00:00:14The
00:00:14peroxide and Vaseline, very practical.
00:00:17The rose oil would help the scarring fade faster.
00:00:21But you should know, Miss White, scars are not marks of shame.
00:00:25They're a warrior's medals.
00:00:27I am here to evaluate your mental state, Dr. Lorenz.
00:00:30Please just answer the questions.
00:00:33Of course.
00:00:34That's the job.
00:00:35By all means, ask away.
00:00:37How do you typically respond, physically or emotionally, when you start to feel...
00:00:45...inappropriate thoughts about a patient?
00:00:47Hmm, thinking about those impulses makes me warm.
00:00:53You know, this collar is far too tight.
00:00:56It's pressing against my carotid artery.
00:00:58It makes it difficult to think clearly.
00:01:00Do you mind?
00:01:16Uh, your heart's racing.
00:01:19Mine too.
00:01:21Looks like the room's heating up.
00:01:27Just answer the questions directly, Dr. Lorenz.
00:01:30You can keep me tied up here if you want.
00:01:32But if you're here to take responsibility for me, I suggest you start acting like it.
00:01:39You can start by treating me like a person, not a wild animal.
00:01:53Are you like this on all your first dates?
00:01:55Same nervous posture, same shortness of breath?
00:01:59What is irrelevant, and you are crossing the line.
00:02:04You wear those high collars on all your dates, but you have no idea those boys are drooling over that
00:02:10black lace bra.
00:02:11Come on.
00:02:12Enough.
00:02:14Underneath, you're so afraid, terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:02:20You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:02:23You stop projecting your vulgar fantasies onto me.
00:02:26Come here, Aaron. Sit on my lap.
00:02:29You've been eyeing this chair since the moment you walk through that door.
00:02:32The mere thought alone gets you going a million times faster than the passenger seats of those
00:02:37little boys' cars, doesn't it?
00:02:40Come on.
00:02:45Sit on my lap.
00:02:50To answer your original question, a smart predator disguises himself as prey.
00:02:57Welcome to my hunting ground, Ms. White.
00:03:11Aaron!
00:03:12You ungrateful little tramp.
00:03:14I raise you, and this is all the thanks I get.
00:03:17What the hell am I supposed to do with this?
00:03:19This is my workplace.
00:03:20Can we just talk about this at home, okay?
00:03:21Home?
00:03:22The Lone Sharks want to saw my legs off, and you want me to go home?
00:03:26What did you do with the rest of it, huh?
00:03:28No, I-
00:03:28Spending him on some guy?
00:03:31You shamelessly slut.
00:03:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:03:33I didn't, okay?
00:03:33Just please, let's just talk about-
00:03:37You're so afraid and terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:03:43First of all, you didn't raise me.
00:03:45I put myself through school while you just sat around and spent my mother's insurance money.
00:03:50Second, that money I gave you was charity, not an obligation.
00:03:54And starting today, that charity is closed.
00:04:03And if you ever touch me again, I will have you arrested for assault.
00:04:11You're gonna pay for this, one way or another.
00:04:15Either I get the money, or you're gonna be earning it in your back in a whorehouse!
00:04:24Your evaluation report.
00:04:26It's a complete mess, not to mention the little matter of you leaving it behind with the most
00:04:31dangerous patient in this facility.
00:04:33I'm sorry, Director.
00:04:34It was a rookie mistake.
00:04:35Oh, no.
00:04:36No, it's more than that.
00:04:38Arring out your dirty family laundry for the entire hospital to see?
00:04:41Deeply unprofessional, Erin.
00:04:43Now, how can an intern who can't even handle her own life
00:04:46possibly be fit to manage our highest risk patient?
00:04:52However, Mr. Seville, who owns this institution,
00:04:57happens to have a soft spot for ambitious talent.
00:05:01If you were to deliver a truly perfect final report on Victor,
00:05:07I could put in a good word for you.
00:05:09You see, your stepfather's suggestion of earning it,
00:05:12crude as it was, I have to admit it has potential.
00:05:15My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:05:21Fine.
00:05:22I will give you a report you'll never forget.
00:05:27The press is crawling all over us about Lorenz.
00:05:31The security costs of keeping him here are astronomical.
00:05:35He's far too dangerous to release.
00:05:37Who'd be responsible?
00:05:40Warden Graves, I think I have a solution.
00:05:47The proposal for a one-year, one-on-one guardianship-based therapy for Victor K. Lorenz?
00:05:55What's this?
00:05:56Move him from this facility to a private, secure residence.
00:05:59I will be his sole 24-7 guardian responsible for his psychological treatment and behavioral monitoring.
00:06:05And I will sign a waiver of unlimited liability.
00:06:07Everything he does outside of this hospital will be my sole responsibility.
00:06:14She's insane.
00:06:16This is absurd.
00:06:17Wait!
00:06:18This proposal, it would drastically cut security costs.
00:06:21True.
00:06:22We could spin it to the media as the new humane therapy model.
00:06:27Honestly, it's perfect PR.
00:06:28Most importantly, if anything goes wrong, she takes the fall.
00:06:33The hospital, the board, we'd be completely insulated.
00:06:37Fine.
00:06:39Passed.
00:06:40You want the responsibility, Ms. White?
00:06:41It's yours.
00:06:44For better or for worse.
00:06:51Why is he even wearing his mask?
00:06:53Isn't he just a psychiatric patient?
00:06:55They say his mouth is his most dangerous weapon.
00:06:57He drives his victims mad long before he ever lays hands on them.
00:07:00He destroys them with his words.
00:07:24My job here is done.
00:07:26Good luck.
00:07:52Dr. Lorenz?
00:08:01If the patient is unresponsive, the guardian must assess for environmental risk.
00:08:33What have I gotten myself into?
00:09:00Is it part of the guardian's duties now to look through a patient's personal effects?
00:09:08I was scanning the area, looking for hazards.
00:09:14Your pupils say otherwise.
00:09:22Why do I feel like this around him?
00:09:26It's like I'm captivated.
00:09:28Intrigued?
00:09:30I wanted to see how it would look on you.
00:09:32Not just admiring the engraving, were we?
00:09:36Cold metal on the neck.
00:09:39More of a thrill than you expected.
00:09:45Your definition of thrill is always tied to control.
00:09:52Is this gift your mark of ownership?
00:09:54Ownership?
00:09:57No, Aaron.
00:09:58You're mine.
00:10:01Because I'm creating you.
00:10:04Now then, time for my checkup.
00:10:07Feels like my temperature's spiking.
00:10:10You should check.
00:10:17Come on now.
00:10:18You're the guardian.
00:10:19Go ahead.
00:10:20Take my temperature.
00:10:32I won't bite.
00:10:34Or is there something else that scares you?
00:10:40I will need skin contact for that, Dr. Loretz.
00:10:43If that's okay.
00:10:5598 beats per minute.
00:10:57How would you?
00:10:57Experience.
00:10:59You're using physical contact to blur the line.
00:11:02That is textbook manipulation.
00:11:07What is this then?
00:11:10Anything?
00:11:12What is this?
00:11:13The utter blessing collapse of guardian patient diary?
00:11:18No, no, no, no.
00:11:19I cannot do this.
00:11:21Okay?
00:11:21There must be limit.
00:11:23Call me the truth, Aaron.
00:11:26Do you really want me to stop?
00:11:28Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:11:34Do you really want me to stop?
00:11:36Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:11:58Okay, so Euston was so crazy and that's her, the one who got Lobo fired?
00:12:03I heard she played dirty.
00:12:05Shady sluts.
00:12:07Don't say that.
00:12:08She's Victor Lorentz's guardian now.
00:12:10Who dare mess with her?
00:12:17I need to get through this project with Victor to secure that permanent position
00:12:21and it is what I've always dreamed of.
00:12:24And I can't let him lure me into his dangerous games.
00:12:36It was you, wasn't it?
00:12:38You and that psycho!
00:12:40I don't know what you're talking about.
00:12:42Get off me!
00:12:43Don't pretend you don't know.
00:12:45I was fired, terminated all because of some anonymous
00:12:48bullshit embezzlement file and don't try to tell me that that's a coincidence.
00:12:52I don't know anything about that.
00:12:54Don't know?
00:12:55You smell like him.
00:12:59Oh Aaron, you really are something.
00:13:02You are insane!
00:13:04I'm insane!
00:13:05You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion!
00:13:08You're the psycho bitch here!
00:13:11Let me see.
00:13:12Let me see what kind of march that wreath left on you.
00:13:16Oh, did he use a collar, huh?
00:13:17A whip, did he?
00:13:21Oh, did he use a collar, huh?
00:13:22A whip, did he?
00:13:29Well, it looks like your career and your manhood end on the same day.
00:13:33You, you just wait, you bitch!
00:13:36I'll tell everyone, I'll tell them all what kind of filthy deals you're making with that, that monster!
00:13:51I'm best on my files.
00:13:53Victor, what are you doing behind my back?
00:14:00I expected you sooner.
00:14:12I'll tell you later.
00:14:18Director Logan, he was using your name to order 10 times the normal dosage.
00:14:23Oh my god, he was skimming a fortune on kickbacks.
00:14:26Why would you use my name?
00:14:33When your name is tied to mine, my heart eats faster.
00:14:53What is this?
00:14:54Put it on.
00:14:57Put it on.
00:14:59A smart predator learns to disguise himself as prey.
00:15:17It's time for your treatment to begin.
00:15:37Take off your clothes.
00:15:39Can we take it on your side.
00:15:44Can we take it on your side?
00:15:50What do you do?
00:15:51What do you do?
00:15:51What do you do?
00:15:52Well, wait.
00:15:52You look for your name.
00:15:53Good, bye.
00:15:53How come on about this?
00:15:54Yeah.
00:15:55I am looking for you.
00:15:55Yeah, all they work.
00:15:55I want to die.
00:16:00It's a great place to do, then.
00:16:01Okay.
00:16:01I want to do this.
00:16:02Have you got to do this.
00:16:02I want to do this.
00:16:02Yeah, the story.
00:16:08I want to try to do this.
00:16:08No.
00:16:53Record the objective state of your body.
00:16:57I don't know what you mean.
00:17:05Do not interpret.
00:17:06Record.
00:17:11No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:13No, no.
00:17:15Let me out!
00:17:17Let me out!
00:17:17Victor, let me out!
00:17:19Open the door!
00:17:21Victor!
00:17:22Open the door!
00:17:23No, no, no.
00:17:28Worthless trash!
00:17:30Just like your deadbeat dad!
00:17:33My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:17:39Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
00:17:43You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion!
00:17:49Take me out.
00:17:52Your treatment has just begun.
00:18:05So, Aaron, I need a progress report on the Lorenz Guardianship project.
00:18:10Of course, Warden Graves.
00:18:12The evaluation is proceeding as planned and Dr. Lorenz has been very... cooperative.
00:18:19Hmm.
00:18:20Do you consider this cooperative?
00:18:26I, um...
00:18:42Do not cry, emotional report.
00:18:46Report your current physiological and psychological state now.
00:18:49My heart is...
00:18:52It's beating really fast.
00:18:54And I cannot...
00:18:55It's really cold.
00:18:59And I want my mom and I just want to die.
00:19:02Not specific enough.
00:19:03I want data.
00:19:04Don't let your fear overcome you, Aaron.
00:19:06Fight it.
00:19:06You're strong.
00:19:07Report again.
00:19:11Heart rate is elevated to...
00:19:13144 beats per minute.
00:19:15Respiration is shallow.
00:19:16Temperature is elevated.
00:19:18Psychologically experiencing childhood trauma flashbacks.
00:19:22Accompanied by intense feelings of...
00:19:24And an...
00:19:25Suicidal ideation.
00:19:31The fear is triggered by a dual stimulus of claustrophobia and verbal abuse.
00:19:40Congratulations.
00:19:40You didn't drown in your fear.
00:19:42You observed it.
00:19:55Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.
00:19:57Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.
00:20:11Take me.
00:20:18Back to the
00:20:19Tonight the Seville family is throwing a private art exhibition.
00:20:23Seville...
00:20:24Is in the owner of the hospital?
00:20:26What would I possibly do there?
00:20:28Step into the spotlight and...
00:20:30Show them...
00:20:31That you're not a mere intern they can humiliate and overpower.
00:20:35Or...
00:20:36Simply stay here and let those hyenas tear you to pieces.
00:20:39Your choice.
00:20:49Oh, my God.
00:21:20Ignore them.
00:21:24Think of them like specimens in a frame.
00:21:27You are the only living thing in this room.
00:21:36Victor!
00:21:38I never thought you'd willingly leave your little cave.
00:21:40Occasionally, one must check up on one's past acquisitions to ensure they're being well-maintained.
00:21:47Oh, and this is your latest project?
00:21:51Seems like a decent pick.
00:21:56I, um, I don't know anything about this.
00:21:58This is, um...
00:21:59Look, Aaron, I don't care what some garbage tabloid prints about your personal relations.
00:22:05I do care about this hospital's professional image and ethical standards.
00:22:11Don't you?
00:22:12You're a smart girl, but I think you're forgetting something.
00:22:15The board assigned you to be his guardian, not for you to be controlled by him.
00:22:21Sir, I am not.
00:22:22I don't care what kind of game you and Victor are playing.
00:22:25You need to remember who you are.
00:22:28You need to keep your professional distance from him.
00:22:31I would hate to see your career end because of a filthy scandal like this.
00:22:36Now get out!
00:22:44Dr. White, your car is here.
00:22:50Isn't that Victor Lorenz?
00:22:52He actually came to pick her up!
00:22:54Guardian?
00:22:55Yeah, right.
00:22:56More like his sugar baby.
00:22:57I don't understand what she's doing with that madman anyway.
00:23:00They each get what they want.
00:23:01You know he was rumored to be a candidate for warden?
00:23:04And he has money.
00:23:09Are you insane?
00:23:12I don't know what you mean.
00:23:13What are you doing here?
00:23:15I'm sure you saw the news.
00:23:16Of course.
00:23:17A mediocre bit of drivel written to excite a group of idiots.
00:23:21But this is my job.
00:23:23My reputation.
00:23:24Everybody at this hospital already thinks I'm some shameless whore.
00:23:27Your reputation?
00:23:30You mean that hollow shell that had you wearing those high collars and apologizing for breathing?
00:23:35Aaron, that shell has been shattered.
00:23:42This is for you.
00:23:46Achoo!
00:23:48Oh God, I'm so sorry.
00:23:51Such a beautiful dress.
00:23:52And now look.
00:23:53It's completely ruined.
00:23:56Trust me.
00:23:57This wine is still cleaner than your new daddy's hands.
00:24:00And where they've been.
00:24:14Miss Saville.
00:24:16Psychologically, an overly aggressive posture usually stems from a deep-seated fear of one's own unstable position.
00:24:24Are you afraid that I'm going to replace you?
00:24:29Victor!
00:24:31Miss White.
00:24:32Lovely to see you.
00:24:37It's been a long time, Victor.
00:24:40After your unfortunate little incident, I really didn't expect to see you out socially again.
00:24:46An artist often finds inspiration for his masterpiece in his failed projects.
00:24:56Miss White, I do apologize on behalf of my daughter.
00:25:01She will, of course, cover the cost of the cleaning.
00:25:04Now listen, we at the Institute have been watching your little guardianship project with great interest.
00:25:12I want you to know, if you come up against any problems, please come to me directly.
00:25:18Now, if you'll excuse us, enjoy your evening.
00:25:24I am his perfect masterpiece.
00:25:33I'm going to get us a drink.
00:25:39My name is Erin White.
00:25:41I'm Dr. Lorenzo's...
00:25:43Guardian?
00:25:44I must say, Victor hasn't changed a bit.
00:25:47Always had a thing for broken souls.
00:25:50But I'm curious.
00:25:51Is your therapy all above board?
00:25:53I mean, you live together, right?
00:25:55So where's the line?
00:25:57Is he allowed to touch you if he wants?
00:26:00My methods are all within the accepted norms.
00:26:04Biofeedback, psychological suggestion...
00:26:07Darling, drop the Guardian Act.
00:26:10You're just his new toy.
00:26:16This is a beautiful dress.
00:26:19But it's not...
00:26:21you.
00:26:23Let me guess.
00:26:25Victor picked it out.
00:26:27He did.
00:26:29But you know what?
00:26:30I very much like it.
00:26:33Achoo!
00:26:35Oh, God.
00:26:36I am so sorry.
00:26:38Such a beautiful dress.
00:26:42This physical is over.
00:26:44In today's emotional report, I expect to see the truth.
00:27:01I've realized I might just be an experiment.
00:27:05A clumsy imitation meant to replace Isabella.
00:27:12I want to break my soul, too.
00:27:19Cause I would die to give what I take.
00:27:29Illusions still on my skin.
00:27:32I want to...
00:27:34I want to be holy.
00:28:01Who am I?
00:28:21You are nothing but a cheap disposable coffee.
00:28:24Just wait. He'll get bored of you soon and then he'll destroy you himself.
00:28:49Lie down. Routine physical.
00:29:08Oh. Temperature 98.6. Heart rate 78.
00:29:15Oh. I'm seeing a murmur, Dr. Lorenz.
00:29:19And irregularity?
00:29:23I feel perfectly fine, Ms. White.
00:29:26Good. Then we'll just have to continue the assessment.
00:29:31What are you trying to prove, Erin?
00:29:33That what Isabella said is true?
00:29:36I'm not.
00:29:37That she's more beautiful than you?
00:29:39That her family is richer than your stepfather?
00:29:41That I would prefer her over you?
00:29:45Do you report your current state of feeling, Dr. Lorenz?
00:29:51Stop.
00:29:53You know, you are such a hypocrite.
00:29:55I saw the way that she looks at you.
00:29:57Just waiting for your next command.
00:30:00Is that what gets you off?
00:30:02Mm-hmm.
00:30:03Do you prefer Isabella?
00:30:07Is this for her?
00:30:16No.
00:30:18If I'm going to be his work of art, then I am going to be his one and only masterpiece.
00:30:51Here's my report.
00:30:54And I'll admit it.
00:30:55I was jealous of Isabella.
00:30:57I wanted to be a masterpiece like her.
00:30:59But the thing that I'm afraid of most is that I'm not even qualified to replace her.
00:31:05You're wrong.
00:31:13Isabella was a failed draft from early in my career.
00:31:18A ruined canvas.
00:31:21But you, Erin.
00:31:26You are the one-of-a-kind, perfect masterpiece that I have spent my life searching for.
00:31:31A masterpiece?
00:31:33This is not meant to mark my property.
00:31:37This is a crown that I am bestowing upon you.
00:31:44From this day forward, you are my singular work of art.
00:31:59I have a better idea.
00:32:00I have a better idea.
00:32:00I don't know.
00:32:01Let's go.
00:32:03Let's go.
00:32:12I didn't, you're not.
00:32:15You're not.
00:32:17You're not.
00:32:19No.
00:32:29This is not meant to be a piece of art.
00:32:30You're not too.
00:32:38uh
00:33:08Aaron, look at me.
00:33:12Victor, I might really be your only masterpiece.
00:33:22I never love Aaron.
00:33:26Sometimes I feel like the truth has been presented.
00:33:34In an artistic way.
00:33:59Say my name.
00:34:01Using your new identity.
00:34:03Say my name.
00:34:08Victor.
00:34:10My artist.
00:34:13Take me.
00:34:15Oh, my God.
00:34:19Oh, my God.
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:31Oh, my God.
00:34:31Oh, my God.
00:34:31Oh, my God.
00:34:32Oh, my God.
00:34:32Oh, my God.
00:34:34Oh, my God.
00:34:38Oh, my God.
00:34:41Oh, my God.
00:34:47Ms. White, these pictures are all over the internet.
00:34:51You have made Black Mountain Asylum a laughing stock.
00:34:54What do you have to say for yourself?
00:34:55I...
00:34:59I have nothing to say.
00:35:02Very well.
00:35:04Given the fact that your grossly inappropriate relationship with your patient has caused
00:35:11irreparable damage to this institution's reputation.
00:35:14This committee has voted unanimously to suspend your internship and to terminate all treatment
00:35:21of Mr. Victor Lorentz.
00:35:26Effective immediately.
00:35:29I'm about to lose everything that I have ever worked for.
00:35:32How could I have done this?
00:35:36Say my name.
00:35:38What was I thinking and more importantly, if I had a chance to go back, would I do it
00:35:43again?
00:35:44Of course, there is a way out.
00:35:48We're willing to give you another chance.
00:35:53This is a sworn statement that Victor Lorentz acted against your will, using his status and
00:36:00professional expertise to psychologically manipulate you into a coerced, non-consensual contact.
00:36:07All of this required is your signature.
00:36:23You want me to lie?
00:36:25It's not a lie.
00:36:26You're a victim.
00:36:27Sign this and not only will we restore your position, but we will use all of our legal
00:36:33resources to get you the justice you so sorely deserve.
00:36:37And to put that monster away where he belongs.
00:36:51I refuse.
00:36:52What did you say?
00:36:53I take full responsibility and ownership over my actions.
00:36:57And this has nothing to do with him.
00:36:59Who do you think you're protecting?
00:37:01You're only destroying yourself.
00:37:03Without this hospital, you're not even an intern.
00:37:06You're nothing.
00:37:08What I am has nothing to do with you.
00:37:13Fine.
00:37:14Get out.
00:37:15I promise you, you'll pay a painful price for your stupidity today.
00:37:32We're in.
00:37:33What do you want?
00:37:35A little field trip.
00:37:36Do you actually believe you're protecting your precious artists?
00:37:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:37:42Do you want to know how many copies there are of that one-of-a-kind crown you're so proud
00:37:46of?
00:37:46Victor loves collecting broken souls.
00:37:49But did you know what he really wants?
00:37:51Is to exhibit them?
00:37:54Get in, you pathetic little stray.
00:37:56And put your collar on.
00:37:59Yes.
00:38:06Let's get out here.
00:38:10You're right.
00:38:15I'll get out here.
00:38:18It's not a secret.
00:38:19I hope you've got to.
00:38:19I can.
00:38:19Oh, you're so proud.
00:38:26I should love that one.
00:38:27Do you want to die?
00:38:28I can't see you.
00:38:29I can.
00:38:38Sorry.
00:39:00This is Victor's private playground. Everyone here is rich, powerful, and they love Victor's art.
00:39:14No. No, that can't be.
00:39:17See her?
00:39:19Three years ago, she tried to kill herself after her boss assaulted her. Victor saved her.
00:39:24Now she's that real estate tycoon's favorite little kitten.
00:39:28Victor has a talent for finding broken little dolls like you, piecing them back together just the way he likes,
00:39:36and then putting them on display here for the entertainment of others.
00:39:42You're next.
00:39:45No. No, he said that I was his only masterpiece.
00:39:49Masterpiece? Oh, darling.
00:39:52He said the same thing to me. To every other person here.
00:40:00He makes you feel special so that you willingly give him everything.
00:40:05You're lying.
00:40:07Am I?
00:40:12Here's the ticket to the final stage of your treatment.
00:40:16Every few months, Victor hosts an auction.
00:40:19The highest bidder gets to acquire the artwork for a while.
00:40:24And you, you look just about perfectly polished.
00:40:29I imagine that the next acquisition night, you'll be the main exhibit.
00:40:41Meet me at the, meet me at the, meet me at the, meet me at the station.
00:41:03Is this the final stage of my treatment?
00:41:06You polish me and then train me exactly how you want?
00:41:09And then sell me off to those perverts at your club?
00:41:13Isabella told you this?
00:41:15So you admitted it's true.
00:41:19Don't you think that low of me?
00:41:21You think I'm some monster and they were right to lock me away?
00:41:26Then kill me.
00:41:29Come on.
00:41:31Finish it.
00:41:33Do it.
00:41:36Do it.
00:41:38It's over.
00:41:40I'm done with this shit.
00:41:43No.
00:41:44And guess what, Victor?
00:41:46Your masterpiece is defective.
00:41:50Oh no, she has a mind of her own.
00:41:54And she is going to end this disgusting treatment.
00:42:02The polishing is not yet complete.
00:42:14What do you want?
00:42:15Aaron.
00:42:16Honey.
00:42:17You gotta help me.
00:42:18Please.
00:42:19Okay, well I don't have any money.
00:42:20Because I was fired.
00:42:22I'm in deep shit with some loan sharks.
00:42:24They're gonna kill me.
00:42:25Well that sounds like a you problem.
00:42:27No, no, no, no.
00:42:28Look.
00:42:29I know I've screwed up.
00:42:31And I'm sorry.
00:42:32But before I skip town, I need to give you what's left of your mind.
00:42:36Mom's things.
00:42:37I have them right here.
00:42:39You're gonna come take everything unless you come get this stuff now.
00:42:43Where are you?
00:42:44The old storage facility, west side.
00:42:47I'll text you the address.
00:42:48Aaron, I'm begging you.
00:42:50This will be the last time I see you.
00:43:10You came.
00:43:11You actually came.
00:43:13Rick, where is my mom's things?
00:43:14Yeah, um, over here.
00:43:25Not bad at all.
00:43:28Oh, see.
00:43:28I brought her just like I said I would.
00:43:30Now, about my debt.
00:43:32Get the hell out of my way.
00:43:35Rick Miller, you son of a bitch!
00:43:39Scream all you want sweetheart.
00:43:42Tonight you belong to me.
00:43:48You might as well stop fighting.
00:43:50Stick with me.
00:43:51You'll be set for life.
00:44:02Still got some fight left in you, huh?
00:44:05Guess you need to be taught a lesson.
00:44:07Don't touch me.
00:44:10Oh, look at this.
00:44:13Kinky.
00:44:15I like it.
00:44:25Who the fuck is this pretty boy?
00:44:42Oh, you want to play hero, big guy?
00:44:46Okay.
00:44:48Seems like you got a death wish.
00:44:57What are you-
00:44:58Ah!
00:44:59Ah!
00:45:00My hand!
00:45:01Ah!
00:45:04You!
00:45:05You!
00:45:06Stay away from us!
00:45:07Alright, we're with-
00:45:08Hit it up!
00:45:10Fucking kill him!
00:45:14Hit it up!
00:45:16Fucking kill him!
00:45:29Fucking kill him!
00:45:30You gotta understand it.
00:45:31It was them.
00:45:32They made me do it.
00:45:33Sir.
00:45:34Please.
00:45:35I'm scum.
00:45:36I know.
00:45:37I'm the scum of the fucking earth.
00:45:39But it won't happen again, I swear.
00:45:41Please!
00:45:42For Aaron's sake!
00:45:47It won't happen again, I swear.
00:45:49Please!
00:45:49For Aaron's sake!
00:45:50Please!
00:45:52I-I'm her father!
00:45:53You can't-
00:45:54I'm her goddamn father!
00:46:03Victor, don't-
00:46:06He touched you.
00:46:10Which hand did you use to touch her?
00:46:12No, I-I didn't touch her.
00:46:20No!
00:46:44Don't move.
00:46:56Mom.
00:46:58This is all my fault.
00:47:01I shouldn't have went after him.
00:47:08Why aren't you saying anything?
00:47:10Isabella was lying, why didn't you just say that?
00:47:21A one-of-a-kind work of art began to doubt its own value because of the words of some
00:47:26worthless person.
00:47:27And you think that requires an explanation?
00:47:29No.
00:47:32That is a flaw that requires correction.
00:48:14I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:48:19I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:48:43Remember this feeling.
00:48:46Your body is made for pleasure, not for fear.
00:49:10Feeling better?
00:49:12Mm-hmm.
00:49:14Good.
00:49:16But your treatment is not over yet.
00:49:23You just have to worry.
00:49:24You've been in for many years.
00:49:25You make your statement?
00:49:26I don't know.

00:53:40Selection criteria female age 20-25, subject must possess significant childhood trauma
00:53:47in a corresponding group of losing personality, phase 1, deconstruction, upon initial contact
00:53:55expose core traumas and deep-seated insecurities, induce the collapse of the subject's existing
00:54:01psychological defense mechanisms.
00:54:03You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:54:08Phase 2.
00:54:11Dependency transference.
00:54:13Find the identity of savior to the self, becoming the subject's sole spiritual anchor.
00:54:17Phase 3, imprinting.
00:54:21Bestow a symbolic object such as a collar.
00:54:25At this point, the subject will fully internalize her new identity as the artist's masterpiece.
00:54:58I'm a masterpiece.
00:55:00I have no soul.
00:55:02The artist gives me meaning.
00:55:04I can't live without the artist.
00:55:08I am a masterpiece.
00:55:33Well, well, well.
00:55:36Miss White.
00:55:42Breaking into a secure research lab in the middle of the night, no longer just breach of ethics.
00:55:48This is breaking the law.
00:55:51It's her.
00:55:52She's crazy.
00:55:53She's a lunatic victor.
00:55:55They pushed me down the stairs.
00:55:56They broke my leg.
00:56:10Well, that's what I do.
00:56:12I'm a liar.
00:56:14And a piece of shit.
00:56:16I'm a hypocrite.
00:56:22You see this?
00:56:24Typical psychotic episode.
00:56:27I'm afraid she's completely lost it.
00:56:31Miss White.
00:56:32Given that your next of kin has accused you of violent behavior, and that you're clearly
00:56:39in a state of extreme mental instability, I'm signing an emergency order for your compulsory
00:56:48admission.
00:56:49You and you are going to remember your faces.
00:56:59Gentlemen, take her away.
00:57:24Nurse.
00:57:26Nurse.
00:57:27There's been a mistake.
00:57:28I am not a patient here.
00:57:29My name is Erin White.
00:57:31I'm an intern.
00:57:32Half the people in here say they're someone else.
00:57:35Napoleon, Cleopatra, you're the first one to claim to be a doctor.
00:57:39I'm not lying, okay?
00:57:42Graves.
00:57:43Warden Graves.
00:57:44He framed me, okay?
00:57:45Just give me one phone call.
00:57:47Mr. Seville, he will tell you who I am.
00:57:49Mr. Seville, again.
00:57:51The last patient who thought she was his fiance is still singing opera in the room next door.
00:57:55Now open up.
00:57:56Time for your meds.
00:57:57No, no, no.
00:57:57I can't take those, okay?
00:57:58They will ruin my mind.
00:57:59No, I am not sick.
00:58:01Whether you're sick or not isn't up to you here.
00:58:05Hold her down.
00:58:08Hold her down.
00:58:11No, no, no, no, no.
00:58:14No, no, no, no, no.
00:58:40No, no, no, no.
00:58:45Isabella.
00:58:46Victor.
00:58:47Yes?
00:58:49I was starting to think you'd do something foolish on account of your little pet.
00:58:55Where is Erin?
00:58:57Oh, don't worry.
00:58:58She's in a very safe place, receiving the most professional care.
00:59:02No disturbances.
00:59:04No disturbances, no visitors.
00:59:05Just like you were all those years ago.
00:59:08Let her go.
00:59:09I will.
00:59:10On one condition.
00:59:15Come back to me.
00:59:16Let me be yours again tonight.
00:59:22You think you've won.
00:59:24Isabella, the biggest mistake you and your father ever made was taking it out on Erin.
00:59:31I made a mistake?
00:59:33How am I inferior to her?
00:59:36That replacement you scraped out of the garbage!
00:59:38With you, it's always just work.
00:59:41Every touch, every training session was just part of the job.
00:59:46But with Erin, I lose control of my heart.
00:59:49You're lying!
00:59:55If your heart won't belong to me, then I'll just keep your body forever and ever.
01:00:20Now, Erin, I'm giving you one last chance.
01:00:23Admit that you conspired with Victor to assault your stepfather.
01:00:28Volunteer for treatment.
01:00:30And I can make this easier on you.
01:00:34No, he wouldn't do that!
01:00:36It's touching you're still attempting to protect Mr. Lawrence.
01:00:40But he can't hear you.
01:00:41He's too busy being entertained by Miss Sabelle.
01:00:46What did you just say?
01:00:47Oh, come now, Erin.
01:00:49You can't believe you're anything more than a piece in their game.
01:00:54Now the game's over.
01:00:58Sign this, and at least you can live out your days as a human being in a hospital ward.
01:01:06Erin, you're so stupid.
01:01:10Commence the treatment.
01:01:19A smart predator disguises himself as prey.
01:01:24That's right.
01:01:25I have to survive.
01:01:27I have to survive.
01:01:28I have to wait for him to save the same time.
01:01:30I have to personally send all of you to hell.
01:01:45Very good.
01:01:48That's it, right?
01:01:49There we go.
01:02:03Open your mouth.
01:02:05Go.
01:02:20Open your mouth.
01:02:21Go.
01:02:56I don't need treatment.
01:02:59I'm not sick.
01:03:00Everyone line up.
01:03:01Back to your rooms.
01:03:05The artist gives me meaning.
01:03:25Don't touch me.
01:03:27I wasn't.
01:03:28I was just admiring your masterpiece.
01:03:35Did Victor give that to you?
01:03:37No, he gave me one too and he said that I was his one and only.
01:03:40No, I don't.
01:03:42I don't know.
01:03:43And then I found out that I was part of just some experiment called Project Familia.
01:03:49704, 217, what are you doing?
01:03:50Get in line.
01:04:17I don't know.
01:04:19I don't know.
01:04:20Elizabeth, what are you doing?
01:04:24Pygmalion is alive.
01:04:27You have to know me.
01:04:30It's okay.
01:04:30Just tell me what's going on.
01:04:35Never mind.
01:04:36They'll hear.
01:04:36I will thank you.
01:04:40Look at me.
01:04:41You are not alone.
01:04:44Victor.
01:04:46You have gone.
01:04:47This is my path.
01:04:49He didn't hurt me.
01:04:50He was saving me.
01:04:52But before, I wanted to die.
01:04:58It was Miss Avil.
01:05:01She found me.
01:05:02She said if I didn't sign the papers, if I didn't testify that I was a victim of Victor,
01:05:09they would kill my parents.
01:05:12I signed the papers.
01:05:15Isabella.
01:05:16Of course it was her.
01:05:18Well, you said they.
01:05:19Who is they?
01:05:20Was it Graves?
01:05:21Did Graves make you sign?
01:05:23No.
01:05:25It's so much scarier than Isabella calls it.
01:05:31Daddy.
01:05:35Is this the final stage of my treatment?
01:05:38Are you saying that Victor was right?
01:05:41That question has haunted me for years.
01:05:43But your treatment is not over yet.
01:05:48So that's it.
01:05:50Victor, you bastard.
01:05:51You weren't lying to me.
01:05:52You really weren't lying.
01:06:21Victor, you genius.
01:06:24These girls will need more of your special treatment.
01:06:27If you can fix them, the future of the Institute is yours.
01:06:53Water.
01:06:54The genius doctor reduced to begging me for water?
01:06:59You should have learned a long time ago, Victor.
01:07:02The price of defying me is becoming my dog.
01:07:05Isabella.
01:07:07This war.
01:07:08I'm tired.
01:07:10I surrender.
01:07:24I'm tired.
01:07:34I'm tired.
01:07:35I know your records.
01:07:37But we're seeing that alcohol.
01:07:39Massive long-term doses.
01:07:41They've just been destroying your brain.
01:07:45That's it.
01:07:46Special Assets.
01:07:47That's what they called us.

01:09:20of course Vic
01:09:36to you my love
01:09:52your destiny is to be together however
01:09:58All right.
01:10:34This is Chloe from the New York Times.
01:10:36Who am I speaking to?
01:10:37Someone who can get you a Pulitzer.
01:10:52In other news, the court has filed multiple charges against Dr. Victor Lorenz,
01:10:57including unlawful administration of drugs, illegal confinement, and illegal trafficking.
01:11:02His whereabouts are still unknown.
01:11:15Victor?
01:11:16Impossible that the entire city is looking for you.
01:11:19The Sevilles are the real criminals.
01:11:21This file contains the guest list for their auctions,
01:11:24as well as information on several of the girls who have disappeared.
01:11:27It's not enough to convict them, but it's enough to start a firestorm.
01:11:30Is this...real?
01:11:33You're the journalist, you tell me.
01:11:34I have to publish this. Immediately.
01:11:37No.
01:11:38We don't want a story. We want a trial.
01:11:40Graves has notified the state medical board that a hearing will be held in two days
01:11:44regarding the major ethical scandal at Black Mountain Mental Hospital.
01:11:48Sam, Seville, and Isabella will be in attendance.
01:11:51You want me to...
01:11:53I want you to use every media outlet at your disposal
01:11:55to turn this trumped-up witch hunt
01:11:57into a nationally televised public execution.
01:12:01Livestream it?
01:12:02That's insane. They'll do everything to bury it.
01:12:04Then we need to light a fire so big they can't put it out.
01:12:07I've sold everything.
01:12:09My property, my art, my stocks.
01:12:12All of it is on this card now.
01:12:13It's enough to burn their empire to the ground.
01:12:16Okay.
01:12:18I'm in.
01:12:18One more thing.
01:12:34Sir, there's a story breaking online about the club.
01:12:37An investigative report called the Black Mountain Files.
01:12:43Victor, it's got to be him.
01:12:46You incompetent fools can't keep track of one man.
01:12:51Find Rick Miller.
01:12:53Clean it up.
01:12:55Make it look like he's tying up a loose end.
01:12:59I want him buried so deep he'll never crawl out.
01:13:02Get PR.
01:13:03Bury that story.
01:13:05I don't want to hear a word of it before the hearing.
01:13:08Yes, sir.
01:13:14Your little games are over, Victor.
01:13:37Sir, the online story has been contained.
01:13:39No one who matters is watching this live stream.
01:13:46Miss Erin White, this committee will now conduct a public hearing regarding your alleged gross
01:13:54violation of medical ethics.
01:13:56I ask you now, during your time as Victor Lorenz's guardian, did you engage in an illicit, inappropriate
01:14:03relationship that went beyond your doctor-patient boundary?
01:14:08I admit it.
01:14:10Dr. Victor Lorenz and I are lovers.
01:14:26So you admit it.
01:14:28A gross violation of professional ethics.
01:14:30I am not here to defend my love.
01:14:35I am here to tell you how a former version of myself was saved.
01:14:43This was my childhood.
01:14:46My nightmare.
01:14:47And I used to believe that I would live in an endless cycle of self-hate and destruction.
01:14:54Till I met Victor.
01:14:57He saved me.
01:14:59And he gave me the courage to face who I really am.
01:15:03And if it's a crime to love somebody who pulled you out of your own ashes,
01:15:07then it is a charge that I happily accept.
01:15:45What about Victor?
01:15:46Did he or did he not use psychological manipulation against you?
01:15:50Ward and Graves, the core of your accusations stems from a forged file called Project Pemillion.
01:15:57And I would like to call the key witness in this case, Lilith Hines.
01:16:06The testimony of a long-term, severely mentally ill patient has no credibility.
01:16:20I, Lilith Hines, was a patient at Black Mountain.
01:16:24But I am not sick.
01:16:25Years ago, Isabella Seville threatened my family's lives and forced me to sign a false statement
01:16:30accusing Dr. Lorenz of improper treatment.
01:16:33When I signed, they had me forcibly committed and drugged me for years to turn me into a real psycho.
01:16:40You're lying, you lunatic.
01:16:42Isabella.
01:16:45I understand your pain.
01:16:49Subject exhibits extreme possessiveness, seeking attention by creating chaos.
01:16:54Does that sound familiar?
01:16:57You, how could you know?
01:16:59Using self-harm to gain sympathy and viewing others rescue as her only proof of love.
01:17:04And her preference for symbolic objects of control, such as collars, stems not from desire,
01:17:11but a deep-seated desperation for a sense of belonging.
01:17:16Stop it.
01:17:17Stop talking.
01:17:17You forged those documents, framed Victor, locked Lilith away, and you tried to do the
01:17:22exact same thing to me.
01:17:23And all along, the one masterpiece he was so afraid of being left behind was you.
01:17:30Shut up!
01:17:31He promised he would fix me, but then he tried to leave me.
01:17:34I had to ruin him so he could never leave me.
01:17:37I am his masterpiece.
01:17:38Me!
01:17:39Members of the committee, please forgive my daughter's outbursts.
01:17:43Her mental state has always been unstable.
01:17:47The ramblings of an overstressed mind.
01:17:52But my daughter's mistakes cannot excuse a much more serious crime.
01:17:58Yes, to that point.
01:18:00We just received a report an hour ago that the key witness, Rick Miller, was murdered in
01:18:06a motel.
01:18:08The implication is obvious.
01:18:09He was killed to prevent him from testifying here.
01:18:12He was killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:18:15He was killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:18:27Victor, you killed Rick?
01:18:31You, Aaron White, as an accomplice to a murderer, everything you've said here is considered
01:18:37a lie.
01:18:39I demand this committee take her into custody immediately.
01:18:48I object.
01:19:06He's just a patient, Aaron.
01:19:08Complete this evaluation, and that permanent position is yours.
01:19:15Storm's a beast tonight.
01:19:16Typical intern.
01:19:18Didn't you think to bring an umbrella?
01:19:19It was unexpected.
01:19:23You know, you really don't have to struggle like this, Aaron.
01:19:27There are, uh, easier paths to that position.
01:19:32Who is Mr. Lorenz?
01:19:33Dr. Lorenz, and you just got a sedative.
01:19:36You got maybe 10 safe minutes before it wears off?
01:19:53Air conditioning's freezing in there.
01:19:58Locker room is next door if you want to strip off that wet coat.
01:20:05Director, if your wife saw that hallway footage, I'm sure she would find your mentorship style
01:20:11quite enlightening.
01:20:13Who?
01:20:14Are you threatening me?
01:20:16I'm just stating a fact.
01:20:18Now please, get out of my way so I can do my job.
01:20:22Enjoy it while you can, because your evaluation report will never be approved.
01:20:26Trust me.
01:20:28You're finished here.
01:20:42Smart girl.
01:20:51I'm a doctoral candidate.
01:20:52I meant no offense.
01:20:55Now, there are towels on the wall.
01:20:57Dry yourself off.
01:20:58I have no desire to speak with a drowned rat.
01:21:25Thanks, Dr. Lorenz.
01:21:26Victor, I'm Erin White.
01:21:31Let's begin your evaluation.
01:21:3655% cashmere blend.
01:21:38That towel, very soft.
01:21:40Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
01:21:47Clean edge with a little tear at the end.
01:21:50You do it yourself.
01:21:51Let me do it yourself.
01:21:51Let me do it yourself.
