One of my other friend...

Made me a lovely batch of soup.

Seriously, did you just come

over here to guilt trip me?

No.

No Cate, I came here to enable you.

Okay.

Both Dorrie and Rusty are

still guests of the states.

Dorrie won't talk or

doesn't want to talk.

But Rusty is willing.

For a small fee.

Rusty's still in jail?

Yes, he is.

Apparently he and the DA

are no longer sweethearts.

Lacey and Dorrie

don't agree on much.

But they both said that you

drove them to the condo.

Yeah.

I dropped them off.

Lacey said when she came out and

told you what was going on...

That you ran inside

to take care of it.

Lacey's a liar.

Is it a lie that you raped

her on your second date?

Is it a lie that you raped

her on your second date?

What can I say?

The b*tch liked it rough.

Did Jen Cole like it rough too, when you

sodomized her in the back of your van?

No.

That was a pity f***.

So what happened to the deal

that you cut with the DA?

I don't know.

- Ask them.

- I did ask them...

They said they yanked your deal because

you lied under oath at Lacey's trial.

About a list of questions that she

slipped you when you're both in county.

Questions that you were good

enough to answer in writing.

Question, if I cover up that

you helped Dorrie killed Jen...

Do you promise to love forever

and never beat my face again?

Your written answer, I promise.

She changed the question.

That's what you said under oath,

but the DA knew it wasn't true...

Because their own expert found that the

handwriting were yours and Lacey's.

With no changes or alterations.

I don't care what the expert

said, Lacey's a liar.

She's a liar?

Are we done here?

Yeah, we're done.

Guard!

And the problem is, I can't get the discovery

I need to prove we deserve a hearing...

Until after the judge grants one.

What's "discovery"?

Witness statements...

Police reports,

evidence, interviews.

So if they found an earring in

Jen's condo with blood on it...

They have to give it to you?

The cops found an earring

with Jen's blood on it?

Was it yours?

No, it was Rusty's.

They kept it out of evidence.

My lawyer said it wouldn't helped me anyway

cause Rusty told them the earring was mine.

Which never made sense to me, cause if the

cops really thought they had my earring...

Which includes blood on it...

Why didn't they use it against me?

That's a good question.

So, we got witness tampering...

Suggest... You have to prove it.

- Perjury testimony.

- That's your best shot.

And the fact that

the DA knew that...

Half of Rusty's

testimony was malarkey.

They didn't even bother to go

back and inform the court.

That's not nothing.

Let's just hope that this judge...
