- 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.

:25:03
- What the hell's going on?
- Good question. You should join the FBI.

:25:07
- I don't know either.
- It doesn't make any sense.

:25:11
- You got any ideas?
- Sure. Early retirement.

:25:15
I got a couple.
I want 24-hour surveillance on Gallagher.

:25:19
I want taps on Gallagher's warehouse,
Gallagher at home, Quinn's house.

:25:25
Wait a minute. Where are we gonna
find a judge who'll let us tap Quinn?

:25:30
I'm not gonna ask a judge.
:25:32
- It's no good in court.
- I'm not in court. Not yet.

:25:40
You really think Gallagher bought him?
:25:42
I don't know.
Do you think he's for sale?

:25:56
- Mr Gallagher?
- Yeah?

:25:58
