“The RF wouldn’t pick up a tape recorder,” Frank states. “We’ll need to do another RF and manual sweep of the houses.”

“What were you doing in my room the day you ran into Shelby?” Mav asks.

“I tried to add another recorder, but your whore was lounging around in the living room,” she says.

“She’s not a whore,” Luke reprimands.

Mr. Scott holds up his hand for quiet.

“Why would you do this to me?” Chad’s whole body slumps.

“Do you understand what it’s like being married to you? I hate it, and I hate you. You never want to leave this place and go anywhere.” Katherine sounds like she’s whining, even in a monotone voice.

“My responsibility isn’t only for you and the boys, but also for my employees. A lot of people count on me,” he snaps back. “You knew this when you married me.”

“You love your work more than me. It’s why I’ve been cheating on you for years,” she says.

“Bring her back out,” Chad demands.

“One more question.” Dom places his hand on his dad’s shoulder. “Where is Roger hiding?”

“He didn’t tell me,” Katherine states.

“Okay. Mr. Scott, bring her out.” Dom nods.

When she comes out, she turns and looks at Chad.

“Leave my house. You have ten minutes to collect your shit before I send Frank after you.” Chad points to the door.

“Good luck trying to prove anything.” She lifts her chin. “What I say under hypnosis won’t be admissible in court.”

“You’re wrong, Mrs. Knight. I’ve been to court many times, just not in a situation like this,” Mr. Scott says.

“Plus, we taped it as a backup.” Mav waves his phone.

“Your time is counting down, Katherine,” Chad states. “And don’t think about taking any jewelry. It’s mine per the prenup.”

She screams as she storms out of the room.

“I better go make sure she listens.” Frank follows behind her.

“I’m sorry, boys. I can’t believe I didn’t see what a vindictive bitch she was.” He runs his hand through his hair.

“It’s all right, Dad. We turned out fine.” Mav throws his arm around Dom, who shrugs at his dad.

“We’ll see Mr. Scott out,” Nick mentions.

Chad stands up and shakes his hand, thanking him before he sits beside Mav and Dom on the couch, talking quietly.

Luke, Cam, and I walk over to join the others.

“How did it go?” Cin asks from the couch where she waited during the questioning.

Nick comes back in from walking Mr. Scott out. He holds up his hand for a second, pulling his phone out before dialing someone. We remain quiet as we wait.

“We good?” Nick asks before he nods and hangs up. “I wanted to make sure Frank had a few of his guys sweep the rooms again.”

“Yeah, they left about five minutes ago,” Cin says.
