05x09 - Tell Me Sweet Little Lies

[bunniefuu]

The liquor license from the
last owner didn't transfer over.

Hopefully, this helps.

- DENNIS: That's illegal.
- RANJIT: I did it.

Your integrity remains intact.

Hey!

What the hell is going on here?

I am out bucks, so you owe me.

Dennis doesn't need to know.

DETECTIVE: Adam Miller
confessed to sh**ting the r*fle

and will be charged with
the attempted m*rder.

JOAQUIN: Adam is Silas' right-hand man.

WOMAN: Our daughter, Madison,

lived on the farm with Silas for a year.

Maybe you could help us find Maddie.

MARIANA: You need my help.

I need to feel like I
can do something right.

The council is bringing the Women's
Center proposal to the floor.

We need one more vote to get it passed.

Our only option is
Councilman Jack Hauss.

Maybe you just need to tell Evan

you guys used to be in a relationship.

DOCTOR: It appears Evan's
memory loss is limited

to the last two years or so.

It's better not to press
him to remember things.

MARIANA: I read Dylan's emails,

and he is definitely aligned
with the board members

that are trying to oust Evan.

I need to liquidate my positions

in small tech start-ups

to battle this attempted coup.

Bulk Beauty's on this list.

What are you doing here?

MAN: Next up, Item ,

motion to approve Center for Women

and housing insecurity.

This is it. Everything

MAN: Floor is open for public hearing.

Please don't. I can't do this.

BRAYDEN: But you want to.

I love Dennis.

Mariana, why did I go to
that farm looking for you?

The real reason.

You went to the farm

because we used to be in a relationship.

I made a deal with Yaddy.

I... clean the studio

That's great.

Love having you in class.

I love being there.

But, um...

I don't really want anyone else to know

that I'm doing this, if that's okay.

I got you.

Thanks.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- What's up? Come in.
- JOAQUIN: Hey.

So I've been reading Madison's chats

with these other players
on the Word Saga game,

and she told someone
that she had a brother.

Madison's an only child.

So that means...

That means the account's
not hers after all.

Or she lied about having a brother.

Or someone else is
playing under her profile

and actually knows something
about her disappearance.

Maybe they're responsible for it.

What's going on?

The board at Speckulate
is trying to push out Evan

while he's still recovering.

And...

in order to fight them,

he'll need to borrow $ million

and sell all of his investments,
including Bulk Beauty.

So what does that mean?

It means that Bulk Beauty
will probably get bought out

by a bigger company
and... (BREATHES DEEPLY)

we'll get laid off.

And after losing so many
subscribers because of Zelda,

we won't even get our
initial investment back.

We'll be starting over with no capital.

Isn't there something else he can do?

No.

They're gonna dilute his shares by %.

He's gonna lose controlling interest.

Okay, what about getting more shares?

From where?

Have you told your
friends at Bulk Beauty?

Not yet.

I mean, how will I even
tell them about this?

I'm really sorry.

Well, of all the gin
joints in all the world...

Ooh! She stumbles drunkenly into mine.

Ha-ha.

I had two, possibly
three, drinks tonight.

These after-rehearsal bar crawls

are becoming a regular deal, huh?

Ah, it's a theater thing!

You should join us
sometime and meet everybody.

Especially Brayden, who is super sweet

and you will love him.

Oh, love. Brayden, the sexy bartender?

Wait a minute. That's whiskey.

You told me you had to wait
six months for the license.

Yeah, um... (CLEARS THROAT)

Ranjit called in a favor with a friend.

And I thought you told him
you didn't wanna do anything illegal.

Well, no cash was exchanged.

And you believe that?

Look, Ranjit made all of
this possible, and I trust him.

You'd like him. He's a good guy.

Well, maybe I should meet Ranjit.

Sure.

In the meantime...

At least three drinks.

- Oh, yeah.
- DENNIS: Minimum.

Which is why you're about to get lucky.

Don't you think we
should christen the place?

Mm, well, I mean, if... if you insist.

Yeah, but why is the
guy always the lucky one?

(SCOFFS) I think you know why.

Mm.

Hey! Thanks for meeting me here.

Of course. What's up?

Okay.

What do you think about this
becoming the Women's Center?

It's for lease.

And it has offices and meeting rooms.

All we need to build
are the housing units.

And not having to break
ground on the empty lot

would cut our costs
in half, which means...

less money to get the city
council to approve for the project.

And we could open sooner.

I think it's a great idea.

Yeah?

And getting community support...

- Yes.
- ... will go a long way with the council.

Yes. I'm on it!

Okay, let me show you around.

Sell Bulk Beauty?

How can you do this to us?

You abandoned us for Evan!

Again!

You need to save us!

This is your fault!

What about our shares?

They'll be worth nothing!

There has to be another way!

So I woke up this morning and I thought,

duh, everyone who works at Speckulate

has stock options. And they
can exercise them at any time.

If they do that now,
and they give it to you,

you'll still have %.

And there's nothing that
the board can do to oust you.

So you're going to
convince a hundred employees

to exercise their stock options early

- to support me?
- No.

You're going to convince them.

Me?

I'm their boss. I don't
think they like me.

(SCOFFS) They do.

They like how much you've
changed over the last two years,

how you've made
yourself more accessible.

Like when you moved your office
to where the blue team used to be.

The fishbowl?

Yes.

And how much you've improved
the culture at Speckulate.

You've hired more women
and people of color.

You've given employees
paid personal days.

Paid personal days?

Wh... What is wrong with me?

MARIANA: If this works,

all you'll need is ,
instead of million.

And you won't need to sell
all of your investments.

Like Bulk Beauty?

Well... yes.

I'm not sure how I would
make a persuasive argument.

MARIANA: I'll help you.

Trust me, please.

Why do I feel as if
I can't say no to you?

Because I always want
you to have what you want.

Because you know it's a good idea.

♪ ♪

My father was imprisoned
when I was a few years old,

and my mother struggled
as the only provider.

If she had had a center like this,

our lives would've been
profoundly improved.

And with your support,

the housing units we'll
build here will allow us

to offer long-term housing
for some of these women

to give them the time they need

to get needed services, secure jobs,

and to become independent.

Any questions?

We don't want your center here.

Why?

Not everyone wants a shelter
in their neighborhood.

Those folks demand more police patrols,

which means more
harassment of the unhoused

Can I get everyone's attention, please?

All right, look,

He started this company.

But the truth is,

we don't know if Evan

Due to injuries
sustained in his accident,

he has lost a significant and

We can't trust that
his judgment is sound

and in the best interest of the company

- or its employees.
- No, no.

He... He's not telling you the truth.

Yes, Evan has suffered some memory loss.

But he's still the
founder of this company

and the man with the
vision for its future.

And since when has
the board of directors

ever given a sh*t about the workers?

All they wanna do is get rich
off the backs of all of you.

That's why they're trying to
steal this company from Evan.

While he is recovering
from a terrible trauma,

a trauma that he sustained because...

because he was trying to help me.

I had gotten myself
in a dangerous position

trying to help someone else.

And because I didn't show up for work,

Evan came looking for me

Well done. Congrats, well done!

Have a seat for me.
Let's see our next couple.

Luca, come on up.

And your opponent will be... Riley.

(CROWD CHEERS)

What's going on with you?

Did you see Riley?

Uh... Uh...

Yeah, I... I just saw her leave.

She came back looking for this.

I'll give it to her tomorrow.

Nothing. Let's just do this.

All right, your prompt is...

"You are attracted to someone you hate."

Riley, you're up first.

Three, two, one.

- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
- (DOOR OPENS)

- WOMAN: Uh, come in.
- Thank you.

So where are we at? Did
we get the votes?

.

You did it!

That is very good news.

Thank you.

Wow. Over a hundred of your employees

just saved your company
because they believe in you.

I thought you'd look a little happier.

I am happy.

But I learned something
else disturbing today.

I was speaking with my accountant.

She told me that I invested

a million dollars in Bulk Beauty

after your partners,

former employees, sued me.

Why would they do that?

It... It's complicated.

- I... I can explain...
- Were you a part of it?

- No!
- It's your company. Why not?

Mariana,

why did I go to that
farm looking for you?

The real reason.

You went to the farm...

because we used to be in a relationship.

A relationship?

A romantic relationship.

And we aren't or weren't anymore?

No.

Uh, what happened?

Uh, it just

didn't work out.

I see.

Why didn't you tell me this?

The doctor said not to...

(LOUDLY) I don't care
what the doctor said!

I can't have people keeping things
that I don't remember from me!

It is hard enough being in the dark.

I don't... I don't even
remember why I got sh*t!

How?

There are so... so many blanks!

And I... I just...

- I need to be able to trust you!
- And you can.

I... I promise I've only ever
acted in your best interest.

How do I know that?

How do I really know anything when.

I can't remember?

I can't...

- I... I can explain.
- EVAN: No, no.

I... I can't. (BREATHING HEAVILY)

I can't. Not now. Just... I'm tired.

Just please go.

Just... (PANTING)

Just go!
