-Ah, ah.
Oh. I-I'm accepting him.
Right? Joe is my son.
-If you came with him,
it would be an outward show
of support.
Mrs. Chao,
we need to work together
to treat his schizophrenia.

a positive memory we could--
Mrs. Chao.
I'm--I'm pleased that you're
here,
but really,
you must knock first.
-Okay.
-Joe, this is okay?
Please.
[ Clears throat ]
Uh, last week, we talked about
finding some positive memories
we could work with.
Is there one
that you thought about?
We talked about...
visiting Taiwan...
Playing in the back
of the print shop.
The motel.
The motel?
Tell me about it.
Do you remember the name?
-Sunset Hills Motel.
-Dr. Hsu: How old were you?
-Joe: Twelve, I think.
-Dr. Hsu:
And why were you there?
Do you remember Mrs. Chao?
-Uh --
-Dr. Hsu: Any details will help.
-Irene: [ Exhales sharply ]
Hm...
Our power has outage
[in Mandarin]
[in English] But Daddy want to
stay in motel.
More fun.
-I don't-- I-I
couldn't remember.
-Irene: [ Chuckles ]
-Daddy go to vending machine,
get you many candies.
-Well, what details
do you remember?
Can you describe it to me?
Close your eyes.
Try.
What do you see?
What do you hear?
Go ahead.
[ Soft music plays ]

in the motel room.
-Dr. Hsu: At night?
[ Muffled laughter ]

Uh, the -- the TV's on.
It -- It's loud.

and dad?

He's still horrible, but...
[ Soft music plays ]
...we're happy.
[ Laughter ]
We laughed so much.
[ Laughter ]
-Dr. Hsu: I know it can be
scary to see someone you love
struggle with schizophrenia.
-Irene:
I come back next week, too.
-Dr. Hsu: That's great.
And, uh, just to be clear,
this isn't going to just go
away like some cold.
He needs to learn
to live with it
through counseling
and through medication.
You both do.
-Ah.
-Has he had any episodes lately?
Very strong. Good.
-That's great.
This is the best time
to put him on the right path
through counseling
and through medication.
Uh, again, thank you for coming.

I-I just wanted to talk about
what happened at school.
-What do you mean? Why?
-Well, I was in the hallway
when you...
I don't know.
Like, it kind of...
looked like...
It looked like you, like,
freaked out or something.
-Oh, yeah. Um...
I, uh--
I-I shouldn't have.
It-- It's just, like...
sometimes all the, like--
all the bullshit, like,
gets to me, you know?
-Actually, yeah.
-Really?
-Stan: Yeah.
Except I go to Pizza Hut
and eat a whole supreme pizza,
alone.
-[ Chuckles ]
I-I go to the pet store,
and I play with the snakes.
-Why? -[ Chuckling ] 'Cause
it's, like, really gross.
And then it just gets me
out of my head.

-Principal: [in English]
A student told Mr. Hernandez
Joe was in distress
that afternoon.
-Well, he seemed fine,
but just said he needed a
break after the drill.
-But the damage he caused
wasn't discovered
until yesterday
with the construction crew.
-I can pay.
-We also found this.
[ Mouse clicks ]
He's been sneaking into the
school facilities after hours.
-Irene: First-year swim coach
gives him the key
so he can do the practice
by his own.
-He's had a tough time
since his dad passed away.
Up until then,
he's one of our top students
and a good athlete.
He's not a bad kid.
-[ Sighs ]
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I am.
The student who told
Mr. Hernandez about Joe
also found this.
It's very disturbing.
-I talk with him.
-Principal: Mrs. Chao,
we strongly believe he should
transfer to Erbes High School,
just down the road,
which handles kids
with behavioral issues.
-He needs to stay.
-There, they have
social workers and counselors
who can help him.
-We go already.
The family center.
He's much better.
-We all have his best
interests at heart here.
Uh, his behavior is just
preventing the other students --
-I teach him by my own.
-Mrs. Chao...
-[in Mandarin]
[ Telephone ringing ]
-[in English] I heard you
there in the hallway.
-[in Mandarin]
-[in English] You were there.
I heard you.
And you were trying to --
-[in Mandarin]
[ Chopsticks clatter ]
[in English] Joe?
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
-Man: Earlier this afternoon,
a dangerous struggle ended
with a vehicle
driving on the sidewalk.
The black pickup truck
drove down the wrong side
of Valley Boulevard.
The police cars, at one point...
[ Cellphone chimes ]
...were heading westbound
on Valley Boulevard.
Back to you.
-Man #2: Thanks, Jeffrey.
And now more details are
emerging about the sh**ting
at North Carolina
Community College.
Police report that the sh**ter
had two additional shotguns
and another 150 rounds
of ammunition
in the trunk of his car.
It has been confirmed
that at the school,
he was armed with an AR-15,
and he carried a backpack
with two GL*CK...
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Broadcast plays indistinctly ]
-[ Gasps ]
-Man #2: Authorities have put
together a timeline
of the sh**ter's...
-Irene: Joe?
-Man #2: ...movements prior to
the day of the sh**ting.
-Irene: Joe!
-Man #2: Security footage from
a convenience store near the
entrance to the campus...
-Irene: Hey.
-Man #2: ...shows the suspect
walking around the perimeter
two days before.
-Irene: [in Mandarin]
-Man #2: [in English]
The morning of the incident,
he actually received
a parking ticket
for parking in a bus lane.
The suspect
had a verbal altercation
with the parking officer
before moving his car.
[ Broadcast muted ]
-Irene: [ Sighs ]
-No. I haven't seen him here.
Why?
-He like to go to range
for sh**ting.
-Oh. -I want to give him g*n
for birthday surprise.
-Let me show you
a couple of pieces, huh?
Let's start with the, uh,
Smith & Wesson Model 10...
...and then do the Model 36.
Uh, pick either one up.
See how it feels in your hand.
-Uh, eh, no.
-Okay. Let me show you.
It's very simple.
Good size for him.
-Uh, this one is strong.
-Yeah.
-Uh, I back to you here later.
He come to here,
you call me, okay?
-Yeah. Okay.
[ Soft music plays ]
-Dr. Hsu: Keep tapping.
It could be any speed
that feels right to you.
Do you recall a memory
about spiders?
[ Spiders chittering ]
-We had an infestation once.
-Dr. Hsu: Keep going.
-Joe: I woke up
in the middle of the night...
[ Indistinct voices ]
...hungry.
[ Indistinct voices continue ]
I saw my parents talking.
[ Breathing heavily ]
-[ Screams ]
-Joe: My dad--
he fell.
[ Breathing shakily ]
It's the night he died.
-[ Gasps ]

-Joe: [in English]
I-I didn't know what to do.
[ Discordant noises ]
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Spider hisses ]
[ Soft music plays ]
[ Breathing deeply ]
-Dr. Hsu: He keeps making
progress,
but I feel like
I would get a fuller picture
if his school could share
information with me.
-He have an interest on g*ns.
-Have you noticed
anything worrisome at home?
-He talk many times
about a school sh**ter.
-I see.
-On his computer.
-Could you please send these
to me?
-Ah.
-I'll review it.
I'll go over everything
with the rest of the team.
-Maybe he going to hurt
some people.
-I-I understand your worry,
but most people
with schizophrenia
don't engage in violence.
In fact, it's quite rare.
We have no reason to believe
that Joe is any different.
Now, that said,
it's still extremely important
that you fill out this form
as soon as possible.
-I send to you.
-Okay.
-Irene: [in Mandarin]
[ Shop bell rings ]
-Excuse me, ma'am.
-Hello.
-Man: Yeah. Hi.
I-I saw your flier
for the store.
-Irene: Yes.
-Man: Are you the owner?
-Irene: Yes.
Own for almost 20 years.
-Man: Oh, great.
I-I've been looking at
storefronts in the area.
Not many are as
well-maintained as this one.
-Irene: [ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Man: Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
-Thank you.
-Yeah. You're welcome.
Um, so all the information
is right here, right?
-Irene: Yes. -Man: Can I ask
you a few questions?
-Irene: Okay.
-Man: Is the building zoned SC3?
-Irene: Yes.
-Man: And, does this price
include all the existing
equipment?
-Irene: Included in the price.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Indistinct voices ]
[ Door opens ] Joe?
[ Cellphone ringing ]
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Hip-hop music plays faintly ]
-I'm a member of the
psychiatric emergency team.
We were called in
to do an evaluation on Joe.
-Evaluation?
What did you wrote?
-Uh, release paperwork.
-Release?
-Well, we can only release him
if he's currently receiving
treatment.
Is he?
-He gets arrested?
-Officer: He was jaywalking.
-Jaywalking?
He gets arrested for that?
-Ma'am, we did not arrest him.
He was incoherent.
We thought it best
to bring him here.
Next time,
you want us to just leave him
wandering around in traffic?
No. I didn't think so.
-Is he receiving treatment?
-Yes.
-Where?
-APA Family Center.
-Okay.
-I noticed he turns 18 in a
few weeks. -Yes.
-Is this the first time
he's had an episode like this?
Well, if it happens again
and he's no longer a minor,
we are going to have to file
a 5150 hold.
If it's serious,
the doctor may order him
to be admitted
to a psychiatric facility.
Here is some information,
if you'd like to take a look.
Once he turns 18,
you're no longer
his legal guardian,
and his care
won't be in your hands.
You should plan for that.
[ Telephone ringing ]
-Irene: Joe, go the car.
-I want to know what's going on.
-The caseworker called me.
-Call you?
-To confirm that
I'm treating Joe
and answer some questions. But--
-Pictures I send to you,
you show to police?
-No. I--
-Pictures? What pictures?
-Uh, Mrs. Chao, can we just--
-No.
-If the school and I
can monitor him together,
I'm confident that we'll be
able to intervene.
-Everyone helping too much.
It's getting worse.
-Please. Just--
-We're going.
-His brain chemistry
is changing!
Joe, listen to me. We need to--
-Stay the f*ck away from us!
-I'm here for you.
-[ Coughing ]
-I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm trying. I really am.
Don't worry.
We'll take care of you.

he was long gone.
-Oh. He ask about g*ns?
-Actually, yes.
Bobby said that he was
over here the whole time.
-Eh...
You tape to here?
-Yeah, sure.
[ Horn blaring ]
-You can see from the imaging
despite the treatments,
the cancer has progressed
and spread to other areas.
At this point,
we don't have any other
treatment options available
beyond supportive care.
I'm so very sorry.
-One year?
-We can't know for sure.
But at this point
we are probably thinking
in terms of months.

I'm so sorry.

We're still out looking for
him every day,
but there is no sign of him yet.
We haven't given up hope.
Don't worry.
-Hi, Mrs. Chao.
It's Dr. Hsu calling again.
I realized
the last time we talked
was a stressful situation,
but I'm here to help.
Has Joe exhibited any further
fascination with violence?
Please call me back.
[ Tape rips ] -Man: We've been
keeping an eye out for him
since you called our hospital
more than a week ago.
You've asked the police
for assistance, yes?
-Irene: No. No police, please.
-Maria: Hi, Mrs. Chao.
This is Maria Zarate,
the caseworker
who evaluated your son.
I'm calling because Joe is
turning 18 soon,
and when he does,
your role in his care
becomes very restricted.
This is a crucial time.
Please call me back
so we can discuss further.
