They know everything.

I can offer you and your son protection, but I need information in return.

NATE: We need the video.

Warden Sykes is the only one who can sign off.

Give me all the security-cam footage from your visitor's room on this date.

- What is this?
- I'll tell you who k*lled your father.

You just need to return the favor.

- Laurel. Is that...
- My mother.

ANNALISE: You called Paula Gladden, the guard who lied about Nate Senior reaching for her g*n!

This is all fake.

There's a photo of you meeting with him.

Or are you gonna lie about that, too?

- [CELLPHONE RINGS]

Emmett's not the lawyer in the photo.

- Who is it?

Ms. Keating did great work on the class action... no one's denying that.

No, she said that the judge is gonna set that any day now.

I put your father in jail so that we wouldn't have to deal with your family anymore, Laurel!

Everyone's dead! Nate's father, Wes...they're all dead because of you!

I'll do whatever I can to fix this. Okay, Annalise?

I didn't think that this was gonna happen...

Because you don't think! Ever!

My point is it's not Laurel's fault.

You're right. It's your fault.

Because I never wanted to hire her as an intern, anyway.

That was your penis that decided that.

Can you just tell us the truth, Xavier?

You know, all I ever wanted was for you to be happy... now look at what this woman has done to you.

I told you that he would just lie.

- Can we go?
- You go, I still have something to say.

I don't care what you have to say.

What did you offer Miller? Hmm?

Tell me.

Did you promise to make him DA?

Pay for his campaign?

Do you want to be the DA?

But you couldn't win him over, could you?

Because it's too easy to play you.

So that's what he did.

So? I hope this is good news.

Yeah.

I'll do it.

What do you need from me?

Talk to the Warden.

Get the old man a transfer on Thursday morning.

My guards will be working then.

Thursday morning... got it.

You took his word for it.

You believed he would help you, and, instead, the boy played you, because you couldn't bribe a pathetic interim DA to get what you needed...

You don't understand... I need this transfer to happen

by tomorrow night at the latest.

We don't do transfers at night.

Then make an exception.

I bet that happens a lot in your life.

People take advantage of your bad instincts...

That's why your father fought so hard to get Laurel back.

As many of you know, news reports have stated that the FBI has been investigating my office regarding the deaths of Nathaniel Lahey Senior and DA Ronald Miller.
