It's hard to pull a weapon on someone, right? Squeeze that trigger?
I'm sorry. If you're a reporter, I got nothing to say.
You know what else is hard? Sharing a squad car with somebody every day and stabbing him in the back when he had yours.
Who are you?
I'm Lindsay Messer.
I can't talk to you.
No, it can't be easy actually facing me.
No, I'm telling you that we can't speak.
I mean, you know what you're doing affects my family, but it's much easier when we're out of sight.
I'm not supposed to have any interaction...
Like saying you're in a relationship with my husband.
Hey, that's not true!
I know it's not true.
I don't even know why they're suggesting that.
So you're only comfortable with some of the lies?
I'm not lying.
So Danny told you to say that Pete Miller was holding the gun?
Not in so many words.
How many words does it take?
He suggested...It... it was how he put things.
What things?
I don't have to explain myself to you.
No, you don't. You know why? I get this. This is self-preservation, plain and simple.
Think about this, Lauren. If the roles were reversed and Danny was in your shoes, you really think that he'd be looking out for number one?
None of this was my choice. From the moment that I pulled that trigger, it was all out of my hands. I always wanted to tell the truth.
So look me in the eyes, Lauren. Right now. It's just the two of us. Tell me that Danny Messer told you to lie.
