Summary: <p>In 1973, a robber who looked like Bill Skarsgard took hostages in a Swedish bank. He demanded money, a fast car, and the release of a "pop gangster" prison buddy who looked like Armie Hammer. The Swedish government delivered.</p> <p>Reunited within the bank, the criminals quickly won over their captives -- a situation that coined the phrase "Stockholm Syndrome." We sometimes hear it today in reference to Patty Hearst and everyone living in America in 2018.</p> <p>If you enjoy this episode, we recommend Jeffrey Toobin's terrific "American Heiress," his account of Patty Hearst's kidnapping.</p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
