Psychopath Convinces Friend to Attempt Murder _ Chicago Med _ MD TV

Max, where do you want us? You're going to Baghdad. Naima, talk to me. Forty-something female, GCS 15, fell down a flight of stairs. Head lack, possible left wrist fracture. Tried to board and call her, but too agitated. She's a monster. She's a suspect in a stab. Dr. Halston, treat the core. On it. I opened the door. Naima's right there. Who wants to kill me? Who wants to kill you? Okay, watch your arm. Ready? Stand by. One, two, three. Fifty of fentanyl for the pain. Get an equilateral x-ray of that arm. Ma'am, did you hit your head? Here you go. Do you know where you are? He's been trying to kill me for weeks. Ma'am, do you know where you are? I had no choice. I had to protect myself. April, let's give Trent fifty of fentanyl. She's crazy. Single stab wound to the epigastrum. No visceration from what I could see. I need x-rays. Chest and abdomen. And let's echo the heart. I didn't do anything, man. I tried to give her her mail. What? Brittany, her mail got mixed up with mine. Echo's negative. No pericardial fusion. Belly's also negative. Locked on her door. She attacked me. Everyone stand back. Now at night, he gets in my apartment and he moves my things around. Okay. He poisoned my food, my water. Is he alive? Where is he? He is alive. Oh, my God. Point five of Ativan, please, Maggie. Don't let him near me. Oh, we won't. We will not. What is he doing? He's just giving you something to make you a little bit calmer. Thank you, Maggie. He started by killing the bats in my neighborhood. Brittany, I can promise you this. You're safe here. You have nothing to worry about. What I'd like you to do is try to get a little rest and then I'm gonna come back later and we can talk some more, okay? I'll see you in a bit. Headcase? Well, Ms. Coleman certainly appears paranoid and delusional, but I'd like to know what's driving her. What are the labs saying? The tox screen is negative, but she is malnourished and extremely dehydrated. She's definitely had some kidney damage. Yeah, it's not surprising. I mean, she hasn't been drinking water or eating. She thinks Mr. Gardner's trying to poison her. Says she acted in self-defense. Yeah, but how can we believe her? You just more or less said she's crazy, right? Can't have it both ways. Well, Jay, he's saying we don't know yet. Yeah, I mean, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. Just... wait. Dr. Charles, this is Ms. Sutton, a friend of your patient's, Ms. Coleman. Alana. Nice to meet you, Alana. I was hoping I could see Brittany. Would it be all right? Do you mind if I ask you a few questions first? Oh, of course. You're a psychiatrist. Yes. Um, so how do you know Brittany? I'm a very close friend. Uh-huh. So then you know why she's here. Yeah, I heard. It's terrible. I mean, what would make her do such a thing? Well, that's what we're trying to figure out. You know, have you noticed anything unusual in her behavior recently? She has seemed a little more nervous. And I do know that she's had problems with her neighbor. He's a very unpleasant man. Could he have threatened her? Well, the police are investigating all that. Good. By the way, did she mention anything about a check for me? Sorry? I'm thinking it might not be a good time to bring it up with her. I mean, it's not important. Can I see her now? Yes. Um, I think that she might find your presence reassuring. Thank God you're here. Brittany, poor thing. Trent, we understand the surgery went well. We'll get you up to your own room as soon as the bed opens up. Thank you. The woman who attacked you, she was injured. But don't worry. She's under guard. No, not her. The other one. I think she's a friend. Dr. Charles, my patient, Mr. Gardner, you know he was more upset seeing the friend of the woman who stabbed him? A friend? Alana? Yeah. He says she filed a crazy lawsuit against him to get possession of his apartment, costing thousands of dollars to get it dismissed. He says he often sees her outside our building staring up at his place. Somehow she's got it in her head that his apartment belongs to her. Ma'am, you need to get back on the bed now. You got this. I told you. Get back in bed now. I told you. He has poison. Brittany? 0.5 of Ativan. Look at me. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. Right behind you. I told you. He's trying to kill me. I'm not safe. He... No. Hey there. How's Brittany? Better. Thank God. When will she be able to come home? I'm not so sure that she will. I mean, not right away anyway. She's going to definitely need more therapy, and, well, frankly, there's a very good chance she gets arrested. Arrested? Yeah. That's terrible. Who's going to drive me to exercise class? Excuse me? I don't have a car. Brittany drives me. Very nice of her. Did you say something before about a check? Did I? Oh, well, Brittany is helping me with this month's rent. Oh. I'm not very good with money. She really is such a kind, agreeable person, isn't she? Mm-hmm. Chauffeuring you around and giving you money. She lends me money. Of course. I'm a very good friend to her. There is no doubt in my mind. You know, I should have some news for you very soon. Why don't we find you a warmer place to wait? I think we're dealing with a case of folie a deux. And that is? A shared delusion. Heads up, guys. I got an arrest warrant for Brittany Coleman. Attempted murder. Going to transfer her to the psych ward at Cook County. Before you do that, there's somebody I'd like you to meet. Two minutes. Alana, this is Detective Halstead. I thought it would be very important for him to get your perspective on how this all unfolded. How do you do? Uh, maybe we should talk somewhere more private? Oh, all right. So how can I help? So I understand that you were the one who warned Miss Coleman about her neighbor. That he was poisoning her food, putting gas through the vents. He's a child molester. Did you know that? I haven't seen any indication of a criminal record. Now, what about Mr. Gardner's apartment? What do you mean? Well, that you think it should be yours. Who told you that? We're just trying to understand all the different factors that might have prompted Brittany to attack her neighbor. That's all. I hope you don't think that... I don't know what he has been telling you or how he has twisted things, but I have only wanted to protect Brittany. Well, here's the thing. You could look at this case and come to a different conclusion. But maybe you didn't really care that much about Brittany and you just wanted her to kill her neighbor so that you could have his apartment. He's out of his mind. You keep lying, and something really bad might happen to you. Ma'am, was that a threat? Of course not. You sure know how to bring out the best in people. It's a gift.
