B.
I.

Also - No downturn in the lie business.
Good morning.
- Would you put that down? - What, you don't like women in masks anymore? No.
It's because it's one of a kind.
Could you Could you put that down? - Never mind.
- I do so like it when you get flustered.
It's rare, but highly enjoyable.
- Why are you here? - You have such a gift for small talk.
Really, you should've gone into the hospitality business.
Opened yourself up a little bed and breakfast somewhere.
- Ria Torres.
- Zoe Landau.
- Hi.
- It's Assistant - Assistant U.
S.
Attorney.
- Hmm.
- You always did like them so young.
- Excuse me? His protégés They're usually young.
It's easier for him to try to mold in his image.
Is there a reason you're here? I have a case.
I need your help.
- You want to hire me? - Well, I don't want to remarry you.
What? Do you have a problem working for your ex-wife? My daughter is in a hospital bed with second degree burns.
My wife's mother is dead.
- My house is gone.
- This case is a top priority for us, Mr.
Ambrose.
So why hasn't anything been done? Why isn't that son of a bitch in jail? - You know that he did this.
- Frank? She's asking for you.
I want Garcia behind bars.
He thinks you know who started the fire? Well, I have a witness who saw Jack Garcia running from the Ambrose house right after the fire started.
- That TV reporter? - Yeah.
He and Ambrose were friends in high school but they had a falling out.
So you have a witness that can put Jack Garcia at the scene of the crime? - What's the problem? - The witness has a slight credibility issue.
Who's the witness? My mommy left me outside.
She went back in the house to look for Maggie and Nana.
That's when I saw Mr.
Garcia.
Hey, A.
J? Do you ever tell a lie? It's all right, honey.
That's all right.
We all tell stories.
But today, I need you to tell me the truth.
I am telling the truth.
I saw Mr.
Garcia.
He ran out of the cellar.
You know the story of the little boy who cried wolf? He said the wolf was there when it wasn't so no one helped him when the wolf really came.
That's right.
He told a lie, and the wolf ate him.
And if you don't tell the truth, the wolf's gonna come back and he's gonna eat you.
- What is this? What - Did you see Mr.
Garcia? - I saw him running away.
- I want you to tell me the truth now.
- I am telling the truth.
- The wolf's gonna come back, and he's gonna eat you up.
- You're scaring him.
- I saw him.
- I need you to tell me the truth.
- He killed my nana.
Okay, leave my son alone.
Okay.
You used to be so good with children.
Well, you don't want an innocent man going to prison for 20 years.
A.
J.
was showing no signs of deception.
So I raised the stakes a bit.
- And he still wasn't anxious.
- No.
He seems to be telling the truth, actually.
Good.
Let's talk to Jack Garcia.
- My place or yours? - Mine.
I want Foster to evaluate A.
J.
Ah, yes.
Gillian.
- What was that? - I didn't say anything.
What? Let's talk to the accused, and get you some medication.
Thanks to my college buddy, Army Lieutenant Kenneth I know how hard it is for our wounded veterans to return home.
I'm Jack Garcia, and this is what I know.
"This is what I know.
" That really put you on the map.
Right? Uh, selling the misery of your old friends is kind of what you do.
You're saying I burned down a man's house so I could report on it? Well, aren't you in the running for some big new cable show? I mean, the story of an old friend losing everything could help you along nicely.
You do not want to be interrogated by this man.
Trust me.
It's kind of fun when you're not on the other end though.
I told you, we drifted apart.
I have no problem with Frank Ambrose.
Never have.
Right, so, bad reporter, good liar.
Not a great one.
When he talks about Ambrose, this is what we get.
- Right.
- Contempt.
- Yeah, that's right.
- I'm familiar with that one.
I think we should probe the relationship between Ambrose and Garcia.
- See what we can come up with.
- Sounds like fun.
- Cal? - What? - Zoe.
- Gillian.
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
- Uh, can I talk to you for a minute? - She's calling.
Cal? - No.
- What "no"? You know what.
We We have never worked for her before.
- We are not starting now.
- It's an interesting case.
No.
There are plenty of interesting cases.
Do you not remember what it was like after she left? When you wore the same shirt to the office every day for a month.
- I still do.
- You saw the head tilt.
- She's flirting with you.
- No.
That's ridiculous.
She - She does this to you every time.
- No.
- She is single again, Cal.
- No.
No.
She's been with Roger for What? - For the best part of a year now, right? - Well, is she still? - Did you ask her? - I don't know.
Look, I'm taking the case.
I'll be fine.
- Cal - I'm in complete control of myself.
Which is more than I can say for you following me into the men's room.
The women's room, Cal.
- Excuse me.
- The women's room.
Why don't you tell us what really happened between you and Frank Ambrose? I told you.
Nothing happened.
We haven't been friends in years.
- Why not? - You grow older.
Things change.
Now, I, um - Now we have nothing in common.
- Why do you feel contempt for him then? - I never said that.
I don't.
- You're gonna have to learn to lie better than that if you want a real career in front of the camera.
Look Frank called me about six months ago.
He'd just been laid off.
He seemed desperate, so I asked him if there was anything I could do.
That's one of my favorites, that one.
I mean, it's amazing how many times people say that and they don't mean it.
Right? Yeah, well, he asked me for money and I gave it to him, okay? You lent a guy money that you hadn't talked to in years? Yeah, we shared a past.
That meant something to me.
Apparently not to him.
I called Frank a month ago.
See how he was doing.
And that ungrateful son of a bitch acted like I was squeezing him for the money he owed me.
And now his boy is accusing me of burning down his house? You're damn right I feel contempt.
- He sounded convincing.
- Yeah, and looked it.
You said that about the Ambrose boy.
I mean, they both can't be telling the truth.
What, are you losing your touch? I'll evaluate the boy.
He may not be able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
A.
J.
may be imagining what he saw.
If he believes in his fantasy, it could appear that he's telling the truth.
I'm gonna work on something a little bit more tangible.
I'm gonna get the F.
B.
I.
to do checks on Garcia and Ambrose.
But feel free to talk to the boy.
Take him to the zoo if you like.
That's Roger.
I should probably take this.
- Yeah, how's it going between you two? Is it good? - Yeah.
It's great.
Hey.
Oh, I love you too.
I miss you.
Well, that was a lie.
What? Oh, yeah.
Well, you know she's been with Roger for a long time, and if there was something serious - she would've told me, right? - Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
- You know, you can - Hey, I found out there's more footage on Could you call the Ambrose family? See if they could bring their kid by this afternoon? - Scheduling meetings.
Fantastic.
- Yeah.
Hey, where you going? I'm gonna go help Torres get started on the southeast drive-by shooting.
You know, who better than me to get inside the world of gangsta rappers? Sweet place.
For a guy who raps about being true to the hood Caden doesn't exactly put his money where his mouth is, huh? Detective Riley.
Dr.
Foster, Miss Torres, thanks for coming.
Is that the, uh, kid who was murdered? Yeah.
Dante Edwards.
Three nights ago, he was leaving a club when he took two bullets to the chest in a drive-by.
You think Caden shot him? Caden was seen arguing with Dante at a party last week.
Dante is part of Little Sid's entourage.
He's a rival rapper.
He and Caden are in a big feud.
Caden's a bad man.
He raps about how he's killed half a dozen men.
We nail him for this, we can put him behind bars where he belongs.
You gettin' these shots right here, right? Platinum, baby That's what I do.
That's what I go for right now, man.
You feeling me? Yeah.
The ladies is loving me right now.
I know you see this.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Now, that looks good.
On to the next.
You got a moment to speak to Detective Riley? I don't talk to cops, man.
My manager will show you to the door.
Look, I'm sorry.
My cousin's not a snitch.
You know what would happen to album sales if people knew y'all were here? Mr.
Davis, your cousin doesn't want to cooperate, we'll bring him in.
I can dig it.
Everybody find another room.
The party's over.
Now.
Why do they keep breaking us up? - Right this way.
- What? Did you know Dante Edwards? Whoa.
That's a lot of regret for a killer.
Look, I didn't kill him.
You got a lot of loyal folks in your entourage.
Maybe you got one of them to do it.
Let me tell you something.
Look, me and my cousin grew up with Dante.
He lived three doors down from us in the Carolburg projects.
- And you coming up in here - Cay, Cay, Cay No, no, no, no.
Let me explain something why I'm upset right now.
The world should know this is unacceptable to me.
The world should know this, B.
And you coming up in here and accusing me of killing somebody that I grew up with? Are we finished yet? I haven't heard an alibi.
My cousin and I were here watching the Carver-Nova game.
- Caden seemed to be telling the truth.
- Yeah.
- And his sadness was for real.
- You're saying you believe the guy? The rivalry with Little Sid's crew, the argument Both point to Caden.
Okay, but why would a killer show remorse for his victim? Okay.
A.
J.
, what about this one? That's Santa Claus.
Yeah, it is.
Tell me about Santa.
He has a sleigh and reindeer.
He brings me presents.
Shh.
Be quiet.
- Have you ever seen Santa? - No.
I always fall asleep.
But I think I heard him on the roof once.
Shh.
I told you, quiet now.
- Who are you talking to? - That's Penelope.
Quiet.
I told you to be quiet.
- You did that.
- Eh? - You did that.
- Penelope did that.
You're making that up.
Now that's not fair.
She thinks you're cool.
There's no one there.
She told me that she thought that you were super cool.
You're weird.
Your imaginary friend Penelope? - Yeah.
It's the only girl I know tells me the truth.
- Hey.
What? Oh, sorry.
So It's clear A.
J.
can tell the difference between reality and fantasy, right? Yes, but that was your fantasy.
He's a little fuzzier when it comes to his own.
He's still at the age where he thinks Santa's real.
So you think he imagined Garcia running away from the fire? Yeah, I think so.
But I'll still get him to draw some more.
It's a more direct line to his unconscious.
- I'm not sure we'll need it.
- We still have a receptionist here, don't we? Jack Garcia wasn't the only person that Frank Ambrose owed money to.
The guy's under a mountain of debt Credit cards, student loans, you name it.
- Take a look at this.
Home owner's insurance.
- Oh, yeah? Housing prices have dropped, but his home was insured at the value it had before the market collapsed.
His house was worth more to him in ashes than it was standing.
You think I'd burn down my own house? I lost everything in that fire.
You made a lot of money when the house went down.
That doesn't make me an arsonist.
Jack Garcia is the one who did this.
He's a user.
He lives off the suffering of everybody else.
Now you truly believe that? God.
My son saw him.
What is the matter with you people? So how long are you stuck here? My daughter is in a hospital bed.
My doctor said I could go home at the end of the week.
was burned alive.
It's not so bad.
- It's been kind of cool here.
- Really? All my friends came by.
It's nice having my family around.
- Um - My dad hasn't left.
Oh, yeah? What about your mom? Yeah.
She's been here too.
Do you believe Mr.
Ambrose? Yeah.
Most of what he said, but I'm interested in what the daughter told you.
Family would've been through a lot, and the kid would've seen the worst of it.
- What do you got? - A lot of anger from Maggie towards Mom.
Mom? - What are you doing? - Looking at Mom.
How did you know Mr.
Garcia? He's friends with my daddy.
Yeah.
She's holding her breath.
- Anxiety.
- I think I know why Maggie's so angry.
That's great, A.
J.
Okay, now can you draw for me what you saw the night of the fire? - I'm not done.
- That's all right.
I don't need to talk to A.
J.
Uh, what was your relationship with the man that your son's accused? - Excuse me? - Were you having an affair with Jack Garcia? How dare you accuse me of having an affair in front of my son.
Yeah, you're avoiding the question.
Are you having an affair with Jack Garcia? - I'm getting my son, and I'm going.
- That's fine.
But we'll be back with a subpoena.
I suppose we could always talk to your husband and find out what he knows about it.
Nine months ago I was out shopping and Jack walked up to me in the store.
He had so much confidence.
Frank had lost his job.
We were really struggling.
- We had stopped having sex altogether by then.
- So you had an affair.
Every minute with Jack was a chance to be with somebody who didn't know me or my problems.
I thought about leaving my husband but the children and I are all that he has left.
And so I broke it off with Jack.
How'd he take it? He understood.
Look, this has nothing to do with the fire.
It's easier to believe that, isn't it? I don't know what A.
J.
saw, but I know Jack Garcia and he would never do something like this to us.
Come on, baby.
Because of our daughter.
And sex was never the problem.
Well, you wanted to know why I never cheated on you.
What about you? You would've known.
Oh.
Besides, I wanted to kill you.
I never wanted to hurt you.
I think that's what we should focus on here.
Affairs make for angry spouses, right? What could possibly make me want to burn down the Ambroses' house? Your husband was having an affair with Cheryl Ambrose.
Oh, she knew already.
He told me two weeks ago.
If you'd already told your wife, why didn't you tell us? - I wanted to - I told him not to.
It's not something I wanted to see in the papers.
Look, the idea that my wife would do this is absurd.
Is it? She's still angry.
Not at Cheryl Ambrose.
I- I knew when Jack started in front of the camera, it would be different.
The Jack Garcia you see on TV is not the man I married.
But marriage is about figuring out how to make it through when things change.
- She was lying to herself.
- So that's it? That's it then? People just change, and then they move on? Are you saying that I'm the one that changed? You left me.
You left.
- Yeah, I left because of you.
- Oh, it's my fault now? No.
I'm saying you should take a hard look at what happened before you start blaming me.
Hey, I saw what happened.
I saw what was happening.
You know, I could see the doubt.
I could see the doubt when you were standing on the bloody altar.
Everyone has doubts, Cal.
Everyone.
At the altar, with their friends, in the maternity ward staring at the very best thing that's ever happened to them.
But that doesn't mean it's the only thing that they feel.
You know, you just You saw every doubt, every fear.
By the end, that was all you could see.
You couldn't let go of anything.
- I was trying to be honest.
- Yes.
I know.
I know, but I can tell you, sweetheart there really is such a thing as too much honesty in a marriage.
What, you, uh You'd rather be with someone that doesn't really know you then? How about someone who doesn't need to know everything about me? Who I can surprise on his birthday.
Who doesn't need to point out every time I'm even remotely attracted to another man.
Someone with his head up his ass.
Someone who doesn't study my eyebrows when I'm standing in a thong.
Why are you here, really? What Why'd you hire me? - Eh? - It's a tough case.
Doing my thing right now.
We living it up, baby.
That's how we do, you know? - That Caden? - Yeah.
And Little Sid and his crew at an album release party last year.
The victim, Dante Edwards, is behind him on the right.
Come up to me like, "Little Sid, please take me away from this paper rapper.
" How about I put a gun to your face right now? What's up? Check out the fake anger.
If that anger were real, his upper eyelids would be raised - and his lips would be narrower.
- The rivalry's fake? That feud is big business.
Sold a lot of albums last year.
So then why would Caden or anyone else in his crew want to kill Dante? I'm thinking that the murderer is not in Caden's crew.
Okay.
Let's take a look at our victim.
Which group does Dante look like? The men on the left or the men on the right? Um, the men on the left? Oh, you have a sixth sense.
By that, I mean you see gay people.
- What, you think Dante's gay? - Yeah, and so do you.
All the men on the left are gay.
A new study in The Journal of Experimental Psychology showed that most people can identify gay men by face alone.
It has to do with the pattern of muscle tension in the face.
And Check out Little Sid's newest album.
#My gaydar gun target # #Like Dirty Harry I'm gonna make your day # #I'm gonna take your ass out because your ass is gay # - # Come on out the closet, man ## - Oh.
Little Sid is one big homophobe.
If he found out one of his entourage was gay no telling what he would've done.
We're looking at the wrong rapper.
All right, take a look at these.
- More drawings? - Yeah.
- So what do they mean? - Uh, well, here the arsonist has a tail and there, he's, uhhe's breathing fire.
- So they're becoming more - It's getting more elaborate.
Exactly.
If it were a true memory he'd stick to what he remembers but A.
J.
is embellishing his story.
Wait.
So he did see Jack Garcia or he didn't? Which one is it? Well, A.
J.
believes his story is true the same way he believes in Santa Claus.
Somebody he trusts told him it was true.
It's an implanted memory.
Jack Garcia didn't start that fire.
We need to go talk to A.
J.
's parents again.
One of them may be using their son to frame that man.
- Maybe you didn't leave Jack Garcia.
Maybe he left you.
- What? You hated him for taking away what little joy you had, didn't you? You hated him, you hated your life, so you set fire to your house.
And you told your son to say it was Jack.
You think that I burned down my own house? - That fire killed my mother.
- People have done crazier things at the end of an affair.
Cheryl was having an affair with Jack? You had two strong motives, Mr.
Ambrose Make a bundle of money on the house, and get back at the man who stole your wife.
You knew she was miserable in your marriage.
- You had nothing to lose.
- I had no idea that she was having an affair.
I almost left my family for Jack.
Why would I want him in jail? I had nothing to do with this.
I would never put my family at risk like that.
- It wasn't Cheryl.
- No.
The emotion she was showing was genuine.
- She's still fond of Garcia.
- That's a shame but it'll help me make the case against Frank.
- What? - He had the motive the means, and plenty of opportunity to implant the memory in his son.
No.
He was truly surprised.
He Well, hang on.
Cheryl was having an affair with Jack? See? He had He had no idea.
If he was surprised, it was because we knew about the affair.
- Nah, you're wrong.
- Oh.
Well, there's something you're always certain about.
You don't see what I see.
You know, you You-You really used to be so charming back before you became God.
You really don't care what we think about this case, do you? - I didn't say that.
- Yeah, you did.
- No, I didn't.
I didn't.
- Yeah.
You did.
Something's off.
You split up with Roger? - Roger and I are fine.
- I don't believe you, Zoe.
Fine.
You want to know the truth? - Yeah.
- Roger proposed to me.
He wants to marry me, all right? You just got to telling him about it now? I've gotta get back to the office.
Have a wonderful dinner, sweetheart.
Oh, yeah.
It's gonna be a blast.
- Little Sid? - Y'all enjoy y'all self.
Oh, speaking of fine ladies.
Damn.
What do we have here? - Easy, big guy.
She's with me.
- Such a shame.
Because I don't talk to the po-po's, baby.
Guess that means you've got nothing to say about Dante Edwards' murder.
- I guess not.
- Oh.
Now there's some real anger.
You must've been pretty angry when you found out Dante was gay, huh? Dante was a smart dude, all right? He got the business.
He knew to keep it on the D.
L.
Besides, I always knew which way he was swinging.
Huh.
No disgust.
But your music's full of hate for gays.
Look, I got records to sell.
So if I gotta hate, yeah, I'm gonna hate.
But I didn't have no problem with Dante doing his Brokeback thing.
Oh, I see.
You're not homophobic.
- You're just an ass.
- Look, little po-po lady.
You don't know me, all right? And you don't know nothin' about my business.
Maybe not, but I do read people pretty well and you can't seem to say Dante's name without showing anger.
Look, I found this kid on the street.
I make him the hottest mixer in the game.
And he go off and work for Caden? - So you had a grudge? - Hell, yeah, I had a grudge.
But that's no need for gun play, all right? I'm a hustler, man, an entertainer.
I'm no murderer.
Those guns are part of my "image.
" Just for show.
Okay.
Any idea why Dante left? I offered the boy a raise, a new crib.
But, see, he didn't want none of that.
So when you two guys figure that out - then we'll have something to talk about.
- Uh-uh.
- Hey, Dad? - Hey, what? Are you okay? I'm fine.
Yeah.
Ugh.
I hate this picture.
Let me see.
Oh, no.
I like that one.
Why? You and Mom spent the whole day arguing about your research trip to New Guinea.
Yeah.
We were happy then.
- Well, look at the smiles.
They're real.
- Oh.
I guess it's good Mom wasn't the only one that was delusional.
Thank you.
- She's not wearing the ring, you know.
- What? She's not wearing the ring.
- Why? - Come on, why do you think? I mean, she's not sure about Roger.
She still thinks she's in love with you.
- What? - I mean, I see what's going on with you two.
I always do.
I always have.
That's true, love.
Who are you calling? Your mum.
Oh, get out of here.
- We've got nothing else to say to you people.
- We're not here for you.
Hi, Maggie.
How you feeling? You all right? Not so good, eh? How long have you known about your mum and Mr.
Garcia? - Oh, my God.
- She's a child.
Oh, she already knows.
You've known for quite some time, haven't you? I'm tired, Daddy.
- Please leave her alone.
- I'm sorry.
We can't do that, Mrs.
Ambrose.
Did you see them together, love? Is that what happened? It was, wasn't it? Your dad didn't know, but you did, eh? Yeah? Did you hear your parents fighting? Must've been scary.
Were you afraid Mr.
Garcia was gonna break up your family? I heard her.
I heard my mom.
She was on the phone.
She was talking to Mr.
Garcia, and she told him she loved him and that she was thinking about running away with him.
Oh, Maggie.
I thought if Mr.
Garcia got blamed for the fire they'd take him away - and we'd stay a family.
- Baby, I wasn't I wasn't ever gonna leave you.
I was just confused.
You weren't supposed to know about any of this but I was never gonna leave you.
You burnt down the house to save your family, didn't you? You set the fire and and told your brother it was Mr.
Garcia, right? I told A.
J.
to say it was Mr.
Garcia.
I told him over and over, until he believed it.
But that fire It killed Nana.
- I didn't start the fire.
- It's okay.
- It's okay, sweetheart.
- I swear I didn't.
- No, it's okay.
It's okay.
- Shh, shh, shh.
We love you so much.
It's okay.
- Mommy - We're all together now.
Nobody's going anywhere.
We tell ourselves we can protect them, try to shield them but in the end, they see everything.
live at the scene where the F.
B.
I is investigating a possible serial arsonist.
- Oh, my God.
- Go ahead, Jim.
Well, the F.
B.
I.
's just been called into this but from what we can tell, the blaze started this morning.
And, yes, we think it's maybe the same person who burned down the Ambrose house earlier this week.
The F.
B.
I.
is currently conducting our investigation.
F.
B.
I.
thinks we're looking at a serial arsonist.
Are we sure the two fires are connected? Positive.
Same chemical accelerant.
Same point of origin.
Serial arsonists don't stop.
They just get bolder.
Yeah, well, this one was set in broad daylight.
That's bolder.
We've gotta find this guy.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Craig? This is A.
U.
S.
A.
Zoe Landau.
She's running the investigation.
Can you tell us what happened? I was on my way to work when I got the call.
I I came home right away.
Aaron was already here.
I had just gotten back from a jog.
The back of the house was all up in flames.
I tried to save what I could.
- Looks like you lost everything.
- Yeah.
You can't imagine how horrible we feel.
No.
Can't imagine.
We need to talk to you.
Caden's not gonna talk to the cops again.
That's why I left them outside.
I just need five minutes.
Why didn't you tell us Dante was coming to work for you? How about it's none of your damn business? Look, last time I was here when I was asking you about Dante, I expected anger hate but all I saw was sadness.
And then I found out Dante was gay Something you knew all along.
Yeah, I thought so.
I think I know why he left Little Sid to come work for you.
- Okay, lady.
You're out of line.
- Am I? Caden, what exactly was your relationship - with Dante Edwards? - That's enough, all right? Why were you guys arguing at the club the night he was killed? - You're not just gonna - Was it 'cause he was threatening to come out? 'Cause he was threatening to take you with him? Is that why you killed him? You don't know what you're talking about.
I had nothing to do with Dante's death.
You didn't, did you? You really did care for him.
You loved him.
You know, they buried him today.
And I couldn't even go to the funeral.
Whoa.
Those are some pretty strong feelings.
Contempt.
Disgust.
Is that true, B? Is that how you felt about us? Man I told you before I thought the relationship was unwise.
Where were you the night of Dante Edwards' murder? I was here Watching the game, like I told you before.
- That's a lie.
- Cay, would you tell her? Cay, would you tell this woman What do you want me to tell her? - Cay? - That you were here with me? 'Cause you wasn't.
Where were you, B? - It was only - Where the hell were you, B? before someone outed you two.
We built this together Me and you.
- I was protecting us.
- Protecting us? What, you forgot? Cuz, come on, man.
What it was like coming from nothing? This house, the cars.
Caden you don't get any of this if they know the truth about you.
I would've had Dante.
He would still be alive.
I have no idea who Frank Ambrose is.
Why would I burn down his house? I don't know.
Maybe you like starting fires.
Look, you have the wrong guy.
I didn't burn down anything.
Well, you certainly got a kick out of seeing your house in ashes.
You can't imagine how horrible we feel.
You could barely contain yourself.
Look, Laurel and I Our marriage is over.
We've been wanting to split up for months - but we were stuck in that house.
- You couldn't sell it? The value of the house had tanked.
We couldn't afford to sell it.
But now with the insurance payout, we can both go our separate ways.
Frankly, it's a relief.
Do you believe him? Yeah.
I've got a question for you.
Does your wife cheat on you? Well, uh, we've both had our share of indiscretions.
That's a yes then? - Cal? - Who's your favorite TV reporter? Is it this one? Yes, Jim.
They do think that this fire was started by the same serial arsonist.
- Mr.
Garcia.
- And the F.
B.
I.
has been brought in - Busy day? - As you can see behind me, the fire has been brought under control, and they want everyone in the neighborhood to stay in their homes.
Just doing my job.
But you didn't stay around and interview the victims.
I thought you were Mr.
Human Interest Guy.
Course, interviewing another lover whose house is in ruins could be a little awkward, right? I don't know what you're talking about.
- That's a lie.
- So what is it? You feed your ego by having sex with married women and then when they grow tired of you, you burn down their houses? I had nothing to do with either of those fires.
But you were having sex with Laurel Craig? Yeah, I thought so.
See, the thing is I believe you.
I don't think you started either one of those fires.
How long have you known about Laurel Craig? - Must've made you feel powerless.
- Excuse me? Arson's about power and in female arsonists, it's about revenge.
You're afraid that's true, aren't you? Hey? We have the F.
B.
I.
searching your home right now.
T- Tell 'em, Sarah.
Tell 'em it's not true.
I looked at all the numbers in your phone.
I looked at your e-mail.
You planned a vacation with Laurel.
You took Cheryl to a benefit.
- Honey, I - Don't! You humiliated me.
You and those women took everything from me.
So you took everything from them.
