How to Get Away with Murder (2014–…): Season 4, Episode 12 - Ask Him About Stella - full transcript
In Annalise's case to help Laurel, damaging details about a key witness are revealed. The Keating Four continue to work on Annalise's class action lawsuit.
Previously on "How to Get Away
With Murder"...
Did you know Nate's dad
has been in jail for 33 years?
You have more than
enough plaintiffs.
I want to make him
my face case.
He's in.
The D.A.'s office
is investigating
Dr. Roa for murder.
Judge Williams: I have
decided to have the child
remain in the care of
his maternal grandfather.
Wes entered an address into
his map the day before he died.
I pulled the
street-camera footage.
Dominick
Mommy.
Were you staging
your daughter's suicide?
He drugged his own daughter.
Why kill her?
Were you molesting her?
[ Indistinct conversations,
horns honking ]
Woman: Next!
-Cheeseburger and fries.
Can I have that
wrapped in foil?
Coming up.

Bonnie: Could you get
any more creepy?
Can't be too careful.
All I could get was Sandrine's
Social Security number.
Ah, it's perfect.
Here. Take this.
So we can talk without Denver
or Jorge eavesdropping.
Plug this into
your car's data port.
It'll ding me if anyone
messes with the brakes.
What, no gun?
Like you don't already
have one under the mattress.
And Laurel? Will you let me know
when you tell her?
I'm not telling her.
Until she makes googly eyes
at you and you cave.
Let's figure out what Mom's
deal is, then tell her.
You mean if you
figure it out.
Don't go telling Annalise
any of this.
Whatever you say, Frank.
-Hey.
-Bonjour, mon ami!
Hey. What are you
doing here?
I thought your mother
was still here.
Oh, I put her on a plane
back to Mexico
until the visitation
is scheduled.
I know what'll cheer you up
till then. Homemade croissants.
We've all been through
so much, you especially,
so I figured why not
experience some joy for once?
Hmm.
I'm staying forever.
Get to work. The class-action
trial's next week.
Oh, speaking of.
Hey. We're all here.
Did you get me
into the prison?
Connor:
Yeah, you're cleared
to see old man Lahey
every day this week.
And the draft of my
opening statement?
We're gonna dig in
on that now.
Uh, I have a question,
actually.
Do you plan on paying
any us for this?
-Michaela.
-As much as I wish
I could reform the entire
justice system on my own,
I need help,
whoever's willing.
We are all
willing and grateful
for the opportunity to be a part
of something this epic.
Hey, Annalise.
It's Laurel.
Any update on the
baby visitation?
I was thinking if we got
Isaac's investigation drop--
Why didn't you
call me back last night?
I was at my girlfriend's.
Annalise: Jorge's lawyers
made up that evidence.
Everyone in the courtroom
knew that.
Then why is the D.A.
investigating me?
Well, the investigation
means nothing if they
don't charge you.
And if they do? Do you
understand what this
would do to Jacqueline?
She's not
gonna find out.
-You don't know that!
-I do, too!
Listen.
If the D.A.'s office
goes anywhere near you,
Jacqueline, or anyone else,
I'll find out.
You have Bonnie
working on this?
You can trust her.
You two were just trying
to destroy each other!
But we worked it
all out, Isaac.
Especially now
that you need us.
-God knows we both owe you.
-Okay. Listen.
I'm the reason why you're
in this mess. Let me fix it.
It's not that, okay?
Just let me say this.
Is it Stella?
-No.
I can't fix anything
if you lie to me.
I lied to you about
where I was last night.
Not about Stella.
Never about Stella.
I don't have
a girlfriend. It's...
I was here.
I was high.
Heroin?
K-pex. It's an opioid.
If you want to walk
out of here right now,
I'll understand, okay?
Why'd you do it?
It was a mistake.
A mistake that felt good?
Hey, look at me! Look how much
I'm hating myself here!
I was sober for 23 years
until last night,
and I threw it all away
for nothing.
Ohh...
I'm not going down
that hole again.
That's good, Isaac, because if
you do, you could go to jail.
I need to be on
my best behavior now, right?
No, you need to go to a meeting.
AA, NA, whatever your thing is.
I lost my therapist.
My life is all stress right now.
I'll go with you,
if that helps.
You don't have to do that.
I want to.
Annalise: Ooh, finally.
This was the only thing
getting me through
Cocaine Lady's whining.
Really? 'Cause she just had me
thinking about the '80s.
I never got into cocaine.
You know,
even during law school
when they were practically
serving it on trays.
There was free cocaine,
and you didn't get into it?
I had already discovered
vodka in undergrad,
so I was good to go.
Ah.
Mmm. And you?
When did you start?
It was after undergrad
for me. Um...
I moved into New York,
thinking that I was gonna
be in a band or a writer.
Just as long as I wasn't
a doctor like my sisters.
You know how it is.
You're just trying whatever
you have the chance to.
So I-I tried things.
All of them.
But, um...
heroin...
It was good.
10 years later...
I'm pretty much homeless,
I'm not talking to my family.
Hmph.
One night, I'm in line
in this bodega,
and there's this girl
in front of me
and she's trying to
return some potato chips,
saying that the bag was open
when she, uh, bought it.
The kid, the cashier says
he has to go talk to the owner,
so I'm like -- I'm freaking
annoyed now, you know?
So, this girl turns around,
I guess to apologize.
She has this smile on her face
that just, uh...
It just went
right through me.
It hit me right there,
and I-I knew I wanted
something else.
Jacqueline. Yeah.
I mean, I wanted a life
with her, too, now.
But, uh...
She helped me.
Got me clean.
Went back to school.
Had Stella. Yeah.
Things were good for
a long time, you know, uh...
Waitress:
Fresh coffee?
Yeah.
Waitress: Syrup.
Bonnie: I heard Denver
assigned you the Isaac Roa case.
You jealous?
Only because you'll get to
go up against Annalise
if you charge him.
Oh, you're still holding
a grudge against her.
If you knew our history,
you'd understand.
Well, tell me more.
Buy me a drink. Or five.
I'll tell you all of it.
The point is,
if you want the help,
I could look over his file,
help you figure out the
Annalise defense angle.
Oh, we haven't even
charged the guy yet.
Then I'll help you figure out
how to charge him.
You're scared I'm gonna
steal the case. Never mind.
Look. All right.
I surrender.
Here.
If you actually figure out
how to charge the guy,
I'll buy you that drink.
Drinks.
Annalise is a great storyteller.
That's why she wins.
So let's use
Nate Senior's story
as the framework
for her opening.
This is a civil trial.
There's no jury.
The judge isn't gonna care
about some sob story.
We have a face case
for a reason.
Fine. You write up your version.
I'll write up mine.
Or we all just
snickerdoodle...
and chill.
-Oh! I love the new you!
-Two, please.
Look. I've been on this case
longer than any of you.
We do what I say.
Sob story, it is.
-If I'm lucky.
You're always lucky.
Why is Frank calling me?
-O-man, I need that
big, beautiful
brain of yours.
For what?
I'm trying to use
the SS7 program
to hack into
some phone records.
That's for hacking
international phones.
-I know that.
Dominick's, obviously,
which means he and Bonnie
still don't know why
Wes left that voicemail.
Tell Michaela
to stay in her lane.
-Frank, it's me.
-Give the phone back to Oliver.
Laurel: Is Michaela right? Are
you hacking Dominick's phone?
-No.
-Frank, if you do anything
to piss my father off
right now,
he is going to figure out a way
to block me from seeing my son.
So stop, okay?
Okay.
Are your fingers
crossed?
I heard you. I'll stop.
Thank you.
Annalise: You've been doing
so well during our prep,
I've decided to call you as
my first witness in the trial.
Mm. You say that
like you're surprised.
I'm impressed.
That means that we have to
go over your testimony again.
No. No.
I'm sick of myself.
Yeah, but the more
you tell your story,
the easier it'll be
for you on the stand.
And it means more time
out of the SHU.
It's not a bad deal,
right?
Connor: "Nathaniel Lahey Senior
was just 26 years old
when his life was hijacked
by the justice system.
Before that, he was
just your average man
trying to keep a roof
over his family's head."
A man's got one job
in my book.
That's to put food
in his kid's mouth.
No. I did what I had to do,
took what I needed.
-You stole what you needed.
-You watch your kids be hungry.
See if you don't steal
some food stamps, cash,
whatever's around.
I never stole nothing
that wasn't for my family.
Michaela:
"The for-profit private
prison system in this country
has made commodities
of human bodies.
African-American bodies,
in particular,
are incarcerated more than
five times the rate of whites."
In 1982,
you violated your parole three
weeks after being released.
Can you explain that
for the court?
I came home to a bill
from the prison,
charging me thousands
in court fees.
How they expect me to pay
when I couldn't get a job?
I was a convicted felon.
Asher:
You should quote Jay-Z.
He wrote a New York Times op-ed
about the parole system.
The judge isn't gonna
know who Jay-Z is.
No, it's not about Jay-Z.
It's about the fact
that even the slightest
probation infraction
can send you back to jail
for a sentence longer
than your original crime.
I wasn't allowed
to get a traffic ticket
or be near liquor.
Miss my curfew? Oh.
Laurel:
Add a section about
the systematic
destruction of families --
that the children that are
separated from their parents
are more likely to fall into
a life of crime themselves.
I'm not talking
about my baby.
Each time I went back to jail,
I was a target.
Everybody wanted to
test out the boxer.
They'd taunt me
till I had no choice.
It was kill or be killed.
Shouldn't we at least
address the murder?
Who did he murder?
I didn't wanna hurt that fella.
He come at me in the yard,
talking about he wanted
to see what the boxer
had inside of him.
He threw the first punch.
I swear.
Then something...
Then something
went off in me and...
I blinked,
and I was on top of him,
pounding as hard
as I could.
I felt his skull crack
under my fist.
♪♪
They say it took,
uh, five C.O.'s...
to pull me off of him.
Do you remember how long
you had been in solitary
before this happened?
Oh. A month?
No. A year.
Connor: "Yes, this was
an act of extreme violence,
but it was violence that stemmed
from the 12 brutal,
inhumane months
that Mr. Lahey spent
in solitary confinement."
Calm down, Atticus.
"My client was not
born a criminal..."
"...but born into a system
that made him one."
So...what do you think?
It's good, right?
-Doesn't sound like me.
-That's what I told him.
Thanks for your hard work,
but I'm gonna wing it.
Fail.

Judge Salinas:
This is the class-action trial
of Lahey vs. the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Today we'll begin
with opening statements.
Witness testimony
and documentary evidence
will be tomorrow.
Ms. Keating, please, begin.
Annalise:
Thank you, Judge Salinas.
Today, I'm proud to present
the class action
that has the potential
to correct
the most egregious inequities
poisoning our country.
Uh, my apologies,
Your Honor.
The attorney general sent me
to notify you and Ms. Keating
that no trial will be
happening here today.
-Explain, Counsel.
This morning,
the attorney general
received a
King's Bench petition
from the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court.
They're pulling the case
from trial court
in order to
hear it themselves.
Asher: Oh, God.
Why "Oh, God"?
What's happening?
They're stealing the case.
Your Honor, the governor
and attorney general
have clearly called in
some backroom favors
to make sure I don't get
a chance to argue my case.
Not true, Judge.
As the petition states,
the State Supreme Court
has asked that both sides
submit a written brief
in lieu of a trial.
The entire case is predicated
on the fact that my plaintiffs
have never seen
the inside of a court,
and now it's
happening again.
You can put this all
in your brief to the
justices, Ms. Keating.
A written document
cannot communicate
the gravity of injustice
at stake here.
I agree with you,
but we all know
the seven justices
in Harrisburg
rule over
whatever decision I make.
This decision is out of
my hands, Ms. Keating.
Court adjourned.
♪♪
Wait. I thought getting to go
to the State Supreme Court
was the whole point
of this thing?
But I don't get to go.
They just want me
to write a brief.
That way, it's easier for them
to throw the whole thing out.
And you're just gonna take
their no for an answer?
I didn't even know that was
an option with you.
Shut your mouth.
You should take it.
I have to go.
Annalise.
-Please. Don't rush out.
I have a whole brief
to write.
Stella.
Stella passed
three years ago today.
That's the only reason
she's calling.
Well, she's your ex-wife.
Of course she would call.
We haven't spoken since
our fight about you.
You should call her back.
I'm too pissed. Uh...
Oh, no, you don't get to be
pissed. Not on a day like this.
Most days I don't even miss Sam.
And I mean that.
But when I drive by
a car accident or see a baby...
...he's the only one
I want to talk to.
So, who's buying this time?
-My turn.
-Me.
You got the last one.
Miller: You find my
smoking gun on the doctor?
Not yet. I mean, Stella
had a history of depression.
Antidepressants.
She just failed out of school.
There's the suicide note
she texted her mom.
Um, what about waiting
15 minutes to call 911?
I'm just saying
I need more time.
Yeah, that's fine.
But at least let's go
get that drink.
It's a personal call.
You mind?
Senior: So I spilled
my guts for nothing?
No. Everything you
told Annalise, she
will put in the brief.
Seven judges will read it
and, we hope,
decide in our favor.
Look at where
I live, man.
I know how to take
bad news.
This isn't bad news.
They just changed the rules.
No trial, no witnesses.
What kind of trial got
seven judges, no jury?
-You changed your mind, is all.
-No, no, no.
What kind of monster
would crush a man's skull?
I'll show you the paperwork
if you don't believe me.
There's no way in hell you're
gonna put him on the stand.
I ain't gotta look
at no paperwork to know
when I'm being played.
It's your hoochie, right?
Yeah, she's afraid
I'm a bad look for her case.
I get it.
There's people you can't
trust, especially in here,
but I'm not one of them.
I got your back.
Guard!
I want back to my house.
Guard: You sure? You still
have a few minutes left.
No, I'm done.
For good.
People of color
represent about 60%
of the people living
below the poverty line.
But most of the justices
who will be reading
this brief are white!
We have to offset that bias.
Annalise will agree with me!
I think Annalise would
also agree that this is
my best batch of joy yet.
A week ago, you could
care less about this case.
A week ago, I didn't
know that this case
had the potential to go
to the Supreme Court!
It already is at
the Supreme Court!
The actual United States
Supreme Court!
You actually think
that's possible?
Seriously? Because I should
probably spend less time baking.
Yeah, I get it now. Your
sudden interest in this case
is all about getting your name
mentioned in the brief.
Someone's name
has to go in it.
Yeah, mine.
You think Dershowitz
put his secretary's
name in his briefs?
I am not
Annalise's secretary!
-Okay, beauty-school dropout.
-She has a point.
-No, she doesn't.
Look how invested
you are, Connor.
Like, you're all up in arms
about the Constitution.
That's some real nerdy
law-school behavior.
Why don't you
just re
Laurel: Oh, my God. The --
The judge just e-mailed me,
and I get to meet my baby
at the hospital tomorrow.
Baby, baby, baby!
Amazing!
Oh, my God.
I have to buy my mom's flight.
-Whoo!
-Yeah! Baby!
I got into Mommy's
phone records.
Only took you a week.
Don't be mean. She called
Jorge every day this week.
They're working together.
You have to tell Laurel.
Not until after
she meets the baby.
She's gonna see them both
at the hospital, Frank.
She deserves to know.
You've been bad,
haven't you?
Depends. That some
sort of come
You came to confess
that you couldn't leave
the voicemail alone
and you found
some crazy news
about how Wes used to be
secretly an FBI agent --
I'm not here
about the voicemail.
Then what is it?
I hit you. That's why
the baby came early.
No.
Michaela told me,
so don't go trying
to protect me.
And don't get mad at her.
I needed to know.
-I don't blame you.
-You should.
No. This whole mess --
Dominick, my father,
the baby coming early --
I made all of that happen.
My elbow made it happen,
and now I want to be there
for you as much as I can.
So...can I go
to the visitation?
Um, well,
my mom's meeting me.
Your dad has to be there,
too, right?
I can handle him.
You shouldn't have to
worry about him.
Make that my job, and you
can just be with your kid.
Please. I-I need to do
something good for you.
Otherwise, this Catholic
guilt might kill me.
Connor: We analyzed years
of written briefs that went
to the State Supreme Court.
Based on those statistics,
we think you should start
your argument
emphasizing
14th Amendment violations.
And if you don't agree,
I e-mailed you
an alternative structure
starting with the 6th Amendment.
You didn't tell me
you did that.
Oh, quiet.
They're both good.
Well, if you had to choose,
which is better?
I helped on
both versions, A.K.

Bonnie:
It's about Isaac.
Good news or bad?
Good, I think.
There is bruising that proves
Isaac did CPR on Stella,
which also
can explain away
the 15 minutes
before he called 911.
That, combined
with her psych history,
makes it pretty easy
to convince Miller
to close
the investigation.
It just depends whether
Denver will let him.
What is it?
The drug she took.
K-pex.
K-pex.
It's an opioid.
What's wrong?
Jorge's lawyers were
telling the truth.
What?
Did you give Stella
those drugs?

Stella was living

She'd just dropped out

I had gotten home.

I thought
I hid them well.
But she must have known
something was up with me.
You told me you had
been sober for 23 years.
I lied.
Stella?
Stella!
She had taken just about
every pill in that bag.
Was she trying to kill herself?
I don't know.
All I do know...
is that she had grown up
her whole life
hearing me talking
about my struggle...
No, no, no, no.
...how drugs
almost killed me...
to the point that my entire life
had been about being sober.

Stop. You got this.
What's up?

I'm with you. There's
not enough to charge him.
But I'd be an idiot

You know,
I probably would have
just let that case
sit on my desk,
but then you came in here
smiling at me,
which was weird
for so many reasons.
But, really,
it made me realize
that you're still
working for Keating.
And nothing you wrote
explains why a girl with
no history of drug abuse
suddenly died
from the very opioids
that her father
was addicted to.
So I went to Denver,

to charge Dr. Roa
with death by delivery.
Maybe even murder two.

someone to stand up to you

Tell me no?
Listen.

something to lose here

-That's because of you.
-I didn't ruin you.
You were that way when we met,
probably your whole life.
And if there's anything
that you've taught me,
it's that I can't make anyone
who they don't want to be!

Oh, I put her on a plane

I know what'll cheer you up

Hmm.
I'm staying forever.

Hey. We're all here.
Did you get me

Yeah, you're cleared

every day this week.
And the draft of my

We're gonna dig in

Do you plan on paying

-Michaela.
-As much as I wish
I could reform the entire

I need help,

We are all

Hey, Annalise.
It's Laurel.
Any update on the
baby visitation?
I was thinking if we got
Isaac's investigation drop--
Why didn't you
call me back last night?
I was at my girlfriend's.
Annalise: Jorge's lawyers
made up that evidence.
Everyone in the courtroom
knew that.
Then why is the D.A.
investigating me?
Well, the investigation
means nothing if they
don't charge you.
And if they do? Do you
understand what this
would do to Jacqueline?
She's not
gonna find out.
-You don't know that!
-I do, too!
Listen.
If the D.A.'s office
goes anywhere near you,
Jacqueline, or anyone else,
I'll find out.
You have Bonnie
working on this?
You can trust her.
You two were just trying
to destroy each other!
But we worked it
all out, Isaac.
Especially now
that you need us.

-Okay. Listen.

It's not that, okay?
Just let me say this.

-No.
I can't fix anything

I lied to you about

Not about Stella.
Never about Stella.

Heroin?
K-pex. It's an opioid.

Why'd you do it?
It was a mistake.
A mistake that felt good?
Hey, look at me! Look how much
I'm hating myself here!
I was sober for 23 years
until last night,
and I threw it all away
for nothing.
Ohh...
I'm not going down

That's good, Isaac, because if
you do, you could go to jail.

I want to.
Annalise: Ooh, finally.
This was the only thing
getting me through
Cocaine Lady's whining.
Really? 'Cause she just had me
thinking about the '80s.
I never got into cocaine.
You know,
even during law school
when they were practically
serving it on trays.
There was free cocaine,
and you didn't get into it?
I had already discovered
vodka in undergrad,
so I was good to go.
Ah.
Mmm. And you?
When did you start?
It was after undergrad
for me. Um...
I moved into New York,
thinking that I was gonna
be in a band or a writer.
Just as long as I wasn't
a doctor like my sisters.
You know how it is.
You're just trying whatever
you have the chance to.
So I-I tried things.
All of them.
But, um...
heroin...
It was good.
10 years later...
I'm pretty much homeless,
I'm not talking to my family.
Hmph.
One night, I'm in line
in this bodega,
and there's this girl
in front of me
and she's trying to
return some potato chips,
saying that the bag was open
when she, uh, bought it.
The kid, the cashier says
he has to go talk to the owner,
so I'm like -- I'm freaking
annoyed now, you know?
So, this girl turns around,
I guess to apologize.
She has this smile on her face

right through me.

something else.
Jacqueline. Yeah.
I mean, I wanted a life

She helped me.
Got me clean.
Went back to school.

Yeah.
Waitress: Syrup.
Bonnie: I heard Denver
assigned you the Isaac Roa case.

if you charge him.
Oh, you're still holding
a grudge against her.
If you knew our history,
you'd understand.
Well, tell me more.
Buy me a drink. Or five.
I'll tell you all of it.
The point is,
if you want the help,
I could look over his file,
help you figure out the
Annalise defense angle.
Oh, we haven't even
charged the guy yet.
Then I'll help you figure out
how to charge him.
You're scared I'm gonna
steal the case. Never mind.
Look. All right.
I surrender.

how to charge the guy,
I'll buy you that drink.

Annalise is a great storyteller.

For what?
I'm trying to use
the SS7 program
to hack into
some phone records.
That's for hacking

-I know that.
Dominick's, obviously,
which means he and Bonnie
still don't know why
Wes left that voicemail.
Tell Michaela
to stay in her lane.
-Frank, it's me.
-Give the phone back to Oliver.
Laurel: Is Michaela right? Are
you hacking Dominick's phone?
-No.
-Frank, if you do anything
to piss my father off
right now,
he is going to figure out a way
to block me from seeing my son.
So stop, okay?
Okay.
Are your fingers
crossed?
I heard you. I'll stop.
Thank you.
Annalise: You've been doing
so well during our prep,
I've decided to call you as
my first witness in the trial.
Mm. You say that
like you're surprised.
I'm impressed.
That means that we have to
go over your testimony again.
No. No.
I'm sick of myself.
Yeah, but the more
you tell your story,
the easier it'll be
for you on the stand.

from the prison,
charging me thousands
in court fees.
How they expect me to pay
when I couldn't get a job?
I was a convicted felon.
Asher:
You should quote Jay-Z.
He wrote a New York Times op-ed
about the parole system.
The judge isn't gonna

that even the slightest
probation infraction

to notify you and Ms. Keating
that no trial will be

-Explain, Counsel.
This morning,
the attorney general
received a
King's Bench petition
from the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court.
They're pulling the case
from trial court
in order to
hear it themselves.
Asher: Oh, God.

They're stealing the case.
Your Honor, the governor
and attorney general
have clearly called in
some backroom favors
to make sure I don't get
a chance to argue my case.
Not true, Judge.
As the petition states,
the State Supreme Court
has asked that both sides
submit a written brief
in lieu of a trial.
The entire case is predicated
on the fact that my plaintiffs
have never seen
the inside of a court,
and now it's
happening again.
You can put this all
in your brief to the
justices, Ms. Keating.
A written document
cannot communicate
the gravity of injustice

-Hey.
They've been keeping me
waiting for over an hour.
The justices wouldn't
call you to Harrisburg
if they weren't seriously
considering the case.
Or they just want to laugh in my
face before ruling against me.
Stop. You got this.
What's up?
I read your report
on the Roa case.
I'm with you. There's
not enough to charge him.
But I'd be an idiot
to trust what you wrote.
You know,
I probably would have
just let that case
sit on my desk,
but then you came in here
smiling at me,
which was weird
for so many reasons.
But, really,
it made me realize
that you're still
working for Keating.
And nothing you wrote
explains why a girl with
no history of drug abuse
suddenly died
from the very opioids
that her father
was addicted to.
So I went to Denver,
and I told him
to charge Dr. Roa
with death by delivery.
Maybe even murder two.
Now get out of my office.

You were that way when we met,
probably your whole life.

it's that I can't make anyone
who they don't want to be!
