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.
00:01:00Director, 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.
00:01:47I 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.
00:01:56And Book.
00:02:19Thank you, Dr. Lorenz.
00:02:21Victor, I'm Erin White. Let's begin your evaluation.
00:02:3055% cashmere blend. That towel, very soft. Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
00:02:41Clean edge with a little tear at the end. You do it yourself.
00:03:03Peroxide and Vaseline. Very practical. The rose oil would help the scarring fade faster.
00:03:09But you should know, Miss White, scars are not marks of shame. They're a warrior's medals.
00:03:16I am here to evaluate your mental state, Dr. Lorenz. Please just answer the questions.
00:03:21Of course, that's the job. By all means, ask away.
00:03:26How do you typically respond, physically or emotionally, when you start to feel...
00:03:34...inappropriate thoughts about a patient?
00:03:36Hmm. Thinking about those impulses makes me warm.
00:03:41You know, this collar is far too tight. It's pressing against my carotid artery.
00:03:46...makes it difficult to think clearly.
00:03:48Do you mind?
00:04:05Your heart's racing. Mine 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, but if you're here to take responsibility for me, I
00:04:23suggest you start acting like it.
00:04:27You can start by treating me like a person, not a wild animal.
00:04:41Are you like this on all your first dates?
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 over that
00:04:59black lace broad.
00:05:00Enough!
00:05:02Underneath, you're so afraid, terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:05:08You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:05:11You stop projecting your vulgar fantasies onto me!
00:05:15Come here, Aaron. Sit on my lap.
00:05:17You've been eyeing this chair since the moment you walk through that door.
00:05:20The mere thought alone gets you going a million times faster than the passenger seats of those little boys' cars,
00:05:27doesn't it?
00:05:29Come on.
00:05:33Sit on my lap.
00:05:38To answer your original question, a smart predator disguises himself as prey.
00:05:45Welcome to my hunting ground, Miss White.
00:05:59Aaron!
00:06:00You ungrateful little tramp!
00:06:03I raise you, and this is all the thanks I get?
00:06:05What the hell am I supposed to do with this?
00:06:07This is my workplace. Can we just talk about this at home, okay?
00:06:10Home? The loam 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...
00:06:17Spending them on some guy?
00:06:19You shameless little slut.
00:06:20No, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't, okay? Just please. Let's just talk about...
00:06:25You're so afraid and terrified that they'll see the pathetic truth of your life.
00:06:31First of all, you didn't raise me.
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. It was a rookie mistake.
00:07:23Oh, no. No, it's more than that.
00:07:26Arring out your dirty family laundry for the entire hospital to see?
00:07:30Deeply unprofessional, Erin.
00:07:31Now, how can an intern who can't even handle her own life possibly be fit to manage our highest-risk
00:07:37patient?
00:07:40However, Mr. Seville, who owns this institution, happens to have a soft spot for ambitious talent.
00:07:50If you were to deliver a truly perfect final report on Victor, I could put in a good word for
00:07:56you.
00:07:57You 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'll 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?
00:08:28Warden Graves.
00:08:29I think I have a solution.
00:08:35Proposal for a one-year, one-on-one guardianship-based therapy for Victor K. Lorenz?
00:08:43What's this?
00:08:44Move him from this facility to a private, secure residence.
00:08:48I will be his sole 24-7 guardian responsible for his psychological treatment and behavioral monitoring.
00:08:53And I will sign a waiver of unlimited liability.
00:08:56Everything he does outside of this hospital will be my sole responsibility.
00:09:02She's insane.
00:09:04This is absurd.
00:09:05Wait!
00:09:06This proposal?
00:09:07It would drastically cut security costs.
00:09:09True.
00:09:10We could spin it to the media as the new humane therapy model.
00:09:15Honestly, it's perfect PR.
00:09:17Most importantly, if anything goes wrong, she takes the fall.
00:09:21The hospital, the board, we'd be completely insulated.
00:09:26Fine.
00:09:27Passed.
00:09:28You want the responsibility, Ms. White?
00:09:30It's yours.
00:09:32For better
00:09:35Or for worse.
00:09:39Why is he even wearing his mask?
00:09:41Isn't he just a psychiatric patient?
00:09:43They say his mouth is his most dangerous weapon.
00:09:45He drives his dick mad long before he ever lays his hands on him.
00:09:48He destroys them with his words.
00:10:12My job here is done.
00:10:14Good luck.
00:10:40Dr. Lorenz?
00:10:49If the patient is unresponsive, the guardian must assess for environmental risk.
00:11:22What have I gotten myself into?
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.
00:12:11Why 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 admiring the engraving, are we?
00:12:24Cold metal on the neck.
00:12:27More of a thrill than you expect it.
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.
00:12:48You're mine.
00:12:49Because I'm creating you.
00:12:52Now then, time for my checkup. Feels like my temperature's spiking. You should check.
00:13:05Come on now, you're the guardian. Go ahead, take my temperature.
00:13:21I won't bite. Or is there something else that scares you?
00:13:27Rest in your way. Well, I will need skin contact for that, Dr. Loretz. If that's okay.
00:13:4398 beats per minute. Experience.
00:13:47You're using physical contact to blur the line. That is textbook manipulation.
00:13:56What is this, then?
00:14:00What is this, the utter blessing collapse of guardian patient gallery?
00:14:07No, no, no. I cannot do this. Okay? There must be limit...
00:14:12Call me the truth, Aaron. Do you really want me to stop? Or are you yearning for my touch right
00:14:18now?
00:14:22Do you really want me to stop? Or are you yearning for my touch right now?
00:14:27I still don't know.
00:14:30I just don't know.
00:14:32I don't know.
00:14:35I don't know.
00:14:39I don't know.
00:14:45Okay, so you're still wet. It was so crazy. And that's her? The one who got Lowa fired?
00:14:51I heard she played dirty.
00:14:53Shady sluts.
00:14:55Don't say that.
00:14:56She's Victor Lorenz's guardian now.
00:14:59Who dare mess with her.
00:15:05I need to get through this project with Victor to secure that permanent position.
00:15:09And it is what I've always dreamed of.
00:15:12And I can't let him lure me into his dangerous games.
00:15:24It was you, wasn't it?
00:15:26You and that psycho.
00:15:28I don't know what you're talking about.
00:15:30Get off me.
00:15:31Don't pretend you don't know.
00:15:33I was fired.
00:15:34Terminated all because of some anonymous bullshit embezzlement file.
00:15:38And don't try to tell me that that's a coincidence.
00:15:40I don't know anything about that.
00:15:43Don't know?
00:15:43You 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?
00:16:06A whip, did he?
00:16:09Oh, did he use a collar, huh?
00:16:10A whip, did he?
00:16:13Yeah!
00:16:14Oh!
00:16:16Oh!
00:16:17Oh!
00:16:17Oh!
00:16:18Well, 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, that monster!
00:16:40I'm best on my files.
00:16:41Victor, what are you doing behind my back?
00:16:48I expected you sooner.
00:16:51I 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.
00:17:15Why would you use my name?
00:17:22When 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.
00:17:47A smart predator learns to disguise himself as prey.
00:18:06It's time for your treatment to begin.
00:18:25Take off your clothes.
00:18:38You.
00:18:43They don't feel alive.
00:18:47You're dead, right?
00:18:49I don't have anything to die.
00:18:49No.
00:18:50Start from here.
00:18:50Just finish?
00:18:54I don't need to stop.
00:18:56I'm not seeing it.
00:18:57No.
00:18:59You're dead.
00:18:59Yeah.
00:19:00I don't need to lose, right?
00:19:04Alright.
00:19:41Record the objective state of your body.
00:19:45I don't know what you want.
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! Let me out, Victor! Let me out!
00:20:08Open the door, Victor!
00:20:10Open the door!
00:20:16Worthless trash!
00:20:18Just like your deadbeat dad!
00:20:21My office is always open for a more in-depth discussion.
00:20:27Soft enough to not irritate those fresh scars, I hope.
00:20:31You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion!
00:20:34No!
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 really fast, and I can't.
00:20:58It's really cold.
00:21:02I want my mom, and I just want to die!
00:21:05Not 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
00:21:24accompanied by intense feelings of
00:21:27abandonment and suicidal ideation.
00:21:34The fear is triggered by dual stimulus of claustrophobia and verbal abuse.
00:21:43The fear is triggered by dual stimulus of claustrophobia and verbal abuse.
00:21:44You didn't drown in your fear.
00:21:45You observed it.
00:21:58Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.
00:22:00Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.

00:24:28written to excite a group of idiots
00:24:30but this is my job

00:24:33everybody at this hospital already thinks I'm some
00:24:35shameless whore

00:24:44Aaron
00:24:44that 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
00:25:08show them
00:25:09that you're not a mere intern
00:25:11they can humiliate and overpower
00:25:13or
00:25:14simply stay here
00:25:15and let those hyenas tear you to pieces
00:25:17your choice
00:25:27oh
00:25:29he's
00:25:58Ignore them.
00:26:02Think of them like specimens in a frame.
00:26:06You 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.
00:26:52Is your therapy all above board?
00:26:55I mean, you live together, right?
00:26:57So where's the line?
00:26:58Is he allowed to touch you if he wants?
00:27:02My methods are all within the accepted norms.
00:27:06Biofeedback, psychological suggestion...
00:27:08Darling, drop the guardian act.
00:27:11You'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.
00:27:26Victor picked it out.
00:27:28He did.
00:27:29It's fine.
00:27:30But you know what?
00:27:32I very much like it.
00:27:34Achoo!
00:27:37Oh, God!
00:27:38I am so sorry!
00:27:40Such a beautiful dress!
00:27:43Achoo!
00:27:46Oh, God!
00:27:47I am so sorry!
00:27:49Such a beautiful dress!
00:27:50And now look!
00:27:51It's completely ruined.
00:27:54Trust me.
00:27:55This wine is still cleaner than your new daddy's hands.
00:27:58Amber, they've been.
00:28:00Hmph.
00:28:12Ms. Seville.
00:28:14Psychologically, an overly aggressive posture
00:28:17usually stems from a deep-seated fear of one's own unstable position.
00:28:22Are you afraid that I'm gonna replace you?
00:28:27Victor!
00:28:29Miss White!
00:28:30Lovely to see you.
00:28:35It's been a long time, Victor.
00:28:38After your unfortunate little incident, I really didn't expect to see you out socially
00:28:44again.
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.
00:29:02Now, 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 copy.
00:29:33Just wait.
00:29:34We've been waiting for you.
00:29:35And, man, he'll get bored of you soon.
00:29:36And, man, he'll destroy you himself.
00:29:38help. Lie down. Routine physical.
00:30:17Oh. Temperature 98.6. Heart rate 78. Huh. I'm seeing a murmur, Dr. Lorenz. An irregularity.
00:30:32I feel perfectly fine, Ms. White. Good. Then we'll just have to continue the
00:30:37process. What are you trying to prove, Erin? That what Isabella said is true? I'm not.
00:30:46That she's more beautiful than you. That her family is richer than your stepfather.
00:30:50That I would prefer her over you. Do you report your current state of feeling, Dr. Lorenz?
00:31:00Stop. And you are such a hypocrite. I saw the way that she looks at you.
00:31:06I'm just waiting for your next command. Is that what gets you off?
00:31:11Mm-hmm. Do you prefer Isabella? Is this for her?
00:31:20This physical is over. In today's emotional report, I expect to see the truth.
00:31:39I've realized I might just be an experiment. A clumsy imitation meant to replace Isabella.
00:31:50I want to break my soul to you, cause I would die to give what I take.
00:32:11Abyven beef.
00:32:13I want to break my soul to you, cause I don't like everyone.
00:32:14I don't know.이에요.
00:32:19I want to break my heart.
00:32:20I don't know. Give me a minute.
00:32:22I gave up my gravity.
00:32:24You don't know that I got his heart
00:32:26Go away.
00:32:34Thank oh child.
00:32:34Get out!
00:32:40Who am I?
00:32:41Who am I?
00:33:04No.
00:33:06If I'm going to be his work of art...
00:33:11...then I am going to be his one and only...
00:33:17...masterpiece.
00:33:39Here's my report.
00:33:42And I'll admit it, I was jealous of Isabella.
00:33:45I 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.
00:34:06A ruined canvas.
00:34:09But you, Erin.
00:34:14You are the one-of-a-kind, perfect masterpiece that I have 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...
00:34:27...that I am bestowing upon you.
00:34:31From this day forward, you are my singular work of art.
00:34:46I have a better idea.
00:34:48...
00:35:05I'm such a good idea.
00:35:06I'm sorry.
00:35:07Go on.
00:35:07I'm sorry.
00:35:08I'm sorry.
00:35:10I'm sorry.
00:35:11I'm sorry.
00:35:13I'm sorry.
00:35:15You're not my friend.
00:35:16I'm sorry.
00:35:17You're not my friend.
00:35:17I'm sorry.
00:35:26Oh
00:35:52Look at me
00:35:57Look at me
00:35:59Victor
00:36:01I might really your only masterpiece
00:36:08I never know that
00:36:13Sometimes
00:36:14I find
00:36:16The truth has been presented
00:36:22In a more artistic way
00:36:46Say my name
00:36:48Using your new identity
00:36:50Say my name
00:36:56Victor
00:36:58My artist
00:37:01Take me
00:37:03Take me
00:37:35Miss White
00:37:36These pictures are all over the internet
00:37:38You have made Black Mountain Asylum
00:37:40A laughing stock
00:37:41What do you have to say for yourself?
00:37:43I
00:37:47I have nothing to say
00:37:49Very 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
00:38:04To suspend your internship
00:38:06And to terminate all treatment
00:38:08And to terminate all treatment
00:38:09Of Mr. Victor Lorenz
00:38:14Effective immediately
00:38:16I'm about to lose everything
00:38:18That I have ever worked for
00:38:20How could I have done this?
00:38:24Say my name
00:38:25Oh God
00:38:26What was I thinking
00:38:27And more importantly
00:38:28If I had a chance to go back
00:38:30Would I do it again?
00:38:32Of course
00:38:34There is a way out
00:38:35We're willing to give you another chance
00:38:40This is a sworn statement
00:38:43That Victor Lorenz
00:38:44Acted against your will
00:38:46Using his status and professional expertise
00:38:48To psychologically manipulate you
00:38:51Into a coerced, non-consensual contact
00:38:55All this required
00:38:56Is your signature
00:39:10You want me to lie
00:39:13It's not a lie
00:39:14You're a victim
00:39:15Sign this
00:39:16And not only will we restore your position
00:39:19But we will use all of our legal resources
00:39:22To get you the justice you so sorely deserve
00:39:25And to put that monster away where he belongs
00:39:38I refuse
00:39:39What did you say?
00:39:41I take full responsibility
00:39:43And ownership over my actions
00:39:45And 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
00:39:52You're not even an intern
00:39:54You're nothing
00:39:55What I am
00:39:57Has nothing to do with you
00:40:01Fine, get out
00:40:03I promise you
00:40:04You'll pay a painful price
00:40:06For 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 artists?
00:40:27I don't know what you're talking about
00:40:29Do you want to know how many copies there are
00:40:31Of that one-of-a-kind crown you're so proud of?
00:40:34Victor loves collecting broken souls
00:40:36But did you know what he really wants?
00:40:39Is to exhibit them?
00:40:42Get in you pathetic little stray
00:40:43I put your collar on
00:40:54To have a child
00:40:55To be the two-one-of-a-kind
00:40:55To be the four-one-of-a-kind
00:40:56I don't know.
00:41:27I don't know.
00:41:47This is Victor's private playground.
00:41:52Everyone here is rich, powerful, and they love Victor.
00:42:00Victor's art.
00:42:02No.
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.
00:42:48He 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.
00:43:12And you, you look just about perfectly polished.
00:43:16I imagine at the next acquisition night, you'll be the main exhibit.
00:43:29Meet me at the, meet me at the, meet me at the, meet me at the station.
00:43:51Is this the final stage of my treatment?
00:43:54You polish me and then train me exactly how you want and then sell me off to those perverts
00:43:59at your club?
00:44:01Isabella told you this?
00:44:02So you admitted it's true.
00:44:07So you think that low of me?
00:44:09You think I'm some monster and they were right to lock me away?
00:44:14Then kill me.
00:44:17Come on.
00:44:19Finish it.
00:44:20Do it.
00:44:23Do it.
00:44:26This is over.
00:44:27And I'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.
00:45:07Okay, 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.
00:45:17I 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.
00:45:27You'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.
00:45:35I'll text you the address.
00:45:36Erin, I'm begging you.
00:45:38This will be the last time I see you.
00:45:58You came.
00:45:59You actually came.
00:46:00Wreck, where is my mom's things?
00:46:02Yeah, um, over here.
00:46:13Not bad at all.
00:46:16Oh, 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.
00:46:22Wreck Miller, you son of a bitch!
00:46:26Scream all you want sweetheart.
00:46:30Tonight you belong to me.
00:46:36You might as well stop fighting.
00:46:38Stick 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.
00:46:59Look at this.
00:47:01Kinky.
00:47:02I like it.
00:47:30Kinky.
00:47:30I like it.
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-
00:47:46Ah!
00:47:47Ow!
00:47:48My hand!
00:47:49Ah!
00:47:52You!
00:47:52You!
00:47:53You stay away from us!
00:47:55Alright, we're with.
00:47:56We'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.
00:48:18You gotta understand it.
00:48:19It was them.
00:48:20They 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.
00:48:28I swear.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:29For Aaron's sake!
00:48:34It won't happen again.
00:48:36I swear.
00:48:37Please.
00:48:37For Aaron's sake!
00:48:38Please.
00:48:39I-I'm her father.
00:48:41You can't-
00:48:41I'm her goddamn father!
00:48:44Oh!
00:48:45Oh!
00:48:46Oh!
00:48:49Oh!
00:48:50Oh!
00:48:51Victor, don't-
00:48:54He touched you.
00:48:58Which hand did you use to touch her?
00:49:00No, I-I didn't touch her.
00:49:04Ah!
00:49:05Ah!
00:49:07Ah!
00:49:09Ah!
00:49:09Ah!
00:49:10Ah!
00:49:11Ah!
00:49:14Ah!
00:49:16Ah!
00:49:18Ah!
00:49:19Ah!
00:49:20Ah!
00:49:20Ah!
00:49:24Ah!
00:49:32Don't move.
00:49:34Ah!
00:49:36Ah!
00:49:40Ah!
00:49:44Mom, this is not my fault.
00:49:49I shouldn't have went after him.
00:49:55Why aren't you saying anything?
00:49:58Isabella was lying.
00:49:59Why 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?
00:50:17No.
00:50:20That is a flaw that requires correction.
00:50:49Let's go.
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, your body is made for pleasure, not for fear.
00:51:58Feeling better?
00:51:59Mm-hmm.
00:52:01Good.
00:52:04But your treatment is not over yet.
00:52:38Hello?
00:52:39Is this Miss Erin White?
00:52:41This is Sam Seville.
00:52:45Mr. Seville, hi.
00:52:47Oh, young lady, don't be nervous.
00:52:50I just wanted to call to apologize.
00:52:52For the injustice you recently suffered.
00:52:55Um, thank you so much for your concern.
00:52:59Listen, I know what men like Logan and Graves are.
00:53:03It was our failure to leave you under that kind of pressure.
00:53:07I was just doing my job.
00:53:09I know.
00:53:09I'd like to meet with you privately.
00:53:12Perhaps I can help you out of this little predicament you're in.
00:53:25Oh, you poor dear.
00:53:27You look absolutely pale with fear.
00:53:31Oh, you poor dear.
00:53:40You look absolutely pale with fear.
00:53:45You had an inappropriate relationship with a patient.
00:53:49Under your care.
00:53:52Under your care.
00:53:52Those photos.
00:53:54That 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.
00:54:20Before his little incident, he was my handpicked successor to run the Institute.
00:54:26Just as the board was about to approve his appointment, 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.
00:54:44But Victor might.
00:54:46Victor had a secret research lab.
00:54:49I'm thinking, if there is a key to his innocence, it's hidden there.
00:54:56Here we go.
00:55:03Aaron, Victor only trusts the people he chooses.
00:55:08And right now, that means you.
00:55:13You alone.
00:56:28Selection criteria female age 20 to 25.
00:56:32Subject must possess significant childhood trauma and a corresponding group of losing personality.
00:56:38Phase 1.
00:56:40Deconstruction.
00:56:41Upon initial contact, expose core traumas and deep-seated insecurities.
00:56:46Induce the collapse of the subject's existing psychological defense mechanisms.
00:56:50You long to be touched in a way that you're too afraid to ask for.
00:56:56Phase 2.
00:56:58Dependency transference.
00:57:00Find the identity of savior to the self, becoming the subject's sole spiritual anchor.
00:57:05Phase 3.
00:57:07Imprinting.
00:57:09Bestow a symbolic object such as a collar.
00:57:12At this point, the subject will fully internalize her new identity as the artist's masterpiece.
00:57:46I'm a masterpiece.
00:57:48I'm a masterpiece.
00:57:48I have no soul.
00:57:49The artist gives me meaning.
00:57:52I can't live without the artist.
00:57:55I am a masterpiece.
00:58:01I am a masterpiece.
00:58:20Well, well, well, well, Miss White.
00:58:29Breaking into a secure research lab in the middle of the night?
00:58:33No longer just breach of ethics.
00:58:35This is breaking the law.
00:58:38It's her.
00:58:39She's crazy.
00:58:41That lunatic victor.
00:58:42They pushed me down the stairs.
00:58:43They broke my leg.
00:58:57So that's what I do.
00:58:59You liar.
00:59:01And a piece of shit.
00:59:03He went.
00:59:04And a crass.
00:59:10See this?
00:59:11Typical psychotic episode.
00:59:15I'm afraid she's completely lost it.
00:59:18Miss White, given that your next of kin has accused you of violent behavior, and that you're clearly in a
00:59:27state of extreme mental instability,
00:59:33I'm signing an emergency order for your compulsory admission.
00:59:36You, you, you, and you, are going to remember your faces.
00:59:45Gentlemen, take her away.
01:00:11Nurse.
01:00:13Nurse.
01:00:15Nurse.
01:00:15There's been a mistake.
01:00:16I am not a patient here.
01:00:17My name is Erin White.
01:00:18I'm an intern.
01:00:19Half the people in here say they're someone else.
01:00:22Napoleon, Cleopatra.
01:00:24You're the first one to claim to be a doctor.
01:00:26I'm not lying, okay?
01:00:29Graves.
01:00:31Warden Graves.
01:00:32He framed me, okay?
01:00:33Just give me one phone call.
01:00:34Mr. Seville, he will tell you who I am.
01:00:36Mr. Seville, again.
01:00:38The last patient who thought she was his fiancée is still singing up around the room next door.
01:00:42Now open up.
01:00:43Time for your meds.
01:00:44No, no, no.
01:00:45I can't take those, okay?
01:00:46They will ruin my body.
01:00:47No, I am not sick.
01:00:48Whether you're sick or not isn't up to you here.
01:00:52Hold her down.
01:00:55Hold her down.
01:00:59No, no, no, no, no!
01:01:01No, no, no, no, no!
01:01:32Isabella.
01:01:34Victor!
01:01:35Yes!
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.
01:01:45She's in a very safe place, receiving the most professional care.
01:01:50No disturbances, no visitors.
01:01:53Just like you were all those years ago.
01:01:55Let her go.
01:01:57I will.
01:01:58On one condition.
01:02:02Come back to me.
01:02:04Let me be yours again tonight.
01:02:09You think you've won?
01:02:11Isabella.
01:02:12The biggest mistake you and your father ever made was taking it out on Erin.
01:02:18I made a mistake?
01:02:20How am I inferior to her?
01:02:23That replacement you scraped out of the garbage!
01:02:26With you, it's always just work.
01:02:28Every touch, every training session was just part of the job.
01:02:33But with Erin, I lose control of my heart.
01:02:36You're lying!
01:02:42If your heart won't belong to me, then I'll just keep your body.
01:02:47Forever and ever.
01:03:07Now, Erin, I'm giving you one last chance.
01:03:10Admit that you conspired with Victor to assault your stepfather.
01:03:16Volunteer for treatment.
01:03:18And I can make this easier on you.
01:03:21No, you wouldn't do that.
01:03:23It's touching.
01:03:24You're still attempting to protect Mr. Lawrence.
01:03:27But he can't hear you.
01:03:29He's too busy being entertained by Miss Sabelle.
01:03:33What did you just say?
01:03:35Oh, come now, Erin.
01:03:36You can't believe you're anything more than a piece in their game.
01:03:42Now 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, I have to survive, I have to wait for him to save Desiree, I
01:04:17have to personally send all of you to hell.
01:04:24You're just a couple of days!
01:04:32Very, very good.
01:04:35That's it, right?
01:04:36There we go.
01:04:50Open your mouth.
01:04:53Go.
01:05:07Open your mouth.
01:05:10Open your mouth.
01:05:14Open your mouth.
01:05:16Open your mouth.
01:05:21Open your mouth.
01:05:21Open your mouth.
01:05:22Open your mouth.
01:05:23Open your mouth.
01:05:24Open your mouth.
01:05:24Open your mouth.
01:05:25Open your mouth.
01:05:25Open your mouth.
01:05:25Open your mouth.
01:05:26Open your mouth.
01:05:27Open your mouth.
01:05:29Open your mouth.
01:05:31Open your mouth.
01:05:32Open your mouth.
01:05:34Open your mouth.
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.
01:06:31And then I found out that I was part of just some experiment called Project Familia.
01:06:3574, what are you doing? Get in line.
01:07:0674, what 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. Okay, here, though. I will thank you.
01:07:27Look at me.
01:07:29You are not alone.
01:07:32Victor.
01:07:33You're gone.
01:07:34This is my dad.
01:07:36He didn't hurt me.
01:07:37He was saving me.
01:07:39But before, I wanted to die.
01:07:45It was Miss Avil.
01:07:48She found me.
01:07:50She said if I didn't sign the papers,
01:07:52if I didn't testify that I was a victim of Victor,
01:07:56they would kill my parents.
01:07:59I signed the papers.
01:08:02Is it Bella?
01:08:04Of course it was her.
01:08:05Well, you said they. Who is they?
01:08:08Was it Graves? Did Graves make you sign?
01:08:11No.
01:08:12So much scarier for the day.
01:08:16Is it Bella?
01:08:17Calls it.
01:08:19Daddy.
01:08:22Is this the final stage of my treatment?
01:08:25Are you saying that Victor was right?
01:08:28That question has haunted me for years.
01:08:30But your treatment is not over yet.
01:08:35So that's it?
01:08:37Victor, you bastard.
01:08:39You weren't lying to me.
01:08:40You really weren't lying.
01:08:41You really weren't lying.
01:09:08Victor, you genius.
01:09:11These girls will need more of your special treatment.
01:09:15If you can fix them,
01:09:17the future of the Institute is yours.
01:09:41Water.
01:09:42The genius doctor.
01:09:43Would you stop begging me for water?
01:09:46You should have learned a long time ago, Victor.
01:09:49The price of defying me is becoming my dog.
01:09:53Isabella.

01:09:55I'm tired.

01:16:02your little games
01:16:03are over Victor
01:16:10you're gonna be your time okay
01:16:24Sir, the online story has been contained.
01:16:27No 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. Dr. Victor Lorenz and I are lovers.
01:17:13So you admit it. A 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. My 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.
01:17:57All right.
01:18:25Back each other is my unfortunate self-hate.
01:18:27You've always wanted to die for death in a world of electrons.
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.
01:18:54Testimony 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,
01:19:57stems not from desire, but a deep-seated desperation for a sense of belonging.
01:20:03Stop it.
01:20:04Stop talking.
01:20:04You forged those documents, framed Victor, locked Lilith away,
01:20:08and you tried to do the exact same thing to me.
01:20:10And all along, the one masterpiece he was so afraid of being left behind was you.
01:20:17Shut up!
01:20:18He promised he would fix me, but then he tried to leave me.
01:20:21I had to ruin him so he could never leave me.
01:20:24I am his masterpiece.
01:20:25Me!
01:20:26Members of the committee, please forgive my daughter's outbursts.
01:20:30Her mental state has always been unstable.
01:20:34The 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.
01:20:48We just received a report an hour ago that the key witness, Rick Miller, was murdered in a motel.
01:20:55The implication is obvious.
01:20:57He was killed to prevent him from testifying here.
01:21:00Killed by Victor Lorenz.
