How to Get Away with Murder - Season 7

14. It's Over Now

It's all quiet in the building.

<<Why don't you never answer the phone, Anna Mae!>>, Celestine whispers to herself.

The woman is holding a yellow envelope with some important files in it and she needs to show them to Annalise as soon as possibile.

New York City, New York

11:03 AM

Annalise is in Sylvia Mahoney's apartment.

The two are arguing. Of course.

<<I didn't expect you to move around here.>>, Annalise says.

Sylvia Mahoney's apartment is all but luxurious. In fact, it is very unkempt. Something must have happened in the last few years.

<<What do you mean by that, Annalise?>>

Annalise doesn't answer.

There's tension.

<<Who told you where I lived?>>, Sylvia asks.

<<You can find out a lot on Google.>>

Actually, Lou helped Annalise to find out where she lived.

There's a moment of silence between the two women.

Sylvia sits on the chair, pulls out a cigarette from the pocket and smokes it.

Annalise looks at her puzzled.

<<Once again, why are you here?>>

<<Where is Charles?>>, Annalise asks.

<<Why do you answer with a question?>>

Annalise is ready to puke the whole truth all over her.

<<You went to Cleveland in 2005.>>

Sylvia is confused.

<<You had Wes Gibbins adopted by a family in Ohio.>>

Sylvia looks at her impatiently and replies: <<Did you come all the way down here just to ask me this?>>

Annalise throws the file on the table.

Sylvia looks at it and says: <<You know damn well I'm never going to read that.>>

<<I talked to Maria Sloane from the Department of Children's Services in Cleveland. She told me the truth, but I want to hear it straight from your filthy mouth.>>

<<Then I would have to call my lawyer and file a complaint for defamation, Annalise.>>

<<If you can afford it.>>

The tension increases.

<<You are capable of lying in front of the evidence. It's unbelievable.>>

<<I don't even know what you're talking about, Annalise. Do you understand that?>>

<<I do understand. Then, explain to me why a sixty-year-old woman would lie about it, uh?>>

<<Why do you believe everything people say?>>

<<Tell me why you got Wes adopted by that family, Sylvia.>>
