01x07 - They Lied

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Eyewitness"...

Lukas saw everything.

[g*nf*re]

What?

I saw the g*n.

You don't believe me, do you?

False intel.

Turns out there is no g*n.

You need to apologize.

For lying about Lukas seeing the murders, for making up a g*n.

I need to be relocated.

I just can't live here anymore.

Helen and Gabe are taking Philip back.

He's gone.

Philip wasn't lying.

I was there, in the cabin.

I need to confirm that Mithat was responsible for those sh**t at the cabin.

Case is closed, Helen.

He's dead.

I want you to be the one to raise Jake.

Promise me.

Start from the beginning.

I want you to try and remember exactly what happened inside this cabin.

Okay.

I'm gonna tape you so you can just ramble.

Anything you can think of.

Even the smallest detail can trigger a memory.

There was this guy and he was sh**ting all these other guys.

Okay. What were you doing before they showed up?

What?

Can you tell me exactly what you were doing in here?

[whispers echoing] Have you done this before?

What happened there?

Nothing.

But you're remembering something.

No.

All I did was steal some gas like I said.

Okay. And then what happened?

I heard a car pull up.

It had a loud engine, like it was really souped up.

Then these guys got out and they took this other guy out of the trunk.

Before I could leave, they all ran in here, so I hid in there.

The man in the trunk... did he sh**t anyone?

Yeah, he sh*t everyone.

And you were inside here when it happened?

Yeah.

So you couldn't see much?

I guess not.

But you're sure the man in the trunk was the sh**t?

Mm-hmm.

Did you see him do anything else before he walked away?

No, I left before him.

How did you get away without him noticing?

I was nervous and I think I coughed.

I saw him looking under the bed and I just came out and hit him.

He didn't move, so I grabbed his g*n and I ran to my bike.

And you threw the g*n in the water like Philip said?

Yeah, can we go now?

One minute.

Can you describe the sh**t's face?

I don't... I don't know. Maybe.

Lukas.

Do you think he saw you?

I'm not sure. Why?

Did they talk to each other?

They were all kind of yelling.

What about?

I can't remember.

Did you notice anything about their voices, what they were saying?

Did they mention anything g*ng-related?

No.

They... they just seemed angry.

Okay, is there anything else you can remember?

Can you keep going?

No.

That's all I remember, okay?

Okay, okay.

Yeah, Helen sucks.

Hmm.

I guess. Maybe he does.

I'm not sure why they took me in, but I just...
