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, Aaron.
00:12:47No, Aaron.
00:12:47You're mine.
00:12:49Because I'm creating you.
00:12:53Now then.
00:12:54Time for my checkup.
00:12:56Feels like my temperature's spiking.
00:12:59You should check.
00:13:05Come on now, you're the guardian.
00:13:07Go ahead, take my temperature.
00:13:21I won't bite.
00:13:22Or is there something else that scares you?
00:13:27Rest in your way.
00:13:28Well, I 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?
00:14:00What is this, the utter blessing collapse of guardian patient diary?
00:14:07No, no, no, I cannot do this.
00:14:09Okay, there must be limit...
00:14:11Call 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 Eusterman was so crazy, and that's her?
00:14:49The one who got logo 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.
00:14:58Who dare mess with her?
00:15:05I need to get through this project with Victor to secure that permanent position, and it is what I've always
00:15:10dreamed 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!
00:15:28Cut!
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, and don't try to tell me that that's a coincidence.
00:15:40Bezzlement, I don't know anything about that.
00:15:42Don't know?
00:15:44You...
00:15:46You smell like him.
00:15:48Oh, Aaron, 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 freak 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!
00:16:24I'll tell everyone.
00:16:25I'll tell them all what kind of filthy deals you're making with that, that monster!
00:16:40Embezzlement files.
00:16:41Victor, what are you doing behind my back?
00:16:48I expected you sooner.
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.
00:17:21When your name is tied to mine, my heart eats faster.
00:17:41What is this?
00:17:43Put it on.
00:17:45Put it on.
00:17:46A smart predator learns to disguise himself as prey.
00:18:05It's time for your treatment to begin.
00:18:25Take off your clothes.
00:18:26Husses.
00:18:51Husses.
00:18:56Audit.
00:18:57No.
00:19:41Record the objective state of your body.
00:19:45I don't know what you mean.
00:19:53Do not interpret. Record.
00:19:59No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no.
00:20:03Let me out! Let me out, Victor! Let me out!
00:20:07Open the door, Victor!
00:20:10Open the door!
00:20:16Worthless trash, just 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.
00:20:31You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion!
00:20:45Do not cry. Emotional report. Report your current physiological and psychological state now.
00:20:52My heart is beating up really fast and I can't. It's really cold. I want my mom and I just
00:21:04want to die.
00:21:04Not specific enough. I want data. Don't let your fear overcome you, Aaron. Fight it. You're strong. Report 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 a suicidal ideation.
00:21:34The fear is triggered by a 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. Take 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. The evaluation is proceeding as planned and Dr. Lorenz has been very... cooperative.
00:22:49Hmm. Do you consider this cooperative?
00:22:59I, 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.
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. You 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.
00:23:46Now 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?
00:24:04Yeah, right. More 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. You 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? 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.
00:24:36Your reputation?
00:24:39You mean that hollow shell that had you wearing those high collars and apologizing for breathing?
00:24:44Erin, 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?
00:25:04What 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. Your choice.
00:25:40On the near Ass.
00:25:42Please stay here and ask them.
00:25:44Why are they trying to express the vulcanized BRIG's I mean.
00:25:48Will O'Hikaloo is seen a Ohh-
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
00:26:15Victor, I 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 guardian
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?
00:26:56So 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
00:27:05Biofeedback
00:27:06Psychological suggestion
00:27:08Darling, drop the guardian act
00:27:11You'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
00:27:25Victor picked it out
00:27:28He did
00:27:31But you know what?
00:27:31I very much like it
00:27:34Achoo!
00:27:36Oh God, I am so sorry
00:27:39Such a beautiful dress
00:27:43Achoo!
00:27:45Oh God, I am so sorry
00:27:48Such a beautiful dress
00:27:50And now look
00:27:51It's completely ruined
00:27:54Trust me
00:27:55This wine
00:27:56Is still cleaner than 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 that 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
00:28:50Failed projects
00:28:53Miss White
00:28:54I do apologize
00:28:57On behalf of my daughter
00:28:58She will, of course
00:29:00Cover the cost of the cleaning
00:29:02Now listen
00:29:03We 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
00:29:14Come 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 disposable coffee
00:29:33Just wait
00:29:34He'll get bored of you soon
00:29:35And then
00:29:36He'll destroy you himself
00:29:57Lie down
00:29:58Routine physical
00:30:16Well, temperature 98.6
00:30:20Heart rate 78
00:30:23Huh
00:30:25I'm seeing a murmur
00:30:27Dr. Lorenz
00:30:29An irregularity
00:30:32I feel perfectly fine, Miss White
00:30:34Good
00:30:35Then 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
00:30:45That she's more beautiful than you
00:30:47That her family is richer than your stepfather
00:30:50That I would prefer her over you
00:30:53Do you
00:30:55Report your current state of feeling, Dr. 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?
00:31:15Is this for her?
00:31:20This physical is over
00:31:21In today's emotional report
00:31:23I 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
00:32:09A clumsy imitation meant to replace Isabella
00:32:40Who am I?
00:32:41I'm still alive
00:32:44I want to be lost
00:32:47And please hold you
00:32:51I want to be holy
00:32:55Holy
00:33:02No
00:33:06If I'm going to be his work of art
00:33:10And I am going to be his one and only
00:33:17Masterpiece
00:33:39Here's my report
00:33:42And I'll admit it
00:33:43I was jealous of Isabella
00:33:44I wanted to be a masterpiece like her
00:33:47But the thing that I'm afraid of most
00:33:49Is that I'm not even qualified to replace her
00:33:53You're wrong
00:34:01Isabella was a failed draft from early in my career
00:34:06A ruined canvas
00:34:09But you, Arryn
00:34:14You are the one-of-a-kind, perfect masterpiece
00:34:17That I've spent my life searching for
00:34:19A masterpiece?
00:34:20This is not meant to mark my property
00:34:25This is a crown
00:34:27That I am bestowing upon you
00:34:31From this day forward
00:34:33You are my singular work of art
00:34:45I have a better idea
00:34:48.
00:34:49.
00:34:49.
00:34:49.
00:34:49.
00:34:57.
00:34:57.
00:36:00Victor, am I really your only masterpiece?
00:36:09I never know.
00:36:13Sometimes I find that the truth has been presented in a more artistic way.
00:36:47Say my name.
00:36:48I'm losing your new identity.
00:36:51Say my name.
00:36:56Victor.
00:36:58My artist.
00:37:01Take me.
00:37:02Ah!
00:37:09Ah!
00:37:13Ah!
00:37:14Ah!
00:37:16Ah!
00:37:16Ah!
00:37:17Ah!
00:37:20Ah!
00:37:22Ah!
00:37:22Ah!
00:37:22Ah!
00:37:22Ah!
00:37:35Ms. 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
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.
00:38:25Look, 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,
00:38:46using his status and professional expertise to psychologically manipulate you
00:38:51into a coerced, non-consensual contact.
00:38:55All of this 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
00:39:21resources to get you the justice you so sorely deserve, and to put that monster away where
00:39:27he 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
00:39:46him.
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.
00:39:55What 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.
00:40:23Do 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 any pathetic little stray.
00:40:44I put your collar on.
00:40:53...
00:40:54...
00:40:55I don't know.
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.
00:42:34He 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.
00:42:46Here.
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.
00:43:03Every few months, Victor hosts an auction.
00:43:07The highest bidder gets to acquire the artwork for a while.
00:43:11And 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?
00:44:08You 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!
00:44:50The polishing is not yet complete.
00:45:02What do you want?
00:45:03Erin!
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, I need to give you what's left of your mom's things.
00:45:25I have them right here.

00:45:38This will be the last time I see you.

00:50:17No, that is a flaw that requires correction.
00:51:02I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:51:30Remember this feeling, your body is made for pleasure, not for fear.
00:51:57Feeling better?
00:51:59Mm-hmm.
00:52:01Good.
00:52:04But your treatment is not over yet.
00:52:09Good.
00:52:13Good.
00:52:17Good.
00:52:18Good.
00:52:23Good.
00:52:24Thank you so much.
00:52:38Hello?
00:52:39Is this Miss Aaron White?
00:52:41This is Sam Seville.
00:52:45Mr. Saville, hi!
00:52:47Oh, 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.
00:52:59Listen, 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.
00:53:08I know.
00:53:09I'd like to meet with you privately.
00:53:12Perhaps I can help you out of this little predicament, Yuri.
00:53:26Oh, you poor dear.
00:53:27You look absolutely pale with fear.
00:53:38Mr. Saville.
00:53:40Thank you for seeing me in Victor.
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, it 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 protégé.
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, it's hidden there.
00:55:03AARON
00:55:04AARON
00:55:05AARON
00:55:05AARON
00:55:05Victor only trusts the people he chooses.
00:55:08And right now, that means you.
00:55:13You alone.
00:57:46I'm a masterpiece.
00:57:48I have no soul.
00:57:50The artist gives me meaning.
00:57:52I can't live without the artist.
00:57:55I am a masterpiece.
00:58:18I am a masterpiece.
00:58:20Well, well, well.
00:58:22Well, Ms. White.
00:58:29Breaking into a secure research lab in the middle of the night, no longer just breach
00:58:35of ethics.
00:58:35This is breaking the wall.
00:58:38It's her.
00:58:39She's crazy.
00:58:41That lunatic victor, they pushed me down the stairs.
00:58:44They broke my leg.
00:58:57Well, that's what I do, a liar, and a piece of shit he would have never cried out.
00:59:10See this?
00:59:11Typical psychotic episode.
00:59:14I'm afraid she's completely lost it.
00:59:18Ms. 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, I'm signing an emergency order for your compulsory
00:59:36admission.
00:59:36You.
00:59:40And you are going to remember your faces.
00:59:45Gentlemen, take her away.
00:59:49No.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
00:59:58I will.
01:00:02No.
01:00:07No.
01:00:09No.
01:00:10No.
01:00:11No.
01:00:13No.
01:00:15been a mistake. I am not a patient here. My name is Erin White. I'm an intern. Half the people
01:00:20in
01:00:20here say there's someone else. Napoleon, Cleopatra. You're the first one to claim to be a doctor.
01:00:26I'm not lying, okay? Graves. Warden Graves. He framed me, okay? Just give me one phone call.
01:00:34Mr. Seville, he will tell you who I am. Mr. Seville again. The last patient who thought
01:00:39she was his fiance is still singing opera in the room next door. Now 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. Whether you're
01:00:49sick
01:00:49or not isn't up to you here. Hold her down. Hold her down. No, no, no, no.
01:01:32Isabella. Victor. I was starting to think you'd do something foolish on account of your little pet.
01:01:43Where is Erin? Oh, 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. I 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? How 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.
01:03:07Now, Erin, I'm giving you one last chance.
01:03:11Admit that you conspired with Victor to assault your stepfather.
01:03:15You volunteer 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. You'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, 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.
01:03:57Commence 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.
01:04:32Very, very 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.
01:05:10Go.
01:05:10Go.
01:05:11Go.
01:05:11Go.
01:05:11Go.
01:05:11Go.
01:05:37I don't know.
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!
01:06:41No, no, no, no, no.
01:07:12It's 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. I'll hear them. I won't thank you.
01:07:27Look at me.
01:07:29We're not alone.
01:07:32Victor.
01:07:33Victor.
01:07:35This is my back.
01:07:36He didn't hurt me.
01:07:37He was eating me.
01:07:39But before, I wanted to die.
01:07:45It was Ms. Saville.
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.
01:08:02Is it Ella?
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.
01:08:15Is it Bella?
01:08:16I'm causing you.
01:08:19Daddy.
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.
01:08:30Your treatment is not over yet.
01:08:35So that's it?
01:08:37Victor, you bastard.
01:08:38You weren't lying to me.
01:08:39You really weren't lying.
01:08:41You really weren't lying.
01:09:08Fixer, you genius.
01:09:10These 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.
01:09:52Miss Bella.
01:09:54This war.
01:09:55I'm tired.

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.
01:11:55I 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 toast.
01:12:08Of course Vic.
01:12:23To you my love.
01:12:40Our destiny is to be together forever.
01:12:45All right.
01:12:46All right.
01:13:21This is Chloe from the New York Times.
01:13:23Who 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, including
01:13:44unlawful 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, as well as information on several
01:14:13of 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?
01:14:19You're the journalist.
01:14:21You tell me.
01:14:22I have to publish this.
01:14:23Immediately.
01:14:24No.
01:14:25We don't want a story.
01:14:26We want a trial.
01:14:28Graves has notified the state medical board that a hearing will be held in two days regarding
01:14:32the major ethical scandal at Black Mountain Mental Hospital.
01:14:35Sam Seville 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 to turn this trumped-up witch hunt
01:14:44into a nationally televised public execution.
01:14:48Livestream it?
01:14:49That's insane.
01:14:50They'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.
01:15:01It's enough to burn their empire to the ground.
01:15:03Okay.
01:15:05I'm in.
01:15:05One 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 gotta be him.
01:15:32You incompetent fools can't keep track of one man.
01:15:38Find Rick Miller.
01:15:40Clean it up.
01:15:42Make 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.
01:15:57Yes, sir.
01:16:24Sir, the online story has been contained.
01:16:26No one who matters is watching this live stream.
01:16:34Miss 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,
01:16:49inappropriate relationship that went beyond your doctor-patient boundary?
01:16:54I admit it.
01:16:56Dr. 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?
01:18:37Warden Graves, the core of your accusations stems from a forged file called Project Pagmillion.
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 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.
01:19:29Isabella, I understand your pain.
01:19:35Subject exhibits extreme possessiveness, seeking attention by creating chaos.
01:19:40Does 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,
01:19:57stems not from desire, but a deep-seated desperation for a sense of belonging.
01:20:03Stop it. Stop 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. Me!
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.
