Ginny and Georgia (2021) s03e01 Episode Script
This Wouldn't Even Be a Podcast
1
What happens when everything falls apart?
When the carefully constructed
house of cards finally crumbles?
I can see them
When you're sleeping
The rug can be pulled out
from under you in a second.
I'm gonna find you out
In a crowd
I could spot you
And pick you right out
I'm doing it now
Do you know how?
There's nowhere to run from me now
I'm gonna find you out…
The worst happened.
The bottom fell out.
It's over, but you're still here.
In the deep end
Now I'm sneaking too
I'm gonna find you out
In the crowd
I could spot you
And pick you right out…
There's something terrifying in that.
Because once the cards fall,
there's nothing left to hold up.
The running finally stops.
That's her, whose mom got arrested.
Oh my God. How are you doing?
Are you okay?
I was thinking about you all weekend.
-This sucks.
-Have you spoken to your mom?
She's still… in?
Yeah, she's still in.
None of us have talked to her.
Hey.
Are you okay? How are you doing?
School's fun. I like it here.
Dude, why are you even here today?
We don't have anything to hide.
She didn't do anything.
Obviously. We know that.
And we're on your side no matter what.
But if my mom was arrested
over the weekend,
I wouldn't be at school on Monday.
Once this is all over,
all these small little people
will go back to living
their small little lives.
Yeah, right.
-Gotta go to history. See ya.
-Do you need an escort?
-I got it.
-Whoa. I'm intimidated.
Hello?
What?
You know how my mom is really good friends
with Cynthia Fuller?
-Yeah.
-She says Cynthia is, like, devastated.
Yeah, I bet. Her husband just died.
Please. You don't actually think
Ginny's mom killed someone?
That's insane.
He was sick and then he died.
Now she's unhinged by grief or something.
She's taking it out on Georgia.
No, I know. I just--
Look, no offense to Bev, but come on.
We're Ginny's friends.
I know, I just…
Look, we don't really know what happened.
They arrested her.
And what? They're gonna just do that
for no reason?
-And, like, without evidence?
-All right, calm down SVU.
No, I 100% believe
that Ginny's mom is not a murderer.
Same.
Yes.
Plus, even if she did kill him,
he was, like, dying anyway, so…
This wouldn't even be a podcast.
Tell them, "See you later"
I just keep walking to my own beat
Josh Finn. Your husband hired me.
How are you holding up?
Comfortable?
No, I'm not comfortable.
I've been sleeping in that holding cell
for two nights.
I have no idea what's going on.
Next time, don't get arrested
on a Saturday.
Right, um…
Your arraignment is tomorrow.
That's when the court
will make a decision on bail.
Tomorrow? I have to spend
another night here?
Don't they know I'm the mayor's wife?
What is Paul doing?
Everything he can.
Trust me, he's already done
the smartest thing he can do,
which is hire me.
Now, there is a process here,
and I am on top of that process.
Oh, is there a process?
Well, there is a murder charge,
so, yeah, there is a process.
Good.
So we got Judge Matthews. You know him?
Okay, he's got a grandson
at Wellsbury High.
That could work for us.
You know, he's a family man.
I'm gonna want your kids and your husband
sitting behind you in court.
I don't want my kids there.
I'm not having my kids there.
I don't want them to see this.
Look, I know this is hard.
Do you?
Do you know that?
But it's important for us to show
the judge that you're needed at home.
That you have people on your team.
The more people sitting behind you,
the better.
Gonna want you to draw up a list
of your friends and supporters.
-What do they have on me? Why am I here?
-I'm finding out.
But for now,
we'll enter a plea of not guilty.
I'm not guilty.
Of course.
And then once we have all the information,
we can make a strategy.
What are the chances
I'm going home tomorrow?
Anything above manslaughter
comes with the presumption
of being held without bail.
I'd go to jail?
How long does a trial last?
Could be weeks, could be months.
-Shit.
-Yeah.
And if I'm convicted?
If they decide I'm guilty?
For first degree murder in Massachusetts,
the penalty is life
without the possibility of parole.
-Life?
-Yeah. We're not there yet, okay?
We don't know what they have on you.
You are a mom, you're married
to the mayor, you're a newlywed.
These are all really good things, okay?
We're gonna get you up
in front of a judge,
we'll have your friends
and your kids all looking sad,
and we'll try our very best
to get you home tomorrow.
Okay.
We bought a 20-dollar bottle of rosé…
Yo, Ginny?
Your mom could murder me,
and I'd say thank you.
What the hell, Baker?
-Thanks for that.
-For what?
How's it been?
-Really great. I'm thriving, actually.
-Mmm.
Oh, same. Yeah.
Turns out life is actually very easy.
-Oh great.
-Mmm.
Easy and enjoyable.
You know,
I've always found that to be true.
I like your haircut.
Really, though, you're… okay?
I mean, relatively?
You?
See you later in English, though?
Let's face it
Slow burn's overrated
I been dying to tell
You're my favorite conversation…
Marcus.
Marcus!
-Has Silver said anything about me?
-No.
Oh. We haven't texted
since we kissed at Wellington.
-She's not really a texter, Max.
-Ooh.
That's not gonna fly with me.
Words of affirmation are my love language,
gifts, acts of service,
physical touch, quality time,
and lots of compliments.
-Okay.
-So, what do I do?
You're her friend. You know her.
You guys hang out in Red with the other…
…the other super cool people
who hang out in Red.
And, you know, do I ask her out,
or do I wait for her to ask me out?
Or maybe you invite her to the house.
And then I'm there, and I'm like,
"Oh, what? I'm so pretty."
You're not being very helpful.
Just ask her out, Max.
Yeah, I didn't expect to see her here.
-Mmm.
-Yeah.
Hey.
Gum.
Thanks.
You look nice today.
Thanks.
Oh my God.
Ginny, I heard about your mom
getting arrested. That's so intense.
Nice, Sam.
I really hope you're okay.
Thanks.
I should not have come to school today.
I often feel that way.
-Wanna get out of here?
-Always.
I get up in the evening…
Oh, it's you.
Okay, everyone, settle down.
Let's get started.
Go to page 57.
I'll wait.
Man, I'm just tired
And bored with myself
Hey there, baby
I could use…
I… am not doing okay.
Mm-mm.
Everyone thinks my family's crazy.
-What are you doing here?
-We had F block free.
-Abigail.
-Nancy.
Ginny, hi. How you doing?
I'm… fine.
Do you have a client today?
She canceled.
Everybody's family is crazy.
Can I talk my shit?
Your mom's going through a divorce.
It's understandable.
My parents broke up
for the third time, I was, like, ten,
and Georgia didn't get out of sweats
for, like, a week.
Your mom's gonna be okay.
She's gonna be okay.
Yeah.
I've been in the house spinning out
If I tell you something right now,
can you not judge me?
I am not in the position to judge anyone.
I've been hooking up with Press.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh my God.
-You're judging me.
-Oh my God!
-Kinda. Sorry.
-Oh!
Okay, I'm sorry. That's--
How… how's that going?
I've known him forever.
I've known him since, like, seventh grade.
We used to call him Pressy.
Aw.
Stop!
Do you… do you like him?
No, obviously not. It's Press.
Wait, but why are you
hooking up with Press?
I don't know. I genuinely don't know.
I think it's because I'm bored.
And he's mean, and he's funny,
and I like that.
And he's got a nice body.
He's so big.
-Yeah, I know.
-He's like…
You know? Like…
-Is the sex good?
-Ew. We do not have sex.
It's not like that.
It's just, like, making out stuff,
other stuff, and I don't…
Are you going to have sex with him?
Probably not.
-Should I?
-I can't--
No, I cannot believe
you are hooking up with Press.
-Yeah.
-It's Press.
-No, I know.
-He's evil.
He's so evil, dude.
But so am I.
-No, you aren't.
-Yes, I am.
-No. You are a little sweetie.
-It's okay, I like it though.
-You're a little sweetie pie.
-Don't take this from me.
Ow! Stop.
I am evil, Miller, and don't forget it.
That hurt, you bitch.
Good.
Was Norah being weird today? About…
you know.
God. Oh, this sucks.
-This sucks so hard.
-I know.
You know what?
Her mom's just kind of like…
I don't know,
Bev's a little uptight sometimes.
Yeah.
-Moms, eh?
-Moms.
Like, how much do you wanna bet
there wasn't any coffee in that mug?
I just-- I don't understand how people
trust her with their mental health.
I should really call my therapist.
I'm so dramatic
Acting like
I'm drowning on the Titanic…
Hey. Where is Abs and Ginny?
They weren't in English.
They skipped. They're at Abby's.
Crazy about Ginny's mom.
I saw her earlier. She looked awful.
-Should I text her or something?
-Oh yeah. Trauma DM.
Slide in there, bro.
I would have skipped with her,
if she asked me.
Yeah.
Ginny and Abby have gotten, like, closer.
Have you noticed that?
Kinda, yeah.
Oh my God, Max.
I just heard what happened.
-Is Ginny okay?
-Yeah.
I mean, no, but…
-I feel so bad.
-Yeah.
The cops just came in and took her mom.
It was like a TV show.
Um…
Did they cuff her?
Yes. It was like a real, true arrest.
They put her in a cop car
and drove her away.
Honestly, City Hall's, like,
three blocks away from the station,
so that was a little theatrical.
But, yeah, it was awful.
Like, really, really awful.
I'm so sorry.
I hope she's okay.
Mmm.
-Silver's looking at you.
-Yeah, well, that's what us lesbians do.
We just stare at each other
and nothing ever happens.
And then we think about it forever.
I just want your loving…
Okay.
-Hi, Silver.
-Hi.
Um, do you wanna come over later?
To hang out?
Yeah.
Okay. Sure.
Okay.
Yay. Fun.
Cool.
Great.
Okay.
That's gross, by the way.
-What?
-You telling them about it.
The vultures.
We're her friends.
You're not the only one
who cares about Ginny.
Don't make this about you, Max.
I'm not.
So, Ginny…
Yeah.
You asked for an emergency session?
It's so ridiculous.
My mom was arrested
for murdering a man I never even met.
I mean, I knew Cynthia,
but I don't know Tom.
I mean, I don't know.
I… I never know. Ever.
I'm very sorry to hear about your mom.
It's gotta be
a really difficult situation for you.
How are you feeling?
Peachy.
I'm scared.
I don't want my mom to go to prison.
I'm just feeling so much.
And I don't know how to process it all.
And…
I want to burn.
And I feel like I will.
But, uh…
it's just a matter of when.
Okay.
It's good that you're identifying.
Relapse is part of recovery,
and that's why we plan for it.
What happens when you relapse?
Um…
I give myself a window.
To cry about it. Rage about it.
And then what?
I reflect.
What happened? Did you enact your plan?
What is your plan?
Distract.
Move my body.
Go for a run, um…
Remove myself and prioritize my peace.
And talk about it.
We're only as sick as the secrets we keep.
Secrets hold power.
Tell me about it.
See?
You know what to do.
You knew you were in crisis,
and you called me.
That was right. You're growing.
Take it one day at a time,
or sometimes, even one minute at a time.
And no matter what happens, Ginny,
you're gonna be okay.
Mrs. Randolph,
your husband's here to see you.
Paul.
Paul.
Shh. It's okay.
It's gonna be okay.
I don't know what's happening.
I talked to your fancy lawyer.
And he said all this scary stuff
about life with no parole.
-That's not gonna happen.
-Well, I don't know what's going on.
I've been in here two nights already,
and now I gotta stay in here again?
What the hell?
What good is being married to the mayor
if you can't keep me out of jail?
I don't know why they arrested me,
or what they have on--
Just… calm down, okay?
Oh, thank you. "Calm down."
Why didn't I think of that?
I could just calm down.
Well, thanks, Paul. Now I got
a bird's eye view on the whole situation.
We are going to get you out of here.
We are going to get you answers.
Josh Finn is the best there is,
and I will never let
anything bad happen to you.
Do you regret marrying me?
No.
Mr. Randolph, sir, no contact.
I brought you some fresh clothes.
And if you tell me what you wanna wear
tomorrow for the arraignment,
I can bring that too.
The arraignment, Paul!
The fancy lawyer says
Ginny and Austin should be there.
You gotta bring 'em here.
I don't want the first time they see me
to be in that courtroom.
I have to see 'em before.
Sir, I have to insist.
Paul, you gotta pull the strings
and grease whatever
the hell you gotta grease, okay?
I have to see my kids.
I have to talk to Ginny and Austin
before they see me in the courtroom.
-Please. Paul, please.
-I'll try.
Happy?
What do you think happens now, huh?
Didn't think this through.
God, you're so stupid.
I loved you.
I took care of you.
You think
anyone else is going to love you?
A high school dropout whore with two kids?
How are you gonna support them?
How could you do this to Austin?
What's he gonna think when
I don't come home? Did you think of that?
God, Georgia, you are so selfish.
We're leaving.
What?
We're leaving.
No.
You can't leave.
Georgia, he's my son.
Georgia.
Georgia.
Somebody stop her.
Georgia, you need me! Austin needs me!
He's my son!
He's my son!
Here you go.
You good?
Any news?
Ginny, hey. Um…
How was school?
You didn't have to go, you know.
Could have stayed home like Austin did.
Well, we have nothing to hide.
Okay.
As far as news,
we can visit her today, if you want.
And her arraignment is tomorrow.
What does that mean?
Does she get to come home?
I don't know.
You know, the lawyer said that for a, um…
for this kind of charge, uh…
I don't know.
-Okay, well, I wanna see her.
-Me too.
Okay.
Great. Well, we have to remember that
this is gonna be really hard for your mom,
so it's important
that we stay upbeat, okay?
Positive, um, encouraging.
Maybe a touch more encouraging.
What happens if she goes to jail?
Do they have gangs in there?
Do they make weapons
out of shoelaces and stuff?
-Okay, maybe let's not ask that.
-Does she even have soap?
Or toothpaste? Or tampons?
Do they give you deodorant
when you get arrested?
Okay, yeah, this is good. You know what?
Let's get all of these out now.
Uh, you got any more?
Oh, we should take her this.
Okay.
Encouraging.
Encouraging.
I'm fine, okay? Mom's good.
You don't need to worry about me.
How are you guys? You okay?
Do they have gangs in there?
Do they make, like,
weapons out of shoelaces?
Do you have deodorant?
Listen, the fancy lawyer thinks
it's important
for you guys
to be at the arraignment, okay?
You don't have to come if you don't wanna.
Mom, we're going.
Okay. It's to show
that I'm needed at home.
Well, I can say that Paul is pretty much
a stranger and that we need our mom.
I could say that he smells really bad.
Or that he doesn't feed us.
We're not trying to get me arrested too.
The judge is Judge Matthews.
He's got a grandson at your school.
Do you know him?
Ugh. Tucker Matthews? Yeah, he's a dick.
Anything more helpful?
Marcus shoved him
into a locker this morning.
I don't think that's helpful.
You know his wife, Patty Matthews.
She's a member of the Neighborhood Club.
Oh, is she the one who's always making
those disgusting mini pies?
Okay. What else do we know?
I golf with Judge Matthews.
Does he love golf?
Mmm. He loves
not being at home with Patty.
Oh…
It's okay, buddy. All right?
We're gonna get your mom out of here.
We all know that she didn't do this.
Um, these are for you,
for the arraignment tomorrow.
It's something modest.
That's what the lawyer said.
Thank you.
-You okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Peach.
You're burning?
I haven't.
Good.
Have you talked to Dr. Lily?
I did. Don't worry.
You know
you can't tell her everything. Right?
You have to be careful. With everyone.
You ready?
Ta-da!
Your therapist said
you should start doing things you love,
and your dad noticed you were running out
of wall space in your bedroom,
so… it's an art studio.
Thanks, Mom.
Come on.
It's pretty cool.
No, I… I like it. It's…
Thanks. I like it.
You know, you're doing
your sleep schedule,
and you cleaned your room,
and you're showering,
which is great 'cause things were getting
kind of smelly for a minute there, so…
Yeah, we're, uh… we're doing the things.
That's all we can do.
Thanks, Mom.
I don't…
wanna feel this way.
I know.
It's all about the steps. Right?
Can't check your place
Can't take one look at my pretty face
When it's all 'bout you
And who's to blame
You don't care about me, babe
Yeah, that's
Literally not my name
That's literally not my name
That's literally not my name
That's literally not my name…
Come in!
-Hi.
-Hi.
Welcome to my humble abode.
I like it.
Our parents let us do
whatever we want with our rooms, so…
-The pillows?
-Mm-hmm.
Yeah, there's been a lot of hot debate
between my dad and I
on if it's "bitch, relax,"
or "relax, bitch."
Yeah, my dad would
never let me have these.
He's, like, super religious.
Oh.
What's that like?
Um, my sister and I were
only ever allowed to watch VeggieTales.
-What is VeggieTales?
-Oh, you're so lucky you don't know.
I always wanted a sister.
I thought it'd be really cool
to have a twin.
Oh, it is. It's super cool.
It's weird 'cause, like,
you know them better than anyone else.
But also, sometimes they're dicks.
Hey! Oh!
Silver, hey. I didn't know you were here.
Hi, Mrs. Baker.
What you gals up to?
Mother.
It's just normally you're here for Marcus.
You know, so it's different.
Is that all, Mom?
Okay. All right,
I'm just gonna let you hang.
Okay.
I love your mom.
Yeah, she's fun.
Dad?
Hey, I thought
you guys could use a hot meal.
Hey, buddy.
-How is she?
-Um…
Oh, she's Mom. She's the same.
So, Gummy Bear,
tonight is supposed to be the first night
of that poetry class I signed you up for.
You know, the Oak Hill Prep one?
-Guess I'm not going to that.
-Yeah, definitely.
-You got too much going on.
-Yeah.
-You shouldn't go.
-I know.
Except…
-What?
-Nothing.
Dad, what?
It might be nice
to get out of Wellsbury for a night.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
You can skip the first class.
Hey, why do you like poetry again?
Because, I don't know,
it makes me feel better.
Okay, so, hey, maybe you should go.
Dad…
I just got back from visiting my mom
at the local lockup.
You can take my bike.
Realize that your shadow
Was floating all around…
Girl
Tell me something I don't already know
How you track me down
Baby, don't
Something stuck…
Oh, come on!
I don't wanna move.
We're gonna be staying with your dad.
You like your dad.
Does this mean you and Dad
are getting back together?
No, honey, we're just friends.
He's just helping us out.
I don't wanna go to a school
where I don't know anyone.
Hey, this is for the best, Virginia.
When you're older, you'll understand.
If this is for the best,
why hasn't Austin said a word
since Gil went away?
Gil's in Azkaban, right?
With all the other wizards
who broke wizarding laws,
like Sirius Black.
Okay, come on.
Where's your sense of adventure?
I said why-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y, yeah
Oh…
Shit.
Hello! I am Mr. Kay.
My pronouns are he, him.
I will answer to Kay,
but you can also call me His Sovereignty,
or Lord of Light.
You are all here tonight
because you have something in common.
Mmm, we're gifted.
You're seeking extra stimulation
in the arts and sciences.
You have curious minds.
Or your parents forced you to come.
Either way, you are here now.
So, what is poetry?
It's not a trick question, I swear.
What is poetry?
There are no right answers.
Don't you mean there are no wrong answers?
There are plenty of wrong answers.
What's your name?
-Wolfe.
-Wolfe.
Okay, Wolfe. Go on. What is poetry?
Yes.
Words that are arranged for meaning,
sound, or rhythm.
Yes. Poetry is words.
-Very good…
-Alice.
Thank you, Alice. What's your name?
-Me?
-I thought you might know.
I'm…
Gia.
Okay, Gia. What do you think of
when you think of poetry?
I guess I can't say "words" again.
Um…
It's a form of expression.
A way to make sense of your feelings.
Words and feelings. Very poetic.
Your first assignment
will be to write a poem about poetry.
Meta.
This is gonna be a good class. I can tell.
And how was school today?
Boring. The same.
Except Georgia's, like, a Bravo celebrity,
and everyone's obsessed with her.
Why can't everyone
just mind their own business?
Yes, why would they discuss the murderer
you're best friends with?
So tiring. So pedantic.
She's not a murderer.
She's probably not a murderer.
Okay, obviously, I don't condone murder,
or think that Georgia's a murderer.
But also, is murder really that bad?
Like, all the time?
'Cause he was dying already.
He was suffering.
I think Cynthia did it
and is blaming it on Georgia.
Yes. It's always the wife.
Have you talked to Ginny?
The arraignment's tomorrow.
I'm gonna go to support Georgia.
-I wanna come.
-Me too.
No. You're not skipping school.
-It's important.
-Mom.
I said "no."
Anyways, what's going on with Silver?
Who?
You know her. She's friends with Marcus.
She's kinda punky.
Mom, "punky"?
Like, edgy and cool.
Oh my God.
So, what did you two get up to?
Oh, um, we scissored. It was magical.
Hey, be appropriate.
Does this mean
that Sophie is out of the picture?
Yes. Definitely.
-You should check in with her.
-Sophie?
Ginny.
I know this is hard,
what's going on across the street.
But I want you to prioritize
taking care of yourself. Okay?
I know, Dad.
Just one look at the party
And I'm making plans
Can we skip to the part
Where we're touching hands
But if it never starts
Then I'm back to my head again
And I know
Back to Ohio
Places that I go
Alone
Taking trips
That never leave my head
Talking to myself
With liquor on my breath
And I'm back at the party
With all of your friends
And I get up the courage
To ask you to dance
And I push through the crowd
To find I missed my chance again…
Well, this isn't how I thought
I'd be spending my honeymoon.
Yeah.
I still don't know what to think. I mean…
It's Georgia, you know?
So… so anything is possible, right?
I know… I know that, but…
I mean, murdering Cynthia's husband?
I mean…
Why?
I mean, that is… that is insane.
That… that's stupid.
And Georgia is not stupid, so…
So I wanna believe that this is all
just one big mistake, you know, but, um…
if I'm being honest, I…
I don't know.
Do you think she did this?
Look, Georgia's been through a lot.
She's had it rough
with all the shit she's been dealt.
But she's the strongest person I know.
And she does the hard things
that other people can't do.
-Holy shit, you think she did this.
-I think I don't know.
Look, I would understand
why someone would do it.
She doesn't even like Cynthia.
I made you dinner.
There's enough for a few nights, so…
Hey.
It's okay.
I washed out all my energy
On splitting hairs
Pushed myself to reinvent
What maybe wasn't there
To identify
A common thread
'Fore I cross the line
Just to pass the test…
This is the first place I ever smoked.
That's either cute or disturbing.
Me and my best friend Bridge
used to come here a lot.
Mmm.
Never had that growing up, a best friend.
We moved too much.
If you could wish for anything
in the world, what would it be?
A new butt.
Mine has a crack in it.
Is this you?
It's…
That was… Bridge Anderson…
my friend who got… cancer. Um…
I haven't been back here since he died.
I'm sorry.
We're not doing so great, huh?
I can't believe my mom is in jail.
I always knew it was possible,
even as a kid.
I don't know, she just seemed…
untouchable.
All the lights on you
We give ourselves a shining start
All alone
All alone
Mom, we're hungry.
This life story of mine
Beliefs and hopes all are dying
In the corner of my mind
Watch your brother.
You see, my mama was a bad seed
Just could feel her own needs
She took a good man, my daddy
Put him six feet in the grave
Yes, she did now
Hey, my mama was a bad seed…
Ma'am, you need a table?
It'll just take a minute to clear.
Oh, that's all right. I'm just gonna order
at the counter real quick.
And this is what she said…
Hi. I ordered two chocolate chip cookies
for dessert.
I'm just at the table over there
being cleared.
We already paid, but I was wondering
if I could get them to-go instead.
You know, I know our waitress is busy,
but we're in a bit of a hurry, so…
Sorry about that.
It's crazy in here today.
But if the truth was told
The whole town would know
That she is living her life
-Here you go.
-Thank you.
Nobody had seen
That evil was in her eyes
Even her…
Mrs. Randolph, you have a visitor.
Hey, G.
Big day today.
It's delicious you being in here.
I got an apartment.
Mm-hmm.
In Watertown.
Since you and Cynthia blocked me
from getting one in Wellsbury.
But I wanted to make sure
that I wasn't too far from Austin.
I want you to know
that, um, if they find you guilty…
and I think we both know that you, uh…
…you're probably guilty.
I'm really, really gonna love
the dramatic irony here.
You knowing that your son
is out there in the world without you.
Wondering what he thinks about you.
If… he thinks about you.
You are not this innocent young bride,
this tragic figure.
You are a bitch!
And everyone sees it now.
You are done for, G.
I'm the devil and I speed
With the pedal on the gas
And I think I like the fa--
Ha-ha-ha
I'm the devil
Did they tell you…
Good talk.
Really good talk.
Someone write my new name down
Someone write my new name down
Ha-ha-ha
Someone write my new name down…
Good luck today.
Someone write my new name down
Ha-ha
Way down I go
Got a one-way ticket
And the devil waitin'
Call from down low
Naive, I know
Pu-pu-pu-pull me back down
Through the fire
Write my name down for the hire
I hear the bones
In the devil retired
So someone write my new name down
'Cause I'm the devil
I'm the devil and I speed
With the pedal on the gas
And I think I like the fa--
Ha-ha-ha
Did they tell you I'm the devil?
Put your faith in another life past
Ha-ha-ha
I'm the devil and I speed
I'm the devil, put your faith
In another life past
Wedding dress is a nice touch.
I'm an innocent young bride.
-All rise.
-Here we go, up.
All persons having anything to
do before the Honorable Judge Matthews,
draw near, give your attendance,
and you shall be heard.
God save the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Please be seated.
Judge, hi!
-How's your wife, Patty?
-Hey. Not… not now.
-What are we doing, counsel?
-Arraignment for murder one.
This case is absurd, Your Honor.
It's a political maneuver
against my client's husband.
-I wanna be heard as to bail.
-It's a murder case.
We have a formal motion
for release pending trial.
Maybe counsel didn't hear me.
This is ridiculous, Your Honor.
Counsel knows this is a murder charge.
We're not releasing on bail.
How long is this gonna take?
We could do it the quickly way,
or the other not quickly at all way.
Defense is mistaken if he thinks
he can bully his way out of this.
My client was arrested
on the night of her wedding.
The woman spent the weekend in lockup.
If anyone's being bullied here, it's her.
Now, she's a mother.
She's married to the mayor.
She works at his office.
She's active in the community.
She owns property.
She's got two kids in the school system.
She isn't going anywhere.
Bail's a reasonable request.
She's needed at home.
Defense is painting
a lovely story, Your Honor,
but the fact is, we believe Ms. Miller…
Mrs. Randolph.
…to be a serious flight risk.
She's only been in town a little while.
She has a history of transient movement.
We think bail would be irresponsible.
All right,
this… this bickering needs to stop.
Let's move this along.
Your Honor, how is Patty?
I know her from the Neighborhood Club.
-She makes those incredible mini pies.
-Sh--
My daughter, Ginny, she's in school
with your grandson, Tucker.
She likes him a lot.
That's my son, Austin.
I need to be home, sir.
Paul's mayor. He's busy.
He's gotta be important like you.
He might know how to hit a birdie,
but he doesn't know how to pack a lunch.
I'm gonna release you on bail.
But I hear counsel's concern,
and I think it's valid.
Mrs. Randolph,
you will be on house arrest,
monitored with an ankle bracelet
until trial.
Thank you, Judge.
All rise.
It's a strange feeling
to see a moment
when your life changes forever.
To recognize it.
To know that you could never go back
to the way it was before.
Look, it's gonna be okay, all right?
Paul will have an update soon.
This is him.
Paul.
What do you know?
You said you didn't tell anyone.
What didn't you tell?
Mom did it? She killed Zach's dad?
I saw her.
Ginny!
Okay. Okay.
Okay, you cannot tell anyone.
Do you understand me?
You can never tell.
Is Mom gonna go away…
like my dad did?
Come here. Come here.
Now I don't think anything
will ever be the same.
Oh
Oh
Time moves slow
Time moves slow
I couldn't speed up if I tried
Hi, Peach.
So?
I really, really like my bed.
That's…
That's it?
What do you want me to say?
You can't just throw glitter at this
and call it a day, Mom.
You were arrested for murder.
God!
Do you get it? Do you finally get it?
Of course I get it.
I'm terrified.
Is that what you wanna hear?
I don't have a plan,
I don't know what's gonna happen.
I might go to prison for life.
I'm absolutely out of my mind terrified.
Then why?
Why would you think
that this is okay for you to do?
Oh my God. Am I the villain?
Okay, good. Perfect, I'll be the villain.
You killed him!
He was dying. He was suffering.
That is not your decision to make.
And what about Kenny?
Was he suffering too?
That was to protect you. You know that.
Okay. And what about the other one?
Anthony Green?
How many are there?
Just three.
"Just"?
"Just three"?
"Just three"?
Do you even hear yourself?
God, maybe you do belong in prison.
Austin saw you do it.
He saw you kill him.
I didn't do it.
Don't bullshit me. I know you did.
No, not that.
I didn't protect you.
I failed.
I ruined your life.
I wanted to give you a good life.
To open every door for you
that never opened for me.
And I failed.
I ruined it. I ruined everything!
No. No, Mom.
And now you guys,
your whole future… And I did it.
It wasn't some outside force, it was me.
I did it.
I didn't protect you.
I'm a bad mom.
No.
No.
Well, you're my mom.
And you did protect us.
Called to the Devil
And the Devil did come
I said to the Devil
"Devil, do you like drums?"
"Do you like cigarettes
Dominoes, rum?"
He said
"Only sundown, Sundays, Christmas"
Some days end
When I need a few friends
Now and again
I could never hope to keep them
Thought to give friends
What I thought that they wanted
Never had they needed
A good friend…
Your glasses, Harry.
See? We can do it.
It's us against the world.
It's us against the world, remember?
What happens when everything falls apart?
When the carefully constructed
house of cards finally crumbles?
I can see them
When you're sleeping
The rug can be pulled out
from under you in a second.
I'm gonna find you out
In a crowd
I could spot you
And pick you right out
I'm doing it now
Do you know how?
There's nowhere to run from me now
I'm gonna find you out…
The worst happened.
The bottom fell out.
It's over, but you're still here.
In the deep end
Now I'm sneaking too
I'm gonna find you out
In the crowd
I could spot you
And pick you right out…
There's something terrifying in that.
Because once the cards fall,
there's nothing left to hold up.
The running finally stops.
That's her, whose mom got arrested.
Oh my God. How are you doing?
Are you okay?
I was thinking about you all weekend.
-This sucks.
-Have you spoken to your mom?
She's still… in?
Yeah, she's still in.
None of us have talked to her.
Hey.
Are you okay? How are you doing?
School's fun. I like it here.
Dude, why are you even here today?
We don't have anything to hide.
She didn't do anything.
Obviously. We know that.
And we're on your side no matter what.
But if my mom was arrested
over the weekend,
I wouldn't be at school on Monday.
Once this is all over,
all these small little people
will go back to living
their small little lives.
Yeah, right.
-Gotta go to history. See ya.
-Do you need an escort?
-I got it.
-Whoa. I'm intimidated.
Hello?
What?
You know how my mom is really good friends
with Cynthia Fuller?
-Yeah.
-She says Cynthia is, like, devastated.
Yeah, I bet. Her husband just died.
Please. You don't actually think
Ginny's mom killed someone?
That's insane.
He was sick and then he died.
Now she's unhinged by grief or something.
She's taking it out on Georgia.
No, I know. I just--
Look, no offense to Bev, but come on.
We're Ginny's friends.
I know, I just…
Look, we don't really know what happened.
They arrested her.
And what? They're gonna just do that
for no reason?
-And, like, without evidence?
-All right, calm down SVU.
No, I 100% believe
that Ginny's mom is not a murderer.
Same.
Yes.
Plus, even if she did kill him,
he was, like, dying anyway, so…
This wouldn't even be a podcast.
Tell them, "See you later"
I just keep walking to my own beat
Josh Finn. Your husband hired me.
How are you holding up?
Comfortable?
No, I'm not comfortable.
I've been sleeping in that holding cell
for two nights.
I have no idea what's going on.
Next time, don't get arrested
on a Saturday.
Right, um…
Your arraignment is tomorrow.
That's when the court
will make a decision on bail.
Tomorrow? I have to spend
another night here?
Don't they know I'm the mayor's wife?
What is Paul doing?
Everything he can.
Trust me, he's already done
the smartest thing he can do,
which is hire me.
Now, there is a process here,
and I am on top of that process.
Oh, is there a process?
Well, there is a murder charge,
so, yeah, there is a process.
Good.
So we got Judge Matthews. You know him?
Okay, he's got a grandson
at Wellsbury High.
That could work for us.
You know, he's a family man.
I'm gonna want your kids and your husband
sitting behind you in court.
I don't want my kids there.
I'm not having my kids there.
I don't want them to see this.
Look, I know this is hard.
Do you?
Do you know that?
But it's important for us to show
the judge that you're needed at home.
That you have people on your team.
The more people sitting behind you,
the better.
Gonna want you to draw up a list
of your friends and supporters.
-What do they have on me? Why am I here?
-I'm finding out.
But for now,
we'll enter a plea of not guilty.
I'm not guilty.
Of course.
And then once we have all the information,
we can make a strategy.
What are the chances
I'm going home tomorrow?
Anything above manslaughter
comes with the presumption
of being held without bail.
I'd go to jail?
How long does a trial last?
Could be weeks, could be months.
-Shit.
-Yeah.
And if I'm convicted?
If they decide I'm guilty?
For first degree murder in Massachusetts,
the penalty is life
without the possibility of parole.
-Life?
-Yeah. We're not there yet, okay?
We don't know what they have on you.
You are a mom, you're married
to the mayor, you're a newlywed.
These are all really good things, okay?
We're gonna get you up
in front of a judge,
we'll have your friends
and your kids all looking sad,
and we'll try our very best
to get you home tomorrow.
Okay.
We bought a 20-dollar bottle of rosé…
Yo, Ginny?
Your mom could murder me,
and I'd say thank you.
What the hell, Baker?
-Thanks for that.
-For what?
How's it been?
-Really great. I'm thriving, actually.
-Mmm.
Oh, same. Yeah.
Turns out life is actually very easy.
-Oh great.
-Mmm.
Easy and enjoyable.
You know,
I've always found that to be true.
I like your haircut.
Really, though, you're… okay?
I mean, relatively?
You?
See you later in English, though?
Let's face it
Slow burn's overrated
I been dying to tell
You're my favorite conversation…
Marcus.
Marcus!
-Has Silver said anything about me?
-No.
Oh. We haven't texted
since we kissed at Wellington.
-She's not really a texter, Max.
-Ooh.
That's not gonna fly with me.
Words of affirmation are my love language,
gifts, acts of service,
physical touch, quality time,
and lots of compliments.
-Okay.
-So, what do I do?
You're her friend. You know her.
You guys hang out in Red with the other…
…the other super cool people
who hang out in Red.
And, you know, do I ask her out,
or do I wait for her to ask me out?
Or maybe you invite her to the house.
And then I'm there, and I'm like,
"Oh, what? I'm so pretty."
You're not being very helpful.
Just ask her out, Max.
Yeah, I didn't expect to see her here.
-Mmm.
-Yeah.
Hey.
Gum.
Thanks.
You look nice today.
Thanks.
Oh my God.
Ginny, I heard about your mom
getting arrested. That's so intense.
Nice, Sam.
I really hope you're okay.
Thanks.
I should not have come to school today.
I often feel that way.
-Wanna get out of here?
-Always.
I get up in the evening…
Oh, it's you.
Okay, everyone, settle down.
Let's get started.
Go to page 57.
I'll wait.
Man, I'm just tired
And bored with myself
Hey there, baby
I could use…
I… am not doing okay.
Mm-mm.
Everyone thinks my family's crazy.
-What are you doing here?
-We had F block free.
-Abigail.
-Nancy.
Ginny, hi. How you doing?
I'm… fine.
Do you have a client today?
She canceled.
Everybody's family is crazy.
Can I talk my shit?
Your mom's going through a divorce.
It's understandable.
My parents broke up
for the third time, I was, like, ten,
and Georgia didn't get out of sweats
for, like, a week.
Your mom's gonna be okay.
She's gonna be okay.
Yeah.
I've been in the house spinning out
If I tell you something right now,
can you not judge me?
I am not in the position to judge anyone.
I've been hooking up with Press.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh my God.
-You're judging me.
-Oh my God!
-Kinda. Sorry.
-Oh!
Okay, I'm sorry. That's--
How… how's that going?
I've known him forever.
I've known him since, like, seventh grade.
We used to call him Pressy.
Aw.
Stop!
Do you… do you like him?
No, obviously not. It's Press.
Wait, but why are you
hooking up with Press?
I don't know. I genuinely don't know.
I think it's because I'm bored.
And he's mean, and he's funny,
and I like that.
And he's got a nice body.
He's so big.
-Yeah, I know.
-He's like…
You know? Like…
-Is the sex good?
-Ew. We do not have sex.
It's not like that.
It's just, like, making out stuff,
other stuff, and I don't…
Are you going to have sex with him?
Probably not.
-Should I?
-I can't--
No, I cannot believe
you are hooking up with Press.
-Yeah.
-It's Press.
-No, I know.
-He's evil.
He's so evil, dude.
But so am I.
-No, you aren't.
-Yes, I am.
-No. You are a little sweetie.
-It's okay, I like it though.
-You're a little sweetie pie.
-Don't take this from me.
Ow! Stop.
I am evil, Miller, and don't forget it.
That hurt, you bitch.
Good.
Was Norah being weird today? About…
you know.
God. Oh, this sucks.
-This sucks so hard.
-I know.
You know what?
Her mom's just kind of like…
I don't know,
Bev's a little uptight sometimes.
Yeah.
-Moms, eh?
-Moms.
Like, how much do you wanna bet
there wasn't any coffee in that mug?
I just-- I don't understand how people
trust her with their mental health.
I should really call my therapist.
I'm so dramatic
Acting like
I'm drowning on the Titanic…
Hey. Where is Abs and Ginny?
They weren't in English.
They skipped. They're at Abby's.
Crazy about Ginny's mom.
I saw her earlier. She looked awful.
-Should I text her or something?
-Oh yeah. Trauma DM.
Slide in there, bro.
I would have skipped with her,
if she asked me.
Yeah.
Ginny and Abby have gotten, like, closer.
Have you noticed that?
Kinda, yeah.
Oh my God, Max.
I just heard what happened.
-Is Ginny okay?
-Yeah.
I mean, no, but…
-I feel so bad.
-Yeah.
The cops just came in and took her mom.
It was like a TV show.
Um…
Did they cuff her?
Yes. It was like a real, true arrest.
They put her in a cop car
and drove her away.
Honestly, City Hall's, like,
three blocks away from the station,
so that was a little theatrical.
But, yeah, it was awful.
Like, really, really awful.
I'm so sorry.
I hope she's okay.
Mmm.
-Silver's looking at you.
-Yeah, well, that's what us lesbians do.
We just stare at each other
and nothing ever happens.
And then we think about it forever.
I just want your loving…
Okay.
-Hi, Silver.
-Hi.
Um, do you wanna come over later?
To hang out?
Yeah.
Okay. Sure.
Okay.
Yay. Fun.
Cool.
Great.
Okay.
That's gross, by the way.
-What?
-You telling them about it.
The vultures.
We're her friends.
You're not the only one
who cares about Ginny.
Don't make this about you, Max.
I'm not.
So, Ginny…
Yeah.
You asked for an emergency session?
It's so ridiculous.
My mom was arrested
for murdering a man I never even met.
I mean, I knew Cynthia,
but I don't know Tom.
I mean, I don't know.
I… I never know. Ever.
I'm very sorry to hear about your mom.
It's gotta be
a really difficult situation for you.
How are you feeling?
Peachy.
I'm scared.
I don't want my mom to go to prison.
I'm just feeling so much.
And I don't know how to process it all.
And…
I want to burn.
And I feel like I will.
But, uh…
it's just a matter of when.
Okay.
It's good that you're identifying.
Relapse is part of recovery,
and that's why we plan for it.
What happens when you relapse?
Um…
I give myself a window.
To cry about it. Rage about it.
And then what?
I reflect.
What happened? Did you enact your plan?
What is your plan?
Distract.
Move my body.
Go for a run, um…
Remove myself and prioritize my peace.
And talk about it.
We're only as sick as the secrets we keep.
Secrets hold power.
Tell me about it.
See?
You know what to do.
You knew you were in crisis,
and you called me.
That was right. You're growing.
Take it one day at a time,
or sometimes, even one minute at a time.
And no matter what happens, Ginny,
you're gonna be okay.
Mrs. Randolph,
your husband's here to see you.
Paul.
Paul.
Shh. It's okay.
It's gonna be okay.
I don't know what's happening.
I talked to your fancy lawyer.
And he said all this scary stuff
about life with no parole.
-That's not gonna happen.
-Well, I don't know what's going on.
I've been in here two nights already,
and now I gotta stay in here again?
What the hell?
What good is being married to the mayor
if you can't keep me out of jail?
I don't know why they arrested me,
or what they have on--
Just… calm down, okay?
Oh, thank you. "Calm down."
Why didn't I think of that?
I could just calm down.
Well, thanks, Paul. Now I got
a bird's eye view on the whole situation.
We are going to get you out of here.
We are going to get you answers.
Josh Finn is the best there is,
and I will never let
anything bad happen to you.
Do you regret marrying me?
No.
Mr. Randolph, sir, no contact.
I brought you some fresh clothes.
And if you tell me what you wanna wear
tomorrow for the arraignment,
I can bring that too.
The arraignment, Paul!
The fancy lawyer says
Ginny and Austin should be there.
You gotta bring 'em here.
I don't want the first time they see me
to be in that courtroom.
I have to see 'em before.
Sir, I have to insist.
Paul, you gotta pull the strings
and grease whatever
the hell you gotta grease, okay?
I have to see my kids.
I have to talk to Ginny and Austin
before they see me in the courtroom.
-Please. Paul, please.
-I'll try.
Happy?
What do you think happens now, huh?
Didn't think this through.
God, you're so stupid.
I loved you.
I took care of you.
You think
anyone else is going to love you?
A high school dropout whore with two kids?
How are you gonna support them?
How could you do this to Austin?
What's he gonna think when
I don't come home? Did you think of that?
God, Georgia, you are so selfish.
We're leaving.
What?
We're leaving.
No.
You can't leave.
Georgia, he's my son.
Georgia.
Georgia.
Somebody stop her.
Georgia, you need me! Austin needs me!
He's my son!
He's my son!
Here you go.
You good?
Any news?
Ginny, hey. Um…
How was school?
You didn't have to go, you know.
Could have stayed home like Austin did.
Well, we have nothing to hide.
Okay.
As far as news,
we can visit her today, if you want.
And her arraignment is tomorrow.
What does that mean?
Does she get to come home?
I don't know.
You know, the lawyer said that for a, um…
for this kind of charge, uh…
I don't know.
-Okay, well, I wanna see her.
-Me too.
Okay.
Great. Well, we have to remember that
this is gonna be really hard for your mom,
so it's important
that we stay upbeat, okay?
Positive, um, encouraging.
Maybe a touch more encouraging.
What happens if she goes to jail?
Do they have gangs in there?
Do they make weapons
out of shoelaces and stuff?
-Okay, maybe let's not ask that.
-Does she even have soap?
Or toothpaste? Or tampons?
Do they give you deodorant
when you get arrested?
Okay, yeah, this is good. You know what?
Let's get all of these out now.
Uh, you got any more?
Oh, we should take her this.
Okay.
Encouraging.
Encouraging.
I'm fine, okay? Mom's good.
You don't need to worry about me.
How are you guys? You okay?
Do they have gangs in there?
Do they make, like,
weapons out of shoelaces?
Do you have deodorant?
Listen, the fancy lawyer thinks
it's important
for you guys
to be at the arraignment, okay?
You don't have to come if you don't wanna.
Mom, we're going.
Okay. It's to show
that I'm needed at home.
Well, I can say that Paul is pretty much
a stranger and that we need our mom.
I could say that he smells really bad.
Or that he doesn't feed us.
We're not trying to get me arrested too.
The judge is Judge Matthews.
He's got a grandson at your school.
Do you know him?
Ugh. Tucker Matthews? Yeah, he's a dick.
Anything more helpful?
Marcus shoved him
into a locker this morning.
I don't think that's helpful.
You know his wife, Patty Matthews.
She's a member of the Neighborhood Club.
Oh, is she the one who's always making
those disgusting mini pies?
Okay. What else do we know?
I golf with Judge Matthews.
Does he love golf?
Mmm. He loves
not being at home with Patty.
Oh…
It's okay, buddy. All right?
We're gonna get your mom out of here.
We all know that she didn't do this.
Um, these are for you,
for the arraignment tomorrow.
It's something modest.
That's what the lawyer said.
Thank you.
-You okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Peach.
You're burning?
I haven't.
Good.
Have you talked to Dr. Lily?
I did. Don't worry.
You know
you can't tell her everything. Right?
You have to be careful. With everyone.
You ready?
Ta-da!
Your therapist said
you should start doing things you love,
and your dad noticed you were running out
of wall space in your bedroom,
so… it's an art studio.
Thanks, Mom.
Come on.
It's pretty cool.
No, I… I like it. It's…
Thanks. I like it.
You know, you're doing
your sleep schedule,
and you cleaned your room,
and you're showering,
which is great 'cause things were getting
kind of smelly for a minute there, so…
Yeah, we're, uh… we're doing the things.
That's all we can do.
Thanks, Mom.
I don't…
wanna feel this way.
I know.
It's all about the steps. Right?
Can't check your place
Can't take one look at my pretty face
When it's all 'bout you
And who's to blame
You don't care about me, babe
Yeah, that's
Literally not my name
That's literally not my name
That's literally not my name
That's literally not my name…
Come in!
-Hi.
-Hi.
Welcome to my humble abode.
I like it.
Our parents let us do
whatever we want with our rooms, so…
-The pillows?
-Mm-hmm.
Yeah, there's been a lot of hot debate
between my dad and I
on if it's "bitch, relax,"
or "relax, bitch."
Yeah, my dad would
never let me have these.
He's, like, super religious.
Oh.
What's that like?
Um, my sister and I were
only ever allowed to watch VeggieTales.
-What is VeggieTales?
-Oh, you're so lucky you don't know.
I always wanted a sister.
I thought it'd be really cool
to have a twin.
Oh, it is. It's super cool.
It's weird 'cause, like,
you know them better than anyone else.
But also, sometimes they're dicks.
Hey! Oh!
Silver, hey. I didn't know you were here.
Hi, Mrs. Baker.
What you gals up to?
Mother.
It's just normally you're here for Marcus.
You know, so it's different.
Is that all, Mom?
Okay. All right,
I'm just gonna let you hang.
Okay.
I love your mom.
Yeah, she's fun.
Dad?
Hey, I thought
you guys could use a hot meal.
Hey, buddy.
-How is she?
-Um…
Oh, she's Mom. She's the same.
So, Gummy Bear,
tonight is supposed to be the first night
of that poetry class I signed you up for.
You know, the Oak Hill Prep one?
-Guess I'm not going to that.
-Yeah, definitely.
-You got too much going on.
-Yeah.
-You shouldn't go.
-I know.
Except…
-What?
-Nothing.
Dad, what?
It might be nice
to get out of Wellsbury for a night.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
You can skip the first class.
Hey, why do you like poetry again?
Because, I don't know,
it makes me feel better.
Okay, so, hey, maybe you should go.
Dad…
I just got back from visiting my mom
at the local lockup.
You can take my bike.
Realize that your shadow
Was floating all around…
Girl
Tell me something I don't already know
How you track me down
Baby, don't
Something stuck…
Oh, come on!
I don't wanna move.
We're gonna be staying with your dad.
You like your dad.
Does this mean you and Dad
are getting back together?
No, honey, we're just friends.
He's just helping us out.
I don't wanna go to a school
where I don't know anyone.
Hey, this is for the best, Virginia.
When you're older, you'll understand.
If this is for the best,
why hasn't Austin said a word
since Gil went away?
Gil's in Azkaban, right?
With all the other wizards
who broke wizarding laws,
like Sirius Black.
Okay, come on.
Where's your sense of adventure?
I said why-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y, yeah
Oh…
Shit.
Hello! I am Mr. Kay.
My pronouns are he, him.
I will answer to Kay,
but you can also call me His Sovereignty,
or Lord of Light.
You are all here tonight
because you have something in common.
Mmm, we're gifted.
You're seeking extra stimulation
in the arts and sciences.
You have curious minds.
Or your parents forced you to come.
Either way, you are here now.
So, what is poetry?
It's not a trick question, I swear.
What is poetry?
There are no right answers.
Don't you mean there are no wrong answers?
There are plenty of wrong answers.
What's your name?
-Wolfe.
-Wolfe.
Okay, Wolfe. Go on. What is poetry?
Yes.
Words that are arranged for meaning,
sound, or rhythm.
Yes. Poetry is words.
-Very good…
-Alice.
Thank you, Alice. What's your name?
-Me?
-I thought you might know.
I'm…
Gia.
Okay, Gia. What do you think of
when you think of poetry?
I guess I can't say "words" again.
Um…
It's a form of expression.
A way to make sense of your feelings.
Words and feelings. Very poetic.
Your first assignment
will be to write a poem about poetry.
Meta.
This is gonna be a good class. I can tell.
And how was school today?
Boring. The same.
Except Georgia's, like, a Bravo celebrity,
and everyone's obsessed with her.
Why can't everyone
just mind their own business?
Yes, why would they discuss the murderer
you're best friends with?
So tiring. So pedantic.
She's not a murderer.
She's probably not a murderer.
Okay, obviously, I don't condone murder,
or think that Georgia's a murderer.
But also, is murder really that bad?
Like, all the time?
'Cause he was dying already.
He was suffering.
I think Cynthia did it
and is blaming it on Georgia.
Yes. It's always the wife.
Have you talked to Ginny?
The arraignment's tomorrow.
I'm gonna go to support Georgia.
-I wanna come.
-Me too.
No. You're not skipping school.
-It's important.
-Mom.
I said "no."
Anyways, what's going on with Silver?
Who?
You know her. She's friends with Marcus.
She's kinda punky.
Mom, "punky"?
Like, edgy and cool.
Oh my God.
So, what did you two get up to?
Oh, um, we scissored. It was magical.
Hey, be appropriate.
Does this mean
that Sophie is out of the picture?
Yes. Definitely.
-You should check in with her.
-Sophie?
Ginny.
I know this is hard,
what's going on across the street.
But I want you to prioritize
taking care of yourself. Okay?
I know, Dad.
Just one look at the party
And I'm making plans
Can we skip to the part
Where we're touching hands
But if it never starts
Then I'm back to my head again
And I know
Back to Ohio
Places that I go
Alone
Taking trips
That never leave my head
Talking to myself
With liquor on my breath
And I'm back at the party
With all of your friends
And I get up the courage
To ask you to dance
And I push through the crowd
To find I missed my chance again…
Well, this isn't how I thought
I'd be spending my honeymoon.
Yeah.
I still don't know what to think. I mean…
It's Georgia, you know?
So… so anything is possible, right?
I know… I know that, but…
I mean, murdering Cynthia's husband?
I mean…
Why?
I mean, that is… that is insane.
That… that's stupid.
And Georgia is not stupid, so…
So I wanna believe that this is all
just one big mistake, you know, but, um…
if I'm being honest, I…
I don't know.
Do you think she did this?
Look, Georgia's been through a lot.
She's had it rough
with all the shit she's been dealt.
But she's the strongest person I know.
And she does the hard things
that other people can't do.
-Holy shit, you think she did this.
-I think I don't know.
Look, I would understand
why someone would do it.
She doesn't even like Cynthia.
I made you dinner.
There's enough for a few nights, so…
Hey.
It's okay.
I washed out all my energy
On splitting hairs
Pushed myself to reinvent
What maybe wasn't there
To identify
A common thread
'Fore I cross the line
Just to pass the test…
This is the first place I ever smoked.
That's either cute or disturbing.
Me and my best friend Bridge
used to come here a lot.
Mmm.
Never had that growing up, a best friend.
We moved too much.
If you could wish for anything
in the world, what would it be?
A new butt.
Mine has a crack in it.
Is this you?
It's…
That was… Bridge Anderson…
my friend who got… cancer. Um…
I haven't been back here since he died.
I'm sorry.
We're not doing so great, huh?
I can't believe my mom is in jail.
I always knew it was possible,
even as a kid.
I don't know, she just seemed…
untouchable.
All the lights on you
We give ourselves a shining start
All alone
All alone
Mom, we're hungry.
This life story of mine
Beliefs and hopes all are dying
In the corner of my mind
Watch your brother.
You see, my mama was a bad seed
Just could feel her own needs
She took a good man, my daddy
Put him six feet in the grave
Yes, she did now
Hey, my mama was a bad seed…
Ma'am, you need a table?
It'll just take a minute to clear.
Oh, that's all right. I'm just gonna order
at the counter real quick.
And this is what she said…
Hi. I ordered two chocolate chip cookies
for dessert.
I'm just at the table over there
being cleared.
We already paid, but I was wondering
if I could get them to-go instead.
You know, I know our waitress is busy,
but we're in a bit of a hurry, so…
Sorry about that.
It's crazy in here today.
But if the truth was told
The whole town would know
That she is living her life
-Here you go.
-Thank you.
Nobody had seen
That evil was in her eyes
Even her…
Mrs. Randolph, you have a visitor.
Hey, G.
Big day today.
It's delicious you being in here.
I got an apartment.
Mm-hmm.
In Watertown.
Since you and Cynthia blocked me
from getting one in Wellsbury.
But I wanted to make sure
that I wasn't too far from Austin.
I want you to know
that, um, if they find you guilty…
and I think we both know that you, uh…
…you're probably guilty.
I'm really, really gonna love
the dramatic irony here.
You knowing that your son
is out there in the world without you.
Wondering what he thinks about you.
If… he thinks about you.
You are not this innocent young bride,
this tragic figure.
You are a bitch!
And everyone sees it now.
You are done for, G.
I'm the devil and I speed
With the pedal on the gas
And I think I like the fa--
Ha-ha-ha
I'm the devil
Did they tell you…
Good talk.
Really good talk.
Someone write my new name down
Someone write my new name down
Ha-ha-ha
Someone write my new name down…
Good luck today.
Someone write my new name down
Ha-ha
Way down I go
Got a one-way ticket
And the devil waitin'
Call from down low
Naive, I know
Pu-pu-pu-pull me back down
Through the fire
Write my name down for the hire
I hear the bones
In the devil retired
So someone write my new name down
'Cause I'm the devil
I'm the devil and I speed
With the pedal on the gas
And I think I like the fa--
Ha-ha-ha
Did they tell you I'm the devil?
Put your faith in another life past
Ha-ha-ha
I'm the devil and I speed
I'm the devil, put your faith
In another life past
Wedding dress is a nice touch.
I'm an innocent young bride.
-All rise.
-Here we go, up.
All persons having anything to
do before the Honorable Judge Matthews,
draw near, give your attendance,
and you shall be heard.
God save the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Please be seated.
Judge, hi!
-How's your wife, Patty?
-Hey. Not… not now.
-What are we doing, counsel?
-Arraignment for murder one.
This case is absurd, Your Honor.
It's a political maneuver
against my client's husband.
-I wanna be heard as to bail.
-It's a murder case.
We have a formal motion
for release pending trial.
Maybe counsel didn't hear me.
This is ridiculous, Your Honor.
Counsel knows this is a murder charge.
We're not releasing on bail.
How long is this gonna take?
We could do it the quickly way,
or the other not quickly at all way.
Defense is mistaken if he thinks
he can bully his way out of this.
My client was arrested
on the night of her wedding.
The woman spent the weekend in lockup.
If anyone's being bullied here, it's her.
Now, she's a mother.
She's married to the mayor.
She works at his office.
She's active in the community.
She owns property.
She's got two kids in the school system.
She isn't going anywhere.
Bail's a reasonable request.
She's needed at home.
Defense is painting
a lovely story, Your Honor,
but the fact is, we believe Ms. Miller…
Mrs. Randolph.
…to be a serious flight risk.
She's only been in town a little while.
She has a history of transient movement.
We think bail would be irresponsible.
All right,
this… this bickering needs to stop.
Let's move this along.
Your Honor, how is Patty?
I know her from the Neighborhood Club.
-She makes those incredible mini pies.
-Sh--
My daughter, Ginny, she's in school
with your grandson, Tucker.
She likes him a lot.
That's my son, Austin.
I need to be home, sir.
Paul's mayor. He's busy.
He's gotta be important like you.
He might know how to hit a birdie,
but he doesn't know how to pack a lunch.
I'm gonna release you on bail.
But I hear counsel's concern,
and I think it's valid.
Mrs. Randolph,
you will be on house arrest,
monitored with an ankle bracelet
until trial.
Thank you, Judge.
All rise.
It's a strange feeling
to see a moment
when your life changes forever.
To recognize it.
To know that you could never go back
to the way it was before.
Look, it's gonna be okay, all right?
Paul will have an update soon.
This is him.
Paul.
What do you know?
You said you didn't tell anyone.
What didn't you tell?
Mom did it? She killed Zach's dad?
I saw her.
Ginny!
Okay. Okay.
Okay, you cannot tell anyone.
Do you understand me?
You can never tell.
Is Mom gonna go away…
like my dad did?
Come here. Come here.
Now I don't think anything
will ever be the same.
Oh
Oh
Time moves slow
Time moves slow
I couldn't speed up if I tried
Hi, Peach.
So?
I really, really like my bed.
That's…
That's it?
What do you want me to say?
You can't just throw glitter at this
and call it a day, Mom.
You were arrested for murder.
God!
Do you get it? Do you finally get it?
Of course I get it.
I'm terrified.
Is that what you wanna hear?
I don't have a plan,
I don't know what's gonna happen.
I might go to prison for life.
I'm absolutely out of my mind terrified.
Then why?
Why would you think
that this is okay for you to do?
Oh my God. Am I the villain?
Okay, good. Perfect, I'll be the villain.
You killed him!
He was dying. He was suffering.
That is not your decision to make.
And what about Kenny?
Was he suffering too?
That was to protect you. You know that.
Okay. And what about the other one?
Anthony Green?
How many are there?
Just three.
"Just"?
"Just three"?
"Just three"?
Do you even hear yourself?
God, maybe you do belong in prison.
Austin saw you do it.
He saw you kill him.
I didn't do it.
Don't bullshit me. I know you did.
No, not that.
I didn't protect you.
I failed.
I ruined your life.
I wanted to give you a good life.
To open every door for you
that never opened for me.
And I failed.
I ruined it. I ruined everything!
No. No, Mom.
And now you guys,
your whole future… And I did it.
It wasn't some outside force, it was me.
I did it.
I didn't protect you.
I'm a bad mom.
No.
No.
Well, you're my mom.
And you did protect us.
Called to the Devil
And the Devil did come
I said to the Devil
"Devil, do you like drums?"
"Do you like cigarettes
Dominoes, rum?"
He said
"Only sundown, Sundays, Christmas"
Some days end
When I need a few friends
Now and again
I could never hope to keep them
Thought to give friends
What I thought that they wanted
Never had they needed
A good friend…
Your glasses, Harry.
See? We can do it.
It's us against the world.
It's us against the world, remember?
