00:00Welcome to Tranquilum House, I'm Masha.
00:11Are you saying they don't want the book?
00:13It's not normal to be screaming dead to the fucking world to stop your lungs.
00:17We're going because we have issues, Benjamin, with us.
00:22What are you in for?
00:23Weight loss, esteem building, mind and body transformation.
00:26I mean, I already feel better, I really do.
00:28Is this not fantastic?
00:29What's that?
00:30Blood draw, standard practice.
00:31Did she give you any idea what to expect?
00:34Suffering.
00:59And I like it.
01:03You've got this strange effect on me.
01:09And I like it.
01:14You make my world seem bright.
01:19You make my darkness bright, oh yes.
01:26You've got this strange effect on me.
01:31And I like it.
01:36And I like it.
01:42And I like it.
01:55And I like it.
02:26Hey there.
02:27Hi.
02:30Are you okay?
02:31Yeah, yeah, no, I'm fine.
02:33I just, um, just a little panic attack.
02:38They come and go and sometimes I just feel like I'm gonna freak out.
02:41So I didn't want to, you know, disrupt the session or anything.
02:45Well, that session is officially disrupted anyway.
02:48Your dad's back there holding your mom back.
02:51I think she needs to claw Masha's eyes out.
02:56Is there anything about death or something you can quite catch it?
02:59Yeah, yeah, um, it's my brother Zach.
03:03He stopped living three years ago.
03:06I don't know why we're here.
03:08It would have been his 21st birthday this week.
03:10Or our 21st.
03:11We were twins.
03:13But, um, he stopped living the day before our 18th birthday.
03:19Oh, God.
03:21There you have it.
03:22Tony family baggage, which was also searched, by the way.
03:32I'm sorry, honey.
03:33It's okay.
03:34We really weren't close, so.
03:39Are you all right?
03:40Yeah, I'm fine.
03:41I just needed some air.
03:44Hello?
03:45Hello?
03:47Can I talk to my daughter, please?
03:49Mom, mom, it's fine.
03:50I'm fine.
03:52I was actually just gonna go for a run.
03:53We're runners.
03:55Um, I'll see you.
04:08She was telling me about your son.
04:12Oh.
04:14I'm so sorry.
04:18I didn't read anything about getting my fucking bags gone through.
04:22Anybody else read anything about that?
04:23Because I didn't read anything about that.
04:25Maybe you could take a breath.
04:27What the fuck?
04:28I am not taking a breath.
04:31It's a fucking crime, is what it is.
04:34Tossing ourselves for contraband?
04:36Not giving our shit back?
04:38That's a violation of our human rights, lady.
04:40Now, I've got prescription medication in my wash bag,
04:43and I'm gonna need it back, like, right fucking now.
04:46You feel me?
04:48Yeah.
04:49Would you go and retrieve Tony's medicine?
04:51Yeah, very good.
04:53Would you like your vodka as well, or do you take it separately?
04:56Fuck you.
04:57Okay, now, let's just take it easy.
04:58Fuck you, too.
05:00Yeah, this is not what I signed up for.
05:02Just like, FYI.
05:03We're okay.
05:04Part of the healing is finding the wound.
05:06That's why you picked us, right?
05:08What do you mean, she picked us?
05:10She accepts less than 10% of her applicants.
05:13We're just an equation.
05:15We complement each other's demons.
05:17A fucking crock.
05:18What is it you look for in your guests?
05:20Damage.
05:21Potential.
05:23Tomato, tomato.
05:24Is that how you're feeling about yourself, Francis?
05:27Is it?
05:29About things, about your life?
05:31Tomato, tomato, whatever?
05:34I know women like you.
05:36You don't.
05:37You're so driven, and you're so committed to perfection
05:42that you're not even human anymore.
05:45And you whittle away at everybody else.
05:47You don't have to see your own bumps and bruises.
05:50Maybe some of these guests did come for struggle,
05:53but I get enough of that in my day-to-day life.
05:56I didn't come here to open a vein.
05:59I came here to have a little bit of fucking fun.
06:02I'd like to talk to you in private, if I may.
06:06Look, obviously, you are a very smart person,
06:10building this whole thing.
06:12But it just doesn't make any sense.
06:15There's not a qualified professional in the world
06:17who would confiscate somebody's medication.
06:19You're a drug addict, Tony.
06:21There's many places you could go to detox or rehab.
06:25But you came here,
06:27maybe to fix what caused you to become a drug addict.
06:29I know, I know what caused it, okay?
06:32Three spinal surgeries, a blown knee.
06:34That's just a story, one that's keeping you numb
06:37and checked out of your entire life.
06:39Okay, yeah, day one, and you know all this, right?
06:42You're divorced, yes?
06:45Yeah.
06:47You have two children.
06:53How's your relationship with them?
06:58This is it, right? This is what you do.
07:02You get people to talk about their shit,
07:04and then you use it against them.
07:06Are you gonna plug me into an ATM machine now?
07:09Are you happy with your life?
07:12Am I happy with my life?
07:15Mm-hmm.
07:17Who the fuck is happy with their life?
07:24Just give me my medicine, please.
07:33Have it. Right now.
07:36And another one, in the morning, every day.
07:39I don't want you sick, Tony.
07:42Huh?
07:44I just want you...
07:46safe, healed, whole.
07:50And I think that's what you want.
07:55I never wanted to take your pills, Tony.
07:58Just a secret.
08:12Okay.
08:33I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
08:34Jesus.
08:35I'm sorry.
08:36You scared me to death.
08:37I'm so sorry.
08:38You shouldn't sneak up on people in the dark like that.
08:41I wasn't sneaking.
08:42I just, you know, I read in the pamphlet
08:46to be mindful of others that they might be meditating
08:49and try not to disturb, so that's what that...
08:54Not meditating.
08:55Just despondently staring into the gaping void.
08:59Hey, um, the, like, welcoming thing, that was...
09:03It was bad shit.
09:04Yeah. Okay, cool.
09:05Because I thought I was just, like, losing my mind.
09:07Okay.
09:09Hey, um, you probably don't want to hear this.
09:13Um, you know, people come to retreats to get away from it all,
09:16and I have to say, I'm such a huge fan.
09:20Wow.
09:21I've read Nathaniel's Kiss, like, three times.
09:23I think it's the most romantic book in the world.
09:29Thank you for that.
09:31So what's, uh, what's your crisis?
09:33What's my what?
09:34The British dude, he said that, uh,
09:37Masha, like, picked us all for a particular crisis.
09:40With all your success, I just was wondering...
09:42I...
09:44Now I'm realizing that I'm kind of crossing a line,
09:47so I'm gonna...
09:49I'm just gonna take it back.
09:50It's okay, I...
09:51I'm just here for a little R&R.
09:54Maybe my crisis is I don't have a crisis.
09:56Mm-hmm.
10:02So you writing anything new?
10:03What's your crisis?
10:04Oh, uh, marriage counseling.
10:07Yeah, no, Ben and I just...
10:09A little bit of a bumpy patch.
10:12I know that road.
10:13Oh, you're married?
10:15Not currently.
10:16Have been.
10:17Twice.
10:18Optimist masochist.
10:20Fine line.
10:24He saw her.
10:27It's my favorite part of, um,
10:30Nathaniel's Kiss.
10:31He wrote, um, he saw her.
10:34And until then, she never knew.
10:37She'd never been seen before.
10:40It was like coming home.
10:43A little clunky.
10:44No.
10:45No, it's not.
10:46It's the most wonderful feeling in the world.
10:49To be seen.
10:52You want a little grown-ass lady advice?
10:54You can take it or leave it.
10:55I'll take it.
10:58I wouldn't look to novels or music or movies
11:02to tell you the truth about love.
11:05They lie.
11:07And we're just a pack of dirty liars.
11:12Right.
11:13I mean, yeah.
11:15Hustlers of the heart.
11:17Did you just make that up?
11:19Yeah, I guess I did.
11:21God, you're good.
11:25I'm gonna get back to...
11:28Um, thanks.
11:30I'll see you tomorrow, I guess.
11:31Maybe it won't be as...
11:32Weird?
11:33Yeah.
11:34Let's hope.
11:35Good night.
11:36Good night.
11:54Hi, baby.
11:56Let's have a great day today.
12:05Come here.
12:35Oh, what shower pressure.
12:37Fantastic.
12:39I had a spectacular sleep.
12:43It's gonna be a fantastic day.
12:45I can feel it.
12:47You should shower if you're gonna do something
12:49before breakfast.
12:50They want us promptly there at seven.
12:53I am absolutely famished, by the way.
12:56Which I take as a good sign.
12:58My metabolism is engaged and firing.
13:01I think I might skip breakfast.
13:04I think I might skip breakfast and go for a run instead.
13:08I think brekkie's mandatory.
13:11It's a very precise regimen here.
13:15I suggest we surrender to it, pumpkin.
13:18There's only so much surrendering I can do.
13:20Leon, you go.
13:23Don't be late for breakfast.
13:25You certainly wouldn't want to break a rule.
13:28What's this supposed to mean?
13:31It means rules are meant to be followed.
13:34How else to ensure the survival of a civilized society?
13:39You have to seek out the wonderful, Heather,
13:41because it doesn't just come knocking.
13:43Maybe life will surprise you.
13:48You know what you said to me right after?
13:51Do you remember?
13:52You said,
13:53things happen for a reason.
13:59What?
14:01What reason?
14:04As much as I love you.
14:06And I do.
14:07I do.
14:09Finish it.
14:10I'm angry.
14:11At me?
14:12Yeah.
14:13For being so constantly upbeat.
14:16For trying to make sense of the most incomprehensible.
14:21But mostly for making me feel so alone.
14:25You make me feel so fucking alone.
14:29You ask why are we here?
14:31I'm here because I'm disliking you.
14:34Why?
14:48I know.
14:50You didn't deserve that.
14:54But I got it just the same.
15:04The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping,
15:09I dreamed I held you in my arms.
15:14But when I woke, dear, I was mistaken.
15:20And I hung my head and cried.
15:25You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
15:30You make me happy when skies are gray.
15:35You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
15:40Please don't take my sunshine away.
15:52Hi there, Harry.
15:54Hi.
15:56Hi there, handsome.
15:58Hey, honey.
16:00I am unfortunately going to have to postpone my trip.
16:03I'm so sorry.
16:05Oh, no.
16:06What happened?
16:07It's Ari.
16:08He was in a car accident.
16:09Oh, my God.
16:10Is he OK?
16:12They put him into an induced coma to help with his healing.
16:15I'm trying to get him transferred to a better hospital.
16:17Here you go, detective.
16:18You can keep it.
16:21I told him I loved him.
16:24I told him I loved him.
16:28It's an imaginary person, and I told him I loved him.
16:34This happens to a lot of women of your age and circumstance.
16:45Good morning.
16:46This should be on Instagram.
16:49Oh, this is so adorable.
16:52So healthy.
16:54It's like a dream, the perfect breakfast.
16:57Yes, if you can have substance, style will do, I suppose.
17:01How are we doing, everybody?
17:03I lost weight.
17:05You know, I was meaning to say.
17:07Why are you trying to lose weight?
17:09You're not fit.
17:11Thank you, but I'd still like to be thinner.
17:13But why?
17:14I don't get it.
17:16Why is everybody so obsessed with that kind of thing?
17:18I don't think we are, Ben.
17:20And if you're looking for commonality, I think we're all obsessed with being a little better
17:23than we were yesterday.
17:25A little less lousy, a little less in the toilet.
17:28You could be wrong, but isn't that the essence of life?
17:31Identifying your hump and then curling yourself over it.
17:35I told you, she's like a gifted writer.
17:38Good morning, good morning, everybody.
17:40What fell off the chuck wagon?
17:42That's not me.
17:44Hey, guys, look, I know I came in a little rough to the doc yesterday, and I apologize.
17:48And if I offended any of you, and I probably offended most of you, sorry.
17:53New day, huh?
17:55Seems like someone got his meds back.
17:57You know what, Lars?
17:59I did.
18:01Thanks for caring.
18:06Who are you, really?
18:08You mean, like, deep down?
18:10He does look familiar, right?
18:12Like I've seen your face.
18:14Probably on Dateline or something.
18:16People!
18:18All right, today's schedule.
18:20We will all begin with a little dirt digging in the afternoon.
18:23What do you mean, dirt digging?
18:25Soil bacteria has special qualities.
18:27It can fight anxiety, depression, maybe even cancer.
18:29I'm not, I'm not that big on dirt or bacteria.
18:33It's kind of a Protestant thing.
18:35I don't want to talk about it.
18:37I've got an excuse for everything.
18:39I said you've got an excuse for everything.
18:41Okay, team.
18:43Yeah, this is definitely not a team.
18:45I mean, this is like the opposite of a team.
18:50Okay.
19:18Something you need?
19:20Tell me, you pull sit when you're stressed.
19:23And you've been down here every day of late.
19:25What's wrong?
19:29I received some disturbing messages.
19:34Threats.
19:36Threats from who?
19:38Anonymous.
19:40Should we report it?
19:42To who?
19:44The police?
19:45What are they going to do?
19:47Could be from anywhere.
19:48I wasn't a very nice person in my previous life.
19:52You would have shot me too, if you'd known me then.
19:54No.
19:56No, I wouldn't have.
19:58No, you wouldn't have.
20:04You and Delilah okay?
20:09She still gets a little jealous.
20:11She'll have to get over that, won't she?
20:13Hmm?
20:15Hmm.
20:17It's difficult.
20:19That's what life is, more than anything.
20:21Difficult.
20:24Hmm.
20:26We are, and we always will be, profoundly and inextricably bound.
20:36Don't you agree?
20:38No.
20:43Loves her.
20:44Loves her.
20:46And she was in love.
20:59Fuck, that's it, I'm done.
21:02Digging graves is not doing my back any favors.
21:05What are you talking about?
21:06They dug half of it for us and you haven't even stood up yet.
21:09I am still helping and exerting myself, not that I've asked for your opinion.
21:13It feels good, doesn't it?
21:16To exhaust the body with hard, hard work.
21:20Pre-industrial man, he didn't get depressed because he was too busy working.
21:25Would you please lie down in your ditches?
21:29We spend our lives avoiding the thought of the one true guarantee.
21:35That our time here is limited.
21:39We are terrified of death.
21:42Not because it is unknown, but because it forces us to live.
21:47We are afraid of death.
21:49We are afraid of death.
21:51We are afraid of death.
21:53We are afraid of death.
21:55We are afraid of death.
21:57Not because it is unknown, but because it forces us to confront our deepest regrets.
22:03Be it lies we have told,
22:10people we have hurt,
22:13professional failures,
22:16or simply an unfulfilled life.
22:22So, I want you all now to close your eyes.
22:26Think of your life past.
22:31Imagine that your body has returned to the Mother Earth,
22:36and that your soul has been set free,
22:39and your loved ones,
22:42your loved ones are gathered around you.
22:45Marconi, is we okay with this?
22:49Yeah, you good, Mom?
22:51I'm fine.
22:52Now, think of all the things that matter to you.
22:56The events that preoccupy you.
22:59Everything that you are obsessed about, that you are worried about,
23:02that is stopping you from having a full and extraordinary, exceptional life.
23:10Think of the relationships that matter to you.
23:13The people who will mourn you.
23:17Who will mourn you.
23:21What do you want them to say about your life?
23:25Now, that it is over.
23:29You know, this exercise is ridiculous.
23:32Just lie down, Frances. Contemplate.
23:35What is it going to take? What do I have to say to get out of the dirt hole?
23:39You want to hear that if I die today, nobody would care? Fine.
23:42Because if I did die today, nobody would care.
23:43Because I'm humiliated, and I'm alone, and it's only going to get worse.
23:47And you'll love this, I prepaid my own funeral.
23:50Because nobody else is going to do it.
23:52Okay? Is that enough? Does that count? Can we stop now?
23:55Frances, this isn't just about you.
24:01You now have the chance, and you have the choice,
24:06to come back and reinvent yourself.
24:09When you hear the sound of the chimes, I invite you
24:13to rebirth yourself.
24:16Out of the earth, and into your new life.
24:19Out of the earth, and into your new life.
24:39Ugh.
24:42That was interesting.
24:44Could you be open, please?
24:47Okay.
24:49Alright, next up is the hike this afternoon.
24:52Yeah, I don't think I'm up for a hike.
24:55Of course, it's not mandatory, though highly recommended.
24:58We can schedule you for some acupuncture. Maybe help with your back.
25:01Oh, that would be lovely.
25:02Jessica, your session with Masha is now.
25:04Is that mandatory?
25:06Yes. Yes, it is.
25:09Ugh.
25:13Ugh.
25:15This is absolutely incredible.
25:17You know, I toured the acupuncture houses in Beijing.
25:21I was doing some research for one of my books, but have you been?
25:25Oh, Lulu's been everywhere.
25:27I trained in Oregon.
25:29Oh, la-dee-da-dee.
25:31Hehe.
25:33Ugh.
25:34Oh.
25:36The Bahway Point.
25:38It's where all energies converge. Is that right?
25:40That's right.
25:42Try to keep still, Francis.
25:44Ooh.
25:46I felt that.
25:47Yeah, I'm just taking some blood.
25:49Oh, why?
25:51For your blood sugar.
25:53Okay, well, next time maybe give me a heads up before you shiv my lipids.
25:56Okay, go for it.
25:58You're funny.
25:59I like you.
26:01That makes one of us.
26:03Can I ask you two a question?
26:05Of course.
26:07Is Masha crazy or is she the real deal?
26:09Masha?
26:13Masha's the realest of them all.
26:15A hundred percent.
26:20Why are you here?
26:22Oh, I thought we had our one-on-one, but I can come back.
26:24Oh, no.
26:26Why are you at Tranquillum?
26:28Oh.
26:30What are you hoping to gain?
26:31Um...
26:34Transformation, for one thing.
26:37I'm really interested in fixing what's broken.
26:41You know?
26:43And what would that be?
26:47Uh...
26:50You're very nervous.
26:52Yeah, I am.
26:54There is no reason to be.
26:59Tell me.
27:01What is particularly making you anxious right now?
27:07You.
27:11You're, like, super smart.
27:13And intuitive.
27:15I'm very fucking hot, by the way.
27:17I'm sorry, but you are.
27:19And I'm, uh...
27:21I'm okay.
27:23I'm fine.
27:25Um...
27:27And I'm okay with people looking at me on the outside.
27:29You know?
27:31I've basically cultivated that.
27:33But being seen on the inside, which...
27:35You strike me as very...
27:37Capable of.
27:39It just makes me...
27:41You came here afraid.
27:43You were afraid before you knew of my existence.
27:50When I was, uh...
27:52Lying in that ditch...
27:54You know, um...
27:56Imagining my own death...
27:58I thought about comments.
28:00Not my family.
28:03Comments.
28:05Saying how tragic it was that someone so...
28:09Young and...
28:12Pretty...
28:14Died like that.
28:16And for a second, it made me feel better.
28:19For a second.
28:21Then I realized...
28:23My Instagram account would be deleted a week later.
28:26And I thought,
28:27My Instagram account would be deleted a week later.
28:29And...
28:31Everyone would move on.
28:33Forget about me.
28:35You want your life...
28:37To be important.
28:39To mean something.
28:41Yeah.
28:43But that's not what you really came here for.
28:45Um, no.
28:51Why doesn't he love you anymore?
28:57I don't know.
29:00It's unfair.
29:04Mm-hmm.
29:27Attractive.
29:30Oh, if you don't mind, I'm social distancing.
29:34Actually, I do mind.
29:36Well, then, hi.
29:38I have my cramps.
29:39You can't have both cramps and hot flashes.
29:42I don't think...
29:44For you, I can.
29:46So, bye-bye.
29:48You know what, lady?
29:49Here we go.
29:50What are you doing?
29:52I'm just...
29:54I'm just...
29:56Here we go.
30:03Well...
30:26This whole day is a gift.
30:28This whole place is my fucking gift, lady.
30:31Did I hear something?
30:33I couldn't...
30:35I just thought...
30:36Did anyone say something?
30:37I don't see anybody.
30:39No.
30:40Nobody.
30:41Nobody.
30:43Nobody.
30:50Shut up!
30:56I'm sorry.
30:57What did you tell me?
31:00Okay, let's take this to a higher plane, shall we?
31:03You're gonna start with your hands out in front or behind you.
31:06Eyes on the ground.
31:07Six to eight feet in front of you.
31:09You're gonna start with your right foot.
31:11Move it forward one step.
31:13Think right step, left step.
31:16Right.
31:17Left.
31:19Right.
31:20So, how'd it go?
31:21Yeah.
31:22Up, up.
31:23Wait.
31:24Was she amazing?
31:25I bet she was.
31:26I think both of y'all are a little starstruck.
31:28Oh, no.
31:29I'm actually not a starstruck person.
31:32I used to work on Broadway, so I've met stars.
31:34Real stars.
31:36I met Alan Cumming.
31:38So, I'm not starstruck.
31:40Wow.
31:41Broadway?
31:42What'd you do on Broadway?
31:43Oh, I did, um...
31:44Wardrobe, um...
31:45Hair, makeup, props.
31:46I kind of actually...
31:47I did it all.
31:49Yeah, until I had my girls.
31:50And my husband, he didn't want me to work anymore.
31:52He made enough money.
31:54So, you know, he just...
31:55He didn't like the idea of a nanny raising our kids.
31:58Oh, that's nice.
31:59At least you had that time with your kids.
32:02What'd you say?
32:04Huh?
32:05Well, they're still my kids.
32:07Just because they're off with someone else,
32:09they're still...
32:10They're still my kids.
32:12What did I say?
32:14You said...
32:15Had.
32:16Past tense.
32:18But...
32:19Seems like she...
32:20Had a past.
32:21And now it's tense.
32:23Is that really something to be proud of?
32:26These bloody breeders.
32:28Biggest threat to the planet is overpopulation,
32:30and they keep pumping them out without an apology.
32:33It's incredible you're still single.
32:36Maybe.
32:38Whatever.
32:40Why torture yourself?
32:44When you know you're in love?
32:51Throw your pride in the ocean and drown yourself in the sea.
32:56Why torture yourself?
32:59When you know you're in love?
33:04Throw your pride in the ocean and drown yourself in the sea.
33:10Why be happy beneath the stars above?
33:15Confess your feelings to the one you love.
33:23Why be happy beneath the stars above?
33:27Confess your feelings to the one you love.
33:34Hey, hey, hey.
33:35No, no, no.
33:36Come here.
33:37Come here.
33:39Come here.
33:42You all right?
33:43Hey.
33:44You okay?
33:45I don't know.
33:46It's not ending.
33:47Just take deep breaths.
33:48Deep breaths.
33:49In.
33:50In.
33:52Come on.
33:53Come on.
33:54What happened?
33:56I don't know.
33:58You were sleeping.
33:59You were snoring.
34:00And then all of a sudden, you were choking.
34:01It was so weird.
34:03I don't understand how you just started choking.
34:07Do you have a medical condition?
34:09No.
34:10Not that I know of.
34:11I don't...
34:13Oh, I'm scared.
34:15What is that?
34:16What?
34:18Is that a grape?
34:19No.
34:20No, I don't...
34:21What are you doing?
34:22I don't think so.
34:27It is a grape.
34:32How did a grape get in...
34:33I don't know.
34:37Oh.
34:39Did you put a grape into my mouth?
34:42No.
34:43Oh, my God.
34:45No.
34:46Did you throw a grape into my mouth?
34:47I know.
34:48I tossed a grape in your mouth.
34:49But it was an accident, okay?
34:50You were snoring and I just...
34:51You know, I just wanted to wake you up.
34:53And...
34:54I'm sorry.
34:55You could have killed me.
34:56I could take that shot all day long.
34:57And the odds of it going in are like...
35:01Do you want a grape?
35:03What?
35:05You do not want a grape.
35:06You're not going to...
35:08Don't you ever...
35:14How do you like it?
35:20Who's Paul?
35:22Who's what?
35:24Paul.
35:26He was...
35:27He was saying his name, Paul,
35:29when you were sleeping.
35:31He was saying his name, Paul,
35:33when you were sleeping.
35:34No, I wasn't.
35:36Yes, you were.
35:38No, I wasn't.
35:43Got it.
35:47So, who is he?
35:53I don't know.
35:54I can honestly say I don't know who Paul is.
35:57But I do know that it's none of your business.
36:01Well, which is it?
36:03Which is it?
36:11Paul Drabble.
36:13It's a man I met online.
36:16A man I fell in love with online.
36:19A man who did not fall in love with me,
36:23either online or offline.
36:25Allegedly from...
36:28Canada.
36:30Who had a fake child.
36:31That got a fake illness.
36:34And then convinced me to
36:36send him
36:38quite a bit of real money.
36:40Oh, I'm sorry.
36:42I mean, you know,
36:44it's not like I had to date online.
36:46I get asked out by men all the time.
36:48There's multiple sources that say
36:50I'm very good in bed.
36:52Even enthusiastic.
36:54You don't have to talk about this
36:55if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
36:57It doesn't make me uncomfortable.
36:58Does it make you uncomfortable?
36:59Yeah, a little.
37:01There's a part of me that thinks
37:03it was worth it.
37:06You know, six months of love
37:08and companionship.
37:10Half a year of that,
37:12feeling like that.
37:14Not a bad deal, right?
37:20Maybe you could put it
37:22on one of your books.
37:24It'd make a good story, no?
37:26Yeah, maybe.
37:28Take it you've never read me.
37:30Well, yeah, you know what?
37:32I've read a snippet.
37:34Snippet?
37:35Yesterday.
37:37When I was taking a piss
37:38on this massive tree,
37:40I found an article
37:41all about your beating heart.
37:43Wait, what?
37:45You know what it's called,
37:46the beating heart?
37:47No.
37:48It was.
37:49No.
37:50That's what they said.
37:51No, it's not.
37:53It can't, no,
37:54because it can't be
37:55because it's not,
37:57it's not published yet.
37:58It's not published yet
37:59and so it's still
38:00in manuscript form.
38:01I don't know
38:02what to tell you.
38:03Maybe the guy
38:04got a leaked copy or something.
38:06I'd be stoked, actually.
38:07It means he really
38:08wanted to read it, right?
38:09You're in demand.
38:10I would take it
38:11as a compliment.
38:12What did it say?
38:13I don't remember.
38:14Just what?
38:15I know you're lying.
38:16What did it say?
38:19He didn't like it very much.
38:22He didn't like,
38:23did he hate it?
38:24What do critics
38:25know anyway, huh?
38:26You're pushed along.
38:28Fucking critics
38:29treat him like garbage
38:30and Rocky's
38:31the greatest movie ever made.
38:37So they hated it.
38:43Nope.
38:44That's that.
38:50Where you going?
38:52Really?
38:53Really?
38:54Explicitly,
38:55it may seem
38:56like a kid's game
38:57but when it comes
38:58to trusting,
38:59when it comes
39:00to being ourselves,
39:01when it comes
39:02to letting go,
39:03kids have a lot
39:04to teach us.
39:05That's right.
39:06Let's give it a go.
39:07Come on, kiddo.
39:08Come on.
39:09Come on.
39:10Come on.
39:11Come on.
39:12Come on.
39:13Come on.
39:14Come on.
39:15Come on.
39:16Come on.
39:17Come on.
39:18Come on.
39:19Come on.
39:20Come on.
39:21Come on.
39:22Come on.
39:23Look at that.
39:24Oh, my God.
39:25Oh, wow, you got him!
39:27They got him.
39:28You guys
39:29got it?
39:30Got you.
39:33Ha.
39:33Yay.
39:35Go.
39:36Go.
39:37Oh, man.
39:38Come on.
39:39Go.
39:40Go.
39:41Go.
39:43Go.
39:44Come on.
39:45Go.
39:46Come on.
39:47Come on.
39:48Come on.
39:49Baby, look at the girls.
39:50All right, now we're in the thick of it.
40:00Mom?
40:01Mom!
40:02Honey!
40:03Honey.
40:04Please.
40:05Take your hands off me.
40:06Please take your fucking hands off me.
40:07Please, honey.
40:08Please.
40:09Napoleon?
40:10Please step back.
40:11It's okay.
40:12It's okay.
40:13Heather, what's going on?
40:20I just want you to step away.
40:33I'm not going to do that.
40:34But what I am going to do is hold your hand.
40:35Do you know what they say about holding hands?
40:53It's intimate.
40:55It can be more intimate than love making even.
40:59Do you know why?
41:02There's something intuitive about it, something knowing about it.
41:07Perhaps it's the nerve endings on the fingertips, or the sensory systems in the hands.
41:13People feel each other.
41:16They know each other, even people they've never even met before.
41:24What do you feel in my hands, Heather?
41:29Somebody who's been where you are, maybe.
41:34Somebody who has stood where you stand.
41:42You have never stood where I stand.
42:00Do you think she was really going to jump?
42:07I don't know.
42:08Maybe not today, but she's certainly ideating.
42:11This group is a powder keg, Masha.
42:13I mean, Lars is...
42:15Honestly, I don't know what Lars is, but I know he's not just a guest.
42:19He's got some agenda.
42:21I can smell it.
42:22You swept his room.
42:25Top to bottom.
42:30Yeah, would you sweep it again for me?
42:32No problem.
42:34Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were in a meeting.
42:38No, it's quite all right. Please.
42:45Come on in.
42:50How can I help you?
42:52Um...
42:54I think I have to go.
42:57I don't want to find myself.
43:00I don't think I'm equipped for the discovery.
43:03I just had kind of a near-death experience myself,
43:06so I guess that's one thing we have in common, huh?
43:09Mine wasn't as exotic as yours,
43:11but first, because I almost choked on a grape,
43:15and second, I didn't...
43:18I didn't see the little girl joyously riding her bike.
43:22I just...
43:24I just saw the truth.
43:26Which is?
43:30How much time do you got?
43:35Frances.
43:38What?
43:40The truth is that I'm a twice-divorced,
43:44middle-aged, hot-flashing, menopausal heap.
43:49I've become a punchline.
43:51I have been down in these dark holes before,
43:55and the one way out was that I could write my way out.
43:59Turns out, I'm a one-time thing.
44:03My way out.
44:05Turns out, I'm a one-trick pony
44:08that can no longer do her one trick.
44:12You're a car, Frances.
44:15Okay, a car?
44:17And your gas tank is empty,
44:19and you're smoking, you're churning, you're wheezing.
44:23You can't get going.
44:25But in a few days, you're gonna refuel,
44:30and I promise you, you're gonna feel a thousand times better.
44:34I totally expected a metaphor there.
44:36I just thought maybe it would be something a little more lyrical.
44:41Okay.
44:43Try this.
44:47Kintsugi.
44:49A bowl.
44:50No.
44:51A Japanese art of repairing broken pottery.
44:55The broken pieces are amended with lacquer,
44:58powdered gold to make something stronger,
45:02more beautiful.
45:05It does beat a crappy car.
45:08This will be you.
45:14I just, uh...
45:17I don't think I want it.
45:20It's what you need.
45:24I think I may need a Four Seasons and a couple of Bellinis.
45:28That's what I need.
45:30Frances, give me one more day.
45:32Please.
45:34One more day.
45:36If tomorrow you don't want to stay, fine.
45:40I'll respect your decision, but give me one more day, yes?
45:44I don't think anything's gonna change.
45:47What have you got to lose? You've come this far.
45:52Okay.
45:55Just no more metaphors.
45:58Like I can take it.
46:08We're in deep, me and you
46:14This thing of us through and through
46:21We're all to things we shouldn't do
46:27I ain't gonna stop loving you
46:32The flame is lit for this trial
46:39God himself can't deny
46:44We all do things we shouldn't do
46:50Hey, honey.
46:52She wasn't gonna jump.
46:54Stop trying to shield me from everything, Dad.
46:57I saw.
46:59I fucking saw it.
47:01Honey, you know as well as I do, your mother would...
47:04You watch me like I'm the problem.
47:06Do you realize you guys are the fucked up ones inside?
47:09And all you do is hide it from me.
47:12And from each other, from everybody.
47:16Must admit I've done wrong
47:22Same old shit, different song
47:28One at a time.
47:30Oh, hey.
47:32How's Princess?
47:34She's hurting.
47:38You're right, Delilah.
47:40This is a particularly volatile group.
47:43But they're a brilliant one, and we need them all.
47:46Let's start the protocol, the new protocol.
47:49Okay, but it's only day two.
47:53But we have to make it to day three.
47:56We can't lose any of them.
47:58They haven't fully detoxed.
48:00It hasn't been tested.
48:02They're begging to be saved.
48:04They're on edge.
48:06I've made the decision.
48:08All right?
48:10Let's go, my loves.
48:12There is no time to waste.
48:17This is exciting.
