Most scenes with: Martin Vail (3)
Mr. Pinero has never been convicted of anything. Cops jumped him, he was left bleeding in the snow. It's a miracle he survived. Having said that, I am not opposed to a settlement.
John Shaughnessy A million-five and Pinero leaves the state.
You can't limit a citizen's right to live wherever he wants to. Legally, that's unenforceable.
John Shaughnessy Whether or not it's enforceable or just a gentleman's agreement, Mr. Pinero will know what we want.
John Shaughnessy Listen to me Marty, it's a mistake to stick your thumbs in the eyes of the most powerful people in the city.
I'm not aiming for their eyes.
John Shaughnessy Don't **** with me, Marty.
It's confusing to me because I have document here from your office that says last year Michael O'Donnell spoke to the supervisor of that unit over a period of two weeks explaining to him - in graphic detail - of the sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of Archbishop Rushman. Isn't it also true, Mr. State's attorney, that your "friend" Archbishop Rushman was not going to stand trial for any of it? He owed you big time. You must've been very pissed off when he pulled out of the South River construction deal. What happened? He finally said "I can't take it anymore" and you said "no". You and your investors had sixty millions reasons to kill him!
Objection!
Sustained! You're out of order, Mr. Vail!
John Shaughnessy You son of a bitch!
