- Yes.

Do it.

Do it now!

Joel? Yeah, Baer down at LA County.

Look, the guy they pulled out

of the harbour is Arkosh Kovash.

Yes. Yes. I'm sure.

No, he's all f***ed up.

What? What? I can't hear you.

Will you shut up? I'm on the phone.

Yes?

Well, not until I put a man on him. Send

me someone who can speak Hungarian.

- Yeah, he's talking like a Thai hooker.

- Keyser Sze!

- What?

- Keyser Sze! Keyser Sze!

- Keyser Sze.

- No sh*t.

Joel. Yeah, call Dan Metzheiser at Justice

and find Dave Kujan from Customs.

Verbal, this is Agent Kujan from Customs.

Nice to meet you.

He wants to ask you a few questions.

- What about?

- About a Dean Keaton mostly.

But I'd like to start at

the line-up in New York.

- Can I get coffee?

- In a while. Let's talk about the line-up.

I'm really thirsty.

I used to dehydrate as a kid.

One time I got so bad, my piss

come out like snot. It was thick...

- I'll get your f***ing coffee.

- Get me one too while you're at it.

That guy is tense. Tension is a killer.

I was in a barbershop quartet

in Skokie, Illinois.

The baritone was a guy named Kip Diskin.

Big, fat guy. I mean, like, orca fat.

- He was so stressed in the morning...

- Verbal, we're trying to help you.

Sure. And I appreciate that.

And I wanna help you, Agent Kujan.

I like cops. I would have liked

to have been a fed myself, but...

Verbal, you're not telling us everything.

I know you know something.

I told the DA everything I know.

Verbal, I know you like Keaton.

I know you think he's a good man.

- I know he was good.

- He was a corrupt cop.

Sure, 15 years ago,

but he was a good thief.

- Anyway, cops wouldn't let him go legit.

- Dean Keaton was a piece of sh*t!

Are you trying to get

a rise out of me, Agent Kujan?

- I just wanna hear your story.

- It's all there.

May I have a cigarette?

- According to your statement...

- I need a light.

According to your statement, you're

a short-con operator. Run-of-the-mill...

According to your statement,

you're a short-con operator.

- Run-of-the-mill scams.

- It's been suppressed. It's inadmissible.

Oh, I know. Sweet deal you have here.

Total immunity.

Well, I do have the weapons charge. I'm

looking at six whole months' hard time.

You know a dealer

named Ruby Deemer, Verbal?

Know a religious guy named John Paul?

- You know Ruby's in Attica?

- He didn't have my lawyer.

I know Ruby. He's big on respect. He's a

good friend of mine, likes me very much.

I know your testimony is sealed. Ruby has

a lot of friends inside do favours for him.

What do you think he'd say if he found out

you dropped his name to the DA?

- There's nothing in there about Ruby.
