SARAH: Case!
Case, wait up!
Sorry, we can't be late!
Didn't Professor Ambrose advise you to skip class this week?
Yeah, I just can't sit around and do nothing.
He's not gonna be found guilty.
Case, at worst, your brother's a thief.
PJ: Hey, how you holding up?
She's not.
I was up all night, but I've got a plan.
Look, if he's convicted of second-degree murder,
there's only two ways to shorten a life sentence.
Through the governor, upon unanimous recommendation
by the board of pardons, or an exoneration.
We can cross that bridge if and when we get there.
PJ, after dark clouds come rainbows.
Start talking.
In my year of being a court intern,
precedent shows the odds of an exoneration or a pardon
are extremely low.
But not impossible.
Casey, this is why hypothetical bridges are bad.
Now you're sad! - No, no, I'm not sad.
Look, thank you for being honest.
And thank you both for being here
and all of the support.
I could not have done it without you.
It's much appreciated.
I'm just an intern,
standing in front of a worried sister, asking her--
Wait, are you quoting Notting Hill right now?
What? No.
Okay, yes.
- I love Notting Hill. - See? Thank you!
PROFESSOR AMBROSE: The protections of due process
can be further understood in what two categories?
Jared? - Procedural due process and...
- Sarah? - Substantive due process.
Which ensures that laws and actions are what?
Tamara? - Fair and reasonable.
Because our rights should not be infringed.
AMBROSE: Haven't opened the floor to commentary, Mr. Flint,
but since you are so eager to participate,
enlighten us on some of the errors
that can lead to prejudice against a defendant.
Flaws in lab procedures,
inaccurate or miscalculated DNA testing,
and overall fraud and human error.
Human error.
[in a whisper] Little show-off.
AMBROSE: Yes.
Now, this is where theory gets convoluted by practice,
which can compromise an otherwise fair proceeding.
Now the floor is open.
ELI: What about the act of second-degree murder?
Let's say in the case of, I don't know, a robbery.
[scoffs] Unreal.
How does due process apply to that?
And what if the robbery was committed
after the victim was already dead?
Regardless of the nature of the offence,
doesn't the law apply equally to everyone involved?
For instance, isn't the sentence life in prison
without the possibility of parole?
And what if the defendant was only convicted
because of human error?
I mean, I'm sure you wouldn't want an innocent man
to go to prison for the rest of their lives
for something they didn't do, would you?
Or maybe you actually would.
AMBROSE: While I appreciate a hearty debate,
we've gotten a little ahead of ourselves.
Wrongful conviction will be the focus in the next few weeks.
That is class.
Mr. Flint, Ms. Barlowe, please come to the front.
We'll wait for you.
I swear...
AMBROSE: Look, I know you both are going through
some incredibly hard things right now.
He started it.
Wow, with an opening like that, good luck ever winning a case.
You know, I could argue that your brother started it
by killing my girlfriend. - Okay--
You don't know anything about my brother!
Or about me.
You are a spoiled brat who's had every single thing handed to him
his whole life and has never had a single hardship
for a single day, ever.
Now, that's a better opening.
AMBROSE: Whether her brother did this to Devina or not,
it is not Casey's fault.
Devina was her friend,
and she could also be losing her brother.
And he is in grief.
I know you can relate.
Look, I hate that you are both going through this right now,
and I am here for you, whatever you need.
But you can't bring it into my class,
or I'll ask you to leave, okay?
- Of course. - Fine.
Eli, you can go. Casey, please stay.
[sighs]
"He started it"?
I'm sorry, Professor Ambrose. I just, I...
No, it's okay. It's okay.
- I shouldn't have engaged. - It's okay.
- [sighs] - How are you doing?
Bracing for the worst, and...
trying to hope for the best.
Yeah.
The jury's deliberating right now, so, um...
Length of deliberation isn't necessarily
a good or bad sign for either side.
Do you think what Theodore Parker said was right?
Does the moral arc of the universe bend toward justice?
Well, my next class starts in 11 minutes,
and that is not near enough time to have
the "Do we live in a just society" conversation.
Yeah.
But I meant what I said earlier.
Whether you need to talk or just miss a few classes,
I'm here.
- Okay. - Okay.
Hey... Hey, are you okay?
I am so sorry that happened to you.
Someone needs to put a muzzle on that guy,
and I would love that someone to be me.
Hey, it's okay. He believes
that my brother murdered his girlfriend.
I would be mad too.
I feel like you need a hug.
Oh, okay-- oh, it's happening, okay, we're hugging.
No, I need to hug you for at least 30 seconds
to calm your sympathetic nervous system.

♪
Okay.
Okay, what are our next steps?
Alright, um... if we're looking to exonerate,
we gotta find new evidence.
They must have missed something.
An item of clothing they forgot to test,
blood, hair, fingerprints...
I need to get the discovery.
It'll be released
now that Marcus has been sentenced, right?
Right, but I can get it faster than you.
So, text me your address, I'll meet you there,
and we'll pore through every page.
Thank you, you legal angel.
Alright, let's go do this.
[ambient city sounds]
CASEY: "I checked her pulse and breath.
"Should have called the police, but with my record,
"I was scared they'd think I'd killed her.
"Felt sick to my stomach, but I needed the money.
"The necklace was there and she was already dead,
"so I took it."
How long were you and Devina friends for?
Since, um, first day of undergrad.
All three of us, actually.
And then Case and I went to law school,
Devina came to a party with us, met Eli,
and started distancing herself after that.
Yeah.
Ah, so that explains the tension between you three.
She left you for the big man on campus.
Yeah, basically.
So, then, how did Marcus not know Devina?
They never met.
My mom died a couple months before I went to college,
and that's when Marcus started
pushing me away and getting into trouble.
You know, breaking and entering, shoplifting,
public intoxication.
Gotcha.
Strangulation is a crime of passion.
It takes place between two people in a close relationship.
Exactly.
So, besides Eli, who was Devina hanging out with?
We don't actually know.
She folded herself into Eli's friend group.
And we were never invited to hang out with that group.
- Nope. - Not that I wanted to.
In the last, what, six months,
she hasn't returned a single call or text.
Okay, so we need to figure out who was in Devina's circle
during that time.
Was Eli questioned?
Uh, I don't think so, unless it was off the record.
Oh, oh, I can find that out.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Here's something.
So, the bodega owner, he was the one that confirmed
he saw Marcus standing over Devina's already-still body.
Which Marcus confirmed in his statement.
He's the only eyewitness.
That doesn't prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt.
Well, there's 12 jurors that would say the opposite.
Yeah, but remember what Ambrose said:
even the most objective jurors
will err on the side of putting an innocent man away
rather than letting a murderer go free.
Yeah, it's true.
Who would have done this to her?
CASEY: Ah, Devina, what were you doing?
SARAH: Wait...
That's odd.
What'd you find?
The only items tested were Devina's phone,
which only had her prints, and the necklace,
which carried Marcus's prints,
which means that the item Marcus knowingly took
was the sole, real evidence used to convict him.
PJ: What?
Everything on or around her should have been tested.
If we could get our hands on those items,
do you think you could test them for prints?
If the CSI lab caught me, I would lose my internship.
Right.
SARAH: But you're my best friend.
And, you know, justice.
Well, I would do it fast, though,
because anything deemed extraneous
will either be disposed of
or returned to Devina's next-of-kin.
Well, if Frank gets a hold of it,
we'll never see it again.
Oh, if only we knew an intern at the public defender's office
with access to the police department
where said evidence is being held.
- No, no, no, no... - Yeah...
- No! - Oh, she's right.
[Casey sighs]
Do we have to?
[ambient city sounds]
Let me guess.
You guys are looking for a tutor.
Sorry, my schedule is indefinitely full.
Ugh, calm down.
I know you think my brother's guilty.
I know your brother's guilty.
What if I were to tell you there may be evidence
to suggest the contrary?
Evidence that wasn't properly dusted for other prints
or tested for a potential match?
And yes, we read every syllable of discovery.
The public defender's office is swimming in cases.
They don't have the luxury of unlimited resources
to spend on cases that are clear.
Marcus's was clear.
I wonder what your dad will think when he finds out
the office his son committed himself to
neglected to test all the evidence.
Mm, that's a good point.
Why do you think I would want to help you?
If you really loved Devina the way you said you did,
wouldn't you do everything in your power to find her killer?
♪
What do you need me to do?
Get us the exculpatory evidence.
Possible exculpatory evidence.
Fine. Before they give it to Frank.
I know you have the police contacts and the access.
We'll test it at my lab, and if we get a hit on AFIS--
I'll cross-reference with criminal records
and police reports.
I can expedite any paperwork through the court.
Hm. This is quite the plan you have.
It certainly is.
Are you in?
[sighs]
ELI: Hey-hey, what's up, Green?
GREEN: Hey-hey, Flint!
I hear congrats are in order. Making sergeant.
Next drink's on the public defender's office.
You guys are too kind to us.
Speaking of the PD's office, I saw the DA on the news today.
That Barlowe case, it's crazy, huh?
Yeah, crazy.
Saw that kid in here a few times.
Hard to believe he's capable of something like that.
Hey, uh, listen.
I was actually hoping you could do me a solid and release
any of the victim's remaining personal items to me.
Technically I'm only supposed to release that to next-of-kin.
I know, but the public defender wanted to extend a courtesy
to the father, get me to drop it off for him.
More of a personal touch.
Get that?
CASEY: Did you get it?
SARAH: Huh, playing games with evidence now.
Oh, believe me, this is no game.
I'm not giving you this until I know what you're doing with it.
We're gonna test every item in that bag,
and you're gonna help us. - [Eli scoffs]
Yeah, that's funny, 'cause I'm not.
If we find any prints on any of those items
that don't match Marcus,
you're the first person that we're gonna look to.
CASEY: So, you have a choice, Eli.
You can work with us, and have a chance to defend yourself,
or you can go out on your own
and let the chips and the prints fall where they may.
I think Choice A is definitely the way.
Yeah.
Got that.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Meet us after class at Sarah's lab?
Well done, ladies.
AMBROSE: Wrongful convictions have increased 70%
in the last five years, and the current rate
is as high as 10% for indicted individuals
who are actually innocent.
But think about it: fingerprints get lost;
detectives, short on time, overlook leads;
faulty lab work; and then the defence comes in
after somebody has already been arrested--
they weren't at the scene;
they're dependent on law enforcement
to preserve evidence and then jurors
to check their bias at the door.
You see where I'm going with this, right?
Look, when people enter the system,
they do so with the best of intentions.
They really want to make a difference,
but at the end of the day, the justice system
is made up of human beings.
And human beings are not perfect.
- PJ? - Then what's the point?
The point is we don't stop trying.
We don't stop fighting.
Because human lives are at stake.
And you can't stop believing that as well.
That's class.
ELI: You failed to mention in your plan
that you were going to test me.
Well, we're just dotting the I's and crossing the T's.
SARAH: You'd be surprised how many guilty people follow along
thinking they'll never get caught.
Ego is a strange thing.
And yours is especially considerable.
For someone that needed my help,
you have an unusual way of showing your gratitude.
CASEY: And there's the ego.
I'm sorry, are you looking for a thank you?
Is that what you're waiting on?
- Yeah, that'd be nice. - Hey, guys--
Because without me, there'd be no evidence to test.
Let me be clear, I'm not doing this for you,
or for Marcus. Despite what you think,
I don't want an innocent person in prison.
If there's a chance that your brother didn't do it,
we need to find out who did.
- Oh, I agree. - Guys...
Do I think you had anything to do with this?
No, I don't.
But if it saves my brother, I don't care if you get caught
in the crossfire if we find out who actually killed her.
SARAH: Guys!
I got prints.
A clean set from her watch.
I'm gonna compare them to Marcus and Eli's prints.
In about 20 minutes, we will know if anyone else
besides Marcus could have been there
the night Devina was murdered.
ELI: I don't know what you think you're gonna find.
I have nothing to hide. CASEY: Good.
Then you wouldn't mind answering some questions while we wait.
Ugh.
So, where were you the night Devina was murdered?
- Come on. - Well, it's an easy question.
You were either with her or you weren't?
- I wasn't with her. - Great.
So, uh, did you see her at all that day?
I will not be interrogated by you.
You two were known for being on-again, off-again,
so were you off... again?
My relationship with Devina is none of your business.
- I beg to differ. - SARAH: Hey, you done yet?
Ugh! The results are in...
The prints from Devina's watch are not a match to you, Eli.
[Eli exhales]
Told ya.
Now do you trust me?
I'm sorry.
Trust is tricky for me.
Um, thank you for your help.
What about Marcus?
They're not a match for him either.
- Oh, thank goodness. - But listen...
All this tells us right now
is that this is a latent set of prints.
This could still lead to nothing.
Or it could lead to the killer.
Either way, it's gonna take some time
to match these sets in the system.
Okay, how much time?
Three days.
Maybe more.
Okay.
What do we do in the meantime?
Hone in on a suspect with the information we have.
BOTH: PJ.
CASEY: Go, go, go, go!
- What? - Just get in the corner!
What? What are you doing?
I just really don't want to see DA Quinn right now, okay?
Why?
'Cause you got something stuck in your teeth?
- Wait, do I? - Yeah.
Oh...
Okay. Okay, funny man.
Look, DA Quinn can't know what we're doing
until we have proof of Marcus's innocence.
Right.
So I shouldn't call out after him, "Hey, DA Quinn, I--"
No, hey, hey, hey! Not funny.
And not helpful, okay?
Okay, the coast is clear, so we're just gonna...
Okay.
[laughter]
You guys are so great. I love talking to you!
So, let me know how your golf tournament goes, alright?
And you gotta show me pictures of your grandbabies,
and I gotta hear about your swim class, alright?
Uh, alright.
PJ, you're a masterpiece.
Ah, thank you.
- ELI: Question for you. - Yeah?
Can you quickly locate criminal records
similar to Devina's case?
- Yeah. - Yeah, but also on the down-low.
Wait...
Something's different.
We just, uh...
came to an understanding.
Can we just go find the documents now?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come...
What's an understanding?
It's an understanding.
It's like when two people, like, agree on a thing.
So, aside from men with a history of female assault,
what else are we looking for here?
Uh, strangulation or attempted strangulation.
And add men who were released by the time Devina was killed.
And women that were bound with boat rope.
PJ: Ah... [murmurs indistinctly]
I'm sorry.
The discovery said she was bound with boat rope.
No, don't be sorry.
The details help narrow the search.
Are you sure you're okay, hearing all this?
Oh, now you're worried about my feelings?
I'm just asking.
I'm fine.
PJ: Bingo bango!
Three names.
ELI: John Lucas Bronson.
Never trust a man with two first names.
Taylor Graham, no middle name.
Must have been a middle child.
ELI: Matthew Alias Cane.
CASEY: Alias?
That's an interesting name.
So, all three fit our criteria,
except none of them used boat rope.
Well, we are off to a sick and scary start.
DA QUINN: Where's my invite to the party?
CASEY: I'm sorry, sir.
I know I should have come to you first.
I found another set of prints.
Can't tell you how I found it,
but I promise I'll explain everything--
Won't be necessary.
For the record, I don't condone it.
Of course not.
Uh, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize my internship
with any conflict of interest--
I think what you should do is just take some time off.
- I don't need time, sir. - It's not a punishment.
It's just that you've gone through a lot,
and you need to take care of yourself...
and whatever else it is that you guys are doing in there.
- Understood. - Yeah?
Thank you.
Yeah.
Also, if my office were to legally re-open Marcus's case,
you and your merry band of interns
would need to produce eyewitness testimony
placing whoever you think did this
at the scene of Devina's crime. Okay?
Or better yet, a full confession.
- Understood. - Good.
I promise we are using the utmost discretion.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Just shh...
Less is more, alright?
- Oh. - Yeah.
- Yeah, okay, thank you. - Yeah, you bet.
ELI: Sarah, did you get that?
It's John Lucas Bronson, Matthew Alias Cane,

Well, first of all, are we in trouble?
No, I'm pretty sure
DA Quinn just gave us his unofficial blessing.

Okay, sweet, well... I know an off-the-record guy.
He can track anyone down.
I'll call him and set something up?

Yeah.

I recognize you.
Um, you were at this trial for a woman who was murdered.
Her body was found there.
Who's asking?
An old friend.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Like I said to the jury, I found her body
when I was taking out the trash, I ran back inside, I called 911.
She seemed nice enough.
She came to the bodega a handful of times,

No. Much older.

Well, I don't think she was seeing him professionally.
Do we tell Eli?

There's no way he could have known.
He would have had to say something to investigators.

I will figure something out.

I was going to stop by your office, though, after class.
We found some physical evidence in discovery
that wasn't admitted at trial.
What's your level of confidence?
100%.
It's a set of latent prints lifted off of Devina's watch.
Hm, those could be anyone's.
True, but what if I told you that Devina may have been
in a relationship with an older man?
Continue.
The same eyewitness that ID'd Marcus at the crime scene
was able to say he'd seen Devina with this man several times.

that you might be onto something.
LIAM: Where'd you get this?
I can't tell you. But it's from a reliable source.
I mean, personally, if I was conducting
an unsanctioned search for evidentiary proof
to reopen a wrongful conviction case--
Which is exactly what we're doing.
I would do it just like this.
Come on, an envelope full of secret collected content?
So sexy.
Or an envelope with a single copy of a newspaper article.
"The body of Philadelphia native, Tammy Monroe, age 22,
"was found two days ago washed ashore on the Delaware River."
I don't remember hearing anything about this.
It's because it's not current.
It's from three years ago.
Huh.
Local developer and philanthropist Kurt Teller
and his wife Rachel have announced a $25,000 reward
for any information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the person responsible for Tammy's murder.
Wait, Monroe was an intern at Teller Developers.
And was a recent hire.
Apparently, Kurt and Rachel were extremely distraught
at her murder.
Yeah, check this out: "My contractor business
"is the firm foundation for my greater development work."
Apparently he's "staunchly committed
"to refurbishing the city."
SARAH: Wow, quite the paradigm of altruism.
Wait a second, zoom in on that image right there.
That's Elmwood.
That's where Marcus lives, where Devina's body was found.
"Urban renewal project."
Okay...
CASEY: Well, this has to be the developer Devina was seen with.
So... whoever sent us this
is telling us if Kurt Teller murdered Tammy Monroe, then...
maybe he killed Devina?
CASEY: And now he's gotten away with it
not only once, but twice.
There was no real evidence
linking Teller to Monroe's murder,
so whoever gave this to you is probably hoping
that we can find that evidence.
I'll look into it.
PJ, can you get me the files from the county
and the investigative reports--
From the detectives on Tammy's murder?
Yep, you bet.
SARAH & LIAM: And Kurt and Rachel Teller's testimonies.
CASEY: Uh, okay, well, it's a long shot,
but it's the only shot we've got.
ELI: I don't think it's such a long shot.
Wow, I don't know whether I should be impressed
or tell you to go out the way you came in.
Casey, can I talk to you for a second?
No.
Whatever you want to say to me, you can say to the group.
It's not what you think it is.
Only guilty people say things like that.
Devina had been off for months.
She was clearly having a relationship with someone else!
- You had to have known. - I didn't know.
I just...
I had a feeling.
You're one of the smartest in our class.
I have a hard time believing you're that dumb in love.
Did you ever even ask her about it?
No, I...
I didn't want to come off as insecure or paranoid.
Same reason I didn't say anything to the cops,
if that's what you're gonna ask next.
I didn't want to send them on a wild goose chase.
When was the last time you saw her?
The day before she died.
Why did you come back?
To help.
And to apologize.
Well, in that case...
I'm sorry.
I should've told you the truth when you asked.
PJ: Hmm.
I mean, I...
I should've told you the truth before you asked.
One more question...
for now.
How do you know Kurt Teller
if you didn't know Devina was seeing him?
Because my dad's done business with him.
And let me tell you guys, he is not a nice guy.
He's got friends in all the right places,
so we need to be careful.
- We? - Yeah, we.
If Kurt did this, I need to be part of taking him down.
And getting Marcus an exoneration, right?
Yes, of course-- Casey, of course.

Okay, look...
Like it or not, he knows how to work evidence.
There's no one in our entire law school class

weird or concerning, call me.

It's pretty dire, so allow me to summarize.
Not bound, no prints found on her body,

That's only a one-out-of-three match to Devina, then.
Investigative reports on Tammy's apartment
found a cellphone with 17 calls
to the same number on the night she died.
And guess whose name popped up on the testimonies?
Uh, Kurt Teller.
"Tammy had a tumultuous relationship with a boyfriend
"who was in and out of her life.
"A really troubled guy.
"She called me obsessively because she was under duress
"and because we were having an affair."
He admitted to the affair?
How did this never come out in the press?
ELI: Telling you. Friends in high places.
LIAM: Huh, so he admitted to an affair to save his butt.

I dunno, man, maybe my intel's off.
Maybe I'm rusty.
Look, if anything pops up, I will let you know.
Thanks.
LIAM: I swiped both of Kurt's phones,
downloaded the data,
and then popped those back onto the crime scene
before the cops arrived.
What does it matter? He's already dead.
I know, we're not gonna get a confession, okay?
But I still think we have a chance
at a really strong case here with physical evidence.
[phone buzzing]
- Hey, Sarah. - Hey, talk to us.
SARAH: [phone] No one can know I'm sharing this.
Kurt's suicide was staged.
Initial analysis from his trailer shows he was murdered.
- Okay. - Whoa, what?
PJ: Now I'm really confused.
SARAH: I'm not done.
Kurt's prints from his water bottle are not a match
to the latent set on Devina's watch.
Our techs managed to lift prints from Kurt's neck
and several from around the trailer.
I'm gonna stay and run them.
I gotta go.
[call hangs up]
ELI: Case, don't even go there.
Those prints could belong to whoever killed Kurt.
We find that person, we find Devina's killer.
Look, I'm gonna go out, start canvassing the area,
see if there's anything I missed.
You know, Sarah's doing her due diligence on the prints,
and maybe you guys comb through the discovery one more time?
Yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Just keep your head up, okay?
I always find my guy.
ELI: First year in the public defender's office,
this is all I did.
Hot tip for ya-- scan in spurts to stay sharp.
[phone buzzing]
Hey, Sarah.
The prints found on Kurt's neck from the crime scene
are a perfect match to the latent set on Devina's watch.
But hold on, because we have still no record
of who those matching prints belong to.
Great, so that means the person is A) not in the system
and B)...
They could be anywhere or anyone.
ELI: What is it?
What are you seeing?
See if you can find the evidence list,
if your upperclassman ring's on it.
What?
Well, it's not pictured here in the evidence,
but she had it six hours before she was murdered.
Eli?
What's going on? You good?
Yeah, um...
It's...
[exhales]
It's not there, because I have it.
SARAH: [on phone] Are you kidding me?
Sarah, I'm gonna call you back.
- No, no, I want to-- - [call beeps off]
ELI: Can we just...
You said you didn't see her that day.
I know I did, I know. Please, listen.
Six hours before she was murdered,
she was wearing that ring.
The reason it wasn't pictured with the body
and found with the body is because you saw her
sometime in those six hours, and you-- you took the ring.
Can I just please explain myself?
You lied to us, Eli. You lied to us again.
No, but I am telling the truth now.
Why didn't you want anyone to know you saw her that day?
I went to her house to confront her
and then we got into this big fight.
About what?
Eli, answer the question.
She admitted she was in love with someone else!
Okay?
But she wouldn't say who, but said that everyone
would know soon and they were gonna run away together
and there was nothing I could do to stop her.
So I demanded that she give me my ring back, and I left.
That was it.
You tell me.
You tell me right now that you didn't know it was Kurt
this whole time.
No, I swear.
- I don't believe you. - Oh, Casey.
I don't! Did Frank know?
I don't know!
Casey, I-I'm telling you everything...
- No. - ...right now.
Look, look, I didn't-- I didn't say anything before
because I knew that it would make me a suspect,
but I also knew that I didn't kill her!
- How do I know that? - Are you serious?
You just saw her the night she was murdered!
Okay, you knew-- you knew she was having an affair,
so you have a motive, and you have been lying to us
this entire time!
No, look, if I am guilty of anything,
it's of protecting myself.
I cannot believe that I gave you a second chance.
Oh, Casey, come on. Please, please...
- You need to leave, Eli. - Casey, please.
- Eli, get out now! - Casey...

Eli had told me that he hadn't seen Devina
the day that she, um...
[phone buzzing]
Uh, really sorry about this.
Um...
Anyway, uh, Eli lied.
It turns out he had seen Devina that day.
And I know I've asked you this before, Frank.
I know, and I just...
I really need you to just try and remember
and be honest with me.
Did she ever say anything about...
someone else?
Or, or breaking up with Eli, or running away with them,
or...?

♪
Frank, I-I'm... I'm sorry. I really gotta take this.
I'll be fast.
Liam, what do you need?
LIAM: [phone] I checked the footage on my cameras
at Kurt's place. You will never believe
who I pegged outside just before Kurt's murder.
Wait, hold on, I'm gonna send you a video.
I'll wait.
[phone buzzes]
[dramatic music]
LIAM: I bet those latent prints belong to Frank!
Oh my God, Frank killed Kurt.
[dramatic music]
So you figured it out?
Frank...
One day, you'll be a parent, and you'll know
what it feels like to love someone so much
that if someone hurts them,
you do anything to make them pay.
I'm sure I would have done the exact same thing.
Frank, how did you know it was Kurt?
I didn't.
Until recently.
If I did, I...
I could've saved her.
Before Devina was killed,
she was acting like a different person.
I thought I was losing my daughter.
And so I confronted her, and that's when she told me
that she was in love, but she wouldn't say who.
Whoever he was, I knew he was to blame,
so I tried to convince her to stop seeing him,
to focus on herself, but she was leaving to go be with him!
So I grabbed her wrist.
This was the last time I saw her alive.
Frank, you did everything you could to try and save her.
I wish that was true.
Even after she was murdered,
I was convinced it was your brother too.
But then I saw you in the cafe.
I couldn't shake what you said.
So I snooped through her stuff,
and that's when I found out about Kurt.
There was a picture of the two of them on her bedside table,
and a few notes that she kept from him.
So I followed him.
And when I saw that he got into that trailer,
I realized how close he was to where she was killed.
I paid him a visit.
You confronted Kurt?
Yeah, I didn't want to hurt him.
I only wanted to know the truth.
But when I asked him if he killed my daughter,
with that smug look on his face, he said,
"Your daughter was delusional!
"She was threatening to blow up our lives!"
And I was recording it on my phone, and he saw it,
and he attacked me.
And before I knew it, I had my hands around his throat.
I wanted to see his life squeezed out of him.
Just like he had done to my daughter.
He used her and he threw her away like trash.
Like she was nothing.
And she was my everything.
[crying]
FRANK: I'm never gonna see her again.
It's okay.
Frank, I'm sorry.
I know. I know.
I'm so sorry, Frank.
♪
LIAM: You're okay?
I don't think "okay" is something I'm ever gonna be.
Hey, um, you know, if it helps,
with Kurt's confession,
Frank will probably get off on self-defence.
That actually does help.
Thank you.
How did you find me?
You never hung up, so I tracked you.
Thanks. Um...
[phone buzzing]
It's Rachel's assistant.
They're probably calling to cancel the appointment
this afternoon.
This is Mia.
You're calling to confirm the appointment this afternoon?
- [in a whisper] Keep it. - Why?
Just say you'll be there.
I will be there, yes.
Thank you.
What is going on?
Why-- why would I keep this appointment?
Why would she keep it? Her husband just died.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Um...
Tell everyone to meet at the loft, like now.
Uh, not Eli. He's out.
Well, he's gotta be back in.
I'm sorry, I'll explain everything to you
when we get there.
LIAM: I knew there was something kooky about Rachel,
so I went through the data on Kurt's phones.
I didn't get a chance to tell any of you guyses,
because, you know, I was saving Casey's life.
You didn't save my life.
I... you know.
I was ready to. - Yeah...
Anywho, Kurt only contacted other women on his second phone,
but his calls and his texts from Rachel were on his first phone.
But the night that Devina was murdered,
Devina got texts from Kurt's actual phone, his first phone,
asking her to come to his trailer.
Why would Kurt contact Devina on his actual phone
that he never used for other women on that specific night?
Because it wasn't him.
It was Rachel.
Ding, ding, ding! A+, Casey.
She had access, she had motive.
Liam, do you happen to have a copy of Kurt's confession?
CASEY: Oh, you legend.
KURT: [audio] Your daughter was delusional.
She was threatening to blow up our lives.
Kurt never said he killed Devina.
He just alluded that she got what she deserved.
And we were focused on Kurt the entire time.
Mm-hm.
That's why I always say, always follow the wife.
But there's still no solid evidence connecting Rachel
to the murder, guys.
And unless we get an eyewitness testimony
placing her at the crime, or a confession,
Marcus still stays in prison.
Yeah, exactly.
And that's why Michael and Mia are gonna get her to confess.
No. Just Mia.
She's never gonna confess if you're there.
You're right.
Okay, then. Let's go.

not valuing me and betraying me
