00:01:10,809 --> 00:01:13,029
MAN: He looked like
a very passive type person,
3
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,987
like living in
his own world.
4
00:01:15,118 --> 00:01:25,215
[♪]
5
00:01:25,346 --> 00:01:28,479
He had long hair.
He had a nickname.
6
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:31,178
People said, they used
to call him Jesus Christ.
7
00:01:31,308 --> 00:01:42,102
[♪]
8
00:01:42,232 --> 00:01:44,321
There had to be
something wrong with him
9
00:01:44,452 --> 00:01:47,063
but I never thought
he would resort
10
00:01:47,194 --> 00:01:48,934
to that kind of violence,
this individual.
11
00:01:53,852 --> 00:01:56,028
And then that night to
see him do what he did,
12
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:57,856
it just kind of
blew me away.
13
00:01:57,987 --> 00:01:59,597
I just couldn't
believe it.
14
00:01:59,728 --> 00:02:00,903
I said I never thought
a person like that
15
00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:02,861
could do a thing like this.

[♪]
17
00:02:35,894 --> 00:02:40,247
The police got a call at
approximately 7:45 p.m.
18
00:02:40,377 --> 00:02:41,987
indicating that a
woman was being stabbed
19
00:02:42,118 --> 00:02:44,033
in front of Wal-Mart
at 950 Brookdale Avenue.
20

[♪]
21
00:02:49,647 --> 00:02:51,562
His victim was a
22-year-old female
22
00:02:51,693 --> 00:02:53,782
who was a resident of
the city of Cornwall.
23
00:02:53,912 --> 00:02:56,306
She was a young lady
24
00:02:56,437 --> 00:02:57,351
who was about to get married
in the very near future.
25
00:03:02,399 --> 00:03:04,096
MAN: We knew it was a complete
random act of violence.
26
00:03:04,227 --> 00:03:07,796
It was just she was
not known to him,
27
00:03:07,926 --> 00:03:10,799
he had never seen her before.
28
00:03:10,929 --> 00:03:14,498
The devil told
him to stab...
29
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:15,369
...the prettiest
girl that he seen.

[♪]
33
00:03:39,784 --> 00:03:42,787
When we walked in
she was covered with-
34
00:03:42,918 --> 00:03:43,745
all I remember was she was
covered with a white sheet
35
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:45,573
that was completely soaked
36
00:03:45,703 --> 00:03:49,098
in the reddest, reddest colour
of blood that I've ever seen.
37
00:03:51,535 --> 00:03:54,408
WOMAN: We didn't know how many
times she had been stabbed. No.
38
00:03:55,974 --> 00:03:57,498
INTERVIEWER:
So when you
39
00:03:57,628 --> 00:03:59,935
arrived at the
hospital initially
40
00:04:00,065 --> 00:04:02,633
you didn't know if she
was going to live or die?
41
00:04:02,764 --> 00:04:03,112
No, no.That's right.
42
00:04:06,463 --> 00:04:07,986
Sean Clifton was
someone who was known
43
00:04:08,117 --> 00:04:11,381
to almost all police officers
because of his contact
44
00:04:11,512 --> 00:04:14,123
that we've had with
him in the community.
45
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:17,300
And what I mean by that is
that often we would find him
46
00:04:17,431 --> 00:04:18,823
acting in a bizarre
manner in a public place.
47
00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:23,915
Routinely we'd
come across him
48
00:04:24,046 --> 00:04:25,743
and we'd see he was
in a distorted state
49
00:04:25,874 --> 00:04:29,399
or a delusional state
but not in a violent manner.
50
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:31,271
But this particular event
51
00:04:31,401 --> 00:04:32,750
was a total surprise.
52
00:04:32,881 --> 00:04:34,448
This is not something I would
have predicted from him.
53
00:04:36,188 --> 00:04:46,460

[♪]
55
00:05:09,526 --> 00:05:11,876
NOELLA BOUVIER: And
I had maybe a minute
56
00:05:12,007 --> 00:05:14,314
with my daughter,
with Julie.
57
00:05:14,444 --> 00:05:15,924
I took my two hands,
58
00:05:16,054 --> 00:05:18,230
that's about the only
place I could touch her.
59
00:05:18,361 --> 00:05:22,017
I put my two hands
under Julie's head
60
00:05:22,147 --> 00:05:23,453
and I kissed her.
61
00:05:23,584 --> 00:05:26,543
And, uh...
62
00:05:26,674 --> 00:05:30,504
I went into her ear and
I says, "Mom and Dad's here.
63
00:05:30,634 --> 00:05:32,244
You're going in surgery,
you're going to be alright."
64
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:35,465
The strength I felt,
it's unbelievable.
65
00:05:35,596 --> 00:05:41,166
And all she did was a little
nod saying she understood.
66
00:05:41,297 --> 00:05:44,866
So I think she was
conscious, in pain but -
67
00:05:44,996 --> 00:05:48,652
and I pulled my hands,
walked out of the room
68
00:05:48,783 --> 00:05:50,437
and I lost it.
69
00:05:51,699 --> 00:05:55,964
[Detective speaking]

00:05:56,094 --> 00:05:57,182
DET. WHITE:
Within two hours
71
00:05:57,313 --> 00:05:59,228
of the incident
occurring at Wal-Mart
72
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:02,971
I had occasion to
interview Sean Clifton
73
00:06:03,101 --> 00:06:04,668
in an attempt to
try and understand
74
00:06:04,799 --> 00:06:06,104
how such a horrific
event could occur.
75
00:06:29,737 --> 00:06:30,999
NOELLA BOUVIER: When
they started the surgery,
76
00:06:31,129 --> 00:06:32,392
the nurses kept -
77
00:06:32,522 --> 00:06:33,567
one nurse kept coming
out and telling us,
78
00:06:33,697 --> 00:06:36,526
Okay, so far so good.
79
00:06:36,657 --> 00:06:40,095
And then they come out
and a lung had collapsed.
80
00:06:40,225 --> 00:06:42,837
Then they came out and said
we had to put a chest tube in.
81
00:06:42,967 --> 00:06:44,578
Like it kept getting
worse and worse.
82
00:06:44,708 --> 00:06:47,581
[door opening]
83
00:06:52,673 --> 00:06:53,848
It's, it's devastating.

00:06:53,978 --> 00:06:56,938
You feel so helpless,
you know.
85
00:06:57,068 --> 00:07:01,246
The--one of the
memories that I...
86
00:07:01,377 --> 00:07:04,119
[chuckles]
I, I...
87
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:14,129
I'll be back.
88
00:07:22,616 --> 00:07:24,444
DET. WHITE: When the
police arrived on scene,
89
00:07:24,574 --> 00:07:26,054
the perpetrator,
Sean Clifton in this case,
90
00:07:26,184 --> 00:07:27,751
was still there, he was
still standing there.
91
00:07:27,882 --> 00:07:29,449
He wasn't trying
to avoid detection
92
00:07:29,579 --> 00:07:31,842
or flee from the police,
he was just standing there.
93
00:07:31,973 --> 00:07:33,888
And what was
interesting was the fact
94
00:07:34,018 --> 00:07:35,411
that when the officers
approached him
95
00:07:35,542 --> 00:07:37,848
he was like in a trance,
he was just staring.
96
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,449
DET. WHITE:
The psychiatrist in the case
97
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:15,712
felt that he did not have
98
00:08:15,843 --> 00:08:19,020
the operating mind in
order to form mens rea,
99
00:08:19,150 --> 00:08:21,892
in other words intentional
will to commit a crime.
100
00:08:26,114 --> 00:08:28,508
And as a result he was sent
101
00:08:28,638 --> 00:08:30,074
to a forensic
psychiatric facility,
102
00:08:30,205 --> 00:08:33,164

a psychiatric unit
105
00:08:51,792 --> 00:08:54,142
at a general hospital
106
00:08:54,272 --> 00:08:56,492
where you would
take your mother.
107
00:08:56,623 --> 00:08:58,407
The Brockville
Mental Health Centre
108
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:02,367
is strictly a forensic
psychiatry unit, which means
109
00:09:02,498 --> 00:09:07,285
every client here has some
sort of criminal charge.

I haven't seen a lawyer,
my lawyer, okay?
116

I'm beaten the shit

of the patients here

are capable of

Absolutely all of them.

MAN:
Every one.
122
00:09:57,031 --> 00:09:58,206
WOMAN: Every single one,
a potential for violence
123
00:09:58,336 --> 00:10:01,383
is what got them here
in the first place,
124
00:10:01,513 --> 00:10:02,863
not just because they
were schizophrenic,
125
00:10:02,993 --> 00:10:04,473
because they were violent.

B3 South.

Now, who is
anyone going...
132
00:10:39,116 --> 00:10:40,988
DR. AHMED:
Mr. Clifton
133
00:10:41,118 --> 00:10:43,643
is one of the most
ill patients
134
00:10:43,773 --> 00:10:44,121
that I have seen
in my career.
135
00:10:48,125 --> 00:10:50,301
His case is complex
in the sense that
136
00:10:50,432 --> 00:10:52,390
he has a dual diagnosis:
137
00:10:52,521 --> 00:10:58,135
obsessive/compulsive
disorder and schizophrenia.
138
00:10:58,266 --> 00:11:01,443
WOMAN: When there is a crime
committed that is as heinous,
139
00:11:01,573 --> 00:11:05,403
as violent as the one
that Sean committed,
140
00:11:05,534 --> 00:11:09,451
We use initially
anti-psychotic medications
141
00:11:09,581 --> 00:11:14,238
to treat the agitation,
aggression, the delusions,
142
00:11:14,369 --> 00:11:17,633
the disconnect
with reality.
143
00:11:17,764 --> 00:11:20,897
And there is
a dramatic change.
144
00:11:21,028 --> 00:11:51,232
[♪]
145
00:11:51,362 --> 00:11:53,321
INTERVIEWER: What was
Sean's demeanour like?
146
00:11:53,451 --> 00:11:54,626
WOMAN:
Flat.

Almost robotic.

WOMAN:
Yeah, yeah.
149
00:11:58,456 --> 00:12:00,720
Think of yourself as
having a mannequin
150
00:12:00,850 --> 00:12:01,372
and there's just
this stone...
151
00:12:01,503 --> 00:12:04,071
...response.
152
00:12:04,201 --> 00:12:07,857
There is no affect, there is
no raising of the eyebrows,
153
00:12:07,988 --> 00:12:10,338
sparkling of the eye,
there's just nothing.
154
00:12:16,953 --> 00:12:18,825
He was very seclusive
when he came in,
155
00:12:18,955 --> 00:12:21,392
he didn't interact
with anyone
156
00:12:21,523 --> 00:12:22,002
that he didn't
absolutely have to.
157
00:12:24,961 --> 00:12:26,310
He would sit
in a common area
158
00:12:26,441 --> 00:12:30,532
but not where other
people are sitting.
159
00:12:30,662 --> 00:12:33,578
MAN: Sean was so tormented
and preoccupied
160
00:12:33,709 --> 00:12:35,363
with what was going
on in his mind
161
00:12:35,493 --> 00:12:39,497
that the world outside
of his mind didn't exist.
162
00:12:39,628 --> 00:12:42,370
And he didn't care about it
because he was so bombarded
163
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:47,984
with thoughts and
impulses and rituals that -
164
00:12:48,115 --> 00:12:50,465
you know, if you spoke to
him he'd look right at you
165
00:12:50,595 --> 00:12:54,556
but he's not hearing you
because he is inside his mind.
166
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:00,214
DeCOU: Well of course
with the schizophrenia
167
00:13:00,344 --> 00:13:02,651
he was very, very paranoid.
168
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:06,046
But the most striking thing
about him at that time
169
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:08,526
was his obsessive
compulsive disorder.
170
00:13:11,094 --> 00:13:12,748
In my years here
171
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:15,969
he had the worst case of
obsessive compulsive disorder
172
00:13:16,099 --> 00:13:17,709
that I have
ever witnessed.
173
00:13:22,932 --> 00:13:25,717
He had several rituals, though
the one that sticks most
174
00:13:25,848 --> 00:13:27,415
in my mind would
be at meal times.
175
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,902
Sean would have
put that tray back,
176
00:13:36,032 --> 00:13:37,599
and then he would
have to adjust it

interject your opinion

or get him to elaborate,
184
00:14:08,586 --> 00:14:10,023

what he was saying

the beginning again.

some in the hands,
some in the back, the leg.
191
00:14:51,368 --> 00:14:52,326
I had two different

So a lot of incisions
under the left breast
194

one in my stomach

sure that there was

no serious wounds,
puncture wounds.

her plan, of course,

She really wanted children.

is that Sean really
had to do the work.

There's medication

the intensity to decrease.

And I remember after
going to the hearing

was the hearing

to see if he was
stable or not,

that was my last time

352
00:26:05,302 --> 00:26:07,566
with another
forensic patient.
353
00:26:07,696 --> 00:26:10,046
Is it in your mind
that, you know, gee,
354
00:26:10,177 --> 00:26:13,093
what happens if he reoffends or
if he stops taking his meds?
355
00:26:13,223 --> 00:26:14,311
Is this something that
you gave some thought to?
356
00:26:14,442 --> 00:26:18,054
Yeah.
357
00:26:18,185 --> 00:26:21,797
Yeah, it's a bit of a fear
but I'm constantly trying
358
00:26:21,928 --> 00:26:25,714
to remain friends
with Sean
359
00:26:25,845 --> 00:26:30,023
so that that doesn't
happen, it doesn't....
360
00:26:30,153 --> 00:26:33,635
Try to solve the problem
before it becomes a problem.
361
00:26:33,766 --> 00:26:36,551
We met in the hospital.
362
00:26:36,682 --> 00:26:39,423
Took us through a
list of stuff that,
363
00:26:39,554 --> 00:26:41,904
like rules for
the apartment.
364
00:26:42,035 --> 00:26:45,908
So that we knew
what was going on.
365
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:47,649
INTERVIEWER:
What kind of rules?
366
00:26:47,780 --> 00:26:52,785
WILL: I think it was no
violence towards each other.
367
00:26:52,915 --> 00:26:54,569
That was my,
my main one anyways.
368
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:03,317
We try to stay friends
a lot and work together.
369
00:27:03,447 --> 00:27:06,407
We watch TV and stuff
like that together
370
00:27:06,537 --> 00:27:07,843
and we try to
stay friends.
371
00:27:10,846 --> 00:27:14,589
When are the folks
coming to town again?
372
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,157
Probably on the weekend.
373
00:27:17,287 --> 00:27:19,115
Oh yeah.
374
00:27:19,246 --> 00:27:20,856
They going to bring
us something to eat?
375
00:27:20,987 --> 00:27:22,423
Uh-huh.
376
00:27:22,553 --> 00:27:25,078
They brought us ham this time,
there's ham in the fridge.
377
00:27:25,208 --> 00:27:27,341
Yeah, I saw that.
378
00:27:27,471 --> 00:27:30,779
There's a bottle of gravy
in there, isn't there?
379
00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:33,956
Oh, that's baked beans.
380
00:27:34,087 --> 00:27:37,003
My mother made some
baked beans. Yeah.
381
00:27:41,964 --> 00:27:45,011
From scratch?Yeah.
382
00:27:45,141 --> 00:27:46,490
I don't know how
she makes them.
383
00:27:46,621 --> 00:27:50,103
[chatter from television]
384
00:27:50,233 --> 00:27:53,323
WILL: Like I said, we just
try to keep it friends.
385
00:27:53,454 --> 00:27:56,413
I try not to piss him off
so that, you know,
386
00:27:56,544 --> 00:27:59,068
we're not really
endangering each other
387
00:27:59,199 --> 00:28:01,244
of any of the violent offences
that we were both there for.
388
00:28:09,296 --> 00:28:11,951
People think I'm a good fighter,
I think, so that's good.
389
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:19,741
I'm a martial artist, I've been
in close to a hundred fights.
390
00:28:19,872 --> 00:28:23,005
I was kind of a
smaller guy in school
391
00:28:23,136 --> 00:28:26,661
so I had a few guys
picking on me.
392
00:28:26,792 --> 00:28:30,056
So I started studying kind
of beating up tougher guys,
393
00:28:30,186 --> 00:28:31,753
you know, guys that would
think that they could
394
00:28:31,884 --> 00:28:34,060
be aggressive with me.
395
00:28:35,670 --> 00:28:37,716
I did strike a few of the cops
396
00:28:37,846 --> 00:28:41,023
and that got me into
some hot water as well.
397
00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:44,200
INTERVIEWER:
Did you use
398
00:28:44,331 --> 00:28:46,986
any of those techniques
that we just saw?
Yes.Ouch.
399
00:28:47,116 --> 00:28:48,335
Yeah.
400
00:28:52,948 --> 00:28:54,297
I got a reputation,
nobody wanted to mess with me.
401
00:28:54,428 --> 00:28:57,170
Yeah.
402
00:28:57,300 --> 00:28:58,649
Did you have to beat
up a few people first
403
00:28:58,780 --> 00:28:59,868
to get the message
out there?
404
00:28:59,999 --> 00:29:01,740
Uh, yeah, I did, I did.
405
00:29:06,657 --> 00:29:09,573
WOMAN:
Will has no insight,
406
00:29:09,704 --> 00:29:13,142
if I can say that,
into his mental disorder.
407
00:29:13,273 --> 00:29:15,362
He believes totally
and completely
408
00:29:15,492 --> 00:29:17,059
that he does not have
a mental illness.
409
00:29:21,368 --> 00:29:25,067
I'm one of the forensic
outreach nurses
410
00:29:25,198 --> 00:29:26,460
here at the Brockville
Mental Health Centre.
411
00:29:28,679 --> 00:29:30,464
When an individual goes
out into the community,
412
00:29:30,594 --> 00:29:32,292
we want to keep everybody
safe when they're out there,
413
00:29:32,422 --> 00:29:34,990
so that basically is
our responsibility,
414
00:29:35,121 --> 00:29:36,122
to maintain the safety
of the community.
415
00:29:39,212 --> 00:29:41,214
We have to be
in a situation
416
00:29:41,344 --> 00:29:46,436
where it's a bit
of a policing role.
417
00:29:46,567 --> 00:29:49,178
They can be very paranoid
when we go to see them
418
00:29:49,309 --> 00:29:51,050
because they feel that perhaps
419
00:29:51,180 --> 00:29:54,836
we might be taking them
back to the hospital.[doorbell]
420
00:29:54,967 --> 00:29:56,577
Hi, Will, how are you doing?Hello, Janet.
421
00:29:57,752 --> 00:29:58,971
His delusions and
the involvement
422
00:29:59,101 --> 00:30:01,800
that he had with the police,
423
00:30:01,930 --> 00:30:04,715
he truly does believe
424
00:30:04,846 --> 00:30:07,022
that the police
were out to get him
425
00:30:07,153 --> 00:30:10,721
and you would not be able
to convince him otherwise.
426
00:30:10,852 --> 00:30:13,463
Was there concerns about
the police in Gananoque?
427
00:30:13,594 --> 00:30:15,161
What were they-
428
00:30:15,291 --> 00:30:17,946
Uh, yeah, I feel like they
had a vendetta against me.
429
00:30:18,077 --> 00:30:19,426
Right, mmhm.
430
00:30:19,556 --> 00:30:23,473
Because I spoke out against
them in previous years.
431
00:30:23,604 --> 00:30:26,389
And so there was a bit
of a vendetta there.
432
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,175
So they picked me up
on assault charges
433
00:30:29,305 --> 00:30:32,874
but I was hitting, I hit
the man in self-defence.
434
00:30:33,005 --> 00:30:33,875
Okay.
435
00:30:38,053 --> 00:30:42,231
JANET: Will has
a delusional disorder
as opposed to schizophrenia.
436
00:30:42,362 --> 00:30:46,061
He has the paranoid beliefs,
437
00:30:46,192 --> 00:30:50,892
but as far as his personality
goes, it remains the same.
438
00:30:51,023 --> 00:30:52,459
So are you gonna
be able to do that?
439
00:30:52,589 --> 00:30:55,723
Intellectually he's quite
a bright individual
440
00:30:55,854 --> 00:30:57,116
and with medications
and that sort of thing
441
00:30:57,246 --> 00:31:01,642
his delusions
can be controlled.
442
00:31:01,772 --> 00:31:04,210
I found myself
harassed by the police.
443
00:31:04,340 --> 00:31:07,082
They were giving me seatbelt
fines and stuff like that.
444
00:31:07,213 --> 00:31:08,518
Oh were they?Yeah.
445
00:31:08,649 --> 00:31:09,911
Okay, so do you, do you think
every time you went out
446
00:31:10,042 --> 00:31:12,958
into the community
they were,
447
00:31:13,088 --> 00:31:15,656
like they knew where you were
and they were following you?
448
00:31:15,786 --> 00:31:17,876
At times, yes.At times, okay.
449
00:31:18,006 --> 00:31:21,314
I had to watch what I was
driving and where I was going.
450
00:31:21,444 --> 00:31:24,056
I wonder why that was,
do you know?
451
00:31:24,186 --> 00:31:26,841
Um, it's kind
of complicated.
452
00:31:26,972 --> 00:31:27,102
Okay.
453
00:31:37,678 --> 00:31:40,115
Hi, is it Dixon?
454
00:31:40,246 --> 00:31:42,117
It is.Dixon, I'm Sean.
455
00:31:42,248 --> 00:31:44,554
Hi, Sean, nice to meet you.Pleased to meet you.
456
00:31:44,685 --> 00:31:46,643
I'm the meeter/greeter
for the car wash these days.
457
00:31:46,774 --> 00:31:48,254
Okay.
458
00:31:48,384 --> 00:31:50,604
Uh, you can take a seat
in the house, if you want.
459
00:31:50,734 --> 00:31:51,910
We haven't got any reading
material right now
460
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,217
like they were planning on,
461
00:31:55,348 --> 00:31:58,351
but I can make you a pot
of coffee if you want, or-
462
00:31:58,481 --> 00:32:00,788
I'm actually being picked up
but thanks for that.
463
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:03,747
Great, thanks.Alright.
464
00:32:07,969 --> 00:32:09,014
SEAN: I offered
to make coffee
465
00:32:09,144 --> 00:32:12,756
for the guys working
in the car wash.
466
00:32:12,887 --> 00:32:14,715
Jim?Yeah?
467
00:32:14,845 --> 00:32:16,630
You want a coffee?No thanks.
468
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,153
Alright.
469
00:32:22,679 --> 00:32:23,332
INTERVIEWER:
So you don't get involved
470
00:32:23,463 --> 00:32:26,509
in actually washing
of the cars?
471
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,556
No, I specifically
requested
472
00:32:29,686 --> 00:32:33,212
to stay away from
that kind of thing.
473
00:32:33,342 --> 00:32:34,996
How come?
474
00:32:35,127 --> 00:32:38,869
Ah, it's just I get tired.
475
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,394
And, uh...
476
00:32:41,524 --> 00:32:44,440
Too much bending,
it just tires me right out.
477
00:32:44,571 --> 00:32:47,704
I wouldn't be able to
do it two days in a row.
478
00:32:47,835 --> 00:32:49,793
My back'd hurt
and things like that.
479
00:32:54,102 --> 00:32:57,845
I need a desk job.
480
00:32:57,976 --> 00:32:58,977
I might as well
get comfortable.
481
00:33:07,724 --> 00:33:09,770
DR. AHMED: And generally
since the last time we met
482
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,642
how's your mood been?
483
00:33:12,773 --> 00:33:15,036
Um, good.
It's better.
484
00:33:15,167 --> 00:33:18,692
I kind of like my
job at the car wash.
485
00:33:18,822 --> 00:33:22,174
Okay.
486
00:33:22,304 --> 00:33:23,001
Um, gives me a reason
to get up in the morning
487
00:33:23,131 --> 00:33:25,916
and get out of bed.Yeah, yeah?
488
00:33:26,047 --> 00:33:32,488
[clock ticking]
489
00:33:36,623 --> 00:33:43,717
[loud thumping]
490
00:33:43,847 --> 00:33:49,027
[loud thumping]
491
00:33:54,989 --> 00:33:56,164
JANET: I was there
at a home visit
492
00:33:56,295 --> 00:33:58,514
and he decided that
he would practice
493
00:33:58,645 --> 00:34:02,692
some of his martial arts
skills on a punching bag.
494
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,701
As he got into that
exhibit more and more,
495
00:34:11,832 --> 00:34:13,703
it became quite evident
496
00:34:13,834 --> 00:34:15,836
that there was a lot
of anger in Will.
497
00:34:15,966 --> 00:34:20,014
He's a very strong individual,
and I actually was terrified.
498
00:34:20,145 --> 00:34:21,276
[thumping]
499
00:34:21,407 --> 00:34:23,191
Jab.
500
00:34:34,942 --> 00:34:36,465
The police have
always been something
501
00:34:36,596 --> 00:34:38,728
that Will has been
quite paranoid about.
502
00:34:38,859 --> 00:34:40,165
Now the problem
with the police is
503
00:34:40,295 --> 00:34:43,646
is that they keep
calling this assault.
504
00:34:43,777 --> 00:34:48,521
But they're not investigating
what happened before that
505
00:34:48,651 --> 00:34:50,827
to anger me to
take those actions.
506
00:34:53,874 --> 00:34:54,918
INTERVIEWER: You feel
it was self-defence?
507
00:34:55,049 --> 00:34:56,094
Yeah, I feel it was
self def--self-defence.
508
00:34:59,662 --> 00:35:01,011
JANET: I was actually
quite terrified for him.
509
00:35:05,277 --> 00:35:08,062
Will's offences were
relatively minor assaults.
510
00:35:10,804 --> 00:35:15,113
So he's far more a danger to
himself than he is to others.
511
00:35:17,593 --> 00:35:20,422
If he felt he had to defend
himself with the police,
512
00:35:20,553 --> 00:35:24,513
if he went to assault them
or threaten them at all,
513
00:35:24,644 --> 00:35:27,690
he would be in
danger because
514
00:35:27,821 --> 00:35:32,086
the police
carry weapons.
515
00:35:32,217 --> 00:35:34,567
And there may be some
dire consequences
516
00:35:34,697 --> 00:35:36,656
come out of that kind
of activity with Will.
517
00:35:36,786 --> 00:35:51,366
[♪]
518
00:35:51,497 --> 00:35:54,804
SEAN: This is my anti-
psychotic medication.
519
00:35:54,935 --> 00:35:58,634
It's called Olanzepine.
520
00:35:58,765 --> 00:36:01,681
And it's the only thing
521
00:36:01,811 --> 00:36:06,164
standing between my sanity
and complete madness.
522
00:36:14,128 --> 00:36:15,825
INTERVIEWER: If he stopped
taking his medication,
523
00:36:15,956 --> 00:36:17,349
how long might it take
524
00:36:17,479 --> 00:36:23,181
for him to relapse
into a psychotic state?
525
00:36:23,311 --> 00:36:24,878
JANET: Being generous
I'd say about two weeks.
526
00:36:25,008 --> 00:36:27,663
And that's being generous.
527
00:36:27,794 --> 00:36:29,839
It probably would be
shorter than that,
528
00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:33,800
but in two weeks' time
I believe that he probably
529
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:35,367
could become quite psychotic.
530
00:36:38,718 --> 00:36:39,371
INTERVIEWER:
And potentially dangerous.
531
00:36:39,501 --> 00:36:41,024
JANET:
Potentially dangerous.
532
00:36:48,031 --> 00:36:49,076
INTERVIEWER: What would
you like to see happen
533
00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:51,339
to Sean Clifton?
534
00:36:51,470 --> 00:36:57,302
That there's a law passed
that if ever he is free,
535
00:36:57,432 --> 00:37:00,392
that he has to be subject to
take medication regularly.
536
00:37:00,522 --> 00:37:03,221
Regular blood tests
to ensure that he is,
537
00:37:03,351 --> 00:37:07,355
because who says he
won't do it again?
538
00:37:07,486 --> 00:37:10,402
Just knowing that
he's kind of free.
539
00:37:10,532 --> 00:37:12,186
He's still monitored
540
00:37:12,317 --> 00:37:15,494
but not as much as
being in the hospital.
541
00:37:15,624 --> 00:37:23,806
So it's scary to think that,
you know, he's out and about.
542
00:37:23,937 --> 00:37:27,027
I was afraid, I was
afraid for myself
543
00:37:27,157 --> 00:37:30,030
and I always think
that everybody says,
544
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,510
"Oh, it was just a
random, you know,
545
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,556
you were just there at the wrong
place, at the wrong time."
546
00:37:34,687 --> 00:37:38,212
But I guess I just don't
understand what they're thinking
547
00:37:38,343 --> 00:37:42,912
and could he come back,
could he be angry at me?
548
00:37:43,043 --> 00:37:44,827
Doesn't have to be
for a logical reason,
549
00:37:44,958 --> 00:37:49,354
just maybe being that he was,
you know, sent there,
550
00:37:49,484 --> 00:37:51,660
maybe he holds grudges,
I don't...
551
00:37:53,227 --> 00:37:56,578
[indistinct chatter]
552
00:37:56,709 --> 00:38:00,147
There are so many people
with schizophrenia,
553
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:04,586
bipolar disorder, who carry
on their day-to-day life
554
00:38:04,717 --> 00:38:06,153
without necessarily
committing violence.
555
00:38:09,374 --> 00:38:12,507
Mental illness is just
one of the factors
556
00:38:12,638 --> 00:38:15,815
that we can manage
successfully.
557
00:38:19,688 --> 00:38:25,346
In two weeks I have a hearing
with the Ontario Review Board.
558
00:38:27,435 --> 00:38:29,002
Um...
559
00:38:31,265 --> 00:38:33,093
It's kind of like a parole
hearing for a mental patient.
560
00:38:37,445 --> 00:38:42,581
This year I'm sort of
hoping for a step forward
561
00:38:42,711 --> 00:38:47,499
and receive a
conditional discharge.
562
00:38:47,629 --> 00:38:52,460
That means there's less control
over my personal life.
563
00:38:55,289 --> 00:38:56,769
DR. AHMED:
Essentially, you know
564
00:38:56,899 --> 00:38:59,206
that one of the concerns
the review board has
565
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,990
and that we all have, and
of course you do have that,
566
00:39:01,121 --> 00:39:04,559
is that we want
you to be stable.
567
00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:06,561
We don't want what
happened to repeat itself.
568
00:39:06,692 --> 00:39:08,607
Right.
569
00:39:08,737 --> 00:39:10,522
Any unusual experiences at all?
570
00:39:10,652 --> 00:39:13,525
Um, none.
571
00:39:13,655 --> 00:39:15,701
Voices?No.
572
00:39:15,831 --> 00:39:19,269
Or this concern that you
may be followed by people?
573
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,707
No, nothing
like that, no.Okay.
574
00:39:21,837 --> 00:39:24,492
Tell me, have you been taking
your medication regularly?
575
00:39:24,623 --> 00:39:26,059
Oh yeah.
576
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:37,897
There is no cure for
paranoid schizophrenia.
577
00:39:38,027 --> 00:39:40,465
This is a lifelong process
578
00:39:40,595 --> 00:39:42,945
that Sean has to go through
579
00:39:43,076 --> 00:39:47,254
to maintain his stability
and his daily functioning.
580
00:39:50,083 --> 00:39:53,129
It's not nice to
have to take pills.
581
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:54,870
I'm hoping there'll
be a day in the future
582
00:39:55,001 --> 00:39:57,830
when I won't need it
but the doctor I think
583
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,832
[clears throat]
would tell me
584
00:39:59,962 --> 00:40:02,225
that I'll need it for
the rest of my life.
585
00:40:02,356 --> 00:40:05,272
INTERVIEWER:
How do you feel about that?
586
00:40:05,403 --> 00:40:13,019
Well...
587
00:40:13,149 --> 00:40:16,718
I guess I'll have
to cooperate.
588
00:40:16,849 --> 00:40:20,200
They'll, they'll haul me
into the hospital
589
00:40:20,330 --> 00:40:23,899
if they suspect I'm not
taking my medication.
590
00:40:24,030 --> 00:40:25,466
Um...
591
00:40:29,862 --> 00:40:30,993
INTERVIEWER:
What about if you obtained
592
00:40:31,124 --> 00:40:32,865
an absolute discharge
593
00:40:32,995 --> 00:40:33,605
with no requirements
to take -
594
00:40:33,735 --> 00:40:39,480
Oh, I'll take the pills.
595
00:40:39,611 --> 00:40:42,178
Any other concern,
any other anxiety
596
00:40:42,309 --> 00:40:44,180
with regards to the
Review Board hearing?
597
00:40:44,311 --> 00:40:47,053
Oh just the usual
case of nerves.
598
00:40:47,183 --> 00:40:48,228
Yeah.Yeah.
599
00:40:48,358 --> 00:40:49,925
Alright, then.
600
00:40:50,056 --> 00:40:51,449
Keep up the good job.
601
00:40:51,579 --> 00:40:52,972
No drug use, no alcohol,
602
00:40:53,102 --> 00:40:55,496
continue with your medication,
603
00:40:55,627 --> 00:40:58,456
and I wish you well for
tomorrow then at the board.
604
00:40:58,586 --> 00:41:00,327
Okay, Dr. Ahmed.
605
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:01,459
Okay, thanks a lot.Thank you.
606
00:41:01,589 --> 00:41:03,765
Alright.
607
00:41:07,682 --> 00:41:15,473
[♪]
608
00:41:15,603 --> 00:41:18,432
I'm the father of
the victim in this case
609
00:41:18,563 --> 00:41:24,351
and I attend the Ontario
Review Board hearings annually.
610
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:30,879
And I was told very early on
that it was important for me
611
00:41:31,010 --> 00:41:35,188
to stay involved
in this process
612
00:41:35,318 --> 00:41:37,233
and I'm very glad I did.
613
00:41:43,109 --> 00:41:45,807
We all know that
if patients like Sean
614
00:41:45,938 --> 00:41:48,810
do not take their meds,
615
00:41:48,941 --> 00:41:51,987
some of them decompensate
rather quickly.
616
00:41:52,118 --> 00:41:53,162
Could be a week,
it could be a month,
617
00:41:53,293 --> 00:41:57,515
it could be two months.
618
00:41:57,645 --> 00:42:00,300
If he's got a complete
discharge and he's in society
619
00:42:00,430 --> 00:42:04,173
and he decides that he
doesn't need his medication,
620
00:42:04,304 --> 00:42:06,567
the same thing that
happened to Julie
621
00:42:06,698 --> 00:42:09,004
could happen to anybody.
622
00:42:09,135 --> 00:42:11,616
And this is my plight.
623
00:42:11,746 --> 00:42:14,009
I don't want this to
happen to anybody else.
624
00:42:17,230 --> 00:42:18,666
NOELLA: I never went
to the hearings.
625
00:42:18,797 --> 00:42:21,190
I had worries,
626
00:42:21,321 --> 00:42:22,496
I feared Sean.
627
00:42:22,627 --> 00:42:24,106
I couldn't bring myself
to face Sean Clifton.
628
00:42:31,505 --> 00:42:34,769
ANDY: Sean is not
able to this day
629
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:37,163
to come within 250
kilometres of Cornwall.
630
00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:42,124
What if he comes
back here
631
00:42:42,255 --> 00:42:43,473
and comes after her,
you know?
632
00:42:45,693 --> 00:42:48,261
Alright, okay.
633
00:42:48,391 --> 00:42:52,134
So I don't know what is taking
that, the previous hearing...
634
00:42:52,265 --> 00:42:55,050
SEAN: Well the father of the
victim was there every year
635
00:42:55,181 --> 00:42:58,445
except last year and
I think the year before.
636
00:42:58,576 --> 00:43:01,491
He only missed twice.
637
00:43:01,622 --> 00:43:04,364
But this was the first time
I've seen the mother there.
638
00:43:15,723 --> 00:43:16,985
I guess it doesn't
help my arguments
639
00:43:17,116 --> 00:43:21,816
for getting back to being
a free man when they're there.
640
00:43:21,947 --> 00:43:32,653
[♪]
641
00:43:32,784 --> 00:43:34,916
SEAN: Well after the board
they don't just come out
642
00:43:35,047 --> 00:43:39,399
and give you a decision
right there on the spot.
643
00:43:39,529 --> 00:43:41,140
It usually takes
a couple of months.
644
00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:54,022
ANDY:
I asked the board
645
00:43:54,153 --> 00:43:57,852
if I could off the record
have a chat with him.
646
00:43:57,983 --> 00:44:00,986
And I explained to them
647
00:44:01,116 --> 00:44:06,513
that as a Christian
they -
648
00:44:06,644 --> 00:44:08,602
I wouldn't feel
right in my skin
649
00:44:08,733 --> 00:44:12,954
if I didn't do everything
possible to make sure
650
00:44:13,085 --> 00:44:16,523
that they don't go out
and attack your daughter,
651
00:44:16,654 --> 00:44:18,046
your daughter,
your daughter.
652
00:44:27,490 --> 00:44:29,667
SEAN:
Well, my review board
653
00:44:29,797 --> 00:44:33,714
didn't go very well.
654
00:44:33,845 --> 00:44:35,585
Um...
655
00:44:35,716 --> 00:44:37,152
They brought up things
from the long dead past.
656
00:44:39,502 --> 00:44:43,681
Read police reports that
were full of untruths.
657
00:44:43,811 --> 00:44:47,510
Overall they made me sound
like a bloody, a serial killer,
658
00:44:47,641 --> 00:44:55,214
like this is--like I don't
understand anything or, ah...
659
00:44:55,344 --> 00:45:01,176
Like I just don't know how to
act, like I'm not, you know,
660
00:45:01,307 --> 00:45:05,572
like I don't know how to act in
society or something like that.
661
00:45:05,703 --> 00:45:09,271
I wasn't half the madman
they suggested I was.
662
00:45:09,402 --> 00:45:12,492
When the Crown made
his closing arguments,
663
00:45:12,622 --> 00:45:20,239
he portrayed me like twice
the madman I really am.
664
00:45:20,369 --> 00:45:22,023
I'd like to know
where those,
665
00:45:22,154 --> 00:45:26,375
who made those
reports to the police.
666
00:45:26,506 --> 00:45:32,730
Because there were
so many inaccuracies.
667
00:45:34,166 --> 00:45:36,211
I never said the only good
woman is a dead woman,
668
00:45:36,342 --> 00:45:39,998
it's ridiculous,
it was utterly ridiculous,
669
00:45:40,128 --> 00:45:45,003
the kind of things
they said I said.
670
00:45:45,133 --> 00:45:45,960
INTERVIEWER: And
you're not denying
671
00:45:46,091 --> 00:45:47,527
the fact that
the index offence
672
00:45:47,657 --> 00:45:49,442
was an attempted murder?
673
00:45:49,572 --> 00:45:56,666
Uh, I don't know if
I really had intent to kill.
674
00:45:56,797 --> 00:46:02,455
It's like I was just driven
insane from an impulse.
675
00:46:02,585 --> 00:46:05,632
Um...
676
00:46:05,763 --> 00:46:09,723
I don't really know if I
intended to murder anybody.
677
00:46:13,292 --> 00:46:16,469
How would you describe
your mental state?
678
00:46:16,599 --> 00:46:20,865
Uh, I was a mess.
679
00:46:20,995 --> 00:46:23,476
Uh, the day of
the index offence
680
00:46:23,606 --> 00:46:33,268
it had been years and years
of the rituals and, um,
681
00:46:33,399 --> 00:46:37,229
I'd finally made it downtown
and I was very fed up
682
00:46:37,359 --> 00:46:44,105
and frustrated and
not in my right mind.
683
00:46:44,236 --> 00:46:46,194
You're saying you
were not sane.
684
00:46:46,325 --> 00:46:48,022
Yeah, I would say that.
685
00:46:48,153 --> 00:46:50,285
I was not, not playing
with a full deck
686
00:46:50,416 --> 00:46:52,026
at that point.
[chuckles]
687
00:46:53,985 --> 00:46:56,117
INTERVIEWER:
If Sean Clifton
688
00:46:56,248 --> 00:46:58,424
were to obtain
an absolute discharge,
689
00:46:58,554 --> 00:46:59,381
it means that he
would be released
690
00:46:59,512 --> 00:47:02,950
from the hospital
with no controls?
691
00:47:03,081 --> 00:47:06,171
He would be released
with no controls, yes.
692
00:47:06,301 --> 00:47:08,347
He would not be required
to report to anyone?
693
00:47:08,477 --> 00:47:12,830
He would not be required
to report to anyone, yes.
694
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,485
He would not be required
to take his meds?
695
00:47:16,616 --> 00:47:18,444
He would not be forced, if
required means being forced
696
00:47:18,574 --> 00:47:24,015
to take his meds, he would
not be required to do so.
697
00:47:24,145 --> 00:47:26,844
He could get on a bus and
just disappear somewhere?
698
00:47:26,974 --> 00:47:29,411
He could get on the
bus and go anywhere.
699
00:47:29,542 --> 00:47:31,283
Do you think it's
likely that Sean
700
00:47:31,413 --> 00:47:33,981

an absolute discharge?
701
00:47:34,112 --> 00:47:37,985
Yes, it's very
possible that some day
702
00:47:38,116 --> 00:47:39,204
Sean will be
discharged absolutely.
703

I don't have that
much to say.

Not to me you don't.
705

But you still blame me for
everything that was said.
706
00:48:07,406 --> 00:48:10,322
I blame you, I blame
Mother and I blame April.
707
00:48:10,452 --> 00:48:14,674
April called me a criminal
and she called me a bum.
708
00:48:14,804 --> 00:48:18,417
So after I had read what
April had did to me,
709
00:48:18,547 --> 00:48:21,594
I hit April and then that's
when you jumped in the way
710
00:48:21,724 --> 00:48:25,424
trying to defend April and
I hit you in self-defence.

You attacked me as if I
was going to attack you.

I wasn't, I was going
to stop a fight.
713
00:48:30,646 --> 00:48:33,258
You were going to throw me
physically out the door.
714

That's not, that's not going
to hit you or anything else.

That's called self-defence.

If you lay your hands on me
723

it's self-defence.

WILF: My understanding with
those guns, they were sawed off,
734
00:49:11,339 --> 00:49:13,298
they were going to be
used in an armed robbery-
735
00:49:13,428 --> 00:49:15,691
Did I saw them off?I have no idea, I wasn't there.
736
00:49:15,822 --> 00:49:17,389
No I didn't.
737
00:49:17,519 --> 00:49:19,217
When I'm 15 years old,
yes,
738
00:49:19,347 --> 00:49:20,958
I let someone throw
a bag in my closet
739
00:49:21,088 --> 00:49:24,048
and suddenly I'm a
gun-toting maniac.
740

But that's the way
the law saw it.
741

That's the way the law saw
it but they were wrong.

00:49:55,514 --> 00:50:01,389
And I'd like to
get back on track.
747
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,480
I had a dictionary,
a pocket Oxford dictionary
748
00:50:05,611 --> 00:50:10,268
that was always by
my side back in Cornwall.
749

This was before my index
offence and everything.
750

the dictionary at my side,

with it on my nightstand.

781
00:52:12,259 --> 00:52:13,869
You know, like last
year I was thinking

00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,002

783
00:52:17,830 --> 00:52:19,092
Yeah, there's
a need for electric car

for a poor man, yeah.
785
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:27,448
SEAN: Back in about 1990
when I was half sane
786
00:52:27,579 --> 00:52:30,321
I took a course in the
local community college
787
00:52:30,451 --> 00:52:32,323
and within the program
788
00:52:32,453 --> 00:52:34,455
there was an introductory
to computers course.
789
00:52:34,586 --> 00:52:38,242
And it was very basic,
they started explaining things
790
00:52:38,372 --> 00:52:40,331
right from the start
about, you know,
791
00:52:40,461 --> 00:52:44,117
this is the monitor,
this is the keyboard,
792
00:52:44,248 --> 00:52:47,120
inside the computer
there's a hard drive
793
00:52:47,251 --> 00:52:49,340
and what happens when
you put a floppy disc
794
00:52:49,470 --> 00:52:51,472
into the disc drive.
795
00:52:51,603 --> 00:52:58,958
And then I got sick and
had to forget about school
796
00:52:59,088 --> 00:53:03,223
and computers as well.
797
00:53:03,354 --> 00:53:06,183

to be challenging and, uh,

exactly how he would write it.

00:57:46,114 --> 00:57:49,814
and he's going to have
his injection this morning.
866
00:57:49,944 --> 00:57:52,164
The reason he's getting
an injectable medication
867
00:57:52,294 --> 00:57:57,038
is Mr. Bilow has very little
insight into his illness
868
00:57:57,169 --> 00:57:59,258
and he believes that he
doesn't have a mental illness,
869
00:57:59,388 --> 00:58:03,610
so it's important that
he have that injection.
870
00:58:03,741 --> 00:58:06,787
If he decides that
he doesn't want to,
871
00:58:06,918 --> 00:58:08,876
Mr. Bilow would have to
come back to the hospital.
872
00:58:16,841 --> 00:58:18,756
Do you know why you're
on your injection?
873
00:58:18,886 --> 00:58:20,148
I don't know.You have no idea
what that's for?
874
00:58:20,279 --> 00:58:23,282
I just figure
the doctor is mean.
875
00:58:23,412 --> 00:58:24,631
Okay, you figure the doctor's
mean and he wants me
876
00:58:24,762 --> 00:58:26,764
to come in here and give you
an injection every month?
877
00:58:26,894 --> 00:58:27,242
Yeah.Okay.
878
00:58:30,637 --> 00:58:32,813
Any concerns?
879
00:58:32,944 --> 00:58:39,124
It's a violation of my rights
that I get injections.
880
00:58:39,254 --> 00:58:41,779
Like if I'm injected
with needles
881
00:58:41,909 --> 00:58:44,433
or if I'm forced to
take oral medication.
882
00:58:44,564 --> 00:58:46,784
Okay.
883
00:58:46,914 --> 00:58:49,047
They're putting drugs
in my body and I don't-
884
00:58:49,177 --> 00:58:51,092
my opinion, I don't think that
they have the right to do that.
885
00:58:51,223 --> 00:58:53,617
Okay.
886
00:58:53,747 --> 00:58:58,404
The doctor phoned me
and he said,
887
00:58:58,535 --> 00:59:01,668
"Your son's not responding to
the medication we've got him on.
888
00:59:01,799 --> 00:59:03,627
"Do I have your permission
to change him over
889
00:59:03,757 --> 00:59:04,541
to an injection?"
890
00:59:04,671 --> 00:59:06,847
And I said yes.
891
00:59:09,807 --> 00:59:12,331
Okay?Yeah.
892
00:59:17,292 --> 00:59:19,033
Just hold that
for a minute.
893
00:59:36,747 --> 00:59:37,486
DR. AHMED: He was obviously
very disappointed
894
00:59:37,617 --> 00:59:39,227
at the outcome
895
00:59:39,358 --> 00:59:43,188
of the last hearing
because he had requested
896
00:59:43,318 --> 00:59:46,495
to have a conditional
discharge.
897
00:59:46,626 --> 00:59:50,848
As to risk, I do not believe
there's any change in his risk.
898
00:59:50,978 --> 00:59:54,068
His risk is manageable
under current conditions.
899
00:59:54,199 --> 00:59:55,853
He's taking his medication.
900
00:59:55,983 --> 00:59:57,855
Psychosis well controlled.
901
00:59:57,985 --> 01:00:00,945
He's insightful.
902
01:00:01,075 --> 01:00:04,296
So overall I'm quite pleased.
903
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:11,433
JANET:
He's very honest.
904
01:00:11,564 --> 01:00:14,959
Talking to Sean about
the events of the day,
905
01:00:15,089 --> 01:00:18,005
there is that remorse there,
906
01:00:18,136 --> 01:00:22,183
and he is worried that this
is going to happen again.
907
01:00:22,314 --> 01:00:24,577
He's expressing
his anxiety to us
908
01:00:24,708 --> 01:00:26,753
so that we're going
to be able to help him
909
01:00:26,884 --> 01:00:30,017
so that he doesn't
go and reoffend
910
01:00:30,148 --> 01:00:31,802
or go out there and
hurt somebody else
911
01:00:31,932 --> 01:00:33,542
because it really isn't
something that he wants to do.
912
01:00:35,675 --> 01:00:36,633
INTERVIEWER:
Are you ever afraid
913
01:00:36,763 --> 01:00:42,116
that you could commit
a violent act again?
914
01:00:42,247 --> 01:00:44,728
I never feel like it.
915
01:00:44,858 --> 01:00:47,295
I never feel like
committing a violent act.
916
01:00:52,431 --> 01:00:54,607
But stranger things
have happened.
917
01:00:54,738 --> 01:00:56,348
I don't think I will.
918
01:00:56,478 --> 01:00:58,089
I really don't think I will
919
01:00:58,219 --> 01:01:00,265
but I didn't think
I'd ever really do
920
01:01:00,395 --> 01:01:04,573
what I did that day
at the shopping mall.
921
01:01:04,704 --> 01:01:07,098
How long has it been
since you committed-
922
01:01:07,228 --> 01:01:09,404
Twelve years.
923
01:01:09,535 --> 01:01:11,015
And in twelve years
no further violence?
924
01:01:11,145 --> 01:01:14,932
No, none.
925
01:01:15,062 --> 01:01:18,370
I sort of had something
I've been thinking about.
926
01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:21,155
Uh...
927
01:01:21,286 --> 01:01:24,898
I've been thinking about
a letter of apology
928
01:01:25,029 --> 01:01:26,857
to the victims
of my index offence.
929
01:01:26,987 --> 01:01:28,467
Oh, okay.
930
01:01:28,597 --> 01:01:29,294
I don't have a clue
where to start.
931
01:01:29,424 --> 01:01:31,513
Okay.
932
01:01:31,644 --> 01:01:36,518
I'm not sure how to word it
and things, to actually do it,
933
01:01:36,649 --> 01:01:37,868
I'm not sure how
to actually do it,
934
01:01:37,998 --> 01:01:40,348
I'm not sure how to word it.
935
01:01:40,479 --> 01:01:44,309
I think it's going to be
stressful to write this thing.
936
01:01:44,439 --> 01:01:45,266
Absolutely.
937
01:01:45,397 --> 01:01:46,790
Even with the help
and everything
938
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,097
it's going to be stressful.
939
01:01:50,228 --> 01:01:55,450
But I think it's something
that, well, its time has come
940
01:01:55,581 --> 01:02:00,412
and I don't, I don't think I
want to put it off any longer.
941
01:02:00,542 --> 01:02:02,936
Okay.
942
01:02:03,067 --> 01:02:05,852
Right now if you could
think of one thing
943
01:02:05,983 --> 01:02:09,160
you would like to
say to the victim
944
01:02:09,290 --> 01:02:11,031
as a result of your actions,
what would it be?
945
01:02:11,162 --> 01:02:12,163
Okay, the thing,
the thing,
946
01:02:12,293 --> 01:02:15,166
the first thing that
comes to my mind is that
947
01:02:15,296 --> 01:02:19,692
she's afraid to go out
in public anymore,
948
01:02:19,823 --> 01:02:22,390
this victim is afraid
to go out in public.
949
01:02:22,521 --> 01:02:29,484
I'd just like to tell her it
was, she wasn't singled out,
950
01:02:29,615 --> 01:02:37,318
it was just a random,
uh, thing, a random act.
951
01:02:37,449 --> 01:02:43,455
Before that day I didn't really
feel anger towards anybody.
952
01:02:43,585 --> 01:02:52,203
But I did feel, uh...carried
around a lot of pain.
953
01:02:52,333 --> 01:02:56,729
Uh, but I didn't feel
like hurting anybody.
954
01:02:56,860 --> 01:02:59,471
It was a kind of
a spontaneous act.
955
01:02:59,601 --> 01:03:02,256
Uh...
956
01:03:07,131 --> 01:03:10,961
Even that day I just,
I kind of lost my mind
957
01:03:11,091 --> 01:03:14,573
and I just, it was just, I...
958
01:03:14,703 --> 01:03:16,183
I, I just had to do it and...
959
01:03:22,842 --> 01:03:27,412
I just kind of had
to do it, I guess.
960
01:03:27,542 --> 01:03:29,240
I was pretty sick.
961
01:03:44,733 --> 01:04:07,104
[♪]
962
01:04:07,234 --> 01:04:12,370
This drug is called respiradol
and it's an anti-psychotic.
963
01:04:16,809 --> 01:04:19,943
And I take, by injections
I take palo-peridone
964
01:04:20,073 --> 01:04:23,120
which is the same as respiradol
when it gets into the body.
965
01:04:27,515 --> 01:04:29,169
I wasn't taking my pills,
966
01:04:29,300 --> 01:04:32,433
I was hiding them
under my tongue before.
967
01:04:32,564 --> 01:04:34,740
INTERVIEWER:
And why was that?
968
01:04:34,871 --> 01:04:37,438
Because I didn't agree with
them forcing me to take drugs.
969
01:04:41,094 --> 01:04:43,618
JANET: Since there's been a
change in Will's medications
970
01:04:43,749 --> 01:04:46,186
six months to a year ago,
971
01:04:46,317 --> 01:04:47,840
there's been a significant
change in Will
972
01:04:47,971 --> 01:04:51,496
and how he's managing.
973
01:04:51,626 --> 01:04:53,541
He does have
a long way to go
974
01:04:53,672 --> 01:04:57,458
but he's progressing and
I think he's doing okay.
975
01:05:04,422 --> 01:05:05,902
Well,
[exhales deeply]
976
01:05:06,032 --> 01:05:09,296
I sat down with
my outreach nurse
977
01:05:09,427 --> 01:05:11,690
from the Brockville psych
978
01:05:11,820 --> 01:05:14,693
and she and I
composed a little,
979
01:05:14,823 --> 01:05:18,784
uh, a little
letter of apology.
980
01:05:18,915 --> 01:05:20,003
It's kind of short
and to the point.
981
01:05:20,133 --> 01:05:23,702
But what I would
really prefer would be
982
01:05:23,832 --> 01:05:26,574
to make the apology in person
983
01:05:26,705 --> 01:05:31,840
and give them a chance to
respond and everything and...
984
01:05:31,971 --> 01:05:35,366
If they're not completely
averse to the idea,
985
01:05:35,496 --> 01:05:37,150
if they're not
completely offended
986
01:05:37,281 --> 01:05:40,371
by my presence
and things like that.
987
01:05:40,501 --> 01:05:45,985
I've got it in writing
but I think if I could I would,
988
01:05:46,116 --> 01:05:49,336
I'd do it face to face.
989
01:05:49,467 --> 01:05:51,556
If they don't find it
completely offensive.
990
01:06:01,131 --> 01:06:03,698
As much as I know
that it's just
991
01:06:03,829 --> 01:06:05,396
me at the wrong place
at the wrong time,
992
01:06:05,526 --> 01:06:08,312
why is there, you know,
why me, I guess,
993
01:06:08,442 --> 01:06:10,227
if that makes any sense.
994
01:06:12,969 --> 01:06:15,362
I guess there's a lot of
different questions, you know.
995
01:06:15,493 --> 01:06:19,497
What is it that made
him lash out, you know?
996
01:06:20,889 --> 01:06:22,152
You know.
997
01:06:22,282 --> 01:06:24,415
But like again, I don't
understand his sickness
998
01:06:24,545 --> 01:06:30,769
so I don't know everything
about his situation or why.
999
01:06:30,899 --> 01:06:34,991
So it's all little questions
I guess I would have.
1000
01:06:35,121 --> 01:06:37,123
It was pretty clear that,
what he had done.
1001
01:06:37,254 --> 01:06:41,171
There were several
witnesses to the event.
1002
01:06:41,301 --> 01:06:43,086
So that wasn't the matter,
1003
01:06:43,216 --> 01:06:44,565
but the question is
why did this happen?
1004
01:06:44,696 --> 01:06:45,523
For many years he
lived in the community
1005
01:06:45,653 --> 01:06:47,699
and he never engaged
in such activity.
1006
01:06:47,829 --> 01:06:49,570
So why on this particular
night did this occur?
1007
01:06:49,701 --> 01:07:03,541
[♪]
1008
01:07:03,671 --> 01:07:08,372
I don't do these kind of things
on a regular basis, John.
1009
01:07:08,502 --> 01:07:14,639
Things were terribly wrong
that day in a number of areas.
1010
01:07:14,769 --> 01:07:21,385
I was just a weak little
kid, kind of sickly
1011
01:07:21,515 --> 01:07:23,474
and really hurting somebody -
1012
01:07:23,604 --> 01:07:27,695
I was more picked on,
picked on and put upon
1013
01:07:27,826 --> 01:07:30,698
than I was an
aggressor, for sure.
1014
01:07:30,829 --> 01:07:33,310
I was not aggressive.
1015
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,573
That was not part of
my make-up or anything.
1016
01:07:41,753 --> 01:07:44,669
I was born in
Cornwall, Ontario.
1017
01:07:44,799 --> 01:07:46,888
It's right across
the St. Lawrence River
1018
01:07:47,019 --> 01:07:49,413
from New York State.
1019
01:07:52,851 --> 01:07:57,029
Well, I'd sort of considered
suicide at a young age.
1020
01:08:04,254 --> 01:08:09,302
On occasion my mother could do
some very disturbing things.
1021
01:08:09,433 --> 01:08:12,175
My mom used to play
dead with my brothers
1022
01:08:12,305 --> 01:08:13,959
when they were
just little boys.
1023
01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:16,266
Frightened the hell
out of them.
1024
01:08:19,791 --> 01:08:24,361
My mother would on occasion
threaten to commit suicide
1025
01:08:24,491 --> 01:08:26,102
by jumping off the Seaway
International Bridge.
1026
01:08:31,194 --> 01:08:34,240
She used to just say that
she would take the bridge
1027
01:08:34,371 --> 01:08:37,896
if she didn't get her
way about something.
1028
01:08:45,512 --> 01:08:50,387
Trips downtown could be
difficult and painful.
1029
01:08:50,517 --> 01:08:51,953
I was sort of used
to being laughed at
1030
01:08:52,084 --> 01:08:53,172
by kids younger than me.
1031
01:08:59,831 --> 01:09:01,311
In grammar school
1032
01:09:01,441 --> 01:09:05,619
I was the slowest runner
in baseball, you know.
1033
01:09:05,750 --> 01:09:10,102
Playing a game of softball
I couldn't hit,
1034
01:09:10,233 --> 01:09:12,670
I couldn't run
and I couldn't field.
1035
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,847
I was just hopeless.
1036
01:09:15,977 --> 01:09:20,460
Couldn't climb to the highest
rung on the monkey bars.
1037
01:09:20,591 --> 01:09:22,636
Couldn't get right up there
on the highest rung,
1038
01:09:22,767 --> 01:09:24,856
couldn't do that.
1039
01:09:24,986 --> 01:09:27,380
The other kids'd get up there
1040
01:09:27,511 --> 01:09:30,644
and look down and
laugh at me and stuff.
1041
01:09:30,775 --> 01:09:32,603
I couldn't climb up.
1042
01:09:36,563 --> 01:09:42,569
I was singled out
for being picked on.
1043
01:09:42,700 --> 01:09:47,444
Bullied and insulted
1044
01:09:47,574 --> 01:09:52,362
and chased home
after school or...
1045
01:09:52,492 --> 01:09:58,542
prevented from getting home
and things like that.
1046
01:09:58,672 --> 01:10:02,763
And I was just the strangest kid
anybody had ever seen, I guess.
1047
01:10:14,645 --> 01:10:15,863
WILL: I thought I was
under surveillance
1048
01:10:15,994 --> 01:10:20,651
by the police department.
1049
01:10:20,781 --> 01:10:25,046
I figured the police were
going to come and arrest me.
1050
01:10:25,177 --> 01:10:28,572
I feel like they had
a vendetta against me.
1051
01:10:28,702 --> 01:10:30,356
INTERVIEWER:
And so you fled
1052
01:10:30,487 --> 01:10:31,836
and you lived
in the woods for awhile?
1053
01:10:31,966 --> 01:10:33,054
Yes.
1054
01:10:36,884 --> 01:10:38,799
INTERVIEWER: How long
were you out in the woods?
1055
01:10:40,758 --> 01:10:43,804
Uh, I'd say three years.
1056
01:10:43,935 --> 01:10:46,242
That long?Yeah.
1057
01:10:50,985 --> 01:10:53,074
INTERVIEWER:
And you were 100% convinced
1058
01:10:53,205 --> 01:10:57,644
that there was no element of
mental illness in any of this?
1059
01:10:57,775 --> 01:11:03,955
Uh, I wouldn't say 100%.
1060
01:11:04,085 --> 01:11:06,218
You have some doubts?
1061
01:11:06,349 --> 01:11:08,829
Uh, I'm not sure about
some of it, yeah.
1062
01:11:15,140 --> 01:11:17,969
LORNA:
He's come such a long way.
1063
01:11:21,668 --> 01:11:23,931
The hospital basically
saved his life
1064
01:11:24,062 --> 01:11:26,499
because somebody
might have stabbed him
1065
01:11:26,630 --> 01:11:28,109
or, you never know,
1066
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,112
or he might have stabbed
somebody else, you know,
1067
01:11:31,243 --> 01:11:33,245
and there would have
been even more trouble.
1068
01:11:33,376 --> 01:11:36,944
And he certainly
acts so much diff...
1069
01:11:37,075 --> 01:11:38,772
Well, he acts more
now like a man.
1070
01:11:38,903 --> 01:11:41,427
WILF:
Two years ago
1071
01:11:41,558 --> 01:11:41,949
this conversation could
never have happened.
1072
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,474
Couldn't have happened.
1073
01:11:44,604 --> 01:11:45,997
INTERVIEWER:
Really?
1074
01:11:46,127 --> 01:11:48,782
Would have been impossible.
1075
01:11:48,913 --> 01:11:51,742
Those two would have been
screaming at one another,
1076
01:11:51,872 --> 01:11:54,266
one would jump up
off the chair.
1077
01:11:54,397 --> 01:11:57,661
I'd just be fearing
for my life.[chuckles]
1078
01:11:57,791 --> 01:11:59,489
It would have been awful.
1079
01:11:59,619 --> 01:12:04,624
You could not sit like this
and discuss, you know...
1080
01:12:04,755 --> 01:12:06,670
I'm right, aren't I?
1081
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:07,671
Yeah.
1082
01:12:18,682 --> 01:12:21,946
SEAN: Been chasing women since
I was about four years old.
1083
01:12:22,076 --> 01:12:24,470
Haven't had a lot of success.
1084
01:12:27,430 --> 01:12:29,954
I had one girlfriend
1085
01:12:30,084 --> 01:12:32,609
and when things kind of
went sour between us...
1086
01:12:35,568 --> 01:12:38,223
I couldn't meet another girl
no matter what I tried.
1087
01:12:43,315 --> 01:12:46,405
I've been to all the
pick-up joints in Cornwall.
1088
01:12:47,928 --> 01:12:51,976
Struck out every Thursday,
Friday and Saturday night.
1089
01:12:52,106 --> 01:12:55,109
Never had much luck in
that scene at all, really.
1090
01:12:58,809 --> 01:13:00,201
And I didn't meet
another girl again.
1091
01:13:02,943 --> 01:13:05,685
Never had another girlfriend,
1092
01:13:05,816 --> 01:13:09,428
just had one in five
years of highschool.
1093
01:13:09,559 --> 01:13:11,996
INTERVIEWER: Since that
highschool relationship,
1094
01:13:12,126 --> 01:13:13,954
how has it been
for you with girls?
1095
01:13:17,523 --> 01:13:20,308
Oh, there's just been
no relationship.
1096
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:21,962
[chuckles]
1097
01:13:24,356 --> 01:13:27,185
DET. WHITE: He had
a concern with women
1098
01:13:27,315 --> 01:13:28,578
and the fact that
he'd never been able
1099
01:13:28,708 --> 01:13:32,059
to maintain or establish a
relationship with a female.
1100
01:13:32,190 --> 01:13:34,366
And as a result he harboured
a tremendous amount
1101
01:13:34,497 --> 01:13:36,412
of anxiety towards women
because of that.
1102
01:13:39,110 --> 01:13:40,807
SEAN:
They hurt more.
1103
01:13:40,938 --> 01:13:44,245
Being disliked
by the girls
1104
01:13:44,376 --> 01:13:49,250
hurt more than being
disliked by the guys.
1105
01:13:49,381 --> 01:13:51,644
Somebody once made
a joke with me
1106
01:13:51,775 --> 01:13:55,648
about being walked all
over with high heels.
1107
01:13:55,779 --> 01:13:56,910
That piece of
information we thought
1108
01:13:57,041 --> 01:13:58,521
might have played in
1109
01:13:58,651 --> 01:14:00,827
as to why he selected
a random female
1110
01:14:00,958 --> 01:14:02,655
in an attempt
to kill her
1111
01:14:02,786 --> 01:14:04,875
and we felt that it was
because of this belief
1112
01:14:05,005 --> 01:14:07,094
that he had that women
had shunned him
1113
01:14:07,225 --> 01:14:10,054
and that he was unable to
have a relationship with them.
1114
01:14:10,184 --> 01:14:12,317
Have you ever been told
everybody hates you?
1115
01:14:12,448 --> 01:14:17,061
Have you been told that,
John? I've gotten that shit.
1116
01:14:17,191 --> 01:14:21,021
And I think maybe,
I'd have to think back,
1117
01:14:21,152 --> 01:14:23,720
and I'd really
have to wonder,
1118
01:14:23,850 --> 01:14:25,330
did it happen more than
once that someone said,
1119
01:14:25,461 --> 01:14:28,507
"Everybody hates you,"
you know? [chuckles]
1120
01:14:28,638 --> 01:14:45,263
[♪]
1121
01:14:45,393 --> 01:14:47,787
DR. AHMED: On the day
of the index offence,
1122
01:14:47,918 --> 01:14:51,051
or even weeks before then,
1123
01:14:51,182 --> 01:14:55,229
Sean had had all this delusional
belief about females.
1124
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,319
He had expressed it
on several occasions.
1125
01:14:58,450 --> 01:15:01,192
They were persecuting him, they
had special hatred for him.
1126
01:15:03,499 --> 01:15:06,719
I just couldn't seem to
get that wishful thinking
1127
01:15:06,850 --> 01:15:09,766
about girls off
my back, you know?
1128
01:15:09,896 --> 01:15:12,682
I couldn't get it
off my back, John.
1129
01:15:12,812 --> 01:15:16,686
I just, they had tremendous
importance in my mind,
1130
01:15:16,816 --> 01:15:19,732
the girls.
1131
01:15:19,863 --> 01:15:21,821
They had the tremendous
importance in my mind
1132
01:15:21,952 --> 01:15:25,042
and I couldn't
get it off my back.
1133
01:15:25,172 --> 01:15:27,914
And I had to kind of like
balance it, you know,
1134
01:15:28,045 --> 01:15:30,656
like Sean, you know, you're
going to get in trouble
1135
01:15:30,787 --> 01:15:34,355
if you go down that
road, you know?
1136
01:15:34,486 --> 01:15:38,403
I kind of had to
handle these things.
1137
01:15:38,534 --> 01:15:42,407
And then when someone
finally came along and said,
1138
01:15:42,538 --> 01:15:45,932
like Sean,
to hell with you...
1139
01:15:48,239 --> 01:15:50,894
I may have snapped
like a dry twig.
1140
01:15:52,591 --> 01:15:57,161
[♪]
1141
01:15:57,291 --> 01:16:00,730
DR. AHMED: Unfortunately
the victim was identified
1142
01:16:00,860 --> 01:16:04,560
as a representative of
the people that hated him.
1143
01:16:04,690 --> 01:16:08,172
And he was full of anger
1144
01:16:08,302 --> 01:16:11,349
and the anger was psychotically
motivated as well.
1145
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:17,747
This person is a
representative of the gender
1146
01:16:17,877 --> 01:16:20,619
that didn't like me and I was
going to take the person out.
1147
01:16:23,404 --> 01:16:27,844
He was motivated by a disorder,
a disease of his mind.
1148
01:16:30,368 --> 01:16:37,941
I felt so upset, I could
see myself losing control
1149
01:16:38,071 --> 01:16:39,029
if I didn't talk to somebody.
1150
01:16:43,511 --> 01:16:45,035
DET. WHITE:
The investigation showed
1151
01:16:45,165 --> 01:16:46,210
that Sean Clifton had
gone to the hospital
1152
01:16:46,340 --> 01:16:49,953
and he was looking
to see someone.
1153
01:16:50,083 --> 01:16:51,607
The information was that
1154
01:16:51,737 --> 01:16:53,609
he had told either
one of the workers
1155
01:16:53,739 --> 01:16:56,655
or one of the residents at
the group home he lived at
1156
01:16:56,786 --> 01:16:58,483
that he was hearing
voices again.
1157
01:16:58,614 --> 01:17:00,572
And that he seemed to be,
1158
01:17:00,703 --> 01:17:03,096
that he thought that he
was delusional again.
1159
01:17:03,227 --> 01:17:10,408
I went up to the
psychiatric ward and,
1160
01:17:10,538 --> 01:17:15,108
well, they said they were
too busy to talk to me.
1161
01:17:22,159 --> 01:17:23,682
Uh...
1162
01:17:26,337 --> 01:17:28,861
I don't think
they realized
1163
01:17:28,992 --> 01:17:30,254
I'd about reached
my breaking point.
1164
01:17:33,823 --> 01:17:35,520
INTERVIEWER:
And then what happened?
1165
01:17:35,651 --> 01:17:38,479
Well...
1166
01:17:40,830 --> 01:17:45,530
then...
I guess, uh...
1167
01:17:45,661 --> 01:17:49,186
I kind of snapped,
and, uh...
1168
01:17:54,060 --> 01:18:00,153
I think
I lost self-control.
1169
01:18:00,284 --> 01:18:02,808
The brakes were off.
1170
01:18:02,939 --> 01:18:04,636
So consider it like a car
1171
01:18:04,767 --> 01:18:06,812
that doesn't have a
brake on a snowy day.
1172
01:18:06,943 --> 01:18:08,814
No snow tires, no brake.
1173
01:18:16,604 --> 01:18:17,867
SEAN: But I
couldn't stop it,
1174
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,392
I just couldn't get
a grip on myself
1175
01:18:21,522 --> 01:18:24,569
once things started
to roll.
1176
01:18:24,700 --> 01:18:28,921
Things were terribly wrong
that day in a number of areas.
1177
01:18:29,052 --> 01:18:32,142
A number of things went wrong.
1178
01:18:32,272 --> 01:18:35,362
I mean, the
impairment of the OCD
1179
01:18:35,493 --> 01:18:41,891
and the slipping away of
my self-control, like I didn't,
1180
01:18:42,021 --> 01:18:44,937
I didn't care if they put me
in jail forever, you know.
1181
01:18:52,815 --> 01:18:57,558
I felt that this little
feud that was going on
1182
01:18:57,689 --> 01:19:02,128
between me and...
1183
01:19:02,259 --> 01:19:03,608
some people
in my home town
1184
01:19:03,739 --> 01:19:07,438
had reached a new level,
1185
01:19:07,568 --> 01:19:10,310
had reached a new low
1186
01:19:10,441 --> 01:19:15,011
and it was now like
a war without rules.
1187
01:19:15,141 --> 01:19:24,847
[♪]
1188
01:19:24,977 --> 01:19:27,327
It was just a regular night.
1189
01:19:27,458 --> 01:19:30,461
We were, we had decided
to go for a coffee
1190
01:19:30,591 --> 01:19:33,159
but Lynn had just
had a baby
1191
01:19:33,290 --> 01:19:37,947
and wanted to get
formula and diapers
1192
01:19:38,077 --> 01:19:40,993
so I said, "Oh, let's take
a ride down to Wal-Mart
1193
01:19:41,124 --> 01:19:43,822
before heading
out for a coffee,"
1194
01:19:43,953 --> 01:19:47,173
and just, you know,
1195
01:19:47,304 --> 01:19:49,610
you think that it's just an
ordinary night walking in.
1196
01:19:51,351 --> 01:19:58,315
I sat down at Wal-Mart
on a bench in the doorway
1197
01:19:58,445 --> 01:20:01,274
and I just, I couldn't
seem to bring myself
1198
01:20:01,405 --> 01:20:05,278
down to earth again
once I got that upset.
1199
01:20:05,409 --> 01:20:08,586
And I think that's when
I decided I had to do it.
1200
01:20:12,372 --> 01:20:15,462
You know, he stood out
to me, he stood out
1201
01:20:15,593 --> 01:20:20,816
so I could see, you know,
the long hair, the--you know,
1202
01:20:20,946 --> 01:20:24,558
sometimes you just can
sense it, you know?
1203
01:20:24,689 --> 01:20:25,081
You can just see
it in their eyes.
1204
01:20:28,998 --> 01:20:35,047
After I sat there a little
while I shoplifted a knife
1205
01:20:35,178 --> 01:20:36,657
and...
1206
01:20:36,788 --> 01:20:41,880
I could hear some yelling and
I was walking towards the door
1207
01:20:42,011 --> 01:20:44,491
and he started
running towards.
1208
01:20:44,622 --> 01:20:46,232
But I thought,
I kind of looked back
1209
01:20:46,363 --> 01:20:49,279
because I thought he was
yelling and upset at somebody.
1210
01:20:51,759 --> 01:20:56,155
I waited for a member of
the opposite sex to come by
1211
01:20:59,158 --> 01:21:01,117
and I stabbed one of them.
1212
01:21:05,817 --> 01:21:08,559
And I felt like
he had punched me.
1213
01:21:08,689 --> 01:21:09,690
So, you know,
I just - you know,
1214
01:21:09,821 --> 01:21:12,432
at that time everything's
going through your head,
1215
01:21:12,563 --> 01:21:13,999
like what did I do,
you know?
1216
01:21:14,130 --> 01:21:17,785
Why are you running
towards me?
1217
01:21:17,916 --> 01:21:19,004
And I happened
to look down
1218
01:21:19,135 --> 01:21:21,572
and that's when
I noticed the blood.
1219
01:21:21,702 --> 01:21:24,183
So at that point I knew
that I had been stabbed.
1220
01:21:24,314 --> 01:21:27,447
After that I don't
remember too much.
1221
01:21:27,578 --> 01:21:30,450
I remember falling to the
ground and thinking to myself,
1222
01:21:30,581 --> 01:21:33,497
if I fall, maybe he'll stop,
thinking that, you know...
1223
01:21:33,627 --> 01:21:37,153
I didn't move, I just
wanted to kind of play dead
1224
01:21:37,283 --> 01:21:39,633
so I knew that, you know,
he wouldn't hurt me anymore.
1225
01:21:44,856 --> 01:21:45,770
DET. WHITE: Mr. Clifton
continued his attack
1226
01:21:45,901 --> 01:21:47,728
as she went to the ground
1227
01:21:47,859 --> 01:21:51,819
and again lunging with a knife
trying to strike her with it.
1228
01:21:51,950 --> 01:21:53,299
There were several
bystanders at the scene
1229
01:21:53,430 --> 01:21:54,866
at the particular time
1230
01:21:54,997 --> 01:21:57,260
and some of them
approached Clifton.
1231
01:21:57,390 --> 01:21:59,610
So that's when I stood in front
of him and I looked at him,
1232
01:21:59,740 --> 01:22:01,090
and I said to the
person, I said,
1233
01:22:01,220 --> 01:22:03,744
"What did you go and do here?"
1234
01:22:03,875 --> 01:22:05,224
And he wouldn't answer me,
he just, he backed away.
1235
01:22:05,355 --> 01:22:09,881
I could hear yelling, you
know, he was cursing,
1236
01:22:10,012 --> 01:22:13,667
"Die," you know,
"you bitch" and all that.
1237
01:22:13,798 --> 01:22:15,669
You know, just...
1238
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,150
And at that point,
you know,
1239
01:22:18,281 --> 01:22:21,937
you're still thinking in your
head like is this it, you know?
1240
01:22:22,067 --> 01:22:24,113
That's what I kind of felt,
you know, is like,
1241
01:22:24,243 --> 01:22:25,418
am I going to see the
white light now, you know?
1242
01:22:25,549 --> 01:22:27,986
Is this my time?
1243
01:22:33,470 --> 01:22:34,558
[inhales sharply]
1244
01:22:40,172 --> 01:22:42,131
LATOUR:
I got back down on one knee.
1245
01:22:42,261 --> 01:22:44,916
I said, "What's your name?"
And she said, "Julie."
1246
01:22:45,047 --> 01:22:47,614
I said, "Julie,
my name is Deric."
1247
01:22:47,745 --> 01:22:49,660
And she looked up at
me and she says to me,
1248
01:22:49,790 --> 01:22:52,010
"Are you my angel?"
1249
01:22:52,141 --> 01:22:54,273
And I said, "No, Julie,"
I said, "I'm not your angel,
1250
01:22:54,404 --> 01:22:56,623
I'm just a regular
person here to help you."
1251
01:22:56,754 --> 01:22:58,495
I says, "And you don't
have to worry about the guy
1252
01:22:58,625 --> 01:23:00,279
that hurt you,
he's away,"
1253
01:23:00,410 --> 01:23:01,672
I said, "and help
is on its way."
1254
01:23:03,369 --> 01:23:06,329
[loud siren]
1255
01:23:06,459 --> 01:23:08,722
I think after the shock
kind of, the initial shock,
1256
01:23:08,853 --> 01:23:11,116
you kind of start to feel,
1257
01:23:11,247 --> 01:23:14,990
I remember feeling
the sting and the, the...
1258
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,254
I can only describe it more
or less like wet, you know?
1259
01:23:18,384 --> 01:23:23,781
Like that feeling of sting and
the wet and just laying there
1260
01:23:23,911 --> 01:23:27,089
and I don't think it took
long for the ambulance
1261
01:23:27,219 --> 01:23:30,657
to get there but to me
it felt like an eternity
1262
01:23:30,788 --> 01:23:32,268
because it was hurting
at that point,
1263
01:23:32,398 --> 01:23:34,531
the pain was,
was unbearable.
1264
01:23:34,661 --> 01:23:37,795
And then he started ranting
and raving a little bit,
1265
01:23:37,925 --> 01:23:39,231
like he was just,
1266
01:23:39,362 --> 01:23:40,885
like he couldn't believe
what he was doing.
1267
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:42,408
He was getting a
little worked up.
1268
01:23:42,539 --> 01:23:45,063
He goes, "You fuckin'
bitch," he said,
1269
01:23:45,194 --> 01:23:47,196
"you're nothing but
a fuckin' bitch."
1270
01:23:47,326 --> 01:23:49,111
And he's still
ranting around, eh?
1271
01:23:49,241 --> 01:23:50,112
And he's doing like
pirouettes, he's,
1272
01:23:50,242 --> 01:23:53,115
as if he can't
believe what he did.
1273
01:23:53,245 --> 01:23:55,813
And then finally
there was a calm,
1274
01:23:55,943 --> 01:23:58,424
it was just like a calm
as if nothing happened.
1275
01:23:58,555 --> 01:23:59,469
He walks right up to me.
1276
01:23:59,599 --> 01:24:01,471
You know, and I'm
standing right there.
1277
01:24:01,601 --> 01:24:03,168
Like I could put my hand
right on his shoulder.
1278
01:24:03,299 --> 01:24:06,171
And he says in a very
calm voice, he says,
1279
01:24:06,302 --> 01:24:09,957
"Do you think the police
are going to come?"
1280
01:24:10,088 --> 01:24:11,959
And it sort of stunned me.
1281
01:24:12,090 --> 01:24:14,658
I just went, like,
"What? What do I say now?"
1282
01:24:14,788 --> 01:24:16,877
Then all of a sudden
I was shocked to see that,
1283
01:24:17,008 --> 01:24:18,140
all of a sudden you
could see the anger
1284
01:24:18,270 --> 01:24:19,532
come right back in his face,
1285
01:24:19,663 --> 01:24:21,404
like the other, I
don't know how you say,
1286
01:24:21,534 --> 01:24:22,448
Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde type thing.
1287
01:24:22,579 --> 01:24:24,711
It was like Mr. Hyde
was coming out of him
1288
01:24:24,842 --> 01:24:26,409
and he just got angry
and he just looked at me
1289
01:24:26,539 --> 01:24:28,063
and he says,
"I hope you fuckin' die,
1290
01:24:28,193 --> 01:24:31,283
you cunt and
go to hell."
1291
01:24:31,414 --> 01:24:33,329
And that's when
I said, "Okay,"
1292
01:24:33,459 --> 01:24:34,112
I started approaching,
I said,
1293
01:24:34,243 --> 01:24:36,549
"That's enough of that,"
I said.
1294
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:40,162
"You did your damage,
it's done, drop the knife.
1295
01:24:40,292 --> 01:24:43,948
You're not going to
hurt her any more."
1296
01:24:44,079 --> 01:24:48,083
I know I didn't try
and get away but don't,
1297
01:24:48,213 --> 01:24:50,520
I don't recall considering
trying to get away.
1298
01:24:50,650 --> 01:24:51,999
INTERVIEWER:
But you remember sort of
1299
01:24:52,130 --> 01:24:53,479
lingering at
the scene after?
1300
01:24:53,610 --> 01:24:57,483
Yeah.
1301
01:24:57,614 --> 01:24:59,964
Do you remember much of
the events of that night?
1302
01:25:00,095 --> 01:25:03,098
I remember a few
things about it.
1303
01:25:03,228 --> 01:25:07,189
And even though you
were fairly aware,
1304
01:25:07,319 --> 01:25:09,278
you couldn't
stop yourself?No.
1305
01:25:16,676 --> 01:25:19,462
INTERVIEWER: How is it
that he can remember
1306
01:25:19,592 --> 01:25:24,380
so much of what happened
that day, was that aware,
1307
01:25:24,510 --> 01:25:27,034
but still was unable
to stop himself?
1308
01:25:27,165 --> 01:25:30,125
The disorder we're
dealing with here
1309
01:25:30,255 --> 01:25:32,997
is not a disorder of memory.
1310
01:25:34,868 --> 01:25:38,350
The individual does
not have, as it were,
1311
01:25:38,481 --> 01:25:40,961
a memory problem.
1312
01:25:41,092 --> 01:25:46,793
So an individual who suffers
from paranoiac psychosis
1313
01:25:46,924 --> 01:25:50,667
will be able to tell
you what happened.
1314
01:25:50,797 --> 01:25:53,365
In fact, they may even
plan what happened.
1315
01:25:53,496 --> 01:25:55,541
Let's come back to Sean.
1316
01:25:55,672 --> 01:25:58,065
With that psychotically
motivated anger,
1317
01:25:58,196 --> 01:26:03,984
he went into the shop,
found the weapon
1318
01:26:04,115 --> 01:26:05,595
that he needed to use
to achieve his goal.
1319
01:26:05,725 --> 01:26:08,293
It's payback time.
1320
01:26:10,077 --> 01:26:13,472
I felt cornered into doing
some kind of violent thing
1321
01:26:13,603 --> 01:26:15,344
and that's what happened.
1322
01:26:15,474 --> 01:26:17,520
INTERVIEWER: What did
you hope to accomplish
1323
01:26:17,650 --> 01:26:21,872
in terms of your hurt and
your pain by this stabbing?
1324
01:26:22,002 --> 01:26:24,048
I didn't hope to
accomplish anything.
1325
01:26:24,179 --> 01:26:27,747
Just, I'd do it and
it would be over with
1326
01:26:27,878 --> 01:26:31,447
and then I'd forget
about it and...
1327
01:26:31,577 --> 01:26:33,057
I'd get that feeling
off my back
1328
01:26:33,188 --> 01:26:36,016
that I wanted
to stab somebody.
1329
01:26:36,147 --> 01:26:38,193
I was just kind of
taken over by it.
1330
01:26:42,153 --> 01:26:44,938
INTERVIEWER:
And by stabbing her,
1331
01:26:45,069 --> 01:26:49,029
was this somehow
hurting them,
1332
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:50,857
hurting the people
that had hurt you?
1333
01:26:53,469 --> 01:26:55,558
I don't know if I
wanted to hurt them
1334
01:26:55,688 --> 01:27:01,346
or if I just wanted that urge
to hurt, to get somebody,
1335
01:27:01,477 --> 01:27:06,221
to st--to do that act,
the urge to do it to go away.
1336
01:27:11,313 --> 01:27:13,097
Several months ago
I kind of was think -
1337
01:27:13,228 --> 01:27:14,968
I thought about it,
you know,
1338
01:27:15,099 --> 01:27:17,188
did I really want
to hurt that person
1339
01:27:17,319 --> 01:27:21,758
or would I have...
would have I,
1340
01:27:21,888 --> 01:27:23,150
would I do it over again
1341
01:27:23,281 --> 01:27:26,589
if I thought they weren't
going to feel any pain?
1342
01:27:26,719 --> 01:27:28,330
And I think I would,
I'd just do it and say,
1343
01:27:28,460 --> 01:27:30,375
"There, I've done it,"
you know?
1344
01:27:30,506 --> 01:27:32,247
Leave me alone,
you know?
1345
01:27:37,339 --> 01:27:39,166
So the difference
between a Sean Clifton
1346
01:27:39,297 --> 01:27:42,300
and a person who
is not mentally ill
1347
01:27:42,431 --> 01:27:43,954
who commits murder
1348
01:27:44,084 --> 01:27:47,523
is the fact that the person
who has a mental illness
1349
01:27:47,653 --> 01:27:49,351
doesn't have a choice
in his actions.
1350
01:27:49,481 --> 01:27:51,701
His actions are
driven by his illness.
1351
01:27:51,831 --> 01:27:54,094
On the other hand,
the person who,
1352
01:27:54,225 --> 01:27:54,965
a regular person who commits
murder has a choice,
1353
01:27:55,095 --> 01:27:57,097
he makes a choice
in interactions.
1354
01:27:59,361 --> 01:28:00,579
Hello.
1355
01:28:00,710 --> 01:28:04,279
Could I please have a large
coffee with two cream
1356
01:28:04,409 --> 01:28:07,891
and two teaspoons of honey
and a lemon Danish?
1357
01:28:08,021 --> 01:28:09,545
Sure.
1358
01:28:09,675 --> 01:28:11,982
INTERVIEWER: Are you suggesting
that mentally ill people
1359
01:28:12,112 --> 01:28:14,811
who commit violent
crimes, murders, even,
1360
01:28:14,941 --> 01:28:18,858
can in fact be good people?
1361
01:28:18,989 --> 01:28:19,859
DET. WHITE:
Oh absolutely,
1362
01:28:19,990 --> 01:28:21,296
and I've seen it
time and time again.
1363
01:28:21,426 --> 01:28:23,820
These are good people.
1364
01:28:23,950 --> 01:28:26,910
He did a very bad thing but
he's still a very good person.
1365
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:28,912
And that's why we can never
give up on these people
1366
01:28:29,042 --> 01:28:30,305
and that, because
they are good people.
1367
01:28:36,180 --> 01:28:39,966
CAPPER: Sean absolutely
is a kind and decent person.
1368
01:28:40,097 --> 01:28:43,622
It's the illness that is
the underlying, you know,
1369
01:28:43,753 --> 01:28:45,145
cause of the violence.
1370
01:28:45,276 --> 01:28:47,191
Not Sean as a person.
1371
01:28:47,322 --> 01:28:49,846
Sean is kind,
genuine, honest.
1372
01:28:52,849 --> 01:28:54,851
They're not born violent.
1373
01:28:54,981 --> 01:28:58,028
This is an illness that
develops at a certain age.
1374
01:28:58,158 --> 01:29:00,552
So absolutely with
treatment and medication,
1375
01:29:00,683 --> 01:29:02,249
this can be diminished.
1376
01:29:02,380 --> 01:29:06,602
And they can live
happy, healthy lives.
1377
01:29:06,732 --> 01:29:15,350

1378
01:29:21,834 --> 01:29:24,054
JULIE: I received this
letter a little while ago
1379
01:29:24,184 --> 01:29:25,751
from Sean Clifton
1380
01:29:25,882 --> 01:29:28,754
and I've not had a chance
1381
01:29:28,885 --> 01:29:30,147
to read it so I will
read it to you.
1382
01:29:33,324 --> 01:29:36,327
"Dear Julie and the rest
of the Bouvier family:
1383
01:29:36,458 --> 01:29:38,634
"I know that nothing I
can say can ever make up
1384
01:29:38,764 --> 01:29:42,594
"for the ordeal and the pain
that you have gone through.
1385
01:29:42,725 --> 01:29:44,814
"But I want you to know
how deeply sorry I am
1386
01:29:44,944 --> 01:29:46,859
"about what I did to Julie
1387
01:29:46,990 --> 01:29:48,731
and for the pain I have
caused you and your family."
1388
01:29:48,861 --> 01:29:51,516
I hope you understand
1389
01:29:51,647 --> 01:29:54,563
that I have a very
serious mental illness.
1390
01:29:54,693 --> 01:29:57,348
That night I was
very, very sick.
1391
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:58,523
I was not myself.
1392
01:29:58,654 --> 01:30:01,004
I was not violent
before I became sick,
1393
01:30:01,134 --> 01:30:03,528
I was quite gentle growing up.
1394
01:30:05,965 --> 01:30:07,793
"But the night of the incident
the illness took over me.
1395
01:30:07,924 --> 01:30:11,841
"I could not help myself.
1396
01:30:11,971 --> 01:30:16,541
I have thought many times
about apologizing to you."
1397
01:30:16,672 --> 01:30:19,065
I was not very well.
1398
01:30:19,196 --> 01:30:22,242
I found it too hard to
put the words on paper.
1399
01:30:22,373 --> 01:30:26,638
"I do not want Julie to be
afraid of me or to be going out.
1400
01:30:26,769 --> 01:30:28,901
"She does not need
to worry about me.
1401
01:30:29,032 --> 01:30:31,817
"It was just a completely
irrational act.
1402
01:30:31,948 --> 01:30:36,996
If it had not been her it
would have been somebody else."
1403
01:30:37,127 --> 01:30:38,737
I accept that I have
a mental illness,
1404
01:30:38,868 --> 01:30:41,261
I know I need medications.
1405
01:30:41,392 --> 01:30:44,830
I know I will have to take
them for the rest of my life.
1406
01:30:44,961 --> 01:30:48,181
Once again, I want to
say I am deeply sorry
1407
01:30:48,312 --> 01:30:51,446
to you, Julie, and to
Mr. and Mrs. Bouvier
1408
01:30:51,576 --> 01:30:53,404
and the entire family.
1409
01:30:53,535 --> 01:30:54,971
"I hope you will
accept my apology.
1410
01:30:55,101 --> 01:30:57,408
Yours sincerely, Sean Clifton."
1411
01:30:57,539 --> 01:31:00,106
Wow.
1412
01:31:02,326 --> 01:31:35,054
[♪]
1413
01:31:41,017 --> 01:31:42,627
ANDY: I don't see him
as an evil person,
1414
01:31:42,758 --> 01:31:45,761
I see him as a...
1415
01:31:45,891 --> 01:31:49,373
as a sick person.
1416
01:31:49,504 --> 01:31:52,985
And Sean sounds like a much
happier person right now
1417
01:31:53,116 --> 01:31:55,640
even taking his medication.
1418
01:31:57,120 --> 01:31:58,034
I mean...
1419
01:32:04,431 --> 01:32:08,000
JULIE: Um...
1420
01:32:08,131 --> 01:32:10,089
I do accept his apology
1421
01:32:10,220 --> 01:32:13,789
and I feel his
sincerity in this.
1422
01:32:18,663 --> 01:32:21,579
I don't find it necessary...
1423
01:32:21,710 --> 01:32:24,103
to do it in person.
1424
01:32:24,234 --> 01:32:27,106
I think that I get it,
I understand.
1425
01:32:27,237 --> 01:32:31,546
I truly understand
that he is remorseful
1426
01:32:31,676 --> 01:32:34,287
for everything that
happened that night,
1427
01:32:34,418 --> 01:32:36,246
and don't hold
anything against him.
1428
01:32:37,334 --> 01:32:43,340
And just to hear
him say, you know,
1429
01:32:43,470 --> 01:32:47,866
that night it was
random, it wasn't you,
1430
01:32:47,997 --> 01:32:50,303
I wasn't feeling well,
I was sick,
1431
01:32:50,434 --> 01:32:52,044
that's good enough for me.
1432
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,183
NOELLA: We've waited
so long for an apology
1433
01:33:00,313 --> 01:33:02,272
so it's kind
of nice for Julie
1434
01:33:02,402 --> 01:33:03,969
to get the letter in hand
1435
01:33:04,100 --> 01:33:06,450
and we're very happy and we,
1436
01:33:06,581 --> 01:33:11,803
of course we said before
that we've forgiven Sean.
1437
01:33:11,934 --> 01:33:15,807
So very grateful to
get this letter today.
1438
01:33:27,514 --> 01:33:31,431
WHALEN: There's been
a psychiatric institution
1439
01:33:31,562 --> 01:33:32,041
in this community for
over a hundred years.
1440
01:33:35,871 --> 01:33:37,481
You can go into a local
restaurant or a mall
1441
01:33:37,612 --> 01:33:42,878
and you'll see maybe every
fifteen or twenty minutes
1442
01:33:43,008 --> 01:33:45,141
somebody will walk by
mumbling to themselves.
1443
01:33:46,403 --> 01:33:48,187
Or displaying some
sort of behaviour
1444
01:33:48,318 --> 01:33:50,407
that again is not
within the norm.
1445
01:33:53,584 --> 01:33:55,151
Hi, Allie.How are you today?
1446
01:33:55,281 --> 01:33:56,543
Good, thanks, how are you?
1447
01:33:56,674 --> 01:33:58,241
I'm good, what can
I get you today?
1448
01:33:58,371 --> 01:34:02,854
Could I please have
a medium coffee and--
1449
01:34:02,985 --> 01:34:05,161
What would you like in it?
1450
01:34:05,291 --> 01:34:06,379
Double cream, please.Okay.
1451
01:34:08,207 --> 01:34:09,861
That everything?
1452
01:34:09,992 --> 01:34:13,996
WHALEN: They're just accepted
as part of the community.
1453
01:34:14,126 --> 01:34:16,912
I've never seen them overtly
1454
01:34:17,042 --> 01:34:20,785
or in your face
people abusing people
1455
01:34:20,916 --> 01:34:22,482
in this community
that are different.
1456
01:34:22,613 --> 01:34:24,702
You have family here?
1457
01:34:24,833 --> 01:34:27,096
No, I've got family
sort of spread out
1458
01:34:27,226 --> 01:34:29,011
through south-eastern
Ontario, like in the...
1459
01:34:29,141 --> 01:34:30,969
And I told her
what was going on,
1460
01:34:31,100 --> 01:34:35,408
that they were
making a documentary
1461
01:34:35,539 --> 01:34:38,150
on recovery from mental illness
and things like that.
1462
01:34:38,281 --> 01:34:41,545
Well, things will work,
so they got you
1463
01:34:41,676 --> 01:34:43,852
on the right medication,
1464
01:34:43,982 --> 01:34:45,331
it's doing what
it's supposed to do?
1465
01:34:45,462 --> 01:34:47,159
It's doing its thing,
1466
01:34:47,290 --> 01:34:48,770
it's kind of getting me
on the path to reality.
1467
01:34:48,900 --> 01:34:50,772
Yeah.
1468
01:34:50,902 --> 01:34:52,904
INTERVIEWER: So you were
very open about the fact,
1469
01:34:53,035 --> 01:34:54,776
with a complete stranger,
that you had a mental illness.
1470
01:34:54,906 --> 01:34:57,779
Yeah I was.
1471
01:34:57,909 --> 01:35:00,738
No sense trying to hide it.
[chuckles]
1472
01:35:00,869 --> 01:35:03,001
How did she respond?
1473
01:35:03,132 --> 01:35:04,394
Positively.
1474
01:35:04,524 --> 01:35:06,265
What's your name?Sean Clifton.
1475
01:35:06,396 --> 01:35:09,791
Sean Clifton.
1476
01:35:09,921 --> 01:35:14,839
I'm just a guy from the psyche
who's starring in a documentary.
1477
01:35:14,970 --> 01:35:17,320
SEAN: She asked me
for my autograph,
1478
01:35:17,450 --> 01:35:20,453
so I graciously
obliged her
1479
01:35:20,584 --> 01:35:24,066
and signed an
autograph for her.
1480
01:35:24,196 --> 01:35:25,241
She'd have talked to me
another five or ten minutes,
1481
01:35:25,371 --> 01:35:29,158
I think, if I would have
had something to say.
1482
01:35:29,288 --> 01:35:30,812
Well good for you.Yeah.
1483
01:35:30,942 --> 01:35:31,856
Well I wish you
all the best.
1484
01:35:31,987 --> 01:35:32,944
Thank you very much.
1485
01:35:33,075 --> 01:35:36,034
I'm happy for you.Thank you.
1486
01:35:36,165 --> 01:35:37,079
That's very good.
1487
01:35:42,780 --> 01:35:44,826
Morning, Wayne.
1488
01:35:44,956 --> 01:35:46,218
Morning, Sean, how
are you this morning?
1489
01:35:46,349 --> 01:35:48,133
Good, thanks, how are you?Good, thank you.
1490
01:35:53,182 --> 01:35:58,970
SEAN: I like my freedom and,
well, like I said, I -
1491
01:35:59,101 --> 01:36:01,059
it would be nice to be
a regular guy again.

in the past
1495
01:36:12,201 --> 01:36:16,509
and just forget
about it.
1496
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:19,121
It's really been
an education
1497
01:36:19,251 --> 01:36:20,165
and it'll be food for
thought for a long time.
1498
01:36:25,910 --> 01:36:31,873
I guess I
would like to,
1499
01:36:32,003 --> 01:36:33,962
I'd like to have
my sanity back.
