Unsane Page #4

when I was in Boston.

There was this guy who...

Shh.

There was this guy...

He was kind of stalking me.

What do you mean,

kind of stalking you?

Mom, he got himself a job.

He got himself a job

at the facility.

He's there,

in the hospital with you?

Yeah.

Have you told the doctors?

Have they called the police?

Mom, no one f***ing believes me.

Sorry. I'm... I'm...

I'm... They drug me

and they tie me to a bed.

And I'm here for seven days,

and no one's helping me.

Oh, my God! Sawyer!

You know I'd never

bother you with this

if I could find a way out,

but I need help.

What's the name

of that hospital?

Uh, Highland Creek.

It's, um...

It's off Highway 90.

I don't know the exact address.

Mom, I've gotta go.

I love you.

Rain check on the blow job?

I wish I could go one day

without hearing that.

I want to see my daughter!

Get her out here now!

I'm not leaving, and I'm

only going to get louder,

so you probably

should do something!

She didn't know

what she was signing.

I want her released immediately.

She's coming home with me.

Mrs. Valentini,

I understand your concern,

but right now this is

the best place for Sawyer.

Stuck in a hospital

with her stalker

is the best place for her?

Repeat that.

I think you need to talk

to Administration.

Highland Creek is

a very ethical organization,

Mrs. Valentini.

The decision regarding

Sawyer's admission

was made by an attending

psychiatrist

in consultation with members

of our clinical treatment team.

Are you going to release her?

Sawyer is absolutely free

to leave

once we're convinced that she

no longer poses a clear threat

to herself and others.

She doesn't.

You only made her think she does

so you could

describe her as suicidal

on your insurance claim.

Let's focus

on the positive work

we do here at Highland Creek.

I have letters and e-mails

and phone messages,

all attesting to the ways

we've turned patients' lives

around.

I'd be happy

to share some with you.

I'm calling a lawyer.

You're quite within your rights.

As am I to contact our team.

But...

is that really

in Sawyer's best interests?

No, seriously.

I'm concerned that coming off

as frivolously litigious

might adversely affect Sawyer's

current employment situation.

She hasn't been

in that job for long.

And it might make

potential future employers

apprehensive.

Are we willing to risk

your daughter's future?

Can I at least see her?

I mean, if I could

just see for myself

that she's all right.

This place does

have visiting hours,

doesn't it?

Could I at least have one visit?

Of course.

You've arrived just

at the end of visiting hours,

but I can give you 20 minutes.

So this is what it takes

to get you to call

and ask for help.

I'm sorry, Mom.

You don't have to apologize.

Yes, I do.

I should have told you

about all this.

Should have told you

about Strine,

the real reason I moved.

Is he here now?

'Cause I'll haul him out

of here myself.

No. He works

the night shift.

No visitors at night.

Stalker logic.

I'm getting you out.

That idiot doctor and

that b*tch of an administrator

can't stop me.

I'll go to the police,

to the FBI.

I'll hire

the most expensive lawyer

in the world.

Whatever it takes,

you're coming home

with me.

Now, how are you otherwise?

You look tired.

I'd love to just be tired.

Mom, I'm scared.

What else can I do for you?

What's with these clothes?

Unacceptable.

They're probably not

even laundered properly.

I'll bring you

some of mine.

I always pack too much.

Hey. Listen to me.

I am getting you out.

You are coming back home.

And this man, this stalker

is done harassing you.

I just need one thing

from you, Sawyer.

This.

You and me talking.

Tell me the truth.

No more walls.

You've been building walls

since...

Dad. Yeah.

Yeah, that was hard,

but, uh, this is different, Mom.

I promise.

You're a tough kid.

You always have been.

But... I'm your mother.

Let me help you.

So, how do I reach you in here?

Well, my phone privileges

have been suspended,

but that guy's phone

I called you from... Nate?

Call him, and he'll find me.

Or I'll catch up with you.

Where are you staying?

I'm at the Lux Star Inn

down the road

just two minutes.

I will mobilize the troops

and I'll be back

in a couple of hours

with fresh clothes

and an army of cops and lawyers.

Hang in there, sweetheart.

Cavalry's coming.

I understand,

Mrs. Valentini.

But there's nothing we can do

unless you have proof that

a crime's been committed.

I'm sorry.

Pennsylvania state law mandates

that a patient can only be held

on involuntary commitment

for seven days

without a court order.

And, look, they're not

going to go to the hassle

of getting a court order

after her insurance

stops paying.

Is it inconvenient?

Sure.

Should something be done

to stop it happening?

Absolutely.

As your lawyer, is it

my priority getting Sawyer

back into your care?

It's number one.

Keep me in the loop

about the situation.

If you think there's

legal cause to intercede,

I'll get right on it.

Hello?

Did you just hang up on me?

Okay, everybody.

Turn around.

What are you doing here?

Hello, Sawyer.

Just picking up an extra shift.

Nice to see you all

during the daytime.

Violet.

Crayons. Crayons.

Where the f***...?

Where the f*** are the crayons?

The f***...

Where's... Where...?

Where are the f***ing...?

Where?

Where did you f***ing put them?

Where did you put them?

Where did you f***ing put them?

Where the f***...

Get out!

F***!

Where the f***...

Where the f***?

F*** you! F*** you!

F*** you! F***!

Sawyer. Sawyer.

Sawyer, you need to calm down.

Calm down, Sawyer.

Calm down. Calm down.

No.

Maintenance!

What the f***?

I didn't call maintenance.

W-We're checking

all the AC units, ma'am.

Uh, there was a critical fault

in the wiring in one

of the other rooms.

Nearly started

an electrical fire.

Just to be safe.

Thank you.

This will just take a minute.

We had an issue

with the Valentini girl.

She got a megadose

of methylphenidate

this morning

instead of her

risperidone and lithium.

My Lord.

I'm still not sure

how it happened.

Everybody's

so overworked around here.

I'm sure an oversight

is bound to happen

every now and again.

Is she okay?

Better now.

But it can't happen again.

Double-check the meds

against Dr. Hawthorne's list

for each and every patient.

Of course. Understood.

Something like this

happens again,

we could all lose our jobs.

Nurse, I won't let you down.

This... This job

means the world to me.

I know.

Your work ethic

is unreal.

You're here day and night.

We could use more like you.

You're a gift from God, George.

Yeah. Just trying to make sure

all these folks get the help

that they deserve.

Hey.

So, uh...

I think you broke the TV.

No.

God, I didn't mean to.

I love TV.

I must be insane.

Oh, no, no.

You're not insane.

I know the difference

between people who are
