Final Recovery (2025) Movie Script
1
Louise, come on honey, let's get going.
Fine...
All right, Louise, let's get going.
We gotta get home.
You've been so good, I'm gonna let
you open a present tonight, okay?
All right, you think of everything.
Wait in the car to heat's on.
So what do you want?
Nothing, just how
was your store today?
You make any cool sales?
No, you crackhead.
Now leave me alone
and get out of my face.
Okay, maybe just could you spare me
a few bites like you did last time?
I didn't spare any bites, I was
throwing them out.
Now fuck off and leave
me alone, you fucking numbnut.
Okay, all right, okay, how about
just help me out just one more time?
Let me make this clear.
Yeah.
Fuck off and leave me alone.
Okay, okay, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
How come you
couldn't just help me out, man?
Could you guys just want a little
bit of help at some point?
What could you
just help me out, huh?
Fuck, godd, motherf.
Help, help me.
Deck the halls with lots of funny.
La la la la la la la la la la la,
Merry f Christmas.
Okay, get my pills.
Come on, get my specials here.
I need a tab-ooooooh.
Don't you get away from
me, you little f.
Look at this, oooh yeah,
"Nanny Lou Specials".
I'm happy.
Yeah, I'll put you back in
there in one, two, three.
What the?
Whoa
Whoa, God, what do
you bastards want, huh?
Shut the f up you p
Come on, theft, possession of
Schedule 1 narcotics.
Rodney, this is trouble.
Oh, come on, man.
We need to make sure this is all over.
No, no, no, no, no, man, he's
already fucking out.
Let's carry him out then.
Get him to the treatment room.
Dr. Sam will tend to him.
Louise.
What?
They went too hard on him.
You need to tame those boys.
It appears Rodney is
the one that needs taming.
Just go tend to his
wounds and bruises,
since that's what I pay you for.
All right, I...
All right, you boys did good tonight
getting Rodney back here.
There you go.
Thanks.
I had to take a little something out
of your pay, Levi,
for roughing him up too much.
Oh, come on, Nanny Lou, look,
he came at me first I...
Don't sass me.
You should be a little bit more respectful,
like our good friend Jacob there.
Seriously, he's a
nice, upstanding man.
Money please?
Thanks.
Keep me informed of
any news you hear, okay?
You got it.
Shame on you.
Just shame on you, Rodney.
When will you ever burn?
Louise, he's been
sleeping good for a few hours.
We should let him sleep.
You worry too much, Sam.
I'm just consoling my client.
But he's going to be sore for a while.
I know.
It hurts my heart.
But you'll make it
better, won't you?
I certainly will.
Thank you for your dedication.
I care about these people.
Once they leave, it's really hard.
It's hard to keep up
with them after they leave.
And I hope they
stay on the right path.
Some of them do, and
some of them don't.
But we do the best we can here.
Does it bother you at all that we
lose most of them
when they discharge?
Of course.
We just hope that they stay on that
path to sobriety.
What the... it's not even 5 AM.
There will not be any
family members here.
Shit.
I found him like this in the car.
What?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Right on of my f shoes.
Thanks, crackhead.
I'll buy you new ones.
Did you get the specials?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got them.
That's so he doesn't choke.
You're lucky it was
me who found them, too.
I am.
Don't get too cocky.
There's plenty of others out there
wearing that same blue uniform
that like me and my
money just as much as you do.
He looks like shit.
You sure I shouldn't
take him to the hospital?
He'll be all right.
I'll see to that.
Just come back later.
I'll get your payment.
All right.
Rest in peace, motherf.
What happened?
Just get him to room seven.
He's going to need
to sleep this off.
He's not in good condition.
Should we call an ambulance?
You're a doctor, Sam.
Act like one and do your job.
Sending him to the hospital right
now is not the greatest idea
because he's got my specials in him.
Hang in there, buddy.
We're getting you there.
You waking up?
Good.
I'm Dr. Sam Potter.
You can call me Sam,
You can call me Doc,
Call me whatever you want.
You were in bad
shape when we got you.
But you made it.
You're young and strong.
That's good.
Now, here at Sage, do
you need me to call anyone
to let them know where you are?
You want some water...
Nah, you're still sleeping.
That's the best thing for you.
You were lucky this time.
OK.
It's better.
I'll be back.
Good morning, Rhonda.
Hi...
I appreciate you bringing some of
Rodney's belongings since
he's going to be
back here for a while.
Yeah.
It's fine.
I'm used to it by now.
He's in the treatment room.
You know where that is.
Nanny Lou.
Thank you for all you two.
You know, I'm always here for you.
Hey, Rhonda.
Hey.
Oh, Rhonda.
Please don't start bitching at me.
I'm not.
At this point,
Rodney, I don't give a shit.
Why are you even here?
Because nobody else gives a shit
about your ass, Rodney.
Nanny Lou knows it.
Why do you think she asked me to
bring you some things?
Please, just go.
Just leave.
You know you're going to die in here
or get yourself killed.
Why do you even care?
I don't.
I don't at all.
But I have a kid here who does and
another one up there.
Nick was my son to Rhonda.
I loved him.
It's your fault that he's gone.
You have to realize that, Rodney.
Don't Rhonda...
Just get the f out of here.
Go!
Don't say that shit, Rhonda.
Just go.
Just get the f out of here.
Fuck you.
B... God d...
Oh, God d it.
I told you to keep
your butt in the car.
How's Dad.
Like he always is.
Worthless and ornery.
He's been doing good lately.
What happened?
Kylie, he has not
done good in years.
You know that.
He's changed, Mom.
You've got to forgive the past or
it's going to hold
him, you, us back forever.
Look, I'm sorry that we're going
through this again, okay?
But it's just not that easy.
Dustin?
Dustin, sweetheart?
You have company.
This is Rodney.
He is going to be your roommate for
the time you're here.
Now, you guys play nice together,
I'm going to have to
straighten you both out.
F her.
Rodney, that isn't very nice of you.
Not after everything
she's done for you.
She only says that s because
she's afraid we're going to go
to the street and kill somebody.
And look what she
has to put up with.
With you, with me.
We have to earn it.
I had to earn it.
You have no d idea what really
goes on around here.
You know what? You're lucky.
You're lucky you
don't know what I know.
Yeah.
I know a hell of a lot
more than I'd like to know.
S. F.
Don't make a f mess.
What's your poison?
Let me guess. Specials.
You don't say much, do you?
Dustin.
Oh yeah. I know who you are.
It's like I never left Dexter.
Everybody knows each other.
There's some bada folks in Dexter.
Tell you what, Junior...
You stick with me and I'll help you
survive this s hole.
I think I know exactly who you are.
You can keep your
fatherly advice to yourself.
Okay. All right then.
We'll see how Nanny Lou and her
program treat you.
Don't say I didn't
f warn you either.
You're all talk. All talk.
You're warning me...
warning me of what?
Huh?
Make sure you hit
that f can too.
Excuse me. Hello. Hello everyone.
This handsome young man. He's new
here. His name is Dustin.
Nice little sage walk. And you
guys are already
familiar with Rodney here.
Welcome back, Rodney.
Sweetheart.
God d it. What are you
doing back here so soon?
It's okay. I'll be alright.
Okay. Okay, Tanya.
Go have a seat, honey.
You. You!
Hey, what is this? Can
you control your people?
This is my new next husband.
Tonya, that is the
last thing you need.
You need to focus
on your own recovery.
- Just focus...
- Oh, I will. I will once Nanny Lou
brings me from this prison.
I will.
Y-You can leave.
Heather, you haven't opened your
face hole this entire time and now
you're just like,
"Ughaaah, ughaaah." Look for my shit.
- Okay, okay. That's enough.
- Yeah
That is enough, Tanya.
That is enough, okay?
She is always enough.
Ya know what? Everybody in
here can kiss my
left a.
So f you. F you. F you. Not
you. Not you. Not you.
Okay, okay. Okay. Just breathe.
That's good. That's good.
Session's about to start so just
everybody just breathe.
Oh, Marianne. Oh great!
Great. This is our
new, our newbie here.
This is Dustin and you know Rodney.
Hello, fellas!
Thank you for joining us.
We already met this morning with the
others so quick check in.
How are you two feeling?
Like shit.
Oh, just give it some time and in a
few days you will
get your balance again.
Dustin, right?
Yeah, that's right.
I am Marianne Patterson.
I work as the counselor here at the
Sage and also with several rehab
facilities in the area.
I am so glad that you and Rodney are
in Room 6 together.
I think that you guys could be good
support for each other.
Why? Because there are only two men
in southeast Michigan who are sober.
I don't think that that's the case.
But I do think that if
you want to stay clean,
that it is nice to have someone else
who has been in it who can support
you through the process.
Well, stayin' high is
the only way I stay alive.
That is faulty thinking, Rodney.
- God, Marianne
You can sit here all day and draw a
godd paycheck telling everyone
how to stay sober.
But for the rest of us, you see
there, stay high and end up here, or...
end up on the streets and disappear
like everybody else.
You have all the motivation.
You have a kid.
God, f that, all right?
Everyone keeps telling me what a
sorry ass dad I am.
I do everything in
the world for Kylie.
I do the same
thing for my son, Nick.
So just f all of
you. I'm out of here.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Tonya
All right, okay, all right.
Please.
All right, all right. I'll stay for you.
It's gonna be okay, all right.
Okay, okay-right, sit down.
Right there.
Okay, I'm gonna stay.
I'm here.
All right.
Sorry about the kids, Dustin.
So why don't you share a little bit?
I stopped taking my regular meds,
and I found some
illegal stuff to help more.
I can see how that might happen.
It wasn't working for me.
It might have been the dosage.
Yeah, I don't know.
And whatever this is, this isn't
working for me either.
Dustin...
I am here to help you.
I get it. I've been there.
The person you see in front of you
is not who I was ten years ago.
I understand.
And listen.
I do care.
- NO!
- Rodney, take the shot NOW!
Sam, please, no.
It will help. I promise.
She's got you by the balls, Sam. She
doesn't give a f about anybody.
Please just take the shot.
No!
I don't want to have to keep your
hands in your feet down
any longer than necessary.
But you're a danger to yourself.
And to the rest of us...
Leave me alone!
God!
Get him, Levi! Hold
him! Hold him down, Levi!
Get him! Give him the shot.
Give him the shot! YESSSS!!!
Good. Good job.
Don't forget who owes you Rodney.
- Dustin...
- What is this?
This-This is the program, man.
What are you doing in here? You
can't be in here, Dustin.
Come on. You gotta get out. No. Out
of here. Go to your
own room. Get out.
Sam. Please.
You can't be in here. What the?
Dustin? Dustin!
Oh my God. No, no, no. Lou, I told
her she wasn't allowed back here.
She just rushed past me.
What have you done to him?
I'm helping him. Oh, Dustin,
- you poor baby.
- Don't touch his face!
Poor baby. Look, he needs us. That's
what we're here for.
Gladys, quickly. Get back up front.
Do not let anyone else back here.
Levi, I really appreciate your help
getting him in here
You sure let me knock
him out with my fists.
Save your drugs.
You need to calm down.
We can't keep giving him such a high
dose. It's dangerous.
Stay here. Make sure he doesn't
seize or throw up.
There's always something. I'd better
go deal with Cindy now to make sure
she doesn't become a problem.
Is he okay? When
can I bring him home?
He's far from okay, Cindy.
You and I both know that.
Dustin is sick. He needs to stay
here for a while
so he can get clean.
We can't afford to pay for him to
stay here. Besides, I
already know what he needs.
This is all from
his PTSD from Aleppo.
And I've taken all kinds of college
courses and online
classes just so I can help him.
I'm certain you love
your brother, Cindy.
But he's sick like the rest of my
patients in here.
The state will pay
for his rehabilitation.
I've already got Miss Gladys
filling out the paperwork.
I don't think he's
going to want to stay here.
Well, he does not have a choice.
It's either here or in jail.
The law caught Dustin with a lot of
drugs in his car.
So it's either here, jail, or in
some cases, these addicts just...
disappear and are never seen again.
Well, look, I need his
help at my shop in town.
It's very difficult for me to get
anybody to work these days,
especially for anything
less than 20 bucks an hour.
You surprised me, Cindy.
I thought you were just a loving,
sweet sister who wanted to
take care of her brother.
You have no idea what it's like.
I want him at the shop so
I can keep my eye on him.
Because when he's out of
my sight, I lose my mind.
It's just not fair.
Fair? There's no such thing as fair.
Believe me, I've seen it all.
I lost somebody close
to me because of drugs.
How long does he have to stay here?
The state of Michigan will pay for
30 days, and I can always reapply if
he's still not clean.
Can I visit him whenever I want?
We'll see how he's progressing.
You can't keep me from seeing him.
Jail is just one phone call away.
Please.
You know what? I'll make you a deal.
And just know I
don't really offer deals.
I will let Dustin come and help you
out for a few hours
a day at your shop.
Really?
Yes.
As long as you let some of my other
patients come and
look at your store too.
As long as I get to see Dustin...
I could definitely use the extra help.
But I can't pay them anything.
Don't worry. This
state will pay. Yeah.
They'll give me the money for their
rehab to jobs program.
It's a win-win
situation for all of us then.
Maybe.
Oh. I'm glad we have a deal.
Oh. Just one more thing.
Nobody else needs to know this.
Except for you and me. Right?
As long as I get to see Dustin.
You will.
Nanny Lou, please don't be mad at me
when I ask you this question, okay,
but do you think it's a good idea to
let him and others
just leave here without...
without their permission?
I mean...
I don't know. I mean, she's...
she onto us.
I could feel it.
Don't worry.
No one figures this out, Levi.
Nope.
I'm always two steps ahead of them.
Good morning.
Good morning, everyone.
Hey. Hi, guys. Good
morning. How you guys doing?
God. Take a look at me and I'll tell
you how we're doing.
We all know it's a process.
I'm just trying to make it better.
You don't have to be so grumpy all
the time, Rodney.
How about you?
How are you doing, Dustin?
Headache.
Well, it'll be okay.
Nanny Lou's gonna
make everything better.
God, it is too
f early for her.
Watch your mouth.
You know, I'm really surprised
you're still acting this way.
After everything she's done for you.
What a joke.
That crazy woman's done
a number on this town.
Wow. Really?
Yeah.
Hey.
Aren't you one of
Nanny Lou's outside kids?
Mhm?
Well, don't cross her.
She's worse on her inside kids.
Good morning, people.
Ready to start our meeting circle?
Hmm.
Okay.
Okay, so let's get started.
Who's gonna go first?
Dustin?
Nah, I don't feel like it.
Just try.
You may never feel like it.
I know this is hard, but
I'm here to support you.
We all are.
Dustin, your sister and I talked,
and you... You can't
continue to self-medicate
to mask the pain of
what happened over there.
Maybe I can. Maybe I can't.
That's your try? So that's it?
Marianne, Junior here,
he's a man of few words.
He doesn't say much.
Rodney, I'm glad that you are
thinking of someone
other than yourself.
But he needs to...
D.
I'm here.
Uh, she's high.
Heather, what are you on?
Drugs.
Where did you get it?
Shh. It's a secret.
Come on, Heather.
We checked everything when you
arrived. Where did you get it?
Well, you see, you
didn't check my c.
You're so trashy.
I think we all know
where she got them.
Rodney, what do you mean by that?
You don't look so good, Rodney.
What the hell are you doing in here,
listening in to our meetings?
No. I'm just getting a...
Another fun activity
for you and my other kids.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Thirty days is almost up for
Heather, but I see you fed her real
good to try to keep her
here today, didn't you?
And where's June, huh?
She's been cleared to leave in a
week, but now she's gone.
June managed to slip away. I have
alerted the authorities.
Sadly, there's been no sign of her
yet, but I'm sure she'll turn up.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Everything okay?
You two. You two getting along?
Of course. Rodney's interested in me
teaching him how to crochet.
Oh, that's great. That's great.
Well, learn fast.
Crochet me a sweater
before it gets any colder.
Watch your back.
Heather, don't worry. If you make a
mistake, you can just take your
needle out and undo it and then
start again. See?
Perfect. Atta girl.
Well, hello, boys. You slept late
and missed breakfast, but I bent the
rules and let you sleep a little
longer so you can get some rest
because I love you.
So anyway, here's the needles in the
yard right in this basket here.
Walt, get up...
I want the sexy one right there to
come sit by me
since Jack isn't here.
Tonya, I think you should just keep
focusing on your crochet.
I know that I'm batshit crazy, but
Ummm, I'm-I'm kind and I'm a good lover and
I'm also really talented.
OWAH NANNY LOU!
COME ONNN
I need justa little...
OHHHH! YOU KNOW,
I love you, love you, love you
Oh, Tanya. Go, Tanya. That's great.
- Woo, Go Tonya
Just save it for
the dinner show, okay?
Come on, why don't you two join us?
Crochet really helps reduce stress.
Where's Jack?
Jack is in isolation.
He fell ill last night. I think he
got into something
he shouldn't have.
I thought nobody could
get anything in here.
Unfortunately, sometimes they do.
I mean, I'm good, but I can't stop you
all from acting out
on your bad habits.
Now please, grab
your yarn and a needle.
You don't want to upset Nanny Lou.
You're one crazy woman.
It's perfectly fine
if you're mad at me.
Don't get over it in no time.
Hey, you need to bite your tongue.
Show some humility.
You say you know the program yet you
keep falling into it.
Maybe we can help each other.
How's a kid like
you going to help me?
Huh?
Because I know what it's like to be
out of control and reactive.
Angry.
You had a son, right?
Don't you ever f mention my son
again, do you hear me?
You have no goddamn
idea what it's like to...
You're right. I don't know.
What happened?
I'm not here to judge you, Rod.
It's-Umm...
It was an accident, you know?
I got high, as always, and...
I forgot to pick him up at school.
He just-he decided to walk and...
Some asshole hit him.
I mean, I just left him on the side
of the road, you know?
That's some heavy s, man.
Oh, god.
D it.
D, I just want to get out of this
godd place and get high.
S, I don't know when I get out.
Keep your voice down.
She can't hear things
- from across the room.
- You love your Nanny
Lou, don't you?
Thank you, Jacob.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Levi, clean the
rest of these things.
I've got stuff to do.
Dustin.
Cindy.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
This is Rodney.
We've been sharing a room.
Nice to meet you, Rodney.
Oh, yeah. You too.
We're gonna try to help each other.
That's wonderful, Dustin.
I really hope you do.
When are you gonna get me out of here?
Dustin, I can't.
Nanny Lou said that you have to stay
here for a month.
Or you're gonna go to jail for the
drugs that they found him.
Her drugs.
What?
What it means is she likes to keep
us in here to make sure
we're on the right drugs.
Cindy, take me home.
Dustin, look.
I wish I could, but...
Nanny Lou did say that you can work
at the shop with me a few days a
week for a few hours.
But you're gonna have to be here in
the evening and you're
gonna have to stay the night.
Really?
Yeah. Really.
Rodney here, he can come along too.
We have enough work for that.
I mean, I guess. It's been getting
busier with the permaculture farming
happening in Flint, Detroit now.
We're sure it was
something we can figure out.
Thanks, sis. I think Rodney and I
can do better if we have each other.
You know, it...
It may make it easier
for me to stay clean.
Dustin, I need you to stay sober.
Like, I really,
really need you to try.
Yeah, I'm not sure Nanny Lou's gonna
let me get out to go to work though.
Well, we can ask. Can we, Cindy?
Maybe we can try.
Here we go.
The Dark State is gonna kill us all.
Okay, well, that's good to know.
Beware of the leadership here.
They're all reptiles in league with
the Dark State,
killing us with drugs.
- Really?
- I think we're
doing that to ourselves.
No. They forced the drugs on us so
that they can control our minds.
Come on, Paul. Let's go.
That's Dr. Paul.
Doctor, come with me. I got a very
crucial case to look at.
Okay. They can take away my license,
my patience, even my livelihood.
But I earned that damn degree. You
call me "Doctor."
What the fuck was that all about?
That is really sad.
Yah, that's crazy.
Kylie.
- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, sweetheart.
So good to see you.
You too.
Oh, my gosh.
This is your daughter?
Oh, yeah. Kylie, this is my
roommate, Dustin.
Dustin, this is Kylie.
Hi.
- Hi
Well, since Rodney's being rude and
not introducing me,
I'll do it myself.
I'm Rhonda, Rodney's wife.
We've been separated
a few years, though.
Well, it's nice to meet
you, Rhonda. I'm Cindy.
Dustin.
We've been taking care
of your goats and donkey.
Really? I appreciate that.
It's costing me a lot
of money for the food.
I know. I'm gonna pay you, Rhonda.
I'll believe that when I see it.
Please don't start.
You don't want to start with
anything that doesn't get you high.
That's the problem, Rodney.
It's what lands you
here again and again.
It leaves me taking care of a
daughter without her father.
Do you know how much
stress that I'm under?
I give everything I have every ounce
of myself to our daughter.
You know good d well I'd do
anything for Kylie.
Anything except stay clean, Rodney.
Anything except picking up our son
after school like
you're supposed to.
No.
There's nothing I can do
to bring Nick back.
But I'm in here because I'm trying
to be a better man.
Try harder, Rodney.
I'll let you poke me.
- Now I go again?
- That's what she said
- Oh, you did.
- I did.
Uh-oh.
Hot d.
Tonya, you didn't win.
No, no, no.
Jack beats the queen.
No, queen beats.
No, you didn't win. You lost.
The pop. The pop is fried my brain.
Speaking of Jack, I miss Jack.
He would have loved this.
Yeah.
I showed him my t literally every
day and he didn't say goodbye.
It's a little tasteless... if you ask me...
Rodney, can I talk to you?
I'll be back.
Guess the game is on hold.
It's your world. We're just a
squirrel trying to
get a nut, Rodney.
What did, what did Rhonda tell you?
Oh, it's all good. I actually have a
surprise for you.
Cindy was telling me that Dustin
really wants you to work
with them at their store.
I think it's a good idea.
What's the catch?
Why do you always the worst of me?
Why shouldn't I?
I believe you and I can find more
things to agree on.
Besides, I need to get you
out of my hair for a bit.
What does that mean?
Rodney, get your sweet ass back over
here and come finish this game.
TONYA!
Calm down, sweetheart. He'll be over
there in a second.
You have been spreading rumors about
how I run this facility.
So I thought if I did you a nice
favor like this, you
would keep your mouth shut.
Oh, yeah. I knew
there was something.
You and I always
help each other out.
But you tried screwing me over.
I don't think me trying to get out
of this place and stay out is
screwing you over.
Stealing my specials
when I let you out was.
Not to mention bringing attention to
this place with your loose lips.
So what? You want me
to keep my mouth shut?
Yeah, and one other thing.
Oh God, here we go.
I want you to find me more
customers for my specials.
I'm sure some of Cindy's clientele
would be very interested.
Nope, I'm not going to involve
Dustin and Cindy in this.
Yeah, I figured you'd say that. So,
um, to sweeten the deal,
I'll let you take some specials
while you're in here.
I'm hiding them right here in this
Christmas tree just for you.
Why are you so evil?
You know why.
There's no changing me.
Hey, Rodney.
I'm watching you, yeah?
Hey, look at me.
Don't you even think about
pulling any s with me?
Stay where I can see you.
Hey, you've been
real quiet all morning.
It's going to be fine. Don't worry.
I haven't had a real
job in eight years.
Besides, I worry about the others
when I'm not there.
Especially Tonya.
Look, we're going to take it one
step at a time and trust me,
Cindy will make sure
we don't fall off track.
We've got to let Tonya and the
others go take care of yourself first.
- Alright, alright
Dustin, Rodney!
What the fuck?
Tanya, if Nanny Lou
sees you, you're in for it.
Go back to your room. No, go back.
Please, listen to me.
No! No!
Get rid of her.
-You bitch, no
-Come here, come here
You're okay. You're okay.
Rodney!
I've had enough of you.
Are you okay?
Oh, well, hello there, boys.
Glad to see you this morning.
Sis', morning.
Hi.
Dustin, can you do me a favor?
Can you go on the back and work on
my online orders and
get them ready to ship?
Boss is in.
Thank you.
Rodney, I'll be right
there for you, okay?
Yeah.
So, I'm not sure how much Dustin has
told you about the business, but we
sell a lot of handmade
and local produce, okay?
Here we have tons of
apples, 11 different kinds.
We are in apple season.
Peaches there, we have the plums.
We have these apple
cider and the mild salsa.
I highly recommend you try that as
everybody raves, all right?
We have these shirts. They're a hot
seller. Keep them stocked.
There is the candy apples and the
sugar-coated almonds.
It's a lot of stuff in here.
Yeah, look, Rodney, I'm not
expecting you to
remember all this, okay?
With Dustin, it's a million times
over, and with him, the drugs, it's
my daddy, the alcohol.
I appreciate you giving me this
chance. I'm going to
do a good job for you.
Thanks, Rodney. I appreciate that.
So, over here, we have these bears.
They're a hot seller.
What happens? We get
them flat, okay? They ship flat.
And we have to stuff them.
But what's really cool is people
will get a trinket, and they'll kiss
it to give it a wish on it,
and shove it in the
bear, and we close it up.
They sell for $5.95.
Wow, I could get one
for Kylie for Christmas.
She's still a kid to me, you know.
Yeah, hopefully she stays that way.
Yeah, I hope she's not
a hard-ass like her mom.
Please, we're all in
this together. All right.
Dustin! Dustin! Oh my God!
Hey!
Dustin!
S!
What's wrong with him?
Does he, a epilepsy?
No, It's from Aleppo.
Fucking Nanny Lou.
All right.
All right, let's go, kids.
All righty.
Let's go, man. I ain't got all day.
It's a game at five.
Let's go. You alright?
So, hey, man, why can't that asshole
partner Levi of
yours be more like you?
Ahh, Not my partner, but I think he's got
a little bit too much
of Nanny Lou in him.
Tell him to have fun shoveling all
that pig shit for her
back at the cookery.
I'm not going to tell him any of
that shit or about any other shit.
He already doesn't like you guys,
especially not you.
But hey, have a good one.
Hey, Rodney.
Hey, man. Where is everybody?
D, if I know. They need to bring
their a on, man.
They wasting my d time.
You coming in hot, Walt.
You all right?
Man, my month is almost up. I need
to get out of here and
see how my girl is doing.
I like how you fight to stay clean
for her, but you got
the worst taste in women.
Yeah. True that. And don't leave
that crazy mother of mine off that
list of people who kept me going
down the wrong path.
Rodney. Come here.
I'm worried about Tonya.
What's she done this time?
She's looking for you this morning.
Running down the
hallway yelling your name.
What?
I know, look, I
asked Sam where Tanya was.
Man, we both know she ain't getting
out here for testing
clean like he claims.
Man, she worse than
all of us combined.
You saw her at that last
meeting. She was a mess.
Well, look at you guys. All ready to
get started. Walt and Rodney.
My time is valuable, Marinne.
I'll take note of that, Walt, but I
think we should just wait a few
minutes for Heather.
- Walt, can I
speak with you for a minute?
Walt, don't take anything...
I'm talking to Walt, not you.
Well, Rodney, what
did you want to say?
Umm... I was just going to say, don't take
too long. We want to get started.
We're still waiting on Heather and
Tonya's been released, so if we have
to start without
them, we can do that.
Please, don't worry about Walt.
I know what's best for him, don't I?
And I just want to let you all know
Heather is being tended
to right now by Dr. Sam.
Come on along now, Walt.
Come here. I've got something to
show you. It's a surprise. Come on,
Nanny Lou, come on. That's my boy.
It's good to get out of
that place for a while.
Yeah, I'm not sure how long this is
going to last, though.
Nanny Lou is up to something.
Like what?
See how she keeps wanting us to get
out of the facility?
Did she hide in something?
Mm-hmm. People keep getting out
before they should, and I haven't
been able to talk to Tonya in a...
well, one minute...
I don't remember much, but I never
forgot her mother's phone number.
Hey, Myrtle, it's Rodney.
Have you seen Tonya?
Myrtle, dont-don't hang up.
I haven't seen Tanya.
Come on, Myrtle, no, ugh.
Hello. Can I help you with anything?
Nah, I just need to look around.
Well, we do have some sales on the
jewelry up here if
you want to take a look.
Yeah, I'm good.
Hey, man.
How are you doing?
Why don't you get your girlfriend
one of these teddy
bears? It's only $5.95.
Yeah? Take a look at that.
Pretty good. Let me
just get that put in.
And stuff it up for you.
That should be good.
- Appreciate it.
- Merry Christmas.
You too.
Is that going to be it for you?
Yeah.
All right, well, it's
$5.95, taxes included.
Cool. Keep the change.
Thank you.
Hey, Rod.
Huh?
Did you make a sale?
Yeah.
Is this your first sale?
Yes.
And no big loudmouth celebration?
Well, great job, Rodney.
I heard my dad was
getting to work here some.
Hey, Kylie.
Mom, can I come here after school
and just wait here
until you get off of work?
I mean, I could help out.
That's a good idea sweetie
We can try having you come here and
see how it works out.
Great. Thank you, Rhonda.
Oh, hey, look.
I want to get you one of these
teddy bears for Christmas.
Cindy can take it out of my pay.
No, you don't need to buy me one.
I saw Mike Connor leaving here with
one right before I came in.
He wants to be my boyfriend.
Oh, he is not going
to be your boyfriend.
He could be.
Stay the hell away from him, Kylie.
Stop! That hurts.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- What the hell are you doing?
I'm sorry.
You show that kind of behavior again
and you will never see her again.
Okay, Rhonda. Kylie, I'm sor...
Come on, Kylie...
Cindy and I will keep
an eye out. I promise.
You d well better.
Look, Rhonda, he
really is getting better.
You know, for your sake, I hope he
stays on that path.
I would not want to see another
woman go through what
he's put me through.
Come on, Kylie.
$6.99.
Well, hello, boys.
How was your day?
Busy.
Busy's good. Keeps
the trouble at bay.
Rodney?
What?
Your day? I trust it went well?
Whatever.
Dustin, why don't you give me a
minute with Rodney?
Seems he's got
something on his mind.
I can handle her. I got it.
Don't you go getting paranoid like
Rodney now, Dustin.
Go on now. Scoot.
Here.
This is what you've
been waiting for, right?
You did good, Rodney.
You're a lot more
like me than you think.
Screw that.
I hope you didn't say anything
disparagingly about me to Cindy.
I would hate for you to tarnish the
reputation of our great facility.
Great facility, yeah. Look, I
know you're up to something.
You're doing more than just drugs here.
Where the hell is Tonya?
Tanya's fine.
Really?
'cause I called her mother
and she's not there.
The last place she'd
be is at her mother's.
And you know I can't say anything.
I strictly abide by all HIPAA rules.
Don't give me that bulls
Where's Tanya?
She's in a special place doing well.
People here deserve so much better
Better than me?
These people are
barely people at all.
When I started this place, all I
wanted to do was to
help these addicts.
Now the only thing I can do is hope
that, God, they
don't hurt anybody else.
You really need to let go
of the past, little Louise.
One addict doesn't represent all addicts.
An addict killed my father.
An addict will kill anybody for a hit.
You're pathetic
Hello! I'm here.
Hey, why aren't you
back there helping Dustin?
I wanted to spend time
up here with you, Dad.
No, no, I think you
should go help Dustin.
You don't ever care
what I want to do.
You only ever cared about Nick.
Hey, Kylie, do you mind helping me
in the back real fast?
Kylie, go.
Oh, God.
If there's something else that she
can do, that's fine.
I don't mind her
helping me with that.
No, no, she just can't keep seeing
the whole world revolves around her.
I mean, she knows
I love her as much as I did
Nick, that's just her, that's her
damn mom talking.
I'm sorry, Rodney.
I can imagine it sucks being dad.
Yeah, you could have that right.
Hello.
Thanks for sharing that, Walt.
I know that Sage is not as upscale
to some addiction places,
but it's smaller and
it's more individualized.
I know it's smaller. I'm just pissed
I ain't got a better room.
Damn, Walt.
Ever since Jack left, you've got
your own room and it's
the biggest one here.
Rodney, why do you even care who's
paying for Walt's room?
It's none your business...
Well, if anyone's
ever complaining about rooms
it should be me and Dustin.
Now Heather has her own room.
That-That's only because Tonya left.
Okay, let's settle down. Listen.
You guys all have shelter and you
have food and you have
a program that works.
- That's all you need.
- Yeah
You know, I bet you Tonya got kicked out
because she was f Walt too much.
Stay on my business, b!
Oh, oh!
Dustin, come on. Let go.
It's Walt! Dustin! Let go!
Get the f off me!
Dustin, you are safe.
What the f, Dustin?
You are safe. You are
at Sage. You're safe.
Am I? Are we?
Yeah.
Come on.
God, man. I'm sorry. You all right?
Fuck! Heather! Oh shit! Heather!
Fuck! What's going
on? Help me out here.
Help me get on the floor.
Walt! Go get Sam!
- Oh, God! Oh, watch your head.
Oh, God. Heather,
I'm here with you.
You're going to be all right.
You're going to be all right.
Rodney's right here.
Doctor's coming.
Oh, you're okay. It's Rodney. It's Rodney
I'm right here. I'm right here.
- Where's Sam? God.
- Sam!
Come on. Heather, I'm right here.
It's Rodney. You're going to be
okay, sweetheart.
You're going to be okay. I got you.
Oh God, Get Sam, somebody.
Sam!
I got you. I got you.
What'd you do to her?
What happened? What happened?
Sam, sit down.
Be quiet.
Her pulse is faint.
Her blood pressure is dropping.
Walt, Rodney, get her to the
treatment room, quick.
Help me up. Come on, sweetheart.
We got you. We got you.
Sam, I need you to sit up.
Sam, I'll deal with you later.
Come on. Let me help you up.
Get up.
What is it? Do you...
Let me go get you some water.
Oh, I am so sorry to keep you waiting.
Is Heather okay?
The addiction has destroyed her.
And how about Sam?
He was out of it too.
Do you think that...
Do you think he gave
Heather the wrong meds?
No. No.
I'm going to be honest with you.
Sam is a recovering addict.
He has stolen drugs from hospitals
and clinics and
doctor's offices and...
He lost his license.
That's why I let him live here, you
know, so I can keep an eye on him.
It helps him to stay clean.
And I don't know, I guess I just let
my keen Hawkeyes off of
him for a tad too long.
Does this happen a lot? I mean,
that's dangerous for you and others.
That's nice of you to be concerned,
Marianne, but honestly, no need to
be, because I'm here twenty-four/seven.
Well, there's probably
too much stress on you.
If you're hinting about me yelling
at everyone before
you go writing me up,
I want you to think about everything
I do for these people.
These are the hard cases. I'm the
only one who can help them.
I have no plans to write you up,
Nanny Lou. I understand hard cases.
I work with them too.
Sometimes you have to
throw the rules out.
Good...
I'm so glad we are on the same page.
I'd hate to have to write you up for
breaking the rules.
What rules have I broken?
I'm sure there are plenty. I just
have to review all the
tapes of your meetings.
Well, that's illegal.
And are you threatening me?
No, I don't threaten anybody. I tell
people to watch their backs.
Have a safe drive home, Marianne.
You know, my kids are very fond of
you, and I would hate for
you not to be here anymore.
I'll see you soon.
Rodney. How many times
have you been in here?
That's a loaded question.
How many times?
I'd say eight or nine,
give or take, five or six.
So this shit doesn't really work.
Some places do, but not here. Nanny
Lou's lost all sight
of how to help people.
So we can't trust her?
Fuck no. She's turning into a crazy
bitch. This place is scary as hell.
I do find it weird that nobody heard
from Jack or Tonya before they left.
Me too.
Who's getting out of here next?
I think it's W-it's Walt.
Look, I'm gonna figure out what's
really going on here, because
something in my gut tells me we're
not getting the whole story.
Alright, look, I know you want to be
a hero and s, but if Nanny Lou
finds out you're watching her, she's
gonna keep your ass drugged and
you're never gonna get out of here.
Look, old man, I know you have
experience in here, but I got
experience in the real world. I've
seen s that makes
this look like a joke.
Alright, look, Junior, this isn't
f combat, okay? So you need to
calm your a down for all our sake.
Big day. Everybody
feeling good? Feel good?
It looks like me and
you most of the time.
Sack of s.
Hey, how about it?
What's going on here?
Good morning! Good
morning, everyone!
I just came to make sure everybody's
ready for their Saturday visitors.
Gladys, look, can we just cut all
this formal bulls? I really just
want to see my kid.
Rodney, you better be glad Nanny Lou
didn't hear you say that. Or you
might not even be able
to see your daughter.
I don't know how she puts up with
him. I don't! I don't.
Hey, where is Nanny Lou?
She's probably in one of the private
rooms watching over us.
Private rooms?
Yeah.
- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, sweetheart.
Hi, Dustin.
Hey, how are you?
Give me a hug.
Whoa! Good to see you.
Hey, Rhonda.
Hey.
Whoa, what's wrong with you?
Mom's being pissy.
She's mad because I wouldn't let her
go to the lake this morning with a
bunch of older boys.
There were girls going, too.
I don't care who's going. He wants.
Kylie, listen to your
mom. She's always right.
Don't be a smarta, Rodney.
No, no. I wasn't, Rhonda. I mean,
it's true. Your mom, she is right.
Oh, God. Before I forget, I wanted
to give you this money.
No, you don't. That money's for me.
Look, it is, but I give it to your
mom. She handles it. She helps in
respect, alright?
Thank you.
Heather!
Heather! Come on, sweetheart. It's
Rodney. I'm right here. Come on.
Help! Somebody do something!
Heather.
What happened? Huh?
I don't know. Check her pulse, Sam.
Does she fall?
Does she fall?
I don't know. Do something.
Oh, God. Come on,
Heather. Heather, come on.
Stay with us.
What's all the commotion?
You know, you two
are the problem here.
Oh, yeah. We're the problem.
Let Dr. Sam take care of her.
Heather! Heather, are you...
Stop. Let Dr. Sam...
Levi, what the heck are you doing?
Kylie, get over here.
- It's fine. He's not bothering me.
- Hey! Keep the f away from her!
You missed lunch.
I'll get you dinner.
I don't want anything.
Heather's gonna be okay. They
managed to get her
stable. Kylie, too.
Rhonda got her out of there fast.
They should all be protected, but
I'll kill anyone that hurts Kylie,
man. She's all I got left.
And I get that. More than you know.
And so does Kylie. So does Rhonda.
Sam said that Heather's heart's
probably weakened from all the
alcohol and drugs.
That's such bulls.
We all know Nanny Lou's specials
were what hurt Heather.
Look, it's the same old routine. Sam
keeps everyone clean
until it's time to leave.
Then he gets us back on the
specials, and then we disappear.
God damn it. How is she
able to get away with this?
It's money. Money's her judge, her
jury, her law. She needs people in
here to keep making money.
We can't stay here.
She thinks she knows everything,
too. I'm gonna show
that b this time.
And she works with the team. So
should we. I'll help
you come up with the plan.
Look, man, I'm gonna do this on my
own, all right? I'm gonna make sure
she doesn't hurt you, though.
What the hell are you gonna do, you
old prick? You need me.
Junior, I got this. Trust me. Sit
back. Chill the f out.
What the hell is that?
Is everything prepared?
Yes, Ma'am
This is the last one,
the last one, I swear.
Look at me, look at me.
You'll keep doing this as long as
she tells you to do it.
No, I'm not.
You're sick f, man.
You're just as sick as we are.
Yes, but I know it.
You don't, you idiot.
Hell out of here.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Joe.
Heather.
Why are they listed as
active and in-patient?
Levi, you are a fool.
You are getting too
eager and too careless.
Next time, pay attention to what is
going on around you and
shut the damn door.
Look what you made happen.
GRRRRRR!!
Don't f move, Rodney.
The f do you want?
I have a present for you.
Please, Nanny Lou.
Come on, just take
some of these for me.
No, no, no, no.
Swallow these!
Why would you waste
specials when you could just shoot me up?
Because I need you semi awake.
Why semi awake and drugged?
I'm doing something very nice for
you out of the goodness of my heart.
See, I have some bad news to tell
you and I figured my specials would
make it a lot more tolerable.
What terrible news?
Well, it seems your good friend
Dustin, he got a little too curious
about me and my facility last night.
Oh, yeah.
And he went and he found my office
in my supply room
and he robbed me blind.
Oh, no. Not only did he rob me
blind, he left the facility and he
took Heather with him.
And I'm so worried about her safety.
Dustin's a good guy. He wouldn't do
anything like that.
You know, I'm afraid he's just not
the man you thought he was.
Did you call Jacob to go find him?
No, no, I can't do that.
Why not?
Having everyone find out that one of
my patients who I'm responsible for
healing and
releasing back into society,
left the facility and
escaped with another patient.
Oh, my God, that would just ruin me.
Why are you drugging me?
Because... I need you to be you.
Addicted and high.
I can't have you
running off now, can't I?
No, I need you to stay calm.
Levi, can you imagine if Rodney
would have woken up and
just found Dustin gone?
Oh, that would have been a disaster.
Shhhhh...
I need you to stay very
quiet about all of this.
Remember, Levi and I know exactly
where Rhonda and Kylie live.
Don't we, Levi?
Yes, we do.
I can't let him get
them, Rhonda or Kylie.
I gotta protect them.
Oh, man, Heather.
What the f?
Heather, what the f?
Where are you?
Heather, where the f are you?
What the f?
Hey, Rodney, you seen my teeth?
Take his soul on up to
heaven, now thank you Lord.
I told you, but you
wouldn't listen to me.
It's a cutthroat world out there,
Rodney. Come here, let me
give you a great big hug.
They're all reptiles here. In this
place, it's not a
rehab, it's a sewer.
We're the rats trapped here by
drugs, but the rats don't rule here.
This place has alligators.
God, somebody help me.
Are you a reptile?
The others are.
They're gonna kill us all. Eat our
hearts and our brains.
And beware false prophets.
They lose their tongues.
God, get away from me, freak.
I know you asked.
You're one of them.
Rod, what the hell are you doing?
What the f's going on, man?
Look at that mess! Oh my
God, what are you doing?
I need to go get them man.
I gotta find Dustin and Heather.
Please help me, man.
Well, there's nothing you can do.
Give me the narcan.
Yeah, I can do that. There you go.
I'm not the doctor
anymore. I'm free.
I'm free as f.
You know, that woman,
she's killing for a living.
She really is. She's killing people.
But I'm a doctor. How am I supposed
to fit in with that p...
Rest in peace, Sam.
Shh! Sh-sh-sh-sh... Now you're free.
Dustin, come on.
Oh, God.
I'm coming, Dustin.
Oh, God.
Ah!
What the f?
D it!
Jack!
Oh, man.
This looks weird.
No...
Tonya...
Tonya, where the f are you?
Tonya, oh God.
Ah!!!
Oh, f.
Ah!
God d it!
TONYA!
No!!!
God d it!
God.
Rod...
Dus-Dustin?
Rod...
That you, man?
I'm coming for you.
God.
We gotta get out of this f place
Oh, shit.
Dustin.
Man, I told you to
be careful of her.
Rod, save yourself.
Oh, shut the f up.
Come on.
Oh, honey.
You'll never learn.
That Nanny Lou is always
here to take care of you.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Oh, God d it!
Crazy b.
Rodney.
She's gonna kill us.
Rodney, I mean, I thought
we had an understanding.
You would keep your junky nose
out of my business.
I keep selling my specials.
And I, is gonna keep
you as high as ever.
I don't want any more of
your Godd specials.
All you do is ruin people's lives.
Well, I'll be darned.
I never thought I'd see the day that
Rodney Garrett was a white knight.
But you listen to me.
If you're not out there helping me
by luring in new druggies,
how am I supposed to rid this town
of all these disgusting pests?
All you do is feed them your
specials, and then you
put them back out in this.
That's not helping this town.
How can you be so naive?
These drug addicts and pillheads
around here, most of
them will never get clean.
They're useless to
society they are.
Just a waste of my tax dollars.
Oh, sure, the state sends me money
to rehabilitate them.
But when I realize I can't
help them anymore, just... poof... ahhhh
God, you're one crazy bitch.
Why do you get to decide
who lives or dies, huh?
Because that motherfucker got to
decide whether my
daddy lived or died.
So why shouldn't I
get to decide, huh?
I mean, why isn't that fair, huh?
Seems fair to me.
God, you're so evil.
So I'm evil?
When I started this place,
I just really wanted to help people.
I really knew that there was good
inside of them still.
Or so I thought. Then I
got smarter and older.
And the image of my father getting
getting murdered by one of your kind was
all that I could see every time I
looked at one of you.
I can't rehabilitate anyone.
So, I guess it's just best for
everyone if... I dispose of the ones
who are no longer any use to me.
Rodney, you are no longer any use to me.
She's making money off the dead
ones. I saw in the
in-patient forms.
That is my business! Do you hear me?
No, Nanny Lou, please! That was just
one bad addict who killed your
daddy. You, you could be our savior.
Sweetie, I am your savior.
No, Nanny Lou, I
gotta be alive for Kylie.
Dustin, come on, man. We gotta get out
of here. Come on. I
got you. Let's go.
Alright, come on, watch it.
Rodney, that was a big, big mistake.
Oh my God, no. No, Lou. What did you
do? Enough is enough!
You picked the wrong day to f
with me, Gladys!
No, no, no, no!
You picked the wrong day to f
with me. That's why I give you a
little taste of your own medicine.
Yeah, choke on that, Nanny Lou.
EAT IT!
Die, b.
Hey, Rod.
Huh?
You think they'll be opening up?
F. I think I'm gonna start smoking again
Louise, come on honey, let's get going.
Fine...
All right, Louise, let's get going.
We gotta get home.
You've been so good, I'm gonna let
you open a present tonight, okay?
All right, you think of everything.
Wait in the car to heat's on.
So what do you want?
Nothing, just how
was your store today?
You make any cool sales?
No, you crackhead.
Now leave me alone
and get out of my face.
Okay, maybe just could you spare me
a few bites like you did last time?
I didn't spare any bites, I was
throwing them out.
Now fuck off and leave
me alone, you fucking numbnut.
Okay, all right, okay, how about
just help me out just one more time?
Let me make this clear.
Yeah.
Fuck off and leave me alone.
Okay, okay, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
How come you
couldn't just help me out, man?
Could you guys just want a little
bit of help at some point?
What could you
just help me out, huh?
Fuck, godd, motherf.
Help, help me.
Deck the halls with lots of funny.
La la la la la la la la la la la,
Merry f Christmas.
Okay, get my pills.
Come on, get my specials here.
I need a tab-ooooooh.
Don't you get away from
me, you little f.
Look at this, oooh yeah,
"Nanny Lou Specials".
I'm happy.
Yeah, I'll put you back in
there in one, two, three.
What the?
Whoa
Whoa, God, what do
you bastards want, huh?
Shut the f up you p
Come on, theft, possession of
Schedule 1 narcotics.
Rodney, this is trouble.
Oh, come on, man.
We need to make sure this is all over.
No, no, no, no, no, man, he's
already fucking out.
Let's carry him out then.
Get him to the treatment room.
Dr. Sam will tend to him.
Louise.
What?
They went too hard on him.
You need to tame those boys.
It appears Rodney is
the one that needs taming.
Just go tend to his
wounds and bruises,
since that's what I pay you for.
All right, I...
All right, you boys did good tonight
getting Rodney back here.
There you go.
Thanks.
I had to take a little something out
of your pay, Levi,
for roughing him up too much.
Oh, come on, Nanny Lou, look,
he came at me first I...
Don't sass me.
You should be a little bit more respectful,
like our good friend Jacob there.
Seriously, he's a
nice, upstanding man.
Money please?
Thanks.
Keep me informed of
any news you hear, okay?
You got it.
Shame on you.
Just shame on you, Rodney.
When will you ever burn?
Louise, he's been
sleeping good for a few hours.
We should let him sleep.
You worry too much, Sam.
I'm just consoling my client.
But he's going to be sore for a while.
I know.
It hurts my heart.
But you'll make it
better, won't you?
I certainly will.
Thank you for your dedication.
I care about these people.
Once they leave, it's really hard.
It's hard to keep up
with them after they leave.
And I hope they
stay on the right path.
Some of them do, and
some of them don't.
But we do the best we can here.
Does it bother you at all that we
lose most of them
when they discharge?
Of course.
We just hope that they stay on that
path to sobriety.
What the... it's not even 5 AM.
There will not be any
family members here.
Shit.
I found him like this in the car.
What?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Right on of my f shoes.
Thanks, crackhead.
I'll buy you new ones.
Did you get the specials?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got them.
That's so he doesn't choke.
You're lucky it was
me who found them, too.
I am.
Don't get too cocky.
There's plenty of others out there
wearing that same blue uniform
that like me and my
money just as much as you do.
He looks like shit.
You sure I shouldn't
take him to the hospital?
He'll be all right.
I'll see to that.
Just come back later.
I'll get your payment.
All right.
Rest in peace, motherf.
What happened?
Just get him to room seven.
He's going to need
to sleep this off.
He's not in good condition.
Should we call an ambulance?
You're a doctor, Sam.
Act like one and do your job.
Sending him to the hospital right
now is not the greatest idea
because he's got my specials in him.
Hang in there, buddy.
We're getting you there.
You waking up?
Good.
I'm Dr. Sam Potter.
You can call me Sam,
You can call me Doc,
Call me whatever you want.
You were in bad
shape when we got you.
But you made it.
You're young and strong.
That's good.
Now, here at Sage, do
you need me to call anyone
to let them know where you are?
You want some water...
Nah, you're still sleeping.
That's the best thing for you.
You were lucky this time.
OK.
It's better.
I'll be back.
Good morning, Rhonda.
Hi...
I appreciate you bringing some of
Rodney's belongings since
he's going to be
back here for a while.
Yeah.
It's fine.
I'm used to it by now.
He's in the treatment room.
You know where that is.
Nanny Lou.
Thank you for all you two.
You know, I'm always here for you.
Hey, Rhonda.
Hey.
Oh, Rhonda.
Please don't start bitching at me.
I'm not.
At this point,
Rodney, I don't give a shit.
Why are you even here?
Because nobody else gives a shit
about your ass, Rodney.
Nanny Lou knows it.
Why do you think she asked me to
bring you some things?
Please, just go.
Just leave.
You know you're going to die in here
or get yourself killed.
Why do you even care?
I don't.
I don't at all.
But I have a kid here who does and
another one up there.
Nick was my son to Rhonda.
I loved him.
It's your fault that he's gone.
You have to realize that, Rodney.
Don't Rhonda...
Just get the f out of here.
Go!
Don't say that shit, Rhonda.
Just go.
Just get the f out of here.
Fuck you.
B... God d...
Oh, God d it.
I told you to keep
your butt in the car.
How's Dad.
Like he always is.
Worthless and ornery.
He's been doing good lately.
What happened?
Kylie, he has not
done good in years.
You know that.
He's changed, Mom.
You've got to forgive the past or
it's going to hold
him, you, us back forever.
Look, I'm sorry that we're going
through this again, okay?
But it's just not that easy.
Dustin?
Dustin, sweetheart?
You have company.
This is Rodney.
He is going to be your roommate for
the time you're here.
Now, you guys play nice together,
I'm going to have to
straighten you both out.
F her.
Rodney, that isn't very nice of you.
Not after everything
she's done for you.
She only says that s because
she's afraid we're going to go
to the street and kill somebody.
And look what she
has to put up with.
With you, with me.
We have to earn it.
I had to earn it.
You have no d idea what really
goes on around here.
You know what? You're lucky.
You're lucky you
don't know what I know.
Yeah.
I know a hell of a lot
more than I'd like to know.
S. F.
Don't make a f mess.
What's your poison?
Let me guess. Specials.
You don't say much, do you?
Dustin.
Oh yeah. I know who you are.
It's like I never left Dexter.
Everybody knows each other.
There's some bada folks in Dexter.
Tell you what, Junior...
You stick with me and I'll help you
survive this s hole.
I think I know exactly who you are.
You can keep your
fatherly advice to yourself.
Okay. All right then.
We'll see how Nanny Lou and her
program treat you.
Don't say I didn't
f warn you either.
You're all talk. All talk.
You're warning me...
warning me of what?
Huh?
Make sure you hit
that f can too.
Excuse me. Hello. Hello everyone.
This handsome young man. He's new
here. His name is Dustin.
Nice little sage walk. And you
guys are already
familiar with Rodney here.
Welcome back, Rodney.
Sweetheart.
God d it. What are you
doing back here so soon?
It's okay. I'll be alright.
Okay. Okay, Tanya.
Go have a seat, honey.
You. You!
Hey, what is this? Can
you control your people?
This is my new next husband.
Tonya, that is the
last thing you need.
You need to focus
on your own recovery.
- Just focus...
- Oh, I will. I will once Nanny Lou
brings me from this prison.
I will.
Y-You can leave.
Heather, you haven't opened your
face hole this entire time and now
you're just like,
"Ughaaah, ughaaah." Look for my shit.
- Okay, okay. That's enough.
- Yeah
That is enough, Tanya.
That is enough, okay?
She is always enough.
Ya know what? Everybody in
here can kiss my
left a.
So f you. F you. F you. Not
you. Not you. Not you.
Okay, okay. Okay. Just breathe.
That's good. That's good.
Session's about to start so just
everybody just breathe.
Oh, Marianne. Oh great!
Great. This is our
new, our newbie here.
This is Dustin and you know Rodney.
Hello, fellas!
Thank you for joining us.
We already met this morning with the
others so quick check in.
How are you two feeling?
Like shit.
Oh, just give it some time and in a
few days you will
get your balance again.
Dustin, right?
Yeah, that's right.
I am Marianne Patterson.
I work as the counselor here at the
Sage and also with several rehab
facilities in the area.
I am so glad that you and Rodney are
in Room 6 together.
I think that you guys could be good
support for each other.
Why? Because there are only two men
in southeast Michigan who are sober.
I don't think that that's the case.
But I do think that if
you want to stay clean,
that it is nice to have someone else
who has been in it who can support
you through the process.
Well, stayin' high is
the only way I stay alive.
That is faulty thinking, Rodney.
- God, Marianne
You can sit here all day and draw a
godd paycheck telling everyone
how to stay sober.
But for the rest of us, you see
there, stay high and end up here, or...
end up on the streets and disappear
like everybody else.
You have all the motivation.
You have a kid.
God, f that, all right?
Everyone keeps telling me what a
sorry ass dad I am.
I do everything in
the world for Kylie.
I do the same
thing for my son, Nick.
So just f all of
you. I'm out of here.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Tonya
All right, okay, all right.
Please.
All right, all right. I'll stay for you.
It's gonna be okay, all right.
Okay, okay-right, sit down.
Right there.
Okay, I'm gonna stay.
I'm here.
All right.
Sorry about the kids, Dustin.
So why don't you share a little bit?
I stopped taking my regular meds,
and I found some
illegal stuff to help more.
I can see how that might happen.
It wasn't working for me.
It might have been the dosage.
Yeah, I don't know.
And whatever this is, this isn't
working for me either.
Dustin...
I am here to help you.
I get it. I've been there.
The person you see in front of you
is not who I was ten years ago.
I understand.
And listen.
I do care.
- NO!
- Rodney, take the shot NOW!
Sam, please, no.
It will help. I promise.
She's got you by the balls, Sam. She
doesn't give a f about anybody.
Please just take the shot.
No!
I don't want to have to keep your
hands in your feet down
any longer than necessary.
But you're a danger to yourself.
And to the rest of us...
Leave me alone!
God!
Get him, Levi! Hold
him! Hold him down, Levi!
Get him! Give him the shot.
Give him the shot! YESSSS!!!
Good. Good job.
Don't forget who owes you Rodney.
- Dustin...
- What is this?
This-This is the program, man.
What are you doing in here? You
can't be in here, Dustin.
Come on. You gotta get out. No. Out
of here. Go to your
own room. Get out.
Sam. Please.
You can't be in here. What the?
Dustin? Dustin!
Oh my God. No, no, no. Lou, I told
her she wasn't allowed back here.
She just rushed past me.
What have you done to him?
I'm helping him. Oh, Dustin,
- you poor baby.
- Don't touch his face!
Poor baby. Look, he needs us. That's
what we're here for.
Gladys, quickly. Get back up front.
Do not let anyone else back here.
Levi, I really appreciate your help
getting him in here
You sure let me knock
him out with my fists.
Save your drugs.
You need to calm down.
We can't keep giving him such a high
dose. It's dangerous.
Stay here. Make sure he doesn't
seize or throw up.
There's always something. I'd better
go deal with Cindy now to make sure
she doesn't become a problem.
Is he okay? When
can I bring him home?
He's far from okay, Cindy.
You and I both know that.
Dustin is sick. He needs to stay
here for a while
so he can get clean.
We can't afford to pay for him to
stay here. Besides, I
already know what he needs.
This is all from
his PTSD from Aleppo.
And I've taken all kinds of college
courses and online
classes just so I can help him.
I'm certain you love
your brother, Cindy.
But he's sick like the rest of my
patients in here.
The state will pay
for his rehabilitation.
I've already got Miss Gladys
filling out the paperwork.
I don't think he's
going to want to stay here.
Well, he does not have a choice.
It's either here or in jail.
The law caught Dustin with a lot of
drugs in his car.
So it's either here, jail, or in
some cases, these addicts just...
disappear and are never seen again.
Well, look, I need his
help at my shop in town.
It's very difficult for me to get
anybody to work these days,
especially for anything
less than 20 bucks an hour.
You surprised me, Cindy.
I thought you were just a loving,
sweet sister who wanted to
take care of her brother.
You have no idea what it's like.
I want him at the shop so
I can keep my eye on him.
Because when he's out of
my sight, I lose my mind.
It's just not fair.
Fair? There's no such thing as fair.
Believe me, I've seen it all.
I lost somebody close
to me because of drugs.
How long does he have to stay here?
The state of Michigan will pay for
30 days, and I can always reapply if
he's still not clean.
Can I visit him whenever I want?
We'll see how he's progressing.
You can't keep me from seeing him.
Jail is just one phone call away.
Please.
You know what? I'll make you a deal.
And just know I
don't really offer deals.
I will let Dustin come and help you
out for a few hours
a day at your shop.
Really?
Yes.
As long as you let some of my other
patients come and
look at your store too.
As long as I get to see Dustin...
I could definitely use the extra help.
But I can't pay them anything.
Don't worry. This
state will pay. Yeah.
They'll give me the money for their
rehab to jobs program.
It's a win-win
situation for all of us then.
Maybe.
Oh. I'm glad we have a deal.
Oh. Just one more thing.
Nobody else needs to know this.
Except for you and me. Right?
As long as I get to see Dustin.
You will.
Nanny Lou, please don't be mad at me
when I ask you this question, okay,
but do you think it's a good idea to
let him and others
just leave here without...
without their permission?
I mean...
I don't know. I mean, she's...
she onto us.
I could feel it.
Don't worry.
No one figures this out, Levi.
Nope.
I'm always two steps ahead of them.
Good morning.
Good morning, everyone.
Hey. Hi, guys. Good
morning. How you guys doing?
God. Take a look at me and I'll tell
you how we're doing.
We all know it's a process.
I'm just trying to make it better.
You don't have to be so grumpy all
the time, Rodney.
How about you?
How are you doing, Dustin?
Headache.
Well, it'll be okay.
Nanny Lou's gonna
make everything better.
God, it is too
f early for her.
Watch your mouth.
You know, I'm really surprised
you're still acting this way.
After everything she's done for you.
What a joke.
That crazy woman's done
a number on this town.
Wow. Really?
Yeah.
Hey.
Aren't you one of
Nanny Lou's outside kids?
Mhm?
Well, don't cross her.
She's worse on her inside kids.
Good morning, people.
Ready to start our meeting circle?
Hmm.
Okay.
Okay, so let's get started.
Who's gonna go first?
Dustin?
Nah, I don't feel like it.
Just try.
You may never feel like it.
I know this is hard, but
I'm here to support you.
We all are.
Dustin, your sister and I talked,
and you... You can't
continue to self-medicate
to mask the pain of
what happened over there.
Maybe I can. Maybe I can't.
That's your try? So that's it?
Marianne, Junior here,
he's a man of few words.
He doesn't say much.
Rodney, I'm glad that you are
thinking of someone
other than yourself.
But he needs to...
D.
I'm here.
Uh, she's high.
Heather, what are you on?
Drugs.
Where did you get it?
Shh. It's a secret.
Come on, Heather.
We checked everything when you
arrived. Where did you get it?
Well, you see, you
didn't check my c.
You're so trashy.
I think we all know
where she got them.
Rodney, what do you mean by that?
You don't look so good, Rodney.
What the hell are you doing in here,
listening in to our meetings?
No. I'm just getting a...
Another fun activity
for you and my other kids.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Thirty days is almost up for
Heather, but I see you fed her real
good to try to keep her
here today, didn't you?
And where's June, huh?
She's been cleared to leave in a
week, but now she's gone.
June managed to slip away. I have
alerted the authorities.
Sadly, there's been no sign of her
yet, but I'm sure she'll turn up.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Everything okay?
You two. You two getting along?
Of course. Rodney's interested in me
teaching him how to crochet.
Oh, that's great. That's great.
Well, learn fast.
Crochet me a sweater
before it gets any colder.
Watch your back.
Heather, don't worry. If you make a
mistake, you can just take your
needle out and undo it and then
start again. See?
Perfect. Atta girl.
Well, hello, boys. You slept late
and missed breakfast, but I bent the
rules and let you sleep a little
longer so you can get some rest
because I love you.
So anyway, here's the needles in the
yard right in this basket here.
Walt, get up...
I want the sexy one right there to
come sit by me
since Jack isn't here.
Tonya, I think you should just keep
focusing on your crochet.
I know that I'm batshit crazy, but
Ummm, I'm-I'm kind and I'm a good lover and
I'm also really talented.
OWAH NANNY LOU!
COME ONNN
I need justa little...
OHHHH! YOU KNOW,
I love you, love you, love you
Oh, Tanya. Go, Tanya. That's great.
- Woo, Go Tonya
Just save it for
the dinner show, okay?
Come on, why don't you two join us?
Crochet really helps reduce stress.
Where's Jack?
Jack is in isolation.
He fell ill last night. I think he
got into something
he shouldn't have.
I thought nobody could
get anything in here.
Unfortunately, sometimes they do.
I mean, I'm good, but I can't stop you
all from acting out
on your bad habits.
Now please, grab
your yarn and a needle.
You don't want to upset Nanny Lou.
You're one crazy woman.
It's perfectly fine
if you're mad at me.
Don't get over it in no time.
Hey, you need to bite your tongue.
Show some humility.
You say you know the program yet you
keep falling into it.
Maybe we can help each other.
How's a kid like
you going to help me?
Huh?
Because I know what it's like to be
out of control and reactive.
Angry.
You had a son, right?
Don't you ever f mention my son
again, do you hear me?
You have no goddamn
idea what it's like to...
You're right. I don't know.
What happened?
I'm not here to judge you, Rod.
It's-Umm...
It was an accident, you know?
I got high, as always, and...
I forgot to pick him up at school.
He just-he decided to walk and...
Some asshole hit him.
I mean, I just left him on the side
of the road, you know?
That's some heavy s, man.
Oh, god.
D it.
D, I just want to get out of this
godd place and get high.
S, I don't know when I get out.
Keep your voice down.
She can't hear things
- from across the room.
- You love your Nanny
Lou, don't you?
Thank you, Jacob.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Levi, clean the
rest of these things.
I've got stuff to do.
Dustin.
Cindy.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
This is Rodney.
We've been sharing a room.
Nice to meet you, Rodney.
Oh, yeah. You too.
We're gonna try to help each other.
That's wonderful, Dustin.
I really hope you do.
When are you gonna get me out of here?
Dustin, I can't.
Nanny Lou said that you have to stay
here for a month.
Or you're gonna go to jail for the
drugs that they found him.
Her drugs.
What?
What it means is she likes to keep
us in here to make sure
we're on the right drugs.
Cindy, take me home.
Dustin, look.
I wish I could, but...
Nanny Lou did say that you can work
at the shop with me a few days a
week for a few hours.
But you're gonna have to be here in
the evening and you're
gonna have to stay the night.
Really?
Yeah. Really.
Rodney here, he can come along too.
We have enough work for that.
I mean, I guess. It's been getting
busier with the permaculture farming
happening in Flint, Detroit now.
We're sure it was
something we can figure out.
Thanks, sis. I think Rodney and I
can do better if we have each other.
You know, it...
It may make it easier
for me to stay clean.
Dustin, I need you to stay sober.
Like, I really,
really need you to try.
Yeah, I'm not sure Nanny Lou's gonna
let me get out to go to work though.
Well, we can ask. Can we, Cindy?
Maybe we can try.
Here we go.
The Dark State is gonna kill us all.
Okay, well, that's good to know.
Beware of the leadership here.
They're all reptiles in league with
the Dark State,
killing us with drugs.
- Really?
- I think we're
doing that to ourselves.
No. They forced the drugs on us so
that they can control our minds.
Come on, Paul. Let's go.
That's Dr. Paul.
Doctor, come with me. I got a very
crucial case to look at.
Okay. They can take away my license,
my patience, even my livelihood.
But I earned that damn degree. You
call me "Doctor."
What the fuck was that all about?
That is really sad.
Yah, that's crazy.
Kylie.
- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, sweetheart.
So good to see you.
You too.
Oh, my gosh.
This is your daughter?
Oh, yeah. Kylie, this is my
roommate, Dustin.
Dustin, this is Kylie.
Hi.
- Hi
Well, since Rodney's being rude and
not introducing me,
I'll do it myself.
I'm Rhonda, Rodney's wife.
We've been separated
a few years, though.
Well, it's nice to meet
you, Rhonda. I'm Cindy.
Dustin.
We've been taking care
of your goats and donkey.
Really? I appreciate that.
It's costing me a lot
of money for the food.
I know. I'm gonna pay you, Rhonda.
I'll believe that when I see it.
Please don't start.
You don't want to start with
anything that doesn't get you high.
That's the problem, Rodney.
It's what lands you
here again and again.
It leaves me taking care of a
daughter without her father.
Do you know how much
stress that I'm under?
I give everything I have every ounce
of myself to our daughter.
You know good d well I'd do
anything for Kylie.
Anything except stay clean, Rodney.
Anything except picking up our son
after school like
you're supposed to.
No.
There's nothing I can do
to bring Nick back.
But I'm in here because I'm trying
to be a better man.
Try harder, Rodney.
I'll let you poke me.
- Now I go again?
- That's what she said
- Oh, you did.
- I did.
Uh-oh.
Hot d.
Tonya, you didn't win.
No, no, no.
Jack beats the queen.
No, queen beats.
No, you didn't win. You lost.
The pop. The pop is fried my brain.
Speaking of Jack, I miss Jack.
He would have loved this.
Yeah.
I showed him my t literally every
day and he didn't say goodbye.
It's a little tasteless... if you ask me...
Rodney, can I talk to you?
I'll be back.
Guess the game is on hold.
It's your world. We're just a
squirrel trying to
get a nut, Rodney.
What did, what did Rhonda tell you?
Oh, it's all good. I actually have a
surprise for you.
Cindy was telling me that Dustin
really wants you to work
with them at their store.
I think it's a good idea.
What's the catch?
Why do you always the worst of me?
Why shouldn't I?
I believe you and I can find more
things to agree on.
Besides, I need to get you
out of my hair for a bit.
What does that mean?
Rodney, get your sweet ass back over
here and come finish this game.
TONYA!
Calm down, sweetheart. He'll be over
there in a second.
You have been spreading rumors about
how I run this facility.
So I thought if I did you a nice
favor like this, you
would keep your mouth shut.
Oh, yeah. I knew
there was something.
You and I always
help each other out.
But you tried screwing me over.
I don't think me trying to get out
of this place and stay out is
screwing you over.
Stealing my specials
when I let you out was.
Not to mention bringing attention to
this place with your loose lips.
So what? You want me
to keep my mouth shut?
Yeah, and one other thing.
Oh God, here we go.
I want you to find me more
customers for my specials.
I'm sure some of Cindy's clientele
would be very interested.
Nope, I'm not going to involve
Dustin and Cindy in this.
Yeah, I figured you'd say that. So,
um, to sweeten the deal,
I'll let you take some specials
while you're in here.
I'm hiding them right here in this
Christmas tree just for you.
Why are you so evil?
You know why.
There's no changing me.
Hey, Rodney.
I'm watching you, yeah?
Hey, look at me.
Don't you even think about
pulling any s with me?
Stay where I can see you.
Hey, you've been
real quiet all morning.
It's going to be fine. Don't worry.
I haven't had a real
job in eight years.
Besides, I worry about the others
when I'm not there.
Especially Tonya.
Look, we're going to take it one
step at a time and trust me,
Cindy will make sure
we don't fall off track.
We've got to let Tonya and the
others go take care of yourself first.
- Alright, alright
Dustin, Rodney!
What the fuck?
Tanya, if Nanny Lou
sees you, you're in for it.
Go back to your room. No, go back.
Please, listen to me.
No! No!
Get rid of her.
-You bitch, no
-Come here, come here
You're okay. You're okay.
Rodney!
I've had enough of you.
Are you okay?
Oh, well, hello there, boys.
Glad to see you this morning.
Sis', morning.
Hi.
Dustin, can you do me a favor?
Can you go on the back and work on
my online orders and
get them ready to ship?
Boss is in.
Thank you.
Rodney, I'll be right
there for you, okay?
Yeah.
So, I'm not sure how much Dustin has
told you about the business, but we
sell a lot of handmade
and local produce, okay?
Here we have tons of
apples, 11 different kinds.
We are in apple season.
Peaches there, we have the plums.
We have these apple
cider and the mild salsa.
I highly recommend you try that as
everybody raves, all right?
We have these shirts. They're a hot
seller. Keep them stocked.
There is the candy apples and the
sugar-coated almonds.
It's a lot of stuff in here.
Yeah, look, Rodney, I'm not
expecting you to
remember all this, okay?
With Dustin, it's a million times
over, and with him, the drugs, it's
my daddy, the alcohol.
I appreciate you giving me this
chance. I'm going to
do a good job for you.
Thanks, Rodney. I appreciate that.
So, over here, we have these bears.
They're a hot seller.
What happens? We get
them flat, okay? They ship flat.
And we have to stuff them.
But what's really cool is people
will get a trinket, and they'll kiss
it to give it a wish on it,
and shove it in the
bear, and we close it up.
They sell for $5.95.
Wow, I could get one
for Kylie for Christmas.
She's still a kid to me, you know.
Yeah, hopefully she stays that way.
Yeah, I hope she's not
a hard-ass like her mom.
Please, we're all in
this together. All right.
Dustin! Dustin! Oh my God!
Hey!
Dustin!
S!
What's wrong with him?
Does he, a epilepsy?
No, It's from Aleppo.
Fucking Nanny Lou.
All right.
All right, let's go, kids.
All righty.
Let's go, man. I ain't got all day.
It's a game at five.
Let's go. You alright?
So, hey, man, why can't that asshole
partner Levi of
yours be more like you?
Ahh, Not my partner, but I think he's got
a little bit too much
of Nanny Lou in him.
Tell him to have fun shoveling all
that pig shit for her
back at the cookery.
I'm not going to tell him any of
that shit or about any other shit.
He already doesn't like you guys,
especially not you.
But hey, have a good one.
Hey, Rodney.
Hey, man. Where is everybody?
D, if I know. They need to bring
their a on, man.
They wasting my d time.
You coming in hot, Walt.
You all right?
Man, my month is almost up. I need
to get out of here and
see how my girl is doing.
I like how you fight to stay clean
for her, but you got
the worst taste in women.
Yeah. True that. And don't leave
that crazy mother of mine off that
list of people who kept me going
down the wrong path.
Rodney. Come here.
I'm worried about Tonya.
What's she done this time?
She's looking for you this morning.
Running down the
hallway yelling your name.
What?
I know, look, I
asked Sam where Tanya was.
Man, we both know she ain't getting
out here for testing
clean like he claims.
Man, she worse than
all of us combined.
You saw her at that last
meeting. She was a mess.
Well, look at you guys. All ready to
get started. Walt and Rodney.
My time is valuable, Marinne.
I'll take note of that, Walt, but I
think we should just wait a few
minutes for Heather.
- Walt, can I
speak with you for a minute?
Walt, don't take anything...
I'm talking to Walt, not you.
Well, Rodney, what
did you want to say?
Umm... I was just going to say, don't take
too long. We want to get started.
We're still waiting on Heather and
Tonya's been released, so if we have
to start without
them, we can do that.
Please, don't worry about Walt.
I know what's best for him, don't I?
And I just want to let you all know
Heather is being tended
to right now by Dr. Sam.
Come on along now, Walt.
Come here. I've got something to
show you. It's a surprise. Come on,
Nanny Lou, come on. That's my boy.
It's good to get out of
that place for a while.
Yeah, I'm not sure how long this is
going to last, though.
Nanny Lou is up to something.
Like what?
See how she keeps wanting us to get
out of the facility?
Did she hide in something?
Mm-hmm. People keep getting out
before they should, and I haven't
been able to talk to Tonya in a...
well, one minute...
I don't remember much, but I never
forgot her mother's phone number.
Hey, Myrtle, it's Rodney.
Have you seen Tonya?
Myrtle, dont-don't hang up.
I haven't seen Tanya.
Come on, Myrtle, no, ugh.
Hello. Can I help you with anything?
Nah, I just need to look around.
Well, we do have some sales on the
jewelry up here if
you want to take a look.
Yeah, I'm good.
Hey, man.
How are you doing?
Why don't you get your girlfriend
one of these teddy
bears? It's only $5.95.
Yeah? Take a look at that.
Pretty good. Let me
just get that put in.
And stuff it up for you.
That should be good.
- Appreciate it.
- Merry Christmas.
You too.
Is that going to be it for you?
Yeah.
All right, well, it's
$5.95, taxes included.
Cool. Keep the change.
Thank you.
Hey, Rod.
Huh?
Did you make a sale?
Yeah.
Is this your first sale?
Yes.
And no big loudmouth celebration?
Well, great job, Rodney.
I heard my dad was
getting to work here some.
Hey, Kylie.
Mom, can I come here after school
and just wait here
until you get off of work?
I mean, I could help out.
That's a good idea sweetie
We can try having you come here and
see how it works out.
Great. Thank you, Rhonda.
Oh, hey, look.
I want to get you one of these
teddy bears for Christmas.
Cindy can take it out of my pay.
No, you don't need to buy me one.
I saw Mike Connor leaving here with
one right before I came in.
He wants to be my boyfriend.
Oh, he is not going
to be your boyfriend.
He could be.
Stay the hell away from him, Kylie.
Stop! That hurts.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- What the hell are you doing?
I'm sorry.
You show that kind of behavior again
and you will never see her again.
Okay, Rhonda. Kylie, I'm sor...
Come on, Kylie...
Cindy and I will keep
an eye out. I promise.
You d well better.
Look, Rhonda, he
really is getting better.
You know, for your sake, I hope he
stays on that path.
I would not want to see another
woman go through what
he's put me through.
Come on, Kylie.
$6.99.
Well, hello, boys.
How was your day?
Busy.
Busy's good. Keeps
the trouble at bay.
Rodney?
What?
Your day? I trust it went well?
Whatever.
Dustin, why don't you give me a
minute with Rodney?
Seems he's got
something on his mind.
I can handle her. I got it.
Don't you go getting paranoid like
Rodney now, Dustin.
Go on now. Scoot.
Here.
This is what you've
been waiting for, right?
You did good, Rodney.
You're a lot more
like me than you think.
Screw that.
I hope you didn't say anything
disparagingly about me to Cindy.
I would hate for you to tarnish the
reputation of our great facility.
Great facility, yeah. Look, I
know you're up to something.
You're doing more than just drugs here.
Where the hell is Tonya?
Tanya's fine.
Really?
'cause I called her mother
and she's not there.
The last place she'd
be is at her mother's.
And you know I can't say anything.
I strictly abide by all HIPAA rules.
Don't give me that bulls
Where's Tanya?
She's in a special place doing well.
People here deserve so much better
Better than me?
These people are
barely people at all.
When I started this place, all I
wanted to do was to
help these addicts.
Now the only thing I can do is hope
that, God, they
don't hurt anybody else.
You really need to let go
of the past, little Louise.
One addict doesn't represent all addicts.
An addict killed my father.
An addict will kill anybody for a hit.
You're pathetic
Hello! I'm here.
Hey, why aren't you
back there helping Dustin?
I wanted to spend time
up here with you, Dad.
No, no, I think you
should go help Dustin.
You don't ever care
what I want to do.
You only ever cared about Nick.
Hey, Kylie, do you mind helping me
in the back real fast?
Kylie, go.
Oh, God.
If there's something else that she
can do, that's fine.
I don't mind her
helping me with that.
No, no, she just can't keep seeing
the whole world revolves around her.
I mean, she knows
I love her as much as I did
Nick, that's just her, that's her
damn mom talking.
I'm sorry, Rodney.
I can imagine it sucks being dad.
Yeah, you could have that right.
Hello.
Thanks for sharing that, Walt.
I know that Sage is not as upscale
to some addiction places,
but it's smaller and
it's more individualized.
I know it's smaller. I'm just pissed
I ain't got a better room.
Damn, Walt.
Ever since Jack left, you've got
your own room and it's
the biggest one here.
Rodney, why do you even care who's
paying for Walt's room?
It's none your business...
Well, if anyone's
ever complaining about rooms
it should be me and Dustin.
Now Heather has her own room.
That-That's only because Tonya left.
Okay, let's settle down. Listen.
You guys all have shelter and you
have food and you have
a program that works.
- That's all you need.
- Yeah
You know, I bet you Tonya got kicked out
because she was f Walt too much.
Stay on my business, b!
Oh, oh!
Dustin, come on. Let go.
It's Walt! Dustin! Let go!
Get the f off me!
Dustin, you are safe.
What the f, Dustin?
You are safe. You are
at Sage. You're safe.
Am I? Are we?
Yeah.
Come on.
God, man. I'm sorry. You all right?
Fuck! Heather! Oh shit! Heather!
Fuck! What's going
on? Help me out here.
Help me get on the floor.
Walt! Go get Sam!
- Oh, God! Oh, watch your head.
Oh, God. Heather,
I'm here with you.
You're going to be all right.
You're going to be all right.
Rodney's right here.
Doctor's coming.
Oh, you're okay. It's Rodney. It's Rodney
I'm right here. I'm right here.
- Where's Sam? God.
- Sam!
Come on. Heather, I'm right here.
It's Rodney. You're going to be
okay, sweetheart.
You're going to be okay. I got you.
Oh God, Get Sam, somebody.
Sam!
I got you. I got you.
What'd you do to her?
What happened? What happened?
Sam, sit down.
Be quiet.
Her pulse is faint.
Her blood pressure is dropping.
Walt, Rodney, get her to the
treatment room, quick.
Help me up. Come on, sweetheart.
We got you. We got you.
Sam, I need you to sit up.
Sam, I'll deal with you later.
Come on. Let me help you up.
Get up.
What is it? Do you...
Let me go get you some water.
Oh, I am so sorry to keep you waiting.
Is Heather okay?
The addiction has destroyed her.
And how about Sam?
He was out of it too.
Do you think that...
Do you think he gave
Heather the wrong meds?
No. No.
I'm going to be honest with you.
Sam is a recovering addict.
He has stolen drugs from hospitals
and clinics and
doctor's offices and...
He lost his license.
That's why I let him live here, you
know, so I can keep an eye on him.
It helps him to stay clean.
And I don't know, I guess I just let
my keen Hawkeyes off of
him for a tad too long.
Does this happen a lot? I mean,
that's dangerous for you and others.
That's nice of you to be concerned,
Marianne, but honestly, no need to
be, because I'm here twenty-four/seven.
Well, there's probably
too much stress on you.
If you're hinting about me yelling
at everyone before
you go writing me up,
I want you to think about everything
I do for these people.
These are the hard cases. I'm the
only one who can help them.
I have no plans to write you up,
Nanny Lou. I understand hard cases.
I work with them too.
Sometimes you have to
throw the rules out.
Good...
I'm so glad we are on the same page.
I'd hate to have to write you up for
breaking the rules.
What rules have I broken?
I'm sure there are plenty. I just
have to review all the
tapes of your meetings.
Well, that's illegal.
And are you threatening me?
No, I don't threaten anybody. I tell
people to watch their backs.
Have a safe drive home, Marianne.
You know, my kids are very fond of
you, and I would hate for
you not to be here anymore.
I'll see you soon.
Rodney. How many times
have you been in here?
That's a loaded question.
How many times?
I'd say eight or nine,
give or take, five or six.
So this shit doesn't really work.
Some places do, but not here. Nanny
Lou's lost all sight
of how to help people.
So we can't trust her?
Fuck no. She's turning into a crazy
bitch. This place is scary as hell.
I do find it weird that nobody heard
from Jack or Tonya before they left.
Me too.
Who's getting out of here next?
I think it's W-it's Walt.
Look, I'm gonna figure out what's
really going on here, because
something in my gut tells me we're
not getting the whole story.
Alright, look, I know you want to be
a hero and s, but if Nanny Lou
finds out you're watching her, she's
gonna keep your ass drugged and
you're never gonna get out of here.
Look, old man, I know you have
experience in here, but I got
experience in the real world. I've
seen s that makes
this look like a joke.
Alright, look, Junior, this isn't
f combat, okay? So you need to
calm your a down for all our sake.
Big day. Everybody
feeling good? Feel good?
It looks like me and
you most of the time.
Sack of s.
Hey, how about it?
What's going on here?
Good morning! Good
morning, everyone!
I just came to make sure everybody's
ready for their Saturday visitors.
Gladys, look, can we just cut all
this formal bulls? I really just
want to see my kid.
Rodney, you better be glad Nanny Lou
didn't hear you say that. Or you
might not even be able
to see your daughter.
I don't know how she puts up with
him. I don't! I don't.
Hey, where is Nanny Lou?
She's probably in one of the private
rooms watching over us.
Private rooms?
Yeah.
- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, sweetheart.
Hi, Dustin.
Hey, how are you?
Give me a hug.
Whoa! Good to see you.
Hey, Rhonda.
Hey.
Whoa, what's wrong with you?
Mom's being pissy.
She's mad because I wouldn't let her
go to the lake this morning with a
bunch of older boys.
There were girls going, too.
I don't care who's going. He wants.
Kylie, listen to your
mom. She's always right.
Don't be a smarta, Rodney.
No, no. I wasn't, Rhonda. I mean,
it's true. Your mom, she is right.
Oh, God. Before I forget, I wanted
to give you this money.
No, you don't. That money's for me.
Look, it is, but I give it to your
mom. She handles it. She helps in
respect, alright?
Thank you.
Heather!
Heather! Come on, sweetheart. It's
Rodney. I'm right here. Come on.
Help! Somebody do something!
Heather.
What happened? Huh?
I don't know. Check her pulse, Sam.
Does she fall?
Does she fall?
I don't know. Do something.
Oh, God. Come on,
Heather. Heather, come on.
Stay with us.
What's all the commotion?
You know, you two
are the problem here.
Oh, yeah. We're the problem.
Let Dr. Sam take care of her.
Heather! Heather, are you...
Stop. Let Dr. Sam...
Levi, what the heck are you doing?
Kylie, get over here.
- It's fine. He's not bothering me.
- Hey! Keep the f away from her!
You missed lunch.
I'll get you dinner.
I don't want anything.
Heather's gonna be okay. They
managed to get her
stable. Kylie, too.
Rhonda got her out of there fast.
They should all be protected, but
I'll kill anyone that hurts Kylie,
man. She's all I got left.
And I get that. More than you know.
And so does Kylie. So does Rhonda.
Sam said that Heather's heart's
probably weakened from all the
alcohol and drugs.
That's such bulls.
We all know Nanny Lou's specials
were what hurt Heather.
Look, it's the same old routine. Sam
keeps everyone clean
until it's time to leave.
Then he gets us back on the
specials, and then we disappear.
God damn it. How is she
able to get away with this?
It's money. Money's her judge, her
jury, her law. She needs people in
here to keep making money.
We can't stay here.
She thinks she knows everything,
too. I'm gonna show
that b this time.
And she works with the team. So
should we. I'll help
you come up with the plan.
Look, man, I'm gonna do this on my
own, all right? I'm gonna make sure
she doesn't hurt you, though.
What the hell are you gonna do, you
old prick? You need me.
Junior, I got this. Trust me. Sit
back. Chill the f out.
What the hell is that?
Is everything prepared?
Yes, Ma'am
This is the last one,
the last one, I swear.
Look at me, look at me.
You'll keep doing this as long as
she tells you to do it.
No, I'm not.
You're sick f, man.
You're just as sick as we are.
Yes, but I know it.
You don't, you idiot.
Hell out of here.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Joe.
Heather.
Why are they listed as
active and in-patient?
Levi, you are a fool.
You are getting too
eager and too careless.
Next time, pay attention to what is
going on around you and
shut the damn door.
Look what you made happen.
GRRRRRR!!
Don't f move, Rodney.
The f do you want?
I have a present for you.
Please, Nanny Lou.
Come on, just take
some of these for me.
No, no, no, no.
Swallow these!
Why would you waste
specials when you could just shoot me up?
Because I need you semi awake.
Why semi awake and drugged?
I'm doing something very nice for
you out of the goodness of my heart.
See, I have some bad news to tell
you and I figured my specials would
make it a lot more tolerable.
What terrible news?
Well, it seems your good friend
Dustin, he got a little too curious
about me and my facility last night.
Oh, yeah.
And he went and he found my office
in my supply room
and he robbed me blind.
Oh, no. Not only did he rob me
blind, he left the facility and he
took Heather with him.
And I'm so worried about her safety.
Dustin's a good guy. He wouldn't do
anything like that.
You know, I'm afraid he's just not
the man you thought he was.
Did you call Jacob to go find him?
No, no, I can't do that.
Why not?
Having everyone find out that one of
my patients who I'm responsible for
healing and
releasing back into society,
left the facility and
escaped with another patient.
Oh, my God, that would just ruin me.
Why are you drugging me?
Because... I need you to be you.
Addicted and high.
I can't have you
running off now, can't I?
No, I need you to stay calm.
Levi, can you imagine if Rodney
would have woken up and
just found Dustin gone?
Oh, that would have been a disaster.
Shhhhh...
I need you to stay very
quiet about all of this.
Remember, Levi and I know exactly
where Rhonda and Kylie live.
Don't we, Levi?
Yes, we do.
I can't let him get
them, Rhonda or Kylie.
I gotta protect them.
Oh, man, Heather.
What the f?
Heather, what the f?
Where are you?
Heather, where the f are you?
What the f?
Hey, Rodney, you seen my teeth?
Take his soul on up to
heaven, now thank you Lord.
I told you, but you
wouldn't listen to me.
It's a cutthroat world out there,
Rodney. Come here, let me
give you a great big hug.
They're all reptiles here. In this
place, it's not a
rehab, it's a sewer.
We're the rats trapped here by
drugs, but the rats don't rule here.
This place has alligators.
God, somebody help me.
Are you a reptile?
The others are.
They're gonna kill us all. Eat our
hearts and our brains.
And beware false prophets.
They lose their tongues.
God, get away from me, freak.
I know you asked.
You're one of them.
Rod, what the hell are you doing?
What the f's going on, man?
Look at that mess! Oh my
God, what are you doing?
I need to go get them man.
I gotta find Dustin and Heather.
Please help me, man.
Well, there's nothing you can do.
Give me the narcan.
Yeah, I can do that. There you go.
I'm not the doctor
anymore. I'm free.
I'm free as f.
You know, that woman,
she's killing for a living.
She really is. She's killing people.
But I'm a doctor. How am I supposed
to fit in with that p...
Rest in peace, Sam.
Shh! Sh-sh-sh-sh... Now you're free.
Dustin, come on.
Oh, God.
I'm coming, Dustin.
Oh, God.
Ah!
What the f?
D it!
Jack!
Oh, man.
This looks weird.
No...
Tonya...
Tonya, where the f are you?
Tonya, oh God.
Ah!!!
Oh, f.
Ah!
God d it!
TONYA!
No!!!
God d it!
God.
Rod...
Dus-Dustin?
Rod...
That you, man?
I'm coming for you.
God.
We gotta get out of this f place
Oh, shit.
Dustin.
Man, I told you to
be careful of her.
Rod, save yourself.
Oh, shut the f up.
Come on.
Oh, honey.
You'll never learn.
That Nanny Lou is always
here to take care of you.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Oh, God d it!
Crazy b.
Rodney.
She's gonna kill us.
Rodney, I mean, I thought
we had an understanding.
You would keep your junky nose
out of my business.
I keep selling my specials.
And I, is gonna keep
you as high as ever.
I don't want any more of
your Godd specials.
All you do is ruin people's lives.
Well, I'll be darned.
I never thought I'd see the day that
Rodney Garrett was a white knight.
But you listen to me.
If you're not out there helping me
by luring in new druggies,
how am I supposed to rid this town
of all these disgusting pests?
All you do is feed them your
specials, and then you
put them back out in this.
That's not helping this town.
How can you be so naive?
These drug addicts and pillheads
around here, most of
them will never get clean.
They're useless to
society they are.
Just a waste of my tax dollars.
Oh, sure, the state sends me money
to rehabilitate them.
But when I realize I can't
help them anymore, just... poof... ahhhh
God, you're one crazy bitch.
Why do you get to decide
who lives or dies, huh?
Because that motherfucker got to
decide whether my
daddy lived or died.
So why shouldn't I
get to decide, huh?
I mean, why isn't that fair, huh?
Seems fair to me.
God, you're so evil.
So I'm evil?
When I started this place,
I just really wanted to help people.
I really knew that there was good
inside of them still.
Or so I thought. Then I
got smarter and older.
And the image of my father getting
getting murdered by one of your kind was
all that I could see every time I
looked at one of you.
I can't rehabilitate anyone.
So, I guess it's just best for
everyone if... I dispose of the ones
who are no longer any use to me.
Rodney, you are no longer any use to me.
She's making money off the dead
ones. I saw in the
in-patient forms.
That is my business! Do you hear me?
No, Nanny Lou, please! That was just
one bad addict who killed your
daddy. You, you could be our savior.
Sweetie, I am your savior.
No, Nanny Lou, I
gotta be alive for Kylie.
Dustin, come on, man. We gotta get out
of here. Come on. I
got you. Let's go.
Alright, come on, watch it.
Rodney, that was a big, big mistake.
Oh my God, no. No, Lou. What did you
do? Enough is enough!
You picked the wrong day to f
with me, Gladys!
No, no, no, no!
You picked the wrong day to f
with me. That's why I give you a
little taste of your own medicine.
Yeah, choke on that, Nanny Lou.
EAT IT!
Die, b.
Hey, Rod.
Huh?
You think they'll be opening up?
F. I think I'm gonna start smoking again
