Previously on
"How To Get Away With Murder"...

2
00:00:02,797 --> 00:00:05,411
I'm Jacqueline Roa, Isaac's ex-wife.

3
00:00:05,436 --> 00:00:07,398
Your situation is triggering him.

4
00:00:07,531 --> 00:00:09,078
Did you give Stella those drugs?

5
00:00:09,125 --> 00:00:10,358
Jacqueline, this is Annalise Keating!

6
00:00:10,392 --> 00:00:12,078
I swear to God, put the phone down!

7
00:00:12,203 --> 00:00:13,429
Ask him about Stella.

8
00:00:13,512 --> 00:00:15,062
How'd you know Christophe?

9
00:00:15,898 --> 00:00:17,695
Get the hell out of here!

10
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,945
You have more than enough plaintiffs.

11
00:00:18,970 --> 00:00:20,640
I want to make him my face case!

12
00:00:20,665 --> 00:00:22,399
- He's in.
- There's no chance in hell

13
00:00:22,424 --> 00:00:24,179
the Supreme Court is
going to hear this case!

14
00:00:24,204 --> 00:00:26,351
- You just need to ask for help!
- Olivia Pope?

15
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:30,062
The Department of Justice

16
00:00:30,087 --> 00:00:32,960
recommends a maximum
of 150 cases at a time,

17
00:00:32,979 --> 00:00:35,981
but the PD's in Pennsylvania
carry a load of over 200.

18
00:00:36,015 --> 00:00:38,517
This is an issue for the
state legislature, Ms. Keating.

19
00:00:38,551 --> 00:00:40,652
Public defenders need to
demand better funding.

20
00:00:40,686 --> 00:00:43,188
But the money isn't there,
thus leading to long-term,

21
00:00:43,222 --> 00:00:45,771
systematic violations
of the Sixth Amendment.

22
00:00:45,796 --> 00:00:48,193
But the justices in Pennsylvania
wrote that forcing counties

23
00:00:48,227 --> 00:00:51,179
to provide more funding violates
the separation of powers.

24
00:00:51,204 --> 00:00:52,570
In Johnson v. Zerbst,

25
00:00:52,595 --> 00:00:55,267
this Court established
Sixth Amendment violations,

26
00:00:55,301 --> 00:00:57,502
not as a states' issue or federal issue,

27
00:00:57,537 --> 00:00:58,865
but a human-rights issue.

28
00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:01,606
Believe me, Noah, I am thrilled

29
00:01:01,641 --> 00:01:03,508
for any chance to argue a case

30
00:01:03,543 --> 00:01:05,043
in front of our nation's greatest court.

31
00:01:05,078 --> 00:01:06,511
You've won four cases there before.

32
00:01:06,546 --> 00:01:09,114
Because I study the Court
and its nuances,

33
00:01:09,148 --> 00:01:11,016
and the only reason they agreed
to even hear this case

34
00:01:11,050 --> 00:01:12,356
is because Ms. Keating has made friends

35
00:01:12,368 --> 00:01:13,585
with some very influential people.

36
00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:15,515
You're referring to
President Fitzgerald Grant?

37
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:16,873
Amongst others.

38
00:01:16,883 --> 00:01:19,551
I can't believe that you're on a
first-name basis with Olivia Pope.

39
00:01:19,585 --> 00:01:21,467
I know her name.
I doubt she remembers mine.

40
00:01:21,492 --> 00:01:23,766
Look, I'm just saying we all
have enough to feel guilty about

41
00:01:23,791 --> 00:01:25,359
without you adding that to the pile.

42
00:01:27,132 --> 00:01:28,232
What does that mean?

43
00:01:28,257 --> 00:01:29,717
"We all have enough
to feel guilty about"?

44
00:01:29,742 --> 00:01:32,132
Simon, Wes, all the murder.

45
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:35,326
Look. It's nice that you feel bad

46
00:01:35,351 --> 00:01:36,952
about stealing the case from Connor,

47
00:01:36,986 --> 00:01:38,787
but it was your idea
to on-board the Pope.

48
00:01:38,812 --> 00:01:40,459
And besides, what were
you supposed to do?

49
00:01:40,484 --> 00:01:43,171
Tell AK to send Connor
to D.C. instead of you?

50
00:01:43,196 --> 00:01:46,085
I mean, what kind of lean-out
crap would that be? Hmm?

51
00:01:48,598 --> 00:01:49,873
Of course you get to be mad.

52
00:01:49,898 --> 00:01:52,359
Class action was never about me.
It's about the plaintiffs.

53
00:01:52,384 --> 00:01:55,386
Well, then, prove it and come
to D.C. with the rest of us.

54
00:01:55,731 --> 00:01:57,992
I have to beg the dean
to let me re-enroll.

55
00:01:59,609 --> 00:02:02,344
This is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to watch Annalise

56
00:02:02,378 --> 00:02:04,234
yell at a bunch of old white dudes!

57
00:02:04,492 --> 00:02:06,515
And we could check out the monuments

58
00:02:06,549 --> 00:02:08,960
and go look for closet cases
on the Hill.

59
00:02:08,985 --> 00:02:10,882
- Okay, fine. I'll go.
- Yay!

60
00:02:12,148 --> 00:02:13,609
Field trip! Mwah!

61
00:02:14,554 --> 00:02:15,703
Yay.

62
00:02:15,898 --> 00:02:17,759
These Sixth Amendment violations

63
00:02:17,794 --> 00:02:19,194
are a form of disenfranchisement,

64
00:02:19,229 --> 00:02:21,023
primarily affecting people of color.

65
00:02:21,048 --> 00:02:23,999
Are you implying that
the Commonwealth intended

66
00:02:24,033 --> 00:02:27,035
its denial of state funding to
have a racially biased effect?

67
00:02:27,070 --> 00:02:29,471
I'm not implying it.
I'm flat-out stating it.

68
00:02:29,505 --> 00:02:31,840
6.5% of Americans are black men,

69
00:02:31,874 --> 00:02:34,142
and yet they account for 40%
of the prison population.

70
00:02:34,177 --> 00:02:36,345
Stop. You list those
statistics in your brief.

71
00:02:36,379 --> 00:02:37,846
Refer the Justices there

72
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,315
so you don't waste a second
of your 30 minutes.

73
00:02:40,350 --> 00:02:43,018
I can't say it enough...
every word matters.

74
00:02:47,234 --> 00:02:48,406
Annalise!

75
00:02:49,554 --> 00:02:50,734
Oh, sorry.

76
00:02:52,195 --> 00:02:55,015
I thought they stopped
the investigation into Isaac.

77
00:02:55,656 --> 00:02:56,698
They did.

78
00:02:56,906 --> 00:02:59,501
Then why can't we get
his testimony reinstated?

79
00:03:00,929 --> 00:03:03,472
Isaac isn't a reliable expert anymore.

80
00:03:03,506 --> 00:03:05,953
- Why not?
- That's all I can tell you.

81
00:03:05,978 --> 00:03:08,143
But even if our states could find

82
00:03:08,177 --> 00:03:09,878
more funding for public defenders,

83
00:03:09,912 --> 00:03:11,812
what about using that money
for our schools?

84
00:03:11,906 --> 00:03:13,482
Or housing for the homeless?

85
00:03:13,516 --> 00:03:16,035
What about the millions of children
in the foster-care system that

86
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:18,186
- are wards of the state?
- I'm sorry you're not there with her.

87
00:03:18,221 --> 00:03:20,555
Or women who depend on state funds

88
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:22,357
to escape battered housing.

89
00:03:22,392 --> 00:03:24,092
And let's not forget...

90
00:03:24,127 --> 00:03:26,928
my opposing counsel was just
a criminal defendant herself.

91
00:03:26,963 --> 00:03:29,264
Ms. Keating was cleared of all charges.

92
00:03:29,299 --> 00:03:31,500
In fact, she says that it was
her own experience in jail

93
00:03:31,534 --> 00:03:33,268
that inspired this class action.

94
00:03:33,303 --> 00:03:34,903
Well, I would make up that story, too,

95
00:03:34,937 --> 00:03:36,171
if I were in her shoes.
Look what just came.

96
00:03:36,205 --> 00:03:38,240
Ohh. Is he trying to win you back?

97
00:03:38,274 --> 00:03:39,843
It's for you.

98
00:03:40,015 --> 00:03:41,610
...agree that it's beneficial
to rid our prisons

99
00:03:41,644 --> 00:03:43,245
of people who don't deserve...

100
00:03:43,279 --> 00:03:46,415
...draw the line between guilty...

101
00:03:46,449 --> 00:03:50,640
Hmm. You should hide that before
I find a way to shotgun it.

102
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,187
Explain to me how

103
00:03:52,221 --> 00:03:54,423
someone who was just fired
from teaching the law

104
00:03:54,457 --> 00:03:56,525
can be entrusted to change it.
It's ludicrous.

105
00:03:56,559 --> 00:03:58,260
She's trying to get in your head.

106
00:03:58,294 --> 00:03:59,389
I've heard worse.

107
00:03:59,414 --> 00:04:01,414
And then, there is Olivia Pope,

108
00:04:02,148 --> 00:04:04,633
a woman well known for
finding ways around the law,

109
00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:05,937
not protecting it.

110
00:04:06,269 --> 00:04:09,104
So my concern is that these two women,

111
00:04:09,138 --> 00:04:10,773
claiming to fight for the poor,

112
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:13,141
might actually just be using this case

113
00:04:13,176 --> 00:04:15,335
to distract us from
their own criminal acts.

114
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,703
Let's not go below the belt.

115
00:04:18,181 --> 00:04:20,315
Uh, talk to me about some of your...

116
00:04:21,718 --> 00:04:23,304
It's kill or be killed.

117
00:04:24,670 --> 00:04:26,078
You do know that.

118
00:04:27,323 --> 00:04:29,421
I know it, and I look forward to it.

119
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,609
Let's get back to work.

120
00:04:40,575 --> 00:04:42,617
I got something good
to tell you for once.

121
00:04:43,773 --> 00:04:45,773
There's no such thing as good in here.

122
00:04:45,867 --> 00:04:47,642
Annalise appealed the state's decision,

123
00:04:47,677 --> 00:04:50,226
and the Supreme Court
agreed to hear your case.

124
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,181
That means she needs you
at the table with her.

125
00:04:53,216 --> 00:04:56,651
No way the warden's gonna
approve me leaving here.

126
00:04:56,686 --> 00:04:57,886
He already approved it.

127
00:04:59,522 --> 00:05:01,343
You're going to the Supreme Court.

129
00:05:28,985 --> 00:05:30,601
Jacqueline won't stop calling me.

130
00:05:30,626 --> 00:05:32,539
- Okay.
- No, it's not okay.

131
00:05:32,564 --> 00:05:33,688
Have you heard anything?

132
00:05:33,723 --> 00:05:35,624
Denver's not gonna re-open Isaac's case.

133
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:36,851
How are you feeling?

134
00:05:37,054 --> 00:05:38,193
Fine.

135
00:05:38,227 --> 00:05:39,795
You're allowed to be a little nervous.

136
00:05:39,829 --> 00:05:42,464
I'm not nervous. I just want to win.

137
00:05:42,498 --> 00:05:43,796
You're going to.

138
00:05:45,334 --> 00:05:47,836
Did you invite your mom?
Bonnie, she'd pee herself

139
00:05:47,870 --> 00:05:49,507
right in the middle
of the Supreme Court.

140
00:05:49,585 --> 00:05:51,239
You think that's what
I want to be worrying about

141
00:05:51,274 --> 00:05:52,562
at the podium?

142
00:06:35,369 --> 00:06:36,664
Good news.

143
00:06:40,223 --> 00:06:42,414
Ingrid Egan's interview

144
00:06:42,484 --> 00:06:45,393
had the opposite effect
of what she intended.

145
00:06:45,546 --> 00:06:49,698
So now the ACLU, the NAACP,
and Public Counsel

146
00:06:49,875 --> 00:06:52,226
are all offering to come on board.

147
00:06:52,341 --> 00:06:53,492
No.

148
00:06:53,742 --> 00:06:55,904
These are attorneys who have argued

149
00:06:55,938 --> 00:06:57,828
and won many cases in this Court.

150
00:06:57,853 --> 00:07:00,688
Then, how come I'm the one that got
the case this far and not them?

151
00:07:05,804 --> 00:07:07,315
Anna Mae Harkness.

152
00:07:07,859 --> 00:07:10,318
Born in Memphis in 1967.

153
00:07:10,353 --> 00:07:13,085
Attended junior college for
two years, then university,

154
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:14,289
then law school,

155
00:07:14,314 --> 00:07:16,843
where she was one of
just 20 women in her class

156
00:07:17,015 --> 00:07:20,898
and one of only two black
students in the entire school.

157
00:07:21,164 --> 00:07:23,331
And in alumnae interview,
she's quoted as saying

158
00:07:23,366 --> 00:07:25,500
a career goal was to argue a case

159
00:07:25,535 --> 00:07:27,015
before the United States Supreme Court.

160
00:07:27,070 --> 00:07:29,015
- And win.
- And win.

161
00:07:31,062 --> 00:07:32,710
What the hell are you saying?

162
00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:35,929
If you lose this case,

163
00:07:36,679 --> 00:07:39,147
it'll set criminal-justice
reform back decades.

164
00:07:39,181 --> 00:07:40,482
You don't think I know that?

165
00:07:40,516 --> 00:07:42,289
Then think about accepting some help.

166
00:07:42,718 --> 00:07:44,250
That's all I'm suggesting.

167
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:49,884
Where are you going?

168
00:07:53,195 --> 00:07:54,453
Take a moment.

169
00:07:56,591 --> 00:07:58,070
Soak in the glory.

170
00:07:59,881 --> 00:08:02,328
God knows it won't be
like this on game day.

171
00:08:51,023 --> 00:08:52,953
What is the point
of having a burner phone

172
00:08:52,978 --> 00:08:55,117
if you're just gonna
force me to meet you at work?

173
00:08:55,225 --> 00:08:56,656
I talked to Laurel's mom.

174
00:08:57,608 --> 00:08:58,656
What?

175
00:08:58,681 --> 00:09:01,195
I showed her the photo, and
she just started talking...

176
00:09:01,451 --> 00:09:03,469
about how Laurel called her last year,

177
00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:06,195
told her she was in love
with this guy, Wes.

178
00:09:06,352 --> 00:09:08,066
Don't tell me you believe any of this.

179
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:09,667
I'm just telling you what she told me,

180
00:09:09,702 --> 00:09:11,569
which is that she had
Dominick set up a meeting

181
00:09:11,604 --> 00:09:12,704
between her and the puppy

182
00:09:12,738 --> 00:09:15,507
so she could pay him 100K
to stay away from Laurel.

183
00:09:17,743 --> 00:09:18,953
That doesn't make sense.

184
00:09:18,978 --> 00:09:20,922
Especially since I can't find the money.

185
00:09:22,047 --> 00:09:22,947
No.

186
00:09:22,982 --> 00:09:25,727
Just look into Wes' old bank
account, see if there's money there.

187
00:09:25,752 --> 00:09:29,078
And when there's not?
You'll finally tell Laurel?

188
00:09:30,059 --> 00:09:31,242
Okay.

189
00:09:33,628 --> 00:09:35,148
I'll let you know what I find.

190
00:09:45,738 --> 00:09:47,328
So, have we made a decision?

191
00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:48,633
I have.

192
00:09:50,264 --> 00:09:52,365
I'm doing it. On my own.

193
00:09:53,805 --> 00:09:54,961
Good.

194
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,219
I'm not in the mood to make new friends.

195
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,609
Unfortunately, it appears

196
00:09:59,634 --> 00:10:01,406
our opposing counsel is all about it.

197
00:10:01,431 --> 00:10:03,788
- What does that mean?
- I got word Ingrid Egan

198
00:10:03,823 --> 00:10:06,422
is trading information
with one of the Justices.

199
00:10:06,447 --> 00:10:08,273
- Which Justice?
- We don't know.

200
00:10:08,672 --> 00:10:10,695
I tasked Marcus and
Michaela to find out.

201
00:10:12,593 --> 00:10:13,695
You expecting company?

202
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,484
Oh. My parents. Give me a second
to get rid of them.

203
00:10:19,172 --> 00:10:21,477
Diana Ross!

204
00:10:23,321 --> 00:10:25,289
I just mean that my baby

205
00:10:25,314 --> 00:10:28,086
is singing with the Supremes!

206
00:10:29,406 --> 00:10:31,583
They got you set up
in the fancy suite, huh?

207
00:10:31,617 --> 00:10:33,555
I put myself in this fancy suite.

208
00:10:33,937 --> 00:10:35,117
Who's this?

209
00:10:35,407 --> 00:10:38,209
Olivia Pope. I'm working with
your daughter on her case.

210
00:10:38,243 --> 00:10:39,710
Wait a minute. What'd
you say your name was?

211
00:10:39,744 --> 00:10:41,742
- Mama.
- I didn't ask you.

212
00:10:41,937 --> 00:10:43,961
I asked her. What's your name, baby?

213
00:10:44,109 --> 00:10:45,382
Olivia Pope.

214
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,453
I'm just messing
with you. I know who you are.

215
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:52,561
Didn't I tell you, the lady
from the TV was gonna be here!

216
00:10:52,586 --> 00:10:55,406
- It's an honor to meet you, Miss Pope.
- The honor is all mine, sir.

217
00:10:55,641 --> 00:10:58,311
All right. I got you set up
in a room down the hall.

218
00:10:58,336 --> 00:11:00,805
- Just... Let's get you settled.
- Not before you get some food in you.

219
00:11:00,830 --> 00:11:03,766
I fixed some stew and
biscuits this morning.

220
00:11:03,797 --> 00:11:06,992
- Mama, we got work to do.
- But you need fuel for that work.

221
00:11:07,305 --> 00:11:09,039
Get out the Tupperware, Daddy.

222
00:11:09,508 --> 00:11:11,289
Already on it.

223
00:11:24,805 --> 00:11:26,852
Michaela, this is a stakeout.

224
00:11:27,172 --> 00:11:29,062
Two sets of eyes are better than one.

225
00:11:29,094 --> 00:11:31,075
Our opposing counsel isn't
stupid enough to have

226
00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:34,391
a Supreme Court Justice visit her
house in the middle of the day.

227
00:11:34,563 --> 00:11:36,508
Are you calling my plan stupid?

228
00:11:42,383 --> 00:11:43,797
I have a boyfriend, Marcus.

229
00:11:43,822 --> 00:11:45,766
- Asher. I know.
- I know you know.

230
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,047
Which is why I need to make it clear

231
00:11:48,130 --> 00:11:50,498
because I love Asher very much,

232
00:11:50,688 --> 00:11:54,591
even though you are obviously
charming and intelligent

233
00:11:54,616 --> 00:11:56,183
and everything I ever
thought I wanted in a man.

234
00:11:57,484 --> 00:11:59,103
- Okay.
- Good.

235
00:11:59,492 --> 00:12:00,734
Every minute we wait,

236
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:02,211
traffic's only getting worse, Asher.

237
00:12:02,236 --> 00:12:04,139
- I'm moving my tush!
- Or we could just not go.

238
00:12:04,164 --> 00:12:06,344
We already lost our tickets
to Annalise's parents, so...

239
00:12:06,378 --> 00:12:07,373
We'll get tickets as long as we get

240
00:12:07,385 --> 00:12:08,508
up at the crack of dawn for the line.

241
00:12:08,533 --> 00:12:11,437
Plus, I have the perfect thing
for us to do while we wait.

242
00:12:11,633 --> 00:12:13,914
- Wedding planning.
- We're not having a wedding.

243
00:12:13,939 --> 00:12:15,687
Uh, you are, too.
I witnessed the proposal.

244
00:12:15,721 --> 00:12:17,583
We're getting married. We're just not

245
00:12:17,595 --> 00:12:19,469
wasting money on a DJ and bad cake.

246
00:12:19,725 --> 00:12:22,711
That sounds like some
internalized homophobia to me.

247
00:12:22,758 --> 00:12:23,995
Hey.

248
00:12:24,029 --> 00:12:25,187
Sorry I'm late.

249
00:12:25,212 --> 00:12:26,984
Laurel, tell Connor and Oliver
they need to have a wedding.

250
00:12:27,009 --> 00:12:28,399
You need to have a wedding.

251
00:12:28,434 --> 00:12:31,135
See? It's the only thing giving
anyone any J-O-Y right now.

252
00:12:31,170 --> 00:12:32,970
Can we please debate this in the car?

253
00:12:33,005 --> 00:12:34,706
95's already really, really red.

254
00:12:35,242 --> 00:12:36,461
Okay.

255
00:12:39,305 --> 00:12:41,383
I tell you. I've seen them everywhere.

256
00:12:42,219 --> 00:12:43,981
Women, women everywhere.

257
00:12:44,141 --> 00:12:46,508
The grocery stores, doctor's office,

258
00:12:46,533 --> 00:12:48,320
church, everywhere.

259
00:12:49,164 --> 00:12:52,690
It's because cops keep
sending the men off to jail.

260
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:56,922
No wonder Anna Mae ran off
and married a white man.

261
00:12:56,947 --> 00:12:58,766
Okay. Lunch is over.

262
00:12:58,791 --> 00:13:02,734
I'm just saying, thank God
for both of you, mm?

263
00:13:03,712 --> 00:13:08,227
This country's been broken
for damn near my whole life.

264
00:13:08,697 --> 00:13:09,773
Huh?

265
00:13:09,844 --> 00:13:12,076
I'm just grateful to see somebody

266
00:13:12,336 --> 00:13:13,906
who can possibly fix it.

267
00:13:13,931 --> 00:13:15,633
Your daughter deserves
most of the credit

268
00:13:15,658 --> 00:13:17,526
for this case, Mrs. Harkness.

269
00:13:17,664 --> 00:13:18,716
And you deserve credit

270
00:13:18,751 --> 00:13:21,352
for being smart enough
to team up with her.

271
00:13:23,047 --> 00:13:24,616
What's wrong? Is it your father?

272
00:13:24,641 --> 00:13:26,006
They're driving him down in the morning.

273
00:13:26,031 --> 00:13:27,422
I just came to see how you're feeling.

274
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:28,993
Nathaniel.

275
00:13:29,969 --> 00:13:31,028
Miss Ophelia.

276
00:13:31,063 --> 00:13:33,164
- How good to see you.
- So good to see you again, too.

277
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:34,164
Sir.

278
00:13:34,189 --> 00:13:36,422
Oh, you know better than
to call me that, son.

279
00:13:36,633 --> 00:13:39,055
Olivia, Nathaniel Lahey.

280
00:13:39,696 --> 00:13:40,796
You can call me Nate.

281
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:41,961
Nate Lahey?

282
00:13:42,216 --> 00:13:44,922
Not the face-case guy. I'm his son.

283
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,133
Our face case is your
ex-boyfriend's father?

284
00:13:51,158 --> 00:13:52,735
And your ex-boyfriend was the president,

285
00:13:52,747 --> 00:13:54,018
and you don't hear me judging.

286
00:13:54,052 --> 00:13:55,523
These people we're up
against, they're looking for

287
00:13:55,548 --> 00:13:57,187
anything to crucify us.

288
00:13:57,212 --> 00:13:59,190
- Us or me?
- You heard that woman on the news.

289
00:13:59,224 --> 00:14:00,925
I am as much a target here as you.

290
00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:02,664
Is that why you asked me to
bring on those other lawyers?

291
00:14:02,689 --> 00:14:05,658
- I left that decision to you.
- And I made it as I saw fit.

292
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,898
Now I'm going back inside.

293
00:14:07,923 --> 00:14:09,812
To work or to eat your mama's stew?

294
00:14:12,656 --> 00:14:13,938
You're terrified, huh?

295
00:14:14,172 --> 00:14:16,719
Having to rely on my messy ass
to save your reputation.

296
00:14:16,744 --> 00:14:18,312
Your reputation.

297
00:14:18,453 --> 00:14:19,695
And I don't understand

298
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,227
how inviting distraction into your life

299
00:14:22,252 --> 00:14:25,588
the day before the biggest case
of your career is a good idea.

300
00:14:25,613 --> 00:14:26,977
That distraction is my family.

301
00:14:27,002 --> 00:14:28,920
- What about your plaintiffs' families?
- You know what?

302
00:14:28,954 --> 00:14:31,039
I let you do your thing, but
this is my world, my rules.

303
00:14:31,064 --> 00:14:32,984
So stop worrying about
me being prepared.

304
00:14:33,009 --> 00:14:34,055
I am worried.

305
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,461
About me losing or
it reflecting badly on you?

306
00:14:38,187 --> 00:14:39,297
Both.

307
00:14:41,641 --> 00:14:42,967
You know, this isn't about

308
00:14:43,001 --> 00:14:44,930
a bucket list or saving my reputation.

309
00:14:46,225 --> 00:14:49,187
It's about knowing that I've
done something that matters.

310
00:14:50,602 --> 00:14:52,109
And I know that you want it, too,

311
00:14:52,144 --> 00:14:53,812
because I can see it in you.

312
00:14:54,758 --> 00:14:56,514
That's why I asked my family to be here

313
00:14:56,548 --> 00:14:57,953
and why I asked you to be here.

314
00:14:59,406 --> 00:15:02,766
Because winning this case
will matter to me like...

315
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:08,367
...nothing in my life ever has.

316
00:15:09,828 --> 00:15:11,445
So stop worrying about me.

317
00:15:12,295 --> 00:15:13,617
Stop handling me

318
00:15:14,782 --> 00:15:17,555
and let me do my job
the best way I know how.

319
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:24,344
Okay.

320
00:15:40,344 --> 00:15:41,625
What's Asher saying?

321
00:15:41,716 --> 00:15:43,125
They're almost here.

322
00:15:43,812 --> 00:15:45,922
So go. You can meet them.
I can do this solo.

323
00:15:49,681 --> 00:15:51,047
What's wrong with you, Marcus?

324
00:15:51,603 --> 00:15:52,625
Huh?

325
00:15:53,273 --> 00:15:54,562
Are you an egomaniac?

326
00:15:54,711 --> 00:15:56,742
Do you wear sock with sandals?
Or is it a micropenis?

327
00:15:56,767 --> 00:16:01,047
Because it makes no sense
why you don't have someone.

328
00:16:03,382 --> 00:16:05,781
Or maybe you do and
you just haven't told me.

329
00:16:11,615 --> 00:16:12,953
There was someone,

330
00:16:14,359 --> 00:16:16,828
but she had a chance to do
something great without me.

331
00:16:17,211 --> 00:16:19,273
And I couldn't hold her back from that.

332
00:16:27,239 --> 00:16:28,492
I hate you so much.

333
00:17:02,612 --> 00:17:04,909
The guards will bring
you in before court starts.

334
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,987
It'll be crowded... full gallery.

335
00:17:07,998 --> 00:17:10,565
Plus all the Justices
and the clerks and...

336
00:17:10,590 --> 00:17:12,393
You say that like you think
I'm gonna flip out in there.

337
00:17:12,418 --> 00:17:14,042
I just want you to be prepared.

338
00:17:14,067 --> 00:17:17,721
I've sit quiet for 30 years. I got this.

339
00:17:18,262 --> 00:17:19,299
Okay.

340
00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:22,221
No good?

341
00:17:56,073 --> 00:17:59,112
Can't believe they let you
bring a blade around me.

342
00:17:59,271 --> 00:18:00,565
Just hold still.

343
00:18:15,018 --> 00:18:17,486
Tell me you slept better
than I did last night.

344
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,284
Sleep's overrated.

345
00:18:35,151 --> 00:18:37,034
Michaela! Over here!

346
00:18:39,331 --> 00:18:40,346
You made it.

347
00:18:40,406 --> 00:18:42,771
- Yeah. Did you get my text?
- Uh, my phone died.

348
00:18:42,796 --> 00:18:44,229
How come you didn't come
to the hotel last night?

349
00:18:44,254 --> 00:18:47,112
I stayed up all night with Annalise
helping her prep. It was crazy.

350
00:18:47,479 --> 00:18:49,237
Everyone, this is Marcus...

351
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:50,385
- Walker.
- Yeah.

352
00:18:50,410 --> 00:18:52,526
Former press secretaries
need no introduction.

353
00:18:52,551 --> 00:18:54,502
Asher Millstone, part-time law student,

354
00:18:54,527 --> 00:18:56,487
full-time Michaela's boo.

355
00:18:57,651 --> 00:18:59,174
I hear you guys need tickets.

356
00:18:59,385 --> 00:19:00,471
Let me check with the guard.

357
00:19:00,496 --> 00:19:02,284
I'll come with, in case you need backup.

358
00:19:04,622 --> 00:19:07,409
Michaela, please tell me you didn't.

359
00:19:07,434 --> 00:19:09,120
- She totally did.
- I didn't.

360
00:19:09,145 --> 00:19:11,002
- Didn't what?
- Bang the press secretary.

361
00:19:11,027 --> 00:19:11,893
What?!

362
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:14,370
Former press secretary. And I didn't.

363
00:19:15,823 --> 00:19:17,565
Okay, I did, but it was
a one-time mistake.

364
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:20,112
It meant nothing. Please don't
tell Asher. It'll destroy him.

365
00:19:20,137 --> 00:19:22,479
Destroy him like you destroyed
me when you stole this case?

366
00:19:22,683 --> 00:19:25,627
Hey, guys. Main gallery.

367
00:19:25,956 --> 00:19:27,790
Marcus Walker is the man!

368
00:19:28,004 --> 00:19:29,198
Boo-yah!

369
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:33,370
- Pizza guy.
- What?

370
00:19:34,195 --> 00:19:36,530
The pizza delivery guy
is with Justice Strickland.

371
00:19:40,684 --> 00:19:42,385
Strickland's working with Ingrid.

372
00:19:42,670 --> 00:19:43,804
Oh, my God.

373
00:19:44,034 --> 00:19:47,203
Let's have each of you sign
the Supreme Court guest book.

374
00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:50,049
Your signatures will join
the likes of Thurgood Marshall,

375
00:19:50,271 --> 00:19:52,924
F. Lee Bailey, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

376
00:19:53,784 --> 00:19:54,940
Ms. Egan.

377
00:19:55,232 --> 00:19:56,956
Let Ms. Keating go first.

378
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:59,385
She's never done this before.

379
00:20:02,489 --> 00:20:03,752
Right here.

380
00:20:15,401 --> 00:20:17,776
She has no idea what she's in for.

381
00:20:21,763 --> 00:20:23,448
It's Marcus. I'll be right back.

382
00:20:23,473 --> 00:20:25,948
- Something wrong?
- No. Do your thing.

383
00:20:28,385 --> 00:20:29,885
You didn't tell me you saw a pizza guy.

384
00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:32,221
- What do you think was in the box?
- Strickland's prep questions.

385
00:20:32,246 --> 00:20:33,547
He's a hard-line conservative.

386
00:20:33,572 --> 00:20:34,972
He wants to help Ingrid any way he can.

387
00:20:35,066 --> 00:20:36,399
So Annalise is screwed.

388
00:20:52,959 --> 00:20:54,776
- Hello?
- Annalise.

389
00:20:55,286 --> 00:20:56,635
It's Jacqueline.

390
00:20:58,104 --> 00:21:00,456
I guess I should have
blocked my number days ago.

391
00:21:01,894 --> 00:21:05,127
Um, I've been out of town.

392
00:21:05,152 --> 00:21:06,257
You're in D.C. I know.

393
00:21:06,291 --> 00:21:07,776
Which is why this isn't a good time.

394
00:21:07,801 --> 00:21:10,198
Isaac overdosed, Annalise.

395
00:21:11,018 --> 00:21:13,479
The police found him
in his car three days ago.

396
00:21:15,611 --> 00:21:16,745
Is he dead?

397
00:21:19,810 --> 00:21:22,495
No. But his kidneys are failing.

398
00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:25,971
Do you get why I told you
to stay away now?

399
00:21:26,805 --> 00:21:28,026
This wasn't my fault.

400
00:21:28,051 --> 00:21:29,299
Telling me about Stella

401
00:21:29,324 --> 00:21:31,534
is what sent him to
this place, Annalise.

402
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:32,565
You needed to know.

403
00:21:32,590 --> 00:21:35,292
I already knew.
But now look what you did.

404
00:21:36,501 --> 00:21:39,823
You ruined him, just like you
ruin everyone in your life.

405
00:21:51,726 --> 00:21:53,547
I haven't felt
this bad since Stella died.

406
00:21:53,572 --> 00:21:55,002
I'm with Isaac and he's relapsed

407
00:21:55,027 --> 00:21:56,140
That's because of you.

408
00:21:56,174 --> 00:21:57,642
- His kidneys are failing.
- Ask him about Stella.

409
00:21:57,676 --> 00:21:58,892
You really think I'd be in
this position if it weren't for you?

410
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:00,578
Look what you did. You ruined him...

411
00:22:00,612 --> 00:22:01,779
This wasn't my fault.

412
00:22:01,813 --> 00:22:03,229
...just like you
ruin everyone in your life.

413
00:22:03,635 --> 00:22:07,049
And here I am. I'm just
sucked into your life!

414
00:22:14,714 --> 00:22:17,462
Your boss had you personally
deliver ex facto communications

415
00:22:17,487 --> 00:22:19,946
to Ingrid Egan the night
before oral arguments.

416
00:22:19,971 --> 00:22:22,674
You have no proof of that. I have a
photo of you in a pizza uniform.

417
00:22:23,870 --> 00:22:26,792
- You're bluffing.
- I'm Olivia Pope, Kevin. I don't bluff.

418
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:29,286
Get me in to see Justice Strickland.

419
00:22:31,644 --> 00:22:32,862
Get back here, Kevin!

420
00:22:34,941 --> 00:22:36,065
What is it?

421
00:22:40,581 --> 00:22:42,065
This is because of Strickland.

422
00:22:42,090 --> 00:22:43,138
I didn't get a chance to tell her.

423
00:22:43,163 --> 00:22:44,605
I just walked in, and she was like this.

424
00:22:50,706 --> 00:22:51,862
You okay?

425
00:22:53,962 --> 00:22:55,262
I can't do this.

426
00:22:55,338 --> 00:22:56,471
Of course you can.

427
00:22:56,665 --> 00:22:57,815
You have to.

428
00:22:58,307 --> 00:23:00,917
Annalise, no one else
can do this but you.

429
00:23:00,942 --> 00:23:02,792
No. I can't. All right? It's you.

430
00:23:02,817 --> 00:23:04,979
You have to do this. Please.

431
00:23:10,017 --> 00:23:11,151
No.

432
00:23:11,373 --> 00:23:14,075
No one knows the case as
good as you, I guess.

433
00:23:15,115 --> 00:23:17,338
I don't have standing
with the Court, Annalise.

434
00:23:17,363 --> 00:23:18,431
That's only you.

435
00:23:18,456 --> 00:23:19,972
- Mnh.
- So you need to talk to me.

436
00:23:19,997 --> 00:23:22,643
What do you need to walk
into that courtroom?

437
00:23:22,737 --> 00:23:24,792
Because that needs to happen now.

438
00:23:25,811 --> 00:23:28,182
So tell me what you need,
and I will get it for you.

439
00:23:32,512 --> 00:23:33,620
Vodka.

440
00:23:38,835 --> 00:23:40,018
Okay.

441
00:23:43,633 --> 00:23:45,471
Go to Marcus. Tell him to find vodka.

442
00:23:45,496 --> 00:23:47,395
She's an alcoholic. She'll
get disbarred if she drinks...

443
00:23:47,420 --> 00:23:48,573
- I know.
- That's just in normal court.

444
00:23:48,598 --> 00:23:49,948
- This is the Supreme Court.
- Michaela.

445
00:23:50,362 --> 00:23:53,159
Marcus. Vodka. Go.

446
00:24:17,445 --> 00:24:18,620
I need you.

447
00:24:23,956 --> 00:24:25,315
Something's wrong.

448
00:24:30,026 --> 00:24:31,526
Olivia, what if I fail?

449
00:24:31,551 --> 00:24:32,792
Then you fail.

450
00:24:32,817 --> 00:24:35,792
No, I can't. I can't.
I can't let these people down.

451
00:24:35,817 --> 00:24:37,120
Stop thinking about those people.

452
00:24:37,145 --> 00:24:39,761
You said it yourself.
You're not doing this for them...

453
00:24:40,171 --> 00:24:44,573
for Nate, his father, your mother, me.

454
00:24:44,679 --> 00:24:46,143
You're doing this for you.

455
00:24:47,536 --> 00:24:49,502
You're doing this for you.

456
00:24:51,121 --> 00:24:55,307
And for that little girl who
clawed her way out of Memphis

457
00:24:55,332 --> 00:24:58,377
after always being told
she wasn't good enough.

458
00:25:00,676 --> 00:25:03,627
Three minutes. The countdown isn't
making anyone feel better, Oli.

459
00:25:05,910 --> 00:25:07,174
Oh, God.

460
00:25:09,719 --> 00:25:12,846
I can't believe I'm a grown-ass
woman asking for help.

461
00:25:13,292 --> 00:25:15,460
Well, you're a terrified
grown-ass woman.

462
00:25:18,730 --> 00:25:20,026
And I get that.

463
00:25:20,419 --> 00:25:22,020
What you're about to do is terrifying.

464
00:25:22,045 --> 00:25:23,542
I'm terrified for you.

465
00:25:24,975 --> 00:25:27,651
But, Annalise, this case chose you.

466
00:25:28,094 --> 00:25:32,167
So you need to pick yourself
off of this floor

467
00:25:32,192 --> 00:25:33,627
and walk into that courtroom.

468
00:25:33,652 --> 00:25:36,463
Not for anybody else but for you.

469
00:25:39,831 --> 00:25:41,963
Here. Vodka. We just don't have a cup.

470
00:25:43,690 --> 00:25:45,143
We only have about two minutes.

471
00:25:45,168 --> 00:25:46,182
Get out.

472
00:25:46,272 --> 00:25:48,518
- But...
- You're not helping. Leave.

473
00:25:53,314 --> 00:25:56,391
Whatever it is you think is in
this bottle is already in you.

474
00:25:56,416 --> 00:25:59,487
I know that, but I don't have
time to convince you of that.

475
00:25:59,563 --> 00:26:01,682
So if you think you
need to drink, drink.

476
00:26:16,933 --> 00:26:18,034
Okay.

477
00:26:20,113 --> 00:26:21,213
Okay.

478
00:26:24,389 --> 00:26:25,831
- Okay.
- Okay.

479
00:26:28,014 --> 00:26:29,065
Okay.

480
00:26:29,090 --> 00:26:30,268
- Ready.
- Okay.

481
00:26:33,284 --> 00:26:34,487
Let's go.

482
00:26:35,121 --> 00:26:37,557
- 1 minute, 45 seconds.
- Stop, Oliver.

483
00:26:37,703 --> 00:26:39,003
Oh, here she comes.

484
00:26:41,026 --> 00:26:42,229
Is that him?

485
00:26:52,659 --> 00:26:55,409
Okay, this may not be the
best time to tell you this,

486
00:26:55,471 --> 00:26:58,909
but Strickland's the Justice who's
been feeding Ingrid information.

487
00:26:58,963 --> 00:27:01,018
You need to be ready
for him to gun for you.

488
00:27:01,535 --> 00:27:02,768
Anna Mae!

489
00:27:03,483 --> 00:27:05,862
Listen. You gotta eat something, baby.

490
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:10,987
You can't be keeling over
during a debate contest.

491
00:27:11,070 --> 00:27:13,362
- Please.
- Having a bit of an episode.

492
00:27:13,387 --> 00:27:15,088
Mama, we ate breakfast. Remember?

493
00:27:15,113 --> 00:27:16,690
Just a sip. Just a little sip.
Just... Just...

494
00:27:16,715 --> 00:27:17,995
Okay, okay. Mrs. Harkness.

495
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:21,255
How about I eat with you, and
Anna Mae can go to her debate?

496
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,413
No. Yes. Anna Mae...

497
00:27:22,438 --> 00:27:24,471
- Ophelia, let Anna Mae go.
- I said...

498
00:27:25,125 --> 00:27:26,292
Ohh!

499
00:27:29,686 --> 00:27:31,787
- Annalise, go inside. Go.
- I'm sorry.

500
00:27:32,139 --> 00:27:34,507
It's okay. It's okay, Mrs. Harkness.

501
00:27:34,681 --> 00:27:36,077
- I'm sorry.
- It's just...

502
00:27:36,102 --> 00:27:40,209
29, 28, 27, 26...

503
00:27:42,296 --> 00:27:43,577
There she is.

504
00:27:51,331 --> 00:27:53,264
Thought maybe I'd scared you off.

505
00:27:53,509 --> 00:27:54,670
Not possible.

506
00:27:56,764 --> 00:28:00,116
The Honorable Chief
Justice and the Associate Justices

507
00:28:00,141 --> 00:28:02,397
of the Supreme Court
of the United States.

508
00:28:02,422 --> 00:28:04,891
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!

509
00:28:04,916 --> 00:28:08,030
All persons having business
before the Honorable,

510
00:28:08,055 --> 00:28:10,222
the Supreme Court of the United States,

511
00:28:10,247 --> 00:28:13,361
are admonished to draw near
and give their attention,

512
00:28:13,386 --> 00:28:15,037
for the Court is now sitting.

513
00:28:15,062 --> 00:28:18,100
God save the United States
and this Honorable Court.

514
00:28:25,749 --> 00:28:28,780
Mr. Chief Justice and
may it please the Court...

515
00:28:29,014 --> 00:28:31,778
Until my client, Mr. Nathaniel Lahey,

516
00:28:31,803 --> 00:28:33,005
was 9 years old,

517
00:28:33,030 --> 00:28:35,920
it was illegal for him to sit
at a white-only counter.

518
00:28:36,225 --> 00:28:38,789
That changed when
Brown v. Board of Education

519
00:28:38,824 --> 00:28:40,139
ended segregation.

520
00:28:40,616 --> 00:28:44,462
Until he was 18, he had no right
to free legal counsel.

521
00:28:44,496 --> 00:28:46,662
Gideon v. Wainwright ended that.

522
00:28:46,795 --> 00:28:49,623
At 20, Miranda v. Arizona

523
00:28:49,648 --> 00:28:52,334
stopped the police
from being able to arrest him

524
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:55,530
without informing him
of his right to an attorney.

525
00:28:55,731 --> 00:28:57,952
With each of these landmark decisions,

526
00:28:57,977 --> 00:29:01,405
this Court helped Mr. Lahey
get closer to the equality

527
00:29:01,552 --> 00:29:05,897
that our constitution promises
every citizen in this country.

528
00:29:07,467 --> 00:29:11,123
But he's still not there.
He's still not equal.

529
00:29:12,116 --> 00:29:14,983
Instead, he's the victim
of a broken system.

530
00:29:15,008 --> 00:29:17,756
- A victim?!
- Yes, victim, Your Honor.

531
00:29:17,963 --> 00:29:21,209
Of repeated instances
of Sixth Amendment violations.

532
00:29:21,234 --> 00:29:24,108
Your client is a confessed
murderer, Ms. Keating.

533
00:29:24,133 --> 00:29:27,327
Justice Strickland, my client
was never informed of his right

534
00:29:27,352 --> 00:29:29,920
to appeal the sentence
after his first conviction.

535
00:29:29,945 --> 00:29:31,537
That's how ineffective his counsel was.

536
00:29:31,562 --> 00:29:33,498
This is a version of the
story coming from him?

537
00:29:33,523 --> 00:29:36,303
Every one of the 15 public defenders

538
00:29:36,328 --> 00:29:38,462
that he has had represent him

539
00:29:38,487 --> 00:29:39,514
told him to plead guilty.

540
00:29:39,539 --> 00:29:41,780
You're saying that he was not guilty

541
00:29:41,805 --> 00:29:44,116
- of an of these crimes?
- Thank you.

542
00:29:44,141 --> 00:29:45,889
Without properly funded counsel,

543
00:29:45,914 --> 00:29:48,436
he received sentences longer
than the average man.

544
00:29:48,461 --> 00:29:51,334
And these years in prison
included solitary confinement,

545
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,233
which resulted in mental-health issues

546
00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:55,530
that led to the tragic events
of this murder.

547
00:29:55,555 --> 00:29:58,787
But you just said that
your client was the victim.

548
00:29:58,812 --> 00:30:01,272
The victim of underfunded
public defense system.

549
00:30:01,297 --> 00:30:02,545
Don't interrupt me.

550
00:30:04,093 --> 00:30:06,591
I'm so sorry. Really I am.

551
00:30:06,616 --> 00:30:09,803
I'm fine. Mrs. Harkness, you
need to go watch Anna Mae.

552
00:30:09,828 --> 00:30:12,748
Anna Mae doesn't need her mama
right now. She needs you.

553
00:30:12,819 --> 00:30:15,631
No, I think she'll be fine
all on her own.

554
00:30:15,656 --> 00:30:18,569
Stop yapping and go sit...
sit your butt down.

555
00:30:18,829 --> 00:30:22,665
The only victim in this case
is Gerald Reinhoff,

556
00:30:22,690 --> 00:30:25,373
the man that your client
beat to death in cold blood.

557
00:30:25,398 --> 00:30:27,116
We are not here to try a murder,

558
00:30:27,141 --> 00:30:29,676
but to understand the events
that led up to this murder.

559
00:30:29,701 --> 00:30:31,772
But of all the plaintiffs
that you could've brought us,

560
00:30:31,797 --> 00:30:33,665
you're asking us to feel for a killer?

561
00:30:33,690 --> 00:30:35,139
A man the system made into a killer.

562
00:30:35,164 --> 00:30:36,623
I said don't interrupt.

563
00:30:37,351 --> 00:30:39,219
Now, what is apparent to me

564
00:30:39,244 --> 00:30:40,991
and to several of my fellow Justices...

565
00:30:41,016 --> 00:30:42,256
Let's not speak for the rest of us.

566
00:30:42,281 --> 00:30:43,949
...is that this is a money issue,

567
00:30:43,974 --> 00:30:46,843
one that the legislature
of Pennsylvania can decide.

568
00:30:46,868 --> 00:30:49,678
Except this case is not only
about money, Your Honor.

569
00:30:50,731 --> 00:30:52,303
It's about race.

570
00:30:54,228 --> 00:30:55,842
You're just like Anna Mae.

571
00:30:57,425 --> 00:31:00,733
Always taking care of
everybody else but yourself.

572
00:31:02,494 --> 00:31:04,495
Oh, I see it on the TV.

573
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:11,139
Sometimes, you're standing
next to the man president.

574
00:31:12,780 --> 00:31:14,681
Then the lady president.

575
00:31:16,684 --> 00:31:17,795
Fixin'.

576
00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:20,600
Fixin', fixin', fixin'.

577
00:31:23,146 --> 00:31:27,045
Sometimes that doesn't leave you
any time for yourself.

578
00:31:28,670 --> 00:31:29,959
I know this.

579
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,936
Because I was you.

580
00:31:33,834 --> 00:31:36,795
I mean, not hanging with no presidents

581
00:31:36,820 --> 00:31:38,020
or anything like that.

582
00:31:38,045 --> 00:31:40,928
Just... people needed me.

583
00:31:44,256 --> 00:31:45,998
People needed me.

584
00:31:47,716 --> 00:31:49,084
That's for sure.

585
00:31:53,490 --> 00:31:56,327
Sometimes, I think this whole country

586
00:31:56,352 --> 00:31:58,093
would just fall apart...

587
00:32:00,021 --> 00:32:02,936
if we weren't around to...

588
00:32:04,003 --> 00:32:06,342
clean up all the mess.

589
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,248
Only, this time...

590
00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:18,037
...I made the mess.

591
00:32:19,752 --> 00:32:21,225
- Hmm?
- Mnh.

592
00:32:22,780 --> 00:32:25,069
You were just being a good mom.

593
00:32:27,050 --> 00:32:29,709
One in three black men will go to prison

594
00:32:29,734 --> 00:32:31,780
versus one in 17 white men.

595
00:32:31,805 --> 00:32:34,225
Either you are arguing
that your plaintiffs

596
00:32:34,250 --> 00:32:36,170
are getting ineffective counsel

597
00:32:36,195 --> 00:32:39,616
because of poor funding
or because of their race.

598
00:32:39,641 --> 00:32:40,811
- Which is it?
- Both.

599
00:32:40,836 --> 00:32:43,014
Not all of your plaintiffs
are people of color.

600
00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:44,339
My sample of plaintiffs

601
00:32:44,364 --> 00:32:47,033
matches a racial breakdown
of incarceration.

602
00:32:47,144 --> 00:32:50,248
40% of my plaintiffs are black.
20% are Latino.

603
00:32:50,273 --> 00:32:52,022
If you want us to consider race here,

604
00:32:52,047 --> 00:32:54,334
it would have to be
the determining factor.

605
00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:55,526
It's one of many factors.

606
00:32:55,551 --> 00:32:57,725
But is it the determining factor?

607
00:32:58,063 --> 00:32:59,600
Either it is or it isn't.

608
00:33:08,451 --> 00:33:09,686
Yes.

609
00:33:10,379 --> 00:33:12,248
Race is the determining factor.

610
00:33:12,273 --> 00:33:13,428
Oh.

611
00:33:14,278 --> 00:33:16,287
You did not file this class action

612
00:33:16,312 --> 00:33:18,209
on the grounds of discrimination,

613
00:33:18,375 --> 00:33:21,545
so we cannot consider race
in our decision.

614
00:33:21,570 --> 00:33:22,584
I disagree.

615
00:33:22,609 --> 00:33:24,405
This bench must consider the validity

616
00:33:24,430 --> 00:33:26,373
of Ms. Keating's equal
protection argument.

617
00:33:26,398 --> 00:33:28,553
The impact of a ruling based on race

618
00:33:28,578 --> 00:33:30,459
would have adverse
procedural implications.

619
00:33:30,484 --> 00:33:32,334
That was the argument in Brown v. Board.

620
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:34,483
Segregation was designed
to discriminate.

621
00:33:34,508 --> 00:33:35,725
Can't say the same thing...

622
00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:37,551
Don't lose a second of your 30 minutes.

623
00:33:37,576 --> 00:33:38,702
Every word matters.

624
00:33:38,727 --> 00:33:41,248
...Court decided the effects
of racism were so...

625
00:33:41,273 --> 00:33:42,483
So let us listen to Ms. Keating.

626
00:33:42,508 --> 00:33:43,733
Let me say this again.

627
00:33:43,758 --> 00:33:47,287
Race is not a variable in this case.

628
00:33:47,312 --> 00:33:49,113
Your Honor, I'd like to use

629
00:33:49,138 --> 00:33:51,452
the remainder of my time
to prepare my rebuttal.

630
00:33:51,477 --> 00:33:53,350
The request for rebuttal is granted.

631
00:33:55,813 --> 00:33:59,262
Mr. Chief Justice
and may it please the Court,

632
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:02,717
Ms. Keating has pulled
a bait-and-switch on this Court.

633
00:34:02,742 --> 00:34:05,506
The minute she made race
the determining factor,

634
00:34:05,531 --> 00:34:07,348
she took it out of the
purview of this trial...

635
00:34:07,382 --> 00:34:09,022
Go to the library and
look up this ruling.

636
00:34:09,047 --> 00:34:10,178
- Okay.
- Michaela.

637
00:34:10,203 --> 00:34:11,366
We lose without it.

638
00:34:11,391 --> 00:34:14,358
...race but on the expertise
of the individual attorney.

639
00:34:14,597 --> 00:34:17,899
In Washington v. Davis,
your predecessors decided

640
00:34:17,924 --> 00:34:20,717
that even if a law has
a discriminatory effect,

641
00:34:20,742 --> 00:34:22,880
- it is unconstitutional...
- You did your best.

642
00:34:22,905 --> 00:34:24,287
if that was not its intended purpose.

643
00:34:24,312 --> 00:34:26,334
If that is the precedent that
Ms. Keating wants to challenge,

644
00:34:26,359 --> 00:34:27,858
then that case needed to be built

645
00:34:27,883 --> 00:34:30,077
and argued in the
state appellate courts.

646
00:34:30,102 --> 00:34:32,092
Bryant v. Topeka. Topeka means Kansas,

647
00:34:32,117 --> 00:34:34,030
which means it has to be
in the 10th circuit.

648
00:34:34,055 --> 00:34:36,553
So I'll start with the indexes from '82.

649
00:34:36,578 --> 00:34:38,879
You start with '87, and we'll
meet somewhere in the middle.

650
00:34:39,912 --> 00:34:41,287
Why are you looking at me like that?

651
00:34:41,312 --> 00:34:43,295
Your brain. It's hot.

652
00:34:43,877 --> 00:34:44,967
Focus.

653
00:34:45,472 --> 00:34:46,983
Washington v. Davis was

654
00:34:47,008 --> 00:34:49,037
decided on a technical issue
of the lower courts

655
00:34:49,062 --> 00:34:51,491
for not applying
appropriate legal standards.

656
00:34:51,516 --> 00:34:54,123
While Ms. Keating's
statistics make it clear

657
00:34:54,191 --> 00:34:56,584
that our judicial system
should be reformed,

658
00:34:56,609 --> 00:34:58,577
that is not the duty
of this Court today.

659
00:35:02,217 --> 00:35:05,178
Ms. Keating, we'll now hear
your rebuttal arguments.

660
00:35:27,506 --> 00:35:29,807
"As an arbiter of the law,
with whole knowledge

661
00:35:29,832 --> 00:35:32,162
of historical jurisprudence
in this country,

662
00:35:32,187 --> 00:35:34,584
race must always be
considered a variable."

663
00:35:34,609 --> 00:35:36,475
You have precious time, Ms. Keating.

664
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:38,092
I suggest that you don't waste it

665
00:35:38,117 --> 00:35:40,623
by making arguments you've already made.

666
00:35:40,894 --> 00:35:43,061
These are not my words,
Justice Strickland.

667
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,248
They're yours.

668
00:35:46,008 --> 00:35:50,397
You wrote them in your
1985 ruling in Bryant v. Topeka,

669
00:35:50,665 --> 00:35:52,256
an equal protection case

670
00:35:52,281 --> 00:35:54,686
dealing with a state-housing
lottery program.

671
00:36:00,263 --> 00:36:03,559
Racism is built into the DNA of America.

672
00:36:06,107 --> 00:36:07,949
And as long as we turn a blind eye

673
00:36:07,974 --> 00:36:10,746
to the pain of those suffering
under its oppression,

674
00:36:10,771 --> 00:36:13,379
we will never escape those origins.

675
00:36:15,211 --> 00:36:17,793
The only safeguard people of color have

676
00:36:17,818 --> 00:36:19,402
is the right to a defense,

677
00:36:19,427 --> 00:36:21,192
and we won't even give them that.

678
00:36:21,521 --> 00:36:24,098
Which means that the promise
of civil rights

679
00:36:24,123 --> 00:36:25,543
has never been fulfilled.

680
00:36:27,161 --> 00:36:29,362
Due to the failure
of our justice system,

681
00:36:29,387 --> 00:36:31,692
our public defense system in particular,

682
00:36:32,066 --> 00:36:34,684
Jim Crow is alive and kicking...

683
00:36:35,834 --> 00:36:38,160
laws that made it illegal
for blacks and whites

684
00:36:38,185 --> 00:36:40,168
to be buried in the same cemetery,

685
00:36:40,410 --> 00:36:43,574
that categorized people
into quadroon and octaroons,

686
00:36:43,870 --> 00:36:45,340
that punished a black person

687
00:36:45,365 --> 00:36:47,871
for seeking medical attention
in a white hospital.

688
00:36:51,426 --> 00:36:53,887
Some may claim that slavery has ended.

689
00:36:54,529 --> 00:36:57,097
But tell that to the inmates
who are kept in cages

690
00:36:57,132 --> 00:36:59,582
and told that they don't have
any rights at all.

691
00:37:00,629 --> 00:37:03,003
People like my client, Nathaniel Lahey,

692
00:37:03,038 --> 00:37:04,638
and millions of people like him

693
00:37:04,673 --> 00:37:07,723
who are relegated to
a subclass of human existence

694
00:37:07,748 --> 00:37:08,988
in our prisons.

695
00:37:10,152 --> 00:37:12,988
There is no alternative
to justice in this case.

696
00:37:13,668 --> 00:37:15,590
There is no other option.

697
00:37:16,184 --> 00:37:18,512
To decide against my plaintiff

698
00:37:19,293 --> 00:37:22,510
is to choose lining the pockets
of prison owners

699
00:37:22,535 --> 00:37:26,168
over providing basic defense
for the people who live in them.

700
00:37:28,113 --> 00:37:29,354
And is that the America

701
00:37:29,379 --> 00:37:31,348
that this Court really wants to live in?

702
00:37:32,561 --> 00:37:35,074
Where money is more important
than humanity?

703
00:37:35,537 --> 00:37:38,590
Where criminality is confused
with mental health?

704
00:37:44,018 --> 00:37:47,481
The Sixth Amendment
was ratified in 1791.

705
00:37:48,434 --> 00:37:50,918
It's been 226 years since then.

706
00:37:51,762 --> 00:37:55,817
Let's finally guarantee its
rights to all of our citizens.

707
00:38:10,708 --> 00:38:12,347
The word is Ms. Keating won over

708
00:38:12,372 --> 00:38:13,735
some of the more moderate Justices.

709
00:38:13,778 --> 00:38:16,146
Trying to predict what the Court
will decide is a fool's errand.

710
00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:18,613
Ms. Keating,
what is your response to critics

711
00:38:18,638 --> 00:38:20,809
who say you are attacking
public defenders?

712
00:38:20,834 --> 00:38:22,167
Tell them to see me when they get

713
00:38:22,202 --> 00:38:24,136
more time and money
to argue their cases.

714
00:38:24,170 --> 00:38:25,971
She did catch Justice Strickland

715
00:38:26,005 --> 00:38:27,940
in direct contradiction
of his previous ruling.

716
00:38:27,974 --> 00:38:29,888
Justices are allowed to
evolve in their thinking.

717
00:38:29,913 --> 00:38:32,010
In fact, I think that's called
wisdom. Next question.

718
00:38:32,045 --> 00:38:33,505
Do you think you won in there?

719
00:38:33,536 --> 00:38:36,404
Oh, win or lose, I'd like to
give a shout-out to my team,

720
00:38:36,429 --> 00:38:39,865
and that includes my named
plaintiff, Nathaniel Lahey.

721
00:38:40,220 --> 00:38:41,887
I hope that this is a first step

722
00:38:41,921 --> 00:38:43,989
in getting him the fair
and proper defense

723
00:38:44,023 --> 00:38:47,292
that he never received
during his 33 years in jail.

724
00:38:47,327 --> 00:38:50,128
Dad, I'd like you to
meet Annalise's parents.

725
00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:53,458
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lahey.

726
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:59,171
You're a... very brave man, sir.

727
00:38:59,205 --> 00:39:01,357
Not half as brave as your daughter.

728
00:39:01,708 --> 00:39:02,741
Well, thank you.

729
00:39:05,857 --> 00:39:08,056
I had a great team of smart people

730
00:39:08,081 --> 00:39:09,896
that helped me get this case heard...

731
00:39:09,921 --> 00:39:11,884
several of my former law students,

732
00:39:11,918 --> 00:39:13,505
Connor Walsh in particular,

733
00:39:13,530 --> 00:39:16,564
as well as members
of the Grant Institute

734
00:39:16,589 --> 00:39:19,057
that really pushed the Court
to hear this case.

735
00:39:19,092 --> 00:39:21,505
And that includes someone
that you all know...

736
00:39:22,334 --> 00:39:23,450
Olivia Pope.

737
00:39:25,294 --> 00:39:28,238
Did you know Ms. Pope before working
together on the class action?

738
00:39:28,263 --> 00:39:30,177
Do you see the two of you
working together in the future?

739
00:39:30,202 --> 00:39:31,193
Hey.

740
00:39:31,218 --> 00:39:33,011
Yeah, there no money in Wes' account.

741
00:39:33,036 --> 00:39:35,443
What about a Swiss bank
account or something?

742
00:39:35,468 --> 00:39:37,836
Tell Laurel already, Frank.

743
00:39:45,351 --> 00:39:46,605
Come on, Barbie.

744
00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:49,505
Mommy said you took the money,
so where's your hiding spot?

745
00:40:16,482 --> 00:40:19,519
Frank, if this is some
sort of relationship talk,

746
00:40:19,544 --> 00:40:20,556
I'm too tired.

747
00:40:20,581 --> 00:40:23,396
Laurel. Your mom's been lying to you.

748
00:40:29,271 --> 00:40:31,075
You're having legal trouble.

749
00:40:31,857 --> 00:40:33,474
Wallace Mahoney was killed.

750
00:40:33,499 --> 00:40:35,411
Not sure what that has to do with me.

751
00:40:35,458 --> 00:40:37,872
But you've had other troubles
with the police, no?

752
00:40:38,569 --> 00:40:41,419
Okay, I'm telling Laurel about this.

753
00:40:46,075 --> 00:40:47,240
Okay. I'll tell her.

754
00:40:49,825 --> 00:40:51,341
That was President Grant.

755
00:40:51,458 --> 00:40:54,052
He said the Justices might
be swinging in our favor.

756
00:40:54,087 --> 00:40:55,950
I'll believe it when
I see it in writing.

757
00:40:56,857 --> 00:40:57,997
Smart.

758
00:40:59,349 --> 00:41:00,592
Now, when you get home,

759
00:41:00,627 --> 00:41:02,958
I've set a meeting with
the Pennsylvania Bar Review.

760
00:41:02,983 --> 00:41:04,730
- They're gonna do a profile on you.
- No.

761
00:41:04,764 --> 00:41:07,230
You say yes to every interview,
no to every book offer.

762
00:41:07,255 --> 00:41:09,005
You're done, okay?

763
00:41:10,378 --> 00:41:12,083
You don't have to handle me anymore.

764
00:41:15,690 --> 00:41:16,888
We did good.

765
00:41:18,177 --> 00:41:19,466
Yeah.

766
00:41:22,583 --> 00:41:24,747
Take care of yourself, Annalise.

767
00:41:37,474 --> 00:41:39,364
Bonnie. I was just about to call you.

768
00:41:39,399 --> 00:41:42,200
Annalise, I'm so sorry to do this,

769
00:41:42,919 --> 00:41:44,443
but I'm at the hospital.

770
00:41:46,419 --> 00:41:47,591
Is it Isaac?

771
00:41:48,552 --> 00:41:49,794
No.

772
00:41:50,970 --> 00:41:52,200
It's Simon.

773
00:41:53,318 --> 00:41:54,638
He's awake.
