Devon

In 1902,

the asylum opened promising a new beginning

for the mentally retarded and mentally ill.

Within days,

the conditions became volatile with overcrowding.

Bodies began to rot in their own fecal matter.

Patients were restrained to their beds

in an effort to maintain control.

As conditions worsened, staff reported

that some patients turned to cannibalism.

In this expose, we explore the conditions

these children are forced to live in,

due to the stigma attached to their condition.

Most importantly, we investigate

the most concerning issue to come out of this facility

in an attempt to answer the question.

Where are the missing children?

Come on!

They fucking tortured kids here, bro.

They're tearing it down, bro. Relax.

William, Jared, Carly, Kat. Help us?

Oh, what's this teddy bear?

Aren't these the people names on the wall?

- I think so. - Why the F--

There's cameras.

Oh, shit, yours is on.

Bro, that's fucked.

Bro, we need to go.

Get out!

Get going! Get out of here!

Get out!

Please state your name for the record.

- Allison. - Allison Roberts.

Ali, why are you here?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

How long have you been down there?

I don't know.

Let's start from the beginning.

How did you all end up there in the first place?

All right, y'all, it is the day. Yes, ma'am. Miss Pam.

So this is the website that like I sent my stuff into

and we get a $100,000 cash prize.

But the gag is, we gotta split it like five ways.

So I only get 20,000, but it's whatever.

She was born in '86,

so that was like approximately like 20,000 years ago.

And...

why all of a sudden are the parents interested

in my girl Devon?

- What are you doing? - Huh?

It's almost noon. Why are you still sitting here?

Oh... No. I was just about to leave.

You are not ready for this.

- Yes, I am. - No, no, you're not.

So, have you spoken

to your dad since he cut you off?

No. And I'm not going to.

I mean, obviously he doesn't care about me

since he totally cut me off.

- Is that working okay? - I think so.

Yeah? How do I look?

Great. Like always.

You're so sweet.

This at least works.

-What's that? -It's... it's just--

I thought you weren't taking this job.

Well, you know, honey,

we need the money right now, okay?

It's fine. It's just a couple of days.

Really? It's fine.

Why you-- you never leave for a couple days.

- Why are you leaving now? - I know, honey.

I'm not crazy about the idea either, but it's...

Wait, why did you pick this? Why... why this one?

Honey, we-- Like I said, we really need the money.

Seriously. This is gonna be so easy. I can do this.

This is easy money for us.

Again, I'm not worried about that money.

I'm worried about you.

I'll be back before you even know it.

Yes, or no?

I'm gonna say like, Devon... what's tea?

I'm taking this with me.

You like grandma.

She sleeps in until like 3:00.

Well, Miss, I have been sleeping

until 11 o'clock on weekends. You've been sleeping in too.

I like, literally don't wanna break it, but oh, well.

Yes?

No, you look like a disco ball.

Okay, well, I love to sparkle, so I...

- Yeah, no, put it down. - Okay.

And this?

That's actually pretty cute.

- You should take that. - Okay.

Devon better have my money. That's what I'm talking about.

I love you. Take care of yourself.

I love you too. I'll see you really soon.

-Please be safe. -I will. I'll be fine.

-The paper. -Right, right, right.

The... the camera?

-Yes. -Don't forget the camera.

All right. Okay.

I still-- I don't think you should go.

I just-- I-- It's not safe.

It's gonna be okay. Hey, I promise, okay.

Like I said, it's going to be fine.

I'm gonna be back before you know it.

You work on your choreography, you know.

I know you have so much potential

and I want to send you to your dance classes, okay?

- Okay. - Camera.

All right. Goodness.

Not me being in the middle of nowhere.

How am I gonna call someone? I ain't got no service out here.

Bye, sweetie.

I'll be... I'll be back before you know it.

I'm literally scared. No, I'm not. Child please.

All right, Devon, we here.

What is this?

I feel like that's a squirrel, but I also feel like

it could be like Devon's little, little buddies.

How does this camera work-- Even work?

Do I? Oh, I can zoom.

Oh, I can zoom. Okay.

Lemme go ahead.

Why am I the first one here is the question. Y'all fake.

Okay. I just need to get myself together really quick.

So we have the email.

Um, this I guess is...

the map to this place.

Is that-- God, this place looks like a jail.

How could somebody send their kid here?

This is awful.

Oh Jesus.

- Oh, sorry. - Hi, Sorry.

- You scared me. Hi. - You scared me too.

- I'm Kat. - Sorry. Jared,

-nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Ew. Not this girl playing in the weeds. Hey.

Hey, bitch. I just wanna know

if you're here for Devon's parents.

I mean, I didn't really see like a regular entrance,

so I've just kind of been

-running around. Um... -Yeah.

Sketching myself out a little bit.

I know, I'm trying to like, keep calm. Um...

-So do you think I'm gonna-- -So I-- So what are you...

What are you doing here? Like how are yo-- How did you...

- Uh... - ...get involved in all this?

...just looking around for jobs, I guess.

I came across this thing and... and it,

you know, it seemed really, really good for...

-Yeah -...what they pay.

- What about you? - Um...

I mean, the money ob... obviously helps. Um, I'm a mom.

- Oh, okay. Right. - They don't tell you

how expensive kids are until you have them.

Yeah. I... I live with my mom.

-Do you? -I've put her through the ringer

-a few times. -Are you... are you guys close?

Yeah. It's a tough, uh, story, but you know.

- Okay. - Yeah. We're... we're close now.

-We're doing pretty good. -Good, good, good.

Wait, why am I chasing literally a stranger?

Um. Yeah, I think if we just kind of...

-stay together. -Yeah, definitely.

That's probably the best bet, 'cause I feel like

if we separate at any point,

like we're not gonna be able to find each other again.

Yeah. You can be my mom today.

Yeah! I would love to be your mom today.

- What's your name again? - Kat.

- Jared. - Jared.

Nice to meet you, new son.

Oh, Jesus.

See, I didn't sign up for all this.

Jesus, you can't be running up on folk.

What's wrong with you, are you here

-for the thing? -To find Devon? Yeah, of course.

Ugh. Okay.

Well, I don't know. I just saw some--

This bitch in this like all white look,

but she was like doing the most.

Would you mind-- can you hold this for a sec...

- Yeah, no problem. - ...'cause I feel like...

honestly, I didn't even get a chance

to look at this map yet.

I don't even know this girl's last name.

- It's crazy out here - Like I meant to.

Did you get a map?

Yeah, it's in my bag.

I... I looked at it, but honestly, this place

is so huge. I couldn't even tell where to start.

I feel like the directions were--

Okay, here we go. The directions were very vague.

Why did you have video cameras?

Whoever ran the online site

they sent them to us. We...

They just came in the mail.
