How come you never told me you
had a child, Pepper?

- Who is that?
- Dr. Walter. He built this place.

I know what's best for you, Dori.

- I make my own choices.

What's behind that silver door?

Cleave: Director Cleave,
formal inquiry,

Northwest Unit, New Hyde.

Police action
resulting in deceased patient

and other negligences.

Nurse Josephine Alzona.

Nurse Alzona,

how do you account

for no awareness among the staff
of the patient's whereabouts

for over 30 minutes?

Mr. Coffee was never a problem.

He was polite, always compliant.

We... We... We were looking
and looking and...

How long have you worked here?

Six weeks.

And is it common for staff members

to lose sets of access keys
on the unit floor?

[Sighs]

And how did the patient
obtain a metal fork?

No metal utensils on the unit.

Them's the rules. I didn't bring it.

No idea.

And patients were Eyes-On

at this time, in accordance
with Dr. Anand's orders, yes?

Yep.

Can you walk me through, please,
moment to moment,

the incident that occurred
at Sal's Pizzeria last week?

We're understaffed,

underfunded, and we only hear
from hospital brass

when the doo-doo hits the fan,
if you'll excuse my language.

Otherwise, we don't exist at all.

Do you ever bring patients
beyond the boundary areas?

What? No, never.

Like into the medication
room, for instance.

I don't know what happened.

I was in my room.

I don't know what happened.

I was in my room.

You were in your room?

I don't know what happened.

I was in my room.

Okay.

You were roommates
with Mr. Osei, is that correct?

Who?

Kofi Osei. The deceased.

Kofi.

Kofi.

Every patient says
they were in their room.

Which they weren't.

Tell me, how do so many in your care

just seem to suddenly
collectively vanish like that?

I mean...

You're right. It's impossible.

And as lead physician

here at this unit with a pattern
of negligence this severe,

who would you say is to blame?

Well...

it seems that you've already
made up your mind about that.

Your patients will be relocated

by the end of the week.

Staff will be assessed.

We'll see who stays and who goes.

It'll be my recommendation
that most, if not all, depart,

and this unit will shutter
by the following week.

Oh.

Wow.

How well did you know the deceased?

Which one?

Here's an excerpt.

This is...

from a letter that Vincent

wrote to his sister-in-law,
Johanna, in 1889.

"Though here there are some
patients very seriously ill..."

"...the fear...

and horror of madness
that I used to have

has already much lessened.

And though here you continually
hear terrible cries and

shouts

and howls like beasts in a menagerie,

in spite of that..."

"In spite of that,

people here know each other very well

and help each other

when they suffer crises."

Now, that's crazy.

Too bad none of us
are world-famous artists.

Oh, well, there it is.
That's the thing, you see.

When Van Gogh died,

he thought his art was worthless.

When he died, he couldn't
even afford rotten bread.

But he kept painting
because he believed.

He believed in his heart that
he was doing something special.

Something sincere.
