if they were intimate.

I knew something
depraved was going on.

We stand here like this
in all our grief and fear

and a fucking whore
with our son gone,

at least in part

- Okay, well, why
not arrest her?

If she has more to tell,

there's no better
way to squeeze her.

- Not the whole building,

only the area
within her control.

- Well, what about if we
can show the magistrate

left the building?

rule out the back entrance.

- What are you doing, Avi?

Are... are you drawing
your little fish again?

- Please, Janine, I'm
trying to concentrate.

- Uh, yeah, so am I.

- Certainly, there must be

an episode of "Law &
Order" you can watch, huh?

- You know what?

[call ends]

[paper crumples]

- I do know what.

I know I hurt your
feelings is what.
