screw around
with 'em on their own time.
- That's what it's gotta be.
- So what now?
First, we have another drink.
Then we try to find the right shitpile.
Hi.
- Surprise!
- Leo!
I can't believe it!
This is a restricted area.
You always just waltz right in.
- How do you do it?
- I lie.
Tell me about it! You said you were
gonna call me for dinner. Two years ago.
I thought you were supposed to call me.
I tried to call you, you bastard.
You look good.
Congratulations on your promotion.
- Thank you.
- How's your mother doin'?
Spare me the Irish charm, Leo!
You didn't come up here
to ask about my mother.
If you think I'm risking my job again
to help you find an alimony cheat,
you're crazy.
I don't do matrimonial work any more.
Too dangerous.
Oh, yeah? What are you doing?
Working on the Mike Brandon killing.
Forget it, Leo!
That's a high-profile investigation.
It's also a bullshit cover-up.
Who's your client?
Another sleazebag insurance company?
Actually, my client is Brandon's
ten-year-old son, Chris.
Hey, Velez.
I'm serious.
Damn! You sure know
how to push the right buttons.
Good girl! Look, I'm interested in
an old case that Brandon was working on.
- How far back?
- Anything older than
five years. Do it like you never tapped in.
Don't worry!
- Any luck?
- How about doing some telephone work?
Telephone work?
Hi, Ray.
Sergeant, I'll be back in an hour.
I'm a respectable citizen.
I wanna file a complaint.
We got a new install and repair
for Lieutenant Shylock.
- You mean Silak.
- Silak? Yeah.
- The box is at the foot of the stairs.
- Great.
Here's the key.
Don't return it, it's your ass.
No sweat!
Look at this! I really got it!
Almost got it. You're wasting your time.
That hasn't worked in five years.
Turn it down!
- Hello.
- Yeah. Silak? It's Neely.
Tomorrow. Trial Part 52, 100 Center.
Yeah.
Tony Vargas was the button man.
I got it. Don't sweat
the little stuff, all right?
Hey, I see from the dailies you
neutralised the problem. Nice work.
Yeah. But it didn't go down as
clean as I wanted. How's the old man?
- Sliding fast.
- Don't screw it up!
You do your end and I'll do mine.
Silak, you scumbag!
So are you gonna tell me?
What was all that about?
It's about me spending
the day in court tomorrow.
Mr Neely, is it a fact you're up for
a parole board hearing soon?
- Yes.
- Now, how was it you learned
who ordered the murder of the decedent?
- Tony Vargas told me.
- And what did he say?
That Moore hired him as the button man.
- That's a goddamn lie!
- Objection, Your Honour. Hearsay.
Sustained.
You may continue, Miss Kennedy.
Where were you
when Vargas told you this?
In C-81 at Rikers.
He said Moore wanted him iced
cos he knew too much
- about the embezzlement.
- Objection! May we have a sidebar?
Approach the bench.
Judge, I object to this line of questioning.
What promises have been made
to the witness for his testimony?
Miss Kennedy, any response?
We're writing to the parole board,
acknowledging his assistance.
Counsel is well aware of this.
- I don't want this to drag on.
- Neither do I.
- Leo! I'm surprised to see you.
- Long time! You look wonderful.
Thank you. And you.
No black eyes, no broken noses.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- You're doing divorce work now.
Somebody opens the door,
you're peeking through the keyhole...
- Kick an old pal when he's down!
- You deserve it.
You were the best cop I ever worked with.
You just don't play by the rules!
Are we talking
professional now, or personal?
Believe me, Leo, I forgot about
that other stuff a long time ago.
You lose a bet?
- Thank you! The Doolan file?
- It's on your desk.
- On my desk. Leo, you want coffee?
- Yeah.
- Black, please.
- Two black coffees!
- That'll take an hour.
- Where do you want this?
Just there is great. Thank you.
Not bad!
Look at this!
Liz Kennedy, the smartest kid ever
to come outta St Cecelia's parish.
How come
