"You lied to me the first time we met." "You haven't stopped since." "That's all going to end right now." "McGOWAN:" "Just as we've sworn to uphold all the laws, we don't get to choose which rules we obey." "CHARLIE:" ""Crito, we owe a rooster "to Asclepius." "Please don't forget to pay the debt."" "How does 20 years sound?" "Thirty?" "Life?" "I have the warrant." "Let's do this right." "We don't want her walking." "Don't worry, she's not walking."

"Post-Vietnam, law enforcement wasn't all that popular a vocation." "I read your file." "I've seen the way you operate." "You're the future of this department, Agent Sinclair." "I appreciate that." "One day, when you've had the benefit of sitting in that chair as long as I have, you'll understand that the department is a lot bigger than any case or individual." "You swore an oath to the FBI... not Don Eppes." "I'm well aware of my responsibilities." "Did Professor Eppes act on his own, or was he led astray by his brother?" "Nobody leads Charlie Eppes anywhere, least of all Don." "So they have a bad relationship?" "They're brothers, so there's a little bit of arguing and a lot of success, but Charlie is his own man." "And if Don failed to stop him, then you're saying it was Professor Eppes' idea to begin with." "I'm not saying anything." "Again." "Okay, that's it." "Hey, well done, Charles." "Thank you, thank you, but we wouldn't have been successful without your aerodynamics work." "You know, it is very cool that the Aprilia MotoGP asked for your help with this." "It is very cool." "But before you pop the champagne, you do realize that this only improved the air flow by 1/1000 of a second." "Yeah, but, you know, in the world of grand prix motorcycle racing, that means the difference between a first and second place finish." "Or the time it takes light to travel from Milwaukee to Chicago and back or the ruby-throated hummingbird to flap its wings once or even..." "I'm sure you could go on all day." "Team Eppes, time for a pit stop." "Hello?" "Okay." "Yeah, I'll be right over." "I got to go." "Hey." "Clearance or no clearance, he still knows how to make an exit." "DON:" "Did you get a good jury or something?" "Better." "What's up?" "What do you say to a weekend at the St. Regis New York City, first class, all expenses paid?" "YeahI like it." "Skadden Arps law firm has been following my work, and they want to interview me for a job." "They said I could bring a friend." "Don, LAPD has eight dead in a coffee shop, Mid-Wilshire." "What, they're asking for us?" "Yeah, joint investigation." "It's a mass murder." "Their lab's already overstretched." "Going to need our help." "Well, let's just, uh... we'll talk about it later, okay?" "Hey, how you doing?" "(sighs):" "What do you say, Colby?" "Looks like Fallujah in there." "We got eight dead, five with shots to the back of the head execution style." "Any kind of motive?" "Boys in blue are saying robbery." "If this was a robbery, it's the dumbest crew I've ever seen." "What kind of robbers leave $500 behind?" "Jerry Lowe." "LAPD, off-duty." "Stops here a couple times a week on his way home." "You know him?" "No, but when I worked narco out of Rampart, he was a patrol team leader." "That gun's unsnapped." "COLBY:" "Must have gone for it and not been ?" "Ryder, on the other hand, made a play, but knives don't deflect bullets." "What about this guy here?" "No money, no I.D., no idea." "COLBY:" "Maybe he followed the cook's lead, tried to be a hero." "Five people were brought back here and executed." "What's with the gold watch?" "Why didn't they grab that?" "Rolex." "They didn't go for the cash or the gold." "All right." "Jon Schmidt, Robbery Homicide." "Don Eppes." "I'm glad to see you guys are here." "We could really use the assist." "Jerry Lowe worked for me over at Intel Division." "Now, he was a good man." "He did not deserve this." "CHARLIE:" "I have clearance to be here." "What the hell's going on?" "He's with us." "I'm working for the LAPD." "LAPD heard about my suspension, and they said all I needed to do was pass a polygraph exam." "What, you don't tell me?" "I..." "I didn't think they'd need me so soon." "The lab rats say they're gonna need time that we don't have to unscramble the mess in there." "All right, well, let..." "let's see." "Um, would it help to know where everyone was seated?" "Because that's a simple question of aggregation." "Yeah, sure." "Yeah." "During lunch at any typical high school cafeteria, each student looks for a seat, but students aren't always free to sit where they want." "It's dictated by the first group to enter." "So, let's say the cheerleaders enter first." "Next come the jocks." "Naturally, the jocks want to be near the cheerleaders." "The next group to enter are the mathematicians." "The mathematicians want to be as far away from the jocks as possible, so that no one gets picked on." "And it's the same thing here." "You know, a truck driver who's used to being alone is gonna sit at the counter." "An elderly lady is gonna sit far away from the jukebox." "A young couple in a booth." "Right, exactly, and an aggregation model filters through the characteristics of the victims and searches for their strongest attributes to determine their most likely choice of seat." "DON:" "What up?" "Boss wants you to go interview a Kurt Young." "SCHMIDT:" "The guy who runs Zenith Studios?" "Yeah, he's got Brangelina on speed dial." "DAVID:" "Apparently, it has to do with this case." "You were supposed to be there five minutes ago." "I understand an LAPD detective," "Jerry Lowe, was killed this morning." "Yeah, that's interesting, 'cause the names haven't been released yet." "I don't wait for the news to get my information." "Oh?" "Lowe was blackmailing me for the last two years." "He worked in Intelligence." "He spied on people for the LAPD." "What did he have on you?" "Enough." "Enough to keep me from going to the FBI." "Nothing illegal... but considerably embarrassing." "You think I look into him, I'm gonna find that file?" "I never forget favors." "(chuckles):" "I don't need any favors." "Everyone needs favors, Agent Eppes." "Consider how quickly your boss sent you here." "DAVID:" "You still think Lowe is the flash point." "NIKKI:" "And if Young had reason to want Lowe dead, maybe he hires someone to whack him." "You know, Lowe fought back." "Chain reaction put eight stiffs in the morgue." "Finished a time line for Jesse Martinez, taxi driver." "Jerry Lowe left two kids behind." "The waitress, Renee Collins... she left four." "Single parent mom." "The cook, Ryder, lived with his old man." "He's in a wheelchair, totally dependant on his son's steady paycheck." "I know that Lowe was a cop, but that doesn't make him any more special than the rest." "In LAPD... you kill a cop, that's a priority." "In the FBI, if you kill eight people, they're all a priority." "You know, the LAPD is a fascinating organization." "You know, they invented SWAT." "They invented community policing, the D.A.R.E. program." "Not to mention Joe Friday." "Oh, yeahhe's from Dragnet, right?" "CHARLIE:" "Yeah, and you know, his badge number, 714... it's been retired-- no officer can wear it." "That's odd, that's the same number stamped on U.S.-made Quaalude tablets." "It's not really relevant how I know that." "What's up?" "It's just nice to see you happy again." "The Eppes spark is back." "I have my very own spark now?" "Most definitely." "Actually, it's more like a rearranging of molecules." "Hey, speaking of rearranging molecules, you see where Professor Eric Kolokoff has designed a new kind of graphene-based digital paper?" "Yeah, apparently it's flexible, just like authentic parchment." "Think of the trees that will save." "I'm sorry." "Oh, it's okay, it happens." "Professor Eppes, it seems you have some results." "All right, I'll go call Don." "Uh, you mean Schmidt." "Right." "ROBIN:" "So, Jerry Lowe was blackmailing the head of Zenith Studios." "That makes Young suspect number one by default." "Let me ask you something." "You know anything about LAPD's Intelligence Division?" "It's like their answer to the CIA." "Became prominent in the '60s, infiltrating radical groups." "Some people would say they got carried away." "It was a big scandal a couple years back." "Officers were getting files on prominent officials, celebrities." "So what, it's just like J. Edgar used to do." "The judge is signing the warrants for Lowe's bank accounts, so we should know soon enough whether Young is telling the truth." "Okay." "So I guess you are pretty busy, huh?" "Yeah." "You know, I can push the trip off a week or two." "I'm sure the law firm wouldn't mind." "Ah, you know something else is probably gonna pop up." "I need to go check on those warrants." "CHARLIE:" "Using an aggregation model, we can see where each victim was located." "No offense, Charlie, but I'm glad the FBI suspended you." "Except there's only seven bodies here." "There's supposed to be eight." "That's because victim number three," "Benito Alvarez, didn't fit in anywhere." "NIKKI:" "What do you mean he doesn't fit in?" "Think of a high school cafeteria." "Each student is seated in their respective seats, when a new student comes in." "Now, he hasn't established a circle of friends yet, so he's not quite sure where to sit." "Number three was on the move." "Exactly." "Benito Alvarez." "Man of the hour." "Lab found gunshot residue all over his hand." "How much?" "Enough to shoot seven people." "Okay, well, if Alvarez was the shooter, then what happened to his gun?" "?" "F Benito Alvarez scrubbed out of LAPD Academy after ten weeks." "He failed a drug test?" "Yeah, so he movesto his next best career choice, scumbag for rent." "And he's the guy that Young hires to 86 Lowe." "So, what, he commits suicide 'cause he's guilty?" "And then, what, his gun just walks out the door?" "What year does it say he washed out?" "1992." "The year that Lowe graduated." "They were classmates." "A 16-year vet and a guy who failed a pee test drink coffee and watch the sun rise together?" "I mean, that make sense to you?" "What if he was snitching for Lowe?" "What time did you say that 911 call came in?" "Um, lady walking by with her dog heard gunshots." "Dispatch got the call at 5:30." "All right, 'cause Lowe, our cop-- he made four phone calls to the exact same number." "First one at 0520, and the last one at 0528." "Must have done it while Alvarez wasn't looking." "You unsnap your gun, expecting to get in a gunfight, and you don't call the cops?" "He called Lynn Potter," "Marina Del Rey." "Agents Granger and Sinclair." "Have I done something wrong?" "Don't know yet." "Well, why don't you come in and let's find out?" "COLBY:" "So, you know a police officer named Jerry Lowe?" "LYNN:" "Obviously, you know I do, but I didn't kill eight people, if that's what you're asking." "Lowe called you four times before he was killed." "I didn't get any messages." "Where were you 5:00 a.m. yesterday morning?" "Passed out on the couch." "I fell asleep watching L.A. Confidential." "Lowe and I met last year, had a little thing." "COLBY:" "Well, it must have been more than just a little thing for him to call you instead of 911." "You telling me, four calls, you didn't hear one of them?" "My cell phone was off." "I only turn it on when I need something." "Here you go." "I had 'em lighten the action." "Tell me how that feels." "Yeah." "Yeah?" "Yeah, that's good." "Why didn't you tell me you were looking for another job?" "I haven't decided anything." "I'm just exploring my possibilities." "My father didn't pay my way through Harvard so I could make 70 grand a year." "Yeah." "It's a great opportunity." "I just, um..." "I'm listening." "I'm just not, you know..." "NIKKI:" "Preliminary ballistics." "All victims were shot with 9mm rounds." "Same gun?" "We don't know yet, but ERT found these." "All stamped law enforcement only." "I thought Lowe didn't fire his gun." "DON:" "He didn't." "Alvarez did." "Well, why is he carrying law enforcement ammunition if Alvarez isn't a cop anymore?" "You didn't forget to tell us anything about Alvarez?" "Like he's still on LAPD payroll?" "I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell you guys that earlier." "Alvarez worked deep cover for me over at Intelligence, all right?" "Now, after we disbanded, he was just rolled over into narcotics." "The chief only just authorized me to read you guys in." "At the time of his death," "Alvarez was still involved in sensitive operations." "What was he doing at the coffee shop?" "He and Lowe stayed tight, you know." "I mean, it's not like they could join a bowling league together." "DON:" "So it was just the wrong place, wrong time?" "exactly." "And I know those guys." "Those guys would have gone down swinging." "After Lowe was shot, I'm thinking," "Alvarez must have broken cover, right, and fired at their killer." "You got a suspect?" "Yeah." "Derek Broxton." "Now this guy served seven yearsfor a bank job." "Lowe put him in there." "Alvarez testified as a snitch in his trial." "NIKKI:" "Yeah, released three months ago." "Skipped bail, believed to be in Brazil." "Brazil, my ass." "Now, we picked up his little girlfriend last night." "And if she's here, he's here." "All right, Broxton finds out that Lowe goes to the coffee shop regularly." "Maybe he meets Alvarez there." "And with Broxton's rap sheet, eight dead is not a stretch." "Yeah, but why didn't...?" "You know what?" "I'm gonna catch up with you in a minute, okay?" "Mm-hmm." "All right." "Nice digs you got here." "Oh, hey." "Yeah, you like this, huh?" "Yeah." "They hooked me up." "Even has a view." "I see." "Pretty cool." "I don't know." "I never thought I'd miss this so much." "You know, waking up in the morning, and crime scenes, and..." "Uh-oh." "You're in trouble, man." "You're addicted." "McGowan's coming after me pretty hard, huh?" "Ah, just tell the truth." "Well, truth is... you wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for me." "Charlie,he's coming after me for me." "You just got to get your clearance back,all right?" "I mean,I can take care of myself." "McGOWAN:" "As a former military man, you must realize the importance of following rules." "Had a Lieutenant used to say,only one rule mattered." "When in doubt,empty your magazine." "So you approve of what Professor Eppes did?" "No." "Not necessarily." "He broke with policy." "That's undeniable." "Maybe technically,but... sometimes following the rules will get you killed faster." "I was undercover for three years." "Ended with a commendation and your pick of assignment." "Yeah,and almost got myself turned into fish food in the process." "Charlie went outside the box, and saved my ass." "And how about Agent Eppes?" "What,are you kidding?" "I mean,if Don hadn't listened to his gut,I'd be dead." "So Agent Eppes broke with policy,too." "Let's keep going." "Do we have to?" "How'd it go with McGruff the crime dog?" "Uh,felt like I was six years old again, talking to my old man." "DAVID:" "Yeah,five more minutes," "I would have confessed to the Kennedy assassination." "Oh,no." "I've seen this road before." "Which road is that?" "One that says all stalkers this way." "I'm just following a hunch." "I'm getting the feeling she's holding out on us." "DAVID:" "I see what you mean." "I'm starting to get a hunch myself." "COLBY:" "A.K.A. Lindsay Farmer." "Arrested for prostitution." "Brought in by Officer Jerry Lowe." "Schmidt just called." "Derek Broxton's girlfriend just gave up his loc." "SCHMIDT:" "LAPD in place on the front side." "FBI?" "We're clearing the back side." "Flash bangs being thrown in three,two,one." "Don't move." "Hands in the air!" "Easy." "Why did you shoot?" "You know something?" "Thank you might be nice, considering I just saved your life." "He was surrendering." "He was reaching for his gun." "Well,congratulations,Hoover boy." "Looks like you just caught yourself the coffee shop killer." "I just got a call from a friend at LAPD Personnel Bureau." "Said you got a warrant to pull Schmidt's PPI file?" "I want to see how many shootings he's been in." "Is that okay by you,Agent?" "Schmidt saved your life." "Were you there?" "What's going on?" "Nothing." "Well,it doesn't sound like nothing." "SID found Alvarez' gun in Broxton's house along with a Glock 9mm." "Now,between the two, we have ballistic matches for all eight victims in the coffee shop." "Sorry to disappoint you." "Hey,wait a minute." "Come here." "What are you doing?" "That guy's got four years working for me." "You've got four weeks." "What's your story?" "Are we trying to close a mass murder investigation or dime out a hero cop?" "Lowe and Alvarez both had $150,000 in unreported cash between them." "They both worked for Schmidt,they're both dead." "This is the FBI." "We police the police,you understand?" "I only got involved with the FBI to work with my brother." "I should be back at Cal Sci,I should." "And you know what I am?" "I'm a crime junkie." "I should be worrying about prime numbers in the Goldbach conjecture,rather than the rising number of 187s in South Central." "Exactly." "Or,uh,or,you know,the pattern trends in the Hadamard matrix, rather than the pattern trends of 211s in West LA." "Amen." "I've took the Euler-Mascheroni constant to 1,400,064 digits, but who knows if that's really a rational number?" "And-And what is a 211?" "Maybe it's time to call it a day and put everything back into the big question." "There's no shame in that." "No,I can do more good for the world with one important theorem than I can with all these cases combined." "Just last year,graph theory led to an increase number of kidney transplants." "Exactly,and who knows how many thousands of lives that will save?" "You're scared,aren't you?" "Terrified." "I'm a consultant whose found a passn in police work." "That's Don's job,it's his life." "It's his pension,it's his health insurance, and all that's in jeopardy now." "I think you and Don can handle it." "He sacrificed for me when we were kids." "I'm sure he has no regrets." "I do." "I don't want him to have to go through that again." "Lowe arrested you for prostitution, and you became his CI." "I was out there alone, he protected me." "No one had ever done things like that for me before." "I should have told you,it's just..." "I thought it was all behind me." "I'm trying to open this little boutique, secondhand clothes." "I don't need anything messing up my loan application." "That hurt as much as it looks like it does?" "I want the truth." "Lowe got a little obsessed with me." "Wanted to leave his wife, but..." "But what,that's a line you weren't willing to cross?" "Life's a balancing act-- you got the good and bad." "Seems one's always pushing or pulling you to cross it." "When was the last time you saw Lowe?" "Do you ever stop asking questions?" "Looks like Kurt Young may be telling the truth about Lowe blackmailing him." "These are cash deposit?" "All under what the IRS requires the bank to declare." "And Benito Alvarez has matching amounts, although he's a bit smarter and he spread them out over several accounts." "I don't care how much money Kurt Young has, blackmail still gives him motive." "Maybe he just didn't want thatile to get out." "You going to New York?" "Yeah,on the red-eye tomorrow night." "If I didn't have this thing with McGowan," "I just..." "Look,you already said you can't go." "Right?" "So,let's just move on." "DON:" "You know Benito Alvarez?" "Lowe's partner." "Aw,come on,man." "The guy had $80,000 of your money in his bank account." "Confirming what I've already told you." "And y,again,is it that you didn't come to us before?" "And indict two LAPD cops?" "Great way to keep my secret a secret." "And I take it you haven't found my file yet?" "No,Mr. Young,I don't give a damn about your file." "Then what are you doing here?" "I got eight dead people, two of whom you had a problem with." "If I had killed them,I'd have my file back." "And I never would've called you." "Mr. Young." "LAPD digital records-- every radio call,MDT transmission,e-mail or report" "Lowe or Alvarez ever put their name on." "How did you get them so quickly?" "I used to date a guy." "Turns out now he dates a guy." "Look,anyway," "I'm not saying that I was wrong and you were right, all right,but... if Lowe and Alvarez were dirty..." "A lot of tapes, a lot of hours." "I hear there's a guy over at LAPD now who comes up with magic shortcuts." "This the way all your interrogations wind up?" "No,thiss definitely a first." "Why did you do it?" "I mean,become an FBI agent." "Gary Cooper." "Didn't he die before we were born?" "I broke my leg when I was ten years old," "I spent the whole summer in bed." "So my uncle gave us his VCR." "My dad,the only movie he bought was High Noon." "So I just watched that over and over again." "I still can't figure out why Lowe called you four times." "Did you get me into bed to make love or question me?" "Marshal Kane gave back his badge, but he was never off duty." "This is nice,you know." "A little tranquility in the eye of the storm." "So,how's life treating you,Donnie?" "You know Robin might be moving to New York?" "New York?" "Got some great opportunity with this big law firm." "How do you feel about that?" "I don't want her to go." "Have you told her?" "Not exactly." "Things never change with you,do they?" "You and your women." "Anyway,it doesn't matter." "I suppose." "COLBY:" "David." "Hey,was thinking about sending out a search party for you." "Yeah,I stopped by Lynn Potter's house." "What did she have to say?" "Please tell me you did not sleep with a material witness in a murder investigation." "I screwed up." "No,no,screwing up is leaving your gun in the bathroom." "This is messed up." "David,it was a one-time thing,man." "I mean,it was just bad judgment." "That's terrible judgment." "Look,I don't think she's a part of it." "This is coming from the guy who just got naked with her." "Listen to me,man,stay away from her." "If you can't manage to do that, then you make damn sure that she stays away from you." "So,my program analyzed those DVDs." "I got my results using a hidden Markov model." "From machine learning." "You know what he's talking about?" "Aw,you learn quick around here." "Um... okay, so,picture a 3-D stereogram." "A field filled with row of cabbage." "You don't really see anything special, but when you continue to look at it and let your eye focus on a distant point, you see another picture hidden within it." "All right,now,similarly, the information you presented here appears to be an average distribution of police work." "Until,like the stereogram,you stare at it, you look at the data over and over and over again, and... a hidden pattern emerges." "This is the sector that Lowe was patrolling since he left the Intelligence Division." "On any shift, there are beeen five and eight cars patrolling." "Lowe was Adam-14." "He's supposed to stay in that sector,unless a call comes in where he needs to be readjusted to back-up another unit." "Everything appears to be fairly random until one call comes up." "It's Bel-Air." "Same address comes up every week." "And Lowe responds every time." "It's not in his sector,but he's always the closest car." "Because he knows the call is coming in." "It's Kurt Young's house." "DAVID:" "Once a week Young dials 911." "Dispatch sends Lowe's car to respond because it's nearest." "NIKKI:" "Then Lowe goes inside Young's house,picks up the cash." "No witnesses,nice and clean." "After every call,Lowe goes code seven-- lunch break-- with a detective unit from Robbery/Homicide Division." "Schmidt." "His old boss from Intel." "Schmidt's too smart to show up at Young's house." "Lowe is his bagman." "DON:" "Two weeks ago,look who shows up, three times in two days." "Yeah,maybe Schmidt got tired of splitting the money with Lowe and Alvarez." "Schmidt cuts a side deal with Young." "Lump of cash for the file." "It's a buyout." "Yeah,but Schmidt doesn't have the file." "Lowe does." "Schmidt confronts Lowe and Alvarez at the coffee shop, but they won't give it up." "Schmidt has to kill Lowe,Alvarez and the cook." "Then he has to make sure there are no witnesses." "So he takes Alvarez's gun and shoots the remaining five customers." "That's a great theory." "How the held we prove that?" "Those are weekly calls to 911-- burglary,vandalism,trespassing." "All with your voice." "I pay a lot of taxes." "Part of my right is to have the police respond promptly." "Lowe shows up at your house every week,and he's dead." "I did not hide the fact that he was blackmailing me." "And Schmidt shows up two weeks ago instead." "All right,I'm calling your supervisor." "I already did." "You know what?" "He called the US Attorney." "So,I think you might be out of friends." "Schmidt said he was going to get my file." "I didn't ask how." "Whatever he did, it's not my responsibility." "You're going to help me." "and what,testify against a cop who just killed eight people?" "He sees me show up in the same room as you," "I'm going to be number nine." "And if you had a real case against Schmidt, you wouldn't even need me." "Roll scene seven. (intercom beeps)" "MAN (over intercom):" "Right away,Mr. Young." "Hey,do you mind?" "DON:" "You killed eight people." "SCHMIDT:" "And just who's your source" " Kurt Young?" "Hmm?" "The man makes movies for a living." "He's got to have a vivid imagination." "You would know,you're the one who's blackmailing him." "Yeah,good luck getting Young to the witness stand." "He's probably going to have to cancel his waxing appointment." "You went to get the file from Lowe and he didn't have it." "What file?" "I'm not in handcuffs." "I don't see my union rep." "So..." "I'm thinking you've got absolutely nothing on me." "Don." "Come on,Eppes, you know I've been playing this game as long as you have." "Yeah?" "Mmm." "How's 20 years sound?" "Thirty?" "Life?" "You know something" " I came in here under my own power... and I'm leaving the same way." "You know,I hear that sodium thiopental is cold when it goes in your veins." "You look forward to that." "Schmidt doesn't have the file." "Without the file,he gets no money." "Lowe panicked." "Why?" "He made four phone calls." "He was trying to get the file." "And the person holding it for him didn't answer." "I'll get the warrant for Lynn Potter, you don't move until I get back." "You know,Charlie,I haven't seen you this concerned since you were being considered for a Fields." "AMITA:" "You know he's right,Charlie." "The charges were dropped and you helped a friend out." "You should feel confident and proud." "What if getting my clearance back means betraying my brother?" "It's a bit like Socrates,isn't it?" "Sentenced to die but with the opportunity to live-- if he renouncedeverything he believed in." "Professor Eppes,my first question involves case #9767-- subject by the name of Crystal Hoyle." "Crystal Hoyle who kidnapped Agent Reeves?" "I understand" "Agent Ian Edgerton beat a suspect and your brother allowed it." "I don't know anything about that." "I know Megan's life was at stake." "So you're an ends justify the means kind of guy." "I'm simply saying, that I've learned from watching the men and women at the FBI, that risking your own life invariably saves others." "Even if on occasion that means breaking the rules." "Mmm,like your brother did when he let Clay Porter,a deadly felon,walk away." "Agent McGowan,I thought this was about me getting my securityclearance back?" "You don't think I felt like beating my share of crooks?" "Guys who run kiddy porn rings, turn 13 year olds out on the street." "But I didn't-- because there are rules we must adhere to." "Rules prevent misuse of power." "Just as we've sworn to uphold all the laws... we don't get to choose which rules we obey." ""Crito,we owe a rooster to Asclepius." "Please don't forget to pay the debt."" "Excuse me?" "I'm not going to throw my brother under a bus." "He threw himself under the bus." "We both know your brother's been getting more and more reckless." "One of these screwups... he won't be able to cover." "Help him." "I'll be at home waiting for your decision." "I will respect your decision either way." "I'm glad you called." "Wasn't sure I'd get to see you tonight." "Nice to see you,too." "You lied to me the first time we met, you haven't stopped since." "That's all gonna end right now." "You're an accessory to murder." "I'm not a criminal." "Why don't you stop talking like a cop and start acting like a human being." "You are a son of a bitch." "Listen to me." "This guy's killed eight people." "We connected the dots,so trust me, so has he." "Leave me alone." "(clears throat) Not now,David." "I have the warrant,let's do this right." "We don't want her walking." "Don't worry,she's not walking." "You've jeopardized this investigation." "Yeah,gotta go." "Lynn..." "Lynn,wait a minute." "I was holding onto the file as a favor." "I may have broke it off with Lowe, but I still cared about him." "You want it-- fine." "Take the damn thing." "Just let me go." "You paid Lowe and Alvarez over $150,000." "I have never denied that." "From a bank account in France,via New Zealand, where there's a holding company that wrote checks for a movie called City of Twilight, that's being released by your studio."

"Eventually someone will." "Which is why you have to go." "I meant getting the file back." "That's what I do." "I'll never tell anyone,you have to realize that." "Yeah,but I'll know."

"It is now." "Charlie Eppes is a vital part of the FBI." "And as Supervisor of the Los Angeles Violent Crime Squad, it is my belief that I cannot perform my duties without him." "You realize what you're saying?" "Yeah.Charlie's back,or I'm gone." "You and your brother have the same way of looking at things." "You know that?" "I haven't heard that,but,uh..." "I'll take it."
