1

00:00:16,940 --> 00:00:20,630

I've instructed my client to remain silent.
2
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:31,660
He's not gonna talk.
3
00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:36,520
That's okay. That's okay. I don't
have much faith in words myself.
4
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:43,180
Statistically speaking, the average person
tells three lies per ten minutes' conversation.
5
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:46,330
And granted, it's just regular people.
6
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:49,390
We haven't studied people who are
planning to firebomb a black church.
7
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:51,220
Could skew differently.
8
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:54,130
We don't have time for this scientist to talk to the guy.
9
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:56,090
We went at him for four hours, got nothing.
10
00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:00,300
Now, the FBI knows you want mass casualties.
11
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:05,960
So right now ATF is searching every inch of
the two largest black churches in the state.
12
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:09,020
The FBI got it wrong.
13
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,680
Well, there's a shocker.
14
00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:13,030
It's not one of those two churches.

15
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:18,310
Maybe you want one of the smaller churches.
16
00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:20,310
One of the black suburbs.
You don't know what you're talking about.
17
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,620
Don't respond!
18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,020
What do you say ATF starts with Southbridge?
19
00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:31,680
No, I'm only kidding. We'll skip that one.
20
00:01:32,130 --> 00:01:35,250
We're gonna focus on Lorton.
21
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:38,100
You feel good about that?
22
00:01:38,110 --> 00:01:40,710
That's it! Lorton! Going after a church in Lorton.
23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,750
That accusation has no basis.
24
00:01:42,790 --> 00:01:45,860
What do you mean? He just told me.
25
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:52,480
The ATF found a pipe bomb in a church
basement in Lorton an hour later.
26
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,150
DOD friend of mine said this guy's a total nutjob.
27
00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:59,510
Heard he spent, like, three years in the African jungle
with some primitive tribe studying their eyebrows.
28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Watch his reaction to my statement.
29

00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,760

Right now, ATF is searching every inch of
the two largest black churches in the state.
30
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:08,800
Now what you just saw there was a brief
expression of happiness on his face
31
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,690
which he was trying his best to conceal.
32
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:13,480
It lasted for less than a fifth of a second.
33
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:15,960
It's what we call a "microexpression."
34
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:17,270
Now, look at his mouth.
35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,520
The suspect is secretly happy about
the locations we are searching,
36
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,240
which tells me we have the wrong locations.
37
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:25,980
Now I tell him of our new plan, and...
38
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:28,730
You don't know what you're talking about.
39
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:30,920
Classic one-sided shrug.
40
00:02:30,940 --> 00:02:33,600
Translation: "I've absolutely no confidence of what I just said."
41
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:37,690
The body contradts the words. He's lying. Yeah?
44
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,320
Now that's real surprise.
45
00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:51,260

Lasts for less than a second when it comes across your face,
46
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:57,310
but if your suspect is surprised for more
than a second, he's faking it. He's lying.
47
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,530
Now I call out his target is actually Lorton,
48
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:04,910
and watch it again.
49
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:08,110
Concealed scorn.
50
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,520
One personal tip. You see this micro
expression in your spouse's face,
51
00:03:11,530 --> 00:03:15,320
your marriage is coming to an end. Trust me.
52
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,730
Yeah?
53
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:19,590
Don't these microexpressions vary depending on the person?
54
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:20,720
Let's leave this up.
55
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:25,450
And we'll go to the Kato Kaelin footage from the OJ trial.
56
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:29,100
Mr. Kaelin, you got a lot of money for your
appearance on Current Affair, didn't you?
57
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:30,290
Um, yeah.
58
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:35,290
Scorn. Scorn. Huge scorn.
59
00:03:37,970 --> 00:03:41,630
Shame, shame, and shame.

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Contempt. These expressions are universal.
61
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,690
Emotion looks the same whether you're a
suburban housewife or a suicide bomber.
62
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:53,720
The truth is written on all our faces.
63
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:13,610
Just the man I was looking for. Today's the day. Say it.
64
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,880
You're the shrink. I'm not big on self-affirmation.
65
00:04:15,890 --> 00:04:19,880
I'm telling you we cannot wait
another day to hire someone.
66
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:23,550
I found the one. This is the one.
I...
67
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,220
Use your words.
68
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,390
Why do we need to hire someone?
69
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,320
We got a new request this morning
from the DEA and Homeland Security.
70
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:31,550
Someone from the Prime Minister's office in Uzbekistan called.
71
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:33,410
They want us to give a talk to their senior police.
72
00:04:33,420 --> 00:04:35,350
Tell him to call back when they got a constitution.
73
00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:38,260
A real one. Here's the analysis from the blinking experiment.

74
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:40,260
You just getting in, Loker?
75
00:04:40,270 --> 00:04:42,150
Yeah, I got piss-drunk last night with my roommate,
76
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,400
and I was just lying in bed this morning
thinking about how nasty hot Nancy Grace is,
77
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:49,710
and just trying to decide if I was gonna come in at all
78
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,100
'cause it's not like there's anyone here to fantasize about.
79
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,650
No offense taken.
80
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:56,060
I don't go for married women.
81
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,220
Cal, Cal...
82
00:05:01,230 --> 00:05:03,810
Dr. Lightman, I have the mayor on 2 for you.
83
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:05,800
All right.
84
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,990
Mr. Mayor.
85
00:05:10,030 --> 00:05:13,260
I see. Of course.
86
00:05:13,770 --> 00:05:15,650
Any time.
87
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:16,500
What is it?
88
00:05:16,510 --> 00:05:21,020

Some blowup at the Justice Department about a

high school teacher that was killed in Northwest.
89
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,470
He wants us in on it right away since...
What is that?
90
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,200
Chocolate pudding.
91
00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:27,900
Who eats pudding at 10:00 in the morning?
92
00:05:28,210 --> 00:05:30,620
People who like pudding.
93
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:38,400
The mayor thanks you and Dr. Foster for coming on short notice.
94
00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:40,610
This case is a land mine.
95
00:05:40,620 --> 00:05:44,080
We got a juvenile offender, family of devout Jehovah's Witnesses.
96
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:46,800
We gotta be real careful here.
97
00:05:46,810 --> 00:05:50,320
Three day ago, James Cole, 16-year-old student at Jackson High,
98
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:53,010
murdered his teacher, Susan McCartney.
99
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:58,490
After Mr. Cole got into Mrs. McCartney's house,
he smashed her head into a glass coffee table.
100
00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:02,080
He then was caught fleeing the house by two patrolmen.
101
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:05,830
Been in custody here ever since.
102
00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:16,470
So what exactly does the mayor want

to find out about the McCartney murder?

103
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,560
Assistant US Attorneys Hutchinson and Estin.
104
00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:22,580
The kid was at the scene of the crime; he
had motive, means; and he resisted arrest.
105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,770
And he failed a polygraph test.
It's murder one.
106
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:27,970
Well, I guess we're all here then: someone who wants the truth;
107
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,790
somebody who wants to be right;
and us, the idiots in the middle.
108
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,840
The US Attorney's office wants to try Cole as an adult.
109
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:38,660
But if the mayor is gonna support sending a
16-year-old to prison for the rest of his life,
110
00:06:38,690 --> 00:06:42,540
he wants to be certain we're talking
about a premeditated, cold-blooded murder.
111
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,100
He wants you to provide an independent assessment of intent.
112
00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:47,670
We'll need the crime scene photos and the autopsy report.
113
00:06:47,690 --> 00:06:50,600
I thought you could tell somebody
was lying just by looking at them.
114
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,680
The question is never simply if someone is lying; it's why.
115
00:06:56,630 --> 00:06:59,760
Look, I already told the police everything, okay?

116
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:02,790
Tell us why you think you're here, James.
117
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,510
I was out for a run, and the police
thought I was running from them.
118
00:07:07,530 --> 00:07:10,100
So they arrested me.
119
00:07:10,110 --> 00:07:12,770
I heard you made your school's track team.
120
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:15,100
I didn'tmakeit.
121
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,820
They don't have tryouts.
122
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:19,880
What was your best race this year?
123
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,310
I don't know. Um, probably against Jefferson last week. Why?
124
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,970
I ran hurdles myself. 110 meters.
125
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,310
How'd your quads feel during the race?
126
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:41,370
good, I guess.
127
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:44,810
And what about on your run the night you were arrested?
128
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,030
I felt fine.
129
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Your teacher Ms. McCartney was found dead in her home.
130
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:57,900
Have you ever been to her house before?

131
00:07:57,930 --> 00:08:00,390
No, I've never been to her house before.
132
00:08:00,430 --> 00:08:03,030
Ms.McCartney thought that you should be held back a year
133
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:06,970
because she felt you were having
some problems with your classmates.
134
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:10,600
What? I didn't want to get held back.
135
00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:13,360
How'd you feel when you found out she was dead?
136
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,120
I prayed for her soul.
137
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,660
I can't know God's plan, but I didn't kill her.
138
00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:44,550
Hurdles?
139
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,620
Could have run hurdles.
Please.
140
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:50,060
So you got a sense of his intent?
141
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:55,820
When I asked James about his best race, he broke eye
contact in order to remember and answer truthfully.
142
00:08:55,830 --> 00:08:59,120
And when I asked him about his run the night
of the murder, he never broke eye contact.
143
00:08:59,140 --> 00:09:02,630
He wasn't recalling a memory. He was lying.
144
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,090
But I thought most people avoid

eye contact when they're lying.

145
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,930
No, it's a myth.
146
00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:09,560
And quite often, they make more eye contact.
147
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,420
They need to watch, see if you believe their lies.
148
00:09:12,450 --> 00:09:16,120
The content analysis would suggest that James
has been to Ms. McCartney's house before.
149
00:09:16,130 --> 00:09:17,820
Question: "Have you ever been to her house?"
150
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,450
Answer: "No, I have never been to her house."
151
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,450
Rigid repetion like that is typical of a lie.
152
00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:25,410
Okay, so you'll tell the mayor's
office the murder was premeditated?
153
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,040
Looks that way.
154
00:09:27,070 --> 00:09:31,750
But when I asked him about his
teacher's death, what we saw was this:
155
00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:35,150
oblique eyebrows.
Sadness.
156
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:38,040
Why would he be hiding sadness for her?
157
00:09:38,050 --> 00:09:39,380
Looks like guilt to me.
158
00:09:39,390 --> 00:09:42,640

It's possible he didn't mean to kill his teacher.

159
00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:43,760
Excuse me?
160
00:09:43,790 --> 00:09:46,680
Could have been an accident.
Okay.
161
00:09:47,050 --> 00:09:49,560
Okay, I indulged the mayor's office in letting you talk to the kid,
162
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,720
but now you're just making wild guesses
that have no basis in hard evidence.
163
00:09:54,740 --> 00:09:56,460
This was no accident.
164
00:09:56,490 --> 00:09:59,350
And personally, I think what you do is a joke.
165
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:01,090
It's a friggin' carnival act.
166
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,630
Oh, yeah, yeah, I get that a lot.
167
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:08,880
You know, a moment ago, I saw you smile at your colleague,
168
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:11,280
flash her a glance, then shift your gaze.
169
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:15,080
She responded by raising her chin
boss, revealing deep embarrassment.
170
00:10:15,090 --> 00:10:16,030
Cal...?
171
00:10:16,070 --> 00:10:20,870
I'll take another wild guess: you two had a fling.
172
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:24,780
She doesn't want a repeat performance

because, you know, what with your wife and all.

173
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:26,740
But you won't move on.
174
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:29,190
Oh, no, no. Keep your fingers off your nose.
175
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,350
Men have erectile tissue there.
176
00:10:31,390 --> 00:10:34,050
Itches when they're hiding something.
177
00:10:46,590 --> 00:10:48,860
I've been principal here for over three years.
178
00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:50,980
We've never faced anything like this.
179
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,410
To lose a teacher and then to find out
that a student might have been responsible.
180
00:10:55,420 --> 00:10:57,500
I understand James was new to the school.
181
00:10:57,530 --> 00:10:59,630
Yes. His parents chose to home-school him until this year
182
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,260
because they're devout Jehovah's Witnesses.
183
00:11:02,290 --> 00:11:05,660
He was prepared academically, but he had real difficulties socially.
184
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,480
Did he ever express emotion of any kind towards Mrs. McCartney?
185
00:11:08,490 --> 00:11:12,520
He was sent to my office a number of times,
but he never mentioned her specifically.
186
00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:17,110
But I can tell you the boy's father had some
strong objections to Ms. McCartney's teaching.

187
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,450
He was outraged that she had assigned
the book The Color Purple to her students.
188
00:11:21,470 --> 00:11:23,610
Thought it was pornographic.
189
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,290
All right, they're ready for you.
190
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:29,300
But can I just say, uh...
191
00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:32,710
as much as we all mourn this loss no teacher that I've spoken to believes
192
00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:34,860
that this boy should go to prison for life.
193
00:11:34,890 --> 00:11:38,920
He was in the photography club for like five minutes before he quit.
194
00:11:38,930 --> 00:11:41,200
It seemed like he didn't talk ever.
195
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,200
He took really good photos, though.
196
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:46,780
I never saw him hang out with anybody. He's kind of intense.
197
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:49,660
Like the way he'd stare at you.
198
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,090
He talked a bunch of crap about Ms. McCartney.
199
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:54,560
Really? What did he say?
200
00:11:54,570 --> 00:11:58,370
Kid's a freak. I mean, I can't remember exactly, but...
201
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,870

I'm sure I heard him say something psycho about her.

202
00:12:01,890 --> 00:12:07,540
You wouldn't just be saying that because you
got suspended for hitting him in the face?
203
00:12:09,740 --> 00:12:12,410
I was in bio lab with him.
204
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:16,210
You know, I don't see how he could
have done what they're saying he did.
205
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,020
It's just... well, I don't believe it.
206
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:23,200
I mean, I've never even seen him get angry.
207
00:12:23,230 --> 00:12:26,060
Why would he want to kill her anyway?
208
00:12:33,490 --> 00:12:36,680
Are you feeling emotional in any way right now, Jacquelin?
209
00:12:37,150 --> 00:12:39,610
no.
210
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,150
It's okay if you are.
211
00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:43,530
I feel fine.
212
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:52,550
Deputy Bonds.
213
00:12:52,570 --> 00:12:54,590
And what did you learn in school today?
214
00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:58,810
57 classmates and not one credible account
of antecedent aggression from James.
215
00:12:58,830 --> 00:13:01,900
I need to see the case file and look at

the other suspects Homicide questioned.

216
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,400
But you don't think James Cole is guilty?
217
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:06,340
I don't know, but if the prosecutor
wants to send a kid my daughter's age
218
00:13:06,350 --> 00:13:10,400
to a cell block with pedophiles and serial
killers, I wouldn't mind knowing for sure.
219
00:13:10,410 --> 00:13:12,270
Whatever you need.
220
00:13:19,630 --> 00:13:20,940
All right.
221
00:13:20,950 --> 00:13:22,880
Forget it. We'll find another one.
222
00:13:22,890 --> 00:13:25,690
No. Maybe he didn't see me. Why don't you get out.
223
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,750
Just drive.
224
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:46,540
You didn't see me waiting for that space?
225
00:13:46,570 --> 00:13:48,780
Didn't see you.
Really?
226
00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:52,670
No, I did not see you.
I... I was waiting, too.
227
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,280
You must not have seen me.
228
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,590
That's fantastic. Classic gestural slip.
229
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,400

Got the slightest head nod "yes"

before you shook your head "no."
230
00:14:01,570 --> 00:14:03,850
Look, I'm in the space.
231
00:14:03,870 --> 00:14:05,430
And I'm not going anywhere.
232
00:14:05,450 --> 00:14:08,040
That's true.
233
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:14,980
You can't block me in like that! Sir?
234
00:14:15,290 --> 00:14:16,500
Congratulations.
235
00:14:16,510 --> 00:14:19,890
One liar down, six and a half billion to go.
236
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,430
The US attorney's office scheduled
the transfer hearing. We have two days.
237
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,500
I told the mayor's office we need to
examine James' antecedent behaviors,
238
00:14:36,530 --> 00:14:38,710
so we're set to meet with his parents and his church group.
239
00:14:38,730 --> 00:14:40,000
How you doing today, sir?
240
00:14:40,010 --> 00:14:41,010
I'm great.
241
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,950
Could you step out of the line, please?
242
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,650
Are you serious?
Yeah.
243
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:51,710

Any reason you might be anxious this morning, sir?

244
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,660
Only that I'll Miss my flight.
245
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,970
I need you to open your briefcase for me.
246
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:57,460
You know what? I'm going to check it.
247
00:14:57,470 --> 00:15:00,340
It's the liquids, right?
Stop. T-3B. backup, backup T-3B.
248
00:15:00,350 --> 00:15:03,060
Open your briefcase.
249
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,910
You're going to need to come with us.
250
00:15:13,250 --> 00:15:16,750
Actually, you need to come with us.
251
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,780
When you leaned out of line, I could
tell you were jacked up about something.
252
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:25,790
That's 'cause I flashed you a partial fear expression.
253
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Whatever. Why were you trying to play me?
254
00:15:30,460 --> 00:15:34,670
Six years ago, Dr. Lightman left the deception
detection program he founded for the Defense Department.
255
00:15:34,690 --> 00:15:37,550
Together we started a private firm
that works with police, corporations,
256
00:15:37,580 --> 00:15:40,250
and almost every federal agency.
257
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,270

We'd like you to come work for us, Ms. Torres.

258
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,270
Why?
259
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:46,190
You've made seven times more arrests than the average TSA agent,
260
00:15:46,220 --> 00:15:51,030
and you scored 97% on the TSA deception
diagnostic which Dr. Lightman created.
261
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:53,350
Have you ever had any specialized deception training?
262
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:55,930
I've dated a lot of men.
263
00:15:57,050 --> 00:15:58,370
You're one of the naturals.
264
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,060
There's in infinitesimal percentage
of the population, less than .001,
265
00:16:02,070 --> 00:16:05,010
that tests nearly perfect without any advanced traing.
266
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,960
We've already cleared your leaving
with the TSA field director.
267
00:16:07,970 --> 00:16:10,460
Our office will call you later.
268
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:16,070
Oh, and, uh, don't forget your briefcase.
269
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,050
That's your signing bonus.
270
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:27,140
I just had a long conversation with the school guidance counselor.
271
00:16:27,150 --> 00:16:30,720
The girl whose breathing you said was

fast and shallow... Jacquelin Mathis...

272
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,990
has had three appointments with the school nurse in the past two weeks.
273
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:37,920
Guidance counselor said typically that could be about drugs or an STD.
274
00:16:37,950 --> 00:16:42,790
You know, gonorrhea, clap, crabs, uh...
275
00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:45,870
Find out if Jacquelin had any connection
to James Cole outside of school.
276
00:16:45,890 --> 00:16:48,050
And follow up with the nurse.
Okay.
277
00:16:48,530 --> 00:16:51,590
Did the school principal seem tense to you?
278
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,390
Wouldn't you be if this happened at your school?
279
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,930
He had his left hand in his pants pocket
pressed against his leg the whole time.
280
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,000
We're not all hiding something.
281
00:16:59,030 --> 00:17:00,270
Okay.
282
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:03,310
You think I'm naive just because I don't
share your twisted view of the world.
283
00:17:03,330 --> 00:17:04,760
That and you read romance novels.
284
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:08,170
Yes, I do. Because they make me happy.
285
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:10,500

A pursuit I highly recommend to you.

286
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,040
Truth or happiness, never both.
287
00:17:14,270 --> 00:17:16,620
What is that now?
288
00:17:16,650 --> 00:17:17,730
Orange slushy.
289
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:19,910
How old are you?
290
00:17:19,930 --> 00:17:23,110
Chairman Baldridge from the Democratic
National Committee's on the phone.
291
00:17:23,130 --> 00:17:24,990
Some sort of crisis.
292
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Politician. That's all you.
293
00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:31,910
Charge him by the lie. You can retire tomorrow.
294
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,390
Why isn't Dr. Lightman here?
295
00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:35,220
Cal really wanted to make it.
296
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,410
He's a better liar than you are.
297
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,640
He's a better liar than all of us.
298
00:17:39,670 --> 00:17:41,450
I need your help, Gillian.
299
00:17:41,470 --> 00:17:45,750
Congressman Zeb Weil, whose career I've spent 20 years building,
300

00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,360

is about to be accused of paying for sex.
301
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:52,480
A friend at thePost gave me the tip, but I
need to know the truth before the story breaks.
302
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,740
You think it could be a smear job?
303
00:17:53,770 --> 00:17:59,310
I do, but allegedly, Congressman Weil frequents
some sort of high-priced escort service
304
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,960
at an underground club in Georgetown.
305
00:18:00,980 --> 00:18:05,050
Now if that's true, it's going to be a PR nightmare
306
00:18:05,070 --> 00:18:07,940
because he's the new Chairman of the House Ethics Committee.
307
00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:09,300
That's delightful.
308
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,160
But we don't go through people's dirty laundry.
309
00:18:11,170 --> 00:18:15,270
So Dr. Lightman just assumes you're a liar if you're a politician.
310
00:18:15,290 --> 00:18:17,990
He assumes you're a liar if you're a homo sapiens.
311
00:18:18,010 --> 00:18:24,340
If these allegations are false, are you going to
stand by while an innocent man is destroyed by lies?
312
00:18:32,330 --> 00:18:34,670
Thanks for coming in right away.
You're the boss.
313
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,450
I would like to sleep with you.
314

00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,460

Eli Loker, Ria Torres. He's harmless.
315
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:44,100
Just always speaks the truth about what's
on his mind. What do you call it again?
316
00:18:44,110 --> 00:18:45,370
Radical honesty.
317
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:48,840
That's it. Well, he'll get you started
on learning our facial coding system.
318
00:18:49,470 --> 00:18:52,000
I have no chance with you. No.
319
00:18:52,260 --> 00:18:54,260
Uh, do I have any chance with you?
320
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,950
You always tell the truth?
321
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,990
Always.
322
00:18:57,010 --> 00:19:00,010
How good are you in bed?
Fair.
323
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:02,760
Fair is better than most.
324
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:08,790
I don't see why you need to look at James' bedroom.
325
00:19:08,820 --> 00:19:12,770
Mr. Cole, anything that gives us a
better sense of your son is helpful.
326
00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:16,280
James took these?
327
00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:18,600
Yes, he did.
328

00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:27,760

We let him convert that bathroom
to a darkroom for his photography.
329
00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:30,820
Was that a problem?
330
00:19:30,830 --> 00:19:35,590
Well, it was taking too much time from his
responsibilities as a Witness doing God's work.
331
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,100
What did James tell you about Ms. McCartney?
332
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:40,580
He thought she was a good teacher.
333
00:19:41,650 --> 00:19:44,350
And did you?
334
00:19:45,130 --> 00:19:47,290
James did not kill that woman.
335
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,010
He would not take part in wrestling practice, gym class,
336
00:19:51,020 --> 00:19:54,220
because he knows the Lord condemns violence, even in sport.
337
00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:57,880
If you value something, you build a fence around it to protect it.
338
00:19:57,910 --> 00:19:59,200
And that's what we did with James.
339
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,820
We home-schooled him as long as we could to
shield him from drugs and sex and corruption.
340
00:20:04,850 --> 00:20:08,300
Is that why you were angry about
the material she was teaching him?
341
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:11,100
We are in the world, but not of the world.
342

00:20:11,130 --> 00:20:13,600

And we need to protect our children from nonbelievers.
343
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:16,980
Is there anything you wouldn't do to
protect your son from a nonbeliever?
344
00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:20,900
Watch yourself. I'm a man of God.
345
00:20:21,370 --> 00:20:27,000
Well, I like horse racing, Manhattans, briefs, not boxers,
346
00:20:27,650 --> 00:20:32,060
all of which makes us equally likely to lie, so I'll ask you again.
347
00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:35,140
Get out of this house.
348
00:20:41,850 --> 00:20:44,450
I've been doing some research into James' family.
349
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,970
I spoke to an overseer of their church
350
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:50,270
who said Mr. Cole has had fights with other
churchgoers over they unholy lifestyles.
351
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,420
Some of them said he was an extremist.
352
00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:54,710
Something going on in that family.
353
00:20:54,740 --> 00:20:58,620
The police saw James running away from the front
door of Ms. McCartney's house after the murder.
354
00:20:58,630 --> 00:21:00,690
Maybe he was trying to stop his father from killing her.
355
00:21:00,730 --> 00:21:02,630
What's your content analysis of the mother?
356
00:21:02,650 --> 00:21:04,460

She was definitely concealing something.

357
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,820
When I asked her about Ms.McCartney,
358
00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:09,300
she stopped using contractions and
started referring to her as "that woman."
359
00:21:09,330 --> 00:21:12,830
As in "I did not have sexual relations
with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky."
360
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,450
Distancing language.
361
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,350
She knew something about her. She didn't want to say.
362
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:18,140
We need to look at the polygraph test James failed.
363
00:21:18,170 --> 00:21:20,110
I want to see what questions he spiked on.
364
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:23,840
Have I mentioned that your office looks
like it belongs to a serial killer?
365
00:21:23,850 --> 00:21:25,720
Several times.
366
00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:27,620
PD is running background checks on both the parents
367
00:21:27,630 --> 00:21:30,290
and trying to confirm their whereabouts the night of the murder.
368
00:21:30,310 --> 00:21:33,210
As for the girl that was so anxious... Jacquelin Mathis,
369
00:21:33,220 --> 00:21:35,150
no connection to James Cole outside of school.
370
00:21:35,180 --> 00:21:37,470
But I do know why she might have been anxious.

371
00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:40,560
School nurse insinuated that Jacquelin is pregnant.
372
00:21:40,570 --> 00:21:42,020
Pregnant.
373
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:44,490
Not what a father in
my shoes wants to hear.
374
00:21:44,510 --> 00:21:46,010
I got to go.
375
00:21:46,030 --> 00:21:48,170
I have Emily, and her boyfriend's coming over.
376
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:51,450
You worry too much. You do.
You worry. You're a worrier.
377
00:21:51,460 --> 00:21:53,190
You don't even know if they talked about having sex.
378
00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:54,740
He's taking her to a fancy restaurant.
379
00:21:54,770 --> 00:21:56,630
Emily's a smart girl.
You have to trust her.
380
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,780
Her mother's a smart girl too, and I trusted her.
381
00:22:01,470 --> 00:22:05,360
Well, I think Roger's a loser, but
if Mom wants to be with a loser...
382
00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:06,650
You don't have to say that for me.
383
00:22:06,670 --> 00:22:09,620
I'm saying it 'cause he's a loser.
384
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,420
I have the utmost respect for anyone

your mother cares for, and so should you.

385
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,610
Admit it. You're thinking "what a
loser." I saw your eyes do the thing.
386
00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:22,770
Uh, Dan's early.
387
00:22:22,780 --> 00:22:27,670
Yeah, and about that... I know your mother's out
of town, you've got the keys, and Dan has a car.
388
00:22:27,690 --> 00:22:29,590
No, we're not doing this.
389
00:22:29,630 --> 00:22:31,860
You just go let Dan in while I finish getting ready,
390
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,540
and you better not do some covert
scientific technique to find out
391
00:22:35,550 --> 00:22:38,390
what we're doing or not doing tonight.
392
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,290
Promise.
393
00:22:44,210 --> 00:22:46,600
No covert science, I promise.
394
00:22:49,210 --> 00:22:51,540
Hi, Dan.
Hi, Dr. Lightman.
395
00:22:52,090 --> 00:22:55,170
Are you going to try and have
sex with my daughter tonight?
396
00:23:00,550 --> 00:23:02,330
We appreciate your time.
397
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:05,880
Congressman Weil, have you ever
been to a club called Centurion?

398
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Marshall, what is this really about?
399
00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:11,550
I'm a five-term US congressman. I'd appreciate if...
400
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,350
Answer the question, Zeb.
401
00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:16,900
I've never heard of it. Why?
402
00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:20,600
It's been alleged that you go to this club on Friday nights.
403
00:23:20,610 --> 00:23:23,320
Tell me how you spent last Friday evening.
404
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:26,420
I went for a swim at the congressional gym.
405
00:23:26,430 --> 00:23:29,860
Then I went home to catch up on some committee reading.
406
00:23:29,870 --> 00:23:32,040
Go on.
407
00:23:32,050 --> 00:23:35,590
I had dinner alone before leaving for an event at the Smithsonian.
408
00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:37,760
Got it. Now just tell it to me backwards.
409
00:23:37,770 --> 00:23:38,770
What?
410
00:23:38,790 --> 00:23:42,130
Start at the end of the night and work backwards.
411
00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:49,270
Before the event at the Smithsonian, I, uh...
412
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:52,400
well, as I told you, I did some reading.

413
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:55,260
And, uh...
414
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:59,440
before that, I, uh...
415
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,340
That guy's lying his ass off.
416
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:03,090
Yes, he is.
417
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,050
When you're lying, it's hard to tell a story backwards,
418
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,750
because there's no real memory of what happened.
419
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:08,410
Liars rehearse their stories in order.
420
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,320
They don't think to rehearse them backwards.
421
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:13,340
Have you ever engaged the services of a prostitute?
422
00:24:13,370 --> 00:24:16,920
I am certainly not going to dignify that with an answer.
423
00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:20,430
And that is an expression of deep shame.
424
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,510
This guy religious?
425
00:24:21,530 --> 00:24:24,450
That's what I don't understand.
Not religious, not married, no kids.
426
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:27,480
But he shows deeper shame than politicians
who've been caught cheating on their wives?
427
00:24:27,490 --> 00:24:30,640

Yeah, being the Ethics Chairman takes a lot

of the fun out of having sex with hookers.
428
00:24:30,660 --> 00:24:33,530
But seriously, what if he's into something a lot more shameful...
429
00:24:33,550 --> 00:24:36,780
smacking them around or underage girls?
430
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:43,170
I need to restore the expression I
had from James's polygraph up here.
431
00:24:44,230 --> 00:24:46,630
Did you attack Susan McCartney?
432
00:24:52,570 --> 00:24:54,870
No.
433
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,710
The same shame expression.
434
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,690
Now punch in on his eye.
I want to see his pupil.
435
00:25:02,620 --> 00:25:04,260
They're fully dilated.
436
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,790
And it's not fear or anger.
437
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,070
You know what else makes pupils dilate.
438
00:25:08,110 --> 00:25:10,380
Sexual arousal.
439
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:13,760
You think there was a sexual relationship
between James and Ms. McCartney?
440
00:25:13,770 --> 00:25:16,820
Maybe that's what the parents were hiding.
441
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:21,580

My son did not engage in sexual activity of any kind.

442
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,250
As I told you, we're here because we believe your son is innocent.
443
00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:28,540
There were no signs of rape or sexual assault in this crime.
444
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:33,730
But on his polygraph, James exhibited
intense sexual feelings for Ms. McCartney.
445
00:25:34,030 --> 00:25:36,070
Gerald...
Be quiet.
446
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,330
We saw you try to conceal your scorn for Ms. McCartney.
447
00:25:39,340 --> 00:25:42,510
That's not just about the books she was teaching, is it?
448
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,020
What can you tell us about your son and her?
449
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,160
I've already told you everything.
450
00:25:47,170 --> 00:25:50,180
Both of you and your son are lying.
451
00:25:50,570 --> 00:25:51,780
Now, let me tell you something.
452
00:25:51,810 --> 00:25:54,560
The only way three people can keep
a secret is if two of them are dead,
453
00:25:54,590 --> 00:25:56,120
so why don't you wake the hell up.
454
00:25:56,130 --> 00:25:59,100
Everything you're doing makes perfect sense.
455
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:02,340
You're afraid for your son, Mrs. Cole.

456
00:26:02,350 --> 00:26:05,650
And when we experience fear, we try
to exercise whatever control we can,
457
00:26:05,660 --> 00:26:07,620
even if it makes things worse.
458
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:09,460
That's why you lied to us before.
459
00:26:09,490 --> 00:26:14,050
It may help you feel better, but it's not helping your son.
460
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:19,210
Because right now, the only people who
believe James is innocent are in this room.
461
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:28,910
I know that you have the courage to move
past your fear and tell us the truth.
462
00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:36,320
Wait here.
463
00:26:45,310 --> 00:26:49,090
We found these hidden in James's room
464
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:53,370
before the police came and searched his things.
465
00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:06,230
I... I know how this must look, but our
son couldn't possibly have done this.
466
00:27:08,340 --> 00:27:12,090
Did you know James had been spying on
Ms. McCartney before you found these?
467
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:13,990
No.
468
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,900
You ever talk to James about sex?
469
00:27:17,110 --> 00:27:20,380

I talked with him about the urges that young men feel.
470
00:27:20,420 --> 00:27:22,970
We-we read from Colossians together.
471
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,350
"Fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite is idolatry."
472
00:27:26,380 --> 00:27:29,610
He-he knows there's no greater sin.
473
00:27:35,630 --> 00:27:38,610
I need to see the crime scene photos.
474
00:27:47,070 --> 00:27:49,850
You can't show these photographs to anyone, please.
475
00:27:49,870 --> 00:27:52,380
We need to show them to your son.
476
00:27:55,610 --> 00:27:59,230
You took these, James.
477
00:27:59,510 --> 00:28:04,650
And... I understand why.
478
00:28:06,970 --> 00:28:09,670
Ms. McCartney didn't make you feel anger.
479
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,980
She made you feel temptation.
480
00:28:12,990 --> 00:28:18,780
She was a beautiful woman, and for the
first time in your life, you felt desire.
481
00:28:19,330 --> 00:28:24,180
You took these pictures so you could fantasize about her.
482
00:28:26,030 --> 00:28:31,440
You spied on her, for weeks, at school, at her home.
483
00:28:31,460 --> 00:28:36,140
You took these, hiding right here behind
these trees, looking through the bay window.

484
00:28:36,180 --> 00:28:40,700
And on the night of the murder, you
went back to her house to spy on her.
485
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,890
And this is what you saw.
486
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,640
There she was.
487
00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:50,510
You became aroused.
488
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,690
You gave in to temptation.
489
00:29:11,790 --> 00:29:14,900
I didn't know she was dead.
490
00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:21,220
And... I started to have thoughts.
491
00:29:21,950 --> 00:29:25,470
Unclean thoughts.
492
00:29:27,540 --> 00:29:30,630
And I touched myself.
493
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,110
I swear to God I did not know that she was...
494
00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:43,380
that she was dead.
495
00:29:43,390 --> 00:29:46,820
It wasn't until afterwards.
496
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:50,390
I was walking away, and...
497
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,110
I saw the blood.
498
00:29:53,130 --> 00:29:54,870
And I ran around to the front.

499
00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,260
And I was gonna call 911, but the police came and...
500
00:30:01,970 --> 00:30:05,160
I ran. I just ran.
501
00:30:06,260 --> 00:30:08,830
What was I supposed to do?
502
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,020
the truth! I didn't kill her!
503
00:30:13,030 --> 00:30:16,210
I told what I did!
504
00:30:17,220 --> 00:30:18,110
What was that?
505
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:20,990
You spoon-fed him a good defense, and
he's not stupid. He went with it.
506
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,860
But there's, uh, still a preponderance of evidence against him.
507
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:26,450
More than enough for a grand jury.
508
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,850
James was telling the truth.
509
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,530
Oh, he lied when he said he'd never
been to Ms.McCartney's house before,
510
00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:33,370
and these photographs go a long
way toward proving premeditation.
511
00:30:33,390 --> 00:30:35,700
You aren't gonna reconsider other suspects?
512
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,870
He was stalking the victim; he fled the scene;

513
00:30:37,890 --> 00:30:39,730
and he failed a polygraph the night of the murder.
514
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,410
All for the same reason: sexual guilt.
515
00:30:42,430 --> 00:30:44,680
The polygraph only tells you if someone is feeling guilty.
516
00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:46,570
It doesn't tell you what they're feeling guilty about.
517
00:30:46,610 --> 00:30:49,000
The guilt James felt had nothing to do with the murder.
518
00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:51,940
Look, you want to ignore the evidence, fine.
519
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:55,320
Look, I heard how things ended for you over at the Pentagon.
520
00:30:55,370 --> 00:31:00,940
And unless you want the entire Justice Department
picking apart every case you work for us, too,
521
00:31:00,950 --> 00:31:03,770
you'll leave this one alone.
522
00:31:10,020 --> 00:31:11,870
There she is.
523
00:31:12,180 --> 00:31:13,950
Hey, honey.
524
00:31:15,470 --> 00:31:17,520
Hey, Cal. Sorry I'm late.
525
00:31:17,530 --> 00:31:20,290
Had a bunch of work I had to finish before leaving.
526
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:23,150
Why don't you come to dinner with us, clear your head for an hour.
527
00:31:23,180 --> 00:31:24,360
It's gonna be a late night.

528
00:31:24,390 --> 00:31:26,120
Nah, I'm good. You go ahead.
529
00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:29,710
Night.
530
00:31:33,780 --> 00:31:36,210
Her husband just lied to her.
531
00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:38,990
He was lying when he said he got held up with work.
532
00:31:39,010 --> 00:31:41,500
Don't you have work to do?
533
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,760
You're not gonna tell her he's lying?
534
00:31:44,770 --> 00:31:47,380
How we doing on the congressman and the sex club thing?
535
00:31:47,970 --> 00:31:49,750
Okay.
536
00:31:49,780 --> 00:31:52,000
Well, Congressman Weil still won't admit to anything,
537
00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:56,160
so I'm gonna go to the club tonight and see if I can
find out what he did there that he's so ashamed of.
538
00:31:56,190 --> 00:32:00,800
Girl Weil's been seeing goes by Melissa,
and he sees her Friday night without fail.
539
00:32:00,820 --> 00:32:02,250
Classy, huh?
540
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,810
Well, we all pay for sex one way or another.
541
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:07,510
At least hookers are honest about the price.
542

00:32:17,570 --> 00:32:21,020

Bet your boyfriend's pretty happy this is his birthday present.
543
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:23,390
So, uh, how do you like this place, Melissa?
544
00:32:23,410 --> 00:32:25,820
It's great. Always a party.
545
00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:28,010
You really hate it, huh?
546
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,550
Just for now. You know...
547
00:32:34,030 --> 00:32:37,820
it sucks being broke, and I can make a lot
more money doing this than I did dancing.
548
00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:40,930
So are most of your clients, uh, regulars or one-offs?
549
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,270
Mostly, um, regulars, actually.
550
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,350
Maybe Julian and I could, um...
That's my boyfriend.
551
00:32:49,820 --> 00:32:51,710
Maybe we'll become one of your regulars.
552
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:53,170
Are you free next Friday night?
553
00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:58,960
No Fridays. I, uh, I have, um, a regular on Fridays.
554
00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:04,540
I don't think the congressman was doing anything nasty to her.
555
00:33:04,570 --> 00:33:07,720
She had this little smile about her Friday nights with him,
556
00:33:07,730 --> 00:33:10,490
like, like she has real feelings for the guy.

557
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,930
Was there wrinkling around her eyes when she smiled?
558
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:15,180
Yeah, there was.
559
00:33:15,190 --> 00:33:17,990
Then it was real. In a fake smile, there's no eye wrinkling.
560
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,860
Excuse me. Turn on the news.
561
00:33:24,030 --> 00:33:25,560
There's much to be learned still,
562
00:33:25,580 --> 00:33:31,100
but House Ethics Chairman Zeb Weil
reportedly spent more than $82, 000
563
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:33,990
on a single escort over a matter of months.
564
00:33:34,030 --> 00:33:36,780
He exited his congressional offices moments ago.
565
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,870
Is it true that...
566
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:40,830
Congressman Weil, how long has this been going on?
567
00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:43,270
Look at his disgust.
568
00:33:43,290 --> 00:33:45,350
Yeah, but he's not disgusted with himself.
569
00:33:45,380 --> 00:33:49,660
It's like he's disgusted with the idea of having sex with her.
570
00:33:49,670 --> 00:33:52,550
Well, maybe they weren't having sex.
571
00:33:52,580 --> 00:33:57,420

Why would a guy spend $82, 000 on

an escort he's not having sex with?
572
00:33:57,780 --> 00:34:00,910
Yes, of course. No, I understand.
573
00:34:02,930 --> 00:34:06,120
Defense attorney says James has
had an acute psychological collapse.
574
00:34:06,130 --> 00:34:08,240
He won't eat, sleep, or talk to anyone.
575
00:34:08,250 --> 00:34:10,600
He's on suicide watch.
576
00:34:11,220 --> 00:34:12,990
Take a look at these.
577
00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:15,050
Her clothes are identical to the crime scene photos.
578
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,200
James took those the day of the murder, and you can tell it's late,
579
00:34:17,220 --> 00:34:20,130
probably just a couple of hours before she was killed.
580
00:34:22,690 --> 00:34:25,430
Look at that hand.
What?
581
00:34:35,810 --> 00:34:37,400
It's tensed.
582
00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:39,850
Turned upwards at her side like this.
583
00:34:39,860 --> 00:34:41,140
Is that a gestural emblem?
584
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,690
Yeah. When we make it consciously... the meaning's clear.
585
00:34:44,700 --> 00:34:47,730
Stop. She was having an argument.

586
00:34:47,740 --> 00:34:50,400
Yeah. Had to be pretty disturbing to produce that emblem.
587
00:34:50,410 --> 00:34:53,600
So whoever was in that car had a fight
with her just hours before she was murdered.
588
00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:57,870
Body language tells the truth even from the grave.
589
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:03,450
Principal Castle. Thank you for seeing us.
590
00:35:03,460 --> 00:35:05,760
Please. Anything to help.
591
00:35:08,050 --> 00:35:12,070
Do you know who at school might have had an
argument with Ms. McCartney the day she was murdered?
592
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,390
I have no idea. What? Do you
think another student was involved?
593
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,480
Possibly. We need to know who drives this car.
594
00:35:24,010 --> 00:35:27,240
Sure. I can try to see if it's registered for school parking.
595
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:30,490
Is that your car?
No, it's not.
596
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:33,340
Were you romantically involved with Susan McCartney?
597
00:35:33,350 --> 00:35:36,960
Of course not. What are you suggesting?
598
00:35:36,970 --> 00:35:40,280
Oh, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry. I really am. I...
599
00:35:40,290 --> 00:35:43,050
we have to consider everything, and

I'm sorry if I've offended you.

600
00:35:43,060 --> 00:35:47,120
Really, I'm... I'm very sorry. Very sorry.
601
00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:50,630
If I... if I offended you... I... I'm sorry.
602
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,490
I have offended you, and I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
603
00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:57,240
It's not a good thing, really. I apologize.
604
00:36:03,250 --> 00:36:05,340
What's with the Rainman routine?
605
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,990
You want to know how scared he was after
you showed him the photo of the car?
606
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,950
How scared?
607
00:36:08,970 --> 00:36:13,440
In skin temperature, about ten degrees
scared, which is to say, very scared.
608
00:36:13,790 --> 00:36:15,980
His hand was colder the second time you shook it.
609
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,180
Yeah, he recognized that car. Intense fear kicked in.
610
00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:21,290
It's a classic physiological flight response.
611
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,050
Blood flows from the extremities to the legs so you're ready to run.
612
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:27,930
Your hands get cold first.
613
00:36:27,940 --> 00:36:31,940
The car in question does not belong to the principal or his wife.

614
00:36:31,950 --> 00:36:33,100
Are you sure?
615
00:36:33,110 --> 00:36:35,950
Yeah. Deputy Bonds had records run both of their registrations.
616
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,550
So principal Castle recognized the car, but it's not his.
617
00:36:38,580 --> 00:36:40,240
Well, find out whose it is.
618
00:36:40,270 --> 00:36:43,140
Have them run the registration of
every student and teacher at the school.
619
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,180
The DNC chairman's going ahead with
the press conference this afternoon,
620
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:50,340
but I think I know what congressman weil was
doing at the sex club and why he was so ashamed.
621
00:36:50,350 --> 00:36:53,600
Take a look. He filed this online two years ago.
622
00:36:55,540 --> 00:36:58,510
Call me the second you hear about the car. Come on.
623
00:37:00,210 --> 00:37:02,180
Thank you.
624
00:37:04,250 --> 00:37:06,830
You haven't done enough muckraking for one day?
625
00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:10,160
Sir, we don't think you were doing anything sexual at that club
626
00:37:10,190 --> 00:37:13,890
because I believe this escort, Melissa, who you paid for time with...
627
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,920
what about her?
628

00:37:15,930 --> 00:37:18,450

She's your daughter.
629
00:37:21,870 --> 00:37:23,800
I've already admitted what I did.
630
00:37:23,820 --> 00:37:25,720
I'm tendering my resignation today.
631
00:37:25,750 --> 00:37:29,540
This is the profile you registered
in may of '06 at adopt connect,
632
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,600
a registry for birth parents trying to reconnect with an adoptee.
633
00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:36,560
The adopted name you listed was Brenda Melissa Johnson.
634
00:37:36,580 --> 00:37:40,050
The date of birth would make her Melissa's age now.
635
00:37:50,260 --> 00:37:53,400
I was a junior in college at UA,
636
00:37:53,410 --> 00:37:57,710
and I was seeing a young woman who was a
freshman at the woman's college in Marion.
637
00:37:58,240 --> 00:37:59,780
She got pregnant.
638
00:37:59,810 --> 00:38:03,230
We agreed to a closed adoption.
639
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:05,680
We both moved on.
640
00:38:05,710 --> 00:38:09,140
But I never stopped thinking about it.
641
00:38:10,250 --> 00:38:13,060
A couple of years ago, I registered to be found.
642
00:38:13,090 --> 00:38:15,590
Nothing came of it.

643
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,020
So I hired a private investigator.
644
00:38:20,050 --> 00:38:23,760
Does Melissa... Brenda... know you're her father?
645
00:38:24,230 --> 00:38:26,400
No.
646
00:38:26,410 --> 00:38:31,240
I didn't want to force her to confront
an answer she clearly wasn't looking for,
647
00:38:32,730 --> 00:38:37,200
but when I found out she was working at that
club, I had to do something, so I went...
648
00:38:37,210 --> 00:38:39,750
started getting to know her. Gave her money.
649
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,950
Tried to get her to quit.
650
00:38:41,970 --> 00:38:43,990
We can tell the chairman and the press.
651
00:38:44,010 --> 00:38:45,880
Please. No.
652
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,430
No?
653
00:38:47,470 --> 00:38:51,160
I am close to getting Brenda to make a change.
654
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:54,990
If the press finds out who she really is,
655
00:38:55,020 --> 00:39:01,150
she will spend the rest of her life being
known as the congressman's whore daughter.
656
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,260
I've already betrayed her once.

657
00:39:11,130 --> 00:39:14,340
I won't do it again.
658
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,710
The car belongs to Jacquelin Mathis, the
girl the school nurse thought was pregnant.
659
00:39:26,740 --> 00:39:28,380
Deputy bond had homicide bring her in.
660
00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:31,370
Second district station right now.
661
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Why would I know what happened to Miss McCartney?
662
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,680
No, you tell me.
Why would I know?
663
00:39:39,690 --> 00:39:41,980
Why would I know?
664
00:39:42,020 --> 00:39:46,360
Eyebrows go up, like yours, the person knows
the answer to the question they're asking.
665
00:39:46,370 --> 00:39:50,240
But I don't. I don't... I don't feel well.
666
00:39:50,250 --> 00:39:52,020
Morning sickness.
667
00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:55,530
You argued with Ms. McCartney the afternoon that she was murdered.
668
00:39:55,540 --> 00:39:57,660
No, I didn't. You don't know what you're talking about.
669
00:39:57,670 --> 00:39:59,000
I know when you're lying.
670
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:01,430
I'm not lying.
I know why you fought with her.

671
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,560
I didn't.
672
00:40:05,010 --> 00:40:07,880
Is this your car?
673
00:40:08,090 --> 00:40:09,720
I didn't kill Miss McCartney.
674
00:40:09,750 --> 00:40:11,200
Now, that's true.
675
00:40:11,220 --> 00:40:14,750
I know you didn't. But you know who did.
676
00:40:16,750 --> 00:40:19,330
So tell me about the argument.
677
00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:23,130
I don't have anything to say.
678
00:40:24,750 --> 00:40:28,170
You know, James Cole is innocent.
679
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:30,210
He's going to go to prison for the rest of his life.
680
00:40:30,230 --> 00:40:32,830
Are you really gonna let that happen?
681
00:40:32,860 --> 00:40:35,830
I mean, maybe you couldn't stop the murder, but you can stop this.
682
00:40:35,860 --> 00:40:38,490
You have to stop this.
683
00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:45,560
I can't.
684
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:48,480
Jacquelin.
685
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,940
I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

686
00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:13,770
You're gonna have to live with this because
James Cole just hanged himself in his jail cell.
687
00:41:24,940 --> 00:41:28,270
I didn't think that anything would happen to James.
688
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,720
Because he's a minor.
689
00:41:31,770 --> 00:41:35,920
I didn't know that he was gonna...
Oh, my God.
690
00:41:35,930 --> 00:41:40,400
Why did Principal Castle recognize your car
691
00:41:40,420 --> 00:41:43,150
when I showed him the photograph?
692
00:41:45,250 --> 00:41:48,290
You're involved with him, aren't you?
693
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:51,450
Castle took advantage of you.
694
00:41:52,950 --> 00:41:56,050
He didn't take advantage of me.
695
00:41:56,380 --> 00:42:00,000
We're in love. He loves me.
696
00:42:01,300 --> 00:42:04,290
You're pregnant with his baby, aren't you?
697
00:42:06,050 --> 00:42:10,370
He was going to leave his wife to be with me. He told me.
698
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:17,750
When Miss McCartney saw us, parked in my car, that was at school,
699
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,280
we didn't, we didn't know, but she saw us.
700
00:42:21,290 --> 00:42:24,860

Then later that day she came up to me

in the parking lot freaking out, like,
701
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,170
'cause she had to be all worried about me when...
702
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:29,650
I mean, I was the one who went after him.
703
00:42:29,690 --> 00:42:31,980
And then you argued about turning him in.
704
00:42:32,010 --> 00:42:35,880
I begged her not to. He hadn't done anything wrong.
705
00:42:35,890 --> 00:42:39,190
She didn't listen.
706
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,390
She said she was gonna turn him in. So...
707
00:42:43,050 --> 00:42:45,470
I told him.
708
00:42:45,490 --> 00:42:49,340
You know, you know, he said that everything
would be okay, that he would talk to her.
709
00:42:49,700 --> 00:42:54,590
God... I didn't know he was gonna kill her.
710
00:42:55,750 --> 00:42:58,710
I didn't know.
711
00:44:03,050 --> 00:44:05,370
You get the e-mail from the US attorney's office?
712
00:44:05,380 --> 00:44:06,750
No.
713
00:44:06,780 --> 00:44:09,620
Principal Castle confessed in exchange for 30 years.
714
00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:13,000
I thought the truth would set you free.

715
00:44:13,670 --> 00:44:17,030
Speaking of which, do you still have that note that I brought you?
716
00:44:17,050 --> 00:44:19,320
I want it for my office.
717
00:44:19,330 --> 00:44:21,980
You really are a pack rat.
718
00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:28,970
You could have just told me what this was for.
719
00:44:28,980 --> 00:44:31,510
No, you're a terrible liar.
720
00:44:31,530 --> 00:44:34,240
Normal people think that's a good thing.
721
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:36,200
You saying I'm not normal?
722
00:44:36,220 --> 00:44:39,660
Good night. Go home.
723
00:44:46,340 --> 00:44:49,000
DSC chairman's on the phone. What
are we gonna say about the congressman?
724
00:44:49,010 --> 00:44:50,810
Nothing.
725
00:44:50,820 --> 00:44:53,740
So we're just gonna let him throw away his career?
726
00:44:53,780 --> 00:44:55,380
We're basically gonna lie?
727
00:44:55,390 --> 00:44:57,900
Not basically.
728
00:44:58,610 --> 00:45:03,490
So you lie to your partner about her husband
and you lie to the people who hired us.
729
00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:05,460

What am I supposed to believe about you?

730
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,090
You believe whatever you want. Everyone else does.
731
00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:14,890
I'm glad your spending the holidays with your family.
732
00:45:14,900 --> 00:45:17,300
Your folks are great.
733
00:45:21,710 --> 00:45:23,690
I'm saying I didn't even want this promotion.
734
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:26,510
I feel terrible they fired him.
735
00:45:30,110 --> 00:45:34,920
I love you. I'm gonna leave my wife. I just need more time.
736
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,290
Excuse me.
