Ellenor Frutt : I hired a focus group to monitor the trial.
Tara Wilson : They found your testimony unconvincing and unanimously rejected it.
[Brad shakes his head, looking down and clenching his hands]
Ellenor Frutt : All right. Look. I would like to explore Murder Two.
Brad Stanfield : Absolutely not!
Ellenor Frutt : Brad...
Brad Stanfield : That is a life sentence, Ellenor!
Ellenor Frutt : With the possibility of parole. I... I don't know what to tell you. We are going to lose here. We are dead!

Ellenor Frutt : [to Emma] We know you love your dad very much and he loves you. We're his lawyers and all of his secrets are safe with us. Are you the person who poisoned your mother?
Emma Stanfield : I told you I don't really want to talk about it right now.
Jamie Stringer : Emma, I don't think you really want your dad to live the rest of his life in prison.
Ellenor Frutt : There may be a way for us to help him and to protect you at the same time, but we need to know the truth, Emma. Did you poison your mother?
[Emma cries and looks down at her hands]
Ellenor Frutt : Can you tell us why?
Emma Stanfield : She was ruining everything.
