Exactly how close were you two?
Nothing happened between us,

We both agreed to wait

You knew she was planning a divorce?
I was the one who suggested it.
Kyle was a dirt bag.
You know, every time Nancy
went to go visit her mom,
or spend the weekend
horseback-riding, he'd bring
over one of his mistresses.

Hence these photographs.

And who is she?

You're not gonna believe what
your pal Glinski's been up to.
years ago Aristotle said,
"We are what we repeatedly do."
Hey!
A client presents you with information
that could impact a m*rder
trial and your first move
is to rig the jury?
Don't come in here all high
and mighty, Everett.
Oh, you are interfering

- and you know it.

and blackmail some poor
juror with naked photos?

Just ignoring one thing:
Nancy Blunton
- didn't k*ll her husband.
- Are you actually trying
to convince me that you
care about this woman?
How many murders have you
seen committed on diazepam?
Downers don't ignite anger,
- it suppresses it.
- Well, you should get a bowl
- of them handy for your clients.
- Funny, Everett!
That's funny. In the meantime,
Nancy gets to spend
years of her life in jail
for a crime she didn't commit.
Glinski won't be a problem anymore.
Then what's the matter?
Nothing. Why?
Well, you get this crinkle
in your brow when you worry.
OK, fine.
Look, Glinski might be a cheater,
but he's got good instincts.
He made a good point
about the diazepam. If he thinks
Nancy Blunton's innocent,
there might be something to it.
So we present the evidence,
let the courts sort it out.
By the time that happens,
Nancy will be convicted.
An appeal could take years.
So what are you saying?
We need to find something concrete.
Are you suggesting we try to
dig up evidence to help Nancy?
Our client, the prosecutor,
isn't going to like that much.
- Mel doesn't need to know.
- But all we have to go on
is a blurry photograph of Kyle's
supposed lover. How are we
- supposed to find her?
- Eleanor Brown said that
work was Kyle's second wife.
Maybe there was a reason for that.
I think I need to pay her a visit.
Eleanor?
Yes?
Angie Everett, Everett Investigations.
- Do you know this woman?
- Well, that's Sadie Tufts.
What's this about?
I'm tying up some loose ends
for Prosecutor Mel Parker.
Did Ms. Tufts work with Kyle?
Well, she was his assistant.
But he fired her months ago.
Because they were having an affair.
I am not at liberty to
discuss the private lives
- of my former employees.
- Please, Ms. Brown.
It's possible that Nancy Blunton
didn't m*rder Kyle.
Well, you think Sadie Tufts did?
Was she upset about being fired?
Could she have been holding a grudge?
- I'm not sure about that.
- If Nancy's innocent,
don't you think that every
lead should be followed?
(sighing)
Thanks for coming in, Sadie.
Can you tell us about
- your relationship with Kyle?
- Sure.
Kyle and I had a fling, but I
was the one who called it off.
And then you were fired.
That must have been
- quite the gut punch.
- Well, it was actually
a relief. I knew it was coming.
When I ended the affair, Kyle
turned everyone against me.
I got so paranoid I started
secretly backing up my files.
The old build-up-a*mo-
in-case-you-get-fired trick.
Exactly, but then the company gave me
a generous severance package
and I had no reason to use it.
Doesn't mean that you
weren't still pissed at Kyle.
I know where this is going,
and I was in Edinburgh
when he was m*rder*d. Cousin's wedding.
Did you ever notice Kyle acting odd?
Worried about something? Somebody?
Because of the alarm thing you mean?
- What alarm thing?
- His house alarm.
He was obsessed with it.
He'd turn it on as soon
as we were inside.
As if anyone would want to steal
- one of his stupid brass tigers.
- He would arm the alarm
- even when he was home?
- Always.
I had to text him whenever I'd
arrived so he could shut it off.
He made me park at a nearby ice rink.
Wouldn't it have been easier
just to give you the code?
He didn't trust anyone with that code.
- Not even his cleaning lady.
- The cleaning lady?
One day he gets this call at work.
She triggered the alarm by accident.
He wouldn't even text
her the code then.
He drove over there just
to deal with it himself.
(Shade): Nancy Blunton may be innocent.
We have two new witnesses
who claim Kyle was paranoid,
his mistress and a neighbour. Apparently
his alarm was on all the time.
What does this have to do
with you and the picture
- of juror number five?
- Nothing. We took care of that.
But we discovered the cleaning
lady didn't have the alarm code,
which suggests that someone
turned it off during the night.
Which means Kyle may have
let in his own m*rder*r.
- Who asked you to do this?
- We were just being thorough.
You work for me, not the defence.
But you might be sending
an innocent woman to jail.
- Look at all the evidence!
- The unsubstantiated accounts
of a jilted ex-lover and a stalker?
Isn't this at least worth
taking a look at?
I mean, don't you wanna file
a... get an injunction to...
to... stop the court
from doing what it does?
I am a prosecutor.
It's my job to convict her,
not to root around
for conspiracy theories.
So you're not gonna do anything?
Now that you mention it, I am:
You're fired.

Joke's on her.
The job was already over.
Look, I know you were hoping
for a long-term relationship,
but we're better off without her.

Nancy's innocent.

Exactly how close were you two?
Nothing happened between us,

You knew she was planning a divorce?
I was the one who suggested it.
Kyle was a dirt bag.
You know, every time Nancy
went to go visit her mom,
or spend the weekend
horseback-riding, he'd bring
over one of his mistresses.

Hence these photographs.

your pal Glinski's been up to.
years ago Aristotle said,
"We are what we repeatedly do."

that could impact a m*rder
trial and your first move
is to rig the jury?
Don't come in here all high

Nancy Blunton

care about this woman?
How many murders have you
seen committed on diazepam?
Downers don't ignite anger,
- it suppresses it.
- Well, you should get a bowl
- of them handy for your clients.
- Funny, Everett!
That's funny. In the meantime,
Nancy gets to spend
years of her life in jail
for a crime she didn't commit.
Glinski won't be a problem anymore.
Then what's the matter?
Nothing. Why?
Well, you get this crinkle
in your brow when you worry.
OK, fine.
Look, Glinski might be a cheater,
but he's got good instincts.
He made a good point
about the diazepam. If he thinks
Nancy Blunton's innocent,
there might be something to it.
So we present the evidence,
let the courts sort it out.
By the time that happens,
Nancy will be convicted.
An appeal could take years.
So what are you saying?
We need to find something concrete.
Are you suggesting we try to
dig up evidence to help Nancy?
Our client, the prosecutor,
isn't going to like that much.
- Mel doesn't need to know.
- But all we have to go on
is a blurry photograph of Kyle's
supposed lover. How are we
- supposed to find her?
- Eleanor Brown said that
work was Kyle's second wife.
Maybe there was a reason for that.
I think I need to pay her a visit.
Eleanor?
Yes?
Angie Everett, Everett Investigations.
- Do you know this woman?
- Well, that's Sadie Tufts.
What's this about?
I'm tying up some loose ends
for Prosecutor Mel Parker.
Did Ms. Tufts work with Kyle?
Well, she was his assistant.
But he fired her months ago.
Because they were having an affair.
I am not at liberty to
discuss the private lives
- of my former employees.
- Please, Ms. Brown.
It's possible that Nancy Blunton
didn't m*rder Kyle.
Well, you think Sadie Tufts did?
Was she upset about being fired?
Could she have been holding a grudge?
- I'm not sure about that.
- If Nancy's innocent,
don't you think that every
lead should be followed?
(sighing)
Thanks for coming in, Sadie.
Can you tell us about
- your relationship with Kyle?
- Sure.
Kyle and I had a fling, but I
was the one who called it off.
And then you were fired.
That must have been
- quite the gut punch.
- Well, it was actually
a relief. I knew it was coming.
When I ended the affair, Kyle
turned everyone against me.
I got so paranoid I started
secretly backing up my files.
The old build-up-a*mo-
in-case-you-get-fired trick.
Exactly, but then the company gave me
a generous severance package
and I had no reason to use it.
Doesn't mean that you
weren't still pissed at Kyle.
I know where this is going,
and I was in Edinburgh
when he was m*rder*d. Cousin's wedding.
Did you ever notice Kyle acting odd?
Worried about something? Somebody?
Because of the alarm thing you mean?
- What alarm thing?
- His house alarm.
He was obsessed with it.
He'd turn it on as soon
as we were inside.
As if anyone would want to steal
- one of his stupid brass tigers.
- He would arm the alarm
- even when he was home?
- Always.
I had to text him whenever I'd
arrived so he could shut it off.
He made me park at a nearby ice rink.
Wouldn't it have been easier
just to give you the code?
He didn't trust anyone with that code.
- Not even his cleaning lady.
- The cleaning lady?
One day he gets this call at work.
She triggered the alarm by accident.
He wouldn't even text
her the code then.
He drove over there just
to deal with it himself.
(Shade): Nancy Blunton may be innocent.
We have two new witnesses
who claim Kyle was paranoid,
his mistress and a neighbour. Apparently
his alarm was on all the time.
What does this have to do
with you and the picture
- of juror number five?
- Nothing. We took care of that.
But we discovered the cleaning
lady didn't have the alarm code,
which suggests that someone
turned it off during the night.
Which means Kyle may have
let in his own m*rder*r.
- Who asked you to do this?
- We were just being thorough.
You work for me, not the defence.
But you might be sending
an innocent woman to jail.
- Look at all the evidence!
- The unsubstantiated accounts
of a jilted ex-lover and a stalker?
Isn't this at least worth
taking a look at?
I mean, don't you wanna file
a... get an injunction to...
to... stop the court
from doing what it does?
I am a prosecutor.
It's my job to convict her,
not to root around
for conspiracy theories.
So you're not gonna do anything?
Now that you mention it, I am:
You're fired.
(sighing)
Joke's on her.
The job was already over.
Look, I know you were hoping
for a long-term relationship,
but we're better off without her.
We don't need Mel. We need
evidence that proves our theory.
You're still convinced
Nancy's innocent.
I don't know. But I won't

The alarm in your house.
Was it on the night
that Kyle was k*lled?
- Well, I'm sure it was.
- And you didn't
turn it off? To leave, take a walk?
I wasn't lucid enough to leave my room,
- let alone the front door.
- When the maid
arrived in the morning,
the alarm was switched off.
Now according to our sources,
she didn't have the code.
So if you didn't disable it,
then Kyle most likely did.
Possibly to let someone in.

- Wait. Wait. Wait.
Just stop right there, OK?

- Trust me. It's OK.

What are you doing?
How dare you give my client

- Was turned off. At : PM.
- Wait. You know about that?
- From the alarm company
records. I'm her defence
attorney. What the hell
- do you think I've been doing?
- Then why haven't you raised it
- in court?
- Nancy Blunton doesn't remember
a single thing that happened
after : PM.
If I bring up the alarm,
the prosecution will att*ck
her character all over again,
and that works against
- everything I'm building.
- You think she did this.

Alright. Let's go through this
one more time.
Alright. PM,
Kyle sets the alarm.

And Kyle locks himself in his man cave,
Nancy goes to the bedroom.
She pops a few diazepam say, : .

I hear you do a pretty good
impression of a private eye.
Matt Shade. I heard you
did a good impression

- What do you mean,
- Kyle was broke?
- I looked through
the prospectus documents on the
stocks that Kyle was peddling.
- Phony paper?
- Ponzi scheme!
Except I don't think
Kyle knew about it.
He transferred two hundred grand
of his own funds into company bonds;
nobody working a Ponzi scheme
would use his own money.
What if Kyle found out that
night his bonds were worthless?
By talking to Eleanor.
Asking if he could cash them out
in order to hide his assets
from Nancy in the divorce.
Kyle finds out
that his wife's gonna
take him to the cleaners.
So he calls Eleanor at :
to help him hide his assets.
But by then, Nancy's out like a light.
So he invites Eleanor over
to approve the transaction.
Shuts off the alarm to let her in.
Once there, she's forced to admit
that the portfolio is worthless.
If I'm Kyle,
I demand payment,
using my knowledge of
her scam as leverage.
And if I'm Eleanor,
I'm gonna want to shut him up.
Ideally forever. Holy crap.
Are we saying
what I think we're saying?
If we're right,

"You'll take my money

This woman. We need to know

It would have been
maybe two months ago?
Yeah, I remember her.
Yeah, she parked right over there.
White luxury sedan.

- Hard to forget,
she was acting strange.
She was wearing a big fur coat,
but she came back with it
rolled up under her arms,

- So you talked to her?
Yeah. I checked to see if she
was drunk, but she seemed fine.
Said she just spilt wine on it,
I kept wondering why she
didn't wear it anyways.
Thanks, you've been a big help.
Hundred bucks says that wasn't wine

Kyle made her park here, just
like Sadie Tufts. He didn't want
his neighbours to know
he was hiding his money.

- Not without proof.
We've got the Ponzi scheme
which implies motive,
evidence that the alarm
wasn't set, and now this guy
puts Eleanor here on the
night of the m*rder.
We can't cut any corners, OK?
There's a right way

Texting Zoe. If Eleanor's
at the court again,
there's a parking lot we need to visit.
Eleanor's still here. The jury

released anyone yet. They're

You haven't told her
about us yet, have you?
Anncr: Shade has a sexy secret.
You're wearing the same
shirt as yesterday.
You're dating someone.
Anncr: But Angie has a few
secrets of her own.
Who is that guy?
The one that got away.
Anncr: An old flame is in
some hot water.
I think your judgement is being clouded

Anncr: Can she help him

You need to watch your step

Why all the mystery?
You've got quite an imagination.
This is highly unorthodox.
You got another ace up your sleeve?
We only need five minutes.
- Sid? What's going on?
- It's OK.
Here we go.
I'm Angie Everett.
This is my partner, Matt Shade.
Do you mind if we ask you
a few questions?
The alarm in your house.
Was it on the night
that Kyle was k*lled?
- Well, I'm sure it was.
- And you didn't
turn it off? To leave, take a walk?
I wasn't lucid enough to leave my room,
- let alone the front door.
- When the maid
arrived in the morning,
the alarm was switched off.
Now according to our sources,
she didn't have the code.
So if you didn't disable it,
then Kyle most likely did.
Possibly to let someone in.
- Wait, are you saying...
- Wait. Wait. Wait.
Just stop right there, OK?
The interview's over. Guard!
- Sid...
- It's OK. No. No.
It's fine. Would you take
Mrs. Blunton back to her cell?
- No, Sid, wait, please...
- No. No. No.
They're... no. It's OK.
- Trust me. It's OK.
- OK.
What are you doing?
How dare you give my client
false hope like that?
- False hope? Her alarm...
- Was turned off. At : PM.
- Wait. You know about that?
- From the alarm company
records. I'm her defence
attorney. What the hell
- do you think I've been doing?
- Then why haven't you raised it
- in court?
- Nancy Blunton doesn't remember
a single thing that happened
after : PM.
If I bring up the alarm,
the prosecution will att*ck
her character all over again,
and that works against
- everything I'm building.
- You think she did this.
My job is not to judge.
My job is to deliver the best
possible outcome for my client.
By throwing in the towel and
gunning for a lesser sentence.
That woman may be innocent,
and you're leaving out
the fact that Kyle may
have let someone else in.
A reasonable doubt only exists
when there's another suspect.
You want to help Nancy?
Find someone else who
could have done this.
Otherwise, I suggest you stay
