Ultimate Lie To Me Fansite
Episode 12 - Blinded
Ten years ago, a woman had a chance meeting with a man who suggested they get coffee. Next thing we see is her running, blindfolded, screaming for help. Turns out he was serial rapist Andrew Jenkins, who blinded his victims, and is now in prison.
Today, Andrew's apparently spawned a copycat, so Cal enters prison -- disguised as an inmate -- to see if there's actually a connection. Gillian, Ria, and FBI agent Ben Reynolds watch a closed-circuit feed of Cal picking a fight -- and taking a beating, which Andrew ignores.
Gillian explains that Andrew is a pathological liar, so direct interrogation would be useless. Later, Andrew offers to help Cal with his laundry duties.
When Cal tells Andrew that he's heard about his copycat, Andrew's chest swells with pride. Cal -- claiming to be a cop-killer -- says Andrew just can't finish the job. Andrew explains his victims live the rest of their lives in fear, which is far more satisfying.
After explaining the victims were blinded to prevent his identification, Andrew pins Cal as a fraud. Cal confesses, then offers him a bribe in return for information. Andrew wants a weekly box of Chocodiles, and gives Cal an address -- where another woman, Camille Halperin, has just been abducted. Usually they're held 24 hours, forced to watch videos of previous victims, then blinded, raped, and released.
Guards bring Andrew to the Lightman office, where he lies effortlessly. Eli, monitoring Andrew's physical reactions, gets nothing. Ria shows Andrew some "fan mail" -- he receives weekly drawings of his crimes -- which she thinks is pointless. Cal disagrees.
Eventually, Andrew starts slipping some truth into his answers: Lightman's name is amusing because Andrew's been called "Lightbringer" -- another term for the Devil. (Cal explains this is because Andrew's getting bored.) Noting that a fan letter from admirer Milo Dodds actually refers to Andrew as "Lightbringer," Cal and Ben pay Milo a visit.
When Cal starts talking about blood, Milo gets woozy, saying Camille's in the other room -- which looks like a shrine to Andrew -- but it's only her picture. Furious, Ben attacks Milo, drawing blood, and he turns to jelly. Cal explains Milo's afraid of blood, but this isn't a dead end.
Meanwhile, Gillian interviews Natalie Wright, the only copycat victim willing to talk, but she remembers nothing. Gillian suggests that talking with one of Andrew's original victims, Michelle Russell -- who testified at his parole hearing -- might help her remember.
Re-watching tapes of Cal in prison, Ria accuses Cal of concentrating too hard on folding clothes -- an obvious giveaway. But Cal notices one of the guards' flaring nostrils and quick intake of breath indicates fear.
Ben and Cal question the guard, who explains that -- afraid his daughters would be victimized -- he placed messages from Andrew in a park, most recently a few hours ago.
When Michelle and her husband, Paul, meet Natalie, she remembers being unable to hear any sounds during her captivity. As Gillian leaves Natalie's home, she's attacked. Cal and the police interrupt, but her assailant escapes.
Cal tells Gillian the guard must've overheard their conversation and knew her location. Ria wants Michelle to confront Andrew, but Cal refuses. Ria does it anyway.
Cal bursts in, orders the women out, and screams at Ria. Andrew says Cal's angry because Ria showed him up. Cal overturns a table and stalks out.
Ria tells Cal that Camille's dead. Cal re-enters the interrogation room and compares his protégé with Andrew's, noting Andrew's protege has surpassed his mentor -- because he finished the job. Cal produces a photo of the dead Camille.
But the photo's a fake. Gillian explains that Cal set it up beforehand. He also let Andrew play him to bolster Andrew's confidence and lower his defenses. And Ria's role was part of that. It was a "long con," says Gillian. "One of his favorites."
"Too bad," says Andrew. "It would've been four years." That coincides with Andrew's parole hearing, which fanboy Milo videotaped. Watching the tape, they discover Paul tried to attack Andrew. But his anger was false and afterward his face shows nothing but adulation. He's a fan.
Gillian heads to Michelle's. Paul's out, checking his empty real estate listings. But Paul's real name is Leo Carty -- he used to write Andrew fan letters under that name -- and only married Michelle to be closer to Andrew and his crimes. Prodding her to remember what happened wasn't done to help her, but for his pleasure.
Ben scans the empty listings for a house with basement (no sound), a drive-in garage and a busy neighborhood, where fewer people would notice. One matches. Agents race to the address, find Camille tied up the basement and capture Paul.
Back at the office, Ria accuses Cal of using her. Cal explains when he first asked Andrew about the copycat, he showed pride and resentment. "So how long before we break up for real?" asks Ria. "Eons," replies Cal. "You've got loads to learn."
Then Cal tells Ben he's been offered an FBI retainer. He wants the money and federal resources, including Ben, because he could use a man with a gun around full time. Ben doesn't want the job, but the decision's been made. "I work for the FBI, not you," protests Ben. "You actually believe that?" asks Cal. "Welcome to the Lightman Group."
