1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,880
- Subs created by: David Coleman.
- My name is Wesley Sumter.
2
00:00:05,938 --> 00:00:11,663
I've arranged for this video to be
released only in the event of my demise.
3
00:00:11,664 --> 00:00:17,259
So if you are watching this,
then I have already been killed.
4
00:00:17,260 --> 00:00:21,667
I was looking into the
suspicious deaths of...
5
00:00:21,668 --> 00:00:24,200
Senator Ted Paulson,
6
00:00:24,201 --> 00:00:27,211
software engineer Brian Willingham,
7
00:00:27,212 --> 00:00:32,012
and Chicago Star-Herald
reporter David Alcott.
8
00:00:32,084 --> 00:00:34,941
These men were all killed,
9
00:00:34,942 --> 00:00:37,974
as part of a conspiracy to influence the
10
00:00:37,975 --> 00:00:40,825
energy policy of The
United States government.
11
00:00:40,826 --> 00:00:45,830
Anytime I asked too many questions,
I was stonewalled, threatened.
12
00:00:45,831 --> 00:00:50,485
I went to the only person I
knew who could help me...
13
00:00:50,486 --> 00:00:52,823
A friend...
14
00:00:52,824 --> 00:00:55,730
With close connections to the FBI...
15
00:00:55,731 --> 00:01:00,030
And asked him to launch an
official investigation.
16
00:01:00,031 --> 00:01:02,924
If his experiences have been...
17
00:01:02,925 --> 00:01:05,925
Anything like mine...
18
00:01:06,022 --> 00:01:09,501
People have also dismissed his claims.
19
00:01:09,502 --> 00:01:12,502
My death is proof...
20
00:01:12,598 --> 00:01:16,641
Not only that my friend and
I are telling the truth.
21
00:01:16,642 --> 00:01:21,395
But that these conspirators
will go to any extreme
22
00:01:21,396 --> 00:01:25,236
for this truth not to come out!
23
00:01:25,767 --> 00:01:30,667
So you're trying to tell me that this
guy actually predicted his own murder?
24
00:01:30,668 --> 00:01:32,339
We haven't found a body.
25
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:36,147
So, as far as you know, this
could all be one big hoax.
26
00:01:36,148 --> 00:01:38,899
We have a witness who says
that he saw Wesley killed,
27
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:42,529
and the shaky camera work tells
us that somebody shot the video,
28
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:45,976
and it could be that same
somebody who posted it online.
29
00:01:45,977 --> 00:01:48,717
We want a C.A.R.T.
Unit to trace the I.P. Address.
30
00:01:48,718 --> 00:01:50,668
Moretti...
31
00:01:50,669 --> 00:01:52,613
Why is this so important to you?
32
00:01:52,614 --> 00:01:56,446
Because our witness, the "friend"
that Wesley mentions in the video,
33
00:01:56,447 --> 00:02:00,037
is my friend Daniel Pierce, and I
owe it to him to prove to everyone
34
00:02:00,038 --> 00:02:04,718
that he's not as crazy as everybody thinks.
35
00:02:08,464 --> 00:02:10,444
Hello?
36
00:02:11,635 --> 00:02:13,615
Hello?
37
00:02:13,825 --> 00:02:16,451
The food in this place is inedible.
38
00:02:16,452 --> 00:02:19,212
If I'm still seeing you, then
the drugs are lousy, too.
39
00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:21,906
There's not much I can do
about the food, I'm afraid,
40
00:02:21,907 --> 00:02:27,807
but if the meds aren't working, I
can see about tweaking your dosage.
41
00:02:28,307 --> 00:02:31,064
Natalie, what's with the getup?
42
00:02:31,065 --> 00:02:36,965
It's not like you have to blend in.
No one else can see you.
43
00:02:38,350 --> 00:02:40,930
Who's Natalie?
44
00:02:44,579 --> 00:02:47,639
I'm Caroline Newsome.
45
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:51,662
I'm a psychiatrist.
You're at Hubbard Memorial Center.
46
00:02:51,663 --> 00:02:53,583
Wait.
47
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:57,940
- You're messing with me.
- No one's messing with you, Dr. Pierce.
48
00:02:57,941 --> 00:03:00,405
You checked yourself in two days ago,
49
00:03:00,406 --> 00:03:03,000
presenting with acute symptoms
of paranoid Schizophrenia.
50
00:03:03,001 --> 00:03:05,950
I know my damn diagnosis.
I've been living with it for 25 years.
51
00:03:05,951 --> 00:03:10,186
I know this is difficult for you.
I'm just trying to help.
52
00:03:10,187 --> 00:03:13,302
I know what you're doing.
53
00:03:13,303 --> 00:03:16,434
You're pretending to be somebody else...
54
00:03:16,435 --> 00:03:22,075
So that I'll realize that...
That none of this is real.
55
00:03:22,310 --> 00:03:23,888
This whole thing's a delusion.
56
00:03:23,889 --> 00:03:26,889
- Dr. Pierce?
- Shh!
57
00:03:34,814 --> 00:03:37,154
Dr. Pierce!
58
00:03:47,542 --> 00:03:48,951
Lewicki.
59
00:03:48,952 --> 00:03:50,644
- Lewicki!
- Doc. What are you doing?
60
00:03:50,645 --> 00:03:52,320
- Where are you going?
- Tell me where I am.
61
00:03:52,321 --> 00:03:53,852
Dr. Pierce, come back to your room.
62
00:03:53,853 --> 00:03:56,854
You're in the hospital, Doc, okay?
I just brought you some puzzles.
63
00:03:56,855 --> 00:03:59,095
- Are there other people here?
- Yes, there's a bunch of people.
64
00:03:59,096 --> 00:04:03,517
There's orderlies and
nurses and the Doctor here.
65
00:04:03,518 --> 00:04:06,030
- You can see her?
- Yes, I can see her.
66
00:04:06,031 --> 00:04:08,052
- Describe her to me.
- What?
67
00:04:08,053 --> 00:04:09,419
Tell me what she looks like!
68
00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:10,952
20cc of valium, stat.
69
00:04:10,953 --> 00:04:14,359
Okay, the Doctor here is
blonde with blue eyes...
70
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,743
No, no, no. No. No.
71
00:04:16,744 --> 00:04:19,566
If you can see her, then that
means you're not real, either.
72
00:04:19,567 --> 00:04:24,067
- No, no. Doc...
- None of this is real!
73
00:04:25,469 --> 00:04:29,189
I'm sorry. I had to do that.
74
00:04:30,334 --> 00:04:34,108
But this is what you hired
me for, remember, Doc?
75
00:04:34,109 --> 00:04:39,765
To keep you straight.
To tell you what is real and what isn't.
76
00:04:39,766 --> 00:04:42,097
Now, I'm telling you, Doc,
you're in the hospital,
77
00:04:42,098 --> 00:04:44,681
and you're having a rough time.
78
00:04:44,682 --> 00:04:48,896
But the lady here is gonna make you better.
79
00:04:48,897 --> 00:04:50,817
Okay?
80
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:05,964
You are gonna be able to
help him, aren't you?
81
00:05:05,965 --> 00:05:10,563
He should improve once the
anti-psychotics kick in.
82
00:05:10,564 --> 00:05:14,403
He thought that I was
someone named Natalie.
83
00:05:14,404 --> 00:05:17,764
Do you know who that is?
84
00:05:20,209 --> 00:05:24,529
Natalie is one of Doc's hallucinations.
85
00:05:24,650 --> 00:05:27,312
He talks to her all the time about his...
86
00:05:27,313 --> 00:05:30,466
His problems, his cases.
87
00:05:30,467 --> 00:05:35,387
As weird as it sounds,
she's his best friend.
88
00:05:35,662 --> 00:05:37,628
Excuse me, Dr. Newsome.
89
00:05:37,629 --> 00:05:39,931
There's a woman here with the FBI.
90
00:05:39,932 --> 00:05:43,832
She insists on seeing Dr. Pierce.
91
00:05:43,927 --> 00:05:45,480
He's resting now.
92
00:05:45,481 --> 00:05:47,926
I'm hoping he'll be ready for
visitors in a couple of days.
93
00:05:47,927 --> 00:05:49,597
Nope. I need to see him today.
94
00:05:49,598 --> 00:05:51,563
I'm sure you're just trying to do your job,
95
00:05:51,564 --> 00:05:53,648
but my job is to take care of my patient.
96
00:05:53,649 --> 00:05:57,053
Listen, I found out that the big delusion
that landed Daniel in this place
97
00:05:57,054 --> 00:05:58,804
might not have been a delusion after all.
98
00:05:58,805 --> 00:05:59,799
What do you mean?
99
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,319
Daniel claimed to have witnessed a murder,
100
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,161
but nobody believed him because
there was no evidence of a crime,
101
00:06:04,162 --> 00:06:08,069
but now we have strong indications
that what Daniel saw was real.
102
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:09,913
He needs to know that.
103
00:06:09,914 --> 00:06:14,275
Witnessing such a violent act may be the
reason he decompensated so quickly.
104
00:06:14,276 --> 00:06:16,712
Reliving that incident right
now wouldn't be good for him.
105
00:06:16,713 --> 00:06:19,080
Due respect, you don't know Daniel...
106
00:06:19,081 --> 00:06:20,251
I do.
107
00:06:20,252 --> 00:06:24,438
Knowing that what he saw was real
might help him get his dignity back.
108
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:26,159
It might help him start to get better.
109
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,562
I appreciate your concern,
but I'm his Doctor,
110
00:06:29,563 --> 00:06:35,463
and I'll decide when he's stable
enough to talk about all of this.
111
00:06:36,776 --> 00:06:38,225
Moretti.
112
00:06:38,226 --> 00:06:39,488
Got the I.P. Address.
113
00:06:39,489 --> 00:06:42,370
Video was posted from an
Internet café in Evanston.
114
00:06:42,371 --> 00:06:44,360
Well, so, anybody could've sent it.
115
00:06:44,361 --> 00:06:46,480
I checked credit-card
purchases at the café.
116
00:06:46,481 --> 00:06:49,316
Someone named Alex Willingham
bought a decaf mocha
117
00:06:49,317 --> 00:06:51,096
10 minutes before the video was uploaded.
118
00:06:51,097 --> 00:06:54,314
That's the same last name as the
software engineer who committed suicide.
119
00:06:54,315 --> 00:07:00,215
I ran a search. Got a pretty good
idea of where we can find him.
120
00:07:00,689 --> 00:07:03,749
- Great.
- Thank you.
121
00:07:03,768 --> 00:07:06,828
Alex? Alex Willingham?
122
00:07:08,063 --> 00:07:09,630
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
123
00:07:09,631 --> 00:07:12,428
Where you going in such a hurry, kid, huh?
124
00:07:12,429 --> 00:07:15,143
I'm Agent Moretti.
This is Agent Probert, FBI.
125
00:07:15,144 --> 00:07:18,409
We just want to ask you a couple questions.
126
00:07:18,410 --> 00:07:20,199
I didn't want to do it.
127
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,300
Didn't want to do what?
128
00:07:23,301 --> 00:07:26,001
I killed Wesley.
129
00:07:31,394 --> 00:07:32,655
Me and my dad.
130
00:07:32,656 --> 00:07:35,234
I mean, it was just us after
my mom left last year.
131
00:07:35,235 --> 00:07:37,035
That must've been tough.
132
00:07:37,036 --> 00:07:38,956
Yeah.
133
00:07:39,248 --> 00:07:40,840
Then he started having trouble at work.
134
00:07:40,841 --> 00:07:42,820
What kind of trouble?
135
00:07:42,821 --> 00:07:45,668
He wouldn't tell me.
136
00:07:45,669 --> 00:07:47,453
But he was nervous all the time.
137
00:07:47,454 --> 00:07:49,914
Acting funny.
138
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:53,748
They said that he killed himself, but
I knew that he would never do that.
139
00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:55,256
You thought it was an accident?
140
00:07:55,257 --> 00:07:57,547
Somebody killed him.
141
00:07:57,548 --> 00:07:59,532
Because of whatever was
going on at his work.
142
00:07:59,533 --> 00:08:03,614
Besides your dad's unusual behavior,
do you have reason to believe
143
00:08:03,615 --> 00:08:07,269
that anyone at his work could've
been involved in his death?
144
00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:09,236
Well, I started googling Verteron,
145
00:08:09,237 --> 00:08:12,823
and I found these blog posts from
someone called "Truth Bomb."
146
00:08:12,824 --> 00:08:14,621
And he said that Verteron
had messed with the
147
00:08:14,622 --> 00:08:17,511
software in the Senator's
plane to make it crash...
148
00:08:17,512 --> 00:08:20,807
And that my dad was killed
because he found out.
149
00:08:20,808 --> 00:08:22,398
Truth Bomb was Wesley.
150
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:23,472
Yeah.
151
00:08:23,473 --> 00:08:29,067
I mean, he told me that my dad didn't
kill himself, that he was a hero...
152
00:08:29,068 --> 00:08:32,456
And he was gonna expose
all these bad people.
153
00:08:32,457 --> 00:08:34,467
We just needed to find
evidence to prove it.
154
00:08:34,468 --> 00:08:36,332
And did you?
155
00:08:36,333 --> 00:08:38,485
We got this reporter to help us.
156
00:08:38,486 --> 00:08:40,704
But then he died in a car wreck,
157
00:08:40,705 --> 00:08:44,577
so Wesley got this idea to talk with
some guy that worked with the FBI.
158
00:08:44,578 --> 00:08:46,212
Daniel Pierce.
159
00:08:46,213 --> 00:08:49,600
Wesley told me that if he was murdered,
160
00:08:49,601 --> 00:08:54,733
it would convince this Pierce guy that
there really was some big conspiracy.
161
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:57,130
The FBI would have to investigate it.
162
00:08:57,131 --> 00:08:59,723
I mean, I told him "no way."
163
00:08:59,724 --> 00:09:01,920
I couldn't kill anybody...
164
00:09:01,921 --> 00:09:03,892
Especially not him.
165
00:09:03,893 --> 00:09:07,133
This guy was my friend.
166
00:09:08,032 --> 00:09:11,184
He said it was the only way
to bring justice for my dad.
167
00:09:11,185 --> 00:09:14,605
Listen, Alex, I understand.
168
00:09:15,518 --> 00:09:17,176
Okay?
169
00:09:17,177 --> 00:09:21,557
I know that you did this for your dad.
170
00:09:22,676 --> 00:09:27,836
Now it's time to tell me
how you pulled it off.
171
00:09:28,071 --> 00:09:31,660
Wesley got this guy to
the spot we picked out.
172
00:09:31,661 --> 00:09:35,048
My dad had this crossbow for deer hunting,
173
00:09:35,049 --> 00:09:39,503
and Wesley said the arrow
wouldn't leave any blood.
174
00:09:39,504 --> 00:09:42,144
So I shot him.
175
00:09:43,169 --> 00:09:45,054
I shot again.
176
00:09:45,055 --> 00:09:48,655
I scared the other guy away.
177
00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:52,445
Then I got rid of the second arrow.
178
00:09:52,446 --> 00:09:55,319
What about the body?
179
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,500
Wesley got this idea...
180
00:09:58,808 --> 00:10:02,591
To bury a tarp under the dirt...
181
00:10:02,592 --> 00:10:07,337
So all I would have to
do was roll up Wesley...
182
00:10:07,338 --> 00:10:10,278
Drag the body away.
183
00:10:10,948 --> 00:10:13,108
Please...
184
00:10:14,117 --> 00:10:15,678
Please...
185
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,329
You have to find the truth about
what really happened to my dad.
186
00:10:20,330 --> 00:10:22,670
Otherwise...
187
00:10:23,971 --> 00:10:27,511
I killed Wesley for nothing.
188
00:10:29,382 --> 00:10:31,842
Good morning.
189
00:10:32,853 --> 00:10:34,713
Hey.
190
00:10:34,940 --> 00:10:38,120
Do you know who I am?
191
00:10:39,284 --> 00:10:40,836
You're not Natalie.
192
00:10:40,837 --> 00:10:43,537
I get it, okay?
193
00:10:43,953 --> 00:10:45,873
Good.
194
00:10:48,961 --> 00:10:51,677
What did you say your name was?
195
00:10:51,678 --> 00:10:53,372
Caroline Newsome.
196
00:10:53,373 --> 00:10:54,579
Caroline Newsome.
197
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:58,081
And we never met at a conference or...
198
00:10:58,082 --> 00:10:59,435
I'd have remembered.
199
00:10:59,436 --> 00:11:01,953
I'm very familiar with your work.
200
00:11:01,954 --> 00:11:04,971
I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
201
00:11:04,972 --> 00:11:07,058
Now that your meds seem to be working,
202
00:11:07,059 --> 00:11:10,456
I'd like to start you on some individual
counseling, as well as group.
203
00:11:10,457 --> 00:11:13,778
Okay, let's get something
straight, uh, I'm not here...
204
00:11:13,779 --> 00:11:16,429
To get in touch with my feelings.
I'm here for the meds,
205
00:11:16,430 --> 00:11:18,640
and to get stable, and then
I'm getting the hell out,
206
00:11:18,641 --> 00:11:20,733
which is exactly what you can do right now.
207
00:11:20,734 --> 00:11:23,520
- I'll come back later.
- Don't come back.
208
00:11:23,521 --> 00:11:25,928
You hear me? Don't come back!
209
00:11:25,929 --> 00:11:29,649
I don't want to talk to you!
210
00:11:31,025 --> 00:11:32,411
Mr. Lewicki.
211
00:11:32,412 --> 00:11:34,046
You wouldn't be trying
to duck me, would you?
212
00:11:34,047 --> 00:11:35,434
No. No, Sir.
213
00:11:35,435 --> 00:11:38,156
Then why haven't you
returned my phone calls?
214
00:11:38,157 --> 00:11:39,785
You wouldn't be attempting
to cover up the reason
215
00:11:39,786 --> 00:11:44,978
Professor Pierce has canceled classes
two days in a row, would you?
216
00:11:44,979 --> 00:11:48,716
You see, uh, Sir, Professor
Pierce had to take a little trip.
217
00:11:48,717 --> 00:11:52,328
Mr. Lewicki, I admire your loyalty
to my friend Daniel Pierce,
218
00:11:52,329 --> 00:11:55,186
but I have known him since
you were wearing Huggies.
219
00:11:55,187 --> 00:11:58,547
Now tell me where he is.
220
00:11:59,096 --> 00:12:02,066
I'm afraid Doctor Pierce
is refusing all visitors.
221
00:12:02,067 --> 00:12:03,729
Stubborn bastard.
222
00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:05,189
He's always been like this.
223
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:08,447
- How long have you known him?
- We were college roommates.
224
00:12:08,448 --> 00:12:11,012
He's been pretty resistant to therapy.
225
00:12:11,013 --> 00:12:13,504
Would you mind answering some questions?
226
00:12:13,505 --> 00:12:15,905
Not at all.
227
00:12:16,158 --> 00:12:18,991
Does he have a friend named Natalie?
228
00:12:18,992 --> 00:12:22,473
Yeah. She was Daniel's
girlfriend back in the day.
229
00:12:22,474 --> 00:12:24,324
Mm. What was she like?
230
00:12:24,325 --> 00:12:26,043
You know, funny enough, I never met her.
231
00:12:26,044 --> 00:12:27,698
I don't understand. I thought...
232
00:12:27,699 --> 00:12:29,679
See...
233
00:12:29,908 --> 00:12:32,073
Daniel and I take this road trip, okay,
234
00:12:32,074 --> 00:12:34,964
our junior year to the
University of Michigan.
235
00:12:34,965 --> 00:12:36,811
Their spring fling?
236
00:12:36,812 --> 00:12:38,305
A real rager.
237
00:12:38,306 --> 00:12:42,260
Sunday afternoon, I wake up on
the floor of some sorority...
238
00:12:42,261 --> 00:12:45,043
And Daniel is there, he's all excited.
239
00:12:45,044 --> 00:12:49,759
He has met the girl of his
dreams at some other party, but,
240
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,039
you know, we had finals coming
up, so we had to get back.
241
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,197
But he started a relationship
with this Natalie?
242
00:12:56,198 --> 00:12:58,448
Mm-hmm. A real long-distance thing.
243
00:12:58,449 --> 00:13:01,033
He talked to her for hours on the phone.
244
00:13:01,034 --> 00:13:03,566
He'd visit her on the weekends.
245
00:13:03,567 --> 00:13:08,299
But then he, uh...
He started showing symptoms.
246
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:11,397
Then ended up in the hospital.
247
00:13:11,398 --> 00:13:15,538
Thank you. You've been very helpful.
248
00:13:20,482 --> 00:13:22,452
I thought I told you not to come back.
249
00:13:22,453 --> 00:13:23,983
You might want to hear what I have to say.
250
00:13:23,984 --> 00:13:26,036
Oh, I doubt that very much.
251
00:13:26,037 --> 00:13:28,557
I am Natalie.
252
00:13:30,772 --> 00:13:32,960
What the hell is this?
253
00:13:32,961 --> 00:13:35,553
First you insist you're not
Natalie, now you claim you are?
254
00:13:35,554 --> 00:13:37,975
If this is some sort of
therapeutic technique,
255
00:13:37,976 --> 00:13:40,243
you don't know very much about
treating schizophrenics.
256
00:13:40,244 --> 00:13:41,706
I spoke to your friend Paul Haley.
257
00:13:41,707 --> 00:13:43,670
I don't want you talking to my friends.
258
00:13:43,671 --> 00:13:47,272
He told me about a road trip the two of
you took to the University of Michigan.
259
00:13:47,273 --> 00:13:48,987
So?
260
00:13:48,988 --> 00:13:51,928
I went to Michigan.
261
00:13:52,548 --> 00:13:56,208
I think you must've seen me.
262
00:13:57,933 --> 00:13:59,793
Yes.
263
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:02,920
Yes.
264
00:14:02,921 --> 00:14:06,632
I got separated from Paul, and
I ended up at this fraternity
265
00:14:06,633 --> 00:14:09,045
with this bunch of idiots.
266
00:14:09,046 --> 00:14:11,145
They were... They were playing quarters
267
00:14:11,146 --> 00:14:15,700
and acting like assholes
so I went outside...
268
00:14:15,701 --> 00:14:18,341
And I saw you.
269
00:14:18,544 --> 00:14:24,444
You were standing there all by yourself
and nursing a beer in a plastic cup.
270
00:14:24,448 --> 00:14:30,348
You brushed this loose strand of hair
behind your ear, and I thought...
271
00:14:31,028 --> 00:14:34,756
"That's the most beautiful
girl I've ever seen."
272
00:14:34,757 --> 00:14:37,622
And I almost walked away, but then...
273
00:14:37,623 --> 00:14:41,715
This voice in my head kept telling
me, "Daniel, don't be an idiot."
274
00:14:41,716 --> 00:14:43,201
"You'll never see this girl again,
275
00:14:43,202 --> 00:14:46,971
and you'll regret it for the
rest of your pathetic life."
276
00:14:46,972 --> 00:14:49,310
So... So I walked...
277
00:14:49,311 --> 00:14:52,457
I walked over there, and... And...
And I could barely get my name out,
278
00:14:52,458 --> 00:14:55,755
and you laughed and made some joke about
English being my second language,
279
00:14:55,756 --> 00:14:58,766
and... And we...
We ended up out on the green.
280
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:01,768
Just... Just talking a-and
laughing and holding hands,
281
00:15:01,769 --> 00:15:04,376
talking about Rilke and the Smiths.
282
00:15:04,377 --> 00:15:05,287
Remember?
283
00:15:05,288 --> 00:15:08,948
Till... Till the sun came up.
284
00:15:09,270 --> 00:15:12,330
I was at that party.
285
00:15:13,252 --> 00:15:16,312
But I never met you.
286
00:15:16,323 --> 00:15:19,111
How could you forget?
287
00:15:19,112 --> 00:15:21,872
I didn't forget.
288
00:15:28,436 --> 00:15:32,396
I was too scared to talk to you.
289
00:15:41,404 --> 00:15:46,084
So that voice in my head was the beginning.
290
00:15:46,275 --> 00:15:51,075
I was losing my mind
earlier than I thought.
291
00:15:57,243 --> 00:15:59,583
I'm sorry.
292
00:16:00,525 --> 00:16:04,005
I'd like to be alone now.
293
00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:19,502
Okay. Thanks.
294
00:16:20,145 --> 00:16:22,455
Henderson, from the
white-collar task force.
295
00:16:22,456 --> 00:16:26,300
Turns out there was an investigation
of illegal activity at Verteron.
296
00:16:26,301 --> 00:16:29,654
So maybe the kid was
right about his father.
297
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,923
Why do you look like somebody
just killed your cat?
298
00:16:31,924 --> 00:16:35,797
Because Alex's father didn't stumble onto
some conspiracy to rig an election...
299
00:16:35,798 --> 00:16:38,761
He was the target of an investigation.
300
00:16:38,762 --> 00:16:42,461
Turns out he was selling software
code to Verteron's competitors,
301
00:16:42,462 --> 00:16:46,582
and on the day he died, he was fired and
told that he was gonna be prosecuted.
302
00:16:46,583 --> 00:16:49,248
Which explains why he offed himself.
303
00:16:49,249 --> 00:16:50,686
Do you have the accident report?
304
00:16:50,687 --> 00:16:51,729
Yeah.
305
00:16:51,730 --> 00:16:56,191
They found a dent and paint transfer on
the rear bumper of the reporter's car.
306
00:16:56,192 --> 00:16:58,650
So maybe somebody was trying
to run him off the road.
307
00:16:58,651 --> 00:17:00,141
Keep reading.
308
00:17:00,142 --> 00:17:03,354
The guy's girlfriend told the cops
that she backed it up into a stanchion
309
00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:05,095
at the supermarket the week before.
310
00:17:05,096 --> 00:17:07,299
Did you corroborate that?
311
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:12,400
Kate, we're FBI agents.
We are not traffic cops.
312
00:17:13,454 --> 00:17:18,014
Look, I know you care about Pierce, but...
313
00:17:18,354 --> 00:17:21,231
I care about you, and I'm
starting to worry that he's
314
00:17:21,232 --> 00:17:25,016
not the only one that needs
a mental-health day.
315
00:17:25,017 --> 00:17:27,559
Maybe I am a little obsessed.
316
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,186
So, you know, let's knock off.
317
00:17:30,187 --> 00:17:33,870
Get a couple of beers and some burgers.
318
00:17:33,871 --> 00:17:38,311
You go ahead. I'll, uh, I'll catch up.
319
00:17:38,622 --> 00:17:40,583
You're gonna call the guy's
girlfriend the second I leave, right?
320
00:17:40,584 --> 00:17:42,804
Oh, yeah.
321
00:17:43,693 --> 00:17:47,824
Miss Crane, we're very sorry for your loss.
322
00:17:47,825 --> 00:17:51,323
Do you know what David was
working on before he died?
323
00:17:51,324 --> 00:17:53,391
He was paranoid to talk about it.
324
00:17:53,392 --> 00:17:54,903
Paranoid in what way?
325
00:17:54,904 --> 00:17:57,044
He thought people were after him.
326
00:17:57,045 --> 00:17:58,208
What people?
327
00:17:58,209 --> 00:18:00,789
I don't know.
328
00:18:00,828 --> 00:18:04,534
Miss Crane, the police have ruled
your boyfriend's death an accident,
329
00:18:04,535 --> 00:18:08,424
but if you have reason to believe
otherwise and you don't tell us,
330
00:18:08,425 --> 00:18:13,797
you can be charged with obstruction
and accessory after the fact.
331
00:18:13,798 --> 00:18:17,698
I'm not saying it's true, okay?
332
00:18:18,262 --> 00:18:22,839
But if I did something
bad, to help David...
333
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,207
And that something bad got him killed...
334
00:18:26,208 --> 00:18:30,048
Can you, you know... Protect me?
335
00:18:30,430 --> 00:18:34,296
Miss Crane, if you have knowledge
of a crime that puts you in danger,
336
00:18:34,297 --> 00:18:37,477
we will keep you safe.
337
00:18:43,572 --> 00:18:45,669
I work...
338
00:18:45,670 --> 00:18:47,161
For the phone company.
339
00:18:47,162 --> 00:18:50,100
And David wanted the access
code to some guy's voice mail
340
00:18:50,101 --> 00:18:53,688
so he could listen to his messages.
341
00:18:53,689 --> 00:18:57,203
David said that this was the story
that could make his career,
342
00:18:57,204 --> 00:19:00,952
so I gave him the code,
and whatever he heard...
343
00:19:00,953 --> 00:19:02,654
Got him driven off the road.
344
00:19:02,655 --> 00:19:05,320
Why did you tell the police that you
were the one that dented the car?
345
00:19:05,321 --> 00:19:08,918
Because whoever is out
there that killed David,
346
00:19:08,919 --> 00:19:11,752
if they find out what I did,
they might kill me, too.
347
00:19:11,753 --> 00:19:13,791
Laura...
348
00:19:13,792 --> 00:19:16,758
Whose voice mail did David listen to?
349
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:20,119
A man named Leo Attinger.
350
00:19:23,131 --> 00:19:26,995
Leo Attinger is the new
Senator's Chief of Staff.
351
00:19:26,996 --> 00:19:28,915
So, what can I do for you?
352
00:19:28,916 --> 00:19:32,801
Are you familiar with a Star-Herald
reporter named David Alcott...
353
00:19:32,802 --> 00:19:35,092
He died recently in a car accident?
354
00:19:35,093 --> 00:19:36,164
Yeah, I heard about that.
355
00:19:36,165 --> 00:19:38,962
We're investigating allegations
that he was hacking cellphones,
356
00:19:38,963 --> 00:19:44,003
and we believe that you
may have been a victim.
357
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,298
That explains it.
358
00:19:46,299 --> 00:19:47,862
Explains what?
359
00:19:47,863 --> 00:19:51,305
After the plane crash,
there was speculation...
360
00:19:51,306 --> 00:19:54,472
That the Governor would appoint
Helen Paulson, the Senator's widow,
361
00:19:54,473 --> 00:19:55,978
to serve out his term.
362
00:19:55,979 --> 00:19:57,837
But she called a press conference,
363
00:19:57,838 --> 00:19:59,648
and announced that she wouldn't
accept the appointment.
364
00:19:59,649 --> 00:20:01,320
And endorsed Ryland, right?
365
00:20:01,321 --> 00:20:04,046
Well, the night before Mrs.
Paulson made that announcement,
366
00:20:04,047 --> 00:20:07,682
she left me a very strange
voice mail message.
367
00:20:07,683 --> 00:20:08,742
Saying what?
368
00:20:08,743 --> 00:20:12,224
She said she'd gotten the
filthy package I'd sent,
369
00:20:12,225 --> 00:20:15,013
and she was gonna withdraw
her name from consideration.
370
00:20:15,014 --> 00:20:17,562
Did you send her a package?
371
00:20:17,563 --> 00:20:20,919
I had no idea what she was
talking about, but...
372
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,794
Her husband was Ryland's mentor,
373
00:20:22,795 --> 00:20:26,109
so I asked Ryland and the
rest of the campaign staff...
374
00:20:26,110 --> 00:20:28,462
If anybody knew anything
about it, and nobody did.
375
00:20:28,463 --> 00:20:31,539
And you think David Alcott
heard this voice mail message?
376
00:20:31,540 --> 00:20:36,034
He came to me, insinuating that I
had blackmailed Mrs. Paulson...
377
00:20:36,035 --> 00:20:38,398
Into dropping out so that I could
get Senator Ryland elected.
378
00:20:38,399 --> 00:20:40,981
I didn't know where the hell
he was getting that from.
379
00:20:40,982 --> 00:20:41,909
Now I do.
380
00:20:41,910 --> 00:20:45,523
Yeah, well, you got to admit, things turned
out pretty well for you and your candidate.
381
00:20:45,524 --> 00:20:47,564
Well...
382
00:20:48,021 --> 00:20:50,825
I'm not gonna lie to you, Agent Moretti.
383
00:20:50,826 --> 00:20:53,631
In the world of bare-knuckled
Illinois politics,
384
00:20:53,632 --> 00:20:56,615
strong-arming a widow out of
accepting her husband's seat
385
00:20:56,616 --> 00:20:58,937
so that I can get my guy the job?
386
00:20:58,938 --> 00:21:00,841
That'd be quite a coup.
387
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:04,272
But... I had nothing to do with it.
388
00:21:04,273 --> 00:21:07,033
Want a jellybean?
389
00:21:07,702 --> 00:21:10,582
How are you doing?
390
00:21:10,743 --> 00:21:13,683
Just peachy, thanks.
391
00:21:15,308 --> 00:21:17,111
I have to admit, I'm curious.
392
00:21:17,112 --> 00:21:19,007
I would've thought, after you
got out of the hospital,
393
00:21:19,008 --> 00:21:22,078
you would've gone looking for Natalie
and found out she wasn't real.
394
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,696
I knew my prognosis.
395
00:21:24,697 --> 00:21:27,270
No cure, inevitable relapses,
396
00:21:27,271 --> 00:21:32,671
terrible side effects from
primitive soul-sucking meds.
397
00:21:32,684 --> 00:21:35,419
The Natalie I knew would've
tried to take care of me.
398
00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:39,634
I couldn't stand the thought of that, so...
399
00:21:39,635 --> 00:21:42,414
I decided it was better to
have no contact at all.
400
00:21:42,415 --> 00:21:45,790
But you did see her again.
401
00:21:45,791 --> 00:21:48,791
I'm a classic case.
402
00:21:50,201 --> 00:21:54,295
I got my degrees.
I was teaching and writing.
403
00:21:54,296 --> 00:21:57,212
I thought, "hey, I've beaten this thing."
404
00:21:57,213 --> 00:22:00,592
So you weaned yourself off the meds.
405
00:22:00,593 --> 00:22:04,406
Then one day, there's a
knock on the door...
406
00:22:04,407 --> 00:22:06,338
And it's Natalie.
407
00:22:06,339 --> 00:22:08,749
And she said, "hey, you."
408
00:22:08,750 --> 00:22:13,550
"Guess who just got a
teaching job at CLMU."
409
00:22:14,249 --> 00:22:17,038
And I was over the moon.
410
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:21,265
But at some point, you realized
that she wasn't really there.
411
00:22:21,266 --> 00:22:23,648
We were at the field museum.
412
00:22:23,649 --> 00:22:26,515
And I was laughing my ass off
at something funny she said
413
00:22:26,516 --> 00:22:29,816
about the pachyderm diorama,
and this little kid taps me.
414
00:22:29,817 --> 00:22:32,564
He says, "hey, Mister."
415
00:22:32,565 --> 00:22:36,481
"Why are you talking to yourself?"
416
00:22:36,482 --> 00:22:40,038
And I looked around, and I...
Realized that everybody was staring at me
417
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:41,938
instead of the elephants.
418
00:22:41,939 --> 00:22:45,210
That must've been painful.
419
00:22:45,211 --> 00:22:48,631
I liked having her around.
420
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:52,884
Even if it meant getting
stared at once in a while.
421
00:22:52,885 --> 00:22:56,702
When things got really bad, I
tried the latest drug, and...
422
00:22:56,703 --> 00:23:02,311
Natalie and the other less-pleasant
visitors would go away.
423
00:23:02,312 --> 00:23:05,093
Or at least they wouldn't
come around as often.
424
00:23:05,094 --> 00:23:09,701
And I'd think, "okay, this time...
This time I've got it licked."
425
00:23:09,702 --> 00:23:13,484
And then the cycle would start again.
426
00:23:13,485 --> 00:23:16,696
But I always believed...
427
00:23:16,697 --> 00:23:19,063
There was this one...
428
00:23:19,064 --> 00:23:21,637
Beautiful summer...
429
00:23:21,638 --> 00:23:25,199
Before I became a complete wacko.
430
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,460
Where I had what normal people have...
431
00:23:29,489 --> 00:23:31,889
Someone to love.
432
00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:34,470
Something real.
433
00:23:35,628 --> 00:23:38,868
And now I look at you.
434
00:23:38,908 --> 00:23:43,528
The most familiar stranger I've ever met...
435
00:23:44,537 --> 00:23:48,617
And I know I never had it at all.
436
00:23:50,409 --> 00:23:52,869
I'm sorry...
437
00:23:54,614 --> 00:23:58,748
That I'm not the person you thought I was.
438
00:23:58,749 --> 00:24:00,729
Truly.
439
00:24:04,875 --> 00:24:08,527
Tell me, Doctor, in your
professional opinion.
440
00:24:08,528 --> 00:24:12,971
What's more serious, hallucinating a
lifelong friendship that never existed...
441
00:24:12,972 --> 00:24:17,981
Or witnessing a brutal but
completely imaginary murder?
442
00:24:17,982 --> 00:24:21,964
Your friend from the FBI came
by a couple of days ago.
443
00:24:21,965 --> 00:24:27,865
It turns out that the crime you
witnessed actually did happen.
444
00:24:28,548 --> 00:24:31,797
You knew this, and you didn't tell me?
445
00:24:31,798 --> 00:24:33,274
I didn't want to set you back.
446
00:24:33,275 --> 00:24:35,507
Well, you blew that goal.
447
00:24:35,508 --> 00:24:36,934
What are you doing, Dr. Pierce?
448
00:24:36,935 --> 00:24:38,378
I'm getting the hell out of here.
449
00:24:38,379 --> 00:24:40,179
If you leave, the cycle will start again.
450
00:24:40,180 --> 00:24:43,348
You'll be back, maybe in a couple
of days, maybe in six months.
451
00:24:43,349 --> 00:24:46,731
Are you threatening to
have me legally committed?
452
00:24:46,732 --> 00:24:50,932
Because otherwise, I'm calling a cab.
453
00:24:53,038 --> 00:24:56,251
- Daniel, what are you doing here?
- I want back in on this case.
454
00:24:56,252 --> 00:24:58,142
Shouldn't you be in the hospital?
455
00:24:58,143 --> 00:24:59,479
No, I'm doing better.
456
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,353
The meds are working, but I know myself.
457
00:25:01,354 --> 00:25:04,495
The best treatment for me right now
is to help you solve this thing.
458
00:25:04,496 --> 00:25:07,718
- I don't know if that's such a...
- Please, Kate.
459
00:25:07,719 --> 00:25:11,499
I need you to let me do this.
460
00:25:12,917 --> 00:25:14,837
Okay.
461
00:25:15,666 --> 00:25:20,226
Come on in. I'll make you a cup of tea.
462
00:25:25,988 --> 00:25:31,403
Mrs. Paulson, Leo Attinger says that
you left him an angry voice mail
463
00:25:31,404 --> 00:25:34,667
implying that he'd sent you
some sort of a package
464
00:25:34,668 --> 00:25:38,214
that caused you to turn down
your husband's Senate seat?
465
00:25:38,215 --> 00:25:42,095
Leo Attinger is a reprehensible human being
466
00:25:42,096 --> 00:25:45,739
who would step on his own
Mother to advance his career.
467
00:25:45,740 --> 00:25:51,292
I assume that whatever was in this package
was incriminating or embarrassing.
468
00:25:51,293 --> 00:25:53,520
Otherwise, you would've
alerted the authorities?
469
00:25:53,521 --> 00:25:56,383
I'm sorry, Agent Moretti.
I can't continue this conversation.
470
00:25:56,384 --> 00:25:59,747
Ma'am, it's possible that David Alcott,
a reporter for The Star-Herald,
471
00:25:59,748 --> 00:26:03,381
was murdered for pursuing
a story about this.
472
00:26:03,382 --> 00:26:07,402
Now, please tell me what you know.
473
00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:12,000
I got an envelope in the mail.
474
00:26:12,001 --> 00:26:16,381
It had a flash-drive thing and a note.
475
00:26:16,404 --> 00:26:20,109
"It would be better for the people
of Illinois and your late husband
476
00:26:20,110 --> 00:26:23,919
"if you turned down the appointment...
477
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,640
And you endorsed Scott Ryland."
478
00:26:27,824 --> 00:26:31,366
What was on the flash drive?
479
00:26:31,367 --> 00:26:33,527
A video.
480
00:26:34,184 --> 00:26:37,126
Of Ted in his office...
481
00:26:37,127 --> 00:26:39,647
With a woman.
482
00:26:42,028 --> 00:26:44,887
Do you know who the woman was?
483
00:26:44,888 --> 00:26:47,402
Victoria Ryland.
484
00:26:47,403 --> 00:26:51,003
The wife of the new Senator?
485
00:26:51,859 --> 00:26:53,440
- Let go of me!
- Wait a minute.
486
00:26:53,441 --> 00:26:56,786
- Let go of me!
- All right. I thought you wanted to.
487
00:26:56,787 --> 00:26:59,322
You thought wrong.
488
00:26:59,323 --> 00:27:01,157
Okay. Okay.
489
00:27:01,158 --> 00:27:03,513
All right, but nobody else has
to know about this, right?
490
00:27:03,514 --> 00:27:04,805
Where did you get this?
491
00:27:04,806 --> 00:27:06,458
Helen Paulson.
492
00:27:06,459 --> 00:27:08,603
Somebody sent it to her to blackmail her
493
00:27:08,604 --> 00:27:10,833
into turning down her husband's Senate seat
494
00:27:10,834 --> 00:27:14,353
so that your husband could run in his place.
495
00:27:14,354 --> 00:27:17,542
Are you implying that I had
something to do with that?
496
00:27:17,543 --> 00:27:20,048
The man tried to rape me.
497
00:27:20,049 --> 00:27:23,430
But you never reported it.
498
00:27:23,431 --> 00:27:25,219
He was Senator...
499
00:27:25,220 --> 00:27:27,476
And my husband's hero.
500
00:27:27,477 --> 00:27:29,009
And then he died in a plane crash.
501
00:27:29,010 --> 00:27:31,032
What would've been the point
of ruining his reputation?
502
00:27:31,033 --> 00:27:34,071
What were you doing in his
office that late at night?
503
00:27:34,072 --> 00:27:37,065
I had been trying to get a
meeting with him for weeks
504
00:27:37,066 --> 00:27:40,348
to discuss funding for a literacy program.
505
00:27:40,349 --> 00:27:45,906
When I finally got in to see him, I
started to talk to him about the program.
506
00:27:45,907 --> 00:27:51,212
He came over, sat next to me
on the couch, and just...
507
00:27:51,213 --> 00:27:53,385
Pounced on me.
508
00:27:53,386 --> 00:27:55,863
I got out as fast as I could.
509
00:27:55,864 --> 00:27:57,714
Did anybody see you leave?
510
00:27:57,715 --> 00:27:59,635
Uh...
511
00:28:00,089 --> 00:28:02,549
Leo Attinger.
512
00:28:04,893 --> 00:28:07,333
Your husband's Chief of Staff?
513
00:28:07,334 --> 00:28:09,650
What was he doing there?
514
00:28:09,651 --> 00:28:14,904
Um, before Leo worked for Scott,
he was an aide to Senator Paulson.
515
00:28:14,905 --> 00:28:16,875
When did your husband hire him?
516
00:28:16,876 --> 00:28:19,275
Right after Senator Paulson died.
517
00:28:19,276 --> 00:28:23,401
Everyone thought that the Governor was
going to appoint Mrs. Paulson, but...
518
00:28:23,402 --> 00:28:28,562
Leo came to Scott, said
he could get him elected.
519
00:28:28,626 --> 00:28:30,726
Uh-huh.
520
00:28:34,702 --> 00:28:37,162
Mr. Attinger!
521
00:28:37,413 --> 00:28:40,351
We were just hoping to ask you a few
more questions, if you don't mind.
522
00:28:40,352 --> 00:28:42,029
I'm a little busy.
523
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:45,192
We want to know whether or not you had
access to any of the security tapes
524
00:28:45,193 --> 00:28:48,379
recorded at Senator Paulson's
office from when you worked there.
525
00:28:48,380 --> 00:28:50,160
I don't know what you're talking about.
526
00:28:50,161 --> 00:28:52,021
Leo?
527
00:28:52,257 --> 00:28:54,946
Hi, thanks so much for coming.
I need my speech.
528
00:28:54,947 --> 00:28:57,886
Senator, tell me. Were you complicit
in stealing your congressional seat,
529
00:28:57,887 --> 00:29:00,051
or are you just a puppet for
the real power brokers?
530
00:29:00,052 --> 00:29:03,412
- I beg your pardon?
- We're gonna take a walk.
531
00:29:03,413 --> 00:29:05,726
I'm sorry about that, Senator.
532
00:29:05,727 --> 00:29:08,462
Listen, um...
Send somebody out to get me a burger.
533
00:29:08,463 --> 00:29:11,632
You know, they're serving salmon.
You know I can't eat salmon.
534
00:29:11,633 --> 00:29:13,353
Stay on supposed to have
topped these things.
535
00:29:13,354 --> 00:29:15,338
Daniel?
536
00:29:15,339 --> 00:29:18,819
Senator, are you all right?
537
00:29:19,026 --> 00:29:20,574
No, he's not all right.
He's having a stroke.
538
00:29:20,575 --> 00:29:23,395
What? No. Senator!
539
00:29:24,679 --> 00:29:27,499
Call an ambulance.
540
00:29:33,535 --> 00:29:36,157
Ryland didn't make it.
541
00:29:36,158 --> 00:29:37,856
Let's give the family some privacy.
542
00:29:37,857 --> 00:29:39,422
Wait, wait, wait.
543
00:29:39,423 --> 00:29:41,251
- Excuse me.
- Can I help you?
544
00:29:41,252 --> 00:29:44,403
I'm Dr. Daniel Pierce. I was the one who
first noticed the Senator stroking out.
545
00:29:44,404 --> 00:29:46,141
- You were his personal physician?
- Mm-hmm.
546
00:29:46,142 --> 00:29:48,515
Did he have any history
of stroke or clotting?
547
00:29:48,516 --> 00:29:51,771
No. Now, if you'll excuse me.
548
00:29:51,772 --> 00:29:52,773
Order an autopsy.
549
00:29:52,774 --> 00:29:55,823
Tell them to test for clotting agents
that could've caused a stroke.
550
00:29:55,824 --> 00:29:57,898
- Why? You don't think somebody...
- That's exactly what I'm thinking.
551
00:29:57,899 --> 00:29:59,993
There are too many bodies dropping
for this to be a coincidence.
552
00:29:59,994 --> 00:30:02,858
- Daniel, there's no evidence.
- That's why we need a Tox screen, Kate.
553
00:30:02,859 --> 00:30:04,698
I'm telling you, somebody killed him!
554
00:30:04,699 --> 00:30:07,181
What!? What are you talking about?!
555
00:30:07,182 --> 00:30:08,488
Just please stay calm.
556
00:30:08,489 --> 00:30:11,387
Get your crackpot friend out
of here, Agent Moretti.
557
00:30:11,388 --> 00:30:12,893
Of course you want me
out of here, Attinger.
558
00:30:12,894 --> 00:30:14,728
- Daniel, let's go.
- Of course you do!
559
00:30:14,729 --> 00:30:18,241
You can't hide the truth forever!
560
00:30:18,242 --> 00:30:21,482
I'm onto you, Attinger!
561
00:30:23,142 --> 00:30:24,862
Doc, let me make you a cup of tea.
562
00:30:24,863 --> 00:30:28,334
I don't want tea, Lewicki. I want answers!
563
00:30:28,335 --> 00:30:30,537
Well, I got some for you.
564
00:30:30,538 --> 00:30:32,986
Tox screen came back negative
for clotting agents.
565
00:30:32,987 --> 00:30:35,541
- The Senator died of natural causes.
- They need to check again.
566
00:30:35,542 --> 00:30:37,848
This morning, you were
accusing Ryland and his aides
567
00:30:37,849 --> 00:30:40,945
of some homicidal conspiracy
to put him in office.
568
00:30:40,946 --> 00:30:44,026
Now, if that was true, why would someone
turn around and try to kill him?
569
00:30:44,027 --> 00:30:48,827
I don't know. Just...
Something's not right.
570
00:30:50,350 --> 00:30:52,330
Doc...
571
00:30:52,546 --> 00:30:57,166
Maybe you need to go back to the hospital.
572
00:30:59,627 --> 00:31:01,646
You're right, Max.
573
00:31:01,647 --> 00:31:05,667
That's exactly what I need to do.
574
00:31:06,077 --> 00:31:08,477
Dr. Newsome.
575
00:31:08,484 --> 00:31:09,890
I'm glad you decided to come back.
576
00:31:09,891 --> 00:31:13,728
Yeah. I'm not checking in.
I need you to be Natalie for a while.
577
00:31:13,729 --> 00:31:16,658
- Have you taken your meds today?
- Yes, I'm taking your damn meds,
578
00:31:16,659 --> 00:31:19,646
which is ironic, because if I wasn't taking
them, I wouldn't be back in the looney bin.
579
00:31:19,647 --> 00:31:21,816
- You're not making any sense.
- I'm making perfect sense.
580
00:31:21,817 --> 00:31:23,660
I have a puzzle that I can't solve.
581
00:31:23,661 --> 00:31:25,913
Now, normally, I would work it out
with Natalie, but she's gone,
582
00:31:25,914 --> 00:31:27,791
so I need you to be her.
583
00:31:27,792 --> 00:31:29,661
I'm your Doctor.
I don't think that's advisable.
584
00:31:29,662 --> 00:31:31,702
Please!
585
00:31:33,013 --> 00:31:35,657
I need to know that my
damn brain still works.
586
00:31:35,658 --> 00:31:39,417
Even when I'm on the meds, otherwise...
587
00:31:39,418 --> 00:31:44,158
I don't... I don't know if I can do this.
588
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:47,113
The C.E.O. Of Verteron wanted Ryland in,
589
00:31:47,114 --> 00:31:50,207
so they manipulated the avionics
to crash Paulson's plane,
590
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,603
then, to tie up loose ends,
they got rid of a reporter
591
00:31:52,604 --> 00:31:54,153
and an engineer who were onto the plot.
592
00:31:54,154 --> 00:31:56,844
Then the Governor decides he's going
to appoint the Senator's widow,
593
00:31:56,845 --> 00:32:00,062
so they blackmail her into dropping
out, they get Ryland elected.
594
00:32:00,063 --> 00:32:02,728
The one thing I can't figure
out is why they killed Ryland
595
00:32:02,729 --> 00:32:04,430
when they've gone to all this
trouble to put him in office.
596
00:32:04,431 --> 00:32:07,198
This sounds like the kind of
paranoid conspiracy theory
597
00:32:07,199 --> 00:32:08,767
that landed you in the
hospital in the first place.
598
00:32:08,768 --> 00:32:10,322
But I'm not delusional now.
599
00:32:10,323 --> 00:32:11,881
Then simplify your thinking.
600
00:32:11,882 --> 00:32:14,268
You went to med school.
You know Occam's Razor.
601
00:32:14,269 --> 00:32:15,811
When faced with competing hypotheses,
602
00:32:15,812 --> 00:32:18,172
choose the one that makes the
fewest new assumptions. So what?
603
00:32:18,173 --> 00:32:22,074
So you're making a lot of assumptions
for which you have no evidence.
604
00:32:22,075 --> 00:32:24,160
What did you actually
see with your own eyes?
605
00:32:24,161 --> 00:32:27,123
Senator Ryland, a man with no
history of clotting, stroking out.
606
00:32:27,124 --> 00:32:29,049
- It happens.
- Yeah, but something is telling me
607
00:32:29,050 --> 00:32:30,126
it wasn't accidental.
608
00:32:30,127 --> 00:32:34,927
- A voice in your head?
- No, not a voice...
609
00:32:35,211 --> 00:32:37,757
Not in my head... His voice.
610
00:32:37,758 --> 00:32:38,761
What do you mean?
611
00:32:38,762 --> 00:32:40,898
Ryland... He said he couldn't eat salmon.
612
00:32:40,899 --> 00:32:43,913
Well, some people can't eat salmon
because of adverse drug reactions.
613
00:32:43,914 --> 00:32:45,277
Yes!
614
00:32:45,278 --> 00:32:47,634
Yes! That's good. People on Coumadin.
615
00:32:47,635 --> 00:32:51,204
And Coumadin's a blood thinner
used prevent strokes.
616
00:32:51,205 --> 00:32:53,573
You said he didn't have
a history of clotting.
617
00:32:53,574 --> 00:32:55,745
John Kennedy covered up
his Addison's disease.
618
00:32:55,746 --> 00:32:57,274
Ryland certainly wouldn't want the voters
619
00:32:57,275 --> 00:32:58,833
knowing that he had a
life-threatening condition.
620
00:32:58,834 --> 00:32:59,888
Another assumption.
621
00:32:59,889 --> 00:33:01,812
Would you go with me on this?
622
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:05,081
Okay, fine.
Ryland was secretly using Coumadin.
623
00:33:05,082 --> 00:33:06,283
Then he shouldn't have stroked.
624
00:33:06,284 --> 00:33:08,997
He wouldn't be the first patient
to go off his meds, would he?
625
00:33:08,998 --> 00:33:13,576
If he went off his meds, why
was he avoiding salmon?
626
00:33:13,577 --> 00:33:16,412
Maybe he didn't know he was off his meds.
627
00:33:16,413 --> 00:33:19,094
Maybe somebody switched them out.
He'd be a ticking time bomb.
628
00:33:19,095 --> 00:33:21,975
Who would do that?
629
00:33:22,333 --> 00:33:25,283
You know, you're not as
good at this as Natalie...
630
00:33:25,284 --> 00:33:28,704
But you are not half bad.
631
00:33:30,904 --> 00:33:33,637
Sources close to the Governor
say he intends to appointment
632
00:33:33,638 --> 00:33:35,377
Victoria Ryland to serve out
her late husband's term.
633
00:33:35,378 --> 00:33:37,513
You see? I'm right. I'm right!
634
00:33:37,514 --> 00:33:40,176
She killed her husband
to get his Senate seat!
635
00:33:40,177 --> 00:33:42,489
How could she even be sure that
they governor would appoint her?
636
00:33:42,490 --> 00:33:45,092
He was gonna appoint Paulson's
widow when he died.
637
00:33:45,093 --> 00:33:46,462
It's a long-standing tradition.
638
00:33:46,463 --> 00:33:49,329
Of the 200 women that have
ever served in congress,
639
00:33:49,330 --> 00:33:51,384
over 40 were Congress-men's widows.
640
00:33:51,385 --> 00:33:53,214
- Daniel, calm...
- Don't tell me to calm down.
641
00:33:53,215 --> 00:33:55,160
I see it now. This wasn't some, some grand
642
00:33:55,161 --> 00:33:57,624
conspiracy to murder Paulson
and rig the election.
643
00:33:57,625 --> 00:34:03,445
This was the work of one very
clever, very ambitious woman.
644
00:34:04,897 --> 00:34:06,817
What?
645
00:34:07,347 --> 00:34:09,016
I just talked to my friend in I.T.B.
646
00:34:09,017 --> 00:34:11,574
She ran a discreet credit
check on Victoria Ryland.
647
00:34:11,575 --> 00:34:13,215
Turns out she had the
front of her car repaired
648
00:34:13,216 --> 00:34:15,637
the day after the reporter
was run off the road.
649
00:34:15,638 --> 00:34:17,290
That's... That's proof.
Why do you look so depressed?
650
00:34:17,291 --> 00:34:18,930
Because it's circumstantial.
651
00:34:18,931 --> 00:34:20,331
Get a warrant. Get a warrant.
652
00:34:20,332 --> 00:34:23,762
You will find that the Rylands
were buying Coumadin from Mexico,
653
00:34:23,763 --> 00:34:27,465
and that little prescription bottle you
find will be filled with fake pills.
654
00:34:27,466 --> 00:34:29,380
No Judge is gonna give me a fishing license
655
00:34:29,381 --> 00:34:31,498
to go after a woman who's
about to be a Senator.
656
00:34:31,499 --> 00:34:34,103
You're telling me there's a woman who
murdered her husband to get a seat
657
00:34:34,104 --> 00:34:36,193
in The United States Senate, and
there's nothing we can do about it?
658
00:34:36,194 --> 00:34:37,710
I refuse to accept that.
659
00:34:37,711 --> 00:34:43,531
Daniel, just promise me you're
not gonna do anything crazy.
660
00:34:52,031 --> 00:34:54,227
I'd like speak to Mrs. Ryland, please.
661
00:34:54,228 --> 00:34:56,076
You'll have to make an appointment.
662
00:34:56,077 --> 00:34:57,897
Will you please tell the
Senator in waiting that if she
663
00:34:57,898 --> 00:35:01,122
cares at all about her political
future, she'll see me now?
664
00:35:01,123 --> 00:35:03,300
It's all right, John.
665
00:35:03,301 --> 00:35:06,901
Show Dr. Pierce to my study.
666
00:35:11,031 --> 00:35:13,410
I'm sorry about your husband's death.
667
00:35:13,411 --> 00:35:17,864
- Thank you.
- But I know you killed him.
668
00:35:17,865 --> 00:35:20,951
You went to Senator Paulson's
office to seduce him.
669
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:23,688
When he responded, you acted
like you were being raped.
670
00:35:23,689 --> 00:35:26,489
We assumed it was security footage, but...
671
00:35:26,490 --> 00:35:29,207
I'm betting you taped the whole
thing on your cellphone.
672
00:35:29,208 --> 00:35:31,077
You were probably intending
to blackmail the Senator
673
00:35:31,078 --> 00:35:32,620
into not running for re-election,
674
00:35:32,621 --> 00:35:35,799
but when his plane crashed,
you saw an opportunity.
675
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,028
You blackmailed his wife instead
so your husband could run.
676
00:35:39,029 --> 00:35:42,719
When some reporter started asking
questions, you ran him off the road.
677
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:44,336
Then, once your husband got elected,
678
00:35:44,337 --> 00:35:47,551
you switched his Coumadin with sugar
pills and waited for him to stroke out.
679
00:35:47,552 --> 00:35:50,285
If I wasn't in mourning, I
might even find that funny.
680
00:35:50,286 --> 00:35:52,548
The FBI found your car-repair bill.
681
00:35:52,549 --> 00:35:55,893
And if that were evidence of a
crime, the FBI would be here...
682
00:35:55,894 --> 00:35:57,727
Not you.
683
00:35:57,728 --> 00:36:00,050
Yeah, well, that's true. That's true.
684
00:36:00,051 --> 00:36:03,010
Everybody at the FBI thinks
I'm crazy, which I am.
685
00:36:03,011 --> 00:36:05,947
And they wouldn't touch this anyway.
It's a political mine field.
686
00:36:05,948 --> 00:36:07,804
Then why are you here?
687
00:36:07,805 --> 00:36:10,013
Because I may not be able
to send you to prison,
688
00:36:10,014 --> 00:36:12,921
but I can damn well stop a
murderer from becoming a Senator.
689
00:36:12,922 --> 00:36:15,129
What are you talking about?
690
00:36:15,130 --> 00:36:17,434
Unless you call a press
conference announcing your
691
00:36:17,435 --> 00:36:20,399
intention to turn down the
Governor's appointment,
692
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,172
I'm gonna go to the Star-Herald
with my own story.
693
00:36:23,173 --> 00:36:25,182
"Dr. Daniel Pierce is
resigning his consulting"
694
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:27,493
"position with the FBI
because the Bureau refuses"
695
00:36:27,494 --> 00:36:29,692
"to investigate allegations
that Victoria Ryland,"
696
00:36:29,693 --> 00:36:32,091
"murdered her husband to
secure a Senate seat."
697
00:36:32,092 --> 00:36:34,543
No paper will run that story.
698
00:36:34,544 --> 00:36:36,406
Really?
699
00:36:36,407 --> 00:36:40,281
You care to bet your reputation
and your career on that?
700
00:36:40,282 --> 00:36:42,384
You killed one of their own reporters.
701
00:36:42,385 --> 00:36:44,618
They might not be able
to pin a crime on you,
702
00:36:44,619 --> 00:36:47,000
but they'll start asking
questions about the rape video
703
00:36:47,001 --> 00:36:50,601
and why you and your husband were
buying Coumadin from Mexico.
704
00:36:50,602 --> 00:36:54,502
So, you can bow out gracefully...
705
00:36:55,230 --> 00:36:59,299
Or you can get dragged through the mud.
706
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:02,060
I'm gonna be at The
Star-Herald at 9:00 A.M.
707
00:37:02,061 --> 00:37:05,238
If you haven't spoken to
the press by then, I will.
708
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,469
And I'll give them the story of the decade.
709
00:37:08,470 --> 00:37:11,590
I can see myself out.
710
00:37:50,485 --> 00:37:55,225
Out of the car! Hands where I can see them!
711
00:37:59,466 --> 00:38:01,478
You okay?
712
00:38:01,479 --> 00:38:04,479
Ah. Yeah, I'm good.
713
00:38:07,730 --> 00:38:11,390
What did you do to my bike?!
714
00:38:19,905 --> 00:38:21,031
How's it going?
715
00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:26,932
If you're asking me if I'm off my rocker,
the answer is... Not at the moment.
716
00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:30,070
We served a search warrant on Victoria.
717
00:38:30,071 --> 00:38:31,309
You were right.
718
00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:34,794
We found Coumadin bottles
filled with sugar pills.
719
00:38:34,795 --> 00:38:38,057
U.S. Attorney's charging
her with both murders.
720
00:38:38,058 --> 00:38:39,482
Great.
721
00:38:39,483 --> 00:38:42,085
So we'll have another special election,
and we'll get some other criminal
722
00:38:42,086 --> 00:38:44,577
representing us in Washington.
723
00:38:44,578 --> 00:38:48,811
Well, if it wasn't for you, she
would've gotten away with it.
724
00:38:48,812 --> 00:38:51,841
It's Wesley that deserves the credit.
725
00:38:51,842 --> 00:38:55,818
If he didn't come to me with
his wild conspiracy theory,
726
00:38:55,819 --> 00:38:59,803
nobody would've ever
looked behind the curtain.
727
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:03,944
So maybe he didn't die for nothing.
728
00:39:04,972 --> 00:39:07,208
Thank you...
729
00:39:07,209 --> 00:39:12,789
For not giving up on me,
even when I was at my worst.
730
00:39:13,364 --> 00:39:15,018
You gave me a scare, you know.
731
00:39:15,019 --> 00:39:16,837
I know.
732
00:39:16,838 --> 00:39:21,970
I know, and even though I'm doing better,
there's no guarantee that my symptoms...
733
00:39:21,971 --> 00:39:24,854
Won't come back, so I...
734
00:39:24,855 --> 00:39:29,955
I understand if you don't
want me working cases.
735
00:39:30,548 --> 00:39:33,488
Let's make a deal.
736
00:39:34,017 --> 00:39:36,630
No more secrets.
737
00:39:36,631 --> 00:39:40,831
Your symptoms come back, you tell me.
738
00:39:51,463 --> 00:39:53,191
Dr. Newsome.
739
00:39:53,192 --> 00:39:57,004
I'm assuming your firm grasp on reality
means that you're taking your meds.
740
00:39:57,005 --> 00:40:00,333
Yeah, I thought a pill a day was
supposed to keep the Doctor away.
741
00:40:00,334 --> 00:40:02,771
Max told me where to find you.
742
00:40:02,772 --> 00:40:05,898
I came by to say that
the meds aren't enough.
743
00:40:05,899 --> 00:40:08,582
If you want to stay healthy, you're
gonna need regular talk therapy.
744
00:40:08,583 --> 00:40:10,840
And apparently, you make house calls.
745
00:40:10,841 --> 00:40:13,905
Actually, I've been thinking.
746
00:40:13,906 --> 00:40:16,911
Given your long-standing...
747
00:40:16,912 --> 00:40:20,615
Relationship with Natalie, I
don't think it's appropriate
748
00:40:20,616 --> 00:40:23,005
for me to continue to be your psychiatrist.
749
00:40:23,006 --> 00:40:28,279
Well, maybe you can recommend somebody
who's not an insufferable bore.
750
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,503
Just because I can't be your Doctor...
751
00:40:31,504 --> 00:40:35,341
Doesn't mean I can't be your friend.
752
00:40:35,342 --> 00:40:38,102
If you need one.
753
00:40:41,045 --> 00:40:43,731
I can't help wondering...
754
00:40:43,732 --> 00:40:48,353
If I had actually had the nerve to
approach you all those years ago,
755
00:40:48,354 --> 00:40:52,583
would you have given me the time of day?
756
00:40:52,584 --> 00:40:55,164
I don't know.
757
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:01,900
But one thing you'll find out pretty
quick is that I'm nobody's fantasy girl.
758
00:41:05,776 --> 00:41:08,776
47 across... Parasol.
759
00:41:13,292 --> 00:41:16,407
Um, if we're gonna be friends, one
thing you'll figure out pretty quick
760
00:41:16,408 --> 00:41:18,809
is that I may need help once in a while,
761
00:41:18,810 --> 00:41:22,774
but I really hate it when
people give me the answers.
762
00:41:22,775 --> 00:41:27,284
Sometimes the billions of
neurons firing in our brains...
763
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:31,015
Help us concoct elaborate scenarios.
764
00:41:31,016 --> 00:41:36,259
We imagine ourselves with a dream
girl or landing a dream job...
765
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:39,562
An astronaut, rock star...
766
00:41:39,563 --> 00:41:42,378
Even a United States Senator.
767
00:41:42,379 --> 00:41:45,919
But fantasies can turn dark.
768
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:50,225
We start to believe there's
a monster under the bed...
769
00:41:50,226 --> 00:41:55,686
Or that evil forces are
aligning themselves against us.
770
00:41:55,854 --> 00:41:58,792
All these fantasies... Good and bad...
771
00:41:58,793 --> 00:42:02,124
Stem from an evolutionary imperative.
772
00:42:02,125 --> 00:42:05,358
Our brains are exploring potential outcomes
773
00:42:05,359 --> 00:42:08,960
that might help us achieve
our goals or avoid danger.
774
00:42:08,961 --> 00:42:14,181
But if we allow fantasy to
overtake our thinking...
775
00:42:16,094 --> 00:42:21,554
We can miss the reality
that's right in front of us.
776
00:42:21,772 --> 00:42:24,412
And sometimes...
777
00:42:25,049 --> 00:42:28,169
Reality's not so bad.
