[flight attendant] Stay down, please.
Sir, down.
- Brace! Brace! - [airplane engine whirring]
[flight attendant] Stay down.
[flight attendant 2] Sit down. Stay down! Stay down!
[flight attendant] Stay down!
Brace! Brace!
Stop. Stay down.
Everyone down!
Brace.
B-Brace!
- [child 1 pants] - Come on. Pick up the pace.
- What are you doing? [pants] - I'm trying to.
[chuckles]
See ya, sucker.
- Hey! Hey, Eddie. - [pants]
[child 2 pants]
- See you, loser. - Oh, my-- Hey! Walk your bike.
[exhales sharply]
[grunts, laughs]
[grunts] See that?
- [Eddie] I can't believe you beat me. - It's okay. You'll catch up one day.
- [Eddie] I will? - [child 2] Probably not.
Hello, boys.
- [child 2] Hey, Faakhir. - Two falafel, extra tahina?
- Yeah, one with no radish the other with-- - The other, no onions.
And two black cherry sodas.
Out of black cherry.
- What? - Uh, black cherry on Wednesday.
- Wednesday's too late. - It's okay.
- Two root beers. - Jordan. Jordan. J-Jordan.
This is literally our last falafel before we leave New York forever.
And he's out of black cherry. It's not the same.
Eddie, it's cool.
You think LA has decent falafels?
If they do, I'm sure we'll find them, okay?
Hey, there's something I need to talk to you about.
What?
Here you go, boys.
Two root beer.
And two of the best falafel in New York.
- [Jordan] Thanks, Faakhir. - [chuckles]
- Thank you, Faakhir. - Thank you. See you boys soon.
[Eddie] Bye, Faakhir.
Hey, uh, what were you about to say?
[Jordan] Nothing. Let's eat.
Don't forget to call ahead to the hotel. Make sure they have my room ready.
- Last time they screwed up. - I will.
- And tell Stuart that-- - That he's running the meeting?
Just tell him to start the meeting, and I'll call into it.
- Yeah. - [stammers] Is the flight delayed?
Uh, there's weather in the southwest,
but they don't think it should delay takeoff.
Just what I need, a bumpy flight.
Okay.
[congressperson] Tell Cora not to forget about the call.
Yeah.
- [congressperson] Will you text me my-- - Your boarding pass. You should have it.
- Oh, okay. - All right.
- I-- I'll be back on Thursday. - [aide] I know.
Another LA fundraising trip. [chuckles]
- Hey, listen, um, about the other night. - Uh-huh.
- I really appreciate everything you said. - Yea-- Uh-huh.
And so honored, really.
But, um, I've just been thinking about it a little bit…
- Uh-huh. - …and, um, I'm giving my notice.
What?
- Well, there's nothing you can say. - Come on.
- Wait, but-- - Come on.
[person crying] Amanda, please.
[parent 1] Boys! Would you please come back here and help with the luggage?
- Geez, all right. - [Eddie] Right, sorry.
[parent 1] Thank you for participating. We've raised animals.
- Did you bring the Switch? - Yes.
- [Jordan] And the charger? - [parent 2] Of course.
You have everything?
- Do you have his, uh, workbooks? - Yeah, they're in their backpacks.
We are actually doing this.
It'll be great.
- [parent 2] I'm dying for a coffee. Yeah. - [parent 1] Coffee?
[parent 1] You guys hungry?
- [Jordan] Eddie? - [parent 2] What do you wanna get?
[Jordan] Hey, why'd you get the little bag?
- H-hey, hi. Do you mind? - No, of course.
[breathing heavily]
Hey, sorry, can you take this?
- Thank you. [grunts] - Okay.
[grunts]
- Hi. Oh. - Hi. [chuckles, groans]
- My beautiful birthday baby. - [chuckles] Yeah.
What are you wearing?
Oh-- I-- You know, I have a lot of schoolwork.
- It's-- I was working. - Mmm. Okay. You're delicious.
- You're a twig. Did you lose more weight? - [scoffs]
- I don't know, Mom. I don't know. - Stop doing that.
- [sighs, gasps] Thank you, Christopher. - Hi.
- [Christopher] Sure. - Here's the birthday girl.
Well, one of the birthday girls because we share.
Yeah. Which has caused a lot of trauma.
- [laughs] She's so funny. - [Christopher chuckles]
We've been coming here since Zoe was five years old,
every year for our birthday.
And Christopher is up-and-coming in the theater…
- [Christopher chuckles] - …working in-- Mmm--
- Set design. Yes. - Mom, can you let him work?
- Is she glomming? She gloms. - [Christopher] No, no. No, not at all.
May I get you something to get started with?
Oh, yes. We always start with the osetra caviar, please,
- and the foie gras. Sorry, ducks. [laughs] - [Zoe, Christopher chuckle]
[Mom] I'm salivating. Are you salivating?
- And a bottle of Cristal, please. - Yes, and a bottle of Cristal.
We've been sneaking it since she was 18, and they don't mind here.
- I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that. - [Mom] Oh, no you didn't.
- I'll get that right out to you ladies. - [chuckles] Thank you.
- [sighs] He's so cute. - [chuckles]
- Oh, my God, I love him. - Mom.
- You could date him. - Are you-- Okay.
I mean, I don't know. Do you think he's gay?
He works in the theater.
Or you're gay, I don't know.
I'm sorry, that's rude.
You can be gay, straight, whatever. Honey, I don't care,
- you be whoever you want-- - Okay, can we…
- Yes, let's change the subject. Hi. - Yeah.
- Hi. [chuckles] - Hi.
Happy birthday.
Can't believe Dad isn't here.
[smacks lips] I know. He's devastated.
He can't believe he's missing it this year either.
You know what he did though? The cutest thing.
He called Luis at Valentino and made us an appointment on the 3rd for…
- Oh, my God. - …shopping spree.
[Zoe] Yeah. [chuckles]
- Birthday. - Wait, no. No, I-I can't.
I-I have a paper due tomorrow, Mom. I can't go.
- No. Oh, come on. - No.
- This is our day. - [sighs]
- It's really crazy. - I sent an itinerary.
- I know. - Do you read my texts?
It's hard to keep up with your texts, Mom. You're very verbose.
Well, you're not very good at responding,
- so I never know if you've read it-- - [sighs] Hi.
- [gasps] Oh, there it is. - That's the one.
Actually, will you do us a favor?
- Sure. - Would you take a quick pic of us?
- No. Um, no. - Yes.
- I'm a mess. Mom, can we not? - You're not a mess.
- Don't be a mess. - I don't wanna take a picture.
Your father will literally kill me if I don't document.
Well, I-- I-- Okay.
Okay, thank you so much. That should be all set.
- To Christopher. - Sorry. [chuckles]
Look at this gorgeous creature.
- No. That's not happening right now. - All right.
- Ready? - Just a little--
- Can you not touch my hair? - It's just some--
- Rebellious strands. - Can you get off my fucking--
Please don't touch my hair.
- A few rebellious strands. - Get the fuck off my hair.
Oh, my God. [chuckles]
- Okay, I think I got it. - [Mom laughs]
Oh, good. Thank you.
- It's horrifying. - [laughs]
Thank you, Christopher. I love it.
[TSA agent] All right, you're good. Come on.
Keep moving. Come on. Hands up.
- You got your computer, honey? - [parent 2] Yeah, it's right here.
[TSA agent] You're good to go.
[parent 1] Eddie, do you have your boarding pass?
- [parent 2] I have his boarding pass. - [TSA agent 2] Shoes off.
- Laptops out. - [parent 2] I have yours.
If we keep going I'm gonna miss my flight.
- Mmm, I'm okay with that. - [chuckles]
I don't wanna leave you.
Mmm, I know. But you have to.
I'm gonna be there so soon.
[chuckles]
- I love you. [chuckles] - Love you too, mama.
[announcer] Good afternoon. Trinity Airways flight 1483
bound for Los Angeles will be boarding shortly.
Trinity Airways flight 1483 bound for Los Angeles…
What if we hate it in California?
Honey, you know your dad and I would never make this decision
if we didn't think you were gonna love it in LA.
- Right? - Absolutely.
And we're only renting our New York apartment for one year.
If it doesn't work out, we can always come home.
But that's not the plan.
Right, not the plan. Not the plan.
We'll love LA. We will. Go Dodgers.
This is our gate.
Hey.
It's gonna be great, I promise.
Yeah.
[sighs] Okay.
Come on, sweetie.
[breathing heavily]
- [person 1] Sweetie, you okay? - [person 2] Okay.
- Mm-hmm, yeah. - Good.
[moans]
[laughs]
Hey, I think that one took.
I think we might be back in the game.
[person 1] I've gotta get back on the decaf.
You know, you say that every day.
- [sighs] - I'm gonna be home early tonight.
Before you leave for your shift.
- Cool. - Mm-hmm.
It's the big day, right? Did they get to the airport?
[inhales deeply]
- I-- I haven't heard. [sighs] - Really?
Man, I can't believe they're really doing it.
Yeah, I know.
Crazy.
Oh, babe.
God! Honey, this doorknob is literally killing me.
Oh, yeah.
- I was meaning to take a look at that. - It's a safety hazard.
Well, it's not. But, uh, yeah, I'll tighten it up.
- Hey, listen, can we just, uh-- - Thank you. Yeah?
Oh, morning, Shay.
Hi, Ms. Curtis.
Strange girl.
Yeah, I was thinking about, uh, what Dr. Berkowitz was saying the other day--
Berkowitz is an asshole.
- Well, okay. - Really, the hell with him. The audacity.
Yeah, I think maybe he's just trying to…
- Fuck fucking Berkowitz. - …you know, open-- I mean--
I mean, you're--
You're great, I'm great, we're great, you know? Okay?
I love you. I gotta go.
- I love you too. - Bye, Shay.
- [Shay] Bye. - Love to your mom. Whoo!
- [Shay yells] I'm good. - [person 2] Good catch.
[car engine starts]
[person 1] Nice.
[announcer speaks indistinctly]
Thank you.
Mom, this is first class. What are you doing?
Don't worry, it's okay.
- They're with me. - Okay.
Guys, I have something to tell you. We're not gonna get to fly together.
[Jordan] What do you mean?
Uh, you know how the studio flew me out? So, I'm in first class.
You're in first class? You're just the writer.
- All the way down. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Hi. - Hi, good morning. Welcome aboard.
- Okay, straight down on your left. - Thank you.
Anyway, I was gonna try and change my seat, so I could fly with you guys,
but I was so distracted last week by the move.
So I'm just gonna sit up here and get the script finished.
- Will you bring us dessert? - Of course I will.
I'm gonna miss you guys.
Okay, Mom, we're gonna be, like, 50 feet away.
[Eddie] Enjoy your flight.
[parent 2] No hug? Nothing.
Okay.
- I told you they wouldn't be upset. - Yeah, no big deal.
We're just moving across the continent together for your job.
And I see no symbolism in the fact that you're sitting in a different class.
- Bruce. - I'm kidding.
Is that a lie-back seat? It's very nice.
- Mmm. I hate you. - I hate you too.
[flight attendant] Good morning. Welcome aboard. Hi, good morning.
- Can you get my bag? - [Jordan] Hey, Eddie.
- What? - What are you doing? Window seat's mine.
No, when we went to Costa Rica, we said next time we flew, I'd get the window.
Yeah, that was like two years ago.
- So what? - So, the window seat has my name on it.
You can have it when we fly back to New York, okay?
- What if we never fly back to New York? - [sighing]
Whatever. Stand up. Rock, paper, scissors.
- Fine. - Best two out of three.
Sure.
[both] Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
[Jordan sighs]
[both] Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
- Paper covers rock. - You suck.
- Yeah, these seats are way better. - [passenger 1] Till next Thursday?
Can I-- May I borrow $30 till next Thursday?
[Bruce] Yeah, yep.
- Let me help you. [grunts] - [grunts]
- Right. - [grunts]
[groans]
- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
[whispering] …till next Thursday?
May I borrow $30 till next Thursday?
[person 3] That is terrible.
Your acting has gotten very bad. Who are you trying to play, Akua?
- I'm trying to sound like a heroin addict. - Hey, hey, hey, listen, listen,
if you are playing a drug addict, please use your American accent.
- Don't put that on us. - Mm-mmm.
The part calls for a Ghanaian actress.
That's the whole reason they're flying me out to audition for Spike Jonze.
Eh, chale, Spike Jonze? That's big time… [speaks Akan]
See, Kojo? Even Albert gets it.
Why are you begging to act in American movies?
Chale, come home and work for me.
[smacks lips] Renting out porta-potties?
Ugh. [chuckles]
[both speak Akan, laugh]
Business is booming, though. Albert, tell her.
- Me say, everyone wants… - [both] Porta-potties yesterday.
You see that?
Sister, come home.
- Be part of the family empire. - [smacks lips]
Kojo, this is my dream. You have to start somewhere.
[Kojo] But you can act here.
You can even become the next-- What's that beautiful woman?
- A-- Uh-- Jackie Appiah. - Jackie--
Jackie Appiah. Uh-huh.
Mommy, can I watch a show?
No more screen time, boo-boo.
[sighs] I have to go. You're not helping me anyway.
Wait a second, is that my Becks?
Hello, my darling.
Listen, tell your mother to bring you home to Ghana, okay?
Say, "Hello, Uncle Kojo."
Hi, Uncle Kojo.
Hello, my niece.
[Akua] Okay, gotta go. Love you.
[flight attendant 3] Please take your seat.
Fasten your seat belt, please.
Okay.
- [passenger 2] Excuse me, ma'am? - [smacks lips] Yeah, everything okay?
- Could I get a beer when you get a chance? - I can bring it right after we take off?
- Great. Appreciate it. - Course.
[Bruce] I got something for ya. [grunts]
Here you go, boys.
What?
You're seriously gonna make us do school work on the plane?
It's a weekday.
And luckily, you have your teacher right here on the plane with you.
That's depraved, Dad.
- You are actually a monster. - It'll help pass the time.
[Jordan grunts]
- Oh, gosh, sorry. - Sorry.
- Uh, this is me. Thank you. - [Akua] Sure.
[ground control] Okay, this is Trinity 1483.
We are clear for takeoff. JFK 22-Left.
Takeoff check. Flaps are at two and two.
Remote control panel is set. 220 heading. 4,000 feet.
Auto-throttle is armed.
We're clear for takeoff.
All right, I'm done. [sighs] Can I go to the next one?
Just hold on. Your brother's not quite finished yet.
Okay.
- [Bruce] Take another look, hmm? - [Jordan sighs]
[Bruce] See if you can figure out where you went wrong.
- [sighs] - You got it 90% correct.
Ninety's good. It's like an A-minus.
- Oh, shut up. - Eddie, please.
You know this. We were working on this all yesterday.
- Don't push him. - He knows this.
- You forgot to isolate the X-- - Oh, would you shut the fuck up, Eddie?
- Okay. - [parent 2] Excuse me?
- Calm down. - I was trying to help.
I asked you not to talk like that.
Oh, of course it's my fault. It's never Eddie's.
- That's not what I was saying. - It is.
- [Eddie] I helped you. - Thanks for the help.
Honey, your brother was only trying to help.
He's three years younger than me, Mom. He shouldn't be helping me.
- I understand-- [stammers] - And he's smarter than me, I get it.
[inhales sharply]
We take piano lessons.
I can barely get through a bar of music, he ends up playing Carnegie Hall.
Once. It was a student recital.
[scoffs]
[inhales shakily]
I lay there every night and listen to him practice his stupid piano.
[inhales sharply]
He never makes a mistake.
Not one slipup, ever.
Jordan.
When we get to Los Angeles, I don't wanna be homeschooled anymore.
- Honey, you-- - I'm enrolling in public school.
[stammers] Why are we even homeschooled, anyways?
You guys are so overprotective.
- It worked better for our family. - [sighs] You mean, for Eddie.
- Your brother needs more support. - [sighs]
He got bullied in second grade.
That was five years ago. He can handle himself now.
I need my own life, Mom. [inhales deeply]
[Akua] Thank you.
[flight attendant] Coming through.
- [Bruce] Is that a giant potato? - [Jordan chuckles] Yeah.
I just finished the ghost level.
- [Jordan] You didn't. There's no way. - Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did.
That was like a tutorial level. That doesn't count anyways.
- Mm-hmm. - Here you are, sir.
- [passenger 3] Thank you. - [passenger 4] Okay. [chuckles]
Ain't nothing but trouble.
- I already got enough problems. - You looked like you was having fun.
- I had a good time. - [flight attendant] Put your tray down.
What would you like, sir?
Uh, can I get a, uh, Jack and Coke, please.
[flight attendant] Tray table, please. Here you go.
Can I get you anything else?
- [Zoe] Mommy, look. - [Mom] Oh, my God!
- [chuckles] Right, I'm like-- [chuckles] - You are definitely getting that.
No, it's like a gajillion dollars. Where am I ever gonna wear it?
- On dates. - No, Mom, I don't date.
- Nobody dates. Don't say dates. - All right, then when you hook up.
- I don't know. - Ew! No, Mom.
All I know is your father is getting you that for your birthday.
- This is insane. Yeah. - I-- Isn't this crazy?
Look, all of this… [stammers] …this is vintage.
You know, this if from the 70s.
So beautiful. So beautiful.
- [clicks tongue] - Um, Mom, I've been wondering.
- Uh, is everything-- - Yeah?
Like, has everything been, um, okay?
What do you mean?
Like, between you and Dad?
Course.
Like, your relationship.
Honey, we have a wonderful relationship. You know that.
Okay, it just seems like he's been away a lot lately.
Well, that is true. He's been away on business.
You know, I mean, he is an excellent provider for our family.
- So-- - Yeah, I'm not saying he's not. I'm just--
Well, he's always worked very hard.
I know. I'm just a little worried about you.
[Mom clicks tongue]
Why?
Honey, I'm fine.
This was always the plan. Work hard.
And then the plan is when he retires, we get to do all the fun things.
- We get to go on the Alaska cruise… - Right.
…we get to go on the bike ride across Scandinavia, the river tour in Eur--
- All the things. - Yeah?
Don't worry about me. You know what you should worry about?
I need shoes.
Well, I don't really have time for shoes, Mom.
What do you mean? Mani-pedis aren't till 3:00.
Hey, Dee Dee, I think this would also look incredible on you.
- What do you think? Fantastic, right? - Oh, my God.
Look at this. I'm trying this on.
- I'm trying this on, then we'll get shoes. - [both chuckle]
- Luis, can you get me shoes? - Will do.
- You look amazing, by the way. - Thank you.
- You need to get that. - [chuckling]
I'm coming with the shoes, Dee Dee.
[Akua, softly] Wait, wait, wait.
Why are you looking at me like that? I have something to ask you
[chuckles] Sorry, I have an audition.
Oh. [chuckles] Good luck.
Most people don't drink gin because they say gin makes you sin.
I've never found that to be true, though.
- I'll be ready in 15 minutes. - [employee] Thanks, Cora,
[aide] Yep. Okay. Got it.
- Need to get this approved, ASAP. - Yep, on it.
Sorry, do you mind if I place you on a brief hold?
Congresswoman Washington's office.
No, this is Adriana.
Yep, I'm her aide.
Okay, noted.
Congresswoman Washington's office.
Sir-- Sir, I'm gonna need you to stop using that kind of--
Congresswoman Washington's office.
No, the Congresswoman cares about all constituents--
Congresswoman Washington's office.
I understand you are frustrated. Thank you for your call.
I'm so sorry. We will look into that immediately.
Congresswoman Washington's office.
Yes, we are well aware of that and we'll take care of it.
Angela, hi.
[pants] Hi, I'm Adriana from Congresswoman Washington's office.
[inhales deeply] It's nice to finally meet you in person. Sorry I'm late.
Well, at least you showed up.
Come on.
There's no heat, no gas.
Landlord's trying to get everybody out.
[smacks lips] I wish I could take him in, but I can't.
I got two kids I'm raising on my own, and I work full-time.
Yeah.
My brother has a mental illness. He needs support. He needs housing.
He's been on that waiting list for over a year. I just--
- Someone needs to help. - Yeah.
He's not gonna make it much longer.
Byron, it's your sister.
I'm coming in.
Hi, Byron.
Byron, can you hear me?
[Angela] Byron, take the damn headphones out,
you see the lady standing here.
[exhales deeply]
Byron, my name is Adriana,
and I work for Congresswoman Washington's office.
We're gonna get you help, okay?
We're gonna get you a place to live with social services.
Does that sound good?
Byron, can you look at me, so I know you can hear me?
Okay. It's gonna be okay.
[humming]
- [person 1] Hey, I'm on my way out. - Cool. Have a good shift.
Okay.
Oh. Listen, um, your sister might call later.
- So-- - What?
After the flight, she wants to catch up. She's worried, so…
What did you say?
Nothing. Maybe she should give you a call when she lands.
- Why? - Because she's your sister.
Who I have an intensely complicated relationship with,
- which you-- which you know. - I just--
Yeah. I just think maybe it could be really good to-- to talk to her.
To talk to people.
I already talked to her. It didn't help.
And I don't love that you two are conspiring against me.
It's not a conspiracy.
I just think that maybe, like,
this is too much for you to be holding inside of yourself like this.
So you pass me off to my sister while you go to your man cave?
- While I go to my job-- - So you don't have to deal with it.
Listen… [inhales deeply]
…she didn't call me. I called her.
I called her 'cause I'm really worried about you,
'cause I don't know how to help you right now,
which is, like, really terrifying for me, so I called--
Worried about what?
Doctor Berkowitz said maybe it's time
- to consider adoption. - Berkowitz is an asshole.
Yeah, he's our fertility doctor, and he's concerned about the number--
about the amount--
about the number of, um-- [sighs]
The miscarriages?
[scoffs] You can say the word.
What if we just met with the adoption agency?
Or, like, we just go explore our options, you know?
And I'm not saying give up. I just mean, like,
- simultaneously explore our options. - That's not our plan, John.
We've designed this room three times…
- That has never-- - …for three different children.
We've got three layers of paint on the wall.
And I'm fucking scared because I don't know what this is doing to you
or to your body, to… [stammers] …your soul, to us.
I think we can love a kid, doesn't matter whose DNA it has.
- It's good to know how you feel. - Oh, come on.
- Go to work, John. - Come on. Talk to me.
Go to work, John.
[exhales deeply]
Mmm. [breathes shakily]
[door closes]
[sniffles, crying]
Mommy got a big audition.
Yay!
Yeah, really exciting. It's for a really big movie.
The only thing is, it's in Los Angeles.
You're going to Los Angeles again? Can I come?
Oh, not this time. But you get to stay with Leeza and Odie.
[Becks] How long?
One night.
Just one sleep apart, and I'll be right here with you before you know it. Okay?
- Pinky swear? - [clicks tongue] Pinky swear.
Don't worry. Let's go.
Ladies and gentleman, uh, from the flight deck,
this is Captain again.
I'm gonna go ahead and turn on the seat belt sign,
as you can feel there's, uh, some turbulence in the area.
We're also looking at some rain showers up ahead.
We're gonna, uh, work with air traffic control.
Disappointed that he still hasn't opened an investigation.
I will tell him. [sighs]
And don't let him talk circles around you either.
- You know me better than that. [chuckles] - [laughs]
- [Rose] It's not a good time. - It's urgent. Please.
- One minute. - Okay.
Byron Williams.
He's a mentally-disabled suicide risk living in unsafe conditions.
I found a good situation for him, okay?
Subsidized housing with support services, but it's taking too long.
If you were to just make one call…
- You know the protocol in this office. - I know.
And I would never dream of taking advantage of our relationship.
Well, what are you doing right now?
I know that your time is incredibly precious,
and the work you do every day, it's essential.
[chuckles] I appreciate the suck up.
Your job is extremely difficult, but you are doing everything right.
Then why don't I feel like I'm doing anything right?
Sorry. It's just, I make endless calls every day,
and I feel like I'm getting nothing accomplished.
He's not gonna make it much longer.
One call.
Please.
Give me the number.
[sighs] Okay.
Thank you.
And get us a table at the Rooster tonight.
You need a drink, girl.
[Adriana] I know what you're gonna say. I should just toughen up. Deal with it.
I hate to break it to you, but you're a public servant if I ever saw one.
My sympathies.
- [person] Hi, Congresswoman. - Hi. How you doing?
- Grandma. - Don't call me that.
- We're not in the office. - This is still work. We need clear lines.
Madame Congresswoman.
Much better.
You're a goddamn icon.
I see people and when they look at you, they think… [inhales sharply]
…"That's who I wanna be. That's who I want my daughter to be."
I will never do what you've done.
[inhales sharply, clicks tongue] Okay.
I may have helped pave the way for women of color,
but without powerful young women like you to take it further,
we've accomplished nothing.
I know.
That's why I want you to run for my seat.
What?
[clicks tongue] When I'm done, that is. I'm not dead yet.
I-- N-- I can't.
You think I'm someone I'm not.
I see exactly who you are. You just haven't figured it out yet.
[inhales sharply] I figured one more term for me.
Then 2026.
[clicks tongue] Has a nice ring to it. Doesn't it?
I don't know what to say.
[Rose chuckles]
Now I'll be your Grandma.
When your boss offers you her job, take it, dumbass.
[airplane rattles]
[flight attendant] Ladies and gentlemen, as the captain said,
we are experiencing turbulence.
Please fasten your seat belts and take your seats immediately.
[Adriana] Yes, this is great news.
Yes, he definitely wants the placement. I will tell them right now.
Yeah, I will call you first thing in the morning.
Okay. Bye.
Hi, it's Adriana with Congresswoman Washington's office.
I have some really good news about your brother's placement. I would--
What?
Well, how did--
When did this happen?
I've just been thinking about it a little bit…
- Uh-huh. - …and, um, I'm giving my notice.
- What? - [Adriana] Angela…
- Come on. - …I'm so sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
[airport security] All right, you're good. Come on.
Shoes off.
Laptops out.
I don't wanna leave you.
I know.
You did everything you could for that young man.
I'm leaving, Grandma.
I'm leaving your office.
And I'm leaving politics.
And my last official act as your constituent aide
will be attending Byron Williams's funeral this afternoon.
He took his own life, Grandma.
I can't do it anymore.
Honey, I love you.
And I accept your resignation.
But baby, you have to stop telling yourself you can't.
- I'll see you soon. - See ya.
Excuse me.
- Oh, sorry. - That's okay.
[airplane engine whirring]
[captain] I'm looking at a pretty big storm up ahead.
Extends for about, uh, 40 miles.
Uh, we're gonna have to deviate right off course, about 30 degrees.
Uh, roger.
Understand approved 30 degree deviations, uh, Trinity 1483.
Eddie, I need to talk to you.
- [captain] Please return to your seats… - Eddie.
[sighs] What?
I've also called the flight attendants and asked them…
Listen, don't freak out, all right?
What?
[sighs]
[breathes deeply]
When we get to LA, I decided I'm going to public school.
[breathes shakily] What?
I don't know. I-I just… [inhales deeply]
You know, we're moving, and I wanted to make a change.
You know, it's normal, Eddie.
People go to school. [stammers] It's normal.
Jordan, public schools suck. You've told me that a million times.
We're getting a much better education.
[scoffs] But we can't be together every single day
for the rest of our lives, Eddie.
- So it's about girls? - What? No.
- Real smart being led around by your dick. - Come on, Ed--
Nice timing, Jordan. You're telling me now?
[stammers] I've been trying to tell you.
- It's-- Eddie, Eddie, come on… - [sighs]
- …Eddie, stop. Calm down. - Can I get past you?
- No. Eddie, you're my brother. - [Bruce] Hey.
- We're always gonna be-- Eddie! - Move!
- [Bruce] What's going on? Eddie! Eddie! - [captain] Ladies and gentlemen,
this is Captain speaking, uh, as you can, uh, tell…
Mom! Mom!
What's going on, sweetie?
Jordan said he's going to public high school.
Hey, honey.
So you knew?
You're my mom, and you knew about this, and you didn't tell me.
- Honey. - So you're letting him do it?
Public schools suck.
- Isn't that what Dad always told us? - I know that this is a lot.
- I'm sorry, he can't be up here right now. - We just need one minute.
The pilot's made an announcement,
- and the seat belt sign is on. - Mom. Mom.
Okay, it's my son. Please.
All right, one minute.
- Mom. - I know this is a lot of change at once.
Everything was good the way it was. Why does it all have to change?
Your brother just needs some independence.
It's a natural thing. I know it doesn't make sense right now,
but in a couple of years, you're gonna want that independence too.
- And I know it hurts. - [thunder rumbling]
I-I know how hard it hurts, but you guys will always have each other.
- I promise you, okay? - [thunder rumbles]
- We're moving to LA for your job. - Flight attendants, this is the captain.
- Jordan is going to public school. - Please take your jump seats.
[Eddie] I never wanted to move. I never wanted things to be different.
- Sweetie, I understand, okay? I do. I do. - No, you don't.
No, you don't. You should've told me
- before I got on this plane. - You need to get back to your seat.
[Eddie] I hate change!
- I hate your stupid TV writing… - Now!
- …and I hate you! - Please, don't say that!
- [flight attendant] Fasten your seat belt. - Eddie. Eddie, I love you!
Everyone needs to put their laptops away.
[flight attendant 2] Tables up. We're experiencing turbulence.
I need to take all service items now.
Tray tables up. Tray tables up. Collect all service items.
Thank you so much.
- Everything's okay. - [passenger] Is everything okay?
Oh, it's fine. Everything's gonna be okay. Thank you.
[flight attendant 3] Flight attendants will now demonstrate the brace position.
Lean forward as far as you can and grab your arms tightly.
[blowing]
Hmm?
[clicks tongue] Oh, it's your father. I wonder if he got our silly pictures.
[Zoe] "Lonely pilgrim"? What is he talking about?
Well, he loves us.
Yeah, or he had one too many cocktails.
Probably. Probably that too.
[thunder rumbling]
[captain] I need you to run the dual engine checklist.
We have a red emergency. We've had a dual engine failure.
We're gonna try a restart.
At this point, I need you to prepare the cabin for a potential ditching.
[passengers exclaiming]
[breathes heavily]
[phone dings, vibrates]
[passengers clamoring]
[breathes heavily] I-I need to go be with my family.
We'll be okay.
Yeah. Yes, we will.
Hey! Hey! You all right?
- We're okay. We're okay. - [breathes heavily] Okay. Okay.
- [flight attendant] Ma'am! - Everyone's okay.
- Back to your seat. - This is my wife.
This is my family.
- I-I need to stay with my family, please. - Ma'am.
I'm so sorry, the captain has made it very clear everyone must remain seated.
[parent 2] These are my kids.
- I need to stay with my kids. - [Bruce] She's their mother!
Ma'am, please don't make me repeat myself. Get back to your seat!
[Bruce] It's okay.
- [flight attendant] Now! Now, ma'am! - Jane. It's okay.
- You're gonna be okay, you guys. - [Bruce] Jane!
- It's okay. - [Jane] Yeah. Okay.
- We'll see you when we land. - We're gonna be fine.
- Okay, bye. - [Jordan] Love you, Mom.
- Mom! - See you.
It's okay.
[thunder rumbling]
- Mom! - [passengers shouting]
[Bruce] It's okay, Eddie. It's gonna be fine.
It's just some bad turbulence.
This is Captain speaking.
We are going to make, uh, an emergency landing,
uh, short of our destination at Denver International…
[indistinct] Thank you.
[Bruce] Hey, hold my hand.
- [Jordan breathes shakily] - I gotcha. I gotcha.
Eddie, you all right?
- [breathes heavily] - [Bruce] It's all right.
[Jordan] Hey, Eddie. It's okay. Look at me.
I checked, there's a bus that goes to the beach in Santa Monica.
Tomorrow we can go swimming in the ocean together. Okay?
- Okay, just me and you. - [passengers shouting]
- Okay. - It's gonna be okay.
I'm really scared, Jordan. I'm really goddamn scared.
[Jordan] I know. Just think about the beach. Okay?
[speaks indistinctly] …forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
[baby crying]
[Washington] Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…
…the kingdom and power and the glory--
[cries]
[screaming]
Hey.
- [baby crying] - [chuckles]
[cries]
[alarm blaring]
[copilot] Ah! Fuck!
- It's coming. - Oh, my God!
[flight attendant] Brace! Brace! Stop! Stay down!
[Jane] Eddie!
- Eddie! Jordan! - [flight attendant] Brace! Brace!
Heads down!
Okay, let's go. We gotta brace now. Listen to me, put your head down
- in between your legs right now… - Dad, I'm scared.
…right now, head down, head down.
- Come on. - [Jane] God help us.
- I'm here with you. I'm here with you. - [flight attendant] Stay down, everybody!
[Bruce] Head down. Head down.
[Eddie] I love you, dad.
- [flight attendant] Stay down! - [baby cries]
[breathes shakily]
[Jordan] I love you guys. I love you.
[Rose] Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil,
for thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me…
- You're okay, Eddie. You're okay. - I love you, Dad.
[Jordan crying]
- [engine whirring] - [flight attendant] Stay down!
[Bruce] I love you, guys.
[Jordan] Love you, Dad.
[alarm blaring]
- [blows] - [cell phone buzzing]
[inhales deeply]
[grunts]
Hello?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll be ready.
It's just not a look.
- Okay. Well, I understand. - You know it. You of all people.
- Oh. I don't wanna say goodbye. - I know. I know. But I gotta go.
- You do? - I do, yeah. I do.
I love you.
Okay. Okay.
- Happy birthday. Happy birthday. - Happy birthday. Bye.
- [Dee Dee] I love you. - I love you.
[grunts]
[cell phone buzzing]
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
[Eddie] Here.
Here.
Oh, my God. [breathes heavily]
[grunts]
[groans, grunts]
[Eddie breathes shakily] I'm here.
I'm here. [breathes shakily]
Okay.
- Okay. I gotcha. Come here. - [breathes heavily]
- [breathes heavily] You're gonna be okay. - [Eddie breathes heavily]
[breathes heavily] I'm right here.
[breathes heavily]
I'm here.
