Page him. Tell him Im at home.

I'm being set up.

There's cops all over my yard.

Michael!

Tell him to call me immediately.

We have a warrant to search

your dwelling for narcotics.

Please, sir. Step over here.

An informant has

given us your address

as a residence where he purchased

narcotics from a Michael Carr.

- This is crazy!

- Are you Michael Carr?

Yeah.

Surprise, surprise.

Michael Carr, Im placing you under arrest

for possession of narcotics.

You have the right to remain silent

and to contact an attorney.

If you cannot afford one...

I'm removing your glasses

for your safety, sir.

We'll take you down to the station now.

We can pull a car up to the back

so your neighbors won't see.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Call Roger.

Make sure you get hold of Roger.

I'm Detective Noble. How do you do?

I want to offer you the opportunity

to make it easy on yourself.

If you name your connection,

you can be out of here as soon as possible.

I'm not talking to anybody

until I speak with my lawyer.

That's your right, Mr. Carr.

You've got ten minutes.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

How's Karen?

Hanging in there.

Do I get to see her?

After the arraignment.

You're only allowed legal counsel now.

What about bail?

That will be set at your hearing.

What's your money situation?

Everything I had went into the party

to impress Lurie.

I need to know exactly.

$2,200.

I don't think they'll set bail too high.

It's not like you're a professional dope dealer.

Professional?

There was half a pound of cocaine

in your house. We've got a problem.

My problem's simple.

A cop wants me out of the way

because he wants my wife.

Look. This is way over my head.

I got in touch with Sam Gershon.

He's the best criminal attorney I know.

He'll represent you at your hearing.

You guys need to talk to Roy Cole.

Davis' partner, Officer Roy Cole.

He told me that if anything else happened,

he'd help me out.

Cole's dead.

In the line of duty, in a shoot-out.

I talked to his captain.

He won't stop until he kills me.

Get me out of here, Roger.

I will. It's all in hand.

No, no, no. You listen to me.

Just get me out of here.

Case PA846059. People versus Alvarez.

Mr. Alvarez is charged with

illegal possession of an automatic weapon

as set forth

in the California Penal Code.

Is he represented by counsel?

He pleads innocent.

Nothing can be served

by his detention until trial.

- We request release on OR.

- Denied. Bail set at $25,000.

Case PA855327.

People versus Michael Carr.

Mr. Carr is charged with possession

of cocaine with intent to distribute

as set forth in section 11351 and 11352

of the California Health and Safety Code.

- Is he represented by counsel?

- He pleads innocent.

Your Honor, he is a model citizen

who owns his own home.

He's in business locally.

His wife is a teacher

in a respected local private school.

We request bail on OR.

Your Honor, it's come to our attention

that Mr. Carr pled out a similar case in Texas.

What about this?

It wasn't me.

I took an investor out on the town.

The guy had a vial of blow in his pocket

and stuck it under the car seat.

A lawyer told me the easiest thing

to do was plead it out, so...

- But it wasn't me.

- It doesn't matter.

You took the deal, it's on the record.

This OR is denied. Bail is set at $250,000.

Case PA861288. People versus Jenkins.

Mr. Jenkins is charged with felony

as set forth in section 4873

of the California Penal Code.

Mr. Jenkins pleads not guilty,

Your Honor...

Having trouble making bail, Mike?

Money's a little tight, huh?

Karen's really upset.

You really shouldn't

have done this to her.

She's all alone now.

But don't worry, not for long.

I want you to know

that she's gonna be taken care of.

I know what Karen needs.

And isn't it her happiness

that we both want?

Hmm?

If you could find us,

why don't you look us up?

I'd love to have you over

for a barbecue.

If you go near her,

I'll kill you.

So long, Mikey.

You look good in blue!

- Hey.

- Hi.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

I'm just a little tired.

There you are!

I thought he might be hungry.

- Thanks.

- How about you?

I could use something, yeah.

Good.

Penny...

I'm really glad you're here.

It's no problem.

I'll stay till Michael gets home.

It's gonna be a while.

That's OK. Get some rest.

Guard!

Make a telephone call!

Guard!

Guard! Thanks, man.

Can I make a telephone call?

Guard! Make a telephone call?

Shut up!

You're just a fat little piggy,

aren't you?

There you go.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Pete?

Karen's upstairs.

She's got a headache.

Oh.

I've brought some groceries

in case she didn't have time

after everything that's been going on.

I'll tell her you came by.

Why don't I just give them to you?

I gotta get going to work, so...

I'm not very popular here,

am I, Penny?

All right.

I'll just leave them here.

You can get them...

You can get them later.

Take care.

You look great.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

250. That's a hard bullet.

You're looking at $25K, Mr. Graham.

Here's the deed to my house.

This takes care of the bail,

but what about my premium?

I'm writing you a $25,000.

personal check.

That's a nice Rolex.

Forget the watch. Sam Gershon

said you'd take care of me.

This should be a cashier's check,

but you're a friend of Sam.

If the bank says you've got funds, OK.

Touch-tone phones, you don't have that?

All right. Can I make that phone call now?

Please?

It would just take a second.

I'd really appreciate it.

Talk to you when I can.

- Operator.

- A collect, from Michael.

One moment.

I'm sorry, sir.

The phone must be off the hook.

Can you cut in or something?

This is an emergency.

I did that, sir.

Can you help me?

I won't get to a phone again.

It's a machine, I can't tell it what to do.

I can report it...

- Are you sure it's off the hook?

- Yes, sir, it is.

Penny, it smells so good!

I didn't know

cooking was one of your...

Hi.

Are you feeling better?

I got some umm...

..mushrooms, onions, dried tomatoes,

parsley.

- Where's Penny?

- Penny?

Umm...

I told her to go home.

She'd just be a third wheel.

I took the phone off the hook

so you could sleep

and have no distractions.

I'm not sleeping now, am I?

I want you to leave.

Wait.

I know I shouldn't be here.

I know you're upset.

But let's stop kidding ourselves, Karen.

We've bent over backwards

to do the right thing.

You playing the perfect wife,

me the good friend.

I can't take it anymore, I just can't.

Now we can stop pretending.

We can stop pretending now.

Pete, Im very tired.

I... I need some time alone.

I've got to be by myself.

I know, I know. I understand.

Come here. Sit down.

Sit down.

I know what's scaring you.

Listen.

I don't have to be a cop any more.

OK? I could do something different

with my life.

Something clean.

I think that's good.

No-one should have to live their life

the way you have been.

You wouldn't have to carry a gun any more.
