[Emilio] Hi there, um,
do you have five minutes
to spare?
[woman]
Only got, like, two?
-That's okay.
-[woman chuckles]
[Emilio] Um,
I just wanted to have a chat
if you know about us?
We're Project Aquarius and my
name is Emilio Mancia.
-Never heard of you.
-[Emilio] That's all good.
-Like Project Aquarius either.
-[Emilio] It's all good.
So, what we do,
pretty much,
is we're helping
our marine environment,
'cause it's dying.
All it takes is one
cup of tea per month
to help them survive.
-[woman] Per month?
-[Emilio] Yeah.
How does that sound?
You misspelled mail
M-A-L-E,
all right?
Okay.
Hey, Sierra.
You know that this job
has a quota, right?
Come on.
You're a Kiwi.
Talking to these people
should be easy for you.
[Emilio]
Buenas, buenas!
-[man] Hey!
-[Emilio] Hey, Sierra!
[speaking Spanish]
-[electronic music plays]
-[instructor] Let's go, fam.
Killing off. Ah, let's get it.
Whoo-hoo!
Da-da-da, hey!
Nice, nice! Keep it up,
keep it up! Hey, da-da-da-da.
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey. Hey. Hey.
Hey.
[humming]
-[instructor whoops]
-[everyone cheers]
Awesome.
Good job, everyone.
Just remember,
we have open tryouts tomorrow
before the winter break.
So, bring something
cool to wear,
bring a friend
that might be interested,
and let's have fun.
-Let's go.
-[girls] Thank you!
[instructor]
Thanks, guys.
[elevator dinging]
[man] Hey, Peter, we need
to let somebody know that--
[Peter] Appreciate your help.
[man] So, um, make sure
there's somebody at the airport
waiting for you, all right?
If you could give us
some contact details,
that would be great.
[Brie] Sort it out.
[Peter]
It's gonna get sorted now.
[man] Okay, ready?
Let's go now.
[device beeps]
Your flatmate home?
I invited her
to my end of semester party.
You dropped out, right?
Mm-hmm.

Putting myself on display
One, two, three a day,
I'm on my way, on my way

I'mma have you on tiptoes
Watchin'

I know
you want to take me home
I'm on my way,

Hi guys, I'm Selena.
Hi, everyone.
I'm Pete.
We'll be learning
OMW today.
-[Sierra's mother] Hello?
-Mom?
Sierra, is that you?
Yeah.
-[baby cooing over phone]
-What's up? I'm-- I'm-- I'm--
You've kinda caught--
caught me at a bad time,
I'm just
bath-- bathing baby Fion.
[sobbing]
Okay. How is he?
-[sniffling]
-He's fine. Hey, co-- come on.
Are you--
are you crying, pup?
No. It's just...
[sniffling]
Mom, I'm just really--
I've kind of got my hands
pretty full right now.
You know, is it-- I mean,
is it-- is it-- is it urgent?
[emotional music]
[exhaling deeply]
[sheets rustling]
[cars rumble past]
[woman laughing]
[woman] What a crazy old hag!
[laughing]
-[water sloshing]
-[washing machine whirs]
[cars rumbling past]
I'd like to register.
My name
is Natalie Morris.
What?
[speaking Spanish]
No,
Natalie is my name.
Do you want my name,
or not?
Sierra, go on.
Take a break. Okay?
Go.
Sorry,
she's not feeling well.
Can I help you?
What is your full name?
-Natalie Morris.
-Nice to meet you, Natalie.
Sierra?
[snaps]
Sierra! Are you okay?
I'm gonna need you
to do a drug test
and a full medical check.
Do you understand?
[people chattering]
[car rumbles by]
[doctor] Sierra?
How're you feeling?
This says you're feeling--
what's this?
"Nosomna"?
I can't sleep.
Ah, you mean insomnia.
That's rough.
And your work's requested this,
correct?
Okay.
Your urine sample
is being sent to the lab,
and the results
will come here.
If there's anything to pass on,
we'll pass it on to you.
Cool?
[mints rattling in bottle]
Okay.
Let's start by checking
the sensation in your face.
I'm going to touch your cheek
and your forehead,
and you let me know
if you feel anything.
Okay?
Close your eyes.
How does this feel?
Okay.
[doctor sucking on mint]
[doctor] And here?
Yes.
And here?
-Yes.
-Okay.
You can open up
your eyes now.
I'm just
going to check your ears.
Any tenderness here?
[doctor sucking loudly on mint]
No.
And here?
[Sierra] No.
[doctor] What about here?
[Sierra] No.
[mint tinkling against teeth]
[doctor] I'm just
going to look inside.
Sierra?
Sierra?
Sierra?
You fell asleep for nearly
three and a half hours.
None of us could wake you.
Sometimes insomnia
can be brought on
by trauma.
Have you got anything
in your life
that's stressful
or disturbing lately?
No.
[doctor]
Have you got any idea
what might have made you
fall asleep just now?
Um, maybe the sound
of this room?
The sound?
Mm-hmm.
Like what?
Uh, like,
the sound of the mint.
The mint?
The mint in your mouth.
The sound of the mint
made you relax?
Sierra,
have you heard of ASMR?
It's short for autonomous
sensory meridian response.
It's a tingling sensation
that's usually triggered
by a range of sounds.
Rain, whispering,
people eating.
It can help people relax and
sometimes get them to sleep.
Have you got any sounds
that make you relax?
I like the sound
of the laundry.
[doctor] Does it make you
go to sleep?
-Sometimes.
-Okay.
What I think
you're dealing with is,
yes, a severe cast
of insomnia.
Now,
there are plenty of remedies
to help assist,
like exercise,
diet, meditation,
which I encourage you
to still do.
But from what you've told me,
and from what I've just seen,
I'd like you
to check out this app.
[whispering] ASMR...
My wife uses it
all the time.
Look, it's--
it's not a cure, but...
it'll help you get
some shut eye for now.
[keyboard clacking softly]
[knocking on door]
-[door creaks open]
-Hi.
-Um, is your internet working?
-[Tucker speaking on phone]
Uh, yep.
Oh, mine just went,
and I've got a date tonight
with Tucker.
It's a movie date at mine.
Get it?
So, mind giving me
your password?
Be a late neighborly pal,
if that's what you want.
Okay.
It's mercy-jpg.
[Brie] That's it?
-Yep. Mm-hmm.
-Thanking you.
Come on.

[performer] They taste
pretty good as well.
Smell that. Yeah. Okay.
Here we go.

I'm the chicken champ.
-Mm.
-[meat squelching]
[chews loudly] Mm.
[chewing loudly]
Mm, so moist.
Look at that. Mm.
[mouse clicks]
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful
inside and out.
We don't tell ourselves
that enough.
I've been on this
healing journey of mine.
[wrapper cracking]
And I've been trying
to manifest
all the things
I wish to change
about my life.
And one of those things
is to say
nicer things to myself.
How's that?
Sorry if I sound
a bit crazy.
I just--
I just realized
how powerful prayer is.
Not like
religious prayer, but to...
to manifest.
[crunching]
To dream.
You're all capable
of being the best person...
[calm music plays]
...that you dream of.
You just need to tell yourself
what you want
and it will come true.
God,
I hope I don't sound like
one of my old lecturers.
Okay.
Why don't we get this starter?
-[machine beeping]
-Here.
Oh! Thank you, Mousey.
What a cute name.
And you chose me.
Thank you so much, Mousey.
That practically makes us
best friends.
Now...
close your eyes.
And listen.
[Kate sharply inhales]
[breathing deeply]
Listen and breathe.
Imagine your whole day
falling away.

[shower running]
[Sierra] Shit.
-[Wayne] Yeah?
-Wayne?
Yeah? Who's this?
Is Mom there?
It's Sierra.
[Sierra's mom] Hello?
Mom,
can I please come home?
[Sierra's mom scoffs]
Um...
-Well--
-Well?
[exhaling] It's--
it's not really
the best time
at the moment,
I don't think.
But, you know,
I mean-- also
there's a bunch
of storage stuff in your room.
[alert ringing]
[Kate]
Hi, everyone.
I'm just going
to turn on some rain
I recorded last week.
-Yeah.
-[rain pattering]
Yeah, that sounds great,
doesn't it?
Now,
how are we all tonight?
[Kate chuckling]
Aw, and Mousey,
you made it back.
Yay.
Isn't it beautiful
when someone
you haven't seen for so long
is able to be...
open with you?
Because they trust you.
I think
it's been really helpful,
as well,
to explore open relationships
during this time.
But I...
wanted to ask you all
what you are doing
these holidays?
Oh, yeah, no.
Yeah,
most of you are going away.
I'm jealous.
And what about you,
Mousey?
I see you're local.
Come on, don't be shy.
What are you up to
these holidays?
[chuckling]
Oh, you're so sweet.
That's what I love
about coming on here.
There's always
someone to talk to.
And you guys
have always been
so lovely towards me.
[rain pattering]
Thank you all so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
[gentle kissing noises]
Thank you.
I couldn't do this
without you all.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir.
Would you like to hear about--
Hi, would you like to hear
about Project Aqu--
Excuse me, miss.
Uh, do you know much
about Project Aquarius?
-Um, is it about the coast?
-Yes, that's right.
And did you know
that over 90% of our coastlines
are currently being overfished
by commercial fishing boats?
Um, it's so bad
so that-- and it's estimated
that in 50 years,
we'll lose half our fish.
-Oh, God. That's not good.
-No, it's not.
So, at Project Aquarius, um,
we are after, uh,
committed people
to help us, uh, create
marine reserves
to help protect our ocean life
for future generations,
and you look like someone
who'd be committed to
protecting our marine life,
-right?
-Yes.
Great.
-Would you like to sign up?
-Yeah, sure.
-Cool.
-Perfect, thank you so much,
and you'll receive
a confirmation e-mail shortly.
Thank you for helping us
protect our marine life.
You're welcome.
Well, see you later.
-Have a good day.
-You too, bye.
Thank you.
[indistinct chattering]
[Tucker] Aw,
everything is vegetarian.
What happened
to beef, you know?
[Brie] Right? What--
I don't wanna fuckin' eat plant
-when I can have meat.
-[Tucker] No, it's sickenly.
Sickenly. I can't--
I have a little bit of that,
it's been going down recently--
-[Sierra] Hi.
-[Tucker] Recently... Hi.
How was your movie night?
Excuse me?
Your-- your movie night
the other night?
How was it?
Um, sorry, I think
you've maybe mistaken me
for someone else?
[neighbor humming]
-Want some?
-[Tucker] I'm okay.
-Do you know her?
-[Brie] No.
[Tucker] Weird.
Is that, like,
a sales tactic.
[Brie] Maybe.
[Tucker] I don't like
that much, I have to say.
[washing machines whirring]
I want to try
something new tonight
and go on an adventure.
How about... the beach?
[waves crashing]
Hmm.
Or...
or a wintery cabin?
-[fire crackling]
-Mm.
Or shall we do...
an apartment in Paris?
I'd just love to go back.
What do you all think?
Okay,
it seems we're all even.
Mousey says,
"How about we get off
this planet?"
That would be nice.
To just drift away
into space.
Yes. Let's do that.
[calm music plays]
[Kate gasping softly]
Okay.
Now...
I want you all
to close your eyes.
And relax all the muscles
in your face and should--
[alarm bleeping]
[indistinct chatter]
Yes?
-You used up all my internet.
-Did I?
Yours is back.
Well, yeah.
Mine only went out for,
like, an hour.
-[Tucker] Who's that?
-No one.
[Tucker] All right,
well, everything's finished
downloading, so get in here.
Have a good night.
[sighing]

bed creaking through wall]
[Tucker moaning pleasurably]
[Tucker and neighbor moaning]
[app beeps]
[light clicks]
[keyboard clacking]
[computer chimes]
[light clicking off]
Well,
hello there, Mousey.
I see
an outline of someone.
Why don't you show yourself,
Mouse?
[Sierra whispering] Okay.
[light clicking]
Not the talking type?
That's all right.
I like silence, too.
I had a teacher once
who told me
that I was fluent
in silence.
-Everything okay, Mouse?
-It's Sierra.
-Sierra?
-My name. It's Sierra.
Oh. Sierra.
Sierra...
Spanish for mountain.
-Um, more like car.
-What?
Uh, Ford Sierra. The car.
My mom named me
after her car.
Your mom named you
after her car?
Yeah, she had this Ford Sierra
that she liked.
I'm sure
it was a very beautiful car.
And my sister
was called Mazda.
[both laughing]
Well, um--
Well, I'm Kate.
Kate.
You missed
a good session tonight.
I just wanted to see
whether you were okay.
I like to check that
all my followers are okay.
Uh, yeah, I just--
I have this neighbor.
Um...
She's, um...
She's what?
She took my internet.
She took your internet?
Well, I mean,
I-- I gave her the password,
but yeah.
And that's enough
to keep you up at...
2:20 in the morning?
Uh, yeah.
She's, um... I don't know.
Well, you've got me
on a cliff-hanger now.
Why don't you
tell me about it?
Okay.
Um, I met her
at orientation day
when I moved here
six months ago.
I saw her the other day
with her boyfriend.
And, um, I think she pretended
not to know who I was.
She seems to be friendly when--
when we're alone.
Just-- I get confused
about her.
Hm.
Well, I have to ask,
do you...
do you even
want to be her friend?
'Cause people like that,
they don't--
they don't care about anyone
other than themselves.
I don't know,
I think...
I think she called
immigration on someone
who lives here as well.
What?
That-- that's racist.
I hate racists.
No, you can't--
you can't connect
with people like that.
But that's-- that's not
a fault of your own.
You know, they just...
They're not worth it.
You don't want to be
anything like them, do you?
-[quietly] No.
-No?
Hey, I don't often do this
with my followers,
but would you wanna
meet sometime?
What?
Not to be weird
or anything.
I just thought--
I thought that, um,
because you missed
tonight's session and all,
and, you know, like me,
you're all alone in the city
and during the holiday,
and I thought we could just
go somewhere sometime
and hang out.
But now I realize
it was really weird of me
to ask that.
Maybe I'm being too forward.
Sorry.
-I shouldn't have said--
-No.
Um, yes-- no.
I didn't mean-- yes.
Sorry, I just--
I get confused.
Great!
How about this week?
Sure!
Cool.
I'll send you an invite, then.
It was... really nice
talking with you, Sierra.
-Sleep well.
-Yeah. Thanks.
[dreamy electronic music]
[footsteps approaching]
Sierra-- Sierra.
Sierra!
Hey. Oh, my gosh.
You weren't going to
stand me up, were you?
No. I just, um...
I just thought
I forgot something.
Oh, well,
what was it?
Nothing, um,
it's okay.
-Are you sure?
-Yep.
Cool. Okay.
Well, we should probably
try and catch the next one.
Um, I was thinking
that when we arrive there,
we could go for a little walk
around the grass
-and-- and do some recording.
-[ship horn blows]
Um, I've been really wanting
to take the ferry for a while.
And I thought
it's a good time, so...
I hope you don't mind, I got
tickets for the both of us.
[birds chirping]
Shh.
[grass rustling]
[gentle, sweeping music]
[waves lapping]
You should get in.
The water's great.
-I am all right.
-You not a swimming type?
No, I just--
I've never learned.
Really?
We used to go
at Christmas time,
but, um, we just stopped.
I couldn't do that.
I need to be in the water.
It's like another world
when you dive in,
where nothing
can bother you.
So, how come you didn't
go back to your parents'
this holidays?
Um, there's just
not really much there.
Is that
why you moved up here?
-Yeah?
-To study.
Oh, at the uni?
At this, uh,
polytech place.
It was, um,
a course on hospitality.
I thought maybe
about becoming a barista.
But I hate coffee
and I can't spell.
So, I dropped out.
[Kate]
I've dropped courses, too.
Did you study ASMR?
No. God, no.
I mean...
that's just
been my online stuff.
No,
I studied law at first.
[sniffing]
Which I hated.
So, I did a complete 180
and went into massage therapy.
Which was okay.
But eventually
I got bored of that, too.
Um, ASMR is...
okay.
It's nice.
Nice for now.
It allows me
to work from home
and I get
a little bit of money from it.
I wanted more freedom
and I can have that
with ASMR.
[waves crashing]
It's not forever,
but it works for now.
I like it, too.
What about
where you work?
I work for this charity.
Do you like it there?
No.
Not really.
You have
any friends there?
Sierra?
Hey.
I don't really have
any friends.
Oh. Mousey.
[emotional music plays]
It's okay.
Here.
Here, lay down.
Yeah, lay down.
I've got you.
There. Mm-hmm.
There.
Let me take you
somewhere else.
Close your eyes.
Listen.
Let's drift away together.
Far away.
Breathe.
[waves crashing]
Kate?
[tense music playing]
Kate?
-[Kate grunts]
-[Sierra coughs]
[Kate] You're okay,
you're okay, but, uh...
[Sierra wheezing]
[Kate]
What were you doing out there?
I was looking for you.
[wheezing]
[tender music]
[shoes squeak]
[synthesizer music plays]
[Sierra] Where did you find it?
One of my friends makes music,
they sent it to me.
It's pretty catchy, eh?
[Sierra] Do you think it works?
Like, um--
like, to get ladies?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'd say so.
[chuckling] I mean,
who wouldn't want
a bite of Partyboi69?
What's he saying?
[indistinct lyrics]
"You gotta be dirty
to be clean."
[both laughing]
You can choose the next one.
Oh, okay.
So, your flatmate's away?
Uh, yeah.
["OMW"
by Jane & The Boy playing]
OMW, on my way to you
Good at what I do, OMW
What's this?
It's this K-pop dancer
that I watch.
-K-pop?
-Mm.
I've been trying
to learn the dance.
[Kate] You watch K-pop?
Uh, yeah.
I know
you wanna take me home
I'm on my way,
on my way
OMW,

OMW, OMW
-On my way to you

Good at what I do
I'm OM--
[music stops]
-Are you okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Great.
Sorry,
it's just-- um...
well,
I don't know if you could tell,
but my family's Korean.
And...
I mean,
they-- they don't live here.
And they don't really...
K-pop's weird for me.
It's sort of like...
this ongoing reminder
of how everyone sees Korea,
and I don't even get to--
[sniffles]
But, you know, it's my problem
and not yours, so...
You can put it back on,
if you like.
No, it's okay.
We can watch something else.
Really?
[lighthearted music playing]
Thanks.
[soft piano music starts]
[panting]
I-- I-- I'm just trying
to help.
-Are you okay?
-Fuck off!
[Sierra] It's okay.
Brie...
Are you okay?
Tucker left me.
[crying]
[exhales] He left me
for somebody else.
It's o-- it's okay.
It'll be okay.
We could go back
to my place and I--
I can make us
some smoothies.
Yeah?
[blender whirring]
Here.
It's banana-chocolate.
-I'm sorry about Tucker.
-Why?
You don't even know me.
He was going to take me
to their holiday house.
Now I'm stuck here
like some...
You're not from around here,
are you?
Me, too.
[truck rumbling by]
[knocking on door]
-Hey, hey.
-Hi.
Come on in!
Ah, good to see you.
Welcome.
Make yourself at home.
-[door shuts]
-You have a really cool place.
Thanks, yeah.
It's always changing.
-It's really colorful.
-Yeah, hey,
I was thinking, um,
we could do
something fun tonight.
[Sierra] Like what?
Like,
maybe we could do a stream.
-On your channel?
-Yeah.
I'm not very good
on camera.
Well, this'll be good.
We can do it together.
Yeah. Trust me.
It'll be great.
[pensive music starts]
[talking softly]
I want to introduce you all
to a very beautiful
friend of mine.
Some of you
may already know her,
but tonight
she's showing the world
who she truly is.
Say hello, Mousey.
[talking softly]
Hi, everyone.
Isn't she beautiful?
Tonight,
we're going to be doing
-some...
-[paper crinkling]
...[indistinct] sounds.
And some other
sounds for you.
[food crunching and crackling]
Bring it up and down.
Try and think of...
breathing... in time...
with the sounds.
Nice and slow.

-Hey.
-[Kate] Ah, ah.
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, everyone, this is Sierra.
-[Yui] Hi.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-[Kate] And this is Alex.
-Alex, nice to meet you.
-[Sierra] Hi.
-[Kate] Ravi.
-[Ravi] Hey.
You're Kate's
new project, ah?
-Ravi.
-What?
You guys are streaming
together, right?
Lucky you.
Oh,
so you stream with her? Kate?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, so you're, like,
an ASMR artist, right?
Oh, no.
We just did one duet.
Oh, uh,
so what do you do?
I feel like I've seen you
before. Do you work in, like,
retail, are you--
-[Sierra] No.
-Do you work at a restaurant?
Ah, no.
I-- I work for a charity.
-[Yui] Oh, okay.
-Well.
[Ravi] You've been promising me
I'd be on your channel
for what now, a year?
Yes. Well,
it'll happen eventually.
-You know I'm good for it.
-Yes, of course.
I feel like you look
really familiar.
[Kate]
Guys, maybe we should walk?
[Ravi] Let's go!
[Kate] We'll get you
on the stream soon enough.
[Ravi] Okay. Okay.
[Alex] You can go
when the law
-stops coming after you.
-Alex!
-Here we go.
-The law?
Don't listen,
he's full of shit.
Yeah?
What is it,
five months without a visa?
-Oh, my God.
-Who's counting?
What'd he do?
Nothing,
he's just being stupid.
[ominously]
He's an over-stayer.
-Alex.
-Now, that's just nasty.
Come on, it's true.
-Tell her, Ravi.
-Don't listen to him.
Okay, fine.
I'll tell her.
Essentially,
he applied for a visa
that never came through,
so he just stayed.
Right, Ravi?
It's just a technicality.
Besides, e-- energy
follows thought.
I'll be staying right here.
No getting rid of me.
Right, Kate?
Amen.
Borders
are bullshit anyway.
Yui,
have you got the tickets?
-Yeah.
-Well, then let's go.
Let's go! [laughing]
[techno music starts]
-Want one?
-What?
Want one?
Want to dance?
Okay.
Fucking see Shell?
Oh, my God, yes.
What was she wearing?
-Did you see that dress?
-Pretty gross.
Who the fuck invited her?
I don't know.
-No one?

-Want a hit?
-Okay.
It's watermelon-flavored.
It's nice.

going to tonight.
-Are we in?
-Yes.

Mm-hmm.
I just hate karaoke.
You shoulda told us!
No.
Didn't want to ruin
your guys' fun.
Here.
Take that.
Thanks.
[Kate sighing]
Do you ever feel like
you don't fit in anywhere?
Why are you
so nice to me?
Because you came
looking for me.
Even when you couldn't swim.
That was beautiful.

I decided to take

with-- mm,
with a very special friend.
[Ravi chuckles]
Um, and it was
just what I needed.
So, today I want
to introduce you to him.
Um...
And we're going to do
a duet.
And since I know you guys
all loved the last one...
why don't you
introduce yourself, Ravi?
Hello, everyone.
Uh, my name is--
[breathing heavily]
All right, so it seems like
the cheapest plan
that we have available
is the $10 one.
Are you okay with it?
[woman] I'll manage that.
[Emilio] Perfect.
I know that it sounds alarming,
but it's just
two coffees per month.
It's all good, eh?
Perfect, so let me

and I'll just get you to put
your details in, please.

Sierra.
Um, we just got in
this morning.
Are you--
are you okay?
I had lots of messages
on my phone.
So, you're with him now?
Let's talk outside.
I thought you knew.
Knew what?
Well, I'm non-monogamous.
What's non--
What's that?
It-- it means I...
I can't be
with just one person.
No, but we're together.
I-- I need more than that.
But that's not fair!
You left me alone for days.
I've been sick.
Sierra,
you-- you can't just--
rely on me
when you're feeling lonely.
I'm my own person,
I have my own needs.
I'm not always
going to be there for you
when you want me to.

Yes. He-- he did, yep.
Okay.
Let's go.

I'm so sorry, everyone.
I'm going to have to cancel

I, um-- I...
I just need some time...
to myself.

I've lost

I'm so sorry.
[Sierra] Kate.
Sierra.
Oh, I got these for you.
Oh.
Oh, here. Take them.
Thanks.
I saw your stream.
Are you okay?
It's Ravi.
Immigration came yesterday
and took him away.
Someone must have
called on him.
It's, like, he's been
in my life for three years
and now
he's never coming back.
Well,
maybe it's a good thing.
How is that a good thing?
It was you.
Yeah, now that--
We can be together.

but nothing to worry about.
How you sleeping? Better?

Well,
you look a lot better.
Okay, well,
I think you're good to go.
-I never spoke up.
-Sorry.
I watched my sister drown.
You okay?
I let her drown
and I didn't say anything.
I didn't call for help.
I mean,
that's why I couldn't sleep.
I left home
'cause I wanted to forget.
But I can't forget.
When did this happen?
Three years ago.
And where's your mom now?
Home.
Have you spoken to her
about this?
Am I a bad person?

No.
Well, what am I, then?

[doctor] Sierra?
How're you feeling?
This says you're feeling--
what's this?
"Nosomna"?
I can't sleep.
Ah, you mean insomnia.
That's rough.
And your work's requested this,
correct?
Okay.
Your urine sample
is being sent to the lab,
and the results
will come here.
If there's anything to pass on,
we'll pass it on to you.
Cool?
[mints rattling in bottle]
Okay.
Let's start by checking
the sensation in your face.
I'm going to touch your cheek
and your forehead,
and you let me know
if you feel anything.
Okay?
Close your eyes.
How does this feel?
Okay.
[doctor sucking on mint]
[doctor] And here?
Yes.
And here?
-Yes.
-Okay.
You can open up
your eyes now.
I'm just
going to check your ears.
Any tenderness here?
[doctor sucking loudly on mint]
No.
And here?
[Sierra] No.
[doctor] What about here?
[Sierra] No.
[mint tinkling against teeth]
[doctor] I'm just
going to look inside.
Sierra?
Sierra?
Sierra?
You fell asleep for nearly
three and a half hours.
None of us could wake you.
Sometimes insomnia
can be brought on
by trauma.
Have you got anything
in your life
that's stressful
or disturbing lately?
No.
[doctor]
Have you got any idea
what might have made you
fall asleep just now?
Um, maybe the sound
of this room?
The sound?
Mm-hmm.
Like what?
Uh, like,
the sound of the mint.
The mint?
The mint in your mouth.
The sound of the mint
made you relax?
Sierra,
have you heard of ASMR?
It's short for autonomous
sensory meridian response.
It's a tingling sensation
that's usually triggered
by a range of sounds.
Rain, whispering,
people eating.
It can help people relax and
sometimes get them to sleep.
Have you got any sounds
that make you relax?
I like the sound
of the laundry.
[doctor] Does it make you
go to sleep?
-Sometimes.
-Okay.
What I think
you're dealing with is,
yes, a severe cast
of insomnia.
Now,
there are plenty of remedies
to help assist,
like exercise,
diet, meditation,
which I encourage you
to still do.
But from what you've told me,
and from what I've just seen,
I'd like you
to check out this app.
[whispering] ASMR...
My wife uses it
all the time.
Look, it's--
it's not a cure, but...

I'm just going
to turn on some rain
I recorded last week.
-Yeah.
-[rain pattering]
Yeah, that sounds great,
doesn't it?
Now,
how are we all tonight?
[Kate chuckling]
Aw, and Mousey,
you made it back.
Yay.
Isn't it beautiful
when someone
you haven't seen for so long
is able to be...
open with you?
Because they trust you.
I think
it's been really helpful,
as well,
to explore open relationships
during this time.
But I...
wanted to ask you all
what you are doing
these holidays?
Oh, yeah, no.
Yeah,
most of you are going away.
I'm jealous.
And what about you,
Mousey?
I see you're local.
Come on, don't be shy.
What are you up to
these holidays?
[chuckling]
Oh, you're so sweet.
That's what I love
about coming on here.
There's always
someone to talk to.
And you guys
have always been
so lovely towards me.
[rain pattering]
Thank you all so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
[gentle kissing noises]
Thank you.
I couldn't do this
without you all.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir.
Would you like to hear about--
Hi, would you like to hear
about Project Aqu--
Excuse me, miss.
Uh, do you know much
about Project Aquarius?
-Um, is it about the coast?
-Yes, that's right.
And did you know
that over 90% of our coastlines
are currently being overfished
by commercial fishing boats?
Um, it's so bad
so that-- and it's estimated
that in 50 years,
we'll lose half our fish.
-Oh, God. That's not good.
-No, it's not.
So, at Project Aquarius, um,
we are after, uh,
committed people
to help us, uh, create
marine reserves
to help protect our ocean life
for future generations,
and you look like someone
who'd be committed to
protecting our marine life,
-right?
-Yes.
Great.
-Would you like to sign up?
-Yeah, sure.
-Cool.
-Perfect, thank you so much,
and you'll receive
a confirmation e-mail shortly.
Thank you for helping us
protect our marine life.
You're welcome.
Well, see you later.
-Have a good day.
-You too, bye.
Thank you.
[indistinct chattering]
[Tucker] Aw,
everything is vegetarian.
What happened
to beef, you know?
[Brie] Right? What--
I don't wanna fuckin' eat plant
-when I can have meat.
-[Tucker] No, it's sickenly.
Sickenly. I can't--
I have a little bit of that,
it's been going down recently--
-[Sierra] Hi.
-[Tucker] Recently... Hi.
How was your movie night?
Excuse me?
Your-- your movie night
the other night?
How was it?
Um, sorry, I think
you've maybe mistaken me
for someone else?
[neighbor humming]
-Want some?
-[Tucker] I'm okay.
-Do you know her?
-[Brie] No.
[Tucker] Weird.
Is that, like,
a sales tactic.
[Brie] Maybe.
[Tucker] I don't like
that much, I have to say.
[washing machines whirring]
I want to try
something new tonight
and go on an adventure.
How about... the beach?
[waves crashing]
Hmm.
Or...
or a wintery cabin?
-[fire crackling]
-Mm.
Or shall we do...
an apartment in Paris?
I'd just love to go back.
What do you all think?
Okay,
it seems we're all even.
Mousey says,
"How about we get off
this planet?"
That would be nice.
To just drift away
into space.
Yes. Let's do that.
[calm music plays]
[Kate gasping softly]
Okay.
Now...
I want you all
to close your eyes.
And relax all the muscles
in your face and should--
[alarm bleeping]
[indistinct chatter]
Yes?
-You used up all my internet.
-Did I?
Yours is back.
Well, yeah.
Mine only went out for,
like, an hour.
-[Tucker] Who's that?
-No one.
[Tucker] All right,
well, everything's finished
downloading, so get in here.
Have a good night.
[sighing]
[indistinct chatter,
bed creaking through wall]
[Tucker moaning pleasurably]
[Tucker and neighbor moaning]
[app beeps]
[light clicks]
[keyboard clacking]
[computer chimes]
[light clicking off]
Well,
hello there, Mousey.
I see
an outline of someone.
Why don't you show yourself,
Mouse?
[Sierra whispering] Okay.
[light clicking]
Not the talking type?
That's all right.
I like silence, too.
I had a teacher once
who told me
that I was fluent
in silence.
-Everything okay, Mouse?
-It's Sierra.
-Sierra?
-My name. It's Sierra.
Oh. Sierra.
Sierra...
Spanish for mountain.
-Um, more like car.
-What?
Uh, Ford Sierra. The car.
My mom named me
after her car.
Your mom named you
after her car?
Yeah, she had this Ford Sierra
that she liked.
I'm sure
it was a very beautiful car.
And my sister
was called Mazda.
[both laughing]
Well, um--
Well, I'm Kate.
Kate.
You missed
a good session tonight.
I just wanted to see
whether you were okay.
I like to check that
all my followers are okay.
Uh, yeah, I just--
I have this neighbor.
Um...
She's, um...
She's what?
She took my internet.
She took your internet?
Well, I mean,
I-- I gave her the password,
but yeah.
And that's enough
to keep you up at...
2:20 in the morning?
Uh, yeah.
She's, um... I don't know.
Well, you've got me
on a cliff-hanger now.
Why don't you
tell me about it?
Okay.
Um, I met her
at orientation day
when I moved here
six months ago.
I saw her the other day
with her boyfriend.
And, um, I think she pretended
not to know who I was.
She seems to be friendly when--
when we're alone.
Just-- I get confused
about her.
Hm.
Well, I have to ask,
do you...
do you even
want to be her friend?
'Cause people like that,
they don't--
they don't care about anyone
other than themselves.
I don't know,
I think...
I think she called
immigration on someone
who lives here as well.
What?
That-- that's racist.
I hate racists.
No, you can't--
you can't connect
with people like that.
But that's-- that's not
a fault of your own.
You know, they just...
They're not worth it.
You don't want to be
anything like them, do you?
-[quietly] No.
-No?
Hey, I don't often do this
with my followers,
but would you wanna
meet sometime?
What?
Not to be weird
or anything.
I just thought--
I thought that, um,
because you missed
tonight's session and all,
and, you know, like me,
you're all alone in the city
and during the holiday,
and I thought we could just
go somewhere sometime
and hang out.
But now I realize
it was really weird of me
to ask that.
Maybe I'm being too forward.
Sorry.
-I shouldn't have said--
-No.
Um, yes-- no.
I didn't mean-- yes.
Sorry, I just--
I get confused.
Great!
How about this week?
Sure!
Cool.
I'll send you an invite, then.
It was... really nice
talking with you, Sierra.
-Sleep well.
-Yeah. Thanks.
[dreamy electronic music]
[footsteps approaching]
Sierra-- Sierra.
Sierra!
Hey. Oh, my gosh.
You weren't going to
stand me up, were you?
No. I just, um...
I just thought
I forgot something.
Oh, well,
what was it?
Nothing, um,
it's okay.
-Are you sure?
-Yep.
Cool. Okay.
Well, we should probably
try and catch the next one.
Um, I was thinking
that when we arrive there,
we could go for a little walk
around the grass
-and-- and do some recording.
-[ship horn blows]
Um, I've been really wanting
to take the ferry for a while.
And I thought
it's a good time, so...
I hope you don't mind, I got
tickets for the both of us.
[birds chirping]
Shh.
[grass rustling]
[gentle, sweeping music]
[waves lapping]
You should get in.
The water's great.
-I am all right.
-You not a swimming type?
No, I just--
I've never learned.
Really?
We used to go
at Christmas time,
but, um, we just stopped.
I couldn't do that.
I need to be in the water.
It's like another world
when you dive in,
where nothing
can bother you.
So, how come you didn't
go back to your parents'
this holidays?
Um, there's just
not really much there.
Is that
why you moved up here?
-Yeah?
-To study.
Oh, at the uni?
At this, uh,
polytech place.
It was, um,
a course on hospitality.
I thought maybe
about becoming a barista.
But I hate coffee
and I can't spell.
So, I dropped out.
[Kate]
I've dropped courses, too.
Did you study ASMR?
No. God, no.
I mean...
that's just
been my online stuff.
No,
I studied law at first.
[sniffing]
Which I hated.
So, I did a complete 180
and went into massage therapy.
Which was okay.
But eventually
I got bored of that, too.
Um, ASMR is...
okay.
It's nice.
Nice for now.
It allows me
to work from home
and I get
a little bit of money from it.
I wanted more freedom
and I can have that
with ASMR.
[waves crashing]
It's not forever,
but it works for now.
I like it, too.
What about
where you work?
I work for this charity.
Do you like it there?
No.
Not really.
You have
any friends there?
Sierra?
Hey.
I don't really have
any friends.
Oh. Mousey.
[emotional music plays]
It's okay.
Here.
Here, lay down.
Yeah, lay down.
I've got you.
There. Mm-hmm.
There.
Let me take you
somewhere else.
Close your eyes.
Listen.
Let's drift away together.
Far away.
Breathe.
[waves crashing]
Kate?
[tense music playing]
Kate?
-[Kate grunts]
-[Sierra coughs]
[Kate] You're okay,
you're okay, but, uh...
[Sierra wheezing]
[Kate]
What were you doing out there?
I was looking for you.
[wheezing]
[tender music]
[shoes squeak]
[synthesizer music plays]
[Sierra] Where did you find it?
One of my friends makes music,
they sent it to me.
It's pretty catchy, eh?
[Sierra] Do you think it works?
Like, um--
like, to get ladies?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'd say so.
[chuckling] I mean,
who wouldn't want
a bite of Partyboi69?
What's he saying?
[indistinct lyrics]
"You gotta be dirty
to be clean."
[both laughing]
You can choose the next one.
Oh, okay.
So, your flatmate's away?
Uh, yeah.
["OMW"
by Jane & The Boy playing]
OMW, on my way to you
Good at what I do, OMW
What's this?
It's this K-pop dancer
that I watch.
-K-pop?
-Mm.
I've been trying
to learn the dance.
[Kate] You watch K-pop?
Uh, yeah.
I know
you wanna take me home
I'm on my way,
on my way
OMW,

[door shuts]
OMW, OMW
-On my way to you
-[toilet flushing]
Good at what I do
I'm OM--
[music stops]
-Are you okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Great.
Sorry,
it's just-- um...
well,
I don't know if you could tell,
but my family's Korean.
And...
I mean,
they-- they don't live here.
And they don't really...
K-pop's weird for me.
It's sort of like...
this ongoing reminder
of how everyone sees Korea,
and I don't even get to--
[sniffles]
But, you know, it's my problem
and not yours, so...
You can put it back on,
if you like.
No, it's okay.
We can watch something else.
Really?
[lighthearted music playing]
Thanks.
[soft piano music starts]
[panting]
I-- I-- I'm just trying
to help.
-Are you okay?
-Fuck off!
[Sierra] It's okay.
Brie...
Are you okay?
Tucker left me.
[crying]
[exhales] He left me
for somebody else.
It's o-- it's okay.
It'll be okay.
We could go back
to my place and I--
I can make us
some smoothies.
Yeah?
[blender whirring]
Here.
It's banana-chocolate.
-I'm sorry about Tucker.
-Why?
You don't even know me.
He was going to take me
to their holiday house.
Now I'm stuck here
like some...
You're not from around here,
are you?
Me, too.
[truck rumbling by]
[knocking on door]
-Hey, hey.
-Hi.
Come on in!
Ah, good to see you.
Welcome.
Make yourself at home.
-[door shuts]
-You have a really cool place.
Thanks, yeah.
It's always changing.
-It's really colorful.
-Yeah, hey,
I was thinking, um,
we could do
something fun tonight.
[Sierra] Like what?
Like,
maybe we could do a stream.
-On your channel?
-Yeah.
I'm not very good
on camera.
Well, this'll be good.
We can do it together.
Yeah. Trust me.
It'll be great.
[pensive music starts]
[talking softly]
I want to introduce you all
to a very beautiful
friend of mine.
Some of you
may already know her,
but tonight
she's showing the world
who she truly is.
Say hello, Mousey.
[talking softly]
Hi, everyone.
Isn't she beautiful?
Tonight,
we're going to be doing
-some...
-[paper crinkling]
...[indistinct] sounds.
And some other
sounds for you.
[food crunching and crackling]
Bring it up and down.
Try and think of...
breathing... in time...
with the sounds.
Nice and slow.
[inaudible]
-Kate!
-[both laughing]
-Hey.
-[Kate] Ah, ah.
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, everyone, this is Sierra.
-[Yui] Hi.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-[Kate] And this is Alex.
-Alex, nice to meet you.
-[Sierra] Hi.
-[Kate] Ravi.
-[Ravi] Hey.
You're Kate's
new project, ah?
-Ravi.
-What?
You guys are streaming
together, right?
Lucky you.
Oh,
so you stream with her? Kate?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, so you're, like,
an ASMR artist, right?
Oh, no.
We just did one duet.
Oh, uh,
so what do you do?
I feel like I've seen you
before. Do you work in, like,
retail, are you--
-[Sierra] No.
-Do you work at a restaurant?
Ah, no.
I-- I work for a charity.
-[Yui] Oh, okay.
-Well.
[Ravi] You've been promising me
I'd be on your channel
for what now, a year?
Yes. Well,
it'll happen eventually.
-You know I'm good for it.
-Yes, of course.
I feel like you look
really familiar.
[Kate]
Guys, maybe we should walk?
[Ravi] Let's go!
[Kate] We'll get you
on the stream soon enough.
[Ravi] Okay. Okay.
[Alex] You can go
when the law
-stops coming after you.
-Alex!
-Here we go.
-The law?
Don't listen,
he's full of shit.
Yeah?
What is it,
five months without a visa?
-Oh, my God.
-Who's counting?
What'd he do?
Nothing,
he's just being stupid.
[ominously]
He's an over-stayer.
-Alex.
-Now, that's just nasty.
Come on, it's true.
-Tell her, Ravi.
-Don't listen to him.
Okay, fine.
I'll tell her.
Essentially,
he applied for a visa
that never came through,
so he just stayed.
Right, Ravi?
It's just a technicality.
Besides, e-- energy
follows thought.
I'll be staying right here.
No getting rid of me.
Right, Kate?
Amen.
Borders
are bullshit anyway.
Yui,
have you got the tickets?
-Yeah.
-Well, then let's go.
Let's go! [laughing]
[techno music starts]
-Want one?
-What?
Want one?
Want to dance?
Okay.
Fucking see Shell?
Oh, my God, yes.
What was she wearing?
-Did you see that dress?
-Pretty gross.
Who the fuck invited her?
I don't know.
-No one?
-[both laughing]
[melodic
music playing]
[music fades]
-Want a hit?
-Okay.
It's watermelon-flavored.
It's nice.
-[Alex] Yui!
-Yeah.
I have decided
on the next venue
where we will be
going to tonight.
-Are we in?
-Yes.
[Alex] Are we in? Excellent.
All right. Come on.
Alley-oop!
[romantic music playing on TV]
[both vocalizing]
Yeah
What do you want
from me?
What are you waiting for
Girl, you don't know,
I live for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Are you justified
Leaving me, oh,
this way
[Kate sniffing]
[singing continues faintly]
[sniffing]
[clears throat]
[breathing heavily]
[sniffs]
[muffled singing continues]
There'll be bitter tears
That's all
you left behind here
I see you every time I try
to close my eyes
[slapping on table]
[man speaking Korean]
[man continues in Korean]
[Kate speaking Korean]
Happy memories
and souvenirs
There'll be bitter tears
That's all you left
behind here
I see him every time I...
[Sierra] Kate?
Hey. [sniffles]
[Sierra] Are you okay?
Mm-hmm.
I just hate karaoke.
You shoulda told us!
No.
Didn't want to ruin
your guys' fun.
Here.
Take that.
Thanks.
[Kate sighing]
Do you ever feel like
you don't fit in anywhere?
Why are you
so nice to me?
Because you came
looking for me.
Even when you couldn't swim.
That was beautiful.
[tender electronic music
playing]
Let's get out of here.
Okay.
[music fades]
Wait.
Stay with me?

[Kate] Hello, everyone.
Um, and sorry for...
the radio silence.
It's been
an impulsive kind of week.
[laughing]
I decided to take
a digital detox
and go on a vacation
with-- mm,
with a very special friend.
[Ravi chuckles]
Um, and it was
just what I needed.
So, today I want
to introduce you to him.
Um...
And we're going to do
a duet.
And since I know you guys
all loved the last one...
why don't you
introduce yourself, Ravi?
Hello, everyone.
Uh, my name is--
[breathing heavily]
All right, so it seems like
the cheapest plan
that we have available
is the $10 one.
Are you okay with it?
[woman] I'll manage that.
[Emilio] Perfect.
I know that it sounds alarming,
but it's just
two coffees per month.
It's all good, eh?
Perfect, so let me
just select it for you,
and I'll just get you to put
your details in, please.
Thank you.
[tense music playing]
[music intensifying]
-[music stops]
-Now one as well here?
Um, yeah, so you just put
your surname right there.
All right.
Thank you so much.
That's all good.
Have a great day.
-You too. See ya.
-See ya.
Sierra?
[banging on door]
Sierra.
Um, we just got in
this morning.
Are you--
are you okay?
I had lots of messages
on my phone.
So, you're with him now?
Let's talk outside.
I thought you knew.
Knew what?
Well, I'm non-monogamous.
What's non--
What's that?
It-- it means I...
I can't be
with just one person.
No, but we're together.
I-- I need more than that.
But that's not fair!
You left me alone for days.
I've been sick.
Sierra,
you-- you can't just--
rely on me
when you're feeling lonely.
I'm my own person,
I have my own needs.
I'm not always
going to be there for you
when you want me to.
[tense music playing]
I mean,
doesn't that make sense?
Sierra?

Sorry for...

Are you all right?
Sierra?
Did you call immigration
on that student?
[printer humming]
And how do you know him?
Um, I went
on a night out with him.
And did he tell you
that he was illegally here?
Yes. He-- he did, yep.
Okay.
Let's go.
[door shuts]
[sighs shakily]
[sirens wailing

[Kate sobbing]
I'm so sorry, everyone.
I'm going to have to cancel
this week's streams
because it's been...
it's been
a messy few days.
I, um-- I...
I just need some time...
to myself.
[sobbing]
I've lost
someone dear to me.
I'm so sorry.
[Sierra] Kate.
Sierra.
Oh, I got these for you.
Oh.
Oh, here. Take them.
Thanks.
I saw your stream.
Are you okay?
It's Ravi.
Immigration came yesterday
and took him away.
Someone must have
called on him.
It's, like, he's been
in my life for three years
and now
he's never coming back.
Well,
maybe it's a good thing.
How is that a good thing?
It was you.
Yeah, now that--
We can be together.

You're just like

but nothing to worry about.
How you sleeping? Better?

Well,
you look a lot better.
Okay, well,
I think you're good to go.
-I never spoke up.
-Sorry.
I watched my sister drown.
You okay?
I let her drown
and I didn't say anything.
I didn't call for help.
I mean,
that's why I couldn't sleep.
I left home
'cause I wanted to forget.
But I can't forget.
When did this happen?
Three years ago.
And where's your mom now?
Home.
Have you spoken to her
about this?
Am I a bad person?
[doctor sighing]
No.
Well, what am I, then?
You're just like
everybody else.
Trying to make sense
of losing someone.
It's not easy.

[Sierra] Mom wanted me
to stay this time.
But things have changed.

Because in your silence,
I'll find my voice.
And in your eyes...
I'll find my love.

["Sweet Disorder"
by Paul Casserly]
Everybody's sleeping
Under my skin
Never quite believing
And so it begins
Someone gets elected
And a satellite falls
Are we reaching
some conclusions
Or just talking
to the wall?
And I, I never knew
What it was
that we had left to prove
And such a sweet disorder
Such a change to find
And the way
you touch me
Never thought
that I would find out
Everybody's sleeping
So, I close my eyes
Your breath,
I am receivin'
I feel you sigh
Someone gets rejected
And a satellite falls
Everything
that makes sense
And then
nothing at all, yeah
Such a sweet disorder
Such a change to find
