MAN
Five, six, seven, eight!
Hey, Joe, I wanna walk.
All right.
Oh‐‐
George!
George!
George!
George?
George!
What?
Stay with us, please.
Stay with us, please.
Come on.
You said I could have dessert.
I don't wanna go home!
- You had ice cream before, remember?
- You said I could have dessert after.
All that sugar will make you sick.
I am not sick.
List‐‐
Hey, look at me. Hey. Okay.
Look me in the eyes.
- Is that true?
- Yes.
- That's true. That's not a lie.
- No.
- No fever? No aches?
- No.
No pains?
No.
Stick your tongue out.
Aah.
Yeah, you say "aah..."
Yeah, that checks out.
That's a healthy kid. I'm sorry.
It'll take an hour
to get across the park.
Will it take an hour
to get across the park?
No.
No.
That's a fast kid. That's a tiger.
Aren't you a tiger? What do tigers say?
Whoa!
That's what a tiger says.
Okay, fine.
Annie? Hi!
Hi!
Hi. Oh, hey.
It's Nancy.
Breaux.
Hey. Hi.
How ya doing?
How's the move?
Uh, yeah, it's fine.
I'm here with Stewy.
You met him at your wedding.
- Joe! I'm sorry.
- Yeah, yeah.
Joe! Meet me out
front, all right? Twenty minutes.
Joe. Wait!
They are so cute.
Let me see your ring.
Dead.
Yeah, I guess.
When Joe came back from New Haven
with a fiancée,
and a kid, it was like, "What?"
We didn't even know
he was seeing anybody.
Yeah, I guess it happened fast.
And you're so different.
What?
Sorry.
Joe!
Joe!
George! George!
George! Hey.
Hey.
What's the matter?
Hey, you okay?
Look at me.
Come here.
It's all right.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, thank God.
What happened? Where'd you go?
I've been so‐‐
running all over the place.
Did he tell you what happened?
Annie?
No.
Are you the dad?
Yes.
He's the stepdad.
He just said he needed
to go to the bathroom‐‐.
And then what?
Nothing. I‐Just ran off again.
You really scared me, bud.
He didn't say what happened?
He hasn't said a word.
Hey. Baby. Go on.
You're not in any trouble.
Baby, go on.
Someone was chasing me.
Who? Who was chasing you?
A monster.
Oh. Wh‐Wh‐‐
What did the monster look like?
Black eyes.
He tried to eat me.
That is scary, kid.
Are you sure...
Yes.
...that's what happened?
It wasn't a person who was chasing you?
Here, here. Let me do that for you. Thank you.
No, I'm sure.
Hey. Can you do this with your wrist?
Like that. Does that hurt?
Okay. I'm just
gonna wrap this up for you.
All right?
You're a brave little tiger, aren't you?
Just a minute.
Oh. Hey.
Car's waiting.
Hey.
He has a sprained wrist, Joe.
I know, I know. It's a story.
What happened to him?
I have never seen him so shook.
Hey. I'll talk to him.
First, let's get him fixed up.
'Kay?
Come on.
- Hey, baby.
- We're going to 2nd and Presbyterian.
Children's Hospital.
I'm so sorry. The 10 was a nightmare.
Shh.
What's going on?
There's someone here.
What do you mean there's someone here?
I don't know.
I heard noises out back.
Someone is out there.
All right. Get my phone.
Who's there?
Surprise!
That was a good one.
Congratulations!
- Look at you.
- You're late.
I've been standing by the window
for a damn half hour.
Who's there?
You shut up!
Champagne!
Can you spin it?
There we go. Fruit in the front.
Gorgeous.
Stewy tells me that you
have a new project.
Oh, don't you start, too.
I like helping people.
You're a tourist.
You holiday in the wreckage
of other people's lives.
And encourage them to grow.
Mm.
Like saplings.
Mm‐hmm.
Which one is she?
Over there by the drinks.
She was waiting tables
at this fish place that Stewy likes
that I think is gross,
but I let him drag me.
But there's a story there,
because her name tag says Jennifer,
but I overheard the restaurant manager
call her Toni.
Hi. Hi.
Hi.
Hey.
Hi. Jennifer, right?
Yeah.
Uh, Jennifer moved to
New Orleans to go to school.
Mm.
Yeah. I want to be a gentle hy‐dentist.
I mean, a dental hy‐denish.
A dental hygienist.
This is Annie's house, you know.
Oh, wow. It's really nice.
Thank you, thank you.
Now, when I met Annie,
she didn't know her ass from Hermes,
and look at her now.
You got the house and the cars
and the husband...
That's all.
Mm, okay.
Oh, stop. I'm just saying,
you've come a long way.
That's all. You're an inspiration.
Tell her.
Tell her.
Okay.
Um, I left home when I was 15.
My father was a drunk
who put my mother through
a sliding glass door.
So, that's pretty much the story.
Y'all have to excuse me.
I gotta go check on Marta.
Make sure she's not drowning
in hors d'ouevres. Enjoy.
Come here.
- Georgie.
- Hey.
My Lord, your mama said
you were stuck at school.
Got time off for good behavior.
Aw.
Oh.
Go get Joe. Tell him Georgie's home.
Oh, I'll find him.
Still haven't burned
the place down.
Aw, we miss you.
Why you got to go
all the way to California?
You got a girlfriend yet?
Yeah. Yeah, five or six.
Five or six?
...diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome.
My parents took me to
the Ochsner Center,
where we met Dr. Keller
and his incredible team.
I was able to receive a new heart,
and a new lease on life.
Now, I'm a normal high schooler,
and I even play varsity basketball.
Wow!
Joe...
Thank you for all that you do
for children like me.
And congratulations on receiving
the Kayhart Award for medical research.
I can't think of anyone more deserving.
You saved my life.
That's embarrassing.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, sweetheart.
That was terrific.
That was so sweet...
Um...
I... My name's Frank White.
Uh...
Piss, or get off the pot!
Oh, shoo.
I'm sor‐‐
I'm sorry, do I know you, Frank?
I, I, I can't seem to remember
where we met.
We, we've never met before.
But my sister told me
about the award you won.
I, uh, didn't know there'd be a party.
I didn't know there'd be a party.
Do you remember my sister?
Julie White?
She remembers you.
Um, I'm sorry. I, I can't place her.
Oh.
Excuse me. Um, this is a private event
to celebrate my husband.
So, if you aren't on the guest list...
- Think it might be time for him to leave.
- Uh...
Yeah.
Oh. Sorry. Oh.
That is why you do not do drugs.
Hey, is, uh, this thing on?
Uh, Joe, you are good guy,
but you better stay
the hell away from my sister.
Nah, I'm kidding. I'm just kidding.
Uh, congratulations on the award‐‐
Wait, hey, hey‐‐.
Hey there. Okay.
Get out!
Let me go!
- Let me go!
- You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
- I'm okay.
- Everything's okay.
Wow.
Well, now...
Now it's a party!
Okay.
Can we start the music, please?
Thank you, Marta.
You should see the other guy.
I'm fine.
We have guests who need to
see that for themselves.
Thanks for a great evening.
Thank you.
Get this one home.
Thank you. Congratulations.
Yeah.
You, too. You drive safe, okay?
Eh. Where are you off to?
I'm gonna go to Tracey's bar.
Meet Kelly.
Are you staying at her place tonight?
Uh...
Pop quiz. What part of
the limbic system houses memory?
Uh, hypothalamus?
What kind of‐How much are we paying
for that hippie school?
- You can still transfer.
- Aw,
I'm already a vegan.
Old man.
Oh. Okay, you come by
for breakfast, okay?
We'll get a run in before the flight.
Yeah, will do. Bye.
Mm.
Mm. Bye‐bye.
I've steeled myself,
so you don't need to talk around it.
So, Julie White.
Um, she was a resident.
At Ochsner?
Yeah. So, 13, uh, 14 years ago, um...
I always thought that
we had a partnership.
Different than other marriages.
Maybe it was too unspoken‐‐
We did. We, we do.
But...
She thought we were in love.
And, uh, I...
don't know what I thought.
You thought something.
Yes. Uh...
But by the time I had self‐corrected,
the board got wind, and everyone
just wanted a clean break.
Me and her.
They fired her.
It was a strategic restructuring.
I'm not proud.
No. Why should you be?
You know, men everywhere,
good men, not all of them, but some,
are going down for less than this.
And I could have shielded the blow.
Oh. What?
I thought you'd be‐‐
You aren't... upset?
Yeah, of course I'm a bit shocked‐‐
You do understand,
it was, I mean, it was an affair‐‐
You don't have to say the word.
You should have told me at the time.
Not a decade late.
After everything that I've invested‐‐
Well, it's easy to say‐‐.
Are you gonna fight me, Joe?
No. But we were still...
in the making.
And on top of all the stuff with George,
that would have wrecked us.
What stuff with George?
Uh, his nightmares.
And not sleeping.
Crying about monsters
that go bump in the night.
He didn't sleep for months.
He thought the whole place was haunted.
You, you were next to losing your mind.
Right.
I'm gonna be dead for the flight.
Hmm?
Have you packed?
Uh, no. Not yet.
Well, you'd better get to it.
Gotta look sharp when
they hand you that award.
That's it?
I don't know. Is it?
For me, yes.
Yeah. You did the best
that you could at the time.
So...
Just leave it.
It was a good party.
Yeah.
Good night.
Yeah. Good night.
Hello?
Hey, it's George. Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Hey, it's Mom.
I'm packing for New York.
I wonder where you are.
I got you a last‐minute coach seat,
and we are leaving sooner than soon.
So, time to hustle.
Um‐hmm. That was fast.
Hi‐Nance.
Ha‐Have you turned on your TV today?
‐ No, I'm, uh...
‐ I think you should‐‐
Uh, I, I, I can't understand you.
Annie, I think you should see the news‐‐
I did not turn on the news today. No.
Stewy said don't call her,
but I wanted it to come from me‐‐
Stewy said what?
I'm sorry, Annie.
What the hell is going on?
I've been fielding calls
from all over fucking New Orleans.
Jesus, what is this all about?
Come on. I think we should get Annie.
Last night, a woman named Julie White
uploaded a video onto her Twitter account.
Okay.
The contents of the video
were sensitive in nature.
Oh, it's okay.
Uh, we spoke about this last night.
Yes. Joe had a time...
...with another doctor.
She made a video?
Julie White is 19.
She's studying drama at NYU.
Um, I think I'm a little confused.
Since the video went live last night,
several other women have come forward.
And I've been told
even more are in the wind.
So, I'm lost.
There are two Julie Whites?
In the world, possibly.
This one was Joe's patient.
I pulled the
chart at the hospital this morning.
Most of the other accusations
are outside the statute of limitations.
Except one.
She's eleven.
Eleven what?
Years.
Well, that's because of the award.
Yes. Unfortunately,
the Kayhart Foundation
called this morning.
The award's been revoked.
Without proof?
Annie, please.
No, I'm sorry.
‐ Kate, I, I‐‐
‐ It's a lot. It's okay, it's a lot.
You'll have to forgive me,
but I am a wife and mother of a son.
Why are they doing this? Money?
They may seek restitution. Yes.
Will he lose his license?
He's saved lives.
And I know that
this is not popular to say,
but how is a man
supposed to move through life
with accusations at the drop of a hat?
The problem is...
the accusations are usually spot‐on.
Except here, of course.
And we can fight it.
Joe?
When you said to me last night
that we were partners,
did you mean that?
Yes. Of course.
Oh.
Oh, baby, come here.
I know it's not true. I believe you.
It's okay. We're gonna fight this.
Oh...
Annie...
I need help.
You... what?
They're children, Joe.
I'm sick.
I am a bad man.
Pediatric surgeon
and LSU med school
professor Joe Keller
has been accused of sexually assaulting
his former child patient, Julie White.
Since the release
Miss White's video on social media,
more than 40 other female patients
have come forward,
making this one of the biggest cases
of sexual abuse
in medical history.
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
He was a trusted doctor
who saved my life,
only to destroy it again.
He took advantage of my trust.
He manipulated me and my loved ones.
Everything‐‐
my relationship with my parents,
my friends,
has been affected by this event.
It has destroyed my family...
Neither Dr. Keller
nor his personal attorney
have responded for comment.
Oh, thank God. Nancy.
- I'm losing my mind.
- Are you okay?
Did you have any sense
that something like this was going on?
‐ Uh, no‐‐
‐ Because when we met him,
Joe was so good to us.
He really pulled us out
of a bad situation,
you know, money‐wise,
and I just keep thinking,
do you remember the festival
in the French Quarter
just right after we got married?
- Do you remember what you said to me?
- Uh...
‐ You said that I was different.
‐ Annie, I‐‐
What, because I was shy,
or because I‐‐
- I grew up poor...
- Annie...
Or because I was too naive
to see what was really going on with him?
I mean, how did I miss this?
Hey, it's George. Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Hey, honey.
It's me again.
Uh, I haven't heard from you.
And...
Uh, are you still at Kelly's?
Call me back.
Did you throw this?
It's a residential area.
I could turn you in for the disturbance.
Aah!
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
...sexually assaulted me.
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
...saved my life, only to...
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
...trusted doctor...
Took advantage of my trust...
He manipulated me, and my loved ones...
Everything‐my relationship
with my parents, my friends‐‐.
George?
It's me again.
I just... I haven't heard from you,
and I'm...
I wanna make sure that everything
is okay at Kelly's.
I've done something terrible.
Mom?
I got your messages.
I'm sorry it took me a minute
to get over here.
Do you remember...
...when you were a child?
Mom?
Um, someone was here last night.
Who was?
Broke the window.
Yeah, well...
Joe made the Catholic Diocese
look like holy fathers of the year.
People are pissed. No, it
wasn't people. It wasn't a person.
It, um...
You remember the monster?
When you were a kid,
you couldn't sleep.
You, you had nightmares.
Always scared of the monster.
Yeah. Yes.
I took you to that woman‐‐
You mean the shrink?
Yeah, I remember.
And?
And...
Kid stuff.
No. We...
We block things out
as we get older, because it's easier.
And the facts...
Maybe you forgot what was real.
Are you...
Are you asking if...
I didn't forget anything.
Your message said that
you'd done something terrible.
My head is all turned around.
I just...
I am very sorry, George.
You cannot know how very‐v‐‐.
Sorry for what?
You were a child,
and I did not believe you.
I could not, um...
...when you told me because, the, the...
The truth...
...was too big.
The weight of it.
You understand?
It is real.
It?
The monster.
Are you...?
Have you taken something?
What?
Drugs, or, or, or did you drink?
No. No! You, you know‐‐
Because I know all of this is hard.
I would never‐‐
You're not making any sense.
My head is a little turned around,
but you listen to me, okay?
Or... Look, I'll show you.
Mom, please. Stop avoiding.
See?
Proof. Proof.
Just sit, so we can‐‐
It was here.
It broke this one and the one upstairs.
Sit down, so we can‐‐
And the shed, and the lock.
And, uh, the teeth. It was like‐‐
S‐Sit down!
Just give me a minute.
What are you‐‐
Just‐‐.
I want to talk about what happened.
At the parade.
In the French Quarter.
Right after we, we had‐‐
just moved in with Joe.
Okay.
Did you want to say something?
I don't know what to say.
It was such a long time ago.
Jesus.
Mom, are you gonna make me do it?
You're the parent, you know.
Do what?
George...
At the parade.
Those girls. The ones that Joe...
That's me, too.
Do you understand me?
Joe hurt me.
At the parade, and I‐‐
I think we need to talk about it.
You hurt your wrist?
Yes. That was part of the,
uh, getting away.
What about the monster?
What?
At the parade. You said...
that it was chasing you.
It had black eyes. It wanted to eat you‐‐
No, Mom, I need you to stop avoiding‐‐.
It was a lie.
You were pale.
In shock‐‐
You wouldn't believe the truth.
The monster wasn't real.
The monster was Joe.
Do you want me to walk you through it?
We went to the parade‐‐
No!
No!
Mom.
Enough!
Aah!
We need to talk.
Stop. Please wait.
I can't. I can't.
No. No more waiting. It's now.
We went to the parade,
and I, I wanted dessert. Ice cream,
or... I don't remember what. But we left.
Me and Joe.
And, and we stopped at the bathroom,
and then he took me into a stall.
Honey...
Honey!
And that's when‐No, listen to me!
That never happened!
I found you in the crowd,
and I told you.
How can you act like
that didn't happen?
I spent so long trying,
trying to understand why.
I love you.
Trying, trying to make sense...
I love you, but we had nothing.
I was minimum wage,
flipping couch cushions,
searching for change.
And now there is nothing that you need
that you don't have.
Money, and, and, and UCLA.
I'm failing.
I'm flunking every class.
Academic probation.
That's what I'm telling you.
This hurdle I can't get over.
I...
I need you to say that you knew.
But I didn't.
I don't remember.
Aren't, aren't you ashamed,
or guilty, or...?
I mean, all those girls.
That's why, that's why he married you,
you know.
A low‐class hotel maid
he met on a work trip?
A desperate single mom
looking for a handout,
and he knew you would
keep your mouth shut.
He paid you off, with this big house,
and clothes, and, "Keep quiet, George."
"We don't mention this
to anyone, George."
I don't remember!
You do, because I am still him.
Scared, and huddled in the basement,
just hiding, and, and, and praying
his stepdad doesn't show up
in the middle of the night.
I mean, can't you see, Mom?
I'm...
I'm drowning.
One last shot.
For what?
George?
George? George!
George?
Oh.
Five, six, seven, eight!
Hey, Joe, I wanna walk.
All right.
Oh‐‐
George!
George!
George!
George?
George!
What?
Stay with us, please.
Stay with us, please.
Come on.
You said I could have dessert.
I don't wanna go home!
- You had ice cream before, remember?
- You said I could have dessert after.
All that sugar will make you sick.
I am not sick.
List‐‐
Hey, look at me. Hey. Okay.
Look me in the eyes.
- Is that true?
- Yes.
- That's true. That's not a lie.
- No.
- No fever? No aches?
- No.
No pains?
No.
Stick your tongue out.
Aah.
Yeah, you say "aah..."
Yeah, that checks out.
That's a healthy kid. I'm sorry.
It'll take an hour
to get across the park.
Will it take an hour
to get across the park?
No.
No.
That's a fast kid. That's a tiger.
Aren't you a tiger? What do tigers say?
Whoa!
That's what a tiger says.
Okay, fine.
Annie? Hi!
Hi!
Hi. Oh, hey.
It's Nancy.
Breaux.
Hey. Hi.
How ya doing?
How's the move?
Uh, yeah, it's fine.
I'm here with Stewy.
You met him at your wedding.
- Joe! I'm sorry.
- Yeah, yeah.
Joe! Meet me out
front, all right? Twenty minutes.
Joe. Wait!
They are so cute.
Let me see your ring.
Dead.
Yeah, I guess.
When Joe came back from New Haven
with a fiancée,
and a kid, it was like, "What?"
We didn't even know
he was seeing anybody.
Yeah, I guess it happened fast.
And you're so different.
What?
Sorry.
Joe!
Joe!
George! George!
George! Hey.
Hey.
What's the matter?
Hey, you okay?
Look at me.
Come here.
It's all right.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, thank God.
What happened? Where'd you go?
I've been so‐‐
running all over the place.
Did he tell you what happened?
Annie?
No.
Are you the dad?
Yes.
He's the stepdad.
He just said he needed
to go to the bathroom‐‐.
And then what?
Nothing. I‐Just ran off again.
You really scared me, bud.
He didn't say what happened?
He hasn't said a word.
Hey. Baby. Go on.
You're not in any trouble.
Baby, go on.
Someone was chasing me.
Who? Who was chasing you?
A monster.
Oh. Wh‐Wh‐‐
What did the monster look like?
Black eyes.
He tried to eat me.
That is scary, kid.
Are you sure...
Yes.
...that's what happened?
It wasn't a person who was chasing you?
Here, here. Let me do that for you. Thank you.
No, I'm sure.
Hey. Can you do this with your wrist?
Like that. Does that hurt?
Okay. I'm just
gonna wrap this up for you.
All right?
You're a brave little tiger, aren't you?
Just a minute.
Oh. Hey.
Car's waiting.
Hey.
He has a sprained wrist, Joe.
I know, I know. It's a story.
What happened to him?
I have never seen him so shook.
Hey. I'll talk to him.

New Orleans to go to school.
Mm.
Yeah. I want to be a gentle hy‐dentist.

A dental hygienist.
This is Annie's house, you know.
Oh, wow. It's really nice.
Thank you, thank you.
Now, when I met Annie,

Go get Joe. Tell him Georgie's home.
Oh, I'll find him.
Still haven't burned
the place down.
Aw, we miss you.
Why you got to go
all the way to California?
You got a girlfriend yet?
Yeah. Yeah, five or six.
Five or six?
...diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome.
My parents took me to
the Ochsner Center,
where we met Dr. Keller
and his incredible team.
I was able to receive a new heart,
and a new lease on life.
Now, I'm a normal high schooler,
and I even play varsity basketball.
Wow!
Joe...
Thank you for all that you do
for children like me.
And congratulations on receiving
the Kayhart Award for medical research.
I can't think of anyone more deserving.
You saved my life.
That's embarrassing.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, sweetheart.
That was terrific.
That was so sweet...
Um...
I... My name's Frank White.
Uh...
Piss, or get off the pot!
Oh, shoo.
I'm sor‐‐
I'm sorry, do I know you, Frank?
I, I, I can't seem to remember
where we met.
We, we've never met before.
But my sister told me
about the award you won.
I, uh, didn't know there'd be a party.
I didn't know there'd be a party.
Do you remember my sister?
Julie White?
She remembers you.
Um, I'm sorry. I, I can't place her.
Oh.
Excuse me. Um, this is a private event
to celebrate my husband.
So, if you aren't on the guest list...
- Think it might be time for him to leave.
- Uh...
Yeah.
Oh. Sorry. Oh.
That is why you do not do drugs.
Hey, is, uh, this thing on?
Uh, Joe, you are good guy,
but you better stay
the hell away from my sister.
Nah, I'm kidding. I'm just kidding.
Uh, congratulations on the award‐‐
Wait, hey, hey‐‐.
Hey there. Okay.
Get out!
Let me go!
- Let me go!
- You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
- I'm okay.
- Everything's okay.
Wow.
Well, now...
Now it's a party!
Okay.
Can we start the music, please?
Thank you, Marta.
You should see the other guy.
I'm fine.
We have guests who need to
see that for themselves.
Thanks for a great evening.
Thank you.
Get this one home.
Thank you. Congratulations.
Yeah.
You, too. You drive safe, okay?
Eh. Where are you off to?
I'm gonna go to Tracey's bar.
Meet Kelly.
Are you staying at her place tonight?
Uh...
Pop quiz. What part of
the limbic system houses memory?
Uh, hypothalamus?
What kind of‐How much are we paying
for that hippie school?
- You can still transfer.
- Aw,
I'm already a vegan.
Old man.
Oh. Okay, you come by
for breakfast, okay?
We'll get a run in before the flight.
Yeah, will do. Bye.
Mm.
Mm. Bye‐bye.
I've steeled myself,
so you don't need to talk around it.
So, Julie White.
Um, she was a resident.
At Ochsner?
Yeah. So, 13, uh, 14 years ago, um...
I always thought that
we had a partnership.
Different than other marriages.
Maybe it was too unspoken‐‐
We did. We, we do.
But...
She thought we were in love.
And, uh, I...
don't know what I thought.
You thought something.
Yes. Uh...
But by the time I had self‐corrected,
the board got wind, and everyone
just wanted a clean break.
Me and her.
They fired her.
It was a strategic restructuring.
I'm not proud.
No. Why should you be?
You know, men everywhere,
good men, not all of them, but some,
are going down for less than this.
And I could have shielded the blow.
Oh. What?
I thought you'd be‐‐
You aren't... upset?
Yeah, of course I'm a bit shocked‐‐
You do understand,
it was, I mean, it was an affair‐‐
You don't have to say the word.
You should have told me at the time.
Not a decade late.
After everything that I've invested‐‐
Well, it's easy to say‐‐.
Are you gonna fight me, Joe?
No. But we were still...
in the making.
And on top of all the stuff with George,
that would have wrecked us.
What stuff with George?
Uh, his nightmares.
And not sleeping.
Crying about monsters
that go bump in the night.
He didn't sleep for months.
He thought the whole place was haunted.
You, you were next to losing your mind.
Right.
I'm gonna be dead for the flight.
Hmm?
Have you packed?
Uh, no. Not yet.
Well, you'd better get to it.
Gotta look sharp when
they hand you that award.
That's it?
I don't know. Is it?
For me, yes.
Yeah. You did the best
that you could at the time.
So...
Just leave it.
It was a good party.
Yeah.
Good night.
Yeah. Good night.
Hello?
Hey, it's George. Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Hey, it's Mom.
I'm packing for New York.
I wonder where you are.
I got you a last‐minute coach seat,
and we are leaving sooner than soon.
So, time to hustle.
Um‐hmm. That was fast.
Hi‐Nance.
Ha‐Have you turned on your TV today?
‐ No, I'm, uh...
‐ I think you should‐‐
Uh, I, I, I can't understand you.
Annie, I think you should see the news‐‐
I did not turn on the news today. No.
Stewy said don't call her,
but I wanted it to come from me‐‐
Stewy said what?
I'm sorry, Annie.
What the hell is going on?
I've been fielding calls
from all over fucking New Orleans.
Jesus, what is this all about?
Come on. I think we should get Annie.
Last night, a woman named Julie White
uploaded a video onto her Twitter account.
Okay.
The contents of the video
were sensitive in nature.
Oh, it's okay.
Uh, we spoke about this last night.
Yes. Joe had a time...
...with another doctor.
She made a video?
Julie White is 19.
She's studying drama at NYU.
Um, I think I'm a little confused.
Since the video went live last night,
several other women have come forward.
And I've been told
even more are in the wind.
So, I'm lost.
There are two Julie Whites?
In the world, possibly.
This one was Joe's patient.
I pulled the
chart at the hospital this morning.
Most of the other accusations
are outside the statute of limitations.
Except one.
She's eleven.
Eleven what?
Years.
Well, that's because of the award.
Yes. Unfortunately,
the Kayhart Foundation
called this morning.
The award's been revoked.
Without proof?
Annie, please.
No, I'm sorry.
‐ Kate, I, I‐‐
‐ It's a lot. It's okay, it's a lot.
You'll have to forgive me,
but I am a wife and mother of a son.
Why are they doing this? Money?
They may seek restitution. Yes.
Will he lose his license?
He's saved lives.
And I know that
this is not popular to say,
but how is a man
supposed to move through life
with accusations at the drop of a hat?
The problem is...
the accusations are usually spot‐on.
Except here, of course.
And we can fight it.
Joe?
When you said to me last night
that we were partners,
did you mean that?
Yes. Of course.
Oh.
Oh, baby, come here.
I know it's not true. I believe you.
It's okay. We're gonna fight this.
Oh...
Annie...
I need help.
You... what?
They're children, Joe.
I'm sick.
I am a bad man.
Pediatric surgeon
and LSU med school
professor Joe Keller
has been accused of sexually assaulting
his former child patient, Julie White.
Since the release
Miss White's video on social media,
more than 40 other female patients
have come forward,
making this one of the biggest cases
of sexual abuse
in medical history.
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
He was a trusted doctor
who saved my life,
only to destroy it again.
He took advantage of my trust.
He manipulated me and my loved ones.
Everything‐‐
my relationship with my parents,
my friends,
has been affected by this event.
It has destroyed my family...
Neither Dr. Keller
nor his personal attorney
have responded for comment.
Oh, thank God. Nancy.
- I'm losing my mind.
- Are you okay?
Did you have any sense
that something like this was going on?
‐ Uh, no‐‐
‐ Because when we met him,
Joe was so good to us.
He really pulled us out
of a bad situation,
you know, money‐wise,
and I just keep thinking,
do you remember the festival
in the French Quarter
just right after we got married?
- Do you remember what you said to me?
- Uh...
‐ You said that I was different.
‐ Annie, I‐‐
What, because I was shy,
or because I‐‐
- I grew up poor...
- Annie...
Or because I was too naive
to see what was really going on with him?
I mean, how did I miss this?
Hey, it's George. Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Hey, honey.
It's me again.
Uh, I haven't heard from you.
And...
Uh, are you still at Kelly's?
Call me back.
Did you throw this?
It's a residential area.
I could turn you in for the disturbance.
Aah!
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
...sexually assaulted me.
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
...saved my life, only to...
I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
...trusted doctor...
Took advantage of my trust...
He manipulated me, and my loved ones...
Everything‐my relationship
with my parents, my friends‐‐.
George?
It's me again.
I just... I haven't heard from you,
and I'm...
I wanna make sure that everything
is okay at Kelly's.
I've done something terrible.
Mom?
I got your messages.
I'm sorry it took me a minute
to get over here.
Do you remember...
...when you were a child?
Mom?
Um, someone was here last night.
Who was?
Broke the window.
Yeah, well...
Joe made the Catholic Diocese
look like holy fathers of the year.
People are pissed. No, it
wasn't people. It wasn't a person.
It, um...
You remember the monster?
When you were a kid,
you couldn't sleep.
You, you had nightmares.
Always scared of the monster.
Yeah. Yes.
I took you to that woman‐‐
You mean the shrink?
Yeah, I remember.
And?
And...
Kid stuff.
No. We...
We block things out
as we get older, because it's easier.
And the facts...
Maybe you forgot what was real.
Are you...
Are you asking if...
I didn't forget anything.
Your message said that
you'd done something terrible.
My head is all turned around.
I just...
I am very sorry, George.
You cannot know how very‐v‐‐.
Sorry for what?
You were a child,
and I did not believe you.
I could not, um...
...when you told me because, the, the...
The truth...
...was too big.
The weight of it.
You understand?
It is real.
It?
The monster.
Are you...?
Have you taken something?
What?
Drugs, or, or, or did you drink?
No. No! You, you know‐‐
Because I know all of this is hard.
I would never‐‐
You're not making any sense.
My head is a little turned around,
but you listen to me, okay?
Or... Look, I'll show you.
Mom, please. Stop avoiding.
See?
Proof. Proof.
Just sit, so we can‐‐
It was here.
It broke this one and the one upstairs.
Sit down, so we can‐‐
And the shed, and the lock.
And, uh, the teeth. It was like‐‐
S‐Sit down!
Just give me a minute.
What are you‐‐
Just‐‐.
I want to talk about what happened.
At the parade.
In the French Quarter.
Right after we, we had‐‐
just moved in with Joe.
Okay.
Did you want to say something?
I don't know what to say.
It was such a long time ago.
Jesus.
Mom, are you gonna make me do it?
You're the parent, you know.
Do what?
George...
At the parade.
Those girls. The ones that Joe...
That's me, too.
Do you understand me?
Joe hurt me.
At the parade, and I‐‐
I think we need to talk about it.
You hurt your wrist?
Yes. That was part of the,
uh, getting away.
What about the monster?
What?
At the parade. You said...
that it was chasing you.
It had black eyes. It wanted to eat you‐‐
No, Mom, I need you to stop avoiding‐‐.
It was a lie.
You were pale.
In shock‐‐
You wouldn't believe the truth.
The monster wasn't real.
The monster was Joe.
Do you want me to walk you through it?
We went to the parade‐‐
No!
No!
Mom.
Enough!
Aah!
We need to talk.
Stop. Please wait.
I can't. I can't.
No. No more waiting. It's now.
We went to the parade,
and I, I wanted dessert. Ice cream,
or... I don't remember what. But we left.
Me and Joe.
And, and we stopped at the bathroom,
and then he took me into a stall.
Honey...
Honey!
And that's when‐No, listen to me!
That never happened!
I found you in the crowd,
and I told you.
How can you act like
that didn't happen?
I spent so long trying,
trying to understand why.
I love you.
Trying, trying to make sense...
I love you, but we had nothing.
I was minimum wage,
flipping couch cushions,
searching for change.
And now there is nothing that you need
that you don't have.
Money, and, and, and UCLA.
I'm failing.
I'm flunking every class.
Academic probation.
That's what I'm telling you.
This hurdle I can't get over.
I...
I need you to say that you knew.
But I didn't.
I don't remember.
Aren't, aren't you ashamed,
or guilty, or...?
I mean, all those girls.
That's why, that's why he married you,
you know.
A low‐class hotel maid
he met on a work trip?
A desperate single mom
looking for a handout,
and he knew you would
keep your mouth shut.
He paid you off, with this big house,
and clothes, and, "Keep quiet, George."
"We don't mention this
to anyone, George."
I don't remember!
You do, because I am still him.
Scared, and huddled in the basement,
just hiding, and, and, and praying
his stepdad doesn't show up
in the middle of the night.
I mean, can't you see, Mom?
I'm...
I'm drowning.
One last shot.
For what?
George?
George? George!
George?
Oh.
