just smile, doesn't mean you feel it,

something will change.

Smile!

Smile!

Smile!

Just smile! You know what?

I don't need this.

I don't have time for this sh*t!

When you're ready, I'll be back.

I'll be back in a few hours.

Maybe you'll think about it then.

No. Angel. No.

You're serious.

I'm waiting.

Smile.

Watch me.

Do a little Snoopy dance.

Smile.

You're faking it!

It's very strong.

Hydromorphone.

It works.

You didn't even wake up

when I pushed that through your leg.

- Angel.

- You don't even feel any pain.

You will feel pain.

Please, look, I need a hospital.

This book right here, your book, it says,

you are committed

to help individuals find their path.

Individuals.

What do I look like to you?

You just abandoned me!

What are you... Look, I wrote the book

to help people find a better life.

That's what I do!

I know what I'm talking about. All right?

Call Dillard and ask them

what my two graduate degrees are in.

Clinical Studies.

And the second is in Theology.

It's better for my patients if I know both.

You're making this very hard on yourself.

Only the truth

will set you free.

No. Angel.

I need a hospital.

Angel! No!

It's Tommy. Leave a message.

Hey, it's me.

I need to talk to you.

Call me back please.

What?

Angel, please. Give me a shot.

I want you, when I uncover your eyes,

to see the world anew.

The good, the bad, skillful deeds.

See it in the mind.

Only then,

can you see who you really are.

These are your words.

Is that the lesson?

You wrote, "The first truth

shows the presence

"of suffering.

"The second truth seeks

to determine the source

"of suffering."

No. No.

Oh, my God, Angel. No, please.

God, no! Okay.

Okay, I killed a cat.

I killed a cat. I killed a cat.

Go on.

I killed my mom's cat in third grade.

I wanted to see if it was true

if a cat had nine lives or not.

So I took my mom's cat in the garage

and I choked it.

It took a long time for it to die

and it scratched the sh*t out of me.

My mom found the cat in the trash

and she was crushed.

My dad wanted to beat me,

but my big brother Ben stepped in

and took the blame.

He's been a bad guy

and I've been a good guy ever since.

I see.

Worst thing that you've ever done?

Yes.

I swear to God.

Why did you work with me?

I mean, you said before that

you weren't taking any new clients,

but you sought me out,

you were looking for me.

Money. My brother needed the money.

Were you just using me?

Yes. Now could you please

let me out of here? Please?

You could die right here in this place

in a peaceful way or a painful way.

If you keep lying,

you're gonna live to regret it.

It's your phone.

Hey. It's your wife.

Don't you talk to her.

Don't.

Don't talk to her.

That's for the cat.

Hey.

You want me to read you

a spooky ghost story?

Not tonight.

Hey, there's something

talking to me from down there.

- That was you.

- It was not me.

I'm telling you.

He's down there talking to me.

There's monsters in the basement.

No!

For real. There are

really scary monsters...

I'm gonna take Leonard with me.

We're gonna go downstairs.

We're gonna take care

of those nasty monsters.

Love you.

Don't die.

Good job, Cathy.

Try a little tighter. A little tighter.

Good girl.

Excuse me. Is this Karma Kids Yoga?

- Yeah.

- Hi.

I'm here to pick up my daughter Francesca.

- She didn't make it today.

- What?

Her father was supposed

to bring her to class.

Well, schedules can sneak up on you.

It happens all the time.

No. Her father always

sticks to the schedule.

You want to use my cell?

No. You know what? He lives right nearby.

I can just stop over there.

My husband, Tommy Carter,

he's been working with Angel.

Is he in construction, too?

No, he's a life coach.

- They were in sessions last week.

- Oh, no.

I doubt that.

Angel doesn't really open up to people.

I really gotta go find her.

Thank you!

F***.

You were in her room.

The next stage

is acceptance.

Acceptance of who we are.

Acceptance of our situation.

Acceptance of what we become.

Rules!

You come clean and it will stop.

Okay. All right.

Okay.

My brother was in love with a girl

who worked at Chantilly Lane, a bar.

A bar uptown.

He used to make me go with him

just so he could see her smile.

He said her smile used to melt him.

I talked to her

and made her go out on a date with him.

But the two of them didn't work out.

- When he got arrested...

- Yeah.

...I went back to that bar

and her smile melted me, too.

I never visited him in prison

because I felt so bad.

I felt wrong.

Yeah.

Angel,

why are you keeping me here?

Don't.

Angel?

Help!

- Don't make a sound.

- Help me!

- Help! Somebody help me!

- Shut up!

Angel, open up. It's me.

Okay, she was supposed to be at yoga.

You cannot just switch up the plans

on me without telling me.

She didn't want to go.

I didn't want to make her.

It's because she doesn't want to take yoga.

She wants to take ballet.

You're the one who pushed her to take yoga.

- Sophie.

- Where is she?

She's fine. Okay.

She's fine. She's upstairs,

she's doing her homework. I got this.

What's all this? Is this blood?

Wow. Yeah. I guess so. I...

I've been working so hard, I probably

nicked myself, I didn't even realize it.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

Okay, you need to start

being honest with me.

Look, I cannot risk leaving

her here if you...

Hey, Mom.

Hi, baby.

- Sweetie, you okay?

- Yes.

Daddy, can you please help me

clean Leonard's bowl?

Sophie, please don't make her think

there's something wrong with me.

I can't take that.

Don't do it. Don't. Don't.

Don't let her think that.

Daddy, you coming?

Daddy, will be right in, baby.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Take your pills.

Let me walk you to your car, all right?

Hey, what did you do with all that

horrible plastic you had everywhere?

I... Let me move this.

I took it down

and I wrapped up some garbage

and threw it in the basement.

You know, you should fix this place up.

Try to sell it. Get a

fresh start, you know.

I mean, there's just too much stuff that

needs to be fixed up right now. I mean...

Hey. Hey. Hey.

- Sorry.

- Close your eyes.

- Okay.

- Close your eyes. Okay?

Yeah.

Now remember your mama taught me this.

She said,

"Wipe the trouble away.

"Let the beauty in.

"Wipe the trouble away.

"Let the beauty in."

Angel, don't go back to that dark place.

You hear me?

I...

I've been having sessions

with this guy and...

- Really?

- Yeah, I've been working on

getting past my issues.

He's been helping me channel all that.

- Really?

- Yeah, it's working.

I never would have thought you...

That's great.

Just say you'll come home.

I can't.

Soon, right?

I...

I'm done with the living room.

And I've been trying to

finish those cabinets

in the kitchen that you always wanted.

Trying to make it really, really special.

Beautiful.

Perfect for you.

I know you are.

Why don't you try to make it
