Ray fell asleep. When he wakes up, it’s pretty late already. He asks at the counter how much longer it’s gonna be. She can’t tell as she doesn’t have the imaging schedule. When the list arrives, she can’t find any file under the name Peri Monroe. Dr. Berthram, under whose supervision Peri was, has left for the day.

Ray says he was permitted to pay cash and the counter girl never heard it being that way before. That means this hospital never permitted this way before so it can’t be done. The counter girl will never allow him to enter the hospital unless she can identify him with a patient. Ray gets angry and tells her to call the CAT scan room and see if there is a six year old kid and a woman still there.

It turns out that Joanne and Peri are not in the CAT scan chamber, which is quite impossible. Ray forcefully enters the hospital ignoring the security guard and gets Dr. Lucado who is nice and warm. He also doesn’t find Peri Monroe in the whole day schedule sheet. Ray notices the nurse Anne he dealt with before. Lucado asks her and gets to know it was Ray who was treated for a head injury.

Ray gets excited and asks what he has done to his family. They push Droperidol, five milligram, to get him weaker. When they leave him in a room, Ray pushes adrenaline in his body himself so that he gets more energy. He breaks out and finds Bruce who is in a doctor’s apron. It amazes him. He understands something isn’t right in this hospital.

He gets away from the hospital and finds a police car going. He gets the officers out of the car and tells them what happened. They were going home after having a get together in grandma’s house. At the gas station, Peri fell over and they ended up in this hospital.

The officers enter the hospital with him. To answer them Dr. Lucado states what the nurse said earlier. Mr. Monroe came alone to this hospital but Ray denies wanting to see his daughter and wife. They take them to the CAT scan room which is on the 3rd floor but Ray says he saw them going downstairs. 

There is no existence of Peri Monroe in the documents that surprises everyone. Ray is stubborn and implies that it doesn’t prove they were not here. When Lucado takes a little side to pick a phone, Ray tells the police they never brought Peri here, took her somewhere else. He pleads with them to figure that out.

They find the paper where Ray signed in for Peri but the doctor says he signed it for himself. In the meantime, Dr. Berthram gets in the hospital. Ray hopes at least he would acknowledge his words but no, he states the same as others.

According to his statement Ray was erratic when he walked in and had been in a car accident. Berthram suggested a head CT which he refused. Ray insisted on going back out to the lobby to wait for his wife Abby, his first wife. The police wondered as he told his wife’s name Joanne. Ray declares Abby is his first wife’s name. Abby has nothing to do with Peri and Joanne.

Ray claims they get Abby’s name from the insurance information and they are using it against him to make him look crazy. Actually they have kidnapped his family. Jeff, the security guard offers a solution that is CCTV footage. They find no footage of him going with his family. Ray keeps claiming it’s their security system problem that they have got no footage of his family.

The police want the record of the ER but that’s not available for patients’ privacy. Ray wants to search the hospital but that’s not possible as they have no warrant. When the police start to doubt him Suddenly Ray remembers something. The cashier at the service station where Peri fell, saw them together. Meanwhile, the doctor recommends a psychiatrist to deal with him.

With a head injury, it’s not uncommon to be confused or to mix things up, Ray is confused for that reason. Police tell Ray to get his act together otherwise he will go to jail.

Dr. Teresa Jacobs, the psychiatrist, comes forward to help him. Ray agrees upon talking with her in private. She has found his admission file, not Perri’s. Teresa asks about what happened before the car accident. Ray corrects her saying it wasn’t a car accident. She fell on a construction site.

In an abstract flashback we hear Abby’s scream. Abby, Ray’s first wife, had a car accident where he was too drunk to help her. But he doesn’t mention that. Teresa then asks a million dollar question that is why he told them that he was waiting for Abby. He replies Abby died eight years ago and it kills him.

After the reply Teresa immediately understands what actually happened. Something happened with Peri and Joanne that’s why he is now waiting for them. Teresa tells the police to take a look at the accident spot. Ray still thinks his wife and daughter are hidden down the hallway of this hospital.

Plot Twist; Fractured 2019:

White Green Aesthetic Minimalist Blank Document Border 7 1

Police take a dog to the accident spot and find a lot of blood and Peri’s missing compact. Police find the amount, way too much blood for Ray. It can be of someone who died so this is now a crime scene. Ray claims maybe the doctors planted Peri’s mirror and the blood for framing him.

Teresa asks again to Ray what happened before the accident. Ray concedes that he and Joanne had a fight about his marriage. According to Teresa, there was no dog. Ray was angry at Peri and angry at himself, so she picked up a rock and threw it at Peri. Then he lashed out at Joanne.

He lost his family once. When he saw what he had done to Peri and Joanne. His mind couldn’t accept the fact that it had happened all over again. She asks where they are but Ray remains silent.

At that moment, everyone sees a dog and Ray understands what he believes is true. He takes a gun hurriedly and tells everyone to move up and locks them in a room. He reaches out to the hospital again and enters using Teresa’s card.

When Abby died, she was pregnant. He lost both of them because of him. Ever since that happened, he can’t forgive him. He remembers Joanne saying to do something. He wears an apron and goes downstairs where they took Joanne and Peri, he thinks.

He defeats Jeff and takes the gun. He goes to a room where he sees two dead bodies, one’s body lost all of his organs and another one has lost eyes. He enters an operation theatre and finds Peri and Joanne. The doctors are gonna do the operation on Peri but Ray saves them reaching there at the right time.

When Peri falls on the construction site, she dies immediately. Then Joanne comes and puts all the blame on Ray. Ray gets angry and throws her aside and she dies too. Ray can’t accept that and his mind creates an alternate reality.

After that whatever we see on the screen, is what Ray is thinking. Nothing is real. When he sees two dead bodies in the end. Those are normal patients. Peri and Joanne are not in the operation theatre. There is another patient whom Ray picks up in his car and talks with it and sings that patient ‘I can sing a rainbow’. This scene will break your heart.

Memorable quotes and dialogues Fractured 2019:

White Green Aesthetic Minimalist Blank Document Border 10

‘You don’t fight for anything anymore.’

Actually every couple faces it. After some years of marriage, spouses lose interest or charm from their lives and don’t act like they did before. They don’t joke like before, don’t laugh like before, don’t caress like before and don’t even fight like before.

‘Maybe I should just say it more often, ’cause I love you..’

Couples should say to their partner ‘I love you’ more often. They should let their partners know how much they love them. Otherwise confusions, doubts will take place in their relationships. In the movie, Ray loves his wife but as he is not expressive, his wife doesn’t feel his love anymore. Then he says it to his wife.

‘I guess this is just the cherry on the cake.’

Joanne complains that Ray can’t do anything right. He is always clumsy. Joanne is fed up with his clumsiness. When Ray is searching the back of the car, he accidentally drops the coffee on the car sofa and he blames himself for the incident, saying it.

‘The mind can sometimes create an alternate reality, a false reality to shield itself from trauma.’

Sometimes when we commit such crimes we can’t even believe that we did. We can’t accept ourselves. At such moments, our mind can create an alternate reality which actually doesn’t exist. This condition is called Schizophrenia.

Why did Ray push Adrenaline into his body?

Adrenaline is a hormone which causes you to prepare for stressful situations. It helps you to deal with ‘fight or flight’ response. Adrenaline makes your heartbeat faster. It increases your blood pressure and makes your brain more alert.

The word schizophrenia means ‘Split mind’. The word ‘Fractured’ doesn’t refer to the fracture of the brain. This is the fracture of the mind.
