The Goodwin Games (2012) s01e03 Episode Script

Small Town

Hey, Chloe.
Hey.
That is mom's watch.
What? Oh, yeah.
I found it in dad's desk drawer.
I've always loved this watch.
So, we're just wearing our dead parents' things now? How about I go put on mom's wedding dress? I would pay money to see that.
And you do have a wedding coming up.
It could be your something old.
Enjoy the watch.
Shower's free.
You just got out? You were He was in there for over an hour.
Yeah.
To get water pressure like that in prison, there would have to be a riot on the yard.
They turned the hoses on us.
Guys, can we please go shopping? I've been in this whole vietnamese food kick, and I want to run by the Granby food barn and pick up some Pho.
Pho? Pho what? Pho putting in my mouth and eating.
I'm confused.
Pho is a vietnamese noodle soup that I guarantee they do not have at the Granby food barn.
Pho is pretty huge these days.
I'm pretty sure they have it.
They don't have it! Sorry, Chloe.
You are back in Granby.
No way! I worked too hard to get out of this town.
I am not getting sucked back in.
But the only way we get our inheritance is if we all move back to Granby.
Yeah, but it's not forever.
Pretty soon, we're gonna get that money, and when we do, I am on the first plane back to L.
A.
Believe it or not, I have people who miss me.
There's my roommate, my agent's assistant.
My hair stylist's assistant.
In prison, my hair stylist was my cell mate, Little Ed.
Not bad, huh? And he did that all without scissors.
Henry, he could bite you a pretty sweet do.
Oh.
Elijah.
Oh.
Hi, Henry.
Like my new car? This is my favorite car.
543 horsepower, V-10 engine, zero to 60 in 3.
2 seconds.
I wouldn't know.
Not much of a car guy.
Hold on.
You took the million dollars that our dad gave you in his will, and you bought a fancy sports car? No! I got two of 'em.
The other one's yellow.
Who are you?! I'm not fond of that young man.
You know what? I, for one, am excited that we're all gonna be under the same roof for the next couple months.
Until Henry has to run to work, like some guy with a job.
Hey, our dad just died.
The hospital understands that I need some time off.
Plus, Kate's been working around the clock on her congressional campaign, so I might as well spend it with you two bozos.
If your fiancée wins the election, does that make you the first lady of Providence? See, I know you're mocking me, but it actually has a nice ring to it.
I got to say.
Hi, Henry! Uh Elijah! Good-bye, Henry.
1.
03 - Small Town Hey, Henry.
I know it's early, but I think we should go fishing today.
Now, I don't have any fishing equipment, but I do have some M-80s that I found downstairs.
I think they still work.
They do.
Henry, you want to go fishing? Henry? Are you insane? Yeah.
Are you crazy? You're gonna wear that fishing? No, I'm wearing this to work.
I thought you were taking time off.
I did.
Two whole days.
What, Saturday and Sunday? That's a weekend.
Everyone takes that off.
Yeah, you guys know how it is.
Oh, wait.
No, you don't.
Okay.
That's it? You have nothing to say to your brother? Yeah.
Stay out of my room.
About lighting fireworks in the house? Oh, yeah.
That was awesome.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh.
I got to get going, too.
I'm gonna head to Yoga.
Yeah, I've got a secret project I need to work on.
Damn it.
Jimmy, why do you say that? See, now I'm gonna spend all day wondering about what kind of illegal nonsense you're up to this time.
Damn it, Chloe, why do you have to do that? It's all perfectly legal nonsense! I told you.
I'm out of the game for good.
I've heard that before.
I'm out of the game for good.
I even found a great place to live.
Oh.
Do you have any roommates? Just one.
He's been here ten years, and he said he's staying for life.
I'm out of the game for good.
You're in jail, aren't you? No, no.
In Mexico, they call it "cárcel.
" Hold on a second.
Chloe, I got to go.
They called my butt bluff.
I'm out at the Jimmy, I recognize the number.
I know you're back in jail.
Shows what you know, Chloe.
I am actually at the barber shop.
A bit more off the top, Little Ed.
That's it.
Trust me, this time, it's for reals.
You know what? It's not my problem.
So you just go ahead and work on whatever secret project you're working on, and I am going to check out that new Yoga studio.
Might be nice to pretend I'm back in L.
A.
, if only for a moment.
And Yoga! And Yoga! And five, six, seven, eight.
Yoga, Yoga, Yoga! Yoga! You go ahead.
I'll be right back.
Hello? Kirsten, it's Chloe.
I was feeling homesick, so I thought I'd call.
I miss you guys so much! Oh! We miss you so much! When are you coming back from brunch? Brunch? I'm not at brunch.
Well, wherever you are, on your way back, if you go by Wiener Burger, can you grab me a milk shake? What? Oh, you're right! - I'm disgusting.
- Kirsten, we talked about this.
I'm in New Hampshire, many thousands of miles away.
Well, when are you coming back? I have no idea.
It could be a while.
Oh, no! You have to come back tonight! You know Warren, the guy who lives above us who has the pet pig? He booked a pilot.
Warren booked a pilot? No, the pig did.
Anyway, he's taking everybody out tonight.
It's gonna be great.
Limo, bottle service, maybe even dinner at that new Pho place.
Oh, man.
I am so jealous.
I miss L.
A.
so much.
The only thing Granby has going for it is that there's, like, no crime.
And I spoke too soon.
What is he doing? So, wait if you're not coming back from Granby, can I rent your room out? 'Cause Warren needs a place for his pig.
What? No! Well, what am I supposed to do? I'll call you back.
What the hell was that all about? What do you mean? I saw you giving money to some sketchy guy.
Were you buying drugs? No.
Were you selling drugs? No.
And I was giving him the money, so that wouldn't make any sense, unless I was giving him change.
Jimmy, what were you doing? I told you, it's a secret! You know, if we can't have the kind of relationship where we trust each other, then I'm just gonna go eat my yogurt in my room.
That is my yogurt, and you can't get out of this conversation that easily.
Chloe, I can get out of this conversation whenever I want.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm very good at evading my pursuers.
Really? You've been arrested six times.
That number should be a lot higher.
It should be, like eight.
Do you really think you can get away from me? I know I can.
Henry? Jimmy? Jimmy? Jimmy! Jimmy? Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy? Jimmy! Jimmy! Very funny.
Jimmy? It's not funny! Jimmy? Jimmy?! Jimmy? Jimmy? Jimmy! James Ulysses Goodwin, you get back.
Jimmy! Jimmy wait.
Jimmy? Jimmy, just Yes, I know I said it was a simple procedure, but I didn't want to alarm you.
The truth is Your husband had a very slim chance of survival, and he's a lucky man.
Surgery's not till next week? Well, then, who did I? Nevermind.
Anyway, don't worry.
It's a simple procedure.
Okay? Yes, ma'am.
Bye-bye.
Henry, we have to talk.
Hold that thought.
Ah, there's my girl.
You were saying? I think Jimmy is back to his old ways.
He's using your toothbrush again? Ew! He does that? He thinks exposing himself to more peoples' germs just makes him stronger.
I just think it makes him more likely to get Hep C.
And you now, too.
Anyway, your brother is Need you to hold that thought one more time, okay? Henry, I just I'm still pouring.
Mmm.
Yeah, you're a bad girl, aren't you? I like that.
Can we put a bookmark in the John Cheever story you're living in and talk about the real problem here? Okay, look, I'm totally in control of my alcohol Well, the other real problem? Oh, sure.
I saw Jimmy in town today, and it looked like he was buying drugs, or a a gun, or endangered species meat or something.
I don't know.
Whatever it was, it did not look good.
And what do you want me to do about it? I need you to take time off work.
Absolutely not.
Henry, he needs constant supervision, and I can't be with him all the time.
Chloe, I'm a doctor.
Three minutes without you saying it.
I think that's a new record.
And as a doctor, I can't just take time off whenever I like.
My boss, Dr.
Richland, is a total hard-ass.
Legend has it she didn't even take maternity leave.
She delivered her own kid, and then worked a triple.
Jimmy's just gonna have to learn to take care of himself like a big boy.
He can't take care of himself.
He is a disaster.
Henry, you and I at least got a little bit of parental guidance before mom died.
He didn't get any.
Dad spent time with Jimmy.
What about their train set, huh? The train set that they worked on for four days before dad got called away to a conference and had to abandon it? I don't want him to go back to prison and get his hair bitten off by Little Ed.
He is getting a little shaggy on the sides.
Henry! Come on.
It's not that I don't love the kid.
It's just that we can't always be there for him.
You know, at some point, he's gonna have to figure it out on his own.
Well, if anyone's looking for me, tell them I will be in my bedroom with a full-bodied 12-year-old.
Don't tell them that.
I'll just deal with it myself.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I've decided we're going to spend the day together the entire day.
So we'll be around each other the whole day, constantly with one another? How fun.
That was supposed to be sarcastic, not sincere.
Come on, it will be fun.
We'll go to lunch, we can go shopping, we could even check out a movie later at The Hobson.
Have you been to The Hobson lately? I haven't been there in years.
The last movie I saw there was How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
I hope you liked it.
Are you kidding me? Hmm.
Jimmy, it's exhausting worrying about you.
The sooner I can get out of this ridiculous town and back to L.
A.
, the sooner I can get back to ignoring the fact that, every second of every day, you seem to be in extreme mortal peril.
Why wait? You could just stop worrying about me right now.
I would love to, Jimmy.
I would give just about anything for you to be normal.
Chloe, I'm not going to lie.
That super offended me.
Just for that, I'm gonna have to give you the slip, but this time for reals.
Oh, I'm sorry, Jimmy, I just Wow, that was really good.
Jimmy Goodwin, if you can hear me You know what? I don't care if you can hear me.
You are not my problem.
Besides, how much trouble could you possibly get into in Granby, New Hampshire on a Tuesday afternoon at? Son of a bitch.
He stole mom's watch, he stole mom's watch right off my wrist.
He's probably out pawning it as we speak.
Henry, I can't take this anymore.
You have to come home.
Chloe, for the last time, Dr.
Richland will not give me any time off.
You can't avoid your family.
Here's a counterargument to that theory.
Ah mm.
Son of a bitch.
Okay, no, thank you guys so much, really.
Thank you, it's really You know what I call what I did in there? I call it Tuesday I do, I call it Tuesday.
Hi, Henry.
Chloe, what are you doing here? This is a it's a restricted area, and you're embarrassing me in front of my friends.
I came to talk to this Dr.
Richland.
You can't.
She is in surgery in another building across the quad.
I'm Dr.
Richland.
Damn it.
Dr.
Richland, I'm Chloe Goodwin.
I'm Henry's sister.
Henry has a sister? You never told me you had a sister.
Do you live here in town? Actually, I live in Los Angeles.
Why do you say that like it's impressive? Oh, Hollywood.
Yep, Hollywood I kind of have to live there.
I'm an actress.
Chloe, no one cares what you Get out of town.
Get straight out of town.
Get on a bus, stay on that bus until you are outside the city limits.
You're an actress? Oh, that's so cool.
Oh, whatever, it's not a big deal.
It's not a big deal at all, very small.
Have you been in any movies? Only a little movie called A TV Show Called Bones where I played the substitute teacher of a potential witness who decided not to testify.
It was a very small I saw that one.
That was you? That was you.
Henry Goodwin, how could you hide this from me? Your sister is famous.
Nope.
A little bit.
Not at all.
A tiny bit.
Not even a tiny bit.
Well God, it must take so much courage to become an actress.
You're so brave.
I just saved a man's life.
He was declared dead ten minutes ago.
God, I don't know how you do it.
I saved his life.
Dr.
Richland, you are such a sweetheart.
I just can't believe you're the same woman who wouldn't let Henry take time off when our father died.
What are you talking about? I offered him a month's paid vacation.
He wouldn't take it.
So, Chloe, tell us more about Hollywood.
You are so busted.
Could you get a picture of us together, please? She offered you a month off with pay, and you didn't take it? No, I didn't.
Why? Chloe, what do I do if I'm not working? Huh? Go help out on Kate's campaign, where I'm just some lawn ornament sitting around, twiddling my thumbs, or or hang out with you guys in Granby, where I can spend the entire day being reminded I have to get back to work.
Wait, is that what this is about? You're trying to avoid the fact that dad died? So, what are you gonna do, work 24 hours a day for the rest of your life? Henry, eventually you're gonna have to stop, and when you do, the fact that dad's gone is still going to be there.
Oh, I know, and that's what scotch is for.
Scotch, work they sort of They take shifts.
And who knows? Maybe if I play my cards right, I can avoid it for the rest of my life.
Henry, look, I know that this family is a bottomless pit into which you can throw all your love and worry and concern and never get anything back but disappointment, but he's going to sell mom's watch.
And who knows what else could happen? So, please little help? All right, let's go.
Really? Yeah, but you do realize that, for the rest of the day, if anyone in this hospital dies, it's on you.
I'm okay with that.
All right.
That's my yogurt again.
And those are my boxers.
I'm sorry.
I'll give 'em back.
No.
Jimmy, where is mom's watch? That was mom's watch? Yes.
Oh, no.
I'm sorry, I just needed it for something.
For what? For my secret project.
Oh, get back here.
Never! Jimmy.
Jimmy! Jimmy! Not again.
Whoa.
Jimmy! Jimmy! Why are you chasing me? Why are you running? Hi, Henry.
Hey.
A little help, Henry.
Yeah.
Jimmy.
Jimmy! Jimmy.
Jimmy.
Jimmy.
Jimmy, that's my room.
Why'd you lock yourself in my room? It happened in the moment, and I have to commit to it.
Ooh, fresh boxers.
It's my roommate.
I forgot to call her back.
Hey, Kristen.
You have no idea how much I miss Los Angeles right now.
We miss you, too.
Anyway, we rented out your room.
What? Jimmy, come on.
Don't worry we put all your stuff in the car, locked it and parked it on the street.
What? You got a parking ticket.
Where should I send it? Leave it on the windshield.
Oh, that reminds me, your windshield's gone.
So is all your stuff.
Jimmy.
I'm hanging up now.
What happened? I got kicked out of my apartment.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
It's your fault.
If I hadn't been so busy chasing you all over stupid Granby, this never would have happened.
Now I'm homeless.
I have nothing and nowhere to put it.
You want to see my secret project? Fine.
The train set.
I thought you and dad gave up on this.
He stopped, but I kept going.
Pretty cool, huh? It's Granby.
Yeah.
I wanted it to be a surprise.
That gentleman that I was talking to is a fellow train enthusiast, and he sold me this.
Jimmy, this is amazing.
There's my Yoga studio.
Hey, there's the movie theater.
Yeah, and here's April, right outside the law office, and then over here, next to the cop car, is Keith.
He's checking out Lucinda as she walks into the church, you know, 'cause they're dating.
Yeah, I got it.
And then over here is Elijah in his fancy sports car.
And there's dad's grave.
And here's Piper eating an ice cream sandwich that her mother wouldn't let her have.
But I did.
Yeah, I kind of did this whole thing for her, you know.
One day, I'll teach her about model trains, but I'll spend more than four days on it.
I think she'd dig it.
And then check out the clock tower.
There's mom's watch.
Yeah, I thought it'd be cool if there was a real clock in the clock tower, but I can take it down.
No, Jimmy, it's beautiful.
I don't know, some of this detail work looks a little slapdash.
Slapdash? Slapdash.
Slapdash? I mean, I-I just think it could look a lot better.
You need someone with skilled hands a surgeon, for instance.
Maybe I could help you out on some weekends.
I guess that'd be okay.
And that reminds me, over here, that's us.
We're home.
So, Chloe, have you seen our adorable and unconventionally handsome brother Jimmy? Where is that rascal? He's supposed to give me a ride to my job as a super busy doctor.
Did Jimmy get a new car? Better.
Oh, wow.
Whoa.
Wow.
Hey, guys, like my new ride? Ostrich Plane, back to the Ostrich Cave.
Jimmy, I need to talk to you.
What is it, Henry? I love you, Jimmy, and I feel comfortable expressing that.
I love you as much as any fellow ever could, and as soon as I deal with my drinking problem, we're going fishing with explosives.
Ouch.
Do I have to be here for this? Yeah.
We're playing trains, Henry.
You're wearing a bandanna.
Now, act like How come Chloe doesn't have to be here? Because Chloe's busy.
Busy with what? You got it, almost there.
Now, monkeys, monkeys, Yoga monkeys, Yoga monkeys.
Peel the bananas.
Roll it, roll it, roll it, and roll it.
Pigeon pose, pigeon pose, and pigeon, pigeon.
Uh, uh.
Namaste, namaste, namaste.
Now, downward dog.
Oh, my God, this is real, this is actually Yoga.
And wag those tails, little doggies.
Arf! Nope, not Yoga.
