Today?
1:36:05
Her husband's funeral is today.
1:36:10
I don't care if today is
her mother's bar mitzvah.

1:36:14
Go to her. Now!
1:36:20
I hear you did some creative wiring
in the building.

1:36:24
You bugged
Caroline Heftshank's apartment.

1:36:27
In three minutes, I had what I needed.
1:36:30
It was more than a story.
I had the makings of a book.

1:36:33
A great book. A prize-winning effort.
1:36:36
All I needed was a finish.
1:36:38
-Do you have the tape upstairs?
-I got it.

1:36:41
I shipped off a present to McCoy's lawyer
and waited for the fireworks.

1:36:46
I don't feel terrifically sexy at the moment.
1:36:49
You know I'm a sucker
for a soft dick, Sherman.

1:36:52
You are incorrigible.
1:36:55
That is me! That's Maria!
Where did you get this?

1:36:58
Listen!
1:37:02
We could still go to the police.
We could get a talented lawyer.

1:37:06
And put our heads right
into the tiger's mouth?

1:37:09
I'm the one who was driving the car.
1:37:12
Shouldn't I be the one
to make that decision?

1:37:15
And I say no. I say no.
1:37:18
The apartment was wired?
It was bugged all that time?

1:37:22
Why?
1:37:23
Who knows?
1:37:24
Whoever sent this tape is either a fan
of yours or not a fan of Maria's.

1:37:29
Then we have this as evidence!
1:37:31
This tape is illegal. Totally illegal.
1:37:34
The guy who did this could go to jail.
1:37:37
If this were your tape, it'd be legal.
1:37:40
But it's not.
1:37:41
If it were my tape?
1:37:43
If you recorded your own conversation...
1:37:46
...it would be okay.
1:37:49
But this tape can't be used as evidence
in a court of law.

1:37:52
Then what good is it?
1:37:54
-It gave me an idea.
-What kind of idea?

1:37:56
About what you wear to the funeral.
1:37:59
What funeral?
