"Problem is, the prosecutor can ask you anything he wants." "Frankly, I don't think you can beat the case in court." "Because I represent Masters, I can't get deeply involved in your case." "So what should I do?" " Beat 'em to the punch and make a deal." " What kind of deal?" "You offer to plead guilty and to testify against your partner." "The FBI's not gonna want a lot of publicity on this." "I suspect they'll go along with a guilty plea." "How much time would I have to do?" "Probably get you off with seven years."
