01x08 - Make Yourselves Clean

[bunniefuu]

(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.

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.

(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 k*ll 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.

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?

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 f*ck?

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 f*cking 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. f*ck 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.
