Euphoria

A lot of people ask what I've been up to since high school.

And honestly, nothing good.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Fuck.

Whoa! Fuck.

Whoa.

Fuck!

Okay.

Shit.

Go back.

Alright.

Come on.

Oh!

Ah. Fuck!

Put all my weight...

Ah!

Oh, shit.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Oh, shit. Ah, ah!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

There we go.

Okay. Whew.

You want a cup of milk?

Sure.

Thank you.

That's the best fucking milk I've ever had.

It's Dahlia's.

Thank you, Dahlia.

We wanna thank you, Lord Jesus Christ,

for giving us our daily bread and forgiving us our trespasses.

And Lord, please guide our new friend Ruby and her college newspaper to help expose

the pure evil that's pouring across our border

and poisoning our great nation, the United States of America.

Amen.

Amen.

- Amen. - Let's eat.

Alright, pass the eggs.

We're gonna help with your plate, sweetie.

You know who gets it first, Dad.

This is our address.

Will you be sure to send your article when it's in the paper?

Yeah, as long as the commies at college don't censor it.

- You're doing the Lord's work. - Thank you.

- Hope to see you again soon. - Thank you so much.

- Good luck with everything. - Yeah.

- Bye, guys. - Bye.

- Wish you well. - Thank you.

- Aw. - Safe travels.

- Thank you. - God bless!

Bye.

I just got my permit.

God bless, Ruby.

I've never been on the internet.

You know, Daisy, I think you got it made.

But I can't help but be curious.

All the people out there living big, exciting lives.

I'd trade spots with you in a heartbeat.

Why?

Thank you.

You ought to come back out in the spring and meet Dahlia's baby.

I just might.

- Oh, shit! - USA.

- Hey, USA, USA. - USA.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Hello, Rue.

Hey, baby.

- Where's my car? - I had to leave it behind.

Hm, I guess I'll just add it to your tab then.

A few years after high school,

I was working at a smoke shop.

- Could I just get a raw cone, please? - Yeah, for sure.

You can keep the change actually, thanks.

Okay.

Laurie, hey.

- How are you? - You owe me money.

No, I know, yeah. I was gonna pay you back.

- You were? - Yeah.

But then, you know, you moved.

I don't really have, like, ten grand right now.

Oh, you don't owe me ten grand, silly.

- I don't? - No.

You did 46 months ago, and now,

$10,000 at a 20% monthly interest rate

over 46 months means that you actually owe me

$43,887,000.

$43 million?

I'll settle for 100,000.

But I bet you don't have that either.

And that is how I became a drug mule.

Swallow.

I don't really think that's possible.

The most important thing

is to make sure each balloon is properly sealed.

After a few runs, I decided to bring a friend.

Fuck.

Ugh.

The danger of body packing is

if a balloon breaks,

you die.

Faye, get your ass in the car.

Okay, we gotta cross by 3:00.

Yo.

Sorry.

- Don't, man. - I can only clench for so long.

Yeah, I know, but you gotta keep that shit up there, alright? Breathe through it.

Damn!

- Sorry. - Faye, the fuck did you eat?

I'm good, thank you.

Turn the engine off, please.

Passports.

What were you ladies doing in Mexico?

I was just showing my girl

how the mamacitas do it down here.

- Ruby Bennett? - That's me.

Faye Valentine?

You have fun?

No.

- Welcome to America. - Thank you, sir.

Laurie! Harley! She's about ready to blow.

- Oh yeah. - Get the strainer. It's in the dishwasher.

My bad.

Come on, bro.

- Oh, shit. - Hang in there.

- Okay. - Hang in there.

- Okay. Okay. - Okay, I got you.

The fuck are you doing?

- Just breathe. - I had an accident.

- You better get the bucket. - Okay.

And that, ladies and gentlemen...

- Damn! - is how fentanyl

is smuggled into the United States.

After Fezco's house got raided,

Laurie left East Highland and went into business

with her cousin Harley and his son Wayne.

I'm not saying they're inbred,

- but I have my suspicions. - Appreciate it.

Looks good, Faye.

Here's to Rue.

You haven't been killed or caught yet.

Praise the Lord.

I'd done a dozen runs over the course of two years

and somehow ended up their number-one mule.

Guess you finally found something you're good at.

You think Wayne liked the spaghetti?

Mm, I think Wayne likes you.

You know, he's trying to get out of the drug business.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

He's been saving up.

That's why he's got a lot of money in his safe.

What safe?

The big one in his basement.

He wants to get into avocados,

and you can make a lot of money with avocados.

What else does he have in that safe?

I don't know. Important stuff.

- Where's the key? - On his belt.

What if there was a way to, like, take off his belt?

I think I can figure that out.

In between runs, I'd pick up extra cash driving for Uber.

This city is crumbling.

Crime is out of control. Somebody's got to do something.

Yeah, totally.

- Ooh, up here on the right. - Oh, okay.

Alright. Here you go.

- Stay out of trouble. - Yeah, will do, Batman.

I don't know, why are we still auditioning?

Boy Wonder. Hey, babe, how are you?

Yo, Howard! It's Bennett, open up!

- Hey! - Hey.

- How was Arizona? - Yeah, no, it was great.

Just got to hang out with Gia, and she's doing good.

She's, like, top of her class.

So was I.

I know.

Sometimes Lexi would let me crash on her couch.

But it always came with a lecture.

What are your long-term goals?

And since I couldn't be honest about what I'd been up to

I'd be vague.

Right now, it's kinda just a day at a time.

You have to plan for the future, because pretty soon

Uber drivers are gonna be extinct.

It's all gonna be automated, like AI. They're not gonna need people like you.

Right.

You know, I met these

these Christians on a homestead in Texas.

Christians in Texas?

It was a drop-off. But, yeah, the Miller family.

I can't stop thinking about them.

There's like six kids, and they lived on a farm

with like a bunch of animals.

And no technology. No nothin'.

And I genuinely think that they were the happiest people

I've ever met in my life.

'Cause they're in a cult.

Oh, well, maybe that's the answer.

Christianity?

I just feel like if I grew up religious, maybe my life would be better.
