Gear up, guys.
Shots fired.
Robbery at 2110 Church.
One male, one female.
Subjects believed to be high-risk and under the influence.
Winnie, let's see if there are any other reports in the area.
WINNIE: Copy, boss.
Okay.

Yeah.
Absolutely.
(siren wailing) (tires screech) Inspector what have you got? Suspects fled in a gold sedan.
They got a .
357 Mag, and we just put out an APB.
Gun's theirs? No.
It's the shopkeeper's.
.
357.
People these days.
Well, they said they were robbed three times the last month.
Okay.
Okay, guys, subjects have fled the scene, and they are armed.
We need you to stay on the road.
We got an APB on a gold sedan.
Repeat: APB on a gold sedan.
Copy that.
ED: They're close.
We may be looking at a moving takedown.
You got an I.
D.
? No.
There's no camera in the shop.
Okay.
Eddie, see what you can get out of Mr.
and Mrs.
.
357, will you? (phone ringing) Parker.
Boss, no other calls in the area.
Just a dine-and-dash, but it matches the description.
I got a waiter on the line if you want to talk to him.
Okay.
Thanks, Winnie.
Putting him through.
Hey, I'm Sergeant Greg Parker.
I'm with the Police Strategic Response Unit.
What can you tell me about these people? They're in their late 20s, I guess.
You remember what they were wearing? Yeah, she was in a purple dress; he was in a blue suit.
Maybe, um, 5'9", 5'10".
You ask me, they were high.
Can you describe their state of mind? Like I said, crack thieves.
They come in here all the time.
Yeah, how were they behaving? Yeah, they were making the other customers uncomfortable.
Can you be more specific? Intense.
Really out of it.
Glassy-eyed, knocking things over.
Off-balance.
Her speech was a bit slurry.
And the woman apparently had a fit in the bathroom.
Just before they left, he was going on about being short on time.
Yeah "What are you gonna do with what you've got left?" What'd they take? Art Deco ring, five diamonds.
They didn't grab anything else on the way out? No.
No, they knew you guys were coming.
Okay, thanks for your help.
What's your take, Eddie? Looking like substance abuse.
Looking like, huh? Well, they could've cleaned out the whole place, but they didn't.
We got a foot cop said he just saw a gold sedan going north on Yonge above Charles.
Okay.
ED: Wordy, what's your 20? We'll send you a postcard, Inspector! All right.
Maybe we should stop now.
And get home.
Do you see any cops? Not yet.
Okay, then we're okay.
Unless there were cameras at that place.
You really don't think they can track us down? I don't want to risk being at home if they do.
But if we can't get home, then Then the plan changes.
But we don't have the I guess we improvise.
Okay? Laura? Laura! Laura! (inhales sharply) Hey! (groaning) Lo, you're back.
(gasping) Breathe.
Breathe.
I'm o I'm okay.
You're okay.
You're fine.
I'm okay.
Oh! MAN: Hey! What the hell? You okay? I don't believe this! I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Are you okay, yeah? I don't believe this! I'm okay.
What the hell were you thinking? We got to get out of here.
It's a red light, for God sakes! Aw, geez, look at this! Are you all right? Yeah, I'm all right.
But look what you did to my car, man! Come on.
Come on.
You okay? I mean, look at this Hey (horn honking) DRIVER: Hey, what do you think you're doing?! So, what substances you guys thinking? Could be cocaine.
Or meth.
With hallucinations? JULES: Goes with a high dose.
You dress up, you go out to dinner, and then you try to rob a pawn shop.
A fun Friday night.
PARKER: I don't know.
Taxi! Taxi! (horns honking) WINNIE: Team One, we got something.
Hit-and-run involving a gold sedan, Bloor and Parliament.
Subjects abandoned their vehicle and flagged an Oakwood taxi going west on Bloor.
Winnie, alert all units in the area.
Eyes open for flashing emergency lights on an Oakwood taxi.
PARKER: No sirens, SRU intervention only.
We're considering this a mobile hostage situation with possible drug users, and we do not want to provoke the subjects.
You got it.
No sirens, SRU only.
And, Winnie, let's track the gold sedan's license plate, see who we're looking for.
Or we put a call into the Oakwood dispatch.
See if we can tap into the fleet's GPS.
Track 'em down that way.
These kids and their toys.
Ev Ev.
My head is spinning.
Ramesh, we need to go faster.
I can't legally go faster than this, sir.
Ev, what are we going to do? (whispering): Hey.
No one's following us.
We're okay.
Nothing changes, Lo.
Okay.
WINNIE: We got a name.
We got a name on the owner of the sedan.
Evan Hewson, 28, no criminal record.
Address: 1382 Emilia Street with common-law partner Laura Scheinmann, 29.
Her record's clean also.
Boss, that's five minutes away from here.
Want some help on the profile? Yeah.
That'd be good.
SAM (over radio): I'll drop her off, catch up with you.
PARKER: Copy.
You don't want to come with? We do a rolling stop, we'll need the extra vehicle.
All right.
Just as well.
Wouldn't want to get you in trouble with the little lady.
Remind me: who dumped who again? Okay.
Pull over here.
What are we doing? We can't go home.
Yeah, but No.
We can get some here.
Ev! You'll be okay.
I'll be right back.
Is everything all right? A headache.
I just have a headache.
Your friend has gone to get you something.
Yeah.
(beeping) No! Don't touch that.
Look, I know you're just trying to do the right thing, but there is something that I need to tell you.
Please listen.
When I'm done, you can do whatever it is you need to do.
Just, please MAN (over radio): Car T6211, call in.
Please listen.
MAN: T6211.
Ramesh, call in, please.
I've got Oakwood Taxi's GPS tracking patched in.
You are looking at the entire active downtown fleet.
No unusual activity reported.
No crisis signals activated.
SPIKE: I don't like it.
If I got my taxi hijacked, the first thing I'd do is send the alarm code to dispatch.
Unless you've been forced out of the car.
Well, then, I'd have phoned it in by now.
Maybe you're driving under threat.
Or worse.
Thanks, Ramesh.
I believe this is yours.
MAN (over radio): T6211, call in.
Repeat: Car T6211, Ramesh, call in.
Lo, Lo, I love you.
Lo, Lo, I love you.
I've known them about nine years, since they moved in upstairs.
What kind of tenants are they? Quiet.
Not a lot of company.
They don't play any loud music.
Any trouble with the rent? They missed this month.
Is that the first time? No.
Usually, they call first.
Um I don't know what's going on with them.
Any recent changes in their work situation? As far as I know, he's still working at the hospital.
He's an intern.
Uh, Laura tutors English, but that comes and goes.
Lots of dots.
They won't get far.
(cell phone rings) Stainton.
What's up, Inspector? STAINTON: Looks like our friends just robbed a drugstore.
Not what I was hoping to hear.
Are you aware of any drug problems? No.
They're regular people.
All right, stop me if anything rings a bell.
Mood swings, either direction; volatility, depression, confusion, secretiveness Yeah, secretive.
Well, they scoot by the door like they don't want me to see them.
Last time I saw them, they looked tired, depressed.
You know, dark circles under their eyes.
From St.
Simon's.
Is that where Evan works? Hey, Sarge.
Hey, Jules.
We just got word that Bonnie and Clyde have stolen syringes and morphine from a drugstore.
Well, I just found their home supply.
One syringe and two vials.
So, morphine.
As addictive as heroin, and tolerance develops real fast.
JULES: Yeah, withdrawals are nasty.
Irrational and violent until they get what they need.
So, we know the substance.
Now we got to get to know the people underneath.
Okay.
Keep me posted.
You got it.
Boss, I think I got 'em.
Car T6211.
Going west on Bloor.
Just passed Jane Street.
Dispatch says he's not responding to radio.
Car T6211, subject acquired.
Moving takedown, maximum caution.
Let's move it, guys.
No sirens.
Residential area.
We don't want to trigger a high-speed pursuit.
SAM: Copy.
LEWIS: Copy that.
You remember that night at the Old Mill? Your mom made you ask me to dance.
I'm glad she did.
It's all gone by pretty fast.
Yeah.
There it is.
EVAN: Like it was yesterday.
You see that? Yeah.
We can come at them from both sides.
Wordy, approach the driveway from the west.
We'll take the east with Sam.
WORDY: Copy.
We got them.
ED: He's coming towards us.
Let's block it off.
(tires screeching) Get out of the car! Do it now! Hands out! Do it now! Move towards me! Move forward, sir! Do it now! Do it now! Do it now! Hands on the hood! Do it now! Thank you! No, they're not here.
You had two passengers in your car, male and a female, late 20s.
Yes? Well, where are they? They've gone in there.
Spike, work the truck.
Got it.
Can I help you with something? Oh, no.
Are you with a wedding party? Oh, we were just looking around.
To book something in the future or? Uh, yeah, to book something.
Okay, well, it's a little late, but I can schedule you a consultation.
Let's see what we have here.
Are you looking to book a summer wedding or? ED: Let's go, guys.
Let's move it.
Let's move it.
Let's move it.
What is this place? Popular wedding spot.
Target-rich environment.
I got onboard security snapshots from the taxi coming at you.
Thank you, Spike.
ED: How you doing? Officer Wordsworth.
WORDY: Yeah.
Hi.
We have a security threat in your building.
We want you and your staff to lock down all the exits.
But we don't want to trigger panic among your guests.
All right.
PARKER: Okay, we're looking for a young couple in their late 20s, formally dressed, possibly under the influence.
That's most of our guests.
Does that help? They were just here a second ago.
How many rooms in the facility? There's six reception rooms.
They're all in use.
Excuse me.
You can trust in me and believe in me WOMAN: Honey, don't touch.

There's another room over here.
There any other entrances? Yep, just around the west corner over there.

armed hostage taking.
Sergeant Parker begins negotiation with subjects Evan Hewson Now, we're going to take our time.
We're gonna slow down.
and Laura Scheinmann.
Go, go, go, leave.
We're gonna talk and we're gonna figure a way out of this.
How does that sound? Crazy for you Evan, I'm gonna turn the music off, so I can hear what you have to say.
Okay? * I'll see you all the way through * Mr.
DJ, turn the music off! Crazy about you And get out of here! Life used to (music stops) PARKER: Thank you.
Okay, Evan and Laura, you want to talk about what brought us here today? Get it ready.
What do you mean? Evan? Keep your distance! Sierra One in position.
WOMAN: Whoa.
Oh, my God, that's me.
Boss, there's more to this.
What do you have? Laura's office.
A battlefield: reminders, sticky notes everywhere, like she's fighting to remember stuff, like she's like she's losing it.
Okay, go through it, Jules.
Let's see if we can find out what she's trying not to forget.
Got it.
Spike, bring in the cabbie and see if you can track down any family.
Copy.
I don't recognize these people.
Do you know who they are? EVAN: It's just you and me, Lo.
What are you doing with a gun? No, no PARKER: Is everything okay, Evan? I want to go home.
I want to go home.
(sobbing): I want to go home.
'Cause it looks like Laura could use some help.
I hear you two stopped off at a pharmacy.
You picked up some things.
Hey, come here.
Come here.
Want to talk about that? LAURA: I want to go home.
SAM: Sierra One no shot, obstruction.
JULES: Hey, Sarge, I got an appointment four days ago at St.
Simon's Hospital personal with a phone number for a Dr.
Fylin.
Give me the number, Jules.
I really want to get your friend some help, Evan.
We don't need your help! Why is that, Evan? We just need to be left alone.
Okay, why is that? Just ten minutes.
We just need ten minutes.
That's it ten minutes alone.
Then it doesn't matter.
Tell me what that means, Evan.
ED: So you weren't driving under duress? They didn't threaten you? No, sir.
Were they using drugs? No.
You see a lot of people go through your cab, right? What's your take on these two? I know what people who are high look like, how they smell, how they talk.
These two All right, go on.
She said they were short on time.
She said it was their last night.
They wanted to dance together.
They wanted to dance and that's it? The rest is not for me to say.
Okay.
Guys, the cabdriver is saying the same thing that the couple in the pawn shop said, that they are "short on time.
" SPIKE: Boss, she's not on morphine.
It's not about getting high.
That doctor's appointment was with a neurology clinic.
It took a bit of twisting, but I got Dr.
Fylin to release the diagnosis.
Laura has CJD Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Slurred speech, dizziness, hallucinations.
A brain disorder.
(Laura sobbing) Spike, I need to know more.
I'm on it.
(typing) Jules, how much morphine is in those vials? That's a lethal dose.
SPIKE: She has spontaneous CJD.
It's very rare.
It's like one in a million.
Your brain starts literally disintegrating.
There's no treatment.
There's no known cure.
You can go from diagnosis to death in the space of two weeks.
It gets worse by the day.
Laura's losing her memory and her balance, her motor skills, all her major brain functions.
Cabdriver said all they wanted to do was dance.
And then they were going to go home for the morphine and that's how the night was supposed to end.
Yeah, but they couldn't go home, so he robbed a pharmacy.
Now he's asking for ten minutes.
Ten minutes for the dose to take effect.
Sam, keep your eyes on 'em; both of 'em.
SAM: Copy.
(sighs) Laura, can you hear me? I'm getting a better understanding of what you went through today, and we know you're sick.
Are you back? Yeah.
Can't imagine what that must be like.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna keep him talking.
But everything I'm seeing today tells me Can you get it ready? Can you do that, Lo? that you're very strong Yes.
that you and Evan are very strong and you're very brave.
You're not going to take us apart.
Boss, she's opening her bag.
She's doing something inside it.
What do you see? It's the morphine; they're cutting to the chase.
Ed, what's your take? Sam, you got the shot? Multiple hostages.
It's high-risk.
Less lethal can you do it? Do we want to do it? There's a risk we hit the hostages.
We go less lethal, we're looking at an injury.
We let her do what she wants to do and we are looking at a death.
We can't let her kill herself.
Yeah, copy.
Morphine's painless.
What are you saying, Spike? Isn't this her life what's left of it? I'm just saying maybe we should be looking the other way.
Maybe it's better we let her have what she wants.
Can't do it.
We interfere, the subject could start shooting.
So we put lives at risk to save somebody who's already dying? ED: Our job is to save lives.
We're cops.
We're not judges.
Boss? Yeah, he's right.
We put it in play.
Jules.
Yeah, boss? Get Frank McAndrew on the phone and tell him this: I'd like to solicit his legal opinion here on these two staying together based on compassionate grounds.
If she has two weeks to live, then they're not gonna spend it apart.
Got it.
And when I say opinion, I mean he calls his favorite judge and he works his famous powers of persuasion hear me? We take the shot, he will accelerate.
He's still armed.
We can use the distraction to clear the hostages.
Copy that.
She's filling the syringe.
Sam, take the shot if you see it.
Ready, Lo? I'm ready.
(gunshot) LAURA: No, no, no! ED: Keep the weapon lowered, Evan.
Just keep it down.
That's it.
What did you do?! Sorry we had to do that, Evan.
You won't let them take us! Stay back! LAURA: What are we gonna do?! Evan? It's okay.
Lo, Lo, it's okay.
What are we gonna do?! It's okay.
We'll figure a way out of here.
What are we gonna do? Just put the gun on the floor, Evan.
Don't tell me what to do! We're gonna talk through this, but you gotta look at me.
You gotta look at me, Evan.
No! Evan, Evan Do it.
(cocks gun) Do it! Evan! Please? Please? Laura? Please? Give them space.
Sam, switch to lethal.
Copy.
This is crazy.
My son is not a drug user.
He-he does not rob stores.
I know that, Mrs.
Hewson, and I need you to stay calm because I need you to help me help Evan.
Evan and Laura have known each other for a long time? This is where they met.
Best thing that ever happened to him.
Okay, I'm really sorry, but I have to tell you some sad news about Laura.
I got the solution.
Evan please.
Do it.
Please.
Evan, don't do that.
(whimpering) Please! Please.
Thank you, Evan.
That's the right choice.
That gun goes up again I hear you.
Evan, please.
Evan, I'm sorry for what's going on in your life.
And I really want to help you, but I got to tell you that we can't let you hurt Laura.
LAURA: No.
I don't get to make many choices anymore, but this choice is mine.
We we've talked about it for four days, four nights.
We we made a video.
It's at home, so that when I'm gone, Evan won't be blamed.
Oh, God.
This is why.
Mrs.
Hewson? Last week, he came to see me.
Just dropped in, wanted to go for a walk.
He held my hand.
He never does that anymore.
He told me he loved me like it was good-bye.
Why would he do that? Jules, how much morphine did you find at their place how many doses? Oh, God oh, God.
I'm not going to break my promise.
She gets everything she wants today.
SPIKE (over radio): Two vials, 120 milligrams each.
Copy, Spike.
Boss? Yeah.
I heard it.
You guys have known each other a long time, right? so since you were what? Fifteen.
a long time.
That's a lifetime.
That's a lot of memories.
Laura, I know I know something about memories, and I know a little something about what happens when someone shoots someone else.
It's not like you think it is.
It's horrible.
It's messy as hell.
I mean, you see something like that, that image stays in your head.
Don't don't listen to him, Lo.
And what you're asking Evan to do, it's going to be the last memory he has of you.
It's going to be the last thing he sees every night before he goes to sleep.
Don't believe him.
There's lots I'm going to see when I close my eyes at night, okay? But I got to be honest with you, Laura.
It's not going to get that far.
You see, my team is going to shoot Evan before he shoots you.
(gasping) It's the law.
That's our job.
To not let him do that.
I'll take my chances.
ED: Did Laura know about the last part of your plan here, Evan? The part where you intended to use that second dose of morphine on yourself? Did she know that? Now, you knew that, right? You knew that that's what it would take.
Did you tell her that you had a second vial? Did you tell her you were going to kill yourself, that you were going to go with her? Did you tell her that? Ev? (sighs) But why? ED: Hold off, guys.
Let's give them some space.
I I can't.
I don't want to.
I don't want to live without you, Lo.
You have to.
You have to.
Please.
I can't.
I can't.
You have so much time still.
Your mom she needs you.
And and your family needs you.
You are going to love someone else someday.
That's not going to happen.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
Evan how am I going to live on if you don't live? JULES (over radio): Sarge, I just heard back from McAndrew.
He thinks they can swing it.
Copy that.
Good work, Eddie.
Evan? No matter how much time you have left two days or two weeks we're going to make sure that the two of you stay together.
We're not going to split you up.
Are you with me? (sighs) ("Lullaby (Chopin Ballade)" by Melanie Doane playing) Tonight And every night I will be here by your side So that's the story.
Look, I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, all you guys, for not giving any advance warning.
I guess I didn't really get much warning myself.
No need to be afraid But I I just don't want a fuss.
You know, you get that, right? Close your eyes, close your eyes I don't want pity or two weeks of good-byes.
And when you do I look at you In wonder I wonder Can you truly be mine Be mine Be mine? (song ends)
