1. Family meeting
has begun. No more talking,
no more fun.
Copy !req
2. Okay, first order of business.
Copy !req
3. Does anyone watch Showtime,
Starz or the Sundance Channel?
Copy !req
4. Deezy thinks we're paying
too much for cable.
Copy !req
5. Well,
I watch those, Mike.
Copy !req
6. I was thinking more like
your Nat Geos, your Lifetime,
Copy !req
7. your CNNs, your CNBCs...
Copy !req
8. Then what would I watch?
Copy !req
9. No, this motion is tabled until
the next family meeting.
Copy !req
10. Okay, next agenda item.
Copy !req
11. Should we get a dog?
Copy !req
12. Let's get some pros
and cons on the board.
Copy !req
13. I'll start.
Copy !req
14. Good to eat.
Copy !req
15. What?
Copy !req
16. Deezy says we're spending
too much money on groceries.
Copy !req
17. We could get a big dog,
chop him up
Copy !req
18. and whatever we don't eat,
we freeze him for the winter.
Copy !req
19. Dad, you can't eat a dog.
Copy !req
20. Well then, that's a "con."
Copy !req
21. Well, I for one, think
we should get a dog.
Copy !req
22. They're cute and cuddly
and it could protect
the house when we're gone.
Copy !req
23. Okay, wait. Well,
now I hate to be
the bearer of bad news
Copy !req
24. but I am deathly allergic
to dogs.
Copy !req
25. Well, I say, if Marquess
is deathly allergic to dogs,
Copy !req
26. we run, not walk, to get a dog!
Copy !req
27. Family meeting adjourned.
Copy !req
28. Okay, uh,
he can't do that.
Copy !req
29. This is why we have to shut
the sliding glass door, Pigeon.
Copy !req
30. Dad, you killed it.
Copy !req
31. But now we have food
for the winter.
Copy !req
32. Oh, the poor thing was carrying
a mystery message. Uh...
Copy !req
33. "Dear Mike Tyson
Mystery Team,
Copy !req
34. I'm afraid
my 17-year-old son Landon
Copy !req
35. is addicted to pain pills.
Copy !req
36. I wanted to have
an intervention
but as a single dad
Copy !req
37. I could use your help.
Copy !req
38. Kenneth Boone,
Santa Barbara, California."
Copy !req
39. Oh.
Copy !req
40. I adore Santa Barbara.
Copy !req
41. I would move there
in a New York minute.
Copy !req
42. Oh, who am I kidding?
I would move to New York
Copy !req
43. in a Santa Barbara minute.
Copy !req
44. Anywhere but
this shithole.
Copy !req
45. Deezy says we have
to live in Las Vegas
Copy !req
46. for tax purposes.
Copy !req
47. Yeah, I think that's right.
I should check up
on that though.
Copy !req
48. I might have been thinking of
the Cayman Islands.
Copy !req
49. Oh, well, maybe that'd be
a fun place to move to.
Copy !req
50. Thank you
so much for coming.
Copy !req
51. Sorry, I just need
to get Sophie fed.
Copy !req
52. She's six, kind of
a picky eater.
Copy !req
53. My wife used to do
all the cooking.
I can barely boil water.
Copy !req
54. It's very easy.
Copy !req
55. Um... How long since
your wife passed?
Copy !req
56. "Passed"?
I mean come on,
Copy !req
57. passed, what is that?
Just say "died."
Copy !req
58. His wife died.
Is "died" a bad word?
Copy !req
59. You know? You know
what a bad word is?
Copy !req
60. is a bad word.
sucker" is a bad word.
Copy !req
61. But you can say "died."
Say "died".
Copy !req
62. - Okay, fine. Died.
- Okay, now say
sucker."
Copy !req
63. - My God, Pigeon.
- Maggie left us
four months ago.
Copy !req
64. "Left us"? That's worse
than "passed."
Copy !req
65. You know what I'm gonna do?
Copy !req
66. I'm gonna "leave us" right now
Copy !req
67. and go "pass" a giant turd
Copy !req
68. in this sucker's
bathroom.
Copy !req
69. Okay, ew.
Copy !req
70. Sophie. Lunch is ready.
Copy !req
71. Maggie was sick
for a long time.
Copy !req
72. She was in horrible pain
so we had every kind of
pain pill
Copy !req
73. they'll prescribe in the house.
Copy !req
74. I should have gotten rid
of them sooner
Copy !req
75. but the thought of cleaning out
her medicine cabinet
Copy !req
76. seemed overwhelming.
Copy !req
77. I finally got the courage
a few days ago
Copy !req
78. and they were all gone.
Copy !req
79. Every pill, every bottle.
Copy !req
80. Now, what makes you so sure
your son took them?
Copy !req
81. He just hasn't been himself.
He's suddenly so secretive.
Copy !req
82. And no one else has been
in our house since
Maggie departed.
Copy !req
83. "Departed"? Really?
Copy !req
84. Honey, why aren't you eating?
Copy !req
85. There's nothing to eat.
Copy !req
86. Oh, was
the mac and cheese for her?
Copy !req
87. I'm sorry, little girl,
let me make you some.
Copy !req
88. Dad, wha-what's going on?
Copy !req
89. Landon... You know how much
I love you, right?
Copy !req
90. What are you talking about?
Who are these people?
Copy !req
91. Seriously? You don't know
who that is?
Copy !req
92. The one with the face tattoo?
Copy !req
93. I'll give you three guesses.
Bill Cosby, Mike Tyson
or Jaws the shark.
Copy !req
94. You have one minute
and your time starts now.
Copy !req
95. Landon, this is
an intervention.
Copy !req
96. For what?
Copy !req
97. I know you've been
taking Mom's pain pills.
Copy !req
98. What? No, I haven't.
Copy !req
99. Landon, you need help.
Copy !req
100. You're addicted to opioids.
Copy !req
101. Dad, I swear I'm not!
Copy !req
102. My son,
my beautiful son,
Copy !req
103. I know you're hurting.
We all miss her so much.
Copy !req
104. And it makes sense
to want to numb the pain.
Copy !req
105. Dad, I'm not taking pain pills!
Copy !req
106. Oh, come on, Landon.
You isolate.
Copy !req
107. You're always in your room
with the door locked.
Copy !req
108. Dad, please believe me.
I-I swear on Mom's grave.
Copy !req
109. I've never taken an opioid.
I-I just miss Mom.
Copy !req
110. I believe you.
Copy !req
111. Lies!
Copy !req
112. This is all lies.
An addict can't be trusted.
Copy !req
113. An addict cares about
one thing and one thing only.
Copy !req
114. Their next fix.
And they don't care
Copy !req
115. whose lives they have
to destroy to get it.
Copy !req
116. - Marquess.
- I-I'm sorry, I am sorry, Yung,
Copy !req
117. I am sorry. I just know
what it is like to lose someone
Copy !req
118. I love to addiction.
Copy !req
119. It was 1869...
Summer.
Copy !req
120. The summer of '69
we called it...
Copy !req
121. Sir Rodney Pumpbutters
and I ran off to the Orient,
Copy !req
122. two young vibrant men,
no older than Landon here,
Copy !req
123. seeking adventure
and new experiences.
Copy !req
124. Oh, we bought spices and silks
in Shenzhen
Copy !req
125. and took a slow boat
Copy !req
126. down the Yangtze River
to Nanjing.
Copy !req
127. It was there
we were first introduced
Copy !req
128. to the power of the poppy.
Copy !req
129. It was an ecstasy
unlike any I had ever felt.
Copy !req
130. We spent weeks
in our little opium den,
Copy !req
131. drifting in and out of
consciousness.
Copy !req
132. Oh, dancing. Writing poetry.
Copy !req
133. Making love. But when summer
turned to fall to winter,
Copy !req
134. I knew it was time
to come home.
Copy !req
135. I went to arrange
passage back to England
Copy !req
136. and discovered that Rodney
had stolen my funds.
Copy !req
137. Oh, every last bank note
he used up chasing the dragon.
Copy !req
138. He lied to me of course,
Copy !req
139. he swore on
his mother's grave, too.
Copy !req
140. I never saw him again.
Copy !req
141. He reportedly died
Copy !req
142. when high as a kite
and holding a candelabra,
Copy !req
143. wandered into
a Chinese fireworks factory.
Copy !req
144. Now, Kenneth,
get your car keys.
Copy !req
145. You're taking
your son to rehab.
Copy !req
146. No! I'm not an addict!
Copy !req
147. He'll say anything
in this state,
Copy !req
148. anything he thinks
we want to hear.
Copy !req
149. Michael. Grab the boy.
Get him in the car.
Copy !req
150. Oh, good.
I was having trouble
boiling that water.
Copy !req
151. It-it's harder than it looks.
Copy !req
152. Hey. Stop. No—
Copy !req
153. Don't worry,
we'll watch Sophie.
Copy !req
154. Okay, thanks.
Copy !req
155. Your brother's gonna be okay.
Copy !req
156. Not likely. No, they have
a very poor rate of success
Copy !req
157. at these facilities.
Copy !req
158. Um, what happens
is they'll keep him
Copy !req
159. until the insurance
runs out
Copy !req
160. then they'll say he's cured
Copy !req
161. and then he'll suspiciously
overdose
Copy !req
162. and we'll be done
with the matter.
Copy !req
163. Mystery solved.
Copy !req
164. - Pigeon.
Huh?
Copy !req
165. Oh, no, no, no, no,
don't have candy,
Copy !req
166. I'll make you something
good to eat.
Copy !req
167. It's not for me.
Copy !req
168. A.F.O.S., I brought you
some candy.
Copy !req
169. No! No one's supposed
to know about him,
Copy !req
170. not even Daddy.
Copy !req
171. is that?
Copy !req
172. We call him A.F.O.S.
Copy !req
173. He's an alien from outer space.
Copy !req
174. His spaceship crash-landed
and Landon found him
Copy !req
175. on his walk home from school.
Copy !req
176. Landon says no one
can know about him
Copy !req
177. or they'll do bad experiments
on him.
Copy !req
178. Did you take
your medicine, A.F.O.S.?
Copy !req
179. Are those your mom's
pain pills?
Copy !req
180. He hurt his leg in the crash.
Copy !req
181. So Landon gave him
Mom's medicine for the pain.
Copy !req
182. A.F.O.S. take medicine.
Copy !req
183. A.F.O.S. like pills.
Copy !req
184. Want more pills.
Copy !req
185. Oh, dear God.
Copy !req
186. That boy
was telling the truth.
Copy !req
187. Opioid addiction can be
a lifelong battle.
Copy !req
188. I'm gonna recommend
a 90-day program.
Copy !req
189. Oh. He's supposed to start
his freshman year
Copy !req
190. at Stanford in two weeks.
Copy !req
191. Well, there is a new treatment
that in some patients
Copy !req
192. can work practically overnight.
Copy !req
193. An electromagnet is placed at
the base of the brain
Copy !req
194. and one large pulse
is delivered.
Copy !req
195. It's very effective,
but it's...
Copy !req
196. It is extremely expensive.
Copy !req
197. I don't care what it costs.
Are there any risks?
Copy !req
198. Not to Landon.
Copy !req
199. No. Now, if someone like you
Copy !req
200. or I were to have it done,
Copy !req
201. someone who's not addicted
to opioids, uh...
Copy !req
202. It would be catastrophic.
Copy !req
203. Well, lucky for us that Landon
is addicted to opioids.
Copy !req
204. Let's do it.
Copy !req
205. Wonderful.
Copy !req
206. I'll warm up the machine.
Copy !req
207. Oh. . Wait here.
Copy !req
208. Where's Landon?
Copy !req
209. Getting cured.
Copy !req
210. Oh!
Copy !req
211. Landon... How did it go?
Copy !req
212. Um...
Copy !req
213. Now, are we sure
he was addicted to opioids?
Copy !req
214. We're 100% sure, right,
Marquess?
Copy !req
215. The doctor is asking
because we have given him
Copy !req
216. an experimental procedure
that would be catastrophic
Copy !req
217. if he wasn't.
Copy !req
218. Mmm-hmm. Yeah. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
219. Yeah, yeah. He was an addict,
Copy !req
220. and um, now he's, uh,
had, uh... treatment...
Copy !req
221. And, um, yeah.
Now we should all go back
Copy !req
222. to beautiful Nevada
and let this family, um...
Copy !req
223. You know, let this family heal.
Copy !req
224. What do you want?
Copy !req
225. Can we come in?
Copy !req
226. No.
Copy !req
227. Well, uh, do you want
to sign this card?
Copy !req
228. What card?
Copy !req
229. It's a farewell card
for A.F.O.S.
Copy !req
230. He's finally off opioids
and ready to go back
Copy !req
231. to his home planet.
Copy !req
232. No.
Copy !req
233. What are you doing
in there? I—
Copy !req
234. Eh, uh, I'll sign it for him.
Copy !req
235. A.F.O.S., we have something
for you.
Copy !req
236. Eh.
Ah.
Copy !req
237. Where is he?
Copy !req
238. Dad, have, uh,
have you seen A.F.O.S.?
Copy !req
239. That little turtle
that we brought home
Copy !req
240. from Santa Barbara?
Copy !req
241. Well, he's not a turtle.
He's an alien.
Copy !req
242. Alien from outer space.
A.F.O.S.
Copy !req
243. Oh, damn.
I thought it stood for
Copy !req
244. another option
besides steak.
Copy !req
245. That's why I called him
A.F.O.B.S.
Copy !req
246. Anyway he's right here.
Copy !req
247. I know it looks like
a lot of food but whatever
Copy !req
248. we don't eat we can chop it up,
Copy !req
249. freeze it and save it
for the winter.
Copy !req
250. Damn, Mike,
with savings like this,
Copy !req
251. I think we can see about
getting Showtime
hooked back up.
Copy !req
