Something Undone (2023) s01e08 Episode Script

Make Yourselves Clean

(birds chirping)
I'm heading out today.
Our neighbour christina
runs a place on the island.
She's giving me a tour.
Really?
Yeah, it's a resort-type
thing called genesis.
You know, yoga and meditation,
that sort of thing.
Farid:
That's really great, jo.
That's So great.
I'm glad you're doing that.
Calm down.
It's just a tour.
(gasping)
What?
Nothing.
What?
You seem good today.
(sighing)
I like it here.
Yeah?
Thank you.
Christina's invited us
over for dinner tonight.
Is that okay?
You can see their house.
It's wild.
Yeah, that sounds nice.
Oh.
My aunt's sending me
a package.
Just some stuff
I left behind at my mom's.
What kind of stuff?
I don't know.
A couple of shirts, a hat,
a box of odds and ends.
Just text me
when it gets here, yeah?
Ah, I'm thinking of
heading out today too.
Where are you going?
Farmer's market.


Morning.
How'd you sleep?
What's this?
Breakfast.
For who?
Hop in.
I thought we were talking.
It's 25 minutes away,
there's plenty of time to talk.
Farid:
I'd rather talk here.
Pastor: You were going to
give me a chance.
Wasn't that the deal?
Come on.
(truck door closing)
I don't bite.
Christina: It was a year
before I got off my meds,
And I had just returned from
shamanic training in peru,
And I am utterly weightless.
And I found myself staring out
at this beautiful desert vista,
Surrounded by open-minded,
kind people,
With this overflowing desire
to befriend my trauma.
And I thought to myself,
Everyone should have
access to this feeling.
It would change the world.
Is it free?
No, god, no.
(laughing) no.
Neil and I spent
a fortune on this place.
He did all the financing.
He owned several
nightclubs in toronto
Before he gave up coke
and needed a fresh start.
Yeah, we were hemorrhaging
money for a while,
And it was hard,
but we never gave up.
And now, our investors want us
to open a sister site in baja.
Oh, hello, darling.
Hey.
We are helping her with her
end-of-life transition.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
I thought this was just -
I don't know -
like a wellness retreat.
- It's a centre for healing.
- Oh.
See, we use
different modalities,
Depending on the individual,
which basically compresses
Years of therapy
into several weeks.
And we also pride
ourselves on offering
A cutting-edge medical clinic
That provides full blood work
and custom treatment plans.
We grow all of our
own food on site,
With a strict protocol to
cleanse the system of toxins.
The saunas and
ice baths are open 24-7 for
Self-guided work,
and this
Is the hub.
It's where our
team leads more of our
Programmed healing efforts,
both group and individual.
(harmonized vocalizing)
Tibetan pulsing.
It's a somatic group therapy
That loosens trauma
stored in the body.
(harmonized vocalizing)
- Come.
- (harmonized vocalizing)
(harmonized vocalizing)
(percussive electronic
music playing)
Tatiana,
This is jo.
Jo.
Hello.
(percussive electronic
music playing)
Hi.
Welcome to genesis.
Thank you.
It's so
Uh Wow.
- Do you like the music?
- Mmm.
Our international djs
curate the playlist
In solfeggio frequency -
the healing resonance.
Oh.
Everything is designed
in a frequency
To regulate
the nervous system.
Jo isn't staying with us,
but I would really love
For her to partake in
some of our treatments.
I'll make you a file.
Thanks.
(screaming)
Oh, it's primal scream
therapy with diego.
I'll get you in.
You'll die
And be reborn.
Um,
can I get something to drink?
Tatiana:
Of course! Help yourself!
Oh, the tea
is micro-dosed.
Highly recommend.
It'll help.
(percussive electronic
music playing)

(country music
playing on radio)
Where are we going?
Eagle ridge.
It's a little community
Tucked away on
the back side of the island.
Addicts mostly,
people down on their luck.
What do you do there?
I give them my time.
If they agree
to come to church?
They don't have to,
but I encourage it.
Getting out of a community
of only addicts is
It's important.
I mean,
these are kids whose families
Gave up on them long ago.
Church is there to show them
there's another option,
Whenever they're
ready to do the work.
What can I say?
I'm a sucker
for second chances.
(country music playing
quietly on the radio)
Beth danvers,
She's been missing
for six months.
That's right.
What can you
tell me about her?
I didn't kill her, if that's
what you're getting at.
It's a fair guess,
I'd say.
There's 12,000 people
on this island, farid.
Wish I could,
but I can't know them all.
it might be
the music in my head ♪
I got free reign ♪

(continues breathing heavily)
Hello, kat.
Breakfast.
Your wife make it or you?
- It was all claudia.
- (kat speaking french:)
- Give me a hand.
- Who's he?
Pastor:
That's farid.
He's cute.
He's taken.
Taylor!
Taylor! Breakfast!
(man groaning)
Pastor c,
you don't give up.
Pancakes, man,
chocolate chip.
- Not hungry.
- Oh, take one.
No, man. I got 40 containers
in the fridge.
- Time for a new fridge.
- (scoffing)
Karen!
Who are you?
I'm farid.
Taylor:
Farid?
You two meet on
christian mingle?
He's not my type.
How long's he been
doing outreach for?
Outreach?
Sorry, that's not what I
Yeah, comes by every
couple of days. I don't know.
As far as I know,
he's always been around.
What's your take
on this guy?
Taylor:
I don't know.
Mostly just talks to us.
Actually listens
to what we have to say.
Tries to get us clean.
Do you think
he can help you?
If I don't od first.

Hey! Ready to go?
Yeah.

(car approaching in distance)
(car door closing)
Jo, I'm back.
Christina:
Uh-uh. Guess.
Jo:
Three years.
Eight.
(chuckling)
I'm basically a cougar.
But it's okay because
it's his kink.
It's not my kink.
Stop saying that.
I just like mature women,
smart women.
His last girlfriend was 50.
- Christina
- Kink.
Neil:
We met at a touchstone forum.
- Ah.
- What's that?
It's a transformative
learning program
- Christina: Ugh.
- Blue sky thinking.
Shifting your ability
to manifest your best life.
- It's a cult. It's a cult.
- It's not a cult.
It's not a cult.
It is a pyramid scheme,
though.
(laughing) yeah.
But it gave us genesis.
Yeah.
Yeah, if we hadn't
have taken the workshop,
I would probably
still be teaching yoga
And this one would have
ended up - I don't know -
Dancing shirtless for tips
at one of his clubs,
Well, we don't all
have daddy's money.
(chuckling)
Christina:
So, um, how did you two meet?
Uh, film school,
montreal.
But you make
podcasts now.
It's cheaper than movies.
We've listened to your show.
It's very dark.
You're an excellent
storyteller, farid.
Thank you. Yeah.
But, uh,
the reason it's so successful
Is because of the sounds,
and that's all thanks to jo.
She's an incredible
foley artist.
Christina: Yeah, the sound
effects were terrifying.
That's my favourite
compliment.
But it got cancelled, yeah?
I thought I saw an article.
Yeah, but that's okay.
We could use the break.
Christina: Hmm. I mean,
the market is so saturated,
I imagine
it's hard to compete.
Dessert?
Let me help.
No, no, no, it's okay.
It's his job.
Thank you for
preparing the food, neil.
It was over the top.
Thank you.
Do you mind?
Jo:
Uh, no.
Hey, I'm so sorry to
hear about your employee.
Uh, beth?
Thank you.
Yeah, it's been hard.
Who's this?
A woman went missing off
the island six months ago.
It was a big deal.
They still haven't found her.
She worked at genesis
for how long?
Jo:
She worked for you?
- Christina: Yeah.
- That's horrible.
Farid:
Were you close?
We weren't, no.
Farid:
How many staff do you have?
That's a strange question.
Is it?
Uh, 13.
Farid: Wow, you must
really feel the loss.
Farid finds it hard to leave
his podcast hat at home.
- I'm just curious.
- It's okay, I don't mind.
Jo: We don't want to dredge up
anything painful for you two.
It's not painful,
it's okay.
- Well, she could be dead.
- Jo: Farid
- She's not.
- Farid: How can you be so sure?
Because she's not missing.
She's alive and well.
Homemade lavender
and bee pollen ice cream.
It's a well-known
secret at genesis.
The last we heard,
she was in toronto,
Hiding from her
overbearing parents.
We're just happy
she's alive and well.
What the fuck?
Her mother thinks she's dead.
She's devastated.
How do you know that?
I bumped into her
in town.
Look, she should know
that her daughter is alive,
So should the police.
Do you think
this is a game?
Farid, maybe this
isn't our place.
No, it's okay. Why does this
upset you so much, farid?
Aren't you in the business of
helping people?
Christina: We are.
So, do you see how
hypocritical you're being?
Are you in the business
of helping people?
In part, yeah.
Christina:
Why?
(scoffing)
Why do I want to help people?
- Christina: Yes, why?
- Because I'm a good person.
- Because you help people?
- Farid: At least I try.
Just like you helped
the chaffeys?
Correct me if I'm wrong,
You make money off of
people's stories, yes?
Regardless
if you help them or not?
And you don't?
Look at this fucking house.
- Farid
- I'm not ashamed of it at all.
I love money. We work hard and
we deserve to get paid.
So, $8,000 a week
To give cancer patients
carrot juice and false hope?
Farid, shut up.
You're not a
better person than us
Because you make
less money, farid.
You dig up trauma for notoriety
and a chance at another season.
- I'm not doing this. Fuck you.
- Jo: Hey!
We're just having
a conversation, farid.
Thank you, neil,
for a lovely dinner.
Jo, I'd like to go.
- Can we go, please?
- She doesn't want to go.
Excuse me,
I'm not talking to you.
- Easy, man.
- Farid: Come on, jo.
Christina:
You're making her uncomfortable.
Neil: Why don't you just
give her some space?
Jo!
Can you just go?
(door opening, closing)
Christina:
It's okay.
Jo:
I'm sorry about farid.
Christina: Well, no,
I think I went a little far.
I'm sorry too.
He's just overwhelmed -
I mean, the podcast
and My illness.
Can I ask you something?
How much
of you being sick
Is people just
convincing you that you are?
I mean putting you on
pharmaceuticals
That dim your light and then
denying your experience of it?
I don't know.
I had an ex that did not want me
to get better.
He didn't understand me and
that meant he couldn't own me.
Men need to be needed
and they need to possess.
Farid saved my life.
It's really sad
he's made you believe that.
Have you ever
taken mushrooms?
Does this morning's
tea count?
Not quite.
Nope.
Now, this
Is real medicine.
I don't want
to go backwards.
You won't.
Hey. You won't.
Can I have some?
Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Good?
- Weird.
- Good.
Because we're going swimming.
- Now?
- Yes.
I didn't bring my suit.
It's the full moon ceremony,
so get ready.
Come on.
- Get naked!
- Okay.

laughing in distance)

(exhaling sharply)
(phone line ringing)
(car door opening)
(cancelling call)
(car door closing)
(engine starting)

Neil: Jesus christ,
she even looks like her.
Christina:
Don't be ridiculous.
Neil:
You need to let beth go.
What? She's just a new friend
I may be able to help.
- What's wrong with that?
- Neil: Christina
I didn't ask you
to get involved. Stop.
Neil:
Is this a do-over?
It doesn't work like that.
Christina:
Shh. Please, neil.
