Summer of the Shark

1 Previously on "Good Girls" I don't know what you've got me involved in, but it's something super shady.
- What do you want? - She's blackmailing us.
To the tune of $10,000.
We'll be shuting things down for a while.
- How long? - I don't know.
- What about us? - I guess we go legit for a while.
Welcome to Dandy Donuts, what can I get for you? I would suggest that we put Sarah on a list for a transplant.
- Who the hell are you? - I'm a friend of your friends.
- What's that? - It's that fool we arrested.
He's ours, now.
They have him.
The FBI! And he's talking.

- We have to tell Rio.
- If we tell him, he'll kill him.
It's that kid or us.
- Tag, you're it! - Tag! So, we're murderers now? Yeah, straight up execution is what it is.
Cold-blooded killing of a man.
His name is Eddy.
He likes his mom, vintage watches, and Mexican food.
What, I'm just trying to, like, humanize him before we - We're not killing anyone.
- What do you call it then? We're just telling a gangbanger that his boy's been flipped by the cops.
Yeah, and you know they're not going to couples therapy to work it out.
The second we open our mouths You just want to sit here and let him tell the FBI all about us? We're looking at 20 or more, and I'm not doing that.
You're it.
Let me just say It's one thing to wash fake cash or rob a grocery store.
But there is a line here, and if you cross it, you can't come back.
Then we don't come back.
- Have yourself a Dandy day.
- Thanks.
You too.
Welcome to Dandy Donuts.
What can I do for you on this Dandy day? Two decafs and a glaze please! - Stepping it up.
- Yeah, thanks.

It pays an extra 75 cents an hour.
I have two kids, so.
Can I please get a large coffee and a glaze? Come on, pep in your step, folks! Okay, okay.
Here you go.
Dude, this is a promotion.

Okay? It's got the three-day battery, so it's not gonna short out on you.
You're not gonna drop any phone calls unless you put that thing in the toilet bowl or something.
- Do not do that.
- Please don't do that.
- What do I get? - A hug.
And you get a very important job, little money, because you need to make sure that your sister has got this phone, okay? Because we have to be able to be reached by the hospital day or night.
- Can I get Instagram on this? - Forget Instagram, baby doll.
You got a big ass healthy kidney coming! Top of the list! Top of the list! New kidney, new kidney - Top of the list, top, top - New kidney, ah, ah New kidney, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Can I go do my homework? Oh, my God, I love you.

Okay.
- I mean - I know! - It's happening.
- It's all happening, babe.
- So if this call comes - When the call comes baby, when.
How are we gonna pay for it? Insurance is gonna cover some.
It's gonna be almost 100 Gs out of pocket.
Hm.
I know.
Have you heard from corporate yet? - What? - No, I'm just saying it'd be real good if, you know, you got your business started back up.
Yeah.
It would.
Oh! Oh, God, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, sorry! What are you even doing here? What are you even doing here? - I live here.
- I mean, kinda.
It's it's my house.
I mean, kinda.
How long are you gonna stay? - How long are you gonna stay? - Look, just stop, please.
Sadie is with Greg.
Oh.
Well, sorry That's sucks.
I didn't know.
Yeah.
And Bethie said I could stay here until I feel better.
- That's great.
- Mm-hmm.
Mi casa, es su casa.
Gracias, hermano.
So how you feeling right now? Not so good, Deansie.
Settle in.
Hm.
Uh-oh.
What happened? - Oh, nothing, just get some - We're just having a chat - quality time together - about all this stuff We got to go.
We've got that thing.
Bye.
Y'all ready to be back in business or what? What do you have in mind? Just need you to go pick up a truck for me.
- In Canada? - No.
Right here.
Parked in a garage off I-75.
What's in it? Yeah, you ain't got to worry about that.
Just go get it, and we're good to go.
I thought y'all would be more excited than this.
But, hey, if you don't need to get back to work then Oh, we do.
We do.
There's something we need to talk about though.
Yeah, uh, none of us drive stick.
I mean, everything's automatic, so I just never learned.
I don't know about you guys, but You know what? It'll be fine.
It's not an 18-wheeler so problem raised, problem solved.
Problem not solved though because there's the other problem.
Which is a much bigger problem.
Are you bitches trying to do this or not? Hey, we got 99 problems but this bitch ain't one, okay? So we're in like Flynn.
Where the keys at? We're gonna get pinched the second we pull that thing out of that garage.
Now look who's down with the lingo.
There's no way that kid didn't tell the FBI about a truckload full of God knows what.
And Sara will literally be bumped off the list if we don't get the money.
- Wait, seriously? - You have to pay up front - before the surgery.
- What? You can't like finance it or something? It's a kidney, not a refrigerator.
All right, this is it.
Up here on the left.
There it is.
I mean, I don't see any cops.
Yeah but that doesn't mean they're not around.
What do you think it's in it? The next shipment of fake cash? Bodies.
Dozens maybe.
Could be hundreds if they're chopped up.
- Just give me the keys.
- Now? We got to get back in business.
Oh, dude, don't do it.
Seriously.
It's my family.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Maybe we should ask Stan first.
- We? - Well, you.
You want me to ask my cop husband if his cop friends have their eye on a truck that's potentially filled with dead bodies.
Well, I would be a little bit more subtle, but that's your call.
You okay? I mean, just add it to the list of things I'm not okay with.
Like taking orders from grown men who go by the names of Bullet, Demon, and Mr.
Cisco.
Which one is Mr.
Cisco? Ew! You are making those names up.
I am not! I saw the one with the skull tattoo call the one with the grill "Mr.
Cisco.
" Now, whether that's a God given name or a nickname I don't know, but he answers to it.
I am truly disturbed.
Yeah, well get in line.
Mr.
Cisco is the one to watch.
Mark my words.
Nothing but trouble.
Let's go.
Please.
Ma'am, did you find everything okay today? Um, yeah.
Where do you guys hide the baby formula? Hi, by the way.
Uh, it's in aisle six with the diapers.
Duh, obvs hey, honey, aisle six.
Will you go get some baby formula? Okay, but nothing organic or expensive.
A few pesticides never hurt anybody.
Did they? No, they didn't.
Oh, my God, this is so random, but - Can I have this? - No, no candy.
Um, do you know anything about hot water heaters? They keep your water hot.
Right, until they get old and rusty.
- Right? - Call the plumber.
I did, believe me, but the whole thing cost me 8,000 bucks plus another 1,500 to dry the carpets.
We just gave you $10,000.
- What about this? - One, okay? I know.
And I feel so sick about this, but what am I gonna do? You know, I got to feed my kids, right? Oh, hell no.
Oh, come on.
I just need to get through to next month.
I need a restock at register three.
Restock at register three.
So you don't have like a house account or - No.
- Um, how about a "You Gave Me Counterfeit Money to Spend" account? Do you have one of those? Or a, um, what are those things called? Um, an "I Can Still Call The Cops on You" account.
Maybe? No? All right, well just put the whole thing on the "I'm What's Keeping You Out of Jail" account.
We'll just we'll just call it a day.
Sound good? You're the best.
Thank you so much.
- Don't forget the candy bar.
- I got it.
I found it.
Thanks, honey.
Okay, I said not organic though.
Eh, it's fine.
It's on sale.
Oh, and I brought my own bags, so, you know, that's good for the environment.
- Oh, hey, you.
- Hey.
- How are you? - Good, how are you? Can I hug you at work? Is that allowed? - Yeah, that's fine here.
- This is my brood.
Guys, please stay in the store at least.
- Kids are down.
- Good.
What you got there? Uh, what is that? - Leftovers.
- From when? - Nelly concert, 2003.
- Babe.
- I am an officer of the law.
- Off duty.
I shouldn't even be seeing that.
- It's getting hot in here - Oh, my God.
So hot, so take off - All your clothes - Put that away.
I am getting so hot - Nah, see.
- I want to take - My clothes off - You need to stop playing.
You need to stop playing.
- You remember that show? - I was like Good gracious, ass is bodacious - Ooh - Flirtatious Trying to make faces Ooh What's going on with you? I don't know.
I just, you know, finally seeing some light in this damn tunnel.
Yeah.
Haven't we earned at least one night off? - Kids are down? - For the count.
You're with a winner so baby you can't lose - I can't.
- I got a secret Can't leave Cancun It's solid I mean, it's solid pine.
And I countersunk the screws.
And these are for paint or modge-podge or whatever.
What do you think? It's really, really nice.
It's rustic on purpose.
I left it unvarnished in case you want to, you know, decoupage or whatever.
- If a bug has six legs it's - Disgusting.
- You hate it.
- No, I don't.
I don't.
The woodworking is top notch.
I just think maybe I'm not as into crafting as I used to be.
Oh.
Well, it's not only for that.
It's for your stash.
You could put like 1/2 million bucks in there easy.
That way you don't have to hide it in the dog food container.
- I don't have a stash anymore.
- Yeah, but you're going to.
Right? Soon.
I love it.
You do? Yes! Hey, Kenny, you want to know a fun bug fact? - Mm-hmm.
- The girl praying mantis eats the boy after they have sex.
- What? - Oh, yeah.
She just bites his weeny little head right off.
He's so obviously trying to get back in your pants.
- Please.
- He's using your bathroom.
He lives here.
Ugh.
Since when? Since he got cancer.
Really lucked out on that one.
Yeah, that's what they call cancer patients, the lucky ones.
You are making a giant mistake.
You just slept with your ex.
Dude, he cheated on you and almost left you and your family homeless.
In the middle of a custody battle, no less.
I'm sorry, but do you remember what he bought that little skank? Of course I do.
I'm gonna need you to say it.
- Underwear.
- Nah.
That was not underwear, baby girl.
That was bedazzled vagina floss.
Okay? And it was horrible and humiliating.
- And you're starting to forget.
- No, I'm not.
Then you're starting to forgive him - which is way worse.
- Let me worry about it.
It's my marriage.
- You can't do both.
- Both what? You can't be this sweet little wifey, and then also this like badass criminal boss lady.
I sound like Carmen Sandiego.
You should be so cool.
Can we just go to bed? Aw, man, all your drama made me have to poop.
Oh, my God.
You have got to go home.
Want a little bit of, ah, ah And a little bit of, ah, ah - Babe.
- Yeah? Can you turn it off now? Why? I thought you loved it.
'Cause if I listen to it one more time, - I'm gonna need to dance.
- Yeah? And I am in no condition To get my groove on right now.
- No? - No.
But it's hot in "here.
" Oh, my God.
Okay.
Hey, you still pack little money's lunches with those cheese puffs in there? - I like where your head's at.
- He gonna be mad though.
You could take him.
He's tiny.
- He is.
- He's so small.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, but I could also get the cookie dough out the fridge, too, though.
Do it, do it, do it, do it.
- What.
Yes.
- Do it.
Okay.
I'm a genius.
Okay.
What's up? - I forgot.
- You called me.
I forgot what I was supposed to ask Stan.
- Huh? - Literally.
What am I supposed to be asking? Dude, are you faded? I mean, yeah, he gets chatty when he smokes, so Well played.
So what am I supposed to be asking? If the kid told the cops about a truck.
Right.
Okay.
I mean, can you just do it? - What? No.
- I can put you on speaker.
Trust me.
That would be super weird.
- It doesn't seem that weird.
- Just slip it in there.
You know, real cas'.
No big deal.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Hey, babe.
So that gangster kid that you all flipped, did he say something about a truck or something? A'ight so we sit this kid down, right.
And before we can even start, my man's acting like he's about to get water-boarded or something like that.
Starts singing like a bird.
- For real? - Yes.
Talking about places, - time, faces.
- Stop.
- Names.
- Trucks? What? All kinds of stuff.
Tyler.
You got a sec? Oh, I'm technically on break for three more minutes.
Well, I don't think you're gonna want to wait to hear this.
Am I getting a Segway? No.
No, this is not about a pursuit vehicle.
Um.
Is it about the hamburger meat? I'm making you employee of the month.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
Well, not this month, but I'm putting you on the fast track.
- Thank you, Mr.
Petersen.
- Eh, come on.
Call me Leslie.
- Yes, sir.
Leslie.
- Rolls right off the tongue.
Uh-huh.
Hey, you know, um, I saw you were helping a lady out at Annie's register the other day.
You know, you gave her a hug? Oh, she initiated contact.
- Plus I know her.
- Oh, it's okay.
No, I was just wondering did you, um, meet her on the job? No, not this job.
Mary Pat's from my side job.
- Mm? - Yeah.
Oh, what's the side job? You know, it doesn't matter.
I mean, the only reason I was asking was because Ms.
Mary Pat left her club card behind.
So I just didn't want her to miss out on any Twofer Tuesday deals.
That's really nice of you.
Hey, um, you wouldn't have her number, would you? No but I do follow her on Instagram.
She mainly posts stuff about church and her kids.
It's pretty boring.
Hey, so, for employee of the month, is there gonna be a ceremony? See you, Leslie.
How sure are you? - Pretty sure.
- No, that's not enough.
I need, like, a percentage.
- 97%.
- Mm.
- Almost as accurate as the pill.
- More.
No, the pill's 99.
9%.
You can't be .
1% knocked up.
Uh-uh, that's if you take it perfect.
For most people, it's like 91%.
For you it was zero.
Okay.
Look, I'm never gonna remember every single thing that Stan said.
But I think we should just go for it.
All right, here's the test.
Do you remember that you called me? Yes.
Do you remember that you were so high you forgot why you got high? Mm-hmm.
Look, I'm pretty sure the cops don't know anything about a truck.
All right.
Who's gonna drive? Let's draw straws? I always lose at that.
So the straws? What about rock paper scissors? We can't do that with three people.
Why not? Basic math.
Everybody okay? No smokies on my tail.
Yeah, I'm good.
You guys, that was so sick.
They should totally make a movie about us.
Eh, no thanks.
- Wait, why not? - Because I'd have to be the wisecracking black getaway driver with one line who dies five minutes in.
Eh, true, true.
I'd be the Pacino.
Oh, you'd so be the Joe Pesci.
- What? - Total Pesci.
Because I'm short? It's like a whole Pesci vibe with you.
All right, you know what? Forget it.
The movie's off.
- Guys.
- Pesci vibe.
Guys.
What? There's a cop behind me.
Okay.
Okay.
Just relax.
Yeah, that's easy for you to say.
You're not the one hauling a truckload of life sentences here.
- Make a turn.
- Yeah.
- Lose that sucker.
- Don't lose him.
Just go slow and chill.
- See if he follows.
- Okay.
Okay.
What's up? He's still there.
Just keep it together.
We got you.
We're here.
You guys have to help Dean with the kids.
- He can't do it alone.
- Will you stop? And I don't want him marrying a bimbo.
Oh, he's 100% gonna marry a bimbo.
No bimbos around my kids.
All right, no bimbos.
Monday's pizza day.
The kids don't need lunch.
Dance Tuesday.
Same as the math tutor.
The dentist appointments are on the refrigerator.
Trash and recycling goes out Wednesdays.
What's that? What's happening? Beth? Beth.
Say something.
What's going on? I'll write it all down, but he'll need a village.
I got to go.
Is there a problem, officer? Driver's license and registration.
Just give me a minute.
I hope I wasn't speeding.
I've been rushing around like crazy all day.
Why's that? Um.
Little bit of a domestic situation.
Not a good guy, you know? Had to get out of there as quickly as possible.
#TimeIsUp, am I right? It's one of those.
- This your truck? - I borrowed it.
From a friend who's helping me with the domestic thing.
Am I in trouble here? First off, you're driving without a license plate.
My friend's a little bit of a mess too.
What's her name again? Sorry? The friend who loaned you the truck? Oh, it's more of a friend of a friend.
I need you to get out of the car.
You got a key to this lock? It must be one of these.
That's weird.
#TimesUp.
Praise him Praise him Ever in joyful song Praise him, indeed.
Amen.
Amen.
Okay, fellowship with your neighbors.
See you all next time.
Hey! Give me five! He's alive! - Give me ten! - He rose again! You'll like it here.
People are cool, the choir's strong Most importantly, how are the donuts? Oh, always fresh, always sprinkled.
Oh, sold.
Well, it was really nice to meet you, Leslie, and you know, you have a really good voice.
Oh.
Uh, would you ever want to grab a coffee or something, ever? - I can't.
- Oh yeah, no, totally.
- I get it, I get it.
- It's not you No, no, no, that's fine.
You don't have to.
- I get it totally.
All right.
- No, I - Sorry for bothering you.
- It's not Have a great night.
My husband's dead.
He passed away six months ago.
Do you think you could come back closer so I don't have to shout about it? Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
Um So it's not that I don't want to go.
I do.
I know I should get back out there.
But I am, you know It would just be downhill from here, so.
How did he pass? Heart attack.
He was, um, playing water guns with the kids.
My son thinks that he killed him 'cause he shot him in the chest with a Super Soaker right before he actually died.
Oh.
Told you it was downhill from here.
No, no.
That That was a good story.
Well, if that's what you're into, there's more where that came from.
Hey, it takes a lot to scare me off, okay? Okay, 2001, summer of the shark.
And guess who gets her period? Ew.
No, that's not a true that was a joke.
That was a bad joke.
Sorry.
Oh.
No, that was funny.
No, you're funny.
Well, if that's what you're into, there's more where that came from.
- I just got pulled over.
- So? So I barely talked myself out of being arrested.
For driving an empty truck? Why didn't you do it yourself? Why did you need us to bring you an empty truck? I had a kid.
The Feds turned him.
So this is a test? Needed to know if he talked.
I guess he didn't.
And now we're back in business.
You're catching on.
Give me the keys.
I have a family.
I have children.
Yeah, you love telling me that, huh? If you think you can use me like a worm on a hook so that you don't get caught I ain't got time to hold your hand through this.
Give me the keys.
That family you're always talking about? Go home to 'em.
What me and you had is done.
Over.
You can't just fire us.
You think I need you? Ain't nothing but a damn charity case to me.
- We need the money.
- And I need more of your bitch-ass drama like I need a hole in my head.
Go home.
What do you mean, you had a kid? What happened to him? What's that you're always saying about your rotten eggs and how you have to handle 'em? Go home.
I don't see how you're gonna let me do that.
Is it gonna be you? Or do I come home one day and your boys are in my kitchen? Elizabeth.
Go home.
Chimney fell on an old lady in Wixom, fatal car accident on Southfield Freeway hm, drowning? What kind of nut job goes swimming this time of year? You're kind of asking for it.
I don't see anything about a dead gang kid.
You're sure he's coming for us? We know too much now.
He'd be an idiot not to.
I mean, homie has made this threat before.
I'm telling you, it's different.
We're no good to him now.
He said the actual words? He just looked at me funny.
Sadie just did a project on Great Whites.
They have these inky black eyes that turn white right before they kill you.
Was it funny like that or? Okay, glass half-full.
He's just upset, and when he calms down he realizes we're good earners.
What's half-empty? Getting put in a wood chipper.
I feel like he's more creative than that.
Probably drop us in molten steel or feed us to pigs.
Everything's a joke to you? I just deal with it in my own way, okay? - What do we do? - Why are you looking at me? Because, you know, last time this happened you were all like, "Yeah, just try to hurt us.
We eat at PF Chang's, bitch.
" Can't you You feel really strongly about this.
"I've Got The Joy" just it just sounds better on an electric guitar.
I mean, no offense to Leonore's organ playing.
Jeff used to play it on guitar.
- Oh yeah? - Yeah.
He was also really into hard rock.
Like he knew every Creed song by heart.
You know? I was doing so good.
- You made it the whole night.
- Yeah, till now.
Well, you're home so it doesn't count.
I had fun tonight.
You're easy to have fun with.
Do you know why that is, I think? I've got the joy, joy, joy, down in my heart - Where? - Down in my heart - Where? - Down in my heart With a little electric riff, - it would sound so good.
- It would be so good.
- Uh - Should I put on some tea? - I, um - Oh, I don't mean to I mean, if you have an early morning or something.
Like, no pressure, if you I guess I could.
Okay.
- I can, if you're - Oh, yeah.

- Just stop talking.
What is up? All right, you want to know what's up? Yeah, I do.
Well I want to know what's up with those PJs.
I mean, really, you look like you're in a Dickens novel.
Who's coming for you tonight? Is it the ghost of Christmas present or the ghost of Christmas past? Actually I want to know - what's up with this car.
- Mm.
'Cause I don't think a homeless person would even sleep in here.
Hm, well, joke's on you.
'Cause a lot of homeless people have slept in here.
- Oh, is that right? - I mean, maybe not a lot but, you know, a fair amount.
Sort of like a selective few homeless people.
Yeah, I kind of have like a lottery system going.
- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.
Why are you trying to help me? You're the mother of my child.
Is that all I am to you? Come on.
You're not really gonna make me say it, are you? Do you and Nance have matching sets? Or is this a bespoke number? Take care of yourself, Annie.
What would it take for you to walk out on me? Mm.

- I'm serious.
- So am I.
You become a cheesehead, and you're gonna have to find yourself a new man.
- Stan.

You guys.
Maybe we should turn ourselves in.
- You want to go to the cops? - I know, I know.
