In the wake of

The much anticipated

book, "fractured,"

By the acclaimed

Dr. Jason Ballard

Has shattered previous studies

In the field of psychoanalysis.

If anyone can reach her,

it's Dr. Ballard.

He's highly skilled

in cases of this nature.

Police still have no

leads at this hour in the hunt

Tension is rising in this

normally sleepy neighborhood

As police discover

a new crime scene.

In a surprise move, Detroit

P.D. Has assigned detective

James Harding as lead

investigator in the case.

Harding's troubled history

has been well documented.

I'm close.

I'm real close.

I need to redeem myself.

Police have arrived on

scene and are scouring the area,

Going door to door

searching for clues.

In a shocking turn of events,

police now believe witness,

May Oster, could be

withholding information

Related to the series...

That may hold the key to

the killer's identity.

Crisis, returning a patient...

Miss, hi.

I'm, uh, I'm looking

for a Dr. Ballard.

Upstairs.

Thank you.

Upstairs.

I had him on the lithium.

He's having a weird

reaction to...

I think because he is

a valium addict.

I'm looking for

a Dr. Ballard.

Yes.

...have Anderson moved

if I can.

If this is about

the book signing,

Leave your home address.

I'll have my office mail you

a signed copy, okay?

It isn't.

Um, I'm detective James

Harding with the Detroit P.D.

I have a couple questions for

you about one of your patients.

Excuse me.

All right. Let's head

across the hall.

Was there anything mentioned,

anything suspicious?

Anything suspicious?

Doctor/patient conversations

are confidential.

I would need to see

a court order

Before I could really help.

Court order, all right.

Patients with extreme conditions

are confined for their own

Protection, detective.

Protection.

They suffer from

a multitude of conditions.

I would know.

Been after this one for a while

and I want some closure.

You look perturbed.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.

Nurse, will you escort detective

Harding to the seclusion room?

Yes, doctor.

And detective Harding,

please don't upset anybody.

Thank you.

They say sue

Fell off the bridge.

And you came in...

Hello.

And I didn't see.

I had no...

I'm living

In a dark story

that I can't escape.

You're late, detective.

I'm late.

You're late.

What...

What am I late for?

You're late, late, late,

For your end.

Your end.

For your end.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Have you seen this man?

Um...

the jackal knows about them.

Yep, jackal.

The jackal knows.

About them?

Mm-Hmm. Yep.

You mean there are others?

Yes.

I don't have that in here.

Who is the jackal?

You've got to get

out of here, okay?

Just leave.

Get out of here, why?

Before it happens

to you, get out.

Just go.

Before what happens?

Just go.

Calm down and it's okay.

I'm... I'm... Can you just

tell me what you know?

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

I can't.

I promise.

I can't. I can't.

He's gonna kill me.

I promise nobody's

gonna hurt you.

I'm... I'm with the police.

Okay.

She was at the apartment

when it started.

She met a man that altered

our entire existence.

Life became a dream.

You know how I said

I'll be busy later?

Yeah.

Well, I'll be busy

making you dinner.

All right.

May?

May Oster?

What time did

you see her leave the building?

May!

May!

All right, I'm coming in.

Hello?

Hi.

You okay?

Wh... Wh... What happened?

Something wrong?

Where am I?

Oh, baby, you blacked out again.

Dr. Ballard.

Yes, good.

See, things are coming

back to you.

Oh, baby.

We spoke before

Many times.

You remember Maria?

She helps us around here.

Hi.

See, she remembers you.

Thanks, baby.

And so does my wife, Barbara.

Barbara?

Mm-Hmm.

Barbara.

Blacked out again?

Yeah.

That's goblin making sure

we don't ignore him.

I don't recall speaking

to any of you.

Oh, baby, let me see

your right hand.

No more trembling.

Oh, that's great.

Ought to be fine for the night.

The night?

May?

I want to go home.

You are home.

That's preposterous.

I'm not at home.

See for yourself.

Look at this.

These are your clothes.

There's a picture of you.

And over here is something

you're very proud of.

Here's your tennis

trophy, remember?

My boyfriend.

Your boyfriend.

I need to call him.

No, baby, you've been dreaming.

That's a hallucination.

Take two of these and

everything will be great.

How did I end up here?

Well, you were disoriented when the

medics brought you to the hospital.

After conducting several tests,

It was apparent

your case is unique.

To better understand

your condition,

It was in your best interest

to bring you here

And to monitor your condition.

You've been here

for three weeks.

Three weeks?

Mm-Hmm.

Some medic...

You tried to commit suicide.

That's... That's absurd.

I'm...

it's all right.

You'll be all right now.

First day of therapy

today, okay?

Therapy?

Yeah. That's where you'll

meet all the others.

So there are more?

This...

Dr. Ballard...

do you think I'll try

to kill myself again?

That's what we're here

to find out.

Have to check on goblin.

Feeling better, may?

Um, yeah.

This is Bella.

And with the flag, that's Gina.

And this, with the book

there, is Mattie.

Okay, ladies.

May is now part of our group.

Her case only adds

to the diversity...

Dr. Ballard, why don't

you be frank

In saying that, I don't feel

too comfortable around

Fresh sickos.

Your choice is like your

taste in decorating.

It stinks.

Barbara won't like that.

Okay, we're here to break ground

in the field of psychoanalysis.

I think you're making a fool

of yourself professionally.

Don't be rude, okay?

Bizarre.

Bizarre, noted.

I only do this type of therapy on

patients that are special to me.

And we're so flattered.

May's case only helped

the group understand

The complexities and problems

that face young women.

No need for insecurity.

Not insecurity,

Dr. Ballard.

I take offense to that.

I remember when Mattie first

joined how you both reacted.

Am I right, Bella?

I'm fine with it as long as she

understands we have seniority.

On the contrary,

you all can be her peers.

That's fine, I guess.

As long as she understands

we're not gonna be friends.

Now, let's talk about a problem

that faces women these days.

During our last session,

Mattie, you said...

You said, men are thorns.

Men are the problem, period.

I blame them for my jealousy,

my insecurity, my loneliness.

The reason I masturbate so much.

I believe that stems from hate,

a result of phobia,

When negative past experience
