of us who grew up plotting to be a criminal mastermind we placed an advertisement for people to help out in the show and one of the people who responded was colin you're doing all right yes not a very happy place is it it's okay let me show you the cell let's just through here all right i'll show you what you've got in here you've got a chair and a blackboard and i'm going to introduce you to our two cameramen here this is louis he'll be your cameraman he'll remain on you from now on this is
jono john is my cameraman he will remain on me neither will cut away both will keep a continuous shot of each other because i'm going to go in the cell next door we'll be able to hear each other through the ventilation shafts but we won't be able to see each other all right so thanks for helping us out i'll see you in a minute you see there were many reports in those days of prisoners that said they'd become demonically possessed because now we know what happened is that the isolation made them go schizophrenic and that
in that state they believed their every move to be controlled by some external force [Music] take a seat can you hear me colin yes i can hear you darren good so colin are both your parents still alive yes they still are what do they do and they're both pensioners so when you were young did they ever get cross when you were naughty did they get crossed if you maybe moved something you shouldn't have done if you moved something you were naughty did they get cross yes they did yeah did you move just then yes what
did you do move my head okay so do you think when they got cross that it affected you now do you cross yourself now um sometimes i do yes right did you move just there yes what did you do cross my arms good sounds like you're very uh close to your parents which is very touching to hear that's good did you move just then no okay i guess there was a time when you're 18 19 you start to sort of form your own life yourself you go back and see your parents they still treat you
a bit like a kid sometimes that happens i wonder if that made you uncomfortable sometimes you felt yourself sliding back yeah sometimes i did yeah did you move then yes what did you do i moved my legs okay colin i want you to stand up go over to the blackboard pick up a piece of chalk get the chalk start wandering around the cell keep walking around and at some point i want you to go and put your forefinger on any point on any wall of the cell do that whenever you're ready walk around and around

can tell you what you do for a living what's up how are you happy with me to tell people yeah yeah all right look at me look at me first thing is you walk towards me your posture is strong and solid there's obviously a physical and controlled thing that you're involved in your handshake was solid there's a kind of a thing you're kind of checking me out slightly almost not suspicious but you're checking me out so i'm guessing you're in some kind of security job is that right regulation haircuts you're not a bouncer so this
is maybe something to do with uh police or something like that what are you doing what are you doing mate what'd you do working the police station you work in a police station are you you know you're not a policeman security for the police all right okay now look that's just me reading your signals what i want you to do this is more interesting is to think of what you would love to do if you weren't doing security at the moment don't say it just think it okay all right i'm gonna get a bit physical
there but just go with me right look at me and just think now be there in your mind imagine yourself doing it imagine now that you're doing this job whatever it is now what is it all right first thing is this is aspirational you're moving easily this is aspirational because your energy is up here not down there something that maybe you've seen and you would really love to be doing look at me just keep focus on me look at me all right now you're in a cramped space doing this thing and you're sat down so

make is is [Music] the one inch punch is a martial arts technique of focusing your entire energy into the fist and then by punching from a very short distance you can knock your opponent flat i found a kung fu grand master who can do it and invited him along to demonstrate it to a class of british students thank you thank you for telling an honor to meet you you too you are considered in hong kong to be the most sophisticated master of wong chun kung fu fantastic tell me this one inch punch does it take
a long time to learn is it difficult to learn yeah it takes me uh one year and you can put out a candle using this punch is this true i'd love to see this that's outstanding and you're going to try the same punch um dennis here you've volunteered to be hit i will stand back what was that like quite painful that was very violent thank you very much i want to show you something something i do which is similar but it's non-physical it's a little easier on the knuckles yeah it just uses the mind could

again you may have misread it oh yeah sorry you have one sorry fantastic good growth can you come can you come for the next meeting yeah 20 40 15 16 17 80 90 100 99 back at the house of detention i met a man who claimed he could beat a lie detector after half an hour attached to it he proved that he could have done that really really really wrong describe what you would like to see in school you can always go into a lot of trouble i disconnected him from the machine to see if
he could beat me this is a polygraph or lie detector to beat it you'd need to be able to control your body temperature your breathing rate your pulse to do that you'd need to be a perfect and congenital liar bordering on the sociopathic grant that's you thanks for joining us you're a used car salesman is that right that's correct yeah thank you for joining us now we've just spent about half an hour on this and you can beat the polygraph you want a few people that can do it well i want to see how you
fare against me the difference of course between me and the machine is that machine cannot pick up on visual and auditory clues and now that i just said there are visual auditory clues you will of course find yourself making them i will signal when i think you're lying using my unitouch desktop audio generator which is there okay so relax get comfy don't fully talk self-conscious and uh ask you a couple of questions i know the answer to first what's your christian name grant very good and uh where are we at the moment we're in the
detention center very good indeed all right so you can lie or tell the truth now to these questions grant have you ever done anything really wrong yes good what's the worst thing you've done you can tell me when i was uh younger i'd sit a car alive you said a car alive when you were young what's the worst thing you've done just tell me how old you were it's something you're thinking of now so quite specifically how old are you 25 25 how old are you 20 yeah okay all right 20 years old what did
you do i stole a cow box what did you do uh i lied to somebody oh that's good no that's true you light us out and uh all right and who was it someone close to you someone close to me yeah who was your family yes no who was it your friend your girlfriend okay and where were you now where were you where were you japan good okay i believe you all right so look here's what's happening now you know when when friends of yours if you're in a pub and your mates are lying you
know when they're lying because you can feel it because you're in rapport with them you are attuned to them and that's what i'm trying to do i'm lining myself up with your ongoing physiological state so here's the thing i'm going to attach myself to the polygraph the polygraph will now pick up on the changes in me and because i have that achievement with it because i'm so in line with you my body will respond to your lies because i will actually feel you lying does that make sense okay you turn me on ground okay grant
i'm going to ask you four times in a row what your mother's maiden name is okay each time you only think the answer you say nothing out loud but here's the thing you think the correct answer three times and you think a lie once when you lie is up to you okay so say nothing out loud grant what's your mother's maiden name grant what's your mother's maiden name that's the lie was that the lie yes yeah is it something like it's a mook something and then a short like a and then um well done thank
you so much for your time no problem okay thank you he was able to guess what lies i was telling when i was telling them and uh he was able to guess what i was thinking and which when i was thinking a lie it's unbelievable that can someone tell so quickly it wasn't even one trial two tries of straight off he knew straight away i can throw the card away now you don't need it oh no you got it you got it i'll go pick the loser busty boy busty boy you think we'll lose the
next race we'll lose yeah all right okay how much are you going to put on this one should we put some more money on that should we keep to our same stake 10 pound we don't want to be greedy because 20 20 20 pound truck one thank you very much so it's 20 quid to win one bestie boy [Music] [Applause] the losing ticket this is losing so this is a worthless ticket all right now let me show you something really interesting let's get a different window this time go to one further up hang on remember
what i said look right in this is the dog you're looking for that's why we came to this window thank you fantastic it's easy to misread them sometimes can i just check something with you it says there that mistakes can't be rectified after we've left the window yep can i just ask you what which dog won again on that one what was the number the correct number for the the dog that won number four four great right so the ticket i just gave you is number one which you've just paid out on winning what are
