Compliance Page #3

I'm gonna need you

to keep her there.

Me and my marked units

are gonna come in soon.

Till then, can I count on you

to assist the authorities?

Um, yes, of course.

Whatever you--

Whatever you need.

She's been a good person

here at the restaurant.

SANDRA:
I--You're sure about this?

Are we sure about this?

I have the victim here with me.

Why, you think she's innocent?

We just never had any trouble

with her before. That's all.

Right, but, I mean,

doesn't it make sense

that if she was doing

something wrong, that...

she wouldn't want you to know,

that she'd--

I don't know--hide it from you?

Yeah, I guess.

Right.

Yeah.

Well, look, I hear a little...

hesitation in your voice, Sandra?

- No, no. I'm, you know--

- It's okay, you know?

I'm just trying to do the right--

- Yeah, it's fine.

- What I'm--Yeah.

Look, Sandra, I'm the police officer.

I'm the one who's gotta take the hit.

SANDRA:
Yes.

I want you to know that as an officer,

the officer in this case,

I have to take the full,

final responsibility for this,

- and I take that very seriously, okay?

- Right. Right. Yes.

And I have your regional manager,

Robert Gilmour, on the other line.

- Right.

- We need to act now.

- Okay.

- Your responsibility

is to facilitate that action,

so I--I don't even...

You know, it's your job.

You understand?

Yes. Yes, I do,

and I'll do everything, you know,

that you need.

All right. Can you put Becky

on for me, please?

Sure.

Wants to talk to you.

Hello, Officer.

All right, I need you to shoot me straight

and just explain this whole situation to me.

I have no idea what happened.

I don't know what's going on.

I was working.

I was up front. I was wor--

You can ask anybody

that was up there with me.

- Do me a favor and calm down.

- I was--

Just calm down

and explain the situation to me, okay?

All I know is that I was working,

and then Sandra came and told me

that I stole some lady's money.

That--That is everything that I know.

You stole some lady's money.

Did you know the lady in question?

No. I don--I can't even think of anyone

that it would possibly be.

- Miss, be quiet.

- There's no one--

Now, had you seen this woman

before on the premises?

If you're just straight with me,

it'll all be worked out, okay?

I am being s--

I'm--I'm being straight with you.

Okay, so what that tells me is

that you don't realize

what kind of trouble you're in here.

I'm gonna need you to address me

as sir or officer, understand?

Yes, sir.

Okay, good.

Now, first we need to find the money.

Now, do--do you want

to tell me where it is?

I don't have any money.

You don't have any money?

Well, why are there people

who say otherwise?

I don't know.

You don't know.

- I don't know why.

- You don't know! Huh! Okay.

This isn't the easy way

out of this, you understand?

What--What can I do?

How can I help? Like--

Just put Sandra back on,

but you need to do

what she tells you, okay?

I mean, yeah, of course.

Of course I'm gonna do what she tells me to,

and I'm gonna do what you tell me to.

- Then we'll be okay, okay?

- That's fine, but--

- Okay.

- Just put Sandra back on the phone, please.

All right.

Hello?

Hi, Sandra. Uh, I'll need your help

till I can get down there.

We really have two choices here.

Okay, what do you need?

We need to find the money,

but I want to make this

as easy as possible for Becky.

Wouldn't you agree?

Yes, I would.

So that's the first thing.

And in this situation, either--

and I don't like this--

we drag her downtown.

We book her.

We process her.

We put her in a holding cell,

where she'll probably be all night.

That seems very extreme.

Yeah. I mean, I think in order to

keep this sort of contained,

what we could do is just have you

strip-search her right now.

Would just be easier and quicker, I think.

Gee, I don't know if--

I don't know if I'm comfortable with that.

Yeah, I know, but her story

doesn't jibe, see?

- You know, I mean--

- I know, but it means

we have to put her into the system,

you know?

Look, I understand you not wanting

to get involved, but...

[sighs] Gee, I'm not sure...

In my experience,

it could be a very big deal.

...to be honest.

Yeah, well, a trial

can drag on a long time.

There's a direct cost to her

being taken in.

- Sandra...

- Yeah. Um...

federal conviction rate is over 90 %.

You know, she seems like a nice person.

Yeah.

If there's any doubt, you know,

having you do it there

could be a big help to her.

Yeah. I mean, it seems--

I'm not--

I don't want you to worry about this part,

because I have to take the full,

final responsibility for this,

and I do, and I take that

very seriously.

So take that off your shoulders.

Um...

Okay.

Just--Just a second.

He's saying that...

[sighs] that he will have

to take you down to jail

and that, most likely,

you'll have to spend the night,

or I could, um--

I could strip-search you here.

What? No.

No.

No way.

Just tell her that it's gonna be quicker

if you strip-search her.

This'll all be over quicker.

SANDRA:

'Cause if we go to the jail...

Beck, if we go to the jail,

it just takes much longer.

This is so stupid.

I didn't do anything at all.

What did she say?

Um...

It? either that or take her to jail

and hold her overnight, okay?

Hold on. So, honey,

what do you want to do?

I mean, what--

what do you mean?

What I mean is it looks like

we're either gonna have

to go down to the jail--

we don't have much of a choice--

or, you know, I can do it here,

which I think is really much,

much easier for you. Don't you?

Okay'

- Okay.

- Okay. You want me to search you...

BECKY:
Search. Yeah, search.

Okay, search. God.

So we'll--

we'll just do that really quickly.

I'll get Marti in here,

and we'll do it really quick, okay?

She say yes?

Yeah, can you just bring Marti in here?

Yeah. She is saying yes, but I think I need

to get my shift supervisor in here, right?

Well, it'd be best not

to have her actually.

It's faster for everyone

the quicker it can happen.

Yeah, but she's asking for Marti,

and I think in situations like this,

corporate would insist on having

two supervisors present. I mean...

Oka--Oh, corporate does?

Yeah. Well, I mean,

what does Robbie think?

What does Robbie think?

Yeah, about--

Oh, oh, Robert?

You know what? I don't know.

Let me ask him. Hold on.

He's talking to Robbie.

- Is Marti up front?

- Oh, she went to the back.

I'm sure Becky didn't have

anything to do with it.

What?

Is this all about the freezer?

No, no, no.

- L-ls everything okay with Becky?

- Not really.

Okay, Marti, I need you

to come with me to the office.

I know we're swamped,

but this is important.

DANIELS:

I know you don't want to do this,

but it's gonna be okay.

It's fine, really.

I've done a million of these,

and, it's fine, you know.

It's not pleasant.

I mean, you don't like it.

I don't like it.

I don't know any guy, as many years
