Gabriel Wyeth, 26, engineering student, diagnosed about five years ago.

Delusions began to grow increasingly vivid and violent, eventually requiring

hospitalization. Gabe had successfully masked his issues for so long that by

the time that anyone was aware of the extent of his problems, his delusions

had convinced him to try and blow up a government building.

So what are we looking for when we make a diagnosis of schizophrenia?

Well, many patients develop a routine to help them maintain the illusion of

control. Double Americano. Extra shot, skim milk, extra hot. Thanks.

Black coffee? Despite this, they outwardly exhibit disorganized or odd

behavior.

I don't think that's what I ordered. Which can lead to confusion and

agitation.

Where did you put the Alderman file?

Who the hell is Alderman?

See? Right where I said it was.

They might suffer from coexisting sleep disorders, including insomnia.

The majority of cases become unstable without medication.

Good.

The issue lies in what happens when a patient refuses treatment. Many will

endure confusion, anger, and risk harm to themselves and others, all in an

effort to cling to things that only they see and understand.

That's what makes these patients so dangerous. The delusions that drive them

also convince them to try to hide the depth of their problems.

Our challenge is to try to find a way to help someone who doesn't want it.

Risk lies in the damage they can do if we fail.

So tell me how this works.

I'm awake with my wife and I close my eyes. I open them.

I'm awake with my son.

And this has been happening since the accident?

So you begin working on one case here in reality, and then suddenly you begin

working another case there in your dream.

It all feels completely real to me.

You can't tell whether you're awake or asleep at this very moment. Well, I can

assure you, Detective Britton, this is not a dream.

It's exactly what the other shrink said.

Hey, Dad, the school says they don't have the permission slip.

You told me you turned it in.

How am I not the account holder if my name is on the bill?

No, no, don't put me... I gave it to the teacher. Got the thing on his head. I'll

call him. You can't call.

It had to be cleared last week.

Then I'm sorry. I'll take you to the museum myself. How's that?

It's not about the museum. It's about the fact that now I have to spend the

day in study hall because you didn't turn in a simple piece of paper.

I'm telling you, I'm pretty sure I gave the guy something unless I gave him the

phone bill. Well... No, no, no. I'm talking to my son. Don't, don't...

Listen, how can it take you three days to switch the service back on when you

have my money today?

Hold on a second.

Yeah?

I'm on my way.

Hello?

Hello?

All right, you ready to go?

I told you yesterday Cole's dad's taking me.

I'll text you when I'm out. No, you won't.

Your phone's not gonna be out for three days.

What?

It's gonna be back on on Wednesday. The phone company messed up. I'm sorry.

Hey, Vega.

Has Prince come back?

You asking me, Detective?

Spike, last you can make it. Lynn's waiting on us. The Prince came back.

Really?

They originally made it for the astronauts. I'm telling you, I sleep

like the dead in this thing. Who'd I spend half my pension on a mattress?

Half? We're talking about an astronaut bed, man. I'm pretty sure I spent my

whole pension and probably a little of yours.

What? Well, first of all, there's coffee.

Oh, look, Ben.

I dropped the thing, okay?

No, there's also a ring missing.

What? Yeah, there's one two-fingered brass knuckle ring with the word

wild inscribed on the top one.

No, no, no, no, no. See, I picked everything up and put it all back in

here. I made sure.

This is why I tell them not to let you guys take it out of the property room.

Do me a favor.

It's a ten-cent knockoff. It's got nothing to do with the crime. Could you

do some lending magic, make it disappear?

Just don't do it again.

Okay? I owe you a large beer, my friend. You know, you owe me a ring.

I knew I shouldn't have got out of bed this morning.

You know, I had that same feeling, but it's because I was very comfortable.

But that astronaut bed, ooh.

Oh, come on.

I wasn't the one who was too tired last night.

Ouch.

Just eight minutes of your precious time. Eight minutes? It takes me eight

minutes to get these clothes on.

Six. No, you're going the wrong direction.

Now about 12 minutes in the police escort, and that is my final offer.

How about lunch?

Lunch?

Tomorrow we stay in bed all day. Deal?

There was totally a sign there, and you blew right through it. There was no

sign. Let's go back.

I mean it.

Because you know there was a stop sign.

We're going to get to the station. I'm going to write you a ticket.

7143 and 45 responding code 3.

Watch out.

Guy claims to have the whole place wired with explosives.

He's got himself barricaded in there with about 15 other patients, doctors,

and nurses. We've set up a perimeter and already started evacuation.

This is the head nurse in charge. He is a patient.

His name's, uh, Gabriel Wyeth.

He just started screaming he was gonna blow the whole place up, and then he

locked down the high-risk wing from the inside.

You see these explosives? They look real to you? He's got a bunch of acetylene

tanks with wires sticking out of them. Detective.

He's on the phone. Who?

Patient. He wants to talk to whoever's in charge.

You're the senior officer.

This is Detective Britton.

Who am I talking to?

It's Gabe, okay? It's Gabe. You have to stop the noises. Stop the sirens, okay?

I can't hear my thoughts, and I need to hear what I'm thinking. Okay, Gabe. Hold

on a second. See what I can do.

Let's have all units respond code 2.

745, how all units respond code 2?

Hold on a second, Gabe.

All right, how's that, Gabe? Is that any better?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you. Now, which one are you?

Raise your hand.

That's me.

Right here.

You got me?

I see you.

You look okay.

Thanks.

All right, Gabe, listen.

Here's what I need you to do. I need you to let all those people you're holding

walk out of here. No, no, don't, don't. Hold on.

I tell you what I need, okay?

That's how this works, okay? That's how it works, okay?

All right, Kate.

I'm sorry.

So what do you need?

I need you to bring me my sister.

Okay? I know they have her.

I know all about it, okay? I just need to see her.

Talk to her.

Okay? I just need to... to see her.

All right, Gabe.

Give me a little time and... Gabe?

What did he say?

He wants to see his sister.

Christy. You know where I can find her?

You can't.

She was murdered about four years ago.

Great.

We estimate there are 25 hostages.

He's got them locked behind his sally port doors here.

Oh, here we go.

Everyone, this is Dr. Lee.

He's worked with the patient extensively.

We're just trying to get a thumbnail of what we're dealing with here.

Well, what we're dealing with is a very intelligent and very troubled

individual. Gabe was actually a rising star in a government research lab when

his condition started to become apparent.

He lived with his sister, Christy, until four years ago when she was murdered in

a dispute with an ex-boyfriend.

Gabe responded to her death by creating an elaborate conspiracy theory in which

his sister was not murdered, but abducted by agents from the lab where he

used to work.

Despite our best efforts, he's grown increasingly delusional. Doctor, bottom

line, is this a guy we're going to be able to reason with?

As long as he's allowing his actions to be dictated by things only he sees or

hears, it's unlikely.

Very well.

This is a high-security building.

Apparently Gabe has overtaken the command room, so he can use all the

measures designed to keep the patients in to keep us out.

Realistically, we're looking at 12 to 14 hours to try a full breach.

Our only immediate option is to try sniping him through the small western

window.

But if we're going to get a clean shot, we're going to have to maneuver him into

position. The negotiator's trying to work out a trade to get one of our guys

inside, see if we can't direct him. He won't let anyone out, but he's agreed to

let someone in if they can help him find his sister. We can work with that. It's

one complication.

He's saying he'll only take the officer who helped him with the noise.

Detective Britton.

Absolutely not.

How else are you going to take the shot?

Once you're in, ease in toward the west side of the drinking fountain. That's

where we got the best shot.

Excuse me.

Hey, honey.

Hey, babe.

I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but what if we try that Lebanese place

again? You know, I can't.

Oh, I know, but they say that the lamb's gotten so much better.

No, no, I mean, a situation came up at work, and I gotta take a rain check.

Oh.

Okay, well, what about dinner?

Dinner would be great.

Hey.

You know that I love you, right?

Yeah, I love you too, babe.

I'll see you tonight, all right?

See ya.

This is Detective Michael Britton.

Please leave me a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can.

Vega.

Ephraim.

You're not at this hospital scene I'm watching on TV, right?

Okay, listen to me. Where is he?

Where's Michael?

We had a situation and he didn't want you to worry.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Show me you're clean

I got nothing on me, Gabe.

Just like you told me.

Okay?

So let's stay calm.

Sit down.

What did they tell you?

They told me to come in here and help you find your sister and bring her to

see you.

Did they tell you that I'm making it up?

Because that's how they dismiss you.

How they try to get rid of you.

Yeah, they did.

Not imagining things.

My sister is real.

And she's alive.

And whatever they told you, she doesn't deserve this.

She's the only one that I ever understood.

When they tried to split us up, take me away, because they said that I was sick,

that I wanted to hurt people, she wouldn't let them.

She fought them, and instead of letting them haul me off to a place like this,

She took me to one like this.

She looks nice.

She protected me.

I let them take her.

I should have protected her.

And I didn't.

But now I need to get her.

I need to get her back in that.

That's what makes me sick.

Don't you think I would be crazy if I wasn't trying to save her?

Yes.

Look.

Look at this. No, no, no, no!

No!

No!

Look, they think that I can't see through this. I mean, but it's

practically obvious.

Hey, can I ask you something?

What is that in your hand?

This? Yeah.

This is a dead man's switch.

It's what triggers the bombs, detective.

If I let go, boom.

That's how I'm gonna keep them honest.

As long as I don't let go, everything's fine. But if they try something...

Excuse me.

This is how we'll find her?

This map?

That's where Dr.

Wilde has her.

Dr. Wilde?

Two-fingered brass knuckle ring with the word Wilde inscribed on the top.

He's holding her. He's got her in this secret underground location.

They think that she's going to talk about my research.

But I keep telling them that...

She doesn't know anything.

But they won't even admit that they have her. How can you reason with someone

when they say that she's not even alive?

Can you shut up? I'm trying to tell them where Christy is.

Get away from the window.

Sierra One, I have visual on suspect.

You've got a green light on the shot.

Shut up!

Get off! Get off! You're trying to kill me!

No, no, no, I'm trying to help you.

I can pull the wire from the transceiver and it's the same thing as letting go of

the button. Don't do it!

No, no, no.

Get away!

Stand up!

All right, just calm down, okay?

Gabe? Turn around!

Okay. I need you to stay calm.

Gabe, if we're gonna try and help you... Shut up!

I can't think!

I can't have you causing this kind of trouble. All right, let's just slow

everything down, okay?

Gabe?

Hey, it's me.

That missing ring turn up? The one that said wild?

Sorry.

Your dad didn't notice you carrying two bowls?

I don't think he would have noticed if I'd had two heads.

He's acting weird lately.

Why? Why?

I don't know.

You don't ask?

It's none of my business.

Sure it is.

He could be getting fired.

Or, I don't know, he has a tumor.

Or he could have eating disorder.

He doesn't have an eating disorder.

No? Well, how would you know if you don't ask?

We just don't talk about stuff like that.

Would you know if your parents had an eating disorder?

Mm-hmm.

Totally. They practically tell each other everything.

Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm. Where did they think you slept last night?

In your bed.

You're serious.

Yeah.

They practice progressive parenting.

As long as I tell them the truth, they trust me.

They must want to kill me.

No.

Well, they'd be more mad at you if they found out you were giving me this.

And I'll have processed sugar at home.

So, you're allowed to sleep over at your boyfriend's, but you can't have Captain

Crunch?

I'm a professor of parenting.

Sit the cleaning crew. Find the ring, will ya? No need.

Guy pled guilty this morning.

Case closed.

Really? You sure?

Well, it took 18 months.

After that, I'm sure he'll be a model citizen.

There's something wrong there.

We gotta find the ring.

You need to find it?

Why?

I mean, you said yourself it's not important to the case, okay? We got

enough real work here that I don't need you out there hunting, looking around

for cheap jewelry.

Now, if you feel bad, you can send the guy a carton of cigarettes.

All right, can you just ask him to keep looking for...

When are you coming in?

No, I got to stop and see someone first.

Tell me about psychiatric drugs, the kind you inject.

Something that might cause hallucinations.

An anesthetic like ketamine, for instance, could have that effect.

Why?

Last thing I remember before I woke up this morning, I got shot up with some

thing, maybe ketamine.

I don't understand how... There's this guy, a mental patient.

He's taken some people hostage in the hospital, and I was sent in to defuse

the situation. He attacked me and injected me with something, and... You

mean in your dreams?

I don't know what's going on, no.

Are you experiencing hallucinations?

No.

This ring that you're missing.

You said that it wasn't important to the case, and yet you feel compelled to find

it. Why?

The guy's looking for a Dr. Wilde, and the ring's got Wilde inscribed on it.

I see.

And this psychiatric patient, what exactly is the nature of his illness?

He's a schizophrenic.

Would you say that you're frightened of him?

Well, he's got the building wired to explode, and I'm inside it, so... Yeah,

I'd say I'm a little bit frightened.

What if I told you that that sounded like a positive step?

I'd say that's not exactly how it feels.

Through this missing ring, you have linked yourself with a schizophrenic.

a man who's unable to distinguish fantasy from reality.

But in this situation you've created, your own well-being depends on

neutralizing him, on defeating him.

And on some level, that means that you've acknowledged the danger presented

when someone refuses to see things for what they are.

You're saying I'm dreaming to tell myself to stop dreaming.

I'm saying right now...

It's a missing ring.

It's a permission slip. It's a phone bill.

But what you are really afraid of is what all that might point to.

You're having a nightmare about madness, Detective Britton, because somewhere

inside you fear that if you continue to deny the reality of your situation, this

is where all that could end.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Hey, you see a ring around the house? Like a two-fingered gold thing with the

word wild written across the top?

No. Why?

It's evidence.

I gotta find it.

I'll let you know if I see anything.

Hey, Rex!

Get down here!

Come here.

Did you take the ring?

Hey, I asked you a question.

Did you take the ring?

I... I... I didn't think anyone would notice.

It's evidence in a murder trial, son. You could go to jail. I could lose my

job. I figured it wasn't important.

And that's a good enough reason to steal?

I wanted to give it to my girlfriend.

Your what?

She likes that kind of stuff, and I can totally get it back. Well, what

girlfriend? You don't have a girlfriend.

Yeah, I do.

Since when?

Um, I don't know, a few months.

No, you would have told me. You told me about the last one, the blonde one.

I didn't. Mom did.

I know since she died, you want us to suddenly be like all cool, whatever.

But you're still my dad.

What does that mean?

I don't know. We just don't talk about stuff like that.

So you're going to what, send me a wedding invitation?

Look, your mother's not here.

We don't have an interpreter anymore.

It's just you and me.

And if we want to make this work, we're going to have to put some effort in. I'm

doing my best. You got to do it, too.

Okay?

So, tell me something about her.

She's got a name.

Emma. Emma.

She was stealing for this, Emma.

I'm sorry.

I'm supposed to see her tonight.

If you want to get the ring back, you could, you know, meet her.

Well, is it wrong that I still think it's romantic?

Yeah.

A little bit.

But he's gonna get you something he has to actually pay for, right?

Yes. You could still wear those big clocks, right?

I like him.

Why hadn't I met him before? Yeah, Rex, why not?

I don't know.

All right, that's enough torture for one night.

You're not staying?

Uh, I got what I came for. It's nice to meet you, Emma. It's nice to meet you.

Okay.

Sorry,

that's the way we do it in my family.

It's just Rex and I are still at the high-five stage, but we're working on

it.

Yeah.

What are you doing in here?

We convinced Cave to let me in. You got a pretty big dose of ketamine.

You'll probably feel the residual effects until it wears off. You'll

stabilize in a couple of hours. Easy.

Horsey, what's he doing?

Well, he's been... What?

What's going on?

What are they doing?

Now they're coming in.

They've cut the power off.

Means you can't control the doors or the cameras.

Who turned off the lights?

Turn the lights on!

Turn them on!

Turn the lights on!

What does that mean?

It means SWAT's trying to find a way to come in here.

And shoot a man who's wired to explode.

Why won't they just bring her to me? Gabe, I need you to let me make a phone

call or they're gonna come in here.

I won't let that happen.

I can still stop them.

Please.

Look, you want answers to your questions, don't you?

If they come in here and everybody dies, then you don't get any questions

answered.

So, please, let me make a call.

Vega. Tell SWAT to stand down. Gabe has a dead man's switch.

Tell SWAT. Stop! Stop!

It's Brady.

Says the guy's got a dead man's trigger. We shoot him, the whole place goes up.

Stand down. Stand down.

Everyone hold your position.

Hold down.

Okay, they're holding.

What do we do?

I need you to look into a couple of things.

Gabe says his sister's being held by a Dr.

Wilde. Do we have anything on file?

Dr. Wilde.

I don't know. I'll check.

And see what you can dig up on a trip he took with his sister just before she

died. Trip?

To where? To a beach or something.

Okay.

Thank you. All right, I'll see if I can find anything, and I'll get back to you.

It's gonna take a little time.

You know...

Sometimes I see her here in my room or she'll just be

beside me walking down the hall.

I know she's not really here, but it just feels so good to be around her

again.

I keep saying that I see things that aren't

there.

But that's not my problem.

You know what my problem is?

No matter how hard I try, eventually, I stop seeing things

that aren't there.

That's why I have to do this.

I don't want to imagine seeing Christy anymore.

I want it to be real.

Yeah. I've got no reference to Dr. Wilde anywhere.

Not in the lab where he worked, not where he went to school, no one he's

ever seen for treatment, nothing.

The only reference to Wilde in the file at all is the Wilde Road Cemetery where

Gabe's sister is buried.

He's holding her. He's got her in this secret underground location.

I also don't have anything about a trip in 07.

All the records say that at that point he was...

Pretty heavy therapy and afraid to travel.

All right.

Keep looking.

They're getting somewhere.

Just need a little bit more time.

Okay?

Doesn't make sense.

What?

Vegas says there's no way this guy took a trip in 07.

Maybe that's not what it refers to.

Maybe.

Did you find out anything more about Dr. Wilde?

Wilde's not the name of a doctor holding Christy underground. It's the name of

the cemetery where she's buried.

There's got to be something here.

Detective Brennan, this is a huge step.

The fact that he's taken this detail and put it into his narrative, it

demonstrates that on some level, he remembers burying Christy in that

cemetery. On some level, he knows that she's dead. If guided properly, we can

help him to understand that there is no sister to bring to him.

We can end the standoff.

You want me to tell him his sister's dead?

Isn't that exactly what you've been doing for years?

It's different this time. It's not you telling him. It's him telling you.

These glimpses of a healthy mind buried under layers of delusion and denial are

rare. It's up to us to properly seize them.

To guide him.

I don't know. I don't think... Hey.

What are you talking about?

completely honest with you before.

I do have information about Christy.

Do you know where she is?

Since your wife's funeral.

There's no world in which your son survived the accident.

She escaped.

Nobody was meant to know.

Because this place they were holding her, underground, was meant to be

inescapable. Honestly, they thought it was impossible.

But she did it.

Christy got out. She beat them.

Gabe.

And she managed to leave a message for you.

Not too wild, of course. Was trying to keep the whole thing a secret.

What did she say?

She wanted you to know that she was okay, that she was free and happy, and

she was never going to let anyone catch her again.

And she promised that someday, someplace, you will see her again.

And her last line just read, I love you,

Tripp.

She's okay.

Yeah.

She's okay.

How did you know his sister called him Trip? I didn't.

I saw it on the picture, and his name was Gabriel Wyeth III, so I figured I'd

give it a shot.

I don't understand.

Trip. As in triple?

Nickname for third?

So you had the opportunity to help this patient see the truth.

But you chose instead to perpetuate his denial. Why?

How would he be better off?

Thinking of his sister in the ground somewhere than thinking of her free,

liberated, waiting for him.

Explain to me what exactly is so great about seeing reality for what it is.

You've more or less summed up the reason why every major religion has some

version of an afterlife.

The part that troubles me, you built a story about the costs of living the

fantasies, and you allowed it to point you back to all the things that get lost

in the shuffle between these worlds, like this relationship of your sons.

But when you came face to face with the larger revelations, you're back down.

You were treated into a scenario where you save the day, you play the hero,

win the affection of the wife you feared losing, the approval of the therapist

who's expressed doubts in you.

Just like Gabe, you hold the keys that will tell you what's real and what's

not.

But for the moment, you're unwilling to turn them.

On set.

Hey.

Oh, my God, I remember this.

You and Mommy used to read this to me, like, every night.

For years.

Gabe didn't need to be forced into some kind of revelation for his story to turn

out okay, so why are you so eager to do it to me?

Detective Britton, you are comparing yourself to a schizophrenic whose

delusions led him to be institutionalized.

I'd strongly prefer if we find a way to help you before you get that far.

Well, didn't you feel frightened?

Frightened?

Yeah, of course.

Who wouldn't, didn't you?

Absolutely.

But then I wasn't inside like you.

After I advised you on how to approach Gabe, they put me in this secured van in

case I could be useful.

But as it turned out, you did fine without me.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I feel a little strange.

It's probably the drugs wearing off.

I think you're finally making some real progress at this point.

The best thing is probably for you to just get some sleep.
