Servant (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Episode #3.4 - full transcript

I'm so glad those fit you.

You look adorable.
Look at yourself.

I feel like everyone
can see my body.

Well, who cares if
they can see it?

I mean, this is what
normal girls wear.

You can wear this
all day, you know?

To the park or to the store.

It's not safe to go out.

You'll get there.

And there's no rush.

But how about we get
you some exercise?



You ready for our lesson?

I can't believe you found
all these old records.

I haven't seen them in ages.

You know, I saw
Vivian Dale live once

at a little club in New
York on the Lower East Side.

She died so young.

Drugs, I think.

Maybe a boyfriend
who abused her.

I can't remember but, ugh, when she
was on stage, she was like a goddess.

She was in so much pain, but
she turned that pain into power.

That's good. Yes!

But don't just extend the arm.

You gotta send the energy all
the way through your fingertips.

Yes, that's what you want
to do in every position.



Look at you.

I'm terrible at dancing.

What?

Why would you say that?

It's what my mother used to say.

Whenever I'd have to learn
choreography for a pageant,

she wouldn't let me eat
dinner until I got it perfect.

And, you know, I remember trying
really hard to do my best.

But eventually, I'd just
be so tired and hungry

that it was impossible
to get it right.

Sweetheart.

Dorothy, I need you!

What is it?

The safety guy!

Oh, shit.

Oh, God, I've got this meeting
that I'm supposed to go to.

Are you coming back?

No, I'm sorry. But we can
pick up again tomorrow. Yeah?

Right from where I'm sitting,
I see, like, 15 deadly hazards.

Starting with this table.

Put bumpers on that.

And that armoire
you got over there.

Sharp corners?

Worse. Toddlers like to climb.

Every two weeks, a kid dies
from furniture tipping over.

Oh, my God.

Hey. We'll anchor
it to the wall.

Okay.

Now, outlets.

A hundred kids a year
die from electrocution.

Sad. Very sad.

Well, we'll put safety gates on each
floor and Plexi along the sides here,

'cause toddlers love to stick their
little heads through the spindles.

Leanne, could you keep him
occupied until we're done here?

Thanks.

I know. We gotta move all
this cleaning stuff up higher.

No need. We'll put locks on all
the cabinets and stove knobs too.

Is that really necessary?

I'm a professional chef, so I can't
have a bunch of gadgetry stopping me...

- Sean.
- You don't need this.

As long as I'm here, nothing
will ever happen to Jericho.

Leanne.

He's hungry. You
need to feed him.

Excuse us.

Babysitter really
rules the roost, huh?

…with a special report.

Our cochairs for tonight's
event said this is…

I really don't like that man.

Leanne, he's not one of
your creepy cult people.

He's owned the
company for years.

You're gonna have to trust that
I know what's best for my son.

…long stay at a
villa in Tuscany.

I can't believe they had Isabelle
do "Spring at the Mansion."

I've been doing this fucking
party for eight years.

Well, I'm glad they
didn't ask you.

- We need you here at home.
- …is "spring has sprung."

- And we are definitely…
- This is so hurtful.

It's like I'm invisible.

The dance floor is full,
the bar is open and…

God, I don't even know
if he's getting anything.

My supply's dropping ever
since he's been on solids.

Maybe I should put him back on
formula if we want him to gain weight.

No. No. Your milk is better.

You're just not sticking
to his schedule.

And you're not drinking enough
water. Would you drink this, please?

- …that if you have a man in your life…
- Drink it.

- …who hasn't been screened…
- It's fine. Leave it.

…particularly if he's over the age
of 55, now is the time to do it.

No more making excuses and
putting it off for later.

I know how much men hate
going to the doctor,

but this really could be a
matter between life and death.

Walter, don't tell my
trainer about this, okay?

There you are.

Good for you. A
little fresh air.

Still friends?

Where are you going?

I asked for a meeting
at the station.

Sometimes you just have to go in
there and ask for what you need.

Sean has Jericho. Wish me luck.

Stay away from me.

I just want to talk to you.

- Hey.
- Morning, Chef.

Want you to meet someone.

- Sylvia. Hi.
- Hi.

I had this sweet gig as a private
chef on this guy's yacht for a while,

but then he got
busted by the Feds,

so now I'm back in town just trying
to pay off my student loans, you know?

Yeah, I hear that.

Hey, Leanne, come meet
my girlfriend, Sylvia.

Leanne takes care of Jericho.

So cute.

What is he, like, 18 months?

Nine months. He's
big for his age.

He's perfect.

So anyway, we were thinking if you
ever need an extra pair of hands

for a big job or something,
Sylvia could totally help out.

I have references. I mean, not
from the yacht guy. He's in prison.

But I spent a year at Jean-Georges,
so I can make anything.

Yeah, that's great.
Sure. I don't usually...

Sometimes people don't realize how much
help they need until it's too late.

I need to get back to work.

Sure thing. And if you want, I'll work
the first shift for free. Trial basis.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you, Chef. I'll
see you tomorrow.

- Sure.
- Super good to meet you.

I loved you on Gourmet Gauntlet.

What the fuck was that?

I understand the desperation
for a new gig, but come on.

Tobe knows better than try
and foist some cook on me.

What are you guys
doing tomorrow?

Pain-in-the-ass catering job.

Actually, I could put you to
work, if you want to pitch in.

Yeah, I'd love to.

Cool. Yeah, Dorothy could hang
with Jericho. You ever made candy?

No.

We're doing saltwater taffy with
passion fruit and fleur de sel.

You just throw it over
the hook, over and over,

to aerate it until
it turns white.

It's fun.

And it would put some muscles
on those puny little arms.

Hey. I'm stronger than I look.

Yeah, I bet you are, from carrying
this little bruiser around.

After you put him down for his nap,
come back. We'll talk over the menu.

Yes, Chef.

I just got the babyproofing estimate:
$3,000 for 99-cents pieces of shit that...

Thank you. Yes. Me too. I
am really looking forward.

I'm back! I am back in the game.

In-depth report on the
street murals downtown.

I don't know, maybe they're
just doing it to shut me up.

But who cares? At least they're giving
me a chance to prove I'm still worth it.

You are still worth it.

Fuck!

This is the kind of piece
that could go national.

- When does it start?
- Tomorrow.

And if all goes well, I'm
gonna be out all week.

Tomorrow, I need
Leanne in the kitchen.

Don't you have Tobe?

Yeah, but it's a ton
of prep, so I need her.

Can't we get someone else
to look after Jericho?

Do you expect me to
just snap my fingers

and find someone else
who can watch our child?

No, it's just that Leanne was
really looking forward to it.

Sean, she can cook
with you anytime.

I just need this one week to
focus on myself and my work.

Can you give me that?

I'm so sorry. I can't do
our little class today.

Why are you dressed for work?

Well, I'm finally being shown
the respect I deserve again,

and I've been given
a big assignment.

So, crazy hours this week.

Sean has found someone
else to help in the kitchen

so you can focus on Jericho.

Did I get these buttons right?

What time will you be home?

Late.

It's live, but there's a party
where we have to get some B-roll.

It's not good for Jericho
when you're out late.

Leanne, I understand it makes
you nervous when I'm not home.

Just a few more buttons.

I know you didn't grow up
around women who worked,

but that's just not
normal for most people.

I love my job.

It makes me happy.

It makes me a better mother.

And if, God forbid, anything ever happened
to Sean, I can support this household.

I would never let
anything happen to Sean.

Thank you.

And thank you for helping me
hold down the fort this week.

I want you to know when you're
watching me on television

that I absolutely could
not do this without you.

Plus, we should be
thinking about your future.

You know, you could get
your high school degree.

You could do that all online
without ever leaving the house.

We want to help you
focus on your own goals,

so you can become the woman
that you were meant to be.

All I care about is this family.

Hey, little buddy.
Want a green bean?

No, dumbass. He
could choke on it.

He can play with it. It's fine.

Did you check on the
tart shells in the oven?

Yeah. Five minutes.

Do you maybe want to
take that ring off?

They said at the store the
acid could etch the stone.

Yeah, I would, if I could get
the fucking thing to come off.

The jeweler is gonna
have to cut it off.

I didn't realize it was too
small. I told him size six.

Only my left hand is a size six.

Well, I thought you'd
wear it on your left hand.

Honey, it's gotta be
diamonds for this finger.

- Right.
- What are you doing?

Sean said brunoise, not
fucking matchsticks. Here.

- Hey, Tobe. Why don't you take a break?
- Yeah.

- Take these out to the kids in the park.
- Okay.

Why are you so rude to Tobe?

Excuse me?

Where are the radicchio cups?

Nice, Chef. Good work.

Hey, so, Sean, you ever think
about starting your own restaurant?

I mean, sure. I thought about it.
But I don't think it's gonna happen.

I'm just saying. I
know some investors.

You are exactly the kind of
chef they're looking for.

Young, hip, one-of-a-kind
vision. A superstar.

Well, right now I'm just
trying to get through today.

All right. Well, when you
get your Michelin star,

you better keep me in mind.

Hey, Chef, I couldn't find
them. Maybe they moved on?

Are you insane? You think homeless
kids walk away from food like this?

Shit. That's the safety guy.

Leanne, could you answer the door and
make sure he gets anything he needs?

Here. If you need anything else,
I'll just be in the kitchen.

Actually, it'd be great if you
could stick around for a while.

It's a pretty sweet house. I
wouldn't wanna mess anything up.

How long you been working here?

A few months.

They treat you all right?

Evenings off? Weekends?

A lot of great clubs downtown.

How old are you?

I'm 18.

You work out?

You know, like, Zumba and stuff?

I bet you are a great dancer.

Come on, show me some moves.

Hey, it's okay.

You don't gotta be afraid of me.

My buddy's got a place
downtown. Real upscale.

If I brought you, they
would not check your ID.

It's my fault, right?

Because I look like a whore?

Are you happy now?

Are you happy?

Get the fuck out of my way.

Tobe, that candy is done. What
the hell is wrong with you?

Come help me with the garnishes.

What?

Stop! Stop! Jesus! You're gonna
ruin the ones I already did.

Tobe! Take the
trash out, please!

How can you let her
talk to you like that?

All chefs talk that way.

I've heard Sean yell at you a
hundred times. That's different.

She's trying to hurt you.

Sylvia's just a really insecure person.
Sometimes when insecure people just...

She doesn't even like you, Tobe.

All you want is to
live a normal life,

and everybody keeps thinking that
they can do whatever they want to you.

Awful things to you. And that
you're always just gonna be there.

And it's not fair.

Leanne! Dorothy.

Hello.

Jericho's having sweet potato.

I remember.

I'm out here on Broad Street with
graffiti artist Diego Williams.

Diego's street name is D. Wilz

and our local Philly viewers

may have seen his tag
all over downtown.

Diego, please tell us about
your inspiration for this piece.

Ida B. Wells was a godmother
of the Civil Rights Movement.

She was a journalist
in the late 1800s.

She forced everyone to see

what was…

happening in the…

Miss?

Are you all right?

You can't leave him in here
crying when we're trying to work.

Okay, okay. I'm
here. You're okay.

- Hey. I almost tripped.
- Excuse me.

- Chef. Chef.
- Where do you want this?

Goddamn it. I'm not ready. Five
minutes. Tobe, show 'em what's ready.

This is the last room. You want
me to get started on the...

No! Wait! Thirty minutes!

If we wait, I gotta pay
my carpenter overtime.

Then don't fucking do the
kitchen! I'll do it! Thank you.

You're the boss.

But you gotta sign this invoice
to confirm it's what you want.

Leanne, could you sign
that for me, please?

Easy, there.

Watch it! Jesus!

We'll see ourselves out.

- My bad.
- Are you fucking...

Listen to me. You have to handle
that like it's fucking plutonium.

Where's the ceviche?

Where's the ceviche?

- I'm sorry. I…
- Oh, my God!

You already gave them the
ceviche? You dumb fucking shit!

I thought you were done
with it. I didn't...

I have never met anyone so
useless in my entire life!

I have been trying to
prove myself to Sean

and you have done nothing except
get in my way all fucking day!

Do you have any idea how fucking
embarrassing you're making me look?

Do you have any fucking
idea what you just did?

You fucking moron! Fuck you!

Nobody should ever
fucking hire you ever...

Shit.

My ring got caught.

Oh, God. Oh, shit.

What the fuck just happened?

- She was…
- Apply pressure!

Tobe! Where's her finger?

- Where the fuck is her finger?
- What?

- Find her finger.
- Finger, finger.

Because the hospital needs it,
Tobe. In order to reattach it.

- Yeah, I can't find it!
- Did you find it?

- No! It's not anywhere!
- Tobe!

- I don't see it anywhere!
- Tobe!

- What? What?
- Tobe!

- Tobe!
- What?

Hey, you see Dorothy on TV?

No.

We had this huge
fucking accident.

You need to see this.

Miss?

Are you all right?

Of course. Can you tell
us why you painted her?

She was fearless.

She single-handedly
exposed the atrocities

that were happening in the South
against African Americ…ans.

Oh, my God!

She's never gonna live
this down. She's done.

I didn't give him the bottle yet,
in case you want to feed him.

I'm glad you're home.

When he was gone…

I thought…

if I can just have my baby back,

I will never ask
for anything else.

But something's just not right.

I can't explain
it, but it's like…

the universe is
trying to hurt me or…

like I've…

lost something.

Come here.

Why can't this be enough?

What is wrong with me, huh?
