Windfall s01e04 Episode Script

Maggie, face it.
The odds were, something terrible was going to happen to at least one of us.
Lotto winners have unusually bad luck.
The statistics are amazing.
Oh, so what, Zoe drew the short straw and reduced our chances of getting kidnapped? If she were kidnapped, where's the ransom note? I mean, they say if you're missing for more than 48 hours, you're dead.
Mom Oh, Addie, have you been on the internet again? It's all about the math.
Officially, Zoe is a missing person.
Unofficially, it's anybody's guess.
Nobody really knew her but Sean.
Turns out, we didn't even know him.
What do you mean? The cops were talking about him.
The guy was lying about his name.
Who knows what else.
Huh.
I don't know.
Is that the baby? A month ago, if you told me what money-- just money-- could do to our lives, I wouldn't have believed it.
There's good in it.
Yeah.
I'm seeing that, too.
Believe me.
Okay, the security meeting is set, all of the winners are called, we have done our duty.
I'm wondering if we have.
They installed security cameras and started building that wall the day after the lottery.
Wow, they were paranoid before they won.
George is a conspiracy freak.
Maybe we should check out those gated communities again.
20 miles over the speed limit, what'd you expect? They say you should just keep your hands on the wheel, and whatever you do, don't get out of the car.
Yes, I heard the cop, all right.
Will you relax, please? And any movement, it's alarming.
I mean, he doesn't know, you could have a gun or something.
What are you talk? I don't have a gun.
- What's in the bag? - Nothing.
What's in the bag? Nothing.
Trust me, you'd rather let me see this than the cop.
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.
- I am.
- Hey, give that back.
A gun? What the hell do you have this for? Look, if you're so scared, why are you driving all the way to Buffalo with me? 'Cause that's where you said Jeremy might be.
Because you think he has my sister, because he's - your old friend.
- He's not a friend.
I just want to make sure that if we find him and he has her that Zoe and I get out of this alive.
I don't care what Jeremy offers you.
For the record, originally, it was my money.
My question is, what would you do to get that back? Well, if security's your main issue-- and with kids and what's happened to you it should be-- I think the guard gate will really give you peace of mind.
- It's like a castle, Mom! - There's a lot of marble.
Hey, careful, you guys, don't slip.
You've seen the gym, the library, the screening room.
I know that nine bathrooms seems like a lot, but with seven beds, throw in live-in help, a weekend guest-- you'll need the space.
Take your time, but I think it's priced right.
Excuse me.
This is totally insane.
I feel like we're faking this.
I know, I feel like they're going to come and kick us out any second.
But you know what? They're not.
Some people live like this.
Why not us? Daddy, there's a giant pool.
And a built-in trampoline.
- Daisy already picked our room.
- It's a mansion! What do I like about it? It's friendly, but private.
Good fences make good neighbors.
- Dave Park.
- Peter Schaeffer.
Nice to meet you.
I just live down the street.
This is a great house.
It's not a bad commute downtown either.
Good to know.
You look familiar.
Have I seen you someplace? Oh, I don't think so.
Maybe we crossed paths downtown.
Where are your offices? I don't keep them, actually.
I sort of work for myself.
As an investor? Cycling venture.
You know, it's, uh, manufacturing.
You should meet Sy Fisk.
He got fat in hedge funds.
He's looking for a tangible investment.
- Peter - Hmm? Oh.
Hi.
Nina, this is, uh, Dave Park.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Nina Schaeffer.
I was just talking to your wife.
You're in the Tudor? French provincial, yeah.
So, did you make an offer? I think, uh, we're about to.
It's so weird the cops are here.
Yeah, they're gonna brief us on how to protect ourselves.
My mom thinks we're all gonna get kidnapped or something.
Tell her we need to stick together.
Safety in numbers.
So, um, how about it? You want to go out tonight? Yes.
I mean, yeah, okay.
All right.
What about Galina? Um, what does she do when you're not around? She just talks to the TV, you know.
Really she's trying to learn English.
It's cute, mostly.
Ah.
I see you ditched the Mercedes.
Good move.
Avoid carjacking.
No, I swapped with my cousin.
He's trying to impress some girl that he's seeing.
There's a lot of that going around.
Look at my ex, acting as if he's actually a winner.
I thought you won the latest round in your divorce hearings.
No, he filed an appeal.
Oh, Frankie You know, just when I think she has seen her dad for who he is One day that kid's really gonna get hurt by him.
You know, I think I am officially over being a news story.
I know.
Do you have any lipstick? Peter, where are the girls? Your mom took them in the backyard.
See if you can sneak in around back and get some shots.
Hey! Hey! - Peter - Hey! What happened to Zoe? Local police and FBI are working hand in hand to find Ms.
Reida.
We hear the place was torn apart, that you arrested the boyfriend, that guy Sean.
Mr.
Falsone was questioned and released.
Falsone? I thought his name was Mathers.
Because it's an open case, we cannot get specific about details.
However, there are other issues, incidents that you should be concerned about.
We've had some break-ins that seem to be targeting lottery winners.
At one residence, the perpetrator or perpetrators entered and left unseen.
At the other, there was a broken window.
However, the home alarm system seems to have deterred the burglars.
I was looking into a security system.
You know how effective those are? Come on, James.
There you go.
Okay, look at you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've seen you around, too.
And we didn't talk until now? Here you go.
Okay, check it out.
She's 12.
He's still married.
And a parasite.
Addie, let it happen, it's Sunny, it's a parasite convention.
I say break out the hats and the noisemakers.
You have beautiful eyes.
- I mean it.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Really? - We'll get the next one.
- No problem.
And about the business, I want you to know I'm still thinking about it.
Don't worry about it.
I talked to some people, investors, so, uh, we're good.
Are we? We've been friends for a long time.
Oh, I'm not the one that needs reminding of that, Cameron.
That's your fantasy, naked in a fur coat? Kind of cliche, isn't it? Pick a fabric, I'm animal friendly.
Couple of more mimosas, and I'll feel like I'm back in the fold.
Amen.
You know, I made these mimosas.
Really? Yeah, I always try to bring something.
That's who I am.
I'm a giver.
Good to know.
What's your phone number? Listen, what are you guys doing here? I'm doing fine.
So they know you at the hotel? Is the security good? Yeah, Dad, no one's going to kidnap me.
What about these parties? I mean, do you have any idea who's coming and going? I'm not an idiot.
Your father's just worried about you.
Well, he's got a messed-up way of showing it.
- Damien, we love you.
- Listen, uh We want you to come home.
There's got to be some changes, though.
You know, like that car has got to go.
It's dangerous.
I mean, it's too flashy.
You're just asking for trouble.
No.
No way.
I spent a fortune on that car.
I love that car.
Maybe I can use it on the weekends only.
And school, I think school is important.
Not happening.
Not going back.
Well let's talk about an equivalency degree then.
I think you need something under your belt, you know.
Damien, please you have your whole life to be an adult.
Right.
- Uh, what about Galina? - What about her? She is my wife technically.
She helped me, she doesn't really know anyone She's having a hard time fitting in.
Right, I guess bunk beds aren't really an option.
Let me think about it.
All right? Wow, I kept telling myself you were dead.
You knew that wasn't true.
Yeah, well, it helped on dates.
Jill, where is he? If you're talking about Jeremy, I haven't seen him in, like, months.
You're his sister.
He runs out of options, he comes straight to you.
He wouldn't show up here.
The cops The cops aren't exactly watching the house 24-7 on an old murder charge.
- Who's that? - Her name's Tally.
All right, just let us inside.
You don't want the neighbors hearing this.
Okay.
Come on.
Wow, where'd you get the TV? I bought it.
Doing what? Taking tolls on I-90? No, Jeremy bought it for you.
You want to know how? I told you, I haven't seen him.
And look, I'm, I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened to your sister What happened is, Jeremy took her.
Zoe fought him so hard, there was blood on the floor.
Sean, don't.
No, no, I'm sorry, but you need to hear this.
Okay, you got your nice new TV with her money and her blood.
Jeremy's got her down in some hole somewhere, and he's torturing her until he gets as much as he can out of her.
And then it's done, and so is she.
He wouldn't do that.
You can't let him.
Please.
Jill you used to ask me to look after him.
I tried, but now it's your turn.
Why don't you tell me where he is and I can stop him before it's too late.
He showed up a few days ago.
He was full of promises about how things were going to be better.
- I should have known.
- Where is he now? I don't know.
He comes and goes, like always, usually in the middle of the night.
Can we wait here for him? Yeah.
Thank you.
I know, I'm sorry.
I really wanted to hang out with you tonight.
Not hang out.
Go out, like on a date.
Just tell her you're booked.
It's New York City.
It's one night.
It's mother-daughter time.
It's exciting.
Her words.
Uh, you should go.
Uh, have a great time.
- I'll talk to you - I'll call you.
- Okay.
- Bye.
So I think New York just might be the right move for us.
What do you mean "move"? The city's filled with millionaires.
I mean, here, we stand out, we're at risk.
In New York, we're invisible.
Wait, you're you're talking about moving? Permanently? Relax, Frankie, it's just a possibility.
Let's see if you like New York first.
It's not like I'm kicking you out tonight.
You can stay as long as you like.
For a year? Because I sign up for English class.
Um Um, I uh, don't know about a year, um Look, I'm really glad you feel so comfortable around me, but do you do you want to put some pants on and maybe we can talk? Woman in gym give me American tan.
- Right.
- I have to let it dry.
Okay.
- Damien - Yeah? I don't understand.
First you say go, then stay; now go? I want to go home.
I want to I want to go home to my room, to my parents.
But you say to marry to be man.
Get money, be free.
I know, I I did, it's just I'm seventeen.
In Russia, in Europe seventeen is man.
Right.
I used to think you would like it there.
This room I have a nice time.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
I need investors for this company.
Dave Park can help.
Let me catch up.
This guy Park, who you just met, invites you on some fishing trip to God knows where? Our new neighbor, successful lawyer, potential investor and the finest fishing village in all of Baja.
And so you're just gonna go, while we're in escrow on a new house? Real estate people get paid a lot of money to deal with those details, Nina.
Well, I don't understand the need to impress this guy.
I mean, you couldn't even tell him that you won the lottery.
It takes smarts as well as luck to run a business.
I need him to think that I have both.
Especially now since our old friend Cameron can't be counted on.
Wait, now, when did he become our old friend? - Peter, he's your friend.
- I don't like being shined on.
So now he's not going in on the business with you? Well with Cameron, you know how he is.
He needs to keep his options open.
That way, when the next best thing comes along, you're not disappointed 'cause he never promised you anything.
Hell, you ought to know that better than anybody.
I'm sorry.
We never used to fight like this.
I never asked for anything before.
That came out wrong.
I I thought I had everything I needed.
Well, that came out worse.
I gotta pack.
So it's a subway ride to the Met-- not that I would let you on a train-- and the shopping in TriBeCa, the people Is this place like a hotel? Why is it all furnished? Mom? What am I doing here? Surprise! I bought it.
Wait.
You bought the apartment? No, but you said we were just looking.
I specifically asked you I also said "surprise.
" Frankie, don't you love it? Mom, back home I have a life, friends, school, a father! Oh, Frankie, don't even get me started on that one.
It's just a pied-a-terre, a second home in the city.
Well, it's a third for me, if anyone's counting.
One simple "thank you" would be nice.
Not that I'm counting.
Mom, I just If you already own the place, then why did we have to come here today? I had plans.
- Hello? - Marco! Yes, we're here.
Oh, dinner sounds great.
Yeah, I'd love for you to meet her.
Okay, Elaine's.
Wait.
Frankie are you up for Italian? Food or boyfriend? Who's Marco? Okay, we'll talk about this in a minute.
You're gonna like him.
Hey.
No, everything's fine.
She's just being a teenager, that's all.
Hello? Hey, it's me.
Frankie.
Hey! How are you? How's NYC? Where are you staying? Some building called The Welton.
It's like this super chic address, but it kind of looks like a warehouse.
You don't sound so good.
Well, my mother just bought this apartment.
She totally lied to me about why we're here.
And there's some guy named Marco and some woman named Elaine.
Maybe it's a place Yeah, Elaine's.
I think it's a I think it's a famous restaurant.
Well, no way am I eating there.
Which means I'm stuck here alone.
Can you talk for a little while? Um uh, I'm sorry.
Actually, I gotta I gotta be someplace.
But, uh, maybe we could talk later? Yeah, sure.
I'll be here.
Okay.
Bye.
Frankie, it's me.
Damien? - Hi.
- Hi! Kind of ruins the surprise, but I didn't think you'd open up for a stranger.
Oh, come in.
Oh, wow.
Wait a minute.
How did you get here? Um, short plane trip, long cab ride, snuck past the door guy, up an elevator.
Wait, you took a whole plane trip to see me? Well, a half wouldn't have been any fun.
Shut up! How did you find me? Well, you gave me the name of the building.
You practically sent me an invitation.
I just I can't believe you're here.
It's in a good way, though, right? It's not too stalkery or? No! No! In the best way.
Good.
So, yeah, here we are.
New York, New York.
Do you know anyplace to go? No.
Wow! You know, you kind of you kind of rescued me.
Is this okay? Yeah.
The inspection was supposed to be at 3:00, and you're calling now to cancel? Yeah, that's fine.
We can reschedule for tomorrow.
Hi, you've reached Beth and Cameron.
We're not home.
Leave a message.
Hey, Beth, it's Nina.
Look, I know that I said I was going to come by today with all the baby stuff, but I'm at the new house and, um, well, it looks like I'm Oh, God! I broke the mansion.
Uh! There's water gushing everywhere.
Look, I got to go.
I'm sorry.
You know, it may be interesting for you, Peter.
He's looking into some manufacturing.
A bike factory, right? Y eah.
- How's that going, anyway? - Uh, it's, um, it's good.
I met with the owner.
We drew up a letter of intent.
It's, um, it's a pretty serious chunk of change.
Yeah, well, you got it to spare.
You're one of the lottery winners, right? Yes.
Yeah.
How'd you know that? Remember? I thought you looked familiar.
I had my assistant check you out online.
It's called "due diligence" in the business world.
Hey, there's no shame in it.
From what I seen, it's more about how smart you are with your money.
You got a good idea.
Just need to get the word out.
Bring some investors in for a tour.
Yeah, yeah, I just It's with my wife.
You know? I sort of got to keep it on the down low.
She doesn't really know how much money that I'm we're in it for.
Yeah, that's money you can't get back.
Just give it a year.
She'll know you made the right move.
Peter, this is Esme, our guide to all things Baja.
Now, we got a little card game going on back there and, uh, well, we trade out hands for each other as the need arises.
I'm gonna go call my wife.
I'm gonna need to sleep early if we're gonna go fishing at dawn.
Uh, Peter, the deep-sea portion of our trip has concluded.
We got a guy who meets us at the airport with a cooler full of fish, if the wife needs convincing.
Now come on.
Listen to me.
Sy Fisk has got money to burn.
Don't let him blow it on a hand of cards when he could use it to finance your bike venture.
Come on.
I'll seat you right next to him.
I don't know.
What's the big deal? You lied to your wife already.
Come on, honey.
So, uh, the water's off and I can take a look at this pipe, but you really need a plumber.
How about that guy Peter knows? You know, it's okay.
I can deal with it.
Okay.
He's away in Mexico with some guys he barely knows.
He's meeting tycoons.
It was nice of you to come over.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry I surprised you.
I wasn't far from here when I checked my messages at home.
I keep expecting some sort of disaster with Social Services.
Beth said it may be a permanent situation.
I don't know.
I'm just trying to do the right thing, Nina.
For everybody.
It's a nice house.
I hope you guys will be really happy here.
Is there like a? Is there like a bedroom here? I'm just kinda tall for this couch.
Maybe we should stop.
- Actually, I'm fine.
- Good.
I can't! My mom.
So let's go to your room.
We can lock the door.
Come on.
I can pay the door guy a hundred bucks to give us a heads up.
- Come on.
- Mm might work.
Damien, I can't.
I'm not ready.
Okay.
We don't have to.
I mean, it'd be nice, but it doesn't need to be tonight.
Okay.
It's just that, um, when I say that I can't, I mean I haven't ever.
I'm 16.
That's a year younger than me.
But look at us.
It's not it's not like we're kids.
Yeah, but In Europe, it wouldn't even be a question, you know? What does Europe have to do with anything? It's just another way of looking at things.
- Yeah.
- Well yeah.
I should probably go.
- Sean, hey.
- Hey.
So, she's asleep.
Uh, yeah.
A while ago.
Then why don't you come up and stay with me? You know, I don't, I don't mean move back or whatever.
Just tonight.
I'm with somebody.
It's this girl who's gone missing.
Jeremy said that you barely knew her.
What else did he tell you about her? That she was pretty.
You know, I used to wonder what it would take to get inside of you.
I guess somebody found out.
Hey, there you are.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Everything's okay.
The baby's asleep.
No, no, no, that's okay, you're good.
Take your time.
I'm on duty.
How was your day? - I did good.
- Yeah? Bet you did your students proud.
What? Are you happy, Beth? I mean could you be Would it help? What do you mean? Let's do it.
Let's have a baby.
No, no, you cannot fax the forms because the fax machine's gone along with everything else! Mom? Listen, can I speak to an agent? No, I said I need an agent.
I've got the police report.
You know what? This is useless.
What, what's going on? I saw our forks outside.
Sweetie, we've been robbed.
I don't, I don't understand.
Who would? Probably the same people that robbed all the other lottery winners.
This isn't my fault.
Damien, they see a hundred-thousand-dollar car parked outside the house.
They're going to wonder what's inside the house.
So I'll move the car.
I think it's a little late for that.
It's there now because you asked me to come home.
And like an idiot, I'm here because I thought you gave a crap about me.
Damien, I'm I'm just trying to explain to you Explain what? Explain what? That your life sucks and you can't stand that mine doesn't?! That I was never going to be what you are, no matter what? You knew that.
You knew that.
Lottery's just another excuse for you to take it out on me.
Hey.
Hey.
You feel better? Yeah.
It's good.
You know, you should get out.
Oh! It's not good for anyone to be cooped up in here all day.
Worked pretty good for the kid.
Three bottles later, he's asleep.
Yeah? I was going to make some pasta.
You should get some air.
We got to eat.
Well, why don't you pick something up? Come on.
- You sure? - Yeah.
Where is she?! Where's Zoe?! What the hell? Nice to see you, too.
Tell me where she is.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Sean, what are you doing? You said you wouldn't hurt him! - Take his keys.
- You let him in here? I What? Where are you going? Let's go.
What are you nuts? Let him go, Sean! Get in the car! Let him go! You want the cops here?! Get in! He's got a warrant! He'll go straight to jail! Is that what you want?! Get in the car.
Get in the car.
Drive.
Hi.
Don't ask me what I'm doing here, 'cause the truth is, I don't know.
Well, then maybe you should go.
Maybe I should.
'Cause I don't want to hurt anyone.
I don't want to hurt your family, I don't want to hurt Peter, my best friend.
Your wife? My wife-- who I love, I do, I love her.
And I know you love Peter.
I was doing so well, pushing ahead away from you, and then here I am.
- This is so unfair.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
I was over you.
I can look at you.
At your wife in the eye without this voice banging inside my head asking Asking what? Does he still love me? And if not, then why not? And where did it go? Today, at your new house I thought if I could just get out the door I'm trying, but it's not going away.
If there's a way without hurting anyone, without breaking up your family, you know Are you talking about an affair? We could be together whenever I know this is hard - No, you have to go.
- Right, I do.
Okay.
- Sorry.
All right.
- Please.
Hey, what are you doing? Is for apartment.
What is "security"? Is it a lease? Did you find a place? But man say two year must stay.
$5,000 now.
$5,000 for security deposit on a $900-a-month apartment? Galina, that's crazy.
It's a mistake I make.
Look, let me talk to the guy.
No.
You pack, I pack.
We go.
You're not leaving tonight.
Okay, and you're not moving into that place.
The landlord is a crook.
Room over.
You move home.
I was going to move home.
I'm not.
Didn't really work out.
Like New York-- with Freddie? - No, Frankie.
- You're sad.
I just don't know where I'm supposed to be.
Or even how I'm supposed to be.
Or what I'm supposed to want or expect of people that I'm not even like anymore.
I like you.
No, I meant like, but I like you.
This is Eric.
Here's the beep.
You know what to do.
Dad, it's me.
Are you there? Hello? Uh, I'm in New York.
Mom's out somewhere, and I'm coming home.
The last flight gets me in at about 11:00.
You don't have to pick me up, or even be home if, um, the key's still under the mat.
So I guess I'll see you later.
Bye.
Hey, you're up.
I was just packing.
Trying to get rid of some stuff.
I promised the girls you'd wake them.
Looks like you caught some fish.
Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, it was good.
- Yeah? - How were the guys? - Just guys, you know.
I think I got this one banker interested in investing in the business, yeah.
That's good.
Hey, how'd the inspection go? There's some plumbing problem.
But the realtor's dealing with it.
One more time-- where's Zoe? What do you think, we're gonna see her chained to a fence post? I don't have her.
Turn up here.
You're really going to call the cops and have me arrested? Let them start shaking down those witnesses you bought? Lisa and Kurt all jack up on meth.
How long do you think their story's going to hold? Pull over.
Anywhere.
Right there.
Right there.
Your attention, please.
The Westlake Airport is a non-smoking facility.
Please do not park your car in a red zone.
Unattended vehicles are subject to immediate towing.
Sean, come on, what are you doing? Come on, get out.
Don't point that thing at me.
- Walk.
- Sean, don't.
You tell me where she is right now, or I kill you.
I don't have her.
I don't have anything.
Really? You were following her.
You were threatening her.
I saw that nice new TV at your sister's place.
Huh? How'd you swing that? Somebody here? I left the key outside.
I forgot to bring it in.
That's so stupid, with all the break-ins.
I got the money from the lawyer.
There's hardly any left anyway.
The guy made me buy my own plane ticket out.
You know h how expensive that is last minute? You're lying.
Stay in bed.
I do not have her.
If I did, do you think I've be driving around to drug stores buying friggin' cold medicine for Lisa and Kurt's meth lab? - Look in the trunk.
- Shut up.
I hear one more lie come out of your mouth Sean! Sean, he's telling the truth.
Look at all this crap.
He's making meth.
I told you I didn't do it.
You said that he'd have her, that we would find her.
What are we supposed to do now? Oh, my God.
It went off.
It just went off.
What have I done?
