I'm moving out.

You're moving out?

Just like that?

I can't stay with a woman

What's that supposed to mean?

Last night, I asked you if you
thought I b*rned my shop down.

You never gave me
a straight answer.

And then you acted
like I was a criminal.

Jake, I was so confused.

The police asked me my name,

I asked them
to repeat the question.

I thought you were
dead in there.

There was so much going on.

Doesn't matter
what was going on.

You wouldn't have thought for a
second that I had done that if...

If what?

If you had the same faith in me

that I have in you.

I do.

Jake.

You're wrong, I do trust you.

Don't move out.

I wish you didn't

I know you told Michael

There's no other way

Like Sam snuck in here.

No one else

Tell me something, Syd.

Have you seen Michael since
you've had lunch with him?

Have you?

No.

Damn it, Syd. You're my sister.

You're supposed
to be on my side.

Why do you keep lying to me?

Okay. I saw him.

But, I couldn't help it.

Michael keeps calling me,
he won't leave me alone.

I wanted to tell you, but
you said that if I went

anywhere near him, I'd be on
the next plane out of here.

Try and think how I feel.

I am losing a brother-in-law
who I loved and looked up to.

Oh please, you never
even gave Michael

That is not true.

It just came out about Sam,

Yep, and you have to come with
me, that's all there is to it.

Oh, Billy, I can't.

Come on, Alison, think about it.

Balmy breezes,

making love as the moonlight

streams through the open window.

Oh, that sounds incredible.

But, I'm already on thin ice

I can't just disappear.

Come on. It's only one day.

A day and a half.

You gotta come up
with a concept anyway.

Okay.

Really?

What am I gonna tell Amanda?

Make up a disease,

and then tell her
that it's contagious.

What's that for?
It's an apology.

I'm sorry about this morning.

This whole divorce
thing was getting to me.

But my lawyer has put
all my fears to rest,

and I'm a changed man now.

Oh, really? Mm-hmm.

And today after they
take my deposition,

I'm making us
dinner to celebrate.

What am I gonna do with you?

Anything you want.

Whoa, Michael. Yeah, Matt?

Listen, I've gotta talk to you.

Katya invited me over
to her house for dinner.

Oh, bring a bottle of red

No, no, Michael, I know...
I know what to bring.

Yeah, I think she wants
to get to know me better.

Oh.

Yes, yeah. Oh.

You know, that's what I think.

I don't know how to,
um, tell her that I'm gay.

Oh, Matt, I wouldn't
worry about it.

I'm sure she knows.

How?

I'm just trying to establish

a chronology of
events, Mr. Hanson.

A soft tail custom
had been in an accident.

I had the fender in a vise,
and I was working on it.

With a blowtorch.

Yes.

Then, your landlord
Amanda Woodward came by

and invited you out
for a cocktail.

Yes.

Do you normally go out for
drinks with your landlord?

She was offering me a job.

So, you closed up shop,

and left in Ms. Woodward's car.

Yes,

after I turned off the torch.

Amanda and I left together.

I locked up the shop.

Is it possible that you
didn't turn it off

all the way?

Mr. Hanson, there is
a world of difference

between premeditated arson

and accidental fire.

I'm just trying to
find out what happened.

Is it possible

Yes.

It's possible.

This entire situation
is really about.

Jane's affair with Sam Towler.

Michael, what are you saying?

Are you alleging that your
wife was having an affair

while you were still
married, Dr. Mancini?

Oh, it's not an allegation.

It's a fact.

Sam Towler... well, he was
a friend of mine.

He confessed the whole
affair about six months ago.

He and Jane had been
attracted to each other

for, well, since the
moment they met.

I guess they just
couldn't fight it anymore.

He's lying. Then it's perjury.

Let him bury himself.

No, I think deep down

I'd known how they'd
felt for years.

It's just so ironic that
the night it all started,

I was stuck at the hospital.

I was on call for
straight hours.

I was powerless to stop it.

Ugh.

Sam told me the next morning,
I couldn't blame him.

He was overwhelmed with guilt.

No.

Jane accusing me
of having an affair

is merely an attempt
to cover her own.

Uh, and it's still
going on, for the record.

Well, you know, um, as of
last week, anyway.

That's not true.
How can he do this?

How could I continue
to live with a woman,

sleep in the same bed,

knowing that another man
is touching her,

making love to her,

making a mockery of the
sanctity of our marriage?

Dr. Mancini, isn't it true
that you were, and are,

having a sexual relationship
with Dr. Kimberly Shaw?

That's ridiculous.

Dr. Shaw and I are colleagues.

Bull! He's lying!

Can't you see that?
Jane, please.

No, he is lying
about everything!

I think we need a little air.

Excuse us.

God!

I'm sorry.

I'm okay.

Quite a storyteller,
your husband.

So, does this
Sam Towler even exist?

Yeah, he's a good
friend of both of ours.

We had dinner when he was
in town six months ago.

He kissed me and,
out of guilt, told Michael.

That's it?

I hadn't seen him since,
until the other night.

He was in town again,
and we had dinner.

Why didn't you
mention this before?

Because we're just friends,
you're missing the point.

Everything Michael
said in there is a lie.

Well, then I'll have to
make sure that his lies

don't sound better
than your truth.

From now on, you're gonna
have to tell me everything.

I know trust is a tall
order right now,

but I can't have any surprises

if we're gonna win this thing.

Okay, partner?

Okay.

Honesty.

How someone treats other people,

a sense of humor,

intelligence, chemistry.

I had all that once, um,

but I made my job the priority,

and so I didn't give the
relationship the time

attention that it deserves.

me you were gay?

Why didn't you tell me

Let me tell you something.

When a man trusts a woman,

he either totally trusts
her, or he doesn't.

Women trust men in categories.

I totally trusted you.

I don't think there's a single
category you trusted me in.

Oh, Jake.

Come on, don't...

I mean, I know
I said some things

in the last few days that I
didn't say them right...

Don't even try, don't even
try, the damage is done.

I've never told anyone
I loved them before.

And when I told you that,
I meant it from my soul.

Yeah, well, I'm never
gonna go out on a limb

like that again.

I didn't want your money, Jo.

I wanted your heart.

But I don't... I think by
the time I came around,

it was so beaten and broken
by other people and things

that I didn't have
anything to do with,

it was never really yours
to give to me.

I want you... I want
you to keep your money.

Don't ever offer it to me again.

Jake.

You would not believe
these last few days.

I made up this near-death
flu to Amanda,

who I swore was
gonna call me on it,

to go to Laguna Niguel
for what I thought

was gonna be one day,
turned out to be two,

stayed in this palatial suite,

all expenses paid.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, look at
me going on and on.

What's wrong?

I blew it with Jake.

It's over.

He moved back to
his old apartment.

What? When did this happen?

Yesterday.

It seems like weeks.

Look, Jo,

a big part of Jake's
world just crumbled.

Maybe he just needs to be
alone for a little while.

He got the insurance
check yesterday,

and he gave it back to me.

He doesn't want to
open another shop.

At least not with
me as a partner.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You shoulda heard the things

that I said to him yesterday.

I mean, I may as well
have just come out

and called him an arsonist
and a wife beater.

Don't do this to yourself, Jo.

People say all kinds of
things they don't mean

under circumstances like this.

I know, and you forget it
the second you say it,

and then he's gonna remember
it for the rest of his life.

You can't take all the
blame for this yourself.

It takes two people to make
or break a relationship.

Usually, maybe, yeah.

But, in this case, it was me.

I did it, single-handedly, me.

Yes, it was me,
thank you very much.

the fat lady sings.

Not only has this fat lady sung,

she's taken her bows, gone home,

and she's in bed sleeping
right about now.

Let me tell you something.

The more money you have,
the more women trust you.

You think so? Yup.

They credit you with
a code of ethics

and characteristics
you don't even have.

They just assume you have
them because you have money.

Wanna know the worst part?

Jo honestly believed
that I was gonna hit her.

She didn't trust me
enough to know that

I wouldn't harm a
hair on her head.

Well, maybe she just
needed a little more time.

Yeah.

You say time, I say instinct.

Do you say Ca-RIB-bean

or do you say Carib-BEAN?

I say you gotta
ease up on the beers.

So, what are you gonna do now?

I don't know, all I know
is I need to make

some money fast.

Well, I'm gonna turn in.

If you need anything,
give me a call.

Great.

Um, why don't you come in?

Let's talk about it.

How 'bout tomorrow
at your office?

It's a date.
