including myself,

feels that you need

a bit more time

before you should interact

with patients directly.

You little sh*t.

When I started

working here

you hadn't even

finished high school.

That's true.

And now

I'm your supervisor.

And as your supervisor,

I suggest you chill

the f*** out

until further notice.

They've asked me

to keep an eye on you.

You're gonna f***ing die.

You're gonna

f***ing die.

You're gonna f***ing die.

You're gonna

f***ing die.

Claire?

Did I dial

the right number?

-Claire?

-It's me.

Is this

a bad time? Um...

Just thought we could talk

for a minute.

Listen, I made a mistake

by showing up yesterday.

I don't think

I'm the right person

to help you.

At least, not right now.

Okay, uh,

i understand, then.

-I shouldn't have called.

-No, no, no, no.

You can call anytime.

It-- it's great

that you're ready

to get help.

It's just that i--

I don't wanna

take your case right now.

I've got colleagues,

people who I trust

who can help you.

I'm just so sick.

I have these

stabbing pains inside,

and i-- I don't know

if it's my liver

and-- and i--

I need meds.

Something that can

keep me off the booze

for a little while.

I-- i-- I see things

that don't exist

and i-- the pain

doesn't stop.

I--

hurt myself, I don't--

i don't know in, I just--

-stay calm.

-But I can't live

like this anymore, okay?

Okay, don't do

anything stupid.

I'm gonna come and see you

after I finish up, okay?

I-- i-- I won't.

-Promise?

-Yeah, yeah, I promise

I promise. Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Yes, yes.

Can you please check

if this is correct?

And...

-Hey, Hannah.

-Hey.

Did Trevor leave you,

by any chance,

the keys

to the dispensary?

No, I have mine.

Do you need them?

Well, I have to submit

the meds inventory

to the board before lunch

and I had a little setback.

Mm-hmm.

Just hurry up, okay?

And bring them back

when you're done.

You're welcome.

-And now this one.

-Thanks.

What the f***

are you doing, Claire?

Stay out of this.

You didn't see me here.

Stealing

medication now?

Look, I'm warning you

right now, put it back.

--I said, put it back.

Don't you ever

touch me.

Claire-- I'm-- I'm gonna

tell the board about this.

You can consider

yourself fired.

Do you know

what happens here

when people get reported

for sexual harassment?

-You're a psycho b*tch.

-I know.

So how are you feeling?

Are you still in pain?

Yes.

Can you show me

where it hurts?

What kind of hallucinations

are you having?

None.

You told me

on the phone

that you were having

hallucinations.

No hallucinations

whatsoever.

Well, maybe...

I should

take these back

to the clinic then.

Give me those.

First you tell me

what you see.

First you give me

those f***ing pills.

Listen, I know

what is happening to you.

It's my job.

When you stop drinking

at your level of addiction

it can be

very dangerous.

No, stop!

No!

Don't do it.

When was the last time

you used alcohol?

If it hasn't been

at least eight hours

those anti-psychotics

could kill you.

Goddamn it.

F***ing b*tch.

Stop!

No!

No!

--Bullshit. Answer me.

--Stop!

Stop.

I never-- I never

wanted to scare you.

Okay?

You understand?

And I wouldn't

ever think

about hurting you, okay?

-Okay.

-All right,

so can we just--

can we work on this

together, okay?

You wanna--

you wanna help me,

right?

I- I don't even

know your name.

Okay, so, here's

what we're gonna do.

Okay, we're just gonna--

we're just gonna talk

like two good friends,

all right?

The fact is,

i do see things

that don't exist.

And I need those drugs,

but I don't think

i can stay sober

for eight hours.

-You follow me?

-Mmm.

I tried to stay clean.

I'd count the hours,

but I just can't do it.

That's why you have

to help me.

You just have

to stay with me

until I can take

those f***ing pills.

God.

Okay,

i don't think--

I don't have anyone else

to talk to about this.

Please, just stay with me,

it's not that long,

it's not that long,

it's just eight hours,

okay? Just please.

I'm desperate, okay?

Please?

Are you sure

you don't want any?

I don't know.

How are you feeling?

You haven't said a word

to me in seven hours.

Do you think

it would help?

Anything that can

take your mind off

drinking, yes.

Don't give me

that recycled

psychobabble bullshit.

Look, Daniel,

i know exactly

how you feel.

You don't know

a goddamn thing.

Have any of you ever

woke up in your own piss,

choking on your own vomit,

and not knowing who the f***

you're with?

Then you wanna come to me

with these sympathetic faces

saying,

"i know exactly

how you feel."

Don't you f***in' dare.

It's time.

So how long till

these babies begin?

Just a few minutes.

Good.

Well, if you're

not feeling better

and you become dizzy,

you can take an extra two

in an hour,

but I wouldn't do it

considering your condition.

Yes, well,

then, go away.

I can stay a little bit

longer if you want.

No, no, no,

that's all right.

I say no.

-No?

-Yeah.

Get out of my house!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What's going on

tonight?

What's going on?

Yeah, you wanna

f*** with me?

You don't wanna

f*** with me.

Go ahead and start

whenever you like.

And I can say anything.

Are-- are you sure?

I mean,

i have shown up here,

I got stories that would

give you the creeps.

Don't worry,

anything you say

will stay between

these four walls.

Once I had to have

surgery on my trachea.

They told me

that I couldn't

have any alcohol

for six weeks.

So after two days

i locked myself

in a hospital room

and gave myself

a cherry enema.

You know,

that's probably enough.

Let's take a break, okay?

I mean, was that weird,

guys?

Claire, do you still

have my keys?

Trevor asked me a lot

of questions when you left.

If something's goin' on,

you can tell me.

Okay, honey?

I'm recording.

-Honey!

-Yeah.

Do you have--

oh, okay!

-Let's make Stevie and Laura's.

-Okay.

Let's open some presents.

Okay.

Right, this one first.

This one...

Something special?

Yeah? Do you

want it or not?

Yes.

I hope you like

that one.

All right, let's see...

Yay!

Can you inflate it?

Here's your doll.

Here's your doll...

This anger-- this anger

that I feel inside

is eating me up.

Some days I feel

it's not the alcohol

that's making me unclear.

It's this f***ing anger.

This f***ing anger

that I can't express.

I can't f***ing

express it.

That is why I have

to close the book.

I have to kill.

I have to delete him

once and for all.

Answer. Come on.

Answer.

Can I hire you

as my new hairdresser?

Yeah.

Give me that.

What are you doing?

Sweetie, did you hear

the doorbell?

Why don't you go up

and see mommy?

Hello.

I am parked

on county line road.

I don't know

the exact address,

but I am next

to an old house,

on top of the hill.

If something

happens to me.

--What are you doing here?

Don't-- I'm not gonna

hurt you.

God.

Did you do it?
