A Million Little Things (2018) s03e09 Episode Script
The Lost Sheep
1
Why are there aspirin
in your oxycodone, Eddie?
I took them.
I want her out of here.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
I'm glad we're talking.
We could also not talk.
What's wrong?
Your mom died.
The last thing Mom said before
she walked out of that door
was that she wanted
me and Pop to get along.
Why is Child Services looking for you?
My mom wasn't born here.
ICE, they took her.
We have a place,
so you're staying with us tonight.
Things are complicated with Eddie.
I'm sorry. You don't
want to hear all this.
You can tell me anything.
Dakota didn't steal my pills.
I've been taking them.
Now I
I can't stop.
I started taking them the night
Alex's dad told me
what really happened to her,
that Alex's drowning wasn't my fault.
I asked you that night if you were okay.
You said you didn't
want to talk about it.
- We were right here.
- I know.
When you went to wash up,
that's when I took the first pill.
[SIGHS]
Look, I didn't know how to tell you.
I-I thought that if you found out
Once that bottle was empty,
I was desperate.
So when Gary took me to
pick up Theo's costume, I, um
I took a bottle of
painkillers from Gina.
What?
And then I told Dakota I'd
only agree to work with her
if she could get me more.
So the pills I accused
Dakota of taking
I took them.
But I'm telling you now, I'm done.
- Katherine, I am so sorry.
- Stop.
Stop.
I don't care that you're sorry.
I know.
Um, I called Mission Treatment.
They can admit me tomorrow.
Gary said he could take me.
Unless you want
He should take you.
Yeah.
We can tell Theo that
I'm gonna go visit my sister.
- We're not gonna do that.
- No, it's okay.
It'll just be like when you said
you were at the Grand Canyon.
I didn't say that.
You did.
I-I can't tell Theo the truth,
not now after what happened
with the neighbor today.
He'll never forgive me.
THEO: Mom?
[SIGHS]
I'm not gonna lie to our son, Eddie.
That is what you do.
I can't believe this.
They changed the time slot of
my favorite show again.
- So?
- So? [SCOFFS]
I got used to watching it on Thursdays.
It started my weekend off right.
That's it.
Weekends start on Wednesdays now.
[KEYS CLATTER]
[SIGHS]
And where do you think you're going?
Nowhere. [SIGHS]
- Out.
- You're kidding, right?
For the past week,
all you've done is tell us
how we can't go out
because a stay-at-home
order has been issued
by the Commonwealth of Gary.
Yes, and if you had
bothered to read the bylaws
of the Commonwealth of Gary,
it clearly states
this is not a democracy, right?
This is important.
And the guitar lessons that are
gonna get me into college
just aren't important?
It's her only shot at
a four-year education.
[SIGHS] Come on, Soph.
You can take those lessons on Zoom.
I know the real reason that
you want out there
is so that you can
sneak off and see Jake.
And then I gotta think
about you and Jake
and what goes on between you and Jake.
This is personal.
While I'm gone, empty the dishwasher,
unless it's dirty, in which case,
run the dishwasher.
Do Do something with the dishwasher!
[SIGHS] Totally unfair.
No, no, I'm only gonna
tell you this once,
and then we're never
discussing it again
Donald Glover is not Lando.
Except he literally is.
He's a Lando, but he is not the Lando.
That's Billy Dee.
He's the one from
"Empire Strikes Back," right?
I've seen parts of it.
Parts of it? Wh Are you kidding me?
Any future success of this franchise
Oh, baby, you're just in time.
Yeah, yeah, I-I felt the tremor
[CHUCKLES] in the Force.
Mm-hmm. Yes.
You know what?
I gotta check this guy out.
Oh, Gina and I, we have a rule
No phones at the table.
Otherwise, we'd never make it
through a meal without
being interrupted by work
or Gina cyber-stalking Billy Dee.
- Hey. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
You could just put your phone
on the counter next to ours.
Nah, I'm good.
I always keep it with me just in case.
My mom and I always had a plan.
If anything ever happened to her,
as soon as she gets the chance,
she'll call me.
It's why I've had a phone since I was 7.
About your mom Our friend Katherine
arranged for you to speak
with a lawyer today.
He does pro Bono
immigration law on the side.
Yeah.
So you think he can really help her?
Well, you gotta try.
[AS YODA] "No. Do or do not.
There is no try. Hmm?"
[CHUCKLES]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
TELEPHONE RINGING]
[SIGHS]
Where'd you get that?
Hmm? The waiting room.
Wait. So you stole it?
Stole? No.
Umbrellas don't belong to anyone.
They're just there if
you need them, like bicycles.
- Bicycles belong to people.
- Do they?
Not to take sides,
but that umbrella's been
sitting in the waiting room for weeks,
so your boyfriend can have it.
Well, thank you, Nora.
There's a very nice scarf
out there, too,
if you're interested. [CHUCKLES]
And this thief is not my boyfriend.
Oh, and this very judgy
woman is not my girlfriend.
My bad.
I'll be sure to update
that in your chart.
You know, it really never
ceases to amaze me.
You're so strict about some
things that do not matter,
like tea bags,
and then you're just willing to
look the other way at petty larceny.
You're like the male
version of Mary Poppins.
You're Jamie Poppins.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, I can't wait to get back
to being British Maggie.
- Yeah.
- Soon as I get the all clear,
we can book our flight back to Oxford.
Ah. It's a bit sad, though, isn't it?
We've been in Boston for weeks,
and the only thing I've seen
is the inside of Gary's apartment.
At least you can say you
saw the Freedom Trail.
It's the walking path of all
the Revolutionary War monuments.
It runs right behind the building.
Ah, well, that explains
the long-lasting stink
of English humiliation in the air.
[CHUCKLES] Just like home.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, here's Dr. Stein now.
Just to recap They are just friends,
and he may or may
not be a bicycle thief.
Good to know. Thanks, Nora.
I'll take it from here.
- DR. STEIN: Good morning.
- [SIGHS]
How are you doing with everything?
Uh, good.
Well, I am really nervous.
Well, you have no reason to be.
And neither do you.
Your scans all look great.
So keep doing what you're doing,
and we'll see you
back here in six months.
Oh, um, you know what?
I'll probably do my next
screening in England
'cause we're
we're gonna head back there
as soon as we can book our flights.
Actually, with everything
that's going on with this virus,
I would advise that you not
get on a plane right now.
Yes, your numbers are good,
but you're still in
a high-risk category.
You don't want to catch this thing.
I'm, uh
I'm sorry again about yesterday.
You were really mad.
I was.
And while Mr. Anderson was wrong,
I shouldn't have done that.
And I want to explain to you,
you know, why that happened.
Uh, you know I have
a problem with alcohol.
Well, I've, uh [SIGHS]
I have started having a
problem with medication, too.
It's the pain pills from the hospital.
I started taking them
just a little too much.
And just like I had to go to get
help to stop drinking before,
I'm going someplace today
to help me get better.
I am so sorry, Theo.
I, uh, hate letting you down.
But it's just important
to your mom and to me
that we be honest and tell
you exactly what's happening.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too, pal.
[SNIFFLES]
This is all your fault.
He needed you, but you were too worried
about going back to work.
- Theo, no, it is not her
- Yes, it is!
You were supposed to take care of him.
You were supposed
to take care of all of us.
No, Theo. Theo!
- Katherine
- Don't.
[POUNDING ON DOOR]
Come on. Open up.
I know you're in there.
- Dad.
- Come on. Open up.
Dad, I can hear your banging
all the way up the street.
Why are you beating up a church?
Because they're closed.
Who closes a church?
They probably shut down
because of the virus.
Well, that's just great.
How are we supposed to
light a candle for your mom
if we can't get in?
We can light it for her
when they're open again.
I'm sure she'd understand.
It has to be today. It's her birthday!
[SIGHS]
Plus, I found two pennies
in the wash this morning.
The song.
The one that was playing
when your mother and I met.
"Pennies from Heaven." Right.
Well, now whenever I'm
feeling down or lonely,
she leaves me a penny.
Her way of letting me
know she's still here.
Come on, Pop. That's not Mom.
I've done your laundry.
Your pockets are like a "take a penny,
leave a penny" dish.
It's coincidence.
Maybe for someone who hasn't
been to church in months.
What happened to your faith, son?
My faith? Are you kidding me?
Take a look at this year.
I've lost everything Mom, my movie,
probably Gina's restaurant, the baby.
Y-You want to know
the last time I prayed?
I was in the hospital chapel,
asking for the baby to be okay.
And he is.
That's your takeaway?
Yes, and maybe if you had stopped
and asked God for help with
some of the other things,
they would've turned out better, too.
Not doing it.
Cannot do it. Not today.
Not on Mom's day.
And put on your damn mask!
[SIGHS]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Is he ready?
Just about. He's in the bathroom.
Where's Theo?
Uh, he's upstairs, angry at me.
At you?
Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
You want to talk about you?
[SCOFFS]
What's to talk about?
Same old story.
Eddie breaks his promise,
and I'm paying the price.
Again.
[SIGHS]
Theo blames me for working too much.
[SIGHS]
What choice do I have?
Mom's coming over later to
help him with online school
because someone still
needs to pay the mortgage
and my office
and the neighbor's car
and now his rehab.
[SIGHS]
I, uh
I don't think I can do this anymore.
I get it.
There's only so much
a person can take, right?
Nobody's gonna blame you
if you've reached your limit, Katherine.
It's been hard.
[DOOR SLAMS]
I looked it up on my GPS
on the way over,
and the highways are empty.
Gotta love the coronavirus traffic.
Yo! You ready?
Yep.
You know, it was really cute
how nervous you seemed
at the doctor's office.
[CHUCKLES] Just glad you're okay.
Yeah, okay,
except apparently trapped in America.
[SIGHS] 2020 was supposed to be the year
where it was all about me.
Oxford was a huge part of that.
Right. Come on, Margaret.
You could still have the year
that you planned, right?
You're doing your research
Remotely, yeah?
You're still doing your podcast.
I mean, it d it doesn't
matter that you're in America.
You can still be British Maggie.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
I mean, really,
what's the difference between
being stuck in an
apartment with you there
and being stuck in an
apartment with you here?
Uh, let's see The metric system,
- uh, universal health care
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS, VIBRATES]
football where you actually
use your feet.
[CHUCKLES]
Who is that?
It's, uh it's Nora.
She wants to know if I want to
hike the Freedom Trail with
her during her lunch break.
Oh, she's put two mask
emojis. That's cute.
Nora? From, uh, Dr. Stein's office?
How'd she get your number?
Uh, she asked me for it
when you were in the loo.
Excuse me, the
the bathroom that contains no bath.
So this is a a date?
Um, maybe.
Is that a problem?
[STAMMERS] I'll just tell her no.
No, you should go.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I mean, that's exactly
what we agreed to.
We can go out with whoever we want,
even if we have only seen
a third of their face.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
It's quite exciting, actually, isn't it?
It's like a really bad
reality dating show.
Uh, "This week on 'Behind the Mask.'"
Okay, right, we're all set.
Great.
Yeah, great.
[DOOR CLOSES]
- Alright, I got you.
- [BOTH GRUNT]
Yeah, you got me. Right.
[SIGHS]
Dude, what's going on with you?
You didn't say a word
the whole way over.
You didn't even look at
yourself in the rear view mirror,
which has gotta be a first.
I heard what you said to Katherine.
Okay.
Well, I didn't say anything to
her that I wouldn't say to you.
Give me a break.
"Good old Gary. Everybody's friend."
You tell me to come clean, to get help,
and everything will be okay.
So I do, and then, behind my back,
you give my wife
the green light to leave me.
- No, that's not what I said.
- Just Enough, Gary! Stop!
Look, I know you're in withdrawal
You don't know anything.
Look, I know what you're trying to do.
You're trying to fill Jon's shoes.
But let me be clear. You are not Jon.
You never will be Jon,
because Jon would never stab
a friend in the back like that.
You told Katherine it was
okay for her to leave Eddie?
Well, it sounds bad
when you say it like that.
Alexa, set a reminder
Never let Gary near
Regina after we fight.
ALEXA: When should I remind you?
- Alexa, never mind.
- Hilarious.
I'm glad someone's having a good day.
I wish.
I got into a fight with
my old man this morning.
He's now convinced every penny he finds
is a gift from my mother.
I don't even know what to do with that.
Maybe you let him have this.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I-I'm trying to reach Mr. Gary Mendez.
He's the guy who mercilessly
mocked his girlfriend
for going to a psychic.
Speaking, which is why I don't want you
to make the same mistake I did.
Not because that guy was legit.
He wasn't.
But who cares if it was real or not
if it helped her get
through losing her brother?
And the same goes for your dad.
People deal with loss in different ways.
Which apparently all
involve throwing away money.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Hey, Mom. How's he doing?
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
What do you mean
he has to eat more fruit?
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
I'm not being sensitive.
Let's just finish making
the mandu so I can do my work.
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
[CHUCKLES] Mom, we have
plenty of plastic containers.
- We don't need this.
- [SPEAKING KOREAN]
Can I just throw this away, please?
[SIGHS]
You know, your father
wasn't perfect either.
I forgot. I have to go.
Left some files at the office.
And what did your mom do for a living?
She's a she was an EMT.
A first responder, essential worker.
- That can help her case.
- See? That's good news.
Yes. Now, Tyrell
do you know how your mom
was able to get a job,
given her status?
Oh, it's okay.
You can trust him.
She used my dad's
Social Security number.
He was born here,
and after my mom got pregnant with me,
they were gonna get married but,
he passed away before they could.
Using his soc was the only
way that she could get a job.
Which means she pays taxes.
Doesn't that help?
She's a contributing member of society.
Yes, but she falsified documents.
[SCOFFS] What was she supposed to do?
If she didn't do that,
she couldn't get a job.
Look, I know she meant well,
but what she did makes
this case a lot harder.
She had no choice.
- Regina
- [SIGHS]
the delivery guy's here.
REGINA: Thanks, Jake.
I'll be right there.
No, I'll do it.
- Beats wasting my time here.
- Wait, Tyrell
Thought you said he was gonna help me.
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry.
[INDISTINCT MUSIC PLAYING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[KNOCKING CONTINUES]
Alright, Bloom, I'm coming in!
I knocked three times.
That is my limit for my own place.
[CABINET SLAMS]
Hey, now.
[GASPS] Ooh.
Easy on the woodwork,
or I'm telling the landlord.
Sorry. [SIGHS]
I don't know why I'm telling you this,
but, um, Dr. Stein's nurse
gave Jamie her number,
and now he's off hiking
the Freedom Trail with Nora.
[LAUGHING] Dr. Bloom,
are you a little jealous?
No.
Doctor?
Okay, yeah, fine, maybe a little bit.
And I know that that
is completely natural
in these kinds of relationships.
I mean, I told him to go,
and he can date whoever
he wants, as can I.
I mean, t-that was the agreement.
You trying to convince me or you?
I'm sure you two will be back
to whatever it is you are
by the time you leave for Oxford.
Oh, yeah, well, there's that.
Uh, Dr. Stein told me that
I should not be traveling
because of this pandemic.
So we're stuck in the States for now.
Well, I'm stuck raising Delilah's kids,
so you're welcome to stay
here as long as you need.
- Thanks.
- Provided, of course,
you promise to, uh,
stop taking your jealousy
out on my cabinets.
[CHUCKLES]
So, what are you doing here, anyway?
I, uh, came by to thank you
for helping Darcy get
the treatment that she needs.
And to apologize for being
short with you yesterday,
no pun intended.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, and since I'm, uh
I'm here, I'm just gonna
gonna grab something real quick.
Um, bottom drawer.
Alright. [SIGHS]
- Last chance, Bloom.
- Mm.
Gary, um
I-I really like what we're becoming,
and I know that you got that ring
because you thought
I wasn't gonna make it.
And if that year had been
the last year of my life,
it would've been a
a really amazing way
for it to have ended.
Well, I'm glad it wasn't.
So I guess I'm glad you didn't get this.
We've both come a long way.
We really have.
I'm with Darcy.
And you're with Jamie.
And he's with Nora.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Katherine?
Alan. Hey.
Hey. I saw your car out front.
Why are you working on a Saturday?
Didn't you see the door?
You're the boss.
Everything okay?
Hey, um, Tyrell?
TYRELL: Yep.
I can't even begin to imagine
how tough it is to hear
that we might not be
able to help your mom.
But I know you're strong
enough to face it head-on.
And it's better to hear the truth now
and to prepare for it
rather than be in denial
and learn about it later.
Understand?
It's just so hard when
she hasn't even called.
My phone. Ugh. I left it at the bar.
- JAKE: That yours?
- Yeah.
I think you just missed a call.
What?
MAN: This is a call from
a detainee at the Department
- of Homeland Security
- Oh, my
WOMAN: Martine Epps.
Oh, my God.
Watching Tyrell listen to
that voicemail crushed me.
And he called back and just
got an automated recording.
You know, maybe Maybe we shouldn't
do this with Dad today.
We can light a candle
with Pop another time.
No. No, no. He needs you.
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey. Hey, Tyrell.
Gina told me what happened.
That really sucks, man. I'm sorry.
But we can give the number to Alan
and see if he can find out
where they're holding her.
It's not nothing.
Hey, look, bro, I-I-I know how you feel.
Right. I didn't realize
your mom was taken by ICE.
That's fair.
But my mom was taken
from me with no warning.
And if your mother's anything like mine,
she's not gonna quit trying
after one missed phone call.
Moms always have a way
of reaching their sons.
And why do you think
you feel this way, Eddie?
[SIGHS]
'Cause they're all against me.
My, uh my best friend. My wife.
My son is all I have left,
and, you know, he's just mad at her
'cause he's too afraid to be mad at me.
But sooner or later, he's gonna
realize that's what's going on.
And I'm gonna lose him, too.
So what you're saying is you took pills
knowing what could happen,
you lied to your family,
stole from your friends,
broke your vows,
and the person you're most
worried about in all this is you?
No. Okay? I, um
Of course I'm worried about them.
Katherine and Theo and
Charlie are everything to me.
Oh, you could've fooled me,
because you never
once stopped to mention
what they're going through,
you know, what it's like
for your wife to discover
that you lied again,
or for your son to be thrown
into that kind of chaos.
Hey, I didn't talk
when you talked. Is
- COUNSELOR: Jackie.
- Sorry, but
all I'm saying is,
right now, above all else,
your son needs to know he's safe.
But from what you just said,
it sounds more like
you're worried about
what he thinks of you.
Can't have it both ways.
"What man of you, having 100 sheep,
if he lost one of them,
does not leave the 99 and go
after the 1 which is lost.
And when he hath found it,
he layeth it across
his shoulders, rejoicing."
That was your mother's favorite passage.
You guys got another candle?
I thought maybe I could
light one for my mom.
Of course, sweetie.
Thank you for this.
It's exactly what she would've wanted.
Which is why she left those pennies.
They weren't leading me to church.
They were leading me to you.
Totally, Pop.
Totally.
[SIGHS]
I just really thought
things were getting better,
but I guess I was wrong.
So, what's going on over there?
- What, these?
- Uh, yeah.
I-I didn't figure you'd be
Someone who would have them?
That's exactly why I have them.
My whole life,
my parents told me I could be
one of three things
A doctor, a lawyer, or a failure.
I chose option "B," partially for them,
but I got these for me.
My way of being who I wanted to be.
I know exactly what
you're talking about.
I feel like so much of my
life is ruled by "I should."
I should be a good mom.
I should be a a good lawyer.
I should value what I have
and not throw it away,
even if it's a stupid
container I'll never use.
What?
N-Nothing. I just
Why do I have to be the good
wife and mother and daughter
when he gets to drink
and lie and and Ugh!
I'm just so sick of it.
I don't want to be Katherine anymore.
You know, for once, I just
I want to do something
because I feel like doing it.
Um
[GASPS] Uh
I can't believe I just did that.
[CHUCKLES] Uh, no, it's okay.
- I'm sorry. I'm
- Hey, I'm flattered.
- If you were sober and single
- Oh, God.
Hey, trust me,
I would be the one making a move.
- Stop.
- No, really. I would.
- Uh, look, it's okay.
- Mm.
Katherine, you've had a rough day.
Let me drive you home.
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Danny!
DANNY: I'm upstairs!
Soph!
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
Soph, come on. I'll make you a deal.
I'll, uh I'll tell you where
I went today over Chinese food
if you disinfect
the takeout containers, huh?
Alright.
I'm coming in.
Get me out of this place
on a train or a car
Just somewhere far away
You. Where's your sister?
- I don't know.
- Try again.
Please don't make me be a narc.
I don't need you to be a narc.
I just need you to rat out your sister
and tell me where she is.
You realize that while you're stuck here
- obeying the rules, she's
- Out with Jake.
- Just somewhere far away
- I knew it. [SCOFFS]
Lift up your head,
it's gonna be okay
She turned off Find My Friends.
Did you try calling her?
Way ahead of you.
[LINE RINGING]
[IPAD VIBRATING]
Uh-oh.
Alright, I need her pass code.
Well, I'm not supposed to know,
but I know.
But I'm not gonna tell you,
because that would be a betrayal.
- Dan.
- And I only have one sister
who knows "two" many things about me.
One, two. Keep not telling me.
And I would "h-eight"
for her to find out what I did.
Eight. You saying eight?
No, I'm saying "he-eight."
- Twice.
- 2, 1, 8, 8.
Dude, that didn't work.
Yeah, that's because it's 1, 2, 8, 8.
Aren't you an accountant?
I'm not an accountant. I'm an actuary.
I work heavily with numbers,
but I feel the need to clarify.
Anything?
Yeah, a text to Jake.
"I don't care about Gary's rules.
He's such a hypocrite.
I'll be there in 15."
You stay here. I'm going to Jake's.
GARY: She broke the rules.
And she misspelled "hypocrite."
DR. STACY: Hey, hey,
everyone has a "but."
"But I'm afraid." "But I'm too old."
"But what if he doesn't feel the same?"
It's ti
[SIGHS] Everybody's got a "but,"
and you're talking
out of yours right now.
- [SIGHS]
- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Hey.
Oh, hey.
So, how was the Freedom Trail?
Uh, it was fine.
It was fun. I-I learned a lot.
I feel like if my guys had
pushed just another week,
we might've won that thing.
Uh, look, I'm sorry if
I was acting weird earlier. I
I got a little jealous when
I found out about you and Nora,
but that's my stuff,
and you should totally
keep going out with her if you want,
because, ultimately,
we know what we are.
I I'm not so sure that we do.
Um
Y-You know, you said earlier
that you thought it was cute
that I was nervous at your screening.
I I w I wasn't nervous.
[SIGHS] I was terrified
because of how afraid I was that
That you weren't gonna be okay,
and I realized that
I can't stay here.
What are you talking about? Why?
Because the whole time I was with Nora,
I just wanted to be with you.
And then just now,
hearing that you were jealous,
this isn't what we wanted.
This isn't what we promised each other,
or ourselves.
I
I was married to someone,
and that marriage kept me
from being who I needed to be.
I mean, the same thing
happened with you and Gary.
You said it on the podcast.
As much as he wanted you to be together,
you needed to figure out who you were.
And you're figuring it out.
I'm watching it happen.
It's beautiful.
- Yeah, but you're helping it happen.
- No, I'm not.
It's all you.
Listen, I
I care about you so much.
So much so that I want you
to see your dreams come true.
Which is why I have to go.
Okay. [SIGHS]
[LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
Well, I'm glad I was able to
help you get your faith back.
Look, Dad, you believe,
and that's great.
And what about you?
You only go to church
'cause Mom dragged you.
Don't start acting like you
were always so religious.
Yeah, maybe I was dragged there,
but I got something along the way.
- Your mom gave me that.
- Great.
[CHUCKLING] Why do
you care what I believe?
- 'Cause I want you to believe.
- Why?
Because I need her to be in Heaven.
I need to know she's in a better place.
In a better p What place is better
than being right here with you and me?
You know what?
I'm not fighting with you
on your mom's birthday.
- Dad.
- No.
[DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]
[BILLIE HOLIDAY'S
"PENNIES FROM HEAVEN" PLAYING]
[SIGHS] Oh, my God.
It rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud
contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune fallin'
All over town
Be sure that your umbrella
is upside down
TYRELL: Yep.
- Hey, hey.
- Hey.
I got you a little something.
Let me guess. "Empire Strikes Back."
[AS YODA] "Mm,
the force is strong with this one."
- Thanks.
- [CHUCKLES]
That's a pretty big bag for just this.
[NORMAL VOICE] Well, I might
have done some light shopping
while I was there, including
A fitness band?
Trying to make sure I get my steps in?
Ha-ha. No.
[CHUCKLES] No.
It syncs with your phone,
so if you get a call coming in,
it'll notify you.
That way, even if your
phone is not right beside you,
there's no chance you'll miss
the next call from your mom.
And there will be a next call,
because, like Rome said before,
mothers always find a
way to reach their sons.
Thanks.
Who knew booking a same-day
flight could be so easy?
They've even upgraded me to first class
because I said "schedule" like I do.
Wow. All it took was a global pandemic
to bring out the best in people.
Yeah, right? 2020
the year of toilet paper hoarding
and first-class upgrades.
Mm! You really are Jamie Poppins.
You You just came into my life,
we jumped through
some paintings together,
and just like that [SNAPS FINGERS]
time for you to go.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
I was wrong about one thing, though.
We do know what we are.
Yeah.
[AS MARY POPPINS] Practically
perfect in every way.
Well, that might be pushing it a bit.
[NORMAL VOICE] No, from, like
from the movie.
W-What movie?
"Mary Poppins."
Oh, right.
I've, uh, actually never seen it.
What?
But I-I want to.
Who are you?
You know who I am.
[CHUCKLES]
It was nice doing sex with you,
Margaret Bloom.
Nice doing sex with you, Jamie Clarke.
When life leaves you hopeless
Lying alone with
A heart full of questions
That haven't got answers
Sometimes the darkness
Can feel like it's endless
But as lost as the light seems
The sun will rise
When you're surrounded
By nothing but shadows
That stand up like mountains
That you can't see over
It's easy to think that
your world might be broken
EDDIE: Of course, bud.
You can call me anytime.
And I'm glad you called
now because this morning,
I didn't get the chance
to tell you something important.
The only thing that
matters to me right now, pal,
is that you know that you're safe.
You're gonna get through this.
And there is no one better in the world
to take care of you than Mom.
And don't worry about me.
I'm gonna get better.
That's the thing.
I don't know if you will.
Well, then,
I'm just gonna have to show you.
I love you, bud.
Love you, too, Dad.
Hi, T.
I called Dad to make sure he's okay.
He really needs us.
Bye, Pal.
I'll go tell Grandma
it's time for dinner.
The sun will ri-i-i-se
Hi, Katherine.
Listen, I've been thinking
about things, and
The sun will riiiiise
Jake!
- Gary?
- Yeah, mask.
Where's Soph?
I-I don't know.
That's surprisingly believable,
but I know she's here.
- Soph!
- She's not here.
I haven't seen her in weeks.
Not since she broke up with me.
What?
Then what's this?
She never sent me these texts.
That's my name,
but that's not my number.
She must be seeing someone else.
[TAPPING HAND]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[LINE RINGING]
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
PETER: Hey, Soph.
Y-You forget something?
Who the hell is this?
Hello?
ANNA: Peter?
Uh, be right there.
Why are there aspirin
in your oxycodone, Eddie?
I took them.
I want her out of here.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
I'm glad we're talking.
We could also not talk.
What's wrong?
Your mom died.
The last thing Mom said before
she walked out of that door
was that she wanted
me and Pop to get along.
Why is Child Services looking for you?
My mom wasn't born here.
ICE, they took her.
We have a place,
so you're staying with us tonight.
Things are complicated with Eddie.
I'm sorry. You don't
want to hear all this.
You can tell me anything.
Dakota didn't steal my pills.
I've been taking them.
Now I
I can't stop.
I started taking them the night
Alex's dad told me
what really happened to her,
that Alex's drowning wasn't my fault.
I asked you that night if you were okay.
You said you didn't
want to talk about it.
- We were right here.
- I know.
When you went to wash up,
that's when I took the first pill.
[SIGHS]
Look, I didn't know how to tell you.
I-I thought that if you found out
Once that bottle was empty,
I was desperate.
So when Gary took me to
pick up Theo's costume, I, um
I took a bottle of
painkillers from Gina.
What?
And then I told Dakota I'd
only agree to work with her
if she could get me more.
So the pills I accused
Dakota of taking
I took them.
But I'm telling you now, I'm done.
- Katherine, I am so sorry.
- Stop.
Stop.
I don't care that you're sorry.
I know.
Um, I called Mission Treatment.
They can admit me tomorrow.
Gary said he could take me.
Unless you want
He should take you.
Yeah.
We can tell Theo that
I'm gonna go visit my sister.
- We're not gonna do that.
- No, it's okay.
It'll just be like when you said
you were at the Grand Canyon.
I didn't say that.
You did.
I-I can't tell Theo the truth,
not now after what happened
with the neighbor today.
He'll never forgive me.
THEO: Mom?
[SIGHS]
I'm not gonna lie to our son, Eddie.
That is what you do.
I can't believe this.
They changed the time slot of
my favorite show again.
- So?
- So? [SCOFFS]
I got used to watching it on Thursdays.
It started my weekend off right.
That's it.
Weekends start on Wednesdays now.
[KEYS CLATTER]
[SIGHS]
And where do you think you're going?
Nowhere. [SIGHS]
- Out.
- You're kidding, right?
For the past week,
all you've done is tell us
how we can't go out
because a stay-at-home
order has been issued
by the Commonwealth of Gary.
Yes, and if you had
bothered to read the bylaws
of the Commonwealth of Gary,
it clearly states
this is not a democracy, right?
This is important.
And the guitar lessons that are
gonna get me into college
just aren't important?
It's her only shot at
a four-year education.
[SIGHS] Come on, Soph.
You can take those lessons on Zoom.
I know the real reason that
you want out there
is so that you can
sneak off and see Jake.
And then I gotta think
about you and Jake
and what goes on between you and Jake.
This is personal.
While I'm gone, empty the dishwasher,
unless it's dirty, in which case,
run the dishwasher.
Do Do something with the dishwasher!
[SIGHS] Totally unfair.
No, no, I'm only gonna
tell you this once,
and then we're never
discussing it again
Donald Glover is not Lando.
Except he literally is.
He's a Lando, but he is not the Lando.
That's Billy Dee.
He's the one from
"Empire Strikes Back," right?
I've seen parts of it.
Parts of it? Wh Are you kidding me?
Any future success of this franchise
Oh, baby, you're just in time.
Yeah, yeah, I-I felt the tremor
[CHUCKLES] in the Force.
Mm-hmm. Yes.
You know what?
I gotta check this guy out.
Oh, Gina and I, we have a rule
No phones at the table.
Otherwise, we'd never make it
through a meal without
being interrupted by work
or Gina cyber-stalking Billy Dee.
- Hey. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
You could just put your phone
on the counter next to ours.
Nah, I'm good.
I always keep it with me just in case.
My mom and I always had a plan.
If anything ever happened to her,
as soon as she gets the chance,
she'll call me.
It's why I've had a phone since I was 7.
About your mom Our friend Katherine
arranged for you to speak
with a lawyer today.
He does pro Bono
immigration law on the side.
Yeah.
So you think he can really help her?
Well, you gotta try.
[AS YODA] "No. Do or do not.
There is no try. Hmm?"
[CHUCKLES]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
TELEPHONE RINGING]
[SIGHS]
Where'd you get that?
Hmm? The waiting room.
Wait. So you stole it?
Stole? No.
Umbrellas don't belong to anyone.
They're just there if
you need them, like bicycles.
- Bicycles belong to people.
- Do they?
Not to take sides,
but that umbrella's been
sitting in the waiting room for weeks,
so your boyfriend can have it.
Well, thank you, Nora.
There's a very nice scarf
out there, too,
if you're interested. [CHUCKLES]
And this thief is not my boyfriend.
Oh, and this very judgy
woman is not my girlfriend.
My bad.
I'll be sure to update
that in your chart.
You know, it really never
ceases to amaze me.
You're so strict about some
things that do not matter,
like tea bags,
and then you're just willing to
look the other way at petty larceny.
You're like the male
version of Mary Poppins.
You're Jamie Poppins.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, I can't wait to get back
to being British Maggie.
- Yeah.
- Soon as I get the all clear,
we can book our flight back to Oxford.
Ah. It's a bit sad, though, isn't it?
We've been in Boston for weeks,
and the only thing I've seen
is the inside of Gary's apartment.
At least you can say you
saw the Freedom Trail.
It's the walking path of all
the Revolutionary War monuments.
It runs right behind the building.
Ah, well, that explains
the long-lasting stink
of English humiliation in the air.
[CHUCKLES] Just like home.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, here's Dr. Stein now.
Just to recap They are just friends,
and he may or may
not be a bicycle thief.
Good to know. Thanks, Nora.
I'll take it from here.
- DR. STEIN: Good morning.
- [SIGHS]
How are you doing with everything?
Uh, good.
Well, I am really nervous.
Well, you have no reason to be.
And neither do you.
Your scans all look great.
So keep doing what you're doing,
and we'll see you
back here in six months.
Oh, um, you know what?
I'll probably do my next
screening in England
'cause we're
we're gonna head back there
as soon as we can book our flights.
Actually, with everything
that's going on with this virus,
I would advise that you not
get on a plane right now.
Yes, your numbers are good,
but you're still in
a high-risk category.
You don't want to catch this thing.
I'm, uh
I'm sorry again about yesterday.
You were really mad.
I was.
And while Mr. Anderson was wrong,
I shouldn't have done that.
And I want to explain to you,
you know, why that happened.
Uh, you know I have
a problem with alcohol.
Well, I've, uh [SIGHS]
I have started having a
problem with medication, too.
It's the pain pills from the hospital.
I started taking them
just a little too much.
And just like I had to go to get
help to stop drinking before,
I'm going someplace today
to help me get better.
I am so sorry, Theo.
I, uh, hate letting you down.
But it's just important
to your mom and to me
that we be honest and tell
you exactly what's happening.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too, pal.
[SNIFFLES]
This is all your fault.
He needed you, but you were too worried
about going back to work.
- Theo, no, it is not her
- Yes, it is!
You were supposed to take care of him.
You were supposed
to take care of all of us.
No, Theo. Theo!
- Katherine
- Don't.
[POUNDING ON DOOR]
Come on. Open up.
I know you're in there.
- Dad.
- Come on. Open up.
Dad, I can hear your banging
all the way up the street.
Why are you beating up a church?
Because they're closed.
Who closes a church?
They probably shut down
because of the virus.
Well, that's just great.
How are we supposed to
light a candle for your mom
if we can't get in?
We can light it for her
when they're open again.
I'm sure she'd understand.
It has to be today. It's her birthday!
[SIGHS]
Plus, I found two pennies
in the wash this morning.
The song.
The one that was playing
when your mother and I met.
"Pennies from Heaven." Right.
Well, now whenever I'm
feeling down or lonely,
she leaves me a penny.
Her way of letting me
know she's still here.
Come on, Pop. That's not Mom.
I've done your laundry.
Your pockets are like a "take a penny,
leave a penny" dish.
It's coincidence.
Maybe for someone who hasn't
been to church in months.
What happened to your faith, son?
My faith? Are you kidding me?
Take a look at this year.
I've lost everything Mom, my movie,
probably Gina's restaurant, the baby.
Y-You want to know
the last time I prayed?
I was in the hospital chapel,
asking for the baby to be okay.
And he is.
That's your takeaway?
Yes, and maybe if you had stopped
and asked God for help with
some of the other things,
they would've turned out better, too.
Not doing it.
Cannot do it. Not today.
Not on Mom's day.
And put on your damn mask!
[SIGHS]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Is he ready?
Just about. He's in the bathroom.
Where's Theo?
Uh, he's upstairs, angry at me.
At you?
Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
You want to talk about you?
[SCOFFS]
What's to talk about?
Same old story.
Eddie breaks his promise,
and I'm paying the price.
Again.
[SIGHS]
Theo blames me for working too much.
[SIGHS]
What choice do I have?
Mom's coming over later to
help him with online school
because someone still
needs to pay the mortgage
and my office
and the neighbor's car
and now his rehab.
[SIGHS]
I, uh
I don't think I can do this anymore.
I get it.
There's only so much
a person can take, right?
Nobody's gonna blame you
if you've reached your limit, Katherine.
It's been hard.
[DOOR SLAMS]
I looked it up on my GPS
on the way over,
and the highways are empty.
Gotta love the coronavirus traffic.
Yo! You ready?
Yep.
You know, it was really cute
how nervous you seemed
at the doctor's office.
[CHUCKLES] Just glad you're okay.
Yeah, okay,
except apparently trapped in America.
[SIGHS] 2020 was supposed to be the year
where it was all about me.
Oxford was a huge part of that.
Right. Come on, Margaret.
You could still have the year
that you planned, right?
You're doing your research
Remotely, yeah?
You're still doing your podcast.
I mean, it d it doesn't
matter that you're in America.
You can still be British Maggie.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
I mean, really,
what's the difference between
being stuck in an
apartment with you there
and being stuck in an
apartment with you here?
Uh, let's see The metric system,
- uh, universal health care
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS, VIBRATES]
football where you actually
use your feet.
[CHUCKLES]
Who is that?
It's, uh it's Nora.
She wants to know if I want to
hike the Freedom Trail with
her during her lunch break.
Oh, she's put two mask
emojis. That's cute.
Nora? From, uh, Dr. Stein's office?
How'd she get your number?
Uh, she asked me for it
when you were in the loo.
Excuse me, the
the bathroom that contains no bath.
So this is a a date?
Um, maybe.
Is that a problem?
[STAMMERS] I'll just tell her no.
No, you should go.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I mean, that's exactly
what we agreed to.
We can go out with whoever we want,
even if we have only seen
a third of their face.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
It's quite exciting, actually, isn't it?
It's like a really bad
reality dating show.
Uh, "This week on 'Behind the Mask.'"
Okay, right, we're all set.
Great.
Yeah, great.
[DOOR CLOSES]
- Alright, I got you.
- [BOTH GRUNT]
Yeah, you got me. Right.
[SIGHS]
Dude, what's going on with you?
You didn't say a word
the whole way over.
You didn't even look at
yourself in the rear view mirror,
which has gotta be a first.
I heard what you said to Katherine.
Okay.
Well, I didn't say anything to
her that I wouldn't say to you.
Give me a break.
"Good old Gary. Everybody's friend."
You tell me to come clean, to get help,
and everything will be okay.
So I do, and then, behind my back,
you give my wife
the green light to leave me.
- No, that's not what I said.
- Just Enough, Gary! Stop!
Look, I know you're in withdrawal
You don't know anything.
Look, I know what you're trying to do.
You're trying to fill Jon's shoes.
But let me be clear. You are not Jon.
You never will be Jon,
because Jon would never stab
a friend in the back like that.
You told Katherine it was
okay for her to leave Eddie?
Well, it sounds bad
when you say it like that.
Alexa, set a reminder
Never let Gary near
Regina after we fight.
ALEXA: When should I remind you?
- Alexa, never mind.
- Hilarious.
I'm glad someone's having a good day.
I wish.
I got into a fight with
my old man this morning.
He's now convinced every penny he finds
is a gift from my mother.
I don't even know what to do with that.
Maybe you let him have this.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I-I'm trying to reach Mr. Gary Mendez.
He's the guy who mercilessly
mocked his girlfriend
for going to a psychic.
Speaking, which is why I don't want you
to make the same mistake I did.
Not because that guy was legit.
He wasn't.
But who cares if it was real or not
if it helped her get
through losing her brother?
And the same goes for your dad.
People deal with loss in different ways.
Which apparently all
involve throwing away money.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Hey, Mom. How's he doing?
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
What do you mean
he has to eat more fruit?
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
I'm not being sensitive.
Let's just finish making
the mandu so I can do my work.
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
[CHUCKLES] Mom, we have
plenty of plastic containers.
- We don't need this.
- [SPEAKING KOREAN]
Can I just throw this away, please?
[SIGHS]
You know, your father
wasn't perfect either.
I forgot. I have to go.
Left some files at the office.
And what did your mom do for a living?
She's a she was an EMT.
A first responder, essential worker.
- That can help her case.
- See? That's good news.
Yes. Now, Tyrell
do you know how your mom
was able to get a job,
given her status?
Oh, it's okay.
You can trust him.
She used my dad's
Social Security number.
He was born here,
and after my mom got pregnant with me,
they were gonna get married but,
he passed away before they could.
Using his soc was the only
way that she could get a job.
Which means she pays taxes.
Doesn't that help?
She's a contributing member of society.
Yes, but she falsified documents.
[SCOFFS] What was she supposed to do?
If she didn't do that,
she couldn't get a job.
Look, I know she meant well,
but what she did makes
this case a lot harder.
She had no choice.
- Regina
- [SIGHS]
the delivery guy's here.
REGINA: Thanks, Jake.
I'll be right there.
No, I'll do it.
- Beats wasting my time here.
- Wait, Tyrell
Thought you said he was gonna help me.
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry.
[INDISTINCT MUSIC PLAYING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[KNOCKING CONTINUES]
Alright, Bloom, I'm coming in!
I knocked three times.
That is my limit for my own place.
[CABINET SLAMS]
Hey, now.
[GASPS] Ooh.
Easy on the woodwork,
or I'm telling the landlord.
Sorry. [SIGHS]
I don't know why I'm telling you this,
but, um, Dr. Stein's nurse
gave Jamie her number,
and now he's off hiking
the Freedom Trail with Nora.
[LAUGHING] Dr. Bloom,
are you a little jealous?
No.
Doctor?
Okay, yeah, fine, maybe a little bit.
And I know that that
is completely natural
in these kinds of relationships.
I mean, I told him to go,
and he can date whoever
he wants, as can I.
I mean, t-that was the agreement.
You trying to convince me or you?
I'm sure you two will be back
to whatever it is you are
by the time you leave for Oxford.
Oh, yeah, well, there's that.
Uh, Dr. Stein told me that
I should not be traveling
because of this pandemic.
So we're stuck in the States for now.
Well, I'm stuck raising Delilah's kids,
so you're welcome to stay
here as long as you need.
- Thanks.
- Provided, of course,
you promise to, uh,
stop taking your jealousy
out on my cabinets.
[CHUCKLES]
So, what are you doing here, anyway?
I, uh, came by to thank you
for helping Darcy get
the treatment that she needs.
And to apologize for being
short with you yesterday,
no pun intended.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, and since I'm, uh
I'm here, I'm just gonna
gonna grab something real quick.
Um, bottom drawer.
Alright. [SIGHS]
- Last chance, Bloom.
- Mm.
Gary, um
I-I really like what we're becoming,
and I know that you got that ring
because you thought
I wasn't gonna make it.
And if that year had been
the last year of my life,
it would've been a
a really amazing way
for it to have ended.
Well, I'm glad it wasn't.
So I guess I'm glad you didn't get this.
We've both come a long way.
We really have.
I'm with Darcy.
And you're with Jamie.
And he's with Nora.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Katherine?
Alan. Hey.
Hey. I saw your car out front.
Why are you working on a Saturday?
Didn't you see the door?
You're the boss.
Everything okay?
Hey, um, Tyrell?
TYRELL: Yep.
I can't even begin to imagine
how tough it is to hear
that we might not be
able to help your mom.
But I know you're strong
enough to face it head-on.
And it's better to hear the truth now
and to prepare for it
rather than be in denial
and learn about it later.
Understand?
It's just so hard when
she hasn't even called.
My phone. Ugh. I left it at the bar.
- JAKE: That yours?
- Yeah.
I think you just missed a call.
What?
MAN: This is a call from
a detainee at the Department
- of Homeland Security
- Oh, my
WOMAN: Martine Epps.
Oh, my God.
Watching Tyrell listen to
that voicemail crushed me.
And he called back and just
got an automated recording.
You know, maybe Maybe we shouldn't
do this with Dad today.
We can light a candle
with Pop another time.
No. No, no. He needs you.
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey. Hey, Tyrell.
Gina told me what happened.
That really sucks, man. I'm sorry.
But we can give the number to Alan
and see if he can find out
where they're holding her.
It's not nothing.
Hey, look, bro, I-I-I know how you feel.
Right. I didn't realize
your mom was taken by ICE.
That's fair.
But my mom was taken
from me with no warning.
And if your mother's anything like mine,
she's not gonna quit trying
after one missed phone call.
Moms always have a way
of reaching their sons.
And why do you think
you feel this way, Eddie?
[SIGHS]
'Cause they're all against me.
My, uh my best friend. My wife.
My son is all I have left,
and, you know, he's just mad at her
'cause he's too afraid to be mad at me.
But sooner or later, he's gonna
realize that's what's going on.
And I'm gonna lose him, too.
So what you're saying is you took pills
knowing what could happen,
you lied to your family,
stole from your friends,
broke your vows,
and the person you're most
worried about in all this is you?
No. Okay? I, um
Of course I'm worried about them.
Katherine and Theo and
Charlie are everything to me.
Oh, you could've fooled me,
because you never
once stopped to mention
what they're going through,
you know, what it's like
for your wife to discover
that you lied again,
or for your son to be thrown
into that kind of chaos.
Hey, I didn't talk
when you talked. Is
- COUNSELOR: Jackie.
- Sorry, but
all I'm saying is,
right now, above all else,
your son needs to know he's safe.
But from what you just said,
it sounds more like
you're worried about
what he thinks of you.
Can't have it both ways.
"What man of you, having 100 sheep,
if he lost one of them,
does not leave the 99 and go
after the 1 which is lost.
And when he hath found it,
he layeth it across
his shoulders, rejoicing."
That was your mother's favorite passage.
You guys got another candle?
I thought maybe I could
light one for my mom.
Of course, sweetie.
Thank you for this.
It's exactly what she would've wanted.
Which is why she left those pennies.
They weren't leading me to church.
They were leading me to you.
Totally, Pop.
Totally.
[SIGHS]
I just really thought
things were getting better,
but I guess I was wrong.
So, what's going on over there?
- What, these?
- Uh, yeah.
I-I didn't figure you'd be
Someone who would have them?
That's exactly why I have them.
My whole life,
my parents told me I could be
one of three things
A doctor, a lawyer, or a failure.
I chose option "B," partially for them,
but I got these for me.
My way of being who I wanted to be.
I know exactly what
you're talking about.
I feel like so much of my
life is ruled by "I should."
I should be a good mom.
I should be a a good lawyer.
I should value what I have
and not throw it away,
even if it's a stupid
container I'll never use.
What?
N-Nothing. I just
Why do I have to be the good
wife and mother and daughter
when he gets to drink
and lie and and Ugh!
I'm just so sick of it.
I don't want to be Katherine anymore.
You know, for once, I just
I want to do something
because I feel like doing it.
Um
[GASPS] Uh
I can't believe I just did that.
[CHUCKLES] Uh, no, it's okay.
- I'm sorry. I'm
- Hey, I'm flattered.
- If you were sober and single
- Oh, God.
Hey, trust me,
I would be the one making a move.
- Stop.
- No, really. I would.
- Uh, look, it's okay.
- Mm.
Katherine, you've had a rough day.
Let me drive you home.
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Danny!
DANNY: I'm upstairs!
Soph!
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
Soph, come on. I'll make you a deal.
I'll, uh I'll tell you where
I went today over Chinese food
if you disinfect
the takeout containers, huh?
Alright.
I'm coming in.
Get me out of this place
on a train or a car
Just somewhere far away
You. Where's your sister?
- I don't know.
- Try again.
Please don't make me be a narc.
I don't need you to be a narc.
I just need you to rat out your sister
and tell me where she is.
You realize that while you're stuck here
- obeying the rules, she's
- Out with Jake.
- Just somewhere far away
- I knew it. [SCOFFS]
Lift up your head,
it's gonna be okay
She turned off Find My Friends.
Did you try calling her?
Way ahead of you.
[LINE RINGING]
[IPAD VIBRATING]
Uh-oh.
Alright, I need her pass code.
Well, I'm not supposed to know,
but I know.
But I'm not gonna tell you,
because that would be a betrayal.
- Dan.
- And I only have one sister
who knows "two" many things about me.
One, two. Keep not telling me.
And I would "h-eight"
for her to find out what I did.
Eight. You saying eight?
No, I'm saying "he-eight."
- Twice.
- 2, 1, 8, 8.
Dude, that didn't work.
Yeah, that's because it's 1, 2, 8, 8.
Aren't you an accountant?
I'm not an accountant. I'm an actuary.
I work heavily with numbers,
but I feel the need to clarify.
Anything?
Yeah, a text to Jake.
"I don't care about Gary's rules.
He's such a hypocrite.
I'll be there in 15."
You stay here. I'm going to Jake's.
GARY: She broke the rules.
And she misspelled "hypocrite."
DR. STACY: Hey, hey,
everyone has a "but."
"But I'm afraid." "But I'm too old."
"But what if he doesn't feel the same?"
It's ti
[SIGHS] Everybody's got a "but,"
and you're talking
out of yours right now.
- [SIGHS]
- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Hey.
Oh, hey.
So, how was the Freedom Trail?
Uh, it was fine.
It was fun. I-I learned a lot.
I feel like if my guys had
pushed just another week,
we might've won that thing.
Uh, look, I'm sorry if
I was acting weird earlier. I
I got a little jealous when
I found out about you and Nora,
but that's my stuff,
and you should totally
keep going out with her if you want,
because, ultimately,
we know what we are.
I I'm not so sure that we do.
Um
Y-You know, you said earlier
that you thought it was cute
that I was nervous at your screening.
I I w I wasn't nervous.
[SIGHS] I was terrified
because of how afraid I was that
That you weren't gonna be okay,
and I realized that
I can't stay here.
What are you talking about? Why?
Because the whole time I was with Nora,
I just wanted to be with you.
And then just now,
hearing that you were jealous,
this isn't what we wanted.
This isn't what we promised each other,
or ourselves.
I
I was married to someone,
and that marriage kept me
from being who I needed to be.
I mean, the same thing
happened with you and Gary.
You said it on the podcast.
As much as he wanted you to be together,
you needed to figure out who you were.
And you're figuring it out.
I'm watching it happen.
It's beautiful.
- Yeah, but you're helping it happen.
- No, I'm not.
It's all you.
Listen, I
I care about you so much.
So much so that I want you
to see your dreams come true.
Which is why I have to go.
Okay. [SIGHS]
[LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
Well, I'm glad I was able to
help you get your faith back.
Look, Dad, you believe,
and that's great.
And what about you?
You only go to church
'cause Mom dragged you.
Don't start acting like you
were always so religious.
Yeah, maybe I was dragged there,
but I got something along the way.
- Your mom gave me that.
- Great.
[CHUCKLING] Why do
you care what I believe?
- 'Cause I want you to believe.
- Why?
Because I need her to be in Heaven.
I need to know she's in a better place.
In a better p What place is better
than being right here with you and me?
You know what?
I'm not fighting with you
on your mom's birthday.
- Dad.
- No.

"PENNIES FROM HEAVEN" PLAYING]
[SIGHS] Oh, my God.
It rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud
contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune fallin'
All over town
Be sure that your umbrella
is upside down
TYRELL: Yep.
- Hey, hey.
- Hey.
I got you a little something.
Let me guess. "Empire Strikes Back."
[AS YODA] "Mm,
the force is strong with this one."
- Thanks.
- [CHUCKLES]
That's a pretty big bag for just this.
[NORMAL VOICE] Well, I might
have done some light shopping
while I was there, including
A fitness band?
Trying to make sure I get my steps in?
Ha-ha. No.
[CHUCKLES] No.
It syncs with your phone,
so if you get a call coming in,
it'll notify you.
That way, even if your
phone is not right beside you,
there's no chance you'll miss
the next call from your mom.
And there will be a next call,
because, like Rome said before,
mothers always find a
way to reach their sons.
Thanks.
Who knew booking a same-day
flight could be so easy?
They've even upgraded me to first class
because I said "schedule" like I do.
Wow. All it took was a global pandemic
to bring out the best in people.
Yeah, right? 2020
the year of toilet paper hoarding
and first-class upgrades.
Mm! You really are Jamie Poppins.
You You just came into my life,
we jumped through
some paintings together,
and just like that [SNAPS FINGERS]
time for you to go.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
I was wrong about one thing, though.
We do know what we are.
Yeah.
[AS MARY POPPINS] Practically
perfect in every way.
Well, that might be pushing it a bit.
[NORMAL VOICE] No, from, like
from the movie.
W-What movie?
"Mary Poppins."
Oh, right.
I've, uh, actually never seen it.
What?
But I-I want to.
Who are you?
You know who I am.
[CHUCKLES]
It was nice doing sex with you,
Margaret Bloom.
Nice doing sex with you, Jamie Clarke.
When life leaves you hopeless
Lying alone with
A heart full of questions
That haven't got answers
Sometimes the darkness
Can feel like it's endless
But as lost as the light seems
The sun will rise
When you're surrounded
By nothing but shadows
That stand up like mountains
That you can't see over
It's easy to think that
your world might be broken
EDDIE: Of course, bud.
You can call me anytime.
And I'm glad you called
now because this morning,
I didn't get the chance
to tell you something important.
The only thing that
matters to me right now, pal,
is that you know that you're safe.
You're gonna get through this.
And there is no one better in the world
to take care of you than Mom.
And don't worry about me.
I'm gonna get better.
That's the thing.
I don't know if you will.
Well, then,
I'm just gonna have to show you.
I love you, bud.
Love you, too, Dad.
Hi, T.
I called Dad to make sure he's okay.
He really needs us.
Bye, Pal.
I'll go tell Grandma
it's time for dinner.
The sun will ri-i-i-se
Hi, Katherine.
Listen, I've been thinking
about things, and
The sun will riiiiise
Jake!
- Gary?
- Yeah, mask.
Where's Soph?
I-I don't know.
That's surprisingly believable,
but I know she's here.
- Soph!
- She's not here.
I haven't seen her in weeks.
Not since she broke up with me.
What?
Then what's this?
She never sent me these texts.
That's my name,
but that's not my number.
She must be seeing someone else.
