I can fix this for you.

You had Nate's dad k*lled.

No.

- Why aren't you with your boo?

Just saw him outside with Nate.

Why'd you call the Warden that day?

- Own it!

- He m*rder*d my pops.
- [CRYING]

Take his car and him and drive away.

Why do you look like someone just d*ed?

Gabriel is Sam's kid.

You're making him out to be some monster.

He hurt all of us.

I want to know how he d*ed.

All Gabriel has to do is find new evidence.

He's here to take us down.

- WOMAN: Please record your message.

Go upstairs to your wife and love her.

PREACHER: Every single day is the chance for a new beginning,

every morning an opportunity to be changed,

different... magnificent.

We all have the choice to stay mired in our own pain and mess,

or we can try mending the broken pieces inside ourselves.

[PANTING]

You here to make my face look like yours?

Maybe.

Look, this wasn't about you, okay?

This was about two consenting adults needing a connection...

Never talk to me about my mom again.

Is he in there?

I don't know. I haven't heard him all day.

Maybe he's already turned us in to the police.

It's not easy believing in ourselves.

I hear talking.

We all feel like there's some thing inside us that's missing,

and if only we could find it, we'd finally feel whole.

We just can't do that until we learn to look inside ourselves.

Where's Connor? I need his help.

He went for a run to take his mind off the Gabriel stuff.

That's why I need him... we're gonna burn Gabriel from our brains

by writing up a wrongful death suit for Nate Senior.

Didn't Nate Junior ask you to stop interfering in his life?

He'll forgive me once he sees

that this is our last chance at justice.

Or you're just setting him up for more disappointment.

Hey.

You're supposed to be the hopeful one in this house.

Don't go dark on me.

We stayed together when we shouldn't have.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why?

I thought I did what was best for you.

I was wrong.

Gabriel's worked with activist groups on FBI watch lists.

If he tries to get Sam's case reopened, we thr*aten him

- No.

He's a kid who thinks he's more powerful than he is.

This isn't just about him.

- They're ex-girlfriends.
- What?

It was, apparently, just a law-school thing for Annalise.

Meaning, you know, don't worry, you still got a chance.

[CHUCKLES]

- Projecting much?
- What?

I think you meant to say that you still have a chance.

[CHUCKLING] What? No! Sir, come...

Oh. Oh, you think you're funny.

Good night, Ms. Price.

I'm just a plane ride away.

So, uh, call me if Gabriel acts up

or you need my help with the Governor.

I can handle it.

I just need an excuse to visit.

I can come to you after the baby.

If there's a baby.

Oh, there's gonna be.

My point is... come sooner.

Not to introduce you to our hot friends.

I don't want "hot." I want nice.

They can be both.

AGENT TELESCO: Mr. Maddox.

This is Agent Telesco with the FBI.

We have a few questions about a voicemail

you left for D.A. Ronald Miller.

I screwed up.

They found out who I am.

Can you call me back?

Please call us back as soon as possible

so we can set up a time to meet.

WOMAN: Breaking news in Philadelphia tonight.

We have just received word that Interim District Attorney

Ronald Miller has officially been named...

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- ...a missing person by the FBI.

Authorities were notified this morning when Mr. Miller,

- a long-time Philadelphia resident...
- You don't know who gave you this.

...who has worked at the D.A.s office for over a decade,

failed to appear at work and then could not be reached

- by telephone or at his home.
- ♪ Pressure's on, pressure's high ♪

There has been no recent activity on his cellphone...

...or car GPS that could help investigators

determine his current location.

It has been close to hours since anyone has seen or heard

- from the interim District Attorney...
- Dinner's ready.

...who took office several months ago.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- No one's hungry?

'Cause I can inhale this pad Thai all by myself.

Our sources tell us there were no signs of a struggle or

- break-in at his home.
- Did you know about this?

The suspicious nature of D.A. Miller's disappearance

prompted the FBI to open an immediate investigation

- in hopes of finding the D.A. alive.
- ♪ Truth has holes, truth, it swells ♪

You were at work all day.
You had to have known.

- Authorities say the D.A. made...
- No, I swear.

...his last known phone call in the early hours of Sunday morning...

- This is bad.
- It's not bad. It's a nightmare.

- The call contained no indication...
- You really didn't know?

No idea.

...of danger or duress.

Law enforcement is asking that anyone...

- NATE: Hey. It's all over the news.
- ...who has seen his vehicle to come...

- You got to tell her.
- I'm here now.

WOMAN: Board of Probation and Parole.

This is Warden Sykes returning Mrs. Jeffries' call

about the new Parole Board regulation.

- [MOUSE CLICKS]
- Warden Sykes here.

JANELLE: Hi, Warden.

It's Janelle from the Department of Corrections.

D.A. Miller's disappearance is of particular concern

considering the fact that his predecessor,

District Attorney Todd Denver,

was m*rder*d less than a year ago.

Currently serving time for his m*rder

is former Antares Technologies CEO Jorge Castillo.

- The FBI declined to comment...
- Did your father do this?

...on if they believe there may be a connection...

I don't know.

...between D.A. Miller's disappearance and Castillo.

- Probably.
- It wasn't your dad.

How would you know?

You wanna tell them?

...it was widely known...

- What?
- Bonnie needed to see you ASAP,

you were acting weird at the office...

That doesn't mean anything.

She had blood on her leg at the wedding.

Why? Did she do something to him?

No. You're insane. It's...

Bonnie had Christopher at the wedding.

I couldn't find them.

Tell us the truth. Was this Bonnie?

No.

Because it was the Governor who k*lled Miller.

She got Miller to help her take out my pops,

then she took him out to keep him from squealing.

It's a good plan.

Hi, Warden. This is Marissa.

This is Sykes.

Jeff, hey. Ron Miller here.

Oh. I didn't recognize the number.

Yeah, my phone d*ed.

Uh, listen, I'm calling to thank you

for handling the Nate Lahey Senior transfer.

It's not a problem.

Well, still, I just wanted to say thanks.

His son works for me, he's a good guy,

so I'd like to make the transfer as easy as possible on his old man.

Yeah, we'll take good care of him. No problem.

Yeah, thanks so much, Jeff.
