[melancholic music]

[caris] I've done something unforgivable.

You have too, I'm sure.

And you. And you.

Most of us have, at some point in our lives.

But how do the victims of our transgressions move forward?

Justice.

Justice is necessary for the victim to move on.

Now, justice can be achieved in one of three ways.

Conviction.

By an authority convicting the offender.

Penitence.

By the offender genuinely repenting for what they've done.

And sometimes, revenge.

By the victim settling the score themselves.

All that to say, if any of you

Aren't happy with the grades you receive this semester,

Please don't put sugar in my gas tank.

[students laugh]

[upbeat music]

[chuckles] - hey, caris.

You're home early.

I was trying to surprise you.

- What's all this for anyway?

- I don't know, I just figured that if everything goes

As we hope at the fertility clinic,

We might not have as much time to enjoy

These... Time-consuming meals in the future.

- Right. Well, that is until they're old enough

To stir a pot.

- I may have already planned for that.

[chuckles]

- Oh! This is so cute.

- How are you feeling about tomorrow?

- About finally making you a tiny, little sous chef?

- Mm-hmm. - Very excited.

- Good.

I may have to go to phoenix later this week.

There's a potential investor that I have to wine and dine.

- Well, you're the best winer and diner they've got.

[scoffs] but I will get back

As quickly as I can.

I don't wanna miss anything just 'cause I'm away.

- It's okay. You know, first, they wanna figure out

Why I haven't been able to get pregnant.

I have my theories.

- Of course you did your research here.

- Your quest for knowledge never ends, does it?

- Why do you think I became a professor?

Will you bring me back a chimichanga?

- You got it, future mama.

[chuckling]

[upbeat music]

[caris] an earl grey tea for the lady.

The barista was asking about you again.

- Why do you think I sent you instead?

- Do you not think he's cute? - Well, of course, I do.

- You've been single for years.

- 10, to be exact.

- Yeah, okay, when you can measure in decades,

Maybe it's time to start up again?

- Oh. I don't know if I'm in a state to date.

I'm not sure I ever will be.

- I just think it's a shame to keep

All that wonderfulness to yourself.

- Speaking of wonderful, how's jon?

- He's great. Yeah, he thinks a promotion

Is maybe in the works if he can just secure a few more clients.

- Oh, that's great. - How are things at the station?

- Oh, well, I'm being ordered around like an underling,

As usual. No one respects

The lowly records department clerk.

- You should not let them treat you like that.

Honestly, julia, your job is just as important

As any police officer's.

- You know I like to keep to myself.

- I do, and you could afford to be a little bit

Of a squeakier wheel. - Why should I

When my best friend squeaks enough for the both of us?

- Um, I can't stay that long,

Because I have an intake appointment

At a fertility clinic. - Oh!

- You've been trying for so long.

If anyone deserves to be parents, it's you two.

- Thank you. Yeah, I...

I have a good feeling about this.

- Which clinic are you going to?

- Uh, hope & beginnings fertility.

[chokes]

- Are you okay? - Sorry.

Tea just went down the wrong way.

Uh...

Do you know what doctor you're seeing?

- No, not yet.

- I'm just surprised you wouldn't go

To a clinic in the city. I mean, I'm sure they've got

Much higher success rates.

- Hope & beginnings has one of the best success rates

In the country, or so I've heard.

- I just want you to get the best care possible.

- Of course.

Is everything all right?

- Definitely. I'm just thinking

About some computer bugs at work.

[chuckles]

- Oh, I'm so sorry, I've gotta run.

But um... Good luck with that infestation.

- Bye.

[orchestral music]

- Good morning, caris. I'm dr. Marrick,

The lead physician here at hope & beginnings.

- Nice to meet you. - Likewise.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you our clinic

Has an impressively high pregnancy success rate.

- So I've heard. That's why I'm here.

- Excellent. Um, well, look,

If you follow my plan precisely,

I promise you, you will have the child you always wanted.

- I hope so. - Excellent.

First, we need to determine

If there's any physiological barriers to you

Becoming pregnant. So, I always conduct a thorough pelvic exam.

- Sure. Uh, I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

- Excellent.

Lie back.

- Oh.

- Legs up.

[clears throat]

[water running in sink]

Excellent. [caris sighs]

Now you may feel a little pressure.

- Mm-hmm.

- Just breathe and relax.

[exhales sharply]

There you are.

Excellent. Do you feel any pain?

- No, it's okay.

- I must say, you have beautiful legs.

[low tense music]

[heart pounding]

Any pain here?

[gasps]

[clears throat] everything looks great.

Just have my secretary make an appointment

For cycle monitoring.

[melancholic music]

- Oh, my god.

[sniffles]

[worrying music]

[footsteps receding]

Oh, my god...

[sniffles]

- Hey.

- Hey! - Come with me.

- All right.

[sighs] - listen.

If you don't want charges pressed,

I suggest you stay away in the future.

And no follow-up required.

[dramatic music]

- Hello. I'd like to report a sexual assault.

- I'll take this.

Do you mind coming with me, please?

- Caris.

I should have come with you. I should have been there.

- It's okay, you couldn't have known.

- I'm so sorry. - You're here now.

- This way, please.

Please, take a seat.

My name's detective corali. You are...?

- Um... Professor caris carter.

- What brings you in?

- I was sexually assaulted by dr. Marrick

At hope & beginnings fertility.

- Just tell me what happened.

- I went in for a consultation

And he gave me a pelvic exam.

- Did you consent to the exam?

- Whoa, what are you trying to say?

- I'm just trying to establish a chain of events.

- It's all right, jon.

Yes, I consented to the exam.

But not what happened during it.

- What did he do?

- I can't say exactly because he put up a sheet between us,

But I know that it wasn't right.

It was wrong.

It was inappropriate.

I wanted to do something, but I...

I just froze.

- Then what happened? [jon] you could stand

To be a little more empathetic.

- I'm very sorry for what happened to you, professor.

Thank you.

I found a hidden camera in the ceiling.

And it went to a laptop with streams from every room.

- We'll certainly investigate. We'll need a warrant, of course.

- I hope you're sending someone over there right now.

- Well, we're currently experiencing a, uh...

Paperwork backlog from non-emergency cases,

But I assure you that we'll get on it as soon as we can.

- How is this not an emergency?

- I just mean that it's not a... A case of life or death.

- Look, if you're not gonna do anything,

I'm gonna go to that clinic myself!

- Jon. - And deal with that monster!

[caris] jon, please.

I'm sure detective corali is going to find

The right evidence and see justice is done.

- I'll be right back.

- He's not gonna help us.

- We have to believe that he will.

Okay?

[heavy sigh]

[soft music]

[julia on phone] which doctor was it?

- Marrick.

Why? Have there been other reports

Filed against him in the past? - Nothing that's ever stuck.

[caris sighs] I'm so sorry

This happened to you.

I should have never let you go to that clinic.

- This is not your fault that this happened to me.

- I should have insisted.

- This is nobody's fault but dr. Marrick's.

- You should go public.

Drag his name through the mud. - What?

[scoffs] julia, that's so unlike you.

- I mean... I'm sure there's other victims.

- You don't even share your deepest,

Darkest secrets with me,

But you want me to share this with the whole world?

- You're braver than me. You could make a real impact.

- I'm not so sure I'm that brave.

- All I know is that there are hundreds and hundreds

Of cases filed away in boxes in my department,

Just like this.

Someone has to make it stop.

[doorbell chimes]

[footsteps approaching]

- Detective corali, please come in.

- Thank you. - I'm just gonna get jon.

- All right. - Oh.

- You finally have some news for us?

- Oh, I'm just stopping by to let you know

That we had some officers go by

The hope & beginnings fertility clinic

To investigate your claims of hidden cameras.

- Claims? [scoffs]

- Allegations.

- And? What did they find?

- Well, nothing suspicious. - Yeah, of course, they didn't.

That quack had days to get rid of any evidence.

- Jon. Please, go on.

- Well, dr. Marrick gave us access

To everything that we wanted to see.

- And you didn't find any cameras in any of the rooms?

- Well, the officer did note that the ceilings

Had been freshly painted.

But dr. Marrick explained that they had had some water damage.

[scoffs] - and they believed him.

- We can only work with what we've got in front of us.

- Yeah, well, maybe if you had headed there right away

Instead of sitting around-- - babe, I'm sure

They got the warrant as quickly as they possibly could.

- We couldn't have investigated legally any sooner.

- I'm starting to think legally

Isn't the way to get anything done.

- Jon, please. - I know that this can be

A frustrating process.

- Yeah, that's an understatement.

- So, what else can we do?

- Well, unless we have solid evidence or more allegations,

There's not much that we can do.

And the case really won't stand up in court without them.

[sorrowful music]

[heavy sigh]

[sighs]

- Professor carter! Renee martin of wcme news.

Do you have any response to your social media post

About dr. Marrick going viral? - It went viral?

- What would you like to say to other potential victims?

- Um...

I see you, I hear you.

I swear I will get justice for all of us

And we will have our day in court.

Thank you. - Uh, professor carter.

[pensive music]

[sighs]

- I mean, the messages just keep coming in.

And so do the trolls. - Trolls?

- He has a lot of influence in this town.

You know, some people are angry.

And predators will always, always find protection.

- What are the victims saying?

- Most of them had similar experiences.

You know, they felt something was wrong about the way

He conducted his examination, but none of them had any proof.

- I'm sure they even second-guessed themselves.

- Well, he certainly found ways to make it seem

Like everything was routine.

- I bet none of those women

Thought that someone in his position

Could do something like that.

- No, they thought he could be trusted.

- If you hadn't found that hidden camera--

- But we don't have any proof.

I know that footage exists, but we just don't have it.

- What are you going to do with all these victims messaging you?

- I... I started a private support group.

Invited them to my classroom for an initial meeting.

- Can I come?

- I would love to have you there. Yes, thank you.

- Of course.

Welcome, everyone,

And thank you so much for coming.

My background in social work is counselling,

So I've spent a lot of time helping people that have...

That have been through traumatic experiences.

I'm hopeful that this group will allow us

To lean on each other and...

Find ways to overcome what's been done to us.

[soft sombre music]

I will do whatever I can to protect you

And prevent something like this from ever happening again.

But I need your help, too.

If anyone is able, I would love for you to come forward

To the police with me to share your story.

Together we can make our case against dr. Marrick

Even stronger.

If you're willing,

I promise to support you through the process.

And regardless, I want to ensure

That he is put away for a long, long time.

All right. Let's get started.

- That was a great first session.

- Yeah. - You're stronger

Than I've ever been.

- Well, your being here gave me strength. Thank you.

- Yeah, of course.

I'll see you later. - I'll see you soon. Bye.

Hi.

Um, I gave you my full statement yesterday.

- I'm not here professionally.

Unfortunately, I have a personal stake in this story, too.

[exhales]

- I'm so sorry. - Mm-hmm.

For years, I questioned whether what he did to me

Was all just in my head. - Well, he was...

Very careful at covering his tracks

While gaslighting his victims.

- Thank you for bringing us all together.

- Of course.

I hope that we can help each other in the future.

There are more sessions coming up.

- Personally, it would make me feel better

To see these monsters suffer like we have.

- Well, if more people come forward to the police with me,

He can suffer in prison.

[jon] it's not too late for me to cancel.

[caris] no, I'm fine.

I can handle myself. You know that.

- Sometimes I wish you'd lean on me more, you know that?

- Like this?

- I'm being serious. [caris laughs]

We've hardly spoken about what happened.

[pensive music]

- I don't have much more to say.

- You know you could talk to me about anything, right?

- Yeah, of course.

And I love you for it.

[heavy sigh]

- Maybe you should see someone to help you cope.

- I'm on a mission.

That's how I cope.

You gotta go. You're gonna miss your flight.

- I know, I know.

- Good luck. - Stay safe, please.

- I will. Knock 'em dead.

- I love you. - Love you.

[knocking on door]

- Professor carter?

- Uh, hi.

I don't have any appointments in my calendar. I'm...

I'm sorry if I missed it. - I don't have an appointment,

But I need to speak to you. - Oh yeah, please. Take a seat.

- Okay.

I didn't wanna message you or e-mail you

Because I don't wanna have any record of this conversation.

[sorrowful music]

I knew the allegations against him,

But my embryos were already at the clinic.

- Dr. Marrick.

A woman came to see me today.

She saw dr. Marrick on Friday.

[julia] he's still doing this

After everything that's happened?

After the police turned his office upside down.

After the media harassed him for a statement.

- He's never gonna stop.

- He's just gonna keep on hurting women.

- Until someone stops him.

- Somebody has to do something.

Confront him.

Make him see how his actions are affecting these women.

- Do you really think a person like that can be reasoned with?

- Somebody's gotta try.

- Do you want me to come over later?

We could watch a movie or do something.

- I have something I have to do tonight.

[sighs]

[he drops his keys.]

[grunts] [car beeps]

[car engine starting]

[sinister music]

[grunts]

No. No, no, no.

[train horn blaring]

Marrick!

[tense music]

[panting] marrick!

[grunts]

Come on! Get up!

[panting]

I'm not letting you off that easy.

[train horn blaring]

Come on! [horn blaring]

[grunts]

[breathing nervously]

[soft music]

[phone rings]

Hello? Hi, honey.

[jon] oh, hey, sweetie, how are ya?

Uh, I'm good. How was your night?

- Good. Quiet. What about yours?

- It was... It was great.

Great.

Uh, julia came over. - Oh, nice.

Nice. So, she's taking good care of you while I'm away?

- Of course.

- Everything all right? - With what, me?

- Yes. Yes, with you,

Unless there's someone else there.

- No! [nervous laugh]

Of course not.

[sighs] - you sound stressed, sweetie.

[sighs] - I just, um...

I have a bunch of papers to grade.

- Oh. I thought they weren't handing them in until next wee.

- Uh, it's another paper.

A pop quiz. I, um...

I gave it to them yesterday.

[jon sighs]

- You don't sound yourself at all. I knew I shouldn't have

Gone on this business trip.

- I'm fine!

[exhales] I'm fine.

- I could come home if you need me, you know that.

- No! No. [nervous chuckle]

I mean, of course, I...

I always need you. I just, I'm, I'm really... I'm okay.

[loud thump]

- What was that?

[worrying music]

- What was what?

- Nothing.

It must have been on my end.

- I really gotta get ready for class.

- Yeah. Yeah, no, I am about to step

Into my next meeting as well. - Okay, good lucky, honey.

I love you. - I love you too.

- Bye. - Bye.

[thumping continues]

[thumping continues]

[heavy thumping]

[marrick] let me outta here!

[thumping]

Please!

[eerie music]

[door creaking]

[thumping] [exhales]

Where am I?

- Somewhere you can't hurt anyone else.

- That's really funny.

The person who's got me locked up

Accusing me of hurting people.

- The damage you've done is worse

Than any kind of physical pain.

- What do you know about what I've done?

- 'cause you're not unique.

Men like you abusing their positions of power.

Taking advantage of desperate women.

[scoffs] unfortunately,

It happens all the time.

- I don't need to defend myself to anyone.

If you think what I've done is so wrong,

Turn me over to the police. Let them handle it.

- Not until you confess.

The patients you assaulted.

- Assaulted?

[grumbles] I gave them a reason to live.

They all have the children they so desperately wanted now.

- At the cost of traumatizing them?

- I've done nothing wrong.

Please let me out of here. Please!

- Why do you care about being free?

Last night you were ready to die.

You gave them what they wanted

More than anything?

- You have no idea how I'm suffering right now.

They should be grateful.

I'm being crucified for making their dreams come true!

- You're disgusting.

- Yeah, and what are you?

Person who's got me locked up down here?

Threaten me with a bat. What does that make you?

- I am protecting them from a monster.

- I only see one monster here.

- You know one of the ways a victim

Can get a sense of justice...

Is if the perpetrator truly repents.

[scoffs]

[chuckles]

I can see now they're never gonna get that from you.

- Oh yeah, you can see that?

You're funny.

How careful were you at that crossing?

You don't seem like a pro in those heels

So I'm gonna assume that you didn't cover your tracks.

Right?

Right?!

[scoffs]

[door creaking]

They're gonna be coming for you!

[nervous breathing]

- Okay...

[soft music]

[julia] are you okay, caris?

You seem shaken up.

Has something happened? [caris] no, no, I'm fine.

I promise. It's just been a tough day.

- Very important when you're delivering a punch

That you keep your thumb on the outside of your fist.

This will prevent it from breaking.

- This was not supposed to be part of the agenda.

- And remember, you're going to want to punch them

In the chin, side of the jaw, or the temple.

And if you'd like to learn more then please,

Join me at the self-defence class that I'm hosting

For the group next week. Okay.

I'd like to open it up to the floor now for anyone

Who would like to share.

- I can start. - Paula, please. Go ahead.

- I wanna get pregnant again, but I'm scared.

- That is completely normal.

- Caris, so glad you could join. [caris] of course.

Um, please, go on.

- Marrick took so much from me with what he did,

And um... He's taking my chance

At having a family, too.

- It's natural to be scared to see a new fertility doctor,

But one individual's terrible act...

[phone notification] ...Does not define

The whole group. - You could find

A female doctor.

There's a few of them in the city.

[julia] they found his car.

Oh. I'm so sorry.

This was paula's time. I... I shouldn't have interrupted.

- Let's all keep our focus on paula.

Paula, you were saying.

- I have to get back to work. - Yeah, of course.

Let's talk soon. - Yes, bye.

- Bye. - Thank you.

- I didn't realize we were encouraging violence here.

- Oh, not violence, self-defence.

I just wanted to show them some of the tactics

That I've learned over the years.

- I'm just not sure that's the best use of our time here.

I mean, this group is for support, not combat.

- If I overstepped, I am so sorry.

- Let's just discuss the agenda before the next meeting.

- Of course.

- I really do appreciate you putting this meeting together.

It's good to have you by my side.

I have to run, I've got somewhere to be,

But I'll see you soon.

[soft tense music]

[insects chirping]

I hope these are his keys.

[keys jingling]

[keypad beeping]

[sighs]

[she zips the backpack.]

[sombre music]

[footsteps approaching]

[door opens]

[suspenseful music]

[alarm activation]

[alarm beeps rhythmically]

[car beeps]

[car door opens, closes]

[car engine starts]

[pensive music]

Some of the women on this list

Are from our group, but there are others that aren't.

- Oh. Have you been in touch with the others?

- Mm-hmm. Not one of them was willing to talk about marrick.

Most of them just wanted to hang up as quickly as possible.

- Hmm, yeah, I know all too well

How that feels in my line of work.

- I know if I could just present the cops with something,

They'd have to take action.

- I admire your positive approach.

My optimism died a long time ago.

Probably keeps you doing the right thing.

- I hope so.

- Where did you get this list anyway?

- I have my sources.

- Must be very convenient having a best friend

Who works for the police department.

- Oh, this did not come from her.

She would never break the rules.

- The fact that it was previously shredded

Makes me feel like it wasn't entirely legal.

Which doesn't bother me, at all.

[chuckles]

I have to head out.

Going to the scene where they found marrick's car.

- What are you doing out there?

- I'll take some photos for the story that I'm writing

And see if the cops missed anything.

- Can I come?

- Uh... - To help you search?

I mean, four eyes are better than two.

[chuckles] - sure, why not?

- I'll drive. - Hmm, even better.

[chuckling]

[pensive music]

Looks like there's not much to see here.

- And there's been no sign of him since?

- Not according to the reports.

Probably just wanted to stage his own death.

My money is on him being on a tropical beach somewhere.

- I'm sure he didn't get very far.

- You find something interesting?

- No, it's just a...

An old railway spike.

- Well, this was a bust.

- Looks like it.

- Uh, I do have one more assignment while I'm out here.

- What's that?

- My family has a cabin not too far away.

Just wanted to swing by and see if the storm a few nights ago

Took down any trees. - Of course, yeah, let's go.

[distant barking]

- Okay.

Doesn't look like there's any damage.

- That's good.

Uh... Where are you going?

- I don't have any keys!

Watch your step. - Great.

- Oh. Okay.

[chuckling] ooh, come on up.

- Oh, wow.

- My whole family uses this place.

- It's incredible.

- You want some hot cocoa? - Sure.

[calm music] [laughing]

How did you get so good at impressions?

- Uh... When you have a youth like mine,

Sometimes it's easier to pretend to be someone else.

- Without sounding too much like a social worker,

Do you wanna talk about it?

- It's a...

Has a tale as old as time.

When I was a teenager,

I was assaulted at a party

By a college student.

- I'm so sorry that happened to you.

- I went through the whole process,

Relived it over and over again in court.

The lawyers painted me out to be a teen alcoholic,

And the judge said that he didn't wanna ruin

This guy's future with a harsh sentence.

[heavy sigh]

So, he got away with barely

A slap on the wrist.

- That's awful.

- So... I took some friends down

To where he worked, and we protested

With signs until he got fired.

And then, we took our protests to his building

Until he got evicted, and he left the state.

And then, I had a web developer make a webpage

Saying everything that he had done to me,

So that for the rest of his life,

Whenever anybody searches his name,

That is the first result.

- Wow. [soft chuckle]

- You know, that's when I realized

The people have power.

You get enough of them fired up

And they can make real change.

- Is that why you became a journalist,

To make real change? - No.

To get people fired up.

[sinister music] [birds chirping]

[grunts, exhales]

Hey.

I didn't wanna wake you.

You looked like you really needed the sleep.

- What time is it?

- Uh, it's just after 9.

- I... I have to go.

- Do you have class this morning or...?

- Uh...

It's a special project.

Yeah.

I completely forgot, I gave you a ride out here.

- You know, my cousins are coming up later.

I'll catch a ride home with them.

- Okay, great. - Okay.

- And thanks again, for everything.

- You're welcome. - I'll talk to you later.

- Bye!

[knocking on door]

[det. Corali] mrs. Carter!

[he keeps knocking.]

[birds chirping]

- Oh.

- Mrs. Carter.

- Detective corali, hi.

- Sorry for the intrusion. Um...

[clears throat] I thought I heard some voices

Around back. - Oh, um, I was on a video call.

And I was gonna call you this afternoon,

Just to see if you have any updates on my case.

- I'm actually here to speak with your husband.

- Oh, uh, why would you need to speak with him?

- I'd like to ask him some questions about dr. Marrick.

Well, maybe you don't know. Dr. Marrick has gone missing.

- No, no, I hadn't heard that.

- And as you know, your husband uttered some threats

Against dr. Marrick at the station last week.

[scoffs] - uttered threats?

- He said that he would deal with dr. Marrick himself.

[exhales] - clearly, jon was just upset.

He would never hurt anyone.

And besides, he's in phoenix this week.

He won't be home till the weekend.

- Ah, well, I don't have much to go on,

So I gotta follow up on every little lead.

- I hope you're pursuing my case

With the same attention to detail.

- If I could get jon's number,

I'd still like to speak with him.

- Of course. - If you wouldn't mind

Writing it down for me.

- Sure.

There you go. - Thank you.

I just have to get back to work. - Yeah, oh, before you do,

Would you mind telling me where you were on Monday

When dr. Marrick disappeared?

- Uh, I... I was at home.

With julia, your records clerk.

- Thank you.

[tense music]

- Have a good day.

- All right.

I'll be in touch.

- I hope so.

[door opens, closes]

[door creaking]

[groaning]

What did you do? What happened?

[grunting]

[panting]

Oh, my god...

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[coughs, groans]

- Ugh, you're just sitting there watching me?

You're the real sociopath, aren't you?

- You would know best how a sociopath behaves.

[scoffs] - I became a doctor

Because I... I deeply...

I deeply care about helping people.

- Is that the lie you tell yourself

While you continue to harm your patients?

- I already told you, I haven't hurt anyone.

I took an oath to do no harm. - Yeah, you did.

But do you have any idea the psychological

And emotional damage you've done?

[chuckles] - when most patients

Come to my clinic, they're depressed after years

Of not conceiving. When they leave with healthy pregnancies,

They're happier than they've ever been in their life.

- They may be happy to be pregnant,

But they are still scarred by what you've done.

- Well, the good feelings far outweigh anything else.

- Oh, so you admit.

You admit we leave with bad feelings.

- Don't twist my words. I didn't say that.

- You took an oath to cause no harm,

Yet you have caused more harm than you could possibly imagine,

So I'm gonna give you a chance

To make up for some of the hurt you've caused.

- Oh yeah?

How's that?

- Tell me where those recordings are.

- I don't know about any recordings.

- I am warning you, do not waste this opportunity.

- For the 100th time, I've done nothing wrong!

- Oh, and I'm the sociopath.

- Those women, they came to me willingly.

- They came for your help.

- And I helped them, didn't I?

Ask me what my pregnancy success rate is.

It's the highest in the state!

- Nobody cares about your stupid success rate.

- Touching women is a part of my job.

If they have a problem with that, that's on them.

[tense music]

You're one of them, aren't you?

- Tell me where the recordings are!

- I recognize those eyes. Yeah.

- I know you didn't destroy them.

You're too depraved for that. - I got it.

Caris carter, the delusional patient

That threatened me on the news.

- Right. - Right. So brave.

- Do the right thing. Tell me where those recordings are.

You can start to atone for everything you've done.

- I haven't done anything wrong.

Your husband,

He called me at the clinic last week.

He threatened to kill me. [caris laughs]

- I'm sure the list of people that want you dead

Is incredibly long. - Yeah, you keep laughing.

Luckily, we record every phone call at the clinic.

I told the orderly about it.

I'm sure he's already handed those recordings over

To the police in light of my sudden disappearance.

Won't be too long before they start putting it together.

Thinking I was murdered by some delusional patient

Or their psychotic husband.

Huh? Think about that!

This is your last chance.

Tell me where the recordings are.

[doorbell chimes]

- That's the police, isn't it? Help!

Help! It's dr. Marrick! Help, I'm down here!

Help!

[knocking on door]

[relieved sigh] - julia.

- Hi! - Hey! What are you doing here?

- Oh, caris, you're bleeding.

- Oh. I, um...

I tripped in the basement.

I must have scraped my hand on the wall.

- I keep telling you, those floors need

To be levelled down there. Let me just take a look.

- Oh no, I'm fine.

Um, I'm just in the middle of something. Can we talk later?

- Middle of what?

- Grading papers.

- In the basement?

- I had to go and get a...

It's not important, but I really have to get back to it.

- I just wanted to bring you a lead.

I've been doing some digging on marrick in our records.

- Uh-huh. - And it turns out, his orderly,

Rodney, has been working with him for over a decade.

He could be involved.

- I'm sure that he is.

- If you go talk to him, please be safe.

He's been accused of assault in the past.

- Yeah, that seems to fit him well.

- Please be careful.

- I will. - Okay.

[distant thumping] [marrick] help! I'm down here!

[eerie music]

What was that?

- Um...

The neighbours, fighting again.

- Okay. I'll let you get back to it.

- Okay. - Mm-hmm.

Do you think marrick's dead?

- He'll turn up alive. I'm sure of it.

Thanks for coming. - Bye.

- Bye.

[exhales]

I can't have you making a break for it again.

Not when I'm so close to finding that evidence.

- There is no evidence.

- Funny, 'cause I've just gotten some information

That gives me the feeling that I'm getting very close.

- Your pathetic tactics to get me to talk are not gonna work.

- Tell me about rodney.

- Rodney who?

- The muscle you call an orderly.

- I have no clue who you're referring to.

- I am not messing around.

[sniffles] - he's one of my most

Loyal employees.

- Why would he follow you so blindly?

- He respects me. [caris laughs]

- That's definitely not it.

Why would a guy like that do your bidding?

He's obviously not afraid of you.

Unless he's profiting off the arrangement.

And it must be a lot.

- Wow.

For a professor, you're not very smart.

- He has an awfully nice watch for an orderly.

- I got no idea how he spends his money.

- I'm gonna find out. [marrick sighs]

And I'm pretty sure that's gonna be the beginning

Of the unravelling of all of this.

- This charade has gone on long enough.

How long do you plan on keeping me down here?

- Till I find what I'm looking for.

And thanks to you, rodney's my next stop.

- Right.

Well, if the police don't find me, rodney will.

And for your sake,

You'd better hope it's the police.

Rodney's got a violent streak.

- I'm not afraid of him.

- Well, you should be.

[sombre music]

[phone rings]

- Hey, honey. [jon] hey, sweetie.

Turns out I'll be coming home a little earlier than planned.

- Oh yeah?

Why is that?

- Well, I, uh...

Have a confession to make.

The police wanna ask me

Some questions about dr. Marrick.

- I know. - You do?

- Detective corali came by to discuss the threats

You made about marrick at the station.

- Look, I was just angry. - I know.

That's what I said to him. - That guy's got it out for me.

- Well, baby, you haven't exactly been

Making his job any easier. - Well, why should I?

What's he even done? [sighs]

- Did you... Call the clinic

And threaten marrick?

[scoffs]

- Do the cops know about that, too?

- Not yet, I don't think.

- Look... I did. All right? I just...

I was just so angry the day

Detective corali came by. I just...

I just needed to do something.

- I completely understand.

But why didn't you just tell me?

- Taking justice into your own hands

Is everything you stand agains.

- Right. - Listen.

I'll be home soon and I'll make you feel better. I promise.

- Okay.

Talk to you later. - Okay. Whoa, hang on.

How did you know that I called the clinic?

Hello, sweetie?

[worried sigh]

- Thank you for letting us host

The next meeting here on such short notice.

- Of course.

Wouldn't wanna let fumigation at the university

Keep us from coming together. [soft chuckle]

[low tense music]

Do you remember rodney,

The orderly at the clinic? - Uh yeah.

How could I forget that meathead?

When I went back to reception

To make a complaint about marrick,

He pretty much threw me out of the door.

[sighs] - I'm so sorry.

Did you ever go to a different fertility clinic after?

- Oh, no. This was more than 10 years back

When marrick had a gynecology practice in the city.

- Oh.

- The others should be here soon. I'll go get

The rest of the stuff from the car?

- Sounds good.

- Hey!

[grunting]

Come here!

[grunting]

- Get off me, you banshees!

[thudding blow]

- No, stop! Stop! Stop!

I've got a plan. Trust me.

- Oh, god...

Do you wanna share why you have dr. Fricking marrick

In your house? - I can explain.

- People think he's dead!

They have been looking for him for days!

- I followed him from the clinic one night.

I found him on the tracks. He was going to kill himself.

- And you didn't let him? - And let him have

The easy way out?

- It would have released us from our pain!

- That is not true and we both know it.

- So instead, you decided to tie him up

And make him a prisoner in your basement?

- Look, I know how it sounds.

- It sounds like you're looking for trouble,

And now, I'm in trouble because he's seen me, too.

- Look, I just need more evidence.

I will hand him over to the cops. I couldn't have him

Walking around, or worse, practising medicine

While we wait around for them to find enough evidence

To put him away. - They have no intention

Of finding evidence. - Which is why I am gonna

Find it for all of us.

- This is not a fairy tale caris.

You have a psychopath tied up in your house.

- I can't let him go.

Not until I have solid proof or I will lose everything.

[pensive music]

- Everyone already thinks he could be dead.

What if we just make that story come true?

Come on, don't pretend that you wouldn't love to see him dead.

- I want justice for all of us.

- How many times do I have to tell you,

You are never gonna find that in the system?

Just help me put him back into the basement,

Just until I get the recordings.

- Yeah, you know where they are? - Yes! I do.

And I could really use your help getting them.

Please, just help me.

I'm so close.

- Oh, god. Fine! Fine.

Let's just put him back downstairs.

- Yes. Okay. - Okay.

[marrick groans] - on three.

He takes the laptop home with him every night.

So, we don't have much time. - Is the basement going to keep

Marrick secure for long enough?

- I hope for our sake it does.

- Good thing the group didn't mind us cancelling last minute.

[sighs]

So, you think that rodney carries the video recordings

Around with him all day?

- What better way to ensure no one gets their hands on them

Than if they're always with him?

Marrick himself said he never leaves evidence behind.

- But how do you know it's the same laptop?

- It looked identical to the one I saw in his office.

If I can open it and see a smiley face sticker on it,

I'll know it's the right one.

[sighs] and then, all I have to do

Is copy the files.

- Just take the whole laptop.

- Then he'd know I had the evidence.

I don't wanna give him an advantage.

- This is a wild plan.

Don't get me wrong, I love wild plans, but...

Okay. This one is especially out there.

- This is my last chance to get those recordings.

- Do you really think it'll make a difference?

I'm positive that marrick will never see

The inside of a jail cell, even with the recordings.

- This is gonna put him away for a long time. I promise you.

I'd better hurry before he leaves with that backpack.

- Wait. Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?

- No, I need you to keep a lookout.

- Hey.

Good luck.

[insects chirping]

[beep]

[suspenseful music]

[stressful music]

- Oh, my god.

[footsteps approaching]

Yes!

[relieved sigh]

[she zips the backpack.]

[phone notification]

[dramatic music]

- I told you not to come back here!

- Go, go, go, go, go, go! - Go? Close the door.

[tires screeching away]

Ooh! That was a rush!

[chuckles]

- I can't believe we got it.

- If that's the kinda fun you always have,

We need to hang out more often. [laughs]

- Hey. I am taking this usb

And marrick straight to the cops,

First thing in the morning.

- You may need to spike his orange juice

To get him to go with you willingly.

- I think now I can convince him to do the right thing.

- You're a good person, caris.

- Thank you.

I'll let you know how it goes.

- Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you?

- I can do this alone.

[soft music]

[distant loud thud]

[marrick] what are you doing?

Help! [renee] shut up!

[indistinct conversation]

[marrick] you have to let me go!

- I warned you! - Help!

- Shut up. - Please!

- Renee.

What are you doing?

- We both know that you're never gonna convince this scumbag

To cooperate and go to the police.

- I'll go with you to the police, I swear on my life.

- Yeah, what is your life worth? Even less than your word.

- Do the right thing, caris.

Take me to the cops. Let them handle it.

Please! - Shut-- no, shut up,

Will you? Shut up!

- Okay, what exactly is your plan here?

- I'm... Gonna make him disappear,

For real, this time.

- You can't be serious.

- It is the only way that we can ensure

That he gets what he deserves! - It's not for us to decide.

- He has too much to answer for.

Even the harshest punishment.

Come on, that wouldn't be enough.

- Please don't do this, okay? You are making a huge mistake.

- You're a good person, caris. I really do think that,

And you're too good to deal with scum like him.

- Okay, please don't. Please, just stop.

- No. - Stop.

Ah! - Get off him, would you?

[yelps]

[thud]

[groans]

[heart pounding] [exhales]

I'm so sorry, caris.

I have to do this.

[sinister music]

[knocking on door]

[groans]

[knocking continues]

[pounding on door]

- I've been calling you all night! Are you all right?

- Julia.

- What is going on?

- Marrick. I need your phone.

- Marrick?

What is going on?

- I'm gonna need to take your phone with me.

- With you, where?

- I don't wanna get you involved.

- Well, guess what? I'm already involved!

- I'm gonna have to call the cops later, okay?

And my phone got smashed. - Smashed? The cops?

Caris, you have blood all over you again!

You need to tell me the whole story.

- I don't have time, okay? I have to go.

- Well... Then I'm coming with you.

- No! It's too dangerous.

- All the more reason for you not to go alone.

- Fine. I'll explain on the way. We gotta go.

[soft tense music]

[jon] hey, caris?

You still up?

I signed the client in record time

So I came home early to celebrate.

Honey?

Caris?

[dramatic music]

Caris?!

[dialling]

Detective, it's... It's jon pollock.

I just came home, my wife's missing...

And there's blood on the floor.

[marrick screams]

- I knew she'd take him here.

We need to approach the situation just right.

We don't wanna spook her. [phone rings]

No! Don't answer it!

I don't want the cops here just yet.

- This feels like the perfect situation

For the cops to be involved in.

- I know I can convince renee to do the right thing.

[sighs] - what if you can't?

- I have to.

[phone continues to ring]

[she cancels the call.]

- I will ask you again.

Do you feel any remorse

For the hurt that you have caused?

For the lives that you have ruined?!

- So upset.

They should be thanking me.

[laughs]

- Wrong answer.

[thudding blows] [marrick grunts]

- What?

- Hey, stay back!

- She's gonna kill him!

- Yeah, if we don't stop her.

- We can't just walk in there. She's about to boil over.

- I know a way in.

I need you to be my plan b, okay?

If things sound like they're starting to get crazy,

Then call the cops. Okay?

[long exhale] - okay.

- Doesn't matter if you regret what you did,

This will end the same for you either way.

Caris?

- Oh, get this psychopath away from me!

- Oh, that's rich, coming from you.

Renee, just... Just stop.

- Why should I stop? Hmm? He never did.

- This is not the way for you to get the justice you deserve.

- And what do you suggest?

I let the system handle it? - Yes, exactly.

- The statute of limitations has expired on what he did to me.

None of the women from the group are gonna come forward with you.

No one is gonna give us the justice that we deserve.

I have to take it for all of us.

- What about the evidence that we have, hmm?

This? This is gonna put him away.

- Even if they accept that evidence,

We have to go through the trial,

Reliving every trauma over and over again.

Or more than we already do every day!

- Look, I know the system fails so many,

But if we stick together and we support each other through it,

He will be held accountable. And then we can heal.

- But he won't suffer like we have.

I need to make him suffer.

- I'm not gonna let you. - Caris.

I don't wanna hurt you again. - So, don't!

Let all the hurting stop.

[door crashes open] - get away from him!

[tense music]

Don't do anything stupid.

- It's rodney, right?

- That doesn't matter.

- Look, I know you've crossed a lot of lines for this man.

Don't let murder be one of them.

If you just leave right now, it's like you were never here.

Okay? Stop protecting him and he'll go down alone.

- Don't listen to her, rodney. They got the recordings.

- Huh. So that's why you were at the clinic sneaking around.

- Exactly. If they go to the cops, we're both going down,

So finish this.

- I guess I'm gonna have to kill you both.

[chuckles]

[cocks gun]

- Tie him up.

It's clear now what we have to do.

- I think this has gone far enough.

Just... Give me your phone and I'll call the police.

- We need to kill them both.

- No, no, no, please. Please don't do this.

- It's not too late to call the cops.

We can explain everything.

- I'm not worried about our punishment.

I'm more concerned with theirs, and it's the type of punishment

That cops can't provide.

- It's not up to us to get our own justice.

- Don't you see? This... This is...

It's like fate brought me here.

After running from him in my mind

For more than 10 years, here he is! Yeah.

- Let him be the one to rot in jail, okay?

For a long time, I promise you.

- I've researched the conviction rates for people like him.

Hmm. He needs to never have the opportunity

To do this again.

Not a chance to be out on bail. Not the chance of early parole.

He needs to stop existing. - No!

[grunting]

I'm not gonna let you do this! - Get off me!

[panting]

[grunting]

- No!

- Help me! Help me! I can't do this alone!

- Wait!

Get off of her!

[screams]

Come here.

Caris. Caris, are you okay?

- I'm all right.

[renee] I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry.

You were right all along. [caris] it's okay.

- I'm so sorry! - It's okay.

I'm all right. We're gonna be all right.

[sobbing]

[marrick] I know you, don't I?

- What?

- You're julia, right?

[sorrowful music]

Yeah. Julia.

I remember all my favourite patients.

- I don't remember you at all.

- You sure?

The beautiful julia.

I remember you.

2013, warm spring day.

You don't remember that?

- Julia...

What's he talking about?

- So, you sexually assaulted me.

- Come on, look at me. You remember me, don't you?

- I guess you just don't matter. - Oh.

- Ask any of your survivors.

[sirens wailing in distance]

- I matter to everyone. Nobody forgets me.

The life I give them, you're just a delusional little s--

- Shut up!

[grunting]

Get off me!

[grunting]

[sirens approaching]

[renee] no! Go, go, go! [caris] don't let him get away!

[sirens wailing]

[indistinct radio chatter] [det. Corali] freeze!

Down on the ground.

On your knees!

Hands behind your head.

[dramatic music]

Somebody go check inside!

[jon] caris!

- Jon?

- I'm so glad you're safe.

[caris] we all are now.

- We tracked julia's phone.

I came home to surprise you. I saw the blood and...

- It's all right. Everything's all right now.

- Marrick's saying that you confined him

In your home for days.

- Don't say anything without a lawyer, caris.

- I can't have people taking the law into their own hands.

- I understand. - But we can be lenient

In our charges, particularly in unique cases like these.

Between you, me, and the trees,

You could plead down to a misdemeanour.

See nothing more than house arrest.

You should talk to your lawyer. - Thank you, detective.

- Oh, and uh, we found a usb stick in marrick's pocket.

[caris] those are the video recordings of his assaults.

I just wish I managed to get a confession too.

- I did.

I don't remember you at all.

[caris] you were playing him.

I think you're gonna have all the evidence you need

Against marrick now.

You're the brave one.
