Lie to Me (2009–2011): Season 2, Episode 19 - Pied Piper - full transcript

The future of The Lightman Group could be in jeopardy when it appears that an executed prisoner that Dr. Lightman helped convict may have been innocent of the crime.

Beato Michaeli Archangelo,

beato Loanni Baptistae,

sanctis apostalies
Petro et Paolo.

Confiteor deo...

Faye. Charlie.

Dr. Lightman.

I'm sorry about, um, Dave and Sue.

Yeah, to lose their son
and then die in a car crash.

Life is so unfair.

Beato Michaeli archangelo,

sanctis apostalie Petro et paolo.



It's time.

It's about time they killed this monster

for what he did to our nephew.

Death by injection's too good for
this unrepentant son of a bitch.

Ah. Well, what can I say?

Confiteor deo omnipotenti,

beatae Mariae semper virgini.

You ok?

Ah, don't answer that.

I'll shut up now.

... Omnipotenti, beatae
Mariae semper virgini,

beato Michaeli archangelo.

I'm an innocent man.

Go to hell.



The pied piper was a rat catcher

who was tricked and didn't get paid.

He stole the children of Hamelin
so the rich would remember the day.

I didn't take little Rex.

The pied piper did.

I need to talk to the governor.

Cal.

Um, no. You see, he's telling the truth

when he says he didn't take
the boy. Can I speak to the...

have you lost your
mind? Is he on the phone?

- Is that the governor on the phone?!
- What are you doing?

The governor can't speak to you.

He can't speak to me, or he
won't speak to me? Come on.

Oh, no. I'm good. Come on.

For 2 weeks, this guy makes
terrifying phone calls to the family,

kidnaps their 8-year-old
son, and brutally murders him.

He deserves to die.

Big talk is easy when
you're not the executioner.

You think I'm afraid of that?

Show me the switch, I'd
be happy to throw it.

Yeah, well, it's gross that he's had

3 hots and a cot for 17 years,

but the real issue's that Jason Wilkie

randomly chose my nephew.

It could have been anyone's son.

Putting him to death,

I mean, that's about
ensuring public safety

and deterring other crimes.

That was Charlie Sheridan,
uncle of the murder victim,

speaking to us earlier.

Jason Wilkie never
confessed to the kidnapping

and gruesome murder of 8-year-old
Rex Sheridan 17 years ago.

A last-minute stay of execution

could only come from
the governor of Virginia.

Can't believe Lightman is in there.

Why is Lightman in there?

It's the first case he worked on that
led to a death-penalty conviction.

Plus there's the Zoe connection.

This just in.

Jason Wilkie was just pronounced dead,

the 104th person to die by execution

in the state of Virginia since 1976.

Hey. I need the case files
for the Wilkie trial...

the transcripts, the tapes... the lot.

Go to City Hall.

I... I can't. It'll take too long.

And you kept copies. I know you did.

You made the paper.

Look, it's over, Cal. Please,

for both our sakes.

Look, I saw Wilkie lie dozens
of times during his trial,

all right, but last night,
he was telling the truth.

Wait. So you're telling me,

the woman who prosecuted Wilkie

based in large part on your science,

is that you got it wrong?

No, I didn't get it wrong.

When? Last night or 17 years ago?

Both.

How's that possible?

I don't know. That's what
I'm trying to figure out.

I didn't do it, I swear.

- Do what?
- Oh, good.

I thought you guys
were fighting about me.

No, we're not fighting.
We're just having...

We're not fighting. We were
having a work-related discussion.

Here you are.

Mwah!

So, hey, congrats on making the paper.

I thought teenagers didn't
read newspapers anymore.

They do when their dad
goes nuts at an execution.

Yeah, well, don't let it
go to your head, all right?

You ready for school?

Uh, yeah. I forgot to tell
you I don't need a ride.

Hannah's parents just
got her a new Prius...

hint, hint... so she's picking me up.

Look, I need those files, so, please.

I need you to hear something.

Now, this is the call
that Rex Sheridan's parents

received 17 years ago

just days before he was kidnapped.

I'm gonna get you.

Ready or not, here I come.

All right, now get this.

You know Faye and Charlie Sheridan,

the aunt and uncle of that same
little boy that got murdered?

Well, Mrs. Sheridan came back home

after taking the kids
to school this morning,

found this message on
their answering machine.

I'm gonna get you.

Ready or not, here I come.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Well, maybe some clown is just

playin' silly buggers, you know,

after watching Wilkie on tv all week.

Well, look at the sound wave analysis.

This is new FBI software.

Each voice has features
as unique as fingerprints.

The 2 callers are identical,

17 years apart.

This is no copycat.

Do you think that
Jason Wilkie could have

made this recording
before he was arrested?

Well, if the governor had
taken my bloody phone call,

we'd know for sure, wouldn't we?

Well, doesn't it prove
it wasn't Jason Wilkie?

Did we help execute an innocent man?

I could do this alone...

if you'd prefer.

You think I got the
wrong person 17 years ago.

Don't you?

Yes.

I think you could have made a mistake.

So do you.

Zoe was a young prosecutor

eager to get a conviction,

and you wanted to help her.

You still do.

Do you charge by the hour for this?

Classic. Deflection.

Classic Cal Lightman.

No, look. I saw a man
executed last night.

Go on.

Well, I... I saw something on
his face I'd never seen before.

Well, what did you see then?

Um, well, I don't
really know what it was.

But you need to follow it
to the ends of the earth,

no matter what, knowing you.

All right.

Come on, then.

Have you reached your children?

Abby and Brady are upstairs.

Our oldest son, Oliver,

he's driving back to
college in Baltimore.

We haven't been able to reach him yet,

but the FBI is waiting for him there.

Oh, my God. Brady just turned 8.

Rex was 8 when he was abducted.

Vinyl, still the best, eh?

It's brilliant.

It's the best.

The heavy metal piece,
that's fantastic there.

Excuse me. What are you doing?

I thought you might have had a safe.

That sign means a lot to us.

Oh, really?

The home fed diner

is the first property
my father purchased.

Oh. No offense intended.

So where's the tape?

What tape?

The one that you used to fake the...

the voice mail you just got,

one from 17 years ago,

the creepy nursery rhyme tape.

That one. Where is it?

You think we faked that message?

Oh. Alphabetized books.

Ah, that's a red flag if ever I saw one.

Hey. Wait a minute!

Charlie, you got a little
quiet all of a sudden,

you know, for someone
who's got such a loud mouth.

You can't come in here and...

No, that message that you claim

you got, that was a hoax.

I mean, you've been on tv for years.

You've made a career out of
getting Jason Wilkie executed.

Well, now he's been done, hasn't he?

So how are you gonna
maintain your victim status?

What's wrong with you?

First Wilkie did it.
Then he didn't. Now this?

Either you enjoy
inflicting emotional pain,

or you're a complete
fraud, Dr. Lightman.

Well, you're right.

Sorry.

I'm... I'm sorry about the books, yeah,

but sometimes you have to use
a pickax to get at the truth,

you know what I mean?

You may work with the FBI,

but I want you out of my house.

I understand

completely.

The FBI initially had 4 other
suspects besides Jason Wilkie...

a school bus driver, a homeless man,

a phone company repairman,
and a supervisor.

You know, they never pinpointed
the actual source of the calls.

Couldn't trace 'em for some reason.

Does Lightman seem weird to you?

Uh, well, he's rude, impatient, distant.

He seems pretty normal to me.

Yeah, but isn't that weird?

He may have helped
execute an innocent man,

and he has no emotional reaction.

Doesn't that make him a sociopath?

Or it's just a mask.

Where is he? I know he's here.

Dr. Lightman's at a meeting across town.

Can I help you, Mr. Wilkie?

Dr. Lightman lied

back when he said Jason
committed that crime.

You turned Jason in to the authorities.

Because I thought he
might be involved somehow.

Dr. Lightman is the one
who said he was sure.

He's the one who convinced the jury

to put my brother on death row.

The facts of this case have not changed.

The calls are happening again.

I saw it on the news.

The real killer is still alive,

and Jason i... is dead now, and...

what have I done?

Sir, why don't we go sit down?

No. Listen.

You tell Lightman
that I am suing his ass

and the state of Virginia in
the wrongful death of my brother.

All right, Faye, we got
this whole system set up

so that when your home phone
rings, it'll ring here as well.

Which will keep me out of your hair.

Now, look, if another call comes in,

don't panic, ok? Just
stick with the script

that Dr. Foster's wrote out for you.

Let's rehearse again.

Is that him?

Hello.

Mrs. Sheridan, it's Noah Benson.

It's my son's roommate.

Noah, is everything all right?

Um, an FBI agent is
here looking for Oliver.

He's still not here yet,
and no one knows where he is.

So Oliver was auditioning

for the men of Fincher college calendar.

We found a schedule on his computer.

He, uh, had an appointment with
a photographer this afternoon,

which may have been the
last person to have seen him.

What aren't you telling me, Ben?

Look, there's a lot of people

down at headquarters that don't think

you should be involved in this case.

Why? Because it's too personal?

Or, uh, 'cause they think
I've lost my marbles?

Or that I've already made a mistake
and got an innocent man executed?

- They didn't say that.
- Yeah, but you did.

Right there.

Look, I'm not the enemy here, Lightman.

Really?

Really.

Prove it.

Oliver Sheridan was here
for about, uh, 30 minutes.

Do you have any idea where he went?

None.

See, I was expecting
lads in varsity jackets,

not meat and 2 veg.

Yeah, well, that's what sells.

Yeah. Fair enough.

So where's your
pictures of Oliver, then?

Uh, it's on the second
shelf, red folder.

I'm on a deadline here.

Right.

No. No, no, no.

He's... he's dressed
like an eskimo here.

Um, where's your calendar pics?

Look, just 'cause a guy is good-lookin'

doesn't mean the
camera's gonna love him.

So how did he handle
this rejection, then?

He was disappointed,
but he took it well.

Well, you... you can't open
that without a search warrant.

Really?

I tell you what. If you're not ashamed

of anything in there,

all right, you can call the cops.

Yeah.

Didn't think so.

Just stop him.

What do you got there?

"Young beach studs."

Huh.

"Fraternity fun."

Uh, "21 and hot."

It's research.

All right, I win. You owe me 10 bucks.

See, whenever anyone says, uh,

"it's for research," I win.

Um, if... if they
say, "that's not mine,"

then he wins, so cough up.

There you go.

Thank you very much. Congrats.

I think that this calendar thing,

I think it's just an excuse for you

to get young men naked
in your apartment.

I run a business.

Really?

What's the matter with your leg?

What?

You heard me.

Nothing.

Aah! Jeez!

God!

Ouch.

Liar. Let's look at it.

Ah! Heh heh.

I fell.

See, I think you got fresh with Oliver.

He rejected you. You got angry...

and violent.

So what happened? Did you kill him?

Look, he's the one who got violent.

I rubbed his shoulder,

and he hit me with a golf club and left.

Do you know where he was going?

Oh, that's a no.

Ah, come on. You're fishing for a job.

Why, because Jack Rader's made it
clear that he appreciates my research,

that I'm welcome there,

and I have the most
leverage with him now?

Let's face it. This ship is sinking.

So the rats flee.

Well, you know, news of Lightman's
mistake is already out there,

and once this lawsuit is filed,

this company is finished.

Even if we win, it'll be too late.

Lightman's reputation'll be destroyed.

Ours'll be damaged alongside it.

What about... what about loyalty?

Well, you know, the way Lightman
insults me on a daily basis,

blind loyalty would
just be self-loathing.

And the best time to look for a
job is when you already have one.

I need you to pull up
Jason Wilkie's final words.

The pied piper was a rat catcher

who was tricked and didn't get paid.

He stole the children of Hamelin
so the rich would remember the day.

I didn't take little Rex.

The pied piper did.

There are theories that the pied piper

is the symbol of death,

that the fairy tale was concocted

to explain a horrible
tragedy where children died.

Any news about Oliver Sheridan?

He's unaccounted for,

but that doesn't definitely
mean that he's been kidnapped.

You don't believe that.

Do you expect us to
just share this delusion

that Lightman is infallible?

That Jason Wilkie might
not have been innocent?

Without Lightman, you'd be in some
university basement doing research,

and you'd still be a
glorified baggage handler.

Maybe instead of polishing
up your résumés,

you ought to think about what
you can do to help Lightman.

Zoe.

Uh, Cal's not here.

Um, actually, I came to talk to you.

I'm worried about Cal.

He seems to be handling
things in his own unique way.

He won't even speak
to me about the case.

He won't even return my phone calls.

I was hoping you could
talk to him, Gillian.

You were the only one who
could always get through.

That's funny. I always
thought that about you.

Heh.

The truth is there's probably
only one person that can reach him.

I can fly over the moon.

I can fly over the moon, ok?

I... I can swim under the sea.

The only one I tell
my secrets to is Beth.

My poodle.

Right.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's going on?

Nothin'.

So Foster sent you over
here to check on me, did she?

Mm-hmm, yeah. Her and mom.

Oh.

You tell 'em I'm fine.

Actually, I need to
talk to you about mom.

She's been acting, uh, depressed lately,

different.

Well...

she is.

But she's a strong woman.

She'll get through it.

I mean, I know what's going on.

I know it has to do with that
Wilkie guy who was executed.

Yeah. She thinks we
might have made a mistake,

he might be innocent.

Well, was he?

I don't know.

We can rule out the homeless man

and the phone repairman
based on the old videos,

but we're still looking
at the school bus driver

and the phone company supervisor.

Well, the problem with all these

old suspects is lack of motive.

I mean, this... whoever did this

is probably a raving
lunatic anyway, so...

Hey! I found something in
Wilkie's old interview, right?

He's trying to sound crazy 'cause he's
trying to get off on an insanity plea,

but when he says

he only tells his secrets
to his poodle, Beth,

he's not fakin' it.

He had an ex-girlfriend.

Her name was Beth Lansford.

I think maybe he tells
his secrets to her.

Beth's the key.

Any idea where she is?

Yeah. I spoke to her mum.

She signed into a psychiatric
hospital 2 days ago,

which is a bit of a
coincidence, don't you think?

Cal, let me give it to you straight, ok,

'cause you don't seem to get it.

Nobody cares about Wilkie's
dog or his ex-girlfriend.

Excuse me?

You're off this case,

and this comes from the top.

That's the Sheridan home phone.

You might wanna get that.

Hello.

What's green and red
and goes really fast?

Frog in a blender.

A frog in a blender.

You have a really beautiful voice.

You remind me of my son Oliver
when he was a little boy.

He loves riddles, too,

um, and baseball and ice cream.

Good. Good. She keeps
humanizing the victim.

What's your name?

Do you wanna know where Oliver is?

I do.

Yes, I do. I miss him very much.

Then tell me how you play
the game bloody murder.

You get in a circle with
everyone, and then you...

That's wrong.

Ah, damn it.

The call's comin' up as if it's comin'

from 300 different cell
phone numbers in Virginia.

We'll never get a trace.

I'm gonna see Beth.

Go home, Lightman. I'm serious.

You try and do anything
related to this case,

and the FBI will drop
the entire Lightman group.

And quite frankly, you're
startin' to sound a little insane.

Really?

Really.

I was hopin' you'd say that.

He's a bully, and he's a racist.

And just 'cause he's in the FBI
doesn't make him a God, right?

Besides, they're telling
me to do him in, so...

The, uh, voices?

Yeah. What, you can't hear 'em?

And they're actually
telling you to kill him?

Yeah. Under a bus or, you
know, just shoot him. Whatever.

Do you own a gun?

Oh, yeah, I do. Course I do.

Yeah, it's my right.
Yeah. Second amendment.

And what's this FBI agent's name?

Why?

What, you gonna warn him, are you?

Heh heh.

Look, the point is that
I'm the victim here.

He's walking around. He's telling
everyone I'm a psycho, all right?

When he's the one
that's driving me crazy.

Look, just calm down. I'm
dealing with it, all right?

I would like you to, uh, stay with us

for a while, Mr. Stein.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no. I
just came here to get those...

you know, those little white
pills, the ones that help you sleep.

I'm afraid I have to
hold you for 72 hours

for, uh, being a danger to others.

Can I have jello?

No cheekin' your meds, Beth.

Let me see you swallow 'em.

Good. Thank you.

Right, Professor.

Morning, Stein.

Steen.

Steen.

What do you got?

Cheer up, Ralph.

It's a cheery place, this,
isn't it? Laugh a minute.

What are you in for? No,
don't tell me. Let me guess.

OCD? Panic attacks?

Agoraphobia.

Nymphomania.

I am suicidal. Now leave me alone.

Oh! Suicide.

I know a thing or two about suicide

from, you know, an intimate
perspective, you might say.

Mind if I join you?

Did you know Jason Wilkie
named his poodle after you?

Who the hell are you?

Me? I'm just another nut case
lookin' for answers, love.

Hey, hey, hey. Nurse.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, you don't wanna do that.

If you call for help, I
will bust your little game.

Game?

You're not suicidal.

You're not even depressed.

What you are is scared.

You're scared for your life.

That's why you're hidin' out in here.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

Yeah, I do.

I do.

You're in the paranoid chair.

It's... it's the best
seat in the house, really,

'cause no one can sneak up on you.

See, depressives, they
retreat into themselves,

but you, you're watchin' everybody.

What's your point?

My point is that you checked in here

the day that Wilkie was executed.

Right?

Nothin'?

Really? What, you all right now?

Nurse!

Nurse, I've got... I got
something to tell you.

No. No, it's o... uh, I'll...

I'll tell you what you wanna know.

Can I trouble you for a latte?

That's a bit rude, isn't it?

You were sayin'?

A couple of days ago, I got a
call from an old friend of Jason's.

He said he was watching me,

that people might ask questions.

He said if I said anything
about him and Jason,

he would hunt me down and kill me.

Who was he?

I don't know his real name.

Jason called him...

What? What'd he call him?

The pied piper.

The pied piper.

How did Jason know him,
this pied piper character?

He said that they met as kids

when they were at
some summer music camp.

Now, look, I just...

I had one lager too many last night.

I've called my friend. We're all square,

so I'm ready to be released.

And what about the voices
telling you to kill him?

What voices? Nah, that
was just the beer talking.

You don't believe me, do you?

Well, Mr. Stein, uh...

Steen.

Steen. This is what we
call a flight to recovery.

It's always short-lived.

Look, doctor, I do not
have a mental illness.

Terrific. Truly.

Well, if you still
don't have one in 2 days,

you'll be discharged.

Well, it was worth a try.

So we found Oliver's car
in a ditch off route 4.

Looks like somebody may
have run him off the road.

We found this nearby.

That's Oliver's favorite jacket.

Hello.

What feeds on human blood 5 times a day?

I don't know. Why don't you tell me?

Lice.

What insects fly alone in the dark?

Do you give up?

Locusts.

Please, where's Oliver?

I know, but you don't.

What makes you think
I can break this hold?

Well, you're the lawyer. You tell me.

Well, you got into this
mess by threatening violence.

You could have always
checked in voluntarily.

No, I needed to be on the locked
ward so I could talk to Beth.

When she mentioned
the pied piper, she was

talking about a real person, so
now I need to get out of here.

Well, you could call
Foster and Reynolds.

They could always handle it.

I already used up my phone
privilege when I called you.

So are you gonna help me or what?

No.

Though I find it fascinating

that you feel like I'm
the only one you can call,

and yet we can't even have
a real adult conversation.

Right. What do you wanna know?

Why don't you try telling
me how you really feel?

All right. I'm, um...

I'm upset,

and I'm scared,

and I'm really, really, really rattled.

I give up.

What, you actually want me to try

to convince the doctor
that you're not insane?

Well, it's worth a shot, right?

Locust and darkness.

None of this is random. He has a plan.

Also, he got angry when Faye didn't
know the rules to bloody murder.

He's controlling and
very detail-oriented.

It's the 10 plagues.

Frogs, lice, locusts, blood, darkness.

And the death of firstborn sons. Yeah.

Rex was the eldest. So is Oliver.

All right, everybody, give
us 5 minutes, ok, please?

Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

You know, speaking of lunatics,

when I said you sounded insane,

- I didn't mean for you to go check into a psych ward.
- I know.

You went to see Wilkie's
ex-girlfriend, didn't you?

Yeah.

I couldn't resist it.

It turns out...

Wilkie's not workin' on his own.

All right, the pied piper

is a nickname for a real person.

They went to music camp together.

In the... the fairy tale,

the pied piper plays some
sort of flute or clarinet.

Maybe that's what he
played at music camp.

Well, you know, whoever it is,

he's got all the answers.

You do know

that I'm not gonna just
walk away from this.

So tell the bureau to fire me

and to find another Lightman group.

Good luck on that, by the way.

Just be right this time.

I'll do my level best.

You ok?

Yeah, I'm fantastic.

I'm here if you need me.

You know that, right?

Right.

I know that, love.

Oh. Hello.

So mom has some pictures laid
out from the Wilkie trial,

a few months after you guys met.

She's looking a little
rounder than usual.

And?

And we've never really
discussed it before,

but I'm pretty good at math.

Your point being?

I was born 7 1/2 months
after you guys married.

Would you believe that
you were premature?

At 8 pounds, 8 ounces?

No, your mum was pregnant
when I married her.

But you couldn't have just
come out and told me that?

No. No, we didn't want
to celebrate our mistakes,

have you go on and copy 'em.

Oh, so I was a mistake?

Course not.

So how'd it happen?

Were... were you drunk?

Was it just a one-night stand?

Did you even go on a date first?

Yes, no, and yes.

What's the matter, Em?

Did you only marry mom
because you got her pregnant?

No. No, of course not.

I'm not that much of a gentleman.

No, be serious.

I wanna know if I'm the reason you
guys spent 14 miserable years together.

Look, I married your mum

because I loved her.

Then you comin' along just
helped me pull the trigger.

Plus they were by no
means 14 miserable years.

So I didn't, like... like, ruin
your life or something like that?

Ah, no, you were the best
news I ever got, yeah?

Still are.

So you were drunk.

Yeah.

It wasn't a one-night stand.

No.

And you were dating.

Yeah.

I married your mum 'cause I loved her.

If I had to do it all
over again, you know...

no, I take that back.

Studies have shown that
the strongest deterrent

to a lawsuit is familiarity,
a personal relationship,

so I figure I establish
a rapport with Kevin,

it'll be that much harder for him to sue

knowing it'll affect my livelihood.

Well, I'm goin' with you,

because if this works,
I'm not letting you

take all the credit for saving Lightman.

And if it doesn't work?

Then it's all your fault,

and I'm gonna call the Rader
firm and set up an interview.

So, anyway, we just...

we just wanted to come by
and see how you were doing.

Last time we saw you,

you were pretty upset, understandably,

so... and, uh...

we...

Well, we brought you some pastries.

We were worried you might
do something drastic.

I know firsthand what stress
can do. It... it can...

You call what I've been
going through just stress?

Dr. Lightman tried
to stop the execution.

He's devoted himself to the case.

He's very close to finding someone
else who may have been involved.

That doesn't change the
fact that Jason is dead

because your boss made a mistake.

Let's cut to the chase.
Why are you really here?

- Mr. Wilk...
- To convince me not to sue Lightman.

I know this might seem pretty weird,

but, um, if there's anything you need...

or if you just wanna talk

or something, that's my number.

It was really nice getting to know you.

Thank you.

No one can even look me
in the eye these days,

so I appreciate it.

Maybe I'll hold off on suing Lightman

till I learn what he finds.

I did not hurt that little boy.

You want me to confess, but I won't.

I did not hurt that little boy.

You want me to confess, but I won't.

Lightman.

Do you know who the first
liar in the world was?

The devil.

In the bible, he's
called the father of lies.

Is Zoe a lawyer or a liar?

Nah, if we're playin' 20 questions here,

I think it's my turn.

What's your deal with eldest sons?

Do you know where your daughter is?

Can she come out and play?

Dial by name.

Emily.

Emily.

- Emily.
- Hey, Cal, it's me.

Emily left her phone
here. She went to see you.

She left my place about an hour ago.

We got a problem.

Hannah said she never picked up
Emily. Tell me exactly what happened.

I got a call on my private line,
asking me if I knew where Emily was.

Was that him?

What did he say?

Yeah, this is Cal Lightman,
calling for Agent Reynolds.

Well find him.

- Tell him it's an emergency.
- What did he say?

Look, the FBI will start a
search. We should just cool.

Emily's friends...

What? I told you Haley was picking me
up. We just went to get something to eat.

You said Hannah.

No, I said Haley.

First there are the phone calls.

Then he takes your child.

That's the pattern.

Let's just go through
all this stuff again.

What's in that box?

Photos that Wilkie's mother
gave me during the trial

to prove that Jason was a good boy.

Rex was kept alive for 3 days.

News clippings aren't relevant.

Everything is relevant.

There is a killer after our daughter,

and the only way to keep
her safe is to catch him.

You don't get to decide
what is and isn't relevant.

That's precisely what the killer wants.

He wants to panic us
into stopping our search.

The best way that we can
end this is to find him.

I just wanna keep her safe.

Well, the FBI's parked right outside.

I can't take any more.

You can do this.

Those photographs from Wilkie's mum,

are they, uh... are they
from when he was a kid?

Yeah.

Well, the Pied Piper and Jason

knew each other when they were kids,

so there might be something there.

Kevin's the youngest, right?

Well, look at the body language.

I mean, he's clearly in control.

He's dominant. The other 2,

the older 2, they
just... they adore him.

And who's the older one?

William.

Wilkie's mother said that
her oldest son William

died of pneumonia
when he was just a kid.

Oh, my God.

It's Kevin.

Yeah.

With a clarinet.

Kevin is the pied piper, right?

He made the phone calls.

He kidnapped Rex,

but he had Jason kill
him. They were partners.

Why?

It was revenge for the death

of their eldest brother, William.

William came down with pneumonia

after their father lost his
job at the home fed diner.

Right. Now, the diner was torn down

by the Sheridan company,

their first development deal.

Yeah, the family was
worried about money,

so they didn't take him to the hospital.

He died after 3 days.

So they blamed the Sheridan
family enough to kill Rex?

And after Jason was executed,

Kevin had to take revenge again.

All right, so we found

Kevin's car at the train station.

He's long gone, and there's no sign

of Oliver at his house.

We must have tipped him off
when we went to talk to him.

We told him Lightman was
close to finding the culprit.

Well, if his M.O. is to kill
the victim on the third day,

Oliver could be dead already.

All right, hit the lights.

Well, the GPS on Kevin's car
shows us he was here 3 days ago.

He was the chief
engineer on this project

before it was shut
down about a month ago.

All right, everybody. Keep
your eye and your ears open.

Let's fan out.

Whoa, whoa. Shh, shh, shh!

You hear that?

There's someone in there.

Give me something to
open this thing up with.

Yeah.

Ah, damn it!

Heh heh.

I hate rats.

Pritchard, you stay with Lightman.

You three, come with me.

Let's check upstairs.

This doesn't belong here.

Yeah, hold this.

Oliver, can you hear me?

- Aaah!
- Hold it right there. Don't move.

Cal, you ok?

Yeah, he's in the wall.

Let me see your hands.

- Check on Oliver.
- Come on, we got an agent down.

Right on it.

Mr. Sheridan, I owe you an apology.

Sorry about being such an ass earlier.

No, forget it.

And thank you for everything.

Pleasure.

Hey, you're bleedin'.

You sure you don't
wanna go to the hospital?

Nah, these guys are gonna patch me up.

How 'bout, uh, Wilkie?

We found equipment he
used to make the calls.

He's not talkin' yet, but he's stable.

Stable? He's an animal.

If I had my way, he
wouldn't be talking at all.

Good stuff.

Beato Michaeli Archangelo,

beato Loanni...

Oh, turn that off.

Are you ok?

Peachy.

I got hold of Jason
Wilkie's surveillance tape

just before his execution.

His final prayer was in Latin.

It was a confession of sins.

Maybe it was his way of taking the blame

for... for killing Rex Sheridan.

Ah.

Well, I'd like to
think this is all over,

but, yeah, I've been wrong before, so...

- We never doubted you, Cal.
- Really?

- Not for a second.
- Really?

I had your back.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I had an exit plan, too.

Yeah. Jack Rader.

Well, I'd have done the same thing.

Pays better.

Ooh, sorry.

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

No, I'm doing nothing of the sort.

I'm like Florence Nightingale.

You know, you could make
your life a whole lot easier

if you would just admit
that you need people.

You don't have to be
such a lone wolf, Cal.

Aw, do me a favor.

With you two and Foster
and the rest of the group,

it's a 3-ring bloody circus.

You know what I mean.

Let the record reflect
that Zoe Landau is correct.

You happy now?

Ecstatic.

Ok, don't move.

Don't move.

Ok. You're all set.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Let's go get something to eat.

Hey, I'm sorry you guys
thought I was missing earlier.

You know, I thought
of a perfect solution

that'll make sure that
never happens again.

Oh, yeah? Let's hear it.

Buy me a car.

I mean, think about it.

You'll never have to get confused
about who's picking me up.

Ah, that's clever, that is.

Yeah, well, she gets
her craftiness from you.

Yeah, not bloody likely.

So is... is that a yes?
