Last night, commotion erupted during a celebration
for Senator-elect Mary Ferguson after her landslide win.
It happened as one of the campaign staff members
was escorted from the party in handcuffs.
The woman in question, Dory Sief,
and her boyfriend, Drew Gardner...
-Oh, my God, what? -...are expected to be charged
with the murder of Keith Powell,
a private investigator and loving father.
If you're wondering why the suspect, Dory Sief,
is smiling in her mug shot, you're not alone.
It's like, why are you smiling like that unless you did it?
She just looks snotty.
Man: I just know. I can tell.
[ Groaning ] She didn't do it. She couldn't have.
I'm a doctor, and people with freckles
are pretty tame and sensitive.
What does this mean for me?

Oh, my God. -[ Laughs ]
Shh, shh, shh!
What are you guys watching?
-Nothing. -Nothing.
Steph: Put it away. Put it away.
You guys, I just heard my name.
Gloria: Okay, we're not, like, obsessed with you.
We just got a Google alert about the play...
-Oh, yeah? -...and this came up,
and I guess you're, like, a killer?
What? Let me see that.
Um, so, it's been brought to my attention
that at a clique of friends in their late 20s
murdered private investigator Keith Powell
in Montreal, Canada.
To my understanding, Dory Sief and her boyfriend, Drew --
and, I'm sorry, I don't have a last name -- murdered the man
and enlisted the assistance of their dear friends Elliot --
also don't have a last name there --
and Portia Davenport to bury the body in the woods.
Oh, my God. Who did this?
Apparently, there maybe have been some sexual foreplay... Who did this? How did this happen?

What did you just say?
What? Nothing.
Just that it's weird that she's only
the second female director -- -That's not what you said.
You said it was insane!
You think that's insane?!
No, no. I'm sorry.

They didn't travel well, so let's eat them now.
Elijah: Oh, waffles!
You're the best, Meg!
You're my best friend!
Oh, my God.
Meg. It's you.
Elijah, you told?
What? I just woke up.
I asked you if you told anybody, and you said you didn't.
I said I told nobody.
And Meg is nobody.
I tell Meg everything. She doesn't matter.
She's just a receptacle.
Portia, Elijah's right.
I -- I -- I'm no one.
I'm pure trash.
I'm -- I'm -- I'm -- I'm a big loser.
I felt like I had to do the right thing.
I'm so sorry. -I trusted you.
Meg, why did you have to say
we did weird sex stuff to the body?!
You told me they did weird sex stuff to the body!
You said you did weird sex stuff to the body.
I would never do weird sex stuff to a body!
I feel certain you said that!
And where are you going?!
Oh, my goodness, I'm sorry.
Elliott: Portia!
What?!
-Get in! -What?
Okay.
Elliot, whose van is this? -It's mine.
I use it to transport all my water bottles,

Thank God that weekend's over, huh?
Excuse me, everyone.
I am sorry to interrupt your important work.
I see there's a cake on my desk.
I think I made it clear to everybody at this office
that I-I don't like gifts or surprises or attention
that I didn't professionally earn.
So, if it isn't removed in the next hour,
it's going in the trash.
All right?
Hey. Sorry about that.
It's from that sweet old lady who does the billing for us.
Ugh, she would.
Happy birthday, by the way.
Why?
I don't know. I don't know.
My point.
Anyway, look at these jackasses.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah. -Huh, see?
It's everything I hate about young people --
rich, beautiful, corrupt.
What do they call them, millellials?
Millennials.
This could be good for us, though, right?
You know. -How do you mean?
It's a good angle.
Good angle -- people love to hate them.
It's like a national obsession. -I don't know.
I don't think people really care about millennials anymore.
I feel like that kind of talk has died down, actually.
Oh, really? Oh, really?
Don't tell me about the world, Garrett.
If I wanted that, I would've hired a travel agent.
Just go out there.
Tell everybody I'm gonna make a statement to the press.
There's already so much on this already.
It's just...
We can get ahead of it, though.
Yeah, we can. That's right.
Put my face out there. -Sure.
Let them know what they're up against.
Copy that.
Okay.
Guilty, guilty, guilty little frogs.
Hi!
No, you have to pick up the phone, Gail.
The phone.
Yeah. Hi. -Hi.
Dory, look at you in that cute prison jumpsuit.
I can't believe this is so real! -I know.
Thank you so much for coming, Gail.
-Of course. -Yeah, it means a lot to me.
Okay, so, as you know, I don't have any money
because Sundeep turned the banks against me,
but I figured something out because I'm a genius.
My friends Tim and Margie said they'll bail you out.
Wow, amazing! Oh, my God.
Wow, that -- that's so generous.
There is one catch, though.
It's a good catch. -Okay.
They said they'll only put up the money
if you hire their daughter Cassidy to represent you,
which is a great thing, right,
because now you'll get a free lawyer out of the whole deal.
Well, I don't know. Like, isn't --
Isn't that illegal?
Is it?
Why would she want to be my lawyer for free anyways?
Dory, are you kidding me?
You're famous.
What? Why?
Why? Um, only because your arrest
was the most epic, fabulous public arrest ever.
Dory, this is your destiny.
Wait, Elliott, I'm so confused.
Is this, like, your house? -No, no, no.
It's a timeshare that belongs to this older man
who I used to let spoon me for Broadway box seats,
and then ironically he fell out of one of the box seats,
and he's been in a coma for over a year,
so he definitely won't be here.
Oh, my gosh, it's so pretty!
Yeah, we love it.
Cassidy: Mommy, stop.
No, Mommy, I like it.
Oh, my God, Mom, Mom, she's coming.
I'm hanging up. Hanging up.
Dory Sief, Cassidy Diamond,
and it's an honor to call myself your lawyer.
Hi. It's so nice to meet you.
Thanks for getting me out of here.
Yeah, wow. That's an incredible handshake.
It's firm.
Uh, I'm sorry, but how old are you?
30 and single.
Oh. Okay, so, how do we start?
Well, the trees have ears, so we don't talk here.
So, I rented us this luxury SUV.
Figured you wanted a touch of glamour after a hard night.
Oh, that's nice.
Do you do that for all your clients?
I plan to. You're my first case.
Your first case?
I know, so exciting.
Congratulations.
Ugh, I feel like it's such a blessing to be born blonde,
and now I just look like an evil brunette.
Well, that's exactly what we want.
Nobody can recognize us.
Oh, good, you're the babysitters?
Yeah.
Well, they were smart to hire two,
because I think the last one was complaining
about how messy they were.
I'm sure they're lovely.
Well, look.
They're gonna be here in, like, two seconds,
and Dickie doesn't like it when I drink around the kids,
so if you could just take them jet skiing,
uh, build a little...
snowman... -Absolutely.
We'll figure something out. -We will.
We were just thinking about hunting for hermit crabs.
Ew.
Okay, well, clean up the tar when you're gone.
You got it.
Oh!
Oh, my God.
Cassidy: Five-star sushi for a five-star client.
I just want to let you know, like, where my head's at.
I took a look at the evidence.
It does not look good.
Mm.
I can explain what happened -- -No, no, no, no.
Okay? That's not why I said that.
All right?
The less you tell me now, the better ground
we're on when we're building our defense, okay?
'Cause I can't, like, un-know whatever you tell me, right?
-Right. -Okay, so, let's talk options.
Option number one -- plea deal.
Okay, so how does that work?
You plead guilty, get a lighter sentence.
It's easy, it's fun, you skip the court part,
you just sign this paper admitting to taking
full responsibility for killing Keith.
No, no, I'm not signing anything --
No, no, no, no!
Option two -- self-defense.
This is a very attractive option in my personal opinion.
It's sexy.
Keith attacked you and your boyfriend, right?
Did you know he put a tracking device on your phone?
Yeah. That's how he found you guys in Montreal.
He was a total creep.
So you had to defend yourself, right?
I believe it, and so will a jury.
But...
I'm kind of feeling option number three --
pleading insanity.
Insanity?
Mental illness is a real thing
that everyone has or wishes they had.
If you've ever been under, like, a large amount of stress
or heard voices or had an imaginary friend,
it's a totally viable argument...

We all know he didn't do it.
We know he's absolutely innocent, right, Drew?
-Drew! -Oh, my God!
He did it! -No, stop! Stop!
He's just in shock, understandably.
You asked him if he was innocent, and he just shrugged.
Reid, shut your damn mouth.
You have no idea what it would be like to be in his situation,
being accused of something you didn't do,
so stop making everything worse
and just shut up or get out of here.

This is fantastic! -Fantastic.
That's great, Dad.
Drew, it'll be okay.
It's all just a misunderstanding.
America has the best justice system in the world.
They don't put innocent people in jail.

We grieved for you!
We were praying you weren't dead,
and you were just taking it easy in Canada?
So you were never in New Hampshire
hiding out inside one of your poems?
And now you're wrapped up in some murder?!
No, I do not understand what that's about.
That's, like, a mix-up.
Well, you better figure that out, young lady,
because your father is beside himself.
He -- He was too upset to even come here.

as the lead patriarch in this family,
and I think that we could all thrive under my guidance,
considering I am a marriage and family therapist.

Let me lead.
I hate to say it, but I wish that you had been abused,
because when people thought that you had been abused,
they felt bad for me. -Oh, my God.
I hope you are ready to return every cent of that $250,000.
You still have the money, right, Chantal?
Well, no, I don't.
I spent it.
You spent all of it?!
Shut your dumb mouth, Katherine.
You know what? Just stop yelling at me.
I'm gonna make the money back, okay?
-How? -I'm starting a business.
Um, what business?
I don't know.
I just know that I'm starting a business, and...
it'll involve P.R., and there's gonna be an app.
And I'm paying everybody back, and it's gonna redeem me,
and Daddy's gonna be very proud, okay?

I'd like us all to look at our hands and imagine
that each finger is a value this family was once founded upon.

Thank you all for coming.
Thank you, everyone. Hi, Kathy.
Uh, okay.
Uh, I'm here to announce
that the United States Attorney's office
has filed criminal charges against Dory Sief, okay,
and Drew Gardner for the recent murder
of a New York City P.I.
They have been charged
with first-degree murder of Keith Powell.
On May 26th, Keith Powell,
private investigator, father,
and lover of Ms. Sief,
drove to Montreal in an effort
to retrieve the missing individual.
When he arrived at the r-residence,
uh, he was, uh...
[ Softly ] What -- What're you doing?
[ Normal voice ] Get out of here.
Uh, when he arrived in -- I'm sorry, where was I?
Yes. Uh, when Mr. Powell arrived in the residence...
So, all we have to do now
is just wait for the prosecution to make the first move,
and then we, like, build our defense based on that,
but the key to all of this
is that you say nothing to no one ever.
[ Cellphone chimes ]
Oh, my God, my mom just texted me.
The prosecutor threw a press conference about the charges.
What?
Um, driver, can you put on 1010 WINS?
Polly: The biggest challenge of this case
is just gonna be sifting through
the mountains of evidence.
[ Chuckling]Okay, so...
Jokes aside, Dory Sief and Drew Gardner
will pay for these immoral acts.
You know what? Turn that off.
You know, that's Federal Prosecutor Polly Danziger
in a nutshell.
All bravado, no humanity.
She's such a bull, which is, like, fine for me,
'cause I am, too, but, like, God.
I just feel bad for her sometimes.
She grew up in a generation that was all like,
"You got to be a man to get ahead."
It's like, "Bitch, just admit you like to shop."
So, tell me.
As a man.
Did I look attractive out there or what?
Polly, we have a weird, uh...
issue.
What's up?
Who the hell is "Fat Frankie"?
I was trying to tell you this during the press conference,
but according to this police officer,
Joy Hartman, this guy, Fat Frankie,
confessed to murdering Keith.
No.
No!
No, Garrett, no!
I just gave a speech out there!
I know.
I can't take it back!
Why didn't you give me this before?
M-- It was just presented to me!
This is not my fault.
I want it to be!
[ Kids screaming ]
Hey. Okay.
God, what are we doing?
I know. I know.
So, maybe I should've had more of a plan this morning
than just get out of town. I was being reactionary, okay?
We know that now!
God, I just hate these rich kids.
They don't listen to us at all.
Hey, guys?
Guys, remember what we said!
You're connected to us by a 10-foot invisible rope.
You cannot go farther than the rope!

This is just a huge misunderstanding,
and I'm completely innocent.
Thank you very much.
Come on. Come on. Thank you!
[ Reporters clamoring ]
Now, Drew, I just want you to know
that I'm on your side no matter what.
And we're going to put up a fight.

I just want everyone to know that I had absolutely nothing
to do with the death of Keith Powell,
and neither did Drew Gardner.

Okay, great!
We're innocent!
I love my innocent son.
Kids!

What are we supposed to do now?
We have to lay low on two levels now.
We have to dye our hair back immediately,
Ell-- -I cannot. I cannot.
Okay, my hair is finally growing back.
It'll just kill it all.
And I get that.
I'm actually glad we're here.
I mean, I know initially my, like,
instinct to just flee to the beach
was clearly just a reaction to the extraordinary anxiety
flowing through my veins,
but it makes so much more sense now
because now we can just sit here and we can wait
for Drew and Dory to get out of jail and just come here,
and we'll all talk and get on the same goddamn page.
Mm-hmm, I love that.
-And you know what else? -What?
I bet Dory's being really smart right now.
Mm-hmm.
I bet she's telling them it was self-defense.
Because that's basically the truth.
It was self-defense.
Oh, my God, it was self-defense, Portia.
Oh, my God.
Like, it was... -It was.
...self-defense.
It's occurring to me for the first time,
and I'm like, it's hitting me like a wave
like we're gonna be totally fine because --
because it was self-defense.
Oh, my God.
Do you hear that?!
