The first 196 lines.
Think of an airplane
drifting through a hurricane,
not knowing it's about to crash.
When you live a toxic life
in a toxic environment,
your body adjusts to the toxins.
And goes into autopilot.
Bonnie?
What are you feeling? What's happening?
My boss said that he would fire me
if I cried so...
I haven't in a very long time.
I thought I was being strong.
May I touch you?
Your tears are your strength.
And, transparently, that means
the detox program is working.
Thank you.
Our bodies can be faster than our minds,
especially if our thoughts are poisoned
by S.C.'s,
which is what I like to call
"superficial crap."
I want to hear
from all of you. Let's each of us
name an S.C.
that you haven't missed
since you started your journey with me.
The answer might surprise you.
Lydia?
Um...
my cell phone.
Okay, Cathy?
Processed food.
Good. Ron?
My private plane.
There you go. Sheryl?
My therapist.
Good, good. Weena?
My followers on social media.
Go deeper. I think
I might hate all three million of them.
Keep going.
They're all S.C.'s.
I'm deleting my accounts. There you go.
Good for you.
Billy?
How about you?
Uh...
pass.
Billy asked for his car keys again.
I followed him this time, just like you suggested.
He's been so negative and I can't pinpoint why.
Tom.
He keeps junk food in his car.
I mean, he must be binging on it every night.
All those chemicals, all at once.
He's so lost.
I'll talk to him.
Thank you, Starlight.
I appreciate you so much.
Here.
Drink this.
Carrots contain fat-soluble carotenoids
that promote bile flow
and-and dill has antioxidant properties.
It'll clean out all the processed food
you've been eating in your car.
Thanks, but I don't want your juice.
And, transparently...
I was eating in my car because
your overpriced detox program has me starving.
If you were an active participant,
your hunger would transform into joy.
Uh, yeah.
I just, I really don't care.
What do you care about, Billy?
I care about what I rightfully deserve
in life.
Okay, good.
And you haven't gotten it.
I have this...
...endless
well of darkness
in me.
And it can't be healed by yoga
or fasting or meditation.
I need something more powerful.
I need something off the menu.
What did you have in mind?
I want to see Midori.
Kambo...
or the poisonous
venom of the monkey tree frog, was used
by ancient Amazonians to treat depression,
chronic pain,
even cancer.
Western medicine
promotes pills
and addiction to turn a profit.
But all we need is nature.
To be soothed by nature.
We are nature.
That's it.
Yes, let it go.
Let it go.
Good.
You're releasing your toxins.
And your anger.
Your pain.
Trust the medicine.
And let it go.
Lay back.
Good.
I'm very proud of you, Billy.
Stop calling me Billy.
My name is Cole.
Cole Campbell.
Yeah.
That Cole.
June's little brother.
I freaking knew
you were too much of a narcissist to recognize me.
You were just a kid.
I've been waiting 15 years to avenge her death.
Cole.
What are you gonna do, kill me?
Worse.
Because now I can prove everything
and finally
get what I deserve.
My face feels puffy.
We call that F.F.
Frog face.
It's a normal, harmless reaction to the venom.
It'll go down in a few days.
You sure I can't change your mind?
Shut up, Tom.
You've grown up to become...
...a very impressive young man.
I promise to learn from this.
Yeah.
Mmm. Mmm.
Drive safe.
Hey.
I haven't wanted to pry about things
that happened to you before,
but we should talk about this.
Are you okay?
How did these outlets get your name mixed up in this?
We should call the New York View
and tell them they made a mistake.
It's not exactly a mistake.
There's no way you covered up
what that man did to his first wife.
Right?
I did the best I could
with the information I had.
These people are reporting
that Van Ness's lawyers suppressed
his ex-wife's claims of domestic abuse.
Were you just a part of a huge firm that did this?
It's complicated.
But, um...
uh, no.
I wasn't working at the firm.
I was brought on, uh,
just for this case. Look.
I am having a very hard time with this.
You need to tell me what happened.
I can't. It's called attorney-client privilege.
I've been reading about you,
Ms. Tascioni. Do you know why this judge
in Chicago unsealed these papers?
Not yet, but I have known
certain judges stick together.
Keep me informed.
In the meantime, I need you on a case.
A young man, Cole Campbell,
was found deceased on the highway.
His car ran off the road.
Okay. Why me?
The last place he was seen was some fancy spa
where celebrities and the royals go to.
The global press is already trying to frame Meghan Markle
and she wasn't even there.
No quippy response from either one of you?
Okay then, Officer Blanke, you go with her.
Detective Smullen is already at the crime scene.
I think you can learn some more from him.
Is it just me or is his face really, really puffy?
Looks like too much Botox.
Mm, report's pending, but M.E. says
most likely an allergic reaction.
From what?
Could be anything.
