What the Hell?
(Incoming text chimes)
Beth: Just leave the package on the doorstep.
Deliveryman: You Beth Monroe?
Beth: Yeah. Just leave it out there and Ill get it, thanks.
Gaston, you scared the shit out of me!
(Cat meows)
Deliveryman: Excuse me, miss?
Im sorry, I forgot to get your signature.
Are you o-k-k-k--
(Beth screams)
Professor Cahill: Ok, So that brings us to the
question, what is the role of nutrition in our society today?
Dont all answer me at once.
Student: Nutrition is important to human health.
Professor Cahill: Nutrition is important to human health,
...sure, but how do we define "health"?
Student: That's when your body functions correctly.
Professor Cahill: Okay, when your body functions correctly, okay...
Student: I think health has more to do with
how we fend off infection and diseases.
Professor Cahill: Yeah
Professor Cahill: Yeah, all of those answers are correct
...but they lack one essential ingredient.
Professor Cahill: Its important that, as medical
professionals, we have a definition of health
that is more
holistic.
Professor Cahill: Pop culture is obsessed with health and wellbeing
but seldom do they take the time to hone in on how the food makes us feel.
Beth: I'm sorry Professor, but, that doesnt make any sense.
I mean, if a patient is getting the right nutrients, then ultimately,
happy or not, wouldnt everything just
Professor Cahill: Wouldn't everything be just fine?
Professor Cahill: Yeah, the answer isnt as simple as
wed like, and even by thinking that way
...we neglect a vital part of our relationship with the patient.
Professor Cahill: As nurses, most of you will not only be
responsible for assessing deficiencies and administering nutrients,
but in some cases your knowledge of nutrition
will become essential to stem behavioral issues as well.
Beth: Like kids with ADHD or on the spectrum?
Professor Cahill: Exactly!
Doctors and medical professionals
are consistently reporting positive results
when we adjust the dietary intake
of patients with those disorders
Right, as the old adage goes...
I will get you to say this one of these days,
"You are what you eat.
(Students groaning)
Okay, that is all the time we have for today.
Professor Cahill: Do not forget to read chapter 13 in your book.
It is on gut flora and elimination diets.
Professor Cahill: Also, there is a quiz on Friday.
Professor Cahill: If you have any questions before then
you can reach me during my office hours.
Freshman girl: So, what's the deal with these Ro-RoRohee
David: Rohingya.
Freshman girl: Ohoh yeah.
David: And its a disenfranchised community in Burma.
David: Organizations like the U.N. have been aware
of the violence and human rights violations for--
I'm sorry, where was I?
Freshman girl: Human rights?
David: Right, umm, yeah, peopleve known about it
for years but no one seems to want to do anything about it.
Umm...
if you want to know more theres a ton of information on our website.
Freshman girl: Wow.
David: The web address is written at the bottom.
In the meantime, if you have any more questions
Chad can fill you in, okay?
David: Hey, I'll be back, okay?
Chad: Okay.
Chad: Yeah, so how can I help you?
Shit!
David: Whoa, sorry.
I didnt mean to scare you.
David: I just knew if you saw me, youd have gone the other way.
Beth: What the hell, David?
David: Just hear me outplease.
There's nothing to say.
I know, but at least let me explain.
Beth: Explain? Explain what?
You want me to feel sorry for you?
Oh, poor David too busy trying to save
everyone from all the assholes in the world.
The only problem is, HES the biggest one.
That's not fair.
Fair?...fair?
You know, I do feel sorry for you...
it must be lonely being such a fucking hypocrite.
David: Hey, wait...alright...
David: I deserve that.
I understand if you hate me.
What I did was inconsiderate,
and you know I would take it back if I could...
all I can say is that Im sorry from the bottom of my heart.
And I havent given up on us.
I cant.
Beth: I gotta go. I can't do this.
(Music plays)
Sara: Don't you dare open that book!
Were supposed to be meeting for lunch, not a study date.
Beth: I know, but Ive got a ton of
work to do. Im just trying to stay on top of it.
Sara: Let me stop you right there,
that's what a psycho would say.
Yeah, well it's what I like to do.
I still don't get you girl.
How can someone thats such a germaphobe
be okay with hanging out in some of the
most disease infested places on the planet?
We've had this discussion before
hospitals are sterile.
Umm, no.
And, even if they were
the patients sure as hell arent sterile.
I don't know how you're going to do it.
It's my calling.
Like a mission.
I don't like to see people suffer
and if I can do something about it, its worth a little discomfort.
And for the record, Im not a germaphobe.
Im just clean...
which is more than I can say for some people.
You want to throw shade?
Beth: Just saying
In the right conditions certain bacteria can
replicate an entire generation every 20 minutes.
That's like 6 million new bacteria in like 8 hours.
A little caution never hurt anyone.
How about this...
we go to the springs, relax, and do some
I told you, Im swamped.
I could barely even spare the time to meet up here today.
It's him, isn't it?
Who? David?
No.
I'm just
It's okay, you know.
You guys have been together for like, 2 years.
Nobody expects you to get over it over
Im fine.
Really, I...
...the jerk isn't even worth my time...
really.
I just got a lot to study for.
I've got this quiz on Friday and...
I'm fine...really.
Well, okay.
Sara: You know... I'm just here to help.
Beth: I know.
I appreciate it.
So, uh, you gonna start a fire?
Or are you going to polish all the shine off of that apple?
Germaphobe.
Gross.
Maybe I am a germaphobe.
(Phone rings)
Beth: Hi Mom.
Mom: Hi Honey, how's school?
Beth: You know, always something to study for.
Mom: Oh, am I disturbing you? I can call back later.
Beth: No, it's fine. I'm actually due for
a study break anyway. What's up?
Mom: Nothing in particular.
Your dad and I were just thinking about
you and wondering if you were getting along alright.
We worry, you know, with you living alone in that house.
Beth: I'm fine.
Im sure Ill find some new tenants soon,
the fall semester is about to start.
In the meantime, at least I have Gaston.
Mom: Your safety comes first and we dont
feel comfortable with you alone. Especially with
Mom...I'm fine.
Mom: Alright But, as your parents,
we're going to worry.
Especially when you miss your appointments.
Mom!
Mom: Okay, okay...look, I know you're an adult.
And I'm sure you can handle this but,
Dr. Harris just asked us to remind
you about your appointment tomorrow.
Beth: Are you keeping tabs on me?
Mom: No, of course not.
Mom: But, you know he's a family friend.
Beth: And...?
Mom: So he gave us a call when
he couldn't reach you.
Noted.
Mom: So, does that mean you're going to go?
If I have time.
I've got a lot of studying to do.
Mom: Beth
...Go to the appointment.
Fine...
I'll go.
Mom: You sure?
I said I would go. Now, I gotta go, okay?
Mom: Alright, but I--
Beth: Alright, alright love you. Bye Mom.
Family sucks.
No wonder you became a stray.
So, are you readjusting well?
I think so.
And, what about the nightmares?
I haven't had one in...maybe a couple of weeks.
So, would you say the prescription I gave you
has reduced your level of anxiety?
I don't know.
Sometimes.
What do you mean?
Beth: I meanwhen I take them it chills me out, but
But what?
But, when I did I didn't feel like myself.
Are you saying you stopped?
I ran out.
I get that.
Sometimes these medications can be a littletricky.
Ill adjust the dosage if youd like.
In the meantime, tell me about your relationships.
Do you spend much time with your friends nowadays?
Not really...
...I've been buried in the books.
Interesting choice of words.
Would you say that you're using your
schoolwork as an excuse to distance yourself?
You don't have to answer that.
However, the best way to break the
phobia that you have developed
Is to gradually introduce positive reinforcements.
So, what? Are you telling me to
party and get wasted?
Not so much.
Your parents would kill me.
But I am saying it would be good
to get out and be around people.
Be adventurous. Maybe go on a date.
Dr. Harris: Are you still seeing that guy?
Beth: No.
It's not like we were married or anything.
It's over.
Let's move on.
You know, Beth, it's not uncommon
to find difficulty maintaining intimate ties.
Think about it.
Someone broke into your home
and held you at gunpoint.
It's okay to be shaken up.
I'm not a victim, okay
stop treating me like one.
You may not want your whole life
to be defined by trauma.
But, isn't that what's still happening?
(echoes of a violent memory)
So, how do I get through this?
You know how this works.
I'm not here to give answers.
I only suggest strategies.
It is upon you whether to implement them.
Beth: Okay, so what are your strategies?
Invest in your relationships.
Spend some time with the people in your life.
Beth: Any other suggestions?
There's always the meds.
Feels like a rock and a hard place.
Beth, call it what you will.
But, believe me...
...the better you feel in your relationships
...the less you will succumb to feelings of paranoia.
Lauren: See that couple over there?
Sara: Yeah.
Don't make it obvious.
Look at her socks.
So what about her socks?
Anybody rocking socks like that
was either homeschooled in a cave
or theyve been watching way too much anime.
Probably both.
I have a pair of socks like that.
Well, I already know you weren't raised right.
Come on, really.
Anyway, you can tell...
she's a straight up freak.
From her socks?
Yup.
All that...from her socks?
Uh huh, it's called insight.
You just have to be born with it.
Sara: Dude stop
Beth: What are you guys doing?
Lauren: Feel that?
Sara: Really?
I'm blowing her mind.
Sara: Please.
Beth: Looks like I got here just in time.
Yes, please save me from this insanity.
So Beth, did you have a religious
experience or something?
Can't a girl just hang
out with her friends sometimes?
Yeah, of course.
But, we thought you were--
Beth: Look, I...
I...I know that I've been distant
these past few months.
I've just been trying to figure
out everything that happened.
And then my relationship with David fell apart...
We know...
We've always had your back.
Lauren: Yeah, us girls gotta stick together.
Sara: Always.
Speaking of which...
Sara...
Sara: mmhmm
... is that daycay offer still on the table?
Uhh...hell yeah, just say the word.
Lauren: Good Lord, now I know
this must be a miracle.
It's only been like, 3 months.
That's like 2 dog years.
I've missed you guys.
Lauren: Come on, bring it in.
(Cat moaning)
(Clock ticking)
(Creaking footsteps)
(Floor slip)
Gaston!
Are you protecting the house from intruders?
(Cat moans)
Okay, I get it.
You're punishing me for
leaving you home all day.
Okay, I get it.
I leave the house for 8 hours and
you give me 6 million little reasons...
...to never have friends.
(Alarm clock)
(Car honking outside)
Shit!
Girl, what happened to you?
Don't ask.
Lauren: You'd think she went out
on a bender last night.
Sara: Lauren thinks you're a drunk.
I wish. I have a quiz tomorrow.
I had to study for it and I needed--
What you need is to be hanging
out with your two besties!
Sara: She's right, but, dude the
only way that I made it through junior year
is by investing in plenty of R&R
Beth: You almost failed your junior year.
Yeah, but it was so much fun.
Okay, well I don't want to
have that much fun.
It's hard enough for me to keep
my scholarship as it is.
You better not have a textbook in here.
Sara: Let's see what she brought.
Sara: Damn
Lauren: Ooooh! Look at this.
Sara: Lauren...
Lauren: What? Too soon?
No, it's fine.
Really, I'm good.
Now let's get this party started!
(Music)
(Song) Around the world baby, and back again
(Song) when will it stop,
I swear it's just never gonna end
(Song) 'cause there's a world out there, baby,
Yeah we just have to see.
(Song) it doesn't matter where we go
(Song)'cause it's forever on with the show
(Song) sing it loud and let me know
(Song) every step takes us further on down the road.
You okay back there?
Maybe Lauren was right,
that can definitely has more
than caffeine in it.
Hey Beth, I'm sorry I brought
up you know who earlier. I was just joking--
It's fine.
I just can't wait to graduate and
leave this all behind me.
Lauren: Where are you going to go after that?
I don't know. I was thinking Alaska.
Alaska?
Isn't that where truckers go to die?
No, that'd be like, Texas.
And what's wrong with Alaska?
Dude, it's so damn far away.
Lauren: I hope you don't expect us to visit.
Why not? It's peaceful.
You mean boring.
Just because it's not in a war zone
doesn't mean it's boring.
I want to help people.
You know, make a difference.
Like actually impact a community--
Lauren: Now I know you spiked this with some happy juice.
Beth: Hey, give it back.
(Spits out drink)
Shit girl, is this pure caffeine?!
Sara: That's what you get.
Well, I hope you know you're
going to be on the toilet later.
Caffeine is a diuretic.
I'm fine.
I drink this stuff all the time.
(Ambient country music)
(Sound of flies)
It's worst than outside.
I'm going to have to NOPE out of this one.
Come on!
Come on!
So do they expect us to pay, or
are they waiting out back to trade furs?
I think I saw the cashier earlier,
but I dont know where shes gone.
Yeah, shes probably chopping up
Bambi to add to her latest collection.
Buckdontfitinnajah
Where the fuck did she come from?
20 dollars says the twilight zone.
(Boisterous laughter)
Excuse me?
Buckdontfitinnajah
Cash or card?
Card?
Machine don't work.
Then why did you as--?!
Cash.
Can you go any faster?
We have somewhere to be...today.
Nope.
What do you mean, "No",
it doesn't take that long to--
Sorry...we're just on our way to the springs.
Wow! This is a really, really neat place here.
..lots of...preserves for sale...
My grandma used to--
Pickled!
Pickled preserves!
and they ain't for sale.
Dipwads didnt pasteurize the
last batch and it went bad...
...We didnt know...
...till the trucker got the--
Shit!
Straddle and float...straddle and float.
(Sound of urination)
(Sound of flies)
(Banging on door)
Sara: Beth!
(Banging on door)
Sara: Beth! Beth are you in there?
Sara: Are you okay?
No, I'm fine.
I just... had an accident.
Sara: Okay, cool.
Sara: I thought maybe some perv had
dragged you off into the woods or something.
No such luck.
Just the endless supply of my energy drink.
Sara: Wow, remind me to
never try what you had.
Sara, can you get me my bag?
I think I need to change my clothes.
Not a word.
She made me promise not to tell you.
I don't know why?
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
I told you.
Not a word. She'll never live it down.
You know, I don't know why y'all don't trust me.
Not everything is a joke to me, you know.
I recognize that she could
have been seriously hurt.
Lauren: So, Beth...
You do know you're supposed to
get shit-faced after you party.
Sara: Lauren.
Lauren: What?
(Flies buzzing)
Yes, we're here!
This place is lit.
Beth, you ready?
Beth?
I don't feel so good,
maybe you guys can go without me.
I'll just sleep in the car.
Don't be ridiculous,
You know we wouldn't leave you here by yourself.
Yeah, especially not after
you might have a concussion.
Sara: You know you want this.
Sara: The water will feel so good.
Beth: Fine.
You guys are adamant.
That's why you love us.
Sara: Innertubes...Bask in the sun...
Sara: You know...we'll just chill.
And then?
Sara: Beth, there's nothing more to it...Just chill.
Beth: For how long?
Lauren: Until we turn that frown upside-down.
Now this, is where memories are made.
(Children playing)
Sara: You guys are going to look back on this day--
(Lauren laughing)
Come on, my speech was not that corny.
Yeah, it kinda' was.
Whatever...Beth?
It was like, super corny.
Sorry...
Beth: I think I'm still just queasy from that fall.
Lauren: Famous last words.
Lauren: Why don't you sit over here, we'll get the inner tubes.
Sara: But we can't leave her alone.
Guys, I'm fine...really.
I'll just catch up.
Beth, you sure?
I said, I'm fine, I'm not a kid!
Pushy much?
(Children playing)
(Sounds of violent memories)
Excuse me miss, are you alright?
I'm fine.
I'm just waiting on my friends
to bring back my tube.
This tube right here?
Hey you look like you're a little out of it.
(Burps)
(Burps)
Look, I was just trying to do you a damn favor
you fucking skank!
Wasn't this whole thing supposed
to be about us getting out
and chilling together?
Yeah.
Then, why are we over here and she's...
Oh...oh damn.
I think she's going back to the car--?
Wait, what?
Lauren: So, what do we do?
Shit! We've barely been here half an hour.
So we stay?
I'm thinking about it.
Don't guilt me.
You've been dogging her out this entire trip.
Lauren: I know, I know. I'm just saying.
Alright, another 15 minutes.
Lauren: See I told you...
Sara: What?
Lauren: Socks say a lot about a girl.
Lauren: Well, that was a bust.
Sara: There will be other days.
Poor thing.
She's really going through it.
Lauren: Okay, okay she might be more--
(Burp)
(Muffled arguing)
Hey, hey, hey what's going on?
You need to shut the fuck up
and mind your own business!
I'm just trying to help--
Oh, are you done ignoring us for the day?
I plan this whole trip for you,
and what do you do?
You make up every excuse
just to piss the day away!
Now, Sara, you know that's not true--
No wonder David cheated on you!
(Tires screeching)
Beth, where are you going?
Away from you!
Hey, look I'm sorry.
I know I lost control of the wheel, but--
I think we're all okay so...
What the f--?
What are you even talking about?
You just fucking gutted me and
you expect me to act like everything's fine?
Hey Beth, I think you might've hit your
head when we swerved over there
I know I did.
Or maybe it's the revenge of the Hillbilly burritos.
You know it makes sense,
Bad belly, bad dreams.
No, I was awake, I was there
You two were arguing!
Why the fuck do you think we crashed?
Beth...we got a flat.
Lauren: yeah.
Sara: My gosh.
Lauren: Are you okay?
Sara: Are you okay?
Lauren: C'mon let me help you.
(Sound of an approaching vehicle)
Do you guys hear that?
(Background conversation)
(Sound of tools fixing the tire)
(Stomach gurgling)
(Sound of subtle flatulance)
Hey miss, don't I recognize you from the springs?
Good thing I came along.
This ain't no place to be after the sun goes down.
Yeah , well don't do us any favors.
Look, did I say something wro--
I don't know what your problem is, but--
Stop! What are you doing?!
Get off of her!
(Screaming)
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Oh God! Oh Shit!
David: He jumped out right in front of me!
David, what are you doing here?
Sara: I called him before the accident, before--
Lauren: Before that fucking psycho
showed up!
Do you think he's dead?
I hope so.
That asshole attacked Beth!
What?!
Shouldn't we check the body?
What do you mean?
To see if he's alive, I don't know!
And go to jail when he turns this
whole thing around on us? No thank you!
Look we just can't leave a
person in the middle of the--
Lauren's right!
Let's not sugar coat it.
Maybe he deserved it.
Maybe he got what's coming to him.
You of all people can understand that.
Beth we need to put this behind us.
Otherwise we risk everything.
And for what?
Fuck me!
Fuck me!
We gotta go.
(David's car cranking)
Beth: David!
Professor Smith: So to quote Nietzsches Ecce Homo,
"Alle Voruteile kommen aus den Eingeweiden",
which roughly translates to
"all prejudices come from the guts"...
...that deep down feeling
that something just isn't right.
Through the study of
psychology, weve found that
the areas of the brain that control our visceral
reactions also contribute to our emotional feelings.
So the next time you get butterflies in your stomach
consider the possibility that it could be just a biological adaptation
that is explicitly developed for survival.
That thing that's aptly called the second brain
could be just conveying a message of
pain, fear, conflict, disgust...
hunger, attachment,
and in many cases...
...loss.
Professor Cahill: 5 minutes left on your quiz.
If you want to check your answers
now is the time to do so.
Shit!
Anchorman: ...and in local news, a man was
found dead on state road 24
(Broadcast distorts)
...or it's the result of
an apparent hit and run.
Sheriffs are investigating the
circumstances surrounding the incident...
Lauren: So I guess we can rule out--
Beth: I don't know if I can do this.
I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind.
He attacked you.
We were there. I don't care how they paint him on T.V.
Beth: It's just too much.
I would do the same thing in a heartbeat.
So would Sara.
Where is she?
She said that she would meet us here.
She texted she was sick.
Didn't you get it?
I guess I haven't been getting
my messages.
You guys holding up okay?
As well as we can be, given the circum--
Beth: I gotta leave.
David: Hey, hey...hold on a minute.
Look, I know what happened was fucked up,
but we cant ignore how much
worse it could get if any of us were to--
...you know.
Beth: What?
Talked about it?
...was honest for once?...
Acknowledged that we were responsible for somebody's--
David: Shhh. Beth...
Beth: ...for somebody's death?
Beth, we need to get our shit together.
Now, this isnt about me screwing around on you.
This is about the rest of our lives.
And Im not about to let your guilt
or your fucking PTSD get us locked up!
Look, that came out wrong.
Just... Beth...
Really, David?...really?
(Garbled conversations)
(Sounds of random conversation)
Customer: Good morning, how are you?
Hey, I'm good. How are you?
I'm doing great, I had an order sent up...
(Sound of video game)
Pharmacist: Anything else I can get for you?
Customer: That's it, I appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Pharmacist: Alright, have a good one.
Customer: Yeah, you too.
Pharmacist: Hi, how can I help you?
Alright, I'll get that right out for you.
(Stomach gurgles violently)
Customer: Ma'am, are you okay?
Pharmacist: Here's your prescription.
Excuse me, are you okay?
Can you tell me where the bathroom is?
Pharmacist: Yeah, it's over there to the right. First door.
(Screams)
Help! Help!
Calm down, lady. Calm down.
Help!
They're trying to kill me!
They're trying to kill me! Please help!
The people in the--
Who?
The people in there
they're trying to kill m--
(Screaming)
Policeman: Get off her!
Freeze! I said, get off her!
Get off her, I said!
Freeze!
Alright, lady, calm down. I got this.
I said, Freeze!
Don't worry about it, lady, I saw everything.
(Screaming)
Please, somebody help me!
The police are trying to kill me!--
(Screams of anguish)
Customer: Somebody call 911!
Sara: Beth, are you there?
Lauren said she was worried about you--
Beth: Everyone is trying to kill me.
Sara: I know it might seem like that,
but that psycho--
Beth: Im not talking about him!
Its everyone!
Sara: Beth...you need some help.
Beth: No Shit!
Sara: ...but first, we have to get you
somewhere safe.
Beth: No!
No it's not safe.
Sara: I can come pick you up wherever you are.
Beth: No, I said it's not safe!
Sara: I'm really worried about you.
Beth: I dont know if its all in my head...
...or if everyone in the world is losing their fucking mind!
Sara: You didnt imagine that guy yesterday...
...or what happened to him.
We were cowards,
...you were right.
You were the only one who wanted
to do the decent thing back there...
But whats done is done...
...we cant change it.
Weve gotta--
(Police sirens in the distance)
(Kettle whistle)
(Doorbell rings)
Beth, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.
Don't!
Don't!
Don't!
Its okay...I promise.
Youre safe now.
Come inside.
Sara: Can I get you anything?
Sara: Hey, look...
...I'm really sorry I wasn't at school today.
(Sara sniffs)
My allergies got all flared up.
I think it's from all that "nature" that
we experienced yesterday.
Is that what we're calling it now?
Beth...what happened?
I told you on the phone.
What you told me...
...it doesn't make any sense.
How?
You think I punched myself in the face?
...stabbed my own hand?
Where are these people?
Where are the witnesses?
Beth...
...why didn't you call the cops?
The cops are in on it too!
C'mon why don't you believe me?
You saw for yourself yesterday--
That was different.
How?
Beth: In what way was it any different?
Sara: Beth...
Sara: ...because it was real.
Yeah...Yesterday, it was real.
What happened to you...
I believe it's affecting you.
I think it's affecting your mind.
Just think about it...
Your best friend walks in telling you
the whole world is out to get her.
But we've been through this before...
...just a few months ago.
Look, I really don't care what the hell happened.
I love you...
...and I always will.
But, we've got to figure this out.
I think I'm going to go clean myself up a bit.
Okay.
Maybe I am losing my fucking mind.
(Knocking at the door)
Babe, you would not believe what I've been going through
trying to help Beth keep her shit together.
(Running water)
I mean, I'm not stupid.
David...
David: ...I know things will never be the same
between us again but...
...I still care about her.
Obviously.
Beth: David?
David: Beth?
Sara: This isn't--
I've been looking all over for you.
It all makes sense now...
...This is the reason you called
him when we broke down.
Sara, are you the one who David cheating on me with?
I trusted you!
David: Hey! hey! Hey!
David: Beth! This is not how we resolve conflict!
Beth: (Enraged screaming)
David: Beth! Hey!
Blaming Sara is not going to accomplish anything!
Are you fucking kidding me?
Stop it.
Sara: I'm sorry...
David: Do not apologize.
Do Not apologize!
(Stomach gurgling)
You're as much to blame as any of us.
You pushed us all out...
You pushed all of us to--
Sara?
Beth?
Oh shit!
Babe!
Are you okay?
Oh Shit.
Beth...
Beth.
Beth?
I guess you feel better now that you've hurt somebody.
You know Sara, didn't deserve that.
It's me that you really want.
Beth: Stay the fuck back!
Okay...calm down.
I know you're upset--
Upset?!
You tried to KILL me!
Beth...?
I would never hurt a woman you know--
You're a LIAR!
I cannot let you stay here in
your current state of mind.
Now, I might be an asshole...
...but I'm not going to let you take it out on Sara.
Alright?
(Kettle whistle blows)
(David screams in pain)
(Sara screams)
Sara: I saw him attack you and--
Why? Why would he?
(Gurgling)
Sara: Why? Why?
(Gurgling)
Sara: Don't go...please.
(Telephone rings)
Dr. Harris: Beth?
Is this a bad time?
Doc, I-I--
Dr. Harris: I just wanted to check and see
if you had the prescription filled.
They tried to kill me!
Dr. Harris: The nightmares...
They've started again haven't they?
I think I'm losing my mind.
Dr. Harris: Come on...
...just calm down.
Take a deep breath.
Reality can get a little jumbled sometimes
when your mind tries to process traumatic experiences.
It's going to be alright...
But next time...
Maybe you'll think twice before
Going on a Fucking Killing Spree!
(Gaston Meows)
(Gaston Meows)
(Gaston Hisses)
(Telephone rings)
Hello, this is Professor Cahill.
Professor Cahill, this is Beth Monroe.
Im in your fourth period Nutrition class...
Miss Monroe if this is about your
quiz, there are no makeups--
This is not about the fucking quiz!
Pardon me?
I need to talk.
Well, Im sorry my office hours
are over for today,
but, I can schedule you next week--
W-wait, wait, wait! I just have one--
Can you...can you just answer a question for me?
Okay, be quick.
Remember the microbiome stuff
we were studying in class?
Is it possible, in severe cases,
for one persons bacteria to affect another?
I dont think I understand your question.
If a patient was having gut issues,
could their bacteria transfer to another person?
Maybe in the case of gastroenteritis,
but that's usually pretty avoidable.
Its not like the airborne flu--
But what if it is?
What if every time a person got close
to the patient they had a violent reaction?
Like white blood cells attacking a disease.
Aberrant leukocytes?
Miss Monroe, we deal with science,
not science fiction.
Besides, I've got to go.
When you have a serious question
related to the course material--
J-Just, Just one more question.
How does a person fix their microbiomes?
Well, you don't fix it as much as you
kill off the bad biomes and replenish the good.
How?
Detox, diet change, spore based probiotics,
there are a slew of methods out there.
They'll take a few weeks to--
Anything faster?!
Faster?
What is this about?
A family member is having some issues.
I'm doing some research for them.
Oh, okay.
Um well, let me think.
Well there is... fecal microbiota therapy.
What's that?
Its when a doctor replenishes or replaces
the bad bacteria with good bacteria via a fecal transplant...
Animals, they do it naturally all the time by uh...
...you know, to rebalance their systems.
Miss Monroe are you still there?
How do you get it?
Well, I wouldnt know.
Im not a specialist in the field,
but, if this is related to a personal health issue...
you should call your doctor.
Or go to the hospital and they can provide you with an alter--
(Phone hangs up)
(Sirens in the distance)
Lauren!
I'm sorry, do I know you?
It's me. Beth.
Beth, what the hell?
Why are you dressed like a homeless mummy?
I need to see a doctor.
Okay, but you're gonna have to lose some of this--
No, stop! Whatever I have, it maybe contagious!
Shit!
I'll go call a doctor.
(Screaming)
(Heart monitor sounds)
(Beth groaning)
Hey Beth, are you okay?
The doctors say you're lucky.
It's a miracle you didn't break your neck.
Where are all of my clothes?
Beth, I think you should take it easy.
I told you, there's something wrong with my stomach.
There's something wrong with your mind.
Lauren, what the hell? Why can't you just believe me?--
It was for your own good.
Lauren...
...Lauren, what the hell?!
(Beth Screams)
Okay...
Okay...I'm calm now.
You can release the restraints, I just...
...I just freaked out when I saw the cop.
You weren't running from the cop,
you were running from me and I'm your friend.
Then act like it!
(Beth Screams in pain)
Are you okay?
I told you it's my stomach!
I'm going to go get someone.
Help! Stop Lauren!
No, no, wait! Wait!
Just release me from these things
so I can go to the bathroom, huh?
(Beth weeps)
I don't know...
You know, I've seen way too many movies where the bad guys--
Would you rather me SHIT all over this bed instead?!
Okay, okay...don't make me regret this.
(Beth groans in pain)
(Beth groans in pain)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
Are you okay in there?
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
Are you feeling--?
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
I'm going to call someone!
(Sounds of moaning and explosive defecation)
(Beth weeping)
(Beth Weeping)
(Beth weeping)
Miss?
Can I help you?
It's okay...
It's okay.
I'll stay right over here...
Right where God put me.
You ever think of that?
That were exactly where were supposed to be?
Im of the belief that everything happens for a reason.
Every sickness, every pain, every heartbreak.
Theyre all opportunities...
to either be crushed by the pressure
and allow your soul to become as dark as coal or...
...use the pressure to elevate you...
become a...
diamond...
...become... a...become...
What the hell?
(Screaming)
You don't want to do this.
You don't want to do this do you?
Please!
Lauren, no!
(Lauren growls)
(Sceaming)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Fire alarm goes off)
(Phone vibrates)
(Door knocks)
Surprise!
Happy birthday, Beth!
...It's so good to see you.
And you have a knife, it's like you were expecting us.
Perfect, I'll bring in the cake.
It's your favorite! It's Chocolate!
(Knock at the door)
(Softer knock at the door)
(Softer knock at the door)
(Softer knock at the door)
What the Hell?
(Incoming text chimes)
Beth: Just leave the package on the doorstep.
Deliveryman: You Beth Monroe?
Beth: Yeah. Just leave it out there and Ill get it, thanks.
Gaston, you scared the shit out of me!
(Cat meows)
Deliveryman: Excuse me, miss?
Im sorry, I forgot to get your signature.
Are you o-k-k-k--
(Beth screams)
Professor Cahill: Ok, So that brings us to the
question, what is the role of nutrition in our society today?
Dont all answer me at once.
Student: Nutrition is important to human health.
Professor Cahill: Nutrition is important to human health,
...sure, but how do we define "health"?
Student: That's when your body functions correctly.
Professor Cahill: Okay, when your body functions correctly, okay...
Student: I think health has more to do with
how we fend off infection and diseases.
Professor Cahill: Yeah
Professor Cahill: Yeah, all of those answers are correct
...but they lack one essential ingredient.
Professor Cahill: Its important that, as medical
professionals, we have a definition of health
that is more
holistic.
Professor Cahill: Pop culture is obsessed with health and wellbeing
but seldom do they take the time to hone in on how the food makes us feel.
Beth: I'm sorry Professor, but, that doesnt make any sense.
I mean, if a patient is getting the right nutrients, then ultimately,
happy or not, wouldnt everything just
Professor Cahill: Wouldn't everything be just fine?
Professor Cahill: Yeah, the answer isnt as simple as
wed like, and even by thinking that way
...we neglect a vital part of our relationship with the patient.
Professor Cahill: As nurses, most of you will not only be
responsible for assessing deficiencies and administering nutrients,
but in some cases your knowledge of nutrition
will become essential to stem behavioral issues as well.
Beth: Like kids with ADHD or on the spectrum?
Professor Cahill: Exactly!
Doctors and medical professionals
are consistently reporting positive results
when we adjust the dietary intake
of patients with those disorders
Right, as the old adage goes...
I will get you to say this one of these days,
"You are what you eat.
(Students groaning)
Okay, that is all the time we have for today.
Professor Cahill: Do not forget to read chapter 13 in your book.
It is on gut flora and elimination diets.
Professor Cahill: Also, there is a quiz on Friday.
Professor Cahill: If you have any questions before then
you can reach me during my office hours.
Freshman girl: So, what's the deal with these Ro-RoRohee
David: Rohingya.
Freshman girl: Ohoh yeah.
David: And its a disenfranchised community in Burma.
David: Organizations like the U.N. have been aware
of the violence and human rights violations for--
I'm sorry, where was I?
Freshman girl: Human rights?
David: Right, umm, yeah, peopleve known about it
for years but no one seems to want to do anything about it.
Umm...
if you want to know more theres a ton of information on our website.
Freshman girl: Wow.
David: The web address is written at the bottom.
In the meantime, if you have any more questions
Chad can fill you in, okay?
David: Hey, I'll be back, okay?
Chad: Okay.
Chad: Yeah, so how can I help you?
Shit!
David: Whoa, sorry.
I didnt mean to scare you.
David: I just knew if you saw me, youd have gone the other way.
Beth: What the hell, David?
David: Just hear me outplease.
There's nothing to say.
I know, but at least let me explain.
Beth: Explain? Explain what?
You want me to feel sorry for you?
Oh, poor David too busy trying to save
everyone from all the assholes in the world.
The only problem is, HES the biggest one.
That's not fair.
Fair?...fair?
You know, I do feel sorry for you...
it must be lonely being such a fucking hypocrite.
David: Hey, wait...alright...
David: I deserve that.
I understand if you hate me.
What I did was inconsiderate,
and you know I would take it back if I could...
all I can say is that Im sorry from the bottom of my heart.
And I havent given up on us.
I cant.
Beth: I gotta go. I can't do this.
(Music plays)
Sara: Don't you dare open that book!
Were supposed to be meeting for lunch, not a study date.
Beth: I know, but Ive got a ton of
work to do. Im just trying to stay on top of it.
Sara: Let me stop you right there,
that's what a psycho would say.
Yeah, well it's what I like to do.
I still don't get you girl.
How can someone thats such a germaphobe
be okay with hanging out in some of the
most disease infested places on the planet?
We've had this discussion before
hospitals are sterile.
Umm, no.
And, even if they were
the patients sure as hell arent sterile.
I don't know how you're going to do it.
It's my calling.
Like a mission.
I don't like to see people suffer
and if I can do something about it, its worth a little discomfort.
And for the record, Im not a germaphobe.
Im just clean...
which is more than I can say for some people.
You want to throw shade?
Beth: Just saying
In the right conditions certain bacteria can
replicate an entire generation every 20 minutes.
That's like 6 million new bacteria in like 8 hours.
A little caution never hurt anyone.
How about this...
we go to the springs, relax, and do some
I told you, Im swamped.
I could barely even spare the time to meet up here today.
It's him, isn't it?
Who? David?
No.
I'm just
It's okay, you know.
You guys have been together for like, 2 years.
Nobody expects you to get over it over
Im fine.
Really, I...
...the jerk isn't even worth my time...
really.
I just got a lot to study for.
I've got this quiz on Friday and...
I'm fine...really.
Well, okay.
Sara: You know... I'm just here to help.
Beth: I know.
I appreciate it.
So, uh, you gonna start a fire?
Or are you going to polish all the shine off of that apple?
Germaphobe.
Gross.
Maybe I am a germaphobe.
(Phone rings)
Beth: Hi Mom.
Mom: Hi Honey, how's school?
Beth: You know, always something to study for.
Mom: Oh, am I disturbing you? I can call back later.
Beth: No, it's fine. I'm actually due for
a study break anyway. What's up?
Mom: Nothing in particular.
Your dad and I were just thinking about
you and wondering if you were getting along alright.
We worry, you know, with you living alone in that house.
Beth: I'm fine.
Im sure Ill find some new tenants soon,
the fall semester is about to start.
In the meantime, at least I have Gaston.
Mom: Your safety comes first and we dont
feel comfortable with you alone. Especially with
Mom...I'm fine.
Mom: Alright But, as your parents,
we're going to worry.
Especially when you miss your appointments.
Mom!
Mom: Okay, okay...look, I know you're an adult.
And I'm sure you can handle this but,
Dr. Harris just asked us to remind
you about your appointment tomorrow.
Beth: Are you keeping tabs on me?
Mom: No, of course not.
Mom: But, you know he's a family friend.
Beth: And...?
Mom: So he gave us a call when
he couldn't reach you.
Noted.
Mom: So, does that mean you're going to go?
If I have time.
I've got a lot of studying to do.
Mom: Beth
...Go to the appointment.
Fine...
I'll go.
Mom: You sure?
I said I would go. Now, I gotta go, okay?
Mom: Alright, but I--
Beth: Alright, alright love you. Bye Mom.
Family sucks.
No wonder you became a stray.
So, are you readjusting well?
I think so.
And, what about the nightmares?
I haven't had one in...maybe a couple of weeks.
So, would you say the prescription I gave you
has reduced your level of anxiety?
I don't know.
Sometimes.
What do you mean?
Beth: I meanwhen I take them it chills me out, but
But what?
But, when I did I didn't feel like myself.
Are you saying you stopped?
I ran out.
I get that.
Sometimes these medications can be a littletricky.
Ill adjust the dosage if youd like.
In the meantime, tell me about your relationships.
Do you spend much time with your friends nowadays?
Not really...
...I've been buried in the books.
Interesting choice of words.
Would you say that you're using your
schoolwork as an excuse to distance yourself?
You don't have to answer that.
However, the best way to break the
phobia that you have developed
Is to gradually introduce positive reinforcements.
So, what? Are you telling me to
party and get wasted?
Not so much.
Your parents would kill me.
But I am saying it would be good
to get out and be around people.
Be adventurous. Maybe go on a date.
Dr. Harris: Are you still seeing that guy?
Beth: No.
It's not like we were married or anything.
It's over.
Let's move on.
You know, Beth, it's not uncommon
to find difficulty maintaining intimate ties.
Think about it.
Someone broke into your home
and held you at gunpoint.
It's okay to be shaken up.
I'm not a victim, okay
stop treating me like one.
You may not want your whole life
to be defined by trauma.
But, isn't that what's still happening?
(echoes of a violent memory)
So, how do I get through this?
You know how this works.
I'm not here to give answers.
I only suggest strategies.
It is upon you whether to implement them.
Beth: Okay, so what are your strategies?
Invest in your relationships.
Spend some time with the people in your life.
Beth: Any other suggestions?
There's always the meds.
Feels like a rock and a hard place.
Beth, call it what you will.
But, believe me...
...the better you feel in your relationships
...the less you will succumb to feelings of paranoia.
Lauren: See that couple over there?
Sara: Yeah.
Don't make it obvious.
Look at her socks.
So what about her socks?
Anybody rocking socks like that
was either homeschooled in a cave
or theyve been watching way too much anime.
Probably both.
I have a pair of socks like that.
Well, I already know you weren't raised right.
Come on, really.
Anyway, you can tell...
she's a straight up freak.
From her socks?
Yup.
All that...from her socks?
Uh huh, it's called insight.
You just have to be born with it.
Sara: Dude stop
Beth: What are you guys doing?
Lauren: Feel that?
Sara: Really?
I'm blowing her mind.
Sara: Please.
Beth: Looks like I got here just in time.
Yes, please save me from this insanity.
So Beth, did you have a religious
experience or something?
Can't a girl just hang
out with her friends sometimes?
Yeah, of course.
But, we thought you were--
Beth: Look, I...
I...I know that I've been distant
these past few months.
I've just been trying to figure
out everything that happened.
And then my relationship with David fell apart...
We know...
We've always had your back.
Lauren: Yeah, us girls gotta stick together.
Sara: Always.
Speaking of which...
Sara...
Sara: mmhmm
... is that daycay offer still on the table?
Uhh...hell yeah, just say the word.
Lauren: Good Lord, now I know
this must be a miracle.
It's only been like, 3 months.
That's like 2 dog years.
I've missed you guys.
Lauren: Come on, bring it in.
(Cat moaning)
(Clock ticking)
(Creaking footsteps)
(Floor slip)
Gaston!
Are you protecting the house from intruders?
(Cat moans)
Okay, I get it.
You're punishing me for
leaving you home all day.
Okay, I get it.
I leave the house for 8 hours and
you give me 6 million little reasons...
...to never have friends.
(Alarm clock)
(Car honking outside)
Shit!
Girl, what happened to you?
Don't ask.
Lauren: You'd think she went out
on a bender last night.
Sara: Lauren thinks you're a drunk.
I wish. I have a quiz tomorrow.
I had to study for it and I needed--
What you need is to be hanging
out with your two besties!
Sara: She's right, but, dude the
only way that I made it through junior year
is by investing in plenty of R&R
Beth: You almost failed your junior year.
Yeah, but it was so much fun.
Okay, well I don't want to
have that much fun.
It's hard enough for me to keep
my scholarship as it is.
You better not have a textbook in here.
Sara: Let's see what she brought.
Sara: Damn
Lauren: Ooooh! Look at this.
Sara: Lauren...
Lauren: What? Too soon?
No, it's fine.
Really, I'm good.
Now let's get this party started!
(Music)
(Song) Around the world baby, and back again
(Song) when will it stop,
I swear it's just never gonna end
(Song) 'cause there's a world out there, baby,
Yeah we just have to see.
(Song) it doesn't matter where we go
(Song)'cause it's forever on with the show
(Song) sing it loud and let me know
(Song) every step takes us further on down the road.
You okay back there?
Maybe Lauren was right,
that can definitely has more
than caffeine in it.
Hey Beth, I'm sorry I brought
up you know who earlier. I was just joking--
It's fine.
I just can't wait to graduate and
leave this all behind me.
Lauren: Where are you going to go after that?
I don't know. I was thinking Alaska.
Alaska?
Isn't that where truckers go to die?
No, that'd be like, Texas.
And what's wrong with Alaska?
Dude, it's so damn far away.
Lauren: I hope you don't expect us to visit.
Why not? It's peaceful.
You mean boring.
Just because it's not in a war zone
doesn't mean it's boring.
I want to help people.
You know, make a difference.
Like actually impact a community--
Lauren: Now I know you spiked this with some happy juice.
Beth: Hey, give it back.
(Spits out drink)
Shit girl, is this pure caffeine?!
Sara: That's what you get.
Well, I hope you know you're
going to be on the toilet later.
Caffeine is a diuretic.
I'm fine.
I drink this stuff all the time.
(Ambient country music)
(Sound of flies)
It's worst than outside.
I'm going to have to NOPE out of this one.
Come on!
Come on!
So do they expect us to pay, or
are they waiting out back to trade furs?
I think I saw the cashier earlier,
but I dont know where shes gone.
Yeah, shes probably chopping up
Bambi to add to her latest collection.
Buckdontfitinnajah
Where the fuck did she come from?
20 dollars says the twilight zone.
(Boisterous laughter)
Excuse me?
Buckdontfitinnajah
Cash or card?
Card?
Machine don't work.
Then why did you as--?!
Cash.
Can you go any faster?
We have somewhere to be...today.
Nope.
What do you mean, "No",
it doesn't take that long to--
Sorry...we're just on our way to the springs.
Wow! This is a really, really neat place here.
..lots of...preserves for sale...
My grandma used to--
Pickled!
Pickled preserves!
and they ain't for sale.
Dipwads didnt pasteurize the
last batch and it went bad...
...We didnt know...
...till the trucker got the--
Shit!
Straddle and float...straddle and float.
(Sound of urination)
(Sound of flies)
(Banging on door)
Sara: Beth!
(Banging on door)
Sara: Beth! Beth are you in there?
Sara: Are you okay?
No, I'm fine.
I just... had an accident.
Sara: Okay, cool.
Sara: I thought maybe some perv had
dragged you off into the woods or something.
No such luck.
Just the endless supply of my energy drink.
Sara: Wow, remind me to
never try what you had.
Sara, can you get me my bag?
I think I need to change my clothes.
Not a word.
She made me promise not to tell you.
I don't know why?
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
I told you.
Not a word. She'll never live it down.
You know, I don't know why y'all don't trust me.
Not everything is a joke to me, you know.
I recognize that she could
have been seriously hurt.
Lauren: So, Beth...
You do know you're supposed to
get shit-faced after you party.
Sara: Lauren.
Lauren: What?
(Flies buzzing)
Yes, we're here!
This place is lit.
Beth, you ready?
Beth?
I don't feel so good,
maybe you guys can go without me.
I'll just sleep in the car.
Don't be ridiculous,
You know we wouldn't leave you here by yourself.
Yeah, especially not after
you might have a concussion.
Sara: You know you want this.
Sara: The water will feel so good.
Beth: Fine.
You guys are adamant.
That's why you love us.
Sara: Innertubes...Bask in the sun...
Sara: You know...we'll just chill.
And then?
Sara: Beth, there's nothing more to it...Just chill.
Beth: For how long?
Lauren: Until we turn that frown upside-down.
Now this, is where memories are made.
(Children playing)
Sara: You guys are going to look back on this day--
(Lauren laughing)
Come on, my speech was not that corny.
Yeah, it kinda' was.
Whatever...Beth?
It was like, super corny.
Sorry...
Beth: I think I'm still just queasy from that fall.
Lauren: Famous last words.
Lauren: Why don't you sit over here, we'll get the inner tubes.
Sara: But we can't leave her alone.
Guys, I'm fine...really.
I'll just catch up.
Beth, you sure?
I said, I'm fine, I'm not a kid!
Pushy much?
(Children playing)
(Sounds of violent memories)
Excuse me miss, are you alright?
I'm fine.
I'm just waiting on my friends
to bring back my tube.
This tube right here?
Hey you look like you're a little out of it.
(Burps)
(Burps)
Look, I was just trying to do you a damn favor
you fucking skank!
Wasn't this whole thing supposed
to be about us getting out
and chilling together?
Yeah.
Then, why are we over here and she's...
Oh...oh damn.
I think she's going back to the car--?
Wait, what?
Lauren: So, what do we do?
Shit! We've barely been here half an hour.
So we stay?
I'm thinking about it.
Don't guilt me.
You've been dogging her out this entire trip.
Lauren: I know, I know. I'm just saying.
Alright, another 15 minutes.
Lauren: See I told you...
Sara: What?
Lauren: Socks say a lot about a girl.
Lauren: Well, that was a bust.
Sara: There will be other days.
Poor thing.
She's really going through it.
Lauren: Okay, okay she might be more--
(Burp)
(Muffled arguing)
Hey, hey, hey what's going on?
You need to shut the fuck up
and mind your own business!
I'm just trying to help--
Oh, are you done ignoring us for the day?
I plan this whole trip for you,
and what do you do?
You make up every excuse
just to piss the day away!
Now, Sara, you know that's not true--
No wonder David cheated on you!
(Tires screeching)
Beth, where are you going?
Away from you!
Hey, look I'm sorry.
I know I lost control of the wheel, but--
I think we're all okay so...
What the f--?
What are you even talking about?
You just fucking gutted me and
you expect me to act like everything's fine?
Hey Beth, I think you might've hit your
head when we swerved over there
I know I did.
Or maybe it's the revenge of the Hillbilly burritos.
You know it makes sense,
Bad belly, bad dreams.
No, I was awake, I was there
You two were arguing!
Why the fuck do you think we crashed?
Beth...we got a flat.
Lauren: yeah.
Sara: My gosh.
Lauren: Are you okay?
Sara: Are you okay?
Lauren: C'mon let me help you.
(Sound of an approaching vehicle)
Do you guys hear that?
(Background conversation)
(Sound of tools fixing the tire)
(Stomach gurgling)
(Sound of subtle flatulance)
Hey miss, don't I recognize you from the springs?
Good thing I came along.
This ain't no place to be after the sun goes down.
Yeah , well don't do us any favors.
Look, did I say something wro--
I don't know what your problem is, but--
Stop! What are you doing?!
Get off of her!
(Screaming)
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Oh God! Oh Shit!
David: He jumped out right in front of me!
David, what are you doing here?
Sara: I called him before the accident, before--
Lauren: Before that fucking psycho
showed up!
Do you think he's dead?
I hope so.
That asshole attacked Beth!
What?!
Shouldn't we check the body?
What do you mean?
To see if he's alive, I don't know!
And go to jail when he turns this
whole thing around on us? No thank you!
Look we just can't leave a
person in the middle of the--
Lauren's right!
Let's not sugar coat it.
Maybe he deserved it.
Maybe he got what's coming to him.
You of all people can understand that.
Beth we need to put this behind us.
Otherwise we risk everything.
And for what?
Fuck me!
Fuck me!
We gotta go.
(David's car cranking)
Beth: David!
Professor Smith: So to quote Nietzsches Ecce Homo,
"Alle Voruteile kommen aus den Eingeweiden",
which roughly translates to
"all prejudices come from the guts"...
...that deep down feeling
that something just isn't right.
Through the study of
psychology, weve found that
the areas of the brain that control our visceral
reactions also contribute to our emotional feelings.
So the next time you get butterflies in your stomach
consider the possibility that it could be just a biological adaptation
that is explicitly developed for survival.
That thing that's aptly called the second brain
could be just conveying a message of
pain, fear, conflict, disgust...
hunger, attachment,
and in many cases...
...loss.
Professor Cahill: 5 minutes left on your quiz.
If you want to check your answers
now is the time to do so.
Shit!
Anchorman: ...and in local news, a man was
found dead on state road 24
(Broadcast distorts)
...or it's the result of
an apparent hit and run.
Sheriffs are investigating the
circumstances surrounding the incident...
Lauren: So I guess we can rule out--
Beth: I don't know if I can do this.
I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind.
He attacked you.
We were there. I don't care how they paint him on T.V.
Beth: It's just too much.
I would do the same thing in a heartbeat.
So would Sara.
Where is she?
She said that she would meet us here.
She texted she was sick.
Didn't you get it?
I guess I haven't been getting
my messages.
You guys holding up okay?
As well as we can be, given the circum--
Beth: I gotta leave.
David: Hey, hey...hold on a minute.
Look, I know what happened was fucked up,
but we cant ignore how much
worse it could get if any of us were to--
...you know.
Beth: What?
Talked about it?
...was honest for once?...
Acknowledged that we were responsible for somebody's--
David: Shhh. Beth...
Beth: ...for somebody's death?
Beth, we need to get our shit together.
Now, this isnt about me screwing around on you.
This is about the rest of our lives.
And Im not about to let your guilt
or your fucking PTSD get us locked up!
Look, that came out wrong.
Just... Beth...
Really, David?...really?
(Garbled conversations)
(Sounds of random conversation)
Customer: Good morning, how are you?
Hey, I'm good. How are you?
I'm doing great, I had an order sent up...
(Sound of video game)
Pharmacist: Anything else I can get for you?
Customer: That's it, I appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Pharmacist: Alright, have a good one.
Customer: Yeah, you too.
Pharmacist: Hi, how can I help you?
Alright, I'll get that right out for you.
(Stomach gurgles violently)
Customer: Ma'am, are you okay?
Pharmacist: Here's your prescription.
Excuse me, are you okay?
Can you tell me where the bathroom is?
Pharmacist: Yeah, it's over there to the right. First door.
(Screams)
Help! Help!
Calm down, lady. Calm down.
Help!
They're trying to kill me!
They're trying to kill me! Please help!
The people in the--
Who?
The people in there
they're trying to kill m--
(Screaming)
Policeman: Get off her!
Freeze! I said, get off her!
Get off her, I said!
Freeze!
Alright, lady, calm down. I got this.
I said, Freeze!
Don't worry about it, lady, I saw everything.
(Screaming)
Please, somebody help me!
The police are trying to kill me!--
(Screams of anguish)
Customer: Somebody call 911!
Sara: Beth, are you there?
Lauren said she was worried about you--
Beth: Everyone is trying to kill me.
Sara: I know it might seem like that,
but that psycho--
Beth: Im not talking about him!
Its everyone!
Sara: Beth...you need some help.
Beth: No Shit!
Sara: ...but first, we have to get you
somewhere safe.
Beth: No!
No it's not safe.
Sara: I can come pick you up wherever you are.
Beth: No, I said it's not safe!
Sara: I'm really worried about you.
Beth: I dont know if its all in my head...
...or if everyone in the world is losing their fucking mind!
Sara: You didnt imagine that guy yesterday...
...or what happened to him.
We were cowards,
...you were right.
You were the only one who wanted
to do the decent thing back there...
But whats done is done...
...we cant change it.
Weve gotta--
(Police sirens in the distance)
(Kettle whistle)
(Doorbell rings)
Beth, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.
Don't!
Don't!
Don't!
Its okay...I promise.
Youre safe now.
Come inside.
Sara: Can I get you anything?
Sara: Hey, look...
...I'm really sorry I wasn't at school today.
(Sara sniffs)
My allergies got all flared up.
I think it's from all that "nature" that
we experienced yesterday.
Is that what we're calling it now?
Beth...what happened?
I told you on the phone.
What you told me...
...it doesn't make any sense.
How?
You think I punched myself in the face?
...stabbed my own hand?
Where are these people?
Where are the witnesses?
Beth...
...why didn't you call the cops?
The cops are in on it too!
C'mon why don't you believe me?
You saw for yourself yesterday--
That was different.
How?
Beth: In what way was it any different?
Sara: Beth...
Sara: ...because it was real.
Yeah...Yesterday, it was real.
What happened to you...
I believe it's affecting you.
I think it's affecting your mind.
Just think about it...
Your best friend walks in telling you
the whole world is out to get her.
But we've been through this before...
...just a few months ago.
Look, I really don't care what the hell happened.
I love you...
...and I always will.
But, we've got to figure this out.
I think I'm going to go clean myself up a bit.
Okay.
Maybe I am losing my fucking mind.
(Knocking at the door)
Babe, you would not believe what I've been going through
trying to help Beth keep her shit together.
(Running water)
I mean, I'm not stupid.
David...
David: ...I know things will never be the same
between us again but...
...I still care about her.
Obviously.
Beth: David?
David: Beth?
Sara: This isn't--
I've been looking all over for you.
It all makes sense now...
...This is the reason you called
him when we broke down.
Sara, are you the one who David cheating on me with?
I trusted you!
David: Hey! hey! Hey!
David: Beth! This is not how we resolve conflict!
Beth: (Enraged screaming)
David: Beth! Hey!
Blaming Sara is not going to accomplish anything!
Are you fucking kidding me?
Stop it.
Sara: I'm sorry...
David: Do not apologize.
Do Not apologize!
(Stomach gurgling)
You're as much to blame as any of us.
You pushed us all out...
You pushed all of us to--
Sara?
Beth?
Oh shit!
Babe!
Are you okay?
Oh Shit.
Beth...
Beth.
Beth?
I guess you feel better now that you've hurt somebody.
You know Sara, didn't deserve that.
It's me that you really want.
Beth: Stay the fuck back!
Okay...calm down.
I know you're upset--
Upset?!
You tried to KILL me!
Beth...?
I would never hurt a woman you know--
You're a LIAR!
I cannot let you stay here in
your current state of mind.
Now, I might be an asshole...
...but I'm not going to let you take it out on Sara.
Alright?
(Kettle whistle blows)
(David screams in pain)
(Sara screams)
Sara: I saw him attack you and--
Why? Why would he?
(Gurgling)
Sara: Why? Why?
(Gurgling)
Sara: Don't go...please.
(Telephone rings)
Dr. Harris: Beth?
Is this a bad time?
Doc, I-I--
Dr. Harris: I just wanted to check and see
if you had the prescription filled.
They tried to kill me!
Dr. Harris: The nightmares...
They've started again haven't they?
I think I'm losing my mind.
Dr. Harris: Come on...
...just calm down.
Take a deep breath.
Reality can get a little jumbled sometimes
when your mind tries to process traumatic experiences.
It's going to be alright...
But next time...
Maybe you'll think twice before
Going on a Fucking Killing Spree!

Hello, this is Professor Cahill.
Professor Cahill, this is Beth Monroe.
Im in your fourth period Nutrition class...
Miss Monroe if this is about your
quiz, there are no makeups--
This is not about the fucking quiz!
Pardon me?
I need to talk.
Well, Im sorry my office hours
are over for today,
but, I can schedule you next week--
W-wait, wait, wait! I just have one--
Can you...can you just answer a question for me?
Okay, be quick.
Remember the microbiome stuff
we were studying in class?
Is it possible, in severe cases,
for one persons bacteria to affect another?
I dont think I understand your question.
If a patient was having gut issues,
could their bacteria transfer to another person?
Maybe in the case of gastroenteritis,
but that's usually pretty avoidable.
Its not like the airborne flu--
But what if it is?
What if every time a person got close
to the patient they had a violent reaction?
Like white blood cells attacking a disease.
Aberrant leukocytes?
Miss Monroe, we deal with science,
not science fiction.
Besides, I've got to go.
When you have a serious question
related to the course material--
J-Just, Just one more question.
How does a person fix their microbiomes?
Well, you don't fix it as much as you
kill off the bad biomes and replenish the good.
How?
Detox, diet change, spore based probiotics,
there are a slew of methods out there.
They'll take a few weeks to--
Anything faster?!
Faster?
What is this about?
A family member is having some issues.
I'm doing some research for them.
Oh, okay.
Um well, let me think.
Well there is... fecal microbiota therapy.
What's that?
Its when a doctor replenishes or replaces
the bad bacteria with good bacteria via a fecal transplant...
Animals, they do it naturally all the time by uh...
...you know, to rebalance their systems.
Miss Monroe are you still there?
How do you get it?
Well, I wouldnt know.
Im not a specialist in the field,
but, if this is related to a personal health issue...
you should call your doctor.
Or go to the hospital and they can provide you with an alter--
(Phone hangs up)
(Sirens in the distance)
Lauren!
I'm sorry, do I know you?
It's me. Beth.
Beth, what the hell?
Why are you dressed like a homeless mummy?
I need to see a doctor.
Okay, but you're gonna have to lose some of this--
No, stop! Whatever I have, it maybe contagious!
Shit!
I'll go call a doctor.
(Screaming)
(Heart monitor sounds)
(Beth groaning)
Hey Beth, are you okay?
The doctors say you're lucky.
It's a miracle you didn't break your neck.
Where are all of my clothes?
Beth, I think you should take it easy.
I told you, there's something wrong with my stomach.
There's something wrong with your mind.
Lauren, what the hell? Why can't you just believe me?--
It was for your own good.
Lauren...
...Lauren, what the hell?!
(Beth Screams)
Okay...
Okay...I'm calm now.
You can release the restraints, I just...
...I just freaked out when I saw the cop.
You weren't running from the cop,
you were running from me and I'm your friend.
Then act like it!
(Beth Screams in pain)
Are you okay?
I told you it's my stomach!
I'm going to go get someone.
Help! Stop Lauren!
No, no, wait! Wait!
Just release me from these things
so I can go to the bathroom, huh?
(Beth weeps)
I don't know...
You know, I've seen way too many movies where the bad guys--
Would you rather me SHIT all over this bed instead?!
Okay, okay...don't make me regret this.
(Beth groans in pain)
(Beth groans in pain)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
Are you okay in there?
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
Are you feeling--?
(Beth moaning)
(Sounds of flatulence and defecation)
I'm going to call someone!
(Sounds of moaning and explosive defecation)
(Beth weeping)
(Beth Weeping)
(Beth weeping)
Miss?
Can I help you?
It's okay...
It's okay.
I'll stay right over here...
Right where God put me.
You ever think of that?
That were exactly where were supposed to be?
Im of the belief that everything happens for a reason.
Every sickness, every pain, every heartbreak.
Theyre all opportunities...
to either be crushed by the pressure
and allow your soul to become as dark as coal or...
...use the pressure to elevate you...
become a...
diamond...
...become... a...become...
What the hell?
(Screaming)
You don't want to do this.
You don't want to do this do you?
Please!
Lauren, no!
(Lauren growls)
(Sceaming)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Beth weeps)
(Fire alarm goes off)
(Phone vibrates)
(Door knocks)
Surprise!
Happy birthday, Beth!
...It's so good to see you.
And you have a knife, it's like you were expecting us.
Perfect, I'll bring in the cake.
It's your favorite! It's Chocolate!
