Standoff s01e15 Episode Script
Lie to Me
Dad, Dad, it's like the merry-go-round in the movie.
The pier's a lot cooler at night, isn't it, buddy? What movie is he talking about? Strangers On a Train.
You let him watch Strangers On a Train? He fell asleep halfway through.
You know what wouldbe fun to do? You mean besides work? Let's tell each other a secret.
What? Something that we've never told anybody else before.
What are you talking about? I've got mine.
You go first.
Okay.
Um I got my high school girlfriend pregnant.
End of senior year.
Wow, and you didn't? No, no, no, no.
She had she had a miscarriage.
Oh.
But you guys were going to have? It's your turn.
What's your secret? Matt, that's kind of huge.
Yeah, I thought that was the point.
Come on, what's your secret? I love you.
You said That's it? That's it? That's your secret? -Yeah.
Uh-huh, yeah,you better kiss me.
Yeah.
That's my secret.
I have ways of making you talk.
Yeah? -Yeah.
What are they? ??? Okay, Ollie, now you sign your name right here next to mine.
Hey, man, we're going to hang that up in the living room.
All right now.
Or maybe your room.
Oliver, baby, you want some cotton candy? -Yeah.
Ooh, me, too, babe.
You need money? No, I got it.
-Okay.
Here you go.
Look, look! Okay, wait a minute,wait a minute.
Oh, careful with that thing.
That is an elegant weapon from a more civilized age.
Oh, damn it.
Hang on a second,buddy.
Let me see how much tape we have left.
All right, six minutes of fun.
All right, let me see that swing one more time.
Oliver? Oliver! Oliver! Oliver! Roscoe, where is he? I don't know.
He was just standing right in front of me.
Oliver! -Oliver! Oliver! What's going on? Oliver Marsh,eight years old, Abducted from the Ventura Pier right from under the nose of his parents.
Ransom? No, but a proof of life photo was sent to every major network with a demand that it be show on the 6:00 or the boy will be killed.
Decision falls to me.
I wanted to run it by you before I made the call.
Oh, my God.
Is this a joke? I wish it was.
Do you know this boy? Uh, no, no.
I've never seen him before this moment,right now.
Tell them to air it.
We told the police everything.
-What about the tape? We gave them the tape.
-We're looking at that.
Right now we need to look at you.
Your family,your friends.
Us?! What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Listen, most of these cases, -the victim knows the abductor.
We don't know anybody who'd do this.
I work at the Gas Company.
She works for Social Security.
We're a normal family.
We live in Culver City.
We don't haveAll right, enough.
We want to talk to Emily Lehman.
Who is she? She works here.
We know that.
Who is she, and what does she have to do with us? Mrs.
Marsh, this works better when I ask the questions.
But we don't know anything.
-Neither do we.
Mrs.
Marsh I'm Emily Lehman.
I have no idea why my name is on that sign, but I can tell you this, that we have everyone doing everything they can to find your son.
We're going to find him.
Which is why we need to ask some questions.
So ask.
Kidnappings, barricades,warrants, high-risk suicides.
That's in the last five years.
Before that I was in Phoenix,but not as a negotiator.
How many as primary? Okay, the real question is how many of these people aren't in prison? Greatest hits.
How about the phone banks? No real tips.
But a lot of calls.
This one really brought out the crazies.
Okay, here's one--Rob Cerillo.
Aryan Nation rapist.
I served a high-risk warrant on this guy and it went bad.
Yeah, I remember that one.
Lasted all night and he tried to come after you when we cuffed him.
All right, he's on parole.
Call his PO.
Got it.
How about this guy? Jeb Sanders.
"Somebody you're going to know what it's like to lose everything"? Yeah, well, I had a lot of rage back then.
I restore motorcycles now.
I got a gift for rebuilding engines.
Like your gift for robbing banks? I did my time.
What about last night, Jeb? What were you doing then? I was in bed by 9:00.
I got to open the shop at 7:00.
So the system fixed you.
Is that what you're trying to tell us? The system didn't fix me.
You did.
We were on the phone a long time.
The things you said to me,they, uh they stayed with me, all right? Opened my eyes.
Got it.
Thanks.
All right, just got confirmation that this guy still lives in San Francisco.
He's a bust, too.
Okay, and she is in Arkansas in jail arrested last week for assault.
Lia, what's the word with Cerillo's PO? He's on home detention.
Probably hasn't left his place.
-Wearing an ankle monitor? I didn't confirm that.
Uh, don't you think you should? Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I will.
You know, it's times like this, I wish I was still doing homicide.
You roll up to a scene,there's a dead body, but you ask a couple questions and then you see the guy at trial.
This is always Personal.
Yeah, every time out.
Okay, we need to widen our search.
It's not just the people that I've taken down.
They're not the only ones who hold a grudge.
You destroyed my life.
You took Jerry away from mefrom his family.
No, Mrs.
Gandon,the kidnappers did that.
I trusted you to talk to them, to bring my husband back.
Why did you trust them? We're not here to retread the lawsuit,Mrs.
Gandon.
We just want to know where you were last night.
I know why you're here.
You think I had something to do with that boy on the news.
Just answer the question.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about my husband and the people who let him die.
I hate you.
I will always hate you.
But I'm not a monster.
Emily Lehman.
No, I can't comment on an ongoing case.
Just hang up on him.
You'll have to talk to the Office of Public Affairs.
I know about as much as you guys, all right? We'll get somebody on that line and filter out the press calls.
Emily,you were right about the ankle monitor for Rob Cerillo.
I checked the signal log.
He was in Ventura last night.
He was on the pier? Where is he now? Monitor places him at his residence, but he's not answering the phone.
Oh, boy.
Got the monitor.
Got the ankle.
Rigor.
Looks like he's been here all night.
All right, so somebody kills Cerillo, saws the ankle off, takes the monitor to the pier and then brings it back here? It must have been somebody who knew we'd be looking at past HTs.
Aren't those files classified? It's hard to keep a hostage crisis on the down low.
Must have been collecting your newspaper clippings.
Looks like Oliver Marsh's handwriting.
He knows we're coming.
Let's keep it light and tight.
Well, this is definitely the house.
Alpha takes the front.
Bravo secure the rear.
Prep for rapid entry.
No one's lived in the house for six years.
No water, no power, no gas.
Pictures of Oliver were taken in a pretty dark place.
Well, then he's probably in there.
Let's make contact.
Whoever it is is gonna want to talk to you.
Which is why you should start.
Check one, two.
Hello, Emily.
Who is this? This is your hostage taker,your HT, which means I have a gun to a young, innocent head,so don't come closer.
Yeah, we're outside at a safe distance.
Just where you wanted us.
Lia, we just got a call from inside; I thought you said there's no power.
There's one phone line active inside.
It's all that's active inside.
Set up two months ago.
No call lock.
Now I expected you sooner.
You took your time getting to Cerillo.
You killed him? He's a heavy sleeper.
Who are you? You don't remember me?I remember you.
Well, let me hear your real voice.
Maybe then I'll remember you.
Mm, maybe, maybe not.
You told the world it was all my fault.
Why? What did I do? You lied to me.
What did I lie to you about? Truth consequences,cause and effect I do this and Ow!That happens.
Ow, stop.
Stop! You don't need to hurt anybody else.
I'm here, I'm outside,I'm listening to you.
Good, then listen very closely.
This is what consequence sounds like.
He shot him.
Frank, it's yours.
What happened here? He set this up inside the front window.
Rifle with an electronic trigger system set to receive a cell phone signal.
What about the gunshots we heard over the phone? I had to have fired that simultaneously with the remote trigger.
It's a little on the premeditative side.
Start a track on the gun.
We still haven't figured out where he forwarded the call from.
Well, good luck with that.
It's got to be somewhere we can fire shots that aren't calling too much attention.
It's like Matt said,all right, he's premeditated.
He was going to kill the boy anyway.
There's nothing you could've done to have changed that.
The boy's alive.
How do you know that? Because if he were dead,this would be over.
He wants to see you squirm.
It's not over.
-Hey, we're gonna find this guy, all right? And I'm going to take his ass down.
Till then you do not let him see you sweat.
I don't have to, Frank.
I should let everybody see me sweat.
Special Agent Lehman will be out momentarily to make her statement, and then she will go back to work.
I will stay to answer any questions that I can.
What is Lehman's connection to Oliver Marsh? -No comment.
You sure you want to do this? I don't have a choice;I'm not going to sit back and wait for him to spring another trap.
Maybe he has already.
Maybe this is part of it.
He doesn't know that I'm going to do this.
Right, like he didn't know we were going to check up on past HTs on drop in on Rob Cerillo? Well, maybe there's another connection to Cerillo.
It's not in this fileor this file.
Maybe we can cross-check the other ones to it.
Are you sure you didn't lie to any of these guys? Matt.
I'm not saying that it's wrong to lie to HTs,I do it all the time.
I know that.
It can be risky.
Yeah, which is why I don't do it.
Before I partnered with you, I wouldn't even have entertained the idea.
I mean, I Check the logs yourself if you don't believe me.
I believe you -Well, then why are you coming at me like I'm guilty or something? Because in this guy's mind, you are, okay? This guy does his homework.
If he's got something to hide, he's gonna find it, and he's gonna use it against you.
Forget about the files, all right? Is there something you want to tell me? Something you did,somebody from your past, anything that could be used to hurt you? -No.
Show time.
My name is Emily Lehman.
I am a special agent with the Los Angeles Crisis Negotiation Unit, and my statement is for the person holding Oliver Marsh.
You have declined to identify yourself, but you claimed to know me, to have met me,and that when we met, I lied to you.
With great regret and even greater frustration, I cannot claim to know you or to remember you.
I'm not a perfect person.
Ask anyone who knows me They'll tell you I have my faults just like anyone else.
But I am willing to admit I was wrong.
Olive Marsh hasn'tlied to you.
He hasn't wronged you.
You have a grudge with me.
Don't take it out on him.
Agent Lehman,are you aware of the sex tape that's just been received by Channel Six? Excuse me, what? Who were you with last night? Who's the man on the tape with you? Is it in any way connected to the abduction? Did you make the tape yourself? Turn it off.
Date stamp is from last night.
Shut it off.
Date stamp's a fake that was two nights ago.
That son of a bitch was at my house, I'm going to put a bullet in his head.
What are you looking at? You want us to play it again for you? All right, where does this get sent out to? Same network as the photo.
No return address in the packages.
All are postmarked in the central branch and Union Station.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
He wants to humiliate me.
He wants to make this public.
Media, so that everybody sees.
We have to narrow this, okay? You know, it's an eye for an eye.
All right, Emily.
No, it's eye for an eye.
He must've been humiliated.
He somehow blames me,so we need to focus on incidents with the most media coverage, the most falloutYou should move this to my office, okay? That's a great idea.
Wait.
A call just came through the main board.
Says he's Oliver Marsh.
Signal is encrypted.
All right,run a voiceprint match off the DV tape at the pier.
If he's using the kid,he's trying to throw you off guard.
Don't let him.
It's Emily.
Hello, this is Oliver Marsh.
-Um Dad, dad, just like the merry-go-round in the movie! Hi, Oliver, are you okay? Yes.
Are you hurt? I scraped my knee,but it's dry now.
I am not hurt for now.
And you're not alone.
I liked you on TV you were good? He's being scripted.
What do you want? I want you to do your job.
I want you to find me.
-All right.
And I want you to come alone.
Name the time and the place.
That's no my job.
That's not.
You have 24 hours to find me, or else I'll be dropped off back at home, and we'll start over with another.
I want to go now.
Oh, my God.
He doesn't know what he's saying.
This is sick.
Look, you won, okay? You got me.
Take the boy off the phone.
You've shown everyone just how smart you are and how powerful you are and what a coward you are.
You want to kill me, don't you? No, I don't even know you, okay?! And I don't think you know me.
I think you're the liar.
I know you.
Keep going.
It's not scrambled.
No, no, you're just obsessed with me, and you're trying to get my attention.
I have your attention.
and I know everything about you.
There's nothing I don't know about you.
You were born April 10,5:30 in the morning, at Albany Memorial Hospital.
You were a lonely,with pigtails.
In middle school,you didn't have any friends so you had to make one up.
His names was Scott Barrett.
He was rich and he lived in a skyscraper in Manhattan.
You sent him letters, but you didn't put stamps on them.
You still think I'm a liar? You still want to call me a liar?! No.
Do you recognize this man? Do we? I ran it against all recorded negotiations no match.
Open that up.
-NCIC, TID.
Every voice database we have access to.
They're not going to find them, are they? This isn't an HT.
This is somebody you knew from before, back in New York? When you were growing up? I don't know who he is but I know who he talked to.
Carol Wolfe.
Welcome to San Joaquin.
We've cleared the visitation room for you.
Thank you.
If it's not private enough,we have a low-security room in the conjugal wing.
-That won't be necessary.
Hi, Allison.
You look older.
You know why I'm here? Sure.
Who's the guy? That's what I want you to tell me.
No, no, I meant the guy you walked in with.
It's my partner.
Mm? What's his name? You nailing him? AllieI-I know why you're here.
It's been seven years,and you wonder, "How's my big sister doing? Maybe I'll pay her a visit.
" She's had one visitor in the last four years--Marcus Krill, signed in three months ago,October 29, 1:35 p.
m.
He talked to her for an hour.
Marcus Krill? -You know him? No.
Do you have security video on visitors? Yes.
Unfortunately, the tapes get erased and reused every Three months.
Perfect.
-Well, we're up for budget reevaluation next year.
Write your congressman.
-Right.
Is that it? -Yes.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, hey, Allison Lehman,what's she in for? Distribution.
Serving ten.
Didn't your partner tell you? Yeah.
No, she did.
And what, you didn't believe her? He's cute.
What's that? -This is a deal from the U.
S.
Attorney's Office.
Guarantees you a reduced sentence if you help us out on this.
-Oh, man, that is great.
That is just great-- now you come to help.
Look, all you have to do is describe the man that visited you,and you'll be out in three months.
Do you remember the last time we saw each other? I do.
Yeah, I remember Really? Where was it? It was right here.
Actually,it was right over there,two booths down.
No, I'm just kidding.
I really I don't remember.
-Allison, do you know that an eight-year-old boy is going to die "I can't help you!" That's what you said! What I said? You wouldn't even talk to me.
I asked you to look into my case.
I did and you were guilty.
Well, what the hell does that have to do with anything? You are my sister,you are an FBI agent you could pull a few strings and bounce me out.
-I had just gotten into the FBI, okay? I couldn't pull strings then,and I can't pull them now.
Well, then what the hell is that, a lie? -No, it's not a lie.
We need your help to find the man that you talked to.
Look, if you don't help us out, we can charge you as an accessory for kidnapping.
Oh, yeah,try to make that stick.
You know, I was sharing a few childhood memories with a stranger.
Allison, cut the crap!a couple of months ago.
I don't really remember what he looked like orAllie I have one and five left on my sentence, and I think it's worth sticking it out to see you get taught a lesson.
Is that what he said he's gonna do? He's gonna teach me a lesson? Did he tell you he was gonna kill an innocent kid to do it? No.
But kids die all the time.
Oh, is something wrong, Emily? Go rot in your cage.
No, you're the one that's gonna rot,you little slut! I hope he kills that kid, and then I hope he kills you, too! Em Hey, Em.
All right, this is a dead end, okay? We shouldn't have come.
-No, we should've been here yesterday, like when I asked you point-blank whether you had anything that could be used against you--that would've been a good time to say, "I have a sisterin Federal prison.
"Yeah, I have a sister in Federal sister.
It's her crime, her business,and nobody else's.
There she is!Emily,can we get a statement? Are you visiting your sister Allison for any reason? How is she connected to the abduction of Oliver Marsh? Wait a minute, how did you know I was here? Take a guess.
Earlier today,Federal Agent Emily Lehman avoided answering our questions.
Hang in there, buddy.
Only got ten more hours.
We're not buddies.
Yeah? Then how come I got you this really cool coat and hat? I'm not cold.
But you're gonna be where we're going.
I have your attention, and I know everything about you.
There's nothing I don't know about you.
Still no match? Ran it through VICAP at Quantico--it's a nationwide search.
Nothing.
Nothing on Marcus Krill,either-- it's a fake I.
D.
At least we're narrowing down the suspects.
Yeah, to zero.
You know, the fact that there's no voice match tells us something.
Not every incident gets recorded, right? What, you mean the ones that are over before they start? Like instant surrenders.
Right.
Well, that doesn't exactly give them a chance to start a blood feud against me.
It gives you enough time to tell somebody a lie.
What is that supposed to mean? I don't know.
Ask Mr.
X.
He seems pretty convinced that's what happened.
And you believe him now? Should I start filtering out Instants we recorded through ARSIMS, print out a shorter list of suspects? -Yeah.
What did Cheryl say about the results from the VICAP? I don't know.
I e-mailed her.
She's in her office fielding calls about you.
For press? From DC.
Cheryl, this thing about my sister.
It's okay.
I told them.
You told them what? The upper-ups--they've been watching the local news coverage.
I told them that at the time of your recruitment you did not know that your sister was serving time.
-No.
In fact,you didn't know where she was.
Nobody did.
We, um hadn't heard from Allison in years, and we thought she was overseas.
Right.
Which your parents confirmed at the time of their background interview.
So, when did you find out your sister was inside? Well I had just graduated from the academy, and I had access to NCIC,so I did a background check, and, um I mean, I didn't expect to find her.
She, you know, she was always in trouble, and it was quite a shock.
I-I don't know.
I guess that's why I didn't report it.
Well, I told them that you reported it to me as soon as you transferred into this unit, and that I told you not to worry about it.
Cheryl, you didn't need to No.
I can take the heat.
It's okay.
You have enough to deal with.
Thank you.
Emily, you should know that this guy has done you permanent harm.
By drawing attention to your sister, there's a spot on your record now that can't be erased,and it's gonna follow you your whole career.
What does that mean? It means that there's a limit to how far you can go in the Bureau.
It means that that glass ceiling just got bulletproof.
That's all right.
All I care about is getting the kid back.
And that's why you're still on the case.
Thank you.
Ah.
The boyfriend.
What's the matter,Emily's upset so she sent you to beat me up? No, Emily doesn't know I'm here.
Oh, is that right? You just came back here all on your own and told them to set this up in the conjugal room I thought we should do this face to face.
We don't have to do it that way if you don't want to.
I'm gonna give you two chances to cooperate.
Take the deal for the reduced sentence, tell me about the guy that came to see you your sister doesn't have to know that you helped us out.
That was your first chance.
You think I'm nothing, don't you? You think I'm pathetic.
You had no idea who I was before I came here.
I-I don't care.
Emily does,which is why she probably wouldn't like what I'm gonna do.
All I have to do is scream.
Really? All I have to do is whisper.
What? You know, there's about 8,000 women here in San Joaquin.
Take a guess how many of them are mothers.
Turns out it's about 80%.
That's 6,400 inmates that are gonna find out that you just spit on a chance to save somebody's little boy.
Do you remember what they did to that woman up at Tehachapi? Well, I'm sure they'll take that into account that you only helped kill one.
But we'll find out.
Word travels pretty fast in a henhouse.
You should dump her, man.
She's crazier than me.
You just haven't seen it yet.
Okay.
See you, Allie.
He's a big guy, bald.
Totally bald, no hair.
Aryan Brotherhood? No.
How do you know? 'Cause of the way he talked--he was educated.
But he'd been inside.
-He told you that? He didn't say anything about himself.
I asked him,but he wouldn't say.
What Emily had done to him,none of that.
He didn't tell me he was taking any other kid.
So how do you know he's a convict? Tattoo, back of his head.
I saw it when he walked away.
Describe it.
Tobin Jensen? Yeah.
June of 2002.
You remember him? Yeah.
Yeah,I remember him.
Why am I just hearing about this? He wasn't one of the original 33.
We were only looking at violent offenders barricaders.
We weren't looking at high-risk suicides.
What did you do to him? What did I do?I saved his life.
Literally.
I talked him off the ledge.
He was about to throw himself off his own building.
His own building? Yeah, he's got a couple of them.
Big-shot real estate guy.
Multimillionaire philanthropist.
Family man.
Pederast.
One of the kids in his son's Little League team told his mom that Jensen had touched him.
The mom went to the cops,who showed up at his office.
Before you know it, he's on the roof threatening to jump.
I mean, I don'tWhere do you get Tobin Jensen? Well, first of all,the timeline matches up.
You talk him off the ledge four years ago.
He goes down for ten in San Quentin.
He serves three, and then he's released six months ago for good behavior, so he's got plenty of time to set this all up.
Motive is wrongful conviction.
No, no.
He admitted to everything in court.
I mean, he admitted it to me on the rooftop.
This guy was ashamed.
I don't think this is the guy.
Your sister said that the guy a visitor had a tattoo on the back of the neck.
Okay? Angel with one wing.
That's a prison tat.
It's given to you by your blockmates.
It singles you out as a short-eyes.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
Go back a second.
The child molester in your case file is Tobin Jensen.
-When did you talk to my sister? About an hour ago.
We got two hours till the deadline, okay? I haven't been able to locate him 'cause the ex-wife and the kids haven't seen him since the release.
They don't want to.
Okay, you shouldn't have talked to her.
Why is that? This isn't good.
This is This is a setup.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Yeah.
Same as Rob Cerillo.
Your talk-down with the guy was not recorded, all right? You worked there all by yourself.
It's in all the papers, Matt.
It shocked the entire community.
I can't believe you talked to her without talking to me.
Well, you can't talk to her.
You don't know anything about her! Whose fault is that? All right, both of you, stop it! This is worthless! She played you.
Freeze! Come on in.
You made it.
Help.
Look who's here, Oliver.
Hi, Emily.
Here we are all over again.
Glad you remembered the address.
Still think you made the right decision four years ago? Let's find out.
Oliver, are you okay? I think the gun's scaring him.
Why don't you lose it? Okay, it's down.
No, no, no, no.
Lose it.
Toss it over the side.
It's not going to do you any good.
You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to drop the magazine.
I'm going to clear the chamber.
There.
It's useless now.
-Good.
Now tell your partner to do the same thing.
I came here alone, Tobin,just like you asked.
Don't lie to me! Emily! So you followed me? Tobin Been at my house.
I don't think we've officially met.
Uncuff the boy or I'll shoot you directly between the eyes.
I came here to die, so the death threat's not too effective.
Matt.
Besides, if you shoot me, I fall.
If I fall,he goes with me.
Help.
Lose the gun.
Tobin, don't do this.
Why not? Oh,because, uh life is worth living.
Because I have the power to change and become a better person.
Yeah.
That's the truth.
I said tt.
You were going to jump.
I should have jumped.
I deserved to die.
You denied me that.
I saved your life.
I did my job.
Well, then,I guess this is all kind of an occupational hazard.
The price you payStop right there! Either one of you get any closer, we both go over.
Okay.
Okay, take it easy.
You know what they did to me when I was in prison, after they found out why I was there? They taught me that you don't have to die to go to hell.
Because of you,I was put on suicide watch, so I couldn't die even if I wanted to, but thanks for saving my life.
You know,you want to jump,nobody's going to stop you.
Trust me.
But don't take it out on Oliver.
He doesn't deserve it.
Yeah, but then how are you going to learn? Right, Emily? We have to fall down before we can pick ourselves up.
Remember that? I do! I don't know what you were selling that day, but I guess I was buying.
I wasn't selling, Tobin.
No, you were lying.
You told me suicide was a coward's way out.
That what kind of message would I be sending my own kids if I did that.
My own kids who,when I called them from prison, they said"Why didn't you just jump?" You know, you deserve what you got.
You know that,Tobin, right? You know, the only problem is you didn't suffer enough.
Death isn't good enough for what you did.
They don't have a punishment good enough for what you did.
That's why you didn't jump.
All you can hope is to suffer as much as those kids you wrecked for life.
You take away their trust so that they can't trust anybody, even with people that they loved.
You make it so that they have to be alone for the rest of their lives.
Just like me.
Yeah.
Grab him! Secure the roof.
Get a blanket up here for the kid.
We're going to get you home.
Yeah? You're safe now.
Your lawyer called.
Said you wanted to see me.
I heard you got the kid back.
Yeah.
So what about my deal? No.
You passed on that.
Remember? No.
I don't.
Ally.
You have one in five left in your sentence, and I thing it's worth you sticking it out.
So, um what did you say to that guy? I told him the story about you.
Oh, yeah? And what story was that? That you got all the luck in life,and I didn't? Yeah.
Thanks for waiting.
Oh, no sweat.
How did it go? That good, huh? So you got any more big secrets I should know about? Fresh out.
Good.
The pier's a lot cooler at night, isn't it, buddy? What movie is he talking about? Strangers On a Train.
You let him watch Strangers On a Train? He fell asleep halfway through.
You know what wouldbe fun to do? You mean besides work? Let's tell each other a secret.
What? Something that we've never told anybody else before.
What are you talking about? I've got mine.
You go first.
Okay.
Um I got my high school girlfriend pregnant.
End of senior year.
Wow, and you didn't? No, no, no, no.
She had she had a miscarriage.
Oh.
But you guys were going to have? It's your turn.
What's your secret? Matt, that's kind of huge.
Yeah, I thought that was the point.
Come on, what's your secret? I love you.
You said That's it? That's it? That's your secret? -Yeah.
Uh-huh, yeah,you better kiss me.
Yeah.
That's my secret.
I have ways of making you talk.
Yeah? -Yeah.
What are they? ??? Okay, Ollie, now you sign your name right here next to mine.
Hey, man, we're going to hang that up in the living room.
All right now.
Or maybe your room.
Oliver, baby, you want some cotton candy? -Yeah.
Ooh, me, too, babe.
You need money? No, I got it.
-Okay.
Here you go.
Look, look! Okay, wait a minute,wait a minute.
Oh, careful with that thing.
That is an elegant weapon from a more civilized age.
Oh, damn it.
Hang on a second,buddy.
Let me see how much tape we have left.
All right, six minutes of fun.
All right, let me see that swing one more time.
Oliver? Oliver! Oliver! Oliver! Roscoe, where is he? I don't know.
He was just standing right in front of me.
Oliver! -Oliver! Oliver! What's going on? Oliver Marsh,eight years old, Abducted from the Ventura Pier right from under the nose of his parents.
Ransom? No, but a proof of life photo was sent to every major network with a demand that it be show on the 6:00 or the boy will be killed.
Decision falls to me.
I wanted to run it by you before I made the call.
Oh, my God.
Is this a joke? I wish it was.
Do you know this boy? Uh, no, no.
I've never seen him before this moment,right now.
Tell them to air it.
We told the police everything.
-What about the tape? We gave them the tape.
-We're looking at that.
Right now we need to look at you.
Your family,your friends.
Us?! What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Listen, most of these cases, -the victim knows the abductor.
We don't know anybody who'd do this.
I work at the Gas Company.
She works for Social Security.
We're a normal family.
We live in Culver City.
We don't haveAll right, enough.
We want to talk to Emily Lehman.
Who is she? She works here.
We know that.
Who is she, and what does she have to do with us? Mrs.
Marsh, this works better when I ask the questions.
But we don't know anything.
-Neither do we.
Mrs.
Marsh I'm Emily Lehman.
I have no idea why my name is on that sign, but I can tell you this, that we have everyone doing everything they can to find your son.
We're going to find him.
Which is why we need to ask some questions.
So ask.
Kidnappings, barricades,warrants, high-risk suicides.
That's in the last five years.
Before that I was in Phoenix,but not as a negotiator.
How many as primary? Okay, the real question is how many of these people aren't in prison? Greatest hits.
How about the phone banks? No real tips.
But a lot of calls.
This one really brought out the crazies.
Okay, here's one--Rob Cerillo.
Aryan Nation rapist.
I served a high-risk warrant on this guy and it went bad.
Yeah, I remember that one.
Lasted all night and he tried to come after you when we cuffed him.
All right, he's on parole.
Call his PO.
Got it.
How about this guy? Jeb Sanders.
"Somebody you're going to know what it's like to lose everything"? Yeah, well, I had a lot of rage back then.
I restore motorcycles now.
I got a gift for rebuilding engines.
Like your gift for robbing banks? I did my time.
What about last night, Jeb? What were you doing then? I was in bed by 9:00.
I got to open the shop at 7:00.
So the system fixed you.
Is that what you're trying to tell us? The system didn't fix me.
You did.
We were on the phone a long time.
The things you said to me,they, uh they stayed with me, all right? Opened my eyes.
Got it.
Thanks.
All right, just got confirmation that this guy still lives in San Francisco.
He's a bust, too.
Okay, and she is in Arkansas in jail arrested last week for assault.
Lia, what's the word with Cerillo's PO? He's on home detention.
Probably hasn't left his place.
-Wearing an ankle monitor? I didn't confirm that.
Uh, don't you think you should? Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I will.
You know, it's times like this, I wish I was still doing homicide.
You roll up to a scene,there's a dead body, but you ask a couple questions and then you see the guy at trial.
This is always Personal.
Yeah, every time out.
Okay, we need to widen our search.
It's not just the people that I've taken down.
They're not the only ones who hold a grudge.
You destroyed my life.
You took Jerry away from mefrom his family.
No, Mrs.
Gandon,the kidnappers did that.
I trusted you to talk to them, to bring my husband back.
Why did you trust them? We're not here to retread the lawsuit,Mrs.
Gandon.
We just want to know where you were last night.
I know why you're here.
You think I had something to do with that boy on the news.
Just answer the question.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about my husband and the people who let him die.
I hate you.
I will always hate you.
But I'm not a monster.
Emily Lehman.
No, I can't comment on an ongoing case.
Just hang up on him.
You'll have to talk to the Office of Public Affairs.
I know about as much as you guys, all right? We'll get somebody on that line and filter out the press calls.
Emily,you were right about the ankle monitor for Rob Cerillo.
I checked the signal log.
He was in Ventura last night.
He was on the pier? Where is he now? Monitor places him at his residence, but he's not answering the phone.
Oh, boy.
Got the monitor.
Got the ankle.
Rigor.
Looks like he's been here all night.
All right, so somebody kills Cerillo, saws the ankle off, takes the monitor to the pier and then brings it back here? It must have been somebody who knew we'd be looking at past HTs.
Aren't those files classified? It's hard to keep a hostage crisis on the down low.
Must have been collecting your newspaper clippings.
Looks like Oliver Marsh's handwriting.
He knows we're coming.
Let's keep it light and tight.
Well, this is definitely the house.
Alpha takes the front.
Bravo secure the rear.
Prep for rapid entry.
No one's lived in the house for six years.
No water, no power, no gas.
Pictures of Oliver were taken in a pretty dark place.
Well, then he's probably in there.
Let's make contact.
Whoever it is is gonna want to talk to you.
Which is why you should start.
Check one, two.
Hello, Emily.
Who is this? This is your hostage taker,your HT, which means I have a gun to a young, innocent head,so don't come closer.
Yeah, we're outside at a safe distance.
Just where you wanted us.
Lia, we just got a call from inside; I thought you said there's no power.
There's one phone line active inside.
It's all that's active inside.
Set up two months ago.
No call lock.
Now I expected you sooner.
You took your time getting to Cerillo.
You killed him? He's a heavy sleeper.
Who are you? You don't remember me?I remember you.
Well, let me hear your real voice.
Maybe then I'll remember you.
Mm, maybe, maybe not.
You told the world it was all my fault.
Why? What did I do? You lied to me.
What did I lie to you about? Truth consequences,cause and effect I do this and Ow!That happens.
Ow, stop.
Stop! You don't need to hurt anybody else.
I'm here, I'm outside,I'm listening to you.
Good, then listen very closely.
This is what consequence sounds like.
He shot him.
Frank, it's yours.
What happened here? He set this up inside the front window.
Rifle with an electronic trigger system set to receive a cell phone signal.
What about the gunshots we heard over the phone? I had to have fired that simultaneously with the remote trigger.
It's a little on the premeditative side.
Start a track on the gun.
We still haven't figured out where he forwarded the call from.
Well, good luck with that.
It's got to be somewhere we can fire shots that aren't calling too much attention.
It's like Matt said,all right, he's premeditated.
He was going to kill the boy anyway.
There's nothing you could've done to have changed that.
The boy's alive.
How do you know that? Because if he were dead,this would be over.
He wants to see you squirm.
It's not over.
-Hey, we're gonna find this guy, all right? And I'm going to take his ass down.
Till then you do not let him see you sweat.
I don't have to, Frank.
I should let everybody see me sweat.
Special Agent Lehman will be out momentarily to make her statement, and then she will go back to work.
I will stay to answer any questions that I can.
What is Lehman's connection to Oliver Marsh? -No comment.
You sure you want to do this? I don't have a choice;I'm not going to sit back and wait for him to spring another trap.
Maybe he has already.
Maybe this is part of it.
He doesn't know that I'm going to do this.
Right, like he didn't know we were going to check up on past HTs on drop in on Rob Cerillo? Well, maybe there's another connection to Cerillo.
It's not in this fileor this file.
Maybe we can cross-check the other ones to it.
Are you sure you didn't lie to any of these guys? Matt.
I'm not saying that it's wrong to lie to HTs,I do it all the time.
I know that.
It can be risky.
Yeah, which is why I don't do it.
Before I partnered with you, I wouldn't even have entertained the idea.
I mean, I Check the logs yourself if you don't believe me.
I believe you -Well, then why are you coming at me like I'm guilty or something? Because in this guy's mind, you are, okay? This guy does his homework.
If he's got something to hide, he's gonna find it, and he's gonna use it against you.
Forget about the files, all right? Is there something you want to tell me? Something you did,somebody from your past, anything that could be used to hurt you? -No.
Show time.
My name is Emily Lehman.
I am a special agent with the Los Angeles Crisis Negotiation Unit, and my statement is for the person holding Oliver Marsh.
You have declined to identify yourself, but you claimed to know me, to have met me,and that when we met, I lied to you.
With great regret and even greater frustration, I cannot claim to know you or to remember you.
I'm not a perfect person.
Ask anyone who knows me They'll tell you I have my faults just like anyone else.
But I am willing to admit I was wrong.
Olive Marsh hasn'tlied to you.
He hasn't wronged you.
You have a grudge with me.
Don't take it out on him.
Agent Lehman,are you aware of the sex tape that's just been received by Channel Six? Excuse me, what? Who were you with last night? Who's the man on the tape with you? Is it in any way connected to the abduction? Did you make the tape yourself? Turn it off.
Date stamp is from last night.
Shut it off.
Date stamp's a fake that was two nights ago.
That son of a bitch was at my house, I'm going to put a bullet in his head.
What are you looking at? You want us to play it again for you? All right, where does this get sent out to? Same network as the photo.
No return address in the packages.
All are postmarked in the central branch and Union Station.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
He wants to humiliate me.
He wants to make this public.
Media, so that everybody sees.
We have to narrow this, okay? You know, it's an eye for an eye.
All right, Emily.
No, it's eye for an eye.
He must've been humiliated.
He somehow blames me,so we need to focus on incidents with the most media coverage, the most falloutYou should move this to my office, okay? That's a great idea.
Wait.
A call just came through the main board.
Says he's Oliver Marsh.
Signal is encrypted.
All right,run a voiceprint match off the DV tape at the pier.
If he's using the kid,he's trying to throw you off guard.
Don't let him.
It's Emily.
Hello, this is Oliver Marsh.
-Um Dad, dad, just like the merry-go-round in the movie! Hi, Oliver, are you okay? Yes.
Are you hurt? I scraped my knee,but it's dry now.
I am not hurt for now.
And you're not alone.
I liked you on TV you were good? He's being scripted.
What do you want? I want you to do your job.
I want you to find me.
-All right.
And I want you to come alone.
Name the time and the place.
That's no my job.
That's not.
You have 24 hours to find me, or else I'll be dropped off back at home, and we'll start over with another.
I want to go now.
Oh, my God.
He doesn't know what he's saying.
This is sick.
Look, you won, okay? You got me.
Take the boy off the phone.
You've shown everyone just how smart you are and how powerful you are and what a coward you are.
You want to kill me, don't you? No, I don't even know you, okay?! And I don't think you know me.
I think you're the liar.
I know you.
Keep going.
It's not scrambled.
No, no, you're just obsessed with me, and you're trying to get my attention.
I have your attention.
and I know everything about you.
There's nothing I don't know about you.
You were born April 10,5:30 in the morning, at Albany Memorial Hospital.
You were a lonely,with pigtails.
In middle school,you didn't have any friends so you had to make one up.
His names was Scott Barrett.
He was rich and he lived in a skyscraper in Manhattan.
You sent him letters, but you didn't put stamps on them.
You still think I'm a liar? You still want to call me a liar?! No.
Do you recognize this man? Do we? I ran it against all recorded negotiations no match.
Open that up.
-NCIC, TID.
Every voice database we have access to.
They're not going to find them, are they? This isn't an HT.
This is somebody you knew from before, back in New York? When you were growing up? I don't know who he is but I know who he talked to.
Carol Wolfe.
Welcome to San Joaquin.
We've cleared the visitation room for you.
Thank you.
If it's not private enough,we have a low-security room in the conjugal wing.
-That won't be necessary.
Hi, Allison.
You look older.
You know why I'm here? Sure.
Who's the guy? That's what I want you to tell me.
No, no, I meant the guy you walked in with.
It's my partner.
Mm? What's his name? You nailing him? AllieI-I know why you're here.
It's been seven years,and you wonder, "How's my big sister doing? Maybe I'll pay her a visit.
" She's had one visitor in the last four years--Marcus Krill, signed in three months ago,October 29, 1:35 p.
m.
He talked to her for an hour.
Marcus Krill? -You know him? No.
Do you have security video on visitors? Yes.
Unfortunately, the tapes get erased and reused every Three months.
Perfect.
-Well, we're up for budget reevaluation next year.
Write your congressman.
-Right.
Is that it? -Yes.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, hey, Allison Lehman,what's she in for? Distribution.
Serving ten.
Didn't your partner tell you? Yeah.
No, she did.
And what, you didn't believe her? He's cute.
What's that? -This is a deal from the U.
S.
Attorney's Office.
Guarantees you a reduced sentence if you help us out on this.
-Oh, man, that is great.
That is just great-- now you come to help.
Look, all you have to do is describe the man that visited you,and you'll be out in three months.
Do you remember the last time we saw each other? I do.
Yeah, I remember Really? Where was it? It was right here.
Actually,it was right over there,two booths down.
No, I'm just kidding.
I really I don't remember.
-Allison, do you know that an eight-year-old boy is going to die "I can't help you!" That's what you said! What I said? You wouldn't even talk to me.
I asked you to look into my case.
I did and you were guilty.
Well, what the hell does that have to do with anything? You are my sister,you are an FBI agent you could pull a few strings and bounce me out.
-I had just gotten into the FBI, okay? I couldn't pull strings then,and I can't pull them now.
Well, then what the hell is that, a lie? -No, it's not a lie.
We need your help to find the man that you talked to.
Look, if you don't help us out, we can charge you as an accessory for kidnapping.
Oh, yeah,try to make that stick.
You know, I was sharing a few childhood memories with a stranger.
Allison, cut the crap!a couple of months ago.
I don't really remember what he looked like orAllie I have one and five left on my sentence, and I think it's worth sticking it out to see you get taught a lesson.
Is that what he said he's gonna do? He's gonna teach me a lesson? Did he tell you he was gonna kill an innocent kid to do it? No.
But kids die all the time.
Oh, is something wrong, Emily? Go rot in your cage.
No, you're the one that's gonna rot,you little slut! I hope he kills that kid, and then I hope he kills you, too! Em Hey, Em.
All right, this is a dead end, okay? We shouldn't have come.
-No, we should've been here yesterday, like when I asked you point-blank whether you had anything that could be used against you--that would've been a good time to say, "I have a sisterin Federal prison.
"Yeah, I have a sister in Federal sister.
It's her crime, her business,and nobody else's.
There she is!Emily,can we get a statement? Are you visiting your sister Allison for any reason? How is she connected to the abduction of Oliver Marsh? Wait a minute, how did you know I was here? Take a guess.
Earlier today,Federal Agent Emily Lehman avoided answering our questions.
Hang in there, buddy.
Only got ten more hours.
We're not buddies.
Yeah? Then how come I got you this really cool coat and hat? I'm not cold.
But you're gonna be where we're going.
I have your attention, and I know everything about you.
There's nothing I don't know about you.
Still no match? Ran it through VICAP at Quantico--it's a nationwide search.
Nothing.
Nothing on Marcus Krill,either-- it's a fake I.
D.
At least we're narrowing down the suspects.
Yeah, to zero.
You know, the fact that there's no voice match tells us something.
Not every incident gets recorded, right? What, you mean the ones that are over before they start? Like instant surrenders.
Right.
Well, that doesn't exactly give them a chance to start a blood feud against me.
It gives you enough time to tell somebody a lie.
What is that supposed to mean? I don't know.
Ask Mr.
X.
He seems pretty convinced that's what happened.
And you believe him now? Should I start filtering out Instants we recorded through ARSIMS, print out a shorter list of suspects? -Yeah.
What did Cheryl say about the results from the VICAP? I don't know.
I e-mailed her.
She's in her office fielding calls about you.
For press? From DC.
Cheryl, this thing about my sister.
It's okay.
I told them.
You told them what? The upper-ups--they've been watching the local news coverage.
I told them that at the time of your recruitment you did not know that your sister was serving time.
-No.
In fact,you didn't know where she was.
Nobody did.
We, um hadn't heard from Allison in years, and we thought she was overseas.
Right.
Which your parents confirmed at the time of their background interview.
So, when did you find out your sister was inside? Well I had just graduated from the academy, and I had access to NCIC,so I did a background check, and, um I mean, I didn't expect to find her.
She, you know, she was always in trouble, and it was quite a shock.
I-I don't know.
I guess that's why I didn't report it.
Well, I told them that you reported it to me as soon as you transferred into this unit, and that I told you not to worry about it.
Cheryl, you didn't need to No.
I can take the heat.
It's okay.
You have enough to deal with.
Thank you.
Emily, you should know that this guy has done you permanent harm.
By drawing attention to your sister, there's a spot on your record now that can't be erased,and it's gonna follow you your whole career.
What does that mean? It means that there's a limit to how far you can go in the Bureau.
It means that that glass ceiling just got bulletproof.
That's all right.
All I care about is getting the kid back.
And that's why you're still on the case.
Thank you.
Ah.
The boyfriend.
What's the matter,Emily's upset so she sent you to beat me up? No, Emily doesn't know I'm here.
Oh, is that right? You just came back here all on your own and told them to set this up in the conjugal room I thought we should do this face to face.
We don't have to do it that way if you don't want to.
I'm gonna give you two chances to cooperate.
Take the deal for the reduced sentence, tell me about the guy that came to see you your sister doesn't have to know that you helped us out.
That was your first chance.
You think I'm nothing, don't you? You think I'm pathetic.
You had no idea who I was before I came here.
I-I don't care.
Emily does,which is why she probably wouldn't like what I'm gonna do.
All I have to do is scream.
Really? All I have to do is whisper.
What? You know, there's about 8,000 women here in San Joaquin.
Take a guess how many of them are mothers.
Turns out it's about 80%.
That's 6,400 inmates that are gonna find out that you just spit on a chance to save somebody's little boy.
Do you remember what they did to that woman up at Tehachapi? Well, I'm sure they'll take that into account that you only helped kill one.
But we'll find out.
Word travels pretty fast in a henhouse.
You should dump her, man.
She's crazier than me.
You just haven't seen it yet.
Okay.
See you, Allie.
He's a big guy, bald.
Totally bald, no hair.
Aryan Brotherhood? No.
How do you know? 'Cause of the way he talked--he was educated.
But he'd been inside.
-He told you that? He didn't say anything about himself.
I asked him,but he wouldn't say.
What Emily had done to him,none of that.
He didn't tell me he was taking any other kid.
So how do you know he's a convict? Tattoo, back of his head.
I saw it when he walked away.
Describe it.
Tobin Jensen? Yeah.
June of 2002.
You remember him? Yeah.
Yeah,I remember him.
Why am I just hearing about this? He wasn't one of the original 33.
We were only looking at violent offenders barricaders.
We weren't looking at high-risk suicides.
What did you do to him? What did I do?I saved his life.
Literally.
I talked him off the ledge.
He was about to throw himself off his own building.
His own building? Yeah, he's got a couple of them.
Big-shot real estate guy.
Multimillionaire philanthropist.
Family man.
Pederast.
One of the kids in his son's Little League team told his mom that Jensen had touched him.
The mom went to the cops,who showed up at his office.
Before you know it, he's on the roof threatening to jump.
I mean, I don'tWhere do you get Tobin Jensen? Well, first of all,the timeline matches up.
You talk him off the ledge four years ago.
He goes down for ten in San Quentin.
He serves three, and then he's released six months ago for good behavior, so he's got plenty of time to set this all up.
Motive is wrongful conviction.
No, no.
He admitted to everything in court.
I mean, he admitted it to me on the rooftop.
This guy was ashamed.
I don't think this is the guy.
Your sister said that the guy a visitor had a tattoo on the back of the neck.
Okay? Angel with one wing.
That's a prison tat.
It's given to you by your blockmates.
It singles you out as a short-eyes.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
Go back a second.
The child molester in your case file is Tobin Jensen.
-When did you talk to my sister? About an hour ago.
We got two hours till the deadline, okay? I haven't been able to locate him 'cause the ex-wife and the kids haven't seen him since the release.
They don't want to.
Okay, you shouldn't have talked to her.
Why is that? This isn't good.
This is This is a setup.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Yeah.
Same as Rob Cerillo.
Your talk-down with the guy was not recorded, all right? You worked there all by yourself.
It's in all the papers, Matt.
It shocked the entire community.
I can't believe you talked to her without talking to me.
Well, you can't talk to her.
You don't know anything about her! Whose fault is that? All right, both of you, stop it! This is worthless! She played you.
Freeze! Come on in.
You made it.
Help.
Look who's here, Oliver.
Hi, Emily.
Here we are all over again.
Glad you remembered the address.
Still think you made the right decision four years ago? Let's find out.
Oliver, are you okay? I think the gun's scaring him.
Why don't you lose it? Okay, it's down.
No, no, no, no.
Lose it.
Toss it over the side.
It's not going to do you any good.
You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to drop the magazine.
I'm going to clear the chamber.
There.
It's useless now.
-Good.
Now tell your partner to do the same thing.
I came here alone, Tobin,just like you asked.
Don't lie to me! Emily! So you followed me? Tobin Been at my house.
I don't think we've officially met.
Uncuff the boy or I'll shoot you directly between the eyes.
I came here to die, so the death threat's not too effective.
Matt.
Besides, if you shoot me, I fall.
If I fall,he goes with me.
Help.
Lose the gun.
Tobin, don't do this.
Why not? Oh,because, uh life is worth living.
Because I have the power to change and become a better person.
Yeah.
That's the truth.
I said tt.
You were going to jump.
I should have jumped.
I deserved to die.
You denied me that.
I saved your life.
I did my job.
Well, then,I guess this is all kind of an occupational hazard.
The price you payStop right there! Either one of you get any closer, we both go over.
Okay.
Okay, take it easy.
You know what they did to me when I was in prison, after they found out why I was there? They taught me that you don't have to die to go to hell.
Because of you,I was put on suicide watch, so I couldn't die even if I wanted to, but thanks for saving my life.
You know,you want to jump,nobody's going to stop you.
Trust me.
But don't take it out on Oliver.
He doesn't deserve it.
Yeah, but then how are you going to learn? Right, Emily? We have to fall down before we can pick ourselves up.
Remember that? I do! I don't know what you were selling that day, but I guess I was buying.
I wasn't selling, Tobin.
No, you were lying.
You told me suicide was a coward's way out.
That what kind of message would I be sending my own kids if I did that.
My own kids who,when I called them from prison, they said"Why didn't you just jump?" You know, you deserve what you got.
You know that,Tobin, right? You know, the only problem is you didn't suffer enough.
Death isn't good enough for what you did.
They don't have a punishment good enough for what you did.
That's why you didn't jump.
All you can hope is to suffer as much as those kids you wrecked for life.
You take away their trust so that they can't trust anybody, even with people that they loved.
You make it so that they have to be alone for the rest of their lives.
Just like me.
Yeah.
Grab him! Secure the roof.
Get a blanket up here for the kid.
We're going to get you home.
Yeah? You're safe now.
Your lawyer called.
Said you wanted to see me.
I heard you got the kid back.
Yeah.
So what about my deal? No.
You passed on that.
Remember? No.
I don't.
Ally.
You have one in five left in your sentence, and I thing it's worth you sticking it out.
So, um what did you say to that guy? I told him the story about you.
Oh, yeah? And what story was that? That you got all the luck in life,and I didn't? Yeah.
Thanks for waiting.
Oh, no sweat.
How did it go? That good, huh? So you got any more big secrets I should know about? Fresh out.
Good.
