Sammy: That could be

You're the one who pushed me
to come here to find things

I probably didn't need to.

You. I'm not hearing you!
- They're locusts.

Biblical beacons of peril
and plague.

Shitshow raineth down!

- Oh, the shit has hitteth

And after two hours of
scrubbing your filthy trailer,

I realize there's only
one way to clean up this mess.

- Oh, do tell, lady badass.

- Lady badass with a plan.

Gale used the moonshine
to launder his dirty money.

Now I'm gonna use gale.

And after that, who knows?

Maybe I go off on my own.

- Oh. Interesting pivot.

- Do you have a better
solution to pay the tax bill,

Replenish my kids'
college fund,

Uh, finance a rebuild,

And maybe a car that's not
beat to shit?

- You're trying to edge
your biker boyfriend

Out of his own game.
- No!

Gale understands.
I'm a businesswoman.

He-he respects my "can do"
autonomy.

- Outlaws only respect loyalty.

- If by loyalty you mean...

Enterprising, seizing
opportunity,

Leaning in, then yes,

I've got loyalty
oozing out of my...

Barely perceptible pores.

- Uh, mom, who are you
talking to?

- (deep inhale) what?

No one. (chuckles)
no, I was just...

Oh, talking out loud to myself.

Sorting things out.

- You were arguing
with someone.

Seemed like heated.
- Yeah, that's a strategy.

I learned from my shrink.
It's a...

Therapeutic tool to process
thoughts and feelings,

And self-actualize.

You guys should try it
for your band!

- Uh, I'm not sure
if we're at the

Self-actualizing point yet.

(text message chimes)

Mom, are you really okay?

We got in a fight, too.

Fists.
- (gasps)

- Open hand slaps, actually.
- Oh, gosh.

Sammy, I'm so sorry.

- You know, sometimes
a blow to the head

Cleans out the clutter.
You know, makes you...

See things clearly.

- Oh, you're right!

I cleaned, and I saw
what was right,

And for once,

I followed through on it.

I fired ryan.

Like, from my life.
- You broke up with him?

What'd he do this time?

- He was drunk on the job!

Like, curled up in
the fetal position

On an old lady's posturepedic
pillow drunk.

- You know what?
It was the right decision.

I mean, you've been taking care
of ryan for...

A long time.

- And you've been taking care
of like, everyone

For a long time.
- Yeah.

- Oh, my god!

I've been so afraid to move
forward on my own,

That I gave my best years
to my mom,

And my hottest to ryan.

- Well, maybe it's time we
gave the rest to ourselves.

- What?
- An entire generation of...

Baby bunnies was nearly
orphaned because of me.

I'm no mother. How'm I supposed
to care for a human,

When I'm barely human?
- Babe, we're mammals!

Nurturing is an inherent
instinct.

- Do I nurture you?
Do you feel nurtured?

- To the nth degree!

- Or do you feel whipped
and dominated?

- Well, my mother nurtured me

With the heel of a handcrafted
leather sandal,

So, there's a fine line for me.

- Oh, god.

Nora: Morning, lovers.

Uh, special day here
on "milk crate confessionals".

The milk crate,
like my capacity

To tolerate dudes in khaki
shorts, is empty!

So, it's only fitting
that I tell ya about the ex

Who started it all.

The giver of said milk crate.

The incomparable
milk crate mike.

So... Why did mike and I
break up? Well...

Let's just say that records
weren't the only thing

That required needles.

But without mike, I may not
have wound up at cove fm,

So, he deserves thanks.

Sort of.

Which is why we are gonna give
ol' mike a call!

Man: Hello?

- Mike? It's nora
finley-cullen.

You're on the air.
- I'm not mike.

- Okay, can you...
Call mike to the phone?

- Mike's gone.
(receiver clicks, dial tone)

- That was anticlimactic
as all hell.

Uh, speaking of...

Here is a word from foxton

Man: So, planning for a funeral

Isn't exactly a walk
on the beach.

Man: Hello?
- Hi, it's uh, nora again.

You are not on the air.
What's up with mike?

- I told you, he's not here.

Like... Not physically here
on the planet.

B-breathing air.
- Like, mike's dead?

- Missing. He's cooked up
with some big drug outfit

Then started shooting when he
was supposed to be selling.

And...

- Yeah, not in the employee
code of conduct, huh?

- Yeah, neither is crossing

Admittedly, my doing.

- Heard about your little
road trip.

You know, the one...

Where you broke into my place
of business, stole my money,

Answered my phone,
threatened my supplier.

Nearly got yourself killed.

And brought a leblanc
to tag along.

Anything else you didn't
wanna tell me about?

- No. That was...
Pretty spot on.

- And you said there was a cop
stakin' this place out?

- Right.
God, and totally on me.

But only 'cause my sister's
grade-a paranoid.

The cop was terry,
my brother-in-law.

Ex-brother-in-law, I think.

Anyway, I don't think
they found anything.

As far as I know.

with now, but uh,

You wanna do dinner later?

Your business.

I want in.

I have a huge tax debt to cover

And 10 percent of your deals
isn't gonna cut it.

- Oh.

- I wanna meet more of your

Learn how the sausage is made,
so to speak.

- That's not actually
how it works.

There are uh, protocols,

Initiations,

Takes years for people
to climb the ladder.

- I'm a fast learner.

noticed the lack of...

Female involvement
in your club.

Don't you think it's time

Might be just the distraction
that I need.

Full partners on the take?

- Really?
- Really. You free right now?

- As a bird. What're we doing?

- Boosting a truck.
- In! (chuckles)

What does "boosting" mean,
exactly?

- First you stop the truck,
then you take the truck

And sell its contents.

- So, "boosting" is crime speak
for theft.

- Um, more like hijacking.

- Wow, I was thinking more like
another round of bingo.

Or curling.
All the rage in these parts.

We could clean a lotta money.
They already use brooms.

- Yes, but you need to make
dirty money

Before you can clean it.
- Right, of course.

Rhian: The most effective
response to any problem...

Is prevention.

But since you're already
born and raised,

The most caring and nurturing
thing that I can do for you

Is give you an intervention.

- We've tried that.
So many times!

I'm uninterventionable.

- But that's because you needed
the support of all of us,

But attendance was paltry
'cause it wasn't mandatory.

as powerful leverage points

To support healthy
behaviour change.

And serve as unique

Davide: The whole community

For your recovery, ryan.

I too have...

Tangoed with addiction.

- Fascinating.

Ryan: Can't keep waiting for
the rest of them, rhian.

Maybe I should make amends
with the family that are here.

- Ryan--

- Hi, bruce.
- Thanks for coming, man.

- Wouldn't missed it.
Proud of you, kid.

And I was told

Once upon a time,
in a galaxy...

Well, this galaxy, actually,

There was a boy.
His name was ryan.

And even though he misspelt
his name with an "I"

Until the third grade,
he could say it perfectly.

Loud and proud.
And I say it now.

"my name is ryan."

Welcome to my dinnervention.

Not old exactly,

38's the new 16, right, sis?

Planet earth voyaged

to clean up his act.

And become a man.
- Nice.

(clapping)
okay.

- That was very brave.

We all love you.

I-I'd just like to add--
davide: Bravo. (claps)

What courage.
What candor.

A confessional tour de force.
Revelatory--

- Cram it, prince charles.

Not your place.

- Ah, perhaps it's not
my place.

Or yours.

But it is ryan's place.

Misguided, maladjusted,

Unsupported ryan.

Just a guess.
- You're blaming us?

- Blame is rooted in fear.

Embrace love, ken.

All the answers you need
are right there

In ryan's story.

What do you think, ryan?

What is at the heart
of your addiction?

- That's a toughie, davide.

I like to drink.
Makes me feel better.

But then it makes me
feel worse.

- Yes! Yes, keep going.
This is good.

Dig deeper. Why?

Why does it make you
feel worse?

- Enough of this bull!
- Let him talk.

He's an artist.
Maybe he has some insights.

- Insight? Artist?

The man played a chicken

- Dad knows google?

- It was a rooster,

- Your accent?

You're from oshawa!
Ha, ha, ha!

treading the boards

In london's west end.

- This is not part

- Think back, ryan.

Read between the lines
of your story.

What is your subtext?

What trauma did you suffer?

- That trauma is you, pal!

- I wanna know what he writes
in the dirty black book.

- Okay, everyone, enough.

- This is not about
your baggage, okay?!

Or your obviously fake accent.

This is about ryan.

Ryan.

And my deep, maternal,
nourishing well.

- No one's here to judge,
rhian.

Or blame, rhian.

We only seek the truth.

You're gonna make the same

And then, it's somehow
gonna be different?

I dunno, a brother who...
