you poor thing.

You don't want
to listen to me complain

about my
soon-to-be ex-husband.

Oh, no, I don't mind.

I'm actually planning
a sermon on the devil.

This is really good material.

I didn't realize ministers were
allowed to have a sense of humor.

Well, we're not, so please don't
tell the other ministers.

James, I must say...

this date is going better
than I hoped.

Oh, you thought I'd be
a real dud, huh?

I was afraid you might be
a bit of a... goody-goody.

Well, trust me, Evelyn.

I'm no saint.

Reverend.

Oh, hello, Laverne.

I just wanted
to thank you again

for everything you did
for my family.

The money you raised for Timmy's
surgery was a Godsend.

You should really thank
Dr. Levin.

I'm so glad he and I
stayed in touch

after we volunteered in Africa.

Hey, Timmy.
How you doing, buddy?

My doctor says soon
I'll be running and playing

just like the other boys.

You must be a very special woman
to be with the reverend.

Best man in the entire world.

Yes.

I am starting to see that.

So, you haven't said anything

about your meeting
with Hugh and Trey.

It doesn't feel right

to use our relationship
to talk about them.

They said you were very
difficult and not collaborative.

They're morons.

That's better.

And their ideas stink.
I don't even know who Trey is.

Some guy who gets paid
to sit there and agree?

In Hollywood, they call that
a producing partner.

They were so critical.
I felt like I was under attack.

But that's the process.

Just try not to take it
so personally.

I poured my heart and soul
into that book.

Maybe you're too close to it.

Those guys are
critiquing the material.

- They're not critiquing you.
- All right, okay.

Look,

they just want to feel like
they're being heard.

Don't say "no" to their notes.

Just try something like,
"Well, that's interesting.

Let me think about it."

Then can I ignore them
and do whatever I want?

How about if you get a note
that's particularly terrible,

you bring it to me.

I'll back you up.

Mm, dating the head
of the studio has its perks.

Hmm, speaking of which,

I've got that shareholder
meeting in New York this week.

Why don't we make the most
of the time we have left?

I love that idea.

You see?
I am collaborative as hell.

Mm.

Listen, Rosie,

I want you and the boys to come
to family day on Friday.

Oh, Miguel has school,
but I can bring Tucker.

Ah, that would be great.
I would love to see him.

Spence, did you know Peri
was in a cult?

- You're kidding.
- Mnhmnh.

It turns out The Circle is a cult,
and Peri was in it.

Rosie, I thought you were gonna
stop looking into Peri's murder.

These people are dangerous.

I love you, Spence.

No matter how risky it is,
I can't just give up on you.

But I wish you would.

Just promise me
You won't do anything crazy

like try to join this cult.

We...

Um, I have to go, but I promise

I will not join the cult,
mm-hmm.

Rosie, I'm off to the club.

Oh. Really?

You're going out with your hair
looking like that?

What's wrong with my hair?

Mm...

nothing, but...

But what?

It just hasn't looked as good
since you stopped seeing Fabian.

What are you talking about?

My hair looks perfect.

I just think Fabian
made it look extra special.

He did give an amazing blowout.

But he insulted me.

Besides, he's involved
with that awful cult.

It doesn't seem that bad.

And cults are a great place
to meet new people,

maybe a new man, huh?

Rosie, what's going on?

Is this
about Peri's murder again?

I think the cult had something
to do with it,

but The Circle doesn't want me,
because I'm not rich...

like you are.

You mean you want me
to join the cult?

I know it might seem dangerous,
and it's a lot to ask.

Well,
why didn't you just say so?

- I'll join.
- You will?

Well, don't look so shocked.
I've belonged to a cult before.

In my defense, it was the '80s,

and I thought it was
an exercise class.

I must say I was surprised
when you invited me over.

Why? We've been getting
to know each other lately.

We're... buds.

Buds.

I like the sound of that.

Truthfully, I don't have
many female friends

or male friends.

Please.

Aren't you friends with all
those rich people at the club?

Oh, they're
mostly acquaintances.

Sometimes they act like friends
when they need a favor.

You need a favor.

No!

Okay, yes.

I need you to invite Frances
to lunch

and then cancel
at the last minute.

And why would I do that?

Because I need her
to come home unexpectedly

and find me
in bed with her son.

Oh, how deliciously kinky.

This is why
you don't have friends.

Look, I'm tired of keeping
my relationship a secret,

but I can't
tell Frances directly, so...

You want her to catch you
in flagrante delicto!

I'm in.

I wouldn't go
through all the trouble,

but Kyle is weird
about his mother,

almost like he's scared of her.

W-Why in the world would anyone
be scared of Frances?

Kyle is my actual son,

but everyone
in The Circle is my child.

And when I ask one of my
children to handle a situation,

I expect it to be handled.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Someone's going around asking
about Peri's murder.

Rosie.

And if she figures out
the truth,

we're all in danger...
our entire family.

- I'll take care of it.
- Good.

And, Ben, don't disappoint
your mother again.

Okay, name.

Daniela Mercado.

This says your name
is Carmen Luna.

Oh.
That's just my stage name.

Okay, whatever your name is,

I don't think you're exactly
what we are looking for.

You're not looking
for hot, sexy dancers?

We are looking for
Girls who are a little more...

born in the last two decades.

Let me tell you something.

Today is not the day
to tell me that I'm too old!

I came here to dance,
and I'm going to dance!

Okay. Okay.

You can warm up over there.

Aw, I didn't know they were
casting the mom in this video.

I'm so happy we put
all that ugliness behind us.

Me too.
I hate fighting with you.

I just wish I'd read
that book you gave me sooner.

It's really changed
my whole perspective.

Well, hallelu,
she's seen the light.

So, you'll introduce me
to your friends in The Circle?

Not so fast.
There's a process.

If you're truly committed.

Of course I am.

Whatever it takes.

What's all this?

Well, before anybody joins
The Circle,

we have to analyze
their commitment.

Hold these.

Is this gonna hurt?

No. No.

I'm just gonna ask some
questions about your life,

and the machine tells me
whether you answer honestly.

You don't have to worry
about that.

I'm an open book.

Good.
Let's start with your age.

- Hmm?
- Your age?

Oh.

35.

45.

Genevieve, I thought you were
serious about this.

55?

Wait. Okay.

It starts with... a six.

I'll take that.

Now, let's move on
to something easier.

Oh, could we?
That would be wonderful.

How much do you weigh?

I'm so sorry, Frances.

I have to cancel
our lunch last minute.

You should go on home.

We'll do it another time.

Bye, now.

Adrian, how do you feel about
the placement of these sofas?

Oh, Gail,
I trust your judgment.

You have a wonderful eye.

I have
other wonderful things, too.

Don't you think?

Beg your pardon?

Well, you said I have
a wonderful eye.

I've also heard I have
a wonderful... butt.

I'm sorry.
I just came in for a Bourbon.

Adrian, would you like to have
dinner with me tonight?

You're friends with Evelyn.

Doesn't this
seem... inappropriate?

Evelyn's not
in the picture anymore.

There's no reason to deny
the deep sexual tension

that's always been between us.

Is it possible you're unclear on
the meaning of sexual tension?

Don't act like you haven't
thought about it.

I've caught you staring
at my breasts before.

You took them out
at a dinner party.

- I was caught by surprise.
- Come on, Adrian.

You're a sexual deviant,
and I am game for anything.

And I do mean anything.

G-Gail, I'm flattered,
but I'm married.

Now, this situation
with Evelyn is only temporary.

I know she'll come back to me.

Hmm.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Haven't you heard?
Evelyn is seeing someone.

She's been dating
James Hamilton.

- Reverend Hamilton?
- Mmhmm.

They met at the gala,

and things have been
hot and heavy ever since.

Well, you give it some thought,
and remember,

my door is always open...

if you know what I mean.

It's impossible not to.

Before we start, I want
to apologize for yesterday.

I got defensive, but I know
none of this is personal.

Great, because we need to talk
about the big note.

- I'm ready. Fire away.
- Okay.

The character of Maria, the one
pretending to be a maid...

- She's really, um...
- Unlikeable.

Yeah.

Um, this is a bit awkward,

but the character of Maria
is based on me.

Oh, no, of course.

But the way she's written...
I mean, she's just no fun.

I mean, who'd want to hang out
with that gal?

Yeah, you know the one
I really like... her friend...

the hot one who's trying
to be a singer.

- Mm, Carmelita.
- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I want
to do tequila shots with her.

But it's not right for Maria.
She's trying to save her son.

Yeah, about that...
I don't buy it.

But it happened.

Going undercover,
putting herself at risk,

lying to her friends...
She seems crazy.

Yeah, no,
a woman doesn't do that.

Now, look, I got three ex-wives
and a daughter.

I know women.

So, you should see that Maria

is strong and determined.

If she were a man,
You would find that admirable.

You're absolutely right.
Maria should be a man.

Genius!

What? No.
Not genius!

Oh, now it makes sense.

- I totally buy that coming from a man.
- Mmhmm.

You're saying that a man
goes undercover as a maid?

He pretends to be a woman.

- Like Mrs. Doubtfire.
- Yes!

Oh! Will Ferrell
would be perfect!

Will Ferrell as Maria?!

What do you think?

I'm hungry.
Let's go grab a bite somewhere.

No.
Let's stay in bed and cuddle.

Mm.

Did you hear that?

- Kyle, you upstairs?
- Oh, God, not again.

Oh, shoot.
She's back.

I guess she's gonna
find out about us.

Okay, you got to go
out the window.

No.
I'm not going anywhere!

Oh, yes, you are.

No!
You are so strong!

Ohh!

Everything okay up here?

Hello, Frances.

What's going on?

I guess the cat's
out of the bag.

Kyle and I are dating again.

I'm so sorry, Mother.

Stop.
There's no need to apologize.

We're all adults here,
right, Frances?

Get out of my house.

Excuse me?

I said get out!

You are no longer welcome
in this house.

Carmen Luna. Lucy Nestor.

I'm dancing against her?

Try and keep up.

Thank you.
Lucy...

you can go.

Carmen...

stay.

We'd like to see more.

Yes!

Yes! You take that,
you little hater!

You can kiss my... Aah!

Okay, next two dancers.

Carmen, clear the stage.

Wait a minute. Did you just
throw your back out?

No, no, I'm fine.

I'm just resting.

On second thought, Carmen,
I think we've seen enough.

There.

Oh, Rosie, it was torture.

I'm so sorry.

What did Fabian do to you?

He asked me
deeply personal questions.

And he wouldn't quit
until he broke me.

I am broken.

What were the questions?

My age, my weight,

which parts of me are real
and which are fake.

So he wanted
to know your secrets.

He even made me tell him

every sordid detail
of my sexual history.

Of course,
That part I rather enjoyed.

Does everyone
have to answer these questions

before they get
into The Circle?

That's what he said.

It's part of the initiation.

So Peri must have done it, too.

If she did,
there'll be a recording.

He filmed the whole thing.

I've got to find that video.

If Peri had a secret,
maybe it got her killed.

Are you actually defending
your mother?

We caught her off-guard.
She doesn't like surprises.

She's crazy!

One minute,
I'm her best friend.

The next minute,
she's kicking me out.

She's not mad at you.
She's mad at me.

She thinks if I'm dating
someone, I'll be distracted.

From what?

You're upset.

Let me pour you a drink.

You know what?
I think your mother's jealous.

She's afraid I'm gonna take away
her little boy.

She's just overly protective.

So tell her to back off.

We just need to give her
some more time, okay?

She'll come around.

I'm not gonna wait
for her to come around.

Zoila, please.

Kyle, you are a grown man.

If you can't stand up to your
mother, then this is over.

Oh, Evelyn,
can you give me a hand?

I'm sorry.

I'm very busy learning
how to be a better,

more considerate person.

Well, so far, so good.

Are you reading the Bible?

I'm studying up
for my next date with James.

I'd like to strike the right
balance of sexy but pious.

Oh!
You really like this guy.

I'm just as surprised
as you are.

Here I was thinking I was
too good for him.

It turns out it's just
the opposite.

What happened?

He's just... kind.

He wants
to make the world better.

Sounds like a breath
of fresh air after Adrian.

Exactly. Now,
if you'll excuse me,

I need to revamp
my entire personality.

All right, take this
to the truck

and ask Rafael
to help with the rest.

Are you James Hamilton?

I am.

Are you here to volunteer?

No, not likely.

I heard about the work you do,

and I wanted
to see it for myself.

Well, I'm always proud to tell
people about Hamilton House.

Well, over the years,

we've helped thousands
of children who don't have...

You don't have to sell me, Rev.

I've already written you
a check.

Well, that was easy.

Wow.
That's, um...

Impressive?

Of course,
there are strings attached.

Strings?

Yes. Perhaps I should
introduce myself.

- I'm Adrian Powell.
- Oh.

I'm giving you this donation
on one condition...

You stay away from my wife.

- Mr. Powell...
- Think of all the

good you could do with it.

You can't possibly
choose Evelyn

over the needs of the poor,
sweet children.

Can you?

Go on, take it.

Really, it's
the Christian thing to do.

I am so sorry to get you
involved like this.

I told you I have your back.

Yeah, but you shouldn't have to
fight your girlfriend's battles.

I'm not here
because you're my girlfriend.

I'm here because you're a writer
that I believe in.

Okay?

Ah, if you get called
into the big boss' office,

there better be Scotch
and hookers.

I'm just kidding.

I hate Scotch.

Well, I thought we should all get
on the same page about the script.

Couldn't agree more.
Me too.

First off,
Maria won't be a man.

It... It changes the tone
of the whole piece.

And you think people will buy it
if it's a woman?

I mean, that, uh,
Marisol is nuts.

I'm Marisol.
The character is Maria.

Oh.

I think Maria and Marisol are
both layered and interesting.

Fine, just make sure
you cast someone thin.

Yeah, not one of those
fat-tresses

that are all the rage
right now.

Oh, my God, that...

is fine.

You know, um,

as long as we're being candid
and everything,

I've got to tell you that, um,

I'm not feeling great
about your choice of writer.

We tried this movie
with a different writer,

and it didn't work.

We brought Marisol in
to get it right.

Well, be that as it may,
I've made up my mind.

So it's either her or me.

Oh, well, fine.

We'll get another director.

Maybe even a woman.

Come on.

Hugh's made millions
for the studio.

He has two Oscars.

I don't think he's the one
who's off the project.

Peter?

Marisol...
look, I'm sorry.

Oh... no.

I get it.

Excuse me.

Genevieve Delatour?

All her deepest and darkest.

I thought she couldn't be
recruited.

Well done.

I need to speak to you, Mother.

Alone.

Ooh, Glasses is in a mood.

Kyle, I don't want to fight.

My whole life,
I have never said no to you,

but Zoila makes me happy.

Why can't I be with her?

Zoila is a discontent.

You've already changed
under her influence.

You're afraid of her.

You think that she'll lure me
away from you and The Circle.

That relationship is over,
and so is this conversation.

Understood?

Go to hell, Mother.

Oh, my God.
Carmen, are you okay?

I'll be fine. Ow.

Oh, what can I get you?

A decaf latte would be nice.

Of course.

That's $5.95.

Oh, God. Um...

Why are you crying?

My life is a total mess.

No. No, it's not.

I don't have a career
or a husband.

And I was supposed
to be a star, you know?

I mean, that's why I gave up
Danni, you know?

- Danni?
- I've wasted my whole life,

and I can't get free coffee
because I'm 40,

and even you don't think
I'm hot anymore!

Ow!

Carmen.
Carmen, look at me.

Look, you see that?

The boss installed it last week

to make sure
we don't give stuff away.

Really?

If it were up to me,
you'd always get free coffee

and free scones and muffins.

So you still think I'm hot?

Carmen, I think you're
the most beautiful woman

in the whole world.

I can't believe
that just happened.

Me, neither.

Ohh, hey, kid.

Did you guys like the play?

Oh, yes, this is
a very talented prison.

I know.
It's amazing.

And can you believe Kill Face
built all those sets himself?

Daddy,
when are you coming home?

I don't know, but it's...
it's gonna be a while.

But hopefully soon.

Hey.

I saw some cupcakes
on the snack table.

Go get us one.

You really shouldn't get
his hopes up like that.

I'm not.

I'm still going to get you
out of here.

In fact, I think Peri had a big
secret, and that's why...

Rosie, can we please
not talk about Peri?

I just want to enjoy my time
here with you and Tucker, okay?

Okay, I'm... I'm sorry.
You're right.

I've missed you so much.

Where's our cupcake?

They're all out.

Ah.

I wish Daddy could
come home with us.

I'm working on it, chiquito.

It's okay.
Close your eyes.

We'll be home soon, huh?

Shouldn't you be
on your way to New York?

I was headed to the airport
and I made the driver stop.

Look, I feel awful
about what happened.

You humiliated me in front of
those horrible men.

I'm so sorry.

But how could I tell
the shareholders

that I chose a novice
screenwriter over Hugh Metzger?

I get that. I do.

But you said that
you had my back.

What can I do
to make things better?

I don't want to leave
with this unresolved.

Then stay.

We're not gonna resolve this

in the two minutes
while your car waits outside.

Can't you go tomorrow?

It's work.

And work takes priority.
I'm starting to get that.

Don't be that way.

You know what?
It's good that you're going.

I need some time.

What does that mean for us?

I don't know.

Your driver's waiting.

Thank you, my child.

Have a blessed evening.

Something wrong, James?

I've been thinking.

Me too. I believe I'm going
to have the soup tonight.

It reminds me of the soup
kitchen where I volunteer

when I'm not donating blood
or reading to the blind.

We need to talk.

Oh, God.

Gosh...
I mean... Sorry.

- Evelyn.
- It's all right.

I know what
"We need to talk" means.

- You do?
- You don't need to pretend.

You're a better person
than I am.

We both know it.

If I were you, I wouldn't want
to be with me, either.

Look, hold on.

It's just...

Your husband came by.

He gave me this
so I'd stop seeing you.

Ohh!

Now, that's a lot of zeros.

I could do some real good
with it.

Of course you could.

I can't accept it.

What?

It wasn't his money to give.
He took it from you.

Now I'm giving it back.

I-I don't know what to say.

Just use that money

to hire the best divorce
attorney you can find

and get the hell
away from that man for good.

So you're not breaking up
with me?

My heart can't be bought.

But lying to my husband...
Isn't that a tad bit immoral?

Like I said before,

I'm no saint.

I did it.
I broke up with my mother.

- What?
- Okay, yeah,

I know how that sounds,

but I stood up to her,
just like you said.

Good for you.

So can I stay here?

With me?

I don't have anywhere else
to go.

Rosie, thank God.

Are you okay?

Where's Tucker?

We're both fine.
Tucker's next door.

They want to keep us overnight
for observation.

I called Shannon.
She's on her way.

Do you want me to tell Marisol
and the girls?

No, I don't want to worry them.

I just called the house so you
and Shannon would know.

I-I can't believe
this happened.

Who hit you?

I didn't see.

It was a hit-and-run.

But, Jesse, I don't think
it was an accident.

Oh, my God.
Someone hit you on purpose?

It was a warning
from The Circle.

They want me to stop looking
into Peri's murder.

I must be getting close.

Is everything all right,
Mother?

Kyle and I had an argument.

Well, maybe this
will make you happy.

I don't think Rosie's gonna be
asking any more questions.

I heard you ran her
off the road.

Ben, are you aware that
Tucker Westmore was in the car?

Is that a problem?

It's a big problem.

How could you be so reckless?

I'm sorry.

What's in this?

Tucker Westmore
is the key to everything.

I told you
not to disappoint me.
