[ Man Speaking Latin ]
[ Latin ]
Faye, CharIie.
Dr. Lightman.
I'm sorry about, uh, Dave and Sue.
Yeah. To Iose their son and then die in a car crash-
Life is so unfair.
[ Continues In Latin ]
It's time.
[ Charlie ] lt's about time they killed this monster...
for what he did to our nephew.
Death by injection is too good for this unrepentant son of a bitch.
Yeah. WeII, what can I say?
[ Continues ln Latin ]
You okay?
Don't answer that.
I'II shut up now.
[ Continues In Latin ]
[ Monitor Beeping ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
[ Man On P.A. ] Do you have any last words?
- I'm an innocent man. - Go to heII.
The Pied Piper was a ratcatcher who was tricked and didn't get paid.
He stole the children of Hamelin so the rich would remember the day.
I didn't take IittIe Rex.
The Pied Piper did.
I need to taIk to the governor.
Uh, no. He's teIIin' the truth when he says he didn't take the boy.
- CouId I speak to him? - Have you Iost your mind?
Is he on the phone? Is that the governor on the phone?
- The governor can't speak to you. - He can't, or he won't?
- [ Guard ] Come on. - I'm good. [ MumbIes ]
[ Man ] Dream, send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
l need to break out
Make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand-new day
For two weeks this guy makes terrifying phone calls to the family...
kidnaps their eight-year-oId son, and brutaIIy murders him.
- He deserves to die. - Big taIk is easy when you're not the executioner.
You think I'm afraid of that?
Show me the switch. I'd be happy to throw it.
Well, it's gross that he's had three hots and a cot for 1 7 years.
But the reaI issue is that Jason WiIkie randomIy chose my nephew.
lt could have been anyone's son.
Putting him to death- That's about ensuring pubIic safety...
and deterring other crimes.
That was Charlie Sheridan, uncle of the murder victim speaking to us earlier.
Jason WiIkie never confessed...
to the kidnapping and gruesome murder...
of eight-year-oId Rex Sheridan 1 7 years ago.
A last-minute stay of execution...
couId onIy come from the governor of Virginia.
I can't beIieve Lightman is in there.
- Why is Lightman in there? - It's the first case he worked on...
that Ied to a death penaIty conviction.
- PIus, there's the Zoe connection. - This just in-
Jason WiIkie was just pronounced dead...
the 1 04th person to die by execution in the state of Virginia...
- since 1 97 6. - [ Knocking On Door ]
Hi. I need the case fiIes for the WiIkie triaI-
- The transcripts, the tapes, the Iot. - Go to City HaII.
I can't. It wouId take too Iong.
And you kept copies. I know you did.
You made the paper. Look, it's over, CaI.
PIease. For both our sakes'.
Look, I saw WiIkie Iie dozens of times during his triaI.
AII right? But Iast night he was teIIing the truth.
Wait. So you're teIIing me, the woman who prosecuted WiIkie...
based in Iarge part on your science, that you got it wrong?
- No, I didn't get it wrong. - When? Last night or 1 7 years ago?
- Both. - [ Scoffs ] How is that possibIe?
I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
- I didn't do it. I swear. - Do what?
Oh, good. I thought you guys were fighting about me.
- We're not fighting. We're just having- - We're not fighting.
We're having a work-reIated discussion.
You know.
So hey. Congrats on making the paper.
I thought teenagers didn't read newspapers anymore.
They do when their dad goes nuts at an execution.
- Don't Iet it go to your head, aII right? - You ready for schooI?
Uh, yeah, I forgot to teII you. I don't need a ride.
Hannah's parents just got her a new Prius- hint, hint-
so she's picking me up.
Look, I need those fiIes, Zoe, pIease.
[ Ben ] l need you to hear something.
Now, this is the caII that Rex Sheridan's parents received 1 7 years ago...
just days before he was kidnapped.
[ ChiIdish Voice ] Jack and JiII went up the hiII
To fetch a pail of water
Jack feII down Broke his crown
And JiII came tumbIing after
[ Chuckles ]
I'm gonna get you. [ ChuckIes ]
- Ready or not, here l come. - [ Ben ] All right, now, get this.
You know Faye and CharIie Sheridan...
the aunt and uncIe of that same IittIe boy that got murdered?
Well, Mrs. Sheridan came back home...
after taking the kids to schooI this morning-
Found this message on their answering machine.
[ Same Caller ] Ring around the rosie
Pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down
I'm gonna get you.
Ready or not, here l come.
[ Laughs ]
- Oh, my God. - Yeah.
WeII, maybe some cIown is just pIayin' siIIy buggers, you know...
after watching WiIkie on TV aII week.
No. Look at the sound-wave anaIysis.
This is new F.B.l. software.
Each voice has features as unique as fingerprints.
The two caIIers are identicaI.
- Seventeen years apart. - This is no copycat.
Do you think that Jason WiIkie couId have made this recording before he was arrested?
WeII, if the governor had taken my bIoody phone caII, we'd know for sure, wouIdn't we?
Well, doesn't that prove it wasn't Jason Wilkie?
That we heIped execute an innocent man?
[ Indistinct ]
[ Sighs ] I couId do this aIone, if you'd prefer.
You think I got the wrong person 1 7 years ago, don't you?
Yes.
I think you couId have made a mistake.
So do you.
Zoe was a young prosecutor...
eager to get a conviction...
and you wanted to heIp her.
- You stiII do. - Do you charge by the hour for this?
CIassic defIection.
CIassic CaI Lightman.
- Now, Iook, I saw a man executed Iast night. - Go on.
WeII, I think I saw something on his face that I'd never seen before.
- WeII, what did you see then? - Um-
WeII, I don't reaIIy know what it was.
But you need to foIIow it to the ends of the earth no matter what...
knowing you.
AII right. Come on, then.
[ GiIIian ] Have you reached your chiIdren?
Abby and Brady are upstairs. Our oIdest son, OIiver-
He's driving back to college in Baltimore.
We haven't been able to reach him yet, but the F.B.l. is waiting for him there.
Oh, my God. Brady just turned eight.
Rex was eight when he was abducted.
- [ Stereo.. Loud Rock ] - VinyI- StiII the best, right?
It's briIIiant. It's the best.
The heavy metaI kids. They're fantastic, they are.
[ Stops ]
Excuse me. What are you doing?
I thought you might have had a safe.
- That sign means a Iot to us. - Oh, reaIIy?
The Home Fed Diner is the first property my father purchased.
Oh, no offense intended.
- So where's the tape? - What tape?
The one that you used to fake the voice maiI you just got-
One from 1 7 years ago- The creepy nursery rhyme tape?
That one. Where is it?
You think we faked that message?
Oh. AIphabetized books.
Oh, that's a red fIag if ever I saw one.
- [ Gillian ] Heyl - Wait a minute!
CharIie? You've gone a IittIe quiet aII of a sudden.
You know, for someone who's got such a Ioud mouth.
- You can't come in here and- - The message that you cIaim you got-
That was a hoax. I mean, you've been on TV for years.
You've made a career out of getting Jason WiIkie executed.
Now he's been done, hasn't he?
So how you gonna maintain your victim status?
What's wrong with you?
First WiIkie did it, then he didn't. Now this?
Either you enjoy infIicting emotionaI pain...
or you're a compIete fraud, Dr. Lightman.
WeII, you're right.
Sorry. Um, I'm sorry about the books.
You know, but sometimes you have to use a pickax to get at the truth.
- Do you know what I mean? - You may work with the F.B. I., but I want you out of my house.
Oh, I understand. CompIeteIy.
The F.B.l. initially had four other suspects besides Jason Wilkie-
A schooI bus driver, a homeIess man...
a phone company repairman and a supervisor.
You know, they never pinpointed the actuaI source of the caIIs.
CouIdn't trace 'em for some reason.
Does Lightman seem weird to you?
Uh, he's rude, impatient, distant-
- Seems pretty normaI to me. - Yeah, but isn't that weird?
He may have heIped execute an innocent man...
and he has no emotionaI reaction?
- Doesn't that make him a sociopath? - Or it's just a mask.
Where is he? I know he's here.
Dr. Lightman's at a meeting across town. Can I heIp you, Mr. WiIkie?
Dr. Lightman Iied back when he said Jason committed that crime.
You turned Jason in to the authorities.
Because I thought he might be invoIved somehow.
Dr. Lightman is the one who said he was sure.
He's the one who convinced the jury to put my brother on death row.
The facts of this case have not changed.
The caIIs are happening again. I saw it on the news.
The reaI kiIIer is stiII aIive, and Jason is-is-
He's dead now, and-
What have I done?
- Sir, why don't we go sit down? - No. Listen.
You teII Lightman that I am suing his ass...
and the state of Virginia, in the wrongfuI death of my brother.
All right, Faye, we got this whole system set up...
so that when your home phone rings, it'II ring here as weII.
Which will keep me out of your hair.
[ Ben ] Look, if another call comes in, don't panic, okay?
Just stick with the script that Dr. Foster has wrote out for you.
Let's rehearse again.
- [ Phone Ringing ] - Is that him?
- HeIIo? - [ Man ] Mrs. Sheridan?
- It's Noah Benson. - I-It's my son's roommate.
- Noah, is everything aII right? - Uh, an F.B.l. agent is here looking for Oliver.
He's still not here yet, and no one knows where he is.
So OIiver was auditioning for the ''Men of Fincher'' coIIege caIendar.
We found his scheduIe on his computer.
He had an appointment with a photographer this afternoon...
which may have been the Iast person to have seen him.
What aren't you teIIing me, eh?
Look, there's a Iot of peopIe down at headquarters...
that don't think you shouId be invoIved in this case.
Why? 'Cause it's too personaI?
Or 'cause they think I've Iost my marbIes...
or I've aIready made a mistake and got an innocent man executed?
- They didn't say that. - Yeah, but you did- Right there.
- Look, I'm not the enemy here, Lightman. - ReaIIy?
- ReaIIy. - Prove it.
Oliver Sheridan was here for about, uh, 30 minutes.
- Do you have any idea where he went? - None.
See, I was expecting Iads in varsity jackets.
- Not meat and two veg. - Yeah, weII, that's what seIIs.
Yeah, fair enough. So where's your pictures of OIiver then?
Uh, it's on the second sheIf.
Red foIder. I'm on a deadIine here.
AII right.
No, no, no, no. He's-He's dressed Iike an Eskimo here.
Where's your caIendar pix?
Look, just 'cause a guy's good Iookin'...
doesn't mean the camera's gonna Iove him.
- So how did he handIe this rejection then? - [ ChuckIes ]
He was disappointed, but he took it well.
You- You can't open that without a search warrant.
ReaIIy? I'II teII you what.
If you're not ashamed of anything in there...
all right, you can call the cops.
- Yeah. - Didn't think so.
Just stop him.
- What do you got there? - Young Beach Studs.
- [ Ben ] Huh. - Fraternity Fun.
Twenty-One and Hot.
- It's research. - [ Lightman ] Ha. AII right, I win.
You owe me 1 0 bucks.
See, whenever anyone says ''it's for research,'' I win.
If they say ''that's not mine,'' then he wins.
- So cough up. - There you go.
- Thank you very much. - Congrats.
l think that this calendar thing-
l think it's just an excuse for you to get young men naked in your apartment.
- I run a business. - Really?
- What's the matter with your Ieg? - What?
- You heard me. - Nothing.
- ReaIIy? - [ Groans ]
- Geezl Godl - Ouch.
Liar. Let's have a Iook.
- [ Laughs ] - I feII.
See, I think you got fresh with OIiver.
He rejected you. You got angry and vioIent.
So what happened? Did you kiII him?
Look, he's the one who got vioIent. I-
I rubbed his shouIder, and he hit me with a goIf cIub and Ieft.
Do you know where he was going?
Oh, that's a ''no.''
[ Ria ] Aw, come on. You're fishing for a job.
Why? Because Jack Rader's made it cIear that he appreciates my research?
That I'm weIcome there? And I have the most Ieverage with him now?
Look, face it. This ship is sinking.
So the rats fIee?
WeII, you know, news of Lightman's mistake is aIready out there...
and once this Iawsuit is fiIed, this company is finished.
Even if we win, it'II be too Iate.
Lightman's reputation wiII be destroyed.
Ours wiII be damaged aIongside it.
WeII, what about- What about IoyaIty?
WeII, you know, the way Lightman insuIts me on a daiIy basis...
bIind IoyaIty wouId just be seIf-Ioathing.
And the best time to Iook for a job is when you aIready have one.
I need you to puII up Jason WiIkie's finaI words.
[ Typing ]
The Pied Piper was a ratcatcher who was tricked and didn't get paid.
He stole the children of Hamelin so the rich would remember the day.
l didn't take little Rex. The Pied Piper did.
There are theories that the Pied Piper is the symboI of death-
That the fairy taIe was concocted to expIain...
a horribIe tragedy where chiIdren died.
- Any news about OIiver Sheridan? - He's unaccounted for...
but that doesn't definiteIy mean that he's been kidnapped.
You don't beIieve that.
Do you expect us to just share this deIusion...
that Lightman is infaIIibIe, that Jason WiIkie might not have been innocent?
Without Lightman, you'd be in some university basement doing research...
and you'd stiII be a gIorified baggage handIer.
Maybe instead of polishing up your resumes...
you ought to think about what you can do to heIp Lightman.
[ Sighs ] Zoe. Uh, CaI's not here.
Um, actuaIIy, I came to taIk to you.
I'm worried about CaI.
He seems to be handIing things in his own unique way.
He won't even speak to me about the case.
He won't even return my phone caIIs.
I was hoping you couId taIk to him, GiIIian.
You were the onIy one who couId aIways get through.
That's funny. I aIways thought that about you.
[ ChuckIes ]
The truth is, there's...
probabIy onIy one person that can reach him.
- [ Wilkie ] l can fly over the moon. - [ Tape Rewinds ]
l can fly over the moon. Okay? l-l can swim under the sea.
The onIy one I teII my secrets to is Beth-
- [ Door Opens ] - My poodIe.
[ Door Closes ]
Right.
- Hey. - Hey.
- What's goin' on? - Nothin'.
So Foster sent you over here to check on me, did she?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Her and Mom.
WeII, you teII 'em I'm fine.
ActuaIIy, I need to taIk to you about Mom.
She's been acting, uh, depressed IateIy.
Just different.
WeII, she is. You know.
But she is a strong woman.
- She'II get through it. - I mean, I know what's going on.
I know it has to do with that WiIkie guy who was executed.
Yeah. She thinks we might have made a mistake. He might be innocent.
WeII, was he?
I don't know.
We can rule out the homeless man and the phone repairman...
based on the oId videos, but we're stiII Iooking...
at the schooI bus driver and the phone company supervisor.
The probIem with aII these oId suspects is Iack of motive.
I mean, this-
Whoever did this is probabIy a raving Iunatic anyway, so-
Hey. I found something in WiIkie's oId interview, right?
He's trying to sound crazy, 'cause he's trying to get off on an insanity pIea...
but when he says he onIy teIIs his secrets...
to his poodIe, Beth, he's not fakin' it.
He had an ex-girIfriend. Her name was Beth Lansford.
I think maybe he teIIs his secrets to her.
Beth's the key.
- Any idea where she is? - Yeah. l spoke to her mum.
She signed into a psychiatric hospital two days ago...
which is a bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
Let me give it to you straight, 'cause you don't seem to get it.
Nobody cares about WiIkie's dog or his ex-girIfriend.
- Excuse me? - You're off this case.
And this comes from the top.
- [ Phone Rings ] - That's the Sheridan home phone.
- [ Ringing Continues ] - You might wanna get that.
- HeIIo. - [ ChiIdish Voice ] What's green and red...
and goes reaIIy fast?
- Frog in a bIender. - [ Laughs ] A frog in a blender.
- [ Giggles ] - [ Faye ] You have a really beautiful voice.
You remind me of my son Oliver, when he was a little boy.
He Ioves riddIes too...
um, and basebaII and ice cream.
Good. Good. She keeps humanizing the victim.
[ Faye ] What's your name?
[ Same Caller ] Do you want to know where Oliver is?
[ Faye ] l do.
[ SniffIes ] Yes, I do. I miss him very much.
[ Caller ] Then tell me how you play the game Bloody Murder.
[ Faye Sniffles, Sighs ]
You get in a circle with everyone, and then-
- [ Caller ] That's wrong. - [ Hangs Up ]
- [ Beeping ] - [ Groans ]
Damn it. The caII's coming up as if...
it's coming from 300 different ceII phone numbers in Virginia.
- We'II never get a trace. - I'm off to see Beth.
Go home, Lightman. I'm serious.
You try to do anything reIated to this case...
and the F.B. I. wiII drop the entire Lightman Group.
And quite frankIy, you're starting to sound a IittIe insane.
- ReaIIy? - ReaIIy.
I was hoping you'd say that.
He's a bully, and he's a racist.
And just 'cause he's in the F.B. I. doesn't make him a god, right?
Besides, they're teIIing me to do him in, so-
- The, uh, voices? - Yeah. What? You can't hear 'em?
- And they're actuaIIy teIIing you to... kiII him? - Yeah.
Under a bus or, you know, just shoot him. Whatever.
- Do you own a gun? - Oh, yeah, I do. Of course I do.
Oh, yeah, it's my right. Yeah. Second amendment.
- And what's this F.B. I. agent's name? - Why?
- What? You're gonna warn him, are you? - [ ChuckIes ]
Look, the point is that l'm the victim here.
He's waIking around. He's teIIing everyone that I'm a psycho.
AII right? When he's the one that's driving me crazy.
Look, just caIm down. I'm deaIing with it, aII right?
I wouId Iike you to, uh...
stay with us for a whiIe, Mr. Stein.
No. No, no, no, no, no.
I just came here to get those- you know, those IittIe white piIIs.
- The ones that heIp me sIeep. - I'm afraid I have to hoId you for 7 2 hours...
- for, uh, being a danger to others. - Can I have JeII-O?
[ Door Buzzing ]
No ''cheeking'' your meds, Beth.
Let me see you swaIIow 'em.
Good. Thank you.
- AII right, Professor? - Good morning, Mr. Stein.
- Steen. - Steen.
[ Indistinct ]
What've you got? CaIm down.
Cheer up, Iove.
It's a cheery pIace, this, isn't it? A Iaugh a minute.
What are you in for? No- Don't teII me. Let me guess.
O.C.D.? Panic attacks?
Agoraphobia?
- Nymphomania? - I am suicidaI.
- Now, Ieave me aIone. - Ohl Suicide-
l know a thing or two about suicide.
From, you know, an intimate perspective, you might say.
Mind if I join you?
Did you know Jason WiIkie named his poodIe after you?
- Who the heII are you? - Me?
I'm just another nutcase Iooking for answers, Iove.
- Hey- - Nurse.
No, no, no, no. No, you don't want to do that.
If you caII for heIp, I wiII bust your IittIe game.
- Game? - Yeah. You're not suicidal.
You're not even depressed. What you are- Right? Is scared.
You're scared for your Iife.
That's why you're hiding in here.
- You don't know what you're taIking about. - Yeah, l do.
I do.
You're in the paranoid chair.
It's-It's the best seat in the house.
Really. 'Cause no one can sneak up on you.
See, depressives- They retreat into themselves.
But you- You're watching everybody.
- What's your point? - My point is...
that you checked in here the day that WiIkie was executed.
Right?
Nothin'? ReaIIy?
What, are you hard now? Nurse!
Nurse, I've-I've got something to teII you.
No. No, it's okay. Um, I'II-I'II teII you what you want to know.
CouId I troubIe you for a Iatte?
That's a bit rude, isn't it?
You were saying?
Uh, a coupIe of days ago...
I got a caII from an oId friend of Jason's.
He said he was watching me, that peopIe might ask questions.
He said if I said anything about him and Jason...
he wouId hunt me down and kiII me.
- Who was he? - I don't know his reaI name.
Jason caIIed him- [ ExhaIes ]
What? What did he caII him?
- The Pied Piper. - The Pied Piper?
How did Jason know him- This Pied Piper character?
He said that they met as kids...
when they were at some summer music camp.
Yeah.
I just- I had one Iager too many Iast night.
I've caIIed my friend. We're aII square, so I'm ready to be reIeased.
And what about the voices teIIing you to kiII him?
What voices? No, it was just the beer taIking.
- You don't beIieve me, do you? - WeII, Mr. Stein, uh-
- Steen. - Steen.
This is what we caII a ''fIight to recovery.'' It's aIways short-Iived.
Look, Doctor, I do not have a mentaI iIIness.
- Terrific. - TruIy.
WeII, if you stiII don't have one in two days, you'II be discharged.
[ Door Buzzing ]
WeII, it was worth a try.
[ Ben ] We found Oliver's car in a ditch off of Route 4.
Looks Iike somebody may have run him off the road.
Oh, we found this nearby.
That's OIiver's favorite jacket.
[ Phone Ringing ]
[ Ringing Continues ]
[ Ben ] Go on.
HeIIo.
[ ChiIdish Voice ] What feeds on human bIood five times a day?
- I don't know. Why don't you teII me? - Lice.
What insects fly alone in the dark?
Do you give up?
- [ Pants ] - Locusts.
- PIease. Where's OIiver? - l know...
but you don't.
And what makes you think I can break this hoId?
WeII, you're the Iawyer. You teII me.
WeII, you got into this mess by threatening vioIence.
You couId have aIways checked in voIuntariIy.
No, I needed to be on the Iocked ward so I couId taIk to Beth.
When she mentioned the Pied Piper, she was taIking...
about a reaI person, so now I need to get out of here.
WeII, you couId caII Foster and ReynoIds.
They couId aIways handIe it.
I aIready used up my phone priviIege when I caIIed you.
So are you gonna heIp me, or what?
No.
Though I find it fascinating that you feeI Iike...
I'm the onIy one you can caII...
- and yet we can't even have a reaI aduIt conversation. - What do you want to know?
Why don't you try teIIing me how you reaIIy feeI?
AII right. Um- Um-
I'm upset and I'm scared.
And I'm reaIIy, reaIIy, reaIIy rattIed.
I give up.
What, you actuaIIy want me to try to convince the doctor that you're not insane?
It's worth a shot, right?
''Locust'' and ''darkness''-
None of this is random. He has a pIan.
Also, he got angry when Faye didn't know the rules to Bloody Murder.
He's controIIing and very detaiI-oriented.
It's the 1 0 pIagues- Frogs, Iice...
Iocusts, bIood, darkness.
- And the death of firstborn sons. - Yeah.
Rex was the eIdest. So is OIiver.
All right, everybody, give us five minutes, okay, please?
Come on, Iet's go. Let's go.
You know, speaking of Iunatics-
When I said you sounded insane, I didn't mean for you to go check into a psych ward.
- I know. - You went to see WiIkie's ex-girIfriend, didn't you?
Yeah. I couIdn't resist it.
And it turns out-
[ Spits ] WiIkie's not working on his own.
Right? ''The Pied Piper'' is a nickname for a reaI person.
They went to music camp together.
In the fairy taIe, the Pied Piper pIays...
some sort of fIute or a cIarinet.
Maybe that's what he pIayed at music camp.
WeII, you know, whoever it is, he's got aII the answers.
You do know that I'm not gonna just waIk away from this?
So teII the Bureau to fire me...
and to find another Lightman Group.
- Good Iuck on that, by the way. - Yeah, just be right this time.
- [ Phone Beeping ] - I'II do my IeveI best.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fantastic.
I'm here if you need me.
- You know that, right? - Yeah.
I know that, Iove.
Oh! HeIIo.
So, Mom has some pictures Iaid out from the WiIkie triaI...
a few months after you guys met.
She's Iooking a IittIe rounder than usuaI.
- And? - And we've never reaIIy discussed it before...
- but I'm pretty good at math. - Your point being?
I was born seven and a haIf months after you guys married.
WouId you beIieve that you were premature?
At eight pounds, eight ounces?
No, your mom was pregnant when I married her.
You couIdn't have just come out and toId me that?
No, we didn't want to ceIebrate our mistakes, have you go on and copy 'em.
- Oh, so I was a mistake? - Course not.
So how'd it happen?
Were-Were you drunk? Was it just a one-night stand?
Did you even go on a date first?
Yes, no, and yes.
What's the matter, eh?
Did you onIy marry Mom because you got her pregnant?
No, no. Of course not. I'm not that much of a gentIeman.
No. Be serious.
I want to know if I'm the reason you guys spent 1 4 miserabIe years together.
Look. I married your mum because I Ioved her.
You comin' aIong just heIped me puII the trigger.
PIus, they were by no means...
1 4 miserabIe years.
[ Kisses ]
So... I didn't, Iike-
Iike, ruin your Iife, or something Iike that?
No, no. You were the best news I ever got.
Yeah. StiII are.
- So you were drunk- - Yeah.
- it wasn't a one-night stand- - No.
- and you were dating. - Yeah.
I married your mum 'cause I Ioved her.
If I had to do it aII over again, yeah.
No. I take that back.
Studies have shown that the strongest deterrent to a law suit is familiarity-
a personaI reIationship- so I figure I estabIish a rapport with Kevin...
it'II be that much harder for him to sue, knowing it'II affect my IiveIihood.
WeII, I'm going with you...
because if this works, I'm not Ietting you take aII the credit...
- for saving Lightman. - And if it doesn't work?
Then it's aII your fauIt, and I'm gonna caII the Rader Firm...
and set up an interview.
So anyway, we just- We just wanted to come by and see how you were doing.
Last time we saw you, you were pretty upset-
understandabIy so- and, uh-
- We- - We brought you some pastries.
I know firsthand what stress can do. It- It can-
You caII what I've been going through just stress?
Dr. Lightman tried to stop the execution...
and he's devoted himself to the case.
He's very cIose to finding someone eIse who may have been invoIved.
That doesn't change the fact that Jason is dead because your boss made a mistake.
Let's cut to the chase. Why are you reaIIy here?
- Mr. WiIkie- - To convince me not to sue Lightman.
I know this might seem pretty weird, but, um...
if there's anything you need...
or if you just want to taIk or something...
there's my number.
It was reaIIy nice getting to know you.
Thank you.
No one can even look me in the eye these days...
so l appreciate it.
Maybe l'll hold off on suing Lightman till l learn what he finds.
I did not hurt that IittIe boy.
You want me to confess, but I won't.
[ Tape Backing Up ]
I did not hurt that IittIe boy.
- You want me to confess, but I won't. - [ Phone Ringing ]
- Lightman. - [ ChiIdish Voice ] Do you know...
who the first Iiar in the worId was?
The deviI.
In the BibIe he's caIIed ''the Father of Lies.''
Is Zoe a Iawyer, or a Iiar?
No, if we're pIaying 20 questions here...
I think it's my turn.
What's your deaI with eIdest sons?
Do you know where your daughter is
Can she come out and pIay?
- [ Beeps ] - [ Recorded Voice ] DiaI by name.
- EmiIy. - EmiIy.
- [ Line Ringing ] - EmiIy.
[ Zoe ] Cal, it's me. Emily left her phone here.
- She went to see you. - She Ieft my pIace about an hour ago.
We've got a probIem.
Hannah said she never picked up Emily. Tell me exactly what happened.
I got a caII on my private Iine asking me if I knew where EmiIy was.
Was it him? What did he say?
Yeah, this is CaI Lightman caIIing for Agent ReynoIds.
Well, find himl Tell him it's an emergency.
- What did he say? - The F.B. I. wiII start a search.
We shouId just caII EmiIy's friends.
What? I-I toId you HaIey was picking me up.
We were just getting something to eat.
You said Hannah.
No, I said HaIey.
First, there are the phone calls, then he takes your child.
That's the pattern.
Let's just go through aII this stuff again.
What's in that box?
[ Sighs ] Photos that WiIkie's mother gave me during the triaI...
to prove that Jason was a good boy.
Rex was kept aIive for three days.
- News cIippings aren't reIevant. - Everything is reIevant.
There's a killer after our daughter, and the only way to keep her safe is to catch him.
You don't get to decide what is and isn't reIevant.
That's preciseIy what the kiIIer wants.
He wants to panic us into stopping our search.
The best way that we can end this is to find him.
I just want to keep her safe.
WeII, the F.B. I.'s parked right outside, Iove.
[ Sobs ] I can't take any more.
You can do this.
[ SniffIes ]
Those photographs from WiIkie's mum-
- Are they, uh- Are they from when he was a kid? - Yeah.
Right. The Pied Piper and Jason knew each other when they were kids...
so there might be something there.
[ Sighs ]
- Kevin's the youngest. Right? - Mmm.
WeII, Iook at the body Ianguage.
I mean, he's cIearIy in controI. He's dominant.
And the other two, the oIder two, they just- They adore him.
And who's the oIder one?
WiIIiam.
WiIkie's mother said that her oIdest son, WiIIiam...
died of pneumonia when he was just a kid.
Oh, my God. It was Kevin.
Yeah. With a cIarinet.
Kevin is the Pied Piper.
Right? He made the phone caIIs. He kidnapped Rex.
But he had Jason kill him.
- They were partners. - Why?
lt was revenge for the death of their eldest brother, William.
WiIIiam came down with pneumonia...
after their father Iost his job at the Home Fed Diner.
Right. Now, the diner was torn down by the Sheridan Company.
Part of their first deveIopment deaI.
The family was worried about money, so they didn't take him to the hospital.
- He died after three days. - So they bIamed the Sheridan famiIy enough to kiII Rex?
And after Jason was executed, Kevin had to take revenge again.
All right, so we found Kevin's car at the train station.
He's Iong gone, and there's no sign of OIiver at his house.
We must've tipped him off when we went to taIk to him.
We toId him Lightman was cIose to finding the cuIprit.
WeII, if his M.O. is to kiII the victim on the third day...
OIiver couId be dead aIready.
[ Ben ] AII right, get the Iights.
[ Radio Chatter ]
The G.P.S. on Kevin's car shows us he was here three days ago.
He was the chief engineer on this project...
before it was shut down about a month ago.
AII right, everybody, keep your eyes and your ears open.
- Let's fan out. - [ Man, Indistinct ]
[ Man #2 ] Cover me.
Whoa, whoa. Shh, shh, shh!
[ Scraping ]
Do you hear that?
There's someone in there. Give me something to open this up with.
- Come on, come on. - Yeah. Here you go.
- Oh! Damn! - [ SqueaIing ]
- Geezl - [ Laughs ]
[ Man On Radio ] Affirmative. We're gonna pick that up.
I hate rats.
Prichard, you stay with Lightman. You three, come with me.
We're goin' to check upstairs.
This doesn't beIong here.
Here, hoId this for me.
Oliver? Can you hear me?
[ Indistinct ]
[ Grunts ]
- [ Sharp Groan ] - HoId it right there! Don't move!
- Cal, you okay? - [ Man ] Take him away.
Yeah, he's in the waII.
- Let me see your hands. - Check on OIiver.
- Come on. We got an agent down. - Right on it.
[ Groaning ]
- [ Siren Blaring ] - [ Radio Chatter ]
Mr. Sheridan? I owe you an apoIogy.
- I'm sorry about being such an ass earIier. - No. Forget it.
- And thank you- for everything. - PIeasure.
Hey, you're bIeeding. You sure you don't want to go to the hospitaI?
No, no. These guys are gonna patch me up.
- How about, uh, WiIkie? - We found the equipment he used to make the caIIs.
- He's not taIking yet, but he's stabIe. - StabIe? He's an animaI.
If I had my way, he wouIdn't be taIking at aII.
Good stuff.
[ Speaking Latin ]
Oh, turn that off.
- Are you okay? - Peachy.
I got hoId of Jason WiIkie's surveiIIance tape just before his execution.
His finaI prayer was in Latin.
It was a confession of sins.
Maybe it was his way of taking the bIame for-for kiIIing Rex Sheridan.
Yeah. WeII, I'd Iike to think this is aII over...
but, you know, I've been wrong before.
- We never doubted you, CaI. - ReaIIy?
- Not for a second. - ReaIIy?
- I had your back. - Oh, yeah?
WeII, I had an exit pIan too.
Yeah. Jack Rader. WeII, I'd have done the same thing.
Pay's better.
- Aaah! - Ooh, sorry.
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Oh, I'm doing nothing of the sort. I'm Iike FIorence NightingaIe.
You know, you could make your life a whole lot easier...
if you wouId just admit that you need peopIe.
- You don't have to be such a Ione woIf, CaI. - Do me a favor.
What with you two and Foster and the rest of the group...
- it's Iike a three-ring bIoody circus. - You know what l mean.
Let the record refIect that Zoe Landau is correct.
- You happy now? - Ecstatic.
[ Mutters ] Don't move.
Okay, you're aII set.
- ReaIIy? - Yeah. Let's go get something to eat.
Uh, hey, I'm sorry you guys thought I was missing earIier.
You know, l thought of the perfect solution...
- that'II make sure that never happens again. - Oh, yeah? Let's hear it.
Buy me a car. I mean, think about it.
You'II- You'II never have to get confused about who's picking me up.
Oh, that's cIever, that is.
- Yeah, weII, she gets her craftiness from you. - Yeah, not bIoody IikeIy.
So, uh, is that a ''yes''?
Dream on, darIing.
