00:00Previously on The Better Sister.
00:02You don't have to touch me!
00:03You are under arrest for the murder of Adam McIntosh.
00:06They sent me a therapist.
00:08Hey, that's good, right?
00:11Some of these threats are coming from a computer registered, too.
00:14The real thing.
00:16Well, that's my office.
00:17Yeah.
00:18Holding on secrets. Slow poison.
00:21Tell your sister what happened.
00:23Your end.
00:24He got in the bed with me, Chloe.
00:26You're gonna bring this up now?
00:28May I offer you a martini?
00:30Maggie, let's go home, please.
00:32You brought me here.
00:33No, I'm staying.
00:36I said Evans, he's a reporter.
00:38You know, I'm not hiding with my sister.
00:40For my sake.
00:41It's Mason.
00:42You wanna talk about it?
00:43Off the record?
00:51It's her.
00:52I need you to check something out for me.
00:55Before this girl gets herself killed.
01:00You've got me.
01:03You've got me falling down and down.
01:06Down, down, down, down.
01:08You've got me spinning round and round.
01:12Loving good and loving true.
01:16Five pounds of strawberry shortcake for you.
01:18Sorry.
01:21Can I tell you how boring antitrust law is?
01:23Is it as boring as this shift?
01:25Because it is so slow today.
01:30Maybe we need a little...
01:33I have to concentrate.
01:34Of course, of course.
01:35Sorry, sorry.
01:36Time and place.
01:37Yes.
01:38The time might be now.
01:39Uh-huh.
01:44Uh, yeah.
01:45Maybe I should go.
01:46I don't wanna...
01:47I don't wanna get you fired.
01:48What?
01:49Don't you dare.
01:50I love seeing you sitting back here building our future.
01:53Your customers are coming.
01:54Oh.
01:56Blanche.
01:58Hello.
01:59How are you today?
02:00You guys look so great.
02:01We want to sit in your section.
02:03Oh, you better.
02:04Is that your husband?
02:05No flirting, ladies.
02:07He's busy studying.
02:08He's gonna be a big time lawyer.
02:10Are you starting with Cokes or coffee today?
02:35Ah!
02:49Yeah.
02:52Oh!
02:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Yeah, yeah.
02:59Just shut the safe aside.
03:02Oh, my God.
03:32Hi.
03:34Sid's holding the article until closer to the trial.
03:36It'll have more impact.
03:38What's the target date?
03:39That's out of our hands now.
03:42I'm not feeling good about this.
03:44Maybe we should pull it?
03:45Go for a run.
03:49I hope my sister didn't outstay her welcome.
03:52She's certainly got charisma.
03:55Oh, God, I'm afraid to ask what that means.
04:02Nicky?
04:32What's the legal code?
05:02Regarding the Ethan McIntosh, I hereby grant permission to administer the antidepressant.
05:10Proluxetine, effective immediately.
05:25Can smoke in here?
05:26You mean the health department?
05:28Yeah.
05:29Here's my badge.
05:32Bloody Mary.
05:34Triple.
05:45Now I'm seeing things.
05:47No shit.
05:49My sister's schizo.
05:50She sees floating lamps.
05:52My father, dead five years.
05:57My ex-husband just murdered.
05:59Oh.
06:00Oh.
06:01All kinds of lamps.
06:03Maybe she's looking for the light, your sister.
06:08Not the type.
06:10These fucking ghosts, it would be nice if I could get an answer.
06:15If they're gonna just drop in.
06:18I mean, my ex, I don't even know what's there.
06:24With us and my, you know, he was right about me.
06:28I was fucking right about him.
06:30But my dad.
06:31My dad.
06:32My dad.
06:33I would like.
06:34Fuck.
06:35Use me.
06:36That's what I'm here for.
06:37Will you shy all of a sudden, dad?
06:38Hey.
06:39You know the rules.
06:40Do I?
06:41You're loaded.
06:42You don't get him.
06:43Ask.
06:44Just ask.
06:45How do you make peace with all the terrible things you've done?
06:49I don't.
06:50No.
06:51No.
06:52No.
06:53No.
06:54No.
06:55No.
06:56No.
06:57No.
06:58No.
06:59No.
07:00No.
07:01No.
07:02No.
07:03No.
07:04No.
07:05No.
07:06No.
07:07No.
07:08No.
07:09No.
07:10No.
07:11No.
07:12No.
07:13No.
07:14No.
07:15Can you be more specific?
07:20He knows what I mean.
07:22No one talks about it.
07:25Give me something.
07:32He would have died.
07:34For the country.
07:36Oh, no.
07:39Sometimes you gotta fight your way out,
07:41and country disappears.
07:44There's nothing left but you and it.
07:47And it is?
07:48Whatever's between you and the exit.
07:54You forgive yourself.
07:55You act like a man.
07:57Live with what you did.
07:59What if you're a woman?
08:01More so.
08:02You bear the burden of your choices,
08:04and you move on,
08:05because sitting still will kill you.
08:14Can I touch him?
08:16Can I touch him?
08:30Yeah.
08:32That's good.
08:33That's good.
09:02What the fuck?
09:14Fuck, Chloe.
09:17Sorry.
09:18I just saw you from in there,
09:20and thought I would come and say hi.
09:22Oh, hello.
09:25Hi.
09:28Hey, dog, not now.
09:29Come on.
09:36How's Ethan?
09:38Do you know how many times Ethan covered for you?
09:40Yeah.
09:45I guess.
09:46But this was different.
09:49I didn't expect you to lie to the police.
09:53But I did want you to tell the whole truth about my son.
09:57Because he is loyal.
09:59Kind.
10:01Despite the fact that his father came down so hard on him.
10:03Ethan didn't like Adam.
10:06Do you like your dad?
10:07Yeah, sure.
10:08He's all right.
10:09Huh?
10:10That's not what Ethan confided.
10:12Fist fight you got into right in front of him in your kitchen.
10:16It was stupid.
10:17It was about pizza rolls.
10:19Yeah.
10:20Now imagine.
10:22He turns up murdered.
10:26You're fucked up.
10:28How does that look to the rest of the world?
10:32Ethan never said a word to Adam about you dealing drugs.
10:35That plot he found in our house, that was yours.
10:40Maybe you should've.
10:44What do you want?
10:48If the court calls you to the stand, just remember the good things too.
10:52You say anything to my mom about, you know, what I do?
11:05Clean this car.
11:07It's fucking disgusting in here.
11:12Working on those records from those online threats, man.
11:14Those fucking messaging platforms take forever.
11:17Double encrypted end-to-end bullshit.
11:19Think they're the flag bearers of the First Amendment, really?
11:21They're just providing safe haven for pet arrests.
11:23Am I right?
11:24What a world.
11:26Meaning to say,
11:28Puppet stuff's on its way.
11:29Emails associated with all the usernames.
11:31Making posts about Chloe Taylor.
11:32Get it to you as soon as possible.
11:33All right.
11:34Thanks, Dee.
11:35Sooner's better, you know?
11:36Yeah, of course.
11:38What's up with tech?
11:41Uh, Dee's working on the threats to the widow
11:43coming from the office computer.
11:45Cross our T's.
11:46Path of thoroughness.
11:47Listen, when time comes, we're gonna want you on the stand on this name.
11:51Representing us.
11:52Yeah.
11:54Nothing against Bowen.
11:55No, no, he never liked the kid for this anyway.
11:57Heart wouldn't be in it.
11:58Yours is the face that makes sense.
12:00Right.
12:02That is, if you think you can stand the attention.
12:06Uh, I can.
12:07Most definitely.
12:08All right.
12:09That's it.
12:10Keep me posted.
12:23I read this in a favorite book of mine this morning.
12:28It's funny how different lines strike you.
12:34Different times, different ways.
12:38If I begin to feel daunted, I'll go off by myself.
12:42I'm like a cat that way.
12:46Isolating.
12:47It can restore people like us.
12:50But salvation is with each other.
12:52Fuck yeah.
12:54Our brothers.
12:56And lone sister.
13:00Oh.
13:01This is a stag meeting.
13:02I'm just, I'm, I'll go with it.
13:06Before we begin, anyone counting days?
13:08Yes.
13:09Um.
13:10Hours actually.
13:11Does anybody gotta watch?
13:12Maybe 45 minutes.
13:13You wanna share?
13:14I just did.
13:15I'm here.
13:16You were a cat.
13:17Now, welcome back.
13:18Anyone else?
13:19Anyone else?
13:47Excuse me.
13:54You wanna grab a coffee?
13:57I, I, I got things to do.
14:00Wallowing?
14:01Yep.
14:03Using?
14:05Not today.
14:07My kid's trial date got set.
14:09Well, that's a good thing, yeah?
14:12Uh, depends how it goes, I suppose.
14:17How are you here every day?
14:20Like, what do you do for work?
14:22I write books.
14:24Really?
14:25Mm-hmm.
14:26Like, self-publish?
14:28Nope.
14:29Simon & Schuster does that for me.
14:30Do, do you want one?
14:39Wow, yeah.
14:40I could, uh, I could use a good door stop.
14:42Shades off when you're insulting me.
14:47You are on a men's tour today?
14:49Miles away from the steps.
14:54Your advice...
14:56Sucked.
14:57Just so you know.
15:03Smugglers, coach.
15:04I'm excited.
15:05Yes, um, hi, Agent Olivero.
15:09You knew my late husband, Adam McIntosh.
15:11My name is Chloe Taylor.
15:14Would you please return my call?
15:15It's very important.
15:35F**king disgusting.
15:46F**king disgusting.
15:47Wow.
16:14God, put some clothes on.
16:15Wait for a minute.
16:25Why are you ignoring my messages and calls?
16:27Because I don't want to talk to you.
16:28Why?
16:29You told Bill about us.
16:32Oh, so you went through my phone when I left?
16:35I'm not apologizing.
16:36That's not the only thing I saw.
16:38What does Bill want you to find in my house?
16:43Bill wanted me to make sure Adam didn't leave anything out here that he shouldn't have.
16:47Work stuff.
16:48Now, I don't want to bother you about that, so I told him I did it just to get him off our backs.
16:53And, uh, look, the other thing about us.
16:57Yeah, beyond idiotic, pathetic, fucking Bill, of all people, he loves to leverage that shit.
17:04He's got a selective moral compass.
17:06Okay, wait. I told Chuck, not Bill, at the health club one night.
17:10Oh, fuck.
17:12I was drunk.
17:13It was a mistake.
17:14Yeah.
17:15I'm sorry.
17:17What exactly did you tell him?
17:20I...
17:22I told him...
17:26I told him that...
17:28I was in love with you.
17:32I told him I...
17:33I didn't know if you felt the same way.
17:40How can I make this up to you?
17:42Don't.
17:43Stop, stop, stop, stop, please.
17:45Shh, shh, shh.
17:46It's okay.
17:47Just stay away from me.
17:48Stay away from me.
17:52Is that what you want me to do?
17:56You gotta go.
17:57You gotta go.
17:59Uh, thank you so much, uh, for stopping by.
18:01What's going on there?
18:05Nothing. Jake lives down the beach.
18:07No, he's the one that gave us the referral for Sanders.
18:11That's a sick bod.
18:13Hard to pull off that outfit.
18:15Well, it's a wetsuit, not an outfit.
18:21You were out late?
18:23Yeah.
18:24Broke curfew. Sorry, Mom.
18:25Well, I found your dress outside by the door.
18:26You were out late?
18:27Yeah.
18:28Broke curfew. Sorry, Mom.
18:29Well, I found your dress outside by the pool,
18:31and I did your laundry and found this in your jacket.
18:36Okay.
18:38Listen, I agree, okay?
18:39I thought...
18:40I agree.
18:42I think getting Ethan on antidepressants was right.
18:47Just next time when you're making decisions for him,
18:50I want to discuss it.
18:51Okay, yeah.
18:56Of course.
19:03So what happened at Catherine's?
19:06The worst wake I ever went to.
19:08Yeah.
19:15What happened with the drinking?
19:17One phony douchebag after another,
19:20and you parading me around in front of them.
19:24You're right.
19:25I'm sorry.
19:26It was awful.
19:28Yeah.
19:29It's just...
19:31It's scary when you drink.
19:33I just wanted to eat gazpacho with you.
19:50Hey, um...
19:52You want to continue that conversation we started about Dad?
19:56I'm...
19:57Here for it.
20:00I've had enough of Hank today.
20:09Can't bring that in.
20:11They're just treats for my son.
20:12He's only 17.
20:14Food is easy to hide contraband in.
20:16It's not allowed.
20:19Sorry.
20:26Mom.
20:27Hi.
20:28Oh, my God.
20:29I asked Nikki not to say anything.
20:30Oh, my God.
20:31I'm fine.
20:32I'm fine.
20:33Really?
20:35Okay.
20:37All right.
20:39I'm so sorry I had...
20:40Thanks for you.
20:41I had, um, food, and...
20:43I'm fine.
20:44I'm fine.
20:45Really?
20:47Okay.
20:49All right.
20:51I'm so sorry I had things for you.
20:54I had, um, food, and...
20:56They wouldn't let me bring it in.
20:57I even had the dumpling soup that you love.
20:59That cheap one.
21:04When I get out of here...
21:06We can eat canned dumpling soup together.
21:10Okay.
21:14Have you been exercising?
21:17Do I look good?
21:18Yes.
21:25I know you're on medication, and...
21:30I just want to say I'm sorry I didn't help you with that sooner.
21:39How does it make you feel?
21:45Comfortable in my skin.
21:46I really miss you.
21:53I miss you, too.
21:55And everything just...
21:57sucks without you.
22:03It's been good seeing Nikki.
22:05Yeah.
22:07But it's been...
22:08nice to get to know her.
22:10Baby, what is it?
22:14It actually hasn't been that long since I talked to her.
22:20What do you mean?
22:22We text.
22:24And talk on the phone sometimes.
22:26She gave me a flip phone.
22:28Like, five years ago at Grandpa's funeral.
22:31But we didn't actually start, you know, um, talking until recently.
22:36Um, you know I found that secret phone in my office.
22:50That Michelle said.
22:53Just evidence now.
22:55Is there anything in there?
22:57That I should know?
22:58Anything...
23:00incriminating?
23:02Not about me.
23:05Kevin's the only other person who had the number.
23:09Oh.
23:13How's it been with Nikki?
23:15She's...
23:17just come a long way, right?
23:19With her drinking and stuff.
23:22I just can't wait for you to come home.
23:27I love how he sleeps with his little butt in the air.
23:40Are you okay?
23:42You know, I've always wanted a pool, and I just feel like the blue of this pool is so weird. Right?
23:47You know, all your art stuff is in the basement. I just saw it.
23:55Why don't you bring it out here? Keep your hands busy.
23:59Yeah.
24:01Yeah, you're right. Let's fuck these fucking hormones.
24:05You gonna be able to take care of our son today?
24:08Of course.
24:09Bye.
24:22It's worse.
24:24Like she can't get out of it.
24:26Clay, I can't keep track of the lies anymore.
24:29Yeah, maybe.
24:31I don't know if I can trust her around him.
24:40You scared me.
24:46You even told me about the phone you gave him.
24:48At dad's funeral.
24:50Then you sat...
24:53in my car, lying.
24:55Pretending you don't know whose it is.
24:58Letting me believe that it might be Adam's.
25:01I was protecting him.
25:03Let's stop.
25:04Then you tell me this dad story, right?
25:06As we're trying to leave to attend a memorial for our murdered husband.
25:11And it's...
25:13It's bewildering to you.
25:15That I can't address it.
25:17You said it didn't happen.
25:20It did.
25:22You are trying to shit on every little bit of good that I got from our family.
25:26I told you.
25:28Because I'm tired of carrying it alone.
25:31You taught Ethan a lie to me.
25:34And out of all the damage that you have done...
25:36Our lives are a lie.
25:39Your life is a lie!
25:42What did Ethan tell you?
25:49Look, um...
25:53You're right.
25:54You're right.
25:57I'm sorry.
25:59I am...
26:00Truly sorry...
26:02For everything.
26:04Really.
26:07Yeah, well...
26:09It's not like your apology just...
26:11Ends it.
26:13Because one trespass...
26:15Leads to another.
26:17Leads to another.
26:18And you're just nothing...
26:20Without this constant drama.
26:21Just a...
26:24Fucking empty hole.
26:29You're so mean sometimes, you know?
26:37I'm gonna head to the city for a while.
26:40Until I can visit him again.
26:42How was he?
26:44I mean besides all the fucking bruises on his face.
26:48He asked me not...
26:50To worry you...
26:52You love this control.
26:55Then maybe you should just...
26:57Try to act halfway clean next time you see him.
27:00Try to hide the fact that we fucking hate each other.
27:03Two sisters diverged in the woods.
27:05The pariah they erased from their family history...
27:08Now has sole access to that son.
27:10It's the luckiest break...
27:12This broken woman has ever had.
27:14Time alone...
27:16With her sweet boy...
27:18While he's in the joint.
27:20You like the kid.
27:22Yeah.
27:24He's the only mature one in that family, that's for sure.
27:26Yeah.
27:28Chloe's tech detective keeps calling.
27:30Why?
27:31She's following up on the threats from her office.
27:33So...
27:34An employee or two hates her.
27:36Doesn't mean that they killed her husband.
27:38And not to mention, none of it's admissible in court.
27:40Right.
27:42Okay, so...
27:44Subpoenas are in process.
27:46All the communications from the accounts found on Ethan McIntosh's computer.
27:49And what about the burner phone?
27:50Irrelevant.
27:51Wasn't the defendant's.
27:53Adam McIntosh's work files.
27:54The boss, Braddock.
27:55He got cagey when we asked him about the case that Adam had been working on.
27:58The gentry group...
27:59Why would we undermine our case by looking like we were searching for additional suspects?
28:04The strength of our case relies upon there being no other suspect with as much supportive evidence.
28:10Any evidence that might introduce another potential suspect would be the reasonable doubt a jury needs to acquit.
28:17So why would we, we, the prosecution, go looking for that?
28:24Dom, that kind of dramatic effect probably works in trial, but present sounds like you're reading slam poetry to slow kids.
28:33You cops are so thin-skinned.
28:40Don't let him get to you.
28:42That little kerchief in his pocket invalidates anything he might say as far as I'm concerned.
28:48Listen to me.
28:49His job is to speak in technicalities.
28:51Yours is to find anything that goes in either column.
28:54We still got a few weeks left till trial.
28:56I know you don't love the kid for this, and while I may disagree, it either is or isn't him.
29:03Is that Yogi Berra?
29:04Oh, Google alert for Chloe Taylor. Tides have turned.
29:13This is your problem, keeping tabs on there, not in the real world.
29:17Say what you're saying.
29:18Look, go up there in the cloud and get the messages off the burner phone yourself.
29:24Go into town, make trouble at the husband's office, rattle the boss's cage, be proactive.
29:29Okay? As long as it doesn't take you too far astray, be thorough, follow the path as far as it goes.
29:36You're a good detective.
29:38Thank you, Nan.
29:39Shut the fuck up.
29:40The meat stood in its own liquor. A near beige in tone. A healthy oyster at least.
29:50He had learned early how to tell if one went bad. Its flesh would be weathered, cloudy.
29:56Brown, gray, or black meant contamination. Pink, once in a while. Red, if it was really gone.
30:03He always had a hard time throwing the red ones out. It felt odd that the sickest ones were the brightest hue, the most vital.
30:13The ones that seemed closest to life were nearest to death, but there was no helping it.
30:19They never came back from red. He tossed them and went back searching for the fleshy beige that meant there was life.
30:27Jury selection is complete in the case of Ethan McIntosh, with the trial set to begin in two weeks.
30:36The New York City teenager who's been charged in his father's murder, in what some have dubbed the Hamptons homicide, has benefited from a speedy process all around.
30:44Here today to provide analysis is Michael Bochner.
30:46Michael Bochner.
30:57This is Chloe Taylor.
30:59This is Agent Olivero, returning your call. You wanna talk?
31:03Yes, I want you to be comfortable. We just have different definitions of what that means.
31:09Three fans in one bedroom is excessive, that's all.
31:12Your body is in revolt.
31:16Please take some of that primrose oil that I bought.
31:21Hey, detective.
31:23Uh, honey, let me call you right back. Yeah, I will.
31:28Time for a change at the house, huh?
31:31Is that your wife?
31:33Perimenopause. Tried to prepare her for it, but she wasn't having it, blaming hot flashes on global warming.
31:38But you know how that is.
31:41I really don't.
31:43Well, there's nothing to have shame about, natural order of things.
31:46I'm doing fine, but they sell lube at the checkout.
31:49Is your sister here?
31:51You know damn well she's in Manhattan.
31:53Your partner's all over it. He's got a real hard on for her.
31:56What a crazy turn, right?
31:58Going from beloved do-gooder to the world knowing you stole your sister's life?
32:01Raised a monster, living in luxury.
32:05And you out there working two shitty jobs just to pay rent on a Shaker Heights adjacent apartment.
32:10Where are you getting this from?
32:12My partner and his Google Alerts.
32:14Yeah. Not a lot of sympathy left out there for your sister though.
32:18No matter how many Latin checkout girls she pretends to care about. Here.
32:22Oh no, I got...
32:24You came off looking good though, the wronged mother.
32:28You think you were the one with the publicist.
32:31Alright, thank you Cagney and Lacey.
32:34I'm sure your wife's sweating her menopausal balls off.
32:38Oh yeah, it's been hot at night, I'll give her that. No relief.
32:42You're living out there though, by the water, central AC, the works.
32:46Who could have predicted that?
32:48See you in a couple of weeks. Oh, by the way, Cagney and Lacey, that's a compliment.
32:54It's going to look great in there.
32:58To what?
33:11Ms. Taylor, I'm Special Agent Edward Olivero. This is Special Agent Troy Younger.
33:15Hello.
33:17Let the lady sit, please.
33:24Not a lot of room in here.
33:27This one, it's breaking my balls all day about my waistline.
33:33So, um, my husband.
33:35Our condolences.
33:36Thank you, thank you.
33:38Um, he told me he was working with you before he died.
33:42You know it's coming.
33:45We can't confirm or deny that.
33:47But I can confirm that he is dead because of it.
33:50Because of his work with you.
33:53Have you talked to the detectives working this case about this theory?
33:57No.
33:58Because there's not much we can do for you.
33:59Well, I talked to the people that I know at the law firm.
34:01Lawyers close ranks.
34:03But our door is always open to you.
34:05So we can have another elliptical conversation?
34:07That's the condition of our position.
34:14Do you want a cup of coffee?
34:16My son is good.
34:19And he will die in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
34:25He didn't do this.
34:29He didn't do this.
34:30I'll walk you out.
34:41Miss Taylor, wait.
34:44Off the record?
34:46Yes.
34:48Get into his office files and ping me if you find something.
34:51We need intel on the gentry group.
34:53They'll never let me do that.
34:54Don't ask.
34:55You're his wife.
34:56His property is yours now.
34:57So this is definitely part of what happens at home.
35:00If you can get me something concrete, firm,
35:04I can give you something real.
35:07What'll I get?
35:11You mentioned this conversation,
35:13particularly to anyone involved in your son's case.
35:17Prison time.
35:19Other than that, let me know what you want.
35:22Come on.
35:39Mmm.
35:53I feel so betrayed.
35:54Like, how could she leave all this out?
35:56Right?
35:57She mentions her mother in her Congress testimony,
35:59but never a sister!
36:00Exactly!
36:01Not a word!
36:02She invented this whole other life.
36:05The real thing!
36:06Give me a break!
36:07I know, right?
36:08Like, what truth are we supposed to believe?
36:10This is triggering for you.
36:11It is!
36:12She was on my vision board.
36:13I feel for her.
36:14It's awful.
36:15But you know karma.
36:16She always comes back.
36:18Good episode title.
36:19Dipshits.
36:20Uh, I came for the Tupperware.
36:33It's Nicky, Chloe's sister.
36:36My daughter says hello.
36:37Oh, hey, hey Janie.
36:39You got your dog?
36:40I'm gonna put it in the cab.
36:41You said one night and a week later,
36:42fucking Franzen is still here.
36:44They may have thrown your Tupperware out.
36:47The dog's name's Franzen?
36:48Who cares?
36:50Seems like more of a buck to me.
36:52Want a cappuccino?
36:53This machine does everything.
36:54Uh, no.
36:55I'm okay.
36:56Good.
36:57Because I don't know how it works.
36:58Dina, please the dog.
37:00It stinks.
37:07Sit.
37:08I'm the only one allowed to flutter in place.
37:12Um, about your party.
37:13I just...
37:14You think I never felt a waiter at a wake?
37:18I invented that move.
37:20Still, I apologize.
37:21Unnecessary.
37:23Oh, but do stay away from my daughter.
37:25She likes nothing more than an unavailable, hot mess of a straight woman.
37:31Who said I'm unavailable?
37:33Look, she just wanted to buy my jewelry.
37:35Not even Etsy.
37:38I'll buy some.
37:40Yeah.
37:43If you like it, great.
37:48Look, I don't...
37:49I don't...
37:50really trust you.
37:52But I think you love Chloe.
37:54You don't like women very much, do you?
37:56Excuse me?
37:57Oh, you white girls and your mama issues.
38:00Your mother send you out into the world just thinking about men.
38:03So you fuck each other over just to get one.
38:06Thank God we don't do that shit.
38:08We don't have the luxury.
38:09We stick together.
38:12We talking about white women right now or black women or...
38:14You are sitting in my kitchen, so yes, we are talking about black women.
38:19Well, just so you know, I don't see color.
38:23You're fucking with me.
38:26And I only hate some women.
38:28Well, while you're hating on each other,
38:31man's world that we live in just keeps on spinning.
38:34You selfish bitches just won't share with each other.
38:38And all the while the men, those fuckers, they're moving the ball down the field together.
38:41They work together.
38:43So, do you want to grow up?
38:46Play together?
38:48Get some shit done?
38:49Like a black woman?
38:50Like a motherfucking king.
38:54It's bad.
38:55The press, we gotta do something to make Chloe look better.
39:03I'll handle the optics.
39:10Anything else?
39:14Yeah, you ever get lonely in a house this big?
39:16Stop it.
39:19Never.
39:35Hey, Nikki.
39:37I'm coming back to the house, so just clean up whatever mess you made before I get there.
39:43Um, what about Sculpture Garden at MoMA and then Dinner at the Carlisle?
39:52My sister and I went to Carnegie Daly on her 21st birthday trip.
39:56I have seen that picture.
39:58Very big sandwiches.
39:59We could split one, huh?
40:01Sure.
40:03But don't you want to see a show?
40:04I could get some really good seats through the magazine.
40:08Great sorrow of my life.
40:11Losing my sister.
40:13I know.
40:19I want you to know that I'm quite proud of you.
40:23And all that you've done here.
40:25Thanks, Mom.
40:28What of you?
40:30Yeah, you want to go sit outside?
40:33No.
40:35But you know what would really make me proud?
40:38Is if you made up with your sister.
40:42Yeah, it's not really that simple.
40:45I know. I know.
40:46But make it happen.
40:50You did all this.
40:51You can do that.
40:53For me.
40:54For me.
41:06Really, Hank?
41:08You got nothing for me, huh?
41:10I thought you'd have all kinds of tips and tricks
41:15for getting bloodstains out.
41:19Maybe a human's different than...
41:24Fish or rabbit?
41:50Hello?
41:51Hi.
41:54I-I got your number off the stag sign-in sheet.
41:57I-I'm listening to your book.
42:00Oh, yeah? Which one?
42:03I don't know.
42:05Uh...
42:07I just like the sound of your voice.
42:09I-I like what you said about...
42:11red oysters.
42:13What are you doing?
42:15Sprucing up a bit.
42:17For my sister.
42:18What does it look like?
42:20Where you write?
42:22Uh, well, there...
42:24are lots of books.
42:26Lots of windows.
42:28You doing okay?
42:30I need a favor, if you've got a minute.
42:33Yeah. I'm right here.
42:39Would you pray with me?
42:40Huh?
42:42Sure.
42:44I'm on my knees.
42:46You're on your way to standing up.
42:48I'm on your way to standing up.
43:18Oh, hey.
43:19Hey.
43:20I moved out here.
43:21Oh, hey.
43:22Hey.
43:24I moved out here.
43:31Give us... space.
43:33Yeah.
43:35Oh, hey.
43:37Hey.
43:39I moved out here.
43:41Give us... space.
43:44I'm gonna go.
43:46Oh, hey.
43:48Hey.
43:49Give us space.
43:53You've been busy.
44:01Your hair looks really good.
44:06Yeah.
44:09Yours too.
44:13So, um...
44:17What are we wearing to this thing?
44:19All right, um...
44:24Try this one.
44:31That's the back?
44:32This is like a little baby bib.
44:35No, it's beautiful.
44:38Um...
44:39Okay, just so you know, I might have some information
44:43about what Adam was involved in.
44:45Some good he was trying to do,
44:48that pissed off some really bad people.
44:52Did you give Sanders this vague update?
44:55I can't really be specific, okay?
44:58It's very serious,
45:00and I can get in a lot of trouble.
45:02Okay, we're picking outfits to wear to our son's murder trial, Chloe.
45:06All right, there are other parties with other interests involved, okay?
45:18Uh-huh. Okay.
45:19And they think I might have access to something that they may have use of.
45:27Maybe something that might have made Adam a target.
45:31And what do these other people with other interests maybe want you to do about it?
45:38Get it for them.
45:40Okay.
45:41Whatever deep-throat garage you meet these fuckers in,
45:48you tell them they don't get shit unless they publicly state that whatever Adam was into
45:56could have led to this.
45:59that there are other people with legitimate reasons for wanting him dead.
46:02Good.
46:03Okay.
46:04So you just keep him busy too?
46:10Yeah.
46:11Ooh.
46:12Wow.
46:13Oh, you look good.
46:14Because I look like you.
46:27Fuck.
46:48Fuck.
46:50According to our sources, Nicole McIntosh drank and popped pills and was dangerously neglectful
46:59to young Ethan, leading one day to his near drowning.
47:04Chloe Taylor didn't steal her husband and son from her sister.
47:07She saved them.
47:11Yeah.
47:24Nicole, have you tried to ground your own kid?
47:27What happened then?
47:28Nicole, what kind of drugs were you on?
47:30Wait.
47:31What's going on?
47:32Are you still using?
47:33Fuck off.
47:34Ethan stabs his father to death because you're a terrible mother.
47:37What do you have to say about that?
47:38Move back.
47:39Keep walking.
47:40Just keep walking.
47:41Leave us alone.
47:42Did you tell them all that?
47:44Stop moving.
47:45What did you do?
47:46Fire it up.
48:11The diferença was what sounds like.
48:12The Flash is a big anniversary.
48:13It
48:26does freak out.
48:28No半.
48:29All rise.
48:32All rise!
48:40When Ethan was a little guy, he used to like to help me shovel snow from the front of the building.
48:45He liked to sprinkle salt on the sidewalk, make sure no one slipped.
48:50He loved watching you chew through the ice, you know.
48:55And not for nothing, his mom is one of the best.
49:00You know, she takes care of us. Not just at Christmas time, either.
49:05Coffee and the like. She listens. Remembers names. She's good people.
49:11Ethan's cool, you know. Not like the other kids from the city.
49:16Doesn't care how big your house is or what kind of car you drive.
49:21Dude's even got a night costume under his bed.
49:25Like one he takes really good care of.
49:28Dude even polishes it.
49:33Yeah. He's real cool. And he's my brother.
49:39When we went to Kevin Dunham's house to deliver the news, Ethan McIntosh acted as if the information wasn't new to him.
49:46Fifteen years plus on the job, that type reaction. I was a first.
49:52Like he wasn't surprised. Like he knew it was coming. Like he thought about it before.
50:01I've been the headmistress at Kasdan High School for 20 years.
50:06Ethan's father wanted to transfer him to military school after junior year.
50:11And Adam discussed this with me and I told Ethan about it.
50:15I thought it might get him to comprehend the gravity of his situation.
50:20What did Ethan say when you told him about his father's plan for military school?
50:25He said, he can't do that to me. I'll find a way to stop him.
50:35These last weeks, the defense has tried to paint Ethan McIntosh as a good kid, while the prosecution has aimed to shed light on his oftentimes threatening relationship with his father.
50:49As he takes the stand for cross-examination today, everyone is wondering what the young man might say.
50:54Just came in from tech. Took her long enough. Gotta get it to Don Willis.
51:00You sure about this, Nan? You're the one who always says what happens up there online isn't real.
51:04Well, this sure is.
51:06Would you say the circumstances around your moving to New York and Chloe becoming your mother were traumatic?
51:11I was two.
51:13What was the story you were told?
51:18My mom always said that my biological mother had issues and that she needed to deal with them.
51:23And she couldn't be the mother I needed. Everything happens for a reason.
51:29Was this reinforced, this version of events?
51:32We didn't talk about my other mom.
51:35So it wasn't mentioned ever? Forbidden, even?
51:38Like, without saying it was.
51:41Keeping secrets and leading double lives. This is what your family is about.
51:46Objection, Your Honor. Overruled. Go on, please.
51:50We see it in ghettos. What some refer to as underserved communities. Mostly black, brown. The corrosive impact of neglect. The link between early trauma and propensity for violence later in life.
52:04Objection, Your Honor. Spare us the irrelevant cultural observations. Overruled. But, uh, let's wind it down, counselor.
52:11We're used to drawing these parallels in low-income communities. But it's also true for wealthy white kids. Human. No matter how much money your folks have.
52:23They broke you early and they broke you good, didn't they?
52:27Oh, this fucking asshole. Quiet in the courtroom, please.
52:30Where the fuck is he going with us? Unfortunately, many of these things were beyond your control. And yet, here we are living with the results.
52:42We talked about how Chloe was a busy and committed public figure. We also talked about Chloe's public role. How it led to threats against her on various platforms.
52:50Now, some of these threats were coming from a computer that was registered to The Real Thing magazine. We know this.
52:55But what we have yet to talk about was that that computer was stored in Chloe Taylor's home and used by Ethan.
53:02And one of the most avid posters on those sites, someone by the name of Kurt Lomain, that account was linked to your email, Ethan.
53:11It was you, wasn't it? Reading posts that were threatening rape. Rape. Against your mother. Death threats. Threats you read from users with whom you engaged.
53:23But some of these posts were actually about your father. In one exchange, Kurt Lomain posts...
53:27Objection. The counselor is testifying.
53:35Ethan, would you mind reading this for me, starting with the username?
53:41Kurt Lomain.
53:46Kurt Lomain.
53:48She'd be better off if he were dead.
53:51Chad 69.
53:53You want her older yourself, Kurt?
53:56Kurt Lomain.
53:58Off him?
54:00I'd do it.
54:01Look at that face, you know he deserves it.
54:04Ethan, did you make these comments?
54:06Yes.
54:07Why?
54:08Because it's how I felt.
54:09How did you feel?
54:10Look, there were times I wanted him gone.
54:27One of them gone.
54:57It was true.
54:58Oh my horse.
54:59Once I was just walking.
55:00I heard the people say.
55:01Oh my gosh, gots me eat.
55:02Yes.
55:04See you in it.
55:05You get the poles in that place where you can't find the places in the place.
55:06You.
55:07Yes I am.
55:08Iotta them away from Thomas.
55:09You don't go.
55:10Alright.
55:11Alright.
55:12Thanks, well.
55:13You don't have to.
55:16Hey,self.
55:17Hey.
55:18Much more than you.
55:19From all of them
55:20You have the long pass positions.
55:23Yes I throw.
