In the Dark (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 1 - Episode #4.1 - full transcript

Previously on In the Dark...

- Did you kill Nia Bailey?

I won't let you
get away with it.

- It's a button from Murphy's jacket.
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.

No!

No!

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.

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.

Stop. I'll be okay.

Come on,
Mason, let's go.

- Bye.
- Okay.

This one's yours.

Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

Here. Her parents
weren't home.

- What?

- Hey, buddy.
- I know, buddy.

- Hi.
- I know.

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.

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.
What kind of miracle?

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?
Josh.

Did you hear her?

Just be happy for two seconds.

Thank you, Jamie.

Chief.

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?

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.

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
how to get there. I'm...

I don't know where
it is, obviously.

Please.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Hey, break it up! Hey!

Guard? Guard?

Guard, hello?

What do you want? I'm busy.

I know, and I'm so
sorry, I-I just...

I-I couldn't get to your office.

My stupid cane broke in half.

- Ah.
- Yeah.

And this thing
really is my eyes.

I mean, I have no way of
getting anywhere without it.

- So...
- Well, um...

I
can put in an order

- to get a new one, but it won't...
- Oh, no.

No, I mean, my-my bail
hearing is tomorrow, so...

do you think I can
just hang in my,

hang out in my cell until then?

I don't, I honestly
don't need to eat anyway.

The-the food is... disgusting.

No, Ms. Mason.

Like I said,

inmates are required
at every meal. Yes.

And I, I know that, I
understand. I just, uh...

I literally have no
way of getting there.

- So...
- I'll tell you what.

I'll assign you someone.

How's that?

Assign me someone?

Yeah.

Like a human cane.

You know, someone to help get
you from point A to point B?

That's the best I got.

Um...

Hey... I'm Savannah.

My human cane, I know.

Um...

- I'm just gonna...
- I'm fine!

- Oh. Uh...
- I can stand up on my own.

Okay.

Um, I'm so sorry.

I'll learn, don't worry, um...

but how do I...?

I'm good... just walk,
and I'll follow you.

Okay.

Um...

Okay, then.

What happened here?

I thought sororities weren't
allowed to have parties,

only frats.

Really? That's pretty sexist.

Yep.

Ah, damn.

What's this?

What?

You ever seen this stamp before?

Nah, you?

Never.

You didn't eat your lunch.

I'm not hungry.

I can hear your stomach.

I'm fine.

Okay.

Let me at her!

Help me! What?

Help me!

It's okay. It's okay.

Get off!

Never touch my girls again.

You understand me?

Or what?

Stop, stop!
Break it up! Come on.

Go. Go, go, go, go!

What the hell just happened?

It's okay.

It's over.

It's over.

I heard...

I heard, I heard
Samantha Rogers.

Yeah.

She's going after Paula's crew.

That's enough, Sam.

Step out of line again,

and you're going in the SHU.

Let's go.

Who's Paula?

She's the one running
things in here right now.

And she and... Sam
have been going at it

ever since Sam got here.

Oh.

Why?

Well, drugs.

Power.

I guess they're one
and the same in here.

Paula's got both.

Come on, come on.

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.

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.

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?

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,

because I'm actually
with him right now.

Oh, I hate you. Lunch?

Yeah, we can be there
in about half an hour.

Duck will be just fine.

See you soon.

Okay, bye.

What the hell are you thinking?!

Felix, I'm sorry.

But you know she's
the only person

who can get us out of this.

One hour. Yes!

And then we haul
ass to the court.

We can't be late.

♪ ♪

Poor woman, working for
the literal spawn of Satan.

- I can't believe we're doing this.
- We don't have a choice.

We are in and out, okay?

Whatever you do,
don't let her drag you

into a game of
cribbage or whatever.

Oh! There they are.

My grandbabies.

Oh!

Oh.

You look so grown-up.

Well, we're 31 and 34,

so we are literally grown-ups.

No, no, no, you're
six and three,

and running naked
through my azaleas.

Mm.

And who is this
handsome young man?

This is... um...

I'm her boyfriend. Max.

Oh, stop.

Oh, mm.

Mm...

Well...

shall we to the dining room?

Yeah, Gran, um, I know Les said

we could do lunch, but actually
we're in kind of a hurry.

And we just have to
ask you one thing...

Nonsense. I'm putting
some meat on those bones.

You two look like
a pair of refugees.

- Dude, it's fine.

We'll just eat real
fast and then leave.

It's not a grab-and-go
situation, Max.

Okay, here we go.

And your fork is right here.

Okay.

Michaels, your parole
hearing got moved up.

They need you in
there in ten minutes.

Ten minutes?

Um, okay, uh...

Let them know I'm on my way.

Okay, um...

I got to run, but it looks
like you're all set up here.

Are they gonna
assign me someone new?

Well, it won't take
more than an hour.

You're good... you
know your way back.

Okay.

Not hungry?

Looks like you're gonna have
to walk back to your cell...

alone.

People always ask me
what the hardest part

about being blind is.

I never know what to say, but...

now I do.

That night at the Linsmore?

I didn't get to see
Nia's face as she died.

- What?
- I could hear everything.

You know?

I could hear her gasping

and-and-and knowing it was...

it was over, but I'm sure

there was nothing like...

like seeing her face.

Just the shock that...

that I won?

And I did, I-I...

I won.

It's just crazy how
fast it happens.

You know, like...

with death.

One minute she was there

and the next she...

Hey! Hey!

That's enough!

What'd I say?!

That's a night in the
SHU for you, Rogers.

I win again.

I'll be out tomorrow!

Aw.

I'll be out this afternoon.

♪ ♪

Hmm, well...

that was a delicious
and very filling lunch.

Compliments to the chef.

Les, I think maybe it's
time we talked to Gran

about our little, um, situation?

Actually, Gran, we are
in a bit of a situation.

See, we know this girl.

She's blind and
was in a bad way,

so I offered her a place to
stay for a couple of nights.

- Mm-hmm.
- I was just trying

to do a good deed
for someone in need.

You always taught us to
help those less fortunate.

But the problem is,

this girl ended up getting
into some trouble with the law.

Of course, I didn't know this.

But now they're trying to
drag me into it and I...

You know what?

Let's talk about all
this after lunch.

I just want to enjoy
this meal with you.

Well, actually, Gran,

- it's a bit time-sensitive...
- Max?

Tell me something
about yourself.

Oh, my God, Gran.

Lesley is asking for your help.

It's nothing that can't
wait until after lunch.

- Actually...
- Felix.

I said I was going
to enjoy this meal.

And that is what
I'm going to do.

How many times have I told Lydia

to clear the table
between courses?

You know what, it's
fine, I'll do it.

'Cause that thing we have to
be at starts very, very soon.

Felix, stop with the theatrics.

I really don't mind.

I'll get him.

You have to keep it together
or she's never gonna do

- this for us.
- If we don't leave right now,

we're gonna miss
her bail hearing.

We can't go anywhere yet.

Oh, my God!

Okay, I have a friend
who still works

in the public defender's office,

and he's desperate for
this job at my firm.

He will do literally
anything for me right now.

- Meaning...
- Meaning I'll send him

my arraignment notes, he'll
haul ass to the courthouse

and make sure Murphy's
bail stays low enough.

Just get back in there.

Remember,
under 300 grand.

Hi, Timothy.

Next!

Murphy Mason.

Chair's right here.

Felix?

Lesley?

- Hello?
- There's no one there, Miss Mason.

Do you have representation?

Yes.

I do.

They're probably
running late, I-I think.

I'm
her lawyer, Judge.

Timothy Andrews.

Nice to see you again.

Who is Timothy Andrews?

Lesley Bell sent
me. She got tied up.

You lucked out, trust me.

Where's Felix?

Who's Felix?

Are we ready, Counselor?

Uh, yeah, actually.

I just need a, uh, moment
to go over my notes.

I've already given this
case its allotted time.

Now how does your client plea?

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.

So she's not gonna
go anywhere again.

I'm setting the
bail at $2 million.

- Next.

What?

Your friend call you?

Not yet. I told you, I'll
tell you when he does.

Gran, thank you so much again.

Oh, of course.

Mm, Lydia will get your coats.

And you're all welcome any time.

That includes you, Max.

Thank you. Lunch
was delicious.

And,
listen, if you could

make that call about
our situation...

I would do anything for
family, you know that.

Consider it done.

Thank you.

But, listen, if I do this,

you will be present in my life.

I won't have you ignoring me

the way you have for
the past three years.

Understood?

- Wh... uh...
- Of course.

Well, can we talk about this...

Understood, Felix?

Understood.

Great.

I love you both to
the moon and back.

And I'll see you tomorrow
for a benefit I'm hosting.

Shall I send one car, or two?

One's fine.

I wish you
could have been there.

She was totally convinced that
she was getting out today.

It was glorious. Yeah?

Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.

I just got a call
from Lake County.

Both of the Bell siblings' cases

were transferred up
there, apparently?

Wait, what?

I guess it's in
their jurisdiction.

I'm sorry, but the day

we subpoenaed her for
her door cam footage,

the case gets transferred?

That's extremely fishy.

Cases get transferred
all the time.

Yeah, don't
sweat it, man.

We have a solid
case against Murphy.

Can you give me the names

of all the members and
pledges of the sorority?

- Thank you.
Y-You have to find this strange too, right?

Honestly, Josh...

I'm not sure what more you want.

- What?
- What, you want her in the electric chair or something?

- No, I...
- Gene is trying to stop

another Nia Bailey from
killing thousands of people

and all you care
about is getting

another piece of evidence on a
girl who we already arrested.

Just...

let it go.

Mason.

You're still here.

Yeah.

Hey, at least there's
pancakes for breakfast.

Come on.

Just one second.

Okay. This isn't the cafeteria.

Nope.

Okay, come here.

Sorry.

Just sit-sit down.

Okay?

I run Bible study here, so I am

the only one with
access to this cabinet,

and don't worry,
the guards love me.

They're gonna count
us at meals tonight.

Okay, here we go. Here.

Just... eat.

For the love of God.

Look, at this point, Murphy,

you are gonna die of starvation

or you're gonna have
to choose to trust me

and eat the stupid cracker.

It is just a
cracker. I promise.

I mean...

it's that and the
Body of Christ,

but, you know...

Come on.

: Wow.

I mean, I knew you were hungry,

but wow.

- Sorry.
- Don't be.

Just eat.

Like I said, you are gonna
need some friends in here.

Okay.

Don't these things
come with, um...

with wine?

In here? No. But...

The girls and I made this
for special occasions.

It'll do the trick.

Here.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

- It is not good.

I mean, I like cheap wine.

I-I drink... really cheap wine.

But this is so bad.

That cost us, like, a hundred
bucks for the tomatoes,

so enjoy it.

I'm trying.

- Sorry. It's so tart.

Okay, come on.

Give me that.

Ooh.

I'm impressed. Wow.

Straight to the
back of the throat, babe.

Let me try again.

- Hmm?
- Let me try again.

Okay. Here.

Let me try it with Jesus.

Oh, my God. What time is it?

Savannah?

Hey.

Savannah?
