Daniel had been a mess since Paul Cramer's murder. In his mind, he did what he had to do by offing Cramer, but the guilt was eating a hole through him.

"Daniel... talk to me," Mark said. "I can see it in your eyes. Something is really bothering you."

"It's... this Cramer case." Daniel said. "It's going nowhere fast. We can't arrest Jen..."

"You still think she did this?" Mark said. "I really... can't believe it. That Jen could kill anyone. Even Paul Cramer."

"Paul Cramer was the scum of the earth. He deserved what he got."

"Then ease up on her," Mark said. "You don't have to pursue this so strongly."

"No, Mark!" Daniel yelled causing Mark to step back. "She did this and she is going to pay for it. She is going to pay for it for the rest of her life."

"What is... going through your head?" Mark, for the first time, was actually afraid of him. "Since when have you been so... driven about this?"

"You don't understand, Mark."

"Then tell me," Mark gently grasped Daniel's arm. "Tell me, Daniel. Help me understand. I want to understand. Trust me enough for that."

"This isn't about trust." Daniel pulled away from him. "I trust you Mark."

"Then what is it that you can't tell me?" Mark said. "Is this about protection? Are you trying to protect me from something?" Mark paused. "Or are you trying to protect yourself."

Daniel momentarily looked as if he had been caught. "What are you talking about?" he said. "You're just being emotional now."

Mark let out an exasperated laugh. "You're protecting yourself. You're so set on keeping us a secret that you're tearing yourself apart inside. God, Daniel..." Mark stepped closer, but Daniel backed away again.

"What does me going after Jen for Paul's murder have to do with any of this?" Daniel tried to rationalize.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out." Mark said calmly. "But you hiding this relationship is playing seriously into your mindset."

Daniel took a deep breath. "Can we please end this conversation?"

"No," Mark said uncharacteristically demanding. "Daniel..." he was soft, sweet again. "You're really worrying me."

"You shouldn't be worried."

"You can't even forget about Jen for one night." Mark said. "You're obsessing with this!"

"I did not... come here to get interrogated."

"This isn't an interrogation."

"Sure as hell seems like one." Daniel headed towards the door.

"Danny..." Mark said. "Where are you... Daniel." He sighed as he saw Daniel get into his car and begin to drive away.

"Oh Teddy," Daniel screeched the car to a halt, startled by the sight of Paul Cramer, who had leaned forward from the back seat. "Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. You fought til the death to keep your dirty little secret and now you're gonna end up killing him to hide the fact that you killed me."

"Shut up." Daniel yelled. "Shut up. I am not... going down for this."

"I beg to differ, Teddy boy." Paul said. "Or are you gonna kill again? You're really gonna rack up the bodies, huh? Who's next? Jen? Well of course that would mean you'd be killing your own son too... but what is it that they say?... sacrifice the many to save the few?.." Paul thought. "Close enough." He laughed. "Are you really willing to sacrifice your own kid? Think about it Teddy."

"Shut up!" Daniel said.

"Jen... Riley... maybe Mark?"

"Shut up!"

Paul laughed. "Would you really kill your lover to hide your little secret."

"I would never hurt Riley and I would never hurt Mark."

"Keep telling yourself that, Ted. Marky is already onto you and once he figures out you killed me..."

"He is not going to find out."

"I don't know. That Mark is a smart kid. And I don't know about you, but I don't think he's gonna want to hang around with a murderer."

"It was your big mouth that got you in trouble in the first place." Daniel said.

"What are you gonna do, Teddy? Kill me again?"

"You are not going to get to me." Daniel said. "You're dead. You're dead!"

"Whatever you say." Paul laughed. "Whatever you say Teddy."
