Good Trouble (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - Episode #3.1 - full transcript

Jerod, You're In My Home.
You have to leave.

I don't wanna
press charges.

It's not a hospital.
It's another jail.

The tenants
turned down our offer.

Some activist told them
that we might build
a mental health jail.

I think I need to move out.

Yeah, I think you do too.

Shame on you!

I violated
a restraining order.

What?

They're taking me to trial.



What about the deal?
They took it off the table.

So these feelings,
we just don't feel them anymore?

We can't.

I have had had times

where I have feelings
for Evan.

You have feelings
for Isabella?

And I'm not sure
I don't want to.

We can't live together anymore.

And I'm not leaving my home.

You can't tell me
that someone who wrote
that song for their son

was a bad father.

I thought maybe
you could turn him

into something beautiful.

Something I could look at
without hurting so much.



I think it's perfect.

I love you,
and I've been told

that I can't trust my feeling,

but I--
I think that's bullshit.

You live here?

Yeah. Just moved in
with my sister today.

Again. Sort of.

I should've told you
that Jamie bought your piece.

I'm sorry.

All's forgiven.

I'm really sorry
about all the things
I said to you.

You weren't a mistake.

I'm assuming things
with Jamie are...

Complicated.

Hey.

So, I was thinking
we could go on our first...

official date tonight.

That could be fun.

Hey, can you do me
a huge favor?

I don't want to see Isabella
before I talk to Raj.

Can you grab
my wide-leg black jeans?

My green top.

Not the one
with the snow leopard on it.

The one with
the snake skin pattern.
Snake skin?

And my cork heels.

Oh!

Hey.

What are you doing?

Oh, uh, just borrowing
some clothes from Mariana.

Shh. Don't tell her.

You know me,
I'm a snake skin girl.

I'm guessing she told you
that Raj has feelings for me?

Which is not my fault,
but she's blaming me,

and now she just wants
to kick me out.

I would never do
anything to hurt her.

I swear. You just--
You have to believe me.

So there's a hearing tomorrow,

just like
a routine pretrial motion.

The BLM lawyer says it's nothing
to be concerned about.

This is the same one that said
the DA would back down

if you didn't take the deal?

Okay. That was my decision,
and they've got my back.

Who has their back though?

No, I-- I'm asking
because, unfortunately,
the powers that be,

they don't really like BLM.

And your association
with them

is the reason why
they're cracking down
so hard on you.

What I did,
confronting Judge Wilson
in his office,

that had nothing
to do with BLM.

Yeah, violating
the restraining order did.

They never would have let me
participate in that protest

if I had told them
about that.

This is happening
because of my actions.

And still they've got
their people fighting
to get my charges dropped.

They're doing
all of that for me.

Look, I'm just grateful
they've got my back at all.

This shit is real, Malika.

I have a right
to be worried about you.

I know, but I'm okay.
Seriously.

I'm canceling my trip.

No, you can't.
It's business.

What if you need me?
If I do, I can call you.

But it's all good.
You have nothing to worry about.

Okay.

So, what if
Isabella's confession

wasn't about your boyfriend?

What do you mean?

Mariana thinks
that I led Raj on,

so that he would fall for me,

but I would never ever
do that again.

Again?

I, uh...

I slept with
my last roommate's boyfriend.

But it was a terrible mistake,

and I would never ever
betray a friend like that again.

I swear.

So maybe the confession
that Davia read at Trap Heals
wasn't about Raj?

Or maybe she sleeps with all
of her roommates' boyfriends.

How can we trust
anything that she says?

I mean,
don't you trust Raj?

Having feelings for Isabella
is one thing,

but do you really think
he'd cheat on you?

Everything all right?

Mariana?

Mariana?

Wha-- What?

Do you have
anything to report?

Uh, no.

Actually there's been
a 20% surge
in ACT-ivism downloads,

largely due to our reach-out
to Black Lives Matter

and Dignity and Power Now.

And other activist
organizations...

Oh, hello there.
Are you Teresa?

Uh, no.
I'm Callie.

Ah! I had a Maltipoo
named Callie.

Sweet pup.
Pissed all over my silk rugs.
Cost me a fortune.

Uh, I can find someone
to help you with your case.

Oh, I'm not a client.
I'm the new tenant.

Oh, um...

Well, I'm sure Teresa
will be--

You know, the colors
are a bit drab.

I think we're gonna
need to repaint.

I'll get swatches.

What about the furniture?

It looks sad,
but should we ask for anything?

Uh... Probably not.

We're moving?

Into the new
Legal Aid building downtown.

Budgetary issue.

Which means
we have to do the packing.

What's her story?

Oh, well, that's Kathleen Gale.

She's a very successful
criminal defense attorney

who split from her big firm

and is now opening a small
non-profit defense shop here,

along with a few
of her junior associates.

You got all that
off her Wikipedia page?

No. I got it from the cute one
with the glasses and the hair,

along with his phone number.

Callie, can I have a minute?
Yeah.

Close the door, please.

So we're moving?
Yeah.

Sorry for the no notice.

We haven't had a chance to talk
since you took the bar exam.

How'd you do?
Good, I think.

I haven't gotten
my results back yet, so...

I'm sure you passed.

Have you heard?
The South Solano tenants
turned down the vouchers.

They're gonna fight
to stay in their homes.

Yes, I heard that.

Someone tipped off
the community activists.

How are things at home?

Uh, I moved back in
with my sister.

Well, I'd like you
to rejoin the case.

As co-counsel.

Co-counsel?

Yeah, you brought
the case in.

I could really
use your help.

Assuming there's no longer
a personal conflict of interest.

Uh, to be honest,
I'm not completely sure.

Well, let me know
when you are.

Yeah, I will.
Thank you.

Hello?
Is this Callie Adams-Foster?

Yes. Who's this?

I'm calling
from the Assistant
District Attorney's office.

We'd like to speak with you
regarding the recent
breaking and entering incident

that occurred in your apartmet
involving Jerod Murphy--

Yeah, I told the police
I don't want to press charges.

Not as the complainant,
as the witness.

Someone else
is pressing charges.

Who?

Jamie!

Is it true?

You're pressing charges
against Jerod?

Yes,
I'm pressing charges.

We agreed not to.

No, no, no.
We didn't agree
to anything.

So, what is this?

Is this you
getting back at me?

Callie,
if that was the case,

I could just press charges
against you

for stealing
privileged documents
from my briefcase.

So why are you
doing this then?

Jerod moved back here
and started acting
erratically again.

He could've wandered
into somebody else's apartment
and hurt someone

or got himself shot
by some idiot with a gun.

I was doing it
to protect him.

Oh, you really think
he's safer in jail?

Yes, I do.
And as much
as I would love

to replay this track from
our Greatest Fights album,

I have a meeting to get to.

This is so good.
Hmm.

I still can't believe
you've never had raspados .

Whoever thought
of combining a snow cone
with fruit and sweet milk
is a genius.

It's the simple things
in life, you know?

So, how long have you been
interning with DPN?

About five, six months.
You?

A few weeks.

And is this what interns do
when they're supposed
to be out running errands?

It wasn't our fault
the printers weren't ready.

And it really takes two of us
to pick up some posters?

Imani thought maybe
you could stand to get
out of the office, you know?

Get your mind off things.

I mean, why is everyone
so worried about me?
I'm fine.

Okay, good.
Let's keep it that way.

And...

Wanna go first?

Seriously?
Mm-hmm.

I mean,
this was my jam as a kid.

So, you're
in big trouble.

Oh, I already knew
I was in big trouble
from the day I met you.

Is that so?
Yeah.

What you got?

Okay.

Woo!
Mmm!

That heel...
Oh!

Uh, smooth.

Thank you very much.

All right. I got you.
Yeah.

Oh. Oh.

Uh-huh.

Okay. Now you know
what you gotta do.
Okay.

Woo-hoo.

Oh.
Oh.

Okay, nice recovery.

Are you hurt?

Only my pride.
Oh, I'm sorry.

Here, have more of this.
Let me have some of this.

I want to try yours.
Um, no.

Why?
'Cause I don't want
your cooties.

Come on.
What do you mean?

Hey, girl.

Look, I don't know
what Mariana told everyone,

but it's not my fault
if Raj has feelings for me.

Okay.

Is it your fault
you slept with him?

Mariana knows, Isabella.

And considering
what you've done,

I don't think
you have the right
to refuse to move out.

Hey!

These are lit!
Check it out.

Ooh!

Gotta get these up
all over town.

Hey!
Where you going?

What's wrong?
Malika!

Wait. Malika!
Malika, wait.

This is all getting too real.
Okay?

I'm scared.

Okay. Just--
Just breathe.

It's okay.
It's okay to be scared.

Okay? This shit is scary,
but you have a team.

But those prosecutors
have all the power.

Not more power
than the people.

Not when we stand together
and organize.

Can you promise me
I'm not going to jail?

I can promise we all
will do everything in our power

to fight for you
and never give up.

You're not alone.
Trust. We got your back.

Hey.

Look at me, look at me,
look at me. Look.

We got you.

Jerod, what happened to you?

Jerod, do you remember me?

My name is Callie.

Yeah.

You're the nice lady
who always buys me coffee.

Uh... Can you...

Can you tell me how you got
all these bruises on your face?

Walker, you got two minutes.

The guards.

They did this to you?

Yeah.

They wouldn't
give me my meds,

so I said I'm not gonna
leave my cell.

Because they're supposed
to give them to me every day.

That's what
they're supposed to do.
That's what my lawyer said.

Every day, they're supposed
to give me my meds.

That's what
they're supposed to do.

So?

They sprayed some stuff
in my eyes,

and then one of them
just started hitting me.

I-- I couldn't see,

so I just started
swinging my arms

so that they would
get off of me.

And did you hit the guard?

I didn't mean to. It--

I was just trying
to get him off of me.

And-- And they're saying
that I hit him first, but

I didn't. I swear.

No, I believe you,
Jerod.

Um, have you told
your lawyer?

Um, he doesn't care
about me.

He just wants me
to stay in here,

and I don't want
to stay here.

I just want to go home.

I know, Jerod.

And I'm--
I'm really sorry
this happened to you.

Do you mind
if I take some pictures?

Just here...
Just your arm, yeah.

Okay.
You get it? Okay.

Can you be my lawyer?

I can't.

I'm sorry, I--
I haven't passed the bar yet.

I'm sorry I went
into your apartment.
No.

That's okay.

Bye.

Bye.

It's open.

Oh, hey.

Hey, have you seen Dennis?

It's beautiful.

What did Dennis say
when he saw it?

He was...

you know, appreciative
but I could tell
that it was still hard.

I just hope
I didn't make it worse,

you know,
covering up Jacob?

No, he asked you
to do it.

Yeah, I know.

So, I...
I left him alone.

And anyways,
I came down
to check up on him

and he wasn't here.

I tried calling,
but I haven't heard back.

I figured
you might have seen him,

but you're obviously going out.

Oh.

You look nice.
You have a hot date?

Um... no.

But don't worry about it.
I'm sure he's fine.

Dennis, where are you?

I'm worried.

Gael told me
about Jacob's picture.

Please call me back
and let me know
that you're okay.

All of his wounds
are defensive.

Kathleen:
It is terrible

how they treat
mentally ill people in jail.

Ugh.

Do you smoke weed?

What?
I was going
to smoke a joint.

You care to join me?

Oh, um, no, not-- not really.
Um, I get paranoid. So...

Do you drink? 'Cause I've got
a 20-year-old bottle of scotch
around here somewhere.

I... Uh, just socially.
I'm good.

How do you wind down
at the end of the day?

I don't, I guess.

Well, that's gonna
catch up with you.

Heh. Do you mind?

No.

So what do you think?

Uh, it's a loser case.

Juries are always going
to believe the word of a guard
over an inmate.

Okay, what about
suing for excessive force?

That might scare them
into dropping the charges.

No, they'll argue that
the injuries are minor.

What about
Hudson v. McMillian?

Supreme Court ruled
that excessive use
of physical force

could constitute
cruel and unusual punishment

even if an inmate
does not suffer
serious injury.

You used that ruling
when you won
Jackson v. Aquilla.

She does her homework.
Mm-hmm.

How'd you get in
to see your friend?

I said I was his lawyer.

Still, it takes a few days
to see a client.

I may have also said
that I could call
some organizers I know,

get a news crew
down there.

And willing
to stretch the truth.

So why don't you just
represent him yourself?

I can't. We only try
civil cases at Legal Aid.

Hmm.

Aren't you opening this firm
to help people like Jerod?

The plan wasn't to take on
unwinnable cases.

Look, this may be
a loser case,

but it is an important one.

And like you said,
it's terrible how they treat
mentally ill people in prison.

And if Jerod stays in jail,
who knows what else
will happen to him?

You know
what I like about you?

You're idealistic
and yet willing
to get your hands dirty.

Okay. I'll do it.

On one condition.

All right.
Let's get started.

All right, everybody.
We know each other, right?

Davia, right?

Yes.

I'm the one who
steals the creamers.

Sorry about that.

Hmm, you're fine.

Okay, how we all
feeling tonight?

Are you expecting Dennis?

Are you?

No, we haven't seen him
in a while.

Oh, right.

Is everything okay?

Um...

No.
No, not really.

She didn't even leave a note,
and she hasn't answered
any of my texts.

She had sex
with your boyfriend.

What kind of note
do you leave after that?

Yeah, well, Raj has sent me
a million text messages
swearing that they didn't.

You believe him?

I kinda...

don't want to.

Why?

Okay, if I tell you something,
will you promise
not to judge me?

Okay, when have I ever--

Yes, I promise.

Okay. So, after Raj told me

that he had feelings
for Isabella

and then Davia told me

that she read
Isabella's confession

that she had sex with Raj,

I went back to Speckulate,and

I hooked up with Evan.

You're judging me.
I knew it!

No. I'm not. I get it.

I do. I mean...
You ran into
someone else's arms

when you were hurt
and confused.

This would be
so much easier

if Raj had
cheated on me first.

That way, I wouldn't feel
like such a piece of shit.

What do I do?

Well, if you love Raj,

you should tell him the truth,
try to work it out.

Unless you don't want
to work it out.

I don't know what I want.

I do love Raj,but

I also have feelings
for Evan.

And how can I be
in a relationship
with my boss?

I mean, it's not ideal,
but it's not impossible.

What about you and Jamie?

Hmm.

I, uh, saw him
earlier today.

So...

Is it really over?

Jamie, wait.

You never answered
my text.

Callie, what else
is there to talk about?

You made your choice.

It wasn't personal.

We lost the Anwei account,

which means
I'm probably
gonna lose my job.

Why? It wasn't your fault.

So, someone who had access
to privileged information

tipped off the activists
on a case being brought
by Legal Aid,

where my live-in girlfriend
works.

You don't have to go digging
through someone's briefcase
to put that one together.

Yeah, well, they can't prove
that it came from me.

It doesn't matter.
Someone's head has to roll.

Whether you meant it or not,
you ruined me, Callie.

How is that not personal?

I'm sorry.

It's too late.

Like I said,
you made your choice

and there's nothing more
to talk about.

Yeah, it's over.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

How was your flight?

It was good.
How was your day?

It was good.

How do you feel
about your hearing
tomorrow?

Okay.

Just... tired.

Well, get some
good sleep then.

Oh, I will,
without your tall ass
taking up the whole bed.

Maybe it's time
I got a bigger bed.

Or maybe it's time
we got a bigger place.

Get out!
What'd you mean?

I mean, you're not serious.

I'm not playin'.
I'm not.

We really doin' this
over the phone?

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

Goodbye.
Love you.

I love you.

Raj.

Mariana, I didn't have sex
with Isabella. I swear.

I know.

I'm sorry that
I've been avoiding you.
I just needed time to think.

You're my boss,
and every way
that I look at it,

dating you
is just a bad idea.

I know
you wouldn't cheat on me.

But I don't know
that you didn't want to.

And these feelings
that we have for other people
make me feel like...

I don't know, like,
we're questioning whether we
really do want to be together.

As long as we
have those questions...

I don't think that we should be.

But I do know
that these feelings
aren't just gonna go away.

So...

maybe there's a way
to turn a bad idea
into a good one?

Sometimes the worst ideas
can help lead you
to the best ones.

Like soap.

It was very controversial
in ancient Babylonia.

Washing in general
was frowned upon--

Okay, okay.
But no one can know.

Okay.

I really want to kiss you
right now.

I really want you
to kiss me right now.

Okay, well,
just, uh, imagine...

I am.

Hey.

Hey.

Sorry I worried you.

Where are you?

I'm in Malibu Canyon.

Staying at a friend's
who's out of the country.

What happened?
Why did you take off?

I just...

After we woke up,
I went down to my loft,
and Gael was there,

and he just finished
Jacob's mural and...

I guess
I just wasn't prepared
to see him gone.

I thought
it would be a relief
but...

I felt like
I just erased him,

like I was just
forgetting him.

And... I don't...

Like I don't--
I don't know...

Have the right
to be happy?

Grief is not predictable.

We think
we're feeling better,
that we're getting past it even,

and then something
triggers a wave of pain
that completely overwhelms us.

I know that you told him
that we shouldn't
get involved,

that he can't trust
his feelings.

So, maybe he confused
needing me with loving me.

Maybe that's what
he realized in the morning,
and he freaked out.

I-- I guess
this is my fault.

Davia...

you can't fix Dennis.

This is no one's fault.

And I encourage you
to be as kind and empathetic
towards yourself

as you've been toward Dennis.

Okay? Yeah.

I don't know if I can ever
truly be happy again.

Are you gonna
hurt yourself?

No. No, I promise you
I'm not gonna hurt myself.

I can't come back
to the Coterie...

right now, Davia.
I need time.
I need to be alone.

I think I've been trying
to find a way out of this,

when I need to find
a way through it.

You know?
I-- I can't...

be the man
that you deserve
to love you,

until I can do that.

Okay.

Uh, do what you gotta do.

Just promise me
you won't disappear, please.

Let me know how you're doing.

I will.

Okay. Bye.

Your Honor, Judge Wilson
has declined to press charges.

This invalidates
the restraining order that is the sole basis

for the prosecution's case.

Accordingly, the defense
moves to dismiss the criminal complaint

against Ms. Williams.

Your Honor, a valid
restraining order
was in effect

when Ms. Williams
violated it.

We don't need the victim
to file charges

or even testify
in order to prosecute.

Your Honor--
The defense's motion
to dismiss is denied.

Is there anything else?

Yes. On account of
Ms. Williams' association
with Black Lives Matter

and the number
of international chapters,

the people have come
to consider Ms. Williams
a flight risk

and we ask
that bail be revoked

and she be taken
into custody today
to await trial.

They can't do that.
That's crazy.

Hey.

You've got mail.

Took everything in me
not to open it myself.

Yeah. Actually, that's a--
that's a good idea.
Here. I can't.

Oh.

Okay. That's
a lot of pressure.

And the winner is...

The newest member of
the State Bar of California,

Ms. Callie Adams-Foster!
Wait, wait. Seriously I passed?

Yes, you passed!
You passed!

And I knew it.

She passed!
Yay!

Congratulations!
Congrats!

Oh, my God!

I made them hide
just in case.

We need refills!

Go with the bubbly fills.

Sorry, we started
drinking already.

Uh-huh. It's fine.

Hook it up!
Thank you, guys.

This is the fancy stuff.

To Callie,

my brilliant
and beautiful sister.

Congratulations!
Thank you!

Congrats, Callie.
Cheers!

Oh, um, and I guess
we have something else
to toast.

What?

Okay. I'll do it.

On one condition.

You quit Legal Aid
and come work for me.

Uh, I have a new job.

I'm gonna be working
for this small non-profit
criminal defense firm,

run by this kind of
well-known attorney,
Kathleen Gale.

Wow!

So you're gonna be
like Elle Woods?

What? Like it's hard?

That's funny.
Nice.

Well, to Callie,

who better to have
defending you?

Preach.

When you said
you totally understand

running into
someone else's arms...

did you... with Gael?

No. Of course not.

You okay?

Yeah.

Where's Dennis?

He went out of town.
Staying with a friend.

Oh, wait!

We're also celebrating
Callie moving back
into our loft.

Yes.
Yay!

Wait, what about Isabella?

Oh, uh... She moved out.

Hi.

Hey.

I got this mescal
in Oaxaca,

and I've been saving it
for a special occasion.

And what's the occasion?

I'm lonely.

I don't think
this is a good idea.

I'm lonely. You're lonely.
We're both single.

What do we have to lose?

Well, that was sudden.

Did she say why?

Oh, uh... No.

I just came home,
she was gone.

She didn't leave a note,
and she's not responding
to any of my texts.

I hope she's okay.

She's a survivor.
I wouldn't worry
about that one.

You know what I just realized?
We haven't had
a family dinner in a while.

You up to keep
the party going?

Yeah.
I am.

Let's do it.
Wanna cook?

No.

Uh, what about
that vegan place
that Malika loves?

Hmm, yeah.
Oooh.

Where is Malika?

Justine: Your Honor,
the prosecution's request
is outrageous.

This whole case
is an abuse of power

motivated by powerful
elected officials determined
to criminalize Black protest.

Counselor, that's enough.

I'm not going
to revoke bail.

However, considering
Ms. Williams is a member

of an organization
with international reach,

I am going to raise bail

to $250,000.

And until which time
that bail can be paid,

I am remanding
Ms. Williams into custody.

Bailiff...

This is Capoeira.

It was brought to Brazil
by enslaved people
from West Africa.

It's not only
about self-defense

but about cultural identity.

There are two main objectives
in Capoeira.

One is your ginga,

the ability to stay
in constant movement

so that you can make yourself
into a very difficult target.

The next is malícia,

the ability to fake out
your opponent,

opening them up to the attack,

or the counter-attack.

I wanted to share this
with you before court today

because this practice
helps me feel strong
and resilient

and prepared
for any surprise attack,

knowing that
I can defend myself,
physically and spiritually,

against any form
of oppression or harm.

And I thought
it might give you the same.

It's okay.
