01x20 - Make Me

[bunniefuu]

Longest ball wins.

So, don't slice it again.

Mulligan, Troy. You distracted me.

Dad, maybe you need a new club.

- (chuckles)
- Or you should try

- a different sport.
- Keep talking.

You're almost up.

There's a putt-putt down the street.

And that's how it's done.

That is gonna be tough to b*at.

This is fun. Thanks for coming.

- Feels like old times, you know?
- Mm.

You used to love coming
here when you were nine.

Yeah, I remember.

I'm really glad we did this again.

Yeah. All right, one more for me.

Then you're up, hotshot.

See if you can hit the river, Dad.

All right.

- Nice swing.
- Thanks.

ANNOUNCER: Order , Philly cheesesteak,

fries, medium soda.

- Order , pick up, please.
- (phone buzzing)

CLINT: Troy?

Oh, my God! He's k*lling him!

MAN: Somebody stop him!

Call !

Need some help!

Need a doctor! Anyone!

♪ All right... ♪

(horn honks)

(Bull chuckles)

What's this?

What's it look like?

- A midlife crisis.
- (chuckles)

I didn't question you
when you got a Bentley.

Well, that's because my midlife
crisis came with air bags.

Ah.

I'm surprised you agreed to
do a psych eval on a patient.

Well, she said that I
wouldn't want to pass it up

and she knows me.

Uh-huh. She?

Yeah, Dr. Levin.

She handles the interesting patients.

A man who mistook his wife
for a hat, that sort of thing.

Hey, Bull,

I know why you asked me
to meet you here today.

Oh, good. That saves time.

I'm glad.

I want you to know
that I heard what you said

about my behavior
during the class action suit

and you're right.

I was off my game.

But I'm back. And better.

I'm just ready to jump
right back on that horse.

Huh.

Then why'd you buy a bike?

Oh, Amy?

Jason. And you must be Benny.

Amy's the head of forensic psychiatry.

Ah, tough job.

Given our country's
current mental state,

I will never be out of work.

How's the private sector treating you?

I drive a Bentley.

I hope you're still
finding time to bake.

- Bull bakes?
- He doesn't know about

“Better than Robert Redford”?

Uh, I do not.

It's this amazing dessert
that Jason used to

bring in on Fridays.

Kind of half pie, half pudding.

You know, my birthday's
coming up next month.

I'm not baking you a cake.

So, tell us about this patient of yours.

Troy Dickerson is years old.

Graduated from NYU...

good grades, popular, athletic.

And then, a few months ago,

he enrolled in the Lumansic Academy.

Lumansic? I've heard of it.

It's a cult.

It's an alternative learning center.

Yes. Which means it's a cult.

How did Troy end up here?

He was charged with murdering his father

three nights ago.

At his arraignment,
Troy plead not guilty.

The judge ordered a
competency evaluation.

Assessment?

I think he thinks
he's telling the truth.

There's just one problem.

So, that's Troy.

AMY: And that's his
father, Clint, at the tee.

BULL: His demeanor shifted.

AMY: I noticed it, too.

He's dissociating.

Oh, God.

He att*cked him out of nowhere.

The head injuries
Clint sustained were fatal.

I'm assuming Troy doesn't have
any memory of the incident.

No, he doesn't.

He's mentally blocked it.

It may be

psychologically damaging
for him to remember.

We've done lie detector,
FMRI and several sessions.

BENNY: Look, whether
he claims to remember or not,

it's obvious that he k*lled his father.

BULL: What's not obvious is why.

- (page turns)
- No history of v*olence.

(page turns)

Has Troy seen the video?

No.

Anyone got a quarter?

BULL: Fun fact...

There are no U.S. quarters dated .

Okay.

Maybe I oversold the “fun” part.

But I'll bet you $
you can't tell me the date

on this quarter.

How is this supposed to help me?

Why are you here, Troy?

They...

say I k*lled my father.

Did you?

No.

I would never do that.

I loved my dad.

BENNY: So, you and Bull
used to work together.

Something like that.

BULL: Just tell me the
date on the quarter.

I can't when it's spinning like that.

BULL: Try. Look closer.

It's an eye fixation induction.

A way to test a person's
ability to transition

- into an altered mental state
of relaxation. - Hmm.

BULL: Just keep looking at it.

In fact,

look right through it.

The longer you look at it,

the more you can't look away.

- That's it.
- (quarter rattling)

Keep focusing on the quarter.

Tell me about your father.

(quarter stops spinning)

They say I k*lled him.

But I don't remember.

I want you to try.

I have. Every day.

It's gone.

He's gone.

Why can't I remember?

What's wrong with me?

We're gonna figure this out... together.

What do you think?

We're taking this case.

I thought you were just
evaluating him, Bull.

You saw the video. He did it.

BULL: What I saw on that video

confirms what I saw in that room:

a young man who is highly
susceptible to hypnotism

and verbal triggers.

Troy is not guilty of this crime.

He was brainwashed to k*ll.

You are getting very sleepy.

Your screen's filthy and
it smells like peanut butter.

Come on, concentrate.
I paid cents for this app.

Okay, hypnosis doesn't work.

Oh, yes, it does work.

I know that it can be used
to stop smoking

or lose weight, but m*rder?

CABLE: I saw a hypnotist at a
magic show once, and he told me

no one'll ever do anything
that they don't want to do.

And that is why
we don't base our defense

on magic shows, Cable.

The human mind is pliable.

And what we want can be manipulated

depending on the vulnerability
of the subject

and the skills of the hypnotist.

So, what's our strategy?

I say let's try to plead
down to manslaughter.

No.

Troy Dickerson isn't responsible
for k*lling his father.

He was psychologically kidnapped.

We will plead not guilty
by reason of insanity.

But Troy has no history of insanity.

I mean, he's not insane, is he?

Temporarily.

To prove insanity, all we have to do

is show that Troy was not
in control of his actions

- at the time of the crime.
- BENNY: I don't know.

Juries aren't gonna look at Troy
and think he's insane.

And they will see him k*ll
his father in cold blood.

It's gonna be impossible
to convince them

that Troy's not responsible.

Troy was in an altered state
when he k*lled his father.

He had no idea what he was doing.

The person who hypnotized him
is responsible.

So, someone just told him
to commit m*rder at : p.m.?

There was a trigger, a word,

a sound, a color,

an object.

Cable and Benny,
I'd like you to break down

everything that Troy
came into contact with.

We find the trigger,

we find the real k*ller.

BENNY: Hey, Bull?

So, who do you have in mind
for a defense lawyer?

Are you curious or campaigning?

Both.

Sorry I'm late.

BULL: Benny, you remember Reed Kenwood.

- Yeah. The, uh, medical
marijuana case. - Yes.

You guys really nailed
the strategy on that one,

but this... (exhales)

I've always wanted to try
an insanity defense.

- Good.
- MARISSA: Oh, Reed, welcome.

We're just getting started
on the juror profiles.

Excuse me.

Have fun.

Reed? Really?

Yeah. He's worked for us
in the past and frankly,

we need to put a believer
in front of this jury.

Eh, what makes you think
that Reed believes in hypnosis?

What makes you think
I'm talking about hypnosis?

Well, if not that, then what?

I don't think you're really back yet.

I'll give you a call when
we're representing a biker g*ng.

Troy and his dad have been
coming here since he was a kid.

I have no idea what got into him.

Those cameras...

did they record the m*rder?

Yeah, but they all show the same thing.

Troy k*lled his father with a four iron.

Is anyone disputing that?

BENNY: Kind of. Would you mind sharing

a copy of all the footage?

Uh, sorry, man. I don't know you, so,

not without a warrant.

Come on. I'm trying to help Troy.

The police were only given one angle.

We're looking for a potential trigger

or something that may have set Troy off.

These different camera angles
may help explain what happened.

DAVID: Yeah, which means
you can come back

- with a warrant. Excuse me.
- (phone ringing)

That computer's not password protected.

I can get the footage
in less than seconds.

Just cover me, partner.

Okay.

- DAVID: Anything else?
- Yes.

While I'm here, I might as well
get a few swings in.

Would you mind setting me up?

Okay.

(David speaking indistinctly)

BENNY: Uh-huh.

(Benny and David chatting indistinctly)

For you...

- Oh.
- That should do it.

(Benny and David chatting indistinctly)

CABLE: Come on.

- BENNY: Yeah, it's nice.
- DAVID: All right, anything else?

- Hey, oh, thank you.
- You good?

BENNY: Thank you.

Uh, w-wait, wait.

Uh, where do I get the balls?

(sighs)

Come on.

You get it?

Ace in the hole.

Don't be offended,

but I'm taking the subway back to work.

Come on, you know you liked
being on the back of my bike.

Yeah, as long as you're not driving.

(laughs)

PROFESSOR: I am so proud of each
and every one of you.

You have taken the first step

on a long and luminous journey

towards realizing your potential.

I'm Thornton Grey.

Founder of the Lumansic Academy.

My daughter Rachel

and I started this learning
center two years ago

with one goal in mind:

you.

(chuckles) That's right.

Yes, all of you, because, here,

we're all family.

Seriously?

This guy's a talking fortune cookie.

No, I see the appeal.

Well, he's passionate,
he oozes charisma.

And he puts on a great presentation.

You're not really buying
into this nonsense, are you?

What matters is that
Troy bought into it.

- That's why we're here.
- Right.

- Now how does that sound to everybody?
- (applause)

AMY: Hi, Benny.

Hi, Amy.

- Is Dr. Bull around?
- He stepped out.

He'll be back soon.

Cruiser or sport bike?

BENNY: Sport bike.

You know your motorcycles.

Oh, my ex-husband
used to restore old Harleys.

Good memories...

of the bikes.

My husband, well,
try to forget him every day.

So, you and Bull started
dating after the divorce.

Ah, you thought that Jason and I...? No.

Our relationship has
always been professional.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I, uh, misread that.

I can see why you
and Dr. Bull get along.

You're very quick with deductions.

I can see why you
and Dr. Bull are friends.

Always observing.

Are those part of the Dickerson case?

Yes.

These are drawings Troy made.

BENNY: Looks like a trident.

He also made these.

When did he start doing this?

Right after you and Bull
came to see him.

You think it's got something
to do with his father's m*rder?

Yes.

Problem is

Troy doesn't know
what these drawings mean.

It's what we call
“a glitch in the matrix.”

It occurs when somebody
has been programmed

to forget an event,

but their mind is desperately
trying to remember.

So, I've reviewed
the surveillance footage

from Chelsea Piers, and in the minutes

leading up to the m*rder,
I don't see Troy talk to anybody

but his father.

BENNY: See if this triggers anything.

A trident.

Like the spear of Poseidon?

Uh, the gum?

- Oh, the m*ssile.
- Let's... try to narrow it down

to things relevant to Troy's life.

Well, maybe Troy's secretly
the god of the sea

who enjoys fresh breath
and nuclear-armed

submarine-launched ballistic weapons.

Follow that lead last.

(chuckles)

Our biggest challenge will
be to convince the jurors

that hypnotism is real.

So... how do we do that?

We hypnotize them.

Wait, you're suggesting we
actually hypnotize them?

I'm suggesting

the power of suggestion.

REED: Ladies and gentlemen,

as part of the voir dire process,

I'm hoping you all can...
help settle a debate

I'm having with my girlfriend.

(radio beeps)

Think they'll buy this?

Maybe not the girlfriend part.

REED: She says this candle
smells like vanilla.

I think it smells like sandalwood.

What do you think?

(sniffs)

Um, I'm not really sure.

Hmm.

Ma'am, what about you?

Vanilla.

Definitely vanilla, right?

Yeah, she's right, it's vanilla.

Hmm.

Jurors four and five are keepers.

It's unscented.

Neither vanilla...

nor sandalwood.

Hmm. The power of suggestion.

How many of you own a g*n?

(whispering):
Prosecution wants g*n owners

because, statistically,
they're tough on crime,

but if we set the narrative right,

g*n owners will sympathize with Troy.

And they'll see him as the g*n,

and the person who hypnotized him

as the one who pulled the trigger.

'Cause g*n owners don't blame the g*n.

Yeah. Stop smiling.

All five jurors are acceptable
to the prosecution.

Uh... (clears throat)

acceptable to the defense.

(indistinct conversations)

Hello, there.

Oatmeal.

Good choice.

Oh, I'm feeling very confident about it.

(laughs) Are you always
confident about your choices?

If every choice were as easy as this...

Oh, but they can be,

once you're at peace with who you are.

I guess I've made a few
left turns along the way.

Ah, who hasn't? Right.

You do seem a little restless.

Have you changed careers recently?

Yeah.

Yeah, I have.

Uh... Hmm.

I started out in sports

and then moved into
the fashion industry,

and now I mostly consult
on other people's appearance.

Appearance?

What you see on the outside

versus what's really
going on inside, hmm?

Yeah.

I'd like to understand
what that means to you.

DANNY: Excuse me? You're, uh,
you're Rachel, right?

RACHEL: Yes. Hi.

DANNY: Hi, I was in the audience

for your dad's speech.

It was so good, and, uh...

I'm submitting an application.

Well, we love hearing that.

You know, this place isn't
at all what I thought.

What were you expecting?

Well, you know, all that
stuff online about...

about Lumansic being a cult.

And that guy k*lling his father.

- Troy, yes.
- Did you, did you know him?

I did.

And I really liked him.

My dad and I oversee all the
first-year students ourselves,

and Dad saw something
really special in Troy.

He was trying to help him.

Never mind all the news.

They just want to sell stories.

Here, we zone all of that out

and try to make ourselves better people.

What do you do?

So, Mr. Grey's daughter said that

he took a particular
interest in our client.

Thornton is the kind of guy
that takes an interest

in everyone.

“Thornton”?

You spoke with him?

Yeah, on my tour.

You-You got a tour? They...

they told me I'd have
to call to schedule one.

(phone buzzing)

- Weird.
- More like rude.

They lied to me.

Hot date?

Indeed. Lumansic.

Thornton wants me to come
to the orientation class tomorrow.

They are totally recruiting him.

And they're not giving
me the time of day.

Danny, they got a whiff
of your skepticism,

and they don't want to take any chances.

And, Chunk, they saw you as open-minded

and inquisitive.

They like the cut of your jib.

Thank you?

Congratulations, you're joining a cult.

Now, please don't k*ll us.

BULL: Okay, Reed, all set to go?

Uh... but I thought Benny was...

I'm gonna deliver the opening
to our mock jury.

Test out our theory about Thornton Grey.

Reed's trying the case.

Mock courtroom is my domain.

Let me take a sh*t.

Okay, show me.

BENNY: Now, these facts
aren't in dispute, right?

You don't have to decide whether
or not Troy k*lled his father.

But you do have to decide whether or not

he lacked the ability
to control his actions

during the incident.

We're gonna prove that Troy

was manipulated to k*ll
his father by Thornton Grey,

the leader of a cult camouflaged

as an elite institution
for higher education.

Where former students
reported being subjected to

ritual indoctrination.

Where they were encouraged
to cut off family ties,

and attended hypnotherapy sessions

to control their behavior.

The mock jurors' readings spiked
when Benny mentioned the tactics

that Lumansic has been using.

But that is the good news.

And the bad news?

Even though the jurors
believe that Thornton Grey

had the skill and opportunity
to hypnotize Troy,

they don't yet believe
he had ample motive

to k*ll Troy's father.

DANNY: Yeah, I may have a lead on that.

So, I looked into Troy's
father's bank records

and it turns out he was,
uh, he was paying

for Troy's tuition at Lumansic
to the tune of grand.

CABLE: Maybe his dad threatened

to cut off the payments.

I mean, Thornton would've
lost a lot of money.

Money is a motive for m*rder.

Troy was one student;

his tuition wasn't gonna
make or break the school.

Just keep digging.

Patty Hearst.

Big day.

Actually, I was thinking
more Donnie Brasco.

How you want me to play this
when I go in?

Well, don't overthink it;
you were chosen for a reason.

Cults, like Lumansic, target people

who are searching for meaning.

Some people are curious,

others have... lost direction
in their lives.

They can be very seductive, Chunk.

You think I'm gonna go native?

(chuckles) Come on, Bull.

It's not about intelligence.

Brilliant minds are co-opted
by cults all the time.

Just be yourself in there,

they're not gonna suspect anything.

I need you inside their practices.

And I want to know the
techniques that they use

on their students.

Keep your eyes open...

every small detail... because

the more specific we can be
with the jury, the better.

And do not...

Drink the Kool-Aid.

Danny already b*at you to it.

I was gonna say,
“Do not be late for orientation,”

but, wow.

I thought Danny would be
more proud of her rejection.

This band's called Trident Four,

I found them in Troy's music library.

Do they know “tri” means three,
not four?

Uh, they're pretty post-hipster,
grunge antiestablishment,

so I'd say it's unclear
whether they're being ironic

or idiotic.

Wow. Let's hear it.

Okay.

♪ We are the chosen ones ♪

♪ Whoa, oh, oh ♪

♪ Whoa, oh, oh... ♪

Interesting, right?

♪ Whoa, oh, oh, we are the chose... ♪

(music stops)

Any indication Troy
was listening to this

on the night of the m*rder?

Unfortunately not,

but it's the best lead I have.

I mean, I've checked all his records.

He's not a fan of The Little Mermaid.

The Little Mermaid, like, King Triton?

Yeah, he carried a trident.

That's so cool
that you know King Triton.

I was Ariel when I was a kid,
for Halloween.

Me, too.

We should totally have a sing-along.

Yeah, you know,

I'm, I'm busy tonight. Um...

Yeah. (grunts)

Okay, well, what about, like, Tuesday?

- Busy.
- Wednesday?

Still busy.

THORNTON: Chunk.

So glad you've joined us.

Thank you.

I'm gonna need your cell phone.

My phone, why?

You'll get it back at
the end of the session.

Sorry about the, uh,
heightened security.

She's concerned about the negative press

we've been getting.

She wants to open a second
campus in Brooklyn.

Wow. That'd be amazing.

It has its pros and cons.

I never want to lose sight
of our mission here.

You know, something I
carefully manage is being sure

that I can devote ample time
to each new student.

I certainly appreciate the time.

(chuckles)

I've been thinking about
something you said yesterday,

about appearances.

I believe I can help you.

Really. How?

Techniques that allow people

to access parts of their subconscious

that've been holding them back

from truly knowing who they are

and what they want.

Chunk.

Have you ever been hypnotized?

Me? Testify?

It's possible.

(sighs)

But I don't remember anything.

The jury needs to see
that you're a regular kid

who had his whole life ahead of him.

Until someone did this to you.

Are they gonna show the video?

Of me hitting my dad?

They will.

My memories of me and my dad
are... playing baseball,

hiking together.

He was my coach, and he
was always there for me.

How do I explain

hurting the man who loved me
most in this world?

I'm here to help you get through this.

But you have to help me understand

what you've gone through.

Let's start with,

what was your attraction to Lumansic?

Lumansic taught me how to look inward.

Find meaning in the here and now,

stop trying to search for
things I'll never find.

Hmm.

Your stepmother mentioned

that your mom left
when you were quite young.

Yeah, I don't even remember
what she looked like.

My dad refused to show me photos.

Lumansic helped me realize
that, deep down,

I resented him for that.

Enough to k*ll him?

Of course not.

He was my dad.

And now he's gone.

(sniffles)

I can't believe this is happening.

I wasn't even supposed
to be with my dad that night.

Where were you supposed to be?

In a session with Thornton.

Dad wanted to go to Chelsea Piers.

It was a tradition of ours.

If I'd just said no...

Troy.

It's gonna be okay.

Troy had a private session with Thornton

every Thursday night
at : p.m., except that night.

A last-minute cancellation.

I-It is possible that whoever
hypnotized Troy to k*ll

didn't know about the change in plans.

Maybe Troy wasn't
supposed to k*ll his dad.

And maybe Thornton wasn't
the k*ller after all.

No, he wasn't.

He was the target.

Troy shouldn't have been with his father

the night of the m*rder.

He had a standing appointment
with Thornton Grey

at that exact time.

Someone wants Thornton dead?

We should warn him.

Oh, I see your session went well
with Dear Leader.

Now we know he's not the k*ller,
and frankly I think Lumansic

has gotten a bad rap.

Oh, my God, you totally
drank the Kool-Aid.

BULL: Chunk, right now
this is just a theory.

We don't want you blowing
your cover at Lumansic.

We need evidence.

Our insanity defense relies

on the jury accepting
that Troy was hypnotized

and someone else
was in control of his actions.

That means they're gonna have
to understand how and why

hypnosis works.

And they're gonna need to hear
from an expert. Marissa?

Have Benny prep Amy.

Hmm.

Chunk, about Lumansic.
I'm headed there now.

Yeah, I don't think you should.

Because I disagree with
your assessment of Thornton?

- No. Chunk, I...
- Look, I appreciate your concern,

but I can handle this.

- Right. What I'm trying to...
- Bull.

Trust me.

BENNY: So the prosecution
will ask, Dr. Levin,

what makes you qualified

to evaluate Troy Dickerson?

I've evaluated over a thousand cases

for both the criminal and civil courts.

Have you ever been wrong
about a patient?

Uh, yes.

How do you live with knowing

that a choice you made

had unintended consequences
on someone's life?

I suppose you have to step back

and think about
why you were in that position

in the first place.

Most likely it's because
you've earned the right

to make certain judgment calls.

And the right to make mistakes.

Honest mistakes.

Life-changing mistakes, nonetheless.

Is everything all right, Benny?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bull thinks I lost faith in myself.

Why would he think that?

I'm sorry, I...

I got off track.

Let-Let-Let's get back to prep.

I'd love to take you to dinner tonight.

Amy, I, uh...

I just got out of a relationship.

I think you're amazing,

but I'm not ready to jump
back into something.

Benny.

I think you've gotten the wrong idea

about why Jason suggested we connect.

Apparently, I have a new therapist.

Oh, good for you.

Bull, you crossed the line.

What was I supposed to do?

You're spiraling

and you're certainly
not opening up to me.

So you hire me a shrink?

I wouldn't say “hired.”

I'm paying her in baked goods.

Don't joke. This is my life
we're talking about here.

And it's affecting your work

and my work.

What do you want?

Hmm? Want me to admit that,
that, that I slept with Erin?

Okay, I slept with Erin, all right?

I... I slept with Erin.

And, yes, she was our client.

It was a mistake and now it's over.

We good?

Not until you're ready to admit

what's really going on with you.

Sleeping with Erin was the
symptom, not the problem.

(utensil clatters)

In the Original Position,

no one knows where
they'll wind up in society.

If you start with this foundation,

that's when you get true compassion.

Chunk.

Excuse me.

Really compelling.

Where'd you learn
about Rawls's Theory of Justice?

(laughs softly) I read a lot, as do you.

Listen, do you have somewhere
you need to be right now?

Not necessarily, no.

Excellent.

I have a surprise for you.

(chuckles)

Flotation therapy.

Helps you visualize, focus better.

Chunk.

I really think this can help you

figure out why you've struggled
to find your path in life.

Don't worry.

I'll be right out here
to talk you through it.

(horn honking)

Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?

I want you to say the word “red.”

BAILIFF: State your name again
for the record.

Red.

Yeah, but not to me.

To the jury.

They have to hear it at least times

for it to sink into their subconscious.

Why ?

Repetition, enhances
the power of suggestion.

By tomorrow, they'll be seeing
red without knowing why.

Now, I want to work it in organically.

Can't be too overt.

That's why I picked red.

Magenta would've been much
harder, so, thanks.

JUDGE: Counselor?

Uh, yes. Your Honor, I am...

read-y to go.

We've all seen the video.

We all saw Troy k*ll his father.

The prosecution has argued
that it is m*rder.

Plain and simple. Do you agree?

I agree that Troy physically
caused his father's death.

But I do not agree

that he should be found guilty
of m*rder.

He doesn't look crazy.

So how are you coming
to that conclusion?

I was asked by the state

to give Troy a psychological evaluation,

and it's my expert opinion

that he was not in control
of his actions,

which is the definition

of insanity.

See, that sounds

hard to believe.

Can someone really use hypnosis

to make Troy m*rder?

Objection. Calls for speculation.

That makes me red in the face,
Your Honor.

This is not speculation

but expert opinion.

You may answer the question.

Yes, it's rare.

But so is Troy.

I believe hypnotic technique
forced him to att*ck his father

and he's still not completely aware.

How?

He was at a driving range.

AMY: Post-hypnotic suggestion
can be triggered at any time.

Feeling a touch on the shoulder,

hearing a particular word
or phrase, music...

A Red Hot Chili Peppers song, perhaps?

AMY: Uh, sure.

Triggers can be a color,
a sound, an object.

Maybe something he read.

Trigger must've been something

near where Troy k*lled his father.

Well, brought back everyone
who was here that day.

Asked them to recreate what
they were doing at the time.

(inhales)

Including playing the same music.

EMPLOYEE: Order , Philly

- Order , pick up, please.

Popcorn?

No, he would have walked
by that earlier.

The trigger had to be something else.

A color, a sound.

(phone ringing)

Sorry, that didn't happen
before the m*rder.

♪ Ah, yeah... ♪

Troy's cell phone.

We went over the call log.

Not his calls.

We need to look at his phone.

Dr. Levin's testimony swayed
jurors three and eight.

What about juror nine?

Ooh, hasn't budged.

She's a visual learner.

Seeing is believing.

And now we are gonna show her
the power of hypnosis.

Cable, bring up the surveillance
footage from Chelsea Piers.

Why?

I know what triggered Troy to k*ll.

THORNTON: What do you think?

Well, I think it's freaky and I like it.

(chuckles)

It allows the mind to open,

unfold its truths, confront its secrets.

Now you can tell me
what's really going on.

How long have you worked at TAC?

Hmm?

Why did Dr. Bull send you here?

THORNTON: We know you're working
for Troy's defense team.

What exactly were you hoping to find?

Open the door.

How's Troy doing?

Yes.

I lied about why I came to Lumansic.

But everything that I told you
about myself, my life,

that was all true.

(lock clicks)

Don't you ever come back here.

REED: Rachel Grey,

you and your father Thornton
Grey founded Lumansic,

isn't that correct?

It is.

What are you hoping
to get out of Rachel?

Watch and listen closely.

And what about your vision for Lumansic?

Is-Isn't it true that your
father wants to keep it small

but you want to expand?

You know, more money,
more power, more influence.

We've had many discussions
about the future.

(chuckles) Contentious discussions.

You had to convince him
to create a second campus.

- No.
- I mean, isn't it true

that you and your father
are running a cult?

Absolutely not.

REED: You take advantage of people,

people searching for answers.

You psychologically manipulate them

to your will.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

Do you use hypnosis on your students?

Sometimes.

It's one tool of many that can
help students break through.

REED: Now, what would you think, Rachel,

if I told you

that simply by saying a specific word

over and over... the... (sighs)

...word “red,” for example, yesterday,

that it would cause everyone on the jury

to wear something red today.

(chuckles)

(Bull chuckles)

You spent... two years

training at the American
School for Behavioral Sciences

and Hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is an amplified version

of the technique
that I just demonstrated.

RACHEL: What you just demonstrated

is purely persuasion.

And hypnosis is a very powerful tool

in the hands of a highly trained
individual like yourself,

you could persuade someone

to m*rder.

Objection.

Withdrawn.

Could you take out your
cell phone, please?

Objection. Relevance?

JUDGE: Sustained.

We will show the phone record
is relevant, Your Honor.

Rachel, could you please
call Troy's phone?

RACHEL: No. I'm not doing that.

No?

He can't make me do that, right?

No, he can't.

(sighs)

But I can.

Ma'am, dial the phone.

OFFICER: Hey!

(grunts)

Stop.

- Officers.

Get off of him.

(gasps)

What just happened?

(gavel banging)

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

That was all your doing, wasn't it?

Helps you to think of me as
a cult leader, doesn't it?

Makes it easier for you

to send people into my house
to spy on me,

to destroy my life's work,

to condemn my daughter as a k*ller.

Just as it helps you to think
of your victims as students?

Makes it easier to steal their
lives and call it tuition?

You should've left us alone.

Then you'd never know the
truth about your daughter.

The night she called Troy
to trigger him,

she thought he was with you.

How's that for enlightenment?

JUDGE: Has the jury reached a verdict?

On the charge of m*rder
in the second degree,

we, the jury, find the
defendant, Troy Dickerson,

not guilty by reason of insanity.

(exhales)

♪ Red, red wine... ♪

Congratulations, Reed.

You did it.

You won your first insanity case.

How's it feel?

Pretty insane.

(both laugh)

Uh, uh, uh, any-any word on Rachel?

Uh, the police are opening
a formal investigation.

It's likely she'll be charged
with m*rder and kidnapping.

Hmm. Uh, don't tell Bull this,

but I wasn't sure that the whole
“red” thing would actually work.

Really?

Nice socks.

DANNY: So, you were underwater?

No, I was floating.

It was actually quite peaceful.

Uh-huh. Was the peaceful
part before or after

you heard the voice
of the crazy cult leader

who told you you were
locked in the crazy pod?

(chuckles)

You know, this thing about
me being the chosen one,

it got me to thinking,
we both were chosen.

No, Lumansic rejected me outright.

I'm not talking about them.

I'm talking about a group of people

with a fanatical commitment
to a charismatic leader,

a belief that his way is the only way

and a complete lack of life
outside of the organization.

To the Cult of Bull.

♪ My blue, blue heart... ♪

Nicely done.

Hmm.

Troy has a long road of recovery
ahead of him.

I'll be sure he gets
all the help he needs.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help with Benny.

AMY: I'm afraid I didn't get very far.

Far enough, I think.

And what about you, Jason?

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

Doctor.

I have Tuesdays at : open.

Your old slot.

I think you just want my “Better

(indistinct chatter and laughter)

(sighs)

I guess it's time I came clean, huh?

I'm being investigated by
the U.S. Attorney's office.

Nine years ago, I put a
man named Hayden Watkins

in prison for m*rder.

DNA evidence has just
proven his innocence.

- You were doing your job.
- No.

The night before the trial
started, I got a call from...

(sighs) ...Long Island PD.

They'd just had a similar crime,

similar M.O., thought
it might be my guy.

So I just... dismissed it

because I was sure that
Watkins was guilty.

I put an innocent man in
prison for nine years.

You know what?

That's on me.

Benny...

I was wrong.

You haven't lost faith in yourself.

I think you lost faith in me.

No, that's not true.

Yeah, it is true.

You should've come to me with this.

Solving problems is what I do.

I'm not a client.

You're more than that.

You're family.

And you're not alone.

If they come after you, they
have to go through me first.
