Interference

Fire can warm up cold days,

can cook food for the hungry.

But can it clean up sins?

Yes, I've sinned.

But what choice do I have now?

My name is Laura.

And I'm about to do something I really don't wanna do.

Hey.

Laura.

Something awful just happened.

I'm leaving you.

What?

- I've been offered a job in Hong Kong.

You're leaving, for how long?

Indefinitely.

What do you mean?

I already made my decision.

Wait.

Look can we at least discuss this before you leave?

No, you don't understand.

We are done. - Done?

I'll stay at Susan's.

Until I leave.

Laura.

I'll come back later to pack.

- Can you please tell me what's going on?

I just don't love you anymore.

Yes, I've sinned.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil

is for a good man to do nothing.

I am that good man.

I was that good man.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Detective Sofia Vasquez.

Nice to meet you.

You were there last night, I remember you.

Yeah.

I didn't know you two know each other.

Or that you are, sorry, Your Honor, I just started.

Marcus.

Your Honor is for judges.

Right, sir, uh, Marcus.

Soon I hear, huh?

You're gonna be a-- - Why don't you go grab me

a cup of coffee?

And one of those thingies, those, uh,

danishes with the cherries?

And don't forget the stirrer.

- Me? - Yeah.

Okay.

My pleasure.

It's good training.

And don't look at me like that, I didn't say anything.

Half the body.

I don't understand, why was was half the body burned?

- Are you sure there isn't anything you wanna tell me?

- Is there something you expect me to tell you?

I had dinner at the marina with a friend,

didn't wanna drive all the way back home, boat's closer.

What's on your mind?

- And you weren't expecting anybody?

Is that what this is about?

You think I'm having an affair?

No.

- Last night, a torched body was found

in the proximity of a prominent district attorney's boat.

The unidentified body is Caucasian.

Officers suspect Jane Doe's death may be linked

to an illegal sex trafficking in the--

Yes, I have sinned.

Quiet rage can devour a man.

It informs every act, every thought, every feeling.

It imprisons, leaving no choice.

Are you lost, my friend?

Hello Marcus.

I'm not the one who's lost.

- Congratulations on your impending judgeship.

Now you can make your crusade against me

that much more effective.

Well done.

That was quite the bonfire in front of your boat.

- Are you telling me that was you

playing the hero last night?

- Well I'm not saying I was, I'm not saying I wasn't.

- Mary, you scared me half to death.

Oh well, back to the hunt.

It's the call of the wild, you know.

- Sometimes hunters end up turning into prey.

- The body of Megan Little

was found today.

Little, the Sunrise Elementary student

mysteriously disappeared--

Hey are we getting double pay

or how's that work?

'Cause we're on both the Jane Doe

and the Little girl's case at the same time.

Hmm?

Are you gonna eat this? - No.

It's not for you.

So who's it for, then?

You married? - No.

- Ever been? - No.

- Have you had any serious relationships?

No.

- Any children? - No.

Alright.

You know what, you don't have to share

your entire life story with me

but I do think that sharing would be good for you.

You look a little clenched,

doesn't suit your complexion that well.

- I'll make sure to take your suggestion

under careful consideration.

- He must have removed everything

to make it difficult to identify her.

But surely he would know

that we could compare DNA.

Her teeth, she's not gonna be a Jane Doe forever.

Well she could be.

If nobody reports her missing.

What do you mean?

- What you gonna compare the DNA with?

Hmm.

- Why don't you go have a look around the boat?

What for?

Clues.

Hi.

Care for something to eat?

Does it come with a beer?

This your usual spot?

As of lately.

- Well, I was just wondering if you were the guy

that kept an eye on what goes on around here.

- You mean you need a full report

on the habits of the fauna of this area?

No, not really.

Maybe one or two particular specimens.

- I'm assuming you're referring to the individual

who played with matches last night and got burnt.

Yes, I am.

Did you see what happened?

No.

- You just said you saw the fire.

I said nothing of the kind.

You should pay attention to semantics.

A good education will take you a long way.

Okay well you implied.

- I became aware of the accident only after your sirens

so abruptly dislodged me from Morpheus's arms.

Nothing else?

- Someone was watching and then he ran away.

- Could you describe this person?

No.

Sure you could.

Male, female, tall, short, black, white?

It was hooded.

At any rate, it was after you guys arrived.

After we arrived?

After.

- His name is David Sheffer, Dr. David Sheffer.

I want you to find out where he was last night.

If he was anywhere near the fire.

Without making any waves.

None.

That clear?

- Hey Marcus. - Hi Dora.

- Are you gonna come read me my book?

Of course!

Hello Mary.

Hey, that's a nice book, I read that.

Did you enjoy the park today?

Yep.

I was there.

I won't say anything.

Marcus.

Okay honey it's time for bed.

Go up okay, I'll be there to tuck you in in a minute.

- Mommy are you gonna come kiss me goodnight?

- Wild horses couldn't keep me away.

So Jean is here.

And we have another guest.

Bug eyes really don't suit you, my dear.

See if you can do something about that.

Hmm.

Marcus, so nice to see you.

We thought it was about time

to put you two in the same room.

You've been traveling in the same circles

but never been formally introduced to each other, right?

Right.

And we are all friends here.

- We're all concerned about, well,

not a nice package to receive

in front of one's door, really.

Oh and in such a gruesome way.

Burnt with bare legs, it was just awful.

Mommy, you're not coming.

Excuse me.
