Sir, I need you to put your hands up

where I can see them.

Joel freakin' Hurley, here in Salt Lake, Utah.

Never thought I'd see you here again.

You'll go on the record saying that you were with Joel

from ten o'clock New Year's Eve?

I picked him up at midnight.

I'm trying to figure out why he would lie about who he was with.

I told them the truth about that night.

That you and I were not at the movies.

They found a body.

I need you guys off the property now.

This is about me, trying to do my job.

Don't make me an idiot for going to bat for you.

Jaycee said you owed her money.

I thought you said you could not get anybody to talk to you?

Why did you come back here?

Don't you talk to me that way!

It's just really important

that the truth was out there.

The T-shirt was found with the body.

And there's bleach, which means there was an attempt at a cover-up,

along with blood and paint.

Maybe to wipe it off the wall?

Yeah, until they realized it was futile.

Then they just threw it in that tarp

that we found the body rolled up in.

And what about the blood on it?

Yeah, I think it's hers. We're gonna run tests.

We're gonna do a full DNA spectrum on the shirt.

And there's this.

I have no idea what it is.

It was found jammed into a fold of skin in the lower abdomen.

Secondary murder weapon?

Nah, it was just... it's thin plastic.

Um, it could've been used

to jam the body down in the hole we found it in,

or it could be nothing.

- Did you photograph these? - Yeah, I'll email them to you.

- Thank you. - All right.

You know, if you want my opinion,

I think this whole thing started out as an accident.

Yeah.

A fall... that's an accident...

a punch... less of an accident...

and then there is what I would like to call

a whole list of unprofessional concussive events.

I'm sorry, unprofessional?

Oh, yeah.

Smack here, failed choking attempt.

Oh, and then a more final, more conclusive concussive event

to the left side of the face and head.

Indicating a right-handed person, right?

Yeah, between 180 and 220.

It's always amazing to me how you can figure that out.

And an existentialist and a Gemini.

- Sorry, what? - I just made that up.

Mike.

What the eff?

What, you didn't hear?

No.

20 minutes ago,

this guy comes completely out of the woodwork.

Says he used to be partners with Eric Neill.

Oh, yeah, tied him to a whole bunch of cases in the past.

Like grifter stuff.

Yeah, there was, like, a retarded girl with a huge trust fund.

Same MO as the Olivia Lake murder case.

This is bull.

Oh, no, no, he had some good stories.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's bull that this is happening now.

Nothing just comes out of the blue.

- Nate? Hey, Natey. - Hi. Hon, this is not a good time.

There's something I wanna talk to you about.

I've been thinking...

Seriously, they just dragged someone

out of the woodwork for me to deal with now.

- Nate. - What?

That's what this is about.

I saw it. Someone is playing dirty.

I know, I know.

Someone wants me off the Joel trail

and back onto the Eric trail...

Okay, well, this is my thought.

If you wanted, do the same.

What?

Leak something, chum the waters.

- No! - See what Joel does.

I'm never gonna do that!

That is...

it's unethical.

It's dishonest and it's bad police work.

Unless it proves you're right.

Then behind every door upstairs they're gonna be calling you a genius.

No, sorry, that's not gonna happen.

Let them bang pans and flash lights all over Eric.

Thank you for the suggestion, which I'm very surprised at,

but I'm not gonna do that.

I love you, but I'm not gonna do that.

- Excuse me. - Okay.

Oh, there he is!

Detective Henry, your thoughts on Casey Delacroix.

Who is he and why is this coming out now?

I have no comment on an ongoing investigation.

Excuse me. So it is an investigation?

- No. - Has it been reopened?

- Pete. - Does Casey Delacroix raise doubts

or confirm your feelings about Eric Neill?

Pete, nothing has changed.

In fact, I ask all of you

to respect the memory of the victim, Olivia Lake.

Detective, you were part of the investigation four years ago.

Are you reopening this case?

Let me restate, I am not reopening the case.

We're hearing that Eric Neill has

a similar criminal history to that of the case of Olivia Lake.

Eric Neill's previous record has nothing to do with the current situation.

What's your plan now going forward? Guys, come on!

The story is not about me.

In fact, there is no story.

- I have nothing to say. - Has the body...

This is not about me, guys.

Come on. Come on, guys!

Come on, Pete, seriously!

You know me. You know that I don't talk to the press,

even when there is something to say.

I have no comment. Please. Thank you.

I'll run you over.

Detective!

But when you are through up on the hill,

call me, period.

I have a question about Alan, period.

Won't take long, period.

Hey, Joel. Just checking in.

Give a call when you... can.

- Hello? - To accept a collect call

from the Utah Department of Corrections,

please press 1.

To know...

- Hello? - Pet, it's bullshit. Somebody's paying him to talk.

I know him. He wouldn't talk unless someone was paying him.

- Are you there? Petra? - What's going on?

Okay, him and me worked together, but only a few times.

He doesn't know me,

and nothing he's saying can be trusted.

Who is Eloise Brand?

This trust fund girl Casey knew

from some boarding school where he worked.

It was 12 years ago,

and she was totally messed up and...

She fell in love with you, she put you into her will,

and then she died like Olivia.

No, not like Olivia,

and not till six months after, and she OD'd.

And not only did nobody press charges, there never were charges,

'cause nobody ever even once suspected me of anything ever.

Why am I finding out now?

- 'Cause I didn't think it was anything. - Eric.

I didn't wanna lose you, Pet. You're all I have.

You're the only one who's ever believed me,

believed in me.

What else don't I know?

I promise that is all.

That's all you and Casey did?

That, which had no charges, and Olivia.

And one other time

a couple years before Olivia,

we had an idea to convince all these Summit people

to fund this bullshit dig for silver.

Anyways, long story, but we made a run at a few people

and none of them bought.

Wait, you were in Summit before?

Yes, just to talk to some people,

but it went nowhere.

- Which people? - I don't know.

A few down the hill, a few up the hill.

The O'Connors?

They were one, yes. Why?

Why? Pet, you there? Why do you ask?

Is that how you met Olivia?

I met Olivia through an incoming call a year later.

- From? - An attorney named Cliff Jones.

Cliff Jones? Who the fuck is Cliff Jones?

He represented some rich European lady

who wanted to buy Olivia's land,

but Olivia wouldn't sell it.

Okay, why?

I don't know, she was attached to it.

No, why did he call you?

No idea.

You have no idea why of all people he called you?

I didn't ask.

But you told your lawyer about Cliff Jones?

Of course I did.

She said he didn't exist.

And anyways, that doesn't matter for this.

What matters for this is whoever is paying Casey

wants me to stay in here.

And if you find who's paying Casey,
