Mind Games (2014) s01e12 Episode Script
As God Is My Witness
Previously on "mind games" Sam's gone.
We -- We had a blowup, and it ended poorly.
Aah! We got her.
What would you like us to do? Guess we're supposed to kill her, aren't we? We shouldn't make any major life decisions Until we're sure it's gonna last.
You know, that -- That we have a real future.
Of course we have a future.
I have no idea where sam is.
That's not the issue here.
See, i've got her.
At the time he was betrayed And entered willingly into his passion, he took bread.
And, giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, Saying, "take this, all of you, and eat of it.
For this is my body, which has been given up for you.
" In a similar way, he took the chalice, Saying, "take this, all of you, and drink from it, "For this is the chalice of my blood, "The blood of the new and eternal covenant, "Which will be poured out for you and for many "For the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.
" Nope! You're getting engaged! Shh! No! Yes.
I don't know.
I-I-I hope so.
It's so beautiful! Do you like it? Oh, my god.
How are you gonna do it? Do what? Propose.
Uh, well I wasgonna ask her to marry me.
I know.
But how? Likethat.
No.
No.
Absolutely not.
How you propose is part of the story forever.
People will ask.
I've never asked anyone that.
Beth has -- She's asked every girlfriend Who's ever gotten engaged how he proposed, And they will ask her.
Please -- Do not let the story be "Hey, so, did you want to get married or what? Everything is so much bigger than i think.
It's big! Beth has to believe you made an effort for her.
This one guy proposed me on a jumbotron at the bulls game.
Did you like that? Do i look married to you? So, no jumbotron.
Do you want me to come up with something? Yes.
There might be doves.
Ohh i'm gonna hope not.
If it wasn't winter, there'd be a boat.
Understood.
Look, just don't tell anyone.
Okay.
I mean it.
I got it.
Nobody.
Got it.
Okay.
Nobody.
Hey.
Hey.
Where were you this morning? Church.
Church.
Really? I need your help with something.
I'm studying these books on the science of memory.
It's a lot to absorb, and i could really use some advice.
Yeah, sure.
On what? How to erase someone's memory -- Something that happened.
Now, that's all i can tell you.
Please -- Don't ask a bunch of questions.
Yeah.
No problem.
Like if i came to you and said, "hey, i need some bullets.
I just can't tell you what they're for.
" Okay! It's for sam.
She's in trouble.
How is she in trouble? She pulled a con.
On miles.
What? There were extenuating circumstances.
She conned miles?! Only because she was being conned into doing it.
But it doesn't matter.
She didn't take the money.
Well, then how is she still in trouble? Because not taking the money cost a guy -- A very dangerous guy -- His money.
It's why she had to run.
And not because of you? No -- Him.
Buthe found her.
And he knows what we do, and he wants me to do it.
Otherwise, we never see sam again.
What does he want you to do? There's a witness he doesn't want testifying In a trial next week.
So witness tampering? Yeah.
Who's the witness? Okay.
Here, it gets worse, So if --If i keep it vague, you have deniability.
Ross! Who's the witness? A priest.
A priest.
It's father daniel mallory.
I figured it'd be hard To get him to do the wrong thing or lie, But if i could make him forget what he saw, he couldn't testify.
So i've been reading these studies on psychiatrists Treating veterans with post-Traumatic stress.
T-They're using mdma to erase -- Mdma? Yeah.
Street name is ecstasy.
Yeah, i know what mdma is.
Okay.
Well, apparently It can erase entire memories of traumatic events.
And you want to give this to a priest? Right.
How? In his communion wine? Maybe.
But, i mean, he only takes tiny sips.
Ross! Are you out of your mind?! I realize it's in the early stages.
No, giving ecstasy to a priest Is not the early stages of anything! Okay, it is full-Blown stage-4 insanity! That's why i didn't want to involve you, okay? You're right.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Forget it, okay? I'll -- I'll figure it out.
Ross.
Wait.
I'll do it.
I'll help.
Really? You come in here, And you tell me sam's gonna die If you don't pull this off, which you can't.
What do you expect me to do? We'll figure it out.
We'll save sam.
Clark.
And then that's it.
What do you mean, "that's it"? I mean with you and me.
Whatever -- Whatever this is, that's it.
No, come on.
Look, i know you have every right to be mad at me -- No.
I don't.
It's my fault.
I should have expected this from the start.
It's you.
Always a pyramid scheme.
First, you bring in sam.
Sam cons miles.
Now a gangster wants to kill sam If we don't take care of a priest? Something like this was where we were always headed.
So it's here.
We'll do it.
And then i'm taking that job in kentucky And heading the other way, Which i should have done when you first came to me.
And since we can't involve anyone out there in our crime Or even mention a word to them -- Or they'll be accessories -- We need to let them all go -- Right now.
Wait.
Now? Look, ross, i know what needs to be done, And it needs to be done now before you start spinning And adding your little band-Aids of lies To make us feel like it's gonna be okay, 'Cause it's not.
All right, everybody, gather up! Over? Just like that? They can't do this.
Can they do this? I'm pretty sure they just did.
Uh, these are my cups.
I brought these cups from home.
They're just having a fight.
It's brothers.
My mom and her sister owned a stationery store together And threatened to close it up every week.
It always blew over -- Until the fire.
Oh.
I think i just realized my aunt burned down our store.
And we've been fighting off the flames here for months.
Look, guys, maybe the best thing for us to do Is just be glad that we made it this far -- You know, work on our rãâ©sumãâ©s And take some office supplies.
No! I like it here.
What if we change their mind? You heard them, okay? There is not a lot of room for discussion here.
Wait.
Wait, wait.
You mean change their minds? Yes! You guys, it's what we do.
We still have us.
We still have a miles.
It's not a clark but it's not nothing.
Um Thank you? So, the particulars of the case are pretty mundane.
Apparently, a shopkeeper has been severely beaten.
He can't remember who did it, which shows me That hisintelligence is still intact.
Apparently, in the past, He'd done some business with one of my companies.
So, by association only, The police are pointing the finger at my son for the crime.
Your son? Elliot.
He's a good boy.
Chip off the old block, i see.
Mm.
Not exactly.
His mother saw to that when she tried to leave with him.
He was very young.
Father needs to do what he needs to do, Try and make something of him.
My father built bricks Out of sand, water, and fire -- Out of nothing.
Did he do it? Uh, i don't know that that's relevant.
He was nowhere near the place.
There's no physical evidence.
Apparently, the police are saying They've got one eyewitness.
Yes, the priest -- Who believes he was there.
And a priest believes many things he hasn't seen.
Now, the trial starts monday.
By friday, He needs to tell the police that he never saw this one.
Okay, we need resources.
We needthe exact description of elliot That father dan gave the police.
That's not a problem.
And we need sam.
Wait.
What? You have her.
We need her.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, unless you have tremendous faith In the judicial system, it has to.
And you think they're my only options? I'm the science.
We need sam to pull this off.
What about your associates out there? They don't know anything about you, and if they did, They wouldn't have anything to do with this.
Look, sam got herself into this.
Ross pulled me in.
We either do this ourselves, or we don't do it at all.
Mr.
Vincent -- "Isaac" -- Please.
Isaacif clark says that he needs sam, I would listen to him.
Do you know who isaac was? In the bible? The son of abraham.
Yeah.
Do you know that god told abraham To sacrifice his son? So he tied isaac to a rock, took out his knife, And he was just about to slay him when god stopped him.
He said, "okay, you proved that you would do it for me.
" So abraham -- He got to sacrifice a ram.
And that day forward, Isaac knew exactly where he stood with his father.
Now, when i heard that story, i was a very young boy.
But i said to myself, "if i ever have a son, "He would always know that i'm gonna choose him And that i will sacrifice the ram.
" The trial starts monday.
Yes, we can see you at 10:00 or 2:00 tomorrow.
All right.
We do have on-Site parking.
And we validate.
Um W-What are you doing here? All right.
See you at 2:00.
Thanks a lot.
Who was that guy you were just meeting with? No one.
Legal stuff.
Why are you here? We said the business is closed.
Oh.
Right.
Umit's not.
Yes, actually, you don't have the power to shut us down.
It's "edwards and associates.
" We're the "edwards" part.
Us.
Turns out that miles was the company's biggest investor, So, technically, the two of you owe him a ton of money.
Yeah, this is legally all his.
Except the cups.
The cups are latrell's.
Luckily, i have a way for you to avoid bankruptcy.
We're gonna replace you, keep the firm going.
Replace us?! Well, clark.
We don't really know what you do.
So, meanwhile, we don't want anyone to think that the business is closed, So megan will continue to answer the phone And set up appointments, Miles will interview neuropsychologists, And i will have papers drawn up To transfer the company for you to sign tomorrow.
Noon is good for me.
Ah.
You can have this.
But the company stays.
What do you mean, what do i do? It's a fair question.
I have the sam you asked for.
Oh, god.
Mm.
Are you okay? Considering the alternative? Yeah.
Oh, clark.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay? See, nate? It's moments like these That remind me why we do what we do.
Hey.
There's no one back there.
What are you looking for -- Cops? Back door? Snacks.
Oh.
Um, i think there'ssome muffins.
Vincent.
If anything happens to her, i am coming after you.
Well, she's so pivotal in so many lives.
Why, she's like the queen of the hop.
I'm leaving now.
But nate will stay here.
What? Why? So he can keep an eye on sam until this is finished.
You had your demands.
I got mine.
And listen, fellas.
Just in case you think You're gonna go to the cops and say anything, Nate can make her disappear again As easy as pressing "delete.
" Just got a text from the agent of one of our actors.
They just got the message That we changed the auditions to here.
So he's going to the office? Yeah.
Auditions? W-W-What are you talking about? For our first strategy.
I need to get there and make sure He doesn't say anything to involve the others.
Hey, if you like, nate's very good At making people not say anything.
No, thanks.
Hi.
I'm here for the audition.
Oh.
Um, what audition? I'm supposed to see a ross edwards.
Uh, all of our candidates are here.
Where's ross and clark? Hi, ricky.
Oh.
Come with me.
Hey.
What are you holding auditions for? Um are you working on a case? Nope! I can't say.
Don't ask.
Here you are.
You were supposed to be here to sign the papers two hours ago.
I was? Yes.
I have the papers all drawn up and ready.
Oh, i-I don't have time, so just give them to me, and i'll sign them later.
No, you have to sign them now.
You and ross have to be here together, And you have to do it now.
Is that hastings? Dr.
Hastings.
Yeah, yeah.
He finally finished his dissertation.
What's he doing here? I need replacements.
Hastings?! He's a hack! He should get an environmental award For all the ideas he's recycled.
That guyhad -- Is that galloway? Are you serious? I realize that no one is you, But i need help, and this is what's available.
So, if you would just come to my office And sign the papers, we can put -- No, i got to get back.
Wh-- Hastings -- Really? I'm guessing that wasn't supposed to happen.
Um I say thefifth guy from the right.
Nah, come on.
The other guy's a dead ringer.
All right.
Sam, you're the tie breaker.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, i'm no good at this.
Um, i once dated this guy that, to me, Looked exactly like lou diamond phillips, But no one else saw it.
Second guy from the left.
Him? Really? Around the eyes.
- Yeah.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Huh.
Okay? Okay.
All right.
That's our guy.
All right, thanks a lot for coming.
Um, ricky, we'll, uh, be in touch.
Oh! Beth! Hi.
Hey! Uh is there something i should know? Nope.
Absolutely not.
And you didn't see anything.
Okay? Okay, then.
All right.
Uh, thanks for the muffins.
Of course.
I'll be -- I'll be right back.
Clark.
Umyou know Ross told me why we're doing all this out of here.
You closed down your business because of me? Well, it's because of a lot of reasons.
I need to not talk about this right now.
I-I-I have to have my whole brain thinking About only this case, okay? I don't want to -- I-It's for your own safety.
All right? Okay.
Look.
This is ricky.
Memorize him.
Study the case.
Okay.
Then what do you want me to do? Memory reconsolidation.
Our memories are stored, consolidated In what might as well be boxes in our brain -- Same as we'd store photo albums in the attic.
When you recall a memory, you take it out of the box, And when it's out, you can alter it, add things to it, So when you put it back, it's changed.
That's reconsolidation.
You see, i-I always thought it was that.
May the lord help you to know your sins And to accept his mercy and love.
Can we talk somewhere else? Um Uh, no.
This is the confessional.
It's where we confess.
Okay.
Well, the -- The guy that got beat I saw it, too.
Our obstacle here Is something called irrational primacy effect.
Like everyone, father dan is inclined to believe Information he receives early in a series of data.
What i don't like is that i can't use A more precise strategy to overcome it.
Why can't you? Because we don't know what happened that day.
I mean, i'd do steps differently If i knew vincent's son were innocent than if he did it.
Oh, he did it.
Excuse me? Do you think mr.
Vincent would be going through all this If he didn't? Great.
So we're letting a criminal go free? No, no.
H-He's a good kid.
He's just not cut out for this, you know? Probably home right now puking his guts out.
You people think collecting insurance is entry-Level.
It's not.
I told mr.
Vincent, "Look, your kid don't have the aptitude for this.
" But now he wants him to man up, whatever.
Here we are.
How's she do this? Huh? How does she do it? Oh.
Well, first, sam gets father dan To remember what he saw elliot do.
Then she contaminates what he remembers By describing not elliot, but our actor, ricky.
Hello.
Hey.
Uh, um outside the confession box, Is it still, uh -- Oh, what's the word? Umprivileged, uh Communication.
And yes, it is.
Swear it.
Sorry? Yeah, swear to god.
Iswear to god.
Good.
Because i saw that kid that did the beating Same as you.
You witnessed the beating? No, i mean, not -- Not the thing itself, But, uh, but i saw him come out.
The kid that did it -- I saw him pull off that gray ski mask.
You have to tell the police.
No.
Yes.
Oh, no.
Now, you wouldn't have come to me If you didn't feel the need to do your moral duty.
Okay? Just look to what's in your heart.
Yeah, a knife is what's gonna be in my heart If anyone sees me in town.
No, i-I-I can't involve myself with the police at this point.
Let's just leave it at that.
But i don't have to As long as you saw the same as i saw -- The kid with the gray ski mask.
No, a dark-Blue mask.
No.
It was gray w-With the writing on it.
And he pulled his black hoodie over his light-Brown hair.
N-No.
D-Dark hair.
No! It was light-Brown! God.
I can't live with myself If that kid goes free after what he did.
I-I mean, i-I can see it right now.
I'm walking my little dog.
I had a little dog back then -- Foxy.
Pain in the ass.
Sorry.
And she's barking at this kid that i see -- Gray ski mask on, black hoodie underneath his coat, Light-Brown hair poking out.
No.
It was a blue mask, and -- I don't remember a hoodie.
Then you're remembering it wrong.
Look, this kid's got to be punished.
Don't you want to get it right? O-Of course, yes.
I got to go.
L-Let's meet up -- Tomorrow -- So we can get this right.
Please? But can it please not be in the house of god? There's only one diner where i'm still okay -- Jolly's.
Tomorrow.
I don't have a watch anymore, so let's just say 1:00-Ish.
Uh, yes.
Jolly's.
Uh, i'll be there.
Jolly's, tomorrow, 1:00.
Thank youfather.
I-I'll be there.
She's taking her time.
She'll be out.
Relax.
I'm freezing.
Just turn the heater on.
No, no.
You don't want to do that.
You'll die from carbon-Monoxide poisoning.
Seriously? Trust me.
Hastings Oh, sorry -- Dr.
Hastings.
What are you saying? What? What? Oh, miles.
He pulled together these bozos to replace me -- The worst of the worst.
I can't imagine one of them replacing me if God.
It's freezing out there.
Turn on the damn car! She came back.
Sorry you don't get to murder anyone today.
God.
Day's not over.
This doesn't seem like a new strategy.
It seems like the old strategy with new-Color ink.
The closing-Door strategy should work, okay? Closing the door on an option Is experienced by the brain like it's a loss, So we reflexively try to keep the door open on options as often as -- Clark! Hi.
You don't need to do that.
Here.
What is it? It's the name of the guy that I think should replace me.
It's me.
If you can pull off a closing-Door strategy In less than a day And display my most hated rivals in order to push me back in, I'd say this company is in good hands.
Well Thank you.
But it didn't work.
If we signed the papers when we were supposed to, Who knows? Anywaygood luck.
Would it have worked? The closing-Door thing? In this case, no.
But ordinarily -- Why not? Because in order for it to work, You have to actually want the door not to close.
So, this place just doesn't matter enough to you? Is that why you can just walk away? It matters a lot.
I-In fact, i-It mattered more than anything at one point.
It's really hard for people to close doors.
We suck at it.
We stay in touch, have reunions.
We check ourfacebook.
Better to be like that chinese warrior xiang yu.
He sent his army across a river To, uh, face a superior enemy, And then he burned his boats So they either had to fight or die.
Eliminate the options, burn it all So you can't go back.
Even if you really really want to.
Megan.
Please.
I can't keep going through this.
No, i just wanted to tell you That i-I came up with a plan to propose to beth.
Oh.
I almost forgot about that.
So, you'll take her to a nice place That also has a private room you can rent, And you'll call all her friends and relatives.
And when she says yes, you'll take her Right into a party filled with all the people She would have wanted to call and tell anyway.
Um You don't know all her friends and relatives, do you? No.
Okay.
You'll get her phone, And you'll copy all her contacts.
And you might need time for that, so You will "accidentally" take her phone to work with you, And you can switch it when you get back.
Did you just come up with that? I know.
I worry me.
Well, thank you.
You didn't need to do that After i basically turned my back on you.
No, clark, i-I want you to be happy.
Whether we work together or not I care about you.
And i-I don't expect you to invite me to the wedding.
I'm guessing that door will be pretty closed.
But, um I don't know.
Maybe now there will be a little bit of me there anyway.
What are you doing? Leaving -- 'Cause it didn't work.
Look, you followed clark because he believed in you, right? And megan and i are here because ross believed in us.
None of that has changed, miles.
And doing what we do here -- But without all their issues and problems -- To me, it feels like breathing fresh air.
Huh.
Yeah, maybe it does.
We're like the new growth after a forest fire.
Yes, yes.
A-And i'm that naked girl from "game of thrones" Who stood up from the ashes with dragons on her shoulder.
That's awesome.
I know.
disturbing.
Yeah, but -- But who knows? Maybe.
You know? Who can say? Clark said you could do it.
He did.
Mm-Hmm.
I can.
I will! You will.
Yes! Yes.
Wait.
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
I'll just -- I'll have the bank Transfer the payroll accounts to me.
And given recent financial events, I should probably just do that in person.
What recent events? What -- I can't talk about it.
Oh, brilliant -- Starting out fresh But with more "i can't talk about it.
" It's the last one.
I promisekhaleesi.
Okay, father dan's not here yet.
Sam! Don't step -- I don't want him to see you.
He's supposed to meet her here.
Yeah, but he's not.
Instead he's meeting fatherross.
Wow! The devil comes in many disguises.
So, what's the play? Doubt reinforcement.
Father dan is already doubting his recall of elliot -- Thanks to sam -- But he doesn't know it.
So cementing his doubt, making him believe His subconscious is at war with himself Will work best if ross here is also a man of the cloth.
Yeah, that's fine.
I just wish it wasn't a polyester blend.
Ooh.
Okay.
We bought this place out for an hour.
Everyone here is an actor.
I'm a waiter, obviously.
Nate, i need you to be the guy Sitting at the table next to the priest.
Me? No.
Yes.
Just sit there.
If i ask you if you've seen anything, you just say no.
I have a line? Mm-Hmm.
No.
No.
No.
See? You already got it.
You're a natural.
Just -- Hold on.
Moun-- Mountain cat.
He's -- He's here! Let's go.
Come on.
All right.
Get ready.
Nate, i need you out here right now.
Okay? I'm gonna go seat him.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
Don't worry about it.
It'll be fine.
You know, sixth grade, we do, uh, "diary of anne frank.
" I get the smallest role -- Mr.
Kraler.
I come out and say, "there still seems to be some confusion.
" See? You remember it.
It's easy.
Now.
Then, nothing -- Headlights.
You're gonna be fine.
It'll be a piece of cake.
Okay, well, look, um, i got to lock you up somewhere.
What? Why? Yeah, i got to put you in a bathroom or something.
I can't let you roam around here free.
Look, i'm responsible for you, for your -- I know that, but come on.
What i'm trying to say is that, if you run, Who has to come looking for you? And then there we are.
I'm not gonna run.
Okay.
All right.
Hello, father.
Father.
Hey.
Can i get you started with something? Coffee and apple pie.
They have great apple pie, father.
Try it.
Uh, w-- Okay.
Coffee and applepie.
Uh, i'm sorry.
Where's the young woman? Listen to me.
There are discrepancies in your testimony.
What discrepancies? In your memory of the events.
Oh, n-No.
No.
The woman i was meeting had concerns.
I have concerns.
Andwho are you? The facts are the facts.
You saw a young man with light hair.
It was dark hair.
Maybe medium? Maybe.
"Maybe"? There is no maybe.
There is only truth.
"Sanctify them in the truth, And the truth shall set you free.
" Picture it in your mind.
The rain had stopped.
Uh, i don't recall any rain.
That's what i said -- It had stopped.
Now picture it.
The boy comes out -- Brown eyes, gray ski mask with the writing on it -- Zips up his black hoodie.
I think that was a blue ski -- Think?! You have to be sure.
A young man's life is at stake.
You cannot bear false witness.
To break a commandment is a sin.
Owwwwww! Holy hell! What are you doing, man?! Oh, i'm so sorry.
Ohh! I apologize.
I got a towel.
Uhuh, w-Where did he go? Who? The -- The man who was here, the priest.
You're the priest.
And ibrought you apple pie and coffee.
It was two coffees, two pies.
I can -- I can bring you more if you'd like.
H-H-He was just right here.
Excuse me.
S-Sir? Did yousee someone sitting over here? No.
So, yeah, i know it's a big move, But i already pay most of the company's bills, So i figured i'd just put the payroll on my account, you know? No problem at all.
Fudge? I made it for my son to take to school, But now they can't bring fudge.
No idea why.
No, thank you.
Umi didn't know if i had to go through Some sort of special procedure, though.
Do we need to notify the fbi? Why would that be? 'Cause of the -- Huh.
Maybe you're not aware of the investigation.
Right.
Okay.
Uh, so -- So, i probably shouldn't be, um -- Maybe you can -- You can, uh, put me in touch With the electronic fraud prevention officer.
Yeah.
Uhthat's not a thing.
Yes, it is.
It's a thing.
I-I met him, sohe's a thing.
I'm not sure how you could have.
And yet, i did.
I was in his office.
Here.
He gave me his card.
Nope.
There's no branch there.
There is a branch there.
I was in the branch there, like a week ago.
And i have been with this bank for over 20 years.
There's my over-20-Year plaque right there.
And i'm telling you -- There's not, nor has there ever been A branch of this bank at that location.
So if you were there, You must have been there in the future.
Welcome, traveler.
Have some fudge.
Okay, after the diner and meeting an imaginary priest, Father dan has to be wondering If his brain is trying to stop him from making a mistake.
We set him up.
Now the knockout punch.
Another text.
Who keeps texting you? Uh, it's no one.
It's a picture of a dog.
- It's a pug.
Why would somebody be sending you pictures of a pug? It's beth's friend.
They have two pugs.
Why are beth's friends sending you photos of pugs? I hate pugs.
Their eyeballs could fall out.
It's beth's phone.
I grabbed the wrong one.
We have each other's phones, okay? Can we focus on t-The case, please? Oh, really? No more pug talk? All right.
Father dan volunteers at a youth shelter On thursday nights.
This evening, i'll be waiting along his route to the shelter In disguise since he's already seen me.
Right when he passes me, Our elliot look-Alike will appear to mug me, Giving the priest a good look at him.
And everything will come together.
He'll see this guy Looking exactly like sam and ross described him Committing a crime, And he'll realize this could be the one He saw on the street the day of the beating, not elliot -- The other guy.
He'll have no idea.
Was it him? Did he get it wrong? And he'll doubt his ability to say what he saw With any accuracy.
And he'll pull out.
Nice.
So glad you liked it.
All right, let's get out of here.
Um, we need to go pick ricky up and get in place.
You know, it feels like being in the locker room Right before the game.
Hey, uh, clark I don't know if you've noticed, but, i mean We're working pretty well together For two guys who are supposed to be splitting up.
I mean, does it really have to be the end? Yeah.
We are working well together.
But we're working well together in the commission of a felony.
So yes -- It does have to end.
Well, then, let's, uh, make it a win.
We sure as hell better.
We burned our boats.
So, what is this movie, anyway? Um You know, it's kind of like ahidden-Camera tv show.
Where are the cameras? Were you listening? They're hidden.
I-I got this, nate.
Um, okay, so, listen.
Pretty soon, a priest is gonna come this way.
Now, when i say "go," all you have to do Is run up to that guy right there -- You see him? Push him down, take his wallet, And make sure the priest sees you.
I have to shove a guy? Well -- - Don't worry about it.
Look, he's a stuntman.
He can make it look very real.
Afterwards, we'll interview the priest About what he saw or what he thought he saw.
And then people who watch the show Will learn a lot more about unreliable memories.
What show is it? It's a show.
You're getting paid.
Okay? Hey.
Miles.
What? Miles? Miles.
Okay.
All right, i'll be right there.
Miles? What is -- W-What is it? It's probably nothing.
I'll call you later.
Wh-- Oh, there he is.
There he is.
You ready? What happened?! I know what i saw.
I don't have to go to the police.
I'll just go to the fbi.
No.
Ross, listen.
Listen, okay? I need to get a private investigator, And then i have to tell my parents, Because they're probably the real marks here.
What are you gonna tell your parents -- You can't be trusted to handle your own bank account? The day before this happened, You were supposed to go check out oliver with sam.
I never got a chance to ask.
W-We had a fight.
Yeah, and then she disappeared.
Yeah.
T-The very same day that this all happened.
Yeah.
No! Miles -- Oh, my god.
Do you think that she knew about this? Oh, my god! Do you think that she was in on this? No! No, of course not.
Ross, did he call? Did who call? I only got a call from you, but i was -- No, that call was from clark on my phone.
We have each other's phones.
So when i saw that i missed a call from me, I listened to the message.
Okay.
And he knows! Knows what? What does he know? Miles? "I'm talking to miles" is what i'm trying to tell you.
No, there were texts, ross, still on my phone.
What are you saying? You didn't erase them? I forgot about them! What texts? Is it about the bank? Shut up about the bank! "Shut up about" -- I can't go home.
I can't look at him -- No, no.
All right.
Don't go home.
Don't talk to him.
Don't see him until we have figured out -- Hey! Get out here.
Clark.
Oh, my god.
Hey.
What, are you getting your stories straight? Clark, wait.
Just -- I've got it all -- All of it.
And it started months before i met beth.
Wait -- What? They set me up.
Listen, it was -- You did it together! You conned me like one of your marks! No, no.
Listen.
O-O-Only at first.
I did it for y-- Yeah, spin it, ross! Come on.
Spin it.
Come on.
Make me believe it.
Make me believe it.
Make me -- Make me feel crazy for not trusting you.
What is he talking about? Come on! Look -- Where'd you guys meet -- Prison? No! Where are you from? Wisconsin.
Liar! Kansas! I'm from kansas.
It's not her fault.
She took money to lure me in! Do you know what kind of person does that? Yes.
Listen, clark, it's not her.
I-It's all me.
Okay? I'm sorry.
I did it.
But i-I did it for you.
I did.
You did it for me? And myes.
I'm sorry, all right? But -- Sam? What are you doing back here? You ran off.
Who's this guy? T-T-This is nate.
He wanted to know that everything was okay.
It's not!! Clark, please.
I love you, and i-I-- Stop lying! She is not lying, okay? It's true! True?! How would you know what the truth is, ross?! T-T-That's why i hired sam in the first place.
I was testing her to see if she really loved you.
What?! You knew about it? I knew she was wrong from the beginning.
Did everybody know about it?! Were you all just sitting back here Laughing at me the whole time? No, clark.
We didn't know.
What about the fake bank? Did you know about that, too? The bank? Yes, the bank.
The bank.
The same one that disappeared the same day that you did.
Miles, i'm so sorry.
Oh, my god.
But look -- Look, i-I didn't take your money.
I swear to god i didn't take it.
Ross talked me out of it.
You knew? Of course he knew, miles.
The whole time, you're telling me to sit tight.
You're making me look like a fool! You're telling me everything's fine, And you knew that she was doing it! Megan is back here planning my engagement! Engagement? I bought a ring, beth! Clark.
Do you want your ring? I am so sorry.
S-S-S-Shut up!! Everything out of your mouth is a lie! Everything out of his mouth -- Lies! Fake banks! F-False promises.
Everything it's just -- None of this is real.
Everything is fake! This isn't real.
What are you doing? This isn't real! Stop breaking things! Clark, stop! This isn't real! That's not real! Please! None of this! All of it is built on nothing! Lies! None of this is real! I'm calling 911! Yeah, call 911.
This isn't real! Clark, no, put the chair down.
Don't hurt him! Clark, i'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Must have been one hell of a party.
But i guess that's why we have insurance, right? So? Did it work? It will.
Excuse me? You said friday.
It's not friday yet.
They'll get it done.
He's right.
We will.
Don't worry.
Oh, i'm not worried.
As i said That's why we have insurance.
Excuse me.
We -- We had a blowup, and it ended poorly.
Aah! We got her.
What would you like us to do? Guess we're supposed to kill her, aren't we? We shouldn't make any major life decisions Until we're sure it's gonna last.
You know, that -- That we have a real future.
Of course we have a future.
I have no idea where sam is.
That's not the issue here.
See, i've got her.
At the time he was betrayed And entered willingly into his passion, he took bread.
And, giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, Saying, "take this, all of you, and eat of it.
For this is my body, which has been given up for you.
" In a similar way, he took the chalice, Saying, "take this, all of you, and drink from it, "For this is the chalice of my blood, "The blood of the new and eternal covenant, "Which will be poured out for you and for many "For the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.
" Nope! You're getting engaged! Shh! No! Yes.
I don't know.
I-I-I hope so.
It's so beautiful! Do you like it? Oh, my god.
How are you gonna do it? Do what? Propose.
Uh, well I wasgonna ask her to marry me.
I know.
But how? Likethat.
No.
No.
Absolutely not.
How you propose is part of the story forever.
People will ask.
I've never asked anyone that.
Beth has -- She's asked every girlfriend Who's ever gotten engaged how he proposed, And they will ask her.
Please -- Do not let the story be "Hey, so, did you want to get married or what? Everything is so much bigger than i think.
It's big! Beth has to believe you made an effort for her.
This one guy proposed me on a jumbotron at the bulls game.
Did you like that? Do i look married to you? So, no jumbotron.
Do you want me to come up with something? Yes.
There might be doves.
Ohh i'm gonna hope not.
If it wasn't winter, there'd be a boat.
Understood.
Look, just don't tell anyone.
Okay.
I mean it.
I got it.
Nobody.
Got it.
Okay.
Nobody.
Hey.
Hey.
Where were you this morning? Church.
Church.
Really? I need your help with something.
I'm studying these books on the science of memory.
It's a lot to absorb, and i could really use some advice.
Yeah, sure.
On what? How to erase someone's memory -- Something that happened.
Now, that's all i can tell you.
Please -- Don't ask a bunch of questions.
Yeah.
No problem.
Like if i came to you and said, "hey, i need some bullets.
I just can't tell you what they're for.
" Okay! It's for sam.
She's in trouble.
How is she in trouble? She pulled a con.
On miles.
What? There were extenuating circumstances.
She conned miles?! Only because she was being conned into doing it.
But it doesn't matter.
She didn't take the money.
Well, then how is she still in trouble? Because not taking the money cost a guy -- A very dangerous guy -- His money.
It's why she had to run.
And not because of you? No -- Him.
Buthe found her.
And he knows what we do, and he wants me to do it.
Otherwise, we never see sam again.
What does he want you to do? There's a witness he doesn't want testifying In a trial next week.
So witness tampering? Yeah.
Who's the witness? Okay.
Here, it gets worse, So if --If i keep it vague, you have deniability.
Ross! Who's the witness? A priest.
A priest.
It's father daniel mallory.
I figured it'd be hard To get him to do the wrong thing or lie, But if i could make him forget what he saw, he couldn't testify.
So i've been reading these studies on psychiatrists Treating veterans with post-Traumatic stress.
T-They're using mdma to erase -- Mdma? Yeah.
Street name is ecstasy.
Yeah, i know what mdma is.
Okay.
Well, apparently It can erase entire memories of traumatic events.
And you want to give this to a priest? Right.
How? In his communion wine? Maybe.
But, i mean, he only takes tiny sips.
Ross! Are you out of your mind?! I realize it's in the early stages.
No, giving ecstasy to a priest Is not the early stages of anything! Okay, it is full-Blown stage-4 insanity! That's why i didn't want to involve you, okay? You're right.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Forget it, okay? I'll -- I'll figure it out.
Ross.
Wait.
I'll do it.
I'll help.
Really? You come in here, And you tell me sam's gonna die If you don't pull this off, which you can't.
What do you expect me to do? We'll figure it out.
We'll save sam.
Clark.
And then that's it.
What do you mean, "that's it"? I mean with you and me.
Whatever -- Whatever this is, that's it.
No, come on.
Look, i know you have every right to be mad at me -- No.
I don't.
It's my fault.
I should have expected this from the start.
It's you.
Always a pyramid scheme.
First, you bring in sam.
Sam cons miles.
Now a gangster wants to kill sam If we don't take care of a priest? Something like this was where we were always headed.
So it's here.
We'll do it.
And then i'm taking that job in kentucky And heading the other way, Which i should have done when you first came to me.
And since we can't involve anyone out there in our crime Or even mention a word to them -- Or they'll be accessories -- We need to let them all go -- Right now.
Wait.
Now? Look, ross, i know what needs to be done, And it needs to be done now before you start spinning And adding your little band-Aids of lies To make us feel like it's gonna be okay, 'Cause it's not.
All right, everybody, gather up! Over? Just like that? They can't do this.
Can they do this? I'm pretty sure they just did.
Uh, these are my cups.
I brought these cups from home.
They're just having a fight.
It's brothers.
My mom and her sister owned a stationery store together And threatened to close it up every week.
It always blew over -- Until the fire.
Oh.
I think i just realized my aunt burned down our store.
And we've been fighting off the flames here for months.
Look, guys, maybe the best thing for us to do Is just be glad that we made it this far -- You know, work on our rãâ©sumãâ©s And take some office supplies.
No! I like it here.
What if we change their mind? You heard them, okay? There is not a lot of room for discussion here.
Wait.
Wait, wait.
You mean change their minds? Yes! You guys, it's what we do.
We still have us.
We still have a miles.
It's not a clark but it's not nothing.
Um Thank you? So, the particulars of the case are pretty mundane.
Apparently, a shopkeeper has been severely beaten.
He can't remember who did it, which shows me That hisintelligence is still intact.
Apparently, in the past, He'd done some business with one of my companies.
So, by association only, The police are pointing the finger at my son for the crime.
Your son? Elliot.
He's a good boy.
Chip off the old block, i see.
Mm.
Not exactly.
His mother saw to that when she tried to leave with him.
He was very young.
Father needs to do what he needs to do, Try and make something of him.
My father built bricks Out of sand, water, and fire -- Out of nothing.
Did he do it? Uh, i don't know that that's relevant.
He was nowhere near the place.
There's no physical evidence.
Apparently, the police are saying They've got one eyewitness.
Yes, the priest -- Who believes he was there.
And a priest believes many things he hasn't seen.
Now, the trial starts monday.
By friday, He needs to tell the police that he never saw this one.
Okay, we need resources.
We needthe exact description of elliot That father dan gave the police.
That's not a problem.
And we need sam.
Wait.
What? You have her.
We need her.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, unless you have tremendous faith In the judicial system, it has to.
And you think they're my only options? I'm the science.
We need sam to pull this off.
What about your associates out there? They don't know anything about you, and if they did, They wouldn't have anything to do with this.
Look, sam got herself into this.
Ross pulled me in.
We either do this ourselves, or we don't do it at all.
Mr.
Vincent -- "Isaac" -- Please.
Isaacif clark says that he needs sam, I would listen to him.
Do you know who isaac was? In the bible? The son of abraham.
Yeah.
Do you know that god told abraham To sacrifice his son? So he tied isaac to a rock, took out his knife, And he was just about to slay him when god stopped him.
He said, "okay, you proved that you would do it for me.
" So abraham -- He got to sacrifice a ram.
And that day forward, Isaac knew exactly where he stood with his father.
Now, when i heard that story, i was a very young boy.
But i said to myself, "if i ever have a son, "He would always know that i'm gonna choose him And that i will sacrifice the ram.
" The trial starts monday.
Yes, we can see you at 10:00 or 2:00 tomorrow.
All right.
We do have on-Site parking.
And we validate.
Um W-What are you doing here? All right.
See you at 2:00.
Thanks a lot.
Who was that guy you were just meeting with? No one.
Legal stuff.
Why are you here? We said the business is closed.
Oh.
Right.
Umit's not.
Yes, actually, you don't have the power to shut us down.
It's "edwards and associates.
" We're the "edwards" part.
Us.
Turns out that miles was the company's biggest investor, So, technically, the two of you owe him a ton of money.
Yeah, this is legally all his.
Except the cups.
The cups are latrell's.
Luckily, i have a way for you to avoid bankruptcy.
We're gonna replace you, keep the firm going.
Replace us?! Well, clark.
We don't really know what you do.
So, meanwhile, we don't want anyone to think that the business is closed, So megan will continue to answer the phone And set up appointments, Miles will interview neuropsychologists, And i will have papers drawn up To transfer the company for you to sign tomorrow.
Noon is good for me.
Ah.
You can have this.
But the company stays.
What do you mean, what do i do? It's a fair question.
I have the sam you asked for.
Oh, god.
Mm.
Are you okay? Considering the alternative? Yeah.
Oh, clark.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay? See, nate? It's moments like these That remind me why we do what we do.
Hey.
There's no one back there.
What are you looking for -- Cops? Back door? Snacks.
Oh.
Um, i think there'ssome muffins.
Vincent.
If anything happens to her, i am coming after you.
Well, she's so pivotal in so many lives.
Why, she's like the queen of the hop.
I'm leaving now.
But nate will stay here.
What? Why? So he can keep an eye on sam until this is finished.
You had your demands.
I got mine.
And listen, fellas.
Just in case you think You're gonna go to the cops and say anything, Nate can make her disappear again As easy as pressing "delete.
" Just got a text from the agent of one of our actors.
They just got the message That we changed the auditions to here.
So he's going to the office? Yeah.
Auditions? W-W-What are you talking about? For our first strategy.
I need to get there and make sure He doesn't say anything to involve the others.
Hey, if you like, nate's very good At making people not say anything.
No, thanks.
Hi.
I'm here for the audition.
Oh.
Um, what audition? I'm supposed to see a ross edwards.
Uh, all of our candidates are here.
Where's ross and clark? Hi, ricky.
Oh.
Come with me.
Hey.
What are you holding auditions for? Um are you working on a case? Nope! I can't say.
Don't ask.
Here you are.
You were supposed to be here to sign the papers two hours ago.
I was? Yes.
I have the papers all drawn up and ready.
Oh, i-I don't have time, so just give them to me, and i'll sign them later.
No, you have to sign them now.
You and ross have to be here together, And you have to do it now.
Is that hastings? Dr.
Hastings.
Yeah, yeah.
He finally finished his dissertation.
What's he doing here? I need replacements.
Hastings?! He's a hack! He should get an environmental award For all the ideas he's recycled.
That guyhad -- Is that galloway? Are you serious? I realize that no one is you, But i need help, and this is what's available.
So, if you would just come to my office And sign the papers, we can put -- No, i got to get back.
Wh-- Hastings -- Really? I'm guessing that wasn't supposed to happen.
Um I say thefifth guy from the right.
Nah, come on.
The other guy's a dead ringer.
All right.
Sam, you're the tie breaker.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, i'm no good at this.
Um, i once dated this guy that, to me, Looked exactly like lou diamond phillips, But no one else saw it.
Second guy from the left.
Him? Really? Around the eyes.
- Yeah.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Huh.
Okay? Okay.
All right.
That's our guy.
All right, thanks a lot for coming.
Um, ricky, we'll, uh, be in touch.
Oh! Beth! Hi.
Hey! Uh is there something i should know? Nope.
Absolutely not.
And you didn't see anything.
Okay? Okay, then.
All right.
Uh, thanks for the muffins.
Of course.
I'll be -- I'll be right back.
Clark.
Umyou know Ross told me why we're doing all this out of here.
You closed down your business because of me? Well, it's because of a lot of reasons.
I need to not talk about this right now.
I-I-I have to have my whole brain thinking About only this case, okay? I don't want to -- I-It's for your own safety.
All right? Okay.
Look.
This is ricky.
Memorize him.
Study the case.
Okay.
Then what do you want me to do? Memory reconsolidation.
Our memories are stored, consolidated In what might as well be boxes in our brain -- Same as we'd store photo albums in the attic.
When you recall a memory, you take it out of the box, And when it's out, you can alter it, add things to it, So when you put it back, it's changed.
That's reconsolidation.
You see, i-I always thought it was that.
May the lord help you to know your sins And to accept his mercy and love.
Can we talk somewhere else? Um Uh, no.
This is the confessional.
It's where we confess.
Okay.
Well, the -- The guy that got beat I saw it, too.
Our obstacle here Is something called irrational primacy effect.
Like everyone, father dan is inclined to believe Information he receives early in a series of data.
What i don't like is that i can't use A more precise strategy to overcome it.
Why can't you? Because we don't know what happened that day.
I mean, i'd do steps differently If i knew vincent's son were innocent than if he did it.
Oh, he did it.
Excuse me? Do you think mr.
Vincent would be going through all this If he didn't? Great.
So we're letting a criminal go free? No, no.
H-He's a good kid.
He's just not cut out for this, you know? Probably home right now puking his guts out.
You people think collecting insurance is entry-Level.
It's not.
I told mr.
Vincent, "Look, your kid don't have the aptitude for this.
" But now he wants him to man up, whatever.
Here we are.
How's she do this? Huh? How does she do it? Oh.
Well, first, sam gets father dan To remember what he saw elliot do.
Then she contaminates what he remembers By describing not elliot, but our actor, ricky.
Hello.
Hey.
Uh, um outside the confession box, Is it still, uh -- Oh, what's the word? Umprivileged, uh Communication.
And yes, it is.
Swear it.
Sorry? Yeah, swear to god.
Iswear to god.
Good.
Because i saw that kid that did the beating Same as you.
You witnessed the beating? No, i mean, not -- Not the thing itself, But, uh, but i saw him come out.
The kid that did it -- I saw him pull off that gray ski mask.
You have to tell the police.
No.
Yes.
Oh, no.
Now, you wouldn't have come to me If you didn't feel the need to do your moral duty.
Okay? Just look to what's in your heart.
Yeah, a knife is what's gonna be in my heart If anyone sees me in town.
No, i-I-I can't involve myself with the police at this point.
Let's just leave it at that.
But i don't have to As long as you saw the same as i saw -- The kid with the gray ski mask.
No, a dark-Blue mask.
No.
It was gray w-With the writing on it.
And he pulled his black hoodie over his light-Brown hair.
N-No.
D-Dark hair.
No! It was light-Brown! God.
I can't live with myself If that kid goes free after what he did.
I-I mean, i-I can see it right now.
I'm walking my little dog.
I had a little dog back then -- Foxy.
Pain in the ass.
Sorry.
And she's barking at this kid that i see -- Gray ski mask on, black hoodie underneath his coat, Light-Brown hair poking out.
No.
It was a blue mask, and -- I don't remember a hoodie.
Then you're remembering it wrong.
Look, this kid's got to be punished.
Don't you want to get it right? O-Of course, yes.
I got to go.
L-Let's meet up -- Tomorrow -- So we can get this right.
Please? But can it please not be in the house of god? There's only one diner where i'm still okay -- Jolly's.
Tomorrow.
I don't have a watch anymore, so let's just say 1:00-Ish.
Uh, yes.
Jolly's.
Uh, i'll be there.
Jolly's, tomorrow, 1:00.
Thank youfather.
I-I'll be there.
She's taking her time.
She'll be out.
Relax.
I'm freezing.
Just turn the heater on.
No, no.
You don't want to do that.
You'll die from carbon-Monoxide poisoning.
Seriously? Trust me.
Hastings Oh, sorry -- Dr.
Hastings.
What are you saying? What? What? Oh, miles.
He pulled together these bozos to replace me -- The worst of the worst.
I can't imagine one of them replacing me if God.
It's freezing out there.
Turn on the damn car! She came back.
Sorry you don't get to murder anyone today.
God.
Day's not over.
This doesn't seem like a new strategy.
It seems like the old strategy with new-Color ink.
The closing-Door strategy should work, okay? Closing the door on an option Is experienced by the brain like it's a loss, So we reflexively try to keep the door open on options as often as -- Clark! Hi.
You don't need to do that.
Here.
What is it? It's the name of the guy that I think should replace me.
It's me.
If you can pull off a closing-Door strategy In less than a day And display my most hated rivals in order to push me back in, I'd say this company is in good hands.
Well Thank you.
But it didn't work.
If we signed the papers when we were supposed to, Who knows? Anywaygood luck.
Would it have worked? The closing-Door thing? In this case, no.
But ordinarily -- Why not? Because in order for it to work, You have to actually want the door not to close.
So, this place just doesn't matter enough to you? Is that why you can just walk away? It matters a lot.
I-In fact, i-It mattered more than anything at one point.
It's really hard for people to close doors.
We suck at it.
We stay in touch, have reunions.
We check ourfacebook.
Better to be like that chinese warrior xiang yu.
He sent his army across a river To, uh, face a superior enemy, And then he burned his boats So they either had to fight or die.
Eliminate the options, burn it all So you can't go back.
Even if you really really want to.
Megan.
Please.
I can't keep going through this.
No, i just wanted to tell you That i-I came up with a plan to propose to beth.
Oh.
I almost forgot about that.
So, you'll take her to a nice place That also has a private room you can rent, And you'll call all her friends and relatives.
And when she says yes, you'll take her Right into a party filled with all the people She would have wanted to call and tell anyway.
Um You don't know all her friends and relatives, do you? No.
Okay.
You'll get her phone, And you'll copy all her contacts.
And you might need time for that, so You will "accidentally" take her phone to work with you, And you can switch it when you get back.
Did you just come up with that? I know.
I worry me.
Well, thank you.
You didn't need to do that After i basically turned my back on you.
No, clark, i-I want you to be happy.
Whether we work together or not I care about you.
And i-I don't expect you to invite me to the wedding.
I'm guessing that door will be pretty closed.
But, um I don't know.
Maybe now there will be a little bit of me there anyway.
What are you doing? Leaving -- 'Cause it didn't work.
Look, you followed clark because he believed in you, right? And megan and i are here because ross believed in us.
None of that has changed, miles.
And doing what we do here -- But without all their issues and problems -- To me, it feels like breathing fresh air.
Huh.
Yeah, maybe it does.
We're like the new growth after a forest fire.
Yes, yes.
A-And i'm that naked girl from "game of thrones" Who stood up from the ashes with dragons on her shoulder.
That's awesome.
I know.
disturbing.
Yeah, but -- But who knows? Maybe.
You know? Who can say? Clark said you could do it.
He did.
Mm-Hmm.
I can.
I will! You will.
Yes! Yes.
Wait.
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
I'll just -- I'll have the bank Transfer the payroll accounts to me.
And given recent financial events, I should probably just do that in person.
What recent events? What -- I can't talk about it.
Oh, brilliant -- Starting out fresh But with more "i can't talk about it.
" It's the last one.
I promisekhaleesi.
Okay, father dan's not here yet.
Sam! Don't step -- I don't want him to see you.
He's supposed to meet her here.
Yeah, but he's not.
Instead he's meeting fatherross.
Wow! The devil comes in many disguises.
So, what's the play? Doubt reinforcement.
Father dan is already doubting his recall of elliot -- Thanks to sam -- But he doesn't know it.
So cementing his doubt, making him believe His subconscious is at war with himself Will work best if ross here is also a man of the cloth.
Yeah, that's fine.
I just wish it wasn't a polyester blend.
Ooh.
Okay.
We bought this place out for an hour.
Everyone here is an actor.
I'm a waiter, obviously.
Nate, i need you to be the guy Sitting at the table next to the priest.
Me? No.
Yes.
Just sit there.
If i ask you if you've seen anything, you just say no.
I have a line? Mm-Hmm.
No.
No.
No.
See? You already got it.
You're a natural.
Just -- Hold on.
Moun-- Mountain cat.
He's -- He's here! Let's go.
Come on.
All right.
Get ready.
Nate, i need you out here right now.
Okay? I'm gonna go seat him.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
Don't worry about it.
It'll be fine.
You know, sixth grade, we do, uh, "diary of anne frank.
" I get the smallest role -- Mr.
Kraler.
I come out and say, "there still seems to be some confusion.
" See? You remember it.
It's easy.
Now.
Then, nothing -- Headlights.
You're gonna be fine.
It'll be a piece of cake.
Okay, well, look, um, i got to lock you up somewhere.
What? Why? Yeah, i got to put you in a bathroom or something.
I can't let you roam around here free.
Look, i'm responsible for you, for your -- I know that, but come on.
What i'm trying to say is that, if you run, Who has to come looking for you? And then there we are.
I'm not gonna run.
Okay.
All right.
Hello, father.
Father.
Hey.
Can i get you started with something? Coffee and apple pie.
They have great apple pie, father.
Try it.
Uh, w-- Okay.
Coffee and applepie.
Uh, i'm sorry.
Where's the young woman? Listen to me.
There are discrepancies in your testimony.
What discrepancies? In your memory of the events.
Oh, n-No.
No.
The woman i was meeting had concerns.
I have concerns.
Andwho are you? The facts are the facts.
You saw a young man with light hair.
It was dark hair.
Maybe medium? Maybe.
"Maybe"? There is no maybe.
There is only truth.
"Sanctify them in the truth, And the truth shall set you free.
" Picture it in your mind.
The rain had stopped.
Uh, i don't recall any rain.
That's what i said -- It had stopped.
Now picture it.
The boy comes out -- Brown eyes, gray ski mask with the writing on it -- Zips up his black hoodie.
I think that was a blue ski -- Think?! You have to be sure.
A young man's life is at stake.
You cannot bear false witness.
To break a commandment is a sin.
Owwwwww! Holy hell! What are you doing, man?! Oh, i'm so sorry.
Ohh! I apologize.
I got a towel.
Uhuh, w-Where did he go? Who? The -- The man who was here, the priest.
You're the priest.
And ibrought you apple pie and coffee.
It was two coffees, two pies.
I can -- I can bring you more if you'd like.
H-H-He was just right here.
Excuse me.
S-Sir? Did yousee someone sitting over here? No.
So, yeah, i know it's a big move, But i already pay most of the company's bills, So i figured i'd just put the payroll on my account, you know? No problem at all.
Fudge? I made it for my son to take to school, But now they can't bring fudge.
No idea why.
No, thank you.
Umi didn't know if i had to go through Some sort of special procedure, though.
Do we need to notify the fbi? Why would that be? 'Cause of the -- Huh.
Maybe you're not aware of the investigation.
Right.
Okay.
Uh, so -- So, i probably shouldn't be, um -- Maybe you can -- You can, uh, put me in touch With the electronic fraud prevention officer.
Yeah.
Uhthat's not a thing.
Yes, it is.
It's a thing.
I-I met him, sohe's a thing.
I'm not sure how you could have.
And yet, i did.
I was in his office.
Here.
He gave me his card.
Nope.
There's no branch there.
There is a branch there.
I was in the branch there, like a week ago.
And i have been with this bank for over 20 years.
There's my over-20-Year plaque right there.
And i'm telling you -- There's not, nor has there ever been A branch of this bank at that location.
So if you were there, You must have been there in the future.
Welcome, traveler.
Have some fudge.
Okay, after the diner and meeting an imaginary priest, Father dan has to be wondering If his brain is trying to stop him from making a mistake.
We set him up.
Now the knockout punch.
Another text.
Who keeps texting you? Uh, it's no one.
It's a picture of a dog.
- It's a pug.
Why would somebody be sending you pictures of a pug? It's beth's friend.
They have two pugs.
Why are beth's friends sending you photos of pugs? I hate pugs.
Their eyeballs could fall out.
It's beth's phone.
I grabbed the wrong one.
We have each other's phones, okay? Can we focus on t-The case, please? Oh, really? No more pug talk? All right.
Father dan volunteers at a youth shelter On thursday nights.
This evening, i'll be waiting along his route to the shelter In disguise since he's already seen me.
Right when he passes me, Our elliot look-Alike will appear to mug me, Giving the priest a good look at him.
And everything will come together.
He'll see this guy Looking exactly like sam and ross described him Committing a crime, And he'll realize this could be the one He saw on the street the day of the beating, not elliot -- The other guy.
He'll have no idea.
Was it him? Did he get it wrong? And he'll doubt his ability to say what he saw With any accuracy.
And he'll pull out.
Nice.
So glad you liked it.
All right, let's get out of here.
Um, we need to go pick ricky up and get in place.
You know, it feels like being in the locker room Right before the game.
Hey, uh, clark I don't know if you've noticed, but, i mean We're working pretty well together For two guys who are supposed to be splitting up.
I mean, does it really have to be the end? Yeah.
We are working well together.
But we're working well together in the commission of a felony.
So yes -- It does have to end.
Well, then, let's, uh, make it a win.
We sure as hell better.
We burned our boats.
So, what is this movie, anyway? Um You know, it's kind of like ahidden-Camera tv show.
Where are the cameras? Were you listening? They're hidden.
I-I got this, nate.
Um, okay, so, listen.
Pretty soon, a priest is gonna come this way.
Now, when i say "go," all you have to do Is run up to that guy right there -- You see him? Push him down, take his wallet, And make sure the priest sees you.
I have to shove a guy? Well -- - Don't worry about it.
Look, he's a stuntman.
He can make it look very real.
Afterwards, we'll interview the priest About what he saw or what he thought he saw.
And then people who watch the show Will learn a lot more about unreliable memories.
What show is it? It's a show.
You're getting paid.
Okay? Hey.
Miles.
What? Miles? Miles.
Okay.
All right, i'll be right there.
Miles? What is -- W-What is it? It's probably nothing.
I'll call you later.
Wh-- Oh, there he is.
There he is.
You ready? What happened?! I know what i saw.
I don't have to go to the police.
I'll just go to the fbi.
No.
Ross, listen.
Listen, okay? I need to get a private investigator, And then i have to tell my parents, Because they're probably the real marks here.
What are you gonna tell your parents -- You can't be trusted to handle your own bank account? The day before this happened, You were supposed to go check out oliver with sam.
I never got a chance to ask.
W-We had a fight.
Yeah, and then she disappeared.
Yeah.
T-The very same day that this all happened.
Yeah.
No! Miles -- Oh, my god.
Do you think that she knew about this? Oh, my god! Do you think that she was in on this? No! No, of course not.
Ross, did he call? Did who call? I only got a call from you, but i was -- No, that call was from clark on my phone.
We have each other's phones.
So when i saw that i missed a call from me, I listened to the message.
Okay.
And he knows! Knows what? What does he know? Miles? "I'm talking to miles" is what i'm trying to tell you.
No, there were texts, ross, still on my phone.
What are you saying? You didn't erase them? I forgot about them! What texts? Is it about the bank? Shut up about the bank! "Shut up about" -- I can't go home.
I can't look at him -- No, no.
All right.
Don't go home.
Don't talk to him.
Don't see him until we have figured out -- Hey! Get out here.
Clark.
Oh, my god.
Hey.
What, are you getting your stories straight? Clark, wait.
Just -- I've got it all -- All of it.
And it started months before i met beth.
Wait -- What? They set me up.
Listen, it was -- You did it together! You conned me like one of your marks! No, no.
Listen.
O-O-Only at first.
I did it for y-- Yeah, spin it, ross! Come on.
Spin it.
Come on.
Make me believe it.
Make me believe it.
Make me -- Make me feel crazy for not trusting you.
What is he talking about? Come on! Look -- Where'd you guys meet -- Prison? No! Where are you from? Wisconsin.
Liar! Kansas! I'm from kansas.
It's not her fault.
She took money to lure me in! Do you know what kind of person does that? Yes.
Listen, clark, it's not her.
I-It's all me.
Okay? I'm sorry.
I did it.
But i-I did it for you.
I did.
You did it for me? And myes.
I'm sorry, all right? But -- Sam? What are you doing back here? You ran off.
Who's this guy? T-T-This is nate.
He wanted to know that everything was okay.
It's not!! Clark, please.
I love you, and i-I-- Stop lying! She is not lying, okay? It's true! True?! How would you know what the truth is, ross?! T-T-That's why i hired sam in the first place.
I was testing her to see if she really loved you.
What?! You knew about it? I knew she was wrong from the beginning.
Did everybody know about it?! Were you all just sitting back here Laughing at me the whole time? No, clark.
We didn't know.
What about the fake bank? Did you know about that, too? The bank? Yes, the bank.
The bank.
The same one that disappeared the same day that you did.
Miles, i'm so sorry.
Oh, my god.
But look -- Look, i-I didn't take your money.
I swear to god i didn't take it.
Ross talked me out of it.
You knew? Of course he knew, miles.
The whole time, you're telling me to sit tight.
You're making me look like a fool! You're telling me everything's fine, And you knew that she was doing it! Megan is back here planning my engagement! Engagement? I bought a ring, beth! Clark.
Do you want your ring? I am so sorry.
S-S-S-Shut up!! Everything out of your mouth is a lie! Everything out of his mouth -- Lies! Fake banks! F-False promises.
Everything it's just -- None of this is real.
Everything is fake! This isn't real.
What are you doing? This isn't real! Stop breaking things! Clark, stop! This isn't real! That's not real! Please! None of this! All of it is built on nothing! Lies! None of this is real! I'm calling 911! Yeah, call 911.
This isn't real! Clark, no, put the chair down.
Don't hurt him! Clark, i'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Must have been one hell of a party.
But i guess that's why we have insurance, right? So? Did it work? It will.
Excuse me? You said friday.
