Traveling Light (2021) Movie Script
1
(air whooshing)
(thunder rumbles)
- [Alex] The corona
virus pandemic
sparked extraordinary levels
of stress amongst us all.
Now, imagine what it's like
for those who are already
struggling with PTSD
long before this began.
Providing health to
our veterans, this
is Inside the Issues.
Welcome to Inside the
Issues, I'm Alex Cohen
coming to you from my home.
- [Speaker] It just brought
back horrible memories
of the day that I found out
that my son Eric was murdered.
I can feel their pain.
I know what they're
going through.
- [Interviewer] You said
you can't bring yourself
to watch the video
of George Floyd.
- [Speaker] No, I can't.
- [Interviewer] And
yet it's the video
that has opened a lot
of other people's eyes.
- [Speaker] Yes.
11 times he's repeated,
I can't breathe,
but the disconcerned officers,
- I can't fucking breathe.
- [Speaker] They paid no
attention to his cries.
They continued murdering him.
And this is just like the
sentiments of this young man
who was killed the other day.
The man was trying
to only breathe.
- [Alex] Now an
outspoken activist,
to bring justice for so
many who have been hurt.
- [Speaker] I don't want
any other mother to suffer.
(melancholy music plays)
My love is gone
I'm on my own
I'm traveling light
He said goodnight
then he walked away
I'm on my own
I'm traveling light
I'm traveling light
My love is gone
I'm on my own
I'm traveling alone
Said goodnight
then he walked away
I'm on my own
I'm traveling alone
Nobody's here
I fly away
My memories
No death tonight
Death again
I'm on my own
Good night
(car beeps)
Love is here
I see
I fly and never never leave
(car engine starts)
(tires screeching)
I'm on my own
(tense melancholy music)
(man humming)
- And with that sound,
we hear infinity
and we hear the vibrations
of our universe.
And you know that all
will come, the final end.
- Yeah.
- And all will come down
pressure when a child.
(child laughing)
- Yes.
This is contemplation,
even the most beautiful
mathematical form,
even if it's true will not
be able to be contemplated.
That's contemplate.
And in meditation,
all is just thoughts
amongst right.
Soar, like a mythical animal.
Feel our galaxy flushing
into that dark hole.
I'm getting rid of
all of your illnesses,
all of your misdeeds.
All of your dirty thoughts.
- I'm here.
(Harry snapping)
- Do you feel lighter?
Of course you do.
I am here cure me, Johan.
(birds chirping)
Feel the breeze through the
windows, wherever you are,
go out, be touched
by the sun today.
And know that you're
protected by Harry.
Well, that was
today's meditation.
You know where to reach me.
- Fuck.
(woman exhaling)
That's it?
That's all he is gonna do today?
- This guy's amazing.
(man exhales)
- I feel light, I
feel lightheaded.
- Well, honey, you
were just meditating.
Of course you feel light.
- No, it's something else.
You can't meditate that fast.
It's something. He's
channeling something.
- He is.
- I feel, I can feel something
and I don't believe
in this shit.
He knows something.
He's unlocked something.
You need anything honey?
- [Reporter] Floyd was declared
dead at a local hospital.
- [Caddy] So fucking tired.
- [Reporter On radio] The
incident, have been fired.
The city today,
releasing the disgraced
officer's names, Derek Chauvin,
Thomas Lane, Tou Thao,
and J Alexander Kueng.
Chauvin is the officer
with his knee on Floyd.
Thao is the officer standing.
Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey
calling for him to be
charged with a crime.
- [Man On radio]
If you had done it.
- You okay.
- [Man On radio] Or
if I had done it.
- Yep.
- [Man On Radio] We would
be behind bars, right?
- I just wanted
to give you this.
- You couldn't
bring it out, huh?
- I'm sorry.
At least, at least I'm
giving you this, right?
- I know.
- Thank you.
- And I appreciate it all time.
- I hope you do.
- So how are you doing?
- I'm okay. Have
you heard anything?
Have you heard
anything from Cecil?
- No.
- Okay.
- No. You know,
he was on the street for
seven years before we got him.
He wants to be free.
You know?
He's like Cecil the lion.
Only they killed him,
but we're not gonna,
they're not gonna kill Cecil.
- Right. You take
care of yourself.
Don't compromise anything.
- Okay.
- Thank you for this. Okay.
No, no, no it's mine now.
- I just wanna touch
it. Just wanna touch it.
- But you gave it to me.
- I know I gave it to you,
but you understand
what all of this means?
- What does it mean?
- These are all
feathers for freedom
and this is the whole
land, earth, and sky.
- Okay.
- I never had a chance
to tell you about that.
- Well, I felt the
magic of it immediately.
And I'm gonna search
the land, the sky,
the sun and the moon
to find this boy.
- I know you will.
- Okay. You're happy?
- I'm happy.
- Okay. Okay. I gotta go.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Take care.
Wait a minute. Don't move.
- No, I wouldn't do that.
That's a nice rollater.
Did I pay for that?
- Yeah. I like that.
- Yeah.
- I like it better
than the other one.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Call me later.
- Maybe.
Okay.
Who's gonna take care of me.
Who the fuck is gonna
take care of me.
(birds chirping)
- Do you know who's
gonna be there tonight?
- Just a few.
- The same people on the
listening to lecture.
(child whining)
- Yes.
- That's enough. Maybe.
- It's good for her.
It awakens her spirit.
- Maybe I should come
with you this evening?
- I think it's
probably better not.
- There's a tennis lesson today.
- Huh? Well enjoy it.
- So what is your name? Caddy?
- Caddy is all you need to know.
- Caddy, can I ask
you a question please?
Do you mind? Sometimes it's
hard for me to breathe.
Do you? You've got on your mask.
Do you mind if I take
off mine and I'm sorry.
- You know that when you,
when people spray spittle
that it stays in the air.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
- For fucking eight
minutes. Did you know that?
- I won't do that. I promise.
Just I'm sorry,
but, but promise.
- Don't, don't.
- I promise.
- Don't push my buttons.
Wait a minute. What?
I'm sorry. Ma'am do you,
do you listen to what
I've done this.
- And I'm okay. By the
way, I've been tested.
Okay.
- I don't really give a damn.
- I'm wait, listen.
I'm sorry. Listen.
I don't wanna offend.
- Yeah. Well, you, you kind
of trivializing something
that's very fucking important.
- Yes sir.
Yes, sir.
I get it.
But you're healthy, right?
You're totally healthy.
- You see this?
This is my bag of Juju. Ain't
nothing going to happen to me.
Okay.
I got people that love me.
I got holy water.
I got spill catches.
I got rosary beads.
- So when was the last time
that you were down here?
Do you, do you drive
through here a lot?
- I drive here a lot.
- Have you ever had like
any issues with people?
- You know what?
I lost a son. Okay.
And my son is on the street,
on the street now for two years.
And every now and
then I'll drive
to a different homeless area
to see if I can see him.
- Do, do you know that
you just ran a red light?
- I don't give a shit.
- Dude. You're gonna be okay.
- Yeah. I'm okay.
What hurts me, you can't heal.
(upbeat music plays)
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart.
It's never true. Never,
never be with you
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart.
You were so never true.
Never, never be with you.
Oh baby, I need time
It's gotta be very long.
But I'll be
Be my arctic start but
don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Don't take my heart.
Don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
- Oh hey, I brought you a gift.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Thank you. Some
kind of crystal, or.
- I knew you had a, an
accident with a motorcycle.
- What's it mean?
- It's, it opens up
your heart power.
- Thank you. You want
the, the bag back?
Oh.
- No. That's that's for you.
- Thank you very much.
It's great.
All right. Shall we?
- Does Mary play tennis?
- Not really. No.
I don't know where
Mary is actually.
- Huh?
- She was out for
a walk earlier.
Huh.
- What is that?
- Eh, it just fell from a tree.
- It's a little blessing.
Sound.
- Coming from Harry.
- Probably.
- I played with a
good buddy of mine,
McEnroe here the other day.
An old friend of mine.
Guy's still a maniac.
I never quite got that far,
but he was a big teacher.
It's, supporter.
- Like, you could be in a
prison where ever you are.
- Step into it.
Connect with that ball.
Follow through.
All right. Follow through.
Beautiful.
You got it.
You're looking good.
All right, let's
try hitting this.
- So great.
(piano playing)
- Forehand.
- Ah.
- Forehand.
- Maybe it's just not your game.
I gotta be honest.
And look, it's gonna
take some time.
Yeah.
- Will you help me out.
- But yeah. I mean, look,
today is a hard day.
I gotta get to the
event and you know,
Mary's at home, but yeah,
we should play doubles
sometime all of us.
- So those are the tame ones.
I just wanted to get a
little bit more into it.
- Yes. Oh, let's see that.
- Right.
So then this is the first one.
- Don't be a Dick. Wear a mask.
Oh, I think that, you know.
- Is this, is this being
racially insensitive?
- Why? Because it's a long Dick?
- Because it's black.
- No, I have to say it
didn't cross my mind.
What crossed my mind initially
was just a picture of a
penis, which seems, I mean,
if somebody's wheeling their
four year old around here
and the four year old
says, mommy what's that?
- If the four year old
can read, I mean, come on.
Then they're
learning how to read.
I think it's, I
think it's great.
We need to be doing something.
I just don't have
anything else to do.
I just think that we need
to be wearing our mask.
'Cause we need to
be doing our part.
And every time I see
somebody without a mask,
I wanna be like, Hey
you motherfucker,
why aren't you wearing a mask?
I'm walking down
a lonely road
I'm looking for
a precious rose
I'm looking for the hero.
That I will grow
I'm walking down
a lonely road
I'm looking for a
face in the store
I'm looking for the hero
That I can grow
- This is Cecil, I was
trying to tell you about.
- He does look a lot like you.
- Yeah. He's got
that happy smile.
This is during his,
this is just the day I
took him to get a haircut.
(man laughing)
I shave and a haircut, okay.
Which he stood for,
but he wasn't happy about it.
He's got my eyes.
All right, should we say
hello? Or should we just go?
- He's ready.
- Okay.
Let's go.
My son, my son I've been
missing for a few years.
He goes by Cecil.
- Cecil?
- Here.
- Yeah.
- You have?
- Yeah. over in Pico union.
- Pico union.
- Yeah. Like on Broadway.
- So Alvarado.
- Olympic and Alvarado. And.
- Oh, you know,
that makes sense.
'Cause he used to stay
at a halfway house.
You've definitely
seen his face before?
- Yes.
- Next time you see him tell
him his dad is looking for him.
I'm not mad at him. I
just want to help him.
- Okay.
If I.
- If I see him I will.
- We just got offered that
motel three month program thing.
- Yeah.
We had people come today
that I have their number
and all that.
They, they want, they want us
to like immediately jump up
and we wanted to salvage stuff.
- You guys do that. Right?
- They were gonna pick you.
They wanna take you
right then and there,
they had a room key.
And you guys didn't go?
- Um, yeah.
We have a friend over there.
He thinks that that people are
being put in quarantine camps
and we're all gonna be like
shoved into one little zombie
something or whatever.
He just, he's paranoid.
He's very paranoid.
He, some of the things
he says make sense,
but he's been in Hollywood.
(loud sounds drowning out
radio coverage of George Floyd)
- [Reporter On Radio] The
bystander's cell phone
recording Floyd's pleas.
This is the second video
of a black man dying
to emerge in less
than a month month.
- [Man On Radio] Seeing Ahmaud
Arbery killed by citizens
while he's jogging,
watching George Floyd be
killed unarmed by police.
All of these incidents mesh to-
(rain sounds drowning out radio)
(humming)
(birds chirping)
- [Man On Radio] But
starting a few years ago,
we started giving out
medals for de-escalation
for successfully saving lives
to show that that was the
highest responsibility
that we had.
Not just saving lives that
somebody shooting at strangers.
But a moment when you
could take someone's life,
what did you do to make sure
that wasn't the end of it.
So sure, here in California,
across this nation
there's things to do,
but right now.
- For Harry, right?
- Yeah.
- Bye.
- How's the quarantine
treating you?
- Ah, it's okay.
- Like it?
- It's brought
peace, spirituality.
It's like the earth
needed to breathe,
sort of attack the human lung.
- A little spiritual
cleansing huh.
- Yeah.
- To me it all feels like
a little racial cleansing.
- Yeah.
(vibration sounds)
I will bless you. Bless you.
And I forgive you. And
you shall be forgiven.
(Harry humming)
- Do you think there's
gonna be a second wave?
- Yeah. Unfortunately.
I mean, I just don't know.
No sports.
The whole going to the
movie thing, you know.
How much further we got now?
- I'm sorry?
- How much further do we got?
- About another couple of miles.
- A couple of miles.
I don't really like being
in this neighborhood.
- You don't like it?
- Not really.
- Well, it's up above Olly.
- Yeah. It's a little bit to,
- But the air is clean.
- The air is clean.
Have you ever had a slice
of hummingbird cake?
- No.
- It's a Southern thing.
In the middle, there's
caramelized butter, nuts.
(Caddy speaking
slowly and distorted)
(ominous music plays)
(growling)
(ominous music plays)
(birds chirping)
- Hey.
- Hi there.
- Hey you guys.
- Hey, how are you doing?
- Jack.
- How have you been?
- Can I offer you a
light refreshment?
- I would love a drink and
I got the real poison here
for later.
Do you mind if I
keep it chilled?
- For sure.
- Let me just put
it in the fridge.
- Beetle juice.
- Yeah.
(Harry laughing)
- Perfect.
- (indistinct)
Please forgive me.
- Honey.
Honey?
Todd.
Yeah.
You're leaving?
- Yeah. Hold on.
I'll be back.
I'm just gonna, I got the text.
I can't.
I gotta go, right?
I know you're upset.
You introduced me to this.
You're a part of this too.
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay.
I'm not dictating all the rules.
I can show you the text.
- I don't need to see the text.
I don't need to see a text.
- It specifically
says come alone.
- I don't need to see it.
- You would've received
one of these texts.
So I don't want to call.
- It's on you. If
it's not what you say.
This is on you.
- Right? Well, before this,
you were trying to get
me to even accept this.
And now that I am accepting this
allow me the freedom
to go to school.
- I am so glad that you
are, please hear me on that.
So glad you are.
Have fun.
Breathe. Don't
forget to breathe.
From here.
(Todd mumbling)
- That's right.
- Have you been
working pretty steady
during this time or?
- No man, one day I said, hey,
why not put this
car to good use?
I wanted to see how people
are behaving during this time,
you know.
- Oh. So you've only been
driving since the quarantine?
- One day.
- Wow.
- This is the day.
So anyway, if I sit
still, you know,
I mean, it's gonna get
like suicidal or something.
So I figure if I get.
- What's that?
- Don't worry
about me. I'm okay.
You know, times like this,
you go through some
fucking weird affirmations.
- I think everybody's
going through that brother.
- Well, everybody's
lost money, man.
That's what I keep
telling people.
I had a guy in my car said, man,
you know how much money
I've lost this year?
I said every, it's not,
it's not personal, dude.
Everybody's lost something.
Okay. 2020, what the fuck.
Sounded so optimistic.
And not only that, some
people, but like they're gone.
You know what I mean?
(ominous music plays)
- You know, I found
this guy, Harry,
is somebody my wife
introduced me onto.
And I gotta say.
- Wait, wait a
minute, wait a minute.
Hold on, Harry, Harry.
That was the first
guy I drove up here.
Okay, strange guy.
- That's interesting. But my
Uber came right through to you.
Right?
- You know what? I, I,
he did something
that was involved.
He had just set it all up.
- Let me show you some
videos I took this morning.
People are crazy.
Oh no. You don't
want to see that.
- Who do you follow
on your Instagram.
Are you one of those creepers?
- She's just a friend.
- That like your
grandson or something?
- Look, you see, let
me step far back. If-
- You, have a mustache!
(woman laughing)
- I had no idea
you had a mustache.
- I just, it's funny.
I just didn't know
that you had a mustache.
- Well, exactly. People
see this, they swipe left,
but they see that
they swipe right.
And I actually end up being
friends with somebody,
and then we talk and then
they, they, they, you know,
we get on and I
mean, I don't know.
They may not be who
they, who they look like.
All right. I shouldn't
have told you anything.
- I mean, you seem
to be okay, but.
- Well put it like this.
You're the first
person I've found
who actually has
a similar mindset.
- I like the mustache.
You know, really,
you should just be yourself.
- It's never worked.
- I don't understand why, why?
Like that's, what's
wrong with, excuse me.
That's what's wrong
with society today
is that people aren't
okay with themselves.
And don't don't care
about other shit.
Yeah. So if you just cared,
I don't know, about yourself
more than other people,
then you wouldn't
have to do that.
(bells chiming)
(knocking)
- Hello?
I'm Todd.
- Bless you.
Today, when I woke up,
I noticed this nest,
outside my kitchen door
and I've been watching
birds fearlessness
over the last couple of weeks.
And I heard all the
little birds cheeping
with joy and happiness that
obviously just broken free
from the egg and walked away.
And then I heard
a real kerfuffle
and it was a blue Jay
and the blue Jay had
gone into the nest
and killed all the
new little baby birds.
He ripped them apart, feathers
were moving everywhere.
Parts of the nest were destroyed
and the mother and the
father were looking on.
I wouldn't say horror, because
nature is a certain way.
They were looking on
in panic, in despair.
And the blue Jay was happy
and the blue jay ate
the birds and flew away.
Let's join the cosmic
dance of destruction.
(everyone laughing)
- Now we'll have
a little elixir.
- What's in that Harry?
'Cause my son's gonna do it.
- Oh, your two sons.
- Yeah. Well, he's
done it before.
He's the younger.
- I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
Return your glasses.
- Siri,
can you please text
Harry and ask him,
what time should I be there?
- [Siri] It's time
for you to leave.
Your car is here.
(upbeat music plays)
I'm here not
because I love you
But because I want you
But I want to use you
Slide slide slide
Boom boom boom
boom boom boom boom
Ba-Boom ba-boom ba-boom
Boom boom boom boom
boom boom boom boom
- Hello, I'm waiting.
I'm here not
because I love you.
But because I
- Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah.
How you doing?
- Fine and you.
You get confused?
- Yeah.
Keep trying it.
Thank you.
- Do you mind stopping by
like a 711 gas station?
(loud banging)
- Ah shit.
- I just need to
get some cigarettes.
Be really quick.
- Did I get a fucking flat.
You hold me at night
losing my mind.
I'm losing my mind
Only you can heat the goose
Only you can
make me sea sick
- Nice.
- Very good.
- Very good. Okay, yeah.
- Yeah. I'm open
to the adventure.
This is.
- Are you, are you faithful?
- To my wife?
- Yeah.
- I try to be.
- Do any of you feel the elixir?
- What was, what was in that?
(man laughing)
(Harry shouting)
What is it in there Harry?
Come on. Just tell me.
Just tell me what's
in there Harry.
Just, fucking come on man.
Whoa.
- Magic. They're
subatomic Particles.
We're vibrating.
It's a celestial magic.
- Hey.
(Harry snapping)
(vibration sounds)
(birds chirping)
(bells chiming)
- It's not a 711. But.
- As long as they
have smokes I'm happy.
- Oh, you're a smoker, huh?
- Not really.
I just smoke to look hot
and I'm going to the kind
of event I want to look hot.
- Oh, you know what?
I don't even know
what this event is.
I've talked a few
people somewhere.
Everybody seems to
be going somewhere.
You know, isn't
everybody supposed to
stay inside right now.
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay. And not, it's not
about you getting infected,
it's about you
infecting other people.
- All right. Thank you.
I appreciate your wisdom.
- I just had to
tell you that. Okay.
- Yeah. Thanks.
I'll be right back.
If I leave my stuff
here, please don't leave.
- Do I look like the type of
guys that would take your shit?
- Well, I'm just happy you
were connected to my Uber app.
- Like meaning what?
(man laughing)
(Harry howling)
(others howling with Harry)
(bells chiming)
(Caddy coughing)
- Why are you
coughing? Are you okay?
- I'm choking on my own spittle.
- Take exit 4B.
- If you want, you can
the mask for a second.
I'll just put mine on.
- All right.
- In two miles, use
the right two lanes.
- No don't do this.
The tire, baby.
- Take the downtown west exit.
(man laughing)
- In a quarter mile
merge onto US101 north.
- Wow.
- I mean you might
wanna be careful
'cause I don't know if
you can merge like that.
- What are you talking about?
- No. No, I'm just
making sure we're safe.
- We're safe. Are you?
You want to get out?
- No, not.
- Let you out right here.
- I'm fine. I'm really good.
- Okay.
'Cause I don't like criticism.
(background humming)
- Ah. They're not
social distancing.
- What do you want, man?
- We're not asking for
our picture to be taken.
Can you put the camera down.
- Oh of course.
I'm so, so sorry.
- Stop.
- Yes, absolutely.
There.
See. All right then.
So, I'll see you around.
- What are you
gonna do with that?
- Oh, nothing.
- What the fuck?
- I don't know.
Hey man.
- Are you posting about us?
- No, of course
I am not posting.
- Give me that phone.
- But I will if you don't
keep your distance please.
- Come here.
Hey man. Give me the phone.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please keep your distance.
- Give it back.
- No.
- Hey, come here.
I'll catch you fatty.
- No, no.
Stay back.
- Give me the phone.
- Just stay back. Please.
I'll delete it.
I'll delete it.
Okay?
- Let me see it then.
- Just stay there.
- Let me see it.
- Here I'm showing
it to you right now.
Let me go back.
You play this. Whoa.
Let me play it.
I'm trying to be reasonable.
- Give me your phone.
- Do you understand that?
You silly thing.
- Did you just call him silly?
- No. I'm, I don't mean.
Hold still.
Hold still.
See, look there it is.
There.
- You work in like law
enforcement or something?
- No, of course not.
No. I work in insurance.
Well I used to. I'm retired now.
All right then. Good day.
Thank you.
- Here let me have that phone.
- No, no. It's okay.
- Give me some more money.
- No.
Oh god. For fuck's sake.
Okay.
(Harry growling)
- Look at the sun.
Close your eyes.
(humming and vibrating)
- What do you folks do up here?
Just like meet up here, what
do you drink wine, beer,
craft beer, what? Vodka?
- Hopefully have sex.
- Yeah. What?
- Hopefully they have sex.
- Yeah. You know,
I saw this thing on
Portland porn once
where this chick was
having dope me parties.
And she would buy like some
body weed and massage shit.
People get on the couch and
they all wrestled together
and you're supposed
to ask permission.
Like, I'm gonna put my
hand on your knee. Okay.
I'm gonna touch
your shoulder. Okay.
And that goes on and on and
playing some tantric jazz shit.
And by the end of the evening,
you're all melted together.
Like a, like a tub of butter.
Is that what this is?
- Yep.
- Are you just jogging me
off now? You tired of me.
(woman laughing)
- Is that it?
- This is it. The
gate's ahead I believe.
Swore I've been before.
- Do you mind pulling
up a little higher?
So I don't have to get
out by these trash cans
just right up there or anywhere?
- Oh I thought the trash cans
would be appropriate, no?
- Leave the lights.
- Screw it.
(dog barking)
- Shit.
- It's okay.
- Ah, what is your name?
- Clara.
- Clara.
- Hi.
(Clara gagging/laughing)
Does it taste good?
- Yeah.
- Fuck.
- I'd do it down, hit me one.
You find a way, anyway.
- Salud boys.
(gong ringing)
(Clara laughing)
(traffic noise)
(humming)
- Caddy?
- Yeah. Caddy.
- Okay.
- How you doing?
Have a good night.
You all right?
- Fuck.
- Um, let's see.
So.
- Some people are
just fucking crazy.
- What's the matter?
- So we're going to.
- What?
- Hollywood police.
- Okay.
(tantric vibrating music)
(Harry laughing)
- Let's party.
(people clapping)
(Harry shouting)
- [ Arthur]
Irresponsible I thought.
If people could actually
think they're doing,
I mean, I don't want
humiliate people.
I don't shame them or
anything like that.
- No.
- But, but I just think that.
- The detectives-
- They're not
taking it seriously.
No, no, no.
I've just been
calling over there
and I talk to
someone for a while
and they hang up on me 'cause
they think, oh, in that case.
Jesus.
- You know this has been a
pretty strange day as we.
I think there's some sort
of gathering going on.
I mean,
some sort of like hipster or
some sort of anti quarantine
fuck everybody else party.
- Oh Caddy. That's a great idea.
I should go there. And if I
call the police from there,
- Then you'll have the
evidence right behind you.
- Exactly.
- In your state,
I think that's better than
trying to barge in there.
I have the last address
still on my phone.
'Cause literally I've dropped
fucking four people off there.
- I don't want to
get you in trouble.
- I don't give a shit.
What else I got to do
but live my life.
(upbeat party music playing)
(ominous music playing)
- What is your name?
- Sydney.
- Do you ever go by Arthur ever?
- Do I, do I go by what?
- Arthur?
- No?
- No.
What, what are
you talking about?
- Do you know who I am?
- I do now.
- Hey coach.
Harry.
- Mr. Black.
- What an evening, right?
- What was in that drink Harry?
- It's okay. It's good.
You're fine. You're fine.
- No, just because-
(Harry whispering)
- I'll take care of you.
(Harry shushing Todd)
(drumming and gong ringing)
- [Caddy] What's in
another man's phone
is none of my business.
- I, I, sorry just because
you get old doesn't mean you,
you know?
- Yeah.
At our age, you lucky
we get what we get.
As long, as long as they don't
have to take their teeth out.
(laughing)
I heard that works too though.
- I have actually dated somebody
who had to take their teeth out.
- There you go. How was it?
- It was laborious. Yeah.
- 'Cause then you had to
adjust her hips and knees.
(Arthur laughing)
Shoulder popped out.
(Caddy laughing)
Was that my motherfucking turn.
Ah fucking son of
a motherfucker.
- I'll be quiet.
- It's right here.
It's right here.
I've taken it so many times.
I should have know it
with the back of my hand.
There it is.
But you be careful.
You have a, you got it.
You know, you got anything,
with you to protect
yourself at all.
(ominous music playing)
- I just have my phone.
- Okay.
- Hello, Gretchen.
- Oh, Hey Arthur.
- Yes. I'm glad I got you.
- Yeah. Are you alright?
- Nothing's wrong? It's fine.
I just wanted to call
and tell you that I,
and I'm.
- What do you mean
nothing's wrong?
- I'm fine actually.
But I found a strange party
where seems like
a lot of people.
- Oh.
- And I'm going up
there, but I wanted to-
- Well, you have to be nice.
- Leave a message with you.
If you don't hear from me
again in the next hour or two,
- What?
- I want you to call the police,
- Call the police and
give them this dress.
- Wait let me grab a pen.
- 4, 2, 9, 4, 4 29 Mulholland.
- Mulholland.
- And they should
look into it. Okay.
I'm gonna speak.
I'm gonna speak
reasonably to them. Okay.
- Reasonably.
Yes. Be, be very cautious.
- I will.
- Take care of yourself.
- I will.
- Call me if you need anything.
- Look after yourself.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Thank you.
(knocking)
(dog barking)
- Hello.
- Oh hello.
Welcome to the par-tay.
- Oh, thank you.
- Come in, please.
Make yourself at home.
- I'm Arthur.
- Can I get you
something to drink?
- Absolutely.
- What would you like?
- Do you have any wine?
- Of course.
(ominous music plays)
- You do realize this is
not very safe, don't you?
- Optimism.
- Yes.
- Yes
- Yes.
- Cheers to that.
- Optimism.
- Optimism.
- I'm still a little worried.
- Do you want a hug?
- No for god's sake.
- I'm going to give you a hug.
- No, please don't.
- Okay.
All six feet apart then sir.
- Six. If that's okay.
- I can still give you a hug.
- Well, let's do the numbers.
I mean, the statistical
possibilities
of me actually
catching something.
Versus the statistical
possibilities of
me getting laid.
I think I might go for the
latter at the end of the day.
So, I will give you a hug.
- Cheers to that.
Aw, a little pat on
the back. I love that.
Oh I didn't know that.
Oh wow. You just told me
something I didn't know.
I might not know.
- Hello.
- Oh gosh. You were the one
with the wonderful mask.
- Todd Ackerman.
- Todd Ackerman.
- Todd fucking Ackerman.
- Now wait a minute.
That name rings a bell.
That name rings a bell.
Oh my god!
You're Todd Ackerman.
That's Todd Ackerman.
I do apologize, Todd.
It took a moment for me
to wrap my head around it.
- Oh no worries.
- Of course.
- No worries.
- You're wonderful.
- Thank you. Thank
you Thank you.
Thank you very much.
- Oh my gosh.
- This isn't really
very good. Is it?
- Look in the mirror.
Oh, you want kiss me?
I'm so pretty.
- [Harry] Let's experience.
Let's experience this
beautiful, beautiful tunnel.
This tunnel of despair,
this dark dark hole.
Black hole that we
have to go through.
- I've seen you looking
at me the whole night.
- Can you pass me that candle?
- [Harry] Come out and
floss and float so hard.
- This one?
- Yeah.
- So tell me how long have
you two known each other?
I'm just interested.
- Um, well.
- Are you fucking police?
- It's safe to say
we're new friends.
(woman laughing)
Or a vogue.
It's a vogue. You know
I used it while travel.
- My wife smokes vogues.
- Oh, oh, you have a wife.
- You have a wife.
- He has a wife.
You have a wife.
- Sh, how about a
kiss, a kiss again.
- Will you kiss me?
- MM-hm.
- In my world at the moment,
people wouldn't be doing that.
- Dancing? Feeling good?
- Hugging.
- Oh, because we're
gonna catch a virus.
- Yes.
- What if the virus is not real?
What if there is no virus.
- From where you are? You
just, everything is invincible.
There is no way
you can be touched.
You're in that
beautiful part of life,
which I wish I was
still in, but I'm not.
And I never will be again,
but there are people
around me who I love.
Who have gone or are going.
- Okay, you're afraid of death.
- Yes.
And I'd be a liar
to say that I'm not.
And so would you.
- Did you practice that speech?
- No.
- Good speech.
- In my mind, I prefaced it,
and on my web page I've
written it a couple of times.
- Did you get any comments?
- Yes lots of comments.
She doesn't like me.
- Come follow me.
(Harry howling)
- [Radio] Police force.
We are getting some
reinforcements in
from Ventura county.
The national guard-
- Cecil!
- [Radio] What will really help
is if more people
observe the curfew
and get off the streets.
And frankly, if the
people who are bent
on doing destruction here,
end up stopping.
(melancholy music playing)
There are legitimate
reasons for quarantines
and the grievances
and complaints
and just wrongs that
need to be addressed.
And what we're seeing here
is a tragic result of that.
(sirens wailing)
(vibrating sounds)
- I love this one.
Discover it.
No this room.
- Is that good? Some crazy shit.
This is crazy.
There's.
- Oh.
- How's that?
- Oh.
- Come with me.
- I got you. I got you.
- Oh.
- Ah, fuck me, Jesus.
- Hi Todd.
Hi.
- Hey babe.
- Hi.
- Where's your mask?
- Harry didn't want the mask.
- Harry didn't want a mask?
- No, it's not.
I mean, we were just like chill.
- You're doing yoga.
- I drank lot.
- I'm fine.
- It's okay. We're just friends.
- No, chill, chill.
- What's your name?
- Clara.
- Clara. Clara's your name?
- Yeah.
What's your name? It's
very nice to meet you.
- I actually, honey,
I was eating this.
- Can you find your mask?
And can you put it on?
You don't know her?
I don't know her.
- Babe nobody has a mask on.
- Nobody has a mask on here.
Why does nobody
have a mask on here?
Ask Harry you, you're the one
that introduced me to him.
- So is he the boss of you?
- You introduced me to him!
- I know I did,
but you know what?
There's absolutely no social
distancing going on over here.
- Obviously not.
And how did you even find me?
I was invited by Harry,
who you introduced me to.
- That has nothing
to do with it.
- Cool.
- I showed up. I always
know how to find you.
- I'm eating the sandwich.
I'm not fucking, I'm
not doing anything.
I'm just, she was giving-
- You're in a closet
with a woman with no bra.
- Hey, Hey. Just so you know,
if you just give me a second.
- I really have
nothing to say to you.
I really need to
speak to my husband.
- If you just give me a
second and I'll leave. Okay?
I just want to tell you,
that we are here trying
to be very nicely lovely,
connected to the higher purpose
that we're talking about.
And it's nothing, nothing,
nothing sexual at all.
- That's right, why you
were on this lap. Anyway.
- Have you ever heard
about gymnastics
and stretching your body?
- Yes.
- Babe.
- I do know all about that
because I do it every day.
- Not cool that
you don't trust me.
- I didn't need to see your text
because I have
been trusting you.
But for Christ's sake.
- Babe, I am fucked up and
I can't do this right now.
- What are you fucked up on?
- I don't know.
Ask fucking Harry.
- Can you just answer
your own questions?
Does everything have to
filter through Harry?
- We drank something, babe,
we're doing our fucking thing.
The thing you taught me.
- What is that fucking thing?
- And I drink this
thing and I'm fucked up.
I mean, stop.
Stop.
- Is that why I was-
- Stop!
- Because there's
a girl on your lap
and you wanted to
have the freedom
to have a girl on your lap.
(Todd shouting)
And that's why you
haven't been at home
for the last five fucking
nights because of-
(Todd screaming)
- Stop!
- Yes. Stop it because
we're not bad people.
We didn't want it.
- He's been sober for a year.
Can you tell me what
he's been taking?
- Can I tell you one thing?
- I don't need to
talk to you right now.
You have no mask on.
- But you have one on,
don't you think
you're hot stuff.
- And there's a fucking pandemic
going on for Christ's sake.
- Here's the deal.
I'm changing locations.
I'm going to smoke a cigarette.
You calm down woman.
Never ending shit. Yeah.
Tonight's a night that Harry
designed and I came for it.
So just if you want to ask Harry
about his hidden
plan for this evening
and why you weren't invited,
we've always been invited
to the events before.
Please do.
- You can't even ask him.
- Please ask him.
- This is embarrassing,
- But I can't talk about
it now. I love you though.
- There's absolutely
no social distancing.
- I'm sorry.
I just wanted to tell
you one thing, one thing.
This is my boyfriend Sydney and
we love each other very much
and we would never,
I would never.
And he knew that
we were doing yoga.
- I would love you to talk to
Harry who designed this event.
It's not-
- Do you have a drink.
- No, I do not.
- Why won't you have a drink?
You will help
relax a little bit.
- Get Harry to fucking give
you something to drink.
- You have no idea what the
hell you're doing right now.
- If you can relax, right now.
- If you're gonna be here,
you're taking the fucking drink.
- Maybe there's a chance-
- I'll have a Vodka Stoli
please with cranberries.
You can get it for me, honey.
You can get it for me.
- He wants, he wants,
he just wants freedom-
- I don't need you to tell
me about what he wants.
Can you, do you have a
mask that you could put on
and be responsible?
- May I intervene here.
How are you? How are you?
- You don't know how hard it's
been to keep him straight.
It's like-
- He's had a little whiskey.
- where's your wife
and your baby Harry?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're all my wives.
You're all my wives.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. I'm
gonna take you away.
Yeah.
We're on our way back home.
Oh.
Where's the- Where's the push.
- Harry I don't understand.
It's just like some
kind of double standard.
We were meditating to you
today in our house in Malibu.
And, and it was so
beautiful and there were,
no here, you're missing.
You're missing the,
please Harry put
the, put it down.
- Yeah. Stay. Drink.
(Harry giggling)
- Drink.
- It's like you're leading
a double life. You know?
Where's your wife? Your wife?
- It's okay. It's
okay. It's okay.
- Who are you?
- It's okay. I'm just playing.
- Hello?
Can I order some food please?
Oh yes. Let me get it.
Four portions of
Singapore noodles, some
special fried rice,
three portions lemon
soup, top top gai soup.
Three of those.
And what are your fish dishes.
Okay. You got two of those
and what specials do you have?
No.
Yeah, with tofu,
three of those and yeah
like a chicken noodle.
Yeah. Perfect.
Two of those.
And you could deliver it.
Perfect. Perfect.
They're wearing masks
I hope and gloves too.
- It's all right.
The night is coming.
I guarantee you that. The
night is fucking coming.
(upbeat dance music playing)
- Harry. I never thought
of you like this.
This is a revelation for me.
- I'm glad to hear that.
- Well, I it's a
numbers game, I suppose,
but I do have to try
and cancel something
that I'd set up
earlier in trouble.
(Harry laughing)
- Well, I'm not sure
how I feel about that.
- Well, I-
- Oh, I think it should
be more than the present.
(Harry humming)
- Oh I'm sure I could catch.
(Harry shouting and growling)
- I'm in now.
I was just in the process
of calling off a police raid
and I don't
- Fuck you. Fuck you.
- Well, fuck you, silly, man.
- What the fuck is going on?
- You grotesque,
horrible vermin.
- Dares, dares,
come hear a monster
and do this fucking shit.
(woman laughing)
(drumming)
(Harry humming and chanting)
- Hello? Hello Gretchen.
- Oh, hey.
Hey, how are you?
- It's Arthur?
- Yeah. How are you doing?
- I'm all right. Listen I'm so
sorry calling you this late.
Listen. I wonder
if you can help me.
Did you, did you actually call,
did you actually
call for the police?
- Yeah, I called the police,
but they're not coming.
I mean, there's,
there's a riot going on.
Are you okay? Like
where, where are you?
There's a curfew.
- [Voice On TV] Police
department Michael
Moore said what
happens tonight
really depends on
the citizens of Los
Angeles on what we can do
and what we will
allow to happen.
His officers, there
are 9,000 of them,
but that is not enough
to be everywhere.
They literally
can't be everywhere.
Half of them are
gonna work one shift.
Half of them are gonna
work the other 12.
- Oh, we going to be to closing.
- Are you gonna, are you
gonna keep the building?
- No, this is not belong to us.
- Oh.
- This is to rent. Yeah.
- Then once
everything comes back,
you're gonna have
the same setup.
- Yeah. We're gonna
have the same setup,
but it might be far away.
Because it's still
early, you know?
- They're coming back to soon.
- Yeah. I want make sure
that everyone's safe.
That's why, you know,
I tell all employee,
you can get the food from here
that you don't have to go out.
- [Speaker On TV] There
are legitimate reasons
at the core of this,
there are legitimate grievances.
- Yeah. This is the
temple in my hometown
or what my heart had
on the qu Camara.
And 12 year I send the
money on my part of tip
to the poor kid
in my high school.
And my mom's school
was 80 scholarship
for money under his name.
Nobody know who send
the money until now.
And now the restaurant
closed. I don't have money.
The kid, I feel so much.
You know.
- You sure we got the right
sauces at the right bag?
- Yeah, it did. The,
the, no, not that much.
This one might be.
- That's separate order.
- Yeah. It separate.
Yeah.
- See you next week.
- Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.
Send me the message. Yeah.
- [Speaker On TV] 5:30 in
the morning city Metro buses,
county buses were destroyed.
(sirens wailing)
(Caddy whispering)
(drumming)
- [Harry] Mother, Father,
write your own script.
You can write your own way.
You can be the victim.
Or you can be the hero.
You are your own path.
Hey!
What does it mean?
- It means, nothing.
(woman laughing)
(gong ringing)
(fast drumming)
(Harry shouting)
- [Speaker On Radio]
There will continue to be
a city wide curfew
in the city of Los Angeles
and also a number of other
cities, Pasadena, Santa Monica.
And similar cities that-
- Arthur?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Oh my God.
Thank you.
- Oh, you're welcome.
- Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you made it.
I worried you wouldn't be
able to make it through
with all the riots.
- Yeah.
- Now don't drive
too fast please.
- Okay. Are you okay though?
- Yes. I'm fine.
Yes, I'm fine.
- You smell like smoke.
Were they smoking?
- Oh, I was only in
there for a little while.
Yes they were. They
were smoking a lot.
- Who smokes these
days. That's so weird.
- They were and they weren't
just smoking tobacco.
- Like cigarettes?
Oh, not just tobacco?
- No not just tobacco. They
were all over each other.
- Really?
- Yes.
(drumming and music plays)
(Harry shouting)
(Everyone chanting)
(dog barking)
(Harry and everyone chanting)
(gong ringing)
(dog barking)
(bells chiming)
- I'm going to take you home.
- Mm. Thank you.
- Come on let's go.
- Take me home.
- Get in the car.
- Where are your shoes.
- Ah, fuck shoes.
- You're quiet.
- Yeah.
- Well, what are they
gonna do without you?
- Oh, they're gonna be
fine. They'll sleep.
Sleep and go into that
gentle good night.
- I don't know. But that
sounds permanent to me.
- It's not all permanence.
(Harry laughing)
- You're kidding?
- No I'm not.
I'm not kidding you.
(melancholy music plays)
- There's no afterlife.
- If there isn't,
soon we forget.
- There's no afterlife.
- Our consciousness
is dispersed.
- Shared.
- Shared.
- I got, I got a, I got a
son that's out here, man.
He's homeless. He's been
homeless for a couple years now.
He's a good kid.
He's straight a kid, he's
diagnosed with bipolarism
and he's 20.
He's outside.
Somewhere, and that kid,
every time I pass
a tent I just peek.
Breathe. And-
- You'll find him.
- Yeah., I'll find him.
It's all myself to make sure
that he feels secure time.
I did. I did before
we used to, you know,
its my first, my son,
I only have two kids.
That's Renee, looks
just like him.
Well, and I never,
they used to ask me what
did you have any sad days.
(Harry laughing)
Some days I'm shaving. I
said, I wonder, just be easy.
- Why you stopping here?
I want to go over there.
- I know. I'm just trying
to catch my breath.
- Pray for your soul.
- You ready to go home?
- I'm ready to go
home. You know why?
Because I love my wife.
- You should.
- I love green.
- You should.
You should love her
with all your heart.
- And yeah, I've abused
her. I've tortured her.
Done terrible things.
I've been unfaithful.
I love her.
- Do you think she knows that?
- I do.
But I want her to
know that I love her.
- You just tell her,
You just tell her as soon
as you walk in that house.
(Harry coughing)
- My love.
Marshmallows!
I love you.
(guitar strumming)
(music playing)
- What up buddy?
- Hold on. How you

- I'm all right.
- Listen.
I need some help.
My son is out there somewhere.
His name is Cecil.
Have you seen him?

Does he live around here?
- I'm just not sure.

- I don't have shit.
I got food. I got shelter.
I got a houses that

Trust me, something.
- Nah man. Don't get weird, man.

I Already told you that.
- Hey man. I'm not,
you're the one asking
me to get in your car.
- Yeah, I know.
But you keep like

If you don't trust

(traffic noise)
- I trust him.
- All right. All right. Okay.
- Trust me now?
- Yeah, Yeah.
- You trust me.
At any point you
want me to stop,
turn around, you just
let me know, okay?
- Okay.
- All right.
I don't know how you guys
know it's just the streets.
- How long has your son
been on the streets?
- He's been gone,
well, one first time he went,
he was gone for six years.
- Oh.
- Then I got him back
and went on the program.
One class away from his GED.
I had to go to the
hospital for something
and I guess it was too much
pressure and, and he went out.
He went away again.
(piano and melancholy
music playing)
(birds chirping)
- Check out your new place.
- Thanks.
(dog barking)
- And we got a dog.
- Unbelievable.
Hello.
- Be good to yourselves.
- Okay.
Man.
Hello?
- Look at all this
they got food and .
I don't believe it.
Holy shit.
This is like, oh wow.
Look at all this.
(flies buzzing)
(Harry shouting)
(blood trickling)
(tantric music plays)
I'm traveling blind
Seems our love is gone.
I'm on my own.
I'm part blind.
He said goodnight
Then he walked away.
And I know I'm
traveling blind.
No one is here.
Now I see
I fly above my memories
No dead from death again
I'm on my own.
I'm gone now
What is here
What I see
I fly above our memories
Now death fly
I'm on my own
(car honking)
(ominous music plays)
(Caddy laughing)
Oh god. Forgive me.
God forgive me.
Can you forgive me.
Can you.
(elevator beeping)
(melancholy music plays)
(air whooshing)
(thunder rumbles)
- [Alex] The corona
virus pandemic
sparked extraordinary levels
of stress amongst us all.
Now, imagine what it's like
for those who are already
struggling with PTSD
long before this began.
Providing health to
our veterans, this
is Inside the Issues.
Welcome to Inside the
Issues, I'm Alex Cohen
coming to you from my home.
- [Speaker] It just brought
back horrible memories
of the day that I found out
that my son Eric was murdered.
I can feel their pain.
I know what they're
going through.
- [Interviewer] You said
you can't bring yourself
to watch the video
of George Floyd.
- [Speaker] No, I can't.
- [Interviewer] And
yet it's the video
that has opened a lot
of other people's eyes.
- [Speaker] Yes.
11 times he's repeated,
I can't breathe,
but the disconcerned officers,
- I can't fucking breathe.
- [Speaker] They paid no
attention to his cries.
They continued murdering him.
And this is just like the
sentiments of this young man
who was killed the other day.
The man was trying
to only breathe.
- [Alex] Now an
outspoken activist,
to bring justice for so
many who have been hurt.
- [Speaker] I don't want
any other mother to suffer.
(melancholy music plays)
My love is gone
I'm on my own
I'm traveling light
He said goodnight
then he walked away
I'm on my own
I'm traveling light
I'm traveling light
My love is gone
I'm on my own
I'm traveling alone
Said goodnight
then he walked away
I'm on my own
I'm traveling alone
Nobody's here
I fly away
My memories
No death tonight
Death again
I'm on my own
Good night
(car beeps)
Love is here
I see
I fly and never never leave
(car engine starts)
(tires screeching)
I'm on my own
(tense melancholy music)
(man humming)
- And with that sound,
we hear infinity
and we hear the vibrations
of our universe.
And you know that all
will come, the final end.
- Yeah.
- And all will come down
pressure when a child.
(child laughing)
- Yes.
This is contemplation,
even the most beautiful
mathematical form,
even if it's true will not
be able to be contemplated.
That's contemplate.
And in meditation,
all is just thoughts
amongst right.
Soar, like a mythical animal.
Feel our galaxy flushing
into that dark hole.
I'm getting rid of
all of your illnesses,
all of your misdeeds.
All of your dirty thoughts.
- I'm here.
(Harry snapping)
- Do you feel lighter?
Of course you do.
I am here cure me, Johan.
(birds chirping)
Feel the breeze through the
windows, wherever you are,
go out, be touched
by the sun today.
And know that you're
protected by Harry.
Well, that was
today's meditation.
You know where to reach me.
- Fuck.
(woman exhaling)
That's it?
That's all he is gonna do today?
- This guy's amazing.
(man exhales)
- I feel light, I
feel lightheaded.
- Well, honey, you
were just meditating.
Of course you feel light.
- No, it's something else.
You can't meditate that fast.
It's something. He's
channeling something.
- He is.
- I feel, I can feel something
and I don't believe
in this shit.
He knows something.
He's unlocked something.
You need anything honey?
- [Reporter] Floyd was declared
dead at a local hospital.
- [Caddy] So fucking tired.
- [Reporter On radio] The
incident, have been fired.
The city today,
releasing the disgraced
officer's names, Derek Chauvin,
Thomas Lane, Tou Thao,
and J Alexander Kueng.
Chauvin is the officer

Thao is the officer standing.
Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey
calling for him to be

- [Man On radio]
If you had done it.
- You okay.
- [Man On radio] Or
if I had done it.
- Yep.
- [Man On Radio] We would
be behind bars, right?
- I just wanted
to give you this.
- You couldn't
bring it out, huh?
- I'm sorry.
At least, at least I'm
giving you this, right?
- I know.
- Thank you.
- And I appreciate it all time.
- I hope you do.
- So how are you doing?
- I'm okay. Have
you heard anything?
Have you heard
anything from Cecil?
- No.
- Okay.
- No. You know,
he was on the street for
seven years before we got him.
He wants to be free.
You know?
He's like Cecil the lion.
Only they killed him,
but we're not gonna,
they're not gonna kill Cecil.
- Right. You take
care of yourself.
Don't compromise anything.
- Okay.
- Thank you for this. Okay.
No, no, no it's mine now.
- I just wanna touch
it. Just wanna touch it.
- But you gave it to me.
- I know I gave it to you,
but you understand
what all of this means?
- What does it mean?
- These are all
feathers for freedom
and this is the whole
land, earth, and sky.
- Okay.
- I never had a chance
to tell you about that.
- Well, I felt the
magic of it immediately.
And I'm gonna search
the land, the sky,
the sun and the moon
to find this boy.
- I know you will.
- Okay. You're happy?
- I'm happy.
- Okay. Okay. I gotta go.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Take care.
Wait a minute. Don't move.
- No, I wouldn't do that.
That's a nice rollater.
Did I pay for that?
- Yeah. I like that.
- Yeah.
- I like it better
than the other one.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Call me later.
- Maybe.
Okay.
Who's gonna take care of me.
Who the fuck is gonna
take care of me.
(birds chirping)
- Do you know who's
gonna be there tonight?
- Just a few.
- The same people on the
listening to lecture.
(child whining)
- Yes.
- That's enough. Maybe.
- It's good for her.
It awakens her spirit.
- Maybe I should come
with you this evening?
- I think it's
probably better not.
- There's a tennis lesson today.
- Huh? Well enjoy it.
- So what is your name? Caddy?
- Caddy is all you need to know.
- Caddy, can I ask
you a question please?
Do you mind? Sometimes it's
hard for me to breathe.
Do you? You've got on your mask.
Do you mind if I take
off mine and I'm sorry.
- You know that when you,
when people spray spittle
that it stays in the air.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
- For fucking eight
minutes. Did you know that?
- I won't do that. I promise.
Just I'm sorry,
but, but promise.
- Don't, don't.
- I promise.
- Don't push my buttons.
Wait a minute. What?
I'm sorry. Ma'am do you,
do you listen to what
I've done this.
- And I'm okay. By the
way, I've been tested.
Okay.
- I don't really give a damn.
- I'm wait, listen.
I'm sorry. Listen.
I don't wanna offend.
- Yeah. Well, you, you kind
of trivializing something
that's very fucking important.
- Yes sir.
Yes, sir.
I get it.
But you're healthy, right?
You're totally healthy.
- You see this?
This is my bag of Juju. Ain't
nothing going to happen to me.
Okay.
I got people that love me.
I got holy water.
I got spill catches.
I got rosary beads.
- So when was the last time
that you were down here?
Do you, do you drive
through here a lot?
- I drive here a lot.
- Have you ever had like
any issues with people?
- You know what?
I lost a son. Okay.
And my son is on the street,
on the street now for two years.
And every now and
then I'll drive
to a different homeless area
to see if I can see him.
- Do, do you know that
you just ran a red light?
- I don't give a shit.
- Dude. You're gonna be okay.
- Yeah. I'm okay.
What hurts me, you can't heal.
(upbeat music plays)
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart.
It's never true. Never,
never be with you
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart.
You were so never true.
Never, never be with you.
Oh baby, I need time
It's gotta be very long.
But I'll be
Be my arctic start but
don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Don't take my heart.
Don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Be my arctic star but
don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
Don't take my heart
- Oh hey, I brought you a gift.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Thank you. Some
kind of crystal, or.
- I knew you had a, an
accident with a motorcycle.
- What's it mean?
- It's, it opens up
your heart power.
- Thank you. You want
the, the bag back?
Oh.
- No. That's that's for you.
- Thank you very much.
It's great.
All right. Shall we?
- Does Mary play tennis?
- Not really. No.
I don't know where
Mary is actually.
- Huh?
- She was out for
a walk earlier.
Huh.
- What is that?
- Eh, it just fell from a tree.
- It's a little blessing.
Sound.
- Coming from Harry.
- Probably.
- I played with a
good buddy of mine,
McEnroe here the other day.
An old friend of mine.
Guy's still a maniac.
I never quite got that far,
but he was a big teacher.
It's, supporter.
- Like, you could be in a
prison where ever you are.
- Step into it.
Connect with that ball.
Follow through.
All right. Follow through.
Beautiful.
You got it.
You're looking good.
All right, let's
try hitting this.
- So great.
(piano playing)
- Forehand.
- Ah.
- Forehand.
- Maybe it's just not your game.
I gotta be honest.
And look, it's gonna
take some time.
Yeah.
- Will you help me out.
- But yeah. I mean, look,
today is a hard day.
I gotta get to the
event and you know,
Mary's at home, but yeah,
we should play doubles
sometime all of us.
- So those are the tame ones.
I just wanted to get a
little bit more into it.
- Yes. Oh, let's see that.
- Right.
So then this is the first one.
- Don't be a Dick. Wear a mask.
Oh, I think that, you know.
- Is this, is this being
racially insensitive?
- Why? Because it's a long Dick?
- Because it's black.
- No, I have to say it
didn't cross my mind.
What crossed my mind initially
was just a picture of a
penis, which seems, I mean,
if somebody's wheeling their
four year old around here
and the four year old
says, mommy what's that?
- If the four year old
can read, I mean, come on.
Then they're
learning how to read.
I think it's, I
think it's great.
We need to be doing something.
I just don't have
anything else to do.
I just think that we need
to be wearing our mask.
'Cause we need to
be doing our part.
And every time I see
somebody without a mask,
I wanna be like, Hey
you motherfucker,
why aren't you wearing a mask?
I'm walking down
a lonely road
I'm looking for
a precious rose
I'm looking for the hero.
That I will grow
I'm walking down
a lonely road
I'm looking for a
face in the store
I'm looking for the hero
That I can grow
- This is Cecil, I was
trying to tell you about.
- He does look a lot like you.
- Yeah. He's got
that happy smile.
This is during his,
this is just the day I
took him to get a haircut.
(man laughing)
I shave and a haircut, okay.
Which he stood for,
but he wasn't happy about it.
He's got my eyes.
All right, should we say
hello? Or should we just go?
- He's ready.
- Okay.
Let's go.
My son, my son I've been
missing for a few years.
He goes by Cecil.
- Cecil?
- Here.
- Yeah.
- You have?
- Yeah. over in Pico union.
- Pico union.
- Yeah. Like on Broadway.
- So Alvarado.
- Olympic and Alvarado. And.
- Oh, you know,
that makes sense.
'Cause he used to stay
at a halfway house.
You've definitely
seen his face before?
- Yes.
- Next time you see him tell
him his dad is looking for him.
I'm not mad at him. I
just want to help him.
- Okay.
If I.
- If I see him I will.
- We just got offered that
motel three month program thing.
- Yeah.
We had people come today
that I have their number
and all that.
They, they want, they want us
to like immediately jump up
and we wanted to salvage stuff.
- You guys do that. Right?
- They were gonna pick you.
They wanna take you
right then and there,
they had a room key.
And you guys didn't go?
- Um, yeah.
We have a friend over there.
He thinks that that people are
being put in quarantine camps
and we're all gonna be like
shoved into one little zombie
something or whatever.
He just, he's paranoid.
He's very paranoid.
He, some of the things
he says make sense,
but he's been in Hollywood.
(loud sounds drowning out
radio coverage of George Floyd)
- [Reporter On Radio] The
bystander's cell phone
recording Floyd's pleas.
This is the second video
of a black man dying
to emerge in less
than a month month.
- [Man On Radio] Seeing Ahmaud
Arbery killed by citizens
while he's jogging,
watching George Floyd be
killed unarmed by police.
All of these incidents mesh to-
(rain sounds drowning out radio)
(humming)
(birds chirping)
- [Man On Radio] But
starting a few years ago,
we started giving out
medals for de-escalation
for successfully saving lives
to show that that was the
highest responsibility
that we had.
Not just saving lives that
somebody shooting at strangers.
But a moment when you
could take someone's life,
what did you do to make sure
that wasn't the end of it.
So sure, here in California,
across this nation
there's things to do,
but right now.
- For Harry, right?
- Yeah.
- Bye.
- How's the quarantine
treating you?
- Ah, it's okay.
- Like it?
- It's brought
peace, spirituality.
It's like the earth
needed to breathe,
sort of attack the human lung.
- A little spiritual
cleansing huh.
- Yeah.
- To me it all feels like
a little racial cleansing.
- Yeah.
(vibration sounds)
I will bless you. Bless you.
And I forgive you. And
you shall be forgiven.
(Harry humming)
- Do you think there's
gonna be a second wave?
- Yeah. Unfortunately.
I mean, I just don't know.
No sports.
The whole going to the
movie thing, you know.
How much further we got now?
- I'm sorry?
- How much further do we got?
- About another couple of miles.
- A couple of miles.
I don't really like being
in this neighborhood.
- You don't like it?
- Not really.
- Well, it's up above Olly.
- Yeah. It's a little bit to,
- But the air is clean.
- The air is clean.
Have you ever had a slice
of hummingbird cake?
- No.
- It's a Southern thing.
In the middle, there's
caramelized butter, nuts.
(Caddy speaking
slowly and distorted)
(ominous music plays)
(growling)
(ominous music plays)
(birds chirping)
- Hey.
- Hi there.
- Hey you guys.
- Hey, how are you doing?
- Jack.
- How have you been?
- Can I offer you a
light refreshment?
- I would love a drink and
I got the real poison here
for later.
Do you mind if I
keep it chilled?
- For sure.
- Let me just put
it in the fridge.
- Beetle juice.
- Yeah.
(Harry laughing)
- Perfect.
- (indistinct)
Please forgive me.
- Honey.
Honey?
Todd.
Yeah.
You're leaving?
- Yeah. Hold on.
I'll be back.
I'm just gonna, I got the text.
I can't.
I gotta go, right?
I know you're upset.
You introduced me to this.
You're a part of this too.
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay.
I'm not dictating all the rules.
I can show you the text.
- I don't need to see the text.
I don't need to see a text.
- It specifically
says come alone.
- I don't need to see it.
- You would've received
one of these texts.
So I don't want to call.
- It's on you. If
it's not what you say.
This is on you.
- Right? Well, before this,
you were trying to get
me to even accept this.
And now that I am accepting this
allow me the freedom
to go to school.
- I am so glad that you
are, please hear me on that.
So glad you are.
Have fun.
Breathe. Don't
forget to breathe.
From here.
(Todd mumbling)
- That's right.
- Have you been
working pretty steady
during this time or?
- No man, one day I said, hey,
why not put this
car to good use?
I wanted to see how people
are behaving during this time,
you know.
- Oh. So you've only been
driving since the quarantine?
- One day.
- Wow.
- This is the day.
So anyway, if I sit
still, you know,
I mean, it's gonna get
like suicidal or something.
So I figure if I get.
- What's that?
- Don't worry
about me. I'm okay.
You know, times like this,
you go through some
fucking weird affirmations.
- I think everybody's
going through that brother.
- Well, everybody's
lost money, man.
That's what I keep
telling people.
I had a guy in my car said, man,
you know how much money
I've lost this year?
I said every, it's not,
it's not personal, dude.
Everybody's lost something.
Okay. 2020, what the fuck.
Sounded so optimistic.
And not only that, some
people, but like they're gone.
You know what I mean?
(ominous music plays)
- You know, I found
this guy, Harry,
is somebody my wife
introduced me onto.
And I gotta say.
- Wait, wait a
minute, wait a minute.
Hold on, Harry, Harry.
That was the first
guy I drove up here.
Okay, strange guy.
- That's interesting. But my
Uber came right through to you.
Right?
- You know what? I, I,
he did something
that was involved.
He had just set it all up.
- Let me show you some
videos I took this morning.
People are crazy.
Oh no. You don't
want to see that.
- Who do you follow
on your Instagram.
Are you one of those creepers?
- She's just a friend.
- That like your
grandson or something?
- Look, you see, let
me step far back. If-
- You, have a mustache!
(woman laughing)
- I had no idea
you had a mustache.
- I just, it's funny.
I just didn't know
that you had a mustache.
- Well, exactly. People
see this, they swipe left,
but they see that
they swipe right.
And I actually end up being
friends with somebody,
and then we talk and then
they, they, they, you know,
we get on and I
mean, I don't know.
They may not be who
they, who they look like.
All right. I shouldn't
have told you anything.
- I mean, you seem
to be okay, but.
- Well put it like this.
You're the first
person I've found
who actually has
a similar mindset.
- I like the mustache.
You know, really,
you should just be yourself.
- It's never worked.
- I don't understand why, why?
Like that's, what's
wrong with, excuse me.
That's what's wrong
with society today
is that people aren't
okay with themselves.
And don't don't care
about other shit.
Yeah. So if you just cared,
I don't know, about yourself
more than other people,
then you wouldn't
have to do that.
(bells chiming)
(knocking)
- Hello?
I'm Todd.
- Bless you.
Today, when I woke up,
I noticed this nest,
outside my kitchen door
and I've been watching
birds fearlessness
over the last couple of weeks.
And I heard all the
little birds cheeping
with joy and happiness that
obviously just broken free
from the egg and walked away.
And then I heard
a real kerfuffle
and it was a blue Jay
and the blue Jay had
gone into the nest
and killed all the
new little baby birds.
He ripped them apart, feathers
were moving everywhere.
Parts of the nest were destroyed
and the mother and the
father were looking on.
I wouldn't say horror, because
nature is a certain way.
They were looking on
in panic, in despair.
And the blue Jay was happy
and the blue jay ate
the birds and flew away.
Let's join the cosmic
dance of destruction.
(everyone laughing)
- Now we'll have
a little elixir.
- What's in that Harry?
'Cause my son's gonna do it.
- Oh, your two sons.
- Yeah. Well, he's
done it before.
He's the younger.
- I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
I ask for forgiveness
and gift giveness.
Return your glasses.
- Siri,
can you please text
Harry and ask him,
what time should I be there?
- [Siri] It's time
for you to leave.
Your car is here.
(upbeat music plays)
I'm here not
because I love you
But because I want you
But I want to use you
Slide slide slide
Boom boom boom
boom boom boom boom
Ba-Boom ba-boom ba-boom
Boom boom boom boom
boom boom boom boom
- Hello, I'm waiting.
I'm here not
because I love you.
But because I
- Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah.
How you doing?
- Fine and you.
You get confused?
- Yeah.
Keep trying it.
Thank you.
- Do you mind stopping by
like a 711 gas station?
(loud banging)
- Ah shit.
- I just need to
get some cigarettes.
Be really quick.
- Did I get a fucking flat.
You hold me at night
losing my mind.
I'm losing my mind
Only you can heat the goose
Only you can
make me sea sick
- Nice.
- Very good.
- Very good. Okay, yeah.
- Yeah. I'm open
to the adventure.
This is.
- Are you, are you faithful?
- To my wife?
- Yeah.
- I try to be.
- Do any of you feel the elixir?
- What was, what was in that?
(man laughing)
(Harry shouting)
What is it in there Harry?
Come on. Just tell me.
Just tell me what's
in there Harry.
Just, fucking come on man.
Whoa.
- Magic. They're
subatomic Particles.
We're vibrating.
It's a celestial magic.
- Hey.
(Harry snapping)
(vibration sounds)
(birds chirping)
(bells chiming)
- It's not a 711. But.
- As long as they
have smokes I'm happy.
- Oh, you're a smoker, huh?
- Not really.
I just smoke to look hot
and I'm going to the kind
of event I want to look hot.
- Oh, you know what?
I don't even know
what this event is.
I've talked a few
people somewhere.
Everybody seems to
be going somewhere.
You know, isn't
everybody supposed to
stay inside right now.
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay. And not, it's not
about you getting infected,
it's about you
infecting other people.
- All right. Thank you.
I appreciate your wisdom.
- I just had to
tell you that. Okay.
- Yeah. Thanks.
I'll be right back.
If I leave my stuff
here, please don't leave.
- Do I look like the type of
guys that would take your shit?
- Well, I'm just happy you
were connected to my Uber app.
- Like meaning what?
(man laughing)
(Harry howling)
(others howling with Harry)
(bells chiming)
(Caddy coughing)
- Why are you
coughing? Are you okay?
- I'm choking on my own spittle.
- Take exit 4B.
- If you want, you can
the mask for a second.
I'll just put mine on.
- All right.
- In two miles, use
the right two lanes.
- No don't do this.
The tire, baby.
- Take the downtown west exit.
(man laughing)
- In a quarter mile
merge onto US101 north.
- Wow.
- I mean you might
wanna be careful
'cause I don't know if
you can merge like that.
- What are you talking about?
- No. No, I'm just
making sure we're safe.
- We're safe. Are you?
You want to get out?
- No, not.
- Let you out right here.
- I'm fine. I'm really good.
- Okay.
'Cause I don't like criticism.
(background humming)
- Ah. They're not
social distancing.
- What do you want, man?
- We're not asking for
our picture to be taken.
Can you put the camera down.
- Oh of course.
I'm so, so sorry.
- Stop.
- Yes, absolutely.
There.
See. All right then.
So, I'll see you around.
- What are you
gonna do with that?
- Oh, nothing.
- What the fuck?
- I don't know.
Hey man.
- Are you posting about us?
- No, of course
I am not posting.
- Give me that phone.
- But I will if you don't
keep your distance please.
- Come here.
Hey man. Give me the phone.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please keep your distance.
- Give it back.
- No.
- Hey, come here.
I'll catch you fatty.
- No, no.
Stay back.
- Give me the phone.
- Just stay back. Please.
I'll delete it.
I'll delete it.
Okay?
- Let me see it then.
- Just stay there.
- Let me see it.
- Here I'm showing
it to you right now.
Let me go back.
You play this. Whoa.
Let me play it.
I'm trying to be reasonable.
- Give me your phone.
- Do you understand that?
You silly thing.
- Did you just call him silly?
- No. I'm, I don't mean.
Hold still.
Hold still.
See, look there it is.
There.
- You work in like law
enforcement or something?
- No, of course not.
No. I work in insurance.
Well I used to. I'm retired now.
All right then. Good day.
Thank you.
- Here let me have that phone.
- No, no. It's okay.
- Give me some more money.
- No.
Oh god. For fuck's sake.
Okay.
(Harry growling)
- Look at the sun.
Close your eyes.
(humming and vibrating)
- What do you folks do up here?
Just like meet up here, what
do you drink wine, beer,
craft beer, what? Vodka?
- Hopefully have sex.
- Yeah. What?
- Hopefully they have sex.
- Yeah. You know,
I saw this thing on
Portland porn once
where this chick was
having dope me parties.
And she would buy like some
body weed and massage shit.
People get on the couch and
they all wrestled together
and you're supposed
to ask permission.
Like, I'm gonna put my
hand on your knee. Okay.
I'm gonna touch
your shoulder. Okay.
And that goes on and on and
playing some tantric jazz shit.
And by the end of the evening,
you're all melted together.
Like a, like a tub of butter.
Is that what this is?
- Yep.
- Are you just jogging me
off now? You tired of me.
(woman laughing)
- Is that it?
- This is it. The
gate's ahead I believe.
Swore I've been before.
- Do you mind pulling
up a little higher?
So I don't have to get
out by these trash cans
just right up there or anywhere?
- Oh I thought the trash cans
would be appropriate, no?
- Leave the lights.
- Screw it.
(dog barking)
- Shit.
- It's okay.
- Ah, what is your name?
- Clara.
- Clara.
- Hi.
(Clara gagging/laughing)
Does it taste good?
- Yeah.
- Fuck.
- I'd do it down, hit me one.
You find a way, anyway.
- Salud boys.
(gong ringing)
(Clara laughing)
(traffic noise)
(humming)
- Caddy?
- Yeah. Caddy.
- Okay.
- How you doing?
Have a good night.
You all right?
- Fuck.
- Um, let's see.
So.
- Some people are
just fucking crazy.
- What's the matter?
- So we're going to.
- What?
- Hollywood police.
- Okay.
(tantric vibrating music)
(Harry laughing)
- Let's party.
(people clapping)
(Harry shouting)
- [ Arthur]
Irresponsible I thought.
If people could actually
think they're doing,
I mean, I don't want
humiliate people.
I don't shame them or
anything like that.
- No.
- But, but I just think that.
- The detectives-
- They're not
taking it seriously.
No, no, no.
I've just been
calling over there
and I talk to
someone for a while
and they hang up on me 'cause
they think, oh, in that case.
Jesus.
- You know this has been a
pretty strange day as we.
I think there's some sort
of gathering going on.
I mean,
some sort of like hipster or
some sort of anti quarantine
fuck everybody else party.
- Oh Caddy. That's a great idea.
I should go there. And if I
call the police from there,
- Then you'll have the
evidence right behind you.
- Exactly.
- In your state,
I think that's better than
trying to barge in there.
I have the last address
still on my phone.
'Cause literally I've dropped
fucking four people off there.
- I don't want to
get you in trouble.
- I don't give a shit.
What else I got to do
but live my life.
(upbeat party music playing)
(ominous music playing)
- What is your name?
- Sydney.
- Do you ever go by Arthur ever?
- Do I, do I go by what?
- Arthur?
- No?
- No.
What, what are
you talking about?
- Do you know who I am?
- I do now.
- Hey coach.
Harry.
- Mr. Black.
- What an evening, right?
- What was in that drink Harry?
- It's okay. It's good.
You're fine. You're fine.
- No, just because-
(Harry whispering)
- I'll take care of you.
(Harry shushing Todd)
(drumming and gong ringing)
- [Caddy] What's in
another man's phone
is none of my business.
- I, I, sorry just because
you get old doesn't mean you,
you know?
- Yeah.
At our age, you lucky
we get what we get.
As long, as long as they don't
have to take their teeth out.
(laughing)
I heard that works too though.
- I have actually dated somebody
who had to take their teeth out.
- There you go. How was it?
- It was laborious. Yeah.
- 'Cause then you had to
adjust her hips and knees.
(Arthur laughing)
Shoulder popped out.
(Caddy laughing)
Was that my motherfucking turn.
Ah fucking son of
a motherfucker.
- I'll be quiet.
- It's right here.
It's right here.
I've taken it so many times.
I should have know it
with the back of my hand.
There it is.
But you be careful.
You have a, you got it.
You know, you got anything,
with you to protect
yourself at all.
(ominous music playing)
- I just have my phone.
- Okay.
- Hello, Gretchen.
- Oh, Hey Arthur.
- Yes. I'm glad I got you.
- Yeah. Are you alright?
- Nothing's wrong? It's fine.
I just wanted to call
and tell you that I,
and I'm.
- What do you mean
nothing's wrong?
- I'm fine actually.
But I found a strange party
where seems like
a lot of people.
- Oh.
- And I'm going up
there, but I wanted to-
- Well, you have to be nice.
- Leave a message with you.
If you don't hear from me
again in the next hour or two,
- What?
- I want you to call the police,
- Call the police and
give them this dress.
- Wait let me grab a pen.
- 4, 2, 9, 4, 4 29 Mulholland.
- Mulholland.
- And they should
look into it. Okay.
I'm gonna speak.
I'm gonna speak
reasonably to them. Okay.
- Reasonably.
Yes. Be, be very cautious.
- I will.
- Take care of yourself.
- I will.
- Call me if you need anything.
- Look after yourself.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Thank you.
(knocking)
(dog barking)
- Hello.
- Oh hello.
Welcome to the par-tay.
- Oh, thank you.
- Come in, please.
Make yourself at home.
- I'm Arthur.
- Can I get you
something to drink?
- Absolutely.
- What would you like?
- Do you have any wine?
- Of course.
(ominous music plays)
- You do realize this is
not very safe, don't you?
- Optimism.
- Yes.
- Yes
- Yes.
- Cheers to that.
- Optimism.
- Optimism.
- I'm still a little worried.
- Do you want a hug?
- No for god's sake.
- I'm going to give you a hug.
- No, please don't.
- Okay.
All six feet apart then sir.
- Six. If that's okay.
- I can still give you a hug.
- Well, let's do the numbers.
I mean, the statistical
possibilities
of me actually
catching something.
Versus the statistical
possibilities of
me getting laid.
I think I might go for the
latter at the end of the day.
So, I will give you a hug.
- Cheers to that.
Aw, a little pat on
the back. I love that.
Oh I didn't know that.
Oh wow. You just told me
something I didn't know.
I might not know.
- Hello.
- Oh gosh. You were the one
with the wonderful mask.
- Todd Ackerman.
- Todd Ackerman.
- Todd fucking Ackerman.
- Now wait a minute.
That name rings a bell.
That name rings a bell.
Oh my god!
You're Todd Ackerman.
That's Todd Ackerman.
I do apologize, Todd.
It took a moment for me
to wrap my head around it.
- Oh no worries.
- Of course.
- No worries.
- You're wonderful.
- Thank you. Thank
you Thank you.
Thank you very much.
- Oh my gosh.
- This isn't really
very good. Is it?
- Look in the mirror.
Oh, you want kiss me?
I'm so pretty.
- [Harry] Let's experience.
Let's experience this
beautiful, beautiful tunnel.
This tunnel of despair,
this dark dark hole.
Black hole that we
have to go through.
- I've seen you looking
at me the whole night.
- Can you pass me that candle?
- [Harry] Come out and
floss and float so hard.
- This one?
- Yeah.
- So tell me how long have
you two known each other?
I'm just interested.
- Um, well.
- Are you fucking police?
- It's safe to say
we're new friends.
(woman laughing)
Or a vogue.
It's a vogue. You know
I used it while travel.
- My wife smokes vogues.
- Oh, oh, you have a wife.
- You have a wife.
- He has a wife.
You have a wife.
- Sh, how about a
kiss, a kiss again.
- Will you kiss me?
- MM-hm.
- In my world at the moment,
people wouldn't be doing that.
- Dancing? Feeling good?
- Hugging.
- Oh, because we're
gonna catch a virus.
- Yes.
- What if the virus is not real?
What if there is no virus.
- From where you are? You
just, everything is invincible.
There is no way
you can be touched.
You're in that
beautiful part of life,
which I wish I was
still in, but I'm not.
And I never will be again,
but there are people
around me who I love.
Who have gone or are going.
- Okay, you're afraid of death.
- Yes.
And I'd be a liar
to say that I'm not.
And so would you.
- Did you practice that speech?
- No.
- Good speech.
- In my mind, I prefaced it,
and on my web page I've
written it a couple of times.
- Did you get any comments?
- Yes lots of comments.
She doesn't like me.
- Come follow me.
(Harry howling)
- [Radio] Police force.
We are getting some
reinforcements in
from Ventura county.
The national guard-
- Cecil!
- [Radio] What will really help
is if more people
observe the curfew
and get off the streets.
And frankly, if the
people who are bent
on doing destruction here,
end up stopping.
(melancholy music playing)
There are legitimate
reasons for quarantines
and the grievances
and complaints
and just wrongs that
need to be addressed.
And what we're seeing here
is a tragic result of that.
(sirens wailing)
(vibrating sounds)
- I love this one.
Discover it.
No this room.
- Is that good? Some crazy shit.
This is crazy.
There's.
- Oh.
- How's that?
- Oh.
- Come with me.
- I got you. I got you.
- Oh.
- Ah, fuck me, Jesus.
- Hi Todd.
Hi.
- Hey babe.
- Hi.
- Where's your mask?
- Harry didn't want the mask.
- Harry didn't want a mask?
- No, it's not.
I mean, we were just like chill.
- You're doing yoga.
- I drank lot.
- I'm fine.
- It's okay. We're just friends.
- No, chill, chill.
- What's your name?
- Clara.
- Clara. Clara's your name?
- Yeah.
What's your name? It's
very nice to meet you.
- I actually, honey,
I was eating this.
- Can you find your mask?
And can you put it on?
You don't know her?
I don't know her.
- Babe nobody has a mask on.
- Nobody has a mask on here.
Why does nobody
have a mask on here?
Ask Harry you, you're the one
that introduced me to him.
- So is he the boss of you?
- You introduced me to him!
- I know I did,
but you know what?
There's absolutely no social
distancing going on over here.
- Obviously not.
And how did you even find me?
I was invited by Harry,
who you introduced me to.
- That has nothing
to do with it.
- Cool.
- I showed up. I always
know how to find you.
- I'm eating the sandwich.
I'm not fucking, I'm
not doing anything.
I'm just, she was giving-
- You're in a closet
with a woman with no bra.
- Hey, Hey. Just so you know,
if you just give me a second.
- I really have
nothing to say to you.
I really need to
speak to my husband.
- If you just give me a
second and I'll leave. Okay?
I just want to tell you,
that we are here trying
to be very nicely lovely,
connected to the higher purpose
that we're talking about.
And it's nothing, nothing,
nothing sexual at all.
- That's right, why you
were on this lap. Anyway.
- Have you ever heard
about gymnastics
and stretching your body?
- Yes.
- Babe.
- I do know all about that
because I do it every day.
- Not cool that
you don't trust me.
- I didn't need to see your text
because I have
been trusting you.
But for Christ's sake.
- Babe, I am fucked up and
I can't do this right now.
- What are you fucked up on?
- I don't know.
Ask fucking Harry.
- Can you just answer
your own questions?
Does everything have to
filter through Harry?
- We drank something, babe,
we're doing our fucking thing.
The thing you taught me.
- What is that fucking thing?
- And I drink this
thing and I'm fucked up.
I mean, stop.
Stop.
- Is that why I was-
- Stop!
- Because there's
a girl on your lap
and you wanted to
have the freedom
to have a girl on your lap.
(Todd shouting)
And that's why you
haven't been at home
for the last five fucking
nights because of-
(Todd screaming)
- Stop!
- Yes. Stop it because
we're not bad people.
We didn't want it.
- He's been sober for a year.
Can you tell me what
he's been taking?
- Can I tell you one thing?
- I don't need to
talk to you right now.
You have no mask on.
- But you have one on,
don't you think
you're hot stuff.
- And there's a fucking pandemic
going on for Christ's sake.
- Here's the deal.
I'm changing locations.
I'm going to smoke a cigarette.
You calm down woman.
Never ending shit. Yeah.
Tonight's a night that Harry
designed and I came for it.
So just if you want to ask Harry
about his hidden
plan for this evening
and why you weren't invited,
we've always been invited
to the events before.
Please do.
- You can't even ask him.
- Please ask him.
- This is embarrassing,
- But I can't talk about
it now. I love you though.
- There's absolutely
no social distancing.
- I'm sorry.
I just wanted to tell
you one thing, one thing.
This is my boyfriend Sydney and
we love each other very much
and we would never,
I would never.
And he knew that
we were doing yoga.
- I would love you to talk to
Harry who designed this event.
It's not-
- Do you have a drink.
- No, I do not.
- Why won't you have a drink?
You will help
relax a little bit.
- Get Harry to fucking give
you something to drink.
- You have no idea what the
hell you're doing right now.
- If you can relax, right now.
- If you're gonna be here,
you're taking the fucking drink.
- Maybe there's a chance-
- I'll have a Vodka Stoli
please with cranberries.
You can get it for me, honey.
You can get it for me.
- He wants, he wants,
he just wants freedom-
- I don't need you to tell
me about what he wants.
Can you, do you have a
mask that you could put on
and be responsible?
- May I intervene here.
How are you? How are you?
- You don't know how hard it's
been to keep him straight.
It's like-
- He's had a little whiskey.
- where's your wife
and your baby Harry?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're all my wives.
You're all my wives.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. I'm
gonna take you away.
Yeah.
We're on our way back home.
Oh.
Where's the- Where's the push.
- Harry I don't understand.
It's just like some
kind of double standard.
We were meditating to you
today in our house in Malibu.
And, and it was so
beautiful and there were,
no here, you're missing.
You're missing the,
please Harry put
the, put it down.
- Yeah. Stay. Drink.
(Harry giggling)
- Drink.
- It's like you're leading
a double life. You know?
Where's your wife? Your wife?
- It's okay. It's
okay. It's okay.
- Who are you?
- It's okay. I'm just playing.
- Hello?
Can I order some food please?
Oh yes. Let me get it.
Four portions of
Singapore noodles, some
special fried rice,
three portions lemon
soup, top top gai soup.
Three of those.
And what are your fish dishes.
Okay. You got two of those
and what specials do you have?
No.
Yeah, with tofu,
three of those and yeah
like a chicken noodle.
Yeah. Perfect.
Two of those.
And you could deliver it.
Perfect. Perfect.
They're wearing masks
I hope and gloves too.
- It's all right.
The night is coming.
I guarantee you that. The
night is fucking coming.
(upbeat dance music playing)
- Harry. I never thought
of you like this.
This is a revelation for me.
- I'm glad to hear that.
- Well, I it's a
numbers game, I suppose,
but I do have to try
and cancel something
that I'd set up
earlier in trouble.
(Harry laughing)
- Well, I'm not sure
how I feel about that.
- Well, I-
- Oh, I think it should
be more than the present.
(Harry humming)
- Oh I'm sure I could catch.
(Harry shouting and growling)
- I'm in now.
I was just in the process
of calling off a police raid
and I don't
- Fuck you. Fuck you.
- Well, fuck you, silly, man.
- What the fuck is going on?
- You grotesque,
horrible vermin.
- Dares, dares,
come hear a monster
and do this fucking shit.
(woman laughing)
(drumming)
(Harry humming and chanting)
- Hello? Hello Gretchen.
- Oh, hey.
Hey, how are you?
- It's Arthur?
- Yeah. How are you doing?
- I'm all right. Listen I'm so
sorry calling you this late.
Listen. I wonder
if you can help me.
Did you, did you actually call,
did you actually
call for the police?
- Yeah, I called the police,
but they're not coming.
I mean, there's,
there's a riot going on.
Are you okay? Like
where, where are you?
There's a curfew.
- [Voice On TV] Police
department Michael
Moore said what
happens tonight
really depends on
the citizens of Los
Angeles on what we can do
and what we will
allow to happen.
His officers, there
are 9,000 of them,
but that is not enough
to be everywhere.
They literally
can't be everywhere.
Half of them are
gonna work one shift.
Half of them are gonna
work the other 12.
- Oh, we going to be to closing.
- Are you gonna, are you
gonna keep the building?
- No, this is not belong to us.
- Oh.
- This is to rent. Yeah.
- Then once
everything comes back,
you're gonna have
the same setup.
- Yeah. We're gonna
have the same setup,
but it might be far away.
Because it's still
early, you know?
- They're coming back to soon.
- Yeah. I want make sure
that everyone's safe.
That's why, you know,
I tell all employee,
you can get the food from here
that you don't have to go out.
- [Speaker On TV] There
are legitimate reasons
at the core of this,
there are legitimate grievances.
- Yeah. This is the
temple in my hometown
or what my heart had
on the qu Camara.
And 12 year I send the
money on my part of tip
to the poor kid
in my high school.
And my mom's school
was 80 scholarship
for money under his name.
Nobody know who send
the money until now.
And now the restaurant
closed. I don't have money.
The kid, I feel so much.
You know.
- You sure we got the right
sauces at the right bag?
- Yeah, it did. The,
the, no, not that much.
This one might be.
- That's separate order.
- Yeah. It separate.
Yeah.
- See you next week.
- Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.
Send me the message. Yeah.
- [Speaker On TV] 5:30 in
the morning city Metro buses,
county buses were destroyed.
(sirens wailing)
(Caddy whispering)
(drumming)
- [Harry] Mother, Father,
write your own script.
You can write your own way.
You can be the victim.
Or you can be the hero.
You are your own path.
Hey!
What does it mean?
- It means, nothing.
(woman laughing)
(gong ringing)
(fast drumming)
(Harry shouting)
- [Speaker On Radio]
There will continue to be
a city wide curfew
in the city of Los Angeles
and also a number of other
cities, Pasadena, Santa Monica.
And similar cities that-
- Arthur?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Oh my God.
Thank you.
- Oh, you're welcome.
- Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you made it.
I worried you wouldn't be
able to make it through
with all the riots.
- Yeah.
- Now don't drive
too fast please.
- Okay. Are you okay though?
- Yes. I'm fine.
Yes, I'm fine.
- You smell like smoke.
Were they smoking?
- Oh, I was only in
there for a little while.
Yes they were. They
were smoking a lot.
- Who smokes these
days. That's so weird.
- They were and they weren't
just smoking tobacco.
- Like cigarettes?
Oh, not just tobacco?
- No not just tobacco. They
were all over each other.
- Really?
- Yes.
(drumming and music plays)
(Harry shouting)
(Everyone chanting)
(dog barking)
(Harry and everyone chanting)
(gong ringing)
(dog barking)
(bells chiming)
- I'm going to take you home.
- Mm. Thank you.
- Come on let's go.
- Take me home.
- Get in the car.
- Where are your shoes.
- Ah, fuck shoes.
- You're quiet.
- Yeah.
- Well, what are they
gonna do without you?
- Oh, they're gonna be
fine. They'll sleep.
Sleep and go into that
gentle good night.
- I don't know. But that
sounds permanent to me.
- It's not all permanence.
(Harry laughing)
- You're kidding?
- No I'm not.
I'm not kidding you.
(melancholy music plays)
- There's no afterlife.
- If there isn't,
soon we forget.
- There's no afterlife.
- Our consciousness
is dispersed.
- Shared.
- Shared.
- I got, I got a, I got a
son that's out here, man.
He's homeless. He's been
homeless for a couple years now.
He's a good kid.
He's straight a kid, he's
diagnosed with bipolarism
and he's 20.
He's outside.
Somewhere, and that kid,
every time I pass
a tent I just peek.
Breathe. And-
- You'll find him.
- Yeah., I'll find him.
It's all myself to make sure
that he feels secure time.
I did. I did before
we used to, you know,
its my first, my son,
I only have two kids.
That's Renee, looks
just like him.
Well, and I never,
they used to ask me what
did you have any sad days.
(Harry laughing)
Some days I'm shaving. I
said, I wonder, just be easy.
- Why you stopping here?

Seems our love is gone.
I'm on my own.
I'm part blind.
He said goodnight
Then he walked away.
And I know I'm
traveling blind.
No one is here.

I fly above my memories
No dead from death again
I'm on my own.

I fly above our memories
Now death fly
I'm on my own
