[doctor] Name three

[Roy] Chair, lamp, clock.

[doctor] Three objects
not in this room.

Whisky bottle,
airplane, racehorse.

[groans] Fuck.

- [doctor] Today's date.
- Thursday.

The date, not the
day of the week,

Um...

September. Sep...

[breathes unevenly]

[doctor] How about the year?

What's your city of birth?

Do you remember
your mother's name?

How about your father?

[doctor] This is an
experimental procedure.

Electrodes will send impulses

to the target
areas in your brain.

[groans]

[doctor] New neural
pathways should develop,

but the results can be
a little less predictable,

especially given your
history of substance abuse,

a common trigger
for Alzheimer's.

[phone buzzing]

Hello.

[woman] Is this Roy Freeman?

Hello?

Yeah. Um, my
name is Emily Dietz.

I work with the
Clean Hands Project.

Clean Hands Project?

Yes!

We are a legal action nonprofit

and we advocate for inmates

who have been
disenfranchised by the system.

Okay.

Would you have a
few minutes to speak?

Yeah.

What's this about?

It's... regarding an
old case of yours.

[people chatter][country
music playing]

[creaks]

[softly] Emily Dietz.

- [Emily] Mr. Freeman?
- Ms. Dietz.

[Emily] Oh. Hi.

- Emily.
- Emily.

I really appreciate
you meeting with me.

No problem.

You said it was about,
uh, an old case, huh?

Yes, sir. Isaac Samuel.

Isaac Samuel?

Um... I... I'm
sorry. I-I don't, uh...

[Emily] Oh. Of course.

I'm sure you've seen more cases

than you care to remember.

Yeah. Something
like that. [chuckles]

[Emily] He was convicted
in the Joseph Wieder murder

at Waterford
College ten years ago

and is scheduled to be executed

end of next month.

We've tried to get a
stay from the governor,

but it's not looking good.

Okay.

I don't recognize him.

What's he got to do with me?

Mr. Samuel requested to
speak with the detectives

who had interrogated him
the night of his confession.

I interrogated him?

And I have yet to locate
your former partner.

What does he want to talk about?

I'm afraid he didn't say.

That's something that you
will have to ask him yourself.

[Roy] Isaac Samuel?

Yeah.

[sighs]

I'm Roy Freeman. I
used to be a detective.

I've been told you
wanted to see me.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Well, here I am.

How are you doing?

Oh, you know, I'm blessed, Roy.

Ten years, three hots and a cot,

member of the
death row book club.

Prison got my body,
but Allah got my spirit.

Like you give a
fuck how I'm doing.

I see.

So, this lady,
uh... Emily Dietz,

from the Clean Hands Project,

she told me you
wanted to talk to me.

Is that what you wanted to say?

No, you're here 'cause I
want to know how it feels

to know an innocent man
is gonna be put to death.

Right.

And, uh... you are
the innocent man?

[Isaac] Yeah.

Don't get me wrong, Roy.

I'd done some bad shit,
made some bad decisions,

but killing Joe Wieder
ain't one of them.

Isaac...

you confessed.

You were brought
in for questioning

and you confessed.

So now you're telling
me, all this time later,

suddenly you remember
things different?

Ain't nothing sudden about it.

I've been in here ten
years. Ten fucking years.

Nothing to do but replay
that shit in my head.

- How it really went down.
- Right.

That's why I'm here.

So you can tell me
how it really went down.

Look, I know you
ain't no cop no more,

the way they shit-canned you

over that
drunk-driving accident,

but maybe you want to
clear your conscience.

At least hear me
out... this time.

I'm listening.

Night of the murder,

I was so strung out,
I ain't remember shit.

You guys hammered me all night.

By the time I saw those
photos, I was so fucked up

I thought I must have done it.

You broke in, you
beat him to death.

We found your fingerprints
all over the house!

Come on!

Just admit it, son. Admit it.

This was you. This was
you! You did this! This is you!

This is all fucking you![moans]

[detective] Admit
it![Isaac sobs]

Yeah. [sniffles]

Why did you go to his house?

The year before
Wieder got killed,

I got rung up for theft.

Formula for my little man.

And Wieder testified as
an expert witness for the DA.

I told the judge I
was so high that night

I wasn't thinking straight,

but Wieder said I knew
exactly what I was doing.

So they tried me as an adult.

You know what it's
like to be 18 years old

and some skinhead's bitch?

Let's just go back over this.

Wieder testifies against
you and gets you prison time.

You go to his house, it's
late at night. You're angry.

You don't like
this... I ain't no killer!

I just wanted my son back

and I thought maybe
Wieder could help.

Yeah, I went to his house.

I waited for his
caretaker to leave

and I went round the back.

[engine starts]

[ominous music playing]

[lush orchestral music plays]

I even made it
all the way inside.

Hello, Shadow.

[choral music plays
on record][thud on door]

[Isaac] But then
someone else came in.

Oh! Back so soon?

[Isaac] And then
shit just went bad.

[Wieder] I'm sorry.[loud
crash and clattering]

[Wieder groans]

[thudding][Wieder groans]

[Isaac] I panicked and I left
before I could see who it was.

[repeated thwacks][Wieder] No!

Okay. So you never touched him.

Uh, but you don't...
I'm telling you the truth!

[tense music playing]

Okay, Isaac.

You think I'm lying.

Well, ask Richard
Finn. He'd tell you.

You're gonna have to remind me.

Um... who-who is Richard Finn?

He came to see me
a few months back.

He's writing some
book about the murder.

- A book?
- Yeah.

[sighs deeply] Look,
uh, Isaac, I just don't see

that I'm gonna be in a
position to get involved.

You already involved,
Roy! This is on you.

You were there when I
signed that fucking confession!

Make it right!

I paid for what I
did when I was 18.

Make this shit
right or I'm dead!

[clock ticking]

[tap dripping]

[doctor] The medication
can aid synaptic regeneration,

but you must keep
your mind active...

books, puzzles, anything
to stimulate your brain.

[tense, dramatic music playing]

It was you! It
was you! Admit it!

You did this! This is you!

Well, ask Richard Finn.

[dark, unsettling music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[knock at door]

Hey!

Roy?

Yeah.

What the fuck are
you doing here?

I was just in the neighborhood.

Come in.

Hey.

Come in, come in, come in.

Come in, come in.

You know, I can't remember
the last time I saw your face.

There you go, Roy.

[chuckles] You know when it was?

Ahh, it must have
been ten years ago

when those fucking sons
of bitches took your badge.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Listen, I hope you're not still
carrying around all that shit.

I mean, we all drank
on the job back then.

That accident,

that could have
been any one of us.

Cheers.[bottles clink]

Cheers.

What's up? You on the
wagon or something?

Uh... well, yeah. [chuckles]

My-my doctor says it'll
mess with my medication, so...

You're sick, Roy?

No. I'm doing, uh,
like a clinical trial.

I've got Alzheimer's,

so they put these little
pulses into my fucking head.

It's supposed to
stimulate memory.

Jesus Christ, Roy.

If you hadn't have said
my name at the front door,

I wouldn't have
known it was you.

So you...

you have no memory of
you and me on the job?

- No.
- Fuck.

No, I-I read old case files

and it's all fresh
information for me.

Yeah, but it's not just
my time on the job.

My whole fucking
life is a black hole. I...

Fuck, man.

Remember Cat?

My wife.

Anyway, she, uh...

she passed last year.

Cancer.

- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.

Fucking cancer.

Department health fund

wouldn't pay her hospital bills.

I had to sort it out.

Anyway, you didn't
come here for that shit.

What brings you by, Roy?

Okay. Uh... you remember
a guy called Isaac Samuel?

He got convicted for murder,

that thing that happened
at Waterford College

with a professor?

Ahh. You've been
talking to the lady

from the advocacy group.

I didn't call her back.

Oh, well, I took the call

and, uh, she said that Isaac
wanted to talk to me, so...

You spoke to Isaac Samuel?

Yeah. I went down
to the state prison

and we talked and, uh...

he tells me he didn't do it.

Come on, Roy. That's what
they all say on death row.

Yeah, I know, I know.

But I gotta say, Jimmy,
he was... convincing.

He mentioned another guy
that came to see him. Uh...

[ominous music playing]

Finn.

Richard Finn.

Does that name ring
any kind of bell with you?

[exhales]

It was so long ago,
I-I-I don't remember...

Well, I read the file

and when we dusted that house,

Finn's prints are all
over the place inside.

All through the house.

So?

They were there. Who cares?

Richard Finn said
he wasn't at the house

the night of the murder.

That's in his statement, okay?

But we never followed it up.

We never corroborated
his whereabouts

and I just kinda found
that a bit strange.

Is that not strange?

What's your point?

I don't know. [chuckles]

I was just thinking
that you and me,

we'd maybe go and talk to him,

see what he has
to say for himself.

- Why?
- I don't know.

It's just a feeling.

That's all I got to
go on these days.

Besides, my doctor says I
gotta keep my mind active,

so what the fuck, huh?

Sure, Roy.

I'll look into it.

I still got a few
friends on the job.

Okay.

[Jimmy] I'll be in touch, Roy.

[dark, ominous music playing]

[mellow R&B music plays, muted]

♪ You ♪

♪ What do you see? ♪

[song fades]

[glass crackles] Ah!

[camera shutter clicks rapidly]

[phone buzzing]

Yeah. [Jimmy] I found your boy.

I found Richard Finn.

[Jimmy] The landlady found
him when she let the gas man in.

How did he die?

Overdose. Fentanyl.

[Roy] Only one needle hole.

What?

He's not much of a junkie.

There's no track marks.

So he's a newbie. Didn't
know what he was doing.

[distorted, rumbling soundscape]

[police radio chatter]

[grim music playing]

- You alright there, Roy?
- He was there.

At the crime scene.

- Yeah. You said that.
- No.

No, not just his prints.

He was there the next
morning when we were there.

Is this what you're remembering,

seeing him at the crime scene?

This guy's prints are
at the house. All over it.

He turns up to the crime
scene the next morning.

We talk to him.

His alibi for the
time of the murder

is that he was home alone.

And we don't follow it up.

We don't talk to his friends,

we don't talk to his neighbors.

Isaac Samuel's prints
were all over the house.

He had motive and he confessed.

It doesn't make sense.

Well, it doesn't matter
now. The dead don't talk.

Yeah, maybe.

But they do leave shit behind.

[priest] From ashes to
ashes, from dust to the dust,

so it must be.

Oh, God, the
spirit of all our joys,

the cause of our delights,

the glory of our darkest nights.

[Roy] Uh, Mrs. Finn?

My name's Roy Freeman.

I, uh...

I understand this
is a very bad time,

but can I just ask a
couple of questions

about your husband?

Uh... I'm her husband, Eddie.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Eddie.

Hi. Uh... is the other Mrs.
Finn around here somewhere?

[Eddie] Uh, no.

She and Richard weren't
exactly on the best of terms.

Now, is there something
I can help you with?

He was my brother.

I'm looking into a case

that your brother was
particularly interested in.

Recently he went to
visit a death row inmate

and he mentioned he
was actually writing a book

on the subject.

I wondered if you knew
anything about this.

I'm gonna get a ride
home with Aunt Jude.

- Yeah.
- Okay?

- [Eddie] Okay.
- Okay.

[sighs]

I'm, uh... just over here.

Here.

I found it in his apartment.

He called it The
Book of Mirrors.

The title doesn't
make any sense to me.

Book of Mirrors...

Isaac Samuel, that,
uh, death row inmate,

he said this is about
the Wieder murder?

Yeah, well, if
Richard were here,

he'd probably call it a
crime memoir or some shit.

You read it?

Much as I could stomach.

It's a bunch of
self-aggrandizing garbage,

you ask me.

About some girl he was
obsessed with in college.

So, uh, you guys weren't close?

Look, I don't mean to
speak ill of the dead,

but Richard wasn't
exactly someone

that you wanted to get close to.

How long had he been using?

Drugs?

No. No.

I never knew him
to be into drugs.

It just didn't seem his thing.
Then again, with Richard,

nothing was ever
really how it seemed.

I mean, he'd always
been a little bit off,

even when we were kids,

but this last year, last
couple of years, even,

something just
didn't seem right.

What was different?

I don't know. He was...

agitated, paranoid.

Just like he comes
across in that book.

Now, listen, if I were you,

I wouldn't waste
too much time on it.

Okay. I can keep this?

Be my guest.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Richard] "Memory
is a fickle thing.

What we can
recall, what we can't.

Rare moments
that forever imprint,

banalities that don't.

Sufferings so painful,

they're buried deep
in our mind's recesses,

forgotten till time
digs it back up.

Whatever the memory, though...
good, bad, unremarkable...

it never comes back all at once.

They're always
doled out in fragments

like pieces of a puzzle you
have to wait to complete."

[faint chatter]

[Richard] "When you'll
get another puzzle piece...

that's anyone's guess.

Months, years,
could be a decade."

Richard Finn.

[Richard] "Like it was with
the murder of Joseph Wieder.

Ten years of never
understanding it."

[guests chatter]

[glass clinks]

[Richard] "Or as I now
know, misunderstanding it."

[woman chuckles] No.

[indistinct conversation]

[Richard] "And
all because of her.

Laura Baines.

She was one of
those rare unicorns

who knew everything
about everything."

Nobody made better use
of chromatic counterpoint

than Rachmaninoff.

[Richard] "Double bachelor's in

art history and neuroscience."

between lower cortisol levels
and their predisposition...

[Richard] "A master's in math."

The beauty of what
Odlyzko showed

is that the distribution...

[Richard] "Spoke
five languages."

[speaking in Russian]

[speaking in French]

[speaking in Japanese]

[Richard] "She knew
exactly who she was.

If only I did back then."

[clearing throat]

How's the punch?

The way you've
been skulking around,

waiting for your moment
to come and talk to me,

I figured you'd at least come
up with something better than,

"How's the punch?"

I wasn't skulking.

Not just skulking. Leering too.

Oh! Skulking and leering.

You're making me sound
like I'm a serial killer.

Well, I can say I knew you when.

[scoffs]

- I'm, uh, Richard.
- I know.

It's on your chest.

Oh. Right.

And yet, uh, here you are,

nameless and shrouded
in mystery. Seems unfair.

"Oh, what's in a name, really?

That which we call a
rose by any other name."

Oh, great!

Another bardolater.

[laughs]

So, uh, what's
your thesis about?

Um... No! Don't tell me.

- Let me guess. Okay.
- Okay.

Uh... it's probably
something controversial.

- Probably.
- Yeah.

Okay, "Cross Gender Interference

in A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Boom.

Close.

"Memory Reconsolidation

Through Accelerated
Resolution Therapy."

Oh. One of the Bard's
lesser known works.

[laughs]

[chuckles]

Um... [clears throat]

Psychology
department. I'm Laura.

What, you just like to crash
other departments' mixers?

Oh, uh, no, I
came with a friend.

Well, a colleague,
really. Professor Wieder.

I'm helping him
with some research

and he's administering
my thesis.

Right.

On memory reconstruction

through the accelerated
reconciliation?

"Memory Reconsolidation
Through..."

Yeah, okay.

No. Sorry. I'm just
being hard on you now.

It is a bit of a mouthful.

[chuckles]

How many wishes do you get?

Oh. [chuckles]

It, uh... It belonged
to my grandmother.

I read somewhere

that, uh, when a woman
plays with her jewelry,

it means she's
flirting with you.

Oh! Really? Hmm.

Well, you shouldn't
believe everything you read.

Okay.

[dramatic music playing]

[both moan passionately]

[both panting]

[moaning loudly]

Choke me!

What?

Do it!

[moans, gasps]

Harder!

Oh! Oh!

[grunting]

[intense unsettling
music playing]

[gasping]

[gasping]

[breathes deeply]

[laughs]

[panting]

[laughing]

[Richard] "From that moment on,

it was like we
were inseparable."

[gentle music playing]

[bell rings] "For the
next few months,

we did everything together.

She made me feel like
the best version of myself."

[sighs]

So... what do you think?

[Laura] What do I think?

I think you're fucking
brilliant, Richard.

I mean, other people
need to read your work.

You should send it to...
to Harper's, The Atlantic,

all the big fiction
rags.[chuckles]

[Richard] "It was like I
was experiencing the world

for the first time
through her eyes."

- You're so talented.
- Thanks.

[phone rings]

Just, uh, one second. Sorry.

Hey, Mom.

"But not everything
was looking rosy."

Uh-huh.

"A few months after we met,

my father died
of a heart attack.

My mother couldn't
afford my room and board.

Laura wanted to help

and that's how I first met
Professor Joseph Wieder."

Laura. Welcome!

Uh, sorry we're late.

- Not a problem.
- Hi.

Hello!

[door creaks]

Had to finish a call with
our friend in DC, anyway.

- Ah! Mm-hm.
- Mm-mm.

You must be Richard.

Laura's told me a lot about you.

All lies, I'm sure.

Exaggerations and half-truths.

Those I can live with.[chuckles]

Do we feel like martinis?

- Sure.
- Yes!

[all laugh]

So, Richard, Laura tells
me you want to be a novelist.

Literary memoir, actually.

- Mmm!
- Oh?

I'm not familiar.

Well, you see,

a traditional memoir
is someone's life story.

The genre's not concerned
with questions of truth,

imagination, memory, style.

Literary memoir has a
fictional element, then?

No, no, I wouldn't
call it fictional, really.

- No.
- Oh. Sorry. [chuckles]

[chuckles]

No, you see, uh, the author's

telling the truth of the story

as he believes it to be true.

They. As they
believe it to be true.

Self-perception and
personal experience

have a part in it.

Okay.

[chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

More wine?

- Please.
- Yes!

[Laura clears her throat]

[Wieder] You know
something?[mouths silently]

[mouths silently]
Ten years from now...

we'll look back to this dinner

and all we'll remember is

the Chateau Leoville Barton.

Oh, I doubt that.[chuckles]

The mind replaces
memories all the time.

It's innate to its wiring.

Especially if you
drink too much.

[chuckles softly]

Do the thing.

Hmm?[Laura] Come on!

It's not a party trick.

Wait. What is she talking about?

[Laura] It helps explain
what we're working on.

Okay, then. Pick a memory. Hmm?

From your childhood. Anything.

Objects, moments, people.

Anything you can easily recall?

Uh...

Okay. Uh... [chuckles softly]

I remember we had
this green shag rug

and, uh...

[chuckles] ...four goldfish

named after the guys in KISS.

[chuckles]

[Wieder] That's a good memory.

How about something that
you wish you could forget?

Um...

Did your parents ever hit you?

[laughs uncomfortably] No.

Did you ever get lost

in a shopping mall
or a big supermarket?

I mean... come to think of
it, there was this one time

we went to a toy
store, and, uh...

I... I couldn't find
my mom. [chuckles]

[Wieder] Were you scared?

I mean, I haven't
thought about it

since it happened, but...

Yeah.

I looked for her everywhere.

And you eventually found her?

Uh... outside smoking.

Huh. It's... crazy.

I'd forgotten all that.

At the, uh... the heart
of our research, uh...

Joe's research

is the thesis that most
people experience trauma,

but the mind blocks
those memories

from ever actually presenting.

The trauma you
experienced that day

was your mother abandoning you.

You were a child. Vulnerable.

And that fact that your
mother might actually harm you

is too traumatic to process.

So you suppressed
it from memory.

But the effects of that trauma

still linger in your
subconscious

and become part of
the fabric of who you are.

Wow. Okay.

[Wieder chuckles] That's...

Therapy with dinner.

[clears throat] Cheers.

[glasses clink]

[grim music playing]

Richard.

Would you come with me?

I've got something I'd
like to show you. Hmm?

Okay. [chuckles softly]

[clears throat, sighs]

[footsteps depart]

[door opens]

Okay. [chuckles]
That's a lot of books.

I can offer you $500
a week to organize it.

To classify them electronically,

when you can, until you're done,

which, if I had to guess,
won't be anytime soon.

I... I mean, I don't really
know what to say. Uh...

Laura told me about what
happened to your father

and the situation
that you're in.

So you might want
to just say you'll do it.

Thank you.

[mysterious music playing]

[Richard] "Working for
Wieder was a dream.

New worlds opened up.

A curated collection of the
world's greatest thinkers.

For every two I'd catalog...

I'd find myself reading another.

Eventually, though, all
the time I spent at Wieder's

exposed me to something
I wasn't expecting."

- More books?
- Yeah.

The professor wants
me to donate them,

but there's some
good shit in here.

Say, uh, what's with the bats?

His dad's.

Collected them, I guess.

Signed too.

Willie McCovey. Al Kaline.

Ted Williams.

You wanna finish
this? I gotta work.

Yeah. Sure.

Thanks.

[Wieder and Laura laugh]

[dark, ominous music playing]

[laughs]

[gate hinges squeak]

[whispers indistinctly]

[Richard] "A laugh." Yeah.

"A hand grazing an arm."

[Laura speaks
indistinctly][Wieder laughs]

"One thing's clear."

[phone chimes]

[Laura] Hey, it's me.

I'm sorry, but I have to
bag on dinner tonight.

I'm stuck at the
office helping Joe,

but I'll, uh... I'll see
you when I get home.

[Richard] "Laura
Baines was more than

just Joseph Wieder's
research fellow."

[tense, unsettling
music playing]

[faint, passionate moaning]

[Laura laughs and whispers]

[Wieder laughs]

[Laura] I'm supposed
to be working.

[Wieder laughs]

[Laura] Don't you have a
research paper due tomorrow?

[Wieder] Yeah. [laughs]

[Laura] I have so many patient
notes to transcribe. [laughs]

[Laura continues indistinctly]

[Laura laughs]

[Laura] Stop!

[Laura sighs]

[Wieder] Oh, God.
Do you like that?

[Laura] You know I like that.

[Wieder exhales][Laura]
You know I do.

[Richard] "Despite
our time together,

I didn't know
Laura Baines at all."

[exhales]

[book drops]

"And when I found
that manuscript...

I realized I wasn't
the only one."

[Wieder] Are you hungry?

Oh, hey. I didn't
know you were home.

- What have you got there?
- I don't know.

I found it in, uh...

It was lodged in the back
there behind some books.

Oh. Huh.

Laura. So eager.

Oh.

Come on. Before lunch gets cold.

Do you like to cook, Richard?

I don't really know how.

[chuckles] Well,
you should learn.

Maybe you're good at it,
maybe you're not, hmm?

Experiment.

[softly] Mm-hm.

Laura likes a man who can cook.

How are things going
between you two?

We're just friends.

Oh, come on.

I got the impression
you were more than that.

Is that what she told you?

I don't need Laura to tell
me something to know it.

I can sense things.

I've known her
for some time now.

Right. I mean, I-I
would never presume...

But, Richard, she brought
you into my life to help,

not to complicate things.

And that's what
I'm here for, to help.

Well, good.

To that end, then,

I think... and these
are just my thoughts...

I think it would be better if
you stopped seeing each other.

Wait, what?

[tense music playing]

Nobody likes it when things

become overly complicated.

[wine glass clinks on counter]

I'm going out of town to meet
some people about my book.

I imagine when I get back

you will have sorted out
some new arrangement.

Bon appétit.

[Richard] "He'd crossed a line,

but I never sorted anything out.

She sorted it out for me."

Babe?[thunder rumbling]

You home?

[tosses keys]

Hey, uh...

I got you some stuff
from Bamboo House.

You know, those
dumplings you like.

Babe?

[Richard] "She was gone.

And then the next
day, it happened."

[police radio chatter]

"Professor Joseph
Wieder was found dead.

Beaten to death.

Some junkie
confessed to the crime."

[siren wails in distance]

"The Waterford College
community digested the tragedy

and I went on to become
a novelist of no repute,

toiling in obscurity."

[key clicks]

"And Laura Baines?

I later found out that a
week before the murder

she went to see Susan Avery,

Wieder's contact at the
Department of Defense,

claiming ownership
over Wieder's work."

No, it doesn't work like that.

The US Government
commissioned the study.

The grant is for
Professor Wieder.

But I wrote it!

Look, Ms. Baines,

I don't know what arrangement
you made with Dr. Wieder,

but I recommend you
take it up with the university

or directly with him.

Oh, come on! This is my work

and he just put his name on it!

- I'm sorry.
- Is that all you can say?

This is bullshit!

You can't just
get away with this!

[Richard] "After the
murder, she disappeared.

It was like she'd fallen right
off the face of the Earth."

[inhales, exhales deeply]

"Until the day I saw her again."

[Roy] "Until... I
saw her again."

Until you saw her again where?

Ah, you motherfucker!

[dark, ominous music playing]

[commentary plays on
TV][bar patrons chatter]

[Jimmy] You know what?
She's probably dead.

[Roy] Her social security
number is still active.

She's got no address,
no social media presence,

no place of business, nothing.

Just one old pic
from high school.

So what? She's a private person.

It's the same with
Wayne Devereaux,

Wieder's caretaker.

No phone number, no job history.

I did a reverse
address search, nothing.

It's like everyone from
Wieder's life at that time

is now a fucking ghost.

You know what?

You're making me feel like
I want to be a fucking ghost.

The only one I've been able
to track down is Finn's ex-wife.

I'm gonna go and talk to her.

And what the fuck's
she gonna say to you?

I don't know.

She might know something.

You know? Finn might
have been onto something.

That's a lot of somethings
and maybes and ifs and buts.

Look, man, if Isaac
Samuel is innocent

and we've put
away the wrong guy,

come on.

That's a chance for
us to make that right.

- The guy confessed!
- I know he confessed, okay?

He admits he was in the
house on that night. He says that.

But he also says before
he could do anything,

someone else
came in to the house.

Who?

Who came in, Roy?

I don't know.

Well, if you don't fucking know,

then I don't
fucking know either.

I'm gonna take a piss.

[patrons chatter][rock
music plays softly]

[spectators cheer on tv]

[TV commentator] And
he drops in another one!

This kid's on fire!

[soundscape distorts]

[dramatic music playing]

Hey!

What the fuck, man?

[dramatic music fades]

I'm sorry.

[rock music in bar continues]

[doctor] Hallucinations are
often a common byproduct

of the procedure.

But I've only ever
seen pictures of her.

Yeah, well, it indicates recall,

even if it wasn't really her.

Same with the snippets
of memory you've reported.

It means your neural pathways
are starting to reactivate.

So I'm not just going
completely crazy, then?

[chuckles] Far from it.

You're actually what
we'd call a good result.

Treatment's working.

[gentle, hopeful music playing]

[woman shouts][man]
Put that down!

[door slams nearby]

[TV plays inside apartment]

[knocks]

[door opens]

[Roy] Ms. Finn?

I'm sorry to disturb you. I...

You the cop?

Roy Freeman, yeah. I called.

Yeah, I'm actually,
you know, uh...

[clears throat] ...retired.

And so I'm not with
the police anymore.

Good. Never liked cops.

[tense, unsettling
music playing]

Doesn't make sense.

Richard was a lot of things...

paranoid, deluded,

real misanthrope.
[chuckles softly]

But he wasn't a druggie.

So you think his death
was an accident, maybe?

I bet that cunt,
Elizabeth Westlake,

had something to do with it.

I'm sorry. I-I don't
know who that is.

Yeah. Neither
did I until recently.

Crazy-ass bitch.

They had some big argument

a few weeks before
Richard moved out.

Elizabeth... Westlake?

Yeah.[Roy] Yeah. Okay.

[grim music playing]

Richard started drinking again.

And one night he comes
home screaming on the phone

all pissed.

Huh. No, no, no.

[door slams] No, no, no.

No, no, no, you
listen to me, okay?

Don't you fucking lie to me!

[Dana] He must have
thought I was asleep.

Okay, I-I know
what you did. Yeah.

And you're not
gonna get away with it.

You ever ask him what
the argument was about?

I tried not to talk to Richard
when he was like that.

Right.

[snores softly]

[Dana] So I waited
until he was asleep.

Next day, I called the number,

and got her voicemail.

What else do you know about her?

Know what she does? Do
you know how they connect?

- No.
- Nothing?

You just called her
a crazy-ass bitch.

Look, all I know is I
never heard him talk

to anybody like that before.

Not even me.

You ask me...

she killed him.

[dramatic music playing]

[mysterious music playing]

[dramatic music builds slowly]

Ms. Westlake.

Oh. Mr. Freeman.

[distorted soundscape]

Have we met?

I'm sorry. I have a condition.

I forget a lot of stuff.

Well, I'm sorry.

We met in passing
a long time ago.

And I'd read about your
accident in the newspaper.

Would you mind if
I asked you where?

- Where did we meet?
- I wish I could talk.

But I need to get to the office.

That's okay.

I actually just
wanted to talk to you

about Richard Finn.

[sighs]

Now, there's someone
I'd like to forget.

Why is that?

I guess you've
never been stalked,

made to feel like you always

need to be looking
over your shoulder.

Oh. Yeah, well, you know, uh...

he had it in his mind

that you had something to do
with Joseph Wieder's murder.

[sighs]

So you've spoken to him?

No, I haven't. Uh...

I tried to, but he passed away.

[dramatic music playing]

- I see.
- Yeah.

He left something
behind, though.

A memoir.

And I was wondering if
you'd like to have a look at it.

You could just tell
me what you think.

I've worked very hard to
forget that time in my life,

Professor Wieder's death,
and I'd rather not relive it.

Totally understand. Yeah.

You know, though, uh...

there is a man
who is on death row

for Joseph Wieder's murder

and his date's
coming up pretty soon.

So maybe you could
just, you know, take a look.

[tense music playing]

If I have a free moment.

Great. Thank you.
Thank you very much.

- Alright.
- Alright.

You have a great day.

You take care of
yourself, now, Roy.

[dark, ominous music playing]

[engine starts]

[music fades]

[sighs]

[dramatic music playing]

[heavy metal music continues]

[squelching thuds]

[loud thud] Mr. Devereaux?

[squelching thud]

Mr. Devereaux?

[thudding continues]

[music turns off]

[Wayne] It's been a while.

Took me a second
there to place you,

but my story's the
same as it was then.

I just never got to
tell it to you 'cause...

you already had your man.

Well, if it's okay with
you, I'd like to hear it now.

Yeah? Why is that?

I'm just going back
through things.

Making sure all the
right boxes got checked,

you know?

Okay.

Well...

Professor Wieder found me

when I was a shell of who I was.

He helped me get
back on my feet.

He got me a job
working maintenance.

I mean, I remember
it crystal clear, man.

He was like a celebrity.

Everyone loved him.

[woman speaks indistinctly]

[woman laughs]

[Wayne] He did
all sorts of work.

I don't know what exactly,

but there was
always people visiting.

Thank you so much.[laughs]

[Wayne] Important people.

People from the government,

Department of Defense.

He was running a trial for them

out of his department
at the college.

Trauma patients.

Testing a medication
he developed.

I guess I was a
perfect candidate.

[missile hisses through air]

I was first on the
ground in Iraq.

Saw my share of it
before taking a bullet.

I didn't know the real
damage till I got home.

Just couldn't get right.

Wieder found me at the VA,

said I fit his research profile.

What kind of research?

Wayne, what if I told you

that through medicine
and suggestion

you could replace the
memory of your trauma of Iraq

with better memories

or perhaps erase the memory
of your trauma altogether?

[eerie music playing]

Man, I'd say sign me up.

By activating opposite
sides of the brain,

we can release the
emotional experiences

trapped in our nervous system.

But before we make
that bad memory go away,

we have to fully confront it.

Breathe.

[gunfire][people shouting]

He said it was effective
for dealing with PTSD,

but that was only
part of the treatment.

Take one in the morning.

And one before bed.

[Wayne] The rest was that
medication he developed.

He said it could
wipe the slate clean.

[Roy] But you just
told me about Iraq.

Does that mean the
treatment didn't work?

Oh, it did for a time.

Details faded. No
more panic attacks.

But those pills, man, I mean...

[coughs]

they had some fucking
mean side effects.

[spits]

I didn't recognize
myself anymore.

I'd black out.

No idea where I
was, how I got there.

So you stopped
taking the medication?

Mm-hm.

Yeah, against the
professor's wishes.

Where's your car?

I came here by taxi. [chuckles]

You want a ride?

ASPCA in the city
buys my offcuts for dogs.

- You sure?
- Yeah, man. Seat's free.

[dramatic music playing]

[car door opens]

[Roy] Do you know
anything about Laura Baines?

Oh, man. I don't think anybody
ever really knew Laura Baines.

Her and Wieder
were a thing, yeah?

I don't know nothin' about that.

From what he said, she's just
a lab assistant, nothing more.

I mean, maybe she'd like to be.

But if they were,
I never saw it.

Not that I didn't see others.

I'd come over the house
every now and then,

to fix this and that.

[moaning]

[both moaning]

There were a lot of women.

He kept a record of them too.

What kind of record?

[Wayne] He had one of
those old-school camcorders.

[woman panting on video]

I guess he liked to
revisit his past exploits.

[Roy] Did Laura Baines
ever call him out on it?

[Wayne] No, man. Only time
I heard them exchange words

was over some research
paper they were writing.

But the night he was
killed, her and Finn,

they came over to the house

and there was some
kind of argument.

[Wieder] We need to
have a rational conversation

without all this accusation.

[Richard] You're fucking
lying![Laura] He's not lying!

- Oh! You wanna defend him now?
- I don't need defending.

What were they fighting about?

Fuck if I know, Finn
got real pissed off.

Know what? Fuck the both of you.

- You deserve each other.
- Are you fucking kidding me?

[Wayne] He left and
I went to go out front,

talk to him, maybe
see what's what.

But he was just... gone.

Or he never left.

[bird squawks]

[Roy] In Finn's statement,
he says he was home alone

at the time of the murder.

Well, I mean, I can
only tell you what I saw.

What about Laura?
You see her leave?

Yeah, later in a taxi.

So where'd you go?

My usual. Old Warren.

The bartender there, Diane,

even she was one
of the professor's girls.

He was a good man.

He lost his way, that's all.

It can happen to any one of us.

But it's like the Bible says.

"Do not judge lest
you too be judged."

Thanks for the lift.

[dramatic music playing]

[house door opens]

[door shuts]

[phone keypad clicks]

Yeah. It's me.

He's home.

[tense, ominous music playing]

[tense music playing]

[siren wails in distance]

Diane Lynch.

[sighs]

[mysterious music playing]

[suspenseful music builds]

[suspenseful music continues]

[knock at door]

A very, very interesting read.

Aren't you gonna invite me in?

[Roy] Can I get you a water?

Maybe some whiskey.

I, uh... I don't have
any in the house.

Doctors. [chuckles][chuckles]

I can't even remember
the last time I had a drink.

One of the few benefits of
your condition, I suppose.

You can't remember
the bad times.

Can't remember the
good times, either.

That's too bad.

[clock ticking]

Must be hard...

no memory of friends,
family, past experience.

No context for who you
are. Your place in the world.

I can't imagine
what that's like,

to feel so lost.

So alone.

So what did you
think of Finn's book?

It was...

a bunch of bullshit.

So, you two were,
uh... never lovers?

No. That was just
his little fantasy.

People make
things up all the time.

Lie to protect themselves.

Manufacture histories to
appear more than they are

'cause the reality
is too painful.

- I spoke with Wayne Devereaux.
- Hmm.

He seemed to confirm
a lot of what's in there.

Wow. Another reliable
witness. Makes sense, though.

Lots of vets who
suffer from trauma

turn to escapist
invention... video games,

pornography.

So, did he invent
the research study

Wieder was working on too?

No. Wayne was a
participant in that.

But if I remember correctly,

he didn't respond
favorably to the protocol.

He resented what it did to him.

He was prone to bouts
of anger, aggression.

You seem to know a
whole lot about him.

Well, I transcribed Wieder's
patient notes. All of them.

Sometimes you learn
things you'd prefer you didn't.

He said that Wieder
was intending

on publishing
his findings, so...

That's what you do.
You work for years

and then you
publish your findings.

But he died before
it was complete.

Do you feel he was giving
you the credit you deserved?

He died before we could
work that out as well.

[tense, suspenseful
music playing]

A drug that can help
people forget past trauma.

Seems to me someone could make

a whole lot of
money out of that.

Now you think someone
killed him for money.

You may not have
memory, Mr. Freeman,

but you do have
quite the imagination.

People kill for a whole
lot of different reasons.

I reached out to Susan Avery,

Wieder's DOD contact.

I know who Susan Avery is.

She collaborated with
Wieder for decades.

So then you also know

that she's taken over his
department at Waterford.

Hmm.

You know, this conversation
would have been a lot better

with whiskey.

You used to love
a good drink, Roy.

[suspenseful music playing]

[man 1 on TV] Now call the play.

I'll give you five seconds
to unbuckle your guns.

One.

Two.

Three.

[man 2] Enough
fun. Unbuckle them.

[man 1] Harry, Jackson,
get the hardware.

Doc!

Anybody else want
to try their luck?

[man 1] Get moving!

Come on, keep moving, all of ya!

Oh, fuck.

[phone line rings]

[operator] 911. What's
your emergency?

Yeah, uh, I wanna
report a shooting.

Mr. Freeman, I'm going
to read you your rights.

You have the right
to remain silent.

If you refuse this right,

anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the
right to an attorney.

If you cannot
afford an attorney,

one will be appointed
to you by the court.

[dramatic music playing]

[Roy] We all done?

Case closed.

Another one off the books.

[Roy] Let's go
celebrate. I'm buying.

Yeah. Let me catch you up.

I'll wait for you in the car.

[officer] If you cannot
afford an attorney,

one will be appointed
to you by the court.

Do you understand the
rights I just read to you, sir?

[bar patrons chatter]

You know, you're
one lucky sonofabitch.

Those security cameras caught
him trying to run you down.

There's gonna be
a lot of red tape,

but, uh, it'll prove
it's self-defense.

Thanks for coming down.

Yeah, course.

You'd have done exactly
the same thing for me.

CSI found two vials of fentanyl

in Devereaux's truck...

the same shit that killed Finn.

They're calling it a homicide.

What?

Devereaux killed Finn?

For what?

Stop him IDing him
for Wieder's murder?

Sure. Makes sense.

No. No, it doesn't
make fuckin' sense.

In his own goddamn book,

Finn is pointing 100%
to Elizabeth Westlake,

not to Devereaux.

Something's not right.

Yeah, something's not right.

Something's not
right with you, Roy.

Isaac Samuel committed this act.

Isaac Samuel confessed to it.

In one month,

there will be justice
and he will be dead.

And you can move on
and forget about all this.

Was I a good cop?

Were you a good cop? What?

What the fuck are
you talking about?

Was I good at my job?

Or was I a bad cop?
Was I a shit cop?

Was I a lazy sonofabitch

who just marked his
card and showed up?

Roy, you were one of the best.

You were a great cop.

My name's not on
any of the sign-offs.

What?

In the Wieder file.

My name is not on
any of the officials.

Not the incident report...

not the witness sheet,

forensic findings,
Samuel's confession.

None of it.

It's just your name...

on all of it.

[exhales] What are
you trying to say, Roy?

I've been going back
through 30 years of case files.

Thirty years.

Every one, every
document, every single one...

we co-signed.

My name right next to yours.

Except for this one.

Why is that?

[laughs mirthlessly]

I see what you're
doing here, Roy.

You've interviewed
everyone else.

Now you're gonna accuse me.

Jesus Christ, Roy,

you're some
fuckin' piece of work.

You come to my
house out of nowhere,

asking for my help,

and now you accuse me?

[gentle, mournful music playing]

Fuck you, Roy.

Fuck you.

[music fades][bar

Where is she?

She won't be coming
in for a while, Roy.

- Okay.
- Uh-huh.

I'm out.

Oh, don't take my car, Roy.

[singsong] Hey, I will
bring it back tomorrow.

[laughs]

What you did, I
will never forget.

[keys jangle]

Tomorrow.

[gasps]

[doorbell tinkles]

We're not open yet.[door closes]

Was there an old gray-haired guy

used to run this place?

Eric? Eric O'Toole?

Yeah, he's retired. Is there
anything I can help you with?

It's my pop's place now.

Yeah, I'm looking for a woman
who used to work here too.

- Her name's Diane.
- Oh, you mean Diane Lynch?

Yeah, right. Any idea
where I could find her?

Yeah, just over at
Calvary Catholic.

She died about five years ago.

Oh, you don't say?

Fuck. [chuckles]

[bartender] Was she
a friend or something?

Eh, she gave a deposition
in a case I was working on.

- I was just following up.
- So, you a cop?

Used to be.

Well...

On me.

My grandfather was a cop.

I just recently
remembered I actually, uh...

I like to do this.

Don't we all?

To Diane.

Hey. [clears throat] You
mind if I use your bathroom?

Just around the corner,
other side of the jukebox.

Thanks.

[eerie, distorted soundscape]

[jarring, discordant
music playing]

[pants]

[choral music
plays][flashbulbs whine]

[knocking][phone rings]

Hello? [Susan] Mr. Freeman?

It's Susan Avery
returning your call.

Blunt object to the
head.[camera flashes echo]

Um, Susan? From
Waterford College.

I have something for you.

[coughs]

You sure I can't get
you a glass of water?

No, no, I'm fine.

You said you had
something for me?

I don't know where
the original is.

Probably in storage at
the DOD, if I had to guess,

but that's the only copy
I had from my time there.

The Mirror Effect.

Wieder was quite
proud of this work.

He thought it would help people

who were suffering
with their trauma.

- It's award-worthy research.
- It was never published?

At least not under his name.

[splutters] I don't understand.

I gather you haven't
read her book.

She updated Wieder's
research with additional findings

she culled together
over the years

she was getting her doctorate.

So, she stole his work?

It happens all the time
in academic research.

Besides, who would protest?

- Wieder's dead.
- But you contracted it?

It's not as simple as that.

Before Wieder died,

Laura Baines came to
me with that manuscript.

Yeah, I heard she wasn't happy.

[Susan] She claimed
the work was hers.

Wieder wasn't giving her
the credit she deserved.

This is bullshit! He can't
just get away with this!

So, how did she publish it?

We'd been circulating it

in a number of the VA hospitals,

but the department's
priorities changed.

A few years later after
I started working here,

I found her book review.

So... why didn't
you go after her?

[Susan] There was
nothing to go after her for.

The project was shuttered.

[dramatic music playing]

Wieder used to live
around here, right?

Over on Chestnut. Apparently
the house is still empty.

[suspenseful music playing]

[flashbulbs whirring]

Blunt object to the head.

[sighs deeply]

[Jimmy] Any sign of it?

No. Couple of bats
in the garage, though.

[morose choral music playing]

[indistinct conversation]

One's missing, right?

Caretaker there said they were
all signed by Hall of Famers,

so probably worth
a lot of money.

You wanna go talk to him?

- I will. Come on.
- Sir.

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music continues]

[dull tap]

[exhales]

[suspenseful music continues]

[Elizabeth] What
you got there, Roy?

Never did find the murder weapon

from the Wieder case, did you?

You put this here?

[Jimmy] Put it back
in the hole, Roy.

[grim music playing]

Both of youse, get inside.

Why couldn't you
just listen to me?

You just couldn't
let it go, could you?!

What did you do, Jim?

What did I do?

I cleaned this fucking mess up.

Ten years ago. Don't
you remember any of this?

- What Diane did?
- Diane?

She told me what you knew.

Diane Lynch?

Get away from me!

[Elizabeth] From
your favorite bar.

She was one of
Wieder's patients.

Enough, Laura.

I told you I would
take care of this.

Oh.

[chuckles]

You know each other?

I see.

So, you're in this together?

[chuckles] Fuck
me.[Roy] No, I get it.

I get it, Jimmy.

Your wife got really sick.

You got deep in debt.

She comes along,
pays to you kill Wieder

so she can publish her book,

and you, you
railroad Isaac Samuel,

cover it all up.

No, no, no, no, no. I did
not pay him to kill Wieder.

We didn't meet until
after your accident.

My life was destroyed.

I was facing losing
years of clinical research.

The name "Laura Baines"

would always be associated
with what happened.

Then your partner showed
up, asking all kinds of questions.

I didn't know what he
wanted, but he wouldn't let up

and I was so scared.

Oh, fuck you, Laura!

[sighs] So, I... left.

I moved, changed
my name, started over,

completed the research
and published my book,

hoping I would
never see him again.

But then, a few years ago,

Richard Finn started
poking around.

She's an author.
Elizabeth Westlake.

But she changed it. It
used to be Laura Baines.

She must have taken
Wieder's work after he died.

You ask me, she's
the one who killed him.

[Elizabeth] Then somehow,
your partner found me

and he turned up
with his hand out,

and this time, it's for money.

All this, all this is just
fucking bullshit, Roy.

I'm not lying. He
blackmailed me.

He said he'd go public with
proof my book wasn't my work

unless I paid him.

So, you killed Richard Finn too

in case he got the same idea?

[Jimmy] I didn't kill anyone.

She killed Finn the same
way she killed Wieder.

Finn's writing a book
about the murder

and he thinks you killed Wieder.

You need to talk to him.

[Jimmy] With other
people's hands.

Okay.

I'm telling you, Laura,

you can fuck around
all you want, but I'm not...

[Jimmy] Devereaux was
already a trained killer.

With Finn out of the way,
she got him to come after you.

He's home.

Wait until he leaves
and then take care of it.

[tires screech][gunshots blast]

She's a manipulator, Roy.

She's manipulating
you right now.

She gets people to come
in and do her dirty work

and then she just skates away.

She has to be held accountable.

[gunshot][grunts]

[body thuds onto floor]

[tense, ominous music playing]

Hm, it's such a
funny thing, the mind,

the things it can live with

and the things
it just can't bear.

To get to die ignorant of both,

now that...

Oh, that is a
special kind of bliss.

[gunshot]

[body thuds onto floor]

[whimpers softly]

[grunts]

[Jimmy exhales]

[exhales]

[dramatic, morose music playing]

What I did...

I did for you.

[reporter on TV] Breaking
news in a decades-old murder

out at Waterford College

as fresh evidence
in the brutal killing

of psychology
professor Joseph Wieder

exonerates a man
incarcerated on death row.

[gates clanging][keys jangling]

29-year-old Isaac Samuel
was convicted of revenge killing

and was scheduled
to die by lethal injection

in just one month's time.

But information uncovered in
the wake of a double homicide

this past Tuesday at
Wieder's abandoned home

tells a different kind of story.

[doctor] Name three
objects in this room.

Chair, lamp... clock.

And three objects
not in this room.

Wine glass, newspaper, gun.

Today's date?

October 21st.

Your place of birth?

Larksville, Pennsylvania.

[doctor] Your mother's name?

Florence.

[doctor] Your father's name?

George.

[doctor] Your middle school?

South Side.

[dramatic music playing]

Very good.

It seems the treatment's
been very effective.

It must be gratifying to
be able to remember again.

Yeah.

[reporter on TV]
The former detective

who investigated the
case ten years ago,

Roy Freeman,

was instrumental in bringing
the responsible parties

to justice.

He uncovered a twisted
murder-for-hire plot

with roots in the
Washington County Police

and the Waterford
academic community.

Mr. Freeman, a highly
decorated detective,

left the police force
some years ago

following a car accident...

[Laura] Professor Wieder
is a doctor. He took an oath.

Keep them from
harm and injustice.

Uh-huh. Well, she
took an oath too.

We both did.

To have and to hold, in
sickness and in health.

She came to see
him six months ago

about some, uh,
unresolved trauma.

You know, I just
don't believe you.

Her alcoholic father, she was...

She was concerned she
was repeating patterns

in your marriage.

She was vulnerable and
he just took advantage.

I'm sorry to have to be
the one to tell you this.

Well, why are you?
Huh? Just for the fuck of it?

You want me to believe you're
some kind of good Samaritan

who just thought I should know
my wife is fucking her shrink?

Is that it?

[dramatic music playing]

In case you want proof.

And what's on that?

Your wife.
