We admit the kid who surfed his shopping cart down the stairs? Hmm.
Broken wrist and a concussion.
Nice catch.
You want a ride? No, waiting for Julia.
I can make you dinner.
Peanut butter and banana.
What? Your boyfriend can't cook.
Not mine.
See ya.
Hey! Are you okay? Hey Tony, right? You hit your head? Yeah, yeah.
Tripping on my son's lego.
I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time remembering where my car is.
Oh, well that's 'cause this is the staff lot.
Ahhh There you go.
Oooh.
Oh my God.
Look, look, look.
Shh.
Shh.
Don't say a word or I will kill you.
Help! Shut up! Just shut up! Come on, get your keys.
Get your keys.
Get your keys.
Look, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Now get in the car.
I've been cleared.
Siu, the review board, coroners inquest.
Now she wants a meeting? Michelle Dalton.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Brass wants me to talk to her.
To help maintain relations with the public.
They're getting a lot of heat upstairs, ed.
What's that got to do with me? Look I shot her daughter, Greg, but the girl had a gun, she was using it, I had no choice.
It was by the book.
So what- they want me to apologize? I think it's a good idea.
So you know about this? It'll be moderated, Eddie.
Siu will be there, I will be there.
A trauma like this, it helps to talk about it.
But she doesn't want to talk.
She wants a target.
It wasn't her I was thinking about, buddy.
I don't need to talk to anybody.
I did my job, I don't need to justify this to anybody.
Okay.
Well They've scheduled it for after shift tonight.
It's not optional.
David.
Hey, you here for Peggi? Yeah, you What would she expect the least.
And I try and do that.
Nice plan, but you gotta work on your timing.
She just headed to the parking lot.
Oh, you're kidding, me! Oh, well, maybe I can still catch her.
What's the fastest way- Oh! Hang on, speak of the devil.
- Hey.
- Hi, sweetie.
Are you still in the parking lot? Sorry to do this Peggi, it's not a voice mail it's me.
I'm gonna have to work a double.
Doctor Armstrong's orders.
So don't wait up.
And remember-remember that I love you.
Okay.
Peggi! Stay on the phone, okay? Okay.
Call me later.
Bye! Okay.
Good work.
Now drive.
Please.
Please.
Just drive.
I can't go Ahhh.
Peggi! Peg! Peggi! Abduction in progress Peggi Walsh, nurse from St.
Pat's Hospital, downtown.
called it in, specifically mentioned a "Doctor Armstrong".
"Armstrong?" You're sure that's the name he used, Winnie? That's straight from 911, boss.
Okay.
Winnie, I need you to get me Rene Meyer from homicide.
Team stay in pursuit.
What's going on, boss.
I've gotta confirm with homicide, Eddie, but two nurses have been abducted in three months.
Now both made a calls, saying they were gonna to be late.
None of them came home.
Homicide put the word out to all hospitals to use "Doctor Armstrong" as a code, in case anyone was abducted and forced to make that call.
Team one, I got David Park on the line, abductees boyfriend, and he's perusing the kidnapper in his own vehicle.
I can take him.
Sam, you stay on the line, but under no circumstance is he allowed to engage, you understand? Understood.
David, this is Sam Braddock, Strategic Response Unit.
Thank God.
Where are you now? I'm on University.
Just ah Richmond.
And Peggi? She's ahead of me.
There's a man in the car with her.
Does he know he's being followed? No, I don't think so.
Okay, good, let's keep it that way.
We'll stay on the line, but you maintain your distance, okay? For your safety and for hers.
Okay.
Now, were you able to get in contact with her? No.
No.
I called her, but she's not answering.
Just please hurry! Boss, I've got Rene Meyer on the line, I've briefed him on the abduction.
That's great.
Patch him through.
Greg, it's Meyer.
Rene, it's been a long time.
You sure about "Armstrong?" Yeah.
Absolutely.
All right.
I'm coming right now.
No, I'm coming to get you.
My team's in pursuit right now.
We were hoping you can give some background on this guy's M.
O.
? Well, he's smart.
The call home gives him time to kill them and dump their bodies before we even know they were missing.
What about the abductee? Nurse, mid-thirties, parking lot That's him.
Two nurses is a coincidence.
Three makes it official.
He's got a routine that works, no reason to stop now.
So you're thinking serial killer.
That's what it's feeling like.
Parker okay.
Do you have any idea where he's going, what he does to his victim? No sexual assault, bruising consistent with simple restraints, bodies dumped in random locations.
But they both died of heart failure due to an overdose of anesthetic, trilamine.
And how fast acting is it? Oh, it takes some time.
But there's no telling how much he uses.
We do know from the time of that first phone call, to the estimated time of death? Ninety minutes.
Okay, team, we're with a deadline here.
You know, Tony, I don't know what this is about, you said, that you had a son, right? So just-you think of him, you think of him Because if anything happens to you, and you get caught, he's not gonna You don't have a son, do you? No.
What can I give you? What-what can I give you? I've got- I've got money I've got forty-five dollars, I have got my bank card.
You can take it.
My engagement ring, look.
It's brand new, it's white gold here just stop! You must want something! Yes.
I want you to stop talking.
And I want you to take the next right.
Please don't Don't hurt me.
- Hurt you?! - Yeah.
I would never hurt you, Peggi.
I wanna help you Peggi's headed into the gardiner.
Where are you? We're almost there.
Hang tight, David.
Winnie, get unis on every exit.
If he gets on the highway, we make sure we're on his tail when he gets off.
I can't just watch her disappear.
David, it's not safe, stay back! I can't! Peggi! Peggi! Ooof! Oh my God! Oh my God! Aghhhh! Somebody please help! Aghhh! Hey, get back in the car or I'll kill him! Peggi! Peggi! Do what he says.
David, what's happening? Get back! It's okay.
Get in! Okay.
Ooof! - Get in! - Okay! Oh my God! David! David! David, what's going on? We're almost there! Winnie, we need ems now! York and Bremner.
Single stab wound - nothing arterial.
Pulse is weak but steady.
They went That-that went Alert all cars they're heading west on Bremner! Sam, with me Let's move! Slow down, slow down.
Stop.
Stop.
Okay.
Okay.
What are you doing? We don't need these anymore.
Oh my God.
No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no! Please! Tony! Please, please Please! No, please Tony, please! Noooo! Nooooo! No, no, no! Oh no! Please let me out! Oh God! Time is up.
We've got a positive ID on Peggi Walsh's vehicle.
But need the fire department here.
It's been torched.
We've got David Park - he's injured, but he's okay.
Leah's talking to him.
Peggi Walsh? Ed the trunk! Negative.
Nobody here.
Fire means no fibers, prints, DNA.
Might as well have driven it into a black hole.
Okay, my guess is he ditched his car here, he had another one waiting.
While we're checking out the crime scene he's getting away.
This guy is smart.
Parker okay.
Our guy is on the move.
We're following up, but we need another angle.
We don't have a lot of time for that.
We gotta figure out who this guy is, so we can track him down.
You mentioned something to boss about trilamine, what is that? It's a pretty useful general anesthetic for surgeries.
But in high enough doses, it causes cardiac arrest.
And it is the same drug that was used by Evan Hunter.
Doctor Evan Hunter? That was 15 years ago, it was a famous case.
Meyer respected physician, family man, pillar of the community until an elderly patient's autopsy showed traces of trilamine.
The coroner dug into his past cases Found seven more.
Including his own wife.
Parker well, it can't be Hunter, he killed himself when the cops came to arrest him.
That's why we're thinking copycat.
David said, the subject is white male, medium hair, about five nine.
He had a blue plastic ID bracelet the same kind they use at St.
Pat's emergency department.
He could have picked her out inside, then waited in the lot until she finished her shift.
Maybe she even recognized him.
And when her defenses are down - he takes her.
Hey, Spike, the St.
Pat's security cameras, we need a capture.
Already thought of that and so did he.
Security said the camera were turned to face the wall before it happened.
What about the E.
R.
security cams, inside? Yeah, be hard to block 'em all.
Worth a call.
Hey, boss.
This might have something.
Keys.
They must have fallen during the struggle.
Most of them are not gonna help us.
But this one is an abloy.
You use these like in real estate locks, in high security areas.
The company embeds a code right into the lock.
So you can find the owner from a lost key.
So with the code? And access to the company's data base We can find what we want.
The key belongs to Allan Thompson.
I swear boss, I only use my powers for good.
Okay, you and Leah go ahead, I'll bring Meyer and Jules.
EMS say they might be able to deal with the trilamine.
A shot of adrenaline would get her heart going again, assuming we get there before her heart stopped altogether.
All right, let's assume.
Have EMS tail you.
Eddie, Sam? Okay.
The house is close.
Sam, let's see what we can get on this guy.
On it.
on the West Side.
Okay team 1, just go careful.
Right now he's in the totem phase, he's focused on his task.
If he sees he can't get what he wants he could kill Peggi immediately.
License plate is registered to a.
Thompson, speed and surprise, let's move! Allan Thompson! Police! Get out of that car! Police! Where is Peggi Walsh, Allan? Peggi, are you all right? Are you okay? Did he inject you with anything? My name is not Peggi! Hold on! Him? That's him.
Definitely.
Team one, I'm sending a screen grab of the suspect, we're on our way there.
We're running out of time! Stop! You're hurting him! Ed, Ed.
It's not him! It's not him.
Let go.
Allan.
Sorry, you all right? Sorry, I apologize! Do you mind explaining what this is all about?! Ed, you all right? Ma'am, a woman was abducted less than an hour ago, do you know this man? Oh my God Mr.
Thompson, do you know him? That's my brother.
Colin.
Allan, what brother? Colin Thompson? Guys we're gonna need APB out for No.
Not Thompson - Hunter.
Colin Hunter.
Was Evan Hunter your father? Okay.
Okay.
Uh, if you let me go We can work it out Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Shhh-shhhh.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Relax.
Okay? - Okay.
- Can you do that? Yeah? Yeah.
- Relax.
- Okay.
It's gonna be fine.
Okay.
I'll relax.
You just let me go then.
Just relax.
If you just let me go then everything will be fine.
It's okay.
I won't say anything.
It's gonna be fine.
I promise.
You gonna feel fine.
I'm here for you.
What are you doing, Tony? You don't have to worry? What are you doing? It's gonna be so nice for you.
Oh my God.
Wait just Wait, wait! Is that trilamine? No! No, no, no, no! Wait! No! No! Stop! Please! Please, please don't! Shhhhh.
It's gonna be very nice No! Don't worry.
It's gonna be beautiful.
Nooo! Why are you doing this?! I know what I'm doing.
My father was a doctor.
You have any idea where Peggi Walsh is? Who is this Peggi Walsh? I don't know what you're talking about.
Mr.
Hunter? My name is Thompson.
I changed my name.
Fine, Mr.
Thompson - look, we don't have time here, there's a woman who is in danger.
Okay, but what does that have to do with my brother? He's abducted someone today, and we believe he intends to kill her.
Two other women were found dead.
Killed with the same anesthetic your father used.
Oh no.
No, this can't be happening.
Look, Allan, we've got a positive ID from a victim.
We have security cam footage.
We know it's Colin.
Allan, he was carrying these keys that were registered in your name.
How did Colin get them? Wait.
This is Oh my God You recognize them? There was a break in.
We thought that it was just teenagers, nothing valuable taken.
Just some cash, a video camera And my keys for work.
What do you do for work? I'm in real estate.
Commercial properties.
This is for the Spencer house on Craymore.
It used to be a hospice.
The place has been empty for years.
Okay, team, let's get ready to move.
How well do you know the Spencer house? I've-I've showed it to developers about a dozen times.
Come with us? We can still use your help.
Yeah, yeah.
Sure.
Of course.
Whatever I can do.
Thank you.
Come on.
Debbie, please, okay.
Forgive me? What else haven't you told me? Nothing.
All right? I just-I didn't want to hurt you.
Hurt me?! Allan, I'm your wife.
Why wouldn't you just trust me? I'm sorry.
Allan.
Look, I have to go.
I'm gonna explain everything, okay? I love you.
Colin Hunter, eldest son of Dr.
Evan Hunter, serial killer.
Brother to Allan Hunter.
Dr.
Hunter killed himself when Allan was 12, and Colin was 17.
Allan was adopted by the Thompson family.
But Colin was eighteen by then.
And on his own, and there is no record of where he went to.
A couple of minor assaults, theft, b&e, no regular employment.
Multiple addresses, no domicile on record.
The guy's a drifter.
The hospice is just a few minutes ahead.
It's a ten story building, guys, multiple entry points.
And exits.
If he sees us approach, he's got a lot of ways out.
Okay.
Hard and fast entry front and back.
Let's move.
That's an old building, lot of concrete walls Spike, bring the heavy charges, if he's holed up in there, we gotta blast through those walls fast! Allan, I know this can't be easy for you.
It just never ends.
So how close are you to your brother? We've lost touch.
The memories of my dad What he did were too painful.
Being around him just brought them all back.
Hey, there's no way you could have known.
We're here.
Tony You still here? Spike, leah, use caution, take the rear on my go.
Hey, it's Colin.
Okay.
Colin.
Yeah.
Just let me go.
It's okay.
Jules, stay with Allan and meyer.
If he can think of anything else, I wanna be on top of it.
Okay.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
There's nothing to be afraid.
Soon it won't hurt anymore.
What do you mean? I'm not hurting, I was never hurting.
Sam Alpha team is a go on entry how are you feeling? Are you comfortable? I'm afraid.
Oh don't-don't be afraid.
Hey, it's okay.
I love you.
What? It's okay.
The kitchen's clear.
Colin please.
What? My fiancee's name is David.
We're getting married in six months.
At my mother's cottage.
I grew up there Guys, we got a power cable, running through the third story window, west wall.
Good eye, spike, stack up on the third floor fast and quiet, keep the element of surprise.
You have any idea what we're facing with Colin in there? Don't talk to him.
I don't see him.
But if he is just repeating what dad did then He's not a threat to any of you.
What do you mean, he's not a threat to us? I am a human being, and I am dying in front of you.
Go.
Please.
Please, look at me.
Look at what you are doing.
Oh, I am looking, Peggi.
That's the whole point.
Colin Hunter! Clear.
There is no one here.
Allan the last time that I saw my father, we were in the kitchen.
Then the police were pounding at the door and he looked at us and said, I gotta do something upstairs, boys.
The next time we saw him, he was being carried down stairs in a body-bag.
He had an injection of morphine waiting upstairs.
It's a lot faster than trilamine.
So no.
If Colin get cornered I don't think he's any threat to you.
Might get something.
- What's that? - Move! Move! Move! What is it? What?! Go! Sam! Ed! Sarge! Come on.
Status, anybody? Sarge! Come on, status now! Anybody! Braddock, clear.
- Scarlatti.
- Clear.
No harm.
Jules, no harm.
All clear.
What the hell happened? Place was rigged to blow.
Must really want to keep people out Parker keep people from seeing what's inside, so let's start looking.
Eddie.
Yeah.
Trophy photos of his victims.
But they don't look afraid, or hurt, they look Peaceful And dead.
These photos were taken in the same bed but it's not that bed.
He lives here.
But he must kill them there.
That's got to be where he is now.
Yeah.
Maybe we can still find something off of this? You need to look up.
Look at the position and the angle it's very specific.
It's more than just a trophy.
They're both the same? Allan, this is going to be hard.
But I need you to take a look at this? Allan, do you see anything familiar here? Look, anything at all? Look.
Oh God, I'm sorry! Allan! Allan, I know this is hard for you, but you saw something in this photo, didn't you? I don't know where it is.
It's not that.
It was something else.
I'm sorry.
Anything will help.
It's just the angle Was like my mother when she died.
But didn't your father I-I'm sorry, but didn't your father kill your mother? Wasn't she the first? Then oh my God.
Did you see your father kill your mother? My mother had M.
S.
Late onset.
She had to quit her job and within a year of diagnosis, she-she could barely walk.
I'm mean we were just kids.
I was six and Colin was 11.
We weren't supposed to be watching.
My dad told us to leave.
But Colin had the idea to go to the attic.
It's better.
Trust me.
You wont hurt anymore.
There's nothing to be afraid of my love.
Please, Evan I'm scared.
I couldn't stand it anymore.
Colin, he just kept watching.
We told the police, after he was gone.
But I mean, but by then, what could they do? What's the point? This kind of trauma I mean, I can't I can't even imagine what it's like to deal with it.
We both saw what we saw.
We both had choices.
I went my way, and Colin He went his.
Okay, this might be something it's video from the disc on Colin's computer.
You can't really make out the image.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Soon it won't hurt anymore.
Please you don't have to do this! Okay, there, in the silence listen, you hear that? Please you don't have- Air conditioning system? No, it's not on-off.
It fades in and then it fades out.
Soon it won't hurt anymore.
Please You don't have to do this! Stop! Stop it! Why don't you understand? It's better! This is better! Just look, look at the camera? Oh God please These are where the two bodies were found, right? And these are the abduction points.
All east side, within a couple of blocks.
Killers like this, they like to dump their victims right after they're dead.
Once he gets what he wants, it's like a switch goes off.
He gets guilty.
The bodies become a reminder of what he's done.
Okay, so let's assume that he disposes of the bodies within a thirty minute radius from where he killed them.
So that would be right about here.
We canvassed there already.
But it's right downtown.
High-rises, offices, shops, incredibly dense.
Yeah, it's gotta be private.
Isolated.
Easy access, so he can bring a woman that's alive in, and then bring her out dead, without anybody seeing.
Somewhere he knows well.
Boss, what do we have on Colin's work history again? Not much.
Has never stuck with anything for too long enough, according to Allan.
I think I got it! Subway - low-range sound, four-minute intervals, downtown it looks like a lot of his jobs are short term theatre gigs! It's gotta be! Yonge line has a lot of theatres.
Yeah, but not private at all, Elgin winter gardens.
That shut down in the fall.
Alleyway access.
Private.
He'd know it inside and out.
Eddie, we might have something.
Guys, this place is huge four stories, dressing rooms, rehearsal halls, backstage, even if she is in there, we don't have time to check every space.
Okay, so the mission is, kidnap nurses that resembled his mother, and give them peace.
What are the cycles? We're past the planning and capturing phase, where he's most volatile.
Near the end, he'll be struggling with shame, remorse What are you talking about? It's how killers justify their actions to themselves.
They know what they're doing is wrong, so they neutralize the reality by convincing themselves there's a purpose.
Like your father killing sick people.
Or your brother, repeating the time when he saw your mother being helped by your father.
You know Allen, we're gonna need your assistance.
Especially if he's holed up and we need to talk, it's gonna be hard.
This isn't hard.
This is my life.
Always wondering, "will that be me? When is it gonna happen? Who am I gonna hurt?" Every time you hold your wife Or you think about having children Or you imagine anything in the future, you stop, and you think "but what if I'm him? What if I'm him? What if it's in my blood? My DNA?" So I'm sorry But if my brother is there, I don't know what I'm gonna be able to say to him to help you.
You know, Allan, we all deal with trauma and pain in our own way, how we face it or don't face it it's our choice.
It's your choice.
And you've done the best anybody could do.
Bravo team at the rear entrance ems on standby.
Spike, Jules, main stage from behind.
We'll take the front.
Let's go.
Bravo team, status? No joy.
All rooms clear so far.
Definite light source coming from the stage.
We're in - go! Ed! Yeah, Jules, we see it too.
Right there! He's on the balcony! Subject in sight.
Let's move! Right there! Hands behind your head! Interlock your fingers! Do it now! On your knees! Do it now! Do it now! Where's Peggi Walsh? Where is she? Where is she?! Where is she? Tell me where she is, right now! What do you mean? She's right there We're out of time, guys.
Boss, we gotta keep looking, she's here somewhere! Leave him with me.
You guys go! Bravo team keep looking, we're on our way! Jules, I need you here with me.
Bring Allan.
Come on.
Colin.
Come on.
Still time for you to help us save Peggi.
Hey! Look at me?! Colin, where is she? Where is Peggi? Allan, look at the screen, look at the angle.
Look it where he's watching from.
It's that day, when your mother died.
He's stuck in a loop.
He can't let go of the pain.
He keeps reliving it, over and over again.
Hey, we've almost cleared the whole area and still nothin'.
Right now this is about you, what you can do to stop this to move forward.
Hey! What did you take? Ah, it won't be long now.
We need ems! Hunter's dosed himself! Probably morphine like his father.
Paramedics, lower balcony.
We lose Colin, we lose Peggi.
Boss! Easy, easy! You can't do this, Colin! Not again! It was always gonna end this way, Allan.
No, you had a chance this is who we are.
This is not who we are! This is who you are, what you've become! A killer! A killer just like him! He wasn't just a killer.
He loved us He destroyed us! We were children.
We saw something we weren't supposed to see.
He left us with nothing but this black hole! That's all we have, Colin.
That's all we've ever had.
Please, please.
If you won't do it for this woman then do it for me.
Don't leave me like this again.
Please.
Hey! Hey! I never meant to hurt you, Allan.
I'm sorry, Allan.
I know, Colin.
I know You hear that?! The subway! Hey! Colin, where is she? Where is Peggi? Trap door.
Stage left.
Under the bags.
She's under the stage, stage left, there is a trap door.
Oh, look at her.
Isn't she beautiful? I think he od'd on morphine.
She's here! Get that paramedic in here now! She's breathing.
here's to you when the rain hits too hard when the battles that you fight just leave you scarred when you're tired to the bone and you got no strength to move on here's to you when the light has grown too dim and your faith is just hanging on a limb and your heart begins to doubt if you'll ever make it through oh, here's to you I know it's been a long day.
Siu is in there, we walk in, we hear what she says.
And it's over.
All right, Eddie? The woman lost her daughter, ed.
She needs to talk about it.
And you should too.
She needs somebody to blame.
And I get that.
All right? But for the record? This isn't for me.
Ms.
Dalton.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Officer, thank you for coming.
I know you're a 19-year veteran of the force.
And that you have four commendations.
I know you have a wife and two children.
I needed to know what kind of man kills your daughter.
Eddie No.
What kind of man it takes to do that job.
I understand There are rules.
My husband my ex-husband put you in a complicated situation.
My daughter had a gun.
I was very angry at you.
But then I started thinking about my girl.
I started thinking about What she would do if she where me? Mr.
Lane, she always saw the best in people.
Always.
That-that was may.
She-she did.
I realized she'd want me to understand.
She would want me to forgive you.
And so I Forgive you.
I forgive you.
I forgive you.
I can't.
I can't.
Ed.
