Final Recovery (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Louise, come on honey, let's get going.

Fine...

All right, Louise, let's get going.

We gotta get home.

You've been so good, I'm gonna let

you open a present tonight, okay?

All right, you think of everything.

Wait in the car to heat's on.

So what do you want?

Nothing, just how

was your store today?

You make any cool sales?

No, you crackhead.

Now leave me alone

and get out of my face.

Okay, maybe just could you spare me

a few bites like you did last time?

I didn't spare any bites, I was

throwing them out.

Now f*ck off and leave

me alone, you f*cking numbnut.

Okay, all right, okay, how about

just help me out just one more time?

Let me make this clear.

Yeah.

f*ck off and leave me alone.

Okay, okay, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

How come you

couldn't just help me out, man?

Could you guys just want a little

bit of help at some point?

What could you

just help me out, huh?

f*ck, godd, motherf.

Help, help me.

Deck the halls with lots of funny.

La la la la la la la la la la la,

Merry f Christmas.

Okay, get my pills.

Come on, get my specials here.

I need a tab-ooooooh.

Don't you get away from

me, you little f.

Look at this, oooh yeah,

"Nanny Lou Specials".

I'm happy.

Yeah, I'll put you back in

there in one, two, three.

What the?

Whoa

Whoa, God, what do

you b*stards want, huh?

Shut the f up you p

Come on, theft, possession of

Schedule 1 narcotics.

Rodney, this is trouble.

Oh, come on, man.

We need to make sure this is all over.

No, no, no, no, no, man, he's

already f*cking out.

Let's carry him out then.

Get him to the treatment room.

Dr. Sam will tend to him.

Louise.

What?

They went too hard on him.

You need to tame those boys.

It appears Rodney is

the one that needs taming.

Just go tend to his

wounds and bruises,

since that's what I pay you for.

All right, I...

All right, you boys did good tonight

getting Rodney back here.

There you go.

Thanks.

I had to take a little something out

of your pay, Levi,

for roughing him up too much.

Oh, come on, Nanny Lou, look,

he came at me first I...

Don't sass me.

You should be a little bit more respectful,

like our good friend Jacob there.

Seriously, he's a

nice, upstanding man.

Money please?

Thanks.

Keep me informed of

any news you hear, okay?

You got it.

Shame on you.

Just shame on you, Rodney.

When will you ever burn?

Louise, he's been

sleeping good for a few hours.

We should let him sleep.

You worry too much, Sam.

I'm just consoling my client.

But he's going to be sore for a while.

I know.

It hurts my heart.

But you'll make it

better, won't you?

I certainly will.

Thank you for your dedication.

I care about these people.

Once they leave, it's really hard.

It's hard to keep up

with them after they leave.

And I hope they

stay on the right path.

Some of them do, and

some of them don't.

But we do the best we can here.

Does it bother you at all that we

lose most of them

when they discharge?

Of course.

We just hope that they stay on that

path to sobriety.

What the... it's not even 5 AM.

There will not be any

family members here.

sh*t.

I found him like this in the car.

What?

Yeah.

Oh, f*ck.

Right on of my f shoes.

Thanks, crackhead.

I'll buy you new ones.

Did you get the specials?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got them.

That's so he doesn't choke.

You're lucky it was

me who found them, too.

I am.

Don't get too c*ck.

There's plenty of others out there

wearing that same blue uniform

that like me and my

money just as much as you do.

He looks like sh*t.

You sure I shouldn't

take him to the hospital?

He'll be all right.

I'll see to that.

Just come back later.

I'll get your payment.

All right.

Rest in peace, motherf.

What happened?

Just get him to room seven.

He's going to need

to sleep this off.

He's not in good condition.

Should we call an ambulance?

You're a doctor, Sam.

Act like one and do your job.

Sending him to the hospital right

now is not the greatest idea

because he's got my specials in him.

Hang in there, buddy.

We're getting you there.

You waking up?

Good.

I'm Dr. Sam Potter.

You can call me Sam,

You can call me Doc,

Call me whatever you want.

You were in bad

shape when we got you.

But you made it.

You're young and strong.

That's good.

Now, here at Sage, do

you need me to call anyone

to let them know where you are?

You want some water...

Nah, you're still sleeping.

That's the best thing for you.

You were lucky this time.

OK.

It's better.

I'll be back.

Good morning, Rhonda.

Hi...

I appreciate you bringing some of

Rodney's belongings since

he's going to be

back here for a while.

Yeah.

It's fine.

I'm used to it by now.

He's in the treatment room.

You know where that is.

Nanny Lou.

Thank you for all you two.

You know, I'm always here for you.

Hey, Rhonda.

Hey.

Oh, Rhonda.

Please don't start bitching at me.

I'm not.

At this point,

Rodney, I don't give a sh*t.

Why are you even here?

Because nobody else gives a sh*t

about your a*s, Rodney.

Nanny Lou knows it.

Why do you think she asked me to

bring you some things?

Please, just go.

Just leave.

You know you're going to die in here

or get yourself k*lled.

Why do you even care?

I don't.

I don't at all.

But I have a kid here who does and

another one up there.

Nick was my son to Rhonda.

I loved him.

It's your fault that he's gone.

You have to realize that, Rodney.

Don't Rhonda...

Just get the f out of here.

Go!

Don't say that sh*t, Rhonda.

Just go.

Just get the f out of here.

f*ck you.

B... God d...

Oh, God d it.

I told you to keep

your butt in the car.

How's Dad.

Like he always is.

Worthless and ornery.

He's been doing good lately.

What happened?

Kylie, he has not

done good in years.

You know that.

He's changed, Mom.

You've got to forgive the past or

it's going to hold

him, you, us back forever.

Look, I'm sorry that we're going

through this again, okay?

But it's just not that easy.

Dustin?

Dustin, sweetheart?

You have company.

This is Rodney.

He is going to be your roommate for

the time you're here.

Now, you guys play nice together,

I'm going to have to

straighten you both out.

F her.

Rodney, that isn't very nice of you.

Not after everything

she's done for you.

She only says that s because

she's afraid we're going to go

to the street and k*ll somebody.

And look what she

has to put up with.

With you, with me.

We have to earn it.

I had to earn it.

You have no d idea what really

goes on around here.

You know what? You're lucky.

You're lucky you

don't know what I know.

Yeah.

I know a hell of a lot

more than I'd like to know.

S. F.

Don't make a f mess.

What's your poison?

Let me guess. Specials.

You don't say much, do you?

Dustin.

Oh yeah. I know who you are.

It's like I never left Dexter.

Everybody knows each other.

There's some bada folks in Dexter.

Tell you what, Junior...

You stick with me and I'll help you

survive this s hole.

I think I know exactly who you are.

You can keep your

fatherly advice to yourself.

Okay. All right then.

We'll see how Nanny Lou and her

program treat you.

Don't say I didn't

f warn you either.

You're all talk. All talk.

You're warning me...

warning me of what?

Huh?

Make sure you hit

that f can too.

Excuse me. Hello. Hello everyone.

This handsome young man. He's new

here. His name is Dustin.

Nice little sage walk. And you

guys are already

familiar with Rodney here.

Welcome back, Rodney.

Sweetheart.

God d it. What are you

doing back here so soon?

It's okay. I'll be alright.

Okay. Okay, Tanya.

Go have a seat, honey.

You. You!

Hey, what is this? Can

you control your people?

This is my new next husband.

Tonya, that is the

last thing you need.

You need to focus

on your own recovery.

- Just focus...

- Oh, I will. I will once Nanny Lou

brings me from this prison.

I will.

Y-You can leave.

Heather, you haven't opened your

face hole this entire time and now

you're just like,

"Ughaaah, ughaaah." Look for my sh*t.

- Okay, okay. That's enough.

- Yeah

That is enough, Tanya.

That is enough, okay?

She is always enough.

Ya know what? Everybody in

here can kiss my

left a.

So f you. F you. F you. Not

you. Not you. Not you.

Okay, okay. Okay. Just breathe.

That's good. That's good.

Session's about to start so just

everybody just breathe.

Oh, Marianne. Oh great!

Great. This is our

new, our newbie here.

This is Dustin and you know Rodney.

Hello, fellas!

Thank you for joining us.

We already met this morning with the

others so quick check in.

How are you two feeling?

Like sh*t.

Oh, just give it some time and in a

few days you will

get your balance again.

Dustin, right?

Yeah, that's right.

I am Marianne Patterson.

I work as the counselor here at the

Sage and also with several rehab

facilities in the area.

I am so glad that you and Rodney are

in Room 6 together.

I think that you guys could be good

support for each other.

Why? Because there are only two men

in southeast Michigan who are sober.

I don't think that that's the case.

But I do think that if

you want to stay clean,

that it is nice to have someone else

who has been in it who can support

you through the process.

Well, stayin' high is

the only way I stay alive.

That is faulty thinking, Rodney.

- God, Marianne

You can sit here all day and draw a

godd paycheck telling everyone

how to stay sober.

But for the rest of us, you see

there, stay high and end up here, or...

end up on the streets and disappear

like everybody else.

You have all the motivation.

You have a kid.

God, f that, all right?

Everyone keeps telling me what a

sorry a*s dad I am.

I do everything in

the world for Kylie.

I do the same

thing for my son, Nick.

So just f all of

you. I'm out of here.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Tonya

All right, okay, all right.

Please.

All right, all right. I'll stay for you.

It's gonna be okay, all right.

Okay, okay-right, sit down.

Right there.

Okay, I'm gonna stay.

I'm here.

All right.

Sorry about the kids, Dustin.

So why don't you share a little bit?

I stopped taking my regular meds,

and I found some

ill*gal stuff to help more.

I can see how that might happen.

It wasn't working for me.

It might have been the dosage.

Yeah, I don't know.

And whatever this is, this isn't

working for me either.

Dustin...

I am here to help you.

I get it. I've been there.

The person you see in front of you

is not who I was ten years ago.

I understand.

And listen.

I do care.

- NO!

- Rodney, take the shot NOW!

Sam, please, no.

It will help. I promise.

She's got you by the ba*ls, Sam. She

doesn't give a f about anybody.

Please just take the shot.

No!

I don't want to have to keep your

hands in your feet down

any longer than necessary.

But you're a danger to yourself.

And to the rest of us...

Leave me alone!

God!

Get him, Levi! Hold

him! Hold him down, Levi!

Get him! Give him the shot.

Give him the shot! YESSSS!!!

Good. Good job.

Don't forget who owes you Rodney.

- Dustin...

- What is this?

This-This is the program, man.

What are you doing in here? You

can't be in here, Dustin.

Come on. You gotta get out. No. Out

of here. Go to your

own room. Get out.

Sam. Please.

You can't be in here. What the?

Dustin? Dustin!

Oh my God. No, no, no. Lou, I told

her she wasn't allowed back here.

She just rushed past me.

What have you done to him?

I'm helping him. Oh, Dustin,

- you poor baby.

- Don't touch his face!

Poor baby. Look, he needs us. That's

what we're here for.

Gladys, quickly. Get back up front.

Do not let anyone else back here.

Levi, I really appreciate your help

getting him in here

You sure let me knock

him out with my fists.

Save your drugs.

You need to calm down.

We can't keep giving him such a high

dose. It's dangerous.

Stay here. Make sure he doesn't

seize or throw up.

There's always something. I'd better

go deal with Cindy now to make sure

she doesn't become a problem.

Is he okay? When

can I bring him home?

He's far from okay, Cindy.

You and I both know that.

Dustin is sick. He needs to stay

here for a while

so he can get clean.

We can't afford to pay for him to

stay here. Besides, I

already know what he needs.

This is all from

his PTSD from Aleppo.

And I've taken all kinds of college

courses and online

classes just so I can help him.

I'm certain you love

your brother, Cindy.

But he's sick like the rest of my

patients in here.

The state will pay

for his rehabilitation.

I've already got Miss Gladys

filling out the paperwork.

I don't think he's

going to want to stay here.

Well, he does not have a choice.

It's either here or in jail.

The law caught Dustin with a lot of

drugs in his car.

So it's either here, jail, or in

some cases, these addicts just...

disappear and are never seen again.

Well, look, I need his

help at my shop in town.

It's very difficult for me to get

anybody to work these days,

especially for anything

less than 20 bucks an hour.

You surprised me, Cindy.

I thought you were just a loving,

sweet sister who wanted to

take care of her brother.

You have no idea what it's like.

I want him at the shop so

I can keep my eye on him.

Because when he's out of

my sight, I lose my mind.

It's just not fair.

Fair? There's no such thing as fair.

Believe me, I've seen it all.

I lost somebody close

to me because of drugs.

How long does he have to stay here?

The state of Michigan will pay for

30 days, and I can always reapply if

he's still not clean.

Can I visit him whenever I want?

We'll see how he's progressing.

You can't keep me from seeing him.

Jail is just one phone call away.

Please.

You know what? I'll make you a deal.

And just know I

don't really offer deals.

I will let Dustin come and help you

out for a few hours

a day at your shop.

Really?

Yes.

As long as you let some of my other

patients come and

look at your store too.

As long as I get to see Dustin...

I could definitely use the extra help.

But I can't pay them anything.

Don't worry. This

state will pay. Yeah.

They'll give me the money for their

rehab to jobs program.

It's a win-win

situation for all of us then.

Maybe.

Oh. I'm glad we have a deal.

Oh. Just one more thing.

Nobody else needs to know this.

Except for you and me. Right?

As long as I get to see Dustin.

You will.

Nanny Lou, please don't be mad at me

when I ask you this question, okay,

but do you think it's a good idea to

let him and others

just leave here without...

without their permission?

I mean...

I don't know. I mean, she's...

she onto us.

I could feel it.

Don't worry.

No one figures this out, Levi.

Nope.

I'm always two steps ahead of them.

Good morning.

Good morning, everyone.

Hey. Hi, guys. Good

morning. How you guys doing?

God. Take a look at me and I'll tell

you how we're doing.

We all know it's a process.

I'm just trying to make it better.

You don't have to be so grumpy all

the time, Rodney.

How about you?

How are you doing, Dustin?

Headache.

Well, it'll be okay.

Nanny Lou's gonna

make everything better.

God, it is too

f early for her.

Watch your mouth.

You know, I'm really surprised

you're still acting this way.

After everything she's done for you.

What a joke.

That crazy woman's done

a number on this town.

Wow. Really?

Yeah.

Hey.

Aren't you one of

Nanny Lou's outside kids?

Mhm?

Well, don't cross her.

She's worse on her inside kids.

Good morning, people.

Ready to start our meeting circle?

Hmm.

Okay.

Okay, so let's get started.

Who's gonna go first?

Dustin?

Nah, I don't feel like it.

Just try.

You may never feel like it.

I know this is hard, but

I'm here to support you.

We all are.

Dustin, your sister and I talked,

and you... You can't

continue to self-medicate

to mask the pain of

what happened over there.

Maybe I can. Maybe I can't.

That's your try? So that's it?

Marianne, Junior here,

he's a man of few words.

He doesn't say much.

Rodney, I'm glad that you are

thinking of someone

other than yourself.

But he needs to...

D.

I'm here.

Uh, she's high.

Heather, what are you on?

Drugs.

Where did you get it?

Shh. It's a secret.

Come on, Heather.

We checked everything when you

arrived. Where did you get it?

Well, you see, you

didn't check my c.

You're so trashy.

I think we all know

where she got them.

Rodney, what do you mean by that?

You don't look so good, Rodney.

What the hell are you doing in here,

listening in to our meetings?

No. I'm just getting a...

Another fun activity

for you and my other kids.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Thirty days is almost up for

Heather, but I see you fed her real

good to try to keep her

here today, didn't you?

And where's June, huh?

She's been cleared to leave in a

week, but now she's gone.

June managed to slip away. I have

alerted the authorities.

Sadly, there's been no sign of her

yet, but I'm sure she'll turn up.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Everything okay?

You two. You two getting along?

Of course. Rodney's interested in me

teaching him how to crochet.

Oh, that's great. That's great.

Well, learn fast.

Crochet me a sweater

before it gets any colder.

Watch your back.

Heather, don't worry. If you make a

mistake, you can just take your

needle out and undo it and then

start again. See?

Perfect. Atta girl.

Well, hello, boys. You slept late

and missed breakfast, but I bent the

rules and let you sleep a little

longer so you can get some rest

because I love you.

So anyway, here's the needles in the

yard right in this basket here.

Walt, get up...

I want the sexy one right there to

come sit by me

since Jack isn't here.

Tonya, I think you should just keep

focusing on your crochet.

I know that I'm batshit crazy, but

Ummm, I'm-I'm kind and I'm a good lover and

I'm also really talented.

OWAH NANNY LOU!

COME ONNN

I need justa little...

OHHHH! YOU KNOW,

I love you, love you, love you

Oh, Tanya. Go, Tanya. That's great.

- Woo, Go Tonya

Just save it for

the dinner show, okay?

Come on, why don't you two join us?

Crochet really helps reduce stress.

Where's Jack?

Jack is in isolation.

He fell ill last night. I think he

got into something

he shouldn't have.

I thought nobody could

get anything in here.

Unfortunately, sometimes they do.

I mean, I'm good, but I can't stop you

all from acting out

on your bad habits.

Now please, grab

your yarn and a needle.

You don't want to upset Nanny Lou.

You're one crazy woman.

It's perfectly fine

if you're mad at me.

Don't get over it in no time.

Hey, you need to bite your tongue.

Show some humility.

You say you know the program yet you

keep falling into it.

Maybe we can help each other.

How's a kid like

you going to help me?

Huh?

Because I know what it's like to be

out of control and reactive.

Angry.

You had a son, right?

Don't you ever f mention my son

again, do you hear me?

You have no g*dd*mn

idea what it's like to...

You're right. I don't know.

What happened?

I'm not here to judge you, Rod.

It's-Umm...

It was an accident, you know?

I got high, as always, and...

I forgot to pick him up at school.

He just-he decided to walk and...

Some as*h*le hit him.

I mean, I just left him on the side

of the road, you know?

That's some heavy s, man.

Oh, god.

D it.

D, I just want to get out of this

godd place and get high.

S, I don't know when I get out.

Keep your voice down.

She can't hear things

- from across the room.

- You love your Nanny

Lou, don't you?

Thank you, Jacob.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Levi, clean the

rest of these things.

I've got stuff to do.

Dustin.

Cindy.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

This is Rodney.

We've been sharing a room.

Nice to meet you, Rodney.

Oh, yeah. You too.

We're gonna try to help each other.

That's wonderful, Dustin.

I really hope you do.

When are you gonna get me out of here?

Dustin, I can't.

Nanny Lou said that you have to stay

here for a month.

Or you're gonna go to jail for the

drugs that they found him.

Her drugs.

What?

What it means is she likes to keep

us in here to make sure

we're on the right drugs.

Cindy, take me home.

Dustin, look.

I wish I could, but...

Nanny Lou did say that you can work

at the shop with me a few days a

week for a few hours.

But you're gonna have to be here in

the evening and you're

gonna have to stay the night.

Really?

Yeah. Really.

Rodney here, he can come along too.

We have enough work for that.

I mean, I guess. It's been getting

busier with the permaculture farming

happening in Flint, Detroit now.

We're sure it was

something we can figure out.

Thanks, sis. I think Rodney and I

can do better if we have each other.

You know, it...

It may make it easier

for me to stay clean.

Dustin, I need you to stay sober.

Like, I really,

really need you to try.

Yeah, I'm not sure Nanny Lou's gonna

let me get out to go to work though.

Well, we can ask. Can we, Cindy?

Maybe we can try.

Here we go.

The Dark State is gonna k*ll us all.

Okay, well, that's good to know.

Beware of the leadership here.

They're all reptiles in league with

the Dark State,

k*lling us with drugs.

- Really?

- I think we're

doing that to ourselves.

No. They forced the drugs on us so

that they can control our minds.

Come on, Paul. Let's go.

That's Dr. Paul.

Doctor, come with me. I got a very

crucial case to look at.

Okay. They can take away my license,

my patience, even my livelihood.

But I earned that damn degree. You

call me "Doctor."

What the f*ck was that all about?

That is really sad.

Yah, that's crazy.

Kylie.

- Hi, Dad.

- Hey, sweetheart.

So good to see you.

You too.

Oh, my gosh.

This is your daughter?

Oh, yeah. Kylie, this is my

roommate, Dustin.

Dustin, this is Kylie.

Hi.

- Hi

Well, since Rodney's being rude and

not introducing me,

I'll do it myself.

I'm Rhonda, Rodney's wife.

We've been separated

a few years, though.

Well, it's nice to meet

you, Rhonda. I'm Cindy.

Dustin.

We've been taking care

of your goats and donkey.

Really? I appreciate that.

It's costing me a lot

of money for the food.

I know. I'm gonna pay you, Rhonda.

I'll believe that when I see it.

Please don't start.

You don't want to start with

anything that doesn't get you high.

That's the problem, Rodney.

It's what lands you

here again and again.

It leaves me taking care of a

daughter without her father.

Do you know how much

stress that I'm under?

I give everything I have every ounce

of myself to our daughter.

You know good d well I'd do

anything for Kylie.

Anything except stay clean, Rodney.

Anything except picking up our son

after school like

you're supposed to.

No.

There's nothing I can do

to bring Nick back.

But I'm in here because I'm trying

to be a better man.

Try harder, Rodney.

I'll let you poke me.

- Now I go again?

- That's what she said

- Oh, you did.

- I did.

Uh-oh.

Hot d.

Tonya, you didn't win.

No, no, no.

Jack beats the queen.

No, queen beats.

No, you didn't win. You lost.

The pop. The pop is fried my brain.

Speaking of Jack, I miss Jack.

He would have loved this.

Yeah.

I showed him my t literally every

day and he didn't say goodbye.

It's a little tasteless... if you ask me...

Rodney, can I talk to you?

I'll be back.

Guess the game is on hold.

It's your world. We're just a

squirrel trying to

get a nut, Rodney.

What did, what did Rhonda tell you?

Oh, it's all good. I actually have a

surprise for you.

Cindy was telling me that Dustin

really wants you to work

with them at their store.

I think it's a good idea.

What's the catch?

Why do you always the worst of me?

Why shouldn't I?

I believe you and I can find more

things to agree on.

Besides, I need to get you

out of my hair for a bit.

What does that mean?

Rodney, get your sweet a*s back over

here and come finish this game.

TONYA!

Calm down, sweetheart. He'll be over

there in a second.

You have been spreading rumors about

how I run this facility.

So I thought if I did you a nice

favor like this, you

would keep your mouth shut.

Oh, yeah. I knew

there was something.

You and I always

help each other out.

But you tried screwing me over.

I don't think me trying to get out

of this place and stay out is

screwing you over.

Stealing my specials

when I let you out was.

Not to mention bringing attention to

this place with your loose lips.

So what? You want me

to keep my mouth shut?

Yeah, and one other thing.

Oh God, here we go.

I want you to find me more

customers for my specials.

I'm sure some of Cindy's clientele

would be very interested.

Nope, I'm not going to involve

Dustin and Cindy in this.

Yeah, I figured you'd say that. So,

um, to sweeten the deal,

I'll let you take some specials

while you're in here.

I'm hiding them right here in this

Christmas tree just for you.

Why are you so evil?

You know why.

There's no changing me.

Hey, Rodney.

I'm watching you, yeah?

Hey, look at me.

Don't you even think about

pulling any s with me?

Stay where I can see you.

Hey, you've been

real quiet all morning.

It's going to be fine. Don't worry.

I haven't had a real

job in eight years.

Besides, I worry about the others

when I'm not there.

Especially Tonya.

Look, we're going to take it one

step at a time and trust me,

Cindy will make sure

we don't fall off track.

We've got to let Tonya and the

others go take care of yourself first.

- Alright, alright

Dustin, Rodney!

What the f*ck?

Tanya, if Nanny Lou

sees you, you're in for it.

Go back to your room. No, go back.

Please, listen to me.

No! No!

Get rid of her.

-You b*tch, no

-Come here, come here

You're okay. You're okay.

Rodney!

I've had enough of you.

Are you okay?

Oh, well, hello there, boys.

Glad to see you this morning.

Sis', morning.

Hi.

Dustin, can you do me a favor?

Can you go on the back and work on

my online orders and

get them ready to ship?

Boss is in.

Thank you.

Rodney, I'll be right

there for you, okay?

Yeah.

So, I'm not sure how much Dustin has

told you about the business, but we

sell a lot of handmade

and local produce, okay?

Here we have tons of

apples, 11 different kinds.

We are in apple season.

Peaches there, we have the plums.

We have these apple

cider and the mild salsa.

I highly recommend you try that as

everybody raves, all right?

We have these shirts. They're a hot

seller. Keep them stocked.

There is the candy apples and the

sugar-coated almonds.

It's a lot of stuff in here.

Yeah, look, Rodney, I'm not

expecting you to

remember all this, okay?

With Dustin, it's a million times

over, and with him, the drugs, it's

my daddy, the alcohol.

I appreciate you giving me this

chance. I'm going to

do a good job for you.

Thanks, Rodney. I appreciate that.

So, over here, we have these bears.

They're a hot seller.

What happens? We get

them flat, okay? They ship flat.

And we have to stuff them.

But what's really cool is people

will get a trinket, and they'll kiss

it to give it a wish on it,

and shove it in the

bear, and we close it up.

They sell for $5.95.

Wow, I could get one

for Kylie for Christmas.

She's still a kid to me, you know.

Yeah, hopefully she stays that way.

Yeah, I hope she's not

a hard-a*s like her mom.

Please, we're all in

this together. All right.

Dustin! Dustin! Oh my God!

Hey!

Dustin!

S!

What's wrong with him?

Does he, a epilepsy?

No, It's from Aleppo.

f*cking Nanny Lou.

All right.

All right, let's go, kids.

All righty.

Let's go, man. I ain't got all day.

It's a game at five.

Let's go. You alright?

So, hey, man, why can't that as*h*le

partner Levi of

yours be more like you?

Ahh, Not my partner, but I think he's got

a little bit too much

of Nanny Lou in him.

Tell him to have fun shoveling all

that pig sh*t for her

back at the cookery.

I'm not going to tell him any of

that sh*t or about any other sh*t.

He already doesn't like you guys,

especially not you.

But hey, have a good one.

Hey, Rodney.

Hey, man. Where is everybody?

D, if I know. They need to bring

their a on, man.

They wasting my d time.

You coming in hot, Walt.

You all right?

Man, my month is almost up. I need

to get out of here and

see how my girl is doing.

I like how you fight to stay clean

for her, but you got

the worst taste in women.

Yeah. True that. And don't leave

that crazy mother of mine off that

list of people who kept me going

down the wrong path.

Rodney. Come here.

I'm worried about Tonya.

What's she done this time?

She's looking for you this morning.

Running down the

hallway yelling your name.

What?

I know, look, I

asked Sam where Tanya was.

Man, we both know she ain't getting

out here for testing

clean like he claims.

Man, she worse than

all of us combined.

You saw her at that last

meeting. She was a mess.

Well, look at you guys. All ready to

get started. Walt and Rodney.

My time is valuable, Marinne.

I'll take note of that, Walt, but I

think we should just wait a few

minutes for Heather.

- Walt, can I

speak with you for a minute?

Walt, don't take anything...

I'm talking to Walt, not you.

Well, Rodney, what

did you want to say?

Umm... I was just going to say, don't take

too long. We want to get started.

We're still waiting on Heather and

Tonya's been released, so if we have

to start without

them, we can do that.

Please, don't worry about Walt.

I know what's best for him, don't I?

And I just want to let you all know

Heather is being tended

to right now by Dr. Sam.

Come on along now, Walt.

Come here. I've got something to

show you. It's a surprise. Come on,

Nanny Lou, come on. That's my boy.

It's good to get out of

that place for a while.

Yeah, I'm not sure how long this is

going to last, though.

Nanny Lou is up to something.

Like what?

See how she keeps wanting us to get

out of the facility?

Did she hide in something?

Mm-hmm. People keep getting out

before they should, and I haven't

been able to talk to Tonya in a...

well, one minute...

I don't remember much, but I never

forgot her mother's phone number.

Hey, Myrtle, it's Rodney.

Have you seen Tonya?

Myrtle, dont-don't hang up.

I haven't seen Tanya.

Come on, Myrtle, no, ugh.

Hello. Can I help you with anything?

Nah, I just need to look around.

Well, we do have some sales on the

jewelry up here if

you want to take a look.

Yeah, I'm good.

Hey, man.

How are you doing?

Why don't you get your girlfriend

one of these teddy

bears? It's only $5.95.

Yeah? Take a look at that.

Pretty good. Let me

just get that put in.

And stuff it up for you.

That should be good.

- Appreciate it.

- Merry Christmas.

You too.

Is that going to be it for you?

Yeah.

All right, well, it's

$5.95, taxes included.

Cool. Keep the change.

Thank you.

Hey, Rod.

Huh?

Did you make a sale?

Yeah.

Is this your first sale?

Yes.

And no big loudmouth celebration?

Well, great job, Rodney.

I heard my dad was

getting to work here some.

Hey, Kylie.

Mom, can I come here after school

and just wait here

until you get off of work?

I mean, I could help out.

That's a good idea sweetie

We can try having you come here and

see how it works out.

Great. Thank you, Rhonda.

Oh, hey, look.

I want to get you one of these

teddy bears for Christmas.

Cindy can take it out of my pay.

No, you don't need to buy me one.

I saw Mike Connor leaving here with

one right before I came in.

He wants to be my boyfriend.

Oh, he is not going

to be your boyfriend.

He could be.

Stay the hell away from him, Kylie.

Stop! That hurts.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- What the hell are you doing?

I'm sorry.

You show that kind of behavior again

and you will never see her again.

Okay, Rhonda. Kylie, I'm sor...

Come on, Kylie...

Cindy and I will keep

an eye out. I promise.

You d well better.

Look, Rhonda, he

really is getting better.

You know, for your sake, I hope he

stays on that path.

I would not want to see another

woman go through what

he's put me through.

Come on, Kylie.

$6.99.

Well, hello, boys.

How was your day?

Busy.

Busy's good. Keeps

the trouble at bay.

Rodney?

What?

Your day? I trust it went well?

Whatever.

Dustin, why don't you give me a

minute with Rodney?

Seems he's got

something on his mind.

I can handle her. I got it.

Don't you go getting paranoid like

Rodney now, Dustin.

Go on now. Scoot.

Here.

This is what you've

been waiting for, right?

You did good, Rodney.

You're a lot more

like me than you think.

Screw that.

I hope you didn't say anything

disparagingly about me to Cindy.

I would hate for you to tarnish the

reputation of our great facility.

Great facility, yeah. Look, I

know you're up to something.

You're doing more than just drugs here.

Where the hell is Tonya?

Tanya's fine.

Really?

'cause I called her mother

and she's not there.

The last place she'd

be is at her mother's.

And you know I can't say anything.

I strictly abide by all HIPAA rules.

Don't give me that bulls

Where's Tanya?

She's in a special place doing well.

People here deserve so much better

Better than me?

These people are

barely people at all.

When I started this place, all I

wanted to do was to

help these addicts.

Now the only thing I can do is hope

that, God, they

don't hurt anybody else.

You really need to let go

of the past, little Louise.

One addict doesn't represent all addicts.

An addict k*lled my father.

An addict will k*ll anybody for a hit.

You're pathetic

Hello! I'm here.

Hey, why aren't you

back there helping Dustin?

I wanted to spend time

up here with you, Dad.

No, no, I think you

should go help Dustin.

You don't ever care

what I want to do.

You only ever cared about Nick.

Hey, Kylie, do you mind helping me

in the back real fast?

Kylie, go.

Oh, God.

If there's something else that she

can do, that's fine.

I don't mind her

helping me with that.

No, no, she just can't keep seeing

the whole world revolves around her.

I mean, she knows

I love her as much as I did

Nick, that's just her, that's her

damn mom talking.

I'm sorry, Rodney.

I can imagine it sucks being dad.

Yeah, you could have that right.

Hello.

Thanks for sharing that, Walt.

I know that Sage is not as upscale

to some addiction places,

but it's smaller and

it's more individualized.

I know it's smaller. I'm just pissed

I ain't got a better room.

Damn, Walt.

Ever since Jack left, you've got

your own room and it's

the biggest one here.

Rodney, why do you even care who's

paying for Walt's room?

It's none your business...

Well, if anyone's

ever complaining about rooms

it should be me and Dustin.

Now Heather has her own room.

That-That's only because Tonya left.

Okay, let's settle down. Listen.

You guys all have shelter and you

have food and you have

a program that works.

- That's all you need.

- Yeah

You know, I bet you Tonya got kicked out

because she was f Walt too much.

Stay on my business, b!

Oh, oh!

Dustin, come on. Let go.

It's Walt! Dustin! Let go!

Get the f off me!

Dustin, you are safe.

What the f, Dustin?

You are safe. You are

at Sage. You're safe.

Am I? Are we?

Yeah.

Come on.

God, man. I'm sorry. You all right?

f*ck! Heather! Oh sh*t! Heather!

f*ck! What's going

on? Help me out here.

Help me get on the floor.

Walt! Go get Sam!

- Oh, God! Oh, watch your head.

Oh, God. Heather,

I'm here with you.

You're going to be all right.

You're going to be all right.

Rodney's right here.

Doctor's coming.

Oh, you're okay. It's Rodney. It's Rodney

I'm right here. I'm right here.

- Where's Sam? God.

- Sam!

Come on. Heather, I'm right here.

It's Rodney. You're going to be

okay, sweetheart.

You're going to be okay. I got you.

Oh God, Get Sam, somebody.

Sam!

I got you. I got you.

What'd you do to her?

What happened? What happened?

Sam, sit down.

Be quiet.

Her pulse is faint.

Her blood pressure is dropping.

Walt, Rodney, get her to the

treatment room, quick.

Help me up. Come on, sweetheart.

We got you. We got you.

Sam, I need you to sit up.

Sam, I'll deal with you later.

Come on. Let me help you up.

Get up.

What is it? Do you...

Let me go get you some water.

Oh, I am so sorry to keep you waiting.

Is Heather okay?

The addiction has destroyed her.

And how about Sam?

He was out of it too.

Do you think that...

Do you think he gave

Heather the wrong meds?

No. No.

I'm going to be honest with you.

Sam is a recovering addict.

He has stolen drugs from hospitals

and clinics and

doctor's offices and...

He lost his license.

That's why I let him live here, you

know, so I can keep an eye on him.

It helps him to stay clean.

And I don't know, I guess I just let

my keen Hawkeyes off of

him for a tad too long.

Does this happen a lot? I mean,

that's dangerous for you and others.

That's nice of you to be concerned,

Marianne, but honestly, no need to

be, because I'm here twenty-four/seven.

Well, there's probably

too much stress on you.

If you're hinting about me yelling

at everyone before

you go writing me up,

I want you to think about everything

I do for these people.

These are the hard cases. I'm the

only one who can help them.

I have no plans to write you up,

Nanny Lou. I understand hard cases.

I work with them too.

Sometimes you have to

throw the rules out.

Good...

I'm so glad we are on the same page.

I'd hate to have to write you up for

breaking the rules.

What rules have I broken?

I'm sure there are plenty. I just

have to review all the

tapes of your meetings.

Well, that's ill*gal.

And are you threatening me?

No, I don't threaten anybody. I tell

people to watch their backs.

Have a safe drive home, Marianne.

You know, my kids are very fond of

you, and I would hate for

you not to be here anymore.

I'll see you soon.

Rodney. How many times

have you been in here?

That's a loaded question.

How many times?

I'd say eight or nine,

give or take, five or six.

So this sh*t doesn't really work.

Some places do, but not here. Nanny

Lou's lost all sight

of how to help people.

So we can't trust her?

f*ck no. She's turning into a crazy

b*tch. This place is scary as hell.

I do find it weird that nobody heard

from Jack or Tonya before they left.

Me too.

Who's getting out of here next?

I think it's W-it's Walt.

Look, I'm gonna figure out what's

really going on here, because

something in my gut tells me we're

not getting the whole story.

Alright, look, I know you want to be

a hero and s, but if Nanny Lou

finds out you're watching her, she's

gonna keep your a*s drugged and

you're never gonna get out of here.

Look, old man, I know you have

experience in here, but I got

experience in the real world. I've

seen s that makes

this look like a joke.

Alright, look, Junior, this isn't

f combat, okay? So you need to

calm your a down for all our sake.

Big day. Everybody

feeling good? Feel good?

It looks like me and

you most of the time.

Sack of s.

Hey, how about it?

What's going on here?

Good morning! Good

morning, everyone!

I just came to make sure everybody's

ready for their Saturday visitors.

Gladys, look, can we just cut all

this formal bulls? I really just

want to see my kid.

Rodney, you better be glad Nanny Lou

didn't hear you say that. Or you

might not even be able

to see your daughter.

I don't know how she puts up with

him. I don't! I don't.

Hey, where is Nanny Lou?

She's probably in one of the private

rooms watching over us.

Private rooms?

Yeah.

- Hi, Dad.

- Hey, sweetheart.

Hi, Dustin.

Hey, how are you?

Give me a hug.

Whoa! Good to see you.

Hey, Rhonda.

Hey.

Whoa, what's wrong with you?

Mom's being pissy.

She's mad because I wouldn't let her

go to the lake this morning with a

bunch of older boys.

There were girls going, too.

I don't care who's going. He wants.

Kylie, listen to your

mom. She's always right.

Don't be a smarta, Rodney.

No, no. I wasn't, Rhonda. I mean,

it's true. Your mom, she is right.

Oh, God. Before I forget, I wanted

to give you this money.

No, you don't. That money's for me.

Look, it is, but I give it to your

mom. She handles it. She helps in

respect, alright?

Thank you.

Heather!

Heather! Come on, sweetheart. It's

Rodney. I'm right here. Come on.

Help! Somebody do something!

Heather.

What happened? Huh?

I don't know. Check her pulse, Sam.

Does she fall?

Does she fall?

I don't know. Do something.

Oh, God. Come on,

Heather. Heather, come on.

Stay with us.

What's all the commotion?

You know, you two

are the problem here.

Oh, yeah. We're the problem.

Let Dr. Sam take care of her.

Heather! Heather, are you...

Stop. Let Dr. Sam...

Levi, what the heck are you doing?

Kylie, get over here.

- It's fine. He's not bothering me.

- Hey! Keep the f away from her!

You missed lunch.

I'll get you dinner.

I don't want anything.

Heather's gonna be okay. They

managed to get her

stable. Kylie, too.

Rhonda got her out of there fast.

They should all be protected, but

I'll k*ll anyone that hurts Kylie,

man. She's all I got left.

And I get that. More than you know.

And so does Kylie. So does Rhonda.

Sam said that Heather's heart's

probably weakened from all the

alcohol and drugs.

That's such bulls.

We all know Nanny Lou's specials

were what hurt Heather.

Look, it's the same old routine. Sam

keeps everyone clean

until it's time to leave.

Then he gets us back on the

specials, and then we disappear.

God damn it. How is she

able to get away with this?

It's money. Money's her judge, her

jury, her law. She needs people in

here to keep making money.

We can't stay here.

She thinks she knows everything,

too. I'm gonna show

that b this time.

And she works with the team. So

should we. I'll help

you come up with the plan.

Look, man, I'm gonna do this on my

own, all right? I'm gonna make sure

she doesn't hurt you, though.

What the hell are you gonna do, you

old prick? You need me.

Junior, I got this. Trust me. Sit

back. Chill the f out.

What the hell is that?

Is everything prepared?

Yes, Ma'am

This is the last one,

the last one, I swear.

Look at me, look at me.

You'll keep doing this as long as

she tells you to do it.

No, I'm not.

You're sick f, man.

You're just as sick as we are.

Yes, but I know it.

You don't, you idiot.

Hell out of here.

I'm sorry.

Come on, Joe.

Heather.

Why are they listed as

active and in-patient?

Levi, you are a fool.

You are getting too

eager and too careless.

Next time, pay attention to what is

going on around you and

shut the damn door.

Look what you made happen.

GRRRRRR!!

Don't f move, Rodney.

The f do you want?

I have a present for you.

Please, Nanny Lou.

Come on, just take

some of these for me.

No, no, no, no.

Swallow these!

Why would you waste

specials when you could just sh**t me up?

Because I need you semi awake.

Why semi awake and drugged?

I'm doing something very nice for

you out of the goodness of my heart.

See, I have some bad news to tell

you and I figured my specials would

make it a lot more tolerable.

What terrible news?

Well, it seems your good friend

Dustin, he got a little too curious

about me and my facility last night.

Oh, yeah.

And he went and he found my office

in my supply room

and he robbed me blind.

Oh, no. Not only did he rob me

blind, he left the facility and he

took Heather with him.

And I'm so worried about her safety.

Dustin's a good guy. He wouldn't do

anything like that.

You know, I'm afraid he's just not

the man you thought he was.

Did you call Jacob to go find him?

No, no, I can't do that.

Why not?

Having everyone find out that one of

my patients who I'm responsible for

healing and

releasing back into society,

left the facility and

escaped with another patient.

Oh, my God, that would just ruin me.

Why are you drugging me?

Because... I need you to be you.

Addicted and high.

I can't have you

running off now, can't I?

No, I need you to stay calm.

Levi, can you imagine if Rodney

would have woken up and

just found Dustin gone?

Oh, that would have been a disaster.

Shhhhh...

I need you to stay very

quiet about all of this.

Remember, Levi and I know exactly

where Rhonda and Kylie live.

Don't we, Levi?

Yes, we do.

I can't let him get

them, Rhonda or Kylie.

I gotta protect them.

Oh, man, Heather.

What the f?

Heather, what the f?

Where are you?

Heather, where the f are you?

What the f?

Hey, Rodney, you seen my teeth?

Take his soul on up to

heaven, now thank you Lord.

I told you, but you

wouldn't listen to me.

It's a cutthroat world out there,

Rodney. Come here, let me

give you a great big hug.

They're all reptiles here. In this

place, it's not a

rehab, it's a sewer.

We're the rats trapped here by

drugs, but the rats don't rule here.

This place has alligators.

God, somebody help me.

Are you a reptile?

The others are.

They're gonna k*ll us all. Eat our

hearts and our brains.

And beware false prophets.

They lose their tongues.

God, get away from me, freak.

I know you asked.

You're one of them.

Rod, what the hell are you doing?

What the f's going on, man?

Look at that mess! Oh my

God, what are you doing?

I need to go get them man.

I gotta find Dustin and Heather.

Please help me, man.

Well, there's nothing you can do.

Give me the narcan.

Yeah, I can do that. There you go.

I'm not the doctor

anymore. I'm free.

I'm free as f.

You know, that woman,

she's k*lling for a living.

She really is. She's k*lling people.

But I'm a doctor. How am I supposed

to fit in with that p...

Rest in peace, Sam.

Shh! Sh-sh-sh-sh... Now you're free.

Dustin, come on.

Oh, God.

I'm coming, Dustin.

Oh, God.

Ah!

What the f?

D it!

Jack!

Oh, man.

This looks weird.

No...

Tonya...

Tonya, where the f are you?

Tonya, oh God.

Ah!!!

Oh, f.

Ah!

God d it!

TONYA!

No!!!

God d it!

God.

Rod...

Dus-Dustin?

Rod...

That you, man?

I'm coming for you.

God.

We gotta get out of this f place

Oh, sh*t.

Dustin.

Man, I told you to

be careful of her.

Rod, save yourself.

Oh, shut the f up.

Come on.

Oh, honey.

You'll never learn.

That Nanny Lou is always

here to take care of you.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Oh, God d it!

Crazy b.

Rodney.

She's gonna k*ll us.

Rodney, I mean, I thought

we had an understanding.

You would keep your junky nose

out of my business.

I keep selling my specials.

And I, is gonna keep

you as high as ever.

I don't want any more of

your Godd specials.

All you do is ruin people's lives.

Well, I'll be darned.

I never thought I'd see the day that

Rodney Garrett was a white knight.

But you listen to me.

If you're not out there helping me

by luring in new druggies,

how am I supposed to rid this town

of all these disgusting pests?

All you do is feed them your

specials, and then you

put them back out in this.

That's not helping this town.

How can you be so naive?

These drug addicts and pillheads

around here, most of

them will never get clean.

They're useless to

society they are.

Just a waste of my tax dollars.

Oh, sure, the state sends me money

to rehabilitate them.

But when I realize I can't

help them anymore, just... poof... ahhhh

God, you're one crazy b*tch.

Why do you get to decide

who lives or dies, huh?

Because that m*therf*cker got to

decide whether my

daddy lived or died.

So why shouldn't I

get to decide, huh?

I mean, why isn't that fair, huh?

Seems fair to me.

God, you're so evil.

So I'm evil?

When I started this place,

I just really wanted to help people.

I really knew that there was good

inside of them still.

Or so I thought. Then I

got smarter and older.

And the image of my father getting

getting m*rder*d by one of your kind was

all that I could see every time I

looked at one of you.

I can't rehabilitate anyone.

So, I guess it's just best for

everyone if... I dispose of the ones

who are no longer any use to me.

Rodney, you are no longer any use to me.

She's making money off the dead

ones. I saw in the

in-patient forms.

That is my business! Do you hear me?

No, Nanny Lou, please! That was just

one bad addict who k*lled your

daddy. You, you could be our savior.

Sweetie, I am your savior.

No, Nanny Lou, I

gotta be alive for Kylie.

Dustin, come on, man. We gotta get out

of here. Come on. I

got you. Let's go.

Alright, come on, watch it.

Rodney, that was a big, big mistake.

Oh my God, no. No, Lou. What did you

do? Enough is enough!

You picked the wrong day to f

with me, Gladys!

No, no, no, no!

You picked the wrong day to f

with me. That's why I give you a

little taste of your own medicine.

Yeah, choke on that, Nanny Lou.

EAT IT!

Die, b.

Hey, Rod.

Huh?

You think they'll be opening up?

F. I think I'm gonna start smoking again
