- Yeah.

American Group takes Anthem.

They're downtown.

Um... OK.

I don't think I can go downtown right now.

I'm throwing my boyfriend

a surprise birthday party tonight.

And I'm... I-I just want you to know,

I did hear myself say that out loud.

So...

Did you want me to call American,

let them know you're coming?

- OK, Tammy, right?

- Mm-hm.

OK, so you're just going to take him to

one location. That's it, OK? Don't stop.

I just...

I can't stress how important that is, OK?

I'm sorry. She talks like that to everyone.

I'm really sorry I'm not taking you myself.

- I know you don't care, but this party...

- No, I really don't.

OK.

- Do you want to say goodbye?

- Goodbye.

OK, go and say goodbye.

Hey. Hey, monkey.

Hey.

Daddy's just feeling a little sick,

but I'm going to go get better, OK?

Hey.

I love you more than the whole wide world.

Can I get a kiss? Can I get a kiss?

Thanks, sweetheart.

Can I give you kisses?

OK.

So...

All right, can we... Let's go. Can we go?

Hi.

What the f*** took so long?

Where's the cake?

OK, still have to get the cake.

Can you watch Ella? She's in the car.

- Your phone is ringing.

- You're not meant to leave babies in cars.

She's sleeping, it's fine. I got it.

- All right. Where's Seth?

- He stayed home.

- Your phone is still ringing.

- I've got it.

- I'll just take it.

- I have it. I've got it.

OK. All right.

Chapter three.

You're here again.

You board the same boat.

Admit to yourself that you do not know

how to drive this boat.

Tell yourself you are the only person

who can drive this boat.

Now push off... and paddle.

Oh!

You look good.

Thank you. Better.

OK.

That was so close.

So close.

- Oh, is that Ella?

- She's asleep.

- She's napping.

- Where's Seth?

Um... He went home. Yeah. He had to...

Can you just give me one second, please?

- OK. Are you getting the cake?

- Yeah, I'm going to grab it now.

- So just take her with you.

- OK.

- She's passed out.

- Sorry, can you say that one more time?

- Yeah, it's fine.

- Yeah, let's just get a drink.

It's fine.

Everything's OK, though, right?

- Well, did she say where he went?

- Yeah.

You are on the fastest route

to American Drug Rehab Center.

In 100 feet,

turn right onto Santa Monica Boulevard.

You are on the same boat.

Keep right.

Notice the engine.

Try the wheel.

You cannot drive...

and you cannot paddle...

and think that you...

might... drown.

No, he was on Oxy. Now it's just heroin.

- I understand. -Don't say that you understand.

It's, like, the worst thing

that you can say.

- I understand that you're angry.

- Oh, my God. I'm going to lose my mind.

- I understand.

- You say that, and you keep saying it!

- I understand.

- Seth, are you OK? Where's the bathroom?

There's a bed in Pasadena. Hey, sir!

Come here, come here, come here. Hey. OK.

Daddy.

Take her away.

Get away. Get away.

It's OK, baby. It's all right.

Ella. Ella, it's OK.

Starting route

to Pasadena Recovery Center.

No, I can't!

I won't make it! I won't make it!

In 0.2 miles,

turn left onto Ferris Street.

- It's OK. Ella, it's OK. Look at me.

- Come on, man. You've got to let me out.

Just... Just f***ing let me out.

Shut the lights!

But she's not answering.

Yeah. Well, I'm sure she'll be fine.

OK. Where are you?

It hurts so f***ing...

It f***ing hurts.

Ella, baby, can you sing me a song?

Can you sing "Wheels on the Bus"?

Just... Just take me to get some.

I'll f***ing...

I'll go anywhere you want. Please.

- Daddy!

- Please. Just take me. I'll go.

In 0.6 miles,

turn right onto Los Angeles Street.

Katie, please. Please. Oh, no.

That's too far. It's too far.

All I do is lie for you.

I'll be... I'll be fine. I just need

a little bit. Just take me there.

I can't. I can't.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to f***ing do this to you.

I don't want to do this to you,

but I have to...

I'll be... It will be fine.

I'll be fine. I just need a...

I just need a little bit.

Katie, please!

OK, they're here. They're here.

Down, down. Shh.

Surprise!

What is going on?

- Is this my party?

- Yes!

Oh, my God. Wait, wait.

Where are you? Where is she?

She's um... There was...

There was a cake thing.

A problem with the cake,

but she's coming.

- Where is she?

- No, literally, she is getting a cake.

I cannot believe she would do this.

I have never been surprised before.

- Are you serious?

- I know!

We gave you your first surprise?

- Oh, my gosh.

- We did, yeah.

She is...

She's going to be so pissed

is what she's going to be.

I just need a little bit.

Katie, please.

I won't do it again.

I won't do it. This is the last time.

This is the last time.

I f***ing swear this is the last time.

Just a little bit.

I just need a little bit.

It's OK. It's OK.

Surprise!

What is going on?

- Is this my party?

- Yes!

Oh, my God. Wait, wait.

Where are you?

Where is she? Where is she?

Tell me where to go.

Get some at 7th and San Pedro.

Seventh and San Pedro.

I can't... I can't...

Chapter four.

Make a left onto Towne Street.

The boat is filling with water.

Re-routing.

- Do anything to save it.

- Make a legal U-turn.

The boat is all you have.

Turn around.

Do anything to keep it afloat.

Turn around.

Turn around.

I want... I want to turn around.

Can we turn around?

OK. All right, slow down.

What are you doing, man?

F***ing slow...

No. I'm going.

You're staying in the f***ing car.

- What? You're f***ing crazy. No.

- You won't come back.

No, you're not f***ing going.

If I leave you

in the car with her, you'll stay.

Right?

Six black.

That's what I say?

Come over here!

Orange tent.

Ask for Pete.

He uh... He looks like um... Chuck Palley.

Who is Chuck Palley?

The guy who worked

at the 7-Eleven on Victory.

I need six black...

please.

- You always said he was ugly.

- I never said that.

You say sh*t like that about everyone.

The door's open!

Close the door!

Don't look.

Don't look.

OK. It's OK.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Did you get it?

- Yeah.

- Let me see.

Let me see.

I want to get out.

He took them out of his mouth.

I want to go home.

You can't eat them.

Am I... Am I supposed to eat these?

I want to go home.

I mean,

I-I guess I didn't think about that.

There's a guy, he's under a blue tarp.

He sells needles for a buck. Can you...

- I'm not going back out there.

- Yes.

No.

I think I don't like this car.

All right, listen.

I need you to take me to a pharmacy...

before I die in your f***ing car, OK?

OK, I just need a second,

because I'm just a bit overwhelmed

with what just happened.

- Please go to the pharmacy.

- What we should do...

Go to the f***ing pharmacy, Katie!

Chapter five.

There is no boat.

There is no engine.

There is no paddle.

Admit to yourself

that there is only you...

and the water around you.

You are sinking.

You are drowning.

You are touching rock bottom.

OK.

So, we're here now.

Twenty-nine gauge,

1cc, short tip.

Please.

I'm sorry.

You're a f***ing piece of sh*t.
