Eight years ago I was leader prosecutor

on a murder trial
that divided the country.

When the jury found movie star
Sevvy Johnson

not guilty of double homicide,

I was devastated.

You did everything you could, Maya.

I walked out of the courtroom

and left that life
and everyone in it behind.

But then the unthinkable happened.

He killed again.

MATTHEW:
- You have to come back, Maya.

This time, we're gonna get him.

- I can't go back to jail.
- You won't.

The police know who the killer is...

- Ben Mitchell.
- Being back is complicated.

You're supposed to be ride or die.

I didn't even know where you'd gone.

Nothing and no one is the same...

- You got married.
- Yeah.

...including me.

- She's been through a lot.
- So have you,

but you stayed when she ran.

The evidence is there.

We just need to find it.

He did it again. He gave me this.

- I am lead on this case.
- Maya's staying.

I'm making her the lead prosecutor.

I just heard from my guy on the inside.

They got a search warrant.

I owe you one.

But I need you to get rid of this now.

MAYA: This time,
he's not gonna get away with it.

I'm gonna get justice.

REPORTER: ...stylist Lindsay
Berg, who briefly dated Mitchell

after they met on a popular dating app.

We had coffee. He was super awkward.

He kind of had that
serial-killer vibe, you know?

Movie star Sevvy Johnson,
who had been considered...

We may have a witness.

- [TV SHUTS OFF]
- Who is it?

This kid who was at the bonfire party

the night before Jessica was killed.

My guy at Malibu Home Security

said most of the kids signed out

of the gated community
by the beach around 3:00 a.m.,

but this kid, Max Shen,

he didn't sign out until 6:30.

So he was in the vicinity around
the time Jessica was murdered.

I tracked the family down to
a campground in Santa Paula.

They're driving back now.

His mom has agreed to let him talk to us.

Well, to you.

She's a fan.

MAYA: We're trying to figure
out who killed Jessica Meyer.

My mom says you're famous.

I-I was.

You were at Malibu Beach

the night before Jessica was killed.

Do you have any information
about her death?

- Answer her.
- It's okay.

You're not in trouble. I promise.

Did you see Jessica?

Yes.

Yes, I saw her.

♪

Max, I need you to tell me
everything you remember.

I was... pretty wasted.

Then I guess I passed out,

and then something woke me up
right before the sun was rising.

And that's when I saw her.

Jessica?

She was covered in blood.

She was dead.

[VOICE BREAKING] My name is Ben.

I need to confess.

CJ: What about this man?

- Have you seen him?
- [DOOR OPENS, BLINDS RUSTLE]

- Maya, you need to see this.
- We're in the middle of something...

Now!

[REMOTE CLACKS]

I've done a lot of bad things in my life.

Tha... That's the guy! That's
the guy that was at the beach!

I've hurt myself and others...

- What's going on?
- ...people I love.

Ben Mitchell's confessing his sins.

What?

I didn't stick up for my little brother

- when he was getting beat up.
- [SCOFFS]

I hit a dog when I was
driving home one night.

I didn't stop. I should've stopped.

Get to the part where you killed a woman.

I should've been a better son.

I'm sorry, Mom.

[SNIFFLES] There are no excuses.

He's losing it.
Max, t-tell me what you saw.

I was about to call 911,

but then that guy
pulled up next to the beach.

He started walking towards the dead girl,

and when he saw her, he freaked out.

Wait, Ben Mitchell arrived

after Jessica was already dead?

For sure. So I got the hell out of there.

I-I figured he'd call the cops,
leave me out of it.

We need to call Ben,
tell him he's in the clear.

My only hope is that you'll forgive me

for all the things I've done.

I wanted to be better.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

There are so many ways
I could've been a better man.

But I did not kill Jessica Meyer.

What?

I was trying to help her
to get away from him.

- He's not answering.
- This guy's in trouble.

I need to get an APB on Ben Mitchell.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I'm just...

so tired.

You win.

What is he doing?

No.

♪

[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Oh, my God.

No.

[SIGHS]

Geez.

♪

CJ: Wasn't your fault.

I know that's what you're thinking.

I should have gone easier
on him today or...

tried harder to keep his name
out of the press.

Ezra Wolf...

he put Ben on blast.

Destroyed that man.

[LIQUID POURS]

Not you.

♪

I've been such a bitch.

We're not supposed to use
that word anymore.

I don't hear you disagreeing.

You were hurt.

I get it.

You know, I...

I saw... what you went through back then.

But I never...

I never felt it, not until today...

...not until I saw what happened to Ben.

The world wrecked him.

[SIGHS]

And you did what you had
to do to survive.

And I don't get to be angry about it.

You forgive me?

Come here.

There's nothin' to forgive.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

Ezra Wolf is gonna obliterate
everything in his path

to get Sevvy off.

And he'll succeed if we don't stop him.

So, what do you want to do about it?

It's already in motion.

I'm gonna out-wolf the Wolf.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]

Ezra Wolf killed Ben Mitchell.

Wolf likes to say
that we at the D.A.'s office

rush to judgment, when he is the one

who publicly called
for Ben Mitchell's head.

It's the same crap
he pulled eight years ago.

Don't let him get away with it.

It's too late to save Ben,

but I am not gonna let the lives
of any more innocent people

be destroyed by Ezra Wolf.

I will not let him twist the truth

or play the race card.

This case is not about race.

It's about domestic violence.

Sevvy Johnson killed Jessica Meyer,

and we are going to prove that.

But you've heard enough
from Ezra Wolf and from me.

It's time to let Jessica speak.

[CROWD MURMURING]

[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]

He did it again.

[SNIFFLES]

He gave me this when I said
I wasn't ready to leave

Ray's dinner party last night.

He gave me this when we got home.

I laughed too hard

when Gabe made fun of Sevvy's
crappy golf swing.

[VOICE BREAKING] I'm such an idiot.

My dad tried to warn me,

and I should have listened.

Dad?!

Dad, are you seeing this?!

I am not gonna wait around
for him to change

- and end up like her.
- Dad!

I'm taking these videos to the police.

MAN: Maya, is this enough
to arrest Sevvy?

[OVERLAPPING QUESTIONS]

One at a time, please.

I will answer everybody's questions.

I'm not going anywhere. I promise.

MAN: Do you feel the D.A.'s office
has enough to indict Sevvy?

Sevvy Johnson killed Je...

[TV SHUTS OFF]

We can spin this.

I don't know how yet, but I'll
figure it out. We can spin anything.

Am I a terrible person?

We're people of our time.

And it's a terrible time.

Hmm.
