How to Get Away with Murder

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

A woman's body was found inside the Kappa Kappa Theta house.

Arrest record on Rebecca Sutter

shows a history of drug charges.

What's that?

A Christmas card for Rudy.

Why wouldn't his relatives know he doesn't live here anymore?

Why are you obsessing about Rudy?

You said you didn't know him.

Because I didn't.

You recognize this ring?

I gave it to my husband on our wedding day.

- Any idea why we found it in the woods? - I'm on it.

Nate Lahey, you're under arrest

for the murder of Sam Keating.

Mama? I need you.

Earlier this evening,

former Philadelphia detective Nate Lahey

was arrested at his residence in connection with the death

of Middleton university professor Sam Keating,

a man whose wife Mr. Lahey reportedly had an affair with.

Currently, officers are searching

Mr. Lahey's home and vehicle for additional evidence

that may link him to Sam Keating's murder.

You know the drill.

What's wrong?

It was you, right?

You put Sam's ring in the woods?

- You want to come in? - No.

I won't try anything.

It's not that. I just...

Thank you.

Cough.

That better not be real.

It's apple cider.

What are we celebrating?

My sobriety.

It has been a month.

Can't fake alcohol be like a trigger or something?

Wow. You even know how to kill a natural high.

Scabies infestation a few weeks back.

Close your eyes.

I-I only talked to him a couple times.

Yeah, no, I-I-I understand,

I just don't know what to tell you.

Yeah. I'll be there.

The police?

They saw that I called Nate's phone that night.

Tough guy, I'll make you my bitch.

Anna?

Anna, you there?

Can I help you?

You always leave the door open

for folks to walk in off the street?

Excuse me?

Huh?

With all the murderers and criminals

y'all got around here,

it seems to me you could be a little more careful.

All you need is another dead body

stinking up the place...

I'm sorry, ma'am, but we're not taking on

any new clients at present.

Clients? Don't you know a V.I.P. when you see one?

V.I.P.?

Your boss came out of my "V" and her daddy's "P".

So show a little respect for her mama.

Now, my daughter... Where is she?

So...

Your no-count, sorry-ass husband...

Who I said don't marry...

Couldn't keep his Peter in his pants

and went and slept with a white woman.

Then the fool goes and kills the white woman

when he finds out that she has his bun in her nasty oven.

And after that, your ex-police boyfriend

kills the no-good husband and gets himself arrested.

And you, now, ain't got no husband,

ain't got no boyfriend,

and you holed up in this bed like the queen of Sheba.

Does that about cover it?

Oh, I'm all into this one.

I have to get Lottie's grandson

to pull up the stories on the Google.

I know what you been up to.

Calling me up, talking about "I need you".

Hell yes.

Running around here like you somebody.

Get up!

Smells like somebody's dying in here.

Come on.

Get your butt up out this bed and get in the shower.

Get up!

It's all right, baby.

Come on.

Mama's here now,

and everything's gonna be all right, hmm?

Nate's phone shows he talked to Rebecca the day Sam died.

The police want her to come in as soon as possible.

It's fine. Annalise can prep her.

Frank says she hasn't left her room since Nate was arrested.

Aww.

You know, we should all go give her a hug

and thank her for saving our butts.

How can you celebrate the fact

that an innocent man might go to jail for us?

I'll go talk to her.

No, you won't.

She's sick, and we have a new case to prep.

How? You just said Annalise is sick.

I'm handling the case.

That must be our client.

Oh, yeah, dawgs...

Time to see the bonbon get her legal eagle on!

Justice!

I would turn my bedroom into an I.C.U.,

make my little brothers pretend to be trauma victims.

The idea of helping people

just always made me feel better about myself,

which is why this is so hard.

I mean, doctors can kill a patient and keep their jobs,

but for a nurse, we don't get off so easy.

And I get it...

Why people would think I did this.

I'm not the prettiest girl in the room,

but this will ruin me.

I'll be forced onto some sexual-predator registry.

But I didn't do what that man says, I promise you.

I didn't rape him.

Imagine you go into the hospital for a routine surgery

and you wake up to find your nurse on top of you,

sexually assaulting you.

Your genitals, exposed.

Imagine the degradation, the humiliation.

That's what Chad Manning felt

when Jolene Samuels raped him at his most vulnerable.

Chad Manning is not telling you the truth, but I will.

Jolene Samuels is not a rapist.

She didn't even have sex with Mr. Manning.

This case, rather, is clearly about

Mr. Manning trying to pressure

my client's employer into a financial payout.

Because Jolene...

Is a woman and Chad is a man.

But I'm gonna ask you to forget everything you know about rape.

Is a heinous act

suffered by hundreds of thousands of victims yearly,

some of whom Jolene has cared for.

This is a crime not about sex.

It's about power.

And anyone can be a victim...

Of slanderous allegations that are unfounded

and could very well endanger her livelihood.

For that reason, you should find Jolene Samuels guilty.

Not guilty.

That was a slip. Excuse me.

My point being, Jolene Samuels is innocent.

We will prove that to you.

So, she's no Annalise.

So Ms. Keating is not the lead lawyer on this case anymore?

She's under the weather.

Ms. Winterbottom, I work for the hospital.

If you lose this case,

you open us up to an extremely large civil suit.

That opening statement was an abomination.

It won't happen again. I guarantee that.

A good lawyer knows that there's no such thing

as a guarantee in a courtroom.

So just do better.

Dr. Grimes, you examined Mr. Manning

the day he reported the sexual abuse?

Alleged abuse.

Alleged sexual abuse.

That's correct.

And you noted bruising to Mr. Manning?

He had a large bruise on his left testicle,

resulting from the sexual attack.

Your witness.

Could you please read this highlighted section

from Mr. Manning's patient chart?

What medication does it say he was given before surgery?

Heparin... It's a blood thinner.

And can you confirm that blood thinners

are known to cause bruising post-surgery?

- Yes, but... - Bruising which could have easily

spread towards his testicles.

- I wouldn't say "easily". - But it could happen?

Yes.

Nothing further.

The prosecution has an eyewitness

that claims he saw Jolene raping Chad.

Mm. Someone got a free peep show.

We need some way to discredit this witness.

Frank?

How are we going to get Nate out of jail?

- Laurel put you up to this? - No.

I'm asking because we put an innocent man in jail

and I'm assuming Annalise wouldn't do that

without a plan in place to get him off, right?

At least Laurel's charming
