0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>M The Control group contains scenes of realistic violence and

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>graphic sexuality. It is intended for mature listeners. In the

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>field of psychiatric medicine, it was an exciting time, a

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>time of innovation and discovery, a time when mental health

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>institutions struggled to redefine themselves, to become something more than

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>repositories of the sick. Unorthodox methods and aggressive therapies were

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>not only permitted, but encouraged. Secret This is a record

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>of that time. This is the Control group. Hello, Hello, Hey,

0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in summer home, just touching base, making sure got the

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>equipment you requisitioned. Yes, thank you. We're functionated on right now. Well,

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>let's stay in touch. I'll be near New Cane in

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the first of the year, hoping you might have something

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to show me. No, I will, I've been too delicate.

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I see that. Now. I'm taking a more aggressive approach

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to some of the cases, one in particular, a lapmouse.

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>You sound hungry, appetite. It has never been stronger. Are

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>we talking about the forensic the prostitute? You mean Karen,

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>the keeper of secrets. She's a bit more resistant to

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>my therapies. But I'm breaking through. I'm tired of waiting.

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I've increased the e c T schedule, aggressive sleep and

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 1>psychic driving schedules NonStop for almost twelve weeks. Safe. It's

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>no good cracking open the head if in the process

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.639
<v Speaker 1>you damage the content. No, no, no, no, that's fine.

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I got an interview schedule for this afternoon. What's the hurry.

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I've got an objective now, she revealed to me, or

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I swaite at her to reveal that there was an

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.639
<v Speaker 1>accomplice with her at the Dixie Motel. That's a fact.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>What's the person's name? I don't know. She won't budge

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>on the details. Get us a name. Start with that.

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>It'll be a good measure of your progress. But if

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>you hold that a little longer, do the detective work.

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Connect the dots. I'll try, but I can help wondering

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>whether or not we should be I'll stop thinking about

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>should should He's a dirty word in research. Take yourself

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>off the leash, doctors. Allow yourself to run. You have

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a hunch, follow it, got an inch, scratch it and urge.

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Indulge it, and don't stop to ask whether it's something

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you should be doing. If it gives you a better

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>understanding that's all that matters. You're thinking about something. Am

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I right? You're not wrong, and I don't want to

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 1>know what that is. I just know that, based on

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>what we've seen of your work so far, you need

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>to follow whatever it is wherever it leads. For reasons

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't explain. You feel like it might unlock something.

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Don't try to explain, don't justify it. Do it, learn

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>from it. I'm hearing you, Summer Hill. It's just taking

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>me a moment to digest all this. Use medicine to

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>solve a crime, a murder. Think of it. It's the

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>greatest advancement in crime detections and sodium pentathol or fingerprints.

0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You get an unwilling subject to cooperate without force, without torture,

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to tell the truth. My god, Hayes. Think of that,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the power of truth and end de lies and deception. Yeah,

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>you could go all the way absolute knowledge. You're almost there, Hayes.

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Don't lose your nerve. Feel documented, every word, every detail.

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry good Man, Hayes, good Man. If I am

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>ever to get better again, I must cooperate with Dr Hayes.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>I can trust Dr Hayes only when I'm absolutely healthy again,

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>will I be released? And only by fully cooperating with

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Dr Hayes, Can I ever hope to become well again?

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I have no secrets. There is nothing I can't tell

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:16.400

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.680

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.000

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing I cannot tell Dr Hayes. If I am

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>ever to get better again, I must cooperate with Dr Hayes.

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:33.160

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.439
<v Speaker 1>again will I be released. And only by fully cooperating

<v Speaker 1>with Dr Hayes can I ever hope to become well again.

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I have no secrets, Yes, just checking in before I

0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>clock out that Gloria said she's getting the hang of it,

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>she'll work out fine, and I'm Karen, what is it?

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Vir Tree? Doctor? I know it's not my role to

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>second guess your methods of treatment, especially with something that

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>is so ambitious, but I have to wonder if keeping

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a patient asleep for so long it's not four days?

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you aware of that? I have to wonder if

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>keeping a patient unconscious for thirty four days only waking

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>her up long enough to feed her, shock her and

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>send her back to sleep again. Is well, it's not

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>entirely humane. HM. You're absolutely right, Virtue. It's not your

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>role to question my methods of treatment. It is your

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>role to see that the treatments I prescribe or carried

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>out exactly as instructed. This is a time of great

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for us. I can't allow anything to happen to

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:19.599
<v Speaker 1>derail it. Opportunity for whom doctor or state hospital. But

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>more than that, for modern mess. Advancements are being made

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>every day, and we have an opportunity to be a

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>part of it. It's like an age of exploration discovery

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Columbus the Mayflower. It's happening now, explorers or colonists

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>as I supposed to be. Nobody's trying to call on

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>on you've seen intent on staking a claim. But whose

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>flag are you carrying? I see your point, No, I'm asking.

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I know you may not approve of some of my methods,

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>very I always have until now, I trust that your

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>opinions on interfere with your performance on the ward. Dr

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Hayes miracle treatments have come and gone. This hospital has

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>seen more ages of discovery than I care to count.

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Patients having their entire sets of teeth pulled, confined to

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 1>their necks in water tanks, having their brain tissue scrambled

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>insulin shock clor promising straight jackets. It wasn't so long

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>ago that we used the cages. Don't call them, it's

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>what they are. What should I call them? It's what

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>everyone on staff called them, except on paper. On paper,

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it's I and C isolation and confinement. Sometimes I go

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>down to the basement and look at them. They're still there.

0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm well aware of that. In all my

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.319
<v Speaker 1>time here, I've understood that it was my job to

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 1>just do my job, Okay, not to second guess the

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 1>methods of the men in charge good because it's essential

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>that we have Even when I was certain that we

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>were doing nothing more than inflicting physical harm on the patients,

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>we'd never knowingly harmed any of our trying to erase

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>their symptoms with drugs and shock and surgery rather than

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to isolate the cause. That's your job, My job,

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>My job to oversee the efficient and orderly operation of

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>this ward. That's what I've always done and that's what

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll continue to do. Is that what you think I'm

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>doing inflicting harm. To be honest, I don't understand what

0:14:53.920 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you're doing, and that's what frightens me the most. Oh,

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 1>if there's nothing more, I'll say good night, er Tree.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Who's the night nurse, Debbie? Do you mine asking her

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to take Karen off the pheno barb around four am?

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Let her come out of it. Then when you get

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>in we'll have a look at her. Bring her into

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>my office for an interview to make sure she's wonderful.

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll see to it right away and virtue Yes, Dr,

<v Speaker 1>October interview six, after thirty four days in the sleep room. Doctor,

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>patient is not a sodium amatoor drip. This should place

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the patient in a semi lucid state susceptible to hypnotic suggestion. Also,

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>president is ward head nurse Ergery Bilburn. I must collaborate

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>with Dr. That's it. Just sit her up in the chair.

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I can trust doctor. I just want to make sure

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't lean over and pull the ivy out. Absolutely,

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>help go ahead and kill the driving take and only

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>by fully coor are you with me? Karen Karen, Karen, Karen, there,

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>we are wonderful. Thank you, Verdrey. I'll call you a

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 1>fine nature. Perhaps I should sit in and observe. I

0:16:53.360 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 1>could take notes. Mhm, very well, I'll be outside. Just relax, Karen.

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I want you to take a little journey. I want

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 1>you to take me with you. Can you do that

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>for me? I want you to go back to the

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Dixie Hotel the night you were arrested, Room five seventeen twelve.

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Was that twelve? Five twelve? Always? Yes? Yet five twelve.

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I want you to be there right now, just as

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 1>you were that night. I want you to remember where

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.439
<v Speaker 1>you were, what you were doing, who you were with.

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.679
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not there. I'm here her. I'll keep your

0:17:54.680 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>eyes closed. Remember you're in room five twelve, the room

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 1>with bed, and you're with the man. Which one the

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>one you were with that night? More than one? More

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>than one? Right? Well, I'm sure he was the last one.

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe his name was Ronald Ronald Grant. Is that

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:30.959
<v Speaker 1>the name he gave you? Ronnie? No last name? Right?

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 1>You brought Ronnie up to the room, didn't you? Yes?

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Why did you bring him to the room? He wanted

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to he wanted to what he wanted to come up

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to my room. Was there anyone else in the room

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>with you? No? No, because I was under the impression

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>you had a partner, maybe something like a scoured or pimp.

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>What the man behind all this? The one who arranged

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 1>for you to bring Ronald up there, the one who

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>pushed Ronnie out the window. You know who I mean? Oh? Him? Yes? Him?

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about him? What is his name, Karen? I

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you, why not, I'm not allowed. But you

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>do know his name? Did he ask you not to

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 1>tell I'm not allowed to speak his name. He made

0:19:55.400 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that very clear. Well, if you can't tell me his name,

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>perhaps you can tell me something else about him. For instance,

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:12.360
<v Speaker 1>what does he do do? That's right, he doesn't do anything.

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 1>He just watches me, watches you, watches me when I

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>with men, watches me to make sure I do what

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to do with men in room five twelve,

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>always room five. So the night you move with Ronald,

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>this other man, was he in the room with you? No?

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 1>He came in later. No, this this person watches over you.

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 1>You make it sound like he's uh is even real?

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 1>What is it? Some defense mechanism? You're projecting, so you

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 1>don't have to. I don't understand when he's there with you?

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you see him or is he invisible? He prefers

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:21.200
<v Speaker 1>not to be seen. I understand, but he's there. I'm

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>sure he's there to protect you. He protects me, he

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 1>controls you. Is he omniscient? I don't know what you mean.

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Does he know everything? Does he have absolute knowledge? Seems to?

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Is he omnipotent? Does he have absolute power? He seems to.

0:21:54.040 --> 0:22:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Does he have a name? Yes? Good? What is it

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>forbidden to speak? Have you seen his face? Yes? You've

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>spoken to it, yes, and he's spoken back, of course.

0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:21.679
<v Speaker 1>And what does he tell you? He tells me what

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 1>to do, which is what I can't tell you. For

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 1>christ say, why can't you tell me? He made it

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>very clear it isn't to be known. I'm not to

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about it with anyone very well, then I won't

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>ask you to talk about it. But if you can't

0:22:53.160 --> 0:23:03.679
<v Speaker 1>tell me, could you show me? M Karen? Can you

0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:07.679
<v Speaker 1>show me what it is that? What he wants you

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to do with the men in room five? Lots of things,

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 1>just one thing, the most important thing. Oh, for the record,

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>patient is has raised her forefinger and is uh indicating

0:23:36.119 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 1>her open mouth. You may lower your Handcaren. That's fine.

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, ladies. Today is a very special day. One

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>of our patients is graduating and we'll be departing from

<v Speaker 1>January eight, and it's going to be a glorious day.

<v Speaker 1>It's so exciting to come on, ladies, let's give her

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:44.720

<v Speaker 1>me a postpord I love you, dear, Thank you. By

0:24:51.240 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Now it's time, Charlotte. Are you excited? I'm ling You're

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:06.399
<v Speaker 1>going to be fine, Charlotte. Your husband is here. Bert's here. Yes,

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 1>he's talking with Dr Hayes right now. I'll carry your

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:24.920

<v Speaker 1>Any problems, any questions, don't hesitate to call. I will

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 1>thank you day or not here, Yes, sir, give her

0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:39.719
<v Speaker 1>some time to settle in. Try not to rush her

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>into being who she was. Spending two years and these

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>walls does change a person. But I assure you she

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 1>is still your Charlotte. It's just gonna take her a

0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>little while to become that person again. But it'll all

0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 1>come to the familiarity, the affection, I promise. I can't

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you enough, doctor, for everything you've done. I think

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:13.160
<v Speaker 1>nothing of it. Seeing a patient return homes the greatest

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 1>reward I can have. Good a start, patient all packed up,

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to go. Hello. It's not gonna be easy

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 1>for us seeing you leave, is it? That's true? Doctor,

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going far, am I No, just across town,

0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and since this is New Canaan, you'll never be very

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 1>far away. I'm sure we'll see each other in town,

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 1>bump into one another at the supermarket. Won't that be funny. Yeah,

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:59.480

<v Speaker 1>couple of years old, who do you. I guess I

0:27:56.880 --> 0:28:00.680

<v Speaker 1>in the world to be afraid of. I'll take good

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.520

<v Speaker 1>Take her straight in there, glorious, set up everything, go

0:30:47.040 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>one m your attention, please, ladies. It seems that Charlotte

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 1>was not quite ready to leave our little group, so

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>she'll be staying with us a little longer. I want

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to ask all of you for a little bit of

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:21.280
<v Speaker 1>extra kindness today. I want to give Charlotte as much

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>privacy as she requires, as much companionship as she desires

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:40.959
<v Speaker 1>today tomorrow, as long as it takes. I don't I

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see any tears. I don't want to

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>hear the I don't want to hear the words I'm sorry.

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to see smiles and hugs and words of welcome,

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>because that that's all that Charlotte needs from us right now.

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:11.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's what we'll give her. Thank you, ber those

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>very nice I did it for her, not for you, burgery.

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk in my office. Yes, of course, can't parrot

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>seeing Charlotte fail that way, watching months of work just

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 1>go down the drain. Two years she comes in with

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 1>about a postpartum depression. Now she can't more than about doctor,

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Remember what it was like when she arrived. She had

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>lost a child, she had cut her wrists and wasn't eating.

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 1>We should have taken her case more serious. And I

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>think I've treated her too much as a staff member

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and stopped looking at her as a patient. It's my fault, really,

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>You're exhausted, not just me, all of us, yourself included,

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the e c T schedule, the sleep room, the driving tapes.

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 1>It's too much. It's too much. Don't confuse my fatigue

0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>with my concern for the well being of these women,

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:35.120
<v Speaker 1>would vitre. It's no one's fault, really, But the damage

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>has been done, the public humiliation we suffered by that

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 1>spectacle she made out there in our humiliation. The only

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>person suffering over this is Charlotte. All the same word

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 1>gets out. The damage could be severe, It gets out

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to whom. You know, the opportunities we've been given lately,

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 1>there's no limit to what we can accomplish. But we

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 1>have to earn Our program is under a lot of

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 1>scrutiny right now. Can't afford another embarrassment like that. We'll

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:12.759
<v Speaker 1>start over. Will they race everything deep pattern her mind,

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>wipe her clean and rebuild from the ground up. How

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 1>do you expect to do that without the tools. We

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 1>increase the duration of the sleep cycle. We will increase

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the E C T frequency, play with the intensity. We'll

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 1>make the changes slowly, right considering this stage. For this

0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:37.759
<v Speaker 1>to work, we need to shock her system. We'll start immediately.

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll record a psychic driving tape for her myself. No

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:45.040
<v Speaker 1>more gentle persuasion. Tear her down so we can build

0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 1>her up. It was a mistake to try and normalize

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.719
<v Speaker 1>her with thin the hospital. There's no such thing as

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 1>normalcy here. Yeah, she needs to be home, bed room,

0:34:56.520 --> 0:35:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen, the living room, the places that define in her.

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 1>That's where she needs to regain her sellness of self.

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Not here. We couldn't rid her of her neurosis. Put

0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>her back in the home. Tabula rassa. Yes, her healthy

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>instincts could return naturally. That's it. You might be able

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:24.879
<v Speaker 1>to salvage this situation. After all, what do you say

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.759
<v Speaker 1>about that? Are you doing this because it's the best

0:35:28.760 --> 0:35:32.200
<v Speaker 1>thing for Charlotte or two keep her from being an

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 1>embarrassment to this. Count on you, Virdree. You can I

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 1>can't do this without your help. You have it. Good good.
