Enlightened s02e03 Episode Script

Higher Power

This feels so cool.
Getting to feel like this together.
It's been so long.
I wasn't expect What are you doing? You want a bump? Oh, fuck! - Oh my god! - Aw! I need to talk to you.
I'm not doing so good these days.
I just need some help.
I know who can help.
I called Open Air and they have a place for him.
I don't see how anyone can help him.
Shh! Ginger, quiet.
You be quiet now.
All right.
What are you doing? Are you trying to read my mail? Wha it's from Levi.
I see that.
Read it to me.
Right.
Because you're so supportive? Well, I mean, come on, Amy.
It's from Hawaii.
You're gonna want me to read it sooner or later.
I want to know.
Did you finally get him there, what? Yeah, Mom, he's there, OK? Well, read it to me, please.
It's personal, OK? Amy, well, I made it here barely.
They took away my phone, so I have to write this shit out.
Can't remember the last time I wrote a letter.
First couple days were brutal.
My heart rate was fucking skyrocketing, and the way everyone was talking so quiet and sympathetic made me really want to drink or kill myself.
I've calmed down, but I'm not feeling at all.
It's like I'm in a Hawaiian prison.
Honestly, I can't believe you fell for this shit.
The philosophy is just so cheesy.
I may be desperate, but I can't fall for just anything.
They want me to look at my dreams.
My dreams are chaos.
They want me to look at the past.
The past is a junkyard, everything dead, rusted, and broken.
They say to live in the moment.
So all's I ever do is eat.
Well what if the moment is endless and it's headaches and phlegm and farts and whiners whining about every fucking thing In that moment that ever happened to them.
I realized he was never gonna come back.
These people are just so pathetic.
And even though I had these kids, you know, these beautiful these kids I can't look them in the face when they talk about God It just wasn't enough.
and a higher power and the presence of grace.
You're OK.
We're animals, Amy, and some animals like to party.
For me, God is a beer on the beach.
Maybe that's fucked up, but at least it's honest.
It's not wishful thinking.
I went snorkeling yesterday.
I wanted to find the turtle you told me about.
There was no turtle, just a bunch of garbage at the bottom of the ocean.
One of the locals told me the bay here has been polluted by all the boats.
I got to hit it.
All the turtles have gone or died.
Anyway, your turtle, if it ever existed, is gone.
At least I can't find it.
It's all I got.
I guess we'll see.
Counting the days, Levi.
What'd he say? Oh, stuff, you know? I don't know.
Is he getting better? Yeah.
You know, it's a long road, right? Is that all? What else? Nothing else.
He's there, and he's getting help, right? That's all that matters.
Amy all the treatment centers in the whole world, they can't help somebody unless that somebody really wants to get help.
You got to let him go.
Mom! Oh, man.
Ohh! Heh heh.
Wow.
Ha ha ha.
I, uh, just finally wow! Oh, I feel a lot better now.
No wonder my back ached, you know what I mean? That was, like, a week's worth there.
Thank God, thank God, you know? It's really all I've been able to think about the past 3 days.
Yeah? Well, it's all I can think about for the last 3 days because you won't shut up about it, man.
Am I gonna have to hear about every shit you take for the next couple weeks, huh? Because if I am, I'm gonna out there and fucking drown myself, OK? It's disgusting, man.
Makes me want to fucking puke.
Have some fucking dignity, man! I'm sorry, man.
I'm sorry.
Fucking Fucking air.
Fucking not gonna have this shit.
I knew it was me just alone, that I had to take care of myself.
I mean, she resented me.
Maybe she hated me.
Is there something you want to say, Travis? Ohh.
No, no.
Levi? Ahem.
You have something to say? No.
I didn't say anything.
But you want to say something.
No.
It's important we all share here.
Yeah? Why's that? Because when you share, you not only heal yourself, but you help others.
Do you feel judged? No.
I don't feel judged.
I just don't feel like telling you about it.
And to be honest, I think that you're full of shit.
Ooh.
Ha ha! OK.
Mm-hmm.
Good.
Good, Levi.
No.
You know what? Good for you.
That bitch needs to be called out.
I fucking hate her.
You know, she called me into her office yesterday to tell me that I was sexualizing the group.
Yeah.
Like, the outfits that I wear are too provocative or something.
You give dudes boners, Dani.
Heh.
Whatever.
Face it.
Look at those.
What, am I supposed to wear a fucking nun's habit in Hawaii? No.
Fuck her.
Come on.
Should we tell him? Come on.
Hey, Levi.
Tonight after dinner, we're gonna meet here, and then we're gonna go down to whatever that hotel is down the beach, do a little partying.
Um, and guess what.
I keistered in party favors for everybody.
Yeah.
For everybody.
You guys are crazy.
You want to come with? It's tempting, but nah.
Eh, but nothing.
Ha ha! Come on.
You know you want to come with us.
You know, I'm trying to behave.
Dude, let go, let God.
No.
I appreciate the invite.
I'm just I'm gonna pass.
Why are you even here, Levi? I-I don't know.
I mean, me, I'm just trying to get my head straight, I'm trying to make a few changes.
I'd like to start eating healthy, I'd like to start exercising, and I would like to take a break from the drinking.
Why do you think you use? Because my mom died, my dad's a dick, the things I thought I should get, I didn't get them, and I'm pissed.
Why not talk about that in group? Because I can't stand Patricia's face, man.
I hate her fucking face! And even if I did tell her, she probably wouldn't get it, you know, and I hate the jargon.
I'm sick of my room.
Tony is a fucking pig, man, and I really need a new iPod.
I busted my iPod, and I am having a hard time, Jonah.
Sounds like you have a lot of frustrations.
Heh.
You think? Levi, this takes time.
Man, just These feelings that you're having, they're valid, but you need to express them here and in group.
I want a new roommate.
Have you talked to Tony? Have you told him what's bothering you? Tell Tony that he's fucking disgusting and that his fucking farts smell like sulfur and that I'm drowning in his fucking farts? He's fucking gross, man.
Just walk over there, Jonah.
Take a look at the goddamn room.
Everyone here is going through the same stuff.
We all need the same things.
Look, doctor and you're probably not even a real doctor, am I right? I never said I was.
Whatever.
May I get a new iPod? No, you can't.
Why not? Because you're not supposed to have electronics, Levi.
It should have been confiscated.
That is fucking absurd! I'm a grown-ass fucking man.
I want a new iPod.
Levi, what's important here is that you focus on your sobriety, your healing.
That's why you're here, Levi Jesus Christ.
not to tune out.
Goddamn it.
I know we're in Hawaii, but it feels like I'm in fucking prison.
TRAVIS; Well, what do you mean? I don't know.
It's like I got jungle fever or something.
You mean, island fever? Same thing.
Ho ho ho! It's not the same thing.
Whatever.
I, uh, need to clear my head.
I'm gonna walk the beach, OK? I don't think we're supposed to leave center after dinner.
Oh, yeah.
I know, Tony.
I'm breaking a rule, OK? I just need to clear my head, and if anybody asks, just tell them that I went for a walk on the beach, OK? You know, tell them whatever you want, man, OK? I don't give a shit.
All right.
Yo.
You guys ready? Yeah, man.
You ready? Yeah.
Come on.
Whoa! This way.
God.
Ha ha.

Naw aw Open sesame.

Where's the, uh, bathroom? This way.
This way? Oh, hey, man.
Find it? Great.
Let's go.
Come on.
Ha ha ha! Come with me.
Oh! Give it to me.
You got it? Open it.
You'd be surprised how much drugs you can find in rehab.
Let me get in there, buddy.
Come on! Show us how the professionals do it, Levi.
Ahh.
Dude, this was so easy.
Why didn't we just do this on day one? Hold on, Dani.
I got a much higher tolerance than you kids.
I'm almost 41.
At least that.
I'm gonna have to go take a piss.
- All right.
- Easy, darling.
You are the most paranoid woman that's fucking alive.
Don't get antsy around me.
I don't like it.
Me? You motherfucking can't stand at all.

It's making my nose drip.
So what.
Come on! Fucking life! Ha ha! Whoo! Sorry.
I got Ha ha ha! Lock it.
Lock it.
Good.
You know what what really bugs me about a lot of the people in there? What? Is that you get the impression that they never even really partied that hard.
Every time they ask me to envision, like, my inner spirit or a fucking forest with a unicorn riding through it or some shit like that, the only thing that I can ever think of is the view from the penthouse at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas.
That's great.
Yeah.
It's where I used to party with my ex.
Oh, yeah? Punk.
Forget about him.
Forget about ha ha! Hey! What? You know what we ought to do tomorrow morning? What should we do tomorrow morning? More coke? Go to Pearl Harbor.

getting fat on the shitty food I haven't weighed myself, but I feel like lost a few.
You had to have lost a few.
You see Today we had another guided meditation.
Content.
They told us to remember a time when we were our best self.
Illuminated from within.
Never been my best self.
Who is that person? The closest to it I could think of was the person you thought I was in the beginning.
I hope one day I remember you'd talk about me like I was this great, beautiful person, and I thought, "Who the fuck is she talking about?" I think you don't need to worry about You saw something in me that didn't exist, or maybe it did.
Maybe you're my higher power.
I don't believe in much, but I believe in you.
I keep going out every day looking for your turtle.
I really want to find it, but even if I don't, I know you did, and for me, that's good enough.
Love Levi.
