01:44Cash flow's a little tight right now.
01:46I asked some letter.
01:48There's a foreclosure notice.
01:50Where's the baby going to be called?
01:51Michael Richard Burns.
01:59Am I baptized you Michael Richard?
02:01What's an undercover cop make, Frank?
02:03You're looking at roughly 42K a year and some change.
02:07Plus, they give you $7,000 up front for what they call fringe pay.
02:11Fringe pay?
02:12Fringe pay?
02:14It's sort of an advance on your overtime.
02:17I want the $7,000.
02:19Sent to the third interstate mortgage company in Patterson.
02:22Attention, Richie and Celia's homeowner's account.
02:24After that, you got me.
02:26All right, Mikey.
02:28You're in.
02:30The Navy CH-57 Sea Warrior was on a routine training mission
02:35when it crashed in the early morning hours just south of Islip, Long Island.
02:39All four crew members were killed on impact.
02:42Oh, God.
02:43This is the third Sea Warrior crash since 1989.
02:47The Naval Safety investigators attributed the cause of those other two accidents to pilot error.
02:53No, that's not true.
02:55It's true.
02:55They're lying.
02:57You know they're lying.
02:58The names of the three enlisted crew members are being withheld, pending notification of next of kin.
03:03However, we have been able to ascertain the identity of the pilot, a 15-year Navy veteran.
03:09He's Captain Thomas Cudahy, 39, of Hicksville, Long Island.
03:14Cudahy was to have celebrated his 40th birthday next Monday.
03:18Reporting live from Islip, this is Jonathan Friedman, Link Center 3.
03:24Mama, what's wrong?
03:25Who's standing on me?
03:26Oh.
03:29He's, uh...
03:30He's...
03:32He's...
03:34He's...
03:35He's...
03:47He's...
03:48He's the toughest organized crime strike force since Ness put the screws to Capone.
03:52I'm impressed, Frank.
03:54But forgive me, you're no Robert Stack.
03:57Yeah, well, you're not exactly Rico or Youngblood yourself.
04:01Now, pay attention for the $5 briefing.
04:03La Casa Nostra, the Sicilian mob.
04:05We have eight major cities with high LCN activity, but they're just the tip of the iceberg.
04:10We're facing the Yakuza, Chinese tongs, Rastafarian crackheads,
04:16and biker mobs dealing methamphetamine ice.
04:19How soon is this gonna be over? I'm due for a root canal.
04:23Hey, sports shoes, you think I need this?
04:25Keep going, Frank.
04:27This is riveting.
04:28The point is, the local cops can't keep track of all this.
04:31That's where the OCB comes in.
04:33We have the backing of the bureau, not to mention the DEA, IRS, ATF, and customs.
04:38Now, you need a Lear in downtown Detroit at midnight, you pick up the phone, you got it.
04:42Hmm, just in case I ever wanna be in downtown Detroit at midnight.
04:46The point is, we have national jurisdiction.
04:49More importantly, we're insulated.
04:51Do you remember what it was like when you worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office?
04:54Phone calls from Washington, D.C., flack from local politicians?
04:58Well, we're different.
04:59We only answer to one man, the Attorney General himself.
05:02That's comforting.
05:04I remember when John Mitchell was the A.G.
05:06What was it that he served after Watergate, Lompoc, or Leavenworth?
05:09Listen, we take some heat once in a while, but for the most part, we carry our own bags.
05:14Fitting metaphor, Frank.
05:16It's time to pack up.
05:17Paul, what are you talking about?
05:19The OCB.
05:20It's finished.
05:23Speak English.
05:24Graham Rudman.
05:26Budget cuts.
05:28Stick your head up far enough in D.C.
05:30and guarantee there's a member of Congress standing behind you ready to cut off your head.
05:34So what are you saying?
05:35We've been decapitated.
05:38They're breaking us up.
05:40From here on out, the work of the OCB will be carried on locally in each of the U.S.
05:44Attorney's offices.
05:45Well, they can't do that.
05:47Yes, they can, and they have.
05:51I've got 14 years in, Paul.
05:53It's almost a third of my life.
05:54My marriage broke up.
05:55My son doesn't know who...
05:59I've given everything to this job.
06:02And you'll continue to do so.
06:04I've arranged for you to go to New York.
06:07Santana goes with you.
06:08The Southern District?
06:09That's the Chamber's office.
06:11It's also the strongest U.S. Attorney's seat in the country.
06:15Wall Street, Little Italy, Chinatown, all cheap to jowl.
06:19They've got the jurisdiction and they've got the juice.
06:22It's the best I can do.
06:24What about lifeguard?
06:25Well, we've still got men in the field, Frank,
06:28so naturally the controllers that handle our undercover agents will have to stay in place.
06:33Requiesce content pacha.
06:36May the OCB rest in peace.
06:39So much for the untouchables, huh, Frank?
06:46Mmm, this one's great.
06:48Men who eat mushu pork with MSG wake up with migraine.
06:54It's not when I said that.
06:55I swear.
06:56I want to see that.
06:57I want to see that.
07:06Okay, you read yours.
07:07Okay.
07:11When you find life's true love, keep it.
07:15Happiness is perishable.
07:18Hmm.
07:22So is it true that you're going to be living in New York now?
07:27Like the song says, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
07:31All you have to do is live in a high security building.
07:33Don't go out after eight.
07:35And never run in the park without air cover.
07:42Something wrong?
07:47What is it?
07:52I've been offered a job in Los Angeles.
07:55Big corporate law firm, Brandt, Klein & Bach.
07:58Did you take it?
07:59Not yet.
08:01I have to let them know Monday.
08:03What's wrong with your mother's firm?
08:07It's top shelf.
08:08Your father always dreamed of you practicing there.
08:12Besides, it's ten blocks away instead of 3,000 miles.
08:15If you think that you and McPike lock horns,
08:18you haven't seen mother and me in action.
08:20All right, admit it.
08:21What's her real problem?
08:22That I'm Cuban?
08:23Gentile?
08:25Or disbarred?
08:26Two and three.
08:29I'll get readmitted.
08:32I'll convert.
08:35Hmm?
08:38Look, the point is,
08:40your mother's out of town.
08:41We're together now.
08:43And we have this whole apartment to ourselves.
08:46Michael, I can't now.
08:50Want to know what my fortune really said?
08:54Life is short.
08:57You will never have this moment again.
09:01Seize the day.
09:09Of my own house.
09:24I will never have this moment again.
09:24Of ourjulet.
09:25I don't know what's second door.
09:26I love it.
09:27I love it.
09:31I love it.
09:32I love it.
09:34I love it.
09:35I love it.
09:36I love it.
09:36I love it.
09:37I love it.

10:25Mother!
10:29Um, we were just discussing the wedding, Mrs. Stein.
10:32We figured a short non-denominational ceremony,
10:35followed by a sit-down dinner for 50, a tablet on the green.
10:37The windchill factor will be 40 below in hell before that happens.
10:42Now get your clothes on and get out of here.
10:45Oh, and all I'd say, the first meeting was pretty impressive.
10:48What do you think?
10:50I know.
10:57You wanted to see me?
10:58Oh, good.
10:59You're dressed.
11:02If you called me in here to embarrass me, you've succeeded.
11:05Wait.
11:07How would you feel if you came home after two hard weeks
11:10and found your daughter lying on the floor in flagrante delecto?
11:13It is just like you, Mother, reducing everything to a legal term of art.
11:17All right.
11:19Truth?
11:24When are you leaving for Los Angeles?
11:27Well, I'm not sure I'm going now.
11:29I don't see why I should have to travel all the way across the country
11:32to work when the family business is here.
11:34There's a very simple explanation, darling.
11:36There's no Michael Santana in area code 213.
11:39Stay out of my personal life, Mother.
11:41All right.
11:42How about this?
11:43I don't want my law firm coming under public scrutiny
11:46because of your association with this...
11:50this...
11:50man.
11:51Your law firm?
11:52It was also my father's.
11:53A man who taught you how lucky you are
11:56to be living in a country that was ruled by a government of laws,
11:59not of men.
12:00What does that have to do with this?
12:02Principle.
12:02Ethics.
12:03A code your father lived by.
12:06He'd be crushed to see you shacking up
12:08with this unindicted co-conspirator.
12:12You know, Mother,
12:12L.A. is looking better and better every minute.
12:30Mrs. Stein?
12:32No, that's my mother.
12:33I'm Hillary Stein.
12:34Oh.
12:36We were told that this is the best negligence law firm in New York.
12:39Yep, one of them.
12:41It's very difficult getting in to see your mother.
12:44Her secretary told us that
12:45we might not be able to get an appointment for a month.
12:47We can't wait that long.
12:49We need somebody to see us today.
12:51Well, what's the problem?
12:52Maybe I can help.
12:53Are you a lawyer?
12:55As of about a minute ago, I was, yeah.
13:00All of your husbands died in helicopter crashes.
13:03The CH-57 Sea Warrior.
13:05And in each of these crashes,
13:06the same explanation was given?
13:08Pilot error?
13:09My husband, Tom, flew dust-offs in Vietnam.
13:11Two tours.
13:13He knew what he was doing.
13:15Sue, tell her about, you know.
13:17One night, about a year and a half ago,
13:19all of us went out for dinner together.
13:21And the men were complaining
13:22about the helicopter rotor systems.
13:25They felt that they might not be safe.
13:27About a week later,
13:28my husband's chopper went down.
13:30Six months later, mine died.
13:32I tried calling the helicopter manufacturer,
13:35the Navy, whoever would listen.
13:38Then, one night, the phone rang.
13:40It was very late.
13:42It was just a voice.
13:43He said, back off.
13:45Any idea who it was?
13:47No.
13:48We are sure that there's a cover-up going on here.
13:51We just don't know who's behind it.
13:53What I can do is refer you to one of the partners.
13:56Look, that's all that we've been getting.
13:59The referrals.
14:00The Navy, their military investigators,
14:03one law firm after another.
14:05Our children want answers.
14:07They need to know why their fathers died.
14:08And so do we.
14:12Do you have any idea
14:15what it's like growing up without a father, Miss Stein?
14:21Yes.
14:22As a matter of fact, I do.
14:24My father passed away when I was in the sixth grade.
14:28Then help us.
14:30Please.
14:51How's the investigation going?
14:54No comment.
14:57It's all right.
14:57I'm not a reporter.
14:59Of course not.
15:00You're a P.I. attorney here to pick through the bones, right?
15:03That's right.
15:04I'm here investigating for the families of the men who died in this crash.
15:08Not to mention the other families.
15:10What other families?
15:12Oh, come on.
15:13You know how many sea warriors went down?
15:15Pilot error.
15:16Oh, that is like saying a car accident
15:18was caused by the driver losing control.
15:21There's an old saying among safety investigators.
15:24Which is?
15:24When you can't pinpoint the exact cause,
15:27there's always pilot error.
15:29Found the fuel pump, Carl.
15:30Okay, Ted.
15:31Tag it and bag it.
15:32I'll be with you in a sec.
15:33Look, can't you give me something,
15:35anything to tell my clients?
15:37Off the record?
15:37Yeah.
15:39The rotor assembly looks like it might have come apart in flight.
15:42It could be the pilot didn't maintain adequate RPMs.
15:45It's hard to tell when all you've got to sift through
15:47is ten tons of metal.
15:49Hey, you!
15:50What the hell are you doing to me?
15:51Get away from that rotor!
15:52Who's that?
15:53I thought he was with you.
16:10That bastard talks this time he's a dead man.
16:15Don't lose him.
16:16Let's roll.
16:32Hey, can I help you?
16:33Yeah, what do you have with its diet?
16:35You want something good?
16:36Try my black Russian with Slim Fast.
16:38Yeah, why don't you just give me a diet ginger ale?
16:45Do you mind if I sit down?
16:47Public place, you want to sit, sit.
16:48No need to ask me for permission.
16:50I saw you at the crash back there.
16:53I've been retained by the wives of the pilots
16:55who died in the Sea Warrior crashes.
16:58I'll catch you tomorrow, Chuck.
17:00Wait, don't leave.
17:01I saw you looking at the rotor blades back there.
17:03I was just looking, that's all.
17:04I don't remember at what.
17:05The wives of those pilots remember their husbands
17:07talking about faulty rotor systems on the helicopters.
17:10I thought you might know something.
17:12I don't.
17:13Listen, the men who died in those crashes
17:15had families, children to come home to.
17:17Yeah, jobs to keep and mortgages to pay.
17:19Not anymore they don't.
17:28Over there.
17:33Can I get you something?
17:34It was gin, wasn't it?
17:35Club soda, but no thanks.
17:37I don't drink the hard stuff anymore.
17:40I'm Daryl Jenkins.
17:42I'm Hillary Stein.
17:43I'm a parts manager down at Arrow Point.
17:47Aircraft parts manufacturer down the road.
17:49We supply the spares for those Sea Warriors.
17:52Pilot air, huh?
17:54You don't sound convinced.
17:56Why should I be?
17:57I can tell you straight out.
17:58Those choppers went down
18:00because of substandard 3-8-inch fastener bolts.
18:03Fastener bolts?
18:04Yeah.
18:05Supposed to hold up the rotor system.
18:07An Arrow Point distributes those parts.
18:10Distributes?
18:11Lady, we make the damn things.
18:14Let me tell you, they're crap.
18:16You mean they're substandard?
18:18I mean, counterfeit bogus.
18:20We even make them with the original serial numbers
18:22from the manufacturer's arm.
18:23Who's behind us?
18:25Jack Bishop.
18:26He owns the company.
18:28Brags about how they're better than the real things.
18:31About how their bolts are supposed to withstand
18:33high-velocity friction.
18:34The damn things melt in a microwave.
18:36And you're sure about this?
18:40When that first chopper went down,
18:42I figured it was just an accident.
18:45Then the second chopper crashed.
18:47I got suspicious,
18:48so I checked the sales invoices to the Navy.
18:51But I still wasn't sure.
18:54And then, last week,
18:55when those guys bought the phone,
18:57that's what I knew.
18:58Late night tonight, no janky.
19:03Hello, Mr. B.
19:05I was just discussing some insurance plans.
19:08I've got to go.
19:10My home number's on the back.
19:11Why don't you give me a call
19:12when you decide whether you want
19:13the whole life or the term?
19:16Mr. B.?
19:18That's a good idea.
19:20What is?
19:21Him getting insurance.
19:22I'll take you.
19:25Excuse me.
19:29What are you talking about?
19:30I got the order right here.
19:32Dozen copper O-rings
19:34for the C-130 blade housings at...
19:36two bills apiece.
19:39Where are you gonna find them cheaper?
19:43Taiwan!
19:45You son...
19:46Fine.
19:48Go ahead.
19:50Try them.
19:56See if the blades don't fall off.
20:01Beltway bandits.
20:03You know, it's wingtip bozos like him
20:05that make this world a sewer it is, Axel,
20:07not God.
20:09Not fate, not manifest destiny.
20:12Just...
20:12people.
20:21I ought to take this,
20:22stick it under his chin,
20:23watch him squirm, huh?
20:35Any word on our boy?
20:36I checked out the registration
20:38on the chick's car.
20:39It's leased
20:39to, uh,
20:40Murphy, Cooper, and Stein
20:42law firm.
20:44They've got a whole floor
20:45in a Chrysler building.
20:46Find out what business
20:47she's got with Daryl.
20:49I'm not supposed to do that.
20:50What are you asking me for?
20:52Call Lee Iacocca.
20:53Just do it.
21:23I'm not supposed to do it.
21:33Michael, you didn't have to call me.
21:35I got home all right.
21:36Mr. Stein.
21:38Yes?
21:39It's Daryl Jenkins.
21:40Did you see it?
21:40See what?
21:41The coves.
21:42It's on now.
21:43What's on?
21:45Another one.
21:52Again, recapping this
21:53hour's top story,
21:55the second Navy Sea Warrior
21:56in the past four days
21:57has crashed off
21:58Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
21:59All four crew members
22:01are reported missing
22:01and we'll have crash footage
22:03just as soon as it's available.
22:05In other news,
22:06President Bush...
22:09Four crashes
22:10within the last year and a half.
22:12Twenty-one people are dead
22:13and we can put together
22:14a class action suit
22:16with upwards of 20 plaintiffs.
22:18Who manufactures
22:19these helicopters, Hillary?
22:20Englehart Strong.
22:21They're in Pomona, California.
22:22Very nice.
22:23Dun & Bradstreet
22:24gives them four stars.
22:26They're a top 50
22:26Fortune 500 company.
22:28Two billion dollars
22:29in assets.
22:31With 20 plaintiffs,
22:32damages could easily climb
22:33under the hundreds of millions.
22:34Well, we wouldn't be suing
22:35the manufacturers, Mr. Murphy.
22:36What?
22:37Liability clearly lies
22:39with Aero Point,
22:40the parts maker.
22:41How deep is the pocket?
22:42I haven't checked.
22:44You should.
22:47I took the liberty
22:48of pulling Aero Point's DMV.
22:50Their assets after debt
22:52are in the neighborhood
22:52of three million two.
22:54Pretty poor neighborhood,
22:55if you ask me.
22:56I'm sure they're indemnified
22:57way beyond that.
22:57That's if they don't go
22:58chapter 11.
22:59Why should they?
23:00Their return on investment
23:01last year was 18%.
23:02If we go after Aero Point,
23:04I'm convinced they'll fold.
23:05She may be right, Hillary.
23:07We'll bill your time
23:08at, say, $400 an hour.
23:10Let's say the trial's
23:11two years off.
23:13Figure appeals.
23:14Even if you're successful,
23:15we could end up with
23:16seven or eight hundred
23:17thousand in billables.
23:18How do we recover that
23:20if Aero Point goes belly up?
23:21Since when is this
23:22just about money?
23:24Excuse me?
23:26Well, the wives
23:26of these pilots,
23:27they want compensation, sure,
23:28but they also want justice.
23:30Forgive me, darling,
23:31but in negligence suits,
23:32compensation is justice.
23:34I sincerely doubt
23:35your Mrs. Cudahy
23:36would be content
23:37with an $800
23:38a month Navy pension.
23:40This is not
23:41a pro bono firm, Hillary.
23:43We have our own debt
23:43to consider.
23:45Mother?
23:47I'm sorry, darling.
23:49But in this case,
23:50I'm afraid I'll have
23:51to support my partners.
23:53Terrific.
23:56The next time Susan Cudahy
23:57wants a lecture on ethics
23:59and principle,
24:00I'll be sure
24:01and give her your number.
24:10Woo!
24:12Woo!
24:13Woo!
24:16Okay.
24:55The Wise Guy will continue.
25:08I don't have to tell you all how good this office has been in the past.
25:11The Pizza Connection, the Drexel Burnham Insider Trading Case.
25:15That's when Giuliani was in charge.
25:17We've gutted the five families.
25:19We've sent shockwaves through Wall Street.
25:21Quite frankly, the Southern District U.S. Attorney's Office has been a bastion
25:24against all lesser men who think that freedom is a license to print money.
25:29What the hell's he running for?
25:30Today I am proud to announce that the best just got better.
25:34The Chief Investigator for the Justice Department's Organized Crime Bureau,
25:38Frank McPike, will be joining forces with us to head up a special organized crime unit.
25:42So much for my future and undercover work.
25:45And please don't be put off by his dour demeanor.
25:47I can assure you that faced with a wanted felon, the man is a killer.
25:50They let me out for good behavior.
25:52How about a few words for the Fourth Estate?
25:54Agent McPike.
26:02Uh, I was never really very much with words.
26:05I'm, uh, I'm Irish, you see.
26:10Well, I, I don't know.
26:11What can I say?
26:12Uh, I've worked with Mr. Chambers for several weeks.
26:16Now, I can tell you unequivocally that he is as good a prosecutor as he can possibly be.
26:22And why not?
26:23His father's one of the best senators money can buy.
26:27No, I'm just, I, I, it was, uh, it was.
26:41What the hell was that?
26:43Well, that, I think, was called the Dog and Pony Show.
26:46See, you were the pony, I was the dog.
26:48Hey, look, McPike, I only took you on as a favor to the AG.
26:51Now, I want you in my office in five, or I swear you will be working out of the FBI
26:55office in Guam.
27:05Oh, you know, it's just one of the many things I've always hated about New York.
27:10What's that?
27:11The coffee.
27:11There must be a thousand coffee shops in New York, and they're all run by these Greeks.
27:16They all brewed his terrific job.
27:18It comes in these little blue cups with pictures of the Parthenon on the side.
27:21What's wrong with that?
27:21Well, so what's wrong with that is that everybody orders out, therefore the in-house coffee tastes like toxic waste.
27:27Oh, Michael, in Washington, D.C., the office coffee machine is a thing of reverence, a vessel from the finest
27:34from Juan Valdez.
27:35The milk's always fresh, and powdered creamer, a powdered creamer is considered verboten.
27:41Oh, sure, laugh.
27:42Let me tell you something.
27:43The 10.30 coffee break is an institution.
27:46It's a birthright.
27:48Well, with coffee like this, the first day on the job, I know it.
27:52I'm gonna hate it.
27:58Well, look at this.
27:59Yeah.
28:00Nameplates with Velcro on the back.
28:03Symbolic of what they think of our tenure here.
28:09Let me explain the pecking order here, Santana.
28:12I am the top guy, and everyone else isn't.
28:17You said you had some cases from the OCB for me.
28:19What have you got?
28:20Nothing right now, Wynn.
28:21It's all a little premature.
28:24Well, then why don't I just approve your transfer and cut my losses on this thing right now?
28:30And lose Special Agent Frank McPike and the Wonder Dog Santana?
28:35Now, what would your friends on Eyewitness News say?
28:41Miss Hillary Stein is here.
28:43She says she has a case for you.
28:50I still don't understand why Aero Point would manufacture these substandard bolts.
28:55What kind of car do you drive, Mr. Chambers?
28:58Porsche.
28:59911 Turbo Targo.
29:00Why?
29:01What's the list price?
29:03$100,000.
29:04Well, what does that have to do with it?
29:05You know why they steal so many Porsches?
29:08People like to drive fast.
29:09No.
29:10It's because of the parts.
29:11They want the parts.
29:13Soon as one of those targets gets ripped, they break it down.
29:17That's because the sum of the parts is worth more than the sticker price.
29:20$130,000, $140,000.
29:22It's the same thing with aircraft parts.
29:25You see this boat?
29:26It's titanium.
29:28It was made by the original manufacturer, Englehart Aircraft.
29:32It was designed to hold for 50,000 air miles.
29:35You see the serial number on it?
29:37Yeah.
29:37Englehart listed for $25.
29:41Now, see this?
29:43Looks the same, right?
29:45Mm-hmm.
29:45Only the metal's different.
29:47Steel versus titanium.
29:49This one was made by Aero Point.
29:52Bishop sells them for half price, and I guarantee you, they'll rupture at 5,000 air miles.
29:57So why don't more choppers go down?
29:59They do more than you think.
30:00Only it's not just choppers.
30:02Aero Point supplies parts for fixed wing as well.
30:05All four branches of the surface.
30:08So what do you say, Winnie?
30:10This case big enough for you?
30:13First thing we have to do is have these bolts tested to confirm this man's story.
30:17I've already done that.
30:18Test results from the lab.
30:19All confirmed.
30:21Well, then it seems to me that we need, um, copies of Aero Point's invoices.
30:25They're customer lists.
30:27We need to know who these bogus parts have been sold to.
30:29There may be thousands of planes still up there in danger.
30:32Yeah.
30:32Yeah, that's good.
30:34Can you get those for us?
30:35Uh, I don't know if...
30:37Here, why don't you just draw up warrants?
30:38This man's done enough for us.
30:41Would you excuse us for a minute, Mr. Jenkins?
30:43Yeah, sure.
30:45I'll be right in here.
30:53He has already told us himself that Bishop is wary.
30:55Now, he is an employee.
30:56He has access to the data.
30:58Why don't you let me try to get in, huh?
31:00I can pose as a buyer.
31:01Get next to Bishop.
31:02There's no time.
31:03So what's the hurry, Winnie?
31:04The election's now for six months.
31:07I am sick of this lip.
31:09Look, with a box of bolts, we have nothing.
31:11If this guy really wants to help us out,
31:12he's just gonna have to make one more trip.
31:14That's absurd.
31:14I don't like it.
31:15The man's a civilian, Chambers.
31:17He's the only man who's gonna make the case for us.
31:19And what do you have us here for?
31:20Why don't you just let us do our job?
31:21Oh, okay.
31:22Your job right now is to sit down, shut up, and listen.
31:27Mr. Jenkins?
31:36So?
31:37What do you say, Mr. Jenkins?
31:38Are you up to it?
31:39Look, I brought the bolts.
31:40I don't see why I gotta...
31:41We have to stop this man, Bishop.
31:43There's no telling how many of our servicemen may still be in danger.
31:46You can help us.
31:47Now, if you bring me that customer list, I will indict.
31:50That's a promise.
32:13He should be just getting out of Bishop's office by now.
32:16On his way here.
32:18I told you we should have gone with him, Frank.
32:23Uncle, what do you got for us?
32:24Yeah, I got a profile on Bishop.
32:26A regular four-star patriot, this one.
32:29Who's this?
32:30Remember I told you I had an Uncle Bill?
32:33I didn't know you and McPike were related.
32:35Go on, hit us.
32:36Former supply sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division.
32:39Now, he re-upped for another touring country, but he spent it in Leavenworth.
32:44How come?
32:45Well, they nailed him to trade in black market pineapples.
32:48English, Uncle.
32:49He was selling hand grenades out of the back of the magazine at Tonsignan.
32:53Now, the word was that Viet Cong were his biggest customer.
32:56He was in for ten, but he only did a nickel.
33:00Seems that he found his redeemer in prison, and he cut short his term by five years.
33:06Now, the next thing you know, this guy shows up as a consultant to the DOD.
33:10He got fat on the Reagan buildup and then got blown out the back door during that procurement scandal back
33:15in 87.
33:16Somehow, along the way, he got enough cash to buy into Aero Point.
33:20Looks like they were doing really well until Gorbachev pulled the curtain.
33:23Then the gravy train stopped.
33:25That's it?
33:26Yeah, except that his parole officer wasn't fooled by the old-time religion.
33:30It says here he's a borderline sociopath.
33:33You color him dangerous.
33:35Thank you, Uncle.
35:26Daryl didn't drink.
35:28I'm just telling you what forensics said when they hit the scene.
35:30They found a half-empty bottle of gin on the floor of the car.
35:33Dammit, we had the bolts.
35:34But Daryl's testimony, it might have been enough to nail Bishop.
35:37Hey, take some advice from an expert.
35:39Don't second-guess yourself.
35:40You never should have asked him to take those records.
35:42Well, we all know who asked him.
35:43Besides, Daryl made his own decision.
35:45It's like we gave him a lot of choice.
35:46Well, pretty soon you'll be the one who forced him off the road, Hillary.
35:49I have every right to feel responsible.
35:51Not just to Daryl, but to Susan Cudahy and all those other women who put their faith in me.
35:55I made him a promise, I made him a promise, and I failed them.
35:58None of this is going to help us get Bishop.
36:00Are you serious?
36:02It's over with Bishop.
36:03Ten to one, he's had a shredding machine running all night.
36:05A search warrant would be useless to us right now.
36:08She's right, Michael.
36:10Wait a minute.
36:11Who's your contact at DEA?
36:13Ray Vieira.
36:13Why?
36:14I want you to call him.
36:16Find out they've seized any aircraft from the Medellin cartel in the past few weeks.
36:19What the hell for?
36:21I'll tell you later.
36:23What are you doing?
36:33Hello.
36:34Yeah, Pop.
36:37Yes, son, what's going on?
36:38How is the job going?
36:40Yeah, the job's good.
36:41Frank McPike's being a pain in the butt, but what else is new?
36:44Look, I have a question for you.
36:46All those years you were servicing Guzman's planes for Aerolib.
36:49Did you ever buy parts from a company called Aeropoint?
36:52Aeropoint?
36:53Absolutely.
36:54You did?
36:55All right.
36:57Now, look, I need something.
36:59Are you ready?
37:00Please, take this down.
37:02Con papel y pluma.
37:04I need some information.
37:20This is stunt work, Santana.
37:22I hate hot doggy.
37:23Do you have any better ideas?
37:25Not at the moment.
37:27The fax come in from my father.
37:28Yeah.
37:29You got the search warrant?
37:30Right here.
37:31You need anything else?
37:32Just the fax, man.
37:34Only the fax.
37:39Five minutes, then you hit the ground running.
37:41You be careful, Michael.
37:48Who the hell are you?
37:50Frosty the snowman.
37:54Miguel Santana.
37:55Recognize the company name?
37:57Aerolib?
37:57Yeah.
37:58Belonged to Amado Guzman before he stepped off from the money laundering deal.
38:03Well, after Senor Guzman was forced to step down, he handed the airline over to me.
38:08I'm sure you're headed someplace with all of this.
38:11Last year, my company bought 300K worth of parts from this chop shop you run.
38:15You and a thousand other people.
38:17Yeah.
38:18Well, the difference is, I lease my aircraft to some influential clients.
38:22Men whose business it is to move certain pharmaceuticals around the Caribbean basin.
38:28Got it?
38:29Get Axel in here.
38:33Two weeks ago, one of my turbojets did a nosedive off Bermuda.
38:39They spilled 40,000 pounds of living marching powder into St. George's Reef.
38:45What's that got to do with me?
38:46The fuel pump I ordered from this skunk works of yours was supposed to have stainless steel pistons.
38:53You sold me a chrome plate.
38:58Now, my clients are listening to some ugly rumors.
39:03Some people are saying that I ditched the plane intentionally.
39:06That I'm doing Boy Scout work for the feds to beat prison.
39:13What the hell do you want with me, man?
39:15Something you're not used to selling.
39:17The truth.
39:18You see, I deal in surplus, too.
39:23What are you talking about?
39:25I want your custom in this.
39:28I need to show my brothers in Bogota where the bogus parts have come from.
39:33I can't do that.
39:34No?
39:36You're crazy.
39:42What's that in his hand, boss?
39:43You fool.
39:44Put the gun down!
39:45Do you have any idea what a room looks like after a percussion grenade goes off?
39:51You let go.
39:52You died, too.
39:54A gentler fate, but the one my Colombian brothers have in store for me.
39:59Now you decide.
40:01All right.
40:03Give him the disc.
40:04But, boss, after all we did to get this to him...
40:06Give it to him!
40:15The item of Dumbo!
40:17That, Bishop, we have a warrant for your arrest.
40:20Oh, look who we have here.
40:22Michael Santana of Drugs or Us.
40:24Cuff them both.
40:28Okay.
40:29Once more for the record, you say you never met Daryl Jenkins.
40:35That's right.
40:38You've been at Airpoint for, what, five years?
40:41Yeah.
40:43Five years.
40:44Five years with a company that has less than 75 employees, and you never laid eyes on the guy.
40:49Hey, look.
40:51I'm not that good with faces.
40:53All right?
40:54Mr. McPike, if you're quite finished, my client's been over this at least half a dozen times.
40:58Half a dozen times.
40:59At least.
41:06All right, I'll tell you what.
41:08I'll change my line of questioning.
41:09Axel, you smoke?
41:10Do I smoke?
41:12What's that got to do with?
41:14Listen, I know it's a filthy habit, but it's not yet a capital crime.
41:17You just answer it.
41:18Do you smoke?
41:19I don't, but my...
41:21But your boss does?
41:23I don't know.
41:25To Axel, for five years of loyal service.
41:28Best, Jack Bishop.
41:33I'm sorry, Mr. Chambers, but I'm afraid you've failed to establish any proximate cause
41:38between the alleged defective bolts and the Sea Warrior crashes.
41:42I'll allow for the fraud counts.
41:43But I'm afraid you haven't a case for manslaughter here.
41:46No, that can't be.
41:48With all due respect, Your Honor, we would argue that the issue of proximate cause is one of fact for
41:53a jury to decide.
41:54The ruling stands, Mr. Chambers.
41:57Bail will be set at $100,000.
41:58Oh, that's outrageous!
42:00Has that man killed our husbands and you're letting him go?
42:04I'll have to ask you to be quiet, ma'am.
42:07Now, this may seem like an injustice to you,
42:09but right now all the government's been able to prove is that Mr. Bishop may be guilty of a white
42:14-collar crime.
42:15So much for your justice.
42:23We have a confession.
42:26Your Honor, the FBI has just developed some important new evidence linking Mr. Bishop to the murder of one of
42:32his employees.
42:33Front and center, gentlemen.
42:38What the hell is this about?
42:40It's about homicide, Your Honor.
42:41We believe this man was murdered.
42:44He was on his way to meet federal investigators.
42:45He had evidence against the defendant.
42:48Mr. Bishop was aware of the death, Your Honor, an alcohol-related traffic death.
42:51He sent money and flowers to the victim's family.
42:54And he also sent the man who killed him.
42:56This lighter was found in the burnt-out wreck along with the victim's body.
43:01You can just make out the inscription.
43:02Just circumstantial.
43:03Yeah, except we got a witness.
43:06The government calls Axel Witt now.
43:14Shut up!
43:15All right, quiet!
43:17I said quiet.
43:19This court now is probable cause to believe that the defendant may be implicated in a conspiracy involving intent to
43:25kill murder.
43:26We order him bound over to the grand jury and held without bail.
43:30We stand in recess.
43:44I just want you to know that my husband died in that crash two weeks ago.
43:49These are his children.
43:51I didn't have anything to do.
43:53No!
43:54You're going to listen to me, and you're going to listen good.
43:58Thomas Brian Cudahy strapped himself into that helicopter to serve and protect people like you.
44:04And you let him die.
44:06You let the husbands of those other women die, too.
44:09And for what?
44:11For a few dollars' profit.
44:15What was it worth to you, Bishop?
44:17Huh?
44:19What was it worth?
44:21What?
44:27What?
44:46Congratulations.
44:48You know, it's funny.
44:49If I hadn't been in your office that day, I never would have had this chance.
44:51I wanted to talk to you about the other day.
44:55I made a mistake, darling.
44:57You were in a difficult position.
44:58No.
44:59I put my responsibility to the firm before my responsibility to the law.
45:04I was wrong.
45:07It's all right, Mother.
45:08I understand.
45:10I wish your father could have seen what happened in that court today.
45:14I know.
45:15Me, too.
45:21Just don't get hurt.
45:24If only we had laws to protect us from ourselves.
45:29Mom.
45:37U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District.
45:39May I help you?
45:41One moment, please.
45:45U.S. Attorney's Office.
45:46Oh, Miss Stein.
45:47May I help you?
45:48Did you, uh, see page one of this morning's times?
45:52Yeah, yeah.
45:53It looks like that snowstorm from Canada's really on its way here, huh?
45:57The right column.
45:58The relevant stuff.
46:00Quote.
46:01The arrest of Jack Bishop could have far-reaching repercussions.
46:04U.S. Attorney Winston Chambers believes that Mr. Bishop is just one of dozens of counterfeit
46:09parts dealers nationwide.
46:10He called on Congress to...
46:11Stop blubbering.
46:12Just ask her.
46:14Ask me what?
46:15Well, Hillary, it's obvious that you and Frank made this case.
46:19Yes.
46:20Um, with some assistance from Zorro here.
46:24Anyway, Hillary, I would be a fool to let you get away.
46:27Top flight criminal prosecutors are very hard to come by.
46:30And, um, you've already had five years' experience with the Justice Department.
46:33Spit it out, man.
46:36I'd like you to join the team.
46:40Yes.
46:41Yeah, all right, I'm in.
46:42Wonderful, wonderful.
46:44When do I get to meet Uncle Bill?
46:46Due time, Miss Stein. Due time. Congratulations.
46:50And, um, I realize that you and I got off to a shaky start.
46:54I'd just like to let you know that as far as I'm concerned, you're here to stay.
46:58Thanks for waiting. Coming from you, it's a real comfort.
47:28I'm coming from you, it's a real instinct.
