"Shivin' a motherfucker is not gonna help you beat this case." "I got everything in here on lock, all right?" "What are you doing to get me out?" "My hands are tied until I find out what the prosecution's narrative's gonna be." "They got your fingerprints and your DNA under Greg's fingernails." "Don't know what other evidence they got." "Evidence is bullshit." "Angela is fucking furious because I dumped her, period." "She's framing me, man." "You need to tell them about our relationship." "Are you out of your fucking mind?" "Introducing a love triangle between James St. Patrick," "Angela Valdes and Greg Knox is a slam dunk." "Think about it, it gives us the cleanest motive." "SAXE:" "Juries love a motive." "I agree with Saxe." "James St. Patrick killed Greg in a jealous rage and the jury will understand." "Who gives a fuck if Valdes gets disbarred?" "It's a small price to pay for her indiscretions." "Love triangle would have been a great narrative, except, all of you assholes knew" "Valdes was sleeping with both of them." "If that became public knowledge, all of you would potentially be called up as witnesses for the defense, royally fucking your credibility and the department's." "SAXE:" "But this is the narrative we can prove." "We put Angela on the stand, she gives us the case in one piece of testimony." "We get ahead of the story, right, Mike?" "Sorry I'm late." "Got off on the wrong floor." "Angela, have a seat." "PROCTOR:" "Introducing your relationship will be handing the jury a motive, wrapped in a bow." "If you take the stand, the prosecution will eviscerate you." "The "jealous ex" narrative will turn this trial into a soap opera." "The jury would ignore the evidence, focus on the sex." "You had a sexual relationship with the defendant," "James St. Patrick?" "You're under oath, Angela." "You're not really considering putting me on the stand?" "I have to consider everything." "You had a sexual relationship with James St. Patrick, yes or no?" "Yes." "And where did you meet to have sex with Mr. St. Patrick?" "At her apartment, at my nightclub, at the St. James Hotel." "Did she know you were married when you started sleeping with her?" "Yes, I knew." "So you had to hide it?" "If we check the credit card records, will it show that you were slipping out during work hours..." "Having an affair on taxpayer dollars?" "Reminding you, you're under oath." "Maybe once or twice." "We met whenever we could." "You knew her since high school." "Is it fair to say you've been in love with her for almost 20 years?" "He was my first love." "So you dumped Knox for St. Patrick?" "After all, he was your first love." "And after she broke up with Knox, he became obsessed with both of you, starting following you?" "Yes." "He followed me and Angela." "He never found anything." "I filed a formal complaint, and Greg was suspended." "And then you moved in with St. Patrick, even though he had stolen government property from your apartment to help Tommy Egan out of prison." "That didn't seem like a conflict of interest?" "You gave up your family, your apartment, everything to be with her." "You finally had your childhood dream." "It was unrealistic, at best." "So you broke up with St. Patrick and got back together with Knox." "How did you think the defendant would react?" "You snapped." "She was the love of your life, and you wanted revenge." "Did you know that James St. Patrick was capable of murder?" "The woman you sacrificed everything for, the woman you loved since you were a teenager, she got back with this FBI agent, Knox." "You couldn't live with it, so you killed him." "No, I would never kill anyone in law enforcement." "You mean to say you'd never kill anyone, right, Mr. St. Patrick?" "Why the distinction?" "Have you killed anyone before?" "Have you ever killed anyone, Mr. St. Patrick?" "If you get on the stand, you cannot lie, James." "Once you're convicted of perjury, you cannot take the stand in your own defense ever again." "So if you say "no" to that question, we're fucked in the courthouse for the rest of your life." "You can't put me on the stand." "You can't put me on the stand." "Damn right, we can't, and that goes for you two too." "If you were called up to testify under penalty of perjury, you would have to admit that you knew Angela Valdes had romantic relationships with Knox and St. Patrick." "James St. Patrick, a known associate of Thomas Egan, the man your office is trying to prove is Ghost." "And that's the story." "Not Angela and St. Patrick." "The story is St. Patrick and Egan." "The story is St. Patrick and Ghost." "Okay, so what do we do?" "Unfortunately, we have to wait for the prosecution's next move." "In the meantime, you need to make some calls on the prison's phone system." "Be James St. Patrick." "Let people know you're gonna be in here awhile."
