Here's your money.
That's just wrong!
I hope to do more for you and your father.
Your *** feels cushiony.
Stop it! Stop it! Come on. I need one of these.
Rufus, go check it out.
Holy ***! I saw my life flash before my eyes. Thank God that *** cat jumped out when he did.
That was crazy! I thought we'd never get out of there. Do you think they saw us?
I don't think they saw us.
I think they saw us. I think they saw us and they're just waiting to kill us at a later time.
Oh relax! They didn't see us.
I knew that *** was tampering with evidence and now there's an innocent man facing life imprisonment.
What are we going to do?
What are WE going to do?! We're not going to do anything. Are you kidding?
Tonight's fiasco was enough for me.
Fine, but you have to help me find a way to reveal this to the Judge.
No. Don't do anything Sofia. This is way out of our league.
An innocent man will rot in jail because some arrogant prick wants to be our next District Attorney.
How can you sleep at night knowing that Jesus Lopez is being deprived of his freedom in a country far away from his own without due process of law?!
Look, now I'm Jesus's savior? Okay, no! I'm way too beautiful to die young.
The only thing Jesus can be accused of is of coming to this country for a chance at the American dream.
God Sofia, why do you always do this to me? Come one breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe. Okay fine. What's the plan?
I don't know. Maybe I'll write an anonymous letter to the Judge asking him to reexamine the case.
Okay well I can help you do that.
And I'll include two copies of the police reports showing the discrepancy.
No, that can be risky.
Don't worry. I'll clear my tracks.
Okay, wait...maybe we can contact the defense attorney and he can put pressure on the Judge.
The defense attorney is an assigned counsel appointed by the Judge. What does he care about this case. He already got paid by the State.
What we can do is alert all the major news outlets and disseminate fliers to make the public aware.
Disseminate fliers?! Sofia, what kind of propaganda are you running? What's wrong with you?
I'll help you write, okay. But I am not starting a revolution here.
You're right. I have to keep my tracks clear. No skid marks. Yuck.
In the criminal justice system the people are represented by two separate yet equally corrupt groups:
The police who instigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the innocent. Will these be their stories? Not if I can help it!
Ruby! I want Brent Renard in here now. And have Kevin bring me all the files on the Lopez case.
Right away your Honor.
Mr. Renard is it true you tampered with evidence in order to cover for the Senator's son and his drug ring?
How do you think this will affect your possibilities of becoming this town's next District Attorney?
How many innocent lives have you destroyed with your lies?
Okay people move it along. Show's over. Special police.
It all comes tumbling down. *** is facing jail time on multiple counts.
He's not going down that easy. It doesn't end with him. Brent has a long history of manipulating evidence
and for some inexplicable reason the Judge has let him get away with it.
Do you think the Judge is involved?
I don't know, but I have a feeling this *** runs up and down our entire justice system.
Howdy Times afficionados.
Hey Kev.
Here's your lefty paper in case you're interested in reading all about your beloved Brent Renard.
Pretty strange how this all happened. I overheard the Judge say an anonymous letter forced him to re-open the Lopez matter.
Get this, or be forced to face the consequences of confidential information to be made public.
You know what that sounds like to me, don't you? Sounds like the doing of a whistleblower.
What do you mean?
Well isn't it obvious? Someone from this office wrote that letter.
Sounds to me like you watch too much conspiracy drama on TV.
By the way, has Fox News found a replacement for Glenn Beck?
You might want to consider that.
It's a plausible theory Señorita.
What happened to not speaking Spanish at work?
Oh I'm just practicing my Spanish.
Oh and that's acceptable?!
Alright you two. Look, even if that were the case Kevin. Why would anyone want to bring Brent down?
Unless, of course, an overzealous and overachieving attorney who is dying to take Brent's place possibly framed him.
That's certainly plausible Rob. And it may well be that that attorney thinks this town could use a conservative shape up because
Brent Renard was just way too much of a liberal to be our next District Attorney. It might even be Glenn Beck's mini me.
Very funny. Seriously, this is the handy work of an insider. Not me.
And let me tell you, I am very intrigued to find out who wrote that letter to the Judge.
What I find more intriguing is why a senator's son would be the head of a mafioso drug ring?
I mean the guy grew up privileged, not in the hood trying to escape poverty.
Oh yeah that's right that would make it acceptable.
No it wouldn't excuse him. But his daddy sure didn't deprive him of a privileged life.
Darling, you can put your boots in the oven, but that ain't going to make the biscuits.
You see that's the problem with you liberal types. You think it's somehow feasible for someone, let's say,
a poor person who is more than likely leeching off our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to get away with something like drug dealing.
But you're right. Let's lynch the rich while we're at it.
I don't want to lynch. Only those who align themselves with illegal activity to further enrich themselves.
Are you making a jab at my family?
That's not what she meant Kevin.
If the jab fits...
Kev, wait. Why did you have to bring that up Sofia?
I didn't. He did. Besides I was talking about the Senator's son.
Yeah, but you should know better. Look, you're always crossing the line Sofia.
Crossing the line. Sometimes the obvious needs to come out to make the stench of injustice come to light.
What is justice? It's certainly not blind. And if you're rich and power or a combination of the two you've got nothing to fear.
The rich, the powerful, they make their own justice. But what they don't know is that I'm on the inside too like a virus.
I'll play the game and they'll never know I'm there killing the unjust from the inside.
Sir, can I help you? I'm looking for someone.
Okay, I need you to sign in, and show me some ID and tell me who you are looking for.
Sure I'll sign in. Where you want me to sign in, right here? I'll sign right there. I'm looking for someone!
There's no need for that Sir. Sir I need you... Sir, I need you to release the lollipop.
Open wide. Open wide. There you go. You like that?
Hey! You made a big mistake my man.
Intruder alert! Intruder...
And I think I found her.
