Previously on "Notorious"...

I need to report a homicide.

Breaking news... Sarah Keaton,

wife of tech billionaire
Oscar Keaton, is dead.

Julia George tells the
world what really matters.

She produces the
number-one cable news program.

Julia: Someone wants me to believe

that Oscar beats his
wife and has a mistress.

Let me run point on Oscar's case.

- I said "No."
- Jake...

you were in love with his wife.

Anything you say to me, you
can say in front of him.

We've been friends since we were 8.

I have orders to arrest your client

for the murder of Sarah Keaton.

I found Sarah's brother.

You'll come on the show?

Yeah.

I want to tell the world the
truth about Oscar Keaton.

I need a graphics check.

Double the font size and
switch to all caps.

- You're all set.
- This is gonna be good.

- Man: 10 seconds out.
- [Beep]

Megan: Louise, Alan
Wells is an exclusive.

- Photos are teed up.
- Copy that.

Man: And in three... two...

[Dramatic theme music]

Tonight, an exclusive
interview with Alan Wells,

brother of Sarah Keaton,

whose husband Oscar has
been arrested for her murder.

The court has denied bail,

so Mr. Keaton will remain
in jail until his trial.

Alan, let's get right to it...

What do you want our
viewers to know about your sister?

Sarah had the kindest heart,

always saw the best in people.

Sounds like you two were close.

We were, but...

more recently we drifted apart.

Sarah knew I was no fan of her husband.

Oscar Keaton. You two had a falling out?

I didn't like the
way he treated my sister.

What do you mean?

When she married Oscar,

I thought Sarah had found her soul mate.

Then he became consumed with
building up his company,

working 24/7.

And when he came home,

she said he was
moody and short-tempered.

It seemed like nothing Sarah
did was good enough anymore.

- [Beep]
- He teed it up. Ask him.

Were things ever violent between them?

She never mentioned any physical abuse.

First photo's loaded.

Alan, we received some
photos the other day...

Disturbing photos... And
we'd like your thoughts.

This first picture is of Sarah.

Were you aware Oscar may
have assaulted your sister?

I always, uh...

suspected things were
worse than Sarah admitted.

But she told me she
wanted to make the marriage work.

Sarah may have been
committed to her marriage.

It doesn't seem like Oscar
shared that same commitment.

Alan, do you think
Oscar Keaton is guilty?

Yes.

- I do.
- ?[Scoffs]

Oscar Keaton killed my sister.

Julia: Let's go to commercial.

Alan, thank you for being here tonight

and sharing your thoughts.

We'll be right back.

Man: And we're clear.

Where are we at with those photos?

I need to know who sent them.

I've been working on it,

but without a return
address I hit a wall.

Do you have, uh, the
envelope they came in?

Yeah, it's on my desk. Why?

Let me take a shot at it.

Okay. Go for it.

But keep me posted.

Hey, were you watching the show?

Yeah... Headed to see Oscar now.

Ella is tracking social media.

The hash tag "OscarIsGuilty" is trending.

What are you gonna do?

Well, I guess that depends on
how Oscar answers my questions.

Great show tonight. The
clips are already running.

What do we got for tomorrow?

They found the black box

from the missing Euphrates Air flight.

How about a round table?

By tomorrow, a dozen
round tables will have aired.

I'm close to landing the astronaut story.

But it won't be an exclusive.

"The Today Show" already booked her.

I've got a source...

He heard that David Baxter,

the U.S. solder captured in
Afghanistan, was beheaded.

Damn.

There may be video tomorrow.

I hope you're wrong, but if you're not,

we'll edit it and put it on the air.

No. I don't want to air it.

I'll make sure it's vetted.

Julia, I'd rather not.

What else do we have?

Let's wait and see what we get tomorrow.

Thanks.

Hey, could you spot me 100 bucks?

I'm meeting the girls at a strip club.

I want to make it rain.

I think I've got some 20s in my desk.

No singles?

Drew, Erin... Work the overnights.

I want new ideas in the morning.

Hey, boss. What's up?

Uh... I just got a call from a friend

at St. Michael's Hospital.

Trinity was found unconscious

after his concert at
the L.A. Sports Center.

Oh, my God.

Found him in his dressing
room, possible stroke.

He's in a coma.

Whoa.

I want to run a
tribute segment tomorrow.

No, he's not a segment...
He's a whole show.

The guy got his first Grammy at 16.

His worldwide tour drew
bigger crowds than Bono.

There's only a handful of artists

that have influenced
fashion and culture like Trinity.

And I'm sure I'll hear all of that

on every other news network.

So find me something no one else has.

Mm.

How could you let Alan say
all that stuff about me on LHL?

You're supposed to protect
me from crap like that!

And where did they get
those photos in the first place?

I don't know, and it doesn't matter.

When Julia first showed them
to me, I said the same thing.

So you knew about the
photos and you didn't say anything?

[Exhales sharply]

You haven't been sober
enough to discuss much of anything.

Besides, a real man...

doesn't hit his wife.

Happened one time.

Find yourself another lawyer.

No, Jake... It was five years ago, okay?

I was drunk.

Sarah found out I was having an affair.

With the woman in the photo.

She threatened to leave
me if I didn't straighten up,

so I got sober, I broke off the affair,

and she forgave me.

Jake, I didn't kill Sarah.

You're the only person who can prove it.

As we speak, the
police are getting warrants

to search every inch of your life.

Any secrets... They will find them.

I can't protect you if I
don't know what's coming,

so what else is out there
that could bias the public?

Nothing.

[Sighs]

I swear.

Everyone has secrets.

What don't you want me to know?

It's not illegal.

I've been having an online relationship

for the past couple of months.

You've been sexting with a stranger?

It wasn't just about sex, okay?

We talked about, you know,

things, problems at home, at work.

What's her name?

Her screen name is... SweetVicki.

I don't know her real name.

I need to talk to her
before the media tracks her down.

Where can I find her?

I don't know. We've never met.

That's the whole point.

Do you have pictures
of her on your laptop?

There's a file called "Third
Quarter Projections."

Okay.

I hate myself for the
way I treated Sarah.

You're not alone.

Julia: Fine. Thanks for letting me know.

"Good Morning America"
booked Trinity's wife.

I really wanted that interview.

- Julia...
- And get this...

Last year Trinity had a
benefit concert in Ethiopia,

and he offered to pay for the education

of every child at a local orphanage.

I want video of those ki...

You need to see something.

This is from the first side

of Trinity's three-day
benefit here in L.A.

[Keyboard clicks]

Why am I watching this?

Trinity raped that woman.

Where'd you get this?

The victim.

She's a friend of a friend.

She's reliable.

We can't do a tribute.

We can't praise this
man. He's a monster.

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

Woman: Few performers command the crowds

that music legend Trinity draws.

As vigils continue, his
wife Jasmine speaks.

My husband Trinity is a fighter.

[Cheers and applause]

I've known that since the day we met,

and that is how I know he'll wake up.

Okay, now watch this.

...that what you give to
others will be given back to you.

I keep thinking this can't be real.

Trinity's always
been one of the good guys.

Is he really this cocky son of a bitch

who think he can get
away with sexual assault?

What's the victim's name?

I can't tell you.

We can air the footage as
long as she's not identified.

Where did she get the tape?

No idea.

We're gonna run with it, right?

Get a forensic video expert

to verify that this
footage has not been altered,

and get a neurologist to make sure

that this woman is
actually unconscious and not acting.

If those two things check out...

...we'll air it tonight.

...he could be there for me.

Thank you... for being here now for him.

[Cheers and applause]

Thank you.

[TV shuts off]

Alan.

Thank you for taking my call.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

[Exhales sharply] You're kidding, right?

You're defending Oscar.

The only reason I'm here

is you said you wanted
to talk about my sister.

Okay. Fair enough. Have a seat.

I studied a case in law school.

A doctor was falsely accused

of killing his wife in their home,

even though he swore another man did it.

The police rushed to judgment,

the husband was convicted
and spent 12 years in jail

before the real killer was found.

[Exhales sharply] Yeah.
It was turned into a movie.

I've seen "The Fugitive."

Nobody even looked for the real killer,

because the whole world had already
condemned the husband.

You keep stoking the
media fires against Oscar,

and Sarah's real
killer will never be caught.

Yeah, nice try, but I'm
not gonna stop talking.

I don't want you to stop.

I want you to get out there every day

and remind people that
an amazing woman's life

was tragically cut short.

Just don't encourage the police

to limit their search to one man,

'cause as hard as it
may be for you to accept,

Oscar did not kill Sarah.

She talked about you sometimes.

You broke her heart.

And for that I am eternally sorry.

You really want to help her?

There is nothing I
want more in this world

than to find her killer.

You and me both.

Look, no promises, but
I'll try to focus on Sarah

and not talk about Oscar as much.

Thank you.

[Knock on door]

- Yeah?
- ?[Door opens]

Did you know you could track
down the origins of an envelope

if it's stamped with a
Pitney Bowes postage meter?

- I did not.
- ?Yeah.

So... I tracked the meter
to a Speedy Mail in Burbank,

then convinced the clerk

to show me the
store surveillance footage

from the date of the postage stamp.

How'd you convince him?

Offered him a twenty.

What did the footage show?

Check it out.

That's Levi Young.

He's Oscar's Chief Technology Officer.

Why would he send me photos
incriminating his best friend?

No clue.

Dude clearly doesn't
understand how to be a bro.

I did good, right?

You did great.

[Door opens, closes]

Jake: So, Ella, any luck
finding Oscar's online girlfriend?

We need to talk to
her as soon as possible.

I found the photos Oscar mentioned,

and when I did a reverse
image search this is what came up.

Hmm.

SweetVicki's real
name is Vicki Tolliver.

She's an actress.

I put a call in to her
agent to track her down.

[Sirens wail in distance]

Thanks for coming in, Levi.

I wasn't going to, but
I told Oscar you called

and he asked me to find
out what you wanted.

Have you seen these photos before?

Saw them on your show.

And before that when
you mailed them to me?

Why'd you do that?

I'm leaving.

If you don't talk to me,

I'll assume that you're
trying to sell out your employer.

That's news now that
Oscar's been arrested for murder.

Oscar's my business partner.
I've got no beef with him.

I don't need to prove that to you.

True, but you sent me those
photos for a reason,

and I've got a theory.

With Oscar in jail,

you're the acting
interim CEO of Paraspot.

If the board sees Oscar as a liability,

maybe you'll get the job permanently.

I don't want his job.

Come on the show and say that.

But either way, I'm running the story.

It's your call.

I sent you three photos.

The third one was Sarah in bed

with your friend Jake Gregorian.

If you run a story about me,

I'll take a copy of that
photo to one of your competitors.

It's your call.

See you around.

[Door opens]

[Knock on door]

How'd it go? You putting him on tonight?

No. Not yet.

But I'll figure out some other way.

Julia, we're 10 minutes to air.

Let me guess...
Louise is locked in her office?

No, she's actually early to set.

She's excited about tonight's show.

Let's go.

Tonight... An
update on rock star Trinity.

He remains in a coma at
St. Michael's Hospital.

The entire world has been praying

for the recovery of this man

who has changed lives not
only through his music,

but also through his philanthropic
endeavors.

Go in tighter.

But we have a shocking, exclusive video

that calls into
question the myth of the man.

It's time for the world to decide

whether Trinity is
an icon or a predator.

Cue the video.

This disturbing video,

which appears to depict Trinity

raping an unconscious woman

was captured several nights
ago at the L.A. Sports Center.

Here to discuss its validity

are Neurologist Dr. Gina Matheson

and Forensic Video Expert Stephen Lake.

Let's start with you, Mr. Lake.

We live in a technological age.

We can't always trust what we see.

Is this video authentic?

I can confirm that it's

a continuous recording without edits.

It contains proper metadata

and artifacts at the beginning and end.

This video is the real deal.

Dr. Matheson, let's
talk about the victim.

Obviously, we can't see her face.

Is it possible she's just acting?

She's unconscious, Louise.

How can you be sure?

If you notice her arm,

it's at an unusual and
uncomfortable angle.

The muscles are flaccid.

That's not consistent
with being conscious.

Obviously, I can't say if
drugs or alcohol are responsible

for her altered state.

It doesn't matter. What
we're seeing is real.

This is a heinous crime.

Stop the interview.

Are you kidding? Look
at the phone lines.

- They're all lit up.
- End the segment right now.

I find that highly unlikely...

Louise, good night your
guest and toss to a break.

Dr. Matheson, Mr. Lake,

thank you for being with us tonight

and sharing your insights.

We'll be right back.

Since when do you pull the
plug on one of my stories,

especially one that only we have?

I'm protecting the network.

This is the kind of story

that is gonna generate
buzz and win awards.

And correct me if I'm wrong,

but those are two of the
reasons why you hired me.

Trinity could sue WCN for defamation.

It's not defamation if it's true.

Is that video horrific? Absolutely.

But Trinity is a huge
asset to Pinnacle Enterprises.

That's what this is about, protecting
WCN's parent company?

They own his music catalog.

They're underwriting his current tour.

The video is already out there.

Other news outlets are gonna pick it up.

Not if the video is discredited.

Louise's interview is compelling,

and the evidence is convincing.

Come on, Julia.

During Hurricane Sandy

- an unverified Twitter account posted...
- ?Oh, God!

...that the New York
Stock Exchange was under water

and teeming with sharks.

News outlets actually carried the story.

People will believe
what we tell them to,

and that tape will be ripped to shreds.

Oh, and you're gonna write an apology

for Louise to read at the
top of tomorrow's show.

Forget it. I'm not sorry about anything.

This isn't open to debate.

This is my show, and I'm
gonna produce it as I see fit.

You're a brilliant producer
and an asset to this network,

but you're going to apologize...

or you're fired.

[Door opens]

Wow, you are really
terrible at this game.

Yeah, but I can kick your ass at pool.

Which is why we're playing darts.

Pinnacle's smear
campaign is in full force.

I've already seen two
reports stating the victim

was just some deranged fan

who slapped together a manipulated video

- to slander Trinity.
- [Scoffs]

I was right to air that video.

Then don't apologize.

I want to keep my job.

Then apologize.

Hey, Bru-Dog, can you turn that up?

Yeah, sure.

Woman: ...shocking video
that seems to show Trinity

raping an unconscious
woman was aired earlier today

on "Louise Herrick Live."

As experts debate its authenticity,

his wife, Jasmine Saunders,

has called an
impromptu press conference.

That video is a fake!

[Cheers and applause]

She's good.

Yeah, but it's not an act.

She actually believes he didn't do it.

- Who are you texting?
- Megan.

I want to meet the victim

and convince her to be on the show.

Doesn't she want to remain anonymous?

Yeah, but that video is real.

I don't want her
dismissed as some crazed lunatic.

And Trinity's wife should
hear from the source

that he's a predator.

[Cellphone chimes]

Megan's way ahead of me. The
victim's name is Alexa.

I'm meeting her
tomorrow morning at 9:00.

Megan already talked to her
and explained the situation.

Megan knows you.

Will you come with me?

I think she'll be afraid

of backlash from Trinity's people,

and I want her to feel protected.

Yeah. No problem.

But you got to say it first.

What?

Just say it.

- Jake's the God of Darts.
- ?Ahh.

All hail the God of darts.

Was that so hard?

Boy. Terrible.

Megan went out on a limb
for me with the video,

so I owe her.

That's the only
reason I'm talking to you.

We're hoping you could just...
tell us what happened.

I'm the head of HR at
the L.A. Sports Center,

so it was easy to get a backstage pass.

I've always been a huge fan of Trinity,

and when we met, he was...
He was so down-to-earth.

He said his throat
was sore from the show,

so he invited me to his
dressing room to have some tea.

[Voice breaking] Who says
"No" to an invitation like that?

[Sobs]

I drank a couple sips and...

started feeling woozy.

[Exhales sharply]

The next thing I knew, I woke up alone.

[Sniffles, sobs]

My skirt was ripped and...

hiked up around my hips.

E-Everything hurt.

Did you go to the E.R.?

Yes.

I found out that I had been drugged

with a combination
of, uh, Ketamine and GHB.

[Exhales sharply]

The doctor said that it
was an unusual combo.

I was lucky that it didn't kill me.

Were the police contacted?

[Exhales sharply]

No. [Sniffles]

I didn't want to talk to anyone.

I... I just wanted to go home.

[Exhales sharply]

I sent you that video so the world
would know what happened.

But Megan told me your boss
is making you apologize for it

and say it's a fake?

Yes, but if you come on the show,

we will play your
interview instead of the apology...

no matter the consequences.

[Breathes deeply]

If it was just me, maybe...

What do you mean?

[Sniffles]

I have no memory of what happened.

But I knew that there were
security cameras backstage.

One of the security guards is a friend.

I asked him for the footage,

and he violated
protocol to give it to me.

If that gets out, he'll get fired.

He'd have a beautiful
lawsuit for wrongful termination.

I'll take his case on contingency,

sue for punitive damages.

Okay.

Okay?

I'll do it.

I'll go on the show.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

[Elevator dings]

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey. So, Megan,

it's pretty cool how I
tracked down Levi, right?

I mean, who would have thought
he mailed those photos to Julia?

No one likes a bragger.

But, yes, I was impressed.

It's just too bad Julia

couldn't convince
him to come on the show.

About that... Any chance
you have Levi's home address?

It's in the story file.

Wait... no. Absolutely not.

What?

I know you trespassed onto
the Keaton property.

I know you took that picture of Sarah.

You can't do anything like that again.

Course not. I learned my lesson.

I'm working another angle.

Really?

Hey, you were the one who said

I had to impress
Julia to get ahead, right?

True, but, Ryan, promise me

you're not gonna do anything stupid.

Scout's honor.

That's not the Scout Salute.

It's "Live long and prosper."

If you say so. Thank you.

Hey. Somebody's early.

We're not due at LHL for
another couple hours yet.

I'm not doing the show.

Alexa, look, it's...

it's natural to get nervous.

Now, I'll be in the control
room with Julia the entire time.

You will love Louise.

That's not it. I just...

I can't do it.

Did Trinity's people approach you?

Did they threaten you?

You tell me what
happened, I can help you.

Oh.

They paid you to keep quiet.

I have to go.

[Sighs]

Alexa... Alexa, wait!

Alexa, don't!

Come on! You and I are
going to the valley.

The valley?

Oscar's sexting friend SweetVicki

is shooting a movie in Northridge.

I'll drive.

Okay.

Julia, it's me.

Listen, our friend Alexa...

She just pulled out.

Someone get to her?

Yep. I'm afraid so.

Okay. Thanks for the heads up.

You got it.

I love how big this makes my boobs look.

- Can I wear it on the air?
- [Chuckling] No.

I want to see her in the Mouret.

Sure.

- Alexa's not doing the show.
- What?

Jake thinks Trinity's
people paid her off.

After what she's been
through, I can't judge her.

Do you think she played me?

Do you think she only
agreed to go on the show

so she'd have leverage
for a payday against Trinity?

I don't know, but it doesn't matter.

We still need a new show.

[Sighs] Any word on
the beheading video?

We already rejected that.

And, anyway, Drew's
source hasn't called him back.

Uh, that's stunning. It's a "Yes."

Tell the bookers I want
them in my office in 10.

We have a huge hole in tonight's show,

and there's no way I'm gonna apologize.

I can't.

Take a look at this call log.

Maybe you won't have to.

[Indistinct singing]

Baby, all the dreams we
had for a life together...

I'm sorry. They'll never come true.

One dream still can.

Oh.

Man: Cut!

[Bell rings]

I swear she had legitimate credits.

I believed her as a nurse.

You must be the lawyers.

Yes, I'm Ella Benjamin, and
this is Jake Gregorian.

Hi. We don't want to
take too much of your time.

We, uh... I just wanted to
say how grateful my client is

that your online
relationship has remained private,

and we're hoping it
remains so in the future.

Yeah, sure. Who's your client?

Well, uh, you've been
texting each other for months.

You may know him as Studly Do-Right?

Doesn't ring a bell. Is he a Capricorn?

They do not like people
all up in their business.

Uh, here are some of his texts,

and, uh, pictures you exchanged.

I've never seen that
penis before, sweetie.

I never forget a penis.

- It's a gift.
- I'm confused.

I've got a big online following.

This isn't the first time
somebody pretended to be me

to start an online relationship.

It's classic catfishing.

He's cute, though.

If he wants a date, just
tell him to call me.

[Giggles]

This was a huge waste of time.

Yeah, that's not the problem.

Oscar's been sharing
his deepest, darkest secrets

with someone for months, and...

we have no idea who.

So, are you gonna tell Oscar

his sexting partner isn't
the woman he thinks she is?

Not till I find out the
real identity of SweetVicki. No.

I went back through his laptop.

I couldn't find anything probative.

You know what we need?
Somebody tech savvy...

Somebody who can comb through his texts,

see if there's any way to
ferret out the real sender.

Somebody loyal to Oscar,

somebody who won't disclose

any corporate Intel they might uncover.

Levi.

He won't help you.

You made him look like
a murder suspect on LHL.

Only for a little while.

I'll talk to him.

He doesn't hate me.

Good luck.

[Sighs]

Levi's not home.

What are you doing here?

My job. What are you doing here?

Julia wants Levi back on
the show, but he said no.

Figured I could turn up some dirt
on him so he can't refuse.

And how exactly are you doing
that from outside Levi's house?

Jump in. I'll show you.

Levi's running two Wi-Fi networks.

This one's his corporate
account with a massive firewall,

but this personal network is
begging for my attention.

Wait... You're hacking
into his home computer?

How else am I supposed to help my boss?

I'm in!

This is a terrible idea.

I'm taking initiative.

You're committing a crime.

Potato, po-tah-to.

I can't be a part of this.

Fine by me, but what if I told you

Levi was the one that sent my boss

the photos that LHL aired yesterday?

Sarah abused, Oscar having an affair.

Really? ?Yeah.

Don't you think your boss would love

to get a look at this computer?

[Keyboard clicks]

Downloading now.

How long does this take?

A few more minutes.

I don't understand why
you take chances like this.

Everybody thinks I'm in on
a pass because of my dad.

I got to prove myself.

So... you got a boyfriend?

You did not just ask me that.

What, too personal?

Too weird. You're stealing files...

Not a good time to ask a girl out.

I wasn't asking you out.

Why else would you want to know

whether or not I had a boyfriend?

I like to know things.

[Police siren chirps]

Well, this isn't good.

[Police radio chatter]

You have to stop downloading.

I'm not done.

He's gonna see what you're doing.

- Kiss me.
- ?What?!

Officer: Hey, Romeo.

[Knocking on door]

Over here.

[Exhales sharply] Sorry, sir.

What can I do for you?

Got a call from a neighbor,
said you were casing a house.

No, sir, I was just showing
my girl the kind of house

I'd buy her someday if she forgave me.

What did you do?

I'm an idiot.

It's hard to pick just one thing.

From the looks of that
kiss, she's all in.

Don't screw it up.

Now get out of here.

Yes, sir.

[Exhales sharply]

Cool. 100%.

I'm starving. You want
to get something to eat?

[Engine starts]

[Sighs]

- Where's Julia?
- Already in the control room.

You don't... You don't
have to stand so close to me.

Uh, you're the one standing close to me.

This is my spot. Mine.

Yeah, somebody has some boundary issues.

Julia, breaking news... Trinity's awake.

Hospital hasn't released him yet,

but he's out of the woods.

I'm on it.

Louise, we're gonna add something
to your top of show.

Check your pocket screen.

Moments ago, LHL learned

that Trinity has awakened from his coma.

He will remain under observation,

but his doctors are cautiously
optimistic.

Yesterday, we aired a disturbing video

that showed Trinity sexually assaulting
an unconscious woman.

On behalf of myself and Julia George,

the show's executive producer,

I'd like to offer our
viewers an apology.

Because while that video was shocking,

it didn't tell the whole story.

Tonight, we plan to rectify that error.

After we aired the video,

we received over a dozen calls
from women claiming to have had

non-consensual sexual
encounters with Trinity

that were strikingly
similar to what was broadcast.

So far, five of those
claims have been substantiated.

Tonight, those
victims have come forward.

What the hell are you doing?

Producing the show.

You know, Darin, if, uh,
you don't want this story,

I'm very happy to take those women

to one of your competitors...

Tell their viewers that
WCN is more concerned

with corporate profits
than letting the truth come out.

Look at them.

One of those women could
be your be your wife

or your daughter.

We have the power to make sure

that Trinity doesn't
assault any other women.

That has to be more
important than corporate profits.

...emboldened by that
courage to tell those stories.

If anyone asks, I was out
of the office at a meeting.

Let's start with you.

Tell me about how you first met Trinity.

Woman: It was backstage at a concert.

It's the same way we all met him.

We were fans.

When I saw that tape on your show,

- I couldn't believe it happened to someone else.
- Go to hell.

I hope you rot in jail.

- [Sighs]
- [Door opens, slams shut]

I'd like to thank each
one of my guests tonight

for their honesty and courage.

It's been my honor

to bear witness to your stories tonight.

I hope this is the first
step in justice being served,

and that by telling your stories

you can find some measure of peace.

[ Beep ] Go to a break.

I'll wrap up after this break.

I think drinks are
on you tonight, Jules.

Julia, your guy at the
hospital called you back,

sent you a copy of Trinity's tox screen.

He didn't have a stroke.

Apparently, he was drugged.

Ketamine and GHB.

And with a mix like that, Trinity's
lucky to be alive.

I got to go.

Julia, the beheading video came in.

It's been authenticated,

and standards approved
it with the requisite edits.

Are we the only ones who have this?

Just us.

Trim the top, so we're at 15 seconds,

and when the knife
comes down cut to black.

Got it.

[Beep]

Louise, we're ending the
show with breaking news.

Your teleprompter has fresh copy.

Got it.

Didn't Louise say she
didn't want to air this video?

But it's an exclusive. She loves a scoop.

It's up, Louise.

Man: ...4, 3, 2.

LHL has a breaking-news exclusive

concerning missing
American soldier David Baxter...

now confirmed dead.

Baxter was beheaded by the insurgents

who kidnapped him several weeks ago.

A warning... This footage
has been edited for broadcast

but will still be
upsetting for our viewers.

Don't do this! Please don't!

Please! No, no, no, no!

Let's talk, okay? Let's talk!

Let's talk! What do you want?

What do you want? I can pay
you whatever you want, okay?

Listen, I have a wife. I
have a wife. I have a wife.

Her name is Sofia. A boy. A boy!

[Scream echoes]

Louise, you're on.

Louise?

Updates on this story will be posted

throughout the night on LHL online.

Good night.

Man: And you're clear.

I've got a line on one of
Baxter's platoon mates.

I want him for tomorrow's show.

Both of them are alive. His
mother lives in Alabama.

Hi father's in Houston.

You self-centered little bitch!

Don't you ever do that to me again!

[Knock on door]

Go away.

Julia: Louise, I'm so sorry.

I want to make things right.

Just tell me why you're so mad.

You gotta believe in luck.

What?

When I was a reporter

embedded with the 43rd
Infantry in Afghanistan,

there was a U.N.
interpreter with them... Pascal.

It wasn't his job to
worry about navigation,

but he always carried this compass.

His father had it in Vietnam
and came back in one piece, so...

Pascal said it was his good luck charm.

In the middle of that Godforsaken
place, he told me,

"You gotta believe in luck.

It's what brought us together."

How could I not fall in
love with a man like that?

One day, I went to a
forward operating base

with a combat team.

Pascal tossed me his
compass so I'd be safe.

And I was.

But he was taken hostage
by insurgents that night.

They beheaded him.

[Compass claps shut]

Why didn't you tell me that?

Honestly [sighs]

you've always been a little judgmental

where my personal life's concerned.

That is not true.

You think I'm just some ditzy party girl

when I'm not on the air.

You never thought to ask me why?

Why the booze? Why the drugs?

Why the endless parade of men?

If you weren't so
busy looking down on me,

you'd understand.

Life is short,

and I don't believe in luck anymore.

I believe in distraction.
I believe in work.

I don't want to think about Pascal

kneeling in some filthy
room begging for his life!

You took that away from me tonight.

Louise, I'm so sorry.

[Chuckles] How many
years have we worked together?

Eight.

How many times have I asked
you not to run a story?

Once.

Once.

I get the show
always comes first, but...

this one time,

[Voice breaking] I
was hoping our friendship

would be more important.

[Knock on door]

You ready to go?

[Clears throat ]

Hell, yeah.

It's way past margarita time.

- Mm-hmm.
- [Laughs]

[Door closes]

[Door bell chimes]

[Dog barks in distance]

[Sighs] Hi, Alexa.

You know, Trinity was drugged

with a cocktail of Ketamine and GHB.

It's the same combination
you ingested, right?

I'm guessing you're
not surprised by that.

May I come in?

Now, I'm here to help you,

but I have to ask, did you drug him?

Alexa, I'm your lawyer now.

I can't reveal anything you say to me.

When I looked at the security footage,

I saw Trinity put the drugs in my tea,

saw how he waited until
I was unconscious before...

...I watched myself get ra-raped.

I hated feeling like some
helpless victim, so...

I went backstage the next
night to confront him.

When I got there, half a dozen women

were partying in his dressing room,

and it hit me...

He didn't care what he had done to me.

[Sniffles]

He was too busy picking the next girl.

So I pulled the fire
alarm and ended the party.

I couldn't follow
him around the country,

so on the last night
of his L.A. concerts...

I spiked his tea.

I thought I used enough to kill him,

but he didn't die.

And then every news
station started running stories

about Saint Trinity.

I couldn't take it.

So, you sent Megan the video?

He had to be stopped.

But, you see, Alexa, I'm... I'm confused.

I'm pretty sure you took
money not to go on the air.

I did, but the money isn't for me.

I plan to use it to support

other women who want to sue Trinity.

Could you help me with that?

Trinity will be going to
jail, but we can sue his estate.

Yeah. I like that.

Wait. Trinity didn't pay me off.

Who did?

Pinnacle.

WCN's parent company. Hmm.

[Scoffs] They were
protecting their asset.

Well, Alexa,

that's not going to work
out too well for them, is it?

Nothing here seems blackmail-worthy.

No bizarre fetishes, nothing spankable.

Nobody can be this boring.

Check that folder
marked "Family Photos."

No.

Next.

Well, what's this?

[Sighs]

That's the woman Oscar was sexting.

But that doesn't make any sense.

Why would Levi have the same photo?

Maybe they were all friends.

Oscar said he never met her.

Let's check Levi's chat history.

Whoa.

Didn't see that one coming.

Oscar: That's her. That's SweetVicki.

You found her?

Yes and no.

That's a picture of SweetVicki,

but you haven't been
texting with that woman.

I don't understand.

You've been texting with Levi Young.

He was pretending to be SweetVicki.

That's not funny.

No. No, it's not.

And why would he do that?

He's my friend. He's
my business partner.

I've known the guy since
we were 8 years old.

He was catfishing you, Oscar.

Why would he do that?

I don't know.

But I promise you this...

I am damn sure gonna find out.

Hey, Julia, it's me. Happy birthday.

It's not my birthday.

Merry Christmas.

It's not even December.

Suppose I were to combine the gifts

of every gift-giving holiday into
one spectacular mega-gift?

Don't tell me.

Another client paid
you with a racehorse?

Even better. Picture this...

Tomorrow, LHL, an exclusive.

With who?

Oscar Keaton.

The prison interview.

You're serious?

Absolutely.

You never have to give
me another gift again.

[Chuckles]
