How to Get Away with Murder (2014–…): Season 4, Episode 11 - He's a Bad Father - full transcript

Laurel gets help from an important figure in her past as she deals with details of her past. Meanwhile, Annalise must overcome an obstacle involving one of her clients to her class-action lawsuit.

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

We need a face case,
so the three of you are

gonna dig through this mail
until we find one.

Look at his name.

- What is it?
- Nate Lahey.

There's evidence here that links
Antares to your campaign funds.

- I destroyed it.
- Why?

Because I want to keep my job here.

Tell me you found Dominick.

We have a bigger problem...
Bonnie Winterbottom.

Then make the time for Laurel!



Don't tell me it's about Laurel.
We both know it's not.

Of course it's not!
It was about saving me.

Your mother's files show
a history of mental illness.

Bipolar I.

She was hospitalized until
she was so drugged out

that she was no longer
considered a danger to herself.

Why do you still have Dominick's phone?

It's Christophe.

Laurel, that's your father.
He's been calling every day.

It's not my father!

Hi, Mom.

- That's not Spanish.
- It's French. Quiet.

Did she just say I killed Dominick?

Now's not a good time.



Did you know Nate's dad
has been in jail for 33 years?

- What?
- She didn't know.

See? You owe me 50 bucks.

Connor, explain.

One of the files that came in
is for a 71-year-old

convicted murderer named Nate Lahey.

Okay, that doesn't mean that
that's Nate's father.

I-I hacked into his prison records.

The only family member
listed is our Nate.

Nate didn't tell you any of this?

- No.
- Okay, but why would he put

the file in the mail instead
of just talking to you?

I have to go.

Okay. I know. She can help us.

How? She a French assassin?

- What does she know?
- Almost everything.

- Are you kidding me?
- How?

Dominick's like her son.
They talk every day.

He told her that I was pregnant
and that he was coming here

to tell me that my father already knew.

That's why she kept calling
Dominick's phone,

because she was worried that
something had happened to him.

You have his phone.

That's proof you're the
something that happened to him.

I told her that I found it
in his rental car.

Now she thinks my dad killed him.

It's a lot, I know,
but she's gonna come here,

and she's gonna testify

against my dad at the custody hearing.

- And say what?
- That he's a bad father.

That she saw it firsthand
when they raised me.

This is a good plan.

Stop acting crazy!

I should've left your ass
to rot in the psych ward,

because right now I'm thinking
that's where you need to be.

Had to beg Isaac to get you out,

out of the goodness of my heart.

Meanwhile, I'm neglecting
my class-action suit

all because I want you
to get your son back.

That is all I want, too.

You're the reason why
we're in this mess.

So grow the hell up.

Tell your mother to back off.

Or I'm gonna walk out of here
and I'm not coming back.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

But she's not gonna
sit at home on the couch

now that she knows any of this.

She can help us. I promise.

I thought her mom was crazy.

She's bipolar.

Well, either way, won't
her mental-health issues

make whatever she says
on the stand unreliable?

See? Even the non-lawyer here
thinks this is a terrible idea.

It's not.

And I didn't come here
for any of your opinions.

Not even on that outfit?

Try the pink blazer I had to buy
for Easter at Aiden's mom's.

Okay. Can we talk
about the bigger concern here?

Simon waking up?

That Wes called Dominick.

Christophe called Dominick.

- Why wouldn't he tell any of us?
- Maybe he did.

What does that mean? He told you?

No, but it's obvious that Laurel
likes to hide things from us.

I didn't know about Wes and Dominick.

Better?

The pink feels a-a little cliché.

Laurel.

Why wouldn't Wes tell you that?

I don't know. I just need to focus

on getting my baby back right now.

Look. I'm just saying
it doesn't make sense.

Michaela, I can't start
doubting Wes right now!

Please?

I'm sorry.

It's okay. I think the judge
is really gonna like the pink.

As will my mother.

Let's go.

Okay, boys, let's
get to work on Nate's dad.

Here are all of his arrest
reports, sentencing transcripts...

Oh, my heart can't take
any more injustice.

Annalise doesn't care.

Was it a test?

Did you think I wasn't paying attention?

Maybe.

Did I pass?

He was in jail since I was a kid...

for drugs,

stupid parole violations.

We'd visit him every month,
but Mom cut off contact

after he beat another inmate to death.

I was... 15.

Now we're here.

And honestly I got no idea

if he's a guy who deserves your help.

I'm gonna dig through these files.

- Only if you have time.
- I do.

You've got Laurel's custody hearing...

Nate, let me do something
nice for you for once.

Don't get your hopes up.

I never do.

I've never seen her this nervous.

- I think that's you.
- What?

You're nervous about meeting the mom.

I am not.

We making bets yet?

What are we betting on?

About how crazy she's gonna be.

Okay, no one's allowed
to use that word anymore.

Laurel!

Ohh!

English so that you're
ready for the stand.

Oh. Oui.

Mrs. Castillo, I'm Frank.

- Annalise.
- Yes.

I don't have the words to thank you.

- It's okay.
- No.

You have been more a mother
to Laurel than me lately.

- Come.
- Oh, okay.

- All right.
- Mom.

Let's go. We should go.

Mom, Michaela's gonna go freshen you up

- before we go in.
- Good idea.

Really? Shouldn't we go inside?

Uh, do it now. Just...

Right this way, Mrs. Castillo.

Call me Sandrine.

And here I thought you'd try to
protect your mother from all this.

You gave me no choice.

How is he?

He's perfect.

The doctors are saying
he should be home soon.

Your home, if you'd just
give me what I want.

I don't have the hard drive.

Laurel.

Don't worry. We're finished.

I didn't do it.

Ignore him.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean, "I didn't do it"?

Wes.

It's a shame you're
destroying our family

because of a misunderstanding.

Ms. Castillo, did you use
cocaine during your pregnancy?

Of course not.

Were you ever tested for it?

Yes. My OB, Dr. Huang,

told me that three of my blood panels

had included drug testing.

Objection. Hearsay.

I have the lab reports
right here, Your Honor,

and as you can see,
all show no drug use.

These are all scheduled
appointments, Your Honor.

Are you saying that the
only blood tests that matter

are the ones taken at
St. Edith's lab postpartum?

That is our contention, yes.

Your Honor, I'd like to
enter into evidence

the following records
that show that St. Edith's lab

has had eight false-positive
drug results in the past year.

This data doesn't discredit the fact

that Ms. Castillo was displaying

extreme hypomania
at the time of delivery,

to the point where she was hospitalized

in a psych ward for five days.

Because Ms. Castillo woke up restrained

and discovered that her father
had stolen her son.

Careful, Ms. Keating.

My apologies.

Had gotten custody of her son.

And what was your reaction
to that news, Ms. Castillo?

Devastation.

It was like a part of my body
had been taken, but worse.

At least your child was with your father

and not with a stranger.

I would've felt better if he
would've been with a stranger.

Why? Did you not think

your child was safe
in your father's hands?

My father has never had my,
or anyone in my family's,

best interests in mind.

So you believe that your child
is better off with you?

- Of course.
- Why?

- I'm his mother.
- Well, you've just been through

a very traumatic experience,
Ms. Castillo.

You don't think that you
need time to recover?

Getting my son back is the only
thing that's gonna help me recover.

I never got to see him.

I never got the chance
to hold him, touch him.

Can you imagine?

Having the child who grew
inside of you for seven months,

who you spent every second
worrying about, talking to.

Can you imagine waking up
to find out he'd been taken?

Without your consent?

I love my son.

I just want the chance to be his mother.

It's just round one.

The judge was moved, Laurel.
I saw it with my own eyes.

All I saw was her counting
the minutes till lunch.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

This is what makes her a good lawyer.

Seriously. She seems like a big jerk,

but it... it's all part of her charm.

Who are you again?

Frank, Mom.

I told you about him.

Right.

Let's get you some lunch.

I'll see you guys back here.

We'll hang later.

- Well, that was mortifying.
- It was not.

Oh. What are we doing about
the Christophe voicemail?

'Cause I was thinking we could
get Wes' phone from evidence.

- No.
- It'll help us find out

how many times he and Dominick spoke.

Annalise has already got Bonnie on it.

- They made up?
- For now.

Someone is mirroring my computer.

That's the only explanation, right?

I'd have to come to your office to see.

No, I shouldn't even be
talking to you on my phone.

Wait. Wait. Why?
Do you think this is Denver?

D... You think he's spying on all of us?

- BonBon thinks that?
- Are you serious?

- Just tell them not to worry.
- Uh, okay, but can you j...

What are you doing?

Looking for bugs.

Okay, now I'm scared.

Ms. Castillo,

why were you admitted to a rehab program

when you were a teenager?

Objection. Relevance.

I'm trying to establish
a pattern here, Your Honor.

Overruled. You may answer.

I had an eating disorder.

Really? Because the files on our records

show that this was for cocaine abuse.

I'd only done cocaine a handful of times

to suppress my appetite.

So you admit that you had
done cocaine in the past

- to control your body?
- Objection. Argumentative.

Move on, Mr. Dean.

Ms. Castillo, how many men
were you sleeping with

- when you got pregnant?
- Objection!

Counsel's question is
tantamount to slut-shaming,

- and I'm offended.
- As am I. Sustained.

I'll rephrase.

During your pregnancy,

did you ask for a paternity test?

I did.

And is this the same reason
you told your father

that you had had an abortion?

No. I just didn't want him
to react negatively

to the fact that I was having a child.

But didn't you consider
having an abortion?

The medical record states this.

How much time do I have?

Pennsylvania allows abortions
up until 24 weeks.

It's my legal right to be
informed of my options.

Or is the truth that
you were changing your mind

- about having the child?
- No.

You were so concerned
that he might turn out

like his actual father,
Wesley Gibbins...

- Objection.
- ...a mentally ill sociopath

who admitted to killing other people

- and then killed himself.
- Counsel is testifying!

You took cocaine in order
to harm your unborn child.

No, that's not true.

Well, it's very convenient
of you to say that now.

Your Honor, I'm gonna pull
my client from the stand

if counsel continues
to verbally abuse her.

Mr. Dean, this court will
impose sanctions on you

if this line of questioning continues.

Unnecessary, Your Honor.
The witness is excused.

Are we worried we got this wrong?

- Which part?
- Jorge.

All we know about him
is what Laurel's told us.

So he's gotten into your head, too?

I just want us to be careful.

And I just want people to start

bringing me solutions
instead of problems.

- A.K.
- What's wrong?

I just got through all of
Nate Senior's arrest reports.

We just got through his arrest reports.

Well, technically, I'm the one who

found the more relevant information.

Okay. There's no trophy
involved in this. Spit it out.

What's the verdict? Say it.

He fits the criteria. He's had
over 15 public defenders,

all of whom told him to plead guilty.

Maybe 'cause he was.

Asher found out that they
didn't even take statements

from the other convicts
who saw the murder.

They just took the guards at their word.

He still murdered a guy, Annalise.

I'm not saying that we're gonna
make him our face case,

just that he's no worse than
some of my other plaintiffs.

I called the prison.
We can go visit him tonight.

Tonight? No.

The class goes to trial next week.

I haven't seen the guy since I was 15.

And how has it made you feel
all these years?

Good?

All visitors to Segment 10

have to adhere by the following rules...

no touching, no speaking loudly,

no sudden movements.

This is for your safety,

as well as the safety of the inmate's.

Any questions?

How long's he been in solitary?

Little over two years.

Mr. Lahey, what happened to you
cannot happen again.

And that's what this case is about.

It's about stopping the cycle
of good men going to prison

for crimes that a white man
wouldn't even serve a day for.

And I see it happen
in my profession all the time

and to people that I know
and cared about.

And I want it to stop.

And you can help.

All you have to do...

is sign this.

You don't have to decide today.

That's not why I'm not talking.

I'm just surprised that
you think that a-a, uh...

...broken-ass, old convict like me

could help you with your case.

That's thanks to your son.

He asked me to come see you.

Who did you say asked you
to come see me?

Nate.

But you called him my son.

Hey. It's me. Nate.

It's been a while.

You stopped being my son...

...the moment you became a pig.

You still a pig?

Look. We got a lot to talk through.

You know what a pig is?

He's a bitch for the white man.

You ain't my son.

You ain't my son.

This pig ain't my son!

Lower your voice.

That's you, ain't it?!

- Okay. Visit's over.
- You bitch!

- Visit's over!
- You're just like these,

who have been keeping me
locked up in here!

I don't care. Visit's over.
Get him out of here.

- All these years! You bitch!
- Get him out of here.

It must have been something that I...

Yeah. Get them all out of here!

Get her out of here, too! Take your ho!

Get the hell on out of here!

'Cause I ain't signing
nothing for no pig!

Take your ho and get
the hell on out of here!

I ain't signing a damn thing for you!

I ain't signing nothing!

Hey!

Get out of here!
Get the hell out of here!

There is no scientific basis
for solitary confinement.

It's based on a religious
thing that the Quakers did,

but they created it
as a way for criminals

to spend time alone and repent.

Mm.

It was intended to rehabilitate people,

not to turn them into head cases.

- What are you doing?
- Huh?

Baby, that was a "let's have sex" kiss.

And, literally, you're talking about

the most depressing subject
in the world.

That's my point, is poor Nate's dad's

been locked in a shoebox
for most of his life.

And that's not gonna change tonight,

just like we're not gonna
find out how Wes knew Dominick

or if Laurel's mom's
gonna tank it on the stand

or one of a dozen other worries
that have been flooding my brain

every second of every day.

So, please, can we just...

get out of our heads for one night?

I'm sorry.

Lil' Asher's, uh, still
thinking about Nate's dad.

But I'm happy to alphabet you.

Just hold me.

That's all I really want.

What are you working on?

I'd tell you, but you'd get mad.

Or I'll just get more mad
because you didn't tell me.

Either way... mad.

I'm making a fundraising page

to help Simon's parents come visit him.

Okay. Maybe you shouldn't have told me.

We're helping everyone
else with their parents.

Why wouldn't we help Simon?

- He's brain-dead, Oli.
- You don't know that.

His parents need at least $15,000

to pay a lawyer to get
the visas that they need

to visit their son, who they believe

was so depressed that he shot himself.

I need you to listen to me...

Stop trying to control me.

Not as your boyfriend. As your lawyer.

You were there...

when Simon shot himself
in mysterious circumstances.

Then you went to visit
him in the hospital.

Then you raised money for his parents.

Those are the actions
of a guilty person.

That is what any prosecutor
will tell the jury,

and then you will get caught,
and you will go to jail.

Unless that's what you want.

Look.

it's not crazy, thinking that
you should pay for this.

But you going to jail
will literally break my heart.

So just...

think about that before
you make any decisions.

English. So that you're
ready for tomorrow.

So, this Frank...

Let's not talk about that.

No talking about my love life.

I'm sorry.

I should've told you. I just didn't want

to risk having Dad find out.

You know you don't need to
protect me from him anymore.

I don't know that, actually.

Laurel.

Laurel, please look at me.

I'm doing good right now.

Please don't make this about that.

Please.

I-I've gotten so much better.

You just haven't been
around me enough to see it.

None of this is about you being sick!

It's about my son,
about keeping him safe.

At least that's what I thought I was
doing, but I failed, obviously.

Oh, come here.

Okay, I'm just... I'm... I'm fine.

I'm just... I'm tired and I'm hungry.

Do you have some food?
I can cook you something.

Uh, let's just do take-out.

Thai okay?

They've probably bugged my house, too.

I'll come over, do a sweep.

They'll know I know if you do that.

Or you're just being paranoid.

It's kind of spreading around here.

What's wrong?

Are you seriously considering
keeping more secrets from me?

What if Laurel's wrong?

If Daddy didn't kill Wes?

Then I'll kill her.

- Stop.
- No.

I'm putting my life on the line

by playing your stupid mole here.

We're gonna protect you.

How?

Denver is happy to get rid
of me, however he needs to.

And then after me, it's all of you.

Or is your head too far up
your own ass to realize that?

I'm gonna keep us all safe, Bon.

Just because you keep saying
that doesn't mean it's true.

I mean it. Denver will have to
kill me to get to you.

Hey. Have you heard
anything from Bonnie yet?

We're not talking about that here.

Because she didn't find anything?

Your nosy shtick isn't cute anymore.

This isn't the '50s.
I'm not gonna sit here and smile

like some housewife.

Frank. Where's my mom?

Uh...

I told you to talk to her
while I was in the restroom.

She makes me nervous.

Whatever mean thing you're about to say,

I'm already thinking it.

Ms. Castillo.

Annalise. Hi.

You okay?

I just needed a moment.

- You don't have to do this.
- What?

Laurel's therapist from
the hospital, Dr. Roa,

is testifying on her behalf,

so if you're too scared
to take the stand...

- I can do it.
- Can you?

Your ex-husband is
a very intimidating man.

I can handle him.

Yeah, but if you're
anything less than perfect,

Laurel loses custody.

Testifying in a case like this
would be hard for anyone.

You mean hard for someone
with mental-health issues.

My job is just to protect Laurel.

And what do you think my job is?

- How dare you.
- Maman!

- What's wrong?
- Absolutely nothing.

Do you swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth?

- She looks scared.
- What the hell did you

- say to her out there?
- Nothing.

And what did I tell you
about letting me do my job?

Ms. Keating?

Ms. Castillo, is it safe to say

that you think Laurel
would make a good mother?

An excellent mother.

And how would you know
what a good mother is?

From what my client has told me,

you weren't exactly
a good mother yourself.

Please answer the question.

I was overwhelmed during
much of Laurel's childhood,

but mostly due to the fact

that my husband was
having numerous affairs.

So Mr. Castillo is to blame
for your bad mothering?

Objection. The Castillos' marriage
is not on trial here.

Sustained.

Is it true that you dragged
a 7-year-old Laurel

out of bed at 3:00 a.m.

to help you repaint the poolhouse,

an incident that caused you to
be involuntarily hospitalized?

I don't see what any of this
has to do with Laurel.

Well, Laurel witnessed both events.

No wonder she would later
need to go into rehab.

She probably felt like it was a
vacation from that kind of chaos.

That was a time I was
improperly medicated.

And I'm offended that you're implying

that people with mental-health issues

- cannot be good parents.
- I'm not implying anything.

I'm simply asking you whether you think

you took care of your daughter.

Objection. Asked and answered.

The witness has made a lot of excuses,

but I still haven't heard an answer.

So tell us the truth.

Were you the mother
that Laurel deserved?

I was not.

Laurel spent most of her
childhood taking care of me.

So what you're telling me
is that Laurel helped you

through these mental-health episodes?

Yes.

She talked to me each night

until I fell asleep.

She made sure I ate,

took my medication...

bathed me.

That's how I know Laurel
will be an excellent mother.

Because she had always been one for me.

No further questions.

Let's take a short
recess before Ms. Castillo's cross.

Thanks again for doing this.

That's actually what I came
to tell you. I can't do it.

I'm kidding. I'm... I'm all set.

I don't have the energy
for jokes right now.

Okay, you're gonna be
the first one on the stand

after Laurel's mother finishes.

And then I'm gonna start
with your credentials

and ask how many courts
have relied on...

On my opinion. I-I know, Annalise.

I have done this before.

Not with me. I'm tough.

And so am I.

And that's what I'll testify to...

that I was extremely discerning
when I did Laurel's psych eval

and that she passed with flying colors.

Therefore, any questions
about her mental competency

are unfounded.

I also want to hit home

that using the mother's
mental-health history

against Laurel is unwarranted.

Her mother's mental illness...

Your father never
had a psych evaluation.

So...?

So, he's mentally ill. We both saw that.

Jail makes everyone insane.

But studies have proven that
solitary affects the brain.

It causes paranoia
and psychotic delusions.

Now, not once was your father
ever treated.

You don't have to do this.

What?

- Try and make me feel better.
- I'm not.

I made a mistake, okay?

I knew it from the minute
I put that file in the mail.

Some people cannot be helped,
and he's one of 'em.

I've known that my whole life,
and I was fine with that.

I moved on.

There are people we just got to let go.

- No.
- I'm telling you to stop.

Not one of your dad's public defenders

considered an insanity plea
in any of his cases,

not even the murder charge that happened

right after he spent a year in solitary.

He was mentally ill, and they
tried him like he was competent.

That's the very definition of
ineffective assistance of counsel.

- You heard him. He's not gonna sign up.
- Then you convince him.

You have more than enough plaintiffs.

Because I want to make him my face case!

I don't need a model prisoner.

I need someone that the system
has completely broken down,

and that's him.

Now, I'm not asking you
to do it for you.

Do it for me.

Is this gonna be a thing?

What's that?

This pig visit.

Sit down.

Listen.

This lawyer, Ms. Keating.

She really wants you
to sign up for her case.

You two bonin'?

To be honest with you,

I got a whiff of your
mother off of that one.

Stop. Okay?

I did time, too, not like you,

but enough to know what breaks guys...

waking up to the same thing every day,

being around people all the time,

paranoia that someone's always coming

to take what little you got.

There ain't nobody taking
nothing away from me.

- The system took from you.
- Well, it didn't break me.

I'm still here.

Maybe. But...

you're also not well.

Well enough to whip your pig ass.

You're sick, is what
I'm trying to tell you.

Your brain is sick.

The way you feel...

...getting angry...

the outbursts.

You probably get real low, too, right?

Out of nowhere.

Maybe you even hear things or...

see things that aren't really there.

This place...

This place did that to you.

And it's not right. We both know that.

I know you haven't meant anything to...

anyone for a long time,

but if you sign up for this case,

win or lose,

you will mean a lot
to people who need help.

Including me.

Your witness, Mr. Dean.

We have no questions for
this witness, Your Honor.

- You're excused.
- What's going on?

You may call your
next witness, Ms. Keating.

I'd like to call
Dr. Isaac Roa to the stand.

Dr. Roa, why were you confident

that Laurel should be released
from the inpatient center?

Well, both myself and the
mental-health administrator

from St. Edith's agreed

that Laurel exhibited
no signs of drug withdrawal

that would be expected
from a habitual drug user.

She also showed no signs
of depression or self-harm

that would require her
to be hospitalized.

So in your expert opinion,

is there any reason why Ms. Castillo

should be deemed unfit
to care for her newborn baby?

None whatsoever.

Thank you, Dr. Roa.

Your witness.

Dr. Roa, your career
as an addiction counselor

started as a result

of your own drug addiction, correct?

Objection. Inflammatory.

Goes to his credibility, Your Honor.

Overruled. You may answer.

Yes, Your Honor.

I am a recovering heroin addict, yes.

I find that it's one of the things

that best helps me to empathize

with the struggles
that my patients suffer.

Interesting. Is it also true
that you were investigated

as a person of interest in the
death of your daughter Stella?

Objection. Dr. Roa's personal life

should not be taken into account here!

If we are supposed to
trust Dr. Roa's opinion

about a young woman's mental health,

certainly his actions
regarding his own daughter

speak to his credibility.

Overruled. I'll allow it.

I was interviewed briefly.

The police informed me
that it was routine,

and they eventually
determined that she, uh...

committed suicide.

How did she commit suicide?

Pills.

- What kind?
- Oxycodone.

Which is an opioid, like heroin.

Is that a coincidence?

Objection. Calls for speculation.

Let me offer proof.

During the vetting of Dr. Roa,
our investigators uncovered

that Stella Roa had
no history of drug abuse.

She had a history of
mental-health issues.

You claimed that you found her
unconscious when she died,

but the security system shows
that you entered the house

15 minutes before you called 911.

Now, what elapsed during that time?

Your Honor, this case has been
closed for several years!

Were you staging your
daughter's suicide?

Any evidence from opposing counsel

hasn't been verified yet, Your Honor.

Not true, Your Honor.
Due to this new evidence,

the D.A.'s office is, in fact,
reopening Stella's case

and investigating Dr. Roa for murder.

Judge, counsel has no standing

to speak on behalf of the D.A.'s office.

We can get the A.D.A.
down here right now.

I'm sure they would love
to ask Dr. Roa...

Sanction Mr. Dean immediately.

- Mr. Dean, not another word.
- Why kill her?

- Were you molesting her?
- Your Honor!

Were you afraid she
would tell her mother?

One more word, and
I hold you in contempt.

Apologies, Your Honor.

But I beseech the court
to strike Dr. Roa's testimony

from the record as unreliable,

due to his status as a suspect

in an active homicide investigation.

Is it true? Are they investigating him?

Denver's personally overseeing the case.

Of course.

And Jorge's paying the whole police
department to make it look real.

Unless it is real.

They're framing him,
just like they did me.

I'm just saying, the evidence
they have on him looks real.

I'm the devil.

You didn't cause this.

I begged him to help me.

Stop. All right?

You can't afford to make this
about yourself right now.

Judge has a decision.

Our research shows keeping an infant

with their mother is
always the ideal outcome,

and whenever the evidence allows,

I will come to that conclusion.

But because I must now exclude

any of the evaluations
proffered by Dr. Roa,

I have no expert to corroborate
Ms. Castillo's claim

that she's mentally fit
to care for her child.

Therefore, I have decided
to extend the initial custody

and have the child remain in the care

of his maternal grandfather.

The petition for custody is denied.

What about visitation, Your Honor?

I need to confer with the
Department of Human Services.

After that, you and your client

will be notified
about a visitation schedule.

Why can't we do that today?

That's not how this works, Ms. Keating.

Don't do anything stupid.
He'll win for good.

Mom?

Hmm?

What if I'm wrong?

About?

Dad.

What if he didn't hurt Wes?

This is what he wants, honey,
for you to doubt yourself.

Well, it's working.

Wes is going to come home.

- What?
- Baby Wes.

Maybe not today or tomorrow.

But he'll be here soon.

This is the cellphone of Isaac Roa.

If this is an emergency,
please call 911.

He's in.

- No.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

He could be the downfall
of your whole case.

I'd wait on the "thank you."

Can I take you to dinner?

Uh. Oh, Nate.

I can't.

You're right.

Talk to you soon.

Where is that? Where is that?

Hey! Who took my... Who took...

Ohh! Ah.

Oh, God.

Oh, damn.

Oh, damn.

Hey!

- What the hell?!
- Join the party!

Why are we having a party?

We found a face case. It's Nate's dad!

Wha...

We're finally gonna do
something nice for someone.

- Put me down!
- Aw, come on, Michaela.

Look. Even I'm dancing!

Laurel lost her hearing!

Her dad's keeping the baby.

Isaac, it's Annalise. Open up.

Isaac!

I'm sorry. I know it's not true.

It's just...

This about Isaac?

'Cause I don't have time
to touch that mess.

It's about Wes' phone.
I got his call log.

He only called Dominick that once.

So we're screwed on all fronts.

D-Depends on how you look at it.

Wes entered an address into his
map the day before he died.

I pulled the street-camera
footage. And look who he met.

Dominick? Daddy?

No.

Mommy.
