"Previously on "How to Get Away with Murder"..." "What's the deal with your father?" "He is not a good person." "Oliver." "I think we should break up." "besides Wes' little lady?" "Hi." "Want to go finally meet your dad?" "I think I'm your son." "Why would you think that?" "You think it's Frank putting them up?" "No." "I found him." "What do you want to do?" "Hang up the phone!" "You okay?" "Yeah." "I live here!" "Please!" "Who is it?" "Tell me!" "Mumford:" "You're in shock right now." "I understand that." "we do need to get as much information from you right now as possible." "Can you tell us where you were before?" "Ms. Keating." "Ms. Keating." "The clinic." "I had to pick up some work." "Did anyone else see you there?" "Someone who can vouch for your whereabouts?" "You're joking. hold on." "No one's saying anything like that." "be a monster." "That's fine. your neighbors saw your car in the driveway all day." "You want to arrest me for burning down my house?" "Then do it!" "Cuff me right here!" "Arrest me!" "Arrest me!" "arrest me!" "♪♪" "No!" "Nate:" "What kind of dreams were you having?" "talking gibberish." "Annalise." "Hmm?" "Was it a sex dream?" "Is that why you don't want to tell me about it?" "You had another guy up in this bed?" "Who says it was a guy?" "no." "No way I'm letting you leave me high and dry." "No way I'm letting you leave me high and dry." "Mm." "Go shower." "Or else you're gonna be late for work." "Man:" "I didn't..." "I didn't have a choice." "He's dead." "Frank:" "Get off me!" "Get off me!" "♪♪" "Annalise." "Nate:" "I got an idea." "Get in the shower." "It's big enough for both of us." "♪♪" "Candice:" "Hello?" "This is Annalise." "this is Candice from President Hargrove's office." "She was hoping you had time to stop by today." "We just wanted to let you know that we'd launched a priority investigation that we'd launched a priority investigation into who posted the fliers. as well as having them review our active-shooter drills with all of our employees." "This is all standard stuff." "We're not concerned." "I wasn't concerned till you started telling me how not concerned you were." "We just wanted you to know we're on it." "It's probably just some student blowing off steam." "Most likely." "one sec." "Safe space" used to mean you could express your feelings." "Now I have to take it literally." "It's fine." "It's just H. R. Covering their asses." "If you only knew." "How's the clinic going?" "Good." "Thanks again for making that work." "I should be thanking you for coming up with such a great idea." "♪♪" "Wes:" "Hey!" "Wes:" "Hey!" "Were you meeting with the President?" "you just walked out of her office." "Oh." "Is it about the fliers?" "that's all over." "You still got that god-awful apartment?" "Yeah." "come stay with me." "What are you talking about?" "I don't know." "You could save money for a little." "But it's weird." "for one." "my girlfriend." "I told you about her." "I didn't know that was still a thing." "I didn't know that was still a thing." "forget I said anything." "Go study." "No one ever became a good lawyer hanging out in the quad." "♪♪" "What's all this?" "I'm reorganizing because your stupid clinic means Annalise can't take real cases anymore." "It's not my clinic. are they to keep out anyone in particular?" "Laurel?" "I just came to say hi." "Is there any news on the Mahoney case." "We don't care about that case." "But the cops haven't arrested anyone yet." "Wes could still be a suspect." "He's not." "How do you know that?" "Because Eve is on it." "so just relax." "Wes is not a suspect." "Wes is not a suspect." "Is Frank?" "Laurel." "You would tell me if you'd heard from him so that at least I'd know he's not dead." "Maybe he is." "Don't say that." "Annalise:" "What are you girls gossiping about?" "I just came to say hi to Bonnie." "Why does everyone think that's so weird?" "♪♪" "♪♪" "♪♪" "Oliver:" "Are you sure it's not weird?" "I've never seen you wear a suit to class before." "That's because I don't look as dashing as you when I wear one." "what do you think about this apartment?" "I never said you had to rush to move out." "you just dumped me." "Don't say it like that." "What?" "You didn't dump me?" "I just don't like that saying." "Imagine how much you'd like being dumped then." "I shouldn't be late for my first day." "or..." "Um... you know what?" "Um... you know what?" "I would actually feel more comfortable if we went separately." "Oh." "Okay." "do you want me to go first?" "I'm kidding." "Come on." "Michaela:" "What did you do?" "Asher:" "For real." "Do not tell me that you cheated on my boy." "it was his decision." "Apparently he's been thinking about it all summer." "You don't think there's something else going on?" "you think my boy cheated on you?" "Have any of you seen these articles?" "They're all about the fliers." "down we go." "We're ignoring that right now." "Oliver dumped Connor." "Why?" "!" "Why?" "!" "you cheated on him." "you cheated on him. and clearly I'll be changing his mind by the end of the week." "the girl's cocky." "you'd understand if you gave me a go at that ass." "sorry." "This ass is taken." "who is this weirdo? but she's stacked." "she's up top and bottom." "unh!" "Okay." "Am I the only one who cares about this?" "I think it's good." "Journalists might be able to figure out who's putting the fliers up." "You ever think Annalise just put them up herself?" "And why would she do that?" "to play the victim." "to play the victim." "that's ridiculous." "Is it?" "Annalise:" "Take a seat." "Court's assigned us a new client. convicted of murdering her husband Rodney when she was 31 years old." "The weapon... a claw hammer. punched in on time for her shift at the factory." "that's terrible." "Why are you here?" "Um..." "You said I should come introduce myself." "You said I should come introduce myself." "this is Mr. Hampton." "I've hired him as the clinic's technology expert." "so use him as you wish." "As long as it's legal." "my desk is down the hall in the..." "Mr. Hampton." "Okay." "Irene is 63 years old." "She's served 32 years in prison and has been denied parole six times." "we're gonna fight like hell to get her free." "Why?" "Why?" "Irene was physically and sexually abused by her husband throughout their 10-year marriage. which left her without a defense." "Michaela:" "Domestic-abuse victims so we need to create a narrative for the parole board that highlights the psychological trauma that led to your... episode with your husband." "That was no episode." "You're right." "Bad word choice." "Call it what you want." "I call it my finest hour." "I call it my finest hour." "Each of you will be given one minute to present a parole strategy to Irene." "Laurel:" "The key here is to focus on the kind of childhood you had before you met Rodney." "I had a normal childhood." "Really?" "Your file says that you grew up in a group home with rough conditions." "Rougher than yours." "I'm sorry?" "Those teeth tell me you came from money." "Who's next?" "there's several arguments that will sway the parole board." "does Irene pose a danger?" "Wes:" "We'll stress your exemplary prison record." "Wes:" "We'll stress your exemplary prison record." "bible study?" "I only went to those meetings because my cellmate kept crapping her bunk." "Number two..." "You have to prove that she is remorseful for her crime." "Connor:" "Are you sorry?" "Because you declined the chance to apologize to your husband's family." "Dead husband's family." "you don't seem remorseful. no parole board's going to release you." "Great." "So can I go now?" "the parole board consists of three old white men." "How do I know that? typically from law-enforcement backgrounds." "Asher:" "Do you know why you should pick me?" "'Cause I'm white." "Just like the guys who are deciding your fate." "Do I think that's cool?" "No." "But I do think it's smart." "right?" "Did I say something funny?" "You remind me of my husband." "Connor:" "I was brilliant." "I made her feel like there was no chance in hell that she would win." "Score." "One less white guy to compete with." "genius." "He knows it's a loser." "We have a winner." "Irene was very clear on who she connected with." "Mr. Walsh." "♪♪" "Wes:" "Hey." "Wes." "Are you worried Frank's behind the fliers?" "That's why you asked me to move in." "No." "Then why did you ask me that?" "Because I'm an idiot." "Forget I brought it up." "You're worried about me." "You think that Frank or worse." "or worse." "God's honest?" "I'm lonely." "That's why I asked you to move in with me." "Tired of eating alone." "I don't believe you." "I can't make you." "so... you're early." "Not that I'm complaining." "♪♪" "♪♪" "Nate." "I need you to help me find Frank." "♪♪" "do something." "Why?" "I just have a feeling." "You just have a feeling?" "You want me to show you his file?" "Sam was his doctor in prison." "You never told me that." "I didn't think it mattered anymore." "But you think he's dangerous?" "He has the potential to be." "And you've been okay with that?" "I never asked Frank to do anything violent for me." "To do anything violent for me." "You just had him set me up for Sam's murder." "Who is it?" "Man:" "Thai food delivery." "Okay." "I'll help you find him." "Have you seen this?" "There is an article on Annalise in almost every single paper." "I guess." "What?" "This is a big deal." "Is it?" "Yes." "Whoever's putting these up could be crazy or dangerous or..." "Could be crazy or dangerous or..." "Or just really bored." "Just think about what's happening here." "Annalise is one of 10 women probably white troll out to destroy her career." "Her career's doing fine." "For now. and you're not even gonna touch it?" "You didn't make anything." "And it's the same color as my cadaver's esophageal sphincter." "Close your eyes." "Close your eyes." "Now open your mouth." "my God." "Trust me." "here's the game plan for Irene's case." "We're going to divide and conquer in teams." "We're going to divide and conquer in teams." "Sorry." "Seriously?" "bro." "Team one will be Michaela and Asher." "Look." "You think that I want to do this?" "No." "But it's our job." "You mean your job." "All of our jobs. if not zero." "You want to inspire your team here?" "Don't crap on a case just because you're feeling a little insecure." "Just because you're feeling a little insecure." "team one will find witnesses to testify to the abuse." "Michaela:" "All the neighbors are dead." "dead." "you know who's not dead little Asher when he's with you." "Not here." "Why?" "You embarrassed to be banging a white dude?" "Okay." "The fact that you in your seersucker ain't never seen a black girl naked until me just made this a race issue I don't even know where to start." "I just don't see the point" "I just don't see the point in keeping this a secret anymore. and... and... and..." "And Connor." "He just got dumped." "We have to be more sensitive." "you know who else we have to be sensitive to?" "Little Asher." "Help me find a stupid witness." "Our biggest hurdle is going to be the dead husband's sister..." "Amber." "She's shown up at every parole hearing to testify against Irene's release. so we'll use that to our advantage." "Amber:" "He was my brother." "There's no way in hell" "I'm helping that woman get out of jail." "I'm helping that woman get out of jail." "We're just suggesting you talk to her." "See the progress she's made since the last parole hearing." "She wants to apologize to you." "Do you think I want that?" "I'm the one who found Rodney's body." "I slipped in his blood." "I fell on him." "Screw forgiveness." "♪♪ is Irene's own testimony. you guys are gonna go down to the prison and talk to her..." "Annalise:" "Excuse me?" "Mr. Walsh." "Mr. Walsh." "I-I just thought she'd feel more comfortable talking to a woman about her abuse." "Then why send me?" "Unless I grew a vagina I don't know about." "Why don't you check?" "Go to the prison and do your job." "First they'll ask about your life before the crime." "But mostly you'll tell them about your life with your husband..." "The abuse that led up to the events of that night." "I don't remember anything from that night." "Nothing?" "Not a lick." "I think you're lying." "I think you're lying." "I think you do remember." "I..." "I don't blame you for not wanting to talk about it." "I wouldn't want to either." "But I read about what he did to you." "Reading about it's different than being there." "You want to know what's worse?" "The feeling I get during those hearings. only to tell me no again." "♪♪" "I'd rather get hit." "♪♪" "Laurel:" "Sam's sister." "Michaela:" "She was such a bitch." "Asher:" "Hannah Keating." "What about Nate?" "He could be playing a long con." "Mm." "Put him down." "Know what makes me sad?" "What are you guys doing?" "What are you guys doing?" "A. K.'s enemies list." "One of these peeps has got to be behind the fliers." "You realize the woman's gonna rot in prison right?" "We forgot about Meggy." "Oh." "Yes." "No." "You said you met her at a bookstore." "Don't you think that's a little bit suspicious?" "How is that suspicious?" "We should have Oliver hack her." "Connor:" "No." "I need him to work on my case." "Your case is a dud." "Deal with it." "Oliver." "I know you're bored." "You make that very clear with how loud you're stomping around with those boxes." "With how loud you're stomping around with those boxes." "This isn't about that." "It's Laurel." "She wasn't just here to say hi?" "No. and look." "She's been calling Frank." "I hate them." "Every single one of their bitch-ass lying faces." "Let me take care of it." "How?" "Don't worry." "I'll figure it out." "♪♪ can you tell us a bit about your relationship with your husband." "Let's start with how you met." "Irene:" "Picked me up in a bar." "I got knocked up." "we got married." "Can I ask what happened with the child?" "It was a girl." "She died inside of me." "I'm sorry to hear that." "It's not your fault." "I'd like to discuss the alleged abuse." "can we just back up for a second. yes?" "I never said that." "hospital records show that you had a broken wrist at the time so..." "Ms. Keating." "This is her time." "Don't speak for her." "My apologies. you never officially stated that your husband abused you." "Is that true?" "so..." "She never said anything because her lawyer advised her not to." "Quiet." "Because her lawyer advised her not to." "Quiet." "Graves:" "I'm asking because it strikes me as a convenient parole strategy to invent claims of abuse now that the laws have changed in favor of the victim." "It wasn't my strategy." "are we or are we not to believe you were abused?" "You're gonna believe whatever you want no matter what I say. there are photos taken after one of Mr. Crowley's attacks that are evidence of the abuse." "Fine." "Let's say you were indeed abused." "The police report states that there was no imminent threat why did you kill him instead of just leaving him?" "That is the wrong question." "Quick recess." "You're asking my client what's wrong with her when you should be asking what was wrong with the man enough." "you're putting the burden on the victim!" "you need to rein it in. and I won't allow it! and I think we need to finally listen to her." "♪♪" "I blew it." "Calm down." "I can admit to ineffective assistance of counsel." "That is not what happened." "It's not her fault that I can't keep my mouth shut." "okay?" "Breathe." "That was just the first session." "We can still fix this." "I'm just gonna screw it up." "You should fire me. and she hasn't done that yet. the only man that's not gonna disappoint her." "I'll be right back." "you have to help me prepare." "I'm just stepping outside." "Call the others." "I'm just stepping outside." "Call the others." "♪♪" "ignore it." "Like you have to tell me." "I don't..." "I don't think they'd be mad." "Who?" "Connor." "I-I-I think he'd be happy for us." "And..." "And I could talk to Bonnie." "hiding is what messed her and me up so... you are forcing me to say these things." "You are forcing me to say these things." "What things?" "We're not a couple." "We're never gonna be a couple." "Why not?" "I can't be in a relationship with somebody who is literally the opposite of everything I stand for." "I'm a cooler guy than I used to be." "You..." "you have to admit that." "I-I-I'm learning..." "And I am not your teacher." "I don't have time so either accept the fact or we can end this." "♪♪" "I'll go." "no." "♪♪" "♪♪" "How about I give you another double?" "♪ I gotta let you go ♪" "Wichita?" "As in Kansas?" "He's been checking his voicemail on a computer." "The I. P. address is in Wichita." "And that was today?" "An hour ago." "I'll keep track and make sure he doesn't drive back here." "Thank you." "I need to get back." "You're done with me?" "I have a client that needs me." "What about my needs?" "♪♪" "What are you doing?" "Laurel." "I was just checking to see if they had a suspect yet." "Why?" "Because I don't want it to be you." "okay? and the cops know who you are." "What does Eve have to do with it?" "She's watching the case for Annalise." "She's watching the case for Annalise." "We're not doing this anymore." "Creating problems where there are none." "Laurel." "Trying to be. so please just..." "let me." "I'm sorry." "too." "Oliver did a whole search on her and she's a Girl Scout." "Worst thing she's ever done is protest a marine park." "Worst thing she's ever done is protest a marine park." "I knew that." "You looked into her?" "I'm not an idiot." "Connor:" "Here's what you need to say." "He was about to hit you." "I'm just... all right?" "You're doing a bad job." "Listen to me!" "just... all right?" "They need to hear it straight from you..." "Some explanation of why you killed him in that moment." "It doesn't matter how ugly you think it is" "It doesn't matter how ugly you think it is or how bad you think it makes you look." "Your only chance of getting out is you talk." "I did what you did." "Killed a guy. but I did it." "And I got away with it." "I've..." "I've never told anyone." "it's... it's messed a lot of stuff up for me. and it pushes them away." "That's what's happening in that room." "every guy on that board and it makes them not trust you." "But you can't afford that. and the only way that happens is you finally talk." "What'd you say to her?" "I just gave her a pep talk." "you opened your fat mouth." "I suffer every day to keep you people safe. it's all on the line because of you." "So no more screwing with my life understood?" "Let's hope to God this works." "You hear if Connor finally lost his case?" "I don't know." "It's not like anyone ever tells the meat stick anything anyways." "I knew you were gonna be a baby about this." "Stacy and Nicole said that you were the one being a baby." "my God." "You talked about me to those freshmen?" "okay?" ""we're too different" crap is actually a cover for the fact that you know that we're the same." "a lot of ways. and so do I." "Michaela." "okay?" "I know you came here right?" "right?" "The better version." "You know what? which makes us the same." "But you can't see that because you're holding on to this old idea and..." "I'm more than a meat stick." "take us through the weeks leading up to the day of your husband's murder." "Ms. Crowley." "let's move on to your time in prison..." "We had no doors in the house." "No one ever asked me why Rodney did that." "Took doors off hinges so I wouldn't be able to hide. stuck my head in the toilet." "I almost drowned in my own urine. a mop handle." "You want stories like that?" "I got them." "I can see that you want to know what I did with the hammer." "I planned it." "You were right about that." "I planned it." "You were right about that." "Not 'cause he was gonna beat me that day." "Because he was gonna beat me for the rest of my life. feeling broken bones before they even happen..." "I made a decision. and I hit him over and over again until I saw brains." "Until I saw brains." "And still I didn't feel... that that made up for all the times that he hit me." "So I hit him some more." "♪♪ that I regret my actions." "But I don't." "How can I when it's the one decision that finally set me free?" "you could win?" "I-I didn't..." "I didn't say that. which is a victory in itself. and..." "I don't know." "so... and am I not supposed to be trying to make you feel better here?" "Trying to make you feel better here?" "I'll feel better if Irene gets out." "I just need you to distract me right now." "Okay." "Did I... did I ever tell you about the time my mom caught me wearing her lingerie?" "Irene stays in jail if you say what I think you're gonna say in there." "Shouldn't she?" "Shouldn't she?" "right?" "I read that in the reports." "too." "look me in my eye and say that." "He wasn't a good man." "No one is claiming that." "But he also didn't deserve to die that way. when he was hitting you." "And yet I never took a hammer to his skull." "Because you didn't have to." "Because you didn't have to." "You got out." "And then Irene took your place." "I can't do it." "I can't go in there and say nice things about her." "I know." "But that's not what I'm asking you to do." "♪♪" "Is something wrong?" "We'll know soon enough." "We'll know soon enough." "Man:" "it seems the victim's witness has decided to forego making a statement here today." "This board therefore needs no further deliberation. and studies about the impact of domestic abuse." "And studies about the impact of domestic abuse. was another main factor in our decision." "Ms. Crowley... we've decided to grant your application for parole." "We order for your immediate release." "Oh." "it's real." "You're getting out." "You won." "Oh." "You won." "Oh." "Thank you." "Oh." "♪♪" "Man:" "It was our hope but it seems to be metastasizing. and the President has started to receive calls from several alumni and donors." "The situation's become a university problem. effective immediately. and the integrity of the university is no longer compromised." "I'm sorry that we need to take this step" "Annalise." "But we hope it's temporary." "But we hope it's temporary." "No." "I was the victim here." "potentially dangerous individual and your solution is to suspend me?" "No." "we are contractually within our rights." "You're worried about bad press?" "Try the headline not to mention a multi-million-dollar lawsuit" "I'll file." "I bet you'll get calls from the donors then." "I bet you'll get calls from the donors then." "please." "No one here wants to escalate the situation." "Lock me out of my classroom!" "I dare you." "But you can't keep me from teaching my students." "♪♪" "Oliver:" "There he is." "Young lawyer home after winning his very first case." "Not a big deal. but I can tell you care." "grab a bottle of champagne in the fridge." "We'll celebrate." "What... what's wrong?" "Are you mad?" "I'm just confused." "Oli." "And I need you right now more than you know." "I'll..." "I'll do it. and I know that I can." "just let me." "just let me." "I'm sorry." "I..." "I just need to be alone right now." "What about what I need." "That's the point." "I only ever do what other people want." "I'm doing this for me." "I'm doing this for me." "if... then you'll let me go." "Okay?" "Just..." "Let me go." "♪♪" "Uh..." "I'll..." "I'll pack." "no." "so... so... ♪♪" "♪♪" "I win." "Again." "Drink." "Laurel:" "I can't." "I said drink." "Okay." "I'm surprised Frank didn't teach you better." "We never really played pool." "'Cause you were too busy boning all the time?" "No." "Well..." "I have a question." "I have a question." "Did you two ever hook up?" "No." "Would you be jealous if we did?" "No." "What if I told you I was talking to him every day?" "Are you?" "Are you?" "I've been leaving him voicemails. so I assume he's listening to them." "So I assume he's listening to them." "You have to stop calling him." "Because if Annalise knew..." "She'd kill me." "I know." "I was never really sure if I actually loved him." "But now that he's gone..." "I did." "You only think that because you don't know him." "I know about Lila." "Laurel." "Laurel." "and that's a good thing." "But I know that and Frank knows that." "We've seen things you don't want to see." "And kill the fantasy of Frank in your head." "I don't understand." "You lost him?" "The I. P. address in Wichita was fake." "He's using a private network to bounce the signal all over the country." "Kansas." "Kansas." "he could be anywhere." "Philly." "Yeah." "♪♪" "I'm gonna stay at your house till we find him." "I don't need a bodyguard." "You got one now." "I'll be over after my shift." "Okay." "♪♪" "♪ The dawn ahead on the floor ♪" "♪ The dawn ahead on the floor ♪" "What's wrong?"
