Flashpoint s04e16 Episode Script
Team Player
- Hello? - Kevin Baines? This is Sam Braddock from the Police Strategic Response Unit.
I'm calling you about Charlie Alanak.
He escaped from his facility today.
You think he's coming here? Okay, team, subject is violent and unpredictable, so tread careful.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Charlie! Ungh! Agghhhhh! Ungh! Morning, Charlie.
How are you? The same? Shall we ask Dr.
Lavery to adjust your meds? Charlie, talk.
You have to talk.
It's not Pills That I need.
It's okay.
What do you need? Oh I'm sorry, Charlie.
I wish I could.
It's all in boxes, up to here.
My mom and I are eating out of paper plates.
You guys lived there for a long time, right? and I got six days to clear it before the open house.
Craigslist, where priceless family heirlooms go to die.
So tell me, your dad's wine, is that stuff any good or what? Terrible.
But, you know, every year like the house would smell like wine juice and like yeast, and my dad'd be going down there in the basement like every 20 minutes- Spike.
- Hey.
Boss.
- Come on, let's go.
It's late.
A lot to cover.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, Charlie.
Get out of my face, Alanak! Hey, Nestor! Stop it! I'll kill you! Guards! Get him! - Nurse! - Charlie? Get back! Hey! Hey! Nestor, step back! - Charlie? - - Take it easy! Meadowview Institute, Subject's got a knife, one injured.
The name is Nestor Prejean.
I'm forwarding you his records.
Assault.
Assault with a deadly.
Assault with intent.
Attempted murder.
Can't the guards get it under control? They're unarmed, like a prison.
Winnie, I need to speak with the doctor in charge.
I'll get him on the line.
Boss, turn your comm off.
You all right? - Yeah.
- Did you see Spike when he came in today? Yeah.
Mom's moving back to Italy, selling the house.
He's on his own for the first time in his life.
Did you hear that? How'd I miss that? That's my point, Greg.
I mean, usually you don't.
So I ask you again, you all right? No.
It's just It's some stuff at home, Eddie.
Is it Marina? I love having her in my life, I do.
But everything she's been through, she needs a lotta support and she deserves it.
She deserves it.
She deserves someone there, someone to listen.
But sometimes I come home from work, and there she is and I'm burned out.
I'm on empty, I just Boss, I'm patching through Meadowview's chief physician Turn your comm on.
It's your call.
Dr.
Lavery, hey, it's Sergeant Parker.
What're we looking at here? This patient's highly volatile.
He stabbed a fellow patient and now he's got a security guard trapped.
Okay, we've got Nestor's record.
What can you tell me about his condition? He's schizoaffective.
And he's been known to resist his meds, which leads to paranoia, hallucination, anger, and right now he's showing all the signs of a full-scale psychotic break.
Okay, doctor, just keep your staff out of range.
We're almost there.
He'll see anything we do as a threat.
He's gonna see our arrival as a threat.
Boss, we got a talk-down option on this? Not a chance, Eddie, not with his condition.
Okay, team, we're skipping the talk, going straight to tac.
We're gonna surf him.
Raf, Sam, less-lethal.
Spike, prep the sonic shield as a distraction.
Copy that.
Gear protection as soon as we're inside.
Thanks, Sam.
Doctor Lavery? Yes, this way, down the stairs.
Sir, we need to clear this area out now.
We're in lockdown.
Everybody's being moved to their cells.
Guys, let's move.
Cut him! If you don't, stab him.
Spike, on my go.
You ready? Yeah.
Go! Police! Right there! SRU! SRU! Drop the weapon! Drop it! Sam, you got him? You're okay, you're okay.
You're gonna be okay.
Subject secure.
Eddie, we've got a problem.
Right there.
That's one of our nurses, Lorraine Manley.
Where's the security guard? Who's that? Charlie Alanak, the patient Nestor attacked.
He's supposed to be in the infirmary.
He got out.
Team one, new deal! Winnie, let's get an apb on the nurse's car.
It was seen leaving the parking lot.
I'm gonna need Charlie Alanak's file - everything you have on him, starting from where he's from.
Boss, I'm gonna review the incident, see what I can read.
That's good, Spike.
Do that.
Here's session notes, and there's more on the computer.
'Kay, team, I'm gonna feed you on the fly here.
Charlie's a local, lived in the city his whole life.
He's gonna head towards what he knows.
There are two main routes into town from here.
Sam, head east.
We're west on the 407.
Let's go.
Copy that.
Most of the patients here have been diagnosed with mental illnesses, but Charlie's story is different.
He suffered a frontal lobe injury at 19.
His football helmet came off during a game, just before he got hit.
The football injury also caused a minor stroke triggering a form of aphasia.
Aphasia.
That's a language disorder, right? That's right.
It's hard for him to find words, put them in order.
What about logic and foresight? Cognitively he's pretty high functioning.
Frontal lobe damage can mean a lot of things.
For Charlie, it's impulse-control, mood swings, bouts of violent aggression.
And that's why he's here.
A year after his injury he was involved in a fight, killed a young man.
- Murder.
- No.
Manslaughter.
He pled diminished capacity, but I don't see a police report.
Okay, Winnie, contact the arresting officer.
We need more on this.
- Copy.
- - I can tell you that Charlie's pattern of aggression continued once he got here.
There were regular altercations with the patients, and recently these outbursts have been getting more frequent, and more violent.
Boss, you're gonna wanna take a look at this.
Be right there, Spike.
What do you have, Spike? Well, he's definitely high-functioning.
Watch.
Charlie approaches Nestor, tries to provoke him And then Nestor stabs him.
That's what the witnesses have described.
Except that's not what happened.
Charlie cut himself? To get to the infirmary.
Grabs a hostage with car keys.
All eyes on Nestor, he makes his move.
Team one, listen up, this may be a premeditated escape.
Charlie may be working out a plan here, and we've gotta find him before something triggers him and he loses control.
Where're we going, Charlie? This Used to be all F-fields.
Yeah.
Yeah, they started building two years ago.
Up here.
Left.
Don't.
No.
Charlie, you know they're gonna come after you, right? No.
I've, I've I-I've got You've got your freedom? Yeah, I know.
You do now, Charlie, but what happens next? Hmm? I stay that way.
Stop at gas station.
I don't have money, Charlie.
I left my purse.
No answer on Manley's phone.
Boss, I've got Officer Carlyle.
He was first on scene when Charlie was arrested.
Okay, patch him through, Winnie.
It's Carlyle here.
You're looking for background on a Charlie Alanak? Hey, officer.
The subject's at large, but our profile's a little spotty.
Hoping you can shed some light on his crime.
Yeah, of course.
A call came in late, Kempton campus.
Victim was 19, 20, same age as Alanak.
There was a verbal exchange and some taunting.
They fought.
Alanak pushed the kid off the football stands.
He hit his head and he died.
Schoolyard brawl, two lives changed forever.
Alanak confessed.
Witnesses corroborated.
Case closed.
You know if he and the victim had a history? No.
No indication of that.
By all accounts he just snapped.
I will tell you what I remember the most, sergeant.
What's that? That look in his eye.
There's kids crying, there's a body lying on the ground, blood everywhere And Alanak? Dead calm.
Okay.
Thanks, officer.
Thanks for your time.
Boss, just got a hit on the plate.
Toll camera picked them up leaving the 407 at Bayview.
Raf, next exit.
Sam, we're close.
Come west, we'll flank him.
Copy that.
On my way.
Ed, I'm mobile, headed South.
Copy that.
Okay, team, second time today, subject is violent and unpredictable, so tread careful.
Hey, bud, it's pre-pay! I don't Gotta come inside and pay.
No.
Cash.
Oh, you're looking for the free gas station.
Sorry, it's about a half mile down the block.
Sir? Give him gas, please.
I can pay you back later.
I work just up the road.
Please.
Tell you what, why don't I call my manager.
Maybe we can figure something out.
No.
Stay! I'm just gonna make a quick call.
This is an emergency! I need gas! It's okay, Charlie! No-no-no! Charlie, no! No, Charlie, no, no! Back off! Boss, I got a live 9-1-1 call.
It's Lorraine Manley.
Get here fast.
They're fighting.
Lorraine, where are you? - True Value gas.
- Got it! True Value gas.
Langstaff and Bayview.
We're a minute away.
Charlie, please let go of him! Let him go! Lorraine, you listen to me.
You get distance and you stay covered, all right? You have to let go! Let go of the gun! Lorraine? No! Don't! Eddie, shots fired.
Extreme caution! You're gonna be fine.
Everything will be fine.
Just relax.
- SRU! - Where's Charlie? He's not here, he's gone.
They were fighting and the gun went off.
He panicked.
Boss, we missed him.
Officer He took the gun.
I never imagined he'd do something like this.
I tried to talk to him, he wouldn't listen.
I'm sure it wasn't your fault.
Winnie, let's get Charlie's photo and description.
Full media alert, he's armed and dangerous.
Will do.
- Team.
- Go, boss.
Charlie's on a cocktail of meds, lithium, methylphenidate It goes on.
Mood stabilizers.
Yeah, and the longer he goes without 'em The worse our day's gonna get.
Doctor, I need a list of Charlie's friends and family, anyone who so much as sent him a get-well card.
- I'll get the visitor log.
- Thank you.
Okay, Eddie, I can tell you this, no brothers or sisters.
His father died when he was young.
Just a mom, Katia Alanak.
Okay, boss, on our way.
- Sam - We'll finish up here.
Spike, you're with me.
Let's move.
Charlie, I wanna talk about you understanding your actions.
Talking Doesn't help.
I'm still Trapped.
I'm still trapped here! Yes, Charlie, you are.
You are here, but you need to I printed off the names of all the visitors.
There's twelve in total.
Pretty standard pattern.
Regular visits in the first couple months, classmates, friends, and then they taper off.
Most of the names on this list haven't been here in a couple of years.
Once they realize conditions like Charlie's is a lifetime's work People move on.
Okay, team, I'm sending you a list of 12 names.
Let's cross 'em off.
Boss, any old teammates on that list? Coaches? Trainers? What're you thinking, Spike? Well, Charlie used to play football, right? Those can be strong bonds.
That's better.
Doctor? Any of these football buddies? Yeah.
Don Colby and Kevin Baines.
They were on his university team.
Let's start there.
Don Colby, Kevin Baines.
We'll send unis to cover the rest.
Thanks.
No answer at Don Colby's.
I'm heading over there.
Okay, I'll try Kevin Baines.
I'll catch up with you when I'm done.
- Hello.
- - Kevin Baines? Yes.
This is Sam Braddock from the Police Strategic Response Unit.
I'm calling you about Charlie Alanak.
He escaped from his facility today.
You think he's coming here? This is just a precautionary call, sir, I don't wanna alarm you, but I have to tell you Charlie's considered armed and dangerous.
Armed? So if he tries to make contact with you in any way, call the police immediately, okay? Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I will.
Thanks for the call.
Oh gee Guess who? Uh is it Lady Gaga? No! Oh, it's Nicky! You all right? Yeah, yeah.
Hey, the moving trucks don't get here for a bit.
You wanna get outta this mess.
Sure.
That'd be great.
- Okay.
- I'll go get the stuff.
Police! Open up, please! Hey! Stop! Right there! Don Colby? Yeah.
What's this all about? What're you running for, don? Oh, let me guess.
It's medical, right, and you're just filling out the paperwork? Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, well, I'm here because a patient escaped from Meadowview complex today.
We need to know if he's contacted you.
Charlie Alanak.
Wait.
Charlie busted out? You haven't heard from him? No.
No.
Not for a couple years.
Doctor, Charlie's crime, I can't find a sentence.
That's because Meadowview isn't a prison.
Sentences aren't preset.
When Charlie arrived, we had reason to believe he'd only be with us a couple years.
What happened? Well, we can't start the release process until we're absolutely sure he doesn't pose a danger.
Based on today, he's got a ways to go.
Here, let me show you something.
Katia Alanak? Yes? Hi.
Officer Lane.
This is Officer Scarlatti.
We were hoping you could help us.
Of course.
Have you seen your son today? I think there's been a mistake.
My son's in a facility.
Your son escaped from Meadowview, ma'am.
Dr.
Lavery; How did it start, Charlie? I didn't start it! Well, it takes two to fight, Charlie, and when you respond impulsively, that's where the trouble starts.
That's what got you here in the first place, remember? No.
Yes, Charlie, and you know it.
You lost control that night and a young man died.
I made a choice.
What're you saying, Charlie? I had to.
Had to kill him? Answer me, Charlie.
Are you saying you did it on purpose? No more.
That was two months ago.
It's a discouraging change from someone who showed remorse about a moment of impulse, to this, unfeeling, combative, confused about his own state of mind.
Man on a fast-track out of here.
A week ago it got worse.
Charlie shut down altogether.
No change in his health? His meds? No, not at all.
You know what I remember most about when Charlie was healthy? What's that, Mrs.
Alanak? The noise.
The boys and the commotion.
After the accident, life just got so quiet.
It was easier for him not to talk.
It was embarrassing.
Charlie's friends stopped coming by after that? Kevin didn't.
Even when Charlie was in trouble, Kevin was there.
His family found us a lawyer, and helped pay for the legal costs.
I don't know what Charlie would do without him.
What do you mean by that? Kevin took a job out west.
- He's leaving? - Mm-hm.
Mrs.
Alanak, when is he leaving? I wrote it down.
Today.
Boss, we got something here.
Yeah, go ahead, Eddie.
Charlie's closest friend is Kevin Baines.
Yeah, he's in the logs.
He visits regularly.
Yeah, well, not any more.
He's moving away, today.
So, loss of a best friend; That's a huge blow.
Especially for someone in Charlie's position.
Okay, Eddie, you stay with the mom, I'm on it.
Suz, let's go.
Just a second.
Charlie.
Man, look at you.
Are you all right? Um um I got got Escaped.
I know, Charlie.
The police are after you.
Mm-mm.
Uh I need Look, this isn't a good place for you to be, buddy.
Okay? They already called here.
Tell you what.
Why don't you go to my cottage, okay? Do you have some way of getting around? No.
Kevin You can't abandon me.
Look, I I, uh Charlie, I don't know what to say.
I'm sorry, okay? We fly tonight.
You said You sa Stick by me! - And I will, Charlie - You promised! All shoed up? - Wait, Suz.
- Let's hit the road.
Um Suz, I told you about my old friend.
Charlie Alanak.
Hi.
- Don't.
- I gotta take this, Charlie.
It's police.
Now, we've got a thousand things going on.
I'm gonna answer my phone, okay? Whoa, whoa, Charlie! Charlie! Don't answer! Don't answer! Okay, look, Charlie, just let them go inside, okay? - No.
- Charlie, you're scaring my family.
Okay, you're scaring my boy.
Okay Then we drive! Okay, we can do that.
Just me and you, the two of us.
To Robbie.
Robbie? You think that's a good idea, Charlie? - Okay! - Now! Okay.
Go inside.
Honey, go inside.
We're going, okay? We're going.
Boss, 911 call from the Baines house.
Charlie was there.
Officer's on his way and I got Suzanne Baines on the line.
Suzanne, hi.
My name is Sergeant Greg Parker.
He took Kevin.
He has a gun.
A police officer is heading to you now, ma'am.
You're safe.
His name's Charlie Alanak.
Kevin knows him from school.
Okay, okay.
Do you know where they were going? No.
Well, yes To see someone Someone named Robbie.
Do you know who that is? No idea.
Why did he come here? I'm trying to figure that out, ma'am.
But help's on its way, okay? You just stay inside.
Okay.
Mrs.
Alanak, does Charlie know somebody named Robbie? Robbie's not a person.
Boss, Tom Robbarts field.
Kempton University.
The scene of the crime.
- Let's move.
- Mr.
Lane? - Please.
- Ma'am, we're gonna do everything we can.
I promise you that.
Okay, team, why does he go back to ground zero? Maybe he wants to face his ghosts.
Some kind of atonement.
Charlie's assault, he snapped, pushed that kid to his death, it was an impulse.
Charlie talked about making a choice that day There's something we're missing here.
Hey, boss, I'm here with Raf now.
The police report said that don witnessed it.
Okay, bring him, Sam.
We need to get inside this thing.
Need all the help we can get.
Okay, copy that.
Don, we're gonna need your help on this, okay? Oh man.
Not sure you thought this through, buddy.
I mean What're we doing here, Charlie? This is not a good plan.
I had to.
You broke out, Charlie.
Okay? The cops are chasing you.
I had to! Okay, listen to me, listen to me.
You're only making this worse for yourself.
Okay? It's gotta be easier Team one, just got a 911 call from Kevin Baines' phone.
The line's open, but I can barely hear anything.
Covert call.
Kevin's in trouble.
You gotta hear me on this, you're being rash.
Talk to you.
Okay, okay.
Don, Charlie's assault, did he intend to hurt that kid? Look, am I being arrested here or what? Answer the question.
No.
He barely knew him.
It was It was just some kid who didn't know when to shut his mouth.
He provoked Charlie.
Yeah, that's right.
Take me through it, don.
Through what? I gave my statement a thousand times.
You should have no problem getting up for one more.
It was late.
We, uh We'd lost a game that day.
We were just trying to forget about it, blow off some steam.
Charlie'd come back from rehab maybe a month before.
Hey! Hey, Charlie.
He was totally different.
It was hard to see him like that.
Tough game.
Yeah, it was a tough loss.
We really missed you out there.
Kevin was good.
He tried to keep Charlie in the fold.
But I'll be honest, I never knew how to act around him.
But you, um You, um You You, you, you, you You Ignore him, Charlie.
Yeah, listen to your quarterback.
Hey, why don't you do us a favour, Columbine, and shut your mouth.
We're gonna go, Kev.
Call you tonight? Yeah.
Nice job, freak dog.
Real smooth.
Uh, wait up.
Way to kill a party.
You're such a loser! Freak.
Freak! Look at you! Learn to talk! Hey, just stop.
Look at me! Hey! Let it go! Get your freak ass back to rehab, dogface Just let it go.
Next thing I know we hear shouting.
I ran back but it was already over.
Cracked the kid's skull wide open.
There they are.
Let's use the stands for cover.
So you didn't actually see Charlie beat that kid.
Like I said, by the time I ran back It was over, right.
So, in fact, the whole thing could've gone down some other way.
You wouldn't know.
Charlie confessed.
Kevin agreed! The cops, the judges, they all agreed, man.
And you? Don, two of your friends are in a world of trouble right now.
If you know anything that might help, now is the time.
Okay, look, I stand by everything I said, all right? But you step into a thing like that, you get a feeling, like Like a flash.
There was something in their eyes, a look.
Something between them.
A secret.
I don't know.
Don, are you saying Kevin could've been the one? Those are your words.
But it's crossed your mind.
I don't know.
It It was a feeling.
It was a feeling, that's all.
This lines up, Sam.
I think this is what Charlie was trying to say.
It was Kevin who pushed that kid and he made a choice to take the fall for Kevin.
Don, you think Charlie would've taken the fall for Kevin, wear that for him all these years? I mean, Kevin was your leader, your best friend.
You looked up to him.
And Charlie? Charlie just wanted to be on the team again.
Okay, team, we gotta treat this as a real possibility.
Charlie might've confessed to protect his friend Until he can't take it anymore.
He tells Kevin to come clean.
That's when Kevin tells him "sorry, buddy, I can't help you, I'm moving on.
" Then he busts out to make one last appeal.
Charlie? No! I need you to stay calm.
Don't come near! Charlie, listen to him! Charlie! Okay Okay, okay.
Whoa.
Just let me go! Keep away! Okay Talk to them! Or what, Charlie? I do What I have to.
Eddie, he points that gun I know.
I got the solution.
Charlie? My name's Greg Parker.
I'm gonna cut to the chase, buddy, 'cause I know you deserve the truth and you're smart enough to handle it.
But if you point that gun, my team will have no choice but to shoot you.
Sam, they move, I lose my line of fire.
Cross me, north angle.
Copy.
Spike, I need ears in there.
Raf, cover him.
Copy.
You here with me, buddy? Charlie, I need to see you put that gun down.
I'm Not going back! Charlie, they will shoot you, okay? They will shoot you where you stand.
Kevin, please, I just need to talk to Charlie right now.
Will you let me do that? So talk! Make him understand! He threatened my family! He waved a gun in front of my son! Kevin, please.
Look, Charlie, what you want from me, I can't give you.
No! Look, it's too late.
It's to late, okay? I wish that weren't the case.
Spike, status.
Here it comes.
No - We - My son, my wife, you're asking me to throw that away.
- It's time! - Time to what? To throw away three healthy lives for one broken one? No! Stop! You you I the It's time! You promised! Okay, okay, okay, just calm down.
Eddie, Charlie doesn't wanna hear us right now, but he needs a voice.
You want me to take this? Yeah, I want you to talk to Kevin, leader to leader.
He was their quarterback, so tap into that.
Copy.
Sam? I have the solution.
Charlie Alanak, my name's Ed Lane.
I need to speak to Kevin.
Is that all right? He's the one with the gun, okay? Just get me outta here! Kevin, we all want that.
We just gotta work together here, okay? All that I've done for him and he He threatens my family, drags me here at gunpoint.
I stood by him like a brother! I know that, Kevin.
You've been good to Charlie.
Everyone wrote him off, but not me.
Tell him! Our own coach turned against him.
Told me he was a distraction, told me to move on.
You know what I told him? You remember, Charlie? I told him I'd quit the team if your name came off your locker.
- Didn't I? Didn't I? - Tell him.
Yes.
Tell him.
Okay, Kevin, I get it.
You stood up for Charlie.
That's what happened in the stands that night; somebody came at him, you defended him.
You were the team leader, Kevin, you had his back, he was your friend.
Only this time something went wrong, and suddenly your whole world is in the balance, your career, your scholarship, all of it.
No, no, no, you got that wrong, okay? Charlie saw that, he knew what was at stake.
He saw your future, his And he made a choice and he took the hit.
No, look, if he's saying that, he's lying.
Mm-mm! It's your word against mine! I didn't! Kevin, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Charlie never said anything.
All these years, he kept quiet.
Think about what that cost him.
Charlie, tell him why you did it.
You're my friend.
He's your friend.
It's as simple as that; He's your friend.
Kevin, you know Charlie better than anybody else.
You stood on the field with him, you grew up together.
Charlie knows what it is to be a friend.
He proved it.
For five years, Kevin, he proved it.
It's your turn.
He deserves to live a life.
He deserves to be able to have the same hopes and dreams as the rest of us, Kevin.
To be able to hold his head up to the world.
Now you gotta give him that chance.
Please.
I Wasn't supposed to be like this, Charlie.
So many times I wanted to make it right and then I I look at my wife, my son, and I I'm sorry, Charlie.
I'm so, so sorry.
I know, but that's not what I need.
I did it.
I pushed that kid.
I killed him.
If there's anything else, I'll let you know.
Hey.
Oh Thank you.
For the words.
You're welcome, Charlie.
Everybody says they're sorry I love you.
I love you.
'Cause nobody knows the story the recipe of life Today's not gonna win him any points with the authorities.
No, no.
But he was innocent, and he showed a strong moral code and that counts for a lot.
I'll talk to Lavery.
Maybe a criminal institution isn't the best place for him.
Change of environment? It's gonna make a world of difference.
Be nice to get someone out of prison for a change.
Hey.
Hey, that was good work.
And, uh, thanks for letting me know about Spike.
I'm gonna talk to him.
No, you're not.
You're gonna go home, you're gonna put your feet up.
Buddy, you got too much on your plate.
Let me help you out here.
Eddie, you're worrying about me.
You don't need to worry.
You know why? You used to say that when you had a date with a bottle of scotch.
So go home.
I'll file the report.
I'll take that as a yes.
Go on.
Okay.
Thanks, Eddie.
They say oh-oh whose side are you on? Hey, yeah, this is Mike Scarlatti.
Yeah, I'm calling about the wine kit.
I got it right here, so I just gotta What're you doing? Hey, sorry to interrupt.
This is Edward Lane.
I'm Mr.
Scarlatti's wine representative.
I'm sorry to tell you that we got a better offer, so, uh, thank you, and you have a great day.
Done.
Just like that.
We were thinking maybe you shouldn't sell this stuff, Spike.
You don't wanna waste it on a guy who won't appreciate it.
Buddy, come on, we can figure out how to make a couple bottles of this stuff.
It's gonna be great.
Are you serious? I'm more of a beer guy, myself.
Christmas presents, Sam.
- Mm-hm.
- Right? I'll catch up with you guys.
All right.
It can be the strangest things sometimes.
Like I see red roses, and I see the rose and I see his face again.
Triggers.
Triggers can be anything.
It could take a long time, but that is normal.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
I've asked for forgiveness I try being right I've lied wide awake under the weight of the night my heartache grows harder till you decide it's time Parmesan.
There you are.
If anybody says they're sorry could you easy up their way nobody wants their story tell them they're okay
I'm calling you about Charlie Alanak.
He escaped from his facility today.
You think he's coming here? Okay, team, subject is violent and unpredictable, so tread careful.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Charlie! Ungh! Agghhhhh! Ungh! Morning, Charlie.
How are you? The same? Shall we ask Dr.
Lavery to adjust your meds? Charlie, talk.
You have to talk.
It's not Pills That I need.
It's okay.
What do you need? Oh I'm sorry, Charlie.
I wish I could.
It's all in boxes, up to here.
My mom and I are eating out of paper plates.
You guys lived there for a long time, right? and I got six days to clear it before the open house.
Craigslist, where priceless family heirlooms go to die.
So tell me, your dad's wine, is that stuff any good or what? Terrible.
But, you know, every year like the house would smell like wine juice and like yeast, and my dad'd be going down there in the basement like every 20 minutes- Spike.
- Hey.
Boss.
- Come on, let's go.
It's late.
A lot to cover.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, Charlie.
Get out of my face, Alanak! Hey, Nestor! Stop it! I'll kill you! Guards! Get him! - Nurse! - Charlie? Get back! Hey! Hey! Nestor, step back! - Charlie? - - Take it easy! Meadowview Institute, Subject's got a knife, one injured.
The name is Nestor Prejean.
I'm forwarding you his records.
Assault.
Assault with a deadly.
Assault with intent.
Attempted murder.
Can't the guards get it under control? They're unarmed, like a prison.
Winnie, I need to speak with the doctor in charge.
I'll get him on the line.
Boss, turn your comm off.
You all right? - Yeah.
- Did you see Spike when he came in today? Yeah.
Mom's moving back to Italy, selling the house.
He's on his own for the first time in his life.
Did you hear that? How'd I miss that? That's my point, Greg.
I mean, usually you don't.
So I ask you again, you all right? No.
It's just It's some stuff at home, Eddie.
Is it Marina? I love having her in my life, I do.
But everything she's been through, she needs a lotta support and she deserves it.
She deserves it.
She deserves someone there, someone to listen.
But sometimes I come home from work, and there she is and I'm burned out.
I'm on empty, I just Boss, I'm patching through Meadowview's chief physician Turn your comm on.
It's your call.
Dr.
Lavery, hey, it's Sergeant Parker.
What're we looking at here? This patient's highly volatile.
He stabbed a fellow patient and now he's got a security guard trapped.
Okay, we've got Nestor's record.
What can you tell me about his condition? He's schizoaffective.
And he's been known to resist his meds, which leads to paranoia, hallucination, anger, and right now he's showing all the signs of a full-scale psychotic break.
Okay, doctor, just keep your staff out of range.
We're almost there.
He'll see anything we do as a threat.
He's gonna see our arrival as a threat.
Boss, we got a talk-down option on this? Not a chance, Eddie, not with his condition.
Okay, team, we're skipping the talk, going straight to tac.
We're gonna surf him.
Raf, Sam, less-lethal.
Spike, prep the sonic shield as a distraction.
Copy that.
Gear protection as soon as we're inside.
Thanks, Sam.
Doctor Lavery? Yes, this way, down the stairs.
Sir, we need to clear this area out now.
We're in lockdown.
Everybody's being moved to their cells.
Guys, let's move.
Cut him! If you don't, stab him.
Spike, on my go.
You ready? Yeah.
Go! Police! Right there! SRU! SRU! Drop the weapon! Drop it! Sam, you got him? You're okay, you're okay.
You're gonna be okay.
Subject secure.
Eddie, we've got a problem.
Right there.
That's one of our nurses, Lorraine Manley.
Where's the security guard? Who's that? Charlie Alanak, the patient Nestor attacked.
He's supposed to be in the infirmary.
He got out.
Team one, new deal! Winnie, let's get an apb on the nurse's car.
It was seen leaving the parking lot.
I'm gonna need Charlie Alanak's file - everything you have on him, starting from where he's from.
Boss, I'm gonna review the incident, see what I can read.
That's good, Spike.
Do that.
Here's session notes, and there's more on the computer.
'Kay, team, I'm gonna feed you on the fly here.
Charlie's a local, lived in the city his whole life.
He's gonna head towards what he knows.
There are two main routes into town from here.
Sam, head east.
We're west on the 407.
Let's go.
Copy that.
Most of the patients here have been diagnosed with mental illnesses, but Charlie's story is different.
He suffered a frontal lobe injury at 19.
His football helmet came off during a game, just before he got hit.
The football injury also caused a minor stroke triggering a form of aphasia.
Aphasia.
That's a language disorder, right? That's right.
It's hard for him to find words, put them in order.
What about logic and foresight? Cognitively he's pretty high functioning.
Frontal lobe damage can mean a lot of things.
For Charlie, it's impulse-control, mood swings, bouts of violent aggression.
And that's why he's here.
A year after his injury he was involved in a fight, killed a young man.
- Murder.
- No.
Manslaughter.
He pled diminished capacity, but I don't see a police report.
Okay, Winnie, contact the arresting officer.
We need more on this.
- Copy.
- - I can tell you that Charlie's pattern of aggression continued once he got here.
There were regular altercations with the patients, and recently these outbursts have been getting more frequent, and more violent.
Boss, you're gonna wanna take a look at this.
Be right there, Spike.
What do you have, Spike? Well, he's definitely high-functioning.
Watch.
Charlie approaches Nestor, tries to provoke him And then Nestor stabs him.
That's what the witnesses have described.
Except that's not what happened.
Charlie cut himself? To get to the infirmary.
Grabs a hostage with car keys.
All eyes on Nestor, he makes his move.
Team one, listen up, this may be a premeditated escape.
Charlie may be working out a plan here, and we've gotta find him before something triggers him and he loses control.
Where're we going, Charlie? This Used to be all F-fields.
Yeah.
Yeah, they started building two years ago.
Up here.
Left.
Don't.
No.
Charlie, you know they're gonna come after you, right? No.
I've, I've I-I've got You've got your freedom? Yeah, I know.
You do now, Charlie, but what happens next? Hmm? I stay that way.
Stop at gas station.
I don't have money, Charlie.
I left my purse.
No answer on Manley's phone.
Boss, I've got Officer Carlyle.
He was first on scene when Charlie was arrested.
Okay, patch him through, Winnie.
It's Carlyle here.
You're looking for background on a Charlie Alanak? Hey, officer.
The subject's at large, but our profile's a little spotty.
Hoping you can shed some light on his crime.
Yeah, of course.
A call came in late, Kempton campus.
Victim was 19, 20, same age as Alanak.
There was a verbal exchange and some taunting.
They fought.
Alanak pushed the kid off the football stands.
He hit his head and he died.
Schoolyard brawl, two lives changed forever.
Alanak confessed.
Witnesses corroborated.
Case closed.
You know if he and the victim had a history? No.
No indication of that.
By all accounts he just snapped.
I will tell you what I remember the most, sergeant.
What's that? That look in his eye.
There's kids crying, there's a body lying on the ground, blood everywhere And Alanak? Dead calm.
Okay.
Thanks, officer.
Thanks for your time.
Boss, just got a hit on the plate.
Toll camera picked them up leaving the 407 at Bayview.
Raf, next exit.
Sam, we're close.
Come west, we'll flank him.
Copy that.
On my way.
Ed, I'm mobile, headed South.
Copy that.
Okay, team, second time today, subject is violent and unpredictable, so tread careful.
Hey, bud, it's pre-pay! I don't Gotta come inside and pay.
No.
Cash.
Oh, you're looking for the free gas station.
Sorry, it's about a half mile down the block.
Sir? Give him gas, please.
I can pay you back later.
I work just up the road.
Please.
Tell you what, why don't I call my manager.
Maybe we can figure something out.
No.
Stay! I'm just gonna make a quick call.
This is an emergency! I need gas! It's okay, Charlie! No-no-no! Charlie, no! No, Charlie, no, no! Back off! Boss, I got a live 9-1-1 call.
It's Lorraine Manley.
Get here fast.
They're fighting.
Lorraine, where are you? - True Value gas.
- Got it! True Value gas.
Langstaff and Bayview.
We're a minute away.
Charlie, please let go of him! Let him go! Lorraine, you listen to me.
You get distance and you stay covered, all right? You have to let go! Let go of the gun! Lorraine? No! Don't! Eddie, shots fired.
Extreme caution! You're gonna be fine.
Everything will be fine.
Just relax.
- SRU! - Where's Charlie? He's not here, he's gone.
They were fighting and the gun went off.
He panicked.
Boss, we missed him.
Officer He took the gun.
I never imagined he'd do something like this.
I tried to talk to him, he wouldn't listen.
I'm sure it wasn't your fault.
Winnie, let's get Charlie's photo and description.
Full media alert, he's armed and dangerous.
Will do.
- Team.
- Go, boss.
Charlie's on a cocktail of meds, lithium, methylphenidate It goes on.
Mood stabilizers.
Yeah, and the longer he goes without 'em The worse our day's gonna get.
Doctor, I need a list of Charlie's friends and family, anyone who so much as sent him a get-well card.
- I'll get the visitor log.
- Thank you.
Okay, Eddie, I can tell you this, no brothers or sisters.
His father died when he was young.
Just a mom, Katia Alanak.
Okay, boss, on our way.
- Sam - We'll finish up here.
Spike, you're with me.
Let's move.
Charlie, I wanna talk about you understanding your actions.
Talking Doesn't help.
I'm still Trapped.
I'm still trapped here! Yes, Charlie, you are.
You are here, but you need to I printed off the names of all the visitors.
There's twelve in total.
Pretty standard pattern.
Regular visits in the first couple months, classmates, friends, and then they taper off.
Most of the names on this list haven't been here in a couple of years.
Once they realize conditions like Charlie's is a lifetime's work People move on.
Okay, team, I'm sending you a list of 12 names.
Let's cross 'em off.
Boss, any old teammates on that list? Coaches? Trainers? What're you thinking, Spike? Well, Charlie used to play football, right? Those can be strong bonds.
That's better.
Doctor? Any of these football buddies? Yeah.
Don Colby and Kevin Baines.
They were on his university team.
Let's start there.
Don Colby, Kevin Baines.
We'll send unis to cover the rest.
Thanks.
No answer at Don Colby's.
I'm heading over there.
Okay, I'll try Kevin Baines.
I'll catch up with you when I'm done.
- Hello.
- - Kevin Baines? Yes.
This is Sam Braddock from the Police Strategic Response Unit.
I'm calling you about Charlie Alanak.
He escaped from his facility today.
You think he's coming here? This is just a precautionary call, sir, I don't wanna alarm you, but I have to tell you Charlie's considered armed and dangerous.
Armed? So if he tries to make contact with you in any way, call the police immediately, okay? Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I will.
Thanks for the call.
Oh gee Guess who? Uh is it Lady Gaga? No! Oh, it's Nicky! You all right? Yeah, yeah.
Hey, the moving trucks don't get here for a bit.
You wanna get outta this mess.
Sure.
That'd be great.
- Okay.
- I'll go get the stuff.
Police! Open up, please! Hey! Stop! Right there! Don Colby? Yeah.
What's this all about? What're you running for, don? Oh, let me guess.
It's medical, right, and you're just filling out the paperwork? Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, well, I'm here because a patient escaped from Meadowview complex today.
We need to know if he's contacted you.
Charlie Alanak.
Wait.
Charlie busted out? You haven't heard from him? No.
No.
Not for a couple years.
Doctor, Charlie's crime, I can't find a sentence.
That's because Meadowview isn't a prison.
Sentences aren't preset.
When Charlie arrived, we had reason to believe he'd only be with us a couple years.
What happened? Well, we can't start the release process until we're absolutely sure he doesn't pose a danger.
Based on today, he's got a ways to go.
Here, let me show you something.
Katia Alanak? Yes? Hi.
Officer Lane.
This is Officer Scarlatti.
We were hoping you could help us.
Of course.
Have you seen your son today? I think there's been a mistake.
My son's in a facility.
Your son escaped from Meadowview, ma'am.
Dr.
Lavery; How did it start, Charlie? I didn't start it! Well, it takes two to fight, Charlie, and when you respond impulsively, that's where the trouble starts.
That's what got you here in the first place, remember? No.
Yes, Charlie, and you know it.
You lost control that night and a young man died.
I made a choice.
What're you saying, Charlie? I had to.
Had to kill him? Answer me, Charlie.
Are you saying you did it on purpose? No more.
That was two months ago.
It's a discouraging change from someone who showed remorse about a moment of impulse, to this, unfeeling, combative, confused about his own state of mind.
Man on a fast-track out of here.
A week ago it got worse.
Charlie shut down altogether.
No change in his health? His meds? No, not at all.
You know what I remember most about when Charlie was healthy? What's that, Mrs.
Alanak? The noise.
The boys and the commotion.
After the accident, life just got so quiet.
It was easier for him not to talk.
It was embarrassing.
Charlie's friends stopped coming by after that? Kevin didn't.
Even when Charlie was in trouble, Kevin was there.
His family found us a lawyer, and helped pay for the legal costs.
I don't know what Charlie would do without him.
What do you mean by that? Kevin took a job out west.
- He's leaving? - Mm-hm.
Mrs.
Alanak, when is he leaving? I wrote it down.
Today.
Boss, we got something here.
Yeah, go ahead, Eddie.
Charlie's closest friend is Kevin Baines.
Yeah, he's in the logs.
He visits regularly.
Yeah, well, not any more.
He's moving away, today.
So, loss of a best friend; That's a huge blow.
Especially for someone in Charlie's position.
Okay, Eddie, you stay with the mom, I'm on it.
Suz, let's go.
Just a second.
Charlie.
Man, look at you.
Are you all right? Um um I got got Escaped.
I know, Charlie.
The police are after you.
Mm-mm.
Uh I need Look, this isn't a good place for you to be, buddy.
Okay? They already called here.
Tell you what.
Why don't you go to my cottage, okay? Do you have some way of getting around? No.
Kevin You can't abandon me.
Look, I I, uh Charlie, I don't know what to say.
I'm sorry, okay? We fly tonight.
You said You sa Stick by me! - And I will, Charlie - You promised! All shoed up? - Wait, Suz.
- Let's hit the road.
Um Suz, I told you about my old friend.
Charlie Alanak.
Hi.
- Don't.
- I gotta take this, Charlie.
It's police.
Now, we've got a thousand things going on.
I'm gonna answer my phone, okay? Whoa, whoa, Charlie! Charlie! Don't answer! Don't answer! Okay, look, Charlie, just let them go inside, okay? - No.
- Charlie, you're scaring my family.
Okay, you're scaring my boy.
Okay Then we drive! Okay, we can do that.
Just me and you, the two of us.
To Robbie.
Robbie? You think that's a good idea, Charlie? - Okay! - Now! Okay.
Go inside.
Honey, go inside.
We're going, okay? We're going.
Boss, 911 call from the Baines house.
Charlie was there.
Officer's on his way and I got Suzanne Baines on the line.
Suzanne, hi.
My name is Sergeant Greg Parker.
He took Kevin.
He has a gun.
A police officer is heading to you now, ma'am.
You're safe.
His name's Charlie Alanak.
Kevin knows him from school.
Okay, okay.
Do you know where they were going? No.
Well, yes To see someone Someone named Robbie.
Do you know who that is? No idea.
Why did he come here? I'm trying to figure that out, ma'am.
But help's on its way, okay? You just stay inside.
Okay.
Mrs.
Alanak, does Charlie know somebody named Robbie? Robbie's not a person.
Boss, Tom Robbarts field.
Kempton University.
The scene of the crime.
- Let's move.
- Mr.
Lane? - Please.
- Ma'am, we're gonna do everything we can.
I promise you that.
Okay, team, why does he go back to ground zero? Maybe he wants to face his ghosts.
Some kind of atonement.
Charlie's assault, he snapped, pushed that kid to his death, it was an impulse.
Charlie talked about making a choice that day There's something we're missing here.
Hey, boss, I'm here with Raf now.
The police report said that don witnessed it.
Okay, bring him, Sam.
We need to get inside this thing.
Need all the help we can get.
Okay, copy that.
Don, we're gonna need your help on this, okay? Oh man.
Not sure you thought this through, buddy.
I mean What're we doing here, Charlie? This is not a good plan.
I had to.
You broke out, Charlie.
Okay? The cops are chasing you.
I had to! Okay, listen to me, listen to me.
You're only making this worse for yourself.
Okay? It's gotta be easier Team one, just got a 911 call from Kevin Baines' phone.
The line's open, but I can barely hear anything.
Covert call.
Kevin's in trouble.
You gotta hear me on this, you're being rash.
Talk to you.
Okay, okay.
Don, Charlie's assault, did he intend to hurt that kid? Look, am I being arrested here or what? Answer the question.
No.
He barely knew him.
It was It was just some kid who didn't know when to shut his mouth.
He provoked Charlie.
Yeah, that's right.
Take me through it, don.
Through what? I gave my statement a thousand times.
You should have no problem getting up for one more.
It was late.
We, uh We'd lost a game that day.
We were just trying to forget about it, blow off some steam.
Charlie'd come back from rehab maybe a month before.
Hey! Hey, Charlie.
He was totally different.
It was hard to see him like that.
Tough game.
Yeah, it was a tough loss.
We really missed you out there.
Kevin was good.
He tried to keep Charlie in the fold.
But I'll be honest, I never knew how to act around him.
But you, um You, um You You, you, you, you You Ignore him, Charlie.
Yeah, listen to your quarterback.
Hey, why don't you do us a favour, Columbine, and shut your mouth.
We're gonna go, Kev.
Call you tonight? Yeah.
Nice job, freak dog.
Real smooth.
Uh, wait up.
Way to kill a party.
You're such a loser! Freak.
Freak! Look at you! Learn to talk! Hey, just stop.
Look at me! Hey! Let it go! Get your freak ass back to rehab, dogface Just let it go.
Next thing I know we hear shouting.
I ran back but it was already over.
Cracked the kid's skull wide open.
There they are.
Let's use the stands for cover.
So you didn't actually see Charlie beat that kid.
Like I said, by the time I ran back It was over, right.
So, in fact, the whole thing could've gone down some other way.
You wouldn't know.
Charlie confessed.
Kevin agreed! The cops, the judges, they all agreed, man.
And you? Don, two of your friends are in a world of trouble right now.
If you know anything that might help, now is the time.
Okay, look, I stand by everything I said, all right? But you step into a thing like that, you get a feeling, like Like a flash.
There was something in their eyes, a look.
Something between them.
A secret.
I don't know.
Don, are you saying Kevin could've been the one? Those are your words.
But it's crossed your mind.
I don't know.
It It was a feeling.
It was a feeling, that's all.
This lines up, Sam.
I think this is what Charlie was trying to say.
It was Kevin who pushed that kid and he made a choice to take the fall for Kevin.
Don, you think Charlie would've taken the fall for Kevin, wear that for him all these years? I mean, Kevin was your leader, your best friend.
You looked up to him.
And Charlie? Charlie just wanted to be on the team again.
Okay, team, we gotta treat this as a real possibility.
Charlie might've confessed to protect his friend Until he can't take it anymore.
He tells Kevin to come clean.
That's when Kevin tells him "sorry, buddy, I can't help you, I'm moving on.
" Then he busts out to make one last appeal.
Charlie? No! I need you to stay calm.
Don't come near! Charlie, listen to him! Charlie! Okay Okay, okay.
Whoa.
Just let me go! Keep away! Okay Talk to them! Or what, Charlie? I do What I have to.
Eddie, he points that gun I know.
I got the solution.
Charlie? My name's Greg Parker.
I'm gonna cut to the chase, buddy, 'cause I know you deserve the truth and you're smart enough to handle it.
But if you point that gun, my team will have no choice but to shoot you.
Sam, they move, I lose my line of fire.
Cross me, north angle.
Copy.
Spike, I need ears in there.
Raf, cover him.
Copy.
You here with me, buddy? Charlie, I need to see you put that gun down.
I'm Not going back! Charlie, they will shoot you, okay? They will shoot you where you stand.
Kevin, please, I just need to talk to Charlie right now.
Will you let me do that? So talk! Make him understand! He threatened my family! He waved a gun in front of my son! Kevin, please.
Look, Charlie, what you want from me, I can't give you.
No! Look, it's too late.
It's to late, okay? I wish that weren't the case.
Spike, status.
Here it comes.
No - We - My son, my wife, you're asking me to throw that away.
- It's time! - Time to what? To throw away three healthy lives for one broken one? No! Stop! You you I the It's time! You promised! Okay, okay, okay, just calm down.
Eddie, Charlie doesn't wanna hear us right now, but he needs a voice.
You want me to take this? Yeah, I want you to talk to Kevin, leader to leader.
He was their quarterback, so tap into that.
Copy.
Sam? I have the solution.
Charlie Alanak, my name's Ed Lane.
I need to speak to Kevin.
Is that all right? He's the one with the gun, okay? Just get me outta here! Kevin, we all want that.
We just gotta work together here, okay? All that I've done for him and he He threatens my family, drags me here at gunpoint.
I stood by him like a brother! I know that, Kevin.
You've been good to Charlie.
Everyone wrote him off, but not me.
Tell him! Our own coach turned against him.
Told me he was a distraction, told me to move on.
You know what I told him? You remember, Charlie? I told him I'd quit the team if your name came off your locker.
- Didn't I? Didn't I? - Tell him.
Yes.
Tell him.
Okay, Kevin, I get it.
You stood up for Charlie.
That's what happened in the stands that night; somebody came at him, you defended him.
You were the team leader, Kevin, you had his back, he was your friend.
Only this time something went wrong, and suddenly your whole world is in the balance, your career, your scholarship, all of it.
No, no, no, you got that wrong, okay? Charlie saw that, he knew what was at stake.
He saw your future, his And he made a choice and he took the hit.
No, look, if he's saying that, he's lying.
Mm-mm! It's your word against mine! I didn't! Kevin, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Charlie never said anything.
All these years, he kept quiet.
Think about what that cost him.
Charlie, tell him why you did it.
You're my friend.
He's your friend.
It's as simple as that; He's your friend.
Kevin, you know Charlie better than anybody else.
You stood on the field with him, you grew up together.
Charlie knows what it is to be a friend.
He proved it.
For five years, Kevin, he proved it.
It's your turn.
He deserves to live a life.
He deserves to be able to have the same hopes and dreams as the rest of us, Kevin.
To be able to hold his head up to the world.
Now you gotta give him that chance.
Please.
I Wasn't supposed to be like this, Charlie.
So many times I wanted to make it right and then I I look at my wife, my son, and I I'm sorry, Charlie.
I'm so, so sorry.
I know, but that's not what I need.
I did it.
I pushed that kid.
I killed him.
If there's anything else, I'll let you know.
Hey.
Oh Thank you.
For the words.
You're welcome, Charlie.
Everybody says they're sorry I love you.
I love you.
'Cause nobody knows the story the recipe of life Today's not gonna win him any points with the authorities.
No, no.
But he was innocent, and he showed a strong moral code and that counts for a lot.
I'll talk to Lavery.
Maybe a criminal institution isn't the best place for him.
Change of environment? It's gonna make a world of difference.
Be nice to get someone out of prison for a change.
Hey.
Hey, that was good work.
And, uh, thanks for letting me know about Spike.
I'm gonna talk to him.
No, you're not.
You're gonna go home, you're gonna put your feet up.
Buddy, you got too much on your plate.
Let me help you out here.
Eddie, you're worrying about me.
You don't need to worry.
You know why? You used to say that when you had a date with a bottle of scotch.
So go home.
I'll file the report.
I'll take that as a yes.
Go on.
Okay.
Thanks, Eddie.
They say oh-oh whose side are you on? Hey, yeah, this is Mike Scarlatti.
Yeah, I'm calling about the wine kit.
I got it right here, so I just gotta What're you doing? Hey, sorry to interrupt.
This is Edward Lane.
I'm Mr.
Scarlatti's wine representative.
I'm sorry to tell you that we got a better offer, so, uh, thank you, and you have a great day.
Done.
Just like that.
We were thinking maybe you shouldn't sell this stuff, Spike.
You don't wanna waste it on a guy who won't appreciate it.
Buddy, come on, we can figure out how to make a couple bottles of this stuff.
It's gonna be great.
Are you serious? I'm more of a beer guy, myself.
Christmas presents, Sam.
- Mm-hm.
- Right? I'll catch up with you guys.
All right.
It can be the strangest things sometimes.
