How To Get Away With Murder (2014) s05e10 Episode Script
Don't Go Dark On Me
1 Previously on How to Get Away with Murder Mom? I know about your misconduct.
I can fix this for you.
You had Nate's dad killed.
No.
- Why aren't you with your boo? - He didn't come.
Just saw him outside with Nate.
Why'd you call the Warden that day? Own it! He murdered my pops.
Take his car and him and drive away.
Why do you look like someone just died? Gabriel is Sam's kid.
You're making him out to be some monster.
He hurt all of us.
I want to know how he died.
All Gabriel has to do is find new evidence.
He's here to take us down.
Please record your message.
I screwed up.
They found out who I am.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Can I have my ball back? - Do I know you? - You're going to help me with this.
Delete this e-mail.
Go upstairs to your wife and love her.
He never deserved you, Annalise.
Every single day is the chance for a new beginning, every morning an opportunity to be changed, different magnificent.
We all have the choice to stay mired in our own pain and mess, or we can try mending the broken pieces inside ourselves.
You here to make my face look like yours? Maybe.
Look, this wasn't about you, okay? This was about two consenting adults needing a connection Never talk to me about my mom again.
Is he in there? I don't know.
I haven't heard him all day.
Maybe he's already turned us in to the police.
It's not easy believing in ourselves.
I hear talking.
We all feel like there's some thing inside us that's missing, and if only we could find it, we'd finally feel whole.
We just can't do that until we learn to look inside ourselves.
Where's Connor? I need his help.
He went for a run to take his mind off the Gabriel stuff.
That's why I need him we're gonna burn Gabriel from our brains by writing up a wrongful death suit for Nate Senior.
Didn't Nate Junior ask you to stop interfering in his life? He'll forgive me once he sees that this is our last chance at justice.
Or you're just setting him up for more disappointment.
Hey.
You're supposed to be the hopeful one in this house.
Don't go dark on me.
But looking within is hard.
It means seeing not only the good parts of ourselves, but the bad.
What did you see, precioso? Mama.
It means recognizing our own weaknesses and flaws and wounds.
You've reached Bonnie Winterbottom.
Please leave a message.
Only then can we start to heal.
Annalise doesn't need us dumping another problem on her.
She also doesn't need to be blindsided again.
This is not her problem to fix.
Then at least tell me what you did with the body.
- Doesn't matter.
- It will when the cops find it and you two are thrown in jail.
- That's not gonna happen.
- Look at your hands.
You're gonna be the main suspect the second Miller's identified as missing.
This is my life, my mistake.
It wasn't a mistake.
This is Nate's call.
Fine.
But as soon as it's out that Miller's M.
I.
A.
, one of you is telling her.
Yeah.
We'll see.
What did we agree on? I'm calling Eve.
What the hell do you want? - Annalise? - Do I sound like Eve? Are you in San Fran? - No.
- Eve's here? Let me come over.
We'll figure out how to handle Gabriel.
I talked to him last night.
He's fine.
Annalise, what does that mean? Why don't you bring over your Gabriel file? Eve would like to say hi, too.
She's not happy.
Shower to wash away your guilt? Some.
- You ready to talk? - To yell.
Let me get dressed.
We'll go at it.
Can't wait.
Okay, I'm, uh I'm ready.
Armor's on.
Why? You'd just lost the baby, wouldn't answer my calls.
I was in grief.
That's why I was worried about you.
Oh, so you hacked Sam's e-mail because you were worrying about me? I was afraid he'd leave you when you needed him the most.
You wanted him to leave me.
No, I wanted to help you save your marriage.
That marriage was over when our son died.
We stayed together when we shouldn't have.
Why didn't you tell me? Why? I thought I did what was best for you.
I was wrong.
So I'm here to make it right.
Gabriel's worked with activist groups on FBI watch lists.
If he tries to get Sam's case reopened, we threaten him - with conspiracy charges.
- No.
He's a kid who thinks he's more powerful than he is.
This isn't just about him.
The Governor knows that I tried to adopt Wes.
That's enough for her to link me with Sam's killer and reopen the case.
Now that kid Gabriel is here, picking at the scab, so Any more bright ideas? He wanted to go public.
I wasn't ready.
So I told him not to come to the wedding.
He showed up anyway.
I got pissed and broke up with him.
That's the last time I saw him.
What is it? There was a ring.
I left it on him.
But a purchase that big will get noticed.
And I'd rather you hear it from me than the Feds.
I'm sorry.
He brought this on himself.
I gotta say I never saw him at the wedding.
I was in the tent most of the night.
You saw me there and drove me home.
It's not gonna work.
It's just a cleaner story.
Asher saw you with him.
Asher, why does Bonnie need to see you ASAP? - No idea.
- Maybe it's about Gabriel.
I said no more obsessing over Gabriel.
Obsessing about the guy who could lock us all up isn't such a bad idea.
It is when we should be spending that time suing the state for killing an innocent, mentally ill black man.
Where was this altruism when you decided to deport a gay DACA student? All right, I'll be back in an hour to help.
Thanks, Asher.
Hey.
Gang, look who it is.
Aren't you two supposed to be on your honeymoon? Uh, we're going after Connor graduates.
Right on.
Michaela, you got a minute to talk? She doesn't really want to talk to you.
That's right.
She doesn't.
Just let me explain.
You ditched me at a wedding that you begged me to take you to.
I think I understand.
That wasn't about you.
Yeah, I think that's part of her problem.
Look, I had to leave to talk to Professor Keating.
She was at the wedding.
I saw her leave without her keys.
She wasn't home when I got there, so I waited.
Why? That's what I want to talk about.
Then talk so you can finally leave us alone.
Sam Keating's my father.
Look, I know I should've told you all.
But you didn't.
I just want to know what happened to him.
That's why I came to Middleton, and that's why I'm here right now.
To see what you guys can tell me.
Professor Keating worked out of the house that year.
You guys were all interns, right? He was hardly ever there.
Look, I get it.
You don't want to talk about this.
Why would we? You've been lying to us this whole time, manipulating us into kissing you.
That's not what that was.
Look, I never bought into the story that Wes killed him.
So, what, you thought you'd come here and solve a case - that the D.
A.
closed? - Seriously.
You better not be blaming this on A.
K.
I mean, she she's already been through enough.
I know.
I got that when I talked to her last night.
You actually talked to her? Yeah, she told me Wes killed him.
She even played me a voicemail he left her.
Then you know everything.
You don't think he was covering for someone? What about you? I mean, he's your kid's father.
You think he did this alone? Yes.
Because he did.
And honestly? I don't appreciate you barging in here dredging all this up.
Look, I know this is hard, but this is my dad we're talking about.
Yeah, a dad you never knew, okay? Meanwhile, Wes was someone that I loved, someone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with until I realized he was hiding the worst part of himself from me.
You should go.
I've seen what Connor can do when he's angry.
I'd leave if I were you.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I might need to borrow some fresh underwear.
Where's everything on Vivian? There's not much out there on her.
That you found out.
Go see what else you can dig up.
Nice to see you.
And gimme your phone.
I'm cutting you two off.
Where is she? It's saved under "The One.
" I always thought you two were end-game.
Annalise and I are handling Gabriel, okay? I just need sweet-O's help finding dirt on his mom.
So Oliver's handling it? I need blackmail.
Just like we've got on all you.
You in? Only if you give me access to Gabriel's spy cam.
- No.
- He can just hack into it - if you don't give him access.
- She's right.
How's Vanessa? Good.
What is it? She's pregnant.
It was our fifth try.
I gave up on the idea of it ever working, but she just left the doctor, and I'm sorry.
This is the last thing I want to be telling you, Annalise.
You said you never wanted a kid.
I didn't.
I guess you just didn't want one with me.
Don't Don't do this.
What am I doing? Making me feel bad.
Why should you feel bad? For being happy, more than ever.
But I can't tell you that without feeling like it's a competition.
I want you to be happy.
I can handle it.
Are you drinking again? Did Frank tell you that? I saw it on your face the minute I walked in the door.
Your life is hard, God knows, but you chose it, and you continue to choose it every day.
So there has to come a point where you take responsibility for your own mistakes, or you can just stay unhappy.
There's some ice cream in the freezer if you want some dessert.
Was anyone with you when you saw me and Miller outside the tent? No.
I was coming from the bathroom.
Why? What did you see? Um, not much.
I was by the church.
You were both far away.
And then? You disappeared behind the tent.
What's What's going on? You didn't see me with Miller.
I didn't? You saw Bonnie.
She was with him in the parking lot.
Understood? Millstone? I need to know what's going on.
You don't want to know.
I'm not lying to whoever you want me to lie to unless you tell me the truth.
Show him.
This is Miller ordering the Warden to kill Nate's dad.
No, that's Miller ordered the inquest.
It was his cover.
You're you're you're assuming that because he used a payphone? It was him, Asher.
So Miller won't be coming back to work tomorrow because you were the last person who saw him? Right.
Think about all the times Nate's helped you after Sinclair, Simon This is your turn to help him.
Everything's gonna move fast once Monday comes and Miller doesn't show for work.
Peggy won't get him on his cell, so she'll send someone to his place.
I know it's under 48 hours, but even his emergency contacts can't reach him.
And he's never late, especially Monday morning.
Protocol will require the Investigation Division to open a missing person's case immediately.
From that point, you gotta act like every move you make is being watched, especially at work.
A forensics team will sweep Miller's office for evidence.
And they'll put out an APB on his car.
It'll all turn up nothing.
Why? What'd you do with his car? Just focus on your part.
He in there, Pegs? Asher.
What the hell? Ron's missing.
What? I know, it's like Denver all over again.
The FBI will be called in 'cause Denver was just killed.
They'll send a team to the office within hours.
The police will hand over Miller's cell records to them.
They'll want to speak to the last person he called.
Ms.
Winterbottom? Special Agent Telesco.
You free to answer a few questions? What is this about? We'll get to that, but first I'd like you to tell us a little bit about your role here at the office.
If this is a corruption investigation, I'm not answering questions unless my attorney is present.
This isn't a corruption case.
It's a missing person's.
Who's missing? Who is missing? D.
A.
Miller.
What are you talking about? No one's been able to contact or locate Ronald Miller for the last 36 hours.
When was the last time you saw him? Saturday night.
Have you tried his mother? She lives in Lancaster.
We wouldn't be here if we hadn't looked into all leads already.
Okay.
But we had a fight on Saturday, and we broke up, so So you two were seeing each other? Yes.
For a few months.
So maybe this is just him taking some personal time or To be clear, the last time you spoke to him was Saturday night? Yes.
Hey.
This is the last time you two spoke.
Well, maybe it was Sunday morning.
It was the middle of the night.
He called me to apologize, but Are you sure this isn't a mistake? That's perfect.
Call my cell whenever you have anything.
My friend who's a P.
I.
in Cook County.
She's checking for everything on Vivian.
You're allowed to go home now.
I can handle it from now on.
I came here to help, Annalise.
And you did that.
So now you can leave.
Well, you can leave, too.
"Wherever you go, there you are.
" That's what they tell us in AA.
You deserve to have some peace.
That's all I'm saying.
Frank.
You're alive.
I wasn't sure when you weren't answering your phone.
No, that's my fault.
I've been monopolizing her time.
Eve Rothlo.
I'm an old friend.
Emmett Crawford.
He's my boss.
Uh, well, I have a few calls to make.
Happy to see you're putting your giant salary to good use.
What's going on? I got served for a deposition this morning.
- For what? - The misconduct allegations.
C&G wants me to admit fault under oath.
- You can't do that.
- Well, that's why I'm here.
If you're gonna actually keep your promise and help me figure out a way out of this - Of course I will.
- Well, this is the time.
I'll look over it.
Thank you.
Um, are you okay? Yeah.
You know how it is having company, so What do you know about Eve Rothlo? That she's one of the best death-penalty lawyers in the country.
- Who'd you kill? - I saw her at Annalise's apartment.
- What? - It's weird, right? You being at Annalise's apartment? Yes.
Uh, just tell me if you think she's up to something.
- Annalise is always up to something.
- Exactly.
That doesn't mean it's something bad usually.
Like maybe she's just trying to recruit Rothlo to come work here? No, that's not what I sensed was going on.
Well, maybe you should recruit her then and bring me.
We can woo her together.
Yeah.
So you know nothing.
That's what you're telling me.
Asher.
What are you doing here? I need you to ask Miller for the transcripts from Senior's inquest.
- Why? - So we can file Nate's civil suit.
- Can you ask him? - No.
Why am I the only one that cares about this case anymore? I care, okay? I I just I can't be asking him for special favors like that.
Fine.
I'll ask Bonnie.
Uh, you think she'll mind that you told us she's screwing Miller? Michaela, don't do that.
What is going on? Why did Bonnie want to see you? Was it about Gabriel? It was a personal thing, okay? Just stop worrying.
- Anything? - Not yet.
Vivian Maddox is an enigma, just like her son.
- It's addictive, right? - It's boring.
He's studying for our Admin Law Exam.
You think he's playing us? We'd be stupid not to think that.
What should I say? When he's old enough to ask me about his dad? Do I tell him nothing like Gabriel's mom? Hope he never finds out the truth? Or you tell him the truth, which is that his father was a great guy who took the fall for his friends.
You believe that? If it hadn't been for Wes, we'd all be in jail.
Christopher would be in foster care.
Or my dad would have him.
Exactly.
Hey.
Your father was a superhero, which means you're a superhero.
How cool is that? Officer Wagner fired one shot at Mr.
Lahey, striking his frontal skull.
Hey.
Wagner.
Mr.
Lahey, thanks so much for waiting.
You want to tell us what that was all about? Look at your hands.
You're gonna be the main suspect the second Miller's identified as missing.
Just tell me why I'm meeting with the FBI for beating a guy up.
Not just a guy.
The prison guard who shot your father.
A beat down seems like a pretty easy way to get off.
I agree.
Mr.
Lahey, are you aware that D.
A.
Miller has gone missing? Since when? His last reported call was to a colleague early Sunday morning.
You don't seem surprised.
Why? He ordered the inquest on those guards.
So you think those guards might have something to do with his disappearance? Ain't it obvious? Or maybe you're trying to put the blame on some people you're obviously still very angry with.
Someone ordered those guards to kill my pops.
Miller tried to find out who.
Now you're telling me the guy's missing.
You really think that's a coincidence? Is it Nate? That's who you're staying here for? Let's not have this conversation.
If you're together again, I support that.
We're not.
Because you're with that man who showed up? My life is a mess right now.
I don't need a man to make it worse.
What about a woman? Is that what you think, that I need my own Vanessa? If you're open to that.
We know a ton of sober ladies in San Fran.
You've never understood, even now.
Your privilege lets you be gay.
I'm black from the damn Bible Belt.
So stop trying to figure out what's gonna make me happy.
You don't know what that is, I don't know what that is, but it isn't about finding a person, a man or a woman.
I have to figure it out.
I have to save me.
Is Annalise filing a civil suit for Nate? I am, and what are you doing here? She's out sick today.
Came to talk to you, actually.
Nothing you could say to me could get me to forgive you.
Everything I said that night was the truth.
Of course it's true, because I am special and beautiful and worthy of someone great.
Clearly I now know that that's not you.
I know.
I Which you played me like some basic bitch sidepiece.
No.
Look, I only hid who my father was from you so I could find out what happened to him.
And, honestly, I was kind of hoping you'd understand.
Well, you're an idiot for hoping that.
You're adopted, right? So I just thought maybe out of everyone that you would get what it's like to want to know about the parent you never met.
We're not the same.
Leave so I can work.
You've reached Nate Lahey.
Leave a message.
Nate, uh, it's Michaela again.
Sorry to keep calling you.
I just I want to run something by you about your dad's case.
Any leads? Not that I know of.
You know, I was, um I was thinking.
Wouldn't it Wouldn't it be funny if he was just at home, sleeping this whole time, and his his phone was dead? The police went to his house.
Yeah, I know.
Uh, I just remember that one time where he was yelling at you 'cause his phone battery kept dying.
Did you ever, uh, get him a new one? No.
He wanted to wait for the upgrade.
Why? No reason.
Um, but you know what? I think you should get him that upgrade anyway.
Like, that's how much I believe he's coming back, that we just got to keep the faith.
God willing.
I want to run something by you about your dad's case.
Don't worry.
I'm not digging into anything I shouldn't be.
Just, can you call me back? Hey, did they bring you in? Yeah, we'll talk later.
BonBon.
We need to talk.
- Not now.
- It's important.
- Miller's cellphone battery was busted.
- What? His phone kept dying.
Peggy confirmed it.
So what if that's why he was on the payphone not to be shady, but because his phone was actually dead? There's no other reason he'd have called the Warden that day.
We have no proof that the call was even about Nate's dad.
- Asher - What if Nate is wrong? That's all I'm asking.
You don't want to believe he was a bad guy.
I don't want to believe it, either.
But we were wrong about him, especially me, so stop making me feel worse than I already do.
- Ms.
Price, do you have a minute? - No.
What if I told you I know how to make the board love you again? You should file a civil suit against the state on behalf of Nate Lahey Junior.
If you win, you'd attract a ton of good press that C&G desperately needs.
Why wouldn't you bring this to Annalise? You're the civil-suit expert, and you need this win more than she does.
Okay, but have you talked to Nate Junior about this? I wanted to get you on board first.
You mean you want to waste my time on a case without an actual plaintiff? We lost the inquest.
No one is going to jail for murdering that man.
Justice will not be served.
But you know what still can be served? Money.
Let me think about it.
Great.
Michaela? Any idea why Annalise would be meeting with Eve Rothlo? - Eve's here? - So you know about the two of them? No, I-I-I mean, I know that they were at Harvard together.
But were they together at Harvard? You mean before Sam? - Bisexuality is real, Ms.
Pratt.
- I know that.
I have personal experience with the matter.
Really? My fiancé ex-fiancé, he was bisexual.
Interesting.
Seth? You have a minute? Yeah.
This is all crazy, huh? I'm still in shock.
With Denver, I kept thinking it all had to be a mistake.
I'm sorry.
No.
It's rough for everyone.
There's something you don't know.
Ron and I were together.
No one really knew, and I don't want them to.
It's just I don't want to cause trouble.
For who? I heard Ron on a phone call with Warden Sykes.
They were arguing.
You think Sykes is behind this? I don't know.
I just don't want to raise it with the FBI if I'm being paranoid.
And I know that you are monitoring the prison for your corruption case You know I can't talk about that.
Ron told me you have a wiretap on Sykes Bonnie.
I just want to listen to that one call.
Here's the date.
Please.
At least so I can stop thinking that Sykes had something to do with this.
Vivian's been clean a few years.
It helps she works part-time at a rehab center.
- But then I found this.
- Who is he? Vivian's boyfriend until he O.
D.
'd on oxy.
It could work, right? Make Gabe think Mommy could be charged with drug possession, dealing - No.
- He needs to be scared.
She has a better idea, Frank.
Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled Substance Act.
- You think it can work? - I think you can make it work.
We'll need proof that Vivian supplied the oxy.
Easy.
Frank bribes someone to say Vivian was their dealer.
So now we're lying to Gabriel as well as bribing drug addicts, too? Sorry, what am I doing? They won't have to testify, just sign a statement.
Gabriel's too smart to fall for that.
He's just a law student.
He'll cave.
Or it makes me look guilty.
He loves his mother, right? Use that not to scare him, but to convince him to protect her.
Hey.
Let's talk.
Look inside.
Who is he? Your mother's ex.
She was with him when you were an undergrad.
Kept it under wraps because they were using drugs together.
Her drugs.
So this is a threat I keep my mouth shut about Sam, otherwise you, what, you get my mom charged with murder? That's not what I'm saying.
Then tell me what the hell this is.
I could've easily taken this to the police if I wanted to hurt you or her.
Instead, here I am, giving it to you.
Why? Because I want to help you.
- Because you feel guilty.
- Yeah.
Because it wasn't just Sam.
It was me who hurt her, too.
And maybe that's what made her turn to drugs.
And if I can find this out in a day, imagine what else someone else could find if they really wanted her to suffer.
We both want to protect her, Gabriel.
So just help me to do that.
They get their money's worth with us single people, don't they? Hmm.
What's up? A potential new case.
This is Annalise's client.
She's too busy to handle a civil suit.
You okay with me suing the state? Let me read it over.
Oh, and I got some scoop on why Eve Rothlo could be here - if you're interested.
- Mm.
Go ahead.
- They're ex-girlfriends.
- What? It was, apparently, just a law-school thing for Annalise.
Meaning, you know, don't worry, you still got a chance.
- Projecting much? - What? I think you meant to say that you still have a chance.
What? No! Sir, come Oh.
Oh, you think you're funny.
Good night, Ms.
Price.
I'm just a plane ride away.
So, uh, call me if Gabriel acts up or you need my help with the Governor.
I can handle it.
I just need an excuse to visit.
I can come to you after the baby.
If there's a baby.
Oh, there's gonna be.
My point is come sooner.
Not to introduce you to our hot friends.
I don't want "hot.
" I want nice.
They can be both.
Just keep your eyes open.
That's all.
Mr.
Maddox.
This is Agent Telesco with the FBI.
We have a few questions about a voicemail you left for D.
A.
Ronald Miller.
I screwed up.
They found out who I am.
Can you call me back? Please call us back as soon as possible so we can set up a time to meet.
Breaking news in Philadelphia tonight.
We have just received word that Interim District Attorney Ronald Miller has officially been named a missing person by the FBI.
Authorities were notified this morning when Mr.
Miller, - a long-time Philadelphia resident - You don't know who gave you this.
who has worked at the D.
A.
s office for over a decade, failed to appear at work and then could not be reached by telephone or at his home.
There has been no recent activity on his cellphone or car GPS that could help investigators determine his current location.
It has been close to 36 hours since anyone has seen or heard - from the interim District Attorney - Dinner's ready.
who took office several months ago.
No one's hungry? 'Cause I can inhale this pad Thai all by myself.
Our sources tell us there were no signs of a struggle or - break-in at his home.
- Did you know about this? The suspicious nature of D.
A.
Miller's disappearance prompted the FBI to open an immediate investigation in hopes of finding the D.
A.
alive.
You were at work all day.
You had to have known.
- Authorities say the D.
A.
made - No, I swear.
his last known phone call in the early hours of Sunday morning - This is bad.
- It's not bad.
It's a nightmare.
- The call contained no indication - You really didn't know? No idea.
of danger or duress.
Law enforcement is asking that anyone - Hey.
It's all over the news.
- who has seen his vehicle to come - You got to tell her.
- I'm here now.
any information that may lead to the D.
A.
's discovery.
The FBI has reported that any and all leads will be explored to the fullest degree.
Board of Probation and Parole.
This is Warden Sykes returning Mrs.
Jeffries' call about the new Parole Board regulation.
Warden Sykes here.
Hi, Warden.
It's Janelle from the Department of Corrections.
D.
A.
Miller's disappearance is of particular concern considering the fact that his predecessor, District Attorney Todd Denver, was murdered less than a year ago.
Currently serving time for his murder is former Antares Technologies CEO Jorge Castillo.
- The FBI declined to comment - Did your father do this? on if they believe there may be a connection I don't know.
between D.
A.
Miller's disappearance and Castillo.
- Probably.
- It wasn't your dad.
How would you know? You wanna tell them? it was widely known - What? - Bonnie needed to see you ASAP, you were acting weird at the office That doesn't mean anything.
She had blood on her leg at the wedding.
Why? Did she do something to him? No.
You're insane.
It's Bonnie had Christopher at the wedding.
I couldn't find them.
Tell us the truth.
Was this Bonnie? Nate.
He just kept lying to my face, saying I was wrong, and I lost it.
Started swinging.
It was like I wasn't there.
No control.
My body just took over.
I'm not telling you so you can fix this.
How is that true? The Governor's gonna come after the both of us even harder now.
No.
Because it was the Governor who killed Miller.
She got Miller to help her take out my pops, then she took him out to keep him from squealing.
It's a good plan.
Hi, Warden.
This is Marissa.
This is Sykes.
Jeff, hey.
Ron Miller here.
Oh.
I didn't recognize the number.
Yeah, my phone died.
Uh, listen, I'm calling to thank you for handling the Nate Lahey Senior transfer.
It's not a problem.
Well, still, I just wanted to say thanks.
His son works for me, he's a good guy, so I'd like to make the transfer as easy as possible on his old man.
Yeah, we'll take good care of him.
No problem.
Yeah, thanks so much, Jeff.
- Good night.
- Night.
I can fix this for you.
You had Nate's dad killed.
No.
- Why aren't you with your boo? - He didn't come.
Just saw him outside with Nate.
Why'd you call the Warden that day? Own it! He murdered my pops.
Take his car and him and drive away.
Why do you look like someone just died? Gabriel is Sam's kid.
You're making him out to be some monster.
He hurt all of us.
I want to know how he died.
All Gabriel has to do is find new evidence.
He's here to take us down.
Please record your message.
I screwed up.
They found out who I am.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Can I have my ball back? - Do I know you? - You're going to help me with this.
Delete this e-mail.
Go upstairs to your wife and love her.
He never deserved you, Annalise.
Every single day is the chance for a new beginning, every morning an opportunity to be changed, different magnificent.
We all have the choice to stay mired in our own pain and mess, or we can try mending the broken pieces inside ourselves.
You here to make my face look like yours? Maybe.
Look, this wasn't about you, okay? This was about two consenting adults needing a connection Never talk to me about my mom again.
Is he in there? I don't know.
I haven't heard him all day.
Maybe he's already turned us in to the police.
It's not easy believing in ourselves.
I hear talking.
We all feel like there's some thing inside us that's missing, and if only we could find it, we'd finally feel whole.
We just can't do that until we learn to look inside ourselves.
Where's Connor? I need his help.
He went for a run to take his mind off the Gabriel stuff.
That's why I need him we're gonna burn Gabriel from our brains by writing up a wrongful death suit for Nate Senior.
Didn't Nate Junior ask you to stop interfering in his life? He'll forgive me once he sees that this is our last chance at justice.
Or you're just setting him up for more disappointment.
Hey.
You're supposed to be the hopeful one in this house.
Don't go dark on me.
But looking within is hard.
It means seeing not only the good parts of ourselves, but the bad.
What did you see, precioso? Mama.
It means recognizing our own weaknesses and flaws and wounds.
You've reached Bonnie Winterbottom.
Please leave a message.
Only then can we start to heal.
Annalise doesn't need us dumping another problem on her.
She also doesn't need to be blindsided again.
This is not her problem to fix.
Then at least tell me what you did with the body.
- Doesn't matter.
- It will when the cops find it and you two are thrown in jail.
- That's not gonna happen.
- Look at your hands.
You're gonna be the main suspect the second Miller's identified as missing.
This is my life, my mistake.
It wasn't a mistake.
This is Nate's call.
Fine.
But as soon as it's out that Miller's M.
I.
A.
, one of you is telling her.
Yeah.
We'll see.
What did we agree on? I'm calling Eve.
What the hell do you want? - Annalise? - Do I sound like Eve? Are you in San Fran? - No.
- Eve's here? Let me come over.
We'll figure out how to handle Gabriel.
I talked to him last night.
He's fine.
Annalise, what does that mean? Why don't you bring over your Gabriel file? Eve would like to say hi, too.
She's not happy.
Shower to wash away your guilt? Some.
- You ready to talk? - To yell.
Let me get dressed.
We'll go at it.
Can't wait.
Okay, I'm, uh I'm ready.
Armor's on.
Why? You'd just lost the baby, wouldn't answer my calls.
I was in grief.
That's why I was worried about you.
Oh, so you hacked Sam's e-mail because you were worrying about me? I was afraid he'd leave you when you needed him the most.
You wanted him to leave me.
No, I wanted to help you save your marriage.
That marriage was over when our son died.
We stayed together when we shouldn't have.
Why didn't you tell me? Why? I thought I did what was best for you.
I was wrong.
So I'm here to make it right.
Gabriel's worked with activist groups on FBI watch lists.
If he tries to get Sam's case reopened, we threaten him - with conspiracy charges.
- No.
He's a kid who thinks he's more powerful than he is.
This isn't just about him.
The Governor knows that I tried to adopt Wes.
That's enough for her to link me with Sam's killer and reopen the case.
Now that kid Gabriel is here, picking at the scab, so Any more bright ideas? He wanted to go public.
I wasn't ready.
So I told him not to come to the wedding.
He showed up anyway.
I got pissed and broke up with him.
That's the last time I saw him.
What is it? There was a ring.
I left it on him.
But a purchase that big will get noticed.
And I'd rather you hear it from me than the Feds.
I'm sorry.
He brought this on himself.
I gotta say I never saw him at the wedding.
I was in the tent most of the night.
You saw me there and drove me home.
It's not gonna work.
It's just a cleaner story.
Asher saw you with him.
Asher, why does Bonnie need to see you ASAP? - No idea.
- Maybe it's about Gabriel.
I said no more obsessing over Gabriel.
Obsessing about the guy who could lock us all up isn't such a bad idea.
It is when we should be spending that time suing the state for killing an innocent, mentally ill black man.
Where was this altruism when you decided to deport a gay DACA student? All right, I'll be back in an hour to help.
Thanks, Asher.
Hey.
Gang, look who it is.
Aren't you two supposed to be on your honeymoon? Uh, we're going after Connor graduates.
Right on.
Michaela, you got a minute to talk? She doesn't really want to talk to you.
That's right.
She doesn't.
Just let me explain.
You ditched me at a wedding that you begged me to take you to.
I think I understand.
That wasn't about you.
Yeah, I think that's part of her problem.
Look, I had to leave to talk to Professor Keating.
She was at the wedding.
I saw her leave without her keys.
She wasn't home when I got there, so I waited.
Why? That's what I want to talk about.
Then talk so you can finally leave us alone.
Sam Keating's my father.
Look, I know I should've told you all.
But you didn't.
I just want to know what happened to him.
That's why I came to Middleton, and that's why I'm here right now.
To see what you guys can tell me.
Professor Keating worked out of the house that year.
You guys were all interns, right? He was hardly ever there.
Look, I get it.
You don't want to talk about this.
Why would we? You've been lying to us this whole time, manipulating us into kissing you.
That's not what that was.
Look, I never bought into the story that Wes killed him.
So, what, you thought you'd come here and solve a case - that the D.
A.
closed? - Seriously.
You better not be blaming this on A.
K.
I mean, she she's already been through enough.
I know.
I got that when I talked to her last night.
You actually talked to her? Yeah, she told me Wes killed him.
She even played me a voicemail he left her.
Then you know everything.
You don't think he was covering for someone? What about you? I mean, he's your kid's father.
You think he did this alone? Yes.
Because he did.
And honestly? I don't appreciate you barging in here dredging all this up.
Look, I know this is hard, but this is my dad we're talking about.
Yeah, a dad you never knew, okay? Meanwhile, Wes was someone that I loved, someone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with until I realized he was hiding the worst part of himself from me.
You should go.
I've seen what Connor can do when he's angry.
I'd leave if I were you.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I might need to borrow some fresh underwear.
Where's everything on Vivian? There's not much out there on her.
That you found out.
Go see what else you can dig up.
Nice to see you.
And gimme your phone.
I'm cutting you two off.
Where is she? It's saved under "The One.
" I always thought you two were end-game.
Annalise and I are handling Gabriel, okay? I just need sweet-O's help finding dirt on his mom.
So Oliver's handling it? I need blackmail.
Just like we've got on all you.
You in? Only if you give me access to Gabriel's spy cam.
- No.
- He can just hack into it - if you don't give him access.
- She's right.
How's Vanessa? Good.
What is it? She's pregnant.
It was our fifth try.
I gave up on the idea of it ever working, but she just left the doctor, and I'm sorry.
This is the last thing I want to be telling you, Annalise.
You said you never wanted a kid.
I didn't.
I guess you just didn't want one with me.
Don't Don't do this.
What am I doing? Making me feel bad.
Why should you feel bad? For being happy, more than ever.
But I can't tell you that without feeling like it's a competition.
I want you to be happy.
I can handle it.
Are you drinking again? Did Frank tell you that? I saw it on your face the minute I walked in the door.
Your life is hard, God knows, but you chose it, and you continue to choose it every day.
So there has to come a point where you take responsibility for your own mistakes, or you can just stay unhappy.
There's some ice cream in the freezer if you want some dessert.
Was anyone with you when you saw me and Miller outside the tent? No.
I was coming from the bathroom.
Why? What did you see? Um, not much.
I was by the church.
You were both far away.
And then? You disappeared behind the tent.
What's What's going on? You didn't see me with Miller.
I didn't? You saw Bonnie.
She was with him in the parking lot.
Understood? Millstone? I need to know what's going on.
You don't want to know.
I'm not lying to whoever you want me to lie to unless you tell me the truth.
Show him.
This is Miller ordering the Warden to kill Nate's dad.
No, that's Miller ordered the inquest.
It was his cover.
You're you're you're assuming that because he used a payphone? It was him, Asher.
So Miller won't be coming back to work tomorrow because you were the last person who saw him? Right.
Think about all the times Nate's helped you after Sinclair, Simon This is your turn to help him.
Everything's gonna move fast once Monday comes and Miller doesn't show for work.
Peggy won't get him on his cell, so she'll send someone to his place.
I know it's under 48 hours, but even his emergency contacts can't reach him.
And he's never late, especially Monday morning.
Protocol will require the Investigation Division to open a missing person's case immediately.
From that point, you gotta act like every move you make is being watched, especially at work.
A forensics team will sweep Miller's office for evidence.
And they'll put out an APB on his car.
It'll all turn up nothing.
Why? What'd you do with his car? Just focus on your part.
He in there, Pegs? Asher.
What the hell? Ron's missing.
What? I know, it's like Denver all over again.
The FBI will be called in 'cause Denver was just killed.
They'll send a team to the office within hours.
The police will hand over Miller's cell records to them.
They'll want to speak to the last person he called.
Ms.
Winterbottom? Special Agent Telesco.
You free to answer a few questions? What is this about? We'll get to that, but first I'd like you to tell us a little bit about your role here at the office.
If this is a corruption investigation, I'm not answering questions unless my attorney is present.
This isn't a corruption case.
It's a missing person's.
Who's missing? Who is missing? D.
A.
Miller.
What are you talking about? No one's been able to contact or locate Ronald Miller for the last 36 hours.
When was the last time you saw him? Saturday night.
Have you tried his mother? She lives in Lancaster.
We wouldn't be here if we hadn't looked into all leads already.
Okay.
But we had a fight on Saturday, and we broke up, so So you two were seeing each other? Yes.
For a few months.
So maybe this is just him taking some personal time or To be clear, the last time you spoke to him was Saturday night? Yes.
Hey.
This is the last time you two spoke.
Well, maybe it was Sunday morning.
It was the middle of the night.
He called me to apologize, but Are you sure this isn't a mistake? That's perfect.
Call my cell whenever you have anything.
My friend who's a P.
I.
in Cook County.
She's checking for everything on Vivian.
You're allowed to go home now.
I can handle it from now on.
I came here to help, Annalise.
And you did that.
So now you can leave.
Well, you can leave, too.
"Wherever you go, there you are.
" That's what they tell us in AA.
You deserve to have some peace.
That's all I'm saying.
Frank.
You're alive.
I wasn't sure when you weren't answering your phone.
No, that's my fault.
I've been monopolizing her time.
Eve Rothlo.
I'm an old friend.
Emmett Crawford.
He's my boss.
Uh, well, I have a few calls to make.
Happy to see you're putting your giant salary to good use.
What's going on? I got served for a deposition this morning.
- For what? - The misconduct allegations.
C&G wants me to admit fault under oath.
- You can't do that.
- Well, that's why I'm here.
If you're gonna actually keep your promise and help me figure out a way out of this - Of course I will.
- Well, this is the time.
I'll look over it.
Thank you.
Um, are you okay? Yeah.
You know how it is having company, so What do you know about Eve Rothlo? That she's one of the best death-penalty lawyers in the country.
- Who'd you kill? - I saw her at Annalise's apartment.
- What? - It's weird, right? You being at Annalise's apartment? Yes.
Uh, just tell me if you think she's up to something.
- Annalise is always up to something.
- Exactly.
That doesn't mean it's something bad usually.
Like maybe she's just trying to recruit Rothlo to come work here? No, that's not what I sensed was going on.
Well, maybe you should recruit her then and bring me.
We can woo her together.
Yeah.
So you know nothing.
That's what you're telling me.
Asher.
What are you doing here? I need you to ask Miller for the transcripts from Senior's inquest.
- Why? - So we can file Nate's civil suit.
- Can you ask him? - No.
Why am I the only one that cares about this case anymore? I care, okay? I I just I can't be asking him for special favors like that.
Fine.
I'll ask Bonnie.
Uh, you think she'll mind that you told us she's screwing Miller? Michaela, don't do that.
What is going on? Why did Bonnie want to see you? Was it about Gabriel? It was a personal thing, okay? Just stop worrying.
- Anything? - Not yet.
Vivian Maddox is an enigma, just like her son.
- It's addictive, right? - It's boring.
He's studying for our Admin Law Exam.
You think he's playing us? We'd be stupid not to think that.
What should I say? When he's old enough to ask me about his dad? Do I tell him nothing like Gabriel's mom? Hope he never finds out the truth? Or you tell him the truth, which is that his father was a great guy who took the fall for his friends.
You believe that? If it hadn't been for Wes, we'd all be in jail.
Christopher would be in foster care.
Or my dad would have him.
Exactly.
Hey.
Your father was a superhero, which means you're a superhero.
How cool is that? Officer Wagner fired one shot at Mr.
Lahey, striking his frontal skull.
Hey.
Wagner.
Mr.
Lahey, thanks so much for waiting.
You want to tell us what that was all about? Look at your hands.
You're gonna be the main suspect the second Miller's identified as missing.
Just tell me why I'm meeting with the FBI for beating a guy up.
Not just a guy.
The prison guard who shot your father.
A beat down seems like a pretty easy way to get off.
I agree.
Mr.
Lahey, are you aware that D.
A.
Miller has gone missing? Since when? His last reported call was to a colleague early Sunday morning.
You don't seem surprised.
Why? He ordered the inquest on those guards.
So you think those guards might have something to do with his disappearance? Ain't it obvious? Or maybe you're trying to put the blame on some people you're obviously still very angry with.
Someone ordered those guards to kill my pops.
Miller tried to find out who.
Now you're telling me the guy's missing.
You really think that's a coincidence? Is it Nate? That's who you're staying here for? Let's not have this conversation.
If you're together again, I support that.
We're not.
Because you're with that man who showed up? My life is a mess right now.
I don't need a man to make it worse.
What about a woman? Is that what you think, that I need my own Vanessa? If you're open to that.
We know a ton of sober ladies in San Fran.
You've never understood, even now.
Your privilege lets you be gay.
I'm black from the damn Bible Belt.
So stop trying to figure out what's gonna make me happy.
You don't know what that is, I don't know what that is, but it isn't about finding a person, a man or a woman.
I have to figure it out.
I have to save me.
Is Annalise filing a civil suit for Nate? I am, and what are you doing here? She's out sick today.
Came to talk to you, actually.
Nothing you could say to me could get me to forgive you.
Everything I said that night was the truth.
Of course it's true, because I am special and beautiful and worthy of someone great.
Clearly I now know that that's not you.
I know.
I Which you played me like some basic bitch sidepiece.
No.
Look, I only hid who my father was from you so I could find out what happened to him.
And, honestly, I was kind of hoping you'd understand.
Well, you're an idiot for hoping that.
You're adopted, right? So I just thought maybe out of everyone that you would get what it's like to want to know about the parent you never met.
We're not the same.
Leave so I can work.
You've reached Nate Lahey.
Leave a message.
Nate, uh, it's Michaela again.
Sorry to keep calling you.
I just I want to run something by you about your dad's case.
Any leads? Not that I know of.
You know, I was, um I was thinking.
Wouldn't it Wouldn't it be funny if he was just at home, sleeping this whole time, and his his phone was dead? The police went to his house.
Yeah, I know.
Uh, I just remember that one time where he was yelling at you 'cause his phone battery kept dying.
Did you ever, uh, get him a new one? No.
He wanted to wait for the upgrade.
Why? No reason.
Um, but you know what? I think you should get him that upgrade anyway.
Like, that's how much I believe he's coming back, that we just got to keep the faith.
God willing.
I want to run something by you about your dad's case.
Don't worry.
I'm not digging into anything I shouldn't be.
Just, can you call me back? Hey, did they bring you in? Yeah, we'll talk later.
BonBon.
We need to talk.
- Not now.
- It's important.
- Miller's cellphone battery was busted.
- What? His phone kept dying.
Peggy confirmed it.
So what if that's why he was on the payphone not to be shady, but because his phone was actually dead? There's no other reason he'd have called the Warden that day.
We have no proof that the call was even about Nate's dad.
- Asher - What if Nate is wrong? That's all I'm asking.
You don't want to believe he was a bad guy.
I don't want to believe it, either.
But we were wrong about him, especially me, so stop making me feel worse than I already do.
- Ms.
Price, do you have a minute? - No.
What if I told you I know how to make the board love you again? You should file a civil suit against the state on behalf of Nate Lahey Junior.
If you win, you'd attract a ton of good press that C&G desperately needs.
Why wouldn't you bring this to Annalise? You're the civil-suit expert, and you need this win more than she does.
Okay, but have you talked to Nate Junior about this? I wanted to get you on board first.
You mean you want to waste my time on a case without an actual plaintiff? We lost the inquest.
No one is going to jail for murdering that man.
Justice will not be served.
But you know what still can be served? Money.
Let me think about it.
Great.
Michaela? Any idea why Annalise would be meeting with Eve Rothlo? - Eve's here? - So you know about the two of them? No, I-I-I mean, I know that they were at Harvard together.
But were they together at Harvard? You mean before Sam? - Bisexuality is real, Ms.
Pratt.
- I know that.
I have personal experience with the matter.
Really? My fiancé ex-fiancé, he was bisexual.
Interesting.
Seth? You have a minute? Yeah.
This is all crazy, huh? I'm still in shock.
With Denver, I kept thinking it all had to be a mistake.
I'm sorry.
No.
It's rough for everyone.
There's something you don't know.
Ron and I were together.
No one really knew, and I don't want them to.
It's just I don't want to cause trouble.
For who? I heard Ron on a phone call with Warden Sykes.
They were arguing.
You think Sykes is behind this? I don't know.
I just don't want to raise it with the FBI if I'm being paranoid.
And I know that you are monitoring the prison for your corruption case You know I can't talk about that.
Ron told me you have a wiretap on Sykes Bonnie.
I just want to listen to that one call.
Here's the date.
Please.
At least so I can stop thinking that Sykes had something to do with this.
Vivian's been clean a few years.
It helps she works part-time at a rehab center.
- But then I found this.
- Who is he? Vivian's boyfriend until he O.
D.
'd on oxy.
It could work, right? Make Gabe think Mommy could be charged with drug possession, dealing - No.
- He needs to be scared.
She has a better idea, Frank.
Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled Substance Act.
- You think it can work? - I think you can make it work.
We'll need proof that Vivian supplied the oxy.
Easy.
Frank bribes someone to say Vivian was their dealer.
So now we're lying to Gabriel as well as bribing drug addicts, too? Sorry, what am I doing? They won't have to testify, just sign a statement.
Gabriel's too smart to fall for that.
He's just a law student.
He'll cave.
Or it makes me look guilty.
He loves his mother, right? Use that not to scare him, but to convince him to protect her.
Hey.
Let's talk.
Look inside.
Who is he? Your mother's ex.
She was with him when you were an undergrad.
Kept it under wraps because they were using drugs together.
Her drugs.
So this is a threat I keep my mouth shut about Sam, otherwise you, what, you get my mom charged with murder? That's not what I'm saying.
Then tell me what the hell this is.
I could've easily taken this to the police if I wanted to hurt you or her.
Instead, here I am, giving it to you.
Why? Because I want to help you.
- Because you feel guilty.
- Yeah.
Because it wasn't just Sam.
It was me who hurt her, too.
And maybe that's what made her turn to drugs.
And if I can find this out in a day, imagine what else someone else could find if they really wanted her to suffer.
We both want to protect her, Gabriel.
So just help me to do that.
They get their money's worth with us single people, don't they? Hmm.
What's up? A potential new case.
This is Annalise's client.
She's too busy to handle a civil suit.
You okay with me suing the state? Let me read it over.
Oh, and I got some scoop on why Eve Rothlo could be here - if you're interested.
- Mm.
Go ahead.
- They're ex-girlfriends.
- What? It was, apparently, just a law-school thing for Annalise.
Meaning, you know, don't worry, you still got a chance.
- Projecting much? - What? I think you meant to say that you still have a chance.
What? No! Sir, come Oh.
Oh, you think you're funny.
Good night, Ms.
Price.
I'm just a plane ride away.
So, uh, call me if Gabriel acts up or you need my help with the Governor.
I can handle it.
I just need an excuse to visit.
I can come to you after the baby.
If there's a baby.
Oh, there's gonna be.
My point is come sooner.
Not to introduce you to our hot friends.
I don't want "hot.
" I want nice.
They can be both.
Just keep your eyes open.
That's all.
Mr.
Maddox.
This is Agent Telesco with the FBI.
We have a few questions about a voicemail you left for D.
A.
Ronald Miller.
I screwed up.
They found out who I am.
Can you call me back? Please call us back as soon as possible so we can set up a time to meet.

There has been no recent activity on his cellphone or car GPS that could help investigators determine his current location.
It has been close to 36 hours since anyone has seen or heard - from the interim District Attorney - Dinner's ready.

No one's hungry? 'Cause I can inhale this pad Thai all by myself.
Our sources tell us there were no signs of a struggle or - break-in at his home.
- Did you know about this? The suspicious nature of D.
A.
Miller's disappearance prompted the FBI to open an immediate investigation in hopes of finding the D.
A.
alive.
You were at work all day.
You had to have known.
- Authorities say the D.
A.
made - No, I swear.
his last known phone call in the early hours of Sunday morning - This is bad.
- It's not bad.
It's a nightmare.
- The call contained no indication - You really didn't know? No idea.
of danger or duress.
Law enforcement is asking that anyone - Hey.
It's all over the news.

Board of Probation and Parole.
This is Warden Sykes returning Mrs.
Jeffries' call about the new Parole Board regulation.
Warden Sykes here.
Hi, Warden.
It's Janelle from the Department of Corrections.
D.
A.
Miller's disappearance is of particular concern considering the fact that his predecessor, District Attorney Todd Denver, was murdered less than a year ago.
Currently serving time for his murder is former Antares Technologies CEO Jorge Castillo.
- The FBI declined to comment - Did your father do this? on if they believe there may be a connection I don't know.
between D.
A.
Miller's disappearance and Castillo.
- Probably.
- It wasn't your dad.
How would you know? You wanna tell them? it was widely known - What? - Bonnie needed to see you ASAP, you were acting weird at the office That doesn't mean anything.
She had blood on her leg at the wedding.
Why? Did she do something to him? No.
You're insane.
It's Bonnie had Christopher at the wedding.
I couldn't find them.
Tell us the truth.
Was this Bonnie? Nate.
He just kept lying to my face, saying I was wrong, and I lost it.
Started swinging.
It was like I wasn't there.
No control.
My body just took over.
I'm not telling you so you can fix this.
How is that true? The Governor's gonna come after the both of us even harder now.
No.
Because it was the Governor who killed Miller.
She got Miller to help her take out my pops, then she took him out to keep him from squealing.
It's a good plan.
Hi, Warden.
This is Marissa.
This is Sykes.
Jeff, hey.
Ron Miller here.
Oh.
I didn't recognize the number.
Yeah, my phone died.
Uh, listen, I'm calling to thank you for handling the Nate Lahey Senior transfer.
It's not a problem.
Well, still, I just wanted to say thanks.
His son works for me, he's a good guy, so I'd like to make the transfer as easy as possible on his old man.
Yeah, we'll take good care of him.
No problem.
Yeah, thanks so much, Jeff.
- Good night.
