Medium Raw: Night of the Wolf Page #5

- We're in.

- We're in.

And this is?

A gift for helping me on the case.

Merry Christmas.

It's fruit cake-- a little joke.

Let's get on, shall we, Miss Garvey?

Fine. I'd like to see my client.

I'd like to see that--

No.

No?

He's just begun a delicate treatment.

It would be a detriment

to interrupt him.

Dr. Parker, forgive me if I sound rude,

but I'm gonna need more than your word.

Are you telling me things have changed

since the inquests of 1955 and '60

regarding the asylum's

mistreatment of patients?

When my father ran this hospital,

psychiatry and the treatment

of the criminally insane

were uncharted territory.

Perhaps some of the treatments

at that time may have seemed radical,

but I can assure you

they were undertaken

with the best interests

of the patients' welfare.

Including the drowning machine?

Aquatic reinforcement.

My father believed in techniques

which utilized

the concept of operant conditioning--

rehabilitation through punishment.

He had built a machine

that submerged a patient in cold water

if they responded or acted out

in an incorrect manner.

But as I said, we've--

we've learned from my father's mistakes.

Times have changed.

You currently use restraint collars.

The possibility for misuse is--

Nothing goes on in this facility

that I'm not fully aware of.

You have to remember we're dealing

with dangerous offenders.

Precautions have to be taken.

Then I'm sure you wouldn't mind

if I take a quick peek

at the living conditions of my client.

No offense, Miss Garvey,

but the reason Mr. Grierson is not

in the electric chair right now

is because of me,

no matter how good you look

in the business suit.

Well--

If the next words out of your mouth

are not "Thank you and goodbye,"

I'm not interested.

I run this facility

and I make the rules.

And you can just get used to it.

And don't pout when you don't get

what you want.

It's not becoming.

Carl.

Sir?

Have Dr. Morgan give Miss Garvey

a tour of the facility

and then escort her off the grounds.

Only doctors should engage

in personal discussion.

This is the one.

This is it?

Yeah.

And how are you planning on getting in?

You stole it from Jamie?

Borrowed.

And I guess you know

the pass code too, right?

If she hasn't changed it.

Access granted.

Sometimes I hate you.

Dr. Morgan, are you sure

you can't let me see Mr. Grierson?

You know I can't.

You know, I saw your husband

almost every day in court.

It must be really hard on him

knowing that his sister's killer

is just a few feet away from his wife.

- We're not together anymore.

- Access granted.

Sorry to hear that.

Have a nice day, Miss Garvey.

I'm sure you know your way out.
