It's me.
Let me in.
What are you doing here? I thought I put you on a plane.
Chris?
Hey, don't shush me. What's going on?
I need a place to stay for a while.
You're not staying here.
All right, hold it. Don't move.
You broke my nose, lady.
Let me fix it for you. Please, put that down, miss.
We've got no beef with you. You invade my house, we got a beef.
Betty, this is no good. Excuse the intrusion, but your husband here owes me
grand plus interest.
Now, drastic measures must be taken.
You understand?
I understand I want you out of here, all of you.
In a minute. Betty, it's not like I don't want to... Stop it, that's enough.
Brian. Oh, Betty.
You've got till tomorrow, and that's it.
Come on.
Honey, I'm home.
Nice work, Rob.
Thanks, Tony.
Good job, Commander.
And this room.
So I whack him with a solid right.
Boom. Did you knock him out?
Oh, hell no.
Broke my bloody hand.
Oh, welcome back, sir. Good morning. Nice job on the nerve gas hearing, sir.
Thank you, Carolyn. It's nice to be back.
Sir, do you know our new foreign exchange officer?
Lieutenant Commander Harmon Rabb, Lieutenant Commander Mick Brumby, Royal
Australian Navy. Well, I heard you were coming aboard, Commander.
Going to be with us long?
I don't know.
Orders are open -ended.
He did quite a job straightening out the Congressional Committee, Commander.
Got lucky.
So how's Harriet, bud?
She's just hoping the first trimester ends soon, sir. I think things are going
to get a lot easier when I finish my finals and get out of law school.
So come on, bud. Don't want to keep the old man waiting, do we?
Status on the Fry case?
I suggest dropping charges, sir.
Admiral, if I may, I think that would be unwise at this time.
Well, I appreciate Commander Rugby's impromptu opinion, sir. That's Brumby.
cake holds no water. The defendant has an airtight alibi.
Actually, Commander, while you were gone, I did a bit of work on that alibi.
you? I persuaded Seaman Fry's girlfriend that perjury was an unwise course and
that your federal penitentiaries are such nasty places.
Anyway, she's disappeared with his alibi and his CD collection.
Nice work, Commander Brumby.
Well, Ram, that should free you up a bit. I expect you want to prosecute?
Yes, sir.
Hey, don't mention it, Commander.
I'm sorry I'm late, sir.
Dead battery.
Suman Ravner.
Accused of salting his lead petty officer.
I'll take it, sir.
Sergeant Stromfeld, drunken disorderly McKenzie.
Senior Chief Rosselli, homicide.
Grumby.
Lieutenant Moss, indecent exposure.
Sir?
He allegedly dropped his trousers and mooned his fellow officer while he was
jogging on the bay.
Hmm.
Moon river, wider than a mile.
Wipe that smile off your face, Lieutenant.
A charge like this could ruin a man's career.
Yes, sir.
I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of it.
I, uh, I have to go type some briefs.
No pun intended, sir.
What, no bad jokes about my case?
This stuff must really be bothering you.
Me? I'm fine. You can talk to me about it, man.
I tried talking to you. As I recall, you were in Congress with a congresswoman.
How is Bobby Latham, by the way?
She's fine.
I'm sorry that I wasn't free when you needed me, but I'm here now.
What's going on?
All right, I do have a slight problem.
Excuse me, Commander.
Congresswoman Latham is online, too, sir. Tell her I'm busy. Take a message,
thanks. It's her second call this morning, sir. Tell her I'm in a meeting,
Tyner. I'll call her later. Thank you.
Bye, sir.
That's okay.
You know, if you give her time, she'll come around.
Who will come around to what?
The major. To trust in you again.
Look, here's the deal.
You stray once, she'll forgive you.
You'll pay, but she'll forgive you. I didn't stray.
You strayed twice.
She'll push you away forever.
First of all, I didn't stray.
Look, come off the grass, mate.
Second of all, I certainly don't need your advice on women. And third, Mac is
not a woman. She's a friend.
So there's nothing between you two?
She's a free agent, as far as you're concerned?
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, yeah.
Then you're right.
You don't need my advice.
I'll see you around.
Found a couple of ribeyes in the freezer.
Hope you still like well done.
Chris, what are you doing?
Cooking up a little supper.
Where's your garlic powder?
You were supposed to be gone by the time I got home.
Yeah.
Well, I've been thinking about that.
Well, I gave you $3 ,000 and a plane ticket. I don't want you back in my
I was out of your life for 12 years.
How come you never got a divorce?
Come on, sir. Tell the truth.
Why didn't you divorce me? What difference does it make? A piece of
not make us man and wife.
We had more than a piece of paper between the two of us. The divorce is
formality. I can get one any time.
It's not just a formality to me. I'm not behind bars now. You can't throw me
away so easy. You don't have a choice.
Why? Because I'm a dumb ex -con and you're a marine officer, a lawyer?
I've got plans, Sarah.
Don't include me in your plans.
You think I'm a loser.
But I was good enough to get you away from your drunken daddy, wasn't I? I
a new life now, Chris.
It's a good one.
I'm not a fancy lieutenant colonel like your boyfriend, Farrow, am I? He is not
my boyfriend.
Oh, you forget. I saw you two in Okinawa.
Doesn't the Marine Corps frown on its officers, messing around with its COs,
especially if they're married?
See, I got choices.
I can wreck your career if I want to.
You can't blackmail me into loving you, Chris.
I can hurt you in so many ways.
Get out.
I'm at the Hotel Normandy.
Room 401.
Enjoy your steak.
When were you married, Matt?
Life's long ago.
Look, he was in prison for five years for a felony.
We haven't lived together since.
I can get a divorce any time.
So what's the problem?
He's threatening to tell about our relationship in Okinawa.
How does he know about it?
He followed me there. He saw us.
Look, you were rotating out at the time, Mac.
Yeah, but technically I was still under your command that made it a violation of
the UCMJ.
So it's his word against ours. Are you willing to lie under oath to protect
career? My career?
Now, my career ended with a court -martial, Mac.
Remember, no punishment awarded.
Maintaining sewers and filling potholes isn't punishment, I don't know what is.
But I would lie to protect you.
Very chivalrous, John.
But I wouldn't allow it.
I don't want to see you hurt.
You know, I guess I never really stopped caring for you.
I remember when we were together.
So, what does he want?
Me, he says.
I don't think much of his courting technique.
You say he owes money?
Fifteen thousand plus.
I'll talk to him.
No, I'll handle it. I only came here because I thought you had a right to
I'm glad you did, but I'll talk to him.
You don't know him, John. He's dangerous.
Hello?
Harm, it's me.
Who is this, Bobby?
Mac.
Mac?
What the hell time is it?
I don't know. Listen, I need your help.
What's wrong?
I've been arrested.
Arrested for what?
Murdering my husband.
Major McKenzie was arrested last night.
Commander Ram will brief you.
Have a seat, gentlemen.
Christopher Ragle was shot to death in his hotel room last night.
Lieutenant Colonel John Farrell and Major McKenzie were there.
They've been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Who's Christopher Ragle, sir?
It's the Major's husband.
Major what?
Apparently, Major McKenzie was married.
Who's this Colonel Farrow?
Mac's former CO.
He was court -martialed last year for sending troops into Haiti against
Members found him guilty, but awarded no punishment.
Good defense attorney.
Thank you. Of course, he's facing administrative separation.
Continue, Commander.
Yes, sir. A nine -millimeter thick tower was found on the scene.
Partial prints on the weapon belonged to the Major and the Colonel.
Any gunfire residue?
It's inconclusive.
What about motive?
Police believe it was a lover's triangle.
Sounds like they have a good circumstantial case.
They don't. We do.
Yes, the attorney has a full case load. He's turning this one over to us.
We're charging Mack and Lieutenant Colonel Farrell with murder and
Commander Ted Lindsey will prosecute.
Ted's a damn good litigator.
Yeah, well, I proposed myself as defense counsel.
With all due respect, sir, I think that's a bad idea, given Commander
relationship with Major McKenzie.
I don't give a rat's ass what you think, Burnby.
That's Brumby.
With all due respect.
That's exactly my point, sir.
He's too emotionally involved to be objective.
Admiral, sir, I respectfully request permission to defend Major McKenzie in
trial.
Permission granted.
Thank you, sir.
Commander Brumby, you will defend Lieutenant Colonel Farrell. Mr. Roberts,
you'll assist.
Now, I expect you two to work together. If you can't, I will replace both of
you. Understood?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
Aye, aye, sir.
I didn't know how you wanted it until I left the plane. I'm not hungry, thanks.
Thanks again for keeping me out of the brig.
Lucky the Navy doesn't consider you a fly risk.
You want to tell me about your husband?
He showed up last week needing money.
I gave him $3 ,000 and a plane ticket.
And then three nights ago he came back.
Three goons were after him. They broke in.
Did they hurt you?
No.
They beat up Chris pretty bad.
Spent the night on the couch.
When I came home later that evening, he was still there.
I asked him to leave.
It got ugly.
Did he threaten you?
In a way.
The next day, I drove to Quantico and told Colonel Farrow about it.
Why did you go to him?
Because she trusted me.
I was her first CO.
Mentor, I guess.
So you decided to play Sir Galahad? No, I decided to help a friend.
I went to Regal's hotel room.
I gave him the money.
$15 ,000.
$20 ,000.
Enough for him to pay off his loan and get out of town.
And as I was leaving the hotel, I ran into Mac coming in.
She insisted on talking to Regal for one last time, so I went up with her.
When we got to the room, he was dead.
Did you see anybody else there?
No. So what happened to the money?
I assumed the killer took it.
So Regal was blackmailing you?
Yeah, but not just for money.
He wanted me back, or so he said.
Do you want to know if I killed him?
As your friend, yeah.
As your lawyer.
Here's how I see it.
You and Farrell showed up to talk. The door was open.
You went in, he was already dead.
Farrell picked up the weapon. He handed it to you.
You phoned the police.
My client says he's innocent.
What did your client say?
I didn't ask.
I see.
You feel now the facts will hamper your defense.
Facts can be misleading.
If I was prosecuting, I'd propose the husband comes from Mac's dim, dark past.
He threatens her.
She calls Farrow.
They conspire to kill him.
Mac is not a murderer.
Well, you didn't think she was married, either.
You know, there's always the loan shark.
Loan sharks don't kill you, Harm.
They can't collect if you're dead.
Well, what would you have us do? Plead them guilty?
Certainly not.
But we should decide if they're guilty or not, so we can defend them
accordingly.
What do we got here?
Desk clerk.
Manager.
What are you spying on us for?
This is my hotel. I got a right to know what's going on.
Do you?
Tell me, Mike. What went on here last night? No, no, no. I already talked to
cops. And I'm not saying nothing more without my agent.
Your agent?
Yeah. The tabloids pay good money for stuff like this. I'm not going to give
away for free.
I got somewhere I got to be.
And as to whether they're guilty or not, They're not.
I called your office, but they didn't seem to know where you were.
But you did.
You told me you liked to come here. I figured it was a safe bet.
You look worried.
How's Mac?
She's not great.
Sorry to hear that.
You've been avoiding me.
Yes. Well, at least you respect me enough not to lie.
Well, you can deal with the truth. It's one of the things I like about you.
What else do you like about me?
Besides the obvious.
Your integrity.
Please.
You're not afraid to admit when you're wrong.
Especially when I'm wrong in front of the whole country.
Bobby, I'm sorry about the sarin investigation.
Forget it.
It was the best thing that could have happened in my career.
We know how Americans love a good mea culpa.
We're working on my... I was arrogant, but I'm humble now speech.
How's that for integrity?
I think it'll probably get you into the Senate.
You're a fantastic woman, Bobby.
If my life were different... Right now, the last thing I need in my life is
commitment.
So, uh... Friends, okay?
Detective Muldoon, what time did you arrive at the murder scene?
11 .35 p .m.
And what did you find there?
Christopher Riegel, dead, shot in the chest.
and the two defendants waiting for me.
Was there any sign of a break -in?
No.
What type of wound was it?
Contact.
Abrasions around the edges, no tattooing.
The gun was right against his chest.
Was there a struggle?
Hard to say.
If there was a struggle, which way would the victim have fallen?
Down.
Your witness.
Detective, who called the police?
The defendants, I believe.
Is this typical behavior for a murderer, to call the police and then wait for
them to arrive?
No, not typical, but I've seen stranger things.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Did you get statements from the suspects, Detective?
From Colonel Farrow only. Major McKenzie said she would speak only through an
attorney. So Colonel Farrow cooperated, but Major McKenzie did not.
That's correct.
And what conclusion did you draw from Major McKenzie's unwillingness to
cooperate?
She was playing a cagey. Your Honor, I would like that remark stricken.
Objection. It was a proper defense question, asked and answered.
The response stays.
Sir, I request a 15 -minute recess to confer with counsel.
You may.
We'll break for lunch and resume at 1400.
What the hell are you doing in there?
Defending my client. The same as you.
No, not the same as me.
Trying to make Mac look guilty.
Look, Mac is a lawyer.
Farrow isn't. The members know that.
It's only natural she would ask for an attorney to be present.
Why bring it up?
If they had planned the murder together, Farrow would have asked for a lawyer
too.
By showing they behaved inconsistently, we reduce the impression.
Of a well -thought -out conspiracy.
Makes sense, sir.
So slip me a note next time, all right? We're supposed to be working on it
together.
You got it.
Defense may call its first witness.
Defense calls Lieutenant Colonel John Farrow.
Please state your name and duty station.
Lieutenant Colonel John Philip Farrell, Deputy Maintenance Officer, Marine Corps
Base Quantico.
You commanded the Headquarters and Service Battalion at Camp Butler on
correct? That's correct.
And the then First Lieutenant Sarah McKenzie was your administrative
Yes.
Was she a good officer, sir? Yes, she was. One of my finest.
In fact, it was on your recommendation that the Marines pay for her law school,
was it not?
Yes, it was.
Colonel, did you and Sarah McKenzie have an affair while she was under your
command?
Objection, Your Honor. Irrelevant.
Overruled.
Witness will answer.
Yes.
We saw each other.
But she was already transferring out.
And my recommendation for law school, that was prior to our relationship.
There was absolutely no impact to the good order and discipline of my command.
Did you know that she was married at the time?
No. So you did not knowingly commit adultery, sir?
No, I did not.
But Major McKenzie did, didn't she?
Your Honor.
Knowingly commit adultery, that is. Sir, I move for immediate severance under
RCM 906.
Your Honor, the government strenuously objects.
It's a bit late in the game for a separate trial, Commander. On what
Sir, the defense counsel is eliciting testimony which is unduly prejudicial to
my client. I'm simply trying to get all the facts out, Your Honor.
This court will recess until ten hundred hours tomorrow morning, at which time
I'll hold an Article 39 Alpha session to hear arguments for separate trials.
The members will not attend.
Counselors, this better be legitimate.
It was unethical.
I acted in the best interest of my client. What, by accusing the Major of
adultery? She was guilty of adultery.
You planned to pin this murder on her from the start, Brumby. Untrue. That is
untrue. I only decided that today.
Did I hear you right, Commander?
I am convinced Major McKenzie killed her husband.
Farrow is innocent, and I will defend him to the limits of my abilities, and
that means incriminating the Major, so be it.
You are a selfish... Serving arrogant bastard, Brumby.
One day, you and I will have a private conversation about that. Oh, that we
will, Brumby, that we will.
Maybe your tactics work in the Australian Navy, but I don't think much
here.
Perhaps the Admiral would like my tactics better, sir, if they were in
McKenzie's favor.
Careful, Brumby.
Permission to speak freely, sir. What the hell have you been doing?
Oh, you lot.
Rab, Roberts, even you, Admiral, sir.
You're all Mac's friends, but you're all a little bit in love with her.
Not that I blame you, but it clouds your judgment, sir. Have you considered the
possibility that maybe she is guilty? Yes, I have.
And what?
You dismiss the idea.
Well, I can't dismiss the idea, sir. It's my job to investigate that very
possibility.
Either I defend my client as I see fit, sir, or I step down, sir.
Let him defend his clients, sir. I'll defend mine at separate trials.
Admiral Morris will make that decision. You defend your clients, gentlemen. But
don't you turn this into a mudsling contest. Isn't that clear?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
Well, things certainly have gotten interesting around here since I've been
Admiral.
You don't know the half of it.
I told Brumby I'm telling you. No more testimony that hurts Mac.
You've got my word on it.
Let me just say up front that I'm reluctant to grant severance this far
proceedings. However, I will hear Commander Rapp's motion.
Why do you want separate trials?
Your Honor, I believe that Commander Brumby's defense is antagonistic toward
client. Based on what?
Have you two discussed it?
In general terms, sir.
Well, then let's get specific.
Commander Brumby, do you intend to introduce evidence prejudicial to Major
McKenzie?
No, Your Honor.
Apparently not.
Approach.
What's going on here? My client has informed me that he will refuse to
questions that might tend to incriminate Major McKenzie.
What is that?
The fifth by proxy?
Is this a trick, gentlemen?
Are you setting me up for an overturn on appeal?
No, sir. No, you're not. Because if you are, I'll get you both disbarred.
Am I clear?
Aye, sir.
Yes, sir.
That will be all, gentlemen.
Defense motion denied.
Trial will continue.
Staff Sergeant, summon the members, please.
Colonel Farah.
Would you please describe what occurred in the hotel room on the night in
question?
I went there intending to buy Regal off.
I've been expecting you.
Do you know who I am?
Yeah.
20 ,000 cash.
Very generous, John.
Drink? Take the money.
Get out of her life.
Let's have a drink to consummate our deal.
To Sarah.
My wife.
Bless her cheating heart.
Expect your God by tomorrow.
You steal a man's wife.
You try to buy him off.
I've been waiting to do this ever since Okinawa.
Do you have a need to go back to prison?
No.
You came up here in a jealous rage.
You threatened me. I had to defend myself.
And that's when Major McKenzie showed up.
She took the gun from me.
We tried to use the telephone. It wasn't working.
So we called the police from her car.
Thank you, Colonel.
No further questions.
Colonel, why didn't you tell the police the story when they questioned you?
Well, I was afraid they wouldn't believe me.
They'd think I was trying to protect Major McKenzie.
Well, aren't you?
Object.
Badgering. Sustained.
Colonel, what happened to the money?
I don't know.
The last I thought was in the room.
Well, the police never found it.
Now, if your story's true, where's the money?
I don't know.
That is not how it happened.
I can get you off the phone. I put John Squarely on it. I want to testify.
No.
I will not let him take the heat from me. I want to tell my story. It's my
constitutional right. I know what your constitutional rights are. I'm your
lawyer, remember?
Now I'm advising you not to testify. Either you put me on the stand or Brumby
will.
Agent McKenzie.
Did you visit Christopher Ragle at his hotel room on the night of the murder?
Yes, I did.
Why?
To reason with him one last time.
I've been expecting you.
Ain't exactly the roots, but I've been in worse.
You too, as I recall.
Remember the back room of that honky -tonk out of El Paso?
That morning, you swore you'd always love me.
Remember?
It was a long time ago, Chris.
You should have never walked out on me.
I didn't come here to fight with you.
I came to tell you goodbye.
If you want to ruin my career, go ahead. Personally, I think you'd be hurting
yourself, too.
The healthiest thing for you... Don't!
Tell me what's healthy for me. You don't have a right.
But then you better kill me now.
Because as long as I'm alive, you don't get to have a life. Not without me.
I'll find you wherever you go, sir.
I'll kill your men.
I'll kill your kids.
And I'll kill you.
And there's nothing you can do to stop me.
So you better shoot me now.
Counselor, no further questions, Your Honor.
Sir, I have one.
What happened next, Major?
Well,
that's a comforting thought.
Well, you don't seem very comforted.
I wish there was something more I could do for you.
They're in. Would you hold this?
Now I'm coming.
a shock in court yesterday, sir.
To say the least.
What's on your mind, Lieutenant?
Well, I couldn't talk about it before because it was privileged, but since
Colonel Farrow testified in this matter of record, I can talk about it now, sir.
Spit it out, bud.
Yes, sir.
The bag of money, sir. The one the police never found?
Yes, sir.
I was there when Colonel Farrow first told Commander Brumby about it.
That bag exists, sir. I know.
You know, sir?
I contacted FBI Special Agent Novak.
Colonel Farrow's savings account.
He withdrew $20 ,000 the day of the murder.
The money does exist.
The question is, where is it?
Somebody took it.
Somebody who was in Regal's room that night, but the only people who were
were the Major and Colonel Farrow.
And one other person.
I can get fired for this because owners don't like any trouble.
This ought to cover your risk.
Well, let's get some light on this subject.
Well, that's what we intend to do, George.
You know, the cops have been all over this place. So maybe if you guys could
tell me what you're looking for, maybe I could help you out.
I think you know what we're looking for.
No, I don't. You came up here that night after Christopher Regal was murdered
and you took something.
No. He's lying, sir. I believe you're right, Mr. Roberts.
Now, wait a minute.
I agreed to let you in, and that's all.
I don't have to answer your questions because you've got no authority over me.
Where's the money, George?
What money? What are you talking about? The $20 ,000.
You came up here before the police arrived, and you stole it. I never stole
nothing. I'm out of here.
George Led, 1983 possession, 84 breaking and entering, 87 petty theft, 93 more B
&E. You're a liar and a thief by profession, George.
Look, I paid my debt.
I've been clean for five years now.
Five years, huh?
Well, that's a long time.
So you think the owners know about his record?
Not all of them know.
What do you think they'd do if they found out?
Knowing how they hate trouble and all. Okay.
After the guy and the girl left, I came up here.
And I saw him leave the room.
Who? Oh, come on, man.
If he finds out, I told you, I'm a dead man.
Who, George?
The man who bugged me didn't waste any time getting here, did he?
I hope you don't mind that I called him, sir.
Officially, I am still his assistant.
That's how you are, bud.
Gentlemen.
Commander Reb, Lieutenant Roberts, Benny Turpin. Have a seat.
Quiet. And try to keep your voices down. People are trying to read.
We're not wearing a wire.
Mickey explains it to Vickerman, but I don't see how I can help him.
Vinnie admits you took the money.
It was my money.
He owed it to me. Why shouldn't I take it?
So you were... Shh.
Shh.
I'm sorry.
So you were there that night.
Yeah.
But I didn't kill Regal.
You know who did.
I can't get involved.
It's too much profile.
Will you understand?
We can't subpoena you, Vinnie.
I'll deny I was there. You can't prove it. But we can prove that you broke into
Major McKenzie's apartment.
It's a home invasion assault.
It's good for five to ten.
It's her word against mine.
Surveillance camera's in the hallway. Benny, we got a tape.
Please state your name and occupation.
Benny Turpin.
I'm in financial aid.
Mr. Turpin, were you at the Normandy Hotel in room 401 on the night of
27th? Yeah, I was there.
Did you see who murdered Christopher Regal, sir? Yeah.
Nobody.
Here's what happened.
I go into his room.
My boys are downstairs.
There's some things you handle yourself.
You sure?
The girl shows up.
Now, they start to talk about this and that.
She vowed she'd loved him, then she left him, so on and so forth.
Now, he's getting steamed.
Goodbye, Chris.
He grabs her. Don't.
That's pulling her towards the bed. Now, that's when I almost step out, because
I don't go for this stuff.
Then he pulls a gun. Then he better kill me.
As long as I'm alive, you don't get to have a life without me.
It was like he wanted her to shoot him. It was the weirdest thing I ever saw.
Well, then she throws the gun away.
That's when the cavalry showed up.
20 ,000.
Cash. He comes in with 20 grand.
My money.
If you bother Sarah again, I'm going to squash you like the cockroach you are.
You try to steal a man's wife, you try to buy him off, and you call me scum?
I've been wanting to do this ever since Okinawa.
And things heated up fast.
And they left.
That's when I grabbed my money and got out of there.
Is there any doubt in your mind, sir, that Christopher Regal intended to shoot
Colonel Farrell?
If she didn't grab the gun, he'd be dead by now.
Her, too, maybe.
It was self -defense, Your Honor.
Sir, there is insufficient evidence to sustain a conviction of murder.
Defense moves for fine, even not guilty.
I object, Your Honor. This man is a thug, a knee -breaking loan shark.
That may be.
But I've got no reason to come here and lie.
Are they paying you to testify?
No.
I'm paying them.
Your Honor, I'd like to introduce Defense Exhibit 4.
The $20 ,000 Mr. Turpin took from the hotel room.
He brought it to me this morning, sir.
Defense motion granted.
Case dismissed.
This court -martial is adjourned.
You lied to protect me.
That was stupid.
Almost as stupid as you lying to protect me.
Commander, try and keep her out of trouble.
I'll do my best, sir.
Thanks for believing in me.
I gotta admit, you had me going for a while there.
Yeah, but you stayed with me.
So what do you say to a celebration dinner?
On me?
I'm busy, yeah.
But thanks.
Too bad.
Mac?
Maybe.
I'll ring you up later.
Mac, the guy just tried to pin a murder on you.
You gonna have dinner with him?
Yeah, give him a chance to apologize.
you pick.
