The Run of His Life

"The Run of His Life" is the second episode of American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson. It was written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. It aired on February 9, 2016.

In a press conference, DA Gil Garcetti issues a statewide manhunt for the missing Simpson. Shapiro and Kardashian fear the worst when they discover Simpson's suicide letter. Shapiro holds a press conference of his own to save face, and Kardashian reads the suicide letter to the media. A driver on the LA freeway I-405 sees Simpson in the white Bronco and calls the police, which leads in to the infamous, media headlining, low speed chase. The suicidal Simpson has Cowlings drive him to Brentwood, at first refuses to get out the car, and comes close to killing himself then and there. Kardashian pleads with Simpson over the phone to peacefully surrender, and Simpson complies. Simpson is then charged with the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, and is taken into custody.
