Thanks.
:23:08
What I told you about the story...
was it of any help?

:23:14
Yeah.
:23:21
- Maybe I'll see you one of these days.
- I'd like that.

:23:26
- It's not against the rules?
- I'd like it anyway.

:23:33
Michael...
I'd like it to be your idea.

:23:47
The candidate's
coming out of the closet?

:23:49
Come in, Elliott.
Get everybody down in the courtyard.

:23:54
You want my endorsement? I'm flattered.
:23:57
I'm terminating
the Gallagher investigation.

:24:00
- Like hell you are!
- Okay, let's call Washington.

:24:03
- And say what?
- You say whatever you want.

:24:07
I'm gonna say
you're running a bogus investigation -

:24:11
- and are trying to coerce a private
citizen into becoming a federal witness.

:24:15
You knew what I was doing.
:24:18
I should haVe stopped you then.
I'm going to stop you now.

:24:21
You want to join me in a statement?
:24:24
No thanks. They're your cards.
You play them.

:24:27
I have a Very short statement to read.
:24:30
The Organized Crime and Racketeering
Strike Force has recently completed -

:24:34
- an investigation of Michael Gallagher
regarding his possible inVolVement -

:24:38
- in the disappearance of Joseph Diaz
and has found no grounds -

:24:42
- to proceed against Mr Gallagher.
:24:45
Because this investigation was
inadVertently reported in the press, -

:24:49
- it is the feeling of this office that
it should acknowledge its conclusion.

:24:55
- I don't get it.
- Quinn blew the whistle on both of us.

:24:56
- I don't get it.
- Quinn blew the whistle on both of us.

:24:58
You went after the wrong guy.
I wrote about it.
