Trial & Error

Carol Anne Keane believes Larry's missing walking stick

was the murder weapon.

She's like a dog with a bone trying to find it.

Ironically, Larry's dog found it, thinking it was a bone.

The murder stick!

We have decided to temporarily withhold that information

from the prosecution.

Who knows? Maybe she'll forget about it.

I would thank Mr. Jeremiah Davis of Davis Tobacco & Candy

for his generous donation to my campaign

for East Peck District Attorney.

Mr. Davis is a pillar of this community,

whose sister, as you all know,

was brutally murdered by town murderer Larry Henderson.

Mr. Davis?

We couldn't be happier with the job Ms. Keane has done.

She has far exceeded my expectations of her gender.

In fact, my wife has never been happier.

Uh, I'd like to reiterate

that I am offering a $50,000 reward

for whomever finds the murder weapon...

Larry Henderson's walking/murdering stick.

Technically, if it's the murder weapon,

we'll have to turn it in to the prosecution.

But the stick is gonna come back clean. Right, Larry?

I told you... the dog must have buried it.

You wouldn't find any signs of Margaret, anyway.

She hated my trekking poles.

She said the very sight of them

made her want to bash her own head in.

Wait.

You don't think... No. I do not.

that she hit herself in the head?

No, I hear you. With the trekking pole.

I know what you're saying. And that's what killed her.

No, I don't think that's what happened.

Okay, we're broke.

We can't even make rent, and these DNA tests aren't cheap.

Maybe I can ask my best friend for a favor.

Ohh. Well, I'd love to help you out, buddy,

but I'm tapped out myself.

No, I was talking about my friend Mikey Harawitz.

He's kind of my right-hand man back in New York.

Oh, yeah.

I know.

Duh.

I ain't gonna lie... that one stung.

Look, I'm onto something here,

but I need to use one of the firm's DNA labs.

Dude, that's a tough ask, dude.

Mankiewicz doesn't want to pour any more money into the case.

I know.

You know, screw it. Send the stick over.

Harawitz! You're the best!

Hey, are you in my office?

Yeah. Mankiewicz moved me in here

since I'm taking over all your cases.

Oh.

That's news.

Yeah, I don't know if it's the new office or my bonus,

but ever since you left, this place has become,

like, Pound Town.

Wow. What am I talking about?

I'm talking to Josh Segal... the Seegs!

You must be slaughtering it down there.

Yep, it's a slaughterhouse.

All right. I overnighted the stick to New York.

In the meantime, let's take a look at what we have so far.

Anne, will you bring in the murder board?

Murder board! Murder board!

Murder board! Murder... Dwayne!

Can we just, like, make it a little bit more professional?

You know, we don't want you shouting

"murder board" every... Murder board!

Murder board! Murder board!

Whoo! It's really filling out!

Oh, yeah! All the evidence literally points to Larry.

Anne, will you put a picture of Rutger up under "Possible Suspects"?

I got it. Hey.

Oh, whoa. Murder board's out.

Wait... why am I a suspect?

You're not. Anne can't recognize faces.

You probably shouldn't be in charge of that.

You know what I think?

I think maybe a one-armed man did it.

You're only saying that because you just saw "The Fugitive."

Have you seen it, Josh?

It's this new movie playing downtown.

Movies take a while to get to East Peck.

You'd think that if your wife was sleeping with a cop,

you'd be able to get out of a parking ticket.

Whoa! The murder board is really filling up.

Yeah, I was excited, too, but look out.

Josh is in one of his moods again.

I'm just saying that the evidence

doesn't look great right now.

Oh, I'm not worried.

Once I take the stand, I'll be able to clear my name.

No!

I was thinking about that, and I just thought...

sometimes you have a tendency to say things

that don't sound great out of context.

Are you still upset about that newspaper interview?

I can't help it if my favorite TV show is

"How to Get Away With Murder."

I love that show!

Larry, Carol Anne Keane will be brutal.

Hey, I can help prep him.

No, I minored in theater.

I can even do my Carol Anne Keane impression.

Would that be pleasing to you...

Counselor?

Whoa! What are you doing?

Oh, every time you guys are together,

she gets all close and flirty.

That is not what happens.

W-Why? Did you see something?

Josh, what am I gonna do about this parking ticket?

Did you know this was issued the day Margaret died?

Yeah, she had the car that day.

Whoa. Looks like we got a ghost ticket on our hands.

Or she... got it before she died.

You got your theory. I got mine.

The ticket was written at 3:32 P.M.

in front of the City Hall of Records.

What would Margaret be doing there?

Let's put it on the timeline.

Murder board. Murder board.

Are we gonna do that every single time

we actually have... Murder board!

Murder board! Murder board!

Everybody... Anne, the timeline is supposed to be

of Margaret's last day, not her entire life.

And I'm not quite sure how that is relevant.

I gotta say, I'm disappointed

by this whole Hall of Records thing.

I mean, I was picturing more like a...

a Guinness Book-of type situation.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a little tired.

Did you know that there's an explosion

outside of my apartment every morning at 5:00 A.M.?

Yeah... that's 'cause you live

in the East Peck Historical District.

East Peck has a rich history, being the site

of the Civil War's largest mass surrender.

Right here, the East Peck Militia

accidentally fired a cannonball on their own man,

causing them to immediately lay down their arms.

Now, that act of cowardice saved a lot of lives on both sides.

So to commemorate that momentous occasion,

we fire that very same cannon

at 5:00 P.M. and 5:00 A.M. every day,

since the historians did not specify

whether it was day or night.

Right here, we got

my great-great-great-grandfather uncle,

Lieutenant Colonel Reid Reed,

though, ironically, he... he could not read.

Sorry it took so long to find the file you wanted.

Here's the log of all easements granted from 1975 to 1976.

No, we were looking for

what Margaret Henderson came in for

on March 1st of this year.

I'll be... just a minute.

Oh, me.

Okay, let's see how you do on the stand.

Mr. Henderson, how are you? Fantastic!

Okay, let's try not to be so excited that you're on trial.

Mr. Henderson, would you describe your wife

as a happy woman?

Objection! Speculation.

Overruled. I want to see where she's going with this.

No, just answer the question. Just be yourself.

Can I do a voice? Dad!

Come on, okay? This is serious.

You're right. Sorry.

Oh, my God!

Unh-unh. Still me.

Mr. Henderson, did the cable guy ever show up

on the evening that you murdered your wife?

No, he didn't, and it's been a nightmare

trying to get someone over to the house ever since.

Dad, you just admitted to killing her.

That's a "gotcha" question! It...

Oh, you're good.

If you were the prosecutor, I'd definitely get the chair.

Let's do more.

Why was Margaret looking at the records

of Davis Tobacco & Candy?

Larry said when Margaret's dad died,

he left the company to Jeremiah, but according to this,

it was supposed to go to Jeremiah and Margaret.

So Margaret owned half the company?

That's probably what she found out the day she died.

You know what I'm thinking?

Don't say "ghost ticket."

I wasn't gonna. Don't say "one-armed man."

Okay, you go.

Under "Suspects"...

put a picture of Jeremiah Jefferson Davis.
