this afternoon to pick up that cash.

We think it was used last year

in a sting operation with Paulo Esteban.

lf we can tie the serial numbers to the bills

you have, we can tie Esteban to Scarcetti.

This is top priority. With this evidence

we can kill two birds with one stone -

nail Esteban and Scarcetti -

and it may lead...

Tell you what,

why don't l call you tomorrow and...

This had to be done the day before

yesterday. We got a court date coming...

The evidence has to stay

in my possession...

l didn't call you to get

a lecture on the rules of evidence.

We, ie the US Government, need to check

the serial numbers on that cash.

When l hang up in ten seconds, l want

you to type up a chain of evidence receipt.

One of my men will be happy

to sign it for you.

- Oh yeah, and Chief?

You got it.

(Alex) No, l've been on hold.

When should l call back?

OK, thanks.

Here you go.

Where's my phone records? How long can

it take to fax a few sheets of paper?

Look at this entry into the chequebook.

That last one.

- ls this the only entry you found?

- So far.

- What's going on?

and we got a potential motive.

But there's got to be tons

of these life insurance companies, right?
