The effect was that I all but
lost the will to function.

1:17:07
Nightmares were telling me
I would never leave there alive.

1:17:14
Then lightning struck, bad lightning.
1:17:20
I had nowhere to turn.
1:17:24
Fearing the worst, suicide...
1:17:28
...I looked for protection.
1:17:30
I committed myself to the Scripps
Memorial Hospital, a loony bin.

1:17:36
I was put behind bars and
stripped of all my belongings.

1:17:39
The claustrophobia alone shot my blood
pressure up over to the 200 mark.

1:17:44
Not wanting a DO A on their hands, the
nurses shoved sedatives down my throat...

1:17:48
...trying to calm me.
A horrible mistake, with no way out.

1:17:54
Is it safe?
1:17:55
I had to take control of the never-ending
bad dream that my life had become.

1:18:00
Never having been
psychiatrically orientated...

1:18:04
...I knew that action, not therapy,
was my only shot at survival.

1:18:09
Take your time.
Tell me.

1:18:14
That night, I snuck out of my room and
found my way to a phone booth in the ward.

1:18:19
I called my limo driver,
John Paul, collect.

1:18:23
John Paul, meet me tomorrow
at noon, on the dot, and wait.

1:18:27
It might be an hour, a day, a week. I don't
care. Keep your motor running, got it?

1:18:35
The next morning, when all
the attendants were busy...

1:18:38
...I made my dash, and I made the elevator
as it closed behind me.

1:18:43
I made it, I made it, I thought to myself.
1:18:46
When I hit the bottom floor, the door opened.
There were two goons waiting for me.

1:18:54
You're a very nosy fella, kitty-cat.
1:18:57
You know what happens to nosy fellas?
No? Wanna guess?
