Justin: Have you charged that asshole with trying to kill me?
Wedmore: You talking about Kirk?
Justin: Yeah.
Wedmore: Kirk Nicholson’s dead, Justin.
Justin: Dead?
Wedmore: Yup.
Justin: Well, shit. That must have happened when the shelf fell on him? And those wheels fell off? Is that what happened?
Wedmore: Why did you go to Keisha Ceylon’s house?
Justin: I, uh, I wanted to thank her again for finding me before I did anything to hurt myself. I got depressed a couple of weeks back, was in a pretty dark place, and my parents hired her to use her, you know, senses, to find me.
Wedmore: I know that’s not true, Justin. Why did you really go there?
Justin: Huh? No, that’s true.
Wedmore: So you came by just to say thanks, and that led to a big fight? That ended up with one man dead?
Justin: It’s all kind of a blur.
Wedmore: You sure you didn’t come by to boast?
Justin: Boast?
Wedmore: That you’d beaten Keisha at her own game?
Justin: I don’t-what?
Wedmore: Keisha decided to come clean.
Justin: Come clean? What? She confessed?
Wedmore: She told us a few things.
Justin: She told you she killed that Garfield guy?
Wedmore: No, she didn’t confess to that, Justin.
Justin: Well what the hell else would she confess to? She killed that guy.
Wedmore: We can get back to that in a moment. No, what Keisha confessed to was the trick you played on your mother and stepfather.
Justin: I don’t… I don’t know what you mean.
Wedmore: Keisha says you approached her with an idea about how you could take them for five thousand dollars.
Justin: She told you about that?
Wedmore: Where’d you get the idea?
Justin: I don’t know what you’re talking about. Like I said, I was depressed, I ran away from home for a while. My parents hired that woman to find me. She had this vision of me in an empty office my mom used to rent out to some plastic surgery place.
Wedmore: Where’d you go to school, Justin?
Justin: School?
Wedmore: Did you ever have a teacher named Terry Archer?
Justin: Mr. Archer? Yeah, I had an English teacher named Mr. Archer.
Wedmore: I just got off the phone with him. He remembers you.
Justin: He does?
Wedmore: Yeah. He says he remembers a class where he got talking about that horrible thing that happened to him and his wife. He says you were in that class, that you had lots of questions.
Justin: I remember something about that. His wife’s family disappeared or something.
Wedmore: Very good. You remember. And I guess you remember the part where Mr. Archer told his students about a psychic who said she’d tell them what happened to the family for a thousand dollars?
Justin: I didn’t always pay attention in school.
Wedmore: Mr. Archer says you actually asked him, after class, for the name of the psychic.
Justin: I suppose that’s possible, but I don’t remember.
Wedmore: Didn’t you tell your stepfather, Mr. Taggart, about her? I understand your father has an interest in that sort of thing.
Justin: I don’t know where you’re going with this.
Wedmore: When Keisha Ceylon led your parents to you, it wasn’t the first time you’d met her, was it?
Justin: Uh…
Wedmore: You knew what she did, the kind of scams she ran, and you came up with an idea to get five thousand dollars from your parents. After some persuading, Ms. Ceylon went along with it.
Justin: Look, my mom, my stepdad, they’ve got tons of money, and anything I might have done where they’re concerned, that’s our business. It’s not like the public got ripped off or anything. Keisha-she really told you about all this?
Wedmore: She said you’re an admirer of her work. A fan. That she inspired you. That after you ran this game on your parents, you wanted to do more work with her, but she said no. Does that sound about right?
Justin: I wouldn’t say that.
Wedmore: What part do I have wrong? Straighten me out here.
Justin: I don’t know. I just… none of that rings a bell.
Wedmore: No? You saying you didn’t go to Mr. Garfield’s house and offer to provide the same kind of service Keisha did?
Justin: Shit, no. Don’t you see what she’s doing? She’s confessed to this other thing, with my mom and her husband and me, because she figures-because it’ll make her look almost honest. You know? She’s willing to admit all that, so you’ll believe her when she says she didn’t do the really big thing, killing that guy.
Wedmore: You didn’t drop by her house and tell her you were the new fake psychic in town? That you got a thousand bucks out of Mr. Garfield before she did? And that made her boyfriend so angry, you cutting in on his girlfriend’s territory, that he attacked you? That there was a fight, and you knocked that bookshelf over on him?
Justin: Okay, that’s totally not-there was a fight, yeah, but not the way you’re laying it out.
Wedmore: You didn’t threaten her son if she gave you a hard time about it?
Justin: Threaten her-what?
Wedmore: Is that why there’s a picture of him on your phone? That you emailed to her. So she’d know you were watching him, and not turn you in?
Justin: This is totally-the kid asked me to take his picture.
Wedmore: I’ve got a couple of things in this box here I want to show you. Hang on… here we go. You ever seen this money before, Justin?
Justin: Where’s that from?
Wedmore: I’m asking, have you ever seen it.
Justin: It’s money. Money’s money. It all looks the same.
Wedmore: You notice the blood on the edge of some of the bills there?
Justin: Uh, yeah, I can see that. So?
Wedmore: We’ve saved out a couple of the bills and are having them tested, but we think that’s going to turn out to be Wendell Garfield’s blood.
Justin: Oh.
Wedmore: You know where we found this money, Justin?
Justin: I don’t know. If it’s Garfield’s blood, I guess you found that money on Keisha.
Wedmore: We found this money in your jacket, Justin.
Justin: Huh?
Wedmore: How do you think this money got into your jacket?
Justin: Seriously? She put it there. She must have. When I was out cold.
Wedmore: Yeah, I suppose that could have happened. I see your point. You were out for about ten minutes, the doctor said.
Justin: Yeah, well. There you go.
Wedmore: Do me a favor, Justin?
Justin: What?
Wedmore: Would you write your name on this piece of paper here?
Justin: What for?
Wedmore: Just humor me.
Justin: You going to tape it onto the end of some fake confession?
Wedmore: No, we’re not going to do that. Let me see if this pen has any ink… yeah, this one’ll do. Here you go.
Justin: You just want me to write my name?
Wedmore: First and last.
Justin: I don’t get this.
Wedmore: Justin…
Justin: Fine, fuck it. There you go. Three times.
Wedmore: Thank you. Is that the way you usually sign your name?
Justin: Yeah.
Wedmore: Hmm.
Justin: What?
Wedmore: Just asking. I have something else here I’d like to show you.
Justin: What?
Wedmore: I’ve got it in another evidence bag, although we found it tucked in with the cash. Okay, here it is. You recognize this, Justin?
Justin: What the… it’s a check.
Wedmore: That’s right. You see whose account this check is drawn on?
Justin: Garfield. Wendell Garfield.
Wedmore: For five hundred and eighty dollars.
Justin: Yeah.
Wedmore: And you see there’s also some blood on the edge of the check. We’ll have to do a test to see whose blood it is, but like with the money, we have a pretty good idea.
Justin: Okay.
