06x16 - The Diana Affair

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Bull...

Hey, there, Dr. Bull.

BULL: Why, Diana Lindsay.

DIANA: You miss me?

- I didn't know you did criminal law.
- You should know by now

I am full of surprises.

MARISSA: Diana's gonna
be here Saturday morning

and she sounds
pretty damned excited to me.

- Excellent.
- Are you all right? You sound strange.

I saw Izzy at the funeral.

I'm sorry about your dad.

I didn't know what to do.

MARISSA: What did you want to do?

BULL: I wanted to save her.

IZZY: I'm pregnant,

you big Bull.

- Hey, Greta.
- Hey.

Is there any chance you can walk
Sunshine for me this afternoon?

Oh, sh**t, this afternoon is tough.

I have some people coming for book club.

No problem. I'll figure it out.

I-Is everything okay?

There's just something I need to do,

and the kids have after-school stuff,

and Frederick...

well... Frederick has plans
to go sleep with some whore.

Oh, my God, Greta, I'm so sorry.

I just found out.

But I think he's been
seeing her for a while.

[EXHALES] That's awful.

I'm going to go confront her.

That's why I need someone
to walk Sunshine.

Are you really sure you want to do that?

Maybe-maybe take a b*at.

I need that woman
to look me in the face.

See that I am a real person.

That she is hurting me,
hurting my family.

Okay. I'll walk Sunshine. Don't worry.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

[SIREN WAILING]

[RAGGED EXHALE]

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

OFFICER:
The victim's name is Greta Page.

years old.
Looks like she was stabbed,

but we haven't located the w*apon.

This her home?

Vacation home, yeah.

Who's that?

OFFICER: Vic's husband. Frederick Page.

Said he found her like this.

Mr. Page.

Detective Fletcher.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I was told this is your vacation home.

Did anyone know you and
your wife would be here today?

Greta wasn't supposed to be here.

What do you mean?

I might as well just tell you.

I've been having an affair.

I was supposed to meet her, here.

But instead...

...I found my wife.

Like that.

I'm gonna need the name of this woman.

Come on. Where are you?

Aren't you supposed

- to be on vacation?
- [PHONE RINGING]

Yeah. We don't fly out till tonight.

What the heck? My passport
was right here last night.

It was here and it's gone now!

You gonna get that?

No, I'm officially off the clock.

Where are you, you government document?

It's got to be here somewhere.

Aha.

- Uh, nice filing system.
- Oh! Nice.

Eagle eye.

- Izzy would've k*lled me.
- For Pete's sake.

Trial Analysis Corporation.

- [MOUTHING]
- Marissa Morgan speaking.

Oh, Diana, hi.

Oh, it's Diana Lindsay.

She's at Rikers.

[WHISPERS]: I cannot take
another case right now.

Tell her I'll be back in two weeks.

Well, unfortunately, Bull is...

Oh, my God.

What? What is it?

Diana's been arrested. For m*rder.

[LOCK BUZZES]

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

When I moved to New York, I...

I always thought I'd run
into you in the courtroom.

I... never thought it'd be here.

You always did know
the classiest joints.

You okay?

[QUIETLY]: Yeah.

- Hey.
- [BANG ON DOOR]

GUARD: No touching.

[EXHALES]

Thank you for coming.

Of course.

So, what happened?

Okay, um...

I've been seeing this guy
Frederick about a year now.

And, uh...
Well, we work at the same firm.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

Well, he's married.

But he swore

that his marriage was over.

That his wife is crazy
and she had a drinking problem

and they were only staying
together for the kids.

[SCOFFS] Clearly,
I have terrible taste in men.

Well, I could have
told you that years ago.

Anyway...

They found his wife dead

and I was arrested.

What do you think
the police have on you?

[SIGHS]

I was with her, right before she d*ed.

I was meeting Frederick
at his weekend place,

and I got there before him, but
you know, I have a key, so...

She was there, waiting on me.

So she knew you were coming?

I mean, I guess
she found out about us and...

well, apparently, it was news to
her that her marriage was over

because that woman
just flipped out on me.

Flipped out? You mean she att*cked you?

No.

Well, uh, she did grab
my arm at one point

to keep me from leaving, but...

yeah, mostly,
she was just yelling at me.

I tried to talk to her, but...

she wouldn't listen, so...

[SCOFFS]

finally, I just,
I got myself out of there.

And where did you go next?

I went home. I got drunk.

Felt like a fool for believing
any of Frederick's lies.

I woke up with the police
pounding at my door.

So, you said you were

supposed to meet Frederick

- at the house?
- Yeah.

You think he's capable of doing this?

k*lling someone?

No. No, absolutely not.

He's capable of deception.

- He's a liar.
- I just don't see it.

Frederick, he might be a liar,
but he is not a violent person.

Are you in love with him?

Somehow that question
seems a little unfair.

It goes to motive. You know that.

No. I'm not in love with him.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

I've only been in love once in my life,

and when he ghosted me

and I found out that he got
back together with his ex-wife

and had a baby, I didn't m*rder anyone.

I'm sorry.

[EXHALES] I...

could've handled all that better.

Jason, just get me out of here.

IZZY: [GASPS] Thank God, you're home.

I was starting to worry
we were gonna miss our flight.

Okay, um, you grab the bags

and I will grab Astrid
and I'll meet you downstairs.

- Izzy, I'm sorry, there's a problem.
- [GASPS]

You lost your passport, didn't you?

It's work.

Jason, no, you promised.

- I know.
- You said we were gonna go on this trip

- no matter what came up.
- That's true,

- but I just never imagined...
- You said that we deserved

a big, fat vacation after
the year that we've had.

You said we'd be
basking in the sun and...

Diana Lindsay was arrested for m*rder.

- What?
- Diana Lindsay

is this lawyer I used to date.

No, I know who Diana is.

She was arrested for m*rder?

Yes.

Who are they saying she m*rder*d?

Her boyfriend's wife.

Let me get this straight.

You want to cancel our vacation

so that you can defend
your ex-girlfriend

for murdering her lover's wife?

- I know it's not ideal...
- Why do you have to defend her?

Diana's a lawyer,
surely she knows other firms.

Because I know what it feels
like to be wrongly accused.

Remember how hard it was for me
to find someone I trusted?

Of course I remember.
I haven't forgotten

a single second of that damn trial,

which is why I need a vacation.

That's why we need a vacation.

I know.

Okay.

I won't take this case
if you don't want me to.

Mm-mm, no.

Don't do that to me.
Don't put this on me.

I'm not gonna ask you
not to represent her.

You know, you do whatever
you feel that you need to do.

Just doesn't mean
I have to be happy about it.

[SIGHS]

- Have a good day.
- You, too.

Everything okay?

We're supposed to be on
a beach in Saint Bart's,

- instead we're here, so no.
- Right.

Well, let's make it worth it.

I'll gather the troops.

TAYLOR: The M.E. puts
Greta Page's time of death

between : and : p.m.

Ring camera footage shows Greta
arriving at the house at : .

Diana arrived at : and left
about minutes later at : .

Then Frederick Page showed up at : .

He called just five minutes later.

Well, five minutes is tight,
but it's enough time

to k*ll his wife and make a phone call.

Yeah, that's possible, but what if

it was a-a burglary gone wrong?

Half an hour passes

between the time
that Diana left the house

and Frederick arrived there.

Maybe somebody walked in the back door.

DANNY: I don't think so.

The house backs up to the ocean.

There's no security camera in the back,

but the neighbors on
both sides have cameras.

No one crossed their
beaches at that time.

So it looks like there
were only two people

who could've k*lled Greta.

Diana or Frederick.

Well, then, it was Frederick.

So, what about the M.E.'s report?

Is there anything about this k*ller

being taller than Diana, or left-handed,

because Diana said
Frederick's left-handed.

TAYLOR: No.

But there was some DNA evidence

in the police report.

Greta's blood was found
on Diana's jacket.

BULL: Well, Diana said
that Greta grabbed

her arm at one point.

- Maybe she had a cut on her hand.
- CHUNK: That's possible,

but convincing a jury of that,
not so sure.

Did they get anything
off the m*rder w*apon?

Uh, no. The police
haven't found one yet,

but a Kn*fe consistent
with Greta's s*ab wounds

is missing from a set in the kitchen.

The Kn*fe block has
Diana's fingerprints all over it.

- But none of Frederick's.
- BULL: Well, okay.

Maybe Diana's the one
who does all the cooking

when they're at the house.

Or maybe Frederick grabbed the Kn*fe

off the counter.

All I'm hearing is
evidence against Diana.

I'd like to hear some evidence
against Frederick.

We are working on it, Bull.

We have to identify
the weaknesses in our own case.

You're right.

But just so we're clear, I know Diana.

She did not m*rder anyone.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

A new A.D.A. was just
assigned to the case.

Who is it?

How did this happen?

I had a craving for orange chicken.

I'm not proud of it,
but it's not that complicated.

You knew that I'm representing
Diana Lindsay. What...

Look, the A.D.A. handling the case

had emergency gallbladder surgery today.

The D.A. himself asked me to step in.

Look, this case is very personal to TAC.

We've all worked with Diana
and she's very important to Bull.

This is a big m*rder case.

It is a major career opportunity for me.

- [SIGHS]
- Look, I-I wouldn't have

even considered taking on the case

if I didn't think our
relationship could handle it.

It's just work.

We'll leave it in the courtroom,
I promise.

[EXHALES] Okay, fine.

But we're gonna have to be very careful

about maintaining boundaries.

Fine. That's fine.

Oh. Wait, does this mean
I can't call you my boo

in front of the jury?

Is that a... It's a no? Yeah.

Hey, uh, do you have a minute?

Our first witness is
about to take the stand.

Uh, but I've got a minute.

[SIGHS]

Um...

I don't want to put you
in an awkward position.

But, um, I know

that Jason and Diana have a past.

And normally, I'm all for just, like,

letting the past stay
in the past, but this one...

[SIGHS] this one just isn't.

I'm sure this can't be easy for you.

Well, I mean, you saw them
when they were together.

Was he in love with her?

Honestly, I don't know.

But I do know

he loves you.

You two...

fit like a glove.

Mm, nothing sexier than a glove.

- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- TAYLOR: Sorry to interrupt.

Uh, Rob just called Frederick
Page to the stand. You coming?

[CHUCKLES]: Go. I'm fine.

If I have learned anything this year,

it's that, sometimes,
it's okay not to be fine.

Hmm.

Frederick Page, do you swear to
tell the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?

I do.

BULL: Whatever Frederick says today,

you can't react.

It's not my first rodeo, Jason.

Well, it's your first
rodeo as the accused,

and it's a lot harder than you think.

ROB: I want to take you back to the day

that you found your wife Greta
dead at your beach house.

Now, you hadn't planned
on meeting Greta there

that afternoon, had you?

No. Uh...

I had plans to meet someone else.

And who was that?

- Diana Lindsay.
- The defendant?

- FREDERICK: Yes.
- Had you spoken to the defendant

on your way to the house?

Yes, I-I was running late,

so I-I called to let her know.

But when she answered the phone,
she was angry.

She said that Greta
was at the beach house

and that she had ambushed her.

ROB: Did she say anything else?

Yes.

She said, "Things got ugly,

and now it's your mess to clean up."

CHUNK: Objection, Your Honor.

This is blatant hearsay.

It falls under several hearsay
exceptions, Your Honor.

Statement against penal interest,

excited utterance.

I could go on.

LEAVY: No need.

Overruled.

ROB: After the defendant said

this was your mess
to clean up, you arrived

at your beach house to find

your wife Greta
brutally stabbed to death.

Is that correct?

Yes.

No further questions.

Mr. Page,

you were having an affair with
Diana Lindsay, is that correct?

- Yes.
- And did you tell

your wife that you were
sleeping with Ms. Lindsay?

No.

CHUNK: So you lied to her?

Yes.

So you're a liar?

- Yes.
- So we only have the word of a liar

that your wife was already dead

when you got there?

FREDERICK: But she was. She was...

Or maybe, when you got there,

she was furious.

Did she thr*aten to leave you, Mr. Page?

Take your kids? Take your money?

No. That's not what happened.

Did she thr*aten to tell
the law firm that you were

having an affair with a colleague?

And you had to stop her,

and so you stabbed her to death?

Isn't that what happened, Mr. Page?

Objection. Inflammatory.

Badgering the witness.

I'm sure you could go on.

I withdraw the question, Your Honor.

And I'm done with this witness.

REPORTER: There she is!

Diana, Diana, can we get a quote?

- Over here, over here.
- No comment, please.

Did you k*ll your lover's wife?

- Diana, what did you do with...
- No comment.

Did Greta Page thr*aten to
expose your affair at your law firm?

BULL: No comment.

Have you considered a guilty plea?

Diana, are you still sleeping
with Dr. Jason Bull?

Can you comment?

[SIGHS]

Hey.

[EXHALES]

I am so sorry.

Do you have any idea
how embarrassing this is?

I should've been ahead of this.

Yeah, you should've,

but when it comes to Diana,

your judgment is clearly off.

Off?

Yeah, off.

You're so sure she's innocent,

but Diana's clearly
capable of deception.

Look, I know you're upset
about this picture...

She's been having an affair for a year.

God knows what else she's hiding.

Are you worried
that Diana is snowing me?

Or are you afraid of something else?

Well, should I be afraid
of something else?

I can't believe I even have to say this,

but I would never be unfaithful to you.

All I want to do is represent Diana.

You don't want to represent her.

You want to save her.

ROB: You never told me

about Bull and Diana.

I told you that she was
very important to Bull.

You failed to mention why.

That was some pretty good dirt

you kept from me, Chester,
and you know it.

No. We agreed that we were
gonna keep things professional.

That means no dirt.

Okay. Yeah.

Fine. If we're gonna be
all professional,

then I have an updated
witness list for you.

Who's Dr. Audrey Birdge?

Oh, that's your job to figure that out.

[LAUGHS]: Oh...

My name is Dr. Audrey Birdge.

I'm a forensic pathologist,
more commonly known

as a medical examiner.

And do you have
any specific area of expertise?

AUDREY: My training
includes a specialization

in hepatology,
which is diseases of the liver.

ROB: Dr. Birdge, how long

would it take someone to bleed to death

from a s*ab wound to the liver?

If a healthy person was stabbed

at the same depth as Greta Page's cut,

it would take them
several hours to bleed out.

And was Greta Page
a relatively healthy person?

I'm afraid not. Her liver showed signs

of advanced cirrhosis,

which is often caused by heavy drinking.

Cirrhosis prevents
the blood from clotting,

which makes exsanguination much faster.

So how long would it have taken
for Greta Page to bleed out?

Roughly to minutes.

ROB: In your expert opinion...

I don't think I like
where this is going.

...could have bled to death
in less than minutes?

It's extremely unlikely.

What about less than minutes?

AUDREY: No.

I don't believe that's possible.

Yeah, I definitely don't like it.

It's been previously established

that the paramedics arrived
and pronounced Greta dead

a mere minutes

after Frederick

got to the house,
so are you saying that even

if Frederick had stabbed Greta

the second he arrived at the house,

uh, she would have still been alive

by the time the paramedics arrived?

Yes. She could not have
bled out that quickly.

Meaning that Frederick Page could not

- have k*lled Greta?
- Correct.

TAYLOR: So,

if Frederick didn't k*ll Greta, then...

At least I know I wasn't
sleeping with a m*rder*r.

Silver linings.

Well, here's the thing we know for sure.

Diana didn't do this.

So who did?

Well, let's start from the beginning.

Were we too quick to reject the idea

of someone coming in through the back?

There's no security camera out there.

DANNY: Well, like I said before,

they would've had to walk up the beach.

The neighbors

on both sides have cameras

that capture the beaches.

Well, they could've come
from the water by boat.

Walked straight up to the Pages' house.

TAYLOR: I watched the neighbors'
beach footage.

I didn't see a boat, and
between all of the cameras,

I'm pretty sure you can see
the full shoreline

in back of the Pages' house.

Pretty sure or positive?

Y'all excuse me?

I need to use the restroom.

Okay, we need to point
the finger at someone else.

So find me a someone

and a somehow.

Or that jury is gonna have

no problem saying Diana is guilty.

And until we do?

- What?
- We're up tomorrow, Bull,

and right now I don't have
anyone to call as a witness.

Well, then, find us a way
to get a continuance.

[WATER RUNNING]

[FAUCET SQUEAKS]

[SNIFFLES]

Hey.

Hey.

I just want to apologize to you.

I know that you and Jason

were supposed to be on vacation and...

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

well, this isn't a vacation.

It happens.

Jason is really good at getting
people out of trouble.

Lord knows I need that.

- [COUGHING]
- [WATER SPLASHING]

Are you okay?

[COUGHING]

Diana? Can I, can I get you anything?

[TOILET FLUSHES]

No.

I'm fine.

It's just nerves, that's all.

Never been accused of m*rder before.

Yeah, I used to throw up
all the time, too.

When... When I was pregnant.

Are you...?

[SOFTLY]: Yeah.

Ain't that a kick in the pants?

Yeah.

How long have you known?

I found out the day
before Greta was k*lled.

Did you tell Frederick?

No.

[EXHALES]

I didn't know what I wanted to do. I...

I didn't know if I was even
gonna keep the baby.

I just...

And then this happened. I...

Diana, you should have
told me this right away.

- I know.
- I asked you

if you were serious
about him and you said no.

- You weren't.
- I wasn't.

Do you know how this
is gonna look to a jury when

they find out that
you're carrying his baby?

- Yes.
- They're gonna think

you k*lled his wife so that
you could have the father

- of the baby all to yourself.
- I know.

Why wouldn't you tell me?

Because then it would be real!

And I...

I can't...

[EXHALES]

I can't think about
having a baby right now

or I'm just gonna lose it, okay?

I always thought if...

...I found out I was pregnant,
it would be a happy thing.

You know?

I could just tell the father
and we'd be so excited together.

But this is...

Did you k*ll her?

How could you ask me that,
Jason? You know me.

Maybe that's the problem.

Izzy says I don't see things
clearly when it comes to you.

What are you saying?

You told me you used to love me.

And I loved you, too.

Maybe that's why

I don't want to believe
you could have done this.

- Jason.
- So...

if I'm gonna defend you,

you have to tell me the whole truth.

I didn't k*ll Greta Page.

CHUNK: All I'm asking for

is a short continuance to
pursue a new lead, Your Honor.

- Three, four days, tops.
- Your Honor,

as my esteemed colleague is well aware,

I have another trial on the
docket next week. A continuance

would cause a major conflict.

Should an innocent woman get convicted

to suit my esteemed
colleague's calendar?

ROB: That's clearly not what I'm saying.

Maybe you shouldn't have taken this case

if your schedule was so tight.

Gentlemen, I have a dinner reservation,

so let's wrap this up.

Mr. Palmer,

I'll grant you a continuance.

Thank you, Your Honor.

For one day.

That's it.

So you're welcome, Mr. Jones.

Thank you, Your Honor.

I thought you said you were okay
with me taking this case.

- I am okay with it.
- Then what's with the dig

about how I shouldn't
have taken the case?

I was making an argument
to get a continuance.

Whoa...

You don't have a new lead, do you?

- Yes, I do.
- Uh-uh.

Your case is tanking
and you're trying to buy time.

My case isn't tanking and I have a lead.

- A big lead.
- You're creasing.

What?

When you get stressed, you get this...

adorable little crease

right there, right between
your eyebrows.

- I don't have a...
- Right now, you are creasing.

No, I don't. This is... It's my face.

It's what I look like all the time.
It's my face!

Hmm. Well, the mirror and I
respectfully disagree.

Look...

Are we gonna be okay?

- When I win?
- We'll never know,

'cause you're not gonna win.

Have fun with your "big lead."

I will.

Hey.

Hey.

I didn't think you'd be up.

What you doing?

Uh, just thinking.

Ah.

Well, I suppose you know that...

...you were right.

Diana was... hiding something from me.

I feel sorry for her,

being pregnant on her own,
at a time like this.

Yeah. I think she's terrified.

You were right about
the other thing, too.

What other thing?

Part of me did...

want to save Diana.

The truth is, I ended things abruptly

when you and I got back together.

And there were unresolved feelings?

Yes.

And I justified taking her
case because I knew that I...

would never cross a line with her.

You're the only woman I want to be with.

But it was not fair of me to...

put you in that position,

make you worry.

I wasn't even really worried about you.

Or... even Diana. I...

[SIGHS]


You know, when I was pregnant
with Astrid,

things weren't exactly on
the up and up either.

I was... married to Michael.

I was unfaithful.

But you and I were married before...

I don't think Michael
would appreciate the difference.

I just... I...

I sometimes feel
like something's coming to me.

Punishment for my sins.

I don't think the world
really works like that.

- [SIGHS]
- People don't get what they deserve,

good or bad.

Well... [SCOFFS]

you're not Catholic.

That's true.

Well, if you want to
bring God into this,

all you have to do is look at our...

beautiful daughter to know the Almighty

is just fine with our shenanigans.

"Shenanigans"?

Yes. That's what the kids
are calling it these days.

I would never want to
mess up what we have.

Me neither.

And for what it's worth, I...

I really hope you can save Diana.

Me, too.

Veronica Davis?

Yes?

My name's Danny James. I'm an
investigator working on behalf

of the woman accused
of k*lling Greta Page.

Not interested.

- I just have a few questions.
- No.

You're gonna try and pin this on me.

- Why would you say that?
- You wouldn't be here

if you didn't already know
that Greta Page ruined my life.

But, sorry,

- I didn't k*ll her.
- Well, maybe you can just help me

understand Greta a little better.

I heard that she got you fired

after you kicked her daughter
off the volleyball team.

That must'vesucked.

"Sucked"?

I almost went to jail.

Jail? Why?

[SCOFFS]

I guess you didn't do your homework.

Well, not well enough, I guess.

Are you gonna educate me

or should I talk to your boss?

I'm sure you wouldn't be working here

if you had an easy time getting a job.

I kicked Greta Page's kid off
of the team

because she was late.

Every day.

And that woman went ballistic.

She demanded the school fire me, but...

school backed me up.

Next thing I know,
I'm getting pulled over

in the school parking lot
because of an anonymous tip,

and the cops found cocaine in my car.

So you think Greta planted the dr*gs?

I think that psycho

would do whatever it takes
to get what she wants.

Do we know for sure
that Greta really did that?

Because planting dr*gs on someone

for kicking your kid
off the volleyball team is...

I-I... I don't even know what that is.

Frederick always said
his wife could be vindictive.

BULL: Doesn't matter whether
Greta really did it.

Veronica Davis thinks she did
it, which gives her motive.

We can put her in front of the
jury as an alternate suspect.

Yeah, that's not gonna go
so well for us.

To avoid jail time,

Veronica's been doing a
court-ordered sobriety program.

She was there at the time of the m*rder.

So the suspect list is down to me again.

Pretty much.

- Maybe that's the point.
- DIANA: How so?

Well, you've always been the
obvious suspect here. Right?

So maybe Greta wanted it that way.

Maybe she framed you the way

she framed that coach.

She grabbed you by the arm

maybe to put blood on you.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

You think that woman hated me so much

that she'd be willing to die
to set me up?

Maybe she didn't plan on dying.

Maybe she just wanted to wound herself,

blame you and then he
goes running back to her.

That seems pretty complicated.

I mean, didn't Greta tell her neighbor

that she had just found out

about Frederick's affair that day?

Actually, she didn't.

When I was examining Greta's devices,

I discovered that she spoofed

Frederick's phone last summer.

She'd seen all of his texts.

She knew about the affair for months.

So why lie to your neighbor,

unless you're planning something?

DANNY: I kind of see

a big problem with this whole theory.

The Kn*fe.

How does a dead woman dispose
of her own m*rder w*apon?

BULL: Well, if she planned
this in advance,

then she would've planned
a hiding place in advance.

A place the police
would not think of searching.

Maybe you can...

I'll head to the house
and start searching.

Okay. And, you know,
we don't have a lot of time,

- so...
- I'll go, too.

Thank you.

Don't thank us yet.

Searched the patio high and low.

That Kn*fe is not out there.

I really wanted it to be...

hidden inside Slicing
& Dicing with Jimmy.

Because of the title?

Because of the title.

It was the last one on the shelf.

Well, the Kn*fe's either
in the patio or the kitchen.

Those are the only two places
they found Greta's blood.

Or Diana walked out with it
and dumped it in the ocean.

We're not going there.

Did you check the dishwasher?

Right when I got here.

Good. That would've been embarrassing.

Look at how happy they look
in their pictures.

It's hard to believe their
marriage is so terrible.

People are always more
messed up than you think.

That's what keeps us employed.

[CHUCKLES]: Yeah.

You ever wish you were
a children's librarian?

Taylor.

I'm not gonna quit or anything.

No, check this out.

Maybe this is how Greta
got rid of the Kn*fe.

You think she used her son

to get rid of the Kn*fe? That's dark.

No. Look.

The science fair project.

This kid used a weather balloon

to launch a camera into outer space.

Now, a Kn*fe is much lighter
than that camera.

BULL: She used

a weather balloon
to dispose of a m*rder w*apon?

I thought it sounded
like a stretch, too.

But then I took another look at
the neighbors' security footage

of the beach. Look what I saw

just a few minutes
after Diana left the house.

Okay.

All I see is water and sky.

Wait for it.

There. Looks an awful lot
like a weather balloon to me.

Greta's body was found on the patio.

We think she went out there
to launch the balloon.

There's a shed in the back

where that balloon
could've been stashed,

blown up and ready. It tracks.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

But is it gonna sound
like science fiction to a jury?

[EXHALES]

Not if it comes from the
person who knew Greta best.

[SCOFFS]

What are you saying?

You think... Greta stabbed herself

to get revenge on Diana?

I'm asking if you think
your wife is capable

of doing something like this.

I know she had...

some issues, but...

God.

Your wife set out to ruin Diana's life.

And she might succeed
if you don't stop her.

Stop her how?

What, you want me to get up
on the witness stand

and-and tell the world
that my wife was a sociopath?

I can't do that to my kids.

Look, I know that this is difficult...

They just lost their mother.

I will not take her memory away
from them, too.

Diana could go to jail for years.

This jury is against her.

No. They won't convict her.

She's got a great lawyer.

And she has you.

I know you will do whatever it takes

to protect her.

But I have to protect my children.

This is not my news to share.

But before you make a decision

you're gonna regret, there's something

you should know.

Diana is pregnant.

Pregnant?

Yes.

- Are you sure?
- Frederick,

how are you gonna protect that child?

I first realized that something
was wrong with my wife

about ten years ago.

Our family was living in a co-op.

And we had this next-door neighbor.

She was young,

single, pretty.

And my wife got it into her head

that this woman had a thing for me,

thought she was
intentionally working out

in the building gym the same time I was.

One day, the woman came over
to borrow a drill and...

Greta came home
and found her there and...

totally freaked out.

Next thing I know,
this woman is kicked out

of the building by the co-op board.

Why was she kicked out?

Someone had sent the board an ad

that this woman supposedly posted

online offering sexual services
out of her apartment.

[STAMMERS] She was a masseuse,

so people were coming in and out
all the time.

You don't think that
your neighbor placed that ad?

I know she didn't.

When I confronted my wife

about faking it, she didn't deny it.

She just said,
"I'll do whatever I have to

to protect my marriage."

CHUNK: Your testimony
from a few days ago

implied that you believed

that Ms. Lindsay k*lled your wife.

Do you still believe that?

No.

Based on what I know now,

I believe that Greta
went to great lengths...

...to set Diana up, too.

No further questions, Your Honor.

LEAVY: Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the charge of m*rder
in the second degree,

we, the jury, find the defendant,

Diana Lindsay,

not guilty.
