Servant (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - Episode #3.7 - full transcript

Life hasn't always
been smooth for me.

You know, parents that
didn't care, homeless by 17.

Then cooking saved me.

Taught me how to treat
myself. How to treat others.

I've learned it doesn't
matter where you've been.

What matters is who
you're feeding today.

Food can lift you up, and
it can break your heart.

So if you can't stand the heat…

Then get out of my
fucking kitchen.

We're so proud of you.

That's your Dada.



Sean, it's terrific.

This is gonna change your life.

I don't know.

I don't think he had
enough faux exotic tattoos

to be a real celebrity chef.

No. Gourmet Gauntlet: Philadelphia will be
their most successful season in history.

Everybody's gonna know
the name Sean Turner.

Well, no matter what
happens, you were phenomenal,

and we're all very
excited for you.

- Are you, Dorothy?
- What?

Of course.

It's time for Jericho's walk.

Hey, you ready?

Come on. Yeah. Yeah.



You better not be suggesting you're
better than the Barefoot Contessa.

She is a national treasure.

So when you gonna introduce
me to Padma Lakshmi?

I'm thinking never.

And what about Ina Garten?

This isn't the Food Network.

So? I'm guessing there's a reason you
wanted to come out here sans Sean.

I need you to stop
fucking the nanny.

I'm not in the mood, so please
don't try to deny it. Just stop.

It's over, okay?

What's this about, Dottie?

Is it about work?

You're just going through
a dry spell. It'll pass.

Someone attacked her, Julian.

Is she all right?

Who knows? She says she is.

I don't know much
of anything anymore.

I honestly cannot remember Sean
being on Gourmet Gauntlet last year.

Feel like I'm losing my mind.

But you were under a
hell of a lot of stress.

It's fine.

I lost some things in the
postpartum fog. I guess that's life.

Just stay away from Leanne. She's
hard enough to handle as is.

I have to figure out
what to do with her.

I will not have that
cult back in our lives.

Leanne, I...

You know I want you to feel free
to come and go as you please,

but could you do me a favor?

What is it, Dorothy?

When you go on your walks,
can you avoid the park?

There are just so many
transients setting up camp,

and considering what happened,
I think it's the safest option.

There was a danger, but
that time has passed now.

You don't need to
worry about them.

Sweetie.

Whoever these people are,
they're just another cult.

Do you see the
dangerous pattern here?

Well, we see things differently.

I'm concerned about your
decision-making in general.

Which is why I've made an
appointment for you to see my ob-gyn.

It's come to my attention

that you're having
intercourse with my brother.

Dorothy, have you been
going through my things?

No.

Absolutely not.

That would be very
upsetting to me.

We weren't allowed private things
when I was at the Lesser Saints.

You are entitled
to your privacy.

We need to have
trust in this house,

which is why we need to be honest
with each other about everything.

Thank you for this
conversation, Dorothy.

It really has given me
a lot to think about.

Hi. Hi. Yeah, there you go.

Okay. It's a little disturbing,
but it's mostly harmless.

It's not unusual
for a young person

to poke fun at the authority
figure in their life.

Well, that's easy for you to say.
You're not the one being mocked.

And it's not just this. I...

I'm concerned that her issues
are too big for us to handle.

Now, I'm not one to victim
blame, but she's reckless.

She has a fascination
with these homeless kids.

And?

"And"?

And maniacs chased her through our
house. She's a magnet for the deranged.

I don't want my son
exposed to creeps!

Dorothy, Jericho's safe.
I know you're stressed.

You shouldn't have to sit around

and wait for an assignment from
the station like some amateur.

How is that relevant?

Tonight is a gift. No calls,
no prep, no Gourmet Gauntlet.

I just... I don't have the bandwidth
to freak out over every little thing.

I'm so sorry, Bobby Flay.

Is my concern for our family
disrupting your busy schedule?

I finally succeed in a big
way, and you can't stand it?

- Sean.
- This isn't just my win. This is our win...

Sean! I'm trying to talk to
you about something urgent!

Yes, the hungry
children in the park

who are somehow some sinister
threat to our family.

Just tell me when
dinner's ready.

Thank you.

Come.

He's beautiful.

He's a miracle.

Come here. We have new
things to show you.

Hey, pretty.

What is it about her?

She's extraordinary.

Courageous enough to rebel.

Against who?

Anyone who gets in her way.

- Oh, my God.
- Hey.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me there.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

Dorothy.

Get his stroller now.

I'd like to know why you felt the
need to put my son's life in danger

by taking him to a homeless encampment
after I explicitly asked you not to.

Dorothy, you just
don't understand.

I would never take him
there if it wasn't safe.

Everybody there is
kind and gentle.

It's all ready. Bulgogi's not supposed to
be served room temperature, so let's go.

Leanne. You are 18, and you
may feel safe out there.

I'm here to tell
you, you're not.

But that doesn't give you the right
to decide what's safe for my child.

Now, I asked you nicely before,
but you leave me no choice.

I forbid you to go
back to that park.

It's so funny how
controlling you can be.

It's almost like Aunt May. See
the dangerous pattern here?

Smells delicious, Sean.

I'd love you to try it.
Why don't you join us?

Sean, she had him outside
with those people.

Was he hurt?

No, but...

- Well, I'll talk to her about it.
- Not good enough.

What do you want me
to do? Throw her out?

We both know
Leanne's not perfect,

but you were the one who said
we could help rehabilitate her.

So, why do you
wanna give up now?

What... I'm not giving up.

Then why can't you just be happy? We
can fix whatever's wrong with Leanne.

But right now, we're in a good
place we haven't been for a while.

So why don't we just enjoy this dinner
and this Chilean Syrah that I bought...

Dorothy. Come on. It's
getting cold, honey.

Is Dorothy okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

She's just concerned about
you and the kids in the park

and everyone out there.

They just wanna learn from me.

Nobody's ever seen
what they see in me.

And why do you think
they treat you like that?

Maybe I deserve it.

Leanne! Could you
come here a sec?

- Hi, Veera.
- How you doin'?

Good.

Did you need something, Dorothy?

Have a seat.

Hi, Leanne.

Leanne, I have to be honest.

I was really pretty angry
with you last night.

But after a good night's sleep
and some sun salutations,

I had an epiphany.

The reason you and I are butting heads
is because you are stuck in this house.

And given your history,

you haven't had an opportunity
to experience independence.

And Julian told me about
Veera's dance background.

Yeah. And Dorothy told me how
much you enjoy your dance lessons.

She says you have real talent.

I think you'd be perfect for
something called dance semiotics.

Listen. You're gonna love this.

What's happening in here?

Leave or be quiet.

Look, it's an
institute in New Jersey

with a special, two-month
dance semiotics program

where you'll get all this
training and the studio time,

but also classes
in basic anatomy

and applying semiotics to
everyday communication.

It's like science for dancers with
a little philosophy on the side.

But it's not all work.

Twice a week, they have social activities
planned for the students, like bowling.

Look, you'll be gaining valuable
tools in building your career.

For instance, you're
great with kids.

If you ever wanted to teach
dance lessons to kids someday,

this would look
great on your résumé.

And the best part is, they usually
have a really long wait list,

but Veera was able to pull some
strings so they can take you right now.

And we'll take care of everything.
All you have to do is say yes.

Yeah. What do you think, Leanne?

You are mature and creative

and far too smart to turn
down an opportunity like this.

Right?

When it's done, you
can always come back.

Yeah, absolutely. You
can come back and visit.

Great, I just booked a train
ticket for you for tomorrow.

Classes don't actually
start till Monday.

Well, why wait?

Leanne might wanna get a
head start on her adventure.

A little keepsake.

You looked beautiful

when you wore that at Julian's
birthday party last year.

I wanted you to have it.

That's okay.

I wouldn't wanna
take your dress.

How could you just do that
without consulting me at all?

I tried.

You told me to smile
and eat my dinner.

I can't trust her.
It's not working.

Jericho loves her.

I feel anxious with her around.

I don't feel comfortable
leaving her alone with Jericho,

a problem since being alone
with Jericho is her job.

We need to face facts.

As long as she's here, this cult
could come for her at any time.

No, this is how it has to be.

And this dance camp, it'll
be good for her, you know?

She'll see she needs more
than we can give her,

and everyone will be better off.

I have no say of what
happens in my son's life.

It doesn't matter how I feel.
You're gonna do whatever you want.

I need a partner,

not some placater,
patronizer husband

who's perfectly willing
to gaslight his wife!

- "Gaslight"?
- Yes!

Do not fucking tell me
that everything is fine

and that I should be happy,
because it's fucking not!

You're supposed
to be on my side!

When the program's finished, we
check in with her to reassess.

It's only fair.

Leanne, won't you come join us?

No, thank you, Mrs.
Turner. I'm fine as I am.

This is a bad idea.

I can smell a bad idea
from three states away,

and this one reeks.

Fortunately, it's
not your decision.

Exactly. Julian, you
have your process.

Don't interfere with theirs.

I know I'm not in a position to
judge irrational decision-making,

but in this case, I am judging
your irrational decision-making.

Okay, babe? This is
not about you, okay?

I appreciate everyone's concern, but
really there's nothing to discuss.

Leanne is leaving today, and
that's just the way it is.

What?

I'm here to take Leanne
to the train station.

Tobe, you're a little early.

Okay, I can just wait in the...

Okay, I have your ticket. And
your confirmation number is here.

And I have the name and the number,
the address of the institute...

- Let me, let me. Okay.
- Okay.

I think it would be best for him
if you say goodbye now, Leanne.

Yes.

Did you even bother to
ask her what she wants?

Leanne knows this is
a rare opportunity.

What the hell is it? Dance
semiotics? You sure this is real?

- It's okay. It's okay.
- It sounds like a scam.

- It's perfectly legitimate.
- Look, your chair.

You know this because of
your 90 minutes of research?

You like this
chair, right? Yeah.

- I think you love this chair.
- You need to calm down.

Veera knows the director of
the institute personally.

Veera used to suck dick for Sudafed.
She's not an authority on anything.

Why are you so dead set
against her leaving?

Can we just step back for a second
and talk instead of yelling?

It's okay.

I'll go, Mr. Turner.
It's only two months.

You're gonna love it.

I promise.

He's poopy.

I was gonna change him,

but I don't think you want
my filthy meth head hands

near his swimsuit area.

This is a complicated situation,
okay, beyond what you think you know.

- There are dynamics at play.
- You just called me a crank whore.

That is not complicated, Julian.

I've done some things that I
wish I could undo, but I can't,

so I own up to them without shame
because shame is the gateway to relapse.

What a dick move to use my
personal history as a weapon.

You're right. I'm not sorry.

Okay, you cannot...

I can't do this again. I can't.

- What the fuck did you do?
- Nothing.

Where the fuck is he?

What do you mean? I put
him in the high chair.

I put him in the high
chair. I didn't do anything.

The cellar.

- Thank God.
- Christ, not this again.

I didn't do anything. I just put
him in the fucking high chair.

Shut up!

- Kitchen!
- You were just there!

I left him in the high
chair. Julian, wait.

- Oh, no.
- I'll check the cameras.

This is toxic groupthink.
We need to call the cops.

How could you turn
your back on him?

What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with you?

Leanne. Hey, are you okay?

- You're losing yourself in this misery.
- Fuck.

You can't keep walking
around like it doesn't exist.

Being the child of shrinks
doesn't make you one.

I'm doing the work. Every day,
I'm working through my bullshit.

And it's not fun, but I do it.

You need to face the worst
pain that you've ever felt

if you honestly
wanna get better.

And I can't help you with that.

I have to protect myself.

Great. Go protect
yourself far away from me.

Shit.

Dorothy?

What the fuck?

Leanne? If we don't leave now, you're
definitely gonna miss your train.

Fuck.

If you're as smart
as I think you are,

you'll get on that
train and not look back.

I'm confused.

Leanne?

Go home, Tobe.

Caterpillars? What the fuck?

Where is my son?

You have ten seconds. You
know what I'm capable of.

He's asleep in the nursery.

He's been there this whole time.

That's impossible.

I've torn this whole house...

Oh, God.

- Baby. Baby.
- Hey.

Okay. Okay.

Veera's gone now.

It was inevitable.

She wasn't right for you.

You're both broken.

But you don't need to be fixed.

Leanne stays.

If Leanne's here, Jericho's
here. So, Leanne stays.

What are you, insane?

She had someone
come in our house,

hide our child from us
like some depraved prank.

She is sick.

I don't wanna lose my son again.

Leanne stays.

No. Sean, there is
a plan in motion.

- You can't do this.
- Leanne,

I would like to apologize
on my wife's behalf.

Don't you dare apologize for me.

But we would all be very grateful if
you would stay for as long as you like.

That would make me very happy.

Thank you for trying to
broaden my horizons, Dorothy.

But I could never leave Jericho.

If I'm not here, anything
could happen to him.
