01x04 - Good

[bunniefuu]

[Julie] I lost one child
and I threw myself into another.

From the depths of pain...

comes a blessing.

It's love that powers me,
transforms me, sustains me.

All of us.

Has Apple been in touch? I heard a rumor.

[Belle] The doctor told me
I went into full cardiac arrest

and died for just under three minutes.

[Milla] Oh, my God.

Business stuff.
Maybe I can help you with that.

Okay, bathroom, pants, off, now.

This is my department.

Hey, don't do that. What are you doing?
Hey, Mum, Mum, Mum.

- If it is cancerous...
- [doctor] Don't get ahead of the biopsy.

Our family has
a lot of negative experiences

when it comes to oncologists.

I wanna do the South America trip.

I'm done. I don't wanna be
messed around by more doctors.

I don't want you to die.

I think it's a pretty normal reaction.

That's not about me.

That's about you.

[insects trilling]

[birds chirping]

[blows shell]

[speaking Spanish]

[in English] What does that mean?

He says that the medicine welcomes you.

So, open your heart
and drink with your best intentions.

Safe passage.

[tribal music playing]

[exhales deeply]

[inhales deeply]

[breathing heavily]

[man coughing]

My heart.

[gasps] I'm breathless.

That's normal. Have you fasted?

Mmm.

And you said your intentions?

[breathing heavily]

f*ck you, cancer.

I don't know
if that's transcendental enough.

You want to beat your cancer
with a big stick.

I'm not here for much longer.
I wanna find a way to accept.

Maybe find some peace in it.

It? [scoffs] What is "it"? The cancer?

It's also you. Can you see?

To see.

Maybe that's your true intention.

Dear Mama Aya, let me see.

[belches]

[indistinct conversation]

Sorry.

Do you want to share your experience?

Uh... I'm okay.

Go on. It's a safe place.

Uh... Well, I...

[inhales deeply]

I felt like my heart was
gonna burst through my chest cavity.

Then I vomited a couple of times.

I don't know, maybe I was
meant to keep it down longer 'cause I...

I kind of just had a good nap after that.

Maybe you needed it.

[chuckles softly]

Long way to come for a nap.

I don't mean to be negative.

It's just... expensive.

[female shaman] Stay open.

The plant works in her own way,
in her own time.

[bird calling]

[insects trilling]

[twig snaps]

[bamboos creaking]

[female voice] Lucy.

Yes?

Hi?

- [female voice] Run!
- [electronic music playing]

[muted scream]

[muted scream]

[female voice] Yes, Lucy?

[Lucy] I'm lost.

[female voice] Take a seat.

[gasping]

This is a mostly true story
based on a lie.

Some names have been changed
to protect the innocent,

and so we don't get sued.

Belle Gibson has not been paid
for the recreation of her story.

So, I just come from
the Editor-in-Chief and the lawyers.

Oh, big fancy job. I get it.

They're not letting us publish.

Yet. They're not letting us publish... yet.

Wait, hold on.
They have to let you. They do.

- Is that...
- [scoffs]

You're not trying hard enough.

Look, there are stories sometimes
for whatever reason.

Oh, f*ck. No.

Don't talk down to me, okay?

I'm gonna go to the Daily Mail.

Now that I think about it,
I should've gone there in the first place.

Why didn't you?

Because I wanted the story to be credible.

I... I wanted it to be something
that couldn't be dismissed.

You know my credible workplace?

We publish puff stories about Belle.

I found at least two articles
on her "inspiring wellness journey."

Not fact-checked.

Told my editor
we should be f*cking mortified.

[scoffs]

You said that to your boss?

That's a pretty sick move.

I'm a pretty sick guy.

How's your wife?

That's such a terrible word... "Wife."

[sighs]

She's in Peru.

At some retreat.

I wanna go, you know, just show up, but...

there's no point if I don't believe
in what she's doing, and I don't.

I wanna drag her back here

and chain her up to a f*cking chemo chair.

Meanwhile, Belle is just...

just running around, flogging her book.

And she's got her app
on people's wrists in, like,

Vietnam and Morocco.

And Peru.

And what are you doing?

Just sitting here.

Drinking your cheap f*cking beer.

[dance music playing]

[Chanelle] Look, I make a good point,
but I'm not totally innocent.

[crowd cheering]

If I had one wish...

I wish I had never met Belle Gibson.

[indistinct chatter]

[Belle] Berlin! I would k*ll!

It's like the greatest city
in the whole world.

Wow.

[Chanelle] I was supposed to be
doing my MBA, but I was also bartending,

so it got a bit messy at the end.

So it's like, it was just time
to come home, you know?

I mean, how could you
go back to the Gold Coast?

- Oh!
- It's so pretty, but soul-destroying.

No! Gold is f*cking sick, bro!

- I love it there!
- [giggles]

I'm just kidding,
it crushes my soul every time I'm there.

And I honestly, I don't know
if I can actually do it again.

I could maybe do...
I could maybe do Melbourne.

I can't leave Milla right now,
she needs me up there, so...

- Could you not manage her remotely?
- Um...

Or maybe she'll wanna move too?

Actually, something I'm discovering is

I actually really like managing.

I really like the hustle of it.

I bet you're really good at it.

This is so pretty!

[Chanelle] Oh, thanks.

[Belle] Can I touch it?

Yeah.

So nice!

Does Milla pay you, like,
commission, like, 10%?

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Ugh, you stink.

Sorry. We ended up at Revolver.

[chuckles] So feral.

[both chuckle]

- With who?
- Ugh.

It was actually me and Belle.

She's trouble.

[Milla] Tell me who that is.

The guy from Panic! at the Disco?

- No, look closer.
- Oh, okay.

I found it on a skate forum from 2003.

What were you doing there?

She's all over it,
posting "I just got out of surgery,"

"three heart attacks, pericardium."

Mmm-hmm.

I mean, I wonder how her heart is now.

Weird she didn't put that in her bio.

Okay, well, how old is she here?
I mean, if it is her.

Twelve, thirteen?

Last night, you have to admit,
she looked really well.

Yeah, you look well.

That's because I work on it.

- Constantly.
- Yeah.

She said she's given up enemas
'cause of the smell?

You don't smell with 'em.

- I don't smell.
- You smell great.

I don't think she's ever done one.

Ah, okay. Millie?

You know what I loved most
about last night?

[sighs]

Seeing so many incredible, powerful women...

It's not about that.

...standing together, lifting each other up.

Women, soaring...

together.

I'm not a bad feminist.

- Yes. Yeah...
- I'm not.

- [thrilling music playing]
- [phone dings]

[Chanelle] Ever heard of love bombing?

That's Belle. In active approach.

Never seen anything like it.

Links to music and articles and recipes

and thoughtful morning check-ins

and wine o'clock FaceTimes,

and we were both sh*t sleepers,
so we'd keep our phones on at night.

Like we were teenagers.

Belle was ambitious.

And I'm not saying
Milla was losing relevance,

but her priorities had shifted.

Can you taste the Love for me?

[Chanelle] Meanwhile,
Belle was about to go next level.

[Belle squeals]

[Chanelle] I told her things.

And then she swooped.

Hypothetically,

what if I was to miss
the first couple days

of our travelling roadshow?

Maybe see if Arlo can drive, hmm?

Let him stick his head out the window?

- But I need you.
- Aw.

I'm not comfortable spruiking
all this on my own.

You hate the juice.

It's not that. It's not.

It's just that...

I was back living with my dad
and my very religious step-mum

so it was either make enough money
to get out of the Gold Coast...

or k*ll them.

...a quite big opportunity
has come up for me.

And...

Belle. Belle Gibson.

She wants me to help professionally.

Of course. She's competitive with me.

- Competitive with you?
- You know how she was like "have we met"?

I found this. I took a screenshot.

She used to write on my wall all the time.

I didn't put it together.

I wasn't listening. I was...

"San Francisco, all expenses paid..."

"Premium economy."

International Girls Gone Wild. Wow.

It's just a couple of meetings.

She asked me not to talk about it.

[phone vibrating]

Do you wanna get that?

It's just Mum.

Anyway, Belle is scaling
The Whole Pantry up.

And when I get back, I can scale you up.

I can use that intel to feed it...

I don't want to be scaled, okay?

Instagram is ugly and fake
and uncontrolled growth.

You know what does that? Cancer cells.

Sorry, Millie. I'm gonna make you
the most beautiful spreadsheet every stop.

You're not even gonna miss me.

[sighs]

It's fine.

I get it.

[bottles clinking]

How is your mum?

Good. Yeah.

She's gonna be really good now.

In retrospect, my timing was...

f*cked.

You've been doing some painting, Arlo?

Yeah, Mills wanted a bit of a freshen up.

It's pearl white.

Well, it's happy. A happy home.

This, uh, tofu looks just great.

You're gonna be vegan before you know it.

I guess you've just got to think of it
as a flavorless sponge that...

soaks up all the other flavors.

Sweetheart, are you gonna have
some sponge?

No, I'm thinking of doing juice only.

Just for a bit.

We want to talk to you
about Mum starting Hirsch.

I'll do all the support work
to get the protocol underway,

but when I'm on the road with the juices,

we need you to help with
a bit of the prep.

Only for a couple of weeks.

You know what?

I don't think going on a diet
before surgery is a smart idea, do you?

Well, I've postponed it.

Millie has had such good results,

- I wanna try it too.
- How long have you postponed it for?

She doesn't need your permission.
She's grown.

How long?

Not until she's better.

And then she won't need it.

Or radiation. Or chemo.

You know what, Camilla?

You are not to do this.
Not with your mum's health.

Joe, I want to.

I'm not letting you k*ll your mother.

I'm not k*lling her.

Dad, I'm trying to save her
with everything I've learned.

You listen to me, all right?

You're not to see her. Do you understand?

You sound insane.

I don't want you in my house.

Stop it, both of you.

She wants to do alternative therapy.

If she wanted to do conventional,
I would support that too.

Listen to me.

She will k*ll you.

If you go down this path,
this will k*ll you.

Hey, I think, um, we should all just

take a minute and reset.

Let me ask you something, Arlo,
are you an idiot?

Because you just painted over white ants.

And you just can't paint over them.

Don't talk to him like that.

- Shut up! Shut up!
- Don't talk to him like that!

- This is my house!
- Know why you can't paint over them?

'Cause they go
all the way through the wood!

Right! It's not just
on the f*cking surface.

[Chanelle] So,
I left my oldest friend in the lurch

for a 15% commission I never saw.

But, you know, the bubbles were good.

Signed an NDA, don't wanna talk
too much about this company.

Let's just say it rhymes with Snapple.

[crowd cheering]

[host] That's not all.

[Belle] It's amazing.
I've had full-body goosebumps all day.

We're the only team from Australia,
so we're feeling very proud and honored.

[interviewer] And are you well?
How's your health, Belle?

Oh, it's a good day. Let's just say that.

[host] Like Tim said,
today is a new chapter in our story.

With a fully integrated
health and fitness device,

which will go wherever you go.

[crowd cheering]

- Ready?
- Yeah.

Now I wanna single out
the app developers here today,

who are now part
of Apple's extended family.

I want you to meet Jordan.

She blogs as The Blonde Vegan,


I am such a fan.

Are you kidding? I'm a fan.

- Can I hug you?
- Yes!

I'm a stalkery person right now.

- No! Get in here.
- Thank you.

[host] Welcome to the stage, Babbel.

[crowd cheering]

[host] Expedia.

Kitchen Stories.

Pinterest.

Hey, teeth?

The Whole Pantry.

[crowd cheering]

[host] New York Times.

SkyGuide.

Target.

Twitter.

[mellow music playing]

Say I'm walking to work.

Past the campus pond.

I look over and there's a kid drowning.

I have to pull him out, don't I?

Even if it can f*ck up my brand new Nikes.

Effective Altruism asks,

what's the difference
if the dying kid is in another country.

Ergo,

how can we make the biggest difference

to all humankind?

You've got to channel your energies.

Kids need food to thrive.

Sick kids most of all.

I mean, otherwise,
what chance do they have?

My doctor says
I have to start eating meat again.

What?

[Chanelle] What?

I don't know how
I'm gonna tell my followers.

[laughs]

Sorry. Sorry. That's, that's really awful...

Hey, hey. If the story
isn't working for you anymore,

change the story.

Change the story, change the world.

[cell phone dings]

Oh, sh*t.

What?

Does that say, "Guys, Dad had a stroke"?

Hold on, hold it back there.

Um... maybe, maybe call him back later.

Just hold on.

Sorry, I didn't mean to do that.
Are you gonna?

- [exhales]
- All right, call him now.

Baby?

Oh, hi, baby. What happened?

[Clive] Yeah, I don't know.

He collapsed on his walk.

Mom's at the hospital.

I'm gonna take the little man
to Nathan's after work.

I forgot, when are you back?
I've got to get on a plane to Adelaide.

Right, right, um...

Did they say what sort of stroke?

Because it could be like, super minor.

Like, like, more of a gentle stroke.

[both snicker]

Uh, no, I think
it's one of the serious ones, Belle.

Sorry... [laughs] I'm a little stoned.

[laughs]

[Chanelle] Clive,
we're in a business meeting.

- Very important meeting.
- Oh, hey babe...

I had an idea.

Kids need food to thrive.

Kids with bad mums, sick kids in hospital.

Okay.

See you later, have a good night, okay?

Kids need food to thrive.

["Magic" playing]

Hi, I'm Milla.

I'd like to introduce you
to my Green Stone Healing...

...Radical Juice range.

The names are Bliss, Love,
Strength, Hope and Power.

Kids need food to thrive.

I was on a plane recently
flying back to Australia.

Actually from Apple HQ.

And I looked around at the food
they were serving in the plane cabin.

Food they were serving to children.

And it was a light bulb moment.

Ergo, The Whole Pantry kiosk.

[Milla] Hi, I've got
the Green Stone Healing Juice range.

Sorry, it's been in the car
for a little bit.

It's a holistic, nourishing,
absolutely delicious range of juices.

At just $16.95 a bottle.

Just $16.95 a bottle.

At just $14.95 a bottle.

If we were granted
a retail space in your new hospital,

we will provide recipes and meals,

which are free from gluten,

GMOs, refined sugar, dairy,

refined seed oils, corn, soy,

high fructose corn syrup and peanuts.

All ingredients are certified organic
and Hirsch protocol approved.

It's 100% organic.

This isn't just juice, it's medicine.

- It's not just juice, it's medicine.
- [bottles clinking]

[Milla] No!

[sighs] Damn it!

[Belle] All in kid-friendly versions

to help our littlest members
of the community and their families

in this most critical,
critical time in their health journeys.

They let Ronald f*cking McDonald
have a house.

- Piggyback!
- [grunts] God.

Go run off some energy. Go play.

[sighs]

[woman] You have cancer.
Where are your priorities?

Do you want fame and fortune
before you die?

Or do you want time with your kid?

So judgy.

[Belle's son] Why do you have no hair?

Hey! Stop that.

Don't be rude. I'm so sorry.

It's okay. You wanna tell him, Hunt?

No hair makes me a faster ninja warrior.

- [chuckles]
- [woman] Pretty cool, huh?

You guys wanna go
and play ninjas together? Yeah?

- Say you're sorry. Go.
- [woman] Take him for a play?

Ugh, he's not normally like that.

- I'm so sorry. Oh, God.
- No problem. All good.

Oh, surely it's nearly bedtime.

[both chuckle]

I wish.

He's decided to give up on sleep.

Why sleep? Why shower?

Is it meds related?

My partner's away in Adelaide,

so he's just a bit discombobulated.

How old's your...

Uh, Hunter. He is nearly eight.

He's, um, small for his age.

He's a tough little guy.

I can pick 'em.

I'm a survivor too.

You're kidding. Which?

Brain.

Luckily not my most important organ.

But, um, which... which kind?

Glioblastoma. Diagnosed four years ago.

Same as Hunter.

- We were just diagnosed last year.
- Oh.

I thought maybe he had leukemia.

Ah...

No.

We actually have an appointment
with Teddy Mac in Sydney.

Yeah, he does the experimental surgeries.

Yeah, he saved a 14-year-old
with a craniopharyngioma.

- Pituitary gland.
- Yeah, everyone said it was inoperable.

That sounds hopeful.

Ah, yeah, yeah.

Her family had to crowdfund the surgery.

It's, um... It's not covered, so...

Hey, I hope this isn't weird, but I've...

I've got a platform,

and my business
and I often raise money for charities.

Maybe the boys would like a play date?

We could... talk about
what might be possible?

I'm Fiona.

- I'm Belle.
- [both chuckle]

- Hi.
- Hi.

Mum!

[Fiona] Oh, sh*t.

Hey, buddy. I'm here.

Mumma's here. Mumma's here. Mumma's here.

I'm just gonna lift up your head, okay?

All right, buddy.

Should I get a doctor?

No. It's all good.
You did really well. Thank you.

This happens to him sometimes,
but he's gonna be okay.

Buddy, Mumma's here. Mumma's here.

It's okay, mate. I've got you.

Good job, buddy. Good job.
You're doing such a good job.

[soft piano music playing]

[cartoon playing indistinctly]

[Belle's son] Mum, it's too scary.

Mum!

Mum!

I'm working.

- Mum!
- [object thuds]

What just happened?

TV broke.

Oh, my God.

- I didn't do anything.
- Oh!

What did you do?

- Nothing!
- Oh!

- Why did you do that?
- I didn't.

- Get off.
- [line ringing]

- No!
- Get off.

No. I stay here.

[cell phone ringing]

Hi. Hi. Sorry. It took us forever
to get out of the hospital.

All the paperwork and discharge and...

So he's home? That must be a big relief.

Yeah, I think so. Sort of hard to tell.

So the television's magically broken.

Just a giant crack across the screen.

Okay.

No idea how that happened.

And I have a Skype meeting with Penguin UK

and a charity fun run to organize.

So, yeah, everything's just great.

Sorry. Sorry. How did he break the TV?

I don't know. I don't know.
He's been like that all day.

Like what?

He's just... He's just mean to me.

He's tired, Belle.

If you got him down earlier
and he slept in his own bed,

he'd sleep through the night, yeah.

And no devices, maybe?

Is that her? Let me talk to her.

I wasn't really calling
for parenting advice.

We were just wondering.

- Aren't you, baby? Aren't you, baby?
- [Belle's son] Yeah!

We're just wondering if you're
still coming home for his birthday party.

- Yeah!
- [Belle] Yeah.

Or is home now Adelaide
with Geoff and Linda?

Yeah, I've got to get him settled.

Like, there's ramps in the shower.
It's a whole thing.

Are you gonna book a flight?

Because the rent here
is pretty expensive, if you've forgotten.

And I actually have
to keep working and making money.

Or we're f*cked, Clive. f*cked!

[Belle] Come here.

[Belle's son groans]

You need to come here. Come here. Bub...

- [giggles]
- I need to put your jammies on.

- I have a call with London.
- No!

I have a call with London,
like Paddington Bear.

- [giggles]
- Come, come, come.

[whines] No!

- Come here. Just put your jammies on.
- [whining]

- Can you...
- [giggles]

- [thuds]
- [exclaims]

[Belle groans] Ah.

[breathing heavily]

It's okay.

[groans] It's okay. Accident.

Here.

Mummy will read you a story?

No.

No?

Okay, you're too tired.

- Mummy's got her call. Love you.
- [whines]

Love you.

[whining]

- [Belle's son] Open the door!
- [grunts]

- You've gotta get a good night's sleep.
- Open it!

[Belle] It's not me. Daddy's rules.

Daddy's rules. [breath trembling]

Mum! Mummy! Mummy!

I hate you, Mummy!

[sobbing]

[birds chirping]

Oh, God...

Ugh! Bubby.

Hey, wake up.

- Oh.
- Mum...

- I feel sick.
- Oh, God. I'm so sorry, bub.

I'm so sorry.

Come here. I was coming back.

I was coming back. I'm so sorry.

What happened? What happened?

- [mumbles]
- [sighs] Yeah.

Hello! I've come with
more Fundraiser casseroles.

I think they are edible,

even though I did mix up
the soy sauce and the balsamic.

[Belle] Hey.

- It's okay. Put this in there.
- Hey. You all right?

Clive's in Adelaide and bubby's sick.

Really sick.

We're gonna see Dr. Phil, remember him?

Sorry, little man.

Yeah, I've got to go to his doctor.

Okay, um, can I help?

Yeah. I need you to drive.

- Yeah.
- Is that okay?

Yeah, no problem. I'll meet you out there.

[Belle] Yeah.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Hello.

Hi.

Oh, my God.

Look how big you are.

How old are you now?

I'm turning four.

Four?

- Four. Wow.
- Mmm.

Thanks for seeing us.

Of course, always.
Hey, can he have sugar-free lollies?

Yeah.

Pick one.

- That one?
- Yeah.

- Good choice.
- [Belle chuckles]

- Thank you.
- Guess what?

I've got another one here.

And you can have this as well.

But first, how about you come with me

so I can have a look at your tummy
and see if I can make you feel better?

Good man. Let's go. [grunts]

Hey, if you have a birthday party,
do you reckon I could come?

Uh, it's up to Mum.

- [Dr. Phil] Yeah.
- Shouldn't you, you know, go in with him?

It's better without me.

- Would you be all right with it?
- [Belle's son] Yeah.

[Dr. Phil] Awesome.

Hey, I was thinking,
did you maybe wanna give Clive a ring?

[groans]

Or maybe Nathan?

Hey, thanks for the casseroles.

Oh, yeah.

Fiona asked me to pass on
how much she appreciated the last batch.

Mmm. Mmm.

Yeah.

And Hunter's dad
really liked the chickpea curry.

They're just so moved
by all the grassroots support.

That's nice.

Yeah.

[Belle groans]

[sighs]

He's gonna be okay.

Yeah, kids get sick, right?

All right, go tell Mummy what we found.

Mum, I had a monster in my tummy.

Hey, my baby.

Yeah, it's just a bug.

Lots of fluids,
let him rest over the next few days.

Hydralyte, you know, watery apple juice.

Spin me!

And a bit of rest and he'll be fine
in a day or so. Won't you?

- You're already better.
- I know.

I've got the touch. That monster's gone.

- [imitates g*nsh*t]
- Again!

Give Mummy a cuddle.

Give Mum a big hug.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

You can sleep with me tonight, okay?

Oh, I'm so sorry.
You can sleep with me every night.

Mummy needs a checkup too?

Mmm?

[sighs]

Can I have a look at Mum,

make sure she doesn't have
a monster in her tummy either?

Do you mind?

Yeah, yeah.

You stay here, okay, fella?

Just gonna have a look
and make sure your mum is okay.

- [Belle's son] Make sure.
- Oh, yeah, I will. Promise.

[Dr. Phil] Take that.

[breathes deeply]

Can you see anything?

Yeah, give it a minute.

It's not magic.

We're penetrating matter here.

[chuckles softly]

I got it here.

[Belle] What is it?

Wait a second.

Cluster.

There's DNA damage in your liver too.

You must be in a lot of pain right now.

[cries]

Hey.

We're gonna get this.

Hey, we're gonna get this.

We've just got to stay the course.

All right?

So...

Your little fella mentioned
that Dad is away.

And...

It's Clive, his stepdad.

Right.

He doesn't like being alone with you.

[sniffles]

He doesn't like me anymore.

No, no, no, it's not that.

But we were so close.
It's like I've been wedged out.

No. Annabelle, he's afraid you might die.

And that he's not gonna know what to do.

And that is obviously terrifying
for a little boy.

[sniffles]

I didn't know. I didn't know that.

Of course you didn't.

You're sick.

- [sniffles]
- Okay?

It's... it's not your fault.

And I want you
to take that off your shoulders.

[breathes deeply]

I know what you're like.

I always told your mother
she was far too tough on you,

so please don't do that
to yourself as well.

- Okay. [sniffles]
- Okay?

You're a good soul, Annabelle.

- And you're a great mum.
- [exhales]

And you deserve to be well.

Okay?

Okay.

[exhales]

Right. This is just like the big one.

It'll suppress tumor vascularization
and reduce any growth.

Okay.

But don't go overboard with it.

I need you to promise me,
no more than 12 minutes a day.

Okay. I can take it home with me?

Yeah.

I actually got it
through customs, amazingly.

And then I want you to come back in
and I'll adjust the settings.

- Okay, great, of course, yeah.
- It's...

It's not cheap, unfortunately.

It's okay. How much?

Ten thousand.

- Mmm.
- Great. Thanks, okay.

But it's gonna be good.

- Yeah.
- Okay. Come here.

[peaceful music playing]

[woman] Hello?

Hi. I have
the Green Stone Healing Juice range.

My assistant, Chanelle,
made an appointment.

Maybe?

They're very pretty bottles,
but do they need refrigeration?

We don't have fridges anymore.

Yeah, they do.

Hey, um, I made some brownies.

- Just baked them.
- Sorry?

You know, some brownies, it's like...

That's okay.

You look like you're carrying some pain.
I just have a nose for this.

No, I... just had a cancer in the past

and a little flare-up in my arm.

I'm just tired.

You wanna show me?

[exhales]

Have you seen a doctor?

Yeah, they want to cut me up and fry me.

Oh. I know that song.

Have you ever heard of black salve?

It's homeopathic.

[clears throat]

Looks like Vegemite. [chuckles]

And it smells like the devil's a*s.

I'm not legally allowed
to sell this in Australia,

just 'cause the government are scared
of its potential to destroy

the big cancer industry.

- Sounds about right.
- Mmm.

Do you wanna try it?

Okay.

Tingles.

It's derived from blood root.

Native Americans have
known about it for centuries.

- Can I?
- Oh, of course, yeah.

- [Tamara] Hey.
- Hi.

How are you? Why are you in bed?

Bad day?

No, I'm just tired.
I had a big day in the garden.

Has Joe been doing the juicing properly?

Your father's trying hard.

- What does that mean?
- No, no, he's good. He's--

Should I come?
I can get you back on track.

No, no, sweetheart, we are fine.

Now tell me, are you having lots of fun?

Yeah, heaps.
I have a speaking gig today.

Oh, in Byron?

Bangalow.

Worked out what you're gonna wear?

No, I haven't decided yet.

Well, I wish I was there.

Me too.

Miss you.

[Milla] Drugs don't cure cancer.

They just don't.

Cancer is nothing more than
your body saying something has to give.

The doctors wanted to cut off my arm.

You know, not everyone realizes
it was my whole arm.

Not just a bit, it was up to the shoulder.

And it wasn't a vanity thing.

- Okay.
- [women whispering]

They wanted to take my arm from me.

Anyway...

this beautiful man...

gave me a stone.

Basically, I stopped thinking with my head
and started feeling with my body.

And I'm so glad I did.

- Thank you so much for coming.
- Thanks.

- Have a good night. Bye.
- Bye.

Thank you so much for coming.
Have a great night. Bye.

[sighs]

She's Mother Teresa now.

Look at this. It's all about her.

You spoken to your mum today?

- Yay, thanks.
- Thank you.

I'm so glad
we found somewhere safe to eat.

It's all truck stops...
sausages growing hairs out there.

- [chuckles]
- Enjoy.

Hey, I wonder

if we should think about
wrapping this up early. I...

Not that I don't like a long road trip.
I just think maybe we should...

[spits]

What the f*ck is that?

Can you check
this plant burger is 100% organic?

Can you ask the waitress?

Yep, yep.

[coughs, clears throat]

Uh, okay, so the burgers themselves
are 100% organic,

but some of the other ingredients
may not be.

No.

No, no, no. That's unacceptable.

Hey!

If you claim to be organic
and charge prices that reflect this,

we should be able to trust
that what you're serving is organic.

This is false advertising
on par with greenwashing.

- Mills, can we just--
- Don't shush me!

They f*cking poisoned me.
Are you okay with that?

Mills.

Please, let's just go...

Let's go home.

Hi.

Hey.

Just got back.

Car run okay?

Yep, car runs fine.

Where's Mum?

She's in bed having a sleep.

[Milla] Mum?

[Tamara] I'm in here, Millie.

Hey.

Hey.

- How are you feeling?
- Good. I...

I didn't think you were back
till the 30th.

I wanted to see you.

Oh, well.

I've... just been lazy, having a nap.

Is Arlo here? Are you... hungry?

I can make you something.

No, it's fine, it's fine.

[Tamara sighs]

Good to see you.

You too.

[Alma] Can you hear me?

Yes. Uh, thanks so much for calling.

How are you feeling today?

I'm fine.

But my mom is in a flare-up. Um...

She's been on the protocol,
but she's not getting any better.

Have you been following it precisely?
No shortcuts?

I think so.

Um...

To be honest, I...

I haven't really been here
to oversee it closely.

Um...

I think she might have taken painkillers.

[Alma] All right, I understand.

Best thing,
you come home to the Institute,

so the therapy can be tightly controlled.

I'll look after her myself.

You will? There's room?

I'll make room for your lovely mother.

I remember her very well.

[sighs in relief]

Thank you. [chuckles softly]

Thank you.

Um... We'll be on the next flight.

You know what,
let's get in the car, right?

Instead of turning left to the airport,
we turn right to the hospital.

I can't do that.

Of course you can.

It's easy, we turn right,
we don't go left. Easy.

If I did that,

what kind of mother would I be?

I let her do it.

[chuckles softly]

I took her there.

That's not a good enough reason.

- Can't we just go to the hospital?
- [knock on door]

Ready, Mum?

We'll get it all out
so you can travel safely.

That sounds good, love.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

- Got everything?
- Yeah.

[Joe] Do you know what?

I can come.
I can buy a ticket tomorrow and I'll come.

No, we'll be fine.

We'll be fine.

- Love you, Dad.
- Yeah.

Bye, sweetheart.

- [Belle] Oh, thank you.
- Yeah.

Um, is Dr. Phil coming today?

Uh...

Bubby's all better, so...

Yeah.

- Where did you meet him, Dr. Phil?
- [door opens]

Clive? Oh, hi, honey.

- Hi.
- Welcome home.

We've missed you. Hi.

You've gotta go change.

- Hi, Chanelle.
- Everyone's about to arrive.

[Clive] Where is he?

Um, on the iPad.

He's conserving energy for the party.

That's fine.

[woman] Hi!

Uh... Uh, bubby, come down.
Your friends are here.

[whispers] Can you finish that?

[in normal voice] Come down! Sorry.

[sighs]

Do you want some water?

No, thanks, darling.

You sure?

It's not long now.

Gluten-free.

Hey, lady!

Oh! [squeals]

What? Oh, my God! Oh!

- Yeah, yeah.
- What?

I got your invite, and I missed you.

What's a 14-hour flight?

- That's something I would do.
- [laughs]

- Also, Davit, the guy I'm seeing...
- Yeah.

Ethiopian, but he's white,
he has a plane just for the summer.

Oh, great.

[Nathan] Hey, Belle.

- Hey.
- Great party.

It is.

- Your place, it's amazing.
- Oh, thanks.

Sara's got your app.
She's trying to make me eat healthy.

Good luck with that.

Um...

Look at us, Nath.

- How are you?
- Beautiful boy.

Look, look, there he is. Four.

- I can't believe it.
- Yeah.

That's crazy.
Where's Clive? I brought him beers.

Oh, um, I don't know.
I'm gonna go, uh, find him.

This is Jordan. She's from San Francisco.

I'm just gonna go...

L.A., but hi, hi.

[chuckles] How do you know Belle?

Oh, I'm baby daddy.

- Ooh. Okay, hi.
- [Nathan] Yeah.

We got pregnant.

Oh. [laughs] Yay!

Babe. You coming down?

Just had to call Mum and Dad.
The new nurse arrived.

How is Geoff today?

We should FaceTime them after the party.

I want them to feel included.

[Clive] Well, actually...

[Clive sighs]

What?

Dad thinks I should leave you.

Thanks a lot, Geoff.

Didn't know he had his language back.

Did he say why?

And your mum?

You think maybe they
want you back in Adelaide?

I've lured you away.

I can't give you your own baby.

She died.

That's my fault.

They wonder if you do have cancer.

Why would they wonder that, Clive?

- It's a pretty f*cked up thing to wonder.
- Yeah, it is.

I expect that from Linda,
but she's never liked me.

I just sat with my dad in the ICU.

[scoffs]

- Belle.
- Don't be a martyr.

- Truly sick people everywhere.
- I've done all the work today.

All the prep.

- You're a hypocrite.
- The oncology ward was one floor up.

You can't f*ck up
my relationship with my child.

And then swan back in
with your parents' bullshit.

You're such a sheep.
You know that, don't you?

You're so f*cking influenced by everyone.

All the time.

[intense music playing]

[claps]

Cake! Who wants cake?

Yeah?

Um... do you want me to get
the ice cream out of...

[indistinct chatter]

[Belle] Bubby...

A bit of my hair.

[Fiona] What?

[Hunter] That's yummy.

Um, hi. Sorry, I just wanted to
introduce myself. I'm Chanelle.

Hi, Fiona.

- Nice to meet you.
- This is Hunter.

- Hey, Hunter.
- Hi.

Heard you enjoyed the chickpea curry.

I was on the fence about the raisins.

I don't think we tried that one, did we?

I've been having
plenty of the mini quiches. They're good.

Oh, yeah.

[Chanelle] She lied to me.
I cooked all weekend for that family.

And she never even passed them on.
She kept my casseroles for herself.

Baby boy.

Look, your cake.

Aw, cake!

Mumma!

- It's all right. She had a bit of a fall.
- [whines]

It's all right. She's all right.

Can someone call an ambulance?

No. She doesn't like hospitals.

Just give her some space, guys.

Has this happened before?

You're okay, mate. You're okay. Just calm...

Hey, has it happened before?

[Lucy] Uh...

I don't know. I got a bit...

You okay?

And?

Everything.

Do you wanna stay another week?

We have a curandero,

There's more to learn.

Yes.
