Original subtitles

This ain't about guilt, baby. It's about who gets to tell the story.

I left the gun there.

That's what you saw, right?

Were you talking about the murder weapon?

Sam loved Pinkman.

Did Kelly have any run-ins with Pink? What about Baby M. Alexander?

She's got an older brother named Colton. What about him?

Why is it bad living with Charlie?

It's complicated, as the kids say.

She made it very clear after New York that she doesn't want me in her life.

You just jealous because you can't find a man to fuck you?

Gamma would be happy that I'm happy. That's what she wanted. She wanted you

to live. Every time I see Sam, it feels like a hand gripping my throat.

I'll leave after the arraignment tomorrow.

Is the baby dead?

That's what Kelly said, Judge.

Yes, the baby's dead. She's dead because you killed her.

You're right, ma'am.

I felt her kick last night.

The baby's okay.

I was gonna draw the sun, but Sam gets angry when the lights are too bright.

Your sister's been through lots of changes, Charlie Bear.

Remember what the doctor said?

Sometimes people with traumatic brain injuries, they get all caught up in

emotions.

The brains are still trying to rewire themselves.

Just like that old lamp.

Your mama fixed. Remember how it used to flicker?

That's our Sammy.

She's flickering.

Sam loves you so much, baby.

She'll never be back to her old self, but she'll find a new self that we love

even more.

We aren't in a last-word situation.

That's not how you use last word, Dad.

I, uh, left my other cigs back in my jacket pocket.

Doctor says I gotta smoke at least a pack a day.

I'll get them.

Thank you.

You took the air out of my lungs.

Whispered you're weak, but you were wrong.

Like you could rip the roots from me, and I just crawled silently.

From this land, by your hand.

I'm a car woman, put a lighter in my chest.

Thought I wouldn't do it, I meant every word I said.

Don't trust me now.

I'm burning up.

I found the fire that I've always needed. Say, you love me now.

Turn it somehow.

I found the fire that I've always needed.

America, remember.

America, remember.

America, remember. Letter in my chest.

I told Sam that I would drive her into the hauler before she goes home.

I know you're taking over the case, but she wants to tell Ava that Kelly's

pregnant in person.

That's a good idea.

We don't want the coins figuring it out before the family knows.

No offense, Dad, but men are stupid.

They'll think she's getting fat before they think she's pregnant.

How you feeling about old Sammy leaving town tonight?

Well, she's got her teeth in this Kelly Wilson stuff.

She keeps staying. She'll keep staying. It's not what Mama wanted.

I note the lack of an answer to my question.

How do you feel about her leaving?

She apologized to me after the fight in New York.

Said that I deserve to be happy and that she loves me and that the only thing

that makes all the pain bearable is getting shot and losing Gamma.

is knowing that I was able to get away.

There it is.

Another

liquor

run for dad?

It's been both of us.

I took the day off.

Ken is on the rampage. I think Sam really fucked him up.

Can't blow his nose without shitting himself.

Well, I gotta go do something with Sam.

We could polish that off later.

Get in our gym jams, eat a Snick Snack.

Watch that new documentary on the clitoris.

Is that streaming?

I heard no one could find it. You always could.

Oh, I couldn't possibly say no.

Thank you.

I'm almost done with my case notes.

You'll like them on a cocktail napkin.

I keep going back and forth on whether I should say goodbye to Kelly in person.

Dad's meeting with her tomorrow. She won't tell him the truth about the

pregnancy if she doesn't trust him.

She should be bonding with him, not me.

Have you thought about how you're going to tell Ava Kelly's pregnant?

I'm not sure she doesn't already know. Holler people can be cagey. And for good

reason. Rusty wants you to run some names past Ava on who the father might

be. We got Adam Humphrey, Eli for obvious reasons, but tread carefully.

Ditto for Pink and Mason Huckabee.

And Greg Alexander.

According to Jimmy Jack, Kelly had Greg for math two years ago.

Emma Alexander's father?

She also overlapped at school with Colton Alexander, Emma's brother.

He graduated a couple years ago.

Colton's not on our list? Every man and boy in Kelly's life is on our list.

I keep wondering if the pregnancy pushed her over the edge.

Whoever the father is has got to be shitting himself right now.

Kelly's not someone I would trust with a secret.

Mason Huckabee keeps circling Charlie.

Guilty people always want to get close to the investigation.

It's not Huck.

I was geriatric compared to most of the other women at Shady Ray's that night.

And I'm the one he went home with.

Or to the parking lot with.

To his truck with.

How romantic.

You never had a truck fuck?

You know, Huck has a theory that Pink was shot first, once in the chest, once

in the head, then Emma got shot, then the last three shots were fired at

Judith as she was running towards Emma. Where did Huck get this theory?

Theories and things.

Off I-85.

You should talk to him. Dad will talk to him. My obligation ends in approximately

one hour.

Plus the CCTV from the school should fill in some blanks.

Huck says that the kids push the cameras out of the way all the time. Is this the

same Huck who walked off with the murder weapon?

Dad told me that you were cagey about the revolver.

If I put it together, so will the GBI.

Does Theories and Things have a branch in New York City, too?

It's in Prospect Park, near the zoo.

Did you forget something?

No.

I asked Judith if Pink knew Kelly.

She said he never mentioned her.

She wouldn't have if something was going on between them. Pink never tried

anything when he coached me for track. We were alone all the time.

Why are you only focusing on the adult men in Kelly's life?

Statistically, teenage boys don't inspire girls to commit mass murder.

What about the ninth grade gangbang rumor?

Jimmy Jack's shit out of luck. Kids don't talk to pervy old strangers like

they used to.

Keep me updated, girls.

And be careful.

Catch you around.

What the fuck was that?

Why does your car smell like fresh hay?

You think I'm putting moldy hay in my rabbit hatch?

I thought it was chickens.

In New York, you said you were going to raise chickens.

They flew the coop.

You also said you were pregnant.

False alarm.

Thank God.

What time does your flight take off?

It's a private plane. It takes off when I get there.

You could also not take off.

Ben, moving out, is that a new thing or?

Come on, Sam, let's go.

What are you doing here?

Eli's across the road, gonna be back any minute.

I need to speak with you about Kelly.

Ava, I wanted to see you before I leave town.

Kelly's gonna be working with my father from now on.

Rusty's her best chance at a fair trial. Whatever's going on, give it to me

straight.

Ain't nobody like you ever showed up here with good news.

Did you know Kelly's pregnant?

How the hell did I miss it again?

Kelly's been pregnant before?

She was only 14.

I hardly knew what was going on. I had to... I had to tote her down to Atlanta.

She had an abortion?

Did she tell you the name of the father? No, she wouldn't say.

She flat out refused.

Do you have any idea who the father could be this time?

Who the hell knows?

Ava, please focus.

Were there any men in Kelly's life?

Mason Huckabee?

Mr. Huckabee ain't never been nothing but kind to her.

Even offered to help her after class.

And did he help her?

No.

She was already at school enough. I needed her at the store.

Kelly had Greg Alexander for meth two years ago?

Oh, he never even looked at her twice.

What about Douglas Pinkman?

I talked to him a while back when them girls was bullying Kelly, but he said it

can't do nothing about it unless a teacher sees it.

Did you get their names?

No.

And I doubt you can get them out of Kelly.

She don't tell on people.

Oh, I noticed because they...

They tore up her notebook.

Do you think she'd tell me?

You ain't seeing her stubborn side.

When Kelly gets it into her head, she's not going to tell you something that's

locked down tight.

This is a matter of life and death.

Kelly's life, Kelly's death.

Them cops.

They didn't search Kelly's hidey hole over the way.

How often did Kelly sleep out here?

More lately.

Eli's been drinking too much. Turns him hateful.

That's from three years ago. She told me she lost it.

Jesus.

She was just leaving. Shut the fuck

up, woman.

Hey, you ain't representing Kelly anymore.

You understand?

Carter Grail's taking over. That's Kelly's decision.

Eli.

Eli, do it.

Kelly will do what I tell her to, you uppity cunt. Hey!

Please, let's just go inside.

Talk to this uppity cunt.

Charlie?

Charlie?

You

see

what you've done?

Stay. The fuck away from here.

Get inside, bitch.

Let's go.

So what you talking about?

Everyone who did this is an asshole.

There is not a single nice thing about Kelly in here.

Except this. To a special girl I wish I'd gotten to know better. Good luck in

10th grade, Mrs. Pinkman.

Judith must have been the first person Kelly asked to sign this.

That's Adam Humphrey. The boy that Kelly's got a crush on.

Go back?

Division champs go rebels. Thanks for writing.

All of our cocks, you fucking whore. Colton Alexander?

Emma Alexander's brother.

All our cocks, meaning the entire football team? That's the gangbang

rumor?

He was a senior when he wrote that.

She was just a baby.

Well, Kenny thinks that Emma was the original target, and he set it up.

during the arraignment with the whole was-the-baby-killed performance.

That's an easy story to sell.

Kelly murdered baby Emma to get back at Colton.

People love revenge motives.

Kenny is going to talk the jury into killing her twice.

Ava told me Kelly had an abortion in the ninth grade.

Was it Colton's?

Ava doesn't know. Kelly wouldn't tell her.

Is Colton the dad this time? I mean, it could be. I have no idea.

There's no way Emma Alexander's brother is gonna talk to anyone on Kelly's

defense team mother fucker

Colton

works at Shady Rays

Huck works

weekends as a bartender at Shady Rays

Charlotte, if Huck took that gun and if the coins can prove that you knew about

it, that's accessory after the fact and obstruction of justice.

Yeah, I know. I went to law school too.

Then start acting like it.

Stop talking to Huck, especially about the case.

He trusts me.

Text him now.

Tell him you want to see him.

You just told me to stop talking to him. You're not talking to him. I am.

Mason Huckabee? Yeah.

I'm Samantha Quinn.

Where's Charlotte?

Mind if I sit?

Uh, sure.

Yeah.

You, uh, want a drink?

I'd like your opinion on something.

Okay.

Colton Alexander wrote this in Kelly Wilson's ninth grade yearbook.

Jesus.

Yeah, he's a dumb kid.

Made a bad joke. I mean, Kelly would never do something like that.

I'm shocked that you of all people would dismiss the rape of a teenage girl.

Rape?

Where did you get that?

Is it that inconceivable to you that a teenage boy would sexually assault a

girl who has a learning disability?

Kelly's about the same age as your sister was when she died, right?

Anna Lee hanged herself because of your dad.

For two days, I had to watch as he tore her apart on the stand.

Made it seem like she wanted it.

She didn't want it. Do you think that Kelly wanted it?

Tell me about Colton. What's he like?

Did you ever see him with Kelly? No, I would have told Charlotte, look, I pick

up shifts so I can get extra money.

Colton is here to get drunk, to get laid. We're not friends, okay? He's 20

years younger than me.

Did you ever hear any rumors about Kelly at school?

Sexual rumors?

No, no. I'm their teacher.

I'm not their counselor, all right? Look, you're asking me the wrong

questions. What I can tell you is that Pink was shot first. Charlie told me

your theory. Mason, why is it so important for you to help Kelly?

Why is it so important to you?

Because I'm her lawyer.

What do you know about the gun that was used at the shooting?

No more than you.

It was a revolver, correct?

Yeah, it was a snub nose, six shot.

And why did you take it?

You know, I saw what your dad did to the cops who were investigating Annalise's

case. He made all these little mistakes and he turned them into giant ones.

Like they couldn't be trusted.

Losing the murder weapon is a big fucking mistake.

You're implicating yourself in a very serious felony.

I'm trying to help a very vulnerable kid.

You know, it actually warms my heart to see you watching that instead of trying

it. Hey,

where are you going? Why are you running from me, dummy? I'm your lawyer.

My bad, Miss Charlie.

Explain this to me.

Punctuation matters, dipshit.

Is it suck my cum comma monster or suck my cum hyphen monster? Because see, one

of those is calling Kelly a monster and the other one's calling your penis a cum

monster. The whole class on that thing.

It was a joke.

Was Kelly laughing or did she wind up bringing a gun to school? You ain't

gotta be like that.

Everybody knows about the wham-bam.

Girls spent ninth grade getting railed. First of all, there's a name for it.

Wham-bam.

Wham-bammed by whom?

By whom?

The whole fucking team.

Jesus Christ, little Mike.

You don't know shit about fuck.

Was Kelly hanging around with any kids? Any teachers?

What about Adam Humphrey?

Dude's gay.

I heard them Culpepper boys was gonna be the shit out of him.

Whole family left town.

Look, Miss Charlie, all I know about Kelly is sometimes Shaq likes she don't

follow what you're saying because she don't like what she's hearing.

Why does it matter that Douglas Pinkman was shot first?

Everyone's calling him a hero and he was a...

I mean, he didn't give a shit about kids like Kelly.

You know, this red tape and rules.

I mean, he did everything he could to make sure they'd drop out.

What happens if the police search your house?

Well, they never found the revolver. I took care of it.

Well, as an attorney, I feel compelled to advise you that you should report

yourself to law enforcement.

If anything comes out of Colton, he talks about Kelly, I'll let your dad

know.

I know.

It must have been hard coming back from what you went through.

But it looks like you're doing great.

So, glad it all worked out.

Yeah.

I ain't do nothing, Grandma. I promise.

Hey, Mr. Jackson.

I promise.

I'm not 10 anymore.

I don't snitch for Snickers.

Tell me what happened to Kelly Wilson in ninth grade.

Broke up, Ms. Charlie.

You don't snitch on the football team.

This is what I heard, all right?

Me and Kelly's ninth grade year, Colton Alexander invited her to a party.

That asshole got her drunk.

Let the whole team have a turn.

You know she got pregnant, right?

Her mama had to take her down to Atlanta to get rid of it.

I figure that's why she did it.

Did what?

Kill baby Emma.

Three years later?

Sometimes people snap.

No telling what set her off.

Graduation coming up.

Maybe she's been thinking about her baby.

That kind of shit matters to women.

Did you have Kelly in any of your classes?

We got algebra together.

She sleeps most of the time.

What about history? You have Mr. Huckabee?

Nah.

But I was in Mrs. Pink's class and Mr. Huckabee went off on her.

That shit was lit. Mr. Huckabee came into Mrs. Pinkman's room during class

and yelled at her? Uh-huh. About what?

I don't know anything except he came hollering. She shut him down quick.

We were like, holy shit.

Mrs. Pink's a badass bitch, man.

I didn't know she had it in her.

You know...

Sometimes a woman gets called a bitch because she's actually a bitch, and

sometimes a woman gets called a bitch because she takes up for herself.

I don't know, Dad. Something was off with Mason.

I'll stop by the hospital on my way out of town, and I'll fill you in. Sounds

good.

Do me a favor, baby.

There's a photo of Gamma on my desk.

Bring it with you when you come to the hospital.

You'll see it when you walk in.

What is he talking about?

How am I gonna find a picture?

First you gotta find the desk.

I painted this for him in third grade.

Gamma threw it at his head.

And Charlie glued it back together.

It's the Quinn family in three acts.

Don't go without saying goodbye.

Sam?

Sam?

Are you here?

Hey.

Dad wanted me to bring this to the hospital.

I wish I'd had copies made before it got so faded.

I got the story on Kelly's first pregnancy.

Kids call it the wham-bam.

Colton Alexander.

was the ringleader.

Oh, my God.

I was hoping it wasn't true.

My talk with Mason Huckabee was interesting.

Let's go somewhere that doesn't smell like an ashtray.

I don't understand.

It was just a fight. We always make up.

I can't have you in my life anymore.

I love you. I know that you love me, but every time we see each other, we see

what happened, and neither of us will ever move forward if we're always

looking back.

You need to call her.

What, and have her hang up on me again? I can't leave another message where I

say that I'm sorry.

Every time we see each other?

What is she saying? That she...

She can't look at me. I'm too much of a reminder.

I would be... very surprised if that was her actual intention.

It's all my fault, Anton. I've got to learn how to control my anger.

Okay, look, here's what we're gonna do.

All right, we're gonna fly down to Atlanta... and I'm gonna drive you to

Pikeville. That's... that's not a good plan. I can't force her.

I know my sister.

Charlie just needs...

Some time.

The minute something bad happens, she'll pick up the phone.

Charlie always calls me when she needs me.

Little shit never paid me.

Dad won't talk to the GBI about who stabbed him.

Well, if they arrest someone, he'll probably offer to defend the fella.

Oh, don't. It's got boob sweat.

I came back from my run, I saw your tea bags on the counter, and I wiped all of

them under my sports bra.

Mason claims he doesn't know Colton well.

Why do you sound like you don't believe him?

I don't know. He gave me a bad feeling in my body. Gave me a good one.

One of my juvie clients said that Kelly understands more than she lets on.

It would take a high level of intelligence to fool that many people.

No, he wasn't saying she's a psychopath. He was just saying sometimes she checks

out. Kids do it all the time.

They regress when things get difficult.

Another kid I represent said Huck and Judith Pinkman had a fight a couple

months ago.

That's odd. Why would anyone fight with Judith?

I'm gonna ask around.

Most of your clients in juvie? Just the ones who don't listen to me.

What?

You're really good at your job.

So are you.

I'm serious.

You found a way to fight like Rusty, but on your own terms.

Gamma be so proud.

I was married.

Anton died of cancer six months ago.

My ring is in the urn with his ashes, and I wear his just so I have a piece of

him with me all the time.

I need to get it resized, but I'm terrified the jeweler will lose it.

And I taught physics at NYU.

I met at a conference a couple of months before you and Ben came to visit.

I'm happy for you.

I mean, I'm sad that you lost him, but... You would have

liked him, Charlie.

He loved animals.

And reading, and he made puns about everything.

Alarm clocks, iguanas, donkeys.

Was his favorite novel Don Quixote?

Charlotte... I am profoundly sorry for my awful

behavior in New York.

I should never have spoken to you that way.

I was wrong.

I apologize.

That's a very good apology.

I took a master class online.

I know I'm not a box turtle, but you could talk to me.

I'm here.

Your car is waiting in the parking lot.

I can stay.

Well, somebody's going to strip it for parts. I can buy a new one.

You should go to Norway and get a fjord.

Charlie, please.

I don't have to know you to know that something's wrong.

Your light, that bright, effervescent light of yours inside the gamma adored,

it isn't there anymore.

What happened?

Little Bear, look at me.

We can't leave it like this again.

The more people push me to talk to them, the less I want to talk to them. When

you don't talk about the big things, you argue about the little things.

Sam, I really don't need your therapy speak.

I'm fine.

We're good.

You came down. You did your part. You're a good sister and a good daughter. Now

go back to New York and keep living your perfect life.

Dad didn't ask me to come because he got stabbed. He asked me to come because he

said you need me.

He had no right to say that. I don't need anything. And my light, or whatever

the fuck it is, is fine. All we've done since we got here is quibble about

meaningless bullshit. This has to stop. We need to stop.

Okay, Sammy.

Consider it stopped.

Cheese it. Popo's coming.

Doctor's orders.

You look like someone stole your protractor.

Charlie and I got into it again.

It's not like before.

It would have been easier if it was like before.

I can't reach her.

The truth must dazzle gradually, or every man be blind.

Has this got something to do with the truth? Who is M. Pointer, and why is

that Culpepper sending him threats from death row?

That old fella's just being an asshole.

Thought I threw that away.

I've been to your office, Dad. You don't throw anything away. You ever know when

you're gonna need...

17 empty shoeboxes or 2,000 toothpicks.

I recorded Mason Huckabee on my phone admitting that he took the murder weapon

from the crime scene.

Fuck a duck.

I can't get a read on him.

Was he sexually assaulting Kelly?

Is he trying to cover his tracks or is he trying to save her because he

couldn't save his sister?

People sometimes try to rewrite their stories to create a better version of

themselves. He's going to rewrite himself into a prison cell.

I got a lot of regrets about a sister's case.

I made more than a few mistakes.

You? Huh?

Mistakes? The thing about that Huckabee recording was Charlie might end up in

hot water, too.

It has to be her decision whether we use it or not.

The last three years have been hard on her.

What's been hard?

It's for your sister to tell.

Great. I'll... I'll screw in another ten years.

Hi. Hey.

Did Sam leave town?

Um, she is gonna see Dad first, probably to tattle on me.

She keeps insisting that something is wrong.

What?

That's crazy.

Maybe this was a bad idea.

Stay.

Somebody told me you said you were gonna burn them alive.

Well, somebody's a liar.

Because I said that I was gonna smother her to death first.

It doesn't matter.

I need us to fix this.

Everything else has gone to shit.

I need you.

Chuck.

Let me be your wife.

Are you gonna have any?

No, uh...

Okay.

So you're thinking Emma was Kelly's target.

Sounds a bit... a bit tidy.

What you think?

Sweetheart, in patent law, you're working a puzzle.

Criminal cases, it's more like an etch-a-sketch. You gotta keep shaking it

till you get the full picture.

I'm gonna leave you to do the shaking, Dad. I can barely sleep at night

thinking about Kelly.

My latest case is about the diameter of a bolt on a pintle hinge.

City of Portland versus Henry Alameda.

How did you know that case? It was your first criminal trial.

You were shaking like a leaf, but you had him on the ropes in ten seconds

flat. You were there?

Lurking in the back, grinning like a loon.

You were brilliant, baby.

I could see you'd found your place.

Why didn't you come and talk to me?

I wanted to see you. You didn't want to see me.

And before you make excuses, father's job is to love his daughter the way

she needs to be loved.

There's a photograph of your mother.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah,

it's almost completely faded. The color's all bleached. I could get it

restored.

There's another photo.

I took it on our first date.

I invited Gamma for a picnic.

Made the sandwiches myself.

She took it for a romantic gesture, but the truth was I couldn't afford to take

her to a restaurant. Sounds familiar.

Sammy, it was a gorgeous day.

Sun was shining.

Gamma laughed at all my jokes.

She regaled me with some mathematics.

I turned the car radio up, and we danced for what felt like hours.

At least the car battery gave out.

I thought Gamma was going to strangle me right then and there.

But she didn't.

I threw her head back and laughed.

That's when I took the picture.

She was laughing and twirling around.

I felt like there was a string coming out of my heart. Every time she turned,

she was wrapping it tighter and tighter around her body.

I felt like I was a kite being pulled up in the air.

It's beautiful, Dad.

She was a beautiful woman.

Now, the picture, it's at the farmhouse.

Take Charlie with you.

She'll know exactly where to find it.

Then you all come back here, and I'll tell you some more stories.

I'll stay another night.

I'll drag Charlie there in the morning.

Good.

Good.

You sound like a fork stuck in a dishwasher.

That's good.

Get you some water. Yeah, yeah.

Dad, look what I got!

Would you live forever, never die While

everything around passes

Would you smile forever,

never cry While everything you know

passes

Death's like a door to a

place we've never been before.

Death's like space,

the deep sea, a suitcase.
