"Name's Henry Dahl." "Convicted nine years ago in the rape and murder of one Jennie Winter." "Was a lifer at Del Norte until a new D.N.A. test set him free." "How'd you peg him as an inmate?" "Give me a break." "A classic rooster build-- massive upper body, skinny legs." "Jaundiced skin, probably hepatitis "C"" "from the dirty needle tattoo on his elbow." "Spiderweb representing the passage of time." "Wh-where are you going?" "I'm tired, and I don't really care who killed this creep." "He was innocent." "Meh."

"Right now I'm with you, unless, uh, of course, are you with homicide?" "Did you know it cost taxpayers $2.4 million to convict Henry Dahl in the murder of Jennie Winter?" "No kidding." "That's a lot of money." "Now they'll have to spend millions more finding and convicting Dahl's killer because the state set a hardened criminal free."

"The Attorney General has enough to worry about with the murder of a wrongly imprisoned man." "I need Jane awake on this." "To be honest, I'm more concerned about her behavior than I am about his." "The police never released" "Dahl's identity to the press." "So what's a famous cable TV host doing in front of the motel?" "Karen Cross' production company footed the bill for Henry Dahl's motel room." "Dahl had driven in from Lodi to appear as a guest on her talk show today." "Explains how she knew he was there." "Wait." "Their connection runs deeper than that." "Before Cross joined Trial TV, she was a State Prosecutor with 102 violent felony convictions, no losses." "Guess who one of those convictions was?" "Hello, Dahl-y." "Don't do that." "Why would Dahl appear on the national talk show of the lawyer who put him away?" "Notoriety." "Payback." "Women."

"It was all smoke and mirrors." "You whipped the jury into a frenzy to cover for a lack of physical evidence." "Two witnesses put Dahl at the scene." "That doesn't make him a killer."

"But am I to understand you actually forgave Dahl before this so-called new D.N.A. evidence came to light?" "It's called reconciliation, Karen." "Meh." "Reconciliation?" "Yeah, reconciliation." "In my case-- oh, I'm familiar with what reconciliation means." "Reconciliation is basically when family members of victims--they waltz over to the prison, they decide they're gonna forgive this person who murdered their wife or children." "I just don't buy it, Max." "(Man) He was only here for two nights." "I hardly saw him." "When I did, he was just so happy to be free." "Who wouldn't be?" "(Cho) Did Mr. Dahl have any visitors?"

"I-I-I'm--I'm looking for your dad." "Who are you?" "You--you a cop or something?" "No." "Too many laws to uphold." "But I-I do work with the police." "Don't touch that, please." "It's--it's not cured yet." "It feels okay to me." "It needs two more hours." "Can--can you go now?" "Uh, look, my--my dad's not at the house." "I don't know where he is." "Sure, you do." "You just don't want me to know." "Is he hiding something?" "No, he's not hiding anything." "Are you?" "No." "Of course not." "Your dad doesn't seem like the kind of man who would ask you to lie." "Artie Mock." ""Multiple arrests for assault, battery, battery with injury..""" "And today, aggravated assault against a police officer." "I'm sorry." "Did I hurt you?" "It was just a mattress." "Now what's your relationship with Henry Dahl?" "Friends." "We met in junior college." "We were art majors." "Why'd you break into his room?" "I was looking for my money." "He owes me 22 large, plus nine years' interest." "Where were you last night?" "Last night?" "I was working graveyard at the plant." "And, no, I didn't kill him." "I mean, now I ain't ever gonna see what's mine." "What did Dahl owe you for?" "Statute of limitations on drug dealing is what, six years?" "Six years." "In that case, Henry and I ran a small business in college." "(Chuckles)" "We--we weren't very good at art, so we started distributing cocaine." "That's a natural transition." "That's what we said." "No, H-Henry was storing a shipment, and--and he gets popped for murder." "2 kilos." "I visited him in prison, and he tells me that the--the stash gets confiscated, so I let it go." "But then the day that Henry gets out of prison, he starts flossing about taking his girlfriend to Jamaica, so I'm thinking he's still got those drugs hidden." "His girl?" "Mm-hmm." "Henry'd been out for two days." "When did he find a girlfriend?" "She found him, in prison." "They were pen pals." "According to Del Norte," "Henry Dahl had just one name on his approved e-mail list-- a woman named Betsy Meyers from Lodi, his hometown." "Lodi--yeah, I was just there today." "Long drive." "Hot." "She and Dahl had a thing going in high school." "She reached out to him two months ago, rekindled their romance." "But there's just one problem." "Betsy's married?" "Yes, to a Sean Meyers." "He's a factory worker." "They've been together for seven years." "Somebody should question him." "Agreed." "Someone who hasn't been to Lodi yet." "I want to see how willingly they come to us." "Let's call them in in the morning." "In the meantime, there's no shortage of suspects who hated Henry Dahl." "23 people threatened his life during his murder trial, most of which were friends or family of the alleged victim." "Here's a list of those names, courtesy of our cable television friend, Miss Cross." "We got a lot of eyes on us on this one." "I want you to stay late and run down these names." "Bravo." "(Whirring)" "Oh." "I had a feeling I'd see you again." "Takes a confident man to visit a shooting range when he's still a murder suspect." "Or an innocent one." "I never got your name." "I'm sorry?" "Never got your name." "Uh, Patrick Jane." "What kind of gun do you use, Patrick?" "Oh, no." "I don't--I don't use." "No?" "That's, uh, a little strange for a policeman, isn't it?" "Me, I-I like a well-balanced .45-- best combination of power, accuracy, and kick." "Whoa." "Hey, hey." "Careful." "Whoa." "Whoa, watch the muzzle sweep." "(Man) You never point at anything you don't want to shoot." "(Paper rustles)" "(Jane clears throat)" "(Whirring)" "(Sighs) So..." "How can I help you, Patrick?" "Well, um, I'm just curious to hear how you did it." "How I did what?" "Forgave your wife's killer." "Ah." "So you believe me now." "Well, I wouldn't get carried away, but I-I did find out that you've become quite the, uh, evangelist for reconciliation, corporate talks and all." "(Paper rustles)" "You know why I came here in the first place?" "I manage real estate funds." "I never touched a weapon in my life." "But then Jennie was butchered, and I needed a release." "At first, I pretended the targets were Henry Dahl, and now, they're just targets." "It's a discipline." "Very Zen." "You found the gift of forgiveness through firearms." "Yeah, shooting helped me cope." "My son led me to forgiveness." "All this rage inside me, that lust for vengeance" "I could see I was scaring Jackson." "I didn't want to lose him, too." "Lo and behold, Henry Dahl was exonerated, like a sign from above." "Yes." "Exactly." "I just wish I had forgiven him sooner." "Do you have children, Patrick?" "No." "Try it." "No better pain relief." "I'm not in pain." "No?" "I sense pain." "Ah, it's nothing a gun will fix." "By the way, I don't own a gun." "I just rent them while I'm here." "And I was with my son, at home, at the time of the murder." "Just, uh..." "In case you're interested." "It's gonna get loud." "Yeah." "Oh." "I'll just step back here." "Henry had a beautiful spirit." "That whole bad boy thing-- that was always just an act." "He even wanted to try acting when he got out of prison." "How did you know that?" "He told me..." "In his e-mails." "Did you know that your wife was exchanging e-mails with a convicted felon?" "Yeah, I was taking dictation for her." "What do you think?" "No." "Betsy, according to the prison, you'd been writing Henry for two months." "Why'd you reach out to him?" "Yeah, why did you?" "You've had a first love, right?" "You know that feeling?" "It never really goes away, not totally." "I never thought that Henry killed anyone, and when I read that there was new D.N.A. evidence," "I just wanted to say "woot, woot," you know, as a friend." "Does this sound like friends?" ""Dear Henry, wild thoughts in my head." ""I know I shouldn't wonder what your body feels like now, but it's all I"-- okay, stop." "All right?" "Why are you doing this to me?" "My husband is sitting right here." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "She is so full of it." "What?" "She wrote some stuff to a guy." "There's worse crimes." "(Lisbon) Betsy, tell me the truth." "You heard." "She's in love with him." "No, that's not true." "I really just started writing him as a friend." "We were arguing so much." "And he knew me so well." "He started saying all the things to me that you stopped saying years ago." "(Sniffles) Did you have any contact with him after he was released?" "No." "Only in e-mails." "Betsy, we showed a photo of you to the manager of the halfway house Henry was living in." "He identified you as the woman who visited Henry the day after his release." "You slept with him?" "Oh, hush." "I didn't say anything." "What is this, marriage counsel?" "(Rigsby) They're suspects in the shooting." "These two?" "Really?" "Hmm." "Um..." "Can I see your gun?" "Hmm?" "Where were the 2 of you at 1:00 A.M.?" "Drinking beers at the Lamplighter." "(Door opens)" "Hi." "Patrick Jane." "Very nice to meet you." "Hold that, please." "(Door closes)" "(Lisbon) Whoa." "Okay." "What?" "Sorry." "Here." "(Lisbon) What the hell are you doing?" "!" "It's okay." "Rigsby took the bullets out." "Muzzle sweeps." "They have no idea how to handle a gun." "Give me a break." "Van Pelt, run down Betsy and Sean's alibis." "You, outside!" "Excuse me." "Now." "So you're a gun expert now?" "No, not me." "Max Winter." "You should see him shoot." "Did he shoot Dahl?" "What caliber was the murder weapon?" "9 millimeter." "Yeah, Max prefers a .45." "Oh, shucks." "I guess he's innocent." "Here's a revised suspect list." "Max is still on it." "And I hope you got some sleep last night, because we're going to Lodi to run interviews" "I just got back from Lodi." "Van leaves in 20 minutes." "Be outside." "(Telephone rings in distance)" "(Karen) Patrick Jane." "I didn't recognize you yesterday at the crime scene." "You were quite the psychic once." "Oh, there's no such thing as psychics." "So you say now." "Your cold reading of a serial killer on live television led to the brutal murder of your wife and daughter." "Oh." "Really?" "Thanks for reminding me." "Mr. Jane, I am on your side." "You were a victim of violent crime, and now you help others." "That's wonderful." "Don't tell me you don't have the psychic stuff." "What are you doing for the CBI if you're not psychic?" "Are you scamming them, Mr. Jane?" "No, Karen, I am not." "Well, prove it." "Identify Dahl's killer." "Well, if I had carte blanche to do things my way," "I would do just that, but they don't give me carte blanche." "The CBI won't, but I will." "Deputy?" "You've been served." "You are hereby commanded to testify before a studio audience of your peers." "What do you need to solve this crime?" "Name it." "Well, I suppose, uh..." "I need the help of those that are affected by Dahl's murder." "Those two you had on your show yesterday would do." "I'll bring them back." "And, uh," "I guess, uh, I need suspects." "Yeah." "Make sure these people are in the audience." "Give 'em an appearance fee, whatever it takes." "Beats driving back to Lodi." "You saw him here first-- the sleeping CBI Agent." "Well, get ready to meet him." "Patrick Jane--psychic Detective?" "Tragic victim?" "You be the judge today at 3:00, when Mr. Jane taps his mind's eye to reveal who killed Henry Dahl." "(Speaks indistinctly)" "Well, where is he?" "We're five minutes to air." "Without him, it's just a rehash of yesterday's show." "I've left messages everywhere." "Oh." "Oh." "Sorry I'm late." "I had to stop by a Bed and Bath Boutique." "Mr. Jane, there is a reason that I asked you to arrive two hours early." "I need to walk you through the lineup." "Are all my suspects here?" "Yeah, they're in the first two rows." "Stellar." "Now the lineup--I'll start with my state of the union, and then we're just gonna roll a clip to introduce you." "A clip?" "Uh, y--well, just some old footage." "My Red John talk show appearance." "Oh, no, just save--save your reaction for on-air." "I really want you to relive the moment" "Excuse me, Karen." "I gotta hand out candles." "Candles?" "Wait." "What--what candles?" "Hey, folks." "I hope Lodi is treating you well." "A little treat from Karen Cross." "Hand them out." "One each." "Here you go." "Pass that back to him, please." "Thank you." "Ah, Jackson." "(Bag rustles)" "Here to see the old man again, are you?" "Here." "A candle." "We need you onstage now." "Oh, I have to hand these out." "They're for my act." "Unless, uh, what are you doing?" "Everybody must have one." "Okay?" "I need these." "Thank you." "(Clears throat)" "Max." "(Cheers and applause)" "♪" "(cheering stops)" "You've probably read stories about psychics who help the police solve murder cases." "Well, today, we're gonna take a peek behind the mystic's veil to see how that's done." "To introduce our featured guest, we have a dramatic video clip of his last talk show." "Uh, Karen, sorry to interrupt." "Uh, Mr. Jane, I'll get to you in a minute." "Could you please sit down?" "You--you--you wanted to tell me something about the lineup." "I forget." "The lineup-- did you tell me?" "The lineup, I forget." "Forget the lineup." "What is the lineup?" "Uh..." "I'm" "Let me remind you." "Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to unmask the shooter." "(Audience murmurs)" "What you have all just witnessed is a remarkable piece of mental tomfoolery from our psychic guest star, Patrick Jane." "However, this is not Mr. Jane's show, so I'm gonna ask Mr. Jane again to please sit down." "I'm sorry." "I forget." "Whose show is it?" "Whose show?" "I forget." "I forget whose show." "Forget whose" "Wwill you stop doing that?" "You are a guest here." "Well, actually, no." "I was, uh, summoned." "Are you sure this is how you want to play it?" "You really wanna make yourself a sorrier spectacle?" "Oh, is there anyone more sorry than you, Karen, with your morbid interest in all things shocking or repulsive?" "You pretend to be a victim's advocate, but you're a vulture, preying on the carrion of human suffering." "Are you gonna give me that carte blanche you promised me or not?" "Yeah, buddy, go." "Yeah." "(Cheering)" "You gonna give me that carte blanche?" "Hmm?" "I feel like getting me some carte blanche." "Okay, Mr. Jane, let the psychic wonders unfurl." "There's no such thing as psychics, Karen, only entertainers skilled in the art of deception." "But I'm happy to, uh, perform a psychic "demonstration."" "Usually begins with a fantastic claim such as Henry Dahl's killer is sitting in this room right now." "(Audience murmurs)" "And then, uh, any good psychic would make sure that the front row is full of actual police suspects, which I believe that we have done for you today." "Then he might go on and explain how, uh, a-a spirit that has crossed over still has the power to manipulate energy in our world-- creating noises, moving objects, and sometimes even starting fires-- and that is what Henry Dahl is gonna do for us right now." "Henry Dahl will light a candle to reveal his shooter." "(Audience murmurs)" "Dim the lights, please." "Oh, I can't wait for this." "That's the spirit." "That's your candle." "Oh." "There is one other thing." "A truly world-class psychic would invite police officials up on the stage to make an arrest once the killer has been unmasked." "And today, we are very fortunate to have some, uh, conveniently telegenic CBI officers-- uh, Agent Wayne Rigsby, and the pocket rocket, the dynamite, heavily armed, cute as a button Agent Teresa Lisbon." "(Mouths word)" "Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause." "(Cheering)" "Ladies and gentlemen, please, raise your candles high above your heads while we wait for Henry Dahl to reveal his shooter." "Speak to us, Henry." "Speak to us from beyond the great beyond." "This is ridiculous-- ah." "(Audience murmuring)" "Wait." "Jackson Winter, of course." "Uh, you think it was me?" "Henry Dahl was convicted of killing your mother, but you didn't buy the D.N.A. test that set him free, did you?" "What are you doing?" "Of course he didn't believe the D.N.A." "I presented an ironclad case." "And the owner of a certain firing range I visited tells me that Jackson, in fact, does like to shoot guns." "Prefers a 9 millimeter, same caliber as the murder weapon." "Look... (Blows) I didn't shoot anyone, okay?" "Dad" "What's more, forensics matched red fibers from the murder scene with carpet fibers from the firing range." "Stop it." "You stop this." "(Lowered voice) My son didn't do anything." "Casting blame on him like this--it'll ruin his life." "I know." "Then don't do it." "Don't let me." "All right." "You leave him alone." "(Normal voice) It was me." "I shot Henry Dahl." "(Audience murmurs)" "Or he is just lying to protect his son." "Agents, arrest him." "I'm not lying." "He's not lying." "His son told me." "What are you talking about?" "No, I didn't." "Epoxy takes 12 hours to cure." "Yesterday you told me that that model only needed two more hours." "That puts you working in the garage in the middle of the night." "Your son wasn't asleep." "He heard you leaving." "That's why he wanted to protect you, right?" "All right, let him be." "(Voice breaking) I pulled the trigger, and I can prove it." "(Man) You'll find his prints on the gun." "Ballistics will match the casings." "How did you obtain it?" "Gun trafficker eight years ago." "You purchased an illegal weapon eight years ago." "Why?" "Dahl was a lifer in a state pen." "You had no way of knowing he'd get out." "Oh, you wanna stop talking now?" "That's fine." "All bets are off." "We're gonna take you and your son into custody." "No, j-just..." "Just wait." "I knew Henry was gonna get out because I'm the one who set him free." "How'd you know?" "Well, he's a man of infinite patience and suppressed rage." "His wife's killer had to die by his own hand." "He had no choice." "(Cho) Okay, you're gonna have to help me out a little bit." "How did you set Dahl free?" "I'm a fund manager at a real estate investment firm." "I used one fund to buy up old warehouses-- safe investment, convert 'em into condos-- and that's how my firm came to own a certain Bay area warehouse used for evidence storage." "Including D.N.A. it took since months to pull the condo permits." "I used that time to gain access to the property and I swapped out Dahl's D.N.A. sample." "Dahl passes retest." "You kill Dahl." "You should sell the book rights." "Hold on." "My client never said he killed Henry Dahl." "Your client confessed on basic cable." "To shooting Dahl." "Hello." "I shot that piece of filth." "I shot him right in the face." "But I didn't kill Henry Dahl." "He was already dead." "That's a development." "How do you know Dahl was dead?" "Back of his head was busted open." "He was lying in a pool of blood." "Maybe he was still breathing." "No." "I checked for a pulse." "I don't buy it." "If you knew Dahl was dead, why'd you shoot him nine times?" "Because he murdered my wife." "Uh-oh." "What?" "He's telling the truth." "With no head left to speak of, the coroner can't make a definitely call, but he did say there was less blood loss than expected, which supports postmortem gunshots." "Oh, in that case..." "Let's go pick out the actual killer, shall we?" "It's kind of obvious now, isn't it?" "I mean, shooting is a crime of planning." "That's Max." "He built an entire fleet of planes with his hands." "But a blow to the head?" "Crime of passion." "A lot of emotions were flying around that interrogation room yesterday." "The jilted husband, Sean Meyers--I felt his pain." "Meyers said he didn't know his wife was having an affair with the victim." "Maybe he was lying." "What about his alibi?" "He alibi'ed out for the 1:00 A.M. shooting, but a blow to the head would have occurred earlier." "It's like watching a symphony orchestra come together." "(Birds chirping)" "Dead River bridge." "Sean Meyers' cell phone server got a fix on his signal somewhere around here." "Why would he come out here?" "Van Pelt talked to the apartment manager." "He heard a couple fighting." "Betsy got in her car." "Sean took off after her." "She could be his next victim." "Well, that's one theory." "(Betsy) Get back!" "(Sean) Betsy!" "Stay away from me!" "Okay." "(Police radio chatter)" "We're with the CBI." "What's going on here?" "Oh, they were up there when we arrived." "We don't know what's going on yet, but it looks like an attempted assault." "He's gonna reach her soon." "We may have to shoot to stop him." "Get back!" "Stay away from me!" "(Pants)" "Betsy!" "If you shoot him, you'll have two victims." "She just went up there to see about jumping." "He's trying to save her." "Can I use that?" "Sure." "Thank you." "(Loud beep)" "Sorry." "(Voice amplified) Uh, Betsy?" "If you're gonna jump, make sure to dive, headfirst." "Hey." "Jane." "From that height, you'll just shatter bones and suffer massive internal injuries." "Make sure you dive, headfirst." "(Groaning)" "I just want this all to end now!" "I know." "What do I have to live for?" "Um, nothing." "Your husband killed Henry Dahl." "He's going to prison." "You killed Henry?" "He was gonna hurt you." "You did that for me, baby?" "(Pants) No." "Oh!" "Ohh. (Sniffles)" "Ah, ain't love grand?" "Thank you." "Yeah, she was never gonna jump anyway." "She just wanted the attention." "I found the e-mails on her laptop two weeks ago." "My entire world fell apart." "(Betsy sniffles)" "I couldn't lose Betsy." "I just couldn't." "When Henry got out of prison," "I went to the motel, but I went to talk with him." "(Henry) I'm a free man now." "Means free to love, too." "She's married." "I'll share her with you." "I don't mind." "You learn to share..." "In lockdown." "Where are my damn cigarettes?" "I'll pay you." "I'll give you money to stay away from Betsy." "How much?" "I have $3,200 saved." "(Laughs) (Claps hands)" "I've got millions coming my way once the state reimburses me for all that time in jail." "Sorry." "I plan on having a little fun with your wife." "Maybe I'll..." "Slash her throat..." "Like I did the last one." "Damn, where are those cigarettes?" "(Grunts)" "I just wanted to protect her." "This is all my fault." "I'm so sorry." "All right, time to go." "I'll write you every day." "I suppose, from your perspective, it's a shame that neither man will serve any real time." "Oh, will they not?" "Well, who knows who really killed Henry Dahl?" "Well, prosecution will say Sean Meyers." " He struck him in the head." " Ah, but did he kill him?" "Max may well have lied to protect himself." "Maybe Dahl was still alive." "Max's attorneys point the finger at Sean, and Sean's attorneys point at Max, and in the end, they both walk." "Yep, that could happen." "Ah, maybe we could save everyone a lot of time and money and let 'em both walk now." "After all, the killer did get what he deserved." "That's common sense." "(Elevator bell dings)" "But, uh, common sense carries very little weight in the D.A.'s office." "Pity." "What you doing there, Rigsby?" "Nothing." "He's trying to light the candle with the power of his mind." "No, I wasn't." "Is that one of those candles Jane used on the talk show?" " Look, I know how he did that." " Oh, yeah?" "A Candlewick dipped in liquid phosphorous will spontaneously burst into flame when it dries." "The oxygen hits the phosphorous." "Jane must've dipped the kid's candle in the stuff before he gave it to him." "Now the real trick, though, is in the timing, which Jane nailed." "Hey." "Where are we going for lunch today?" " Napa." " Nice." "Bye, guys." "(Elevator bell dings)" "Uh, excuse me, Patrick." "I was looking for you." "It seems they're gonna drop the attempted murder charge." "The, uh, evidence tampering is another matter, but my attorney's gonna work out a deal for probation." "Well, that's-- that's very good for Jackson." "Yeah." "I'm told that somebody high up in your office was very influential with the D.A." "Mm." "Wasn't me." "Good to see you." "Yeah." "But I brought you a gift anyway." "Oh, listen, thank you, but I-I can't-- please?" "Please." "Okay." "Should I open it now?" "No." "Was it worth it?" "Was what worth it?" "The man that killed your wife no longer exists." "The time you took pursuing him, the pain, the sacrifice-- was it worth it?" "Yes, it was." "Thank you." "== sync, corrected by elderman =="
