Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.

Well, baby, I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss you, too.

I want you to take care of yourself, honey.

And do whatever they tell you.

And I'm sure that every... I want to go, Daddy.

Everything's going to be all right, honey. You'll see.

Besides, it's only for a little while.

You'll be back home before you know it.

for a week now you're only making it more difficult for everyone now let's

Why couldn't Daddy come with us?

Kathy, you should know by now that your father is not the strongest person in

the world.

He just doesn't have the stomach for it.

I can't understand you.

We had discussed this over and over again. You knew it was all decided.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I don't know why you had to make such a scene in front of the house.

You know what our neighbors are like.

Mother, I said I was sorry.

I'm scared, Mommy.

Sweetheart, you know that the only reason we're doing this is because...

Your father and I are convinced that it's the best thing for you.

We had long talks with Father Kelly about this, and he agrees with us.

Besides, it's only for a short period of observation, not treatment.

Everything will be fine. You'll see.

Yes. Yes, I'll tell Dr. Clark about it.

Fine.

Thank you.

Bye -bye.

Can I help you?

Yes, I'm Mrs. Taylor, and this is my daughter Kathy.

She's here for admittance.

Just a moment, please.

Ah, here it is.

Catherine Taylor for observation.

Would you please fill this card in and sign it?

Willie, can you come to the desk, please?

Now, in a moment, a nurse will be here to take you to your room.

Now, you do understand there will be no visitors for the next two weeks.

Your own doctor will keep you posted on her progress.

I didn't know that.

Well, that seems rather strict.

Sorry, but those are the regulations.

Well, if those are the rules.

But can I at least go up to the room with her? Sorry, no visitors are

on the floor.

That's all right, honey.

We'll be in touch through Dr. Krause.

Goodbye, Molly.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

We'll see you soon, okay?

Let's wait for me.

We'll see you soon, okay?

You can get undressed now and change into this.

You ain't gonna shy on me, are you, sweetie?

You mean you want me to undress? Right now?

No. Why don't you put on your best dress?

We're going to a birthday party.

I didn't know if you... Of course I mean right now, stupid.

The same time as I examine you first.

What examination?

No, don't worry.

It's only routine. It won't take long.

Just to make sure you don't bring them bad -ass drugs in this fine place we run

here. Open your mouth.

Seems clean.

Is that why I had to take my clothes off?

No, but the next part is, on the bed.

Spread them. I said spread them, girl. What are you doing?

You'd be surprised at the place we use for hiding dope.

You don't even tell me, girl, you're a virgin.

I am. You're hurting me.

So you are.

Don't say that kind of pussy around here much anymore.

Now, hold on to your stomach.

Come on, girl, get your white ass up.

It's really going to hurt.

You never can tell. You might even get to like it.

Okay, you get dressed down. We're going to the day room.

What's that?

What's that? That's like a playroom. That's where all the fun is. That's

all the gooey people hang out.

to the nice people over there.

They can be your friend while you eat.

Now, I ain't got no time for formal induction.

You dig?

But if you go ahead and mingle, you'll make out okay.

Who are you?

I know who you are.

They sent you to spy on me, didn't they?

Well, you won't get away with it, you know.

I know who you are.

You're not fooling me. Not one bit.

I know who you are. I know who you are.

I know who you are.

I know who you are.

Well, you know we're doing this for your best interest.

Everything's going to be all right, honey.

After all, it's only for a little while.

You'll be back home before you know it.

It's only for observation, not treatment.

Everything will be fine, dear.

You'll see.

It's a real treat.

It's very expensive, and it's hard to get, you know.

Where did you get it?

Do you know my girlfriend Lois?

She got it from this groovy doctor she knows.

They came over to the house last night, and we smoked some grass.

Anyway, he left me some. Weren't your parents home?

They're never home.

So he brought out this stuff and asked if I wanted to blow.

I didn't even know what he meant. What is it?

It's coke, Stoop. Here, I'll show you how to do it.

I want to try it. Come on, don't be such a baby. I tried it for the first time

last night and it really makes you feel good.

Watch.

Okay, you want to try?

Be careful, don't spill any. This is all there is.

Kathy?

What's going on in here?

What are you doing?

What's this?

What's that funny smell?

You smoking marijuana now?

What's this?

Heroin?

How long have you been using heroin?

No, Mother, it's not. Please, we weren't. Ralph!

Oh, wait till your father sees this.

I can't believe you could do this to us while we gave you everything.

Please calm down. Now don't you tell me to be calm.

Now, you need some kind of help desperately.

Ralph! You see, Mr. Taylor, in a case like this, we have to make a

as to whether we're really dealing with a serious drug problem. Or whether, in

point of fact, Kathy is simply going through some post -adolescent

adjustments.

Doctor, look, I know how kids today can find themselves in serious trouble.

But I want to nip this thing in the bud. Now, I told you that.

I want some kind of action taken here.

Well, if you feel that strongly about it, Mrs. Taylor, the only other

I could make is to have Kathy admitted to a hospital for psychiatric

observation.

Now, I don't think the situation indicates a detoxification program.

Well, how long will she have to stay, Doctor?

Not long.

A week, perhaps.

Two of the most.

I won't go.

Now, you'll do what we tell you to.

Kathy, darling, we've got to do something to lick this drug problem.

But, Daddy, I don't have a drug problem.

I smoke grass once or twice, but that was the first time we even ever saw

another drug.

You know, one thing leads to another.

Remember the Jenkins boy?

You know, Marjorie's youngest?

Yeah, dead of an overdose at 17.

Calm yourself, Mrs. Taylor.

I don't think the situation is quite that desperate.

Look, I think that you and Mr. Taylor should go home and think it over.

If you want Kathy to go to the hospital, well, I'll make the arrangements.

And you can come in and sign the papers.

You're new here, ain't you?

I knew it. I ain't seen you here before.

Excuse me, where are the doctors coming in?

Doctors?

There are no doctors.

There are just a couple of guys running around in white coats.

They call themselves doctors.

They're crazier than the rest of us.

But isn't anyone here going to help me?

There's no help in this place.

She don't expect that.

There are a lot of bad people here.

You've got to watch out.

I can help you.

I can be your friend.

You want to be my friend?

Come on, honey. Let me see what kind of titties you have there.

No, I don't think so. I am the world's greatest poet.

Baudelaire, Rimbaud, William Blake, their blood flows through my veins.

Would you like to hear my poem?

Yes. It's untitled.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Come on, you son of bitches. Get out.

Get your ass out of here.

Bitches, get your ass out of here.

Move it.

This will help you sleep.

Shit. I was hoping to be first.

You actually expect me to believe that the inmates of this institution are

allowed to roam free at night?

Is that what you want me to accept?

I don't care what you accept. I'm telling you what happened.

I'm not making it up. I didn't dream it. It happened last night.

Three men were in here. They attacked me.

Did this come from a dream?

Why didn't you tell the nurse if you needed a tamp act? Because that's...

100 milligrams four times a day.

Shame on you.

Telling the doctor's way out story.

I'm going to keep a close eye on you now.

Wake up now.

Time for your medicine.

How long did you say she's been here?

Let's see. She came in on the 12th, I believe.

Yes, that's almost two weeks.

Very disturbed personality.

Definite symptoms of paranoid behavior with accompanying delusions.

Also a marked tendency toward depression.

Have you spoken to her parents?

Yes, they had her committed.

Typical middle class, but very strict religious.

I haven't discussed it with them yet, but I'm considering shock treatment.

What do you think, Doctor?

Let me have a talk with him. Certainly.

Kathy?

Kathy?

Kathy, I'd like you to meet someone.

This is Dr. Gabriel.

He'd like to help you.

Hello, Kathy.

Mind if I sit down?

Dr. Hirsch, I'd like to have a chat with Kathy alone.

If you don't mind.

Not at all, Doctor.

I'll be in my office. Call me if you need me.

I've heard a lot about you, Kathy.

I'd like to help you if you'll let me.

Don't you think I can help you?

How would you like to leave this place?

Can you get me out of here?

Well, I see I haven't lost your voice.

I'll lose my mind if I stay here any longer.

I know, Kathy.

I know what a dreadful place this is. And I know the terrible things that go

here. You really shouldn't be here.

I think I've imagined the things that have happened to me. I haven't. I'm not

crazy. I believe you.

Can you really get me out of here?

You see, I run a private sanitarium that specializes in the treatment and

counseling of young people like yourself.

Kids with difficult family situations, runaways, all the problems of growing

I don't know if my parents can afford it. I'm not interested in money, but I

will need your parents' consent.

Please, doctor, could you talk to them?

Please, I just want to get away from this place.

Take me out of here before I really go mad.

All right, Kathy.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll speak to your parents this week.

I don't know how to thank you.

You're the first person I've been able to talk to ever since I've been here.

You're going to be all right, Kathy.

I'll see to them.

Debbie, this is your new home.

Good morning, doctor.

How was the drive off?

Fine, fine.

Traffic, very light coming out of the city.

Kathy, this is Miss Kane.

Hello.

Welcome to our happy family.

Miss Kane is my assistant.

We've been together for many years.

If you'll follow me, Kathy, I'll show you to the doctor's study.

Sit down, Kathy.

I want to talk to you.

You look a little nervous.

Are you?

Yes, I guess so.

Relax.

I am going to help you.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Good.

Your parents are aware that I have my own system of treatment here.

In order for the system to be effective, there are certain rules that must be

obeyed.

Obeyed without question.

Strict discipline will be maintained at all times.

You will not talk to any of the other patients unless given permission to do

Neither your parents nor anyone else will be allowed to communicate with you

during the entire time of your stay here.

Can't I even call them?

Absolutely not.

No letters, no calls, no visitors.

You must place yourself entirely in my hands.

You will do everything that I tell you to do.

You will relate only to me.

You must realize that I am the only one that can help you.

And that is why you must trust me.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Good.

Our task is to break the stranglehold of the past.

We must liberate ourselves from the old traditions and outmoded concepts of good

and evil that simply have no place, no place in the modern world.

In order to be free, you must unlearn all the moral values that your misguided

parents have taught you.

You will learn to free your spirit and your flesh.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I think so. Good.

I will be your teacher, your guru, the real father you never had.

You will obey me as a newborn child, and I will lead you to knowledge.

Now, Miss Kane will show you to your room.

You will do exactly as she tells you.

out your wrist, please.

Why? What are you going to do?

I thought you had understood the doctor.

Please, do as I say. You're crazy!

I won't let you!

Oh, yes, you will!

I see that you have not understood me completely.

You will have to be punished.

will not impress me. I will judge your pain by the size and the color of the

wealth raised by the will.

You must learn to avoid pain just as silence can be interpreted as speech.

You learn that pain is also pleasure.

Something can be transformed into...

You must die and descend into hell before you can rise and be reborn.

Now I will allow you to give yourself to pure pleasure.

I want you to be calm.

I want you to relax.

I won't touch you.

I want you to allow your fantasies to take over.

Don't be afraid of them, for they are only in your mind.

Don't look for reason or logic.

Just follow your fantasies.

wherever they take you.

With your hands, I want you to caress your body, your skin.

It's a lovely, smooth, young texture.

Enjoy the feel of it with your fingertips.

Delicately.

Slowly.

Feel it soft.

Downy hairs between your thighs.

Subtle rounded curves of your hips and belly.

They lead teasingly toward the center of desire.

There's no need to hurry.

We are here in a place without time or space.

Feel the swelling fullness of your young breasts.

Hold the nipple with your fingers in pink.

Squeezing. A little harder.

Let your fingers play the opening of the tiny mouth that lies between your legs.

How soft it is.

Stroke it gently.

Search until you find that little tongue that will give you pleasure.

That's it.

Let it happen.

What do you think?

The cuts seem to be healing nicely.

The doctor's been very lenient with you.

It's usually much harder on a new girl.

Harder? How can it be any harder?

You've only been whipped a few times since you've been here.

Believe me, the doctor can be very brutal sometimes.

He's a monster.

Be patient, Kathy.

I'm sure we can change your mind.

Do you like my body?

I want you to enjoy it.

Knock on it, you little bitch.

Knock on it, you little bitch.

Eat me.

More. Harder, you bitch.

Boom.

Did you want to see me?

Yes. Sit down.

Your stay here is coming to an end.

I've arranged a little farewell that I want you to enjoy.

Will you be with me?

Don't ever touch me.

Well, why is it that you've never touched me?

My pleasures are in the mind.

They are far more exquisite than any temptation to the flesh.

Sometimes you sound like a priest.

I am a priest in my own way.

My father was a minister.

He made sure that I became one, too.

Our parish was in the poorest part of town.

The noises from the local whorehouse kept me awake at night.

teasing my imagination with the wildest fantasies.

I was tormented with sexual hunger.

My guts ached for the touch of a woman.

Tried to fight it, bury it.

I had my own congregation at 28.

It was a lovely young girl.

Anyway, I lost the faith.

I lost my church.

Tried to resume a normal life, but it was too late.

Physically, I was useless.

I traveled.

I read.

I studied.

I knew what I had to do.

This is my church.

And you, you are part of my new congregation.

Now I want you to prepare yourself.

Go and make yourself beautiful.

Oh.

Well, Kathy, you've come a long way since we first met.

You're not the same frightened little girl I met four months ago.

How do you feel about me now?

I'm not quite sure.

I thought I hated you.

But... But you don't anymore.

I guess not.

You've discovered a great deal about yourself since you've been here.

You're free to go.

You mean I can leave?

There are no chains on you anymore.

You may go anytime.

But if you do leave, remember, it's forever.

I never want to see you again.

Never?

Couldn't I just come back and visit you?

You may stay here now for as long as you like, but once you go, don't ever come

back.

Once I thought of all kinds of ways to escape.

Now I'd sort of like to stay for a little while longer.

In a strange way, I feel safe here.

I don't know if I want to go back home.

It's your choice.

It's up to you.

Incidentally, I have a new girl I brought in for treatment.

I thought perhaps you might enjoy watching her initiation.

You're also free to join in if you'd like.

Now, I have some things to attend to.

What do you think doctor?

I'm not sure.

We'll soon see.

Is everything ready?

Yes, doctor.

Stop.

Thank you.

Susan, it's me, Kathy.

Kathy.

Kathy.

What are you doing here in this awful place?

It's a very long story. I could ask you the same thing.

Just so glad to see you.

We'll have lots of time to talk about all that.

I've got to get out of here. I'm frightened.

I know.

I've been through it all myself.

This used to be my room.

I can leave if I want to.

You can?

For God's sakes, Kathy, help me, please.

Let's both get away before it's too late.

But you don't understand.

I don't want to get away.

You don't want to?

I can't believe you.

You must be crazy.

This place, that man, it's all so evil.

I don't know if you can understand.

I'm not really sure I understand myself.

But in a certain way, I feel safe here.

I feel protected.

Even needed.

What about your parents?

They're worried sick about you.

I'm sorry for them.

And your friends.

Don't you ever want to see them again?

I just can't go back.

Then for God's sakes, Kathy, help me get out of here.

I'll get you some clothes. We haven't much time.

I can't.

Will I ever see you again?

I don't know.

I'm sorry to let you go.

You shouldn't have done that.

I told you he was a good doctor.
