Dans les bois près de Philadelphie, quatre brillants étudiants en droit terrorisés ne savent que faire d'un cadavre. Ils finissent par se mettre d'accord pour le brûler. Trois mois plus tôt, Michaela, Wes, Laurel, Connor et une soixantaine de condisciples faisaient la rencontre de leur charismatique et intransigeante professeure de criminologie : Annalise Keating. Seuls cinq d'entre eux auront la chance d'intégrer son cabinet. Mais pour travailler à ses côtés, il faut être prêt à tout. Leur première cliente est une femme accusée d'avoir empoisonné son amant avec de l'aspirine, à laquelle il est allergique...
00:30I'm Professor Annalise Keating, and this is Criminal Law 100, or as I prefer to call it, How to Get Away with Murder.
00:46Here we go.
00:48I will not be teaching you how to study the law or theorize about it, but rather how to practice it in a courtroom, like a real lawyer.
00:57Every year I choose four students to come work for me. This assignment is used to help me decide who that is. Now go. Find a defense that will free our client.
01:06Step one, discredit the witnesses.
01:12You should really pay attention. You might learn something.
01:15Are you colorblind?
01:16Yes.
01:18The rest of you step up your game.
01:21Step two, introduce a new suspect.
01:26How'd you get this?
01:27It wasn't exactly legal.
01:32And we just have to get creative.
01:34Step three, we bury the evidence.
01:37You got him to lie on the stand.
01:39I did my job.
01:40Everything after this moment will not only determine your career, but life.
01:46You can spend it in a corporate office, drafting contracts and hitting on chubby paralegals before finally putting a gun in your mouth.
01:52Or you can join my firm and become someone you actually like.
