How to Get Away with Murder

Previously on "how to get away with murder"... I want you to kill me.

I'm not the woman you think I am.

I gave Nia those pills because I loved her.

I framed him.

Because you killed Sam?

Because I'm protecting the person who did.

So, I did something bad.

What did you do?

I kept searching for the secret baby

Even though you told me not to.

His name's Philip Jessup.

Emily Sinclair got the D.A. To open an investigation on me.

We're done, Ash.

Girl to girl, I thought you should know

The real about your boyfriend.

In case he hasn't told you about Tiffany Howard.

Tiffany was gang raped.

Connor!

If you don't want to come, then don't.

Okay, but just think for a second.

No more excuses. We know better this time.

Wait.

What do we do?

Stop them.

Relax. I left the gun in your house this time.

Have some balls, Mr. Lecht.

Your client's going down for murder

Unless you can find someone else to pin it on.

For our case, it's mother Teresa.

So, how are you gonna turn her into a killer?

Well, normally, you'd start by mining

The suspect's personality traits.

Such as...

Uh --

I don't know.

She's kind of the most selfless person who ever lived.

Well, use that.

She has an inflated sense of self-worth, thinks she's god.

What else?

Is she a egomaniac, a secret abuser of children, a...

Sad loner.

Philip only has four friends on his profile,

And they're all from his gaming community,

And look --

He's alone in almost all his pictures,

No family, friends.

May be a loner, but he's got some bomb-ass game controllers.

We can argue that he's got antisocial personality disorder,

That he's prone to violence, homicidal tendencies...

Charity work -- uh, most of it focused on hospice care, so...

I don't know how that could tie into her motive.

I do.

Maybe she killed for love or...

Money.

Philip gets minimum wage at his grocery-store job,

Explaining why he'd be after the Hapstall fortune.

We need an emotional motive for the jury,

Can't just be financial.

He's got white man's rage.

Here he is poor and lonely, while two minorities

Live the wealthy life his blood entitles him to.

Did mother Teresa have the means to commit this murder?

Well, the victim was a small child, and...

Since mother Teresa often worked with poor children --

Poor, vulnerable children.

Philip lives within two miles of the Hapstall Mansion.

We just have to prove he was in town

The night of the murders.

You haven't figured that out yet?

We're working on it. Work faster.

Go through discovery. Study the crime scene.

Get me proof that Philip is a killer

So I can spring it on Sinclair before the trial.

What about Catherine and Caleb?

Um, should we tell them that we found him?

So they can confront him and do something stupid?

No. We say nothing until we know more.

Which means no pillow talk with your boyfriend.

Dr. Patterson, dial 2131.

Dr. Patterson, 2131.

There's this, too.

She made it for your birthday and asked me to hide it.

No, my wife did not make this.

She did.

Why doesn't it look like crap?

Well, I might've cleaned up the ends just a little bit.

Are you Nate Lahey?

Yeah. What do you need?

You've been served.

Sinclair's saying Nia's death was foul play.

She wants the judge to let her test Nia's blood.

Nia was cremated.

They took blood samples after she died

For some clinical trial.

So, those pills I got you --

I didn't give them to Nate.

You sure?

I got to know if I'm gonna protect us here.

If you want to protect us,

Kill Emily Sinclair.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

Did the two of you kill her together?

Ha. Great.

So now I'm gonna have to defend both of you.

I did it...On my own.

She called me first, asked me for pills.

Of course she did, because who doesn't ask

Their husband's mistress to off her?

Okay, that --

I'm very sorry for your loss, Nate. I am.

But what you did --

You knew Sinclair wanted to take you down.

She wanted to take me down, not him.

I'll fix it -- or try.

Nia was stage four?

For over a year.

That's our answer then --

Convince the judge Nia died of natural causes

And that Sinclair has some vendetta

Against the two of you.

But you are not allowed anywhere near this.

The fact that there's been any contact

Between the two of you since I left is crazy.

You both know it, so don't make me say it again.

We have to prep.

Don't worry. I got this.

Hey, you didn't call me back last night.

I fell asleep early.

Okay, but this thing with my dad has gotten worse.

They've removed him from the bench

Until the investigation's over.

Which is the least he deserves, don't you think?

I guess, but he's blaming me.

And you? Aren't you blaming you?

For what? What you and your friends did at Trotter lake.

What's Trotter lake?

It's rude to eavesdrop.

Hey, wait. Bonnie.

I'm meeting Annalise at court.

I know. Just...

Look, who told you?

I just confront you with the fact

That you and your friends gang raped a girl,

And your response is who told me?

No, I-I wasn't a part of that.

I-- it was my party, but I was downstairs.

They were upstair-- you could've stopped them.

N-- I-I was drunk.

What an original excuse.

Your client hacked into the Tidwells' cellphones

Then stole private texts of a sexual nature

Sent between a husband and his wife.

Allegedly stole.

He then printed and distributed them

To every member of their church congregation.

Allegedly -- you have no proof my client did this.

Right. There's just proof he did this.

Your client might've gotten away

With harassing Sharon's last two husbands,

But this time he went to far, to the point where Marco Tidwell

Felt his only escape was to do a swan dive

Off the 15th floor of the Eisenworth building.

No one can make someone commit suicide. I disagree.

Then let's go to trial. It starts in a few hours.

Five years. Six months, two years probation.

Four years minimum security.

Prussian blue.

You wore that same color

The first night of our honeymoon.

Two years, or we walk.

Did you wear that for me?

What do you say? Do we have a deal?

You did, didn't you?

Do not make the deal.

Sharon. Honey.

You're delusional, Dale.

A-and now you've killed the love of my life, so enough.

We're going to trial.

That woman doesn't love you, you hear me? Not one ounce.

Well, that's where we disagree.

Lunch?

Your trial is in four hours.

We don't have time to eat.

See if the judge will grant us a continuance.

I'll go now.

Then tell bixby to take the assault, or it's six to eight.

I'll call you back.

Nate lost his wife after watching her suffer for years.

Or he killed her so he could be with you.

Do I need to talk to your boss again?

I was told to back off of you, not Mr. Lahey.

It's just a simple blood test.

If he has nothing to hide, why object?

You're messing with the wrong bitch.

Is that a threat?

I guess you'll see.

You know, there are people on the other side of this door.

I thought getting caught was the fun part.

Are you getting soft on me?

No.
