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?
00:00:27It's Dr. Lorenz and you just got a sedative.
00:00:30You 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.
00:01:15Enjoy it while you can, because your evaluation report will never be approved.
00:01:21Trust 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. Dry yourself off. I have no desire to speak with a drowned rat.
00:02:19cik
00:02:20Thanks, Dr. Lorenz.
00:02:21Victor. I'm Erin White. Let's begin your evaluation.
00:02:3055% cashmere blend. That towel, very soft. Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
00:02:41Clean edge with a little tear at the end. You do it yourself.
00:03:03Peroxide and Vaseline. Very practical. The rose oil would help the scarring fade faster.
00:03:09But you should know, Miss White, scars are not marks of shame. They're a warrior's medals.
00:03:16I am here to evaluate your mental state, Dr. Lorenz. Please just answer the questions.
00:03:21Of course, that's the job. By all means, ask away.
00:03:26How do you typically respond, physically or emotionally, when you start to feel...
00:03:34...inappropriate thoughts about a patient?
00:03:36Hmm. Thinking about those impulses makes me warm.
00:03:41You know, this collar is far too tight. It's pressing against my carotid artery.
00:03:46It makes it difficult to think clearly.
00:03:48Do you mind?
00:04:05Your heart's racing. Mine too. Looks 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, but if you're here to take responsibility for me, I
00:04:23suggest you start acting like it.
00:04:27You can start by treating me like a person, not a wild animal.
00:04:41Are you like this on all your first dates? Same nervous posture, same shortness of breath?
00:04:47What is irrelevant? And you are crossing the line.
00:04:52You wear those high collars on all your dates, but you have no idea those boys are drooling over that
00:04:59black lace broad.
00:05:00Enough!
00:05:02Underneath, you're so afraid, terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:05:08You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:05:11You stop projecting your vulgar fantasies onto me.
00:05:15Come here, Aaron. Sit on my lap.
00:05:17You've been eyeing this chair since the moment you walked through that door.
00:05:20The mere thought alone gets you going a million times faster than 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, a smart predator disguises himself as prey.
00:05:45Welcome to my hunting ground, Miss White.
00:05:59Aaron!
00:06:00You ungrateful little tramp!
00:06:02I raise you, and 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. Can we just talk about this at home, okay?
00:06:10Home? The Lone Sharks want to saw my legs off, and 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? You shamelessly suck.
00:06:20No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't, okay? Just please. Let's just talk about...
00:06:25You're so afraid and terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:06:31First of all, you didn't raise me. I put myself through school while you just sat around and spent my
00:06:37mother's insurance money.
00:06:38Second, that money I gave you was charity, not an obligation.
00:06:42And starting today, that charity is closed.
00:06:51And if you ever touch me again, I will have you arrested for assault.
00:07:00You're gonna pay for this! One way or another!
00:07:03Either I get the money, or you're gonna be earning it in your back in a whorehouse!
00:07:12Your evaluation report.
00:07:14It's a complete mess, not to mention the little matter of you leaving it behind with the most dangerous patient
00:07:20in this facility.
00:07:21I'm sorry, Director. It was a rookie mistake.
00:07:23Oh, no. No, it's more than that.
00:07:26Arring out your dirty family laundry for the entire hospital to see?
00:07:29Deeply, deeply unprofessional, Arring.
00:07:32Now, how can an intern who can't even handle her own life possibly be fit to manage our highest-risk
00:07:37patient?
00:07:40However, Mr. Seville, who owns this institution, happens to have a soft spot for ambitious talent.
00:07:49If you were to deliver a truly perfect final report on Victor, I could put in a good word for
00:07:56you.
00:07:57You see, your stepfather's suggestion of earning it, true as it was, I have to admit it has potential.
00:08:03My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:08:10Fine. I will give you a report you'll never forget.
00:08:15The press is crawling all over us about Lorenz.
00:08:19The security costs of keeping him here are astronomical.
00:08:23He's far too dangerous to release.
00:08:25Who would be responsible?
00:08:28Warden Graves.
00:08:29I think I have a solution.
00:08:35Proposal for a one-year, one-on-one guardianship-based therapy for Victor K. Lorenz?
00:08:43What's this?
00:08:44Move him from this facility to a private, secure residence.
00:08:48I will be his sole 24-7 guardian responsible for his psychological treatment and behavioral monitoring.
00:08:53And I will sign a waiver of unlimited liability.
00:08:56Everything he does outside of this hospital will 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 as the new humane therapy model.
00:09:15Honestly, it's perfect PR.
00:09:17Most importantly, if anything goes wrong, she takes the fall.
00:09:21The hospital, the board, we'd be completely insulated.
00:09:26Fine.
00:09:27Passed.
00:09:28You want the responsibility, Ms. 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 dick mad long before he ever lays his hands on him.
00:09:48He destroys them with his words.
00:10:12My job here is done.
00:10:14Good luck.
00:10:15Good luck.
00:10:16Good luck.
00:10:17Good luck.
00:10:18Good luck.
00:10:19Good luck.
00:10:41Dr. Lorenz?
00:10:44Good luck.
00:10:47Good luck.
00:10:48Good luck.
00:10:49Good luck.
00:10:49If the patient is unresponsive,
00:10:52the guardian must assess for environmental risk.
00:11:22What have I gotten myself into?
00:11:43Taylor made for Ms. White, but how?
00:11:49Is it part of the Guardian's duties now to look through a patient's personal effects?
00:11:57I was scanning the area, looking 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.
00:12:17Intrigued?
00:12:18I wanted to see how it would look on you, not just admiring the engraving, were we?
00:12:24Cold 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, Eret, you're mine, because I'm creating you.
00:12:53Now then, time for my checkup.
00:12:55It feels like my temperature's spiking.
00:12:58You should check.
00:13:05Come on now.
00:13:06You're the Guardian.
00:13:07Go ahead, take my temperature.
00:13:21I won't bite, or is there something else that scares you?
00:13:28I will need skin contact for that, Dr. Lorette, if that's okay.
00:13:4398 beats per minute.
00:13:45How would you-
00:13:46Experience.
00:13:47You're using physical contact to blur the line.
00:13:50That is textbook manipulation.
00:13:56What is this, then?
00:13:58Anything?
00:14:00What is this, the utter blessing collapse of Guardian Patient Diary?
00:14:07No, no, no, he cannot do this.
00:14:09Okay, there must be limit-
00:14:12Call me the truth, Aaron.
00:14:14Do you really want me to stop?
00:14:16Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:14:22Do you really want me to stop?
00:14:24Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:14:46Okay, so you used to write it all so crazy and...
00:14:49That's her?
00:14:50The one who got Lowa fired?
00:14:51I heard she played dirty.
00:14:53Shady sluts.
00:14:55Don't say that.
00:14:56She's Victor Lorenz's guardian now.
00:14:59Who dare mess with her.
00:15:05I need to get through this project with Victor to secure that permanent position.
00:15:09And it is what I've always dreamed of.
00:15:12And I can't let him lure me into his dangerous games.
00:15:24It was you wasn't it?
00:15:26You and that psycho.
00:15:28I don't know what you're talking about.
00:15:30Get off me.
00:15:31Don't pretend you don't know.
00:15:33I was fired.
00:15:34Terminated all because of some anonymous bullshit embezzlement file.
00:15:38And don't try to tell me that that's a coincidence.
00:15:40I don't know anything about that.
00:15:42Don't know?
00:15:43You smell like him.
00:15:48Oh Erin you really are something.
00:15:50You are insane.
00:15:52I'm insane.
00:15:53You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion.
00:15:56You're the psycho bitch here.
00:15:59Let me see.
00:16:00Let me see what kind of march that wreath left on you.
00:16:04Oh did he use a collar huh?
00:16:05A whip did he?
00:16:09Oh did he use a collar huh?
00:16:10A whip did he?
00:16:17Well it looks like your career and your manhood end on the same day.
00:16:21You.
00:16:22You just wait you bitch.
00:16:25I'll tell everyone.
00:16:26I'll tell them all what kind of filthy deals you're making with that monster.
00:16:40Embezzlement files.
00:16:41Victor what are you doing behind my back?
00:16:48I expected you sooner.
00:16:50I expected you sooner.
00:17:06Because what sort of thing have you done on your job.
00:17:06Director Logan he was using your name to order ten times the normal dosage.
00:17:11My god he was skimming a fortune on kickbacks.
00:17:14Why would you use my name?
00:17:21but your name is tied to mine
00:17:24my heart
00:17:25eats faster
00:17:41what is this?
00:17:43put it on
00:17:45put it on
00:17:46a smart predator
00:17:49learns to disguise himself
00:17:51as prey
00:18:05it's time for your treatment
00:18:07to begin
00:18:25take off your clothes
00:18:56No.
00:19:41Record the objective state of your body.
00:19:45I don't know what you mean.
00:19:53Do not interpret.
00:19:54Record.
00:19:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:01No, no.
00:20:03Let me out!
00:20:05Let me out, Victor!
00:20:06Let me out!
00:20:08Open the door, Victor!
00:20:10Open the door!
00:20:11No, no, no, no.
00:20:16Worthless trash!
00:20:18Just like your deadbeat dad!
00:20:21My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:20:27Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
00:20:30You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion!
00:20:34No!
00:20:37No!
00:20:40No!
00:20:43No!
00:20:43No!
00:20:44No!
00:20:44No!
00:20:47No!
00:20:48No!
00:20:48No!
00:20:49No!
00:20:49No!
00:20:49No!
00:20:50No!
00:20:52No!
00:20:53No!
00:20:56No!
00:20:57No.
00:20:57I don't vide I just want to die.
00:21:05Not specific enough.
00:21:06I want data.
00:21:07Don't let your fear overcome you, Eren.
00:21:09Fight it.
00:21:09You're strong!
00:21:10Report again!
00:21:13Heart rate is elevated to 144 beats per minute, respiration is shallow, temperature is elevated, psychologically experiencing childhood trauma flashbacks
00:21:24accompanied by intense feelings of abandonment, suicidal ideation.
00:21:34The fear is triggered by dual stimulus of claustrophobia and verbal abuse.
00:21:43Congratulations, you didn't drown in your fear. You observed it.
00:21:58Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.
00:22:14Take me.
00:22:21Take me.
00:22:23Your treatment has just begun.
00:22:36So, Aaron, I need a progress report on the Lorenz guardianship project.
00:22:41Of course, Warden Graves. The evaluation is proceeding as planned and Dr. Lorenz has been very cooperative.
00:22:49Hmm.
00:22:51Do you consider this cooperative?
00:22:58I, um...
00:23:05I, um, I don't know anything about this. This 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. Don't you?
00:23:21You're a smart girl, but I think you're forgetting something. The board assigned you to be his guardian, not for
00:23:29you 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. You need to remember who you are.
00:23:37To keep your professional distance from him. I would hate to see your career end because of a filthy scandal
00:23:44like this.
00:23:46Now, get out!
00:23:53Dr. White, your car is here.
00:23:59Isn't that Victor Lorenz? He actually came to pick her up!
00:24:03Guardian?
00:24:03Yeah, right. More like his sugar baby. I don't understand what she's doing with that madman anyway.
00:24:09They each get what they want. You know he was rumored to be a candidate for warden? And he has
00:24:14money.
00:24:18Are you insane?
00:24:21I don't know what you mean.
00:24:22What are you doing here? I'm sure you saw the news.
00:24:25Of course. A mediocre bit of drivel written to excite a group of idiots.
00:24:30But this is my job. My reputation. Everybody 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?
00:25:02As in the owner of the hospital?
00:25:05What 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...
00:25:14Simply stay here and let those hyenas tear you to pieces.
00:25:17Their choice.
00:25:18If you're mentally ill, let those in be a trap.
00:25:39If you're not a place.
00:25:40I didn't have to be a trap.
00:25:42If you're not a trap.
00:25:43I already knew where meters were.
00:25:46If you're not a trap...
00:25:47Why are you picking this up?
00:25:47If you're not meant to be a trap.
00:25:58Ignore them.
00:26:02Think of them like specimens in a frame.
00:26:05You are the only living thing in this room.
00:26:14Victor!
00:26:16I never thought you'd willingly leave your little cage.
00:26:18Occasionally one must check up on one's past acquisitions to ensure they're being well-maintained.
00:26:25Oh, and this is your latest project?
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, Victor 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?
00:26:57So where's the line?
00:26:58Is he allowed to touch you if he wants?
00:27:02My methods are all within the accepted norms.
00:27:06Biofeedback, psychological suggestion...
00:27:08Darling, drop 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.
00:27:31But you know what?
00:27:31I very much like it.
00:27:36Oh, God, I am so sorry.
00:27:39Such a beautiful dress.
00:27:45Oh, God, I am so sorry.
00:27:49Such a beautiful dress.
00:27:50And now look.
00:27:51It's completely ruined.
00:27:54Trust me.
00:27:55This wine is still cleaner than your new daddy's hands.
00:27:58And where they've been.
00:28:12Miss Sifil, psychologically, an overly aggressive posture usually stems from a deep-seated fear of one's own unstable position.
00:28:22Are you afraid that I'm going to replace you?
00:28:27Victor!
00:28:29Miss White, lovely to see you.
00:28:35It's been a long time, Victor.
00:28:37After your unfortunate little incident, I really didn't expect to see you out socially again.
00:28:44An artist often finds inspiration for his masterpiece in his...
00:28:50failed projects.
00:28:53Miss White, I do apologize on behalf of my daughter.
00:28:58She will, of course, cover the cost of the cleaning.
00:29:03Now listen.
00:29:04We at the Institute have been watching your little guardianship project with great interest.
00:29:09I want you to know, if you come up against any problems, please come to me directly.
00:29:16Now, if you'll excuse us, enjoy your evening.
00:29:22Miss White, I am his perfect masterpiece.
00:29:30You are nothing but a cheap, disposable copy.
00:29:33Just wait.
00:29:34He'll get bored of you soon, and then he'll destroy you himself.
00:29:57Lie down.
00:29:59Routine physical.
00:30:17Well, temperature 98.6.
00:30:20Heart rate 78.
00:30:23Huh.
00:30:25I'm seeing a murmur, Dr. Lorenz.
00:30:29An irregularity?
00:30:32I feel perfectly fine, Miss White.
00:30:35Good.
00:30:36Then we'll just have to continue the assessment.
00:30:40What are you trying to prove, Erin?
00:30:42That what Isabella said is true?
00:30:44I'm not.
00:30:46That she's more beautiful than you?
00:30:48That her family is richer than your stepfather?
00:30:50That I would prefer her over you?
00:30:53Do you report your current state of feeling, Dr. Lorenz?
00:31:00Stop.
00:31:02You know, 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, I expect to see the truth.
00:31:39I've realized I might just be an experiment.
00:31:44A clumsy imitation meant to replace Isabella.
00:31:50I want to break my soul to you.
00:31:57Cause I would die to give what it take.
00:32:07Illusions still on my skin.
00:32:10I want to break my soul to you.
00:32:23Limitless reality.
00:32:30I want to be holy.
00:32:34Like you.
00:32:35Gah!
00:32:39Who am I?
00:32:44I want to be lost in tears.
00:32:48Like you.
00:33:06Now, 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.
00:33:44I 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.
00:34:00So, Isabella 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 that I am bestowing upon you.
00:34:32From this day forward, you are my singular work of art.
00:34:46I have a better idea.
00:34:48I have a better idea.
00:35:17I have a better idea.
00:35:44I have a better idea.
00:35:56Erin, look at me.
00:36:00Victor, I might really be your only masterpiece.
00:36:09I have a better idea.
00:36:13Sometimes I find that the truth is represented in a more artistic way.
00:36:30me.
00:36:47Say my name.
00:36:49Using your new identity.
00:36:51Say my name.
00:36:56Victor, my artist, take me.
00:37:07Ah!
00:37:09No.
00:37:11Ah!
00:37:13Ah!
00:37:14Ah!
00:37:16No.
00:37:17Ah!
00:37:18Ah!
00:37:19Ah!
00:37:35Miss White, these pictures are all over the internet.
00:37:39You have made Black Mountain Asylum a laughingstock.
00:37:42What do you have to say for yourself?
00:37:43I...
00:37:47I have nothing to say.
00:37:50Very well.
00:37:52Given the fact that your grossly inappropriate relationship with your patient has caused irreparable damage to this institution's reputation,
00:38:02this committee has voted unanimously to suspend your internship and 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.
00:38:25Oh God, what was I thinking?
00:38:27And more importantly, if I had a chance to go back, would I do it again?
00:38:32Of 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, using his status and professional expertise to psychologically
00:38:50manipulate you into a coerced, non-consensual contact.
00:38:55All that's required is your signature.
00:39:10You want me to lie?
00:39:12It's not a lie.
00:39:15It's not a lie.
00:39:15You're a victim.
00:39:16Sign this, and not only will we restore your position, but we will use all of our legal resources to
00:39:22get you the justice you so sorely deserve, and 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, and this has nothing to do with him.
00:39:47Who 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.
00:39:56What I am has nothing to do with you.
00:40:01Fine.
00:40:02Get out.
00:40:02And I promise you, you'll pay a painful price for your stupidity today.
00:40:19Karen!
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 of that one-of-a-kind crown you're so proud
00:40:33of?
00:40:34Victor loves collecting broken souls, but 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.
00:40:59I put your collar on.
00:41:27So...
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,
00:42:20piecing them back together just the way he likes,
00:42:23and then putting them on display here for the entertainment.
00:42:27Of others.
00:42:29You're next.
00:42:32No.
00:42:33No, he said that I was his only masterpiece.
00:42:36Masterpiece?
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.
00:43:29Meet me at the, meet me at the, meet me at the, meet me at the station.
00:43:51Is this the final stage of my treatment?
00:43:54You polish me and then train me exactly how you want, and then sell me off to those perverts
00:43:59at your club?
00:44:01Isabella told you this?
00:44:02So you admitted it's true.
00:44:07So you think that low of me?
00:44:08You 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.
00:44:20Do 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.
00:44:50Polishing is not yet complete.
00:45:02What do you want?
00:45:03Aaron, honey, you gotta help me, please.
00:45:06Okay, well I don't have any money, because 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.
00:45:14No, no, no, no, look, I know I've screwed up, and I'm sorry, but 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.
00:45:26You'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.
00:45:57You 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 debt.
00:46:20Get the hell out of my way.
00:46:22Rick Miller, you son of a bitch!
00:46:24Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:46:26Scream all you want, sweetheart.
00:46:30Tonight you belong to me.
00:46:36You might as well stop fighting.
00:46:37Stick with me.
00:46:39You'll be sad for life.
00:46:50Still 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.
00:47:00Kinky, I 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.
00:47:44What are you...
00:47:46Oh, my hand!
00:47:52You!
00:47:53You stay away from us!
00:47:55I will win, win, win!
00:47:56Hit it up!
00:47:57Fucking kill him!
00:48:02Hit it up!
00:48:04Fucking kill him!
00:48:13Oh, my man.
00:48:17You gotta understand it.
00:48:19It was them.
00:48:19They made me do it.
00:48:21Sir, please.
00:48:23I'm scum.
00:48:24I 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'm her father.
00:48:41You can't...
00:48:41I'm her goddamn father!
00:48:51I don't...
00:48:53He touched you.
00:48:57Which hand did you use to touch her?
00:49:00No, I...
00:49:01I didn't touch her.
00:49:02Fuck you!
00:49:05No!
00:49:18No, no, no!
00:49:23No!
00:49:24No!
00:49:26Stop!pawn!
00:49:26No! Oh,
00:49:27Y oppn!
00:49:32Don't move.
00:49:43Mom, this is all my fault.
00:49:48I 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
00:50:12because of the words of some worthless person.
00:50:15Do you think that requires an explanation?
00:50:17No.
00:50:20That is a flaw that requires correction.
00:50:50No, it's not immature.
00:50:52No, it's not what it means.
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.
00:51:58Feeling better?
00:51:59Mm-hmm.
00:52:01Good.
00:52:04But your treatment is not over yet.
00:52:38Hello?
00:52:39Is this Miss Erin White?
00:52:41This is Sam Seville.
00:52:45Mr. Seville, hi.
00:52:47Oh, young lady, don't be nervous.
00:52:49I just wanted to call to apologize.
00:52:52For the injustice you recently suffered.
00:52:55Um, thank you so much for your concern.
00:52:59Listen, 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.
00:53:09I know.
00:53:09I'd like to meet with you privately.
00:53:12Perhaps 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.
00:53:46You had an inappropriate relationship with a patient under your care.
00:53:52Those 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.
00:54:12Seeing you in this situation, it reminds me of Victor.
00:54:18He was my protege.
00:54:20And before his little incident, he was my handpicked successor to run the Institute.
00:54:26Just as the board was about to approve his appointment, malpractice scandal exploded out of nowhere.
00:54:35Are you saying that Victor was framed?
00:54:38That question has haunted me for years.
00:54:42Now, mind you, I have no proof.
00:54:44But Victor might.
00:54:46Victor had a secret research lab.
00:54:49I'm thinking, if there is a key to his innocence, it's hidden there.
00:54:55I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:30I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:31I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:35I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:43I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:43I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:44I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:44I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:47I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
00:55:54I'm thinking, if there is a key to his own, it's hidden there.
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. Find the identity of savior to the self, becoming the subject's sole spiritual anchor. Phase 3.
00:57:07Imprinting. Bestow 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.
00:57:45I'm a masterpiece.
00:57:47I have no soul. The artist gives me meaning. I can't live without the artist. I am 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 wall.
00:58:38It's her. She's crazy. That lunatic victor. They pushed me down the stairs. They broke my leg.
00:58:57So that's what I do. I'm a liar. And a piece of shit. He would have an hypocrite.
00:59:10See this? Typical psychotic episode. I'm afraid she's completely lost it.
00:59:18Miss White. Miss White. Given that your next of kin has accused you of violent behavior, and that you're clearly
00:59:26in a state of extreme mental instability,
00:59:32I'm signing an emergency order for your compulsory admission. You and you are going to remember your faces.
00:59:44Gentlemen? Take her away.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
01:00:09I'm sorry.
01:00:11Nurse. Nurse.
01:00:14There's been a mistake. I am not a patient here. My name is Erin White.
01:00:18I'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'm not lying, okay?
01:00:30Graves. Warden Graves. He framed me, okay? Just give me one phone call. Mr. Seville, he will tell you who
01:00:36I am.
01:00:36Mr. Seville, again. The last patient who thought she was his fiancee 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. No, 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!
01:01:13No! No! No!
01:01:32Isabella.
01:01:34Victor!
01:01:36I was starting to think you'd do something foolish on account of your little pet.
01:01:43Where is Erin?
01:01:44Oh, don't worry. She's in a very safe place, receiving the most professional care.
01:01:50No disturbances. No visitors. Just 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. Let me be yours again tonight.
01:02:09You think you've won.
01:02:11Isabella, the biggest mistake you and your father ever made was taking it out on Erin.
01:02:18I made a mistake?
01:02:20How am I inferior to her? That replacement you scraped out of the garbage!
01:02:25With you, it's always just work. Every 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, then I'll just keep your body.
01:02:47Forever and ever.
01:02:49Forever and ever.
01:03:07Now Erin.
01:03:09I'm giving you one last chance.
01:03:11Admit that you conspired with Victor to assault your stepfather.
01:03:16Volunteer for treatment.
01:03:17and I can make this easier on you.
01:03:21No, you wouldn't do that.
01:03:23It's touching.
01:03:24You're still attempting to protect Mr. Lawrence,
01:03:27but he can't hear you.
01:03:29He's too busy being entertained by Miss Sabelle.
01:03:33What did you just say?
01:03:35Oh, come now, Aaron.
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
01:03:50in a hospital ward.
01:03:54Aaron, you're so stupid.
01:03:57Commence the treatment.
01:04:07A smart predator disguises himself as prey.
01:04:11That's right.
01:04:12I have.
01:04:13That's right.
01:04:13I have to survive.
01:04:14I have to survive.
01:04:15Not wait for him to save this.
01:04:17I have to, personally, send him over to hell.
01:04:23You can't shut down the face!
01:04:32Very good.
01:04:33Very good.
01:04:35That's it, right?
01:04:36There we go.
01:04:50Open your mouth.
01:04:52Go.
01:05:06Open your mouth.
01:05:09Go.
01:05:10Go.
01:05:11That's it.
01:05:38Head.
01:05:39Go.
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.
01:06:3674, 217, what are you doing? Get in line.
01:07:0674, 217, what are you doing?
01:07:10I think Malian 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 them. I will 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 escaping me.
01:07:39But, before, I wanted to die.
01:07:45It was Missaville.
01:07:48She found me.
01:07:50She said, if I didn't sign the papers, if I didn't testify that I was a victim of Victor,
01:07:56they would kill my parents.
01:07:59I signed the papers.
01:08:02Isabella.
01:08:04Of course it was her.
01:08:05Well, you said they. Who is they?
01:08:08Was it Graves? Did Graves make you sign?
01:08:10No.
01:08:12So much scarier than it is a pill I'm causing.
01:08:18Daddy.
01:08:22Is this the final stage of my treatment?
01:08:25Are you saying that Victor was right?
01:08:28That question has haunted me for years.
01:08:30But your treatment is not over yet.
01:08:35So that's it.
01:08:37Victor, you bastard.
01:08:38You weren't lying to me.
01:08:40You really weren't lying.
01:09:09Victor, you genius.
01:09:10Yes. These girls will need more of your special treatment.
01:09:15If you can fix them, the future of the Institute is yours.
01:09:41Water.
01:09:42The genius doctor reduced to begging me for water?
01:09:46You should have learned a long time ago, Victor.
01:09:49The price of defying me is becoming my dog.
01:09:53Isabella, this war... I'm tired.
01:09:57I surrender.
01:10:21I know your records.
01:10:24Thorcene and Haldol.
01:10:27Massive long-term doses. They've just been destroying your brain.

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 Vector.
01:12:02You finally understand Vic.
01:12:04I knew you still had feelings for me.
01:12:06Perhaps a toast.
01:12:07Of course Vic.
01:12:23To you my love.
01:12:24Bye now.
01:12:26Bye now.
01:12:38Bye now.
01:12:40Bye.
01:12:42Our destiny is to be together forever.
01:12:46Bye now.
01:12:47Bye now.
01:12:48Oh.
01:13:21This is Chloe from the New York Times. Who am I speaking to?
01:13:25Someone who can get you a Pulitzer.
01:13:39In other news, the court has filed multiple charges against Dr. Victor Lorenz,
01:13:44including unlawful administration of drugs, illegal confinement, and illegal trafficking.
01:13:49His whereabouts are still unknown.
01:14:02Victor?
01:14:03It's impossible that the entire city is looking for you.
01:14:06The Savilles are the real criminals.
01:14:08This file contains the guest list for their auctions,
01:14:11as well as information on several of the girls who have disappeared.
01:14:14It's not enough to convict them, but it's enough to start a firestorm.
01:14:17Is this real?
01:14:20You're the journalist. You tell me.
01:14:22I have to publish this immediately.
01:14:24No.
01:14:25We don't want a story. We want a trial.
01:14:28Graves has notified the state medical board that a hearing will be held in two days
01:14:31regarding the major ethical scandal at Black Mountain Mental Hospital.
01:14:35Sam, Saville, and Isabella will be in attendance.
01:14:38You want me to...
01:14:40I want you to use every media outlet at your disposal
01:14:42to turn this trumped-up witch hunt
01:14:44into a nationally televised public execution.
01:14:48Livestream it?
01:14:49That's insane. They'll do everything to bury it.
01:14:51Then we need to light a fire so big they can't put it out.
01:14:54I've sold everything.
01:14:56My property, my art, my stocks.
01:14:59All of it is on this card now.
01:15:00It's enough to burn their empire to the ground.
01:15:03Okay.
01:15:05I'm in.
01:15:06One more thing.
01:15:21Sir, there's a story breaking online about the club.
01:15:24An investigative report called the Black Mountain Files.
01:15:30Victor.
01:15:31It's got to be him.
01:15:32You incompetent fools can't keep track of one man.
01:15:38Find Rick Miller.
01:15:40Clean it up.
01:15:43Make it look like he's tying up a loose end.
01:15:46I want him buried so deep he'll never crawl out.
01:15:49Get PR.
01:15:50Bury that story.
01:15:52I don't want to hear a word of it before the hearing.
01:15:55Yes, sir.
01:16:00Your little games are over, Victor.
01:16:24Sir, the online story has been contained.
01:16:27No one who matters is watching this live stream.
01:16:33Miss Erin White, this committee will now conduct a public hearing regarding your alleged gross
01:16:41violation of medical ethics.
01:16:43I ask you now, during your time as Victor Lorenz's guardian, did you engage in an illicit, inappropriate
01:16:50relationship that went beyond your doctor-patient boundary?
01:16:55I admit it.
01:16:57Dr. Victor Lorenz and I are lovers.
01:17:13So you admit it.
01:17:15A gross violation of professional ethics.
01:17:17I 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.
01:17:33My nightmare.
01:17:34And I used to believe that I would live in an endless cycle of self-hate and destruction.
01:17:41Till I met Victor.
01:17:44He saved me.
01:17:46And he gave me the courage to face who I really am.
01:17:50And if it's a crime to love somebody who pulled you out of your own ashes,
01:17:54then it is a charge that I happily accept.
01:18:32What about Victor?
01:18:33Did he or did he not use psychological manipulation against you?
01:18:37Orden Graves, the core of your accusations stems from a forged file called Project Pemillion.
01:18:44And I would like to call the key witness in this case, Lilith Hines.
01:18:53The testimony 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 Seville 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.
01:19:29Isabella, 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?
01:19:46Using 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, stems not from desire,
01:19:58but 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, and 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.
01:20:34The 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.
