Not much.

Just an act of Congress.

After you, detective.

That button was labeled | as found in the dining room.

How did it get in the lavatory?

I labeled it wrong.

Did you kill her?

Did you have an affair with Carla?

Never.

But you came on to her, right?

You did come on to her, yeah?

Did you come on to Carla Town?

I came on to her. I mean...

...did you ever see her?

She's hot.

You take it further than that?

No.

Listen to me.

Carla...

...was strictly hands-off.

What do you mean, hands-off?

I don't know.

But then, that was the word. | The Secret Service...

...was looking out for her.

How?

I don't know.

Like if she worked late, say...

...11 o'clock, 12 o'clock...

...the Secret Service guys...

...they would always drive her home.

Don't want that, don't want that. That!

This is an act of war.

This is the Pueblo revisited, | and he wants to negotiate?

Give me a break!

Neil negotiating to defend us | at a table!

He can't even defend his own house.

Where's your rider at?

How did you get down here?

You want to live...

...open the door 2 inches | and slide your weapon out.

Don't make me stain my linen.

Out!

Sh*t!

It's a nasty-ass city, Regis.

Congratulations, | you are now a statistic.

Let me see that.

Son of a b*tch!

So they're eavesdropping.

Big surprise. It's the government.

Look...

They brought you in on this...

...for the same reason they brought | Dallas doctors in to work on Kennedy.

They go the extra mile so no one'll say | they couldn't have done more.

You never would've let me hold Luchessi | on what they have.

You know that.

All right, go take another look at it.

But don't make any f***ing noise | till you have something real.

Yes, sir.

Come on, Carla.

Talk to me.

This is full frame?

The machines automatically crop.

- Can you get me closer to this? | - No problem.

He's Secret Service. | Can you make me a hard copy?

Thank you. You the man!

Is there any progress in the case?

Was the First Family involved?

Can I have a fruit juice, please?

Aren't you the...?

The Speaker of the House.

How you doing?

Good, thanks.

Do you ever speak to anyone | at the Interstate Commerce Commission?

They're some organization, I'm not | really sure, but they're evicting me.

Excuse me, Mr. Speaker...

...the detective is needed elsewhere.

Don't worry about it, I'll call you.

What're you doing here?

Trying to find you.

The task force is closed. | We have a suspect.

Yeah. Me too.

Who's that?

He's Secret Service. You should know.

I can't tell you.

Is that classified too?

- Yes, it is. | - Then I'll have to find out for myself.

There he is.

The one who just stepped to the podium.

What's his name?
