How you doing on Madeline Scott?

- Come on, I mean, it's not that bad.
- It's bad.

I can't print this.

Okay, I will get you
something.-You better.

Or someone else will.

12 years ago, your opponent,
Esteban-Miller,

represented Falcone on a seriesof
corruption charges and won.

I thought this was
your candidate of choice.

Please believe
that my being here means

I was out of options.

Toby Kissell?

Keep your drug-addicted
brother away from me.

Don't you come in herelike
you're the innocent victim.

You're a coward,
and you're pathetic.

And everything
that happened to him

is your fault.

Fill out the form
in any language you like.

Just tell us your story.

- We'll try to help you if we can.
- All right.

- We also have care packages.
- Thank you. Thank you.

With snacks and makeup
and hair care products.

There's also a prepaid
commissary card

with a $20 credit.

Miss Scott. Do you know me?

Hey... Yeah.

You're... Adele Meyerson?

I didn't kill my mother,
Miss Scott.

You got to believe me.

I-I was wrongfully convicted
by the press,

- just like you were.
- Okay. All right.

Here's what
I want you to do, Adele.

Fill out this form, get it
backto me, and we'll review it.

I-I can't stay here, okay?

This place
is a living nightmare.

- I can't...
- Fill out the form.

I'll review it personally.

And I won't be swayed
by any of the past press.

- Okay, thank you. I...
- Move out the way, bitch.

They got $20 with my name on it.

It's okay.
You can just step around.

Why I got to step around
when she in my way?

Hey!

Maddie.

Hey, get off her.

Don't even think about it.

- You okay?
- Thank you.

Want to put some ice
on that, slugger?

- Thank you.
- Yep.

Do you want me
to wrap your hand in a...

a bag of frozen peas
or something?

Like Bradley Cooper
in A Star Is Born?

What does he have
that I don't have?

Are you asking that seriously?

I didn't see it. How was it?

I loved it. Why'd you skip it?

I don't watch movies
with self-pitying white folks.

So you haven't seena Julia
Roberts movie since...?

- Never.
- Okay, I'm gonna jump in now.

No, I don't needa bag of
frozen peas, thank you.

Yes, I love Julia Roberts.

And lastly, does anyone have
anything useful on Adele?

Otherwise known
as "CinderHella,"

convicted of stabbing
her stepmother 37 times.

- Adoptedmother.
- She was born in Korea

and adopted by Taylor Meyerson,

who's this billionaire
textile magnate

who brought her here
when she was six years old.

The media says
Adele's adopted mother

- never loved her.
- Well, she didn't speak English

very well when she got here,
so her mother

ostracized her,
called her stupid.

She bonded with Daddy.

He loved her, spoiled her,
and she loved him.

I think her mother
resented her because

just after Daddy died...

Adele got treated
like Cinderella.

Except for, in this fairy tale,

CinderHella gets revenge.
With a knife.

37 times.

Adele swears she didn't do it.

Then she's definitely innocent.

Yeah, because if she isn't,

then she would be the first
convicted murderer

to lie in the history
of American crime.

Okay, your collective
trepidation is noted.

But I remember the caseagainst
her wasn't that strong.

Did you hear
the zombie-like 911 call?

That's what convicted her
with the public.

People didn't think my 911
callwas that great, either.

Please, help.

She's not breathing.
There's so much blood.

She's dead. Rosemary's dead.

You can't win.

You're either too emotional
or not emotional enough.

The only person who thought
I was telling the truth was...

Was me. And just like you,
she contacted

every innocence project
she could.

And... no one wanted
to take her case,

just like no one wanted
to take mine.

I love it when you two
go down memory lane.

It's sweet, right?

Should we go talk to Adele?

Please.

On this week's episode
of Until Proven Innocent,

we will look at the case
of Adele Meyerson.

It is a salacious tale
of greed and hate

between an adopted daughter andthe
mother who never loved her.

In the famous novel
The Stranger,

the protagonist
is convicted of murder

mostly because he doesn't cry
at his mother's funeral.

Sometimes, what we show
the world is more important

than what is actually true.

911. What is your emergency?

My mother's
on the kitchen floor.

There's blood.

She's not moving.

Is she breathing?

She's dead.

I don't know why
I sounded like that.

I-I can't even remember
calling 911.

You were probably in shock.

Do you remember finding
your mother's body?

Kind of.

I saw my mother, and there was
so much blood, I...

something in my brain
just kind of shut off.

After I found her,
I couldn't sleep.

I couldn't eat.
I couldn't do anything.

My aunt got so freaked out,

she had me locked up
in a mental ward.

The case file says
you went in voluntarily.

They make you say that
so they can keep you there

over 48 hours.

I missed my mother's funeral.

I missed
my best friend's funeral.

They used it against meat
trial, said I was heartless.

They did the same thing to me.

It's a really common tactic.

Especially when their case
isn't that strong.

They convict you with
character assassination.

The police did have
physical evidence.

They found bruising on your body

consistent with a struggle.

I know.
And I can't explain that.

I don't know how
I got those bruises.

You really can't remember?

No. All these years later, the
whole thing is just a blur.

The bruises were just there.

What about
the witness statements?

Half your family members
testified against you.

A lot of people lied, for a
lot of different reasons.

They wanted her inheritance,
so they pinned it

on the adopted Korean girl
who hated her mother.

Why'd you hate her?

Because she hated me.

The CinderHella thing
is partially true.

She treated me
like her personal slave.

You're not exactly convincing
usyou didn't do it.

I wasn't perfect,

and my mother and I,
we fought a lot,

but I-I wouldn't hurt her.
I would never hurt anybody.

All right, Adele.
We'll keep digging.

And maybe we'll find
a glass slipper.

A story

is the most important part
of the trial.

What happened?
What does the evidence say?

What's truth?

And what is fiction?

As wrongful conviction
advocates,

we know that the best place to
start retelling that story

is with the original
trial lawyer.

Well, we know the case
is a little thin,

but anything you can offer
would help.

It only took the cops and
the prosecutors about a week.

They rushed the DNA,

they didn't canvass
all the witnesses,

but had their theory,
and that was it.

Their theory being
a bratty adopted kid

who killed the mother
who never loved her.

Yeah, but don't forget
about the money.

If Jane's dead,
Adele gets $300 million.

And now?-Her father's sister got it all.

Adele's Aunt Tessa.

Is Aunt Tessa capable of murder?

I don't know.

She did get Adele locked up
in the mental hospital

right after the murder.

I see you got the murder weapon
DNA kicked at trial.

Yeah, cops botched that
pretty good.

The entire case came down
to eyewitnesses and motive.

Also, the jury just loved
to hate Adele.

She was in shock.

Well, she had just found
her dead mother.

That seems relatively normal.

- She was, for the most part.
- And the other parts?

After a few days,
she became belligerent.

Especially when she heard
she was missing

her mother's funeral.

We needed to use restraints.

Well, if they had to
use restraints,

that would explain the bruising.

Do you have pictures of Adele
when she was admitted?

I'm not legally allowed to say.

Well, we could
get a court order.

- I think you should.
- Are you saying that

because you don't think Adele
killed her mother?

To me, she was grieving.

So, no, I don't believe
she killed her mother.

We need to cast doubt
on this bruising evidence.

I'll subpoena
the hospital records.

They clearly have something
the doctor wants us to see.

There's also eyewitness
testimony and some

not-so-great
character witnesses.

Like this Aunt Tessa character.

Who puts a kid
in a mental hospital

after their mother dies?

A woman who inherited
$300 million?

Well, she's our number-onesuspect.
Let's follow the money.

Levi, what is it?

Toby Kissell's dead.

He hung himself.

I can't believe it.
I mean, I just saw him.

So did I.

After you talked to him,

he came here and threatened
to have you arrested.

I threatened him back.

Well, that's a relief.

'Cause I thought I was the one
that drove him to suicide.

It turns out you were.

- Thanks, Brother.
- Yeah.

This has got to be
about Rosemary, though.

I mean, think about it,
you know?

We see him, he kills himself.

He's feeling guilty.

I mean, th-there's a reason
why he lied on the stand.

Or he was depressed
and he killed himself

because he needed help.

We got to go to the funeral.

Are you serious? Why?

To find out what happened
to Rosemary.

Best place to start
is Toby Kissell's funeral.

Traeger threesome,
hold up there.

Lee single is gonna be
joining you.

Twosome, check in, please.
Bryer twosome, check in.

That is quite the stroke
you got there.

I bet you're even better
with a knife.

- I beg your pardon?
- A knife.

You know, like, like you'd
use to stab somebody.

Maybe 37 times or something.

You're peculiar.

I don't like peculiar.

And you're Tessa Meyerson.

I work for your adopted niece,
Adele.

You remember her, right?
You put her in an asylum

right before you helped
convict her?

And then you inherited your
latebrother's $300 million estate.

Yeah, you had motive,

you certainly have the strength.

So you think that I killed
Janeand framed Adele?

The thought crossed my mind.

I loved Adele.

She was the cutest little girl,

but then she turned into
a horrible brat.

Drove my brother Taylor into
an early grave with worry.

Jane never liked her.

So after Taylor died,
she cut her off.

That is why Adele murdered her.

Believe me, I don't need money
as a motive.

Why is that?

Sweetie, I was already rich.

Hey.

I think Aunt Tessa might
just be the murderer.

I confronted her,
I went at her hard,

and she responded with
ice-cold gin in her veins.

Did she say anything
incriminating?

Yes, she said that she did it
for the money,

that she was guilty,
that I should

- take her in.
- Violet, what have you got?

Jane Meyerson was having
an affair with her lawyer.

Rumor has it she called it off
just before she was murdered.

Man, that is good.
Where'd you get that from?

A magical land
called the Internet.

But I confirmed it
with a reporter friend.

Did the cops interview either
ofthese people for Jane's murder?

Nope. They focused on Adele.

Two suspects
with perfect motives.

Police don't even
interview them.

Maybe CinderHella is innocent.

All this is good,

but it's not gonna
get her conviction overturned.

We need something definitive

besides rumors
and Bodie's bullying.

The subpoena came in today
for Adele's hospital records.

- Might be something there.
- Madeline.

Mind if we talk?

Sure, Evan.

Yeah.

You sold me out.

And to Bellows, of all people...

And you suborned perjury
defending a corrupt cop.

Exposing it got my
innocent client out of prison.

And you teed up Bellows to win.

I thought we were
on the same team.

What if I gave you the perfect
way to sink Rosemary's Law?

Depends on how perfect it is.

Rosemary's father
hates Rosemary's Law.

He thinks
it's politically motivated.

I bet he'd come out against it

and then Bellows
can't use it against you.

I'd be happy
to broker an introduction.

You'd be thrilled.

You want to see Rosemary's Law
defeated just as much as I do.

Politics is horrible, isn't it?

Right this way. Yes.

I think you gentlemen

know one another.

We've never officially met.

Gore Bellows.

Rick Zahn.

It's a pleasure.

I'll leave you to it, then.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

What can I do for you?

Just about to ask you
the same thing.

Word is that your campaign is...

fraught.

Madeline Scott's nipping
at your heels.

I read recently
that she's taking on

yet another one of
your wrongful convictions.

And through her work,
she's writing

a pretty persuasive narrative
of your incompetence.

We are all over the Scott issue.

Rosemary's Law has been
pretty effective

in blunting her attacks on me.

Your campaign staff
reached out to my people,

so I was assuming that you
needed some financial help,

but if that's not the case...

No! No, no, I...

I need your support.

And I understand

that you need a friend in
the attorney general's office.

And I'd like to be that friend.

I appreciate the candor.

I like someone
that just lays it out there.

Then, by all means, tell me
what it is you're looking for

in a candidate.

I'm looking for help.

Dorisole.

It's a life-changing
appetite suppressant,

and it's one of my most
successful products.

It's so successful, I got

four big pharma firms
trying to take it down.

The FDA's investigating.

At the behest
of those same firms.

I think you're probably aware

there's a criminal investigationbeing
brought against me

by some young, ill-advised
prosecutor downstate,

so if I were to,
back you and you won,

I would just love it
if all that went away.

It's a tremendous opportunity,
Gore.

You can ensure that
a life-saving product

remains available
and, at the same time,

earn the thanks
of a constituency

that has the means
to bankroll you

all the way to Springfield...

Governor.

You know...

my granddad worked
the train yards for 40 years.

And your father was a...

a city alderman
of grand and noble purpose

that never got above
ward politics.

Then you know the reason I wantto
be the next attorney general.

System's failing.

Corruption is rampant.

Honest and hard-working people
are missing out

on what makes
this country great.

And I want to fix that.

There's a lot
I can do for you, Rick.

But if Dorisole turns out
to be dangerous...

I can't help.

Totally understand.

And I'm sure none of this
will come to pass.

Then, one day, we'll all
look back on this and laugh.

- Hey, best of luck with the campaign.
- Thank you.

CinderHella's story
is no fairy tale.

Wrongful conviction lawyers
pulldouble duty as storytellers.

We have to destroy
the prosecution's story

and then tell a different,
more believable one.

Adele wanted to attend
her mother's funeral,

and when I told her
she couldn't, she got angry.

Attending orderlies
had to restrain her.

Were you present whenthese
police photos were taken?

Yes.

And was that before or after.

Adele's altercation
with your staff?

It was after.

I believe she sustained
those bruises at the hospital.

But the prosecution's
entire case

was based on the fact
that Adele got those bruises

when she struggled
with her mother.

In my opinion,
they were incorrect.

Why didn't you tell
investigators?

I did. I gave them my report

and advised that
their time line was wrong.

It's an obvious Brady
violation, Your Honor.

Defense counsel was never giventhis report.

Mr. Duncan, was the
prosecutionaware of this report?

This wasn't my case, Your Honor.

That doesn't answer my question.

I'm sorry,
it's the best I can do.

Petitioner moves
for a new trial,

on the grounds of
prosecutorial misconduct.

Motion granted.

Defendant is remanded
to the custody

of the Cook County
Correctional Center,

but we'll calendar immediately.

New trial,
new chance at freedom.

- Ready?
- All right.

- Let's go.
- It's okay.

Now we just have to win.

Yeah, we got a problem.

What's up?

Aunt Tessa and Loverboy Lawyer

both have airtight alibis
for the night of the murder.

Neither of them did it.

We have to find a new suspect.

The judge granted you
a new trial,

but you're still charged
with murder.

We've been able to knock down

one of the prosecution's
theories,

but we still need to find
a solid suspect.

Tell us again about
the night of the murder.

You were at a party.

Yes, at my friend
Sydney's house.

And she testified
for you at trial,

said you were there all night.

Grant Thargard,

a prosecution witness,
said you left early.

Grant lied. He's a liar.

He's a liar.

Toby Kissell,
for the prosecution.

Levi told me he was going
to kill Rosemary

and that his sister
was gonna help him.

I can't believe this.

Why would he perjure himself?

I don't know.

He tried to have sex
with me that night,

and I wouldn't let him.

But I don't think

that's a reason
why he would ruin my life.

Any reason to think he could
have killed your mother?

He knew her.

I guess it's possible.
I-I don't know. Why?

All right, first, let's focus ona
motive for why he would lie.

Is there anyone who would know?
Anyone we can talk to?

Sydney Ball. It was her party.

Me and Adele were best friends.

I feel terrible I've never
visited her in prison.

I miss her.

It's hard to see
the people we love locked up,

but you should visit her.

It would totally make her day.

I'll go see her. I feel bad.

She's not a killer.

But... I wouldn't blame her
if she did it.

Her mom was such a bitch.

She would always say Adele
was her adopted daughter.

You know, stressing "adopted."

Like we couldn't
figure it out anyway.

So what happened that night?

My parents were
out of town, so...

I threw a party.

Me and Adele
were having fun, so we

took some Molly.

How much?

Too much.

After a couple hours,

she said she was feeling dizzy,

so she went upstairs
to sleep it off.

Do you remember
what time that was?

I wish I did.

I was so messed up.

Grant Thargard testified

that Adele left your house
at midnight.

You know any reason why
he would have lied about that?

No.

I mean, he's a total douchebag.

That could be why.

I assume you had a cell phone
back then, right?

Did you take any pictures?

I gave them all
to Adele's lawyer,

but she's not in
any of the photos.

Do you mind
if we take a look at them?

I just... I don't know,

I feel like we might find
something they missed.

So, like I said on the phone,

Until Proven Innocentis like
a... a true crime podcast.

So this is like... Serial?

Yeah, sort of.

But not as good.

This week's episode
is about the Meyerson murder,

and we wanted to get
your take on it.

Are you ready?

Cool.

Let's do it.

So, Grant, what can you
tell usabout the night

that Jane Meyerson was murdered?

Sydney had a big party.

I was the... the D.D.

Designated driver.

Adele was out of control.

Her and Sydney took some Molly.
Adele came on to me.

She came on to you?

Big-time. I turned her down.

I'm, I'm not into lo mein.

We actually heard that...
that you came on to Adele.

You tried to,
hook up with her that night.

Who the hell said that?

Adele.

You talked to her?

In prison?

How'd you manage that?

We're on her defense team.

I'm out of here.

Hey. One more thing.
We got you this.

Until Proven InnocentT-shirt.

It's also a subpoena.

We'll see you in court.

Half our high school's here.

Yep.

So this should be fun.

Or not.

Who invited you guys?

The whole class
got an e-mail about it.

We're here to pay our respects.

Fine.

Just don't kill anybody.

Well, we'll see
how the day goes.

My gosh.

Maddie and Levi Scott.

Hi, Cassie.-I haven't seen you two since...

Our murder trial.

Rosemary and Madeline
fought all the time.

Madeline had a violent temper.

I guess we got that one wrong?

- Yeah.
- So weird

that we only see each other
when someone dies.

Levi Scott? Holy crap.

You look good. Guess,
prison agrees with you.

Clint, right?

Levi was always macking
on high school girls.

He was a real perv.

Wow. Yeah, you got bald.

I guess freedom really
took a crap on you?

Always a jackass, Levi?

Yeah.

This was a great idea.
Everyone's so happy to see us.

Yeah.

Toby would feel so honored

to see all of his
classmates here today.

Hey, who's the
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

I think that's Linda Barrett.

Wow. She was one of Heather's
mean girl flunkies.

We will now hear from one

of Toby's closest classmates,
Heather Dupinski-Husband.

- Lord.
- You kidding me?

Thank you.

Toby Kissell was
preternaturally kind,

- generous and empathetic.
- "Preternaturally"?

Even after all these years,

he never fully recovered
from the brutal slaying

of his teenage love,

my best friend, Rosemary Lynch.

Her mur...

Her murder devastated this town,

and I know it haunted Toby.

I have no doubt
that this nightmare,

which eventually led him
to take his own life,

began the night
that Rosemary Lynch died.

Linda?

Hey, Maddie.

Ditched out on Heather's eulogy?

I thought you two were pals.

No. We are definitely
not pals anymore.

What happened?

I was almost the third.

The third what?

Dead high school friend. Drugs.

If the paramedics had been
a minute later,

I wouldn't be standing here
right now.

Did you know about
this whole Adderall ring?

Yeah.

Heather would steal
her dad's prescription pad,

and Toby sold it.
Some of us got it for free.

Friends of Heather's?

Something like that.

What do you mean?

La Grange wasn't what it seemed.

A lot of bad stuff
happened here.

This is me. I got to go.

Linda.

Do you know who killed Rosemary?

- I have no idea.
- Wait.

Look...

Toby's gone now,

and there could be more
if this keeps going.

I don't understand
what you mean.

Just let it go.

It's good to see you, Maddie.

She said she nearly overdosed.

Yeah. Well, maybe her life
just got complicated.

No, I think it was
about Rosemary.

I never realized how much
her death affected everyone.

A girl is murdered.

The case became
a national obsession.

Of course it affected everyone.

She said I should
stop asking questions.

Maybe she's right, you know?

Maybe Toby would still be aliveif
I hadn't confronted him.

No, that's not your fault.

Listen, you deserve to find
outwho killed Rosemary,

because it wasn't you.

- I'm never getting married.
- Sure, you will.

Someday, a handsome guy
is gonna kiss you

in a perfect way,
and you're gonna melt.

I'm not really the melting type.

Do you think we'll
always be friends?

Even if we're old and...

married with kids?

You kidding? Of course.
I'm moving in next door

so our kids can be
best friends, too.

What are you thinking about?

You.

I'm thinking
you're pretty great.

Well, I think
you're pretty great, too.

Hey, how is it?

It's like Kubrick and Fellini...

if they were both lobotomized.

It's hours of drinking
and dancing,

and one kid threw up, which
madefour other kids throw up,

and it's all shot with flair.

What about our girl?

CinderHella is barely in it.
Couple of cameos early,

but nothing that's gonna work
for an alibi.

This reminds me
of my college days.

Yeah? Violet was a party girl?

- Come on, how hard-core were you?
- You have no idea.

- Come on, inquiring minds want to know.
- No.

Wait. Pause the video.

In the background there...
Isn't that Grant Thargard?

- Hello, Madeline.
- Were you lying in wait?

No, I knew you'd
be coming this way.

I just wanted
to have a word with you.

It'll just take a moment.
I'll get right to the point.

You have to stop representing
Adele Meyerson.

- Funny.
- I'm serious.

Look, she is not
one of your noble,

wrongfully accused clients.

I was part of the teamthat
worked the original trial,

and DNA evidence
was tossed on a technicality,

but it was a match.

- She killed her mother.
- What are you doing here?

Are your poll numbers sagging?

- Is this because I come to your office once?
- Look, I'm here because I have

a fundamental obligation
to protect the innocent

and convict those
who are not innocent.

Our personal history aside,
I know when someone's guilty.

Do you?

Thank you, Gore. I'm good.

Adele was belligerent.

She was trying
to order more booze,

but her credit card
was declined.

She said, and I quote,
"My mom is such a bitch.

I'm going to kill her."

And then she left the party.

Nothing further.

That was a very lucid account
of what happened, Grant,

very detailed.

How do you remember so much

when everyone was so wasted
that night?

- Not everyone. I was sober.
- Completely sober?

Yup. I was the
designated driver.

Was driving my dad's Jag
that night, so...

- didn't have a choice.
- Nice.

I was just wondering
how you would explain this

to your dad.

That's you, right?

Doing cocaine
all over the coffee table?

Grant...

why did you lie
at Adele's original trial?

The cops found the drugs on me.

They told me
if I didn't cooperate

they were gonna
charge me with possession.

So, to save yourself,

you sent an innocent woman
to prison for murder.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

Think I'm done
with this witness.

In the words of the great
Paris Hilton, "That was hot."

There's something so satisfying

about nailing liars
on the stand.

Only thing is he's got
a motive for lying,

but not for killing Jane.
I don't think he did it.

I know. We need a new suspect.

Sorry, have we met?

Not officially, but I've
been following your case.

I'm Arthur Kauffman.

I'm a criminal technology
professor at Northwestern.

I've spent my career studying
the apex predator.

The serial killer.

Why are you following
our case?-I know Adele.

I corresponded with her.

I even visited her
in prison a few times.

What for?-Actually, it ties in with what

you were just talking about.

A suspect? You have one?

Possibly.

I think Jane Meyerson was
murdered by a serial killer.

I remembered when Jane's case
was all over the news.

Honestly, I never
gave it much attention.

My focus was always on...
Carter Leopold.

The notorious blue blood

accused of stalking
and killing five women.

He was acquitted,
found innocent.

Because of sloppy police work
and sleazy defense counsel.

- No offense.
- None taken.

It wasn't until a few months ago

when a student of mine
wrote a paper

on Jane Meyerson's murder that
Ibegan noticing several striking

similarities between Jane's
caseand Leopold's known victims.

They were all middle-aged women

who had been stabbed
multiple times.

I contacted Adele right away.

I started asking her
specific questions.

I was then able
to track Mr. Leopold

using an algorithm I designed.

An algorithm? You have a math
algorithm for solving murders?

A mathematical model,
more accurately.

My students and I have been
amassing data on every murder

occurring in the U.S.
over the last 40 years.

Allow me to demonstrate.

43. Caucasian.

Female. And so on.

Next, we detail the crime scene
Was the body found indoors?

If so, was there signsof forced entry?
Sexual assault?

In Jane Meyerson's case,

the cause of death
was multiple stab wounds.

The program then assigns
Jane'scase a seven-digit number,

which then links to...

Every related homicide
in the greater Chicago area.

Yes. I'm almost convinced Janewas
murdered by Carter Leopold.

- Almost?
- One key element is missing.

Leopold had a fixation.

He required his victims
to ask to be killed.

So he contacted them
using an e-mail scam.

He signs each
of his phishing e-mails

with the initials "H.T.S."

I believe that stands for
"Hunt, Torture, Stab."

Catchy.

If the recipient replies,

he stalks and then kills her.

There's no way we can know
if he killed Jane

unless we access
her e-mail account.

Why didn't Adele mention
this theory to us?

She doesn't believe it herself.

She probably doesn't want you
to think she's crazy.

But I really think
there could be something here.

Bodie, you think you can hack
into Jane's e-mail?

Yeah, I'm all over it.

Something about this case
just never made sense.

No plausible
alternative suspect.

So now we have one.

You said you were
making progress.

There's nothing there. She
didn't kill Rosemary Lynch.

I thought she suspected
her brother.

She doesn't.
I grilled her about that.

Look, she's trying to find
the real killer, all right?

And if she finds him or her,
that's the story.

So you're saying this could
take months or years or never?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

All right.
Move on to something else.

My name is Charles Lynch.

My daughter Rosemary diedat
the hands of a brutal killer.

Her murder devastated
her community,

her friends,

and it destroyed my life.

Gore Bellows says he's
creating Rosemary's Law

to help the victims of crime.

You know what you can
do for me, Mr. Bellows?

You can find the person
who killed my daughter

and stop using her name
for political gain.

Evan Esteban-Miller
has dedicated his life

to this community.

I stand with him.

Because he stands for us.

I am Evan Esteban-Miller,

and I approve...

I think that puts the stake
in Rosemary's Law.

Then let's blanket
the state with ads

tying Esteban-Miller toDetective
Falcone's corruption.

With what money?

Call Zahn. Apologize.

Beg.

Or promise him
everything he wants.

Then stiff him
once you're in office.

Now, that I can live with.

I'm in.

Enter password.

"H.T.S." Let's search for that,
see if anything pops up here.

Wow.

That looks like he contacted her

for months.

And she responded.

That fits the profile.

I'll work on Leopold's subpoena.
Okay.

Really nice work.

No. This isn't good.

What?

It's a news story about you.

"Did Madeline Scott
drive friend to suicide?"

- Great.
- "Sources close to Scott

"reveal she remains
obsessed with solving.

"Rosemary Lynch's murder.

Scott's prime suspects
include her brother."

How would they know that?

Well, it's the Daily Post.

That's Dylan's paper.

His name is in the byline.

"Additional reporting
by Dylan Pierce."

He was using me.

I am so sorry, Maddie.

It's the company's hard drive.

I gave the research to Amanda
and she behaved like

a professional and wrote it
up.-You son of a bitch, I told you

I didn't want to do this.-You
slept with her, didn't you?

Rule number one
in shtupping your sources

Use the sex to get the story,
not to lose it.

Go to hell.

I quit.

Hey. How you holding up?

Totally fine. Busy.

I know it sucks.
I thought Dylan was a keeper.

No, I...

Honestly, it was nothing.

Seriously. I'm good.

But you know I'm here
if you want to talk.

I have a lot of experience
with men who disappoint,

and you do not want
to bottle up that anger.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

Mr. Leopold, you were charged
with the murder

of five women you met online,
is that correct?

Objection. Relevance.

Sustained. Mr. Leopold,
you don't have to answer that.

You're not on trial here.

I have nothing to hide.

I was fully acquitted
of all charges.

The accusations against me
were unfounded.

Well, you have plenty
of personal experience

with false accusations,
don't you, Miss Scott?

Absolutely. I'm representing

a falsely accused client
right now.

Mr. Leopold, when did you

first meet the victim,
Jane Meyerson?

I never met her.

You mean you've
never met her in person.

As opposed to on the Internet?

I never met her
on the Internet, either.

Is that right?

I'd like to introduce you
to Defense Exhibit F.

It's an e-mail

sent from you to Jane Meyerson,

dated February 17.

It's the same day
Jane Meyerson was murdered.

I did not write this e-mail.

Well, the IP address
attached to the e-mail

is registered to
1932 South Avalon Drive.

- Isn't that where you live?
- Yes.

But this is not me.

I didn't send this woman
an e-mail,

- and I certainly didn't kill her.
- Well, I'd be

happy to let the jury decide
who killed Mrs. Meyerson.

I'm just trying to establish
who sent her dozens

of catfishing e-mails.

Didn't you send
the exact H.T.S...

Hunt, Torture, Stab... e-mail

to five other women
who were brutally stabbed

the same way that Jane
Meyersonwas brutally stabbed?

Objection. I thought
Mr. Leopoldwasn't on trial here.

Overruled. I'd like to hear
his answer on this.

I...

- I plead the Fifth.
- Excuse me?

Mr. Leopold, do you have
reason to believe

that if you answer
my questions truthfully

that you will be subject
to criminal prosecution?

I don't know. I just know
I didn't write this e-mail.

- And I don't understand...
- Because you stabbed

Jane Meyerson the same way
that you stabbed

those other five women.

- I didn't do this. I swear.
- Objection. The witness is...

Did you also mean to frame
the defendant, Adele Meyerson,

for the murder
of her own mother?

Or was the sloppy
police investigation

just a happy accident for you?-Objection.

Withdrawn.

I think we're done here.

What just happened?

I think we just found
your mother's killer.

Miss Meyerson.

Please stand.

Madam Foreperson,

- what say you?
- We, the jury,

find the defendant,
Adele Meyerson,

not guilty of murder
in the first degree.

Congratulations, Miss Meyerson.

You are free to go.

Couldn't have done it
without you.

- Thanks.
- This is your victory, too.

Thank you. Thank you.

And now for
our fairy-tale ending.

Our guests are Adele Meyerson
and Professor Arthur Kauffman.

Adele, I will be honest,

I could not have survived
the horror you endured.

I really need to thank you guysat
the Injustice Defense Group

for taking my case.

For telling my story.

And for talking to my hero,
Professor Kauffman.

You people saved my life.

That's great. Let's, um...

Let's take five.

I just have to use the bathroom.

No problem.

I was, surprised
to hear from you again. I...

Thank you. You had,

made your position pretty clearlast time.

Positions change.

And I realized
that I wouldn't have

any positions at all
if I didn't win this thing.

And I'm gonna need
a lot of money.

Well, we live in a postCitizens
United world my friend.

I can give you
all the money I want.

And, you know,
I'd be happy to, if...

Well...

after a standard review
of all...

relevant investigations,

I suspect my staff
will recommend

that we discontinue
any legal actions

against your interests.

Then let me respond by saying
I will do everything I can

to get you seated
in the AG's office.

Thank you.

I look forward to our timetogether
on the campaign trail.

You're gonna campaign with me?

Absolutely.

I like you, Gore.

And I adore Greta.

So, I think we could have
a blast on the trail.

Welcome aboard.-Yeah.

I do have a, um... it's a bit
of an awkward question.

Isabel Sanchez.

She single?

So that's why you want
to campaign with me.

Guilty as charged, counselor.

She's a real spitfire.

Don't be offended
if she's not interested.

No offense taken.

Okay, so...

I left them alone
for a few minutes.

The main mics were off,
but I'd left the room mics on.

- Why?
- I had an instinct.

A bad one.

I still can't believe it worked.

I told you it would.

Planting those e-mails
on the computer was genius.

You're my brilliant professor.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Damn.

Adele and Kauffman
were in it together.

Bellows was right.

Adele was guilty and we
just got her out of prison.

So, we're just gonna
take these... these tapes

to the police, right?

No. We got her acquitted.

She can't be tried again.
Double jeopardy.

Plus, Bellows will crucify us
for defending the guilty.

He'll hammer it
in his campaign slogans

and get himself elected.

Man, they totally played us.

It's diabolical.

That CinderHella is good.

And the cops will go
after Leopold

and they'll find out
he didn't do this.

We can still get
this Professor Con Job

for accessory
after the fact, right?

Attorney-client privilege.

We can't implicate him
without implicating her.

We can't do anything.
We're screwed.

It is the ethical obligation
of every lawyer

to mount a compelling defense
for their client.

Of course we hope to exonerate
only the innocent.

But sometimes the system fails

and the guilty are set free.

Now, lawyers are forbidden
to betray their clients,

innocent or guilty.

But for those of us
who aren't lawyers,

we know that if a person
gets away with a crime,

there's a good chance
they'll commit another.

And when they do,

we will be right there
to catch them.

Hey.

Listen, I've been trying
to call you.

I am so sorry, okay?
Joe ran that story, not me.

I tried to get him to stop it...
