Silent patient.
Part 2
In part 1 I wrote about how Alicia Berenson was sent to a psych ward after killing her husband and after the murder she stopped speaking. Now she has Theo has her therapist trying to help her speak. Turns out Theo’s wife was cheating on him when he finds flirty emails on her laptop. Theo decided not to leave his wife but instead he chose to ignore everything that he saw in her laptop and move forward as if nothing happened.
Theo is still investigating what happened on the days leading up to when Alicia killed her husband. He wanted to find out what happened and finds out Christian who’s another therapist working at the psych ward knew Alicia prior to the murder shocking! He confronted Christian but Theo chose not to tell anyone. As a way to help Alicia speak he brought in painting supplies for Alicia to paint in a way to express herself creatively but another patient at the psych ward vandalized one of Alicia’s painting, Alicia got mad and stabbed the other patient with a paint brush. Because of what happened the director of the psych ward decided to stop Alicia’s therapy sessions with Theo, claiming her behavior is likely due to the sessions being too much for her. Theo went to tell Alicia that he won’t be her therapist anymore after what happened, in response Alicia gave Theo her diary! Theo read her diary and kept investigating. He then kept seeing Alicia on the low, then out of nowhere Alicia started speaking! She told him what happened. Which was that a man has been stalking her and watching her house, then one day the man came in the house held her at gun point and tied her up. The man then waited for Theo to get home and the man killed Theo! Could it be that Alicia was innocent this whole time!?
Theo didn’t believe Alicia he kept saying no that’s not true but he didn’t Alicia anything he just looked at her and ended the session. Theo then went home but when he came back to the psych ward Alicia was in a comma because allegedly she took some pill and overdosed. But Theo investigated Alicia’s body and saw needle marks on her wrist suggesting someone injected her with morphine by trying to kill her!
Theo immediately went to the director and accused Christian of what happened. Then the cops came in and arrested Christian. The whole time Theo was looking for Alicia’s diary but he couldn’t find it. Then he went home, then a detective came to see him. Theo was surprised but then the detective pulled out Alicia’s journal and read her last entry which stated
“Theo just left. I am alone. I’m writing this as fast as I can. I haven’t got
much time. I’ve got to get this down while I still have the strength.
I thought I was crazy at first. It was easier to think I was crazy than believe
it was true. But I’m not crazy. I’m not.
That first time I met him in the therapy room, I wasn’t sure—there was
something familiar about him, but different—I recognized his eyes, not just
the color but the shape. And the same smell of cigarettes and smoky
aftershave. And the way he formed words, and the rhythm of his speech—
but not the tone of his voice, it seemed different somehow. So I wasn’t sure—
but the next time we met, he gave himself away. He said the same words—
the exact same phrase he’d used at the house, burned into my memory:
“I want to help you—I want to help you see clearly.”
As soon as I heard that, something in my brain clicked and the jigsaw came
together—the picture was complete.
It was him.
And something in me took over, some kind of wild animal instinct. I wanted
to kill him, kill or be killed—I leaped on him and tried to strangle him and
scratch his eyes out, bash his skull to pieces on the floor. But I didn’t
succeed in killing him, and they held me down and drugged me and locked
me up. And then—after that I lost my nerve. I started to doubt myself again…”
She wrote more but she said Theo was the man who was following her! And he’s the one who came in the house because Kathy was cheating with Alicia husband. He then ask Alicia’s husband to chose between his life or Alicia life to which he responded “I want to live” Alicia fell silent Theo shoot the ceiling and left leaving the gun next to Alicia. Alicia then took the gun and shoot her husband!
Basically Theo pushed her in some way to kill her husband because not only she found out her husband was cheating on her but she also finds out that he would rather choose his own life instead of saving Alicia !
As the detective read what Alicia wrote Theo smiled feeling relieved ?!
Then the end!
Omg my jaw was on the floor! I was so shocked I couldn’t believe my eyes because what do you mean Theo the therapist was the vilain all along?!
