00:00:14The Rockside and Vaseline. Very practical. The rose oil would help the scarring fade faster.
00:00:21But you should know, Miss White, scars are not marks of shame. They're a warrior's medals.
00:00:27I am here to evaluate your mental state, Dr. Lorenz. Please just answer the questions.
00:00:33Of course. That's the job. By all means, ask away.
00:00:38How do you typically respond, physically or emotionally, when you start to feel...
00:00:46...inappropriate thoughts about a patient?
00:00:48Hmm. Thinking about those impulses makes me...warm.
00:00:53You know, this collar is far too tight. It's pressing against my carotid artery.
00:00:58Makes it difficult to think clearly. Do you mind?
00:01:01Yes.
00:01:17Emma, your heart's racing. Mine too. Looks like the room's heating up.
00:01:27Just answer the questions directly, Dr. Lorenz.
00:01:30You can keep me tied up here if you want, but if you're here to take responsibility for me, I
00:01:35suggest you start acting like it.
00:01:39You can start by treating me like a person, not a wild animal.
00:01:53Are you like this on all your first dates? Same nervous posture, same shortness of breath?
00:01:59What is irrelevant, and you are crossing the line.
00:02:04You wear those high collars on all your dates, but you have no idea those boys are drooling over that
00:02:11black lace bronze.
00:02:12Enough!
00:02:14Underneath, you're so afraid, terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:02:20You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:02:23You stop projecting your vulgar fantasies onto me!
00:02:27Come here, Aaron. Sit on my lap.
00:02:29You've been eyeing this chair since the moment you walked through that door.
00:02:32The mere thought alone gets you going a million times faster than the passenger seats of those little boys' cars,
00:02:39doesn't it?
00:02:41Come on.
00:02:45Sit on my lap.
00:02:50To answer your original question, a smart predator disguises himself as prey.
00:02:57Welcome to my hunting ground, Miss White.
00:03:11Aaron!
00:03:12You ungrateful little tramp!
00:03:14I raise you, and this is all the thanks I get?
00:03:17What the hell am I supposed to do with this?
00:03:19This is my workplace. Can we just talk about this at home, okay?
00:03:22Home?
00:03:22The Lone Sharks want to saw my legs off, and you want me to go home?
00:03:26What did you do with the rest of it, huh?
00:03:28No, I...
00:03:29Spending him on some guy?
00:03:31You shamelessly slut.
00:03:33No, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't, okay? Just please. Let's just talk about...
00:03:37You're so afraid and terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:03:43First of all, you didn't raise me. I put myself through school while you just sat around and spent my
00:03:49mother's insurance money.
00:03:50Second, that money I gave you was charity, not an obligation.
00:03:54And starting today, that charity is closed.
00:04:03And if you ever touch me again, I will have you arrested for assault.
00:04:12You're gonna pay for this! One way or another!
00:04:15Either I get the money, or you're gonna be earning it in your back in a whorehouse!
00:04:24Your evaluation report. It's a complete mess. Not to mention the little matter of you leaving it behind with the
00:04:31most dangerous patient in this facility.
00:04:33I'm sorry, Director. It was a rookie mistake.
00:04:35Oh, no. No, it's more than that.
00:04:38Arring out your dirty family laundry for the entire hospital to see?
00:04:42Deeply unprofessional, Erin.
00:04:44Now how can an intern who can't even handle her own life possibly be fit to manage a highest risk
00:04:49patient?
00:04:52However, Mr. Seville, who owns this institution, happens to have a soft spot for ambitious talent.
00:05:02If you were to deliver a truly perfect final report on Victor, I could put in a good word for
00:05:08you.
00:05:09You see, your stepfather's suggestion of earning it, crude as it was, I have to admit it has potential.
00:05:15My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:05:22Fine. I will give you a report you'll never forget.
00:05:28The press is crawling all over us about Lorenz.
00:05:31The security costs of keeping him here are astronomical.
00:05:35He's far too dangerous to release. Who'd be responsible?
00:05:40Warden Graves, I think I have a solution.
00:05:47Proposal for a one-year, one-on-one guardianship-based therapy for Victor K. Lorenz?
00:05:55What's this?
00:05:56Move him from this facility to a private, secure residence.
00:06:00I will be his sole 24-7 guardian responsible for his psychological treatment and behavioral monitoring.
00:06:05And I will sign a waiver of unlimited liability.
00:06:08Everything he does outside of this hospital will be my sole responsibility.
00:06:14She's insane. This is absurd.
00:06:17Wait!
00:06:18This proposal, it would drastically cut security costs.
00:06:22True.
00:06:22We could spin it to the media as the new humane therapy model.
00:06:27Honestly, it's perfect PR.
00:06:29Most importantly, if anything goes wrong, she takes the fall.
00:06:33The hospital, the board, we'd be completely insulated.
00:06:38Fine.
00:06:39Past.
00:06:40You want the responsibility, Ms. White?
00:06:42It's yours.
00:06:44For better,
00:06:47or for worse.
00:06:51Why is he even wearing his mask?
00:06:53Isn't he just a psychiatric patient?
00:06:55They say his mouth is his most dangerous weapon.
00:06:57He drives his victims mad long before he ever lays his hands on them.
00:07:00He destroys them with his words.
00:07:24My job here is done. Good luck.
00:07:52Dr. Lorenz?
00:08:01If the patient is unresponsive, the guardian must assess for environmental risk.
00:08:34What have I gotten myself into?
00:08:55Taylor made for Ms. White?
00:08:57But how?
00:09:01Is it part of the guardian's duties now to look through a patient's personal effects?
00:09:05Is it part of the guardian's duties now to look through a patient's personal effects?
00:09:09I was scanning the area, looking for hazards.
00:09:15Your pupils say otherwise.
00:09:22Why do I feel like this around him?
00:09:26It's like I'm captivated.
00:09:29Intrigued?
00:09:30I wanted to see how we look on you.
00:09:32Not just admiring the engraving, were we?
00:09:36Cold metal on the neck.
00:09:39More of a thrill than you expected.
00:09:46Your definition of thrill is always tied to control.
00:09:52Is this gift your mark of ownership?
00:09:55Ownership?
00:09:57No, Aaron.
00:09:59You're mine.
00:10:01No, Aaron.
00:10:02Because I'm creating you.
00:10:04Now then, time for my checkup.
00:10:08Feels like my temperature's spiking.
00:10:10You should check.
00:10:17Come on now.
00:10:18You're the guardian.
00:10:19Go ahead.
00:10:20Take my temperature.
00:10:33I won't bite.
00:10:34Or is there something else that scares you?
00:10:39Rest your heart rate.
00:10:40Well, I will need skin contact for that, Dr. Loretz.
00:10:43If that's okay.
00:10:5598 beats per minute.
00:10:57How would you-
00:10:58Experience.
00:10:59You're using physical contact to blur the line.
00:11:02That is textbook manipulation.
00:11:08What is this then?
00:11:11Anything?
00:11:12What is this?
00:11:13The utter blessing collapse of guardian patient diary?
00:11:19No, no, no.
00:11:19I cannot do this.
00:11:21Okay?
00:11:21There must be limit-
00:11:24Call me the truth, Aaron.
00:11:26Do you really want me to stop?
00:11:28Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:11:34Do you really want me to stop?
00:11:36Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:11:53Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:11:58Okay, so Eusterman was so crazy.

00:17:28Worthless trash! Just like your deadbeat dad!
00:17:34My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:17:39Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
00:17:43You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion!
00:17:50Take me.
00:17:52Your treatment has just begun.
00:18:05So, Aaron, I need a progress report on the Lorenz Guardianship project.
00:18:10Of course, Warden Graves. The evaluation is proceeding as planned and Dr. Lorenz has been very... cooperative.
00:18:19Hmm.
00:18:21Do you consider this cooperative?
00:18:26I, um...
00:18:43Do not cry, emotional report. Report your current physiological and psychological state now.
00:18:50My heart is...
00:18:52My heart is...
00:18:53It's beating really fast and I cannot...
00:18:56It's really cold.
00:18:59I want my mom and I just wanna die!
00:19:02Not specific enough. I want data.
00:19:04Don't let your fear overcome you, Aaron. Fight it. You're strong. Report again.
00:19:10Heart rate is elevated to 144 beats per minute. Respiration is shallow. Temperature is elevated. Psychologically experiencing childhood trauma flashbacks.
00:19:22Accompanied by intense feelings of abandonment and suicidal ideation.
00:19:32The fear is triggered by dual stimulus of claustrophobia and verbal abuse.
00:19:40Congratulations. You didn't drown in your fear. You observed it.
00:19:55Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.
00:20:11Take me.
00:20:18Tonight the Seville family is throwing a private art exhibition.
00:20:23Seville?
00:20:24As in the owner of the hospital, what would I possibly do there?
00:20:29Step into the spotlight and show them that you're not a mere intern they can humiliate and overpower.
00:20:36Or, simply stay here and let those hyenas tear you to pieces. Your choice.
00:21:20Ignore them.
00:21:24Think of them like specimens in a frame. You are the only living thing in this room.
00:21:37Victor, I never thought you'd willingly leave your little cage.
00:21:41Occasionally one must check up on one's past acquisitions to ensure they're being well maintained.
00:21:47Oh, and this is your latest project? Seems like a decent pick.
00:21:56I, um, I don't know anything about this. This is, um...
00:22:00Look, Aaron, I don't care what some garbage tabloid prints about your personal relations.
00:22:05I do care about this hospital's professional image and ethical standards. Don't you?
00:22:13You're a smart girl, but I think you're forgetting something.
00:22:16The board assigned you to be his guardian, not for you to be controlled by him.
00:22:21Sir, I am not...
00:22:23I don't care what kind of game you and Victor are playing.
00:22:25You need to remember who you are.
00:22:28Keep your professional distance from him.
00:22:31I would hate to see your career end because of a filthy scandal like this.
00:22:37Now get out!
00:22:44Dr. White, your car is here.
00:22:50Isn't that Victor Lorenz?
00:22:52He actually came to pick her up!
00:22:54Guardian?
00:22:55Yeah, right.
00:22:56More like his sugar baby.
00:22:57I don't understand what she's doing with that madman anyway.
00:23:00They each get what they want.
00:23:02You know he was rumored to be a candidate for warden?
00:23:05And he has money.
00:23:09Are you insane?
00:23:12I don't know what you mean.
00:23:13What are you doing here? I'm sure you saw the news.
00:23:16Of course.
00:23:17A mediocre bit of drivel written to excite a group of idiots.
00:23:21But this is my job.
00:23:23My reputation.
00:23:24Everybody at this hospital already thinks I'm some shameless whore.
00:23:28Your reputation?
00:23:30You mean that hollow shell that had you wearing those high collars and apologizing for breathing?
00:23:35Aaron, that shell has been shattered.
00:23:42This is for you.
00:23:48Oh God, I'm so sorry.
00:23:51Such a beautiful dress.
00:23:53And now look.
00:23:54It's completely ruined.
00:23:56Trust me.
00:23:58This wine is still cleaner than your new daddy's hands.
00:24:01And where they've been.
00:24:15Miss Seville, psychologically, an overly aggressive posture usually stems from a deep-seated fear of one's own unstable position.
00:24:25Are you afraid that I'm going to replace you?
00:24:30Victor!
00:24:31Miss White, lovely to see you.
00:24:37It's been a long time, Victor.
00:24:40After your unfortunate little incident, I really didn't expect to see you out socially again.
00:24:47An artist often finds inspiration for his masterpiece in his failed projects.
00:24:56Miss White, I do apologize on behalf of my daughter.
00:25:01She will, of course, cover the cost of the cleaning.
00:25:05Now listen, we at the Institute have been watching your little guardianship project with great interest.
00:25:12I want you to know, if you come up against any problems, please come to me directly.
00:25:19Now if you'll excuse us, enjoy your evening.
00:25:25I am this perfect masterpiece.
00:25:34I'm going to get us a drink.
00:25:40My name is Erin White.
00:25:42I'm Dr. Lorenzo's guardian.
00:25:44I must say, Victor hasn't changed a bit.
00:25:47Always had a thing for broken souls.
00:25:50But I'm curious.
00:25:51Is your therapy all above board?
00:25:53I mean, you live together, right?
00:25:55So where's the line?
00:25:57Is he allowed to touch you if he wants?
00:26:01My methods are all within the accepted norms.
00:26:04Biofeedback, psychological suggestion.
00:26:07Darling, drop the guardian act.
00:26:10You're just his new toy.
00:26:17This is a beautiful dress.
00:26:19But it's not you.
00:26:23Let me guess.
00:26:25Victor picked it out.
00:26:27He did.
00:26:29But you know what?
00:26:30I very much like it.
00:26:33Achoo!
00:26:35Oh God, I am so sorry.
00:26:38Such a beautiful dress.
00:26:42This physical is over.
00:26:44In today's emotional report, I expect to see the truth.
00:27:01I've realized I might just be an experiment.
00:27:06A clumsy imitation meant to replace Isabella.
00:27:12I want to break my soul, too.
00:27:19Because I would die to give what I take.
00:27:28Illusions still on my skin.
00:27:32I want to be falling.
00:27:51I want to be falling.
00:27:55Like you.
00:27:57Get out!
00:28:02Who am I?
00:28:21You are nothing but a cheap, disposable coffee.
00:28:24Just wait.
00:28:25He'll get bored of you soon, and then he'll destroy you himself.
00:28:49Lie down.
00:28:50Routine physical.
00:29:08Well, temperature 98.6.
00:29:12Heart rate 78.
00:29:14Huh.
00:29:16I'm seeing a murmur, Dr. Lorenz.
00:29:20And irregularity?
00:29:23I feel perfectly fine, Ms. White.
00:29:26Good.
00:29:27Then we'll just have to continue the assessment.
00:29:31What are you trying to prove, Erin?
00:29:33That what Isabella said is true?
00:29:35I'm not.
00:29:37That she's more beautiful than you?
00:29:39That her family is richer than your stepfather?
00:29:42That I would prefer her over you?
00:29:45Do you?
00:29:47Report your current state of feeling, Dr. Lorenz.
00:29:51Stop.
00:29:53And you are such a hypocrite.
00:29:55I saw the way that she looks at you.
00:29:57Just waiting for your next command.
00:30:00Is that what gets you off?
00:30:02Hmm?
00:30:03Do you prefer Isabella?
00:30:07Is this for her?
00:30:16No.
00:30:18If I'm going to be his work of art, then I am going to be his one and only masterpiece.
00:30:51Here's my report.
00:30:54And I'll admit it.
00:30:55I was jealous of Isabella.
00:30:57I wanted to be a masterpiece like her.
00:31:00But the thing that I'm afraid of most is that I'm not even qualified to replace her.
00:31:06You're wrong.
00:31:13Isabella was a failed draft from early in my career.
00:31:18A ruined canvas.
00:31:22But you, Erin.
00:31:26You are the one of a kind, perfect masterpiece that I have spent my life searching for.
00:31:32A masterpiece?
00:31:33This is not meant to mark my property.
00:31:37This is a crown that I am bestowing upon you.
00:31:44From this day forward, you are my singular work of art.
00:31:59I have a better idea.
00:32:30You are the one of a kind.
00:32:30You are a perfect person.
00:32:30To this day, I am going to be my quirky old male and skinny.
00:32:30I don't know.
00:33:09Aaron, look at me.
00:33:12Victor, am I really your only masterpiece?
00:33:22I never know, Aaron.
00:33:26Sometimes I feel that the truth has been presented in a more artistic way.
00:33:59Say my name.
00:34:01Losing your new identity.
00:34:03Say my name.
00:34:08Victor.
00:34:10My artist.
00:34:14Take me.
00:34:47Miss White, these pictures are all over the internet.
00:34:51You have made Black Mountain Asylum a laughing stock.
00:34:54What do you have to say for yourself?
00:34:56I...
00:34:59I have nothing to say.
00:35:02Very well.
00:35:05Given the fact that your grossly inappropriate relationship with your patient
00:35:10has caused irreparable damage to this institution's reputation,
00:35:14this committee has voted unanimously to suspend your internship
00:35:18and to terminate all treatment of Mr. Victor Lorenz.
00:35:27Effective immediately.
00:35:29I'm about to lose everything that I have ever worked for.
00:35:33How could I have done this?
00:35:36Say my name.
00:35:38Oh God, what was I thinking?
00:35:39More importantly, if I had a chance to go back, would I do it again?
00:35:44Of course, there is a way out.
00:35:48We're willing to give you another chance.
00:35:53This is a sworn statement that Victor Lorenz acted against your will,
00:35:58using his status and professional expertise to psychologically manipulate you
00:36:03into a coerced, non-consensual contact.
00:36:07All this required is your signature.
00:36:23You want me to lie?
00:36:25It's not a lie.
00:36:27You're a victim.
00:36:28Sign this and not only will we restore your position,
00:36:31but we will use all of our legal resources
00:36:34to get you the justice you so sorely deserve.
00:36:38And to put that monster away where he belongs.
00:36:51I refuse.
00:36:52What did you say?
00:36:53I take full responsibility and ownership over my actions.
00:36:57And this has nothing to do with him.
00:36:59Who do you think you're protecting?
00:37:01You're only destroying yourself.
00:37:03Without this hospital, you're not even an intern.
00:37:07You're nothing.
00:37:08What I am has nothing to do with you.
00:37:14Fine. Get out.
00:37:15And I promise you, you'll pay a painful price for your stupidity today.
00:37:32Karen!
00:37:34What do you want?
00:37:35A little field trip.
00:37:36Do you actually believe you're protecting your precious artist?
00:37:40I don't know what you're talking about.
00:37:42Do you want to know how many copies there are
00:37:44of that one-of-a-kind crown you're so proud of?
00:37:46Victor loves collecting broken souls.
00:37:49But did you know what he really wants?
00:37:51Is to exhibit them?
00:37:54Get in, you pathetic little stray.
00:37:57I put your collar on.
00:38:06What the hell is going to do with you?
00:38:13Why are you there?
00:38:26Who are you?
00:38:28I know you're all your things.
00:38:29What the hell is going to do with you?
00:38:32What the hell is going to do with you?
00:38:32Little dirt, you're so cursed
00:38:33I don't know what the hell is going to be at.
00:38:34Too much.
00:38:34Please listen to me when you shoot me.
00:38:36I don't know if you're just talking to me.
00:38:59This is Victor's private playground.
00:39:04Everyone here is rich, powerful, and they love Victor's art.
00:39:14No.
00:39:15No, that can't be.
00:39:17See her?
00:39:19Three years ago she tried to kill herself after her boss assaulted her.
00:39:23Victor saved her.
00:39:24Now she's that real estate tycoon's favorite little kitten.
00:39:28Victor has a talent for finding broken little dolls like you, piecing them back together just the way he likes.
00:39:36And then putting them on display here for the entertainment of others.
00:39:42You're next.
00:39:45No.
00:39:46No.
00:39:47He said that I was his only masterpiece.
00:39:49Masterpiece?
00:39:51Oh, darling.
00:39:53He said the same thing to me.
00:39:55To every other person here.
00:40:00He makes you feel special so that you willingly give him everything.
00:40:05You're lying.
00:40:07Am I?
00:40:12Here's the ticket to the final stage of your treatment.
00:40:16Every few months, Victor hosts an auction.
00:40:20The highest bidder gets to acquire the artwork for a while.
00:40:24And you, you look just about perfectly polished.
00:40:28I imagine at the next acquisition night, you'll be the main exhibit.
00:41:03Is this the final stage of my treatment?
00:41:06You polish me and then train me exactly how you want?
00:41:10And then sell me off to those perverts at your club?
00:41:13Isabella told you this?
00:41:15So you admitted it's true.
00:41:19So you think that low of me?
00:41:21You think I'm some monster and they were right to lock me away?
00:41:26Then kill me.
00:41:29Come on.
00:41:32Finish it.
00:41:33Do it.
00:41:36Do it.
00:41:39This is over.
00:41:40I'm done with this shit.
00:41:43No.
00:41:45And guess what, Victor?
00:41:46Your masterpiece is defective.
00:41:50Oh no, she has a mind of her own.
00:41:55And she is going to end this disgusting treatment.
00:42:02The polishing is not yet complete.
00:42:14What do you want?
00:42:15Aaron.
00:42:16Honey.
00:42:17You gotta help me.
00:42:18Please.
00:42:19Okay, well I don't have any money.
00:42:21Because I was fired.
00:42:22I'm in deep shit with some loan sharks.
00:42:24They're gonna kill me.
00:42:26Well that sounds like a you problem.
00:42:27No, no, no, no.
00:42:28Look.
00:42:29I know I've screwed up.
00:42:31And I'm sorry.
00:42:32But before I skip town, I need to give you what's left of your mom's things.
00:42:37I have them right here.
00:42:39They're gonna come take everything unless you come get this stuff now.
00:42:44Where are you?
00:42:44The old storage facility, west side.
00:42:47I'll text you the address.
00:42:49Aaron, I'm begging you.
00:42:51This will be the last time I see you.
00:43:10You came.
00:43:11You actually came.
00:43:13Rick, where is my mom's things?
00:43:15Yeah.
00:43:16Over here.
00:43:17Like, uh.
00:43:25Not bad at all.
00:43:28I'll see.
00:43:29I brought her just like I said I would.
00:43:31Now, about my debt.
00:43:33Get the hell out of my way.
00:43:35Rick Miller, you son of a bitch!
00:43:39Scream all you want sweetheart.
00:43:42Tonight you belong to me.
00:43:48You might as well stop fighting.
00:43:50Stick with me.
00:43:51You'll be set for life.
00:44:03Still got some fight left in you, huh?
00:44:05Guess you need to be taught a lesson.
00:44:07Don't touch me.
00:44:12Look at this.
00:44:14Kinky.
00:44:15I like it.
00:44:25Who the fuck is this pretty boy?
00:44:42Oh, you want to play hero big guy?
00:44:46Okay.
00:44:48Seems like you got a death wish.
00:44:57What are you do?
00:44:58Ah!
00:45:00Ah!
00:45:00My hand!
00:45:01Ah!
00:45:05You!
00:45:06You stay away from us!
00:45:08All right, we're with, we're with!
00:45:09Get up!
00:45:10Fucking kill him!
00:45:23No, my man.
00:45:30You gotta understand it.
00:45:31It was them.
00:45:32They made me do it.
00:45:34Sir, please.
00:45:35I'm scum.
00:45:36I know.
00:45:37I'm the scum of the fucking earth.
00:45:39But it won't happen again.
00:45:41I swear.
00:45:41Please!
00:45:42For Aaron's sake!
00:45:47It won't happen again.
00:45:48I swear.
00:45:49Please!
00:45:50For Aaron's sake!
00:45:51Please.
00:45:52I'm her father.
00:45:53You can't.
00:45:54I'm her goddamn father!
00:45:56Oh!
00:45:57Oh!
00:45:59Oh!
00:46:02Oh!
00:46:03Oh!
00:46:04Victor, don't...
00:46:06He touched you.
00:46:10Which hand did you use to touch her?
00:46:13No, I...
00:46:13I didn't touch her.
00:46:15No!
00:46:17I knew You were never.
00:46:19No!
00:46:20Ah!
00:46:26Hey!
00:46:39Hey Newise!
00:46:43Ha haa!
00:46:45Don't move.
00:46:59This is not my fault.
00:47:01I shouldn't have went after him.
00:47:08Why aren't you saying anything?
00:47:10Isabella was lying, why didn't you just say that?
00:47:21A one-of-a-kind work of art began to doubt its own value because of the words of some
00:47:26worthless person.
00:47:28Do you think that requires an explanation? No.
00:47:32That is a flaw that requires correction.
00:47:47I have no idea.
00:48:01Maybe I'm a full detective, but I have no money.
00:48:02Do you think that's a flaw that has gone through?
00:48:05I have no idea.
00:48:06Would you agree?
00:48:06I was an actual engineer.
00:48:06Why don't you pay for it?
00:48:11I was an engineer.
00:48:12I thought I was an engineer.
00:48:12I'm an engineer.
00:48:14I thought I was an engineer.
00:48:14I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:48:19I'm going to erase every last trace of it.
00:48:43I'm going to remember this feeling.
00:48:46Your body is made for pleasure, not for fear.
00:49:10Feeling better?
00:49:12Mm-hmm.
00:49:14Good.
00:49:17That your treatment is not over yet.
00:49:50Hello?
00:49:52Is this Miss Erin White?
00:49:54This is Sam Seville.
00:49:58Mr. Seville, hi!
00:49:59Old young lady, don't be nervous.
00:50:03I just wanted to call to apologize for the injustice you recently suffered.
00:50:08Um, thank you so much for your concern.
00:50:11Listen, I know what men like Logan and Graves are.
00:50:15It was our failure to leave you under that kind of pressure.
00:50:20I was just doing my job.
00:50:21I know.
00:50:22I'd like to meet with you privately.
00:50:25Perhaps I can help you out of this little predicament, Yuri.
00:50:38Oh, you poor dear.
00:50:40You look absolutely pale with fear.
00:50:51Mr. Seville, thank you for seeing me in Victor and I.
00:50:55The evidence in the tabloids is more than substantial.
00:50:58You had an inappropriate relationship with a patient under your care.
00:51:04Those photos, that thing around your neck.
00:51:09The evidence in their eyes is irrefutable.
00:51:16That is not.
00:51:17It was all part of the treatment.
00:51:19I believe you.
00:51:20You're not some shameless hussy off the street.
00:51:24You're not some of the evidence.
00:51:25Seeing you in this situation, it reminds me of Victor.
00:51:31He was my protege.
00:51:33And before his little incident, he was my handpicked successor to run the Institute.
00:51:39Just as the board was about to approve his appointment, malpractice scandal exploded out
00:51:47of nowhere.
00:51:48Are you saying that Victor was framed?
00:51:51That question has haunted me for years.
00:51:55Now mind you, I have no proof, but Victor might.
00:51:59Victor had a secret research lab.
00:52:02I'm thinking, if there is a key to his innocence, it's hidden there.
00:52:16Aaron, Victor only trusts the people he chooses.
00:52:21And right now, that means you.
00:52:26You alone.
00:52:59I don't know.
00:53:09I don't know.
00:54:03You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:54:08Phase 2. Dependency transference.
00:54:13Find the identity of savior to the self, becoming the subject's sole spiritual anchor.
00:54:18Phase 3. Imprinting.
00:54:22Bestow a symbolic object such as a collar.
00:54:25At this point, the subject will fully internalize her new identity as the artist's masterpiece.
00:54:58I'm a masterpiece.
00:55:00I have no soul. The artist gives me meaning. I can't live without the artist. I am a masterpiece.
00:55:33Well, well, well. Miss White.
00:55:42Breaking into a secure research lab in the middle of the night? No longer just breach of ethics. This is
00:55:49breaking the wall.
00:55:51It's her. She's crazy. She and that lunatic victor. They pushed me down the stairs. They broke my leg.
00:56:10So that's what I do. I'm a liar. I'm a piece of shit. I'm a hypocrite.
00:56:22See this? Typical psychotic episode. I'm afraid she's completely lost it.
00:56:31Miss White, given that your next of kin has accused you of violent behavior, and that you're clearly in a
00:56:39state of extreme mental instability,
00:56:45I'm signing an emergency order for your compulsory admission.
00:56:49You. And you are going to remember your faces.
00:56:59Gentlemen, take her away.
00:57:23Nurse.
00:57:25Nurse.
00:57:27There's been a mistake. I am not a patient here. My name is Erin White. I'm an intern.
00:57:32Half the people in here say they're someone else. Napoleon, Cleopatra. You're the first one to claim to be a
00:57:38doctor.
00:57:38No, no, no. I'm not lying, okay?
00:57:42Graves. Warden Graves. He framed me, okay? Just give me one phone call.
00:57:47Mr. Seville, he will tell you who I am.
00:57:49Mr. Seville, again. The last patient who thought she was his fiancée is still singing opera in the room next
00:57:54door.
00:57:55Now open up. Time for your meds.
00:57:57No, no, no. I can't take those, okay? They will ruin my mind. No, I am not sick!
00:58:01Whether you're sick or not isn't up to you here.
00:58:05Hold her down.
00:58:08Hold her down.
00:58:11No. No. No. No.
00:58:14No. No.
00:58:21No. No.
00:58:26No. No.
00:58:29No. No.
00:58:30No. No.
00:58:31No. No. No.
00:58:32No. No. No.
00:58:45Isabella.
00:58:46Victor.
00:58:49I was starting to think you'd do something foolish on account of your little pet.
00:58:56Where is Erin?
00:58:57Oh, don't worry.
00:58:58She's in a very safe place, receiving the most professional care.
00:59:03No disturbances, no visitors.
00:59:05Just like you were all those years ago.
00:59:08Let her go.
00:59:10I will.
00:59:11On one condition.
00:59:15Come back to me.
00:59:17Let me be yours again tonight.
00:59:22You think you've won.
00:59:24Isabella, the biggest mistake you and your father ever made was taking it out on Erin.
00:59:31I made a mistake?
00:59:33How am I inferior to her?
00:59:36That replacement you scraped out of the garbage!
00:59:38With you, it's always just...
00:59:40work.
00:59:41Every touch, every training session was just part of the job.
00:59:46But with Erin, I lose control of my heart.
00:59:49You're lying!
00:59:55If your heart won't belong to me, then I'll just keep your body.
01:00:00Forever and ever.
01:00:20Now, Erin, I'm giving you one last chance.
01:00:23Admit that you conspired with Victor to assault your stepfather and I can make this easier on you.
01:00:34No, you wouldn't do that.
01:00:36No, you wouldn't do that.
01:00:37It's touching.
01:00:37You're still attempting to protect Mr. Lawrence, but he can't hear you.
01:00:42He's too busy being entertained by Miss Sabelle.
01:00:46What did you just say?
01:00:48Oh, come now, Erin.
01:00:49You can't believe you're anything more than a piece in their game.
01:00:54Now the game's over.
01:00:58Sign this, and at least you can live out your days as a human being in a hospital ward.
01:01:07Erin, you're so stupid.
01:01:11Commence the treatment.
01:01:20A smart predator disguises himself as prey.
01:01:24That's right.
01:01:25I have to survive.
01:01:27I have to survive.
01:01:28I have to wait for him to save this.
01:01:30I have to personally send it all over to hell.
01:01:36Chuck his guts out my face!
01:01:44Chuck his guts out my face!
01:01:45Very, very good.
01:01:47And that's it, right?
01:01:49There we go.
01:02:02Work your mouth.
01:02:05Gum.
01:02:07Go.
01:02:08Two.
01:02:19Open your mouth.
01:02:21Go.
01:02:57I don't need treatment.
01:02:59I'm not sick!
01:03:00Everyone line up.
01:03:02Back to your rooms.
01:03:05The artist gives me meaning.
01:03:25Don't touch me!
01:03:27I wasn't.
01:03:28I was just admiring your masterpiece.
01:03:35Did Victor give that to you?
01:03:37No, he gave me one too and he said that I was his one and only.
01:03:40No.
01:03:41I don't...
01:03:42I don't know.
01:03:43And then I found out that I was part of just some experiment called Project Familia.
01:03:49734-217.
01:03:50What are you doing?
01:03:50Get in line!
01:03:56I don't know...
01:03:57I don't know.
01:03:58I don't know
01:03:58but it's a little thing.
01:03:58I don't know.
01:03:58I don't know.
01:03:58So I'm in.
01:04:16I don't know.
01:04:19Melissa, what are you doing?
01:04:24Pygmalion is a lie.
01:04:27You have to help me.
01:04:30It's okay, just tell me what's going on.
01:04:35They're mine. They'll hear them.
01:04:37I will thank you.
01:04:40Look at me.
01:04:42You are not alone.
01:04:45Victor has gone.
01:04:48He didn't hurt me.
01:04:50He was saving me.
01:04:53Before, I wanted to die.
01:04:58It was Mrs. Ville.
01:05:01She found me.
01:05:03She said if I didn't sign the papers,
01:05:05if I didn't testify that I was a victim of Victor,
01:05:09they would kill my parents.
01:05:12I signed the papers.
01:05:15Isabella.
01:05:17Of course it was her.
01:05:18Well, you said they. Who is they?
01:05:21Was it Graves? Did Graves make you sign?
01:05:23No.
01:05:26So much scarier than Isabella calls it.
01:05:32Daddy.
01:05:35Is this the final stage of my treatment?
01:05:38Are you saying that Victor was right?
01:05:41That question has haunted me for years.
01:05:43But your treatment is not over yet.
01:05:46Yeah.
01:05:48So that's it.
01:05:50Victor, you bastard.
01:05:52You weren't lying to me.
01:05:53You really weren't lying.
01:05:59You bastard.
01:06:02You weren't lying to me.
01:06:08You really weren't lying.
01:06:22Victor, you genius.
01:06:24These girls will need more of your special treatment.
01:06:28If you can fix them, the future of the Institute is yours.
01:06:53It's yours.
01:06:54Water.
01:06:55The genius doctor reduced to begging me for water?
01:06:59You should have learned a long time ago, Victor.
01:07:02The price of defying me is becoming my dog.
01:07:06Isabella.
01:07:07This war.
01:07:08I'm tired.
01:07:10I surrender.
01:07:14If I do it after I miss you,ups.
01:07:24I'll take youriten as soon as Iери이자.
01:07:24I feel very much, which is why it is.
01:07:34Spend your records.
01:07:37Thor-seen, and how?
01:07:39Massive long term doses.
01:07:41they've just been destroying your brain.
01:07:45That's it.
01:07:47Special assets, that's what they called us.
01:07:56Access denied.
01:08:01Access denied.
01:08:08Pygmalion?
01:08:09Access approved.

01:13:02out get pr bury that story i don't want to hear a word of it before the hearing yes sir
01:13:14your little games are over victor
01:13:37sir the online story is
01:13:46miss aaron white this committee will now conduct a public hearing regarding your alleged gross
01:13:54violation of medical ethics i ask you now during your time as victor lorenz's guardian did you engage
01:14:01in a illicit inappropriate relationship that went beyond your doctor patient boundary
01:14:07i admit it dr victor lorenz and i are lovers
01:14:27so you admit it a gross violation of professional ethics i am not here to defend my love
01:14:35i am here to tell you how a former version of myself was saved
01:14:43this was my childhood
01:14:46my nightmare and i used to believe that i would live in an endless cycle of self-hate
01:14:52and destruction
01:14:55till i met victor
01:14:58he saved me
01:14:59and he gave me the courage to face who i really am
01:15:03and if it's a crime to love somebody who pulled you out of your own ashes
01:15:07then it is a charge that i happily accept
01:15:12i am here to repent
01:15:45What about Victor?
01:15:47Did he or did he not use psychological manipulation against you?
01:15:51Ward and Graves, the core of your accusations stems from a forged file called Project Pamelion.
01:15:57And I would like to call the key witness in this case, Lilith Hines.
01:16:07Testimony of a long-term, severely mentally ill patient has no credibility.
01:16:20I, Lilith Hines, was a patient at Black Mountain.
01:16:24But I am not sick.
01:16:26Years ago, Isabella Saville threatened my family's lives and forced me to sign a false statement
01:16:30accusing Dr. Lorenz of improper treatment.
01:16:33When I signed, they had me forcibly committed and drugged me for years to turn me into a real psycho.
01:16:40You're lying, you lunatic.
01:16:45Isabella, I understand your pain.
01:16:49Subject exhibits extreme possessiveness, seeking attention by creating chaos.
01:16:54Does that sound familiar?
01:16:57You, how could you know?
01:16:59Using self-harm to gain sympathy and viewing others' rescue as her only proof of love.
01:17:04And her preference for symbolic objects of control, such as collars,
01:17:10stems not from desire, but a deep-seated desperation for a sense of belonging.
01:17:16Stop it.
01:17:17Stop talking.
01:17:18You forged those documents, framed Victor, locked Lilith away,
01:17:22and you tried to do the exact same thing to me.
01:17:24And all along, the one masterpiece he was so afraid of being left behind was you.
01:17:30Shut up!
01:17:31He promised he would fix me, but then he tried to leave me.
01:17:35I had to ruin him so he could never leave me.
01:17:37I am his masterpiece.
01:17:38Me!
01:17:39Members of the committee, please forgive my daughter's outbursts.
01:17:44Her mental state has always been unstable.
01:17:47The ramblings of an overstressed mind.
01:17:52But my daughter's mistakes cannot excuse a much more serious crime.
01:17:59Yes, to that point.
01:18:01We just received a report an hour ago that the key witness, Rick Miller, was murdered in a motel.
01:18:08The implication is obvious.
01:18:10He was killed, to prevent him from testifying here.
01:18:13Killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:18:18He was killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:18:28Victor, you...
01:18:30You killed Rick?
01:18:31You, Aaron White, as an accomplice to a murderer, everything you've said here is considered a lie.
01:18:39I demand this committee, take her into custody immediately.
01:18:49I object.
01:19:06He's just a patient, Aaron.
01:19:08Complete this evaluation, and that permanent position is yours.
01:19:15Storm's a beast tonight.
01:19:17Typical intern.
01:19:18Didn't you think to bring an umbrella?
01:19:19It was unexpected.
01:19:23You know, you really don't have to struggle like this, Aaron.
01:19:27There are, uh, easier paths to that position.
01:19:32Who is Mr. Lorenz?
01:19:34Dr. Lorenz, and you just got a sedative.
01:19:36You got maybe ten safe minutes before it wears off.
01:19:53Air conditioning's freezing in there.
01:19:58Locker room is next door if you want to strip off that wet coat.
01:20:05Director, if your wife saw that hallway footage, I'm sure she would find your mentorship style quite enlightening.
01:20:12Who?
01:20:14Are you threatening me?
01:20:16I'm just stating a fact.
01:20:18Now, please, get out of my way so I can do my job.
01:20:22Enjoy it while you can, because your evaluation report will never be approved.
01:20:27Trust me.
01:20:28You're finished here.
01:20:41Smart girl.
01:20:51I'm a doctoral candidate.
01:20:53I meant no offense.
01:20:55Now, there are towels on the wall.
01:20:57Dry yourself off.
01:20:58I have no desire to speak with a drowned rat.
01:21:25Thanks, Dr. Lorenz.
01:21:27Victor, I'm Erin White.
01:21:31Let's begin your evaluation.
01:21:3655% cashmere blend.
01:21:38That towel, very soft.
01:21:40Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
01:21:47Clean edge with a little tear at the end.
01:21:50You do it yourself.
