Earley checks in one last time with his contacts in Miami. Judy Robinson is battling for her son to receive his prescription for Zyprexa. She learns that because he needs two different pill dosages, his prescription was denied. Around this same time, she receives a call from a reporter at the Miami Herald that yet another person showing signs of psychosis was murdered by Miami-Dade police officers.

Judge Leifman is pleased with a reform that has passed in the Florida legislature to reform the Baker Act, which was helped along by Dr. Torrey’s TAC. He has also secured $22 million that he plans to use to move incarcerated people with mental illnesses from the ninth floor of the jail into their own special holding facility, but when Earley speaks to correctional officers at the jail about this development, they don’t believe it will happen.

Within several days, a man attempts suicide on the ninth floor. Freddie Gilbert also returns to the ninth floor, in the same bad condition that he left it in months earlier.
