:09:05
What would it be like
if he wasn't there anymore?
:09:11
Doesn't mean you did it on purpose.
:09:22
You figure if you got something on me,
then I'll just roll over?
:09:27
- Protect my reputation?
- No.
:09:30
Protect your life's work.
:09:33
The scumbags you put away will be back
on the street before you go on trial.
:09:39
With Hap gone, you're free and clear.
Why mess with that?
:09:46
Kay Connell. Remember her?
:09:50
It's your choice.
:09:54
Think of all the other Kay Connells.
:09:57
Do the math. You're a pragmatist.
You have to be because of your job.
:10:02
This isn't easy,
but I want you to understand...
:10:05
...we're in the same situation here.
:10:08
You didn't mean to kill Hap
any more than I meant to kill Kay.
:10:13
But that's hard for them to believe,
so that's why we need each other.
:10:19
We gotta find a patsy for the
Connell case and make it stick.
:10:24
Then you go back to Los Angeles
and I can go back to living my life.
:10:32
So, what do you need from me?
:10:37
What do they know about me?
:10:42
They found a signed copy of one
of your books at Kay's house.
:10:47
- So you'll be brought in for questioning.
- At the station?
:10:51
That's what they usually do.
:10:54
Brought in for questioning.
I can write that easily.
:10:58
Calm down. It's no big thing.
It's preliminary inquiry, so...
