I Am Syd Stone (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Catch and Release - full transcript
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Syd is finally forced to come clean to Rachel, to the detriment of their relationship and, potentially, his career.
Hey, babe?
Babe!
Matt?
Have you ever been with a guy?
There was a reporter around here
looking for you today.
He wrote it with you in mind.
I'm sure Syd's
got it all planned out.
What's your problem, man?!
What is it?
Syd!
Syd!
Hey.
What's up?
What are you doing?
Just gonna have a shower.
I made reservations
downstairs for nine.
Actually I was thinking
we could just do room service.
Yeah?
Is that okay?
Actually, that's perfect.
Okay.
Yeah.
Umm...
maybe we could watch a movie?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Yeah. Fine.
Um, hey, I'm...
I'm sorry about this morning.
No, no no, I'm...
I'm sorry, because I...
Hey, it was a long flight
and I was cranky and...
I just wanted you to be
happy to see me.
Hey.
I'm always happy to see you.
Okay?
- 'Kay.
- Okay?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Want something to drink?
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Okay.
I'll be right out.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry, I think
you have the wrong room.
It's Rachel, right?
Yeah.
Hey, so, I was thinking...
Hey.
So, I was thinking
that we could do nachos,
'cause they're actually
not that bad here,
or if we're feeling
real naughty,
we could get pizza.
I'd be down for nachos.
Sweet.
Who's Matt?
Matt?
Yeah. He was
just here looking for you.
Wait, I'm sorry, just...
what, just now?
Wait!
Where are you going?
Syd!
Matt?
She's a lot prettier in person.
Fuck!
Well, that was fucking weird.
Yeah, sorry. Matt's
a production assistant.
Script revisions.
He could've just
given them to me.
You wanna run through them?
The revisions.
No. No, it's like,
some minor changes.
What?
Nothing.
Did you find us a movie?
No, I couldn't find anything.
What the fuck is going on?
You don't return
my texts or calls.
You've been off
since I got here.
There's something
you're not telling me.
Who was that guy?
He's a lawyer.
Are you in trouble?
No. No.
We met the other night
at the bar.
We just got talking,
had a few drinks. That's it.
Did you have
plans tonight, or...?
No.
Well, clearly,
he thought you did.
I dunno.
Honestly, I think
he has a like a...
like a thing for me.
Well, he knows
who you are, right?
Yeah.
Well then, he has to
know you're not interested.
Yeah.
Obviously.
Syd?
Why'd you
run after him like that?
What?
What are you not telling me?
Will you just say something?
What do you want?
What do I want?
Yeah, what do you want?
I want you
to talk to me. I...
Okay, after...
the other night after work,
we got home late and...
it was like 11 or 12,
and when I got back
to the hotel,
he was in the hallway
waiting for me.
I let him in.
RACHEL What? What do
you mean, you let him in?
You know what I mean.
- Is this...
- Don't.
...one of
your elaborate jokes?
'Cause you know,
this one's not very funny.
No.
Okay, so...
are you, like...
was this a one-time thing
or are you gay? Bi?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't...
What do you mean you don't know?
I don't fucking know!
You know.
Just fucking tell me.
Are you attracted to me?
I think you're beautiful.
That's not what I asked you.
Do you love me?
Of course, I do.
What's that?
Of course I do.
Are you in love with me?
Fuck.
My god, what the fuck?
Hey babe.
Hey, hey, look at me.
All right?
Look at me.
Of course I love you.
Of course I do, okay?
I want you to be happy.
That's all I want.
Were there others?
Who? When?
What?
Do you remember
that 10 year reunion?
I fucking knew it.
You were so weird
when you got back.
It was just a kiss.
It meant nothing.
Nothing, okay?
Right.
Yeah.
Babe.
What are you doing?
I'm leaving.
Come on.
Just wait.
We can talk about this.
You have the bed.
I'll sleep on the couch.
I don't want to
sleep in that bed.
What is there to talk about?
You lied to me!
For three years, you lied to me,
knowing exactly
how I felt about you
and how you felt about me.
Jesus you...
I thought...
What?
You thought what?
Look, I got you that audition
for Secretary of State.
That was me!
What the fuck does that
have to do with anything?
God!
You know what, never mind.
No, wait, wait, what,
you think this is some sort
of business transaction
between you and me?
You know what? Fuck you.
You don't get to decide
what you mean to me.
Hey! Just...
will you wait?
Just wait until the morning.
Move your arm.
Please.
Get out of my way.
When this breaks, don't even
think about calling me.
You know what? You probably
don't even realize,
but he's gonna sell his story
to the highest bidder,
first chance he gets.
He won't do that.
How long have you known him?
Rachel, will you just...
If you follow me, I'll scream.
Babe!
