Anna Mitchell closes the door to Duncan's apartment so they can have a discussion alone. When Anna realized that her daughter's cell phone was turned off, Anna figured that she was probably somewhere she shouldn't be.

As is turned out, it was true. Julia had come to visit her uncle. Even though Anna railed against Julia's father for attempting to keep her from Duncan, Anna was still slightly worried that some of what Joel said about Duncan was true.

Besides, he did spend time in jail. Anna wanted to make sure Duncan was completely on the up and up before she allowed her daughter to pay him regular visits.

"Can I get you anything?" Duncan says.

"I won't be staying long. I'm here to tell you to stay away from my daughter."

Duncan laughs. "I guess Joel got to you too, huh?"

"I don't take orders from my ex-husband," Anna says.

"Well, then let me ease your worries. I'm not a hardened criminal. End of story."

"No, not end of story. How do I know I can trust you to be around my daughter?"

"Because she's my family, and I love her. You know that, Anna."

"Do I?"

"I was only in jail for twelve years. There were four years before that when I loved Julia like a father. Her own father was too busy trying to reconnect with his ex-wife to pay attention to her. Isn't that why you divorced him?"

Anna frowns. "I didn't come here to discuss my past with Joel."

"But that's what you need to hear about."

"What are you talking about?"

"How well do you know your husband? Do you know how he solves his hardest cases?"

"I don't understand."

"Do you know how he was able to put me behind bars?" Duncan says.

"Obviously, there was enough evidence against you."

"That's absolutely right. There was evidence. Evidence that Joel fabricated himself."

Anna's eyes widen. "Are you saying that Joel lied to get you put in jail?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying. The police reports, the witness accounts, the coroner's reports, all of those had to be fabricated to put me behind bars. I've been checking up on things, and they don't add up."

"This is ridiculous. Joel is a good cop. He wouldn't commit perjury to —"

"Put the man he thinks raped and murdered his wife behind bars? Are you sure about that?"

"I don't believe a single word of this. Both of you are trying to turn Julia and I against the other, and I'm not going to put up with it."

"I can prove it."

"Oh, really? How?" Anna demands.

"Well...I can't right now, but I will be able to soon."

Anna nods. "Of course. You'll be able to prove it soon."

"Yes, I will."

"Like I said, I want you to stay away from my daughter."

"Anna, please."

"No," Anna says. "I want you and Joel to stay away from my daughter. I'm not going to let her get mixed up in this ongoing feud between you two."

Anna turns to open the door. As she leaves the apartment, Duncan angrily slams the door behind her. Once again, Joel is railroading Duncan and turning his family against him.

"I'm not going to let it happen again," Duncan says, his eyes wild with anger. "If Joel wants a war...then he's got one."
