The Curse 1x6

1. Wait for it.

2. Bowling soon, right?

3. Yeah. Yeah. For sure, yeah.

4. I-I notice you're touching your neck a lot.

5. Do you have pain?

6. Yeah, it's just the muscle and the bone.

7. Oh, that's joint pain.

8. Um, is it possible to prepay

9. for an appointment for someone else?

10. They can be curious

11. about the house but not critical.

12. You got that timing.

13. No jokes, no negativity.

14. Just good conversation about the house.

15. Cool?

16. This just feels like a community

17. I'd be excited to be a part of.

18. I'm really starting to wish that you guys

19. were actually buying the house.

20. I called Mark Rose's broker.

21. And he is still interested, and he's willing to stay

22. at his original offer.

23. - Outlaw? - Uh, yup.

24. - Hmm. - That's me.

25. I cannot believe you reached out to him.

26. Are you sure everything's okay?

27. If I was upset, you would know it.

28. Okay.

29. Congratulations and welcome to the community.

30. - Thank you. - Thank you.

31. Uh, this keychain was custom-made

32. by Diné artist Reggie Mitchell.

33. And the Diné tribe believes that turquoise

34. means life and coral teaches us

35. - about nurturing and acceptance. - Oh, wow.

36. And that's a snake there. What does that mean?

37. Uh, the snake signifies rebirth,

38. because of the shedding of the skin.

39. Makes sense. This is a sort of rebirth.

40. New house. New community.

41. - New family. - Hmm.

42. - It's been a really big day. - Yeah.

43. We couldn't be more excited

44. to have Janice and Pascal

45. move into this community.

46. And we also have some pottery for you.

47. - Ahh. - This was handcrafted

48. by Luann Tafoya of the Pojoaque Pueblo.

49. Um, and what is so special about this piece

50. is to the untrained eye

51. it could look like nothing more than a functional object.

52. "Oh, it's a—it's a bowl."

53. But that's just the beauty of it.

54. It doesn't have to just sit on the shelf, being looked at.

55. It can be used. Nothing goes to waste.

56. And so much native art has a social function around it.

57. I believe that there shouldn't be

58. a separation between art and the objects

59. we interact with in our everyday life.

60. And so, what you're inheriting is a piece of art

61. that you can live in.

62. - So lovely. - All right.

63. When you sell a home, you have no idea

64. who's gonna walk in that door.

65. And we have been so fortunate

66. to have buyers that are eager

67. to integrate themselves in the local community.

68. Hi. I'm Janice. Good to meet you.

69. Your arms getting sore?

70. - Yeah. - Right?

71. It's a workout.

72. It's great to be here with the community helping out.

73. We've never helped remove graffiti before,

74. and it's really cool.

75. - Can you jump and do it? - Oh, so close.

76. It looks so beautiful, you know...

77. Doesn't it?

78. just covering all that up.

79. I was surprised the paint dried so fast.

80. - Oh, wow! - Wow!

81. - Yeah. - Look at that.

82. I know. We're right there.

83. I guess when you use a roller,

84. the paint dries a lot faster

85. than when you use a brush.

86. - Plus it's a sunny day... - Mm-hmm.

87. which helps too.

88. And the the eco-friendly paint

89. is a really important part of what...

90. - Yes, it really is. - ... we're doing to help

91. the community as well.

92. When I found out that the paint we're using today

93. was collected from millions of gallons of unwanted paint

94. through statewide recycling programs,

95. I was so excited.

96. It's just amazing for the environment,

97. amazing for the community,

98. amazing for us as human beings.

99. It's just better all around for all of us.

100. I was curious as to how long it would take

101. before we needed to do a second coat.

102. I know nothing about paint, so I was asking one

103. of the other volunteers, and Janice and I

104. really hit it off with them.

105. Turns out we both have online businesses,

106. which I thought was really neat.

107. They invited us over to their house for a meal.

108. They're actually only seven-minute walk from us.

109. We're really excited to go.

110. Thank you guys so much for having us over.

111. - This is lovely. - Mm-hmm.

112. Yeah. It's just crazy.

113. We, we saw you guys out there and,

114. um, my wife said, "Let's invite them over to eat."

115. - You know? - Mm-hmm.

116. - Serendipity. - Yeah.

117. And the other world works—

118. It was perfect, right?

119. Yeah.

120. Hmm.

121. Yeah, it gets pretty hot. Yeah.

122. It's pretty hot out here.

123. Yeah. It's supposed to be hot today.

124. - Yeah. - Yeah.

125. And you can feel it in my back,

126. I'm starting to get a little bit burnt.

127. Oh, yeah.

128. - Toasting up? - Yeah. Yeah.

129. But it—it's gonna be hot for a few days

130. and then I think it'll cool down a bit.

131. Um, that's... that's pretty much it.

132. That's pretty much everything you wanted in there.

133. Something feels off.

134. It's, like...

135. I mean, it's edited well.

136. But it's...

137. One idea I had that I mentioned to—

138. Shh.

139. What are you feeling?

140. It just feels lifeless or, or something.

141. Uh, I mean, is, is this really the best version

142. of what we shot?

143. Hello?

144. I just feel really uncomfortable putting my opinion in there

145. 'cause I really just want this to be your vision.

146. - Oh, my God, Dougie stop. - Right?

147. - What? It's— - To ask.

148. Obviously, I need your help.

149. Doesn't always feel that way.

150. Oh, my God. Is this—is this fun for you?

151. No. No.

152. Look, if you want my opinion, you got to say

153. my name three times, like Beetlejuice.

154. No, I will not. No.

155. All right. Let's, uh, let's export this

156. and send it to the network.

157. Oh, my God, Dougie. Dougie. Dougie.

158. All right.

159. Dougie's opinion. Let's go.

160. Um, let's pull up the, uh, the key scene.

161. Look, what we have here is a frictionless show.

162. There's no conflict, there's no drama.

163. And that's not something people wanna watch.

164. And I get that you're trying to

165. kind of put this town out there, put it on the map,

166. and you can't talk about any of the racial tensions

167. or the crime, stuff like that.

168. So, what's left?

169. You and Asher.

170. - Hmm. - Hit play.

171. Uh, this was handcrafted

172. by Luann Tafoya of the Pojoaque Pueblo.

173. Um, and what is so special—

174. What was that? Pause it.

175. What was that? What was that?

176. You, you looked down and then you rolled your eyes at him.

177. Why?

178. Wait. He, he had his fucking cell phone in his hand

179. against the pottery while we were giving it to them.

180. And it's, like, you can't even put that thing down

181. while we're giving a gift?

182. Sorry, it's—it was...

183. - All right. - Whatever.

184. Hold on one second.

185. I want you to say that again,

186. exactly as you just said it.

187. - What? - Just like this.

188. - Why? - Go for it.

189. Just do it, please.

190. Go.

191. He had his cell phone in his hand

192. while he was giving them the pottery.

193. And...

194. I just feel like, you can't put that thing down

195. while you're giving someone a gift?

196. - Amazing. - Uh—

197. Here. Upload that and put it in the cut.

198. And we also have some pottery for you.

199. This was handcrafted by Luann Tafoya

200. of the Pojoaque Pueblo.

201. He had his cellphone in his hand

202. while he was giving them the pottery.

203. And...

204. I just feel like, you can't put that thing down

205. while you're giving someone a gift?

206. Hmm. See?

207. What was—a scene that was lifeless and boring

208. now has a little bit of flavor.

209. And there's—and there's thousands of moments

210. like this between the two of you, really.

211. Look, I know that you have a vision

212. that you wanna spread around the world, right?

213. But in order for that to happen,

214. you need people to watch the show.

215. 'Cause if they don't watch it, then they're not gonna see

216. all the good stuff that you're doing.

217. Selling a bullshit version of yourself

218. isn't gonna go anywhere.

219. You know you're doing it.

220. I know you're doing it.

221. When you have a show this defensive,

222. that becomes a part of the story.

223. You think you're hiding it,

224. but that becomes the story that people

225. are watching, a woman with something to hide.

226. And I don't know where that's coming from.

227. I really have no fucking clue, Whit.

228. I don't know if it has anything to do with your parents

229. and what they do, or if it's just—

230. Whoa, what do you mean?

231. It—It's something that Asher mentioned

232. you might be sensitive about.

233. - That's all. - Uh—oh! Ah!

234. And look, look, look. I'm sorry.

235. I might be making connections where they don't,

236. - where they don't make sense. - Yeah.

237. But I don't give a shit, really.

238. I just wanna make a great show.

239. I wanna make a great show that people are gonna watch.

240. And, if we— if we include these moments,

241. you talking about these moments of frustration

242. between you and Asher,

243. then people are gonna connect with you,

244. and they're gonna think you're being honest.

245. And if they believe that you're telling them the truth,

246. then they have no reason to think

247. that you're hiding anything.

248. And we can just forget about everything else.

249. That's good for you.

250. It's good for your vision.

251. And it's good for Mother Earth, right?

252. But, but I mean, then Asher would be talking

253. about me too, right?

254. I don't know, maybe.

255. But, um, I really do believe people

256. wanna see this relationship through your eyes.

257. You know, you saw the focus group.

258. They're like, "Why is she with that guy?"

259. They don't wanna hear from him.

260. They wanna hear from you.

261. And I think all we have to do

262. is just encourage him to be himself.

263. And that's it.

264. We don't tell him anything else.

265. Hmm.

266. It was interesting seeing you and Cara together.

267. It seemed like you guys get along pretty well.

268. Yeah.

269. Um, she's funny, and we text a little,

270. but, um, she's a little ugly for me.

271. Oh, my God.

272. That's crazy. She's gorgeous.

273. - Well, she smokes. - Crazy—

274. She smokes, so...

275. - Okay. - Yeah.

276. I'm not gonna waste my time getting close

277. with somebody who's gonna...

278. What?

279. Nothing.

280. What do you think about changing the name of the show?

281. Because Fliplanthropy has never felt right to me.

282. It's like flipping is so low-rent.

283. Every—we don't even flip.

284. It's like full teardowns.

285. It doesn't even make sense.

286. Hmm. We can talk about that, for sure, you know?

287. - Um, it's probably... - Mm-hmm.

288. larger HGTV conversation,

289. and maybe a tough sell for them,

290. but we'll try.

291. You know, they love Flip.

292. - You know? - I was thinking, uh...

293. Green Queen.

294. Wow.

295. That is incredible.

296. - Wait, are you serious? - Like, 100% serious.

297. That is just—oh, my God.

298. - You mean it? - Get me a TV.

299. I wanna watch that show right now.

300. - Geez! - Okay.

301. Wow!

302. Well, if, if, if you're the queen,

303. what does that make Asher?

304. The King?

305. No.

306. The village idiot.

307. Bill!

308. Bill!

309. Excuse me, excuse me.

310. I'm looking for the Goof Off.

311. What?

312. Goof Off.

313. - I don't understand. - Oh, Goo Gone.

314. - Goo Gone? Goo— - Goo Gone.

315. Um, try aisle nine. It's—

316. Thank you, my friend.

317. You're a fast one. I was chasing you down.

318. Bill.

319. You didn't hear me back there?

320. - I was calling your name. - Hey, buddy.

321. - How you doing? - Hey. Good.

322. I thought you had headphones in or something.

323. No, no, I didn't have any headphones in.

324. Good. How you been?

325. Good. Good.

326. Good.

327. Yeah. Just have to... get some roofing stuff.

328. Yeah. You have a nice day.

329. Yeah. Yeah. You too.

330. These are two-for-one.

331. Did you know you can put out fires with the sun?

332. - No way! - Way!

333. Well, sort of.

334. We're here today with the brave men and women

335. of the Española Fire Department

336. to show them how a few tiny changes to their station

337. can make passive energy

338. the newest recruit on their squad.

339. - Good? - One more.

340. Did you know you can put out fires with the sun?

341. - No way! - Way!

342. Okay. I can—I can talk about

343. the heat recovery system over there,

344. but I think we should wait

345. to talk about the work that we did on the roof

346. until we're outside by the tank.

347. Okay, that makes sense.

348. Um, just when you're talking to them...

349. - Yeah. - ... just be really smiley.

350. - You know? - Okay.

351. I'm gonna have— I'm gonna have a camera right on Asher,

352. - so it'll be good. - Okay.

353. Um...

354. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can do that.

355. - It's gonna be good. - It's gonna be good.

356. Yeah.

357. It was so weird.

358. I was calling his name, and he was actively ignoring me.

359. Uh, when's the last time you talked to him?

360. Like, three days ago.

361. We were just texting about going bowling.

362. It doesn't make any sense.

363. We don't know what people are going through in their lives.

364. Cara still has not signed the release form

365. for her artwork being on the show.

366. I've emailed her three times.

367. Well, I mean, she's busy.

368. - Busy person, I guess. - Oh.

369. Perfect. Yeah.

370. All right, we're set.

371. Roll it.

372. Good?

373. Yeah.

374. So, I bet you guys know

375. a thing or two about heat.

376. Yeah, you could say that.

377. Well, I know you spend most days

378. trying to get rid of heat,

379. but right now I wanna talk to you about saving the heat

380. that's already inside this building.

381. And, uh, it seems like there's a lot of heat in here.

382. Whoa! Ah!

383. Why thank you, babe.

384. I mean, we definitely are interested

385. in having our station be more energy efficient.

386. That's so great. Well, if you look

387. directly above you,

388. this new ductwork is the Heat Recovery Ventilator.

389. - What's going on, man? - Hey, what's up?

390. - You good? Yeah? - Yeah, I'm good, man. Yeah.

391. So, she was kind of giving you the eye back there, huh?

392. You ever think about giving it back a little bit, or...

393. I mean...

394. What do you mean?

395. I don't know. Like, next time, just, like, um—

396. I don't know, say to her,

397. "Hey, why don't I bring you out back

398. and teach you how to use the hose,"

399. or something like that, you know?

400. I mean, it's on TV,

401. and my, my wife wouldn't be into that.

402. Well, you never know. You got to try it, right?

403. She might like it.

404. I'll think about it, okay?

405. All right. I mean, do more than think about it, all right?

406. Uh, all right.

407. No wedding ring, huh?

408. You're not lying to me, are you?

409. No, man, no. Uh, on the job, I don't wear it.

410. - It could take your finger off. - Well, it's good to know.

411. Yeah, safety— safety first.

412. Is there a bathroom I could use?

413. - Down the hall to the right. - Okay. Thanks.

414. - All right. - Got it. Coffee.

415. Um, all right. So, this time,

416. I think you should just kind of touch him.

417. You know, if he says something, laugh

418. and graze his shoulder, you know?

419. Will this seem cheesy?

420. It'll be fun, little funny.

421. Oh, Patrick. Excuse me.

422. Could you grab me a water, please?

423. - Water, yeah, yeah. - Thank you.

424. Ash-man. What's up?

425. Good one.

426. Come on. The chicken?

427. What are you talking about?

428. There's chicken on the sink in the bathroom.

429. I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about.

430. Okay. Seriously, you got me.

431. - So, you win, you can tell me. - Wait. What happened?

432. There's loose chicken on the sink in the bathroom.

433. I told Dougie about the chicken thing with Nala.

434. - He's fucking with me. - Oh.

435. Oh.

436. The curse. That's right.

437. Stop. That seriously wasn't you?

438. I swear to God it wasn't me.

439. There would have been cameras rolling if it was.

440. Guys, we're ready outside.

441. Let's do it.

442. All right.

443. I saw a chicken in your hotel room

444. when I was there in your fridge.

445. Oh, that's right.

446. I had chicken in my fridge a week ago.

447. Must've been me, right?

448. All right, Freckle. Come on, get on your spot.

449. Okay. Where the fuck is Remy?

450. Hey, Remy, can we get you outside.

451. Remy, yes,

452. I thought you said we were ready.

453. So, now, rather than your rain or snow

454. evaporating or melting,

455. once Freckle over here is done with his handiwork,

456. it's all just gonna drain into here,

457. and then it's gonna pipe directly back

458. into your water supply.

459. Wow. That's, that's really cool.

460. It's kind of crazy that we haven't been doing this before.

461. I know.

462. Well, it's never too late to start.

463. Hey, have you ever worked a line before?

464. - What's that? - The fire hose.

465. Oh my God, I don't know if I could handle it.

466. I think you could. You seem strong enough.

467. Well, I mean, looks can be deceiving.

468. Feel this. It's so embarrassing.

469. Some of the most dangerous places

470. are the ones where you don't see the flames.

471. Tell me about it.

472. Uh...

473. Anyway, so the cistern here,

474. one of the greatest things about it is it doesn't use

475. any energy or power to drain the water,

476. so it's just gravity that's bringing it all down

477. and then putting it right back into your station.

478. Everyone is gonna get really wet—

479. if they want to, you know?

480. Yeah, we like that.

481. I think we're in.

482. It's pretty great, right?

483. - Yeah. - Yeah.

484. I don't even think he's paying attention,

485. but there's definitely something usable in that.

486. Mmm.

487. He's really worked up about that chicken thing, huh?

488. Did you put that in the bathroom?

489. Seriously, you can tell me. I'm not gonna tell him.

490. I wish that I was that smart.

491. - Oh, my God. - Please. I would—I would die,

492. but I'm not. I'm not.

493. What the hell do you and Cara text about?

494. Let me see your phone.

495. I can't show you. We talk about you all the time.

496. It's how we bonded, you know, we-we make fun of you.

497. - I'm not kidding. - Are you serious?

498. Yeah, I'm not kidding.

499. - Let me see your phone. - I can't show—I can't show you.

500. Dougie.

501. All right, fine. I'll show you. We don't talk about you at all.

502. You can see.

503. I actually, I did call you a bitch once,

504. but that was when we were fighting, so,

505. and I-I said you were acting like a bitch.

506. Okay.

507. Not that you were actually a bitch, so...

508. What's this?

509. That's some racist statue that she sent me,

510. some miniature golf course in Albuquerque.

511. It's filled with like prehistoric animals

512. and safari things,

513. and the Indian's the only human.

514. It's pretty fucked up.

515. It's funny, though.

516. - But racist, really racist. - Yeah.

517. Hmm, java.

518. I'll take one of those.

519. All right.

520. So, you're getting everything you need?

521. - Think so. - Okay.

522. So, how do the meals work around this place?

523. Is it like one guy cooks for everyone?

524. Or you take turns, or...

525. We'll sometimes take turns,

526. but it's usually Martinez that does it.

527. - He's really good at it. - Hmm.

528. What's on the menu today?

529. That's something you'd have to ask Martinez.

530. Ah.

531. Which one's Martinez again?

532. That guy right there.

533. Thanks.

534. Martinez? Or can I call you Marty?

535. Oh, my name's Martinez,

536. so let's maybe call me Martinez.

537. Okay. Fair, fair.

538. I hear you're the Guy Fieri of this place.

539. Well, those are the rumors.

540. You know, twice as good-looking.

541. Almost as talented. I'm getting there, though.

542. It's pretty close. It's pretty close.

543. So, what's on the menu today?

544. Lasagna.

545. What'd you guys have last night?

546. Ah, we just did tacos.

547. Chicken?

548. - Beef. - Mmm.

549. Nothing crazy.

550. Just 'cause there was, uh, some chicken in the bathroom.

551. I thought you guys might have just had it or something.

552. Yeah.

553. Murray!

554. - You missed a spot, man. - What?

555. There's chicken in the bathroom.

556. Chicken? Where?

557. In the bathroom.

558. No pollo in the potty.

559. Fuck you.

560. Sorry, that was not there an hour ago.

561. I think someone's playing a trick on me.

562. Are these cameras always on?

563. I think so.

564. Find the guy who cleaned the bathroom.

565. Okay, okay.

566. So, I-I wanna see everyone

567. who went into the bathroom

568. between now and the time that I went in.

569. I just wanna see.

570. Wait, pause it. Who's that?

571. - That's Joe. - Okay. Keep going.

572. Oh, go back. Who is that?

573. That's Ricoshem.

574. Is he holding any food or anything?

575. - I don't think so. - All right. Keep going.

576. Hey, what are you doing?

577. I'm just looking at something.

578. We're about to shoot the tour

579. of the fire station now.

580. Okay. Do you need me for that?

581. I guess not.

582. Keep playing.

583. Okay. Stop there. Go back. Go back.

584. Did he enter the bathroom?

585. Play. Play.

586. He didn't go in.

587. Okay. Keep going. Fast forward.

588. Does he ever go in?

589. Okay. That's me.

590. Go back to—yeah, can we go back to the guy

591. with the—the long hair who's talking to that girl?

592. What exactly are you looking for?

593. I don't know.

594. Okay.

595. Okay, pause, pause here.

596. Okay. Play from here.

597. Okay.

598. Pause here.

599. Can we go one frame at a time?

600. Okay.

601. What is he doing here?

602. Is he handing her something?

603. I don't think so.

604. Okay. Go ahead.

605. What was that?

606. Sorry!

607. That's been happening since you guys installed

608. that whole new solar system.

609. Oh.

610. There's a current law in New Mexico

611. that you can abandon your baby 90 days or younger

612. if you're going through a crisis.

613. So, this baby box hasn't been used,

614. but it's a really thought out and well-designed device,

615. it has three different alarms.

616. Once you open the door, an alarm goes off.

617. Once you place a baby inside, another alarm goes off,

618. and we'll get paged out and notified.

619. There's a heat sensor,

620. and there's also a camera in there

621. to let us know that there's a baby inside.

622. So, yeah, it's a really well-thought out

623. and well-designed piece of equipment

624. that's gonna save lives.

625. Well, thank you for sharing.

626. Um, it's a very interesting program.

627. We're excited to have it.

628. Give mothers a different option.

629. Mmm.

630. Should we go check out the weight room now?

631. - Let's go. - Okay.

632. Amazing work. Great, great, great.

633. Unbelievable. I mean, look at this thing.

634. You guys thought of everything. Look at that, air holes.

635. So, if I wanted one of your guys shirtless

636. in the weight room, is that a conversation I should have?

637. Or could you do that?

638. I guess I can do it.

639. Okay. I want Zach. All right?

640. - Okay. - Cool.

641. Interlace your fingers

642. back behind your head.

643. Bring your elbows together.

644. Relax and lean forward.

645. Good. Give yourself a hug.

646. And then...

647. Is this—is this gonna hurt?

648. Oh, no, no.

649. It's not gonna hurt.

650. You're good.

651. It feels good.

652. And then drop your arms...

653. and go ahead and turn your—

654. lean your head to the side, and the other side,

655. and then rotate it.

656. And the other way.

657. Just relax.

658. Oh, it hurts.

659. You got to relax.

660. You got to trust me.

661. I think— I think you should stop.

662. Yeah, no, you got this.

663. - It's okay. - I don't got it.

664. It's normal.

665. - Doctor— - Here.

666. - Just really lean back— - You should stop.

667. Lean back against me...

668. - and then— - I think it's just—

669. Just got to relax it a little bit more.

670. There we go.

671. - This— - That's it.

672. Just a little bit more.

673. No, just... just... just...

674. Little bit more. Just relax.

675. All right.

676. All right, and breathe in...

677. and out.

678. Oh.

679. All right.

680. And then breathe in and out.

681. There it is.

682. Do you even know what you're doing?

683. I'd better. I do this for a living.

684. You know what I used to do for a living?

685. Kick butt at tetherball.

686. What's tetherball?

687. That thing I gave you.

688. Oh.

689. So, you're still doing those, uh, tiny curses?

690. No.

691. Hmm.

692. You know, yesterday I was in the bathroom,

693. and there was some chicken on the sink.

694. That wasn't you, was it?

695. My dad was washing chicken in the sink yesterday,

696. and it was gross.

697. Yeah.

698. Hey, how about we play a little game, huh?

699. This'll be fun.

700. You tell me...

701. how many nails are under this bucket?

702. Can be any number.

703. Four.

704. No, three.

705. Very good.

706. Beginner's luck.

707. Let's try again.

708. No peeking.

709. All right.

710. How many this time?

711. Can be any number

712. from one to a hundred.

713. Three.

714. Good.

715. Okay.

716. All right. How many are in my hand?

717. Two.

718. You sure about that?

719. I think so.

720. All right. One more time.

721. Okay. How many now?

722. How many?

723. I don't know.

724. You don't wanna guess?

725. I think you need a Band-Aid.

726. Oh, it's just a scratch.

727. I'm okay. Don't worry.

728. Um, I think I'm gonna go home soon

729. 'cause I, um— I'm—I'm—I think I'm done.

730. I'm sorry.

731. For what?

732. I—I don't know.

733. You go—you go play. It's okay.

734. I'm just gonna clean up a little bit.

735. Okay.

736. I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
