Original subtitles

Hey. Police.

What are you doing?

Come down here.

Put your hands above your head and walk down the stairs.

Hey! Take your hand out of your pocket.

Now. Gun. He's got a gun.

LeVar, grab his weapon.

I don't know, man. I don't know.

Stay here.

It's a damn passport.

It's gone.

McCafferty.

Commissioner.

Oh.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Were there officers wounded?

Yeah, I see.

All right, 10 o 'clock's fine.

Yes.

What?

Two officers shot an unarmed civilian.

Where?

Mission District.

Deputy Commissioner's coming to see me about it.

That's not your watch. Why does she want to see you?

I don't know.

I have a bad feeling.

You better watch your ass.

That's your job.

I probably won't be home till late tonight.

Again, that's the third time this week.

I know, but things are really starting to heat up.

You got a sale?

Working on it.

What are you going to do for dinner?

I don't know.

Probably order in. What about you?

Honey?

What about you?

Me? I'll probably just grab something on the way home.

This is going to sound a little weird.

But somehow, the sight of you putting away this underwear is putting all sorts

of impure thoughts into my mind. I'm already late and your clothes are still

the dryer.

Oh, come on, Candy Cane.

By the time I get home tonight, you'll probably be sleeping.

So, uh, am I folding this underwear is actually turning you on?

Must be the happy homemaker side of you I rarely get to see.

I'll tell you what.

I'll even finish the laundry.

Go warm up the bed.

Three eggs, scrambled, soft, not runny, hash browns, crispy, not hard, rye

bread, lightly toasted, not burned, butter on the side, and don't forget the

jalapenos, extra hot if you have any.

I'll have a club soda, no ice.

Didn't your mother ever tell you that breakfast was the most important meal of

the day?

Yeah, it's, uh, pregame jitters.

Tomorrow's my first time in front of the grand jury.

First timer, huh?

Then you must have already had the dream by now.

Uh, no, what dream?

Oh, you know, the one all new ADAs have.

Yeah, courtroom.

Everyone you know is there.

Parents, siblings, friends, professors.

Stand up to address the jury.

They all start laughing at you.

I mean, we're not talking little girly giggles, Theodore. We are talking ear

-splitting, humiliation -inducing derision here.

Why?

Because you're butt naked, my friend.

All right, Danny, just exactly how nervous are you?

I just wish it was over, win or lose.

All right, just wait a damn minute here.

I haven't spent almost a year putting this case together. A murder to

should be a slam dunk.

You have Moreno on tape admitting that he put the contract out on those

stevedores. Well, what if I have a problem authenticating the tape?

That is where Herbert Nass comes in, our star witness. I brought him to you.

What if he flakes on me? The immunity deal I got him is contingent upon his

and complete cooperation. He understands that. He is not going to flake.

Well, I hope you're right.

Theodore, this is under control.

I will personally deliver him to you and drop him in your lap. Herbert Nass will

be at your grand jury, ready, willing, and able to testify.

You want me to investigate this shooting?

Yes, we want you to determine whether this was justifiable.

Were these officers reasonably in fear for their lives when they shot Mr.

Carrillo? An officer involved shooting is an internal affairs matter.

IA will be doing their own investigation.

But they play by their own rules, and they take their time. The commissioners

need a quick, reliable analysis of what happened.

So, I'm still not sure why you're talking to me.

You've got a lot of fans in this building, Kate.

You're professional and fair, and you've earned the respect of your people and

City Hall.

It's getting awful warm and fuzzy in here.

Okay, I picked you specifically.

You're basically apolitical, and in this situation, that is a rare and

invaluable asset.

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

Look, Kate, if you have any hesitation about this, please say no. This is an

extremely sensitive assignment.

I'll do my best.

Good.

I expect a full -throttle investigation to ask all the tough questions.

And if I get the wrong answers?

We're not afraid of the truth.

You could do yourself some good here.

You're asking us to second -guess other cops. Cops in a crappy neighborhood who

thought they were about to be shot. I'm asking you to have an open mind.

Fine. But they're still cops. They get the benefit of the doubt. But if they

the excessive force, they should be off the street. It's better for the rest of

us that way.

Say that again after you've been in this division for more than five minutes.

I'm with C .D. on this, Captain.

Peter, don't start. I mean, we got to put this in perspective.

It is a dangerous city out there. Damn right. With all the weapons on the

half the time, it's like we're the hunted. They made a mistake. It could

to anyone. You don't have a choice here, guys.

Now we're like the next worst thing to the rat squad. It makes us look bad.

Or good.

I mean, it's like the captain says. Maybe if we clear these guys, the PBA

give us a parade up Market Street. Better chance of us being anointed,

Okay, I hear you. This is not a democracy.

Magda and Peter, start by interviewing Labarsky and Smith.

We got first crack at them. They're expecting your call, C .D.

Angela, hit the streets. Talk to potential witnesses and the M .E.

through our top team. Any questions?

Good. I'll beat it.

What the hell were you thinking nodding off to the captain? We should stick

together. Maybe the captain needs reminding.

She doesn't need reminding, Peter. She needs us doing our jobs.

Michael Labarski and Nathan Smith are fine officers with spotless records and

hundreds of felony arrests between them. We believe that their actions should be

evaluated in this context.

It should also be said that the suspect, although unarmed at the time of the

shooting... did have a long history of criminal behavior in his native Bolivia.

Nevertheless, we've authorized an investigation to be conducted by one of

most respected officers, Captain Kate McCaffrey.

Law offices? I'm sorry, I must have dialed the wrong number.

Me and Nate, we just started our 12 to 8.

He went inside the store to get us some coffee.

That's when you first saw Mr. Carrillo?

He was on the landing.

It was real dark up there. I think the light bulb was broken or something, and

he just looked wrong to me.

You know, like he was maybe waiting for a resident to arrive home and perpetrate

a pushing robbery.

You know, we've had a run of those of late, so... Let me ask you, this

presumption that you formed, was it because he was actually doing something

wrong or because he wasn't white?

What's the difference?

Oh, you don't see a difference?

Like I said, there was something about him that just didn't seem right.

I just wanted to ask him a few questions.

Hey, what are you doing?

Come down here.

Put your hands above your head and walk down the stairs.

He didn't listen to me. We didn't speak English. I'm supposed to know that? You

were in the mission district. You should have considered that possibility.

Look, I've been on the street a lot of years.

And when he didn't answer me and he put his hand in his pocket, he could have

been green for all I cared.

Hey!

Come down here!

Take your hand out of your pocket! Now! Then he came at me. I could see his arm

and his hand clearly.

I believe the suspect had a gun and was about to use deadly force.

I believed that my life and that of my partner was in imminent danger. I had no

choice but to respond as I did.

I hear nothing else.

You?

Well, now, I have a question.

If you could see his arm and his hand so clearly, how come you couldn't tell he

was holding a passport?

I said it was dark.

You can't have it both ways.

Did you talk to someone before you came here?

A lawyer, maybe, or...

Someone at the commissioner's office? No. No one.

Nobody coached you.

Okay. We're done here.

We got a problem.

Come on, Captain. The guy was under a lot of pressure last night. So what if

messed up some details?

I'm not talking about details.

Imminent danger.

No choice but to respond.

Those are not his words. Nothing wrong with his talking to a lawyer first.

If it was a lawyer.

Then who?

And why?

I don't know, considering they're not afraid of the truth.

I don't care what that old bat upstairs be saying.

I wasn't hanging here last night, and I didn't see no shooting.

She's not lying, Stanley. There are other witnesses who saw you around here.

What's with Officer Bitch?

What did you just call me?

You heard me. No, you hear me, and you hear me good. I'm not one of your

I'm a police officer, and for that, I get your respect. You understand me?

Man, must be the wrong day of her month or something.

Something like that, Stanley. Look, you could really help me out here.

Anything you could say would be personally appreciated.

Might even be a small fee for your time.

Now, your partner here is a smart lady.

Knowing the appropriateness of giving a man his props.

There's this dude.

Maybe he can help.

Hangs out across the street most nights.

Now, if you ask me what he's doing there, I'm not going to be able to say.

Can I ask you his name?

Goes by Billy White Shoes. Like the football player from way back?

Thanks. I don't have to take that crap from anybody. Sometimes you do.

Damn people.

Hey, it's over. He's not worth it. Not him. Damn absentee landlords.

What are you talking about now? The owner of that building. He probably

Marin in a big house, right?

Yeah. If that landlord had spent a dollar on a light bulb, Labarstew would

seen what that man was holding in his hand.

One dollar.

That's what I'm talking about.

Look, Inspector, when we agreed on my plea, you said that my testimony would

secret, that Jimmy Moreno would never know that I was identifying his voice

the tape.

Herb, the grand jury is secret. That's the law.

All right, all right. And what if this thing goes to trial?

Then I have to talk against him in open court. I mean, I'm practically a dead

man if that happens. Who said anything about this going to trial? The DA, the

assistant DA, Blumenthal.

He said there was no guarantee that Moreno would take a plea after the grand

jury.

All right, look, Herb, I'm not going to lie to you, okay? There is a chance that

you might have to testify publicly.

It's a very small chance.

Herb, we've been over this, okay? If you don't testify, the DA will go after you

on the wire fraud.

You're looking at a minimum stretch of three years.

All right.

Let's say that it goes like you said and Moreno takes a plea.

I'm a free man, then.

Free as a bird?

Good. Because the second you say so, I'm on the first bus back to Portland.

Well, there you go. Right?

First starts.

All you have to do is focus on getting through tomorrow.

Yeah, if I get through tomorrow.

It's a nasty habit.

Look, I'm going to take care of everything for you, Herb, okay? You

have to think.

It's very simple.

Tonight, you grab some dinner, you go to bed early.

You get up tomorrow, take a shower, have some breakfast, meet me in the lobby at

9.

You're really going to be here? I mean, you're going to pick me up and take me

to court? Of course I will.

You're not even up till after lunch, okay? We have a few hours to go over

testimony and get you into fighting shape.

Believe me, Herb, it's going to be a piece of cake.

I want you to fire away.

Ask all the questions you want.

But first you should know that what my partner did last night and what I did to

protect him, all by the book.

Mike Lebarski's been my partner for six years, and I can tell you this. Race was

not a factor. No one is saying anything different.

Well, then we should move through this pretty quick.

Yeah, if you answer us truthfully.

Let's just get to it.

We know you went into the store for coffee.

I walked out into the situation that Mike was in.

Hey.

Police. What are you doing?

Come down here.

Put your hands above your head and walk down the stairs.

Hey, guy, come back here.

Take your hands out of your pocket, now!

Gun! We've got a gun!

Next thing I hear is shots.

See Mike fall to the street.

I thought for sure he was hit.

Take a step back.

You certain that it looked like Carrillo was carrying a gun?

Yes. Okay.

Because according to this diagram, there was a large SUV parked between you and

Mr. Carrillo.

That didn't block your vision?

Not one iota.

It looked like a gun.

You were across the street, and that landing was dark.

There is no way that you would have seen that victim as clearly as you

described.

Listen to yourselves.

Here you got a cop who could have easily looked the other way, and the minimum,

waited for me to come back from the storm.

But no.

He cared.

He took the initiative against a suspect who might have been waiting to harm law

-abiding citizens.

He does his job the way he's supposed to, and look what happened.

Other cops lead the charge against them.

That's the real injustice.

The problem here, too, is that he wouldn't even conceive the SUV was

his vision. So?

So, it means we can't trust anything else he has to say. Where is this coming

from? Everything he said lines up with his partner. Which only means they had

time to get their story straight, Peter.

God, boys club still works if I hadn't been down. What is this boys club? This

is our club. We're all equal members.

Get real, Peter. Regardless, you heard the man.

You remember that night in the hate when that schizo came after you with the

tyrant? So I didn't shoot him. Yeah, but nobody would have blamed you if you

did. Well, at least he was armed. Raul Carrillo was holding a passport.

I cannot forget that, and I don't understand how you can.

Besides, if this was all an innocent mistake, they should have shown a little

remorse. How can you stand there and say they don't feel bad? Very easily, they

don't. Ma, that's enough.

The last thing we need is for this investigation to turn partner on

Now track down the uniforms who responded to the shooting, and maybe

help us with some answers we can rely on.

Yes, Gwen, please.

Oh, she's not coming in today. I see. Is there a number where... No, this is a

friend from law school.

Oh, I see.

That's okay. I understand.

No message.

I'd rather it be a surprise. I'll just try her again tomorrow.

Thanks.

Amy finished his preliminary autopsy.

Carrillo was shot ten times.

Four or five, I could understand.

But ten times?

That's a lot of shots for someone claiming self -defense.

The number's not that important. They both panicked and emptied their weapons.

Does Amy know who fired first?

Labarsky. The bullets pierced his aorta causing almost immediate death.

The partner's shots came afterwards.

He was backing up Labarsky.

That's the way it should be.

You have to be able to count on your partner. It's just the two of you.

Are you saying you don't trust that I would back you up?

No, I wasn't talking about you.

Then who were you referring to?

Just forget it.

Yeah, let's just find Billy White's shoe.

Oh,

Barkeep.

Aw.

What's a girl got to do to get a little attention around here, huh?

Maybe we should just call it a night.

What for?

Come on.

I'm not driving anywhere.

Sean, I have friends in high places.

They'll vouch for me.

Designated drivers, each and every one of them, sworn to uphold the laws of

great state.

Okay, okay.

One more and then you go home.

Here, Peach.

No, we caught a lucky break is all I'm saying. With the Emmy backing up their

stories, we're all just about off the hook.

I thought what he found was preliminary and pretty much inconclusive.

It is with you.

Why are you fighting positive developments? You really want to put

position to give up another car.

Excuse me.

Bad day?

Simon, it sucks.

But it'll be over soon enough.

Things will be back to normal around here before you know it. No, they won't.

What they're having us do is just not cool. This thing's going to take a long

time to heal. No way.

It is going to blow out as fast as it blew in. You'll see.

Doing all right, sir?

Oh, I'm doing just fine.

Inspector Ramirez?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, and Inspector Eckstead.

Nice to make your acquaintances.

As a matter of fact, after I finish my very last silver patron, I am going to

offer you a once -in -a -lifetime opportunity of squiring me home.

Our lieutenant said you were looking for us. Had some questions about last

night? Yeah.

Um, maybe we should do that up at the division.

Waste of time, Inspector?

Yeah. We know about your little witch hunt thing.

We got nothing to say about it.

Labarsky's a good cop.

Excuse me, but you don't even know what I'm asking. Don't care.

Don't care? Well, you can be ordered to care. And you'll still get nothing.

Back off, huh? Peter, I can handle this.

You got a problem with Inspector Ramirez, you got a problem with me,

You're a big brother or something?

I'm a partner, pal.

Now turn around and get your ass out of here.

Peter. You better watch your back, pal.

You and that pretty little partner of yours.

Back off. Hey, Peter!

Back to normal, huh?

What the hell were you thinking?

I didn't like the way he was talking to Magda. What was I supposed to do? You

could have walked away.

Do you have any idea how this makes us look?

How it makes me look?

Captain, it wasn't all his fault. Maybe something like that provoked the guy.

No.

It was my fault. I shouldn't have had him.

Yeah, I already called his lieutenant to apologize.

I get back to work.

Thanks. You didn't have to say that. No, I didn't.

Stupid macho crap.

Hey, those guys were threatening you. Yeah?

Well, next time let me fight my own battles. I've been doing it my whole

and I don't need your help.

Oh, God.

Herbert has his room.

Excuse me, sir. Have you seen this guy?

Thank you.

Billy White here.

Yeah. Well, who's inquiring?

Inspector DeLorenzo and Reed, San Francisco Police.

We want to talk to you about the Carrillo shooting two nights ago.

I can't be talking to you.

Oh, sure you can, because if you don't, I'm going to be talking to a DA about

your parole violations.

Hey, you got the wrong Billy White shoes, because I ain't no convict. As

you know, I could be a cop working this street undercover.

I don't think so, Billy. You're a convicted felon on parole.

And at the moment, you're consorting with known undesirables. Black on black.

Racial prejudice of the worst kind.

Okay, fine. Have it your way.

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used

against you in the court of law. If you can't afford a attorney, one will be

appointed...

Smooth

move, ladies.

Pulling me away under false pretenses and such. Just tell us what you saw the

other night.

Who says I was even there?

You got five to ten out in four. You want to go back and do the other six?

Okay.

So I'm sitting on the curb sipping on the tall boy when I hear these shots. So

run toward him to see what was going down.

And I see these two cops standing over his body.

Then I see this guy running from behind the building. So I'm thinking he's

seeing what went down. You recognize him?

Name's Jose Espinosa.

Real bad ass. Where do we find him? This time of day, I'll say.

But he's still sleeping.

Man rarely makes an appearance before sundown.

Pervert and ass.

He checked out.

Did he say where he was going?

Not to me.

All right, look, I'm going to need the phone records from his room.

Where's your subpoena?

This is a police emergency.

Well, maybe I should call the owner first.

Hello?

Theodore.

Um, hi.

No, no, we're on our way.

It's the traffic, you know. It's really bad traffic.

No, of course he's going to be there.

ASAP.

Okay? Okay.

Look, pal, this hotel has a very lucrative contract with this city. If

cooperate, and I mean now, it is your butt the owner is going to be spanking

when that contract is pulled. Is that what you want?

These are his calls.

I'm glad you called.

Remember when we had those all -girl cop lunches, all three of us in the

department?

You know, Carolyn's got four grandchildren, though.

No. Yeah.

It's wonderful.

We've fallen out of touch.

Well, retirement seems to agree with her.

You didn't call me to reminisce.

You misled me.

How so?

You don't want an investigation.

You want a whitewash.

You're wrong.

Then why did you release Maria's criminal record?

The department felt that the public has the right to know all the facts.

That's crap, Myrna.

You're trying to inoculate Lebarski and Smith by dirtying up the victim.

You're overreacting, Kate.

There's another element in this situation that you should keep in mind.

Enlighten me.

Remember when we worked patrol just out of the academy?

And some good old school cop would pat us on the ass and tell us to stay out of

trouble. What did we do about it? We took it. Why?

Because we didn't want to be written off as whiners for the female police

officers who come after us. Yeah.

We sacrificed for the good of the department. I'm not going to lie to you,

Myrna. You said you wanted the truth. That's what you're going to get.

changed.

Oh, well then I'm sorry I wasted your time.

We're friends, Kate.

Don't forget that.

You want me to say what those cops did?

You might as well declare open season on me right now.

You're being a little dramatic, Jose.

To tell the truth, you got nothing to worry about.

Look, you got my sheet, so it's no big secret.

I've done some things wrong, and I've done my time.

The thing is, I'm clean now.

And none of that counts, because you five all stick together.

I talk here, my life turns to hell.

Nobody's going to hassle you just for talking to me.

You guarantee me that?

Yeah, I guarantee you that.

If you stay clean, there's not a cop in the city that's going to look at you so

much as sideways.

I was at my girlfriend's house.

I heard some screaming in the street, and I looked out the window.

Put your hands above your head and walk down the stairs.

The cop was wanting him to come down the stairs.

But the guy wasn't listening.

Hey, come down here.

Take your hands out of your pocket.

Now.

That's when the cop started shouting about a gun.

You mean Correa's arm never left his side?

He never lifted it toward the officer.

Only arm lifted was that cop's.

That's when I got here, I started to backpedal.

That gun in his face must have been wetting his pants.

Then bam, bam, bam.

It's all over.

I had to get out of there.

My old lady didn't need to know I was at my girlfriend's.

So I ran outside.

It was maybe like two minutes after the shooting. I saw the cop there.

And for just a second,

I thought he got hit too.

What?

Yeah. I thought he got hit in the stomach.

And I was crying like a baby.

Give him what he's done.

I guess I don't blame him.

Well, we're going to need you to put this in writing.

Of course.

we hear some truth.

At least we know Lubarski isn't some psychopath gunning down Bolivians for

sport.

What are you going to do, Captain?

How are you going to write this up?

There you are.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you get any of my messages? I've been trying to reach you all day. Yeah,

yeah, I've been meaning to call you back. I've just been really busy.

I've been really busy, too. I know.

You haven't been home before midnight all week.

Well, I'm happy to report it was worth my time.

I just sold a 60 -foot tariff.

Cha -ching.

That's great, Paul.

Well, what's really great about it is with my commission, we can get that

I've been eyeballing for you. Paul, our credit cards are practically maxed out.

We can barely afford a Timex.

Well, I mean, that's no fun. If all we do is pay down bills, we've got nothing

to show for my success. I'd rather take a step back from bankruptcy unless that

isn't successful enough for you.

Okay.

Just thought you'd be happy to hear.

Anyway, I've got to get back to the lawyer's office. We're going to close

deal in an hour.

Which lawyer's office is that?

Gwen's? What?

Gwen Nelson is the lawyer for my buyers.

But I don't think I ever mentioned that.

Her name and phone number were written on a piece of paper in your wallet.

I can't believe you went through my wallet.

You've been working late every night.

I've been down this road already.

C .D., honey, she's part of the deal.

Why didn't you just talk to me about it?

You really don't trust me, do you?

Should I?

C .D., we both know I've made mistakes.

But that's all in the past now.

There's nobody else.

Only you.

Hey, you mind?

Come on.

We'll get over it.

Police. I need to know what buses are left here in the last hour or so.

Okay, let's see. There's a 176 heading to Reno and Point E. Next.

And a 47 that goes to Seattle.

Seattle. Is that stop in Portland on the way? That's right. We'll give the bus

get its exact location and tell the driver to pull over immediately. You got

And make sure no passengers leave until I get there.

Yes.

Hi.

Theodore. Still stuck in traffic. It's like a parking lot out here.

Yes, I know he's your key witness.

What?

How long?

All right, listen to me. Do not send that grand jury home. I will be there

I promise.

I have an eyewitness who contradicts the story told by the two officers.

Who's the witness?

Street hustler with a criminal record.

But I believe him.

My findings are documented in here.

Your effort is duly appreciated and noted.

Officer Smith acted reasonably.

Officer Lebarski, on the other hand, should never have fired his weapon. I'm

talking malicious intent, but I have serious doubts whether he should remain

the street.

Is that all?

You coach those cops.

And you picked me because you assumed I'd be the good cop I've always been.

Careful, Captain.

You've done your assignment.

Leave the rest to me.

What happened that night can't be wished away.

What do you think is going to happen the next time Lebarski finds himself in a

situation and panics?

I have given my life to this police force.

I won't see it unraveled because of one regrettable incident.

Lawsuits, citizen advisory committees, federal intervention, new policy

guidelines, maybe in New York or L .A., but not here.

When cops start second -guessing themselves on the street, the only

suffer are the people they are paid to protect.

You really think you're protecting the department by covering up its abuses?

Kate. One bad apple won't spoil the barrel.

It still stinks.

Get used to the smell.

SFPD!

Sorry for the inconvenience, ladies and gentlemen.

I'll just be a moment.

Let's go, Herb.

Now. Okay, okay.

Go ahead and say it. You were right, I was wrong.

That applies to just about everything that goes on between us, Peter. I'm

talking about Nathan Smith. The fact that he was probably lying to protect

partner.

Oh, that.

I still don't blame him.

He was just closing ranks.

And that's what we do for one another, right?

Yeah, maybe some cop.

Don't expect that from me.

Thank God you got here. I couldn't stall it much longer.

Don't you know, don't worry.

You ready?

I

appreciate

your seeing me.

My desk job doesn't start till next week, so one thing I got is plenty of

It's got to be tough on your wife.

She knew what she was getting into.

She'll be fine.

And you?

What do you care?

We wear the same uniform.

I've been better.

But everybody I know just tells me, hang in, just take your medicine, move on.

I'm a cop.

What choice do I have?

Well, you know, Mike, can I call you Mike?

You're allowed to have feelings about what happened the other night. You're

allowed to talk about it. Talk about what?

Well, you could start by admitting that what you did the other night was wrong.

What's said here stays here.

Why should I trust you?

My investigation's done. This isn't about me or about the department.

This is about helping you get through this.

You don't know what I'm going through.

I know our culture.

The way cops are supposed to act.

No matter how guilty we feel or how scared we are, we're not allowed to talk

about it.

I'm here to tell you different.

What do you want me to say?

That I wasn't afraid out there?

That I blew Raul Carrillo away for the fun of it?

Is that what happened? You know that's not what happened.

I love my job. I don't want to become an ex -cop.

Well, you know, whether you stay a cop or not, you got to

do what's best for you.

And I think that can only happen if you start by coming clean with yourself.

I should have waited to see what was in his hand.

If I would have waited just one more second, then I would have seen, I would

have known.

Inspector.

Good news. Your witness killed in the grand jury.

Ah, so all's well that ends well, huh? Well, it actually gets better.

Afterwards, I got a call from Moreno's attorney. He wants to talk him out of

Cleveland.

So Herb won't have to testify publicly after?

I tell you, every case should end like this.

I showed up in court, fully dressed, and, uh, looks like I'm gonna win.

So I'm thinking, there's gotta be a bottle of champagne somewhere with our

on it.

Ah, you really know the way to a girl's heart.

So, let's do it.

Maybe another time?

Oh. Okay, I get it. You and me, not such a good idea.

No, it's got nothing to do with you, Theodore.

I just, uh... I can't afford another day like today.

You hardly said two words at dinner, did I?

Can't get Michael Barsky out of my mind.

You need to let it go.

Thank you my friend.
