If I whip your ass, and I'll...
you'll return to the party
of your people...
and make the run against me that way.
And you think I'm to hand you a career
making case so you can destroy me?
What do you think, I'm an idiot,
you momser?
That's a word of my people.
You want to know what it means?
Come here...
Bastard.
So, if he lives...
you've got your hero cop as a witness,
being questioned by
his heroic self-made son.
You've got Rivera, Oprah,
maybe even Charlie Rose explaining
how you made this heart-warming choice.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
Let me give you
three words of my people.
Go f*** yourself.
Up your ass.
Hey.
How you doing, Nails?
Nails?
Nails. I used to call you that,
remember? A long time ago.
Nails?
Remember?
Whenever you wanted me to do something.
You used to say:
"Nail it, son".
As long as I can remember.
You'd pitch me a ball in the park...
you'd say:
"Here, nail it, son".Remember?
Had a tough exam:
"Nail it, Seano"
I liked it.
Never said it to anybody else.
That's why I called you that.
I got it.
- Good, Pop.
- Remember.
Something terrific has happened.
When they get Washington, Pop, guess
It's me, Pop.
Guess who the chief witness is going
to be, Pop?
You.
First on the scene
First to go down. You're going to be on
the stand and am to ask the questions
My God, Sean.
Everything your mother and I worked for.
- I know that.
They're kicking me out
You get some rest, okay?
- Sean,
Nail the son-of-a-b*tch.
I will, Pop.
I love you.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
- Morning, Sam.
I have an announcement to make
I have agreed to defend
Jordan Washington.
So you know where he is?
- Yes, yes, I know where he is.
I want to arrange for a quiet surrender
to the District Attorney's office.
How and when did you contact
each other?
Through an intermediary, Don.
What possible defense do you plan to
offer in this case?
You working for the DA's office, Bill?
You're usually so willing to talk, Sam.
Why are you being so coy?
No, no, you're all going to have to
just wait for the trial.
And let me assure you
that we want a trial.
In fact... Emily, would you send
Mr. Washington in, please.
You've had him here the whole time?
How long?
Does the DA know that he's here?
Jordan, now's your chance to make
a statement:
What's the plea going to be?
My client will not answer
any questions.
Would you take off your shirt and
lower your trousers, please?
Notice, ladies and gentlemen,
that he is completely unmarked.
