Framed By My Fiance Page #4

---

you're gonna do next, and...

But I suggest you

just try to move on.

Okay. The only thing that's

been getting me

out of bed every morning

is figuring out a way

to ruin your life. Okay?

Moving on is not

in the cards for me.

I just have a different

target now.

Speaking of that, do you

think there's any chance

you can get my friend's

landlord off her back

so I can at least have

a couch to sleep on?

Okay.

But can you please help me

get even with Daniel?

Please.

I... he ruined both of us.

Look, May, I... I get

why you wanna do that,

but I pled guilty.

I'm jobless, I'm homeless,

and I am completely heartbroken.

I just wanna try

to get over this.

I don't... I don't wanna have

to relive it every single day.

Okay. But Jenny, just wait.

I was ready to kill you.

I got you fired and kicked out

because I wanted

to piss you off.

I was hoping that you were

gonna come looking for me.

I had a gun hidden in my couch

when you were in my living room.

I think you should talk

to someone about this, May.

I am. I'm talking with you.

Someone who's not me.

Some... someone who can

help you get through this.

Who else could I talk to

that even would come close

to understanding

this situation, Jenny?

I mean, it's you.

It... it has to be you.

I'm not the vengeful type, May.

I don't want any part of this.

Okay. Okay.

So you don't... you don't

want revenge.

Then... then... then what is it?

What... what... what do you want?

I want my job back.

I just want my life

to be normal.

Okay.

We can get your job back.

We just... we... we... we have

to clear your name.

Yeah. That would require

Daniel admitting that he lied.

He's not gonna do that.

Admitting that he lied

would ruin

his entire political future.

There's a charity event

tomorrow.

Okay, it's a

ribbon-cutting ceremony,

and every politician

and anyone who wants to be

a politician is gonna be there.

Okay. We need to find just

the right dress for you.

I'm starting to feel

like an experiment.

I want to throw Daniel

off his game, okay?

So the easiest way to do that is

show him what he's missing.

Well, now I feel

like a piece of meat.

Meat is good.

After all, the quickest way

to a man's heart

is through the stomach.

Once we have the heart,

we can rip it out.

Try this one.

Oh, and I almost forgot.

I like this one.

Try that with it.

Is that valuable?

I... I don't want to wear

anything expensive.

It was my mother's.

I want you to have it.

May, I... I can't possibly

take that.

Jenny, it's... it's just

something that you pass along.

I'm 40 years old.

The love of my life is gone, and

I'm never gonna have children.

I want you to have it.

Okay.

This museum is officially open.

I have not.

Thank you.

Appreciate this.

Jenny, relax, okay?

You're like

the prettiest girl here.

Just enjoy it.

Enjoy it?

I feel sick to my stomach.

Hang in there, okay?

Come on, we're in

charge tonight.

Remember that.

I'll see you then.

Judge Hackett.

Oh, Mrs. Langford.

Jenny.

It's, uh, it's good

to see you again.

You look great.

Go to hell.

I just wanted you to know

that I've switched sides.

Excuse me?

I know that you

were driving that night.

Look, I don't know what Jenny

has been telling you, but...

Only the truth.

Well, I...

You're gonna stop talking.

I focused my energy

on an innocent girl

while you waltzed off Scot free.

It's your turn now,

Mr. Hackett.

Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna admit

what you did, publicly,

and then you're gonna

go beg for forgiveness.

It's that simple.

Do you think

he's gonna go for that?

Not in a million years.

Didn't think so.

Or you can just keep lying

and I'll start making

your life a living hell.

And how are you gonna do that?

I'll call in every favor I have.

I'll find that skeleton

in your closet.

Believe me, I will.

I... I will link your name to

every scandal that comes along.

You're gonna be

in the papers constantly,

and it's gonna be for

all the wrong reasons.

And most importantly, I'll get

you kicked off the bench.

You're gonna lose.

You're a cowardly liar,

and you're gonna lose

everything you have

and everything you ever

dreamed of having.

Enjoy the rest of the party.

Aren't you glad

you came along with me?

Very.

I know it's been a rough

couple of weeks for you,

but I'm glad to see you

out again, May.

It's good to be out.

Okay.

You've loaded me up with scotch.

Now, what do you need?

Daniel Hackett.

Fine young man.

He'll be an excellent judge.

How do I get him

kicked off the bench?

Look, May, I made

a few calls for you

about his fianc back when

the accident happened,

but we were both in an

emotional state at that time.

I know. And I'm not asking

you to do anything unethical.

Okay. You're a Judge.

Let's say that I decided

to remove you from the bench.

How would I even

go about doing that?

Well, in this State,

Judges are appointed.

Since they can't be voted out,

they have to face

a judicial review board

if complaints are filed

against them.

And how often do they

kick out one of their own?

They'll do it.

Not often, but

if there's a smoking gun...

And what do they

consider a smoking gun?

You're really serious,

aren't you?

Deadly serious.

Cheers.

Cheers.

That was pretty incredible.

He was speechless.

He couldn't even say a word.

Probably because

you told him not to.

May, I know you're not

doing this for me,

but I really appreciate it.

Well, I'm glad to have

someone on my team.

Being a vengeful b*tch,

it's just such a lonely job.

I'm sorry, Jenny, for

everything that I did to you.

I... I understand where

you were coming from.

The truth is, I blame myself.

I still do.

I made Michael

go out that night.

It's my fault that

he was even on the road.

May, you have got

to stop blaming yourself.

Nothing that happened

was your fault.

That whole night was just

a series of unfortunate events.

And nothing that you do is

ever gonna bring him back.

I really suggest that

you just try to move on.

I'm afraid I'm not

as good a person as you are.

Okay, so he said that

we need to find something

from one of Daniel's past cases.

Something or somewhere that

he cut a corner, knowingly.

Like, withholding evidence?

I mean, that's normally

a problem for prosecutors,

and Daniel,

he was a defense attorney,

so, I mean, maybe.

We really can't

rule anything out.

Where do we even start?

According to Judge Parker,

he said we need to go

to the courthouse.

We need to ask to pull

the public records,

find everything that

Daniel's been working on,

and then just start

sorting through it all.

That's gonna be a lot of stuff.

Yeah.

We're gonna need some help.

I've got to call it a day.

It's getting late.

I gotta work in the morning.

Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure how much

I actually helped.

It's like looking for

a needle in a haystack

when you don't know what

a needle looks like.
