No, no, no, no.

What happened to April, Dory?

Tell me the truth.

Drew, I already told you what happened.

Did you k*ll her?

Did you k*ll her?!

Of course I didn't.

Dory, I'm not f*cking around!

Listen, Drew, come on.

- You know me.

Dory, you come clean right now,
or I'm taking this obelisk,

I'm going right to the police,

and I'm telling them
exactly what we did,

'cause I don't care
anymore what happens to me.

Now, will you please tell me the truth?

Did you k*ll April?

PORTIA: Drew, sweetie...
of course Dor did not k*ll April.

She is not that insane, okay?

Right, Dor?

I told you what happened.

Remember?

I don't have any, like,

I don't know where she is.

You just have to trust me that
I'm telling you the truth.

I don't believe you.

You know what? Forget about April.

Forget about April,
'cause you're obviously

not gonna tell me the truth,

And I wasn't there, so how would I know?

But will you do me a favor,
and will you just admit

that we k*lled Keith?

Okay,
'cause you won't even say that anymore,

and it is so scary, Dory.

I can't tell if you know
you're guilty and you're lying,

or if somehow, in your sick brain,

you have convinced yourself

that you are actually innocent.

Okay, you're acting crazy.

I don't even recognize you.

You have something crazy
in your eyes right now.

No, no, no! You're doing that thing!

You're doing that thing, right,
where you twist it on me, okay?

I see you do it with everybody.

You do it with Cassidy.
You do it with the press.

But you are not a victim, Dory!

You are not innocent.
This is your fault.

So admit to me... admit it...
That we k*lled Keith!

- Admit it!
- Stop yelling!

I feel like you're gonna
hit me or something,

You're acting so psycho right now.

Do you remember this?

NEWS CORRESPONDENT: The latest twist

in a trial already full of
discombobulation came last week,

When Dory Sief fired her lawyer,
Cassidy Diamond.

Some wonder if this
is a last-minute tactic

on Dory's part to have a chance

to plead her case to the
jury without the thr*at

of cross-examination.

Regardless of how well she does today,

she will still be tried with
her co-defendant, Drew Gardner,

Despite the chaos this
may create for their case.

[WHISPERED [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Hello.

It's wonderful to see
you all this morning.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

I'm just so sorry we have to spend it

In this stuffy courtroom.

This has been a very difficult case,

despite the abundance...
[MOUTHING WORDS]

... of hard evidence.

In a way, I almost respect the defense

for how they spun a web
of lies so distracting,

we almost forgot why we were here.

But I know you'll see
through that strategy,

because in the end,
rationality and justice prevails!

So... [SLAPS RAILING]

... here are the facts.

This is the house that
they spent the night in.

And this is where Keith's
body was found... yards

from the house.

Thank you, Garrett.

Dory Sief and Drew
Gardner's hair was found

on Mr. Powell's clothing.

Dory Sief's DNA was found
under Mr. Powell's fingernails.

- El?
- Yeah?

Do you think we're
the most famous people

- in the world right now?
- I hope so.

[SIGHS] Me, too.

Now, I'd like you to
imagine for just a moment

you're the CEO of a fabulous company.

It's a fashion magazine or
something now like that.

Hmm?

It's : , and you're busy prepping

for your : appointment.

It's an interview.

An interview for a high-level position

at your fabulous company.

In walks Dory Sief, and,
boy, does she look the part.

You feel an instant connection.

She feels authentic.

How wrong you'd be.

In a million years, you'd never guess

that she strung her boyfriend
along to carry out a plot

of mutilation and bloodshed

because she played you like a fiddle.

"She's like me,"

you might say.

No, you'd be wrong.

She isn't.

To me, she is the
embodiment of entitlement.

She is the epitome of moral corruption,

and, as we've all come to see,
she's also a media whore.

The truth about Dory Sief
is that she couldn't get

any job that she applied for,

so she had literally
nothing to do with her life.

And that malaise
turned into self-hatred,

and that self-hatred turned into rage,

and that rage b*rned so hot

that the only thing that
could put out that fire

was the taste of human blood!

And so she b*at the life
out of Keith Powell,

a man who felt safe with her!

Like you might, sir.

Like you might, Juror Number Six.

And then... they covered it up.

I mean, they knew
what they did was wrong,

and they didn't want to get caught,

So they covered it up.

And ladies and gentlemen,

the worst part of all of this

is that Dory Sief shows no remorse.

She shows no empathy.

She just lies, and she lies,
and she lies, and she loves

how good she is at it.

There's a word for people like her.

Evil.

[FOOTSTEPS ECHO]

Wow!

I cannot believe we
didn't see it earlier.

Good job, Polly.

Ugh.

I'm tired.

I had a crazy night.

I couldn't go to sleep.

And then, when I went to sleep,
I had a dream.

And it was a pleasant dream.

It was really nice. [CHUCKLES]

And you were all in
it, and you were in it,

and you weren't, Polly,
but it all worked out.

You guys believed it wasn't
beyond a reasonable doubt

that they were guilty.

And if you have reasonable doubt,

You have to say no, you know?

There has to be some evidence
that you really believe

and that isn't shaky.

The two suitcase thing, I can never...

I can't... I can't get past that.

That's not a coincidence.

That's... That's proof for me.

I guess I'm a little bit nervous,

but, uh, here goes nothing.

I did a presentation for AP
History in my senior year,

and I was so afraid of what
people would think of me

that I fainted halfway
through my speech.

Now, I couldn't be less afraid
of what people think of me.

Because I've heard it all at this point.

I've been called a vixen,

a monster, a slut, a m*rder*r.

Just this morning,
somebody called me a sphinx

from Hipsterville.

[LAUGHS]

And even evil.

I can see why Polly said that.

And I even understand why she thinks

I did this heinous crime.

I know that the evidence
doesn't look good.

I mean, even I look at
the police reports and think,

"Oh, yeah, this girl is guilty."

But I didn't do it.

The police reports don't
tell the full story.

It's all a fabrication.

I can't know how or why our DNA ended up

in places that it shouldn't be.

You know, and I wish I
had a better answer for that,

But I just don't.

And I can't know something
that I don't know,

And I can't make up answers because that

wouldn't be the truth.

But what I didn't know is that

it is so scary what can happen

when you are in the wrong
place at the wrong time.

[VOICE BREAKING] I cry every

day because I'm just so afraid

of what's gonna happen to me.

And I miss Keith.

He was my friend, and he's dead.

Do you know what it's like to be
blamed for your friend's death?

And I can't even bear to
think about what his family

is going through, Deb and his daughter.

They're good people, and they

don't deserve this suffering.

Maybe Keith wasn't a perfect man.

You know, he...
he was a private investigator,

And he... and he
dredged up people's pasts.

And when... when
you do that for a living,

you make a lot of enemies.

I don't know i-if one of
those people did this to him.

I don't know if they framed me.

I don't know. I just... I don't know,

But I do lie in bed at night,
and I'm wondering, you know,

I'm just trying to make
sense of all of this.

We... We are victims of circumstance.

He's a good man,
