and helpful to everyone.

What do you say?

What do you say?

Hmm.

Okay. Excuse me, y'all,

for one second.

Maybe I need to make

my consultations one-on-one.

What about you?

What are your daily goals?

Finding someone to believe

I don't belong in here.

Oh.

You're no different

from anybody else in here.

You gave them an in.

What are you talking about?

Not now. Later. Okay?

Okay.

They brought up suicide.

You bit.

That's all they need.

They've got beds.

You've got insurance.

But I'm fine.

I just needed to talk

to somebody.

Yeah, that's why

Highland Creek and all

the other Highland Creeks

and Tumbling Pines

and Cedar Valleys

under the ADS

Health Enterprises

umbrella exist.

You talk,

they find a way to keep you

and get you admitted.

And you stay locked up

until Aetna,

Blue Cross, Medicaid

or whoever insures you will pay.

Soon as the money runs out,

you're cured.

But that's...

Business.

Business.

Highland Creek

is just like any other

business in America.

They got a number

to hit every month.

They need to admit as many

patients to fill those beds

to get that money.

You know, the law of averages

suggests that a percentage

of the patients admitted

to Highland Creek

are in actual need

of psychiatric care.

It also suggests

that a higher percentage...

Are just like me.

They're locking up

sane people for profit.

Yeah.

I'm here for seven days

because my insurance company

approved it.

Boom.

It's not that bad.

I mean, it's inhuman,

but compared to where

you could have landed?

Tumbling Pines streams

meth addict cage matches.

This place has got Hayley,

plus some less qualified

and motivated employees.

There's really no comparison.

And if you hook up

with the right people,

you don't gotta worry

about weed, booze, porn,

or whatever you use

to make life seem less

of a crushing void.

I, myself, am in the throes

of kicking an opioid addiction,

so keep that sh*t away from me.

Final words:

Do your time.

Keep your head down.

God, you're talking to me

like we're in prison.

You're welcome.

Don't cause any scenes.

Don't make any enemies.

Find a community,

learn how to live

with the routine.

It'll be over

before you know it.

You've got any questions,

come find me.

Mm-hmm.

Ah.

Oh.

No.

No way.

You can't be anywhere near me.

This won't work.

The Boston cops

have got a record

of the restraining order.

I hope following me

all the way here

was worth it

because you're going to jail.

Move, Alison.

No...

George Shaw?

Is that what you're

calling yourself?

This man is called David Strine.

And he's been following me

and calling me and texting me

and showing up at my job
