Previously on "Notorious"...

It's Dana Hartman.
I desperately need your help.

Julia: Her daughter, Maya,
is the one who found the body.

She said she could be a suspect.

That's Willow and Preston.
They're the other roommates.

Someone just sent this
video to Louise anonymously.

You were actually having sex
with your daughter's boyfriend?

What do you want not to air it?

What if Dana agrees to
be a guest on your show?

- Air the tape, Julia.
- I made a deal with Dana not to air it.

Air the tape now.

Jake: Dana went on the show.

She did everything you
asked. We had a deal.

The gun used to commit the murder

belongs to singer-performer Ray J.

Several other celebrity homes
have also been broken into,

in these so-called Bling Ring burglaries.

Maya and her roommates
are the Bling Ring.

At best, you might have her on
possession of stolen property.

Her roommates rolled on her
for shooting Johnny Weston.

[Beeping]

[Camera shutter clicking]

Woman: Step out.

- [Knock on door]
- Come in.

Thanks for coming.

We need to talk.

Fine. I need to talk.

I feel like you're blaming me
for running Dana's sex tape,

and that's not fair.

I said you didn't do enough to stop it.

I don't believe you purposefully violated
our agreement, Julia, but, um...

But I could have done more to prevent it.

- So, what happened?
- I don't know.

I've been mad at Dana for so long.

Maybe I let our past affect my behavior.

But at the end of the day, it's on me.

And I'm sorry.

Thank you.

How's Maya?

She is looking at murder
one, so not great.

I'm hearing the D.A. is your guest tonight.

That's true.

Is there any way you might
invite me into the control room?

Just to keep things fair and balanced.

It's the least I can do.

In breaking news, Maya Hartman,
the 21-year-old daughter

of disgraced news anchor Dana Hartman,

has been arrested for the murder
of her roommate, Johnny Weston.

A possible connection between the murder

and the recently reported
Bling Ring has come to light.

Our guest tonight is Los Angeles
District Attorney Max Gilford.

Mr. Gilford, tell us what this Bling Ring

has to do with Johnny Weston's murder.

Cue the photo.

We believe that Maya Hartman,

along with her roommates
Willow Ferrera, Preston Mann,

and Johnny Weston,

acquired a gun belonging
to performer Ray J

when they broke into his
home several weeks ago.

Evidently, this so-called Bling Ring

doesn't just take objects
of monetary value.

Well, entering a celebrity's home,

touching their personal
items is a brush with fame.

Maya and her friends wanted
to feel part of the in-crowd.

That's the dark side of celebrity culture.

Have you even noticed that the
D.A. has incredibly small hands?

Oh, his hands are fine.

Louise: I hear Preston and
Willow are cooperating

- in the state's case against Maya.
- That's right.

They will both be appearing as
witnesses for the prosecution.

- What'd they get in return?
- Ask about the deal.

Were they offered immunity
in the robberies

in exchange for their testimony?

Yes, but that's just a part
of the prosecution's case.

The gunshot residue on Maya's
sleeve, the ballistics report,

and Maya's discovery that her boyfriend

had slept with her mother...
All of it adds up.

Maya Hartman killed Johnny Weston.

And yet there's no murder weapon.

Louise, ask about the gun.

Louise: The gun hasn't been found yet.

That's of little consequence.

Not only do we have an abundance
of forensic evidence...

We also have a written statement
by the suspect that reads...

And I quote... "I want to kill Johnny."

It's rare to get an admission in writing,

but there you have it.

That is pretty compelling.

I think anyone would agree.

- How does Ma...
- [Remote clicks]

Don't watch the news. It's never good.

[Car alarm chirps]

Don't be scared.

Put down what you're reaching for.

My wallet's in my purse.

I don't want your wallet.

I'm here to present an opportunity.

Really? What's that?

An interview with Carlos Mora.

You know him as "El Toro."

Come on. [Scoffs]

He likes your show.

He watches when he can.

He's got 10,000 Federales
searching for him

since his prison break,
and he's watching my show?

He watched it tonight...

Live in Mexico.

There is a plane ready to take you.

You have 48 hours to decide.

[Chuckles]

I don't just hop on a plane
to interview mass murderers

without working out the details first.

El Toro wants to tell his story
to the world, his legacy.

If you say no, we will
find somebody else.

But if you accept my invitation,
you tell no one.

You can call me on this.

My number is programmed.

[Vehicle door closes]

[Sighs]

[Chuckles]

I saw that Jake didn't seem
too happy about my interview.

I don't want to talk
about Jake right now.

I mean, I don't want to talk at all.

[Cellphone rings]

[Doorbell rings]

I don't care.

-
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Okay. Shh. I'll be right back.

- Shirt.
- Ooh!

Thanks.

- What took so long?
- I'm busy.

That's no way to speak to the talent.

We...

[Door closes]

Mr. District Attorney.

I see you're ready to present your case.

[Clears throat]

Louise, it's obviously not a good time.

This can't wait.

Sorry.

Max, would you mind opening
us a bottle of Pinot?

Sure.

This better be so good.

El Toro wants me to interview him.

El Toro?

The biggest narco
trafficker since Escobar?

He's the most wanted man in the world.

He's not coming out of
hiding to go on our show.

He wants me to go to him.

He's gunned down women and children.

He's a monster.

Julia, I became a journalist
to cover stories,

not to play it safe.

El Toro could be the
biggest get of our lives.

How do you even know it's real?

The guy who approached me,
Eduardo Nogales...

he's El Toro's longtime lieutenant.

What's the plan?

We call him on a burner phone,

tell him we want to do the interview,

and then El Toro's private jet

whisks us off to wherever he's hiding.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but you have to clear it with network.

You need to tell Darin.

Eduardo said we can't tell anyone.

- You told me.
- Well, I'm not going without you.

Well, good, but you
also have to tell Darin.

[Sighs]

Fine. I'll talk to him.

Carry on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Door closes]

You are not gonna interview El Toro.

You should not eavesdrop on
people's personal conversations.

Your safety aside,
he's just gonna use Louise

to drum up support so the
people he gets rich off

think he's some kind of Robin Hood.

I don't feel like talking anymore.

That's not fair.

I don't understand why they denied bail.

The judge thinks Maya's a flight risk.

You still haven't seen her?

She won't let me.

Dana, right now, my priority is
creating reasonable doubt.

I need your help.

Anything.

You need to go back on "LHL."

Are you kidding me?

Louise has it out for me,

and Julia won't protect me.

Why would I ever go on that show again?

For Maya.

Maya called her diary a burn book, right?

The theory, as I understand it,
behind a burn book

is to write down your feelings

so that you don't actually act on them.

That takes away her motive.

And we need to start
steering public opinion

in her favor right now.

Now, for better or worse,
your sex tape got huge ratings.

You go back on that show,

people will tune in and listen
to whatever you have to say.

- Jake, I can't do it.
- [Sighs]

I mean, last time,
Louise hijacked the interview,

and... and Julia let her do it.

How do we know that won't happen again?

Let me handle that.

You want me to put Dana
Hartman back on the air?

Yes, I do, for a good reason.

The last time I saw Dana,
she told me to stay away.

And even if I said yes, how in the world

would you convince her
to come back on the show?

Why would she ever trust me
again after that sex tape?

Good question.

She's meeting you at noon for lunch.

- I suggest you figure out how
to convince her. - Come on.

Julia, you want her
to believe you're sorry

about airing that tape, then prove it.

Maybe you should start by
forgiving her. Hmm?

All of it adds up.

Maya Hartman killed Johnny Weston.

Frankly, Louise,
I wish they were all like...

[Keyboard clacks]

This is a law firm.

Please act accordingly.

My apologies.

Mm.

[Chuckles]

I brought you some apartment listings.

[Breathes deeply]
Some of them are amazing.

The others are in your price range.

That's sweet, but I don't
have time to look.

Jake has me analyzing the
D.A.'s interview on "LHL."

Ella, you are so smart,

and you're very beautiful,

but you live in a motel.

It's time to move.

The first step's always the hardest.

Dana, thanks for coming.

[Clears throat]

I'll get right to it.

I should have done more to prevent Louise

from airing that sex tape.

I take responsibility, and I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I never understood why you
fabricated the interview,

and then I realized I
never asked you why.

I just made assumptions.

I'm a reporter, and I should
have asked the question.

I was pregnant.

What?

That's why I never met
my source in Cambodia.

That's why I lied about the interview.

I was pregnant, and I had
terrible morning sickness.

There's no crime in being pregnant.

The network would have understood.

The father was Ronald Teller.

The chairman of the network.

That's why I couldn't say anything.

Because what you're thinking,

everyone else would have believed...

That the first female
to solo anchor the news

slept her way to the top.

Well...

Ronald had been harassing me for years.

- You know his reputation.
- I do.

So, one night, at a company retreat,
he pushed me too far.

So I pushed him back.

Told him to stay the hell away from me.

He just laughed,

and then he threatened to end my career.

What did you do?

I got rip-roaring drunk.

And slept with him?

[Sighs]

Biggest mistake of my life.

Six weeks later, I had morning
sickness in Phnom Penh so bad

that I couldn't make my interview.

I wasn't sure what I was gonna do.

I needed to buy myself some time,

so I submitted the bogus interview.

But my source was real.

My facts were real.

I just never conducted the interview.

And then I blew the whistle on you.

Two weeks later, I lost the baby.

And soon after that,
I lost my entire career.

[Chuckles]

But Ronald Teller kept
running the network

until the day he died.

I'm so sorry.

[Breathes deeply]

Right now, the most important
thing is helping Maya.

So, Jake wants me to go back on "LHL,"

and I don't trust Louise.

I can't control her questions.

Well, then I can't do the show.

Actually, you can.

So, you're claiming that when
your daughter, Maya,

wrote, "I want to kill Johnny,"

that it had nothing to
do with his murder?

That's right.

Under the direction of her therapist,

Maya was writing down her raw,
unfiltered thoughts.

There was no intent.

Maya is a sweet, loving person.

She wouldn't hurt anyone.

So it's just a coincidence
that Johnny Weston

ended up dead two days after Maya wrote,

"I want to kill Johnny"?

Intensive journaling...
That's what Maya was doing.

It's an established form
of therapy pioneered

by a renowned psychotherapist,
James Pennebaker.

I wonder what
Dr. Pennebaker would make

of your sleeping with your
daughter's boyfriend.

I didn't know he was Maya's
boyfriend at the time.

I also didn't realize the
extent of the hypocrisy

surrounding the issue of
women of a certain age

- having sex with younger men.
- You prepped her, didn't you?

I might have given her a few hints.

[Cellphone rings]

The death of a young man who was sleeping

with both a mother and daughter

is a compelling story, regardless of age.

Don't you think?

Maya had no idea that I
was sleeping with Johnny.

Therefore, she didn't have
motive to hurt him.

In fact, Maya didn't find out
about Johnny and me

until you aired that tape on this show.

Louise, go to commercial.

Thank you, Dana.

And with that, we need to take a break.

Man: And we're clear.

[Bell rings]

What's going on?

Jake just got a call from the warden.

Maya's being rushed to the hospital.

She tried to kill herself.

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

[Sighs]

Dana, I spoke with the warden.

He's gonna move Maya to the psych ward.

- Oh, Jake, thank you.
- Yeah.

Maya: Mom?

Yeah, baby.

[Voice breaking] I'm here.

[Sniffles] Hey.

We're all here.

Not the waterworks, okay?

[Breathes deeply, sniffles]

Oh, Maya, I'm so, so
sorry for everything.

I know, Mom.

I know.

You're gonna be okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

I'm gonna get you out of jail,
I promise you.

I love you, Maya.

[Smooches] I love you so much.

The good news is that Maya's okay,

but the press is already
taking her suicide attempt

as an admission of guilt.

We need to get in front of that.

Start pointing the finger at
somebody else, and soon.

Let's go back to the roommates.

Good. Now, the night of the murder...

Preston and Willow said
that they were bowling.

Time of death for Johnny was
between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m.

I want to account for every
minute of their alibis.

I've tried reaching out,

but they won't return my phone calls.

Jake: Willow.

Yeah. Willow and Preston.

No. I mean Willow... She's here.

Willow, I'm Jake.

- What can I do for you?
- Is Maya all right?

They're saying on the news
that she tried to kill herself.

Willow, yes or no...
Did Maya kill Johnny?

No. Absolutely not.

Maya loved Johnny.

Did you love him, too?

What are you talking about?

Come in my office.
I want to show you something.

Oh, my God.

Where did this come from?

That doesn't matter.

No one else will see it,

but clearly, you, Johnny,
and Preston were very close.

Now, once again, Willow,

did you have feelings for Johnny?

No. What about Preston?

Was Preston in love with Johnny?

Preston is only in love with Preston.

And... And this... This was just sex.

Nothing more.

Did it ever lead to fights or jealousy

between the roommates?

The only arguments in the house

were over the Bling Ring,
between Preston and Johnny.

What kind of fights?

Johnny wanted out,

but Preston said that we made pact.

So, Preston was the leader?

Yeah. He's a total fame junkie.

Look, I want to go to the
D.A. and change my statement.

That's why I'm here.

- Will you help me?
- Yes.

But if you really want to help Maya,

for now, I want you to do nothing.

- Why?
- 'Cause with your testimony,

the D.A. feels like he's
got an airtight case.

It makes him overconfident.

So, please, can you hold off
on recanting for now?

If that's what's best for Maya.

Julia.

Louise, it's morning.
What are you doing here?

Darin doesn't want us going to Mexico.

[Scoffs] I'm not surprised.

He said... and I quote...
"Under no circumstances

are you to get on a plane
to an undisclosed location

and interview the most
dangerous man in the world."

He's not wrong.

El Toro assassinated the
head of the Sinaloa cartel

and made it look like
the Calaca cartel did it.

It's the opportunity of a lifetime.

How do we say no?

If we pass, it will just go to
"60 Minutes" or "Dateline."

I can't let that happen.

I'd rather regret going than
not going, no matter the risk.

I still have safety concerns.

We should meet with Eduardo
and get some answers.

I can call him, but I doubt
he'll be too receptive.

- Oh, he'll agree.
- How do you know?

Because El Toro wants
you to do the interview

and it's Eduardo's job
to make that happen.

- Yo.
- What's up?

I think I figured out why
Preston won't call us back.

All the celebrities whose
homes were robbed...

they were represented
by the talent agency

where Preston worked in the mailroom.

- That's how he knew when they'd
be out of town. - Yes. I think so.

Is there any footage
of Johnny and Preston

arguing on the tapes?

Um, Ella didn't mention it. Why?

Willow said that Johnny
wanted out of the Bling Ring.

If we could show they fought...

We could start pointing
to Preston as a suspect.

Mm-hmm. But that only works

if we can poke a hole in Preston's alibi.

Well, they said they were
at the bowling alley.

Ella and I are meeting with
the manager this afternoon.

Okay. Well, keep me posted.

- Will do.
- All right.

So, what do you think?

I think that my lunch
hour is almost over,

and I'm meeting Bradley
at a bowling alley.

Yeah, I can totally see you living here.

[Sighs]

The kitchen's tiny.

It's got an excellent f?ng shui.

You know f?ng shui?

Don't you feel it?

Eduardo wanted to meet here?

He didn't want to meet at all,
but I told him we insisted.

[Door opens, footsteps approach]

Here he comes.

[Door closes]

Se?oritas.

Louise: This is Julia George,
my executive producer.

Like I said on the phone,
no interview without Julia.

El Toro makes the rules, not you.

You're only here because
he already agreed.

[Laughs]

You've got huevos.

I hear that a lot.

You want to know about your safety.

Here's your guarantee.

Carlos wants his interview on your show.

If he harms you, that won't happen.

And if there is one truth,

it's that El Toro always does
what is best for El Toro.

How do we get there?

At midnight, you'll board a plane

cleared for international travel.

You'll spend the night in a small town.

And in the morning,
you will be driven to meet El Toro.

What about our crew?

We will provide everything.

I'll call you on that phone
with the flight information

one hour before departure.

Or you can walk away now.

But let me make something very clear.

If you accept, and you tell
anyone where you're going,

if anyone follows you,

El Toro cannot guarantee your safety.

Are you in...

or not?

We'll see you at midnight.

So, are you still gonna
interview El Toro?

I would like to know.

You told me not to.

Uh, that's not an answer.

Max, I'm not a witness
you're cross-examining.

Okay, fine.

I can help protect you.

Protect me how?

By calling some friends
I have at the D.E.A.

You want to use my
interview to catch Mora?

No. I want you to forget
about the whole thing.

But if you're determined to be reckless,

at least let me do what I
can to ensure your safety.

This is a story, not a manhunt.

Ignacio Enriquez probably
thought the same thing.

He was the lead reporter
for Las Noticias.

He went to interview El
Toro three months ago.

That was the last anybody heard from him.

I know all about Ignacio,

and El Toro has denied any involvement

- in his disappearance.
- You believe that?

Max, thank you for your concern.

But you're still gonna go.

Just try and come back in one piece.

Jake, we got Preston.

We busted his alibi.

Preston and Willow were
bowling, like they said.

They started bowling at
7:34 in a group of eight.

But Preston stopped bowling at 8:03.

We know that because the bowling
alley has electronic scoring.

He started bowling again at 8:57.

- It's a 54-minute window.
- Good job.

Plenty of time for Preston to kill Johnny

and return to the bowling alley.

Willow seemed certain Maya didn't do it.

Maybe it's because she knows
Preston is the real killer.

It's a good theory...

and more than we need
for reasonable doubt.

[Voice breaking] Johnny was 22 years old,

murdered in the backyard of
a home owned by Dana Hartman.

And I don't know the
circumstances around his death.

I don't know if it was
Maya Hartman or not.

What I do know is, coming to L.A.,
leaving his hometown...

That was the worst mistake
of his short life.

The city stole my boy from me.

That poor man.

Heartbreaking. He's so lost.

Megan...

Hmm?

...Louise and I are going
out of town tonight,

and we won't be here
for the show tomorrow.

Where are you going?

Close the door.

We're going to interview Carlos Mora.

El Toro?

You can't tell anyone.

That's insane. No, Julia.

Tomorrow you tell Darin

that Louise and I have food poisoning,

and then you will executive
produce your first show.

- I'm not ready.
- Yes, you are.

Julia, I really think this is a bad idea.

I'm gonna be fine.

And you're gonna be awesome.

I'll see you soon.

[Woman speaking indistinctly on P.A.]

Sign here, please.

Thanks.

[Monitor beeping]

Hey. You're looking better.

How you feeling?

Other than trying to hang myself?

Fine.

That's something that you'll
never try again, right?

You know what I was thinking
about as I was passing out?

What?

You teaching me how to swim.

I was, like, 8 years old and
scared to death of the water.

Yeah, but once we got you in the pool,

you took to it like a fish, remember?

And when you let go of me and
I kept swimming on my own,

I felt free.

But I also knew that you
were there to catch me.

Does that make any sense?

I'm still here.

And so is your mom, and now so is Jake.

We're gonna get through this together.

You believe me, right?

Yeah.

I, uh... I have to go away
for work for a few days.

But, um, you can call me any time you want.

I cleared it with your doctors.

Thanks.

Hey. Any news?

We caught a break.

Not sure what it means,
but it's progress.

If you two will excuse me,
I'm gonna head in.

Yeah, of course.

Um, Julia, listen.

I was thinking... After I talked to Maya,

maybe we could go grab a drink?

Um, I'm headed out of town
tonight on an assignment.

Really? Right now?

Yeah. I-I can't really talk about it.

Then I won't ask.

What was that for?

For helping with Maya.

For trusting me.

For everything.

Have a safe trip.

Did you know El Toro
was one of 11 children?

He was lucky number six.

All but three of his siblings
are dead now.

He's close with his older brother Raul,

but there's been tension recently.

He also owned two soccer teams,

which the government took ownership of

after he was arrested.

He built thousands of
homes for poor people

in his hometown of Moralia.

And then he destroyed them
after they turned on him.

We just flew into Mexican airspace.

Thought you'd like to know.

Is it true El Toro got his nickname

because when he was 8,
he got trampled by a bull?

The next day he went out and
slaughtered it with a machete.

I have a question.

A reporter named Ignacio Enriquez

from Las Noticias disappeared
while interviewing El Toro.

What happened to him?

He didn't ask the right questions.

Darin? Hi. Um, Julia just called me.

Apparently, she and Louise had bad sushi,

and they're both down
with food poisoning.

So, Louise took Julia
to interview El Toro?

I don't know anything about that,

but Julia asked me to run the show.

We have some great segments ready to go

and a line on excellent subs for Louise.

Get Dana Hartman to anchor.

Uh, excuse me,

but Dana Hartman lied
to the American people.

She's a pariah.

She drew huge ratings as a guest.

We can do better.

America loves a comeback story.

Plus, it'll drive Louise insane.

Serves her right.

Why would Dana agree to do it?

You're the acting executive producer.

Go get her. It's your job.

You want Dana Hartman
to sub in for Louise?

Yes.

Louise and Julia are both sick.

Julia told me she was on assignment.

That's what I meant.

Okay.

I'm sorry, but no.

Jake...

Dana will have the keys to the kingdom.

Will she be able to pick her own guests?

Yes.

Hmm. I'll get back to you.

[Door opens]

[Indistinct conversations]

Is there something wrong with the lease?

There's just some language
I'm not comfortable with.

You're a lawyer.

You can sort it out with the landlord.

Or I could just stay where I am.

You can do better.

We talked about this.

Actually, we didn't.

You told me I needed to move

and then dragged me around
to a bunch of places

that I didn't want to see.

If you weren't down for it,
you should have said something.

Ryan, don't try to change me.

Ella, it's not normal to live in a motel.

[Chuckles]

You're right... I'm not normal.

That's not what I said.

I got to go.

They want me to host the show?

That's right, and if we can
get Preston and Willow

to be your guests, we should be able

to firmly establish reasonable doubt.

Why would either of them agree to it?

Willow already agreed to recant.

She came to see me, said she
regretted turning on Maya.

What about Preston?

We want to point the finger at him.

We think he could be the killer.

Okay, how the hell are you
gonna get him on the show?

We're working on it.

[Indistinct conversations]

I appreciate the drinks.

But you'll never get me
drunk enough to say yes

to going on your show
as Dana Hartman's guest.

I don't blame you.

I'm just worried about what
Willow's gonna say about you.

She's...

She's agreed to come on?

Yeah. And she's gonna
talk about the Bling Ring,

about how you and Johnny
fought about his wanting out.

[Scoffs] People argue!

Like, big deal.

But you had the most to lose
if the Bling Ring blew up

because of your contacts
at the talent agency.

Former talent agency. They fired me.

How do you know all this, anyway?

It's my job.

Mm.

It's Maya's lawyer, isn't it?

Jake Gregorian.

He's the one who's trying to blame me

instead of his client.

I wouldn't put anything past that guy...

which is why you need to
defend yourself in person

on air to 10 million people.

[Vehicles approaching]

[Tires screech]

I'm going to need your
cellphones, computers,

any other electronic devices.

I need my phone and my
laptop to do my work.

- That is not a request.
- [Guns cocking]

We'll get these back after
the interview, right?

Hey. What are you doing here?

I wanted to apologize.

Oh.

Ryan, you're a good guy...

- but...
- Oh, God.

You're breaking up with me.

No.

I wanted to explain something.

You know how I told you when I was a kid,

we moved around a lot?

It's because my mother had a habit

of using other people's credit cards...

after she stole them.

She was a thief?

One lesson she taught me was
that when things are good,

they don't last.

No offense to your mother,
but that's nuts.

When things are good,
that's when you dig in,

and you believe they'll only get better.

You and I had very different childhoods,

and I'm not sure I can do that.

Look, you're not ready to
commit to some lease.

I don't care.

I'm not going anywhere,

no matter what stupid crap
your mother taught you.

[Chuckles]

And if you hate the hotel so much,

we can spend more time at your place.

No. Hell, no.

No, you've always got clean
sheets and fresh ice.

[Chuckles]

[Chuckles]

[Horn honks]

[Vehicle door closes]

This is where you'll be
spending the night.

I've slept in worse.

Eat, drink, be merry.

It's all on Carlos.

Delightful.

But be ready. A car will
pick you up at 6:00 a.m.

[Man speaking Spanish on TV]

Tequila, por favor.

Bartender: Claro que s?.

Salud.

What should we drink to?

Survival.

?Disculpe, podria cambiarle al
"Louise Herrick Live" en WCN?

- Claro.
- Gracias.

Wonder who Megan got to replace me.

Not a clue.

Good evening.

Welcome to "LHL."

I'm Dana Hartman,

and tonight I'm filling
in for Louise Herrick.

Son of a bitch.

We've got a great show tonight.

We should have never left town.

It's been nine years since
I've sat in an anchor chair,

and I'd be lying if
I said I wasn't nervous.

But this isn't about me.

It's about finding justice.
It's about the truth.

I bet you this was Darin's idea...

to get back at me for coming here.

When we win a Peabody, he'll apologize.

Well, I'm not gonna watch
this woman ruin my show...

without a lot more alcohol.

I'm a mother, just like many of you.

And now my daughter, Maya Hartman,

has been arrested for the murder
of her roommate Johnny Weston.

My guests tonight are
the two other roommates

who were living in the house
on that tragic night...

Willow Ferrera and Preston Mann.

Thank you both for being here.

So, you cut a deal with
the district attorney,

in essence blaming my daughter,
Maya Hartman,

for the murder of Johnny Weston

in exchange for not being charged

for the Bling Ring robberies.

Is that accurate?

I wish with all my heart that
I had never made that deal.

But I was scared, and I was coerced.

And you'd like to recant your testimony?

Yes, because Maya didn't kill Johnny.

How can you be so sure?

Because I know Maya,
and Maya's not a killer.

She's one of my closest friends.

Tell Dana to wipe that
smirk off Preston's face.

Pivot to Preston.

Preston, I sense by the
expression on your face

that you don't agree with Willow?

That's correct, and I'm not recanting.

Is that because you're the
leader of the Bling Ring,

and, as such, you'd have the most to lose

- if you were to recant?
- No.

It's because your daughter is the killer.

Well, you seem defensive.

Are you worried about being a
suspect in this murder case?

I mean, Johnny did want
out of the Bling Ring,

and you two fought about that.
Isn't that correct?

I didn't kill Johnny, and I can prove it.

I was bowling from around
7:30 to 11:00 p.m.,

when Johnny was killed.

There are dozens of people
who saw me there.

Not from 8:05 to 8:57.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about their
electronic scoring system.

You sat out a full round of bowling.

You left the bowling
alley for 54 minutes.

That's plenty of time to
drive back to the house,

kill Johnny,
and return to the bowling alley.

That is insane!

Tell her that I did not kill Johnny.

He didn't. He's telling the truth.

Well, how do you know that?

Preston and Willow slept together.

She could be lying to protect him.

Preston and Willow slept together.

Willow, is it possible
you're defending Preston

because the two of you
are in a relationship?

What?

N-No, we're... we're
not in a relationship.

You two have slept together.
Isn't that right?

Oh, my God.
Did Jake Gregorian tell you that?

So, Preston left the bowling alley,

went back to the house,
where he shot Johnny,

and you're covering for him.

- Isn't that correct?
- No, no.

That's not what happened.

Preston: The truth...
I left the bowling alley

to scope out Gwen Stefani's house,

'cause we were gonna break in next week.

Well, now, that's a convenient lie.

I took video while I
was casing her house...

Time-stamped and everything.

Here. It's on my phone.

I can show it to you.

That's the front yard.

Well, that just backfired on Dana.

That is the side gate.

That is the backyard.

Cut to commercial.

N-Not yet.

I get that you're a mother
trying to defend her daughter.

But Maya killed Johnny.

She's the only one without an alibi,

the only one with gun
residue on her hands.

And she's the one who wrote
that she wanted Johnny dead.

And that guy pulling all the
strings, Mr. Gregorian,

he thinks that he can get
his client off by blaming me.

Let's take a break, Megan.

Jake, this is gold.

It's clear you had no idea
what she was going through.

Maya was in love with Johnny.

He didn't feel the same way, obviously,

- since he slept with you.
- Okay, enough!

You don't know what you're talking about.

You have no idea!

The truth is...

I killed Johnny Weston,
because he was predator.

He was sleeping with me and
my daughter at the same time,

and when I found out,
I went crazy, and I killed him.

I give the police permission

to go to my safety-deposit box

at Pacific Access Bank on Melrose.

There, they'll find the gun
that I used to kill Johnny.

My daughter's innocent.

That's it. End of story.

Go tight. Hold on her face.

[Voice breaking] Maya, I'm so sorry.

Oh... my... God.

Jake: Dana?

Dana.

Go away.

I'm not going anywhere.

We need to talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

You just confessed to
first-degree murder on live TV.

I know exactly what I did.

But you weren't thinking straight, Dana.

You... You were upset... clearly.

The... The pressure of being
back on air, you know?

- The... The pills you may have taken...
- [Chuckles]

...to calm your nerves.

You're not my lawyer, Jake.

You represent my daughter.

You know, given what
you just admitted to,

you are the one
that needs the lawyer.

Now, look, Dana, I-I get it.

You confessed because you
want to help Maya.

So do I.

This is not the way.

Please, let me help you.

- You want to help me, Jake?
- Yes.

Get Maya out of jail.

I want her home. I want her free.

I want her to have a normal life.

I promised her that.

Please, Jake. Help me do right by her.

[Voice breaking] For once in my life,
help me do right by her.

Please!

Please.

[Crying]

Louise: Stop moping.

Dana Hartman is a survivor.

She'll do just fine in prison.

Probably be running the place.

It's not just Dana I'm
worried about. It's Maya.

She's gonna think her mother
killed the man she loved.

Yeah, after she slept with him.

You know what? We should get some rest.

We have to get up at the crack of dawn.

I know I have my issues with Dana,

but I also know how hard this is on you.

I promise... No more wisecracks.

You want to talk,
I'm here to listen and not judge.

Thanks.

I think I just need to get some rest.

[Footsteps approaching]

Mr. District Attorney.

Go ahead.

Didn't take you very long
to get here, did it?

Well, I'm a big fan of the show, Jake.

- I have heard.
- Stand, please.

- Surprising turn of events.
- [Handcuffs click]

Not so surprising, if you think about it.

You are going to be dropping
the charges against Maya, right?

Releasing her, considering that you

are now arresting another suspect?

Oh, I'll drop the charges...

as soon as I find the gun
and run a ballistics test.

[Sighs, clears throat]

Jake, have you, um, heard from Julia?

No. Why?

No reason.

[Gasps]

[Grunting]

[Muffled shouting]

[Muffled shouting]

[Engines start]
