Evidence on Scott Lafferty.

The scroll

#betrayal · Dollar General

He lies on the couch and reads the Patch. Fight at Mansfield Dollar General. The comment names him. Full-length loop on the home page.

“His name is Shane Robertson”

Shoplifting arrest

The Lot · Stop & Shop

Body-worn walk in a Stop & Shop parking lot. Hands behind the back. The cruiser waits.

“You're under arrest for shoplifting.”

Into the back seat

The Lot · cruiser

Gray hoodie. Open door. The lot files itself.

Welfare check walk

The Lawn · the stoop

Officers on a private lawn, then the door. No Kelly at the address. Cuffs in the grass.

False report, welfare check

The Lawn

The overlay books him on the lawn. The grass keeps the line.

“Sir, you're under arrest for filing a false report.”

The addict at home

The Couch

Corn in the beard. Glaze on the donut. The phone in the other hand.

“I finally have good genes like Tom Sizemore!”

Living-room scream

The Couch · close

The throne, the sock, the snack, the noise. Six seconds of the file.

The holding cell

Baby boy Scotty

Orange, tied off. Red bandana. A mop. The hallway laughs while the subject kneels.

“I will wait for you, baby boy Scotty.”

Mop chorus

The Holding Cell

The mop in close. The kneel. The line that made the drop.

“I will wait for you, baby boy Scotty.”

Jealous drama

The Drama

She introduces the episode. He holds still. Hearts in the corner.

“Hi, I'm Courtney, I'm a pathological liar, and I'm having relations with my sister's husband.”
