Previously on
Proven Innocent...

Madeline Scott,
you are under arrest

for the murder
of Rosemary Lynch.

If you can connect this lantern
to Madeline Scott,

you'll win by a landslide.



VIOLET:
Ravi was possibly a murderer.

After Rosemary's death,
all evidence vanishes.

Only supporting the theory
that he's dead.

Sarah, I know
this is a lot to ask.

-We're hoping you'll testify
to all of this.
-Glad I can finally help.

-Linda, I need you to testify.
-I'll testify.

NIKKI:
You shouldn't have let my
sister get anywhere near him.

I think I deserve to see my son.

-He's got nothing.
-I've got everything.

I've got Levi.

(sighs)

(water running)

BELLOWS:
We are now 100% sure we have

the weapon Madeline Scott used



to murder Rosemary Lynch.

-(grunting)
-Justice...

will finally be served.

(panting)

VIOLET:
What do you fear most?

For those wrongfully accused,

their biggest fear
is hearing the word "guilty."

That one simple word

can take away
your precious freedom

and condemn you to prison
for the rest of your life.

On this week's episode

of Until Proven Innocent,
we'll discuss

what happens when that fear
hits close to home.

When the freedom
at stake belongs

to someone you love.

Madeline Scott is on trial

for the murder
of Rosemary Lynch

and she is an innocent woman.

So, my coworkers and I
have been transformed

from legal advocates
to those suffering

right alongside
the wrongfully accused.

And we will continue fighting

with every ounce
of strength that we have

because we have seen how,
in an instant,

your freedom can vanish.

And I know

that in the depths of my soul,

I would be lost
without Madeline Scott, so...

I am scared to death
of losing my best friend.

(sniffles)

How'd it go with Sarah?

I need to review
the cult timeline with her.

-How about Linda?
-Well, she's got

some interesting details
on this Ravi character.

Aka Robert Carter,
deceased con man,

cult leader and,
oh, serial rapist.

And our best option
for an alternative suspect.

We may not even
have to present a case.

We might be able
to knock out Bellows' case

on lack of sufficient evidence.

-You really believe that?
-Well, it's not impossible.

What does Bellows really have?

A lantern
with no hair, fibers,

uh, fingerprints...
unreliable witnesses.

Heather "Bitch" Husband.

Who I'll decimate on cross.
I got this.

What do we do about Levi?

Bellows has had him alone
and incommunicado for a week.

What if he got to him?

What if he threatened him
and he flipped?

You really think
your own brother's gonna lie

to implicate you for murder?

EASY:
Hey, either Levi
tells the truth and testifies

you didn't do it,
or I'll expose his lies

and go after Bellows
for suborning perjury.

We're ready.

What do you think
Levi's gonna say?

I have absolutely no idea.

ALDERS:
Day one of the retrial
of Madeline Scott,

only this time she's being tried
without her brother Levi,

who some say has
turned against his sister

as the prosecution's
star witness.

-(reporters clamoring)
-ALDERS: Madeline,
how does it feel to know

-that your own brother
has betrayed you?
-How does it feel

-to be a two-faced,
lying hag?
-Uh, we have no comment.

Getting scared now that a guilty
verdict is finally on the way?

You know... Do you have any idea
how much damage you do

with your hyped-up coverage
and sensationalism?

This is an actual life
that you are destroying

for an extra half-point
of ratings on a crappy show.

All right, like I said,
we have no comment.

Madeline Scott,
clearly under pressure.

Entering the courtroom now is
State's Attorney Gore Bellows.

-Mr. Bellows.
-Don't have anything
for you right now, Susan.

(quietly):
Gore...

get her.

(reporters clamoring)

*

We were a couple hours
into the mission,

off the southeast shore
of Cathedral Cove,

when the submersible picked up
a metallic object

at approximately 20 feet,

some dozen yards offshore.

And what was the object
you found?

-(grunts)
-MEDICAL EXAMINER:
It was a common camping lantern.

The two dented spots
on the lantern precisely matched

the wounds
that killed Rosemary Lynch.

-(grunting)
-Also, the metallic shards

found in the brain
of the deceased

match the lamp's metal.

The lantern belonged
to Madeline.

And how can you be sure of that,
Mrs. Husband?

Well, for one thing,
it was old, even then.

So, when I saw her carrying it,
I made a joke

-about how gross it was.
-And this discussion

happened on the night
Rosemary Lynch was murdered?

Yes.

She was walking with it
when we talked.

Any idea where she was headed?

Right to the spot
where Rosemary was found.

She was acting so strange,

like... I don't know,

maybe she was on drugs
or something.

The next thing I saw
was that Rosemary was dead,

with this huge gash on her head.

Mrs. Husband,
at the original trial,

you never mentioned anything

about Madeline
following Rosemary,

nor did you mention anything
about a lantern

or about her being on drugs.

Nobody asked me.

EASY:
Really?

You didn't think
it was important to tell anyone

that you saw Madeline
follow Rosemary

in the moments before her death?

I think this would be the first
thing you would tell someone,

anyone,

the entire world.

I honestly

-don't know why I didn't.
-Is it because

none of it actually happened?

Objection.
Argumentative.

Withdrawn.

Mrs. Husband,

haven't you been cautioned

against committing perjury
on the stand in the past?

Objection.
Relevance.

Sustained.

Prior bad acts, Your Honor.

Goes to credibility.

I'm establishing a pattern.

And I'm not allowing it,
Mr. Boudreau.

Let's stay on point.

(clears throat)

You said you saw Madeline
follow Rosemary with the lamp.

-Did you follow them, too?
-No.

Then you have no idea
whether Madeline and Rosemary

ended up in the same spot.

I know what I know.

Madeline Scott killed Rosemary.

And that's just another lie,
isn't it?

Objection, Your Honor.
Defense is badgering

-the witness.
-I'm just calling her

what she is, Your Honor,
a liar.

-Your Honor.
-JUDGE: You're on thin ice,
Mr. Boudreau.

One more of those,
and I'll hold you in contempt.

Apologies, Your Honor.

Hey, uh,
Linda Barrett working today?

No, she quit.

She quit? Really?

When?

Look, buddy,

she's the key witness
in a murder trial,

and I'm on the defense team.

She's not answering our calls.

This is life and death.

All I know is yesterday
she got a package.

Next thing I know, she quits.

You have any idea
what was in it?

No.

BODIE:
Can I get a look

at your surveillance footage?

Linda Barrett vanished, but
I-I think I know what happened.

The package she received
was delivered by PrivatePack.

It's an encrypted online service
that anonymously sends

whatever you want to whomever
you want whenever you want.

So someone
sent Linda a package,

and whatever was inside,
it made her freak out.

-Looks like
witness tampering to me.
-Yeah, but what

I don't understand is that...
what is it?

I mean, what could be so bad it
would keep her from testifying?

Sarah Tawney just called.

She's backing out, too.

Sarah, we know
why you've been avoiding us.

Listen, you got a package,
didn't you?

-What was in it?
-Did it have something to do
with the cult?

You know, when Jim Jones

started his Peoples Temple cult
in Guyana,

he had all his followers
write confessions

to crimes they didn't commit

so that he could always have
control over his flock

so they would never betray him.

Did something like that happen?

It wasn't a letter.

It was a videotape.

(exhales)
It was a sex tape,

-wasn't it?
-And other things

I'd rather not discuss.

With Ravi?

Sarah, please.

He wasn't on the tape.

It's just me
and some of the other girls.

Ravi took videos of all of us.

I guess I was stupid
to think that,

when he died,
the past died with him.

Sarah, if you don't testify,

I'm gonna go to prison
for the rest of my life.

Sarah, we can subpoena you
and force you to testify.

If I testify, whoever sent this
promised to post it online.

Please, I can't do this.

-Okay.
-(exhales)

Who else do you think
could have sent the tapes?

I have no idea.

What about Heather Dupinski?

You said that she was number two
with the cult.

Do you think, before he died,
Ravi could have sent her

-the tapes?
-It's possible.

If Heather sent those tapes...

It means she killed Rosemary.

JUDGE:
You're claiming
witness tampering?

Defense's request
for a mistrial is ridiculous.

We believe prosecution witness
Heather Husband sent

-those videotapes.
-JUDGE: Mrs. Husband?

I never sent any videotapes
to anyone.

They're lying.

They are grasping at nothing,
Your Honor.

They attack the witness on the
stand, and then they throw these

unsubstantiated
and absurd accusations.

Your Honor, we have a legitimate
interest in discovering

who tampered with our witnesses
and why.

What's the content of the tapes?

Embarrassing activities
at the cult, Your Honor.

Humiliating acts caught on tape,

used to intimidate
and control the members.

We posit that Ravi used
the tapes against these girls

to repeatedly force them
into sexual situations.

Ms. Scott,
for me to declare a mistrial,

I need proof that the tapes
actually exist.

Our witnesses are afraid
to turn them over, Your Honor.

Then all of this is speculation.

Your motion for a mistrial
is denied.

We reconvene tomorrow morning.

BODIE:
You think we should get
something to eat

-other than licorice?
-Nah, I'm good.

Unless you got some ice cream.

(scoffs)
Do I have ice cream?

(knocking)

Hmm. You expecting somebody?

No.

Hello.

I'm Joan Myers with CPS.

I'm looking for Nikki
and Nathan Castro.

BODIE:
Yeah, uh, Nikki's at work.

Na-Nathan's here.

How did you know
where to find us?

CPS has its ways.

May I come in?

Well, that actually depends
on what you want.

Standard check on the child's
living conditions.

I understand he's been spending
a good deal of time here.

Are those swords on the wall?

Maybe.

I'm guessing that's a bad thing.

Are you gonna let me in or not?

Yeah.

NIKKI:
What did you say?

I need to know
exactly what you said.

Okay, I told her
that Nathan was doing great.

And what did she say?

She focused on my nunchucks
a lot, actually,

-and-and my...
-Bodie!

I just...
I-I can't lose him, Bodie.

I can't lose my little boy.
I can't lose him.

It's gonna be okay.
All right?

90% of the time,

family court awards custody back
to the birth mother.

And if Daniela can prove
that she's even a little...

I know.

You're not gonna lose him.

You can't promise that.

Okay? No one can.

No one.

I...

BELLOWS:
Mr. Scott, I realize
this must be difficult for you,

but thank you
for agreeing to testify today.

On the night
of Rosemary Lynch's murder,

were you
with your sister Madeline?

Mr. Scott?

-Your Honor.
-JUDGE: The witness is

directed to answer the question.

I don't remember.

BELLOWS:
If I may,

I'll refresh
the witness' recollection.

Mr. Scott,
you have previously stated

that you were
with your sister, Madeline,

at Quarry Lake on the evening
of Rosemary Lynch's murder.

-Correct?
-Like I said, I don't remember.

Permission to treat
this witness as hostile.

-Permission granted.
-BELLOWS: Were you aware

that your sister cannot account
for three hours

of her time on that night?

-I can't remember.
-Then I'll remind you.

It was during those three hours

that Ms. Scott conveniently
cannot recall the events

of the evening when
Rosemary Lynch was murdered.

Well, to quote our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ,

"Those are your words,
sir, not mine."

BELLOWS:
Mr. Scott, on the evening
of Rosemary's disappearance,

before her body was found,
did you see the defendant,

Madeline Scott,
near Cathedral Cove

where the murder weapon
was found, high on drugs?

I'm warning you.
Either you answer the questions

or you'll be cited for contempt
and jailed until you answer.

Oh, jailed.

Jailed. (chuckles)

Your Honor, you can do
whatever you want with me,

but I refuse to answer questions

from this corrupt prosecutor!

JUDGE:
Mr. Scott, I find you
to be in contempt

of these proceedings.

Take the witness into custody.

Been there before,
haven't I, Gore?

-(buzzer blares)
-(Madeline sighs heavily)

Well,

that was one of the sweetest,

stupidest things
anyone's ever done for me.

I'm your big brother.
What'd you expect?

Where were you?

You disappeared.
I was worried.

Why didn't you talk to me before
you pulled a stunt like that?

Because you were gonna try
to talk me out of it.

You're damn right.

I would have succeeded, too.

Come on.
You really think

I was gonna testify
against you, Maddie?

What did he want you
to testify to?

He said I was on drugs.
What was he talking about?

Those three hours that you
couldn't account for that night,

you weren't just asleep, Maddie.

You were-you were acting weird,
like you were on drugs.

No.

No, I didn't take anything.

I never did.
I don't do drugs.

I know.

But something was up.

You were out of it.

I mean, you didn't...
you didn't even

go looking for Rosemary
until the next morning.

-When we found her?
-Yes.

I don't know
if you got slipped something,

if you-you took something
that you didn't know,

but something was off.

MADELINE:
If I was high on drugs
and I don't remember

what happened,
I could have done anything.

No, you didn't do it. Stop.

-It was my lantern.
-No. Listen to me.

You're innocent.

(knocking)

How are you doing?

I don't know.

(sniffles)

-I'm feeling a little lost.
-Mm.

Yeah, well,
Bellows presented a good case.

But... now it's our turn.

And we will fight back
with everything we've got.

What have we got?

Neither Sarah nor Linda
will testify.

We crapped out
on our witness tampering motion.

You did a noble job
cross-examining Heather,

but it wasn't a slam dunk.

Levi pleaded the fifth,

so the jury's just gonna think
that he's hiding something.

Bellows is kicking our ass.

No, it hasn't gone
as easy as I thought it would.

But I am still not daunted.

Because you are innocent,
Madeline Scott.

And that makes
everything I do make sense.

I won't lose you.

You're really good at this,
counselor.

So, our newest
alternate suspect--

Heather Husband.

I don't know.

You know,
I know Heather's involved,

but I don't buy her
as the killer.

Well, why not?
All roads lead to her.

No. I saw her
in the courtroom earlier.

She was really affected

by what I was saying happened
to those girls.

Maybe it was guilt
for what she did to them.

Or maybe she was a victim, too.

I know. If not Heather,

then whoever Heather
was lying for on the stand

is the one who sent those tapes.

She's protecting him.

Heather's protecting Ravi.

Why would she protect
a dead man?

He's still alive.

ALDERS: With the election
only five days away,

Gore Bellows is pulling ahead
in the attorney general's race.

Pundits agree that his
candidacy could live or die

based on the verdict in the
Madeline Scott murder trial.

-(doorbell buzzing)
-Now, some have argued
he should stall the verdict

-just in case he loses.
-(Atticus barks)

(TV clicks off)

(Atticus whines)

(sighs)

Hi.

I really need to talk to you.

About what?

I got one of those tapes, too.

Linda and Sarah
told you the truth.

There was a cult.

I got sucked into it
by this guy.

He was so charismatic and wise.

Just felt like
he could see into your soul.

You're talking about Ravi.

He treated us all like adults.

He made us feel so special.

We did anything he wanted.

We wanted his approval.

MADELINE (sighs):
Yeah, I...

saw all the initials
with the hash marks

carved into the cabinet
at Sparrow Ridge.

I assumed that was
all the times

everyone had had sex with him.

Yeah.

But what you don't know
is the night Rosemary died

he wanted you.

Hey. Where's Madeline?

-Ravi's gonna be here soon.
-No. She's not feeling well.

Just get her.
Ravi doesn't like to wait.

I'll do it myself.

It's not happening, Heather.
(groans)

Rosemary was protecting me
from him.

I'm so sorry
for what happened to you.

I appreciate you saying that.

I do.

But I'm not sure
I can forgive you.

But I am...

...sorry for what happened
to you.

(sniffles) I didn't realize
all the damage he caused.

I didn't realize
he was hurting me.

Did you see Ravi kill Rosemary?

No. I honestly didn't think
that Ravi showed up that night.

This whole time,

I thought
that you killed Rosemary.

Until you got the tape?

Yeah. I always thought
Ravi was dead.

Toby said he died
in an ashram in Bangladesh.

I was gonna drop out of school
and go find him,

but Toby showed me this article.

Ravi died in a fire
with 14 other people.

It was a few months
after Rosemary was killed.

Wait, Toby Kissell
told you that?

Yeah.

He used to do a lot
of Ravi's dirty work.

They were super close.

He did everything
Ravi asked him to.

(indistinct chatter)

Toby committed suicide
because of the guilt.

(sighs)

He knew Ravi killed Rosemary.

I wasn't lying to you, Maddie.

She was my best friend, too.

I hated you for killing her.

I believe you, Heather.

I still miss her.

She was great, right?

I want to testify for you.

I'll tell the court
everything I know.

(Madeline sighs, sniffles)

It won't work.

When a prosecution witness
flips,

they're just deemed unreliable.

It'll backfire.

What are you gonna do?

(sighs)

Ravi's still alive.

I'm gonna find him.

Do I have to go?

Nathan,

we talked about this.

Judge says you got to go stay
with your mom now. Okay?

Hey, tie your shoe.

She's gonna be here any second.

So, I'm not gonna
see you anymore?

Hey, um...

look, we're gonna see you
all the time, all right?

We'll go to the park
and have ninja fights

and take trips to the arcade.

You promise?

Yeah.

Double promise, bro.

(crying)

Your backpack's
in the other room.

Get it.

(Nikki exhales)

(sighs)

I can't let him see me cry.

I know. I hear you.

It's gonna be okay.

Look, hey, we're gonna keep
eagle eyes on her.

The second she screws up, we're
gonna take her back to court.

All right?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you, too, babe.

-You got anything?
-Yeah.

So, I found this.

It's a death certificate
from Bangladesh.

Says Robert Carter died
February 13, 2004 in Dhaka.

So you think the death
certificate is fake?

I do. There's no record
of the remains

of Robert Carter being recovered
or returned to the U.S.

So he claims he died
in a real fire,

faked a death certificate...

And then quietly returns
as someone else.

But as who?

The only person who knows that
killed himself a few months ago.

Maybe Toby Kissell has relatives
we can talk to.

You know what, he does.
He has a sister, Zoe.

All right.

VIOLET:
Zoe, thanks again
for having us over.

ZOE:
Oh, of course.

I'm happy to help.

Um... well, these are
my brother's things.

He... he didn't have much.

-Right here?
-Mm-hmm.

All right. We're just gonna
take a quick look.

I don't know why
he killed himself.

I mean, he'd been down,
but everything seemed fine.

Well, Zoe, whatever it was,
it possibly ties into our case.

So... hopefully,
we can find out.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

VIOLET:
Whoa.

What?

Toby's bank statements.

This guy was broke.

Isn't everyone like that?

Ah, it's stuck.

What is this?

-What'd you find?
-I found Handycam tapes.

And these date back to the pre-
smartphone Cretaceous period.

And here is your Handycam.

Well, it's not mine,
but I do have one just like it.

-What if these are more
teen sex videos?
-Easy, perv.

Uh-uh. I'm serious.
If they are,

that's definitely evidence
of the cult.

(tape rewinding)

-Hey, Bodie?
-Yeah?

Look at this. Look.

Oh, my God.

Is that...?

Yeah.

Mr. Boudreau,
is the defense ready?

Yes, we are, Your Honor.

The defense calls
Rosemary Lynch.

(gallery gasping, murmuring)

Order.

-Order!
-(gavel banging)

Get that out of my face.
Toby, turn that off.

TOBY:
Why? I thought we'd make
a hot little tape.

ROSEMARY:
Turn it off or get out.

TOBY:
Okay. Fine.

Turning it off.

Did you... did you bring
the downers?

TOBY:
What do you need roofies for?

Is sex with me that bad
you want to sleep through it?

No, it's not... (sighs)
for me, stupid.

You can't ever
repeat this, okay?

Like, ever.

It's for Madeline.

TOBY:
You want to give them to
Madeline so she can join us?

No need.
You know she wants me.

No.

I'm gonna knock her out

so that Ravi can't touch her.

TOBY:
Oh, man.

He's gonna be so pissed.

EASY:
That night,

Rosemary Lynch intended
to drug Madeline

to protect her
from sleeping with Ravi,

her real killer.

Rosemary died
protecting Madeline.

She was trying to save
her best friend.

Certainly heard some
wild stories during this trial.

But we must not forget
the basic truth:

Madeline Scott was in possession
of the murder weapon.

The defense has played you
a videotape

to prove Madeline's innocence.

But what it showed
was her motive.

Rosemary Lynch slept with a boy

that Madeline loved,
and then fed her drugs.

So, in an agitated
and drug-induced state,

Madeline Scott sought revenge

by killing Rosemary Lynch.

Don't let the craziness the
defense has thrown in your path

cloud the basic truth.

Madeline Scott
killed her best friend.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

it is time for justice
to finally be done.

Your Honor,
I ask leave of the court

for a substitution of counsel.

In place of Mr. Boudreau,
I will represent myself pro se.

Permission granted.

(sighs)

I thought I understood
friendship.

I thought I understood
sacrifice.

Heroism.

But it wasn't until Rosemary

that I saw what these words
really meant.

The evidence shows

that I did not kill Rosemary.

The video you watched
shows clearly that, in fact,

Rosemary died to protect me

from a sadistic serial rapist.

Rosemary cared more
about other people

than she cared about herself.

And this monster,

who calls himself Ravi,

rewarded that selflessness
by crushing her skull.

He crushed the love

and the life

out of my best friend.

There are two tragedies
in this case:

Rosemary's death...

...and the destruction

that her first murder trial
brought on me,

my brother and my family.

Because when someone
is wrongfully convicted,

there's more than
just one victim.

There's countless.

But you...

...you can end these tragedies.

You can end the cycle
here, today.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...

I'm innocent.

I am innocent.

ZAHN:
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, Gore,

you got balls of steel.

How do you mean?

Well, you could have stalled
this case for months,

but you finished just days
before the election.

Of course, if you lose...

I didn't have any choice.

Ever since Madeline
was released,

every time I look in the mirror,

the case is there.

It never goes away.

I just need it
to finally go away.

Well... I hope you win.

You know, for your own spiritual
well-being, of course,

but... you know, even more
for all the freaking money

-I have put into this campaign.
-(chuckles)

As I recall, you pushed me
into going after her as well.

You're right.
I did. I did.

I thought she was guilty
as hell. I still do.

Madeline?

Ms. Scott, Rick Zahn.

Mr. Zahn is an informal advisor
of mine.

It's a pleasure.

I was, uh...
I was sitting in the back,

but I saw your closing argument.

It was very powerful.

Thank you.

Uh, do you have a minute?

MADELINE:
So, jury's been out three days.

BELLOWS:
I'm sure they'll do
the right thing.

Yeah. I feel the same.

I came here
to tell you something,

but I have a question first.

I'd really appreciate it
if you would be honest with me.

I always am.

If you weren't running
for attorney general,

would you
have prosecuted me again?

Yes.

You said you had something
you wanted to tell me?

(sighs) Yeah.

I forgive you.

Okay.

No, really. All these years,
I took it personally,

but this is just who you are.

I don't think anything's
gonna change that.

You may have
had a soul once, but...

...I think it's as dead
as Rosemary Lynch.

Manslaughter.

15 years.

Give you credit for time served,
you're out in five.

You didn't hear a word I said,
did you?

Take the deal, Madeline.

It may surprise you
to hear this: I like you.

I think you're a good person

who had a very bad night.

I didn't kill her.

No matter what the jury says,

no matter what
the public thinks,

I didn't kill Rosemary.

And you and I will both
go to our graves

knowing that's true.

*

Will the defendant please rise?

Madam Foreperson, what say you?

In the matter
of The State of Illinois

v. Madeline Elizabeth Scott

as to the sole count
of murder in the first degree,

we find the defendant...

...not guilty.

(gallery cheering)

("Free" by Ryn Weaver playing)

-(whispers): Thank you.
-(gavel banging)

* I'm slippin' up *

* Under my feet *

(laughs) My girl.

* Hallelujah... *

Get over here. Oh!

* Hear my heart beat... *

-(laughs) Oh, you do like me.
-(indistinct chatter)

* Nothin' competes *

* When love is free... *

Hey. We finally got the felony
arrest record for Robert Carter.

-MADELINE:
That took long enough.
-BODIE: Yeah, exactly.

The Saint Charles, Missouri, PD
should really learn

how to digitize their files.

But, anyways, this'll
tell us who Ravi is.

What are we waiting for here?

Yeah. Sorry. Just, um...

about to see the face of the man
who killed my best friend, so...

Yeah.

(exhales)

So?

Oh, my God.

So, I hate to give you

bad news on the eve
of your election.

Which I'm now going to lose,
by the way.

But I found Ravi,
the cult leader.

He was still alive.
Just changed his name.

It's Rick Zahn.

Your chief campaign donor.

Robert Carter, aka Ravi.

Heather Husband,
Sarah Tawney, Linda Barrett--

they've all confirmed
that it's him.

He targeted you, right?

Influenced you
to prosecute me again,

cover his tracks.

You knew?

Early this morning.

I had Homicide run a few checks.

Madeline, I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

I already forgave you.

I don't know what
you were planning,

but I already gave it
to a few reporters.

It's gonna break
first thing tomorrow morning.

I don't know what kind of damage
that's gonna do

to your campaign, but that
shouldn't matter, right?

You beat me in court.

And you put the final nail
in the coffin of my campaign.

I'd like to say
I'm not enjoying this, but...

what I really care about

is that Rosemary finally gets
the justice she deserves.

Of course.

And I assure you...

justice will be served.

BAILIFF:
All rise.

The State v. Madeline

and Levi Scott will now proceed.

FOREPERSON:
We, the jury, find
the defendants, Madeline Scott

and Levi Scott,
guilty of the crime

-of the murder
of Rosemary Lynch.
-No, we're innocent!

-We're innocent!
-Your Honor, please! No!

-I would never hurt Rosemary!
-No! Your Honor!

Your Honor, please! No!

We're innocent!

(sighs) This is a little
dramatic, isn't it, Gore?

I mean, even for you.

You came to see me just after
Toby Kissell killed himself.

You were afraid
your cover was gonna be blown,

so you used your money

to push me into retrying
Madeline Scott.

(chuckles) What the hell
are you talking about?

Don't waste your time
denying it.

Your teenage victims
already identified you.

They thought you were dead.

I was.

(chuckles softly)

How many youngsters,

underaged girls, were there?

Ten? 15? 20?

It's not my fault.

God made me this way.

But then he led me
onto the path to salvation.

I started thinking
about ways I could use

these drugs that I had made.
(chuckles)

Next thing I knew, I had created
a pharmaceutical company

that has saved
hundreds of thousands of lives.

So, one poor little girl
had to die

so that so many could be cured.

Out of my darkness
I have brought light.

You're still a murderer.

-A murderer
that you're in bed with.
-You think that's

gonna stop me coming after you?

I will take you down
with me, Gore.

I'll testify
that you knew the entire time

who I was, and you took
my seven million dollars

in exchange for
prosecuting Madeline Scott.

Why did you do it?

Why did you kill that girl?

(sighs)

Rosemary!

I am not playing games here.

-Go get Madeline.
-No.

-She doesn't belong with us.
-I decide that!

If you go anywhere near her,

I'll tell everyone what we do
in that farmhouse.

-You'll go to jail.
-You little whore!

(both grunting)

Don't worry about it.

Hey.

We can fix this.

We can.

I'll disappear.

Tonight.

You'll never have to worry
about me again.

Take a look down there.

That's where we found the body
of your victim.

(chuckles)

BELLOWS: Do you know
how many lives you've destroyed?

Rosemary. Her family.

All those girls you raped.

Levi and Madeline.
Their parents.

I'm sorry.

I can't let you go.

Well, then you'll spend the rest
of your life in prison with me.

No.

No, I won't.

(both grunting)

(screaming)

(thud)

I am pleased to announce

that in conjunction with
the Chicago Police Department,

we have identified the man
who killed Rosemary Lynch.

Shockingly,
it's someone we all know.

Billionaire Rick Zahn.

Mr. Zahn, when faced
with an arrest for murder,

cowardly decided
to end his own life

at the exact spot
he killed Rosemary.

As many of you know,

Rick Zahn was a major
contributor to my campaign

and attempted to influence me
in many ways.

Thankfully, I was able
to see through his guise

and even help
engineer his downfall.

I would like
to publicly apologize

to Madeline Scott...

...another innocent victim

in Mr. Zahn's reign of terror.

REPORTER: And with that,
Gore Bellows wins

the closely contested
attorney general race

by a comfortable margin.

Man gives one speech
and wins an election.

American politics
is a dark, dark place.

Our goal was to end
his campaign,

and we ultimately failed.

You know, sometimes
you just have to let it go.

The real question is
do you actually believe

that Ravi killed himself?

You don't think it was suicide?

The man was
about to lose everything.

Mm, I don't know.

One of his victims
could've knocked him off, right?

You got Linda, Sarah, Heather.

They all knew who he was.

Heather Husband.

Name like that, she's got to be
guilty of something, right?

-(laughs)
-EASY: Yeah, but...

Linda Barrett seems
more like a killer than Heather.

What about Bellows?
