Harper pays a visit to the widow of one of the dead marines from the explosion. She says her husband liked the accused marine. They didn’t have any issues. She keeps digging an discovers the suspect was dating a Russian spy. One of the marines must have been on to him so the suspect staged the accident to kill him.

Maya tells her she thinks she knows and that is why Turnbull chose her for this.
Abe meets with the widow outside of court. He leaves a file behind so the widow can see that her husband was killed on purpose. Back inside the court, the widow is called. Instead, of defending the suspect, she changes her character assessment. She read the file and now knows the truth. Abe cross-examines her. She talks about how she once believed the suspect was a friend but now knows better. The judge calls them to chambers. Abe admits he left the file behind. It looks like the suspect is going away for his crime and for colluding with a spy.
