I'm beautiful.
I like my straw hair,
my bags,
my thin arms,
my prominent collarbones, the trap people.
I'm famous.
My sexual appetite makes me the best lover.
I'm beautiful.
I'm not ugly.
I'm not fucking
well. Says
yes.
Right. Good morning, Miles.
Good morning.
Uh Did you bring your CV?
Biology. A
psychology, a star,
theater studies, a star.
Well, you certainly worked hard for your place at University Miles. Um
Saint Andrews. Was it?
Yes. Well, the requirement entry was a
three A with the Psychology and Biology course.
And you graduated in June with the first.
Well, on you,
the recommendation I received praised you immensely
so much. So I had to see for myself.
Your CV is evident proof
that you would serve this company well, with your presence here.
Thank you.
It's difficult when a father suggests his son
to a potential employer,
especially when they're clients.
I felt the industry was very competitive.
So I felt I needed to take a different approach.
That's true.
The market is incredibly competitive.
Therefore,
it's important to learn the values of the industry and
to build upon the experiences of which you encounter.
I agree
this field of work. Education, be
very
conscientious.
You will have your own office
and you will be sent an email each morning with your duties.
Some of the days you'll be with me, others. You'll be doing your work.
Do you have any questions?
But no, I'm fine. Thank you.
Uh, Jeremy.
Thank you.
Hey, how'd it go
all the best?
It's your first day? You've got to give it a chance.
I just
thought it might be a bit more inspiring.
Um
You've got to start from somewhere and
most times it's from the bottom.
Mm,
Mars.
Good morning.
This
is
from the
Institute of Correctional Mentality.
I'm ringing for Jeremy.
Owa.
Turn me off way.
Yep. I'll put you through
a girl.
How old?
Oh, that's very young. How tragic.
Yes. Yes, that's fine. Three will be good for me.
Ok.
Yes. Thank you. Bye bye
about size.
Yeah.
Send me
today. I've been contacted by Doctor Cassel.
He's the chief doctor at the Leighton Institute for Correctional mentality.
Yes, I transferred his call through before
he has a patient at his facility who is a long term sufferer of depression.
Doctor Cassell
has assigned that patient to us.
Oh, I see.
You are to sit in at a meeting between us at three at the Institute
to discuss the patient's situation
and my, to write a report,
just take notes
if there's anything I've missed.
If I think it's necessary, I'll include them in my report.
Yeah,
that's all.
Mhm.
Dr
Jeremy
Arwa and Miles S
to see Dr Cassell.
Ok. I'll call security to talk you through the regulation.
Hi there, I've got Jeremy out
here
away.
Jeremy Arthen,
chief psychologist on Norton building. Doctor Charles
Cassell. Chief doctor
the M
and play.
Welcome
again. Welcome.
Uh, thank you for meeting with me today.
The patient I have in mind is a severe sufferer of major depression.
She is 21 and was diagnosed with chronic depression when she was 16
by the chief doctor at the Crawley Institute in 2007.
Has there been a significant difference of
severity between her chronic and major depression?
Majorly,
she's been at the Institute for two years.
Her recorded condition previously was controllable
but apparently at the end of a an intense relationship
two years ago,
it formed a whole new level of depression.
What was his name?
Her name
is Anonymous
for safety regulations. We have protected her with a new identity.
Is Alice really that harmful.
She's known to lash out.
We're not sure what she's capable of.
I see.
And what can I do to help
through observation? We have detected that when she wakes each morning at
537
for one hour, she seems able to make sense of what she's saying.
So between 537 and 637
she has one hour of sanity
in her day.
Correct.
I was hoping while she was at her purest moment that
you might be able to have a session with her.
How much of a threat would you be at that time?
Harmless
and maybe a bit of weeping. But we do have 24 hour security on hand just in case
I see in terms of treatment,
how long will I be seeing her until we see some progress?
Then the team will take over from there.
So you can't predict how long
it takes months for a patient to show any progress.
So when do you want us to start the session tomorrow?
Arrive here at 515, so that we can take you through the security procedures
and miles. Will you be joining us?
Oh.
I assume so.
The same applies to you then be here tomorrow morning at 515.
Thank you, Doctor Cassell.
No problem.
See you all tomorrow then.
Yes,
this is a big case, Mars,
especially on the second day of a new employee. Yes.
Well, I, I'm very lucky actually, I studied common depression in university.
Uh We, we, we focused on the behavioral patterns of sort of something with
Deil
not
far from the University of Mars.
But yes, it is distressing for them.
It's the reason why with these situations,
it's crucial that these matters are kept confidential.
Ok,
tomorrow here at 515,
I know it's a tough wake up,
but you can go home early during the day,
especially if it's going to be routine for a while.
Bring your visitor pass
and don't be late.
Mhm.
Shall we begin?
Yeah, cool.
Let's get started.
Ok.
Good morning. Good morning, morning. Good morning.
I assume Dr Cassell has briefed you on this morning's meeting. He has,
I'll take your briefcases,
only take the essentials in
behind here. We'll be observing her behavior.
Further security will be in here. If you need further assistance
at 635 we'll be telling you to wrap it up.
And why is that?
Because you have two minutes to get out before she goes insane.
Ok.
538
in you go.
Good morning, Alice.
I'm Jeremy
Abate and this is miles
s
we just want to have a chat with you.
Do you think you could turn around and face me?
How are you, Alice?
Are you tired? Alice?
I want to talk about what happened two years ago. Alice.
Do you remember
Alice?
Alice? Can you hear me,
Alice
two years ago?
No,
it's
this.
Do you?
635?
You got
the
thing?
What
thick?
We haven't properly chatted yet.
Can we not spare more time?
I think I won't be sparing any more time in here.
Oh,
636.
That was lucky
need to be quicker.
Can I see Doctor Cassell?
I need to discuss this morning's session with him.
How was your session this morning?
She was very unresponsive and completely drained of energy.
Yes. Her fatigue is a major barrier. Unfortunately,
I suppose she can't sleep.
No, not for long. Anyway, a
few hours possibly.
Has she ever mentioned her past her family, friends, her lover.
No, not as a direct answer to our questions. No.
Pardon?
Well, when she has episodes,
it's as though she's reenacting cruel moments of her life.
How so?
Well, a lot of the time she talks in jargon,
certain words like mum or dad, we can identify.
Does this happen often?
It's hard to tell the difference between what is an episode
and what is pure insanity?
I can see this is gonna be a very long progression film.
Of course,
maybe if you continue the sessions for this week,
then you can get an idea of what you're actually working with.
Am I to write a report of the session? No, that's not necessary.
I'll do it this afternoon. Oh, well. Did you want my notes to look over then?
No, that's all right. Miles. I'm sure it'll be ok.
Enjoy the rest of your day. I'll see you tomorrow. Yes. And you, and will you be going?
Mhm
I
depression
ashes.
That's why
ready? Yeah.
Good morning Alice.
Can you turn around and face me, please?
Thank you.
How are you today? Alice?
Yeah,
I asked how you were.
Bye.
Are you nervous?
Can you tell me what school was like when you were 16?
No,
why not?
It?
Huh?
I know he hurts but there's no cause
it's a symptom of major depression,
experiencing pain. But there's no visible cause.
Do you see much of your parents?
No,
no.
Yeah,
man.
Nothing.
Yeah.
Oh,
I am sorry,
gentleman. But we will have to leave this room.
She seems to be having a relapse. So we had to finish.
I'm sorry about this one. But my team observed that she was crushing
if you could all come with me.
Oh,
I'm sorry about that. But uh she hasn't relapsed for a while.
It was quite a test for our team's response time.
That's for sure.
When was the last time she relapsed?
I remember the last relapse. It was really bad.
She was very hysterical and wouldn't let anyone near her.
It was about two months ago.
Not that long ago. Then
it's the longer she's had without a relapse.
How long until we can next year?
I suggest not for a bit.
I think we should observe her in the surveillance room with my team
and perhaps you might be able to pick up something from her body language, of course,
should work
same time tomorrow then.
See you then.
Sorry about today. Miles. I've never set in on a relapse. It's fine.
Do you want me to write a report about it? No, that's ok.
Are you sure? I'd quite like to be more involved if I'm honest.
No, just fulfill your duties
and that'll be all.
See you later.
You're really,
it's 11,
well, 20 minutes earlier than last night.
It's been a tough day,
all the more reason to come home then.
Well, I'm home now.
Sometimes I wonder why you bother coming home.
I'm sorry
that's not working this time. Jeremy, you promise to be around more.
I'm trying my best.
But this case I have, it's always about the word
I'm fed up of being second best.
637. The start of her insanity.
Has she been given her medication yet?
Yes. She's had her first dose of antidepressants. And did you take a note of it?
Uh Yes. Sertraline. Sertraline. I
thought we discontinued that because it worsened her insomnia. She was on
Zylon, which we discontinued because she was brought out in a rash.
Hm.
Try her on
mein
hasn't been tested yet.
Well, when this drug wears off, use it, please,
right?
Why is I ready?
Ok.
Why do you make this up?
You fucking lie. You bastard.
Oh,
you 10
minutes?
Oh,
you live not
down now.
You're fucking Liberian judgment. Can't walk
it out.
Fucking
name.
You're just as fucked as me.
You bum me out
patronizing
I,
you, you the right to
make me feel
you might as well give me no life
change that. Put her on the metal reel. Now, would you,
so
what did you gather from your observation today?
Her behavior doesn't take the full form of a sufferer with severe depression.
Uh So
her behavior takes on the form of severe depression,
but her speech seems completely separated from that
uh she was ranting about me. I hope you realize
apparently I take the piss and treat her as a bit of a joke.
Are you sure it's depression and nothing else? Mr
Awa?
I hope you're not suggesting that a team
of well qualified doctors have misdiagnosed a patient.
I'm not suggesting that at all.
I am suggesting, have you considered the psychotic mind,
the psychotic mind?
It's an abnormal condition of the brain.
The lot of reality, if you like.
Exactly.
She has both
her one hour of sanity is her depression
the rest of the time she's living most of it in a psychotic mind.
You're not in a position to make that judgment. Jeremy. Yes.
Well, I've done my research too
and acting on my professional opinion, I feel would benefit her progression,
test her for psychosis out of the question. Just do it.
I beg your pard.
Well, on behalf of his now
I speak as a secondary opinion
and I agree with him.
No, no, I agree.
And I also think we should have a copy of those papers on our desk.
What papers,
the papers she was writing on when we observed her.
Unless they haven't looked at that enough.
Those papers have been gone through Celts a number of times by my team.
The only thing they can actually identify are despairing poems.
I want a copy of those papers.
I'll send them over
anything else.
No. Thank you for your time
miles,
there's a boundary between personal morals and professionalism.
You acted against your professionalism just now.
II, I was just trying to support you. I mean, we could gain so much with these papers.
Yes, I understand. Miles.
But just for now, all you are doing is shadowing me,
not causing tension between myself and my clients.
Ok.
You must maintain a certain level of formality.
I understand. I'm sorry.
Yes. Ok. That's all right. Miles.
But just don't let your vulnerability take the upper hand,
right?
I must be going see you back at the office.
Bye.
These are so for you.
You can leave them on my desk.
Thank you.
I feel like I'm riding an endless bridge to the other side
and the answer is to the drown.
I
know I was falling with no fear.
Knowing that I be saved.
She has the power to switch off life but is waiting for death to get there first.
My pain will deplete from my heart. Happy world,
injection,
erection,
rejection,
file
cruelty
and faith
law.
I would create a monster and kill it because I am a better rate.
This isn't disease.
This is my fucked up DNA, which isolates me from the so called s
befriended by darkness.
I shut down to the sound of its breathing.
Yeah.
Remember the light?
Well,
well,
you
see,
I
got
so,
ah,
any miles?
Hey, you seemed a little upset before
you. Ok?
Yeah,
I'm sorry.
It's just been quite stressful work.
Yeah,
I know what you mean. Well,
work comes and goes.
You'll get through it.
Everyone copes somehow. It's
just a reality shock, I guess.
Yeah, you, you could call it that
you're a smart guy. Miles. You make me proud.
You'll be fine.
Thanks dad.
I am love,
I am telling.
Right.
Thank
you.
Real reason.
I, I
in
the right in
myself.
The
no,
like it's
different now.
Yes. Yes. Ok. That's fine. Yes.
Sorry, Charles. Um,
can I call you back?
Yeah.
Oh, good. That's great. Ok, thanks. Bye bye.
Good morning, Miles. Good morning.
It was nice to see your keen interest this morning.
Fancied a lion.
No, it's what I want to talk to you about. Actually. Hang on right there.
I understand you feel the need to contribute to this case.
But when you've been here a week, no one's expecting much from you.
Your outburst yesterday cost us our relationship
with the client and our reputation.
Your no show act this morning showed you're not ready for this type of work
disrespecting this opportunity. Has
I'm sorry, but I copied these.
These were confidential. Miles. Yes, but they were confidential.
If I could be working on this case with you.
I need to have the information,
especially if I requested for it.
Get out.
She was here last night.
But when I was going through the papers,
you committed a crime miles a crime. This company finds intolerable.
You who? You're not listening.
She, she isn't telling a story.
She's, she's fictionalizing her life.
Cassell said they were poems. They're, they're not, they,
it's a diary.
It's not sit out like a diary.
It's,
it's abstract
miles. I think you need to go home.
Mhm.
24.
Second.
10,
29th.
Dear me. Look what you've done.
Only Children do that.
Are you a child?
Are you better?
No,
you were never fucking sick to be doing.
Why do you think I'm sick?
I'm sick.
Why are you sick?
Because I'm a fucking joke. Fucking
good morning. Miles.
Good morning.
How are you
today?
Ok. Thank you. And you
distressed Myles
yesterday you told me of an appearance you experienced.
Yeah, by Alice
since
I think you must be right. Miles. It is a diary.
She haunted you last night, didn't she?
Yes,
it was terrifying
what happened.
There were lots of a
all converse with each other about self harm,
almost blaming me
and spitting aggressive because I
mentioned
out of this.
He mentioned strange activity.
I think I was hallucinating.
I think I must be allergic to those painkillers. I took last night. I'm,
I'm very strained and distressed. Don't you see Janet?
This is just a coincidence if it happened to the both of us,
you see Miles. This is what I mean about being vulnerable.
We can make decisions with only half the evidence
we need to see a cell.
Oh,
good morning. What can I do to help you.
Good morning doctor.
We've just come to inquire about papers.
Yes, the papers,
the papers.
When am I not being pestered about papers?
The strange activity we discussed in one of our previous updates.
I understand you need to record them.
Yes, we record hourly.
We need copies of those activity records
from when Alice began writing her diary
copies. Do you realize how many records there are?
And where did this idea of a diary come from? She, she's writing a diary
on Sad Os
Well,
how long has she been writing for then?
Sorry. Um I don't know of her.
Uh She seems to write a page a day.
You failed to mention this when we began this case.
I didn't think the information was relevant. Well, it's his,
I want copies of all those records sent to my office by
this afternoon as well as all recently written entries in her diary.
So we can finally be up to date on this case.
And I want two copies of everything,
right? Miles.
These records will take hours when you have them,
bring them and yourself and meet me in the library opposite my office.
Jeremy.
Jeremy,
she's here.
I killed my soul.
I'm the,
I'm the cause of pain
on the
outside.
I
brought
down the towers.
I won't hold back,
but I'm dragged down. You're coming down with me.
You won't hold back. I will fucking ruin you.
I'm not
sure if you're happy
to see you can,
you
can
fucking breath.
I won't stop. It's too late.
I won't stop until you take mine and see my orange.
That
Jeremy.
Please don't think this is still a hallucination.
Miles
Toby.
You
talk
ma are
you ok?
He's gone.
Have you come up
here? Your
up, you come,
that's it.
Ok?
Take it easy. She's gone.
You OK?
What happened?
OK.
Good lad.
Yeah.
What happens?
Which is definitely not a hallucination.
I'm sorry. I doubted you.
Yes. All.
Are you? Ok.
Huh.
Maybe,
maybe.
Well, uh, well, we'll see. Uh,
did you find anything out before the interrogation
miles? Are you? Ok.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
The more I've read,
the more I feel the things she was saying related to my life.
I felt
disconnected.
I think she's distancing herself from reality.
Yeah, I see what you mean.
It really does get darker.
The activity records
are related to the diary
on Thursday the 19th of July 2012. It was noted
at 11 a.m.
The patient stabbed a fork in her ribs.
She was sedated.
Now, I'm guessing that coincides with the
puncturing
and deflating of confidence,
which is recorded in her diary.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's 5 a.m.
the hell.
What?
Oh my, my papers are
numbers written on them in my
blood.
Jesus.
I don't have any.
Hang on Terry. Are yours? In order
they're in order I received them. Why?
It's just that
on the first of July.
It's got, I am lost.
Yeah, it's got the number 29 room
then
on the second of July we've got, where am I?
I've got the number 28 on.
She's counting down,
counting down to,
to her death.
She is.
Oh, God.
What,
this one has the number two on it.
I only want paige to go until we received the final entry yet. No,
I'll drive us down there before she's dead.
You don't have the authority to do that.
You know, you see yourself. Now we need to see yourself
about unemployment. If you carry on, let them go,
we need to see her. She hasn't woken yet.
Charles, she could be dead if we don't see her. Now the papers,
she's calmed down to her death.
Ok, let's see how she is. Get a paramedic.
Let me sleep.
Miles says yes, you need to come with me.
Why
you helped her? What miles?
Where were you two days ago? At 11:45 p.m. I
was at my house.
No, you weren't.
What are you accusing me of?
Maybe you can explain why all my team are dead.
Uh
uh
I
that
I was like
Gerry,
you were there.
I'm sorry,
Jeremy
told you were there.
Help me,
please. Jeremy.
Come
with me.
He's terrible.
Jeremy help me.
How's he doing?
Ok. He has his bad days.
Mm.
That will
please
to be your
auntie depressed.
I too am prescribed.
He can
just
yes,
we can
back and let
talking
option
car
games are just like big production.
So
right
and please
is a
cake the only tears
when we
right.
Perhaps something
they have.
Hey.
