Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : [knocking] Mr. Roe? Mr. Short? This is the FBI.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : [sees Aaron Roe's body] We got a body on the floor in here.
[They enter, find Mike Short dead in his room. A gun lies nearby his body]
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : It's a suicide.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : [Compares picture from his phone] It's him. That's Esme's stalker.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : When he caught Aaron turning him in, he knew he'd go down for being too close to an elementary school. The only thing worse than death for a pedophile is the prospect of prison.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : [stoic but upset] Hence the murder-suicide.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : It's not your fault, Jess.

Mindy Thornton : Just watch the movie, guys, and I'll be right out here. Let me know if you need anything. Sorry. Sonny asked me to keep the kids here until the press dies down. They don't like letting me out of their sight.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : We understand.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Can you tell us about Esme and Sonny?
Mindy Thornton : Their marriage had its ups and downs. More downs than ups, especially after Sonny retired.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : That's right when your sister's career really kicked off. Was Sonny ever jealous?
Mindy Thornton : I don't know. He'd gone inward the last few years, spending less time at home, more nights in the city. Esme said when she'd pressed him about it, he lashed out.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Physically?
Mindy Thornton : He never hit her, but he developed a temper.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Developed. So this was new?
Mindy Thornton : They have this saying in pro ball, "Every athlete dies twice. "Once when he takes his last breath, and once when he retires."
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : So was Esme hopeful their marriage would improve when he returned to basketball?
Mindy Thornton : It already did. The day he started training for his comeback last summer? Esme christened it their new anniversary date.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : So Sonny was a new man?
Mindy Thornton : Completely. Every day was a new bouquet of roses or piece of jewelry. Esme didn't wear any of it, of course, but still...
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : [confused] What do you mean?
Mindy Thornton : She stopped wearing jewelry years ago.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Even her wedding ring?
Mindy Thornton : Especially that. Kim Kardashian was a friend. Her Paris robbery gave Esme a wake-up call. She started keeping all her jewelry in her bedroom safe.

Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Hana just spoke with Becca. She confirmed that Esme was not wearing her wedding ring the night of her birthday.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Then how did Doug steal the wedding ring off her finger a few hours later?
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Someone put it there for him to find.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Just because Sonny has access to the safe doesn't mean he killed Esme.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : When we spoke, Sonny said Esme wore her ring every day. Why would he lie about that? Why force us to track down a ring that he knew Esme never wore?
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Maybe he was framing Doug.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Okay, so he kills her, calls Doug to clean the scene making it look like a robbery. Tells him to take the ring as payment knowing that he'd pawn it and we would track it down. Is that what you're saying?
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : I reviewed the security footage myself. Sonny didn't leave the hotel after 11:28 that night.

Becca Shaw : [crying] Sure, I can be a little extra sometimes, but I just... I wanted to cheer Esme up, help her let loose a little. Oh, my God. Crying on your birthday really is bad luck.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Were she and Sonny having problems?
Becca Shaw : No way. They were having this, like, second honeymoon phase. When we got to her house, it looked like a frickin' florist's.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : And she wasn't upset not to have him there?
Becca Shaw : She knew better than anybody that birthdays happen every year, but Sonny's big comeback? That's once in a lifetime.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Why wasn't she at his game?
Becca Shaw : Oh, she stopped going to his games before he retired. It's that stupid Kate Upton curse.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : So you're saying fans were blaming Esme for Sonny's slump?
Becca Shaw : For his slump, for his retirement, every time he missed a layup. Sonny felt terrible about it, but Esme, she was such a sport. She said that the seats in their home theater were comfier than courtside anyway.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : And what upset her last night?
Becca Shaw : She'd gotten into this confrontation in the carpool line yesterday morning. This creep was taking pictures of her.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Doesn't paparazzi kinda come with the territory?
Becca Shaw : Yeah, but this was different. It wasn't the first time this guy had harassed her. And then he showed up at her kid's school, and she was so freaked.
