Framed By My Fiance Page #3

and you avoid jail time.

So you want me to admit

that I... I did something

that I didn't do that

resulted in someone dying?

Yes.

Call it whatever you want.

What would you do?

Take the deal.

I just wanted to let you

know in person,

the woman, Jennifer Fischer,

she accepted a plea bargain.

A plea bargain?

It was always

the likely outcome.

I wanted her in court.

I wanted a jury to hear

what she did.

May, it was an accident.

I wanted her in prison...

for the rest of her life.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I like the Spartan dcor,

very empty chic.

Corner office, big windows.

Somebody's looking out for you.

It won't be empty

for long, right?

I can't thank you enough,

Harold.

I know you had a lot

to do with this.

Friends take care of friends.

That's how our world works.

Excuse me.

It's time for

the swearing in ceremony.

Thank you, Helen.

Harold, this is

my assistant, Helen.

I brought her over

from the old firm.

You take care of the judge.

He's going places.

Well, right now he's going

upstairs to the ceremony.

Behind every great man

is a great woman.

I'm glad you finally found one.

Let's do this.

Hey.

Hey.

So Dr. Green fired me today.

I heard.

I'm sorry, I was with a patient

or else I would have...

I don't what I would have done.

What did they say?

They said that too many

parents had been complaining,

and that they didn't

feel comfortable having

the children around a nurse

who had killed somebody.

That's crazy.

You can sue them.

Yeah, maybe, but the

State Medical Board

is now reviewing my license

for unprofessional conduct.

Oh, man.

Jenny, that's awful.

Yeah.

I mean, I... I lose my job,

and now my license is

in jeopardy,

so I'm probably not gonna be

able to find another job.

What?

I'm sorry.

For what?

Somebody complained

to the landlord.

There's only supposed to be one

person living in this apartment.

You're kicking me out?

I'm not kicking you out.

The landlord is.

I... I don't have

anywhere else to go.

I... where am I supposed

to sleep?

Stay here tonight.

We'll... we'll deal with it

tomorrow.

Great.

Well, at least I have

somewhere to sleep tonight.

Finding an apartment

when you have zero income

is gonna be super easy.

I'm so sorry.

I know, it's not your fault.

I'm gonna get a glass of wine.

Bring the bottle.

(YAWNS)

You're up early.

Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

I'll bet.

So it turns out someone's

really out to get me.

What are you talking about?

May Langford.

She's the wife of the guy

who got killed in the accident.

Okay.

It turns out she and Dr. Green

went to college together.

They're actually pretty close.

They belong to the same

country club and everything.

So, you think

Mrs. Langford

pressured Dr. Green

into firing you?

Mm-hmm.

And there's more.

Do you remember how Randy

said the Langford's

made all their money

in construction?

Mm-hmm.

Well, guess who built this

entire apartment complex?

Langford Construction.

It seems like your owner was

pretty close with Mr. Langford.

He hired him on a dozen other

jobs after this one.

So, the wife gets the

charges against you bumped up,

gets you fired,

and then calls my landlord

and gets you

kicked off my couch.

That is some serious

vengeance at work.

I just don't understand how

she found out I was even here.

Somebody probably

tipped her off.

I'm gonna go to her house.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I'll figure it out

when I get there.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

(KNOCKING)

Open up, I know you're in there!

There is a doorbell right there.

Pounding is

so much more satisfying.

Well, you're here.

What can I do for you?

I need you to stop

messing with my life.

Wait, I'm sorry, have you been

inconvenienced in some way?

You are unbelievable.

(DOOR OPENS)

Look, I don't like airing

my dirty laundry in public.

So, why don't you come in?

We can be more

civilized about this.

Civilized?

You got me fired.

You got me kicked out

of the place I was living.

Okay. You... you killed

my husband, okay?

I... I lost my baby.

You've ruined my life.

I mean, what do you think

I'm just gonna let all that go?

I didn't kill your husband.

I wasn't driving that night.

My ex was.

He was afraid it was gonna ruin

his career, so he set me up.

You are such a liar.

I am sorry for your loss.

I truly am, but

spending your days

trying to ruin my life

is a waste of yours.

I have to disagree.

Look, I know it sounds crazy,

but Daniel was driving

that night.

When I was unconscious, he

moved me into the driver's seat,

and he got to tell everyone

his version of the story

before I even came to.

I've been telling mine

ever since I woke up, but...

no one believes me.

That's because it's absurd.

Look, I just need to work.

I just need a place to stay.

I don't care whether you

believe me or not,

I just need you

to stop harassing me.

I don't think so.

Okay.

This is... this is pointless.

You're obviously

very sad and angry,

and you're really good

at ruining people's lives.

But I just wanted you

to know that the person

who actually killed

your husband,

he's doing quite well

for himself now.

But if you don't care

about that,

then there's really

nothing else I can do.

Okay, just wait.

You can't do this.

You can't... you can't just...

just come in here and... and...

and make me doubt...

Look, I need to know,

100 percent certain,

I need to know

who killed my husband.

Please, just give me

one shred of proof.

He does this...

this little nervous tic

tapping thing with his fingers,

every single time he's lying.

You should just go talk to him.

Ask him point blank.

Maybe then you'll believe me.

Excuse me, your Honor?

You'd be the first person

to actually...

Mrs. Langford, excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't realize it was you.

May I speak with you?

Of, course.

I just came to see you

because... okay.

This is really awkward

to talk about.

Oh, please,

you can say anything.

It's just, your fianc

came by to see me.

I can assure you,

she is no longer my fianc.

I'm sorry that she did that.

It must have been very traumatic

for you to have to see her.

Yeah. I think the thing

that upset me the most

is that she refused

to apologize to me.

That's awful.

Did she, uh,

did she say anything?

Yeah.

She said you

caused the accident.

She said you were driving,

and after the accident,

you moved her into

the driver's seat

having her take the blame.

I just want to hear you say it.

I mean, you can understand that.

Yeah, of course.

Were you driving?

No, Mrs. Langford.

I was not driving.

And you didn't move Jenny

to the driver's seat

after the accident?

No.

I can assure you I did not

do anything like that.

Thank you.

I just wanted to make sure.

Of course.

I understand.

Congratulations, by the way,

on your new appointment.

Thank you.

You were right.

What a bastard.

So you finally believe me?

Yeah.

Look, I... I think I know what
