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?
00:11:39No.
00:11:47No.
00:11:58Okay, so Eusterman was so crazy, and that's her, the one who got Lobo fired?
00:12:03I heard she played dirty, shady sluts.
00:12:07Don't say that.
00:12:08She's Victor Lorenz's guardian now.
00:12:11Who dare mess with her?
00:12:17I need to get through this project with Victor to secure that permanent position, and it
00:12:22is what I've always dreamed of, and I can't let him lure me into his dangerous games.
00:12:36It was you, wasn't it?
00:12:38You and that psycho!
00:12:41I don't know what you're talking about!
00:12:42Get off me!
00:12:43Don't pretend you don't know!
00:12:45I was fired, terminated, all because of some anonymous bullshit embezzlement file, and
00:12:50don't try to tell me that that's a coincidence!
00:12:52I don't know anything about that!
00:12:55Don't know?
00:12:56You...
00:12:58You smell like him.
00:13:00Oh, Erin, you really are something.
00:13:02You are insane!
00:13:04I'm insane!
00:13:05You're the one who's fucking a patient for a promotion!
00:13:08You're the psycho bitch here!
00:13:11Let me see...
00:13:12Let me see what kind of march that wreath left on you!
00:13:16Oh, did he use a collar, huh?
00:13:18A whip, did he?
00:13:21Oh, did he use a collar, huh?
00:13:23A whip, did he?
00:13:25Oh, did he use a collar, huh?
00:13:36A whip, did he?
00:13:36I'll tell everyone.
00:13:38I'll tell them all what kind of filthy deals you're making with that... that monster!
00:14:00I expected you sooner.
00:14:02I expected you sooner.
00:14:18Director Logan, he was using your name to order ten times the normal dosage.
00:14:23Oh my god, he was skimming a fortune on kickbacks.
00:14:27Why would you use my name?
00:14:34When your name is tied to mine, my heart eats faster.
00:14:53What is this?
00:14:55Put it on.
00:14:57Put it on.
00:14:59A smart predator learns to disguise himself as prey.
00:15:17It's time for your treatment to begin.
00:15:37Take off your clothes.
00:15:46To be continued...
00:15:47To be continued...
00:15:48To be continued...
00:15:48To be continued...
00:15:48To be continued...
00:15:48To be continued...
00:15:48To be continued...
00:15:59To be continued...
00:16:03To be continued...
00:16:08All of it?
00:16:09No.
00:16:53Record the objective state of your pie.
00:16:57I don't know what you mean.
00:17:05Do not interpret.
00:17:06Record.
00:17:11No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:13No, no.
00:17:16Let me out!
00:17:17Let me out!
00:17:18Victor, let me out!
00:17:20Open the door!
00:17:21Victor!
00:17:22Open the door!
00:17:23No, no, no, no.
00:17:28Worthless trash!
00:17:30Just 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 out.
00:17:52Your treatment has just begun.
00:18:06So, Aaron, I need a progress report on the Lorenz guardianship project.
00:18:11Of course, Warden Graves.
00:18:12The 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.
00:18:46Report your current physiological and psychological state now.
00:18:50My...
00:18:51My heart is...
00:18:52It's beating really fast and I can't...
00:18:56It's really cold.
00:18:59I want my mom and I just want to die.
00:19:02Not specific enough.
00:19:03I want data.
00:19:04Don't let your fear overcome you, Aaron.
00:19:06Fight it.
00:19:06You're strong.
00:19:08Report again.
00:19:11Heart rate is elevated to 144 beats per minute.
00:19:15Respiration is shallow.
00:19:17Temperature is elevated.
00:19:19Psychologically experiencing childhood trauma flashbacks accompanied by intense feelings of...
00:19:36verbal abuse.
00:19:40Congratulations.
00:19:41You didn't drown in your fear.
00:19:42You observed it.
00:19:55Victor, I think I'm not afraid anymore.
00:20:11Take me out.
00:20:19Tonight, the Seville family is throwing a private art exhibition.
00:20:24Seville...
00:20:24Is in the owner of the hospital?
00:20:26What would I possibly do there?
00:20:29Step into the spotlight and...
00:20:31Show them that you're not a mere intern they can humiliate and overpower.
00:20:36Or...
00:20:36Simply stay here and let those hyenas tear you to pieces.
00:20:40Your choice.
00:20:50You must be safe.
00:20:51Oh you're so bland.
00:21:02Oh my God...
00:21:20Ignore them.
00:21:24Think of them like specimens in a frame.
00:21:27You 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?
00:21:51Seems like a decent pick.
00:21:56I, um, I don't know anything about this.
00:21:59This 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.
00:22:11Don'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?
00:23:15I'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?
00:26:00My 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!
00:26:36Oh, God.
00:26:37I 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.
00:27:32Oh, God.
00:27:38Oh, God.
00:27:38I need to leave.
00:27:42Oh, God.
00:27:43Some terror of my gravity.
00:27:46Limitless reality.
00:27:50Oh, God.
00:27:53Oh, God.
00:27:54Don't do it.
00:27:56Like 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.
00:32:00I have a better idea.
00:32:30I don't know.
00:33:09Aaron, look at me.
00:33:12Victor, I might really be 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.
00:34:09Victor, my artist.
00:34:14Take me.
00:34:15I'm sorry.
00:34:15I'm sorry.
00:34:37I'm sorry.
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.
00:35:04Given the fact that your grossly inappropriate relationship with your patient has caused irreparable damage to this institution's reputation,
00:35:14this committee has voted unanimously to suspend your internship and to terminate all treatment of Mr. Victor Lorenz.
00:35:26Effective 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.
00:35:38What was I thinking?
00:35:40And more 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, using his status and professional expertise to psychologically
00:36:02manipulate you into 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, but we will use all of our legal resources to
00:36:35get you the justice you so sorely deserve.
00:36:37And 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?
00:37:00You'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.
00:37:14Get out.
00:37:15I 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?
00:37:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:37:42Do you want to know how many copies there are of that one-of-a-kind crown you're so proud
00:37:46of?
00:37:47Victor 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.

00:46:44Don't move
00:46:59This is all my fault. I shouldn't have went after him
00:47:08Why aren't you saying anything? Isabella 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
00:47:27Do you think that requires an explanation? No
00:47:32That is a flaw that requires correction
00:48:15I'm going to erase every last trace of them
00:48:19I'm going to erase every last trace of them
00:48:22I'm going to erase every last trace of them

00:48:49Not for fear
00:49:18The 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.
00:50:00Oh, young lady, don't be nervous.
00:50:02I 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 you're in.
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.
00:51:15That is not. It was all part of the treatment.
00:51:19I believe you.
00:51:20You're not some shameless hussy off the street.
00:51:25Seeing you in this situation, it reminds me of Victor.
00:51:31He was my protege.
00:51:33Before 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 of 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.
00:51:57But 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.
00:52:37The company has to ask.
00:52:44I don't know who I was.
00:52:45I'm thinking I tradALIZ.
00:52:45Yes, sir.

00:58:46Victor.
00:58:47Yes?
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...
00:59:28taking 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 was always just work.
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.
01:00:29Volunteer for treatment.
01:00:30And I can make this easier on you.
01:00:34No, you wouldn't do that!
01:00:36It's touching you're still attempting to protect Mr. Lawrence.
01:00:40But he can't hear you.
01:00:41He was 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 the city.
01:01:30I have to personally send all of you to hell.
01:01:36I have to survive.
01:01:39I have to survive.
01:01:44I have to survive.
01:01:45Very good.
01:01:48That's it, right?
01:01:49There we go.
01:02:03Open your mouth.
01:02:05Go.
01:02:19Open your mouth.
01:02:22Go.
01:02:24Go.
01:02:26Go.
01:02:28Go.
01:02:29Go.
01:02:30Go.
01:02:32Go.
01:02:52Go.
01:02:53Go.
01:02:54Go.
01:02:56Go.
01:02:57Go.
01:02:58Go.
01:03:00Go.
01:03:25We're gone.
01:03:27I wasn't. I 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, I don't. I don't know.
01:03:43And then I found out that I was part of just some experiment called Project Familia.
01:03:4974-217, what are you doing? Get in line!
01:04:1874-217, what are you doing?
01:04:23I think Malian is alive.
01:04:27You have to help me.
01:04:30It's okay, just tell me what's going on.
01:04:34Never mind. They'll hear. They'll... I won't thank you.
01:04:40Look at me.
01:04:42You are not alone.
01:04:45Victor.
01:04:46You're gone.
01:04:48He didn't hurt me. He was saving me.
01:04:52But before, I wanted to die.
01:04:58It was Ms. Saville.
01:05:01She found me.
01:05:03She said if I didn't sign the papers, if I didn't testify that I was a victim of Victor, they
01:05:09would kill my parents.
01:05:13I signed the papers.
01:05:15Is it Bella?
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?
01:05:24No.
01:05:25Something much scarier than it is a pillow, Colson.
01:05:32Daddy.
01:05:35Is this the final stage of my treatment?
01:05:38Are you saying that Victor was frightened?
01:05:41That question has haunted me for years.
01:05:43But your treatment is not over yet.
01:05:49So that's it?
01:05:50Victor, you bastard. You weren't lying to me. You 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.
01:06:54Water.
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, this war.
01:07:08I'm tired.
01:07:10I surrender.
01:07:31I don't know your records.

01:09:05I can't escape you.
01:09:07You were right.
01:09:08I never should have tried to leave.
01:09:09Because only with you am I not the madman on trial.
01:09:13I'm just Vector.
01:09:15You finally understand, Vic.
01:09:17I knew you still had feelings for me.
01:09:19Perhaps a toast.
01:09:21Of course, Vic.
01:09:36To you, my love.
01:09:53Our destiny is to be together forever.

01:10:38Someone who can get you a Pulitzer.
01:10:52In other news, the court has filed multiple charges against Dr. Victor Lorenz,
01:10:57including unlawful administration of drugs, illegal confinement, and illegal trafficking.
01:11:02His whereabouts are still unknown.
01:11:15Victor?
01:11:17Victor?
01:11:17Impossible.
01:11:17The entire city is looking for you.
01:11:19The Seville's are the real criminals.
01:11:21This file contains the guest list for their auctions, as well as information on several of the girls who have
01:11:27disappeared.
01:11:27It's not enough to convict them, but it's enough to start a firestorm.
01:11:30Is this real?
01:11:33You're the journalist you tell me.
01:11:35I have to publish this immediately.
01:11:37No.
01:11:38We don't want a story.
01:11:39We want a trial.
01:11:41Graves has notified the state medical board that a hearing will be held in two days regarding the major ethical
01:11:46scandal at Black Mountain Mental Hospital.
01:11:49Sam Seville and Isabella will be in attendance.
01:11:51You want me to...
01:11:53I want you to use every media outlet at your disposal to turn this trumped-up witch hunt into a
01:11:58nationally televised public execution.
01:12:01Livestream it?
01:12:02That's insane.
01:12:03They'll do everything to bury it.
01:12:05Then we need to light a fire so big they can't put it out.
01:12:08I've sold everything.
01:12:09My property, my art, my stocks.
01:12:12All of it is on this card now.
01:12:14It's enough to burn their empire to the ground.
01:12:16Okay.
01:12:18I'm in.
01:12:19One more thing.
01:12:34Sir, there's a story breaking online about the club.
01:12:38An investigative report called the Black Mountain Files.
01:12:43Victor.
01:12:44It's gotta be him.
01:12:46You incompetent fools can't keep track of one man.
01:12:51Find Rick Miller.
01:12:53Clean it up.
01:12:56Make it look like he's tying up a loose end.
01:12:59I want him buried so deep he'll never crawl out.
01:13:02Get PR.
01:13:04Bury that story.
01:13:06I don't want to hear a word of it before the hearing.
01:13:08Yes, sir.
01:13:14Your little games are over, Victor.
01:13:37Sir, the online story has been contained.
01:13:40No one who matters is watching this live stream.
01:13:47Miss Erin White, this committee will now conduct a public hearing regarding your alleged gross
01:13:54violation of medical ethics.
01:13:56I ask you now, during your time as Victor Lorenz's guardian, did you engage in an illicit, inappropriate
01:14:03relationship that went beyond your doctor-patient boundary?
01:14:08I admit it.
01:14:10Dr. Victor Lorenz and I are lovers.
01:14:27So you admit it.
01:14:28A gross violation of professional ethics.
01:14:31I 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.
01:14:47And I used to believe that I would live in an endless cycle of self-hate and destruction.
01:14:55Till I met Victor.
01:14:56Victor.
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, then it is a
01:15:08charge
01:15:09that I happily accept.
01:15:45What about Victor?
01:15:47What about Victor?
01:15:47Did he or did he not use psychological manipulation against you?
01:15:50Orton Graves, the core of your accusations stems from a forged file called Project Pimillion.
01:15:57And I would like to call the key witness in this case, Lilith Hines.
01:16:06The testimony 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.
01:16:34When 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, stems not from desire,
01:17:12but 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, and you tried to do the exact
01:17:23same 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
01:18:06a motel.
01:18:08The implication is obvious.
01:18:10He was killed, to prevent him from testifying here, killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:18:18He was killed by Victor Lorenz.
01:18:28Victor, you 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.
01:19:06He's just a patient, Aaron.
01:19:08Aaron, complete 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?
01:19:20It 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?
01:19:34It's Dr. Lorenz, and you just got a sedative.
01:19:36You got maybe 10 safe minutes before it wears off.
01:19:54Air 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.
01:20:13Who?
01:20:14Are you threatening?
01:20:16I'm just stating a fact.
01:20:18Now please, get out of my way so I can do my job.
01:20:21Enjoy it while you can, because your evaluation report will never be approved.
01:20:27Trust me.
01:20:28You're finished here.
01:20:42Smart 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.
01:21:01Shhhh.
01:21:25Thanks, Dr. Lorenz.
01:21:27Uh, Victor.
01:21:29I'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.
