Good Trouble (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 13 - A Penny with a Hole in It - full transcript

Lucia's always
playing games.

I wish you could be
less hung up on Lucia

and more supportive of me.

I'm gonna sleep
at my place tonight.

I need some space.

I think I
have just the location

- for the women's center.
- Great! Where?

3rd and Temple.

The city posted
these sweep notices.

It's, uh, the lot
on 3rd and Temple.

Crowd chanting -
"Stop the sweeps"



Why not let me
be your manager?

Let's get you paid.

Thank you,
Santa Clarita!

How are you?

I'm working and living
on a farm,

and I've never been
more at peace.

I mean, if
she's so happy where she is,

then why is this guy
watching her?

Plates from the van she got in
are registered to this address.

My son Adam has the van.

Adam Miller?

Adam is my brother.

If your sister's with him,

she's in danger.



How do you know Zelda Grant?

She's a brand influencer.

With, like,
four million followers.

I heard about
another female-led start-up

doing something
really similar to BB.

If you're interested,
I could put in a word.

So we had an idea.

It's a new feature for the app

called "Counter Pro."

Gael gets 50%
of everything that you make.

Or I could tell everyone
that Yuri Elwin

is a fraud.

Your baby mama
came to visit yesterday.

You're fired.

What did you do?

I'm really so sorry.

I can't right now.

I'm coming.

Oh!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Hi! Um, good... good morning.

I'm Alice.

Uh, and I've been asked
to facilitate

your sexual harassment
training.

"What is sexual harassment?"

Talk about a touchy subject.

Can't really put
your finger on it,

but if you do,

make sure
it's in the right spot.

I'm kidding.

Sexual harassment
is no joking matter,

which is why we're all here
at 7:00 a.m.,

bright and early.
This blows.

It's a bad choice of words.

Okay, um...

Consent!

All of you consented to be here
against your will.

Am I right?

Do you feel harassed?

What about now?

I'm just kidding.

"Melissa, nice necklace."

That's appropriate.

"Melissa,
I love the way your necklace

"plunges down your neckline

and accentuates
your ripe melons."

That's inappropriate.

Hey! Where are you going?

I... I still have the section,

"When it's okay
to date your co-worker."

Can you? Is that allowed?

No! There's 47 more pages.

We're getting through...
I... I'll be...

I'm... Give me a break!
I'm a comedian, people!

Come on!

I'm trying my best!
Look at me...

♪ Pa-pa-paa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

♪ Pa-pa-paa, pa-pa-pa-pa

♪ Then we'll find
our peace of mind ♪

♪ You and me, Bel Ami

♪ Pa-pa-pa, pa-paaa

Gael. Gael!

Gael, stop. I'm so sorry.
I was just trying to help.

Gael! Please!
Wait, I'm sorry!

Isabella,
I don't have a job now!

What are we gonna do?

How am I gonna
take care of our baby?

How am I gonna make
that kinda money?

I'm so sorry. Stop!

Please! I'm so sorry.
Please just don't leave me.

Just don't leave.
I'm so sorry.

- Please don't leave.
- Okay. Okay.

Hey, it's okay.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

Good morning.

Morning.

I'm gonna
get us some coffee.

Okay, I'm not doing
any more online seminars

or pet adoptions!

A month ago,
I was opening for Margaret Cho!

What happened to me?

Nothing!
You are on your way!

And I just landed
you a gig on stage

- at a very hot...
- Club?

Coffee shop!
It's very popular.

So, uh, a gig where people
are there for lattes, not laughter!

- Come on!
- Well, I think...

Derek?

Wha... De...
Derek has a sitcom?

Oh, yay, Derek!

"Yay, Derek"?

"Oh, yay,
Derek." Wh-What?

I was the one they were supposed
to give the comedy deal to.

This is supposed to be me!

He tried to sabotage us!

No, I had to do
the right thing.

I had to be Miss Big Person!

Now, look at him!

I was supposed
to be Hiss & Hers!

- This is my life!
- Okay, Alice.

Breathe.
Take a deep breath!

And listen.

Okay, everyone has
their own path to success.

We have a strategy.
Okay?

So run your own race.

And meanwhile, try to find joy
in the wins of your friends.

Yay, Derek!

Alice!

The launch of
Bulk Beauty was very successful

and created an initial influx
of subscribers and profits.

But now, our numbers
are starting to plateau.

What we need is something new
to get people talking up the app.

Like what?

What if we partner
with a brand influencer

that can help
promote Bulk Beauty?

Who?

Zelda Grant has
over 10 million followers.

We already know her.

And if she can drive

a ton of new customers
to our app...

How much...

...would a deal with Zelda cost?

I've been doing
some research,

and we're talking
in the ballpark of

$100,000.

$100,000?

I don't know about spending
that kind of money.

I thought our first priority
was to buy Evan out.

It is!
But Evan isn't in any hurry.

He hasn't even asked
for a return on his investment.

So why not
take advantage of this

and reinvest
in ourselves?

And who knows,
if Zelda increases sales,

we might have more revenue
to buy Evan out even sooner.

Exactly!

That makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, but wouldn't we still have
to get Evan's approval?

I like it.

But it's your company.
Your call.

Great! Um,
next step is to ask Zelda.

I'm not interested.

Uh, is there a reason
that you're not interested?

Well, I believe women should
be supportive of one another.

And Mariana,

I don't trust you.

Me? Why?

Because you ripped off

Raisa and Ava's
Counter Pro idea.

Well, they were compensated
for that in the buyout.

No, actually, they weren't.

And now they have no app
and no jobs.

And I feel responsible

for introducing you to them
in the first place.

And that's why
I'm not interested.

I can't believe they got
nothing for their idea.

Looks like Jackie
ripped them off too.

Maybe... we should
compensate them ourselves.

No, no, no.
Absolutely not.

We invited them to join us!

And they chose
to stay with Jackie.

Even when they knew
she stole our idea.

I know you like them,

but we don't
owe them anything.

Neither do you.

My friend confirmed what
Adam Miller's brother told us.

He did a few years in prison
for assault and battery,

drugs, grand larceny.

And we're sure
that this is the guy

that was watching you and
Jenna in the coffee shop?

I mean, he drove away with
her afterwards in his mom's van.

It's gotta be him.

Okay, well, did your friend
get an address?

No.

But I'm assuming
it's wherever this farm is

that Jenna's working on.

So I'm gonna go back
to the farmer's market,

try to see if I can find the
van and just wait for them.

And then what?

Try to talk
to Jenna again.

Maybe she doesn't realize
how bad this guy is.

Whatever
you do, just make sure

that you talk to Jenna
in public.

Especially if this guy
is dangerous.

Don't worry. I will.

Do you have a moment?

Sure.

That vacant lot you chose
for the women's center

is occupied
by an unhoused encampment.

I'm concerned it might appear

like we're using the women's
center for political cover

just so we can clear
those people out.

We're not clearing them out
to build a Target.

We're building housing.

And we'll relocate them
to shelters.

Temporary shelters
with conditions and curfews.

We need to offer them
permanent housing.

Where?

If you don't like the way
we're doing things,

feel free to present me
with a better idea.

Or we can forget about trying to
improve lives and offer services

with the women's center.

You're gonna need
to learn, Malika,

that there are
no perfect solutions

to the problems we face.

Hey.

Did you ever hear about that group
of unhoused people in Philadelphia

and the team of organizers
who got the city

to buy a few
empty apartment buildings

for them to move into
and control?

No.

But the same idea was
floated around here a while ago.

City even got a big-time commercial
real estate mogul on board.

Wh... What happened?

Same thing that always happens

when there's talks
of spending millions of dollars

to actually house the unhoused.

It fell apart.

Wh... What was this
real estate mogul's name?

Maybe we can get a meeting.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait!
What is this "we" business?

Well, I can't do this alone.
I need your help.

I don't know.

Come on, please!

That's...
It's my religion.

Please, please.
Come on, girl.

- You look so beautiful.
- Thank you.

And I'm glad we went
with the bigger dress.

Yeah.

That girl is making
herself known.

Hmm. In more ways than one.

She's kicking right now.

Can I feel?

Of course! Here.

Wow.

Thank you.

For including me
in the wedding.

Of course!
You're family now.

Aw.

And I can't wait
to be TiaJaz

and spoil my little niece
to pieces.

I'm not sure if I'm
supposed to know this,

but Gael told me the two of
you are together as a couple.

And I am so happy
for you.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Nothing, um, it's probably
just baby hormones or something.

Is everything okay
with you two?

I think I made
a terrible mistake.

Why do you keep
checking your phone?

Oh, um,
just hoping for a text.

I had
a fight with Angelica.

So why don't you
just text her?

Because even though
she was kinda right,

she was also kinda wrong!

So... I think
the ball's in her court.

Hmm. Solid reasoning
with a dash of pettiness.

I approve.

Okay!

I think that's him.

Yep,
that's him. Let's go!

Mr. Rexford... hi.

Um, we're from City
Councilwoman Lucia Morales' office.

Can we have
a word with you

to discuss
reviving the purchase

of apartment buildings you own
for the unhoused?

Look, I've been
down that road already,

and the city dropped the ball.

This is why government solutions
to real problems always fail.

Not always. Public funds have
been used to do great things

like social security
and Medicare.

So, surely we can help
fund a housing program.

Especially since we have

over 90,000 vacant homes
and apartments in LA

just sitting empty.

Some of which belong to you.

The city's
in bed with people like me.

And most of 'em don't give a
hoot about the unhoused crisis

as long as they're making money
building luxury homes and apartments.

I tried to offer the city

a chance to buy
apartment buildings

to minimum profit for me...
for permanent housing.

But they're penny wise
and pound foolish.

So they keep investing millions
on temporary shelters

and... and services
with no long-term solutions.

Without the political will to
really change, it's impossible.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Nothing is impossible
if you refuse to give up!

Look at you!

This is what happens
when I get involved!

I start to care! And that
is a horrible way to live.

Oh, no. Don't go there.
I need you.

Fine. We are gonna live
to regret it.

I do think we have an in
with the son.

- Oh.
- He was impressed by you.

The son?

Yeah, the guy with Rexford
is his son.

Maybe he can
convince his dad.

Huh.

Maybe.

Go call Silas.

Hey.

I'm looking
for Adam Miller.

You found him.

- You're Adam Miller?
- Yeah.

Can I help you
with something?

Uh, yeah, no, I just came
to see my sister, Jenna.

Uh, Jenna isn't here
at the moment.

I'm Silas.

Welcome to our farm.

You met, uh,
you met Adam.

And, uh, this is Tamara
and Holly.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Jenna's up
in Bakersfield today,

delivering honey
to our vendors.

Sorry you missed her.

I'm afraid that she
won't be back until late tonight.

Uh, since you're here,
why don't I show you around?

This land has been neglected
for years.

But it was ripe with potential,

so we turned it
into a working farm again.

- Beautiful day, Silas.
- Yes, it is.

Tomatoes look lovely,
Wendy.

Thank you, Silas.
The Earth has blessed us.

So all these women
work for you?

Not for me, for the farm.

Most of our income comes from
harvesting the honey from our bees.

- Bees?
- Bees.

Yeah, bees are powerful symbols
of love and dedication

to a cause that's
greater than oneself.

And we strive
to emulate that here.

We call this place
"The Colony,"

and our honey
"Great Radiance."

So you all, like,
live here together too?

Yes.

Yeah, we find it easier
to be in harmony

with both our work and our
spiritual alignment on the farm.

Living off the grid
as much as possible.

I hear that.

So what's his story?

Oh. Yeah,
like many of us here,

Adam, he's had
a difficult past,

uh, anger issues.

But he's... he's paid
his debt to society.

Everyone here
has some trauma

that they're trying
to leave behind.

And like all of us,
he deserves a second chance.

So you all practice,
like, some kind of religion?

The Earth
is our only God.

Transcendence and healing
is what we're all about.

Consciousness.

I have a doctorate
in psychology,

talk therapy can
only take you so far.

You know, I recognize you
from... from the cafe

where, remember,
I met with my sister?

Why didn't you just
introduce yourself then?

Well, Jenna asked me
to come for moral support,

but she did not want me
to interfere.

Family affairs
are not my business.

That right?

Jenna has been
very clear with you

that she does not want
any contact with her family

or her painful past.

I think she'd be pretty upset
that you came.

Is there some reason that
you're finding it difficult

to respect her wishes?

Because I assure you, she is
perfectly safe and happy here.

You know, I... You're right.
I should respect her wishes.

I just... I miss her, man.
You know?

But, I mean, this does seem
like a... like a safe place.

I'm glad you feel that way.

Could you do me
a big favor, actually?

Could you just not tell her
I showed up?

Normally, uh,
I don't keep secrets.

But... since this will
only hurt Jenna,

I won't say a word.

Thank you, man.

Thank you.

Really nice to meet you.

You as well.

I wish you
peace and blessings.

Thought I might find you here.

I can't believe this is where
I'm getting married.

- Mm-hmm.
- So beautiful.

Thanks for making this happen.

Ah, it's gonna be amazing.

And it was really nice of you to
invite everyone from The Coterie.

Oh, your friends are my friends.

So how did, uh,
the fitting with Isabella go?

Good.

Um, she...

told me what happened
with your boss.

Did she tell you
that she got me fired?

Yes.

And she's afraid
you'll never forgive her.

Jaz, she crossed the line.

She saw you were being
taken advantage of,

and she was
just looking out for you.

Look, she had no business
talking to you about this.

She's family,
and she loves you.

Try not to be so hard on her.

Isabella was only
doing for you

what she thought you
maybe couldn't do for yourself.

I have to go.
But... I love you.

Abrazos.

Me too.

All right,
get outta here.

What's up, everybody? L.B.
Brady here to let you know

that I am making my stand-up
debut onKimmel tonight.

I crushed it!

Hola, me gente!

I just booked
a national commercial.

What's up, y'all?

This is the pilot script

of my brand-new,
soon-to-be-hit sitcom,

Hiss and Hers!
Snake it or Break it.

I absolutely
crushed it.

I cannot wait
for you to see it.

So tune in tonight!

You are looking
at the new face

of Charge Card.

- I just want to thank all my fans...
- Seriously?

...for all the love
and support

y'all have been
showing me on Instagram.

- How do you Charge?
- It means the world.

Man, everything's
coming up L.B. these days!

- Good things really do happen to good people.
- Bop!

So I'm not sure if you're
taking new clients right now,

but I just went on tour
with Margaret Cho,

and I just sent you my reel.

So... cool.

Um, thank you. Love you.

Not love you, but...
Okay, I'm hanging up now.

How much of that
did you hear?

Pretty much all of it.

- Yikes!
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I thought
Sumi was your manager?

Yeah. I mean, she is,

but... reality check,
the woman is a dental hygienist.

She doesn't have experience.

And I want a sitcom.
You know?

I want a national commercial.
Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Wait, I saw that L.B.
booked that. Good for them!

Yeah, uh, for them.
I'm very happy.

Okay.

I get your concerns.

But Sumi had no experience

when she stepped in
as Coterie manager.

And she did a great job!

Why don't you
give her a chance?

And no other manager
will care about you

as much as she does, so.

- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm. Love you.

Can you get that one?
Okay.

Oh, it's a good job
we did today.

Jackie was supposed to
compensate you for Counter Pro,

but because she didn't,
I want you to have this.

This is a mere fraction
of what Counter Pro is worth.

Yeah, I... I know
it's not a lot,

but it's my own
personal money,

and it's all I have.

And the truth is,
you should've came to BB.

The truth is,

you tried to sabotage us
at Revitalize,

and pretended
to be our friend!

Okay... Yeah,
I... I did do that.

And I'm sorry.

But I was your friend.

You decided
to stay with Jackie.

We didn't have
much of a choice.

You always have a choice.

Easy for you to say.

Not all of us
have a rich boyfriend

who can buy up the
competition and bail us out.

And to think we felt sorry for
you having to work for Evan Speck.

When in reality,
you were sleeping with him.

Well, if you don't want
the money...

- We'll take it.
- We'll take it.

I suppose
it's better than nothing.

Which is what we got
from Jackie.

Don't think this gives you
license to sleep better at night.

Once we finalize
the source code,

we can start testing
the beta site.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

I rented another pod here
for an app I'm developing.

Oh, so you're just gonna
be here all the time now?

Not all the time,

but I thought
because BB was here

that I could knock out two...

Why did you buy Revitalize?

Why did you bail us out?

Eh... Don't say it's because
it was a good investment.

Because if that's the case, then why
don't you care when we buy you out?

Eh... Don't say...

it's because you want me
to have whatever I want.

Because that sounds like
you did all of this for me.

And it doesn't sound like
you moving on, or forward.

If you don't want me
to rent another pod...

I... I didn't say that.

Or, um, you're seeing
too much of me.

I didn't say that!

Then... what
are you saying?

I'm saying, if this is
a professional arrangement...

No... Because this is
a professional arrangement,

I need you to treat me,
and us, and BB

strictly professionally,
like you said.

I don't want anyone
under the impression

that you did all of this for me
because you're my boyfriend.

Ex-boyfriend.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

It's been a while.

Trust me, Xavier was
holding a coffee cup

from this coffee shop
yesterday.

If he's a creature of habit,

this is how we happen
to run into him again.

Yeah, and end up
being late to work.

Do you want my help or not?

Sorry.

Ah-ha! Here he is.

Go get him.

Me? Wh...
You're not coming?

No... He likes you.
Three's a crowd.

Go!

Hey. Uh, yeah,
can I get an America no?

Sorry.
I need a new alarm tone.

Definitely not this one!

Tap his shoulder.

Hey, wasn't that you
yesterday with Gene Rexford?

You're
the city council staffer.

That's me.

Uh, you...
You can go ahead.

- If you don't mind...
- No, please.

Um, how long have you
worked with Mr. Rexford?

Uh, I worked with my dad
for about five years.

- Oh, he's your dad!
- Yeah. Yeah.

I... I remember when that
city council deal fell through.

I was disappointed, but they
kept pumping their brakes, so...

They may be a lot less
hesitant today, you know?

With the unhoused situation
so much worse.

I don't know.

My dad, once he walks away
from a deal,

he's not the type of guy
to walk back.

Unless you
convince him otherwise.

He needs to see how
desperate the situation is.

It's up to our generation

to do what
the older generation won't.

Okay, I'll talk to him,

but can I get
my coffee fix first?

Of course. Sure.

Sorry about that. Um...

I sent everyone a list of other
beauty influencers we could go to.

Oh, I love
Cassandra Woodfine.

I wish my eyebrows
were that fierce.

How about Sunny Yoon?

Ah, co-sign!
She's so fun and relatable.

I've been rethinking this.

I... I think that our priority
should be paying Evan back

as soon as we can.

I don't want people to think

that we're taking advantage
in any way

because of our previous
relationship with Evan.

Hey.

So... I spoke
with Raisa and Ava.

And...

I respect that you tried
to make things right.

I also really love your app.

So if the offer still stands
to be your brand influencer,

I'd like to accept.

Yes!

- Yeah, the offer stands.
- Tall.

Great!

Well, my manager
will be in touch

to iron out all the details.

I'm really excited
to start working together.

Us too!

- What just happened?
- Zelda's back!

Well, in light
of the great news,

I guess we can delay paying
Evan back for a little bit.

- Yay!
- Yay!

Uh, what did you do
for Raisa and Ava?

I, uh, gave them $10,000
of my own money

to compensate
for Counter Pro.

I didn't realize how
strongly you felt about this.

I think we should all chip in.

I agree.

We... We're a team,

and we're all
in this together.

And now we have Zelda!

Yeah, we do.

Hello.

After speaking with Mariana,

I think it would be
more professional moving forward

if we work out some sort of
quarterly return on my investment.

Say 20% of the profits.
Does that sound fair?

Uh, yeah, I guess so.

- Yeah.
- Sure.

Good.

So what did you say to Evan?

Remember, we're all
in this together?

So I've been trying
to be less passive-aggressive,

which is hard.

My ex texted me to see
if I changed the password

to the Hulu account
we used to share.

Instead of responding that it's
time she gets her own account,

I told her the password,

which is "437, I hate you,

"335, Stop being cheap,

886,
I'm better at sex than you."

Yeah, turns out there's unlimited
characters for passwords.

Didn't bring
your guard dog with you?

Shame.
She's a feisty one!

Listen, I'll be outta here
in, like, two minutes.

If you could just try to keep
your mouth shut till then...

Looks like someone found
a bark of their own.

All right, put down the bag.
Pick up a brush.

I'm not gonna send you home,
tail between your legs.

Not when you got
a baby on the way.

You can come back to work.

No.

Isabella was right.
If you want me back,

I want 50% of the money.

Ho-ho, mate!

What do you even bring to this?
You're out of your head.

Am I?

Yuri, when's the last time
you picked up a brush?

You're blocked.

You've completely lost
your inspiration.

And look, you could try
to convince yourself

that I'm just executing
your vision.

But the thing is,

what the people love
is your new style,

which is me.

That's what I'm bringing
to this, Yuri.

And the truth is, you need
me way more than I need you.

So... good luck.

25%, not a penny more.

And just to be clear,

you've got a baby coming.

So the truth is,

we need each other.

Then let's get to work!

Created a monster.

Oh, you better keep
that girl of yours,

because it seems that she's
making a man out of you.

Okay, I'm Alice Kwan.
Thank you.

Wow. You were right.

This turned out
to be a great gig!

Hi. Hilarious set.
Loved it!

Thanks!

My name is Lily Cam.
I'm a casting director.

And I'd love you to read
for a guest spot

for a half-hour comedy
I'm casting.

Seriously?

I... I'd love to!

Amazing! Do you have a rep
I should get in touch with?

Actually, she's right here!

This is my manager,
Sumi.

Actually, no.

Apparently, I'm not
your manager anymore!

Excuse me.

But...

Uh...
As it stands,

uh, I... I... I'm, uh, in between
representatives right now.

Yeah, um, is there a way
you can contact me directly?

Come in.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I was just thinking
about you.

I'm sorry
to show up like this.

I think we need to talk.

"Absence" by Dyan playing...

What's up, everybody?
L.B. Brady here.

Oh, my God,
I've got some excit...

Hola, me gente!
I just booked a national...

What's up, y'all?

This is the pilot script
for my brand new...

I cannot wait
for you watch it. So tune in!

Man, everything's
coming up L.B...

♪ And watch the shadow
from my knees ♪

♪ Mm-mmm...

♪ Mm-mmm...

You were right.

I was letting Yuri
take advantage of me.

And because of you,
I negotiated a 25% commission.

That's great!

I still feel like
you crossed a major line.

I know.
And I'm so sorry.

I know you are.

And I do forgive you.

Look, I'm glad that you
and Jaz are friends and all,

but I'd really,
really appreciate it

if we didn't involve
our families

in our relationship.

Mine will not be a problem,
but I can totally do that.

I just don't
want to be blindsided.

that's unshakable ♪

Okay.

♪ I get faith
that's unbreakable ♪

♪ Don't you doubt it...

I... Mm... I...

- I gotta pee.
- Oh!

The baby's head is literally
headbutting my bladder.

I'm sorry.

- But hold that thought, okay?
- Mm-hmm.

And I will be, um...
I will be right back.

I'm sorry.

You went to the farm alone?

Jenna wasn't at the
farmer's market. I had to.

Okay, wh... what happened?

Stop! Right there!

Lower the gun, Adam.

Joaquin, I showed you
around this afternoon,

but now you're trespassing.

If you step foot
on this farm again,

I'll call the sheriffs.

And considering what you've been
writing about their deputy gangs,

I'm not sure
you want me to do that.

I'm going.

He pulled a gun on you?

- Yeah. Adam did, yeah.
- Oh, my God!

You should've heard
this guy Silas talk.

He's got, like, all these women
living and working there.

It's like he thinks
he's some type of guru.

I think...
I think Jenna's in a cult.

Yeah, I gotta get to her.

What are you doing here, man?

Came to give you this.

What is it?

It's a restraining order.

I'm being ordered to stay
250 feet away from Jenna.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
