[CAR ENGINE REVVING]

[CICADAS CHIRPING]

You always this early?

MAN 1:
Only when I'm concerned.

Any word from your ex?

I'm sure that filing
a restraining order

is not gonna sit very well
with him.

He is an unpredictable man.

Judge isn't gonna risk doing
anything to lose his bench.

Jealousy is a devilish emotion.

[PERSON PANTING]

You spoil me.

Once my divorce is finalized.

I'll spoil you forever.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

You expecting someone?

Not that I know of.

[CICADAS CHIRPING]

Stop the harassment
or I will call the cops.

You hear me, Halstead?

[GASPS]

Oh! You scared me.

Come inside.
Don't let him ruin our night.

Jacob.

Jacob, no!

MAN 2 ON TV:
Judge and Jury, this Friday
9:00 p.m. central.

MAN 3:
And Judge Halstead
never actually

admitted to the murder.

Yet you seem to get
a conviction based on

circumstantial evidence.

WOMAN 1:
Mm-hmm.

Which leaves an air
of innocence, wouldn't you say?

Well, I-- I do want to say that
whoever wrote this scene

took some creative license.

It wasn't jealousy

that caused him
to go back to her house.

It was the restraining order
that she was set to file

the next day that would have
damaged his reputation

and career.

Mm.

Now do you think this being
your first case,

-...you pushed too hard...
-[CHUCKLES]

...for the conviction
instead of

looking at the lack
of physical evidence?

Uh, well, it's not up to me
to decide the guilt.

That's for the jury

and they decided that
he was guilty, so.

Now your father was chief
of police at this time.

Yes.

Did he help you with the case
in any way?

He did not.

Now it's rumored he
and the judge didn't get along.

Well, he knew what kind of man
the judge really was

and that's all I'm going to say.

Well, that's
a very broad statement.

What kind of man is that?

A man who murders his wife.

[DALE INHALES]

Right if you've somehow
proven innocent,

how would you feel?

He wasn't innocent.

Well, some think he was.

Name one person
who thought he was.

Well, our producers took a poll
after a local screening

of the TV movie.

60% of those that watched
the movie thought

he was likely innocent.

Yes, and that's why it's a movie
and not real-life, Dale.

That's a dramatization
and I lived it.

Well, thank you again.

We appreciate your time

and perhaps,
we can do a follow-up

after the movie release.

Absolutely, but I do want
to say that I've just recently

left the DA's office and started
my own private practice

here in town.

-Congratulations.
-Oh, thank you.

That must be very exciting
for you.

It is, it is.

-Uh, one last question.
-Mm-hmm.

So, if some definitive proof
came out that,

that cleared the judge.

Will you come back on this show
and admit you were wrong?

I would, yes I would,
but he is not innocent,

he's not innocent.

And that's the final word.

Thanks for tuning in to another
episode of Real Crime with Dale.

That's me.

PRODUCER:
And we're clear.

[BELL RINGING]

Good job.

Okay, I thought this was going
to be an interview,

not an ambush.

Hey, it's the producers
that push me to have conflict.

-Right?
-[SCOFFS]

No conflict. No drama. No drama.
No ratings. No ratings. No show.

Well, maybe that would be
a good thing.

Oh, hey, listen,
I'm on your side.

Okay, I am team Holly.

Alright, to prove it.

I'd love to ask you
out to dinner.

Thank you, but I don't mix
business with pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh my God.

What a disaster.

You haven't been out on a date
in five years.

My favorite talk show host
asked you out and you said, no.

Oh, hey.

-Thank you.
-Oh, thanks.

Uh, I need a--
a pen.

Duh.

Did you watch
what just happened?

Mm-hmm.

What about that made you think,

"Oh, these people should do
this again, but with food."

Honey, you knew it was gonna be
a tough interview.

Yeah, and I don't want
to go on a tough date.

He isn't just anyone,
he's smart.

He's successful.

-Here you go, ma'am.
-Thank you.

Super good-looking.

Well, he obviously
asked out the wrong woman.

Maybe I should set
the two of you up.

No.

I think he only has eyes for you

and I'd just like to see you
open yourself up

to that possibility.

Before you work yourself
to death.

What are you talking about?

I love my work.

I know, you're amazing at it.

But now with the new practice,

there might be room
in your life for something new.

I just bought a new ficus
for the front office.

I meant something fun.

-Is this an intervention?
-No.

This is me telling you
to go on that date.

-Do it.
-No.

-Do it for me.
-Oh, don't even, stop it.

-Just do it, he's right there.
-No, Carla. Stop it. Stop it.

Stop it, stop it!

Thanks.

Do it for me, please.

Ah, uh.

Mr. Jones? Dale.

[COUGHS]

Yes.

The answer to the last
question is, yes.

That's fantastic.

Uh, I'll call you later,
set somethin' up.

Great.

Okay, here's the deal
if this turns out

to be a horror show.

You're never allowed to meddle
in my private life again.

Got it?

-Understood.
-Good.

[PERSON PANTING]

You know me agreeing
to go on this date with him.

It's officially
Stockholm syndrome.

He's officially cute
and I'm officially jealous.

What are you jealous of?

You have good-looking guys
beating down your door

every single day.

Nope, I finally found one
that I really like.

Really?

Yeah, he's broke and he's weird.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

Aww.

Alright.

Great job today.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Killed it.

Worst interview ever.

CARLA:
No, awesome.

[DALE LAUGHING]

DALE ON PHONE:
Hey, sorry,
I had to hurry off earlier.

You know, it's so hectic
in show business.

You know, actually, I--
I gotta rush off right now.

But how does
tomorrow night work?

Oh, yeah,
tomorrow night's good.

Yeah,
we'll get it over with.

I mean,
tomorrow night's great.

[KEYS JINGLE]

You look like
you need this today.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah, uh, I was attacked
last night.

What? where?

Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It was at my house, and I don't
think they wanted me dead.

They tasered me from behind.

I woke up and I found this note.

"Your turn to lose someone."

Holly,
that's a pretty clear threat.

What did the police say?

I didn't tell them yet.

Well, we need to call them now.

Yeah, I know, I just
I feel like this--

whoever did this wants me
to report it.

Like they want to freak me out
and get attention.

I think this has to do
with the interview last night

with the Halstead case.

Well, will you at least
call your father?

You can't let this slide,
you know, it's important.

HOLLY:
I know, but I don't want him
to be upset

that he isn't on his game
as he used to be.

When it rains,
it pours with you.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER
IN BACKGROUND]

I know you hated being
on the show,

but at least 27 voicemails
on the company line

and four of them
sounded like legit clients.

Well, you think
these legit clients

are gonna want to walk
into a construction zone.

I've been hounding the painters,
they're coming in on Friday.

[KNOCKING]

-Hi.
-Hi.

I'm so sorry to bother,
but you look so familiar to me.

Do I know you from anywhere?

-Or I just--
-Are-- are you from here?

New Orleans actually,
I just moved recently.

Wow.

Yeah, I used to go
to the Jazz Fest every year

with my dad.

Now, that is a fantastic event.

I've been there
loads of times myself.

But did your mom
not enjoy jazz or--

Uh, she did like jazz,
but she uh--

she died very young.

Would you roll those calls out?

But you-- you may have seen
her last night on TV.

Real Crime with Dale?

That's exactly what it is.

I was watching that
while I was working.

That is you.

So sorry,
you had to watch that.

CARLA:
Mystery solved.

Uh?

Theodore.

Or Theo is fine.

Dalrymple.

Carla Fuentes, Holly Powell.

Pleasure.

THEO:
Well, the pleasure is mine.

Believe me,
uh, being new here

I could desperately
use a tour around town

if you feel like being
a guide ever, I'm--

Oh, yeah, it's just,
it's not a good time

right now for me.

It's just starting
this new firm and...

Of course, no.

No, I--
I shouldn't have bothered.

It's uh, nice to meet you both,

but I tell you what, um,
change your mind.

I'll just leave that there.

No harm. No foul.

See ya.

I really think last night

is a bigger deal
than you're letting out.

It's fine. I'm fine.

I-- I have-- I'll handle it.

I'm okay.

Thank you.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello.

HOLLY ON PHONE:
Hey, dad. Are you busy?

Oh, never too busy
to talk to you.

Okay. Well, I-- I don't want
you to freak out,

but um, I-- I was assaulted
last night.

HOLLY'S DAD ON PHONE:
What? Nobody from the station
called me.

Are you okay?

Dad, I--
I didn't call the police.

What? Why not? What happened?

I-- I-- I was tasered
and um, whoever did it.

They-- they left a note.

Well, I'm gonna send
Barnes over there

-...and he'll be there shortly.
-Dad.

Please not right now.

I-- I have a full day.
I just started this firm.

It's a bad time right now.

I'm at least sending you
a gun over.

No, absolutely not.

You know how I feel about guns.

That's why I took self-defence.

Well, how did that work out
last night?

Well, dad the gun
wouldn't have helped either.

Okay, listen,
I'm only calling,

because I don't want you
to worry.

I want you to know
that I'm okay.

Please don't rush over here.
Okay?

HOLLY'S DAD ON PHONE:
I'm still sending over Barnes.

I may be a retired cop,
but I am not a retired father.

I know. Okay, fine.

Just have him come over
at the end of the day. Okay?

Alright, dear.
Whatever you like.

I love you.

Bye-bye.

A-yai-yai.

Geez.

I really wish
you'd called me earlier.

I mean, there's really
not much to go on here.

I could go to your house
tomorrow and have a look around.

Oh, thank you, detective.

Yes, I know
I should have called.

I think I was just in shock.

Uh, understandable,
but by the looks of it,

this isn't over. Alright?

You guys stay aware.
Stay safe. Okay?

Thank you, detective.

You want to stay
with me tonight?

Oh, no, no, I'm fine.

I really don't feel like going
on this date tonight.

That's for sure.

Well, you can cancel
or take a rain check.

No, no, then it's just one
more appointment

I'm dreading instead
of getting it over with.

Oh, stop.

It's a date not a root canal.

You deserve to have a life
outside of your job.

You've taken a huge risk
starting this firm

and if you don't take some time
to yourself to enjoy it,

then really what's it all for?

I feel happier
when I'm too busy to think.

I think.

Call me after.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER
IN BACKGROUND]

[♪♪♪]

-Hey!
-Oh!

-Oh, I'm so sorry.
-Oh God.

-I'm so sorry I'm late.
-Dale!

Why, you look lovely.

[STUTTERS]

The producers wanted me
to interview Judge from the jail

and we're busy
cutting red tape and--

-It's fine. It's fine.
-Okay.

-Are you hungry?
-I'm starving.

I just really always
wanted to know

what other people didn't,
right?

I mean, I-- I actually
become obsessed with this.

I drove my teachers crazy.

Man, it was so hard to pick
a major in college.

But anyway,
I got in a radio

and I started a show
on campus.

Uh, Crimes on Campus.

[CHUCKLES]

We actually solved a bunch
of assaults and some thefts

and uh, we actually took down
a little drug ring

and that's when I knew
I was hooked.

And so, you know, I stayed
in radio another dozen years.

But you know ever since
I'm just trying to get on TV,

which is so hard to do.

I mean there are so many shows
out there about real crime.

HOLLY:
There are so many out there.

There are,

and that's why we came
down here, right,

small network, local stations,
zero budget.

But after a year on air,

we got picked up by
the National Affiliate.

Hmm.

Sounds like it really
worked out for you.

It-- it really kind of has.

Didn't work out so well for me.

Look, I'm-- it wasn't me,
right?

I mean if I ask the questions
the producers want me to ask,

you would be hating me
right now.

I was attacked after
your show last night.

[DALE CLEARS THROAT]

DALE:
Oh.

Like social media,
I mean, it's pretty bad.

I hate it.

I was physically attacked.

Are you okay?

You don't think it had
anything to do with the piece

we ran, do you?

HOLLY:
Uh, I don't know.

Halstead isn't the first person
I've sent to prison.

He's just the most famous.

DALE:
Well, I didn't make the movie.

I mean I didn't write it.

That's the producers,
that's the network.

They just want us
to run a piece on it,

you know to promote it,
right.

And that's you know, they paid.

[INDISTINCT SPEECH]

Well, everyone's got
to make a living.

You said it.

Are you gonna finish that,
because this is amazing.

Hey, hey, tell you what?
Let me walk you to your car.

Oh gosh, no,
you do not have to do that.

Seriously,
I parked right there.

Oh, Holly, I would--

[CHUCKLES]

Listen I get it.
I talk a lot when I get nervous.

No, no, don't be silly.

-You're fine.
-I do.

Listen if you go out
with me again,

I promise you could
put the mute button on me.

-Just like-- Boop.
-Oh.

Oh, no,
you know I'm so busy.

I've just opened up
a new firm.

-Hold on, hold on.
-Oh, okay.

It's my producer.
Hey, hold on one second.

I'm trying to find out
if this very beautiful woman

will go out with me
one more time. Hold on.

I'm about to get an answer.

Um, I'll call you.

-Okay. Awesome.
-Okay.

She said yes.

Got you.

Well, hey there.

Oh, hey.

So you barely got a word
in edgewise at dinner,

you have got the patience
of a saint.

[CHUCKLES]

Yes, uh well,
that's why I hate dating.

Ah, I'm generally too busy
to date myself.

Me too.

Oh, we have that in common.

Yeah.

Alright then.
Well, stay stafe.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing in particular.

Just a courtesy, I suppose.
How about goodnight?

-Is that better?
-I'm sorry.

They're-- they're both fine.

[CHUCKLES]

Goodnight, Theo.

Yeah.

A small town.
I'm sure I'll see you around.

HOLLY ON PHONE:
Well, he put me on the spot

and I stupidly agreed
to another date.

CARLA:
Well, he said he was nervous.

You know, that happens
even to really smart,

successful,
and attractive guys.

HOLLY ON PHONE:
I'd say he was
really self-obsessed.

And dimwitted himself.

Oh my God.

Just tell me
how you really feel.

HOLLY:
Was that too harsh?

No, he's harmless.

Okay. I-- I just--
I just think after last night,

I just don't want to be around
a guy for a while, you know?

CARLA ON PHONE:
Well, how do you know
it was a man who attacked you?

HOLLY ON PHONE:
That's a fair point.

Oh, by the way,
I bumped into Theo at the bar.

Oh. I need details.

HOLLY ON PHONE:
Well, I think I scared him off
actually,

but it's probably for the best.

Okay, I'm home now
safe and sound.

I'm staying on the phone
with you until you get inside.

Alright?

HOLLY:
That is very sweet,
but you don't have to do that.

You do not have to sit
on the phone.

I'm sure you have better
things to do than phone-sit me.

Nope, I ordered takeout,
I'm gonna watch some old movies

and have a self-care night.

Plenty of time to make sure
my boss friend is safe.

You are very hard to argue with,
I'll give you that

and that's high praise
coming from a lawyer.

CARLA ON PHONE:
So, tell me more about Theo.

Well, there's nothing
to tell really, I just saw him

and you know, that was it.

CARLA ON PHONE:
I don't know, Holly.

Maybe having a guy around
right now wouldn't be

such a bad thing.

I'm just saying.

No, see that's exactly
why I took self-defence.

So I wouldn't need a man around.

Got it?

Okay, I'm in, all is well.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Alright, girl.
See you tomorrow.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh.

-There you go.
-Thanks.

[GASPS]

[ZAPPING]

Hey Carla, can you pull
all my old notes

from the Halstead case

and my DA case files
that ended in convictions

under Halstead?

I want to go through
everything page by page!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[SNIFFS]

Ugh.

CARLA ON VOICEMAIL:
Hey,
it's Carla leave a message.

Hey, sorry about that.

Um, ever since that
damn interview,

crazy stuff's been happening.

I'll tell you when I see you.

Hey, where are you?

Huh? You always pick up.

[GASPS]

Oh my God.

Carla?

JAMES ON VOICEMAIL:
Hi, this is James Powell,
leave a message.

[BEEP]

Hey dad, uh, my office
has been trashed,

um, I'm gonna go
to Carla's place.

So just call me when you can.

[BEEP]

[KNOCKS]

Carla, it's me Holly.

Carla?

[PHONE RINGING]

CARLA ON VOICEMAIL:
Hey, it's Carla.
Leave a message.

[♪♪♪]

HOLLY:
Okay, dad.

Listen, my-- my office
was ransacked

and Carla's disappeared.
I went to her apartment.

Her front door was wide open
and I found her phone

on the floor.

So if I text you her address,
can you send Barnes

over to have a look?

JAMES ON PHONE:
Sure, but I'm in
a meeting right now.

Oh okay, if you're in the middle
of something, dad, I--

JAMES ON PHONE:
No, no, no,
come by the golf club.

Alright. Okay.

-I'll see you there.
- See you in a moment, bye.

[♪♪♪]

[DOOR SQUEAKING]

[GRUNTS]

JAMES:
Right.

Now-- now this is the area,

the old guys are always
squawking about this.

-But come on.
-Yeah, right.

-Yeah.
-Exactly.

-Hi, you know my dad?
-Hey--

Yeah.

-James is your dad?
-Yes. He is.

What?

That is a small world.
Well, we just met recently.

Actually, I-- I bought
the golf course and the resort.

Well, myself
and some investors did,

but we're uh, changing out
nine holes for some new houses

and he's helping me redesign
the golf course.

Doing an amazing job,
by the way.

I'm-- I'm so sorry.

Dad, can I borrow you
for a minute outside?

Well, yeah.

Oh, no, no, no, please, please
both of you stay here.

And uh, I--
I will excuse myself.

I have some other things
that I have to attend to,

but uh, amazing
to see you Holly,

such a small world.

-It is.
-Huh.

Well, uh.

I don't like any of this.

That note said, I was gonna
lose someone

and now Carla is missing.

JAMES:
Let's not get ahead
of ourselves.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Um, yes.

His, um--

Did I even ask his name?

Oh my God.

I'm such a terrible friend.

If the person who attacked you
is a serious threat,

you need to arm yourself
or come stay with me.

Dad, I have a list a mile long
of murderers, bank robbers.

Any of them could have a grudge.

The thing that separates this
from the rest of them

is the timing,

this has to be related
to the Halsted case.

Is there anyone else
that you can think of?

Any family?

I don't know, dad.

We're just work buddies.

We all end up sharing more hours
of life with our co-workers

than our loved ones.

I tried hard to make you
priority number one.

Especially after your--
your mother died.

What are you talking about?

You were a incredible
chief of police

and you were a great dad.

You are a great dad.

JAMES:
Maybe there's something
at the office.

Hmm?

Barnes is there now,
looking around.

Let's go by.

[GRUNTS]

CARLA:
Help.

Help me.

[TASER ZAPPING]

CARLA:
Who are you?

[PANTING]

You ever wonder what happens
to the families of those that

you send to prison?

[TASER ZAPPING]

Especially, the innocent ones.

You know, my mother
was a criminal,

my father took pity on her,
he got her an apartment.

He took care of her
and when I was born,

he took care of me, too.

Now,
why would he risk everything

to not watch me grow up.

He loved me very much.

And when he was sent to jail,

my mother went back
to prostitution

and she died on the streets.

And I was left for the system,
no mother, no father.

Now just like Holly
took everything away from me.

I am gonna take everything
away from her

one little step at a time.

Do you understand me?

-Good.
-[ZAPS]

Now feel free to scream
as much as you wish.

No one can hear you down here.

Hey.

-Quite the day you've had.
-Yeah.

So I found this outside
of Carla's apartment.

She never took it off.

That could be nothing.

Well, it could be something.

Oh boy, this is really personal.

No alarm system?

No, we haven't turned it on yet.

-You moved in here a week ago?
-Yep.

Look, there's not a lot
to go on here.

And I noticed that, uh,
in your past cases

you put a lot of bad guys
behind bars.

You know, a lot of them
are out now.

Yeah, and now my paralegal's
missing, Carla Fuentes.

That's who I'm worried about.

-She-- she had a boyfriend.
-BARNES: Yeah.

Could you maybe not go
through the crime scene

and wait for forensics
to get here?

Thomas.

Thomas, that's his name.

She said they were going
to Mexico this summer.

Right, right.

Maybe we can uh, go by--

Go by his house.

If he has anything to do
with Carla's disappearance,

we don't want him
making any moves.

You know what else
is missing, the Halstead files.

Well, now we can safely say
it's all connected.

Do we even bother
with the boyfriend then?

You can just say you're going
by his house

to check on a friend.

Nothing more than that.

Good idea. I'll drive.

Come on, dad.

Help!

Somebody help me!

Help!

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKING]

I'm pretty sure I arrested
someone here a few years ago.

I miss working with you, James.

[CHUCKLES]

[WHIMPERS]

[CLANKING]

Can I help you?

[GRUNTS]

This is my house,
what are you doing?

Are you Thomas?

You're trespassing.

-BARNES: Hey, take it easy.
-You take it easy.

-Are you Thomas?
-Yes!

-You're Carla's boss, right?
-Yeah.

I recognize you from the show.

When did you see Carla last?

-Night before last.
-Oh, yeah.

No, uh night before that
I guess.

-Why?
-Because we can't find her.

That's why.

What's in the shed?

I just rent the place.

What are you saying?
You can't find Carla?

What's in this shed, Thomas?

Are y'all crazy y'all think
I have her locked in a shed?

We just want to take a look.

Oh, God.

[♪♪♪]

Satisfied?

It's a start.

Look, I love Carla.

Alright?

So, you can check the whole
house if you want, whatever.

BARNES:
Here, look, take my card.

Check and see
if anybody's seen her.

Alright?

But don't put anything online
until we give you the okay.

You got it?

JAMES:
Look, if anyone's life
is in danger,

we don't want anyone to panic,
okay?

-You think she's in danger?
-We don't know.

No, we don't know that,
we just can't reach her.

Does Carla have any enemies
or any ex-boyfriends

we could visit?

None that I can think of.

I mean she was always so busy
with work.

I'm the first
serious relationship

she's had in years.

We're gonna find her, okay?

BARNES:
They're finished with the
forensics at the office.

-I'm gonna take you there.
-Got it.

Let's go.

[♪♪♪]

Please, God help me.

Please.

[WHIMPERING]

Ah.

Detective, it'd be nice not
to publicize this.

If the media gets a hold of it,
it could be really bad for us.

Police tape
is standard procedure.

Come on, I'll walk you
back to your car.

Look, I'm gonna go check
on things.

I'll call you
if I find anything. Alright?

-Thank you.
-Alright.

Okay.

JAMES:
I still think you ought to stay
with me until we find Carla.

HOLLY:
Dad, I know
it's not gonna be easy

to understand this,
but I can't go there.

I have to--
I don't want this guy,

whoever's doing this to--
to frighten me

out of my own house.

JAMES:
I still have a spare gun
in my truck.

HOLLY:
Oh God, no, dad.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

But no.

Alright. Okay.

I'm-- I'm sorry darling.

It's just that,
I guess I'm the coward.

-What?
-I'm scared.

I don't know

Oh, dad.

With you gone, if anything

Oh.

I'd be lost for a while. I know.

Alright, I'll make sure nobody
gets rough with you at all

Hey, nobody is getting rough

I'm gonna make sure of that.
Okay?

-Yes.
-Yes.

Yeah, oh, I know strong, steady

It's your time to shine.

As long as you cooperate,
I don't need to go find out

whether or not your boyfriend,
Thomas,

enjoys his alcohol
as much as Detective Barnes did.

CARLA:
Why are you doing this?

I didn't have anything
to do with the Halstead case

and my boyfriend had nothing
to do with it either.

Oh, oh, oh, so exciting.

Listen if you cooperate,
he will get out of this alive.

You understand me?

I am going to call the Dale show
and you are gonna read

this note.

I'll do whatever you want.
Please don't hurt, Thomas.

Oh, I won't hurt Thomas
as long as you cooperate.

Okay? It's gonna be okay.

Alright,
let's call the Dale show.

Yes.

HOTLINE VOICE ON PHONE:

Leave your tip at the beeper.

My name is Carla Fuentes.

I work with Holly Powell.

Currently afraid for my life
and in hiding.

Holly is not
who she pretends to be.

[CAR HORN HONKING IN DISTANCE]

Yes, hello?

HOLLY ON PHONE:
Dad, I'm so sorry
to tell you this.

- Barnes is dead.
-What?

Oh.

What happened?

I-- I don't know.
It looks like suicide.

He's in my driveway
and I don't know what to do.

JAMES ON PHONE:
Alright, dear.

Alright, we'll be there
as soon as possible. Alright?

Okay.

[BEEP]

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,

I just have some family
emergency come up,

so I'm gonna have to go
and take care of it.

I'm sure you'll be fine here,
alright.

James. James. James. Hold on.

Look, this can wait,
family can't.

I'm coming with you.

[SNIFFLES]

[CELLPHONE RINGING]

Oh.

[BEEP]

What is it, Dale?

DALE ON PHONE:
Oh, that was curt.

Well, it's not been
a good morning.

Can I help you with something?

Listen, I wondered
if you want to comment

on a story
we're running tonight.

Your former paralegal
Carla Fuentes

left a message on our hotline.

What?

Is-- is she okay?

Where is she?
Did she say who took her?

Well, she said that
she has proof

you've been falsifying evidence

dating all the way back
to Judge Halstead.

That's ridiculous.

There's no truth
to that whatsoever.

She's obviously speaking
under duress.

And if you go with that story,
Dale, I will sue your ass

to hell and back.

Do you hear me?

CARLA ON RECORDING:
My name is Carla Fuentes,

I work with Holly Powell,
currently afraid for my life

and in hiding.

Holly is not who she pretends
to be and has falsified evidence

for years starting with
the infamous Halstead trial.

She goes on to talk about you
blackmailing Detective Barnes.

Your father's involvement.

It's-- it's--
it's really ugly, Holly.

Okay, listen to me right now.

Not one word of that is true,
Dale.

Obviously, someone's trying
to frame me here.

I'm afraid it's my duty
to play it, Holly.

She left the message
for a reason

and I intend to find out why.

Okay, alright, you know what,
why don't you play

the rest of it?

What else was she forced to say?

Play it all, Dale.

Well, you'll have to tune in
tonight to find out.

You'll be very excited
to see who we have on live

from prison.

Oh, are you gonna interview
Judge Halstead about this?

Dale, this is wrong.

Don't you understand
what you're doing?

Carla also said she'd come
out of hiding as soon

as you and your father
are arrested.

You're gonna regret this.

Is that a threat?

That's a fact, mark my words.

[BEEP]

Bastard.

Bye.

Just got back word
from upstate, Halstead agreed.

The warden hasn't yet.

Apparently, they've become
like bitter enemies.

That's because
he knows he's innocent, Jeff.

And we--

It's-- it's Arty.

Sh-- Arth--

-We are gonna prove it.
-Yeah.

You and me, Jeff.

We're going places.

Never give up.

[SIGHS]

I don't know what
the hell's going on, dad.

Carla called that crime show
with Dale

and left some insane message
about my falsifying evidence

in the Halstead case.

And how you and I are trying
to blackmail Detective Barnes.

And if he plays that message,
then it doesn't matter

what the truth is,
because people will think

we're responsible for this.

And--
and believe everything else.

We'll get to the bottom
of this, I promise.

HOLLY:
I just don't know
what the hell's going on.

Honey, let me have,
you take back-- take--

Take her back to
the country club, will you?

Sure, whatever you need, sure.

-Let me talk to the police...
-HOLLY: No, dad...

I'm staying here
to talk to the police.

And I'll get back to you
right after.

I know.

This is not the first time.

Barnes had issues with alcohol
and depression.

He was fine.

JAMES:
That's all we know at this time.

Dad? Dad?

He was fine yesterday.

Well, he's not fine now, honey.

I have to go over there,
and take a look,

and find out why not.

Okay?

What do you think
this is all about?

I don't know
but this whole thing started

after that Dale interview,
now someone must

have seen it and gotten
triggered by it.

-But who?
-I wish I knew.

Believe me.

I'm just so sorry this happened
to you.

It's just-- it's crazy.
I-- I--

Yeah, it is crazy.

You know who showed up
after that interview aired?

You.

-What does that mean?
-What does that mean?

You tell me?

Nothing.

I just saw the way that James
left the conference room

in such a state and figured
you might need some help--

Why do you want to help us
so much?

Honestly, I-- I don't know,
I just want to.

That so bad?

No.

It's not so bad.

Alright, let's find out
what's going on here?

Ginkgo liquor.

God bless you, old friend.

God bless you.

Grab you an iced tea
or coffee, something.

No, you know I'd rather not be
around people.

I think.

Well, there's a lot more
to this country club

than just the bar,
I can tell you that.

Where else is there to go?

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

I saw a sunset right here
that was so beautiful.

I had to buy this place.

I've never ever been down here.

Never.

Well, my-- my dad wasn't really
into water or boats.

Well...

Yeah, I-- I never really
had a father.

Didn't have a mother,
to be honest.

I had to do everything
on my own.

Which, fortunately for me,
I had a plan.

Oh, yeah, what was your plan?

Well, to build a life that I--

I never thought
that I could have.

You know, to do everything
that I ever dreamed of.

Which, I have accomplished.

Congratulations.

I, on the other hand,
have never left the gulf once.

Well, too much to do.

Never traveled,
last-minute vacations.

No ex-husbands.

No pets, unless you count
feeding a squirrel

in my backyard.

[CHUCKLES]

I think that makes you lucky.

How is that?

For me I've--

I've pretty much done
everything that I set out to do.

So, what adventures
really are there left

for me to have?

You, on the other hand,

every single day
from this moment forward

can be a new
and exciting adventure.

Wow.

Yeah, that's one way
of looking at it.

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna show
you something else.

Um, okay, okay.

Uh, here we are.

-Oh, yeah. Really?
-In there?

THEO:
This is my pet project.

You ready?

There she is.

Yeah, it's the first thing
I bought when I made any money.

I had uh, started a--

a lawn mowing business
when I was a teenager

and it just-- it just took off.

Made a bunch of cash
decided, you know what,

I'm gonna buy myself
an RV and cruise the country.

So, went to this RV dealership
and this baby

was sitting in the back
of the lot

and she just spoke to me,
you know.

I had to have her.

And now?

Well, now I plan on restoring
her to her former glory

and maybe you know, sailing
down to Jamaica

like Errol Flynn.

[CHUCKLES]

[CELLPHONE RINGING]

Oh.

Excuse me, it's my dad.

Hi, dad. Any news?

I just left the scene.

I don't think it was suicide.

I don't either.

Where are you?

I'm following up some leads.

I'll meet you at the club
at 6:00.

-Okay?
-6:00? Okay.

I'll be there.

Dad, please be careful.

That was James, huh?
Everything okay?

Uh, yeah, he's um--
he's gonna meet me here

in a few hours.

Your boat is--
it's really lovely.

It's not as lovely
as some things I've seen,

but she'll do for now.

[BELL RINGS]

What's up, chief?

-How you doing?
-Good.

I need to know,
you sell this man

a bottle of whiskey
in the last few days?

Bro, he looks like every
customer that buys whiskey here.

You store your security
in hard drive or a tape?

Seriously, tape?
Whoever uses tape anymore?

[CHUCKLES]

You'd be surprised.

I only need to see what
you have from yesterday.

Oh.

That's him. That's the man.

It's not Barnes, but whoever
bought it.

That's the man.

So, what did he do?
Did he kill someone?

Where's the other footage?

I need to see his face.
I can't see it.

There is no other footage.

You got cameras
all over the place

and angles from everywhere.

Man, boss man is cheap.

He didn't want to link up
the cameras.

Yes, sir. I understand
the security situation.

That's why I'm only sending
one sound guy, one camera guy,

and I will satellite it
from there and run live

from here in the studio.

Hey? Hey? Where are you going?

We need another hard drive.

Uh, you got a key?

'Cause I need
to get in the storage, and--

No, no, no, I already checked.

There's not one back there.
Just go buy another one.

It's not my money.

I'm sorry about that, Warden.

Listen, I think you
and I can both agree

that Judge Halstead
deserves to be heard.

That's-- that's all
I'm looking for.

Right.

No, sir, you will not be
disappointed.

I promise you that.

Well, thank you, sir,
I appreciate it.

[BEEPS]

We got Halstead!

HOLLY:
Oh, let's see,
my friend is missing.

My law firm is ruins

and some psycho
is stalking me wherever I go.

Did I get it all?

Maybe you need
something stronger.

-How about a bottle of wine?
-No, no, no, no.

If I start now,
I'll never stop.

I've gotta clear my head,

figure out
what the hell I'm missing.

Well, Judge Halstead,
he's been in prison

for decades, right?

I mean who's left
from his family

to even come after you.

JAMES:
Hey, guys.

-What are y'all doing in here?
-Hey, dad.

Uh, those idiots
at the liquor store.

Gee, they had one
maybe two cameras.

Welcome back to Real Crime.

Tonight, a follow-up episode

on the double homicide
allegedly perpetrated by a man

known to uphold the law,
Judge Halstead.

First, I will play you
a never-before-heard recording

from Carla Fuentes.

Paralegal to ex-DA,
Holly Powell.

Now Carla is currently
in hiding, fearful for her life

from Holly's father,

ex-chief of police,
James Powell,

whose protégé, was found dead
outside of Holly's home a day--

How on earth does he know
any of this?

There wasn't a media release.

DALE:
Let's play the recording

of Carla's frantic,
heartfelt message.

CARLA ON RECORDING:
Holly is not
who she pretends to be

and has falsified evidence
for years

starting with the infamous
Halstead trial.

I also have evidence that

she's been blackmailing
Detective Barnes,

along with her father
James Powell.

If anything happens
to Detective Barnes

the blame lies solely
at the feet

of Holly and James Powell.

This is unreal.

Now going live to
North State Penitentiary.

A man very well known
to this show

and to this community.

Welcome to the show,
Judge Halstead.

The floor is yours.

Happy to be here.

Well, not exactly here,
but happy to be here with you

to set the record straight.

Now, what record would
that be, Judge?

Holly Powell, fabricated
evidence against me

to not only
get me off the bench.

But to send me to prison
for life for a crime,

she knows, I didn't commit.

You have proof
that she did this?

JUDGE HALSTEAD:
Well, I will soon enough.

But know this,

my ex-wife never
filed a police report

nor sought a restraining order
against me.

Those documents were
conveniently planted

by Chief James Powell.

Her friend and paralegal
Carla Fuentes seems to agree

with you.

JUDGE HALSTEAD:
Well, that doesn't surprise me.

Holly Powell and her father
have faked evidence

in numerous cases.

They most likely staged
the break-in of her office

Now the detective on that case
was found dead

in front of Holly's home.

He probably found something
they forgot to dispose of.

So they disposed of him instead.

This is all BS.

DALE:
You laid out some explosive
accusations, Judge.

Why would Holly
want to set you up

in the first place?

JUDGE HALSTEAD:
You'll have to ask her.

She knows I'm a good man.

I always took care
of my wife and child.

She's the one who took
me away from them.

Not the other way around.

DALE:
What would she have to gain
from that?

Ask her father.

He never liked me either.

I dismissed a case
against someone

he wanted locked up for good.

Who would that be?

Well, you'll have to ask him.

to my small confining cell.

Enjoy the free world
and give my best to Holly.

This is garbage!
Turn it off!

DALE:
Well, we've certainly opened
a Pandora's box with this case.

But in all my years
covering real crime.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

We'll see you tomorrow
on Real Crime with Dale.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You don't really
believe this nonsense.

Do you?

You've known me
and my dad my entire life.

Do you think if there
was any truth to this,

it'd go unnoticed this long?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Unbelievable.

Come on, dad.
Let's go.

I'm gonna prove our innocence.
You'll see.

-Honey!
-HOLLY: What did he mean?

JAMES:
Honey!

He-- he has a kid, certainly
not with his wife.

Look, nothing they said is true.

And why was he talking
about letting someone go

that you want to put away?

He let dozens of people off
with light sentences,

you know that.

HOLLY:
Dad, think.

Was there someone specific?

Uh, it's been a long time,
so many years.

I-- I don't know maybe--
maybe-- maybe that woman.

What woman?

JAMES:
It was decades ago.

Dad, please.

-Carla's life is at stake.
-JAMES: Alright, alright.

She was a prostitute
who killed a John.

Open and shut case.
I remember she had a son.

I'm not-- I'm not sure, how old.

Uh, but some reason
Halsted fought

with every legal tool
at his disposal

to rule in her favor.

Finally, in an obvious
act of desperation,

he threw the case out.

When he said he had a kid,
he meant her kid.

What if he was the father?

You know,
I know he was married,

but maybe he had
a son out of wedlock.

Oh, bingo.

We'll get her name.

I-- well,
the first thing I'll do,

I'll go to the station
tomorrow.

Have a sergeant there.
He'll get it.

Who the hell did his son
turn out to be?

We'll find out.

In the meantime, it's time
for you to go home.

-Call me if you--
-Call you?

-Yes, call me if you need to.
-You're sending an officer--

[OVERLAPPING SPEECH]

I love you.
I know, I love you.

I love you, too.
God bless you.

[CAR ENGINE REVVING]

HOLLY:
Who the hell are you, Theo?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Dale Jones, are you here?

DALE:
Mr. Powell!

I don't believe
we had an appointment.

I was just leaving.

Oh, well, I'll tell you--

Let me guess, you're here
to tell me that my show

is nothing
but journalistic cesspool.

The information I spout across
this city is nothing but trash.

Good, I like it.

You're also probably wondering
what my end goal is here, right?

Is it just ratings?
Perhaps it's something deeper.

Perhaps I'm involved
with Halstead.

Huh?

Well, very good.
You're a very bright young man.

Well, let me tell you one.

I was at a liquor store
this morning.

And uh, I watched a videotape

of a man buying
a bottle of whiskey.

Oh, I didn't know buying
liquor was illegal.

Well, it is if it's connected
with a murder.

Who are you really, Mr. Jones?

Tell you what?

Let's clear the air.
Let me show you my evidence.

Evidence?

Halstead's guilty
and you know it.

Well, if you believe that,
you're dumber than you look.

-Follow me.
-Oh, really?

Huh.

There's nothing you can show me
to change my mind.

Halstead was always a snake.

Well, some people like snakes.

-[CHUCKLES]
-You one of 'em?

Come on.

Listen, I'm gonna show
you some evidence.

Alright, stop babbling.

And then show me
what you have for evidence.

-Where's it at?
-It's right inside here.

We're gonna boot it up.

What you got?

Alright, you got
the lights in here?

-It's all-- yeah.
-Give 'em a click.

-Carla.
-James!

-JAMES: Oh my God.
-CARLA: Behind you.

Okay.

Alright, but I'm not

DALE ON PHONE:
Okay, well, we'd be happy

But listen, Holly,
I've been investigating

this case for
a very long time now

and I think I know
who's behind this.

What are you talking about?

There's a person, you know,
who is not

who they say they are.

Okay? They are classy,

they are charming,
they are rich.

They are on top of their game.

But they are also lying to you.

HOLLY ON PHONE:
You're the only one
that's lying.

I'm the one trying to help you.

HOLLY ON PHONE:
Why would you do that?

Because I'm not a monster,
Holly.

Okay, no matter what you
and your father may have done.

I can't stand by and just
watch harm come to you.

HOLLY ON PHONE:
What the hell are you talking
about, Dale?

I have reasons to believe
your father's life is in danger.

In fact, I know it is.

Hah!

Do you now?

Well, I was actually
just with my father.

We were watching that travesty
you call a TV show, Dale.

DALE ON PHONE:
Is anybody else with him
or is it just the two of you?

Theo.

Oh, oh, are-- are you telling me
that you think

that Theo is
Judge Halstead's son.

I'm just saying that
he's not who he says he is.

And if you confront him
about it,

he will deny it
and you need to watch your back.

No, you need to watch
your back, Dale.

Because I'm gonna tell you what,

I'm gonna use every single legal
means in my power

to prove that
you are an absolute fraud.

DALE ON PHONE:
Well, go ahead.

But for now, if you have any way
to track your father down,

I suggest you use it.

Turn it off, right now.

-Now! Okay.
-Calm down.

It's not a problem, here.

It's off.

Look, put the knife down, okay?

Where is my father?

And don't you lie to me, Theo.

Or whatever your name is.

James left the same time
you did.

Oh, yeah?

[BEEPS]

[CELLPHONE RINGING]

Oh.

Then what the hell is his phone
doing here? Huh?

Huh?

It's over, Theo.

What am I even calling
you that for?

What's your name?

Let's start there and then you
take me to my father.

Theo is the only name I have.

I don't know how your
dad's phone got in my boat.

He's never even been in here.

Do you think I am stupid?

Who are you?

Are you Halstead's son?

THEO:
I may not know who my father is,

but I definitely know
who he isn't.

Where's Carla?

What have you done
with my friend?

Where's Carla?

THEO:
I didn't do anything with her.

Calm down. Alright?

Put it down.

So, you can kill me, too?

Like you did Detective Barnes?

Now, you are talking crazy.

Look, just give me the knife.

HOLLY:
You'd love that, wouldn't you?

Defenseless woman,
easy to attack.

Whoever told you that
I am the bad guy is wrong.

That's what all
the bad guys say!

Move it.

-This way.
-Okay, just-- just easy.

-Go!
-Easy.

Okay, alright, just-- just--
just-- just--

You tell me where my father is,

where Carla is
and they better be alive.

Look, someone is trying
to turn you against me, Holly.

Shut up!

Keep walking.

Put the knife down,
we can call the police.

Open the door.

I will do anything
I can to help you out, I swear.

Only way you're getting
out of this is,

if you take me to my father.

Now!

Holly, I don't know where
James is, okay?

Yes, you do.

-Just give me the knife.
-No.

-I just-- just--
-No, Theo.

-Stop it.
-Give me it.

[THEO GRUNTING]

Why did you do that?

-I don't know where James is.
-Okay.

[PANTING]

Listen to me.
Look-- look at me.

If you tell me where they are,

I will take you
to the hospital right now.

You can watch me die
for all I care.

I am not the person
you're looking for.

I swear to God.

I'm just telling you
what Dale Jones found out

about you while investigating
the Halstead case.

You're believing him?

Over me?

I mean, just think about that,
Dale Jones?

Ah!

Oh, oh no, oh no, no, no,
oh God.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Okay, listen.

Oh, I'm gonna
take you to the hospital.

-Be careful.
-I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Okay, I will make
this up to you. Okay?

THEO:
Easy.

You know, you appeared
out of nowhere.

[THEO GROANING]

And you were likable,
but mysterious, so--

Holly, look, I'm not trying
to ruin your life.

I'm not gonna report it
to the cops.

I know it was an accident.
I really like you.

-You do?
-Yes.

Well, you know what?

Then you better not die,
because--

because I like you, too.

[GROANING]

Oh, James, James,
please wake up. Pl--

James!

[♪♪♪]

[PHONE RINGING IN BACKGROUND]

NURSE:
Ma'am? Ma'am?
You can see your friend now.

He's sleeping.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

I'm glad you turned out
to be a good guy, Theo.

If that's who you really are.

[♪♪♪]

[DOG BARKING IN BACKGROUND]

[CLICKS, BEEPS]

Do you mind?

As a matter of fact, I do mind.

What are you doing here?

Aren't you Dale Jones?

DALE:
Yeah.

I'm also a friend of Holly's.

I came by to check on her

after everything that's been
happening, you know.

BEAT COP:
Yeah, it's been crazy.

Could say you stirred the pot.

Well, I mean,

unfortunately, it's--
it's kind of my job, right?

My wife does love your show.

Do you think I can get
an autograph for her?

DALE:
Come on.

Of course, you-- you got a pen?

Yeah.

[TASER ZAPPING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER
IN BACKGROUND]

Ugh.

Good morning.

Good morning.

THEO:
You know, you look like
an absolute angel--

Shut up. Are you okay?

Are you gonna live?

I am going to be fine,
as a matter of fact.

I get to get out of here
tomorrow.

HOLLY:
Oh, thank God. Thank God.
Thank God.

How are you doing?

I'm uh, I'm really very worried
about my dad and Carla.

And I think that it seems
like either Dale

is the one behind this or--
or he's the puppet

of the person who is.

I mean, I think we should
just call the police.

We can't.

What would we tell them?
We have no proof.

It's our word against his.

-How do we change that?
-I don't know.

But I think we're running
out of time.

I think he wouldn't have
risked sending me

on this wild goose chase
after you if he wasn't.

I suggest that you go home,
get showered, rest.

Have something to eat, 'cause
I guarantee you

with that brilliant,
legal mind of yours,

you are going to figure
this out in no time.

Thank you.

I don't deserve your help
after last night,

but my dad and Carla do.

Oh, you said
you'd make it up to me

and I'm gonna hold you to it.

I will.

THEO:
Give me a call
if anything changes.

Feel better, okay?

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[SHOWER RUNNING]

[♪♪♪]

[GASPS]

Oh God.

[WHIMPERING]

Officer, officer!

There's a dead man.
Oh my God!

He's--

[SCREAMING]

Alright, people put
on your welding mask.

Holly Powell's coming back
on the show

and sparks are gonna fly.

Hey, give me a maple bar
half-caf, decaf chai latte.

Tonight, I'm running the show.

Oh, oh God.

Oh, oh, I'm gonna--
I did you, sorry, Carla.

No, no, it's--
it's okay, it's okay.

We're gonna get out of here.

Oh.

I'm not officially released yet.

Shh.

What's-- what's wrong?

[CRYING]

Carla's boyfriend, Thomas was
in my bathroom dead.

What?

And I um, I--
there was another officer

that was in my driveway, dead.

You're kidding me.

How do I know
if they're all dead,

that my dad and Carla
are still alive?

I-- I don't know.

I mean, I--

Just the first thing is-- is--
is you can't let anyone know

that you found these bodies.

I mean for whatever sick reason
Dale wants you to find them.

My God, I'm being set up.

-Oh.
-Geez.

Dale wants Halstead
out of prison

and he wants me in there.

Oh, I'm correct, then I can't
go to the police, right?

No, no, not yet. Not yet.

You have to prove that Dale
is the one behind this first.

I mean really behind this.

Well, uh--

Maybe you need to go back
to the beginning and talk

to the person who started
this whole thing

in the first place.

Halstead.

I have to question Halstead?

James, what do we do?

I think he hurt Thomas.

Why is he doing this?

He's Judge Halstead's son,
that little bastard.

Oh God, I am so sorry,
excuse me.

-Ow.
-What the hell?

Uh, post needs a tablet.
I was running back there

to grab one.

Uh, listen, I can grab it.
Okay, just uh--

I gotta get something from
my laptop anyway, just um,

take five,
go get a coffee, relax.

-I got it.
-Okay. Okay.

Sorry about that.

JAMES:
Try to find your end
of the loop.

I can't feel anything
and my hands are numb.

Twist your end to the left.

My left or yours?

[ZAPPING]

Oh, boy.

Hey, hey creep, over--

[SPITS]

ARTHUR:
Got your coffee, buddy.

[GASPS]

You know grab a coffee
means you grab a coffee,

not for me.

God, are you--
here's a tablet.

My bad, I thought that
you said-- No, thank you.

But now that you brought it,
let's get back to set.

I got--

What do you got
going on back here?

DALE:
Oh, I just found the hard drive.

Let's get back to set.
I know they need that.

Yes, Warden, I'm pulling in now.

I appreciate this favor.

Yeah, it shouldn't take long.

Okay.

Thank you.

JUDGE HALSTEAD:
Well, well, miss priss.

I can't believe you had
the gall to come see me

after all you--

Oh, cut the woe is me crap.
It doesn't suit you.

You did it.

I know it and the jury knows it.

Okay?

I'm here about your son.

I don't have any children.

Really?

That's not what you said
in the interview.

You said wife and kid.

Is that who you sent after me?

The son you had
with that prostitute?

You call her that
one more time, I dare you.

PRISON GUARD:
Hey, Halstead, simmer down.

You think you're in a world
of hurt now?

My apologies.

You know, whatever
did happen to her?

I tried to track her down
for the trial,

but she just disappeared.

Did you kill her, too,
Mr. Halstead?

That's Judge Halstead.

And no.

You killed her.

I spent every last dime I had.

Defending that case against me.

It's a case you never
should have even indicted.

You blew so much smoke
through that jury.

They never could cut through
the fog and confusion.

HOLLY:
I did my job.

Who is this woman?

What's her name?

JUDGE HALSTEAD:
You broke me.

And without money,
how could I--

how could I
take care of them?

Them?

Her and her son?

Marilyn Rose.

I met her the night
of my bachelor party.

I got her pregnant
the night before I got married.

So that's why you threw
out the murder case then

to keep the baby's mother
out of prison.

No, I dismissed that case
against her.

Because she wasn't a murderer.

She was drugged,
and raped, and when she came to,

you would not believe
the things that man

had done to her.

So she killed him.

HOLLY:
Well, at least your heart
was in the right place.

Don't you dare.

Hey, Judge,
I'm on your side here.

I-- I agree with you.

Every child needs its mother.

I know from experience.

It's a hole that
cannot be filled.

I-- I was lost
when my mother died.

JUDGE HALSTEAD:
Well, his mother died,
because I was sent to prison

and couldn't take care of her
or him.

You selfish bitch.

How did she die?

Sadness, I suppose.

HOLLY:
Not drugs.

You know for such
a smart lawyer,

You sure know nothing
about the ways of love.

HOLLY:
I don't give a damn
about the ways of love,

to be honest.

What I care about,
what I'm interested in

is your son.

It's clear to me that the fig
falls very close to the tree.

The good news is you
might be able to spend

a bunch of quality time here
in prison with your son.

JUDGE HALSTEAD:
You leave that boy out of this.

What boy? What's his name?

Why won't you say his name?

Are you ashamed of
who he's become?

No, no.

Then what's his name?

He's become a great man,
no thanks to you.

Then say his name.
What is his name?

His name is
none of your goddamn business.

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
Then say his name.
What is his name?

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
His name is
none of your goddamn business.

[♪♪♪]

[TYPING, BEEPS]

[RINGING DIALTONE]

DALE ON PHONE:
Hello.

Hey, does the offer still stand
to come on your show?

My offers never expire, Holly.

I have new information
on the identity

of Judge Halstead's son.

What?

I mean, what is his real name?

Well, you'll have to find out
live tonight.

Okay. Well,I uh--

You know, I-- I just--
I-- I like to know

that way I can prepare
for the show and be ready.

You'll find out tonight.

[BEEPS]

Hello.

Oh goddamn, stop it.

Come here.

I need you watching
the news every 10 minutes.

I just got a tip.

There's been a body--
a body found

at Holly Powell's residence.

Body?

Should we just call the police?

Do you get paid to think
or do I?

Producers do really.

In fact, they need you
in their office now.

What is your name?

Arthur.

People call me "Arty".

Arty, good.
Now, I know who to get fired.

Did you want this maple bar?

DALE:
No, I do not want
that maple bar!

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
What's his name?

Why won't you say his name?

Are you ashamed of
who he's become?

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
No, no.

-Then what's his name?
-He's become a great person.

-Then say his name?
-No thanks to you.

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
What is his name?

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
His name is--[BEEPS]

How do I play this?

What do I do?

Dale, we need you in wardrobe.

New ties are in
and make-up wants last look.

Do you have anything better
to do than just ride my ass?

Give me a break. Come on.

There must be something
around here

we can use to cut the rest off.

Not anymore, he took everything
that was sharp.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, can we get you in makeup,
Miss Powell, we'll be ready--

No, I'm ready right now,
actually.

You know, it'd probably be
better though

if they just got some last--

Do I look like I care about
makeup right now?

God, I love that woman.

[GRUNTS]

You did it, James.
Oh, oh, thank you.

Oh my God.

He could come back
at any moment.

Where are we anyway?

The studio.

Welcome back to another
episode of Real Crime.

Ex-district attorney
Holly Powell,

you are on the hot seat.

Dale, it's so nice to be back
and have the opportunity

to clear things up.

You presented a theory
about a case I prosecuted

20 years ago to your audience
that was entirely false.

Well, theory isn't
quite fact yet.

It needs time to be proven.
This is true.

Let's stick with the facts then.

I have some evidence
that runs counter to your story.

Evidence, well,
we'd love to have it,

but I'm sure it needs to be
cleared by the producers.

So we'd love to schedule you
to come back with that

at any time.

I would imagine that everyone
here wants to know the truth.

Truth yes, let's jump right in,
the man you believe

has been stalking you,
Theo Dalrymple.

Theo has nothing
to do with this.

I just learned that
Judge Halstead had an affair

with a call girl the night
of his bachelor party

just before getting married.

Wow, I believe somebody
sold you a false bill of goods.

I've had plenty of hours
of conversation

with Judge Halstead

and he's never brought
any of that up before.

Well, then you would know that
this woman gave birth

to his son,
Judge Halstead's son.

A son that he hid from
his wife and public life,

a son that he cared for
and paid every expense.

A son who lost his father
when Halstead went to prison

for murder.

Does that sound familiar?

Well, it sounds like
a total fabrication.

[CHUCKLES]

Which is just so beneath
even you Holly.

All you have to do is get one.

One undone.

I can do the rest.

You try doing this
with acrylic nails.

Listen, if you continue
with this babble,

I will shut you down.

You are not going to
shut me down, Dale Jones.

I have a recording
of the very person--

Okay, I have recordings too
of Holly Powell

threatening my life.

Just like she did her paralegal
Carla Fuentes.

HOLLY:
My father's also missing.

Have you shared that
with your viewers?

No, of course not.
Why would I share that?

Aren't you the one who called me
and told me about it?

I was sharing something
that we got a tip

on our hotline.

Yes.

-That her father...
-That's right.

...had been kidnapped.

And I am so glad that
you did that, Dale,

because I think we both know
how much we love our fathers.

Speaking of fathers, let's hear
what Mr. Halstead has to say--

No, no, okay.

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
You broke me.

And without money how could I--
how could I take care of them?

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
Them? Her and her son.

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
Marilyn Rose.

I met her the night
of my bachelor party.

I got her pregnant the night
before I was married.

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
So, that's why you threw out
the murder case.

-Oh, I got one.
-[GRUNTS]

I think I got it.

Oh, good-- good job.

Now a little bit carefully
back the other way.

Okay.

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
You know for such
a smart lawyer.

You sure know nothing
about the ways of love.

Alright. Can we-- Enough.

Is anybody believing
any of this dribble?

[SCREAMS]

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
Be able to spend a bunch
of quality time

here in prison with your son.

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
You leave that boy out of this.

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
What boy?

Alright, I've had
enough of this!

-Just stop the recording!
-Why won't you say his name?

Are you shamed
of who he's become?

-No, no.
-Then what's his name?

What a woman.

HOLLY ON RECORDING:
Then say his name.
What is his name?

DALE:
Enough of that.

-You turn that off right now.
-Whoa! Whoa! Get--

-DALE: Turn it off!
-[GRUNTS]

Holly!

[GASPS]

-Dad!
-JAMES: Darling.

Carla, I thought you were dead.

Oh, Carla.

[PANTS]

Thomas?

-I'm sorry.
-No.

-Carla.
-No.

[CRYING]

[ZAPPING]

[GASP]

[GRUNTS]

[ZAPPING]

You want to hear how your father
ended that statement, Dale?

It doesn't matter what he said.

And it won't stop me
from loving him.

Then you should have
trusted him.

JUDGE HALSTEAD ON RECORDING:
His name is none
of your goddamn business.

I just wanted
to get him out of jail.

Well, now you get to join him.

[DALE GRUNTS]

Turn that thing off!

I thought you were my friend.

ARTHUR:
What's my name?

Wonder what Dale Jones
is gonna think

when he's the star
of someone else's crime show.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I'm not dead yet, Holly Powell!

Oh God, ow, easy.

You did good, kid.

DALE:
Enough!

I've had enough of you,
turn it off!

Get out of here.
Get out of here.

ARTHUR:
Excuse me, Miss Holly.

-Can we get an interview?
-Get out of here.

ARTHUR:
Okay, sorry to bother.

[♪♪♪]

THEO:
Well, who would have thought
that investing in a country club

would be detrimental
to my health.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, hello, darling,
it's gonna be alright.

It's over now.

-Yeah.
-It's over.

Well, if there's one
good thing that came out

all of this, the producer
has offered Holly

to host the show.

Oh, whoa, whoa.
I haven't said yes yet.

Real Crime with Holly.

[CHUCKLES]

-I love it.
-I would watch it.

I would watch it.

I am so sorry that I got you
into this mess

and for stabbing you.

Alright, no, no, no, no,
you did not stab me.

I stabbed myself.

I never should have reached
for the knife

in the first place.

So have you thought of any way
that I could

make this up to you yet?

Uh, um, I have thought of one.

Oh, yeah. What is that?

This is not what I had in mind.

When we finish her up,
what should we name her?

Lady Justice.

-Hmm.
-Is that cheesy?

I love it.

Now back to work.
