I'm going to give you

my sister's phone number.

She volunteers at these weekend fertility

ceremonies in the high desert.

Maybe she can give you some sort of insight

that the rest of us haven't been able to.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's probably not for me,

but I appreciate it.

Kate, if what

you've told me is true

then I don't think conventional

medicine can help you.

What happens at the ceremony?

Well, um, have you ever

participated in a peyote ceremony

or ayahuasca, or any

kind of ceremonial medicine?

Well, no.

It can be an intense experience.

Um, but if you're open to it, I think

that you can really learn something.

I know I'm going to get

pregnant this time.

I know it. I know it.

Sometimes it takes many times

to come here before you do.

I think you have

to let go of the trying.

Yeah, I get nervous sometimes.

Make yourself at home. The

ceremony will start in an hour.

How old are you?

Twenty-four.

What's the rush?

I'm actually not trying

to have a baby right now.

Then what are you doing here?

I get pregnant

every time I have sex.

Sounds rough.

No. No. No. No.

You are a gateway.

No, I have to go home.

No, I have to get out of here.

No, I have to go home.

No, I don't want to be here.

It's just the medicine. Trust it.

It's just the medicine.

Every time you end

the life inside of you,

it will come back stronger.

Sleep

sleep, little bird

when the time comes

do not resist

do not say no

good morning, sleepyhead.

Do you want a bath today?

Yeah.

Okay.

One, two, three, up.

Okay.

You're gonna be

such a good mama.

You've been very patient.

I think we need to

increase her dose.

No, we can't give her

more than three drops.

It's not good for the baby.

Lily, she's fine.

- Morning.

- Sister.

Started getting

so hot out there.

Yeah, it always heats up in may.

Happy mother's day, mama.

We're almost there.

Blood pressure is a little high.

Has anybody tried

calling her phone?

No, poor girl.

How's she been this week?

Not so good. I mean, we could

use you around here more often.

Well, I can't spend all

my time out here,

I'm going back and forth

enough as it is.

Well, you don't know what it's like here.

It's really hard.

I am here every weekend.

I'm going back and forth.

Yeah, well, I think you should

stay with her from here on out.

It's the last month.

I can't take a whole month

off of work, Lily.

God damn it, you idiot!

Don't yell at her.

No wonder she has high blood

pressure, living here with you guys.

She can't hear us anyways.

It's okay. Come on.

Come with me. Come on.

Okay.

Classical or contemporary today?

I'm feeling contemporary.

911, what's your emergency?
