Cut, cut, cut.

Try it again. You sound like your mouth
is full of mashed potatoes.

Uh, yeah, I'm sorry. Don't be sorry.

Just sing it right.

I thought it sounded beautiful. Yeah,
you would.

Bet you thought your wife sounded good,
too, huh?

There's a reason she's a backup singer.

You're both off today.

Okay, quit playing with the mic stand
and do it again. Try to sing like you

what you're doing this time.

Look,

this isn't working.

The shift isn't good enough. I won't let
anything leave my studio sounding like

that.

Hey, you, stop taking pictures. Get out.
Get out.

Look, this is obviously not working. All
right, let's try it again tomorrow. All

right.

Don't listen to that creep. You were
great.

Have you thought about Evan?

No, I need to tell Terry first.

You know what'll happen if you tell him.

He'll talk you out of it. He always
does.

What do I always do?

Terry, we need to talk.

We do, huh?

Okay, come on. I don't have all night.

I've been talking to Evan Carlton.

Evan Carlton.

I bet he tells you he thinks you sound
like Adele. No, he doesn't. You know

been trying to get at me for years. He
hates me. This isn't about you. This is

about me.

I'm firing you as my producer, and I'm
going with Evan, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

I just thought that you wanted to be a
real singer. I didn't think this was

a vanity project.

Just stop. Stop. You need me, Phoebe.
You need me to push you. Your mind games

are not going to work with me, okay?

I'm leaving you, and Evan is producing
my album.

Whose album?

I own that album. And I will erase every
track before I allow you to hand it

over to Evan Carlton or anyone else. I
swear if you do that, you'll be sorry.

Oh, I'm trembling.

It's the wife. Do you mind?

Yeah.

Hello. I'm coming home soon, hon.

You can't meditate in your own room?

It's called mindfulness. You should try
it sometime.

Well, I have my own form of mindfulness.
It involves listening to Frank Sinatra

and drinking a few... I'm standing right
here.

Oh, uh, drinking a few hot cocos. Is
that all right? Do you want one?

No, I hate hot cocoa.

Okay, time for our weekly family
meeting.

Oh, darn.

You know, I have to be someplace.

Where?

Anywhere but here.

Breakfast is ready.

Waffles? Oh, you so know my weakness.

Well, one of them.

Okay, let's go. Let's just get it over
with.

How long have you been back here? A
month? Three weeks and one day.

Okay, so you know the routine.

Each week... We state our plans, our
goals... And our aspirations.

Oh, you poor thing. You think this is
normal.

Okay, so my plan is to get an acquittal
on the Gordon trial.

My goal is I want to prep the Talbot
case.

And my aspiration is to plant the
parsley in the garden by the end of the

Fascinating. Would you pass me the
throat?

My plan is to get straight A's in
physics. My goal is to make the baseball

get to pitch at tryouts today.

And my aspiration is to be the third
female president.

Third? Yeah, well, you'll be first.

And then there'll be someone else, and
then there'll be me.

That's good to know.

But baseball, isn't it about time that
you switched to softball?

Why?

Because I'm a girl?

Um, yes.

Lou doesn't like softball. I mean,
underhand pitching?

Why? I mean, boys and girls play t -ball
together. Why can't they play baseball?

They can. There is no rule that says
girls cannot play baseball. See? Right.

stand corrected.

Mm -hmm. How many girls are on the
baseball team?

None. Why not? Because of the glass
ceiling.

Right, Mom? It is right there, ready to
be broken, baby.

What, with a curveball?

And a two -seam fastball.

Mm -hmm.

Your turn.

Well, I want what I always want, a case
of my own.

You're a consultant. You consult. How am
I ever going to be a partner again if I

don't get to handle my own case? One
step at a time. You've only just

the firm.

You see, your mother has just created a
glass ceiling just for me. That doesn't

sound very fair, Mom.

Meeting adjourned.

Oh, and my aspiration is to have another
waffle when I'm finished with this one.

Can you make me one?

Okay.

Ladies and gentlemen, another acquittal.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Thank you. Let's get back to work. We
have a lot of cases to worry about. What

Ms. Darrow means is thank you for your
great showing of support, and she

couldn't have done it without you.

That goes without saying.

Thanks.

Back to work, everyone. Let's go.

Hey. Hey.

Coffee, Kathleen? Well, well, well, if
it isn't the defeated district attorney

coming to pay homage.

Your homage, Kathleen. Thank you. We
have a bet. Yeah, we have a bet.

Every time we face off in court, loser
has to buy the winner a cup of coffee.

What's the tally? Now, let's see. This
is two that I bought you.

One that I bought you.

Why is that?

I defend the innocent.

The unfair innocence advantage.

May I comment?

I can't stop you. I can't wait.

I can't help but notice that whenever
the two of you are together, which I'm

for, by the way, you never seem to talk
about anything but work.

That's not true. That's true. What?
Yeah.

Remember our last date? All we did was
talk about Wagner v. Murad. That was a

fascinating conversation.

Yeah, absolutely. But kind of work
-oriented. Well, it was law talk. And

lawyers. Lawyers. But we're also well
-rounded individuals. And in light of

development, I propose an agreement
where we don't talk law for a month, for

weeks. Right? No shop talk for... One
week. One week. The weekend... No, no,

you're right. One week. Starting right
now.

Wow, you guys are unbelievable.

You know, there are other things to talk
about. I know. Plenty of things.

There's a world of things to talk about.

Baseball? Baseball. Yeah, go Cowboys.

Oh,

we go to a club downtown. Tonight.

A club? Yeah, my sister, my kid's
sister, she's a singer, right? And she's

playing at a club downtown tonight. So
we go, we listen to music, we talk, but

no shop talk. Yeah, it could just be
life talk. Life talk.

Yeah, you in? I'm totally in.

Sounds great.

But I'm not going.

You're not going?

You'll be missed.

You're not going.

Winnie, your instincts with jury
selection are spot on. How do you read

so well? It's a blessing and a curse.

You make dating her a challenge.

I always know what he's thinking.

Actually, it saved time. Watch.

Tonight, do you want to... Go to a
movie?

Sure. But I pick.

See? Whatever works for you, Chester.

Would this be a good time for us to have
that talk?

Uh, sure, Chester.

What talk?

That talk you've been avoiding for about
a month.

As you're no doubt aware, this firm is
in a state of crisis.

We just won a case. Exactly.

We're coasting on past glory.

We have to recognize that it's a whole
new world out there.

The status quo is the status quo.

Let me guess. You've been doing some of
those business seminars.

I have.

That's what I thought.

And I learned that the only way to
succeed is by failing.

I thought the only way to succeed was by
succeeding.

That's old thought. You have to come
into the new millennium. Don't start

that. Please, Chester.

Stop him, please, before he makes us do
team -building exercises.

See? That's exactly the type of thinking
that's keeping us in the 21st century.

But this is the 21st century.

And it will stay that way unless you
start to say yes.

Okay, I'm going to think about that,
Chester.

You're really, you're kind of
encouraging him, and I... I don't have

to tell him no.

Well, he's very post -millennial of you.

Never meant to let me down.

So got your feelings like a plane in my
mind. Remember everything about that

goodbye.

She's good, your sister.

Isn't she?

Yeah. She's my half -sister, actually,
from my dad's second marriage. He

remarried after my mom died to a really
sweet one.

Long came Phoebe.

I was grown by then, but just so happy
she was in our family.

I always wanted a sister.

That was tremendous.

Thank you, thank you. I feel like I was
a little bit off. No, no, no, no. You

were amazing. Thank you. Hey, you must
be the famous Claire.

Oh, I'm famous.

I mean, according to my LPR, he never
stops talking about me. He never stops

talking about me? Cut it out.

Sorry, I'm blowing your cover.

Kind of blowing my cover, yeah. Oh,
flower city.

You have a secret admirer. Who's E?

Ah, doesn't matter.

Is it the famous E? See, two of them
playing that game.

Have you met my amazing engineer? This
is Jonah LaRochelle. Hi.

Used to be my assistant on the mixing
board, and now I'm looking at you. Well,

you'll always be the master.

And this is Linda Yazbeck. Hi.

I'm the producer's wife, but don't hold
that against me.

Hey, where is Terry? I thought he was
going to be here tonight. He's busy

working on Phoebe's album. It's going to
be great.

Well, come on, Linda. Let Phoebe get
some rest. Right.

Your husband's expecting us in the
studio in the morning. If we're late...

my husband just wants everyone to work
as hard as he does. He's not as bad as

people say.

Nice to meet you.

Bye, guys. Thank you so much for coming.
See you.

Bye.

Miles, I need your help. I don't know
what to do.

What's wrong?

Everything. Everything.

Look, my career is just starting to take
off.

After struggling and scraping by, I
finally made something that was good.

That was me.

The album.

Right, the album. She said it was great.

Yeah, Linda said it was good.

Terry's wife, Linda.

Terry, though. Terry is ruining
everything.

How? He's trying to steal my album. He's
trying to destroy it. How?

I was contacted by this other producer,
Evan Carlton.

He's a really good producer and a really
kind guy.

He's the kind of producer I need to take
my album further.

And so I told him that. You told Terry
that? Terry, yeah. But he said that we

have a contract and that he owns the
album and if I try to leave him, he'll

destroy it.

Can I see this contract?

I don't have a copy. Terry has it in his
office.

Can you help her? I mean, it's about the
lawyer in the city. Well, yeah, I would

love to help, but I need to see that
contract.

Okay. I mean, I can get it for you.

Okay, bring it to my office tomorrow
afternoon.

Thank you. Thank you.

We'll see you through this. Thank you.
I'm not going to let you down again.

Oh, you never have.

Thank you, sweetie.

Nice to meet you. Thank you so much. It
was great to meet you. Thanks, Bill.

You were great tonight.

Oh, there you are.

Bill.

Six hours.

What? Couldn't go six hours without a
talking shop.

I just can't stop, can I? You can't.

Hello?

Okay, I... Hey, Phoebe. Phoebe, what are
you... Terry!

Terry?

You have reached the voicemail box.

This is 911.

What's your emergency?

It's my husband. Something has happened
to him.

Yeah.

I don't want you to think that I was
ignoring you.

I've been thinking about what you said.

Well, you've ignored what I've said for
years. You're going to have to narrow

that down.

About having a case of your own. Oh, so
you finally came around. Well, I happen

to have a number of cases that sound
very interesting.

Mom, slow down.

I'd like to see if you understand the
philosophy of Darrow and Darrow.

Excuse me.

What is my name?

I helped co -found this firm. Yes, but
you've been away in New York at that big

prominent firm. Yes, yes, where we
actually made money. Ooh, isn't that

You should see how you feel about the
way we do things. Now, there's a woman

the conference room.

It's a pro bono case.

Pro bono? Yes.

For nothing?

For the public good.

She wants to sue a client of ours, and
our client can't pay, so we could do it

for free.

What do you think?

Oh, I see what you're doing.

You don't think I'll do it.

You want to be proven right about me.

I don't... Well, I'll do it. And what do
you think about that?

I'm pleased.

Yeah, you say you're pleased, but I know
that inside you are shocked.

You can believe that if you want to. I
am going to take this pro bono case. I

going to...

Yeah, and then how are you going to
feel?

Happy. You're darn right.

Okay. Lead on.

Great.

I think they manufacture it right in
their house and sell it on the front

in front of everybody.

It's outrageous.

Mrs. Melanie. I hate to think what kind
of health codes they're violating, not

to mention the zoning code. Mrs. And he
has his granddaughter selling the stuff.

What kind of monster would do that? Mrs.
Bellamy, you still haven't told me what

my clients are allegedly selling.

Allegedly? I've got photographic
evidence.

It's a lemonade stand.

You see?

You can't believe it either, can you?

No, no, I can't.

Here you go.

Well, she's a real wingnut.

But the thing is, she's right.

Her neighborhood isn't zoned for retail,
so technically she has a case.

So it'll take a really good lawyer to
find it, huh?

You really think that flattery will
motivate me?

Won't it?

Well, yes, of course it will.

I'm surprised it took you that long to
figure it out. Hey.

Hey there.

Hi. Look what I got. The contract. You
got the contract. I picked it up from

Terry's office last week. Awesome. Let's
take a look. All right.

Are you Phoebe Strasberg?

Yes.

Your roommate told us we might find you
here. Hold on. What's going on? You're

under arrest, Ms. Strasberg.

What are you talking about?

What is she being charged with? The
murder of Terry Yazbeck.

Murder? That's not possible.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law. You have

the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one
will be provided for you. Do you

understand these rights?

Don't worry, Phoebe. We've got this.

I don't think I'm the one you need. You
are. I have never defended a murder

trial before. Isn't there someone more
qualified than me? You are the best

lawyer I have ever seen.

Well, thank you, but... So here's what
you did.

She was seen entering the Azbeck's
office at the time of the murder. They

search warrant. They searched her car.

They found the murder weapon.

Umbrella M9.

That's why they're so sure it's her?

That's why they're so sure. They're
testing her hands for gunshot residue

now.

Look, Claire.

I know my sister.

I know she's innocent.

You're good at defending the innocent,
right?

All right, I'll see you this afternoon.

Thank you.

After I check on Luke.

Thank you.

So you think you're up for this

case?

Not really.

I do.

I hope you're right.

Yeah, she is good.

I mean, she's really good. I know. Her
dad taught her to hit like that.

Oh, now I see. So baseball is Lou's way
of staying connected to the memory of

her father.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

When she was four, she could name every
baseball team in every city in the major

leagues. She collected the cards. She
knew all the stats.

Stats? Are you kidding?

Yeah, that's how she got into math,
which led to engineering, which led to

the AP classes.

We owe it all to baseball.

Well, now I thought it was just a bunch
of guys standing around waiting for fly

balls.

There's a lot more to it than that.

Yeah, well, you could have fooled me.

Lou,

is she yours?

Um, yes.

Not bad. Not bad. She's the best player
you've got.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. What a charming fella.

Bye.

All right.

I gotta go.

Wish me luck. Right. Go get them, Tiger.
Okay.

Yes, I fought with Terry during our last
lesson. And yeah, I had a different

producer lined up.

Did you threaten Terry Azbeck?

I don't know. I might have.

I mean, I was mad.

Terry has a way of getting under your
skin.

Or... had.

Well, you were overheard threatening
Terry if he destroyed your album.

Yeah, I mean, that sounds like something
I'd say.

We're supposed to be threatening
whatever you care about most.

Okay, the clerk at the convenience store
across the street said he saw you

trying the door at the Asbex studio
around 1 o 'clock in the morning. Did he

recognize you? Yeah, I mean, we always
buy energy drinks from him.

I waved at him, and then the door was
locked, so I went around back.

Yeah, the security camera saw you drive
up and go in the back door.

I know. I told you I went to go get the
contract. So that door was unlocked?

Yeah. So I thought somebody would be
working there, but the whole place was

quiet.

Terry wasn't there.

I mean, at least I didn't see him.

So I went into his office, and I got the
contract from his files.

I even looked through his whole
computer.

What for?

For my album, for the track. Oh, of
course.

But I couldn't find anything.

Did you hear a gunshot? No.

Phoebe, you were there at the exact time
of the murder.

And Terry's wife said she heard him call
your name on the phone.

I mean, even if I was there, I wouldn't
have heard the shot anyway.

The whole studio is soundproofed.

I swear I just went home.

What am I going to do?

You're innocent.

You're innocent. They'll see that.

It's funny, you know.

Last night, that album was the most
important thing in the world to me.

And now, I mean...

Can I just remake it?

Unless I'm in prison for the rest of my
life.

And that's what I'm facing, right?

That's not gonna happen.

Okay?

Ah!

Are you ready to plead guilty? No, I
didn't kill Terry. She didn't kill

District Attorney Ashland, how are you?
Not too happy to see you on this side of

the fence, Miles.

Oh, we're all on the same side. We all
want to find the truth.

Man, you weren't kidding about her, were
you? What did you say? I did nothing

but good things. Plus, she's right.

I don't know.

We have the results for the gunshot
residue test on the suspect's hand.

It came back positive.

Wake up! Wake up out there! Why isn't he
playing? She's so disappointed.

Wait, wait a second. I think he's going
to go talk to her.

Okay. Oh, I'm so nervous. You're talking
to her. I'm so nervous. It's okay. I

mean, she's good, right? Yes, but this
is a lot of pressure.

Oh, you mean like you with that cake?

You're not helping.

Sorry.

All right. You're good. You're good.

Oh,

come on. Oh, are you kidding me? Coach,
put her in!

Come on, fellas!

Hustle up! Keep alert!

Have they been able to track the serial
number on the gun? They have. It belongs

to a Catherine Huddleston. She's an old
-timer, lives up there in Corndor Road.

She can't remember the last time she saw
it.

But she has no connection to your
sister.

Not that I know of. Well, that's
something.

Hello? Scott. Yes, Chief. Hey, I need
you to track a... Catherine Huddleston.

Catherine Huddleston. Find out
everything you can and see about her

to Terry Yazbeck or anyone else involved
in the case.

You got it.

Here's something else. Yeah.

So Phoebe's album, the track, Phoebe's
album, nowhere to be found. And Terry

a big studio, and apparently this guy
checks everything. He's a real control

freak.

Backups and backups and everything they
did on the computers over there. He

didn't let go of anything.

So what happened to the album?

I don't know.

Terry destroyed it. It makes no sense.
Somebody stole it. Someone stole it.

possibly the same person that killed
Terry.

But why would they do that? It's not
worth anything to anybody but Terry.

And Phoebe.

She said she didn't take it. She also
said she didn't kill Terry Asbeck. I

I know she didn't. But if I'm a DA,
which I am, and I'm thinking like a DA,

which I am,

she looks guilty. Well, I'm thinking
like a defense attorney, and I know

not.

Thanks for saying that. And also, thank
you for... You don't have to say

anything. All right.

Now, don't you fret.

I'm going to take care of this, okay?

Okay. You okay?

Thank you, Mrs. Darrow.

You know what makes this lemonade case
so hard? Watching a little girl

sob her eyes out?

Well, yeah, that and having to actually
taste the lemonade. They sweeten it with

stevia. It's a terrible aftertaste. You
know what? I like stevia. Oh, you

probably like cilantro, too.

Yes, I do.

Well. It takes all kinds.

Hey, where's Claire? She's with Miles,
meeting with Phoebe's producer.

Well, I thought Phoebe's producer was
dead.

I mean, isn't that the whole problem?
There's a new producer.

Oh, she has a new producer. Oh, lucky
girl.

Except for being charged with murder.

Well, yeah, except for that.

Chester Lyme, I was wondering if today
would be a good day to discuss our

creative synergy exploration.

No.

Oh.

Okay.

Terry Aspect was an abusive jerk.

Ask anybody.

Emotionally, physically.

I mean, if Phoebe killed him, it was in
self -defense. She didn't kill him.

Are you saying that that's what you
think happened?

No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying
Terry was an angry, dangerous person.

I mean, if I saw him coming at Phoebe
and I had a gun, I'd probably shoot him

myself. Did you?

No, of course not.

You seem awfully protective of Phoebe.

Look, I wouldn't say that. She's a very
talented singer, and I want to produce

her album.

Did you send her flowers?

Yes, I did, but just to thank her for
signing with me. But you do have a...

Particular reason for wanting to kill
Terry Asbeck, don't you?

Yeah, okay, you're referring to Linda.
Yeah, Terry was married to my ex -wife.

Right, so we could say you have many
reasons to want to kill Terry Asbeck,

you?

Well, it seems like Evan has more than a
professional interest in your sister.

Why didn't you stop me? I had him on the
ropes. We're not in court. We're not

even taking depositions. We're just
gathering facts. I mean, as a DA, you

how to do that. You're right. You're
right. You know when you're right,

right. You've got to have blind faith.

Is that what you do, Claire? You just
have blind faith? Actually, just faith.

call it blind justice.

Besides, now we know Evan Carlton's in
love with your sister.

How about that? If he is, then why?

Didn't Phoebe tell us that?

Maybe she doesn't know.

Or maybe she's protecting him.

Hey, Scott, how are you coming along
with Catherine Huddleston?

Still looking into it.

Okay, well, I'm going to give you
another job because you're the best

investigator I have.

I won't deny that, but thanks for the
validation.

I want you to find out what can cause a
false positive on a gunshot residue

test. Right, I'm on it.

That's good.

That's a good idea.

I have them occasionally.

Yeah, do that.

I don't work for you. Not yet.

Please, guys. Okay, so now we need to go
talk to Phoebe's backup singer and her

engineer to find out more about that.
I'll bring the car around.

Okay. Hey, Chester, you know your way
around a computer, right? We have a

certain rapport.

I want you to search Terry Asbeck's
computer system for the entire week

up to the murder.

That'll take days.

And the police have already been through
it.

Are you complaining?

No, just defining it. Actually, it
sounds kind of fun.

Hey, Chester, I want you to be my second
on this.

I don't know what to say. I just think
that... I didn't... Scott!

What have I told you about leaving your
law books all over my desk?

What do you mean your desk? We're
supposed to share this desk.

This half is mine.

Well, then why do you leave your Danish
on my half?

Stop being petty.

You're being petty.

I like this 24 -7.

Maybe we do need team -building
exercises.

Journey of a Thousand Miles starts with
a single Danish.

No, I don't have any of Phoebe's tracks.

Terry was very protective of them. Kept
them all on his computer.

Well, they aren't on any of Terry's
computers. Or on the hard drive of the

recording studio.

Oh, I don't understand that.

You know, unless Terry was going to
delete the whole album.

Well, I wouldn't put it past him.

He erased all the music I recorded with
him.

He was jealous of my talent.

This is my wife, Nora.

She's also the backup singer on Phoebe's
album.

That's me, just a few feet from stardom.

It's really terrible what they're doing
to Phoebe. Yeah.

Yeah, I hated to have to tell the cops
what I'd heard, but I couldn't lie,

I? You could have lied.

No, he couldn't. Well... She didn't mean
it when she threatened him. That's just

something that people say.

Right. I mean, look, if it hadn't been
for Phoebe begging him, I wouldn't even

be her backup singer. I'd be a waitress
somewhere.

Yeah. Phoebe even said she'd take me
with her when she went to Evan Carlton.

Evan Carlton, do you suspect something
more...

personal Phoebe's relationship with
Evan?

I never thought so.

She could do worse, but no, I never
heard anything.

Will? Yeah.

Thank you for your time. You understand,
Phoebe's a friend.

I would do anything for her.

Thank you.

Thank you, that's nice to hear.

What I mean is, if you wanted me to
testify that Phoebe was with me that

I'd be happy to.

Were you with her that night?

Well, no.

Okay, well, we couldn't ask you to lie
to protect Phoebe. Because that would be

perjury. Right.

I see.

Well, there's got to be something we can
do to protect her.

Yeah, what is your plan?

Our plan is to find the truth. Right.

Okay.

But you know that she killed him, right?

You know that.

Well, that has yet to be proven.

Well, thanks. If we have any other
questions...

We'll be in touch.

Do you want some coffee?

If I have any more coffee, I'll be up
for a week. Not that I can sleep anyway.

Well, you have to drink something. You
have to stay hydrated.

Okay, first off, coffee is a diuretic.

Second... Really, Claire?

That's my problem? My problem? My
sister's on trial for murder, and I got

stay hydrated?

My dad used to say that you have to
handle what you can when you can, and

now, you can handle staying hydrated.

My dad always used to say, pick that up.
I don't want anything.

Good, because we don't have anything but
grape soda.

Give me a grape soda, please.

What? Oh, yeah, a lot of grape soda. I
love grape soda. We have grape soda? No,

I used to drink tons of grape soda as a
youth. They used to call me the grape

soda kid. Please.

It's a wonder he's survived.

You don't like grape soda?

I never tried it.

Never? You've never tried it?

Are you kidding me? You're going to try
grape soda right now.

No. Right now. Try grape soda. No.

Try it for me.

Fine.

You don't think she's guilty, right?

Not for a minute.

You're not just saying that because of
me.

No.

No, I'd feel bad for you.

But I would definitely tell you if I
thought she was guilty, she's not.

Thanks.

That tastes nothing like grape.

I know.

It's like no other flavor known to man.

It's excellent.

Why do they call it grape?

You gotta call it something.

That's the legalese.

I know it's kind of amazing. It grows on
you.

Now would be a terrible time for a kiss.

Right? Totally.

Yeah.

We wait until our heads are clear.

Yes. Okay.

All right.

I gotta get more of this stuff.

It is a far, far better thing that I do
than I have ever done.

It is a far, far better rest that I go
to than I have ever known.

The end.

So he went to the guillotine?

Yeah.

For a good cause.

Nice bedtime story, Mom.

It's a classic.

I liked it.

Tomorrow we start on Oliver Twist.

Mom? Yeah?

I don't know if I want to play baseball
anymore.

What? Why not?

Are the boys being mean to you?

No. No, they're nice.

What, is the coach giving you trouble?

I don't think so.

Then what is it?

They don't make me feel like I'm a part
of the team.

You know, they treat me like I'm
something special.

Well, you are something special.

You know what I mean.

They treat me like I'm a girl.

Oh, I mean, you are a girl.

I know, but I just... I think it would
be better if I quit.

You know, focus on the big team.

Do you like baseball?

I love it.

Then you should do what you love.

So, I'll give it another shot.

We'll see how it goes.

You were listening?

Oh, that's time.

What do you think?

I think she just wants to be a part of
the team.

Well, I know how she feels.

Oh, so this is about you now?

It's about me, her, you. It's about all
of us.

I'm going to give that coach a piece of
my mind.

All right, can I just say something?

Can I stop you?

Remember when you were little and I used
to tell you that you can catch more

flies with honey than with vinegar?
Yeah, you know, I never understood that.

would you want to attract flies?

All right, you know what I mean. Just
let me talk to him.

You know that I was voted most likely to
get what she wants by my senior class.

Yeah, how did you win that anyway?

I wanted it.

Easy.

Yeah, I took a lot of pictures of that
last session, you know, for publicity

for the album cover. Here they are.

Did anything strike you as odd about
that last session? You mean aside from

Terry being a royal fleas bag? He had
her so upset that she fidgeted with her

mic stand all through the session.

You can even see that in this picture.

I swear, it's as if he'd like to see her
cry.

What do you see to make her cry?

Specifically, he said that she had no
talent and that she was nothing without

him. Okay, but can you think of anyone
who'd want to kill him?

Only everybody who ever met him.

Right. Well, that narrows it down.

Thanks. So, was there anything unusual
about the last recording session?

I've told you, no.

Terry was abusive, but that was normal.

Did you always have that much trouble
with your mic stand?

I don't know.

Terry had me so rattled, I was having
trouble with everything.

Thank.

Please. I guess it was a little, I don't
know, slippery.

So why didn't you switch it out for
another one?

I know it's silly, but that particular
stand was kind of a good luck charm.

I always used it, and everyone would kid
me about it, but when I stood in front

of that stand, I could really sing.

Hmm.

Looks like an ordinary mic stand.

I don't know, but look at the color
picture. You see that thing on top that

use to tighten it? It's red.

The clip.

Yeah, you knew that. Yeah, I knew that.
What, you didn't? I had to look it up.

Why are we looking for this?

I don't know.

It's just a hunch.

Yeah? All right.

Hunch is good. Hunch is all we have.

Ah.

What? I just, I just, I swore I wouldn't
let her down again, and now here we

are. You said that earlier, and Phoebe
swore that you never did let her down.

She's being kind.

She was... When my dad and his wife
died, she was just a teenager, you know,

it's a rough time to be an orphan.

You know, I was starting out as a
lawyer, you know, hungry, got to

wasn't really there for her, you know,
at least not the way I should have been,

and she...

Got in trouble, lost her way.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

And then she discovered music.

She discovered this, and it saved her.

She cleaned herself up, started over. I
was starting to make money as a lawyer

so I could put her through a fine arts
college.

That was nice. I mean, you helped her
there, right? Right, but that was after

the fact. Too little, too late. She
saved herself, which is why I need to

her now.

I owe her.

I remember when my father died, I swore
I wouldn't let his farm go under.

And you didn't.

Yeah.

And you, you won't let Pepe down.

Thank you.

Sorry, I didn't know you were... What
are you doing in here? We were looking

something. A mic stand.

Oh, well, we have lots of those.

No, not an ordinary mic stand. It's this
one.

Wow. Yeah.

You recognize it?

Yeah. That's Phoebe's favorite mic
stand.

Yeah. Isn't it here? Nope. Can't find
it.

Oh, that's weird.

Usually right here.

Well, it's not here now.

Well, we'll keep... Oh, careful.

Oh, sorry.

Thank you.

Actually, if you... Go that way? Yeah.
Okay, great.

Terrific. We won't sit on that anymore.
Okay. Okay.

Thanks. Thank you.

Uh -oh, you're making a face. What's
that face?

Do you have an idea?

Maybe. Because when you make that face
when I'm a DA, I know I'm in trouble

because you're about to win the case.
Are you about to win this case? Let's

get ahead of ourselves, but let's face
the step in the right direction.

I like that. Yeah, me too.

Good job!

Spencer, you're okay, fellas. Easy out,
easy out.

I'm not playing her.

All right, I'll go talk to him.

He said she was one of his best players.

No, he said that she wasn't bad.

His tone said she was one of his best.
Right, yeah, his tone was pretty

positive. I'm going to go talk to him.
What did we decide about honey and

vinegar? Yeah, I'm going to give him
some vinegar. You know what? I looked up

that thing, and you know who said it?
Who?

Benjamin Franklin.

Now, do you really want to mock Benjamin
Franklin?

Maybe.

Seriously?

I'll be right back.

Okay, fellas, easy out, easy out.

Good game.

Kaminsky, warm up.

You know, I can't help but notice that
you haven't played the whole team.

Most of them.

Most of them, yes.

Most of them.

But not all of them.

No, not all of them. Not Lou.

No, not Lou. Play the pole, play the
pole!

Why haven't you played Lou?

I'll get around to her.

Oh, you will?

Yep, don't you worry.

In what inning?

I mean, what game?

So you're not going to use her in this
game?

I don't think so. Come on, Blue! That
was his sign!

Do you think that it would be possible
for us to have a discussion about this?

A discussion?

Like coffee.

Okay.

Okay. This week.

Sure. Two -way, boys! Two -way!

Well, it's working.

I mean, it might take a little longer
than we originally thought, but, you

it'll come around.

I give honey one week, no matter what
Ben Franklin says.

Just trust me.

Ms. Darrow wanted me to talk to you
about what we are.

So... My first question is, what are we?

A law firm.

Wrong.

We're a tribe.

A tribe is a group of people connected
to each other, connected to an idea.

But I don't think we really know each
other.

So the first thing we're going to do is
go around and tell each other three

little known things about ourselves.

You first, Zoe.

Well... I was born in Washington, D .C.

I used to be a Marine.

I served a tour in Afghanistan.

Wow.

I did not know that.

You never asked.

Huh. See?

Your turn, Winnie.

Um, my first name is Godwin. I know,
weird. My mother was a hippie,

and I'm an excellent bowler.

Good.

Joe, uh... Madero.

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him
die.

Really?

That is a Johnny Cash lyric.

Don't you guys even know your classics?

We'll get back to you.

Who's next?

You are. No, I'm the moderator. Come on.
Chester. Come on, Chester.

Okay.

I have a slight case of OCD.

It took me four years to get through law
school.

But I graduated top of my class.

My father's still ashamed of me.

Hey, you guys ready to go to the pre
-trial hearing?

Everybody ready?

Give them a minute. They're bonding.

It's okay.

I found out something interesting about
the woman who won the gun.

Oh, Mrs. Huddleston, yeah. Yeah, she
used to be a nanny. Among the children

she cared for, Linda Rutherford, used to
be Linda Carlton. Now, she's Linda

Yasbeck. Terry's widow.

Exactly. She goes to visit her every
other month. So she could have stolen

gun. Many times over.

You did a good job, Scott.

Didn't I?

Okay, now this is just the pre -trial
hearing. You don't have to do anything.

They're not going to ask you any
questions. Just be here.

Right. And look innocent.

Which you are.

Right?

Yes.

Don't underestimate her. I never
underestimate people. Good.

Is she better than I am?

Are you serious? No, of course not.

Why do you think I hired you? Just
because you're cute?

Thank you. You're welcome.

Wait, you think I'm cute?

Yeah. Really? Everybody thinks you're
cute. So, like... Hearing's this way.

Okay.

I object. There's already been a gunshot
residue test admitted as evidence.

That is true, Ms. Darrell.

I don't mean to disparage the state's
test. I only want to verify it and

on it. Your Honor, I don't see the need
for us to have to go over... I don't see

any harm.

I'm going to allow it.

Judge Batchelor always says that first.
I know, Chester.

Okay, Judge.

So, Dr. Armstrong, is this the result of
the new test you administered on Phoebe

Strasburg's hand?

Yes. The tests were done some days after
the event, so it was difficult to

obtain definite results.

But you did.

I did. I'm an expert.

Yes, I know. We established that.

And what were the results you found?

The results came back positive.

I object again.

This merely confirms the state's
evidence, and it's a waste of the

I beg the court's indulgence, Your
Honor.

For a few more minutes, Ms. Darrell.
Thank you.

So, it came back positive for gunshot
residue.

Yes. What else?

Objection! Overruled.

Break fluid.

Break fluid?

Like from a car?

Indeed. It could be either one.

Brake fluid can produce a false positive
in a GSR test.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Although

the

defense has presented some serious
questions as to the validity of the GSR

The court feels that the state case is
strong enough to go to trial.

Bail has been set for $500 ,000.

So, Coach Reed, I feel funny calling you
Coach.

What do your friends call you? Coach.

Really?

Well, you can call me Joanna.

Joe.

Why not?

Let's talk about Lou.

What about her?

Do you think she's a good player?

Could be.

If she played more?

Could be. So why don't you let her play
more, or at all?

I don't know.

Why don't you think I play her more?

Because she's a girl? That'd be
discrimination.

Yes, it would.

She's on the team.

True. So I'm not discriminating against
her. Next question.

Girls have every bit as much right to
play baseball as boys do. Of course they

do. They're just as strong.

It's a matter of opinion, I guess.

So are you worried about her getting
hurt? I don't want any of my kids to get

hurt, the boys or the girls.

Oh, so you're protecting her, and that's
why you're not letting her play.

It's a boys' game, Joe.

It's not Joe. It's Joanna.

No, it's Ms.

Darrow. And who says it's a boys' game?

Everybody. I mean, for a girl to really
be able to compete, she'd have to be

exceptional. Oh, so she'd have to be
better than the rest just to get to

Yeah, I guess.

And why get her hopes up anyway?

Let her play softball, Jolene. That's a
girl's sport. But she loves baseball.

And why shouldn't she be able to play
the game she loves?

Especially if she's good at it, and she
is good at it.

And if you're good at one thing, just
one thing, that can affect the rest of

your life and it can make you believe
that you can do anything.

You really want to stand in the way of
that.

Okay.

I'll give her a shot.

Really? Sure thing.

That's good coffee.

Next one's on me.

Thank you for bailing me out. Of course.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to

pay you back.

I'll get the money back when you show up
for trial.

Right? Right.

Of course. Where else would I be? Look,
Pheebs, I know things don't look great

right now, but Claire is the best
attorney in the state.

I know, but... You just got to have
faith.

Okay? Okay.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

No problem.

It's our space.

Can you believe that? It actually
worked.

Claire. What?

You were on another planet. You were in
orbit there. Did you bring anything

back? No.

No. Did you talk to Ms. Yazbeck? Yes, I
did. Okay.

She took the gun away from Mr. Suttleton
because she was afraid she was going to

hurt herself with it because she's in
early stage dementia.

So Mrs. Yazbek said... She gave the gun
to Terry, who kept it in his office.

So anyone could have gotten their hands
on it? Including Phoebe. Ugh, so we're

back to square one.

Do you think she's being framed?

I think there's two possibilities. One,
she's being framed.

And I don't think you want to consider
the second possibility. I consider all

possibilities. That you killed Terry
Yazbek? She didn't kill him.

Look, using Occam's razor, there are
two... Oh, Occam's razor. I hate Occam's

razor. Okay, there are two
possibilities.

The simplest one is the most likely.
What is Occam's...

I don't even think there was an occult.
Well, there was. He was a Franciscan

friar.

Okay, well, now I feel bad, but he
wasn't a lawyer.

No, no, he wasn't a lawyer.

You don't think she did it, do you?

Judging by the facts, I think she did,
yes.

But what does your gut say?

My gut tells me that you really want her
to be innocent.

That wasn't the question. I know.

Chester, have you learned anything from
Yaswick's computer system?

No, just that I don't care for
contemporary music.

Keep looking.

I think I may have something here.

What? You wanted me to call Dr.
Armstrong and have him analyze the brake

Well, he came back with something pretty
interesting. It's a brand of fluid that

isn't used very much anymore, mostly on
old muscle cars.

Uh -huh. You're thinking Jonas Mustang.

I am.

Okay. So you think that maybe
deliberately someone put...

Break fluid oil on our hands to cause a
false positive on the gunshot. That's

exactly what I'm thinking. All right,
well, let's track this through, then.

would know that that would work?

Somebody with a background in science,
chemistry, law enforcement? Or he could

have Googled it.

That's what I did.

I hate the internet.

I'll be right back.

Oh, wait, so...

You're saying that the... You think the
brake fluid came from Jonah's car? I'm

just saying it's worth checking out.

All right.

Oh.

Phoebe. Miles.

I was just looking for Jonah.

We are, too.

Well... There's a side door.

Oh, my gosh.

Jonah! Jonah!

Hey! Hold on, hold on.

How's Jonah?

Is he going to be all right? Nobody will
tell me anything.

He has a concussion. He's going to
recover, but if we hadn't come in, he

have died from carbon monoxide
poisoning.

Do you think somebody hit him on the
head and then started the car to kill

Yes.

Consensus of opinion seems to be that
with you.

I swear to God, I just got there when
you did. What were you doing there in

first place?

I got a phone call.

From who?

I don't know. The number was blocked.

So why'd you answer it? I just did. You
know, sometimes you just do.

No, I don't. Well, I just did.

Okay.

Anyway, who was it?

I still don't know. The voice was
altered electronically.

Well, what did it say?

That Jonah had my album.

And you believed it? No, of course I
didn't believe it. I still had to go

it out and see, didn't I? I thought you
didn't care about the album.

It's still two years' worth of work.

of sweat and tears.

I at least had to go talk to Jonah and
just see if he had it.

And that's when I ran into you guys.

So the only one who can corroborate this
story is an unidentified voice on the

telephone.

Then San Diego does it.

No, it doesn't.

Not so good, no.

But you know what?

We'll go talk to Jonah. Yeah.

See if he has anything he can say about
this.

Well, tell him I say hello.

And that I didn't try to kill him.

Yeah. Look, Pheebs, this is all going to
be okay.

I know you're lying, but thank you for
saying that.

I was lucky.

You call this lucky?

Call me a skull half -crushed kind of
guy.

Another few minutes and I'd have been
dead. I like that half -crushed analogy.

Half -crush is good, full crush is bad.
Did you see who hit you on the head?

I don't remember. It's all kind of
jumbled.

Did you see Phoebe in the garage?

I don't remember.

Do you have Phoebe's album?

No, of course not. Why would you ask
that?

I asked you that because Phoebe got a...

What would you call it? An anonymous
call from an electronically altered

that said you had her album.

Well, I don't.

Who would make a call like that? We
don't know.

Well, did anybody else hear the call?

No. Well, then how do you know?

We don't. We don't know that Phoebe's
telling the truth. Do you have any idea

who has the album?

Well, I couldn't say. You couldn't say?

Well, unless... Evan Carlton.

How would he get it? I don't know. I
just know that he was trying to get it

from Terry. How?

I don't know.

Maybe he went to see Terry the night
he... The night he was killed?

Yeah, it would have to have been.

Okay. Oh, um... Phoebe says to say hi.

She didn't try to kill you.

Okay. Okay.

Tell her I believe her. I will. Rest up.

No, Evan Carlton wanted to steal Phoebe
away from Terry because Terry's Phil

Evans' wife away from him. He hated
Terry.

So you think Evan Carlton killed Terry
Osberg? Try this one on for size. Evan

goes to Terry and says, hey, I'm going
to take Phoebe away from you. Not only

that, I'm going to take Phoebe's album
away from you. Terry refuses, of course.

Things escalate. Old tensions boil over.
Boom.

Evan pulls a gun on Terry.

Yeah, Zadie, I wouldn't prosecute him.
Let's go talk to him. Maybe he'll

confess. Should I be good cop or bad
cop?

Let's be lawyers.

That'll never work.

So the last time we were here, we
established that Terry Yazbeck stole

wife. That's fair to say?

I couldn't steal her. I didn't own
Linda. I was married to her. And yeah,

chose Terry over me, and I let her go.
End of story. You didn't resent that at

all?

I put that all behind me. You seem
awfully forgiving towards Terry Yazbeck,

mean, compared to the other day when we
were here.

Yeah, you know, I feel bad about that. I
shouldn't have spoken about him that

way so soon after. After you killed him.

Look, I didn't kill Terry, okay?

But you had a reason to, right?

Right. Look, I guess I shouldn't be
surprised she told you, seeing as how

are her brother.

She is my sister.

We'd like to hear it coming from you.

All right.

I'm in love with your sister.

And when I found out how Terry was
treating her after what he did to me,

was angry, very angry.

So you went to see him that night?

How did you know that?

I didn't until just now.

Yeah, yeah, okay, I went to see him, but
it was just to get her out of the

contract. I wanted to get her album
back, and we got into an argument.

And?

And that's it.

He wouldn't do either. He just laughed
at me. So I went home, and I figured I'd

let the lawyers handle it.

And that's it?

That's it.

I don't believe you, Mr. Carlton. Well,
what do you want?

You want to look at my computer, see if
her album's there?

We don't have a warrant.

You don't need one. I'll look for you.

Her album's called Journey to the Center
of My Soul.

Oh, well.

What's that, Mr. Carlton? I don't
understand. It's her album. How'd it get

there? I don't know. Should I give it to
you? No.

Maybe you took it.

The night you killed him.

So, Evan has my album?

I mean, that's amazing.

Do you know Evan is in love with you?

Uh, yes.

Yes?

Are you in love with him?

Yes.

Yes.

Why?

Why didn't you tell us that?

I didn't think it was important.

Was it because you were protecting him?

Was it because you thought that gave him
a motive?

Do you think Evan Carlton killed Terry?

I... I think he could have, for me.

Two way, two way, fellas.

Good job.

Don't not play her.

He's going to put her in. He's just
waiting for the right time. He's

very reasonable guy.

You liked him? I didn't say that. I just
said that he's a reasonable guy.

You weren't talking about him that way
before you got said coffee.

Wait a minute.

You like, like him. I don't like, like
him. No, I just think that you and I

maybe, um...

We just didn't give him the benefit of
the doubt.

Oh, boy, you really like him.

But I don't understand why he hasn't put
her in yet. Well, I don't care if you

like him.

If he doesn't put her in, I'm going to
give him... I know you're going to give

him a piece of your mind. I don't think
I want to. I'm sure you will.

The bottom of the ninth.

I can't believe he hasn't put her in
yet.

He promised me. Good try, buddy.

Good try, Huey. We've got someone in
third, boys. We've got someone in third.

He's not going to play her.

I think that I like this guy.

Okay.

All right.

What's he doing?

Luke.

You're up.

He's asking her to pitch it.

In the bottom of the net. That's kind of
a big deal, right?

Yeah.

Let's go. Come on.

Not good.

Lou, that was awesome.

Where did you learn how to hit like
that? My dad and I used to practice

together. I thought you guys just
practiced pitching.

Well, yeah, but we worked on everything.

He would have been so proud of you.

Uh, excuse me. I'll be right back.

What do you think you were doing out
there?

What?

I'll let your granddaughter be the hero.

You were setting her up. You wanted to
cut her from the team.

You could choose to believe that, or you
could choose to believe that I give her

a chance to sink or swim.

And she swam.

And what about next week?

I'll give her another chance.

You're going to let her pitch?

We'll see.

You don't treat any of the other kids
like this. No, I don't.

Because she's a girl.

Because she's special, unlike the other
kids.

Oh, so because she's special, you treat
her worse than everybody else. That's

right.

Because I wanted to work for it.

Resistance builds strength, you know.

So, you want to get another coffee
sometime?

Hmm.

Oh, we'll see.

Resistance builds strength, yeah.

Mr. Wilkes and his granddaughter believe
in obeying the letter of the law.

And here is the license for the
purveying of liquid refreshments signed

notarized.

You'll find that it pertains to your
neighborhood and its environment.

It's dated today.

Yes, that's right. What about last week
when they were operating illegally?

Well, I think that we can forgive a few
days. I don't. I don't forgive anybody.

I'm still going to sue them and
prosecute them to the fullest extent of

Really?

You're really going to do this? I really
am.

All right, Mrs. Bellamy, what if we were
to look into your building violation?

I don't have any.

That apartment above your garage, it has
a bathroom, doesn't it?

Is your neighborhood zoned for that?

And what about unlawful garage
conversions?

How did you know about all those zoning
violations?

Oh, I didn't. But come on, everyone's
got zoning violations, right?

See? Told you I was going to do it.

Hey, Phoebe. Yeah?

Phoebe, what are you doing?

Are you asleep?

Um, I'm sorry?

Try it again.

Chester, go through the computer system
again. Search everything from the night

of the murder. I've been through it. Go
through it again.

If you do that, you'll be sorry. Oh, I'm
trembling.

It's the wife. Do you mind?

Hello? I'm coming home soon, ma 'am.

What are you looking for? I just heard
something for the first time. Don't you

hear it? Hear what?

Winnie, give me the transcript from
Lindy Yazbeck's testimony.

Just a sec.

Here it is.

Read the part where she talks about her
husband's murder the night of the call.

When he was shot? Yeah.

Okay, coming home.

Soon, hon.

I'm coming home soon, hon.

Okay, I... Hey, Phoebe.

Phoebe, what are you... Hey, Phoebe.

Phoebe, what are you... And then she
hears the gunshot. Everything he said

in this recording.

I'm going to edit this and place the
call.

Which would mean Terry might have
already been dead by 1 .30. If that's

case, then Phoebe would have been
playing at the club. She'd have an

alibi. You've got to prove it.

It's the truth, right? Don't kill me.
I'm just a messenger.

You ever wonder why the messenger has so
few friends?

Mrs.

Yazbeck, I'm sorry to have to ask you to
do this again, but do you remember the

phone call you received from your
husband on the night in question?

Yes, I'll never forget it.

Do you remember his exact words?

Objection, Your Honor. I see no reason
on earth to put Ms. Yazbeck through this

ordeal again. I'm inclined to agree. It
does seem unnecessary.

If the court would just indulge me for
one more minute.

I, for one, am tired of indulging Ms.
Darrell. Your Honor! Enough.

What about you, Mrs. Yazbeck? Do you
object?

No.

I remember his exact words. He said,
I'll be coming home soon, hon. Those

his first words?

Yes. He didn't say hello?

No, he didn't.

Did he usually say hello?

I guess usually, yes. He said hello.

Okay.

And then what did he say next?

Hey, Phoebe.

Was it a question?

Pardon? Was it like, hey, Phoebe? Or was
it like, hey, Phoebe?

I don't know.

Okay, what did he say next?

He said, uh, Phoebe, what are you...
Okay, thank you. You don't have to

continue. Did it sound something like
this? Chester.

I'm coming home soon, hon.

Hey, Phoebe.

Phoebe, what are you... Yes?

Yes? Objection, Your Honor!

Non -disclosure!

How did Miss Darrow get a copy of that
phone call?

I was wondering the same thing, Miss
Darrow. I didn't. My associate, Chester

Lime, pieced it together from bits of a
conversation on a studio tape. So that

wasn't the call that Mrs. Yazbeck heard?

Actually, that is exactly what Mrs.
Yazbeck heard, because that is exactly

the killer did. I object again!

Are we supposed to take Ms. Darrell's
word for it that this magical audio

is possible? Objection sustained.

That's my job, Ms. Darrell. I'm sorry. I
was just trying to save time because I

would like to call an expert on audio
engineering. I would like to call Jonah

LaRochelle.

Mr. LaRochelle, in your expert opinion,
could the audio have been altered in the

way described?

I imagine it could. Could you have made
this recording yourself?

I think I could have. Did you make this
recording?

No. That's ridiculous.

Well, who was in a better position to
make it?

Phoebe.

She used to be my assistant.

And she knows all about audio
engineering.

And besides, she tried to kill me.

Remember? She hit me in the head and
then tried to asphyxiate me with my own

car. Oh, yes, the car.

You were very lucky.

Or were you lucky?

Maybe you were just careful.

Objection! I'm going to allow it. I want
to see where this is going.

Did you stage that assault on yourself,
Mr. LaRochelle?

Why on earth would I do that?

To divert suspicion from yourself and
make it look like Phoebe Strasberg tried

to kill you?

Objection! What's wrong?

Tell me. I want to see if you recognize
this object we've labeled Exhibit C.

Uh, sure. It's a mic stand.

Which mic stand?

It's a mic stand. They all look alike.

Oh, I don't think so. This mic stand was
found in the dumpster of a Chinese

restaurant three blocks from Terry
Yazbeck's studio.

Do you see the red clip?

What?

Oh, yeah. It looks like Phoebe's mic
stand, the one that she always liked.

are correct. In fact, we are prepared to
prove that that is Phoebe's mic stand.

We are also prepared to prove that the
inside tube of that mic stand and the

clip are both coated with brake fluid.

Brake fluid from a car?

Not unlike yours, Mr. Lovershell.

Objection, Your Honor. The connection
between this brake fluid and the brake

fluid in Mr. Lovershell's car... Has not
been proven. You know what? You are

correct, Mrs. Ashland. And I don't think
it can be proven.

But it is interesting, don't you think?

Not really.

Because somebody knew that the state
would give Phoebe Strasberg a gunshot

residue test after Terry Asbeck was
killed.

And that person knew that brake fluid
could cause a false positive on the

I mean, you can find that out on the
Internet.

And that person did that because that
person killed Terry Yazbeck and tried to

frame Phoebe Strasberg for the crime.

Well, it wasn't me.

I was with Phoebe at the nightclub when
Terry was killed. How do you know that?

How do you know when Terry was killed?

I don't. You're confusing me. Do I have
to answer? You kind of do.

Could you repeat the question?

With John.

I'd like to play that tape for you
again.

Objection! Mr.

LaRochelle is an expert. I would like
his opinion on it.

Overruled. Proceed, Miss Daryl. Thank
you, Your Honor.

Chapter. Ready.

I'm coming home soon, hon.

Hey, Phoebe.

Phoebe, what are you... Well?

Like she said, I've already heard it.
Oh, but you haven't.

That is a different recording.

That is a recording that my associate,
Chester Lime, who is very thorough,

on Terry Yazbeck's studio computer
system.

Oh, that's impossible. It was really
hard to find. He had to search through

these deleted files and reconstruct it.
I did.

We believe you, Mr. Lime.

But in the end, he found it. Because
computers are like elephants.

They remember everything.

And you know whose file it was deleted
from?

No. It was yours.

Why'd you make that recording?

It was a joke.

Was it?

I'm not laughing, Mr. LaRochelle.

Your wife is Phoebe's backup singer,
isn't that right?

Yes. Are you aware that your wife sent
Terry Yazbeck an email the week of the

murder? An email?

With an attachment.

I seem to remember something.

She sent him an email of her singing.

It was one of Phoebe's songs, and why
would she do that?

Well, I think he requested it.

Well, her email reads as follows.

I think I sing this song much better
than that no -talent Phoebe.

She was joking.

Was she?

Here's Terry's reply.

Pathetic. Stick to being a backup
singer. You can just barely do that.

He was joking.

Hilarious. How did your wife react?

She laughed, you know.

Tell me, why wasn't your wife at the
club the night Terry was murdered?

When she was at home.

She wasn't.

We have security footage from the gas
station at your corner.

It shows Nora LaRochelle getting gas at
12 .10 a .m. that evening. Now, why

would she do that unless she was coming
home from somewhere else?

Unless she went out just after midnight
to fill the tank.

That. She did that.

Or was she coming back from Terry
Asbeck's studio?

No, she wasn't. Your wife resented
Phoebe's success, didn't she?

She hated being a backup singer just a
few feet from stardom.

She thought with Phoebe out of the way,
Evan Carlton would make her a big star.

Didn't she?

Isn't that why she killed Terry Yazbek?

Objection! No, she didn't. I did. I shot
him. It's a trick, you idiot. Shut up.

Order! She knows. She knows everything.
I know what, Jonah?

That your wife killed Terry Yazbek and
you helped her?

Yes. No.

I did it all on myself.

No, he didn't.

I did it.

He didn't know anything about it until
afterwards.

Your Honor, can we talk?

Well,

I didn't let you down. I knew you
wouldn't.

Thank you.

You're so welcome.

You're the best.

So, using a recording to time shift the
murder, smearing the mic stand with

brake fluid, what would Occam think of
that?

I'd say he'd probably think it was
pretty complicated because he did live

14th century. Murder was simpler back
then. Claire, thank you so much. Thank

you. Of course.

You are a miracle worker.

I'm not.

I actually thought you suspected me for
it. Yeah, I totally did. And you know, I

still don't know how Jonah got Phoebe's
album on your computer, but that was

brilliant. What about the accent in the
garage?

Dates to deflect attention from Jonah,
nor I hit him on the head and started

car. Oh, sweet couple. Hey,

where'd your brother go?

Uh, somewhere around here. I'm not sure.

Thank you.

Mom.

Good job settling that lemonade case.

Yeah, I call it the when life gives you
lemons affair.

Yeah, okay.

Sounds good. Well, actually, maybe I'm
still working on that. Okay.

And you didn't even have to go to court.
That's the best way to resolve things.

I'm proud of you.

And I've been thinking, and I know that
we have our differences and there are

going to be challenges ahead, but I
would really like to offer you... To

me more cases.

Yeah, I'd like to offer you some more
cases.

And you're going to make me a partner.

Associate, please. What is with the
partner? Okay, I can wait.

But not too long.

Hug. Oh.

Oh, okay.

Oh, and good job, everybody. Great,
great, great work.

Ah,

homage to the victor goes the coffee.
Thank you. Where's yours?

You have to buy me one.

Because you won, but I won, too. We both
won, didn't we?

Although I will say, you know, you had
faith, and I didn't, not so much.

You always believed she was innocent.

Yeah, no, I didn't think my sister was a
murderer.

So how could we lose?

You're amazing.

See, I'm a DA. I don't think like that.
Well, maybe you should start. Maybe

that's your problem. Maybe I should
start. So dinner?

Saturday night? Yeah, let's do it. But
no shop talk, right? No shop talk for

minutes. And then maybe some shop talk.

We don't have grape soda.

You don't have grape soda.

I have grape soda.

Well done, counselor.

Let's celebrate, counselor.

You ready, Mom?

Yes, just a sec.

Oh, come on, let's go. Your daughter's
about to pitch a perfect game.

Don't jinx me.

Coach says he's going to let me pitch
for a few innings. You know, just see

I do.

That is great. You're going to get
nothing but strikeouts. Mom, don't you

me too.

Sorry, honey, what do you want us to
say?

Just quiet confidence with no
expectations.

Okay. Okay, how about you are going to
be perfectly adequate?

That's better.

Go adequate!

meeting this week. I knew there was
something great about this week.

Me first.

My plan is to pitch well in today's
game. My goal is to write a good paper

my social studies class.

And my aspiration... What do you think
about me trying out for the varsity

football team?

You're kidding, right? I'm kidding.

She gets this from you.

I have never been more proud.
