:12:14
Mr. Strack, I've been
:12:16
going over
some documents.
:12:17
I've come across
something
:12:18
that puzzles me.
:12:20
It's a memo
from your office
:12:22
to a Mr. Claude
Bellasarious.
:12:24
It details certain
payments that...
:12:27
Yes, I know the memo.
:12:29
It seems like
the payments were...
:12:31
were payoffs
to the Zoning Commission.
:12:34
Bribes, to call
a spade a spade.
:12:37
Does that shock you?
:12:38
No. I guessed as much.
:12:41
You weren't supposed
to know about it.
:12:42
That file was not
supposed to circulate.
:12:45
However, I am asking you
to understand.
:12:49
Take a look
at that model, Julie.
:12:52
That's the dream...
:12:53
acres of riverfront
reclaimed from decay,
:12:58
thousands of jobs
created.
:13:00
A building block,
a very large building block
:13:03
laid for the future.
:13:04
Not such a bad dream,
as dreams go.
:13:09
And if the price
of realizing that dream
:13:11
is the occasional
distasteful chore,
:13:14
well, I don't run away.
:13:17
I say so be it.
:13:20
So...
:13:23
want to book me?
:13:25
The fact remains
that I'm in possession
:13:28
of evidence of the
commission of a crime.
:13:30
Let me suggest this...
:13:32
you excuse yourself
for few minutes,
:13:33
go to the ladies room
leaving your briefcase here.
:13:37
What happens
to that memorandum
:13:38
while it's
in my custody
:13:40
is my responsibility.
:13:42
I wish it were
that simple,
:13:45
but I don't have
the memo with me.
:13:48
I'm trying to protect you.
:13:52
Does the name
Robert Durant
:13:55
mean anything to you?
:13:57
Drugs, racketeering...
