xQc Reacts to What pretending to be crazy looks like (JCS - Criminal Psychology)

okay also in the beginning chat i know for a fact i i've watched a portion of this one i've watched until 2025 i think off stream we've watched onto until 2016. uh this one's really dark it's good video though well i guess i i i don't care to get tired of my warnings okay they're dark videos they legitimately are they are they are dark and they present topics or whatever they're not always comfortable what's comfortable with it and these days okay um i'm not [ __ ] five candy anymore have to do these warnings ahead of time so i can so i could feel better about um the possible uh dangers of them do not do nothing with cos but you know this is 26 year old dawson mcgee sitting in a police interrogation room in the early hours of a tuesday morning the monday night before he stabbed his own mother to death for asking him to move out of the house and get a job dawson is unaware that he is being recorded on a hidden camera in three seconds from now he will hear the sound of the door being opened by a detective and at that exact moment you will see a remarkably noticeable switch in his demo yes we have watched until 16 minutes meaner that's just cringe though discussing something to talk to you about um we'll talk to you about what happened to your mom what happened to my mom will you tell me people calling me and said something happened at home too mom they were there [Music] if you want one am i supposed to have another question well that's up to you if you if you like one but we like to talk to you um it would come as no surprise that a judge deemed him fit to stand trial a jury then found him legally sane and he was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his mother all of which was in spite of a continuous charade of mental illness similar to the one you see here dawson clearly believed that his passage through the legal system would somehow be easier if he were presumed insane which is a naive yet somewhat common misconception that many suspects make when facing serious charges they have this notion that a plea of insanity would either lower the severity of their punishment or liberate them from it altogether that instead of being sent to prison they would simply be released back into society perhaps with a free psychotherapeutic program to attend on the weekends this is of course a far cry from reality in the united states if you're found responsible for a serious offense but also found not guilty of the crime by reason of insanity you will be institutionalized at a high security psychiatric facility these institutions are without question some of the darkest and most disturbing places in the system and if you're not actually suffering from the crippling effects of mental illness living in this type of environment will be a mentally agonizing experience the foresight of what occurs inside these units i'm not gonna lie just just just think about the idea of just sitting outside let's say like in a room without much to do whatever whatever how fast like my mind goes it's like it actually it actually scares me like just think about it i if not a greater amount of time than you would have had to serve at a regular prison so to put it briefly if you commit a serious offense and then pretend to be crazy in order to get away with it your life from that point forward will be an extremely dark and uncomfortable existence whether you manage to fool the system or not but there is one benefit which is the elimination of capital punishment the united states cannot execute someone deemed insane during the time of their offense which is the only conceivable reason a defendant would cling to this narrative even after knowing what lies ahead should it succeed and this happens to be a notion that ties in closely to the primary subject of this video it will focus on one particular individual whose interrogation footage is so fraught with blatant trickery that most of the segments presented to you won't even need suggestive commentary you can simply observe and judge for yourself whether you see authentic behavior or not but before showing you what pretending to be crazy looks like we'll briefly show you a genuine case of the criminally insane or at least a far more convincing one this is 18 year olds a freshman at east central university in oklahoma on a wednesday evening in december he asked fellow student gennaro sanchez for a ride we've watched this but we're watching it because we're watching the whole thing so i'm i'm i mean i feel like they got there murray pulled out a handgun and made general drive to an isolated country road where he shot him twice in the head he then attempted to hitchhike to canada but was soon apprehended by police on the side of the road he immediately confessed to the crime once apprehended and was then interrogated by the arresting officer went down to his dorm room and asked if i could be given a ride to walmart in exchange for 20 gas money so he took you to walmart yes sir and did you both go in no he did not go in sir we pulled into the parking lot then i pulled the weapon on him and demanded that he take me to asher oklahoma sir all of a sudden did you decide you need to go to asher because i was planning to take him out into the country and kill him okay did he say anything uh he panicked uh want to pull out his phone i yanked the phone out of his hand and then he patched them all kept telling me not to kill him to make him feel more comfortable i unloaded the clip unloaded the bullet from the chamber handed them over to him and that eased his nerves a little then i pulled a second clip out of my pocket and set it on my lap until you're driving east and so i guess at some point did you decide it was now is the time yes sir okay it won't happen uh i loaded the gun quickly chambered around quickly uh shot once missed so a second time hit jumped out of the car went around he was driving 10-15 miles an hour so it was rather slow uh ran around the hood of the car and of course it was slow when he wasn't purposefully driving uh tried to pull him out couldn't get him out until he already had hit the tree pulled him out there dumped him into the uh no before i dumped him into the ditch i heard him i'm not sure if that was a physiological or physical process after death but i thought that he might have still lived through that somehow because he was gurgling so i shot him again and then shut them down in the ditch he makes a half-hearted attempt to conceal the body with a handful of leaves and a stick he then walks in the direction of the highway did you get back on the highway yes sir and which way did you go yes sir you know what were you going to do james yeah each other and that was decided yes sir okay he states that his plan was to escape into canada to escape with not even a passport i had tried hitchhiking most of the way because the only way this was guys guys please only correlations between real people that that you know whatever within these people it's not it's not a healthy comment even though it's just jokes i better not make jokes that are that are relating the killer to people don't do that don't do that you're gonna get moderated just don't even don't don't even try it it's not right uh factoring in uh my belief that you all found the crime scene as if someone were to give me a ride there and then these are these evil actions and evil people i was pulling it behind me i didn't know as a patrol car i stuck my thumb out and he was there for the rest jerry i want to ask you at this point because i mean you you sit here and confess to pretty much in my mind and i think you might agree okay guys i use the word evil but maybe actually because i don't really understand the word entirely then just forget it then uh bad terrible things you will now see the detective attempt to establish a motive for the crime i don't have a hard time understanding what you've got well well because i'm getting tagging chat by people saying oh well people are illness and and that whatever that can't be evil i'm just gonna i'm just gonna refer you using the word evil that's that is a terrible horrible action and maybe it is or not i'm sure you're not gonna use the words because i don't understand it can you can you help me i don't really get anything out of it do you feel any remorse i'm sad that i got cut jesus so quickly tell me why i should believe you that there just was going to be one person that was going to suffer from your consequences of killing you have no reason to believe me sir i guess i'm just having a real hard time understanding why the detective fails to establish a solid motive for a further two minutes the discussion eventually lands on the victim's long-term girlfriend you don't think she's gonna be upset heartbroken i think she will be sir that'll make you feel no different sir okay i think you've been honest with me i think you've told me just straight up right out of the book what happened yes sir but um you know you know a terrible thing tonight yes sir um you killed a young man yes sir guys guys hey guys at this point with how the decision is going and what he's saying and the way he's saying it wouldn't they like handcuff him at least or like bind him somehow uh dude i'd be [ __ ] scared of [ __ ] if i was this guy i guess much pretty much this is safe for you yes sir and what do you think should happen to you that sentence sir and why do you think you deserved a death sentence an eye for an eye sir okay you're saying he's safer what if what if out of one lunge he literally sits around and jumps and start biting him or some [ __ ] yes sir jared murray was found not guilty by reason of insanity he was committed to a high security mental facility where he is to remain indefinitely anything to say for yourself today no ma'am any reason why you might have done this this young man no ma'am no reason no ma'am you have nothing to say for yourself no ma'am you want to tell the community anything no ma'am did you confess the police yes ma'am are you proud of what you've done no ma'am do you have remorse for what you've done no man he appears completely void of human emotion no regret remorse shame nor fear he had both taken a life and destroyed his own yet seems indifferent to the circumstances with respect to his interrogation footage the most conspicuous element was the complete lack of self-preservation he didn't once attempt to deflect blame nor afford himself any type of justification for his actions he simply spoke in a factual non-biased manner impartial to how his words may have been taken or even twisted to be used against him there is no calculated structure to his behavior whatsoever so with this notion in mind let's move on to the primary subject of this video there's always watches right this is all safe and whatnot right there have a seat all right put your hands up a little bit have a seat this is 19 year old nicholas cruz who three hours and 55 minutes prior to this moment murdered 17 people at his former high school in parkland florida among the dead were three teachers and 14 students the majority of whom were 14 years old a further 17 students were seriously wounded during the massacre the gunman dropped his rifle seven minutes into the rampage and then blended in with the crowd as he ran out of the building he was at large for one hour and 20 minutes during which time he stopped off at a subway and then a mcdonald's where he sat down and casually spoke to one of the victim's brothers the student was unaware that his older sister had just been shot through the chest by the man sitting across the table the description of the shooter was transmitted by police over the radio which led to an officer identifying and arresting him on a street just two miles away from the school he was taken to the nearest hospital and examined by a doctor for roughly one hour and 45 minutes he was medically cleared and then transferred to the local sheriff's office where he was subjected to interrogation well don't do nothing about getting up right buddy chad now we're 45 from the moment the subject entered the room is it mostly like physical checkups or whatever or or mental so this goes right or this is admissible or some [ __ ] is there any his eyes have been fixed upon nothing but the floor he's held on to this downward facing gaze as if he's either in a state of shock or disconnected from the moment at the exact moment the door shuts he lifts up his head to observe his surroundings his behavior completely shifts once he believes no one is watching if we look at his demeanor a moment earlier we can see the contrast he went from being detached to alert his behavior changed as the environment changed which is a recurring theme throughout this interrogation it shows us that his mind isn't wandering off during these moments of apparent disconnection he is in fact fully present and very aware of what's going on around him as he looks up his eyes immediately lock onto the camera he now knows he is still being watched and his following gestures will resemble that of someone with suicidal tendencies why wouldn't you just assume already being recorded hmm these externalized suicidal thoughts may seem genuine to some but when framed with the rest of his behavior we rarely get pepper pain spams these days but that was a hard spam they are exposed for what they really are an act a calculated attempt to garner sympathy and paint his character in what he believes to be a more positive light we know it's not all right how you doing nick you're right well the attendant is so bad that's actual trend all right i just need to ask you really your name and date of birth just to confirm i got it right then i'm gonna see you want a glass of water or something what's your first name this is a situation where the proof against the suspect is already conclusive he is without question responsible for the crimes under investigation making the pursuit of a confession not essential the police know he did it but they need to know why he did it which would already require a complex strategy in order to obtain the correct information but the suspects first recorded statements upon his arrest have now made the procedure considerably more difficult what's going on today bro demons man demons voices voices and demons where's the voices what happened shut up just be quiet man demons man voices these two words have now forged the primary stratagem of his own interrogation which is to cut through deception under the guise of supportive examination the questions will be designed to lock him into a specific narrative about his psychosis while simultaneously giving him the impression that his responses are for his own benefit anything he says now can be used to refute any amendments he might come up with at a later stage he will have significantly more time to think study and even seek guidance from professionals about how the legal system interconnects with mental illness yet the majority of this forthcoming knowledge could be useless to him depending on what he says during these moments the more details he gives away the less options he will have for his defense later on but pursuing this objective is complicated as there are two very common scenarios for when this type of suspect gets interrogated and just to be entirely clear by this type of suspect we mean someone who is one pretending to be insane and two not fooling anyone their most common response is to simply shut down they regress into total silence or some type of catatonic state and the interrogation never gets off the ground the other common response is the exact opposite they erupt into hysteria or supposed delirium and everything from that point forward becomes incoherent the lead detective john curcio must not allow either of these scenarios to transpire and this makes the first two minutes absolutely crucial he needs to create a positive first impression and resemble the furthest thing from a threat while at the same time maintain a presence of authority his temperament will be easy going and non-confrontational but also encouraging when extracting a response his role at this moment is the ally he needs to be liked respected but must not be feared not yet anyway going off the suspect's initial demeanor the detective will know that he is far more likely to regress into a state of silence at this opening stage and if he can prevent that from happening within the first two minutes he is over the first obstacle all right how you doing nick i just need to ask you really your name and date of birth just to confirm i got it right then i'm gonna see you want a glass of water or something what's your first name come on nick huh spell it for me okay come on i'm i'm old you got to talk so i can hear you n i k o l okay a s and what's your middle name come on man speak so i can hear you check it out jacob jac what's your date of birth i don't have a middle name okay you need to relax because i'm i'm the last detective or policeman you're going to have to talk to so right off the bat that should be somewhat comfortable i wanted to have one type of the last guy you got to talk to but the thing about it is look at me i got to be able to hear you okay most people have one so all i want to do is get basic information from you and then we'll get into the you know whether you want a glass of water all that stuff what's your date of birth january 0 9 0 9 september the investigation team already know the answers to these basic questions their only purpose are to initiate a response and their non-threatening nature make it more likely for the suspect to engage they are essentially the opening wedge to get the two-way dialogue flowing and although the suspect is still partially committed to his catatonic state as we can clearly see he is still responsive making it unlikely for him to regress into complete silence from this point forward everything up to this moment has gone to plan the detective has one foot in the door and he can now develop the relationship from a more secure position he goes about this with a standard method of rapport development the offer of food and water all right let me do this you want you want cold water you don't know if you want cold water thank you thank you i'm going to bring in two because i want one that was it was hot and then if you decide you want to have it that's fine you sure you don't want something to eat the refusal to accept food and water is a familiar response which you may have already seen on this channel it's a glaring manifestation of shame this is not to be confused with guilt nor remorse both of which require the acceptance of responsibility which in turn directs our focus outwards on the feelings of others shame on the other hand shifts our focus on the perceptions of others towards ourselves the subject is afraid of how it will look if he accepts the offer considering the circumstances he instead wants to appear as if he's so negatively affected by the events that he's unconcerned with meeting his basic needs of course i have so many different keys once again his demeanor abruptly switches when the detective leaves the room with his head buried in his hands it's anyone's guess as to what is going through his mind at this moment but what you are about to see next is extremely revealing cruz was a left-handed shooter the surveillance at the school would confirm this and if you pay close attention to the movements of his hands in the next moments although very subtle you can see that he's reimagining holding his weapon but what's more telling is how his demeanor abruptly stops and then completely switches right before he looks in the direction of the camera he goes from holding a rifle and beginning to smirk to then pretending to cry and reverting back to his suicidal mannerisms this all occurs in under four seconds i don't think it's a stretch it could be assumed that for a brief moment he was not only recollecting the attack but gaining gratification from doing so he then remembered he was on film giving reason for the sharp adjustment his true self was reliving the attack and enjoying his work while his false self was so dejected to the point he was externalizing suicidal thoughts complete opposites his next calculated charade is one of self-harm he first bites himself without drawing blood or leaving any marks that were visible in his jail intake photographs he then scratches we saw this until 26. squeezes at the two needle punctures in his arm from where his blood was taken at the hospital at the very moment the detective re-enters the room he will act as if he's desperately trying to conceal his self-injurious behavior all right setting aside the glaring contradiction that he just murdered and maimed dozens of people while leaving himself without so much as a scratch it's the frequency of these little charades that makes their deception so transparent this is a person who is not self-injurious pretending to be someone that is but it's such a feeble attempt at feigned self-harm it would almost be a comical moment if the circumstances weren't as horrific don't bleed anymore you want them off we can pull them off i'll get you a garbage can you want them off just put them on there throw them on the floor in the corner all right this one is mine because i already opened it this one's yours in case you change your mind the next four minutes are the extremely tedious process of getting the subject to engage further through basic questions the topic of his phone will now be brought up what about your phone do you have a phone when did you lose it okay today okay what kind of phone is it i don't know okay is it a flip top a iphone a flip top samsung come on now it's a phone what's the number come on i can't remember okay he will now begin to feign a state of hysteria which then morphs into a simulated panic attack and fake hyperventilation the detective will need to refute the act immediately as to not let the subject gain confidence with it but he also has to maintain rapport and avoid confrontation he essentially has to tell the subject to knock it off but in the most passive manner possible okay nick nick calm down you've already been medically cleared i know what's going to be talked about is difficult but again you don't remember your phone number how long you had the phone how long have you had the phone and he's not giving it at all to the action yeah the doctors already looked at you okay okay you're fine you're not having any problems at the moment and you're perfectly fine so calm your breathing down all right and and i want to believe certain things that you're going to tell me but you know if we're getting where you're going to hyperventilate over a phone number okay oh yeah this hyperventilating uh i mean also the the manic episode is somewhat curved but the subject i just feel like if i was trouble breathing at clearly committed you're not going to remain seated in a composition what's happening two zero zero seven two zero zero one zero zero seven one zero zero seven and again going back to what kind it is do you know if it's an iphone a samsung how long have you had every kid knows what the phone is man i got kids your age ever since my mother died i know i heard about that that's what i was going to talk about next this is a turning point cruz's adoptive mother had indeed passed away the year prior from pneumonia the topic is sympathetic towards himself and it seems to have stopped the faint hysteria in its tracks compared to his neurotic behavior in the minutes leading up to this moment he all of a sudden appears calm he is clearly receptive and thus responsive to the cue of compassion when it's directed at himself the detective recognizes this and although he said he would talk about the subject's mother next he instead focuses on it immediately to keep him engaged all right so but you had since your mom died how long has your mom passed i can't remember i think okay last year all right i'll say this again stop linking chat behavior and emotes towards the person and the thing sometimes we'll chat about that the concept itself without linking it to the person becomes more engaged in the conversation the detective inquires further about his mother for roughly three minutes before shifting the discussion it focuses mainly on the subject's background and he first declares that he was depressed for the majority of his childhood he then reveals his history of drug use which consists of marijuana and xanax after that he claims to have attempted suicide by alcohol poisoning two years ago but in his own words i'm not saying you guys can't harass it uh harassing whatever just just just don't be weird to one another and don't get it off for the last two years working as a cashier so you've been able to hold down a job for two years that's pretty good right yes other than dollar tree here where else did you not towards him but towards you guys one another be chill one another man okay all right when you tried to kill yourself with alcohol your mom was still alive what were you depressed about back then yes friends no friends or what's what what kind of loneliness i mean everybody gets lonely you don't have a lot of friends yeah okay um today when i say today starting from last night when you went to bed this morning did you do any kind of drugs at all any xanax any marijuana anything like that no okay the subject reveals that he has a biological brother whom he was adopted with he then claims to have been making hundred dollars a month at the dollar tree the discussion now lands on what his aspirations were when you weren't depressed what did you want to be when you got out a ranger an army ranger apply fill out any paperwork to try to go to the army i took the as i failed okay why'd you fail that's how stupid you're what i'm stupid you're stupid okay were you gonna take it again i was afraid to take it okay would you add aspirations to to do something with your life you wanted to be a that's a that's a hell of a thing to want to be an army ranger what is that 15k a year the discussion moves on to the subject's gun collection which continues for roughly four and a half minutes the attack on the school is yet to be mentioned but the last gun to now be discussed was his choice of weapon to commit the massacre what made you choose out of all the guns to want to buy an ar-15 cool looking okay now when you bought it i mean it was a legitimate purchase they gave you a receipt and everything right so you bought it legally right they felt you did you fill out those forms and everything okay you remember those forms okay the detective now shifts the topic onto his former high school the same place he carried out the attack now three years ago when you went to douglas and obviously you stopped going there why'd you stop going there my depression worsened the depression worsened and what what was going on because they you know did you just stop school on your own or did some incident happen where yes someone sent it what was the incident that happened before i came you fought a kid you remember the kid's name and did you guys both get in trouble for the fight or yeah okay what did they do suspend you one time i found high school i got clapped the guy held me down they called his dad [Music] you felt embarrassed because you got suspended or you felt embarrassed because of why okay well what was embarrassing about the fight what were you guys fighting over girl girl well what was embarrassing about not it yeah get the better of you was that what was embarrassing or just that you had the better of you okay he has just provided the state with a solid argument for a motive establishing a reason for an offense is critical when dealing with claims of insanity it can not only indicate premeditation but also calculated malice in connection to the crime something considered absent in the mind of the criminally insane he also asserts that he was lonely and depressed while attending the school all of which can reinforce the argument that he was exacting revenge upon the community in which he felt ostracized all right so you go back to school what ends up happening you just stopped going to school out there they you got into more problems were they expecting some more problems what was the what was it what was the more problems failing class not going to school okay and this is all while your mom was still alive yeah okay did it come a point in time where you just stopped going there they expelled you well i just stopped going and then transferred me they transferred yeah yeah he's self-stitching because all you know is a motive that was that upsetting to you and this guy thinks he's he's whatever and the role the suspect has made the claim about hearing a voice which he labeled the demon the detective will now attempt to get a detailed narrative of these perceptual disturbances he will do so by asking a series of open-ended questions and then continuous follow-up questions thereafter this will lock him into specific claims about what he was hearing the more information he gives away the less he will be able to amend later on and the more questions that are posed the more likely he is to make contradictions that can be used against him the suspect believes this is some type of clinical evaluation for the sake of his own well-being and this misconception will become glaringly apparent later on he at this moment is oblivious to the fact he is giving information away that will be used to cut through his own defense in years to come until you go to the hospital and you're talking about demons what are the demons the voices well tell me about it what are the voices about it's one it's another voice the evil side okay and how long has that voice been going on years did you ever tell anybody about the voice never and what does the voice say to you burn kill destroy okay burn kill destroy what anything but have you ever burned killed or destroying anything what have you burned killed or destroyed burned just fire set fire to what fire oh a fire pit okay well i mean the voice told you to burn something you built built a fire in a fire pit what's destructive about that that's what fire pits are made for what else does the voice tell you to do that's kill animals okay have you ever killed animals whoa what kind of animals birds birds wild birds or pets how you kill them wait for them kill them can't catch them so how you're waiting for them in the grass wait for a bird to come up there's no way man i'm a bird lover there's no way you can't catch a bird homes no i mean like with the pelican oh okay where's your pelican pelican it broke all right so the voices tell you to to hurt animals and start fires in the fire pit where was the last time you heard the voice yesterday what time was it yesterday it was at night context he killed people at school and where were we at all right you're at work so we had dollar tree and what's the voice telling people you hurt people hurt people at dollar tree or hurt people there are people in general okay doesn't say specifically who all right can you tell how old the voice is my age okay you have a good voice too or just a bad voice that's a good question is there a voice inside you that says do good things the detective will now start getting confrontational and the subject's behavior will shift once more in response you will see him get defensive as he attempts to protect his narrative and his responses will become much faster he will even cut the detective off multiple times keep in mind that he was barely saying anything at the start of this interrogation no no can't be you held down the job for two years if you were doing things bad you wouldn't be able to hold the job down for two years right damn okay i mean look everybody has everybody everybody it's me and then my bad son i understand everybody's got a quote good and bad side there's people it's a voice voice is in here and that is me just struggling throwing me just trying to be a good person okay set aside his contradicting behavior for a moment and focus solely on his storyline in his ideal scenario we are to believe that he was battling these supposed voices and in his own words trying to be a good person yet he was unable to reveal or seek help for this internal struggle until the very moment of his arrest it was quite literally the second he was confronted with his comeuppance that his supposed demons came to light now that he is in custody with the atrocities already committed he is somehow able to maintain control over the force that was previously keeping him silent but a deleted video that would later be extracted from his phone would tell a very different story hello my name is nick and i'm going to be the next school shooter of 2018. yeah i don't want to see this part to be honest this is this is this is trash ah [ __ ] this guys i i don't give a [ __ ] i'm sipping it this is this is weird i'm not going to show that i'm sorry i i just i i don't know personal beliefs i'm not i'm not going to give that any [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] this i'm not explaining me just trying to be a good person okay but obviously again when you say it's a voice it's you it's all you the voice is you as well yeah the voice didn't force you to do anything right no the voice said it's two voices there's one half that's the good and then the back guys i'm not he's rapidly it's not soy yet okay i'm not gonna give somebody who did extreme terrible disgusting things okay let himself smoke his ego on his own camera i'm not interested in behavior has now gone from catatonic to manic to hallucinatory to now highly attentive and cautious okay well the voice tells me to go to lunch and not pay for my meal but i pay for my meal because i know that's the right thing to do right okay let's talk about because did the voice the voice didn't tell you to take uber right yes it did it did yes the voice said take uber okay the voice is is it me you're the voice there's there's nothing here okay it's in your head yes is it a male voice or a female voice the subject was beginning to panic but the detective dials it in for the time being and switches the discussion back to more trivial matters it seems that he wants to consult with the investigators outside before maximizing the pressure and he re-establishes a certain level of trust before leaving the room let me go i'm gonna go back and see what everybody's doing as far as what they need me to do you're not a psychologist or anything no i'm not i'm i'm a 59 year old man who's raised three children so i guess that makes me somewhat of a psychologist i think you can give me a psychologist here uh i can certainly ask okay have you ever seen a psychologist before the subject scratches his arm for another two minutes he then switches to a hallucinatory state and appears to be seeing things in the room oh thanks all right got some stuff here the detective will once more dismiss the act by pretending to not see it he will then pose a question to the subject and the charade will cease immediately near the water will you put it back over here you definitely don't want the water huh it's very interesting to observe his facial expressions at the exact moments he abandons fake behavior these are the very brief junctures in which his true self appears to surface it's easy to get distracted by the present situation as he sits there in a hospital gown chained to the floor essentially helpless to the cunning devices being used against him but in moments like this we are reminded of what we're actually dealing with a very short time ago he was not helpless at all he was the one preying on the helpless offering them none of the sympathy nor mercy is [Music] obviously i would have to tell them what you want to talk to them about so what exactly do you what do you want me to ask them or what why do you want to talk to a psychologist find out what's wrong with me what do you think's wrong with you i don't know the detective in this next segment will attain further information about the supposed voices only he will no longer have to tread carefully in order to maintain a friendly connection he will still secure useful information but also get confrontational as and when he pleases the risk of frightening the suspect to the point where it stops the interrogation is no longer a concern when you hear the voices or the voices like outside your head or inside your head when you hear them inside okay so it's not like you don't hear a voice from that corner talking to you it's inside your head and is it always the same voice or is only one voice one voice and you said it's it's a it's a man's voice that's yeah does it sound like anybody you've ever met anybody you've ever seen on tv can you tell like by an accent is it what kind of is the old man young man white man black young man about the same age as you you think there's only one voice you ever hear right i know he's got to remember all this [ __ ] he's saying do you hear the voice when you're in bed at night sleeping yes do you ever see anything with the voice like uh yeah you know some people say oh i see a person sitting in the corner you don't see anybody sitting over there do you just me and you right all right do you always obey what the voice tells you to do i try not to okay well how many uh on any given week how many times you think you hear the voice all the times every day once every day morning afternoon night always the same time in the afternoon about what time 11 to 12. why do you think it's those hours jeez is this guy it's always around lunchtime now you talked about demons and then you talk about lunchtime demons okay the voices the voice is the demon so there's not a person whoever [Music] just just a voice with no name did the voice tell you to buy that ar-15 yes did it tell you hey buy that gun it looks cool did the ar-15 get picked out because it was similar to the gun that an army ranger would carry no it's because of the voice okay what do you think if you if you didn't buy it if you said hey i'm buying these guys too expensive what do you think the voice would have done to you did you stop talking to you no tell me i hurt myself how how would you hurt yourself okay you're a cutter okay i mean was the last time you cut yourself early let me guess again like the other guys no marks no nothing earlier today or earlier today what were you fishing at today before the shoot before the school shooting yes what were you what did you cut yourself with your knife those little scratches on your arms i mean look at them come on man i get worse scratches squeezing my flower bed than that you weren't trying to hurt yourself yes i wasn't sharp enough wasn't sharp enough how many knives you held four five how long you've been cutting yourself years yeah you ever cut yourself where you had to go to the hospital get stitches when you cut yourself it's because the voice just told you to cut yourself and if you didn't talk or you didn't listen to the voice then you were going to be alone because your voice was your only friend that's kind of what you're saying even though you have a biological brother since me and you've been talking have you heard the voices what's it said saying yourself for you to cut yourself does the voice like me does the voice like me he doesn't trust you why doesn't he trust me pretty relaxed ain't it i'm trying to try and figure that out too well what does he like about me i mean i'm kind of grinning because i want to know what what the voices problem is with me what doesn't he like about me i treated you fairly i've given you water i talked nice to you oh man you know you're too nice i'm too nice yeah how many times does a voice talk to you while we've been in the room here together a lot as a voice said jump out of the chair and do anything bad to that policeman she's just saying kill yourself now i don't really believe there is a voice to be honest with you no i don't think there is i'm telling the truth no i mean i feel you probably want to kill yourself because of what happened but no the voice is telling me damn he's [ __ ] rolling him now that's very competitional the voice is telling you that the ar-15s you like guns man you want to be a ranger you like guns it's all right there's cops like that there's cops who got a 50 million guns you didn't buy guns because the voice said hey today i like mossberg's tomorrow i like ar-15s you thank like can you call the psychologist i've already got the questions from some of the psychologists some of the questions i asked you were from yeah i see that's ones i asked you you ready the questions were obviously from the investigation team and not a psychologist guys i don't know why this kind of scared me the way that um maybe maybe i'm overreading this i feel he was going to go kind of close to him but he kind of retracted twice because he didn't want to go too close or whatever right look like this you already know the question is obviously from the investigation i'm not a psychologist but the suspect doesn't know this and it's fascinating to observe his reaction when he sees the questions are not sympathetic in nature he perhaps thought a psychotherapist would be asking him about his feelings and afforded him some type of reassurance after he committed mass murder and he becomes very unsettled once he realizes the procedure won't be quite as sympathetic voices or the inside or outside of your head what do the voices say these are all questions i asked you how many voices you said one whose voice do you think it was you didn't know what's wrong with me i don't know i don't understand why you can't admit you like guns then he bought it psychology why don't you talk to a psychologist when the voices started the voice is telling me not to and i was saying the voice was telling you not to talk to a psychologist yeah by myself i wanted to do you ever go to church i don't want to tell no i'm saying ever in your life yeah you believe in god um believe in god what do you believe in i feel like there's something okay but if you believe in demons if you believe in angels angels is the good demons are the bad you when you say the word demon you think it's an evil spirit or what do you think it is always the subject had earphones in during the mass shooting the topic now lands on the music he was listening to well i mean i'm sure we don't like the same music what kind of music we listen to we'll name the name the group wasn't mark mark green you have to help me mark what mark sometime what was the song though sad that's the name of the song sad now uh salad days solid days [Music] hold on a second what else that's kind of eerie um which is a lot of sad songs where did you pick the music yourself and then myself partially all right which ones did you pick the sound ones which ones did you the evil ones what's in the what's he what give me an evil one compared to a sad one you're gonna give me a sad one what's an evil one much what pencil mensch pester minch let's get the [ __ ] out of me i don't know i mean there's no lyrics to it no well there's lyrics but i don't know what it means but is it in english no what language is it in german do you do you speak german no then how do you know what the lyrics mean i don't so they could be happy right i don't know if they're happy or not again you don't because you can't speak it the demon shows that i got it but you're you have one how do you think you had them on your on your playlist a long time okay so you listen to them a lot of times so you had a playlist of music that the demon helped you pick out but you picked out some of them i'm just having a tough time understanding this demon thing well the the xanax you were talking to me about earlier where'd you get to xanax on the street or on the streets so you used to buy that other than xanax and marijuana what other drugs you ever you never tried flaca pcp cocaine heroin fluka no okay xanax how many of those did you take when you used to take them i remember this yeah okay five what what what what side bar how big of a i mean which i think it's a designer thing all right but that was off the street did they help you sleep it made me cry did it make the demon go away yeah it's not a fleek it should the [ __ ] out we'll do this a long time so if the xanax helps you get the demons away marijuana does it better marijuana does better when it was last time you smoked marijuana last week last week you're making 1200 a week why don't you smoke marijuana every day to get rid of the demon damn it's illegal yeah oh trouble it's illegal it was illegal whether you do it once a week or once once every five minutes so this guy you choose to get rid of the demon by doing it anytime you heard the demon just light up a blood i mean you had the money man because i knew it was a legal one i didn't want to do wrong what so the demon wanted you to do wrong but then your good side didn't want to do wrong by smoking marijuana his store is already going full swiss cheese at this point it's full of holes in that no it made him go away well i don't know why you didn't tell the doctor then you had anxiety problems and marijuana and xanax cured your anxiety made the demons go away it seemed like an easy fix man if that's true you sure you didn't like the demon voice you sure sure then why don't you go to a doctor to get rid of it forget that for a second let me ask you another crazy question did the dean was the demon there that night ian beat you up on campus was the demon there that day when he ian beat you up on campus yes okay so so who did ian beat up you were the demon okay so why didn't the demon do something to stop it huh i don't know that's a good question because the demons tell you to do all these bad things why couldn't the demon get you mad enough to get the best of even problem i don't know i don't know either doesn't make any sense all-powerful thing that tells you to do bad things and you're afraid of it why did the demon just take over right then when ian was getting the best of you and get the best of ian why why did the demon not do that why do you think i mean you realize that he's completely done so yeah i don't know i don't know it's [ __ ] trapped even exists i think i don't think it exists no like okay i think that them am i able to like think to myself about it yeah sure yeah my story is really really bad and i i i don't know yeah now yesterday just thinking about the gym well you want me to think for a while and i'll come back and talk to you i personally i think you're using the demon as an excuse i'm not i promise you could have stopped the demon by getting a prescription for marijuana you could stop the demon by getting a prescription from xanax you could stopped the demon by illegally doing marijuana which you were doing anyway you could stop the demon by doing xanax illegally which you're doing anyway you could have stopped the demon anytime you want you didn't want to stop the demon the subject seems to be coming to the realization that he's not going to be treated as a victim as he begins to meet this reality you will notice him exhibit signs of fear you will then see him attempt to escape the confrontation by feigning a state of psychosis once more please not recognize this but this time will not afford reassurance he will instead apply further condemnation and a visibly frightening realization will engulf the suspect from that point forward it's essentially the very beginning of retribution the detective introduces him to the rest of his life at this moment no that's not true you didn't you could have i've given you four ways you could have stopped the demon man okay now you know you're just acting like that because no no no no no no no okay well relax you're just acting like that because i'm making sense calm down i'm making sense and you don't like when it makes sense like no no because you i think you like the demon no i don't why did you stop it then i don't like the name i don't like the demon i don't like it you know that's if that's if the demon even uh that was painful or something you want what an attorney yeah did you demon do the uh the voices tell you to get an attorney okay all right we tell the voice that don't hit yourself in the head because the the the attorney the demon just requested i will i will stop talking to you i'm scared i'm scared i'm scared i'm scared you're scared of what i'm scared why wouldn't he protect me man i don't know why wouldn't you protect me all right well again your demon wants an attorney does he does he know an attorney any name in particular okay okay he seems to know a lot of songs all right well just relax you're done talking to me and once again i grab the wrong key all right do me a favor stay seated put your hands kind of sit forward in a chair i would put handcuffs behind you since you keep talking about hurting yourself hold on forget me on your back no no not behind the chair behind your back i don't want to make you that uncomfortable oh why don't you want me to hurt myself because what did the demon say about me i'm a nice guy damn okay i want to lose this guy nicholas cruz was taken to the broward county jail where he remains in isolation to this day his trial date is yet to be scheduled the 20 year old has been held without bond since last year's mass shooting that left 17 people dead his attorney said he would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence but processing the [ __ ] are those penalty wait what the [ __ ] are those thing that left 17 people dead his attorney said he would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence but prosecutors rejected
