you Eli, right?
Elihu, I don't know,
it's almost hard for me to say.
But Eli, it's more Hamish.
Hamish, it's a word of my people. Means...
- Cozy.
To feel at home with,
it's why your people use chintz. Sean...
When we capture Jordan, and we will,
he's going to be tried.
It's the easiest case
this office will ever have.
He left one empty gun behind
his prints are on it.
I'll bet you whatever you want...
ballistics will find bullets in one of
those four cops that came from that gun.
He's the worst dope dealer in Harlem.
A murderer of his own people. A monster.
As I say, easiest case this office will
ever have. I hope they get him alive.
'Cause I want him put on trial
by this office.
And you know who the prosecutor's
going to be?
You Sean you're going to try him.
That's right:
you, Sean.You're looking at me like I'm crazy.
Morgy, with apologies to you, Sean...
Morgy, this is a giant case.
Sean has never tried anything like this,
in size or importance.
Mr. Morgenstern, Morgy,
Mr. Harrinson's right.
I mean, I'm new at this.
A mistake could ruin the case.
There's no problem here
my son could win this case.
And he's not out of high school.
And is stupid.
This case isn't complicated.
Morgy, are you serious?
You can always tell when I make a joke.
I'm the guy who laughs loudest.
Sir... Morgy...
- Look, kid:
Whose father is laying up there with
tubes coming out of every hole he's got?
Whose blood is flowing in his veins,
now, this minute?
And who put him there?
Case closed.
Food is here. Shall I bring it in?
- No, put it in DiAngelo's office.
Kid, go eat. There's a couch in there.
DiAngelo's in Florida on vacation.
Eat, grab some kip. I'll wake you
if there's any word from the hospital.
You got a career-making case coming up.
- Thank you.
Why are you doing this?
He's at the top of his class.
I don't know. I got a feeling about him.
You mean that?
You bet your guy as I do.
- You realize I'll have to resign?
So? Resign.
Morgy, I'm Senior Trial Counsel.
Turning this over to anybody but me
is an insult...
that's incredibly damaging to me,
to my career.
Turning it over to an ADA with eight
months experience's more than insulting.
It's shocking, humiliating, unacceptable.
- Listen to me you prick.
You think I don't know what's going on?
The walls have ears, my friend.
Those little planted stories in
the papers? Morgenstern is old...
Morgenstern's has got heart problems.
Morgenstern's lost his touch.
That's your work, Eli.
You and that goddamn PR firm you hired.
And you thought I didn't know? I got
lots of friends, Eli. People owe me.
