Storyline

McCluskey (Lauren Lee Smith) and Dev (Rainbow Sun Francks) interrogate a convicted criminal mastermind, Magnus Elphrensen (Peter Outerbridge), after he reveals an ex-cell mate's plan to kidnap a superior court judge. When McCluskey and Dev attempt to thwart the kidnapping, a mix-up at the courthouse leads to another judge being kidnapped -- the real target all along. McCluskey suspects Magnus of having an ulterior motive and brings in Toby (Craig Olejnik) to investigate. With a ransom demand further complicating matters, Toby, McCluskey and Dev work together to locate the judge before time runs out. Toby must rely on his telepathic abilities more than ever to crack the intelligence of the man known as "The Magician," engaging in a cerebral showdown to uncover the genesis of the mastermind's latest scheme. Oz (Ennis Esmer) develops a crush on Sandy (Tara Spencer-Nairn), the hospital's head triage nurse. Toby's telepathic reads start to become accompanied by strange and unusual symptoms.
