00:00Now at the risk of sounding self-congratulatory, I've heard people talk about leaving Washington
00:06D.C., escaping the city, getting away from the crowds and that terrible traffic and the
00:13nasty people and the car horns and the frantic pace, but in the 20 years I've lived in D.C.,
00:20I can't really think of anyone who actually has escaped, but that's just what I'm doing
00:25now.
00:26Woo!
00:27Woo!
00:28I did it!
00:29I did it!
00:30I did it!
00:31I've looked on Google Maps and there is supposedly nothing within miles of my house, so who else
00:43is out here?
00:44Man, there is some creepy stuff out there in the woods at night.
00:48Is that an animal or a person?
00:51She's here.
00:52Claire is here.
00:55Finally, the first ever visitor to my remote West Virginia mansion has arrived.
01:07I'm going to get a flashlight.
01:09Listen.
01:10I'm going to get in here.
01:11I can't stay here.
01:12Claire, you can't leave now.
01:13It's the middle of the night.
01:14I can't stay here.
01:15Mark, turn that thing off.
01:16I feel like I'm on an even keel.
01:17I've got 375 milligrams of venlafaxine in me, and as you've all heard on those tapes,
01:23what I've been hearing are not auditory hallucinations, so I feel like this is an essential piece
01:28of equipment at this point.
01:30Yeah!
01:31Stay away from my house, you freaks.
01:33Who's out there?
01:34I called you last week, and I said I'd been hearing strange noises outside my window,
01:41like people.
01:42Like people were outside my house.
01:44I don't know what to do.
01:46I don't know what to do.
01:49Oh, man.
01:54See?
01:55I'm going to be just fine.
