Lie to Me (2009–2011): Season 2, Episode 18 - Headlock - full transcript

The FBI investigates the murder of an illegal underground fighter, but Dr. Lightman tries to conceal his relationship to the event. Meanwhile Dr. Foster finds out discovers that her new boyfriend may have a big secret.

Attack. Attack him a little more.

Attack it!

Come on! Come on now!

Yo, now! Come on!

Get up! Up! You got this!

Come on! Up, Orlando!

You got it. Move it around.
Move it around. Move it around.

Go for the midsection!
Go for the midsection!

All right.

Come on! Throw him!

Roll out of this. Roll out of this.



Quit tippin' your punches out there.

He's leading with his egg, love.

Yeah, thanks. We got this.

Take a seat, Lightman.

Yeah, but, you know,
trouble is his egg's empty.

He's dead from the neck up.

No, he is... he's going down.

Next.

Better help your friend, Simone.

Yeah! Yeah!

Great win tonight, but
the celebration's over.

Yeah? I put people to sleep,

and tomorrow fight,
they call me sandman.

Well, that's original.



So, what, you fightin' tomorrow?

You got your next date, then?

Si. I need the money.

All right. Come on. I'll drive.

No. You my father now?

No, no, no, no. Give me the keys.

No, I'll do it. Give the...

I'm gonna drive. You ain't drivin'.

No, don't push me. You don't drive.

Why you gotta push me? Give me the keys.

Give me the keys. No, gimme. I got it.

I got it. Why do you fight...

Oi! You scratched me! Crikey!

That hurts.

You fight like a girl, you do.

Hey, everything cool down there?

No, we're fine. It's all fine.

God.

I'll give you... I'll give you a lift.

I'm gonna... I'm taking the bus.

All right. Suit yourself.

Oh, hey! Papi!

Estupido!

Open the door.

I can do it.

Come on. Hey.

Come on.

What do you...

you should just quit your job,

let me take care of you.

Ah, you wouldn't respect me.

Besides, what would your
friends and family think?

Mmm.

Oh, you haven't told
anyone about us, have you?

Mmm...

Mm, no.

Heh.

Mmm.

Hmm.

You comin'? Mm-hmm.

Hey, Dave, your phone.

Bernerd bloody Dillon.

Well, I suppose he was
always gonna crawl out

from under his rock, right?

Assistant special Agent
in charge Bernard Dillon.

Oh. Oh.

So he's Reynolds' new nanny then, is he?

And all things Lightman group.

In this country, we say, "bernard."

You might wanna get that right.

Bernerd!

Dr. Lightman.

We need your help with a murder case.

Sure. Who do you want me to kill?

Very funny.

The kid's name is Raul Campos.

He's 20, from Peru.

He was found last night, 3
gunshot wounds to the chest.

We took the case over

when it was clear that the victim

was participating in
illegal underground fighting.

His fight last night was
caught on a camera phone.

A chip with the video
footage was dropped off

to one of our field offices anonymously.

Torres is looking at it now.

We suspected, uh,
businessman Ron Marshall

to be bankrolling these fights.

These underground fights are
savage, illegal gambling orgies

populated by animals.
This man Marshall's

already slipped through
our fingers once.

Your fingers, right?

No, I mean, you know,
makes it personal...

To you, bernerd.

Look, what happened between us

is old business, Lightman.

I'm a professional with a job to do.

I've moved on.

Peachy.

Look, we're gonna bring suspects
from the fight last night here.

We don't have time for
by-the-book FBI interrogations.

If Marshall even gets wind of
what's going on, he's out of here.

A witness saw the,
uh... the victim Campos

in a heated exchange outside
a bar with an older male...

uh, forties,

Caucasian, 160 pounds,

about 5'8".

Well, you keep me in the loop, then.

I've moved on, too, Bernard.

Right.

Follow me.

How'd you find me?

Marshall got somebody in DMV.

He also got Orlando,

thinks he's the one that killed Raul

because he lost the fight.

Look, Orlando's not a killer.

I need you to prove that.

You're certain he's innocent, are you?

Yeah. We were shootin' pool at
Connor's when Raul was killed.

Look, Simone, I know I'm
only a scientist, right,

but don't insult my
intelligence, all right?

Ok, ok. I'm sorry.

I just...

Orlando's innocent.

I swear.

Please, man.

Marshall's gonna kill him.

He's like a brother to me.

All right, you tell
Marshall that the FBI

are all over him on this one, all right?

The last thing he needs is another
corpse on his hands, all right?

That's it?

Yep. Best I can do.

Good luck. See yourself out.

It's the morgue.

Skin cells were found
under Raul's fingernails.

They're running DNA now.

Um, excuse us?

One minute. I'll be right back.

So what's up?

The DNA under the
dead man's fingernails.

Don't tell me that
scratch is from Campos.

Yeah. I was with him the
night he was murdered.

White male, forties,

lean, devilish good looks.

Ring a bell?

So you were at the fight?

Yeah.

We need to lose the DNA results, Ben.

Excuse me? We?

Yeah. At the very least,
we need to mismanage 'em.

So you think that I'm gonna interfere
with a federal investigation?

Yeah.

That's not gonna happen.

Lightman, if you're innocent,

just... just come clean.

Well, I would,

wouldn't I, but that tosser Dillon,

he's got it in for me.

If he finds out that I'm prime suspect,

he's gonna push for an arrest,

and I'm gonna lose custody of Emily.

So...

I need a bit more time.

Yeah.

Any progress on that footage?

Um, well, the... the clarity's terrible,

so I'm trying to enhance
it, see if I can...

if I can get a better
read on the crowd, uh,

see if anybody's showing
any hostility towards Raul.

Mind if I sit in?

Uh, well, it usually
takes a couple hours, so...

Ok. Well, I'm gonna stick around for it,

so let me know when it's done.

Will do.

Want me to take over?

Ok.

Really? No argument or...

ok.

Come on, Lightman.

Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

Hey, did you see where Lightman went?

He went that way.

All you gotta do is
look after your fighter!

Yo, well, that's what I'm tryin' to do!

That's easy!

Look, I'm tryin' to look after him!

Just do your job, ok?!

Hey!

Am I interrupting something?

What about "do not disturb"
don't you understand?

You tell him about me, did you?

Yo, I thought you said
you weren't interested.

You know, Simone tells
me that you read faces,

you're some sort of scientist.

That's why you come to all my fights?

All right, Raul the upstart,

he gives Orlando a kicking in the ring,

and Orlando does him in. Is that it?

Yeah. You haven't read his face yet.

I thought you'd never ask. Where is he?

That's not a good sign, your eyes.

You're the only judge and jury
he's ever gonna see, ain't you?

Get him out of here.

Yeah, keep your eyes stiff.

I might not be able to control myself.

He's in there, isn't he?

Business is business.

Wouldn't it be better business

if you found out if
Orlando was the real killer

before you did him in?

Shall we?

Ah, shut up.

So, anything I say,

you're gonna get the
truth out of him, is it?

I don't need you to tell
me how to do my business.

Got it?

Yeah.

Now look... look at me, all right?

Now, Simone says that you were

shootin' pool there last
night. Is that right?

I was at my girl's house, Lucia,

all night long.

She made anticuchos.

Well, I'm sold.

Yeah. I mean, scientifically
speaking, that is.

Explain the science to me.

What?

You don't think I'd be able to follow?

Right. Well, look at him, all right?

I mean, he's not scared of you.

All right? I mean,
that's contempt, that is.

He thinks you're just another pansy.

You can't fight like a man.

I mean, there's nothing
more that he'd like to do

than tell you that he killed Raul,

if only to look you in the eye
and show you what a real man is.

Do you follow?

Boss.

What?!

Boss, we got a situation out here.

Boss, it's serious!

I didn't kill Raul.

Don't get up.

Found her wandering in here.

Says she knows you.

Who, me?

That true?

I never seen her before in my life.

My name's Sabrina.

I, uh... I heard you
were lookin' for fighters.

Who told you that?

Oh. Yeah. We might have met her.

At that, um... that karaoke place
in that dump. What was it called?

Hyattsville. There it is.

Yeah. Yeah, right.

Damn girl, you clean up good.

I barely recognized you.

Yo, you gotta see the
hand speed on this one.

Ridiculous, for real.

Yeah.

I don't meet fighters here.

You never came here,

and you never come
here again. You got me?

Go.

Now what about Orlando?

Orlando stays with me.

Are you out of your tiny mind?

Hey, not that tiny.

I just cut you out of
an incriminating video.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Someone filmed you

on their cell phone at
the fight last night,

so I thought I'd come over
here and give you a heads-up.

Well, you could have
called me, couldn't you?

Well, I tried, like, about 10 times.

And now the FBI's saying that
they're gonna post a reward

for any more footage, so I
don't know what you're up to,

but you don't have much
time before they find you.

All right. Well, just
let them find me, then.

You don't really mean that.

Look, I go to those fights
just to look at the faces.

Right. And you read "playboy"
just for the articles.

Don't be daft.

Look at you.

You're all wired up
after your Sabrina act.

Yeah. Takes one to know one.

You're off this, Torres.
I mean that, right?

Did they come out yet?

2 of Marshall's men just left,

but he's still in there with Orlando,

who's a dead man for
something he didn't do.

No, he's not innocent in
this. He's up to his ears.

I'll see you back at the office, right?

Yeah. Pleasure's all mine, by the way.

No need to thank me.

You're off this. I mean it.

I mean it, Torres.

Chesapeake boat charters.

Hi.

Hey.

Receptionist stepped away.

No one saw me come in, so...

Your secret is safe.

What's the occasion?

I have to cancel tonight.

Um, some potential foster parents

are coming to the youth center,
and I have to interview 'em.

I brought this...

To buy your forgiveness.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to you.

I promise.

Forensics.

Yeah. This is Agent Carl Washington.

Yeah, I need you to pull that rush order

off of DNA sample 2699b.

Yeah, that's right.
The Raul Campos case.

Yeah. We're checking right now

to see if the sample was contaminated.

All right. Thank you.

What are you doin' here?

Was, uh, just lookin' for Lightman.

Yeah, you and me both.

Oh, we, uh... we found the next of kin.

Raul was wiring money
to an aunt in Peru.

She said his brother's
here lookin' for him.

Foster's waiting for you.

All right. I'll be right there, sir.

My brother left a year ago

after a fight with my father.

Nobody knows where he went.

We all miss him.

So what did he and
your father fight about?

I can't really remember.

I think you do.

Why don't you tell us?

He wanted to be a rich man.

That's why he came here.

My father was angry about that.

He called it irresponsible.

It bothered you, too.

It was selfish.

He wanted to walk away
from his obligations,

from his family.

I should have never have encouraged him.

How are you feeling?

Like my soul's been ripped away.

Just Marshall and the main guy.

You got a light?

You clear everything out of the office?

Yeah. We're good.

You smell that?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Fire! Fire!

Fire!

Take that! Put it out!

Come on!

You gotta be...

if that don't put it out, bring...

Right. Get a move on.

Come on. Get a move on.

Come on. Come on. Come
on. Come on. Come on.

All right?

Get him out of here.

Can I get, um, 3 club
sodas, please, darlin'.

All right, Orlando,

the reason I saved your ass...

All right, was so I could
ask you this question.

Why'd you kill Raul?

I didn't kill nobody.

Look at me when you say that.

Come on. I dare you. Look at me.

Nah. You see, save your breath.

'Cause your eyes just
did the talking for you.

I just accused you of murder...

Right? And you're more worried
about what she's thinking.

Why is that? You think
that she killed Raul?

Is that it?

Yo, get real. Why would
I off another fighter?

You know, I think she's got
your nuggets in a vise, Orlando.

You wanna talk to me about that?

I just didn't...

thank you, love.

I just didn't wanna
let her down, all right?

After all you done for me,

I just don't wanna disappoint you.

You know, I don't think

you're dead from the neck up.

What is that supposed to mean?

Did you throw the fight?

Estás loco. ¿sabes?

Está loco que estás hablando.

'Cause I don't think that
was your plan going in,

but something made you
go down. What was it?

No, no, no. You're crazy.

Maybe we should get out of here.

That's a good idea. Wait.

Wait. Look.

I'm the only thing standing

between you and the feds right now,

let alone immigration.

Scooch up, gorgeous.

All right, fine.

Me and Raul, we were close.

Ok?

We're from the same
part of Peru. ¿sabes?

You always tell me hate
your fighters, right?

Well, I didn't hate Raul.

And look where it got you.

You don't understand. I
needed to help him, all right?

Yeah, something was makin' him run hot.

I'm not just talkin'
about when he was drunk

and he was braggin' about beatin' you.

What was it?

He said it was the shining path,

the senderistas de Peru, all right?

They knew he was here, and
they were coming for him.

He said it was gonna be his last fight

before he left town. That's all I know.

So you decided you were...
you were gonna help him, right?

You take the count.
You gift him the cash.

Is that it?

Good.

Hey. So we're diggin'
into Raul's whereabouts.

I think we're gettin'
close to finding out...

just a second.

Asac Dillon.

What do you mean our
DNA request was pulled?

By who?

Well, put it back on.

Yeah.

For some reason, Agent Carl Washington

pulled our DNA sample off the rush list.

I had to put it back on the fast track,

but we may have a problem.

I'm gonna look into it.

You guys stay on your toes.

Yes, sir.

Come on! You got this!

Give it to him, baby!

Hey, there's something
weird with this FBI footage.

What?

Well, it jumped like it was edited.

It should be...

21 minutes, 43 seconds.

But onscreen, it's 21
minutes, 36 seconds.

We lost 7 seconds.

It's probably on the
hard drive. I'll find it.

Uh, listen. I forgot. Lightman called.

He said he wanted you to, uh, get ready

to present your research
on lowland gorillas.

When?

This afternoon.

But I have at least 2
days more work on that.

Well, better get on it.

Well...

What about this case?

I'll cover it.

Go do your thing.

Have you seen Lightman?

I've got a person of interest
I can't hold too long.

Uh, I think he's at lunch,

but if you... I can
start the questioning,

stall till he comes back.

Ok.

These were taken from video footage

of the illegal fight
you set up last night,

and it turns out it was at a warehouse

owned by a relative of yours.

I don't know nothing about a fight.

Your uncle sold copper out of
that warehouse for 26 years.

What's that got to do with me?

We know about everything.

We put a pin in every location
where you funded a fight.

I never funded anything.

You know...

You're a dead ringer

for this girl I know.

I guess we all have a twin.

Yeah.

Apparently mine is a very dangerous man.

Can we have a word?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Marshall's lying.

No... no, he's not.

Are you afraid of him?

No.

Damn it.

Where's Lightman?

No offense, but with a chess player

like Marshall, I need a pro.

Well, he's not gonna
read anything different.

If you want me to try again, I will.

Fine.

Let's go.

Hi.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I was just checkin' in, you know.

Why don't you just
come right out with it?

I didn't wanna...

Intrude.

Yeah. That's it. Yeah. No.

Yeah, because that is
not like you at all.

Yes.

I'm seeing someone.

There. You happy now?

So you've got my back,

knowing my... my luck
with men as you do.

Is... is that what you
wanted to check in about?

No.

Huh.

Well, mostly yes.

Great.

All right. Thank you.

No, really, thank you. I mean that.

But... but now can... can you try

a-and do your best

not to stick your nose
I-into my business?

Yeah. I can do that. Yeah.

Turns out our witness
who saw the prime suspect

has a history of drug abuse,

putting his credibility in question.

I need you to talk to him.

I'll be right there.

I need you to take this one.

Ok.

Thought I gave 'em my description.

You did.

After taking a few
hits of meth, it seems.

Were you strung out last
night when you saw Raul?

Nah.

Nah, I swear.

I didn't have any money.

You've had a couple of run-ins

with the law for drug possession.

Did you think giving
an eyewitness account

would earn you some goodwill?

No.

Higher voice pitch. That was a yes.

Did you really see a guy with Raul,

or was it made up to
earn brownie points?

I'm tellin' you I saw him.

Kinda looked like that guy.

The suspect looked like this guy?

Yeah.

You heard of the shining path, right?

What, the senderistas?

They're a guerilla group out of Peru.

Yeah. They make the vikings look

like little boys looking
for a good wrestle.

Well, Raul was scared of them.

He thought they were
after him for some reason.

Lightman, what are you doin'?

I mean, what does this kid mean to you?

He was a good boy.

You know, he was a little
misguided, perhaps, but... yeah.

Kind of like you at one point, huh?

What, you my shrink now, are you?

Nah, nah. I'm just sayin'.

I mean, you put your nuts on the
boot end of a criminal enterprise,

and I'm tryin' to understand why.

I have my reasons.

All right. Well, look,
dollars to doughnuts,

Raul was killed by
somebody in the fight world,

maybe even Marshall.

No. Raul was the atm, right?

Why'd you pull the
trigger on a good payday?

Well, answer could be on the tape.

Oh, and by the way,
Dillon put your DNA test

back on rush status.

The results should be
here in a few hours.

Do I look worried?

That's him. That's him. That's the guy.

That's who was fightin' with the kid.

I think you've made a
terrible mistake, mate.

I saw you with him.

You saw me? Yeah.

You absolutely positive, are you?

Yeah. Yeah?

You saw this face in the dark

with that astigmatism, did you?

Who are you?

This is Dr. Cal Lightman.

He runs this place.

Also live in this place.

So you're saying you
were here last night?

Oh, yeah. I was with him.

Yeah.

Come on. Let's go.

Maybe it wasn't him.

Now, did you really see an astigmatism?

No.

You're learning, eh?

Ok, so I saw something here.

Right there.

Raul flashed fear.

Yeah. He's...

Looking at something to his left, right?

Yeah. That would be you.

You know, park your mouth, Torres.

All right? Put your brain in gear.

All right, let's look at
the other people there,

preferably behind me.

All right, freeze it there.

Um, push in.

Push in. Push in.

Push, push, push.

Right. Right about now,

all right, th-the
fight is getting really,

really good, and, uh, the
crowd is goin' bonkers, right?

All except for this guy.

Yeah. His... his body
language is completely relaxed.

He's not there for a fight.

So how did your
girlfriend track this down?

She called the charter
company, and, uh... thank you.

And pretended to be
her fiancé's assistant.

Huh. Well, if I had to put money on it,

the guy charters a boat out
of Baltimore for 5 hours,

he's probably a drug smuggler.

So how long has your
girlfriend known her fiancé?

A few months.

Well, she should be careful.

I don't know what I'm gonna tell her.

She's in love with him.

All right, look, you know,

if your girlfriend can get that
passport and maybe his cell phone,

we can look into it, you know.

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Yeah. Give us a minute.

Have a seat.

All right.

What's goin' on?

You impersonated Agent Washington

to delay the prime suspect's DNA report.

Who are you covering for?

I've got something for you. Oh, yeah.

Right there.

This is a picture,

all right, from the fight.

Well, I'm in it.

You were at an illegal fight

just to study faces? Correct.

For you, no extra charge.

Did you know Raul Campos?

Not personally.

No, but I seen him fight.

Your interest in which
was purely professional.

100%.

90%.

Ok...

80, actually, percent.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Well, I... I misjudged you...

Bernard. I did.

I... because of the, you know, history

between you and I, I...

you once wrote a report on me

based on a single interview session

which affected my promotion schedule,

knocked me back easily 2 years.

No, I did do that. Yep.

Which is why I thought
you were gonna come in here

and press charges and
strip me of my FBI contract.

And what about you, Agent Reynolds?

He doesn't give a toss about politics.

He's... he's all about
getting the job done. He...

"Big picture" Ben, we
call him around here.

Sir, Lightman just needed more
time to canvass his fight contacts.

Right. Um, now...

This...

Is the man you want.

All right?

Now, Reynolds here already has my people

working on getting, you
know, better resolution

on the license plate, so...

He's all over it.

Ah, you're a sight for sore eyes.

I thought you were working late.

Yeah. The foster parents canceled.

What are you doin' here?

Uh, I was just, um... I was
looking for an earring...

That I lost.

I thought maybe you
were looking for this.

It wasn't where I left it.

Who's Marco Gianelli?

This passport is for work.

That's all I can say.

It's for the youth center?

Yes and no.

Just tell me the truth.

I have to go.

I work for the DEA.

I'm an undercover Agent.

I've been at Covington
for the last 6 months

monitoring 2 ms-13 gangbangers

that we believe are part of
a new drug cartel in Mexico.

Are you a real psychologist?

Yes.

Look, I've withheld information,

but nothing that I've told you is false,

except meeting of the foster parents.

Your real name, what is it?

Dave Atherton.

I'm just thinking...

About you and I, th-this...

if this was part of your cover.

No.

Absolutely not, Gillian.

The last thing that I expected

on this job was to fall in love.

And telling you everything
is incredibly stupid...

And dangerous.

But I don't wanna lose you.

You haven't.

When do I get to meet
my brother's killer?

Real soon. I'll be right back.

You sure that's him?

Well, it was a rental
car that was in the photo,

and his name is on the contract, so...

Incoming.

Dr. Lightman.

We just got the prime
suspect's DNA back.

You've got some explaining to do.

You concealed a personal
relationship with the victim.

Well, I was just trying
to help, you know.

And you thought I was the dirty one.

No, I wasn't sure that
you were dirty, per se.

You know, I... I just... I
couldn't be 100% sure at the time.

How sure were you? 90%? 80%?

I didn't kill Raul,

you know, if that's where this is going.

How can I be 100% sure?

Find the real killer?

How do you explain the
fight outside the bar?

He was drunk.

I was gettin' his keys.

Don't take me for a fool.

Do you have any idea how overwhelming

the evidence is against you?

Look, I'm not taking you for a tool.

Fool!

Whatever. Whatever. Look, Bernard...

Just give me 10 minutes
in the cube with Juan.

So you came here to take
your brother back home.

Right? But you threatened him,

and then he ran away.

Why would I threaten my own brother?

I don't know. Um...

You're a senderista, right?

You know, you'd threaten your
own grandmother, wouldn't you?

I fight for the revolution.

So did my father, and so did Raul!

All right, calm down.

Calm down.

But Raul, he got away, didn't he?

He... he escaped.

Now, I don't know, but it seems to me

if you join the shining path,

that's a lifetime's membership.

You came here to remind
him of that, didn't you?

Or to, you know... kck kck...
kill him if he didn't see sense.

I never found my brother.

You shot him...

Didn't you?

You shot him in cold blood.

I was still looking
for him this morning.

That's enough, Lightman.

Mr. Campos, you're free to go.

Oh, what? Are you nuts?

I just hooked the bastard!

Juan.

¿Qué hay?

After the fight, right.

Raul was happy. He
was excited to go home.

Tell him that.

He talked to Raul yesterday afternoon.

All units, go.

Juan!

Juan! Don't you move!

Don't move! Don't you move!

Get on the ground. Get on the ground.

Put your hands on the ground.

Get your hands behind you.

Juan!

Get up.

Let's go.

Aye, aye.

Hey.

Uh, Cal, you remember Dave, don't you?

Yeah. Uh, from juvie.

Right? Eh, burns. Dave burns. Yep.

Yeah. Yeah? Right.

Did I get that right? Or did
I make a mistake, 'cause I'm...

no, 'cause I'm terrible with names.

No, no, no. You got
it right. How are you?

I'm terrible with
names. I'm, you know...

Um, did I say something
there that surprised you?

Or is it... no, no. I've got it right.

No, 'cause it's been donkey's years
since she's had a bit, you know...

Of anything special in her
life, right? I mean, you know,

not that there's anything
wrong with her. Far from it.

I mean, she's just a little bit...

Awkward.

Awkward is good. Yeah.

Heh. Ok.

So you've had your fun, Cal.

All right. Just talk amongst
yourself for a minute. Hey.

Dave, do me a favor, all right?

She's my best friend, all right?

She's my best friend

and is probably the only reason
that this place hasn't gone under,

so you do me a favor, you know. Just...

Handle with care, you know?

Don't let him scare you off. Heh.

I thought I told you to...

talk amongst myself. Right.

Yeah. I got bored.

Really? Mmm.

Oh.

Will you give us a second?

Sure.

He seems nice.

Cal.

What?

You ok?

What, me? Yeah.

I'm fantastic. How 'bout you? You ok?

Illegal underground fights, Cal?

You could have told me.

You know, just because you share all
your dirty little secrets, all right,

doesn't mean I have to.

He's a good man, Cal.

Yep. That's all you need to know.

That's all I'm gonna share.

Ok. Ok.

Yeah. No, I got it.

No. No more questions, right?

I'm good.
