Tell It Like a Woman (2022) Movie Script
1
[melancholic music]
So beautiful.
Fucking damn this shit.
[mumbles] I can't have
my baby on this wall.
Right here.
Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Shit!
Shut the fuck up, Kim.
I'm over that shit.
[Kim's voice]
I wish I could, Pepcy.
I wish I could.
What's up, homie?
Hey, you all good?
Fuck off.
I'm applying for rehab.
You want to try too?
They got, like, 100 slots.
[indistinct chatter]
What's that?
Three thousand inmates. [scoffs]
That's the fucking...
that's the fucking lottery.
[scoffs]
[Kim's voice]
I'm a numbers girl.
My odds ain't shit.
Shut the fuck up!
I ain't going
to tell your ass no more.
Shut the fuck up.
At least you got
one thing going for you.
What?
You're a 100%
bona fide drug addict.
[scoffs]
Fuck you, Phyllis.
You might as well try.
Take a drug test, what?
Every damn day?
That is, that's, that,
that, that would be bullshit.
Hmm. Yeah, motherfucker,
that's some bullshit.
They say 90% of the people
that graduate the program...
...don't come back in here.
How do you like them,
numbers girl?
[lively music]
-Debra, why you smiling so hard?
You getting out?
-Mm-hmm.
But I want to try
something different this time.
The number 86 is
-Maricela Lopez.
-That's fucking me!
-She probably took my name out.
-No, they didn't it.
She didn't even want to do it.
-I know this-- I know.
-See you, bitches!
Alright.
Number 87 is Kimberly Carter.
-Shit.
-That's you!
They're calling your name.
[mumbles] Get up there!
Go, go!
Nobody needs this
more than you, Pepcy.
Don't mess it up.
[muffled radio chatter]
[Maricela]
It isn't fair
that I can't see my kids.
They put me so far away.
Mi mama can't afford
to bring them.
You should have thought
about your damn kids
while your dumb ass
was out there selling dope!
Calm, calm down.
[soft tense music]
What?
Bitch, what?
What are you crying about?
You should be crying
about your own baby.
Bitch, say it.
-Fuck you crying for?
Tears ain't helped nobody!
-[Laurie] Alright, ladies,
-we're gonna take
five minutes earlier.
-[Javi] Hey, that's enough.
-You'll go back in solitary.
-[Kim] Get off me!
-I'm going no-fucking-where.
-Two minutes. Two!
-Get off of me!
-[Laurie] Give me two minutes.
-You saw what she just did!
-Two minutes, Javi.
-Crap.
-Don't touch me like that!
Take a breath, Kim. Breathe.
-You don't run this,
bitch, I do.
-Breathe.
-Kim.
-Your bitch ass.
Sit.
Sit, sit.
[breathing heavily]
You've been hurt.
So bad.
-Your walls are so thick...
-[panting]
...we can't penetrate them.
[breath shaking]
What happened to you?
[somber music]
What happened to me?
Kim...
[sighs]
[Kim's voice]
My mom would...
-She would leave me upstairs...
-Shut up, Kim.
...when she had to go to work,
or, or, or when
she would go to parties.
The neighbor, Shelly...
...was my babysitter.
I was five.
Mm-hmm.
And she would...
...she would snuggle with me.
And she would give me beers.
And she told me
[shushes] not to tell my mommy.
It would be our little secret.
Shut up, Kim.
[Kim's voice]
She gave me a Barbie doll,
so I gave her a big old hug.
She said I, [stutters]
she said I hugged her so hard,
that I hurt her tittie...
-[sighs]
-...and that I should,
I should kiss it,
and make it feel better.
She pushed her tittie up
to my mouth and she told me to,
-to suck it.
-[Kim] Shut up!
-Shut up.
-[Kim's voice crying] And...
...to pull down her panties.
Get off of me.
[punches the table]
What the fuck happened to me?
When I was a teenager...
...I met Rico...
[sighs]
...the neighborhood dope dealer.
[scoffs]
One day, we're sitting...
That motherfucker!
We're sitting
on an old car seat.
We're in the house.
And this son of a bitch...
...I don't even know
who the fuck he was...
...Johnny from the Jungle,
come and sit his ass
right next to me.
Then he had the nerve
to force himself...
-Shut up!
-...on me.
Then three more...
...three more motherfuckers
lined up...
...touching on me and shit.
All of them,
they laughing.
They all fucked up.
And they got the nerve to put
their motherfucking hands on me.
What gave them the right...
...to do me like that?
[Laurie]
Let it go.
-Yes, baby, let it go.
-[groans softly]
[Laurie]
Let it go.
Okay, let it go.
Yes.
[crying]
We are not going
to try to push God...
-...or happiness on you.
-[sobs]
And to be the best you,
you can be.
-Always.
-We have to find
our higher power, right?
Yes.
[soft music]
Yo,
you're doing a good job.
Kim, you're doing great.
But 90 days
wasn't enough for you.
You need more
mental health counseling,
and you need to check
into a residential program
for at least six months.
-With curfews and shit?
-Of course!
And lots of rules.
But the good news is
I checked in on your mom,
and she's
in a really good place,
and prepared to continue
to take care of your child
while you're recovering.
If you decide to do this,
I need you to sign these papers.
Why are you fucking with me?
You finally get yourself
out of prison
and put your dumb ass
back in another one?
-[Kim] ...I gained a few pounds.
-Oh, no, you look pretty.
And just remember
to breathe through it all.
Breathe.
-I got this.
-You got this.
I got it. I got it.
[softly] I got it. I got it.
[sighs]
[lively music]
Just yank on it.
[engine starts]
Just don't look like
no motherfucking program van.
It's a piece of shit.
And them ain't no motherfucking
program people, neither.
Can't argue with that.
They some health care
professionals?
That bitch ain't no fucking
health care professional.
You don't see this shit?
You really think they taking
you to a fucking program?
You forgot what I taught you.
Motherfucking game don't stop.
Laurie told me.
[sighs]
Alright. Am I...
Girl, you alright?
Motherfucker, you alright?
[indistinct]
...any of this shit.
What if we hop out the door
when, when they pull over?
They get no handles
on these doors.
Dumbass, they ain't let nobody
jump the fuck out of here.
Leave a body on the freeway
in the damn public.
They'll take
your dumb ass to the woods.
[lively music continues]
[sighs]
Nobody won't hear me
out of here.
They going to kill you!
What are you doing?
Bitch. Who you going
to take down first?
I ain't scared of no women.
I've taken down
women bigger than that before.
No, shit!
Bet.
I'm going to go for the man.
I could just jump out the window
when we stop at a red light.
-Bet.
-[mumbles] I'm going
for this motherfucker
at this red light and I can
fuck these motherfuckers up.
If they try to stop you,
if they try
to put their hands on you,
you know what to do.
Shit!
[Kim's voice]
You see this shit?
This is it.
They about to kill you.
Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
You know what to do.
-Fuck them up.
-Go for that man.
Go for that man.
Grab that ponytail.
Watch that bitch
right there too.
Get that shit, Kim.
Motherfuckers ain't looking.
Why don't you get your ass
up there and get the keys?
Because we ain't going
to no woods.
Make your move!
-Stick them
or run into the woods.
-Shit!
[Debra]
Hey, Kim!
I knew you were coming today.
[laughs]
Debra?
From Barnaburg?
Yeah. I'm the receptionist
here now.
Uh, come on inside, we've got
a special room for you.
It's padded. [laughs]
I'm just kidding.
Let me help you out.
[Kim's voice]
Get your ass back here!
I said, Kim!
Kim!
Remember what I taught you.
The fuck is you raising
your hand up at me for?
Bitch, I made you.
Get your ass back here!
Right now!
You need me!
You need me!
[muffled] Come back here!
Come back!
[gentle music]
I am the real Kim Carter.
And where would I be if I
didn't have that second chance?
Everybody needs a second chance.
But when I got mine,
I took it and I ran with it.
I ran so far, I'm standing
here before you today.
Twenty-eight years
clean and sober.
The organization that I founded
has helped 305 children
come from foster care
back with their moms.
As a matter of fact,
we've helped over 1700 women
reach self-sufficiency.
Now, I wasn't able
to be there for my daughter
when she was young,
but I do, I get to repay
that back 'cause I help
these women be there for theirs.
[soft tense music]
[P]
Got the antibiotics?
-Got the Narcan?
-Yes.
Have you eaten lunch today?
-I got an extra.
-Ah, thanks. I'm starving.
-[Tamika] Yeah.
-[P] Had to skip breakfast
because I did
an early morning Botox.
-[Tamika] What?
-I didn't tell you
about my side-hustle?
Pay my neighbor a couple
of shots in his backyard.
-[Tamika] Wait, the hot surfer?
-Mm-hmm.
-[Tamika laughs]
-And he brought me
some more artisanal chocolate.
[both cheering]
[both laughing]
[P]
Alright, if Glacier's here,
we got to check in on him,
-then we've got Maria.
-[Tamika] Uh-huh.
I got a birth control
refill with me.
We can do that before
we dress Val... [indistinct]
[P]
Hey!
[man 1]
But we have a problem, Doctor P.
-[both] Val!
-[P] Oh, yeah.
-What's the problem now?
-[man 1] The cleaning staff
is refusing to go into her room.
They're scared.
Val has way too
many mental issues.
She's not appropriate
for this place.
-Schizophrenia--
-[P] Okay, let's go talk to her.
[man 1] She's filthy,
she doesn't shower,
she doesn't change her clothes,
she goes into off-limit areas
or just trash.
[P]
We'll go talk to her.
Uh, we'll clean her up,
get her in the shower.
-Promised.
-[man 1] I'm going
to follow up later.
-[P] Can I borrow this?
-[man 2] Oh, yeah. Go ahead.
[P]
Thanks! Maybe grab that too.
[man 3]
Yo, you looking for Val?
-[P] Yeah.
-[man 3] I just saw her
up on the roof.
Don't tell anybody, okay?
[P]
Oh.
She's not supposed
to be up there.
[indistinct chatter]
[P]
I want to see the arm
where the wire
-went into her skin.
-Yeah.
[somber music]
[moaning]
[P]
Hey, Val!
Hey!
Doctor P and nurse Tamika.
I have to check on your arm.
-[Val] Leave me alone.
-[P] I can't, Val.
It's my job to check up on you,
so you can stay in the hotel.
Hey! I brought
your cheese puffs.
Prove it.
[P] Hey, Tamika.
You've only been with us
for a couple of weeks now, so...
If you want, you can wait
out here and I can handle it.
[Tamika]
Cool, cool. I, I'll be
over here playing Candy Crush.
-[P] Okay.
-[stutters] Are you crazy?
You're not going
in there without me.
[laughs]
[P laughs] Alright then.
-Can you get that?
-Yeah.
[P]
Alright.
We'll clean this up!
Can you help us?
[Val]
I can't really walk.
My layers are too tight.
[P]
Okay.
Well, we can take care
of all that once we get
this cleaned up, Val.
It's Validation!
Call me by my name.
[soft tense music]
[P]
Okay.
Let's have this all
kind of organized.
Kitchen.
[P]
That's nice.
I'm going to help you
clean up the kitchen.
This can go in the pantry.
Pans in the dishwasher.
[Tamika retching]
[P]
So, Validation,
can I come into your room here?
[chuckles]
[tense music]
That goes in there.
[P]
She needs this.
-Well, it looks great, right?
-[Tamika] It does.
-It does.
-[P] Okay.
Uh, Val, now what we have to do
is we've got to see the,
your arm
-where the wire
went into your wound.
-[Val moans]
[Tamika]
Remember I took
the wire out last week?
We just need
to make sure it's filled up.
[Val moaning]
Uh...
[P]
Okay, so we're gonna have
to take your clothes off.
Uh-uh. I can't take this off
because I need it
for protection.
[P]
Protection from what?
Street.
[P]
But you're not
on the street anymore.
-I got you off the street.
-[Tamika] Yeah,
you're in a nice hotel.
I actually used to party
up here, so they wrapped it all
in plastic.
[moaning]
[imitates choking]
That is the sound of a fish
chocking on a plastic bag.
[P]
Hey.
I'm an eco-warrior too.
Okay, here. It's okay.
It's okay.
We're just gonna unwrap this
one layer at a time.
Okay? And then you can tell us
how you feel.
There we go.
[gentle music]
Okay.
Let's get this down.
We need to cut the sleeve
so I can get to the wound. Okay?
No, no, I'll wait. I'll wait
till I get new clothes.
Do you want me to go downstairs
and get you some fun
new clothes?
Yeah.
[P]
Okay, great.
Then I'm, I'm gonna s--
I'm gonna snip this off.
Take the jacket off. You want
to sit down over here for me?
[sighs]
Uh...
Oh.
A coat hanger.
You've got to stop
using wire to wrap yourself.
That's how you get infected.
Sorry, Doctor P.
[P]
Yeah.
I'm just gonna pull this...
Hold on.
Okay.
I need to get these,
I need to get these layers also.
Let me take your coconut.
Okay, just lean forward
a little bit.
Tamika, let's stand foul up.
[sighs]
[P]
Arms up.
There you go.
Alright. [groans]
[groaning]
[mumbles]
[P]
You know what?
Just gonna cut this off.
No, don't cut the bodysuit.
-[P] Bodysuit? What,
you are Catwoman? [laughs]
-[Tamika] Meow.
[P] Hey, let's just
turn around and see
if we can just pull it up over.
[tense music]
[fabric ripping]
Alright, let's get
this off here.
-Don't cut the bodysuit.
-[P] Hey.
-[Tamika] Ooh.
-[P] It was all frayed.
It's okay.
But these are old and frayed.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I need to get you
another one. [chuckles]
I'm going to get you
another one.
Just tie-dye sparkly. Alright?
-[moans]
-[P] There we go. There we go.
It's okay. It's okay.
-[Val groans]
-[P retches]
Okay, there we go.
Okay.
Can you, can you sit down?
There we go.
Okay.
-[sniffles]
-[P] Okay.
It's not as bad as I thought.
Okay.
Yeah, you just need
to breathe a little, right?
You have to take better care
of yourself, Validation.
Right. I...
I used to take care of everyone.
My all family.
My mom.
[grunts]
My mom.
Her dark hair and pink sweater.
[P]
It's okay.
[crying]
[P]
I understand.
This pandemic is really hard
on everybody.
-But you want
to get cleaned up, right?
-No.
-[laughs]
-[P] Come on,
let's get this off.
-Keep going.
-[gasps]
[gentle music]
[P]
Seen this?
[Val]
But just don't cut Dodgers.
-[P] I won't cut the Dodgers.
-[Tamika] Soy sauce?
[P and Tamika exhales]
[wind whistling]
[P]
Oh.
Okay.
-[exhales]
-[P] I want you to go down
and take a shower.
[Tamika]
And you got
some fun new clothes.
[P]
We'll be waiting
for you downstairs.
Go get cleaned up.
[groans softly]
[sighs]
That was...
...the stinkiest job
I've ever done.
Oh, thank God you said that.
I was hoping this wasn't normal.
Plus you were all up
in that sandbox. [chuckles]
[laughs]
["Wishing Well"
by Jessica Wabbit]
-[P] You're ready?
-[Tamika] I'm ready.
[P]
Alright.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
Every day I tell myself
I'm drowning in wishing well
Every day you fill me up
with hope
Then I remember
Oh, your love is the dope
[vocalizing]
For me
Boy
You
[dramatic music]
-[Mark] Okay. Just let me
read you one more.
-[Ana] We don't have time
-for this.
-"Ana Ackerman is transforming
the shape of the world
as we know it."
-Mark, you're gonna miss
your flight.
-I won't.
ArchDaily says,
"Charming her way to the top."
-Can we move on?
-For Dezeen, you're the most
-provocative architect
of the decade.
-[phone buzzing]
This is a breakthrough
for you and our studio. Okay.
-I'm forwarding you the links.
-Hey, hey, I've got go.
It's Serpentine calling.
-Margaret!
-[Margaret] Ana!
I was just informed
a family matter came up
and you had to leave London.
Yea. Briefly. Look,
I'll be back tomorrow night,
and Mark is on his way there
as we speak.
We'll need you to give
the inaugural speech, though.
No, I know that. Of course.
Look, Margaret, we agreed no
photos before the inauguration.
-The pavilion isn't
even finished yet.
-I know.
Somebody must have leaked them.
There's been so much interest,
-it's impossible
to keep a lid on it.
-[phone buzzing]
Okay. Hey, Margaret.
Hang on a minute.
-Vic.
-[Vic] I have Leslie Weiss
-from The Washington Post.
-Shit. I forgot.
-Look, I've got to cancel.
-We've already canceled
three times.
-It's Sunday's front page.
-I know. I,
-I can't do it right now. Shit!
-[phone buzzing]
-[phone beeps]
-Hey, babe.
[man]
Hey, are you there yet?
-Yeah, I'm on my way.
-You okay?
It's crazy. Everything's crazy
and nobody gives a shit.
Let your team handle it.
-I spoke to Mark
on his way to the airport.
-[car horn honking]
You're gonna have
to trust them on this one.
You'll likely be staying
a couple of days and
I don't think it's a good--
-I don't have a couple of days.
-Well, you're already there,
so you might as well slow down.
Put the house
and the tavern on sale, there's
no one left there anyway.
Yeah, um, I've got to take
this call. Okay?
-[engine revving]
-Okay.
[tires screech]
[tense music]
[panting]
[gentle piano music]
[exhales loudly]
[sighs]
You don't recognize me, do you?
I'm Gianni Chiossone.
They sat you next to me
when you arrived
at the school...
-Ah!
-...in the middle
of the second grade.
-Do you remember?
-Yeah.
Can I see her?
[Ana]
Did she suffer?
[Gianni]
I don't think so.
-Her blood tests show
a cocktail of substances.
-She never learned how to swim.
[indistinct chatter]
[sighs]
[door closes]
[melancholic piano music]
[sighs]
Lena doesn't know yet.
Who's Lena?
Your sister's daughter.
Sara had a daughter?
She should hear it from you.
Where's the father?
There's no father.
I'm all she's got.
I've looked after her
since she was a baby.
And you.
Now, she's got you.
Sara arranged everything.
Arranged what?
The legal papers.
Sara said
if anything happened to her,
I should call Mr. Fassano.
[melancholic music]
[crying]
I don't have a couple of days.
I leave tomorrow,
so let's just talk now.
This is not
the right time or place.
I don't know
what she was thinking,
but this is impossible.
It's a delicate matter.
I'm aware.
But, Sara,
like your mother,
she had her moment of clarity,
and she knew
that something like this
could happen.
And she also knew
you are the best option
for Lena.
Lena doesn't know me.
I don't know Lena.
What was she thinking? Why
would she make me her guardian?
-I can't do this.
-And you are
the only family she's got.
Family?
Don't lecture me about family.
You didn't grow up
with a bat-crazy mother
and a loony sister.
Why do you think I left? Why
do you think I never came back?
Why do you think I didn't
have children of my own?
Because of them!
Just...
Just prepare the paperwork
because I'm leaving.
Do you mind finishing?
-Oh, I--
-I'll fix you two some dinner.
-Oh. Sorry.
-[Lena groans]
[melancholic piano music]
[water bubbling]
[tense music]
-Lena!
-[gasps]
Okay.
[groans]
[Ana] No. Lucas, listen.
Listen, I need to see
the final projected image.
Uh, no, I'm just gonna
wrap everything up here.
Alright.
Tell Vic I'll call him later.
[Carmen]
I'll be sleeping over tonight.
It's late and we live far away.
Yeah, of course.
Can I talk to you, Carmen?
Um...
We can't leave Lena's fate
in the hands of a judge.
It's just not an option.
She loves you. You love her.
You've watched over her
since she was a baby.
-You've protected her--
-Sara never did Lena any harm.
No, of, of course not.
That came out wrong.
What I'm trying to say is
I had a mother like Sara,
so I know what it's like.
[sighs] Look, I...
...can support you financially.
I can wire you money every month
for Lena, for you,
for your children.
You would never have
to work again.
You could move in here
with your family.
-That's not possible.
-Why not?
I thought it's perfect.
Lena gets to stay in her home,
in her hometown
with people who love her,
with family and siblings.
I am not her family.
You are her family.
I can't do this.
I have a whole life
I've got to get back to.
A life without children.
We don't always get to choose
the life we live.
Do you think I chose
to clean other people's houses,
to watch over Sara,
who constantly wanted--
Who was out of her mind.
No.
She was a sad soul.
And she was always that way.
And even if I agreed,
they would never
give me legal custody
and I could lose my own children
if I enter into the system.
You're offering me a dream,
but I cannot take it.
I promised Sara
I'll watch over Lena.
And this is my way of doing so.
By putting her
on the hands of her family.
[dramatic music]
[footsteps receding]
[bell tolling]
[Ana]
Tomorrow morning, I'll stop
by the lawyer's office and sign
whatever I have to sign,
and then I guess I'll deal
with the house later.
I can't stay, I can't stay,
the inauguration is tomorrow.
I've worked my entire career
for a moment like this,
and you think
I'm just gonna blow it off?
I suppose she'll appear
in front of a judge
once Carmen hands her over.
I don't know what's
gonna come of her.
It's not my responsibility.

I will not be able

Right here.
Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Shit!
Shut the fuck up, Kim.
I'm over that shit.
[Kim's voice]
I wish I could, Pepcy.
I wish I could.
What's up, homie?
Hey, you all good?
Fuck off.
I'm applying for rehab.
You want to try too?
They got, like, 100 slots.
[indistinct chatter]
What's that?
Three thousand inmates. [scoffs]
That's the fucking...
that's the fucking lottery.
[scoffs]
[Kim's voice]
I'm a numbers girl.
My odds ain't shit.
Shut the fuck up!
I ain't going
to tell your ass no more.
Shut the fuck up.
At least you got
one thing going for you.
What?
You're a 100%
bona fide drug addict.
[scoffs]
Fuck you, Phyllis.
You might as well try.
Take a drug test, what?
Every damn day?
That is, that's, that,
that, that would be bullshit.
Hmm. Yeah, motherfucker,
that's some bullshit.
They say 90% of the people
that graduate the program...
...don't come back in here.
How do you like them,
numbers girl?
[lively music]
-Debra, why you smiling so hard?
You getting out?
-Mm-hmm.
But I want to try
something different this time.
The number 86 is
-Maricela Lopez.
-That's fucking me!
-She probably took my name out.
-No, they didn't it.
She didn't even want to do it.
-I know this-- I know.
-See you, bitches!
Alright.
Number 87 is Kimberly Carter.
-Shit.
-That's you!
They're calling your name.
[mumbles] Get up there!
Go, go!
Nobody needs this
more than you, Pepcy.
Don't mess it up.
[muffled radio chatter]
[Maricela]
It isn't fair
that I can't see my kids.
They put me so far away.
Mi mama can't afford
to bring them.
You should have thought
about your damn kids
while your dumb ass
was out there selling dope!
Calm, calm down.
[soft tense music]
What?
Bitch, what?
What are you crying about?
You should be crying
about your own baby.
Bitch, say it.
-Fuck you crying for?
Tears ain't helped nobody!
-[Laurie] Alright, ladies,
-we're gonna take
five minutes earlier.
-[Javi] Hey, that's enough.
-You'll go back in solitary.
-[Kim] Get off me!
-I'm going no-fucking-where.
-Two minutes. Two!
-Get off of me!
-[Laurie] Give me two minutes.
-You saw what she just did!
-Two minutes, Javi.
-Crap.
-Don't touch me like that!
Take a breath, Kim. Breathe.
-You don't run this,
bitch, I do.
-Breathe.
-Kim.
-Your bitch ass.
Sit.
Sit, sit.
[breathing heavily]
You've been hurt.
So bad.
-Your walls are so thick...
-[panting]
...we can't penetrate them.
[breath shaking]
What happened to you?
[somber music]
What happened to me?
Kim...
[sighs]
[Kim's voice]
My mom would...
-She would leave me upstairs...
-Shut up, Kim.
...when she had to go to work,
or, or, or when
she would go to parties.
The neighbor, Shelly...
...was my babysitter.
I was five.
Mm-hmm.
And she would...
...she would snuggle with me.
And she would give me beers.
And she told me
[shushes] not to tell my mommy.
It would be our little secret.
Shut up, Kim.
[Kim's voice]
She gave me a Barbie doll,
so I gave her a big old hug.
She said I, [stutters]
she said I hugged her so hard,
that I hurt her tittie...
-[sighs]
-...and that I should,
I should kiss it,
and make it feel better.
She pushed her tittie up
to my mouth and she told me to,
-to suck it.
-[Kim] Shut up!
-Shut up.
-[Kim's voice crying] And...
...to pull down her panties.
Get off of me.
[punches the table]
What the fuck happened to me?
When I was a teenager...
...I met Rico...
[sighs]
...the neighborhood dope dealer.
[scoffs]
One day, we're sitting...
That motherfucker!
We're sitting
on an old car seat.
We're in the house.
And this son of a bitch...
...I don't even know
who the fuck he was...
...Johnny from the Jungle,
come and sit his ass
right next to me.
Then he had the nerve
to force himself...
-Shut up!
-...on me.
Then three more...
...three more motherfuckers
lined up...
...touching on me and shit.
All of them,
they laughing.
They all fucked up.
And they got the nerve to put
their motherfucking hands on me.
What gave them the right...
...to do me like that?
[Laurie]
Let it go.
-Yes, baby, let it go.
-[groans softly]
[Laurie]
Let it go.
Okay, let it go.
Yes.
[crying]
We are not going
to try to push God...
-...or happiness on you.
-[sobs]
And to be the best you,
you can be.
-Always.
-We have to find
our higher power, right?
Yes.
[soft music]
Yo,
you're doing a good job.
Kim, you're doing great.
But 90 days
wasn't enough for you.
You need more
mental health counseling,
and you need to check
into a residential program
for at least six months.
-With curfews and shit?
-Of course!
And lots of rules.
But the good news is
I checked in on your mom,
and she's
in a really good place,
and prepared to continue
to take care of your child
while you're recovering.
If you decide to do this,
I need you to sign these papers.
Why are you fucking with me?
You finally get yourself
out of prison
and put your dumb ass
back in another one?
-[Kim] ...I gained a few pounds.
-Oh, no, you look pretty.
And just remember
to breathe through it all.
Breathe.
-I got this.
-You got this.
I got it. I got it.
[softly] I got it. I got it.
[sighs]
[lively music]
Just yank on it.
[engine starts]
Just don't look like
no motherfucking program van.
It's a piece of shit.
And them ain't no motherfucking
program people, neither.
Can't argue with that.
They some health care
professionals?
That bitch ain't no fucking
health care professional.
You don't see this shit?
You really think they taking
you to a fucking program?
You forgot what I taught you.
Motherfucking game don't stop.
Laurie told me.
[sighs]
Alright. Am I...
Girl, you alright?
Motherfucker, you alright?
[indistinct]
...any of this shit.
What if we hop out the door
when, when they pull over?
They get no handles
on these doors.
Dumbass, they ain't let nobody
jump the fuck out of here.
Leave a body on the freeway
in the damn public.
They'll take
your dumb ass to the woods.
[lively music continues]
[sighs]
Nobody won't hear me
out of here.
They going to kill you!
What are you doing?
Bitch. Who you going
to take down first?
I ain't scared of no women.
I've taken down
women bigger than that before.
No, shit!
Bet.
I'm going to go for the man.
I could just jump out the window
when we stop at a red light.
-Bet.
-[mumbles] I'm going
for this motherfucker
at this red light and I can
fuck these motherfuckers up.
If they try to stop you,
if they try
to put their hands on you,
you know what to do.
Shit!
[Kim's voice]
You see this shit?
This is it.
They about to kill you.
Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
You know what to do.
-Fuck them up.
-Go for that man.
Go for that man.
Grab that ponytail.
Watch that bitch
right there too.
Get that shit, Kim.
Motherfuckers ain't looking.
Why don't you get your ass
up there and get the keys?
Because we ain't going
to no woods.
Make your move!
-Stick them
or run into the woods.
-Shit!
[Debra]
Hey, Kim!
I knew you were coming today.
[laughs]
Debra?
From Barnaburg?
Yeah. I'm the receptionist
here now.
Uh, come on inside, we've got
a special room for you.
It's padded. [laughs]
I'm just kidding.
Let me help you out.
[Kim's voice]
Get your ass back here!
I said, Kim!
Kim!
Remember what I taught you.
The fuck is you raising
your hand up at me for?
Bitch, I made you.
Get your ass back here!
Right now!
You need me!
You need me!
[muffled] Come back here!
Come back!
[gentle music]
I am the real Kim Carter.
And where would I be if I
didn't have that second chance?
Everybody needs a second chance.
But when I got mine,
I took it and I ran with it.
I ran so far, I'm standing
here before you today.
Twenty-eight years
clean and sober.
The organization that I founded
has helped 305 children
come from foster care
back with their moms.
As a matter of fact,
we've helped over 1700 women
reach self-sufficiency.
Now, I wasn't able
to be there for my daughter
when she was young,
but I do, I get to repay
that back 'cause I help
these women be there for theirs.
[soft tense music]
[P]
Got the antibiotics?
-Got the Narcan?
-Yes.
Have you eaten lunch today?
-I got an extra.
-Ah, thanks. I'm starving.
-[Tamika] Yeah.
-[P] Had to skip breakfast
because I did
an early morning Botox.
-[Tamika] What?
-I didn't tell you
about my side-hustle?
Pay my neighbor a couple
of shots in his backyard.
-[Tamika] Wait, the hot surfer?
-Mm-hmm.
-[Tamika laughs]
-And he brought me
some more artisanal chocolate.
[both cheering]
[both laughing]
[P]
Alright, if Glacier's here,
we got to check in on him,
-then we've got Maria.
-[Tamika] Uh-huh.
I got a birth control
refill with me.
We can do that before
we dress Val... [indistinct]
[P]
Hey!
[man 1]
But we have a problem, Doctor P.
-[both] Val!
-[P] Oh, yeah.
-What's the problem now?
-[man 1] The cleaning staff
is refusing to go into her room.
They're scared.
Val has way too
many mental issues.
She's not appropriate
for this place.
-Schizophrenia--
-[P] Okay, let's go talk to her.
[man 1] She's filthy,
she doesn't shower,
she doesn't change her clothes,
she goes into off-limit areas
or just trash.
[P]
We'll go talk to her.
Uh, we'll clean her up,
get her in the shower.
-Promised.
-[man 1] I'm going
to follow up later.
-[P] Can I borrow this?
-[man 2] Oh, yeah. Go ahead.
[P]
Thanks! Maybe grab that too.
[man 3]
Yo, you looking for Val?
-[P] Yeah.
-[man 3] I just saw her
up on the roof.
Don't tell anybody, okay?
[P]
Oh.
She's not supposed
to be up there.

[P]
I want to see the arm
where the wire
-went into her skin.
-Yeah.
[somber music]
[moaning]
[P]
Hey, Val!
Hey!
Doctor P and nurse Tamika.
I have to check on your arm.
-[Val] Leave me alone.
-[P] I can't, Val.
It's my job to check up on you,
so you can stay in the hotel.
Hey! I brought
your cheese puffs.
Prove it.
[P] Hey, Tamika.
You've only been with us
for a couple of weeks now, so...
If you want, you can wait
out here and I can handle it.
[Tamika]
Cool, cool. I, I'll be
over here playing Candy Crush.
-[P] Okay.
-[stutters] Are you crazy?
You're not going
in there without me.
[laughs]
[P laughs] Alright then.
-Can you get that?
-Yeah.
[P]
Alright.
We'll clean this up!
Can you help us?
[Val]
I can't really walk.
My layers are too tight.
[P]
Okay.
Well, we can take care
of all that once we get
this cleaned up, Val.
It's Validation!
Call me by my name.
[soft tense music]
[P]
Okay.
Let's have this all
kind of organized.
Kitchen.
[P]
That's nice.
I'm going to help you
clean up the kitchen.
This can go in the pantry.
Pans in the dishwasher.
[Tamika retching]
[P]
So, Validation,
can I come into your room here?
[chuckles]
[tense music]
That goes in there.
[P]
She needs this.
-Well, it looks great, right?
-[Tamika] It does.
-It does.
-[P] Okay.
Uh, Val, now what we have to do
is we've got to see the,
your arm
-where the wire
went into your wound.
-[Val moans]
[Tamika]
Remember I took
the wire out last week?
We just need
to make sure it's filled up.
[Val moaning]
Uh...
[P]
Okay, so we're gonna have
to take your clothes off.
Uh-uh. I can't take this off
because I need it
for protection.
[P]
Protection from what?
Street.
[P]
But you're not
on the street anymore.
-I got you off the street.
-[Tamika] Yeah,
you're in a nice hotel.
I actually used to party
up here, so they wrapped it all
in plastic.
[moaning]
[imitates choking]
That is the sound of a fish
chocking on a plastic bag.
[P]
Hey.
I'm an eco-warrior too.
Okay, here. It's okay.
It's okay.
We're just gonna unwrap this
one layer at a time.
Okay? And then you can tell us
how you feel.
There we go.
[gentle music]
Okay.
Let's get this down.
We need to cut the sleeve
so I can get to the wound. Okay?
No, no, I'll wait. I'll wait
till I get new clothes.
Do you want me to go downstairs
and get you some fun
new clothes?
Yeah.
[P]
Okay, great.
Then I'm, I'm gonna s--
I'm gonna snip this off.
Take the jacket off. You want
to sit down over here for me?
[sighs]
Uh...
Oh.
A coat hanger.
You've got to stop
using wire to wrap yourself.
That's how you get infected.
Sorry, Doctor P.
[P]
Yeah.
I'm just gonna pull this...
Hold on.
Okay.
I need to get these,
I need to get these layers also.
Let me take your coconut.
Okay, just lean forward
a little bit.
Tamika, let's stand foul up.
[sighs]
[P]
Arms up.
There you go.
Alright. [groans]
[groaning]
[mumbles]
[P]
You know what?
Just gonna cut this off.
No, don't cut the bodysuit.
-[P] Bodysuit? What,
you are Catwoman? [laughs]
-[Tamika] Meow.
[P] Hey, let's just
turn around and see
if we can just pull it up over.
[tense music]
[fabric ripping]
Alright, let's get
this off here.
-Don't cut the bodysuit.
-[P] Hey.
-[Tamika] Ooh.
-[P] It was all frayed.
It's okay.
But these are old and frayed.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I need to get you
another one. [chuckles]
I'm going to get you
another one.
Just tie-dye sparkly. Alright?
-[moans]
-[P] There we go. There we go.
It's okay. It's okay.
-[Val groans]
-[P retches]
Okay, there we go.
Okay.
Can you, can you sit down?
There we go.
Okay.
-[sniffles]
-[P] Okay.
It's not as bad as I thought.
Okay.
Yeah, you just need
to breathe a little, right?
You have to take better care
of yourself, Validation.
Right. I...
I used to take care of everyone.
My all family.
My mom.
[grunts]
My mom.
Her dark hair and pink sweater.
[P]
It's okay.
[crying]
[P]
I understand.
This pandemic is really hard
on everybody.
-But you want
to get cleaned up, right?
-No.
-[laughs]
-[P] Come on,
let's get this off.
-Keep going.
-[gasps]
[gentle music]
[P]
Seen this?
[Val]
But just don't cut Dodgers.
-[P] I won't cut the Dodgers.
-[Tamika] Soy sauce?
[P and Tamika exhales]
[wind whistling]
[P]
Oh.
Okay.
-[exhales]
-[P] I want you to go down
and take a shower.
[Tamika]
And you got
some fun new clothes.
[P]
We'll be waiting
for you downstairs.
Go get cleaned up.
[groans softly]
[sighs]
That was...
...the stinkiest job
I've ever done.
Oh, thank God you said that.
I was hoping this wasn't normal.
Plus you were all up
in that sandbox. [chuckles]
[laughs]
["Wishing Well"

-[P] You're ready?
-[Tamika] I'm ready.
[P]
Alright.
[indistinct chatter]

Every day I tell myself
I'm drowning in wishing well
Every day you fill me up

Then I remember
Oh, your love is the dope

For me
Boy
You
[dramatic music]
-[Mark] Okay. Just let me
read you one more.
-[Ana] We don't have time
-for this.
-"Ana Ackerman is transforming
the shape of the world
as we know it."
-Mark, you're gonna miss
your flight.
-I won't.
ArchDaily says,
"Charming her way to the top."
-Can we move on?
-For Dezeen, you're the most
-provocative architect
of the decade.
-[phone buzzing]
This is a breakthrough
for you and our studio. Okay.
-I'm forwarding you the links.
-Hey, hey, I've got go.
It's Serpentine calling.
-Margaret!
-[Margaret] Ana!
I was just informed
a family matter came up
and you had to leave London.
Yea. Briefly. Look,
I'll be back tomorrow night,
and Mark is on his way there
as we speak.
We'll need you to give
the inaugural speech, though.
No, I know that. Of course.
Look, Margaret, we agreed no
photos before the inauguration.
-The pavilion isn't
even finished yet.
-I know.
Somebody must have leaked them.
There's been so much interest,
-it's impossible
to keep a lid on it.
-[phone buzzing]
Okay. Hey, Margaret.
Hang on a minute.
-Vic.
-[Vic] I have Leslie Weiss
-from The Washington Post.
-Shit. I forgot.
-Look, I've got to cancel.
-We've already canceled
three times.
-It's Sunday's front page.
-I know. I,
-I can't do it right now. Shit!
-[phone buzzing]
-[phone beeps]
-Hey, babe.
[man]
Hey, are you there yet?
-Yeah, I'm on my way.
-You okay?
It's crazy. Everything's crazy
and nobody gives a shit.
Let your team handle it.
-I spoke to Mark
on his way to the airport.
-[car horn honking]
You're gonna have
to trust them on this one.
You'll likely be staying
a couple of days and
I don't think it's a good--
-I don't have a couple of days.
-Well, you're already there,
so you might as well slow down.
Put the house
and the tavern on sale, there's
no one left there anyway.
Yeah, um, I've got to take
this call. Okay?
-[engine revving]
-Okay.
[tires screech]
[tense music]

You don't recognize me, do you?
I'm Gianni Chiossone.
They sat you next to me
when you arrived
at the school...
-Ah!
-...in the middle
of the second grade.
-Do you remember?
-Yeah.
Can I see her?
[Ana]
Did she suffer?
[Gianni]
I don't think so.
-Her blood tests show
a cocktail of substances.
-She never learned how to swim.
[indistinct chatter]
[sighs]
[door closes]
[melancholic piano music]
[sighs]
Lena doesn't know yet.
Who's Lena?
Your sister's daughter.
Sara had a daughter?
She should hear it from you.
Where's the father?
There's no father.
I'm all she's got.
I've looked after her
since she was a baby.
And you.
Now, she's got you.
Sara arranged everything.
Arranged what?
The legal papers.
Sara said
if anything happened to her,
I should call Mr. Fassano.
[melancholic music]
[crying]
I don't have a couple of days.
I leave tomorrow,
so let's just talk now.
This is not
the right time or place.
I don't know
what she was thinking,
but this is impossible.
It's a delicate matter.
I'm aware.
But, Sara,
like your mother,
she had her moment of clarity,
and she knew
that something like this
could happen.
And she also knew
you are the best option
for Lena.
Lena doesn't know me.
I don't know Lena.
What was she thinking? Why
would she make me her guardian?
-I can't do this.
-And you are
the only family she's got.
Family?
Don't lecture me about family.
You didn't grow up
with a bat-crazy mother
and a loony sister.
Why do you think I left? Why
do you think I never came back?
Why do you think I didn't
have children of my own?
Because of them!
Just...
Just prepare the paperwork
because I'm leaving.
Do you mind finishing?
-Oh, I--
-I'll fix you two some dinner.
-Oh. Sorry.
-[Lena groans]
[melancholic piano music]
[water bubbling]
[tense music]
-Lena!
-[gasps]
Okay.
[groans]
[Ana] No. Lucas, listen.
Listen, I need to see
the final projected image.
Uh, no, I'm just gonna
wrap everything up here.
Alright.
Tell Vic I'll call him later.
[Carmen]
I'll be sleeping over tonight.
It's late and we live far away.
Yeah, of course.
Can I talk to you, Carmen?
Um...
We can't leave Lena's fate
in the hands of a judge.
It's just not an option.
She loves you. You love her.
You've watched over her
since she was a baby.
-You've protected her--
-Sara never did Lena any harm.
No, of, of course not.
That came out wrong.
What I'm trying to say is
I had a mother like Sara,
so I know what it's like.
[sighs] Look, I...
...can support you financially.
I can wire you money every month
for Lena, for you,
for your children.
You would never have
to work again.
You could move in here
with your family.
-That's not possible.
-Why not?
I thought it's perfect.
Lena gets to stay in her home,
in her hometown
with people who love her,
with family and siblings.
I am not her family.
You are her family.
I can't do this.
I have a whole life
I've got to get back to.
A life without children.
We don't always get to choose
the life we live.
Do you think I chose
to clean other people's houses,
to watch over Sara,
who constantly wanted--
Who was out of her mind.
No.
She was a sad soul.
And she was always that way.
And even if I agreed,
they would never
give me legal custody
and I could lose my own children
if I enter into the system.
You're offering me a dream,
but I cannot take it.
I promised Sara
I'll watch over Lena.
And this is my way of doing so.
By putting her
on the hands of her family.
[dramatic music]
[footsteps receding]
[bell tolling]
[Ana]
Tomorrow morning, I'll stop
by the lawyer's office and sign
whatever I have to sign,
and then I guess I'll deal
with the house later.
I can't stay, I can't stay,
the inauguration is tomorrow.
I've worked my entire career
for a moment like this,
and you think
I'm just gonna blow it off?
I suppose she'll appear
in front of a judge
once Carmen hands her over.
I don't know what's
gonna come of her.
It's not my responsibility.
