Freeland (2020) - full transcript
An aging pot farmer finds her world shattered as she races to bring in what could be her final harvest.
- Hey.
- Howdy.
- How's the trip?
- Long.
There you go.
So you guys liked
the sample, huh?
Ah, he thinks it's good.
You got any more?
Well, you can wait
a couple of weeks.
I'm just about to
bring in my dab.
I have to check in with Mike.
What are we talking,
20, 30 pounds?
More like 50, I'm hoping.
I might be able to stick
around, make the rounds.
Well, I'll let you know
when it's ready then.
Sounds good.
- Eight.
- Yeah, perfect.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
Case, I
got you at 49 hours,
- 980.
- Mm-hm.
Yup.
- Just took them out, right?
- Eyes on.
Okay.
Thanks Dev.
- Mara.
- Hmm.
- 52 hours, 1040.
- All you got to do
is go to Waikiki beach.
No, No sir, have your beads
on, have our surfboard
and any tourist
want to give money
to people who look like me.
Amen.
They think you-
- They will pay you
to take a picture with you.
I will gladly do so.
That's what they
pay you the money for.
But you do surf, right?
I mean, you
know, I can get on one.
Ah man, you go to
Kuwait their shit is pristine.
I know
it is beautiful.
They shot "Jurassic
Park" there.
Come on.
What?
Give him a break,
it's the last film he ever saw.
What?
Nothing,
going back to "Jurassic Park".
It's a good fucking movie,
it's a good fucking movie.
How's college going?
All right.
That's it, that's all we get?
What are
you studying anyway?
I don't even know.
You just make up your own,
you make your own program
when you're there,
so it's my own thing.
You know what you
should do, Mara?
What should I
do, Josh, tell me?
You should
write a book.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, you're,
you're so smart.
Thank you, Josh.
You're way
smarter than me.
Oh, that's a fact.
And I think, I think, if you
write a book about Humboldt-
- Ooh, I'll read that.
I mean, I got some stories.
I know you do, you've
seen some shit.
I would love to see
my name in a book.
And you do too,
Saturday night was a
fucking story, Jesus.
And then, once the thing
sells, you know, the TV rights,
and that thing might
blow the fuck up.
Oh my God.
Because that's so
what I'm in this for.
Look, I'm just saying,
I care about you guys,
I just want to see us all happy
and fruitful and successful.
So, if
she wrote a book-
- And we all got in on it, okay-
- We all got it on my book
- that I'm writing-
- No, I'm just saying-
I was, uh, I was
talking to Kenny,
he's got this package he's
putting together to take East.
Mm-hm.
And, uh, Dev, you would not,
you would not believe the
prices he was telling me about.
And we're talking like some
really, like '90s shit.
And while we're
hanging out I was like,
"Hey, you got to try
Dev's new strain."
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
So, he tries it.
- Yeah?
- He fucking loved it.
He thought it was
fucking amazing.
He loved it so much,
he was crazy about it.
In fact, Dev, he was so
talking crazy about it,
he said, "I gotta take
this shit with me."
He said, "I have to include it
as part of that
East Coast package."
Josh.
Dev.
I've got my own system.
Dev, I'm just saying,
it would not kill you just to
modernize just a little bit.
Look, I don't even know
where you are with the,
the guy in Nebraska,
if you're still working
with him or not,
but you got to really be honest.
You got to think about what
are you going to do, you know,
what are you going to do
when they legalize there,
because once they legalize
there we're stuck, we're fucked.
They're not going to legalize
in the fucking Nebraska.
Of course they're
going to fucking
legalize it in fucking Nebraska,
they're legalizing
everybody else.
Like, why wouldn't
they do it there?
I'm telling you, Dev,
if we put our heads together
and we could try to find some
like new modes of
like distribution,
maybe like some new products.
I mean, and plus, you'd
have me, you know.
We could work together,
we could be partners.
Eventually, I mean, we
don't do that right away.
But, you know, after
we get into a rhythm,
that's what we do.
Hmm, and you know
what else we do?
What?
We focus on bringing
in the harvest.
Not eventually, now.
Okay?
Okay.
10,000 a day for cultivation,
another 10,000 for non
permitted structures.
They really went after you.
I assume you never
applied for a permit?
No.
You think the county
was going to let this go on
without getting their cut?
But, this is crazy though,
they know I can't pay
this kind of fine.
It's a scare tactic, but
you can't just ignore it.
If the fines accumulate
the county could put a
lien on your property.
In a few months,
you could end up
owing more than what
the land is worth.
Okay, they want me to get
a permit, get me a permit.
Right, okay, but going legal,
especially this
late in the game,
it's tremendously expensive.
We're talking 10s of
thousands of dollars here,
and there's no guarantee that
the permit will even go through.
So, it's a huge risk, right,
and I don't want to be in
the business of asking folks
to put their property or
their retirement on the line
to fight this thing,
because I can't guarantee
that they're going to win.
So, what are you suggesting,
that I just give it all up?
Well, as your legal
adviser, I need to tell you,
that's the safest thing
to do at this point,
but of course it's up to you.
I don't think some of these
guns are quite ready yet,
I think we could use
just a few more days.
Hmm, I want them out today.
I know, but they color's
just not quite there.
Today, okay?
It was just my mom's
voice in my head,
and there's a little bit me too.
Like, lately I've just
been wondering if it's,
any of this was
even sustainable.
Well, living
your mother's life
is certainly not sustainable,
I can tell you that much.
Yeah.
Maybe it's more a purpose
thing then, I don't know.
I think you're doing great,
come on, you're working hard,
the universe is
looking out for you,
it's gonna help you
find your right path,
and you'll be up, out,
gone, don't think too much.
I don't know if
it's the right path though.
Oh, no.
Mom keeps
talking about,
"There's a program at
the tribal college,
you could transfer."
You've always got choices.
Yeah, just, how do
you make the right ones?
How old were you guys then?
Early
years, early years.
Be honest with me.
This was
1970, what, '75.
Pass that, Mara.
The thing was,
we had our commune
and there were these guys
down the hill, pacifists,
and, uh, they didn't believe
in defending themselves,
they were pacifist, you know.
God, I hate pacifists.
So, yeah, they asked us,
because I knew we
had a few shotguns,
they asked us to go out
and sit on their porch
and protect them
from the rednecks.
So, we said, "All right."
So, we're sitting out there
on the porch freezing
our asses off.
Anyway, at some point,
uh, Devi turns to me,
she says, "Ray,
do you hear that?"
And sure enough I do, it's
coming from the house.
Yeah, these strange noises.
We go and peak in,
and guess what?
They were having an orgy.
A true to God orgy!
And so what
did you two do, Ray?
Well, we said, "Fuck
you, you're on your own."
And we went home.
Mm-hmm.
Not at all true, of course,
what we did is we
put the guns down
and we went inside and
introduced ourselves,
and just joined right in.
Ah, we did.
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
You know what though,
they did not make it, sadly.
The trust fund dried
up and they were gone,
they didn't even make a year.
Yeah, they had one
good night though.
God damn fucking bureaucrats.
Oh, don't, don't
let them get you down.
It's just a pile of paper.
Yeah.
Don't let them intimidate you.
You got to put your hands
up, baby, it's windy.
There you go.
Yeah.
Did you file for
your permit yet?
I'm not
doing that, Devi.
What?
Pulled all my
plans out yesterday.
No, Ray.
It's done, I'm done.
Ooh, this your new strain?
Oh, I think it's
one of your best.
Have you got a name for it yet?
I'm working on it.
Oh?
What would you say?
Well, Cosmic Trees.
Oh, nice, I like that.
I want to go like planetary or,
uh, Saturn Moon, Rebel Moon.
Rebel Moon.
No.
Just take it.
Actually, okay, as
you take this toke,
you are smoking God's pussy.
You know she has one, come on!
Oh.
Well, Devi, Devi?
Hmm?
You got to share
God's pussy with the world.
Amen, I intend to.
Ooh, how about some
more brother Ray?
Ah.
Ah.
Oh, my God.
How did we get here?
Hmm.
10,000.
Hold your horses.
Yeah, we have harvests
coming in all the time.
This is a lot of work.
It's all automated, Dev.
Yeah, still.
Yeah, I'm really happy
with this trident this year,
isn't it beautiful?
You got a little
yellowing, but yeah, very nice.
Great.
Hey, Dev, I, uh,
heard about the letter.
Hmm.
I saw it in the paper.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, you want to follow
me, I got it ready to pack.
What?
Mike says we can't work
with you anymore, Devi.
Okay, what?
What...
Why?
Your name's in
the newspaper, Dev.
Oh.
Come on.
Just bullshit, it
doesn't mean anything.
Well, Mike's a little
bit paranoid, so-
- I, I, one last deal.
Sorry, Dev.
You can't talk to him for me?
Mike says you're done,
there ain't nothing I can do.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Can you do it?
- Yeah.
Yeah, you almost had it.
- Hey.
- Hey, hey.
Okay, so we're gonna start
with little pep talk.
What a great job
you've all done,
you've come a long
way for a season
never would know.
The rookie thing is gone.
And I appreciate it, okay.
We got some kick ass weed,
I think, to take the market.
And some years you have
good crop and bad business,
and that's what
we're facing here.
We've got all this
government crack down shit
and, uh, all these
permits and applications
and it's, like, bleeding me dry.
So, what does it mean for us?
Well, I have a proposal for
a different pay structure.
Right now we get paid at
the end of every week,
and I'm proposing that
we would take a lump sum
at the end of the season.
And if you agree to this,
then there'll be
significant bonus attached.
And what if we don't?
Then I don't know how
were going to make it.
I've been doing
this a long time,
I've never left anybody
in the lurch on money.
I know.
But if you cannot then I
will pay you off through today,
and I'll have to find somebody
else to take your place.
So, did I lose everybody?
No, they're not leaving.
I talked to them.
God, it's beautiful.
Hmm.
This you've built here.
Yeah.
It's fucking beautiful.
You know what?
Well, I'm going to get
another one, you want one?
I'm good.
Do some damage.
Don't worry Dev, we got this.
Oh.
Oops!
- You are so-
- It wasn't me, I swear.
You're cut off dude.
Come on.
You are really fucked up.
What?
I think I hurt my back.
Great.
Shit!
Hmm, it's good.
Dev,
I want to help you.
I'm sorry, I'm just
trying to help.
I'm going to be sick.
Don't tell anybody about this.
I think I need to lay down.
Yeah.
I'm going to
lay down just a minute.
Yeah.
Okay, Josh, I got you a
hot water bottle here.
When you go back
to your trailer,
you just get it into bed with
you when you go to sleep.
Oh boy.
Josh.
Josh?
Hmm.
Wake up.
Hmm.
Wake up.
Come on.
Hmm.
Come on, get up.
Can I just stay here?
No.
Hmm.
Come on buddy, come on.
Get up.
I'm up, I'm up,
I'm up, I'm up.
- Oh.
- I'm up.
- Up.
- I'm up.
Come on.
There you go.
Okay.
Here, I got you
a hot water bottle.
Fuck.
I know, I know.
Forward, just come on.
Ah, geez.
Come on.
Here.
Take care of your back,
you put it against
your back in bed, okay.
Hey, hey.
Are you okay?
You need some help?
No, I got it.
So, do we need to talk?
I don't think so, why?
Dammit.
What's up?
No, no.
So that's it?
Okay, we good then?
Yeah, we're good.
Hey, Buddha.
Hey,
Dev, how are you?
I am good, how
the heck are you?
Good.
It's been a while.
Uh, yeah.
You grew that beard back.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, just got
tired of shaving.
That girlfriend must
be gone now, right?
Yeah, thanks for
reminding me of that.
I'm sorry,
I didn't, I didn't,
I did not mean to.
I did just remember
it as a funny story.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So, how are the folks?
Uh-huh, they're great.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, they're really good.
Are they home?
No, you know, they're, uh,
they're off traveling, you know.
No, I did not know.
Yeah, they're, uh, they're
in Australia right now.
Oh my God, how cool.
Yeah, yeah, I finally
talked them into it,
you know, enjoy the fruits
of your, uh, labors.
Yeah.
You know, let me take,
take it off your hands.
That's great that
they trusted you.
You were ready, you know?
Uh, yeah.
It's a big job, look
what you've done here.
Oh, yeah, no, there's
a lot of changes.
This is crazy, I mean,
I would not have
recognized the place.
Everything is all like, right.
Well, it's
been a while since,
uh, it's been a while
since you've been up here.
It is, yeah.
But, you know, yeah.
Give me a tour?
Yeah, yeah, let
me show you around.
We moved that pond, like I said,
it was over there
if you remember.
Yeah, what did
that set you back?
Uh, well, it wasn't
pretty, but, um-
- Yeah I know.
We had to,
in the end it, you know,
in the end it made sense.
Yeah, it does, it, it does.
And now it's a real
working venture.
- Sure.
- You know.
So nice seeing the
place looks so good.
Thanks Dev.
Yeah, a lot of work.
Yeah, I'm sure you did.
I'll say
it's, uh, paying off.
Well, when you finally
hear from your parents
tell them I said, "Hi."
Of course, I will, I will.
Yeah, I'm sorry you missed them.
Yeah, I'm not a good
communicator lately, my...
So listen, do you
ever get any calls
from any of the guys back
East looking for product?
The reason I'm asking is,
I'm having a little
trouble moving mine
and it is a really
special strain this year.
And I wondered if you
might know anybody
you could hook me up with.
Uh-
- I could give
you a really good price.
Uh, well, uh...
Well, Devi...
Look, I have to be honest, um,
I mean even if I could
help you, I can't.
I really can't, there's,
I mean, I gotta
prove all my product
is coming from legal source.
Um, but if I could...
Look, I just,
I mean, some of us are
working really hard
and putting up a lot of money
to make this transition,
and it's kind of unfair if,
uh, some other people
aren't following
that same rules, you know.
Yeah, I wasn't asking
you to move my product.
I was asking if you knew anyone
who could move my product.
No, come
on, I'm not trying to-
- No, no, no-
- Be an asshole
about it, I just-
- It's all good.
Well, if I hear of
anything I'll let you know.
It'll be all gone by then.
Uh.
Well,
it's good to see you.
You too.
Okay, what's up?
So, you know how
we were talking about
- school the other day?
- Yeah.
I was just looking
stuff up online
and I need to register
for classes really soon.
Cool, you should do that.
I also have to pay
tuition when I do that.
Oh.
I have it all lined out,
it's just taking a little
longer than usual, okay?
Okay, okay.
So fucked up.
Oh man, we
can.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, is Canyon gonna come out
and help you with all this?
My son-in-law is
flying in next week
and, uh, we'll rent a truck
and drive together
cross country,
with the rest of my stuff.
That'll be that.
Anyway, I appreciate
you doing this with me.
I really want to see the
old commune one last time.
A bunch of abandoned
buildings full of rat shit.
Yeah, well, you
know what though?
I was never as happy as I was
when we lived there,
honest to God.
Those first few years,
all of us together,
in that big house.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
We promise to live in
community, to protect the land,
to be open to ourselves
and each other.
Oh, my God.
The rules.
We were just kids,
babies.
What a view, huh?
Well, it's going
to be right here,
and so am I.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you, too.
Do not.
Can I kill it?
Got a little splash.
You got to
put it in the fridge.
Yes, you got it.
Fantastic.
This is just the good stuff
I was telling you about.
Still got that salsa too?
We're sorry, the propane
was out at the trailers.
We're going to cook if
you want to join us?
It's chicken.
She's not going to,
let us eat, right?
No.
That's exactly
what she's doing.
She's a little gnome
in that fucking room
and she's hiding
in a little corner.
She's drinking herself
to sleep saying,
"Oh, I'm so alone.
Oh, I'm so alone."
It's a fucking joke!
It's a fucking joke!
Got the moves, you got the
moves, you got the moves.
All right.
We got to be there
after nine, right?
I've got a really
incredible strain this year.
It's the year I'm going
legal, so timing is wonderful.
If you have a good
distributor that you know,
I'm in the market, thanks.
Hi, I'm Devi.
32 years in the business,
I'm going legal.
Looking for a good
distributor, move my strains.
They're pretty special,
we even up in Humboldt.
Here's how to contact me.
- Hey.
- Hey, good to see you.
- Nice.
- Had to do it.
Um, because I'm seeing a lot
of clients who are saying,
you know, "I have
this registration,
I have this trademark.
Clearly my brand,
because I have a farm,
is worth $100 million."
Right.
And they're,
that's inaccurate.
So, so, I think there's
something really interesting
that could be happening
in the cooperative
model, right now.
Right, um,
yeah, I think this is going
to be one of the biggest
grassroots industries
in the recent history
of the United States.
Yeah, just look
at the growth of, 500-
Hey, what's funny?
What?
We're just chilling.
Seems like something is
really funny going on here?
Let me see your phone!
- Give me your phone!
- Yo, yo.
- Give me your phone!
- Hey, hey!
Calm the fuck down.
What so funny?
What do you mean what's funny?
You were laughing,
what are you laughing at?
I'm fucking laughing
at this fucking asshole.
Been having a lot
of good laughs at me.
What are
you talking about?
Okay, you know what?
I got one for you, you're fired.
What?
You're fired.
What the fuck did I do?
You know very
well what you did.
I, no, I don't Dev.
- And you know what?
- It's a little-
- You're fired too.
- Dev.
This, this, this is
so fucked right now.
Dev, this is fucked.
You need to pack up and I
want you out of here tonight.
We didn't do anything,
you're the one who's
fucking holding out on us.
30 years I've
been in the business
and I've never
ripped anybody off,
okay, and while I'm out in there
trying to figure the fuck out
so I can pay you little shits,
you are fucking pranking me!
And, and
you are, and you are-
- You're pranking me!
And you are lying to us!
You lied to us, and all we
did was call you out on it.
I want you out of here.
Dev, will you
calm the fuck down?
No!
It's a
fucking joke, come on.
- Get out!
- It was a fucking-
- Get out.
Dev, calm down
and just go back to-
- Get out!
Get out!
Fuck.
Who needs a fucking drink?
Whoo!
Hey, is
everything okay?
Huh?
Is everything okay?
Yeah,
everything's fine.
Case, come on bud,
have a drink with me.
It's too far, Josh.
What is too far?
Ain't nothing too far.
Why are you upset?
Dude, do not listen to her.
You understand me?
We're fine, everything's fine.
Let's say that she meant
what she said, right,
then it's a win-win
for you and me.
You're going to Kuwait
my friend, right?
Go to Kuwait and
me, I'm going to go,
I'm going to go out
to fucking Seattle.
I say, I say we make
a toast to freedom.
Here's to being a free man.
Holy shit, Josh.
Get out.
Dev?
Get out.
Dev, you have a loaded
gun pointed at me.
What are you doing here?
Devi, let's talk about
this very calmly.
You're very upset and I
think we should talk, okay?
I'm right here in front of you,
and Casey, I mean,
he has nothing to do-
Okay!
Fuck.
Case, start the truck.
I'm going to grab
the keys, okay, Dev.
Mara?
No, Mara?
Mara?
Mara.
Mara wait.
- I'm going.
- Mara, please wait.
Would you take this?
Just take it.
I don't want it.
It's worth a lot, Mara.
No, it isn't.
- Howdy.
- How's the trip?
- Long.
There you go.
So you guys liked
the sample, huh?
Ah, he thinks it's good.
You got any more?
Well, you can wait
a couple of weeks.
I'm just about to
bring in my dab.
I have to check in with Mike.
What are we talking,
20, 30 pounds?
More like 50, I'm hoping.
I might be able to stick
around, make the rounds.
Well, I'll let you know
when it's ready then.
Sounds good.
- Eight.
- Yeah, perfect.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
Case, I
got you at 49 hours,
- 980.
- Mm-hm.
Yup.
- Just took them out, right?
- Eyes on.
Okay.
Thanks Dev.
- Mara.
- Hmm.
- 52 hours, 1040.
- All you got to do
is go to Waikiki beach.
No, No sir, have your beads
on, have our surfboard
and any tourist
want to give money
to people who look like me.
Amen.
They think you-
- They will pay you
to take a picture with you.
I will gladly do so.
That's what they
pay you the money for.
But you do surf, right?
I mean, you
know, I can get on one.
Ah man, you go to
Kuwait their shit is pristine.
I know
it is beautiful.
They shot "Jurassic
Park" there.
Come on.
What?
Give him a break,
it's the last film he ever saw.
What?
Nothing,
going back to "Jurassic Park".
It's a good fucking movie,
it's a good fucking movie.
How's college going?
All right.
That's it, that's all we get?
What are
you studying anyway?
I don't even know.
You just make up your own,
you make your own program
when you're there,
so it's my own thing.
You know what you
should do, Mara?
What should I
do, Josh, tell me?
You should
write a book.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, you're,
you're so smart.
Thank you, Josh.
You're way
smarter than me.
Oh, that's a fact.
And I think, I think, if you
write a book about Humboldt-
- Ooh, I'll read that.
I mean, I got some stories.
I know you do, you've
seen some shit.
I would love to see
my name in a book.
And you do too,
Saturday night was a
fucking story, Jesus.
And then, once the thing
sells, you know, the TV rights,
and that thing might
blow the fuck up.
Oh my God.
Because that's so
what I'm in this for.
Look, I'm just saying,
I care about you guys,
I just want to see us all happy
and fruitful and successful.
So, if
she wrote a book-
- And we all got in on it, okay-
- We all got it on my book
- that I'm writing-
- No, I'm just saying-
I was, uh, I was
talking to Kenny,
he's got this package he's
putting together to take East.
Mm-hm.
And, uh, Dev, you would not,
you would not believe the
prices he was telling me about.
And we're talking like some
really, like '90s shit.
And while we're
hanging out I was like,
"Hey, you got to try
Dev's new strain."
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
So, he tries it.
- Yeah?
- He fucking loved it.
He thought it was
fucking amazing.
He loved it so much,
he was crazy about it.
In fact, Dev, he was so
talking crazy about it,
he said, "I gotta take
this shit with me."
He said, "I have to include it
as part of that
East Coast package."
Josh.
Dev.
I've got my own system.
Dev, I'm just saying,
it would not kill you just to
modernize just a little bit.
Look, I don't even know
where you are with the,
the guy in Nebraska,
if you're still working
with him or not,
but you got to really be honest.
You got to think about what
are you going to do, you know,
what are you going to do
when they legalize there,
because once they legalize
there we're stuck, we're fucked.
They're not going to legalize
in the fucking Nebraska.
Of course they're
going to fucking
legalize it in fucking Nebraska,
they're legalizing
everybody else.
Like, why wouldn't
they do it there?
I'm telling you, Dev,
if we put our heads together
and we could try to find some
like new modes of
like distribution,
maybe like some new products.
I mean, and plus, you'd
have me, you know.
We could work together,
we could be partners.
Eventually, I mean, we
don't do that right away.
But, you know, after
we get into a rhythm,
that's what we do.
Hmm, and you know
what else we do?
What?
We focus on bringing
in the harvest.
Not eventually, now.
Okay?
Okay.
10,000 a day for cultivation,
another 10,000 for non
permitted structures.
They really went after you.
I assume you never
applied for a permit?
No.
You think the county
was going to let this go on
without getting their cut?
But, this is crazy though,
they know I can't pay
this kind of fine.
It's a scare tactic, but
you can't just ignore it.
If the fines accumulate
the county could put a
lien on your property.
In a few months,
you could end up
owing more than what
the land is worth.
Okay, they want me to get
a permit, get me a permit.
Right, okay, but going legal,
especially this
late in the game,
it's tremendously expensive.
We're talking 10s of
thousands of dollars here,
and there's no guarantee that
the permit will even go through.
So, it's a huge risk, right,
and I don't want to be in
the business of asking folks
to put their property or
their retirement on the line
to fight this thing,
because I can't guarantee
that they're going to win.
So, what are you suggesting,
that I just give it all up?
Well, as your legal
adviser, I need to tell you,
that's the safest thing
to do at this point,
but of course it's up to you.
I don't think some of these
guns are quite ready yet,
I think we could use
just a few more days.
Hmm, I want them out today.
I know, but they color's
just not quite there.
Today, okay?
It was just my mom's
voice in my head,
and there's a little bit me too.
Like, lately I've just
been wondering if it's,
any of this was
even sustainable.
Well, living
your mother's life
is certainly not sustainable,
I can tell you that much.
Yeah.
Maybe it's more a purpose
thing then, I don't know.
I think you're doing great,
come on, you're working hard,
the universe is
looking out for you,
it's gonna help you
find your right path,
and you'll be up, out,
gone, don't think too much.
I don't know if
it's the right path though.
Oh, no.
Mom keeps
talking about,
"There's a program at
the tribal college,
you could transfer."
You've always got choices.
Yeah, just, how do
you make the right ones?
How old were you guys then?
Early
years, early years.
Be honest with me.
This was
1970, what, '75.
Pass that, Mara.
The thing was,
we had our commune
and there were these guys
down the hill, pacifists,
and, uh, they didn't believe
in defending themselves,
they were pacifist, you know.
God, I hate pacifists.
So, yeah, they asked us,
because I knew we
had a few shotguns,
they asked us to go out
and sit on their porch
and protect them
from the rednecks.
So, we said, "All right."
So, we're sitting out there
on the porch freezing
our asses off.
Anyway, at some point,
uh, Devi turns to me,
she says, "Ray,
do you hear that?"
And sure enough I do, it's
coming from the house.
Yeah, these strange noises.
We go and peak in,
and guess what?
They were having an orgy.
A true to God orgy!
And so what
did you two do, Ray?
Well, we said, "Fuck
you, you're on your own."
And we went home.
Mm-hmm.
Not at all true, of course,
what we did is we
put the guns down
and we went inside and
introduced ourselves,
and just joined right in.
Ah, we did.
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
You know what though,
they did not make it, sadly.
The trust fund dried
up and they were gone,
they didn't even make a year.
Yeah, they had one
good night though.
God damn fucking bureaucrats.
Oh, don't, don't
let them get you down.
It's just a pile of paper.
Yeah.
Don't let them intimidate you.
You got to put your hands
up, baby, it's windy.
There you go.
Yeah.
Did you file for
your permit yet?
I'm not
doing that, Devi.
What?
Pulled all my
plans out yesterday.
No, Ray.
It's done, I'm done.
Ooh, this your new strain?
Oh, I think it's
one of your best.
Have you got a name for it yet?
I'm working on it.
Oh?
What would you say?
Well, Cosmic Trees.
Oh, nice, I like that.
I want to go like planetary or,
uh, Saturn Moon, Rebel Moon.
Rebel Moon.
No.
Just take it.
Actually, okay, as
you take this toke,
you are smoking God's pussy.
You know she has one, come on!
Oh.
Well, Devi, Devi?
Hmm?
You got to share
God's pussy with the world.
Amen, I intend to.
Ooh, how about some
more brother Ray?
Ah.
Ah.
Oh, my God.
How did we get here?
Hmm.
10,000.
Hold your horses.
Yeah, we have harvests
coming in all the time.
This is a lot of work.
It's all automated, Dev.
Yeah, still.
Yeah, I'm really happy
with this trident this year,
isn't it beautiful?
You got a little
yellowing, but yeah, very nice.
Great.
Hey, Dev, I, uh,
heard about the letter.
Hmm.
I saw it in the paper.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, you want to follow
me, I got it ready to pack.
What?
Mike says we can't work
with you anymore, Devi.
Okay, what?
What...
Why?
Your name's in
the newspaper, Dev.
Oh.
Come on.
Just bullshit, it
doesn't mean anything.
Well, Mike's a little
bit paranoid, so-
- I, I, one last deal.
Sorry, Dev.
You can't talk to him for me?
Mike says you're done,
there ain't nothing I can do.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Can you do it?
- Yeah.
Yeah, you almost had it.
- Hey.
- Hey, hey.
Okay, so we're gonna start
with little pep talk.
What a great job
you've all done,
you've come a long
way for a season
never would know.
The rookie thing is gone.
And I appreciate it, okay.
We got some kick ass weed,
I think, to take the market.
And some years you have
good crop and bad business,
and that's what
we're facing here.
We've got all this
government crack down shit
and, uh, all these
permits and applications
and it's, like, bleeding me dry.
So, what does it mean for us?
Well, I have a proposal for
a different pay structure.
Right now we get paid at
the end of every week,
and I'm proposing that
we would take a lump sum
at the end of the season.
And if you agree to this,
then there'll be
significant bonus attached.
And what if we don't?
Then I don't know how
were going to make it.
I've been doing
this a long time,
I've never left anybody
in the lurch on money.
I know.
But if you cannot then I
will pay you off through today,
and I'll have to find somebody
else to take your place.
So, did I lose everybody?
No, they're not leaving.
I talked to them.
God, it's beautiful.
Hmm.
This you've built here.
Yeah.
It's fucking beautiful.
You know what?
Well, I'm going to get
another one, you want one?
I'm good.
Do some damage.
Don't worry Dev, we got this.
Oh.
Oops!
- You are so-
- It wasn't me, I swear.
You're cut off dude.
Come on.
You are really fucked up.
What?
I think I hurt my back.
Great.
Shit!
Hmm, it's good.
Dev,
I want to help you.
I'm sorry, I'm just
trying to help.
I'm going to be sick.
Don't tell anybody about this.
I think I need to lay down.
Yeah.
I'm going to
lay down just a minute.
Yeah.
Okay, Josh, I got you a
hot water bottle here.
When you go back
to your trailer,
you just get it into bed with
you when you go to sleep.
Oh boy.
Josh.
Josh?
Hmm.
Wake up.
Hmm.
Wake up.
Come on.
Hmm.
Come on, get up.
Can I just stay here?
No.
Hmm.
Come on buddy, come on.
Get up.
I'm up, I'm up,
I'm up, I'm up.
- Oh.
- I'm up.
- Up.
- I'm up.
Come on.
There you go.
Okay.
Here, I got you
a hot water bottle.
Fuck.
I know, I know.
Forward, just come on.
Ah, geez.
Come on.
Here.
Take care of your back,
you put it against
your back in bed, okay.
Hey, hey.
Are you okay?
You need some help?
No, I got it.
So, do we need to talk?
I don't think so, why?
Dammit.
What's up?
No, no.
So that's it?
Okay, we good then?
Yeah, we're good.
Hey, Buddha.
Hey,
Dev, how are you?
I am good, how
the heck are you?
Good.
It's been a while.
Uh, yeah.
You grew that beard back.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, just got
tired of shaving.
That girlfriend must
be gone now, right?
Yeah, thanks for
reminding me of that.
I'm sorry,
I didn't, I didn't,
I did not mean to.
I did just remember
it as a funny story.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So, how are the folks?
Uh-huh, they're great.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, they're really good.
Are they home?
No, you know, they're, uh,
they're off traveling, you know.
No, I did not know.
Yeah, they're, uh, they're
in Australia right now.
Oh my God, how cool.
Yeah, yeah, I finally
talked them into it,
you know, enjoy the fruits
of your, uh, labors.
Yeah.
You know, let me take,
take it off your hands.
That's great that
they trusted you.
You were ready, you know?
Uh, yeah.
It's a big job, look
what you've done here.
Oh, yeah, no, there's
a lot of changes.
This is crazy, I mean,
I would not have
recognized the place.
Everything is all like, right.
Well, it's
been a while since,
uh, it's been a while
since you've been up here.
It is, yeah.
But, you know, yeah.
Give me a tour?
Yeah, yeah, let
me show you around.
We moved that pond, like I said,
it was over there
if you remember.
Yeah, what did
that set you back?
Uh, well, it wasn't
pretty, but, um-
- Yeah I know.
We had to,
in the end it, you know,
in the end it made sense.
Yeah, it does, it, it does.
And now it's a real
working venture.
- Sure.
- You know.
So nice seeing the
place looks so good.
Thanks Dev.
Yeah, a lot of work.
Yeah, I'm sure you did.
I'll say
it's, uh, paying off.
Well, when you finally
hear from your parents
tell them I said, "Hi."
Of course, I will, I will.
Yeah, I'm sorry you missed them.
Yeah, I'm not a good
communicator lately, my...
So listen, do you
ever get any calls
from any of the guys back
East looking for product?
The reason I'm asking is,
I'm having a little
trouble moving mine
and it is a really
special strain this year.
And I wondered if you
might know anybody
you could hook me up with.
Uh-
- I could give
you a really good price.
Uh, well, uh...
Well, Devi...
Look, I have to be honest, um,
I mean even if I could
help you, I can't.
I really can't, there's,
I mean, I gotta
prove all my product
is coming from legal source.
Um, but if I could...
Look, I just,
I mean, some of us are
working really hard
and putting up a lot of money
to make this transition,
and it's kind of unfair if,
uh, some other people
aren't following
that same rules, you know.
Yeah, I wasn't asking
you to move my product.
I was asking if you knew anyone
who could move my product.
No, come
on, I'm not trying to-
- No, no, no-
- Be an asshole
about it, I just-
- It's all good.
Well, if I hear of
anything I'll let you know.
It'll be all gone by then.
Uh.
Well,
it's good to see you.
You too.
Okay, what's up?
So, you know how
we were talking about
- school the other day?
- Yeah.
I was just looking
stuff up online
and I need to register
for classes really soon.
Cool, you should do that.
I also have to pay
tuition when I do that.
Oh.
I have it all lined out,
it's just taking a little
longer than usual, okay?
Okay, okay.
So fucked up.
Oh man, we
can.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, is Canyon gonna come out
and help you with all this?
My son-in-law is
flying in next week
and, uh, we'll rent a truck
and drive together
cross country,
with the rest of my stuff.
That'll be that.
Anyway, I appreciate
you doing this with me.
I really want to see the
old commune one last time.
A bunch of abandoned
buildings full of rat shit.
Yeah, well, you
know what though?
I was never as happy as I was
when we lived there,
honest to God.
Those first few years,
all of us together,
in that big house.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
We promise to live in
community, to protect the land,
to be open to ourselves
and each other.
Oh, my God.
The rules.
We were just kids,
babies.
What a view, huh?
Well, it's going
to be right here,
and so am I.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you, too.
Do not.
Can I kill it?
Got a little splash.
You got to
put it in the fridge.
Yes, you got it.
Fantastic.
This is just the good stuff
I was telling you about.
Still got that salsa too?
We're sorry, the propane
was out at the trailers.
We're going to cook if
you want to join us?
It's chicken.
She's not going to,
let us eat, right?
No.
That's exactly
what she's doing.
She's a little gnome
in that fucking room
and she's hiding
in a little corner.
She's drinking herself
to sleep saying,
"Oh, I'm so alone.
Oh, I'm so alone."
It's a fucking joke!
It's a fucking joke!
Got the moves, you got the
moves, you got the moves.
All right.
We got to be there
after nine, right?
I've got a really
incredible strain this year.
It's the year I'm going
legal, so timing is wonderful.
If you have a good
distributor that you know,
I'm in the market, thanks.
Hi, I'm Devi.
32 years in the business,
I'm going legal.
Looking for a good
distributor, move my strains.
They're pretty special,
we even up in Humboldt.
Here's how to contact me.
- Hey.
- Hey, good to see you.
- Nice.
- Had to do it.
Um, because I'm seeing a lot
of clients who are saying,
you know, "I have
this registration,
I have this trademark.
Clearly my brand,
because I have a farm,
is worth $100 million."
Right.
And they're,
that's inaccurate.
So, so, I think there's
something really interesting
that could be happening
in the cooperative
model, right now.
Right, um,
yeah, I think this is going
to be one of the biggest
grassroots industries
in the recent history
of the United States.
Yeah, just look
at the growth of, 500-
Hey, what's funny?
What?
We're just chilling.
Seems like something is
really funny going on here?
Let me see your phone!
- Give me your phone!
- Yo, yo.
- Give me your phone!
- Hey, hey!
Calm the fuck down.
What so funny?
What do you mean what's funny?
You were laughing,
what are you laughing at?
I'm fucking laughing
at this fucking asshole.
Been having a lot
of good laughs at me.
What are
you talking about?
Okay, you know what?
I got one for you, you're fired.
What?
You're fired.
What the fuck did I do?
You know very
well what you did.
I, no, I don't Dev.
- And you know what?
- It's a little-
- You're fired too.
- Dev.
This, this, this is
so fucked right now.
Dev, this is fucked.
You need to pack up and I
want you out of here tonight.
We didn't do anything,
you're the one who's
fucking holding out on us.
30 years I've
been in the business
and I've never
ripped anybody off,
okay, and while I'm out in there
trying to figure the fuck out
so I can pay you little shits,
you are fucking pranking me!
And, and
you are, and you are-
- You're pranking me!
And you are lying to us!
You lied to us, and all we
did was call you out on it.
I want you out of here.
Dev, will you
calm the fuck down?
No!
It's a
fucking joke, come on.
- Get out!
- It was a fucking-
- Get out.
Dev, calm down
and just go back to-
- Get out!
Get out!
Fuck.
Who needs a fucking drink?
Whoo!
Hey, is
everything okay?
Huh?
Is everything okay?
Yeah,
everything's fine.
Case, come on bud,
have a drink with me.
It's too far, Josh.
What is too far?
Ain't nothing too far.
Why are you upset?
Dude, do not listen to her.
You understand me?
We're fine, everything's fine.
Let's say that she meant
what she said, right,
then it's a win-win
for you and me.
You're going to Kuwait
my friend, right?
Go to Kuwait and
me, I'm going to go,
I'm going to go out
to fucking Seattle.
I say, I say we make
a toast to freedom.
Here's to being a free man.
Holy shit, Josh.
Get out.
Dev?
Get out.
Dev, you have a loaded
gun pointed at me.
What are you doing here?
Devi, let's talk about
this very calmly.
You're very upset and I
think we should talk, okay?
I'm right here in front of you,
and Casey, I mean,
he has nothing to do-
Okay!
Fuck.
Case, start the truck.
I'm going to grab
the keys, okay, Dev.
Mara?
No, Mara?
Mara?
Mara.
Mara wait.
- I'm going.
- Mara, please wait.
Would you take this?
Just take it.
I don't want it.
It's worth a lot, Mara.
No, it isn't.
