Kate, pick up! Get back, get back.
Hey! You the c.
O.
Here? Who are you? Detective whatley.
My partner's in there.
I tried to call her on the phone, But she won't answer.
Your partner, is she armed? No, but-- Central, be advised that we have A possible hostage.
We're going to need S.
E.
R.
T.
Out here right away.
Listen, I know the perp, ok? Let me try and talk him down.
We have negotiators for that.
How the hell did she end up In there, anyway? She's coming out.
Coming out.
Drop your weapon! Back off, or I'll kill her! Kate! Hold your fire.
Put your weapon down.
Hold your fire! Drop your weapon now! Drop the weapon! Don't do anything stupid.
Put the weapon down.
Help you find something? No, I'm good.
Ok.
Rewards club card? Nope.
Only take a second To fill out an application.
Just need your telephone number.
I'm good, thanks.
All right.
$24.
85.
Credit or debit? Hey, hey, hey! Your stuff! So jenny stafford, 28.
Says she's been experiencing blackouts the last 2 weeks.
But her hippocampus is fine.
Normal blood flow, no shrinkage.
But you think her memory loss is real? I do.
Her symptoms are consistent with selective amnesia.
I just can't find a medical cause for it.
Any psychiatric history? Uh, you know, she's been experiencing Mild panic attacks for most of her adult life.
Her doctor's been giving her anti-anxiety meds Last couple years.
Uh, damon balfus, columbia prez.
Oh, he's the one that made the referral? Yeah.
He can't figure out the amnesia, either.
But listen, when she told him That she was also experiencing violent visions, He thought it was a side effect of the new meds, So he stopped them.
But she just got worse.
That's why, you know, he sent her to us.
Is there any other trauma we should know about? Well, she's getting married this weekend.
Does that count? You don't understand.
We have 300 people Who are going to be here in two days.
Barb, it's not about the wedding.
That's right.
We just want jenny to get better.
Of course we do.
I just-- excuse me.
We really should be talking to the patient alone.
Ok? Yeah, yeah.
We'll go downstairs, get some coffee.
No, it's ok.
I don't know how long this is going to take, And you're going to miss work next week for the honeymoon.
And, mom, you have wedding stuff.
You guys can just go.
Come on, barb.
Baby, you sure you don't want me to wait? I'll be fine.
Hmm.
So Tell us what you've been seeing.
First, I hear this music.
And then, um, I see this man.
Um And then I hear gunshots, And I feel like I've been killed.
It's horrible.
Cole must think I'm insane.
We've been through so much.
What do you mean? I have had panic attacks Since I started dating.
I'd be out to dinner or at the movies or in bed, And I would wig out.
Guys just couldn't deal.
But cole hung in there.
Sometimes, he'd just hold me.
When we moved in together, they stopped.
But, uh, now the attacks are back.
And they don't make any sense.
And I'm seeing these, uh, awful things.
What kind of things? In the visions I'm with this man.
And we're having sex.
And It's crazy and erotic And dangerous, And it feels good.
I love cole so much.
Why am I seeing myself with this other guy? It might have to do with past life trauma.
Can you make it stop? So, jenny, I'm going to lead you through some guided hypnosis Using harmonic therapy.
Just take a couple of deep breaths.
All you have to do is relax.
Just relax.
And listen.
Let the sounds in.
You're with the man.
We're-- we're kissing.
He's unbuttoning my blouse.
I see his watch.
It's really old.
A triangle.
There's a woman in the corner.
Stay with her.
It's jackie kennedy.
She's giving us a tour.
Wait, now I'm running.
Past a music club, I think.
There's something on the wall.
What is it? He's chasing me.
He's behind me, he has a gun! I'm shot! I think he shot me! Jenny, jenny, you're ok, you're ok, you're ok.
You said you saw something just before you were shot? Yeah, a poster or something on the wall.
Very old, on the wall.
It was really torn up.
I--I don't know.
Can you draw it for me? You know, this could be a clock.
Or half a clock.
These marks could be numbers.
I don't know what this thing is coming out of the top of it.
What about jackie kennedy? That's where it gets interesting.
This window used to be the door in the olden days.
All the carriages would come to the south entrance And people would come up the stairs.
So her tour of the white house Was broadcast live in 1962.
And add that to the fact That jenny said that the man in her regression Was wearing a vintage watch.
It seems like we got a possible timeline.
So you think she's regressing in 1962 Even though she was born in 1985? Pretty cool, huh? Jenny's soul, for some reason, Skipped a lifetime.
The question now is why.
And what's triggered her, And what's causing her blackouts.
Hey, I got something.
I ran a background check on our girl.
Turns out she bought a gun last week.
You're kidding.
Nope.
Twenty-two caliber pistol From a pawn shop in queens.
Maybe she was trying to protect herself.
Yeah, but from what? She shouldn't have a gun, Not if she's having blackouts.
Did you call her? Yeah, straight to voicemail.
Maybe her phone's off.
She didn't say where she was going.
She does that a lot lately.
That's hers.
Welcome to my world.
She'll be back.
She always comes back.
That much, I can count on.
We found out she bought a gun recently.
I know.
She said it was because of those visions.
I saw it, I freaked.
She took it back.
I just want my old jenny back.
We were doing fine.
The panic attacks were gone, And now, she just gets all weird When I get close to her sometimes.
Nice watch.
You a collector? No, no.
Jenny bought it for me last week.
Cole, do you mind if I take that with me? Jenny mentioned a vintage watch in her regression.
Yeah.
Not really my style, anyway.
Didn't want to hurt her feelings.
She's always buying weird things.
Yeah, like what? This.
Hmm.
Candles, coffee, dog food, candy corn.
What is all this stuff? Yeah, I think something At this store has triggered her.
She's been coming in every couple of nights, Every night for the last couple of weeks.
Always buys a few things, Always asks about brian.
Who's brian? Brian duggan, a cashier who used to work here.
Female customers loved him.
Had that whole bad boy thing going on.
How bad? Well, he finished up parole a couple of months back, Small time stuff, So I gave him a second chance.
We only go around once, right? Actually, no.
You said brian used to work here.
Yeah, um, a couple of weeks ago.
You know, it was the same night That this girl first came in.
He started acting all weird by the end of the shift, Kind of babbling.
It seemed like he was afraid of his own shadow.
After that, he called in sick five days in a row.
So I had to let him go.
Any chance you have an address for this guy? Yeah.
Hello? Brian? Brian? Where is she? I don't know.
I don't know what happened.
She came into the store that night.
She ran off without her stuff, And I've been obsessed with her ever since.
I've been so freaked out, I haven't been able to go to work.
I haven't touched my guitar in two weeks.
You're a musician? That's the weird thing.
I've met chicks before, All you want to do is write songs about them.
But there's nothing muse-worthy about this girl.
Like, what is she? The upper east side, dave matthews fan.
I'm not sure.
After I saw her, I Started hearing this weird music box thing In my head, And started seeing stuff.
What kind of things? Like I'm having sex with a girl, And see her get shot.
You also see jackie kennedy on a tv? How'd you know that? I think the reason you've been obsessed with jenny Is that you may have known her in a past life.
The reincarnation thing? Yeah.
You familiar with it? Live like you're gonna live again.
so you're saying that some random girl Comes into my store one night And I just happen to know her from another life? Maybe.
Sometimes souls are drawn to one another for a reason.
Listen, I want to try regression therapy with you.
See if there's a connection here with jenny.
You up for that? If it'll make this stop, yeah.
Ok, thanks.
That was cole.
Jenny came home at midnight.
He's bringing her in.
Stay with it, keep listening.
I am, but I'm not seeing anything.
Ok.
Let's keep trying.
Does that mean anything to you? In my visions I think I might have a watch just like this.
I see her.
She's on a porch.
We're We're doing it again.
Wait, wait, wait.
It's different now.
She's--I'm chasing The girl, But--but there's- we're outside.
We're--we're on a street.
There's crowds.
It's like we're at a concert.
Is it a music club? Yeah.
Yeah, the andron.
Car.
Red ferrari 288.
Oh, god.
God, we're at an alley.
She stopped.
Shot! I think she might be dead.
I think she's dead.
Oh, god.
Did you see yourself shoot her? Maybe.
I don't know.
I don't know.
how did you do that? How did you make me remember? You regressed.
Maybe to the same places that jenny saw.
I don't know, dr.
Karna's gonnhave to run some more tests And we'll have to see, but Brian? What is it? I thought you said he couldn't see me.
He can't.
Susan? Is that you? Soul recognition? Yeah, it's when 2 people feel each other's presence Even though they're not together, Like when a mother knows her child's in danger Or a--or a wife senses her husband's about to die.
This is amazing stuff.
We've got 2 people seeing the exact same things In completely separate regressions And they even had the same recognition of the music In the auditory cortex.
Check out this eeg.
Beta waves show deep hypnotic regressions Right before he got up out of the chair.
He may have looked like he was awake, But his brain was still asleep.
Interesting.
He was feeling a connection with jenny-- Or susan, which I bet was her name in 1962.
Don't think it's just about 1962 anymore.
Come here.
We thought jenny's regressions were from 1962, But she also remembers running by a club.
Brian saw the same club, the andron.
But he said it felt like the 1980s, because it was.
Opened December 1984 on the west side.
But since jenny was born in July 1985, I ran a check on the poster she drew, The half clock with the weird shapes on top.
Check this out.
"after hours.
" The movie was released on September 13, 1985.
And the poster was probably hanging on the wall outside the club.
Also, the car that brian saw matches, too.
288 ferrari gto.
Fit manufactured in 1985.
Looks like they're both seeing the same thing From both 1962 and 1985.
2 people regressing to the same events In 2 different lifetimes.
Maybe their souls always reincarnate together, Reuniting time after time, Trying to solve whatev unfinished business there is between them.
Yeah, except they never get the chance.
In each lifetime, jenny winds up dead.
You're right.
And in the regressions, jenny feels like the victim And brian feels like the attacker.
He follows her, he seeks her out.
Is there such a thing as a soul stalker? Jenny went to make some phone calls.
I left brian in my office.
You're sure you're ok? Yeah.
I promise I'll be there for the dinner.
Good, 'cause I'm gonna need backup When your aunt chloe realizes it's open bar.
Call security.
Let's find jenny.
Come on.
Don't worry about me.
Just get better, Then come home and marry me.
Sounds like a plan.
I love you.
You, too.
Bye.
Not here.
Hey, hey, hey, not necessary.
Let's hope so.
How could I do this to cole? He is my life.
And I'm about to ruin everything Because of some twisted obsession With a guy I don't even know.
You've got to stop beating yourself up.
You don't understand.
Cole is it.
He is the one.
You were acting on forces out of your control.
Your regressions have been a mixture of passion and violence.
Your soul's obviously in conflict with brian's.
Where is he? He's with price and dr.
Karna.
Is he ok? He's scared and confused, just like you.
I'm getting married tomorrow And all I can think about is this stranger.
Jenny, we'd like to do a regression With both of you at the same time.
It's tricky, But we'll both be there.
Can you help us with that? Ok, here we go.
I want you to take some deep breaths.
Just nice and relaxed.
You're in 1985.
Summertime.
You're in the city.
It's crowded.
You're together.
You're scared.
I'm running.
Me, too.
Why are you running? Someone's chasing us.
I see a windmill.
Susan, no.
We're trapped.
They've got us.
Jimmy, no! Oh, my god, they just shot her, too.
No! they shot us.
They shot both of us.
It's ok.
It wasn't your fault.
He didn't shoot her.
Maybe not in 1985, But we still don't know who they were Or why they were killed.
Did you get the windmill? Yeah, and she called him jimmy.
Oh, my god.
That was so much worse than the other ones.
Yeah, I think they're more powerful when you're together.
What were we doing? I have no idea.
jeez.
Sorry.
Didn't mean to scare you.
Have any coffee around here? I'm brian, by the way.
Jenny.
Nice to meet you.
I mean, now that we know you didn't kill me.
The girl's not only pretty, she's got a sense of humor.
Oh, hey, um, don't think this is weird, ok, But I--I made you something.
What is it? It's just a few songs to expand your musical repertoire.
I'm guessing you need it.
Better than that music box crap I have playing in my head.
That's some creepy stuff.
I know.
It's so weird.
Who's the lucky guy? Excuse me? Whoever slipped that ring on your finger.
It's a small solitaire.
Girl like you This guy's not really in your class, is he? His name is cole.
And we're in love.
Easy.
I'm just saying you seem more like a sapphire girl to me.
Somebody who colors outside the lines.
He doesn't know that part of you, does he? You don't know anything about us.
So what is he? Is he safe? Dependable? Make a lot of money? All that.
And a lot more.
It's nice meeting you.
I'm done with this.
Whoever brian was, he didn't kill me.
I'm not scared of him anymore.
I just want to marry cole And go on with my life.
There's still a lot of work to do.
We don't know what happened in 1962 yet.
Or the music box or the windmill.
I don't care.
But your soul has unfinished business, jenny, And so does brian's.
I don't care about him.
Don't you think I've already put cole through enough? I'm getting married tomorrow.
Ok, ok.
What if kate went to the wedding with you? Malachi, you can't just invite me to her wedding.
Well, let's not call it an invitation.
Let's call it doctor's orders.
Uh, actually, I wouldn't mind if you came.
Are you sure? Yeah.
You know, just in case.
Susan and jimmy meredith robbed the windmill diner in July 1985.
It's right down the street from the andron.
After the robbery, they were killed in a shootout with police.
Well, that explains 1985.
What about 1962? Good question.
Since kate said that souls repeat patterns, I did a search for male/female robbery teams In the tri-state area back then.
Jackie's tour was in February, So that narrowed it down.
That's where I got this.
Paula and ed.
He was an ex-con With a record a mile long.
February 14, 1962, they spent the day Knocking over liquor stores in new jersey.
Cops tracked them to a motel And shot them both dead when they tried To make a run for it.
She was only 18 years old.
So you're saying that jenny and brian Are reincarnated souls of both of these couples? All I know is the mos match Both or patients' regressions.
So their souls find each other over consecutive lifetimes, They commit crimes, and then they die together.
You got a better theory? That certainly is a possibility.
I mean, bonnie and clyde, butch cassidy and sundance.
For all we know, this could have been going on for centuries.
So, what if I'm right? well, uh Then we could have a problem.
We need to keep them apart.
Baby.
Mmm.
You look beautiful.
Father of the bride.
Right.
Let's go.
I'll see you out there.
2 minutes.
Hey, it's brian.
How did you get this number? Hard work.
Did you listen to the cd? Yeah.
Uh, I like it.
A lot.
You deserve more, jenny.
Where are you? we're walking down the aisle here.
How are you at stopping destiny? What? You were right about the pattern, Only jenny and brian weren't victims, They were criminals.
Kate, both of them died in police standoffs.
Together.
In both lifetimes? '62 and '85.
And we can't find brian.
I'm gonna step outside.
I like your dress.
What the hell did you do? Ok, I understand you're upset, But you need to keep calm.
No, no, this is your fault, ok.
You said she would be fine, And now what, some crazy guy has kidnapped her? No, no, but he didn't kidnap her, cole.
She went with him willingly.
What are you talking about? She's acting on her past life impulses.
Her soul is connected to brian.
Ok, I thought I could be open to what it is you people do, But it seems like regressing my fiancée wasn't the right choice, Because this whole thing is insane.
That's the reality of the situation, cole.
I'm sorry.
How could she do this? You know jenny loves you.
Yeah, so much that she, uh, runs off with another guy On our wedding day.
She's sick.
She needs you to be strong for her right now.
We're gonna find her.
I promise.
Can you check your voicemail, See if she called? Poor guy.
How's he doing? He's pissed.
I don't blame him.
Have we got anything that's gonna help us find jenny? Not yet.
But I did some more research on her past life families.
Paula harris, the '62 version, Her father was murdered in her house.
Paula's mom thought it was the boyfriend ed, And the cops suspected both of them.
Jenny and brian could have been killers in their past lives.
We've got to find them, price.
Paula's mom's still alive.
She lives in frenchtown, new jersey.
It's not far away.
If brian and jenny are acting out of a pattern, Then maybe she can give us something.
I'll talk to her.
Ok.
You going in that? My dress? Yeah.
Why, what's wrong with it? Nothing.
I'll see what else I can find out About the crimes they committed.
Maybe something in their mos can tell us where they're headed.
This is crazy.
Mmm.
Stop it! Get off! Hey.
Hey, relax.
It's ok.
You're safe here with me, ok? like we're meant to be.
Mrs.
Harris, I know this might be hard, But can you tell me about the day your daughter ran away? My husband had come home late from the bar.
He must have caught ed and paula in her bedroom.
By the time I woke up And made my way down the hall, It was done.
My husband wasDead.
Paula and ed were gone.
And did paula ever call? Did she ever say where she was staying, Where she was headed? No.
Paula wasn't a bad girl.
It was that boy.
He killed my husband.
He took my daughter.
I I just hope god has enough mercy For a soul like that.
Those are beautiful.
Paula collected most of them.
I've added a few over the years.
Small comforts.
"carousel waltz.
" Paula's favorite.
Take it.
Please.
Take it.
It would make me happy.
Keep it running.
I'll be right back.
Oh, my god.
Jenny? Oh, my god.
Kate, things have gone so bad.
We need help.
Where are you? We're in a motel off highway 87.
I have to go.
I'll text you the room.
Jenny, open the door.
Jenny.
Jenny? Jenny, listen-- No, it's me.
I got a list of the robberies from '62.
Price, listen, jenny just called.
They're at some motel on highway 87.
I didn't get a name.
Paula and ed stayed at the sawmill motel, Highway 87, pennsylvania.
That's got to be it.
Meet me there.
Kate, wait for me, ok? Kate.
Dammit! Hey, you see the news? Kate just called.
She knows where jenny is.
I got to go meet her.
Wait, dude, look.
A clerk is in critical condition After being shot in a robbery this afternoon.
The suspect is a young male in his thirties, Seen here on surveillance video.
A witness saw the suspect flee in a 2-door sedan convertible With a female accomplice who was wearing a wedding gown.
You heard that right, a wedding gown.
Are you ok? Close the door.
All right, get over there And turn that thing off.
Brian, what is wrong with you? Go.
Don't say anything, susan.
Would you stop? That's not my name.
Give me the gun, brian.
I said turn that thing off! I don't know what you did-- I didn't do anything.
It was him.
Whatever's happening, You're acting out a pattern from your past lives, And you can stop it.
What do you mean? I think you're the reincarnated souls Of two people who find each other in each life And become criminals.
Your souls are acting out a pattern.
He robbed a liquor store.
He shot somebody.
Calm down.
Brian, come on.
You told me yourself you're not a bad person.
You said you've never hurt anybody.
What are you doing? What are you doing? I need to show you something.
It's all right, I'll go slow.
Slow.
Just listen.
Both of you tell me what you remember.
Hey! You get off her.
Daddy! Daddy, stop! You're hurting him.
Paula, do it.
daddy! Daddy? Daddy! Come on.
Daddy! Shut up and listen to me.
You killed him, all right? Now, we have to go.
It was an accident.
You think anyone's gonna believe that? I'm on parole, paula.
Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail? Get away from me! Come with me.
We can leave all this, just you and me together forever.
We have to leave now, ok? All right.
I killed- -I killed my own father.
I hit him--I hit him with a music box, And it was an accident, but you made me run, But I didn't want to.
But I did.
If it weren't for me, you would have gone to jail.
Easy, both of you, please.
You're right, paula killed her father, And then she--she panicked And she made a wrong choice.
I never should have left with you.
That's right.
Guys, just listen.
Even if what happened was an accident, What you did next, that's what's important.
I know what you did.
You left and you went on a criminal spree And both ended up dead.
That's the pattern.
That's what we have to stop right here.
So full of crap.
You two leave this room together, You could start the whole thing up again.
You have the power.
You can stop this right now.
No.
It doesn't have to be like this.
Aah! We can get out of this together.
Just us.
It doesn't have to end like she said.
Let go of me! I am not going anywhere with you.
You don't have a choice.
Aah! Brian, no.
No, brian.
No, no, no.
Open the door.
Brian, no.
He's coming out.
Second officer: Drop your weapon.
Drop your weapon! Back off or I'll kill her.
Kate! Hold your fire.
Hold your fire.
Brian, if you do this, you're both gonna die.
Kate, get back in the room and lock the door! You'll just have to come back and go through the pain all over again.
Brian, don't do this.
Let her go.
Jenny didn't do anything.
It was all me.
I forced her.
I'm gonna let her go now, ok? Ok? Don't shoot.
Don't shoot.
Down on your knees! Brian, please, just do what they say.
Kate, get back! No.
Don't shoot.
Don't shoot.
Don't shoot.
Jenny seems better.
Yeah, she's gonna be fine.
You want to talk about it? Not really.
kate, I'm here.
It's open.
You're not in texas anymore, doofus.
You should lock the door.
Hey.
Go ahead, make yourself at home.
Tequila.
I feel a lecture coming on.
Which one do you want? The one where every doctor at some point Loses a patient in their career, Or the one where you're very good at your job? Hmm.
I'll go with number 2.
Ok, here's the thing.
You put it all out there for your patients.
You risk everything, Even your life sometimes, Which is starting to get a bit old, by the way.
I'm sorry about that.
But that's you, kate.
And I guess I'm gonna have to accept that eventually.
But you have to accept the fact that even the great kate Can't fix everything.
God, I just don't understand it, though.
JennyShe broke the pattern.
Why couldn't brian? "like flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods.
" Shakespeare.
I'm impressed.
It's fate, mcginn.
I think we're fools if we think that we can control anything.
It's not up to us.
Well, that's depressing.
I think it's actually kind of comforting.
Kind of takes the pressure off when you think about it.
So where's laney tonight? She has a date.
I actually just got an email from her.
"don't wait up.
Xo, mom.
" smiley face.
Wow.
She's getting more action than both of us combined.
It's a sad situation, my friend.
