- Where's Barnes?

- I just texted her.
She's running late.

- Let's get started.

Stuart Weaver. 63.

Juvenile court judge
in Lancaster, Ohio.

He was run off the road
on his way home

from court last night.

His body was found dumped
across state lines

in rural West Virginia
early this morning.

- Why would he take him
all the way there?

- That's a good question.

It might have some
significance.

- Looks like he was executed.

- Cause of death was one shot
to the back of the head.

He was whipped, beaten,
and tortured

before the kill shot.

The torture likely happened
in a wooded area

near where he was
run off the road.

They found blood
and duct tape out there.

He was also wearing
a handwritten sign

around his neck
that said "criminal."

- Did we get anything
off of that?

- Forensics has it.

Everything
that was done to him--

this was personal.
- And extremely rare.

Threats against the judiciary
up 400% in the last five years,

but no sitting judge
has ever been murdered in Ohio.

Until now.

DOJ and the state bar
are furious.

They consider this
an attack on the system.

- Well, judges are never
short on enemies, so.

- Which is why we're gonna
have to deep dive Weaver.

Ortiz, meet up with Barnes.
Talk to Weaver's clerk.

Kristin and I'll check out
the courthouse surveillance,

see if we can put a name
and a face

to our unsub.

- Every defendant,
every defendant's family--

they all hated Weaver.

There's even
a few defense attorneys

I'd put on the list.
- That's a big suspect pool.

- He was controversial.

- How so?

- Weaver had a very specific
idea of justice.

Called this a zero tolerance
courtroom.

If you were found guilty,
you did time.

- Even first time offenders?
- First time offenders,

low-level offenders--
all of them.

He thought it would scare
the kids straight.

- Sounds like a great guy.

- He was an arrogant prick.
Even to me.

- He have a family?
- Divorced.

Wife and adult daughter
live in Seattle.

As far as I know,
they're not in touch.

- Hey, you know what?

Could we get access
to his case load?

- Yeah. Of course.

- Thank you.

- We can start
with the defendants

he's sentenced
in the last few years,

Mostly family

minor in possession of alcohol.

Weaver gave him 18 months.

I know people
with manslaughter convictions

that got less time than that.

- Well, at least he's out now.

I'll put him
in the possibles pile.

Okay, so here's something.

Dylan Norris, 17 years old.

Trespassing charge.
Weaver gave him six months.

- That's lenient by comparison.

- That's not what
his mother thought.

- What's his mother's photo
doing in his file?

- Think she was pretty upset
with the judge.

You threatened to kill
Judge Weaver in open court

When he sentenced your son.

- Yeah.

What, you think I killed him?

- Did you?
- No!

I'm glad someone did.

Son of a bitch
ruined my kid's life.

Dylan was a good kid.

A good student. An athlete.

He was gonna go to college.

Make something of himself.

- How'd he end up
in front of Judge Weaver?

It was a stupid prank.

He was a senior in high school,

and just before
the homecoming game,

he broke into the school
and tagged a few walls.

It was just a prank!

- He got arrested.

- The school didn't have
to get the cops involved.

Trespassing and vandalism.

That's what they got
him convicted of.

Weaver sent him away
for six months.

- Six months for graffiti
and trespass.

- Zero tolerance.

You do the crime,
you do the time.

Dylan, he missed the whole rest
of his senior year.

He missed college applications.

When he got out, he was lost.

He started using,
Oxy, Fentanyl.

- Where's Dylan at now?

- He didn't kill Weaver either
if that's what you're thinking.

He's doing five years
for armed robbery.

One stupid prank.

That shouldn't ruin
a kid's life.

If there's any justice
in this world,

Weaver's rotting in hell.

[door closes]

- Any word on Barnes?

She had trouble
finding a nanny,

so she had to pick up
Anais from school

and drop her off at her mom's.

She'll be here in a bit.

- What have we got?

- West Virginia plate traced
back to a stolen vehicle.

The car was found abandoned
in a shopping mall parking lot

twenty miles from where
the body was dumped.

Security cameras
catch anything?

- Nothing. They were busted.

- What about forensics?

- Weaver's DNA was found
all over the trunk.

As for the rest of the car,
it's a different story.

It was wiped clean,

along with the sign
around his neck.

No usable prints.

- Our guy is covering
his tracks.

- Kris--
What have we got here?

Judge Weaver's side hustle.

- What do you mean?

- I think Weaver's
zero tolerance policy

was more than
a judicial philosophy.

I think he was
making money off it.

- He was on the take?

- I'm connecting
some dots here,

but there are unexplained,
routine deposits

into his account over
the course of seven years

totaling over $2 million.

- From who?
- Can't be certain.

I've turned all this over
to the Public Corruption Squad.

- And?

- [sighs]
I have a theory.

- Which is?

- Weaver turned into
a zero tolerance judge

around the same time
the deposits started.

- So his judicial philosophy
was based on kickbacks.

- Maybe, but when
the deposits started,

When the deposits started,
two things changed.

First, he started
sentencing every kid

to a period of incarceration.

- He didn't do that before?

- No--he was always
a hanging judge,

but not like this.

And the second thing
that changed?

- Instead of sending kids
to the, you know,

the county-run
juvenile detention center,

he started sending them
to these for-profit,

"therapeutic boarding schools"
with contracts from the state.

Some of them as far away
as North Carolina.

- Weaver was trading
kids for cash.

- Yeah, that's what
it looks like.

- That's why somebody
wanted him dead.

- Let's get something clear.

I'm not like your parents.

I'm not gonna put up with
your whiny, manipulative crap.

The fact that you
can be shamed,

that you can cry,
that's a good thing.

That means you're not
a hopeless psychopath.

And hopefully, you'll think
about what we talked about

so we can really get
down to business

in our next session.

Let's go! Your time is up.

What are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here.

You should still be
at Beech Mountain Academy.

- Stop being such
a whiny, manipulative bitch.

- What do you--
[groans]

- Molly Kendall,
child psychologist

from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

Whipped and tortured
in a wooded area

near her home
before being shot once

in the back of the head.

- That sounds familiar.

Her naked body was found
dumped in West Virginia,

not far from Judge Weaver's.

She had a handwritten sign
reading "Soul Crusher"

around her neck.

- What's the nexus
between her and Judge Weaver?

- Therapeutic boarding school
in rural West Virginia

called Beech Mountain Academy.

- So Weaver sent
a bunch of kids

to do time there.
- He did.

- Did Kendall work there?
- Yeah.

She ran group therapy sessions
there for nearly five years.

Relocated to Pittsburg
three months ago.

- Now, Beech Mountain
bills itself as

a tough love, last stop
for troubled adolescents.

- Tough love, we know
where that can lead.

- Why don't you guys
head to the school?

See if they know who had it out
for Molly Kendall.

[suspenseful music]

- Look, I really can't discuss
any of the students.

We're talking about minors
and their privacy issues.

- So you're saying
he was here.

- I'm not saying that.

- We need your help,
Mr. Saunders.

This young man is a fugitive,

and he's committed two murders.

- Sorry.

If you want
to continue this conversation,

you're gonna have to go through
the Academy's attorneys.

- You see that kid
with the sign around his neck?

- Our guy definitely
did time here.

- Yeah, and somebody here
knows his name.

- Saunders is full of it.

He doesn't give two hoots
about those kids

or their privacy.

He's wetting himself
'cause he lost one of them.

- Lost, what do you mean?
AWOL?

- Mm-hmm.
- Is that him?

Luke Hadley.

Broke out about a week ago.

- How'd he do it?

This place is in
the middle of nowhere.

They even lock the kids
in at night.

I figure he had help
from someone on the outside.

See, right before
he made it out,

I caught him with a phone.

That's contraband.

- You'd think Saunders
would have kept

a closer eye on him after that.

- He would have,
if he'd known about it.

[chuckles]

- You didn't turn him in?

I know some of these kids
need discipline,

and if Luke really killed
two people,

maybe I should have, but--
Saunders.

He goes too far in my book.

Treat them like animals,

you can't be surprised
when they act like animals.

- What do you mean?

The things he does to them.

Doesn't feed them
for a couple of days,

and then makes them fight
each other for table scraps.

Solitary confinement
for a month at a time.

Tying them up
until they soil themselves.

Goes too far.
I couldn't turn the kid in.

- You still have that phone?

- Yeah.

Luke was in contact
with this young woman

named Sarah Hayes.

Tons of texts.

Looks like they were
in a relationship.

She was at Beech Mountain
Academy for three years

after an assault conviction
for a girl fight at school.

She was released
three months ago.

- Is she the one
that helped Luke escape?

No, she committed suicide
about a month ago.

triggered him.

- Yeah, looks like it.

He was really in love with her,

and she was sentenced
by Judge Weaver.

And treated at Beech Mountain
Academy by Molly Kendall, so.

- Well, that explains the why.

Now we need to figure out
who helped him get out.

- Well, I think I can answer
that one too.

So Sarah wasn't the only person
that Luke was in contact with.

He found this online group
of Beech Academy grads.

They call themselves survivors.

And he registered himself
as an alum of the program.

Traded all these DMs
with someone

by the username of Phoenix.

I can access the public forum,
but not the private messages,

and there were nearly
200 of them

between Luke and Phoenix.

- Phoenix might have realized
Luke was a current inmate.

- And agreed to help him.

- Think you could put
a real name to the username?

- Yeah, already did.
Her name's Emily Wilton.

That's her.

She lives in Akron,
and she works

for the Public Works
Administration.

According to her supervisor,
she's there all day today.

That's the address.
- All right.

- Not bad for a newbie.

- What, are you passing
the torch?

- Got get 'em, champ.

- That online group
is the only thing

that keeps me sane.

How long were you
at Beech Mountain?

- Four years.

It was torture.

They literally tortured us.

- I know.
We heard about their methods.

- I'm sorry that happened
to you.

- Every day was
something horrible.

I need that group.

Other survivors are the only
other ones who understand.

- Emily, do you know
Luke Hadley?

- No.

- On the message boards,
his username is BadBoy.

- We know you DM'd with him.

- He'd a Beech Mountain
survivor,

just like everyone else
on the site.

- Except he wasn't a survivor,
he was still there,

being tortured and abused.

We believe that
you figured that out.

And we think that
you helped him go AWOL.

- We think you're still
helping him.

- No.

two people since he got out.

but to be honest,

I thought it was,
you know, exaggerated.

- You could always try

Part of the reason
for the move was so

my daughter could be closer

her loyalties lie

It's controversial,
it's not criminal.

Harry Toler, the janitor
who gave us Hadley's phone,

he confirmed it
with his stories.

- What are we talking about?

- She had an STD
from an assault--

a family member--

from before she even got
to Beech Mountain,

and when the administration
found out about it,

they had her wear
a sign around her neck

that said "I'm a whore.
Treat me like one."

- Other students were
encouraged to grab her breasts,

call her names, spit on her,
slap her, and worse.

- That's abuse, not discipline.

- Jeez.

Ortiz, you tell me,
but she seemed

genuinely surprised
when we told her

Luke had killed two people.

- Yeah, she didn't know.

- So no matter
where her sympathies lie,

if she's not all in
with Hadley,

then she's in danger.

- So far Hadley's been
targeting people

he blames
for his girlfriend's suicide.

- Do we know anything
about the parents?

- No pops in the picture,

but her mom's name
is Jennifer Hayes,

and she lives in Cincinnati.

- You want me and Ortiz
to search Emily's apartment?

- Yeah, that sounds good.

Let's see what she knows
about his plans.

You and I,
let's head to Cincinnati,

talk to Sarah's mom.

- Not much to search.

I wonder if that's a holdover

from the years she spent
at Beech Mountain.

- Could be.

They weren't allowed
many personal items.

And I'm all for juveniles
being held responsible

for their criminal conduct,

but reading that
survivors message board,

it was heartbreaking.

I can only imagine
what Emily went through.

The degree of substance abuse,
recidivism, and suicide

for those kids
is through the roof.

Beech Mountain does
a serious number on them.

- You think they were like that
before they got there?

Some of them, probably.

But a lot of them
were just good kids

who made stupid mistakes.

- Sent there by a judge
who might have been

getting money
from locking them up.

- And we know group therapy
at Beech Mountain

consists of one kid
being singled out

to stand in front of the group

and get screamed at
for 50 minutes.

- This sounds sadistic.

- No kidding.

I don't think
there's anything here.

- Barnes, check this out.

Letter from Luke Hadley.

- Snail mail,
that's old school.

- They're written
in sort of a cipher.

But this one mentions
"a journey starting

with the help of an angel."

And references a date
that coincides

with when he went AWOL
from Beech Mountain.

- This one's the same.

"The eye of the hurricane,
is the greatest target."

- Sounds like Hadley's endgame,

Highway 35, eastbound.
Mile marker 77.

- You go, you go.
You stay with him, all right?

- Hang on, it's okay.
We're here.

[tense music]

- Emily, listen to me.
We need your help.

Where's Luke headed?

What's the eye
of the hurricane?

- No, no, no, no.

♪ ♪

- Hadley's in the wind.

We couldn't get a bird
in the air fast enough,

and the local troopers
lost him.

- That was vicious.

Emily helped him break out
of Beech Mountain,

goes all-in with him,

and he's still willing
to sacrifice her

to get away.

- He's decompensating.

The way he was driving,
the way he murdered Emily

in full view
of law enforcement.

It's all an act of desperation.

- With his past murders,
he was a revenge killer.

- Yeah, you're right,
but something has shifted.

He's on a mission now,

and he's willing to die
to complete it.

- If it was just about
avenging Sarah,

he could have stopped
after Weaver and Kendall.

- Well, it's possible
he sees himself

as some kind of moral enforcer.

- On a mission to stop
those who hurt people

like Sarah and Emily.

- And even himself.

I mean, to Hadley, Emily's just
another one of their victims.

- Well, maybe he wants
to destroy the whole system.

But who does he think
the whole system is?

- Well, this might help.

Just got a hit
on Emily's credit card.

He's back in, uh,
West Virginia already.

Bought firearms, rope,
duct tape, and fire accelerant.

- Kendall and Weaver
were both outside the school.

- Beech Mountain,
that's the true

scene of the crimes
in his mind.

Are we saying he's heading
to the school

to burn it to the ground?

- Saunders and all the
administrators

live at the school.

- They lock the kids in.

They wouldn't be able
to get out in a fire.

- No, you cannot enter
the premises.

This is ridiculous.
Who even sent you over here?

- Far as we can tell,
it's a beautiful day

in the neighborhood.

You sure you got
this one right?

- Nope, but we need
to make sure.

- May not be a fire,
but Public Corruption

came through with the warrant
for Saunders.

- What the hell
is this all about?

- Calm down, Mr. Saunders.

We know Luke Hadley
went AWOL over a week ago.

We need to see his room.

- Well, you can't just--
- Yes, we can.

- Also, you're under arrest.

For bribery of a state judge.

- I want my lawyer.

- Get him out of here.

Thank you.

Can't remember
the last time I issued

a non-fugitive arrest warrant.

- Felt good, didn't it?
- Actually, it did.

- Letters from Sarah to Luke
after she got out.

She wrote to him
almost every day

right up until
she killed herself.

- Young love,
you remember that?

Must have broken
that kid's heart.

- Letters are sweet.

She was still just a kid.

Look, she dots her i's
with hearts.

She was 14 when
she was sent here,

17 when she got out.

- That's a big chunk
of her childhood.

- And who knows,
if the judge wasn't getting

kickbacks from Saunders,
maybe she would have

just gotten away
with probation.

She got in one fight
with a girl at school,

and that wrecked
the rest of her life.

- It should wreck the rest
of Saunders' life too.

Hey, Barnes. Check this out.

The eye of the hurricane.

- Who's Luke standing with?

- Let's go ask him.

Come on.

- Who's that in the photo
with Luke Hadley?

- Not without my lawyer.

- I'm asking you to help
with an ongoing investigation.

- We have reason to believe
he's in imminent danger.

- What's in it for me?
- Let me put it like this.

You don't help us now?

I will make sure
your sentencing judge

hears about it.

- It's Eddie Groff.
Old money guy, owns the school.

Built it. Designed the program.

- Where's he at now?
- I don't know.

He only comes to the school
a few times a year.

- Where does he live?

- Not far from here.

He owns the old
Silverwood Plantation.

It's south of here,
just off Route 62.

- You got him?

- Hey, hey!

- Jess and Kristin
are headed back that way.

I'm gonna let them know.

- [sobbing]

I'll give you
anything you want.

Please! Please.

I'll give you--I'll give you--

- Shut up!

I have what I want.

I made something
extra special for you.

[tense music]

Took a while to get it right.

[brand sizzles]

Emily helped. Remember her?

We made this together.

Just for you.

It's ready now.

- No, please don't--
don't do this.

Please don't do this.

- Hold still now.

- Please, no! No!

No, no, no, no. No, no!
No, don't!

[flesh sizzles]

[screaming]

- The house is clear.

- He's been here.
That's the car he stole.

- Something's going on
down there.

You guys see that smoke?

- Yeah, could be a fire.

- If Hadley's sticking
to his MO,

he's torturing him first.

[tense music]

- You built the school.

You taught them
how to torture us.

It was you!
You started everything.

She loved me,

She didn't deserve

Get your hands in the air.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Sarah wouldn't want this.

You don't know.

I know she was a good person.

And I know she loved you.

at Beech Mountain was wrong.

It wasn't fair.
It shouldn't have happened.

She didn't deserve it,

Put the gun down.

- Pending an ongoing
investigation,

the Beech Mountain Academy
was abruptly shut down

earlier this evening,
when it's head of school,

Keith Saunders, was arrested.

We'll continue to update you
on air...

- Thank you.

- You did good.
Getting that place shut down.

- Hey, thanks for getting
our stuff out of the Airbnb.

- It's no problem.

Ingrid can stay here.
I'll take the couch.

- No, it's not a good idea.

- Up to you
[clears throat]

At least stay the night.
It's late and you're tired.

Listen, I hear you've been
having a hard time

finding a place.

- Oh, yeah?

Who told you that? Ingrid?

Ingrid thinks you're signing
a lease this week.

- [sighs]
So who?

- Journalists never reveal
their sources.

There's something I want
you to see.

- What, now?
- Mm-hmm.

- Where are we going?
- Up.

Guy who used to rent here
is a lawyer.

He moved out to his house
in the Berkshires

during the pandemic.

Now his firm isn't making
people go back to the office,

and he doesn't want
to come back to the city.

[sentimental music]

It's two bedrooms,
reasonable rent.

No broker fee.

I already talked to the super.

It won't be listed
until noon tomorrow.

It's yours if you want it.

- But it's in your building.

- That's a good thing.
- Is it, though?

- You're always going
to be leaving on no notice.

What could be easier for Ingrid
then just taking the elevator

four floors down
to Dad's place?

- Yeah, but it's
in your building.

I mean, it's one thing

for us to be living
in the same city, but--

last time we lived
this close to each other,

we got divorced.

So?

Now that we've got
that out of the way,

what could possibly go wrong?
