[male announcer] IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM,
THE PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED BY TWO SEPARATE
YET EQUALLY IMPORTANT GROUPS--
THE POLICE WHO INVESTIGATE CRIME
AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS WHO PROSECUTE THE OFFENDERS.
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.
USUALLY YOU SEND A DRIVER FOR THE BARRELS,
NOT THE BOSS.
USUALLY YOU SEND ME THE BARRELS.
I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING FROM YOU LAST MONTH.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE A CONTRACT.
COME ON.
MADISON & BEEZLEY HAS BEEN REFINING
YOUR COMPANY'S SWEEPINGS SINCE MY GRANDFATHER
AND YOUR GRANDFATHER GOT HOME FROM D-DAY.
WHAT'S GOING ON, JOE?
I TRIED BENSON REFINERS.
THEY GOT ME A 2% GOLD YIELD.
2%?
THEY WERE PAYING YOU $900 AN OUNCE FOR MOUSE TURDS
TO GET YOU AS A CUSTOMER AND YOU KNOW IT.
YEAH, BUT I GOT THE 2%, DIDN'T I?
HMM.
AH, THE BARRELS ARE YOURS.
SEE YOU AT THE GYM.
HOW'S IT CRANKIN', HENRY?
1,400 FAHRENHEIT. NO PARTICULATES.
KEEP THE EPA OFF OUR BACK.
MAKE IT 1,000 DEGREES MAX.
I DON'T NEED ANY GOLD GOING UP THE STACK.
[cell phone rings]
HELLO?
AH, HELLO, SWEETIE.
NIGHTY-NIGHT DOUBLE NIGHT TO YOU TOO.
YOU GO TO SLEEP.
I'LL KISS YOU WHEN I GET HOME.
YEAH.
I LEFT HIM HERE LAST MIDNIGHT.
I CAME IN THIS A.M. TO OPEN UP
AND I-I FOUND HIM LIKE THAT.
WHAT WAS MR. MADISON DOING WHEN YOU LEFT?
HE WAS IN HIS OFFICE.
HE SAID HE HAD A FEW MORE THINGS TO FINISH.
THEN THE FURNACE WAS LIT?
IT WAS COOLING OFF.
OTHERWISE HE'D JUST BE ASH.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU MIND WAITING OVER THERE?
WELL, WE FOUND A SET OF KEYS IN THE OUTSIDE DOOR...
ON THE OUTSIDE.
HIS MERCEDES KEY WAS STILL ON THE RING.
SO HE WAS INSIDE, HE WENT OUTSIDE,
AND HE WAS COMING BACK INSIDE.
MAYBE WITH A GUN IN HIS BACK.
YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE TRASH INTO GOLD HERE, RIGHT?
GUESS THAT BATCH IS RUINED.
WOW.
$900 AN OUNCE.
$934.25.
LONDON FIXING THIS MORNING.
IS THERE ANYTHING MISSING?
I'D HAVE TO RUN AN AUDIT.
WHEN DO YOU NEED TO--
[sighs]
VICTOR'S WIFE AND HER FATHER.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WE DON'T KNOW YET, MRS. MADISON.
COULD'VE BEEN A ROBBERY
AND YOUR HUSBAND DIDN'T COOPERATE.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A ROBBERY
SINCE MY FATHER STARTED THIS PLACE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS MR. MADISON'S GRANDFATHER.
MADISON & BEEZLEY.
I'M EDGAR BEEZLEY.
WHEN MY DAUGHTER MARRIED VICTOR,
THE FAMILIES MERGED.
WE ALWAYS FELT SO SAFE HERE.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
THAT YOU SAW YOUR HUSBAND, MRS. MADISON?
AT DINNER.
THEN I WENT TO MY FATHER'S PLACE.
VIC SAID HE HAD SOME PAPERWORK TO CATCH UP ON.
WERE THERE ANY PROBLEMS,
PERSONAL OR IN THE BUSINESS?
PERSONAL?
NO.
WHA--
HOW ABOUT THE BUSINESS?
THE PRICE OF GOLD IS GOING NUTS, RIGHT?
YEAH, IT'S MADE EVERYTHING MORE COMPETITIVE.
I MEAN, CUSTOMERS WERE BEING WOOED AWAY, BUT...
WELL, WE'VE GOT GENERATIONS OF LOYALTY HERE.
EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
[Van Buren] M.E. SAYS YOUR VICTIM RECEIVED
A FATAL BLOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD
BEFORE HE WAS PUT IN THE INCINERATOR.
SOMEBODY WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE WAS DEAD.
OR THEY WERE JUST TIDYING UP.
OLD MAN BEEZLEY WAS RIGHT.
BUSINESS IS GOOD. THEY'VE BEEN PAYING ON TIME.
CAVALIER DESIGNS, WILLENS JEWELERS...
7Q PARTNERS.
[Van Buren] THAT DOESN'T QUITE SAY
"JEWELRY" TO ME.
IT'S NOT ON THEIR CUSTOMER LIST.
MADISON MADE THE PAYMENT HIMSELF.
$5,000 THE DAY BEFORE HE DIED.
FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS FOR.
I'VE BEEN CALLING AROUND THE GOLD BUSINESS.
NOBODY'S EVER HEARD OF A 7Q PARTNERS
AND THEIR ADDRESS IS A MAIL DROP.
YEAH, FROM THE BANK WHERE MADISON'S CHECK WAS DEPOSITED.
LOOK AT THIS.
7Q'S ACCOUNT WAS OPENED WITH MONEY WIRED
FROM A BANK IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS.
MONEY LAUNDERING CENTRAL.
YEAH...PLUS WIRES FROM NEW YORK, MIAMI, THE MIDDLE EAST.
LOOK AT THE PAYERS.
GEORGE SMITH AND FRED MILLER.
THOSE NAMES SOUND MIDDLE EASTERN TO YOU?
MYSTERY MONEY AND A RELATIONSHIP
WITH A GOLD REFINER.
DRUG DEALERS LIKE GOLD.
IT'S NOT TRACEABLE.
SO DO TERRORISTS.
[Suzanne] I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I CAN TELL YOU.
I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN THE BUSINESS
SINCE ISABEL WAS BORN.
VIC RAN IT HIMSELF AFTER MY FATHER RETIRED.
THIS IS MY BROTHER FRANK.
ARE YOU WITH THE BUSINESS TOO?
NO, THE FAMILY JOKE IS THAT I'M ALLERGIC TO GOLD DUST.
YOU KNOW WHAT, BIG SHORTY,
I DON'T THINK THEY NEED US HERE.
WHY DON'T WE MAKE LIKE A TREE AND LEAVE.
[clicks tongue]
WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
DID YOUR HUSBAND DEAL WITH ANY PEOPLE
IN SOUTH AMERICA OR THE MIDDLE EAST?
OUR CLIENTS ARE MOSTLY LOCAL.
WELL, WHO BOUGHT THE GOLD AFTER YOU REFINED IT OUT?
ANYONE WHO WANTED TO.
IT'S AN OPEN MARKET.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH A COMPANY CALLED 7Q PARTNERS?
NO. WHY?
YOUR HUSBAND SENT THEM A CHECK FOR $5,000.
I WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
BUT IF YOU'RE ASKING ME IF WE DO BUSINESS
WITH TERRORISTS OR CRIMINALS, WE DON'T.
THEN YOU WOULDN'T MIND IF WE HAD A SECOND LOOK
AT YOUR HUSBAND'S OFFICE?
NO.
LOTS OF CASH AND CASHIER'S CHECKS.
NOT A LOT OF BUYERS' NAMES.
THEIR CHOICE.
WHERE DID MR. MADISON RECORD HIS APPOINTMENTS?
DO YOU KNOW WHO GEORGE SMITH IS?
NO.
ONE OF THE NAMES THAT SENT MONEY TO 7Q PARTNERS.
RIGHT.
MADISON'S DATE BOOK, LAST TUESDAY,
GEORGE SMITH, PARK HOTEL.
YES, MR. SMITH WAS A GUEST HERE TUESDAY NIGHT.
DO YOU HAVE HIS ADDRESS?
SURE.
OH, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
HOW'D HE PAY FOR THE ROOM?
IT SAYS WITH CASH.
LOOK, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WHY DON'T YOU JUST ASK HIM?
HE'S REGISTERED FOR TONIGHT.
ROOM 202.
MR. SMITH?
YOU CALL THAT A KNOCK?
[Lupo] MR. SMITH?
HELLO?
MR. SMITH TRAVELS LIGHT.
[Bernard] MAYBE HE HASN'T CHECKED IN YET.
WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN?
LET'S ASK DOWNSTAIRS.
WRONG FLOOR?
YEAH.
I'M ON THREE.
YOU MIND SHOWING US YOUR ROOM KEY?
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DO.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A ROOM KEY,
YOU'RE TRESPASSING.
YOU KNOW, I THINK I LEFT IT IN THE RESTAURANT.
I'LL JUST GO DOWNSTAIRS
AND GET THE KEY.
HOW ABOUT THIS:
YOU SHOW ME YOUR I.D.
AND YOU CAN GO WHEREVER YOU WANT.
ALL RIGHT, HAVE A NICE EVENING, SARAH.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? 1,000 BUCKS AN HOUR?
AT LEAST.
GEORGE SMITH. FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY.
SARAH SHIPLEY. 24 YEARS OLD.
AND ACCORDING TO HER B-FRENDZ PAGE,
IS AN ASPIRING PERFORMANCE ARTIST.
[Lupo] ACCORDING TO A BELLMAN WE TALKED TO
FROM THE HOTEL,
SHE SERVICES CUSTOMERS FOR EXCALIBUR EXCLUSIVES.
EXCALIBUR EXCLUSIVES.
MM-HMM, IT'S AN ESCORT SERVICE
FOR GUYS WITH REALLY BIG SWORDS.
THEY WISH.
HERE'S THEIR WEBSITE HERE.
THIS COULD BE HER.
[Van Buren] "DISCREET ENCOUNTERS. WE COME TO YOU."
YOU SAID NO ONE WAS IN THE ROOM.
IT WAS A PLAYPEN.
EXCALIBUR RENTS THE ROOM FOR THE CUSTOMERS
UNDER THE NAME GEORGE SMITH.
BUT THAT WAS THE NAME CONNECTED WITH 7Q PARTNERS.
WE HAVE 7Q'S PAYROLL RIGHT HERE
AND SARAH SHIPLEY IS ON IT.
7Q ISEXCALIBUR EXCLUSIVES.
SO THE CHECK YOUR VICTIM WROTE
WASN'T ABOUT DRUGS OR TERRORISM.
IT WAS JUST ANOTHER MIDDLE-AGED MARRIED MAN
OUT TO GET HIS JOLLIES.
WHICH COULD MAKE HIS WIFE A SUSPECT
IF SHE KNEW WHAT HE WAS UP TO.
SHE SAID SHE WAS AT HER FATHER'S
THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER.
SUZANNE WAS HERE UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
ISABEL FELL ASLEEP ON MY COUCH.
I CARRIED HER OUT TO A CAB.
WHY?
WERE YOU AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS IN YOUR DAUGHTER'S MARRIAGE?
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
WELL, A FEW DAYS BEFORE HE DIED,
VICTOR PAID $5,000 TO A PROSTITUTION SERVICE.
[Bernard] HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR DAUGHTER WOULD FEEL
ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
SHE'D KILL HIM.
FIGURATIVELY.
SHE'D DIVORCE HIM. TAKE EVERY PENNY.
THAT NIGHT WHEN SHE WAS HERE,
DID SHE SEEM NERVOUS, UPSET?
SHE MAKE ANY CALLS?
NO, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE BUSINESS.
AND FRANK, MY SON,
HE WAS FINALLY THINKING OF JOINING THE COMPANY.
YOUR SON-IN-LAW WROTE A CHECK
TO AN OUTFIT CALLED 7Q PARTNERS.
YOU'VE HEARD OF IT?
YEAH, VICTOR ASKED ME ABOUT IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
HE SAID IT CAME UP IN CONNECTION
WITH ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS.
HE WANTED TO KNOW IF I KNEW WHAT IT WAS.
DID YOU?
NO.
WHY WOULD MADISON ASK HIS FATHER-IN-LAW
ABOUT A PROSTITUTION OUTFIT?
IT'S NOT EXACTLY A WAY TO WIN POINTS WITH THE OLD GUY.
UNLESS HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS
AND REALLY WAS ASKING.
IT MIGHT NOT BE THE KIND OF OPERATION
THAT APPRECIATES BEING ASKED ABOUT.
LET'S GET A TAP ON EXCALIBUR'S PHONES,
TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON.
[man on speaker] SO, UH, DO YOU HAVE A BLACK GIRL?
[woman on speaker] WE HAVE ALL COLORS
AND THEY'RE ALL GORGEOUS.
[man on speaker] MAYBE LIGHT BLACK
WITH NICE FEATURES, YOU KNOW?
"NICE FEATURES"?
[knocking]
I'VE BEEN OVER MADISON'S BOOKS WITH A FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT.
HE LOOKED BACK THREE MONTHS TO ABOUT THE TIME MADISON
WAS ASKING HIS FATHER-IN-LAW ABOUT 7Q PARTNERS.
WE MIGHT'VE FOUND WHAT GOT HIM INTERESTED:
A CHECK FOR $20,000
PAYABLE FROM MADISON & BEEZLEY
TO GOLLY MARKETING
WHICH ENDORSED IT OVER TO 7Q.
WHAT'S GOLLY MARKETING?
AND WHY WOULD VICTOR MADISON CARE
WHO IT GAVE ITS MONEY TO?
LET'S GO ASK THEM.
HEY, SO MY FRIEND AND I WERE WONDERING
IF WE COULD HAVE THE HONOR OF BUYING YOU LADIES A DRINK.
SURE.
TWO MICHELANGELO VODKAS.
IT'S THE BEST.
EXCUSE US, FELLAS.
UH, HEY, DO YOU MIND? WE'RE--
WE'RE WORKING HERE.
IT'S CALLED GUERILLA MARKETING.
WE KNOW. WE WERE AT THE OFFICE.
THEY TOLD US THE BOSS WOULD BE HERE WITH THE CREW,
HUSTLING MICHELANGELO VODKA.
WHERE IS HE?
OVER THERE.
BUY 'EM A DRINK. REMEMBER, MICHELANGELO.
FRANK BEEZLEY.
HEY, YOU GUYS WANT A DRINK?
YOU'RE GOLLY MARKETING.
YEAH, BRAND PROMOTION.
BEST WAY TO INFLUENCE YOUNG TASTEMAKERS.
ONE ON ONE.
BUT WE HEARD YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT GIG.
[Bernard] YOUR FATHER TOLD US YOU WANTED BACK
INTO THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A LOT MORE MONEY
THAN REACHING YOUNG TASTEMAKERS ONE ON ONE.
YOU GUYS WANT SOMETHING?
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING
AT THE RECORDS
FROM MADISON & BEEZLEY, FRANK.
SOME MONEY WAS SENT TO YOU
FROM THE COMPANY.
I GET A SHARE FROM A FAMILY TRUST.
AND THEN YOU SENT THAT MONEY
TO A COMPANY THAT RUNS AN ESCORT SERVICE?
I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW,
HE DID.
HE WAS SNOOPING AROUND THE ESCORT SERVICE.
NOW, HOW WOULD YOUR FATHER HAVE REACTED
HAD VICTOR MENTIONED IT?
THERE'S NOTHING TO MENTION.
OR MAYBE VICTOR WASN'T TOO HAPPY
ABOUT YOU JOINING HIM IN THE BUSINESS
AND HE FOUND A WAY TO KEEP YOU OUT.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PROSTITUTION.
YOU GUYS KEEP THIS UP,
YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MAJOR LAWSUIT.
NOW I'M WORKING.
[woman on speaker] AND I CAN'T DO TWO DATES TOMORROW.
I'VE GOT A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.
ISN'T THERE SOMEBODY ELSE?
[woman #2 on speaker] IT'S KIND OF SHORT NOTICE.
I'LL HAVE TO CHECK WITH FRANK.
FRANK.
FRANK WHO?
FRANK'S KIND OF A COMMON NAME.
IT ALL ADDS UP.
FRANK BEEZLEY WANTED BACK INTO THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
VICTOR MADISON HAD THE GOLD BUSINESS
ALL TO HIMSELF.
HE COULDN'T TELL HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW TO FORGET IT.
FRANK HAD A CLAIM.
BUT VICTOR TUMBLES ON FRANK'S CONNECTION
TO PROSTITUTION AND IF VICTOR BLOWS THE WHISTLE,
FRANK'S FAMILY WOULD'VE DISOWNED HIM.
BUT UNTIL WE PROVE THAT THIS FRANK AND FRANK BEEZLEY
ARE ONE AND THE SAME...
I KNOW SOMEONE WE COULD ASK.
YOU WAITING FOR A DATE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
A LITTLE COOPERATION.
WE'RE INTERESTED IN THE MANAGEMENT
OF EXCALIBUR EXCLUSIVES.
NEVER HEARD OF IT.
REALLY?
THE WEBSITE SAYS YOUR SPECIALTY
IS "A GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE."
GO TO HELL.
THAT'S NOT VERY GIRLFRIEND-LIKE.
ACTUALLY IT IS KIND OF LIKE MY LAST GIRLFRIEND.
YOU GOT ME CONFUSED WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
MOM!
IT WAS SO FUN!
HA!
THANKS FOR TAKING HER, MARY.
NICE KID.
[Sarah] SORRY I'M LATE.
YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD US THIS YESTERDAY.
THIS IS A $5,000 CLIENT.
IS THAT ANGELA? IS SHE FLAKING OUT AGAIN?
I THINK SHE'S ON DRUGS.
[Frank] AND WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE OUT ON A DATE?
[Sarah] SOME OF US HAVE LIVES
BESIDES SERVICING PAPER GOODS SALESMEN.
WELL, PUT 'EM ON HOLD. WE'RE BLEEDING MONEY HERE.
TOUGH BUSINESS. WHO KNEW?
WE GOT WHAT WE NEED. WE'RE GOING IN. 10-4.
[Warren] TELL HER WE CAN RESCHEDULE FOR 3:00.
BUT IF WE MAKE IT FOR 4:00, SHE HAS TO BE THERE BY 4:00.
[door busts open]
POLICE!
EVERYBODY STAY REAL STILL.
YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST.
NO.
HELLO, FRANK.
WHAT ARE YOU PROMOTING NOW, ONE-ON-ONE?
LET'S GO.
CASE NUMBER 18018.
PEOPLE V. FRANK BEEZLEY, MONA THEROUX,
AND WARREN PEWLS.
PROMOTING PROSTITUTION, MONEY LAUNDERING.
LET'S GET YOUR PLEA.
JAKE NEMETH, YOUR HONOR, LEAD COUNSEL.
EACH DEFENDANT PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO ALL CHARGES.
[Rubirosa] PEOPLE REQUEST ONE MILLION EACH
FOR PEWLS AND THEROUX
AND FOUR MILLION FOR DEFENDANT BEEZLEY.
FOUR MILLION?
I DIDN'T REALIZE BAIL WAS TIED TO THE PRICE OF OIL.
THESE DEFENDANTS ARE PIMPS WHOSE ONLY COMMUNITY TIES
ARE TO THE WOMEN THEY EXPLOIT.
AS FOR DEFENDANT BEEZLEY,
HE'S THE SUBJECT OF A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
AND HE'S A FLIGHT RISK WITH ACCESS TO FAMILY MONEY.
YOUR HONOR, I'M EDGAR BEEZLEY,
AND I CAN TELL YOU MY SON ISN'T GETTING A DIME.
FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, HE CAN ROT IN JAIL.
[Judge Desmond] HOW REFRESHING.
BAIL IS SET PER THE PEOPLE'S APPLICATION.
[whispering]
WELL, SO ENDS FRANK'S PRODIGAL SON FANTASY.
OUR MURDER CASE MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE A FANTASY TOO
UNLESS WE CAN PROVE MADISON WAS TRYING TO EXPOSE FRANK.
WELL, WE KNOW HE WAS LOOKING INTO 7Q's FINANCIALS.
AND HE MADE A PAYMENT TO THEM OF $5,000.
HE HIRED ONE OF THEIR GIRLS.
PART OF HIS DETECTIVE WORK?
WE NEED TO FIND THAT GIRL.
I SWEAR TO GOD I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS PROSTITUTION.
THEY TOLD ME THE GIRLS JUST MODELED SWIMSUITS.
WELL, YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF BY HELPING US.
[Rubirosa] WE NEED TO MATCH A CLIENT
TO AN ESCORT, MS. THEROUX,
AND WE NEED YOU TO DECODE THE RECORD.
IN RETURN FOR DROPPING ALL CHARGES AGAINST HER.
WE'LL TAKE YOUR COOPERATION INTO CONSIDERATION.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE GIRL
YOU BOOKED FOR AN APPOINTMENT
WITH THIS GENTLEMAN, VICTOR MADISON.
THIS IS A COPY OF HIS CHECK TO THE AGENCY'S ACCOUNT.
I CAN FIND HIM FROM THAT.
MADISON IS FRANK BEEZLEY'S BROTHER-IN-LAW.
DID FRANK EVER TALK ABOUT HIM?
NO.
[Rubirosa] A WEEK AGO THURSDAY NIGHT,
WAS FRANK IN THE OFFICE?
THURSDAY NIGHTS WERE STAFF MEETINGS.
FRANK GOT THERE LATE.
HE--HE WAS SWEATY. HIS SHIRT WAS TORN.
HE SAID HE HAD GOT INTO A FIGHT
WITH A CAB DRIVER.
[typing]
IT'S CHANEL.
THAT GUY'S APPOINTMENT WAS WITH CHANEL.
SHE'S ONE OF OUR EXOTIC MODELS FROM BRAZIL.
SHE LIVES WITH HER BOYFRIEND.
I THINK HE'S WITH ORGANIZED CRIME.
[Chanel] DON'T HURT HIM!
RICHIE, DON'T FIGHT THEM! THEY'RE GONNA HURT YOU!
HEY, LISTEN TO YOUR GIRL, RICHIE.
LET'S GO, CHAMP.
WHY ARE YOU TAKING HIM?
HE DIDN'T DO NOTHING!
HE DIDN'T TELL YOU?
THE FEDS HAVE A WARRANT OUT FOR HIM.
SCREW THE FEDS AND SCREW YOU GUYS!
HEY, THAT'S THE SPIRIT.
ALL RIGHT, CHANEL, YOU'RE NEXT, COME ON.
NO, I DON'T GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH RICHIE'S STUFF.
OH, NO, RICHIE, HE'S JUST A SIDESHOW.
YOU'RE THE MAIN ATTRACTION.
[exhales]
[Rubirosa] DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN?
YOU HAD A DATE WITH HIM TWO WEEKS AGO.
SURE. THE COP.
I MEAN, HE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
NO SEX, JUST QUESTIONS.
WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS?
ABOUT THE CHEFE, MISTER FRANK.
WAS HE THE BOSS OF EXCALIBUR?
DID I TALK TO MR. FRANK? LIKE THAT.
HE FREAKED ME OUT, THIS GUY.
DID YOU TELL FRANK ABOUT HIM?
I TEXTED HIM. HE CALLED ME BACK.
I WAS ALREADY WITH MY NEXT DATE,
BUT MR. FRANK DIDN'T CARE.
HE WAS ALL UPSET.
DID FRANK SAY HE KNEW THIS MAN?
WELL, WHEN I TOLD HIM THE GUY HAD
LETTERS ON HIS SLEEVE HERE,
TWO LETTERS, "V. M.,"
MR. FRANK SAID, "VICTOR."
AND YOUR DATE, DID HE OVERHEAR
YOUR CONVERSATION WITH FRANK?
HE WOULD'VE HAD TO.
HE WAS FEELING ME UP THE WHOLE TIME
I WAS ON THE PHONE.
WELL, WE MIGHT NEED TO TALK TO HIM.
HIS NAME'S AL.
IT WAS MY SECOND TIME WITH HIM.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE HIM?
WHITE GUY. OLD LIKE HIM.
IF RICHIE WERE HERE, HE COULD TELL YOU.
HE SAW AL IN THE LOBBY OF THE HOTEL
WHEN HE CAME TO PICK ME UP.
RICHIE CITRONE WAS WANTED IN CONNECTION
WITH A RICO INVESTIGATION.
HE'S A BAD CHARACTER, BUT HE'S COOPERATING.
WE WANTED TO THANK YOUR OFFICE FOR GRABBING HIM UP.
[McCoy] YOU'RE WELCOME.
BUT A U.S. ATTORNEY AND AN FBI SPECIAL AGENT
HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO
THAN HAND OUT "THANK YOU" NOTES, DON'T YOU?
WE'RE INTERESTED IN EVIDENCE
YOU GATHERED ON EXCALIBUR EXCLUSIVES.
WE UNDERSTAND THE POLICE HAVE WIRETAPS.
I'M NOT CURRENT ON WHAT THEY HAVE.
WELL, WE'D LIKE THE TAPES OF THE CALLS
PERTAINING TO THE CLIENTS
WHO SAW RICHIE CITRONE'S GIRLFRIEND, CHANEL.
WHY THOSE CALLS?
RIGHT.
PUT YOUR REQUEST IN WRITING, AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
[Purcell] WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
CHANEL WAS POPULAR.
OVER THE COURSE OF THREE DAYS,
SHE HAD 18 CALLS FROM FOUR DIFFERENT CLIENTS.
LET'S HEAR THEM.
ANY IDEA WHAT THE FEDS ARE LOOKING FOR?
[Mona on recording] EXCALIBUR. CAN I HELP YOU?
[man on recording] HELLO, MONA, THIS IS TOM.
[Mona] YES, TOM!
[Tom] DID YOU RECEIVE THE PACKAGE?
I SENT IT YESTERDAY.
[Mona] YES, WE RECEIVED IT.
EVERYTHING'S OKAY FOR TONIGHT.
YOU'LL BE SEEING CHANEL.
SHE'S A BRUNETTE. VERY EXOTIC.
SO YOU'LL CALL AFTER YOU CHECK IN
AND GIVE ME THE ROOM NUMBER?
[Tom] YES, AROUND 10:00. I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
[line clicks]
[Mona] EXCALIBUR. CAN I HELP YOU?
[Al] YES, THIS IS AL.
I'D LIKE TO SET SOMETHING UP WITH CHANEL FOR TOMORROW.
MY ACCOUNT NUMBER IS 3-9-8-4.
[Cutter] AL, THAT'S THE GUY
WHO WAS WITH CHANEL WHEN SHE ON THE PHONE WITH FRANK.
[Mona] WE'LL NEED ANOTHER $4,700. DO YOU WANT TO WIRE IT?
[Al] NO, I HAVE CASH.
CAN I LEAVE IT WITH THE CONCIERGE
AT THE HOTEL TOMORROW?
I'VE HEARD ENOUGH.
I CAN'T CALL BEFORE 3:00.
THANKS. I'LL TALK TO YOU THEN.
[line clicks]
[McCoy] IT'S A NON-TARGET LETTER.
IT STATES THAT YOU'RE NOT THE TARGET
OF THE INVESTIGATION,
BUT YOU ARE A PERSON OF INTEREST.
I CAN READ WHAT IT SAYS.
THE ORIGINAL IS BEING DELIVERED TO YOUR LAWYER.
THIS INVESTIGATION--
THE VICTOR MADISON MURDER.
HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW IS BEING CHARGED.
HE RUNS AN ESCORT AGENCY.
EXCALIBUR EXCLUSIVES.
PART OF OUR PROOF
IS A PHONE CALL HE MADE TO AN ESCORT NAMED CHANEL.
SHE WAS WITH A CLIENT WHEN SHE GOT THE CALL.
SOMEONE CALLING HIMSELF AL.
HE HASN'T BEEN POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED.
WE HAVE THE GIRL'S TESTIMONY
AS TO THE CONTENT OF THE CALL,
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE...
WE MIGHT NEED HER CLIENT AL TO CORROBORATE.
WHY ARE YOU HERE, JACK?
THE POLICE TAPPED THE AGENCY'S PHONES.
THEY TAPED CALLS FROM CLIENTS.
I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED A VOICE.
WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THIS?NO ONE.
BUT AT SOME POINT, EVERYONE MAY.
SO ANYONE INVOLVED MIGHT WANT TO SPEAK TO THEIR FAMILIES.
THANKS FOR BRINGING IT TO MY ATTENTION.
THAT'S NOT ALL, GOVERNOR.
YOU HAVE ENEMIES IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT?
BACK WHEN I RAN THE ANTI-CORRUPTION TASK FORCE
I PUT A COUPLE OF THEIR GUYS IN JAIL.
THEY'RE PROBABLY STILL SORE ABOUT IT.
WHY? THE FBI AND THE U.S. ATTORNEY
HAVE ASKED FOR THE WIRETAPS PERTAINING TO THAT GIRL.
THEY MAY HAVE A WITNESS, THE GIRL'S BOYFRIEND,
WHO CAN IDENTIFY THE CLIENT.
HOW WILL YOU ANSWER THIS REQUEST?
THERE ARE LEGITIMATE GROUNDS TO OPPOSE IT.
NECESSITY, PROSECUTORIAL PRIVILEGE.
THAT'S GOOD.
I LIKE SEEING THAT FIRE IN YOUR BELLY.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT WHEN YOU RUN FOR A FULL TERM AS D.A.
I'M RUNNING FOR D.A.?
STAY IN TOUCH, JACK.
[Shalvoy sits down]
SHE'S LYING.
CHANEL NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT VICTOR.
I HAD NO IDEA.
A PROSTITUTE WITH A DRUG PROBLEM?
IF THAT'S YOUR BEST MURDER EVIDENCE,
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, MR. CUTTER.
IT'S EVIDENCE WE CAN BACK UP.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
A METH ADDICT TO CORROBORATE A COKEHEAD?
[chuckles]
NO, I THINK WE'RE DONE HERE.
THAT WAS QUICK.
YEAH, IT'S GONNA COME DOWN TO A BAKE-OFF
BETWEEN CHANEL AND FRANK.
WE BETTER BE READY. WE NEED TO FIND AL.
HOW'S THAT COMING?
WELL, IT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY.
HE PAID CASH.
THE HOTEL ROOM WAS BOOKED UNDER AN ALIAS.
AND THE PHONE NUMBER TRACES BACK TO A PREPAID CELL.
HE'S CAREFUL.
HE'S EITHER GOT A SUSPICIOUS WIFE
OR A HIGH-PROFILE JOB.
JACK, HAVE YOU SEE THIS?SEEN WHAT?
MANHATTANHEARS BLOG IS REPORTING
THAT YOU'RE BEING INVESTIGATED.
SOMEBODY EMAILED ME THE LINK.
"WAS THE CITY'S TOP LAW ENFORCER
"CALIFORNIA DREAMING ON OUR DIME?
"ALLEGATIONS ARE FLYING
"THAT HARD-CHARGING D.A. JACK MCCOY
"CHARGED THE TAXPAYERS
"FOR A PERSONAL TRIP OUT WEST,
"WHERE HE USED PUBLIC FUNDS
TO PLAY DADDY WITH HIS DAUGHTER."
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
I ATTENDED A CONFERENCE IN LOS ANGELES.
REBECCA DROVE UP FROM SAN DIEGO FOR DINNER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE US, JACK.
THERE'S MORE.
"INSIDERS SAY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
MAY EMPANEL A GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE."
YES, IT SURPRISED ME TOO.
THANKS FOR CALLING ME BACK, BILL.
GOOD NIGHT.
IT'S A BUNCH OF NOTHING.
BUT NOW THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS TO ORDER AN AUDIT.
I HAVE A FRIEND IN THE BLOGOSPHERE.
SHE CHASED THE RUMOR BACK TO A P.R. FIRM,
SWANN & POLTECH.
YOU KNOW THEM?
THEY HANDLED THE GOVERNOR'S CAMPAIGN.
WELL, YOU THINK THEY'D PUT THIS OUT
WITHOUT CHECKING WITH HIM?
DIDN'T YOU TELL ME A FEW WEEKS AGO
THAT YOU WERE SHALVOY'S NEW FAIR-HAIRED BOY?
A FEW WEEKS IS A LONG TIME.
JACK...WHAT'S GOING ON?
SOMEBODY'S SENDING ME A MESSAGE.
CLOSE THE DOOR.
[exhales]
THAT ESCORT'S CLIENT, AL,
THE ONE WHO WAS IN THE ROOM WHEN SHE GOT THE PHONE CALL?
[exhales]
I RECOGNIZED THE VOICE.
I THINK IT'S SHALVOY.
ALL RIGHT. GO ON.
I WENT TO SEE SHALVOY.
I GAVE HIM A COPY OF A NON-TARGET LETTER
I SENT HIS LAWYER.
I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE TAPES,
THAT HE MIGHT BE CALLED AS A WITNESS.
AND WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME?
I'M TELLING YOU NOW.
I TOLD SHALVOY THE FEDS WANT THOSE TAPES,
THAT THEY'RE TARGETING HIM
FOR A CORRUPT OFFICIALS INVESTIGATION.
NOW HE'S WARNING ME IF I DON'T PROTECT HIM,
I CAN FORGET ABOUT RUNNING FOR D.A. NEXT YEAR.
SO YOU'VE DECIDED TO RUN.
I HAVEN'T DECIDED NOT TO RUN.
WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T.
I'M PROSECUTING A MURDERER,
AND YOU PRACTICALLY COMMIT WITNESS TAMPERING.
HE WASN'T A WITNESS WHEN I TALKED TO HIM.
WELL, I'M NOT EVEN SURE
I CAN USE HIM NOW, THANKS TO YOU.
I MEAN, WHEN THIS COMES OUT
IT'S GONNA MAKE US ALL LOOK BAD.
MIKE, GET MAD AT ME TOMORROW.
I CAN'T FIGHT YOU AND THE GOVERNOR AT THE SAME TIME.
WELL, YOU CAN WIN THAT FIGHT.
JUST GIVE THE FEDS WHAT THEY WANT.
HE'S THE ONE WHO HIRED A PROSTITUTE.
TRUE, BUT THE FEDS CUT A DEAL
WITH A VIOLENT MOB PUNK
TO CATCH SHALVOY WITH HIS PANTS DOWN.
THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF BAD BLOOD WITH SHALVOY.
IT'S PAYBACK TIME
AND I REFUSE TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK.
AND JEOPARDIZE YOUR JOB.
MIKE, GIVE ME A LITTLE CREDIT.
GLAD I'M NOT THE ONE GETTING HIS NUTS SQUEEZED.
[door closes]
[slaps desk]
ALLEGATION'S OUTRAGEOUS.
THAT YOU'D MISUSE PUBLIC FUNDS.
I'LL ISSUE A STATEMENT OF SUPPORT THIS AFTERNOON.
WHICH WILL ONLY LEND CREDENCE TO THE CHARGES.
YOU CAN'T SIT BACK AND LET THESE THINGS
GET TRACTION, JACK.
YOU CAN DROP THE CHARADE, GOVERNOR.
WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
IT'S A NOT-TOO-SUBTLE REMINDER OF YOUR POWER.
I CAME TO YOU TO DO THE DECENT THING.
TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SQUARE UP WITH YOUR FAMILY
BEFORE YOUR INDISCRETIONS BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE.
NOTHING'S GONNA BLOW UP, JACK,
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT.
YOU LIKE BEING DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
MORE TO THE POINT,
YOU'D LIKE TO KEEP BEING DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT ME.
DON, YOU CAN'T DODGE THIS SCANDAL.
YOU CAN ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.
IT'S IN YOUR INTEREST TO COVER MY BACK.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
NO?
YOUR REQUEST FOR THE TAPE LACKS SPECIFICITY
AND FAILED TO ESTABLISH ANY EVIDENTIARY FOUNDATION.
WE'LL CORRECT THOSE DEFECTS
IN OUR NEXT APPLICATION,
WHICH WILL COME IN THE FORM OF A SUBPOENA.
AND THEN YOU CAN READ MY TEN OTHER REASONS
TO DENY YOUR REQUEST
IN MY MOTION TO QUASH YOUR SUBPOENA.
WE READ THE BLOGS TOO, MR. MCCOY.
WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
YEAH, SHALVOY YANKS THE LEASH, AND YOU HEEL.
IF YOU CAME HERE TO ANNOY ME, YOU'VE SUCCEEDED.
GOOD DAY.
HOW'S YOUR TRIAL PREP COMING?
OUR WITNESS LIST LOOKS LIKE A HIP-HOP VIDEO.
HOOKERS, PIMPS, PLAYERS.
ADD THIS NAME TO YOUR LIST.
ISSUE THE SUBPOENA NOW,
BUT DON'T TURN THE NAME OVER TO THE DEFENSE
UNTIL YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE
YOU NEED THE TESTIMONY.
GOVERNOR SHALVOY?
[McCoy] AL, AS HE'S KNOWN TO HIS FRIENDS
IN THE ESCORT BUSINESS.
I NEVER SHOULD'VE TALKED TO THAT BASTARD.
I LET SENTIMENT CLOUD MY JUDGMENT.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
BUT I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED.
DIDN'T YOU JUST TURN DOWN THE FEDS' REQUEST
FOR THE TAPES?
I DON'T WANT THE FEDS TO TAKE DOWN SHALVOY.
I WANT TO DO IT MYSELF.
JACK, WE NEED TO TALK.
I JUST GOT SERVED A SUBPOENA SIGNED BY MICHAEL CUTTER.
I KNOW. I TOLD HIM TO DO IT.
YOU TOLD HIM?
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING?
HELPING TO CONVICT A MURDERER.
YOU HAVE MAYBE TEN DAYS BEFORE THIS GOES PUBLIC.
NOW GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY TO--
MY FAMILY'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
MY PERSONAL LIFE IS NOT ANYBODY'S BUSINESS.
YOU WORRY, JACK.
YOU WORRY HOW YOU'RE GONNA GET ELECTED WITHOUT ME.
IT'S THANKS TO ME YOU HAVE THIS JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE.
NOBODY WANTED YOU.
I'D RATHER BE AN UNEMPLOYED LAWYER
THAN A WELL-FED PET.
YOU'RE A FOOL.
I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR YOU.
I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR YOU!
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR YOU?
THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED YOU?
HOW COULD YOU BE SO RECKLESS WITH THEIR TRUST?
I RESPECTED YOU, DONALD.
RESPECTED YOU.
[Suzanne] A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY BROTHER TOLD ME
HE WANTED TO COME BACK INTO THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
HE WAS AFRAID OF ASKING OUR FATHER.
HE WANTED ME TO GO WITH HIM.
I HAD ALWAYS ADMIRED MY BROTHER
FOR STARTING HIS OWN BUSINESS,
FOR TRYING TO HAVE HIS OWN IDENTITY.
BUT HE WAS HAVING A HARD TIME.
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU AND FRANK
WENT TO SEE YOUR FATHER?
DAD WAS VERY TOUGH ON FRANK.
FRANK HAD TO PRACTICALLY BEG FOR ANOTHER CHANCE.
FINALLY, DAD SAID IF IT WAS OKAY
WITH VICTOR AND ME,
HE WOULDN'T STAND IN THE WAY.
THANK YOU. NO MORE QUESTIONS.
WHAT DID YOUR HUSBAND VICTOR SAY ABOUT FRANK
REJOINING THE FAMILY BUSINESS?
I WOULDN'T SAY THAT VICTOR WAS THRILLED,
BUT HE DIDN'T OBJECT.
SO THIS THEORY
THAT HE WAS SABOTAGING MY CLIENT'S RETURN
TO MADISON-BEEZLEY IS PURE SPECULATION, ISN'T IT?
WITHDRAWN.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
[Cutter] REDIRECT, YOU HONOR.
MS. MADISON, IF YOU'D KNOWN
YOUR BROTHER WAS OPERATING AN ESCORT SERVICE,
WOULD YOU HAVE WELCOMED HIM BACK WITH OPEN ARMS?
NO.
I COULDN'T. IT'S UNFORGIVABLE.
[exhales]
RITA, THEY DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WERE HERE.
TEN YEARS AS A VICTIMS' ADVOCATE,
I'VE PERFECTED THE ART OF THE AMBUSH.
[exhales]
DONALD TOLD ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
TOLD ME ALL ABOUT IT.
I'M REALLY SORRY
FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
BUT I HOPE YOU'RE NOT HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR DONALD.
HE'S NOT A VICTIM HERE.
NO.
BUT MY YOUNG SONS ARE.
PLEASE, JACK.
DON'T DRAG DONALD INTO COURT.
YOU DON'T NEED HIM.
RITA, EVEN IF THERE WASN'T A TRIAL--
I PROMISE YOU, HE WON'T SEEK RE-ELECTION.
HE'LL BE OUT OF OFFICE IN A YEAR.
LET MY FAMILY RETIRE FROM PUBLIC LIFE
WITH SOME DIGNITY.
I CAN'T DO IT, RITA.
YOU WANT TO SERVE THE GREATER GOOD.
I KNOW THAT ABOUT YOU.
THIS OFFICE IS WHERE YOU CAN DO THE MOST GOOD.
YOU'D HAVE ME KEEP MY JOB BY NOT DOING MY JOB.
DONALD BROKE THE LAW.
DON'T GET SELF-RIGHTEOUS WITH ME.
RITA, I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS--
NO, YOU DON'T.
YOU CAN'T.
I WANT TO HIT HIM, JACK.
I WANT TO HURT HIM.
HE BROKE MY HEART.
BUT I WILL NOT BE THE LONG-SUFFERING WIFE
WHO STANDS BY HER MAN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS
AND IS DISSECTED
WHILE HE GROVELS FOR FORGIVENESS.
I WILL NOT BE THAT WOMAN.
I WON'T BE HUMILIATED.
I'M SORRY.
[Chanel] MR. FRANK WAS SCREAMING AT ME OVER THE PHONE.
HE SAID THAT IF IT TURNED OUT
I SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HIM TO THAT GUY,
HE'D HURT ME.
I SWORE TO HIM I DIDN'T.
AND WHEN YOU SAY "THAT GUY,"
YOU MEAN THIS MAN, THE VICTIM, VICTOR MADISON?
YES.
THANK YOU. NO MORE QUESTIONS.
MS. BORBA...
WHEN YOU HAD SEX WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS,
DID YOU TELL THEM THAT THEY WERE GREAT LOVERS,
REAL STALLIONS IN BED?
SURE.
AND ARE THEY GREAT IN BED?
NO, THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.
[chuckles] I SEE.
WHEN YOU WORKED FOR MY CLIENT,
DID YOU USE COCAINE ON A DAILY BASIS?
SURE.
DOING THAT JOB, IT HELPED.
WELL, HOW COULD YOU AFFORD THAT HABIT?
DID YOU SELL DRUGS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS?
[Chanel] SOMETIMES.
IT'S LIKE PARTY FAVORS.
WASN'T THAT AGAINST EXCALIBUR'S RULES?
RIGHT, THE RULES.
AND WHEN MY CLIENT FOUND OUT ABOUT IT,
DIDN'T HE DOCK YOUR PAY?
YEAH, IT WASN'T FAIR. I WORKED FOR THAT MONEY.
DIDN'T HE SUSPEND YOU?THAT WAS WRONG.
SO NOW...
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE
TO PAY HIM BACK,
ISN'T IT?
TO PUNISH HIM?
NO, I'M NOT LIKE THAT.LIKE WHAT?
A LIAR WHO TELLS PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR?
A DRUG ADDICT WHO SELLS DRUGS? A CHEAT--
SCREW YOU!
I'M NOT A BAD PERSON. I'M NOT!
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
HE WALKED HER RIGHT INTO A BUZZ SAW.
IT WAS UGLY.WE HAVE NO CHOICE NOW.
WE HAVE TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON SHALVOY.
WE NEED HIM TO TESTIFY ABOUT WHAT HE OVERHEARD.
DO IT.
FILE AN AMENDED WITNESS LIST TONIGHT.
SEND IT TO THE DEFENSE.
THAT'LL GIVE 'EM THE WEEKEND TO GET READY.[Blackberry beeps]
I BETTER PREPARE A STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.
IT'S FRANK'S ATTORNEY.
THEY WANT A MEETING. NOW.
HE WANTS TO PLEAD GUILTY?
THAT'S RIGHT.
SO WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO OFFER?
LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.NO.
WE DO THIS NOW OR WE FORGET IT.
20 TO LIFE?
GOOD.
I'LL CALL THE JUDGE NOW AND WE'LL ALLOCUTE MONDAY MORNING.
LET'S GO.
MR. BEEZLEY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOUR LAWYER PRACTICALLY DEMOLISHED OUR MAIN WITNESS.
LIKE I EXPLAINED TO MY CLIENT,
JURIES ARE VERY UNPREDICTABLE.
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
THE CASE WAS GOING WELL FOR HIM.
ONE THING ABOUT THIS GUILTY PLEA,
THERE'S NO NEED NOW FOR SHALVOY TO TESTIFY.
YEAH, HIS SECRET LIFE STAYS SECRET.
THEY GOT TO FRANK BEEZLEY.
FIND OUT HOW.
YEAH. I VISITED MY SON IN JAIL.
IS THAT SOME SORT OF CRIME?
[Rubirosa] WELL, YOUR FIRST VISIT IN THREE MONTHS,
IT JUMPED OUT.
ESPECIALLY SINCE FOUR HOURS LATER,
FRANK TOOK A GUILTY PLEA.
WHAT MAGIC WORDS DID YOU TELL HIM?
JUST MY REASSURANCE THAT NO MATTER WHAT,
I'D STAND BY HIM.
MAYBE THAT GAVE HIM THE COURAGE TO FACE HIS RESPONSIBILITY.
MUST BE, UH,
TOUGH TO JUST JUMP BACK IN TO THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
IT'S A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS IS WHAT IT IS.
YOUR DAUGHTER DOESN'T WANT TO RUN IT?
WHAT, IN THE PLACE WHERE HER HUSBAND WAS MURDERED?
SO YOU'RE PUTTING IT UP FOR SALE?
NO. MADISON & BEEZLEY HAS ALWAYS PASSED
FROM FATHER TO SON.
EXCEPT YOUR SON WILL BE BUSY FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.
[chuckles]
LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE TURNED A CORNER ON FRANK.
I WAS ALWAYS STRICT WITH FRANK.
ESPECIALLY AFTER MY WIFE DIED.
BUT A BOY, NO MATTER HOW OLD,
NEEDS TO KNOW THAT HIS FATHER LOVES HIM.
IT TOOK A MOTHER WITH SONS TO REMIND ME OF THAT.
I NEED TO GET BACK TO THIS.
[whispers] A MOTHER WITH SONS.
COME ON, BOYS. GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU IN PRIVATE.
RITA, I WANT A STRAIGHT ANSWER.
DID YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH FRANK BEEZLEY'S FATHER?
YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED, DIDN'T YOU, JACK?
YOUR MURDERER'S GOING TO PRISON.
FOR HOW LONG?
UNTIL DONALD COMMUTES HIS SENTENCE.
THAT'S THE DEAL, ISN'T IT?
JACK, WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?
FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
FAMILY AND PUBLIC SERVICE.
WE HAVE A LOT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH.
WE? THIS IS ABOUT YOUR AMBITIONS TOO?
[Governor Shalvoy] READY?
HI, JACK.
JACK WAS JUST TELLING ME THAT HIS MURDER CASE
HAS ENDED IN A PLEA BARGAIN.
LET ME JUST SAY GOOD-NIGHT TO THE BOYS.
PLEA BARGAIN'S GOOD.
THOSE JURIES ARE JUST TOO DAMN UNPREDICTABLE.
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
JACK, NOW, YOU CAN THREATEN ME OR YOU CAN RESIGN...
OR YOU CAN DO
LIKE THE REST OF US.
BITE THE BULLET AND MOVE ON.
BY THE WAY, I WANT YOU TO BE MY GUEST JULY 19TH.
THE FEDS ARE BREAKING GROUND
ON A NEW DEA REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS
IN WHITE PLAINS.
STATE'S LEASING THE LAND TO THEM FOR 99 YEARS
FOR ONE DOLLAR.
GOOD NIGHT, JACK.
THEY DID?
ALL RIGHT. THANKS.
THE FEDS WITHDREW THEIR SUBPOENA FOR THE TAPES.
SHALVOY BOUGHT THEM OFF WITH A LAND LEASE.
[knock at door]
OUR STAR WITNESS, CHANEL,
I.C.E. DEPORTED HER BACK TO BRAZIL LAST NIGHT.
THAT LEAVES RICHIE CITRONE, THE BOYFRIEND.
HE SAW SHALVOY AT THE HOTEL.
SORRY. RICHIE CITRONE HAS DISAPPEARED
INTO WITNESS PROTECTION.THAT'S IT.
SHALVOY TIED UP ALL THE LOOSE ENDS.
THERE MUST BE SOMETHING HE FORGOT.
A PAYMENT OR HOTEL ROOM HE BOOKED.
ALL CASH TRANSACTIONS,
AND ALL ROOMS WERE BOOKED
UNDER ASSUMED NAMES.
IF THEY WERE ALL UNDER ASSUMED NAMES,
HOW CAN YOU EVEN BE SURE IT WAS HIM?
SHOW HIM.
THIS IS THE NAME HE USED
TO BOOK A ROOM IN FEBRUARY.
"JOHN MCCOY."
HE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR.
YOU'RE HIS ENEMY NOW, JACK.
LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO.
