Just show your ID to the sergeant and duck under.

Black, Malone, Psych Crimes.

I've seen it a thousand times on TV.

You'd think I know.

Welcome, Dr. Malone.

First official call as the unit's new psychiatrist.

- Kiss your Saturday nights goodbye. - Here you go.

Right in the deep end. Excuse me.

Person or persons unknown

open fire right on the dance floor.

Looks like he was shooting at the band.

Hospital confirmed: 2 dead, 5 wounded,

a couple in critical. Building's secure,

no sign of the shooters.

Psych Crimes is here because...?

Clara, I need you and Leo to deal with a witness,

Anika Marnay. She's very distraught,

her niece was wounded. Detectives,

- they can't get through to her. - Shock?

She claims to have some sort of anxiety disorder.

- Please, let me see my niece. - See if you can get her

- calm enough to at least talk. - Yeah.

- What's so special about this witness? - Come with me.

This is the only security video that gives us anything.

That's Anika Marnay,

that's the shooter.

And this is the blow up.

She's looking right into his face.

Mm-hmm. It's all we've got.

He never turned to the camera, he disappeared in the chaos.

We've got no other witnesses so far. She's it.

Obviously Homicide will take point on the case,

but that woman belongs to Psych Crimes.

I'll be right back.

This is a bit complicated. Anika Marnay does have

anxiety issues. Fairly severe.

She's on a high dose of antidepressants.

Barely holding it together.

- Why do I recognize her? - She used to be a model.

Fairly famous.

Did she give you a description of the shooter?

- She can't remember. - She can't remember?

Well this is not exactly the right environment

to get her settled down.

Excuse me, Ms. Marnay?

I'm Detective Black. I'm going to need you

- to come with us. - Are we going to the hospital?

- Yeah, all in good time. - No, I need to be with Courtney.

We just need to ask you a few questions first.

It's not going to take long. We'll give you a report

on your niece's condition.

How is Courtney?

Her vital signs are stable. She's in surgery now.

There was just so much blood.

I didn't know what to do.

Courtney lives with you?

Yes. For the past...

five months. She and my sister...

her mother, they don't talk.

Look, I really need to go see her.

Anika, you were standing right beside the man

who fired the shots. You looked right into his face.

No.

No, I don't remember that.

Does this help?

That's you. That's the shooter.

That's the gun.

You're looking right at him.

I don't...

No. I don't remember.

You don't remember the shots being fired, or...?

I... I remember Courtney...

singing, the band playing,

the strobes...

people were pushing me...

...and then the next thing I remember,

I was holding her trying to stop the bleeding.

So you don't remember any of this?

No, I don't. It's just a blank.

Have you ever had a time before when you couldn't

remember something that happened to you?

Yes, in my twenties.

I had a substance abuse problem.

There were... blackouts.

Is that when you were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder?

Yes. And agoraphobia.

You're an agoraphobic and you went to a nightclub?

For Courtney.

Trust me, I nearly had the driver turn around and take me home.

Can you think of anyone who would want

to do harm to your niece?

A band member, an ex-boyfriend maybe?

No, nothing like that.

She was doing really well. She was happy.

They were going on tour...

Why can't I remember?

Can you help me?

Can you maybe give me something?

First thing you need to do is get some sleep.

It could be as simple as that.

No, I can't. I can't sleep. I want to go to the hospital

- and see her. - I know.

Courtney's in surgery now. We are going to get somebody

- to take you home. - Yes, as soon as we're done here.

And we'll give you some reports from the hospital, OK?

OK.

We'll be right back.

Is she telling us the truth here?

- You don't believe her? - She only forgets the moment

she saw the guy? It's convenient for him.

No, Aidan, she forgets the minutes where she saw

her niece get shot.

I can't give you a diagnosis off one meeting, but everything

she's saying makes sense. This is a traumatized woman

with short term memory loss. At best.

Alright, so how do we fix it?

Depends. She could be in shock

and it'll come back to her. Or it's possible

that she was so inwardly focused that she simply

didn't encode the moment in the first place.

What, like she forgot to hit 'save'?

Not exactly the terminology we'd use, but yes.

It's possible there is no memory there to recover.

Be easier if she was lying to us.

No, it wouldn't.

Aidan, this is a woman who's barely making it through the day

as it is. You really think she's going to lie to protect

a man who shot her niece?

Is that really how cops think?

Yeah.

- Let it all out. - Yeah, exactly.

- Brauer. - Black.

Homicide wants to see what we've got on Anika Marnay so far.

I'm more interested in the band. Have we established

- they were the target? - Looks like. Three dancers

were wounded, but indications are it was collateral,

two from ricochets, one in the line of fire.

- How many shooters? - Forensics is thinking just the one.

- Is that her? - Modelling at 17,

major covers at 19.

Fast lane for another 8-9 years,

A-list stuff. Then she just drops off the radar.

- Why? - My guess is cocaine. She was charged four times.

Convicted once. She never had to serve any time.

- Recent? - No. Ten years ago.

Cocaine could have contributed to her anxiety disorder.

Could also have laid the groundwork for a reluctance to deal with the police.

- You get a description from her yet? - We're working on it.

- How hard can that be? - The witness is suffering from some kind of trauma-induced

memory loss. Clara Malone.

- Unit Psychiatrist. - Brauer. Homicide. So, do you think

- she's going to remember? - Too soon to say.

Well it would be nice to know. Because all I've got now

is a hundred people who all claim they were in the washroom.

Uh? Seven people get shot and nobody talks. It's unbelievable.

This thing was pretty well executed.
