Michael manages to get hold of a paper and is shocked to discover that "his" house is up for sale. He breaks out again and gets Roger to tell him what is going on. Roger informs him that the reason Lisa is selling is because she is broke, the insurance company has refused to pay out on Michael's life insurance policy. When he learns this he pleads with Dr. Morris to give him 3 days of freedom so that he can convince his old boss, Craig Spence, to pay out the money to his wife.
