Lie To Me s02e20 Episode Script

Exposed

What do you call that, stupid on a plate? Hi.
Long night, Gillian? What are you doing here, Cal? I thought you hated this place.
No, it's the best breakfast in town, this one.
You don't even eat breakfast.
A man can change.
Hmm.
So you're not here to pry, then? What, me, pry? Yeah.
On you, in here? Never.
I'd have thought he'd be bringing you granola in bed by now.
Mmm, close enough.
How you doing, Dave? Lightman.
Why don't you grab that table? Yeah, 'cause you don't want to miss this.
I'll see you at the office.
Not if I see you first.
Dave: Enjoy your eggs.
Oh, I will.
Babe, I gotta take this.
It's one of the kids from juvie.
Hello? I can't hear you.
I'll take it outside.
Ok.
You've got to get out of here, you've got to disappear! Do you understand? Where is Captain America, then? He's working.
Oh, right.
Is there a secret that you're keeping for him? You just can't help yourself, can you? No, when it comes to you, I can't.
I work for the DEA.
Oh, bulls-eye.
In the juvenile facility, collecting information on a key drug corridor.
What you're picking up on are lies necessary for me to do my job.
Right.
Wow.
I'm sorry.
Cal: So you see that girl over there, right? Ben: Yeah, I see her.
She was telling Burns to leave town.
All last night, she sat outside Burns' house with a gun in her lap, while Foster was sleeping inside.
You think she's DEA? I don't know.
Maybe he's just fooling around on Foster.
He's a very naughty boy.
Hey! Get in.
Didn't expect to see you again, huh, Marco? Hey! Hey, hey! We need an airship in pursuit of a white and gray van.
Bravo, delta, 312 Henry.
Foster's going to kill me.
Look, I think we should try to leave our personal feelings behind on this one.
You mean me, my feelings.
You want me to handle this, or do you You have done enough already.
Look, if I hadn't have been on this, right, Burns would have just gone "poof!" And then nobody would have been any the wiser, so Dr.
Lightman, Dr.
Foster, this is Agent Williams of the DEA.
Good morning.
How do you do? Before we start, I want to thank you in advance on behalf of the drug enforcement agency for your expertise in this.
I believe Agent Reynolds has brought you up to speed on our progress since Agent Burns' abduction last night.
Any demands so far? Not as of yet, no.
He thinks some of the kids from juvie are involved.
Yeah, we got four from in the cube waiting for you.
No, you can crack those kids on your own dime.
I'm Far more interested in this.
Now that is a look I'd like to know more about.
Do you know who this woman is? That was taken last night.
She was with him last night? You didn't tell me that! I was going to tell you, I was going to tell you.
You see that look on Burns' face? All right, that's fear, that is.
You want to talk to me about it, or you I suppose I'll just have to ask her myself, then, won't I? I'd have to get clearance.
We scoff at words like that around here.
Don't we, Ben? No, we laugh our asses off.
What's her name, Agent Williams? I'll let her tell you that.
I'm not going to explain myself.
You don't have to.
Look, I get it, you're cross at me.
But I was doing the right thing, you know.
I was looking at Burns.
Well, behind your back.
Which, by the way, only makes it worse.
Dr.
Lightman, ship's leaving.
Whoopty-doo.
No more secrets, right? Prove it.
All right, you know my mom's birthday, right? All right, you know what I'm talking about then.
Ok.
Then do you know Apology accepted.
Great, thanks.
His mother's birthday.
He's probably going to change it now.
Lightman's been keeping a file on Burns.
Why? 3 guesses Foster, Foster and Foster.
That's fear in Burns' face.
No more secrets.
Agent Williams: You got 20 minutes.
What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this, eh? Who said anything about nice? How'd you know Burns? Dave and I worked undercover.
Up till 3 months ago.
You're partners? Ex-partners.
We lost touch when he was reassigned a few months back.
And the rest? Trying to find him.
Why? Because you think you might be responsible for what happened to him? Who the hell are you to ask that type of is that guilt, is it? Guilt? No.
Fear.
Well, I think you might be next.
All right, that's the small talk out of the way.
His name is little moon, the man who took him.
He's a boy, really.
Street name? About 3 months ago, drug wholesaler named big moon turned up in a dumpster.
Moon and son.
They keep it in the family, do they? Little moon was just a nothing when it happened.
Then he stepped up his game.
Got a gun.
Why were you talking to Burns a few days back? Trying to warn him.
You know, with some people, it's easier to tell when they stop lying than when they start.
I think you're one of them.
How can you tell when I stop lying? You shut your mouth.
I might know a guy who used to do business with big moon.
He was big moon's former boss.
He might know where his son's holding Burns.
Hey, Michelle.
How you doing, sweetheart? What's up? Who's your friend? I'm a scientist.
You know that guy I used to run with, Gianelli? He's a cop.
He is? Bullocks, you already knew that.
He reads faces.
They got a name for that where I come from.
Common sense.
Well, my common sense is telling me that you've already busted Burns as undercover.
Well, he's not the only one.
Really? Yeah.
I didn't know they gave coke whores badges nowadays.
You think I'm a cop? Well, you were the closest to him.
What's his name now? Gianelli? Burns.
Burns.
Little moon's been following you.
You met with the guy 3 times in the last week.
What's that about? I shouldn't be here.
Well, if you really wanted to leave, your hips would be under that door.
Question is, why aren't they? You outted my partner.
Well, that answers that.
You know, we all wondered how a pretty girl like you became tangled with a paper gangster like Marco Gianelli.
Hands where I can see them.
She meant that.
It's gotta be hard to keep things straight in your head after all the things you've done.
If you don't shut your mouth, she will shut it for you.
She's not going to shoot me.
You think so? No.
Hands where I can see them.
Hop up on my lap, sweetie, huh? I'll give you a little powder.
For old time's sake.
While you were watching his face, I was watching his hands! That's your tax dollars at work, mate.
He has a gun.
No, he doesn't.
Right, my common sense just saved your life, so you owe me.
I want to talk to half moon.
Or whatever it is that he's calling himself.
Yeah.
I got someone here who wants to speak to you.
You're gonna listen to him.
Do you understand? Hello? Cal Lightman here.
We know who you are, Dr.
Lightman.
Your boy here Burns told us all about you.
What did he tell you? Not nearly enough.
You know who I am, you know what I do.
So hire me and I'll help you.
Now why would I want to do that? It's not a request.
Looks like I don't exactly have a choice, now do I? Not if you want to find out who killed your dad.
Can I have your car keys? Thanks.
Get her out of here.
Huh? You're not arresting me? Burns was taken moments after you drove off, right? We haven't talked about that yet.
So put her in a cube with Torres.
We'll get fresh eyes on it.
So where you going? I'm gonna find Burns.
You want to tell me where that is? Sorry, mate.
If they get a whiff of you, they'll probably kill him.
Hey, Cal.
Did you break into my safe yet? It's quite a collection.
I'm gonna need the blue file.
Keep the copies.
I'm on my way.
Where are you going? Thanks a lot, I'll take it.
I'm coming with you.
Yeah.
Apparently so.
Get ready.
Does your mom know you're out joyriding? Get in.
Hop out.
Lose the hood.
I told you to come alone.
You hired the Lightman group, right? She's part of it.
Nice place you got here.
You're little moon, ain't ya? Nice to meet you.
Bloodied up.
Now, you see, your torture victim, he's going to say anything to make the pain go away.
I mean, let's get your mate up here on the hoist, you know.
Let's get him talking about shagging your mom, shall we? You said you'd help me find out who killed my father.
And if you don't Ok.
Well, I can't read him that.
Show me what you do.
Then she plays nurse.
Ok.
All right, um, a face, it tells the truth.
But you gotta look for a base line.
You know what I mean? All right, look at him.
Where are you? I don't know where.
No, I know you don't know where you are.
But make somewhere up.
Make up a place.
Use your imagination.
Look at me.
I'm teaching a federal agent how to lie.
Who'd have thunk it? I'm waking at Gillian's.
She's sleeping next to me.
He's using encoded emotion.
It's how most people lie.
There's a wind chime in her room.
Oh, you see that? You see the lip? That was disgust.
At the wind chime? At you.
Oh, yeah, well, or your dad, you know.
His father deserved my disgust.
He was a coke wholesaler.
Anybody could have killed him.
Well, that was a general truth.
When he said "anybody," he was being deliberately vague.
What are you doing, Cal? I'm doing my job.
Who killed my father? Well, let her fix him up, and we'll get to that, eh? Hey, hey, hey! Ahem.
You're ashamed about how your father died, right? He was found in a dumpster.
No.
Well, he was yeah, he was, he was chucked out, like garbage stop! All right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look, you're never going to restore your father's honor like this.
You want to talk about honor? You brought her here.
A woman.
Well, you didn't hurt her, did you? I mean, if you were, you'd have taken her when you took him.
So you've earned my trust.
Well, let me earn yours.
All right? Ow! Ok, let him down.
Ok.
You ok? He's young and experienced.
He's trying to fill his father's shoes.
Which makes him more dangerous.
Yeah.
What are they doing now? They're arguing, about whether to kill us or not.
What's the plan? Only stressed.
Little moon: What is he doing? You notice anything interesting about little moon over there? Respect, honor, defense of his mom's privates.
He's a principled sociopath.
Maybe.
He's ok with danger as long as it sticks to a set of rules.
You think we can use that? Get inside his head.
Shake it like a snow globe.
You're going to play them against one another.
Pat attention, Burnsy.
We're going to do a little song and dance act.
Get up.
Up! Move! Move.
So where do you think they may have taken Burns? Little moon's trying to follow his father's footsteps.
I'd say a drop spot.
Drop spot? Yeah, it's a place where dealers go to move product.
It usually has a view.
So their rivals can't rob them.
Big moon had a few that he used.
So you think he may have taken them there? He learned from the best.
Why are you so angry in this picture? I have already told you everything that I know.
You're averting your gaze, you can't even look at it.
Burns wouldn't leave town because he was dating your boss.
What's her name again? Maybe you were jealous and wanted to hurt him.
That's the kind of thinking that's going to get Burns and your bosses killed by teenagers.
See, that's the thing.
You're not upset by that.
You're full of guilt.
Cal: Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't kill this man's father.
No, me.
In the eye.
Not here, all right? I didn't kill anyone.
All right, I write everything down for shoplifting.
Why the fear? You did it.
You killed him.
No.
You're talking out of your ass.
I'm not seeing what you're seeing.
What's your game? You jealous? Now that's a deflection, that is.
Deflection? Yeah.
You can't stand me being around Gillian.
Look, mate, this is not about her! Your feelings for her are the only reason that you're here.
You want the truth? Be honest.
You killed him, right? You're going to get him killed! Admit it.
You want her.
Yes, I do.
In the worst possible way.
All right? Now it's your turn.
I've had to pretend to be a scumbag my entire career.
I've done a lot of things that I'm not proud of.
Murder's not one of them.
Wrong answer.
He's not picking up.
We were supposed to have lunch.
Well, the office is closed.
They went to a talk.
I'm not 10.
And I know when I'm being lied to.
I'll just wait in his office.
She didn't mean it, she's just worried.
Yeah, well, she's not the only one.
Yeah, do it! Throw him over! What makes you think he killed your dad, eh? You just said he did! And he disappeared once my pops wound up dead.
So, what, you're a detective now, are you? If he didn't do it, he's got nothing to be scared of, right? Well, apart from the obvious.
Throw him over! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Bring him back.
He's not hiding his own guilt.
He's protecting someone.
Who? I don't know.
Another undercover cop, maybe.
You saw that, right? What? Of course not.
That's why you need me.
Unless I'm under arrest, I would like to leave.
Ahh.
You know, I became an addict working undercover on the job.
This isn't about drugs.
No.
The point is, when you're real good at the job, you know, real dedicated You start to disappear.
Your values, your judgment, your character goes right out the window.
And before you know it, you've lost everything.
And everyone.
But there is one person you haven't lost.
Until now.
He's talking about Burns.
Being a woman in that world Phew.
Things work a certain way.
You don't have the power; the brute force.
You don't come at things straight on.
You seduce.
When it works.
And when it doesn't work It's the other way around.
So you and Burns were involved.
No.
Not Burns.
Me and the dead man.
Little moon: I want the name.
Did you hear him? Yeah, he wants names.
Names? There's more than one killer then, eh? Does it matter at this point? Well, it matters to them, yeah.
You know what happens if I give them names? He kills them and their families.
You don't trade their lives for the life of one man, not even if that man's you.
Bloody hell! You really are Captain America, aren't you? He knows, you know.
Who are they? I don't know.
DEA? How many? One? Two? All right, two it is.
Why would DEA kill my dad? That's a good question.
His father expanded too fast.
We couldn't reposition our guys.
Your dad was killing off the competition, right? He was so good at his job, right, that they were scared of him.
Who did the hit? He just told you 2 DEA agents.
Names! Why is that so important to you? I need to know if they came to his wake.
I need to know if they shook my grandmother's hand, stood in the mud when the coffin went down.
Russo.
That was her cover name.
Leave her out of it.
Oh, I struck a raw nee there, did I? She couldn't pull the trigger.
Oh, do me a favor.
I mean, I was with her a couple of hours ago, right, and she almost blew a man's head off over an 8-ball.
I mean, what's the difference between gas and big moon? Ask her.
Well, I would, right? But she's not here, so I'm asking you.
Eh? Did she get too close to you? Why couldn't she pull the trigger? She's pregnant.
Your point being? Oh.
Your dad knocked her up.
As charming as that is.
That's not true! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! So you had an affair while you were undercover, big deal.
It wasn't just an affair.
It jammed me up; Prevented me from doing my job.
All right, so this guy moon, he had a lot of game.
Charisma.
Fast talker.
Higher ups could see he was going to ruin the sting, so they ordered me to either flip him or kill him.
I was the only one who could get that close.
I couldn't bring myself to do it.
So since you couldn't do it, Burns stepped in, he did it for you.
After moon was whacked, Burns was forced to vanish.
Heard little moon was looking, but I never thought he'd find him.
He did.
And now you gotta help us find them.
I told you about all the drop spots.
No.
I've been talking to my FBI contacts.
Dead end.
You gotta come clean.
I'm done.
Listen, you're close with the guy, right? You spent enough time with him to get involved, and you knew how he did business.
You must have spent time with his son.
I didn't! I didn't even What? The only time I spent with him was during a beating.
Little moon was making his first deal.
A bunch of us hooded up and went to the spot where it was happening.
To beat the kid down? Big moon wanted his son to learn how easy it is to get your stash stolen.
The kind of spot someone might use to teach someone else a lesson.
Yeah.
We need to get him to a hospital.
Did you hear me?! Oy, moon? She's talking to you.
You broke his ribs when you kicked him.
He's having a tension pneunothorax.
What the hell does that mean? It means he can't talk.
He's faking it.
No, this is not something that you can fake! One side of his chest is rising and falling! You a doctor.
Fix it.
I'm not that kind of doctor.
Then he dies.
If he dies, then you'll never find out what happened to your father.
Hey.
You got a little trouble staying awake, son? No, man.
Can I have a word with you? In private.
So you are being lied to, right? You don't think I know that? No, no, I'm not just talking about her.
I'm talking about, you know Who's your mate on the right? Harris.
Yeah, him.
What you mean? You see when he yawns, it's like a nervous yawn.
It means he's hiding something.
What? I don't know.
I've known Harris since we was young, so back to your lady friend.
Well, she knows that he knows the name of the killer.
Right? But if he can't speak, then Then he can't give me the answer.
Trust no bitch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why you helping? 'Cause I fancy her.
Look, have your friend there drop her back at the car.
I'll find out who killed your dad.
Then you can do with Burns whatever you want.
All right? All right.
You'll make your dad proud.
All right.
Now watch this.
Pack your bags.
What? What? No, hey! We'll have a little man to man, me and you.
You still got all those bullocks, so you can't talk, right? Right? I need a knife.
Give me a knife.
Gillian: Cal, Cal! No, Cal! I'm going to need something like a hollow ball.
Like a pipe.
Yeah, a pipe, you know.
Give me that straw, that'll do it.
You're going to love this.
Hey, dad.
We were supposed to have lunch.
Just call me back, please.
It's funny how you're creeping on the cop's girl.
Doctors be getting a lot more women than cops, even getting lady doctors.
What kind of car you drive? Prius.
It's deceptively fast.
What you gonna do with that? Well, if what she says is true, he's got air trapped in his chest, we gotta get it out or he's gonna die.
Ok, so, now open his shirt.
Come on, open his shirt.
All right, pull.
Ok, you got a little bit of space between the second and the third rib.
You should start down at the bottom here.
That's it.
And you work your way up.
Right in there.
Keep your finger there.
Now what? Now what you're going to do is take the knife, like that, and you're going to pop the knife in.
You pop it right in, right where your fingers are.
Just there, all right? Ok? There you go, son.
Go on.
Do it, h.
You the doctor now.
Pop it in.
That's it.
Do it.
All right, ready? All right, one.
Go on.
Do it! That's it, pop it in.
Go on.
You can't do it, can you? Give me that, give me that.
Give me that.
Let's see.
Yeah, I thought as much.
Right there.
All right, all right! I'll talk.
You a pretty lady.
Get out.
Get out of the car! Open the door, move it! Down on the ground! Hey, Em.
You ok? Yeah.
Everything's totally normal.
I'm just reading my grandmother's diary that I found in my missing father's safe.
Oh.
"Declaration of tax amnesty.
" What's that about? You know, I don't know.
And then there's this.
"In conclusion, we find that based on "the genetic testing results "The probability of paternity is 99.
99%.
" It says that your dad's your dad, Em.
I mean, the test shows that conclusively.
Yeah, but why would he have checked in the first place? All right, so I understand why you want to protect Russo, right, 'cause she was your partner.
But for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why you wouldn't give up your name.
Till a few minutes ago.
One of the people that killed your father is in this room.
Him.
No, not him.
I wish it was him, you know how I feel about this man, all right.
He is all about rules.
And he's a federal agent.
As a federal agent, he is sworn to protect the identity of a confidential informant.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, really? You want to torture me again? Yeah, yeah, I do.
I'd love to, but I'll take a rain check on that, all right? I mean, you can't give it up.
But then I caught the look between these two.
Why are you looking at me? Well, I know I'm not a c.
I.
, right, and I'm damn sure he's not.
So Who's that leave, eh? You're a c.
I.
?! No! Sorry, h.
What's wrong with you, money? He lyin'.
You yawned.
It's this thing you do.
It means you're lying! You did hear him, right? You heard him say "I killed a man.
" Well, he's talking about your father.
No! I never killed no man! You kill my father? No! He see your temper and he playing you! Then put your gun down.
No.
You'll shoot me! Put it down! I loved your father.
Loved him.
Look at me, fool! Look! I believe you.
You should have never pointed your gun at me.
FBI! Get down! Drop the weapon! Drop it! He made it, eh? You know him? I'm the reason he got shot.
Well, he's lucky.
Bullet missed his artery.
Kid could have died.
He's an adult, though.
I mean, in the eyes of the court.
I'm right, right? How you doing? You all right? Can I have a minute, love? So You killed a man, right? Moon's father.
'Cause your partner couldn't.
That's it, right? I did what I had to do to protect the agents that work for me.
You get that, right? Nice work in there, by the way.
You're one of the best liars that I've seen in a long time.
Back at ya.
So you're not just in Gillian's life for a bit of the old, you know.
Sex? You can't say the other word, can you? Love.
Dave.
You've got one minute.
They're not going to give me my old life back.
My cover's been blown.
All right.
You're walking? Are you crazy? Hey.
Up and walking oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I checked myself out.
I can't blame you, really.
These places will kill you.
Dave.
I'll meet you back at your apartment.
Ok? I'll see you there.
He doesn't want me to follow him.
No.
They're going to move him.
Change his name.
I liked the one he had.
All right, now this is just getting ridiculous, Danielle.
Come on, it's like art for your stomach.
It's like hotel art.
You leave the tip.
You know, you could have died yesterday.
Possibly.
So you admit you're an idiot.
No, because If I was an idiot, right, I would get into far more mundane trouble, or, you know, forgetting a lunch date with your daughter.
It's a good thing you never do that.
Absolutely, I've grown up.
Don't tell me you read your granny's diary.
You read your granny's diary.
And, oh, look at this.
I am 99.
99% yours.
You know, you might want to take this test again.
There's still a .
01% chance that people in the lab were lying.
What, so I might get lucky, you mean? Yeah.
Right.
Me and your mom, all right, we gate crashed this awful Party at Harvard.
I look across the room, and there's your mom.
She's being chatted up by some astronomer.
She's laughing her ass off.
All these jokes, and stuff.
And she's flirting with him, you know, as she does.
And I caught just the tiniest flash of something.
Something? Yeah, something.
It was probably just the earliest bits of you just floating around in there somewhere, you know, 'cause it was around that time.
But I don't know what it was.
But A scientist's job is to verify, right? You never trust anyone, do you? You know, that's why you'll always be alone.
I'm not alone.
