I don't think david did it.

Wait.

You were the one who told me
he threatened your boyfriend.

You said he'd been stalking you
for some time.

(veronica)
I know.

Call it a hunch
or intuition,

But I was his doctor
for two years.

I just--I don't think
this is something he would do.

Well, the evidence says
he's our guy

And that's what matters
in court.

Okay, so you matched

She set the whole thing up.

She sent david to my house.

She wanted him to get
into a fight with jackson.

That's speculation.

You can't prove that.

She's out to get me,
I know it.

Why?

Why are you so certain

This woman would want
to hurt you?

That part I don't understand.

Uh-huh.

You know, dr. West,

Yes, I'm telling you everything.
