darkness and into the light.

Dear God, take her out of the

darkness and into the light.

Shanti...

are you okay?

- F***!

- Suzanne.

Hey, hey, will you just stop?

What? What?

What?

"How are you feeling,

physically?"

Like sh*t.

"How are you feeling emotionally

towards the doctor

and the process?"

Like sh*t.

Yeah? Hello?

I heard you were

out of the infirmary,

but I can come back later.

No. It's okay.

I was just...

I don't even know what

to say to it anyway.

What's up?

I just... I just wanted

to say that...

I believe you.

You're the only one.

Yeah? I wish I could

actually do something for you.

- You could, but...

- What?

I can't ask you to.

What?

No. It's not fair to you.

Just tell me, and I'll decide.

This... it's not working.

I'm not getting better like

this, and I need something.

Okay, what?

I don't know any

other way to control it.

I can't do that.

Carson, hey...

It's... it's okay.

It's okay.

Everything will be okay,

all right?

Okay.

Okay?

All right.

Carson.

Carson, what are you doing?

Carson, stop.

- You want to f*** her?

- What?

- You want to f*** her?

- Carson, knock it off.

F***!

F***! F***!

- What happened?

- My God! Are you kidding?

- What happened to your hand?

- Carson did this.

- That is f***ing disgusting.

- Yeah.

Did she have a knife or,

like a carrot peeler?

She, like, bit my finger.

We need to tell someone.

We need to get her

some kind of real help.

This girl's freaking out.

- We should be filming.

- What, tonight?

- Yes.

- But it's almost midnight.

I don't care.

You're gonna wake everybody up.

I don't care, Tim.

You heard what Dale said.

Go with the possession

or "get the goods."

Then we'll decide

if she needs a priest

or a straitjacket or what.

Does anyone have

a problem with that?

Shh. Keep it quiet.

Carson?

Carson?

Carson?

F***!

- Where the f*** is she?

- I don't know.

- My God.

- Come on.

That's her!

Where is she?

Hey, you guys see that?

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

F***.

Look, she's not out here.

- We just need to get to...

- Just hold up... shh.

Did you hear that?

- Carson!

- Shh!

She's not out here.

I want to go back.

Listen.

This way.

Come on, come on, come on.

Suzanne, Suzanne,

stay there, stay there!

No!

Where are they going?

- Where did they come from?!

- I don't know!

- There's lights over here!

- Follow them.

- Tim!

- Tim, go, Tim, go!

My God!

Carson, Carson, Carson!

Hey.

Was that the nurse running away?

Carson, can you describe

what happened to you tonight?

- What happened?

- They were trying to help me.

Who was trying to help you?

Will you back off?

Jason, who were those

people running away?

- What were they doing to you?

- I'm not gonna tell you.

Who are those people

running away?

Will you help me?

Get over here and...

Well, I just had to fire

my head nurse.

Hope you got that

on your cameras.

Look, I'm...

I'm recommending

Carson for transfer

to a psychiatric hospital.

So you're giving up,

in other words?

We're not equipped

to deal with a case...

So get equipped!

Bring in more staff!

God knows you get paid enough!

Hey, I handle five addicts pro

bono for every one of these...

Bullshit! Just spare me!

We're all whores here,

all right?

This girl is my responsibility!

She is seriously ill, and you

people have been covering it up.

- You're putting her life...

- F***ing condescending!

In danger!

You were the only reason

she has a chance!

Well, I'm making the medical

decisions here.

Okay? Now, I've ordered

a full psych eval tomorrow.

And I fully expect

that I am going to be

recommending Carson

for transfer.

Great.

And I will recommend to Dale

that we use another

facility in the future.

Cut the f***ing cameras!

- Where are you going?

- I got to run some errands.

Can you, cover for me, please?

Where are you going? You

going to get more holy water?

Tim, they're gonna

institutionalize her.

Yeah?

Do you realize

what's gonna happen

if they put her in a

psychiatric institution, man?

She's not crazy!

If she's not crazy,

they'll let her out.

Bullshit!

They'll lock her up

and throw away the key.

Will you stop trying

to save this girl, you dumba...

Take a deep breath, please.

Good. One more.

Okay, thank you.

So, how are you feeling

today physically?

I'm feeling better.

I mean,

I feel that the worst part

of the withdrawal is over, so...

Good.

Have you been feeling depressed,

anything like that?

We spoke, previously about

being possessed by a demon.

I guess it was like a metaphor

for that bad part of me that

I felt that I couldn't control.

Okay, well, let's take

your blood pressure.

I-I was checked earlier.

- It was fine.

- It's okay.

We need to take it again.

It's part of the exam.

- What's this?

- I...

God, I hate this.

This is the worst

part of my job.

I'm gonna have to expel you.

It was the only way.

It is never the only way.

You knew the rules when

you came into Hope Center!

Let's go pack your bags

and call your parents.

Wait. She didn't do it.

I did it.

What?

It was when she was unconscious.

Okay?

You brought drugs

into my facility?

Look, John, look, it's

the only way to keep her...

You sh*t!

Out!

Okay, I'm firing him.

He's fired. It's over.

- I realize what he did...

- It doesn't matter, Suzanne.

- Was totally out of line!

- Look, this is not just my job.

- This is not my career.

- I know. I get it, I get it!

But, John,

let's work something out!

It's over!

Hey, you hired him.

Shut the f*** up, Tim.

Get that goddamn camera

out of our face!

What is your reaction

to what's happened here today?

Reaction?

You want a f***ing reaction?!

I'll give you

a f***ing reaction!

This is my reaction!

You people are looking

at a major lawsuit here!

It's Monday.

From what I can tell,

she still hasn't left the house.

I... I keep

thinking about the way

that Carson attacked

her friend at the intervention.

There's definitely...

definitely something

weird about that.

Wednesday night.

Nothing.

Hello?

Beth, it's Jason from the show.

I need to check in on Carson.

What do you want?

Where's Carson?

She can't talk to you.

Look, what you're doing

is not safe.

You've got her

locked up out there.

She hasn't left

the house in a week.

You don't know that.

I've been watching the house.

I'm gonna hang up

and call the police.

No, no!

Listen, Beth!

I have not done

anything wrong, okay?

Look, I just want to help her.

Wait. Hold on.

Beth, what is it?

Beth, what is that?

F***!

- Sorry!

- Sorry!

Beth?

Beth, are you there?

Sh*t.

F***.

Um, excuse me?

Trespass much?

Hi. Yeah, McKee.

I just needed

to interview you again.

Producer said they needed

a little more material on you.

Is that okay?

Should I change or something?

No. You look great.

The blue is great

with your eyes.

Thanks.

They're hazel.

Great.

So, you told me before

that Carson got weird,

and so you stopped

hanging out with her, right?
