Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Good Girls"...

That's your homie, right?

He's talking to the Feds now.

So, I'm gonna need you
to handle that.

All right.
Let me see it.

Am I the only one
who doesn't wanna do this?

No.

He's a r*pist.

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

Hang on.

Don't let him talk.
Just do it.

You are not going to give
that deposition.

Because she's gonna k*ll you.

How much?

Come on, everyone's
got a number.

But you gotta disappear
for good.

Well, that's twice now.

They got to me.

There were, like,
three or four of them.

I mean...
It won't happen again.

If I have to take you to
the courthouse myself, I will.

I am just so tired.

I can't k*ll somebody.

I'm gonna teach you.

I booked a hotel room.

For the alibi or whatever.

Girls' night.

We'll just put her
in the bathtub.

Yeah.

With a fat glass of wine,
she loves that.

I got Tylenol PM for after.

Just in case she can't...
That's good.

She's gonna be fine.

We're all gonna be fine.

Here we go.

That's not him.

You said he takes
the trash out...

He does! He always does.

Hang on, hang on.
Oh, my God.

- Call her.
- Okay, I'm calling her.

I'm calling her.
I'm calling her.

She's not answering.
It must be on silent.

No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.

Tyler!

Annie?

- Hey, Annie.
- Hey yo.

Hi.
What... what are you doing?

You don't close ever.

Oh, well, now that I'm
the acting manager, I do.

What about Boomer?

Oh, he never showed up
for his shift the other day,

so I sort of stepped in.

Hey, did you change your hair?

The Feds got him tucked away.

What does that mean?

Probably protective custody
or whatnot.

Someone got a whiff
of something.

How do you even know that?

Home court advantage.

What's up, bud?

I wanna go on the monkey bars.

You wanna go on the monkey bars?

It looks like someone's
on it though.

But I wanna...

No, I know what
you wanna do, okay?

But when that kid's done,
you'll get your turn.

Okay?
All right, come on.

We all gotta tough it out
sometimes.

Have fun.

Playground don't get easier,
right?

Might as well learn now.

So, you'll take it
from here then?

Excuse me?

I mean, if he's in custody

and we can't get to him,
it's over.

No.
It's over when you finish it.

How?

Be a boss bitch.

How?

I don't know.
Root him out.

He on Facebook?

That's way too many
bathroom selfies.

You know Diandra?

Diandra.
No.

You know, Diandra-Diandra.

She gave me the fireworks
on my nails for the Fourth,

turkeys for Thanksgiving.

Yep, yep, yep.

Her crazy ass boyfriend is gone.

What do you mean "gone?"

Just up and disappeared
a few days ago.

He ran out on her?

I mean, she doesn't know.

Just ghosted, huh?

Poor girl is losing her mind
trying to find him.

Ah, well, tell her to call me.

Nah, she's too embarrassed.

She's gonna need to file
a missing person's.

So, what kinda stuff
would y'all do to root him out?

Um...

Track the cell, try family.

You know, he's been talking to
somebody,

you just gotta knock on
the right doors.

Yeah, right.

I need the internet
for my report.

Okay, I'm gonna need you
to check all of that.

Please?

What's it on?

Where our garbage goes.

Ew.
All right. I'll get off.

Suspect.

No way.

Get out of town.

You go here?

I get my hair done every Friday.

You're kidding me.

That is so crazy.

- What a small world.
- Yeah.

It really is.

While I have you, um,

is everything okay with Leslie?

Oh, why wouldn't it be?

Well, he just hasn't
showed up for work

in a few days, so you know.

He hasn't mentioned being sick.

Oh, good, but you have
talked to him then?

Every single night before bed.

You tell me any grandson
who would do that.

There are not too many.

Yeah, the rest of the bunch,
I could take or leave.

But Leslie's a true gentleman.

Hmm.
He is definitely something.

It's rare to find a boy
his age so thoughtful.

Yeah. You don't know
where he is, do ya?

Well, probably with his fiancée.

He is so sweet with her.

They're all related?

I'm out.

Hi, Beetle.

Where are you?

Mmm.
I can't say.

Why not?

Well, I'm kind of on
a special assignment.

What the hell, Leslie?

Look, this is very
high level stuff, okay?

And I might've just
jeopardized your life

by telling you that much.

Well, you didn't even
leave a note.

Well, I didn't think you'd care.

Yeah, well, I do,
and the kids are worried, so...

I'm sorry.

You can't just come and go
out of their lives

like that, you know?

I mean, they don't get it,
so they miss you.

Seriously?

Yeah, Benji wanted you
to read him

his bedtime story last night.

Ah, well...

You tell that little turd
we'll FaceTime.

Okay?

It's not just him though.
I mean, I...

What do you mean?

I mean, I guess I miss you, too.

So...

Oh, my God.
Mary Pat, just shut up.

I miss you.

A lot.

Tell you what,
grab a pen and paper.

Okay.

All right.
Mm-hmm.

I understand.
I promise.

Yeah, I will.

Okay.
I'll see you soon.

He's at the Simple Stay
over on Grand River.

- Ew.
- Oy.

Gross.

Thank you.

What are you gonna do?

I mean, when you find him.

We're gonna make sure
he can't ever bully us again.

You know what?

I think you should k*ll him.

Someone's been smoked here
before for sure.

Hold up.

Okay, we've got ten minutes
till he's back.

All right.

What are you doing?

- I'm gonna do it.
- Give me the g*n.

- It should be me.
- Why?

Well, you've taken a couple
swings now,

champ, and you did great.

But it's time to bring in
the A-Team.

Just give me the g*n.

Will you jump in here, please?

I got brothers, I don't...

What if there's a witness?

Come on.

Anyone... a maid.

There has never been
a maid here.

I can't have this on you.

Hey, I have done
a few things. Okay?

I'm the one who got us here,
I did this.

Hey, he did this.

Son of a bitch tried to r*pe me.

You keep your head down.

Okay.
Knock and sh**t.

And don't forget to drop
the g*n...

I got it.

I got it.

It doesn't matter.

It's on all of us.

Where are you going?

Will you stop?
The boys are sleeping.

We booked the reception hall.

I think you should go.

We made the guest list.

We spoke to the pastor.
You picked the cake.

Oh my God, you are so drunk.

Nana is so pumped.

She has been waiting
her whole life for this.

Lower your voice.

We are getting married.

No, we're not.

Why would you say that?

I don't love you.

Why would you say that?

You're a terrible person.

- Well don't say that.
- You are.

I hate you.

- I do.
- Stop it.

God, I hate you.
I hate you so much.

I said shut up.

When you say things like that,
see, that's what gets me mad.

Okay?

I want you to leave.

I'm gonna make you so happy.

Where is this guy?

Probably at a strip club.

What if he brings one back?

Please.

They're professionals,
they're not just gonna

go home with anybody.

'Cause there's
a code of conduct?

Something bit me.

This place is nasty.

What do you think a room
like this goes for?

29.99.

Come on, Beth.
No way.

It's disgusting.

Yeah, but you got, like,
you know, Greektown,

and the Renaissance Center,
and...

Comerica Park, Ford Field.

It's no more than 40.

Look it up.

You look it up.

You look it up,
I'm holding a g*n.

Like we need to know.

It's 150.

Mommy, I called
but you didn't come.

Hi... shh.
Come here.

It's okay.
I'm sorry.

What's up?

I'm hungry.

You are?
Okay.

Do you wanna go get
some pancakes?

Do you know where Mommy
keeps her purse?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

So, you're gonna go get
my keys, okay?

And I'm gonna get
your brothers, all right?

But here's the thing, we need
to be super, super quiet.

Okay?

What about him?

You know what?

I think we should just let him
sleep a little bit.

Okay?
Okay.

Okay, but you gotta be quiet.

It was an accident.

We gotta call the cops.

Uh, she's gotta call the cops.

We gotta go.

Just tell them it was
an accident.

It was.

Yeah, I mean he... he ran
behind the car.

He was kinda asking for it.

Yeah.

I mean, except, um...

Well, then I moved the body.

Okay.

I mean, I didn't want
the kids to see it, so...

I mean, nobody's gonna
argue with that.

Right?
Mmmmm.

Where did you, um, put it?

I didn't want it to smell...

Okay.

I mean, it's supposed to be
so hot today, so...

- A real scorcher.
- Yeah.

And Jeff used to hunt,
so we have, um,

we have a meat freezer.

Well, that still makes sense.

Yeah, except he just got
so bloated.

I think that's because,
you know,

all the gases that
get trapped inside?

So, then he... then he
wouldn't fit.

What do you mean?

I mean there was just like,

like, too much of him to...

You know, at first.

Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

You know those, um,
those electric knives

like you use at like,
at Thanksgiving?

Mommy?
We're hungry.

Okay, who wants waffles?

That's a meat locker, huh?

Dude, we should just leave.

Don't hold much meat.

What are you talking about?

We should go, and the cops
will do their job.

And she'll take the fall,
and we'll be totally clean.

What are you even talking about?

She m*rder*d him, Beth.

We were about to do
the same thing.

Yeah, but we didn't,
and we sure as hell

weren't gonna chop him up.

Small game maybe.
Like, real small.

Listen, we were the first
call she made.

If she's going down,
we are going down.

Like a pheasant.

Do you understand that
she is like

a literal mental patient, right?

We made her call him.

Or a grouse.

Okay, so, what are we
supposed to do with this then?

Anyone?

I don't know.

We get rid of it.

Where?

Well, we wait until it's dark
and then...

And then we'll figure it out.

Be easier to carry
if he's all thawed out.

Oh, my God.
I am so sorry.

It's just been kind
of a mess of a day.

What did I miss?

They caught Kenny
in the teachers' lounge.

Okay.

Not the biggest crime
in the world, so...

He... he ate somebody's
retirement cake.

So, we're here because
Kenny had a slice of cake?

He ate more than a slice.

He ate the entire cake.

Well, how many people
was it for?

Everyone who works here.

Mm-hmm.

Look, in my experience,
behavior like this

is often a cry for help.

Is there anything unusual
going on at home?

We need to be more present,

put the phone down
once in a while.

It's not about the phone.

I heard a thing on NPR
that said phone...

Maybe it has something
to do with the fact that

some psycho g*ng banger
sh*t his dad,

and now his shady ass mom's
running around

doing God knows what.

I mean, where... where were you
last night?

Book club.

Book club.
All night long?

Can we be at a point now

where we just know what
"book club" means?

You're about to put bleach
in with the colors.

You wanna do laundry?

We will find someone who deals
with this kinda thing.

We can't afford a shrink.

Okay, fine.

No phones at dinner.

The landfills import enough
solid waste each year

to fill over one million
garbage trucks.

- Hey.
- If you lined those trucks up,

they'd stretch from
New York City

to San Francisco and back again.

You okay?

- Long day.
- All right.

Well, look alive
or lose a finger.

Dirty diapers,
plastic bottles, plastic bags,

coffee cups, rubber-soled shoes,

dead animals...

What is she doing in there?

Her working on her report
about landfills.

It'd take two hours just to walk

from one side of it
to the other.

That's almost thirty
square miles of trash.

All dumped right here
in Eastern Michigan.

At this rate...

What?

Where'd you say this trash was?

Hey.

You're kidding me, right?

How was work?

Sadie's in the car.

What do you want?

Is there any way you could
take her for the night?

So you can bone some other
pregnant lady's husband?

I have to take
a little road trip.

Now?

Yeah, well, a friend
suddenly passed away, so...

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You'd be doing it for her,
not me.

I love her.

I know.

I don't love you.

I know.

Hey, Sades.

Sleepover.

Can we turn something on?

With our thinly-shaved
beef carpaccio.

Then zesty ragu made from
from our fresh ground chop

butchered in house.

Oh

- Jesus.
- Okay.

Try and lift with your legs.

- You can do it.
- Okay.

- No.
- I don't wanna ask.

So don't.
We need help.

We need those strong sauce arms.

I would if I could,
but I am telling you I can't.

I can't.
Ruby, look here.

Look here.
What is tomorrow?

Trash day.

So, when do we have to do this?

Mother...

Forgive me my sins, O Lord.

Forgive me the sins of my youth
and the sins of my age.

It's okay. It's okay.

We're almost there.

Forgive me the sins of my body

and the sins of my soul.

Forgive me the sins

that I have done
to please myself

and to please others.

Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Let me get my arm under there.

- Got it.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, sweet Lord.

What's Harry doing in school?

He's, uh, dinosaurs.

Oh.
What's his favorite?

I'm gonna pass out.

Hey, hey, come on.
Give me a dinosaur.

Come on.
I don't know.

What about a Triceratops?
With...

- Oh, uh, no.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- Pterodactyl?
- T... T-rex.

T-rex, T-rex.
Danny likes that one, too.

Kenny, too, right?
He likes...

Yeah.

What is it with boys and T-rex?

Yeah, they're K*llers.

Oh, my God.

I didn't mean... I didn't
mean...

I didn't mean that... Oh, God.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

We're gonna have to swing it in.

- Okay.
- Come this way.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Come on.

Okay.
Let's do it on three.

Wait, on three or like,
one, two, three, toss?

On three.

So, one, two, three, swing?

No, see, that's what
I'm saying, that's on four.

Is it on four or is it...

One, two, swing.

So, one three.
Final answer.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Together: One...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Together: Two... three.

Okay, let's just go.

Did you check his pockets?

How would I have checked
his pockets?

It's fine, right?

Let's just go, please.

We can't just leave it.

- But...
- They'll track it to the body.

Mother...

Hey, will you stop it?

Boys, will you cut it out?
Hey.

Will you... you know,
someone's going to arrest you

if you keep doing that.

You're not supposed to be...
Boys, boys.

Or I cold rustle up
a public disobedience charge

if that'll help.

Hi, sorry, I don't...

I didn't wanna bother you,
I just didn't... I didn't...

Boys, will you sit down, okay?

Go sit down.

I just I didn't... I didn't know

who else I could talk to, so...

What's going on?

I'm... I'm worried about Leslie.

Why's that?

I think something bad happened.

Let's talk in my office.

Okay, boys, follow the nice man

into his office, okay?

And don't touch anything
while you're in there.

Take... yes.
Take the... thank you.

Well, this should keep 'em
busy for a while.

Let's just get it over with.

Who keeps calling this dude?

It's Marion.

She's called him, like,
seven times.

Don't.
Annie.

Don't.

What time you coming
tonight, honey?

I need to know when
to put the roast in the oven.

Oh, you're really gonna
tease me.

I mean, guess what I forgot
to pick up?

The roast.

Don't worry about dinner,

you're probably out
having a good time.

I hope you're wearing

some of that nice cologne
we bought.

Stop.

Well, I'm turning in.

I'm sure I'll hear
from you tomorrow.

You be a good boy.

If you would just give me
a quick ring when you get in,

even if it's late.

It's the funniest thing,
I just can't get to sleep.

I had bills.

It's kinda early...

Come on, Sadie.

Um... I cheated on
an English test.

W... how do you even do that?

We had to write original poems,

and I couldn't come up
with anything good,

so I just used Miley Cyrus.

What song?

"Wrecking Ball."

That's a great song.

Am I in trouble now?

I mean, yeah, maybe.

But you asked.

the deposition again.

See, you worry too much.

- Nope.
- Client-attorney privilege.

- All good.
- Are you being careful?

Always.

Did you go for a run?

If by "run" you mean

a sad old man shuffle, then yes.

Good for you.

Yeah, PT's starting to pay off.

I found a therapist.

I thought you said
we couldn't afford one.

He's a grad student
at Wayne State.

They need the hours,
so he's cheap.

Nice, how soon can he start?

I think this week.

I just want Kenny
to feel safe again, you know?

Me too.

Hey what do you
think about Krav Maga?

Huh?

It's this badass Israeli
like, fighting style.

My PT guy says it'll make him
feel more in control.

Yeah, sure.

Cool.

You okay?

Yeah, I've just had... had
too much coffee.

Slow down, tiger.

I am going to go do abs.
