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.
00:01:55Shhhhhh.
00:01:56Shhhhhh.
00:02:01Shhhhhh.
00:02:19Thanks, Dr. Lorentz.
00:02:21Victor, I'm Erin White.
00:02:25Let's begin your evaluation.
00:02:30Fifty-five percent cashmere blend, that 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.
00:03:03Peroxide and Vaseline, very practical.
00:03:06The 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
00:03:15medals.
00:03:16I am here to evaluate your mental state, Dr. Lorentz.
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, when you start to feel inappropriate
00:03:34thoughts 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, it's pressing against my carotid artery, it makes
00:03:46it difficult to think clearly.
00:03:47Do you mind?
00:04:04Hmm.
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. Lorentz.
00:04:18You can keep me tied up here if you want, but if you're here to take responsibility for
00:04:22me, I suggest 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?
00:04:44Same 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
00:04:58over that black lace bra.
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.
00:05:16Sit 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
00:05:26little boys' cars, doesn'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, Ms. White.
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.
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, 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?
00:06:19You shamelessly sucky.
00:06:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:06:21I didn't, okay?
00:06:22Just, please.
00:06:22Let'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.
00:06:34I put myself through school while you just sat around and spent my mother'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.
00:07:16Not to mention the little matter of you leaving it behind with the most dangerous patient in 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 for the entire hospital to see?
00:07:30Deeply unprofessional, Erin.
00:07:32Now, how can an intern who can't even handle her own life possibly be fit to manage a highest risk
00:07:37patient?
00:07:40However, Mr. Seville, who owns this institution, happens to have a soft spot for ambitious talent.
00:07:50If you were to deliver a truly perfect final report on Victor, I could put in a good word for
00:07:56you.
00:07:56You see, your stepfather's suggestion of earning it, crude as it was, I have to admit it has potential.
00:08:04My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:08:10Fine. I will give you a report you'll never forget.
00:08:16The 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?
00:08:28Wooden 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, it would drastically cut security costs.
00:09:10True.
00:09:10We could spin it to the media as the new humane therapy model.
00:09:15Honestly, it's perfect PR.
00:09:16Most importantly, if anything goes wrong, she takes the fall.
00:09:21The hospital, the board, we'd be completely insulated.
00:09:26Fine.
00:09:27Past.
00:09:28You want the responsibility, Ms. White?
00:09:30It's yours.
00:09:32For better.
00:09:35Or 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 long before he ever lays 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.
00:10:40Dr. Lorenz?
00:10:49If the patient is unresponsive, the guardian must assess for environmental risk.
00:11:21What have I gotten myself into?
00:11:42What have I gotten myself into?
00:11:45But how?
00:11:48Is 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.
00:12:20Not just...
00:12:22admiring the engraving.
00:12:23Were we?
00:12:24Cold metal on the neck.
00:12:27More of a thrill than you expected?
00:12:29Yeah.
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, Eren.
00:12:47You're mine.
00:12:49Because I'm creating you.
00:12:53Now then.
00:12:54Time for my check-up.
00:12:56Feels like my temperature's spiking.
00:12:59You should check.
00:13:05Come on now.
00:13:06You're the guardian.
00:13:07Go ahead.
00:13:08Take my temperature.
00:13:20You're the guardian.
00:13:21I won't bite.
00:13:22Or is there something else that scares you?
00:13:27Rest in your weight.
00:13:28While I will meet skin contact for that, Dr. Loretz.
00:13:31If that's okay.
00:13:43Ninety-eight 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, I 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 were so crazy, and that's her?
00:14:49The one who got Lobo fired?
00:14:51I heard she played dirty.
00:14:53Shady sluts.
00:14:55Don't say that.
00:14:56She's Victor Lorenzo'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!
00:15:28Cut!
00:15:29I 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, terminated, all because of some anonymous bullshit embezzlement file, and don't try to tell me that that's
00:15:39a coincidence!
00:15:40That's something, I don't know anything about that!
00:15:42You don't know?
00:15:44You...
00:15:46You 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, let me see what kind of marks 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?
00:16:13Well, 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...
00:16:26I'll tell them all what kind of filthy deals you're making with that...
00:16:30That monster!
00:16:40Messelman 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.
00:17:14Why would you use my name?
00:17:21When your name is tied to mine...
00:17:24My heart eats faster.
00:17:41What is this?
00:17:43Put it on.
00:17:45Put it on.
00:17:47A smart predator learns to disguise himself as prey.
00:18:06It's time for your treatment to begin.
00:18:21It's time for your treatment to begin.
00:18:25Take off your clothes.
00:18:26Take off your clothes.
00:18:56All of it.
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.
00:19:54Record.
00:19:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 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!
00:20:16Worthless trash!
00:20:17Just like your deadbeat dad!
00:20:22My 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!
00:20:33No!
00:20:45Do not cry.
00:20:47Emotional report.
00:20:49Report your current physiological and psychological state now.
00:20:52My heart is beating up really fast and I can't.
00:20:58It's really cold.
00:21:02I want my mom and I just want to die!
00:21:04Not specific enough.
00:21:06I want data.
00:21:07Don't let your fear overcome you, Erin.
00:21:09Fight it.
00:21:09You're strong.
00:21:10Report again.
00:21:13Heart rate is elevated to 144 beats per minute.
00:21:18Respiration is shallow.
00:21:20Temperature is elevated.
00:21:21Psychologically experiencing childhood trauma flashbacks.
00:21:25Accompanied by intense feelings of...
00:21:28Handed and...
00:21:28Suicidal ideation.
00:21:34The fear is triggered by a dual stimulus of claustrophobia and verbal abuse.
00:21:40mangled dog challenge.
00:21:43Congratulations.
00:21:44You didn't drown in your fear.
00:21:45You observed it.

00:24:36your 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
00:25:01is in the owner of the hospital
00:25:04what would I possibly do there
00:25:06step into the spotlight and
00:25:08show them that you're not a mere intern they can humiliate and overpower
00:25:13or
00:25:14simply stay here and let those hyenas tear you to pieces
00:25:17your choice
00:25:30but
00:25:32they don't want to know
00:25:34if we don't want to know
00:25:35we've been working
00:25:40we're leaving
00:25:41Don't ban
00:25:41you
00:25:50I'm going from the
00:25:53you
00:25:53you
00:25:56I'm going from the
00:25:57I'm going from the
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.
00:26:49Always had a thing for broken souls.
00:26:51But I'm curious, is 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 you.
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!
00:27:37Oh, God, I am so sorry.
00:27:39Such a beautiful dress.
00:27:43Achoo!
00:27:46Oh, 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 line is still cleaner than your new daddy's hands.
00:27:58And where they've been.
00:28:12Miss Seville, psychologically, an overly aggressive posture usually stems from a deep-seated fear of one's own unstable position.
00:28:23Are 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.
00:28:37Victor, after 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 failed projects.
00:28:53Miss White, I do apologize on behalf of my daughter.
00:28:59She 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.
00:29:22I 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, 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.
00:30:25I'm seeing a murmur, Dr. Lorenz.
00:30:30An irregularity.
00:30:33I 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?
00:30:45I'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?
00:30:54Do 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.
00:31:43A clumsy imitation meant to replace Isabella.
00:31:50I wanna break my soul.
00:31:55And write my soul.
00:31:57So I would die to give, what I take.
00:32:06Illusions, still on my skin.
00:32:11No worrying, I'm pulling me in.
00:32:20Just keep my gravity.
00:32:39Who am I?
00:33:04No. 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. I wanted to be a masterpiece like her,
00:33:47but the thing that I'm afraid of most is 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. A ruined canvas.
00:34:46I have a better idea.
00:34:48I have a better idea.
00:35:42I have a better idea.
00:35:46I have a better idea.
00:35:47I have a better idea.
00:36:00I have a better idea.
00:36:04I have a better idea.
00:36:13Sometimes I find that the truth has been presented in a more artistic way.
00:36:31I have a better idea.
00:36:47I have a better idea.
00:36:47Say my name.
00:36:49Losing your new identity.
00:36:51Say my name.
00:36:55Victor.
00:36:57My artist.
00:37:01Take me.
00:37:02Ah, just pen 되는 me.
00:37:16And please help me.
00:37:27I have a better idea.
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 you're grossly in an appropriate relationship with
00:37:56your patient has 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.
00:38:25Oh 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.
00:38:36We'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
00:38:47professional expertise to psychologically manipulate you into a coerced, non-consensual contact.
00:38:55All that's required is your signature.
00:39:10You want me to lie?
00:39:13You 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, but we will use all of our legal resources
00:39:22to get 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?
00:39:41I 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.
00:40:03I promise you, you'll pay a painful price for your stupidity today.
00:40:19You'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 of that one-of-a-kind crown you're so proud
00:40:33of?
00:40:34Victor loves collecting broken souls.
00:40:36But 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.
00:41:14Again, what time is he talking about?
00:41:20I didn't have to do either.
00:41:26You loved the family.
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.
00:42:52You'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.
00:43:11And you, you look just about perfectly polished.
00:43:16I imagine at the next acquisition night, you'll be the main exhibit.
00:43:29Meet 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.
00:44:07Don't 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.
00:45:07Okay, 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.
00:45:15No, no, no, no, look, I know I've screwed up, and 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.
00:45:26You'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.
00:46:12Not 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 set 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.
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...
00:47:53You stay away from us.
00:47:55All right, we're with, we're with...
00:47:56Hit it up!
00:47:57Fucking kill him!
00:48:02Hit it up!
00:48:04Fucking kill him!
00:48:16No, my man.
00:48:17You gotta understand.
00:48:19It was them.
00:48:19They made me do it.
00:48:21Sir.
00:48:22Please.
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!
00:48:29For Aaron's sake!
00:48:34It won't happen again, I swear.
00:48:36Please!
00:48:37For Aaron's sake!
00:48:38Please.
00:48:39I'm her father.
00:48:41You can't...
00:48:41I'm her goddamn father!
00:48:53He touched you.
00:48:57Which hand did you use to touch her?
00:49:00No, I...
00:49:01I didn't touch her.
00:49:07I didn't touch her.
00:49:10No, I didn't touch her.
00:49:24No, I didn't touch her.
00:49:32Don't move
00:49:46This is all my fault. I shouldn't have went after him
00:49:55Why aren't you saying anything? Isabella 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 person
00:50:15Do you think that requires an explanation? No
00:50:20That is a flaw that requires correction
00:51:01I should say a few words
00:51:02I should say a few words
00:51:02I should say a few words
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.
00:51:57Feeling better?
00:51:59Mm-hmm.
00:52:01Good.
00:52:04That your treatment is not over yet.
00:52:35I'm going to be able to do it.
00:52:38Hello?
00:52:39Is this Miss Erin 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.
00:53:09I'd like to meet with you privately.
00:53:13Mr. Seville.
00:53:13Perhaps I can help you out of this little predicament, Yuri.
00:53:25Oh, you poor dear.
00:53:27You look absolutely pale with fear.
00:53:38Mr. Seville.
00:53:40Mr. Seville, thank you for seeing me in Victor and Harley.
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.
00:54:13Seeing 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.
00:54:36Are you saying that Victor was framed?
00:54:38That question has haunted me for years.
00:54:42Now mind you, I have no proof, but 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.
00:54:55There.
00:55:04Aaron, Victor only trusts the people he chooses.
00:55:08And right now, that means you.
00:55:13You alone.
00:55:28You won't get you.
00:55:30His droid.
00:55:30He means he apples to 31 of them.
00:55:45No regrets.
00:55:51Let's wait for 13 or anything.
00:55:52You won't listen to the mouse.
00:55:53Hang on.
00:55:53Oh wait, what did you say?
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.
00:57:46I'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.
00:57:56I am a masterpiece.
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. I'm a hypocrite.
00:59:09You see this? Typical psychotic episode.
00:59:14I'm afraid she's completely lost it. Miss White, given that your next of kin has accused you of violent behavior,
00:59:24and that you're clearly in a state 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.
01:00:08I'm sorry.
01:00:16I'm sorry.
01:00:19I'm a 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.
01:00:26Wait a minute. I'm not lying, okay?
01:00:30Graves. Warden Graves. He 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 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! No!
01:01:32Isabella.
01:01:33Victor! Yes!
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.
01:01:56I will.
01:01:58I 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.
01:03:16Volunteer 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. 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?
01:03:34Oh, 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. I have to survive.
01:04:13That's right. I 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 all of you to hell.
01:04:23Stuck it just out of the face!
01:04:31Very good.
01:04:34That's it, right?
01:04:36There we go.
01:04:50Open your mouth.
01:04:53Go.
01:05:07Open your mouth.
01:05:09Go.
01:05:44I don't need treatment.
01:05:46I'm not sick.
01:05:47Everyone line up.
01:05:49Back to your rooms.
01:05:52The artist gives me meaning.
01:06:12Don't touch it.
01:06:14I wasn't.
01:06:15I was just admiring your masterpiece.
01:06:22Did Victor give that to you?
01:06:24I know he gave me one too and he said that I was his one and only.
01:06:27No, I don't.
01:06:29I don't know.
01:06:30And then I found out that I was part of just some experiment called Project Familia.
01:06:35734.
01:06:36217.
01:06:37What are you doing?
01:06:37Get in line.
01:07:06What are you doing?
01:07:11Pygmalion is alive.
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 will thank you.
01:07:27Look at me.
01:07:29You are not alone.
01:07:32Victor.
01:07:32You have gone.
01:07:34This is my dad. He didn't hurt me. He was saving me.
01:07:39But, before, I wanted to die.
01:07:45It was Miss Avil.
01:07:48She found me. She said if I didn't sign the papers,
01:07:52if I didn't testify that I was a victim of Victor,
01:07:56it 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?
01:08:11No.
01:08:12It's so much scarier than...
01:08:16Isabella and Gawson.
01:08:19Daddy.
01:08:22Is this the final stage of my treatment?
01:08:25Are you saying that Victor was a friend?
01:08:28That question has haunted me for years.
01:08:30That your treatment is not over yet.
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:35So that's it.
01:08:37Victor, you bastard.
01:08:39You weren't lying to me.
01:08:40You really weren't lying.
01:08:50No.
01:08:52No.
01:08:57No!
01:08:59No!
01:09:00No!
01:09:02No!
01:09:09Victor Eugenius, 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?
01:09:47You 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, I surrender.
01:10:21I know your records.

01:11:51I can't fight her father.
01:11:52I can't escape you.
01:11:53You 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 a toast.
01:12:07Of course Vic.
01:12:23To you my love.
01:12:24Nothing, just a toast.
01:12:25I'm.
01:12:38I'll never forget.
01:12:41You're right.
01:12:42You're right.
01:12:42Our is a mystery.
01:12:42Our destiny is to be together forever.
01:12:44Whatever.
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,
01:13:44including unlawful administration of drugs, illegal confinement, and illegal trafficking.
01:13:49His whereabouts are still unknown.
01:14:02Victor?
01:14:03Impossible. The entire city is looking for you.
01:14:06The Seville's 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.
01:14:27Graves 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, 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
01:14:42to turn this trumped-up witch hunt into 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, it's got to be him.
01:15:33You 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.
01:15:51Bury that story.
01:15:52I don't want to hear a word of it before the hearing.
01:15:55Yes, sir.
01:16:01Your little games are over, Victor.
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 violation of medical ethics.
01:16:43I ask you now, during your time as Victor Lorenz's guardian, did you engage in an illicit, inappropriate relationship that
01:16:51went beyond your doctor-patient boundary?
01:16:55I admit it.
01:16:57Dr. Victor Lorenz and I are lovers.
01:17:16I 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, then it is a
01:17:55charge 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 Pemillion.
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.
01:19:29Isabella, 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?
01:19:45Using 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, stems not from desire, but a deep-seated desperation
01:20:01for a sense of belonging.
01:20:03Stop it. Stop 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!
01:20:25Members 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.
01:20:38But 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.
01:21:00Killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:21:02Killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:21:03Killed by Victor Lorenz.
