00:00Previously on The Better Sister.
00:04You Ethan?
00:05I'm Detective Guidry. This is my partner, Detective Bowen.
00:08There was an incident involving your father.
00:09He didn't make it.
00:10You should know we contacted Nicole McIntosh.
00:13You know that Nikki's an addict and she hasn't seen him in many years.
00:16But she's still his legal guardian.
00:18We have a few more questions for Ethan.
00:20It's final.
00:21No! I'm your mother.
00:23Go to your room. That is final.
00:27I found this lifter suit.
00:29And what is this company, Gentry?
00:32They seem like every other group we represent, but check it out.
00:36Hey, Artie, is everything okay?
00:38The detectives are outside within my PD. There's nothing I can do.
00:41Search warrant for the premises.
00:43Who's the commanding officer here?
00:44Finally.
00:45Michelle Sanders. I've been hired by the family as counsel for Ethan McIntosh.
00:49They have information that we don't.
00:51Kevin said something different than I did.
00:53You don't have to touch me!
00:54You are under arrest for the murder of Adam McIntosh.
00:57No, no, no! Come on! You can get out of my way!
00:59No, no, no! Come on! You can get out of my way!
01:00No, no, no! Come on! You can get out of my way!
01:14What was going through your head?
01:15Adam, please.
01:17Maybe. You could have killed somebody.
01:20Ethan!
01:22Yo, Ethan!
01:25You want?
01:28So you were playing with it after you stole it?
01:30Will you show off to your friends because you're so fucking cool?
01:33Adam.
01:37Hey, Helen. Are you out of your mind?
01:40You could have shot yourself in the fucking head.
01:49Adam.
01:50God!
01:53Ethan.
01:54This could follow you around for the rest of your life.
02:10Sonia, tell Nora to put a pause on the fucking press round-ups.
02:29I can't believe they're choking on these miserable bastards.
02:39It's a fucking nightmare.
02:40And the paparazzi circling out front.
02:42Downstairs?
02:43Bunch of rats scurrying.
02:45Oh, God, Jesus. He only just got arrested last night.
02:49I know. Murder in the Hamptons. Perfect family. Not so perfect.
02:52You know, people love that shit.
02:54Yeah.
02:55At least your doorman is keeping them at bay. For now.
02:58Oh, no, no. Art is not like that.
03:00I'm glad you trust him, but I'd add a few hundred bucks to whatever it is you're paying him.
03:04Insurance.
03:07You look like shit.
03:11The optics of your situation is starting to worry the board.
03:15Aren't you the board?
03:17I am, but everyone's got an ass to kiss, you know that.
03:19And right now, my board is concerned that you're not going to be able to give the real thing the attention it deserves.
03:27That was fast.
03:28Oh, no. That's not how they're saying it.
03:30They're offering condolences. If there's anything they can do, don't hesitate.
03:34But soon there are going to be whispers of a potential replacement, suggestions of a sabbatical, a break, albeit one that never ends.
03:41By the time you're ready to come back, whoever you've trained will have taken your place.
03:45Your name on the masthead replaced with hers.
03:51The person I've trained or the person you pick?
03:54Don't do that.
03:57We're on the same side.
03:58You need to make it clear at the board meeting tomorrow you're not going anywhere.
04:08Oh, fuck. I completely forgot.
04:11My driver can take you out there.
04:15Prep on the road.
04:16I already have, but I gotta get ready. I gotta handle this.
04:20Oh. You're perfect.
04:25Grief is something people can connect to.
04:29Makes you human. Relatable.
04:33You're someone people want to root for.
04:35That's why everyone loves the Kennedys.
04:37It's a shaky parallel.
04:41It is a heartbreaking story no one can turn away from.
04:45So you make that work for the next chapter of your story.
04:51Can we wait on packaging this, please?
04:56Spending this as opportunity is ghoulish, I know.
04:59What we're really talking about here is you.
05:05And your strength.
05:07Generally.
05:09And in this moment.
05:14It will only make the magazine better.
05:20It will only make you better.
05:29Good.
05:53A little early for a visit now.
05:57How long have you been there?
05:59Just a little bit.
06:00Jackie-o.
06:03She seems to have her priorities straight though.
06:05I know you're worried about your kid,
06:06but let's not forget about the brand.
06:08As far as surrogates go, pretty hard right turn away from mom.
06:12You know, she's more like a sister actually.
06:15Katherine is brilliant and she is helping me navigate some very tricky terrain.
06:20Brilliant is an overused term, as is genius.
06:23She's a legend.
06:24As is legend.
06:25She's one of the first female black multi-millionaires in this country.
06:28And one of the only black women to ever run a Fortune 500 company.
06:31Did you write the Wikipedia page yourself?
06:34I just, I actually can't with you.
06:36Chloe, nobody gives a shit about the two of you and your little dance for your board.
06:42Oh, you mean my job.
06:44Yeah, that thing that paid for Ethan's whole life.
06:46And what a life.
06:48I'm gonna print my notes.
06:49Okay, that's for your meeting tomorrow.
06:51And today Ethan has a hearing.
06:52And Chloe, we still don't know shit about it.
06:55I have been trying to get through to her.
06:57She is not picking up, okay?
06:59Jesus, you don't think I'm going crazy right now?
07:01Try again, you're not paying her enough?
07:03Fine, happy to.
07:05You've reached Michelle Sanders. Please leave a message.
07:09Hi, Michelle.
07:11This is Chloe Taylor calling again.
07:13Would you please call me back as soon as you have any information about today's hearing whatsoever?
07:17I would really appreciate it.
07:18Also, we still have no info regarding where Ethan is being held.
07:23Manhattan is saying Long Island and vice versa.
07:25So please call me.
07:28Fine.
07:29Okay.
07:33This is a good idea.
07:35East Hampton Police Department.
07:36Hi, Detective Guidry, please.
07:38One moment.
07:39This bitch.
07:41This is Detective Nan Guidry.
07:42Hi, Detective Guidry.
07:43This is Chloe Taylor, Ethan McIntosh's mom.
07:46Where is Ethan being held?
07:49Suffolk County Detention.
07:50I'm sorry, I thought you knew that.
07:52Appreciate the run around, thank you.
07:54Oh my God.
07:55Now what?
07:56Let's just go out there.
07:58Great.
07:59I am so tired of waiting.
08:00Great.
08:01Let's fucking go there.
08:02Let's go.
08:03Good.
08:04Alright.
08:05Good.
08:06Go get changed.
08:07Why would I?
08:08Your age, a passing understanding of decorum, and camel toe that can be seen from outer space.
08:26Why didn't they call the cops?
08:30It wasn't loaded.
08:31They knew I wasn't going to do anything.
08:35Then why did you bring it?
08:41It was a mistake.
08:42Got put in my bag by accident.
08:45You get in a lot of trouble, Ethan.
08:54Whose is it, Ethan?
08:55I was holding it for a friend.
08:57Dad, I swear it isn't mine.
09:03Whose is it, Ethan?
09:04So, you were actually holding it for somebody?
09:17Are you telling me the weed was Kevin's?
09:21No.
09:23He had some people to meet up with that night.
09:26My dad would have lost it if he ever found out.
09:29So, I couldn't be with Kevin in case he got caught or something.
09:34That's why I left him on the beach and told him to pick me up when he got done.
09:44Is that my mom?
09:47She can be intense.
09:50She's just worried.
09:57You know, now might be a good time for a break.
10:02Maybe we can both use something to eat.
10:12Thanks.
10:14Was that okay?
10:17Nine times out of ten, first interview is all bullshit anyway.
10:21It's alright.
10:22We're just getting to know each other.
10:25The time's gonna come when the prosecutor's gonna paint you as a violent kid.
10:29Who's capable of killing his father.
10:31Who has no plausible alibi.
10:35So, I'm hoping that by the time I get back.
10:39After you've gotten some food in your stomach, no time to think about things.
10:43You'll give me something more than put in my bag by accident.
10:54No.
11:01Official autopsy report, just came in.
11:04Bill Braddock's office.
11:05Gotta cross them off our list.
11:06What about the labs?
11:07Will I stay in on the chute?
11:08Ethan's own.
11:09Probably from the cut on his arm, fist bite with the pops before he killed him.
11:12Mm.
11:14Hello.
11:16Mr. Braddock.
11:18Detectives Bowen and Guidry here.
11:20You're a difficult man to get hold of.
11:21There's a lot to process, as you can imagine.
11:22On top of the usual business.
11:23How can I help you?
11:24On the day of his murder, we know Adam McIntosh and Jake Rodriguez were working with the Gentry
11:28Group.
11:29And we also know that you sent him on a second meeting with them alone?
11:33All we want to know is why.
11:34You like Adam better?
11:35Little competition is healthy between boys.
11:36Was there tension between Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. McIntosh regarding this competition?
11:46They understood their different appeals.
11:49However, they did not happen with women.
11:50You were able to keep in mind and help.
11:53If you didn't think you were able to keep in mind, sir, you didn't know what the person
11:56was to kill him.
11:57Well, what's going on?
11:58No.
11:59You're a tough man to get hold of.
12:00There's a lot to process, as you can imagine.
12:01On top of the usual business.
12:02differing appeals adam was a rigorous thinker gentry took a liking to him he seems to have
12:07fetid them with a send-off meal out in queens adam ever mentioned uh an issue with anyone from
12:12the gentry group never wasn't a squeaky wheel any of his files regarding the gentry group might be
12:18relevant to our investigation i can't imagine they would be lawyers aren't known for their

15:54Hey, cars are on the side.
15:55Van Cleve, I'll never know your left.
15:57Hey.
15:58No, no, no.
15:59I found that.
16:00I'm pretty sure it's yours.
16:01Okay.
16:02At least I can do.
16:03Faster, please.
16:24Okay.
16:52This thing's like a spaceship.
16:54Can you take those down, please?
16:56What's the more comfortable for my back?
16:59Well, it's disgusting.
17:01And dangerous.
17:02Only if you're a bad driver.
17:15Oh, my God.
17:19Will you just do me a favor?
17:20There's a phone in my bag.
17:21Will you pull it out and plug it into the console, please?
17:23Yes, Melissa.
17:24Where'd you get this?
17:25I found it in my office.
17:26I think it might be Adam's.
17:27Adam's?
17:28Yeah.
17:29Nikki, just plug it in.
17:30Uh, Cleve, I'm pretty sure this runs on coal.
17:31There's a dongle in the console.
17:32A what now?
17:33A universal charger.
17:34A universal charger.
17:35Come on.
17:36I do love hearing you say dongle.
17:40Hey, Bill, I'm in the car with my sister Nicole.
17:42Howdy.
17:43Oh, well, hello.
17:44Listen, I wanted to follow up on the gentry group of it all.
17:45Oh, great.
17:46Yeah, as I suspected, Adam was having meetings out at JFK on Friday.
17:48I knew that.
17:49And when I asked my younger colleagues about Kew Gardens, they explained that clients like
17:51to experience a bit of local flavor when they come to town.
17:52I see.
17:53I don't know.
17:54I don't know.
17:55I can't hear you say dongle.
17:56Oh, okay.
17:57Hey, Bill, I'm in the car with my sister Nicole.
18:01Howdy.
18:02Oh, well, hello.
18:03Listen, I wanted to follow up on the gentry group of it all.
18:06Oh, great.
18:07Yeah, as I suspected, Adam was having meetings out at JFK on Friday.
18:11I knew that.
18:12When I asked my younger colleagues about Kew Gardens, they explained that clients like to
18:17experience a bit of local flavor when they come to town.
18:20I see.
18:21Anyways, it's a dead end.
18:24I told those stupid detectives who called this morning as much.
18:27Yeah, I mentioned the lifts to them.
18:29Who called?
18:30Oh, they double-teamed me.
18:32Hey, is the smug one a lesbian?
18:34Loud and proud.
18:35Knew it.
18:36And the threats against you, have they followed up?
18:38Doubtful.
18:39But Catherine's guy's looking into it.
18:40Listen, if they're just going to sit around on their lazy asses, I'd be happy to play
18:43the heavy.
18:44No, that's all right, Bill.
18:45All right.
18:46Well, you change your mind.
18:47The offer stands.
18:48Stay safe, you two.
18:49Okay, thank you.
18:50Okay, well, now you know.
18:51Yeah.
18:52Oh, Nikki.
18:53Yeah, okay.
18:54Okay, well, now you know.
18:55Yeah.
18:56Oh, Nikki.
18:57Yeah, okay.
18:59It's...
19:00Looks empty, Chloe.
19:01What do you mean?
19:02There's no calls and no texts.
19:06There's no contacts in the contact book.
19:07I don't think it was used.
19:08What the fuck, Adam, were you doing with an empty burner phone?
19:09If I say dealing drugs, will you get mad?
19:10What the fuck, Adam?
19:11I don't think it was used.
19:12What the fuck, Adam, were you doing with an empty burner phone?
19:17If I say dealing drugs, will you get mad?
19:18Yeah.
19:19Dealing drugs.
19:20Don't say it.
19:21But what is it?
19:22Don't.
19:23Don't.
19:24Maybe housekeeper Anna Luzas.
19:25Maybe she's dealing drugs.
19:26Maybe she's dealing drugs.
19:27Shhh.
19:28Don't.
19:29Shhh.
19:30Shhh.
19:31Shhh.
19:32Shhh.
19:33Shhh.
19:34I don't think it was used.
19:35What the fuck, Adam?
19:36What are you doing with an empty burner phone?
19:37If I say dealing drugs, will you get mad?
19:39Yeah.
19:40Dealing drugs.
19:41Don't say it.
19:42But what is it?
19:43Don't.
19:44Don't say it, but what it is.
19:46Don't.
19:47Maybe it wasn't housekeeper Anna Luzas.
19:50Maybe she's doing drugs.
19:53She seems to have bought it.
20:00The benefit of a grieving widow's distraction.
20:04For now.
20:06So Gentry confirms a meeting with Adam that we don't have in our books.
20:11Adam starts taking lifts out to Queens on his own personal account.
20:16Was he making a play?
20:18To steal Gentry as a client?
20:20Well, he was ambitious.
20:22I fully suspected it. Had been for months.
20:24But Gentry entertains it? Leaving me?
20:28Well, you are sort of an asshole.
20:32An asshole who's been burying their bodies for a long time.
20:36Whatever law firm it is that's trying to poach Adam wanted him to bring Gentry along as a client.
20:43Adam makes a show of what he can do for Gentry in greener pastures.
20:48But Gentry doesn't take kindly to having their intimate details used as a deal sweetener.
20:55So they confirmed the solo meeting with Adam knowing that it would get back to me.
21:02They only had to confirm it because he's dead.
21:05Regardless, Adam has made a mess that needs cleaning up.
21:09And what? Latinos are known for their cleaning skills?
21:13You said it, not me.
21:15Lord knows what else he left lying around that house with him.
21:19Bless his soul.
21:21So you'll head out to the house since you're going that way anyway.
21:24Your secretary told me that you were meeting with the counsel you referred for Ethan.
21:29I'm sure that Chloe really appreciates the support.
21:32And don't wear those trousers around the office anymore.
21:37They're very distracting.
21:39No. Confirmation from Gentry's got him down a different path.
21:46Well, I'm headed out there now.
21:48Can stop by tonight.
21:52Adam's late been observing changing mating rituals of gazelles in the Serengeti.
21:56I've never seen them so frisky, for lack of a better word.
21:59Frisky gazelles? Turn it up.
22:02What effect this extra conjugation will have remains to be seen.
22:07Late nine and a half months to see the effects.
22:10Gazelles don't have the same gestational period as humans.
22:14You do not know the gestational period of gazelles.
22:20I do. Why would I make something like that up?
22:22Why would you ever know that?
22:25I know things.
22:28Okay, boss. I know things. Sure.
22:31Good afternoon. Late on Friday night,
22:33Attorney Adam McIntosh was brutally stabbed to death inside his Long Island home.
22:38Call Michelle Sanders.
22:41I'm sorry. I didn't get that.
22:43Call Michelle Sanders.
22:46Calling Mitchell Sampson.
22:48No, not fucking Mitchell.
22:50I said call Michelle Sanders.
22:53Okay, I'll just dial it for you, okay?
22:55I'm sorry. I didn't find Michelle Sampson.
22:57Would you just fucking call Michelle fucking Sanders? Fuck!
23:18Fuck, but what the fuck is gonna happen today?
23:20Is he gonna go to jail?
23:22No.
23:24Jesus Christ, Nikki.
23:27What if he did it?
23:29What if he did it?
23:30He didn't do it.
23:33Chloe.
23:35You know him.
23:37You know that.
23:39Do I?
23:41Chloe.
23:46He didn't, honey.
23:47He didn't do it.
23:48I said, look at the brothers.
23:51We didn't.
23:52Everything is going to be okay.
23:55How?
23:56How?
23:57We just do the next indicated thing.
24:01How?
24:03What the fuck is that?
24:06Find the person who did it.
24:08Right.
24:09Right? Okay.
24:11Right. Okay.
24:13Right. Okay.
24:14Okay.
24:15Hey.
24:17Hey.
24:19Hey.
24:21Good to see you.
24:23Thank you for meeting me.
24:25Is that all you're gonna thank me for?
24:27And for...
24:29taking the case.
24:31I owed you. You called.
24:33I came.
24:35I walked right into that clusterfuck of my own volition.
24:37Sister wives thing.
24:39That's new for me.
24:41Black people don't do that shit.
24:43How do you mean?
24:45Well, it's not every day a woman marries
24:47her sister's ex-husband.
24:49Oh, yeah. Well.
24:51Sure, there's that.
24:53Yeah. There's that.
24:55But it's the kid I can't get a read on, you know?
24:59It's just not what you'd expect.
25:01Yeah, he's his own person.
25:03Chloe's done a great job with him.
25:05Well, they both...
25:07have. Or did.
25:09Well, assuming the hearing goes as I think it was,
25:11Moms will take him home tonight.
25:15What can he get for you today?
25:17Caesar salad, extra croutons,
25:19and probably fish with steamed vegetables for him.
25:21He's watching this figure.
25:27So, I'm sorry.
25:29So, uh...
25:31Ethan's other mom...
25:33She's in town?
25:39Mm-hmm.
25:40Do you know her?
25:41Uh, no.
25:42They've mentioned Adam's ex a couple times.
25:45She's unstable.
25:47They had a restraining order against her.
25:49Well, they always get cagey.
25:51But whatever happened back then, I didn't, uh...
25:53I didn't press.
25:55Didn't realize you two were that close.
25:58Not at first.
25:59Mm-hmm.
26:00Neither of us ever really fit into the club.
26:03You know, a place like Braddock, you check a box.
26:05I was brown, he was poor.
26:06White enough, but not really white.
26:08Right.
26:09First-gen to go to college.
26:10Both trying to do better than your parents said,
26:12Yeah, I get it.
26:13Big deal.
26:15To get where we are, but, uh...
26:18He never really...
26:20enjoyed it.
26:21Mm.
26:22Not like you.
26:25Heh.
26:26Yeah, right.
26:27Sure.
26:28You didn't have to come all the way out here.
26:30Murray's Cheese Basket would have sufficed.
26:32Oh, no, hey.
26:33I had to come out here anyway.
26:35The deck's being resurfaced.
26:37And, um...
26:40I really appreciate it.
26:47You all right?
26:52I don't know.
26:55Not really.
27:00Sorry.
27:02Hey.
27:04All right.
27:05I'll be right there.
27:22Okay.
27:23Let's go.
27:25No, I'm not going in there.
27:27What?
27:28You got it.
27:29Just don't let them walk all over you.
27:34You know what?
27:35Yeah.
27:36Maybe you should stay in the car.
27:37We don't need you punching any cops today.
27:39Okay.
27:40I'll be back.
27:41I'll be back.
27:53All the incisions are three and a quarter, except the one on the neck.
27:57Looks like the assailant yanked to get the knife out there.
28:00It's a wider gash.
28:01Smooth, very common blade type.
28:04The kind they sell at every corner store.
28:06Right in between the bongs and fate Viagra.
28:11You ever take that stuff?
28:12Horny goat weed?
28:15Here.
28:17What are you talking about?
28:18The city's rotten with this kind of pair of familiar is what I'm saying.
28:21Ample opportunity for the kid to purchase the knife that did this.
28:25And where is it now?
28:26Tosses it.
28:29What?
28:30Say it, Bowen.
28:33The alarm was disarmed 20 minutes before Adam was killed.
28:36Chloe said they never said it.
28:37Most people don't lie to the cops that confidently.
28:39So maybe it wasn't a lie.
28:41Maybe Adam set the alarm.
28:43Right.
28:44Yeah.
28:45And the kid disarmed it.
28:46The kid's not the only one in the house that has the coat.
29:00It's as good as dead.
29:27Remember how I showed you?
29:28Nicole?
29:33I'll do it.
29:38It's the merciful thing.
29:58I told her to keep it clean.
30:20I told her to keep it clean.
30:28It's a beautiful ring.
30:29Probably cost as much as my car.
30:30Incoming widow.
30:31Oh.
30:34I need to speak with you both.
30:35I found this in my apartment.
30:39Just, you know.
30:40Get the metadata.
30:41Uh, this isn't the genius bar, ma'am.
30:43Clearly.
30:45But I thought you said you had tech people.
30:47This may be hard to hear, Miss Taylor, but, uh, we don't work for you.
30:52What about the pornography that I gave you that was sent to my home in Manhattan?
30:55Any progress with that?
30:56Fingerprinted sent by someone with an alibi the night in question.
30:59Yeah.
31:00Hating your politics, not a crime.
31:01But, uh, we'd be happy to help you with a restraining order against her.
31:04Okay.
31:05What about the lift receipts?
31:06Which your husband's boss and client confirmed were trips made in the regular course of business.
31:11Okay.
31:12I hired my own cyber security expert.
31:14Okay.
31:15I did that.
31:16While we appreciate the legwork there, the animosity directed at you coming from your own place of work,
31:21it does not concern our case as of now.
31:24Why the fuck not?
31:34Look, I'm a mother, too.
31:39And I feel for you.
31:40I feel for your son.
31:42But maybe we oughta just head to the hearing.
31:45Starts in about half an hour.
31:55The fuck was that?
31:57That, my friend, was entitlement.
31:59What's with not giving the ring back?
32:01Gives us a reason to pay another visit.
32:04Uh, not sure about that hat.
32:06Nor I that mustache.
32:09Ladies?
32:16Hey.
32:17Hi.
32:21So, Ethan, there's a change of plans.
32:23The hearing got moved up.
32:25Why?
32:26Cases like these, sometimes they just push things through more quickly.
32:30Smaller courthouse, they're just not used to dealing with this kind of attention, you know?
32:35This might be a good thing, though.
32:38Means we can hopefully get you home sooner.
32:41Does my mom know?
32:42Yes.
32:44Here's what's gonna happen.
32:45The prosecutor will talk first.
32:47Then it's me.
32:49It's a pre-trial hearing.
32:50You don't need to say a word.
32:51I'll be next to you the whole time.
32:53All right?
32:55How are you feeling?
32:56I don't know.
32:57I'm scared.
32:58I guess.
32:59That's good.
33:00That's really good.
33:01The judge will want to see that.
33:02We're gonna tell them you loved your dad.
33:03You would never do anything to hurt him.
33:04We're gonna tell them the truth.
33:05We're coming.
33:06It wasn't a mistake.
33:07You're bringing the gun to school.
33:08I was trying to get rid of it.
33:09I was afraid to have it in the house.
33:10Hands behind your back, Ethan.
33:12I'm going to murder you, Ethan.
33:13I was trying to get rid of it.
33:14I'm just afraid to have it in the house.
33:15Hands behind your back, Ethan.
33:16You know what does this?
33:17You want to tell you?
33:18How do you feel like we're doing?
33:19It's not that simple.
33:20I'm not trying to get rid of it.
33:21Why did you feel like you're carrying a gun?
33:22You're not trying to get rid of it.
33:23You were trying to get rid of the gun.
33:24I was trying to take a gun to school.
33:25It wasn't a mistake.
33:27Bringing the gun to school, I was trying to get rid of it.
33:30I was afraid to have it in the house.
33:32Hands behind your back, Ethan.
33:45Oh, wow.
33:49Oh, my God.
33:50Ten points for hitting this asshole.
33:52Get out of the road.
33:54It's his hands.
34:00What do we do?
34:01Keep our heads down.
34:03We don't say a word.
34:04We bring Ethan home.
34:20I don't know how you deal with this.
34:24Yes, it's not a beard.
34:34Uh, Macintosh?
34:35Okay.
34:36Okay.
34:48It's gotta be this way.
34:49Yeah, let's go down here.
34:50Okay.
34:51I'm okay.
35:03What's that?
35:05Yeah.
35:06All rise.
35:30Court is now in session.
35:31The Honorable Judge Edelman residing.
35:33Full courtroom on this humid day.
35:35Sit, sit.
35:42The charge against the defendant, Ethan McIntosh,
35:45is murder in the second degree.
35:48How does your client wish to plead at this time?
35:51My client pleads not guilty, Your Honor.
35:54Mr. Willis, you'd like to set bail out?
35:56Thank you, Your Honor, but given this isn't any ordinary case,
35:59Ethan McIntosh is awaiting trial for the violent murder
36:02of his father, Adam McIntosh.
36:04The Delford County recommends the defendant be remanded without bail.
36:07Your Honor, Ethan McIntosh is no murderer.
36:09He's a sweet, sensitive 17-year-old boy who's just lost his dad.
36:13The defense may go on listing the defendant's positive attributes,
36:16but that doesn't change the evidence against him.
36:19Because not only does he have no alibi for the hour during which Adam McIntosh was murdered,
36:23but his DNA was found underneath Adam McIntosh's fingernails.
36:26It's his son.
36:27And blood was found on Ethan's chute.
36:29It's Ethan's own blood.
36:30Counselor, let's keep it courteous.
36:32Evidence also suggests that Ethan disarmed the security system
36:36before staging a breaking and entering to cover up his crime.
36:39The items he reported stolen were later found in his possession.
36:43The prosecution has shockingly declined to note that the murder weapon was not among them.
36:48Your Honor, the prosecution is clearly trying to force me to preview my case.
36:53Ethan McIntosh is heart-sick and afraid.
36:56Now he is specifically terrified that he's going to bear the consequences of a crime he did not commit.
37:01He is terrified that he is going to be separated from his stepmother,
37:05a highly respected public figure whom he loves deeply,
37:08and who has raised him since he was a little boy.
37:11A woman who has enabled Ethan to have a history of avoiding consequences, if I may.
37:17This is a kid who, when found with a large quantity of marijuana,
37:20had the means to pay off his friend to cover it up.
37:22A kid who, when he brought a gun to school,
37:25had parents who made a donation to make it all go away.
37:28So what's to say this isn't a kid who, after murdering his father,
37:32won't have the means to escape justice?
37:34Ethan McIntosh is innocent, and whatever concerns your Honor might have
37:38are easily addressed with electronic monitoring.
37:40Your Honor, ask yourself, if he had darker skin, where would he be spending the night?
37:52I think you and Miss Sanders know the answer.
38:02Counselor, I agree that the consequences of being held without bail would be severe.
38:08But on the other hand, I don't want a situation where we release the defendant
38:12only to find out that he's charted a private jet to the Swiss Alps.
38:18The defendant is hereby remanded without bail.
38:21And he said he's diret to us hereby, talenteducken.
38:22I...
38:30Baby!
38:31Shut the fuck up!
38:32Shut the fuck up!
38:33I don't know.
38:35Don't let them see you like this.
38:54Get in the car.
39:05Oh my God.
39:12I know this is upsetting.
39:13I'll just say I did it.
39:14Absolutely not.
39:15No, I did.
39:16That will only make Ethan look guiltier.
39:18The detectives have your phone pinging in Ohio the entire night of the murder.
39:22Now look, there's a restaurant down the road.
39:24It has a blue awning.
39:25We're gonna meet there, talk next steps.
39:27Okay?
39:29See you there.
39:32Nightmare.
39:34Hold on, let's go.
39:35Oh my God.
39:38Excuse me?
39:39Are you here please?
39:40How are you just like smiling right now?
39:46Well that's not how I expected the day to go.
39:48Ethan did not kill Adam.
39:51And what happened today doesn't mean he did.
39:53But this is just the beginning of a long and complicated process.
39:59Sometimes these things are delayed or rescheduled once, twice, even three times.
40:03Yeah, but doesn't Ethan have a right to a speedy trial?
40:06County courts drag out setting dates, especially with a brain surgeon like that in charge.
40:12What's up with the tissues?
40:13This is going to help us.
40:15We need this time to come up with alternative theories.
40:18Okay, what about the break-in thing the prosecutor mentioned?
40:21He didn't seem to buy it.
40:22And for good reason.
40:23Here.
40:24You can see the room has been messed up a little bit.
40:29Drawers open, papers on the floor, that sort of thing.
40:31But the window was broken from the outside.
40:34Thanks, Organic Matcha.
40:37Thanks.
40:38But here, you can see the window was broken from the outside after the room was tossed.
40:44So the prosecutor was just starting to make the point that there actually wasn't a robbery.
40:49It was staged.
40:51Whoever killed Adam just wanted to make it look like there was.
40:54Oh, my God.
40:55Oh, my God.
40:56Now, all of that's well and good.
40:57He's got a job to do.
40:59And ours is to prove that person couldn't have been Ethan.
41:04Okay?
41:06So who else has access to that alarm code?
41:10I don't know.
41:11We don't use it.
41:12We don't set it.
41:13Adam clearly did.
41:15And it's not like Ethan didn't know it.
41:17I don't know.
41:20Housekeeper?
41:21Housekeeper.
41:22She knows.
41:23The housekeeper's clear.
41:24Well, when do we get to see him?
41:31During visiting hours.
41:33Ethan's legal guardian can go anytime.
41:36So I, I don't see him.
41:41Just for now.
41:42I know that's not the best news.
41:44No, it's not.
41:45Because that's my son in there.
41:46I know.
41:47But you're gonna do everything in your power to make sure she can see him.
41:50Yes, of course.
41:52Because he needs her.
41:53I understand.
42:01I got a level with you here.
42:03Chloe.
42:04From the outside you look perfect.
42:07Even your good friend Jake on the inside, he buys that.
42:10But every family's got complications, secrets, painful histories.
42:16What led to Ethan living here?
42:19To the restraining order.
42:21Now you may want to keep this stuff in the past.
42:24But whatever's happened between you two, it's very clear you both love that boy.
42:29You want him home?
42:32Tell me everything.
42:34Tell me everything.
42:35Hold it in.
42:37The railing.
42:38Jeez.
42:39Hold it in.
42:40The railing.
42:41Jeez.
42:42Oh, I didn't stay well.
42:43I fell down.
42:44Natural.
42:45That don't faze me.
42:46It's the.
42:47Life I breathe.
42:48And I see.
42:49Don't faze me.
42:50It's the.
42:51Life I breathe.
42:52Geez.
43:22Where are you cleaning supplies?
43:52I just can't.
43:57I'm going for a run.
44:22You could always come with us.
44:33Make it a family affair.
44:35I'd rather stick my face in the blender.
44:37Maybe next time I'll leave Nicole at home.
44:43Nicole, you know, like, she does it on purpose.
44:52She only cares about herself.
44:53You can't tell her.
44:54You can't teach her shit.
44:57She's not right in the head.
45:00She knows better.
45:03Like, she wants you to know she knows.
45:08By being a pain in the ass.
45:11Even when she was a baby.
45:14They come out who they are.
45:16And she does it on purpose to understand the problem.
45:36I don't mind.
45:39Oh, my God.
46:09Oh, my God.
46:39Hey.
46:40Hey.
46:41What are you doing here?
46:42What the hell did you say to Michelle Sanders?
46:45What?
46:46What did you say about us?
46:49About Ethan?
46:50I said that he was a good kid.
46:52I said you were a happy family.
46:54You know, complicated history.
46:56Just nothing she didn't already know.
46:58And the restraining order?
47:01It's public record, Chloe.
47:02She's going to see it if she hasn't already.
47:05What else did she say about us?
47:08Nothing.
47:10Well, you better keep your mouth shut.
47:14All right.
47:15Keep it fucking shut.
47:16I will.
47:17I'm sorry.
47:19I'm sorry.
47:20Can I get a glass of water?
47:33Yeah.
47:34Yeah.
47:35Yeah.
47:36Of course.
47:37All right.
47:38All right.
47:39All right.
47:40All right.
47:41I've missed you.
48:10I've missed you.
48:40I'm sorry.
48:41It was my turn.
48:42I AUDIO date on Sunday.
48:43But it's ugly.
48:44Everybody for over to me.
48:45I hallway.
48:46It was my turn.
48:47It says.
48:50She raised flat.
48:52She raisedшие steps.
48:56She raised
