Previously on In the Dark...

Did you kill Nia Bailey?

(gunshots)

I won't let you get away

with it.

It's a button

from Murphy's jacket.

MAX: They're gonna find Murphy's

DNA and it's only

a matter of time

before they find the bodies.

It's over.

Murphy, you're under arrest. You

have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can

and will be used

against you in

a court of law.

I promise

I'm gonna help

get you out of this.

Good luck.

FELIX: You don't worry, okay?

I am going

to get you out of there.

Felix, y-you're good

at so many things.

Um...

but I think I'd prefer,

uh, a lawyer

who actually...

well, passed the bar, you know?

For this.

Okay.

First of all,

the room I took it in

was incredibly drafty, so it

was impossible to concentrate.

Okay.

And I'm talking

about my sister.

For some reason,

she offered

to take on your case.

Really?

Yeah.

She thinks

she can actually win this.

She says

without a murder weapon,

it'll be hard to convict.

Wow. Uh...

That's... Tell-tell her,

"Thank you."

I will.

Are you-are you sure

you're okay in there?

I know Sam was...

Sam's not here.

They, uh...

sent me straight to...

prison 'cause I-I guess,

apparently, the jail

wasn't accessible.

Oh, thank God.

How's your bed?

Is it comfortable?

Who knows? I haven't even

been to my cell yet.

They-they took me

straight here.

GUARD: That's time.

Okay, your bail hearing

is only in two days, okay?

I will get the money

and I will be there.

Promise?

I promise.

I love you, Felix.

I love you, Murph.

(sighs)

Stop. I'll be okay.

GUARD:

Come on, Mason, let's go.

Bye.

Okay.

(phone clicks)

(door buzzes, latch clicks)

GUARD:

This one's yours.

Thanks.

(sniffles)

Hi, Murphy.

They told me that you...

I paid off a guard

to transfer me.

See, when you killed Nia,

I swore I'd do the same to you.

Please, please, I'm begging you.

I'm begging. Please.

Relax.

There are cameras

trained on every cell.

I can't touch you in here.

But you're gonna

have to leave eventually.

No, please.

And when you do...

I'm-I'm sor-sorry.

...you're done.

(laughs)

This is gonna be fun.

Please, please, please...

Oh, God!

What do you mean

you can't pay her bail?

You're the only one

with money around here.

A defendant's lawyer

can't pay it.

How much money

you got?

You know I have none.

Perfect!

I promised her.

MAX:

Hey, I don't like

that she's in there, either,

but there's nothing we can do.

And you said she's fine,

she's safe.

No, he's acting all

tough, but she...

she's terrified.

I got to do something.

I have 30 grand in cash here.

Dad said to keep cash

around in case you need it.

Yeah, I kept, like, 40 bucks.

Anyway, I'm sure

I can argue

her bail down under 300 grand,

and you only need to pay

ten percent, so...

...take it.

(quiet laugh)

(knocking)

Here.

Her parents weren't home.

What?

(Pretzel whining)

Hey, buddy.

I know, buddy.

Hi.

I know.

JOSH:

Looking forward

to seeing you all in court.

I'm gonna make sure

Murphy rots in prison

for the rest of her life.

Have a good one.

GLENWAY:

You have Ms. Mason's

DNA at the crime scene,

along with the victim's, and

then she fled the country.

Innocent people

don't do that.

Yep, that's because

she's very, very guilty.

And I don't think we'd have

any trouble convincing a jury.

I'd say barring

some miracle,

this case is pretty airtight.

JOSH: What kind of miracle?

GLENWAY:

I don't know, she's

got Lesley Bell.

She's vicious.

But like I said,

a competent jury

will be able to see through

whatever bogus defense

she comes up with.

What defense could

she possibly come up with?

SARAH: Josh.

Did you hear her?

Just be happy for two seconds.

Thank you, Jamie.

LEO:

Chief.

GENE:

Navarro. What can I do

for you, man?

Sorry to bother you.

This was just called in.

I thought you might

want to get down there ASAP,

since the press will

be all over this one.

What is it?

Sorority girl found dead

this morning at North Chicago U.

Okay, let's get it.

Wait, wait, wait--

what about Murphy?

What about Murphy?

Well, I was just thinking

what if we go

after Lesley?

Lesley Bell?

She's representing her.

She won't be able to from jail.

We know she was

harboring fugitives.

What's your endgame?

JOSH:

We get rid of Lesley

and hopefully Murphy

gets stuck with some... some

overworked public defender.

Okay, okay, fine. Uh, Navarro,

why don't you stay here and help

Josh with that, all right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

didn't he start, like yesterday?

Last week, actually.

Last week.

Good luck.

Cool, uh...

let's just call the judge.

GUARD:

Murphy Mason?

Yes.

I'm Joe. I run this cell block.

Okay.

I know you're new here,

but meals are mandatory.

Get to the cafeteria.

What?

No, no, I-I... I...

I... don't...

I can just...

gonna stay in my cell.

I-I don't need to go.

I'm not hu...

I'm... I don't need to eat.

It's non-negotiable.

Get up.

Lunch started five minutes ago.

Can... Oh, my God...

C-Can you...

Will you walk me there?

Because I don't know

I know, and I'm so sorry,

I-I couldn't get to your office.

My stupid cane broke in half.

Ah.

Well, um...

Oh, no.

No, I mean, my-my bail hearing

I can just hang in my,

I don't, I honestly don't need

The-the food is... disgusting.

No, Ms. Mason.

Like I said,

inmates are required

Yes.

And I, I know that,

I literally have

no way of getting there.

So...

I'll tell you what.

I'll assign you someone.

How's that?

(smacks lips)

Assign me someone?

Yeah.

You know, someone to help

pretty sexist.

Yep.

things in here right now.

And she and... Sam

Oh.

Why?

Well, drugs.

Power.

I guess they're one

and the same in here.

Paula's got both.

Come on, come on.

SARAH:

Forensics came back on the pill.

It's a mix of methamphetamine

and hydrocodone.

Oh, great,

so basically a crapload

of heroin and cocaine all mixed

into one teeny, tiny pill.

Yep. Narcotics is looking

into it now.

And from what I hear, no one

has seen this stamp before.

Oh, well, aren't you

the bearer of great news today.

Hey, I have to imagine that

given this pill's an opiate,

someone's probably trying

to take over Nia's territory.

It's up for grabs.

Which is why I have

to cut it off at the source.

I won't let another Nia

take over this city.

Then let's do it.

JOSH:

There you are.

Look, we served

Lesley Bell.

Should have her door cam

footage by the end of the day.

We know Murphy was

staying there,

so Lesley's done.

All right, um...

I'll find you in a bit, but

first I got to go to the lab.

Wait, wait, wait. We got to get

going to Murphy's bail hearing.

I want to talk

to the prosecutor beforehand.

Right, right, right, right.

Okay, let's go,

let's go, let's go.

Whoa, I'm sorry!

You're gonna take two hours

to go to a bail hearing

so you guys can, what,

high-five each other?

Gene...

you just said that you want

to cut this off at the source.

She's right, man.

I'm sorry,

but I got to focus on this.

Let me know what happens after,

okay?

Nice.

FELIX:

So...

are you all set with

the bail hearing today?

Are you kidding me, Felix?

I don't care

about the bail hearing.

My life is about to explode.

So you got

subpoenaed.

What's the big deal?

Felix, I will be disbarred

if I'm convicted.

I could go to prison.

I have to hand over my door cam

footage by the end of the day.

You don't think they're

gonna see Murphy there?

(sighs)

(stammers)

I can't.

I don't know what else to do.

I have to get out of this.

Sorry, Felix.

Sorry for what?

Gran? Hi!

It's Lesley.

No! Are you high?!

I know, too long!

You know, it's so funny you ask,

Uh...

Uh...

Not guilty, Your Honor.

I am not guilty.

Yeah, yes.

Yes, not guilty, Your Honor.

And considering

the fact that she is

severely handicapped,

I think that we could all agree

she does not pose a flight risk

and can be released

on her own recognizance.

Judge,

with all due respect,

this is absurd.

Ms. Mason fled the state,

the country,

and the interrogation room

after she was charged

with the murder of Nia Bailey.

She's the definition

of a flight risk.

But she's blind.

go anywhere again.

at $2 million.
