- Previously
on "Good Girls"...

- I was at a GED prep class.

- How'd you do?
- Aah!

- Now we both have
to pay for college.

- What's he got you into?

- Whatever Gene needs.

There's 300 more coming
right behind it.

- Maybe you can ask
for some kind

of commission or something.

- You crushed it.
What I am gonna do



is invest it back
into the company.

- We'd just rather
take our cut.

- I care about you guys
too much

to let you do that.

- Weren't you're gonna go
on a bike ride?

- Can't.
I have a radius

of three blocks
with this thing.

- I'll ask him
to increase the radius.

- What are we doing here?

- Following the money.

- I can't keep doing this.

- Don't have much of a choice.

'Cause I also have people
to answer to.

They're gonna wanna meet you.



- I'm just his grandmother.

- Heard a lot
about you, Elizabeth.

- Just Beth.
- My cousin.

- Brother.
- Cousin.

- He was going to see
your wire.

- Now we're right back
where we started.

- Her wire's still hot.

- I need a bank.
Can't be you.

- This is my friend.

- She FBI or Secret Service?

Found the wire.
- I didn't have a choice.

- Well, you got one now.
So what's it gonna be?

[video game sound effects]

- I can't do the eyes.

Dope.

- You'll get it, brother.

[oven dings]
- Cousin.

- [sighs]
Ohh.

For the love of God.

What's older, me or this oven?

Don't answer that.

Nice and hot.
Here ya go.

[chuckles]

What's that face?
- Tastes nasty.

- Mm.

Bad eggs.

- Try it.

- Hell, no.

- Rotten one can ruin
the whole bunch.

- Just put it in?
- Mm-hmm.

If they sink, they're good.

- Better to catch it now.

Okay.
Now we have to start all over.

Now, where is that
baking powder?

Here we go.
Vanilla, brown sugar.

Flour.
Who wants to help?

[mid-tempo music]



- You and me, we got
a real opportunity here.



- What am I supposed
to tell them?

- Just keep 'em busy.

- The people who live
in a surveillance van

outside of my house?
- Yeah, them.

They don't trust you?

- I've given them nothing.

- Well, you better
give 'em something.



- They're gonna
see right through it.

- Not if you play it smart.



- I'll end up in jail.

- I'm not asking you.

- Well, I'm not doing it.



- [laughs]

You know, there's worse
places to end up, right?



- I thought you needed me.

- I do.

- Well, there you go.

- But not your family.



You feel me?

Keep your head up, champ.

We're playing
the long game here.



[door slams]

- You guys.

Say something.
Anything.

- Who exactly do
we work for now?

[loud slice]

- You mean, who don't
we work for?

- See, that's the part
I'm having a problem with.

- Why does he have us printing?

- I don't know.

- What's it for?

- It didn't come up.

- [chuckles]
How are we supposed

to keep it secret
from the Secret Service?

[suspenseful music]



- [exhales]
Let's just pack it up.

- Yeah, right.

- Did you figure out
where his money goes?

- Not Mediterranean Avenue.

- Not anywhere.

D.C. is not gonna keep the tab
going much longer.



- They'll take our deal away.

- You know what
he'll take away?

- Like we have anything
left to lose.

- Our kids.



- What if
she's protecting him?

- She can't think
we're that stupid.

- She's not thinking
with her brain.

- He is pretty hot.

- Stupid hot.



- So, we're back
to where we started?

- The man's like IBS.

- Ain't no cure.

- Never know when
it's gonna strike.



- Well, now she thinks another
baby is gonna fix everything.

- First three didn't.

- I got four.

- I told her--I said,
"Honey, the time I spend

in the saddle,
the sack is cashed."

- Wait, is that a--
is that really a thing?

- [chuckles]
It's a perk.

[laughter]

- What was it like?

- Oh...

This?

- Big house.
- Yeah.

It was kind of a party.

- Come on, man.
- No, seriously.

Food wasn't that bad.
I got to work out all the time.

Plus I had my own cell, so...

- How'd you swing that?

- My first cellie
tried to steal my ramen,

so I beat him
within an inch of his life.

- Over ramen?

- Took his nose off.

With my teeth.

[laughs]

- Jesus.

- I'm just busting
your cashed sack, bro.

[laughter]

- You want to know
what it's really like?

- Yes.

- It's kind of like being

in an elephant exhibit
at the zoo.

- Dude.
- And all the other elephants

think that you are their wife.
- Dude.

- And it's your honeymoon.
- Dude.

- And they won't stop
until they put a baby in ya.

I'm kidding!
- Okay, I'm not believing

a word that comes out
of this guy's mouth.

- I mean, look,
I did sell cars.

- Yeah, he could sell
bottled water to fish.

- I also sold hot tubs.

- Dean, how do you feel
about men's skin care?

- Uh...neutral.

- Mm, well,

we're about to change that
for you, buddy.

- You ever heard
of "The System"?

- That's, like,
a pyramid thing, right?

- No, more like a multilevel
opportunity.

- I mean, skin care
is not really my jam.

- It's not really about that.

- And there's a good chance
I'm probably going back

to the elephant exhibit
anyway, so...

- That's exactly why
you need "The System."

- Right, and you don't just
get a bunch of products.

You get a support network.

[soft music]

- Well, that's sounds good.

Cool.
Just, you know,

let me put
a think on it, you know.



- All the time you need.

- Hey, we're not just into you
for your skin.



[cell phone chimes]

Tina's ovulating.

- Let's get back on the road.
Yeah.

- It's go time.

- When you get out of bed
in the morning

and throw your uniform on,

what do you expect
out of your day?

I mean, a living wage, maybe.

A reasonable amount of breaks.
Okay.

But what does any of that
mean if you don't have respect?

- Like, when the customers

get handsy?
- Sure.

I mean, yeah,
that's a part of that.

- But we get tipped way more
when we let that happen.

- Yeah, I'm thinking more about
how you're valued

as an employee.

You guys got a health plan?

Dental?

- No.

- What about paid sick leave?
How about daycare?

- You know we got none of that.

- Okay, well these are
the investments

that an employer should make.

- Why?

- 'Cause you are crucial
to the success of this company.

Right?

I mean, picture a McDonald's
without a Ronald.

Imagine green beans
without the Jolly Green Giant.

- Charles Schwab

without Mr. Schwab.
- Exactly, okay?

You are the face
of this business.

- No one's looking
at our faces.

- And what does Gene
give you in return?

- 10% of our tips.

- That's not daycare.

- Well, we can take home
the extra food

from the private parties.

- Not paid sick leave.
Not dental.

- He's not wrong.

- And definitely not respect.

- Yeah.
Stan's right.

- We deserve it.

- Screw that guy.

- He lies.
He cheats.

He takes better care of these
poles than he does any of you.

- He's right.
That is so messed up!

- We deserve better.

- Enough is enough.

- So what do you want us
to do, Stanimal?

- How do you strip without
taking any clothes off?

- You don't.

- But people come
to see the booty.

- That's my point.

- [laughs]
So they won't come.

- Now you're getting it.

- Okay, well,

that's one of the dumbest
things I've ever heard.

- [laughs]

Okay.
Hold up.

Gene doesn't have a club
without the girls, right?

So eventually, he's gonna have
to come to me to negotiate--

- Or he just sacks all of you
and starts over.

- Then we do a sit-in.
Old school-style, right?

Handcuff ourselves
to the stage.

- I take it back.
- Force his hand.

- That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.

- Yeah, that's what
the girls said too.

- Hey, that's mine.
Let it go!

- I had it first!

- You can't just go in my room.

- Well, Mom says
you have to share.

- Hey, hey, hey.
Let Danny have it.

- He only wants it
'cause I was playing with it.

- Give it to your sister.

- You gave it to me
for my birthday.

- Yeah, like, three years ago.

- Ow!

- A little help here
would be nice.

- This one's better.

The legs bend.

- Let me see.

- That one's busted.
- It'll keep her busy.

- Should we be mad
or impressed?

[soft music]



- How do you always lose
your key?

- What do you care?
It's never locked.

- It's always locked.

- It hasn't been like the
last ten times we've come here.

- Because I always have my key.

- Yo, I thought
we finished his run.

- This one's not for him.

- You know what time I have to
be at the salon tomorrow?

- So, he's the toy
they want, right?

- You're gonna be late.

- But we can't give 'em
the toy that they want.

- I should text my boss.

- So we're gonna give 'em
the broken toy.

- The hell are
you talking about?

- I literally just told you.

- Not in English.
- Okay.

The broken toy's gonna
keep them busy over here,

while the good toy can go off
and do God knows what.

- I'll just call in sick.
- I would.

So what you're saying is we're
basically framing someone.

- Yes.
- But who?

- Oh, my God,
that is the best part.

Because it's--

.

[muffled rap music]

- There it is.
There it is.

Fast hands.
Fast hands.

Come on.
Jab.

[loud music continues
over speakers]

Keep your chin down.
Jab.

- [sighs]

Son of a gun.

Oh.
That's good.

- My buddy might disagree.

- Now he won't.

- Good, good.
Another hook.

Go again.
Come on, come on.

One more.
All right.

Good work.

[phone ringing]

- Yo, champ.

Cousin.

[rap music continues
over speakers]



Hurry up.
He doesn't seem happy.



- Don't be pissed.

- Can't keep covering
for you, champ.

- Nick.

- This--this is too much.

- For making me look good.

- Played a great round, sir.
- Thanks to you.

- You got your head
in the wrong game.

[car engine turns]

[machine beeps]

[knocking]

- Look familiar?

- Wondered where I left that.
- Yeah.

I was gonna keep it, but--

- It's not your style.

- You look better in it.

- Thank you.

- Um...

do you have a minute?

- I have this coconut milk.

I had a coupon,
so I thought I'd try it.

Or just...

- So what's the deal?
- Plain cream.

- With you and him?

- What do you mean?

[bottles clanking in fridge]

- Well, you're just not his
typical colleague.

- Well, maybe
we're more friends.

- Not his typical friend.

- You don't even know me.

- [exhales]

I just think that you should
be careful.

Hey, anyone who wears
a cardigan shouldn't be

doing what he does.

- What are you, a priest?

- [chuckles]

Just trying to help.

- I'm fine.

- Ah--look.

Tell your neighbors.

And hold on to that.

- You could have just given it
to your brother,

cousin, or whatever.

- Why?

Do you wish it was him?

- No.

- Good.

- Which is it, by the way?
Brother or cousin?

- Family.

And thanks for the coffee.

I kind of like coconut milk.

[door clicks]

[dance music in background]

- [scoffs]
What's this?

- An offer.



- How tall are you?



- 5'2"-ish.

- With or without or heels?

- Uh--
- You ever compete?

- For what?

- Well, she looks
like a gymnast.

You know Gabby Douglas?



Flying Squirrel?
- Yeah.

- Does she work here?
- No.

Uneven bars.
She won.

- Can you touch your toes?

- Yeah.

- How about the splits?

- Okay, we're trying to do
some business here.



- I want to pay off
Stan's debt.



- Mercedes.

Throw this in
the microwave, would you?

- How long?
- Baked potato, 30 seconds.



Looks like a fair amount.

- Twice as much
as he owes you.

- Must really be worth it.

- He's the best.

- The greatest.

- I agree.

- Great.
We have a deal.



- No.

You can't replace the greatest.



- Fine.
What's your number?

- It's not possible.
- Triple?

- Serious flex.

- Like your Flying Squirrel.

- Quadruple?
- Got dolla, dolla bills.

- Where do a bunch of bitches
like you get a bunch of money

like this, though?
Huh?

- Oh, now you've got
a moral code?

- I just don't do business
with bitches.

That's all.

I'll take it upstairs,
baby doll.

Auditions are Sunday.



- That guy's a giant turd.

What?
- Nothing.

I just have never heard you say
the word "turd" before.

- Well, he is.

- Way more than that.
- He's a giant piece of--

- Do you think he knew
the money was fake?

- That turd just gets off
on keeping a good man down.

- Okay.

So we break into his car

and we load up the trunk.

- How's that get it
in the club?

- Well, he parks it
right outside, in his spot.

- Then Rizzoli and Isles
know it's a setup,

because of lojack or whatever.

- Ladies.

- What if we just mailed a box
of fake dough to the club?

- Ladies?
- No, because then we're gonna

get busted for mail fraud
on top of everything else.

- Ladies!

Occam's razor.

- What?

- The problem-solving principle
that says that entities

should not multiplied
without necessity?

Come on.

- She gets her GED, and now
she's Stephen Hawking?

- Sometimes the simplest way

is the right way.

[upbeat music]



- [singing in French]







[rapid whispering in French]



[mid-tempo club music]



- What is going on here?



- Eggs and legs.

- Carving station's legit.



- You said you wanted to know
where it goes.

- Where what goes?

[whirring]

[cheering]



- It's not enough to sell a DA.

- Mm.

Can we grab another
round of mimosas?

- Can I have some change?

Thank you.

Is that enough?



- [sighs]



.

- Mr. Varna needs help
with his clubs.

- You want to handle it
from the trunk.

That way, you don't
disturb this right here.

This is called a root ball.

- Tree's got a sack.

- Fine, yes, it's a sack,

which is why you should
protect it more.

Okay?
- What do you use for backfill?

- Peat moss.

- Hmm.

- Hey, we're open
to suggestions.

- I mean, I like
bone meal, personally.

- That sounds nasty.

- Makes them grow.

- Like, human bones?

- You should see my tulips.

- Damn.

- Ohh.

You do know that these
are at-risk kids, right?

- Yeah, amazing.

- Yeah, but you just sent him
on a murder spree

in the name of gardening,
so...

- But the city's
gonna look great, so...

- [laughs]
Okay.

I--I didn't think you'd come.

- I didn't think councilmen
actually did anything.

- Oh, we try not to.

No, this is more
of a campaign promise.

You know how that goes.

- What's your brother think?

- Cousin.

- Whatever.

- I'm not him.

It's just a choice, right?

- Not always.

- Why are you here, Elizabeth?

- I just want to plant a tree.

- Now you're stuck here.

- Yo, Councilman!

- Coming.

- Hi.

Thank you.
- Sure.

- Ready when you are.

- I don't even know
why I'm here.

- Is it Bring a Total Stranger
to Work Day?

- Next week.

- Then you must have broken
the law.

- That's cute.

- How'd it start?

- Huh?

What's this?
- It's not money.

- Don't know anything
about that, my friend.

- Oh, really?
'Cause your club's

got more of it
than toilet paper.

- It's n--

it's not my club.

- It's his, right?

- That's why he should
be here and not you.

- He's not a bad guy.

- What kind of guy is he?

[guitar music]

- Liquor.

Cigarettes.

Whatever the kids would buy.

Then we got into gift cards.

Applebee's, Chili's, Michael's,
Bed Bath & Beyond.

Man, we hit a Triple-B
so hard once,

they had to stop
giving out all those coupons.



Then his doctor bills
kept coming in and coming in.

Heart medications.
All these boner pills.

And that's--that's when
we started knocking off

the pharmacies.

You know, xanny bars, those
patches with the fentanyl?



Yeah.

[crying]

Nursing homes ain't cheap.

And that man treated me
like his own grandson.

[crying]

If it wasn't for him,
I'd still be in Philly

selling fireworks
out of my damn trunk.

[crying]

Did I dabble in hillbilly
heroin, and some other things?

Oh, yeah.

Guilty as charged.

[crying]

- You haven't been charged.

- Then lock me up.

- Actually, for anything
you confessed.

- [sniffs]

That's why this
country's great.

People care about people.



[crying]



Who the hell is that?

- Wedding?

- Bris.

- Mm, quite a turnout.

- It's apparently
quite a penis.

- Thanks for getting us
that guy, by the way.

- Oh, yeah.
Anything good?

- Oh, my God.
Tons.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Confessed to pretty
much every crime.

- Wow.
- Except for anything

having to do
with your gang buddy.

- Well, those guys
all protect each other.

- This guy pretty much gave up
everyone he's ever worked with.

- Well...

he's lying.

- Remember after boot camp,

when I asked you
to get a juice?

- Mm-hmm.
- And you said you had

to pick up the kids?

- Right.

- Did you really have to?

- You want to get a juice?
Let's go get a damn juice.

- They're rounding you
all up tomorrow.

- It's not over yet.

- Dave wants to go home.

- What do you want?

- Just pick a side.

[crickets chirping]

[car engine approaches]

- [chuckles]

Look who got her head
in the game.

- I didn't do it for you.

- Aww.
That hurts.

Hmm.

Be for real with me.
Who's more fun?

- It's all there.

- Me?
Or your van people?

- What do you think?

[police siren in distance]

[dramatic music]

[police sirens blaring]

- That's a wrap.





.

- Hey, I'm not
gonna make weight.

- You got me this new stove.

I gotta try all the burners.

- Don't make me regret it.
- The old one worked fine.

- Yeah, if you didn't need
to use the oven.

[chuckles]
- Taste that.

- All right, it's going back.
- [gasps]

Don't you--don't you dare.
- [laughs]

[police scanner chatter]

- That's him.

[muffled chatter]

- Come on, man.
- Ten years.

- Dude, if this is a bar,

I'd card you.
- Stop.

- You want to lock it in
with R-Cubed.

- Uh-huh.
- Rejuvenate, refresh, rewind.

- Hey, baby.

- Buzzkill.
- Beth?

- You look so young, she
probably didn't recognize you.

- Right.
- Come here.

- Excuse me, boys.

They're leaving soon,
I promise.

Ride got a late start, 'cause
Vance was at some conference.

Is that--

is that okay?

- We got him.

- Him him?

[exhales]

- I call dibs.
- You can't do that.

- Just did.
- Well, then I call rank.

- I got a better angle on him.
- What's that?

- These.
- [laughs]

Means nothing.
- To that guy?

- It'll get you about
as much as this.

- I think he's more
into these than that.

- Trust me.
You never know.

- Okay, rock-paper-scissors.
- Fine.

- Still using these.
- Sure.

If you can find 'em.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Private meeting.
No one's allowed in.

- We are.
- 'Cause of this.

- Under orders.
- So are we.

- Mine are from above.
- Ours are above your above.

- Uh, you can't--
you can't go in.

You--

- Where is he?

- He walked.

- What?
- That's impossible.

- DA didn't charge him.

Guess there's someone
above all of us.

[mid-tempo music]



- You owe me.
- Add it to the list.



So, what do we do about her?

- Well, not what
you want to do.

- Don't see any other way.

- That's why you got
me, brother.

- Cousin.
- [laughs]

Right.
- Right.

- You hungry?

[car engine turns]



Put on your seatbelt.

.

- [blows]

What you know about mail fraud?

- It's bad.
- Mm-hmm.

Get you five years bad.
How about tax evasion?

- Real bad.
- 10 to 20.

What about inappropriate
behavior with an exotic animal?

Swear to God,
something with a hedgehog.

- Why are you asking me this?

- 'Cause you add all that up,

that's how long Gene
is out of our lives.

- Ding, dong.

- You know what this means?

- Yeah.
The witch is dead.

That's why I said,
"Ding, dong."

- We're free, baby.

- How's it feel, boo?

- [sighs]

I feel like the luckiest
sonofabitch alive.

What?

- The hedgehog
might have you beat.

- Yeah.

Not alive anymore.

- Left or right?

- Left.

- What?
- I'm sorry.

Right?
I mean right.

- It's the right side.
It has way less lines.

- You look great.

- It's only 'cause
"The System" works.

And I can do it anywhere.

Like, I could do it in Nevada.

- How much does all this cost?

- I mean, you--

I think you have to think
of it as an investment, right?

'Cause we're getting in
at the ground floor,

but who knows where
this thing could go.

- Only up.

- Really?

- Yeah.
Now that you're a part of it.

- Thanks.

Um, all right,
I'm gonna go see Vance.

He wants to go over
the products one more time

before I meet corporate.

- Okay.
- All right.

Obviously the right side.
- Go.

Go.
- I won't be late.

- [screams]
- Shh.

You'll wake the kids.

- I didn't have a choice.

- Yeah, you did.

- No, they were gonna--
- You just didn't choose me.

- Please don't hurt my kids.

- I ain't gonna hurt nobody.

- But I turned you in.

[soft dramatic music]



- Got you something.

- New gig?

- Promotion.

- More like reward.

- [chuckles]

They're all the same.



- Could have had my back.

- I did.

- How?
I'm the one who ended up

doing the six-month stretch,
cousin.

- Brother.

- Got banned from the gym.

- Don't need it.

- Trainer dropped me.
- You don't need that either.

- Oh, yeah?

What do I need?

- Stolen clubs.

Liquor from the bar.

Register at the pro shop.



- Why?

- Now they trust me.

- Now they'll believe
anything you tell them.

We can do whatever we want.



- They'll never see us coming.



[mid-tempo music]
