makes a mistake because he will I don't

care if I have to drag him in here every

20 minutes every time he's brought in it

shakes him up a little bit more you

what do think about this Robinson thing

what's to think through the pooch in the

application you know with the puppy he's

got potential he could be a good agent

listen to be a good agent doesn't mean

you never step over the line it means

you think two or three steps ahead

before you do it well you see this guy

go that's all anything on lotion yep

Reardon's doing an interview could be

something could be nothing but this guy

was pretty good at covering his tracks

guy doesn't surround himself with Nobel

Prize winners

someone's gonna talk sometime that does

talk to each other you know the pen

registers are still off in Aleutians

house way to get to the phone's title

three is expired and get nothing new to

go to the judge with who says anything

about going to a judge now just make

sure that they're everything shipshape

for a future wiretap check the lines you

checking the lines

I'm sorry illegal about that after I was

saying sir I'd like the bureau to stop

its involvement in my case it's not your

case man it's every agents case every

agent who has children or wants children

but this is still my case my bad

marriage of my husband my child my case

that not me

well the agent who did your background

check Rani Zellweger retired from the

bureau two months after completing it

and it was the only background check he

had done in his 24 year career you want

to tell me what's going on

it's kind of complicated do these

complications have anything to do with a

good friend of Zellweger's named dan

Herlihy dan Herlihy

okay I don't need to think about that

stuff okay oh I know where that he

helped me out

you gotta learn the difference between

righteousness and martyrdom Gracia no

your husband but he's jumped bail as you

already know yeah and he made you look

like a bunch of Schmucks yeah I was real

impressed there's a woman on this tape

mrs. illusion who your husband refers to

in very unflattering terms now we all

know your husband's a violent man so

we'd like to help this woman so if you

can identify her I mean identifying

nobody you know he's referring to mrs.

Lucia get out of here huh get off my

property now you figure out who she is

let us know

Lloris and of all what's going on she's

an informant you're over the line John

she offered to do it not without your

help you pushed her into prostituting

herself how far off from when she does

anyway you know John two years ago I had

a list five names five good name Dennis

- I crossed off because they always

played by their rules one I crossed off

because he never played by the rules and

one because he let me beat him on a

tennis court that left you and I asked

you if you were ready to change

scientist if you want to say yes John

you're a squad supervisor you're not a

lone gun anymore go home think about it

I've thought about it you want to fire

me Dennis do it otherwise I don't leave

here till I have loose

okay so I know that you know that was

about me on that tape really no kidding

that must have made you mad don't play

with me I am sick to my stomach what I

gave him my youth for my career that's

one of them

thinks I should die cancer huh well I

know a few things his whereabouts

perhaps if I knew that I'd go kill him

myself here who's this

Wow Peter Luger's gloves the ones he is

when he shot that FBI agent what's his

name

Gary Rose Peter lusion shot Nick Tully

what are you trying to pull here I want

Anatole gone

he ordered Peter to do it from prison ah

that was true pair of gloves don't do

anything for us oh they do when you've

got the murder weapon - that is in my

car I didn't think they'd be too

thrilled with me bringing a gun in here

how'd you get the weapon as a potion

okay fine

one day Peter comes in he's freaking out

he's got glass all over himself and he

says he's got no place to ditch this

stuff so I offered to help look I knew

Anatole was screwing around and I needed

some insurance what so he just gets sick

of me one day and dumps me oh I wanted

to make sure that I was taken care of

tell you the truth I really can't

believe that dope Peter even got in a

straight shot that Gary oh he must have

been a sitting duck

you people have two choices you can make

an attempt to deal with your divorce in

a civilized manner

or this comes into play what's that

details of your business dealings mr.

Rooney the number of fraudulent and

felonious statements you've made awesome

sir what about the stuff I've got on her

what kind of picture do you want me to

paint at the FBI you to take your

garbage to court you will both end up

stinking we're gonna say anything new

here because if not I'd like to limp

back to work he cries to you doesn't he

Jimmy he cries to me he cries to me

every night you know he used to love

Christmas and now it just makes him

anxious and it makes him scared come on

him to behave properly towards each

other

Jimmy our son is suffering let's try

this you withdraw your custody suit and

I will call off the dogs at the bureau

we will talk about nothing until Daniel

until we are capable of speaking to each

other like human beings again what does

that get us

Danny's peace of mind and who gets Danny

something if you think you can hear it

Peter illusion shot Nick telling wait

did you

you sent me to Nick's killer you've

listened to what we did did the right

thing Laura listen to me we're closer we

could bring Peter in now well then why

don't you tell me would you roll over on

his brother thank you in a couple days

Lucien will be going that's a fact we

think his brother Peters when making the

arrangers cuz no one knows where Anatoly

isn't that even his wife we have got to

get to Laura what would you do for

somebody you love give up an arm leg

what would I do

you know what he was with me

he brought me back from hell when Nick

came to pull me out from undercover

I came at him I wanted to beat him to

death let's get between me and my drugs

I tried to kill him

when I came at him a long to me she can

held me so tight I could not move he

held me so close I could not bite and he

carried me in his arms back into my life

he gave me my

that's a fair price

I know he tried to save you Laura I know

he loved you

but I didn't understand to the other

night was why on just how much you

deserved it you're wrong about yourself

Nick was right like he was right about

me

we have to do this man

can't huh

roberson this is not a good time to talk

to you sir all right while I was in

college I was recruited by an FBI agent

that told him all about the situation

with my brother when this agent say he

said it wouldnt be a problem his very

words he said things were changing in

the bureau and you accepted that I was

worried called him several times but you

say I shouldn't be concerned because my

application was going through just fine

I thought if there was gonna be a

problem it would come out in the

background check but it didn't and I

didn't because this agent fixed it so

that his friend who was too much away

from retirement did the check he didn't

even find out that I had a brother you

were still responsible for your own

application

yes sir but to me this man was too

Bureau he told me the FBI was looking

for African Americans and no I knew I

could do this job as well as anybody any

color but you knew it was wrong I know

how cool I am sir but he represented the

bureau and whatever his motive was for

lying I took no part in that because

with or without him I would have been a

good agent and I have to deal a good

agent you know Robinson I appreciate the

fact that you are a stand-up guy because

you realize it wouldn't be difficult at

all to find out who this man is and then

if he hadn't lied I wouldn't know that

you were a good agent so you're telling

me that two wrongs make a right I told

you I could tell you sir I want to stay

on their peril

finally mamasan I've been looking for a

fig leaf I think you may just have given

me one you report to a Lansky full
