Script VO 310

1
00:00:00,063 --> 00:00:02,211
* Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells *

2
00:00:02,212 --> 00:00:04,313
* all seem to say, "throw cares away"! *

3
00:00:04,314 --> 00:00:06,552
* Christmas is here, bringing good cheer *
* ding-dong *

4
00:00:06,553 --> 00:00:08,706
* to young and old, meek and the bold *
* ding-dong *

5
00:00:08,707 --> 00:00:10,896
* one seems to hear words of good cheer *

6
00:00:10,897 --> 00:00:13,027
* from everywhere, filling the air *

7
00:00:13,028 --> 00:00:15,193
* oh, how they pound raising the sound *

8
00:00:15,194 --> 00:00:17,326
* o'er hill and Dale, telling the tale *

9
00:00:17,327 --> 00:00:19,531
* gaily they ring while people sing *

10
00:00:19,532 --> 00:00:21,617
* songs of good cheer, Christmas is here *

11
00:00:21,618 --> 00:00:23,813
* merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas *

12
00:00:23,814 --> 00:00:25,917
* merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas *

13
00:00:25,918 --> 00:00:28,059
* hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells *

14
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:30,133
* all seem to say, "throw cares away"! *

15
00:00:30,134 --> 00:00:32,585
* ring, ring-a-ling *
* ring, ding, dong *

16
00:00:32,586 --> 00:00:34,582
* ding, dong, ding *

17
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:52,706
We don't know if he jumped
or somebody pushed him,

18
00:00:52,707 --> 00:00:55,163
but he had to fall from one
of the apartments above us.

19
00:00:55,164 --> 00:00:56,469
Any witnesses?

20
00:00:56,634 --> 00:00:57,921
No. They saw him hit,

21
00:00:57,922 --> 00:01:00,379
but the crowd sure gathered fast
once he did.

22
00:01:00,546 --> 00:01:02,640
Including the Attorney General's niece.

23
00:01:02,641 --> 00:01:04,818
She hasn't stopped sobbing since.

24
00:01:05,172 --> 00:01:06,483
Let's process this scene quickly,

25
00:01:06,484 --> 00:01:09,222
get the body out of here.
You, uh, get an I.D. on it yet?

26
00:01:09,257 --> 00:01:12,849
No. But I tell you what,
that is one fine Santa suit.

27
00:01:12,883 --> 00:01:17,328
Plush pile. Real leather uppers.
I wish mine was that nice.

28
00:01:17,724 --> 00:01:19,202
The beard appears to be real.

29
00:01:20,253 --> 00:01:24,054
Hey, Jane? Could I trouble you
for a professional opinion?

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,044
No.

31
00:01:32,127 --> 00:01:33,130
No what?

32
00:01:33,182 --> 00:01:35,055
This isn't the actual Santa Claus.

33
00:01:35,112 --> 00:01:36,304
Oh, really?

34
00:01:36,305 --> 00:01:39,912
Some say he doesn't exist, period...

35
00:01:39,913 --> 00:01:41,895
That he's a 19th-century marketing gimmick.

36
00:01:41,896 --> 00:01:45,784
I venture no opinion on that,
but this definitely isn't him.

37
00:01:45,785 --> 00:01:47,482
This is an impostor.

38
00:01:47,616 --> 00:01:48,902
And how can you tell?

39
00:01:48,903 --> 00:01:51,520
Santa would smell like reindeer
and chimneys.

40
00:01:51,521 --> 00:01:53,632
This man smells like cheap whiskey.

41
00:01:53,633 --> 00:01:55,829
Uh, excuse me. Could you, uh,

42
00:01:55,866 --> 00:01:58,740
reach inside that outside pocket there?

43
00:01:58,741 --> 00:02:00,323
Yeah, just there near the candy canes.

44
00:02:00,324 --> 00:02:01,465
What is that?

45
00:02:02,517 --> 00:02:03,791
Christmas card.

46
00:02:05,767 --> 00:02:07,520
"My life is a lie. Forgive me."

47
00:02:07,521 --> 00:02:09,625
Well, it's not a traditional
Christmas greeting,

48
00:02:09,626 --> 00:02:11,505
but it has punch and concision.

49
00:02:11,956 --> 00:02:13,155
Very, uh, thoughtful of him

50
00:02:13,156 --> 00:02:15,057
to put it in a plastic baggie for us.

51
00:02:15,058 --> 00:02:17,849
Lets us out. It's a straight-up suicide.
Possibly.

52
00:02:18,371 --> 00:02:19,702
But you don't think so.

53
00:02:19,703 --> 00:02:22,548
Here is a man that spends
his time making kids happy...

54
00:02:22,549 --> 00:02:26,184
Putting a little magic in their life,
giving them hope. Yeah?

55
00:02:26,291 --> 00:02:28,204
Would a man like that end his life

56
00:02:28,205 --> 00:02:30,815
making such a bloody spectacle of himself?

57
00:02:30,816 --> 00:02:32,681
In character, in a public place

58
00:02:32,682 --> 00:02:34,659
where children are bound
to see him and spoil

59
00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:38,105
their Christmases forever?
I doubt it. This was murder.

60
00:02:38,106 --> 00:02:40,257
Okay, you may have a point, but, you know,

61
00:02:40,258 --> 00:02:42,331
let's keep an open mind on this... murder.

62
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:48,320
Happy holidays.

63
00:03:05,773 --> 00:03:07,983
Benjamin Ripple has been
a tenant here for years.

64
00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:09,406
He'd never kill himself.

65
00:03:09,407 --> 00:03:12,162
He enjoyed his life too much, and his art.

66
00:03:12,163 --> 00:03:13,212
His art?

67
00:03:13,213 --> 00:03:14,716
The art of being Santa.

68
00:03:15,254 --> 00:03:18,104
Benjamin lived by the traditions
of St. Nick year-round.

69
00:03:19,486 --> 00:03:21,668
Uh, we'll take it from here. Thanks.

70
00:03:22,504 --> 00:03:23,670
Thank you.

71
00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:25,124
Well...

72
00:03:29,646 --> 00:03:32,057
Now this was a man who knew
how to sustain a moment.

73
00:03:33,679 --> 00:03:35,726
I can't believe people buy this crap.

74
00:03:36,532 --> 00:03:39,529
I sense a Christmas speech coming on.

75
00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:42,562
No, I just think people can celebrate
a holy day

76
00:03:42,563 --> 00:03:45,230
without lying to children
about a magical fat guy

77
00:03:45,231 --> 00:03:46,872
with a sack full of toys.

78
00:03:46,921 --> 00:03:49,384
So you took the whole Santa revelation
badly, huh?

79
00:03:49,385 --> 00:03:51,257
Crushed my heart like a cigarette.

80
00:03:51,311 --> 00:03:53,917
Explains why you're still looking
for magic in your life.

81
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:56,606
Benjamin Ripple, on the other hand,

82
00:03:56,639 --> 00:04:00,288
chose to keep his childhood
beliefs very much alive.

83
00:04:01,169 --> 00:04:03,324
He was happiest when he was at home.

84
00:04:03,671 --> 00:04:07,851
He felt protected,
and not so popular at school.

85
00:04:08,025 --> 00:04:09,569
I'm guessing his parents died young.

86
00:04:09,570 --> 00:04:14,208
So to cope, he transformed
his most cherished memories

87
00:04:14,209 --> 00:04:16,501
into an identity.

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,604
A successful career,

89
00:04:18,605 --> 00:04:21,510
based on this father Christmas
fantasy chalet here.

90
00:04:21,557 --> 00:04:24,115
A career like this? "St. Nick's picks...

91
00:04:24,116 --> 00:04:26,773
your holiday decoration superstore."

92
00:04:26,894 --> 00:04:28,354
It's a mail order business.

93
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:30,414
Benjamin Ripple was a survivor.

94
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,864
Highly unlikely he took his own life.

95
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:34,583
So you think the suicide was staged?

96
00:04:34,630 --> 00:04:37,150
Well, it's not to say he was
without his secrets.

97
00:04:37,151 --> 00:04:39,063
We all have secrets, don't we?

98
00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:41,541
And Christmas, well, it's...

99
00:04:42,011 --> 00:04:43,505
Full of contradictions.

100
00:04:43,635 --> 00:04:46,034
The man that devoted his life
to spreading joy

101
00:04:46,035 --> 00:04:48,336
could very likely be hiding a, uh...

102
00:04:48,908 --> 00:04:51,090
What is that? What?

103
00:04:58,316 --> 00:04:59,578
A sobriety chip.

104
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,024
Still waiting on forensics,
but the coroner said

105
00:05:02,025 --> 00:05:05,610
that Santa's blood alcohol
concentration was .45.

106
00:05:05,743 --> 00:05:06,967
That's a lethal level.

107
00:05:06,999 --> 00:05:08,410
So much for sobriety.

108
00:05:08,459 --> 00:05:09,939
Why would somebody kill the victim

109
00:05:09,940 --> 00:05:11,470
if he was dying of booze anyway?

110
00:05:11,471 --> 00:05:13,605
That suggests suicide, not murder.

111
00:05:13,606 --> 00:05:16,206
So does his bank account.
I ran Ripple's financials.

112
00:05:16,207 --> 00:05:18,225
His mail order business was hit hard
by the recession.

113
00:05:18,226 --> 00:05:19,116
It's almost bankrupt.

114
00:05:19,117 --> 00:05:21,127
So his business takes a dive,
Ripple starts drinking,

115
00:05:21,128 --> 00:05:24,097
then he takes a dive straight off
his building. Guess again.

116
00:05:24,138 --> 00:05:26,053
I showed the suicide note
to our handwriting analyst,

117
00:05:26,054 --> 00:05:28,131
compared it to attested samples
of Ripple's signature.

118
00:05:28,178 --> 00:05:30,758
He didn't write the note.
And we're back to murder.

119
00:05:30,791 --> 00:05:32,175
What else do we know about Ripple?

120
00:05:32,227 --> 00:05:34,197
Uh, he's president of something called

121
00:05:34,198 --> 00:05:36,596
the national society of authentic Santas.

122
00:05:36,631 --> 00:05:38,909
What's that?
It's a fraternal group dedicated

123
00:05:38,910 --> 00:05:40,773
to the accurate portrayal of Santa Claus.

124
00:05:40,996 --> 00:05:42,645
One of Ripple's neighbors told me about it.

125
00:05:42,704 --> 00:05:44,144
They're having a convention downtown.

126
00:05:44,196 --> 00:05:45,952
Rigsby, you and van pelt head over there,

127
00:05:45,953 --> 00:05:47,393
see what you can find out...

128
00:05:47,804 --> 00:05:51,146
After Hightower's briefing
on the Johnson killing.

129
00:05:51,283 --> 00:05:52,327
What does she have to brief us for?

130
00:05:52,328 --> 00:05:53,669
Someone torched a cop killer.

131
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:55,324
It happened in our house. It's not right.

132
00:05:55,325 --> 00:05:56,941
He was a cop killer. Good riddance.

133
00:05:56,942 --> 00:05:59,854
Yeah, okay, zip it if you know
what's good for you.

134
00:06:01,652 --> 00:06:03,617
Walk over. I'm gonna go round up Jane.

135
00:06:06,556 --> 00:06:07,736
Two days ago,

136
00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:10,467
a suspect was doused in an accelerant

137
00:06:10,694 --> 00:06:13,798
and set alight in a CBI holding cell.

138
00:06:13,844 --> 00:06:18,623
This was not karma, rough justice, payback.

139
00:06:18,773 --> 00:06:20,810
This was a criminal act.

140
00:06:20,844 --> 00:06:24,792
The homicide investigation
will be led by J.J. LaRoche,

141
00:06:24,793 --> 00:06:27,126
the new head of our professional
standards unit.

142
00:06:28,301 --> 00:06:29,346
Thank you.

143
00:06:29,948 --> 00:06:31,805
Who the hell is J.J. LaRoche?

144
00:06:33,939 --> 00:06:35,754
Excuse me. Sorry.

145
00:06:41,278 --> 00:06:42,809
Thank you, Ms. Hightower.

146
00:06:46,696 --> 00:06:49,868
It's very likely that one of you
people here in this room

147
00:06:50,256 --> 00:06:51,534
is the murderer.

148
00:06:52,287 --> 00:06:53,677
You know who you are.

149
00:06:54,924 --> 00:06:56,682
Okay, lights, please.

150
00:06:59,053 --> 00:07:00,851
We're going to run through the facts now...

151
00:07:02,557 --> 00:07:04,902
So that we are all on the same page.

152
00:07:08,129 --> 00:07:11,509
The victim was Todd Johnson.

153
00:07:11,570 --> 00:07:12,914
E.M.T.

154
00:07:13,093 --> 00:07:15,660
Responsible for killing six policemen

155
00:07:15,709 --> 00:07:18,999
and a young woman, that we know of.

156
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:25,433
Our updated security system

157
00:07:25,434 --> 00:07:29,377
has provided me with a very accurate list

158
00:07:29,523 --> 00:07:31,833
of everybody who was in this building

159
00:07:31,867 --> 00:07:33,447
at the time of the murder.

160
00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:35,028
This guy should charge admission.

161
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:39,458
I will be talking selectively
with some of you on the list

162
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,073
over the next days,

163
00:07:41,074 --> 00:07:45,185
my people will be taking blood,
hair, and tissue samples

164
00:07:45,186 --> 00:07:47,063
from everybody on the list.

165
00:07:47,098 --> 00:07:50,783
Your cooperation is expected
and appreciated.

166
00:07:50,784 --> 00:07:52,812
Uh, excuse me. Yes.

167
00:07:52,977 --> 00:07:54,245
Why the samples?

168
00:07:58,247 --> 00:07:59,461
What's your name?

169
00:08:00,326 --> 00:08:01,620
Wayne Rigsby.

170
00:08:07,449 --> 00:08:08,559
Wayne...

171
00:08:09,042 --> 00:08:11,774
We need the samples...

172
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:14,398
To test for accelerants.

173
00:08:16,163 --> 00:08:17,810
Thank you for your interest.

174
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,592
Any other questions?

175
00:08:52,104 --> 00:08:53,958
Tyger, Tyger...

176
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:07,747
You remembered something.

177
00:09:09,836 --> 00:09:10,635
Did I?

178
00:09:10,636 --> 00:09:13,568
Yes, you did. What was it?

179
00:09:13,616 --> 00:09:16,890
The smell of a man burning.
Do you know that smell?

180
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:19,229
Yes. Very like barbecue.

181
00:09:20,032 --> 00:09:22,802
But we both know that's not
what I'm referring to.

182
00:09:23,548 --> 00:09:24,931
A lighter.

183
00:09:26,785 --> 00:09:28,890
I opened the door, Todd was on fire,

184
00:09:28,891 --> 00:09:31,313
and there was a green lighter on the bench.

185
00:09:32,662 --> 00:09:35,411
But it wasn't in the evidence report.

186
00:09:36,488 --> 00:09:39,237
You read the evidence report.
Oh, more like skimmed.

187
00:09:39,285 --> 00:09:41,267
You know, those things are not exactly
summer reading,

188
00:09:41,268 --> 00:09:43,871
but I get paid to consult, so skim I do.

189
00:09:49,847 --> 00:09:52,391
It's on its way to the FBI crime lab.

190
00:09:52,558 --> 00:09:53,382
May I?

191
00:09:53,414 --> 00:09:54,264
No.

192
00:09:57,549 --> 00:10:00,306
I won't be needing your consultation
on this case.

193
00:10:01,028 --> 00:10:03,491
But you and I will talk this afternoon.

194
00:10:03,546 --> 00:10:04,951
Look forward to it.

195
00:10:06,471 --> 00:10:09,679
**

196
00:10:18,252 --> 00:10:20,691
Wow. Santapalooza.

197
00:10:20,852 --> 00:10:24,495
...For Santa Henry's social media
workshop at 3:00.

198
00:10:24,553 --> 00:10:27,049
And, uh, don't forget to buy
your raffle tickets

199
00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:29,031
for the jingle ball tonight.

200
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,106
Oh, hi. I'm Bob. Can I help you?

201
00:10:31,107 --> 00:10:34,171
Agent Wayne Rigsby.
This is Agent van pelt. We're from CBI.

202
00:10:34,208 --> 00:10:36,175
Oh, you're here about Benjamin.

203
00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:39,807
He should be up here, not me.

204
00:10:39,808 --> 00:10:42,588
I mean, we're just all trying
to move ahead here.

205
00:10:42,589 --> 00:10:45,353
It's what he'd want.
Were you close with the victim?

206
00:10:45,392 --> 00:10:47,184
Yes, I was. Um, we all were...

207
00:10:47,185 --> 00:10:48,396
Liar!

208
00:10:50,257 --> 00:10:51,936
You hated Benjamin.

209
00:10:52,339 --> 00:10:54,168
You were trying to kick him out of office.

210
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,006
- Well, congratulations. You got what
you wanted. - And you are?

211
00:10:58,896 --> 00:10:59,972
Tony.

212
00:11:00,522 --> 00:11:02,760
And that man had a vendetta
against Benjamin

213
00:11:02,761 --> 00:11:04,257
because he wanted to open our doors

214
00:11:04,258 --> 00:11:06,630
to Santas of all races, creeds, and colors.

215
00:11:06,631 --> 00:11:08,753
Which will never happen.

216
00:11:10,534 --> 00:11:13,027
Look, if Santa isn't white, male,
and Christian,

217
00:11:13,028 --> 00:11:15,557
then what the heck is he? He's everyone.

218
00:11:15,659 --> 00:11:17,801
He's the spirit of generosity in all of us.

219
00:11:17,802 --> 00:11:20,710
He's the...
Oh, would you be quiet, you dumb hippie?

220
00:11:21,345 --> 00:11:22,627
Hey! Hey! Okay, let's just...

221
00:11:22,628 --> 00:11:24,984
Let's just go for a little drive, shall we?

222
00:11:26,216 --> 00:11:28,588
Everything's fine. Just... carry on.

223
00:11:32,036 --> 00:11:33,407
Happy Hanukkah.

224
00:11:34,003 --> 00:11:35,380
Feliz navidad.

225
00:11:47,737 --> 00:11:49,091
Where's Patrick Jane?

226
00:11:49,918 --> 00:11:51,154
In the field.

227
00:11:52,845 --> 00:11:54,516
That's inconvenient.

228
00:11:58,114 --> 00:12:00,079
I'm sorry. Is there a problem?

229
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:01,472
Yes.

230
00:12:01,951 --> 00:12:04,506
Jane is the lead suspect
in my investigation,

231
00:12:04,507 --> 00:12:05,987
and I can't find him.

232
00:12:07,122 --> 00:12:08,808
Jane's your lead suspect?

233
00:12:10,249 --> 00:12:11,770
You smile.

234
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:16,363
You think he's not capable of murder?

235
00:12:16,491 --> 00:12:19,368
He's capable. I'm smiling because

236
00:12:19,369 --> 00:12:21,813
it's an absurd idea, Jane killing Johnson.

237
00:12:21,814 --> 00:12:24,022
He caught him. He put him in that cell.

238
00:12:24,097 --> 00:12:27,099
He was the last person to see him
alive in that cell.

239
00:12:27,158 --> 00:12:28,903
And I was next to last.

240
00:12:29,314 --> 00:12:31,703
Look, Johnson asked to speak with Jane.

241
00:12:31,737 --> 00:12:34,332
He said he had a secret
he wouldn't tell anyone else.

242
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:36,979
Jane didn't want to see him. I made him go.

243
00:12:37,361 --> 00:12:39,934
The guy was on fire when
he opened the cell door.

244
00:12:40,425 --> 00:12:41,586
Why would Jane kill him?

245
00:12:41,623 --> 00:12:44,525
That's what I shall ask him...

246
00:12:45,838 --> 00:12:47,159
When I find him.

247
00:12:49,251 --> 00:12:51,820
Hey, Lisbon.
Uh, LaRoche is looking for you.

248
00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:55,374
Oh. Wish him luck. Jane,
you don't want to rile this one up.

249
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,600
You should probably come in.

250
00:12:56,651 --> 00:12:59,412
Uh, did you track down Ripple's alcohol
recovery group?

251
00:12:59,557 --> 00:13:01,356
Well, I think I found what I'm looking for.

252
00:13:01,390 --> 00:13:02,458
Gotta go!

253
00:13:10,631 --> 00:13:11,974
Hey, Virgil.

254
00:13:13,665 --> 00:13:15,143
Patrick.

255
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:16,907
What are you doing here?

256
00:13:17,018 --> 00:13:19,290
Your old assistant told me
where to find you.

257
00:13:19,874 --> 00:13:21,892
I need your help. Well, that's a twist.

258
00:13:21,893 --> 00:13:23,928
You never needed my help
when I was your boss.

259
00:13:24,048 --> 00:13:26,104
What help could I be now?

260
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:29,650
A cop-killer burned alive
in CBI custody. I heard.

261
00:13:30,834 --> 00:13:32,948
Listen, if it's anything to do with that,
I don't want to...

262
00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:35,525
Whoever set the fire works for Red John.

263
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:37,706
Jane...

264
00:13:38,531 --> 00:13:41,091
He was a member of Red John's network.

265
00:13:41,126 --> 00:13:42,964
And another member of his network

266
00:13:42,965 --> 00:13:44,868
killed him to stop him from talking.

267
00:13:44,869 --> 00:13:49,110
But here's the thing...
Red John doesn't know I know that.

268
00:13:49,586 --> 00:13:51,927
For the first time, I have the advantage.

269
00:13:52,586 --> 00:13:54,488
You sound nuts, my friend.

270
00:13:54,691 --> 00:13:56,685
No, th-this is real.

271
00:13:57,107 --> 00:13:59,106
If I can find who killed Todd Johnson,

272
00:13:59,107 --> 00:14:00,981
I can trace them back to Red John.

273
00:14:00,982 --> 00:14:03,021
I need LaRoche's suspect list,

274
00:14:03,118 --> 00:14:06,886
which you, with all your back-channel
contacts,

275
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:07,990
can get me.

276
00:14:09,436 --> 00:14:11,689
What does Lisbon think of your theory?

277
00:14:11,837 --> 00:14:14,275
I can't tell her. That'd put her at risk.

278
00:14:14,378 --> 00:14:15,822
Of course.

279
00:14:16,179 --> 00:14:17,599
And what about me?

280
00:14:17,633 --> 00:14:19,540
You're a brave old man
with nothing to lose.

281
00:14:20,667 --> 00:14:22,104
Not so brave.

282
00:14:22,525 --> 00:14:24,233
Not so old.

283
00:14:24,713 --> 00:14:27,324
What do you say? Will you help me?

284
00:14:28,207 --> 00:14:29,882
You need a different kind of help.

285
00:14:30,626 --> 00:14:34,213
Red John has turned you into a paranoid
conspiracy freak.

286
00:14:35,842 --> 00:14:38,192
This from a guy on a pier with
2 40s under his chair

287
00:14:38,193 --> 00:14:39,679
and no fish in his bucket?

288
00:14:40,073 --> 00:14:41,903
You're not even using the right bait.

289
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,131
Am so.

290
00:14:44,733 --> 00:14:46,069
What do you do when you catch one?

291
00:14:46,122 --> 00:14:48,565
Depends on what kind of fish it is. No.

292
00:14:48,994 --> 00:14:51,389
When you catch one,
no matter what kind it is,

293
00:14:51,425 --> 00:14:53,804
you will stop and you will look at it,

294
00:14:53,856 --> 00:14:55,769
at this piece of life that you destroyed,

295
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:56,853
and you will think to yourself,

296
00:14:56,854 --> 00:15:00,161
"what the hell am I doing here,
a drunken fish-killer,

297
00:15:00,675 --> 00:15:02,196
when I could be doing something useful?"

298
00:15:02,197 --> 00:15:03,705
And then you'll call me.

299
00:15:18,576 --> 00:15:20,278
You two should be ashamed of yourselves.

300
00:15:20,817 --> 00:15:23,080
You, with the grudge,
where were you last night?

301
00:15:23,315 --> 00:15:25,186
Having some drinks with the guys.

302
00:15:25,381 --> 00:15:26,407
They were plotting ways to

303
00:15:26,408 --> 00:15:29,125
replace Benjamin as president.
How would you know?

304
00:15:29,246 --> 00:15:30,256
Is it true?

305
00:15:31,741 --> 00:15:33,611
Look, I'm head of the steering committee.

306
00:15:33,935 --> 00:15:36,443
Benjamin was using our society
as a platform

307
00:15:36,444 --> 00:15:38,783
to promote his online business.

308
00:15:38,886 --> 00:15:40,786
And how'd you know what they were
talking about last night?

309
00:15:40,817 --> 00:15:43,821
I was sitting two stools away
at the hotel bar.

310
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,492
They had no idea who I was
without the beard.

311
00:15:46,546 --> 00:15:47,798
Oh, gee, a spy!

312
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:50,450
A concerned member of the N.S.A.S.

313
00:15:51,015 --> 00:15:53,049
They were trying to take over his position.

314
00:15:53,428 --> 00:15:55,690
And they were drooling over his date.

315
00:15:55,952 --> 00:15:57,432
The victim had a date at the bar?

316
00:15:57,478 --> 00:15:59,383
No, at the opening night mixer.

317
00:15:59,795 --> 00:16:03,319
An attractive young woman.
You called her his ho-ho-ho.

318
00:16:03,376 --> 00:16:06,292
Oh, come on. You can't tell me
that Benjamin didn't pay for her

319
00:16:06,293 --> 00:16:08,043
with the proceeds from
that online superstore

320
00:16:08,044 --> 00:16:09,464
that he built on our backs!

321
00:16:09,498 --> 00:16:11,151
Either of you happen to catch
the name of this woman?

322
00:16:11,546 --> 00:16:12,994
Roxy. Roxy.

323
00:16:17,006 --> 00:16:21,411
So, we were all close to Benjamin.

324
00:16:24,850 --> 00:16:27,860
I was his sponsor for ten years.

325
00:16:28,293 --> 00:16:31,911
But really, he helped me up.

326
00:16:31,912 --> 00:16:35,373
**

327
00:16:36,212 --> 00:16:40,413
It's okay, I'm okay. Thanks.

328
00:16:41,226 --> 00:16:42,668
Let's just forge ahead.

329
00:16:45,113 --> 00:16:48,339
Are there any newcomers
in their first few days of sobriety

330
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:49,777
who would like a welcome chip?

331
00:16:56,762 --> 00:16:57,975
Why not?

332
00:17:00,745 --> 00:17:02,302
Oh, okay.

333
00:17:02,443 --> 00:17:04,220
Thank you very... Thank you.

334
00:17:04,656 --> 00:17:05,883
Okay.

335
00:17:11,734 --> 00:17:13,536
Guess I'll be a newcomer every day.

336
00:17:15,281 --> 00:17:17,223
It's customary to introduce yourself.

337
00:17:17,224 --> 00:17:18,616
First name only.

338
00:17:19,385 --> 00:17:20,494
Patrick.

339
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:21,876
Hi, Patrick.

340
00:17:21,929 --> 00:17:23,163
Hi, folks.

341
00:17:23,526 --> 00:17:26,204
Anybody who can sponsor Patrick,
please raise your hand.

342
00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:28,882
Would you?

343
00:17:30,768 --> 00:17:32,606
Sure. Sure.

344
00:17:32,649 --> 00:17:34,939
Um, of... of course. I'd be happy to.

345
00:17:34,972 --> 00:17:36,197
Thank you.

346
00:17:36,462 --> 00:17:38,635
Would you like to share, Patrick?

347
00:17:41,493 --> 00:17:44,492
Uh, no, I'm not... I'm not ready
to share. Not yet, thanks.

348
00:17:44,621 --> 00:17:47,078
Well, nobody will think less of you
if you don't,

349
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:50,203
but you won't find a more supportive
group than we are.

350
00:17:51,408 --> 00:17:52,422
We all...

351
00:17:52,833 --> 00:17:57,066
Find relief in sharing our...
our daily struggle with addiction.

352
00:17:57,127 --> 00:17:59,889
Well, to be perfectly honest,
I'm not an addict.

353
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:03,546
I, um...

354
00:18:04,859 --> 00:18:06,049
Well, that's...

355
00:18:10,065 --> 00:18:12,470
That's not strictly true.
I do have an addiction.

356
00:18:13,530 --> 00:18:14,956
Go on.

357
00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:17,372
You're safe here.

358
00:18:18,869 --> 00:18:20,443
It, um...

359
00:18:20,547 --> 00:18:22,470
Destroyed my family.

360
00:18:25,126 --> 00:18:27,994
But I-I c... I can't talk about it. I...

361
00:18:28,027 --> 00:18:29,081
It's not that I don't want to.

362
00:18:29,082 --> 00:18:31,986
It's just, I have so many bad things
in my head that I'd...

363
00:18:32,037 --> 00:18:33,798
Like to throw out, I just...

364
00:18:39,788 --> 00:18:42,590
If I start talking about it...

365
00:18:50,452 --> 00:18:51,802
I...

366
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:54,452
Just don't know that I'll be able to stop.

367
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:54,452

368
00:18:56,984 --> 00:18:58,123
Excuse me.

369
00:19:03,498 --> 00:19:05,303
Anybody else wanna share?

370
00:19:09,189 --> 00:19:10,455
What are you doing here?

371
00:19:11,224 --> 00:19:12,595
Watching you.

372
00:19:14,859 --> 00:19:17,271
You have substance abuse issues, Patrick?

373
00:19:17,316 --> 00:19:19,777
There's no tag for that in your files.

374
00:19:19,832 --> 00:19:21,107
I'm on a case.

375
00:19:22,303 --> 00:19:25,055
You're telling me those words back there...
They weren't real?

376
00:19:25,102 --> 00:19:26,653
I mean, you're sweating.

377
00:19:26,685 --> 00:19:28,212
Simple parlor trick.

378
00:19:28,551 --> 00:19:31,010
With biofeedback, you can train
your mind to control

379
00:19:31,011 --> 00:19:33,890
involuntary body processes...
heart rate, blood pressure...

380
00:19:34,346 --> 00:19:35,622
Temperature.

381
00:19:36,083 --> 00:19:37,554
I'm glad you enjoyed the performance.

382
00:19:37,586 --> 00:19:39,381
So you're working undercover?

383
00:19:39,415 --> 00:19:41,695
Which you just blew for me.
Thank you very much.

384
00:19:41,751 --> 00:19:43,191
Well, I doubt that.

385
00:19:43,944 --> 00:19:46,922
Up to the moment you left,
you had them transfixed.

386
00:19:49,258 --> 00:19:50,608
What's that like...

387
00:19:51,377 --> 00:19:53,745
Such power over people?

388
00:19:53,795 --> 00:19:55,132
You tell me.

389
00:19:55,658 --> 00:19:59,795
I expect this Robocop routine of yours
normally works

390
00:19:59,843 --> 00:20:01,158
quite effectively.

391
00:20:02,755 --> 00:20:03,877
Normally.

392
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:09,184
But you seem immune,
so I may have to step up my efforts.

393
00:20:10,685 --> 00:20:12,609
Or we could go back to CBI right now

394
00:20:12,610 --> 00:20:14,849
and conduct the interview you owe me.

395
00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:17,288
Patrick? Everything okay?

396
00:20:17,289 --> 00:20:18,880
Yeah, I was just getting some air.

397
00:20:19,070 --> 00:20:20,825
I'll come back in now.

398
00:20:31,728 --> 00:20:33,942
How was Ripple's A.A. group?
Did you learn anything?

399
00:20:33,974 --> 00:20:36,391
Yes. They're very big on hugs.

400
00:20:36,579 --> 00:20:38,004
About the victim?

401
00:20:38,038 --> 00:20:40,528
Well, I'll learn more tomorrow
when I speak with his sponsor,

402
00:20:40,529 --> 00:20:42,149
who is now my sponsor, too.

403
00:20:43,012 --> 00:20:46,082
May Walters. Lovely lady... or a killer.
I can't tell.

404
00:20:46,142 --> 00:20:47,775
You went undercover?

405
00:20:47,807 --> 00:20:51,170
Yes. Why is that so hard to accept?
You never go undercover.

406
00:20:51,309 --> 00:20:54,994
Precisely. I wanted to have some fun,
just like you guys seem to.

407
00:20:55,579 --> 00:20:57,146
Anything on the other Santas?

408
00:20:57,566 --> 00:21:00,596
Santa Bob has motive.
I'm running down his alibi.

409
00:21:01,475 --> 00:21:02,884
They did give us a new lead.

410
00:21:04,099 --> 00:21:07,633
Hello, Roxy Rhodes.
Real name... Roxanne Rabinovich.

411
00:21:07,634 --> 00:21:09,750
No record, but she works
at an elite escort service.

412
00:21:09,751 --> 00:21:11,788
Spent an evening with the victim
the night before he died.

413
00:21:11,819 --> 00:21:14,494
Whoa. Santa got some naughty this year.
Yeah.

414
00:21:14,527 --> 00:21:16,922
We should bring her in here tomorrow.
Yeah, I can question her.

415
00:21:16,923 --> 00:21:19,033
It's my lead. Just offering to help out.

416
00:21:19,476 --> 00:21:21,133
All right. We have a situation.

417
00:21:21,326 --> 00:21:22,948
Someone broke into Ripple's apartment.

418
00:21:27,037 --> 00:21:28,759
Now two hours after we cleared
the crime scene,

419
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,111
we get a call from a neighbor,

420
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:32,672
says she hears a lot of crashing
inside the apartment.

421
00:21:33,681 --> 00:21:35,520
Looks like they were looking for something.

422
00:21:37,445 --> 00:21:38,771
Any signs of forced entry?

423
00:21:38,884 --> 00:21:40,788
None. We think somebody had the key.

424
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:43,066
Must have been one of the elves.

425
00:21:47,574 --> 00:21:48,806
Do you know this man?

426
00:21:49,224 --> 00:21:52,469
Sure. Benjamin. We hung out.

427
00:21:52,608 --> 00:21:54,312
He was murdered two days ago.

428
00:21:56,820 --> 00:21:57,736
Okay.

429
00:21:57,797 --> 00:21:59,651
You don't seem very broken up over this.

430
00:22:00,064 --> 00:22:02,291
Why should I be? I don't marry them.

431
00:22:02,702 --> 00:22:05,258
Just provide a standard g.F.E.

432
00:22:05,289 --> 00:22:07,403
G.F.E.? Girlfriend experience.

433
00:22:08,886 --> 00:22:11,178
I'm paid to show up
and act like I like them,

434
00:22:11,209 --> 00:22:13,767
but I don't get emotionally
involved with clients.

435
00:22:14,185 --> 00:22:16,151
That way madness lies, you know?

436
00:22:16,209 --> 00:22:18,618
And Ripple was a client. No...

437
00:22:18,661 --> 00:22:20,411
But you were his date
at the Santa convention?

438
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,838
I was paid by someone else.

439
00:22:22,888 --> 00:22:24,009
And how does that work?

440
00:22:24,059 --> 00:22:27,385
I'm paid to attend A.A. meetings
and recovery groups

441
00:22:27,386 --> 00:22:29,061
and recruit patients.

442
00:22:29,091 --> 00:22:32,360
Patients for what? This man, Jack Wilder.

443
00:22:33,112 --> 00:22:35,942
He owns a treatment facility
for alcohol addiction.

444
00:22:36,669 --> 00:22:37,692
Very exclusive.

445
00:22:37,744 --> 00:22:40,209
Only the financially secure can afford it.

446
00:22:40,254 --> 00:22:41,971
So let me get this straight...
Wilder hires you

447
00:22:41,972 --> 00:22:44,203
to cruise A.A. meetings
looking for rich drunks?

448
00:22:44,606 --> 00:22:46,760
I meet 'em, chat 'em up, and tell them

449
00:22:46,761 --> 00:22:50,061
about this miraculous treatment
facility that changed my life.

450
00:22:50,092 --> 00:22:51,512
So you underwent the treatment?

451
00:22:52,306 --> 00:22:55,873
No. Tequila is my dear friend.

452
00:22:56,138 --> 00:22:58,930
But that doesn't mean the center
didn't change my life.

453
00:22:58,986 --> 00:23:00,656
You should see my new Jaguar.

454
00:23:02,328 --> 00:23:03,576
No doubt.

455
00:23:03,993 --> 00:23:05,513
Do you have an address for Wilder?

456
00:23:06,068 --> 00:23:07,610
You were very brave yesterday,

457
00:23:07,655 --> 00:23:08,949
sharing like that.

458
00:23:08,984 --> 00:23:12,368
Nah. You were in love with Benjamin,
weren't you?

459
00:23:14,282 --> 00:23:17,561
It's why the program doesn't encourage
opposite-sex sponsors.

460
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,467
But he didn't return the feelings.

461
00:23:20,737 --> 00:23:22,330
I think he did...

462
00:23:22,757 --> 00:23:24,210
In his own way.

463
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,315
But Benjamin had his priorities.

464
00:23:28,369 --> 00:23:29,468
The red suit.

465
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:33,997
I imagine that left you feeling ignored?
Alone? Angry?

466
00:23:34,037 --> 00:23:34,763
Got that right.

467
00:23:34,764 --> 00:23:36,489
Angry enough to destroy his home?

468
00:23:39,325 --> 00:23:40,327
Who are you?

469
00:23:40,381 --> 00:23:41,921
I'm a consultant for the CBI.

470
00:23:41,922 --> 00:23:43,741
We're investigating Benjamin's murder.

471
00:23:43,780 --> 00:23:45,434
You lied about your addiction?

472
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:48,020
No. That's real enough, I suppose.

473
00:23:48,831 --> 00:23:50,882
Where were you the night Benjamin
was killed?

474
00:23:51,015 --> 00:23:52,947
Alone in my apartment.

475
00:23:52,976 --> 00:23:56,008
May, they're gonna treat you
like a suspect.

476
00:23:56,009 --> 00:23:57,546
You destroyed their crime scene.

477
00:23:58,012 --> 00:23:59,675
I went there to find something.

478
00:24:00,662 --> 00:24:03,055
You know, to... to remember Benjamin by?

479
00:24:03,936 --> 00:24:06,708
When I saw the decorations, I-I got mad.

480
00:24:07,962 --> 00:24:09,419
Santa was...

481
00:24:10,203 --> 00:24:12,729
Was another form of addiction for Benjamin.

482
00:24:13,204 --> 00:24:16,663
Any time anything cuts you off
from experiencing your life,

483
00:24:16,664 --> 00:24:18,346
I-it's unhealthy, right?

484
00:24:18,733 --> 00:24:19,947
Wouldn't know.

485
00:24:19,994 --> 00:24:21,271
Last week,

486
00:24:21,415 --> 00:24:23,459
for the first time in ten years,

487
00:24:23,514 --> 00:24:25,175
he took a shot of vodka.

488
00:24:27,149 --> 00:24:29,104
It crushed both of us.

489
00:24:31,912 --> 00:24:34,657
Is this what you were looking for
in Benjamin's apartment?

490
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:44,384
Best ten years of my life.

491
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,721
**

492
00:24:55,174 --> 00:24:57,611
Jack Wilder, behavioral therapist.

493
00:24:57,662 --> 00:24:58,483
Sorry to keep you waiting.

494
00:24:58,484 --> 00:25:01,214
Agent Lisbon, van pelt. We're with the CBI.

495
00:25:01,259 --> 00:25:03,796
We came to see if Benjamin Ripple
was a patient here.

496
00:25:05,398 --> 00:25:08,912
Uh, you know what?
Let's talk about this in my office.

497
00:25:10,028 --> 00:25:13,583
This is a licensed medical facility,
ladies.

498
00:25:13,584 --> 00:25:15,657
My client list is privileged.

499
00:25:15,658 --> 00:25:16,783
Are you a doctor?

500
00:25:17,202 --> 00:25:19,259
Technically, no, but I do have a license...

501
00:25:19,260 --> 00:25:21,614
Well, this is a homicide investigation.
You're a suspect.

502
00:25:21,615 --> 00:25:23,017
There is no privilege here.

503
00:25:23,123 --> 00:25:26,287
Homicide? Benjamin's dead?

504
00:25:26,326 --> 00:25:28,583
With enough alcohol in his system
to kill an elephant.

505
00:25:28,737 --> 00:25:31,089
A girl from an escort service says
that you paid her

506
00:25:31,090 --> 00:25:33,452
to steer Benjamin to your clinic.
Is that correct?

507
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:35,794
That's impossible.
My clients would never take a drink

508
00:25:35,795 --> 00:25:37,681
so soon after treatment. When did he die?

509
00:25:37,712 --> 00:25:38,582
Two nights ago.

510
00:25:38,583 --> 00:25:39,771
When did you treat him?

511
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:43,549
Two nights ago.

512
00:25:46,389 --> 00:25:49,388
Aversion therapy can be used
to treat any bad habit...

513
00:25:49,420 --> 00:25:53,117
Uh, smoking, alcoholism,
gambling, violence...

514
00:25:53,710 --> 00:25:55,275
Sexual deviancy.

515
00:25:55,695 --> 00:25:56,848
My methods are based

516
00:25:56,849 --> 00:25:59,201
on classical conditioning techniques.

517
00:25:59,323 --> 00:26:00,408
Please.

518
00:26:02,226 --> 00:26:04,757
I can turn the pleasurable
activity of drinking

519
00:26:04,811 --> 00:26:06,250
into a repulsive one

520
00:26:06,645 --> 00:26:08,300
by pairing it with noxious smells,

521
00:26:08,331 --> 00:26:09,863
nausea-inducing medication,

522
00:26:10,372 --> 00:26:12,116
low-grade electric shock.

523
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,543
Of course, I record all my sessions
on a hard drive

524
00:26:15,544 --> 00:26:17,210
for insurance reasons, so...

525
00:26:19,405 --> 00:26:20,901
Uh... ah, here we go.

526
00:26:21,152 --> 00:26:23,473
He's blowing .20.

527
00:26:23,526 --> 00:26:26,828
150 over 90. We should stop now. He's okay.

528
00:26:26,859 --> 00:26:30,344
Who is that nurse there?
Uh, Lailah Bloom.

529
00:26:30,474 --> 00:26:33,028
Registered nurse. Ten years E.R.
experience behind her.

530
00:26:33,060 --> 00:26:35,113
She monitors my patients
every step of the way.

531
00:26:35,146 --> 00:26:37,489
We he very strict safety protocols.

532
00:26:37,525 --> 00:26:38,757
How you feeling, Benjamin?

533
00:26:38,788 --> 00:26:40,392
Beautiful.

534
00:26:40,919 --> 00:26:43,201
Uh, sleepy.

535
00:26:43,890 --> 00:26:45,277
I love this guy.

536
00:26:45,912 --> 00:26:48,071
All right, you can turn the camera off now.

537
00:26:48,835 --> 00:26:50,148
Let's get you home.

538
00:26:52,702 --> 00:26:54,647
As you can see, he was perfectly fine.

539
00:26:54,860 --> 00:26:57,700
After treatment, I drove Benjamin
back to his apartment.

540
00:26:57,745 --> 00:26:59,896
You were inside his home the night
he was killed.

541
00:26:59,942 --> 00:27:02,067
I make sure all my patients
get home safely.

542
00:27:05,189 --> 00:27:09,175
What I offer here is a very personal,
hands-on therapy.

543
00:27:09,176 --> 00:27:11,414
It's the only way to make effective
change in people's lives.

544
00:27:11,415 --> 00:27:12,946
That and call girls.

545
00:27:12,947 --> 00:27:14,674
It's an interesting way to drum up
business.

546
00:27:14,702 --> 00:27:17,674
What you see as a call girl,
I see as a marketing expert

547
00:27:17,839 --> 00:27:21,062
with keen insights into the needs
and desires of my clientele.

548
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:24,480
I focus on highly driven professionals.

549
00:27:29,324 --> 00:27:31,763
Give us a few minutes? Sorry.

550
00:27:34,066 --> 00:27:35,402
Men like Benjamin have more to lose

551
00:27:35,403 --> 00:27:37,089
if they can't control their urges.

552
00:27:37,208 --> 00:27:40,547
Before you trash my methods,
talk to my patients.

553
00:27:40,728 --> 00:27:43,534
My success rate is higher
than any alcohol treatment center

554
00:27:43,566 --> 00:27:44,865
in the state.

555
00:27:45,429 --> 00:27:47,137
Excuse me. I need to make a call.

556
00:27:48,086 --> 00:27:50,028
And I'd like to see that entire video.

557
00:27:55,682 --> 00:27:58,589
Lailah, right? You okay?

558
00:27:58,927 --> 00:27:59,994
Fine.

559
00:28:02,206 --> 00:28:03,438
No, you're not.

560
00:28:04,712 --> 00:28:06,017
Talk to me.

561
00:28:08,750 --> 00:28:10,316
Did Mr. Wilder tell you what happened

562
00:28:10,317 --> 00:28:12,085
after I turned off the camera?

563
00:28:15,212 --> 00:28:16,987
Benjamin passed out.

564
00:28:17,817 --> 00:28:20,706
His breathing was shallow,
his temperature was dropping.

565
00:28:20,784 --> 00:28:22,198
Alcohol poisoning?

566
00:28:22,269 --> 00:28:23,506
Yes.

567
00:28:23,957 --> 00:28:26,673
I told Mr. Wilder we should get
Benjamin to a doctor...

568
00:28:26,802 --> 00:28:28,443
a medical doctor.

569
00:28:29,245 --> 00:28:31,092
But he said he had it under control,

570
00:28:31,667 --> 00:28:32,752
and they left.

571
00:28:32,783 --> 00:28:34,946
Has anything like that ever happened
here before?

572
00:28:37,209 --> 00:28:41,542
Look, I think Mr. Wilder is a great man,
okay?

573
00:28:41,639 --> 00:28:43,026
I grew up with alcoholic parents,

574
00:28:43,027 --> 00:28:46,279
so I'm a big believer in pushing
limits to find a cure.

575
00:28:47,375 --> 00:28:48,732
But now...

576
00:28:49,969 --> 00:28:51,319
I don't know.

577
00:28:51,801 --> 00:28:53,421
Thanks for talking to me.

578
00:28:56,169 --> 00:28:59,183
Lailah said Ripple was showing
signs of alcohol poisoning.

579
00:28:59,214 --> 00:29:00,548
The coroner told me that's consistent

580
00:29:00,549 --> 00:29:01,986
with what he found at autopsy.

581
00:29:01,987 --> 00:29:03,898
Okay, so Jack Wilder drives Ripple home.

582
00:29:03,929 --> 00:29:06,799
Maybe Ripple passes out,
Wilder can't revive him,

583
00:29:06,831 --> 00:29:09,841
so he stages a suicide
rather than risk losing it all.

584
00:29:10,237 --> 00:29:11,336
There's only one problem.

585
00:29:11,337 --> 00:29:13,182
The evidence is circumstantial. All of it.

586
00:29:13,183 --> 00:29:15,168
I don't even think we have enough
for a search warrant.

587
00:29:15,563 --> 00:29:16,758
What kind of character witness

588
00:29:16,759 --> 00:29:18,340
do you think Lailah would make in court?

589
00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:20,631
She does feel loyalty for Wilder.

590
00:29:20,661 --> 00:29:22,270
I checked her employment history.

591
00:29:22,371 --> 00:29:25,473
She left a $70,000 job
at Sacramento General

592
00:29:25,474 --> 00:29:26,971
two months ago to work for him.

593
00:29:27,406 --> 00:29:29,787
On the other hand, both her parents
were alcoholic.

594
00:29:29,864 --> 00:29:32,358
I think that's where
her real sympathy lies.

595
00:29:32,388 --> 00:29:34,426
Parents were alcoholic?

596
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:38,849
Her mom died in a car crash.

597
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,062
She was drunk.

598
00:29:40,117 --> 00:29:41,588
Cirrhosis of the liver took her dad.

599
00:29:41,621 --> 00:29:43,639
Also alcohol-related.

600
00:29:43,806 --> 00:29:47,802
Chance has thrust our way
a very sordid and vexing problem.

601
00:29:49,635 --> 00:29:51,164
But have no fear.

602
00:29:52,234 --> 00:29:53,350
We don't.

603
00:29:53,351 --> 00:29:56,204
I do. What's your plan?

604
00:30:02,697 --> 00:30:04,931
Thank you for, uh, fitting me in.

605
00:30:05,335 --> 00:30:07,328
Our corporate retreat is in two days.

606
00:30:07,465 --> 00:30:09,339
That's why it's crucial to get started now.

607
00:30:10,538 --> 00:30:12,754
- You're sure you've had nothing
to eat today? - No, no, no.

608
00:30:12,755 --> 00:30:14,332
To stressed to eat.

609
00:30:14,783 --> 00:30:17,386
They say it's a rafting trip.
It's really just an excuse

610
00:30:17,387 --> 00:30:20,199
to drink like Germans for a weekend.

611
00:30:21,981 --> 00:30:24,675
I can't afford to slip. I'm up for C.E.O.

612
00:30:24,732 --> 00:30:27,502
Don't worry, Patrick.
All behavior is learned.

613
00:30:27,627 --> 00:30:29,139
And with my help, soon,

614
00:30:29,304 --> 00:30:31,867
your unwanted behavior will be unlearned.

615
00:30:32,271 --> 00:30:34,619
Now I want you to take this dial.
Mm-hmm.

616
00:30:34,652 --> 00:30:35,983
And select a level of current

617
00:30:36,028 --> 00:30:38,210
that's uncomfortable but not painful.

618
00:30:43,978 --> 00:30:45,175
Tickles.

619
00:30:45,422 --> 00:30:46,482
Ooh. Okay.

620
00:30:46,527 --> 00:30:47,702
Touchy.

621
00:30:47,879 --> 00:30:51,029
Tonight, we are gonna take the fun
out of drinking for you.

622
00:30:54,196 --> 00:30:56,701
Lailah, pour the man some whiskey.

623
00:31:00,835 --> 00:31:02,113
Bottoms up.

624
00:31:11,569 --> 00:31:13,134
Mm! Ooh. I felt that.

625
00:31:14,980 --> 00:31:16,349
I did feel that.

626
00:31:16,397 --> 00:31:19,897
Our goal is to associate alcohol
and all of its social rituals

627
00:31:19,929 --> 00:31:21,166
with the unpleasant sensation

628
00:31:21,167 --> 00:31:23,819
of electricity running through your body.

629
00:31:24,255 --> 00:31:25,637
Okay.

630
00:31:43,796 --> 00:31:45,044
Good, good.

631
00:31:45,099 --> 00:31:46,272
Taxi.

632
00:31:46,491 --> 00:31:47,963
How you feeling, Patrick?

633
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,631
Well, Lailah, I'm probably
not going to remember much

634
00:31:50,632 --> 00:31:52,463
about tonight, so let's just take a moment

635
00:31:52,464 --> 00:31:55,037
to remember this moment forever together.

636
00:31:56,738 --> 00:31:59,159
You have brown eyes
and you're wearing earrings.

637
00:31:59,985 --> 00:32:03,119
I'll never forget that.
Time to raise the current.

638
00:32:03,215 --> 00:32:04,332
Really?

639
00:32:05,236 --> 00:32:07,656
These restraints will make sure
you don't accidentally

640
00:32:07,657 --> 00:32:09,328
dislodge your electrodes.

641
00:32:09,473 --> 00:32:12,754
We don't wanna dislodge any electrodes,
do we, doc?

642
00:32:13,345 --> 00:32:14,962
Ready for the next one?

643
00:32:15,446 --> 00:32:17,252
Uh... here's to sobriety.

644
00:32:31,665 --> 00:32:33,705
This is the last one.

645
00:32:34,524 --> 00:32:36,088
Are you okay?

646
00:32:36,522 --> 00:32:38,400
He's fine, Lailah.

647
00:32:38,788 --> 00:32:42,296
He's just a little tipsy.
This is the most important one.

648
00:32:42,474 --> 00:32:44,022
Please continue.

649
00:32:45,691 --> 00:32:47,804
Oh. Okay.

650
00:33:02,235 --> 00:33:04,629
I feel like... I can move.

651
00:33:05,548 --> 00:33:07,469
The air doesn't stop me.

652
00:33:10,939 --> 00:33:13,274
His eyes are pretty red. Yours are glazed.

653
00:33:13,275 --> 00:33:14,751
You been eating doughnuts?

654
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,415
The patient's blood pressure is too low.
Something's wrong.

655
00:33:18,456 --> 00:33:22,119
No, it's okay. You set me free
of all my pain.

656
00:33:22,461 --> 00:33:24,630
Irregular heartbeat. Skin's ice.
No, no, no.

657
00:33:24,631 --> 00:33:26,162
It's impossible. I calculated
his body weight.

658
00:33:26,163 --> 00:33:27,594
This man will go into cardiac arrest

659
00:33:27,595 --> 00:33:29,227
without emergency medical care.

660
00:33:29,254 --> 00:33:31,425
Go call 9-1-1. Go!

661
00:33:38,463 --> 00:33:40,292
I'll set you free.

662
00:33:40,757 --> 00:33:42,267
Forever.

663
00:33:53,272 --> 00:33:54,446
Gotcha.

664
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,579
Whoa, little head spin there.

665
00:33:57,082 --> 00:33:59,644
You can't be conscious. Your vitals...

666
00:34:00,071 --> 00:34:01,949
Little biofeedback trick.

667
00:34:01,989 --> 00:34:03,984
Well, not so little when you're drunk.

668
00:34:05,637 --> 00:34:08,480
Cat's in the bag. Come on in.

669
00:34:08,481 --> 00:34:09,899
What are you talking about?

670
00:34:09,944 --> 00:34:11,279
I'm a cop.

671
00:34:11,337 --> 00:34:15,289
Well, cop-adjacent.
This place is surrounded.

672
00:34:20,054 --> 00:34:22,553
It's a complex little transmitter.

673
00:34:22,554 --> 00:34:26,188
Surveillance van out the front
full of people with large guns.

674
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,167
You are in trouble.

675
00:34:32,077 --> 00:34:33,483
You're lying.

676
00:34:34,501 --> 00:34:37,412
Let me guess. 190-proof alcohol.

677
00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:39,675
Same gut-rot you shot into Ripple.

678
00:34:40,168 --> 00:34:42,607
The good doctor here thinks
you're an angel.

679
00:34:42,637 --> 00:34:44,210
I am an angel.

680
00:34:44,621 --> 00:34:46,677
Yeah. An angel of death.

681
00:34:48,257 --> 00:34:49,824
You know, I had a hunch

682
00:34:49,868 --> 00:34:52,393
soon as I found out about your pants.

683
00:34:53,793 --> 00:34:55,911
Pardon me. Your parents.

684
00:34:57,391 --> 00:34:58,851
You've experienced a lot of pain.

685
00:34:58,894 --> 00:35:02,227
Alcohol causes pain. Loneliness.

686
00:35:02,258 --> 00:35:05,534
It was you that overdosed Ripple.
It wasn't Wilder.

687
00:35:06,383 --> 00:35:07,598
He left and you went in.

688
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:09,504
How did you get into Benjamin's apartment?

689
00:35:09,505 --> 00:35:10,856
When Benjamin was drunk,

690
00:35:10,857 --> 00:35:12,767
he mentioned where he kept his spare key.

691
00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:17,194
Poor thing was hurting so badly inside.

692
00:35:19,614 --> 00:35:22,755
Benjamin, wake up. It's important.
Hmm? Huh?

693
00:35:22,809 --> 00:35:24,478
Uh... there are children outside.

694
00:35:24,525 --> 00:35:26,266
Oh... they wanna see Santa.

695
00:35:26,298 --> 00:35:28,277
Oh, can't let the children down.

696
00:35:35,696 --> 00:35:37,205
Uhh. I'm not feeling so good.

697
00:35:37,253 --> 00:35:39,262
All you gotta do is wave at them.

698
00:35:40,296 --> 00:35:41,465
You see 'em down there? No.

699
00:35:41,466 --> 00:35:43,202
Maybe if you lean a little further.

700
00:35:44,711 --> 00:35:46,094
Oh. You see 'em?

701
00:35:54,270 --> 00:35:56,018
Do you know the one part of the body

702
00:35:56,019 --> 00:35:59,306
that coroners rarely inspect
for needle marks?

703
00:36:03,061 --> 00:36:04,707
Inside the navel.

704
00:36:07,975 --> 00:36:10,667
Uh, cat's in the bag,
and the bag's almost in the river!

705
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:12,702
If I end your suffering now,

706
00:36:13,224 --> 00:36:15,611
Jack will be blamed for both deaths.

707
00:36:16,183 --> 00:36:18,836
And let's face it,
Jack needs to be stopped.

708
00:36:18,940 --> 00:36:20,766
He's a little crazy.

709
00:36:23,350 --> 00:36:24,668
Drop the needle!

710
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:26,631
Put it down! Now!

711
00:36:28,660 --> 00:36:30,576
I'm sorry. We didn't mean
to cut it this close.

712
00:36:30,577 --> 00:36:32,958
This place is a maze. Turn around.

713
00:36:34,785 --> 00:36:35,581
Are you all right?

714
00:36:35,622 --> 00:36:38,104
Oh, yeah. I'm fine. I'm still home.

715
00:36:38,977 --> 00:36:40,628
Would you take me drunk?

716
00:36:43,619 --> 00:36:45,969
Mr. LaRoche?
What's going on in here?

717
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:49,353
I've come to question Jane
bout the murder of Todd Johnson.

718
00:36:49,398 --> 00:36:53,687
Unless he answers my questions,
his status as a CBI consultant

719
00:36:53,688 --> 00:36:55,573
will fall under immediate review.

720
00:36:55,699 --> 00:36:57,548
No more waiting, no more ducking.

721
00:36:57,578 --> 00:36:59,279
No, you don't. Not now. No.

722
00:36:59,690 --> 00:37:02,632
No, it's all right, Lisbon.
I got this one. I got him.

723
00:37:02,696 --> 00:37:05,023
Come on. Fire away.

724
00:37:07,346 --> 00:37:08,824
I got it. Okay.

725
00:37:23,391 --> 00:37:26,994
Agent Lisbon states that
before Todd Johnson was set on fire,

726
00:37:27,026 --> 00:37:31,246
he indicated to her that he had
a secret he wanted to tell you,

727
00:37:31,656 --> 00:37:33,293
and you alone.

728
00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:35,139
We all have secrets.

729
00:37:36,110 --> 00:37:39,454
Most of them are quite unremarkable
once revealed.

730
00:37:42,227 --> 00:37:44,520
What's your secret, Mr. Laroosh?

731
00:37:45,381 --> 00:37:46,683
LaRoche.

732
00:37:47,086 --> 00:37:48,492
Pardon me.

733
00:37:49,111 --> 00:37:50,886
I have no secrets.

734
00:37:51,329 --> 00:37:52,640
None?

735
00:37:56,312 --> 00:38:01,715
You have a very keen, speculative mind.

736
00:38:02,048 --> 00:38:03,369
You flatter me.

737
00:38:06,089 --> 00:38:09,332
What do you think Johnson
wanted to tell you?

738
00:38:09,425 --> 00:38:12,315
What was his secret?
Your best guess.

739
00:38:12,359 --> 00:38:13,726
Best guess.

740
00:38:13,773 --> 00:38:15,563
Uh, same sad old story.

741
00:38:17,222 --> 00:38:19,337
Just wanted to explain himself.

742
00:38:20,807 --> 00:38:24,114
Wanted to show someone that he was human.

743
00:38:25,179 --> 00:38:30,241
He's just a lonely soul trying to get by
like you or me.

744
00:38:31,008 --> 00:38:32,958
Why did he have to tell you this?

745
00:38:32,989 --> 00:38:34,810
Because he's a cop killer...

746
00:38:34,959 --> 00:38:40,570
In a cop house, full of cop hens
and cop chickens.

747
00:38:41,366 --> 00:38:42,747
That's very amusing.

748
00:38:42,993 --> 00:38:44,768
And I'm not a cop.

749
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:47,766
But you would be very surprised

750
00:38:47,767 --> 00:38:51,351
how unsympathetic policemen
can be... and women.

751
00:38:57,490 --> 00:38:58,116
Thank you.

752
00:38:58,117 --> 00:39:01,590
Oh, no. Thank you. It was fun.

753
00:39:02,064 --> 00:39:03,468
We'll be in touch.

754
00:39:05,875 --> 00:39:08,738
Oh, if you, uh... care to share

755
00:39:08,739 --> 00:39:10,706
any of the developments
on the case with me,

756
00:39:10,707 --> 00:39:13,066
then I won't tell anyone.

757
00:39:13,327 --> 00:39:14,892
Why would you wanna know?

758
00:39:14,923 --> 00:39:16,288
I love a mystery.

759
00:39:18,491 --> 00:39:20,257
It's one of my failings.

760
00:39:33,581 --> 00:39:34,618
Ah. Patrick?

761
00:39:35,565 --> 00:39:36,651
Ah, Virgil.

762
00:39:37,235 --> 00:39:39,512
Meet may. May, this is Virgil.

763
00:39:41,317 --> 00:39:42,900
Hello, may. Hi.

764
00:39:45,644 --> 00:39:49,209
Uh... oh, uh, um, a moment alone,
please, Jane?

765
00:39:49,326 --> 00:39:50,696
Mm. Will you excuse us?

766
00:39:50,739 --> 00:39:51,820
Sure.

767
00:39:53,785 --> 00:39:55,474
Excuse me. A little parched.

768
00:39:57,471 --> 00:39:58,814
Thank you for meeting me here.

769
00:39:59,590 --> 00:40:02,476
You look terrible.
What did you do last night?

770
00:40:02,477 --> 00:40:04,117
Ah, it's all a little gauzy.

771
00:40:04,118 --> 00:40:07,334
I hope you don't mind I brought may along.

772
00:40:07,420 --> 00:40:09,003
Uh, you know, what's her story?

773
00:40:09,064 --> 00:40:10,927
Oh, come on. Ask her yourself.

774
00:40:13,269 --> 00:40:16,274
Listen, I'd, uh...
I'd like to convey my gratitude.

775
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,149
Easy, cowboy. You just met her.

776
00:40:18,281 --> 00:40:20,056
I'm not talking about that.

777
00:40:20,619 --> 00:40:22,961
What you said about that fish.

778
00:40:23,558 --> 00:40:27,063
You opened my eyes to some ugly truths
that I've been avoiding.

779
00:40:31,433 --> 00:40:34,688
LaRoche's suspect list, secured
through back channels

780
00:40:34,689 --> 00:40:36,424
and personal favors.

781
00:40:37,122 --> 00:40:39,590
LaRoche has no idea I have it..

782
00:40:43,297 --> 00:40:44,349
Thank you.

783
00:40:48,552 --> 00:40:49,825
You need anything else, let me know.

784
00:40:49,826 --> 00:40:52,648
I will. I have to go.
Uh, could you do me a favor?

785
00:40:52,801 --> 00:40:54,834
Could you extend my apologies to may?

786
00:40:54,865 --> 00:40:56,778
Perhaps you'll sit with her
and have some lunch?

787
00:40:56,825 --> 00:40:59,588
I can do that, I think.

788
00:41:02,328 --> 00:41:03,383
Any tips?

789
00:41:03,698 --> 00:41:06,917
Uh, yes. You might wanna
consider growing a beard.

790
00:41:12,617 --> 00:41:21,611
* May your days be merry and bright *

791
00:41:23,610 --> 00:41:29,662
* and may all your Christmases *
