shrink is f***ing with me.
Can you get off now?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Taylor.
You've been restricted.
By who?
By Dr. Banks?
He's not my doctor anymore.
He attacked me. He's sick.
MAN:
Miss Taylor,you need to step back.
EMILY:
Get off the phone.Get off the phone!
Miss Taylor, you need to relax.
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
Get me Dr. Siebert!
This is bullshit!
I shouldn't even be here! I'm not sick!
Get me Dr. Siebert! No! No!
Relax! Relax!
No, I don't want it!
I don't want it!
Yes. Dr. Siebert?
Dr. Banks.
I've been thinking about our last conversation.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
Yes.
An idea occurred to me.
Mmm-hmm.
Maybe I am a genius.
Hello there! Best we don't
talk inside, right?
Talk about what?
Uh, she wants to go before
the judge this week.
And what is she going to say?
(SIGHS) Well, it depends.
She could tell a long, sordid
story about her former shrink.
Suggest the SEC investigate.
The whole story.
That would make national
coverage, wouldn't it?
And what do you get out of it?
Oh, I don't know.
Peace of mind. Like
I said, it depends.
No.
(SOFTLY) No, no.
This will be the last time we speak.
Okay?
You get her released, and we
go back to being strangers.
Unless, of course, you want
EMILY:
No.The staff told me you were
having a difficult time.
So, I've added medication
that will help.
(SCOFFS)
If I tell you the truth,
do I have to take the pills?
I won't be able to tell the
truth if I take any more pills.
(INAUDIBLE)
EMILY:
Imagine everythingyou ever wanted
shows up one day and
calls itself your life.
And then, just when you
start to believe in it...
Gone. And suddenly,
it gets
very hard to imagine a future.
That's depression, right?
So I went to
see Dr. Siebert.
About disappointment
and Mommy and Daddy.
And I told her about Martin.
And she told me that her
marriage with her husband
had never been anything
but a meeting of minds.
wander after a while.
He had traded her in for a
younger model, so she was
alone and lonely.
It didn't take much.
I think she always liked girls,
she liked as much as me.
She taught me how to be depressed.
What drugs had which side effects.
What symptoms went
with what diagnosis.
And I taught her everything Martin
ever told me about
derivatives and deals.
The trades were in her name.
So I forgave Martin.
I went to visit on the weekends
and told him that
I would wait for him.
What do you doctors call faking?
"Malingering"?
Such a funny word.
Girls learn to fake things
at a very early age.
Probably around the same time
that boys are learning to lie.
We needed everyone to see how much
I wanted it to work out with us.
How much I loved my husband.
And how terribly depressed I was.
BANKS'. When did you
decide to kill him?
EMILY:
It's not a decisionyou make just once.
You make it over and over again,
every time you look at your life
and you see the position you're
in and who put you there.
And it all leads back to him.
Each and every f***ing
problem, every disappointment.
And you think to yourself,
"Maybe if he just goes away,
it'll all get better. "
Everything would have
worked out perfectly
if you had just disappeared
after the trial
like you were supposed to.
BANKS". Why me?
Was it because of Alison Finn?
That was just a happy coincidence.
A convenient distraction.
It didn't have to be you.
It could have been you or anyone else
who walked into my room
with a prescription pad.
We didn't go looking for you,
we just looked at the world.
I read somewhere that
there's a difference
between tears of joy
and tears of rage.
Is that true?
It's in the chemistry, but
you can't tell by looking
they all just look like tears.
(MUFFLED SCREAMING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Hello? Hello, I think I need help!
I think my...
My husband's bleeding and I think he's...
I think he's been stabbed
and he's dead. He's dead,
I think he's dead.
I think he's dead!
You need to send someone!
Please!
You never did take the Paxil, did you?
No.
Or the Zoloft.
No.
Only the Ablixa.
Didn't really do anything for me.
So, when did she start paying you?
She always knew you'd
turn on her someday
like you did with Martin.
Past behavior is the best
predictor of future behavior.
That's what she said about you.
And how long do you two
plan on keeping me here?
Why would we ever let you leave?
Because
maybe there's a better deal.
BANKS". Over the course of her
confinement, I've come to the conclusion
with a reasonable degree
of medical certainty
mentally ill or dangerous
at this time. I believe
with the proper treatment
she is not a threat
to herself or others.
In my opinion,
she's ready to move onto
the next phase of rehabilitation
with ongoing supervision, as outlined
in the outpatient order of conditions.
The risk of relapse back into a
dangerous mental state is low.
I've submitted to the court the
conditions under which I believe
the order of confinement
may be rescinded.
And do you, Ms. Taylor,
understand
that if you violate the
terms of your release,
I will have to issue a new
order of confinement?
Yes, Your Honor.
MAN:
I text herlike 20 times a day.
SIEBERT:
Zach, you're beginningto see a pattern, right?
Everyone leaves. It's not
a pattern, it's a fact.
And how does this connect
to you being adopted?
And now I'm making it happen.
You know, I get scared that
people will leave and then
I, uh, (CLEARS THROAT)
end up making them leave.
Excuse me, Dr. Siebert,
Uh, I'm sorry, Zach,
this is an emergency.
We're gonna have to
pick this up next time.
You didn't tell Banks
anything, did you?
Of course not.
How much did you have to
pay him to get me out?
It doesn't matter. You're out.
It's taken care of.
You didn't leave me much choice.
What did you do with
the rest of the money?
Two accounts.
Mine's in Dubai,
yours is in Grand Cayman.
(MOANING) God.
Are you sure you didn't
tell him anything else?
Yes, I'm sure.
Because there are SEC violations.
Conspiracy to commit murder.
I'm exposed here.
Yes, you are.
And I'm vulnerable.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, God, I missed you.
You taught me to be
such a sad, sad girl.
Do I look sad now?
Do you remember the first time?
Yeah.
Do you remember how wet I made you?
Oh, yeah.
Do you want to do that again?
Yeah.
What the f*** is that?
You didn't leave me much choice.
Oh, my God.
Dr. Siebert,
you're under arrest.
You're being charged
with conspiracy to
commit murder and securities fraud.
BANKS:
... within the next 10 minutes.I think she's just arrived.
Yeah, she's here.
And thank you.
Here I am.
Cured at last.
You're late.
How long do I have to stay?
(SIGHING)
I'm going to put you
on some medication.
(LAUGHING) What?
This is for Thorazine.
