Starting point is 00:02:03 Creepy presents. Good Dr. Locklear, credited to Madame Macab. There was nothing but groggy swirls of illusionistic euphoria. The drugs they had administered to him were too powerful for anything else. His senses were obstructed, and he was alone with the cackling voices inside his head. They grew louder and louder until he could no longer bear it. He tried desperately to claw at his face. to do anything to hush the dull roar.
Starting point is 00:02:46 But it was in vain, as his arms were strapped securely to his chest by the straight jacket that subdued him. He collapsed onto the doy floor beneath him. He had been in this miserable cell for who knows how many days now, perhaps even weeks or months. God forbid years.
Starting point is 00:03:08 He had long since lost track of time, yet he did not care. Those damn fools, who the hell did they think they were, locking him up? Him, a man of science, a bringer of societal advances, and a hero to mankind. They would regret this, all of them. If they would not have him as their savior, they would have him as their end maker. His brow twitched for a moment as he will the way the power of, headache that always seemed to follow the voices. It was agonizing, but he was glad for it.
Starting point is 00:03:51 The pain seemed to flush his mind of the heavy psychotropic drugs that the nurses had given him in an effort to keep him from harming himself. Huh. Funny. Because it wasn't his own safety they would need to fear for. As the pain subdued and his vision began to clear, he laid quietly in his cell. It was dark, and the only sound was that of his own shaky breaths, shaking off the last of the groggyness he tried to focus. Yes, this would be the day. Now that his mind was free from the iron grip of the drugs, it all came rushing back to him. It had indeed been months that he had been locked up in this damned place. He had been captured inside the home of one of his patience. He couldn't for the life of him understand why the police had busted down the door
Starting point is 00:04:49 and taken him away by force. It had to have been the work of an enemy or a rival practitioner that would benefit from his absence. That was the only logical explanation. In all his years of service to humanity, he'd only ever striven to help people. He cared a great deal for his patients, and they certainly were far better off with him in their lives. So why this? For a moment he thought back to a previous patient, a sweet little girl named Anna. She was no more than seven years old. He remembered how weak and sickly she was before he began treating her.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Her lungs were weak, and she could barely walk on her own. Without treatment, he assumed she probably was. would not have made it to eight. Tragically, no matter how hard he willed it, he could not picture her face. Those vile bastards would pay for robbing him of his precious memories. Had he been able to finish her treatment? Was she now strong and healthy enough to play with the other little girls? It was killing him.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Just then he heard the rusty creek of the door to his holding cell. As if snapped from a daze, his mind began rapidly buzzing over the details he had prepared over the previous months during his short periods of consciousness between medication doses. This would indeed be his last night in cell 399. Consciousness rushing back to him. He dove to the wall directly to his left. He could just barely make out the familiar circular shape of one of the buttons attached to the padded material that covered the room.
Starting point is 00:06:44 He swiftly leaned forward and gingerly rapidly rapid. his teeth around it, pulling as quickly as he could manage without snapping the feeble string attaching it to the plush-white fabric. This night had been a long time coming. Over the last month he had slaved away in secrecy to bring the fruits of his efforts to harvest. His plan was ingenious. And if his hands weren't strapped firmly to his chest, he would have given himself a pat on the back. He froze for a moment. The creaking of the door handle stopped. could hear muffled speech outside of his cell, followed by footsteps that gradually grew fainter. A lucky break.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Another patient had likely begun to make a fuss, buying him more time before the night nurse came to check in on him. He resumed gently pulling on the button until a carefully carved square of the plush fabric came popping out. He spat it to the floor and peered into the newly revealed crevice to reveal what would be the master key to his escape. weeks ago, in one of his brief moments of consciousness, he had been struck the brilliant idea in how he could finally be free from this torturous stronghold. Thus, for the following weeks he began to prepare. During one of his feeding periods, one of the only times he was let out of his cell, and had the majority of his restraints removed, he had managed to nab a fork.
Starting point is 00:08:17 He would have preferred a knife. But these people were not complete idiots, and only allowed blunt butter knives in the cafeteria, which were quite honestly less useful than a fork. He stealthily slid it down through the collar of his shirt while the security staff was preoccupied with another patient who had refused to eat and had begun harassing another patient. He made certain to be extra well-behaved on his way back to his cell, and didn't even fight as they fitted him back into his straitjacket. This worked well as because of his willingness to cooperate.
Starting point is 00:08:54 They didn't feel the need to search him as thoroughly as usual. He then patiently sat in silence as he waited for the lights to go out for the night. Once he was in total darkness, free from the prying eye of the security cams, he waited for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Once he could see a foot or two in front of him, he got straight to work. He knew that the padding was about three inches thick, and if he were to carefully carve a portion out, he would leave a handy little compartment for storing a tool for his escape.
Starting point is 00:09:29 He had never before been so thankful for his skillful career as a surgeon, then when he slowly retrieved the fork from his shirt with his teeth and began the agonizingly slow process of carving out a neat and minimally noticeable line in the padding. He worked through the entire night, and by morning, he'd only completed the first of four sides. He was just able to stash the fork within the slit of fabric before the nurse came to retrieve him for breakfast. He was agonizingly tired,
Starting point is 00:10:01 but the thought of his imminent escape sustained him. Over the following week he had completed the carving, the following feeding period he was able to discard the now horribly mangled fork without being noticed. Tonight would be one of rest, but soon he would be enacting the second step of his plan. Every day, at precisely 2 p.m. in the afternoon, he would have a check-up with his regular doctor, who would check his vitals, and administer his daily dosage of sedatives.
Starting point is 00:10:34 He made his best effort to be pleasant and obedient around this doctor. He had done such a good job of this, but eventually the doctor began calling him his star patient and began decreasing his dosages. He even became comfortable enough to leave him alone in the exam room while fetching things or checking on other patients. This was an irreparable mistake. Over the course of the following weeks,
Starting point is 00:11:04 during the periods of full cognitive function before the doses of drugs, he would make careful mental notes of the layout of the exam room. One day, to his extreme delight, In the corner of his eye he spotted the contents of the drawer that the doctor was grabbing a syringe from. Next to the sterile needles were a plethora of sharp, clean scalpels. Now that would do the trick. The next day, as he sat waiting for the doctor to administer his daily dosage of mind-numbing drugs, there was a shriek in the hallway.
Starting point is 00:11:41 One of the nurses burst into the door, covered in blood, and began screaming for the doctor to assist her. Apparently, the patient next door had managed to break free from his restraints and had plunged several sharp surgical instruments into his eyes. This was the perfect opportunity. The doctor turned to him and said, There's been an emergency. I'll be back in a moment. I don't think it's necessary for me to tell you this, as you're always such an exemplary patient. Would you please be a good boy in wait here for me?
Starting point is 00:12:15 He plastered on the most innocent smile he could muster up. And in a sugary, sweet voice, responded, Why, of course, doctor? And as soon as the doctor closed the door behind him, he promptly got up from the exam table he had been seated on and made his way over to the drawer of scalpels. Thanks to his weeks of excellent behavior, he was now only wearing a pair of handcuffs.
Starting point is 00:12:42 That allowed plenty enough flexibility for him to quickly start. slide the drawer open, grab a fresh scalpel, and once again slide it down his collar. He then drifted quietly back to the table and took a seat as if nothing had happened. A few minutes later the doctor returned, also covered in blood. The bastard must have given him hell! He silently chuckled to himself. Once again, he resumed playing the good boy. It did exactly as he was told, all the way back to his.
Starting point is 00:13:16 little cell. He then waited in silence until, once again, the lights went out. He then removed the carved portion of the wall with his teeth, and in the same manner with which he removed the fork, he grabbed the scalpel from the inside of his collar, very glad it still had its little cap on, and tucked it away into the cushy little chamber before tucking the carved portion back in place once more. It would only be a matter of days now. Before he made his move, he jumped at the sound of the holding cell door beginning to creak open. Whatever fussed the patient next door had been making hadn't lasted long enough. He wasn't ready.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Damn, whoever caused this stir and gave him a false sense of security. But he had no choice but to go on with the plan. Tonight was the night. It had to happen tonight, or it wouldn't happen at all. The normal night nurse, Gertrude, was an ox of a woman. Even if you weren't still slightly sedated or in any restraints at all, he knew better than to try his luck against her. She would make quick work of him, snapping him in two like a twig. However, tonight was different.
Starting point is 00:14:38 For the past month, every third Friday, a sweet young woman named Emily Woodshadow Gertrude, training to become a full-fledged night nurse herself. It just so happened that tonight was her first night on the job. job all by herself. She was the only one on patrol on both floors three and four. That is, unless you count Ernie, the security guard, if you could even call him that. He was a heavy man to say the least, and had grown a little too accustomed to letting Gertrude take care of all the muscle work.
Starting point is 00:15:15 He wouldn't be a challenge in the slightest. How fortunate for him that his good behavior had gotten him moved to a low-risk ward. Poor sweet Emily was a lovely young thing, slender, elegant frame, soft skin that looked to Zoa could be made of porcelain. Not to mention her lovely Auburn curls, had fate not been so cruel and circumstances been different. He figured he very much may have fancied her. But fate hadn't been kind, and these were the circumstances.
Starting point is 00:15:56 And though they would never be together, she would be his savior. Her delicate frame and lack of experience would pave the way to his escape. For that, he would make sure she wouldn't suffer. As quick as he could, he dove with a crevice in the wall. He clenched onto the scalpel with his teeth and once again slid it down the front of his collar. He hurriedly shoved the square of padding back into place and with barely enough time he rolled over onto his stomach and they still. but the sedatives were still active and began moaning pathetically. Not a second later, and Emily had made her way into the cell.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Sympathetically, she reached down and put a comforting hand on his back. What's the matter, dear? She said in a sweet voice. He nearly reconsidered the whole plot right then and there, but her innocence would not be enough to save her. My, my arms. I can't feel them. He wailed.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Oh dear. What medications are you on? Let me get my chart. No! He gasped. No, please. I beg you, just look at them. They burn like fire and I can't move them.
Starting point is 00:17:15 She frowned for a moment, but he just laid face down on the floor, howling in agony. Her heart ached for him, and after a moment's hesitation, she began to undo the straps. he lay there whimpering, not moving a muscle. She knew better than this, but this was Dr. Harrison's star patient.
Starting point is 00:17:38 If she could afford to bend the rules for anyone, it was this man, whom during her entire time working at the sanitarium was so well behaved. He never gave anyone trouble. So gentle that he wouldn't dream to hurt even a fly. and who knows. Perhaps the treatment really was working, and this man was nearly cured. It would just be inhumane to stand there and watch him writhe and agony. His breathing slowed as the last of the buckles were undone.
Starting point is 00:18:14 He gave a slight shiver as Emily heaved with all her might to sit him upright once more. Where she could begin to examine his arms. She went slowly up and down, pressing into different. points, asking whether it hurt more or less. He sat quietly and well-behaved until she released his arms. She scratched her head in confusion as she tried to figure out the cause of his mysterious ailment. Finally, she gave a sigh and said, I'm just not sure what could be causing this. I'll have to go get that chart. Perhaps it's a reaction to a new vacation. Just as she turned her head to the door, he slipped his head. He slipped his
Starting point is 00:18:58 hand down the collar of the street jacket. His arms were still in the pointy little sleeves, but he was able to get a firm grip upon the handle. He popped the lid off with his teeth, and then, faster than the poor girl could glance back at him, he had pounced. He held her crushingly tight with his left arm and pulled her close. She struggled with all her might, but still his grip did not break. Her screams echoed in vain as the closest help. was two floors away. He tried to hush her, whispering gently in her ear. Hush no, love.
Starting point is 00:19:39 You won't feel a thing. And with one swift motion, he brought the scalpel slicing deeply from one ear to the neck, severing her carotid artery, turning her panicked screams and gurgling whimpers until they faded away completely. He held her limp body in his arms for a moment. He thought to himself. somberly. He held her until his street jacket was entirely saturated in her warm, sticky blood. He then sat her down ever so gently before removing his restraint. After freeing his arms,
Starting point is 00:20:20 he gingerly plucked the key card from the front pocket of her scrubs. This would be most useful. He looked down at his own blood-soaked flesh and reflected for a moment. He would need to find some new clothing on his way out. Perhaps he would find some in the storage unit in the basement where his personal effects were being held. Giving Emily's corpse a final glance. He exited the cell, closing and locking the door so not to alarm Ernie. Should he make it down to this floor?
Starting point is 00:20:55 With great haste, he sprinted down the hallway, careful not to make too much noise. When he reached the enormous door at the end of the corridor, he pulled out the key card and swiped it through the reader. He waited for a moment. Then there was an audible click. He gently pushed and the door popped freely open. Now he would have to be more on his guard. In this portion of the hospital, there were far more nurses on duty. He sprinted down the hallway until he saw what he was looking for. An elevator. Praising his good luck, he pressed the button, excitedly waiting for the elevator to whisk him to freedom. However, he celebrated. He celebrated. too soon.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Just then he heard talking. Two voices, right around the corner. He threw himself away from the elevator and wedged himself between a nearby vending machine and the wall. The two nurses did not see him and kept talking as they came to a stop in front of the elevator. However, they went silent as one of them reached for the button, seeing it was already lit. They glanced up and down the hallway, but before they could say anything, the elevator elevator let out a ding as it arrived on their floor.
Starting point is 00:22:09 They simply shrugged and said, We have got to get the maintenance guy to look at this whole thing. I'm surprised it's still operating. As they boarded, he let out a sigh of relief as the elevator door came to a close. Though now he had to find a different way down. He pried himself out of his hiding place and peered around the corner. Fortunately, the stairs were straight ahead. He made a dash for the door before any more nurses had a chance to make their way through the busy hallway.
Starting point is 00:22:41 He soon tucked out of sight into the drafty stairway. It was dim and the lights flickered ominously. He thought for a moment that it built quite the frightening atmosphere, but then chuckled because, he supposed, he was the monster lurking in this dark place. His footsteps echoed lightly as he made his way down. two, one, and then basement, just what he needed. He pulled out his key card once more and swiped it to gain entrance to the door.
Starting point is 00:23:16 It clacked open a little more stubbornly than the last one. He cautiously pushed through, just enough to peek in. There wasn't a soul to be seen, so he merely made his way down the corridor. He glanced at a laminated map of the floor plan that someone had stapled to the wall. The storage room in which the personal effects of patients 300 to 399 were kept was just a little further ahead. With a quick in pace, he soon found the room. Once more he pulled out his trusty key card.
Starting point is 00:23:51 He swiped it, waiting eagerly for the door to bop open. But something was wrong. There was no click, and the door stood just as stubbornly firm as before. He began to panic. He hadn't accounted for this. He would have to find another key, kill another nurse, and spend even more of his precious dwindling time. In a wave of frustration, he violently swiped the card once more.
Starting point is 00:24:19 To his immense relief, this time, he was met with a welcome click of the lock. He quickly pushed the door open and slipped inside. It was a fairly large room, filled with locker after locker from floor to ceiling. He looked around, trying to find a map of the room so as to pinpoint the location of his locker. Then he noticed a desk at the opposite wall. It was cluttered with some old files and what looked to be a broken old computer.
Starting point is 00:24:49 But there was something else. A thick old journal. Despite the fleeting time, his curiosity overcame him and he moved in to pick it up. He thumbed to the middle and found it to be notes about another page. bought another patient. Number 355. He knew that guy. He was there when he was first brought in.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Intrigued. He flipped through the pages until he came across patient 399. He leaned in a bit closer in an attempt to read the chicken scratch the author had left there. Terrible handwriting seemed to be a common trait among all doctors. He froze upon what he read. It couldn't be true. There was no way. He tossed the journal to the side and began digging through the old folders until he found his own.
Starting point is 00:25:44 As he opened it, photographs came spilling out onto the desk in front of him. His eyes widened at the horrors that lay before him. So many bodies, neatly lined upon gurneys, yet so thoughtlessly mutilated. Torsos ripped open with rotten entrails, leaking out, bloated and sour with decay. All missing body parts. Some had clearly had their eyes torn out, with nothing but hollow decaying sockets in their place.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Others were missing important internal organs. It was a baffling sight. All the missing organs had clearly been removed with delicate care, yet the rest of their bodies were violently mutilated, as if in a fit of immense rage. There was photo after photo of these horrors. Disgust. He threw them to the floor and then snatched what appeared to be a copy of an old police report. He then began reading it with shaking hands.
Starting point is 00:26:51 As he read, his mind was flooded with memories. The report read, On the morning of Saturday the 3rd of February, the suspect Dr. Evander Locklear was apprehended from within a patient's home. The night before, detectives discovered the horrors that lied in a secret workshop to lie directly below his clinic. It is believed that he is responsible for the grotesque experiments, mutilations, and murders of an estimated 30 to 40 individuals. We believe that the doctor was abducting individuals and was keeping them hostage in his underground chamber, where he later performed his gruesome operations.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It appears that he was holding them with the intent to harvest their vital oracle, Over the course of two years, he treated approximately 20 patients in which he transplanted the stolen organs into. One said Ciasis de Minor Anna, last name withheld, whom received a lung transplant. Upon further testing, it was determined that the lung she received a previously belonged to Paul Kenneth, a recently released sex offender. Kenneth went missing from his home January 15th, three days after he was acquitted of the charges is held against him.
Starting point is 00:28:05 His body was discovered in the underground chamber Saturday the 3rd. His lungs had been removed from his body. Autopsy results showed that they had been removed while he was still alive. He stopped reading and set the report down as he began to remember. That's right, he stuttered to himself. He had been the savior of the good and innocent. Those who were refused treatment and sentenced to death merely because they were too poor to afford proper treatment.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Because of him, they could live. The trade-off was minor. In fact, it was good work within itself. All those filthy criminals who have done nothing but harm and defile others, those bastards who get away Scott free simply because of a hiccup in the court system,
Starting point is 00:29:06 why should they get to live? While sweet little Anna Liu should die, slowly drowning to death in her own bodily fluids. It was just wrong. I became the writer of wrongs. I saved the lives of countless good people, and I gave those filthy criminals the first opportunity to do something good in their entire lives.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Perhaps by sacrificing their own lives to save the innocence, God will have mercy on their souls. But my work is not done. Far from it. The city's given more and more evil each day, filling with corrupt and wicked people while the good die young. I'll need to work in double speed now. And this time, I won't be stopped. From there, he slowly wound his way back through the lockers.
Starting point is 00:30:06 He stopped in front of locker 399 and popped it open. From within, he found the clothes that he had been arrested in. A long, dark, burgundy-hooded clothes. and a blood-covered plague doctor's mask. He quickly slipped them on, and without so much as a glance, he left the storage room and went out through the emergency exit. This sent the alarm into wailing, but was of little concern to him. He slipped out into the cold crisp air and vanished into the night to do.
