00:009-1-1, what's your emergency?
00:09Hello? I need help. I'm tracking.
00:13Hello?
00:14It's dark. Help.
00:16Ma'am?
00:17Please.
00:18Ma'am, are you still there?
00:23Hey, how you doing?
00:25They just put it right there.
00:27You, uh, you don't look so happy to see me.
00:31I, no, I just, I want to just get this case behind me.
00:34If today's not a good day.
00:35No, it's great. Not a problem. Not a problem.
00:37Great. Let's start at the beginning, then.
00:38When did you meet Abigail Turney?
00:40Uh, that was a few years ago when she showed up at my door
00:44pretending to be pregnant with my grandchild.
00:46Excuse me?
00:47Abigail and my son Henry met in college.
00:50They got engaged, you know, fast.
00:53Very fast.
00:54Her way of, uh, breaking the news to me was to, uh, go bigger.
00:58But, um, despite that introduction, I w-I was charmed by her.
01:02She-she had, uh, walked a tough road, but she had grit.
01:07She was resourceful and driven, and I-I admire that.
01:11So she and Henry are no longer together?
01:12Yeah, she broke off the engagement, but, uh, it was amicable.
01:15You arranged for Abigail to have a ride-along with the LAPD?
01:18Yes.
01:19Yeah, she was considering police work.
01:21I take it that didn't work out.
01:22Leave her alone!
01:23It did not.
01:26And then six months ago, she was reported missing.
01:29What exactly happened to Abigail?
01:30Look, if you're gonna get to the bottom of what happened to that poor girl,
01:35you're gonna have to have an open mind.
01:39A very open mind.
01:41Hey!
01:45Ah!
01:45Police!
01:46I wonder when that happened.
01:50Oh, my God.
01:51Hello?
01:52Can you hear me?
01:54When did you get involved in the case?
01:55Uh, not immediately.
01:56Most missing persons cases aren't really cases.
01:59They're a roommate who got too drunk at a bar and slept it off in his truck,
02:03or a college student whose cell phone ran out of battery.
02:06You know, most of the time they'd show up unharmed and confused about all the fuss.
02:11But this wasn't like that, was it?
02:12No.
02:12After a few days of follow-up calls, we sent officers by Miss Tyranny's apartment for a wellness check.
02:18Thanks again for doing this.
02:20Always a pleasure to see my favorite couple.
02:23Let's keep this professional.
02:24Trouble in paradise?
02:29Sorry, I'm moving on.
02:30What did you find at Abigail's apartment?
02:32Very little.
02:33I mean, no signs of a struggle.
02:34Well, there was no sign of her or her film equipment, but we did find her laptop.
02:38Hold on.
02:38Film equipment?
02:39Abigail was making a movie?
02:40Yes.
02:46We should be safe here.
02:47Why are they doing this?
02:50Go.
02:51I'll try to buy some time.
02:55No!
02:56No!
02:57No!
02:59No!
03:04Please.
03:06I promise I'll pay.
03:09I'll pay the fine.
03:13I only saw an early cut.
03:16It could have used a bit more gore, if you ask me.
03:18I didn't.
03:19I asked why you thought Abigail's case was so compelling.
03:22Oh, right.
03:23Uh, because her Hollywood dream had become a Hollywood nightmare.
03:33Would you like me to take that again?
03:34I really wouldn't.
03:35When you searched Abigail's laptop, did you find anything on it?
03:38Yeah, it was filled with all of these unanswered messages.
03:41Nasty ones.
03:42The more we investigated, it became clear that Abigail had a lot of people angry with her.
03:47Like who?
03:48Okay, thank you.
03:49Thanks, Steve.
03:50Spielberg.
03:52He's an old friend.
03:53I bet.
03:54How did you get involved with, uh, Abigail Tierney?
03:56Oh, well, you know, we're always looking to, uh, discover and, uh, nurture the next generation
04:02of, uh, unheard voices.
04:04Abigail sent in a very compelling pitch video.
04:10Terror isn't something that happens to you.
04:15I mean, it's not every day you find a writer, director, and star with that much, um, poise.
04:21L.P.D. was one of those visionary, artist-driven pictures that, uh, we pride ourselves on making.
04:26And they're the cheapest, too, right?
04:28Well, hey, you know, the lower the budget, the higher the profit, if it's a hit.
04:32But the budget became an issue.
04:34Yeah, um, Abigail pitched us a straightforward horror flick, but, uh, she kept changing directions.
04:41Please.
04:47The reshoot started piling up.
04:48And, uh, we had to pull the plug on the project.
04:53What about nurturing a new generation of talent?
04:55Boy, look, there's, there's nurturing and there's indulging.
04:58I'm a businessman.
04:59There's no hard feelings.
05:00Really?
05:01Because I have an email from you with the subject line,
05:03Where the hell is my money, you lying sack?
05:05Uh, okay, yeah, fine.
05:07Yeah, few hard feelings.
05:09But they were nothing compared to some of those new producers she found.
05:12Those guys weren't playing around.
05:14Well, without the production company, Abigail had to turn to crowdfunding.
05:17When Nolan passed along Abigail's pitch video, I figured, hey, I've always loved scary movies.
05:23And what's the point of having a husband with a trust fund if you can't use it to support the arts?
05:27And it wasn't just money, was it?
05:29No.
05:30I promise I'll pay.
05:32I'll pay the fine.
05:33All right, still rolling.
05:37Reset.
05:39Bravo!
05:40Bravo!
05:42So Abigail hired you to compose music for her film.
05:46What was it like to work with her?
05:47Complicated.
05:47She's very opinionated, which I respect.
05:52I tried not to take it personally when she kept throwing out all the music I was writing,
05:56but then when she completely disappeared and stopped answering my phone calls...
06:00That must have stung.
06:01It did until I learned that she walked off set and ghosted everybody, not just me.
06:04Then I got worried about her.
06:06I do wish she paid me, though.
06:08Hold up.
06:10You didn't get paid?
06:11Did you count experience?
06:13But it didn't provide you with the breakthrough you hoped.
06:15Even though a lot of crowd funders were furious that the rewards were going unfulfilled,
06:18their anger didn't manifest into a concrete threat.
06:21From the suspect's perspective, we were back to square one.
06:23Until we discovered that Abigail had made several trips up to Pelican Bay.
06:27The prison?
06:28Yes.
06:28To visit who?
06:29A serial killer.
06:31Liam Glasser.
06:33In news that should bring some relief to the Southland,
06:36the LAPD have announced a major arrest charging Lincoln Heights native Liam Glasser
06:41with the murder of ten victims found buried near the Sepulveda Dam.
06:45Our investigation into Glasser was a challenge.
06:49He used another serial killer, Harrison Novak, as cover for his crimes,
06:54stashing his victims in Novak's burial ground.
06:57It wasn't until we caught Glasser attempting to murder a new victim
07:01that we were finally able to put him behind bars.
07:04Before we start, I just want to make very clear that I'm an innocent man
07:11and the subject of an extraordinary campaign of harassment by the LAPD,
07:17particularly Detective Nyla Harper.
07:20You've been charged with the murder of ten people.
07:23Those horrific allegations have not been proven in a court of law,
07:28and they never will be.
07:29You've also been charged with jury tampering.
07:31Like, if you're just going to railroad me like the police,
07:33then this interview is over.
07:36Hold on, hold on.
07:37I'm not here to talk about any of that.
07:39I want to talk about Abigail.
07:40Why did she come see you?
07:41To learn about Westview.
07:48Westview Psychiatric Hospital was at the center of Glasser's case.
07:51He was a patient?
07:52No, no, but his vending machine company supplied the hospital,
07:56and he was in and out of there for almost two decades.
07:59It's where he crossed paths with Harrison Novak,
08:02and where he found another patient, Ryan Dearborn, to serve as a patsy.
08:05He used an abandoned building at the psych hospital complex
08:08to, uh, torture and kill his victims.
08:11Did Abigail ask about the abandoned ward?
08:13Yes.
08:14But I couldn't help her much because I've never been there myself.
08:18Obviously not.
08:19But I told her what I'd heard.
08:21That the place was haunted, which is obviously crazy,
08:24but, um, when I was a kid,
08:27I would join my father on his service calls to Westview.
08:29He always told me to stay away from that building.
08:31Something inside clearly scared the hell out of him.
08:38And he was not a superstitious man.
08:40The thing that we couldn't understand was how Abigail had found out
08:43about Glasser's connection to the psych ward in the first place.
08:46It wasn't public knowledge?
08:47No, we kept those details away from the press deliberately.
08:50The only people who knew were Glasser and the police,
08:53and obviously Glasser wouldn't admit to being down there.
08:55Which means?
08:56What they don't tell you about making movies is that it's really boring.
09:00It's worse than surveillance.
09:02Anyway, Abigail and I got to talking about my recent casework,
09:05and it's possible I may have mentioned something about the psych ward.
09:09From Abigail's notes,
09:10we gathered that she essentially abandoned her movie for a new project.
09:14That was shortly after a meeting with Glasser.
09:16Yeah, she felt that fictional storytelling was disconnected from real lived experience.
09:21So that's when she decided to make a true crime documentary about Westview.
09:24Westview Psychiatric Hospital opened in 1953.
09:36It started as a model of modern humane care.
09:39But what lies beneath?
09:41The deeper I dug, the more horrors I unearthed.
09:44Mysteries that defied explanation.
09:47How can one hospital spawn two serial killers?
09:50Some might say it's bad luck, but I don't believe in bad luck.
09:54Mm-mm.
09:55I think there's something rotten here.
09:58Original sin.
09:59And I'm gonna prove it.
10:01The footage on Abigail's hard drive shows her inside Westview's abandoned ward.
10:08Was that open to the public?
10:09No.
10:10After LAPD and FBI finished processing the scene,
10:14the hospital put up a razor wire fence,
10:15hired a security guard for 24-hour surveillance to keep intruders up.
10:19But that clearly didn't work.
10:21Clearly.
10:22So we sent a patrol unit to check in with the guard.
10:24Mr. Dillewaler!
10:25Yeah?
10:26We're investigating the disappearance of Abigail Tierney.
10:29Mr. Dillewaler!
10:31Hey!
10:32Hey!
10:52Hey!
10:54Stop!
10:56Hands behind your back.
10:57Okay.
10:58Hands behind your back.
10:59At first, Carl Dillewaler claimed he did nothing wrong,
11:02that he never met Abigail.
11:04This is it.
11:06But when he searched his office,
11:08it was clear he was lying.
11:15Uh...
11:17Nolan?
11:20Oh, no.
11:21Abigail had become his obsession.
11:22Abigail had become his obsession.
11:28Yeah.
11:29Things didn't look good for Mr. Dillewaler.
11:32And based on his board, it was clear he had become obsessed with Abigail.
11:36And maybe she rejected his advances and things went sideways.
11:39It was sobering.
11:40It was sobering.
11:41I held out hopes that Abigail might still be alive, but I've been on the job long enough to know that the odds were against that.
11:48Do you know how they first crossed paths?
11:50Actually, it was Abigail that first initiated contact.
11:54Uh, she was researching the abandoned psych ward for a documentary, and Carl was the nighttime security guard.
11:59She wanted access on the DL, and she reached out, and she...
12:04Flirted.
12:05Flirted.
12:06She flirted with him, and he agreed to let her in.
12:09I just showed her around.
12:10I told her some stories, things that had gone on there back in the day.
12:14She was impressed.
12:15She actually asked me to help her with her documentary, said she'd give me a credit on the film.
12:19Single card.
12:20If you're innocent, why'd you run?
12:22Because I get what it looks like.
12:24I was the last person to see her before she disappeared.
12:26How do you know that?
12:29Because I watched the darkness swallow her up.
12:32You know, I bet they were doing all kinds of sick things to patients back in the day.
12:36Things that would be illegal now.
12:38Yeah.
12:39Yeah, I know.
12:40They used to do lobotomies.
12:41One of the orderlies told me about it.
12:42He's worked here for, like, forever.
12:44You think you could introduce me to him?
12:47Uh...
12:48Yeah, I guess.
12:50Uh, just obviously, you can't tell him that I've let you in here.
12:54Come on, Carl.
12:55I would never rat you out.
12:58We're friends, right?
13:00Did you hear that?
13:02We're friends.
13:04Ah!
13:08Do you hear that?
13:09What?
13:10No.
13:11That noise, it's a weird sort of beautiful sound.
13:15You really don't hear it?
13:16No.
13:17No, but this building makes all kinds of weird noises.
13:19Hey, I just gotta go back to the main building, Radio Security, let them know if I'm at my post.
13:23You go ahead, I'm gonna go check this out.
13:25Uh...
13:26What did you make of the sound Abigail described?
13:29We weren't sure.
13:30I mean, Carl claimed to have never heard it.
13:32It's possible that she was faking to juice up her documentary.
13:36We've actually analyzed some of the audio files from Carl's video, isolated the low-end frequencies.
13:41Here.
13:45What is that?
13:46I was hoping you could tell me.
13:48It sounds...
13:49Demonic.
13:50Is that even a frequency humans can hear?
13:53Not technically, no.
13:57Well, whatever she heard or didn't hear, Abigail kept searching.
14:03Sure about this?
14:04Yeah, I'll be right back.
14:05Hello?
14:06Hello?
14:07Can you hear me?
14:09And that was the last anyone had seen her.
14:12But Carl could have just turned off his camera and then killed Abigail, right?
14:15We couldn't rule him out as a suspect, but we only had circumstantial evidence against him.
14:20And as we went through the footage on Abigail's laptop, we discovered that flirting with Carl wasn't her only extreme research tactic.
14:26I'm gonna start this.
14:27Should I turn into it?
14:28I'm gonna turn into it.
14:29Okay.
14:30I'm back at Westview.
14:31And if I'm gonna learn more about how the old psych ward operated, I'm gonna need to see their files.
14:40Obviously, I can't just walk around filming people.
14:43So...
14:44It's a cam.
14:45See?
14:46Okay.
14:47Wish me luck.
14:48Abigail had Carl lure the director away from her office so Abigail could sneak inside.
15:17Yeah, I mean, seeing Rachel's name in Abigail's footage was definitely a shock.
15:27You both have a history with Ms. Hall, is that right?
15:29Yes.
15:30So, uh, she and I went to college together and, um, her and Tim...
15:34I'm sorry.
15:36Yeah, we used to date.
15:38Before or after you two?
15:40Okay, next question.
15:41I'm simply trying to establish a timeline.
15:44No problem.
15:45I'll just ask her later.
15:47I, uh, worked in the psych ward at Westview for a year while getting my social work degree.
15:53It was, um, challenging.
15:55How so?
15:56Uh, for one thing, the, uh, patients would often arrive at the facility with, say, a diagnosis of mild depression.
16:03And a week later, they'd start to exhibit disordered thinking. Eventually, they might become violent.
16:10The decompensation was sudden and acute.
16:13You're saying they would get worse, not better.
16:14Yes.
16:15And conventional treatments seem to never work.
16:17Someone suggested a supernatural presence at Westview.
16:20Could that have impacted the patients?
16:22Uh, just because the doctors at Westview couldn't find a cause for our patients' behavior doesn't mean there isn't one.
16:29Maybe it's just beyond the capabilities of modern science to discover.
16:32Or maybe it's demons?
16:34Uh, there are no demons at Westview.
16:38There are totally demons at Westview.
16:40Well, what's another explanation for everything that's happened?
16:44We got Liam Glasser, Harrison Novak, and most recently, uh, Ava...
16:48Maxwell.
16:49Ava Maxwell and Charlotte Russell.
16:51This man came out in a big overcoat, black mask, big knife.
16:56Hang on a moment.
16:57I know that Ava and Charlotte were never treated at Westview, so what's the connection?
17:00Oh, you didn't hear.
17:01Charlotte's nanny was a patient there when she was a teenager.
17:04Yes, yes, I was at Westview.
17:06I had, um, been having thoughts of self-harm, acting out.
17:10My family was very concerned, so they arranged for me to receive the best care available.
17:15And did the treatment help?
17:16Not at first.
17:17I'd been experiencing a, a darkness that I had never felt before.
17:23And at first, I fought it.
17:24And then I realized that struggling only made everything worse.
17:27And once I accepted it, that's when things started to get better.
17:31And I left Westview, and I finished school, and I eventually made a little life for myself.
17:36You were the nanny for the Russell family.
17:38Yes, so Charlotte and I were very, very close.
17:42Well, I know that everyone's saying just the worst things about her right now,
17:47but in my eyes, she is a poised and gifted young woman,
17:51and I'd like to think that I had a small hand in that.
17:54As odd as it was to find that connection, it was just one of those weird coincidences, nothing more.
17:59Charlotte Russell convinced her friend, Ava, to help her stab their other friend, Grace Thayer.
18:04Her actions were her own.
18:05They're not inspired by some nanny with a history of mental illness
18:09or some demon in a computer that convinced Charlotte to do it.
18:12I'm sorry, computer demon?
18:14Zuzu is not a demon. Not a demon. It's an AI.
18:18Charlotte fed Zuzu information about herself and her friends, and based on that,
18:22Zuzu told Charlotte what it thought she wanted to hear.
18:25Zuzu also helped you, isn't that right, Officer Nolan?
18:28It mentioned something to me about a watch.
18:30You spoke to it?
18:32Hello, friend of John Nolan.
18:34Hi. Should I call you Zuzu?
18:36If you want to. Do you need help with something?
18:39Perhaps a topic for a new project?
18:42Your last few have struggled.
18:44They've done fine, thanks.
18:45But I actually want to talk to you about Westview Psychiatric.
18:48John was interested in it, too.
18:51That young woman, Abigail, went missing there.
18:53Are you saying the police asked you to help find her?
18:56No, but they needed my help anyway.
18:59And a good friend doesn't wait to be asked.
19:01Zuzu did send me a message.
19:03What did it say?
19:04It told me that Abigail was in room 666.
19:08The number of the beast?
19:10Look, the facility had no room 666.
19:15And Zuzu isn't a demon.
19:16We were at a complete dead end.
19:18And we were running out of time.
19:20Abigail had been gone for 11 days.
19:22The odds of finding her alive were getting worse.
19:25Yeah, we were out of options.
19:27Until the 911 call came in.
19:29Apparently, there were suspicious noises and lights
19:32coming from this abandoned wing.
19:34So we went to check it out.
19:36Police! Coming in!
19:41Control 7 atom 100.
19:43No signs of break-in here.
19:44Did RP say where they saw the light?
19:49I think the radio's blocked.
19:50I had some idiot kids trying to scare each other.
19:52Yeah.
19:55When was the last time it rained?
19:56Like a month ago. Why?
19:59Oh.
20:02Walls are wet.
20:03Yeah.
20:05What is this place?
20:07And how did you two get involved?
20:08Uh, Selina and I were about to clock out
20:10when we got the call.
20:11God, I hate this place.
20:14How many messed up things have to happen
20:16before they tear it down?
20:17Apparently, the ownership is under dispute.
20:20Westview says that they hold the deed,
20:22but then there's this claim by this Lucifer.
20:25Lucifer?
20:27What?
20:28Lucifer.
20:29Oh, my God.
20:31You're messing with me.
20:32Yes, I am.
20:33Come on, let's go find Tim and Lucifer
20:35and get out of here.
20:36Don't step in there.
20:37Oh, what?
20:48Did you see that?
20:49Someone's flashlight?
20:52And that?
20:53I do not know what that was.
20:55Police, show us your heads.
21:00No!
21:01Just right.
21:02We have permission to be here!
21:04That's not totally true.
21:05No.
21:06All right.
21:07Police, show us your hands.
21:18We have permission to be here.
21:21That's not totally true.
21:23All right.
21:24Unfortunately, gentlemen, you are trespassing.
21:26You're going to have to come with us.
21:29What are you doing here?
21:31Filming an episode, sir.
21:32Ghost files.
21:33I love you guys.
21:35What is ghost files?
21:37Welcome to Ghost Files, where we take your evidence and our tools into the field to expose the supernatural.
21:43My partner, a skeptic.
21:45Myself, a believer.
21:46Both of us, truth seekers.
21:48This week, our team has traveled to Los Angeles, California, to explore a condemned psychiatric facility.
21:54Now, in 1841, this was the site of a Spanish barracks, but a massive earthquake swallowed the building, killing everyone inside.
22:01Many saw the event as retribution for Spanish crimes committed in the New World.
22:05Sure, or an earthquake happened in a region prone to earthquakes.
22:11But that's just the beginning of this site's dark history.
22:14Join us as we investigate.
22:15At that time, did you believe the facility was haunted?
22:19No.
22:19Yes.
22:21You were filming there, too.
22:22Did you experience any temperature fluctuations or anything like that?
22:25I'll ask the questions if you don't mind.
22:27We do.
22:29But this is my documentary.
22:30No, this is our YouTube show.
22:33Yeah, so ghosts are said to produce electromagnetic interference.
22:37Did you experience any trouble with your equipment?
22:43We're done here.
22:45Let's cut.
22:46Let's wrap this up.
22:49Nice.
22:50Yeah.
22:51All of you, let's go.
22:52Come on.
22:53No, no way.
22:54This is some of the best footage we've ever got.
22:56Listen to this.
22:56What is that?
22:57Well, it's a spirit box.
22:58Did you guys hear anything?
22:59A spirit box?
23:00The spirit box rapidly scans radio signals to create white noise through which spirits can communicate.
23:07Hello?
23:09See?
23:10It's science.
23:12Listen.
23:16Okay, okay.
23:17That's enough.
23:18We gotta go.
23:18No, wait, wait, wait.
23:19I heard something.
23:20Can you turn it up?
23:25Help me?
23:28That is not what I heard.
23:31Whoa.
23:31Uh, who do you think it is?
23:33It's feedback.
23:35It's a ghost.
23:36It was a little clearer down the hallway.
23:38Show me.
23:40Officer.
23:43So we're just gonna give up on Tim and Lucy then?
23:46How long have we been in here?
23:48This room?
23:53Yeah.
23:54I don't know.
23:55We've been here for a while, right?
23:57Yeah.
23:58I mean, I don't mind.
24:00I feel good.
24:01Like, really good.
24:03Hmm.
24:06Do you think we've been drugged?
24:09Oh, the wet walls.
24:13We touched them.
24:14Yeah.
24:14I hate making mistakes in front of you.
24:17Oh, you've never admitted that before.
24:21Truth serum.
24:23Sodium pentothil.
24:24Yeah.
24:25You know what?
24:27We, we should keep quiet until this wears off.
24:31No.
24:32Yeah.
24:32No.
24:33It's better for us.
24:34No.
24:35What is, um, your most embarrassing memory?
24:39I mean, third grade, I snuck my hamster into my classroom in my pants.
24:50With that kind of dad, you internalize the message that if you fail, you deserve to be punished.
25:05And without him to punish me, I, I guess I punished myself.
25:12By breaking up with me?
25:13Yep.
25:14Mm-hmm.
25:15I mean, it's kind of flattering, right?
25:18It's the worst thing I could think to do to myself.
25:20You didn't punish just yourself, though.
25:23I know.
25:25And look, if you never fully forgive me, I totally understand.
25:28I have already forgiven you.
25:30It's not either.
25:36Huh.
25:37I wonder when that happened.
25:39You can't put that in the documentary.
25:42The LAPD makes all body cam footage available to the public.
25:44This is obviously an exception.
25:46We were drugged.
25:47I, people, people say all sorts of things when they've been drugged.
25:50So you didn't mean what you said.
25:53What about the potential baby name she discussed?
25:56We're done here.
25:57Yeah.
25:58Why do we keep agreeing to do this?
25:59I don't know.
25:59Excuse me.
26:00Okay, you have to admit, that's a voice asking for help.
26:03Yeah, sure, I heard it.
26:04But it's one of their crew members or something prerecorded.
26:07Were you a patient here?
26:08Is the demon with you?
26:10Somebody covered up a door.
26:12What year did you die?
26:19Stand back, guys.
26:20Okay.
26:26Watch out.
26:27Ready?
26:27Go.
26:28Oh, wow.
26:30Abigail.
26:31Abigail.
26:35I've been trapped in here for so long.
26:37I thought I was going to die.
26:39Oh, my God.
26:40What is this room?
26:41Yeah, but why did they wall it all off?
26:43To trap the demon.
26:44Yeah.
26:45Bartleby.
26:46The terrifying demon king of paperwork.
26:48How did you get down here?
26:49How did you get down here?
26:50I was exploring.
26:53Following this weird, beautiful noise.
26:56When all of a sudden it got cold.
26:57Like, so, so cold.
26:59And I could feel something coming after me.
27:01And I was scared.
27:02So I hid behind a cabinet, but the floor was wet and rusted and it collapsed.
27:07I couldn't climb back out.
27:09You fell from there?
27:10Are you okay?
27:11I think I twisted my ankle, but I feel no pain.
27:13You've been missing for two weeks.
27:16How the hell did you survive?
27:17Oh, wow.
27:20I had a bunch of trail mix in my bag.
27:23Plus, I found, like, this ancient water jug in one of the cabinets.
27:27Plus, Bob.
27:29Bob had power bars.
27:31Bob had power bars.
27:32Bob?
27:33Oh, oh, God.
27:34If it wasn't for Bob, I would have lost my mind down here.
27:39Don't be shy, Bob.
27:40Say hello.
27:44Abigail was safe.
27:46And, uh, considering what she'd been through, uh, relatively healthy.
27:51Except for her mental state.
27:52That did pose some questions.
27:56At first, I was angry, you know?
27:58Like, we're stuck down here together.
28:00At least try and have a conversation.
28:01And then I realized Bob's just shy.
28:05He's just shy.
28:06And there's nothing wrong with that, right?
28:08Right.
28:09Did you believe she'd had a demonic encounter?
28:11She went in perfectly sane
28:14and came out best friends with the corpse.
28:17That's how possession works.
28:18You can't rule out demons.
28:19Yes, you can.
28:20Nolan, look at this.
28:24Six, six, six.
28:26Just like Zuzu said.
28:28It was a weird coincidence.
28:31It was a weird coincidence.
28:34We found quite a cocktail of drugs in your system.
28:39I don't do drugs.
28:40Does pot count?
28:41No, we're talking about powerful hallucinogens.
28:45I'm not hallucinating.
28:47Ask Bob.
28:48I had them run the test twice.
28:51And we found a similar cocktail
28:52in Officer Chen and Sergeant Bradford.
28:55Mercifully, none of the drugs were fat-soluble.
28:58Otherwise, department policy
29:00would have forced Sergeant Bradford
29:02and Officer Chen into medical retirement.
29:05Is that what killed Bob?
29:06Whatever drug they were exposed to?
29:08No, he was shot six times in the chest.
29:12Did you get an ID on the body?
29:13His name was Bob Medina,
29:15a friend reporting him missing about six months ago.
29:17He was a private investigator.
29:18What was his connection to the hospital?
29:20At first, we couldn't find one.
29:22So, to be clear,
29:23there was now a third killer
29:25associated with that location?
29:26At this point, it can't be a coincidence.
29:28There has to be something about that facility
29:30that drives people towards homicides.
29:32Uh, that's a stretch and a half.
29:34Westview is a hospital for the mentally ill
29:36and the criminally insane.
29:37Novak was a patient.
29:38Glass was there looking for a patsy.
29:39And whoever killed Bob
29:40saw an abandoned building and was like,
29:42that's a perfect place to dump a body.
29:46What?
29:48Or there was some dark energy
29:49that drew evil to it.
29:51You really believe that?
29:53I'm Catholic.
29:54I was raised on demons
29:55in the battle against Satan's minions.
29:57Well, I was raised on the scientific method.
29:59Okay, so if it's also explainable,
30:02spend the night there.
30:03I dare you.
30:04Pass.
30:06You're scared.
30:07No, I'm not scared.
30:09One could argue the drugs in a hospital
30:11are hardly surprising,
30:12even hallucinogens.
30:13Over the decades,
30:14they have been used in experimental medicine.
30:16No, true.
30:16Uh, just the type and volume
30:19is what's set off.
30:19What are you doing?
30:21Conducting an interview.
30:22Could you please come back in like an hour?
30:24You said you'd talk to me for my documentary.
30:27You have a documentary?
30:28Well, it's my story.
30:29Who better to tell it?
30:30Well, no problem.
30:31I can sit down with you
30:32just as soon as we're done here.
30:33Oh, I wish.
30:34It has to be exclusive.
30:35You can't do both.
30:37She's right.
30:37It has to be exclusive.
30:38Either you're doing my doc
30:39or you're doing hers,
30:40and we have a long history.
30:41I was almost his daughter-in-law,
30:43so suck it.
30:45I'm going to have to go with her.
30:47I'm sorry.
30:48Seriously?
30:49I have a BAFTA.
30:52Okay.
30:53Fine.
30:54Let's wrap it up.
30:55This way.
30:55The set's this way.
30:56It's better lighting over there.
30:57We got a great team.
30:59Um, we are going to need our mic back.
31:00Yes.
31:01Oh, yeah, of course.
31:02We have our own.
31:03Sorry.
31:04I'll see you guys around.
31:05Good luck.
31:06Can you talk about, uh,
31:06what else I found inside the secret lab?
31:08Oh, right.
31:09Well, uh, you did find some paperwork.
31:12Explosive paperwork.
31:14Evidence of a secret government program.
31:16Close the door softly, please.
31:18Well, I don't know that we can say that for sure.
31:20Oh, we could.
31:24My name is Abigail Tierney.
31:26I'm currently trapped inside a secret lab
31:28at Westview Psychiatric.
31:29All attempts at escape have proven fruitless.
31:32If I am to die here,
31:33I leave you this footage
31:34along with my in-process documentary
31:37as evidence of my hunt for the truth
31:40about the evils that inhabit this accursed place.
31:45What's this?
31:49Cool.
31:50That's when I realized
31:51I'd uncovered something more haunting
31:52than any ghost or serial killer.
31:55I'd uncovered a conspiracy
31:56that went to the very highest levels
31:59of our government.
31:59The government files Abigail found
32:03detailed classified plans
32:06and methods for human experimentation.
32:09What type of experimentation?
32:11Are you familiar with MKUltra?
32:13Of course.
32:13It was a top-secret CIA program
32:15in the 50s and 60s
32:16using experimental drugs
32:18to aid in interrogation techniques.
32:20It was straight-up mind control.
32:21I mean, they used high doses
32:22of psychoactive drugs
32:24like LSD, sodium pentothal,
32:26which is also known
32:27as a truth serum.
32:29The program ran from 1953 to 1973
32:33before it was shut down
32:34following a public outcry.
32:36I mean, all the facilities were closed.
32:38There's no evidence
32:39the CIA ever used Westview
32:40as a base of operations,
32:41so what were top-secret
32:42MKUltra documents doing there?
32:44Good question.
32:46We started digging
32:46into the Choroba files
32:47Abigail had found
32:48and one name kept popping up
32:50again and again.
32:52Dr. Julius Erickson.
32:54He was one of the psychologists
32:55contracted by the CIA
32:57to conduct experimental research.
33:00And after MKUltra shut down,
33:02he took a new job.
33:03Director of Westview.
33:05Dr. Erickson ran the hospital
33:06for 20 years,
33:07and from the notes we uncovered,
33:09it seems clear he continued
33:11his own research in private,
33:12trying to use
33:13the psychological breakthroughs
33:14from MKUltra
33:15to further his own research
33:17into mind-altering drugs.
33:18I assume he used those drugs
33:19on Westview patients?
33:21Yeah, at first.
33:22But then he started
33:23using them on himself,
33:24believing he had found
33:25the key to improving
33:26his own mind.
33:27He hadn't.
33:27And in a last moment
33:29of lucidity,
33:29Erickson decided
33:30to destroy his research.
33:32He dumped the chemicals
33:33outside the building
33:34where they started
33:34to slowly seep
33:35into the structure.
33:36And some of the drugs
33:37were potent enough
33:38to be absorbed
33:39simply by touch,
33:40even when diluted.
33:42Erickson committed himself
33:43to Westview shortly after.
33:44Never said another word.
33:46He died in 2020.
33:48Did the CIA ever find out
33:49what Erickson was doing?
33:50Not that we found,
33:52but it's not like the agency
33:53ever returns our phone calls.
33:57Anyone who's studied the past
33:58knows that the CIA
33:59has a history
34:00of violent cover-ups.
34:02MKUltra might have become public,
34:04but that doesn't mean
34:05there still aren't secrets
34:06to protect.
34:07By uncovering
34:08Dr. Erickson's connection
34:09to Westview
34:10and discovering Bob's body,
34:12I've put myself in danger.
34:15But the best way
34:16to protect yourself
34:16is with the truth.
34:18Which brings me to
34:19Carolyn McGrath.
34:21Turns out Carolyn
34:22is the one who hired Bob
34:24to go to Westview.
34:25And I need to find out why
34:26before it's too late.
34:28I think her...
34:29What the hell?
34:41We got lucky.
34:42A woman in the neighborhood
34:43heard a commotion
34:44and filmed Abigail's abduction.
34:47Thanks to them,
34:47we were able to track the vehicle.
34:49Where'd it go?
34:50Back to where it all began.
34:52Westview.
34:52Police!
34:59Dropped a weapon.
35:00On the ground.
35:02Hands on your head.
35:03Turn around.
35:04Walk towards my partner.
35:06Hands behind your back.
35:08You okay?
35:09Yeah, totally fine.
35:10Carl's going through it, though.
35:12I never really even knew my mother.
35:14Does anyone?
35:14Really?
35:15What is going on here?
35:17Well, uh,
35:17my friend Carl here
35:18was being pressured
35:20into killing me.
35:20Um, but then we got to talking, right?
35:23Yeah, and I couldn't.
35:24Yeah.
35:24Okay, but pressure by who?
35:26Um, my boss.
35:29Meg Davidson.
35:30Who?
35:30The current director
35:31at Westview Psychiatric.
35:35But she started working
35:37at the hospital
35:37long after Julius Erickson
35:39went mad,
35:40and she has no links
35:40to the CIA,
35:41so why would she try
35:42to kill Abigail?
35:43To cover up Bob's murder.
35:45And who killed Bob?
35:46Can you introduce yourself?
35:48Oh, yes.
35:49My name is Caroline McGrath.
35:50You hired my friend
35:52Bob Medina
35:53because you had questions
35:55about your friend
35:55Winona's treatment
35:56at Westview, right?
35:57Yes.
35:58Of course, everyone thought
35:59I was just being paranoid,
36:00but Bob didn't.
36:02And it got him killed.
36:03You work with
36:04Winona Baker, right?
36:05Yes.
36:06Um, she was hospitalized
36:08with depression
36:09by her daughter.
36:10Seemed like therapy
36:11and some medication
36:13would help her,
36:14but Winona got worse
36:15fast.
36:17Lost track of reality.
36:18She exhibited signs
36:20of psychosis,
36:22paranoia, dissociation.
36:24By that point,
36:25I wondered whether
36:25a transfer to a new facility
36:27might be in her best interest.
36:29And then?
36:29Uh, the director
36:30informed me
36:31that Winona's family
36:32had gotten a judge
36:34to order a conservatorship,
36:35and they wanted her
36:36to stay for good.
36:38You were suspicious.
36:39Winona always had her funks,
36:41but she wasn't crazy
36:42until that place
36:44made her lose her mind.
36:45And that proved
36:46to be the break you needed.
36:47Yeah, when we started
36:48looking into it,
36:49it turned out
36:50a significant number
36:51of Westview patients
36:53were wealthy,
36:54and a high percentage
36:55were ordered
36:56into conservatorship.
36:57No, uh,
36:58conservatorship
36:58is extremely difficult
37:00to get for an adult
37:01because of the potential
37:02abuse of power.
37:03It gives one party
37:04legal authority
37:05over certain aspects
37:07of another person's life,
37:07including managing
37:08all of their assets.
37:09It's like what happened
37:10to Britney Spears.
37:11Manage their assets.
37:13Rich persons speak
37:14for controlling
37:14someone else's money.
37:16Yes.
37:17And money makes people
37:18do crazy things.
37:20Like, um,
37:21poison their family
37:22member's water
37:23with a chemical cocktail
37:24so potent it has
37:25the potential
37:25to permanently damage
37:26the human psyche.
37:30Yeah.
37:31Just like that.
37:33I was supposed
37:34to inherit,
37:35but, um,
37:36after my break
37:38with reality,
37:39my dad cut me off,
37:41and, uh,
37:41my brother got everything.
37:42What's everything?
37:43Oh, about, um,
37:45$12 million.
37:46Must have been hard
37:47going from that kind
37:48of wealth to nannying.
37:49Oh, no.
37:50No, it was a blessing.
37:52I, I really think
37:53that helping children
37:54was my calling.
37:56Hmm.
37:57Once we found the pattern,
37:58we started interviewing
37:59some of the families.
38:00A little pressure,
38:01and they cracked.
38:01And with the search warrant,
38:03we found the gun
38:04used to kill Bob Adina
38:05and director
38:06of Davidson's Closet.
38:07She'd been running
38:07her scam for a decade.
38:09Turns out she was
38:10Dr. Erickson's therapist
38:12in the last years
38:13of his life.
38:14He must have told her
38:15about his experiments.
38:17In exploring
38:17his old lab,
38:19she'd uncovered
38:20the tainted water,
38:21realized its potential.
38:22Yeah, we had her on
38:23murder, fraud,
38:25elder abuse,
38:26kidnapping,
38:27attempted murder,
38:28poisoning.
38:29Miss Davidson,
38:29would you like
38:30to make a comment?
38:32You know,
38:32this might be
38:33your last chance
38:34to tell your side
38:34of the story.
38:37Look at all
38:37these people watching.
38:39The state ordered
38:40a full investigation
38:41into every conservatorship
38:43Westview ordered.
38:44God willing,
38:45the victims will get
38:45their rights and assets back.
38:47And Westview itself
38:48has been closed for good.
38:50But the lawsuits
38:51are just starting,
38:52not to mention
38:52the rest of the legal
38:53ramifications.
38:54I'm glad this is
38:56getting so much attention.
38:57These poor,
38:59abused patients
39:00can finally get justice.
39:01Do you think it could
39:02impact your case at all?
39:03Certainly gives my defense
39:04a fresh coat of paint.
39:05The jury won't listen
39:07to reason
39:08because I am innocent.
39:11Perhaps they will listen
39:12to the tragic story
39:13of a simple tradesman
39:14falling victim
39:16to a poisoned environment
39:18that chemically
39:19affected my psyche.
39:21And what did
39:23that environment
39:24make you do?
39:25Who can say?
39:26Certainly not me.
39:27I wasn't in my right mind.
39:31Yeah, the poisoned water
39:33was only found
39:34in the abandoned psych ward.
39:36No vending machines
39:37left to fill there, right?
39:39At this point,
39:39I must confess,
39:42I did go inside
39:43that abandoned ward
39:44back when I was a kid.
39:46My father's warnings,
39:47they didn't scare me away.
39:49They only made me
39:49more desperate to see.
39:52And whatever lurked inside
39:53must have infected me.
39:58Glasser's claiming
40:03that the presence
40:04of those drugs
40:05would absolve him
40:06of any alleged responsibility
40:07for the murders.
40:08There is no way
40:09that defense is going to work.
40:10We have Glasser
40:11dead to rights.
40:12Are you sure about that?
40:15Yeah.
40:16Hey, hey, sorry.
40:30I know we talked about me
40:31not recording interviews
40:32in here,
40:33but Raj mentioned
40:34he needed a space
40:35with great acoustics.
40:37And, um,
40:37and you know,
40:38we're acting,
40:38we're shutting it down.
40:39We're shutting it down.
40:40Shut it, shut it down.
40:41Shutting it down.
40:42Copy.
40:42Hi, sorry.
40:45She said this was cool.
40:46You're going to help me
40:46get these in the van, right?
40:47Yeah, I'll be right there.
40:50Next time.
40:52Handcuffs and squad cars.
40:53Yeah, totally understandable.
40:57Thanks again
40:58for going exclusive with me.
41:00Seriously,
41:00this talk is going to be huge.
41:02I hope so.
41:03You deserve something good
41:04after what you've been through.
41:05How are you holding up?
41:06Oh, I'm fine.
41:08I'm happy to have
41:09something to focus on.
41:11When I've been through
41:11some scary times,
41:13I have been guilty
41:14of using my work
41:15as my therapy,
41:17but if there's, uh,
41:18if there's ever a time
41:18you need someone to talk to...
41:20Thank you, really,
41:21but I already have
41:21a great therapist.
41:23One with zero history
41:24at Westview.
41:25Excellent.
41:28You know,
41:28there's still something
41:29I can't figure out.
41:30How did you know
41:31that the PI was working
41:33before Caroline McGrath?
41:34Oh, Bob told me
41:36while we were stuck in the lab.
41:38He got chatty
41:39once he opened up.
41:40I have that effect
41:41on people.
41:44We had to come back
41:45because our job
41:46isn't finished.
41:47This hospital
41:47has housed killers,
41:48evil experiments,
41:49and perhaps
41:50the supernatural.
41:51Our job as investigators
41:53is to collect
41:53and present questions
41:55and possibilities.
41:57Interpretation, however,
41:58solely belongs with you.
42:00Did Westview really...
42:01Should we check that out?
42:10That might be good.
42:13You know what?
42:14Me too.
42:17Oh!
42:18Oh, God!
42:20Yeah!
42:37Oh!
42:38Oh!
42:38Oh!
42:38Oh!
42:39Oh!
42:42Oh!
42:47Oh!
42:47Oh!
42:48Damn it.
