Previously on "How To Get Away With m*rder"...
And then Uncle Clyde came out of your room, and I knew what he had done.
Sometimes you got to do what you got to do... even if all you've got is a long match.
I did everything I could to help your father.
And you failed.
My pops was m*rder*d because of you.
- Stay the hell back.
- Time you finally paid for that.
I need you here right now.
- What's wrong?
- Asher's here.
[WHISPERING] He turned.
LANFORD: Admit that you did all of it because you were under the influence of Annalise Keating, and you'll get five years.
- TEGAN: Where's Annalise?
- BONNIE: She's gone.
That's why I'm here to see if you helped her disappear like you did Laurel.
I'm only signing if you agree to one more term.
The terms are only valid if they apply to Connor and myself.
Agent Lanford. You find Annalise Keating yet?
MAN: Annalise Keating?

OPHELIA: What's the matter?
It's just a dream. [EXHALES SHARPLY]
You were yelling about some baby.
Just go back to sleep, Mama.
[DOORS CLOSE]
Are you awake?
TEGAN: It's : a.m.
What the hell you think?
You wouldn't be able to sleep with an old woman in your bed either.
How's she doing?
Great, considering I almost threw her over the balcony a few times.
That's one way to finally get charged with m*rder.
JUDGE VITKAY: This is the arraignment in Case CR ,
- the United States vs. Annalise Keating.
- _
AUSA, what are the charges?
Ms. Keating entered Mexico with a passport under a false name.
The government charges her with one count of possession of a false identification document and the related charge of passport forgery.
That's it?
Yes, Your Honor.
Ms. Keating, do wish to enter a plea at this time?
Not guilty, Your Honor, and I'd like to request release on my own recognizance.
By definition, this crime makes Ms. Keating a flight risk.
We thereby forego bail and ask that the court place her on house arrest, pending trial.
I have an elderly mother who has dementia, who requires my assistance outside the home, Your Honor.
You and I both know how much worse these charges could've been, Ms. Keating.
What if I countersue for suppression of evidence, argue that the government's been hiding my real charges behind the passport fraud?
Or you can take a moment to think before poking the bear.
I do better when I'm on the att*ck.
What about motioning for a Bill of Particulars?
The particulars being a list of charges that can get you put away for life?
Well, at least I'd be able to prepare a defense instead of watching my mother watch stories all day.
You want my opinion as your lawyer or your friend?
I don't want to get you any more involved in this Hell.
"He who represents himself has a fool as a client".
Aw, Abraham Lincoln never met a lawyer as good as me when he said that.
True.
But I'm here if you need me.
Like I'd be calling your ass at : a.m. if I didn't already know that.
Okay, I'm gonna be your friend, and I'mma let you sleep.
I'm awake now.
Aw, good night.

Well, you know, just to let us know what we're supposed to do here.
Thought you were just supposed to sit tight and wait for the trial.
You mean the trial that they still haven't set a date for, thereby giving Annalise more time to figure out we took a deal?
Annalise isn't gonna figure it out.
- Okay, she might figure it out.
- Thanks for the comfort.
Look, I'm just saying the FBI isn't gonna let anything bad happen to us after what happened to Asher.
I'll shut up now.

Guilty as hell, right?
Alright. Here's my plan.

What are you doing?

The reckoning.
I just got off the phone with my lawyer.
Annalise filed a motion to get a list of her future charges.
- So?
- If Annalise wins, she'll know she's getting charged for Sam.
The only testimony to support that would have to come from the people who were there.
Disclosing details of an open investigation isn't necessary until an indictment.
Half of Philly thinks I m*rder*d my husband because of what the FBI let slip to the press.
That itself is an indictment.
Ms. Keating, DOJ guidelines give the AUSA leeway over if and when to add charges to your case, so even if I agreed with your claim, legally...
The law dictates you agree with her, Judge.
I'm sorry, are you part of Ms. Keating's legal team?
Yes. Ms. Price is my co-counsel.
Well, I don't have that name anywhere in my paperwork.
It's getting filed today.
Until then, the United States v. Rosa allows you to force the AUSA to reveal future charges when a defendant might face prejudicial surprise at trial.
AUSA MONTES: What surprise?
Ms. Keating seems very sure additional charges are coming.
Only because of the public lynching the FBI has given me in the press.
Your Honor... the government is deliberately hiding its real case to deprive me of my Fifth Amendment right to due process.
Now, if Ms. Montes needs a review of that law,
I'm sure one of my students can tutor her.

JUDGE VITKAY: This is the arraignment in Case CR ,
- the United States vs. Annalise Keating.
- _
AUSA, what are the charges?
Ms. Keating entered Mexico with a passport under a false name.
The government charges her with one count of possession of a false identification document and the related charge of passport forgery.
That's it?
Yes, Your Honor.
Ms. Keating, do wish to enter a plea at this time?
Not guilty, Your Honor, and I'd like to request release on my own recognizance.
By definition, this crime makes Ms. Keating a flight risk.
We thereby forego bail and ask that the court place her on house arrest, pending trial.
I have an elderly mother who has dementia, who requires my assistance outside the home, Your Honor.
You and I both know how much worse these charges could've been, Ms. Keating.
What if I countersue for suppression of evidence, argue that the government's been hiding my real charges behind the passport fraud?
Or you can take a moment to think before poking the bear.
I do better when I'm on the att*ck.

I get Annalise Keating's your white whale, but you and I both know
I'll knock out half these charges pretrial, so let's cut some now and not waste time.
I assure you we have evidence for every charge against Ms. Keating.
Computer trespass and hacking?
Have you seen this woman type?
She directed others to do it.
Ethnic intimidation?
I think you have that one backwards.
And this here, "aggravated arson".
Annalise's house burnt down because of a gas expl*si*n.
That's an official ruling.
It's true, except you have the wrong house.
Looks like someone needs to brush up on her client's whole history.
They're alleging a pattern of arson based on the fire that burnt down your childhood home.
That's insane.
Unless you did it.
Was little Anna Mae a fire starter?
♪♪
Hey.
If there's anything you need to tell me, now is the time.
It wasn't me.
But you know who it was?
What matters is who gave the FBI the article.
♪♪
Who is it?
Nate.
I could've given them these.
Denver files?
You told me you destroyed these already.

Nate must've already handed over copies of the files to the FBI.
Why would he do that?
To cut his own deal.

Nathaniel ain't worth one tear, you hear me?
I know.
I'm sorry I told you to protect him.
I thought he was better than that.
What man is ever better than that?
It ain't just men you're mad at, baby.
Let's not go through this again.
Because the person you're most mad at,
I'm afraid, is me.
Clyde happened because I left you all alone in that house so much.
Clyde did that to me, Mama, not you.
But where was I?
You were working two jobs because Daddy left us.
You're not hearing me, Anna Mae.
That baby in your dream you keep trying to get to, huh?
It's you.
You never felt protected as a little girl, and now, all these years later, you still think you only have you to lean on.
No wonder you're exhausted.
I'm just doing what I wish someone would do for me.
No.
You're trying to be the parent you felt you did not have.
No, Mama. Listen.
This is not your fault.
It doesn't matter whose fault it is, but Nathaniel, those students, they're not your children, and you are not their mother.
The only one you need to protect from now on is you, Anna Mae.

I'm not sorry for what I did.
I chose my family, and maybe that makes me a schmuck or soft, but I love them.
And I love you guys, too.
I mean that, which is why I need you to hear me loud and clear here.
You've all lost who you are.
I can say that because it happened to me, too.
We all got caught up in something much bigger than us.
But you all still have good in you.
And, Connor...

You two taught me what real love looks like.

Oh, Michaela.
I love you so much.
I always will.
