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