HWHannah West
You don't think I could have done it. Either one of you.
That's a big job... for a little girl.
HWHannah West
Not if you have the right tools.
Smart kid like you, knows your brother is suffering, you feel bad, you wanna help... so you fabricate some evidence.
HWHannah West
Uh, if you thought the evidence was fake I wouldn't still be in jail.
Starting to look that way, yeah.
I bet that Grand Theft Auto had something to do with it.
Mmm, I don't know, I don't think Hannah is really the video game type.
You never know. Between you and me, I actually think it's a ton of fun.
Ah, teen lust. It starts with some chemistry, mess around with some biology. [Nick and Sara give each other look] And once you have some experience under your belt then you introduce the physics. Apparently chivalry is not dead. The bloody fingerprint tested positive for nonoxynol spermicide.
So much for the boyfriend.
If we can't pin this on Hannah or Marlon they could both walk.
Sara [to Nick]: I bet you really liked high school.
Yeah, playin' football, chasin' girls, books when I wanted to learn somethin', what's not to like?
This is Darcy, my wife Tina's niece.
Hey, Darcy. [Darcy kinda waves]
Yeah, you were right she's about Hannah's size.
Stop talkin' about me. [Warrick pulls an earbud out of her ear] Hey, that was the best part!
That's what the pause button is for. It's time to work, it's child labor day.
(Sara laughs)
[to Marlon] You moved the body, you buried it.
MWMarlon West
I know I did; I was there. What's the problem?
Well, the problem is what happened in the locker room. I mean, you're not the kind of guy who puts sodium in a showerhead to get back at somebody. You just trip them in the hallway.
So you think I'm too stupid to have done it. Great, join the club.
I don't think you're stupid, Marlon; I didn't say you were stupid. But this is Hannah's game. The whole way.
The evidence says either one of them could have done it, but I think they were in it together.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Okay, I'll proceed against Marlon for the murder and bring charges against Hannah for conspiracy.
Another trial? You sure you want to go through all this again?
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Hannah's parents and the community will have my ass if I don't.
Well, then maybe this is good news. I was just going over Sofia's notes from the original investigation. The night of the murder, Hannah and Marlon's parents had left them alone in the house. A pizza was delivered to the residence around 9:00 PM.
That's right around Stacy's TOD.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
So, did anybody talk to the delivery guy?
Yes, and at the point that Sofia did, a month had passed. Now, the delivery guy's at the house all the time. He recognized photos of both kids, but he could not be sure which one answered the door that night.
But one of them did answer the door. [Sara nods] So that means they were not together at the time Stacy was killed.
Yeah. So much for conspiracy. We're right back where we started.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Where we are is in the crapper. Look, I have to disclose the cart. Defense is going to eat me alive.
Marlon's your guy. He's your guy, just because Hannah wasn't there doesn't mean she didn't help plan this.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Well, I sure hope it's Marlon, because he's the one we have on trial.
I stand by the case we filed.
I agree. The girl's just trying to protect him.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Sara?
This was more about brains than brawn. I think Hannah did it.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
In my world, that's called an acquittal.
Hannah, with your gifts you could have done anything you could have wanted and you picked murder, you can't take that back.
HWHannah West
You're worried how I'm gonna turn out?
Of course I am. I know it seems like a really long time, but in five years, the Stacy's of the world would have been behind you.
HWHannah West
Let me guess? You were a smart kid in school, maybe you feel that we're a little bit alike?
There aren't many people like you.
HWHannah West
That's what my parents always say too. The last four months all they cared about was the effect of the trial on me not Marlon. It's been that way ever since I was 14 months old and started spelling words with plastic letters. It's so unfair and nobody ever sees it. He doesn't deserve to go to jail. If I get convicted, what's the worst case scenario? I mean, I'll be out in five years with an undergraduate degree. There's no Son of Sam law in Nevada. That was ruled unconstitutional, so I'm free to write a book about all of this. The story will be worth millions. Freaks are always good box office.
HWHannah West
When was the last time you had to sit down to be eye level with a murder suspect who was standing up?
Hannah West you are smart.
HWHannah West
So I've been told.
But you are not smart enough to get away with murder.
HWHannah West
I think I am. A lot of people are smart enough to get away with murder. You probably are too, but you have to be really smart to get people to think that something happened that never did.
What do you mean... exactly?
HWHannah West
Please don't worry about me, I'm gonna be fine. [whispering in Sara's ear] I didn't kill Stacy. Marlon did.
[A gangbanger is threatening Stokes and Brown]
GGangbanger
Yo think you're cops, y'all ain't cops!
[Stokes jumps out of the truck and levels his gun at him]
That's right, we're not cops we're mad scientists, back away from the vehicle, let me see your hands now.
