1
00:00:51,585 --> 00:00:54,247
Don't know if he jumped
or if somebody pushed him.
2
00:00:54,455 --> 00:00:57,481
- He had to fall from the apartments above.
- Any witnesses?
3
00:00:57,658 --> 00:01:01,219
No. Nobody saw him hit, but a crowd
sure gathered fast once he did.
4
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:05,855
Including the attorney general's niece.
She hasn't stopped sobbing since.
5
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:10,094
Let's process this scene quickly, get the
body out of here. You get an ID yet?
6
00:01:10,271 --> 00:01:13,672
No, but I'll tell you what,
that is one fine Santa suit.
7
00:01:13,841 --> 00:01:18,437
Plush pile, real leather uppers.
I wish mine was that nice.
8
00:01:18,612 --> 00:01:21,080
The beard appears to be real.
9
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:22,613
Hey, Jane?
10
00:01:22,783 --> 00:01:25,081
Could I trouble you
for a professional opinion?
11
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:34,025
- No.
- No what?
12
00:01:34,195 --> 00:01:37,062
- This isn't the actual Santa Claus.
- Oh, really?
13
00:01:37,231 --> 00:01:40,428
Some say he doesn't exist, period...
14
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:42,796
...that he's a 19th century
marketing gimmick.
15
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:44,698
I venture no opinion on that...
16
00:01:44,872 --> 00:01:48,205
...but this definitely isn't him,
this is an impostor.
17
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:50,275
And how can you tell?
18
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:52,605
Santa would smell like reindeer
and chimneys.
19
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:54,543
This man smells like cheap whiskey.
20
00:01:54,715 --> 00:01:59,482
Uh, excuse me, could you, uh, reach inside
that outside pocket there?
21
00:01:59,653 --> 00:02:03,145
Yeah, just there near the candy canes.
What is that?
22
00:02:03,757 --> 00:02:05,315
A Christmas card.
23
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,728
"My life is a lie. Forgive me."
24
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:12,730
It's not a traditional Christmas greeting,
but it has punch and concision.
25
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,165
Very thoughtful of him
to put it in a plastic baggie for us.
26
00:02:16,337 --> 00:02:18,999
- Lets us out. It's a straight-up suicide.
- Possibly.
27
00:02:19,173 --> 00:02:20,902
But you don't think so.
28
00:02:21,075 --> 00:02:23,566
Here is a man that spends his time
making kids happy.
29
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:26,338
Putting a little magic in their life,
giving them hope.
30
00:02:26,547 --> 00:02:28,947
- Yeah?
- Would a man like that end his life...
31
00:02:29,116 --> 00:02:31,778
...making such a bloody spectacle
of himself...
32
00:02:31,952 --> 00:02:35,479
...in character, in a public place
where children are bound to see him...
33
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:38,989
...and spoil their Christmases forever?
I doubt it. This was murder.
34
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,288
Okay, you may have a point,
but let's keep an open mind on this--
35
00:02:42,463 --> 00:02:44,192
Murder.
36
00:02:48,135 --> 00:02:50,194
Happy holidays.
37
00:03:07,888 --> 00:03:10,379
Benjamin Ripple
has been a tenant here for years.
38
00:03:10,591 --> 00:03:13,151
He'd never kill himself.
He enjoyed his life too much.
39
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,352
- And his art.
- His art?
40
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:20,626
The art of being Santa. Benjamin lived
by the traditions of St. Nick, year round.
41
00:03:21,869 --> 00:03:24,702
Uh, we'll take it from here. Thanks.
42
00:03:24,872 --> 00:03:26,396
Thank you.
43
00:03:27,975 --> 00:03:29,101
Wow.
44
00:03:32,046 --> 00:03:34,241
Well, this is a man who knew how
to sustain a moment.
45
00:03:34,415 --> 00:03:35,814
Jingle bells, jingle bells
46
00:03:35,983 --> 00:03:38,042
I can't believe people buy this crap.
47
00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:41,878
I sense a Christmas speech
coming on.
48
00:03:42,056 --> 00:03:44,752
No, I just think
people can celebrate a holy day...
49
00:03:44,925 --> 00:03:49,191
...without lying to children about a
magical fat guy with a sack full of toys.
50
00:03:49,363 --> 00:03:51,524
You took the Santa revelation
badly, huh?
51
00:03:51,699 --> 00:03:53,860
Crushed my heart like a cigarette.
52
00:03:54,034 --> 00:03:56,730
Explains why you're still looking
for magic in your life.
53
00:03:56,904 --> 00:03:58,667
Benjamin Ripple on the other hand...
54
00:03:58,839 --> 00:04:03,333
...chose to keep his childhood beliefs
very much alive.
55
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:05,705
He was happiest
when he was at home.
56
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:07,437
Felt protected.
57
00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:10,048
Not so popular at school.
58
00:04:10,217 --> 00:04:12,515
I'm guessing his parents died young...
59
00:04:12,686 --> 00:04:18,556
...so to cope, he transformed his most
cherished memories into an identity.
60
00:04:19,393 --> 00:04:23,454
And a successful career, based on this
Father Christmas fantasy chalet here.
61
00:04:23,664 --> 00:04:25,393
A career like this?
62
00:04:25,566 --> 00:04:28,933
"St. Nick's Picks.
Your holiday decorations superstore."
63
00:04:29,103 --> 00:04:30,434
It's a mail-order business.
64
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:32,868
Benjamin Ripple was a survivor.
65
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,771
- Highly unlikely he took his own life.
- So you think the suicide was staged.
66
00:04:36,944 --> 00:04:39,412
Well, that's not to say
he was without his secrets.
67
00:04:39,580 --> 00:04:41,172
We all have secrets, don't we?
68
00:04:42,249 --> 00:04:45,707
And Christmas,
well, is full of contradictions.
69
00:04:45,886 --> 00:04:51,085
A man that devoted his life to spreading
joy could very likely be hiding a, uh....
70
00:04:51,292 --> 00:04:52,486
What is that?
71
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:53,988
What?
72
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:57,126
Oh.
73
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:02,326
Sobriety chip.
74
00:05:02,503 --> 00:05:03,936
Still waiting on forensics...
75
00:05:04,104 --> 00:05:08,006
...but the coroner said that Santa's
blood-alcohol concentration was 0.45.
76
00:05:08,208 --> 00:05:11,006
- That's a lethal level.
- So much for sobriety.
77
00:05:11,211 --> 00:05:14,237
Why would somebody kill the victim
if he was dying of booze?
78
00:05:14,415 --> 00:05:17,441
- That suggests suicide, not murder.
- So does his bank account.
79
00:05:17,618 --> 00:05:21,281
His mail-order business was hit hard
by the recession. It's almost bankrupt.
80
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:23,821
His business takes a dive,
then he takes a dive...
81
00:05:23,991 --> 00:05:26,084
- ...straight off his building.
- Guess again.
82
00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:30,356
I showed the suicide note to our analyst,
compared it to Ripple's signature.
83
00:05:30,531 --> 00:05:32,863
- He didn't write the note.
- And back to murder.
84
00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:34,694
What else do we know about Ripple?
85
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:38,770
Uh, he's president of something called
The National Society of Authentic Santas.
86
00:05:38,939 --> 00:05:40,600
- What's that?
- A fraternal group...
87
00:05:40,774 --> 00:05:43,334
...dedicated to the accurate portrayal
of Santa Claus.
88
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:46,638
Ripple's neighbor told me.
They're having a convention downtown.
89
00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:50,011
You and Van Pelt head over there.
See what you can find out.
90
00:05:50,184 --> 00:05:51,617
After Hightower's briefing...
91
00:05:51,785 --> 00:05:54,845
- ...on the Johnson killing.
- What does she have to brief us for?
92
00:05:55,022 --> 00:05:57,513
- Someone torched a killer.
- It happened in our house.
93
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,352
He was a cop killer. Good riddance.
94
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:02,290
Yeah, okay.
Zip it if you know what's good for you.
95
00:06:03,997 --> 00:06:06,989
Walk over.
I'm gonna go round up Jane.
96
00:06:08,802 --> 00:06:12,670
Two days ago,
a suspect was doused in an accelerant...
97
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,832
...and set alight in a CBI holding cell.
98
00:06:16,009 --> 00:06:20,810
This was not karma, rough justice,
payback...
99
00:06:20,981 --> 00:06:23,176
...this was a criminal act.
100
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:26,581
The homicide investigation will be led
by J.J. LaRoche...
101
00:06:26,787 --> 00:06:29,221
...the new head
of our Professional Standards Unit.
102
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:31,889
Thank you.
103
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:35,061
Who the hell's J.J. LaRoche?
104
00:06:36,163 --> 00:06:38,529
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.
105
00:06:43,737 --> 00:06:46,035
Thank you, Miss Hightower.
106
00:06:49,042 --> 00:06:53,604
It's very likely that one of you people
here in this room is the murderer.
107
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:56,515
You know who you are.
108
00:06:57,184 --> 00:06:59,414
Okay. Lights, please.
109
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:03,646
I'm going to run through
the facts now...
110
00:07:05,025 --> 00:07:08,324
...so that we are all on the same page.
111
00:07:10,531 --> 00:07:15,127
The victim was Todd Johnson, EMT.
112
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:22,207
Responsible for killing six policemen
and a young woman, that we know of.
113
00:07:26,046 --> 00:07:31,450
Our updated security system has
provided me with a very accurate list...
114
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:35,384
...of everybody who was in this building
at the time of the murder.
115
00:07:35,722 --> 00:07:37,781
This guy should charge admission.
116
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:42,088
I will be talking selectively
with some of you on the list.
117
00:07:42,262 --> 00:07:47,393
Over the next days, my people will be
taking blood, hair and tissue samples...
118
00:07:47,568 --> 00:07:49,160
...from everybody on the list.
119
00:07:49,369 --> 00:07:52,930
Your cooperation is expected
and appreciated.
120
00:07:53,373 --> 00:07:55,238
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
121
00:07:55,409 --> 00:07:56,740
Why the samples?
122
00:08:00,481 --> 00:08:01,607
What's your name?
123
00:08:02,616 --> 00:08:04,106
Wayne Rigsby.
124
00:08:07,421 --> 00:08:09,582
Wayne Rigsby.
125
00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:16,491
Wayne, we need the samples
to test for accelerants.
126
00:08:18,532 --> 00:08:20,796
Thank you for your interest.
127
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:23,396
Any other questions?
128
00:08:54,568 --> 00:08:56,365
Tyger, tyger
129
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:10,844
You remembered something.
130
00:09:12,185 --> 00:09:14,346
- Did I?
- Yes, you did.
131
00:09:14,521 --> 00:09:15,579
What was it?
132
00:09:15,756 --> 00:09:18,850
The smell of a man burning.
Do you know that smell?
133
00:09:19,026 --> 00:09:21,517
Yes. Very like barbecue.
134
00:09:21,695 --> 00:09:24,892
But we both know
that's not what I'm referring to.
135
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:27,264
A lighter.
136
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,037
I opened the door, Todd was on fire...
137
00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:34,537
...and there was a green lighter
on the bench.
138
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:37,608
But it wasn't in the evidence report.
139
00:09:38,779 --> 00:09:41,407
- You read the evidence report.
- More like skimmed.
140
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:43,914
Those things,
they're not exactly summer reading.
141
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:46,177
But I get paid to consult, so skim I do.
142
00:09:52,225 --> 00:09:54,284
It's on its way to the FBI crime lab.
143
00:09:54,895 --> 00:09:57,557
- May I?
- No.
144
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:03,093
I won't be needing your consultation
on this case.
145
00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:05,636
But you and I will talk, this afternoon.
146
00:10:05,806 --> 00:10:08,001
Look forward to it.
147
00:10:21,054 --> 00:10:22,817
Wow. Santapalooza.
148
00:10:23,256 --> 00:10:26,953
For Santa Henry's
Social Media Workshop at 3:00.
149
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:31,154
And, uh, don't forget to buy your
raffle tickets for the Jingle Ball tonight.
150
00:10:31,832 --> 00:10:33,663
Oh, hi, I'm Bob. Can I help you?
151
00:10:33,834 --> 00:10:36,132
Agent Rigsby, Agent Van Pelt.
We're from CBI.
152
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:38,294
Oh, you're here about Benjamin.
153
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:42,899
He should be up here, not me.
154
00:10:43,076 --> 00:10:46,136
We're just all trying to move ahead here.
It's what he'd want.
155
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:48,941
- Were you close with the victim?
- Yes, I was.
156
00:10:49,116 --> 00:10:51,243
- We all were--
- Liar.
157
00:10:52,786 --> 00:10:56,313
You hated Benjamin.
You were trying to kick him out of office.
158
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:59,254
Well, congratulations,
you got what you wanted.
159
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:02,520
- And you are?
- Tony.
160
00:11:02,696 --> 00:11:04,960
And that man had a vendetta
against Benjamin...
161
00:11:05,132 --> 00:11:09,034
...because he wanted to open our doors
to Santas of all races, creeds and colors.
162
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:11,864
Which will never happen.
163
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:16,198
Look, if Santa isn't white, male
and Christian, then what the heck is he?
164
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:20,278
He's everyone. He's the spirit
of generosity in all of us. He's the--
165
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:22,574
Oh, would you be quiet,
you dumb hippie?
166
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:27,211
Hey, hey. Okay,
let's just go for a little drive, shall we?
167
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:30,683
Everything's fine, just carry on.
168
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:35,991
Happy Hanukkah.
169
00:11:47,441 --> 00:11:48,703
Mm.
170
00:11:49,976 --> 00:11:51,910
Where's Patrick Jane?
171
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:53,602
In the field.
172
00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:57,009
That's inconvenient.
173
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:02,412
I'm sorry, is there a problem?
174
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:08,151
Yes. Jane is the lead suspect
in my investigation and I can't find him.
175
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:11,159
Jane's your lead suspect?
176
00:12:12,666 --> 00:12:14,896
You smile.
177
00:12:15,569 --> 00:12:18,538
You think he's not capable of murder?
178
00:12:18,705 --> 00:12:24,166
He's capable. I'm smiling because
it's an absurd idea, Jane killing Johnson.
179
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:26,209
He caught him. He put him in that cell.
180
00:12:26,379 --> 00:12:29,177
He was the last person to see him alive
in that cell.
181
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:31,442
And I was next to last.
182
00:12:31,651 --> 00:12:33,778
Look, Johnson asked
to speak with Jane.
183
00:12:33,954 --> 00:12:36,548
He said he had a secret
he wouldn't tell anyone else.
184
00:12:36,723 --> 00:12:39,351
Jane didn't wanna see him,
I made him go.
185
00:12:39,526 --> 00:12:42,393
The guy was on fire
when he opened the cell door.
186
00:12:42,562 --> 00:12:43,859
Why would Jane kill him?
187
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:49,627
That's what I shall ask him,
when I find him.
188
00:12:51,471 --> 00:12:52,495
Hey, Lisbon.
189
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:53,934
LaRoche is looking for you.
190
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:55,574
Oh, wish him luck.
191
00:12:55,742 --> 00:12:58,768
You don't wanna rile this one up,
you should probably come in.
192
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:01,743
Uh, did you track down
Ripple's alcohol recovery group?
193
00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:05,442
I think I found what I'm looking for.
Gotta go.
194
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,790
Hey, Virgil.
195
00:13:15,996 --> 00:13:19,159
Patrick. What are you doing here?
196
00:13:19,332 --> 00:13:22,096
Your old assistant told me
where to find you.
197
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:23,293
I need your help.
198
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:26,462
That's a twist. You never needed
my help when I was your boss.
199
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,403
What help could I be now?
200
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:30,770
A cop killer burned alive
in CBI custody.
201
00:13:30,944 --> 00:13:32,809
I heard.
202
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:35,072
If it's anything to do with that, I don't--
203
00:13:35,248 --> 00:13:38,445
Whoever set the fire
works for Red John.
204
00:13:38,618 --> 00:13:39,710
Jane.
205
00:13:40,754 --> 00:13:42,949
He was a member
of Red John's network.
206
00:13:43,123 --> 00:13:46,991
And another member of his network
killed him to stop him from talking.
207
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,620
But here's the thing,
Red John doesn't know I know that.
208
00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:54,028
For the first time,
I have the advantage.
209
00:13:54,968 --> 00:13:56,936
You sound nuts, my friend. Ha, ha.
210
00:13:57,103 --> 00:13:59,435
No, this is real.
211
00:13:59,606 --> 00:14:03,098
If I can find who killed Todd Johnson,
I can trace them back to Red John.
212
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:05,369
I need LaRoche's suspect list...
213
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:09,777
...which you, with all your
back-channel contacts, can get me.
214
00:14:11,885 --> 00:14:13,978
What does Lisbon think
of your theory?
215
00:14:14,154 --> 00:14:16,315
I can't tell her.
That would put her at risk.
216
00:14:16,489 --> 00:14:19,549
Of course. And what about me?
217
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:22,626
You're a brave old man
with nothing to lose.
218
00:14:22,796 --> 00:14:26,391
Not so brave, not so old.
219
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:29,593
What do you say? Will you help me?
220
00:14:30,971 --> 00:14:32,666
You need a different kind of help.
221
00:14:32,839 --> 00:14:36,366
Red John is turning you
into a paranoid conspiracy freak.
222
00:14:38,011 --> 00:14:42,175
This from a guy on a pier with two 40s
under his chair and no fish in his bucket.
223
00:14:42,349 --> 00:14:46,046
- You're not even using the right bait.
- Am so.
224
00:14:46,887 --> 00:14:49,822
- What'll you do when you catch one?
- Depends what kind it is.
225
00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:51,048
No.
226
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:53,522
When you catch one,
no matter what kind it is...
227
00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:55,923
...you will stop
and you will look at it...
228
00:14:56,096 --> 00:14:58,997
...at this piece of life you destroyed,
and you will think:
229
00:14:59,165 --> 00:15:02,760
"What the hell am I doing here,
a drunken fish killer...
230
00:15:02,936 --> 00:15:06,872
...when I could be doing something
useful?" And then you'll call me.
231
00:15:20,655 --> 00:15:22,623
You two should be ashamed
of yourselves.
232
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:24,485
You, with the grudge,
where were you last night?
233
00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:27,293
Having some drinks with the guys.
234
00:15:27,461 --> 00:15:30,157
They were plotting ways
to replace Benjamin as president.
235
00:15:30,331 --> 00:15:31,958
- How would you know?
- Is it true?
236
00:15:33,768 --> 00:15:35,497
I'm head of the Steering Committee.
237
00:15:36,003 --> 00:15:40,565
Benjamin was using our society as a
platform to promote his online business.
238
00:15:40,775 --> 00:15:42,834
How'd you know
what they were talking about?
239
00:15:43,010 --> 00:15:45,672
I was sitting two stools away
at the hotel bar.
240
00:15:46,180 --> 00:15:48,410
They had no idea who I was
without the beard.
241
00:15:48,582 --> 00:15:49,742
Oh, gee, a spy.
242
00:15:49,917 --> 00:15:52,385
A concerned member of the NSAS.
243
00:15:53,187 --> 00:15:55,348
They were trying
to take over his position...
244
00:15:55,523 --> 00:15:58,185
...and they were drooling
over his date.
245
00:15:58,359 --> 00:16:01,658
- The victim had a date at the bar?
- No, at the opening-night mixer.
246
00:16:01,829 --> 00:16:03,194
An attractive young woman.
247
00:16:03,364 --> 00:16:05,264
You called her his "ho ho ho."
248
00:16:05,433 --> 00:16:07,924
You can't tell me
that Benjamin didn't pay for her...
249
00:16:08,102 --> 00:16:11,538
...with the proceeds from that
online superstore he built on our backs.
250
00:16:11,706 --> 00:16:13,264
Catch the name of this woman?
251
00:16:13,441 --> 00:16:15,534
Roxy.
252
00:16:19,013 --> 00:16:23,245
We were all close to Benjamin.
253
00:16:26,687 --> 00:16:29,850
I was his sponsor for 10 years...
254
00:16:30,324 --> 00:16:34,886
...but really, he held me up.
255
00:16:38,366 --> 00:16:40,129
It's okay.
256
00:16:40,334 --> 00:16:43,098
I'm okay. Thanks.
257
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:45,067
Let's just forge ahead.
258
00:16:47,608 --> 00:16:50,042
Are there any newcomers
in their first few days of sobriety...
259
00:16:50,211 --> 00:16:51,974
...who would like a welcome chip?
260
00:16:56,817 --> 00:16:57,909
Um....
261
00:16:58,786 --> 00:17:00,583
- Why not?
- Heh.
262
00:17:02,923 --> 00:17:06,086
Oh, hey. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
263
00:17:06,260 --> 00:17:07,352
- Welcome.
- Okay.
264
00:17:13,868 --> 00:17:15,460
I'll be a newcomer every day.
265
00:17:17,438 --> 00:17:21,272
It's customary to introduce yourself.
First name only.
266
00:17:21,442 --> 00:17:23,774
- Patrick.
- Hi, Patrick.
267
00:17:23,944 --> 00:17:25,241
Hi, folks.
268
00:17:25,413 --> 00:17:29,144
Anybody who can sponsor Patrick,
please raise your hand.
269
00:17:29,617 --> 00:17:30,845
Would you?
270
00:17:31,018 --> 00:17:32,645
Uh, heh.
271
00:17:32,820 --> 00:17:36,654
Sure. Sure. Um....
Of course, I'd be happy to.
272
00:17:37,158 --> 00:17:38,489
Thank you.
273
00:17:38,659 --> 00:17:40,490
Would you like to share, Patrick?
274
00:17:41,695 --> 00:17:43,287
Uh....
275
00:17:43,464 --> 00:17:46,297
Uh, no, I'm not ready to share.
Not yet, thanks.
276
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:49,168
Well, nobody will think less of you
if you don't...
277
00:17:49,336 --> 00:17:52,134
...but you won't find
a more supportive group than we are.
278
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:59,040
We all find relief in sharing our
daily struggle with addiction.
279
00:17:59,213 --> 00:18:01,841
Well, to be perfectly honest,
I'm not an addict.
280
00:18:04,351 --> 00:18:06,410
I, um....
281
00:18:06,954 --> 00:18:08,922
Well, that's....
282
00:18:12,059 --> 00:18:15,517
That's not strictly true.
I do have an addiction.
283
00:18:15,696 --> 00:18:17,459
Go on.
284
00:18:18,032 --> 00:18:19,966
You're safe here.
285
00:18:20,935 --> 00:18:25,031
It, um, destroyed my family.
286
00:18:27,241 --> 00:18:30,870
I can't talk about it.
I mean, it's not that I don't want to.
287
00:18:31,045 --> 00:18:36,506
I have so many bad things in my head
that I'd like to throw out, I just....
288
00:18:41,555 --> 00:18:44,649
If I start talking about it--
289
00:18:54,335 --> 00:18:56,667
I just don't know
that I'd be able to stop.
290
00:18:58,973 --> 00:19:00,497
Excuse me.
291
00:19:05,546 --> 00:19:07,741
Anybody else wanna share?
292
00:19:11,252 --> 00:19:12,947
What are you doing here?
293
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,179
Watching you.
294
00:19:17,024 --> 00:19:19,117
You have substance-abuse issues,
Patrick?
295
00:19:19,293 --> 00:19:21,454
There's no tag for that in your files.
296
00:19:21,629 --> 00:19:23,927
I'm on a case.
297
00:19:24,365 --> 00:19:28,597
You telling me those words back there,
they weren't real? You're sweating.
298
00:19:28,769 --> 00:19:30,430
Simple parlor trick.
299
00:19:30,604 --> 00:19:32,765
With biofeedback,
you can train your mind...
300
00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:37,934
...to control involuntary body processes:
Heart rate, blood pressure, temperature.
301
00:19:38,112 --> 00:19:41,445
- I'm glad you enjoyed the performance.
- So you're working undercover.
302
00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:43,947
Which you just blew for me.
Thank you very much.
303
00:19:44,118 --> 00:19:45,745
Yeah, well, I doubt that.
304
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,787
Up to the moment you left,
you had them transfixed.
305
00:19:51,292 --> 00:19:53,226
What's that like...
306
00:19:53,394 --> 00:19:55,885
...such power over people?
307
00:19:56,063 --> 00:19:57,553
You tell me.
308
00:19:57,731 --> 00:20:03,135
I expect this RoboCop routine of yours
normally works quite effectively.
309
00:20:04,505 --> 00:20:06,405
Normally.
310
00:20:06,974 --> 00:20:11,035
You seem immune,
so I may have to step up my efforts.
311
00:20:12,613 --> 00:20:16,447
Or we could go back to CBI right now
and conduct the interview you owe me.
312
00:20:17,151 --> 00:20:19,176
Patrick? Everything okay?
313
00:20:19,353 --> 00:20:23,551
Yeah, I was just getting some air.
I'll come back in now.
314
00:20:24,758 --> 00:20:26,385
Whoo!
315
00:20:33,701 --> 00:20:36,101
How was Ripple's AA group?
Did you learn anything?
316
00:20:36,270 --> 00:20:38,431
Yes, they're very big on hugs.
317
00:20:38,606 --> 00:20:41,268
- About the victim.
- I'll learn more tomorrow...
318
00:20:41,442 --> 00:20:44,969
...when I speak with his sponsor
who is now my sponsor too.
319
00:20:45,145 --> 00:20:47,841
May Walters. Lovely lady. Or a killer.
I can't tell.
320
00:20:48,015 --> 00:20:49,710
You went undercover.
321
00:20:49,883 --> 00:20:52,010
Yes. Why is that so hard to accept?
322
00:20:52,186 --> 00:20:54,347
- You never go undercover.
- Precisely.
323
00:20:54,521 --> 00:20:56,853
I wanted to have some fun,
just like you guys seem to.
324
00:20:58,225 --> 00:20:59,351
Anything on the other Santas?
325
00:20:59,526 --> 00:21:03,326
Santa Bob has motive.
I'm running down his alibi.
326
00:21:03,497 --> 00:21:05,795
They did give us a new lead.
327
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,831
Hello, Roxy Rhodes.
328
00:21:08,002 --> 00:21:09,401
Real name Roxanne Rabinovich.
329
00:21:09,603 --> 00:21:11,867
No record,
she works in an elite escort service.
330
00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:13,836
Spent an evening with the victim
night before he died.
331
00:21:14,008 --> 00:21:16,841
- Ooh, Santa got some naughty this year.
- Yeah.
332
00:21:17,011 --> 00:21:18,876
- Bring her in.
- I can question her.
333
00:21:19,046 --> 00:21:20,980
- It's my lead.
- Just offering to help.
334
00:21:21,482 --> 00:21:23,473
- All right.
- We have a situation.
335
00:21:23,684 --> 00:21:25,743
Someone broke into
Ripple's apartment.
336
00:21:29,023 --> 00:21:32,584
Two hours after we cleared the crime
scene, we get a call from a neighbor.
337
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,524
Says she hears a lot of crashing
inside the apartment.
338
00:21:35,829 --> 00:21:38,491
Looks like they were looking
for something.
339
00:21:39,433 --> 00:21:41,367
- Any signs of forced entry?
- None.
340
00:21:41,535 --> 00:21:42,934
We think somebody had a key.
341
00:21:43,170 --> 00:21:45,832
Must have been one of the elves. Heh.
342
00:21:50,277 --> 00:21:51,835
Do you know this man?
343
00:21:52,012 --> 00:21:54,139
Sure. Benjamin.
344
00:21:54,315 --> 00:21:56,647
- We hung out.
- He was murdered two days ago.
345
00:21:59,687 --> 00:22:03,179
- Okay.
- You don't seem very broken up.
346
00:22:03,390 --> 00:22:07,827
Why should I be? I don't marry them.
I just provide a standard GFE.
347
00:22:07,995 --> 00:22:10,088
- GFE?
- Girlfriend experience.
348
00:22:11,699 --> 00:22:13,963
I'm paid to show up
and act like I like them.
349
00:22:14,134 --> 00:22:16,432
I don't get emotionally involved
with clients.
350
00:22:16,970 --> 00:22:18,801
That way madness lies, you know?
351
00:22:18,972 --> 00:22:21,463
- And Ripple was a client.
- No.
352
00:22:21,642 --> 00:22:23,701
You were his date
at the Santa convention.
353
00:22:23,911 --> 00:22:25,640
I was paid by someone else.
354
00:22:25,813 --> 00:22:26,939
And how's that work?
355
00:22:27,114 --> 00:22:31,813
I'm paid to attend AA meetings and
recovery groups and recruit patients.
356
00:22:31,985 --> 00:22:35,443
- Patients for what?
- This man, Jack Wilder.
357
00:22:35,989 --> 00:22:40,119
He owns a treatment facility
for alcohol addiction. Very exclusive.
358
00:22:40,294 --> 00:22:43,730
- Only the financially secure can afford it.
- Let me get this straight.
359
00:22:43,931 --> 00:22:47,298
Wilder hires you to cruise AA meetings
looking for rich drunks?
360
00:22:47,468 --> 00:22:48,799
I meet them, chat them up...
361
00:22:48,969 --> 00:22:52,803
...and tell them about this miraculous
treatment facility that changed my life.
362
00:22:52,973 --> 00:22:54,440
You underwent the treatment.
363
00:22:55,008 --> 00:22:58,808
No. Tequila's my dear friend.
364
00:22:58,979 --> 00:23:01,573
But that doesn't mean
the center didn't change my life.
365
00:23:01,749 --> 00:23:03,546
You should see my new Jaguar.
366
00:23:05,085 --> 00:23:08,384
No doubt.
You have an address for Wilder?
367
00:23:08,555 --> 00:23:11,581
You were very brave yesterday,
sharing like that.
368
00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:15,991
Meh. You were in love with Benjamin,
weren't you?
369
00:23:16,997 --> 00:23:20,228
That's why the program doesn't
encourage opposite-sex sponsors.
370
00:23:20,401 --> 00:23:23,268
But he didn't return the feelings.
371
00:23:23,604 --> 00:23:27,665
I think he did, in his own way.
372
00:23:28,342 --> 00:23:30,936
But Benjamin had his priorities.
373
00:23:31,111 --> 00:23:36,549
The red suit. I imagine that left you
feeling ignored, alone, angry.
374
00:23:36,717 --> 00:23:39,584
- Got that right.
- Angry enough to destroy his home?
375
00:23:41,922 --> 00:23:43,014
Who are you?
376
00:23:43,190 --> 00:23:46,682
I'm a consultant for the CBI.
We're investigating Benjamin's murder.
377
00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:48,293
You lied about your addiction?
378
00:23:48,495 --> 00:23:51,259
No, that's real enough, I suppose.
379
00:23:51,432 --> 00:23:53,593
Where were you
the night Benjamin was killed?
380
00:23:53,767 --> 00:23:55,632
Alone in my apartment.
381
00:23:55,803 --> 00:23:58,465
May, they're gonna treat you
like a suspect.
382
00:23:58,639 --> 00:24:00,197
You destroyed their crime scene.
383
00:24:00,774 --> 00:24:02,435
I went there to find something.
384
00:24:03,544 --> 00:24:06,274
You know, to remember Benjamin by.
385
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,247
When I saw the decorations, I got mad.
386
00:24:10,651 --> 00:24:15,918
Santa was another form of addiction
for Benjamin.
387
00:24:16,089 --> 00:24:19,286
Anytime anything cuts you off
from experiencing your life...
388
00:24:19,460 --> 00:24:21,018
...it's unhealthy, right?
389
00:24:21,395 --> 00:24:22,453
Wouldn't know.
390
00:24:22,629 --> 00:24:28,761
Last week, for the first time in 10 years,
he took a shot of vodka.
391
00:24:29,970 --> 00:24:32,131
It crushed both of us.
392
00:24:34,842 --> 00:24:38,039
Is this what you were looking for
in Benjamin's apartment?
393
00:24:45,152 --> 00:24:47,916
Best 10 years of my life.
394
00:24:58,065 --> 00:25:01,330
Jack Wilder, behavioral therapist.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
395
00:25:01,502 --> 00:25:03,800
Agent Lisbon. Van Pelt.
We're with the CBI.
396
00:25:03,971 --> 00:25:07,668
We came to see if Benjamin Ripple
was a patient here.
397
00:25:08,108 --> 00:25:11,339
Uh, you know what?
Let's talk about this in my office.
398
00:25:12,779 --> 00:25:18,217
This is a licensed medical facility, ladies.
My client list is privileged.
399
00:25:18,385 --> 00:25:21,479
- Are you a doctor?
- Heh. Technically no, but I do have--
400
00:25:21,655 --> 00:25:24,215
This is a homicide investigation
and you're a suspect.
401
00:25:24,391 --> 00:25:27,554
- There is no privilege here.
- Homicide?
402
00:25:27,728 --> 00:25:28,990
Benjamin's dead?
403
00:25:29,162 --> 00:25:31,722
With enough alcohol in his system
to kill an elephant.
404
00:25:31,899 --> 00:25:36,029
A girl from an escort service says you
paid her to steer Benjamin to your clinic.
405
00:25:36,203 --> 00:25:39,366
Impossible. My clients would never
drink so soon after treatment.
406
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:41,201
- When did he die?
- Two nights ago.
407
00:25:41,375 --> 00:25:43,138
When did you treat him?
408
00:25:45,112 --> 00:25:47,205
Two nights ago.
409
00:25:49,249 --> 00:25:51,809
Aversion therapy can be used
to treat any bad habit.
410
00:25:51,985 --> 00:25:57,924
Um, smoking, alcoholism, gambling,
violence, sexual deviancy.
411
00:25:58,492 --> 00:26:01,928
My methods are based on
classical conditioning techniques.
412
00:26:02,129 --> 00:26:03,653
Please.
413
00:26:04,998 --> 00:26:09,196
I can turn the pleasurable activity
of drinking into a repulsive one...
414
00:26:09,369 --> 00:26:12,998
...by pairing it with noxious smells,
nausea-inducing medication...
415
00:26:13,173 --> 00:26:14,333
...low-grade electric shock.
416
00:26:15,709 --> 00:26:20,737
Of course, I record all my sessions on
a hard drive for insurance reasons, so....
417
00:26:21,315 --> 00:26:23,681
Uh.... Ah. Here we go.
418
00:26:23,850 --> 00:26:26,216
He's blowing 0.20.
419
00:26:26,386 --> 00:26:29,446
- 150/90. We should stop now.
- He's okay.
420
00:26:29,656 --> 00:26:31,453
Who is that nurse there?
421
00:26:31,625 --> 00:26:35,356
Uh, Lailah Bloom. Registered nurse,
10 years ER experience behind her.
422
00:26:35,596 --> 00:26:37,860
She monitors my patients
every step of the way.
423
00:26:38,031 --> 00:26:40,397
We have very strict safety protocols.
424
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:43,536
- How you feeling, Benjamin?
- Beautiful.
425
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:46,534
A little sleepy.
426
00:26:46,707 --> 00:26:48,197
- I love this guy.
- Ha, ha.
427
00:26:48,775 --> 00:26:51,403
All right,
you can turn the camera off now.
428
00:26:51,578 --> 00:26:53,671
Let's get you home.
429
00:26:55,482 --> 00:26:57,313
As you can see, he was perfectly fine.
430
00:26:57,484 --> 00:27:00,248
After treatment,
I drove Benjamin back to his apartment.
431
00:27:00,420 --> 00:27:02,581
You were in his home
the night he was killed.
432
00:27:02,756 --> 00:27:05,816
I make sure
all my patients get home safely.
433
00:27:08,095 --> 00:27:11,826
What I offer here
is a very personal hands-on therapy.
434
00:27:11,999 --> 00:27:14,229
It's the only way
to make effective change.
435
00:27:14,401 --> 00:27:17,837
That and call girls. It's an interesting
way to drum up business.
436
00:27:18,005 --> 00:27:20,940
What you see as a call girl,
I see as a marketing expert...
437
00:27:21,108 --> 00:27:25,067
...with keen insights into the needs
and desires of my clientele.
438
00:27:25,245 --> 00:27:27,236
I focus on highly driven professionals.
439
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:35,413
- Give us a few minutes.
- Sorry.
440
00:27:36,423 --> 00:27:39,756
Men like Benjamin have more to lose
if they can't control their urges.
441
00:27:39,926 --> 00:27:43,293
Before you trash my methods,
talk to my patients.
442
00:27:43,463 --> 00:27:47,456
My success rate is higher than
any alcohol treatment center in the state.
443
00:27:48,135 --> 00:27:50,660
Excuse me, I need to make a call.
444
00:27:50,837 --> 00:27:52,737
And I'd like to see that entire video.
445
00:27:59,112 --> 00:28:01,478
Lailah, right? You okay?
446
00:28:01,648 --> 00:28:03,616
Fine.
447
00:28:05,018 --> 00:28:08,283
No, you're not. Talk to me.
448
00:28:11,491 --> 00:28:15,825
Did Mr. Wilder tell you what happened
after I turned off the camera?
449
00:28:18,165 --> 00:28:19,530
Benjamin passed out.
450
00:28:21,034 --> 00:28:22,296
His breathing was shallow.
451
00:28:22,469 --> 00:28:24,801
- His temperature dropping.
- Alcohol poisoning?
452
00:28:24,971 --> 00:28:31,843
Yes. I told Mr. Wilder we should get
Benjamin to a doctor, a medical doctor...
453
00:28:32,012 --> 00:28:35,379
...but he said he had it under control.
Then they left.
454
00:28:35,549 --> 00:28:38,814
Has anything like that
ever happened here before?
455
00:28:40,153 --> 00:28:44,055
Look, I think Mr. Wilder is a great man,
okay?
456
00:28:44,224 --> 00:28:45,885
I grew up with alcoholic parents...
457
00:28:46,059 --> 00:28:49,551
...so I'm a big believer
in pushing limits to find a cure.
458
00:28:50,297 --> 00:28:52,356
But now...
459
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:54,061
...I don't know.
460
00:28:54,701 --> 00:28:56,669
Thanks for talking to me.
461
00:28:59,005 --> 00:29:01,769
Lailah said Ripple was showing signs
of alcohol poisoning.
462
00:29:01,942 --> 00:29:05,241
The coroner told me that's consistent
with what he found at autopsy.
463
00:29:05,412 --> 00:29:08,210
Jack Wilder drives Ripple home,
maybe Ripple passes out...
464
00:29:08,381 --> 00:29:12,613
...Wilder can't revive him, so he stages
a suicide rather than risk losing it all.
465
00:29:12,819 --> 00:29:15,253
- Only one problem.
- The evidence is circumstantial.
466
00:29:15,422 --> 00:29:18,357
All of it. I don't think we have
enough for a search warrant.
467
00:29:18,525 --> 00:29:21,517
What kind of character witness
do you think Lailah would make?
468
00:29:21,695 --> 00:29:25,096
She does feel loyalty for Wilder.
I checked her employment history.
469
00:29:25,265 --> 00:29:30,202
She left a $70,000 job at Sacramento
General two months ago to work for him.
470
00:29:30,370 --> 00:29:32,804
On the other hand,
both her parents were alcoholic.
471
00:29:32,973 --> 00:29:35,066
I think that's where
her real sympathy lies.
472
00:29:35,242 --> 00:29:38,109
Her parents "were" alcoholic?
473
00:29:38,979 --> 00:29:42,608
Her mom died in a car crash,
she was drunk.
474
00:29:42,783 --> 00:29:46,583
Cirrhosis of the liver took her dad.
Also alcohol related.
475
00:29:46,753 --> 00:29:51,417
Chance has thrust our way
a very sordid and vexing problem...
476
00:29:52,459 --> 00:29:53,983
...but have no fear.
477
00:29:55,095 --> 00:29:59,589
- We don't.
- I do. What's your plan?
478
00:30:05,973 --> 00:30:10,410
Thank you for, uh, fitting me in.
Our corporate retreat is in two days.
479
00:30:10,578 --> 00:30:13,206
That's why it's crucial
to get started now.
480
00:30:13,614 --> 00:30:17,948
- Sure you've had nothing to eat today?
- No, no, no. I'm too stressed to eat.
481
00:30:18,119 --> 00:30:19,609
They say it's a rafting trip...
482
00:30:19,787 --> 00:30:23,848
...it's really just an excuse
to drink like Germans for a weekend.
483
00:30:25,259 --> 00:30:27,284
I can't afford to slip.
I'm up for CEO.
484
00:30:27,862 --> 00:30:30,490
Don't worry, Patrick.
All behavior is learned.
485
00:30:30,665 --> 00:30:34,761
And with my help, soon your
unwanted behavior will be unlearned.
486
00:30:35,403 --> 00:30:37,496
- Now, I want you to take this dial...
- Mm-hm.
487
00:30:37,672 --> 00:30:41,938
...and select a level of current
that's uncomfortable but not painful.
488
00:30:47,114 --> 00:30:48,274
Tickles.
489
00:30:48,549 --> 00:30:50,744
Ooh, okay. Touchy.
490
00:30:50,918 --> 00:30:54,649
Tonight, we are gonna
take the fun out of drinking for you.
491
00:30:57,291 --> 00:30:59,759
Lailah, pour the man some whiskey.
492
00:31:04,131 --> 00:31:05,826
Bottoms up.
493
00:31:14,809 --> 00:31:16,777
Oh, I felt that.
494
00:31:18,179 --> 00:31:19,544
I did feel that.
495
00:31:19,714 --> 00:31:22,945
Our goal is to associate alcohol
and all of its social rituals...
496
00:31:23,117 --> 00:31:26,712
...with the unpleasant sensation
of electricity running through your body.
497
00:31:27,722 --> 00:31:29,519
Okay.
498
00:31:46,674 --> 00:31:48,073
Good, good.
499
00:31:48,242 --> 00:31:49,504
Taxi.
500
00:31:49,677 --> 00:31:51,645
How you feeling, Patrick?
501
00:31:51,812 --> 00:31:54,747
Lailah, I'm probably not gonna
remember much about tonight...
502
00:31:54,949 --> 00:31:58,942
...so let's just take a moment to
remember this moment forever together.
503
00:31:59,987 --> 00:32:02,854
You have brown eyes
and you're wearing earrings.
504
00:32:03,024 --> 00:32:05,151
I'll never forget that.
505
00:32:05,326 --> 00:32:06,816
- Time to raise the current.
- Really?
506
00:32:08,596 --> 00:32:12,555
These restraints will make sure you don't
accidentally dislodge your electrodes.
507
00:32:12,733 --> 00:32:16,396
We don't wanna dislodge any electrodes,
do we, doc?
508
00:32:16,570 --> 00:32:18,504
- Ready for the next one?
- Uh....
509
00:32:18,673 --> 00:32:21,107
Here's to sobriety.
510
00:32:35,222 --> 00:32:37,417
This is the last one.
511
00:32:37,858 --> 00:32:40,088
Are you okay?
512
00:32:40,261 --> 00:32:43,355
He's fine, Lailah.
He's just a little tipsy.
513
00:32:43,531 --> 00:32:48,195
This is the most important one.
Please continue.
514
00:33:01,315 --> 00:33:02,407
Aw.
515
00:33:05,386 --> 00:33:11,382
I feel like I can move,
if the air doesn't stop me.
516
00:33:14,161 --> 00:33:15,822
His eyes are pretty red.
517
00:33:16,030 --> 00:33:18,123
Yours are glazed.
You been eating donuts?
518
00:33:18,566 --> 00:33:21,399
The patient's blood
pressure is too low. Something's wrong.
519
00:33:21,569 --> 00:33:25,300
No, it's okay,
you set me free of all my pain.
520
00:33:25,473 --> 00:33:26,997
Irregular heartbeat. Skin's ice.
521
00:33:27,174 --> 00:33:29,267
Impossible.
I calculated his body weight.
522
00:33:29,443 --> 00:33:32,742
This man will go into cardiac arrest
without emergency medical care.
523
00:33:32,913 --> 00:33:34,540
Go call 911. Go.
524
00:33:41,756 --> 00:33:45,783
I'll set you free. Forever.
525
00:33:56,370 --> 00:33:57,632
Gotcha.
526
00:33:57,805 --> 00:33:59,136
Oh, little head spin there.
527
00:34:00,141 --> 00:34:03,008
You can't be conscious. Your vitals....
528
00:34:03,177 --> 00:34:07,978
Little biofeedback trick.
Well, not so little when you're drunk.
529
00:34:08,682 --> 00:34:11,480
Cat's in the bag, come on in.
530
00:34:11,652 --> 00:34:14,348
- What are you talking about?
- I'm a cop.
531
00:34:14,522 --> 00:34:19,221
Well, cop adjacent.
This place is surrounded.
532
00:34:23,130 --> 00:34:25,462
There's a complex sound transmitter.
533
00:34:25,633 --> 00:34:29,399
Surveillance van out the front
full of people with large guns.
534
00:34:29,603 --> 00:34:31,696
You are in trouble.
535
00:34:35,309 --> 00:34:36,708
You're lying.
536
00:34:37,812 --> 00:34:43,216
Let me guess, 190-proof alcohol,
the same gut-rot you shot into Ripple.
537
00:34:43,384 --> 00:34:45,716
The good doctor here
thinks you're an angel.
538
00:34:45,886 --> 00:34:47,478
I am an angel.
539
00:34:47,655 --> 00:34:49,623
Yeah, an angel of death.
540
00:34:51,425 --> 00:34:55,418
You know, I had a hunch
as soon as I found out about your pants.
541
00:34:56,997 --> 00:34:59,227
Pardon me, "your parents."
542
00:35:00,668 --> 00:35:05,537
- You've experienced a lot of pain.
- Alcohol causes pain. Loneliness.
543
00:35:05,706 --> 00:35:09,233
It was you that overdosed Ripple,
it wasn't Wilder.
544
00:35:09,410 --> 00:35:12,607
He left and you went in. How did you
get into Benjamin's apartment?
545
00:35:12,780 --> 00:35:16,147
When Benjamin was drunk, he
mentioned where he kept his spare key.
546
00:35:17,785 --> 00:35:21,152
Poor thing
was hurting so badly inside.
547
00:35:23,023 --> 00:35:25,617
- Benjamin, wake up. It's important.
- Hmm?
548
00:35:25,793 --> 00:35:29,251
There are children outside.
They wanna see Santa.
549
00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:32,831
I can't let the children down. I won't.
550
00:35:38,806 --> 00:35:40,239
I'm not feeling so good.
551
00:35:40,407 --> 00:35:42,034
All you gotta do is wave at them.
552
00:35:42,209 --> 00:35:44,177
- Okay.
- You see them down there?
553
00:35:44,545 --> 00:35:47,241
Maybe if you lean a little further.
554
00:35:47,448 --> 00:35:50,042
- Oh.
- You see them?
555
00:35:57,258 --> 00:35:59,089
Do you know
the one part of the body...
556
00:35:59,260 --> 00:36:03,424
...that coroners rarely inspect
for needle marks?
557
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:07,767
Inside the navel.
558
00:36:08,569 --> 00:36:10,935
Oh. Oh.
559
00:36:11,105 --> 00:36:13,903
Uh, cat's in the bag
and the bag's almost in the river.
560
00:36:14,074 --> 00:36:19,137
If I end your suffering now,
Jack will be blamed for both deaths.
561
00:36:19,313 --> 00:36:21,975
And let's face it,
Jack needs to be stopped.
562
00:36:22,149 --> 00:36:23,844
He's a little crazy.
563
00:36:25,152 --> 00:36:26,176
Ah, ah.
564
00:36:26,820 --> 00:36:27,980
Drop the needle!
565
00:36:28,155 --> 00:36:29,622
Put it down now!
566
00:36:31,792 --> 00:36:35,125
I'm sorry, we didn't mean
to cut it this close. This place is a maze.
567
00:36:35,296 --> 00:36:36,854
Turn around.
568
00:36:37,932 --> 00:36:41,959
- Are you all right?
- Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little home.
569
00:36:42,136 --> 00:36:44,502
Would you take me drunk?
570
00:36:46,774 --> 00:36:49,174
- Mr. LaRoche.
- What's going on here?
571
00:36:49,343 --> 00:36:52,437
I've come to question Jane
about the murder of Todd Johnson.
572
00:36:52,613 --> 00:36:54,604
Unless he answers my questions...
573
00:36:54,782 --> 00:36:58,548
...his status as a CBI consultant
will fall under immediate review.
574
00:36:58,752 --> 00:37:00,379
No more waiting. No more ducking.
575
00:37:00,554 --> 00:37:02,647
No, you don't. Not now, no.
576
00:37:02,823 --> 00:37:05,724
No, it's all right Lisbon,
I got this one. I got it.
577
00:37:05,893 --> 00:37:08,953
Come on. Fire away.
578
00:37:10,464 --> 00:37:12,659
- I got it.
- Okay.
579
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:29,981
Agent Lisbon states that
before Todd Johnson was set on fire...
580
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:36,248
...he indicated to her that he had a secret
he wanted to tell you and you alone.
581
00:37:36,423 --> 00:37:39,051
We all have secrets.
582
00:37:39,326 --> 00:37:43,353
Most of them are quite unremarkable
once revealed.
583
00:37:45,366 --> 00:37:47,596
What's your secret, Mr. LaRoche?
584
00:37:48,369 --> 00:37:49,802
"LaRoche."
585
00:37:50,304 --> 00:37:51,999
Pardon me.
586
00:37:52,172 --> 00:37:54,333
I have no secrets.
587
00:37:54,508 --> 00:37:55,941
None?
588
00:37:59,413 --> 00:38:04,510
You have a very keen
speculative mind.
589
00:38:05,185 --> 00:38:07,415
You flatter me.
590
00:38:09,323 --> 00:38:12,053
What do you think
Johnson wanted to tell you?
591
00:38:12,226 --> 00:38:15,389
What was his secret? Your best guess.
592
00:38:15,562 --> 00:38:18,690
Best guess. Uh, same sad old story.
593
00:38:20,267 --> 00:38:23,202
Just wanted to explain himself.
594
00:38:23,871 --> 00:38:27,534
Wanted to show someone
that he was human.
595
00:38:28,342 --> 00:38:33,245
He was just a lonely soul
trying to get by, like you or me.
596
00:38:34,214 --> 00:38:36,114
Why did he have to tell you this?
597
00:38:36,283 --> 00:38:39,548
Because he's a cop killer
in a cop house...
598
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:44,453
...full of cop hens and cop chickens.
Ha-ha-ha.
599
00:38:44,625 --> 00:38:46,217
That's very amusing.
600
00:38:46,393 --> 00:38:48,418
And I'm not a cop. Heh.
601
00:38:48,595 --> 00:38:53,055
But you would be very surprised
how unsympathetic policemen can be.
602
00:38:53,233 --> 00:38:54,291
And women.
603
00:38:56,370 --> 00:38:57,769
Hm.
604
00:39:00,574 --> 00:39:02,303
- Thank you.
- Oh, no, thank you.
605
00:39:03,477 --> 00:39:05,069
That was fun.
606
00:39:05,245 --> 00:39:07,406
We'll be in touch.
607
00:39:09,083 --> 00:39:11,643
Oh, if you care to share...
608
00:39:11,819 --> 00:39:15,778
...any of the developments on the case
with me, then I won't tell anyone.
609
00:39:16,490 --> 00:39:20,256
- Why would you wanna know?
- I love a mystery.
610
00:39:21,729 --> 00:39:23,162
It's one of my failings.
611
00:39:36,810 --> 00:39:40,268
- Patrick.
- Ah. Virgil.
612
00:39:40,447 --> 00:39:42,915
Meet May. May, this is Virgil.
613
00:39:44,318 --> 00:39:46,445
- Hello, May.
- Hi.
614
00:39:48,822 --> 00:39:50,619
Uh.... Oh, and, um....
615
00:39:50,791 --> 00:39:52,725
- A moment alone please, Jane.
- Mm.
616
00:39:52,926 --> 00:39:54,655
- If you'll excuse us.
- Sure.
617
00:39:56,864 --> 00:39:59,424
Excuse me, a little parched.
618
00:40:00,634 --> 00:40:02,465
Thanks for meeting me here.
619
00:40:02,636 --> 00:40:05,571
You look terrible.
What did you do last night?
620
00:40:05,739 --> 00:40:07,138
It's all a little gauzy.
621
00:40:07,307 --> 00:40:10,572
I hope you don't mind,
I brought May along.
622
00:40:10,744 --> 00:40:15,010
- Uh, no. What's her story?
- Oh, come on. Ask her yourself.
623
00:40:16,383 --> 00:40:19,477
Listen,
I'd like to convey my gratitude.
624
00:40:19,653 --> 00:40:21,143
Easy, cowboy. You just met her.
625
00:40:21,321 --> 00:40:23,755
I'm not talking about that.
626
00:40:23,957 --> 00:40:26,585
What you said about that fish....
627
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:31,026
You opened my eyes to some ugly truths
that I'd been avoiding.
628
00:40:34,601 --> 00:40:36,262
LaRoche's suspect list.
629
00:40:36,470 --> 00:40:39,769
Secured through back channels
and personal favors.
630
00:40:40,274 --> 00:40:43,038
LaRoche has no idea I have it.
631
00:40:46,413 --> 00:40:47,778
Thank you.
632
00:40:51,518 --> 00:40:54,112
- You need anything else, let me know.
- I will. I have to go.
633
00:40:54,288 --> 00:40:57,849
Uh, could you do me a favor?
Could you extend my apologies to May?
634
00:40:58,025 --> 00:41:02,758
- Perhaps sit with her and have lunch.
- I can do that. I think.
635
00:41:05,432 --> 00:41:06,558
Any tips?
636
00:41:06,867 --> 00:41:09,859
Uh, yes. You might wanna consider
growing a beard.
