You always this early?
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.
You spoil me.
Once my divorce is finalized.
I'll spoil you forever.
You expecting someone?
Not that I know of.
Stop the harassment or I will call the cops.
You hear me, Halstead?
Oh! You scared me.
Come inside. Don't let him ruin our night.
Jacob.
Jacob, no!
Judge and Jury, this Friday 9:00 p.m. central.
And Judge Halstead never actually
admitted to the murder.
Yet you seem to get a conviction based on
circumstantial evidence.
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...
...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.
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.
And we're clear.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Aww.
Alright.
Great job today.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Killed it.
Worst interview ever.
No, awesome.
Already?
Dale, are you stalking me?
- 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.
I'll take you to Mahoney's?
Incredible menu there.
Uh, yeah, Mahoney's right by my office.
I love convenient.
Say 7:00?
7:00 is great.
See you then.
Great.
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.
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.
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.
-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.
Mystery solved.
Uh?
Theodore.
Or Theo is fine.
Dalrymple.
Carla Fuentes, Holly Powell.
Pleasure.
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.
Hello.
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.
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?
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.
-Hey! -Oh!
-Oh, I'm so sorry. -Oh God.
-I'm so sorry I'm late. -Dale!
Why, you look lovely.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Uh, I don't know.
Halstead isn't the first person I've sent to prison.
He's just the most famous.
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.
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--
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.
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.
Goodnight, Theo.
Yeah.
A small town. I'm sure I'll see you around.
Well, he put me on the spot
and I stupidly agreed to another date.
Well, he said he was nervous.
You know, that happens even to really smart,
successful, and attractive guys.
I'd say he was really self-obsessed.
And dimwitted himself.
Oh my God.
Just tell me how you really feel.
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?
Well, how do you know it was a man who attacked you?
That's a fair point.
Oh, by the way, I bumped into Theo at the bar.
Oh. I need details.
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?
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.
So, tell me more about Theo.
Well, there's nothing to tell really, I just saw him
and you know, that was it.
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.
Oh.
-There you go. -Thanks.
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!
Ugh.
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.
Oh my God.
Carla?
Hi, this is James Powell, leave a message.
Hey dad, uh, my office has been trashed,
um, I'm gonna go to Carla's place.
So just call me when you can.
Carla, it's me Holly.
Carla?
- Hey, it's Carla. - Leave a message.
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?
Sure, but I'm in a meeting right now.
Oh okay, if you're in the middle of something, dad, I--
No, no, no, come by the golf club.
Alright. Okay.
-I'll see you there. - See you in a moment, bye.
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.
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.
Maybe there's something at the office.
Hmm?
Barnes is there now, looking around.
Let's go by.
Help.
Help me.
Who are you?
You ever wonder what happens to the families of those that
you send to prison?
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.
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. - 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!
I'm pretty sure I arrested someone here a few years ago.
I miss working with you, James.
Can I help you?
This is my house, what are you doing?
Are you Thomas?
You're trespassing.
- 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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
I still think you ought to stay with me until we find Carla.
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.
I still have a spare gun in my truck.
- Oh God, no, dad. - Thank you. I appreciate it.
But no.
Whoa! Whoa!
Dad.
What the hell?
You scared me.
Oh, I was just making sure that you were safe.
Oh dad, you can text me next time.
Okay?
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 what to do with the--
Oh, dad.
With you gone, if anything happened to you.
Oh.
I'm telling you it wouldn't-- I'd be lost for a while. I know.
Alright, I'll make sure nobody gets rough with you at all
in any kind of way.
Hey, nobody is getting rough with me, dad.
I'm gonna make sure of that. Okay?
-Yes. -Yes.
Yeah, oh, I know strong, steady you got it all down
just like your mother.
-Yes, I do. -Yes.
-Yes, you know what? -Both of you.
-What? -I love you.
-I love you, too. -I love you, dad.
God bless you.
Alright.
-You go on home. Okay? -Okay.
-Drive safe. -Alright.
I know you don't sleep, dad.
God bless you. I know I don't sleep.
-Yeah. -So, call anytime you want.
I know.
- Love you. - I love you, too.
Oh, yeah.
Carla.
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.
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.
You've reached the lead board for Real Crime with Dale.
False tips or threats will be dealt with legally.
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.
Detective Barnes.
Oh, oh my God.
You kids go on, please.
Go.
Just hear me out.
If we get rid of the pond, we can put the ninth hole bar
right there.
It's perfect.
-I mean-- -I don't know.
I like it.
Yes, hello?
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.
Alright, dear.
Alright, we'll be there as soon as possible. Alright?
Okay.
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.
Oh.
What is it, Dale?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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... - 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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
We got Halstead!
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.
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.
Let's play the recording
of Carla's frantic, heartfelt message.
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?
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.
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
to destroy evidence of their crimes.
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.
You laid out some explosive accusations, Judge.
Why would Holly want to set you up
in the first place?
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.
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.
Looks like it's uh, time for me to go back
to my small confining cell.
Enjoy the free world and give my best to Holly.
This is garbage! Turn it off!
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.
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?
Unbelievable.
Come on, dad. Let's go.
I'm gonna prove our innocence. You'll see.
- Honey! - What did he mean?
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.
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?
It was decades ago.
Dad, please.
- Carla's life is at stake. - 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--
I love you. I know, I love you.
I love you, too. God bless you.
Who the hell are you, Theo?
Dale Jones, are you here?
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.
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!
- Oh my God. - Behind you.
You just signed your boyfriend's death warrant.
You got this, you can take care of yourself.
God.
You snake.
Do you have any idea what your lies have done to us?
Holly.
It's my producers that are pulling the strings here.
It's not me.
Oh, you have no spine, Dale?
You just bark when they say bark?
Roll over when they say roll over.
And play dead.
I don't blame you for hating me.
But I think there's something you need to know.
- No, the only thing - I need from you, Dale,
is an on-air apology and a correction.
Do you hear me?
Come back on the show tomorrow.
And-- and make your case to the world.
Come back on your show tomorrow?
Okay.
Alright, but I'm not gonna be set up again.
Do you hear me?
If I come on your show, it's gonna be under my terms.
Okay, well, we'd be happy to work with you.
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.
You're the only one that's lying.
I'm the one trying to help you.
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.
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.
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.
Well, go ahead.
But for now, if you have any way to track your father down,
I suggest you use it.
Hi, this is James Powell.
Leave a message.
Hey dad, can you call me when you get this? Thanks.
You lying bastard!
Thomas, oh God.
What the? Not again.
I saw you going there
I don't know where Carla is, understand?
Now leave my property and I won't press charges.
I'm filming you, you know.
I watched you walk in here.
So come out now or face the consequences.
I'm not here for Carla, Thomas.
Alright.
Uh.
Hey.
Oh, you're kidding me, right?
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
Why did you do that?
-I don't know where James is. -Okay.
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?
Easy.
You know, you appeared out of nowhere.
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.
Oh, James, James, please wake up. Pl--
James!
- 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.
Do you mind?
As a matter of fact, I do mind.
What are you doing here?
Aren't you Dale Jones?
Yeah.
I'm also a friend of Holly's.
I came by to check on her
after everything that's been happening, you know.
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?
Come on.
Of course, you-- you got a pen?
Yeah.
Ugh.
Good morning.
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.
- 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.
Give me a call if anything changes.
Feel better, okay?
Oh God.
Officer, officer!
There's a dead man. Oh my God!
He's--
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?
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.
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?
Oh, boy.
Hey, hey creep, over--
Got your coffee, buddy.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I did my job.
Who is this woman?
What's her name?
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.
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.
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.
Not drugs.
You know for such a smart lawyer,
You sure know nothing about the ways of love.
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.
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.
Then say his name. What is his name?
His name is none of your goddamn business.
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.
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?
No, I do not want that maple bar!
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 person.
-Then say his name? -No thanks to you.
What is his name?
His name is--
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 was married.
So, that's why you threw out the murder case.
Oh, I got one.
I think I got it.
Oh, good-- good job.
Now a little bit carefully back the other way.
Okay.
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?
Be able to spend a bunch of quality time
here in prison with your son.
You leave that boy out of this.
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.
Then say his name. What is his name?
Enough of that.
-You turn that off right now. -Whoa! Whoa! Get--
Turn it off!
Holly!
- Dad! - Darling.
Carla, I thought you were dead.
Oh, Carla.
Thomas?
-I'm sorry. -No.
-Carla. -No.
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.
His name is none of your goddamn business.
I just wanted to get him out of jail.
Well, now you get to join him.
Turn that thing off!
I thought you were my friend.
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.
Enough!
I've had enough of you, turn it off!
Get out of here. Get out of here.
Excuse me, Miss Holly.
-Can we get an interview? -Get out of here.
Okay, sorry to bother.
Well, who would have thought that investing in a country club
would be detrimental to my health.
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.
-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.
Adam David 105.
Gotta do an inmate check?
Dale Jones, check in.
Where's your son?
It ain't over yet.
