Instinct

My name is Dylan Reinhart. Not too long ago,

I was an operative in the CIA known as Agent Reinhart.

When I left the Agency and started teaching,

I became Professor Reinhart.

I wrote a book about abnormal behavior

and criminals, which was so successful

a serial killer used it as clues for his murders.

That's when the New York Police Department

reached out to me to help catch him.

Which I did, so they hired me,

and I became Consultant Reinhart.

So now I'm working with this woman,

Detective Lizzie Needham

of the homicide division, catching killers.

Looks like I need a new name.

Don't they call you Professor Psychopath?

Officer, our murder suspect is Theodore Burton.

Last seen leaving the residence of his mortgage broker,

who he stabbed and killed. He's armed and dangerous.

Let's get this out to

all units working.

Hey, go to 47 Wall Street... Potter & Marley.

Theo has an appointment there in 15 minutes.

85 me two units to Potter & Marley Investments

for arrest assistance.

The suspect has one victim

and may be on his way to kill again.

Here. My dupe shield.

- Dupe shield? - Duplicate.

A place like this won't let you in without a badge,

and we don't have time to explain.

Theo?

- Theo? - No. No!

Wait. Hey, hey. Okay, everybody, please stay calm.

Stay seated. Let us handle this.

I'll go talk to him.

No, you won't. You're gonna wait

for the hostage negotiators to get here.

Okay. Dylan.

- Wait. - Theo.

- Dylan. - My name is Dylan. I'm not a cop.

I-I just want to talk to you.

I want to hear your side of the story.

You want to talk?

Yeah.

Talk to these con men.

Oh, they're your best buddy

when you're writing a check.

Yeah, all these great stocks they got.

And then they rob you blind!

You trusted them?

But it's their system.

They control it.

I manage a grocery store.

Well, you gotta be smart with your money.

Yeah.

I invested 12% a month every month for 15 years.

It's gone.

All of it.

This company stole my nest egg.

They took everything.

Just isn't fair.

I get it.

There's nothing I can do about it.

They make their money off your hard work.

The world just isn't set up to protect the little guy.

No,

tell those cops not to arrest me.

No, no. They should arrest these thieves.

They-they should arrest the whole entire company!

Theo, look at me. Keep your eyes on me. Theo!

I have a family.

I-I can't go to jail.

I won't!

I-I won't, I won't!

Ow! My leg! Aah! My leg!

Ow. My leg. Ow.

Oh, I can practically see the germs floating around us.

If you're not sick when you get here,

you will be when you leave.

Hospitals are the worst.

Except for the whole "healing people" thing.

There is that. When I get home, I'm going to bathe

- in hand sanitizer. - Excuse me, sir.

Police. She's with me.

I'm the police. I just said that.

- Don't ever do that again. - Or what... you'll arrest me?

When I ask you to wait for the hostage negotiators, you wait.

Theo was there because he felt he had no control.

The banks had lost his money, and he had no recourse.

He was pushed into crisis.

The-the tension in his voice, the...

the impulsive twitching of his body.

We couldn't wait for the negotiators.

He needed to feel listened to.

- Hey. - Hey.

He's on a morphine drip for pain,

and we just hung antibiotics.

How soon will I get out of here?

Not up to me.

Don't let them anywhere near me.

- Calm down. - You try and clock me one more time,

I will give you something to cry about.

Don't make me talk to the police!

You didn't want to talk to the cops,

shouldn't have been playing with knives.

Ah, the miracle of modern medicine.

The miracle of lorazepam, you mean.

Two milligrams is like a wrench to the head.

I feel bad for that guy.

He was taken advantage of.

Doesn't give him the right to kill.

Are you okay? You look off.

Well, I just... I'm not good with hospitals.

Oh, Nurse Albany? Hi.

I'm... Give me a sec.

We're police. We need an update

on Theo Burton's condition, please.

Knife wound to the leg.

Hemodynamically stable.

He'll be fine.

You have a lovely bedside manner.

When can we talk to him?

After his CT angio.

I told you, your wife has been discharged.

You can't send her to the nursing home like this.

- Get her shoes on. - She could get septic again,

and we'll be back here tomorrow.

She got her antibiotics. She'll be fine.

Move the meat, right?

Because that's all sick people are to you?

You keep discharging her too early.

How about a little compassion?

Here's your compassion.

Leave on your own, or I call security.

Nurses on TV are so much nicer.

Nurses on TV aren't real.

Oh, I didn't know dogs were allowed in the E.R.

No dogs!

I need this E.R. to remain sanitary.

I need Conan for my anxiety.

See a shrink, and get the dog out!

Blue team to E.R.

Blue team to E.R.

This patient's gonna arrest!

Bring a crash cart!

Get a doctor in here!

- Respiration's shallow. - That's Theo.

He's bradying down. BP's dropping.

Someone get me an amp of atropine now.

- Doctor, he's in v-fib. - Call a code!

Code blue in the E.R.

Code Blue in Emergency.

The nurse said he was fine.

Then why does it look like they're losing him?

I thought this patient was stable.

- He was. - Charging. Clear!

- This makes no sense. - Shock again.

Charging.

Clear.

So, let me get this straight: Your perp was

stable one minute, then dead the next... just like that?

- Yeah. The doctor was flummoxed. - Flummoxed?

Poleaxed.

He thinks it might have been

an undetected vascular compromise, but...

He was fishing for answers.

The hospital is scheduling a quality review of the case.

Yeah, don't hold your breath.

They've got more red tape than we do.

Needham, Doc, don't shoot the messenger,

but you got a CUPI.

- A CUPI? - That's not contagious, is it?

Circumstances undetermined pending investigation.

A CUPI's a case that keeps on kicking

even after death.

It is worse than contagious.

Someone called the tip line about your man Theo Burton.

"Your suspect is not the first person

that Crosstown Hospital m... murdered ""

Murdering patients? Really?

That's quite an accusation.

Theodore Burton was stable when he died in your E.R. yesterday.

Detectives, it's a hospital.

Sometimes people die.

Sometimes people live. Look, I get it.

We just have to follow up on these things.

- It's procedure. - Well, an unexpected death

hardly indicates criminality.

The majority of the patient deaths that occur

in Crosstown General's E.R. are among

the critically injured, ill, or DOA.

We are not talking about the majority of deaths.

We're talking about people who die

in unexpected or unusual circumstances.

As a hospital administrator, maybe you can help us out

with a list of patients who have recently died.

Patient privacy laws won't allow that.

So I'll get a subpoena, come back,

and then you'll give me a list?
