This episode shows a memory of a father attempting to drown their son. The son is not on screen during the process except for an initial split second of seeing a glimpse of his hair above the waterline to establish that he is in the tub. The father is unsuccessful but the scene is drawn out for intensity and may be difficult to watch.

A sex worker is assaulted and a man attempts to rape her. The hotel owner comes in and threatens the assaulter with a gun and the attempted rape is unsuccessful. The scene then shows her breaking down and being comforted by the hotel owner. It’s pretty intense and potentially upsetting.

At the end of the episode the father is chained up and beaten (further spoilers if you need them ahead).
He is chained to a post with a bike lock around his neck and his arms are tied with heavy chains. He is beaten with a hammer and there is blood and swollen body parts. The child is murdered off screen.

The mother descends into madness and at the end of the episode ties up her husband and beats him with a hammer. She also boils water in a tea kettle and leaves the room to find their child and used it in some way on an infant. Because the main character is the father and he loses consciousness we don’t see the murder of the infant or hear more than baby cries thank god but it’s tense and upsetting.

At the end of the episode the mother is in a state of what seems to be possession and ties up the father and murders their infant son. The murder is not on screen but you do hear a baby crying. The way the child is murdered is not revealed, it is done in a separate room off screen but seems to involve hot water.

First in a flashback the parents of the wife die, the mom wants to kill herself and her family and she sets the house on fire. The father manages to save the children but goes back to save the mother and dies himself (seemingly at least).
In the main story the wife descends into madness. She ties up her husband and then kills their infant son Brian in another room (off screen). The husband is briefly tortured on screen.

About forty minutes into the first episode the main character and his wife are stuck on a subway in New York while she is in labor. She gives birth on the train and both she and the infant survive. There is light gore/blood on both characters as well as the baby. I had to fast forward this scene as it was several minutes of tension. It did not seem like they showed a lot of the bloody parts of childbirth but they definitely spend several minutes of active labor on screen.

There is a baby throughout the episode that increasingly suffers more and more abuse from the mother until eventually she kills him.
