Luther Whitney
Luther, sir.
Walter Sullivan
Are you familiar with to get to my townhouse, Luther?
Luther Whitney
Oh yes, sir I know where all your houses are. I'm the man who robbed you. And you're the man who tried to kill me.
Walter Sullivan
I'm sorry I've missed. I believe in the Old Testament, sir. There's nothing wrong for an eye for an eye for when a terrible deed has been done. A deed such as yours.

Facing the Truth of a Dark Night
Luther Whitney
A lot of crap is coming down tonight, sir. Do you want to be a player, or not? Do you want to know what happened that night, or don't you? Because I was there.

Do you think you can, stand hearing about it, how he beat her, tried to strangle her, you want to really know about that?
Walter Sullivan
I could walk through the fire.
Luther Whitney
Well, I was in the vault when they came in, they were drunk. He started knocking her around, but she fought back, then he started getting really rough, she tried to defend herself, while he started screaming, like the sniveling SIMP HE IS.
Walter Sullivan
Who else was in my house?
Luther Whitney
The Secret Service, they're the ones who shot her.
Walter Sullivan
Nonsense!
Luther Whitney
And Gloria Russell she handled the cover up.
Walter Sullivan
STOP THIS!
Luther Whitney
Don't you want to know who it was?
Walter Sullivan
IT WAS YOU!
Luther Whitney
Oh come on Mr. Sullivan, we're too old to bullshit each other.
Walter Sullivan
WHO WAS IT THEN?

Wealth and Waiting in Uncertain Times
Walter Sullivan
I don't yet know who it is I'm after. Until I do, you'll have to wait in Washington for instructions.
Michael McCarty
I'm afraid that's out of the question. Mine is not particularly creative work, and I do it only because I enjoy living beyond my means. I can't afford to just sit around.
Walter Sullivan
My father died when I was nine years old. He was a miner. He died of lung disease. I became rich at twenty-five, and the first thing I did was to buy that mine, close it down, and give every miner fifty thousand dollars to retire on. You *will* wait in Washington, Mr. McCarty. You will choose a penthouse suite, and I will put one million dollars into a Swiss bank of your choosing. And when the time comes... two million dollars a bullet.
Michael McCarty
...You are a salesman, sir.
Walter Sullivan
Selling sin is easy.

Investigating a Calculated Criminal Strategy
Allen Richmond
What do we know, so far?
Gloria Russell
Well, we've checked his license plates. He stole the car from a police impoundment lot.
Allen Richmond
We're not dealing with a fool here, are we? Has he initiated contact?
Gloria Russell
Burton doesn't think he will.
Allen Richmond
I agree. I apologize for my behavior. It won't happen again. Consider it a blip on the screen. As far as I'm concerned that's all he is, too.
Gloria Russell
Well, he could be a little more than that, Allen. He saw.
Allen Richmond
He saw nothing. He saw a drunk woman who liked rough sex too much. He's a burglar. Who's gonna believe him? After all, it's not as if he has any evidence or anything.

What do I do?

Then what?
Tim Collin
Then I kill him.

Dr. Kevorkian, I presume? My guess is this is right in your carotid artery about now. You're gonna get a little woozy. But if I give you the rest of this, it's gonna fry your brain down to the size of a peanut! Drop that.
Tim Collin
Luther, he's my president, right or wrong.
[whispering]
Luther Whitney
Well, he made a mistake. *You* made a mistake. When you went after my little girl, that was entirely unacceptable.
Tim Collin
Mercy.
[pleading weakly]
Luther Whitney
I'm fresh out.
Kate Whitney
Daddy?
[starts waking up in hospital bed]
Luther Whitney
Go to sleep, darling.
[softly]

Struggles of Reputation and Responsibility
Walter Sullivan
For eighty years, I've tried to live... a decent life. I've given a billion dollars to charity. If this comes to trial... none of that will be remembered. I'll just go out... the joke of the world.
Seth Frank
I understand, sir. I'll do what I can.
Walter Sullivan
Will you listen to me whine? I apologize, Mr. Frank. Bother me all you want, just do your job. And I'll try to do mine.
[chuckles]

Questioning Inconsistencies in a Security Breach
Seth Frank
Why does he bother to dig a slug out of the wall when he knows there's already another one stuck in her head?
Laura Simon
Uh, different from the one in her body?
Seth Frank
Two guns means two burglars. They broke in together, they both went out the window? That's bullshit! And by the way, why did he, or they, go out the window in the first place when he, or they, got in by breaking a zillion-dollar security system?

My daughter wanted to see me.
Kate Whitney
But then you go to the police. That's what innocent people do. They go to the police.
Luther Whitney
Sure. And that young man who was just here, he'd believe me over the President, wouldn't he?
Kate Whitney
Well, why should I believe you?
Luther Whitney
Because I swear to you, Kate. I swear to you on Mattie's grave. Yeah, that's right. Your mother's grave, I'd kill myself before I lied about that.
