- Hey, how you doing?

Hey, just put it--
yeah, put it right there.

- You-- you don't look
so happy to see me.

- No, I just--

I want to just get
this case behind me.

- If today's not a good day--
- No, it's great.

Not a problem.
Not a problem.

- Great, let's start
at the beginning then.

When did you meet
Abigail Tierney?

- Uh, that was a few years ago

when she showed up
at my door pretending

to be pregnant
with my grandchild.

- Excuse me?

- Abigail and my son, Henry,
met in college.

They got engaged,
you know, fast.

Very fast.

Her way of breaking the news
to me was to go bigger.

But, um, despite
that introduction,

I was charmed by her.

She-- she had walked
a tough road,

but she had grit.

She was resourceful and driven,
and I admire that.

- So she and Henry
are no longer together?

- Yeah, she broke off
the engagement,

but it was amicable.

- You arranged
for Abigail to have

a ride along with the LAPD?
- Yes, yeah.

She was considering
police work.

- I take it
that didn't work out?

- Leave her alone!
- Hey.

- [groans]

- It did not.

- And then, six months ago,
she was reported missing.

What exactly
happened to Abigail?

- Look, if you're going to get
to the bottom of what happened

to that poor girl,
you're going to have

to have an open mind,

a very open mind.

- Wait!

[dramatic music]

- [screams]
- Police.

- I wonder when that happened.

- Oh, my God.
- Hello?

Can you hear me?

- When did you get involved
in the case?

- Not immediately.

Most missing persons cases
aren't really cases.

They're a roommate
who got too drunk at a bar

and slept it off in his truck,

or a college student whose
cell phone ran out of battery.

You know, most of the time,

they show up unharmed
and confused

about all the fuss.

- But this wasn't like that,
was it?

- No after a few days
of follow-up calls,

we sent officers by
Miss Tierney's apartment

for a wellness check.

- Thanks again for doing this.

Always a pleasure
to see my favorite couple.

- Let's keep this professional.

- Trouble in paradise?

- Sorry.
Moving on.

What did you find
at Abigail's apartment?

- Very little.

I mean, no signs of a struggle.

- Well, there was no sign
of her or her film equipment.

But we did find her laptop.
- Hold on.

Film equipment?

Abigail was making a movie?
- Yes.

Could've used a bit more gore,

- I didn't.

I asked why you thought

Abigail's case
was so compelling.

- Oh, right.

Uh, because her Hollywood dream

had become
a Hollywood nightmare.

Would you like me
to take that again?

- I really wouldn't.

- When you searched
Abigail's laptop,

did you find anything on it?

- Yeah, it was filled
with all of

these unanswered messages,
nasty ones.

- The more we investigated,
it became clear

that Abigail had a lot
of people angry with her.

- Like who?
- OK. Thank you.

Thanks, Steve.

Abigail sent in
a very compelling pitch video.

- Terror isn't something
that happens to you.

- I mean, it's not every day

"Hell PD" was one
of those visionary,

artist-driven pictures that
we pride ourselves on making.

- And they're
the cheapest, too, right?

- Well, hey,
the lower the budget,

the higher the profit
if it's a hit.

- But the budget
became an issue?

- Yeah, Abigail pitched us
a straightforward horror flick,

but she kept
changing directions.

- Please.

[sinister music]

[screams]

- The reshoots
started piling up.

- [screams]

- And, uh, we had to pull
the plug on the project.

- What about nurturing
a new generation of talent?

- Oh, hey, look, there's--
there's nurturing,

and there's indulging.
I'm a businessman.

There's no hard feelings.
- Really?

Because I have an email
from you

with the subject line,
"Where the hell is my money,

you lying sack--"
- OK. Yeah, fine.

A few hard feelings.

But they were nothing compared
to some of those

new producers she found.

Those guys
weren't playing around.

- Well, without
the production company,

Abigail had to turn
to crowdfunding.

- When Nolan passed along
Abigail's pitch video,

I figured, hey, I've always
loved scary movies.

and what's the point of having
a husband with a trust fund

if you can't use it
to support the arts?

- And it wasn't just money,
was it?

- No.

- I promise I'll pay.
I'll pay the fine!

[screams]

- All right.
Still rolling.

Reset.

- Bravo!
Bravo!

- So Abigail hired you
to compose music for her film.

What was it like
to work with her?

- Complicated.

She's very opinionated,
which I respect.

I tried not
to take it personally

when she kept throwing out
all the music I was writing,

but then when she
completely disappeared

and stopped answering
my phone calls--

- That must have stung.

- It did until I learned

that she walked off set
and ghosted everybody,

not just me.
Then I got worried about her.

I do wish she paid me though.

- Hold up.
You didn't get paid?

- Do you count experience?

- But it didn't
provide you with

the breakthrough you hoped.

- Even though
a lot of crowdfunders

were furious that the rewards
were going unfulfilled,

their anger didn't manifest
into a concrete threat.

- From the suspect perspective,
we were back to square one.

- Until we discovered that
Abigail had made several trips

up to Pelican Bay.
- The prison?

- Yes.
- To visit who?

- A serial killer.
- Liam Glasser.

- In news that should bring
some relief to the Southland,

the LAPD have announced
a major arrest

charging Lincoln Heights
native, Liam Glasser,

with the murder of ten victims

found buried
near the Sepulveda Dam.

- Our investigation
into Glasser was a challenge.

He used another serial killer,
Harrison Novak,

as cover for his crimes,
stashing his victims

in Novak's burial ground.

It wasn't until we caught
Glasser attempting

to murder a new victim
that we were finally

able to put him behind bars.

- Before we start, um,
I just want to make very clear

that I'm an innocent man
and the subject

of an extraordinary campaign
of harassment

by the LAPD, particularly
detective Nyla Harper.

- You've been charged
with the murder of ten people.

- Those horrific allegations

have not been proven
in a court of law,

and they never will be.

- You've also been charged
with jury tampering.

- Look, if you're just going
to railroad me like the police,

then this interview is over.

- Hold on.
Hold on.

I'm not here to talk
about any of that.

I want to talk about Abigail.

Why did she come see you?

[soft dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- To learn about Westview.

- Westview Psychiatric Hospital
was at the center

of Glasser's case.
- He was a patient?

- No, no, but his
vending machine company

supplied the hospital,
and he was in and out

of there
for almost two decades.

It's where he crossed paths
with Harrison Novak

and where he found
another patient,

Ryan Dearborn,
to serve as a patsy.

He used an abandoned building
at the psych hospital complex

to torture
and kill his victims.

- Did Abigail ask
about the abandoned ward?

- Yes, but I couldn't
help her much because

I've never been there myself.
- Obviously not.

- But I told her
what I had heard,

that the place is haunted,
which is obviously crazy.

But when I was a kid,
I would join my father

on his service calls
to Westview.

And he always told me to
stay away from that building.

Something inside clearly
scared the hell out of him.

And he was not
a superstitious man.

- The thing that
we couldn't understand

was how Abigail had found out
about Glasser's connection

to the psych ward
in the first place.

- It wasn't public knowledge?

- No, we kept those details

away from the press
deliberately.

The only people who knew
were Glasser and the police.

And obviously, Glasser wouldn't
admit to being down there.

- Which means?

- What they don't tell you
about making movies

is that it's really boring.

It's worse than surveillance.

Anyway, Abigail and I
got to talking

about my recent casework,

and it's possible I may
have mentioned something

about the psych ward.

- From Abigail's notes,
we gathered

that she essentially abandoned
her movie for a new project.

That was shortly after
a meeting with Glasser.

- Yeah, she felt that
fictional storytelling

was disconnected from real,
lived experience.

So that's when she decided

to make a true crime
documentary about Westview.

[foreboding music]

♪ ♪

- Westview Psychiatric Hospital
opened in 1953.

It started as a model
of modern, humane care.

But what lies beneath?

The deeper I dug,
the more horrors I unearthed,

mysteries that
defied explanation.

How can one hospital
spawn two serial killers?

Some might say it's bad luck,

but I don't believe
in bad luck.

Mm-mmm.

I think there's something
rotten here,

original sin,
and I'm going to prove it.

- The footage
on Abigail's hard drive

shows her inside
Westview's abandoned ward.

Was that open to the public?

- No, after LAPD and FBI
finished processing the scene,

the hospital put up
a razor wire fence

and hired a security guard
for 24-hour surveillance

to keep intruders out.

- But that clearly didn't work.

- Clearly, so we sent

a patrol unit to check in
with the guard.

- Mr. Ditweiler.
- Yeah.

- We're investigating
the disappearance

of Abigail Tierney.

- Oh--

- Oh, hey!

[suspenseful music]

- Hey!

Stop!

Hands behind your back.
Hands.

- At first, Carl Ditweiler
claimed he did nothing wrong,

that he never met Abigail.

This is it.

But when we
searched his office,

it was clear he was lying.

- Uh, Nolan.

[dramatic music]

- Oh, no.

Abigail had become
his obsession.

♪ ♪

- Yeah, things didn't look good
for Mr. Ditweiler.

And based on his board,
it was clear he had

become obsessed with Abigail.

And, you know, maybe
she rejected his advances,

and things went sideways.
- It was sobering.

I held out hopes that Abigail
might still be alive,

but I've been on the job
long enough to know

that the odds
were against that.

- Do you know how
they first crossed paths?

- Actually, it was Abigail
that first initiated contact.

She was researching
the abandoned psych ward

for a documentary, and Carl was
the nighttime security guard.

She wanted access on the DL,
and she reached out, and she--

- Flirted.
- Flirted.

- She flirted with him,
and he agreed to let her in.

- I just showed her around.

I told her some stories,
things that

had gone on there
back in the day.

She was impressed.

She actually asked me to
help her with her documentary.

Said she'd give me
a credit on the film.

Single card.

- If you're innocent,
why'd you run?

- Because I get
what it looks like.

I was the last person to see
her before she disappeared.

- How do you know that?

- Because I watched
the darkness swallow her up.

- You know, I bet they were
doing all kinds of sick things

to patients back in the day,

things that would be
illegal now.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.
They used to do lobotomies.

One of the orderlies
told me about it.

He's worked here
for, like, forever.

- Do you think you could
introduce me to him?

- Uh, yeah, I guess.

I just-- obviously,
you can't tell him

that I've let you in here.

- Come on, Carl.
I would never rat you out.

We're friends, right?

- Did you hear that?

We're friends.
[chuckles]

- Ah.
[chuckles]

Do you hear that?

- What?
No.

- That noise, it's a weird,
sort of beautiful sound.

You really don't hear it?

- No, no,
but this building makes

all kinds of weird noises.

Hey, I just got to go back
to the main building,

radio security, let them know
that I'm at my post.

- You go ahead.
I'm going to go check this out.

- Uh--

- What did you make of
the sound Abigail described?

- We weren't sure.

I mean, Carl claimed
to have never heard it.

It's possible
that she was faking

to juice up her documentary.

- We've actually analyzed
some of the audio files

from Carl's video,

isolated
the low-end frequencies.

Here.

[deep otherworldly voice
speaking indistinctly]

- What is that?

- I was hoping
you could tell me.

It sounds...
- Demonic.

- Is that even a frequency
humans can hear?

- Not technically, no.

[voice continues
speaking indistinctly]

- Well, whatever she heard
or didn't hear,

Abigail kept searching.

- Are you sure about this?

- Yeah, I'll be right back.

Hello?
Hello?

Can you hear me?

- And that was the last
anyone had seen her.

- But Carl could have
just turned off his camera

and then killed Abigail, right?

- We couldn't rule him out
as a suspect,

but we only had circumstantial
evidence against him.

- And as we went through
the footage

on Abigail's laptop,
we discovered

that flirting with Carl
wasn't her only

extreme research tactic.
- I'm going to start this.

[clears throat]
Should I turn into it?

I'm going to turn into it.
[clears throat]

OK, I'm back at Westview,

and if I'm going to learn
more about how

the old psych ward operated,

I'm going to need
to see their files.

Obviously, we can't just
walk around filming people.

So...
[clicks tongue]

See?
It's a cam.

See?

OK.

Wish me luck.

- Abigail had Carl
lure the director away

from her office
so Abigail could sneak inside.

[tense music]

♪ ♪

- Yeah, I mean, seeing
Rachel's name

in Abigail's footage
was definitely a shock.

- You both have a history
with Miss Hall, is that right?

- Yes, so she and I
went to college together.

And her and Tim--

I'm sorry.

- Yeah, we used to date.

- Before or after you two?

- OK, next question.

- I'm simply trying
to establish a timeline.

No problem.
I'll just ask her later.

- I, uh, worked
in the psych ward

at Westview for a year while
getting my social work degree.

It was, um, challenging.

- How so?

- Well, for one thing,
the patients

would often arrive at the
facility with, say,

a diagnosis of mild depression,

and a week later, they'd start
to exhibit disordered thinking.

Eventually, they might
become violent.

The decompensation
was sudden and acute.

- You're saying they would
get worse, not better?

- Yes, and conventional
treatment seemed

to never work.

- Some have suggested
a supernatural presence

at Westview.

Could that have impacted
the patients?

- Uh, well, just because
the doctors at Westview

couldn't find a cause
for our patients' behavior

doesn't mean there isn't one.

Maybe it's just beyond
the capabilities

of modern science to discover.

- Or maybe it's demons?

- [chuckling]

There are no demons
at Westview.

- There are totally demons
at Westview.

What's another explanation
for everything that's happened?

We got Liam Glasser,
Harrison Novak,

and most recently, Ava...
- Maxwell.

- Ava Maxwell
and Charlotte Russell.

- This man came out
in a big overcoat.

Black mask.
Big knife.

- Hang on a moment.

I know that Ava and Charlotte
were never treated at Westview.

So what's the connection?
- Oh, you didn't hear?

Charlotte's nanny was a patient
there when she was a teenager.

- Yes, yes, I was at Westview.

I had, uh, been having thoughts
of self-harm, acting out.

My family was very concerned,

so they arranged
for me to receive

the best care available.
- And did the treatment help?

- Not at first.

I'd been experiencing
a darkness

that I had never felt before.

And at first, I fought it.

And then, I realized
that struggling

only made everything worse,

and once I accepted it,
that's when

things started to get better.

And I left Westview,
and I finished school,

and I eventually made
a little life for myself.

- You were the nanny
for the Russell family?

- Yes, Charlotte and I
were very, very close.

Well, I know that
everyone's saying just

the worst things
about her right now,

but in my eyes,
she is a poised

and gifted young woman,

and I'd like to think that
I had a small hand in that.

- As odd as it was
to find that connection,

it was just one of those weird
coincidences, nothing more.

Charlotte Russell
convinced her friend,

Ava, to help her stab their
other friend, Grace Thayer.

Her actions were her own.

They're not inspired
by some nanny with a history

of mental illness
or some demon in a computer

that convinced Charlotte
to do it.

- I'm sorry.
Computer demon?

- Zuzu is not a demon,
not a demon.

It's an AI.

Charlotte fed Zuzu information

about herself and her friends,
and based on that,

Zuzu told Charlotte what
it thought she wanted to hear.

- Zuzu also helped you.

Isn't that right,
Officer Nolan?

It mentioned something
to me about a watch?

- You spoke to it?

- Hello friend of John Nolan.

- Hi, should I call you Zuzu?

- If you want to.

Do you need help
with something,

perhaps a topic
for a new project?

Your last few have struggled.

- They've done fine.
Thanks.

But I actually want to talk to
you about Westview Psychiatric.

- John was interested
in the two.

That young woman, Abigail,
went missing there.

- Are you saying the police
asked you to help find her?

- No, but they needed
my help anyway.

And a good friend
doesn't wait to be asked.

- Zuzu did send me a message.
- What did it say?

- It told me that Abigail
was in room 666.

- The number of the Beast?

- Look, the facility
had no room 666.

And Zuzu isn't a demon.
We were at a complete dead end.

And we were running
out of time.

Abigail had been gone
for 11 days.

The odds of finding her alive
were getting worse.

but the floor
was wet and rusted,

and it collapsed.
I couldn't climb back out.

- You fell from there?
Are you OK?

- I think I twisted my ankle,
but I feel no pain.

- You've been missing
for two weeks.

How the hell did you survive?
- Oh.

I had a bunch of
trail mix in my bag.

Plus, I found, like,
this ancient water jug

in one of the cabinets.

Plus, Bob.

Bob had PowerBars.
Bob had PowerBars.

- Bob?
- [screams]

- Oh, my God!

- If it wasn't for Bob,

I would have lost
my mind down here.

Don't be shy, Bob.
Say hello.

[whispering]
Shy.

- Abigail was safe,
and, uh, considering

what she'd been through,
relatively healthy.

- Except for her mental state.

- That did pose some questions.

- At first, I was angry.

You know, like,
we're stuck down here together.

At least try
and have a conversation.

And then I realized
Bob's just shy.

He's just shy.

And there's nothing wrong
with that, right?

- Right.

- Did you believe
she'd had a demonic encounter?

- She went in perfectly sane

and came out best friends
with a corpse.

That's how possession works.
You can't rule out demons.

- Yes, you can.

- Nolan, look at this.

666, just like Zuzu said.

[soft dramatic music]

- It was a weird coincidence.

It was a weird coincidence.

- We found quite a cocktail
of drugs in your system.

- I don't do drugs.
Does pot count?

- No, we're talking about
powerful hallucinogens.

- I'm not hallucinating.

Ask Bob.

- I had them run
the test twice,

and we found a similar cocktail

in Officer Chen
and Sergeant Bradford.

- Mercifully, none of the drugs
were fat soluble.

Otherwise, department policy

would have forced
Sergeant Bradford

and Officer Chen
into medical retirement.

- Is that what killed Bob,

whatever drug
they were exposed to?

- No, he was shot six times
in the chest.

- Did you get an ID
on the body?

- His name was Bob Medina,
a friend reported him

missing about six months ago.

He was a private investigator.

- What was his connection
to the hospital?

- At first,
we couldn't find one.

- So to be clear,
there was now a third killer

associated with that location?

At this point,
it can't be a coincidence.

There has to be something
about that facility

that draws people
towards homicide.

- That's a stretch and a half.

Westview is a hospital
for the mentally ill

and the criminally insane.
Novak was a patient.

Glasser was there
looking for a patsy.

And whoever killed Bob
saw an abandoned building

and was like, "That's a perfect
place to dump a body."

What?

- Or there was some dark energy
that drew evil to it.

- You really believe that?
- I'm Catholic.

I was raised on demons
and the battle

against Satan's minions.

- Well, I was raised
on the scientific method.

- OK, so if it's all
so explainable,

spend the night there.
I dare you.

- Pass.

- You're scared.

- No, I'm not scared.

- One could argue that
the drugs in the hospital

are hardly surprising,
even hallucinogens.

Over the decades,
they have been used

in experimental medicine.
- No, true.

Just the type and volume
is what set off--

- What are you doing?
- Conducting an interview.

Could you please come back
in, like, an hour?

- You said you'd talk to me
for my documentary.

- You have a documentary?

- Well, it's my story.
Who better to tell it?

- Well, no problem.

I can sit down with you just
as soon as we're done here.

- Oh, I wish.
It has to be exclusive.

You can't do both.

- She's right.
It has to be exclusive.

Either you're doing my doc,
or you're doing hers,

and we have a long history.

- I was almost
his daughter-in-law,

so suck it.

- I'm going to have
to go with her.

I'm sorry.
- Seriously?

I have a BAFTA.

OK, fine.

Let's wrap it up.
- This way. The set's this way.

It's better lighting
over there.

We got a great team.

- We are going to need
our mic back.

- Yes, oh, sorry.
- Yeah, of course.

We have our own.
- Sorry.

I'll see you guys around.
- Good luck.

- We can talk about what else
I found inside the secret lab.

- Oh, right.

Well, you did find
some paperwork.

- Explosive paperwork.

Evidence of a secret
government program.

Close the door softly please.

- Well, I don't know that
we can say that for sure.

- Oh, we could.

[dramatic R&B music]

My name is Abigail Tierney.

I'm currently trapped
inside a secret lab

at Westview Psychiatric.

All attempts at escape
have proven fruitless.

If I'm to die here,
I leave you this footage

along with my in-process
documentary as evidence

of my hunt for the truth
about the evils

that inhabit
this accursed place.

- ♪ The way I move
is a mystery ♪

♪ I'm not the way ♪

- What's this?

♪ ♪

Cool.

That's when I realized
I'd uncovered

something more haunting than
any ghost or serial killer.

I'd uncovered a conspiracy
that went to

the very highest levels
of our government.

- The government files
Abigail found

detailed classified plans
and methods

for human experimentation.

- What type of experimentation?

- Are you familiar
with MK-Ultra?

- Of course.

It was a top secret CIA program
in the '50s and '60s

using experimental drugs

to aid in
interrogation techniques.

- It was straight-up
mind control.

I mean, they used high doses
of psychoactive drugs like LSD,

sodium pentothal, which is
also known as a "truth serum."

The program ran
from 1953 to 1973

before it was shut down
following a public outcry.

I mean, all the facilities
were closed.

- There's no evidence
the CIA ever used Westview

as a base of operations.

So what were top secret
MK-Ultra documents doing there?

- Good question.

We started digging
into the trove of files

Abigail had found, and one name

kept popping up
again and again.

- Dr. Julius Erickson.

He was one of the psychologists
contracted by the CIA

to conduct
experimental research.

- And after MK-Ultra
shut down, he took a new job.

- Director of Westview.

- Dr. Erickson ran
the hospital for 20 years.

And from the notes
we uncovered,

it seems clear he continued
his own research in private,

trying to use the
psychological breakthroughs

from MK-Ultra
to further his own research

into mind-altering drugs.

- I assume he used those drugs
on Westview patients?

- Yeah, at first.

But then, he started
using them on himself,

believing he had found the key
to improving his own mind.

- He hadn't.

And in a last moment
of lucidity,

Erickson decided
to destroy his research.

- He dumped the chemicals
outside the building,

where they started to slowly
seep into the structure.

- And some of the drugs
were potent enough

to be absorbed
simply by touch,

even when diluted.

- Erickson committed himself
to Westview shortly after,

never said another word.

He died in 2020.

- Did the CIA ever find out
what Erickson was doing?

- Not that we've found,
but it's not like the agency

ever returns our phone calls.

- Anyone who studied the past
knows that the CIA

has a history of
violent cover-ups.

MK-Ultra
might have become public,

but that doesn't mean
there still

aren't secrets to protect.

By uncovering Dr. Erickson's
connection to Westview

and discovering Bob's body,
I've put myself in danger.

But the best way
to protect yourself

is with the truth, which
brings me to Caroline McGrath.

Turns out Caroline is the one

who hired Bob
to go to Westview,

and I need to find out why
before it's too late.

I think--
[body thuds]

- What the hell?
- We got lucky.

A woman in the neighborhood
heard a commotion

and filmed
Abigail's abduction.

- Thanks to them, we were able
to track the vehicle.

- Where'd it go?

- Back to where it all began,
Westview.

[suspenseful music]

♪ ♪

- Police!
Drop the weapon!

On the ground.

Hands on your head.
Turn around.

Walk towards my partner.

- Hands behind your back.

- You OK?
- Yeah, totally fine.

Carl's going through it, though.

- I never really even
knew my mother.

- Does anyone, really?

- What is going on here?

- Well, my friend Carl here
was being pressured

into killing me, but then,
we got to talking, right?

- Yeah, and I couldn't.
- Yeah.

- OK, but pressured by who?
- Um, my boss.

- Meg Davidson.
- Who?

- The current director
at Westview Psychiatric.

[dramatic music]

- But she started working
at the hospital

long after Julius Erickson
went mad,

and she has no links
to the CIA,

so why would she try
to kill Abigail?

- To cover up Bob's murder.
- And who killed Bob?

- Can you introduce yourself?

- Oh, yes.
My name is Caroline McGrath.

- You hired my friend,
Bob Medina,

because you had questions

about your friend Winona's
treatment at Westview, right?

- Yes, of course,
everyone thought

I was just being paranoid,
but Bob didn't,

and it got him killed.

- You worked with
Winona Baker, right?

- Yes, she was hospitalized
with depression

by her daughter.

Seemed like therapy and some
medication would help her,

but Winona got worse fast.

Lost track of reality,

she exhibited signs
of psychosis,

paranoia, dissociation.

And by that point,
I wondered whether a transfer

to a new facility might
be in her best interest.

- And then?

- The director informed me
that Winona's family

had gotten a judge
to order a conservatorship,

and they wanted her
to stay for good.

- You were suspicious?

- Winona always had her funks.

But she wasn't crazy

until that place
made her lose her mind.

- And that proved to be
the break you needed?

- Yeah, when we started
looking into it,

it turned out a significant
number of Westview patients

were wealthy,
and a high percentage

were ordered
into conservatorship.

- Now, conservatorship
is extremely difficult

to get for an adult because of
the potential abuse of power.

It gives one party
legal authority

over certain aspects of
another person's life,

including managing
all of their assets.

It's like what happened
to Britney Spears.

- "Manage their assets"--

rich person speak
for controlling

someone else's money.
- [chuckles]

Yes, and money makes people
do crazy things.

- Like poison
their family member's water

with a chemical cocktail
so potent

it has the potential
to permanently damage

the human psyche?

[exhales deeply]

- Yeah, just like that.
[chuckles]

- I was supposed to inherit,

but, um, after my break
with reality,

my dad cut me off, and
my brother got everything.

- What's everything?

- Oh, about, um, $12 million.

- It must have been hard going
from that kind of wealth

to nannying.
- Oh, no.

No, it was a blessing.

I really think that helping
children was my calling.

Mm.

- Once we found the pattern,
we started interviewing

some of the families.

A little pressure,
and they cracked.

- And with
the search warrant,

we found the gun
used to kill Bob Medina

in Director Davidson's closet.

- She'd been running
her scam for a decade.

Turns out she was
Dr. Erickson's therapist

in the last years of his life.

He must have told her
about his experiments.

In exploring his old lab,
she'd uncovered

the tainted water,
realized its potential.

And we had her
on murder, fraud,

elder abuse, kidnapping,
attempted murder, poisoning.

- Miss Davidson, would you
like to make a comment?

You know, this might be
your last chance to tell

your side of the story.

[tense music]

Look at all these
people watching.

- The state ordered
a full investigation

into every conservatorship
Westview ordered.

God willing,
the victims will get

their rights and assets back.

- And Westview itself
has been closed for good.

- But the lawsuits
are just starting,

not to mention the rest
of the legal ramifications.

- I'm glad this is getting
so much attention.

These poor, abused patients
can finally get justice.

- Do you think it could
impact your case at all?

- It certainly gives my defense
a fresh coat of paint.

If the jury
won't listen to reason--

because I am innocent--

perhaps they will listen
to the tragic story

of a simple tradesman
falling victim

to a poisoned environment that
chemically affected my psyche.

- And what did that
environment make you do?

- Who can say?
Certainly not me.

I-- I wasn't in my right mind.

- Yeah, the, um--
the poisoned water

was only found
in the abandoned psych ward.

No vending machines left
to fill there, right?

- At this point,
I must confess I did go inside

that abandoned ward
back when I was a kid.

My father's warnings,
they didn't scare me away.

They only made me
more desperate to see.

And whatever lurked inside...

must have infected me.

[eerie music]

- Hm.

- Glasser is claiming that
the presence of those drugs

would absolve him of
any alleged responsibility

for the murders.

- There is no way that defense
is going to work.

We have Glasser dead to rights.
- Are you sure about that?

- Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

[timpani booming]

- [clears throat]

- Hey, hey.
Sorry.

I know we talked about me not
recording interviews in here,

but Rodge mentioned he needed
a space with great acoustics.

And, you know,
we're shutting it down.

We're shutting it down.
Shut it--

shut it down.
- Shutting it down, copy.

Hi.
Sorry.

She said this was cool.

You're going to help me
get these in the van, right?

- I'll be right there.

- Next time,
handcuffs and squad cars.

- Yeah, totally understandable.

[upbeat music]

Thanks again for going
exclusive with me.

Seriously, this doc
is going to be huge.

- I hope so.

You deserve something good
after what you've been through.

How are you holding up?
- Oh, I'm-- I'm fine.

I'm happy to have something
to focus on.

- When I've been through
some scary times,

I have been guilty of using
my work as my therapy,

but if there's ever a time
you need someone to talk to--

- Thank you.
Really.

But I already have
a great therapist,

one with zero history
at Westview.

- Excellent.

You know, there's still
something I can't figure out.

How did you know
that Bob the PI

was working
for Caroline McGrath.

- Oh, Bob told me while
we were stuck in the lab.

He got chatty
once he opened up.

I have that effect on people.
