Help!
Help!!
Hi. I'm Maxine, and I'm an addict.
Hi, Maxine.
I haven't taken a pillin 19 months and 5 days.
But, um... but this...
These past six dayshave been really rough.
Someone died at work, and, uh...
I just have to rememberthat this, too, shall pass.
Thanks for coming.
You used that line on Naomi last night?
You figured that out fast.
I spotted you two playingtonsil hockey in your office.
Is she as good as I remember?
As a lawyer, of course.
New case for you... Leo Scarlata.
15 years into a life sentence
for torching his family's restaurant.
The fire killed one man,injured another.
Arson... Frankie will enjoy that.
I don't see how it warrantsspecial delivery.
Defense wanted to arguediminished capacity,
and the judge didn't allow it,despite Leo's IQ being only 73.
- A significant cognitive impairment.- That, it is.
That's exactly the kind of defendantthat gets bulldozed by the system.
- Right again.- Facts about the case?
Solid, but not rock solid.
Well, send the files to my office.
Just one more thing.
Meet Paul Slatkin.
He's making a documentaryabout Leo's incarceration.
And, hopefully, exoneration.It's a pleasure meeting you.
This is my cameraman... Simon.
They'll be filming your investigation.
I am not spending five days
with these gadfliesfollowing my every move.
You will if you want to work the case.
I can help.
I've been filming Leo and his family
for the past two years.
I've interviewed him,his attorneys, family members.
I can give you access to all of them.
Great! Then you can staythe hell away from Leo and me.
This will be great publicityfor the CIU.
Do you have the release?
After the Dan Harris interview meltdown,why would you even risk this?
This time, the only ass trulyon the line is Leo Scarlata's.
Even at your most self-sabotaging,
you'd never hurt someone like him.
You are so calculatingand manipulative and...
- Right?- That too.
They're gonna be here all week?
You better get your roots done.
You look like a Ken Doll with stubble.
Get to it, already.
Um, the prosecution argued
that Leo snuck intothe restaurant at 3:00 A.M.,
lit a rag, threw it in the deep fryer,
- and walked away.- Motive?
Revenge. Leo was angry at his two...
...brothers for demoting himto the kitchen,
for accidentally spillinghot tea on a customer.
Can you, uh, close that?
The... The glare is kind of...
Blinding? Who knew?
Fatality and the injured man...
either of them connected to Leo?
Errol Jordan was a homeless manwho had the bad luck
of sneaking into the basementand fell asleep.
Karl Wimer was passing by,ran in to save Jordan,
- and got severely burned.- Talk to me about the defense.
They arguedLeo grew up in the restaurant.
His parents started it,
raised him and his brothers there.
The three boys were inseparabletheir whole lives.
That didn't change 'cause ofa bunch of spilled tea.
Anthony, the youngest brother,
shared an apartment with Leo.
He testified Leo was asleepwhen the fire started.
Unfortunately,when your alibi's provided
by an adoring brother...
You have no alibi.
I'm sorry. Was I blockingthe board the whole time?
You want me to start again?
That'd be great. Thanks.
Also, the judge tied the defense's hands
by refusing to let them arguediminished capacity.
Can you explain to usthe meaning of that term?
We know what it means, you knowwhat it means. Why explain it?
For the audience.
In criminal law,"diminished capacity" means
the accused is incapable of formulating
the specific intent to commit the crime.
So that's a different argumentthan actual innocence?
Yes. It would've reducedLeo's sentence substantially.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is whatwe call "unnecessary exposition."
I'll investigate the fire.
- Could be an accident instead of arson.- Take Maxine with you.
Sam, talk to the judge abouther, uh, ruling on capacity.
Tess, get all the parasite'sinterview transcripts from the case.
I'll go talk to Leo.
Y-You're going in four differentdirections. I've only got one cameraman.
I've only got five days.You're on your own.
Let's go.
Thank you so much.
So, when would you like to doyour one-on-one interview?
Never.
It'll only be five minutes, tops.
You get to filmCIU's investigation... period.
Didn't realize you wereso traumatized by it.
By what?
Growing up in the White House,
all the cameras around all the time.
Eh...
What bothers me ishow my team acts around you.
That and your delusion.
- Delusion? In what way?
You think you're helping Leo,as opposed to exploiting him.
This is an important storythat needs to be told,
and I've been working on itfor the past two years
without seeing a dime.
But you intend to...eventually... see a dime.
Hopefully, a whole lot of dimes.
Would I like this to be the next"Making a Murderer"? Sure.
That doesn't mean I don't care.
No, just that your caring is...
financially motivated...ergo, exploitation.
I can't win with you, can I?
Feel free to stop playing the game.
Where do you think you're headed?
With you, to the prison.
They're not gonna let you in.
We have clearance to film there.
I think someone might havecalled and gotten that revoked.
Bye.
- I'm Vince.- Hayes.
My wife... Rita.
Thanks so much for looking intomy brother's case.
It means a lot to us.
Hi. I'm Hayes.
Unh.
What happened to your pants, Leo?
Clearly, some animals here stole them.
I need to hear it from him. Leo?
The guard's bringing another pair.
I-I-I don't wantto get anyone in trouble.
It's okay.
You can tell me.
The other guys got angry 'cause Iwanted to sleep with a night light.
- I don't like the dark.- Me neither.
I slept with the bathroom lighton until I was 15.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
I need to ask you some questionsabout the fire. Is that okay?
I didn't do it. I didn'thave matches or anything.
I know, but the fire started
because someone lit somethingand threw it in the deep fryer.
I would never do that. Fire's dangerous.
Well, maybe you made a mistake?
No. I always follow the rules.
Vince and Anthony and me,we grew up in that restaurant.
It's our home.
Anthony... that's your other brother?
Uh-huh. I have two brothersand my cat... Meatball.
And does Anthony comeand visit you, too?
Yes. But not with Vince and Rita.
They don't really talk anymore.
He's just a little too busycounting his money.
You... want an M&M?
Thank you.
- Judge Hinds?- Hey, do you have a minute?
This is my time, Mr. Spencer.I got to get my 10,000 steps.
I'll keep up. Leo Scarlata...we're reviewing his case.
He's got an IQ of 73, which is onthe lower end of the spectrum.
Not low enough to qualifyfor diminished capacity.
IQ tests are notoriously subjective.
Another tester might havegiven him a lower score.
Or higher.
I can appreciatewhat you're trying to do,
but regardless of his IQ,Mr. Scarlata's where he belongs.
He's getting beaten upon a regular basis in Sing Sing.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Individuals like Mr. Scarlata
don't belong in a psych facilityor on the street.
But need I remind you, a man died.
He doesn't belong in prison.
The law doesn't agree with you, Mr. Spencer.
Have a nice day.
Between the fire and the firemen putting it out,
the place was totaled.
40 years, my parentskept this place going,
and overnight, we're out of business.
That must have been devastating.
It destroyed my family.
I mean, Leo went to prison,
Vince walked away from the business.
I mean, I went from spending everywaking hour with my brothers
to hardly ever seeing them.
Looks a lot like the old place.
I kept the layout the sameas when my mom ran the kitchen,
so now when I come in in the morning,it's like I'm a kid again.
Yeah.
Well, the fire investigatorfollowed a protocol...
went from the least-burned areasto here, the most damaged.
He thought this "V" pattern on the wall
indicated a high-speed burn.
That's why he ruled arson.
And he decided the deep fryerwas the point of origin.
So, how did the fire getfrom here to the deep fryer?
Max, can you turn that fan onfor me, please?
Doesn't seem that the flamecould ever travel that far.
- No.- What does that mean?
The fire was deliberate. This was arson.
It doesn't mean that Leo started it.
Yeah, well, whoever did...
used something to ignite the blaze,
like a, uh...
like a kitchen rag.
And then he threw itinto the deep fryer.
Grease fires get smoky very fast.
The victim, Mr. Jordan, would'vewoken up in the smoky basement,
while upstairs, plumes of hot airand gas were being built up.
The door was locked.
Mr. Jordan would've screamed for help.
Our Good Samaritan, Karl,heard the screams outside, ran in.
The door to the basement was locked.
He tried to break it down but couldn't.
At that point,the fire reached flashover.
It became so intense,Karl had to give up,
but when he tried to get out,he got lost in the smoke,
finally collapsing near here,
the site of another low burn.
These bins... What was in them?
Recycling... cans, bottles,used cooking oil.
They used to be plasticinstead of metal.
Oh.
You had a hood like thisback then, right?
Yeah. It was regulationback in 2001... same as today.
If the fire started at the deep fryer,
a hood like thiswould've slowed it way down,
maybe even put it out.
What if the fire started somewhere else?
Like in a barrel of used cooking oil.
Fire went up the wall,across the ceiling,
through the vent hood,
flames shot out above the deep fryer.
No hood extinguishercould've stopped that.
Maybe the fire startedright here... the oil bins.
As opposed to the deep fryer.
Yeah.
This is where they found Karl.
Maybe Karl didn't try to save anyone,
because he's the one that set the fire.
Maybe he stayedto watch his creation burn
until it caught up with him.
So, Leo's not off the hook, but...
But our Good Samaritan surelooks like a good suspect.
You think Karl got trappedand burned by a fire he started?
Happens all the time.
Hey, where's Sam and Tess?
Still reviewing the transcriptsfrom Paul's interviews.
So far, they haven't foundanything not in the court record.
They seem bored out of their minds.
Uh, Maxine, can you tilt the screen?
I'm getting a...
Oops.
I can either film this later...
Apologies. So juvenile.
Frankie, go on.
Karl's a solid suspect.
You know, arsonists get offon being close to the flames...
...feeling the power.
What are you doing?
- Just feeling the...
- ...power.
I'm sorry.
Actually, I'm not sorry.This is fun. You want to try?
All right.
I get it.
Forget it.
You... are... a...
What was Karl's motive?
He has no record for arson or vandalism.
He doesn't have a criminal record,
but he does have a hero record.
A month before the Scarlata fire,
Karl pulled a 12-year-old girlout of heavy surf at Jones Beach.
And before that, he savedhis neighbor by administering CPR.
- Could be coincidence.- Three times in less than a year?
Either Karl is Batman...
Or there's no such thing as a hero.
Mm.
How do you like working in CIU?
It's great... very rewarding.
What about working for Hayes Morrison?
More of the same.
Sounds a bit canned,
especially since, uh,she stole your job.
It's ancient history.
All right, let's, uh, move onto more recent history.
Your last case...things ended rather tragically.
You're talking aboutGeorge Stayner's suicide?
Yes.
Is that really relevant?
I want the audience to understandthe stakes for you at this job.
Sometimes, it's literally life or death.
Has anything like thatever happened to you before?
I've been to a lot of crime scenes,
I've seen bodies, but...
actually seeing it happen...
Do you think there's anythingyou could've done differently?
- Not me, no.- You were with Maxine, right?
Yeah. There's nothingshe could've done, either.
I mean, the guy was going to prison,he knew he couldn't handle it.
Do you think she could havetried harder to talk him down?
Maxine tends to attackevery problem head-on,
which usually works for her,but, you know...
So, you think if she had beena more-skilled negotiator,
the man might still be alive?
That's not what I said.
You know what? Let's, uh...Let's back up, delete it, start again.
No. No, no. This is great stuff.
I-I'm really interestedin your take on Leo's case.
Unless, of course, you... you want me
to stop the interview?
No.
You actually think I'd risk my life
just to get my picturein the Daily News?
You didn't plan on risking your life.
Fire spread quick. You got trapped.
I got trapped becauseI ran into a burning building
when I heard someone screaming.
A building you happenedto be walking by at 3:00 A.M.?
I was in a band,our gigs would run late.
I... I'd be too amped up to sleep,
so I'd go for these long walksto wind down.
Yeah, publicity you got playing hero
must have been good for your band, huh?
Hey, what I got from "playing the hero"
was six months in a burn unit,
having my wounds debridedwith an iron brush.
I-I-I get that you believeLeo doesn't belong in prison,
but trust me...he definitely started that fire.
If you weren't there untilafter the fire started burning,
- how could you know?- Because he told me.
H-He wrote me letterswhen I was in the hospital...
said he was sorry.
He confessed.
- Look who's here.
We got our shootingcredentials restored.
Goodie!
Hi, Leo.
Leo, why did you send these lettersto Karl if you didn't start the fire?
Uh, he was hurt real bad,and I wanted him to feel better.
You said that you felt sorrythat he was hurt.
You wrote that.
I-It was really sad
what happened to him and the other guy.
When something sad happens,you're supposed to say "Sorry."
Leo, did you start the fire?
No! I told you.
Then why did you say you didn'tmean for him to get hurt?
I told you...
because I felt bad for himthat he was in the hospital.
Leo, do you know the differencebetween right and wrong?
Did you know how to turn on the stove?
My dad taught menever to play with the stove.
Someone could get hurt.
Someone did get hurt.
Leo, do you swearyou didn't start the fire?
I pinkie-swear it.
You uncovered a totally new point of origin
for the fire at the restaurant kitchen.
Is that right?
Uh... yeah.
It's pretty cool, you know,using science to uncover the truth.
Where'd your interestin all this stem from?
Oh, I got into forensics when...
...when I was locked up.
Oh, right.
You... You were incarcerated...uh, three years, Queensboro?
Yeah. Yeah, grand-theft auto.
But... But, you know,my... my cellmate, Rey,
he put me onto the "Forensic Files,"
and there was only one TV on the block,
so we kind of watchedtogether every day.
I-I got hooked.
Guess Rey helped youfind your purpose, huh?
Yeah.
I mean, without this,
who knows where I'd be right now?
He, um...
pretty much saved my life.
Damn.
Did he ever get into troublewhen you guys were growing up?
No. Nothing serious.
...a couple of kids were...
You know, kids can be jerks.
...got mad because we wouldn'tlet him in our tree house.
Damn.
You're gonna want to see this.
Found this on Paul's computer.
Uh, future reference...consent to pull it out
doesn't equal consent to stick it in.
What were you doing on Paul's computer?
Did he ever get into troublewhen you guys were growing up?
No. Nothing serious.
Pushed a couple of kids for teasing him.
You know, kids can be jerks.
Once, Leo got mad
'cause we wouldn't let himin our tree house.
We didn't want him to fall and get hurt.
He didn't understand.
Later, after we left,he set the tree house on fire.
That is a similar prior act.
More like an identical act.
Leo has a history ofstarting fires when he's angry.
Paul and Leo's brothersknew it all along.
Leo setting fire to the tree house
parallels himsetting fire to the restaurant.
It is beyond damaging,and you withheld it.
That story would neverbe allowed in court.
I don't care about the court.I care about the truth...
- Clearly, an alien concept to you.- Hayes, I think it's...
He buried footage that makes Leolook guilty... hid it from us.
Your employee stole footage from meworth thousands of dollars.
That's felony theft.
Who made that valuation... your mother?
Calm down.
Okay, look, I'm trying to help Leo
and, in the process,hundreds of others like him,
who are being railroaded by the system
because they lack the wherewithalto protect themselves.
And if you have to lie to do it...
People with intellectual disabilities
make up nearly 3%of the general population,
but it's almost triple thatin the prison population.
That's not a lie. That is a fact!
One that you're up-front withbecause it supports your agenda.
You agree with his agenda.
Noble intentions don't make it okay
to withhold informationor obscure the truth.
My job as a filmmaker
is to tell Leo's storyin an impactful way.
Giving you a free pass
to manipulate the audience,Leo, his family...
anything to ensure thatyour movie gets a happy ending
so someone buys it.
That is all you care about,
because underneath the empathyfor people like Leo,
you're a whore.
- And I'm done.- Hayes.
I choose the cases, remember?I'm unchoosing this one.
You can't do that. We had an agreement.
Then you're a whore, too.
Get that out of my face!
Vince spends his whole life
taking care of and protecting Leo
and then throws himunder the bus on-camera?
- Why?- Maybe it was an innocent slip.
No such thing.
Where's Paul?
Out buying a new camera.
What if Vince wanted to make sure
that Leo wasn't exonerated,
make sure the truth wouldn't come out?
You think Vince lit the fire,let Leo take the fall?
The insurance payout did havea lot of zeros after it.
I found something odd.
Vince didn't deposithis insurance payout.
He signed it overto Powell & Associates.
I called to ask about the transaction,
but as soon as I said I was CIU...
They hung up on you?
How'd you know?
Their business is money laundering.
They hire Ivy League attorneys
to hide money forsuperrich corporate titans.
They recruited heavilyfrom my law school.
Vince was definitely not super-rich.
I'll take care of Powell.You keep digging on Vince.
Getting right back on your horse.
Good for you!
Where are you going?
To the bathroom. I'll be right back.
Oh, actually, I might be a while.
I'm big on whole grains.
Okay.
So, what kind of cop are you?
Second-generation.
No complaints, no problems.
I'm proud of my time.
You liked being a cop. Why retire?
I was ready to move on.
You okay?
Yeah. I just...I tweaked my back last week.
Did that, uh, happen duringthe George Stayner incident?
You remember the George Staynerincident, right?
He killed himself in frontof me, so yeah, I remember.
Sam suggested you might have been able
to handle that situation better...
maybe if you'd been less aggressive.
Sam said that?
Do you feel responsiblefor what happened?
A man died that day.
I'm not interested
in helping you make thatinto entertainment.
Ms. Morrison. Glen Powell.
I know an associate of yourscalled the office.
However, we're boundby client-privacy regulations.
I'm here on a personal matter.
My co-op board
wants to restructurethe shareholder contract
to safeguard against owners
renting to the Airbnb types.
Do you know how long it would take you
to draft us a new contract?
About a week... tops.
You can't take that!
Sure I can.
Just like I'm sure I can havethe Feds crawling up your ass
in less than 10 minutes.
Money laundering is like catnipto the Justice Department.
Or you can tell me
where Vince Scarlatawas stashing his money.
Vince had the fundstransferred to Ace Den.
It's a high-roller casino...very hush-hush.
Vince was a gambler?
Not a very good one.He was in pretty deep.
That insurance payout saved his life.
You didn't tell usthe whole story, Mr. Scarlata.
What story's that?
We know about your secret.
I assume you're talking abouthis gambling debt.
That hasn't been a secretfor a long time.
That still doesn't mean youdidn't burn the restaurant down.
Wait. You think I set the fire?
That restaurant was my father'slegacy, his life's work.
I could never burn that place down.
The insurance payout'sa pretty big motive.
You think I'd let my brotherrot in prison for money?
When our parents died,
I swore I would always protect him.
So, where were you the nightthe restaurant caught fire?
The restaurant closesat 10:00 every night,
so he was home around 11:30.
And he was asleep beside mewhen we got the call about the fire.
- Are we done here?- Yeah.
That's enough.
You want to check his alibiat the building, or should I?
I don't know. Can you trust me?
What's that supposed to mean?
You never know how I'm gonnareact to a situation.
I might come across too aggressive.
I didn't mean it like that.
How did you mean it?
That's exactly what they want.
I don't give a damn who sees.
You have no idea whatthat situation was like for me.
I was right there.
George had a gun 2 feet from my face.
I didn't know if he was gonnashoot me or shoot himself.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I don't need your apology,
and I sure as hell don't need your pity.
Oh! Hold the door!
Hey. Vince's alibi checked out.
His doorman confirmed he wasat home when the fire started.
Makes Leo our prime suspect again.
Unless Vince set some kind of delayingdevice to start the fire later.
Sam, you're blocking Frankie.
- Does that help?- Could you... Nope.
Good.
Oops. I... I dropped my badge.
They annoy me.
- You can't avoid them forever.- Don't bet on it.
When I was 16, the Secret Service
changed my code namefrom "Halo" to "Houdini."
I'm guessing "Halo" was ironic?
Delayed-ignition devices... go.
There was nothingin the original reports that...
Forget about reports. Go backto the physical evidence.
I would if I could.They were destroyed in...
You ready for this...?
a fire at the NYPD evidence warehouse.
The restaurant goes upin flames, as does our case.
Maybe not.
What about Karl?I mean, he was burned in the fire,
which means there'd be trace amounts
of any chemicals consumedin that fire on his skin.
Burn units always take samplesin a suspected-arson case...
blood, hair, skin.
I'm sure they ran panels on him.
Get his records... anything youcan get your hands on.
- Mmhmm.- If we learn more about the fire,
perhaps it will help usfigure out who started it.
- All right.
Thank you.
Is Hayes Morrisoneasy to work with?
Easy? No.
Great? Yes.
She's a wild card, a force of nature...
exactly what the CIU needs.
This unit is devoted to making sure
there really is justice for all.
And that includes people withdiminished capacity, like Leo?
For everyone.
Injustice anywhere is a threatto justice everywhere.
Sounds like the sound bite of a manrunning for office in the near future.
No comment.
Any chance the U.S. Attorney'songoing investigation of you
might derail those plans?
Absolutely not.
Because they're notgoing to find anything.
I re-ran chem panels on Karl'sblood and tissue samples...
found trace amounts of triethanolamine.
What does that mean?
Triethanolamine is a common emulsifier.
It's very stable.
That's why it's in everything
from dishwashing detergent to herbicide.
I took separate tubesand mixed vegetable oil
with every item found in the restaurant
that contained triethanolamine.
In hopes that one of them willcause a chemical reaction?
Exactly.
How... long has it been?
Two hours.
How long do we wait?
Uh...
What was in that test tube?
Kitty litter.
Meatball lived in the restaurant.
Vince could have dumped the kitty litter
into the oil bin, gone home,
and the fire would've startedlong after he was gone.
Only, he was home by 11:30.
That mixture would've triggeredcombustion inside of two hours.
The fire didn't start till 3:00 A.M.
Vince's alibi still stands.
According tothe restaurant's POS system,
another passcode logged offaround 1:00 A.M.
Leo?
No... Anthony Scarlata.
Why would Anthony set up his brother?
Framing Leo would've paved the way
for him to franchise the restaurant.
He made a fortune.
Sounds like motive to me.
About the other day...
We're good.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
We know you used kitty litterand vegetable oil
to start the fire.
How would that even work?
It's easy enough to findon the Internet.
You bought kitty litter earlierthe week of the fire.
We found the charge on your credit card.
I bought it for Leo...for his cat, Meatball.
You had a cat at the restaurant?
I wanted to get rid of it,but Leo loved the damn cat.
Wait. Was it Leo's jobto empty the cat litter?
Yeah.
Oh, my God. He...
He dumped it in the wrong bin.
He... He must have made a mistake.
It was an accident.
So, I understand you went to law school,
but you're not a lawyer.
No.
Why is that?
Seems like the logical next step.
What does this have to dowith Leo's case?
I'm just trying to geta better understanding
of the people that are involvedin this investigation.
You have to pass the bar examto be a lawyer.
Well, it's a difficult exam.Lots of great students...
I was an editor on Law Reviewand graduated summa cum laude.
- There's nothing to be ashamed of.- I'm not ashamed.
Not of that.
Tess, what are you ashamed of?
I went to law schoolplanning to be a prosecutor.
I wanted to put bad guys away.
Around the time of the bar exam,
one of those bad guys was released...
exonerated by DNA.
It was a surprise to me, because...
...it was my testimonythat had put him in prison.
When I sat down to take the bar exam,
all I could see was his face...
...an innocent manwhose life I had... ruined.
I didn't answer a single question.
So instead of putting bad guysaway, you do this?
Yes.
I've never told anyone that before. I...
I guess I didn't realizethat I needed to.
Sometimes, storiesthat have tragic beginnings
have happy endings.
I have good news.
We've been able to provethe fire was an accident.
So I can go home now?
- Yes.- Not yet.
First, you need to make a statementadmitting your mistake.
Then the D.A. will file a motionthat reduces your sentence.
- My... My... My mistake?- That the fire started
because you threw the kittylitter in the wrong trash bin.
No! I didn't do that.
It's okay, Leo. It wasright beside all the other bins.
- It could've happened to anyone.- No, it didn't happen!
I-I know I'm not smart,but I-I know how to listen.
I follow the rules.
But you did clean the cat'slitter box that night, right?
Yes, but I didn't do anything wrong.
You have to say it,or you can't go home.
I-I did... I didn't do anything wrong!
I... Anthony said if I didn'ttake care of Meatball
that he'd give him away,so I did it right...
all the time!
- Leo...- All the time!
Leo, if you don't admit this mistake,
we can't legally argue with a judge
that you didn'tintentionally start the fire.
I-I followed the rules.
I'm not gonna say I didn't.
I took the stairs.
- You okay?- Never better.
For what it's worth, thank you.
You did everythinghumanly possible for Leo.
Except get him out of prison.
Wasn't your fault.
Who cares whose fault it is?Doesn't make it suck any less.
You really care about Leo, don't you?
He doesn't belong in prison.
Well, he won't budgeoff what he thinks is right.
Almost reminds me of you.
I wish I had half his heart.
D...
Do you ever stop?!
I already told you...I didn't make a mistake.
I'm not changing my mind.
Do you know...
what this is?
Oh, it's my chore chartfrom the restaurant.
From the night of the fire.
One of the rules was that you doeverything on this chart, right?
Right.
And that you do them exactlyas you were told, right?
Yes. I always follow the rules.
What about this one?
Bin "B" was the oil bin.
You put the kitty litter in here.
I don't understand.
I-I was following the rules.
We got these charts fromthe computer at the restaurant
earlier in the week of the fire.
Where does it say for youto throw away the kitty litter?
Bin "A."
But the night of the fire was different.
I was following the rules.
It's not your fault.
Leo, who used to make upthe chore charts?
That... That was Rita's job.
Oh.
Did she make a mistake, too?
The fire wasn't an accident.
You told Leo to put kitty litterin the oil bin.
You made the chore chart.You knew he'd follow it, no matter what.
No.
Rita loves Leo.She'd never use him like that.
You knew if he putthe kitty litter in the oil bin,
the restaurant would go up in flames.
Just tell her you didn't do it.
Do it.
Rita, tell her you didn't do it.
I had no idea that somebody was gonna die...
or get hurt.
I never thought that Leo'd get caught.
That restaurant was killing you.
You were never home.
You were up to your eyeballs in debt.
It always came first.
I hated what that place was doing to us.
You let Leo rot in prison for 15 years?
Vince, please...
No!
NYPD is downstairs to take you in.
Do whatever you want.
I'm done.
Leo.
I am so sorry for... for everything.
It's okay, Vince.You didn't do anything wrong.
No, he didn't.
I love you.
Both of you.
Things got a little heatedbetween you and Hayes earlier, huh?
- Par for the course.- She called you a whore.
That, she did.
Look, the thing about Hayes Morrison...
well, there's no one thing.
She's stubborn, reactionary, fearless...
at least, about the thingsmost of us are afraid of...
and brilliant.
I've never met anyone else likeher... probably never will.
And that has nothing to do withher being a former First Daughter.
