Yeah, yeah, I feel better now.

(knocking)

Yeah?

Jack, it's me, Mindy.

Yes, Mindy, I recognize your voice.

Mindy, we're in a meeting right now.

I know, but the police are here.

(Jack sighs)

Can I help you guys?

Hey, yeah, you Jack Mackie?

That's me.

Well, I'm Detective Agnew.

This here's Detective Vo.

Okay, and?

When's the last time

you saw Judge Jerry?

Judge Jerry?

Yeah.

What's this about?

Just tell us the last time you saw him.

I don't know, at the taping last night.

You didn't see him after the taping?

Well, no, why would I?

Judge Jerry was murdered.

Wow.

We believe his time of

death was about 3:00 a.m.

Whoa, that's awful.

Poor Judge Jerry, huh?

Hey, wait a minute.

I hope you guys don't think I

had something to do with this.

He did rule against you, Mackie.

I'm gonna kill some guy over

a small claims court case?

I got news for you guys, I knew

I was gonna lose that case.

I just wanted to go on TV

to promote my business.

Sounds a little far-fetched, Mackie.

Not far-fetched, more

like unconventional.

I'm an out-of-the-box kinda guy, you know.

Tell us where you were last night.

Come on, guys, I mean this

is getting a little comical,

don't you think?

Oh, murder is funny to you?

I didn't think so

until you guys showed up.

Just tell us where you were.

All right, look, uh, I'll tell you,

but not in front of my staff, okay.

I mean, it's kinda personal.

Staff?

All we see is the chick and

the sidekick over there.

Look, look, I got many agents

that come in and out all day long.

Um, come on, I'll talk to

you in my conference room.

Get this a**hole.

What is this, Mackie, some kinda joke?

Hey, don't act like you've never been

in one of these before.

Okay, out with it!

Okay, look, last night

I was with an employee.

The sidekick?

Who says cops can't be funny?

No, Mindy.

The receptionist?

Yeah.

Well, she's not just a receptionist.

She's also heading my

immigration division as well.

But listen, I don't want people

to know about this, okay.

It's a little office romance.

So that's, uh, I don't want it to get out.

Well, then, we need to

talk to her, then, Mackie.

Fine.

Mindy, can you come in

here a second please?

Now, when she gets here,

you let us do all the talking.

Got it.

Hi, Mindy.

[Mindy] Hi.

Um, listen, these, uh, detectives

would like to ask you a

couple of questions, okay?

- Okay.

- 'Kay.

You mind tellin' us your whereabouts

between about midnight and 4:00 a.m.?

I was at my home, at my

apartment in Garden Grove.

Did you have any company?

Yes.

Who?

Jack.

I don't get it.

Why did you need Mindy to

give you a phony alibi?

Because I didn't want the
