>> Ashley: Do you want
some more?
>> Alan: No, no thanks.
I've had my fill.
And I--
I think maybe you have too.
>> Ashley: Nope.
I'm gonna keep pouring
and drinking as long as it
keeps me awake.
Thank you for staying awake
with me.
>> Alan: Well, if you didn't
insist that Traci go to sleep,
she'd be standing by your side
right now.
>> Ashley: Oh, I know.
She might be my baby sister,
but she's been my rock
for years.
>> Alan: Well, you're very lucky
to have siblings that care
about you so much.
Going on a trip like this with
you and going on a journey to
which no one knows the end.
Takes a lot of love,
and not a little courage.
>> Ashley: She's always been the
calm, the center of every storm.
she loves and her loyalty,
they're just so fierce.
>> Alan: I've seen that
in Traci. I admire it.
>> Ashley: She's stood by my
side through so many
different things.
I mean, really,
my whole family has.
This particular journey might
be pushing the limits
just a little bit.
>> Alan: Well, you may be
pushing your own limits.
I mean, Ashley, your hands
are literally shaking.
>> Ashley: I'm okay.
I wanna finish this.
>> Alan: Okay, exhaustion
and adrenaline can be
a very messy combination.
>> Ashley: I'm going to
see this through.
>> Alan: And you will, okay?
But, I mean, pushing yourself
this hard could ultimately
be detrimental.
You need rest for what's ahead.
Why don't we just wait 'til the
morning and you can have Traci
by your side.
>> Ashley: We've already spoken
about this, Alan.
I can't take the chance
of falling asleep and letting
one of my alters take over.
It could ruin everything.
You know this. Come on.
>> Alan: An alter can take over
when you're awake, right?
We've been there.
We did it together.
You were talking to me,
and you lashed out.
Not at me, but--
>> Ashley: I know. At one
of the alters.
>> Alan: And the weaker you are,
the easier it is for them
to take control.
>> Ashley: I know.
I mean, I like to think that
I'm in charge now because I'm
awake and I'm aware, but I'm
really not in control, am I?
At a moment, one of them could
take control, and I don't even
know when I would get it back.
♪♪
>> Alan: Look, your alters could
come out at any time, but now
with what we know,
we can recognize that.
>> Ashley: I don't wanna
risk it.
>> Alan: Understandable.
Okay.
But the positive is that none
of them have come out
in a very long time.
I mean, you are clearly so much
stronger than when we began
this process.
And the more you know about
your personalities, the more
power you have over them.
>> Ashley: I don't have enough
power to figure out why they
appeared in the first place.
>> Alan: I-- I know.
That-- that is the goal.
To uncover the trauma that
caused all this,
but I also want you to take in
the progress you've made in
such a short time.
All right, you remembered
the bar, my brother, and with
each memory we regain, we'll get
closer to unraveling what
happened that night.
>> Ashley: Right, right.
As much as I wanna know,
I'm afraid to find out.
>> Alan: Well, look, that--
that is completely normal,
all right? And I won't lie
to you, it's not gonna be easy,
but that is why I really think
you need some rest.
You can start in the morning
fresh with Traci by your side.
>> Ashley: There's no rest
for me.
I just found out that your twin
brother is a sociopath
and he's targeted me.
There will be no sleep
for me tonight.
>> Alan: And unfortunately,
Martin is a dangerous man.
And believe me, as your friend,
I am worried about what
we'll uncover.
But as a professional, I am
telling you that you need to
face this trauma in order to
reintegrate the alters so that
you can become whole again.
>> Ashley: Are you okay?
This must be very difficult
for you.
I know how hard it was.
I mean, you spent so much time
and energy trying to save your
brother, trying to track him
down when he vanished,
and now this.
>> Alan: After I realized
I couldn't help Martin anymore
and let go, I thought I'd
never see him again.
And now for him to come back
into my life like this, it's...
Knowing how dangerous Martin
can be, it is not unreasonable
to think that he was behind
your trauma, and I'm just so
sorry I put you
in this situation.
He would not have access to you
if it wasn't for me, and
whatever he inflicted on you,
I-- I...
>> Ashley: It's gonna be okay.
Come on, let's talk this
through.
>> Alan: You're right.
>> Ashley: Yeah.
>> Alan: Um, so what else do you
remember from that night?
>> Ashley: Okay.
It's just a blank.
What do I do?
How do I remember more?
>> Alan: Well, I mean,
doing what we're doing.
You know, try to visualize
the place, listen for sound.
>> Ashley: Isn't there something
else we can do?
Can't we take this
a step beyond?
>> Alan: Uh, well,
I mean, there's hypnosis.
>> Ashley: Hypnosis?
>> Alan: Look, it can be
an effective therapy, Ashley,
but I don't really think
it's appropriate.
>> Ashley: Wait, wait, wait.
Have you used it in your
practice before?
>> Alan: Uh, yes.
>> Ashley: Okay,
was it productive?
>> Alan: At times.
>> Ashley: All right, so would
it work in my situation?
Okay, you're stonewalling me.
Are you afraid that we're
moving too fast?
Is this worrying you?
I mean, what is it?
Just please tell me.
Will this work for me?
>> Alan: It is not without risk.
>> Ashley: Alan.
>> Alan: All right?
>> Ashley: We have everything
to gain and nothing to lose.
Please.
Let's do this.
>> Alan: Ashley, are you sure
you're ready for this?
>> Ashley: I have never been so
sure about anything in my life.
>> Alan: Look, honestly, you're
not the ideal subject for this
therapy right now.
I mean, you need some rest.
>> Ashley: There's nothing ideal
about my situation, period.
But that doesn't mean
we don't try.
>> Alan: All right.
So, listen, once I hypnotize
you, you'll be in a more
relaxed state, but you'll also
be able to concentrate better
so that you can retrieve
your memories, okay?
>> Ashley: Get some answers,
right?
>> Alan: Well, that is the hope.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Alan: All right,
you comfortable? You ready?
>> Ashley: Yes, I'm ready.
>> Alan: Okay, now I want you
to start by taking some nice,
slow, deep breaths
like you're meditating, okay?
Now, I'm gonna count from ten
to one backwards and with each
count, I want you to imagine
you're going deeper and deeper
into a safe and peaceful place.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
And one.
All right.
Now, just picture the bar where
you met Martin, all right?
Imagine the people there,
whatever sounds, and then try
and describe the bar to me.
>> Ashley: There's music
playing.
People are enjoying themselves.
It's not very crowded.
I'm at a table and I order
a glass of Bordeaux.
>> Alan: And what--
what happens next?
>> Ashley: I think that Alan
would like this Bordeaux,
so I call you and you say you're
gonna join me.
>> Alan: Except that it's not
Alan who you called, right?
>> Ashley: No, it wasn't.
>> Alan: Look, Ashley, I want
you to know that you are safe,
all right?
Your memories can't hurt you.
Okay?
What happened when Martin
joined you?
How did you greet each other?
What did you say?
>> Ashley: We toasted
our friendship.
We were happy to see each other
and we were catching up.
And I talked to him about
Tucker and what was happening
in my marriage.
>> Alan: How did it feel sitting
there with him, just talking
and drinking wine?
How was that?
>> Ashley: It felt comfortable.
I asked him if he wanted
another glass of wine.
>> Alan: And what happened
after that?
>> Ashley: I can't remember.
>> Alan: Okay.
Just try to remember the
precise details of that moment.
Any music you might hear.
Any sounds.
>> Ashley: I can't.
Wait.
He whispered something
in my ear.
>> Alan: What did he whisper?
Okay, okay.
It's all right, Ashley.
Just-- just do this.
Imagine hearing the people
around you talking.
You hear the music in the bar.
Now, screen all of that out
and focus only on what Martin
is saying.
>> Martin: I have a new piece
of art I'd like you to see.
I think you'll find it
fascinating.
>> Ashley: I remember.
>> Alan: Oh, okay.
Ashley, I'm gonna count from
one to ten and then you're
gonna come out and you're gonna
be in a calm, peaceful state,
all right?
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
>> Ashley: He wanted to show me
a piece of art.
>> Alan: And-- and what else?
>> Ashley: He paid the bill
and then we left.
That's it.
We have to go
to your townhouse, Alan.
>> Traci: No, no, Ashley.
It's late and you've been
pushing yourself so hard.
>> Ashley: Traci, please, I am
so close to getting answers.
I can't stop now.
>> Alan: Well, are you sure
you're strong enough
for what's ahead?
>> Ashley: Yes, I'm telling you
right now, I am strong enough.
Please, I can't take a chance
of one of my alters taking over.
Not when I'm so close
to this, please.
I know that if we go to your
place, I'm going to remember.
>> Alan: Well, we could use
all the answers we could get.
>> Ashley: Traci, please,
I'll be fine.
You'll be with me every step
of the way.
Tucker called.
>> Traci: Just ignore him,
Ashley.
>> Tucker: Hey, Ashley.
Uh, I know you're in Paris.
Um, as it happens,
I'm in Paris, too.
Actually, as luck would have it,
I-- I ran into
your friend, Alan,
on the street, but he acted
like I was a complete stranger,
no recognition of me whatsoever.
None.
Anyway, I hope everything is
working out for you and that
you're finding the answers
you're looking for.
>> Traci: What did he want?
>> Ashley: He's in Paris.
>> Traci: What?
Did he follow you here?
>> Ashley: He says that he ran
into you and you ignored him.
>> Alan: I didn't ignore Tucker.
I didn't even see him.
>> Ashley: He was positive
that he saw you.
Was it Martin?
>> Alan: So, Martin could be
in Paris right now.
>> Ashley: There's no reason for
Tucker to lie about this.
>> Traci: What are you doing?
>> Ashley: I'm calling him.
>> Traci: What?
It's after midnight.
>> Ashley: It doesn't matter.
[ phone ringing ]
>> Tucker: Hey, Ashley.
>> Ashley: How'd you know
I was in Paris?
>> Tucker: Jack told me.
>> Ashley: I doubt he would
give you any information about
me at all, Tucker.
>> Tucker: Uh, he knows I was
already coming on business
and maybe he finally realizes
I'm genuinely trying to help you
through this.
>> Ashley: Where did you see
Alan? When was this?
>> Tucker: I bumped into him,
quite literally,
on the rue de Marc.
He looked straight into my eyes
but seemed to have no
recognition of me.
Why do you ask?
Everything okay?
Do you need help?
>> Ashley: No, I'm fine.
You didn't run into Alan.
You were mistaken.
>> Tucker: How do you know who
I saw or didn't see?
>> Ashley: Listen, you're here
on business, right?
Then, just focus on Glissade.
Don't worry about me.
Just leave it alone.
>> Tucker: But--
>> Ashley: Tucker definitely
ran into your brother.
>> Alan: So, Martin could've
been in Paris this whole time.
I-- I've had P.I.'s looking for
him for almost two years
and they found nothing.
>> Traci: Alan, if a person
doesn't want to be found...
Ashley, the conversation with
Tucker really upset you,
didn't it?
Listen, if you don't wanna
continue, let's just take a--
>> Ashley: No, please stop
trying to--
I need to do this, please.
I need to see this through when
I'm so close to getting these
answers. Don't you want answers?
Don't you wanna find Martin?
>> Alan: If Martin is off
his meds, he is a danger
to himself and others,
so yes, I need to.
But you do not need to do this
for him or for me.
You need to be your own
priority right now, Ashley.
>> Ashley: If you mean what
you're saying, then believe me
when I tell you I need to do
this, and I need to do it now.
>> Traci: So, have you
been here before?
>> Alan: Well, we usually met
in cafes the Parisian way.
But, you know, just
look around.
Anything look familiar or
strike a chord or...
>> Ashley: Yeah, this is
the painting that Alan
wanted me to see.
>> Alan: Well,
it is a new painting.
>> Traci: How new?
>> Alan: I got it a couple
months ago.
>> Ashley: So, I was here
in the right time frame.
>> Traci: Are you okay?
>> Ashley: Hypnotize me again.
>> Alan: Ashley, it's--
it's not a good idea.
What you've been through,
the exhaustion you have,
I-- I really think we should
try to remember naturally.
>> Ashley: Okay.
All right.
Okay.
I was sitting here on the sofa.
Martin brought brandies
and we talked some more.
>> Alan: Okay.
Do you remember
anything specific?
[ distant noise ]
>> Ashley: What was that?
>> Alan: I don't know.
No one's supposed to be here.
>> Traci: I don't suppose
you have a cat?
>> Alan: No, but maybe I left
a window open.
>> Traci: Or your brother did.
>> Alan: I'm prepared for that,
but just wait here.
Let me go see if there's a sign
of Martin or if anyone's been
here, all right?
>> Traci: Oh.
Okay, my nerves are
officially frayed.
I can't even imagine how you're
feeling and you haven't had
any sleep.
>> Ashley: Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm just trying to focus.
You know, it's taking every
ounce of energy that I have to
focus on this.
>> Traci: Ashley, do you know
what I see when I look at you?
I see my brave, strong sister
who's always ready to charge
into battle and you're doing
it, right now,
and I am just in awe.
>> Ashley: I told you before,
I couldn't do any of this
without you.
I mean, your willingness to
just do everything you can to
help me get to the other side
of this is just phenomenal.
Thank you so much.
>> Traci: Well, just because
I have complete faith in you.
And-- and Alan, what an amazing
friend he is to you.
He's so dedicated and he's
doing everything he can
to help you.
You know, I really admire
his loyalty.
>> Ashley: He said the same
thing about you.
>> Traci: Well, maybe you
inspire it in people.
>> Ashley: Something shifted.
>> Traci: It shifted?
What-- what do you mean?
>> Ashley: You know, I had this
buzzing in my head.
It's not--
it's not like it was before.
The voices aren't as loud and
clear as they were in the past.
>> Traci: Well, maybe that's
a really good sign.
Maybe-- maybe the alters are
getting weaker.
>> Ashley: Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna take it as
a sign that I'm getting
stronger, right?
>> Traci: Oh, Ashley.
I'm sorry you've had to face
so much uncertainty these last
months with these alters.
I mean, you-- you find yourself
in strange places, and-- and
you don't know how you got
there, what you've done.
And yet, through all of that,
look at you.
You're standing here focused
and determined and steady.
>> Ashley: Don't give me
too much credit.
I'm only here because
I have to be.
You're here because
you love me.
That's the real bravery, Trace.
>> Traci: No.
The brave traveling companion
and sounding board.
Yeah, that's me.
>> Ashley: Don't sell yourself
short. Please.
Your reassurance is keeping me
grounded through this.
>> Traci: Well, there's plenty
more reassurance where that
came from.
>> Ashley: Good,
I'm gonna need it.
>> Martin: The man is clearly
a narcissist, a selfish bastard.
I say to hell with him.
This is not a man who deserves
a second chance.
>> Ashley: Well, I did throw him
for a loop when I told him
I wasn't ready to back away
from my family entirely.
>> Martin: Look, you're just
excusing his behavior.
>> Ashley: That's not true.
I'm explaining it.
>> Martin: Ashley,
he made himself clear.
The violence he showed you was
just the beginning, but the
question is, what was
underneath it?
What did he truly want
in that moment?
It was to berate you,
to humiliate you,
to terrorize you.
>> Ashley: I don't think that
was the case.
>> Martin: You're diminishing
his actions.
Ashley, you need to be free
of him.
You need to move on.
You have so much to offer.
You're too fascinating
a subject to be held back by
petty psychological confusion.
>> Ashley: Subject?
Are you analyzing me now?
Is this a therapy session?
>> Martin: Ashley...
>> Alan: Ashley?
>> Traci: Did you find anything?
>> Alan: Uh, no sign of Martin
or anyone else having been in
the apartment since I was
out of the city.
Are you all right?
>> Ashley: I remembered more.
>> Alan: What did you remember?
>> Ashley: Martin and I were
talking about the fight I had
with Tucker, but he said it
was more than just an argument.
He said that Tucker was trying
to frighten me
and humiliate me.
>> Traci: That's when
it started.
That-- that's when you started
getting confused about
the argument.
>> Ashley: Yes, and he called me
his subject like he was
analyzing me.
>> Traci: That is so strange.
>> Alan: Well, not so much when
you have an understanding
of my brother.
Once he started transcribing
the notes from my sessions,
he became obsessed with how
I was treating my patients,
so much so that he believed
because of his own pathology,
he had a better understanding
of the psyche than I.
>> Traci: Well, that's just
terrifying. To have someone
so troubled not be able to even
see their own condition for what
it is and to think they have
all the answers over
a trained professional.
>> Alan: Or enlightening.
>> Ashley: How so?
>> Alan: Well, Martin's
arguments got to me
on some level.
I don't like to admit that,
and I certainly couldn't admit
it then, but, you know,
I have doubts.
I've begun to question how
I treated my patients,
my brother.
I don't know.
Maybe I should've listened
to him more closely.
>> Traci: Oh, Alan,
you're brilliant at what you do.
>> Alan: Look, see, Martin,
he-- he lived through
what I only observed
in my patients, read in books.
He experienced reactions
to medication, to therapy.
I don't know.
Maybe I hurt him more
than I helped.
I-- I should've showed him
a path forward instead of
controlling him.
You know, pointed out
his underlying gifts.
It was definitely an error of
judgment treating him and...
he suffered for it.
>> Ashley: You're being too hard
on yourself, Alan.
You were just trying
to help him.
>> Alan: That's very kind
of you.
But we are not here to discuss
my issues with my brother.
We're here for you.
So...
After he said you were
a subject,
what happened after that?
>> Ashley: It's just a fog.
>> Alan: Why don't we try
hypnosis again?
>> Traci: Wait, wait.
You said earlier that
that would be some risk
to Ashley because of
her exhaustion.
>> Ashley: It's okay.
If Alan thinks I can do this,
I can do it.
[ Traci sighing ]
I'm ready.
>> Alan: All right.
I want you to close your eyes.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Alan: And bring attention
to your breath.
You were upset that Martin
called you a subject.
So, what happened after that?
>> Martin: You came to me
as a friend.
But you also came to me because
of my knowledge of psychology.
Of course, you are not
a subject.
But use me.
Use my expertise.
I can see you're conflicted
about Tucker and what happened
at the bistro.
Maybe we can resolve it
together.
>> Ashley: How?
>> Martin: I think it might be
a good idea for us
to try role-play.
Recreate the argument.
I'll be Tucker.
I'll say the things
he meant to say.
And that will give you time
to respond so you can stand up
for yourself.
>> Ashley: I don't get the point
of that.
>> Martin: Don't you trust me?
>> Ashley: Of course,
I trust you.
>> Martin: I just want you
to see this confrontation
for what it was.
See Tucker for who he is,
what he's capable of, because
you deserve more.
You deserve to live the life
you choose, Ashley.
We all do.
So, let's change the dynamic.
Recreate the fight.
But this time, we'll put
the power in your hands.
[ Alan snaps fingers ]
>> Traci: Oh, Ashley,
you're trembling.
>> Alan: What-- what happened?
What do you remember?
>> Ashley: Martin wanted
to reenact the fight I had with
Tucker, with him being Tucker,
and I didn't want to.
>> Traci: Oh, my gosh, why would
he even say that?
Okay, that's it.
We are stopping.
We can do this tomorrow.
>> Ashley: I am not stopping.
Not when I have this momentum.
I can't.
>> Traci: Ashley, I know that
you are desperate to find out
the truth.
I'm as eager as you are to get
to the bottom of what's going
on with you and see you healed.
But you are emotionally
and physically exhausted.
>> Ashley: Traci, I am okay.
>> Traci: Saying it over and
over again doesn't make it true.
This is taking its toll on you.
Think about what
you might remember.
You have to be strong
and ready for what's ahead.
>> Ashley: I am prepared.
>> Traci: You told me that I
fight for you when you can't
fight for yourself.
Look, that is what I'm doing.
Right now, Ashley,
I'm fighting for you.
Take some time to process
everything you've learned. Alan,
Wouldn't that be healthier?
>> Alan: Traci, I-- I appreciate
your concern,
and I respect it, okay?
But we are at a pivotal point
here. Your sister's right.
We need to push on.
Seriously, this needs to happen.
>> Ashley: Thank you so much.
I know that you care about me.
I love you for that.
I really do.
But I know Alan would never put
me in any kind of a danger.
I trust him completely.
I'm okay.
>> Traci: Alan, can you tell me
that she is safe to continue?
>> Alan: I promise you,
she is in very good hands.
>> Traci: That is not
what I asked you.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay. Okay.
>> Ashley: Traci, thank you.
>> Alan: All right.
Now, the last thing you
remember is sitting on the couch
with Martin, and he wanted you
to recreate the argument
you had with Tucker.
Emphasizing the angry subtext.
>> Ashley: Yeah.
>> Alan: So, let's try
to remember what happened
after that, all right?
You ready?
>> Ashley: Yeah.
>> Alan: Okay.
So, close your eyes again.
Pay attention to your breath.
I'm gonna count backwards
from ten.
>> Ms. Abbott: Stop this,
Ashley. Stop right now.
You don't know
what you're doing.
You're not ready.
You're too weak.
I'm the only one who can face
the truth.
>> Traci: Ashley, what happened?
>> Ashley: Oh.
It's Ms. Abbott.
She's trying to take over.
>> Alan: Look, don't let that
happen, all right? Not now.
>> Ashley: She says she's
the only one that can do it,
that I'm too weak.
>> Alan: No, you are not
too weak.
You are stronger than you
have ever been.
You fight her.
>> Ms. Abbott: He's wrong.
He doesn't know you like I do.
Let me help you.
Let me take over.
It's the only way.
>> Alan: Ashley, you can
do this, all right?
You've done the work.
You can face the truth.
Don't let her out.
Don't let any of them out.
>> Ashley: She's getting
stronger, though. I can feel it.
I don't think I can stop her.
>> Alan: You fought hard
to get here.
Don't give up now.
Stay alert, all right?
Only you can do this.
Only you can see this through.
>> Ms. Abbott: He's lying
to you.
Listen to me.
Let me out.
>> Alan: Ashley, Ashley,
listen to me.
Ashley, listen to me.
Look at me.
I want you to listen
to my words very closely.
This is a good thing, okay?
It means you're getting closer
to the truth.
That's why the alters are
scared, but you're not scared,
because you don't need
them anymore.
>> Ashley: Okay.
Okay.
I think they're gone.
I think she's gone.
>> Alan: Okay.
All right.
Look, let's try to continue,
all right? Think hard.
What do you remember happening
after that?
[ Alan sighing ]
All right. It's all right.
It's all right.
Um, Traci, could you make us
a pot of coffee and make it
really strong?
>> Traci: Coffee?
Now?
Ashley, I am begging you
to stop and just get some sleep.
>> Ashley: I can't stop
right now.
I have to get these answers.
Please.
>> Tucker: Everything okay?
Do you need help?
>> Ashley: I'm fine.
And you're wrong about Alan.
You're mistaken.
You didn't see him.
>> Tucker: How do you know
who I saw or didn't see?
>> Ashley: Listen, you're here
on business, then focus
on Glissade.
Don't worry about me.
Just leave it alone, please.
>> Tucker: What's going on,
Ashley?
>> Traci: Maybe the coffee
can wait.
>> Alan: Ashley needs to focus
all of her energy on remembering
what happened in this room.
That-- that is
key to her healing.
And-- and if we lose this
momentum, I can't speak to what
will happen next or how long
it will take us to get back
to this point.
Traci, even a loving
and supportive sister can be
a distraction for Ashley
right now.
Now, I know you mean well,
and I completely respect that,
but your very presence could be
impeding her progress
and I know you don't want that.
>> Ashley: I'm okay, Traci.
I swear to you.
>> Traci: Are you certain?
>> Ashley: I am me.
I am certain.
>> Traci: Okay.
Okay.
>> Alan: Shall we, uh,
try hypnosis again?
>> Ashley: Yes, yes, yes.
>> Ms. Abbott: No more
hypnosis.
Don't listen to him, Ashley.
You don't know
what you're doing.
Stop.
>> Alan: She's back again,
isn't she?
Fight her.
>> Ashley: I don't think I can.
>> Alan: No, you can.
You have to.
Everything depends on this
moment, Ashley.
Your will and your strength.
If you let those alters back
in, we could lose everything
that we have gained so far.
We may not remember what
happened this evening or--
or what started all of this.
This next step is key
to your healing.
You have to fight for nothing
less than your survival.
>> Ms. Abbott: Don't listen
to him.
I'll deal with this.
You'll be safe.
>> Ashley: Stop it.
>> Ms. Abbott: I'll protect you.
>> Ashley: Stop it!
>> Ms. Abbott: You need me.
>> Ashley: No, I don't need you!
I don't need you to protect me!
Please just go!
Oh...
>> Alan: Ashley?
>> Ashley: Okay.
She's gone.
I think I bought some time,
but I don't know how much.
>> Alan: We need
to take the next step.
Now, that night, Martin wanted
you to recreate the fight with
Tucker, but you didn't want to,
right?
And you don't remember anything
after that?
>> Ashley: No.
He said it would give me back
my power, but I was afraid to.
>> Alan: Well, I think we need
to reenact that night as vividly
as we can.
You were sitting on the sofa,
right?
>> Ashley: Yeah.
>> Alan: Okay. Shall we?
Let's sit down here.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Alan: It's okay, Ashley.
Come on. Let's try it.
Like this?
You were sitting like this?
>> Ashley: Yeah.
>> Alan: Okay.
So then, now let's-- let's close
your eyes, all right,
take deep breaths, and...
oh, take in all the sensations
and the sounds
and let's go back to that night.
>> Martin: I know you're afraid,
Ashley, but this is the only way
to resolve your conflict
with your husband
and your relationship.
Are you ready?
>> Ashley: Okay. Yeah.
>> Martin: All right.
I'll be Tucker.
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
>> Martin: You just speak to me
as you would him,
your side of the argument.
It-- it's all right.
This is a safe space, okay?
>> Ashley: Okay.
Um...
Tucker, I know that we were
planning on building a company
together, but I-- I just can't
back away from my family
like that. Um...
But I'm not betraying you.
I love you.
Um, I'm wearing your ring.
This is our honeymoon.
>> Martin: But you know what
really happened, right?
You saw his rage,
the way he knocked over
that wine glass,
kicked that chair.
>> Ashley: But he didn't.
>> Martin: Ah.
I want you to look beyond
what you think you see.
Understand the underlying
moment.
See his rage, the way he wanted
to control you,
to dominate you,
punish you for not loving him
the way he wanted
you to love him.
>> Tucker: I don't care anymore.
I don't care where you sleep.
I don't care what you do.
I'm done.
Goodbye, Ashley.
You go to hell!
>> Ashley: He expected a lot
from me, but--
>> Martin: This is where
we change the narrative, Ashley.
You stand up for yourself.
You fight back.
>> Ashley: Fight back how?
>> Martin: You show them
you don't give up.
That you don't cower.
That you push through.
Show them your power
and then you take it back.
You're so--
so strong, Ashley.
So beautiful.
But, Tucker, he--
he didn't understand you.
He didn't know what he had.
But I do.
I-- I know what you have
to offer.
Your beauty.
I can be your Tucker.
A better version.
With me, you'll be strong
and safe.
You'll never have to fear again.
I will give you
everything you want.
Everything you need.
>> Tucker: You made me cut open
a vein and bleed for you.
Beg you!
I had to love you so--
No, I didn't just have to
love you, did I?
I had to worship you,
because that's the only way
to get this ice queen to thaw.
Total devotion.
You destroyed me, Ashley.
Destroyed me!
>> Ashley: I know what happened.
>> Alan: Tell me.
>> Ashley: I--
I somehow confused the two
because Tucker was angry,
but Martin was...
so frightening,
and he was aggressive,
and he was violent with me,
and I blended them
together somehow.
>> Alan: Yeah, and then
what happened?
>> Ashley: I don't know.
It's just a complete blank.
It's just a wall.
Is that when my mind just
splintered off?
Is that when I created
the alters, and they came in to
protect me, but they were
protecting me from Tucker
and not Martin?
Is that what happened?
>> Alan: Well done.
I knew I could do it.
>> Ashley: Do what?
>> Alan: Crack the code.
Solve the riddle.
>> Ashley: What are you
talking about?
>> Alan: Well, my brother
thought he had all the answers.
Played God with his patients.
Let them think he knew best,
but I knew best.
I know best and you just
helped me prove it.
>> Ashley: Helped you
prove what?
>> Alan: Well, as they say,
if you, uh, figure it out,
you will be my favorite subject.
>> Ashley: You're Martin.
>> Martin: Hm.
Brilliant and beautiful,
but a little slow on
the uptake today. No, no, no.
[ Ashley screams ]
Come here. Come here.
