Diane: "You were on it for all of five seconds, you arrogant cutie-pie. Trust me, we did everything."Will: "Not everything, or he would be alive."
The second she's gone, the lightbulb goes off and he figures the whole thing out.
DEATH ROW
They hook it up, hook it up, I hate this so we're skipping this part, and then randomly the Warden gets busted in on by DEA agents who question him about transporting/receiving toxic chemicals through the USPS, in violation of 49 U.S.C. 5101, and then confiscate all the potassium chloride, and before you know it the Indiana Governor has stopped the execution because a third miss is too much, so now he's just in jail forever for a crime he didn't commit, instead of dead.
L/G
Alicia watches Will and Diane and their victory dancing, for a while. Just sort of loving them, and the idea of them, and the idea of them being the mommy and daddy but also really respecting her, as much as they use her. How good it felt to be a part of this, to do good work, pro bono, to save a man's life together using their brains and their quickness and their strength and yeah, their love. The unspoken signals and power that comes with long intimacy, that was it too. It wasn't the last thing, it wasn't what saved him, but it was the best thing.
She wants so much to be a part of it, to race into the middle of the room and throw herself on them, into their arms, to thank them for everything they've done, for believing in her, for the Bakeoffs and the Partnerships and the Blue Ribbon Committees. For the awe. She has never loved them more than she does today; never admired and respected them so fully. She shakes with it. But she doesn't move.
Will: "Good work, Alicia. Have a drink."
Alicia: "Were you the one that called the DEA?"
Will: "Heh heh heh."
Alicia: "It was awesome. I need to tell you something. I can't handle it anymore. I need to be above-board about this, and..."
Carey was right. But Will saves her.
Will: "Alicia, it's fine. I'm on a gambler's high right now but trust me, I'm feeling magnanimous. I'm not going to tell you I love you, or that your mother begged me to save you from your husband again. I'm just... I know why you didn't call, and it's fine. The merry-go-round was killing us. Both. It's off, it's fine, come have a drink."
Alicia, quietly, to his back: "...Don't end up hating me."
