Original subtitles

Our first guest, Patty Hearst, the victim of the most bizarre kidnapping

in American history.

Carried, kicking and screaming from her California apartment, shoved into the

trunk of a car and fed off into the night.

Four months later, she stunned the world with the announcement that she joined

her captors. She became a gun -toting revolutionary and was branded a common

criminal. Less than 30 minutes ago, we arrested Patty Hearst at 625... Four

counts of robbery.

Five pounds of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to murder.

Authorities said they found 10 automatic weapons in the Hearst apartment.

How in the world does the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst become a

terrorist?

The Seminese Liberation Army kidnapped someone from American nobility.

It's a story that is violent.

I was kidnapped by terrorists, brutalized by them, a threat constantly

you'll be killed if you don't cooperate. It finally breaks you down.

My name is William Taylor Harris.

Ask me a question.

Did you kidnap Patty Hearst?

I personally took Patty Hearst out of her apartment and put her into a getaway

car.

Reality isn't always on the surface, you know.

Sometimes you have to look a little bit deeper to see what's real.

Is she America's most famous crime victim?

Or is she the most famous rich turncoat in American history?

The granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst was abducted by two men and a

in a bizarre kidnapping.

No ransom note, no phone calls, no word, nothing.

The SLA is the people's army and we fight in their interest.

The FBI said the girl in the wig with the automatic rifle was Patricia Hearst.

Rich college girl turned armed terrorist in a matter of weeks.

Southern California's largest manhunt continues.

For someone my age, I've been through an awful lot.

We don't know where she is.

Mom, Dad, I'm okay.

Looking at it 40 or 45 years later, however long it's been, it wasn't a

story.

When somebody you love is close to you is kidnapped, it's a particular

kind of torture that it's very hard to understand unless it's actually happened

to you. She did change. And it wasn't too many months before I realized that

weren't getting back together.

Everything was crushed. It was gone. It was done.

But I'm just trying to try, you know, if it was a documentary and you want the

history. You want to know what it was like before the kidnapping. That's my

answer.

1972,

I went to work at Crystal Springs teaching math and geometry. It was a

private girl's school, and she came to some guitar classes I was giving.

I don't think she really was interested in learning the guitar. She just wanted

to... hang out with one of the older teachers.

That was the first introduction, and then she would find ways to talk to me,

then finally one day she just showed up at my house for some math tutoring, and

that became a constant thing eventually.

Patty and Steve have always said that their romance began when Steve was 23

she was 16.

By my accounting, It may well have been she was 15, but as both Steve and Patty

have subsequently said, it was Patty who targeted Steve for romance first, not

the other way around.

I never would have initiated something like that, but I was receptive over

She knew what she wanted, and she just went for it, and she was kind of

fearless, actually.

Patty was just 18 years old when she decided to move in with Steve Weed, and

they got a nice little apartment very near the campus of Berkeley.

Her father was pretty easygoing about it. How are you going to shack up with

daughter?

Well, you just treat her nicely. The mother was very unhappy about it, but

didn't show it. Her breeding was to be polite, and she was, and I appreciated

it. In the 1970s, Randy Hurst... title was publisher of the San Francisco

Examiner. He would come into the office, although not be there necessarily every

day. He would be working at the paper, and then he'd say, well, tomorrow I'm

going to go duck hunting, just reminding us inadvertently that he led a very

different kind of life than the rest of us did.

The name Hearst really meant something in America. It was really synonymous

big corporations, big media, and outstanding, over -the -top wealth.

To the extent that California held up any family as royalty, you'd have to say

it was the Hearst. And, you know, that made Patty in her own small little way a

princess.

Patty's grandfather, William Randolph Hearst, owned dozens of newspapers.

And he didn't just own them, he used them for political and economic power.

Hearst was a larger -than -life figure. He was more than a businessman. He was a

celebrity before there were celebrities.

Orson Welles wrote and directed Citizen Kane as the life story of William

Randolph Hearst.

Randy and Catherine Hearst lived with their five daughters in Hillsborough, a

very wealthy, beautiful community on the peninsula.

Randy treated Patty, of his five daughters, the most like a son, because

tough.

He channeled it on the outings that they went on together.

They went hiking. They went fishing. They went hunting. And he taught her to

shoot.

Her relationship to her mother was a lot more problematic.

Catherine was, she was a southern belle.

She was a woman that had come from Georgia, swept off her feet by the

cosmopolitan Hearst air.

I wouldn't call her snobby, but she had an upper class kind of attitude.

Her mother.

wanted Patty to do well in school, come out in society, go to college, but

basically lead her mother's life.

She was in rebellion against some of the strictures that her mother in

particular imposed on her, like convent schools.

She loathed convent schools, and she got thrown out of several of them.

She wanted independence.

She really wanted to become an adult, was really what it was.

I was just a college student at Berkeley, and I was living with my

You know, I was just like a dumb 19 -year -old, that's about it.

We lived in a two -story townhouse.

There was...

Still kind of a dicey street scene in Berkeley.

Petty crime.

It was fairly rampant.

I think three days before the kidnapping, a couple showed up at night

little bit sketchy, asking about rentals.

It didn't seem right.

In retrospect, obviously, they were checking us out. But at the time, we

dismissed it as another, you know, random Berkeley kind of thing.

But we weren't at all paranoid.

We just finished having dinner, watching a TV show, and getting ready to study,

and there was a knock on the door. There was a woman at the front door.

There was a person standing there, and I had moved into the kitchen. And what I

could hear was that they thought they'd hit a car downstairs, they said, and

could they use the phone?

And then with that, people just burst into the apartment.

It couldn't have been three or four seconds before two men pushed through

front door.

They pushed me back, shouting, get your face on the floor, get your face on the

floor. Your mind's come trying to grips with, what is this? What's going on?

They started kicking me and hitting me.

There was just a gun in my face, and I was pushed down to the kitchen floor.

I was tied up and gagged and blindfolded, and I bit down on the gag

had just assumed that they were going to burglarize the apartment.

At about that point, they started demanding, where's the safe, where's the

money? I was trying to figure out what was happening, and the natural

is that it was a robbery.

I could hear Patty whimpering in the other room.

I said, we don't have a safe.

Take anything you want, just leave us alone.

Every time I'd look up, they'd kick me in the face.

I do remember the woman saying, they've seen our faces, we have to get rid of

them.

We had this $1 bottle of romance wine.

And they grabbed one and started hitting me on the head with it really hard.

And even if he's not trying to kill me, he's going to. He's going to bash my

head. It's like they're going to kill us.

By this time, my eyes were full of blood. I couldn't really see.

I lurched up.

Instead of running out the front door, I just went running around the living

room, yelling at the top of my lungs, knocking over furniture, knocking over

plants,

just banging into things, just hoping the distraction would drive them away.

I opened the door, went out on the back patio.

jumped over the fence, started banging on the neighbor's door.

Even in my state of delirium, I could tell that they weren't going to answer

door. I could realize I was terrifying somebody inside.

I assumed it was a robbery going bad.

I didn't know at the time, of course. I learned a lot later that it was the SLA.

Patty Hearst was kidnapped by a small, violent, revolutionary group called the

SLA.

To understand the SLA, you have to understand Berkeley in 1973.

And to understand Berkeley in 1973, you have to understand the 60s and what San

Francisco became.

If you were radical in the 60s and early 70s, if you wanted

to change the world, you were at least giving a passing thought to going to

Berkeley.

It had become...

a huge melting pot for young people who wanted a brighter, more beautiful

future.

There was so much turmoil in those years.

There had been the civil rights movement and then the anti -war movement, and

young people were rebellious, they were protesting, and they had a sense of

power, that we can make a difference, that we could end the war in Vietnam.

By the 70s, there was...

anger and an incredible amount of violence that we can hardly imagine

It was as close to a revolutionary situation in some people's minds as we'd

had.

Once you get beat up a few times by the cops when you protest, you have to make

a choice between turning the other cheek or do something more extraordinary in

reaction.

to the violence of the state. They were killing us on college campuses.

Nixon is definitely looking at students as the enemies in the country right now.

We have to go underground.

I think it looks pretty bad for us.

A lot of these groups got even more radical because they believed that there

should be a revolution, that it will be an armed revolution that needs to

overthrow the government. And so a lot of these groups...

They studied basic Marx, they studied Lenin, they studied communism in

underground cells, and they truly believed that the only way that you

change a society for the better was to have this armed revolution.

We felt that we had to kind of ramp up the response.

Shit was hitting the fan everywhere.

I didn't come to this conclusion to do what I was doing in two weeks or a

You know, it was a huge evolution.

I graduated high school in 1963.

The civil rights movement was ramping up, but I had no political consciousness

of any kind.

Vietnam totally flipped my perspective.

My first day in Vietnam, I had to witness the torture of a Vietnamese

When you get in that kind of a level of conflict, it's really hard to adjust

coming back home.

Really, Vietnam was the precursor to the SLA.

I met Emily late January of 1968.

She was a sorority girl.

You know, Emily evolved during our relationship from a person that didn't

any politics to somebody that felt strongly about her politics.

And as she got more involved in women's issues, she became more and more

radicalized from her own self -interest.

Emily and I got married in November of 1971.

We moved to the Bay Area to get involved in political work.

I looked up an old friend from college that I found out was getting more deeply

involved in things.

I met Angela Atwood in the theater department of Indiana University.

She always had ideas influenced by... modern feminist thinking, and,

you know, she went through dramatic changes during the same period.

The three of us were interested in getting more deeply involved in things.

We didn't really know anybody to hook up with until I met Joe Romero.

Joe invited me to a community meeting.

It was at this meeting that I met another future comrade, Russ Little.

We started planning for the future.

We're kind of on a path to where this shit is going to necessarily escalate.

We're going to catch people's attention because we're going to do something

audacious.

Patty and I, we just had a really good life together.

She was fun -loving. She was easy to get along with.

We had great times together.

We'd travel not just to St.

Simeon and Wintune and the other Hearst places, but we went on road trips

together, and Patty was really getting anchored in her art history, and

everything seemed like it was heading in the right direction.

Patty and I decided we should get married.

We announced our engagement through the examiner, of course.

And we were looking forward to it.

While Steve Weed and Patty Hearst are going about their everyday business in

Berkeley, the SLA is starting to form in a very different place, in a prison.

One of the key aspects of the political environment in the Bay Area was the

prison movement.

For a lot of radicals in the 70s, prison symbolized everything that was wrong

with American society.

It's racism, it's violence, it's oppression of poor people. And the

the prisons as a place where they could foment revolutionary change.

At that time, Joe and Russ were doing work inside the California prison

It's inherently political if the process of the system hammers

people of color more than white people.

This is the beginning of things like mass incarceration.

This is how we deal with poverty.

We lock it up.

Since Berkeley was the epicenter of the protest movement, it was a place where

radicals wanted to try to spread the gospel to prisons.

And the nearest prison was Vacaville.

And so you had this pipeline where students and ex -students at Berkeley

go to Vacaville sort of as teachers, but really as political organizers.

One prisoner really stood out as the leader of the political

group in the prison, and that was Donald DeVries.

Donald DeVries was...

basically a professional criminal.

He'd been in and out of prison his whole life, but what landed him there for the

last time was when he beat up a prostitute, stole a check from her, and

cash it, and he got caught.

Willie Wolfe was an upper -middle -class kid, a physician's son from New

Milford, Connecticut, who went to Berkeley to try to be an archaeologist.

But in short order, he became radicalized.

And he became part of this group that spent its time going to Vacaville

And he became friends with Donald DeVries, Joe Romero, and Russ

Little.

DeVries had a plan.

Back then, all the jobs in the prison were done by a convict.

DeVries knew enough from talking to other prisoners that manning the boilers

a job outside the fence.

And the first time they sent him to his job, he stayed there for a couple hours

and he was gone.

I'm not certain who picked him up.

I always thought it was Willie.

When DeVries escaped, that was the beginning of the SLA.

Donald DeVries goes to the only place he knows.

that he's likely to get a warm welcome.

And that's Berkeley.

He hooks up on the outside with some of the students who had been visiting him

on the inside.

And that includes Joe Romero, Willie Wolf, Russ Little. And in their social

circle are Nancy Ling Perry and Ms. Moon Soltysik.

Ms. Moon and Nancy wind up moving in with Donald DeVries.

they start coming up with these ideas about revolutionary change.

The three of them become the nucleus of the Symbionese Liberation Army.

The Symbionese Liberation Army committed a horrendous crime before kidnapping

Patty Hearst. That incident gets lost when we talk about the Patty Hearst

kidnap.

During the fall of 1973,

Donald DeVries is a fugitive.

So he can't be out and about.

So he sits in the apartment and he stews.

And then one night on TV, DeVries sees a piece on the Oakland superintendent of

schools. The schools cannot do the job of education in the big cities alone.

Marcus Foster became a controversial figure.

partially because he was trying to have a police presence in the schools and

establish a kind of ID system for the students.

The concern was that the police would be in the schools not to protect the

students, but to control them.

DeVries became convinced that Foster had to be killed.

One night, Marcus Foster...

was walking from the school board building to his car.

They waited for the end of a school board meeting.

And as he walked into the parking lot, they shot Marcus Foster dead at point

-blank range.

The theory was that DeVries, Nancy Ling Perry, and Ms. Moon Soltysik were the

shooters, and Joe Romero and Russ Little were the lookouts.

Romero and Little had guns with them, but they were not involved in the

shooting. In the communicator newspapers, the SLA took credit for

murder. It was the first time anyone had ever heard of the group.

They were proud of what they had done, and they put out a press release or a

statement saying they had done this.

The SLA was not indiscriminately issuing death words for Foster, Blackburn, or

anyone else.

Such an attack was the only means left open to us to demand that the people's

wishes be met and that all such dangerous genocidal programs be stopped.

I was surprised by it. I didn't know they even existed.

So I was thinking, oh my goodness.

I mean, hell, I thought the Panthers did it.

The bullets that were used to kill him were cyanide -tipped.

They knew how to draw attention to themselves.

I've never heard of anybody putting cyanide into a lethal round. I've never

heard of that. So it was a mark of the SLA.

My reaction was, who the hell are these guys?

We better find out who they are and what they're about.

Patty and I had no interest in politics. Politics was not part of our life. It

was not part of Patty's life in any respect whatsoever.

I'm emphasizing that because a lot has been said that paints her as somebody

who was already picking up politics.

It's not true.

There was even a theory floated later, very seriously by a lot of people, that

she had been in on her own kidnapping.

It's crazy.

We're very much in the middle of the counterculture movement, but it just did

not affect us one way or another.

Everybody had heard of the SLA because of the assassination of Marcus Foster.

was all in the news. We heard about it, but we didn't know anything about the

people that were in the SLA.

did have a dramatic sense about him. He was the one who came up with the name of

the Symbionese Liberation Army.

Symbionese, which was based on symbiosis between students and prisoners.

De Vries, too, came up with the logo of the seven -headed cobra.

And the seven values of each head of the cobra were the same values

that underline the African holiday of Kwanzaa.

It would certainly be a mistake to think that the Symbionese Liberation Army had

some sort of clear agenda for change.

They believed if you engaged in small -scale but

intense violent struggle, that would set off a larger revolution.

How it would work, what they would do, was very unclear.

The SLA in killing Marcus Foster established that they were completely

isolated, even from possible allies in the counterculture.

But then they get three new recruits.

We were approached and asked if we wanted to meet the people who carried

Foster assassination.

Emily and I and Angela were taken to a location where hoods were put over our

head, and we were led into a van, and we were transported up to a place we

didn't know where we were. We had no idea.

Emily and Angela and I were just, you know, trying to understand what was

on and listening to what they had to say.

Because of the nature of the foster assassination, I was prepared to

not be impressed.

were not happy with that particular operation.

I think they were troubled by it enough to talk to Emily and me and Angela about

hooking up with them and separating off into a separate cell. That was my

intention always.

Combination of impatience, despair, the real malaise of my own existence, you

know, and the ineffectualness of the left was what caused me to make this

decision.

We're about the beginning of January, okay, of 1974, when we

finally come to that decision.

January 10th, 1974, literally changed my

whole life and all of my plans.

Joe and Ross were driving in their van back to the safe house. They were...

running errands, picking up guns that had been altered.

They went to a printing unit and picked up a stack of drawings of the seven

-headed cobra.

The leaflets were propaganda presenting what the program at the SLA was in hopes

of recruiting comrades.

I don't even think they noticed the cop, and all of a sudden he pulls them over

out of the blue.

Instead of coming back to the driver's side, he goes to the passenger's side

tells Joe to get out of the van.

They're both armed, and they have illegal guns and some leaflets that

them to something much more serious.

They ended up in a shootout at close quarters that had both of them so

out. that they missed each other.

The

leaflets,

however, were a big, big problem that connects them to the Foster

Joe or the rest of them, he had a Walther PPK that was one of the murder

that he had let one of the women use to shoot Foster.

They were charged with being the actual shooters of Marcus Foster, and they were

not.

And I realized that very soon it would be determined that they were associated

with us.

And so in reality, what we're going to have to do is we're going to have to

disappear.

Joseph Romero and Russell Little were arrested for Foster's murder.

They refused to talk about their membership in the Symbionese Liberation

Joe and Russ were arrested a few blocks away from the safe house.

There were so many cops in the area trying to figure out what was going on

free Nancy and Ms. Moon. They had to abandon that safe house.

They had things that were stored in this house, and it had been a safe house,

I'm not even sure for how long, but a long time.

Boxes and boxes of stuff.

After they soaked the house in about 20 gallons of gasoline, they attempted to

torch the house.

And unfortunately, someone lowered the garage door.

All the windows were closed because it was wintertime.

But when they closed the garage door, it cut off the oxygen to the fire and

immediately went out and left everything in perfect condition almost for the

feds and the police to go through.

In the house in which they lived in a quiet San Francisco suburb, police found

weapons,

revolutionary literature, and material linking them to the SLA.

My original decision was to be with some people federated with the SLA.

Okay? There's a distinction in my mind.

And ten days later, John Russell arrested.

And that throws everything out the window. The circumstances had made our

for us.

We were going underground immediately.

At this point, the SLA consisted of Bill Harris, Emily Harris, and Angela

Atwood, Donald DeFreeze, Willie Wolf, Nancy Ling Perry, and Ms. Moon

Soltysik. And she had a lover named Camilla Hall, and she also joined the

When the police start...

going through the Concord House, they start to find the SLA's list, and on one

of the lists is possible kidnap victims.

And there is a young college student named Patricia Hurst, because they had

her engagement announcement in the San Francisco Examiner.

The police never warned anyone on that list.

The months and months before we were ever introduced to the members of the

they had been acquiring intelligence on potential local targets,

including maybe a couple of news articles announcing Patricia's betrothal

Stephen Weed.

Articles didn't say where she lived, but they gave enough information to easily

find it out.

The decision to kidnap Patricia Hearst was the direct result of Joe and Russ's

arrest.

We had to do it as a matter of principle, possibly work toward an

It also was a result of our general politics and who we targeted in our

minds as being enemies of the people.

We had already determined that Hearst was a particular easy target and that

propaganda that could be generated from it was perfect.

Bill and Emily and Angela came out of the theater program at Indiana

And this was a time when theater had a very political component.

It was known as guerrilla theater.

And they believed in using...

in using propaganda as a way of exposing the

contradictions in modern society and recruiting people to their cause.

One idea that Bill and the others start to discuss is instead of killing people,

why don't we kidnap someone?

Why don't we use someone as a living pawn to

symbolize the nature of our revolutionary activity.

Emily and I and Angela's influence was to do things that were more inspiring

that weren't as scary.

We had to do things that not only inspired people because they were

forceful, but they had to be relevant.

Patricia Hearst was a symbolic target. She was an heiress. Her family

was... in control of a media empire that we viewed as

an arm of propaganda for the United States government.

She was more of an innocent, if there ever was one, which we're trying to

explain is the symbolic connection to Joe and Russ.

She's innocent, they're innocent.

We're going to treat her like you're supposed to treat them.

It didn't take us long to do the surveillance.

She was in an ideal location.

There was no security.

Her front door was right there, handy -dandy. And her apartment was blocked

the street, so there wasn't going to be a lot of easy sidelines for people to

see what was going on or even hear.

I think it was a weeknight that we chose.

Everybody in the group was involved in the operation.

Willie's driving, Ms. Moon's the passenger. In the VW, Emily's car is

about three spaces down the street.

Camilla was driving the getaway car.

And DeVries, me, and Angela had to handle everything that went on inside

house.

Everybody's armed.

It was dark, and so nobody saw us going up there.

Nobody saw us going up there.

I kind of recall being on the right of the door and DeFreeze was on the left.

DeFreeze and I bracketed the door where they couldn't see us.

Knock on the door.

Angela alluded to an accident and asked to use the phone.

DeFreeze grabs Wheat and put him on the ground.

Angela pounced on Patricia and started to secure her with clothesline -type

rope. And so I'm basically standing there with my machine gun now in plain

making sure nobody came back in or out.

DeVries had some belief that they're so rich they must have a safe.

DeVries is demanding to know where the safe is, you know.

And, of course, they're flummoxed. We don't have a safe, you know. He has no

idea that we're kidnapping his fiancée. He was scared shitless.

I remember him saying, don't harm us, take whatever you want.

DeVries kept telling me, keep your fucking head down. He kept looking up.

almost like a total compulsion.

All he had to do was lay there.

Nothing would have happened to him.

All of a sudden, Weed jumps up and is hauling ass right at me to escape from

front door.

And, man, I'm not planning on this. He's like, you know, 6 '1", 6 '2". He's a

tall, skinny guy.

And, you know, I'm 5 '6", 145 pounds, man.

I'm a little light in the ass. But now I got to make sure that he doesn't leave.

I'm like, oh, fuck, here we go. So he comes up screaming, and he's like

me dead in the face.

And I just come up with my machine gun, and I whack him in his chin. Bam!

and knock him back. I got him a good one, and he fell back, and I think then

freeze knocked him out some more.

You know, Weed was not in a position to do much of anything, and he ended up

looking bad about it, you know?

He didn't get himself shot, so big fucking deal, you know? It's like, you

yeah, I guess he could have got himself shot, and then he would look like Roy,

but he'd be a dead Weed instead of a live Weed.

Earth is tied up in Gagnon blindfolded.

She's a petite person, so I pick her up and I sling her over my shoulder in a

fireman's carry and proceed to leave with her.

I leave DeFries and Angela in the apartment.

Weed. He jumps up again and screams out of the house.

And we're gone.

We're gone by that time. He thought he had escaped us.

Come out to the courtyard, walk down the steps next to the garage.

I was losing control of her on my shoulder. I reached down, and I opened

to the trunk.

As soon as I let go of the trunk and take my left hand to further secure her,

the damn spring on the trunk immediately shuts the lid and locks it.

She's tied up in mine, so I set her down, and I run around to the side of

car. Give me the key. So I get the key again. I come back around.

She's not even there.

Fuck! I unlocked the fucking trunk, and I realized I gotta, like, not do it too

hard, and I closed it slightly, and I started looking for her. She's, like,

there. And so I look around, and sure enough, she's hobbled into the fucking

garage.

Go and grab her and throw her in the trunk.

I must have made too much racket.

Neighbors, who were situated across from her and next door to her, came out of

their apartment.

DeVries turned around.

Blasted four or five rounds to get them to back off.

That woke up Nancy, who's sitting shotgun in Emily's car.

And so she got off a few rounds, too.

We're ready to boogie. Willie can see that we're ready to go. He pulls out of

his spot.

We pull out of the driveway, come up behind him.

Emily comes up behind us. We make it around the corner. All of a sudden, out

nowhere, here comes a Berkeley cop who stops.

The VW with Willie and Ms. Moon in it.

Now, this is not even 30 seconds after all this

gunfire.

I'm thinking this is the cop responding to the fucking gunfire.

So now we're armed to the gills, and here we are. We're going to get a

with a cop. If he's detaining the lead car, we can't move.

We're going to have to blast this guy.

And then we see the lights come on in the VW.

The cops stopped them because they didn't have their lights on.

And he rolled up his window and moved past us.

He's going by.

I'm looking at him.

He's going like, I can see him do this as he's driving by. So the call's coming

in to him.

He just happened to show up a little bit late.

And we got to wait.

On a big kidnapping on the West Coast, the victim is Patricia Hurst.

Mom, Dad, I'm okay.

She was clearly terrorized. Do what they say, Dad, just do it quickly.

Just flat out barking mad.

She desperately did not want to go home. We had to prove that.

Who would have thought that Patricia Hearst would be robbing a bank as a

revolutionary act?

She was ready to shoot anything that got in her way.

I think she was spectacular.

She's a victim of thought control.

56 days in the closet turned her into an urban gorilla. The police wanted to be

the ones that caught us or killed us.

It is the longest, most intense shootout in the city's history.

There isn't a 20 % chance she's going to get out of this.

Patty had dramatically changed. Something, something snapped.

She's not a stereotypical Hollywood victim.

We kidnapped a freak.
