As he and his psychotic captor play out the scenes, secrets are revealed, each one more twisted, demented and deranged than the last. *Advisory: TEDx Talks: The Murder Room contains adult themes and content including profanity, sexual situations and dialogue, an extended scene of violence and some gore.
