Satisfaction (2014–2015): Season 1, Episode 10 - ...Through Resolution - full transcript

Previously on Satisfaction...

The technology, it's
tapping into something,

understanding what makes people happy.

It's universal.

You would like us to sign over

your educational account

so that you can go and play
at the... what festival?

The March Lawn Festival.

This is no different than the last time

you tried to run away
with Tatiana, whatever.

Ooh, who's Tatiana?



She's no one.

I...

If you need to be with someone else,

I want that person to be me.

I've always had a backup plan.

I can support you.

I can help you be the
person that you want to be.

Rand sponsors a meet career fellowship

with the Design Institute of Milan,

and I've nominated you.

I was contacted by a woman the other day.

I guess you could say she
was my first experience.

Her husband found out,

and I don't think that I
want to be a part of that.



You've become this person

because of what we've done together.

I'm not interested.

But you don't even know who the client is.

Me.

Water's draining straight into my yard.

Must be a crack in the
lining or something.

This does not look good.

Neil knows.

He's known about Simon.

Did he confront you?

No, he hasn't said anything.

I don't understand.

Simon told me.

I guess Neil saw us together

at one of my staged houses.

Actually, he saw us,

and then he, um...

He chased Simon down after he left,

and... and he confronted him.

What would you like to do, Grace?

Oh.

God.

You know, I'm here.

And I really don't know
what I'd like to do.

What are your thoughts?

I asked Neil to go to therapy last night,

and he agreed.

And what was that conversation like?

There was no conversation.

Grace, when you first
came to me three weeks ago,

you said your goal was to
make your marriage work.

This is a step in that direction.

Right.

What if it's too late?

You know, I have these shoes
at the bottom of my closet.

They're this pair of
2-inch heels, Navy blue,

and the toe and the
heel are caked in dirt.

I see them every morning, but I don't...

I don't put them on, not anymore.

I know where the dirt came from.

I was getting back into my car

after an afternoon with
Simon at another empty house,

and, um...

I don't know.

I don't want to wear them,

because I don't want to clean them,

because that would be like wiping clean

this part of me.

And, uh...

I don't know why I'm
holding on to this dry mud.

Because of the way it makes me feel?

I...

If you and Neil want to work this out,

you're gonna have to open up to each other

about what's been going
on for the past six months.

Yeah, just, as soon as you can.

Thanks.

In a strange way, I think we already have.

Laura Kilter.

I covered Laura for you a couple times.

Last year.

You went to Binke's wedding.

I didn't go 'cause I didn't care.

I don't remember that at all.

You said I might as well turn a profit

off my disfigured soul,

and you referred her to me.

This isn't covering.

None of these names are covering.

I am giving her to you as a client.

All right?

Laura Kilter is now yours.

Nobody gives away anything for free.

What's going on?

You want these names or not?

Listen, three weeks ago,

you were complaining about being broke.

That's all I'm saying.

What ever happened with the audit?

Laura.

You need this number again?

Got it.

Okay, because once I delete it...

I got it.

All right.

Betsy Ling.

_

Hi.

Hi.

Are you Anika?

Tatiana.

You're Tatiana?

Mateo didn't tell me
that you'd still be here.

Sorry if I startled you.

Uh, no, that's okay.

I didn't... I didn't tell
Mateo that I was coming by.

Could you do me a favor?

Hold the door open for a second?

Are you moving in?

Uh, I live here.

It's my place.

I'm moving back.

Mateo never told you?

No, no, he... He didn't.

I subletted to him
when I went on the road.

He was supposed to go with me,

but he bailed.

He really never told you any of this?

So you guys aren't still...

Still what?

Together.

Oh, we were never a couple.

We just sang together.

Well, he wanted to sing with me,

but I didn't think he really
made much sense for my career.

As a musician, he's
just, you know... okay.

He's amazing.

You two are gonna play
the March Lawn Festival.

No, I'm not.

Oh, he texted me last night

and said that he was
still planning on going.

You're not going with him?

Uh...

Truman...

Their reps are on the way,
right from the airport.

We're not prepped at all.

Is that yours?

Well, I figured I couldn't
sing the praises of your app

without some personal market research,

so I futzed around with it,

and it said I could benefit
from having a companion.

And?

Well, the part about cleaning up after it

doesn't exactly make me happy,

but I like the little guy.

Oh, a messenger dropped
off something on your desk

when I was walking in this morning.

_

I always like making the first payment

to my contractors in person.

I enjoy looking the ones
who did a good job in the eye

and conveying my sincere thanks.

I like looking the ones who did
a terrible job in the eye too.

Luckily for you, you're the former.

When I see your budget for the next phase,

I can give you more of an advance.

Thank you.

You seem out of sorts.

Me?

No, it's nothing.

Rosalie told me what
happened here the other day.

What did she tell you?

I know who he is, Grace.

I entertain a lot.

We've seen each other quite a few times.

But are you okay, really?

It sounded like a...

Very passionate encounter.

Yes, I'm okay.

At home?

If there's anything I can do...

Thank you, but I don't think...

Thank you.

I understand.

You're going on a trip?

Yes, it's a little unexpected,

but I won't be going alone, I hope.

Um...

Sorry to interrupt.

Excuse me, love.

Thank you.

Hello.

Maybe it's easier if I do say yes,

because you won't take no for an answer.

Darling, I was just talking about you.

Now's not really a good time.

Oh, this won't take long.

I'm done.

We're done.

Please don't act like
a teenager about this

and do it over the phone.

Come by so we can talk about it.

You never even heard my full offer.

What the hell you doing?

I said we got a ton of work to do.

Come on.

So sorry about that.

Where were we?

You know, I should get going.

I'll be in touch about the next phase.

I have to go.

Okay.

This doesn't make any sense.

I know; It's a lot to digest.

This just sounds like
something I would do.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

In a weird way, I guess
it does kind of make sense,

because now that I'm
in a good relationship

and my life is going good,

you don't have to be
the good girl anymore,

and so this kind of gives you permission

to finally be the one to mess up.

All right, this is
exactly why we don't talk,

because it's just always about you, Steph.

Grace, please, stop.

Please, wait, I'm sorry.

I'm just... I'm in shock too.

Okay?

Hey.

I can't imagine what
this must be like for you.

And I feel bad that you didn't, you know,

trust me enough to let me in.

I'm a bad person.

No, you're not.

I'm a bad mom.

You're human, Grace.

You were with the same man for 20 years.

You put your whole life on
hold to raise a daughter,

a pretty great daughter.

But shit happens, you know?

People change.

We're gonna go see a therapist.

I asked him to go, and he
jumped at the chance, so...

I don't think that's a good idea.

You don't know what
he's gonna say in there.

He could be waiting for the right time

to ambush you with divorce papers.

Neil would never do that.

He'd never do anything to hurt me.

How do you know?

Things are kind of great between us.

I don't even know how to explain this.

Okay, clearly you're not
thinking rationally right now,

so, hey, I'll be the voice of reason here.

According to you,

he knows all about what
you've been doing in your life,

and you know next to nothing
what he's been doing in his.

You need to protect yourself.

He's gone from the house 12 hours a day.

I'd start by looking deeper

into what it is he's doing when he's gone.

Hi.

Aneeka.

Uh, it's Anika.

But... sorry.

Okay.

They didn't let me up, so...

It's Sunday.

Even if it was a weekday,
it wouldn't matter.

Last time you were here,

you insulted my artist, remember?

- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

Sorry about that.

But I did download her single.

And it's... it's good.

You know, she's got a...

What do you want?

Look, I know where I stand
in your eyes as a singer.

It's just lousy.

No, I never said "lousy."

But the song is good.

The song is really good.

I mean, you can't deny that.

And I've got a ton,

a ton of different songs.

I recorded it on my laptop,

so it might sound a little rough, but...

Okay, you're gonna have to sign a contract

before I even listen to that.

I already did.

And the songs are on that?

Why don't we go upstairs and talk?

Hey, you need a hand?

With what?

Getting to the hospital?

Looks like it weighs a ton.

She's water-logged.

We found her on the prow

of a 19th-century new England whaler

went down off Newfoundland
about 100 years ago.

Wow, she's beautiful.

She's still gonna hate it.

Oh, Adriana?

Is she here?

No, no, I'm trying to sneak this in

before she gets here.

But you know what?

I'm gonna take you up on your offer.

Why don't you grab the...

Yep.

Careful with the wall.

Where?

Right over here.

Huh.

There's a whole other life jammed in here.

Yeah.

Her husband's.

Oh, you... you knew him?

No.

Yeah, well, he passed away, I assumed.

Did she tell you that?

Well, she didn't tell me she was married.

What was your name?

Neil.

Neil, Fisher...

Adriana's husband.

Four years I was gone this time.

Last eight months were at sea.

I chartered a boat,

poured a couple shots of Irish whiskey,

one for me, one for the captain,

and then I dared him to sail
us somewhere no one's ever seen.

You know, that's the problem with wealth.

It breeds narcissistic delusions.

Or the other way around.

Oh, you be careful, Neil.

Don't show too true a color.

Defenders of capitalism are relics.

Still here.

I'll be damned.

Moonshine.

No.

It's homemade.

No, thank you.

Kaffeklubben island.

That's where we ended up.

It's just off Greenland.

It's the most northern
tract of land on earth,

in case you were wondering.

Right.

Do you know what I found

on that most remote parcel of Terra Firma

on my quest for tranquility?

Plastic.

Plastic?

Bottles, bags, toys, containers,

I mean, there's an island of
it in the middle of the ocean.

I mean, is there nowhere on this planet

that we haven't soiled?

So... are you here to stay?

Oh, no, I never am, never will.

No, she likes it that way, and so do I.

Oh, this house, Adriana...

It's my port, not my life.

I've been meaning to thank you.

Come with me.

Adriana sent me a photo.

I was in Reykjavik.

I'm a bit of an art buff, so
I told her I had to have it,

and she told me that you
were the one who delivered.

She talks to you about me?

Well, I admit to prodding her
for details from time to time.

It's sensational stuff.

So, as I said, thank you,

from one absentee husband to another.

Hello, darling.

Thanks.

You just made this easier.

Neil.

I just met your husband.

I can explain.

Did I screw up?

You were coming next week.

Well... surprise.

Asshole.

_

You've come a long way,

so you must have as many
questions as Neil did

when he first arrived.

No, and I'm here

because I thought he
was having an affair...

with you.

I mean, I went through his things

to try and find something
about where he's been lately,

and I found this parking receipt.

We validate, by the way.

I mean, he has a book about all of this.

I just didn't realize how serious he was.

What do you two talk about?

If you're allowed to tell me.

Oh, I'm not a priest.

And Neil was a friend.

He talks about you, Grace,

and how he would do anything
to protect what you have,

including going through

a frightening period of self-discovery

to become the willing
partner he feels you deserve.

He... he said that to you?

Mm-hmm.

I feel the same way.

I feel like I've been going
through the exact same thing.

Ah, but feelings are not facts, Grace.

They don't define who we are,

but they can lead us
to where we want to go.

So... here we are.

In a way, we found each other.

Neil cares for you very deeply,

and I think that fact

should be what guides your feelings now.

Grace?

Where'd you go? Come back here.

Oh.

Yeah, he... he just peed in your kitchen.

Didn't you, Little Shit?

Oh, that's his name now: Little Shit.

Fits, right?

What are you doing here?

I'd prefer you not hold Little Shit.

Oh, sure.

Yeah.

That a boy.

Darryl had lunch with Tora's
assistant general counsel.

Don't ask me why.

He's a sneaky little bastard.

Like Pearl Harbor every day with that guy.

Tell me you don't say that
to other people at the office.

He took a sneak peak

at what they want to do with your app.

And?

Dating site.

They want to turn my
app into a dating site?

You're disappointed.

Does it matter what I feel?

I thought you'd lost your mind.

The airplane thing, this "happy" app.

Maybe you did go a little bit crazy, Neil.

But the reality is,

your crazy found us a
whole new stream of revenue.

Product development.

Plus, I got this little
guy out of the deal.

I don't really care about
my other employees' feelings.

I just don't.

But I don't have the
liberty to ignore yours.

Crazy or not, you're talent, son.

And it's my job to manage you.

I know you're disappointed
in this outcome.

That's why I came here
to tell you in person.

You need to swallow that sadness way deep.

And remember this: This is the first

of many opportunities
you are going to have

to let that fiscally lucrative

and spiritually responsible
imagination just take flight.

You're not gonna have
too many more chances

if you...

Can you behave yourself at
the meeting tomorrow, Neil?

Can you... Can you do that for me, please?

Because these folks are itching
to write us a big, fat check.

Is my wife home?

Yeah, she's outside with your...

Excuse me.

Your daughter.

How's it look?

It's freaking me out, dad.

It's like Poltergeist,

the Indian burial ground.

Bodies are gonna start popping up.

We should just move now.

I got the estimate, so...

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, it's a good thing she
doesn't want to go to college.

That's about how much it's gonna cost.

We have to fix it, right?

I made the appointment for us, tomorrow.

Good, good.

It looks so much smaller
without the water in it, huh?

Where'd you get them?

Santa Claus.

These didn't come from the north pole.

You are good.

Yeah, more like 1930s Prague.

You got any grandparents or relatives

from eastern Europe, south America?

What are they worth?

Well, they are originals.

I can verify that.

Price, well, that'll vary,

but we're looking at seven figures.

The market's very
finicky right now, though.

So it could take me six
months to find a buyer.

Six months?

I don't have that kind of time.

Yeah, well, it's a global endeavor.

It's not like you can advertise on eBay.

Now, you could always trade.

I know a collector
who's got a Keith haring

that he was looking to...

No, no, no, no, no.

It has to be a sale.

All right, then.

You're gonna have to be patient.

Do you mind me asking why you're selling?

I got my eyes on something else right now.

I suppose that's fitting.

Some things are just too beautiful

to go a lifetime in the hands of one man.

Hi.

Hey.

Come in.

Thanks for coming.

I was worried I was gonna
miss you before you left.

You're still playing
at that festival, right?

Where'd you hear that?

I went by your place.

Well, Tatiana's, I guess.

She was there, and she told me.

She told you everything?

Yeah.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

It's all good.

I have something for you.

Hang on.

Here.

What is this?

It's half of my share.

I signed the contract for the songs.

And Bernard gave me an advance.

It's barely anything, barely.

But, um...

I really thought that you deserved half,

since you were kind of the inspiration

for a lot of them.

Uh, so...

You know, 'cause you're going on the road,

I thought you needed it, and...

You really signed that contract?

Yeah.

I'm not taking this.

No, I want you to have it.

I don't want it.

You can use it; You need it.

I don't want it

because I don't want to be a part of it.

You didn't need to sign that contract.

You're better than that.

You're better than him.

God, I wish you would have believed me

when I told you that.

But you only like to believe
that what you think is right.

Good luck, though.

Hi, how are you?

I was hoping you could help me with these.

No, no, no, my dear.

Manolos require a weather report.

I know.

Do you think maybe you could
make them look like new?

Nothing is like new, other than new.

But I can get you close.

Okay, great, whatever you can do.

Of course.

Hello?

Yes, this is Grace.

Oh, my God, what?

All right, they're all here.

Now, just like we said,

just talk about what inspired you.

It's all gravy at this point.

Showtime, kid.

But none of us would be here today

if it wasn't for bastion
partner Neil Truman,

who spearheaded this
project from the get-go.

Why don't you tell us a little bit

about what the app means to you.

Neil Truman.

Gentlemen...

I can't stand here and say

that a dating application
was the result I had in mind

when our two companies began our dialogue.

But then, Victor came
to my house yesterday,

because that's the kind of
diligent managing partner

we have here at bastion.

And he asked me if I could
overcome my disappointment,

if I could let go of
that perfect application

that I had bouncing around inside my head

for so many weeks,

and to move on.

And so I considered letting it go.

But then I changed my mind.

I don't exactly work that way.

There is no result that
we can offer our customers

that will meet their expectations,

and they know that.

At least the rational ones do.

Our customers won't be paying
for the results we can provide.

They'll be paying for the
moment before the results,

like...

Like when you catch a
girl's eye in a crowded room,

and she sees you,

and you cross to her,

and you know she sees you coming.

It's that second,

right before you say, "hello,"

when all there is, is... possibility.

And that possibility is perfect.

And then she speaks,

and you realize she's more than perfect.

She's French.

I applaud you, gentlemen,
for what you're trying to do.

I just beg you, please...

get it right.

Gentlemen...

Who'd like to write the check?

How much are you hoping to get for them?

Five.

More than enough to start a new life.

That's always been the plan.

How's that plan going, by the way?

Are you interested in the sale?

Perhaps.

Stay here.

Of course I know what they are.

But they've been out of
circulation for years.

They're part of a private collection.

I think it's the Waverly family, yeah.

The billionaires?

Hmm.

Stolen?

Mm, not necessarily.

Who's selling them?

That's him?

Look familiar?

I doubt he stole anything.

He's part of their family,

one of the remaining heirs.

Simon, darling...

I want you to meet someone.

Sorry.

No, it's okay.

I just got here.

Did you press the button?

Just, you have to press the button

to let her know you're here.

Right. Didn't see that.

Yeah.

Are those new?

My shoes?

No.

No, I just haven't worn them in a while.

They're pretty.

Thank you.

I got the fellowship from Rand.

I got the grant to study design in Milan.

What?

Wha... when did you...

When did you fi...

An hour ago.

The...

The head of the committee just called me.

Grace, that's...

I'm in shock.

Get up.

What?

Get up.

Impressing me comes very naturally to you.

It starts in two weeks.

How long?

A few months.

A few months?

Wow, okay.

- Come with me?
- I want to come with you.

I would love to come with you.

- You would?
- Yeah.

I wanted to go to Italy
with you 20 years ago.

I'm sorry for the wai...

Okay, good news.

My boss says for an extra $500

we can put you in that car today.

I already told you what I
was prepared to pay, so...

Well, there's got to be some
give-and-take here, doll.

I mean, we're doing you a huge favor

by offering you a discount as it is.

Um... have you heard of the Internet?

'Cause when you go online

and check out the blue
book value of that car

and add to the fact that
we're at the end of the month

and your quotas have got to be shit

given the recent downturn
in economic indicators,

I'd say I'm doing you a favor

by offering to take it off your hands.

So...

Can I endorse a third-party
check over to you for payment?

So there's a gas station
about a mile up the road.

It's okay.

I know exactly where I'm going.

When was the last time we
did something like this?

We've never done anything like this.

All the more reason to do it, then.

What did Anika say?

I can't reach her yet.

Ah.

Is this the right time?

Family vacation

born in the waiting
room of couples' therapy?

It's the perfect time.

I love you.

I love you.

I'm gonna try her again.
