This is Judgment Day!

Tonight, a loving sister seeks retribution for a cold and calculated

A lifetime criminal who tried to keep his felonious past a secret finally gets

his just desert.

Will justice prevail?

Only time will tell. As Declan McMahon faces Judgment Day.

And so Declan McMahon begins his date with destiny. In a case that shocked

McMahon was convicted of first -degree murder for the brutal slaying of former

police officer Caitlin Channing. Heather, can you tell us anything about

McMahon's demeanor?

Oh, yes, I can, Stan. As he was throughout most of his trial, McMahon

aloof. I'd even say arrogant.

An angry, troubled young man to the bitter end.

Let's take a look back.

You've been quoted as saying that this program, Judgment Day, is a moral

outrage. But before or after, I called you voyeuristic scum.

You guys didn't report the trial.

You're wallowed in it. If you feel that way, then why are you taking part?

I don't have much of a choice.

Jacqueline McMahon, you have been sentenced to death for the murder of

Channing. You have chosen to decline execution at the hands of the state for

record. Is that your choice?

For the record, screw you.

I will remind you then that pursuant to the agreement that you signed, the state

is no longer responsible for your well -being.

The manner in which you will die is out of our hands. Is this still your choice?

Yeah, just like it's your choice to kill an innocent man.

This isn't justice.

It's the haves culling the have -nots.

If that were true, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather see culled.

Understandably, emotions here are running high, Stan, but no higher than

mind of Allison Channing, sister of the murder victim. What could possibly be

going through that poor girl's mind at a moment like this?

I know what I'd be thinking, and it couldn't be aired on prime time.

Let's hear the judge's final instructions.

Edwin McMahon, I now remand you for corporal punishment.

God have mercy on your soul.

For those of you new to Judgment Day, what you have just witnessed is the

Justice Channel physician injecting Declan McMahon with a specially designed

sterile microchip that has been keyed into the specific frequency on the taser

that Allison Channing will be using while pursuing McMahon.

By design, her weapon will not harm anyone else who may happen to stray in

of a deadly payload of 10 ,000 volts.

Within 50 feet of the microchip, the taser should be able to knock McMahon

Within three feet, two degras distance, its crisp crackle of payback is

guaranteed to kill.

Just this morning, I spoke at length with Allison. She told me that not a day

goes by that she doesn't think of her sister.

You loved Caitlin.

I miss her so much.

Kate didn't deserve what happened to her.

I'm sorry.

It's okay to cry.

She believed that doing the right thing was very often the hardest thing a

person could do.

And you believed that delivering justice... personally to your sister's

is the right thing?

Well, I was raised to believe in forgiveness.

But I don't know if forgiveness is necessarily the right thing in a

like this.

Would Caitlin want you to forgive?

I don't think so.

As most of our audience knows, Allison Channing will have 24 hours to catch Mr.

McMahon. And when she does, our viewing audience will vote on whether they want

Allison to kill him or not.

So the final decision will be Allison's.

However, if Mr. McMahon can avoid being caught, his sentence will be immediately

commuted to life imprisonment with no hope of parole.

Still, a fair enough prize for a man facing the death penalty.

We should also point out, Stan, that the microchip placed under McMahon's skin

can be used by the producers of Judgment Day to make sure McMahon obeys all the

rules of the pursuit as they were laid out to him.

And just like Allison Channing's taser, this little device can cause McMahon

considerable pain and discomfort.

Any attempt to kidnap or harm anyone he may come in contact with during the

course of the show will lead to an agonizing flow of electrical current.

Likewise, any attempt to disable the convict cam we've embedded in his left

will also lead to punishment.

McMahon will have to rely on his wits.

If he's to survive, it won't be because he grabbed someone or found a safe place

to hide.

Not that the public would let that happen. There's a lot of animosity out

towards McMahon.

Not only was his victim a woman and an ex -police officer, but she was

handicapped as well, crippled in the line of duty.

His trial was the highest rated event ever seen on the Justice Channel.

Fifteen million people witnessed the verdict in breathless anticipation.

I think it's safe to say his appearance here on Judgment Day should prove

equally popular.

Declan McMahon, as is customary, you will be given a 20 -minute head start.

Are you ready?

I didn't kill your sister.

Everything you say and everything you do only makes this easier.

I almost look forward to killing you.

Mr. McMahon, I suggest you get a move on.

Is this the last time we'll see Declan McMahon alive?

Stay tuned.

Judgment Day will be right back.

There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the

picture. We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.

The next hour, we will control all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

In the face of violent crime, the thin line between justice and vengeance can

grow ever thinner.

But what happens when society becomes as violent as the criminals it seeks to

contain? How's my hair? It's gorgeous.

Thank you.

Back in ten seconds, Sam.

I'm still waiting for my low -fat decaf. Seven, six, five, four, three,

two...

Welcome back to Judgment Day.

We are now three minutes and 22 seconds into convicted murderer Declan McMahon's

lead time. In two minutes, an unmarked Judgment Day van will drop McMahon at an

undisclosed location.

From there, he's on his own.

Now, once those 20 minutes have elapsed, we invite you to phone us with your

convict sightings at our 1 -800 number or email us with your digital images at

our website.

Remember, a confirmed tip can be worth $1 ,000.

And I know we've been beating it into our audience how special tonight is at

considerable cost to the network. Isn't that right, Ev?

You want an exact accounting?

Oh, I'll give him an exact accounting. I'm missing five fingers and one

that the network's holding as collateral.

Ev, do you want to add anything?

The network loves what you people are doing. It's changing the face of

television as we know it.

Okay, now look, I just want to impress upon you how important tonight is, okay?

Tonight is our Baghdad, all right? What the Gulf War did for CNN, Declan McMahon

is about to do for us.

Already I'm clocking 13 million warm bodies, and that's before the hunt has

begun, and I'm guessing those numbers are going to double as the show goes on.

What does that mean?

That means that by the time Declan McMahon is zipped into his body bag, the

Justice Channel will have gone from the little network that couldn't into a

player, thanks to us.

So let's do it, people. Come on, let's get out there and do it. And remember,

keep it crisp. I want pace, pace, pace.

All right, let's go.

Fly, kids, fly. There you go.

Changing the face of television.

You really are Mr.

Inspiration, aren't you? You don't think that's what you're doing?

Jack, the van just dropped off Declan.

Ah, great.

Where'd we drop him off?

An industrial park just north of here.

Wonder why he wanted to go there.

Let's go full screen.

So, Ev, you haven't mentioned the big meeting.

How'd it go?

Is the network going to pick up our show or not?

Well, it was a spirited discussion.

There was some resistance, of course. It's a big step for the network.

Punchline. They want to order 22.

Yes. Oh, I told you they were hot for us, didn't I?

Provided the show delivers the numbers you said it would, which I think you've

already done.

Well, it looks like you and I are going to be joined at the hip for a little

while, huh? I must say I'm quite thrilled for you, Jack.

Thrilled for both of us.

Well,

I'm... Thrilled to hear you say that, Ev, because, um... To be honest with

I heard a slightly different version of how that meeting went.

Really? Yeah, really.

I heard that you tried to talk the network out of picking up our little

What was it that you said? If you insist on continuing with this series, I find

it highly irresponsible, but if that's what you want to do, I can keep Jack in

line. Am I close?

Guess you had a few friends in the room. A few more than you, that's for sure.

Look, Jack, I don't want you to take this the wrong way. When you pitched

show to the network, nobody was a bigger fan than me. These first specials,

they've been really amazing.

But weekly?

That scares me.

Well, of course it scares you, Ev, because you're a dinosaur.

One of those leaf eaters the other dinosaurs like to fuck with.

We put that many criminals onto the street week after week. We're tempting

If even one innocent person gets hurt because of us... No one is going to get

hurt, except for the criminals.

Eddie, look, 16 million viewers are tuned in to what we're doing right now.

That's more people than voted in the last election. It's a great show, Jack.

one's disputing that. We do what the cops, the courts, and the prisons wish

could do. We catch and we punish criminals.

To Mr. and Mrs. John Q.

Mustardstain out there, we are justice.

Jack, I think you're blowing it just a little out of proportion.

Really? Well, that's very funny.

I thought I was understating it.

Jack, McMahon's going into a building.

Man, I wish that convict cam had sound.

Ah,

Dalek's security.

He's going to see his brother.

Stay back. I don't want them to see us.

It's not like they won't figure it out, bro.

Hey, you okay?

What do you think?

I know they're going to figure it out. I'm counting on that.

I still want the TV's audience getting too far ahead of me. I want them to see

it in a certain way.

You have that security camera footage?

Yeah, it wasn't easy, but wait till you see it.

You were right about it being messed with.

You were framed.

Can you show it to me? Look, meet me. You know the place.

Yeah, okay.

A hundred bucks says Dooley turns his brother in before the 20 -minute

hits zero.

You really think the rest of the world's as cynical as you are?

Hmm. Yeah, I do.

Does that mean you take my bet?

Hardly. Don't pout, Ev. Makes you look more wrinkled than you already are.

Time is almost up for Declan McMahon.

Remember, callers, be prepared with both an address and nearest cross street

when reporting a fugitive sighting.

Standby, phone lines will be opening in minutes.

Heather, how are things at your end?

Stan, they're fitting Allison with a hunter cam.

Allison, McMahon still says he was framed. Does that bother you?

It saddens me more than anything else.

I mean, think after the trial and all the appeals, he'd finally just say, you

know what, I did it. I'm sorry.

Allison, woman to woman now, do you think he's counting on you being soft at

moment of truth?

Well, if he is, he'll be disappointed because I will do the right thing.

And on that note, Declan McMahon's 20 minutes are up.

Good luck, Allison.

Back to you, Stan.

All right, here we go. The phones are ringing off the hook. She's a winner

our audience.

Hey, put that away.

I don't trust this McMahon character.

I want to be prepared just in case.

Ev, if you zap him too many times, you're going to piss off our audience,

People want to believe in the purity of the chase here, the drama, the danger.

If you quick kill him, I'll strangle you.

Already the sayings are coming in fast and furious, and all of them point to

stadium industrial park.

Heather, has Allison gotten word?

She has, Ben, and she's beating in that direction.

Still, the question on everyone's mind remains, why hasn't McMahon put more

distance between himself?

And Allison Channing.

Go to the convict cam now.

Ready convict cam.

Go.

Beckman, move it.

You can get away from her. What the hell is he doing?

Get me an audience belt now.

I can prove my hand.

I have actual proof.

Save it.

Just let me show it to you. Please, come on. It's a trick. He's going to do

something to her.

Please?

Is that what my sister said before you stabbed her to death?

Give it up.

You can't kill him yet, honey. It's too early.

Our ratings will go right in the friggin' toilet.

Where's the audience, though?

Come on.

Come on.

Ask yourself.

Before you pull that thing again, please.

If I'm guilty, why?

Why aren't I running away?

The audience vote is running 70 -30 to kill him now.

Great. Then they'll all turn off their friggin' TV sets.

Go ahead.

Go ahead. Finish him off, honey.

Kill me while you're at it.

You're not a killer.

Come on.

Don't let him turn you into one.

Let me show you the truth.

Son of a bitch.

Wait a second. Let him go. He could have killed her. He's getting away.

Ev, let him go. He didn't hurt her.

Let him go.

Ev, we need a show.

Are you okay?

Ev?

Listen to me.

We need a show.

new life for declan mcmahon clearly he's decided to make this a little more

difficult trying to disorient despite moving his convict i can't watch this

what's the matter haven't you ever been to sundance this kind of crap wins

awards throw it to heather will you okay ready to and go to allison

are you all right i'm fine more scared than her he said that he could prove his

innocence any idea what he meant no and to be honest i really don't care

And so the hunt continues.

Back to you, Stan.

What's he doing now?

It looks like he's on some kind of fire escape.

Fire escape?

I'm really starting to like this guy.

Great. I'm starting to hate him.

It looks like he backed into that building.

What the hell is he doing now?

Maybe he's taking a breather.

But this is TV, Mr. McMahon. We have a very short attention span.

The rules explicitly state that hiding out is strictly verboten.

You can stun him. Do not kill him.

Just a couple of seconds, okay? Got me? It's very big of you.

Thanks.

Again?

Tough little monkey, huh?

High threshold of pain, that means a great third act climax.

No one's going to be channel surfing when our little lady pins him down,

for sure.

Ooh, look at our ratings, 18 million and still climbing.

Tell Stan to kick in the file stuff, will you?

It should probably come as no surprise that Declan McMahon is caging. From his

beginnings on Amina Street, he's shown a remarkable ability to improvise.

Burglary, break -in, entering, grand larceny.

But clever lawyers and technicalities kept McMahon from serving any more than

few months.

By the time he was 25, he was already on his way to becoming a career criminal.

And then arrested.

McMahon tried to go straight.

He changed his name and, with the assistance of his brother, applied for a

at Dulles Security, where he crossed paths with former police officer Caitlin

Channing, who learned the truth about McMahon and his criminal past and

confronted him with it, only to pay the ultimate price.

On the night of August 21st, McMahon went to Caitlin's apartment.

He surprised her, stabbing her 14 times.

And then to cover his tracks, tried to make it look like a robbery.

Damn him.

He's just sitting there. Hit him again.

Dooley, hurry up, man.

See, he's inside somewhere.

Is that an office?

Are you all right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry it took me so long. It's okay.

Stay back.

Don't you want to see this?

Not yet. I don't want to give it away.

Just tell me what you found.

Nothing. And that's the point.

Nothing? There's 10 hours of security footage here.

Everything the lobby camera recorded five hours before you showed up at that

cop's apartment and five hours afterwards.

And you're the only person, except for the other tenants on the tape.

Okay, Dooley, now you're losing me, because if there's no one else on the

I am so screwed here.

Well, there's someone else on the tape, all right, only you can't see him.

They went frame by frame, and they removed every little bit of whoever was

ahead of you, everything except for frame 259. What's there?

That's the one little piece they missed.

I almost missed it, too. It's real subtle. You should check it out. No,

take it with me. I've been here too long already. They're gonna be on to me. I

gotta go. What difference does it make?

This is the proof you need.

I wish I could see every cop's face when the truth hits TV land.

That could be easy, man.

Don't make yourself crazy, bro.

You got him.

What if the cops didn't do it?

You know, my whole plan was to show the world how far the cops went to try and

get me, but now that I know this...

Maybe those people at Judgment Day.

What? You're nothing to them. Just call it a hunch, okay? But if the cops know

that I wasn't the guy, they'd be backing off. They'd be looking for the real

killer. Yeah, I guess.

And the network would have the technology.

Remember that bozo they assigned to me from my attorney?

Well, he tried to get the tape. It took him almost a week. Maybe this is the

reason. I guess it's possible. But why?

That's the million -dollar question now, isn't it?

Until I find out the answer, there's no point giving away what we know.

We need to buy some time.

You get something sharper in here?

You mean like a knife?

No, like a grapefruit spoon.

What the hell was that?

What the hell just happened? Damn it, if some lowlife just mugged my convict,

I'll kill him.

We've lost signal from the convict cam.

That's it, I'm pulling the plug right now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on. We have a sighting and we have an address.

We know where he is?

Yeah, relax, will you? We'll get him.

We always get him.

See? Overreacting as usual, my friend.

Would you like me to hold that thing for you?

Why aren't people reacting to him? Where are the phone calls?

The ski mask.

Oh, that smart SOB.

Nobody knows it's him because he's wearing a ski mask. Brilliant. Five

Yes.

Is that Maple Street?

Is he downtown?

Look, the terraces, the pistons.

The World Trade Center.

Bad mood, Declan. Bad mood.

Alert the public to a possible ski mask.

Come on, you've got to admit this is sort of fun, don't you think?

Yeah.

Real blast.

Or $7 an hour, depending on how long you're here.

Piles are $2 .50 extra. It's fine.

Don't need them.

Privacy, on the other hand, will cost you more.

$20. Buy you 20 minutes.

and Dave Videofood race towards the World Trade Center, a kill shot may at

be imminent.

Will McMahon slip away again?

Heather Cottrell spoke with this cagey criminal several days ago.

You've complained that the way you've been presented on the show is

Everything you've done is painting me as a killer.

Do you deny your criminal history?

You're asking me if I was a model citizen. No, I wasn't. I wasn't the

little thug you portrayed me as either.

Oh, now wouldn't you say that that's splitting hairs?

I mean, by any other color, isn't a thief a thief?

Oh, yeah. A thief.

A thief.

A murder is a murder if that's what you want them to be.

I do the set frame 259.

Allison Channing and her hunter cam are closing in on Declan.

What kind of a friggin' moron hides in a public place?

Thought this guy had more sense than that.

Unless, unless he wants us to know where he is.

Is that scary, Jack?

Maybe this guy's just a little bit smarter than you?

You know something, Ev? I've decided I don't want you keeping me in line.

I don't think it's up to you.

Where is the damn thing?

Oh, I know.

Network's got to have somebody in my face.

Heaven forbid they let me just do my job.

Give me the kill fob, Jack. But you know what? I bet I can talk them into giving

me somebody younger.

Somebody hipper.

Somebody with real... in his pants instead of Depend.

Give me the damn kill fob, Jack.

Come and get it.

Oops.

Son of a bitch.

Jack, she's getting close.

Ladies and gentlemen, never before has a criminal gone to such lengths to spare

himself what he deserves.

Declan McMahon has removed his own eyeball in order to rid himself of the

that was planted in his head.

Go to commercial break now.

Go to commercial.

Oh, my God, what an act break. This guy is fantastic.

Johnny Citizen has got to be filling his shorts right now. Jack, this thing is

useless.

For God's sake, that maniac could be anywhere.

Yeah, exactly.

And look at our numbers. 24 million served and loving it. Hey, when we come

of commercial, I want you to go to that piece of tape I had you shoot where the

shrink calls Declan a dangerous sociopath.

Our audience is going to freak.

Pulling the plug. This is Everett Costello over at... I'm saving you from

yourself. Believe me.

Don't you think the network is drooling over these numbers?

24 million to one says you lose.

Tell Dan to offer $5 ,000 for the first confirmed sight of our boy and $10 ,000

for the first piece of Digicam with Declan's face on it. Okay.

You really think the network is that irresponsible?

You still don't get it, do you?

Nice.

Hey, that's $5 ,000 for the first confirmed sighting.

$10 ,000 for a verifiable digican.

Our operators are standing by.

Heather?

Thanks, Stan.

Allison, you've heard the rewards. You've seen people's reactions. What do

do now?

Go home and wait until someone decides to help me. There's nothing more I can

do. And there you have it. A despondent Allison Channing asks you viewers to

help bring this criminal to justice.

Have you seen this man? If so, call us here at Judges Day at 1 -800 -555 -0199.

That should have been all over once they found Dooley.

You don't seem to get it. I'm running out of time. This man killed my sister.

I was promised a chance to avenge her death.

And you'll get your chance.

Just don't blow it when you do. And why are your people constantly second

guessing me on the air?

It's a TV show. People like a character arc. We're just trying to give your

personality a little more dimension.

My personality does not need more dimension. I just want what I was

I want to kill Declan McMahon.

You're so interested in killing.

Let's get started.

If you fail your sister, If Declan evades you for the full 24 hours, how

that make you feel?

Pretty terrible, I guess.

Like I let her down.

But then again, I think that Kate would know how much I wanted to do right by

her.

Tighten two.

Ready two and go two. Okay, folks, let's get the crime scene reenactment up,

followed by the trial highlights.

How long before we can get that on the air?

30 seconds.

Do it in 20. I don't want to lose our audience.

Yeah. Hi, how you doing? Welcome back. Where you been?

Excuse me.

Ready three.

I spoke with the network.

They couldn't be happier with how things are going. They've got advertisers

screaming at them to get them on the air.

Now, they're even thinking 22 episodes won't be enough that maybe they'll turn

over their whole primetime schedule to Judgment Day.

What can I tell you, Evie? It's a brave new world.

There's no part in it for you.

So it seems.

Which is why I told him I quit.

Oh, jeez, Eddie, I'm sorry.

I almost feel like it was kind of my fault.

Glad I could make your day.

My day?

How about my day, my week, my whole friggin' year, pal?

Okay, folks, let's whip up a frenzy. Somebody get me McMahon.

I've seen all the evidence I need to know what you're capable of. You've seen

what they wanted you to see. A what? Like this particular picture?

Huh? Look, why don't you just shoot me and get it over with?

You're right. I should take a chance.

Stand behind the truth.

Hmm?

I didn't kill your sister.

You were found.

Outside of her apartment with her blood all over your hands.

Yeah, but she was already dead when I got there.

I don't deny that I threatened her. That was stupid.

Me going there, that was even more stupid.

But I had to do something for my brother Dooley. She was going to have him fired

for bringing me to the company.

What, she was going to fire your brother?

Yeah, and he was always there for me.

Just like Caitlin was always there for you. He put his ass on the line trying

help me go straight.

No firing me, that was one thing, but firing Dooley?

Well, why did you break in?

You think if I just buzzed Caitlyn, she would have opened up her doors to me?

I've done a lot of bad stuff in my life, and I'm not proud of it.

But I've never killed anybody.

All the same, somebody wants me to go down for this, and they want it badly

enough that they altered the only piece of evidence that would have cleared me.

Why would they do that?

I don't know.

The proof's right here on the desk.

This is the security tape taken from the lobby camera of your sister's building

the night she was murdered.

Put them on here.

There's somebody else on here, too, who came in in front of me.

Except now they're not on the tape because they've been digitally removed.

They're counting on you to kill me no matter what.

They're counting on me to give you all the reasons to do it.

I say go ahead.

But before you do, just...

Just take a look at the disc.

The camera takes a picture every four seconds.

It takes more time than that to get inside the door and through the lobby.

So either he's the fastest man alive or, like you say, someone wiped out those

frames. You have a picture of a man's reflection, but not the man who made it.

You better be careful.

You keep thinking about all this, you're going to start to believe me.

Well, so what?

So there was a pizza guy.

I mean, all that says is that someone in the building ordered pizza.

It hardly proves that someone else killed her or that someone's trying to

you. Okay, fine, he's just a pizza guy. Maybe he's not the killer. But maybe he

saw the killer.

Maybe he saw nothing at all, but it points back to the same question,

it? Why make him disappear?

I want to do the right thing.

I'm sure you do.

No, I think I can find this guy. At the very least, I know where he works. I

just need a little time.

Can you give it to me?

I'd really like to know what the people at Judgment Day are going to think about

this. I'll meet you back here in two hours.

No.

Here.

Take my cell phone.

It'll be safer.

Thanks.

Declan, if you screw with me, I'll hunt you down.

And I will kill you.

So you were in contact with your brother during his trial?

Look, I felt bad for him. It was my fault he even applied for the job at

Security in the first place. At what point did he arrange to meet with you to

to your apartment?

Look, my brother is an innocent man. We have proof.

Whose idea was it to cut out his eye?

What if I ask him a few questions?

Who the hell are you?

I'm from the network.

Is that right? And I suppose you think that means that you can just...

Detective, my network prosecuted Mr. McMahon. We still hold his life in our

hands.

I think I can get his brother here to tell us where he is.

You see, unlike Detective Meacham, I'm not hamstrung by the

law.

A pizza delivery guy did it?

Well, to be honest with you, Jack, I really don't know who did it.

Only there was a pizza guy on the tape, but someone had him removed.

Boy, that is puzzling.

And it does seem to suggest exactly what Declan said, that there was somebody

else in the building right when he said there was. So then he might be telling

the truth.

You know, my network executive, Everett Costello, has been itching to juice

Declan since the get -go. He's been nervous as hell about this whole thing,

now I see why.

He obviously altered the surveillance tape. But why would he do something like

that? He hates me, and he hates the show.

Imagine what would happen if it got out that we went after an innocent man.

We'd be yanked right off the air.

And rightly so.

See, network people live in a constant state of fear, and nothing makes them

more fearful than a show like ours. Well, I want to meet this man.

I want to hear it straight from his lips why he would do such a terrible thing.

I'm sure you do, but we have to be a little more careful than that. I mean,

have to think about Declan's safety right now.

Believe me, if Everett wants him dead, he'll figure a way to make it happen.

I should get in touch with Declan.

I'd like to meet with him. Do you think he'd do that?

I think so.

Let's hope so.

Everett Costello tried to rewrite this show, but we caught him just in time.

Wait till he sees the ending I have in mind for him.

Up mine, up yours, fella.

We're about to come out of commercial.

What do you want to do now?

Go to the crime scene reenactment again.

Just do it.

with nightfall approaching, the overriding question still remains.

Where is Declan McMahon?

The night of August 20th?

Yeah. He delivered a pizza over to the Wellesley on Grover.

And you're looking for him because I stick them on the tip and it's been

me alive ever since.

You sure you've never been in here before? I can swear I've seen you.

Yeah, I'm sure.

I get that a lot.

I've seen the book away.

I don't think I can help you.

The guy who was delivering that night, Joey, he doesn't work here anymore.

Last I heard, he was in jail.

Juvenile hall, actually. They got him for breaking and entering.

I didn't know he had a rap sheet when I hired him.

Juvie.

How old is he? Told me he was 19.

Turned out he was 16 by a couple of minutes, I think.

What's the matter with you?

Nothing.

I just realized something.

After several hours of questioning, the police released Julie McMahon, saying

they had no grounds on which to hold him any longer.

Rumor has it you used the grapefruit spoon to remove your brother's eyeball.

that true?

I'm not talking about this, okay? Do you know where Declan is? Just get out of

my face.

Is it true that when the police cornered you, you tried to squish the evidence?

With the release of Julie McMahon, the hunt for Declan McMahon takes another

strange turn. Where is Caitlin Channing's murderer?

Who else may be in danger at this very moment?

Yeah, that Joey.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out he was some kind of

killer.

Dooley.

I know why they cut me up.

Why was that?

He's from the network.

Look, it's okay. He wants to help.

Why is that? So you can give your ratings a little boost?

You guys have taken the whole idea, right and wrong, and turned it into a

freaking game show.

Yes, we have, haven't we?

Did you find him, the guy on the security tape?

Yeah, I found him. His name's Joey.

He's only 16.

Too young for the death penalty.

That's why Jack needed you to be guilty no matter what. He had no show

otherwise.

You didn't know that, right?

No, but I should have.

Allison.

Declan, I showed the security tape to the producer and he was shocked.

The network did this to you.

The executive on the show is named Everett. He'll do anything to stop you.

Is that right?

Yep, you're going to be okay.

The producer wants to meet us here in a few minutes, so you've got to come back.

Mm -hmm.

Declan, I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize, Allison. It's not your fault.

They set the both of us up.

Julie, the producer wants to meet with me.

He says you're the bad guy.

Well, he would know, wouldn't he?

How do I know he's not telling the truth?

I guess you're going to have to take my word for it.

If you do go, half the police force will be waiting for you.

I don't know that.

So you are going.

In that case... Easy.

You're going to need D.

And it looks like we're going to view the murder reenactment scene yet again.

that right?

Declan McMahon had just been spotted on a motorcycle traveling south in the

direction of downtown.

Hi.

Hi. Sorry if I'm early. I just wanted to make sure everything would go just

right.

Now, where was he when you called him?

I don't know.

What are you doing?

You won't need this anymore.

It's like our boy's almost here.

You know, I have to thank you.

This is going to be a great finish.

When Declan gets here, he's going to kill you. What are you talking about?

You saw the tape. You know that Declan's innocent.

Yes, but he appears to be guilty.

People want him to be guilty.

Who are we to take that away from them?

You should want him to be guilty too.

Otherwise, who pays for your sister's murder?

Look, I wanted justice for my sister. You call this justice?

Killing an innocent man? There are bigger issues here besides one man's

innocence. That means that guys like Declan McMahon are expendable. Well, so

it.

Understand?

Yeah, I think I do.

I think this will work.

Smash cut to Allison's apartment.

The Judgment Day producer arrives.

He tries to make a deal with Declan, but Declan is beyond reason.

He turns the gun on Allison.

Now you're a murderer. How does it feel?

I'll get back to you on that.

Murdering bastards.

I grab for the gun.

And I shoot him in the leg.

But he keeps coming.

So I have to shoot him again.

But Declan still keeps coming.

So I do what I have to do.

Ready for your close -up, Jack?

No, that can't be.

No.

No!

No!

No!

Let's go to commercial. Let's go, let's go.

So much for Judgment Day.

Looks like you got your wish, Ev.

We're history.

Oh, I don't know about that.

I'd say we got at least one more episode in us.

So tell us, Declan, being on the other side of the gun, do you still consider

this a moral outrage?

Yeah, I do.

Then why are you doing it?

I don't have much of a choice.

No, no, please.

Oh, please, no, no.

To those who would corrupt the search for truth, be warned.

The sword of justice cuts both ways.

Next on Wi

-Fi, Steel Dawn.

On an all -new episode of Les.

You know, maybe when you get over all this, you know, maybe you and I could...

You know, sometimes I see a pretty girl, you know, and I feel a little bit

crazy. I'm sorry. It's just that, you know, your daughter here, I mean, the

one that is, you know, she seems to have enough for me.

Want some strange?

Have some Les.
