Sustained.
Proceed, Mr Schiff.
when you entered that
Suite 405 of the Holiday lnn.
the room with Richard Colbert,
lnternal Revenue Service,
who was kneeling beside a coffee table
counting out stacks of $100 bills.
And will you tell the jury
how you knew of this...
Therefore, with probable cause,
you applied for a warrant?
- Yes, sir.
- Which Federal Judge Griffen granted.
Thank you. Your witness.
Agent Powell, as you know,
my client, Ed Lombardo,
- is charged with extortion.
- Yes, ma'am.
Did you observe Richard Colbert
when he first entered the hotel?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Was he carrying anything?
- No, ma'am.
- Why not?
We didn't want him to know
that we were there.
So Richard Colbert
could have conceivably brought
the $125,000 in with him.
He could or he could not have.
Your agency has a well-deserved
reputation for thoroughness.
Did you also investigate
Richard Colbert's background...
to ascertain why he might have
been carrying such a large sum?
- The man gambled.
- l'm sorry. l didn't hear that.
that Colbert came there
Agent Powell, hadn't a division
of your task force been trying
to link Mr Lombardo...
- We have.
- And in those circles,
$125,000 would not be considered
- Am l correct?
- l heard of bets like that.
And wasn't your arrest made just
two days before the Super Bowl?
- Yes.
- Agent Powell, did you--
- l've got everything l need.
- You're sensational, Counsellor.
- What would it take
to keep you on retainer?
- A lot.
Here's the situation:
The FBl had a Title lll wiretap
authorization, all right,
but it expired five days
before the arrest.
No, no, they followed the rules.
They pulled the tap.
Well, then how'd they find out
about a meeting that was planned
just the day before?
An FBl guy working inside
the Lombardo organization.
They're not gonna risk blowing his cover
to get a simple bribery conviction.
Don't worry. You won't.
No matter what l need,
Count on it. You know, if your mother
hadn't turned me down nine times,
l-l'd be your father.
ls it unethical for me to ask
just how you got your information?
Well, there's a secretary
over at the Justice Department.
And there is nothing
a 62-year-old woman won't do...
for a date with a six--
72-year-old man.
Goddam it! lt took us two and a half
years to get this man into position.
lt'll take them no time
to finger him and kill him!
My job is to get Ed Lombardo
off, not to aid and abet...
in exposing a federal
undercover agent.
about this conversation.
-Well, how can l rely
on you to keep quiet?
-Because l'm giving you my word!
l'll leave it to you two
to figure a way out of this.
- Got it here as fast as l could.
- Oh, thanks.
By the way,
your fan is back again.
He's been here every day.
l mean, he's gorgeous.
He can't take his eyes off you.
You want me to find out
what he wants?
- l know what he wants.
- All rise!
Your Honour, might l ask the court
to examine this document, please?
Well, Mr Schiff, what do you
have to say about this?
maintained the taps
until the date of arrest.
- Yes, it appears so.
- Your Honour, on that basis,
l'd like to move...
for a directed verdict
of not guilty.
l have no choice
but to grant the motion.
The defendant is released from custody.
These proceedings are adjourned.
Yes!
Couldn't you have found something
a little more official?
lt's my favourite
Chinese joint.
