Hey, what do you got, razor blades and these things? These cuffs are killing

Yeah, sure, sure, pick on the little guy. You think I don't have recourse?

listen, we're called to the ACLU and they'll have you for lunch. You could

made this easy for yourself, big tiny three.

Wait,

no way, I can't ride back here. I get car sick.

Well, then you should have run.

That way I could have shot you and you wouldn't have to ride. Listen, I'm

telling you, man, I'm going to lose it back here.

I get car sick.

We're not even moving yet.

Hey, listen, I don't deserve to be treated like this without a scrap of

dignity. I think you're being treated pretty good for someone who just stole

$700 ,000 worth of jewelry, big tiny.

You think that's so smart?

No, I think it just magically appeared.

Hey, listen,

I'm the victim of a conspiracy.

And I'm the tin man. Shut up.

Oh, boy!

You trying to make him hurl or me?

I just want to make sure whoever's following us is following us.

Friends of Big Tiny?

Ah, friends, enemies, something. Hey, Big Tiny, who else is after your ass?

no! Too late!

You bastard!

I've worked with the governor, but we didn't check my ideas.

It's my shirt pocket.

Jim Edwards.

We've got the governor's people staff.

I need to talk to you, Captain. You ever hear of a telephone?

Don't pay any attention to him. He's about to die in a minute. He's in my

This is a matter of extreme urgency and the utmost secrecy.

I couldn't use the phone, not about this.

All right, you got my attention. Talk.

The governor...

What do you mean? Is he being kidnapped?

No, he's being blackmailed and he's gone underground. Somewhere in San

Francisco. I need you to find him quietly, quickly, and confidentially.

Now will you do it?

No, I didn't even vote for him.

Start from the beginning.

Okay, well, the governor disappeared two days ago.

Why? I told you, blackmail.

Okay, who's blackmailing you?

Well, it can only be one person. It's Lieutenant Governor Melvin Wexler.

Oh, Mel, huh? I understand you knew him when he was police commissioner?

Yeah, I knew him. From what I understand, you weren't the best of

What else did you hear?

Well, among other things, that he tried to kill the SIU because he didn't like

the way you ran your shop.

I also know he failed.

The man's done his homework.

If he has.

are probably also another Wexler's fat cat friends bought in the election.

Now they're trying to conspire against him and discover and destroy him.

I mean, it's a coup d 'etat. I mean, it's plain and simple.

Well, it doesn't sound so simple to me.

So what do they got on him?

Well, I mean, the guy's got a mistress.

Yeah? So?

Yeah, right. Well, from what I understand, it's a bit more complicated

that, but I mean, I don't know the details.

It's just, it's an accountability issue. I mean, she's a student, but I mean,

she lives down at the marina. That's all I know.

Anybody know her?

Well, I mean, you can speak to his wife, Marsha.

They have an understanding.

Okay, we'll check it out.

Okay, thank you. Thank you, Captain.

Don't thank me, Bubba. My instincts are telling me you're going to be less than

happy with what I find.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is a boat.

No, no, no, no. Technically, this is a barge. Yeah, but I get seasick. I can't

go on this.

We'll get you some Dramamine.

And a bucket. Yes, just because you've got a boat and you're attacking, you

think you can push me around?

Ow! Tiny, you're depriving some village somewhere of its rightful idiot.

Ronnie, take this gentleman up to our best sell. I ain't going!

I ain't going! Hey, this is cruel and unusual!

Only if he drops you.

Uh, Harv, Evan.

Yeah.

I've got a rather

interesting missing persons case oh yeah that would be the governor of

california my this is on a need -to -know basis and that means just us four

guy edwards is his chief of staff let's start with the governor's phone records

and his credit cards let's see where he's been and good morning good morning

what uh what was that little powwow all about what powwow

Come on, you guys couldn't do a worse job of concealing that you're trying to

cover up something.

Maybe we're up to nothing.

You know, maybe we're just pretending to be up to something to throw you off the

trail. Yeah, that's funny. Come on.

Come on.

What, you're really not going to tell me?

Yep. Oh, good, so you are going to tell me. Nope.

As if I couldn't find out.

What was that? Was that a snicker, Joe? You snickering at me?

No, no, that was a take your best shot, Miss Cross.

Oh, you sure you want to make that challenge?

Miss Cross, whatever blows your skirt up, you take your best shot, I'll take

mine, and I'll see you on the other side.

Ouch.

You don't actually think she's going to find out, do you? Well, but she's a hell

of a lot better than anybody gives her credit for.

She's not better than me.

Meaning what?

Meaning we're already into something and I don't like it.

Hmm, Wexler.

Smells like a grab for power, except it's too obvious a move for him.

Something else has got to be going on.

Well, look on the bright side.

If we can't figure it out, maybe Caitlin can.

Really? Oh, by the way, I've got to leave work early tonight. The Tufnel

is having their annual auction and dinner.

Oh, now, boy, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Well, it's an important event in your goddaughter's educational experience

And how is that?

You know Paul Stevens?

Oh, the skyscraper on Sutro? Yeah.

Well, he and his wife are going out of town, and they want us to bid on an

auction item for them.

Bruh, bro.

I smell a scheme.

Well, Paul Stevens is a head of board of the trustees of Bickford Academy.

That's the school we want Lucia to go into next.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You buy the auction item. He owes you a favor.

Lucia gets to go to Bickford when she's 12.

Hey, you're a smart feller.

Don't rest on me, baby.

Nice house.

Um, Mrs. Morgan?

Yes? I'm Captain Bridges. This is Inspector Dominguez, SFPD.

This is Frances.

She's friendly.

Hi, Frances.

Can we talk to you for a minute?

Well, I guess.

All right. We're looking for your husband, ma 'am. He's disappeared.

What's happened?

Well, we're not sure anything's happened yet.

But, um...

Jim Edwards seems to think that your husband has disappeared on his own. In

case, we were told that you might be able to help us locate a friend of his.

You mean his girlfriend?

Don't be embarrassed, I'm certainly not.

Frank was always more concerned about our arrangement becoming public than I

was.

I'm not in the judgment business. I just want to find it.

Her name is Julia Clark.

She goes to law school with Mayor Holt. I think she lives in the marina. I've

met her. She's quite a nice girl.

Very sweet. Very bright girl.

She'll fill the need.

Julia Clark.

Yes,

thank you. Bye, Frances.

Captain, should I be worried?

No, I don't think so. But, you know, now that I think of it, if you hear from

him, I'd like to hear from you.

Okay? Thanks.

The governor's wife likes his mistress. Is that a good sign?

Uh, for who?

Yes? Barb, Julia Clark.

She goes to law school at Meyer Holds and lives in the marina. Can you find

Uh, as a matter of fact.

Uh, what about the governor's phone records and credit cards? Did you get

Uh, yeah.

Uh, it's Caitlin.

She's standing right there. Here's a check.

No. All right, call me back when you got some.

Bye -bye.

Harvey, Harvey, Harvey, Harvey.

You know, you might as well tell me what's going on, because I'm going to

out anyway.

Well... Come on, it's what I do. I find things out.

It raises all sorts of loyalty issues for me, Caitlin. I don't like to be in

middle of this, okay?

Fine. Why don't you just come on over to my side?

Very enticing.

But thanks, all the same.

We have a family funeral to go to, otherwise we'd never miss it.

Kristen put so much time into the kids' project, you just can't imagine not

having it. Well, we're really happy to help you out, all right, honey? Oh, yes,

of course.

Great. You don't know how much this means to us.

Uh, Paul, how much do you want me to spend on this?

Oh, whatever it takes.

It's a school project. What could it cost, right?

Just don't come home without it.

Kristen will kill me.

Uh, consider it yours.

Thank you.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye. Thank you so much.

Bye -bye now.

Blank check.

Vegas? All right.

Yes, I need to know how many days the governor has to be gone before the

lieutenant governor takes over his duties.

Yes, under the Constitution.

Terrific. Get back to me. Thank you.

Cell phone, huh?

You know, you have a perfectly good telephone on your desk downstairs.

Which you probably have bugged.

Thought of a wager for a little bet.

Oh, you did, did you?

And that would be?

Open -ended. You win, you get anything you want. If I win, I get anything I

want. Anything?

Anything. The mind boggles.

Yes, ma 'am. Got a visitor.

Well, I just want you to know that we're going to have to go public.

More later.

Melvin Wexler.

Ashbridge. It's been a while.

Not long enough.

I'm willing to bury the hatchet, Nash, if you are.

I'm not.

No rumor has it that you're looking for the government.

Really? I hadn't heard that one. Well, I just want you to know that you've got

my full support.

Gee, that's nice to know, Melvin.

You know, at some point, we're going to have to go public with this, Bridges.

The state won't run without a head of state.

Well, thanks for the civics lesson, Melvin.

I've got to get back to work.

Dan? Yeah?

I haven't been able to find Julia Clark yet, but I did find out a little

something about her.

All right, let the other shoe drop. She's been arrested for prostitution

and on each occasion, she was bailed out by Owen Glassman, high -priced lawyer

for Annie Lindsay.

Well, now we know the governor's mistress is a call girl. Now we're

I went to her last known address. No esta en casa, no forwarding info.

We know where Annie is.

You want me to sniff around?

I'll try. I'll have a look.

When you go off the menu, there are additional charges.

Great. Then what time and what's your room number? Can I help you, gentlemen?

Yeah, here to see Annie.

First you talk to me.

Nah, first we talk to Annie, and then, if you're lucky, we don't talk to you.

It's okay, we know the way.

Hello. Hi, darling.

Baba.

I'm time to see.

How's the water?

Perfect. Want to join me? Well, yeah, you know, I always love to, but I don't

have time this time.

Hello, Joe.

Oh, hi.

How's business?

The agent Christ is killing the high -end stuff, but we're making do.

Becky, get something to drink for our friends here.

It's okay, Becky.

We can't stay that long. Next time. Okay.

Julia Clark.

We need to talk to her.

She does work for you, doesn't she?

That's not part of our arrangement, Nash. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Here's our arrangement.

You give me information, and in return, I let you provide escort services and...

Companionship for the lonely.

I'll give you information on clients, not my girls.

You can't change the rules in the middle of the game.

Plus, I think you're going to want to do this.

Julia's in a tight spot.

Drop your coat.

Harvey, let me ask you something.

You ever called an escort service? What for?

Hold on, Harvey. It hasn't been that long, has it?

Why? You got one you want to recommend?

No, but this girl in my building, right, she works for Annie Lindsay.

No, who?

You met her, Carol, med student.

No way.

Way. That's one of Lindsay's deals, you know. She hires these college girls,

college escorts. How progressive. You telling me you were involved with one of

Annie's girls?

No, no. I mean, Cassidy, I mean.

No, no, no, no, no. I don't want to know.

Whoa, whoa.

That doesn't look right. That looks like our girl. Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

That's on your head.

Put your hands on it like that.

Thank you.

Is your name Julia?

Yes.

Wow.

You guys are good. I didn't even dial 911.

Yeah, well, the night's still young. Come on.

The governor called me two days ago.

He was devastated someone found out about us and told him the truth about

The truth?

Yeah, that I used to work for Annie.

He didn't know?

It was one day a week.

I'm putting myself through law school.

Give me a break. Does every hooker and stripper in America use that line? It's

the truth. You want me to make something up?

I smell a budding female lawyer here.

All right, let's get back to the governor. Where'd you meet him?

At a political function about four months ago.

We've been together ever since.

Never suspected you were trying tricks?

After we met, I retired.

From law school.

Let's stay focused here.

The last time you spoke to the governor, what exactly did he say to you?

He said he was disappointed in me and that he needed time to sort things out.

He said he'd contact me when he figured out what he was going to do.

And how was he going to contact you?

My pager.

We have a code.

These men that came to your apartment, did you ever see them before?

No, they said they worked for him. I let them in. Am I under arrest?

No.

But I am going to ask you to stay here.

Okay?

Rachel?

Would you make yourself comfortable, please? Oh, and if an attractive

policewoman with auburn hair comes up and starts asking you questions, pretend

you're mute.

Ray Garland, our would -be kidnapper? Not much help. Not only is he a couple

cans shy of a six -pack, he's missing the plastic thingy as well.

What's his story? He claims he was a hired hand, met his partner Jack Jones

Red's Java Hut over breakfast, went along with Jack for the promise of 200

bucks. Had no idea this was a kidnapping gig.

Any idea we could find this Mr. Jack Jones?

Red's Java Hut. Apparently his breakfasts are every morning. All right,

out. We'll go early, Ev. Get some of Red's banana pancakes.

Oh, God, the auction.

Inger's gonna kill me. I gotta go.

You okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah, why?

Just checking on you.

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, just the man I wanted to see.

Oh, yeah, I'd love to talk, but I'm really late. It would only take one

I don't even have half a minute. You know, you might as well tell me what's

going on, because I am this close to finding out anyway.

Well, if you're so close, I don't need to tell you that, do I? You know, this

woman, Julia Clark, is it? Is that right? Huh?

I bet if she had anything to do with the case, you wouldn't tell me anyway,

would you?

No, I wouldn't. Yeah, it figures. Your allegiance to Nash is that blind.

Compared to you?

Look, I hate to be rude, but I have to go.

You know, it's really interesting for two guys who aren't gay. You certainly

have a very close relationship.

I'm really flattered.

See ya.

Okay, Joe.

Just one more thing, okay? Since you are closer to him than anybody else, why is

there this weird thing between him and I?

Better ask yourself that thing, question.

On this next item, I want everyone to see.

This was made by our preschoolers. It is a plaster of parents with all the

children's hands painted and mounted in this beautiful frame.

And I understand that a special thanks need to go out to Kristen Stevens and

Claire Martin, our class mothers.

Thank you very much. Sure, where can you paint? Who's missing? The class project

is the next item up.

The Martin's are right behind us. And over there are the Langston Eustace.

They all want the project.

They all just love them that much. We are going to start the bidding on this

item. At $2 ,000.

In fact, Claire Martin is going to start the bidding at $2 ,000.

Now, do I hear three?

Jack Allstat is in for three. Do I hear four?

$5 ,000 from Jamie Lang. Thank you very much. That's a wonderful contribution to

our school. Do I hear six?

Claire Martin is in for six.

Do I hear seven?

Seven from anyone? Seven.

Seven. Oh.

We have seven from Joe Dominguez right over here. Well, thank you very much. Do

I hear eight?

Eight thousand?

Ten. Ah, the Martins have raised their bid to $10 ,000. Well, thank you.

be a fabulous contribution to our school, the project. But wait, is that

Joe?

$15 ,000 from the Dominguez's.

Well, uh...

Thank you. Do I hear 16?

16. 16 ,000 from the Martins. Do I hear 17?

17 ,000.

Back to the Dominguez's.

18. 18. 18. Back to the Martins. Joe, stop.

19. Anyone?

19 from Joe Dominguez.

The Martins have raised their bid to $20 ,000. Ladies and gentlemen, do I hear

21?

Yes. Joe Dominguez just made a bid for $21 ,000.

Martin? No?

Well, going once, going twice.

Sold to Joe and Inga Dominguez for $21 ,000. Let's give them a big hand,

everybody. Thank you.

Wow.

You spent $21 ,000 on a preschool art project?

We said whatever it takes. That's what it took.

Good God, man. I meant within reason.

Hey, Paul, we're doing you a favor. I mean, if you're not happy with the

you should have given me a figure. I'm sorry.

Not half as sorry as I am. I hope you enjoy your artwork.

Excuse me? I don't want it.

You paid for it.

I gave you a check. I'll be stopping payment on it. You've been on the

You own it. Hey, wait a minute. It'll look great on your mantle.

I have a solution for you. Now what?

Why don't you sell the project to the Martins for the original 20 grand?

out a grand. You make that a tax -deductible donation to the school.

That's a good idea.

That's very good.

Thank you very much. Guys, Julia just got a page from the governor. He wants

meet. Maybe he's tired of this blackmail scam.

All right. Go with her and bring him back.

You meet here, huh?

Occasionally. Why?

You know what? Why don't you stay in the car?

He told me to meet him alone.

Stay in the car.

Or you wouldn't have wasted all those bullets on us.

You got 100 % chance of losing here, pal. Now, come on. Put the gun down.

You put it down. Put the gun down.

Now.

Attaboy. Attaboy. Cover me, hon. Cover me. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

What have we got here, huh?

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil?

Sit your ass down.

We're like the three deaf, dumb, and blind mice.

Which one of you clowns is going to help yourself today, huh?

Anybody?

Maybe they don't want to talk in front of each other, Harf.

Ronnie, stick this meathead in lockup. Ray, you're going topside. Let's go,

guys.

Oh, Jack, this was yours.

It's delicious.

Okay, Jack, here's the deal.

We are going to hang somebody today.

Now, we got you on battery, kidnapping, and attempted murder.

Attempted murder.

All I did was pick up a chick. Somebody, you ain't got what?

Give it another half hour. I'm guessing he's going to be more willing to talk

after he's had time to imagine the worst.

Oh,

baby.

You lost?

Steve is looking for a little fun.

And I mean little in the best sense of the word.

Well, actually, I'm an internal affairs officer. I work out of this division.

And I understand that you...

Have a little motion sickness problem.

Damn straight.

Well, how'd you like some fresh air?

Hey, finally some respect.

What about me?

Oh, why don't you worry about it, Ray?

It is Ray, right?

Yeah. I want to talk to you, too.

All right, Johnny, the loser, he goes downtown.

Then you can cut those other guys loose.

Are you going to take my statement or what?

No, that's okay. We got what we needed from the other two guys, but that's all

right. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You can't let them go.

Oh, sure we can. Hey, piece of advice for next time.

Be nice to your fellow meatheads. They trashed you, brother.

I just met the retard. I don't even know the other guy.

You know what?

Retard's not a very nice word. You know that? There's something that you're not

cluing into here.

You understand?

We don't need you. So have a good time at San Quentin.

Try me.

What was that?

Try me.

I could give you names, dates, people. I think it's worth your while to listen.

Ah, Jack.

We're listening.

Annie Lindsay sent me to grab the bitch.

And why would that be?

She screwed up with the governor or something.

So,

you ready to talk?

Can I sit on your lap?

You know, we're trying to save your life.

What? You didn't fall in love with the governor.

Annie Lindsay set you up. I did fall in love with him. But it was a set -up. No,

I... Julia.

Okay. Yeah, at first.

Why?

She offered me $10 ,000 to seduce him.

I thought it was way out of turning tricks. I didn't ask any questions.

Then I got to know him. I gave the money back.

You can ask her. I gave the money back.

We got a hit on the governor's calling card. Phone booth, 46th and Lawton, 40

minutes ago.

Beautiful. Bring Annie Lindsay in here.

Venture into the den of inequity if I must.

You believe me, don't you?

Yes.

Don't go anywhere.

Now there's the phone.

How lucky would it have to be for him to be inside?

Lucky?

Hey, uh, that bulletproof glass, you know, that lock is tempered steel. You

couldn't even get in here with the jaws of life.

I got the cops on speed dial. They're here in two minutes.

Bubba, we are the cops.

Now, come on, get out of there. Come out here and talk to us.

That's okay.

Talk from there. All right, all right, fine.

Calm down. We'll talk from here.

Did you see a guy come out here and use that phone within the last hour?

Just some sort of trick or something?

It's a question.

Answer it. Come on.

Yes.

Can you give us a description of him?

Did he look like the governor?

Um, how should I know?

That's his picture.

That's him.

The governor of California?

Yeah, that's the guy. He was in here. He bought some groceries.

You're kidding me.

That's the governor?

Of California?

Yeah, no kidding. Listen, did you get a license plate number or a model of his

car, the color of his car?

Oh, no, he didn't have a car. He was on foot.

Carried his groceries and walked off.

Up the street.

Well, he's holed up around here somewhere.

Want some coffee?

Yeah. I think that's what it is.

That's how you, Inspector Cortez.

Did you find Annie Lindsay?

Oh, well, actually, she... here and she's waiting for her lawyer. Apparently

he's in court with a more important client.

But she doesn't seem too happy, Nash. Well, she's about to become his number

client. In the meantime, I want you to do a door -to -door search for a five

-block radius from Amir's Superstore at Leavenworth and Pine.

Check every hotel and motel and flop house in the area.

Also ask Julia if the governor ever used an alias when he was with her. Right,

right. I'll rally the troops.

Got it.

Hi there.

Coffee?

Honey.

Fresh.

Well, kind of fresh. We just got it. No, thanks.

More for me.

So, what's up?

What's up? What do you mean, what's up?

Well, what's up? Like what I said, I mean, you've been following us since we

left the SIU. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. As if I have nothing better to

Well, we just wanted to check on you, see if we could do anything for you

that electric car of yours runs out of juice.

Oh, well, thank you. I'm fine. Watching you two chase your tails around doesn't

use up that much electricity.

Really.

Can't stand it, can you?

No. See, you can't stand the fact that I'm going to win our little bet.

You're not even close, sister.

If you were, you wouldn't be following us around.

You are engaged in a clandestine investigation that involves the

chief of staff, a motley bunch of second -rate thugs, and a very well -known San

Francisco madam named Annie Lindsay.

Now, since I have yet to see the governor, I figure that he disappeared

you've been enlisted to find him.

And I assume that this is politically sensitive, hence the secrecy. Now,

just the broad strokes.

Shall I go on?

I didn't tell her anything.

Tell him I didn't tell you anything.

No, you didn't tell me.

I also figure the only reason you let Annie Lindsay run her business is

the occasional information she gives you is a lot more valuable than the

satisfaction you get of throwing her in jail.

But, Nash, see, that's the difference between you and me.

But if I were you and I was looking for the governor, I would start with her.

See you later.

Well, I wish you lost the bet.

Nah. What do you mean? She knows everything. She knows what? She doesn't

who or why, and neither do we.

Kevin. Annie Lindsay.

I want, you know, a little bet.

Oh, not quite, Miss Cross. It's not over yet.

Wait a minute. The bet wasn't that I would solve it. It's that I would figure

out what's going on.

Are you gloating, Miss Cross?

Yeah, a little.

All right. What do you want?

I haven't decided yet.

It's going to take me a little while to figure it out.

Well, just take your time. I know you'll come up with something.

Look how cute you look in your natural habitat.

You are violating our arrangement.

We're way past that happy little arrangement, darling.

The best way for you is to save yourself and tell me what this has to do with

the governor.

I don't know.

Yes, you do.

Nash, I'm going to tell you something, and you're just going to have to trust

me.

There's things I can't tell you for your own good.

Sorry.

Nash, talk to you for a minute? Sure, what's up?

Now, I know this probably doesn't have anything to do with anything. Well,

it does.

All right, I'm listening.

I used to know this girl, right?

Well, actually, I knew her for a while.

It turns out that she was one of Annie Lindsay's girls.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

Now that Cassidy and I are back together, I have no contact with this

whatsoever.

But when we were broken up, I went and hung out with her once.

I mean, one time, I swear.

I'm not liking what I'm hearing.

I'm not liking what I'm saying, but it turns out she was seeing this other guy.

No, I'm really not liking it.

Well, I get this call one night, right? And she claims that she's pregnant. And

she says it's either me or this other guy.

So I went out the next day and I had a test done. And it wasn't me. And I even

used a condom.

Tell me again why we're having this conversation.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, Nash, the other guy is the lieutenant governor.

Okay. Thank you, Evan.

We're going to deal with this after we find the governor.

Fair enough.

I put up 10 grand. You are the lieutenant governor.

Bubba, I think you know me better than that.

Dominguez. Hey, how you doing?

I'm glad I ran into you.

You know, Inger and I have been thinking, and, you know, it's just not

losing our friends over this school hand project, you know. So, well, we've

worked it out with the Stephens, and I'm glad to tell you the project is all

yours.

I don't follow.

Well, it's great. We're going to let you have it for your $20 ,000 bid.

$20 ,000?

Yeah. Well, I mean, I'll cover the other grand. I mean, you know, it's for a

good cause, you know, the school and everything, right?

If you think I'm going to fork over $20 ,000 for that project, you're a loopier

than I thought.

I'll tell you what. I'll give you what I think it's worth.

$200.

That's what my wife and Stevens' wife spent on supplies.

Well, last night we were ready to ruin our friendship over this, and, hey, you

bid $20 ,000 in front of a room full of people.

That was last night.

We're over it.

200 bucks.

That's what it's worth. Otherwise, enjoy.

Harvey, how you doing, brother?

Good. The manager confirmed he's here. Sure did.

He's registered under the name of John Coachman. He's in room 28.

Ah, lovely.

And I have a key.

And here we are.

Hello, hello.

Governor Morgan?

Inspector Cortez from the League.

Like to talk to you?

Okay, I'm beginning to wonder if this gentleman really exists.

Yeah, me too. Give me a second, love.

Harvey?

Check your messages lately.

I trusted her. I confided in her.

And she betrayed me. She didn't betray you.

She was hired to spend time with you.

I don't think she counted on falling in love with you.

You really believe that?

Yes, I do.

Wexler needed to cover up his involvement with the other girl. He

best way to do that was get you involved in a public scandal.

Get you forced from office and then take your job.

That way, if this other girl ever came forward, he could claim it was a false

accusation based upon what had happened to you.

You know, I consider myself to be pretty savvy.

I can't believe that I fell for this.

It's all going to end like this.

It's not over yet.

No, no, I'm with him right now. Just hold everything up. It's good to see

Thank God, sir. Thank them.

All right, what's happening?

Okay, the lieutenant governor's called a press conference. He's going to tell

all from your wife's front porch we've got exactly one hour until damage

control. Governor, I'm going to suggest that damage control or spin is not the

right move right now.

Captain, we don't want to go down in flames and let Wexler win.

Wexler's ours.

The governorship is yours if you want to fight for it. I'm not going to lie,

Jim. Governor, I won't do it. I can't.

Governor, I believe there's someone here that would like to see you.

So you think this is going to have a happy ending?

I was going to say, he got the girl.

Not if the voters don't punt him out of office.

What the hell is he doing here?

Lieutenant Governor.

Mel.

I'll have a try, Mel. Let me just shake your hand.

I'm very impressed with you.

Hey, you're under arrest.

Hey, you can't do this to me. I'm Lieutenant Governor.

Arrest him.

I don't think so. We have a warrant here.

So fresh off the judge's desk, the ink isn't even dry yet.

Arm.

Governor, the podium's all yours.

Good afternoon.

I have a few announcements to make and a few apologies to make.

And a story to tell that some of you are going to find surprising and shocking.

But at the very least, you'll be getting my version first.

I feel it is incumbent upon me to tell you the people of California is the

truth. For many years... No apologies necessary, Mr. Martin. I know how

emotional these things can get.

You still at your office?

I'll bring it right over. Okay, see ya.

He changed his mind and wants a hard project after all.

You're kidding me. How much?

What do you think? 21 grand, man. Everything turned out just fine.

His wife must have got to him or something. I don't know.

How'd you figure this out?

Figure what out?

The thing with the lieutenant governor and the other girl, man. Where'd that

come from?

Bubba, once in a while I really do get lucky.

Oh, Joe, guess what?

Okay, what?

Paul Stevens is here.

He wants to get the art project for $21 ,000.

What? Mm -hmm. He talked to Kristen, and they decided they wanted it after all.

Isn't that wonderful news?

Ah, just the man I wanted to see.

A thousand apologies, Joe.

Actually, 21 ,000 apologies.

I don't know what got into me.

Hmm. Well, to tell you the truth, I just sold the project to the Martins.

You what?

I sold it.

When?

Oh, about a half hour ago.

Sorry.

There's no sorry.

That's our project.

You created this mess, Dominguez.

Now you fix it.

Tell you the truth, Pauly.

I'm out of the fix -it business, you know.

So if you want the project, I suggest you work it out with the Martins, okay?

This isn't going to help your standing at school, you know.

Well, you know what?

I really don't care.

Don't let the door hit you in the butt.

I'm sending you my dry cleaning bill. That jail cell's not the cleanest place

I've ever been.

Annie, I gotta tell you, some things are not reimbursable.

You're lucky to get out of here with your skirt on, sister.

I'll remember that.

See ya.

So, I'm waitlisted on the 740, but I'm definitely booked on the 915.

Great. Oh, and I'll need a car on the other end?

Yeah. Yeah, same credit card.

Thank you.

Taking a trip?

Yes, I am.

Where? Out of town.

Yeah, I kind of got that part.

Like, to where?

I don't believe that's any of your business, really.

Aren't you going to walk me out?

Oh, yes, by all means, Miss Cross.

So I suppose you're going to tell me, since I didn't know about the lieutenant

governor and his girlfriend, that I didn't win the bet, right?

I am not even going to give you the satisfaction of reacting to that. Oh,

good. So I didn't. win, then.

All right, all right. You won, you won, you won.

Now, where are you going?

I am going to my sister's wedding, because I don't think she'll be able to

survive my mother if I don't show up.

I get it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

A little wager.

The bet, remember?

I need to ride to the airport, and you, sir, are going to give it to me.

So, you could have, oh, let's see, anything you want in the world, and you

to ride to the airport.

Well, what do you think I was going to ask for? A hunk of hunk of burning love?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, baby.

That's what I thought, all right.

Will you just keep on dreaming then, Bridget?

You know, sister.

How long are you going to be gone?

Long enough for you to miss me.

And then I'll be back.

I'll count the days.
