The Dead Zone s03e07 Episode Script
Looking Glass
Okay and why are you bringing me here? Cauze how you dress.
Reflects how you feel.
And when I look at you I sense uptight.
This is classic.
This is never goes out of style.
I guess, if you're Johnny Cash.
Don't talk about the Cash man.
Now this is what I'm talkin' about.
Something with a little color to brighten things up.
It says, "Hey, I'm fun.
Get to know me.
" What is this? "Bruce Eye for the Psychic Guy?" Your loss.
Hey! Is it me or this guy with the black coat has been following us from store to store? My guess he is a fashion victim and he senses your expertise.
- You're right dead on, I appreciate that.
- Check this stuff.
I'm just saying a little variety.
I dress to fit my mood, you know that.
- You dress in black.
- Like I said, I dress to fit my mood.
Excuse me gentlemen.
You're Johnny Smith, right? Yeah, do I know you? I'm a big fan of your work, Mr.
Smith.
What's up? Did you see something? What the hell is going on? That guy in the overcoat is going to kill a girl.
And he wanted me to see it.
How did he get up there so fast? Excuse me.
Excuse me.
That's him.
He's down here.
Excuse me Excuse me.
Hey.
Nine P.
M.
tomorrow.
Tick, tock.
Tick, tock.
The Dead Zone - Saison 3 - Episode 07 " Looking glass " Traduction par Cpt Lolo, Ronanasplit, Unknow37 She was maybe 18, 19.
She was terrified.
Like she knew she was about to die.
Her arms were bound on a wooden chair behing her.
I didn't get a good look at her but, I think she had long brown hair.
- That's all I saw.
- What did the room look like? It was dark, it was wet, it was lit by a single light-bulb.
The kind of room you see in old houses.
I also heard a clock hour striking the hour.
That could be anywhere John.
Anywhere.
It's not a lot of time.
Do you think he's just trying to provoke you? What else does he approach me? Are you sure you don't recognize this guy? I never seen him before in my life.
Also the most important thing.
I remember he was wearing a comedy mask.
One of those comedy-tragedy masks.
How do we know it's even the same man if he were wearing a mask? All we have to go on is his face - Are you lucky? - No! Nothing.
Excuse me.
Have you seen this man? Oh.
Yeah, I remember him.
Came in last night.
I think he bought some masks.
- Which ones? - Matching set.
Comedy mask.
That's the one I saw him wearing.
- Did he pay crash or card? - Cash.
Are you sure about that? Yeah, it was a fifty.
We don't get many fiftys.
Don't see many of those.
- Do you still have it? - The fifty? Ah, yea, maybe haven't taken yesterday's receipts to the bank yet.
There were two of them.
Two of who? The guy has an identical twin.
I think they're law students.
- Do you recognize the man in this sketch? - Hmmm we have so many students.
- He might have an identical twin.
- Oh sure, that's either George or Lennie Todd.
I can never tell them apart.
They're T.
A.
s in the law department.
Looks like they're in seminar today.
There class is from 6 to 8 pm tonight.
Do you have an address for them? We're also looking for a female, she has long brown hair, she might be a law student.
- You have a name? - No we don't.
- Has something happened to her? - That's what we're trying to find out.
All our students have a photo I.
D.
on file but there must be a hundreds of girls with long brown hair.
Maybe she's in a class with one of the twins.
- Can you cross reference them? - It will take some time.
It's very important that we find her.
does it extend to other areas, like tech and internet privacy? I'm sure your gut reactions are yes, this is America.
But how many of logged onto chat room and typed some information that wasn't not so honest? That's free speech, of course.
But when does lying cross the boundary into breaking the law? That's the question.
So Can I help you? Yeah, I'm Sheriff Bannerman from the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department.
Oh, Sheriff Bannerman.
Is there some sort of problem? I'd rather speak to you and your brother in private.
Can it wait? We're in the middle of class.
Wow.
Class.
We have a special guest.
The one, the only, Mr.
Johnny Smith is gracing us with his amazing, yet often questionable psychic power.
And you're together! How epic! The thought of the police working in tandem with a psychic is absolutely Orwellian.
Interesting bedfellows, indeed.
Why don't you put the laser pointer away so we can step outside? Ok.
.
Class, take a look at the briefs for a few moments.
We'll be right back.
Are these the two guys you saw? - Yeah.
- That's them, all right.
I don't know what kind of game you guysare playing, but you're not gonna get away with it.
Get away with what? Did you approach Johnny Smith at the mall last night? I don't know, Maybe he approached us? Look, we've got witnesses.
One of the store clerk recognized you.
- I'll handle this.
- I'll handle this.
Did you say witnesses? Are we being charged with something? - Did you buy any masks? - Wait comon' Wait a second.
Are you seriously asking us whether or not we were at the mall buying masks? When did that become a crime? I had a vision and saw you murder a girl with long brown hair.
A vision of us? This must be some kind of joke.
Did Fuller in I-Tech put you up to this? C'mon, show me the cameras, where are they? - You said she was going to die at nine P.
M.
- Who is going to die? - I don't remember saying anything.
- I saw you there.
You did? I don't think you know who you saw.
But this - this does look like me.
- Or me.
- Can we keep this? - We'll get it framed and on the fireplace.
What we're doing is going to be epic Get off.
We're done here.
Keep that charlatan on a leash.
Excuse us, we've got to get back to class.
What happens when a psychic touches you without consent? Is that an invasion of your civil rights? Lennie, that might make a good paper.
What do you think? - Agreed.
- Agreed.
Test on that tomorrow.
- What did you see? - It's them.
I saw the faces.
Just now in my vision.
When does this class get out? Another hour.
Gives them plenty of time to get to the scene of the crime.
I still don't understand why they wanted you to see them commit a murder.
- Are they stupid or crazy? - They aren't stupid.
How much time do we have left? Little over two hours.
We got 3 hours until these psychos killed somebody.
I'm the only witness.
Bannerman.
Yeah Tami how you doing? You do? That's great.
Thanks a lot.
We'll be right there.
She says she's got a list of brunettes for us to check out.
Keep an eye on these guys and give us a call if they live.
I'll call.
Thanks for staying so late.
You didn't really specify a hairstyle, so there's quite a few in the stack.
I hope this helps.
These girls change their hair as often as they change their mood.
- That's her.
- Are you sure? That's her.
Fernanda Lauer.
Give me that address.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're on the move Don't let them out of your sight.
That was Bruce.
The twins left their class.
- We're cutting it close.
- I know.
How you doing? I'm Sheriff Bannerman and this is John Smith.
- What's wrong? - We're looking for Fernanda Lauer.
She's my roommate.
But she's not here.
- Do you know where she is? - With her boyfriend, George.
I think she was going over to his house.
- A party is going on.
Are you sure this is the right place? - This is it.
Look.
I heard a clock in my vision.
Ten minutes 'til nine.
We don't have much time.
Hey, it's me.
We're at the twins house right now, - There's some kind of party going on.
- I know.
I'm looking at them and you're not going to believe the theme of this party Don't lose them, we're coming in.
That's nice.
Good thing for you I'm busy.
I'm really starting to hate these guys.
Bruce where are they? Over there I thought they was there for sure How much time is left? Five minutes.
Over here, over here.
Go that way, go that way - I lost them.
- They're not out here.
They have to be here somewhere.
Let's go.
They're here.
We've got to break down the door.
Just hang on a sec.
We can't just go and break a door without probable cause.
We go that just on your word, they could get off on a technicality.
Do you hear that? That's definitely the clock that I heard in my vision.
This girl could die any second.
- Did you see her sream? - No.
I'm telling you right now, you've just heard a scream.
I definitely heard a scream.
Can't you hear it? - Loud and clear.
- That's a probable cause.
Drop the knife.
Drop it.
Go against the wall.
Hurry up.
She's still breathing.
No kidding.
Of course she is breathing What the hell is this? - You caught us.
- And we caught you.
Smile for the camera Mr.
Smith.
One minute past nine.
Not bad.
Of course, if this was real, she'd have been dead.
I can't wait to see your face on the video.
It was just priceless.
Seems there's a bit of controversy over an incident that took place at the Whitley College where two law students have raised an odd legal challenge over a local psychic's ability to predict a crime.
We have more in this report.
So this is where everything's happen.
Our quarry is the alleged psychic Johnny Smith.
- We're going to trick him.
- But this is much more than just a hoax.
We're out to prove a point.
Like fine cooking, little fake blood, dash of costume masks a large bucher knife.
And then let it simmer.
What we're doing is going to be epic.
But our show wouldn't be complete without a victim.
- Hey, everybody! - You're alright? Lennie, will you do the honors? Quite harmless.
But the real fun starts when he follow our suspects.
Johnny Smith's psychic "powers" are the ultimate invasion of privacy.
Do we want to live in a world where a man who has suffered brain damage from a car crash can lead the police to harass you, or even break down your door? And if he's wrong about this, what else, who else, is he wrong about? Wasn't it just a few months ago that Johnny Smith himself was accused of murder? And now he's a self-appointed judge and jury.
They set me up.
It's a kind of prop.
- This guys used me.
- You think that's bad? They're threatening to sue the Sheriff's Department, and us.
- For what? - Violation of their rights.
- They came after me.
- Yeah, I know.
Don't worry about.
Just go home, we're clean this all thing up.
It's that simple.
Let me get this straight.
Johnny Smith gets 'Punk'd' We just go home? End of story? Walt's right.
We got had.
I made a mistake.
You might make a mistake, but not your visions.
What I want to know is, why me? - What did I do to them? - There's only one way to find out.
Com'on Hey Johnny, did you catch any killers? Higher education.
Mr.
Smith? Pleasant surprise.
- You got a minute? - Sure.
C'mon in.
I've been expecting you.
So you won.
You got me.
What was the point? Our law review article on nontraditional law enforcement.
Our big chance to get published It was genius, really.
What were you trying to prove? That I'm a fake? - My visions still led me right to you.
- But ultimately your visions were wrong.
What you "see" is warped by your own psyche.
You have such a dark view of the world All you see is the crime and ugliness.
We just wanted to prove you can be wrong.
You definitively can't be trusted.
Do you know how many people this man has saved? You didn't prove a damn thing.
May ask you something.
How did you and your brother know so much about me? We've been studying you for months.
It's amazing how much information is out there if you know where to look.
We learned a lot following the Rachel Caldwell murder.
We read everything.
Lotta ink on you, lotta ink.
Wait, you're Johnny Smith, what am I telling you? Miracles do happen.
Just look at Johnny Smith.
His powers are truly.
A divine gift, proof of God's abilities to intervene in our lives.
Let Johnny's gift be an inspiration to us all.
Please, pick up the phone.
Now, today, a pledge to a gift.
So, what'd you think? Pretty clever? So that's what this is all about? Your mother gave all her money to Reverend Purdy and you and your brother blame me? My mother? What did you just see? So all this was just a misguided act of revenge? Nothing is misguided about it.
My mother gave you and Purdy everything she had.
Do you know what it's like? Losing your mother to a phony man of God? Yes, actually I do.
She died with nothing.
Probably more so from regret than the cancer.
Guess you and Purdy were fresh out of miracles.
I'm really sorry about your mother, but you need to know something.
I have nothing to do with Reverend Purdy's fundraising or Faith Heritage.
Your denial is not gonna help bring my mother back.
Now I think it's start for both you to leave.
I've got a lawsuit to prepare.
- George, what these 2 doing here? - Leaving.
- What does he want? - Looking for reasons.
- He knows about mother.
- So he knows.
Time for him to leave.
Agreed.
- Please - Please Go, Mr.
Smith.
We'll find our way out.
See you in court.
You're gonna sit here and veg out all day? Anything wrong with that? So that's it? No sage advice? No existential rap to spur me into action? If you want to sulk, be my guest.
Sulk.
Com'on.
Maybe you were right.
Maybe.
The clothes I were, the mood I'm in.
Maybe I only do see the worst.
I'd argue with you if I thought you believed what you were saying.
You and I both know this isn't over yet Stupid.
- Nice - Huh.
.
There's still replay.
Hey budy.
Lenny could you do the honnor please? What are you looking for? Something's wrong.
Something's different.
Check this out.
See her hair, on the hoax video it was brushed and pulled back in a ponytail.
You see? - Yeah - There was no sense of a struggle here.
But in my vision, her hair was wild, like she fought back, but she couldn't escape.
- You saw a real murder? - Oh yeah.
And it's still going to happen.
What are you doing out here? Come up and ring the doorbell, do something, but quit watching us, you're freaking me out.
I'm not here to freak you out.
I'm gonna call the cops unless you leave.
Listen, I know this is will sound crazy, but you're in a lot danger right now.
- You need to stay away from George Todd.
- Why? Please.
I wouldn't be out here if I didn't believe it.
You just can't take it, can you? We got you and now you gotta do something to justify what's going on in your head.
It was nothing but a joke.
That's it.
A joke.
Just consider the possibility that I'm right.
George and I are moving in together.
We love each other.
And that's why I don't need you or anyone else to question.
Now please leave.
Let go of me! Listen to me.
I saw your funeral.
I saw your mother crying, she had a locket with a picture of her holding you as a child.
She's gonna put it in your casket.
She's gonna fix your collar.
Because even in death, your mother wants you to look beautiful.
- How did you know all that? - Don't risk it Fernanda.
Don't risk it just stay home tonight.
We're done.
- What's the matter.
Something wrong with your own home? - Can't sleep.
Well, I was doing that fine.
Nice and peacefully.
Until the station called lodging a complaint against you.
You can't just sit outisde of somebody's house John.
It's harassment.
I'm not leaving her side, Walt.
I saw the girl die.
My vision wasn't the same as the one on the hoax video.
What if your vision is wrong? - Again? - I know what I saw.
By the way her hair looked? I heard.
But John, if you got a problem, let me know.
I'll take care of it allright? You can't just stalk someone all the night I'll go talk to her.
- Alright.
- Let's go.
Fernanda Lauer, it's Sheriff Bannerman.
I've been watching the door all night.
Calm down.
We got a possible homicide at 2728.
Let's go.
It's the twin's house.
I'm sorry, John.
You were right.
I wish I wasn't.
It looks just like the video off the 'net.
Found this next to the body - Any sign of forced entry? - Basement door was broken.
- We did that the other night.
- There was a note.
"I did this for Johnny we believe.
" A copy-cat killer? You gotta be kidding me.
They picked you because they saw you on the news.
Who's to say somebody didn't pick them after seeing all the footage on the internet? No.
George and Lennie, they planned this, they rehearsed it in their own basement.
Let me ask you something John.
In your visions, did you actually see George and Lennie kill the girl? Or it was just someone in a mask? I saw this girl killed here.
At 9pm.
The coroner estimated the time of death at nine P.
M Who phoned it in Roscoe? You two are coming down to the station to answer some questions.
Anything.
Anything we can do.
You want to formally charge us, then charge us.
We both lost somebody this night.
Do you understand? If you want our help, we'll give it to you to catch the real killer.
- Do you want a lawyer? - Why? You're charging us of something? - I'm not ruling anything out just yet.
- Are you seriously assessing our culpability? - That's ridiculous.
- That's ridiculous.
- Why would we stage an elaborate hoax of a murder for all the world to see - only to go ahead and commit the same murder - in our own basement? - What is the logic behind? How does that - make any sense? You tell me.
It does create reasonable doubt - We couldn't have killed her - We couldn't have killed her - I loved her.
- We loved her.
- It wasn't supposed to be like this - It wasn't supposed to be like thisit was just - supposed to be a - joke Where were you two tonight? - With each other.
- We were together.
- Doing what? - If you want to formally charge us, then charge us.
I lost somebody tonight.
You understand? If you want our help, we'll give it to you to catch the real killer.
They're right.
This story is out the media papers, TV, the net.
Anyone could walk in there and done a copycat murder given the higly publicized blueprint.
Let me get warm in a room with any one of this guys.
- There's no way i'm gonne let you touch them.
- You have to have their consent.
You have no legal standing.
They'd see that as a violation of their civil rights.
How do we not have a case? It happened in their own home.
Allright, allright, hang on a second.
Let me just play Devil's Advocate for a second okay? The bloodstains found on the boys.
Corn syrup.
From the hoax.
There are fibers from the girl all over the boys, but seeing the fact that George is dating her, that all adds up to a thick cloud of reasonable doubt.
If you hadn't fallen for their scheme and searched their house without their consent, we might have had a case.
Oh, oh, wait a minute You're not going to charge them? You're just go let them walk? I've the same dislike for those two, but the only evidence we have is, for lack of a better word, your "visions.
" Visions we both know that are unreliable and inconsisten.
And inadmissible.
- I want the man who did this brought to justice.
- We both do.
We're very sorry that our thoughtless prank has led to the death of a dear friend.
Both miss her very much.
Our hearts go out to her family.
She died because I couldn't help her in time.
Do you really think a copycat did this? No, but until there has solid evidence that puts those two at the crime scene, I've got to investigate all suspects.
Don't you have any physical evidence that ties them to the murders? The forensics are inconclusive.
But one thing i would say is those guys have been more than cooperative.
Even volunteered to stay in a hotel while we swept their home.
They may be guilty, but they're not acting that way.
I just want to know why.
Why did they do it.
What do you want? Having fun? You think this is "fun"? Show some respect.
I think you should leave.
This is harassment.
Oh, you call this harassment? This is nothing.
I know that you gotta killed her.
And I'm gonna prove it.
Our stupid little prank got Fernanda killed.
Isn't that enough for you? How could you take it this far? - We deceived to ridicule you.
- And the only way you can seem credible is to believe your own delusion.
- But this isn't the time for your crusade Mr Smith.
- Johnny? - Sheriff, this man is harassing us.
- Please, do your job.
For once.
This is still an active murder investigation.
Come on, John, let's go.
Don't worry, Mr.
Smith.
We all make mistakes.
- You're Lennie, right? - Yeah.
Why? You're sick, Lennie.
Stay away from me.
You killed her You killed her and you made sure it hurt.
- What is he talking about? - You're psychotic! - This is assault! - While Fernanda was being murdered, Your brother was pretended to be you.
She called out your name, George.
It's a trick.
He's just trying to get us to turn on each other.
Allright, Johnny.
Out of here.
Now.
Look at me.
She thought you killed her, George.
- And she had no idea why.
- Com'on let's go.
Listen to me.
He's trying to turn us against each other, don't listen to him.
- ######### - You better hope they don't press charges.
- With a hit like that, he's gonna have a mark.
- Exactly.
Now I can tell them apart.
Why aren't you saying anything? George? What was Johnny Smith talking about? It was nothing.
He's a joke and he's bent that we proved it.
He said she called out my name.
It's the basic divide-and-conquer cop strategy.
He fabricates a story so we turn on each other.
Why would we turn on each other if we didn't kill her? Tell me the truth, Len.
- Did you kill her? - Did you? I can't believe you're falling for this.
Did you kill Fernanda? That's crazy.
Say it.
Let me hear you say it.
I did not kill her.
But they might think we did.
You understand? They're looking for every reasons they can to blame us.
We made them look bad and now they're going to pin this on us.
We need to stick together.
We're brothers.
Thank's for talking to me.
I had anywhere else to go.
I need to know what you saw in your vision.
You know what I saw in my vision.
You're probably wondering what I was doing that day.
The night she died The thought's defenitly crossed my mind, George.
If you touch me, you'll know the truth.
I want to hear it from you.
I was out buying some groceries.
For Fernanda and her mom.
Was gonna cook for 'em, that night.
You know, i wanted to get in good with the mother So I could ask her daughter.
My brother left that night, he said he had to go to school to get some papers.
- And you don't believe him.
- I don't know what to believe.
It was just supposed to be a hoax.
That was it.
I didn't hurt her.
Get a statement for I make sure your record it, allright.
Thanks.
What are you doing here with him? Look, I think you should listen to what he has to say.
Don't tell me, he's here to accuse his brother of murder, right? Yeah.
How did you know that? Because Lennie just came in and he accuse George of the same crime.
I'll be careful if I were you, it's look like that they still playing it.
I don't think so.
George didn't kill her.
Lennie did.
Lennie is doing a pretty compelling case for George being the killer.
He had affair with Fernanda and George found out about it.
Problem is, it's gonna be pretty tough to convict one of them.
- Reasonable doubt? - Yeah.
Any smart attorney is gonna puts both stand, Lennie's word against George's.
The jury will never be able to sort out the truth.
- We can't let the killer get away with this.
- I'm open to suggestions, John.
Can you get me into the evidence room? Sure.
What do you need? You working for the Sheriff Office now? How apropos.
You think? George claims you're the one who murdered Fernanda.
Of course he will.
George is the guilty one.
Oh yeah? But I know you did it.
You can't see everything, M.
Smith.
You what Lenny? You know why I'm here? I'm here to give you a second chance to save your brother.
You can save him.
There's no such thing as a perfect crime.
And you want else ? It's only a matter of time for all this physical evidences ties you and George to the crime.
But you and I know that you killed Fernanda, not George, right? What do you think about this? You want your brother go down for something you did? Have a look, Vision Quest, look all you want.
We both know that your visions aren't admissible in a court of law.
Lennie! - What have you done? Did you hate her? - George.
Get out of here.
- Is that why you killed her? Wasn't she good enough for you? - George.
I'm talking to my brother, you freak.
Were you jealous of her? Were you jealous of her? I need an answer.
I need to know - I can't live with myself with you.
.
- George, you're talking crazy.
- knowing what you did - Don't say anything until a lawyer gets here.
What's the hell is going on there? Walt?! He's got my gun! - No! Don't! George?! - Oh-my-god! He he shot himself.
George! - Allright.
I tried to stop him - George! George! What have you done? Let me see my brother! He's dead, Walt.
No.
No no why? Why did he do that? What are you crying for, Lennie? George just did you a favor.
Now that he's dead, you can pin the murder on your brother and noone will know anything else.
Shut up! Shut up! - Shut up! - Maybe there's such a thing as the perfect crime after all.
You don't know anything.
I loved my brother.
He was my best friend.
Everything I did I did it for him! He didn't understand what she was doing to us.
She blinded him to what was really happening She was tearing us apart.
I did it for him.
I did it for us.
So you killed her? I had to.
She left me no choice.
And your brother George helped you? No.
He loved her.
He didn't know anything.
He just wanted to get back at you.
The hoax was his idea.
But then he decided to leave me to move in with her.
.
She messed up his mind up Don't you see? And now he's dead.
.
It's her fault She left me no choice.
I did it for him.
- You did it for me? - George? - Oh my God, you're alive? - Don't touch me.
This is fake blood, man.
That was all it was supposed to be, a hoax.
But you killed her.
Why? Why ? Because I loved her? She was just a girl.
We're brothers.
We're not brothers.
Not anymore.
George? George! Don't leave me here? - You are under arrest.
- George! Don't leave me? For the murder of Fernanda Lauer.
Please don't leave me here.
What am I going to do without you? George?
Reflects how you feel.
And when I look at you I sense uptight.
This is classic.
This is never goes out of style.
I guess, if you're Johnny Cash.
Don't talk about the Cash man.
Now this is what I'm talkin' about.
Something with a little color to brighten things up.
It says, "Hey, I'm fun.
Get to know me.
" What is this? "Bruce Eye for the Psychic Guy?" Your loss.
Hey! Is it me or this guy with the black coat has been following us from store to store? My guess he is a fashion victim and he senses your expertise.
- You're right dead on, I appreciate that.
- Check this stuff.
I'm just saying a little variety.
I dress to fit my mood, you know that.
- You dress in black.
- Like I said, I dress to fit my mood.
Excuse me gentlemen.
You're Johnny Smith, right? Yeah, do I know you? I'm a big fan of your work, Mr.
Smith.
What's up? Did you see something? What the hell is going on? That guy in the overcoat is going to kill a girl.
And he wanted me to see it.
How did he get up there so fast? Excuse me.
Excuse me.
That's him.
He's down here.
Excuse me Excuse me.
Hey.
Nine P.
M.
tomorrow.
Tick, tock.
Tick, tock.
The Dead Zone - Saison 3 - Episode 07 " Looking glass " Traduction par Cpt Lolo, Ronanasplit, Unknow37 She was maybe 18, 19.
She was terrified.
Like she knew she was about to die.
Her arms were bound on a wooden chair behing her.
I didn't get a good look at her but, I think she had long brown hair.
- That's all I saw.
- What did the room look like? It was dark, it was wet, it was lit by a single light-bulb.
The kind of room you see in old houses.
I also heard a clock hour striking the hour.
That could be anywhere John.
Anywhere.
It's not a lot of time.
Do you think he's just trying to provoke you? What else does he approach me? Are you sure you don't recognize this guy? I never seen him before in my life.
Also the most important thing.
I remember he was wearing a comedy mask.
One of those comedy-tragedy masks.
How do we know it's even the same man if he were wearing a mask? All we have to go on is his face - Are you lucky? - No! Nothing.
Excuse me.
Have you seen this man? Oh.
Yeah, I remember him.
Came in last night.
I think he bought some masks.
- Which ones? - Matching set.
Comedy mask.
That's the one I saw him wearing.
- Did he pay crash or card? - Cash.
Are you sure about that? Yeah, it was a fifty.
We don't get many fiftys.
Don't see many of those.
- Do you still have it? - The fifty? Ah, yea, maybe haven't taken yesterday's receipts to the bank yet.
There were two of them.
Two of who? The guy has an identical twin.
I think they're law students.
- Do you recognize the man in this sketch? - Hmmm we have so many students.
- He might have an identical twin.
- Oh sure, that's either George or Lennie Todd.
I can never tell them apart.
They're T.
A.
s in the law department.
Looks like they're in seminar today.
There class is from 6 to 8 pm tonight.
Do you have an address for them? We're also looking for a female, she has long brown hair, she might be a law student.
- You have a name? - No we don't.
- Has something happened to her? - That's what we're trying to find out.
All our students have a photo I.
D.
on file but there must be a hundreds of girls with long brown hair.
Maybe she's in a class with one of the twins.
- Can you cross reference them? - It will take some time.
It's very important that we find her.
does it extend to other areas, like tech and internet privacy? I'm sure your gut reactions are yes, this is America.
But how many of logged onto chat room and typed some information that wasn't not so honest? That's free speech, of course.
But when does lying cross the boundary into breaking the law? That's the question.
So Can I help you? Yeah, I'm Sheriff Bannerman from the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department.
Oh, Sheriff Bannerman.
Is there some sort of problem? I'd rather speak to you and your brother in private.
Can it wait? We're in the middle of class.
Wow.
Class.
We have a special guest.
The one, the only, Mr.
Johnny Smith is gracing us with his amazing, yet often questionable psychic power.
And you're together! How epic! The thought of the police working in tandem with a psychic is absolutely Orwellian.
Interesting bedfellows, indeed.
Why don't you put the laser pointer away so we can step outside? Ok.
.
Class, take a look at the briefs for a few moments.
We'll be right back.
Are these the two guys you saw? - Yeah.
- That's them, all right.
I don't know what kind of game you guysare playing, but you're not gonna get away with it.
Get away with what? Did you approach Johnny Smith at the mall last night? I don't know, Maybe he approached us? Look, we've got witnesses.
One of the store clerk recognized you.
- I'll handle this.
- I'll handle this.
Did you say witnesses? Are we being charged with something? - Did you buy any masks? - Wait comon' Wait a second.
Are you seriously asking us whether or not we were at the mall buying masks? When did that become a crime? I had a vision and saw you murder a girl with long brown hair.
A vision of us? This must be some kind of joke.
Did Fuller in I-Tech put you up to this? C'mon, show me the cameras, where are they? - You said she was going to die at nine P.
M.
- Who is going to die? - I don't remember saying anything.
- I saw you there.
You did? I don't think you know who you saw.
But this - this does look like me.
- Or me.
- Can we keep this? - We'll get it framed and on the fireplace.
What we're doing is going to be epic Get off.
We're done here.
Keep that charlatan on a leash.
Excuse us, we've got to get back to class.
What happens when a psychic touches you without consent? Is that an invasion of your civil rights? Lennie, that might make a good paper.
What do you think? - Agreed.
- Agreed.
Test on that tomorrow.
- What did you see? - It's them.
I saw the faces.
Just now in my vision.
When does this class get out? Another hour.
Gives them plenty of time to get to the scene of the crime.
I still don't understand why they wanted you to see them commit a murder.
- Are they stupid or crazy? - They aren't stupid.
How much time do we have left? Little over two hours.
We got 3 hours until these psychos killed somebody.
I'm the only witness.
Bannerman.
Yeah Tami how you doing? You do? That's great.
Thanks a lot.
We'll be right there.
She says she's got a list of brunettes for us to check out.
Keep an eye on these guys and give us a call if they live.
I'll call.
Thanks for staying so late.
You didn't really specify a hairstyle, so there's quite a few in the stack.
I hope this helps.
These girls change their hair as often as they change their mood.
- That's her.
- Are you sure? That's her.
Fernanda Lauer.
Give me that address.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're on the move Don't let them out of your sight.
That was Bruce.
The twins left their class.
- We're cutting it close.
- I know.
How you doing? I'm Sheriff Bannerman and this is John Smith.
- What's wrong? - We're looking for Fernanda Lauer.
She's my roommate.
But she's not here.
- Do you know where she is? - With her boyfriend, George.
I think she was going over to his house.
- A party is going on.
Are you sure this is the right place? - This is it.
Look.
I heard a clock in my vision.
Ten minutes 'til nine.
We don't have much time.
Hey, it's me.
We're at the twins house right now, - There's some kind of party going on.
- I know.
I'm looking at them and you're not going to believe the theme of this party Don't lose them, we're coming in.
That's nice.
Good thing for you I'm busy.
I'm really starting to hate these guys.
Bruce where are they? Over there I thought they was there for sure How much time is left? Five minutes.
Over here, over here.
Go that way, go that way - I lost them.
- They're not out here.
They have to be here somewhere.
Let's go.
They're here.
We've got to break down the door.
Just hang on a sec.
We can't just go and break a door without probable cause.
We go that just on your word, they could get off on a technicality.
Do you hear that? That's definitely the clock that I heard in my vision.
This girl could die any second.
- Did you see her sream? - No.
I'm telling you right now, you've just heard a scream.
I definitely heard a scream.
Can't you hear it? - Loud and clear.
- That's a probable cause.
Drop the knife.
Drop it.
Go against the wall.
Hurry up.
She's still breathing.
No kidding.
Of course she is breathing What the hell is this? - You caught us.
- And we caught you.
Smile for the camera Mr.
Smith.
One minute past nine.
Not bad.
Of course, if this was real, she'd have been dead.
I can't wait to see your face on the video.
It was just priceless.
Seems there's a bit of controversy over an incident that took place at the Whitley College where two law students have raised an odd legal challenge over a local psychic's ability to predict a crime.
We have more in this report.
So this is where everything's happen.
Our quarry is the alleged psychic Johnny Smith.
- We're going to trick him.
- But this is much more than just a hoax.
We're out to prove a point.
Like fine cooking, little fake blood, dash of costume masks a large bucher knife.
And then let it simmer.
What we're doing is going to be epic.
But our show wouldn't be complete without a victim.
- Hey, everybody! - You're alright? Lennie, will you do the honors? Quite harmless.
But the real fun starts when he follow our suspects.
Johnny Smith's psychic "powers" are the ultimate invasion of privacy.
Do we want to live in a world where a man who has suffered brain damage from a car crash can lead the police to harass you, or even break down your door? And if he's wrong about this, what else, who else, is he wrong about? Wasn't it just a few months ago that Johnny Smith himself was accused of murder? And now he's a self-appointed judge and jury.
They set me up.
It's a kind of prop.
- This guys used me.
- You think that's bad? They're threatening to sue the Sheriff's Department, and us.
- For what? - Violation of their rights.
- They came after me.
- Yeah, I know.
Don't worry about.
Just go home, we're clean this all thing up.
It's that simple.
Let me get this straight.
Johnny Smith gets 'Punk'd' We just go home? End of story? Walt's right.
We got had.
I made a mistake.
You might make a mistake, but not your visions.
What I want to know is, why me? - What did I do to them? - There's only one way to find out.
Com'on Hey Johnny, did you catch any killers? Higher education.
Mr.
Smith? Pleasant surprise.
- You got a minute? - Sure.
C'mon in.
I've been expecting you.
So you won.
You got me.
What was the point? Our law review article on nontraditional law enforcement.
Our big chance to get published It was genius, really.
What were you trying to prove? That I'm a fake? - My visions still led me right to you.
- But ultimately your visions were wrong.
What you "see" is warped by your own psyche.
You have such a dark view of the world All you see is the crime and ugliness.
We just wanted to prove you can be wrong.
You definitively can't be trusted.
Do you know how many people this man has saved? You didn't prove a damn thing.
May ask you something.
How did you and your brother know so much about me? We've been studying you for months.
It's amazing how much information is out there if you know where to look.
We learned a lot following the Rachel Caldwell murder.
We read everything.
Lotta ink on you, lotta ink.
Wait, you're Johnny Smith, what am I telling you? Miracles do happen.
Just look at Johnny Smith.
His powers are truly.
A divine gift, proof of God's abilities to intervene in our lives.
Let Johnny's gift be an inspiration to us all.
Please, pick up the phone.
Now, today, a pledge to a gift.
So, what'd you think? Pretty clever? So that's what this is all about? Your mother gave all her money to Reverend Purdy and you and your brother blame me? My mother? What did you just see? So all this was just a misguided act of revenge? Nothing is misguided about it.
My mother gave you and Purdy everything she had.
Do you know what it's like? Losing your mother to a phony man of God? Yes, actually I do.
She died with nothing.
Probably more so from regret than the cancer.
Guess you and Purdy were fresh out of miracles.
I'm really sorry about your mother, but you need to know something.
I have nothing to do with Reverend Purdy's fundraising or Faith Heritage.
Your denial is not gonna help bring my mother back.
Now I think it's start for both you to leave.
I've got a lawsuit to prepare.
- George, what these 2 doing here? - Leaving.
- What does he want? - Looking for reasons.
- He knows about mother.
- So he knows.
Time for him to leave.
Agreed.
- Please - Please Go, Mr.
Smith.
We'll find our way out.
See you in court.
You're gonna sit here and veg out all day? Anything wrong with that? So that's it? No sage advice? No existential rap to spur me into action? If you want to sulk, be my guest.
Sulk.
Com'on.
Maybe you were right.
Maybe.
The clothes I were, the mood I'm in.
Maybe I only do see the worst.
I'd argue with you if I thought you believed what you were saying.
You and I both know this isn't over yet Stupid.
- Nice - Huh.
.
There's still replay.
Hey budy.
Lenny could you do the honnor please? What are you looking for? Something's wrong.
Something's different.
Check this out.
See her hair, on the hoax video it was brushed and pulled back in a ponytail.
You see? - Yeah - There was no sense of a struggle here.
But in my vision, her hair was wild, like she fought back, but she couldn't escape.
- You saw a real murder? - Oh yeah.
And it's still going to happen.
What are you doing out here? Come up and ring the doorbell, do something, but quit watching us, you're freaking me out.
I'm not here to freak you out.
I'm gonna call the cops unless you leave.
Listen, I know this is will sound crazy, but you're in a lot danger right now.
- You need to stay away from George Todd.
- Why? Please.
I wouldn't be out here if I didn't believe it.
You just can't take it, can you? We got you and now you gotta do something to justify what's going on in your head.
It was nothing but a joke.
That's it.
A joke.
Just consider the possibility that I'm right.
George and I are moving in together.
We love each other.
And that's why I don't need you or anyone else to question.
Now please leave.
Let go of me! Listen to me.
I saw your funeral.
I saw your mother crying, she had a locket with a picture of her holding you as a child.
She's gonna put it in your casket.
She's gonna fix your collar.
Because even in death, your mother wants you to look beautiful.
- How did you know all that? - Don't risk it Fernanda.
Don't risk it just stay home tonight.
We're done.
- What's the matter.
Something wrong with your own home? - Can't sleep.
Well, I was doing that fine.
Nice and peacefully.
Until the station called lodging a complaint against you.
You can't just sit outisde of somebody's house John.
It's harassment.
I'm not leaving her side, Walt.
I saw the girl die.
My vision wasn't the same as the one on the hoax video.
What if your vision is wrong? - Again? - I know what I saw.
By the way her hair looked? I heard.
But John, if you got a problem, let me know.
I'll take care of it allright? You can't just stalk someone all the night I'll go talk to her.
- Alright.
- Let's go.
Fernanda Lauer, it's Sheriff Bannerman.
I've been watching the door all night.
Calm down.
We got a possible homicide at 2728.
Let's go.
It's the twin's house.
I'm sorry, John.
You were right.
I wish I wasn't.
It looks just like the video off the 'net.
Found this next to the body - Any sign of forced entry? - Basement door was broken.
- We did that the other night.
- There was a note.
"I did this for Johnny we believe.
" A copy-cat killer? You gotta be kidding me.
They picked you because they saw you on the news.
Who's to say somebody didn't pick them after seeing all the footage on the internet? No.
George and Lennie, they planned this, they rehearsed it in their own basement.
Let me ask you something John.
In your visions, did you actually see George and Lennie kill the girl? Or it was just someone in a mask? I saw this girl killed here.
At 9pm.
The coroner estimated the time of death at nine P.
M Who phoned it in Roscoe? You two are coming down to the station to answer some questions.
Anything.
Anything we can do.
You want to formally charge us, then charge us.
We both lost somebody this night.
Do you understand? If you want our help, we'll give it to you to catch the real killer.
- Do you want a lawyer? - Why? You're charging us of something? - I'm not ruling anything out just yet.
- Are you seriously assessing our culpability? - That's ridiculous.
- That's ridiculous.
- Why would we stage an elaborate hoax of a murder for all the world to see - only to go ahead and commit the same murder - in our own basement? - What is the logic behind? How does that - make any sense? You tell me.
It does create reasonable doubt - We couldn't have killed her - We couldn't have killed her - I loved her.
- We loved her.
- It wasn't supposed to be like this - It wasn't supposed to be like thisit was just - supposed to be a - joke Where were you two tonight? - With each other.
- We were together.
- Doing what? - If you want to formally charge us, then charge us.
I lost somebody tonight.
You understand? If you want our help, we'll give it to you to catch the real killer.
They're right.
This story is out the media papers, TV, the net.
Anyone could walk in there and done a copycat murder given the higly publicized blueprint.
Let me get warm in a room with any one of this guys.
- There's no way i'm gonne let you touch them.
- You have to have their consent.
You have no legal standing.
They'd see that as a violation of their civil rights.
How do we not have a case? It happened in their own home.
Allright, allright, hang on a second.
Let me just play Devil's Advocate for a second okay? The bloodstains found on the boys.
Corn syrup.
From the hoax.
There are fibers from the girl all over the boys, but seeing the fact that George is dating her, that all adds up to a thick cloud of reasonable doubt.
If you hadn't fallen for their scheme and searched their house without their consent, we might have had a case.
Oh, oh, wait a minute You're not going to charge them? You're just go let them walk? I've the same dislike for those two, but the only evidence we have is, for lack of a better word, your "visions.
" Visions we both know that are unreliable and inconsisten.
And inadmissible.
- I want the man who did this brought to justice.
- We both do.
We're very sorry that our thoughtless prank has led to the death of a dear friend.
Both miss her very much.
Our hearts go out to her family.
She died because I couldn't help her in time.
Do you really think a copycat did this? No, but until there has solid evidence that puts those two at the crime scene, I've got to investigate all suspects.
Don't you have any physical evidence that ties them to the murders? The forensics are inconclusive.
But one thing i would say is those guys have been more than cooperative.
Even volunteered to stay in a hotel while we swept their home.
They may be guilty, but they're not acting that way.
I just want to know why.
Why did they do it.
What do you want? Having fun? You think this is "fun"? Show some respect.
I think you should leave.
This is harassment.
Oh, you call this harassment? This is nothing.
I know that you gotta killed her.
And I'm gonna prove it.
Our stupid little prank got Fernanda killed.
Isn't that enough for you? How could you take it this far? - We deceived to ridicule you.
- And the only way you can seem credible is to believe your own delusion.
- But this isn't the time for your crusade Mr Smith.
- Johnny? - Sheriff, this man is harassing us.
- Please, do your job.
For once.
This is still an active murder investigation.
Come on, John, let's go.
Don't worry, Mr.
Smith.
We all make mistakes.
- You're Lennie, right? - Yeah.
Why? You're sick, Lennie.
Stay away from me.
You killed her You killed her and you made sure it hurt.
- What is he talking about? - You're psychotic! - This is assault! - While Fernanda was being murdered, Your brother was pretended to be you.
She called out your name, George.
It's a trick.
He's just trying to get us to turn on each other.
Allright, Johnny.
Out of here.
Now.
Look at me.
She thought you killed her, George.
- And she had no idea why.
- Com'on let's go.
Listen to me.
He's trying to turn us against each other, don't listen to him.
- ######### - You better hope they don't press charges.
- With a hit like that, he's gonna have a mark.
- Exactly.
Now I can tell them apart.
Why aren't you saying anything? George? What was Johnny Smith talking about? It was nothing.
He's a joke and he's bent that we proved it.
He said she called out my name.
It's the basic divide-and-conquer cop strategy.
He fabricates a story so we turn on each other.
Why would we turn on each other if we didn't kill her? Tell me the truth, Len.
- Did you kill her? - Did you? I can't believe you're falling for this.
Did you kill Fernanda? That's crazy.
Say it.
Let me hear you say it.
I did not kill her.
But they might think we did.
You understand? They're looking for every reasons they can to blame us.
We made them look bad and now they're going to pin this on us.
We need to stick together.
We're brothers.
Thank's for talking to me.
I had anywhere else to go.
I need to know what you saw in your vision.
You know what I saw in my vision.
You're probably wondering what I was doing that day.
The night she died The thought's defenitly crossed my mind, George.
If you touch me, you'll know the truth.
I want to hear it from you.
I was out buying some groceries.
For Fernanda and her mom.
Was gonna cook for 'em, that night.
You know, i wanted to get in good with the mother So I could ask her daughter.
My brother left that night, he said he had to go to school to get some papers.
- And you don't believe him.
- I don't know what to believe.
It was just supposed to be a hoax.
That was it.
I didn't hurt her.
Get a statement for I make sure your record it, allright.
Thanks.
What are you doing here with him? Look, I think you should listen to what he has to say.
Don't tell me, he's here to accuse his brother of murder, right? Yeah.
How did you know that? Because Lennie just came in and he accuse George of the same crime.
I'll be careful if I were you, it's look like that they still playing it.
I don't think so.
George didn't kill her.
Lennie did.
Lennie is doing a pretty compelling case for George being the killer.
He had affair with Fernanda and George found out about it.
Problem is, it's gonna be pretty tough to convict one of them.
- Reasonable doubt? - Yeah.
Any smart attorney is gonna puts both stand, Lennie's word against George's.
The jury will never be able to sort out the truth.
- We can't let the killer get away with this.
- I'm open to suggestions, John.
Can you get me into the evidence room? Sure.
What do you need? You working for the Sheriff Office now? How apropos.
You think? George claims you're the one who murdered Fernanda.
Of course he will.
George is the guilty one.
Oh yeah? But I know you did it.
You can't see everything, M.
Smith.
You what Lenny? You know why I'm here? I'm here to give you a second chance to save your brother.
You can save him.
There's no such thing as a perfect crime.
And you want else ? It's only a matter of time for all this physical evidences ties you and George to the crime.
But you and I know that you killed Fernanda, not George, right? What do you think about this? You want your brother go down for something you did? Have a look, Vision Quest, look all you want.
We both know that your visions aren't admissible in a court of law.
Lennie! - What have you done? Did you hate her? - George.
Get out of here.
- Is that why you killed her? Wasn't she good enough for you? - George.
I'm talking to my brother, you freak.
Were you jealous of her? Were you jealous of her? I need an answer.
I need to know - I can't live with myself with you.
.
- George, you're talking crazy.
- knowing what you did - Don't say anything until a lawyer gets here.
What's the hell is going on there? Walt?! He's got my gun! - No! Don't! George?! - Oh-my-god! He he shot himself.
George! - Allright.
I tried to stop him - George! George! What have you done? Let me see my brother! He's dead, Walt.
No.
No no why? Why did he do that? What are you crying for, Lennie? George just did you a favor.
Now that he's dead, you can pin the murder on your brother and noone will know anything else.
Shut up! Shut up! - Shut up! - Maybe there's such a thing as the perfect crime after all.
You don't know anything.
I loved my brother.
He was my best friend.
Everything I did I did it for him! He didn't understand what she was doing to us.
She blinded him to what was really happening She was tearing us apart.
I did it for him.
I did it for us.
So you killed her? I had to.
She left me no choice.
And your brother George helped you? No.
He loved her.
He didn't know anything.
He just wanted to get back at you.
The hoax was his idea.
But then he decided to leave me to move in with her.
.
She messed up his mind up Don't you see? And now he's dead.
.
It's her fault She left me no choice.
I did it for him.
- You did it for me? - George? - Oh my God, you're alive? - Don't touch me.
This is fake blood, man.
That was all it was supposed to be, a hoax.
But you killed her.
Why? Why ? Because I loved her? She was just a girl.
We're brothers.
We're not brothers.
Not anymore.
George? George! Don't leave me here? - You are under arrest.
- George! Don't leave me? For the murder of Fernanda Lauer.
Please don't leave me here.
What am I going to do without you? George?
