Previously on "Devil in Silver"...
If you can find those keys, they will still work.
You could be here a lot longer than two weeks
if you push me.
Where are your loved ones to advocate for you?
Why haven't they rescued you yet?
How come you never told me you had a child, Pepper?
I like the new man. Make sure he stays.
If he leaves, I will kill you.
What is that down there? I asked Dori...
Don't look. He'll see.
I thought you'd like this book
because it's sympathetic to all of you.
Aah!
Aaah!
Aah! Aah!
It's over. You're okay. Aaah!
Look at me, for Christ's sake!
I can't be here, I can't, I can't.
- Pepper. - No!
I need you to relax.
What was it? What was it?
What was what? The thing. The thing.
What was it? Pepper...
I heard that you got caught with a set of stolen keys.
What? My keys.
You became upset. Harming yourself.
Harming myself? The staff had to restrain you.
Who on the staff has fur, huh?
They confronted you. That's what I was told.
Listen to me. You know that's bullshit.
You know it.
Just...
let me check you. Please?
Alright.
Where's the worst pain?
It's in my back.
I can feel it. It's totally out.
I'll ask Miss Chris if I can give you some muscle relaxers.
Oh, yeah.
Ask her to call me a cab while she's at it.
Head injuries bleed like crazy.
Looks a lot worse than it is.
Aah!
You're okay, you're okay.
Aah!
I'll, um, send Scotch Tape to clean that up.
Yeah.
Father, son, and Holy Ghost,
Father, son and Holy Ghost.
Oh. Aaaah!

Oh. Coffey. What happened to me?
It is good you are alive.
I'm missing a quarter. Come on, Coffey.
Be straight with me, man. Come on.
Please. Coffey?
They found out you took the keys.
When the staff confronted you, you began hurting yourself.
They had to restrain you.
Oh, Jesus.
They got to you, too, huh?
Here, I thought we were friends.
What was his name? Your friend?
Charlie, hmm?
That thing killed him, didn't it?
What is it?
You said Brongden fought it and lost.
I need that quarter. You seen it?
"Father, son and Holy Ghost." That's what you were yelling.
What is it, Coffey? What are they covering up, hmm?
They don't have any control. Just like us.
They're the ones in charge, pal.
No, they aren't.
Come with me.
Alright. That's close enough.
A malevolent presence resides in this hospital.
It lives behind that door.
Jesus.
It is the devil.
It lives in there.
That's what hurt you.
And it will keep hurting you
until you comply or you die.
Now, can I have my quarter?
Maybe you got the right idea,
but you're calling the wrong people.
I could call someone who might actually pick up.
May help.
Fine.
But it wants you here,
and it will fight to keep you, one way or another.
_
Hey, this is Anthony. Leave a message.
Anthony.
This is, um...
I got your letter.
Sorry about your mom.
I am, really.
Look, okay.
I wanted to call sooner, but I've... I've been tied up.
So, listen, I really want to meet you,
and, um, it's just your timing is...
it's a little shitty.
I mean, it's not your fault.
Marisol said she'd give you the address here,
and I'm having a hard time.
I could use some real help,
if you feel... if you feel like visiting...
Oh, oh. Hey, hey, hey.
What's the matter?
That pay phone owe you money?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait. Wait. - Yeah?
Okay. Oh. Whoa.
Yeah, I'd, uh, hate to see the other guy.
Look, it's time for book club.
Unless you'd like to be marked non-compliant?
Thank you.
I know.
I told you I heard something last night.
You know what happened to me.
You all do. Sure.
Almost everybody in here has been through it.
What the hell was it?
He doesn't mean to do it.
"He"?
So... who wants to guess what I've got?
Burial plot brochures?
Well, you were right about Cuckoo's Nest.
I-I wasn't reading the room.
But let's try something completely different.
Action.
Adventure.
The high seas.
And nothing to do with mental hospitals.
There you are.
So, who knows what "Jaws" is about?
There's a shark in the water,
and nobody's doing a damn thing about it.
Okay. Anybody else?
Shark's got to eat.
You might as well feed it
people nobody cares about.
There's blood in the water again.
Everybody's got to keep their eyes open.
Don't swim alone.
Let's try to stay focused, shall we?
I don't really know... Wait, wait.
Let's everybody try it.
It's my fault.
I never should have let you take those keys.
You said "he." Who is it?
He used to be nice.
I'm in a wheelchair! Look at me!
What's his name?
Coffey told you.
Names have power.
It's not good to say it.
Oh, Dory, don't start that shit again...
You talk about it, you...
You know what they called that son of a bitch.
He's a violent...
People!
Now.
You know this is a safe space, right?
Huh?
You can talk to me.
They all think we're crazy anyway.
We might as well put it all on the table.
I'm listening.
Put what on the table?
Nothing. Nothing.
Is everything okay? Yeah.
Seems like we have a room full of ichthyologists.
We're reading "Jaws" this week.
I see.
Well, proceed with your discussion.
Act like I'm not here.
Huh.
Oh, alrighty.
Dr. Anand.
Could we talk about what happened to Pepper?
Let's go to Sal's this week.
Sal's?
Patients are anxious.
We need to... bring the tenor down.
Five milligrams?
10 it is.
Sal, it's Miss Chris over at New Hyde.
Well, I'd like for them to come Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
It'll be about ten of them.
Mm-hmm.
What's this new one?
It's what I gave you.
Well, yes.
Well, Scotch Tape was gonna be with me, that's alright.
At least two people.
Okay, Sal, I appreciate that, yes.
What's... What's this little white one?
What is it?
Delicious.
Lorazepam.
Drug class benzodiazepine.
- 10 milligrams. - 10 milligrams.
Used to treat seizures, insomnia, and anxiety.
By making you forget you have any.
We all got 'em.
Whenever there's a shark attack,
the staff likes to throw us a bone.
And, sweetie, your little episode
earned us the biggest bone of all.
What the hell is she talking about?
Lorazepam added to the regimen.
And a trip to Sal's Pizza on Wednesday.
- Trip? Yeah, right. - Yeah.
They do it to remind us that we're not...
prisoners.
It could have killed me.
Coffey, you said there are others.
Jesus, the scars on the people in this place.
The fear.
He doesn't want to do it.
Dr. Walter makes him do it.
Who's. Dr Walter?
What's behind that silver door, hmm?
The only patient who's been here longer than me.
Patient?
Oh, the thing I saw wasn't even...
I already told you what it is.
So...
What happened to Pepper?
I... wasn't there.
They told me he had a violent outburst
and had to be restrained by some of the staff last night.
A violent outburst
warrants that kind of physical reciprocation?
And then what?
You just let him roll around the ward?
Look, I-I only do book club.
What do I know?
It's just today,
it seems the patients were making
some thinly veiled accusations.
That's the kind of thing I would expect
someone to report, don't you?
I'm new, so my opinion is just, uh...
My honest opinion is you are my superior,
and I defer to your judgment, doctor.
Hmm.
_
Hello? Is anyone there?
Hello?
Are you okay? Huh?
Hang on.
Oh, shit.
Hello? Huh?
Hello?!
Wait.
No, God!
Happening right now,
a public interest group has turned in a video
with several local teens reportedly exploring
a popular local
and the vandals were caught on camera.
WRC 22 reporter Sharon Vaughn shows...
You ought to be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs right now.
Look at this place. It's like...
It's like "Night of the Living Dead" in here.
I don't take meds.
What, like, ever?
I take it, I can't draw.
They let you get away with that? Don't they notice?
I gave up trying to get out of here a long time ago,
so what's the point?
They can write whatever they want on their little sheets.
I'm not going anywhere.
You gave up?
Geez.
You sound like a lifer.
Hey, listen.
The thing that put me in this chair,
did it ever come for you, too?
Nope.
But you've seen it? Of course I've seen it, dumb ass.
Well, Coffey says it's one thing.
And Dory, she says is something else.
What do you say?
It's in my room...
some nights.
Stands in the corner, in the shadows.
Climbs out of my bad dreams.
That's what it is.
I can't really even see it,
but... I could feel it watching me.
And it doesn't hurt you?
Why not?
I don't know.
But I don't fuck with it, and it don't fuck with me.
I don't move, I don't breathe, I don't close my eyes.
I don't give it a reason.
What makes you think it needs a reason?
I didn't give it a reason.
Your whole entire vibe is a reason.
No one should have to live like this.
Just waiting to die.
Drugged up for the slaughterhouse.
That's all this is.
Someone's gotta do something.
You can hide under the covers if you want,
but I won't.
Who'd you call?
Don't matter. Nothing came of it.
Do you even remember your life before all this?
I was a structural engineer
back in Ghana.
No shit.
I knew you were smart.
What, did you build stuff?
I designed a few things.
Freeways.
A footbridge over the Tema motorway in Accra.
Damn, you baller.
I bet you miss it.
Ghana?
I bet you miss this, huh?
You ever go off your meds in here?
Like, completely.
I stopped once.
They were so used to me being compliant,
they didn't even notice.
January 2009.
How'd you feel?
Blue skies.
What do you feel now?
Tired.
Tired is not an emotion.
You have a visitor.
Me? Must be someone special.
Hey, Pepper.
How's it hanging?
Hey, what happened to you?
A trio of dipshit cops had their overtime cut,
and in order to avoid unpaid paperwork
they dropped me in a mental institution.
Oh, is it funny to you?
The delivery more than the content.
I came to talk with you.
Thought it might go easier if you saw a familiar face.
Well, if you want to soothe your guilty conscience,
you can start by getting me out.
Hmm?
What do you think I'm doing here?
So, really, what happened?
Well. Let's see.
I stole some keys.
And when the staff confronted me,
I became violent.
Yeah, that seems to be the official story.
Well, I guess it must be true then, huh?
You're a big guy.
I mean, strong enough to go against three cops
without giving it a second thought?
Yeah, that turn you on?
And you want me to believe
that an old nurse
and one orderly put you in this chair?
He got a jump on me. Who?
I'm still figuring that out.
Humor me.
I don't know, some fucked up patient.
Shit.
Just say it.
My roommate thinks it's the devil.
I'm glad you think that's hilarious.
No, it's just... it's just the devil.
The devil, as in develle? Diafol? Diabolos?
Or do you mean Ahriman?
His earlier name.
The very first one?
That devil?
I guess.
You think you belong here?
Fuck, no. Yeah. Me, neither.
But everyone in here feels that way.
And no one wants to be stuck inside forever.
Well, you had a big part to play in that.
So, how are you gonna help me fix it?
We're gonna get you out of here, Pepper.
I just had to make sure that you were up for it
because when the time comes, I'm...
I'm going to need a favor, too.
Sure. Mm?
Hmm.
Well, that's good to hear.
I'm gonna hold you to that.
Why'd you come tonight if you can't take me now?
I was around.
Alright, John Wayne. Three full days off your meds.
Look at you go, huh?
How'd you feel?
Maybe save the gymnastics for Operation Pizza, huh?
Mnh-mnh-mnh.
And you're sure there's no alarm on the back door?
I've been going to Pam and Pizza twice a year
since it was owned by the original Sal.
The new guy's name is David.
He took the name Sal because he doesn't think
anybody wants to buy pizza from an Armenian.
No, he's got a point.
And he's cheap. Really let the place go.
No way there's an alarm.
Good enough for me.
Just walk past the kitchen and right on out.
You sure you still want to do this, right?
Blue skies.
But how do we get onto a bus without any money?
Oh, man, I've been sneaking on buses
through the back door since I was 10.
That's the easy part.
And...
Here I come,
the third wheel to muck it all up.
So, I asked around, and we want to get on the Q32.
It goes all the way up Casino Boulevard
to a nice shopping mall full of the Chinese.
No no, no.
What, Dory, did you go off your meds?
Did you tell her we were going off the meds?
She comes, too. She's a walking liability.
She's my friend.
A local diver, Brock,
navigates the crystal clear waters
off the coast of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea,
off the Caribbean Sea coast.
Worried it's not going to work?
What?
Your prison break from Sal's.
You said you weren't gonna hide under the covers.
I didn't know that meant you were gonna run away.
Once I get out, I can get real help.
Oh, is that what you're gonna do?
You gonna help us?
I'm looking for Peter Coffin.
He's right over there.
Anthony. Wow.
Um...
Peter Coffin?
Give us a sec.
So, you go by Tony or...
- Anthony. - Right.
Everyone calls me Pepper.
Huh?
I'm sorry about your mom.
I'm surprised to see you.
The voicemail I left...
you know, I tend to ramble.
I wasn't sure if I was going to come myself,
but Marisol called me a couple of times,
told me it might be good if I checked on you, so...
Yeah.
Yeah, they say family members are the only ones
who can really help you get out of here.
I'm not family.
I don't even got your last name.
Marisol... is she good?
Yeah, she sounded fine.
I'm really sorry we had to meet this way.
Coffey?
Joining us for pizza?
Time to line up.
I grew up visiting my mother in places like this.
And she was in and out all over the city for years.
I-I didn't know that. I'm sorry.
Listen, thank you for coming.
I-I didn't know where else to turn.
Right. You needed something.
Alright, hold up, hold up.
Look, let's start over, okay?
My bad.
Tell me about yourself.
Please.
I'm in school.
Queens College.
Sam. Sammy. Almost pizza time.
Pizza, pizza.
That's good. That's really good.
What... What do you study?
Well, I'm a I'm a grad student.
I'm planning on being a social worker.
Wow.
Why?
Why do I want to help people?
I know what it's like to not get help.
Mr. Mac, Frank,
we're lining up for pizza in the hall.
What's this, a bill?
A quote from a funeral home.
$3,000.
You came here for money?
I figured three grand over the course of 22 years
isn't such a bad deal for you.
You having her cremated? Why?
Because of the condition of the body
when they found her.
What happened to her?
She fell.
A long way down.
Am I boring you?
What? No. Uh... no.
It's just, um...
You just came at a really bad time.
You know, it's, uh... It's pizza night.
Oh, sure. Sure. Cool.
Hey, uh, cards, pizza.
You seem like you're doing just fine in here.
Good to see you, Peter Coffin.
Sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you guys to wrap it up.
Pepper, are you joining us?
I'm about to do a head count.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
You know, I used to think that you were too good for us,
but now I can see that we dodged a bullet.
Everyone ready to go?
Oh, well, we need to talk about Pepper
and what happened to him.
He's beat so bad, he needs a wheelchair.
I saw him walking a little the last day or two.
He's okay.
The patient.
I don't know how he gets out, but he does.
And I don't have enough staff to cover his damn room 24/7.
But then he hurt another patient.
Almost killed him.
Okay, only you and I have a key to the silver door.
So, we will check it and we'll go through every inch.
We've done that and done it again.
Okay, and we will keep doing it again and again
until we figure out how he is getting out.
I need you to understand
how close we are to losing all of this.
Oh, would it be that much of a loss?
I know you're tired.
I'm tired, too.
But we're all they have.
? I like New York in June ?
- You're smiling. - No, you're smiling.
OK. This way.
? I like the Gershwin tune ?
? How about you? ?
? I like a fireside... ?
Who was that guy?
? When a storm is due... ?
The guy who just came to see you?
Dory, get back in line now!
Social worker.
We thought you'd be interested to know that me and Mr. Waverly
decided to leave Pamela back at the ranch.
Well, it's okay.
Dory told us about your plan.
Yeah, and he gave us the scoop.
And we 86ed our happy meds, too.
Both of you?
Us two, those two,
Dory and Coffey, everybody.
Solidarity, man.
If you all don't get back in line now,
I'll cancel pizza.
No.
Test me.
"Test me."
Test me.
Hey, Sal.
And there'll be no pizza unless I have backsides in every seat.
- Come. - Can't wait to have my pizza, pizza, pizza.
I'm hot, man.
Hello. Thank you for calling Sal's Pizzeria.
You saw me give them the lorazepam, right?
Yes.
Hey, you gotta keep the jacket on.
- Hold on. - What now, what now?
This might actually make it easier than I thought.
They're going off their meds.
Gives us a nice little distraction.
I didn't see a letter grade in the window when we came in.
New York City now requires restaurants
to post letter grades that correspond to scores received
from sanitary inspections.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Alright, we're leaving, okay? Mm-hmm.
Count to 30, and you meet me out back, alright?
Inspection score of zero to 13 is an A.
14 to 27 points is a B,
and 28 or more points is a C.
So, if they don't have it,
if they don't even, they don't even... stop.
They don't have it.
Look, we need food.
We get the pizza now, they eat, and we go back.
That's it.
Come on now, Sue, everything's alright.
I gotta talk to you. Yo. John Bowne High School.
Scott, dude. Scott Novak, class of '94.
You were a drummer, right? In that metal band.
What was it called?
Rhino. Yeah. Yeah yeah.
Yeah, I was... I was in Rhino.
Oh! Yeah, I told you it was him.
Right.
You guys used to play l'Amour.
Oh, those were the days. You still play?
Pepper? Lucci? Rejoin the group.
You with those re... Those what?
Hey. Let's go. Now.
Alright, you and me.
Alright, you don't belong here.
What about Coffey?
It's not clean.
I just want it to be clean.
He ain't making it.
You're just gonna leave him here?
You did that to him. I didn't know he needed meds.
Alright?
He's a structural engineer, for Christ's sake.
- I don't even know what that is. - What about now?
You think he needs them now?
Obviously, I misjudged that situation. Okay?
We can talk about what a piece of shit I am
when we're on the bus.
Alright, let's go.
Lucci, come on.
It's obvious there's nothing wrong with you.
Okay, so, let me get you out of here.
Let me help you.
Bah! Please don't.
Bah!
Oh!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Excuse me?
I couldn't help but notice that you're not eating.
We were still picking, actually.
Just go back to your table, okay?
Dory, come on. Hmm.
Sal, do something about these retards, would you?
Shut your mouth!
Hey, hey, I think you're done.
Get your hands off me!
Touch me again. Touch me again.
Have you lost your mind? You lost your mind!
Get her the fuck out of here!
Hey!
Aaah!
Everybody out of my mother fucking restaurant!
These.
These were found in the hallway planter.
And we found them all over the unit.
Just... widespread non-compliance.
In my 15 years at Newheight,
I have never seen anything like it.
You people, you need your meds.
This is why we prescribe them.
From here on out, compliance will be total.
The ward is now eyes on.
You watch TV, the staff is aware.
You're in your rooms, the staff is aware.
And if compliance continues to be a problem,
we will move to one-on-one.
We'll watch you eat. We'll watch you sleep.
We'll watch you shit, we will watch you piss.
Five minutes till lights out.
Sam. Sammy. Come on, let's go.
Frank, Mr. Mac, you too.
Time to go.
That's quite enough excitement for today.
You want me to thank you for coming back?
I don't thank people for doing shit they're supposed to do.
Dory, I need you to tell me about the patient.
The one behind the silver door.
When I talk about him, I just get sad.
Dory, please.
We should just leave it alone.
Keep... Keep our heads down and comply.
Then we'll all be okay.
I am not okay!
None of this is okay!
Hey! Whoa whoa, whoa! Careful.
The man in there is a touch tricky.
You keep turning up.
Yeah, I told you I would get you out of here.
There's something in here no one wants me to see.
I'll show you something.
Who are you, really?
Who am I? Uh, Pepper, I'm your pal.
Let me show you what I'll do if you don't want to be friends.
Did he show you?
Yeah.
He showed me.
He showed me it's either him or us.
Hey. No.
We're together on this.
All four of us.
And we are gonna kill that shark.
"In Brody's dreams,
deep water was populated by slimy, savage things...
that rose from below and shredded his flesh.
By demons that cackled and moaned."
