First, let me say that I'm glad we find out in the first few minutes of episode 1.7 of Presumed Innocent on Apple TV+ that Horgan and is alive and well. In fact, so well, that we see him back in court with a pacemaker in his heart as Rusty takes the stand.
Which, of course, is the last thing a defendant in a murder case is supposed to do, and Molto has a field day with Rusty, winning the rarely given praise of Nico. But Molto's satisfaction is short-lived. He returns home, finds his apartment has been ransacked, and a fire poker with the charming note attached, "G0 FUCK YOURSELF".
What does this tell us? Well, Molto didn't write the note in all caps himself. Someone put it there on the poker. That poker, presumably, is the poker that was used to bludgeon and kill Carolyn. I didn't see any blood on it, but that could have cleaned off.
I see two possibilities. One, Molto is the killer, he cleaned and hid the poker in his home, and someone found it -- after ransaking the place -- and left it and the note. Who could that person be?
Well, the other possibility is that the murderer in the book and the movie, angry about what Molto had put Rusty through in court, left the poker with the note in Molto's home. I guess this is the more likely explanation, but then why was the home ransacked?
We'll find out the answer next week. And I'm glad there'll be another season of this superb drama.
