Major Crimes

Hello, Dr. Bowman. It's good to see you again.

* Major Crimes * Season 05 Episode 11 "White Lies Part 1"

I've been waiting to ask you stuff all week.

That's why I'm here, Dwight...

To answer your questions.

We've turned the tables a little, haven't we?

I wonder if I'm about to learn

as much about your life as you did about mine.

Your honor, I object.

The defendant cannot treat the witness

as if he were at an appointment with his therapist.

Yes.

Mr. Darnell?

Dr. Bowman is present

to speak in his capacity as a psychologist.

More specifically, to render his analysis of my mental... - Objection sustained.

Mr. Darnell, since you insist as acting as your own attorney,

I continue to give you leeway,

but once again, I urge you to consult

with your court-appointed attorney for advice.

He's right there.

If he gives the game away here,

maybe he'll be arrogant enough to answer some questions

about his Nazi friends when court adjourns.

Tell us who his Aryan shot-caller is.

During their investigation, the Pasadena police...

They asked for Dr. Bowman's services

in order that "through analyzing the methodology

and potential motives of these homicides

to locate and/or identify a suspect."

Is this an accurate description

of the job that you were asked to perform, Dr. Bowman?

In brief, yes. - Huh.

So, before we met at the behest of detectives,

you had compiled an imaginary portrait

of my... my... My upbringing?

My character?

I speculated on your personality.

By lumping me in with a lot of other people?

Not a lot of other people, Dwight.

A lot of other murderers.

It is my understanding that the word "murder" or "homicide"

is reserved for the unlawful killing

of other human beings.

My so-called victims were either involved with

or already were part of an inferior race,

and therefore, it is my defense... - Objection!

The 6 adults and 2 children under 10

shot to death by the defendant

were human in every sense of the word - Sustained.

Claiming your victims were unworthy of life

because they were minorities is not a defense, Mr. Darnell.

Make your point, if you have one.

I do.

Dr. Bowman, am I correct in stating

that on July 16th of last year,

you predicted that I would be

at one of 12 addresses in Pasadena

using this gun to execute a married couple

who was intent on diluting the purity of the white race?

We narrowed down the date and some potential targets

in such a way to affect your arrest if that's...

So, I stand here today on trial for my life,

partly because you took my individual nature

and reduced it to a pattern?

You shrunk it down to fit a generic profile?

That's one way of looking at it.

What other possible way could I look at it, doctor?

Well, one might also say that in the final analysis,

you just weren't very original.

Well, doctor, since I'm so obvious,

maybe you could offer the court

an illustration of your predictive powers.

For example, could you reveal

to the ladies and gentlemen of the jury

what I'm about to do in, say, the next 10 seconds?

Get down! Get down!

Get down, get down! Get down, get down!

Move, move!

Stay with me, chief, stay with me.

Excuse us.

Excuse us. Lieutenant provenza,

how many people were shot in the courtroom?

Can you confirm the death of Dwight Darnell?

Can you tell us why the courthouse has been blocked off?

Are there more threats?

Why is the LAPD investigating the shooting

instead of the sheriff's office?

'Cause the sheriff's office has conflicts in this case.

What conflicts? - They're called bullets. Excuse me.

So, is this an ethical or a criminal investigation?

Yes.

All right. To begin with,

I can keep the jurors sequestered and give you their identities.

That might help.

We'll also need a list of all the clerks and deputies

who had access to the evidence,

because what happened here today just wasn't a mass shooting.

It had to be a conspiracy.

Dwight probably won't live, but we'll see.

What about Dr. Joe?

It's 50/50.

I'm...

I am very sorry about chief Taylor.

He was a cop's cop.

Never more than today.

And DDA Rosen, too.

God, I don't believe it.

I'm gonna get your prelim started

so you don't have to come to the morgue, okay?

- Yes. - Your honor?

Any idea how that gun could have been loaded?

No, the disabling wire is checked always

before it comes into court by both the DDA and the deputy.

The wire was clipped.

All Dwight had to do was pull it out,

which he could have done through the bag.

That's what I looked like from where I was sitting.

Maybe deputy Simms and Rosen

just did a visual check of the wire, sir.

Wouldn't be unusual.

It's hard to believe they had anything to do

with the conspiracy since they both ended up dead.

Hey, Sharon?

Would you like to wait in the judge's chambers?

I'm sure his honor wouldn't mind?

No, I'm good, Andy.

I should stay with the scene of my action.

Oh, uh, Sharon, the spectators

and the reporters that were present?

Should I continue to have the deputies hold them, too,

or... Or let them go?

Uh, captain, I can't believe I'm about to say this.

Uh, but according to the rules...

Uh, written by you... - I know.

I used my firearm, so I have to wait

until force investigation interviews me

before I can actively continue with this case.

Yes, but that doesn't mean

that we can't talk about it in front of you

or you ask questions if you want.

We will see the jurors and the people from the gallery

in just a few minutes, your honor.

I'll let them know, lieutenant. - Thank you.

Before we go on, this is a lousy day.

I'm feeling pretty upset myself.

So, if anyone needs a break

before we start figuring out who put this conspiracy together,

it would be completely understood.

Good.

Mike?

No prints on the clip or the remaining bullet.

- Amy? - After the shooting started,

deputy Simms tried to activate Dwight's stun belt,

but the controls are jammed.

That's why Simms was too late drawing his side arm.

He tried to shock Dwight first.

Well, if Dwight's plan

was to kill as many people as possible,

he should have shot the deputy first.

Unless Dwight knew the stun belt was disabled.

How would he have known that, though?

That's a good question.

Here's a few more.

Who loaded and enabled the gun?

How did Dwight know the gun was loaded?

And why did he shoot Joe Bowman first?

Just a question.

Well, was Dr. Joe the primary target?

It looks that way to me,

and do you think, for the time being,

that we should let the conspirators, whoever they are,

think that Dwight succeeded and that Dr. Joe is dead?

I could help with that.

- Captain? - Oh.

Lieutenant camacho.

This is the, uh, weapon I fired.

I'll be just a second.

Did I mention, in addition to profiling Dwight,

Dr. Joe also evaluated his capacity to stand trial

and to act as his own attorney?

I am going to speak with FID.

Thank you.

I'm coming.

So, there is a record of Dr. Joe and Dwight's conversations.

Covered by privilege.

Well, as long as Dwight is alive.

Doctor, you're our resident expert on the subject,

so as regards to Dr. Joe?

I could report his death to the media,

but you should have deputy chief Howard

contact his next of kin and warn them beforehand.

These will do as prelims.

I'll call you if any of this changes.

Thank you.

Mike, why don't you look around,

for who had access to Dwight Darnell's weapon?

There may be a standout.

I'll see if I can find someone
