Presumed Innocent's final episode, "The Verdict," opens on Tommy Molto (Peter Sarsgaard) standing in his house as forensic officers take photos of the fire poker. Tommy tells Nico Della Guardia (O-T Fagbenle) that Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal) must have put the weapon there as a final act of desperation. A worried Nico asks Tommy if he’s OK. He admits he’s not, then takes his cat upstairs.
