Mindscape Page #3

I couldn't help her.

I tried to keep her in the house,

but you can't lock someone up...

just because of your own fears.

I had a great time.

Me, too.

I hope I didn't talk too much.

Oh, you did...

but I liked it.

Thank you.

So, you're not even gonna try

to come up, so I can say no?

Uh...

I gotta go.

Safe home.

It's not your fault, John!

It's not your fault, John!

I'm telling you, Sebastian,

I saw her last night.

That's impossible.

She's under lock and key,

never allowed to leave her room.

I know, but I... I know what I saw.

Do you, John?

Is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

We may have one, because

there are blind spots.

What's happened?

Anna pushed Judith down the stairs.

Judith is in the hospital

with multiple fractures.

Look at this.

Oh, my god!

There's no other angle at

the top of the stairs?

Blind spot.

On Monday, Anna will be

confined to an institution...

that can properly

address her needs.

Fortunately, as a family friend, Judith

will not be pressing any charges.

I didn't do it, John.

Then why would Judith say you did?

Judith always sneaks

back in late at night.

Mom's knocked-out on sleeping pills,

and that's when they have sex.

Who? Robert and Judith?

He always sleeps with the good

looking help. Just ask Jaime.

I mean, you saw what she was doing

with Robert in the library.

I don't believe you.

When she first came here,

Judith had tried to make friends with me.

And she was all like,

"I have no luck with men".

Well, my stepfather moved right in.

You know, maybe... maybe they

had a fight, it got violent...

and now they're trying to cover it

up by blaming it on the sick girl.

Or maybe Robert just

cold-bloodedly pushed her, okay?

This is exactly the kind of thing

he's been hoping for to lock me up.

Oh, c'mon, Anna.

Open your eyes, John!

My mother's family is one

of the richest in America.

And Robert's on an allowance.

If I die, the money goes to a

charitable trust and he gets zilch.

But if I'm committed...

I get the money,

but I have no rights.

Robert controls every penny.

And I'm sure Judith knows this.

Maybe he was afraid that she was gonna tell

you and that you'd find out his secret plans.

And I'm sure he told you, only moments ago,

that they send me to an institution on Monday.

Am I right?

Please, John, you have to help

me prove that I'm innocent.

You're the only person

they're gonna trust.

I... I can't get send away to a

mental institution.

I won't survive that.

I know... I know I'm different,

not like other girls...

but doesn't mean I'm a murderer.

I don't even... I don't even think of doing

half the things they're accusing me of!

Please, John!

Help me figure out what the

hell's going on with me.

I mean, you're all I have.

John.

How do you feel?

Pretty out of it.

Judith, did you see...

Anna push you down the stairs?

Are you here for Anna or for me?

I'm here for you.

But I need to know what happened.

I know I went to

bring her some food.

I thought I locked the door.

Why don't you go to my memory?

Ah... doesn't work like that.

How do you know it wasn't Robert?

Robert?

Judith, I know.

Know what?

I know about you and Robert.

Did he hit on me?

Whatever, doesn't matter.

There's nothing going on

between me and Robert.

Look, I...

I hope you get better soon.

I can't believe that

Anna would hurt Judith.

Can you help my daughter, John?

I believe I can, Mrs. Greene.

I can take her to her traumatic memories,

help her understand her behavior.

And I wanna find out the truth.

My husband wants to send her to

a professional care facility.

I don't want that, but he's already

paid the registration fee...

and they're expecting

her in a week.

As soon as I see that file, I'll

know what I should be looking for.

I'll have Sebastian's assistant

send it to you right away.

Sebastian has it?

You'll see why the family didn't

want you to see the file.

It's strong stuff, John.

You said this was a simple case.

And it should have been, John.

Maybe you're not

ready to come back.

Look... they're gonna put Anna

in an institution.

If you'd sent me the file earlier,

maybe I could have prevented all this.

Are you sure you want to

continue with the case?

I'm Anna's best hope right now.

I'll call you in a couple of days.

Do you know why you're here, Anna?

That's pretty obvious.

For just one day, can we talk

about something other than me?

What made you try to kill yourself?

Red...

it's such a dark, rich color.

Particular shade,

it's hard to come by.

Blood... it's red.

It's kind of beautiful.

Can you tell me about your

relationship with your parents?

My mother's trying harder, I suppose,

but it's still pretty pathetic.

Her heart's like... one of those fancy

ice sculptures they have at parties.

Do you really want to know the answer?

Please.

It's my parents who

are crazy... not me.

Did you have feelings for your teacher?

Mr. Tatum?

That school was depressing.

He was nice.

Did he take pictures of you?

Would you mind if I

take a picture of you?

Yes.

What kind of pictures?

Artistic photos.

It was like a Jackson

Pollock painting...

where the blood sprayed

across the floor.

I can still see the exact

pattern when I close my eyes.

Do you want to die, Anna?

Don't we all die in the end?

It's kind of a freedom.

There are other ways to be free.

Not if you're not

allowed to have it.

Then what do you do?

Will you lift your chin a bit?

How do you feel when you draw?

Like the whole world disappears.

Like nothing else matters.

All right, finished.

Can I see it?

Not yet.

Can I have your bag?

Promise me you'll look

at it when you get home?

I promise.

Are we even now?

Can we start the session?

Yeah, we can.

Mousey?

It's extremely dangerous.

My real name is Megan Scanlon.

Had sex with your teacher?

Who you raping, b*tch?

Hi, I'm Mousey.

Mousey?

That's really your name?

It's what the people here call me.

My real name is

Megan, Megan Scanlon.

So Susan Merricks your roommate.

What's she really like?

I heard she was training for the

Olympics, had a nervous breakdown...

beat up a horse or something.

Oh, great!

Frigid and Mousey are here.

Look, just because I've been

assigned to watch over you...

doesn't mean you have to be in

the room all the time, Frigid.

Name's Anna.

Capital A, N, N, A.

Leave.

Now.

Or maybe the reason you won't go is

because you wanna watch me changing.

Right, Frigid?

What are you doing?

No! No! No! Please don't!

No! No! No! Stop!

Cameras will be locked up, and can only

be signed out for a day at a time.

The chemicals you will be

using could be harmful...

and any misuses, however slight,

will end your art privileges.

Now, who here has experience

with the art of photography?

Anna.

Someone broke into the principal's

house and stole all the alcohol.

Do you know who might

have done this?

House Mother, you're

talking to someone...

who takes the harmful effects
