* {{Irony}}: The ConsummateLiar calls it "the story of my life" that the one time he's been truthful, that he was in his apartment located near the mob hit but hadn't actually seen anything, is what's gotten him in trouble and will lead to a perjury charge even after the mob is dealt with.

* {{Irony}}: The ConsummateLiar calls it "the story of my life" that the one time he's been truthful, that he was in his apartment located near the mob hit but hadn't actually seen anything, anything (stating that he had only because the police were eager to close the case and believed he ''must'' have seen ''something''), is what's gotten him in trouble and will lead to a perjury charge even after the mob is dealt with.

Added DiffLines:

Ray and Fraser are transporting a prisoner to hand him over to the Canadian authorities. He came forward as a witness in a mob hit, but then claimed he didn't see anything when he was in court. As a result, both the authorities and the mob want him for what he knows. The biggest problem is that he is a compulsive liar, and nobody knows whether he's lying about having witnessed the hit or about not having witnessed it.
