Previously on "Devil in Silver"...
A malevolent presence resides in this hospital.
It is the devil.
Patients were making some thinly veiled accusations.
Dr. Walter makes him do it.
I can't really even see it, but I can feel it watching me.
- He got a jump on me. - Who?
My roommate thinks it's the devil.
As in develle?
Or do you mean Ahriman?
Did he show you?
He showed me.
He showed me it's either him or us.
Dr. Walter: Come in, Dory.
I'm glad you came by
rather than me having to send for you.
I figured you heard what happened at Sal's.
I hear everything.
Sit.
The patients were non-compliant for days.
Completely unmedicated.
Well, lots of people don't take their meds every day,
and they're fine.
Throwing away years of regimen
for a moment of pleasure.
Who convinced you to do that, Dory?
Nobody made me do anything.
I make my own choices.
Since when?
I know what's best for you, Dory.
I have for a long time.
Tell me, who was it? Who inspired you?
I have to say, he intrigues me.
Why don't you send him over here?
I need to see him in my office for a...
for a session.
He won't come.
I don't like your tone, Dory.
What else is new?
Perhaps the situation is worse than I thought.
He's a bad influence, Dory.
He's causing you to regress.
Refusing care, off your meds.
Ohh.
Contradicting me.
Oh, no.
I need you compliant, Dory.
I rely on your cooperation.
So now... let's get your mind right again.
No, no, no.
No.
No, no.
No.
Mummy, sit
so I can look at that eye before work.
It's superficial.
You should be able to see that,
Nurse Esther.
Well, at my hospital, a real hospital,
we would examine the thing anyway,
make sure you're okay,
and not send you home with ice.
Sit.
Put your shoes on now. We're leaving in 10 minutes.
Yes, Mummy.
- Oh! - Ohh.
You see?
It's not superficial. It's painful.
This girl thinks she knows nursing better than me.
You know what I think?
You should retire. Mm-hmm.
You worry about your job,
not about what I do with mine.
My patients are all sicker
than anyone in this family will ever be.
Hope you pray.
They don't pay you enough to risk what you do.
It's not about the pay.
It's the people.
Those families, they drop them off.
Some never to return.
Not even a visit.
There's one man, a very old man.
No one in his life.
He has been at New Hyde since before I started.
Never had a visitor.
Doesn't matter,
because every hour of every day,
he is locked up alone...
delusional.
At times, he gets violent.
Mummy, you sound scared.
This is what you all don't understand.
That man, depraved as he is,
has never laid a hand on me.
He senses the Lord in me.
He attacks others, not me.
He will die in that forsaken place.
How can I leave a man like this?
On Judgment day, how can I say to the Lord,
"I left your people"?
Nah. They need me.
Yes, but we need you, too, Mummy.
What if something happens to you in there?
Need me for what?
To nanny and babysit, pack lunches and clean up?
Uh...
I am getting my coat.
I am taking the long bus ride to work.
A job I will continue until I decide otherwise.
So the guy recognized me, right,
from my old band, Rhino.
We were kind of thrash. I was a drummer.
I was pretty good.
A lot of people said I was as fast as Dave Lombardo.
And, like, he put a hand on Loochie and I'm like,
"He can't do that. I got to protect the kid."
Yeah, you're a real American hero.
Yeah. So--
So I tapped him on the shoulder and, like, took him down.
And then he came back at me
and I, like, threw a hit in and then...
Whoa. It's lumpia.
My mother and I made them...
for all of you.
What's the occasion?
I just thought it might raise everyone's spirits.
Has she been like this for a while?
All morning.
You okay, Dory?
Dory!
Maybe she shouldn't be part of the plan.
We don't even have a plan.
Besides, Dory knows the entire unit cold.
We need her.
What the hell's wrong with her anyway?
From time to time, she returns to this state.
We can't rely on her.
Shh, shh, shh. Okay. Alright.
The nurses are on us like flies on shit.
Alright? We'll talk about this later.
Dory knows the hospital, but does she know
how to kill the beast? What is that?
The "Number of the Beast."
The-- The Iron Maiden song. You know, it's like, uh...
♪ What did I see? Can I believe? ♪
♪ That what I saw last night was real ♪
♪ And not just fantasy ♪
You know that song?
I prefer Celine Dion.
Hmm.
Dory.
Just gonna set this here.
Are you crazy?
Look at this place. This is chaos.
Completely out of compliance.
I didn't know Josephine was gonna bring outside food.
They're already eating. Just let them eat.
And no phones on the unit.
You can't be grabbing my ear...
I thought I made myself clear when I told you all
that we were eyes on, all protocols in full effect.
I just wa-- That means...
no cellphones on the unit.
I'm sorry.
When did New Hyde start serving egg rolls for lunch?
- It's lumpia. - Lumpia.
Metal forks?
Metal forks?!
Jesus! My mom packed it.
- Excuse me. - Sorry.
Excuse me. Can I...
It's nowhere near enough.
It's a start.
Director Cleave is on his way.
Who?
He's from the review board.
Seems that our favorite pizza place
officially lodged a complaint
with the hospital.
And I have a feeling that Dr. Badger
might have been sending word
up the channel.
Uh, w-why do you say that?
'Cause he's gone.
He hasn't scheduled another book club.
Hasn't invoiced us for the last one,
won't answer his phone.
And when I visited the session, he looked at me with daggers.
But his book cart is still there.
How could he just vanish without a word?
Well, what do you think?
You think he's hiding in my fucking shoe?
When is he coming? Director Cleave?
They don't tell you when the hammer is coming down.
No, you only know when it hits you.
Look, the board
hardly needs an excuse to close us down.
What does that mean?
It means the man could come,
turn off the lights,
put a lock on the front door, and our jobs vanish.
We need to be careful.
We need... to be perfect.
Otherwise New Hyde is done.
Here we go.
They're watching us real close.
I know.
Alright. We wait for night hours.
We bum rush that silver door, we get it open.
I drag it out, stab it till it don't move no more.
It's pretty straightforward.
That's dumb. Your plan is dumb.
Loochie is right.
Also, the last time you met it, it almost killed you.
Secure door.
Couldn't bash it open with a sledgehammer.
We have to be more thoughtful.
It comes from the shadows.
What if we could do the same?
The hospital is bigger than just our unit.
We could try to gain access to the abandoned wings.
There are shafts, alcoves to climb up.
You'll fall.
You'll die.
They'll call it a suicide.
The end.
Booty juice then.
The what now? Booty juice.
The stuff they put in your butt cheek
when you're really cut up.
The proper medical terminology
for booty juice is haloperidol.
Let's just call it that then.
Nah, we call it booty juice.
Alright, focus. Focus.
Operation... booty juice.
You're suggesting we tranquilize it
with haloperidol.
You'll get yourselves killed.
You'll get us all killed.
Yeah, well, like I said, it's either him or us.
I'll take you to him.
He can be amenable.
He'll work with you.
He can even be your friend if you do what he tells you.
Dory, what are you saying?
She's saying...
she-- she walks with the devil.
No. I didn't say that.
I said-- You said he can be a friend.
He knows what's best.
Whose side are you on here?
The side that wants no more hurting,
no more death.
That guy almost stomps my brains out,
but now he's your buddy? Is that it?
You took the keys.
Lead us not into temptation.
You do what he tells you.
But deliver us from evil! What did he tell you to do?
- What did you say, Dory? What did you say? - You. You.
Are you working with the thing?
What did he tell you to do?
What did you do? He's killed people!
Miss Chris: Inside! Dory, what did you do?!
Let's go.
You tell your friend I'm coming for him!
Oh! Get inside.
Go to your room. Cool down.
"Go," she said. Go to your room.
You look tired.
Go lay down, Dory.
You bullying the elderly now?
That old lady's not as innocent as she seems.
Right.
Innocent... like you.
I saw you at Sal's, walked out the front door,
went to the bus stop,
and then your goofy ass came back.
Well, then, you saw me save the day.
Big hero.
And that was with a messed-up back.
If I'd been 100%, you know...
Hmm.
Your back was blown before you got here.
I peeped it the first day you walked in.
What? No. It wasn't.
You have a foot drop on your left side.
My guess is sciatic damage.
Probably years old from overuse.
Pepper, I can adjust it...
if you're down.
Okay. Uh, stand up for me.
Come on, stand up.
Turn around.
Alright.
You want to put your shoulders back over your hips like this.
Try to carry more forward.
Aw, f...
Oh, God.
You alright? Yeah.
Okay.
Oh.
It won't fix it,
but it will offer some relief.
Thanks.
So why'd you come back, man?
Well, since we're asking questions,
what the hell attacked me?
Hmm? What's behind that silver door?
He's just a sad, old man.
Wasn't no old man.
You asked, I told you.
Why don't you open it up? Let me see. Hmm?
I won't tell nobody.
I'll tell you this...
as soon as I finish my residency,
finally walk out that door...
I'm never coming back.
Stay off your heels.
Fuck you!
Miss Chris: Coffee?
Fuck you! Coffee!
Fuck you!
Coffee, it's okay. Come on.
Alright, it's okay. Come, come.
It's me.
It's me. Okay?
Come on.
Tell me what's going on.
How can you not know?
Know what?
The evil in here.
You see what it does.
You demand honesty, but you are not honest.
None of you are.
The devil lives there,
behind that silver door.
He hurts us, preys upon us.
Our pain sustains him.
Don't you see that?
The man there...
is troubled.
He's violent.
But he's not the devil.
Prove me wrong.
Open that door.
Show me.
Fine.
Follow me.
Come on.
He's not going to allow this.
Somehow he will stop us.
What are you doing?
Miss Chris...
in my office. Now!
I told you.
So what? You made a deal with it?
It tells you what to do or something?
I like you.
You remind me of me a little.
How I used to be.
We are not alike.
Right, right.
You're a rebel.
That's what you think.
No meds, no rules.
You know why he doesn't fuck with you?
He knows he doesn't have to.
He knows you're not going anywhere.
No one can say boo to you.
But the days go by.
You stay.
Months, years.
You gave up a long time ago.
That's your pain.
He don't have to touch you to hurt you.
Your grandma will die.
Your brother doesn't like you.
All you really have in the end
are the people in here.
They're the closest thing
you'll ever have to a real family.
And once you realize that...
...you'll do anything...
...to keep them safe.
So you think you're protecting us.
More than you know.
More than I care to explain.
You make compromises.
That's growing up.
And in here...
there's only one way
to keep the peace.
Now, go draw something.
Miss Chris: The patients are scared.
We don't have a handle on this unit.
We must postpone the visit from the board.
And how do you suggest that we might do that?
Well, we're doing everything we can
to get them back on a proper medication regimen.
But it could take days, weeks.
And there's a lingering question of patient safety.
Everything that could go wrong has,
as it always does in here.
Can I show you something?
The board of New Hyde...
sent me an award.
In recognition of my tireless work
with at-risk communities.
They misspelled my fucking name.
This is who we're dealing with.
Those who will never face the consequences
for their neglect.
Those consequences trickle down to us.
The money comes, they sleep fine.
The money stops, they press a button.
We all go away.
And you know what? They still sleep fine.
You ever think there's something... wrong
with this place?
Mm-hmm.
Every day.
Every damn day.
Instead of keeping secrets,
we should speak the truth so things can change.
Hmm.
Speak up. Hmm?
Speak out.
Go against this place.
Try it.
See what happens.
My mom said
we should come back to her in Orlando.
For-- For how long?
I love you, but I can't
keep doing this on my own.
Stay.
I'll call you from Orlando.
Goodbye, Pepper.
Are you still mad?
Tell me what you know.
For real.
No more games.
This has been a bad place for a long time.
Dr. Walter's procedure's destroyed a lot of people,
including yours truly.
But like Coffee says,
did the devil come here
because of what Dr. Walter did?
Or did Dr. Walter do it
because the devil told him to?
Are you really telling me
the devil lives in this place?
Devil?
It's just a word
meant to describe an idea
that's almost impossible to grasp.
Oh, the spirit of the Lord
moved over the face
of the waters.
That's... It's like that.
You should have seen this place
back in the day,
racking them in,
so many patients tossed inside.
It was standing room only for decades.
The devil...
Let's just call it that.
...fed on our suffering,
ate real well.
How can it look like all these different people?
Like doctors and policemen?
It looks like what it needs to look like in here
to gain your trust or hurt you the most.
Can it die?
Would you like to meet him?
Yeah.
I would.
What is happening? I need my meds.
Come on. She needs her meds.
I talked to Dory.
What did she say?
Okay, great. You're all set.
She was just talking crazy.
Don't be mad at her.
It's the devil.
He has his hooks in deep.
Why are you giving me these?
I am done calling for help.
I used to think this system was broken
and people out there just didn't know.
But now I realize nothing is broken.
The system is working perfectly.
That's why they never fix it.
Coffee, it's time for meds. You need your dose.
What should I do with these?
Call your Nana.
Say you love her.
Coffee.
Coffee! That's the women's hallway!
You can't go down there!
Miss Chris!
No.
Nope. They're on their own.
Are you crazy?
She brought Pepper in there.
I know this.
I won't leave him to face the devil alone.
It hurts most the first time,
but you'll get used to it.
Come on.
Anthony.
This forsaken place.
I got a phone call about you.
A phone call?
About your mom.
Yeah.
They said I had to come get you.
'Cause she--
She was in...
She was in a...
I don't want to do this.
I don't want to do this again.
Dr. Walter: Are you in distress?
I can help you.
Where is he?
Shh!
Oh!
No, please. You're so beautiful.
We're here to help our friend.
That's what I'm doing. I'm helping all of us.
No. You can't get in.
You can't get in.
He's in a session with the doctor.
When he comes out, he'll comply.
Then we'll all be safe.
Ah!
Does that lead back to our unit?
Dr. Walter: You remember this.
His mother, locked away, tried to kill herself.
He was left in the care of the state,
but they didn't care about him.
Just another Black boy
with no one to protect him.
He should have gone home with you that day.
His father, his daddy...
a daddy he didn't know.
Still, it's better than nothing.
But you refused.
After this breakfast, you brought him back to the agency.
You put him back into the system.
You did that.
And you think about it every day.
You close your eyes and you see this.
His mother recovered... briefly.
In and out. In and out.
He had so many times like this in his life.
Abandoned. Discarded.
Forgotten.
Even when he felt some kind of love,
he couldn't accept it. He still can't.
He doubts it.
He thinks it's going to go away because of what you did.
You could have saved him.
But you didn't.
No, no, no.
There's another way to our unit.
The silver door.
We're on the other side of it.
Pepper!
Rowr!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no.
You see, you didn't listen.
And now it's too late.
I can open it. I can open it.
Hey. Hey. Hey, we have to go.
We have to go.
He can't hear you. Be careful.
The session is not over.
Come on, my friend. Come on.
We will not leave you.
Come on.
Do you want to stay, Daddy?
Do you want this to stop? Yes.
Would you like to be relieved of this burden?
Yes.
Then I have good news.
This is treatable.
I can make this pain go away forever.
It can't be that easy.
But it can.
You forget about him. Forget about his mother.
Think of all the good you do for others,
all the people you've helped.
Let's focus on the triumphs.
I can make it so that's all you'll ever see.
No one wants to remember their worst moments.
But I can't treat you without consent.
You have to say yes.
What do you get if I do?
I want the same thing you do, Pepper.
New Hyde...
Oh, it's become a real shithole.
And I want out.
He told me what he wants.
He wants me to help him get out of New Hyde.
What? Oh. No.
No, no, no, that can't happen.
That can't happen.
Loochie. Get the chair!
Please, please. Please, please.
You brought me here.
I thought he just wanted you to comply, not escape.
If I say no, he'll kill everyone here.
He will do... so much worse
if he gets out.
Come on!
You said that we should, uh,
look out for one another.
Huh?
And so I called because I found this.
I wanted to return it.
Where is he?
No idea. Couldn't cut it, I guess.
He just... split.
He left here, and we never saw him again.
Ah. Listen, um, I thought this might
be a chance
for you to do us a favor.
There!
It leads to our unit.
I saw Dr. Anand. We have to go through.
It fucking lives in there.
Come on! Aah!
Aah!
There's a patient on this floor.
He's become an issue.
Pepper again?
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's another one.
He's been here... a long time.
Even before me.
Dr. Badger.
Lately, his agitations have, uh,
become more frequent...
more severe. He's become violent.
He's attacked others.
He's become extremely unpredictable.
So I was wondering if, uh,
you know, there's any way that...
How do I put it? ...you know,
transfer him.
We-- We just can't control him anymore.
The devil is here!
Coffee, no! He's got a knife.
Hey, put it down! The devil is here!
Stop right there! Put it down! The devil is here!
Get down!
Coffey is dead because of you and your friend.
I'm gonna stop him even if he kills me.
This place was never meant to care for us.
It was meant to serve him.
I'm not letting you out of here.
We'll see about that.
Beg for mercy.
I know who you are.
