00:00Damn!
00:06Something wrong, sis?
00:08Yeah, something's wrong.
00:10I sent Ari five texts yesterday, and she hasn't responded to any of them.
00:16And, yes, she's probably just having fun at the lake.
00:19But you think that she could take at least two seconds to let her mother know that she's at the very least alive?
00:24Mary, do you think it's morning?
00:33There's no way to tell.
00:35There's no one knows.
00:38Yeah, no way to tell.
00:40Did you sleep at all?
00:42I didn't either.
00:47What's that?
00:49What?
00:51I don't know. It looks like her house left with Cynthia.
00:54Oh, thank God.
01:07Come on.
01:08Dude, my voice is so hoarse, I'm screaming for help all night.
01:12No, don't.
01:14Hi, I was wondering if you could connect me to room, I think it's 326.
01:19Guest name is Gwen von Leuchner.
01:25Thanks.
01:30Good. She's not there.
01:32And with any luck, she left the necklace in the room this time.
01:37Just hold on a little longer, okay?
01:39I'm going to get you guys out of this mess.
01:42Hey, Mom.
02:04Oh, there you are, Sophia.
02:06Sweetheart, are you okay?
02:07Uh, yeah.
02:10Why do you ask?
02:12Well, I'm...
02:13You didn't answer when I knocked on your bedroom door this morning.
02:16I assumed you were sleeping, but then I opened the door and you weren't there.
02:22Sophia?
02:23Why are you saying anything?
02:25Are you home now?
02:26Uh, no.
02:29Um...
02:30I'm in Chicago.
02:33You're...
02:34What are you doing in Chicago?
02:37I'm here to meet with a couple who would like to adopt my baby.
02:41What?
02:42Oh, God.
02:50Where is that stupid phone charger?
02:55Hey.
02:55Good morning, Aunt Bell.
02:56Hey.
02:57Good morning, Kate.
02:58Hey.
02:58I heard that jury selection started today.
03:01Seems quick, no?
03:02Yeah.
03:02Well, EJ asked the judge to move it up to the first possible date.
03:06Ah!
03:07There it is.
03:07Hey, I know that it can't be easy for you.
03:10You know, prosecuting your own nephew.
03:13Yeah.
03:14No, it's not easy.
03:15Especially since I think he's innocent.
03:18Lots of relief, because I think he's innocent, too.
03:21Yeah.
03:21Still, I have to prosecute the case to the best of my ability.
03:25Whether EJ likes it or not.
03:27No, it's not easy for me.
03:57Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:13Sophia, what are you talking about?
04:15What couple, and where did you find them?
04:19My new lawyer did.
04:21What?
04:21When did you get a new lawyer?
04:24Pretty recently.
04:24Uh, I just spoke on the phone with them this morning, and she said that I ought to meet
04:30the potential new parents right away, so we drove down here together.
04:35Why didn't you tell me any of this?
04:38Because the baby is due any day now, and I knew that if I had consulted with you about
04:45it first, it would just hold things up.
04:48Sophia, this is an important life-altering decision.
04:54It shouldn't be made on a whim.
04:58God.
04:59I was supposed to report for jury duty, but I'm just going to skip it and head to Chicago.
05:04I need to be with you and Tate when you meet with that couple.
05:09Tate's not here.
05:11What?
05:12Why not?
05:12He's at Senior Lake Week.
05:15This was all very last minute, and the cell phone service up there is really spotty,
05:20so I couldn't reach him, but I figured I can just handle this on my own.
05:25Well, you should not have to handle this on your own.
05:28That's ridiculous.
05:29So tell me exactly where you are, and I will head out there right now.
05:33No, you won't.
05:34Excuse me?
05:36You already ruined one adoption for me.
05:39I'm not going to let you ruin another.
05:41Goodbye, Mom.
05:43Sophia, don't you dare...
05:47Damn it.
05:59You know, I guess it's a good thing that Johnny and Chanel didn't adopt Sophia as my baby.
06:03Can you imagine that?
06:05It would have been a huge mess, given that Sophia's due to give birth any day now.
06:09Oh, how's she doing?
06:11She's good.
06:13Hmm.
06:13You don't seem so sure.
06:16Yeah, I don't know.
06:17She's been acting just very, very weird lately, like ignoring my calls, and then when I do
06:23talk to her, she's like in this huge rush to get off the phone.
06:27I mean, like, to her credit, she was cool with me going up to the lake yesterday to get
06:30up with Holly.
06:31Oh, it's lake week.
06:33I love that.
06:33How was it?
06:35I just went up for the day, but I actually came back early because Holly was a no-show.
06:40I have no idea why.
06:42I haven't heard from her, and none of our friends have either.
06:47She hasn't texted you, or...?
06:49No.
06:50And now that a whole night has gone by, I'm starting to really worry about her.
06:54What do you mean, don't?
06:58I mean, don't drink it.
06:59It could be, like, poisoned.
07:00Poisoned bottled water?
07:01Yeah, I seriously doubt that, Holly.
07:02Besides, the creep that kidnapped us wants money from Doug.
07:06If you think about it, if he really wanted us dead, he wouldn't have given us blankets.
07:11Okay, yeah, whatever.
07:12Fine, I guess you're right.
07:13Yes.
07:13Damn it, I just wish he would let me call my grandma Maggie.
07:16Like, she could get the cash right away, and we could go home.
07:18No, I know, and instead we're waiting on stupid Doug to scratch up enough cash to pay off his debts.
07:24Who knows how long our kidnapper is willing to wait.
07:28It's probably morning by now.
07:31Do you think our families even realize we're missing?
07:34Ari said, Mom, I will call you when I get to the lake.
07:38But then she never did.
07:42Oh, my God.
07:44She's punishing me for embarrassing her.
07:46But what did you do to embarrass her?
07:52I gave her a box of condom to take to the lake.
07:55You what?
07:56Look, you and I both know what goes on during lake week.
07:59If Ari's going to have sex, I wanted her to be safe.
08:02Plus, the last thing that this family needs is an unwanted pregnancy.
08:07Tell me about it.
08:08Things are crazy enough around here with Tesoro.
08:10Can you imagine another baby in the mix?
08:12Anyway, after throwing every summons away into a fireplace and or paper shredder for the last 12, 13 years, I finally decided to be a responsible, upstanding citizen.
08:23And today I'm reporting for jury duty.
08:26Oh.
08:27Well, I'll look after Tesoro, no problem.
08:30I mean, I am the foster daddy after all, right, big guy?
08:34No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:36Tesoro is coming with me.
08:37Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.
08:39Uh, yeah.
08:39Uh, the court may frown on you for bringing an infant.
08:42Yeah.
08:43Thus, my plan to fail, voir dire.
08:45Since as adorable as this little munchkin is, he does tend to scream his head off when he's in unfamiliar surroundings.
08:51Oh, so much for wanting to be a responsible, upstanding citizen.
08:55Mm.
08:56Catch y'all on the flip.
08:57Come on, Tesoro.
08:58Oh.
09:13Why can't I remember?
09:28Will try to kill him if you were.
09:39Hmm.
09:43Come on.
09:44What?
09:45Oh.
09:45No, no, no.
09:48Oh.
09:50Whoa.
09:53Whoa.
09:53For the record, I didn't seduce you so you would drop the charges against Johnny.
10:09I made love to you because I wanted to.
10:14And also because you wanted me to drop the charges against Johnny.
10:19But also because I wanted you.
10:31Of course I told them.
10:33I said I have a pregnant daughter who needs me and they didn't give a damn.
10:37Hi, do you mind keeping it down a little?
10:42They told me I've already put off jury duty too many times.
10:44So, Sam, can you please just drive to Chicago and look for our daughter?
10:49Yes, I'm aware it's a big city. Just find her, okay?
10:58Sorry. I hope I didn't wake the baby.
11:01No, he's still asleep.
11:03So he is.
11:04A little sweetheart.
11:07So much easier to deal with when they're that age.
11:10All you have to worry about is feeding schedules and diaper changes.
11:12But when they grow up, you have no idea how little control you have over them.
11:19Right.
11:20Well, I'm not going to have to worry about any of that. I'm just fostering him.
11:23Temporarily.
11:25Oh.
11:26Looks like a newborn.
11:27Yeah.
11:28His mother dropped him off at the firehouse right after he was born.
11:33Then she skedaddled.
11:34Oh.
11:36What a little guy.
11:37You know, I am actually a little disappointed that Leo didn't take me up on my offer.
11:44It would have been nice to spend some time with little teeth.
11:46Yeah.
11:47I'm sure it would have.
11:49And I know how much you love kids.
11:51You've always wanted one of your own.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Well, I guess it wasn't in the cards.
11:57It could still happen.
11:58Yeah, okay.
11:59I'm kind of running out of time here, sis.
12:01Well, listen.
12:02Whether or not you have kids of your own one day, you are an amazing uncle to Ari.
12:08And she adores you.
12:10You think?
12:11Even after I ratted her out for flirting with Doug Williams?
12:15She knows that you were just looking out for her.
12:16And honestly, I'm so glad that I wasn't the overprotective one for once.
12:21Yeah, but I'm sure when she gets those 500 or so text messages that you've sent, you're going to regain the title.
12:29What?
12:29I'm just saying, you know, she's a teenager.
12:32You've got to give her space or else she's going to act out and rebel.
12:38Okay, so, if I'm understanding correctly, you're saying that I shouldn't drive up to the lake,
12:45track down my daughter while she's hanging out with her friends?
12:48Yeah.
12:48Only if you don't mind not seeing her for several decades.
12:58Trust me, I have no doubt that at this very moment, my mom was having a complete meltdown.
13:01I was supposed to call her as soon as we got to the lake.
13:04Okay.
13:05No offense, though, but, like, would it be unusual for you to blow her off?
13:10Yeah, I guess you have a point.
13:12It looks like my history of being a sort of flaky daughter is coming to bite me in the ass.
13:18But hopefully my mom's anxiety is in full force, which in that case, my Uncle Rafe is probably out looking for us right now.
13:24Yeah.
13:25Yeah, and you know what?
13:27Hopefully he'll find my class ring.
13:28Or somebody already probably did, and they turned it in and raised a detective, so he'll figure out where to find us.
13:35Yeah.
13:35No, exactly.
13:37So let's just try to relax.
13:43It's not poison, Holly.
13:44Don't be so paranoid.
13:50Fair.
13:51Perfectly bad.
13:53I didn't know that.
13:54It might just take you a few minutes to kill over and die.
13:56Well, at least I won't die hungry.
13:57We're going to need her strength up, too.
14:02We have no idea what we're going to be up against today.
14:05We could be fighting for our lives.
14:22What do you want now?
14:23I want to know where Holly is.
14:25I told you yesterday, I don't know.
14:27No, see?
14:28I think you do.
14:29You were acting nervous, and you were acting weird, like someone who has a secret.
14:33You were just imagining that.
14:34No, I was not.
14:36You were lying then, and you're lying to me right now.
14:39I don't have time for this.
14:40That's too bad, man, because I'm not leaving until you tell me the truth.
14:43Look, EJ, I just think it's best for all parties involved, including my own sanity, if we could just keep things strictly professional in the courtroom.
15:01What?
15:02You think a bit of banter won't endear us to the judge and jury?
15:07I'm joking.
15:10Needless to say, we don't want the appearance of impropriety.
15:14But I would like to talk to you about this later, in private.
15:19I don't want there to be a rift between us.
15:25Me neither.
15:26But I will say that I think it would be wise to keep some space between us, in public anyway, just until this trial is over.
15:37I'm not keen on that idea.
15:40This is for Johnny's sake, EJ.
15:41Fine, for Johnny's sake.
15:48Okay, good.
15:49Then starting now, you and I both have a job to do, which puts us on opposite ends of this case, so...
15:57Henceforth, in this courtroom, we are no longer lovers.
16:02We're adversaries.
16:11Peek-a-boo!
16:12I see you!
16:14Probably somebody had played peek-a-boo with me.
16:17Instead of my mother driving us from one dive bar to the next, playing a game she liked to call, where's my ex-husband?
16:22Is that really a game?
16:24No.
16:25It was a joke.
16:27Obviously, it didn't land.
16:28Sorry.
16:29I'm not a fan of jokes.
16:32Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
16:34Goodness, he is so precious.
16:37He really likes you, I can tell.
16:39Mom, he's the only thing keeping me from going out of my mind with worry.
16:44Yes, you are.
16:45Yeah.
16:46You hear that, little guy?
16:47You are spreading joy, regulating nervous systems everywhere you go.
16:51You're like a rosy-cheeked little talisman.
16:54And with any luck, you are going to be my ticket out of here.
16:57Okay, so how about this?
17:01Instead of driving all the way up to the lake, stressing out, freaking out, okay, you just call the hotel and see if they've checked in.
17:09Oh my God.
17:10Why didn't I think of that?
17:11And that way, Ari won't have to know that I've been going out of my mind with worry.
17:15Yeah.
17:16And by the way, I fully intend to count the number of condoms she brings home.
17:19That don't.
17:20No.
17:21That's...
17:22No.
17:26Hi, my name is Gabby Hernandez.
17:29My daughter, Ariana Horton, is a guest at your hotel this week.
17:33And I just, yeah, no, I just wanted to...
17:35No, no, no, no, no, not Horton, Horton, H-O-R-T-O-N.
17:42Wait, are you sure?
17:45Okay, well, what about her friend Holly Jonas?
17:53Okay, thanks.
17:58Oh my God, Rafe.
18:00Ari and Holly never checked in.
18:05That didn't make you sound a pretty cringe just now.
18:11I thought you were convinced these lunch trucks weren't going to hurt us.
18:15Yeah, but that's only if Doug actually comes through.
18:18And he's not exactly misreliable now, is he?
18:21God, I could just kill him for getting us into this mess with this dumpster fire.
18:24Okay, to be fair, it's not like Doug wanted this to happen.
18:29Are you serious right now, Holly?
18:32After everything that Jurg has done, you're actually defending him?
18:34Tate, listen to me.
18:39You're way off base.
18:40Stop.
18:41Just stop.
18:42Don't you dare try to gaslight me.
18:44Gaslighting you?
18:45Listen, why don't you take your pop psychology BS and get the hell out of here?
18:49Doug, I'm not leaving until you tell me what you know.
18:52Okay, well now I'm going to throw you out.
18:54Don't you, don't you touch me, man.
18:56I swear.
18:56What is...
18:59What is this?
19:04Are you stalking Holly?
19:07You're a sick perv, man.
19:10Oh my God, and Ari too?
19:12Doug, that is it.
19:13I'm calling the police, man.
19:14Wait a second.
19:15You've got it all wrong.
19:16Okay.
19:17You have two seconds to tell me exactly what you know.
19:18I didn't take those pictures.
19:20Someone sent them to me.
19:22What?
19:23Why would someone send that to you?
19:27Listen.
19:29Holly's in trouble.
19:31And so is Ari.
19:33And it's all my fault.
19:51Please don't tell me.
20:03Is this...
20:04The people versus John Roman DeMera.
20:14Yes, I'm aware that you've had dealings with my son and me.
20:18But the question is, can you be impartial with the facts of the case?
20:23No, I cannot.
20:25Because you, Mr. DeMera, are a miserable excuse for a human being.
20:29And I'd like to tear you limb from limb for all the trouble you've caused my daughter.
20:32Oh, that's lovely.
20:34Ben, let me ask you this, Miss Choi.
20:37Can you be impartial when judging the defendant?
20:40No, definitely not.
20:42Miss Trigger Happy's son ruined everything for Sophia.
20:48Excuse me for calls.
21:01Tell me, Tesoro.
21:03Have you noticed that all of these jurors look like they live in their parents' basements?
21:07Or worse, they look like they just started a podcast out of their parents' basements.
21:11Coming at one, just one juror that looks like they're out of Central Casting,
21:15I'm not even saying that they have to be good-looking, but this place didn't mean the creeps.
21:19Ah, how did it go?
21:22Dismissed.
21:22Oh, lucky.
21:24Did you make up any stories about seeing a UFO or anything like that?
21:27No.
21:28I just told them the truth.
21:31The truth.
21:32What was that like?
21:34Good luck.
21:34I hope you catch a break, too.
21:37And I just wanted to say goodbye to this little sweetheart.
21:44I know we didn't get to hang out very long, but the way you were looking at me before,
21:51that sweet smile,
21:54I feel like we formed a real bond.
21:57Well, Amy Choi isn't the only potential juror
22:04who feels they can't be impartial when it comes to the Demeras.
22:08Which isn't surprising, because
22:10anyone with a Wi-Fi connection knows about the checkered history of your family
22:14and automatically assumes the worst.
22:18Including you.
22:20What?
22:21That's not true.
22:22I love Johnny.
22:24Sydney.
22:24Theo.
22:25I see that my name was conspicuously left off that roll call.
22:34Well, we're in the courtroom.
22:37Remember?
22:38Mm-hmm.
22:43Wait.
22:44Am I in the right place?
22:46What are you two doing here?
22:52Oh, no.
22:53No, no, no, no.
22:59Whoa, whoa, whoa.
23:00Hey, hey, hey, listen, listen, listen.
23:01Don't freak out.
23:02Don't freak out.
23:03No.
23:03This is my daughter we're talking about.
23:05I mean,
23:05what if Ari and Holly were in some kind of accident?
23:08Oh, my God.
23:08Well, we would have already been notified if that were the case.
23:11All right?
23:11Maybe they just
23:12made a pit stop somewhere.
23:14But that doesn't make any sense, Rafe.
23:16They were so excited to go to the lake.
23:17Why would they just stop off anywhere?
23:21Yeah, well, that's a good point.
23:24All right, well, the PD can't do anything yet,
23:25because they haven't been missing long enough.
23:27But I will unofficially put some feelers out,
23:29see if I can find them.
23:30Okay.
23:31Right?
23:32Okay.
23:33Okay.
23:34Okay.
23:35All right.
23:36Yeah, of course.
23:37Please let me know as soon as you hear anything.
23:41I will.
23:42No, it's going to be okay.
23:44Okay.
23:53Look,
23:54all I know is when Doug first told me about these long jerks
23:58and how badly they beat him up,
24:00it was clear he was in way over his head,
24:04which is why I gave him the money in the first place
24:05so he could pay all the debts
24:06and he paid them back.
24:07So if everything was settled,
24:09why are the loan sharks asking for money?
24:11I don't know.
24:12Okay, I don't know.
24:13Probably because they're loan sharks.
24:15They're probably just trying to collect as much as they can.
24:17They're bastards.
24:19I'm sure he wishes he never got involved with them.
24:21Yeah, well, I wish I never got involved with Doug.
24:24Okay.
24:25Yeah, but looking back on it, Ari,
24:28I sort of feel like Doug was trying to protect us.
24:32I mean, I don't know about you,
24:33but he's been pushing me away recently.
24:35And it makes sense by now.
24:39Yeah, same here.
24:42In fact, just the other day, he...
24:43He said that I should stay away
24:47because he owed someone money,
24:48and stupid me,
24:50I insisted that it was fine
24:52and I'm a big girl
24:53and I can take care of myself,
24:54which...
24:55clearly, I guess I was wrong.
24:57So the loan shark told you
25:02if you don't come up with the money by today,
25:04then what?
25:05He threatened to hurt Holly and Ari.
25:08Doug, why didn't you call the cops?
25:10They warned me not to.
25:12Wait, wait.
25:13Okay, uh...
25:15We could call Ari's uncle,
25:17Ray Fernandez.
25:18He's FBI.
25:19He's not technically the police.
25:20Maybe he can...
25:21I think they're pretty much the same thing.
25:24Anyway, it's too risky
25:25to get anyone else involved.
25:26These guys are really dangerous.
25:28God, man.
25:29Holly and Ari must be terrified right now.
25:32Look, short of robbing a bank,
25:34I have done everything I can
25:35to get this money.
25:36I have begged.
25:37I have borrowed.
25:38Hell, I almost committed petty theft.
25:41I was so desperate.
25:42I snuck downstairs last night
25:43to take money out of the cash register.
25:45But Roman emptied the till.
25:48Why didn't you just ask me?
25:50Because you're a trust fund baby,
25:52so you have to ask your dad,
25:54and I couldn't risk that.
25:55I have my own savings account,
25:57you idiot.
25:59I've been saving up to buy a car.
26:01I probably have enough money.
26:02How much do you need?
26:04Are you serious?
26:06You'd help me?
26:06No, I'm not helping you.
26:09I'm helping Holly and Ari.
26:11I'll do whatever it takes
26:12to get them home safely.
26:24As you can all see,
26:26I have this bundle of joy here
26:27who very much needs
26:28my undivided time and attention.
26:30Oh, you didn't indicate
26:32any child care responsibilities
26:33on your jury form.
26:34Well, he's a recent development.
26:37And as I understand it, Mr. Stark,
26:39you have four adults
26:41of sound body and mind
26:43living in your home.
26:44Are you saying that none of them
26:45are capable of watching the baby
26:46while you're here?
26:48Well...
26:49May I remind you,
26:50you are under oath.
26:52Fine.
26:53Suppose that's true.
26:54But keep in mind,
26:56I am a journalist,
26:57which means everything
26:58that happens in this courtroom
26:59is going to be fodder
27:00for public consumption.
27:02As a member of the jury,
27:03you would be prohibited
27:04from speaking and writing
27:06about the case
27:06under penalty of law.
27:08What?
27:09That's crazy.
27:10What about freedom of the press?
27:12How am I ever going to win
27:13my Pulitzer
27:14and subsequently hobnob
27:15with the New York literati?
27:16I think a more pertinent question is,
27:18have you been influenced
27:19by anything you've read
27:21or reported?
27:21As in,
27:22do you have any preconceived notions
27:23about the defendant's guilt?
27:25Well, no.
27:28As a matter of fact,
27:29I think there are any number
27:30of people who could have shot you.
27:32And can you be fair
27:34and impartial
27:35and base your verdict solely
27:36on the testimony you hear
27:38in this courtroom?
27:40Yes.
27:41I'm very open-minded.
27:42Once I dated a guy
27:44who wore a fedora jockstrap.
27:46Can't count...
27:46Mr. Stock is acceptable
27:48to the defense.
27:49I have no objection.
27:50Whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:50No, no, no.
27:50Wait.
27:51Welcome to the jury, Mr. Stock.
27:57Even if Doug was trying
27:58to protect us,
27:59Holly, he is still
28:00a total jerk
28:01for not telling me
28:02about what was going on
28:03between you two.
28:03Girl, seriously,
28:04there was nothing to tell.
28:05Like, we didn't hook up.
28:06Still, he knew
28:08that you and I were friends
28:09and he never mentioned
28:10hanging out with both of us.
28:11That is lying by omission.
28:13He was trying to keep
28:13his options open.
28:14Okay, yeah.
28:15Yeah, I guess you're right.
28:17Whatever, I'm just grateful
28:18I'm back together, Tate.
28:19Except now I'm worried
28:20he thinks I stood up.
28:21Like, he must think that, right?
28:25Holly, there are more important
28:27things to worry about right now.
28:29Like finding a way out of here
28:30so we don't get killed.
28:32What?
28:33You owe them how much?
28:35How the hell did you
28:36rack up so much debt?
28:38How do you think?
28:39They're loan sharks.
28:40They're trying to bleed me dry.
28:42So do you really have enough?
28:44Yeah, I do.
28:47I'm gonna go to the bank.
28:49I'll get the cash.
28:51Meet back here in an hour.
28:52In the meantime,
28:53set up a meeting.
28:54You tell the guys
28:55if they lay a finger
28:56on Holly or Ari
28:56the deal's off.
28:58Tate, I don't know
29:00how to thank you.
29:01You can thank me
29:02by packing a bag
29:04and getting the hell
29:04out of Salem.
29:05I don't want you
29:06ever going near
29:07Holly or Ari
29:08ever again.
29:10Done.
29:11I'll do anything
29:12to get out of this mess.
29:16I must say,
29:17not a bad start
29:18to jury selection.
29:19Yeah,
29:20it is going reasonably well.
29:21Mm-hmm.
29:22Except this trial
29:23shouldn't be happening.
29:24Why the police
29:25didn't slap the cuffs
29:25on Chanel
29:26after viewing that video
29:27was beyond me.
29:28Well,
29:29it's all they have on her.
29:31It's not exactly
29:31a smoking gun.
29:33Like they have
29:33much more on Johnny.
29:35It's clear that
29:36the Salem PD
29:36has simply given up
29:37on finding the true culprit.
29:39And you think
29:40that's Chanel?
29:41I haven't ruled it out.
29:44It's just
29:45so frustrating
29:46because the answers
29:48they're all in here.
29:52The key to exonerating
29:53my son
29:53is simply recording
29:54what happened that night.
29:58Quite honestly, E.J.,
30:05I am a little surprised.
30:09Surprised?
30:10Mm.
30:10That you haven't told
30:11the police
30:12that you remember
30:12who shot you,
30:14even if you don't.
30:16Well,
30:17the thought has
30:18crossed my mind.
30:20But I know firsthand
30:22what it's like
30:22to be wrongly accused.
30:24Oh.
30:25So you have sympathy
30:26for the wrongfully accused.
30:28Do you?
30:29Or is it that
30:30when the truth comes out,
30:31as it tends to,
30:32it would make you look bad?
30:37Aren't they both good reasons?
30:40You know, E.J.,
30:41I actually...
30:43I have an idea
30:44that might help you
30:45unlock the memories
30:46of that night.
30:47Hey, you've reached Ari.
30:52Leave a message.
30:55Sweetheart,
30:56the minute you get this,
30:57please call me back.
30:58I just want to know
30:59that you're okay.
31:00I love you.
31:04You are not
31:06going to believe this.
31:07And in case you're wondering,
31:08no,
31:09I did not win
31:09ABBA tickets.
31:10It's something
31:10way less fun than that.
31:11In fact,
31:12it's a nightmare.
31:13I got selected
31:13for jury duty.
31:15So what?
31:16So what?
31:18This is not
31:18some trial
31:19about a cyclist
31:20who got grazed
31:20by a beat-up hatchback.
31:21This is the
31:22Johnny DeMira
31:23trial of the century
31:24to determine
31:25whether or not
31:25he shot his own father.
31:27So then,
31:28why is this bad?
31:29Are you, like,
31:30obsessed with the case?
31:31Well, yeah,
31:32but I wanted to solve it
31:33as a journalist,
31:34not a juror.
31:35Now I can't even
31:36gossip about it,
31:37which is going to be
31:38tantamount to torture.
31:39Well, tough break.
31:40Wait a minute.
31:42I'm not through yet.
31:43I have one card
31:44left to play.
31:53Melinda,
31:54what is taking so long?
31:55I thought you'd be back
31:56with the food by now.
31:59Okay.
32:00It's just that
32:01my mom just called
32:03and I told her
32:05that I was in Chicago.
32:08Yeah, yeah,
32:09she totally flipped out.
32:10No, no,
32:13I stuck to the cover story,
32:14but
32:14I, honestly,
32:17I'm kind of
32:17freaking out right now.
32:19Like,
32:19this plan is so risky.
32:23Do you really think
32:24that we're going to be
32:24able to pull it off?
32:29Oh, Kate!
32:31What?
32:32Mrs. Choi, hi.
32:33Have you heard from Sophia?
32:34No.
32:35No, I haven't.
32:35Why?
32:36Well, I just spoke to her
32:37and she says she's in Chicago
32:38meeting with a couple
32:38who'd like to adopt the baby.
32:40What?
32:41What are you talking?
32:41What?
32:42No.
32:43No, she didn't tell me.
32:45Why wouldn't she tell me?
32:46Probably because you were
32:47too busy partying it up
32:48with your friends at the lake.
32:49All right, first of all,
32:50no, Sophia knew
32:51that I was going to the lake,
32:52but also she knew
32:54that I would have wanted
32:54to be at that meeting.
32:56Well, there might still be time.
32:57My daughter didn't tell me
32:59her exact location.
33:00Actually, maybe you can help.
33:02Okay, I would,
33:03but I can't.
33:04But, what?
33:04I cannot.
33:05I cannot.
33:05I'm sorry.
33:06I have this urgent matter.
33:07I have a friend who's in trouble.
33:08Like, I have to go.
33:09Hey, what about your baby?
33:12Mrs. Choi,
33:12I care very much
33:14about this baby
33:15and I care a lot
33:15about your daughter,
33:16but it's not like
33:17she's given birth yet,
33:18so I'm sorry.
33:19I have to go.
33:20I'll help you sort this out
33:21at a later date.
33:22I will.
33:22But...
33:23I'm sorry.
33:23I'm sorry.
33:24I just...
33:24I have to go.
33:25I'm sorry.
33:53Well, did you find her?
33:57No, not yet.
33:59But I do have news.
34:00What?
34:01What is it?
34:02Holly's car
34:03is still in the parking lot
34:04by the square
34:05and the girl's bags
34:07are in the trunk, too.
34:09Seems they never left Salem.
34:10What?
34:12Oh, my God.
34:13Where the hell are they?
34:15Where is my daughter?
34:16Oh, my God.
34:20Listen, we cannot just wait around
34:22for Doug to come up with the money
34:23or for families
34:24to come and rescue us.
34:26Yeah, you're right.
34:27Something could definitely go wrong
34:28and, you know what,
34:29we're going to be the ones
34:29to pay the price.
34:30But what are we going to do?
34:33I mean,
34:33screaming did nothing.
34:34There's no windows in here,
34:35not even in the bathroom,
34:36so obviously I can't escape that way.
34:37I can't give up, Holly.
34:39We can't just wait here
34:40for somebody to save us.
34:42We have to somehow
34:43find a way out of here.
34:44Now.
