Original subtitles

Yeah, Dr. Ray. Yeah, Professor Stevens.

Yeah.

No, I'm... We need more.

I don't have a choice. I'm literally at my wit's end.

I don't care about the board.

Well, do they want results, or... No, there is no conversation.

No, I'm not having this conversation.

I will pay them back, okay?

I will get the money.

Yes.

Yeah, I promise.

I need you to trust me.

Alright? Just... Trust me here.

Okay? I am out of options.

I am out of options.

I am out of options here.

Alright, help me. I am out of options.

I am out of options.

I don't have a choice. I am out of options.

What do you want me to do? I am out of options!

Okay, what?

Damn it, I am out of options.

Dr. Moore.

Dr. Stevenson. Thank you so much for coming.

Please, welcome to the Brunswick Academy.

It's my legacy.

Quite the place you have here, Dr.

Stevenson.

Thank you.

We consider this place a last resort.

where most people have given up on these students, where we don't.

How many do you have at the moment?

Five, right now.

And, um, which brings me to why you're here.

I'm very aware of your methodologies, and

I'm sure you're aware of the

Academy's reputation?

I've heard a thing or two.

We have a 100 % success rate in reforming students here.

In fact, 9 out of 10 students have their pick of any collegiate institution.

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, if they wish to go abroad.

I see you're probably getting my point.

Dr. Stevenson, don't bullshit me.

I know ideas are over here.

Yes. Okay, to the point.

I will not have my reputation, nor this academy's reputation, my legacy,

tarnished because of five upsets who want to challenge the system.

Now, I know your methods are unorthodox, but I think we can both agree that

extreme circumstances require extreme measures.

You know, Dr.

Stevenson, when Dr. Palmer contacted me and told me to come here, he told me

you would beat around the bush like this.

A little bit.

But I can see that you're a man of integrity, and I can see that you care

this place, and I know that you care for these girls.

I do.

And that is why you are here.

Because you are my last hope.

Are they dangerous?

They're not like any students you've dealt with before.

They will get under your skin.

They will test your last nerve.

I need someone who can resist that.

You don't have to worry about me, Dr. Stevenson.

You don't have to worry about me, Dr. Stevenson.

You don't have to worry about me, Dr. Stevenson.

I'm a man of honor.

I believe that there's not one person that can't be taught to become better,

be reformed.

It's all about confrontation.

It's about raw, brutal honesty.

I couldn't agree more.

Maybe it's about paying your debt, if you have them.

I don't believe a person should have debt, do you?

I'm sorry, what did you say?

Death.

Spiritual death.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Dr.

Muller, I really need you to understand something.

These girls, they're not...

They're not your typical girls. They're not your typical cases.

They are unique.

Alright? They have issues.

They have... Just delicacies that we have

not seen here yet at the academy.

I need you to understand this. I need this to get through.

This is...

My job's on the line.

My reputation is on the line.

I cannot lose this academy.

Listen, Dr. Stevenson.

I can do this.

Give me time with these girls, but allow me to do what I need to do.

If you allow me to do what I really need to do, the way that I need to do it, I

will get you rid of them.

Okay.

Hell, I look forward to the challenge.

To me, these girls can be conquered.

Have you seen any drinks around here?

No. Nothing? Are you there?

Anyone home?

What do you feel for?

I'm not telling you that.

Excuse me.

Do you know who my father is?

Well, clearly he's not here, right?

Right? You know what? You're not even worth my fucking time.

Don't say that.

I can't hear you.

My father.

Nobody has talked to me.

Oh my god.

What if they go?

Ew.

Do you know why she's in here? Oh.

Talking to herself?

What a freak.

Who does that?

Oh my god. Get me out of here.

Should we?

Should we? Get me out of here.

Um, we need to find a way out.

I don't know, but I heard that, um, that one over there, she like, you know, the

white one down the south.

Do you think she has the name? Maybe.

Ladies,

may I have your attention, please?

Excuse me, ladies.

This is Dr. Moore.

He's a specialist that I brought on here at the Academy to help with our

situation.

Anyway, would you please introduce yourselves to Dr. Mullet?

Ladies, hi. You can call me John.

What are those shoes?

You are?

Where are they from?

Hmm.

Hi, I'm Mary.

Hi, Mary. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well.

Yeah.

I can see... There's smalls in here.

I... There's no smalls in here. Yeah, I mean, that's fancy.

Well, there is.

Ladies and gentlemen, please show Dr. Moller just a modicum of respect.

You're funny.

Ew.

Emily, I don't think I've met you yet.

No.

Hi. John.

It's nice to meet you, Jennifer.

Well, lady, I'm going to be helping you for the next three days.

I'm going to be helping you and getting you better, getting you to a place where

you can re -enter society.

Are we ready to re -enter society?

Invigorated? Yes!

You will listen to what he says, and you will do what he says.

Is that understood?

I think we'll listen to who we want to listen to, and I think we'll do what we

want to do.

That's the only thing I've heard her say that I agree with. Yeah.

I can see you are correct, Dr.

Stevenson.

We have a lot of work to do.

I'm sure they will enjoy your methodology.

I'll leave you to it. Thank you.

I think the only work we need to do are those genes.

They're disgusting.

Do you have a problem with my shoes?

Yeah. Do any of you have a problem with my shoes?

Can we go shopping?

My shoes are not the issue today.

Ew, now I really smell disgusting.

You must be Bianca. Are there any malls around here?

Well, Bianca, we are going to learn to confront.

each other. Oh, I really can't do that.

In the ways that bring us closer together and that show us ourselves.

Are you ready to confront yourself?

No.

I want to get out of here.

Ladies, it's 12 o 'clock.

At 2 o 'clock, we'll have our first session.

I'll see you then.

I see what you mean.

I noticed A lot of dissociative behavior.

Blatant disrespect for authority.

They walk all over you. They walk all over me.

Rude language.

General disrespect and just the inability to...

They don't want to get better.

It's almost like they see their...

fault as an excuse.

And for them, it's all a joke.

They're just laughing and yeah, they don't want to be helped.

So this is going to be a unique challenge.

But I can do it.

I can do it.

Listen, Dr. Muller, there's something that I do need to tell you.

One of the students here, she's difficult.

Very difficult.

Jennifer.

Let's just say that if something

were to happen, you know, accident or accidents happen all the time,

right? Right?

Yeah.

Her parents are very influential and powerful.

And if, you know, she happened to go on a

hike or field trip or just fall down the stairs, it

wouldn't come back to you.

Or to the Academy.

Interesting.

John, can I call you John?

Yes, sir.

I trust you.

Do what you need to do.

Whatever you need to do.

You have my full support.

I'll get the job done.

Where you hiding?

What are you hiding from me?

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

What are you hiding?

What are you hiding?

There's something you're not telling me.

There's something you're hiding and I need to know what that

is.

What is it?

What did you do?

What did you do?

What happened at the party?

What happens at all parties?

What did you do?

What didn't I do?

Can we be better?

You can.

What do you need?

What do you need, Devin?

Out.

What do you feel?

The exit.

What did it look like?

Door? Yes.

In a room?

Swapped.

Can you unlock it?

I don't know.

What do you feel?

I don't know.

Do you hear?

What do you hear?

What do you hear?

Music.

Music. I hear music.

Yes.

Was there music at the party?

Yes.

Do you remember what you did?

Yeah.

Are you able to open that door?

No.

You're close.

You're very close.

I'm proud of you.

I'm very proud of you, Cassidy.

We're gonna get there.

We're going to open that door.

Would you like to play piano for me?

Yes. Okay.

Let's do it.

What lie are you telling yourself right now?

That I plan on staying.

What lie are you telling yourself right now?

That I'm happy here.

Are you happy here?

No.

Have you ever been happy in this life?

Yes.

But I think I'm done now.

You're done being happy?

No.

You're done with this life?

That doesn't mean I'm done being happy.

What brought you here?

I needed a place to live.

You needed a place to live, or you needed a place to feel alive?

I had already lived so much, I needed a place to live temporarily.

Hmm.

Do you feel like you're alive?

Yes.

Where are you hiding?

My plans for the future.

What are your plans for the future?

I plan on getting out of here and moving on to better things.

Better things?

More. With less limits.

Are you comfortable here?

Yes.

Look at me.

Are you lying to me?

I wasn't.

What do you see when you dream?

The future.

What's your future?

Expansion. Limitlessness.

I don't have to tell you.

Where are you hiding from me?

There's nothing that concerns you.

through your eyes.

You're hiding something.

Where do you really want to go?

Beyond.

I want to leave everything behind.

And it's not just a desire, it's a plan.

It's part of who I am.

It's my embodiment. I am going.

Beyond.

Beyond.

Beyond what?

Beyond... Beyond this life.

Oh.

And that's what you were hiding from me.

It doesn't concern you.

Hiding implies it matters to you somehow.

I'm very proud of you for sharing this with me.

This place could be very dangerous for someone like you.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

It's exactly the type of fucking weird hippy dippy shit my parents would

send me to.

There's something you're not telling me.

You don't know me, so, yeah.

There's a lot that I'm not telling you.

There's something that you're not telling yourself.

What are you hiding from yourself?

What are you hiding, John?

Hmm?

I'll ask the questions. Are you...

What are you hiding?

What's your life like, John?

You do this for three days and then what? You go home to an empty home.

Lots of broken promises.

You could be the type that would be a hopeless romantic.

Such a good thing you're giving that energy for sure you are asking too many

questions I'll ask the questions Mary

Okay

There's something that you're not telling me there's something that you're

telling me there's something that you are not telling me It's not that I'm

going to tell you about myself.

I want you to tell me about yourself.

You know, in order for me to feel comfortable talking about myself, I need

know a few things about you first.

Is that how this is going to work?

Yeah, that's how it's going to work.

What do you want to know?

What is it that I could tell you?

that would make you open up that head of yours.

Right?

It's not so easy when you're in the hospital, is it?

What are you hiding from me, Mary?

Mary who spends all of her daddy's money all over town. You don't know anything!

You don't know anything about me.

I know you're a bad girl.

And that's why you're here at this bad girl school.

You know what I've heard about therapists before?

Usually they're the ones who are the most fucked up.

What, do you get off on, like, talking to young women like this?

And learning about their secret?

Huh?

Yeah, that's making you angry, isn't it? Because it's fucking true.

So what? Tell me about your life.

Am I done here?

You know, Mary, Dr. Stevenson was very correct.

You... When we're in these sessions, I don't want you to ask me

about my life.

I will do the question asking. Is that clear?

You don't know me or how broken I am.

I eat up girls like you every single day.

And I eat men like you every single day. So it looks like we're pretty talking

even.

The session's over.

Thank you for your time.

You have a secret?

What is your secret?

What do you want to confess?

What do you want to confess?

Do you want to confess?

Come closer.

What happened at the club? Stop shaking your body. What happened at the club?

Talk. Come closer to me. I can't. Stand here. Stand here.

Don't move. I'm not going to hurt you.

What happened at the club?

I don't know.

That night.

Come on.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

What happened?

You were there.

No, it wasn't me.

No, it wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

Get it together.

Get it together.

I want to show you something.

I want to show you something.

Don't move.

Can you see this?

No.

Get it away.

Get it away from me. Do you want it?

No, I don't want to touch it. I don't want to be around it.

Just get it away from me.

You can have it if you want to.

You remember, don't you?

I don't remember anything.

You remember.

You need to be with me. Be present now.

Face this.

Face it.

You go back to your apartment in Hollywood.

Hollywood.

North Hollywood.

You're at your apartment.

What do you see when you open the door?

It was all blurry.

I was coming back from my work, from the club.

I was really drunk, and all I remember was just opening that door.

And that was her.

Yes. She was with Evan, my boyfriend.

He cheated on me. I was just a bit pissed off. Yes.

I don't know what to do. I was just... You know what to do. I was out of my

and it's so blurry.

What did you do?

I don't know. What did you do? I don't know.

I don't remember.

I don't remember.

What did you do?

What did you do to her?

I stabbed her. What? I stabbed her.

Yeah. I stabbed her. Yeah.

Yeah.

Feel it.

Yeah.

Hard.

Right?

And again.

And again.

Be with it.

Can you feel it?

Yes.

Yes.

Good.

Be with it. Be with it.

Don't run.

Don't run.

Don't! I can't!

Put your hands down, please.

What's wrong with you?

We're in session now.

Okay.

No talking in session.

Hands down.

What do you want from me?

Stop fidgeting.

I want you to look at me.

You're a psycho.

What's wrong with you?

No talking.

Just look at me. I'll do the talking.

Talk.

I guess I'm an alcoholic.

I could really use a drink right now.

It would really take the edge off.

You're a drinker.

For fun.

You're an alcoholic.

Why are you an alcoholic?

You tell me.

Why are you an alcoholic?

You don't know what it's like to be me, okay?

So don't ask questions like that.

Why are you an alcoholic?

You don't understand.

Why are you an alcoholic? I need an emotional support beverage. My hands are

shaking. I don't... I need a drink.

Why are you an alcoholic?

Why are you questioning me?

Why are you an alcoholic?

I guess because my dad is crazy, my mom is crazy, my whole family is crazy,

okay? What's wrong with that?

Is he no problem with drinking?

Why do you tell yourself that you're crazy?

I said you're crazy.

Why are you telling yourself that you're crazy? Why are you getting so close to

me? Why are you telling yourself that you're crazy? Get your hands off!

Why are you telling yourself that you're crazy?

I'm not.

I never said I was crazy.

I said you're crazy.

Get your hands off.

Confess that you're an alcoholic.

Faith it. You have no idea what it's like to be me.

You have no idea.

What's it like?

It's very, very hard, okay?

And alcohol helps me.

What's wrong with that?

I want you to repeat after me.

I don't need alcohol.

I want you to repeat after me.

I don't need alcohol.

No thanks.

Repeat after me.

I don't need alcohol.

Repeat after me. Say it. I don't need alcohol.

Fine. I don't need alcohol. Say it. I don't need alcohol.

Say it. I don't need alcohol.

More. I don't need alcohol. I'm not an alcoholic.

Say it.

Say it. It's okay to say it.

It's okay to feel it.

It's okay.

Ex -boyfriend David, he was driving us home one night from a party, and he

crashed, and he died.

Yeah. So alcohol is what helped me cope with losing the love

of my life.

Okay.

I understand.

I understand.

Look at you, opening up like this.

It's actually really amazing.

It's really amazing.

And you know that when you want to go for that drink, it's a choice that

making.

Okay?

It's a choice.

You don't need it.

We're going to get you out of here.

And you're going to pull back out into society.

When can I get out?

Maybe tonight.

Okay.

I feel like with you, we really broke through.

I agree.

When I first came here, you were a little mean and biting, but look at you

I see the honesty in your eyes.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay. You need to go get some rest, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Cassidy.

I need you to be present.

I need you to open up today.

Today is the day, Cassidy.

No more hiding.

No more hiding from what you've done.

No more hiding from who you are.

Go into the room.

Go into the room.

Come on.

Don't look away.

Don't you look away from me.

I don't want to do this.

Don't look away.

Stay with me here.

Stay with me here.

Feel it.

Come on, Kennedy.

Come on.

The room.

The night.

What happened?

It was a party. It was just a party.

And there was music.

And there was music.

Yes. Yes.

Music. Music.

And your friend.

She was there. I don't want to talk about her.

Lucy.

Lucy. I don't want to talk about Lucy.

Come on.

I don't want to do this.

You talk back.

Look out there.

That's your mind.

Lucy's there.

You're there.

It's late.

It's late.

You're drinking.

You're drinking.

What do you do?

I drunk her!

I drunk her and so what?

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

You opened up. Come on. Come on.

Music.

Music.

You're a musician.

You can play.

You confessed.

You said it. You did it.

You're getting better.

You're better. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Sit down.

Sit down.

You're free.

Be free.

So proud of you.

You did it.

Do you hear me?

You did it.

You're free.

How did it feel?

Good.

This morning's session was a little... I don't know. I feel kind of clothed up.

But nothing started to open up in front of you.

Hmm.

Yeah, me too.

Your parents, very influential.

Who cares about my parents, babe?

Yeah.

Listen, I brought something I want to show you for the session.

I think it's going to really take our healing to the next level.

Do you know what this is?

It's a knife.

Yeah.

When I show this to you, how does it make you feel?

I don't know how honest I can be, but familiar, I guess.

You can be honest.

You can be honest.

Light up.

What are you really hiding from me?

I feel like I've asked that question to you so many times.

What are you hiding? What are you hiding?

And yet, I don't feel like I really got a satisfactory answer.

And it really disappoints me that I can't help you in the way I...

You're asking me to tell you?

Between you and I, can I

ask you something very personal?

Yes. Okay.

How would you like to go really, really far away?

My plan is to die.

You know, some of the great mystics of this world

said that there's a beauty in being dead

to the world.

Now maybe I'm misunderstanding them, but would you like to be dead to the world?

Yeah.

Well, there are forms of therapy that go really

deep.

Are you ready for the ultimate therapy?

Yeah.

Stab me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

What are you doing here?

What are you really doing here?

What are you really doing here?

Don't do this. I want answers now.

Don't do this.

I'm too smart for you. You know that?

Yeah, I'm too smart for you. I know exactly what you're fucking doing.

Where is she?

Where's who?

I don't know what I'm talking about.

Her? Where is she?

She's not available anymore.

What did you do to her?

Why are you so interested in me?

Why are you so interested in what I did?

Because I know exactly what you guys are fucking doing here.

I know what you're doing here. I know why you have all these broken girls

Yeah. You think you can manipulate me?

You can't.

If I wanted to, I could manipulate you.

Right here. And right now.

No, you couldn't.

Do you think you can manipulate me?

Yeah, I already have.

Try me.

Where's your wife?

Hmm?

I don't have a wife.

Yeah, I know that. Where is she?

I'm divorced.

Yeah, why'd you get divorced?

You ask way too many questions.

I know you're hiding something.

Look into my eyes.

Look into my eyes.

You can trust me.

Maybe we're both broken.

You don't know me.

No, I don't.

You don't know me at all.

Look at me, please. No.

No.

We're broken.

And in our brokenness, it brings us together.

I'm not trying to manipulate you.

I want to help you.

Who are you?

Just some girl who stole her dad's credit card, that's all.

Be broken with me. It's okay.

Who are you?

Come on.

You don't need to be here.

You can be out there.

You can be free.

You can be free.

How?

You're doing it right now.

You're being honest.

I know I'm broken.

I don't hide from it.

I'm so messed up.

You have no idea.

And it's okay.

Confront your brokenness and it'll set you free.

You want to be free?

Yeah.

You want to be free?

I can tell you're a real person with a good heart.

I mean, you even intimidate me.

You're strong.

You're courageous.

Okay? Okay?

You have a good heart.

I mean it.

You're not like them.

You're not like them.

You're different.

Will you trust me?

Are you ready to go back out there?

Yeah, but only if you tell me what you're doing here for real.

I'm trying to fix myself too.

It's not easy.

You've come a long way, Jessica.

You've come a long way.

Listen.

You don't have to run from who you are anymore.

Okay? You think so?

Yeah.

I know so.

What you told me is your truth.

And you've said it now.

And you don't have to feel that guilt.

You know that I didn't want to do it.

I know.

It was just...

Stupid emotional mistake.

Oh my God, it might not be enough.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Don't run from it.

Don't run from it.

It's okay.

I'm proud of you. I just want to let it go. I just don't want to keep it like in

here. I just want to let it all go and forget about it.

Yeah.

You can.

Listen to me.

From this moment, You can let it go.

Say it. Say, I can let it go.

I can let it go.

Again. I can let it go.

I can let it go.

One more time.

I can let it go.

I can.

It's gone.

I can see it floating away.

I feel more released now. Yeah.

I don't have that, like, tough anxiety.

I just... Yeah.

You did it. Yeah. I'm proud of you.

That feels so much better. I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Okay.

Why don't you get some rest? We'll call you for a ride. I'll tell Dr. Stevenson

that you're ready for readmittance into society.

Okay. All right. Thank you. Good job.

Seven times.

She was almost there.

And then the being, the possibility of being revealed itself.

It was the possibility of being.

It was being within the possibility of being that did it.

And they're healed.

They're all... Dr. Wheeler. Dr. John.

I don't know.

You're incredible.

What you did, it was... You... How?

You saved me. You saved the school. You saved... I

am literally at a loss for words.

Let me break it down for you.

There's a methodology to this way of teaching.

You strike hard, you confront with honesty, and

you confront the subject from a space of pure possibility

of being.

And when you confront the subject from that space of the pure possibility

of being,

That's an open space.

And from that open space, anything is possible.

Now, accidents do happen.

Yes. I was saddened to hear about Jennifer's passing.

And, you know, that she would herself at the knife.

I must tell you, though, She almost had this look of tranquility on her face.

And I guess if we can take anything from this, she's

in peace now.

Now the other girls, I must say, I'm very proud of them.

Bianca, her alcoholism was just a delusion.

Cassidy.

She was unable to confront what she did, what she put in her friend's

drink.

The others, they were all running from something.

Maybe that's why they ended up at this bad girl's school.

But you, Principal Stevenson, you brought me on board and you trusted me.

And for that,

I'm grateful.

Not as grateful as me.

You kept your word, and you said three days?

You gave it in two.

I just, I, thank you.

You are a miracle. Thank you.

Wire the money to my account. Next time, we'll knock it out in one day.

Already done.

All right.

Well, until next time.
