- Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Eden's daily message. One. No. Scratch that. Eden's daily message. All right, so, I am getting married tomorrow. I'm staying with my future mother in law. I just want to remind myself that I self sabotage and that I deserve to be happy. It's okay. It's okay to have good shit happen. It's okay to be happy, you know. - No. - Eden, stand up. Girl, what are you doing? - Getting married tomorrow. - Pull your skirt down, your ass is showing. - Do it. - How much did you drink? You in a total black out. Don't get in that car. Eden. Eden. - Fuck. - Hey baby, I know I'm not supposed to talk to you on the day of the wedding, but just gimme a call back. I just wanna see when you're gonna get here. - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Hey Eden, it's me again. Remember when I told you to fake it? I lied. This isn't you, and you're a fraud. So quit lying to yourself, and do what you want. - No, please, stop, no. No! - Thank you. - Thanks a lot. - Hello. I think you're just imaging stuff. She's probably just really busy with this wedding. I wouldn't worry about it, man. - You really haven't talked to her? - Mm-mmm. - She knew you'd be worried, and she told me to tell you that she's focusing on getting ready today. - You're the bridesmaid, so I thought she'd be with you. Is there anyone else you can think of that she may have gotten in contact with? - Not really. She told me she wanted to go to her own hairdresser, to focus on myself today, and not to worry. - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Hey, Eden, this is a daily message to yourself. You're getting married tomorrow, and you are gonna stand at the alter and make a promise that you don't know if you can keep. - Are you all right? Are you okay? I'm sorry. I'm gonna make a call, don't worry. Hey. We got another one of those meth heads in here again. This one looks beat up pretty bad. I don't wanna bother you all the time. Fuck. But I think you should come out here. All right, let's just go outside. Go, all right, outside. I'll come help you in a minute, okay. Please, just have a seat. - My husband lost his job. - Expecting a lot of people. Do you want something to drink? Just sit outside for a second, okay. - You been drinkin'? Oh. You been drinkin'. What do you call me for this? You should've called pd or an ambulance. Oh she has a freakin' head wound. Oh that's great, you didn't tell me that. Technically she's outside my jurisdiction. Okay, but since your friend here has a freakin' head wound, now I am obligated. Well, I'm not touchin' her, so, you gotta put her in the car. I'm tellin' ya she stinks, put her in the car. I am not touchin' her. Take her and put her in the car. Come on, boy. How are you doin' today? I'm sergeant berg. - You wanna do it yourself? You wanna get there by yourself? - You have really cute hands. Where do you have your nails done? Thank you so much. Martha. - Copy, sheriff, go ahead. - Martha, can you tell Pete to go wait in my office? I'm gonna be back around noon, okay. I got something I gotta do. - All right, will do. - I appreciate it. Thank you. Why don't you just relax and sit back there, all right? Please. God, oh shit. Oh god. Okay, come on now. Move your leg in the car now. That's right. Okay, all right. Jesus Christ. - She still hasn't called. - You know, everything's okay. - Do you think she's with someone? - Like it's your birthday party when your mom ripped her panties off and tried to sit on uncle Rick's face? Like that? Is that what you mean? I'm sure everything's fine. - hey man, I'm lookin' for my girl. Was she here today? - She missed her appointment. - Seriously? - She usually calls me to let me know that she won't be here, but I haven't heard anything. I'm sure she'll call. - You're sure you want me to leave you here? Is that what you want? Because if you want, I can stay with you or I can take you somewhere else. You want me to leave you here? All right, you have the right to refuse my assistance. Have a nice day. - You's a hot mess, ain't you? Damn, you feel hot. C'mere. Oh, come here, girl. Come on, sweetie, come on sweetie. Here we go. Wee! Gear shift. Shift it. Shift nice. - Oh, you know, you know it. You know it. Oh, I gotta go. What the hell? - No one was helping her. - Seriously? - It damn Skippy. - Name? - Eden... - Oh. Come on. Okay, honey, I really need to get your blood pressure. Keep still for me. You know I'm meeting somebody in the cafeteria. I'm leaving early today. You knew that. - Oh, come on in. Doctors are back from lunch. - It's less than six hours before the wedding. What is going on here? - Nothing. - This does not look like nothing. What is it? Christopher, what happened? - Mom, I called her school, and I called her BFF, and I've called what's left of her family. Dad, can you please do something about mom? - No, I gotta deal with this. Went to Eden's house, she never came home last night. - So she started drinking again? - Dude, are you fucking kidding me? Do you think he knows? - Oh, did you contact the police? - Yeah, can't file a missing person's report for 24 hours. - You're kidding me, right? - No. - It's okay, honey. What can I do to help you, baby? - Okay, well, it looks like we couldn't verify your insurance, so we're gonna have to transfer you. Need you to sign here and here that you understand and consent. All right. Just go through those doors. Your clothes have been put in the Van. Just go ahead, go through the doors. - And I've got some clothes and hats for you. Come on. What are you, come on, you're okay. What happened? Somebody hit you? They hit you? Yes they did. Did this like this. Didn't give you no fucking clothes, no shoes, where's the clothes you came in with? Why are you carrying this fucking bag like that? Hey, if I was you, I would've already ripped that shit out, you hear me? Wait, let me do it. K, now get rid of this. This is fuckin' absolutely crazy. - Do you even know if there were any accidents reported last night? Like maybe on the five, or in the valley like off lanker shim, something like that. Well, how many people have been admitted to the er today? No. No, I just called this morning. Dude, can you just make an exception, please? Just this once. Please, she is my fiance, I need to know if she's o... Don't, ah, fuck! - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Hey Eden. This is me. Eden. And you made a promise, and it's a lie. And if you wanna be happy, if you wanna be happy, you know what you have to do. - No, no, no, no, no, no. - Please. I just need... - Sorry. I'm sorry. You can get help. There's a shelter on Normandy, and right there near sunset. - Do you need a ride? Do you need a ride? Do you wanna go some place? Are you okay? Jesus fucking Christ, lady. Why don't you get on? I'll give you a ride. You can't just wander around here. Where you goin'? You want a ride? - Are you gonna get your brakes fixed? - You can go on in. Everybody's welcome. It's okay. - My brothers and my sisters. Give us the strength and the courage to make the right choices, to fight the good fight in your name. Can I get an amen? - Amen. - Are you tired of the sufferin'? - Yeah. - When I was thirsty, you gave me drink. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me. When I was naked, you clothed me. When I was in prison, you came to me. - Yeah. Amen. Matthew 25:35. You are your actions. In this life, you reap what you sow. For you are the salt of the earth, but a salt has lost its taste, how shall it gain its saltiness? It's no longer good for anything other than being thrown on the ground and trampled under people's feet. So when you compromise yourself, you open up the door for other people to walk all over you. - Amen. - You gotta fight for you at all costs. - What's up brother? Oh, this is the new person. Maybe we should have Lila help her out. Everything's gonna be okay. You go with my wife Lila here, and she'll take care of ya. I know the kind of trouble you're in. We can help. - You can change in the bathroom down the hall. - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Eden's daily message. Please have the strength and Serenity to be who the fuck you are. - Hey, let me just wrap this up, and I'll take you, okay? The password's forsaken. I could give you a ride as far as Chavez ravine. I'm not sure how long this is gonna take. - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Hey, Eden, this is me, Eden, the wedding's tomorrow, and you just, and you just need to have a... Okay, never mind. Shit. Hey Eden, this is the daily message to myself. It's your day tomorrow, and you deserve it, so stay on track, don't rebel, you're worth it, you're good enough. Fake it till you make it. You hear me? Oh my fucking god. This is so stupid. Look what we got here. - We got real. - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Eden's daily message. I'm gettin' married tomorrow, and I'm gonna stand up, and I'm gonna... Tell everybody that I am... A liar, and I do not deserve anything. And I don't deserve it, because I don't really want it. And I live a charade, and before I did this shit, I was perfect. - Can I help you? Oh. So we took it way in here on both sides, and we covered it with lace, and so you can't even see it. So there you go. - Thank you. - You're welcome. - Oh my god. That man was here looking for you. - Christopher. - Yesterday. A big, big man. Yes, I ordered a cake for a wedding. Christopher, Christopher parks. Parks. Oh. It's been delivered already. Doc Wyler beach. Thank you. - Everybody's been called. I still have to call the tent place. Chris is that your... Oh my god. - Hello. - What? What is it? - It's her, she's okay. What happened? - Do you need anything? - Congratulations, man. She's a good girl. She's got good heart. - Thanks. - You know what, I know you had a rough ride as a kid, Chris, but the future is all you, bro. I wanna see you happy, and no matter what happens today, I love you, man. I want you to know that. - Thank you. - Chris, wait up. Guys, hey guys. Okay, you know that brides sometimes don't show up because they're shy, right? It's an actual thing. I don't know, it's like stage fright or something. - God, you're stupid. - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Hello Eden, it's Eden, leaving you your daily message. So, I just wanna say that you're probably feeling a little bit crazy, but I just wanna remind you that Chris loves you, and tomorrow's gonna be an amazing day. So, you can do it. Do it! Woo! Fake it till ya make it, girl. Fuck. - Congratulations! - Hello, would you like to leave a message? - Hey Eden, this is me, Eden. I'm leaving this message to myself, because I know you're losing it. Your future mother in law forced you to stay at her house. Wedding tomorrow, and you needed a drink. Please remember how sabotage you are when good shit happens. Don't fuck this up, Eden. Please stay on track. Do not rebel. Just fake it till you make it. That is so fucking stupid. This is me, Eden. I know you're losing it. I'm gettin' married tomorrow, and I'm gonna stand up, and I'm gonna tell everybody that I am a liar. Hey Eden. If you really love yourself, if you really wanna be happy, then do what you need to do to be you. Eden, you are a fucking maniac. But I love it. I love that. You know who you are, so just be you regardless. Yeah, start telling yourself the truth. Oh yeah, that's it. I'm out. - I've never done this to a bride before. I'll be careful. - Ow. |
