Truer Lies

Season 3 episode 14. Flashback 1987, Shawn is home early from school. He had lied to Henry but Henry knew that. He told Shawn that every lie was built on a kernel of truth. He told Shawn that if he keeps lying than no one will believe him. Present day, Shawn is putting in the station. He almost makes it in when Lassie kicks away the ball. Shawn gets to see “Lyin Ryan,” being taken into custody. Shawn asks Jules about him and she tells him that Ryan always sent them on wild goose chases and now the police think he killed his super. In the interrogation room Lassie interviews Ryan and, Ryan tells him about the restaurant that serves the Fries Quarto Caso del Fritos. At the end of the interrogation the Psychologist thinks that he is some kind of person who lies all the time and when no one believes them their lies escalate. Shawn and Gus still can’t believe that there is such a fry. The psychologist thinks he could have killed the super and Ryan’s prints on the murder weapon and the victim’s blood on his hands would be enough to prosecute him. Shawn tells him that is too bad because Ryan is telling the truth this time. Shawn and Gus go back to the office. They figure out where the restaurant is and they go there. Then Shawn and Gus go to Ryan’s apartment and figure out that Ryan was telling the truth. If he had killed his super the blood would be on his clothes not on just his hands. At the station Shawn and Gus want to speak to Ryan but the chief doesn’t let them, so Shawn and Gus bail him out. When Jules and Lassie find out Jules has the expression of “Uh Shawn why did you just do that?” Shawn has Ryan tell him about the assassins and what he remembers. Ryan tells Shawn the time 4:30 to 6, address 450, and name Tom. When Gus goes to sell his Pharmaceuticals he figures out where the address is and who is the victim is. Shawn and Gus call Lassie and Jules down to the hospital. Jules went in a hurry because she thought Shawn was hurt because he was at the hospital. When they talk to Tom, he has amnesia and Lassie is like Spencer you had to find the only guy in Santa Barbra who has amnesia. Outside the room Jules is sad because she wants to believe Shawn but doesn’t really know if she can. The whole time he is talking to her she has a very sad look on her face. While they were at the hospital the Lawyer who never showed up for court was found dead. Shawn realizes the lawyer, Tom, and Ryan all are connected. In the video from the parking garage Tom is running away. Shawn figures out that Tom saw the assassins kill the lawyer and they were trying to kill him. At the hospital, Lassie and Jules had gone to arrest Tom but Shawn and Gus went to help him. When they got there Tom was gone. When Shawn and Gus go back into the car Tom and Ryan are inside and they are being chased. Gus doesn’t believe them so he stops in an ally. When he does this the assassins come. Gus gets away with Tom, but Ryan and Shawn stay behind. They tell the guys that they have back up around the corner. The assassins don’t believe them at first, and then Ryan lies and tells them to look into his eyes and tell him that he is not lying. Then they realize that he is lying, but Lassie and Jules show up and they are like they were telling the truth. Then Jules says “apparently so.” In the end, Ryan swings by the Psych office and tells them that he has turned over a new leaf. He also tells Shawn and Gus that he is going to be a hot air balloon captain and he would even let them steer. Shawn and Gus aren’t sure if Ryan is telling the truth and follow him.
