Cracked

Cracked - 02x01 - Swans

Get in there.

I don't want to hurt anybody!

I just want the drugs! I know you have 'em!

Medications on this ward are pre-dispensed.

They're mixed together. They'll make you sick.

Who's in charge?

I'm the attending psychiatrist.

Give me the drugs.

- I need your key. - Yeah, keys!

Everybody give me your keys and your phones! All of you!

You see? They're all mixed together.

- You don't want to take these. - Fill it!

Nobody calls! Nobody sets off an alarm or nothing! Everybody just sit still awhile, OK?

This one. I'm taking this one with me.

Come on. Nobody says anything, I'll let her go.

One hour, all right? Here, hold it.

No, you can't do that. Don't.

Please, don't take her, take me.

Nobody does anything stupid and she won't get hurt, all right?

We've got a kidnapping. A patient from St. Stephen's was

taken hostage during a drug holdup, a 20-year-old girl.

We've got all units looking. Psych Crimes is in charge.

- We know if she's OK? - All we know is a lone gunman

walked her out of a locked ward and they vanished.

Daniella know anyone involved?

I don't know. Daniella's taking a leave of absence.

- She didn't tell me. - No, she didn't.

It's bad timing. We could use her.

She going to see her son?

Yeah, the adoptive parents have agreed to let them meet.

Good.

I've got you someone else to consult on it.

The doctor who was in the robbery.

- He a witness, or a consultant? - She. You have to treat her

as a witness first. But beyond that, if you can use her, do it.

- She knows the hostage. - Hey.

- Hey. - You're back.

- Yeah, why wouldn't I be? - You killed a guy.

He was a bad guy. I am not losing any sleep over that.

Different people react differently.

Aidan.

Detective Sergeant Aidan Black,

- Doctor Clara Malone. - How's your head?

It's nothing. The patient freaked out. It was an accident.

I'll need you to show me the scene.

- Are you OK to do that now? - Can I deal with the trauma of

going back to a building where I treat confined murderers

every day because some young man stole drugs?

Yes. I think I can cope.

You're going to have fun with this one.

All right, let's go.

He came in here. He was holding a gun to Randall's head.

Randall's an attendant.

He said he wanted the drugs. I tried to talk him out of it.

Why?

We only have sorted prescriptions on this ward.

The meds are prepackaged. Mostly antipsychotics.

There's no way for him to know what's what.

So, you explained that to the guy?

Well, not for long. He had a gun. I gave him the drugs.

OK.

So, how did the hostage come in?

He said he didn't trust us.

If we all waited in here and didn't raise an alarm, he would let her go.

Do you feel like that was that part of his plan?

It kind of came out of nowhere, like he decided on the spot.

- Where was the hostage? - Emily.

She was over there on this chair.

How many people were in the room?

There are 16 patients in this ward, plus staff.

And there wasn't anyone closer?

No, people were closer.

So why'd he pick her?

Good question.

Did she do anything to draw his attention--

- No, no. Emily is quite sedated.

What's that mean?

I think her sedation level is heavy-handed.

- Why is she here? - Emily is here on a civil order.

She was diagnosed as bipolar disorder.

She has some events on her record that flag her as a risk, but nothing recent.

But you keep her docile?

I'm not her doctor. That's not my decision.

These events violent?

Some of them. When she was first admitted.

How well do you know her?

I see Emily in group. I do rotation on this ward.

But I'm not privy to the details of her treatment.

Something feels wrong here. I mean, you want to steal drugs,

there's easier ways to do it.

I'd like to see her medical records.

Emily's files are confidential.

- You understand that? - I got it.

I'll review them for you because her safety is at risk.

But if you want to use anything as evidence--

- I'll have to get a warrant. I know how it works. Thank you.

What's up, Poppy?

I found the drugs. Dumped in the garbage. No weapon. No mask.

- Anyone see a vehicle? - Hatchback, grey or beige.

Not new. Couple of witnesses saw it. No one got the plate.

- They see the girl? - Leo. Aidan.

Yeah?

Any reports on the victim? Was she in distress?

Oh, well, one witness said that she looked drunk.

Another one said that he thought that she was terrified,

but she got in the car. There was no struggle.

All right, thanks.

Have they found anything?

They left the scene in a car, dumped the drugs on the way out.

- Why? - It wasn't about the drugs.

I mean, who steals antipsychotics, right?

So, the process of elimination says...

He came for the girl.

Emily Froez, 20 years old. Admitted on a civil order 4 years ago.

Made a ward of the court. That's unusual.

- What happened to her parents? - Mother died.

Father remarried and cut off all contact.

- How'd she come into the system? - She had a major breakdown

in juvenile detention. Pretty extreme. And diagnosed

- with bipolar disorder. - And she was in juvenile detention because...?

You're the cop.

Bring the file.

OK, this is a sad story.

Emily Froez enters the system as a 14-year-old

runaway - 7 pickups in 4 months.

Then she gets busy. Charges of theft,

- assault, property damage. - Who did she assault?

Her stepmother.

All the charges were about trouble at home. Anyway, she ended up in juvie.

This is interesting: when she was 15, she broke out,

- went on the run with a boyfriend. - Bingo. Who's the boyfriend?

Nolan Arthur, 19 at the time.

They committed 3 holdups and torched a car before they got caught.

- Emily wasn't charged. - She ended up

in the mental health system. Nolan wasn't so lucky.

Prosecutors tacked on sexual assault for good measure.

She was 15 at the time. Nolan got 5 years.

- And she had a major breakdown. - Makes sense. Where is he now?

Uh... out on parole.

No, check that. He's wanted. He's in violation.

- Put an alert on him. - You think this could be

- the man in the mask? - First place to look.

Emily gave you that, right?

Even though she was - how did you put it - over-sedated?

- Now you think that she's in on it? - Can you rule it out?

Does it say where they hid out the first time?

Casa Loma.

You coming?

Yeah, I'm thinking she was in on it.

OK, just for the sake of argument, let's say that she was.

Say they planned it together.

They're Bonnie and Clyde redux, young love on the run.

- It tracks. - It still doesn't change

anything. She has bipolar disorder, on medication.

Even if she's going along with it, she's not capable.

Nolan is the criminal here; Emily Froez is the patient.

- Could she turn violent? - You really don't want to see this girl as a victim, do you?

She's got a history of fairly violent behaviour.

His is even worse. Put 'em together, take away

her medication, give him a gun, what do you get?

OK. It's a bad situation.

This is the place.

It looks like a castle.

These are the stables. The castle's over there.

So, who were these people 5 years ago?

Teenagers, living out a fantasy of being independent.

And they pick a castle to hang out in.

Not exactly inconspicuous. Does that tell you anything?

I don't know. Maybe they thought it was cool.

Maybe they're looking for the same thing this time.

Why, are there any other castles in the city

- I don't know about? - No.

Maybe this time they're looking for something a little more--

- Medieval? - I don't know. Impressive?

There's got to be some kind of connection.

They just didn't pick a castle at random, right?

So, you really have

- no idea, do you? - I'll get one.

Thank you.

- This is awesome! - Yeah.

It's really all shut down?

Closed last winter. There's nobody here but us.

- Swan! - I know.

Oh, hello, Miss Swan.

Snap.

- We're in here. - In there?

- Yeah. - OK.

- Come on. - I'm coming.

Ooh!

Ho-ho-ho! Oh, my goodness.

Oh.

Ooh.

Ohh.
