It's all gone.

- Why do you sound excited?

- Every piece
of high-end recording equipment

has been cleared out.

Like someone knew the place
was going to burn down.

- Whoa, that's like
a telltale sign

for arson for profit, right?

- You bet your ass it is.

I'll see you in 20.

- Uh-huh. Yeah.
Yeah, I know.

Let's meet at that place Mary's
in Wicker Park.

No, yeah, I know, I know,
but it's supposed to be cool,

in like a old-timey
kind of way.

- Maybe you were right.

Maybe she's not 51 material.

- I don't know.
She's definitely a lot.

But there is
something about her.

- You wanted to see me, Chief?

- James left yesterday
without telling me.

Didn't come home last night.

This morning, I get a text

telling me that he's not going
to make it in today.

Now, I know he is burning
the candle at both ends

driving all night
trying to earn enough money

to get his own place.

And I know he's an adult who
can do his own thing, but...

But he said he wanted this job.

Now it feels...

irresponsible, if you ask me.

- Chief, wait.

[sighs] I saw the warning signs
with Gibson

and I thought I was helping him
by keeping it to myself.

I don't want to make
the same mistake again.

- Go on.

- I know where James went.

[soft music]

- Hey, thanks for coming by
on such short notice.

We just wanted to confirm
a few details about the fire.

- Whatever I can do to help.

That is Studio A control room.

- And all of the equipment
in this photo is all insured?

- Of course it was insured.

That's $200,000 worth
of equipment in that room.

The console alone
is worth almost 100.

Why are you asking me that?

I don't understand where
you're going with this.

- None of the equipment
was destroyed.

It wasn't even there,
it was removed

before the fire
burned the studio down,

which is either incredibly
lucky timing, or--

- That's impossible.

I'm the only person
who's authorized to--

♪

Oh.

You think Idid it?

You think
I moved the equipment out

and burned down my own studio

and killed my best friend
of 40 years

all to collect a couple
hundred thousand dollars

of insurance money?

Why would I do that?

- Well, we heard the studio was
having financial troubles.

- Fine.

We weren't killing it.

But I was hustling my ass off
to make that business work.

Not for myself, but for Wyatt.

- Your studio manager?

- My friend.

We've known each other
since we were in grade school.

He was my best man twice.

When he was down on his luck,
I gave him a job,

taught him the business,
tried to help him out.

Pandemic was brutal
on those two.

Wyatt was bouncing around
from job to job.

I think Jane's nail salon
struggled

ever since she opened it.

- It--
his wife owns a nail salon?

- Over on Clyburn. Why?

- Can I help you?

[tense music]

What's going on here?

- We got a warrant here
to search the premises, ma'am.

We're investigating the fire
at Canal Port Studios.

- And the death
of Wyatt Sullivan.

acetone in the back there?

- Hey, this is my business.

You can't just--

Wait, you can't just
go back there.

I--

I tried to talk him out of it,
I swear.

I knew he was
way out of his depth.

But he said he knew what
he was doing. [sniffles]

We got into so much debt
during the pandemic.

He said he could
sell this stuff

and give us a fresh start.

And it was all insured anyway,
so Billy would be OK.

Wyatt wasn't supposed to...

Not one bit.
