second have you agreed for their
representation I highly advise you to
walk away right now let me talk to the
DA see if we can make a deal I'm sorry
you think we're dealing on the tape over
here I wasn't aware of any deal big
trouble if you moved through a federal
agent you don't have to go with them
you're interfering with my clients
constitutional right to legal
representation is it she's free to go
no not to incriminate herself by talking
to you she's not she paid your bill none
of your business
Rita these people they don't care about

hey there honey your computer's listen
to you listen to me Harry is very
worried about your family back in
Pattaya that's a threat counselor I
advise you to be a little more careful
you just bought yourself a whole lot of
trouble mister
where's Scott last seen entering
Pritchett's office all right a crisis
situation just fell in my lap where's
Prince rice Ben didn't reveal office let
me see that
remember Bernie waters left his creds at
Six Flags shut the whole place down
they were brought in 45 minutes ago by a
hell another spoon she was out walking
her dog and found him in a gutter on
Santa Monica Boulevard 1700 block so we
just called bender and tell the way have
his credit he's unaccounted for has been
for three days and this my friends
causes great concern not only for the
bureau but for the CIA as well CIA then
I was working a joint out with the CIA
details are unclear but it involved a
Libyan national public in this report
some CIA indicate yes it's not clear why
the CIA has come to this conclusion but
they seem pretty confident about it
we're getting the private report ETA on
CA cable I'm told as midday today a sec
picture will act as liaison in the
meantime we need to check out the hotel
where bender still register I'll take it
it's yours ridden go with him all of the
Disney clothes on the shelf
except for this one that's all folks
Rita say good morning to assistant
Special Agent in Charge and reproach it
pleasure Rita's been working with us
since 3:30 this morning so I thought the
least we could do is get her a real
workin agents breakfast Scott tells me
you've got some accounting skills what
to use by your former employer mr. Chang
Rita's a citizen stepping forward to
help us out
but not a citizen illegal sense but it a
person go ahead and finishing breakfast
Rita we do appreciate your coming in
Scott
Stoddard she is a prostitute
boss aware of that but she's sleeping
with Chang's accountant we won't have a
huge credibility problem trying to build
a case on the testimony of a prostitute
of this accountant town he's obsessed
with her he's also extremely lazy so
when he found out she had a head for
numbers begged and cajole to get her to
help with the books all right so we've
got an accountant
he was hormonal a charge right now who's
busy inputting her instead of numbers
right all right that's mildly
interesting get me the accountant then
we'll talk Chang's operations locked
down tight that's why you sent the
lawyers down to bail out the leak the
Freak that what she knows fine so find
another way in someone to corroborate
we'll build on that she's the real deal
if we can just set her up someplace safe
are you asking me for FSA expenses I'm
aware that my expense receipts are late
oh no not late absent an outstanding
total of 960 dollars I know you want to
put her on your own credit card that's
up to you
I'm max dad she's got nowhere to go and
I'm convinced that her life's in danger
then you should have thought about that
before instigating excuse me
hey rosemary missed you a step close
yeah
sweaty men in bike shorts are enough for
me okay
yeah man Robinson nice guy you ever want
to meet though so you're working the
bender case with us nope you call me
something else
yeah you got any credit card information
last three days Scott
Mary Jane run some Asian prostitution
rings hand over to a white-collar squad
like c7 or criminal enterprise it's on a
platter for us one of the girls in the
Bellflower radius gold mine back it out
what were you doing in Bellflower last
night I got a tip from my roommate who
happened to be on the scene that didn't
go down there and bail him out he was a
patron Johnny's not he's not meat look
anyway
you knew this girl Rita Pritchett met
her and he's very impressed it's God I
appreciate the enterprise she's talking
about a lot of coordination we've got
our hands full already today hello John
look I'm moderately intrigued with the
possibility of combining litigation
Chang but I gotta tell you flat-out I
don't have the manpower excuse me this
isn't gonna be labor-intensive I've got
a witness what kind of witness a
bookkeeper who worked her way off her
back look she knows every patron who
ever spent 50 bucks down to Bellflower
social club that's Chang's flagship John
normally I wouldn't climb this tree so
fast but as a favor to you I'll give it
a try you guys don't need me I'm
rosemary are you under the impression
that I asked you failed all I know a
stutter came staggering to my office at
seven o'clock this morning with all the
evidence on Chang am I missing something
no we'll play it out we're glad to have
you on board
starter promised me manpower okay you're
gonna have one of my probationary agents
Robinson or Reardon
I'll take Robinson
okay the last three calls vendor made
were to Mideast imports an 800 number
with an answering machine at the CIA
front night before last he called one
Jill Dolan in Pasadena they talked for
almost ten minutes then he called LA
colonial restaurant made reservations
for two vendor was a no-show but a woman
came waited for an hour I'm guessing
that was Jill Dolan the girlfriend
friend who spent a lot of time in this
balcony yeah I'd say it looks like two
packs for the lease my old man used to
say there's nothing like a good view to
make a big problem go away
what's going on Jack give me a favor
when we get back to the office
just case backs no speculation
I think this one's got a couple other
parts left on it enough to get you set
up in a nice motel cater with all the
fast food you can eat someplace safe
where we can get to work on your
testimony being followed by a black card
you could have a little more forthcoming
when they just pitch it there instead of
playing dumb like that
you turn you down for money for the
motel didn't do temporary glitch
everybody's very excited about the case
what's the matter with this car
why what do you want someplace safe
you want it's really safe here
you don't worry this man was arrested
with me yeah I know it's my roommate
where are you gonna find a motel with
you like this
all right let's go over some of the
background information we started on
this morning now you uh arrived in Long
Beach on a ship called the Pacific
investor with 30 other girls now right
yes in a cargo container you're
recruited in Thailand two and a half
years ago and led to believe it was four
cocktail waitressing isn't that right
son thought cocktail waitressing and you
know some new and that was by Chang's
representation each person according to
their gifts either day and what was your
again
I just I need to know a little something
about your life before you had access to
Harry's books
we were there for men you were forced to
have sex all the girls on Harry
you know money for the passage feeds to
America or to sleep at bed would be the
fastest way to pay how much was a
passage $100,000
I wanted that take it depends you know
so many years any of the girls every
gain of freedom six girls last year they
were sick with HIV so Harry let them go
okay
let's talk about the numbers what did
the account let you know me then let's
talk about me
roommate well you're the FBI and you say
you can help me in a big way we can
well Harry can get me a green card no II
can't we said you can say what you want
you want a green card we can get you the
bureau can get your green card all right
okay then we talk
Boyd's analysis confirms it's Royce
Bender's voice call was made three days
ago at 16 18 hours Ben Rollins is his
crisis code cover name friends across
the street saw four guys lounge around
the back of the building they thought
you should know and if I get any more
information I'll pass along Thanks
the shipment is a Libyan chemist named
Aziz Hassan and four guys lounging is
code name for what Libyan hit squad when
was the last time we were living in hit
in the States ten years twelve actually
but we're not starting off by
questioning the integrity of benders
message vendors job was to help us on
get acclimated to the American culture
which consists of what anything we ask
that once trip to Disneyland strip bars
Jill Dolan the girlfriend no answer no
machine I'll track an address maybe take
a run down there Washington believes
we're looking at one of two scenarios
the message is accurate and the Libyans
have compromised the operation or it's
misinformation meaning what vendors
turned I would hate to think that's true
but middle-eastern factions have been
known to offer large sums of money for
information on our operatives their
Washington wants it considered
so you're not buying any of this did I
say that Jack you don't really have to
say much for people know what you're
thinking most people would see that as
an asset are you doing I'm gonna grab my
last burger before the Libyan hit squad
gets us an e hmm come on the bender file
i cross-checked something oh listen uh
you know mal better than I do
do you know if there's anyone in his
life right now I don't think so what
who's that
Vargas from c7 huh mouths pretty
dedicated sound okay Thompson thank you
it's always been for sale I read
somewhere an average person thinks about
it every three minutes hmm
yeah some people think it should be
legal yeah man is that what you think
oh no course not I don't believe in
exploitation of anybody Jamie makes all
this money don't do the math it'll just
scare you
what the man that it represents can you
imagine having sex all day long
she's got grassy just call me Leslie
dreyfuses contaminant you intimidated a
client a person I'm an LA County I
presume that you're before me she fired
her lawyers it just happened to be in my
presence hmm well they're saying you
flash your credentials and literally
pulled her away from a representation I
don't even think she knew who they were
except probably Chang sent them you had
this what I told Rossi see we struck a
nerve Scott
where does your witnessed a moment
princess said he did not have proof on
telephones she's at my place you took
her to your she's perfectly safe what
she wants is a green card so I made a
couple phone calls what the si si has to
do is call immigration in Washington
have an informal consult with a guy
named Victor Gonzalez if Gonzalez can be
made to understand the value of Rita's
testimony things can happen green cards
can appear offer her the witness
protection program and get her out this
is a route that can result in her
getting the card it's a route we're not
gonna take Scott why not it's worth a
try look it's possible but the system is
not set up to do it I've already got a
message on Gonzalez's desk asked him to
call you for a private background and
mr. Gonzalez is not gonna call me and
that's a si grazie is not gonna go out
on a limb the best thing you've got
going is she trusts you now offer a
witness protection
hi uh this is Special Agent Amanda
Reardon down in c16 fine thank you
um it's actually Special Agent Jack
Toronto's birthday coming up and we
wanted to do a this is your life jack
Dorado saying um I was wondering can I
get a record of his assignment so I can
talk to some of the people he's worked
with and share anecdotes and things like
that you do great I can pick him up now
okay thanks I'll be right up okay
look I don't know what you want from the
agent urato I haven't talked to him in a
long time well so I guess it was your
husband who talked to him when he called
your house three days ago just tell me
what you know my father never made it to
my first communion or any of my school
pageants graduation high school and
college and you know why press of
business that's what he said it's been
his excuse for the past 15 years you
agreed to meet him at that restaurant I
know he didn't show but you agreed to
meet him yeah you know why cuz he cried
on the phone
Oh give me another chance Jill yeah yeah
well slap a big sucker sticker on me cuz
it's not gonna happen again this is your
father no this is an excuse for a father
big difference this is your father he's
in a lot of trouble his careers on the
line
yeah sure well everything's about his
career that's the only reason you're
here isn't it
oh you make me sick you guys you all
stick together you dress alike little
FBI dreams now listen to me young lady
this is a friend of mine I used to visit
your house in Maryland Joe please I need
your help why I don't care about you or
the bureau I don't care about any of
this
so if you find my father just tell him I
would have loved to help out except
pressive business
this witness protection program is
forever in some cases usually it's just
until the threat is gone
so I won't be Rita no it wouldn't be
safe they knew what I be well you'll
always be Rita it's just that now you
know I'd be Jane Jane the cashier or
Jesus shop girl but no pass no family
the best I can go okay set yourself last
night
they're already recruiting new girls and
every year they get younger and younger
when's it gonna stop you want me to be
Jane and Iowa I will go be Jane and Iowa
only if you bring my family here
you heard them threaten them if I do
this they will get hurt Rita like you
then make them safe I've got some
contacts look I got them into the
America never see those things over will
that help
you protect my family I'll go be chained
the vendor got a letter of reprimand in
92 apparently he used the Bureau of
surveillance team to check out some of
the kid from the was stating his
daughter make a good couple don't they
I'm just an observer of course any most
people around to your art I went out
with her the night I got the squad super
job I know when to celebrate with so I
felt her don't know why I did it
what happened went to dinner
I saw a few more times after that she's
quite attractive don't you think I'm
very centered no no I meant what
happened really
yeah thanks fenders being classified as
a security risk great why didn't you
tell me that you and vendor were first
off as agents together we should tell
the Lansky absolutely not
okay then I will how you will look you
have a personal stake in this the entire
Bureau thinks that vendors turned and
you know what they will do with that the
lack of candor cause for immediate
determination lack of candor it's 1997
why can't you just call it lie Jack I
know that you inventor have parallel
careers we work together a couple of
times
bender went to pursue driving school in
upstate New York in May of 1997 you went
to pursue driving school in upstate New
York in May of 1987 I referenced at
least three classes two assignments I
know that you both were in Chicago for
psych evaluations I know how friendships
start you were first office agents you
work with someone you spend a lot of
time together
what is this Reardon a hallmark moment
you in bender know each other very well
now you're trying to protect him all
right you little snoop
good job on the cross-reference thank
you vendors not a spy okay let's go tell
aunty there's no like a candid between
us right
vendors have trouble called me the other
night from the bar he wanted to meet I
was stuck on surveillance he sounded not
so good did you talk to the girlfriend
it's not his girlfriend it's his
daughter she's coming in to sign a
statement that she has no knowledge of
her father's whereabouts okay
so if you have a meeting with Jill Dolan
without me and I go back to my little
cubicle let me tell you what's gonna
happen the first time Olinsky looks me
in the eye I have to tell him everything
I know okay
agent benders credentials had no
fingerprints other than his a lab says
that they may have been wiped but you
know I'd like your input on another
topic yes sir sure I'm very interested
in nature of the relationship between
Robinson agent Vargas is there something
wrong sir
I mean are you asking me or just doesn't
matter so see two years ago when penny
and I were separated briefly my pursued
agent partners did and we have four
dates and then I never let it get too
far but finally she admitted that she
couldn't allow herself emotional
connection to the bureau superiors I
respected that
Wow
life goes on I guess thank you
hey hey can we join you
yeah please no yes
we're ready to issue a report your
father went over the libyans most likely
for money so everything you were saying
about his great loyalty to the bureau
joke was on us and turned when a good
agent goes bad it's a damn shame
goodbye pension here we're talking
espionage seditious conspiracy looking
at the death penalty
but feel was sinus active David will
make sure that you receive all the
contents of this desk in Denver you may
not remember me but I remember you look
it with a dirty face
I'm like princess polish could clean it
off you didn't like to use soap so the
old man called it princess polish so
what so what so you remember more than
you think you do I bet you even remember
me
maybe maybe
yeah
you used to give me lifesavers butter
rum father trying Joe maybe you should
have tried harder maybe wasn't a great
father maybe it was lousy but he tried I
know that he tried he called you again
at me
called me this morning he wanted me to
meet him at some boat but I said no let
me tell you where it was docked Terminal
Island
it's a trawler did he say the name of
the boat no he wouldn't turn
he just he wouldn't do something like
that of course he would
easy man I just came back to get out of
here go hot woody quit the damn cat
you and Richie like brothers like it
nothing like Richie we're not the same
at all in the refrigerator there are two
cartons of milk one is Mark Scott and
when it's March Richie I hear the girls

sound sad

how you live your life you make a lot of
friends everybody likes you you got a
lot of charm
one day the charm will be gone I know
about John that's why I got good at
numbers I can't help your family can't
protect I tried I made a lot of calls
but I can't do it I thought I could get
it done but I can't but I want to do
what's best for you you gotta believe me
so I'm not just some big case of course
not I know I made you promises but it's
just cuz I want everything to work out
for you no
yes okay for me but I'm not a bad guy
just cuz I have my name on a milk carton

want your testimony against Harry Chang
I would like nothing better than to put
Harry Chang away be good for a lot of
people no no Harry Chang's got his guys
out there looking for you right now
the best I can offer you is witness
protection and I know that there's
nothing for your family back home

bureau but for the CIA as well CIA then
I was working a joint out with the CIA

Libyan national public in this report
some CIA indicate yes it's not clear why
the CIA has come to this conclusion but

huge credibility problem trying to build
a case on the testimony of a prostitute
of this accountant town he's obsessed
with her he's also extremely lazy so
when he found out she had a head for
numbers begged and cajole to get her to
help with the books all right so we've
got an accountant
he was hormonal a charge right now who's
busy inputting her instead of numbers
right all right that's mildly
interesting get me the accountant then
we'll talk Chang's operations locked
down tight that's why you sent the
lawyers down to bail out the leak the
Freak that what she knows fine so find
another way in someone to corroborate
we'll build on that she's the real deal
if we can just set her up someplace safe
are you asking me for FSA expenses I'm
aware that my expense receipts are late
oh no not late absent an outstanding
total of 960 dollars I know you want to
put her on your own credit card that's
up to you
I'm max dad she's got nowhere to go and
I'm convinced that her life's in danger
then you should have thought about that
before instigating excuse me
hey rosemary missed you a step close
yeah
sweaty men in bike shorts are enough for
me okay
yeah man Robinson nice guy you ever want
to meet though so you're working the
bender case with us nope you call me
something else
yeah you got any credit card information
last three days Scott
Mary Jane run some Asian prostitution
rings hand over to a white-collar squad
like c7 or criminal enterprise it's on a
platter for us one of the girls in the
Bellflower radius gold mine back it out
what were you doing in Bellflower last
night I got a tip from my roommate who
happened to be on the scene that didn't
go down there and bail him out he was a
patron Johnny's not he's not meat look
anyway
you knew this girl Rita Pritchett met
her and he's very impressed it's God I
appreciate the enterprise she's talking
about a lot of coordination we've got
our hands full already today hello John
look I'm moderately intrigued with the
possibility of combining litigation
Chang but I gotta tell you flat-out I
don't have the manpower excuse me this
isn't gonna be labor-intensive I've got
a witness what kind of witness a
bookkeeper who worked her way off her
back look she knows every patron who
ever spent 50 bucks down to Bellflower
social club that's Chang's flagship John
normally I wouldn't climb this tree so
fast but as a favor to you I'll give it
a try you guys don't need me I'm
rosemary are you under the impression
that I asked you failed all I know a
stutter came staggering to my office at
seven o'clock this morning with all the
evidence on Chang am I missing something
no we'll play it out we're glad to have
you on board
starter promised me manpower okay you're
gonna have one of my probationary agents
Robinson or Reardon
I'll take Robinson
okay the last three calls vendor made
were to Mideast imports an 800 number
with an answering machine at the CIA
front night before last he called one
Jill Dolan in Pasadena they talked for
almost ten minutes then he called LA
colonial restaurant made reservations
for two vendor was a no-show but a woman
came waited for an hour I'm guessing
that was Jill Dolan the girlfriend
friend who spent a lot of time in this
balcony yeah I'd say it looks like two
packs for the lease my old man used to
say there's nothing like a good view to
make a big problem go away
what's going on Jack give me a favor
when we get back to the office
just case backs no speculation
I think this one's got a couple other
parts left on it enough to get you set
up in a nice motel cater with all the
fast food you can eat someplace safe
where we can get to work on your
testimony being followed by a black card
you could have a little more forthcoming
when they just pitch it there instead of
playing dumb like that
you turn you down for money for the
motel didn't do temporary glitch
everybody's very excited about the case
what's the matter with this car
why what do you want someplace safe
you want it's really safe here
you don't worry this man was arrested
with me yeah I know it's my roommate
where are you gonna find a motel with
you like this
all right let's go over some of the
background information we started on
this morning now you uh arrived in Long
Beach on a ship called the Pacific
investor with 30 other girls now right
yes in a cargo container you're
recruited in Thailand two and a half
years ago and led to believe it was four
cocktail waitressing isn't that right
son thought cocktail waitressing and you
know some new and that was by Chang's
representation each person according to
their gifts either day and what was your
again
I just I need to know a little something
about your life before you had access to
Harry's books
we were there for men you were forced to
have sex all the girls on Harry
you know money for the passage feeds to
America or to sleep at bed would be the
fastest way to pay how much was a
passage $100,000
I wanted that take it depends you know
so many years any of the girls every
gain of freedom six girls last year they
were sick with HIV so Harry let them go
okay
let's talk about the numbers what did
the account let you know me then let's
talk about me
roommate well you're the FBI and you say
you can help me in a big way we can
well Harry can get me a green card no II
can't we said you can say what you want
you want a green card we can get you the
bureau can get your green card all right
okay then we talk
Boyd's analysis confirms it's Royce
Bender's voice call was made three days
ago at 16 18 hours Ben Rollins is his
crisis code cover name friends across
the street saw four guys lounge around
the back of the building they thought
you should know and if I get any more
information I'll pass along Thanks
the shipment is a Libyan chemist named
Aziz Hassan and four guys lounging is
code name for what Libyan hit squad when
was the last time we were living in hit
in the States ten years twelve actually
but we're not starting off by
questioning the integrity of benders
message vendors job was to help us on
get acclimated to the American culture
which consists of what anything we ask
that once trip to Disneyland strip bars
Jill Dolan the girlfriend no answer no
machine I'll track an address maybe take
a run down there Washington believes
we're looking at one of two scenarios
the message is accurate and the Libyans
have compromised the operation or it's
misinformation meaning what vendors
turned I would hate to think that's true
but middle-eastern factions have been
known to offer large sums of money for
information on our operatives their
Washington wants it considered
so you're not buying any of this did I
say that Jack you don't really have to
say much for people know what you're
thinking most people would see that as
an asset are you doing I'm gonna grab my
last burger before the Libyan hit squad
gets us an e hmm come on the bender file
i cross-checked something oh listen uh
you know mal better than I do
do you know if there's anyone in his
life right now I don't think so what
who's that
Vargas from c7 huh mouths pretty
dedicated sound okay Thompson thank you
it's always been for sale I read
somewhere an average person thinks about
it every three minutes hmm
yeah some people think it should be
legal yeah man is that what you think
oh no course not I don't believe in
exploitation of anybody Jamie makes all
this money don't do the math it'll just
scare you
what the man that it represents can you
imagine having sex all day long
she's got grassy just call me Leslie
dreyfuses contaminant you intimidated a
client a person I'm an LA County I
presume that you're before me she fired
her lawyers it just happened to be in my
presence hmm well they're saying you
flash your credentials and literally
pulled her away from a representation I
don't even think she knew who they were
except probably Chang sent them you had
this what I told Rossi see we struck a
nerve Scott
where does your witnessed a moment
princess said he did not have proof on
telephones she's at my place you took
her to your she's perfectly safe what
she wants is a green card so I made a
couple phone calls what the si si has to
do is call immigration in Washington
have an informal consult with a guy
named Victor Gonzalez if Gonzalez can be
made to understand the value of Rita's
testimony things can happen green cards
can appear offer her the witness
protection program and get her out this
is a route that can result in her
getting the card it's a route we're not
gonna take Scott why not it's worth a
try look it's possible but the system is
not set up to do it I've already got a
message on Gonzalez's desk asked him to
call you for a private background and
mr. Gonzalez is not gonna call me and
that's a si grazie is not gonna go out
on a limb the best thing you've got
going is she trusts you now offer a
witness protection
hi uh this is Special Agent Amanda
Reardon down in c16 fine thank you
um it's actually Special Agent Jack
Toronto's birthday coming up and we
wanted to do a this is your life jack
Dorado saying um I was wondering can I
get a record of his assignment so I can
talk to some of the people he's worked
with and share anecdotes and things like
that you do great I can pick him up now
okay thanks I'll be right up okay
look I don't know what you want from the
agent urato I haven't talked to him in a
long time well so I guess it was your
husband who talked to him when he called
your house three days ago just tell me
what you know my father never made it to
my first communion or any of my school
pageants graduation high school and
college and you know why press of
business that's what he said it's been
his excuse for the past 15 years you
agreed to meet him at that restaurant I
know he didn't show but you agreed to
meet him yeah you know why cuz he cried
on the phone
Oh give me another chance Jill yeah yeah
well slap a big sucker sticker on me cuz
it's not gonna happen again this is your
father no this is an excuse for a father
big difference this is your father he's
in a lot of trouble his careers on the
line
yeah sure well everything's about his
career that's the only reason you're
here isn't it
oh you make me sick you guys you all
stick together you dress alike little
FBI dreams now listen to me young lady
this is a friend of mine I used to visit
your house in Maryland Joe please I need
your help why I don't care about you or
the bureau I don't care about any of
this
so if you find my father just tell him I
would have loved to help out except
pressive business
this witness protection program is
forever in some cases usually it's just
until the threat is gone
so I won't be Rita no it wouldn't be
safe they knew what I be well you'll
always be Rita it's just that now you
know I'd be Jane Jane the cashier or
Jesus shop girl but no pass no family
the best I can go okay set yourself last
night
they're already recruiting new girls and
every year they get younger and younger
when's it gonna stop you want me to be
Jane and Iowa I will go be Jane and Iowa
only if you bring my family here
you heard them threaten them if I do
this they will get hurt Rita like you
then make them safe I've got some
contacts look I got them into the
America never see those things over will
that help
you protect my family I'll go be chained
the vendor got a letter of reprimand in
92 apparently he used the Bureau of
surveillance team to check out some of
the kid from the was stating his
daughter make a good couple don't they
I'm just an observer of course any most
people around to your art I went out
with her the night I got the squad super
job I know when to celebrate with so I
felt her don't know why I did it
what happened went to dinner
I saw a few more times after that she's
quite attractive don't you think I'm
very centered no no I meant what
happened really
yeah thanks fenders being classified as
a security risk great why didn't you
tell me that you and vendor were first
off as agents together we should tell
the Lansky absolutely not
okay then I will how you will look you
have a personal stake in this the entire
Bureau thinks that vendors turned and
you know what they will do with that the
lack of candor cause for immediate
determination lack of candor it's 1997
why can't you just call it lie Jack I
know that you inventor have parallel
careers we work together a couple of
times
bender went to pursue driving school in
upstate New York in May of 1997 you went
to pursue driving school in upstate New
York in May of 1987 I referenced at
least three classes two assignments I
know that you both were in Chicago for
psych evaluations I know how friendships
start you were first office agents you
work with someone you spend a lot of
time together
what is this Reardon a hallmark moment
you in bender know each other very well
now you're trying to protect him all
right you little snoop
good job on the cross-reference thank
you vendors not a spy okay let's go tell
aunty there's no like a candid between
us right
vendors have trouble called me the other
night from the bar he wanted to meet I
was stuck on surveillance he sounded not
so good did you talk to the girlfriend
it's not his girlfriend it's his
daughter she's coming in to sign a
statement that she has no knowledge of
her father's whereabouts okay
so if you have a meeting with Jill Dolan
without me and I go back to my little
cubicle let me tell you what's gonna
happen the first time Olinsky looks me
in the eye I have to tell him everything
I know okay
agent benders credentials had no
fingerprints other than his a lab says
that they may have been wiped but you
know I'd like your input on another
topic yes sir sure I'm very interested
in nature of the relationship between
Robinson agent Vargas is there something
wrong sir
I mean are you asking me or just doesn't
matter so see two years ago when penny
and I were separated briefly my pursued
agent partners did and we have four
dates and then I never let it get too
far but finally she admitted that she
couldn't allow herself emotional
connection to the bureau superiors I
respected that
Wow
life goes on I guess thank you
hey hey can we join you
yeah please no yes
we're ready to issue a report your
father went over the libyans most likely
for money so everything you were saying
about his great loyalty to the bureau
joke was on us and turned when a good
agent goes bad it's a damn shame
goodbye pension here we're talking
espionage seditious conspiracy looking
at the death penalty
but feel was sinus active David will
make sure that you receive all the
contents of this desk in Denver you may
not remember me but I remember you look
it with a dirty face

old man called it princess polish so
what so what so you remember more than
you think you do I bet you even remember
me
maybe maybe
yeah
you used to give me lifesavers butter
rum father trying Joe maybe you should
have tried harder maybe wasn't a great
father maybe it was lousy but he tried I
know that he tried he called you again

meet him at some boat but I said no let
me tell you where it was docked Terminal
Island
