Post by bunniefuu »

Louise: We start with breaking news.

Previously on "Notorious"...

My client, Oscar Keaton, was arrested for his wife's m*rder without a shred of evidence.

"LHL" welcomes Los Angeles District Attorney Max Gilford.

Oscar Keaton is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

That man's a natural. Not to mention he's hot.

Can I buy you a drink?

I was in love with Sarah.

And the night before she was m*rder*d, we slept together.

I want to see my damn lawyer!

You were sleeping with my wife.

You're fired.

Well, I guess we got our answer.

Oscar didn't know about the affair.

Now get me everything you can on Jake Gregorian.

♪ And way down we go, go, go, go, go ♪
♪ Way down we go, go, go ♪
♪ Way down we go-o-o ♪
♪ Oh, 'cause they will run you down ♪
♪ Down till the dark ♪
♪ Yeah, and they will run you down ♪
♪ Down till you fall ♪

[Cell door clanks]

♪ And way down we go, go, go, go ♪
♪ Yeah, 'cause they will run you down ♪
♪ Down till you... ♪

Ms. George.

♪ Oh, way down ♪

I'm glad you came.

Of course.

But I was surprised to get your call.

Please.

You and Jake Gregorian... you're, uh, close, right?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

I fired him.

Really?

Turns out he slept with my wife the night before she was k*lled.

Oscar, what am I doing here?

I want the world to know the truth about Jake.

I want to tell my story.

[Bell rings]

Man: And we're back in three, two...

Welcome back. For our final segment tonight, we go live to the L.A. County Jail to speak with accused m*rder*r Oscar Keaton.

Oscar, you have a bombshell to drop.

Let's get right to it.

My attorney, Jake Gregorian, has betrayed me in the most atrocious way.

The man had sex with my wife the night before she was m*rder*d.

That's quite an allegation.

While in jail, I received a photo of the two of them in bed together. I confronted Jake.

Cue the photo.

He came clean.

"LHL" has obtained a copy of that photo.

I thought this man was my greatest ally. Turns out he was just acting in his own vicious self-interest... which is why I fired Jake Gregorian. I don't trust the man. Neither should the district attorney, neither should the public.

Can you elaborate?

Maybe Sarah was planning on telling me the truth. Maybe Jake k*lled Sarah to keep their affair a secret.

Hold on. You're accusing Jake Gregorian of m*rder?

I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me.


[Beep] Ask the question, Louise.

Oscar, wouldn't your wife's infidelity speak to your motive?

I mean, if you knew about the affair, I can only imagine the anger, your sense of betrayal.

Like I said, I didn't know about the affair.

Yes. Well, we'll have to take your word on that.

And our time is up.

From all of us at "Louise Herrick Live," good night.

Man: And we're clear.

[Bell rings]

Nice job, Louise.

[Cellphone vibrates, beeps]

Hey, Jake.

Louise's timing on that last question was perfect.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the heads-up on the interview.

Louise knocked Oscar's smug ass back in the dirt.

Now it's my job to dust him off.

Wait, you're gonna keep working with him?

Of course I am.

He just fired you on national television and accused you of m*rder. It's not a bad Yelp review.

He att*cked me in the media.

Once he hires me back, all will be forgotten.

Seriously, though, Jules... thanks. I owe you one.

Eternally.

Hey, boss. Quite a show, huh?

Yeah, a solid segment.

But have you been following the competition?

I hope you're not talking about Callie Connors.

Oh, yeah. Last night, she got her highest ratings of the year.

She's got a follow-up story on now.

Darin, we shouldn't be taking our cues from her.

I'm not saying to...

Because her show is a circus of tacky, pandering histrionics... and she still loses to us every night.

What I am saying is that if this is the next Natalee Holloway or Elizabeth Smart, we're already behind.

[Beep] 42 hours since Emily Parker, a gorgeous honor-roll student and cheer captain, was reported missing from her Pasadena home.

And here it comes.

It's Crying Callie tonight.

Friends [Sniffles] it is just heart-breaking to think that some dark force...

Dark force... Vaguely r*cist Callie joins the party.

Emily's parents have yet to make a public statement, but I can only imagine their sense of loss and dread.

We need those parents.

Every moment wondering where their daughter is.

Julia, please.

You can just feel their grief, can't you?

Fine.

Jake's firm represents the parents, and he owes me a favor.

Expose a guy's affair with a dead woman and he owes you?

Twisted, but I'll take it.

[Cellphone beeps]

[Phone rings]

Yeah.

Jake, I want Emily Parker's parents.

What took you so long?

I want them to sit down with Louise tomorrow for the whole hour if they're up for it.

I'll make it happen.

[Cellphone beeps]

The front door was wide open.

A lamp in the entry was knocked over.

We called the police.

And the police came in minutes, but it felt like hours.

Emily was just getting further and further away.

[Sobs] Mm.

Jake: Laurie, Ted, that was great.

But in the 24-hour news cycle, you get exactly one sh*t to make these viewers care.

All right? The ring twists, Ted... it could read as an unstable marriage.

Lack of eye contact hints at a secret.

And if the viewers get caught up in those distractions, they're not thinking about what matters, which is your missing daughter.

JonBenét Ramsey's parents had one bad interview on CNN, never crawled out from under it.

Hey.

You guys are gonna be great.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

Look, Jake, we got to ask.

After Oscar Keaton said that stuff about you on the news, are... are you sure you can help us right now?

Ted, I made a stupid, stupid mistake.

But this firm is fully focused on helping you find Emily.

The media rollout is catching fire.

That means more police on the case, more pressure on those police until Emily comes home.

Okay?

Okay.

Why don't we call it a day.

We'll meet tomorrow, we'll prep one more time...

[Exhales sharply]

... and then we'll head over to "Louise Herrick Live."

Uh, actually, we need to talk to you about the interview.

On the way over, we received an offer to do an exclusive on Callie Connors' show.

They offered us $100,000.

"Louise Herrick Live" never pays for interviews, but I can assure you it is the better option.

We need the money to fund the search.

We've already spent that much on private investigators, scent dogs, a search helicopter.

Callie Connors... she's unpredictable.

I have an existing relationship with Julia George and "LHL."

I know it's not ideal, but we're going with Callie.

Julia: Jake, you promised me their interview.

Not to mention Callie Connors is an unstable mess and her show is a huge gamble.

I mean, depending on her mood, she could rip the parents apart.

True, Julia, but it's not like your show is all sunshine and softballs.

I'm sorry, Julia.

Really.

Hey, Julia, listen, I think we should match Callie's offer to the parents.

We don't do that.

I don't mean paying for an interview.

Rather, a donation to the Find Emily Parker fund.

Darin, no.

Research just gave me the heads up...

Callie b*at us last night.

First time in seven months.

If she owns this Emily Parker story, we're gonna keep on losing.

Oscar: What the hell are you doing here?

I want you to rehire me as your attorney.

[Chuckles] You're insane.

You accused me of k*lling Sarah.

Now, you can either double down, Oscar, which will backfire as pundits speculate on whether or not you knew about your wife's affair, or I can go on TV and issue a mea culpa stating that I did, in fact, regretfully, sleep with your wife and then state with absolute certainty that you had no knowledge whatsoever about Sarah's infidelity.

Your ego...

[Sighs]

... just can't handle the fact that I fired you.

It's a conflict waiver.

It states that you are rehiring me with absolute faith in the efficacy of my representation.

You doing this for me or for you?

Does it matter?

Either shank me with this pen or sign the damn document.

I'm your best sh*t out of here, and we both know it.

[Taps on door]

[Buzzer, door beeps]

[Handcuffs click]

[Keyboard clacking]

Hey. [Knocks on wall]

I've been digging deep on Emily Parker.

She's got an aunt and uncle in Denver, but they're not returning calls.

I reached a couple of her classmates, but no one's gonna stack up against her parents.

I hate that we are chasing Callie Connors.

I hate that two shows are fighting over one missing girl when 600 girls go missing every year in L.A.

600?

Yeah.

When I was researching Emily, I went into the database.

Of course, those 600 aren't all blonde, blue-eyed, and upper-middle-class like Emily.

"Princess stolen from her castle" is the story that sells.

You know what?

Let Callie do it the easy way. She found a princess.

I say we create one.

What are you talking about?

I want to go with one of the other 599, and we are gonna make her just as big and just as important as Emily.

We are gonna make the whole country care about a girl they never even knew existed.

Natalee Holloway. Elizabeth Smart. Emily Parker. You know their names and their stories. You've held your breath along with their parents, hoping that they would be found.

But tonight you'll be seeing the faces of other young women who have gone missing, whose names are tragically unfamiliar.

These are young women whose disappearances have devastated their families and friends, yet garnered little to no media attention, which all too often goes hand-in-hand with a lack of police attention.

And you'll hear the story of one of these overlooked young women.

Silvia Baez's daughter, Rosa, is 17 years old.

She lives just six miles from Emily Parker, and went missing the exact same night.

Silvia, what happened to Rosa?

My daughter works at a burger drive-through.

She walks home every night at 9:00.

Three nights ago, she didn't come home.

I understand you're disappointed in the police response?

Yes. [Voice breaking] I called them, and it took them two hours to come to my house.

And they refused to ping Rosa's phone to locate her.

I'm sorry. Why would they refuse?

They say it would cost the city $150, and their budget wouldn't allow it.

"Be patient," they say.

"She'll show up."

Well, she hasn't.

And now it's too late for the phone.

Her battery is dead.

[Crying] I miss her so much.

If you could say something to Rosa, what would you want her to hear?

Rosa, mija,

I'm praying for you, and I will do anything to bring you back home.

If any of our viewers know anything about Rosa, there's an 800 number on our website. Please call. Before we go tonight, a humble admission and a plea.

We realize that tonight's story was a departure, that our network has been guilty of choosing certain victims over others.

We will make every attempt to remedy that.

But I'd also like to call on Callie Connors and other outlets to make the same efforts and make sure every victim gets an equal chance.

Good night.

[Bell rings]

Man: And clear.

I was digging through Emily Parker's online history, looking for anything that may aid in the investigation.

Mm-hmm.

Emily Parker's username on a cheerleading forum is "BabyDoll99."

When I did a global search of that name, look what I found.

Cam Girl Paradise.

Girls who use their personal webcams to strip for paying strangers.

Take a look at this.

BabyDoll99 is Emily Parker.

Tell me what you want to see... what you want me to do. I'm up for anything. Just ask.

Jake, she's only 16.

You need to tell her parents, and then the police.

Friends, I have come back on air tonight to address something that simply cannot wait until tomorrow's show.

I need to respond to a cheap sh*t thrown at me by the desperate folks over at "Louise Herrick Live." Earlier tonight, they accused me of neglecting the case of missing girl Rosa Baez. Just so we're clear, I've been so laser-focused on Emily Parker's story 'cause nobody has any idea...

[Scoffs] Geez.

... what happened to Emily. There is tragically little mystery in what happened to Rosa Baez.

What is she talking about?

This is the thug responsible for Rosa Baez's disappearance... her boyfriend, Braydon Lucas, a felon, grand theft auto. Rosa had the misfortune of dating this piece of work. Police are investigating him for Rosa's disappearance, and it's only a matter of time until the truth comes out.

She's wrong. [Scoffs]

I mean, yeah, the boyfriend came up in my research as a person of interest... he's even in my file. But... the police quickly questioned and released him.

So she's condemning him based on his mugshot?

That's how she works. Her audience laps it up.

... to make a petty, hateful att*ck on our show. Instead...

She accuses us of taking a cheap sh*t?

We're gonna show her how this job is really done.

We're gonna find out what happened to Rosa Baez.

Where do we start?

I want to talk to this boyfriend.

[Dogs barking, helicopter blades whir, fence rattles]

[Beeping]

[Dial tone]

Man: Yes?

Uh, I... I'm looking for Braydon Lucas.

I was told he might be staying here.

Who the hell are you?

[Dogs barking in distance]

I'm a news producer.

I'm doing a story on Rosa Baez.

News producer?

From that show that lit me up on TV?

Called me some felon?

Called me a thug? You think I didn't see that?

That's a different show.

They're all the same show.

You think you can call me out like that and then stroll up here just to chat?

You think that's how this is gonna go down?!

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I can leave.

Forget about Rosa.

[Dog barking]

[Gate creaks]

[Car alarm chirps]

[Car alarm chirps]

[Line ringing]

Megan. [Sighs]

For once in her life, Callie Connors might be right about something.

I met the boyfriend, and he is not warm and fuzzy, that's for sure.

What happened? Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I want Ryan to follow this guy for a day or two.

Okay.

From a safe distance, have him follow Braydon.

If he did something to Rosa, maybe he could lead us to her.

No problem. I'll talk to him now.

[Barking continues]

Samantha is our daughter's best friend.

We asked her if she knew anything about this... this cam-girl site.

Turns out she knew all about it and didn't say anything!

I'm sorry. I thought...

You're not in trouble, Samantha.

Just tell Jake what you told us about Emily.

Please.

Emily said that it was just a way to make some extra money.

She'd been doing it for maybe a month, and since you never had to touch the guys, it seemed safe and easy.

In her own bedroom.

[Crying] In our house.

How could we not know?

Someone who watched her videos may have tracked her down.

We informed the police.

Can they get a list of names?

The site uses TOR networks and viewers pay with Bitcoin, so it's impossible to identify them.

Did Emily ever mention any particular men who contacted her through the site?

No, not to me.

Have you told anyone else?

Who?

[Sighs] Samantha, please.

Um, the lady from the news... the one that's covering the story.

Callie Connors?

Yeah.

[Sighs]

The producer from that show came to the café where I work.

He said he was trying to find her and if I knew anything that would help, I should tell him.

Oh, God.

No, I asked if it could be confidential, and he said yes!

[Voice breaking] I knew you'd be upset, but I just wanted to help her.

[Sniffles] Callie can't air this.

If someone from that website has Emily, this... this story could freak him out.

He could do something to...

I will go talk to Callie.

I think I can persuade her not to run the story.

[Knock on door]

Sorry for the interruption. The D.A.'s here.

He's waiting in the conference room.

I'll be in touch.

[Door closes]

[Door opens]

[Chuckles]

Do you ever call before you show up, or is the element of surprise your thing?

I heard Oscar Keaton hired you back.

Now [chuckles] I've known defendants who would drop a lawyer 'cause they didn't like their cologne, so to keep one who seduced his wife...

Oscar must really believe in you.

What are you doing here?

Sarah's final autopsy report came in.

And you just rushed over to share it with the defense?

The report only tells part of the story.

It says that Sarah Keaton had parturition scars consistent with having given birth at some point in her life. So I'm here to ask you and your client, where the hell is Sarah's child?

We talked about having children, you know, someday, but, no, nothing about a pregnancy.

She wasn't just pregnant. She gave birth.

She never said anything to you?

No, but I have an investigator digging through hospital records.

You want to find this kid?

Don't you?

Kid has nothing to do with me.

That child is a part of Sarah.

So was the fake passport, having an affair with you. Now this?

Every day that goes by, I feel like I know that woman less.

Alan. Jake Gregorian.

I have nothing to say to you.

I saw the news.

Listen, Oscar's rehired me.

There's a question about your sister no one's been able to answer.

What is it?

Come down to my office to talk.

Tonight. Thanks.

Sure, I was working with Rosa the night she went missing.

Real sweet girl, never missed a day of work.

And you said she clocked out at 9:00?

Yeah, that's the last I saw her.

You said you were... ?

A friend of her family.

Oh.

Did anything strange happen the night of her shift?

Uh, nope. Nothing strange happens around here.

Although a garter snake once swam out the toilet.

What about her boyfriend... Braydon Lucas?

Was he here that night?

[Sighs] I wouldn't have a clue.

I noticed that you have, uh, a video camera.

Think I could see the footage?

That needs to be approved by corporate, and corporate has his lazy ass on a cruise, so I'm sorry.

But you can come back next week.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Okay, I'll do that.

Sorry I couldn't help.

It's okay.

[Speaking Spanish]

Bueno.

[Speaking Spanish]
I owe my viewers the whole truth.

I never hide anything.

It's a sacred responsibility.

That's interesting. I think you owe it to Emily to forget the cam-girl stuff.

Here you go.

You know revealing that part of the story is gonna turn public sympathy against her.

People are gonna stop volunteering for the search parties, the tip lines are gonna go quiet, and Emily's chances of being brought home alive are gonna plummet.

You are not gonna pin that on me.

The most likely abductor is somebody who discovered Emily on the cam-girl site.

Now, if you reveal that the police are pursuing from that angle, the abductor might panic, maybe even k*ll her.

Okay, that is one barge load of speculation.

[Sighs] So you're willing to risk a girl's life just to bump your ratings?

Okay, okay.

If I drop the cam-girl story, what have you got for me?

You get me.

Oh.

An exclusive announcement on the Oscar Keaton case.

Does Julia George know you're offering yourself to other newswomen?

Do we have a deal?

Exclusive on the Oscar Keaton case?

Oscar has actually hired me back, Callie, and I'd be telling your viewers why.

I need to think about it. I'll get back to you.

So, what exactly are we looking for?

Anything suspicious that happened during Rosa's last shift.

[Keyboard clacks]

It's cued up to the right night.

Here you go.

Speed it up.

... you.

[Fast-forwarding]

Have you heard anything from Ryan?

He's been following the boyfriend but hasn't seen anything incriminating so far.

Mm.

He did ask if we reimburse for gas.

What did you say?

I said it depends on your mood.

[Both chuckle]

Good answer.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop right there.

Back it up. Mm-hmm.

[Keyboard clacking]

Yeah, I need a Coke and some criss-cut fries.

We're not serving those tonight.

Don't toy with me, kid!

I want some criss-cut fries
now.

Sir, we're not serving them tonight. Have a nice night.

Does it... does it look like I'm playin'?!

You want me to pull you out of that window? I will!

Go now, or I'm calling the police.

Shut up!
[Grunts]

That is a lot of rage over fries.

Yeah, and this happened an hour before her shift ended.

Can you back it up again?

[Rewinding]

Freeze it right there.

[Keyboard clacks]

Julia, what exactly are you asking me to do?

Rosa Baez went missing shortly after an altercation with this guy.

And I was hoping you could run that partial plate.

This is cop work. You know I'm the D.A., right?

LAPD said running a partial could take weeks.

I was hoping you could expedite it for me.

Do you know this girl?

No.

Her mother filed a report, but the police haven't lifted a finger.

I just need a name.

I can do better than that.

Track him down and we'll bring him in.

Thank you.

Uh, for the record, I don't mind being used by you as long as it's mutual.

Well, the next time you need something in front of 10 million viewers, you know where to find me.

Good to know.

And the next time I need an audience of one for some decent Italian food?

How's Friday night?

Perfect.

Welcome back to the show.

And now a disturbing and exclusive twist in the Emily Parker case.

This is the Emily Parker we have all fallen in love with.

But I've discovered there's another side to this girl.

As it turns out, our Emily... our perfect Emily, from the perfect family... well, she'd been moonlighting as a cam-girl stripper.

Tell me what you want to see... what you want me to do.

I'm up for anything.

Just ask.


Callie: It's hard to watch, isn't it?

Are you gonna call the parents?

Brad, they're watching. What could I possibly say?

Imagine, friends, this child exposing her private parts to strangers from her own bedroom, and her parents had no idea.

Have a nice night.

Does it... does it look like I'm playin'?!

You want me to pull you out of that window! I will!

Go now, or I'm calling the police!


[Thud] Shut up!

[Sighs] Not a good look for me, is it?

Why don't you tell me about that night, Gavin?

I was hungry... like, starving, really, and when I get starving, I get, like passionate, which is, like, a blood-sugar thing for me, and I'm pretty sure I missed lunch that day, so...

This girl you threatened...

Rosa Baez.

Yeah?

What'd you do to her after this altercation?


What do you mean?

Rosa Baez went missing shortly after you threatened her.

What did you do to her?

No, no, no, no! God, no! I... I didn't touch her!

I figured you brought me in here about the dr*gs, which, I mean, she didn't even sell me.

The dr*gs?

Yeah, you know, the... the criss-cut fries.

Which is what... code?

Yeah, for oxy.

That burger joint serves you whatever you're fiending for.

They got this whole, like, psychoactive secret menu.

Do you think people are going there for their food?

Nah, man!

Like, a stack of bibles, I swear I did not hurt that girl.

You know, after she oxy-blocked me, I went across town, got creative at a pharmacy.

Check their cameras. You'll see me.

I swear.

We'll do that.

Sounds like an alibi.

Yeah, you can't make up a story like that.

And if that's the kind of place Rosa was working, anything could have happened to her.

Look, Alan, I have to ask you a tough question about your sister.

Sarah's autopsy report says... that she had a child.

Do you know anything about that?

I haven't thought about that in a long time.

Our parents were devout, and Sarah was 17 years old when she told them the news.

I don't think she or that idiot boy from the choir had even heard of birth control.

What happened to the child?

Our parents sent Sarah to live with our aunt in New Mexico until she delivered.

Baby was a little girl.

She was sick, lived for three days.

No funeral.

Sarah came home, looked like a ghost until she finished high school.

You know, Alan, she never told me any of this.

We never spoke about it.

She was ashamed.

And the family acted like it never happened.

A development tonight in the search for missing Los Angeles girl Rosa Baez.

The fast-food restaurant where Rosa was employed has been raided by the LAPD and exposed as a drug-trafficking outpost.

Exclusive video shows the police operation.

Restaurant manager Miguel Ortiz is alleged to be the mastermind of the criminal enterprise.

He's been charged with multiple counts of possession and sale of a controlled substance, and has been released after posting a substantial bail.

Unfortunately, no new information regarding Rosa Baez's disappearance has come to light.

Look to "LHL" or LHL Online for further developments.

And cut.

What's going on?

I followed the boyfriend all over town, and one thing's for sure: He needs money.

It's like a non-stop scramble for quick cash... selling scrap metal, pawning stuff, trying his luck at payday-loan shops.

A guilty man trying to raise money to skip town.

I don't think so. I... I got a look inside his apartment.

He hasn't packed any bags.

Doesn't look like he's taking off anytime soon.

Trying to raise a bunch of cash when your girlfriend is missing?

There's another possibility.

[Dogs barking]

[Keypad beeping]

Braydon.

I need to talk to you.

[Car alarm chirps]

Damn it, lady. Go away!

I'm not going anywhere.

Listen, I know you need money. Is it ransom?

Are you trying to save Rosa?

Is that why you need the cash?

Leave me alone.

Listen to me.

I don't work for Callie Connors.

I never said you were guilty.

I'm trying to help Rosa.

And I think you are, too.

No.

Let me help.

[Siren wails in distance]

S...

I think we're too late.

Rosa never wanted to be working in that restaurant, selling dr*gs to addicts, but her mom set her up with the job, and then she couldn't get out of it.

Silvia knew what was going on in that place?

Silvia...

Silvia goes back in the day with that creep-ass manager Miguel.

She offered Rosa up to him.

What... does that mean?

She promised him she would never snitch on him.

And Silvia got paid for Rosa's work, and Rosa didn't make a dime.

Why didn't Rosa just quit?

If she'd tried to walk away, he'd have k*lled her.

So Rosa and I came up with a plan to escape.

Every night for the last month, Rosa skimmed from the register.

Almost two grand.

[Sighs]

But it's what she was owed.

We put it down on a place in another city.

You think Miguel found out and did something to her?

After she went missing, Miguel shows up to my apartment.

Says he knows Rosa's been stealing from him.

Says if I ever want to see her again, I have to pay him 10 grand by tomorrow night.

I have sold... everything I own.

And I'm still $5,000 short.

That girl saved my life when I met her.

She got me off the game.

She made me go back to school.

And I can't save her?

We need to tell the police.

[Scoffs] No.

Miguel says, if I go to the cops, he'll k*ll her.

You need to trust me.

Okay?

Laurie: The fallout from the cam-girl story has been even worse than we thought.

People online are saying Emily deserved... whatever happened to her.

We had hundreds of strangers searching for her.

Now our closest friends are slow to pick up our calls.

I am so sorry I couldn't stop the story.

If I had it my way, I'd cut out Callie's tongue for what she did, but time isn't on our side.

I'd say start another phone tree, pass out more flyers, make another Internet appeal... whatever it takes to bring her home.

Just keep moving.

Okay.

Keep us posted.

Jake, more mail that's been forwarded from the Keaton house.

Thank you.

Something else?

You didn't do anything wrong.

I heard you apologizing to Emily's parents.

You did everything you could.

I got to say, you put on one hell of an act. [Door closes]

What are you talking about?

Did you really think you could go on national television and no one would dig into your story?

I know about you and Miguel Ortiz.

Your daughter worked?

She made the money so you wouldn't have to?

Do you know where she is?

I swear, I don't know what happened to her.

I don't know who took her.

I do.

Miguel Ortiz has her.

No.

I... it's not him.

He's known her since she was a kid.

Right.

He wouldn't hurt her. He would just use her to sell dr*gs out of his disgusting drive-through.

She messed with his money, Silvia.

People do crazy things for money, like let their kid work for some scumbag drug dealer and then pretend like they miss them when what they really miss is the money they were bringing in.

That's why you want her back, isn't it?

No.

I want her back because I love her.

[Scoffs]

And, yes, I've mad mistakes. Okay?

[Voice breaking] But I want to make it all up to her.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

'Cause I know exactly what you can do.

And if you refuse, you can explain yourself to the cops.

[Tap on door]

Can I help you?

Yeah, I got this, uh, letter about a new passcode.

Uh, unless you're Mrs. Sarah Keaton, I can't give you a unit number or a code.

Uh, my name is Jake Gregorian.

Um, I'm representing Mrs. Keaton's estate.

Well, Mr. Gregorian, you didn't mention you were co-registered on the unit.

Got some I.D.?

Yes, I do.

[Echoing] Remember Spain?

We took that train from Salamanca to Barcelona?

Mm-hmm.

You held my hand.

I never trusted anyone like that.

[Cellphone rings]

[Cellphone beeps]

It's Jake.

Hi, Jake, it's Megan.

Just confirming you'll be on the show tonight.

We're an hour out.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Thanks.

We have the warrant. We're going in.

Gregorian just left the facility.

Let's do it.

[Clattering]

Cops tore this place apart!

I'm facing 5 to 10 on that narco rap, and bail bled me dry.

Your kid's got a lot to answer for.

Do you have any idea where she is?

Yeah.

She ran off. That's where she is!

Please, Miguel. I just want to know she's okay.

Silvia, your kid is a thief and her boyfriend is a punk, but I didn't take her.

And we're done talking about your little bitch.

This is
her fault, bringing[/i] attention to my operation.

You give the mom any pointers?

How you get an interview to cr*ck?

Silvia: [Sobs] I'm begging you.

I told her tears are always good.

Let me just see her.

Let me speak to her, just for a minute.

Plays a concerned mother pretty damn well.

Maybe there's a scrap of truth in it.

I can't sleep!

I can hardly breathe!

Look, she is fine, okay?

My cousin Tomás is taking good care of her, which is better than she deserves.

His cousin.

She needs a little more time to learn her lesson.

[Line ringing]

Yeah, it's Gilford. We may have a lead.

[Elevator dings]

How'd it go? Is she okay?

Rosa's fine. She and Braydon have left town.

I thought you'd want them for the show, when we tell the world how you you kicked ass and saved her.

We don't do that.

I'm not the story.

You made the world care about Rosa.

You can't just leave our viewers in the dark.

When she's safe and settled...

[Elevator dings]

... we'll do an update.

Okay.

Afternoon, ladies.

Thank God you're here.

We're 10 minutes till air, Jake.

Oh.

I guess that means I'm 8 1/2 minutes early.

You're all dusty.

You okay?

Never better.

I can't wait to tell your viewers all about my affair with Sarah. It's gonna be... great. Come on, let's go.

Good evening. I'm joined tonight by attorney Jake Gregorian, who until recently represented Oscar Keaton, awaiting trial for the m*rder of his wife, Sarah.

Jake, I understand you'd like to make an announcement?

Yes, uh, I'm actually pleased to share the news that Oscar Keaton has rehired me as his attorney.

And how in the world did you persuade him to do that?

Because, last we heard from Oscar, he was accusing you of sleeping with his wife.

Yes. Uh, it was one night... a moment of regrettable weakness for both of us... which has absolutely no bearing on this case.

Oscar and I are focused on moving forward, finding the real k*ller.

That's the only thing that matters. With that single purpose in mind...


What are you doing here?

Good to see you, Julia. I'm, uh...

I'm here for work.

... way of securing justice for my client.

Oscar Keaton is an innocent man.

[Doors open, close]

Cover that other exit.

And I'm just happy to be returning to the job of proving that to the world.

I'm sorry, viewers, I don't mean to interrupt this interview, but it appears there are several policemen on my set.

Put the "A" camera on the cops.

Excuse me, Officers, you realize we're live on the air?

Sorry, ma'am. I'm here for Jake Gregorian.

Officer, whatever it is you need, in a few minutes, I'd be happy to help you.

You have the right to remain silent.

You have the right to an attorney.

Max, what the hell is going on?

Police received an anonymous tip Jake had rented a storage unit.

He was hiding the m*rder w*apon.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

You are being charged with homicide in the death of Sarah Keaton.

Stand up and put your hands behind your back.

I'm innocent of these charges.

[Handcuffs click]

Viewers, if you're just...

This is a setup.

It has to be.

Find out where they're booking him.

Call watch command to discuss bail.

Anyone hears from Jake, I'm on my way.

Louise: Police officers are leading him off the set at this very moment.

You couldn't have given me a heads up?

I'm sorry. I couldn't.

... to a police station for questioning.


Are we staying on this? Should we cut the feed?

Uh, no. Louise, go to commercial.

Hell no, Louise. We're staying on the air. Keep talking.

Put a handheld camera on his face.

Tight on his face now.

Follow him all the way out to the parking lot.

Louise: ... to announce he'd been rehired by Oscar Keaton, despite the sexual relationship he shared with Oscar's wife, Sarah.

He was in the middle of reiterating his support for his client when police officers arrived to arrest him live on the air.

The timing of it was...


I've just gotten word that there's an update on the Emily Parker case... and this is breaking news.

As police sources have confirmed that the body of... of Emily Parker has been... found.

The discovery was made in a vacant lot in downtown Los Angeles.

This is...

I'm sorry, I'm... I'm just, um...

According to an LAPD spokesperson, a homicide victim brutally k*lled within the past few hours.

At this time, there are no leads.
