It started with a subtle anomaly. My
0:02
home security system, which I had
0:04
painstakingly installed myself, would
0:05
inexplicably go offline. Not when I was
0:08
home, of course, but only when I was
0:10
away. A day trip to visit family, a
0:12
weekend conference, a late night at the
0:14
office. Each time, the alarm system
0:16
would report a mysterious connection
0:18
failure. When I mentioned it to a
0:21
friend, a lawyer with a sharp mind, and
0:23
an even sharper wit, he gave me a look
0:26
that said everything.
0:28
Alarm systems aren't that flaky, he
0:30
said, his voice laced with suspicion.
0:34
Don't you think it's strange that it's
0:35
offline when you're away, but never has
0:38
this issue when you're around?
0:40
The seed of doubt was planted, and it
0:43
began to grow. My wife, the person I had
0:47
trusted with my life and my home, was
0:48
the only other person with access. Was
0:51
she manually turning it off?
0:54
The thought was a bitter pill to
0:56
swallow, but I couldn't ignore it. The
0:58
next day, I went to the store and bought
1:00
a small, discrete camera. I hooked it up
1:03
to the security system itself, aiming it
1:05
directly at the hub. It was a test, a
1:09
silent accusation I was not yet ready to
1:11
voice.
1:12
I told my wife I had another day trip
1:14
planned for the following week. She
1:17
smiled, kissed me goodbye, and went
1:20
about her day. I left, but I didn't go
1:23
far. I just stayed out of sight,
1:26
watching the feed from my phone.
1:29
Sure enough, the system went offline
1:31
again, but this time I had a recording.
1:36
I watched, my heart sinking as my wife,
1:39
the woman I loved, walked over to the
1:41
system and manually disconnected it. The
1:44
visual confirmation was a punch to the
1:46
gut. The betrayal was real. I wanted to
1:50
confront her, to demand an explanation,
1:53
to unleash the torrent of anger and hurt
1:55
building inside me.
1:57
But my lawyer friend, a voice of reason
2:00
in my emotional storm, stopped me.
2:03
"No," he said, his tone firm. "You don't
2:08
have enough evidence.
2:10
You have to be patient. How could I be
2:12
patient?
2:14
How could I gather evidence if she was
2:16
just going to turn the system off?
2:19
Get a decoy," he advised, explaining his
2:22
plan. It was a brilliant, deceptive, and
2:26
completely necessary idea.
2:29
I bought a second hub for the security
2:31
system. I put the original functioning
2:34
one in a hidden spot under the counter
2:35
and out of sight. The decoy was placed
2:38
exactly where the original had been, a
2:41
perfect replica of the system she
2:42
thought she was disabling.
2:44
The next day, I told her I had another
2:47
day trip. I left, but I stayed close.
2:50
The camera feed showed her walking over
2:52
to the decoy, flipping the switch, and
2:55
walking away. But this time, the real
2:58
system hidden under the counter
3:00
continued to work. I had the system
3:02
logs. I had her, my friend, the lawyer,
3:06
told me I still didn't have enough. I
3:08
needed more than just proof of a
3:10
disabled security system. I needed proof
3:13
of what she was doing while it was off.
3:16
So, I was patient. I set up the rest of
3:19
the plan in stages, each time letting
3:22
her get away with it, each time
3:23
gathering more evidence.
3:26
I bought a small wireless camera and
3:28
placed it facing the entry door. Over
3:30
several more day trips, I discovered she
3:32
was having a guest, a man who would park
3:35
several streets over and walk to the
3:37
house.
3:38
I found his car and with the help of my
3:41
friend I learned that a GPS tracker was
3:44
the easiest way to identify him without
3:46
getting caught. I waited for the right
3:48
moment.
3:49
I told my wife I would be working in the
3:51
city 40 m away for the rest of the week.
3:55
That day the lover came over. I took a
3:58
week off from work and discreetly placed
4:00
a GPS on his car. For the next several
4:03
days, I traced his every move from my
4:05
laptop, a silent, allseeing eye. I found
4:09
his home address, and using online
4:11
property records, his name, and his
4:13
wife's name. They had been married for
4:16
17 years and had high school-aged
4:18
children. I was no longer dealing with a
4:20
simple act of infidelity. I was dealing
4:22
with a web of lies that spanned two
4:24
families. The next step was the most
4:26
painful.
4:28
I placed a wireless camera in our
4:30
bedroom only to discover they weren't
4:32
using our bed. They were using our
4:34
walk-in closet, a place I had naively
4:37
thought was a sanctuary of intimacy. The
4:40
camera captured the audio, but not the
4:42
video.
4:44
So, when she went shopping one day, I
4:46
moved the camera. The next time he came
4:49
over, I caught them in the act. Full
4:52
glory. Everything I needed.
4:56
My lawyer friend told me that even with
4:58
all of this, she would still deny it.
5:01
She would want to protect him, and in
5:03
doing so, she would deny the truth to
5:06
me.
5:07
"Your best bet," he said, "is to bundle
5:10
all this stuff together and give it to
5:13
her lover's wife anonymously.
5:16
Once this happens, the dominoes will
5:18
flow backward, and your wife will have
5:20
to come to you with a confession." I
5:22
loved the plan. It was clever,
5:24
vindictive, and it kept my hands clean.
5:27
But I wanted to do more. I wanted to
5:29
make a statement.
5:31
I took all the evidence, the camera
5:33
footage, the GPS logs, the security
5:35
system logs, the dates and times, and I
5:38
pieced them together in a movie editor.
5:41
I added context captions, creating a
5:43
detailed timeline of their affair. It
5:46
was strangely fun, a way to channel my
5:49
anger and hurt into a creative, vengeful
5:51
outlet. I added spy music, a Gershwin
5:54
tune for their romantic rendevous at the
5:56
door, and a Billy Idol rock song for the
5:58
big love scene. I even added comedy
6:01
pop-ups with thought bubbles. I was
6:04
having a blast, and I couldn't help but
6:06
wonder if I was losing my mind. But in
6:09
that moment, I wasn't just a victim. I
6:11
was a master of the game. I was a The
6:14
day came to drop off the movie. I went
6:16
to the lover's wife's house, a stranger
6:19
to her, and told her I was doing a
6:21
background investigation on her husband
6:23
for a potential new job.
6:25
I handed her the movie and left. I
6:28
didn't see the explosion, but I heard
6:30
the echo.
6:32
That evening, my wife came to me
6:34
teareyed and full of confession. I asked
6:37
her why she was telling me now. The
6:39
other wife, she said, had called her
6:41
with the information, threatening to
6:43
tell me herself if my wife didn't. My
6:46
wife, a woman who had deceived me for 4
6:48
years, was now a victim of her own
6:50
deceit. I had the presence of mind to
6:53
have my wireless camera recording. As
6:55
she confessed, I captured it all on
6:58
record. And then she gave me the bonus
7:00
information. She had been having the
7:02
affair for almost 4 years. She'd even
7:05
gotten pregnant once and miscarried and
7:08
had lied to me about the reason. It was
7:10
highly satisfying to pretend ignorance
7:12
as she confessed her heart out. I told
7:15
her I wanted her to file for divorce and
7:17
to assume she would get nothing. But I,
7:20
in my magnanimousness, would give her
7:22
something after the fact for my
7:24
goodwill.
7:26
She of course refused. She hired an
7:28
attorney who tried to get her more than
7:30
half of our assets, leaving me with all
7:32
the debt.
7:34
My attorney, armed with all the evidence
7:35
I had collected, argued she should get
7:37
nothing. He presented the evidence,
7:40
including the confession I had recorded,
7:42
and the judge sided with us. At the
7:45
hearing, the lover showed up.
7:48
I had never officially met him, but I
7:50
knew who he was. I walked up to him on a
7:53
recess break, introduced myself, and
7:57
corrected him on his fake name and his
8:00
fabricated reason for being there.
8:03
The look on his face was priceless. He
8:06
and his wife divorced, and she, armed
8:08
with the information I had provided,
8:11
took the lion's share of their assets.
8:13
Sometime later, I ran into her at the
8:15
supermarket. She cornered me in the
8:17
dairy section, a ry smile on her face.
8:20
"You dropped off some valuable
8:22
information with me not too long ago,"
8:24
she said. We talked for a few moments,
8:27
and I confessed who I was. She thanked
8:29
me for my patience, for my self-control
8:31
and for getting the evidence to stick.
8:34
That evening, my ex-wife called a
8:37
furious, venomous voice on the other end
8:39
of the line. She had found out about my
8:41
involvement, and she was livid. She had
8:44
believed my cover story about the
8:46
investigator, but the lover and his
8:47
ex-wife had put the pieces together. I
8:50
just laughed. "So what?" I said, "You
8:53
confessed to me. I didn't have to play
8:56
bad cop. The writing was on the wall and
8:59
you knew it. She said, "No, if I had
9:02
known, I would not have confessed."
9:04
"Exactly," I said. "I got what I wanted
9:06
in the only way I could have gotten it,
9:08
and frankly, I had a blast doing it." I
9:11
hung up, a sense of finality washing
9:14
over me. The game was over and I had
9:16
won.
