Short filmTranscript
00:00:00He's just a patient, Aaron. Complete this evaluation and that permanent position is yours.
00:00:09Storm's a beast tonight. Typical intern. Didn't you think to bring an umbrella?
00:00:14It was unexpected.
00:00:17You know, you really don't have to struggle like this, Aaron.
00:00:21There are, uh, easier paths to that position.
00:00:26Who is Mr. Lorenz?
00:00:27Dr. Lorenz and you just got a sedative. You got maybe 10 safe minutes before it wears off.
00:00:47Air conditioning is freezing in there.
00:00:52Locker room is next door if you want to strip off that wet coat.
00:00:59Director, if your wife saw that hallway footage, I'm sure she would find your mentorship style quite enlightening.
00:01:07Who? Are you threatening me?
00:01:10I'm just stating a fact. Now please, get out of my way so I can do my job.
00:01:16Enjoy it while you can, because your evaluation report will never be approved.
00:01:20Trust me.
00:01:22You're finished here.
00:01:35Smart girl.
00:01:45I'm a doctoral candidate.
00:01:46I meant no offense.
00:01:49Now, there are towels on the wall.
00:01:51Dry yourself off. I have no desire to speak with a drowned rat.
00:02:19Thanks, Dr. Lorenz.
00:02:20Victor, I'm Erin White.
00:02:25Let's begin your evaluation.
00:02:3055% cashmere blend.
00:02:32That towel, very soft.
00:02:34Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
00:02:41Clean edge with a little tear at the end.
00:02:44You do it yourself.
00:03:02The rock side and Vaseline, very practical.
00:03:06The rose oil would help the scarring fade faster.
00:03:09But you should know, Ms. White, scars are not marks of shame.
00:03:13They're a warrior's medals.
00:03:16I am here to evaluate your mental state, Dr. Lorenz.
00:03:19Please just answer the questions.
00:03:21Of course.
00:03:22That's the job.
00:03:23By all means, ask away.
00:03:26How do you typically respond, physically or emotionally,
00:03:29when you start to feel...
00:03:31...
00:03:31...
00:03:33...
00:03:34...
00:03:34...
00:03:34appropriate thoughts about a patient?
00:03:36Hmm.
00:03:37Thinking about those impulses makes me warm.
00:03:41You know, this collar is far too tight.
00:03:44It's pressing against my carotid artery.
00:03:46It makes it difficult to think clearly.
00:03:48Do you mind?
00:04:06Your heart's racing.
00:04:07Mine too.
00:04:09Looks like the room's heating up.
00:04:15Just answer the questions directly, Dr. Lorenz.
00:04:18You can keep me tied up here if you want,
00:04:20but if you're here to take responsibility for me,
00:04:23I suggest you start acting like it.
00:04:27You can start by treating me like a person,
00:04:29not a wild animal.
00:04:41Are you like this on all your first dates?
00:04:44Same nervous posture,
00:04:45same shortness of breath?
00:04:47What is irrelevant in you are crossing the line?
00:04:52You wear those high collars on all your dates,
00:04:55but you have no idea those boys are drooling
00:04:58over that black lace bra.
00:05:00Come on.
00:05:00Enough.
00:05:02Underneath, you're so afraid,
00:05:05terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:05:08You long to be touched in a way
00:05:09that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:05:11You stop projecting your vulgar fantasies onto me.
00:05:15Come here, Aaron.
00:05:16Sit on my lap.
00:05:17You've been eyeing this chair
00:05:18since the moment you walk through that door.
00:05:20The mere thought alone gets you going a million times faster
00:05:23than the passenger seats of those little boys' cars,
00:05:27doesn't it?
00:05:29Come on.
00:05:33Sit on my lap.
00:05:38To answer your original question,
00:05:41a smart predator disguises himself as prey.
00:05:45Welcome to my hunting ground, Miss White.
00:05:59Aaron!
00:05:59Aaron!
00:06:00You ungrateful little crap!
00:06:02I raise you,
00:06:03and this is all the thanks I get.
00:06:05What the hell am I supposed to do with this?
00:06:07This is my workplace.
00:06:08Can we just talk about this at home, okay?
00:06:10Home?
00:06:10The Lone Sharks want to saw my legs off,
00:06:13and you want me to go home?
00:06:14What did you do with the rest of it, huh?
00:06:16No, I...
00:06:17You're spending it on some guy.
00:06:19You shameless little soldier.
00:06:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:06:21I didn't, okay?
00:06:22Just please, let's just talk about...
00:06:25You're so afraid and terrified
00:06:27that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:06:31First of all, you didn't raise me.
00:06:34I put myself through school
00:06:35while you just sat around
00:06:36and spent my mother's insurance money.
00:06:38Second, that money I gave you
00:06:40was charity, not an obligation.
00:06:42And starting today,
00:06:44that charity is closed.
00:06:51And if you ever
00:06:53touch me again,
00:06:55I will have you arrested for assault.
00:07:00You're gonna pay for this
00:07:01one way or another.
00:07:03Either I get the money,
00:07:04or you're gonna be earning it
00:07:06in your back
00:07:06in a whorehouse.
00:07:12Your evaluation report.
00:07:14It's a complete mess,
00:07:16not to mention the little matter
00:07:17of you leaving it behind
00:07:18with the most dangerous patient
00:07:20in this facility.
00:07:21I'm sorry, director.
00:07:22It was a rookie mistake.
00:07:23Oh, no.
00:07:24No, it's more than that.
00:07:26Arring out your dirty family laundry
00:07:27for the entire hospital to see?
00:07:30Deeply unprofessional, Erin.
00:07:31Now, how can an intern
00:07:33who can't even handle her own life
00:07:35possibly be fit to manage
00:07:36our highest-risk patient?
00:07:40However,
00:07:41Mr. Seville,
00:07:42who owns this institution,
00:07:45happens to have a soft spot
00:07:47for ambitious talent.
00:07:49If you were to deliver
00:07:51a truly perfect final report on Victor,
00:07:55I could put in a good word for you.
00:07:56You see,
00:07:57your stepfather's suggestion
00:07:59of earning it,
00:08:00crude as it was,
00:08:02I have to admit,
00:08:02it has potential.
00:08:03My office is always open
00:08:05for a more
00:08:07in-depth discussion.
00:08:10Fine.
00:08:11I will give you a report
00:08:12you'll never forget.
00:08:15The press is crawling
00:08:17all over us
00:08:18about Lorenz.
00:08:19The security costs
00:08:20of keeping him here
00:08:21are astronomical.
00:08:23He's far too dangerous
00:08:24to release.
00:08:25Who'd be responsible?
00:08:28Warden Graves,
00:08:29I think I have a solution.
00:08:35Proposal for a one-year
00:08:37one-on-one guardianship-based therapy
00:08:39for Victor K. Lorenz?
00:08:43What's this?
00:08:44Move him from this facility
00:08:46to a private, secure residence.
00:08:48I will be his sole 24-7 guardian
00:08:50responsible for his psychological treatment
00:08:52and behavioral monitoring,
00:08:53and I will sign a waiver
00:08:54of unlimited liability.
00:08:56Everything he does
00:08:57outside of this hospital
00:08:58will be my sole responsibility.
00:09:02She's insane.
00:09:04This is absurd.
00:09:05Wait!
00:09:06This proposal,
00:09:07it would drastically cut security costs.
00:09:09True.
00:09:10We could spin it to the media
00:09:12as the new humane therapy model.
00:09:15Honestly, it's perfect PR.
00:09:17Most importantly,
00:09:18if anything goes wrong,
00:09:19she takes the fall.
00:09:21The hospital,
00:09:22the board,
00:09:23we'd be completely insulated.
00:09:25We'd be completely insulated.
00:09:25Fine.
00:09:27Pass.
00:09:27You want the responsibility,
00:09:29Ms. White?
00:09:30It's yours.
00:09:32For better
00:09:34or for worse.
00:09:39Why is he even wearing his mask?
00:09:41Is he just a psychiatric patient?
00:09:43They say his mouth is his most dangerous weapon.
00:09:45He drives his victims mad
00:09:46long before he ever lays his hands on them.
00:09:48He destroys them with his words.
00:10:12My job here is done.
00:10:14Good luck.
00:10:40Dr. Lorenz?
00:10:49If the patient is unresponsive,
00:10:52the guardian must assess for environmental risk.
00:11:21What have I gotten myself into?
00:11:48Is it part of the guardian's duties now
00:11:51to look through a patient's personal effects?
00:11:57I was scanning the area,
00:11:59looking for hazards.
00:12:03Your pupils say otherwise.
00:12:10Why do I feel like this around him?
00:12:14It's like I'm captivated.
00:12:16Intrigued?
00:12:17I wanted to see how it would look on you.
00:12:19Not just admiring the engraving.
00:12:23Are we cold metal on the neck?
00:12:27More of a thrill than you expected?
00:12:34Your definition of thrill is always tied to control.
00:12:40Is this gift your mark of ownership?
00:12:43Ownership?
00:12:45No, no.
00:12:46No, Eirad.
00:12:47You're mine.
00:12:49Because I'm creating you.
00:12:52now then
00:12:53time for my checkup

00:21:37No!
00:21:47No!
00:21:58Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.
00:22:14Take me.
00:22:23Your treatment has just begun.
00:22:36So, Aaron, I need a progress report on the Lorenz guardianship project.
00:22:42Of course, Warden Graves.
00:22:43The evaluation is proceeding as planned, and Dr. Lorenz has been very...
00:22:47cooperative.
00:22:49Hmm.
00:22:51Do you consider this cooperative?
00:22:56I, um...
00:23:05I, um, I don't know anything about this.
00:23:08This is, um...
00:23:08Look, Aaron, I don't care what some garbage tabloid prints about your personal relations.
00:23:14I do care about this hospital's professional image and ethical standards.
00:23:20Don't you?
00:23:21You're a smart girl, but I think you're forgetting something.
00:23:24The board assigned you to be his guardian, not for you to be controlled by him.
00:23:30Sir, I am not...
00:23:31I don't care what kind of game you and Victor are playing.
00:23:34You need to remember who you are.
00:23:37Keep your professional distance from him.
00:23:40I would hate to see your career end because of a filthy scandal like this.
00:23:45Now get out!
00:23:53Dr. White, your car is here.
00:23:59Isn't that Victor Lorenz?
00:24:01He actually came to pick her up!
00:24:03Guardian?
00:24:04Yeah, right.
00:24:05More like his sugar baby.
00:24:06I don't understand what she's doing with that madman anyway.
00:24:09They each get what they want.
00:24:10You know he was rumored to be a candidate for warden?
00:24:13And he has money.
00:24:18Are you insane?
00:24:21I don't know what you mean.
00:24:22What are you doing here?
00:24:24I'm sure you saw the news.
00:24:25Of course.
00:24:26A mediocre bit of drivel written to excite a group of idiots.
00:24:30But this is my job.
00:24:32My reputation.
00:24:33Everybody at this hospital already thinks I'm some shameless whore.
00:24:37Your reputation?
00:24:39You mean that hollow shell that had you wearing those high collars and apologizing for breathing?
00:24:44Aaron, that shell has been shattered.
00:24:51This is for you.
00:24:56Tonight the Seville family is throwing a private art exhibition.
00:25:01Seville?
00:25:02Isn't the owner of the hospital?
00:25:04What would I possibly do there?
00:25:06Step into the spotlight and show them that you're not a mere intern they can humiliate and overpower.
00:25:14Or, simply stay here and let those hyenas tear you to pieces.
00:25:17Your choice.
00:25:27Oh my God.
00:25:32Oh.
00:25:34Oh.
00:25:58Ignore them.
00:26:02Think of them like
00:26:03specimens in a frame.
00:26:05You are the only living thing in this room.
00:26:14Victor,
00:26:15I never thought you'd willingly leave your little cage.
00:26:18Occasionally one must check up on one's past acquisitions
00:26:21to ensure they're being
00:26:23well-maintained.
00:26:25Oh, and this is your latest
00:26:27project?
00:26:29Seems like a decent pick.
00:26:35I'm going to get us a drink.
00:26:41My name is Erin White.
00:26:43I'm Dr. Lorenzo's
00:26:44guardian.
00:26:45I must say,
00:26:47Victor hasn't changed a bit.
00:26:48Always had a thing for broken souls.
00:26:51But I'm curious,
00:26:52is your therapy all above board?
00:26:55I mean, you live together, right?
00:26:56So where's the line?
00:26:58Is he allowed to touch you
00:27:00if he wants?
00:27:02My methods are all within the accepted norms.
00:27:05biofeedback,
00:27:07psychological suggestion.
00:27:08Darling,
00:27:09drop the guardian act.
00:27:12You're just his new toy.
00:27:18This is a beautiful dress.
00:27:20But it's not...
00:27:22you.
00:27:24Let me guess.
00:27:26Victor picked it out.
00:27:28He did.
00:27:30But you know what?
00:27:31I very much like it.
00:27:34Achoo!
00:27:36Oh, God.
00:27:38I am so sorry.
00:27:39Such a beautiful dress.
00:27:46And now look.
00:27:51It's completely ruined.
00:27:54Trust me.
00:27:55This wine is still cleaner
00:27:57than your new daddy's hands.
00:27:58And where they've been.
00:28:12Miss Seville.
00:28:14Psychologically,
00:28:15an overly aggressive posture
00:28:17usually stems from a deep-seated fear
00:28:20of one's own unstable position.
00:28:22Are you afraid
00:28:23that I'm going to replace you?
00:28:27Victor!
00:28:29Miss White.
00:28:30Lovely to see you.
00:28:35It's been a long time, Victor.
00:28:37After your unfortunate little incident,
00:28:41I really didn't expect to see you out socially again.
00:28:44An artist often finds inspiration
00:28:46for his masterpiece
00:28:47in his failed projects.
00:28:53Miss White,
00:28:55I do apologize
00:28:57on behalf of my daughter.
00:28:59She will, of course,
00:29:00cover the cost of the cleaning.
00:29:03Now listen,
00:29:04we at the Institute
00:29:04have been watching
00:29:06your little guardianship project
00:29:08with great interest.
00:29:09I want you to know
00:29:11if you come up against any problems,
00:29:13please come to me directly.
00:29:16Now, if you'll excuse us,
00:29:18enjoy your evening.
00:29:22I am this perfect masterpiece.
00:29:29You are nothing but a cheap,
00:29:32disposable coffee.
00:29:33Just wait.
00:29:34He'll get bored of you soon
00:29:35and then he'll destroy you himself.
00:29:57Lie down.
00:29:59Routine physical.
00:30:17Well, temperature 98.6.
00:30:21Heart rate 78.
00:30:23Huh.
00:30:25I'm seeing a murmur,
00:30:27Dr. Lorenz.
00:30:31and irregularity.
00:30:32I feel perfectly fine,
00:30:34Miss White.
00:30:35Good.
00:30:36Then we'll just have to
00:30:37continue the assessment.
00:30:40What are you trying to prove, Erin?
00:30:42That what Isabella said is true?
00:30:45I'm not.
00:30:45That she's more beautiful than you?
00:30:47That her family is richer
00:30:49than your stepfather?
00:30:50That I would prefer her over you?
00:30:53Do you report your current
00:30:56state of feeling,
00:30:57Dr. Lorenz?
00:31:00Stop.
00:31:02And you are such a hypocrite.
00:31:04I saw the way that she looks at you.
00:31:06Just waiting for your next command.
00:31:09Is that what gets you off?
00:31:11Hmm?
00:31:12Do you prefer Isabella?
00:31:16Is this for her?
00:31:20This physical is over.
00:31:22In today's emotional report,
00:31:24I expect to see the truth.
00:31:39I've realized I might just be
00:31:42an experiment.
00:31:43A clumsy imitation
00:31:46meant to replace Isabella.
00:31:50I want to break my soul
00:31:54too.
00:31:57So I would die to give
00:32:01what I take.
00:32:06Illusions
00:32:07still on my skin.
00:32:11Lay my face.
00:32:13Find your aim
00:32:15and pulling me in.
00:32:19Lay my face.
00:32:21All my tears.
00:32:21Turn on my gravity.
00:32:24Limitless reality.
00:32:39Who am I?
00:33:05No, if I'm going to be his work of art, then I am going to be his one and only
00:33:14masterpiece.
00:33:39Here's my report, and I'll admit it, I was jealous of Isabella.
00:33:45I wanted to be a masterpiece like her, but the thing that I'm afraid of most is that I'm
00:33:50not even qualified to replace her.
00:33:53You're wrong.
00:34:01Isabella was a failed draft from early in my career, a ruined canvas.
00:34:09But you, Erin, you are the one-of-a-kind, perfect masterpiece that I've spent my life searching
00:34:19for.
00:34:19A masterpiece?
00:34:20This is not meant to mark my property.
00:34:25This is a crown.
00:34:27A masterpiece that I am bestowing upon you.
00:34:31From this day forward, you are my singular work of art.
00:34:46I have a better idea.
00:35:17I have a better idea.
00:35:17Oh, my God.
00:35:56Aaron, look at me.
00:35:59Victor, am I really your only masterpiece?
00:36:09I never know, Aaron.
00:36:13Sometimes I find that the truth is being presented in a more artistic way.
00:36:26Oh, my God.
00:36:46Say my name.
00:36:48Losing your new identity.
00:36:51Say my name.
00:36:55Victor.
00:36:58My artist.
00:37:02Take me.
00:37:02Ah.
00:37:09Ah.
00:37:13Ah.
00:37:14Ah.
00:37:16Ah.
00:37:17Ah.
00:37:18Ah.
00:37:35Miss White, these pictures are all over the internet.
00:37:38You have made Black Mountain Asylum a laughing stock.
00:37:42What do you have to say for yourself?
00:37:43I... I have nothing to say.
00:37:50Very well.
00:37:52Given the fact that your grossly inappropriate relationship with your patient
00:37:58has caused irreparable damage to this institution's reputation,
00:38:02this committee has voted unanimously to suspend your internship
00:38:06and to terminate all treatment of Mr. Victor Lorenz.
00:38:14Effective, immediately.
00:38:16I'm about to lose everything that I have ever worked for.
00:38:20How could I have done this?
00:38:24Say my name.
00:38:25What was I thinking?
00:38:27And more importantly, if I had a chance to go back, would I do it again?
00:38:31Of course, there is a way out.
00:38:35We're willing to give you another chance.
00:38:40This is a sworn statement that Victor Lorenz acted against your will,
00:38:46using his status and professional expertise to psychologically manipulate you
00:38:51into a coerced, non-consensual contact.
00:38:55All this required is your signature.
00:39:10You want me to lie?
00:39:13It's not a lie.
00:39:14You're a victim.
00:39:16Sign this, and not only will we restore your position,
00:39:18but we will use all of our legal resources
00:39:22to get you the justice you so sorely deserve
00:39:25and to put that monster away where he belongs.
00:39:38I refuse.
00:39:40What did you say?
00:39:40I take full responsibility and ownership over my actions,
00:39:45and this has nothing to do with him.
00:39:46Who do you think you're protecting?
00:39:49You're only destroying yourself.
00:39:51Without this hospital, you're not even an intern.
00:39:54You're nothing.
00:39:55What I am has nothing to do with you.
00:40:01Fine.
00:40:02Get out.
00:40:03I promise you, you'll pay a painful price for your stupidity today.
00:40:19We're in.
00:40:21What do you want?
00:40:22A little field trip.
00:40:24Do you actually believe you're protecting your precious artist?
00:40:27I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:29Do you want to know how many copies there are
00:40:31of that one-of-a-kind crown you're so proud of?
00:40:34Victor loves collecting broken souls,
00:40:37but did you know what he really wants?
00:40:39Is to exhibit them?
00:40:42Get in, you pathetic little stray.
00:40:44I put your collar on.
00:41:26Sorry.
00:41:47This is Victor's private playground.
00:41:51Everyone here is rich, powerful, and they love Victor's art.
00:42:01No.
00:42:03No, that can't be.
00:42:05See her?
00:42:06Three years ago, she tried to kill herself after her boss assaulted her.
00:42:11Victor saved her.
00:42:12Now she's that real estate tycoon's favorite little kitten.
00:42:16Victor has a talent for finding broken little dolls like you, piecing them back together just the way he likes.
00:42:23And then putting them on display here for the entertainment of others.
00:42:29You're next.
00:42:32No.
00:42:33No, he said that I was his only masterpiece.
00:42:37Masterpiece?
00:42:38Oh, darling.
00:42:40He said the same thing to me.
00:42:43To every other person here.
00:42:47He makes you feel special so that you willingly give him everything.
00:42:53You're lying.
00:42:54Am I?
00:42:59Here's the ticket to the final stage of your treatment.
00:43:04Every few months, Victor hosts an auction.
00:43:07The highest bidder gets to acquire the artwork for a while.
00:43:12And you, you look just about perfectly polished.
00:43:16I imagine at the next acquisition night, you'll be the main exhibit.
00:43:51Is this the final stage of my treatment?
00:43:54You polish me and then train me exactly how you want?
00:43:57And then sell me off to those perverts at your club?
00:44:01Isabella told you this?
00:44:02So you admitted it's true.
00:44:07So you think that well of me?
00:44:09You think I'm some monster and they were right to lock me away?
00:44:14Then kill me.
00:44:17Come on.
00:44:19Finish it.
00:44:21Do it.
00:44:23Do it.
00:44:26This is over.
00:44:28I'm done with this shit.
00:44:31No.
00:44:32And guess what, Victor?
00:44:34Your masterpiece is defective.
00:44:37Oh no, she has a mind of her own.
00:44:42And she is going to end this disgusting treatment.
00:44:50The polishing is not yet complete.
00:45:02What do you want?
00:45:03Aaron.
00:45:04Honey.
00:45:05You gotta help me.
00:45:06Please.
00:45:06Okay, well I don't have any money.
00:45:08Because I was fired.
00:45:09I'm in deep shit with some loan sharks.
00:45:12They're gonna kill me.
00:45:13Well that sounds like a you problem.
00:45:15No, no, no, no.
00:45:16Look, I know I've screwed up.
00:45:18And I'm sorry.
00:45:19But before I skip town,
00:45:21I need to give you what's left of your mom's things.
00:45:25I have them right here.
00:45:26They're gonna come take everything unless you come get this stuff now.
00:45:31Where are you?
00:45:32The old storage facility, west side.
00:45:34I'll text you the address.
00:45:36Aaron, I'm begging you.
00:45:38This will be the last time I see you.
00:45:42Hmm.
00:45:58You came.
00:45:59You actually came.
00:46:00Rick, where is my mom's things?
00:46:02Yeah, um, over here.
00:46:13Not bad at all.
00:46:16I'll see.
00:46:16I brought her just like I said I would.
00:46:18Now, about my death.
00:46:20Get the hell out of my way.
00:46:22Rick Miller, you son of a bitch!
00:46:26Scream all you want, sweetheart.
00:46:29Tonight, you belong to me.
00:46:35You might as well stop fighting.
00:46:37Stick with me.
00:46:39You'll be sad for life.
00:46:50You still got some fight left in you, huh?
00:46:52Guess you need to be taught a lesson.
00:46:54Don't touch me!
00:46:56Whoa!
00:46:59Look at this.
00:47:01Kinky.
00:47:02I like it.
00:47:13Who the fuck is this pretty boy?
00:47:30Oh, you want to play hero, big guy?
00:47:34Okay.
00:47:35Seems like you got a death wish.
00:47:45What are you?
00:47:46Oh, my hand!
00:47:52You!
00:47:53You stay away from us!
00:47:55All right, we're with, with.
00:47:56Get it up!
00:47:57Fucking kill him!
00:48:02Get it up!
00:48:04Fucking kill him!
00:48:10Oh, my man.
00:48:17You gotta understand it.
00:48:19It was them.
00:48:19They made me do it.
00:48:21Sir.
00:48:22Please.
00:48:22I'm scum.
00:48:23I know.
00:48:25I'm the scum of the fucking earth.
00:48:26But it won't happen again, I swear.
00:48:29Please, for Aaron's sake!
00:48:34It won't happen again, I swear.
00:48:36Please, for Aaron's sake!
00:48:38Please.
00:48:39I, I'm her father.
00:48:41You can't.
00:48:41I'm her goddamn father!
00:48:50Victor, don't.
00:48:53He touched you.
00:48:57Which hand did you use to touch her?
00:49:00No, I, I didn't touch her.
00:49:03No, I, I, I, I, I!
00:49:31Don't move.
00:49:46This is all my fault.
00:49:49I shouldn't have went after him.
00:49:55Why aren't you saying anything?
00:49:58Isabella was lying, why didn't you just say that?
00:50:08A one-of-a-kind work of art began to doubt its own value because of the words of some
00:50:13worthless
00:50:14person.
00:50:15Do you think that requires an explanation?
00:50:17No.
00:50:20That is a flaw that requires correction.
00:50:22I don't know.
00:51:02I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:51:06I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:51:30I'm going to remember this feeling.
00:51:33Your body is made for pleasure, not for fear.
00:51:41I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:52:35I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:52:38Hello?
00:52:39Is this Miss Aaron White?
00:52:41This is Sam Seville.
00:52:45Mr. Seville, hi.
00:52:47Old young lady, don't be nervous.
00:52:50I just wanted to call to apologize for the injustice you recently suffered.
00:52:55Um, thank you so much for your concern.
00:52:58Listen, I know what men like Logan and Graves are.
00:53:03It was our failure to leave you under that kind of pressure.
00:53:07I was just doing my job.
00:53:08I know.
00:53:09Hello.
00:53:09I'd like to meet with you privately.
00:53:13Perhaps I can help you out of this little predicament you're in.
00:53:25Oh, you poor dear.
00:53:27You look absolutely pale with fear.
00:53:38Mr. Seville, thank you for seeing me and Victor and I...
00:53:42The evidence in the tabloids is more than substantial.
00:53:45You had an inappropriate relationship with a patient under your care.
00:53:51Those photos, that thing around your neck.
00:53:56The evidence in their eyes is irrefutable.
00:54:03That is not.
00:54:04It was all part of the treatment.
00:54:06I believe you.
00:54:07You're not some shameless hussy off the street.
00:54:13Seeing you in this situation, it reminds me of Victor.
00:54:18He was my protege.
00:54:20Before his little incident, he was my handpicked successor to run the Institute.
00:54:26Just as the board was about to approve his appointment,
00:54:30malpractice scandal exploded out of nowhere.
00:54:36Are you saying that Victor was framed?
00:54:38That question has haunted me for years.
00:54:42Now mind you, I have no proof.
00:54:45But Victor might.
00:54:46Victor had a secret research lab.
00:54:49I'm thinking, if there is a key to his innocence,
00:54:53it's hidden there.
00:54:55There.
00:55:04Aaron.
00:55:05Victor only trusts the people he chooses.
00:55:08And right now...
00:55:11That means you.
00:55:13You alone.
00:55:52This Woahta's fire isched.
00:55:55Oh, my God.
00:56:50You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:56:56Phase 2. Dependency transference.
00:57:00Find the identity of savior to the self, becoming the subject's sole spiritual anchor.
00:57:05Phase 3. Imprinting.
00:57:09Bestow a symbolic object such as a collar.
00:57:12At this point, the subject will fully internalize her new identity as the artist's masterpiece.
00:57:18To be continued.
00:57:21To be continued.
00:57:36To be continued.
00:57:46I am a masterpiece. I have no soul. The artist gives me meaning. I can't live without the artist. I
00:57:56am a masterpiece.
00:58:20Well, well, well. Miss White.
00:58:29Breaking into a secure research lab in the middle of the night? No longer just breach of ethics. This is
00:58:36breaking the law.
00:58:38It's her. She's crazy. That lunatic victor. They pushed me down the stairs. They broke my leg.
00:58:57Well, that's what I do. A liar. And a piece of shit. And a hypocrite.
00:59:09You see this? Typical psychotic episode. I'm afraid she's completely lost it.
00:59:18Miss White, given that your next of kin has accused you of violent behavior, and that you're clearly in a
00:59:27state of extreme mental instability,
00:59:32I'm signing an emergency order for your compulsory admission.
00:59:39You. And you are going to remember your faces.
00:59:47Gentlemen, take her away.
00:59:54I'm sorry.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
01:00:11Nurse.
01:00:13Nurse.
01:00:15There's been a mistake. I am not a patient here. My name is Erin White. I'm an intern.
01:00:19Half the people in here say they're someone else. Napoleon, Cleopatra. You're the first one to claim to be a
01:00:25doctor.
01:00:26I mean, I'm not lying, okay?
01:00:29Graves.
01:00:31Warden Graves.
01:00:32He framed me, okay? Just give me one phone call.
01:00:34Mr. Seville, he will tell you who I am.
01:00:36Mr. Seville, again. The last patient who thought she was his fiancée is still singing opera in the room next
01:00:41door.
01:00:42Now open up. Time for your meds.
01:00:44No, no, no. I can't take those, okay? They will ruin my body.
01:00:47No, I am not sick.
01:00:48Whether you're sick or not isn't up to you here.
01:00:52Hold her down.
01:00:55Hold her down.
01:00:58No, no, no, no, no!
01:01:01No, no, no, no, no!
01:01:32Isabella.
01:01:33Victor!
01:01:36I was starting to think you'd do something foolish
01:01:38on account of your little pet.
01:01:43Where is Erin?
01:01:44Oh, don't worry.
01:01:45She's in a very safe place,
01:01:47receiving the most professional care.
01:01:50No disturbances, no visitors.
01:01:52Just like you were all those years ago.
01:01:55Let her go.
01:01:57I will, on one condition.
01:02:02Come back to me.
01:02:04Let me be yours again tonight.
01:02:09You think you've won?
01:02:11Isabella, the biggest mistake you and your father ever made
01:02:15was taking it out on Erin.
01:02:18I made a mistake?
01:02:20How am I inferior to her?
01:02:23That replacement you scraped out of the garbage!
01:02:25With you, it's always just work.
01:02:28Every touch, every training session was just part of the job.
01:02:33But with Erin, I lose control of my heart.
01:02:36You're lying!
01:02:42If your heart won't belong to me,
01:02:44then I'll just keep your body.
01:02:47Forever and ever.
01:02:54No!
01:02:57No!
01:03:01No!
01:03:02No!
01:03:07Now, Erin, I'm giving you one last chance.
01:03:11Admit that you conspired with Victor to assault your stepfather.
01:03:16Volunteer for treatment.
01:03:17I can make this easier on you.
01:03:21No, he wouldn't do that.
01:03:23It's touching you're still attempting to protect Mr. Lawrence, but he can't hear you.
01:03:29He's too busy being entertained by Miss Sabille.
01:03:33What did you just say?
01:03:35Oh, come now, Erin.
01:03:36You can't believe you're anything more than a piece in their game.
01:03:41Now the game's over.
01:03:45Sign this, and at least you can live out your days as a human being in a hospital ward.
01:03:54Erin, you're so stupid.
01:03:58Commence the treatment.
01:04:07A smart predator disguises himself as prey.
01:04:11That's right.
01:04:12I have to survive.
01:04:14I have to survive.
01:04:15I do not wait for him to save this.
01:04:17I have to personally send all of you to hell.
01:04:31Very good.
01:04:34That's it, right?
01:04:36There we go.
01:04:50Open your mouth.
01:04:52Go.
01:05:06Open your mouth.
01:05:09Go.
01:05:39Let's go.
01:05:44I don't need treatment. I'm not sick.
01:05:47Everyone line up. Back to your rooms.
01:05:52The artist gives me meaning.
01:06:12Don't touch that.
01:06:14I wasn't. I was just admiring your masterpiece.
01:06:22Did Victor give that to you?
01:06:24No, he gave me one too, and he said that I was his one and only.
01:06:27No, I don't. I don't know.
01:06:30And then I found out that I was part of just some experiment called Project Familia.
01:06:3574! What are you doing? Get in line!
01:07:06What are you doing?
01:07:11Pygmalion is a lie.
01:07:14You have to help me.
01:07:17It's okay. Just tell me what's going on.
01:07:22Never mind. They'll hear. They'll... I won't thank you.
01:07:27Look at me.
01:07:29You are not alone.
01:07:32Victor.
01:07:33You're a clock.
01:07:35This is my path.
01:07:36He didn't hurt me.
01:07:37He was saving me.
01:07:39But...
01:07:40Before...
01:07:41I wanted to die.
01:07:45It was Missville.
01:07:48She found me.
01:07:50She said if I didn't sign the papers,
01:07:52if I didn't testify that I was a victim of Victor,
01:07:56they would kill my parents.
01:07:59I signed the papers.
01:08:02Is it Bella?
01:08:04Of course it was her.
01:08:05Well, you said they. Who is they?
01:08:08Was it Graves?
01:08:09Did Graves make you sign?
01:08:10No.
01:08:12So much scarier than...
01:08:15Is it Bella?
01:08:17Calls it.
01:08:19Daddy.
01:08:22Is this the final stage of my treatment?
01:08:25Are you saying that Victor was...
01:08:27Frank?
01:08:28That question has haunted me for years.
01:08:30But your treatment is not over yet.
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:36So that's it.
01:08:37Victor, you bastard.
01:08:38You weren't lying to me.
01:08:39You really weren't lying.
01:09:08Victor, you genius.
01:09:11These girls will need more of your special treatment.
01:09:15If you can fix them,
01:09:17the future of the Institute is yours.
01:09:42If you can fix them,
01:09:45you can fix them.
01:09:46You can fix them.
01:09:47You will need more of your special treatment.
01:09:48The price of defying me is becoming my dog.
01:09:53Isabella, this war. I'm tired. I surrender.
01:10:21Oh, your records. Thorzine and Haldol. Massive long-term doses. They've just been destroying your brain.

01:11:44I surrender.
01:11:45I thought I could change everything.
01:11:47But I was wrong.
01:11:51I can't fight her father.
01:11:52I can't escape you.
01:11:54You were right.
01:11:54I never should have tried to leave.
01:11:56Because only with you am I not the madman on trial.
01:12:00I'm just...
01:12:01Vector.
01:12:02You finally understand, Vic.
01:12:04I knew you still had feelings for me.
01:12:06Perhaps toast.

01:16:33miss aaron white this committee will now conduct a public hearing regarding your alleged gross
01:16:41violation of medical ethics i ask you now during your time as victor lorenz's guardian did you engage
01:16:48in a illicit inappropriate relationship that went beyond your doctor patient boundary

01:17:13so you admit it a gross violation of professional ethics i am not here to defend my love
01:17:22i am here to tell you how a former version of myself was saved
01:17:30this was my childhood my nightmare and i used to believe that i would live in an endless cycle of
01:17:38self-hate and destruction till i met victor
01:17:44he saved me and he gave me the courage to face who i really am and if it's a crime
01:17:51to love somebody
01:17:52who pulled you out of your own ashes then it is a charge that i happily accept
01:18:23oh
01:18:32What about Victor?
01:18:33Did he or did he not use psychological manipulation against you?
01:18:37Warden Graves, the core of your accusations stems from a forged file called Project Pygmalion.
01:18:44And I would like to call the key witness in this case, Lilith Hines.
01:18:54Testimony of a long-term, severely mentally ill patient has no credibility.
01:19:07I, Lilith Hines, was a patient at Black Mountain.
01:19:11But I am not sick.
01:19:12Years ago, Isabella Saville threatened my family's lives and forced me to sign a false statement
01:19:17accusing Dr. Lorenz of improper treatment.
01:19:20When I signed, they had me forcibly committed and drugged me for years to turn me into a real psycho.
01:19:27You're lying, you lunatic.
01:19:31Isabella, I understand your pain.
01:19:35Subject exhibits extreme possessiveness, seeking attention by creating chaos.
01:19:41Does that sound familiar?
01:19:44You, how could you know?
01:19:45Using self-harm to gain sympathy and viewing others rescue as her only proof of love.
01:19:51And her preference for symbolic objects of control, such as collars,
01:19:57stems not from desire, but a deep-seated desperation for a sense of belonging.
01:20:03Stop it.
01:20:04Stop talking.
01:20:04You forged those documents, framed Victor, locked Lilith away,
01:20:08and you tried to do the exact same thing to me.
01:20:10And all along, the one masterpiece he was so afraid of being left behind was you.
01:20:17Shut up!
01:20:18He promised he would fix me, but then he tried to leave me.
01:20:21I had to ruin him so he could never leave me.
01:20:24I am his masterpiece.
01:20:25Me!
01:20:26Members of the committee, please forgive my daughter's outbursts.
01:20:30Her mental state has always been unstable.
01:20:33The ramblings of an overstressed mind.
01:20:39But my daughter's mistakes cannot excuse a much more serious crime.
01:20:45Yes, to that point.
01:20:47We just received a report an hour ago that the key witness, Rick Miller, was murdered in a motel.
01:20:55The implication is obvious.
01:20:56He was killed to prevent him from testifying here.
01:20:59Killed by Victor Lorenz.
