"Previously on shark:" "12 years ago I worked for a man named jason normandy." "Your place is beautiful." "Meet my assistant sarah belkin." "Jason normandy killed her... nobody's gonna miss her." "And I did nothing about it." "You need to get normandy." "That could mean putting you on the stand." "You do that,you'll be disbarred." "Yeah,not to mention facing criminal charges." "Did you witness the defendantdispose of the body of sarah belkin in 1995?" "Yes." "There's a good chance you'll be disbarred." "Sebastian stark,you stand accused of blatant and sordid misconduct as a memberof the california state bar." "Highlighted by your admitted complicity in a conspiracy to cover up the brutal murderof sarah belkin in 1996." "Before this panel rulesas to whether to recommenda formal disbarment hearing, do you have anything you wishto say in your defense?" "Do I at least get a cigaretteand a blindfold?" "Do you find this funny,Mr. Stark?" "No,sir." "Nor will I make any excusesfor what I've done." "I allowed greed and ambitionto cloud my judgment." "I allowed sarah belkin's killersto get away with their crime for 12 years." "And I denied her family... any knowledge of her fate." "As for the other incidentsin my past-- right,wrong,guilt,innocence¡ª for me,that was completely irrelevant." "I was in it to win." "Nothing else mattered." "Least of all the truth." "And then two yrseago,all that completely changed." "And for the first timein my life,I feel I may be doing some good." "So I guess the question is, can the good that I do now outweigh the badthat I've done in the past?" "It's something I ask myselfevery day." "And I still don't havethe answer." "I don't knowif it's possible to change,but I sure as hell am trying." "If you will give mea second chance,I'd like to keep trying." "The panel appreciatesyour candor,Mr. Stark." "It isn't easy to admitone's mistakes and to try to correct them." "However,the state bardoesn't deal in absolution." "You are hereby suspended pendinga full disbarment hearing." "If convicted,you will lose your license to practice law in this state." "We're adjourned." "You should havelet us testify." "I'm in enough trouble already." "This isn't over yet." "We've still got thedisbarment hearing." "And I appreciate the optimism but the thermometerin my butt popped the second I walked into that hrieangroom¡ª" "I'm done." "Thanks for the image." "So,you're justgonna give up?" "Those guys have been after mefor 25 years." "I finally handed them my headon a silver platter." "Jessica called." "She's reaching out to the presidentof bar association." "How's her dad doing?" "Well,his strokewas pretty bad." "She's gonna be inchicago for a while." "Well,she'll be taking overthe unit when she gets back." "I expect you guys to step up." "How about you?" "What are you going to do now?" "You know,I always wantedto rent an rv and drive across country." "Meet ordinary people." "Maybe do some,I don't know,legal aid work." "Please." "Okay,fine." "I'll probably start in tuscanyand drink my w aayoss europe." "Rent a villain lake como." " Ciao,bella." "Do you like to water ski?" " Sounds more like it." "At the end of the day,I had this coming,all right?" "When the blade finally felling there,do you know that I actuallyfelt relieved?" "So what?" "I lose my license." "Hey,life goes on." "At least we know things can'tget any worse." "Mr. Stark." "Joan westlake,stateattorney general's office." "I stand corrected." "I have a warrantfor your arrest." "on what charge?" "Accessory to murdering the death of sarah belkin." "Okay,call my travel agent." "Tell him to get the depositon the villa back." "Shark Season 02 Episode 13" "No,you gotta tell your public defender to challenge the search!" "The gun was laying right on the floor,man." "I'm just saying that everything they found in your crib was inadmissible." "Straight up?" "The 4th amendment." "I mean,thank god james madison isn't around to... you know,watch you abuse it." "Okay,so,diablo?" "There's a fine linbetween murder and self-defense." " Stark!" " Yes?" "Good!" "Yes?" " You made bail." " Oh,good." "Hey,listen,these things are going to go for a fortune on ebay when my trial comes on court tv so..." "Thought you'd bring your attorney." "I can defend myself." "But you needed me to bail you out and you're doing a bang-up job so far." "I particularly like that part about all your soul searching." "Don't you need an actual soul for that?" "What do you want?" "Well,I've already got your scalp." "Hey,how about one of those new iphones?" "Pretty sure of yourself,huh?" "Well,"approach victory as a certainty."" "You were a guest lecturer at my criminal defense seminar at S.C." "You clearly didn't learn very much if you ended up in the attorney general's office." "Maybe,but I'm smart enough not to insult someone who could toss me in prison until I'm gumming my food." "Look,you're medium-cute and under different circumstances" "I'd invite you back to the house for some pinot and a foot rub." "Maybe when I'm dead." "Fine by me." "Pillow talk is overrated." "So,look,if you're done gloating," "I'm gonna be taking my daughter out to dinner while I still can." "Look,I'm not here to gloat." "I'm here to offer you a way out." "You know this guy?" "oscar riddick?" "Among the bigger badasses on the west coast." "You ever represent him?" "I wish." "I could have made a fortune." "My office has dicted him on everything from weapons smuggling to torture to multiple homicides." "We can't touch him." "Fascinating,but why do I care?" "You put jason normandy away for killing sarah belkin." "The night she died,normandy met with oscar riddick." "I want to know why." "Go ask jason normandy." "He's got a time-share up in corcoran." "Look,we have taken three very public swings at riddick." "The attorney general can't afford another miss." "That's where you come in." "You lost me." "You represented normandy-- you know his sleazy world." "If he and riddick were in business together,it'd have to be dirty." "There's just one small problem:" "I'm no longer a practicing attorney." "I'm a criminal defendant,remember?" "Nomut of a leap for you,is it,stark?" "look,here's the deal:" "You build me a slam-dunk case against riddick underground by whatever means necessary, we drop all the criminal charges against you and you get your license back." "Lady,you don't have that kind of juice." "No,but my boss does." "Riddick's his ticket to the justice department." "Which clears the way for you to get his old job." "And the iphone." "Riddick owns a racetrack in the high desert." "Start there." "You want your life back?" "Go get me oscar riddick." "You know,if it was so easy,I wouldn't be calling you,would I?" "I need riddick's fbi files." "Easy with that!" "It cost more than your house." "Hey,y gou a minute?" "Thanks." "Okay,look,hey,I hate to bring up thatbaltimore thing,tommy..." "I got to go." "Hey,guys." "So this is it,huh?" "Yeah,looks that way." "I'm gonna miss youaround here." "Can you beat the criminal case?" "You know,I don't know, but honestly,I think sometimes it's just easierto throw in the towel." "Hey,I got the statisticsfrom your contact at the department of energy." "You guys,really,you don't want to know." "You got your own cases." "Why don't you just get backto work?" "Let me just get onwith my thing here." "Okay." "The ag is looking to nail a badassnamed oscar riddick." "I deliver him,I'm lazarus." "They're using acriminal defendant to pursue a case for theming exchaation?" "Of course,when you put itthat way,it sounds bad." "What can we do?" "You know,honestly...what am I thinking?" "You guys jump in here,I can't protect you." "Let's just forget we hadthis whole conversation." "It's a little late for that." "Don't say I didn'twarn you." "I checked out thefinancial hiory of the oil field wheresarah belkin was buried." "Jason normandy hada silent partner." "Yeah,eastwood partners." "I reviewed theurchase." "Yeah,well,I did some digging." " Eastwood partners is owned by mitchum industries." " Right." "Which is ownedby oscar riddick." "Yeah,riddickand normandy were in business together and you missed it?" "You know what?" "In that world,you don't aska lot of questions." "Being a partner in an oilcompany isn't illegal,you know." "Maybe not,but check this out." "Well,that can't be right." "What is it?" "According to this,there wasn't a single drop of oil produced from those fields since before normandy took control." "So,why did he buy them?" "It's got to be a front." "Yeah,for what?" "All right,isaac,I need a trapand trace on riddick's phone and I need you guys to go overmy old files on normandy." "But thoseare privileged... forget I mentioned it." "And I need all you can findon sarah belkin." "Especially any linkto oscar riddick." "This is black-op,kids,no fingerprints." "We're gonna be workingout of my house." "No,please." "You are not gonnasay something sincere and heartfelt,are you?" "Don't screw up." "She's running pretty good." "Pushing a little in the corners." "Got a little looseon that third turn." "Nice ride." "Great way toelax." "At 200 miles an hour?" "Yeah." "One screwup,you're dead." "You should give it a trysometime,Mr. Stark." "Oh,you know who I am." "Yeah." "I've been expecting you." "How's the attorneygeneral doing?" "I never met the man." "And yet you're his errand boy." "I was jason normandy's lawye" "I helped him buythose oil fields out at ladera heights." "Your name never came up." "Unlike you,I tryto keep a low profile." "It's better for business." "Those wells were dry." "What were you guys doingup there?" "a lot of peoplehave come after me,Mr. Stark." "It**** be smart." "Plead out your case,do your time,and get on with your life." "That sounds like a threat." "More like advice." "Now,it's one thing to run on an empty track." "But,when you're out therehead-to-head against a guy goingjust as fast as you, willing to do whateverit takes to win... that's when you find outwhat you got under the hood." "I always lovea good racing metaphor." "Here's one for you:" "Prepare to crash and burn." "Mrs. Belkin?" "How dare you come here?" "I'm sorry to disturb you." "In fact,I'm sorry for everything." "It's a littlelate for that." "Look,your daughter's deathwas a tragedy, and you have every rightto hate my guts." "So I have your permission." "Well,that is comforting." "My husband died three years ago." "The doctor saidit was hypertension." "Stress that came from waiting for his little girlto come home." "He died waiting for her!" "There's no excusefor what I did." "I should have told the truth--you deserved that." "And you still do." "Which is why I'm here." "We know sarah was having a relationship withjason normandy, but that'snot why she died." "What are you talking about?" "We don't know the truth about why sarah was killed, and there's onlyone way to find out." "We need to run some tests." "Oh,my god." "I just got my daughter back,and you expect meto let you dig her up?" "It's the only way." "You go to hell." "I probably will,but it won't tell us whyyour daughter died." "She's at peaceow." "Yes." "But are you?" "Why should I trust you?" "Because I needto know the truth,too." "All right." "All right." "Thank you." "And,truly,I am so very sorryfor your loss." "blue is your color,jason." "What I hear,you'll be wearingthese yourself soon." "How the boys treating you?" "Compared to hell's kitchen,this place is a country club." "So I assumeyou're not here for a conjugal visit." "We exhumedsarah belkin's body." "Hope you sent her my best." "Turns outthe first me screwed up." "Head wound was postmortem." "What killed her,then?" "She actually died of a heroin erovse." "And then you buried herout in that field." "And I let you do it." "So?" "We both know that you movedheroin for a long time,jason." "So sarah getshooked,od'S." "Tragic,but,hey... accidents do happen." "You're clean." "Why would you tryto cover that up?" "Why would you goto prison for it?" "Oh,you know,I bumpedinto your old friend... oscar riddick." "Now,there's areal piece of work." "What were you guys up to atthat phony oil field of yours?" "We're done." "I'm going after riddick,and if youhelp me,as j," "I'll see to it thatyou get transferred to a minimumsecurity facility." "Easy time." "You're a smart guy." "So be smart." "Forget you ever heardthe name oscar riddick." "You know,according tosarah belkin's roommate,sarah barely drank." "Yeah,I talked toher family,friends." "Nobody believes this girlwas into hard drugs." "Sarah was normandy'sassistant." "The stuff was everywhere." "She wouldn't bethe first straight kid to get in over her head." "Yeah,way over." "Accordingto the coroner's report, sarah belkin hadenough pure heroin in her body to kill 20 people." "There's no way she took all thaton purpose." "So we're back to murder?" "Prison is startingto look better and better." "Can somebodyplease give me something I can use?" "Well,I ran a tr acon riddick's cell phone." "After you rattled hiscage at the racetrack, he spent an hour on thephone with a guy named kirk." "Arthur kirk?" "That guy's a seriousdefense attorney who represents major drugdealers." "The attorney generaltried riddick on heroin trafficking in 1998;kirk got him off." "So when is an oil fieldnot an oil field?" "Come on,using ten percent ofyour brain is a baseline,kids,it's not a goal,all right?" "Think!" "When it's a front fora heroin-smuggling operation." "Ding,ding,ding,we have a winner." "The weekbefore she died,sarah belkin visited the departmentof conservation three times." "Indicating?" "She knewthere was no oil in that field." "So sarahfinds herself in the middleof a drug operation." "She threatens to blow thewhistle,they kill her." "Track every oil drum that wentin and out of that field." "If we can link riddick to theheroin that killed sarah belkin, we can nail thisson of a bitch." "You slept with him?" "Are you really so shocked?" "No,no,ofcourse not." "Liar." "Okay,fine..." "I'm shocked." "when did this happen?" "A few daysbefore trevor le for boston." "say something,mom." "I've been practicing thismoment for 17 years and..." "I can't remember howmy speech starts." "You're probably wonderingif we were careful?" "WeE.Wer and if I regret it?" "I don'T." "And if he was a gentleman?" "Totally." "Anything else before we neverdiscuss this again?" "Was it lovel yes." "good." "Sweet pea." "But if youtell dad,I will kill you." "I'm coming for you,pal." "I'm coming for you." "dad,are you okay?" "Jules,stay upstairs!" "Call 911!" "What the hell didyou get me into?" "I offered you a way out." " I never said it was going to be easy." " My daughter was in the house." "I heard;" "I'm sorry." "I need more resourcesto take this guy down." "Technical support,the fbi... it's not possible." "I looked intothis guy's eyes." "There's no one home." "Tonight it was me." "Next time,he couldcome after you." "He already has." "Four years ago,riddick'sthugs ran me off the road." "My arm wentthrough the windshield,I almost bled to death." "Okay,then give me what I need to take him down." "Trust me,I wod uike to." "It's not my call." "Our deal is off the books." "My boss isn't goingto allocate any resources." "Look,if riddickis too much for you,you're free to walk away." "And then you'll seeme in court,right?" "This guy tried tokill both of us." "If you want him,I ed your help." "Under the radar." "Just you." "Oh,god,I could lose my job for this." "I already lost mine." "Yeah,for pulling stuntsexactly like this." "Oh,trust me,this is nothing." "You probably don't want to brag about that to the woman prosecuting you for acssory to murder." "Fair point." "I should have knownyou were behind this,sebastian." "Sorry to interruptyour beauty sleep,but we have some businessto discuss." "This is deputyattorney general westlake." "Brought in the big guns." "Won't make anydifference." "You know,I've been goingover some of my old files, especially the memoson your oil production." "So?" "So we both know that there was no oil." "There were barrels movingback and forth from your field,Mr. Normandy." "What was in them?" "I plead the fifth." "You and riddick were movingheroin in those oil drums." "If you say so." "No,you aregoing to say so in open court with oscar riddick sittingat the defense table." "You're dreaming." "Deputy westlake is already negotiating with riddick's lawyer." "No,oscar riddickdoesn't negotiate." "Times change." "Either you cooperate or I makesure Mr. Riddick thinks you did." "You can't do that." "Trust me,she can do it." "Now,you don'tunderstand." "It's not about me;" "I've got three kids." "Yeah,andI've got one." "She could have been killedtonight." "Is that why you took the fallfor sarah belkin without implicatingriddick?" "To protect your family?" "Look,this guyis an animal." "It's not aboutbusiness for him." "He likes hurting people." "Okay,well,help us get himoff the street." "I promise you,I will protect your family." "You can't hidefrom oscar riddick." "The only reason I'm alive isbecause I kept my mouth shut." "Did you kill sarah belkin?" "I put the needle in her arm." "Riddick gave me the order." "Why?" "Sarah stumbledonto the operation." "She was threateningto go to the cop" "S.Riddick wanted her gone." "so you murdered herin cold blood?" "Trust me... she got off easy." "If riddick had done her,she would have suffered." "You're a true humanitarian." "I understand you got... what you needed." "Yes,ma'am." "The man who orderedyour daughter's death is going to pay for what he did." "Even if you told uswhat happened to sarah, it wouldn't havebrought her back." "Doesn't make it right." "U yodn't kill mydaughter,Mr. Stark." "You put jason normandyin prison." "And now,you are goingto finish the job." "yeah,danny?" "Have you lost your mind?" "Would you excuse me?" "You should not be here." "You cut a deal to letjason normandy walk?" "I needed his testimonyto convict oscar riddick." "I got you normandy'ssworn statent!" "All you had to dowas protect his kids to get him on the stand." "Not according to his lawyer." "Upon oscar riddick's conviction,jason normandy will be released with credit for time served." "That is a bad joke!" "He served two months!" "For killinga 25-year-old girl!" "Riddick was deemed thegreater public threat here." "You know,you're playing god,and I won't let youget away with it!" "You kn wowt?" "You are notrunning this operation." "Maybe not,but normandyis an indicted co-conspirator in sarah belkin's death." "In order to convict riddick,you need another witness." "Yeah." "I'm looking at him." "Your legal files linkriddick and normandy to that phony oil field wheresarah belkin's body was found." "Exactly,and if you releasejason normandy from prison," "I will not testifyagainst riddick." "Okay,let's just be clear." "Once your testimony putsriddick away,you are home free." "You get clearon this." "Sarah belkin's familyhas suffered enough." "Jason normandy will never walk awayfrom what he did." "Never!" "You don't testify,prison is going to be the least of your problems." "I abandoned sarah belkin12 years ago." "I won't do it again." "we can't stop now." "Look,I never should havedragged you guys into this." "It's time to pull the plug." "Oscar riddickis a sociopath!" "He tried to blow your head off." "There's got to be a wayto nail riddick without lettingnormandy walk." "Well,maybe,but I'm going to be doing five-to-seven upstatebefore we figure it out!" "We still got time." "hello." "What portion of,"the party is over" don't you understand?" "You guys have done enough." "You put yourselveson the line for me." "Hey!" "I hate tobreak this to you,but it isn't about you." "In the words of a once-greatlawyer,"in any case,only 12 opinions matter."" "And yours isn't one of them." "I'm never going to live that one down,am I?" "We ran sarah belkin's business line forthe six months before her death." "Stop!" "Everything's beenaccounted for except for three callsto a guy named peter mirsky." "He's a personal injury lawyering hidden canyon,which is a little town40 miles north of la." "Oh,good,a pi hack from podunk!" "Now we're gettingsomewhere." "According to shipping records, normandy and riddick were delivering 500 barrels of oil a week therein the early '90s." "Look,for the last time:" "There was no oil!" "Exactly,andthese guys are big-time drug dealers." "The biggest drugdealers in the world can't move that much heroinin their entire careers." "so,if they weren'ttransporting oil or heroin,what the hellwas in those barrels?" "Can I help you guys?" "Sebastian stark?" "That depends." "We have a court orderto seize the property,sir." "yeah,this is really cute." "So,who put you up to this?" "Was it manny?" "Cutler?" "Actually,it was me." "You've got to be kidding." "On what basis?" "Property purchasedas a result of criminal conductis subject to forfeiture." "Yo don't have a chance in hellof making this stick." "Well,obviously,the court disagrees." "Dad,are we goingto lose our house?" "of course not." "You earned nearly $2 millionin legal fees from normandy the yearbefore you bought this place." "That doesn'tprove anything." "Well,you cancertainly fight the seizure, unless,of course,Mr. Stark here winds up in jail." "Man,she's as bad as you are." "We also had to freezeall your assets." "Maybe worse." "You have the power to make this all go away." "Dad,what's she talking about?" "You thinkyou can squeeze me?" "I made my boneswhen you were in kneesocks." "You have 30 minutesto vacate the premises." "Let's go." "Call came out of the blue." "Said her name was sarah belkinand that she had to talk to me." "In person." "Did you twoever meet?" "We set up a time." "She never showed." "Any idea whatshe wanted to talk about?" "She said hadsome documents for me." "I was up to my necking a major class action." "Multiple victims." "Really?" "It seemsso quiet around here." "Usually is." "But back in the late '80s,folks started getting sick." "Our caer rate was tentimes the national average." "Dadid you ever getto the bottom of it?" "We got the epa out here." "Ground water was contaminated." "Massive levelsof dioxin." "Where did it come from?" "Never did find out." "The fedsdisappeared." "And the victims were usingtheir ney to...to stay alive." "How many deaths?" "Thirty-four." "That we know of." "And a whole generationof kids exposed." "Did sarah ever tell youwhat these documents were?" "Only thatthey could help the case." "And believe me,this town could haveused the help." "Promise I'll be out of here in a couple of days." "It's fine." "I feel like I'm in the way." "Maybe I should bunk downwith you." "Easy,cowboy." "You're in enough troublealready." "Ah,you're no fun." "Oh,and I may needto borrow a couple of bucks." "They froze my accounts." "Oh,I prayedthis day would come." "What's that supposed to mean?" "I was just recalling a couple of yearsafter we got married,you put me on an allowance." "You had your own wingat barney'S." "Yeah,right." "You know,sebastian,how do I know I can trust you to be responsiblewith this money?" "You're loving this,aren't you?" "you have no idea." "I can sleep down here,dad." "That's okay,sweetie." "Me stuck on the couch,you and your mom upstairs." "feels like old times." "Must be more comfortablethan prison,I'd guess." "Julie." "It's okay." "It's only going to befor a couple of years." "Is that supposedto make me feel better?" "I made a mistake,a bad one and..." "I've got to pay for it." "That woman saidyou have a choice." "Yeah." "I can make a choice, but I have to sell out **** your dad's just doingwhat he thinks is right." "That's great,but what about our family?" "Do you realize that by the time you get out of prison,I will be out of college?" "I know that." "And that's okay with you,that we lose the rest of ourtime together?" "Of course not!" "Then do something about it!" "I love you more than anythingin this whole,wide world." "Anything." "And you know that." "I know thatyou're leaving me." "Again." "Hey... she's just upset." "Yeah." "And she's right." "Hey,whatare you doing?" "Hanging out withall your friends?" "Let me gss:" "You stopped by my house for a little target practice,and I wasn't home." "Go on,get in." "We need to talk." "just when I thoughtmy night couldn't get any worse." "Want a drink?" "What do you want?" "Coming after me was a big loserfor you,stark." "I mean,even if you built a case against me,you never would have testified." "Is that so?" "yeah." "That's so." "You got a beautiful daughter." "Still chummy with the ex?" "Last thing you wantto do is come home one day and find pieces of them scattered aroundthe living room." "Better you do a few years and walk away." "With no house?" "No way to make a living?" "But breathing." "Now,there's somethingto be said for that." "I almost forgot." "What's this,about 40,50 grand?" "Walkingaround money." "More when you get outuntil you're back on your feet." "Pretty sure I'm going to changemy mind about testifying,huh?" "And telling your little team to,uh,stop poking their noseswhere they don't belong." "No offense,but 50 grand doesn't even covermy dry cleaning." "Name your price." "I used to be like you." "Real hard case." "Master of the universe." "At the endof the day,I was running scared." "pull it over." "Hey,take it from me." "You can't run forever." "so now you're all fired upto nail riddick?" "Just tell me what you know." "That lawyersarah belkin was talking to in hidden canyon was representingdioxin victims." "Dioxin?" "Dioxin's a by-productof plastic manufacturing." "There's no manufacturingplants out there." "Which suggests that somebodybrought the stuff in and dumped it." "Wait,hang on now." "Riddick and normandywere shipping hundreds of barrels of somethingto hidden canyon, so,there's no oil,there's no heroin." "Toxic waste." "Yeah,but wheredid it come from?" "Give me that,uh,that mapof the oil delivery routes." "Here,come on." "So they were shipping empty barrelsfrom ladera heights t his locationin rosemead where they pick up the toxic waste, and then they dump it up in hidden canyon." "What's at therosemead location?" "A shopping center built in 1996." "Who built it?" "Mitchum development corporation." "That's the same companyriddick used to hide his stakein normandy's oil field." "So let's seewhat was on that site before riddick built thatshopping center." "One word,benjamin-- plastics." "Dover plastics,to be precise." "Churning out pvcpipe for 26 years." "It would take ten yearsto clean up a site like that." "Millions to disposeof the waste." "Unless you just ship the wasteto some remote town." "Where people started to die." "Well,now all we have to dois prove it." "How many deaths?" "Thirty-four." "We should be able to link the dioxinin hidden canyon to riddick's constructionsite in rosemead." "Not enough." "We need to be ableto tie riddick directly to the dumping operation if we're going to take him down." "You goingto eat that fruit?" "Go for it." "Did the epa identify the area where the dioxinentered e groundwater?" "They traced it to a private ranch outside town, but the lawyer down therecouldn't secure a warrant to search it." "Who owns it?" "What?" "The ranch,who owns it?" "Mcqueen properties." "look at this." ""Mcqueen propertiesis a fully owned subsidiaryof mitchum development."" "Owned and operatedby oscar riddick." "We need a warrantto search that property." "If mirsky couldn't get one,how can we?" "Mirsky didn't have a friend inthe attorney general's office." "Look,I can't help you." "You're a deputyattorney general." "I'm asking for a stupidsearch warrant." "Yeah,foprr ertyowned by an individual who sued this officefor harassment." "You don't have enoughto justify a warrant." "I don'T... let me paint a word picturefor you,jordan." "You hand methe search warrant,I cha-cha upto hidden canyon where I unearth evidencelinking riddick to 34 dead dioxin victims." "Stark... no,you putriddick away for life." "Jason normandy stays awayfor the rest of his life, and,after you and I sharea wild night of passion,I go on with my life." "Everybody wins." "What?" "I'm just trying to get that "wild night of passion" thingout of my head." "Get me the warrant." "I'm sorry." "There is no guarantee you will find anything out there." "Guarantee?"
