[ Jane Fonda Narrating ] You can't help everyone.
But everyone can help someone.
Hey, honey.
[ Snorts ] Mm. You wanna party?
Doug, it's a weekday.
[ Fonda ] But if you asked him, Doug Varney would tell you...
sayings like these were fortune cookie horseshit.
[ Knocking ] [ Doug ] Ethan?
Time to get up.
Hey, Ethan?
Hey, pal.
Jesus God.
[ Sighs ]
[ Pounding ]
Jesus God.
[ Doug ] I appreciate his ingenuity,
but, you know, maybe we shouldn't keep cookies in the house anymore.
It's important for him to know that when he behaves,
the treats that we promise him are real.
If we take the cookies out of the house,
then those promises become empty.
Okay, but he's not a dog. Excuse me.
He's a 12-year-old boy.
Did you know that he covered his windows in black paint?
Mmm. Did you know that?
Yes. He asked me before he did it.
And you think that it's okay for him to live in a black box?
I think we need to remain supportive even if his, um,
interests are different than ours, Doug.
You know, taking so many vitamins all at once cancels out the impact.
Dad disagrees.
He's not a doctor.
[ Laughs ] Neither are you, sweetie.
[ Fonda ] When I'm in between jobs,
I like to get away from the hustle and bustle of Tinseltown,
which is why I've kept a place in Woodbury.
Once you get past the candle makers and fudge shops,
it's truly a beautiful place to live--
the kind of place where things don't change all that much,
which makes today so special.
Doug had done his time at Bishop's Pharmacy, working under his father-in-law...
and learning the ins and outs of running a small business.
And after years of delay, Walter Bishop was finally retiring...
and the pharmacy was changing hands.
So long, Bishop's. Hello, Varney's.
Um, what's--
Okay.
I think there's been a mistake or--
No mistake.
[ Exhales Sharply ]
I just thought when we agreed to buy...
the business from you that, you know, we'd--
All right. Let's put this to rest right now. choose to change it.
- Okay. - People know Bishop's.
Woodbury has trusted that name for a long, long time.
They know they can count on our service to always be right.
Accurate. Trustworthy.
What? Change the name to Varney's or something?
[ Laughs ]
Varney's? [ Continues Laughing ]
[ Fonda ] Doug had gotten very good...
at hiding disappointment over the years,
but that doesn't mean this didn't hurt.
The pharmacy might be officially his, but nothing else was changing.
[ Sighs ]
But despite what you might think,
Doug found great comfort in being a pharmacist.
Studiously counting medication, filling prescriptions--
He was good at what he did.
I saw it every time I came in.
But I could also see that Doug Varney wanted something more.
And while he could probably never put it into words,
maybe it had to do with being a man who provided solutions for everybody but himself.
[ Woman ] Consult!
I-I heard you the first two times.
Thank you, Janet.
[ Fonda ] As the one pharmacist in a small town,
Doug knew a little bit about a lot of people.
But he was always professional, never judged,
and his customers always listened to him.
Customers like Donald Zucker.
Donald had battled a weight problem his whole life.
Doug gave him Lipitor as well as some dietary advice,
but then Donald had never been a very good listener.
Amoxicillin. Zoloft. Metformin. Setrol.
Doug was there with whatever they needed.
but because sometimes love just isn't enough, Doug was there with the Xanax.
And Tegretol for Susan D'Francesco...
- because she was bipolar. - [ No Audible Dialogue ]
For Brian Malloy, Chantix to help beat his nicotine addiction.
However, since side effects included severe constipation,
[ Chuckles ] well--
And for poor Kathleen Bergman, Lysodren,
because sometimes cancer comes back.

And for mailman Arnold Morello,
Valtrex to treat his freshly acquired case of genital herpes,
an affliction he most certainly did not catch from his wife.
It's gonna be okay.
It's-It's just-- It's-It's all very complicated.
I mean, I'd never been to Atlantic City before.

Fucking misery.
Kara discovered road cycling was perfect for shedding baby weight,
He saw cycling as a chance for them to do something as a young family.
And, for a moment, it was fun.
For Kara, though, cycling turned from hobby into profession,
inspiring her business at the nearby Glen Rock Shopping Center.
Come on! Grind it out!
Cottage cheese is for breakfast, not thighs!

Mr. and Mrs. Varney, we're all here...
to try to help work things through the best way possible.
Maybe you can tell us what this is about, huh?
It was brought to my attention yesterday--
While he should have been in Life Science,
Ethan was discovered by one of the faculty members in the boys' locker room...
vandalizing one of the lockers with--
Excrement.
And this isn't the first time. Substantial pieces of sh-- Um, um--
- Poop. - had been turning up around the school...
for the past two months.
There's no way of connecting Ethan to the other "leavings," but--
Excuse me. Are you trying to suggest that my son is some sort of Una-shitter?
Like I said, there's no way to be 100% sure.
He has never had any problems before.
No, he hasn't, and--
That's right, so maybe you need to look elsewhere.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Like that David Chen kid.
You know. You know the one who, uh--
who brought the fireworks on the class trip to Six Flags.
Seems likely the kid who's toting explosives on a field trip...
would also take a dump in a locker.
- Mrs. Varney. - I'm gonna be sick.
This is nothing more than a little boy crying out for attention.
And who are you again? Dr. Roth.
- Ah, okay. - School psychiatrist.
And, um, your degree came from which of our fine online universities?
- Honey, they're just-- - No, these are serious accusations...
being made by complete strangers with very little evidence.
Unless, of course, there's been a major breakthrough in crime forensics...
and you've dusted the shit for prints, Dr. Roth.
No.
If it's okay with you, I'd like to start seeing Ethan twice a week,
get a better idea of who he is--
I think that's a good idea.
and what's going on, and, uh, uh--
Just to head off any-- Honey. Honey.

That was great. Wasn't it, Doug?
Doug? Huh?
- Wasn't that great? - Great.
That was just great.
What-- So what happens now?
Do they, uh, call you back or--
Only if you get the part.
[ Both ] Did they call?
No. Not yet.
So!
Everything okay down at the store, Doug?
Tip-top. Great.
Well, that means we can talk about Ethan.
He's at a pivotal age.
Uh, things can get all fucked if you don't keep in check.
"Keep in check"? What's that even supposed to mean, Walter?
I think what Dad is trying to say...
is that we should all keep an eye out for Ethan right now.
[ Laughs ] Which is why...
I was gonna suggest that he spend a few nights a week with us.
Um-- A change of scenery,
along with another, stronger, male influence.
- What? - Well, it'd do the boy some good.
- Dad. - What exactly are you suggesting, Walter?
I'm not suggesting anything, Doug. Dad!
Why can't we just eat a meal like a normal family?
Right, Bree?
Mm. Mm. It's good like this.
- You wanna try some? - [ Kara ] No, thank you.
[ Fonda ] Doug couldn't do it anymore.
He was tired of being pushed around,
tired of being ignored, tired of being told what to do.
Things had to change.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, miss. Hey, we're closed.

You also said that I could go, so bye.
Hey, nice to see you again.
Yeah, it's nice to see you too.
If you are closing early, that's fine.
No, no, no, no. No, come. What can I-- What can I do for you?
Uh--

Actually, I'm struggling with something, Doug.
[ Exhales ]
Me too. I know.
I'm struggling between the drunken chimney sweep...
and this curious unicorn.
It's a big decision.
Right.
That is a tough one. But if pressed, I would go with the, uh, unicorn--
the cornerstone in the Mythical Forest series.
Well, it's settled then. I knew you could help me.
Swallow something the size of a bread crumb...
and farewell to depression, anxiety, insomnia.
Mm.
It's incredible.
You'll be swept away into an artificial bliss,
made more assertive, docile,
erect.
You never get high on your own supply?
- That's illegal. - Of course it is.
But it must be hard working in the candy shop all day long,
knowing that any of your problems could be solved by one of your little...
apothecaries.
Well, fortunately, I've never had...
to take any medication for anything.
Oh, for being crazy like me?
That's, uh--
That's not what I was gonna say, and you're not crazy.
Mm. My husband would disagree with you on that point.
Come on. I mean, you're beautiful, you're smart and worldly.
I dropped out of college after three semesters,
and I'm worldly if you consider the world...
to be an investment banking convention in St. Lucia.
All I've got going for me, Doug, is a rich husband.
Other than that, it's just a list of things I wanna do...
and places I wanna see a mile long.
Well, you can argue me on smart and worldly,
but I think you're beautiful and lovely.
And there's nothing you can say that'll change my mind.
Are you saying that because you mean it...
or because you want to sleep with me again?
- [ Clattering ] - Oh! That was a mistake.
We both got swept up in the moment. It was very nice, but I--
I have a family, and you have a husband.
Both would be very upset to lose us.
Fine. Yeah, you're right.
It was a mistake. Let's just put it behind us.
I think it's wise.

You know what? It can't wait.
Dr. Roth called. Apparently you canceled Ethan's appointment with him today?
Damn straight. That guy's a quack.
Wow. Well, what do you suggest we do?
Oh, sure. Another problem I'm supposed to solve?
What is that supposed to mean?
It means I've tried, all right?
And he's your son too, all right?
So just be his father and do something. [ Microphone Clicks ]

I just took over from my father-in-law not too long ago.
- Yeah. - So I'm still trying to get a handle on things.
Nevertheless, I'm still gonna have to take a look at that inventory.
My inventory? Yeah.
Why? I'm fully stocked. I'm sure you are.
Uh, I just have to ensure that the actual dispensation of meds matches up...
with the, uh-- with the prescription records.
And make sure I'm on the up-and-up.
That's right, Mr. Varney.
Unless, of course, you're some sort of no-good thieving pill-popper.
I'm playing with you. Loosen up. [ Laughs ]
Oh. [ Laughs ]
No. I'm just kidding. So, if I could--
Now might not be the best time. It's just that we've got all these--

I'd stuff a towel in the couch and, well, fuck it.

[ Man ] Everyone just stand back. Thank you.
What in the fuck happened here?
Mr. Bishop. I'm Officer Willits. We spoke on the phone.
"There has been an incident"? This is a goddamn war zone.
Yeah. Oh, fuck me running.
Who could've done all of this? I'm not sure, Walt,
but I think Officer Willits had a promising lead on-- What was it?
Ninjas. Mm.
It's an ancient Japanese warrior cloaked in black, often with mystical powers.
Sounds pretty serious, Walt. [ Walter ] Wait a minute.
Why would an ancient Japanese warrior...
destroy a fucking pharmacy sign in fuckin' Woodbury?
Sir, our investigation is ongoing.
As soon as we get some more information, we'll let you know.
Well--
Doug, what are we gonna do about this?
Well I think it best we leave it in the capable hands of the Woodbury P.D.
They seem to have things under control.
Now if you'll excuse me,
I've got some business to attend to.
[ Fonda ] Doug did have business to attend to.
Fuck!
There was no time to dwell on his latest victory...
because an even greater challenge lay ahead--
ending Kara's reign at the Tour de Woodbury.
[ Janet ] Consult! You do it!
And he knew just how to make that happen.
Using a base of hypertropin growth hormone for quick recovery,
cutting in magnesium hydroxide to stave off cramping,
highly concentrated doses of Adderall for focus,
oxycodone to numb his legs...
and 10 c.c.'s of good old-fashioned methamphetamine...
for that extra kick in the end.
It was most definitively a recipe for success.
[ Doug ] Watch out.
Make a hole, people.
Come on. Make a hole.
Ho, ho, look who it is.
You sure you want to get tangled up front with the big dogs, Dougie?
Woof. Hey, Ed, maybe you should worry more...
about that clotrimazole cream clearing up that fungus inside your asshole...
and less about where I start the race, huh, boy?
What are you doing, Doug?
Baking a red velvet cake. What does it look like I'm doing?
You don't actually think you can compete in this thing, do you?
I'm not here to compete. I'm here to win.
Sure you are.
Let's do this.
[ Starter Gun Fires ] [ Cheering ]
[ Fonda ] The race was on and unfolded the same way it always did--
Kara jumping out to a substantial lead...
while the pack settled in behind her.
And Doug pulled up the rear.
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Come on, Dad! Go!
But this year Doug was just biding his time,
laying in the weeds.
And when the time was right,
Doug did what Doug did best--
♪ Keeper of the medicine ♪

Difficult event. Heck, yeah. Yeah, it is.
[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah. But you know what?
There's something about people chasing you that...
brings out your best, you know what I'm saying?
[ Chuckles ]
Anyway, it's the darndest thing, Mr. Varney.
I-I was checking the data from the inventory...
against our prescription database again today, and it just didn't add up.
Hmm. Not at all.
Shit, that's-- that's odd.
Isn't it, though? That's what I thought.
Hmm.
I didn't realize you were a compounding pharmacy, Mr. Varney.
Oh, this. I'm-- We're not really--
I had this one customer, an older gentleman.
He's all fucked up-- Parkinson's. Oh.
He has trouble swallowing, so I have to make up a paste for transdermal application.
And what customer would this be?
You know I can't tell you that, Agent Carp.
I know. I'm sorry. I didn't notice that when I was here before.
Anyway, I'm sure this is all just a glitch,
but if I could just see your prescription ledgers for the past, say, 12 months,
and then I'll-- I'll get out of here just as quick as I can.
Sure thing. The only problem is I have 'em at my-- at-at my home office.
Your home office?
You're aware that federal code 101(b)12 of the narcotics distribution act...
states that all ledgers be kept at the licensed facility.
And 99.9% of the time they are. Mm-hmm.
It's just that after your last visit,
I was so concerned with getting things right...
that I took my ledgers home...
to double check against my own records,
which I keep on my personal computer at home.
[ Laughing ] Right.
So--
I mean, look, I spilled a bottle of amoxicillin the other day.
I got most of 'em, but I might have missed a few.
May have even stepped on one.
I didn't say anything because, well, like you said, everyone does that now and then.
Everyone but Walter Bishop.
Um, okay. I'll tell you what.
If you want to hang out for a bit, I can run home and get 'em right now.
That won't be necessary, Doug.
I'll be back this way in a couple days.
How about you just have 'em here for me then?
And hey, thanks again, Agent Carp, for letting me off the hook.
Well, this investigation's still pending, Doug.
I haven't let anyone off the hook.
Yet.
- [ Door Opens, Bells Jingle ] - Fuck.
[ Door Closes ]
[ Knocking ]
Okay, I'm in.
What do you mean, "in"? Mm!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. Hold on. Mm.
You're in for what?
For the plan. You know.
What plan? Jack. You know. Let's do it.
Oh. Let's start over.
Oh. Let's do it, baby.
Doug, we were-- That was a joke. Come on. We were joking.
I know! I know we were, but I mean--
I've been thinking, you know, a lot.
I've been thinking a-a lot.
What is this, chardonnay? About everything, and I mean--
My wife fucking hates me.
- This Carp guy's all over me. - Here.
A sedative? Here you go.
Thanks.
And I guess what I'm saying is that,
you know, you're right!
I'm the pharmacist, and he's the guy with the bad heart.
You know what I mean?
Okay. Let's do it.
Tomorrow.
Wow.
[ Inhales, Exhales ]
Okay. Wow, that's soon.
- That-That soon? - Well, I don't want to waste any more time being unhappy.
Do you? Okay.
[ Elizabeth ] I usually head out to our beach house Friday morning...
to beat the weekend rush, so it won't be a surprise that I'm gone.
As you know, Jack takes a lot of medication for his heart--
A.C.E. inhibitors, beta blockers, A.R.B.'s.
[ Doug ] Yes, that's a powerful mix.
I usually recommend valsartan, but that's--
[ Elizabeth ] Not really important right now, is it?
Because of the various drugs, Jack gets a 300 milligram dose of eprosartan.
But if he were to get, say, 400 milligrams,
after dinner trough of scotch--
Well, then when they call me at the beach the next day, it's, "Oh, my God, Officer!
I'll be there as soon as I can!"
I'm his sole beneficiary, so I sign some papers, collect it all...
and tell them to wire the funds wherever we end up.
Oh, so that's-- that's it, huh?
Just like that? Just like that.
You get to tell that cunt on wheels where to stick it,
and we can spend the rest of our lives buying whatever looks good...
and giving each other mind-blowing orgasms.
Oh, my God! This is exciting! [ Laughs ]
Wait, wait. There's just something...
really, really important.
You can't call me.
What?
No contact whatsoever. Nothing that could leave a trace, okay?
Well, how long? That's-- How long?
At least until it all blows over. Maybe a little longer.
Baby.
Here. You relax and let me give you a little something to remember me by.
You don't have to do that. Okay.
[ Janet ] Fax orders came in.
[ Fonda ] Doug filled Jack's order like he always did,
but with one slight and deadly change.
[ Noah, Indistinct ] Noah. Noah.
Oh!

If we're being bros, last night I went out real hard.
I got on a Segway, and I just went to every place that served alcohol.
Are you okay to drive, at least?
I drove here, didn't I?
It's imperative that all these deliveries make it out today.
All of them. People have been complaining about you, Noah,
and we need to show our customers that we can still be counted on.
Like that big clock in the square-- to always be right, accurate.
Mm-hmm. Trustworthy.
That clock? Clock is broken, Doug.
Just make the deliveries, okay, Noah?
You can count on me.
No, I can't, which is why we're having this conversation.
Okay! I'm going! Jesus Christ!

I guess.
Do I know you?

I live over on Donnybrook.
I'm Doug Varney. Yeah. Good to meet you.
Yeah. That big place on the cul-de-sac, right?
Yeah. Well, it's too big if you ask me, but that's what my wife wanted.
You live in town?
Over 10 years now. I-I own the pharmacy in the square actually.
Oh, really? Well, then you definitely know my wife.
Why would you say that?
She eats enough pills, she can keep Pfizer in business by herself.
I'm sure you know her.
Well, we get-- We get a lot of customers.
Maybe thinking of somebody--
Thanks, Lloyd. Sure.
Cheers. Cheers.
- Are you married? - Why? You trying to pick me up?
[ Laughing ]
No. No, marriage is some hard goddamn work.
Yeah, they don't tell you that when you're registering at Crate & Barrel, huh?
No, they do not. I've been married three times.
I still have no clue what I'm doing.
Like-- I've always been the type of guy...
that keeps a steady stream of gifts rolling in just to avoid conflict.
You know? I-I-I make a nice living.
I'm-I'm lucky, so why not spread it around?
Women are tough, but there's nothing like seeing their face--
Just lights up when you bring home some flowers or something sparkling.
I like that. It makes me feel good.
You know?
Uh, wifey's away, so I'm cooking tonight.
I know what tha-- what that's like.
Lloyd, let me take care of his drinks too, okay?
You shouldn't do that. That's very nice of you.
It's the least I could do for a new neighbor.
Besides, I heard what those vandals did to your pharmacy.
That's disgusting.
Horrible. I'm sorry about that.
All right.
Have a good night. Bye, Lloyd.
Bye-bye. Bye, Eve.

he did the next best thing he could-- He came here, okay?
So this is where he-he-he expired.
Are you okay, Doug? Are you okay?
Hey, Mr. Varney, you cannot go back there. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Mr. Varney, no, no, no, no, no.

- What the fuck? - Now listen, he was no angel, okay?

With what?
Well, with-with pilfering. You know?
- [ Rattling ] - Pill skimming.
You know? A couple here, two more there, a couple, three more there.
That sort of thing adds up in a hurry, sometimes too quick.
but there's a real cottage industry out here in the burbs for this kind of thing.

[ Beeps ]
- Hello? - Hey, baby.
Elizabeth, where the f-- You didn't answer your calls.
Yeah. That was the plan, remember? No calls.
Yeah, well, the plan has changed.
Jack isn't dead.
He-- Jack isn't dead.
- What? - There was a screw-up with the deliveries, and Noah--
It's complicated. I can't get into it.
Elizabeth?
[ Sighs ]
Bonnie and Clyde, we are not.
[ Crying ]
It's not too late though, right?
I mean,
we could still go away.
We could just-- We could go away.
I-I have a kid, Elizabeth. I can't leave.
[ Footsteps Approaching ]
[ Doug Sighs ]
God. [ Sighs ]
I was worried sick.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I meant this.
Oh.
You were right.
I guess I've just been a little bit caught up in,
you know, Ethan's drama and the studio.
[ Sighs ] But you're home now. Hmm?
So that's what's important.
Kara, that letter wasn't me asking you to change.
It was me telling you that I'm leaving.
[ Both ] Hi-yah!
Hai!
Whoo! Yeah!
That's what I'm talking about! Yes!
You made it. All right. Congratulations.

Morning, Doug.
I brought you some coffee just the way you like it.
Oh, no, thanks, Walt. I-I'm off caffeine.
I appreciate it though.
Oh.
[ Sighs ]
You know, it's funny. I don't hate it nearly as much as I thought I would.
That's funny. I don't really give a shit.
[ Fonda ] Like I said, things don't change much in Woodbury,
but every now and then, we need to be reminded that change can be good.
The pharmacy had a whole new look,
and I wanted to see it for myself.
Ma'am, are you finding everything all right?
Yes. Yes, I-I-- I am.
And may I say this pharmacy...
has the most impressive collection of douches I have ever seen.
Well, thank you.
Have a pussy inviting someone over.
I mean, your pussy is one of a kind--
[ Doug ] High blood pressure, acid reflux,
chlamydia.
Never would've guessed. No one ever does.
- [ Elizabeth ] Excuse me. - Oh, hey.
I thought you were out of town.
I had to come back to sign some papers.
You know, make it final.
And I had a few things I absolutely needed to pick up from the pharmacy.
Just to complete the collection...
for the kingdom.
So, uh,
are you in town long or--
No. I leave tonight for Madrid. And then Paris.
And then I don't really know. I'm not sure. I don't care.
As long as I don't understand the menu, you know?
Well, hey, that sounds great.
Sounds like you'll have a great--
[ Fonda ] You can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
Take care of yourself, Doug.
And sometimes that someone is yourself.
You too.
Doug Varney wasn't used to winning,
but he was beginning to enjoy how it felt.
