No.

Did you ever have reason to

suspect abuse within the family?

Nothing with the stepfather?

Highly unlikely. I mean, look,

Robert's a prominent guy.

I wouldn't go down that

road based on a hunch.

Tom Ortega told me Anna's

parents set him up for...

You went to see Tom Ortega?

That lowlife took dirty

pictures of Anna.

You should be focusing on the sessions,

not investigating in the real world.

You need to be objective, John.

There is something going on

there behind the scenes...

I need to find out what it is.

You need to consider that this job

is too big and too complex...

and that you are becoming

too personally involved.

Whatever it is, I'm gonna

find out the truth.

Do you know where you want to go?

I went through all the photos and

one of them made me feel something.

Don't tell me.

Don't corrupt the

memory, just go there.

When you're ready, close your eyes.

Let's begin... now.

My parents brought him to me.

Who?

I don't remember his name.

This old man, he played three.

He played knick-knack on my knee.

With a knick-knack paddy whack,

give a dog a bone.

This old man came rolling home.

What are you doing

over there, Anna?

Why don't you come here...

next to me.

Come here, sweetheart.

Don't be afraid.

I won't hurt you.

And coming back... now!

Anna?

Anna, can you hear me?

You're okay, you fainted.

What happened?

Can you get some water. She's okay.

Yeah, sure.

Take this.

What is it?

It's a bit of one of your mom's

sedatives. It'll help you sleep.

So, what happens now?

Now... you get better.

This is the key to the house my

parents lived in when I was born.

I always felt safe there.

So many times in my life

people have been unkind.

I can't thank you enough, John.

Will you keep this

with you at all times?

If I know you have it, then at least I

know that there's someone out there...

who's on my side.

I might not be going

to an institution...

but I still feel trapped.

Sure.

Hey! Hey!

John? What are you doing here? You should

have called, I've got dinner guests.

Why Sebastian?

Christ! She was just a child.

What's going on?

You've been drinking?

These were in Anna's memories.

Have you been in my office?

I've seen you with her, in the

library, in one of the memories.

Oh, I might have been

there once, I forgot!

What's this all about?

You said you never treated her at

the house, but you were there!

Are you trying to say I

did something to her?

Think this through, John.

Why would I ask you to take on a

case, if I was guilty of something?

Think about what it is

you're accusing me of...

then, think about who

it is you're accusing.

They wanted to hire Peter Lundgren.

You brought me in, because I

was down, and I was weak...

and I was easy to manipulate.

Right?

And you wouldn't let me see that

file until you absolutely had to.

You said they didn't want me to see

it, but you had it the whole time!

I never told you I

didn't have the file!

I said the family wanted privacy.

What about the other day? Ah?

You wanted me to drop the case.

I said that because...

Now... I know what you didn't

want me to find out.

I said that because I

was worried about you!

Oh, c'mon, John!

You've been drinking alone.

Having hallucinations for days!

You're ignoring me

again, Uncle Sebastian

Hi, sweetheart.

Sorry. John...

Don't you ever go near

Anna again! You hear me?

John!

John!

Due to Anna's early

overt sexualization...

she has a need for control...

which manifests itself in

a variety of disorders.

She has... significant

difficulty...

in forming and maintaining long-term

relationships with others.

Basically, she has developed

a protective shell...

Do you like it?

Which keeps out the pain...

and keeps out everything else.

It's great.

She interacts with the world in a completely

different way than the way we do.

Locking her up is the worst

possible thing you could do.

Thank you so much, Mr.

Washington.

Good luck.

It's not your fault, John.

This person...

they lied about everything.

But just because the lies are shocking

and they attract a lot of attention...

it doesn't necessarily

make them true.

It was very important for us to...

to check the facts and

to question the facts...

until it was evident

that I was innocent.

And once we've proven my innocence,

we went back to that proof...

over and over again, and looked

at it with a fresh set of eyes.

Because only then, were we able

to actually see the truth.

Are there any questions?

How does it feel to be designated?

That's a good question...

and I just want to thank

my constituency...

I just downloaded it.

Aren't they great? Better

than what you had before.

Hello?

Can you come over?

I need to see you, John.

Anna, look, I need to talk to...

Before it's too late!

Something terrible has

happened and I need to...

What?

Hello?

Hello?

You have reached the

Greene's residence.

Please leave a message and we'll get

back to you as soon as we can.

Hello?

Anna?

John.

Hey!

Open the door!

John, there's someone in our house!

Sh*t!

Mom? Mom?

Hello?

Wh... emergency...

Hello, can you hear me?

Sh*t.

I don't want to die!

Hey! Hey! Open the goddamn door!

911, what's your emergency?

I'm at 1103 Bayside.

I have an intruder and

a serious assault.

Okay, that's right.

We already have multiple units

responding to that address, sir.

Anna!

Wait!

Anna!

John.

Anna! You okay? You hurt?

Look, we're being followed...

but the police are here, you stay

with me you're gonna be safe. Okay?

I'm sorry.

What?

There's something over there!

Hey! Hey!

Over here!

Hey! Stop! Stop!

Hey! Somebody's broken into

the Greene's house!

Police!

I'm pretty su...

Stay where you are!

Stay right where you are!

Hands up, Mr. Washington!

Hands up, Mr. Washington!

You're suspected of

murder, Mr. Washington.

We found hundreds of pictures

featuring underage girls...

in your computer.

She set me up.

A 16 year-old girl.

Look. We know the parents were constantly

threatening to send the girl to an institution...

and that you... strongly

disagreed with that.

So the way I see it, you

got too close to the girl.

You drugged the parents, so

you could take her away...

but she refused to go and you end up doing

something you'd never think you were capable of.

The parents are okay?

Yeah... we found the mother's

sleeping pills in the kitchen, John.

And I'd be willing to bet that your fingerprints

are all over that prescription bottle.

We found a letter opener,

covered in blood...

in the forest, where you were.

I can explain every peace of

evidence you think you have.

We're carefully going through

the tapes of you chasing Anna.

Now obviously you disabled

a number of the cameras...

and then turned the power

off to cover your tracks.

I was locked inside the

surveillance room!

Recognize this?

Anna gave me that.

It's the key to the

surveillance room.

You panicked, needed an alibi...
