Bull (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 20 - Make Me - full transcript

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Longest ball wins,
so don't slice it again.

- Mulligan, Troy. You distracted me.
- Dad, maybe you need a new club.

- Or you should try a different sport.
- Keep talking. You're almost up.

There's a putt-putt
down the street.

- And that's how it's done.
- That is gonna be tough to beat.

This is fun. Thanks for coming.

Feels like old times. You used to
love coming here when you were nine.

Yeah, I remember. I'm
really glad we did this again.

Yeah. One more for me
and then you're up, hotshot.

- See if you can hit the river, Dad.
- All right.



- Nice swing.
- Thanks.

MAN: Order 17. Philly
cheesesteak, fries, medium soda.

- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Order 17, pick up, please.

Troy?

- Oh, my God! He's killing him!
- MAN: Somebody stop him!

- Call 911!
- Need some help!

Need a doctor! Anyone!

[LAUGHS]

- What's this?
- What does it look like?

A midlife crisis.

I didn't question you
when you got a Bentley.

Well, that's because my
midlife crisis came with airbags.

I'm surprised you agreed to
do a psych eval on a patient.

Well, she said that I wouldn't
wanna pass it up, and she knows me.



She?

Yeah, Dr. Levin. She
handles the interesting patients.

Man who mistook his wife
for a hat, that sort of thing.

Hey, Bull... I know why you
asked me to meet you here today.

- Oh, good. That saves time.
- I'm glad.

I want you to know that I heard
what you said about my behavior

during the class-action suit,

and you're right, I
was off my game.

But I'm back. I'm better.

I'm just ready to jump
right back on that horse.

Oh.

Then why'd you buy a bike?

Oh, Amy.

Jason. And you must be Benny.

Amy's the head of
forensic psychiatry.

Ah. Tough job.

Given our country's current mental
state, I will never be out of work.

How's the private
sector treating you?

I drive a Bentley.

I hope you're still
finding time to bake.

Bull bakes?

He doesn't know about
Better Than Robert Redford?

I do not.

It's this amazing dessert that
Jason used to bring in on Fridays.

Kind of half pie, half pudding.

- My birthday's coming up next month.
- I'm not baking you a cake.

So, tell us about
this patient of yours.

Troy Dickerson is 25 years old.

Graduated from NYU. Good
grades, popular, athletic.

And then a few months ago he
enrolled in the Lumansic Academy.

Lumansic? I've
heard of it. It's a cult.

It's an alternative
learning center.

Yes, which means it's a cult.

BENNY: How did Troy end up here?

He was charged with murdering
his father three nights ago.

At his arraignment,
Troy pled not guilty.

The judge ordered a
competency evaluation.

BULL: Assessment?

I think he thinks
he's telling the truth.

There's just one problem.

So that's Troy.

AMY: And that's his
father, Clint, at the tee.

- BULL: His demeanor shifted.
- AMY: I noticed it too.

He's dissociating.

Oh, God.

He attacked him out of nowhere.

The head injuries Clint
sustained were fatal.

I'm assuming Troy doesn't
have any memory of the incident.

No, he doesn't. He's
mentally blocked it.

It may be psychologically
damaging for him to remember.

We've done lie detector,
FMRI and several sessions.

BENNY: Look, whether he
claims to remember or not,

it's obvious that
he killed his father.

What's not obvious is
why. No history of violence.

- Has Troy seen the video?
- No.

Anyone got a quarter?

Fun fact. There are no
US quarters dated 1933.

OK.

Maybe I oversold the "fun" part.

But I'll bet you $20 you can't
tell me the date on this quarter.

How is this supposed to help me?

Why are you here, Troy?

They... say I killed my father.

- Did you?
- No. I would never do that.

I loved my dad.

- So you and Bull used to work together.
- Something like that.

BULL: Just tell me
the date on the quarter.

I can't when it's
spinning like that.

BULL: Try. Look closer.

AMY: It's an
eye-fixation induction.

A way to test a person's ability

to transition into an altered
mental state of relaxation.

Just keep looking at it. In
fact, look right through it.

The longer you look at it,
the more you can't look away.

That's it. Keep
focusing on the quarter.

Tell me about your father.

They say I killed him.

But I don't remember.

I want you to try.

I have, every day.

It's gone.

He's gone.

Why can't I remember?
What's wrong with me?

We're gonna figure
this out... together.

What do you think?

We're taking this case.

I thought you were
just evaluating him, Bull.

You saw the video. He did it.

What I saw on that video
confirms what I saw in that room.

A young man who is highly susceptible
to hypnotism and verbal triggers.

Troy is not guilty
of this crime.

He was brainwashed to kill.

You are getting very sleepy.

Your screen's filthy and it
smells like peanut butter.

Come on, concentrate. I
paid 99 cents for this app.

- OK, hypnosis doesn't work.
- Oh, yes, it does work.

I know that it can be used to stop
smoking or lose weight, but murder?

CABLE: I saw a hypnotist
at a magic show once.

He told me no one'll ever do
anything they don't wanna do.

And that is why we don't base
our defense on magic shows, Cable.

The human mind is pliable, and
what we want can be manipulated

depending on the
vulnerability of the subject

and the skills of the hypnotist.

So what's our strategy?

I say let's try to plead
down to manslaughter.

No. Troy Dickerson isn't
responsible for killing his father.

He was psychologically
kidnapped.

We will plead not guilty
by reason of insanity.

But Troy has no history of insanity.
I mean, he's not insane, is he?

Temporarily.

To prove insanity, all
we have to do is show

that Troy was not in control of
his actions at the time of the crime.

I don't know. Juries aren't gonna
look at Troy and think he's insane.

And they will see him
kill his father in cold blood.

It's gonna be impossible to convince
them that Troy's not responsible.

Troy was in an altered state. He
had no idea what he was doing.

The person who hypnotized
him is responsible.

So someone just told him
to commit murder at 6:41pm?

There was a trigger, a word,

a sound, a color, an object.

Cable and Benny, I'd
like you to break down

everything that Troy
came into contact with.

We find the trigger,
we find the real killer.

Hey, Bull. So, who do you have
in mind for a defense lawyer?

- Are you curious or campaigning?
- Both.

Sorry I'm late.

Benny, you remember
Reed Kenwood.

Yeah. The medical
marijuana case.

Yes. You guys really nailed
the strategy on that one, but this...

I've always wanted to
try an insanity defense.

Good.

Reed, welcome. We're getting
started on the juror profiles.

- Excuse me.
- Have fun.

Reed? Really?

Yeah, he's worked
for us in the past

and, frankly, we need to put
a believer in front of this jury.

What makes you think that
Reed believes in hypnosis?

What makes you think
I'm talking about hypnosis?

Well, if not that, then what?

I don't think you're
really back yet.

I'll give you a call when we're
representing a biker gang.

Troy and his dad have been
coming here since he was a kid.

I have no idea
what got into him.

Those cameras, did
they record the murder?

Yeah, but they all
show the same thing.

Troy killed his father with a four
iron. Is anyone disputing that?

Kind of. Would you mind
sharing a copy of all the footage?

Uh, sorry, man. I don't know
you, so not without a warrant.

Come on. We're trying to help Troy.
The police were only given one angle.

We're looking for a potential trigger or
something that may have set Troy off.

These different camera angles
may help explain what happened.

- [PHONE RINGS]
- Yeah.

Which means you can come
back with a warrant. Excuse me.

That computer's not
password protected.

I can get the footage in less than
60 seconds. Just... cover me, partner.

OK.

- Anything else?
- Yes.

While I'm here, I might
as well get a few swings in.

Would you mind setting me up?

OK.

With a custom shank, you see,
you won't have to worry about...

- For you.
- Oh!

That should do it.

- CABLE: Come on.
- BENNY: Yeah, it's nice.

- Anything else?
- Thank you.

- [MOUTHS]
- Uh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Where do I get the balls?

[SIGHS]

CABLE: Come on.

You get it?

Ace in the hole.

Don't be offended, but I'm
taking the subway back to work.

You know you like being
on the back of my bike.

Yeah, as long as
you're not driving.

MAN: I am so proud of
each and every one of you.

You've taken the first step
on a long and luminous journey

towards realizing
your potential.

I'm Thornton Grey, founder
of the Lumansic Academy.

My daughter Rachel and I started
this learning center two years ago

with one goal in mind.

You. That's right.
Yes, all of you.

Because here we're all family.

Seriously? This guy's
a talking fortune cookie.

I see the appeal. Well, he's
passionate. He oozes charisma.

And he puts on a
great presentation.

You're not really buying
into this nonsense, are you?

What matters is that
Troy bought into it.

- That's why we're here.
- Right.

Now, how does that
sound to everybody?

Hi, Benny.

Hi, Amy.

- Is Dr. Bull around?
- He stepped out. He'll be back soon.

Cruiser or sport bike?

Sport bike. You know
your motorcycles.

Oh, my ex-husband
used to restore old Harleys.

Good memories.

Of the bikes.

My husband, well, try
to forget him every day.

So, you and Bull started
dating after the divorce.

You thought that
Jason and I...? No.

Our relationship has
always been professional.

Oh. I'm sorry. I,
uh, misread that.

I can see why you
and Dr. Bull get along.

You're very quick
with deductions.

I can see why you and Dr. Bull
are friends. Always observing.

Are those part of
the Dickerson case?

Yes.

These are drawings Troy made.

BENNY: Looks like a trident.

- He also made these.
- When did he start doing this?

AMY: Right after you
and Bull came to see him.

You think it's got something
to do with his father's murder?

Yes. Problem is, Troy doesn't
know what these drawings mean.

It's what we call a
glitch in the matrix.

It occurs when somebody has
been programmed to forget an event

but their mind is desperately
trying to remember.

So I've reviewed the surveillance
footage from Chelsea Piers,

and in the minutes
leading up to the murder,

I don't see Troy talk to
anybody but his father.

See if this triggers anything.

A trident.

Like the spear of Poseidon?

The gum? Oh, the missile.

Let's try to narrow it down to
things relevant to Troy's life.

Well, maybe Troy's secretly the
god of the sea who enjoys fresh breath

and nuclear-armed
submarine-launched ballistic weapons.

Follow that lead last.

Our biggest challenge will
be to convince the jurors

that hypnotism is real.

So... how do we do that?

We hypnotize them.

You're suggesting we
actually hypnotize them?

I'm suggesting the
power of suggestion.

Ladies and gentlemen, as
part of the voir dire process,

I'm hoping you all can help settle a
debate I'm having with my girlfriend.

- Think they'll buy this?
- Maybe not the girlfriend part.

REED: She says this
candle smells like vanilla.

I think it smells
like sandalwood.

What do you think?

Um, I'm not really sure.

Hmm.

Ma'am, what about you?

Vanilla. Definitely
vanilla, right?

- Yeah, she's right, it's vanilla.
- Hmm.

Jurors four and
five are keepers.

It's unscented.

Neither vanilla...
nor sandalwood.

The power of suggestion.

How many of you own a gun?

Prosecution wants gun owners

because statistically
they're tough on crime,

but if we set the narrative right,
gun owners will sympathize with Troy.

They'll see him as the gun

and the person who hypnotized
him as the one who pulled the trigger.

'Cause gun owners
don't blame the gun.

Yeah. Stop smiling.

All five jurors are
acceptable to the prosecution.

Uh, acceptable to the defense.

Hello there.

Oatmeal. Good choice.

I'm feeling very
confident about it.

Are you always confident
about your choices?

If every choice
were as easy as this.

But they can be, once you're
at peace with who you are.

I guess I've made a few
left turns along the way.

- Ah. Who hasn't?
- Right.

You do seem a little restless.

Have you changed
careers recently?

Yeah. Yeah, I have.

Hmm.

I started out in sports and then
moved into the fashion industry,

and now I mostly consult
on other people's appearance.

Appearance?

What you see on the outside
versus what's really going on inside?

Yeah.

I'd like to understand
what that means to you.

Excuse me. You're...
You're Rachel, right?

- Yes. Hi.
- Hi.

I was in the audience
for your dad's speech.

It was so good, and... I'm
submitting an application.

Well, we love hearing that.

You know, this place
isn't at all what I thought.

What were you expecting?

Well, you know, all that stuff online
about... about Lumansic being a cult

and that guy killing his father.

- Troy, yes.
- Did you... Did you know him?

I did. And I really liked him.

My dad and I oversee all the
first-year students ourselves,

and Dad saw something
really special in Troy.

He was trying to help him.

Never mind all the news.
They just wanna sell stories.

Here, we zone all of that out and
try to make ourselves better people.

What do you do?

So, Mr. Grey's daughter said

that he took a particular
interest in our client.

Thornton is the kind of guy
that takes an interest in everyone.

- Thornton?
- You spoke with him?

Yeah, on my tour.

You... You got a tour?

They... They told me I'd
have to call to schedule one.

- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Weird.

More like rude. They lied to me.

- Hot date?
- Indeed. Lumansic.

Thornton wants me to come to
the orientation class tomorrow.

They are totally recruiting him, and
they're not giving me the time of day.

They got a whiff of your skepticism
and they don't wanna take any chances.

And, Chunk, they saw you as
open-minded and inquisitive.

- They like the cut of your jib.
- Thank you?

Congratulations. You're joining
a cult. Now, please don't kill us.

OK, Reed, all set to go?

Uh... But I thought Benny was...

I'm gonna deliver the
opening to our mock jury,

test out our theory
about Thornton Grey.

- Reed's trying the case.
- Mock courtroom is my domain.

- Let me take a shot.
- OK, show me.

BENNY: Now, the
facts aren't in dispute.

You don't have to decide
whether or not Troy killed his father.

But you do have to decide
whether or not he lacked the ability

to control his actions
during the incident.

We're gonna prove

that Troy was manipulated to
kill his father by Thornton Grey,

the leader of a cult

camouflaged as an elite
institution for higher education,

where former students reported
being subjected to ritual indoctrination,

where they were encouraged
to cut off family ties

and attended hypnotherapy
sessions to control their behavior.

The mock jurors' readings spiked

when Benny mentioned the
tactics that Lumansic has been using.

- But that is the good news.
- And the bad news?

Even though the jurors
believe that Thornton Grey

had the skill and
opportunity to hypnotize Troy,

they don't yet believe he had
ample motive to kill Troy's father.

DANNY: Yeah, I may
have a lead on that.

I looked into Troy's
father's bank records

and it turns out he was paying
for Troy's tuition at Lumansic

to the tune of 25 grand.

Maybe his dad threatened
to cut off the payments.

I mean, Thornton
would've lost a lot of money.

- Money is a motive for murder.
- Troy was one student.

His tuition wasn't gonna make or
break the school. Just keep digging.

Patty Hearst. Big day.

Actually, I was thinking
more Donnie Brasco.

How do you want me
to play this when I go in?

Well, don't overthink it. You
were chosen for a reason.

Cults like Lumansic target people
who are searching for meaning.

Some people are curious, others
have lost direction in their lives.

They can be very
seductive, Chunk.

You think I'm gonna go
native? Come on, Bull.

It's not about intelligence.

Brilliant minds are
co-opted by cults all the time.

Just be yourself in there. They're
not gonna suspect anything.

I need you inside
their practices

and I wanna know the techniques
that they use on their students.

Keep your eyes open,
every small detail,

because the more specific we
can be with the jury, the better.

- And do not...
- Drink the Kool-Aid.

Danny already beat you to it.

I was gonna say, "Do
not be late for orientation."

But wow. I thought Danny would
be more proud of her rejection.

This band's called Trident Four. I
found them in Troy's music library.

Do they know "tri"
means three, not four?

Uh, they're pretty post-hipster,
grunge antiestablishment,

so I'd say it's unclear whether
they're being ironic or idiotic.

Wow. Let's hear it.

♪ We are the chosen ones

♪ Whoa-oa-oa

- ♪ Whoa-oa-oa...
- Interesting, right?

♪ Whoa-oa-oa We
are the chosen... ♪

Any indication Troy was listening
to this on the night of the murder?

Unfortunately not, but
it's the best lead I have.

I mean, I've checked all his records.
He's not a fan of The Little Mermaid.

- Little Mermaid? Like King Triton?
- Yeah, he carried a trident.

That's so cool that
you know King Triton.

I was Ariel when I was
a kid for Halloween.

Me too. We should
totally have a sing-along.

Yeah, you know, I'm...
I'm busy tonight. Um, yeah.

OK, well, what
about, like, Tuesday?

- Busy.
- Wednesday?

Still busy.

Chunk. So glad you've joined us.

- Thank you.
- I'm gonna need your cellphone.

My phone? Why?

You'll get it back at
the end of the session.

Sorry about the
heightened security.

She's concerned about the
negative press we've been getting.

She wants to open a
second campus in Brooklyn.

- Wow. That'd be amazing.
- It has its pros and cons.

I never wanna lose sight of
our mission here, you know.

Something I carefully manage

is being sure that I can devote
ample time to each new student.

I certainly appreciate the time.

I've been thinking about something
you said yesterday, about appearances.

I believe I can help you.

Really? How?

Techniques that allow people to
access parts of their subconscious

that have been holding them back
from truly knowing who they are

and what they want.

Chunk, have you
ever been hypnotized?

Me? Testify?

It's possible.

But I don't remember anything.

The jury needs to see
that you're a regular kid

who had his whole
life ahead of him,

until someone did this to you.

Are they gonna show the
video... of me hitting my dad?

They will.

My memories of
me and my dad are...

playing baseball,
hiking together.

He was my coach, and
he was always there for me.

How do I explain...

hurting the man who
loved me most in this world?

I'm here to help
you get through this.

But you have to help me
understand what you've gone through.

Let's start with what was
your attraction to Lumansic?

Lumansic taught me
how to look inward,

find meaning in
the here and now,

stop trying to search
for things I'll never find.

Hmm.

Your stepmother mentioned that your
mom left when you were quite young.

Yeah, I don't even remember
what she looked like.

My dad refused
to show me photos.

Lumansic helped me realize that
deep down I resented him for that.

- Enough to kill him?
- Of course not.

He was my dad and now he's gone.

I can't believe
this is happening.

I wasn't even supposed to
be with my dad that night.

- Where were you supposed to be?
- In a session with Thornton.

Dad wanted to go to Chelsea
Piers. It was a tradition of ours.

If I'd just said no...

Troy, it's gonna be OK.

Troy had a private session with
Thornton every Thursday night at 6pm,

except that night.

A last-minute cancellation.

It is possible that whoever
hypnotized Troy to kill

didn't know about
the change in plans.

Maybe Troy wasn't
supposed to kill his dad.

And maybe Thornton
wasn't the killer after all.

BULL: No, he wasn't.

He was the target.

Troy shouldn't have been with
his father the night of the murder.

He had a standing appointment
with Thornton Grey at that exact time.

Someone wants Thornton
dead? We should warn him.

I see your session went
well with dear leader.

CHUNK: Now we
know he's not the killer,

and frankly I think Lumansic
has gotten a bad rap.

Oh, my God, you totally
drank the Kool-Aid.

BULL: Chunk, right
now this is just a theory.

We don't want you blowing your
cover at Lumansic. We need evidence.

Our insanity defense relies on the
jury accepting that Troy was hypnotized

and someone else was
in control of his actions.

That means they're
gonna have to understand

how and why hypnosis works.

And they're gonna need
to hear from an expert.

Marissa, have Benny prep Amy.

Hmm.

- Chunk, about Lumansic...
- I'm headed there now.

I don't think you should.

Because I disagree with
your assessment of Thornton?

- No...
- I appreciate your concern.

- But I can handle this.
- What I'm trying to...

Bull. Trust me.

So the prosecution will ask,

Dr. Levin, what makes you
qualified to evaluate Troy Dickerson?

I've evaluated over a thousand cases
for both the criminal and civil courts.

Have you ever been
wrong about a patient?

Yes.

How do you live with knowing
that a choice you made

had unintended consequences
on someone's life?

I suppose you have to step back

and think about why you were
in that position in the first place.

Most likely it's because
you've earned the right

to make certain judgment calls,

and the right to make mistakes.

Honest mistakes.

Life-changing
mistakes, nonetheless.

Is everything all right, Benny?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bull thinks I lost
faith in myself.

Why would he think that?

I'm sorry, I... I got off
track. Let's get back to prep.

I'd love to take you
to dinner tonight.

Amy, I... I just got
out of a relationship.

I think you're amazing, but I'm not
ready to jump back into something.

Benny, I think you've
gotten the wrong idea

about why Jason
suggested we connect.

- Apparently I have a new therapist.
- Oh, good for you.

- Bull, you crossed the line.
- What was I supposed to do?

You're spiraling and you're
certainly not opening up to me.

- So you hire me a shrink?
- I wouldn't say "hired."

- I'm paying her in baked goods.
- Don't joke.

This is my life we're
talking about here.

And it's affecting your
work and my work.

What do you want? Hmm?

Want me to admit that...
that... that I slept with Erin?

OK, I slept with Erin, all
right? I... I slept with Erin.

And, yes, she was our client.

It was a mistake and
now it's over. We good?

Not until you're ready to admit
what's really going on with you.

Sleeping with Erin was the
symptom, not the problem.

[BANGS COUNTER]

In the original position,

no one knows where
they'll wind up in society.

If you start with
this foundation,

that's when you
get true compassion.

Chunk.

- Excuse me.
- Really compelling.

Where'd you learn about
Rawls' Theory of Justice?

I read a lot, as do you.

Listen, do you have somewhere
you need to be right now?

- Not necessarily, no.
- Excellent.

I have a surprise for you.

[CHUCKLES]

THORNTON: Flotation therapy.

Helps you visualize,
focus better.

Chunk, I really think this
can help you figure out

why you've struggled
to find your path in life.

Don't worry. I'll be right out
here to talk you through it.

Do you solemnly
swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?

I want you to say
the word "red."

Red.

Yeah, but not to
me. To the jury.

They have to hear it at least 11 times
for it to sink into their subconscious.

Why 11?

Repetition enhances
the power of suggestion.

By tomorrow, they'll be
seeing red without knowing why.

You wanna work it in
organically. Can't be too overt.

That's why I picked "red."

"Magenta" would've been
much harder, so thanks.

- Counselor?
- Yes, Your Honor, I am read-y to go.

We've all seen the video.

We all saw Troy kill his father.

The prosecution has argued
that it is murder, plain and simple.

Do you agree?

I agree that Troy physically
caused his father's death.

But I do not agree that he
should be found guilty of murder.

He doesn't look crazy.

So how are you coming
to that conclusion?

I was asked by the state to give
Troy a psychological evaluation,

and it's my expert opinion that
he was not in control of his actions,

which is the
definition of insanity.

See, that sounds
hard to believe.

Can someone really use
hypnosis to make Troy murder?

Objection. Calls
for speculation.

That makes me red in
the face, Your Honor.

This is not speculation
but expert opinion.

- You may answer the question.
- Yes, it's rare.

But so is Troy.

I believe hypnotic technique
forced him to attack his father

and he's still not
completely aware.

How? He was at a driving range.

AMY: Post-hypnotic suggestion
can be triggered at any time.

Feeling a touch on the shoulder,

hearing a particular
word or phrase, music...

A Red Hot Chili
Peppers song perhaps?

Uh, sure. Triggers can be
a color, a sound, an object.

Maybe something he read.

The trigger must've been something
near where Troy killed his father.

Well, we brought back
everyone who was here that day,

asked them to recreate what
they were doing at the time.

Including playing
the same music.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Closing your eyes
opens your senses.

- Nice swing.
- Yeah, it's not bad.

MAN: Order 17. Philly
cheesesteak, fries, medium soda.

Order 17, pick up, please.

Popcorn?

No. He would have
walked by that earlier.

The trigger had to be
something else. A color, a sound.

[PHONE RINGS]

Sorry. That didn't
happen before the murder.

DANNY: Troy's cellphone.

We went over the call log.

Not his calls. We need
to look at his phone.

Dr. Levin's testimony
swayed jurors three and eight.

- What about juror nine?
- Ooh, hasn't budged.

She's a visual learner.
Seeing is believing.

And now we are gonna show
her the power of hypnosis.

Cable, bring up the surveillance
footage from Chelsea Piers.

- Why?
- I know what triggered Troy to kill.

THORNTON: What do you think?

Well, I think it's
freaky and I like it.

[CHUCKLES]

It allows the mind to open, unfold
its truths, confront its secrets.

Now you can tell me
what's really going on.

How long have you worked at TAC?

Hmm?

Why did Dr. Bull send you here?

We know you're working
for Troy's defense team.

What exactly were
you hoping to find?

Open the door.

How's Troy doing?

Yes, I lied about why
I came to Lumansic.

But everything that I told you about
myself, my life, that was all true.

Don't you ever come back here.

REED: Rachel Grey, you
and your father Thornton Grey

founded Lumansic,
isn't that correct?

It is.

What are you hoping
to get out of Rachel?

Watch and listen closely.

And what about your
vision for Lumansic?

Isn't it true that your father wants to
keep it small but you wanna expand?

Earn more money, more
power, more influence.

We've had many
discussions about the future.

Contentious discussions.

You had to convince him
to create a second campus.

No.

Isn't it true that you and
your father are running a cult?

Absolutely not.

You take advantage of people,
people searching for answers.

You psychologically
manipulate them to your will.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

Do you use hypnosis
on your students?

Sometimes. It's one tool of many
that can help students break through.

Now, what would
you think, Rachel,

if I told you that simply by saying
a specific word over and over,

the... word "red," for
example, yesterday,

that it would cause
everyone on the jury

to wear something red today.

You spent two years training

at the American School for
Behavioral Sciences and Hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is an amplified version of
the technique that I just demonstrated.

What you just demonstrated
is purely persuasion.

And hypnosis is a
very powerful tool

in the hands of a highly
trained individual like yourself.

You could persuade
someone to murder.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

Could you take out
your cellphone, please?

- Objection. Relevance?
- JUDGE: Sustained.

We will show the phone
record is relevant, Your Honor.

Rachel, could you
please call Troy's phone?

- RACHEL: No, I'm not doing that.
- No?

He can't make me do that, right?

No, he can't.

But I can. Ma'am,
dial the phone.

♪ We are the chosen ones

♪ Whoa-oa-oa

♪ Whoa-oa-oa...

It's OK.

Hey!

- Stop!
- Officers.

OFFICER: Get
off him! Get off him!

- What just happened?
- [JUDGE BANGS GAVEL]

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

That was all your
doing, wasn't it?

Helps you to think of me
as a cult leader, doesn't it?

Makes it easier for you to send
people into my house to spy on me,

to destroy my life's work, to
condemn my daughter as a killer.

Just as it helps you to think
of your victims as students?

Makes it easier to steal
their lives and call it tuition?

You should've left us alone.

Then you'd never know the
truth about your daughter.

The night she called
Troy to trigger him,

she thought he was with you.

How's that for enlightenment?

JUDGE: Has the
jury reached a verdict?

On the charge of murder
in the second degree,

we, the jury, find the
defendant, Troy Dickerson,

not guilty by
reason of insanity.

[EXHALES]

♪ Red, red wine...

Congratulations, Reed.

You did it. You won
your first insanity case.

- How does it feel?
- Pretty insane.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Uh, any word on Rachel?

Uh, the police are opening
a formal investigation.

It's likely she'll be charged
with murder and kidnapping.

Uh, don't tell Bull this,

but I wasn't sure that the whole
"red" thing would actually work.

Really?

Nice socks.

DANNY: So you were underwater?

No, I was floating.

It was actually quite peaceful.

Was the peaceful part before
or after you heard the voice

of the crazy cult leader who told
you you were locked in the crazy pod?

You know, this thing about
me being the chosen one,

it got me to thinking,
we both were chosen.

- No, Lumansic rejected me outright.
- I'm not talking about them.

I'm talking about
a group of people

with a fanatical commitment
to a charismatic leader,

a belief that his
way is the only way

and a complete lack of life
outside of the organization.

To the cult of Bull.

Nicely done.

Mmm.

Troy has a long road of
recovery ahead of him.

I'll be sure he gets
all the help he needs.

Thanks. Thanks for
your help with Benny.

- I'm afraid I didn't get very far.
- Far enough, I think.

And what about you,
Jason? How are you doing?

I'm OK... Doctor.

I have Tuesdays at
eight open. Your old slot.

I think you just want my Better
Than Robert Redford, don't you?

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

♪ Hey, good-looking

♪ You got me goin'
out of my mind...

[SIGHS]

I guess it's time I
came clean, huh?

I'm being investigated
by the US attorney's office.

Nine years ago, I put a man named
Hayden Watkins in prison for murder.

DNA evidence has just
proven his innocence.

- You were doing your job.
- No.

The night before the trial started,
I got a call from Long Island PD.

They'd just had a
similar crime, similar MO,

thought it might be my guy.

I just dismissed it because I
was sure that Watkins was guilty.

I put an innocent man
in prison for nine years.

You know what? That's on me.

Benny...

I was wrong.

You haven't lost
faith in yourself.

- I think you lost faith in me.
- No, that's not true.

Yeah, it is true. You
should've come to me with this.

Solving problems is what I do.

- I'm not a client.
- You're more than that.

You're family.

And you're not alone.

If they come after you, they
have to go through me first.
