"I had to file a fake police report and everything." "How deep are the cuts?" "Deep." "God, and I-I can't stop thinking about that mouth." "It was a mask." "He was purposely trying to terrorize you."

"What do you mean, the-the crime that took place here?" "Were you aware of that before you came to see me?" "Dude, you're on the Murder House tour." "I see." "I had assumed you found me through the Screen Actors Guild insurance list." "Yeah, yeah, totally." "Then I got here, and I couldn't believe it." "I almost didn't ring the bell." "But then I thought, "This must be my lucky day."" "(laughs softly) So, your career, how's that going?" "Kind of slow." "Did the murder happen in here?" "I don't know, Bianca." "I'm more interested in your nightmare." "Have you ever suffered from any sexual abuse?" "Like molested?" "No." "Sounds to me like your dream is an expression of some emotional pain you're repressing." "Part of you feels... separate, shut down." "You're reaching for it like you reached for your missing legs, but... all you find is a bloody stump." "What do you think might be shut down in you, Bianca?" "I don't know." "I think I'm just afraid of being cut in half." "Hello, Mrs. Langdon?" "It's Ben Harmon, Tate's therapist." "Mrs. Langdon, I'm calling because I can't treat your son anymore." "I'd like to give you the number of another psychiatrist who I think could help him." "Because your son has crossed a line with my daughter." "That's so weird." "I thought you had left." "I got turned around." "How many rooms in this house?" "Uh, excuse me, uh, one second, Mrs. Langdon." "That's why I prefer my patients to use the front door." "I'm so tweaked out." "It's gonna get easier, Bianca." "Staring down your fears, facing them head-on, is the best thing you can do." "You were brave today." "Cool." "I got it." "Mm." "I'm so sorry." "I mean, l-look, they're teenagers." "I understand your concern." "(door creaks)" "I'm just not comfortable continuing treatment in my home."

"Oh, Christ on a stick," "I don't know, finger-painting." "Get me that ipecac syrup out of the cupboard there, honey." "In the brown jar." "Thanks, baby." "Does this make the cupcakes taste good?" "You can't actually taste it, no." "It's, uh... it causes violent stomach upset, and sometimes internal bleeding." "Okay." "Spit in it."

"But... now that they're, well, you know, dead, and, uh, I have terminal brain cancer," "I figure... maybe I should just go for it, you know?" "Chase that dream." "What about you?" "What dream are you chasing?" "Or should I say, what dream is chasing you?" "Leave me alone." "It's the house, isn't it?" "Wrong." "Whatever's tearing you apart, the house already knows about it."

"I just wanted to bring these by as a little peace offering for Addy disturbing your slumber." "Thank you." "I think I'm gonna have to start strapping her in at night again."

"I'm a sucker for penance." "No, she's-she's not here." "I'll come back." "Constance?" "I know this is a crazy question, but do you smell anything else about the baby?" "Two sugars and a great deal of half and half." "Are you worried about something in particular?" "I told you, those are for Violet." "She's not gonna eat both." "We can split it." "Mmm..." "Mmm..." "Can I ask you a personal question?" "If you had known about Addy before she was born... would you have done something?" "When I first met you, you said that if they'd had the tests back then that you might have..." "Oh, don't think I didn't think about it, even after she was born, leaving that little bug-eye out in the cold." "That's what they do in China." "But a mother... never turns her back on her child." "Every one of mine was pure love." "You have other kids?" "I have four." "I should've stopped after the first." "(laughs softly)" "My womb is cursed." "My husband was the spitting image of Van Johnson." "You'd think we'd make little... cherub children, fat and lively, but it wasn't meant to be." "I think... our beauty... was an affront to the gods." "All four of them had Downs?" "Or some such malady." "Except for one." "He was a model of physical perfection." "He was my gift." "But I lost him to other things." "Your baby's fine." "Enough sad talk." "I'm off." "What are we gonna do about Addy, Constance?" "Well..." "(laughs)" "Oh, cupcake." "Not for you." "(door opens)" "Moira, darling." "Put these away somewhere until little Violet can have them." "The Harmons here are offending my largess." "And don't forget the crumbs on the table." "Moira and I go way back." "Isn't that right?" "Why, I even employed her for a time." "I hope her dusting has improved." "Your sense of humor was, and continues to be, a delight." "Is there anything more wonderful than the promise of a new child?" "Or more heartbreaking when that promise is broken?" "(door squeaks shut)" "I'll bring this to the car." "Thank you." "(sighs)" "(door closes)" "Is everybody crazy?" "(laughs)" "I wish you could come with me." "Yeah, me, too." "(gentle music playing)" "(knocking)" "I turned it down." "What do you want?" "VIVIEN:" "Can I come in?" "Hi." "Our kooky neighbor made you cupcakes." "Huh." "A candied violet." "That's clever." "Want to watch a movie?" "I figured since your dad's gone tonight, we could have a little girl's night." "Yeah." "No, thanks." "Thought it might be fun to hang out." "Can't." "Homework." "Are you mad at me about something?" "Why don't you eat it since you're eating for two now?" "What, you think I'm stupid?" "You stopped drinking wine at dinner, and you're gaining weight in your face." "I was gonna tell you tonight." "You know the statistics, when you have a baby over 40." "Yeah, I do." "You want to talk about it?" "No, thanks." "I'm good." "Having a baby isn't going to keep you and Dad together, if that's what you're thinking." "Wow, Violet." "I am really appreciating your optimism on this." "Really am."

"Sleeping with a married guy, my teacher?" "Could I be more textbook?" "It's not who I want to be anymore." "I just need your support right now." "You got it." "When I imagine lying there on that table tomorrow morning, it's just so sad." "Our baby." "Wasn't meant to be." "(sighs)" "To you, Hayden, for handling this with grace and maturity." "(glasses clinking)" "Um, listen, to, uh, be clear, I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna sleep on the couch tonight." "I just need you till it's over." "Then you go back to Saint Vivien, and I go back to Personality Theory and Psychopathology." "(chuckle) Not so ba." "(doorbell rings)" "(gasps) Pizza!" "Yay!" "Are you kidding me?" "I-I just need to check this..." "Sorry." "Am I in a time warp?" "Did I not just two seconds ago hear you say no calls?" "Give me your phone." "Hayden, no."

"How did you get hurt?" "Can't you see the blood on my face?" "He's out here." "Let me in." "What kind of woman are you?" "He's coming." "He's gonna stab me!" "I'm-I'm..." "I'm gonna get help."

"What's the matter?" "Where's your phone?" "In my bag upstairs." "Go, go, go, go, go get it." "Dial 911." "(doorbell chimes)" "Who's that?" "Just go into your room, lock the door, don't come out until I tell you... now!" "VIVIEN:" "Stop it!" "I am not letting you in this house!" "I have called 911." "The police are on their way!" "(screaming)" "I have money." "Please just take anything." "We're not here to rob you." "Masks off." "The transcript was very clear." "The nurses saw R. Franklin;" "he had nothing to hide." "12 minutes." "Then the fun begins." "I have a surprise for you." "No way." "I got it on eBay." "Authenticated." "It's the one he used to bash Maria." "Let me see it." "Holy shit." "Can feel the energy in this." "This is bitchin'." "Who goes first?" "Which one is Gladys?" "Screw you, psycho!" "I'm not putting this on." "You have to." "Everything has to be perfect." "Take your clothes off!" "No!" "(screams) Put it on me!" "Mom!" "Oh, you'll both be wearing uniforms." "R. Franklin hated nurses." "He had a bad experience with the mercury in a broken thermometer." "That's why he took Gladys upstairs and drowned her in the tub." "(muffled yelling)" "And you, Maria-- he saved you for last." "R. Franklin was the first." "Before Manson." "He changed the culture." "We're paying tribute to him." "We're not going to be part of your reenactment." "Put this on." "You won't like it if I have to make you." "(screams)" "Tate, they're trying to kill me and my mom!" "You have to get them to the basement." "What the hell are you talking about?" "The basement!" "Just do it!" "Some serious art, man." "Why are you trying to cover it up?" "Decided I didn't like it." "(chair creaking)" "It's all over, Mama." "Nobody's coming to help you." "You don't have to, you know." "You could just stop it." "Oh, but I don't want to, silly." "Well, I don't think you're gonna kill me tonight, 'cause I think that someone is going to stop this, and they're gonna get help, and you all are gonna fry." "Brutal." "(water running upstairs)" "What's taking you so long?" "So, are these vintage?" "Nurses' catalogue." "Really?" "You're eating?" "It was, like, sitting there saying, "Eat me."" "Step on it!" "Time's a-wastin', sister." "Tell me what's going on downstairs." "You got all the cell phones?" "Yeah, I..." "I told you." "The one in the kitchen and..." "Ooh, stomachache." "Answer me!" "What's he doing to my mother?" "Jesus, I'm gonna shit myself." "Not in the staging area!" "Just don't start without me." "Are you kidding me?" "It's 10:57." "Get in the tub." "Bianca, it's almost time!" "You have to put someone under water for three minutes until they lose consciousness." "The brain begins to die from oxygen deprivation." "(laughs)" "This is funny to you?" "What's funny is how you think you know everything about this house, and clearly, you know nothing." "This isn't even the right tub." "Second floor bathroom." "I used to study the crime scene photos." "The one he used is in the basement." "We totally remodeled this bathroom." "You think I'm gonna fall for that?" "It's a grimy claw-foot tub with a chrome faucet." "Go look." "(sighs)" "Bianca?" "!" "Can I ask you a question?" "Is it pillow talk?" "I don't know what that means." "No, of course you don't." "Do you think I could model?" "I think there isn't a closed door in the world that beauty can't open." "You're beautiful, too, you know." "Oh." "Dance with me." "There's no music." "(laughs)" "That's all right." "We'll make our own." "(knocking)" "I told you" "I was in a business meeting." "There's a bad man next door!" "I know."

"What was your business there?" "Uh, I was seeing a patient..." "Ginny Blevens." "A, uh... real patient?" "Unlike... her, I mean?" "This is the female you say you saw on Wednesday morning?" "Yes." "Yes, that's her." "She must have been casing the house." "I'd..." "I'd never seen her before." "And you won't see her again." "We found her six blocks from here practically cut in half." "Looks like maybe she couldn't go through with it." "Ran off." "Her friends went after her, tried to do a Black Dahlia on her." "Seems your attackers were obsessed with famous L.A. murders." "Had a little club going." "Planned to re-create more than a few." "We're still looking." "Don't worry." "Even in a town this big, people don't just disappear." "I'm gonna check the kitchen for more prints." "Your mom said that you told her that Tate helped you escape?" "Yeah." "Thanks for not dragging him into all that." "What was he doing in the house?"
