Speaker 1 (00:06):
Solve Presents Amnesia, Part three. Okay, it's okay. Deep breaths,
come on, deep breath in, deep breath out. I'm sorry, Cass.
Maybe that was too much, too soon. I can't be right,
(00:29):
can it? I killed the reporter? No? No way, No,
you must not be remembering correctly. Everything's all scrambled up there,
the poor thing? You still like tea? I suppose I'll
put on a pot. Thanks, Alice. That hypnosis gave me
(00:55):
a headache. Yeah, I can do that. Do you have
any aspirin? Yeah? I think there's some in that side table.
What the hell? What are you doing with a gun? Alice? Wow?
(01:17):
What your vibrations are so high? That's good, that's very good.
You're a natural, Alice. I look at you, and do
you know what I see? No? What a star. If
you use our system to harness this power, there is
(01:39):
nothing you can't accomplish. That sounds really cool. What do
I have to do? Well, we know how high you
can vibrate, but now we need to know how low
you can go, what your floor is. It's how we
established the baseline. Okay, how do we do at recall
(02:01):
a low moment in your life? Oh? How could I
even pick. You have difficult memories, embarrassing ones, humiliating, actually
things that I never told anyone before. It's okay, Ellis,
you're safe here. I am a doctor, so there are
(02:25):
confidentiality rules. Now, what did you do? Ellis? What the
fuck you know? I think that hypnosis not something loose.
(02:45):
Things are starting to come back to me. Well that's great,
like what when to usc apparently, because that's good to know?
Like this, this feels familiar. We were roommates in college.
That's right. Wow, yeah, yeah, we we used to stay
up all night talking in the kitchen. Imagine how much
(03:07):
better our grades would have been at Berkeley if we
actually got some sleep. You were always so smart, chast
I don't think it affected you at all. A t Alice,
how did you know how to get to the commune?
I saw on my way out of there. It's pretty
well hidden unless you know where you're going. I I,
(03:29):
who are you? Alice? WHOA put the gun down? You're
with them with the institute. Okay, listen, I was with
the institute. You. I recruited you. I remember I never
met you before that. You told me I pay you
for the system for all these conferences, and I'd have
more money than I ever dreamed of. All I had
(03:52):
to do was get five friends to join. You just
kept up selling me, telling me I had to buy
into the next level of the system to learn how
to vibrate at higher frequencies. Five friends became ten. I
couldn't keep up. I lost everything, And when I couldn't
(04:12):
afford to go to conferences anymore, you called me weak,
problematic individual. You couldn't report us. We had your money
and your secrets. You were helpless until did that reporter
reach out to you. He somehow got my name. He
knew about the recordings, so you killed him to stop
(04:33):
your secrets from getting out. I wasn't even there. You're
still lying. Why else would you go looking for me? Huh?
Why do you have this gun to protect myself in
case Beckett's guys came here, which they did. They asked
me if i'd seen you, asked about the recordings, and
then I saw your face on the news and they
(04:53):
said you might be experiencing memory loss. I thought I
could get you to give the recordings to me. Now, No,
you were there. You were the one who came up
behind me in the garage. You shot the reporter, not me, Cassandra,
you're the one with the gun in your hand. Hello, Miles, Hey, hey,
(05:32):
and you were giving me shit about locking up. I'm
not staying. I just came to tell you I'm alive,
and now I'm leaving. Where are you going? Does it matter?
Anywhere I go? I take myself with me, And the
more I learned about myself, the more I sound like
a ship travel companion. What did Alice say? A lot
of things? Impossible to know how much of it was true.
(05:52):
She was lying to me, pretending to be my friend.
But I don't have any real friends. Everyone could be
lying to me for all I know, even you. Maybe
you're not who you say you are. Your mother didn't
have Alzheimer's. You were just saying how I was the
only person you can trust. I can't trust anyone, not
even myself, Miles. I killed that reporter. I shot him.
(06:17):
It was me. No, you didn't, Rainbow. She came looking
for you. Guess you get a friend after all. On
the house. Thanks, Rainbow. I need your help. I need
(06:39):
your help remembering. Okay, I know you were in that
cult with me. I know you know what happened that night.
You said not to say anything. Listen, I am not
working for Beckett. I am asking you to trust me.
What is this flash drive? It's Pendora's box. Miles, got
(07:06):
a computer, got my laptop right here. There are tons
of folders here, People's names, it looks like audiophiles inside.
Oh these are the recordings? Rainbow. Did I give this
to you before you went to meet Daniel at the garage? Daniel,
that's the reporter you said lots of powerful people are
(07:28):
on there, that they kill fort and that I shouldn't
give it to anyone but Daniel, not even you. Oh
but now he's dead and you're here, and I don't
know if I'm doing the right thing. No, Rainbow, Rainbow,
stop hitting yourself. You're doing the right thing here, Okay,
I promise Miles, you realize what this means. I wasn't
(07:49):
there to kill Daniel. I was working with him. I
was the one who was going to expose Beckett, and
I was going to use that drive to do it.
So anyone whose name was that drive would have a
reason to stop you. How many confessions you get on there? Thousands?
Hey wait a minute here here, I am Cassandral Loomis
(08:15):
three years ago. Are you sure you want to listen
to that? I've been trying to figure out who I am.
So far the only thing people can tell me about
myself is that I was one of Beckett's followers. I
want to know who I was before I joined. Recall
a low moment in your life, one a little bit negative,
(08:39):
and well that's easy. Six months ago, I was in
a car accident. Yes, keep going. I was driving, my
sister was in the passenger seat, and it was a
(09:00):
drunk driver crossed three lanes to hit us. The car rolled.
Was everyone okay? Drunk driver walked away without a scratch. Um.
I had a concussion lacerations from the broken glass. But
(09:22):
my sister, sheia, she died, And I don't know. Maybe
had I seen the car earlier or swerved in a
different direction than maybe loss. It's difficult. Grief is difficult.
(09:43):
It is low frequency vibration in its purest form. What
would your sister want for you? Would she want you
to be successful, for all of your dreams to come true? Yeah? Yeah,
I think so. Then you've come to the right place.
(10:13):
Was that true? Yep, my sister Amy, I remember praying
on people at the lowest moments. That's what these people do.
I stayed under his spell for three years. I've got
to take some responsibility for that. But what changed for
(10:34):
me Ramo, my sister and I lived on the compound.
My sister Britt it was nice not to have to
worry about anything other than just feeling good. But one
day back it gave her some really bad ship. I
don't know where he got it, and uh, that's what
(10:55):
it was. I knew what it was like to lose
a sister. Oh fuck, I remember after that. It was
like waking up from a really long nightmare. I got
Rainbow out of there. I downloaded the files off back
it's computer. God, it's all coming back to me. Can
you remember what happened a few nights ago in the garage? Okay, yeah, yeah,
(11:18):
let me think I remember. I remember walking down the garage. Hey,
what's wrong? I think I might have been followed someone
from the institute. Yeah, I think Beckett knows, which means
I've been deemed a problematic individual, which means I could
(11:38):
be dead soon. Then let's go to the police that
it has followers on the force. If you publish this article,
nobody will be able to stop it. Not even the police. Okay, fine,
but look, I'm going to email you a contact of
mine at the FBI. There's no way that he's a follower.
He's helped some of my sources get into witness protection. Thanks.
But I planned to disappear after this anyway. All right,
(12:00):
that's your choice. Do you have the drive? It's someplace safe.
I want some assurances first. Then there was a noise
behind me. Someone was there listening the whole time. Who
was it? Is your laptop hooked up to WiFi? Yeah,
because I just remembered my email password. This, Detective Knox
(12:27):
is going to be much longer. Hey, get over here.
After I lost you at the conference center, I thought
you'd be in Mexico by now. Not yet. Are you
here to turn yourself in? Not exactly. Listen that Beckett Institute,
it's this huge pyramid scheme and cult, screwing people out
of their savings, trafficking drugs. What does that have to
(12:47):
do with you. I was a member. I tried bringing
them down once before, and I'm going to do it again.
I was given a contact at the FBI. Woo, FBI. Look,
this is a homicide investigation. If you shall anything that
proves criminal activity in this cult, I'll be the one
to move it up the proper channels. Come on, I
got a book here, I've got your proof right here,
(13:08):
flash drive. What's on that secret recordings? Proof of Beckett's
blackmail scheme? Your victim, the reporter he was after this?
Beckett made sure he didn't get it. Let me see it,
all right, I'll get this in the right hands. But
unless there's anything on here that exonerates you, I'm not
sure there's anything else I can do for you. I
(13:30):
have an idea how we can use that drive to
get a confession out of the real killer. I made copies.
I'm going to tell Beckett that if he doesn't admit
to being behind the murder, the real story behind the
institute will go out to every newspaper in the country.
I need you to take me there. And why would
I do that to witness the confession. You're plain clothes,
who won't know who you are. I don't know if
(13:52):
this is such a good idea. Look, you want to
catch the killer, don't you. I'll show you who it is. Sandra,
you've come home and who might this be? A friend? Well?
Thank you so much for returning our Cassandra, I'm not
(14:15):
back back it. I'm here to tell you that I
know you're behind the reporter's murder. Take your pad. I'm sorry,
Cassandra here, I sustained a bit of a head injury
and is confused. She's not the only one. You wanted
him dead because you knew I was going to him
with a story, and then I was going to give
him this flash drive, all of your secret recordings. Make
(14:37):
sure that anyone deemed a problematic individual doesn't do what
I did. Try to expose you. So your memory is returning.
It may not be all the way back, but I
remember enough, and I remember what happened that night. Cassandra.
(15:07):
I'm not sure what you're accusing me off, but I
can swear to you I didn't kill anyone. Oh, I
know you didn't, But you gave the order to whom
detective knocks. What are you doing? Didn't we agree? I'm undercover. No,
I'm saying you did it? What, sir? I'm sorry for
(15:28):
wasting your time. Come on, let's go. I didn't recognize you,
you know. It wasn't until I remembered my conversation with
Daniel in the garage then let's go to the police.
Beck it has followers on the force. And then there
was that sound behind me. As soon as I heard it,
I knew who it was. All right, that's your choice.
(15:49):
Do you have the drive it's someplace safe. I want
some assurances first, it was your car, your siren knocks.
Don't hurt This is all on me. I'm not going
to hurt anyone here. You can even have my gun
if it'll make you feel safer. I'm not touching that.
Come on, it's easy. You just take it into your
(16:11):
hand like so and pointed at your target. We don't
to me what a situation we have here. This man's
been shot in your finger. Cunts are all over the gun.
I have my service weapon right here, so that must
be yours. You can't do this, he calmed down. I
(16:33):
can make all this go awing. Just give me the
recordings and come back with me to the compound. Back.
It is very forgiving. Yeah, don't make this any works.
Yeah stop stop ship. Yes, yeah, you got messy. Did
(16:57):
you give you the recordings? She didn't have monor listen.
I just kind of sent her head into her parking column. Here,
she's out cold, bleeding, pretty bad, I say we leave her.
I can make this work, no padiot. As long as
she has her recordings, she must live. Get her to
a hospital at once, and make sure you're there when
(17:17):
she wakes up. We have to find out where she's
hid in them as soon as possible. So detected Knox.
Given Cassandra's recollection of events, and given we now had
the drive, why haven't you disposed of her? She says
(17:39):
she has copies and that she send them out to
the media if you don't confess, Is that your plan, Cassandra?
After all I've done for you? You mean, after all
you've taken from me? Fine, I asked Knox to quash
the story by any means necessary. But Cassandra, I never
(18:00):
asked for you to be hurt. I wanted to bring
you home unharmed. You shouldn't have fought with me. So
now that's our cards on the table. How about yours?
Where are the copies? Oh, there aren't any copies? What
there's only one? And what you're holding in your hand
isn't even it. That's just a spare drive. My friend
(18:21):
Miles head lying around, but he's knocks. I'll get yours. No,
it's the Fed. How did the check her? But she's
wearing a wire. You're the one who taught me how
to record people without their permission? Backett, what is the
point of wars redemption? This doesn't erase your role in
(18:47):
the institute. None of this changes what you've done. You're right,
I don't Table three. Wasn't sure i'd ever see you
in here again. Yeah, it's been a crazy few weeks.
(19:09):
I've been following it on the news. Does this mean
you've got your memory back? Still piecing it together? It
comes in flashes. The neurologists they set me up with,
says it will take a while. Where does this leave you?
With the law clear of the murder, not of my
role in recruiting for a pyramid scheme? What does that
mean jail time? Well as a cooperating witness. They're willing
(19:31):
to drop the felony charges, probably looking at probation. Well
that's the best case scenario, right, So what are you
gonna do now? Amnesia or not? I spent the past
three years isolated from the real world. Pretty much have
to start over. I don't suppose you could use an
extra pair of hands around here. I don't know, Rainbow
(19:58):
what do you think should be irakasan drum? Fine? Just
you can't wash the dishes. That's my job, Rainbow? When
did this happen? When I realized you can clean an
entire night's worth of dishes in ten minutes. Girls got
unlimited reserves of energy. I could use some help out
here on the floor. What do you think about a
(20:18):
serving Jop? I think if I'm going to work here,
I should probably try the food first. I am starving.
You've got it. Here's a menu. What do you like?
M hmm, that's a very good question. Cassandra Loomis was
