- Previously on
"Dirty John"...

- What are you doing here,
Mom?

- I wanted to see my family.

- You weren't invited.

I just can't imagine
life without my family.

- I can imagine what Ronnie's
been saying.

- We have a problem.

Suddenly there are a lot
of one-star reviews

that mention you.
And they're upsetting messages.

Is it someone you know?

- Does John feel better now
that the cameras are set up?

- He does.

- I want to clear my name.

- There aren't just two.
- They are not me.

all: Cheers.

- May you live happily
ever after.

- I talked to a pediatric
neurosurgeon.

- You're a CRNA in Dayton?
- Yeah.

- What does your husband do?

- She said you'd been together
almost ten months.

What is this, John?
What are you doing?

You seriously think John would
steal drugs from a patient?

- I am telling you what I saw.

- What your drugs?
I got rid of them

to protect my children.

- Let me in!

Drugs explode me.
They make me lie.

They make me cheat.
They make me steal.

And I want to be free of it.

- It's a cramp.

- Let go, you bitch!

I want to do all the things
that I said I would do.

That's what I want.

- I want that too.

He's my husband, you know?

And he's saying he wants
to change.

And I just--
I want to believe, you know,

the part of him that says
that he wants that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Should we do a coffee run?

You don't need another
coffee run.

- I know I don't need one.

- Um, he's here.

John Meehan,
and he's alone.

The wife's not with him.

- Why are we whispering?

- Why--because--

'cause he's a stalker predator.

I gave you everything
I found on him.

Did you not read it?

- We'll just--we'll do
the initial interview, okay?

- No, no--
- And then I will call him

and tell him
I'm not taking his case.

- Okay, good, so I don't need
to be in there to take notes

'cause you're not taking
his case.

- Except for how I do need
you in there to do--

- It's a little red icon.
It looks like a microphone.

Just tap it, hit record.
It's fine.

- Hey.

John Dzialo.
- John Meehan.

- Good name.

Was your wife coming today,
too, or did I get that wrong?

- No, she's coming.
She's just running late.

She had to go to the
car dealership on the way,

but she'll be here.

You remember when cars
weren't computers?

When you could just get
under the hood

with a wrench and some gum?

- Exactly.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Hi, I'm--
I'm so sorry I'm late.

- Do not worry,
we knew you were coming

from the car dealership,
and besides,

you were right on time.

Well, good.

- John Dzialo.
- Debra Meehan.

- The Meehans.
Come with me, please.

- I mean, this one, she had
a trust from her family.

Multi-millions of dollars.

So why would I think
if I loaned her money

should would steal it?

- That's what happened?

- Yeah, she got me to loan her
150 grand against her trust,

and then said I never did.

When I took her to court
she told the judge

that I was stalking her.

- Okay.
What about this one?

- I don't even know her.

The dates they had me
in Indiana

I hadn't worked there for,
like, a year.

Okay.

- I'm just lucky that Deb's
so understanding, you know?

I promised her I'd get
to the bottom of all this

and clear my name.

That she shouldn't have
to put up with this.

- Absolutely.
No one wants that.

- It's been kind of a--
kind of a mess.

Um, we got together
very quickly.

- How quickly?

About two months.

And my family,
they're not happy about it.

I'm--I'm actually hoping

that some of what you do
for John is going to help

smooth things over with them.

- Yeah.
- They don't trust him.

They think that he wants
my money.

- Family's can be tougher
on each than anyone,

and they know all the real
vulnerable spots too.

You two get a prenup, or no?

- No.

- It might've help a little.

You're probably right.

- But still there's something
that we can do

that maybe would ease
their minds.

Not a prenup, obviously,
but a postnup.

I-I've heard of that,
but I've also heard that

it maybe doesn't stand up
in court.

- Sometimes they don't,

but if they're reasonable,
and honest,

and done in good faith,
they do.

And they cover
the same things.

Division of property
and assets,

responsibility
for marital debts,

and in your specific case...

Um...

your business---
rights to it after death.

There would, um, need to be

complete financial disclosure
from both parties

and we'd have to bring
another lawyer in,

to represent one of you
just in this instance.

Courts won't enforce a postnup

if, you both don't have
your own counsel.

So what do we think?

- I think it--it could be
a good idea.

What do you think, John?

- John, I can tell you're not
loving this conversation,

but it's clear from just
this one meeting

how much this woman loves you,

so whatever I can do to smooth
things over with her family

I'd be doing that for you, too,

not to be the bad guy,
but to help.

- Okay, well, it just--

to me is seems like a lot of
waste of time and money

when there's literally
no chance

of changing anything
with her family, so...

- Well, let me at least get

down the road a little bit
with it while I dig in here,

and then we'll see
where we are and how we feel.

Sound good?

- Yes.

Thank you so much.
- Okay.

Thank you both.

- Thank you.

- I'll be in touch.
- Okay.

- I'm thinking Sunday.

I'm thinking brats
on the grill

right around the game
time starts, say 1:30--

- Dave. Davey.
You work cases, right?

You analyze character,
predict behavior, right?

Why is this not gonna happen?

- I don't know.
- Your wife hates my wife.

- Come on.
That's not true.

- And the feeling is
enthusiastically mutual.

- Yeah, I know.

What the hell's the deal
with that anyway?

- It all began
one winter evening

lo these many months ago,

with an argument over whether

a certain skirt was purchased
on sale.

- Hey, I got a lady out front

needs to talk to somebody
in Narcotics.

- Coming.

Over here?
- Yeah.

- All right.
- The one on the bench.

- Thank you, sir.
- You got it.

Hey, Dennis Luken.

- Tonia Meehan.

Sells, sorry.
Tonia Sells.

You, want to follow me?

Do you know what hospital any
of these are from specifically?

- No, but you can find out
from the lot numbers which--

You probably already know that.
- Right.

- So these could be from
the hospital where you work?

- They could be, yeah.

- And you said you two are
separated or divorced?

- Divorced. Recently divorced.

- Amicable?
Not amicable?

Okay, here's the thing
that I'm not saying I think,

but someone could think
is what's happening here.

It's an ugly divorce,

you have access
to all this too,

just like your ex-husband does.

And you're mad,

and you want
to get back at him.

Maybe.

It's something someone
could think.

- Yeah, no, I know.
I thought about that.

That someone could think that.

All I can say is
that's not what this is.

If you do look into John,
you'll see what this is.

Who he is.

No hospital administration has,
or--

but if you do, you'll see.

And if you don't, well,

he'll just keep doing
what he's doing.

But at least I'll know
I tried to stop him.

- Okay, you don't get
to just throw out

the dramatic exit line
and bail.

I need more information.

- You call him yet?
John Meehan.

Tell him you're not taking
his case?

- That was an angry guy.

You saw him. John.
Did you see her?

- The wife?
Yeah, like a second.

She's gorgeous.
Great hair.

- She also seemed like
a very sweet, genuine person.

If she says or does
the wrong thing for him,

I just don't know.

I think she needs
some protection.

- Okay.

- Things aren't great with
her family because of him.

So this office is gonna try
and protect her.

We work for her,
not just him.

So we're gonna try and protect
her from him however we can.

- Should I go on a coffee run?
Want some coffee?

- It's after 5:00,
I won't sleep tonight.

But yes, yes I do.

- Okay.

I'll be back.

- Hello?

- I need my birth certificate
to get my passport renewed.

Can you leave it downstairs
at the desk, please?

- Well, hello to you,
too, Veronica.

I don't have
your birth certificate.

- What?
Then where is it.

- It's--it's at the bank
in the safe deposit box.

That's crazy.

Fine, then I'll go the bank
and get it.

- Well, you can't just go
to the bank and get it.

You know, it has to be me,

or John.

And I'm very busy,

so I won't be able to go
the bank till Monday.

- Are you kidding?

Okay, leave it downstairs
on Monday then.

- Okay.

Well, nice to talk to you too.

She's unbelievable.

- Not to me.

- John Meehan.

Thanks for coming by.

How are you, sir?

- I'm wondering why you haven't
done what we paid you for

is how I am.

- Okay, well, first things
first, why I called.

I was wondering
if you were close

to getting those financial
disclosure forms back to me.

- For what?

- For the postnup
that we discussed.

- No, we didn't "discuss it."

You talked at us about it
and we weren't interested.

That's my recollection.

- Okay, well,
it seemed to me

that you were at least
interested in seeing

what one could look like
in practical terms--

- Where are we at with
the lawsuits?

Any of them, tell me right now.

- Okay.

Well, I've gone over
the materials,

and I just don't see
the makings of a case for fraud

against pretty much
any of these women.

- 'Cause you don't know
what you're doing.

Yeah, if you did,

you would have filed by now,
but you haven't.

- John, I just told you--
- So you didn't file.

You're wasting time.
You're wasting my time,

and we're done.
Finished.

- If that's the way you feel,
I understand,

but I think that I should
also talk with Mrs. Meehan.

- Listen to me,

You work for me, you crook.

You work for me,
and you're fired.

- Okay.

- And I want that 25 grand
retainer back in full

or I'm gonna file a complaint
with the Bar.

- Okay.

- We're done.

- A lot of people knew

something was up
with John Meehan.

Pharmacists, medical staff,
administrators,

here, Kentucky, Indiana,

and I heard some stories.

A lot of discoveries

of anesthesia kits
with the locks broken,

missing vials,
missing ampoules.

And a lot of discrepancies
between

pharmacy proof-of-use records

and anesthesia
administrative records.

- I mean, yeah,
there had to be.

There were.

At one hospital, they told me
when they asked for

urine samples
based off the discrepancies,

John was the only person
who didn't turn one in.

Because he said he didn't need
to go right then.

- So?

- So they told him to stick
around the office

till he did need to,
but he left and no one noticed.

Till someone called
and said they had seen him

emptying urine from
a patient's catheter.

- And then what happened?

- And then they called
security,

but he left the building.

So he was fired,
but only from that hospital.

Now, a surgical nurse told me
she was on the O.R. team

for a back surgery
that John had

and they could all tell
he was an addict

because of how much higher dose
he needed

to be put under
than he should.

- And did she report that?
- Yeah.

And someone else, another CRNA,

said he was near John
in the O.R.

and he saw a gun
in his briefcase.

He reported that too.

So, yep.

A lot people knew something
was up with John Meehan.

The bad news is,
a lot of other people

apparently kind of decided
it wasn't their problem.

- I just--I--

I don't even--

- Me neither. No lie.

I been doing this job
for a while,

and I've dealt with
bureaucracy,

and fear of liability,

and maybe even a hospital
or two now and then,

and I just don't even, either.

I'm sorry.
And I will keep going,

but given how it's been going,

I'd be lying if I said
I felt optimistic.

- Please, let me do that.

- No, I'm good.
I'm almost done.

- With what?

- A letter to Debra Meehan

making sure she's on board
with John firing us.

I've been getting voicemail
when I call.

For all I know,
he's deleting the messages.

I'm gonna take this
to her office,

hand-deliver it.

- No, this is a bad, bad,
very bad idea.

- That I'm doing anyway.

- That you're doing anyway.
- Yeah.

- We just went grocery shopping
yesterday.

- I know, and then I started
thinking about pork roast.

With the gratin potatoes?

- Yes, with the gratin
potatoes.

I'm so excited.

- And I got Gruyere cheese
for the potatoes this time.

- You're killing me.
You are killing me.

Hey, that lawyer,
Mr. Dzialo,

brought that by Madeira today
for me.

- What is it?
- I don't know.

- "Dear Mrs. Meehan,
I've been unable to make

"direct contact with you
by phone,

"so I'm gonna try and resolve
things the old-fashioned way.

"Your husband, John,
has fired me

"and says he's planning to file

"a complaint with
the Bar Association.

"I'm just curious as to whether
you're aware of all this

"and whether you concur
with it.

If you do not, my office
number is--" blah, blah, blah

blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.

- Is that true?
Did you fire him?

Did he do something wrong?

I thought he seemed
kind of smart.

- No, he didn't do anything.

I mean, he's had your money
for how long?

There's a lot of great lawyers
out there.

I don't have to pay some
scammer to send you love notes.

Love notes.

Okay, well,
if that's what you think.

Wanna peel some potatoes?

Yeah?

Who? Melissa?

She has my card, what?

Just send her up--
this is her, thank you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hey, I work at
Fieldstone Regional Med

in the pharmacy.

- Yes, I came to talk
to your boss.

- Yeah, yeah,
you gave him your card.

He left it in the office
and I--I took it.

- I'm seeing him.

Dating him.

Sorry, I should have told you
when you came.

- You're dating your boss?

- I'm dating John Meehan.

Please.

- I mean, we're not exclusive.

John doesn't do that.
He says he does,

but he lies.

Lies about what?

- About everything.
About that.

About being a doctor,
a drug addict,

a drug dealer.

- So you've seen him
sell drugs?

But you've seen him do them?

- I guess not really, no.

I know where he keeps
them, though.

There are way too many
stashed up there

for him to be doing them all.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Ta-dah.

- Wow.

Boy.

John Meehan.

Dennis Luken.
Warren County Sheriff's.

- You can't be here.

- This is Investigator
David Nissley.

- You don't have permission
to be here.

- We actually do.
We have permission

and our authority granted to us
by this right here,

which is actually authorized,
signed, and sworn by a judge.

And we're just doing
what it says, big boy.

- Is this Melissa?

- You know what?
- Let me talk with Melissa--

- I'm not gonna be answering
your questions right now,

but you can ask your attorney
any damn questions you want.

- Right, come with me.
Let's go.

Let's go.

- Hey.

My mom was supposed
to leave something for me,

but I'll believe it
when I see it.

- Here you go.
- Wow.

Thank you.
- Welcome.

- Okay, really, Ana,
really?

You don't know why
I'm so pissed?

- Gun in his house?

This is Ohio.
It's a misdemeanor.

And I couldn't prove
the drugs were stolen.

- Yes, yes, you could.

- I'm not putting 5, 10
witnesses on the stand

to testify the drugs
were here on this day,

not here on that day.
Come on, Dennis.

I could prove possession.

Meehan agreed to plead
to possession.

He plead guilty
to the to the top charge.

We're done.

I think Meehan should go
to prison, too, okay?

But Judge Finley thinks
everyone who pleads guilty

to possession
deserves redemption.

That means rehab.
I'm sorry.

- Wait, what time was Meehan
supposed to report

for sentencing?

Where's your client,
Ms. Blake?

- I don't know.
He's late.

He's not answering his phone.

I don't know.

- Okay, Ana,
I need an arrest warrant now.

Come make Finley give me one.

- Hello?

- Dear Mrs. Meehan,

I just want to make sure
you know I got fired

for being a dickless,
old sack.

She didn't even open it.

That's how much she cares
about you.

She just gave it right to me.

- I felt that it was important

that she be made aware
of the fact that you fired me.

- Where's my money?

- What are you talking--
I sent you a check.

- The full amount,
the whole 25k.

That's what you owe me.
All of it.

- I billed my hours
and returned the remainder.

- You're gonna cut me a check
for the rest of that money,

and I'm gonna come over there
and I'm gonna get it.

- You don't have to do that.

I'll have it messengered
to you, okay.

- Sure, fine.

Maybe I'll just come over
there some time anyway,

or maybe I'm outside
right now.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I wrote you something.

A letter.

- You did?

What'd you do that for?

- I just felt like it.
Just because.

Well, thank you.

- "Dear Deb,

"We've had some rough times
recently

"and thank God we made
it through.

"I can see the pain you're
still in over your family.

"I wish I could heal it
with my love,

"but time is the only thing
that can do that

"and sometimes
it can't be done.

"All I can promise
is I love you,

"and I need you more
than anything.

"What's in the past is gone,

"and the future is just us.

"And without you, I don't know
if I would even exist.

"I've never known anyone
as good as you.

"I wish I could be more
like that.

"I promise I will try to be.

"That I'll make you proud
to hold my hand forever.

"I hope I die in your arms,

"'cause this world is
a very dark place.

"If I had to be in it
without you,

I'm afraid of what
I might do."

- Luken.
- Yeah.

- Mitrovich.

You got here fast.
Almost beat the paramedics.

- I'm extremely motivated
and he's a special guy.

I still kind of can't believe
you actually called.

Thank you for that.

- My old partner put out
an alert like yours

to all the departments
back in the day,

to call him if the guy who shot
his son got rearrested.

So I read all the alerts.

Here he is.
The man, the myth.

- Hey, John.
Sorry I missed the party.

I wanted to kill myself--

to kill myself.

Which is weird considering,
because if anybody knows

how to put somebody
to sleep forever,

wouldn't it be you?

Right.

One, two...

Wow.

Can you guys bag these?
- Absolutely.

- I'm gonna follow you all
downtown, just so you know.

Make sure this guys
gets squared away.

Once he does,

let us all commemorate it with
the adding of liquor to ice.

- You got it.
- Sir, can you hear me?

- You can explain to us what
makes him so damn special.

- Yeah.
Done and done.

- Ronnie, it's Mom.

I have a different
phone number.

If you're free,
I need you to come

and meet me at CC Kitchen
in an hour, okay?

Can you do that?

And if you're not free,
be free.

I need to talk to you.

- According to him,
he was trying to kill himself.

According to the paramedics,

the syringes he brought
hold enough

to get him high as balls,

but not enough
to take him out.

I don't know, boss.

Maybe he was trying to get us
to feel sorry for him.

- Know who I feel sorry for?
Your family, who thought

they'd be spending a nice
Sunday afternoon with you.

- Hey. Hey!

- No. No. No.

No. No. No. Damn it.

- Whoa! Hey!
- Whoa, man!

Hey! Hey! Get down!

All right, you got him?

- Grab him! Grab him!
- Hey!

Stay down!

- That was assault.

If you don't charge him,
I will.

- I'll kill your ass!

- You know you're not
a rehab guy, John, right?

Rehab wouldn't work for you.
We both know who you are.

- I'll kill you
and your family!

- You're going away.

Ronnie.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- What is going on?

- I'm so sorry.
I just--

I have to be so careful,
because I'm...

I just don't want John to know
anything

until--until I'm ready.

- Ready for what?
What?

- "Dear Deb,

"we've had some rough times
recently,

"and thank God
we made it through.

"I can see the pain you're
still in over your family.

"I wish I could heal it
with my love.

Honey? I'm sorry.

My stupid blister popped.

Lost all my running
calluses now.

Feet feel like pieces of ham.

Luckily we have some seltzer.

I'm gonna go work on getting
these stains out.

"But time is the only thing
that can do that,

"and sometimes
it can't be done.

All I can promise
is I love you."

- Shoot.

- "And I need you more
than anything.

"What's in the past is gone,

"and the future is just us.

And without you, I don't know
if I would even exist."

Hey, that lawyer,
Mr. Dzialo,

brought that by Madeira today
for me.

- What is it?
- I don't know.

- "I've never known anyone
as good as you.

"I wish I could be
more like that.

"I promise I will try to be.

That I'll make you proud
to hold my hand forever."

- Silly question for you
about technology.

If I sign into the cloud
from an account,

um, can I access that from
two devices at the same time?

Is that--

- Yeah, I mean,
you should be able to.

- What goes into the cloud?
Is it everything?

And what's everything?

Yeah, so your emails,

text history, your photos,
your address book,

where your phone is.

- "Debra, I hope I die
in your arms,

"'cause this world
is a very dark place.

"If I had to be in it
without you,

I'm afraid of
what I might do."

- Hi, is this John Dzialo?

Yes, hi, this is Debra Meehan.

Yes, I did.
I did get it.

Thank you so much,
and I just--

I don't have a lot of time,
but I wanted to talk to you

because I do--
I do need a lawyer.

But I-I don't think
it can be you.

And I need someone
who can do family law,

but also... criminal.

Paul, hi.

- Hi, Mrs. Meehan.

- How are you?
- I'm good. And yourself?

- Good. You know,
I wanted to ask you a favor.

Do you mind if I just parked
my car there

for less than an hour?

I couldn't find
a meter anywhere.

- No problem.
And just so you know,

we have that gold lazuli prefab
shade you like back in stock.

Well, wonderful.

Then I'll be coming back
through anyway.

- All right,
we'll see you then.

- Thanks, Paul. Bye.
- Bye-bye.

- Hi. Are you Mr. O'Neil?
- Hey.

Yes, Debra.
-Hi.

- Mike O'Neil.
- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet in person.

- Yes, you too.

- So how you holding up?

You know, I'm...

I'm scared.

And humiliated.

- You know how many times
on average a woman goes back

to a situation likes yours
before she gets out for good,

if she ever does?

- No.
- A lot more times than once.

- Really?
- Yeah, this is hard.

So don't blame yourself.

When a bank gets robbed,
you don't blame the bank.

I know all about this guy.

He thinks he's a real shark,
and he is

because all he thinks about
is feeding himself.

He thinks he's entitled
to eat whatever he wants,

but he isn't.

And also he's not a shark.

He's a big fat sea bass,

and I'm gonna get him
into our boat

and club him
till he stops moving.

You like analogies a lot?

You know who else likes them?

Juries.

It won't be the easiest thing
in the world,

and we have to get
our ducks in a row,

but I'm ready to go all the way
to town on this guy.

What about you?

- Me too.

- Kay, good.

- We need tequila.
Like, right now.

- You mean it?
You're gonna leave him?

- Yes.

- For good this time?
- Yes.

- Mom--
- Veronica--

- For good?

- Yes.

I have to.

- He spit on
my birth certificate.

Were you there
when he did that?

- What? No.
He what?

How do you even know that?

- Because he sent me this.

My God. Veronica.

- I know,
but I sent him this back.

It's good, right?

Ronnie.

- And then...

he sent me these.

- "Stay away from her

"or I'll throw you
in the ocean.

"Jump off a tall building.
That would make me smile.

"Head first will work.

Your mom and I will
be laughing."

I-I had no idea that...

I just--I didn't--

I didn't think
he'd go after you.

I didn't--I'm so sorry.

- I-I decided to move out of
Hadley's house.

So I've been looking
at apartments.

I hadn't committed to anything
yet though.

There were a few that I liked.

This one I really liked,

but it was a little close
to the airport.

But it was month-to-month
leases.

And it had a lot of locked
security gates.

Felt safe, you know?

- Go talk to them tomorrow.

See if they have a two bedroom.

If they do, let's take it.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- But how is he out already?

I thought it was
a 21-month sentence.

- It was, but the
Department of Corrections

has been to known
to shave a little off the end

for their own reasons,
which mostly they don't share.

Overcrowding maybe.

- But so he's just allowed
to do that?

Move out of state?

- If he does it by the book
like he seems to be, yeah.

A local parole officer will
pick up his case there.

Apparently he has a sister
who lives in California.

Gave the P.O. her name
and address.

Denise Meehan-Shepard.
You know her?

- I know she exists.

I never met her.

- Well,
John is her problem now.

Anyway, just be aware.

Don't rule anything out.

And again,
I really do think you're okay.

I don't really think you need
to worry about him.

We both know he's smart, right?

And the smart thing to do
would be to just stay away

from you and your kids

Find something to do,
with his life.

- He'll have to, right?

He needs to support himself
somehow at least.

- He could have been
a damn spy, that guy, right?

Or a lawyer,
but he made his choice, so...

- So did I.
- No, no.

You stop it.
You tried to make it right.

Way more than most.

Even including those of us who
supposedly do it for a living.

- Not you, though.

Thank you.

- Newport Beach
Police Department.

Yeah, hey,
Investigator Dennis Luken.

Warren County Sheriff's
Department in Ohio.

Can I speak to the
detective sergeant on duty?

Yeah, there's a guy moving
to your town

that I think
you should know about.

- Hi.

- Why'd you withdraw
so much cash today?

- What do you mean?

- The 30 grand you took out.
What's it for?

- Um...

Does it have to be
for anything?

- What's it for?

- It's my money, John.

- Everything that's yours
is mine.

- Well, no.

Anything that was mine
before you

is still mine.

- That's what you think?

For once in your holier than
thou life listen to me.

You think I'm gonna
let this happen?

No more being nice, Deb.
Is that what you want?

'Cause the last thing
I want to do is break you.

- I'm leaving
and I want a divorce.

- Hit me.

Go on.

Imagine how good
that's gonna feel.

Hit me and I'll make sure
you never get up again.

Move.

Move.
