Faults
Can I get you anything else?
Well, in that case.
Whenever you're ready.
I have a voucher.
I'll be right back.
That's a voucher from the hotel.
Y-Yes it is, but uh, this
voucher's been used already.
No it hasn't.
See here?
These are my initials.
I'm the manager.
When the voucher's been used,
I mark it with my initials and
Then it's processed.
I was given that by the hotel.
I understand.
What I'm saying is that
you used it last night, okay?
I remember you.
And it looks like you, or
someone, you know, tried to
Erase the writing.
But it's pen ink.
I mean, it's faded,
but it's still there.
I am a guest of the hotel.
I was promised one
complimentary meal a day while
I'm staying here.
That's fine, but I don't
You're going to have to take it
up with hotel management, okay?
But this is no good, and I
need you to pay for your food.
How much is it?
I don't have that.
$4.75.
How much do you have?
Nothing.
I don't have anything.
Okay, I'm going to have
to ask you to leave.
I'd like to finish my meal.
And I'd like for you to leave.
Plus, you've already
eaten your food.
No, stop that.
Come on.
We're not gonna do that.
No, w-We're not
going to do that.
No, no, no, n...
no, come on.
Come on.
Don't make this hard. Come on.
I want you to know I saw you
take that voucher
Out of the trash.
I wasn't going to say
anything because I didn't want
To embarrass you.
And then this happened.
So I'm saying it.
You look familiar.
I don't know you, so I don't
know how you would know me.
Mr. Roth!
Only a few more hours
until your presentation.
Do you have everything you need?
My sign was on the ground.
I-I'm sorry to hear that.
Housekeeping was wondering
at what point they may expect
Also, why was my dinner only comped
last night? Your things to be...
I was under the impression I
would get one free meal
Per day.
Mm.
What time is checkout
tomorrow morning?
I can be out by then.
I think there's been some
sort of misunderstanding.
Well, according to the
agreed-Upon terms of the
Speaking arrangement.
You are entitled to a night's
stay and one free meal at
Our restaurant.
You used both last night.
Terry is aware of this?
I don't know who terry is.
My manager.
The man who made the deal.
Terry agreed to the terms, yes.
Checkout was supposed
to be at noon.
Can you be out of the
room in the next hour?
Housekeeping!
One second please.
This is the most basic freedom.
Choice.
Making a choice for yourself
based on what life gives you.
That is free will.
But what if someone
else is in control?
What if they control
your physical body?
Your mind's every thought?
Your emotional well-Being?
Well ladies and
gentlemen, cults do this.
They exploit the fact that
Is the capacity
to be captivated.
To be manipulated.
Controlled.
They exploit your weaknesses
Care about you.
physical barriers, distancing
You from everyone and
everything you once knew,
Including yourself.
They mold you.
They conform you.
Even with that voice in the
back of your head screaming
"Get out!"
Most give in.
When another human being makes
decisions for you,
Your free will ceases to be.
You're a follower.
At that point you have
become a follower.
But, you don't have to be.
You may ask "how do I
escape this imprisonment?"
Well, I'm...
well I'm going to talk
with you about that now.
And I encourage you to follow
along at this point in
My book.
For those who do not have a
copy, they can be purchased
From me at this time for $15.
I'm sorry, do you
have a question?
No, I do not.
Okay, good.
No one needs a book?
I-I see a lot of you
do not have a book.
F*** you.
Me?
You.
I'm talking to you.
Okay, I, I don't understand
what you're trying to say.
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
I...
I am Ansel Roth, one of the
world's foremost authorities
On mind control and
cult organizations.
You're a murderer.
Who are you?
You brainwashed my family into
thinking what they were doing
Was right.
Oh god.
It was.
care about her
Gang-Raped her mind.
She would be dead.
I know she's not alive now,
but she would be dead if she
Stayed with the group.
She wouldn't have died alone.
We tried to help her.
You have to see that.
Please, understand.
It's good to see that you've
ruined your own life just as
Much as you've ruined
the lives of others.
Okay, you are right.
Your sister was broken, but
I had nothing to do with it.
She had the choice of living
Controlled her, abused her, or
dying alone in solidarity with
A suicide cult.
She made her choice, huh?
Ugh!
Oh!
Oh.. Ow!
Piece of sh*t.
I hope you die!
And I hope I broke
one of your ribs.
Ow...
do you need a hand with that?
Uh...
just stack it on
the dolly, please.
This is my wife Evelyn.
I'm Paul.
We attended your seminar.
Did you buy a book?
Oh, we already have one.
Big fans.
I can sign it if you
like for five dollars.
I don't think
that'll be necessary.
Uh, oh, uh, can you
make it out to Claire?
No, I don't sign that book.
I only sign this one.
Put that away please.
Okay, we'll take one. How much?
And you'll want that signed?
Um, yes, right.
What, this one just now?
Oh, no, your television show.
It was really something.
I don't, yeah, I don't talk it's a shame...
about that.
Claire, you said?
She's our daughter.
Mm.
Oh.
She's, um...
why we're here.
That's why we came tonight.
We were wondering if we might
be able to talk with you
About Claire.
No.
It has been...
a very long day.
I just...
I need to sleep in my...
hotel room.
At this hotel.
We believe she's in a
very dangerous situation.
Nothing has been able to get
through to her.
Dr. Roth, people like you
don't have ads in the
Yellow pages.
We do not know
where else to turn.
To be perfectly honest,
anything I would say
Would be a half-assed version
of something on a page in that
Book in your hand, because
I just do not give a sh*t
Anymore.
Good luck with everything.
We just want our daughter back.
God damn it...
that's a notice.
Excuse me?
What are you talking about?
Is this a court document?
Am I being served?
my employer and
Yourself.
Putting it in writing simply
ensures that there's no
Confusion.
What do you mean
your "employer?"
Who's your employer?
A Mr. Terry.
Terry?
Terry has been my
manager for ten years.
Have we met?
W-Why have I never
met you before?
I like to think that I handle
matters that require a special
Sort of attention.
Now, I don't carry a gun.
Do you want to know why?
Because I don't need one.
Okay.
I've also been asked to tell
you that terry's dropped you
As a client.
That's also in the document.
Is this about the book?
