In Sickness (2015) - full transcript
After you take your vows, what happens when the future is nothing like what you envisioned? As a man spirals deeper and deeper into his mental illness, his young wife is forced to question whether love really is enough.
Good afternoon, everyone.
For those who are new here
I'm Michelle.
Think we can get started.
To let anyone new know
we want you to feel comfortable here.
We know how hard it already is for you.
You can sit and listen
but know that talking about it
is what helps you gain a clearer sense
of what you're dealing with.
So, then, who would like to begin?
We haven't seen you here before.
It's very fearless of you to stand up right away.
And what is your name?
- Kendall.
Um.
We've been together for two years.
And his, um, father passed away recently
a month ago, actually.
And since then
[ Soft music playing ]
all the little things that I try to put
out of my head
they kind of just exploded.
[ Birds calling ]
It's just a hard one.
[ Soft music playing ]
It's...
It's just hard when you love somebody and
they become so different.
Why are you here Kendall?
Because I love him.
I want to make things work again.
[ Soft music continues ]
That's it..
Thank you.
[ Music builds deeper ]
Andrew?
Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey!
[ Kiss sound ]
I got it.
Thank you. - You're welcome, baby.
How you doing?
- Ah, it's a lot of work.
- How's your anxiety?
- Fine.
- Did you take your pills?
- Yes.
- Just checking.
[ People chattering in the background ]
So, what - did - the doctor say?
How is he?
[ Sigh ]
Oh baby I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
Thanks for coming though.
-Of course, you don't have to thank me baby, I'm sorry.
-This is the last option. Palliative care.
That's what we're going to do.
I'm very sorry.
- Thank you.
[ Footsteps ]
Oh God, I'm so sorry baby.
[ Sigh ]
[ Hospital chatter and beeps ]
[ Sounds of distress ]
[ Whispering ]
I know.

- So, sorry.
- For what Dad? You haven't done anything.
I brought you your hat Dad.
[ Deep Music ]
- And they call me angel.
[ Laughter ]
- Are you comfortable?
- As comfortable as death will have me.
[ Sounds of distress ]
[ Hospital chatter and beeps ]
You should have seen me in my prime Kendall.
I was an Ox.
[ Chuckling ]
And that's something worth painting huh?
-Angel, there's still plenty of time to do a painting if you want?
-My time has come and gone.
[ Deep Music continues ]
Time...only matters in your memory, baby girl.
[ Deep Music continues ]
When you look back, you
make sure that your moments are
filled with love and happiness.
[ Hospital sounds ]
Take care of him Kendall.
I'm gonna have you out of here soon Dad.
Perhaps
[ Coughing ]
You're alright Dad? get some water, get some water.
[ Coughing, choking ]
[ Water running ]
[ Heavy breathing ]
Kendall?
[ Hospital sounds ]
Please.
Please take care of him.
- Don't worry. he's stuck with me.
[ Deep Music continues ]
- Some water.
[ Deep Music continues ]
That's good.
[ Hospital sounds ] [ Gasping ]
[ Intercom: Dr Bender ]
- I'm really excited.
I've been speaking to the gallery in town
and they're more than happy to show some of your work.
I really think this is a great opportunity
for you. I know I can sell it. If you just let me.
[ Restaurant sounds, Piano music ]
I'm starving. What are you getting, babe?
- I don't know...
[ Restaurant sounds, Piano music ]
- When I have trouble deciding I usually close my eyes
and drop my finger.
It helps make a decision.
[ Restaurant sounds, soft music ]
It feels like you're not here.
What's up?
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
- Work...
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
Andrew and his dad, just the whole thing.
- But you guys are okay, right?
- Yeah, no, we're okay.
[ Restaurant sounds ]
Just scared.
- Scared of what? You have each other.
- I know.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
I don't know, I just...
Feel like he could like completely come
undone at any minute because of all this.
And I'm like,
I'm just worried I'm not going to know how to fix him.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
- You'd be surprised at what a woman is capable of.
I know you have it in you.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
- Thanks.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
How's Anthony?
- He's terrific.
- That's good.
- Can I get you guys something to drink to start?
- Oh yes, please.
Lots of drinks to start and to finish.
[ Hospital sounds ]
- Andy?
Andy?
- Hey.
Hey Dad.
- What are you doing here?
You should be home with Kendall.
[ Hospital sounds ]
- You need anything?
[ Sounds of distress ]
Dad I was thinking...
Can't remember Mom.
[ Hospital sounds ]
is there-
What do you see when you think of her?
[ Hospital sounds ]
- in the garden?
- The garden?
She killed everything she planted.
[ Chuckling ]
But she loved that garden.
[ Hospital sounds ]
- Anything else?
[ Birds chirping ]
- You know
Kendall reminds me of her.
- Yeah?
When you took, you took up Paris so fast.
I was upset,
- I know.
- But you know, I understood
why my mother was mad at me.
You come home belonging to somebody else.
You, you found
Equally as wonderful.
[ Hospital sounds ]
You know
Sometimes we forget to fight for what we love.
- Yeah I know Dad.
Yeah, sure.
- Andy
Listen to me.
No matter what anybody tells you, doctors
- Dad.
- Anybody! Listen to me. So you don't
let anybody take control, keep control of your own life.
- I know.
I know, I understand.
[ Deep music builds ]
[ Deep breaths ]
[ Music continues ]
- Kendall!
- Down here!
[ Music fades ]
Hi...... Hey
[ Kiss sound ]
How's Daddy?
How are you doing? How are you painting?
-Oooo I'm just sitting and thinking about stuff.
- Uh oh
Thinking about?
- I was thinking that, uh,
I don't need to be working anymore.
- What?
- I think I should go back to painting full time.
[ Mumbling ]
you don't think so.
- I think someone has been talking to Hailey.
- No umm
I have been thinking about this. I've been
thinking about it for awhile and you're doing so well at work.
I thought that this would be a good time.
Yeah.
- Maybe?
- Maybe?
- Maybe you're right.
I mean, I think you're really talented and I want you to
have everything you set out to have.
- Really?
- Really, yes.
Wow. That is very good because
I just quit my job today.
- Oh no.
- Surprise!
- No, Kendall you didn't-
- No I quit my job today, yeah I quit.
- Kendall?
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
- You're insane.
Why didn't you talk to me about it first?
- I'm talking to you about it now.
I'm sorry it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be fun
I promise, I promise, I promise.
- You know you better start.
No, no. Go paint!
Go paint go paint!
- No wait!
I don't give a fuck where they think the numbers are.
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
I set the bottom line and that's what it is.
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
Exactly. If they can't wrap their head around it I'm out.
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
Wait.
Can you hang on a second?
I got a call.
Rob I'm on the other line.
I know. I'll see you at the hospital it's fine.
[ Deep music emerges ]
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
[ Deep music continues, heart beating, Hospital sounds ]
[ Flatlining sound ]
- Andrew?!
- Kendall..
I wasn't there for him.
[ Sad music ]
- A few times I met him
the old man was a pisser that's for sure.
- Anthony...
- Honey he was a piece of work.
- Stop it.
[ Footsteps ]
Who's that?
- Jack Palmer
[ Lighter clicking ]
-Wow Kendall still smoking weed.
I guess some things never change.
- Yeah well, sometimes I need to fall back on some old habits.
- I think we all do.
[ Busy town, Car sounds ]
- Hi, what are you doing here?
- I heard angel passed away. So I wanted
to come pay my respects to him and to you.

[ Soft, sad music ]
- Woah

- Well, look at it.
Nothing like the glory days.
- Where's the bartender?
- So how are you doing, bro?
- I'm good.
Going back to work tomorrow.
- You sure?
- Do I look unsure?
- I don't know Andrew.
It's only been a few days.
And grieving is normal.
Everybody gets it.
- I'm done grieving alright? I'm done being around the house and done sleeping in. I'm done being around Kendal
all day.
I feel like I'm under the microscope
with her. Alright. I'm done being stuck inside my own head.
- Just trying
to handle it.
- Yeah. Well, thank you. I just want
to get out, where's the bartender.
- Listen, I get it.
You're going through a lot.
I do. Come here.
Look at me. Do not force it.
Do not overdo it.

[ Phone ringing outgoing ]
[ Phone busy sound ]
[ Redial tone, phone ringing outgoing ]
[ Knocking on door ]
Come in.
Hello, Mrs. Madera
- Dr Poslow
- Hi.. Please come in, have a seat.
Hi, it's lovely to finally meet you. Andrew has
told me so much about you.
I wish I could say the same.
Well, I am Andrew's psychiatrist, uh, and I would have hoped he'd spoken to you much sooner about his visits But I suppose it's better, late than never.
- Uh, we're still living in never.
- What do you mean?
- Andrew hasn't told me anything about you or
your meetings
Uh, I came to your office because I found
your number on his anxiety medication.
- Uh, is everything okay?
- Not really. Um, Andrew had a really weird, severe,
uh, episode at work today.
- Uh huh
- Um, I've never seen him like that. I was wondering
if maybe his anxiety is just forced because his, his father
passed away recently and maybe there's
something wrong with his medication that's not quite right or something.
- Uh huh
Well, what exactly happen today?
- Uh, I don't really know exactly.
Um, he, he attacked one of his coworkers.
I don't know why.
Um, he was acting
paranoid and hallucinating.
He, he wasn't making any sense.
I didn't understand what was happening to him.
- Well, that definitely sounds more serious than anxiety.
- Yeah, I thought so too.
What are you.. do you? What do you think it was?
- Oh boy
- Mrs. Madera? I'm really not at liberty to say. There's a doctor patient privilege at work here and without Andrew's consent
or legal necessity, I'm kind of setting.
- But I'm his wife.
- I understand that.
Um, it could be any number of factors.
His father passing, like you said, could definitely have triggered depression
high stress scenarios, bipolar disorder, even schizophrenia,
but he needs further testing.
He needs a complete medical evaluation
before we can even talk about about proper treatment.
[ Revealing music ]
- Uh.
[ Music continues ]
Sorry.
- No, please take your time.
- Okay.
What do I, what do I do?
What can I do?
What can we do?
- Well, you know, it's not really about what you
can do or what I can do or what we can do.
It's about what Andrew will allow us to do.
He has to want help before we can even approach a treatment plan or getting proper medications.
That's the first major step.
[ Music continues ]
- Okay. Um
I guess that's all you can tell me.
- Yeah I'm sorry.
- Um, okay.
I didn't tell Andrew that I was coming here, so don't.
- Oh, no, no, no, I wouldn't.
Um, but it may be a good idea if you
did talk about it with him.
Now.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
- You're welcome
Call me if you need anything.
- I will.
It was to meet you.
- Likewise
Have a good day.
You too.
[ Music fades out ]
[ Pencil scribbling ]
[ Dark sounds ]
[ Gentle knocking at door ]
[ Strange mumbling voices ]
[ Door opens then footsteps ]
- Where were you?
- Jesus God baby you scared me.
- I asked you a question
- I just had to get out.
- Out where?
- Driving.
Just went driving.
- Don't lie to me Kendall
I'm not an idiot I know what you're doing
- What are you talking about?
The truth?
Can I trust you to give me the truth again?
Lying is
a really difficult thing
to follow.
So what is the word of truth?
Please give it to me. What is that?
[ Sinister voices in his head, Dark sounds ]
The voices telling me that you don't know the truth.
You stay there.
[ Sinister voices mumbling ]
[ Dark music ]
[ Sinister voice ]
[ Body drop ]
[ Dark music, Sinister voice singing ]
- Your wife came to see me yesterday.
- How haven't you told me?
- Would you be comfortable if I discussed
our sessions with her?
- I'm sure you have already.
- Well, not in any detail, but she genuinely
seems to care and want to help you.
- How come you didn't tell her you were seeing a psychiatrist?
- Why would I?
- What do you mean?
- My business? Not hers.
- How are you feeling since your father passed?
How are you dealing with that?
- Fine. Fine.
- Good.
You taking your meds?
- I am taking all the pills, working.
- Good. Good. You feel as though they're working?
- Yes, they are.
- Oh, that's great.
Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?
- No.
Okay.
- Well, let me ask you a question.
What is it that you really enjoy doing Andrew?
- Fucking.
- What is it about sex?
- I didn't say sex. I said fucking fucking my wife.
I enjoy fucking my wife doctor.
- Understood.
- Yeah.
- Can we see each other again next week?
- Yeah, I'll call you.
-Yeah, good, please do.
- And you will, uh, tell, Kendall let, uh, we're good. I'm good. And I'm taking the pills.
- I will, I will indeed.
And, uh, please call me.
- I will do that.
- You can see Sandy on the way out and
we'll see you next week.
- Yes.
- Have a good week.
- Yeah you too doctor
[ Pen scribbling ]
[ Water running ]
[ Heavy breathing ]
[ Disturbing sounds ]
[ Sinister voices ]
Kendall baby
[ Sinister voices overpower their words ]
Okay.
[ Sinister voices overpower their words ]
Honey it's not real, Okay it's not real.
[ Dark sounds ]
It's not real
[ Dark sounds fade out ]
[ Sad music ]
[ Giggling ]
- Rob?
Oh my God.
- What the hell?
- Sorry.
- Kendall. Are you serious?
- Sorry.
- Kendall. You can't just barge into the house like this.
- Rob, I'm sorry.
- I'm really sorry. That was weird.
I need to talk to you about Andrew
- What's going on?
- Yesterday, I came home and I found him sitting in the
stairwell naked and shaking and crying.
I don't know what the fuck is going on.
- Okay.
- There's something wrong with him. I don't know what to do, and I want to know the truth.
He won't tell me anything I'm asking for your
help right now.
- I'm just going to go.
- Sit, please.
- Okay. I'm sorry. I'll call you later. Okay.
- Okay.
[ Drink pouring into glass ]
- Thanks.
- It will take the edge off.
What I'm about to say.
It's not going to be easy to hear.
[ Dark music ]
Okay?
[ Dark music continues ]
When Andrew was a child.
He was molested by his babysitter and her husband.
[ Disturbing sounds ]
Angel came home one day to pick him up.
knocks on the door. No answer.
He steps inside.
He calls out for Drew...for the babysitter. Still no answer.
[ Disturbing sounds ]
Eventually....he makes his way into the
basement... where he finds Drew.
Lying on the floor
Damn near half naked.
He finds his son curled up in a fetal position, lying on the floor of some basement.
And no one's in sight
He scoops him up, he takes him home.
Now, five months later
They find this bitch in a grocery store
shopping with, I guess her then boyfriend.
And Andrew.
Has to testify in court.
Explain every single detail.
[ Sad music ]
- I can't believe I never knew.
- How could you?
Just try an imagine telling the person
that you love?
More than life itself.
[ Sad music ]
It can't be easy.
[ Sad music continues ]
Andrew is lost.
He's scared.
He's alone.
He's that little kid again.
- Just to be clear, you two haven't been
together very long, have you?
- No
- Well, you need to realize that people with certain mental
illnesses strongly resist treatment.
and Andrew's results show that his ventricles are slightly larger than average.
And he was demonstrating abnormal glutamine and dopamine levels, which I suspect was because he wasn't taken away.
- Right I don't understand what you're telling me.
What do you mean certain mental illnesses?
What's wrong with him?
- I think he has a variation of schizophrenia
[ Haunting sound ]
- No
- No, his dad just died.
- I know
[ Haunting sounds ]
- His dad just died.
- Well, maybe.
But I'm going to give you some information here about a
support group for families who are dealing with schizophrenia
and you should really take your time with this.
Do your homework, find out what you
both might be facing.
This support group could be the key to his recovery
and they can really help you dive deeper.
- I'm sorry about what happened.
- It's family, you know, same shit, different dilemma.
- Yeah.
I still enjoyed us.
- Really I'll remember to lock the
frigging door next time
- Can I have a scotch please.
- Oh, there he is. Fashionably late as always.
What's that?
- Drugs, Kendall and Dr. Poslow want me to take.
- What kind of drugs?
Let me see.
[ Restaurant crowd sounds ]
What kind of drugs are these?
- It doesn't matter. I'm not taking them.
Thank you.
[ Restaurant crowd sounds ]
- Hey, listen to me.
- Another please
- You realize these are anti-psychotics right?
- I'm not taking them.
- That's why you shouldn't be drinking.
[ Restaurant crowd sounds ]
Here.... Water, please.....
take your fucking meds.
- I'm not taking the medication.
- Dude. You're not drinking.
- I'm not taking the medication!
- What the hell is wrong with you? [ Phone rings ]
- Answer that
Is that Kendall?
- No, it's not Kendall.
- Is she calling from his house. Is she calling from Jack's house is she?
- What, what are you talking about?
You're not
making-
- Can I have that scotch!
- No offense, but I will not serve you any more drinks.
- Why not?
Oh, is my money not good enough for you, huh? Huh? You think I'm sick. Don't you think I'm fucking sick.
- Bro. What is going
on with you?
- Is there a problem here guys?
- Mind your own business
- Take your piss beer and mind your own fucking business.
Like my cousin said.
- I got this.
I got, I got it.
Cool off
Alright.
- Robbie you're the family, right?
- I am.
- This is coming. It's coming around again. It's coming.
It's coming.
- Okay. You're not making sense right now
- Yes, I am.
So we're going as you and I needed you the family and then dad was there. Right. And like, hush hush, don't talk about it.
Don't talk about it because no one can know this happened.
So when everything's been surrounded, it comes into
focus right here, here. It's a matter of you being a
fucking selfish prick, staying in dad's house, using all his shit,
and then you go tell Kendall what happened that day.
You told Kendall?
- Alright.
- That is she is my wife.
Not yours.
Not that asshole Jack's wife!
Alright.
What's he doing here? What the fuck is he doing here?
Get the fuck away from me!
Hey, well fuck him!
Woahhh Chill out. There's no one there.
Fucking chill out! Drew!
Oh my God.
Um, Babs, I gotta go. I'm sorry.
[ Heavy breathing ]
[ Mumbling: what is she doing? ]
[ Sad music ]
[ Doors slam open ]
What are you doing?
- Andrew what are you doing?
- Kendall?
- Andrew? Come here.
- You don't trust your husband anymore?
- Honey
- You're talking to these people about your husband, huh?
Huh?
- No.
How your poor husband is treating you so poorly.
There's circles of trust circles of a friend circles.
We should build sand castles
and
- Andrew
- And washes it away in the intergalactic space.
travel of it all I'm telling you right now, where is he?
Is he hiding in here?
He's hiding like a bat in the attic, huh?
Bat in the Belfry cat on the mat that leather and lace
- Sir you have to leave.
Please get out now.
- Don't you fucking touch me, Jack?!
- Hey!
- Jack.
- Hey.
Hi.
Okay.
Okay.
Calm down.

- I'm not.
- I saw brain scans. I saw blood tests. You've been
sick for months. You've known it.
- People are trying to make me sick.
- No, honey, you hurt Anthony. You, you attack
that guy in support group.
You need help.
- Or else what?
- I don't know.
- You don't know.
You're going to leave me?
- We can't be together if you're not
going to take anybody's help.
- I always knew you still loved Jack.
- Oh fuck.
- I saw you at dad's funeral.
- Oh my God.
- Flirting, smoking a joint in the parking lot.
- You know, that wasn't anything
- And I'm the sick one.
[ Car screeching, Panic roars, Disturbing sounds ]
[ Haunting sounds continue ]
- What's wrong with you! Get the fuck out of my car!
Get the fuck outta my car! Get out! Get out!
[ Car screeching ]
I'm so scared Hailey.
- Do you think he's coming back?
- Part of me does and part of me, doesn't.
[ Soft music ]
The fucked up thing is part of me
wants both those things.
[ Soft music continues ]
- I'm not judging you.
I know you love him.
- I do I do, but.
He scares me. I don't feel safe.
- You have every right to feel safe with
the person you're with.
[ Soft music continues ]
- Thank you for staying with me.
- Better news.
I spoke with the, uh, the woman at the art gallery.
- Oh my God Hailey I can not
deal with that right now.
- Stop it.
You need this. You need to find work.
It has to be about you right now.
You got to find what makes you happy?
Your painting makes you happy.
You're ready.
You need this.
I'm here for you.

[ Raining ]
Kendall?
I still think
about it.
[ Lighthearted music, Rain sounds ]
- Really?
- Kendall, I've made mistakes in my life,
letting you go...
That was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
[ Lighthearted music, Rain sounds ]
- I don't know what to say.
[ Lighthearted music, Rain sounds ]
- You loved me once. You did. I
was there, it was real.
[ Lighthearted music, Rain sounds ]
I guess what I'm trying to say that, I want that back again.
And I know there's a part of you that wants that too.
- No... no Jack. No
- I mean, why do you keep torturing yourself?
Everybody sees this, but you,
I'm sorry, your marriage, it's over.
Okay. Andrew is sick. He's never getting better again.

Hello everyone. Thank you all for coming out tonight
and supporting the arts.
My name is Hailey Denton
and I am the manager for tonight's aspiring beautiful artists with no further ado.
I'd like to introduce my friend.
She's beautiful inside and out, Ms. Kendall Warner.
[ Applause ]
- Hi everyone. I'm Kendall.
Um
I guess first I would just now like to take a
moment to thank you all so much for coming out
this evening to support the art.
Um
[ Deep music begins ]
these last few months
have been, uh, very eventful....for me.
And, um, I think that's reflected in my work.
Um, uh, sorry.
Uh, that's it, um, have a good time.
Uh, enjoy yourselves. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thanks.
[ Applause ]
- Hey
- Hi
What are you doing here?
- I was released today, especially
- I mean what are you doing here.
- Just support you and your show.
I'm so proud of you, Kendall.
It's amazing.
- Thanks
Andrew I don't think you understand, what you put me through.
What do you want for me?
- I want you, Kendall I want us.
Hear me out
I'm schizophrenia.
I think my mother was too. I used to hear
the word thrown around the house, but dad
never wanted to talk about it.
In my early twenties. I started to hear voices. I started to see things.
I was given medication for anxiety.
Supposedly, most of the time I was fine. Most of the
time I didn't need it
but one time they came out, they
came back.
The people
Voices, every everything. And I...
went to dad and the last thing he said to me in the
hospital was don't let them control you.
The doctors and I listened to him.
I threw out my medication, my pills, and
I became sick, sicker and sicker Kendall.
I didn't know how to get out of it.
So whatever you decide today Kendall,
whatever you decide.
If you stay with me, don't stay
because of my sickness stay despite of it.
[ Moving music ]
I love you.
- I love you too.
[ Moving music ]
Sometimes love isn't enough.
[ Moving music ]
- Sometimes love is not enough...
[ Moving music ]
[ Birds chirping ]
- So then, who would like to begin?
Go ahead, Kendall.
- Thanks Michelle.
- Why are you here Kendall?
- The eternal question.
Um
I don't know why I'm here.
Maybe
Maybe to figure out what's next.
[ Moving music ]
Just don't.
[ Moving music ]
Everything was so amazing at first.
It was the 4th of July and we were
together and we just decided to do it.
We just ran off together.
He couldn't afford a ring so he just gave me this bracelet
like an idiot, I accepted it.
[ Moving music ]
I don't know
I feel like
I feel like sometimes you just got to do
that though. You know, you just go and say, fuck it.
I didn't know.
- Kendall? Who is he to you now?
For those who are new here
I'm Michelle.
Think we can get started.
To let anyone new know
we want you to feel comfortable here.
We know how hard it already is for you.
You can sit and listen
but know that talking about it
is what helps you gain a clearer sense
of what you're dealing with.
So, then, who would like to begin?
We haven't seen you here before.
It's very fearless of you to stand up right away.
And what is your name?
- Kendall.
Um.
We've been together for two years.
And his, um, father passed away recently
a month ago, actually.
And since then
[ Soft music playing ]
all the little things that I try to put
out of my head
they kind of just exploded.
[ Birds calling ]
It's just a hard one.
[ Soft music playing ]
It's...
It's just hard when you love somebody and
they become so different.
Why are you here Kendall?
Because I love him.
I want to make things work again.
[ Soft music continues ]
That's it..
Thank you.
[ Music builds deeper ]
Andrew?
Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey!
[ Kiss sound ]

Thank you. - You're welcome, baby.
How you doing?
- Ah, it's a lot of work.
- How's your anxiety?
- Fine.
- Did you take your pills?
- Yes.
- Just checking.
[ People chattering in the background ]
So, what - did - the doctor say?
How is he?
[ Sigh ]
Oh baby I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
Thanks for coming though.
-Of course, you don't have to thank me baby, I'm sorry.
-This is the last option. Palliative care.
That's what we're going to do.
I'm very sorry.
- Thank you.
[ Footsteps ]
Oh God, I'm so sorry baby.
[ Sigh ]
[ Hospital chatter and beeps ]
[ Sounds of distress ]
[ Whispering ]

- For what Dad? You haven't done anything.
I brought you your hat Dad.
[ Deep Music ]
- And they call me angel.
[ Laughter ]
- Are you comfortable?
- As comfortable as death will have me.
[ Sounds of distress ]
[ Hospital chatter and beeps ]
You should have seen me in my prime Kendall.
I was an Ox.
[ Chuckling ]
And that's something worth painting huh?
-Angel, there's still plenty of time to do a painting if you want?
-My time has come and gone.
[ Deep Music continues ]
Time...only matters in your memory, baby girl.
[ Deep Music continues ]
When you look back, you
make sure that your moments are
filled with love and happiness.
[ Hospital sounds ]
Take care of him Kendall.
I'm gonna have you out of here soon Dad.
Perhaps

[ Coughing, choking ]
[ Water running ]
[ Heavy breathing ]
Kendall?
[ Hospital sounds ]

That's good.
[ Hospital sounds ] [ Gasping ]
[ Intercom: Dr Bender ]
- I'm really excited.
I've been speaking to the gallery in town
and they're more than happy to show some of your work.
I really think this is a great opportunity
for you. I know I can sell it. If you just let me.
[ Restaurant sounds, Piano music ]
I'm starving. What are you getting, babe?
- I don't know...
[ Restaurant sounds, Piano music ]
- When I have trouble deciding I usually close my eyes
and drop my finger.
It helps make a decision.
[ Restaurant sounds, soft music ]
It feels like you're not here.
What's up?
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
- Work...
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
Andrew and his dad, just the whole thing.
- But you guys are okay, right?
- Yeah, no, we're okay.
[ Restaurant sounds ]
Just scared.
- Scared of what? You have each other.
- I know.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
I don't know, I just...
Feel like he could like completely come
undone at any minute because of all this.
And I'm like,
I'm just worried I'm not going to know how to fix him.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
- You'd be surprised at what a woman is capable of.
I know you have it in you.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
- Thanks.
[ Restaurant sounds, music building ]
How's Anthony?
- He's terrific.
- That's good.
- Can I get you guys something to drink to start?
- Oh yes, please.
Lots of drinks to start and to finish.
[ Hospital sounds ]
- Andy?
Andy?
- Hey.
Hey Dad.
- What are you doing here?
You should be home with Kendall.
[ Hospital sounds ]
- You need anything?
[ Sounds of distress ]
Dad I was thinking...
Can't remember Mom.
[ Hospital sounds ]
is there-
What do you see when you think of her?
[ Hospital sounds ]
- in the garden?
- The garden?
She killed everything she planted.
[ Chuckling ]
But she loved that garden.
[ Hospital sounds ]
- Anything else?
[ Birds chirping ]
- You know
Kendall reminds me of her.
- Yeah?
When you took, you took up Paris so fast.
I was upset,
- I know.
- But you know, I understood
why my mother was mad at me.
You come home belonging to somebody else.
You, you found
Equally as wonderful.
[ Hospital sounds ]
You know
Sometimes we forget to fight for what we love.
- Yeah I know Dad.
Yeah, sure.
- Andy
Listen to me.
No matter what anybody tells you, doctors
- Dad.
- Anybody! Listen to me. So you don't
let anybody take control, keep control of your own life.
- I know.
I know, I understand.
[ Deep music builds ]
[ Deep breaths ]
[ Music continues ]
- Kendall!
- Down here!
[ Music fades ]
Hi...... Hey
[ Kiss sound ]
How's Daddy?
How are you doing? How are you painting?
-Oooo I'm just sitting and thinking about stuff.
- Uh oh
Thinking about?
- I was thinking that, uh,
I don't need to be working anymore.
- What?
- I think I should go back to painting full time.
[ Mumbling ]
you don't think so.
- I think someone has been talking to Hailey.
- No umm
I have been thinking about this. I've been
thinking about it for awhile and you're doing so well at work.
I thought that this would be a good time.
Yeah.
- Maybe?
- Maybe?
- Maybe you're right.
I mean, I think you're really talented and I want you to
have everything you set out to have.
- Really?
- Really, yes.
Wow. That is very good because
I just quit my job today.
- Oh no.
- Surprise!
- No, Kendall you didn't-
- No I quit my job today, yeah I quit.
- Kendall?
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
- You're insane.
Why didn't you talk to me about it first?
- I'm talking to you about it now.
I'm sorry it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be fun
I promise, I promise, I promise.
- You know you better start.
No, no. Go paint!
Go paint go paint!
- No wait!
I don't give a fuck where they think the numbers are.
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
I set the bottom line and that's what it is.
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
Exactly. If they can't wrap their head around it I'm out.
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
Wait.
Can you hang on a second?
I got a call.
Rob I'm on the other line.
I know. I'll see you at the hospital it's fine.
[ Deep music emerges ]
[ Chatter, phones ringing ]
[ Deep music continues, heart beating, Hospital sounds ]
[ Flatlining sound ]
- Andrew?!
- Kendall..
I wasn't there for him.
[ Sad music ]
- A few times I met him
the old man was a pisser that's for sure.
- Anthony...
- Honey he was a piece of work.
- Stop it.
[ Footsteps ]
Who's that?
- Jack Palmer
[ Lighter clicking ]
-Wow Kendall still smoking weed.
I guess some things never change.
- Yeah well, sometimes I need to fall back on some old habits.
- I think we all do.
[ Busy town, Car sounds ]
- Hi, what are you doing here?
- I heard angel passed away. So I wanted
to come pay my respects to him and to you.
- And Andrew?
- And Andrew.
[ Coughing ]
You alright?
[ Laughter ]

[ Multiple sinister voices in his head mumbling ]
[ Mirror glass shatters ]

[ Evil, whispering laughter ]
[ Dark sounds stop abruptly, laughter continues ]
[ Soft, sad music ]
- Woah
I haven't been here in ages.
- They changed it.
- Yeah, they did, sad.
They yuppified it.
- What do you mean sad?
- Well, look at it.
Nothing like the glory days.
- Where's the bartender?
- So how are you doing, bro?
- I'm good.
Going back to work tomorrow.
- You sure?
- Do I look unsure?
- I don't know Andrew.
It's only been a few days.
And grieving is normal.
Everybody gets it.
- I'm done grieving alright? I'm done being around the house and done sleeping in. I'm done being around Kendal
all day.
I feel like I'm under the microscope
with her. Alright. I'm done being stuck inside my own head.
- Just trying
to handle it.
- Yeah. Well, thank you. I just want
to get out, where's the bartender.
- Listen, I get it.
You're going through a lot.
I do. Come here.
Look at me. Do not force it.
Do not overdo it.
- Okay.
- Okay.

[ Phone ringing outgoing ]
[ Phone busy sound ]
[ Redial tone, phone ringing outgoing ]
[ Knocking on door ]
Come in.
Hello, Mrs. Madera
- Dr Poslow
- Hi.. Please come in, have a seat.
Hi, it's lovely to finally meet you. Andrew has
told me so much about you.
I wish I could say the same.
Well, I am Andrew's psychiatrist, uh, and I would have hoped he'd spoken to you much sooner about his visits But I suppose it's better, late than never.
- Uh, we're still living in never.
- What do you mean?
- Andrew hasn't told me anything about you or
your meetings
Uh, I came to your office because I found
your number on his anxiety medication.
- Uh, is everything okay?
- Not really. Um, Andrew had a really weird, severe,
uh, episode at work today.
- Uh huh
- Um, I've never seen him like that. I was wondering
if maybe his anxiety is just forced because his, his father
passed away recently and maybe there's
something wrong with his medication that's not quite right or something.
- Uh huh
Well, what exactly happen today?
- Uh, I don't really know exactly.
Um, he, he attacked one of his coworkers.
I don't know why.
Um, he was acting
paranoid and hallucinating.
He, he wasn't making any sense.
I didn't understand what was happening to him.
- Well, that definitely sounds more serious than anxiety.
- Yeah, I thought so too.
What are you.. do you? What do you think it was?
- Oh boy
- Mrs. Madera? I'm really not at liberty to say. There's a doctor patient privilege at work here and without Andrew's consent
or legal necessity, I'm kind of setting.
- But I'm his wife.
- I understand that.
Um, it could be any number of factors.
His father passing, like you said, could definitely have triggered depression
high stress scenarios, bipolar disorder, even schizophrenia,
but he needs further testing.
He needs a complete medical evaluation
before we can even talk about about proper treatment.
[ Revealing music ]
- Uh.
[ Music continues ]
Sorry.
- No, please take your time.
- Okay.
What do I, what do I do?
What can I do?
What can we do?
- Well, you know, it's not really about what you
can do or what I can do or what we can do.
It's about what Andrew will allow us to do.
He has to want help before we can even approach a treatment plan or getting proper medications.
That's the first major step.
[ Music continues ]
- Okay. Um
I guess that's all you can tell me.
- Yeah I'm sorry.
- Um, okay.
I didn't tell Andrew that I was coming here, so don't.
- Oh, no, no, no, I wouldn't.
Um, but it may be a good idea if you
did talk about it with him.
Now.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
- You're welcome
Call me if you need anything.
- I will.
It was to meet you.
- Likewise
Have a good day.
You too.
[ Music fades out ]
[ Pencil scribbling ]
[ Dark sounds ]
[ Gentle knocking at door ]
[ Strange mumbling voices ]
[ Door opens then footsteps ]
- Where were you?
- Jesus God baby you scared me.
- I asked you a question
- I just had to get out.
- Out where?
- Driving.
Just went driving.
- Don't lie to me Kendall
I'm not an idiot I know what you're doing
- What are you talking about?
The truth?
Can I trust you to give me the truth again?
Lying is
a really difficult thing
to follow.
So what is the word of truth?
Please give it to me. What is that?
[ Sinister voices in his head, Dark sounds ]
The voices telling me that you don't know the truth.
You stay there.
[ Sinister voices mumbling ]
[ Dark music ]
[ Sinister voice ]
[ Body drop ]
[ Dark music, Sinister voice singing ]
- Your wife came to see me yesterday.
- How haven't you told me?
- Would you be comfortable if I discussed
our sessions with her?
- I'm sure you have already.
- Well, not in any detail, but she genuinely
seems to care and want to help you.
- How come you didn't tell her you were seeing a psychiatrist?
- Why would I?
- What do you mean?

- Rob, I'm sorry.
- I'm really sorry. That was weird.
I need to talk to you about Andrew
- What's going on?
- Yesterday, I came home and I found him sitting in the
stairwell naked and shaking and crying.
I don't know what the fuck is going on.
- Okay.
- There's something wrong with him. I don't know what to do, and I want to know the truth.
He won't tell me anything I'm asking for your
help right now.
- I'm just going to go.
- Sit, please.
- Okay. I'm sorry. I'll call you later. Okay.
- Okay.
[ Drink pouring into glass ]
- Thanks.
- It will take the edge off.
What I'm about to say.
It's not going to be easy to hear.
[ Dark music ]
Okay?
[ Dark music continues ]
When Andrew was a child.
He was molested by his babysitter and her husband.
[ Disturbing sounds ]
Angel came home one day to pick him up.
knocks on the door. No answer.
He steps inside.
He calls out for Drew...for the babysitter. Still no answer.
[ Disturbing sounds ]
Eventually....he makes his way into the
basement... where he finds Drew.
Lying on the floor
Damn near half naked.
He finds his son curled up in a fetal position, lying on the floor of some basement.
And no one's in sight
He scoops him up, he takes him home.
Now, five months later
They find this bitch in a grocery store
shopping with, I guess her then boyfriend.
And Andrew.
Has to testify in court.
Explain every single detail.
[ Sad music ]
- I can't believe I never knew.
- How could you?
Just try an imagine telling the person
that you love?
More than life itself.
[ Sad music ]
It can't be easy.
[ Sad music continues ]
Andrew is lost.
He's scared.
He's alone.
He's that little kid again.
- Just to be clear, you two haven't been
together very long, have you?
- No
- Well, you need to realize that people with certain mental
illnesses strongly resist treatment.
and Andrew's results show that his ventricles are slightly larger than average.
And he was demonstrating abnormal glutamine and dopamine levels, which I suspect was because he wasn't taken away.
- Right I don't understand what you're telling me.
What do you mean certain mental illnesses?
What's wrong with him?
- I think he has a variation of schizophrenia
[ Haunting sound ]
- No
- No, his dad just died.
- I know
[ Haunting sounds ]
- His dad just died.
- Well, maybe.
But I'm going to give you some information here about a
support group for families who are dealing with schizophrenia
and you should really take your time with this.
Do your homework, find out what you
both might be facing.
This support group could be the key to his recovery
and they can really help you dive deeper.
- I'm sorry about what happened.
- It's family, you know, same shit, different dilemma.
- Yeah.
I still enjoyed us.
- Really I'll remember to lock the
frigging door next time
- Can I have a scotch please.
- Oh, there he is. Fashionably late as always.
What's that?
- Drugs, Kendall and Dr. Poslow want me to take.
- What kind of drugs?
Let me see.
[ Restaurant crowd sounds ]
What kind of drugs are these?
- It doesn't matter. I'm not taking them.
Thank you.
[ Restaurant crowd sounds ]
- Hey, listen to me.
- Another please
- You realize these are anti-psychotics right?
- I'm not taking them.
- That's why you shouldn't be drinking.
[ Restaurant crowd sounds ]
Here.... Water, please.....
take your fucking meds.
- I'm not taking the medication.
- Dude. You're not drinking.
- I'm not taking the medication!
- What the hell is wrong with you? [ Phone rings ]
- Answer that
Is that Kendall?
- No, it's not Kendall.
- Is she calling from his house. Is she calling from Jack's house is she?
- What, what are you talking about?
You're not
making-
- Can I have that scotch!
- No offense, but I will not serve you any more drinks.
- Why not?
Oh, is my money not good enough for you, huh? Huh? You think I'm sick. Don't you think I'm fucking sick.
- Bro. What is going
on with you?
- Is there a problem here guys?
- Mind your own business
- Take your piss beer and mind your own fucking business.
Like my cousin said.
- I got this.
I got, I got it.
Cool off
Alright.
- Robbie you're the family, right?
- I am.
- This is coming. It's coming around again. It's coming.
It's coming.
- Okay. You're not making sense right now
- Yes, I am.
So we're going as you and I needed you the family and then dad was there. Right. And like, hush hush, don't talk about it.
Don't talk about it because no one can know this happened.
So when everything's been surrounded, it comes into
focus right here, here. It's a matter of you being a
fucking selfish prick, staying in dad's house, using all his shit,
and then you go tell Kendall what happened that day.
You told Kendall?
- Alright.
- That is she is my wife.
Not yours.
Not that asshole Jack's wife!
Alright.
What's he doing here? What the fuck is he doing here?
Get the fuck away from me!
Hey, well fuck him!
Woahhh Chill out. There's no one there.
Fucking chill out! Drew!

Huh?
- No.
How your poor husband is treating you so poorly.
There's circles of trust circles of a friend circles.
We should build sand castles
and

travel of it all I'm telling you right now, where is he?
Is he hiding in here?
He's hiding like a bat in the attic, huh?
Bat in the Belfry cat on the mat that leather and lace

What are you doing here?

I'm so proud of you, Kendall.
It's amazing.
- Thanks
Andrew I don't think you understand, what you put me through.
What do you want for me?
- I want you, Kendall I want us.
Hear me out
I'm schizophrenia.
I think my mother was too. I used to hear
the word thrown around the house, but dad
never wanted to talk about it.
In my early twenties. I started to hear voices. I started to see things.
I was given medication for anxiety.
Supposedly, most of the time I was fine. Most of the
time I didn't need it
but one time they came out, they
came back.
The people
Voices, every everything. And I...
went to dad and the last thing he said to me in the
hospital was don't let them control you.
The doctors and I listened to him.
I threw out my medication, my pills, and
I became sick, sicker and sicker Kendall.
I didn't know how to get out of it.
So whatever you decide today Kendall,
whatever you decide.
If you stay with me, don't stay
because of my sickness stay despite of it.
[ Moving music ]
I love you.
- I love you too.
[ Moving music ]
Sometimes love isn't enough.
[ Moving music ]
- Sometimes love is not enough...
[ Moving music ]
[ Birds chirping ]
- So then, who would like to begin?
Go ahead, Kendall.
- Thanks Michelle.
- Why are you here Kendall?
- The eternal question.
Um
I don't know why I'm here.
Maybe
Maybe to figure out what's next.
[ Moving music ]
Just don't.
[ Moving music ]
Everything was so amazing at first.
It was the 4th of July and we were
together and we just decided to do it.
We just ran off together.
He couldn't afford a ring so he just gave me this bracelet
like an idiot, I accepted it.
[ Moving music ]
I don't know
I feel like
I feel like sometimes you just got to do
that though. You know, you just go and say, fuck it.
I didn't know.
- Kendall? Who is he to you now?
