Turn your husband loose on probation or
put him away for 20 years. 20 years?

I know he's not guilty.

Can you persuade me to believe he's not
guilty?

Very beautiful.

They may kill that man, but without your
help, I can't get to him.

You know who I am. You are the judge who
abuses his power by abusing women.

I want you to enjoy it. You will, won't
you?

All ashore.

And staying ashore.

That's if you make it worth my while.

We'll see what we can work out.

Come here.

Good to see you.

So are we going out tonight or are we
going to stay in?

Are you kidding?

We're not going anywhere.

Hey, what is this? Don't move. What's
going on? What are you doing?

Nothing to get upset about now. Somebody
call the police!

We are the police.

Narcotics? What the hell is going on?

You have the right to remain silent. You
may refuse to answer any questions. You

understand that?

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

In the car, let's go.

Don't worry. Watch it. Watch it.

Okay, let's go to the station house.
First thing.

JQ. you have been found guilty as
charged.

Sentencing will be ten days from now in
this courtroom. Court is adjourned.

I'm a judge, Mrs. Hughes.

If you're suggesting my reducing
sentence, I would need some sort of

justification. I am empowered with a
wide range of discretion.

I could turn your husband loose on
probation or put him away for 20 years.

20 years?

I must tell you now, Mrs. Hughes, things
are different.

People are demanding very stiff
penalties for drug dealing. 20 years is

lifetime.

It would kill him.

Don't you see he was framed? That heroin
was planted on him.

I know this is hard for you.

I know you love your husband very much.

You wouldn't be here if you didn't.

I believe in him.

I know he's not guilty.

Can you persuade me to believe that he's
not guilty?

Really persuade me?

It's a moral trade -off.

You're asking me to nullify a verdict
handed down by a system that I believe

If I'm willing to compromise my ethics,
then you're going to have to bend your

rules a little.

You're asking a lot.

Am I?

Faust gave his soul to the devil for
power and knowledge. You're doing a lot

less than that, and look what you're
gaining by it.

The life of the man you love.

After all, we're only talking about a
temporary relationship.

I'd have to live with it.

And I'd have to live with my decision.

I'm the one who's going to be
compromised. We both are.

That's what a compromise is it takes to

Think about it

You could wait on a penis.

But you're innocent.

You haven't done anything. That's what
we know.

This lawyer, I don't think he believes
anything I say anymore.

It's the evidence.

It's that good.

Why?

Who is doing this to you? If I knew
that, do you think I'd be sitting here,

Lisa?

I mean, I've tried to think of
everything and absolutely nothing has

Look, what matters now is what happens
to you.

No. Listen to me.

This lawyer, he thinks Judge Tanney,
he's going to go the whole nine yards.

going to lock me up. Boom. You hear what
I'm saying? Don't say that. For God's

sake.

You're young.

You're beautiful.

I'm not going to let you wait 20 years
for me.

Not going to happen, Jake.

Not going to let it happen.

Hear me?

Mr. McCall, tugboat captains make a lot
of money.

Jake didn't have to sell drugs.

He was fed up.

Even if he was, I don't know that I can
help you.

But I thought you had people in trouble.

I try, yes.

Then why don't you help me?

Because I don't think you are telling me
the whole truth.

I can tell you anything you want about
Jake. Jake? Oh, yes, yes.

I wasn't wondering about Jake.

You have done nothing but talk about
Jake. I was wondering about you.

I don't know what you mean. You didn't
call me when the trial started, did you?

That means that obviously something
happened that changed your mind.

And it wasn't just the conviction, was
it?

I don't need you to keep Jake out of
prison.

I can do it myself.

Really?

cooperating with the judge, he can make
it easy for Jake.

Perhaps even get him off entirely.

That, I mean, that is, of course, as
long as I am... As long as

you sleep with him?

Yeah.

That's it.

What's the name of this guy?

Hmm?

Tanny.

His name is Howard Tanny.

I'll be in touch.

Does that mean you'll help me?

Oh, yes, yes.

Let's find out more about this
gentleman.

And I'll be in touch.

Judge Howard Taney.

What do you know about him?

Not as much as I'd like.

You haven't crossed him, Robert.

Me? No, no, no. A man called Jake Hughes
was convicted in his court on a charge

that could send him up for 20 years.
This man's wife says that Judge Taney

suggested a deal.

A very nasty little deal.

Can she prove it?

I don't know.

What if she could?

Well, if she could raise a strong...
suspicion of impropriety, she might get

husband a new trial.

And if there was no fresh evidence?

Then he'd probably be convicted again.

And unless there were clear and
convincing evidence against Taney, it

hardly create a ripple in his life.

He's got rich friends in high places,
and most of them owe him favors.

Paula, whose pockets are you in? If I
knew that, he wouldn't be in it anymore.

We were both appointed at the same time,
but I spent years waiting in these

halls for my turn.

He suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Someone is pulling some very long
strings.

I fail to understand how a man who eats
as much as you do can be so damn cold

all the time.

It's in my genes. That's what my doctor
says.

He thinks I should move to Florida, but
then I'd have to take assignments in

Central America.

Yes, yes, I'm sure.

I want pictures taken of everyone who
enters that apartment.

And a full report on Taney's movement.

Jimmy?

What exactly is this?

A malted milkshake.

Well, I have to keep up my nourishment
somehow.

Yeah.

Will I speak to you for a minute?

About what?

Jake Hughes.

This was his boat, wasn't it?

I wish I could help you, but I'm new to
the tug.

Oh, well, you didn't know Jake then.

He was the previous skipper.

Is that his name?

The only thing I heard about him was the
cops busted him for smuggling smacks.

Someone's talking to Hank about
something, and I don't like it. Hey,

to get him out of here. The truck's on
its way already. Come on.

Why are you interested in a lowlife like
him anyway?

Because he was set up.

Now I'm going to prove it. I don't see
how I can help you.

Well, I'm looking for somebody who can
tell me something about his arrest.

I wasn't here.

There must be someone who witnessed it
when it took place. Like I said, pal, I

can't help you. All right, well, can you
suggest somebody who could?

Those guys over there, they've been
around longer than I have. Thank you.

You know, it's getting so that the man
can't ask a simple question anymore.

Go home, friend.

Are you here?

Thank you for your help.

Give me.

Hey, Taney. All right, I'm coming.

Nice view you got up here.

What do you want?

With Antonio's compliments.

Everything okay with Hughes?

No problem.

Just see that there isn't.

Keep up the good work, Your Honor.

No.

Well, just give me a call.

I don't think so.

Who was

that?

Robot.

What's wrong?

Hello? This is McCall.

Oh, thank God.

There was some trouble at the docks.

You might be in danger.

Hello, Mrs Hughes.

Hi. Well, I presume your wife has told
you all about me.

She says you think we're in danger.

Yes, I do.

And getting you out of it is going to be
extremely risky.

So I want to make sure that you're
willing to go all the way with me.

It's better than going to jail for
something I didn't do.

Well, that's for sure.

I've been at this all day. Could I have
a cup of coffee?

Sure. I'm just making some.

No.

Jake, do you want to? No.

Is there anyone left on the dock that
you can trust?

No.

Anyone who left recently, quite
suddenly, without any apparent

Yeah, yeah, there was this guy named
Zeke. He was fired like all of a sudden.

He's been the local dispatcher there for
years.

How do I get in touch with him?

I don't know.

I could check a few things out.

I'd be grateful if you would.

Give me a minute. Sure.

You haven't told him everything, have
you?

No.

This is my marriage, not yours. I've got
a right to do whatever it takes to save

him. He has the right to be told.

Really?

Can you guarantee that nothing will
happen to him?

No.

Well, if you can't, just let me keep my
options open.

Twenty years is a very long time, Mr.
McCall.

Mr. McCall?

That's where he is.

What about Lisa's safety?

Oh.

Well, before I came here, I asked a
friend of mine to look after you. Both.

He's licensed to carry firearms.

Yeah, but is he good enough?

Well, perhaps you can judge for
yourself.

Hello, Mickey.

Hello, Carl.

This is Jake Hughes.

Mickey Cosmo. Hi.

Hello.

The mic's gone haywire.

Interesting.

That's the man from the dock.

He's standing around Taney's apartment
like he owns it.

Yeah.

Taney doesn't seem at all pleased, does
he?

Looked to me like he didn't have much
say in the matter.

I think it's about time I paid the judge
a visit.

How did you get in here? Who the hell
are you? Well, I'm just someone who

to talk to you about your nasty little
habit.

Do you know who I am?

Oh, yes, yes.

You are the judge who abuses his power
by abusing women.

You also rig trials.

You are very well known indeed.

Would you like a list of the people who
are ready to testify against you? Get

the hell out of here. Whose payroll are
you on? I don't know what you're talking

about. No, well, it doesn't matter if
you don't want to tell me. I'll find

This is beautiful, this apartment.
Really beautiful.

Well, I'll find out when I do find out.

I will make sure that you go to prison
for the rest of your very miserable

Just a word of warning, Your Honor.

Your Honor.

Good day.

That's it.

miserable life, I expected you to
elaborate somewhat.

See, it's working all right. Like a
charm.

He's bound to talk about my billiards to
the man he works for. When he does,

we've got him.

But keep your ears open, Jimmy, all
right?

It is deep, isn't it?

Sorry, we're closed.

I'm a friend of Jake, you.

Look, pal, two more years and I collect
Social Security.

I don't want to shorten those years by
talking to you.

You're that scared, are you?

Let's just say that I have a lust for
life.

I'm sorry you won't talk to me.

Jake said you would help.

I really need friends at the moment.

He should have left the hard stuff
alone.

He did.

And I think you know he did.

What if I do?

There's nothing I can do.

Oh, I think there is.

Why did you leave the dock?

Maybe somebody made me an offer I
couldn't refuse.

But Jake wasn't pressured, was he?

Of course not.

Jake wouldn't take the Brooklyn Bridge
for a bribe. He would have fought. He

would have gone to the police.

So no one approached him. He was simply
set up.

Look, I'm not interested.

I don't know who you are, and I don't
want to know who you are. But you want

to... You want to hit back, don't you?
And you can.

Just tell me the name of the man who set
Jake up. Look, it's bad enough I have

to sell this stuff. I don't want to end
up swimming with a... His name.

Just give me his name.

I will forget yours, I promise.

I promise.

It's Antonio.

What? His name is Antonio.

He's into everything down here. You want
it, he runs it. Why did he want you and

Jake off the dock?

The tugs.

The Coast Guard don't search them when
they're escorting those big ships.

So it's perfect for smuggling stuff. You
see, all you have to do is drop it from

the boat onto the tugs.

But Jake, Jake was straight, and they
were afraid if Jake was working the

he would see something and talk.

But killing him was too obvious even for
those big, so...

They set him up.

So, they control all the tugs in and out
of that dock, and they have their own

crews. Zeke, can you prove it?

That would be suicide.

Thank you.

So, get that kid off, okay?

through my front door like he owns the
place.

Must be the same person who had to talk
with you people down on the dock.

Why is he taking an interest in you and
the JQ's case?

I don't know.

I don't pay you not to know.

You remember when you were a storefront
lawyer?

You were living in a ratty duplex in
Queens.

Your wife couldn't take it and she left
you there.

Feeling sorry for yourself.

That's when you became disenchanted with
the law.

In the public interest.

And you decided you wanted the good
things in life.

Do you remember?

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember.

Grateful for everything you've done for
me, Mr. Antonio.

I realize you could have chosen someone
else. I didn't want someone.

I wanted you.

I didn't pick you on a whim.

Everything I do is counterfeit.

Like with Jake Hughes.

I went to a lot of trouble to make sure
he didn't rock the boat.

I pulled a lot of strings to get him in
your courtroom.

All you had to do was put him away.

I had to wait for the sentence.

Is that all there is to it?

I don't know about McCall, but you don't
have to worry about Hughes.

We're looking at a ten -year sentence.

I wouldn't expect anything less.

I didn't have to check up on you.

You don't have to worry about me. This
McCall thing's got me a little nervous.

Howard, we have an understanding here,
you and me.

Lately, I'm not too sure about us.

I'm not sure where your head is at.

I would hate to see some kid whine.

on a Sunday stroll on Jones Peak.

Now, this is your problem.

You take care of it.

I understand, Howard.

How'd it go?

I couldn't get a fix on the conversation
with the judge, but with the hand

signals, I figured they were talking
about you.

You got plenty of pictures?

Plenty, and in focus.

Right. Well, I think our work is nearly
over.

Just got to check on that tug and see
what they're really carrying.

Look at me a couple of minutes, all
right?

I'm ready.

It's one who I couldn't counter.

This man's out on bail.

Not anymore.

Judge Kinney revoked it.

Sorry. Let's go.

Lisa. I'm sorry, Jake. I'll get you out.

So, how are you?

I'm okay.

You look great.

You don't.

No, this is some new friends I met.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

They beat him up just to send us a
message, didn't they?

Didn't they?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Oh, my God. They're going to kill him.

I'll go see Judge Taney.

You'll do no such thing.

It's far too late for that. Now, you
listen to me, young lady.

This is far bigger than just one crooked
judge.

It is far too dangerous for you to do
anything now.

We should have run away and never have
thought of the time going out.

We could have made it.

Yes.

You could have made it, couldn't you?

Even if the authorities changed their
policy about searching thugs for

goods, they'd only search them coming
in.

Vicki, make sure she stays.

I'll be in touch with you.

Jimmy. I'm a cop.

Listen, I want you to leave the judge
for the time being.

And go over and cover the tug dock very
closely.

Are you going to be there?

I'll be there in about an hour.

You got it.

I saw John last week. Yes. He said he'd
been to a restaurant called the Phyllis

or... Phyllis or something. It was in
Maryland.

Oh, right. How was it?

Like Maryland.

Very large.

He seems very well.

Yes, he does.

Very attractive, isn't he?

I wouldn't know that.

But I don't find it particularly
attractive.

Well, that's because you're narrow
-minded.

That's the best one way of putting it.
All right now, Robert.

What's up?

I need a release order for Jake Hughes.

I... Taney has revoked his bail.

I warned you, Robert.

But I...

I expected some kind of attack.

I was prepared for it.

But I didn't think he would have the
nerve to issue a warrant.

A judge like that has all the nerve in
the world.

Paula, I don't think you quite
understand.

I understand.

You want me to risk my career on just
your say -so. Do you know how hard it is

for a woman to rise to my position?

You are not a woman. You are a judge.

And what's the point of being a judge if
you don't stand up for justice?

Can you nail him, Robert?

Otherwise, they'll all gang up on me.

I don't know. I don't know.

All I know is that Taney has taken him
into jail to strip him of my protection.

They may kill that man, and without your
help, I can't get to him.

I'll call the lockup and tell them I'm
issuing an order.

Thank you, Paula. Thank you.

RPG -7 rocket launchers. A Russian
weapon.

Those damn things are here illegally in
the first place.

They're getting ready to ship them out.

Rambo used one.

Rambo who?

Mrs Hughes?

Yeah. Sorry about the delay, but your
husband was released three hours ago. I

mean, even before we got Judge Walsh's
order.

That's impossible.

He didn't call.

He's not here. Look, he probably went
straight home.

Why did you release him?

Judge Taney's office said there was a
foul up. They weren't even supposed to

haul him in.

I'm sorry.

Well, he wasn't at home.

What? That can't be.

I'll call McCall.

McCall? Yeah, uh, Jake got released
before we got here. I think Taney can

him.

Hello? Come in.

Where is Jake?

Just relax.

What you need is a drink.

I didn't come here to drink.

I came here to see my husband.

You'll see your husband.

I just want you to enjoy the evening.

Courting wasn't part of the deal.

What a sweet way of putting what I have
in mind for you.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

You might even find it exciting.

Besides, courting was part of the deal,
Lisa.

And I want you to enjoy it.

Just sit back, relax, and let yourself
enjoy it.

You will.

Won't you?

You're quite lovely, you know.

How did you end up with a man like that?

You're a beautiful woman.

You can have anyone you want.

Why did you do it?

Because I wanted to.

I saw you. Price was right.

Sending an innocent man to prison
doesn't bother you.

Why should it?

There are no innocent men.

Only naive fools.

Lisa, you're very beautiful.

I'm looking forward to tonight with a
great deal of anticipation.

But we didn't come here to talk, did we,
Lisa?

Come, Lisa.

It's her husband.

This won't work. It's already working.

The authorities are about to seize those
rocket launchers. And with the tape

that I've made... Tape?

I left a little gadget underneath the
table when I paid you my last visit.

Every single word said in this room has
been recorded.

Duly recorded.

Now, you are going away for 20 years at
least.

You help me now and you'll get a little
help at your trial, possibly.

You're a judge. You know that's the way
it works, right?

No.

No?

Where is her husband?

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

We were going to try to make it look as
if Lisa and Jake had left the country on

the boat and had an accident at sea.

I was supposed to bring Lisa to see
them.

All right.

Well, that is just what is going to
happen.

You are going to take Lisa to see them.

Did you say something to me?

Huh?

I can't hear you.

I can't hear you.

Who's with Jake?

Don't worry, Ross has him in the engine
room.

Everything all right? Yeah, we got it
covered.

He didn't give you no trouble, did he?
No.

Good.

When's your daughter make her
confirmation?

Next Sunday.

Remind me to send her, Jack.

Hello,

Howard, and you're right on time.

You seem a little nervous, Howard. Did
you sleep well?

What?

I'm bored.

Wait a minute. Something's wrong.

Freeze!

Don't die!

Just drop it.

Take it easy.

You set me up, Howard.

I made due time.

I always collect my markets.

You'll pay.

Quite a lady you have there, Jake.

But you took an awful lot on yourself.
You should have told me everything,

You would have killed Taney.

At least tried to. Well, that would have
been foolish.

Taney was doomed from the moment he
shook hands with Antonio.

What a terrible waste, throwing away
one's life.

Yes.

But the real waste was how he lived that
life.
