WAXMAN, J.D. AND JAMES NATHAN POST WaxPost Literary Productions Box 309 South Haven, Michigan 49090 (269)207-6219 INT. SAM cohens office-- DAY Sam Cohen is seated at his desk playing with a stuffed piranha. As though to an interviewer, he speaks to the camera. SAM COHEN I can't look at piranhas without thinking of Ryan Sedlack. It's not every day you meet a man who keeps piranhas for pets. That's right, I said pets. This man bought live rats, and trained his piranhas to jump for them by starving them. I met him in 1974, when somebody recommended me, maybe because I have a reputation for playing rough in the courtroom. I was idealistic and ambitious, then, and I still thought I was the white-hat guy in the movies. That's what I had believed since kindergarten. Then I got a look at the other side. I found out how the guys with the budgets and the badges really behave, so I walked out, casting off my purple toga, and leaving behind the comfortable salary and the secure future that went with it. I set up my own office, and hired Sheila Starr to be my secretary and faithful right hand girl Friday. Ryan Sedlack was part of a dirty tricks squad in a civic group called the Legion Of Justice, which existed in Chicago and elsewhere to oppose protestors against the Vietnam War. He was a Vietnam veteran, one of those extreme mission guys. 000200000763000005E675D, DISSOLVE TO: EXT. VIETNAM (1969) - MORNING A hazy dawn at a US Army firebase in the jungle. Sgt. RYAN SEDLACK sits on a sandbag bunker with the other soldiers, waiting. As though being interviewed, he speaks to the camera. SEDLACK I love my job. No, I'm not being sarcastic, I mean it. I don't give a shit about why we are fighting, but there are things a man can do in a war that he can't do any other way. It's like cowboys and Indians for real, getting paid for tearing people up, for blowing fucking heads off, and laughing your ass off. I am an expert in the art of death, and damn proud of it. Every side in every war has guys like me, even if most of them deny it. I don't give a shit about that either. I don't do it for the reputation. Technically, I hold a commission as Captain, US Army, but I have done missions as a Light Colonel even. Most of the time, I prefer to work low profile as Staff Sergeant Sedlack. Everybody on this mission knows me by that name only. A flight of helicopters arrives, including three troop carrying UH-1H Hueys and two UH-1C gunships. LIEUTENANT STACY approaches and motions them to enter the bunker. CUT TO: INT. BUNKER - LATER About twenty men including Sedlacks team and the helicopter pilots sit at a briefing. Lt. Stacy stands before a map. LIEUTENANT STACY Ten-Hut. Major Hutton will address you on today's mission. At ease. MAJOR HUTTON comes up to the podium. MAJOR HUTTON Men, we are going up river about twenty clicks to some villages where VC are infiltrating. They are using fear and intimidation to takeover these villages. We are going to use fear and intimidation to flush them out. You all know the drill. Squads will round up the villagers and tell the leader to identify the VC. If he refuses, the squad leader will treat him with extreme prejudice. Any questions about that? 00020000047700000D43471, Ryan draws his bayonet along his teeth, making a squeak like chalk. A couple of guys laugh. Major HUTTON OK, keep it down. If they identify VC, you will take them into custody. Cooperative ones will be brought back for interrogation. The others, extreme prejudice. These are top-secret operations, and the Army is honored to be working with Federal Intelligence here. You were all chosen because of your strong anti-communist beliefs, dedication to Democracy, and commitment to obey orders. I expect all of you to do your duty. Any questions? The Major points to the map. He shows aerial photos of the villages and Landing Zones. MAJOR HUTTON All right, the squad leaders have the chopper assignments. You rotorheads know your destination coordinates. I will be in the Command and Control chopper monitoring all comm channels. All right, let's go give em hell. EXT. Outside the tent - LATER The team check equipment. Ryan checks his trusty .45, and a methedrine tablet from a plastic package labeled as survival equipment. All get onto the helicopters, and they take off. EXT. VIETNAM JUNGLE. HELICOPTER SHOT - MOMENTS LATER 00020000022D000011B4227,The helicopters fly over the trees, then the lead ship drops into its LZ and settles into deep grass. The troops get off and it flies away. EXT. VIETNAM JUNGLE VILLAGE Troops round up villagers, shoot up the place a little, set fire to one hut. About a dozen adult males are lined up. Ryan pulls out his .45, and starts walking along the line, then he stops in front of one of them. RYAN VC? Who VC? Prepared to die, the man shakes his head. Ryan shoots the man next to him, quickly moves down the line, then stops, turns on one. Ryan Who VC? 000200000425000013DB41F,The guy next to him croaks out. VIETNAMESE VC go. Didimau bush. VC didimau. Ryan marches him to a hooch where one of the guys is pointing his M-16 at two old women and a little girl about twelve. Ryan sits the man down and ties his arms behind his back. He points to the little girl. RYAN Boomboom? VIETNAMESE VC no boomboom. Ryan grabs the girl, bends her over a railing. He pulls out his bayonet and cuts the back out of her pants. RYAN VC or boomboom? Ryan opens his fly, and rapes her. Then he puts his bayonet up to her neck. RYAN Who VC? The Vietnamese weeps. Ryan throws the girl back to the old women. He pulls out his .45, and shoots the Vietnamese. RYAN This whole place is VC. Let's get the fuck out of here. His companion tosses a grenade back into the hooch and it blows up. They round up and head out through the jungle for the Pickup Zone. The choppers come in for the pickup. Ryan calls on the radio. RYAN Dagger flight, we are taking fire, taking fire. The vill is hostile. Marking our position with smoke grenade. GUNSHIP pilot 0002000004FB000017FA4F5,Tiger Charlie Six, this is Dagger One-seven. I've got grape smoke. The gunships begin blowing up the village. The troop helicopters drop down, pick them up, and fly out of the jungle. RYAN See what I mean, I love my job. cut to INT: BAR AT MAYORS ROW--CHICAGO 1975 - DAY Bartender MEL POLLARD polishes glasses behind his bar. MEL POLLARD Just call me Mel the bartender. Everybody around here knows who you mean. I've been around the block a couple of times. These days I live a simple life here where I work. I also write pulp novels, under a pen name, so nobody around here knows. One of my regular customers is Sam Cohen, intrepid lawyer. Your basic aggressive ambitious young Jew --he prefers "Hebrew"-- with the fatal weakness of being an honest idealist. In certain circles hes considered a hero for walking off the fattest job in the profession because he didn't like defending one of the Fed's very guilty dirty tricks guys. Hes made a career of butting heads with big guys, and things I've learned listening to him over my bar have made a minor hit of my lawyer character, Colin McBee, J.D. I made him Irish instead of a Jew like Sam because they're a lot alike, both proud of being masochistic and too damn smart for their own good. I'm Irish myself. 00020000041100001CEF40B, Sam comes into the bar with his secretary, SHEILA STARR, pulls out a wad of bucks. SAM COHEN Bushmill's straight up and a Guinness back. SHEILA STARR A cold draft for me Mel. Mel walks to end of bar away from them, talks to camera. Melvin pollard I knew he was feeling stressed, when he ordered the Irish, and I knew why. Sam had just met Ryan Sedlack. I am good at my job. I know everybody, and sooner or later everybody tells me everything. Ryan was one of those guys who simply lives for whatever rush he gets from holding another human body up against his chest and sticking a knife up under its ribs. I knew he was involved with the Legion of Justice, so when Sam came into the bar sweating bullets and drinking Irish, I didn't pry. I knew sooner or later hed ask me what I know. I wasn't sure yet how much I was going to tell him. Beautiful young black BETTY LINCOLN enters. MELVIN POLLARD Thats Betty Lincoln, ace Federal beat reporter for the Daily News, and Sams old flame. BETTY LINCOLN Hi, everybody. MELVIN POLLARD 000200000604000020FA5FE,What's shakin Betty? BETTY LINCOLN Hi Mel, how about a Manhattan. I knew you'd be here, Sam. I need to talk to you. Hi Sheila. Mel gets her drink. Sam and Betty head for a private table. Mel takes out the key to his apartment and dangles it in front of Sheila. She grins and grabs it. MELVIN POLLARD See you in an hour. Mel sets up another pair of drinks for Betty and Sam and brings them to the table. And he goes back to the bar and wipes a few glasses. MELVIN POLLARD Closing up. Sam and Betty finish their drinks and get up to leave. SAM COHEN Mel, I'll give you a call tomorrow. MELVIN POLLARD Sure you will. You guys have fun. Betty lincoln Whatever do you mean, Melvin? Sam and Betty exit. MELVIN POLLARD I'd say Sam was going to be loose as a goose tomorrow. Sheila was going to be loose as a goose as well, guaranteed. Me? Im always loose. DISSOLVE TO: INT. VIETNAM army base OFFICE - AFTERNOON Ryan sits waiting outside the office. RYAN When the Army finally got around to closing down Phoenix, my hitch had run out and I decided to exit. I just couldn't take being on the fucking goose patrols, walking up and down the trails waiting for some slope motherfucker to take a shot at me. They were keeping me on ice in my cover ID as a Staff Sergeant. My commissioned tour was technically up, and as I had not heard anything about promoting me to Major, I was planning to muster out as Sgt. Sedlack and let Admin take care of the paperwork. Ryan enters Major Huttons office and stands at attention. Major Hutton 000200000508000026F8502,At ease, Sgt. Have a seat. Would you like a shot of Cognac and a cigar? RYAN This is one of those official informal meetings, right, Major? Sure, I'll take a stogie and a shot, but don't bother to ask me to reenlist. I've made up my mind. Major hutton I'm sure you have. He pulls cigars and a canteen from a drawer. He takes two glasses and pours whiskey from the canteen into them. Major hutton No, I'm not going to ask you to spend one more week in the United States Army, Captain Sedlack. RYAN I didn't know you knew I was a Captain but it's the same either way. MAJOR HUTTON You aren't in a hurry are you? RYAN No, I am all packed, just killing time at the Club the NCO club. MAJOR HUTTON (laughing) Yeah, you've never been the Officer Club type, have you, Ryan? Me neither. I've been asked to make you an offer. Ryan, you're the best I know for extreme work, a natural born spook. Theres an operation stateside working with Military Intelligence to combat subversion at home, setting up patriotic front groups to do counter-intelligence. They asked me for somebody for their Chicago group. I recommended you. By the way, you do have a nice pension to live on, don't you? RYAN Not the way I want to live. MAJOR HUTTON Not going to hire yourself out as a hit man, I hope? 00020000055500002BFA54F,RYAN I was thinking of becoming a private detective but I'll have to go to school for that. MAJOR HUTTON I'm sure being a private dick would suit you just fine, Sedlack, but if you are interested, this could be the part-time job you need in the meanwhile. Are you interested? RYAN Sure. MAJOR HUTTON Heres a letter. Present it to the Provost office at the base youre sent to for out-processing. The Major puts his cigar in his mouth and stands at attention and salutes. And Ryan does the same. They shake hands. MAJOR HUTTON We've been through some shit. I'm going to miss your bright countenance and charming wit. (they both laugh) Good luck, soldier. By the way, just to make it official, you are under oath not to speak about the Phoenix Program or any other activities you participated in or knew about, and you may be prosecuted for treason with extreme prejudice if you divulge anything. Understood? RYAN Absolutely. I can keep a secret. MAJOR HUTTON I hope so, because if they ever have to shut you up, they will probably send me to get you. RYAN (with a wry grin) I know the rules. Just don't miss that first shot. CUT TO: EXT/Int. A warehouse In CHIcago. - EVENING Ryan rings the bell and a slot opens with a helmeted soldier on the other side. Ryan shows his ID and he is let in and directed to a door with Captain Ferris name. Ryan knocks. 000200000A3800003149A32,Captain ferris Captain Sedlack, glad you made it. Come in. RYAN Just Ryan, please. Ryan sits down in a big fake leather army issue chair, and Captain Ferris opens the brown manila folder in front of him. Captain ferris I've got your military records and it looks like you've had an exceptional career. Why did you leave? RyAN Well, I liked what I was doing, and they stopped it. They didn't offer me an oakleaf and I had no ambition to be a company commander in a grunt unit, or a desk pusher in G-2. So, I figured it was time to go. CAPTAIN FERRIS Okay, Ryan, here's the deal. You will be working for a lawyer by the name of Simon Reinhardt. You will accept his orders as your CO. He's in charge of a group called The Legion of Justice, who are doing covert counter-intelligence work for us. Most of the members don't know anything about that work. They are just good blue-collar patriots, real Americans. Your connection to us is top-secret. There will be certain members of the Chicago Police who will work with you when necessary. You'll hear them being referred to as the Red Squad, though their real name is the Subversive Intelligence Unit. They will provide you with cover for your activities. RYAN What kind of activities? CAPTAIN FERRIS Who knows? Disruption, getting in places for intelligence, black bag jobs. The normal stuff that youre used to doing, I'd expect. RYAN Is that right? You mean like special sanctions? CAPTAIN FERRIS No, that's certainly not any part of our activities, hahaha. RYAN Too bad, hehehe. What about pay? CAPTAIN FERRIS You'll get a hundred dollar per diem anytime you are working at the LOJ Headquarters, a minimum of three days a week. Most of it will be on the weekends, so most of your week will be free time. Five hundred to a thousand for every operation you're on, depending on the budget allotment determined by Simon, that is, Col. Reinhardt. You will be paid from LOJ funds for providing technical assistance, as an independent security contractor, and not out of this office. You can take up any issue about the arrangement with Simon. Simon makes all decisions and authorizations. Questions? RYAN Nope, that's pretty good starting pay, and the command structure is real simple. I like that. How's the chow? CAPTAIN FERRIS That's up to you, but Chicago has a reputation for good food. Okay, you will forget that we ever met and forget that this place even exists. You are not to contact me again and any written reference to me should be destroyed. If contact is absolutely necessary, it will be done through Simon and at his discretion. Understood? 000200000A1600003B7BA10,RYAN Yes, I do. I just hope there's some action in this, or I'm likely to start moonlighting. CAPTAIN FERRIS Look, Sedlack, you just came from a war with bullets. We have a real war here too. These peacenik kooks want to see our troops, our buddies, Americans, get wasted. It's almost like we are fighting the Cong here. You will do fine as soon as you get adjusted to our area of operations, and our modus operandi. You just don't believe it's real yet. CUT TO: I/E. Int of pet store - DAY Ryan is in the aquarium section. He is looking at the 100 gallon tanks; purchases one and puts it in his car. CUT TO: I/E. outside and inside his apartment - LATER Ryan parks outside his apartment and unloads the tank and takes it into his apartment. He is shown setting up the tank and putting in 6 piranhas. He feeds them some live goldfish. CUT TO: INT. inside the vfw (the barn)on the west side of chicago - NIGHT About thirty people, each with a drink in his hand. They are mostly older WWII veterans. There is only one woman, MATA DIAZ, small, dark, and good-looking. SIMON REINHARDT stands beneath a banner hung with US flags and pictures of eagles. Underneath this is an easel with the name, 'Legion Of Justice' on it, done rather badly with a marker pen. Simon reinhardt Welcome, members of the Legion of Justice, which as you know was formed to counter the activities of the so-called peaceniks, which is just another name for communists, subversives, and traitors. Our objective is to take whatever steps are legally available to hinder those opposing our nation's war of liberation in Viet Nam. Okay, here is what we're going to be doing. We will have an information component which will write letters to the newspapers and provide admirable speakers at local American Legion, VFW, Moose, Elks and such patriotic organizations. We will call TV and radio stations to denounce peaceniks who appear on their shows, that kind of activity. At some point, we will publish and distribute a newsletter. There is also a legal component being formed, which will deal with keeping the maximum legal pressure on our targeted groups and individuals, through whatever suits, motions, or complaints can be officially filed. We want to keep them up to their asses in alligator lawyers around the clock. Another element will be involved with controlling public activities, infiltrating anti-American groups, disrupting protests, staging media events, that sort of thing. Those of you who might be interested in that aspect should contact Mata Diaz, who will be coordinating it. 0002000009C60000458B9C0, Simon points to the dark, sleek young woman sitting at the back of the room, and she raises her hand politely. SIMON REINHARDT Okay, that will do it. God save America. The group disperses. Ryan walks over to Mata Diaz, who is standing next to the bar. RYAN Can I buy you a drink? Mata diaz Sure, get me a double pinch on the rocks with a splash. RYAN Make it two. The bartender fixes the drinks and they click glasses. RYAN What do you do for Simon? Mata diaz Political coordinator-- the team that goes out and joins organizations and fucks with them from the inside. What about you? RYAN I do odd jobs. MATA DIAZ Like what? RYAN You ever watch piranhas eat a live rat? Some people find it very exciting. MATA DIAZ I'm here on business tonight, but another time. RYAN Sure. Do you know the PAL gym on Wabash? MATA DIAZ Yeh, I work out there sometimes. RYAN Well, I give martial arts classes to a bunch of cops on Wednesday. Why dont you come down and meet me for dinner? MATA DIAZ Sounds good. DISSOLVE TO: INT. ryans apartment - EVENING RYAN So the LOJ turned out to be a ratfuck, a bunch of clueless turkeys playing stupid games, cheap-assed dirty little shit like dickless frat pukes. They had us smoke bomb the Bolshoi Ballet, for Christ sake, because somebody wanted to raise money protesting about them, and some politician wanted to get some attention running his fat fucking porkhole about commie faggots. It was all a ratfuck, cheesedick politicians and middle-aged classroom monitor types playing cops and robbers over small time graft and petty little powers. I kept asking myself why I didn't go independent, go underground, and just take care of business myself without dealing with the fucks at all. I still keep asking myself that. The mission that got my ass thrown into jail, and into this bullshit with Cohen, was a good example of a ratfuck from top to bottom. One evening Simon called me, and that big boob Tim Kallman to meet at The Barn,the usual briefing point for our missions. First thing Simon told us was that this particular mission paid one large, that is, a thousand bucks, which is the most we could get for a single mission. INT. the barn - EVENING SIMON REINHARDT I have received a report that a certain Catholic church in Cicero -- Our Lady of the Mount -- is hiding documents highly incriminating to the defendants in the Conspiracy Seven trial going on before Judge Julius 'The Just' Hoffman in Federal Court. Our friends want those documents. 00020000071B00004F4B715,On an easel, Simon has a layout of the church. He points to it identifying various rooms and entrances. SIMON REINHARDT The cover for this operation is going to be robbery. There will be only one priest when you get there. We believe the documents are in this room. Some of the defendants have been sleeping there. Ryan is the front man and will be dressed in a priest's frock. Others will be dressed in dark clothes. In Milwaukee there is a left wing priest who is not only a fucking Marxist, he is light in the loafers, a known cheese-packer. His name is Groppi, Father Groppi. He and the priest in Cicero, Father Picardo, are good old commie fellow travelers together and they also play pole the hole from time to time. Picardo will think Groppi sent Ryan to him as a present, so there shouldn't be any problem getting into the church. While Ryan is inside, the rest of you will conceal yourselves. Ryan will have a high-pitched whistle and when he blows it you come in and start searching. You will be armed with live ammo and if there are problems, you are authorized to use it. Does everybody have it so far? Ryan, after you gain entry you will use confidence techniques to get info about what the priest is providing to the Conspiracy Seven. I'll leave it up to you as to how you do that. RYAN I'm sure not going to fuck him, not for one large, anyway. SIMON REINHARDT If you can learn where the documents are, the place won't need to be trashed. After you've had your little talk, take out your piece and say it is really a stick-up, blow the whistle and let the others in. You shouldn't spend more than half an hour inside. Do not come straight back here. Go east and get to the Chicago city limits. Take a circuitous route back to make sure you are not being followed. Okay, does everybody understand? 0002000006640000566065E,RYAN When are we supposed to do this? SIMON REINHARDT Tomorrow night. RYAN We're supposed to rob a church on a Tuesday? That doesn't make much sense as a cover story. SIMON REINHARDT It makes sense enough. We can't wait until next Sunday and besides there are too many people around on Sundays. It's not the best story, but it's good enough. RYAN Have the cops been informed? SIMON REINHARDT No, the Cicero cops know nothing about this. Of course, the Red Squad in Chicago has been informed. So that is why you go east first to get out of Cicero. They'll wave you through. RYAN I don't like it, Simon. It smells like bullshit. SIMON REINHARDT You don't have to like it, and you don't have to take the job. This comes from higher up, Ryan, much higher up. The Attorney General of the United States has cleared this. The defendants, these so-called Yippies, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Hymie Kikeman. What they really are is Jew commies, pushing their Jew socialism, and whether they know it or not, they are promoting the ideology of our enemies. They have disrupted the country with these anti-war antics. A conviction and harsh sentence will put a stop to it. That's why these documents are so important. RYAN I still don't like it, Simon, but I didn't say I wouldn't do it. SIMON REINHARDT Okay, Tim is going to stay here with me. We have other business to conduct and I want him here when you get back. (pointing to the other two guys) This is Deke and Harris and they'll be on the team with you. RYAN One more question. You said we were authorized to use our weapons, right? Does that mean to fire on cops if we are caught? 000200000E0700005CBEE01,SIMON REINHARDT You will not allow yourselves to be taken prisoner. Understood? Be here at six p.m. to get your gear. RYAN (V.O.) The mission sounded like a setup to me, but I couldn't figure out why anybody would want to do that. If there really were documents in there, the U.S. Attorney could get a subpoena or a search warrant and get the federal goons to go get them. It just didn't add up. FADE TO: INT. at a gym - EVENING Ryan is in gi pants and black belt and is taking on people in judo moves and putting them down one after another. Mata comes in and he sees her. He finishes off a guy really bad. Then he calls the cops to attention and dismisses them. Then he really focuses on her for the first time. She is wearing a black slinky dress. She is watching him too. He walks over to her, dripping with sweat. RYAN Come on. He takes her arm and guides her to the elevator. She doesn't protest. As soon as they get into it. Ryan turns to her. RYAN Take it off. MATA DIAZ Here? RYAN Or I take it off. Her eyes are wild, and she unzips her dress, steps out of it. She is not wearing any underwear. The door opens and Ryan guides her nude body across an empty storage area. INT. storage room with bed AND SHOWER - MOMENTS LATER Ryan strips, pushes her onto the bed. He pulls out his large chromed pistol, with the front sight filed off smooth and round. He puts it into her mouth and cocks it. Then he puts it into her vagina. She cries out in fear, and then he rides her violently. He grunts a perfunctory orgasm, quickly gets up and steps into the little shower stall in the bathroom. When he comes out she is gone. DISSOLVE TO: INT. thE BARN - EVENING The team meet at The Barn. Ryan wears a long black priest's frock. Deke and Harris put on black sweaters and Navy pea coats. Ryan has his black.45. They also have a Mac-10 submachine gun, which Ryan tucks up under his frock. CUT TO: EXT/INT church - NIGHT The weather is lousy. Slushy snow. Ryan rings the bell at the rectory. A skinny little priest with his hair combed over answers the door. RYAN Father Picardo? I've been sent to see you by Father Groppi. Ryan is let in and embraced. Father picardo Why did Groppi send you to see me? Why didn't he let me know you were coming? RYAN He wanted me to speak to you before anyone else knew I was coming. Ryan is led to the priests office. FATHER PICARDO Coffee, Father? RYAN OToole. Yes, thank you, and it's Ryan, Ryan O'Toole. The priest pours from a pot that was on a warmer and he sits down behind his desk. FATHER PICARDO Now, what can I do for you, Ryan? RYAN Are we here alone? FATHER PICARDO Yes, we are. RYAN Well, Father Groppi said you were holding some records relating to the Conspiracy Seven trial in Chicago. It is important that I see them. FATHER PICARDO I wonder why he would say that. He knows we have been providing support for the defendants. We believe, as they do, of course, that this Vietnam War has to be stopped. But I certainly have no documents belonging to them. RYAN What kind of support do you provide? FATHER PICARDO Some Xeroxing, a couple of rooms for meetings, moral support. We are certainly not involved in their activities. (acting suspiciously) Tell me, Father O'Toole, who was your Dean in Seminary? Ryan pulls the Mac-10 from his frock and points it at the priest. RYAN Sorry, Padre, but I am really after your money, which I figured would be in the same place. You're just too smart for me, so get your ass up and walk with me to the door and no funny stuff. Just stay real cool. I don't want to hurt you. 00020000096D00006ABF967, Ryan walks the priest to the door opens it and toots a little whistle, and in a second Deke and Harris come in, pistols drawn. They are not masked. RYAN (said to Deke and Harris) Go through everything. (said to the priest) Where is your donation box? The priest walks with Ryan back to his office, opens a drawer, takes out a box and hands it to Ryan. FATHER PICARDO How can you expect to get any money from a church on a Tuesday? We always make a deposit first thing on Monday. RyAN What about the house money? FATHER PICARDO I keep little cash here but I will give you all that I have. I don't understand why you are doing this. You don't look so poor you need to rob a church, especially a poor one. Why don't you quit this now and I will not inform the police. RYAN Shut the fuck up and open the box. Ryan counts one hundred and twenty three dollars from the box The priest adds another forty-six from the his own wallet. Ryan stuffs the money into his pocket. Deke and Harris come back out of breath. Deke Nothing. RYAN Shit, I think we've been set up, and I don't even know for what. Let's go. Sorry about all this, Padre, but I want you to promise you won't call the police for half an hour. Remember, lying is a violation of at least one of the Ten Commandments, I'm sure, and more important, if I find out you broke your promise, I'll come back and arrange for you to meet Jesus personally. Do you understand? FATHER PICARDO Yes, I promise. Half an hour. CUT TO: EXT. at a telephone booth - EVENING Ryan is in the telephone booth. The car with the others is next to it. RYAN Simon, for Christs sake there were no records. I think we were set up. Somebody is trying to discredit us, break us up. Who the hell would that be? SIMON REINHARDT I think you're right, and I'm not happy I don't know who is behind it. Let's hope that there has been enough damage control with our cover story to stop the hound dogs from cashing us in. Meantime, I want you to hole up. Tim Kallman has a suite at the Croyden. I'll send the other guys out of town, and I'll wire you five hundred cash to hold you over. RYAN What about the thousand dollars for the job? SIMON REINHARDT When I get it, you will get it. I have to call Ferris to clear it. RYAN Simon, I better not get fucked on this, or I could get nasty. And why are Tim and I the only ones staying in town? He wasn't even on this ratfuck operation. 0002000004850000742647F,SIMON REINHARDT You and Tim are my best guys and I want you nearby. Tim's waiting for you. He knows where to go. CUT TO: INT. cROYDEN HOTEL - DAY Ryan and Tim Kallman are seated on a couch, drinking beer and watching TV. RYAN Hey, Tim were you trained at Quantico? Tim Kallman No, I was on the Olympic team. I learned marksmanship at school. RYAN Yeah, what else did you study in school? TIM KALLMAN History, and Oriental philosophy. RYAN You're not one of those neo-Buddhist weirdoes, are you? I thought you were some kind of holy-roller minister or something. TIM KALLMAN I am. The door crashes open, and six State Troopers in SWAT gear enter. They grab Ryan and Tim, put on cuffs, and then drag them out the door. RyAN What the fuck is going on? Lead Cop You are under arrest for the armed robbery of Our Lady of the Mount Church. RYAN That's in Cicero. What are State cops doing here? Lead cop That's none of your fucking business, but you can bet your ass we know exactly what we are doing. Anything you say may be used against you. You are entitled to a lawyer. If you cant afford to hire one, a lawyer will be appointed for you. FADE TO: 000200000935000078A592F,INT. jail - LATER Cop on duty Where the hell do you dirt bags get the balls to rob a Catholic Church in this town? He bangs his nightstick on the bars. Cop on duty The Cardinal was on TV saying that you should get life. If it was up to me, I'd just as soon shoot you, so you boys be real careful about not giving me any reason to do that. Im going to let you out to make your one call. He lets Ryan out and Ryan walks to a phone. He dials a number. RYAN Simon, what the hell is going on? Tim and I are at 11th and State charged with the church robbery. SIMON REINHARDT I know. It's all over the TV and radio. I don't want to talk about it on the phone. Has bail been set? RYAN Yeh, ten thousand cash for each of us. SIMON REINHARDT Ask one of the bulls when you are going to County. RYAN He said in an hour. SIMON REINHARDT Okay, I'll be over there to bail you out. Stay loose and keep your mouths shut. CUT TO: INT. processing center in the jail - MORNING Simon is paying the bond. He leaves and waits outside the exit door. Ryan and Tim exit. Simon meets them at the door leading to 26th Street. A pack of reporters converges on them, sticking cameras in their faces, flash strobes pop and reporters are throwing out questions. Reporter Did you do it? Another reporter We heard this was a Red Squad operation, is that right? SiMON REINHARDT No comment, no comment. They push their way through the crowd. RYAN Fuck you, fuck you. Reporter Did you smoke bomb the Bolshoi Ballet? Another reporter Did you beat up the War protestors at their march last week? They make their way to Simon's Mercedes and drive away. INT. of car - MOMENTS LATER RYAN So what goes, Simon? SIMON REINHARDT Well, it looks like the Company and the MI want to close down our operation. RYAN OK, no problem, but why do it this way? Why not just pay us off and tell us to go away? SIMON REINHARDT Cardinal Kelly is pissed off about this. This is Chicago where the Archdiocese has enormous power. He went on TV and said nobody should ever think that they can get away with robbing one of his churches and get away with it, and saying if Chicago PD was involved there would be hell to pay. They want somebody's head. RYAN Simon, I trust you as much as I trust anybody, which isn't much, but this was a setup from the beginning. I find it strange that you didn't know that. 0002000006F8000081D46F2,SIMON REINHARDT Ryan, I didn't know and I don't know why I didn't know, but I am going to find out. Let's wait till we get back to HQ. It's difficult to talk about this and drive. They arrive at the barn and walk in. INT. thE BARN - MOMENTS LATER RYAN Simon, let's have it. What strings are you going to pull to get me out of this, or have I been hung out to dry? SIMON REINHARDT I don't know what strings I have yet, but both MI and the Company will deny any connection to us. RYAN Well, that's just great. They hire us and then they walk away. But we have plenty of evidence that the Chicago cops were involved in all of it, and if they take us to trial the whole thing will unravel. Besides they know that Tim wasn't involved. SIMON REINHARDT I'm going to see my most senior contact now. You hang out here and I'll be back. RYAN Why can't I go too? SIMON REINHARDT You are not cleared to know that individual. Ryan, you are not the most diplomatic person and I don't want the meeting to get intimidating. DISSOLVE TO: EXT. iN A CAR - NIGHT Simon drives up to Ryans apartment and Ryan gets in the car. SIMON REINHARDT There was a misidentification of Tim, he looks enough like Harris that the priest ID'd him. Harris and Deke have both been exported. What we have been instructed to do is to give you an expense stipend, a pretty damn generous one too, and you disappear. You'll get a contact number, and we can stay in touch. RYAN Now you want me to jump bail and go into hiding? SIMON REINHARDT The jury wont convict Tim because he was misidentified. If you arent at the trial, there will be nobody to connect him to being at the church. After I discredit Father Picardo and Tim is acquitted, you can come back and then Tim will testify that you weren't there either. 0002000002F8000088C62F2,RYAN Well, I guess it sounds plausible. Simon hands Ryan a folder. SIMON REINHARDT Okay, here's the way it's going to work. This is all you need, including the thousand for the job. You are going to go away, until cleared to come back. You can go wherever you want as long as you call in. If you get arrested, they will extradite your ass right back here, so don't. When Tim's trial is over you will be told to come back to Chicago and turn yourself in. Then you can contact me. Do you understand? RYAN Yes, but I don't like it. SIMON REINHARDT Look, the CIA and the Red Squad and I don't want to be revealed as being behind this. It's over now. With me as Tim's lawyer and with you and the others gone, there is nobody to connect Tim to the church job. 000200000D0A00008BB8D04,RYAN But the priest identified him, because he looks like Harris. SIMON REINHARDT Tim was arrested only because he was with you at the Croyden. The priest can't convincingly ID him and without you sitting next to him, the jury won't connect him with the job at all. There's nothing to worry about. Okay? RYAN Well, you better be right, Simon. Tim's not going to take the fall for something he didn't do. And if something goes wrong, he will blow the whistle on a whole lot of people in this operation. There is a limit, you know. SIMON REINHARDT I'm not worried and you shouldn't be either. It's going to be a show trial for the Cardinal but he has no control over the verdict and he's going to be unhappy when it comes down. After things calm down I will get you off the hook. RYAN I'd still like to know who torpedoed us and why. SIMON REINHARDT There was no setup. It just went bad. CUT TO: INT. RYANS ROOM - LATER Ryan packs his clothes, books and old footlocker. Then he gets on the telephone. RYAN Mata. I have to disappear. I cant answer any questions now but will you go with me? Well have a blast. MATA DIAZ (O.S.) I'll be ready in an hour. Ryan packs his piranhas in a large plastic bag. CUT TO: EXT. outside ryans apartment - AFTERNOON Mata pulls up in her station wagon and he puts his stuff into it. He gets in his own car and they take off. CUT TO: I/E. MOTEL - NIGHT They pull into a motel, then enter the room together. INT. mOTEL - LATER matA DIAZ So are you going to tell me what this is all about. RYAN Simon told me to split and only come back after he gets Tim off the hook. He gave me a CIA contact number, IDs, and money. MATA DIAZ Well, your lucky I had no holds on me in Chicago and I was ready for an adventure. Where are we going? RYAN Well head back to New Mexico. MATA DIAZ I like New Mexico. Ryan and Mata take a shower together and have sex. Cut to: EXT. in matas car - DAY Leaving his car, they head west. And make their way across the country to New Mexico, arriving in Truth or Consequences, NM at an old broken down Radium Springs Hotel. They are met by Ron, a middle aged gay man with long gray hair. Ron Jeeezus. Is it who I believe it is. RYAN Himself. RON Fuck, what are you doing here. RYAN Moving in, I hope. RON Are you kidding RYAN Oh, by the way, this is Mata. No, Im not kidding. I need a place to hole up for a while and a friend who doesnt ask too many questions. RON No problem. Come on in. Bring your stuff. JUMP CUT TO: INT. hotel - DAY The hotel lobby is filled with Indian artifacts. They move upstairs where they view several broken down rooms. RoN This room is okay. Guy was murdered here in the 30s. RyaN Ron, you wouldnt happen to have an empty fish tank? I know you used to keep fish. RON Dont tell me youre still dragging your piranhas around. RYAN Yeh. RON As a matter of fact I do, in the lobby. Hey, theres a bathhouse in the back, if you guys want to get the dust off. FADE IN: INT. bathouse - LATER Ryan and Mata are in the bathouse, a long concrete room with a row of coffin-like concrete tanks. Ryan turns on a valve and the whole place fills with steam and gushing hot water. Mata and Ryan start fucking. CuT TO: INT. the other side of a wall. - MOMENTS LATER Ron is seen looking at Mata and Ryan through the peephole and jerking off. 00020000054E000098BC548,CUT TO: INT. INSIDE HOTEL LOBBY - DAY Ryan and Ron are sitting around talking and smoking a joint. RON You know we could make some money pushing dope. RYAN Yeh, how? RON You can buy it cheap in Mexico but the problem is getting it past the roadblocks at Las Cruces. RYAN Yeh, but getting it past is risky. Ron Theres no roadblock on the railroad, and it goes right by here. We could build a little putt putt to ride the rails to someplace north of the blocks and unload it into a truck. I can handle the deals. I have friends in Mexico, and friends in Albuquerque. I need someone like you to build the thing and do the travelling down the railroad. dissolve TO: INT. HOTEL GARAGE - NIGHT Ryan is holding a welding torch, and is putting the rail car together. DISSOLVE TO: EXT. next to the railroad track - EVENING The northbound night train passes. Ryan and Ron pick up the rail car and put it on the track, load up two suitcases, and Ryan starts the engine and takes off into the night. He enjoys riding along the track through the night. At some point, he sees Rons truck ahead at a desert crossroad. He stops, they unload the suitcases, take the car off the track, watch the southbound train go past, then put the car on the track, and Ryan takes off following the train. Cut TO: INT. HOTEL LOBBY - DAY Ron and Ryan are sitting counting cash. 0002000007A500009E0479F,CUT TO: INT. sAMS OFFICE - DAY Sam is sitting in his office with his feet up on his desk and he is leaning back looking toward the ceiling. SAM COHEN Tim Kallman's trial was a classic example of conflict of interest. Tim's lawyer was Simon Reinhardt. Nobody had more to hide than Simon, and no one was in a better position to control Tim. There were only two witnesses, the priest and a cop who says he saw them at The Barn that night. Simon had to maneuver the jury to convict Tim, but he had to make it not obvious. With Tim believing he had done everything he could, Tim would continue to cooperate through the appeal process and never leak his involvement or the cops or MI or CIA or the White House. In the event something went wrong and Tim started squealing, well, as a convicted robber of a Catholic Church, who would believe him? Why kill somebody when you can discredit him even more convincingly? It was more difficult, but a lot less risky than a hit. Dissolve TO: INT. courtroom - DAY Simon addresses the jury. Tim Kallman is sitting at the defense table. SIMON REINHARDT As you know, having heard his Honor read the indictment, this is a case of robbery. It is alleged that my client was at this robbery. Tim, please stand up. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tim Kallman, employed as a security consultant. You will learn that two witnesses will identify my client. The defense maintains that these people are mistaken. On that basis, is there anything about this case that would make it difficult for you to sit on this jury? Raise hands if you would say yes. Okay, nobody has a problem with that. Raise your hands if you promise to give my client a fair trial. Everybody? Good. One more question. Will you wait until all of the evidence is in and not make any decisions until you get in the jury room and discuss the case there? Will you raise your hands if you agree with that? Okay, fine. Your Honor, the defense accepts the panel. 0002000005560000A5A3550,Simon sits down and the prosecutor rises. Prosecutor The state accepts the panel. The clerk swears in the panel. Judge romiti Okay, we will hear opening statements The prosecutor addresses the jury. PROSECUTOR This was a Catholic Church, and a Catholic priest who were robbed at gunpoint. The two witnesses for the prosecution will identify Tim Kallman as one individual involved in this robbery. These are more than dependable. The priest had repeated eye contact with the robbers and the police officer is trained to memorize people's faces. The prosecutor sits down and Simon stands and speaks to the jury. SIMON REINHARDT The testimony will show that the priest was highly agitated and that all of his contact was with a person named Ryan Sedlack, who has disappeared. The police officer didn't have his glasses on and had poor eyesight. JUDGE ROMITI Your witness, Mr. Prosecutor PROSECUTOR We call Father Picardo. Father Picardo comes through the courtroom door and stands before the clerk and takes his oath. PROSECUTOR Do you see one of the individuals who was involved in the robbery at your church? FATHER PICARDO (pointing at Tim) Thats him. The prosecutor sits down and Simon rises to cross-examine. SIMON REINHARDT Father, you were in a highly distraught and agitated state from the time you saw that gun until they all left the church, right? 00020000079B0000AAF3795,FATHER PICARDO Yes, God help me, I certainly was. Not only that, I couldn't sleep for a month without medication. Simon sits down. PROSECUTOR We call officer Grabold. The cop comes up to the clerk and is sworn in. PROSECUTOR When you were patrolling the area of the VFW on the evening of the robbery, what did you see? Officer grabold I saw a black van park in front of the VFW building and saw three guys get out. One wore a priest's frock and the other two guys had navy pea coats. One of the guys that got out of the van was the Defendant. (pointing at Tim) Simon rises to cross-examine. SIMON REINHARDT Officer I have your report here that says you have poor vision and are required to wear glasses at all times. Is that right? Officer grabold Yes. SIMON REINHARDT And in your grand jury testimony you stated that you didn't have your glasses on when you made this identification. Is that right? OFFiCER GRABOLD Yes, but I just need glasses to read, actually. SIMON REINHARDT Officer, it was night time when you saw what you say you saw, right? OFFiCER GRABOLD Yes. SIMON REINHARDT And it was dark too, right? No moon, right? PROSECUTOR I object. It's a compound question. JUDGE ROMITI Yes. One question at a time, Mr. Reinhardt." SIMON REINHARDT It was dark, right? OFFiCER GRABOLD Well, there was a light at the entrance to that VFW building and that's where I saw them. Simon sits down and the prosecutor rises. PROSECUTOR I dont have any more witnesses and we rest our case. SIMON REINHARDT Your Honor I need a thirty-minute break. JUDGE ROMITI Okay, Court is adjourned for thirty minutes. Simon and Tim go into a conference room to talk. TIM KALLMAN Fuck, Simon, I need to testify. SIMON REINHARDT Why would you want to do that? No. You can only hurt yourself. TIM KALLMAN Because they are going to find me guilty in a flash. They're going to believe their witnesses because we don't have anybody saying anything different. 000200000A250000B288A1F,SIMON REINHARDT Look, Tim, I've been telling you this case has been taken care of by our friends. I know what I am talking about. The verdict is going to be not guilty. TIM KALLMAN Well, you'd better be right. I know a lot about a lot of things and I've kept my mouth shut until now. They go back to the courtroom. The judge and his entourage come in and he calls the court to order. JUDGE ROMITI Armed robbery is a taking of something of value by force sufficient to cause fear on the part of the victim and with the aid of a deadly weapon. DISSOLVE TO: The jury goes out. FADE IN: The jury returns and seats themselves. JUDGE ROMITI The defendant will rise and the clerk will receive the verdict from the foreman. Tim and Simon stand. The clerk receives the verdict form from the jury foreman. She hands it to the judge, who, after reading it, returns it to the clerk. Clerk We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of the charge of armed robbery. The Judge bangs his gavel to quiet the reporters stirring about and said. JuDGE ROMITI Mr. Kallman, you will remain on bond until your sentencing, which will be two weeks from today at nine a.m. You will be contacted by a member of the probation department who will submit the pre-sentence report to me. Court is adjourned. Tim turns to Simon. TIM KALLMAN You double crossed me. SIMON REINHARDT No Tim, someone double crossed me, and when I find out who, I'm going to take him out. Don't worry, Tim, it's easier to fix three judges on the appellate court than it is to fix twelve jurors. Something must have gone wrong. I will check with my friends and get back to you about why this happened. But don't worry. Even after the sentencing, I will be able to keep you out of jail with a bond pending appeal. CUT TO: INT. SAM COHENS OFFICE - DAY SAM COHEN Simon could have testified himself that Tim wasn't at the church, that he was in fact with Simon at the time, in the LOJ headquarters office. He could have brought in the guy that looked like Tim. At the least he could have allowed Tim to testify on his own behalf. But all that would have disclosed the operation and that couldn't be allowed. Tim got five to ten. That meant he had to do at least four, and could be paroled for the rest. They could hold him for the entire ten, if he was a bad boy in prison. Tim still believed Simon had the connections to get him off the hook. He still didn't have a clue what was going on. CUT TO: INT. federal Office - DAY In a paneled office with US Flag, a senior-looking official in white shirt and narrow tie talks on the telephone. Spook 000200000C1D0000BCA7C17,I understand that argument on the appeal is going on right now? Voice (V.O.) Yes. SPOOK Well, the plan we discussed is to be authorized. Reinhardt has outlived his usefulness. The umbrella man will take it from here. Understood? Voice (V.O.) Yes, I understand completely. CUT TO: EXT. outside in a park - DAY Simon is watching his little league team practice at the high school with his back against a tree. A tall man in a trench coat walks slowly toward the tree. As he walks past Simon, he pokes him on the shoulder with the point of his folded umbrella, withdraws it and walks away. Simon grabs his heart and immediately dies. CUT TO: INT. SaMS OFFICE - dAY SaM COHEN Tim's appeal was denied, and he finally began to realize Simon's duplicity. His mail order business was doing well, and he was on his way to becoming a successful businessman, if he could stay out of jail. He didn't know what to do. The one person who could clear him was Ryan, and nobody had heard a word from him. Presumably, the only one who knew where Ryan was hiding out was Simon, and he obviously wasn't telling. CUT TO: INT. hOTEL LOBBY - DAY Ryan is lying on a couch watching his piranhas RYAN Life in New Mexico was pleasant, not exciting. I let my hair grow, got into smoking some of the product, and found I liked being relaxed and not giving a shit. We were making money, having a good time, and we got sloppy. Mata comes into the room. MATA DIAZ Ive made some contacts back in Illinois, Ryan. They want me to start doing some traffic. RYAN Dont you think we are getting into this a little too heavy, for people who are supposed to be hiding out? MATA DIAZ Come on. Its easy and I like the money were stashing for our trip to the islands. So Im leaving back to Chicago, and Ill get in touch with you as soon as I get there. Come on. CUT TO: INT. POLICE STATION CHICAGO - EVENING Detective Okay, are you going to come clean and let us know your contacts? BlACK DUDE Whats in it for me? Detective You know, well go easy on you. Mata sent you here didnt she? BLACK DUDE Okay. Mata and the dude Ryan Sedlack. Hes down in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Shes here. They bring it on the railroad. And then up here. I dont understand why she would send me to you guys. We had a good thing going. The Detective makes a phone call. Detective Albuquerque Drug Task Force? (beat) A reliable snitch just told us that there is an operation south of you bringing marijuana through your checkpoints on the railroad track. There names are Sedlack and Diaz. DISSOLVE TO: EXT. Outside the hotel nEXT TO THE RAILROAD TRACK - NIGHT The place is staked out by several police watching Ron and Ryan bring out the rail car and load up the suitcases. Ryan starts the engine and starts moving down the line. COP ON DUTY (over a walkie talkie) Okay, they are going down the line now. Another cop (V.O.) Roger. DISSOLVE TO: EXT. down the line - lATER Ryan meets Ron at their usual place and several squad cars converge on them with lights and sirens. Cops emerge from their cars with their guns drawn. 0002000005AA0000C8BE5A4,Cop Get down on your stomachs. Put your hands on top of your heads. Ryan and Ron are cuffed and thrown into squad cars. CUT TO: INT. jail - LATER The cops take Ryans fingerprints. AGENT compares two finger print pages. He gets on the phone. AGENT This is Agent Horder from the Fingerprint Bureau. On that print you sent us. We have a match for him and a warrant for armed robbery out of Chicago. Well send it out immediately. CUT TO: INT. jAIL - MORNING Two Chicago cops enter the jail. Show the JAILER their identification and ask for Ryan Sedlack. Jailer looks at a file. Jailer Yep, he waived extradition. Just sign this paper and well get him. Cop signs paper. Ryan arrives. They uncuff him and the Chicago cops cuff him and take him to a car outside. EXT. iN A CAR - mOMENTS LATER The two cops and Ryan drive off. Ryan You guys are Chicago cops. Police officer Attached to States Attorneys Office. He wants to talk to you. RYAN About what? POLICE OFFICER Thats for you to find out. Now shut up. CUT TO: INT. inside a hotel room - NIGHT Ryan is shackled to a radiator pipe in one bedroom and the two cops in the other. VOICE (V.O.) (over a walkie talkie) The Irishman is on the main floor. One of the State's Attorney's bodyguards knocks on the door, and a well dressed man comes in. States attorney carey I want to talk to Mr. Sedlack alone. Take off his cuffs. POLICE OFFICER Sir, are you sure? This guy could be dangerous. 000200000C960000CE62C90,STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Do as I said. POLICE OFFICER Well be outside the door. The police officer takes off the cuffs and the two exit. Carey sits on the bed facing Ryan. STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Here's the deal. I don't know how much of this you know so bear with me. Timothy Kallman was convicted of armed robbery of the church over a year ago. He recently lost his appeal. His attorney Simon Reinhardt is dead. Had a heart attack a few months ago. I was recently elected State's Attorney, the first Republican to hold the office, and as such, I received information that the Legion of Justice was a front group for an outfit in the Chicago Police Department called the Red Squad, and for other governmental agencies as well. I have a Special Grand Jury investigating all of this. At the same time The Daily News is running a series of stories about it. I've been in touch with Tim's new lawyer, who has explained to me that Reinhardt failed to adequately represent him at the trial because he wanted to prevent revelation of his own involvement in the church robbery. He says that Tim wasn't at the robbery. He says that you would corroborate this. Is that right? RYAN What's in it for me? STATES ATTORNEY CAREY If it turns out Tim's story is true and you would testify to that, and also to your involvement with the Legion and the Red Squad, the charges against you would be dismissed and I would give you immunity for your testimony. (he spreads his hands and smiles) Now tell me the truth. RYAN It's true. Tim was with Simon at The Barn, the VFW post. He wasn't anywhere near the church. There was a guy by the name of Harris who was at the church and he looked a lot like Tim. StATES ATTORNEY CAREY That's what I thought. Did Simon have anything to do with you leaving Chicago? RYAN Simon made me leave and he gave me the means to live on and a CIA contact. STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Okay, that's all I needed to hear. You will be taken to court, bond will be arranged, and you will stay here at this hotel with one of my men. There are people who might want to harm you if they knew you were talking to me. CUT TO: INT. INside courtroom - MORNING Ryan is inside the courtroom with the two cops. Magistrate This is a bond hearing in the State versus Sedlack case. Whats the States Attorneys position. Assistant states attorney Well go for a $10,000 personal recognizance bond. Magistrate Were talking about a guy who it is alleged robbed a Catholic Church and then skipped out on bond and your office is asking for a signature bond? ASSISTANT STATES ATTORNEY Yes, sir. MAGISTRATE Well, I dont have any choice then. The bond will be $10,000 personal recognizance. BACK TO: INT. INSIDE A HOTEL ROOM - dAY The cops take Ryan back to the hotel room. They are all sitting around when the telephone rings. POLICE OFFICER Listens and hands phone to Ryan. VOICE (V.O.) Ryan? This is Tim Kallman. Can we meet somewhere? CUT TO: INT. BAR AT MAYORS ROW-DAY The police are seated at the bar talking to Melvin Pollard while Ryan and Tim talk at a table. RYAN I have a lot to talk to you about. First of all, I'm sorry about your conviction. Simon told me to split. He said it was part of his fix to get you off. 0002000006C00000DAF26BA,TIM KALLMAN Well, I'm sure glad they found you, or I wouldn't have a chance of getting this conviction reversed. I've got a great lawyer set up to represent you. RYAN I hope he is better than the last lawyer you had. Do I know him? TIM KALLMAN His name is Sam Cohen. RYAN Never heard of him. TIM KALLMAN Well don't worry. He's good, has a reputation as a killer in the courtroom. I'm going to arrange the meeting. I'll see you tomorrow and we can talk more. Hey, Ryan, I knew you wouldn't just abandon me. I didn't think Simon would either, but he really fucked both of us over. I guess somebody really fucked him over, too, and I don't even want to know who. Anyway, if you can help me expose all of this crap, I think I may have a chance of getting this turned around. Are you game? RYAN Sure. I would have testified then that you weren't at the church if Simon hadn't told me to leave Chicago. So, sure, I will testify to that now. TIM KALLMAN Swell, see you tomorrow. Tim leaves. (Ryan mutters to himself.) RYAN If this fuck Cohen turns out to be a ringer, I'll kill him. Ryan nods to Melvin Pollard and he and the cops leave. CUT TO: EXT. outside sheila starrs apartment - DAY Sheilas dog bolts out the front door as she leaves the apartment, and runs half way down the block before she could entice him with a bone and slip the leash around his big head. It is cold late fall day in Chicago. She hurries down the street and catches the bus. The bus is packed and there are no seats available. She maneuvers toward the middle and notices a small oriental man. He has an odd look on his face. Suddenly, his arm moves toward his coat pocket. He has a large furry squirrel tail protruding from his pocket. 00020000048B0000E1AC485,SHEILA STARR (V.O.) Moving to the Chicago from Tallahassee was a big change. I freelanced as a secretary in public relations, television, publishing, and law firms. I met Sam Cohen at a Bar luncheon. I wasn't wild about lawyers, usually found them obnoxious, but Sam was different. I just knew. I liked his wild-eyed look, his style and rapport. I knew he was a Taurus, but I couldn't picture him being like the Ferdinand the Bull he said he was and that he just liked smelling the flowers. He should have been an Aries because he was like a curly-headed little ram, jumping from rock to rock, always ready to get head to head with anybody. He was extreme, and so was I. I went to work for him, even though the pay was not as good as the large firms. I loved Sam right from the start, which is probably the biggest reason why I have never permitted any kind of romantic relationship between us. Sheila gets off the bus and goes to a ratty old building in central downtown, close to the courts and City and County Hall. She enters the revolving door and greets the doorman JUAN. ShEILA STARR Buenos dias. Juan Jello Chiquita, Como esta? SHEILA STARR 00020000063F0000E631639,Esta fria. JUAN Si, no esta Puerto Rico. Sheila gets in the elevator, pushes a button and gets out on the 13th floor and pulls out her keys in front of suite 1313. She opens the door to the office, switches on the lights and makes a pot of coffee. She sits at her desk. She notices on her day planner the name Tim K. SHEILA STARR (V.O.) I met Tim at Mel's bar one evening in the course of exchanging some papers or something, and we ended up talking half the night over snifters of liquor and a box of chocolates Sam had given me for 'Secretaries Day' from the hotel gift shop. He had already been selected by the FBI, and was scheduled for entrance to the FBI academy upon his graduation, when he was badly injured in a game. In the course of his treatment, they discovered that he had a congenital nervous disorder, something like Lou Gehrig's Disease, which disqualified him from both the FBI and military service. I went to the YMCA to see him work out. Looking at him was almost more than I could bear. He wore his gi pants and no shirt, and he would do these slow moves like Bruce Lee stuff, breathing smooth and hard, and pretty soon he would break out into a sweat, and he smelled so good my nipples would knot right up like he was sucking them. I just wanted to go over and put my mouth all over him, just to lick and suck all over him, and taste the salt and the musk of him. CUT TO: INT. sheilas apartment - NIGHT Sheila and Tim are on the couch sipping wine. SHEILA STARR You really smell good. TIM KALLMAN Your not so bad yourself. SHEILA STARR Do you want to fuck me. 0002000007780000EC6A772,TIM KALLMAN From the first time I saw you. SHEILA STARR Well. They bend toward each other and kiss. DISSOLVE TO: I/E. on dearborn street walking to office and then going in through revolving doors - DAY Sam Cohen is walking up Dearborn Street from the Federal Building, heading north toward his office. sAM COHEN I had just made an appearance before another one of the many imperial judges who occupied the Federal Court with their enormous courtrooms, done in mahogany, with their million dollar budgets and all of their assistants, who bowed and scraped and paid homage to their hero, the signer of their pay vouchers. Judge George ('I Spy') Britain, a light black-man originally from the American Virgin Islands, was a big pain in my ass. He made me come to Court on this case every week, whether there was anything to discuss or not and I was not in a good mood. I had told him that I thought these status reports were a waste of time because I wanted to go to trial. He had a fit, yelled at me and walked off the bench. Me and my big mouth. He will tell all the other judges and they will all get on my ass. Sam goes through the revolving door at his building and Juan is there looking at the elevator control board. SAM COHEN Whatcha know, Juan? Juan Not too much, joost a little bit about eleebators, Meester Cochan. sAM COHEN I bet you know a lot more than that. JUAN Quizas, a leetle. SAM COHEN How many kids you say you have? JUAN Cinco. Maybe one more, but (beat) ) I don't know. SAM COHEN Oh, mucho macho hombre, huh? Juan pushes a button and the elevator door opens and Sam steps inside and pushes a button. He gets off on the 13th floor and opens the door to suite 1313. FADE IN: INT. SamS OFFICE - DAY The office has an interior locked door. Sheila buzzes Sam in. Sams inner office has a plain desk and a leather sofa in front. The desk is piled with files. Sheila brings coffee. 0002000006070000F3DC601,SAM COHEN Thanks. Whazup, Lil Sheila? ShEILA STARR I saw the strangest thing on the bus, a little oriental man holding a squirrel in his coat pocket, keeping it from getting away, What do you think he was going to do with it? SAM COHEN What else? Eat it, of course. Sam sits down on his chair and Sheila sits down on the couch, rummaging through a stack of files. SAM COHEN (V.O.) (he stares at her) With her big tits and her big wide pelvis, not much taller than five feet, she wasn't my favorite type. I usually like slim, boyish women, at least from a sex standpoint. She was very flexible, always doing Yoga crap. It made me think of the Kama Sutra and all of the positions that can be done with flexible women. I always resisted the urge. I had learned a lesson put crudely by my father that you don't shit where you eat. I always thought the metaphor was a bit stretched when it came to fucking, but the point was clear enough. I needed the good secretary that she was. I needed somebody strong enough to be an effective sounding board, and let's face it, I needed a friend. I was fucking Betty again, so it wasn't like I was staying home yanking my crank. She's always had plenty of boyfriends, and girlfriends too for all I know. Hell, I've even noticed her looking google-eyed at Mel Pollard, fer Christ sake. I have a hard time trying to imagine that ugly lizard humping her, but one thing I have learned in my life about sex is that there is no accounting for taste. And if he was fucking her, he picked a good one to fuck. 0002000009BA0000F9DD9B4,DISSOLVE TO: Tim Kallman and Ryan Sedlack enter the office. Sheila brings them into my office, and set us all up with coffee. They are all seated. TIM KALLMAN Betty Lincoln recommended you. Shes trying to help us. I've got a lawyer, but Ryan needs help. We are both providing information to the Grand Jury investigating official involvement in a series of violent acts committed by the Legion of Justice. The State's Attorney gave us both immunity. Here it is. I've been wrongfully convicted of the armed robbery of a Catholic Church in Cicero. I received a 5-10 year sentence. It was appealed and I lost. The State's Attorney wants me to file a Post Conviction Proceeding to overturn the conviction based on newly discovered evidence. He will confess error at the end of an evidentiary hearing that will reveal all of the dirty tricks that were done and the involvement of the cops and all the stuff that the Legion of Justice did. That's where Ryan comes in. He was a codefendant with me in the robbery case. RyAN I was told by Simon Reinhardt, who was running the LOJ, and who was also Tim's lawyer and mine at the time, to skip bail and get out of town. (beat) Before I get to this, I need to know whether you will represent me. What we are all talking about here has to be kept secret, and I don't have that privilege until you become my lawyer, right? SAM COHEN That's right, so, I guess we have to talk about money. I need a five thousand dollar non-refundable retainer to get into this plus an hourly of one hundred and fifty with the retainer to be used as a credit against billings. Ryan pulls a huge silver turquoise bracelet off of his arm. RyAN This is worth a lot more than five thousand. I only want you to hold it for a couple of weeks. I will get the cash by then. If you sell it first I'll kill you. Do we have a deal? SAM COHEN Well, okay, but I need the money. You have two weeks to come up with it. RyAN Simon told me to get out of town. He said it would help Tim at his trial. I reminded him that Tim wasn't on that job. It was Harris, who looks like Tim's twin. Tim was planning another operation at headquarters, with Simon at the time. He said that was why he wanted me to get away because the jury wouldn't be able to identify Tim. I said I would testify that Tim wasn't involved. I was willing to take the fall because I figured my spook connects would bail me out and reassign me. He said not to worry about it, that his friends would work it out. 0002000003CD000103913C7,SAM COHEN Okay, Ryan Ill meet with you tomorrow at this time. Sam stands up and shakes hands with Ryan and Tim and they exit. After they leave, Sam comes out of his office. He shows Sheila the bracelet on his arm. ShEILA STARR Wow, that's quite a hunk. You were in there a long time. SAM COHEN Yeh, the bracelet is security for five thousand non-refundable. Draft the usual fee agreement tomorrow. One fifty hourly, and Ryan Sedlack is my client. SHEILA STARR Well, I hope he comes up with some cash. We can't eat silver and turquoise, delicious as it looks. Jeez, Sam, it's so big I could wear it around my neck. SAM COHEN Lets get a drink. Im wound up. They put on their coats and head out the office and down the elevator. CuT TO: I/E. outside the revolving door of Mayors row - DAY It is a restaurant-bar decorated in turn of the century fake opulence. Mel Pollard works the bar. SAM COHEN A double shot of Black Bushmill's and a Guinness to chase it. 00020000086E00010758868,MELVIN POLLARD Feeling suicidal and poetic today, Sam? SAM COHEN (shoving a twenty dollar bill on the bar) Fuck you, ya Mick bastard. Keep the change, you look like you could use it. Mel pulls it off the bar with a smooth move. MEL POLLARD And what's for the little lady tonight? SHEILA STARR Little lady, for Christ's sake! How about a 'Fuck You Eye-Opener' Mel. MEL POLLARD One Bloody Mary, extra Tabasco coming up. Betty Lincoln walks up to the bar, takes Sam to a table. MELVIN POLLARD You look gorgeous, Betty. BETTY LINCOLN A compliment will get you everything, big boy. (to Sam) Did you meet with Sedlack? SAM COHEN Yeh, I just got through talking to him. What's the deal? BETTY LINCOLN The Daily News is going to put this Red Squad thing on the front page. Rob Warden thinks he's going to get the Pulitzer for it. I'm helping him on the Federal end. Besides, the new State's Attorney thinks this deal is his ticket to stardom. He is the first Republican ever elected to the job in Cook County. He wants to take on the police department with this Legion of Justice deal and I think the Feds are involved all the way to the White House. SAM COHEN Just what the President needs now that he's under attack for that Watergate affair. BETTY LINCOLN Right, and there is that weasel White House spook G. Gordon Dildy, who apparently has been doing all kinds of weird things to kill the anti-war movement, right from the top. SAM COHEN Okay, I knew that. So? BETTY LINCOLN So Tim Kallman's lawyer is going to file a post conviction petition to have his church robbery conviction overturned. SAM COHEN Yeh, I am supposed to represent Sedlack at the evidentiary hearing on that. BETTY LINCOLN Well, I don't know if you know it yet but Ryan has been given immunity on the church deal and the charges against him have been dropped. The State's Attorney is going to confess error at the end of the hearing against Tim. The testimony is going to be that Simon Reinhardt, who was Tim's attorney at the time of his conviction, maneuvered to get Tim found guilty in order to protect his own involvement with the Legion of Justice and those it fronted for. 0002000009BA00010FC09B4,Your client is the main 'independent' witness about how that was done. It's not going to be easy though. The Mayor has appointed special private attorneys to represent the Red Squad cops who have been subpoenaed to testify. They are hell bent on covering up the cops' involvement. The Mayor was at a press conference and they asked him about it. He said, 'They made me do it.' But none of the dummies asked him who 'they' were." SAM COHEN Wow, that is some story. Thanks for the referral and the inside info. I hope I can make some money off of this. So far all I have is a hunk of turquoise that I can't sell. But maybe I can get some PR out of it. Who are the lawyers? BETTY LINCOLN There's Harry Bushmaker and Warren Wolf. SAM COHEN Shit, the master fixer and his student. What about the Judge? BETTY LINCOLN Gino Romiti. SAM COHEN Oh, fuck, my law school Dean. Smart, sharp as a fucking rocket scientist, and up to his ass connected to the mob. We could be in trouble. BETTY LINCOLN You don't know the half of it. It might be Warren is representing the same judge in an IRS tax investigation, but that hasn't been confirmed at this point. SAM COHEN Good selection of lawyers for the other side, huh? BETTY LINCOLN Yep. SAM COHEN What do you know about Tim's lawyer? BETTY LINCOLN Honest guy, but he is old and sick and not as sharp as he used to be. He was one of the top criminal guys at one time and an independent himself, if you know what I mean. SAM COHEN Anything else? BETTY LINCOLN Yeh, your client, Ryan Sedlack, was attached to the Phoenix Program in Nam. He was an assassin, to put it bluntly, a cold-blooded killer. He raises piranhas for a hobby. SAM COHEN Okay, anything else? BETTY LINCOLN No, but if anything comes my way, I'll let you know. SAM COHEN Hey, I've got a new lawyer joke for you. BETTY LINCOLN Shoot. SAM COHEN Three professionals get together, a doctor, an engineer, and a lawyer, and they pose a question, 'which of the professions came first.' The doctor says, 'We did because we made Eve out of Adam's rib.' The engineer says, 'No, we came before that. We brought order to the chaos of the universe.' 'Not even close,' says the lawyer, 'We were first because we created the chaos.' They laugh and click glasses and down their drinks and Mel brings over a last round. BeTTY LINCOLN I just rented a cozy little apartment in the Lincoln Park area and finally unpacked the last of the boxes the day before yesterday. My daughters with her Aunt. 0002000002FE000119742F8,SAM COHEN How about we finish these cocktails and you show me your new digs? BETTY LINCOLN Why don't we do that? CUT TO: INT. bettys apartment - LATER Sam takes off his jacket and tie. BETTY LINCOLN Make yourself comfortable. I'll be back in a flash. There's a little reefer in that brown box on the bookshelf. Roll us up a doobie, ok? SAM COHEN You got it. Sam walks over to the big bay window and closes the drapes. The lights are low. He surveys her bookshelf then sits down. He sniffs the marijuana. SAM COHEN Smells good. Betty comes into the living room in a maroon silk robe. BETTY LINCOLN Well? What would you like? She dims lights and turns on music. She brings snifters and Cognac, and a little box with a joint. They drink, flirt, toke. 0002000001AA00011C6C1A4,BETTY LINCOLN How about a dance? She pulls him to his feet, presses herself against him, and they dance, and immediately become erotic, peeling the clothes and fucking madly on the couch. In a little while Sam wakes up and checks his watch. He disentangles himself from Betty and gets up. Betty looks up at him. SAM COHEN Gotta go. I needed that. I'll be in touch. You are some woman. Why did we ever split up, Betty? 00020000064400011E1063E,DISSOLVE TO: iNT. States Attorney Careys Office - DAY Tim Kallman's lawyer, Lider, and Tim and Sam and Ryan gather in front of Careys desk on a couch. StATES ATTORNEY CAREY I've asked you to come here for two reasons. First, I have been getting testimony in the Grand Jury Investigation probe into the Red Squad activities that makes me suspicious of the validity of Mr. Kallman's conviction. Second, I have read the transcripts of the trial and the briefs in the Appellate Court. As a result, I believe the conviction was wrongful. As you know, I can't get into the Grand Jury matter because those proceedings are secret but suffice it to say, Mr. Lider, that I want to help your client. Lider We can use all the help we can get. What kind of help are you offering? STATES ATTORNEY CAREY You need to file a post-conviction petition alleging, among other things, that you have newly discovered evidence which came to light after the conviction, which, if it had been revealed at trial, would have resulted in a not guilty verdict. Also, you need to allege that attorney Reinhardt had a conflict of interest with your client. Now after you receive a hearing date, you must issue subpoenas to all of the Red Squad cops. Those names have been published in the Daily News series so that's of public record. When we get to the police officers' testimony, you will do a perfunctory direct examination. Name, job, length of service in police department, whether they were members of the Red Squad and then you will sit down and I will cross-examine them about the matters I want to find out about. 0002000006BA0001244E6B4,(said to Tim) Mr. Kallman, I believe your story that you weren't present at the Our Lady of the Mount Church when the break in occurred. That's not to say that you are guiltless considering all that the LOJ did and in which you participated. But that is another matter that shouldn't cloud my judgment in this case. Now that Mr. Sedlack has returned to corroborate your story, the conviction should be reversed. I am even prepared to confess error. I will also give you immunity from anything concerning your illegal activities with the Legion of Justice. It is pretty clear to me that Reinhardt used you to hide his own activities. SAM COHEN My client Mr. Sedlack, though out on bail, is still charged with the crime and his testimony would incriminate him. He will need immunity and the charge dropped. Also, he will need protection, another identity, some money and a place to hole up-other than the Sheraton hotel where you have him now. Also, he feels that he would be better off without a bodyguard. He can take care of himself. You know his life is in jeopardy, Mr. Carey and he doesn't trust the police. There are many people who don't want to see him testify. STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Certainly, that will all be done. He'll have to stay at the hotel until we can get him an apartment but I'll pull the guard off right away. The assistance will start on the date the petition is filed. In the meantime, he needs to stay out of sight as much as possible, and out of trouble. SAM COHEN Great, Ryan wants to help in any way he can. But I am curious about your motives because going after the police in Chicago is like going up against the Mayor, the Pope, and Godzilla combined. Aren't you taking a big chance? 000200000AD400012B02ACE,STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Perhaps, but politics aside, I would like to think of myself as a fair and honest prosecutor. Now you boys don't give me those nasty looks, I still think such a thing is possible, and I still care about things like that. Mr. Lider knows he has had my respect and friendship for many years, and I think he will back me up on that. Like I said, I truly believe Simon Reinhardt, who was involved in his own cover-up and was in an indisputable conflict of interest, railroaded Tim. I knew Reinhardt well also, of course, and personally always hated the son of a bitch, even if he was a Republican. From the political angle, I think getting to the bottom of this Federal connection with the Red Squad will be a feather in my cap if I decide to move upwards in the political chain. So you get the post conviction petition filed as soon as possible, and let's hope you pull a fair judge from the lottery. I can't be seen as having any influence in the selection process, of course. There's no telling what the reaction will be when the cops get the subpoenas. With me a Republican, I expect the Mayor might fight this just to have an issue. Well, fuck him, he can kiss my Irish arse. The meeting conclude, everybody shakes hands, and they leave. FADE OUT. EXT. outside the civic center - DAY Sam is walking towards the building. SAM COHEN (V.O.) The Civic Center was a quarter of a block from my office. It had replaced the old turn of the century rococo styled artistic courthouse just a few years ago. I was sad to see the old one go, as I thought it had class. The new building occupied a corner of a square block plaza the walk of which was black speckled granite blocks. Done in the Mies VanderRohe steel and glass style so prevalent in those days, it was thirty-five stories high. The frame of the building used special steel that had oxidized over the years and turned from red to a dark rust color. The plaza contains a most startling Picasso sculpture I call The Ladyhorse, which used the same steel as the building frame and had also turned to blackish rust. It stands about twenty feet high and I always thought it looks like the face of a horse, but the artsy fruitsy scholar types say its the face of a woman, presumably one of Picasso's wives. I never heard Picasso's side of the story, but I always thought was a fucking joke. Woman or horse, the kids used it for a slide. The Civic Center was my home away from home, my office away from my office. It was the theater where I did my act, the martial field on which I fight my battles. I confess I love it, just like the actor and the warrior love it, and I don't give a flaming fuck if everybody in the world thinks lawyers are all shmucks. They always want to hire the best. 000200000B82000135D0B7C,(as he approaches the building) The courtrooms are rather stark compared to those in the Federal Courthouse, using the same speckled granite as the outside walk for the walls and the judges' podium. Perhaps it was a done as a favor done for Material Services Corp. owners. Dark mahogany used for trim gave the courtrooms a minimal feeling of warmth. Sam goes into an elevator INT. HALLWAY AND COURTROOM - MOMENTS LATER Sam steps out of an elevator to a floor where many people are jammed in the hallway. A reporter There's Sedlack's lawyer. The mob presses towards Sam and sticks cameras in his face, flashing strobes and big TV camera floodlights. Sam pushes his way through them to the door, and walks in. The courtroom is filled. Ryan is already in the courtroom, as is Tim and his lawyer, Lider. Sam watches the opposition lawyers come out of the judges chamber. He greets the approaching Carey. SAM COHEN (said to Carey) The cop lawyers came out of the judges chambers. StATES ATTORNEY CAREY The motherfuckers. (said to Lider) Is your client ready? We are going to put Tim on first. SAM COHEN (V.O.) It was very unusual for the State's Attorney to handle a court case. But he was going to do a very unusual thing today. After the testimony, he was going to confess error. Tim had already been convicted and his appeals were exhausted. The post conviction petition procedure was the only way to allow new evidence to be presented. It would be difficult for a judge to go against Carey. But this was Chicago and he was a Republican. There was a lot of bullshit politics involved and Tim was a hair away from a long stretch, but that is the reality of politics and the law. This is not Perry Mason crap. This is the way it really works. Carey was taking a chance. The Cardinal was pissed off when he found out that cops were involved in a robbery of one of his churches. If he got the right press, Carey would be a hero. Unfortunately, the it was necessary for the Mayor to defend his cops because he knew that the Red Squad was a federal operation and he didn't want to anger the federal fucks. Under a promise of secrecy, he told that to the Cardinal. It was the Feds who had set up this deal, and not him or the police department. So the Cardinal let it go. The Cardinal felt that the State's Attorney would prevail anyway. Carey was Irish Catholic too and if he got the Feds involved maybe they would boost him on to a higher office to cover it up. So let the dice roll. Everybody had a lot at stake. Nobody, however, cared whether Tim Kallman was innocent or not. This was a Chicago power game. Too bad if the cops and the feds took the fall. At least that was the State's Attorney's viewpoint, still being somewhat naive. We knew about a lot of the connections, but there was one we didn't know about. From the Mayors point of view, he had the edge over the State's Attorney. Judge Romiti was in his and the Feds pocket. 0002000005550001414C54F, The back door of the courtroom opens and a lady clerk comes out. CLERK Please stand, the Honorable Judge Romiti, now presiding. With his robes flowing dramatically, the thin, dark, and very Italian looking judge, strides up to his chair, takes his seat, and bangs his gavel. Looking down over a Roman nose that had obviously been broken more than once. JUDGE ROMITI Please take your seats. This courtroom is overcrowded. If there is any disorder, the persons responsible will be removed immediately. Six beefy Sheriff's Deputies are strategically placed around the courtroom. There is a lot of non-specific murmuring and rustling of papers, which slowly ebbs. Everybody takes their seats. There are two court reporters transcribing the proceedings. And there are several court artists. CLERK This is the post conviction proceeding: Timothy Kallman versus State of Illinois, No. 200613. All persons having business before the Court, please rise, state your names and the party you represent. Everybody rises and gives their names and who they represent. JUDGE ROMITI For what purpose does the Special Corporation Counsels come before the Court? Attorney bushmaker Your Honor, we are here to represent the Chicago Police Officers who have been subpoenaed by the Petitioner, with the urging of the State's Attorney I might add, to testify in this case. 0002000006090001469B603,Carey jumped like he'd been jabbed. He stood up StATES ATTORNEY CAREY I object to the statement about what I have or have not urged. JUDGE ROMITI The objection is sustained and the volunteered comment is stricken from the record. ATTORNEY BUSHMAKER We filed a Motion to Quash those subpoenas and counsel for the Petitioner objects to our Motion. All of the papers have been filed and I am sure Your Honor has reviewed those. We are awaiting the Court's decision on our Motion, unless Your Honor wants to hear argument. JUDGE ROMITI The Court is well acquainted with the Motion and has thoroughly reviewed the briefs and the applicable case law and is aware that the Mayor has appointed you Special Corporation Counsels for this hearing. Since your allegations include statements that the principal witnesses here to testify are admitted perjurers and criminals, you will be allowed standing to cross-examine them and I will rule on the Motion to cancel the subpoenas after their testimony has been completed. Carey, Sam, and Lider, all rise. Three lawyers Objection. JUDGE ROMITI Sit down. One at a time. Mr. Cohen, you have no standing in this proceeding other than to represent your client, Mr. Sedlack, who has been called as a witness by the Petitioner, so sit down and keep quiet. SAM COHEN (muttered to Carey) I think we are about to get fucked. Sam sits down. JUDGE ROMITI I will first hear from Mr. Lider, the Petitioner's counsel. It is he who issued the subpoenas under attack. Lider slowly makes his way to the podium. 0002000009A900014C9E9A3,LIDER Your Honor, the subpoenas issued to the police were issued to obtain their testimony concerning the wrongful conviction of my client. We believe, they would testify that they knew about the Church robbery and they know that my client, Timothy Kallman, was not present at the Church robbery. As Your Honor knows, I have been representing defendants in criminal cases for almost half a century. In that time I have never heard of a court ruling that would allow attorneys for subpoenaed parties to cross-examine witnesses. There is no law that would allow you to do what you have done. Mr. Bushmaker's only concern is to represent the police officers that have been subpoenaed. What you have ruled is unprecedented. It is an outrage. I ask you to reconsider. Your ruling will make these proceedings extremely difficult and complicated. I am trying to get a wrongful conviction reversed. It is a very simple case. Tim Kallman was not at the church robbery. He was misidentified. JUDGE ROMITI Anything else? LIDER No, Your Honor, it's really that simple. JUDGE ROMITI Okay, Mr. Carey, you objected to my ruling, also. Do you want to be heard? STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Your Honor, I don't think I can add anything to what my learned colleague has said. It is his case. It is his client's Petition. He puts his witnesses on and then I cross-examine. There are only two parties to this case, Timothy Kallman and the State of Illinois. To allow Mr. Bushmaker to intervene and also cross-examine when they have no legal standing to do so would, in my opinion, be a due process violation. They are not authorized to represent the State of Illinois. I represent the State of Illinois. I also ask you to reconsider your ruling. JUDGE ROMITI Mr. Bushmaker, do you have anything to add to what you have already stated? ATTORNEY BUSHMAKER No, your Honor, we believe Your Honor's ruling to be correct. JUDGE ROMITI My ruling stands. Mr. Bushmaker may participate in these proceedings and cross-examine the witnesses. In that regard, he is the Court's attorney to determine the truth of these perjurious allegations against the Chicago Police Department. I believe the State's Attorney has made a pre-judgment of the adequacy of the claim for relief from the conviction. Mr. Lider, put on your first witness. LIDER Your Honor, we would like to call the first of the police officers we have subpoenaed. JUDGE ROMITI That will have to wait until after we hear non-police witnesses. 0002000008E0000156418DA,LidER Your Honor is impeding my case by not allowing me to choose the order in which I call my witnesses. JUDGE ROMITI That is enough of that. You have heard my ruling, so don't go any further with this. Put on your first non-police witness or else I will deny the Petition right now. LIDER We call Timothy Kallman subject to my previous objection. SaM COHEN (v.O.) Tim was sworn and took the witness stand and he proceeded to tell his story, reiterating the fact that he was not present at the Church robbery, but that one of the people who was there looked like him. He testified that his lawyer Simon Reinhardt had railroaded him to protect himself and his association with the Red Squad. After Lider had completed his examination, Carey cross-examined him about all of the activities he engaged in while working with the Red Squad. Mr. Bushmaker stands and walks up to Tim. He points his finger at him, wagging it in admonition. ATTORNEY BUSHMAKER You are a criminal, aren't you, Mr. Kallman? TIM KALLMAN No, I am not. ATTORNEY BUSHMAKER You have testified that you committed acts of vandalism, destruction of property and beating up people, isn't that right? TIM KALLMAN Only at the request of the Chicago Police Department, and under the direction of Simon Reinhardt. SAM COHEN (v.O.) The cross-examination continued along those lines, going into all of the things that Tim did with the Legion Of Justice. Judge Romiti overruled all of Lieder's objections that those matters were irrelevant. It was apparent that this was all one big set up. Finally, Attorney Bushmaker concluded, and Tim left the stand. JUDGE ROMITI Next witness, Mr. Lider. SAM COHEN (V.O.) Ryan stood up and gave me a look of bitter resignation. He knew it was a set-up. He strode to the stand and told the same story as Tim that it was he and not Tim at the Church robbery. The State's Attorney asked Ryan similar questions as he had asked Tim, trying to uncover the extent of the Red Squad's illegal activities. Then Bushmaker gets up and walks over to Ryan. AttORNEY BUSHMAKER (in an accusatory and hostile fashion) You came into a Catholic Church with a gun and put it in the face of Father Picardo, a kindly old priest who almost had a heart attack from fright, isn't that right? 00020000091E00015F1B918,RYAN I was supposed to intimidate the priest, that's right, to get him to reveal the location of some alleged evidence he was concealing. AttORNEY BUSHMAKER That is why you kept the money from Father Ryan's poorbox, and from his pocket, to intimidate him, right? RYAN It was part of the cover. We were supposed to pretend to be there to rob the place. AtTORNEY BUSHMAKER I understand you have an unusual military record. You were an assassin, a cold blooded killer, weren't you? RYAN (angrily) I was a soldier. That's what soldiers do. ATTORNEY BUSHMAKER What did you do in the years after you left Chicago? RYAN I can't tell you that. ATTORNEY BUSHMAKER Why not? RYAN My life and that of others would be in danger. ATTORNEY BUSHMAKER Your Honor, please instruct the witness to answer my question. JUDGE ROMITI Yes, Mr. Sedlack, you are ordered to answer the question. Sam bolts to his feet. SAM COHEN I will not allow my client to sit up there and be a target for Mr. Bushmaker's venom, and to testify about events in his life which are irrelevant to this proceeding and to the question of whether Timothy Kallman was at the Church robbery. JUDGE ROMITI Well, if you want your client's testimony to be allowed in these proceedings, he will answer the question. SAM COHEN No, Your Honor, I am instructing Mr. Sedlack to leave the stand, and to refuse to answer any further questions from Mr. Bushmaker, on the basis of his rights under the Fifth Amendment. Ryan stood up to leave the stand and starts walking toward Sam. JUDGE ROMITI (spoken quietly) Very well, Mr. Sedlack's testimony will be stricken from the Record of these proceedings and will not be reflected in my decision on the Petition. Lider beats the rest of the lawyers to their feet. LIDER Your Honor, I object to the fact that you have stricken all of Mr. Sedlack's testimony. The testimony that he gave prior to Mr. Cohen's instructions for him to leave should be allowed to remain. JuDGE ROMITI Objection overruled. Next witness, Mr. Lider. LiDER We call Officer Schultz. JUDGE ROMITI Based on the testimony I have heard so far there is no basis for requiring any of the police officers to testify. The Motion of the Special Corporation Counsels to Quash the subpoenas are granted. The police will not be required to testify. Anything further, Mr. Lider? 00020000090B00016833905,LiDER No, Your Honor, we have laid out the facts and the law in our Briefs and I don't think there is anything more that can be said. Timothy Kallman was wrongfully convicted. He wasn't at the Our Lady of the Mount Church when it was robbed. JUDGE ROMITI I have read all of the Briefs and am fully cognizant of the arguments. Mr. Carey do you have anything further? STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Yes, Your Honor, based on the undeniable facts and on behalf of the State of Illinois, I am confessing error in Mr. Kallman's case. He was wrongfully convicted. JUDGE ROMITI Thank you. I have researched the law on this subject and determined that a Confession of Error by the prosecutor on behalf of the State is a very rare occurrence. The law on the subject is rather old but all of the cases say that a Confession of Error is not binding on the Court. Do you agree? STATES ATTORNEY CAREY Yes, Your Honor, I did the research too, and Your Honor has stated the law on the subject correctly. I would point out, however, that in all of those cases, the Confession of Error was accepted. JUDGE ROMITI I am aware of that, but it is not going to be accepted in this case. The testimony of Father Picardo at the trial was unequivocal that Mr. Kallman was at the Church, so I am going to deny the Petition. The Petitioner will remain on bond subject to a call by the Department of Corrections for him to start serving his sentence or pending appeal of my decision. These proceedings are closed. The judge bangs his gavel, stands up and strides back out the door followed by his Clerk. A loud rustle and conversation erupts in the courtroom. Bushmaker and his staff swiftly leave, followed by the reporters and media. That leaves only Tim, Lider, Carey and his assistants, Ryan and Sam in the courtroom. They look stunned and in a state of shock. SAM COHEN (v.O.) We had gotten a very swift and very well orchestrated fucking. We had been in court for only an hour and a half. The media had all gone down the elevators celebrating the Mayor's victory. State's Attorney Carey left shaking his head in wonder and resignation, followed by his assistants schlepping the file cases. The rest of us go down the elevator in silence and walk over to Mayor's Row. Lider waives as he walks with his head down in a different direction. 00020000070700017138701,DISSOLVE TO: INT. bAR AT MAYORS ROW-DAY Sam, Ryan, Tim and Sheila are sitting a table. SAM COHEN Man, this was a Chicago heist at its best. What a setup! There had to be a lot of planning in that. TIM KALLMAN Where does that leave me? SAM COHEN With your ass hanging out the car window. TIM KALLMAN What can we do? SAM COHEN Thats between you and Lider. Remember I represent or represented Ryan. But you just have to follow it down the line. Appeal the ruling and appeal and in Churchills famous words, never, never, never quit or some such. The errors are so obvious in order for you lose in the Appellate Court would mean that they were fixed too, which, of course, is a real possibility considering the disclosure of power that what just happened represented. RYAN Well, where does that leave me. Im finished, right? I can split and its all over for me, right? SAM COHEN Thats right, except for the Grand Jury appearance, which is coming up soon. After that you are as free as a bird. They all finish their drinks and depart one by one, leaving only Sam and Sheila and Mel. Mel comes over and sits down. There are no customers at the bar. MEL POLLARD I can only assume that things did not go well. SAM COHEN Thats saying it lightly, Mel. MEL POLLARD Yeh, well I heard that the Cardinal torpedoed the deal. SAM COHEN I thought he was on Careys side. Didnt want to see a wrongfully convicted person go to prison. MEL POLLARD That was the original deal but he changed his mind and told the Mayor to do his dirty work. He concluded that somebody had to pay for the Church robbery. It just didnt look good for nobody to pay for it. SAM COHEN Well, except for Ryans grand jury appearance Im finished and it is time for me to get paid. Hey, I feel bad for Tim but its Liders case. 000200000A3300017839A2D,FADE OUT. INT. rYANS APARTMENT - EVENING Ryan is on the balcony of his apartment looking over Sheridan Road, smoking a Camel regular, watching the city at night. The TV is on and there is news talk softly in the background. RyAN (V.O.) All right, I had to admit I was lucky to be on this balcony instead of in a cell full of fuckheads. I was lucky to get out of everything so far. I had planned to get all this behind me, and then get into Private Investigator school, but it sure as hell couldn't be in Chicago. I could easily get on a Panamanian death squad team for Tony Noriega, or for Samoza in Nicaragua. Christ, that place was seething, just waiting to blow. I could go back to Bolivia, or Guatemala. I knew Noriega was pipelining coke and washing money for the CIA, which made the prospects very good for some serious action in Colombia and Peru. Venezuela was a real playground too. There was no shortage of work. I might have been more inclined to consider the New Mexico option right then if Mata had not disappeared. How I got off on everything was a mystery to me, and how Mata got off on that marijuana bust was a greater mystery. Ryan goes to the kitchen, leaving the balcony sliding door open, and puts some ice cubes in a glass, pouring a slug of Jack Daniels. He goes back into the living room and sits down in front of the 100-gallon tank with his piranhas. The fish are agitated, swimming back and forth, watching Ryan. Ryan gets up and goes into his bedroom closet where he has an incubator with chicken eggs in it and brings three back to the fish tank. He cracks the eggs open and chicken fetuses drop out into the tank. They fall out and jerk and twitch when they hit the cold water. The Piranhas are at them immediately and they disappear in short order,leaving only debris and red blood streaks The fish darting this way and that cleaning up the pieces. Then Ryan throws in some grubs. Ryan (V.O.) (as he watches the fish eating) I wasn't satisfied with the way things were going, that was for sure. I was willing to help Kallman, even if he is a dork, but I was in a dangerous spot and knew it. Tim could say whatever he wanted about the government connections to the LOJ, but with my past I was discredited and would be disbelieved. It would be easy to send Tim away and end the whole thing, except that I was the corroboration of the story, the fly in their ointment. If the cops got rid of me, there would only be Tim--a convicted armed robber. I should have expected it, but the urban environment had numbed my mind like bad smack, and a lot was getting past me. 0002000007CB000182667C5,The phone rings and Ryan grabs it. VOICE (O.S.) This Sedlack? It's me, Koz. RYAN Koz? VoICE (O.S.) Steve Kozlowski. Come on, Sarge, it hasn't been that long. It's me, man, The Headhunter. RYAN (v.O.) That Koz. Christ, the last time I had seen him he was hunched up in a revetment with a can of beer and one of his hooch girls, waving as I got on the helicopter to leave. Koz and I had a couple of things in common. We were both Polish, and we were both snipers. He was the kind of person who might be sent on a mission to kill an old friend. VOICE (o.S.) How about I drop by and let's catch up on old times? RYAN Sure, why don't you come by my place, and we'll have a couple of brews! Ryan hangs up the phone and goes to the closet in the bedroom He takes his .45 out of the holster, popped the magazine out, checks it, slides it back in, racks a cartridge into the firing chamber and checks the safety to make sure it was on. He goes back to the living room and places the gun under the seat cushion of the couch. He practices getting the gun out from the couch a few times and then goes to the refrigerator and gets out a plate of deviled eggs and cold cuts and sits down on the couch and watches the news. The buzzer on the intercom rings and Ryan gets up and rings the buzzer and opens the door and waits by it. Along comes KOZ, looking like a hippy with long hair and a beard, wearing a denim vest with a peace symbol on it. He comes in and they hang around the vestibule. Kozlowski I saw you on TV, man, and I just had to look you up. RYAN How did you find my address and phone number? KOZLOWSKI Hey, I still have a few connections. RYAN This hippie faggot outfit you have on is just a cover then? KOZLOWSKI Of course, unless you have a couple of joints in the house, and then it's real. RYAN I've got some smoke, a bottle of Jack, and a six-pack of Dos Equis in the fridge. You eat yet? I've got about half a plate of deviled eggs and stuff here. How about I order a pizza? 00020000090700018A2B901,KOZLOWSKI Great, Yeh, I'm hungry. Make it thin crust, sausage, green peps, onions and green olives. I'll pay for it. RYAN Pretty weird combo. KOZLOWSKI Yeh, but good. You'll see. Ryan makes the call, comes back and sits down on the couch. Koz sits down on the chair with its back toward the sliding door to the balcony, facing Ryan sitting at the far end of the couch. RyAN Here give me your coat. I'll hang it up. KOZLOWSKI No, thanks, that's okay. There's a cool wind outside and it's a long walk from my pad to here. Ryan pours the whisky into two shot glasses and gives one to Koz. RyAN Well, Jack Daniels will warm you up. Drink up. KOZLOWSKI Here's to the United States Army. RYAN Fuck the Army and fuck the Corps. KOZLOWSKI I'll drink to that. They both down the shots. KOZLOWSKI Those are some crazy fucking fish. What do you feed them? RyAN I held one motherfucker's hand in there long enough he lost two fingers. KOZLOWSKI I would have liked to have seen that. Ryan (v.O.) We engaged in mindless chatter and the deviled eggs disappeared and the pretzels, as well as the pizza. The Jack Daniels was almost gone too, and we were down to the last two beers. He was running on about some sniper story where he had shot a gook sniper who had a bead on him from three hundred yards. KOZLOWSKI The gook was looking out the scope at me at the time and the shot hit him square through the eye. I kept that scope. I'll show it to you one of these days. Actually my shot was not totally square but the scope's metal tube kept the shot on track and you can see the bump where the bullet wanted to come out. RYAN Quite a shot and lucky for you that you got your shot off first. KOZLOWSKI That was the closest I ever came to catching it, right there. (beat) Ryan, I've been keeping an eye on this thing you've been involved in with Tim Kallman. RYAN How did you know that? KOZLOWSKI Like I said, you're on TV, and I have sources, police friends at the Foster Avenue Station who talk shit when I have brews with them at a local pub. Your name came up and I said that I knew you. RYAN It's something I can't talk about. Ryan moves around on the couch to feel for the hidden gun. KOZLOWSKI My friends were saying that you were going to squeal on some other cops you were involved with sometime back. 0002000009A70001932C9A1,RYAN Look, stay out of it, okay? KOZLOWSKI I am just trying to help you, that's all. They asked me to let you know if you left town again, they would help you. RYAN Help me how? KOZLOWSKI Ten thousand bucks. RYAN And if I say no, what then, you fucking little weasel? KOZLOWSKI Well, they won't be happy. RYAN I don't give a fuck if they're happy or not. KOZLOWSKI That's what they thought you'd say. Slowly, Koz stood up and reached under his leather jacket around behind his back. Ryan grabs his gun before Koz got his. Ryan leaps against Koz. Koz falls back toward the balcony railing through the open glass sliding door. Ryan slides the door closed and real fast as Kozs back hit the railing, Koz points his piece at Ryan, but not fast enough. Ryan pops off one round through the glass, which hits Koz gun. The pistol goes flying over the railing. A second round hits him in the armpit. Koz looks at Ryan with fear in his eyes as Ryan levels his gun right between Kozs eyes. Suddenly, there is a big crash as Ryans front door caves in and two cops come running in, crouching with their guns aimed at Ryan. Ryan turns and covers them with his .45. They are uniformed cops, dressed in flak jackets and helmets, with their sidearms aimed at Ryans chest. Both cops Drop the gun. One of the cops Drop the gun. RYAN Who the fuck are you? A COP Shots were reported. We're not going to hurt you. Just nice and easy lay it on the floor. Ryan stands his ground. RYAN (V.O.) Reported, my ass. It was obvious they were monitoring the conversation and were part of the deal. Even so, I figured they would probably not shoot me because they could charge me for shooting Koz and didn't have to kill me, so it was probably wiser to drop the gun. Ryan lays it down nice and easy. The cops cuff him, and take him inside the elevator and the elevator doors close. CUT TO: EXT. outside RYANS APARTMENt - MOMENTS LATER Ryan is led out the doors with the two police officers on either arm. Three squad cars are there with their lights flashing. EMS guys taking out a stretcher out of an ambulance. Ryan is placed in back of a squad car that takes off. DISSOLVE TO: INT police station - LATER Ryan is at the police station on the telephone. RYAN Sam, Im sorry to call you at home but they have me here at the Foster station and they are charging me with aggravated assault on a couple of cops. Its was a real neat setup. I shot a guy but they arent charging me with that. 00020000076D00019CCD767,SAM COHEN (V.O.) Has bond been set? RyAN No, they said I will appear tomorrow morning at Bond Court for an arraignment. SAM COHEN (V.O.) Well, I can't do anything now. I'll be there in the morning and try to arrange bail. What the fuck happened? No, forget about it. We will talk in the morning. I'll call the State's Attorney and let him know about it so that we can get reasonable bail. How much cash do you have on you? RYAN About two hundred bucks, and about a grand at home. SAM COHEN (V.O.) I'm figuring a ten thousand dollar ten percent bond, which means you have to come up with a grand. I'll front the extra money but as soon as you get out you have to pay me back. Understood? RYAN Sure, I'll pay you back, of course. What's a matter you don't trust me? Shit, you've got my bracelet. SAM COHEN (V.O.) We'll talk about that when I see you. I haven't got penny one since I started with you and, I can't eat the turquoise bracelet. RYAN Okay, okay, I'll see you tomorrow. CUT TO: INT. Lobby of sAMS OFFICE building - DAY Sheila is walking through the revolving doors. JUAN Hola, Chiquita banana, que pasa? ShEILA STARR (said grumpily) Don't give me that Spanish shit, Juan, I know you speak English very well. What does that 'que pasa' shit mean anyway? JuAN Oh, I see dat la mujer no es simpatica today. SHEILA STARR And what the fuck does that meen? JUAN It jus meen ju most be in a bad mood and 'que pasa' jus mean, 'whazzup.' So, whazzup, Sheila? You look like you deedn't geet no sleep. SHEILA STARR Okay, I'm sorry. No sleep last night and too much booze and smoke. JUAN Ju smoke dat weed we call 'la mota?' SHEILA STARR Yeh, doesn't everybody? JUAN Ju need som, I get you som. SHEILA STARR Sure, I knew you had another job. What a cover! How much? Juan raises his finger to his lips and looks around. Juan Da primo Mex weed I get for you cinquenta, I meen fifty greenbacks. 00020000049E0001A434498,SHEILA STARR I get mine for forty. JUAN Pero dis is toda bud with roja all over. You know sinsemilla? SHEILA STARR Yeh, but that Mex shit is not sins. JUAN Sure it is. Sin semilla means 'without seeds.' Ju got to keep the boy plantas and the girl plantas separate, so you don't get no seeds. Dis is the reel stuff. Jus ju tell me, anytime. The elevator door opens and Sheila walks in and presses the button. SHEILA STARR I'll keep you in mind, Juan. JUAN Okay, ju have a good day. SHEILA STARR Ju too, Juan. CUT TO: INT. saMS OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER Sheila unlocks the door to 1313, steps into the reception room, turns on the lights and inserts the key to the inner offices. She takes the coffee pot to the sink and fills it with cold water and the basket with Jamaican Blue Mountain. She throws many spoonfuls in the basket. Sam calls in. SAM COHEN Hello, beautiful. Let me in. Sheila rings the buzzer to the inner door and Sam comes in and plops his briefcase on the desk. Sheila fills his cup with coffee and brings it with his calendar and note pad. SHEILA STARR How do you plan to handle Ryan Sedlack? SaM COHEN He better come up with some money or else I quit. 00020000085C0001A8CC856,ShEILA STARR He's not going to like that. SaM COHEN Then he can come up with the money. I'm not going to carry him anymore. Now he's really put his ass in a sling with this cop thing. ShEILA STARR It looks like a very workable case. SAM COHEN Yeah, but so what? Yes, he did point his gun at the cops as a matter of self-defense. And, yes, he thought they were going to kill him, and it was a reasonable assumption considering what had happened. It's a little strange that the guy he shot refused to sign a complaint against him. It was strange, also, that they decided to lodge this bullshit charge. I have a feeling that since the post conviction hearing didn't go the way the State's Attorney wanted it to go, now he is going to suck up to the cops by prosecuting Ryan and getting rid of him once and for all. It's a guaranteed loser, and there isn't a buck in it. ShEILA STARR It is a good chance to prove the assholes are setting him up. Just your kind of case, no? SaM COHEN Yes, it's interesting and it would be fun to try, but I'm not going to do it on the come. I don't need the aggravation, and I don't need to be pitting myself against a fixed court, and I don't need to be getting in deeper with Ryan Sedlack. He is a dangerous guy, and nobody I want to get drunk with. Frankly, he scares me, and you know I'm not easily frightened. If he pays me, fine, I'll take his case, but otherwise forget it. How you doing today. You look a little hang dog. ShEILA STARR Yeh, too much tail of the dog last night. I'm okay, just tired. SAM COHEN Take some of my coffee and dont put any water in it. That's the only way to savor Blue Mountain coffee. It has a special taste and aroma that no other can come close to. Instant alertness, that's what I want. ShEILA STARR Yuck. I don't know how you can drink it that way. But you sure look happy today. You and Betty a pair again? SAM COHEN Betty is the best I have ever had sex with and I think I am in love with her too. But the kid thing is a hang-up that maybe I will get over some day. Of course, sexually, maybe you are better but well never know about that. Maybe someday, huh? 000200000A570001B122A51,ShEILA STARR I dont think that is going to happen. I like our relationship the way it is. Why complicate things! But you never know; you know how horny I get when I get drunk. SaM COHEN Maybe Ill get Mel to give you a Mickey Finn. SHEILA STARR I dont think he would ever do that. Besides, Ive got enough men to keep me busy. Im not ready for serious. SAM COHEN Okay. Anyway, do you have enough work to keep you busy? ShEILA STARR Is that a joke? SaM COHEN (laughing) Well, I got busy after you left the office yesterday. I'm going to work on the first draft of the Jordan brief today. So keep the calls to a minimum-only important ones. Tell the others I will call them back. ShEILA STARR Okay, boss. Sheila closes his door and the sound of a Paganini violin concerto wafts through the door. Two o'clock comes and goes as the clock on the wall shows and the clock stops at three when, Ryan comes ambling in. SHEILA STARR You're an hour late. RyAN So what's it to you? ShEILA STARR Sam has other clients, you know. RYAN I got out of bed late. Can I see him, or not? Sheila knocks on Sams door SHEILA STARR Ryans here. SAM COHEN Send him in. Sam turns off his CD player. Sheila buzzes Ryan in and Sam meets him at his office door. They went in and Sam closes the door. Sheila tries to listen to the conversation. She does some fake typing but has her earphones off, so she could hear. SAM COHEN God damn it, Ryan, I can't eat your fucking bracelet. I need some money from you and quick. We're through with Tim's post conviction case, but this is different. I want five grand for the assault case. RYAN Where am I going to get five grand? I don't have it. Anyway this case will make you famous. You should do it for nothing. You'll get a lot of free advertising. SAM COHEN I'm already famous. I need money. I have a big nut to cover, Sheila, rent, and all the other stuff I have to pay for. How about I sell your bracelet? RyAN You do that and you're a dead man. SAM COHEN Ryan, I quit. Sheila will give you your file. Get another lawyer. Here's your fucking bracelet. (takes the bracelet out of his drawer and hands it to him) Good luck, but I am through. Heres your file. RYAN You fucking asshole, you must be working for them. You kike bastard, just another fucking Jew double agent. You guys are all fucking piranhas. Sam gets up and opens the door. Ryan leaves and opens the inner door. RYAN (to Sheila as he leaves) I'll get even with that little Jew fuck. Ryan leaves the outer door and slams it closed. Sam comes out his office. SAM COHEN Man, am I glad that Nazi son of a bitch is out of my life. That is a relief. 0002000007A20001BB7379C,SheILA STARR Im not so sure youre through with him. CUT TO: INT. rYANS APARTMENT - DAY Ryan is on the phone. RyAN Captain Ferris, please. CaPTAIN FERRIS (V.O.) Yes. RyAN I need a lawyer. Have you seen the papers about the bullshit charge they have me on. CAPTAIN FERRIS Yes, I have. But I thought Sam Cohen was representing you. RYAN He was but I cant afford to pay the son of a bitch so he quit. CAPTAIN FERRIS Yeh, well I know a lawyer there by the name of Braun. I call him and tell him to contact you. RYAN Thanks Captain; I knew I could count on you. DISSOLVE TO: INT. captain Ferris Office - DAY Captain Ferris is on the phone. CAPTAIN FERRIS Braun I have a job for you. Braun (V.O.) Anything for you. CAPTAIN FERRIS This guy Ryan Sedlack is charged with assaulting some cops. He needs a lawyer but this is a special job. What you might call a set up and I need you to go along with it. BRAUN (v.O.) Like I said anything for you. CAPTAIN FERRIS And you are not going to charge him. We will pay you. BrAUN (V.O.) Okay. Give me his number. FADE IN: INT. sAMS OFFICE - DAY Sam is sitting at his office reclining back on his chair. SAM COHEN (V.O.) They set up the whole thing. After Ryan's conviction Braun was to appeal on the grounds that Romiti's ruling that there was no self-defense to an assault case against a cop was unconstitutional. The Appellate Court would affirm the conviction and make it the law in Illinois. Ryan didn't like the fact that Judge Romiti was on his case, considering how he had treated him at Tim's hearing but Braun lied to him that he couldnt do anything about it. Braun could have asked that the judge be replaced because of his involvement in the other case. The trial started as Braun had expected. The prosecutor filed a Motion in Limine. That is a request to the Court for it to exclude in advance of trial certain types of evidence considered inappropriate for the jury's consideration. 0002000007B70001C30F7B1,INT. cOURTROOM - DAY Ryan and Braun are sitting a the defense table and Romiti is on the bench. JudGE ROMITI I'll hear argument on the prosecutor's Motion in Limine before we get to jury selection. Mr. Prosecutor, you are first. PROSECUTOR Your Honor, as you know this case is about an assault with a dangerous weapon on two uniformed police officers, who were responding to a call about a shooting. The testimony will be that the police officers confronted the defendant with their weapons drawn and ordered him to drop his gun. Rather than comply with the command, the defendant raised his gun and pointed it at both officers and held it on them for a lengthy period of time and only reluctantly dropped it. It is anticipated that the defense will raise a false issue of self-defense and attempt to adduce testimony that would support that theory. We believe the law in Illinois is, or should be, that there is no self-defense when confronted by uniformed police. Therefore we are requesting the Court to order the defendant and his counsel not to introduce any testimony or evidence in support of a this theory of self- defense. JUDGE ROMITI I have carefully reviewed the material provided to me in both briefs and it will be unnecessary to argue the law. Mr. Braun, please, your side of the story. BRAUN Thank you, Your Honor. The facts are what the facts are and the facts will show that my client had a reasonable belief that the officers were in his apartment and that they were going to kill him. That being the case, it matters not that the alleged perpetrators were uniformed police. The self-defense issue is what is in the mind of the person under fear of imminent death, and not who is threatening him. In support of that, we intend to establish many facts that will show because of the defendant's high profile involvement with the so-called Red Squad, that he had a reasonable belief that his life was in danger. Thank you, your Honor. Braun sits down. 0002000007000001CAC06FA,JUDGE ROMITI Thank you both, gentlemen. I'm going to retire to my chambers to give this matter some further thought before I rule. We will stand adjourned until the Clerk's call. CUT TO: INT. judges chambers - MOMENTS LATER Romiti goes back to his office. He takes off his black robes, pours a drink, and goes to his desk. The decision is typed and lying on his desk. The front page says, Top Secret --To Be Destroyed After Reading -- Attorney General William Scott. He downs the drink, puts his robes back on and picks up his script. Opens the door to the court and steps back up to his chair and sits down. JudGE ROMITI Please sit. I am going to read my ruling so that it is transcribed into the record of this case. Mr. Braun is not to bring up the subject of self-defense. To do so would be considered contempt of court. Furthermore if the subject comes up, even in an off- handed way, I will rule it irrelevant, instruct the jury to ignore it and strike it from the record. There is a commotion in the press section of the courtroom. Judge Romiti bangs his gavel. Ryan stands up, red in the face. RYAN What the fuck is going on? I'm being railroaded, here. The Judge bangs his gavel again. JuDGE ROMITI There will be order in the court. Sit down Mr. Sedlack, and make your comments to your lawyer in private. Court is adjourned for ten minutes and then we will start jury selection. Deputy, please seat the jury panel. He slams down his gavel, rises and exits. Ryan and Braun enter into the adjoining conference room. CUT TO: InT. side room off the court - dAY Braun sits down. Ryan stands and starts yelling. RYAN Goddamit Braun. BRAUN Ryan they can hear you out there. Please sit down and don't shout. Listen, it was a lousy ruling. It will never stand up on appeal. 0002000006710001D1BA66B,RYAN What the fuck are you talking about? I don't want to go out of here convicted and be unable to tell the true story of what happened, appeal or no appeal. BRAUN Ryan the judge ruled what the judge ruled. I can't change it until we appeal and can't do that until the end of the case. RYAN What about me testifying to all of the things that happened? BRAUN The judge wouldn't let you do it, and he would probably throw both of us in jail for contempt. He is not a guy to be fucked with. RYAN Yeh, I can see that. The mother fucker is bought, which makes him impossible to convince. BACK TO: INT. saMS OFFICE - DAY SAM COHEN (V.O.) The case went as expected. Ryan was found guilty and sentenced to five to ten years. He was allowed out on bond, hoping that he would split again and never darken Chicago's door. The appeal was immediately instituted and the opinion shortly announced. Among the usual mostly boring recitations, it stated It is the law of Illinois that the defense of self cannot be used in a case involving one charged with assaulting a uniformed police officer under any circumstances. There it was, the badge made into a shield from accountability. It was another abomination from a higher court meant to shackle the people and exalt the police. It had been going on for some time now, a steady slow erosion. But this ruling was especially unique. At this rate, I figured someday they would just pass sentence and forget about the rest of the crap. FADE IN: INT. outside sams office - NIGHT Sheila walks to the office door. She is surprised that it is unlocked, but still enters the darkened office. ShEILA STARR 0002000007B90001D8257B3,Sam? The door clicks shut behind her. RyAN Oh, it's you. I was expecting that shekel-grubbing kike shyster boss of yours. I guess you'll have to do. Ryan is dressed in black running sweats, and his face is painted black. He backs her against her desk, pushes her onto it, then punches her legs to make her open them, and tears off her panties. RyAN If you scream, I'll kill you. He rapes her violently, then slaps her on the butt and leaves her sobbing on the desk. DISSOLVE TO: INT. a law library - AFTERNOON Sam is seated at a table reading from a book with a stack of books alongside. Sam COHEN (V.O.) I took over Tim Kallman's case. I had to go to the next step since the cowardly Illinois Supreme Court had refused to hear the case. I had to go to Federal Court. His argument was unimpeachable: he offered me cash, up front. And let's face it, I was beginning to like the guy, and to believe in his case. Among the things the Illinois Appellate Court had discussed was the issue of Simon Reinhardt's conflict of interest. The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution says you have to have a lawyer who does not have a conflict of interest. The Illinois Appellate Court had stated that there was no conflict of interest, although the facts were undisputed about what Simon had done. So that was it. I would pound away at Simon without let up. Sam closes the book he is reading and throws his yellow pads into his briefcase and walks to the counter. He takes some books out at the checkout counter. CLERK Man, you must have a hot one. CUT TO: INT. saMS OFFICE - DAY Sam is in his office writing on a yellow pad and Sheila is typing away on her Selectric. SAM COHEN (v.O.) Sheila was great about it, never complained. She knew what kind of pressure I was under. She didn't even talk back when I snapped at her, as she usually would. There was something definitely wrong with her. I asked her and she just shrugged. I just didn't have time to go into it any further. 0002000003F70001DFD83F1,Cut to: INT. inside FeDERAL COURT CLERKS OFFICE - DAY Tim is holding a box of papers. Sam goes over to his favorite clerk, Frieda, a foxy little blonde pixie. Frieda Hi Sam. What do you have here? SAM COHEN Habeas Corpus Petition-2254. FrIEDA My, oh my, we've been busy But you always were a go-getter. SaM COHEN Flattery will get you everything. Do you take bribes? FRIEDA Shush now, are you trying to get me in trouble? You are some joker. What kind of bribe did you have in mind? SAM COHEN How about I call you and we'll talk about that? I said. Just give me a winning number and most of all, a winning judge, and nothing is too good for you. FrIEDA That's what all you lawyers say. SAM COHEN Really, I thought I was unique. FrIEDA You know me, Sam, I've seen them all. Coming right up with the number. She takes out a stamper and stamps it on the top of a document. She shows it to Sam. It says, 74-7777. SAM COHEN If this was Las Vegas, I'd be rich. Well, that's a good start. The judge? FRIEDA Guess. 0002000006540001E3C964E,SAM COHEN Crowley. FrIEDA How did you know? SAM COHEN The luck of the Irish. FRIEDA You're Jewish. SAM COHEN Well, you never know who your father is, isn't that right? FrIEDA Tch-tch, no bastard lawyer jokes now, Sam. She stamps all the papers and hands them to Sam. SAM COHEN (V.O.) Crowley was an Irishman, well connected with the ruling Irish Mafia, but I thought he was more interested in justice than others. FrIEDA Why don't you give me that call sometime? You make me laugh and that's good for me. SAM COHEN I will and Ill make you moan too. (beat) Listen, I need a favor. I have to get this case to Crowley fast because otherwise my client will have to go to prison. FrIEDA How about next Friday at ten? SAM COHEN That's great. CUT TO: INT. saMS OFFICE - later Sam is on the phone TIM KALLMAN (v.O.) Sam, I received a letter telling me to report to Joliet Prison next Friday at 11 a.m. SAM COHEN Thats cutting it pretty close. Keep your fingers crossed that Crowley lets you go on bond. TIM KALLMAN Yeh, I sure hope so. SAM COHEN See you in court Friday. FADE TO: INT. cOURTROOM - DAY Everybody is in Crowley's courtroom. The Assistant Attorney General walks in. SAM COHEN (V.O.) Herb Kaplan was their point man. He was one of the AG's hit men, to handle political cases. He was up in the ranks with the title of 'Special Assistant.' He did not look confidant, which was a good sign. Sam rises and extends his hand and they shake hands. Kaplan moves quickly to his table and puts his file down. The back door opens and the judge and his entourage walk into the courtroom. They all stand. CLERK 000200000CAD0001EA17CA7,United States of America, ex rel Timothy Kallman versus John Wrightwood, Warden of the State Prison at Joliet, case number 74-7777." Judge Crowley I have briefly reviewed the Relator's Brief and the material that came with it and I believe the Petition should be answered. (addressing Kaplan) How much time do you need to answer the Petition? Herb Kaplan Uh, three weeks. Judge Crowley Why so much time? You have already had these materials for a week, as have I. HERB KAPLAN Sir, this is a complicated matter. JUDGE CROWLEY Mr. Cohen do you have any objections to three weeks? SAM COHEN No, though it is a long time. JUDGE CROWLEY Three weeks from today it is, unless you can get it to me sooner. I don't believe I need a Reply Brief from you, Mr. Cohen. Your brief and accompanying documents are very comprehensive. So I will set a disposition date on June 13th at 10 a.m. I don't believe oral argument is necessary and unless there is an objection I will announce my decision in this case on that date. Court will stand adjourned. In a flash the judge stands up and is about to exit. Sam quickly stands up. SAM COHEN Your Honor, the matter of bond JUDGE CROWLEY Sorry, I forgot about the bond. It will be set at a thousand dollars personal recognizance, a signature bond, no surety necessary. Go to the Clerk's office and sign it. The judge and his entourage quickly walk through his doorway. Kaplan grabs his files and leaves without saying anything. Sam, Sheila and Tim do a three-way hug. SAM COHEN Tim, it looks like youre not going to prison today. TIM KALLMAN Thank God. CUT TO: INT. sAMS OFFICE-moments later Sam opens the door. There is an envelope from the Governor in the mail on the floor next to the mail chute in the door. Sam grabs it and quickly tears open the envelope and reads the one page letter in it. SAM COHEN The sentence of Timothy Kallman, Defendant in the case of People of the State of Illinois versus Timothy Kallman, No. 20736 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois is hereby commuted to 5 (five) years of reporting probation by order of Governor Tie Johansen. Sam hands it to Tim. TIM KALLMAN What does it mean? SAM COHEN It means you never have to go to prison, no matter what happens in your case, but it means you are still a convicted felon and it didn't go along with what we had requested, which was two years of non-reporting probation. TIM KALLMAN But what about the case? SAM COHEN Well, we should let it continue because even if you lose it, this commutation is still effective. My big question is should I tell Judge Crowley. If I tell him, he might not feel any obligation to rule for us. If I don't tell him and he rules for us and he finds out, as he will, he is going to be mighty pissed off at me. I'll have to think on this a little. Tim keeps shaking Sams hand. He gives Sheila a big hug and a kiss. TIM KALLMAN I've got to go Mr. Cohen. I've got to tell my mother and my family. I want to do it in person. You can't know how I feel at this moment. For years I've been under the cloud of this sentence and now, suddenly, the cloud is gone and the sun is shining. Thank you very, very much. Tim leaves, leaving Sheila and me sitting in my office and smiling. SAM COHEN 0002000005750001F6BE56F,I'm going to go home to sleep. You can take off whenever you want. Sam leaves the office. CUT TO: INT. cOURTROOM - DAY When Sam, Tim and Sheila enter the courtroom, Kaplan is already there, looking somber. The Clerk announces the case. CLERK United States of America, ex rel Timothy Kallman versus John Wrightwood, Warden of the State Prison at Joliet, case number 74-7777." JUDGE CROWLEY The following is my decision in this case. The undisputed facts demonstrate an actual conflict of interest in Simon Reinhardt's representation both because of his interest in protecting himself and the Legion from implication in the robbery and his dual representation of Ryan Sedlack. Mr. Reinhardt was not only the leader of the Legion of Justice, but actively planned the robbery and selected members to execute it. Another participant was Ryan Sedlack. Reinhardt assured the Kallman that he would be acquitted because Sedlack would testify at trial that the Kallman was not present at the scene of the robbery. Reinhardt not only failed to procure Sedlack's testimony, but supplied money and identification to facilitate his departure from the jurisdiction. Reinhardt's dual role as counsel for the Relator and Sedlack evidences an actual conflict of interest. By so doing, Reinhardt demonstrated divided loyalties destined to diminish the effectiveness of his representation at Kallmans trial. 0002000009270001FC2D921,SAM COHEN (to Tim quietly) Wow. We won. You are almost an ex-felon. JuDGE CROWLEY Unless the State retries Mr. Kallman within two weeks the Writ of Habeas Corpus will issue overturning the conviction. That is my order. It will not be necessary to rise. The judge rises and exits with his entourage and closes his door. SAM COHEN They will never retry this case or appeal it, Tim. You are free. In the hall, Sam is barraged by reporters. REPORTER What do you have to say about the Judges order? SAM COHEN A grave injustice has finally been corrected. I commend Judge Crowley for the courage he showed in issuing this ruling and that is all I have to say. CUT TO: INT. saMS OFFICE - eVENING Sheila brings in the late newspapers and throws them on Sams desk. Tim is there. We see the headlines. Newspapers Lawyer Framed Client, Court Rules. Judge Brings To An End One Of The Strangest Instances Of Vietnam-era Political Dirty Tricks. SAM COHEN Well, lets go to see Mel. We need a victory celebration. This doesnt happen too often. DISSOLVE TO: INT. small office in d.c. government building - DAY The door says Special Operations. Two men in suits and a third in military uniform are sitting at a table. First man We have a problem. I want you to know that I have the complete authority of the Director and he has the President's assurances also. So you should know that we are protected. Second man Yeh, I know about your problem, and I also have a problem. FIRST MAN From what I've been reading in the Post, I would say you have a mountain of problems. That Woodward jerk and the other guy have been giving it to you with that Deep Throat individual. SECOND MAN What a bitch. And why? Because I have been loyal to the President. But I understand the game. You protect the flag. The knight is sacrificed to save the king. I accepted that when I went to work for the Man. The operations we set up in about three hundred towns are my real problem. The whole thing is starting to unravel. Several cities have been sued over the fucking Red Squad allegations of illegal activities. All the agencies are looking to duck and blame, and no good can come of that. They all have to be quietly closed down. The Congressional investigations are getting close to the President on the Watergate deal, and to me and my involvement in it. 0002000008610002054E85B,FIRST MAN Close them down, then. You have our approval on that, but we are not involved with Watergate, and you are on your own on that deal. The Director wants me to convey that to you. Our immediate problem is an important factor in your Plumber operation problem. We have some of those Phoenix guys developing consciences. A couple of them are into one of those mind-clearing cults, and two are off into some left-wing Jesus thing. They are likely to tell anything in the name of therapy or confession, and we don't need to have people like L. Ron Hubbard or Sun Myung Moon getting access to the Phoenix files. SECOND MAN Or Pat Robertson. FIRST MAN Yes, of course. Some of them are capable of selling their services and their testimony on the world market, and they might blow the whistle on some problematical stuff. We have it contained so far. Third man We've heard the rumblings too. It's the guys outside. The ones still in the Army are loyal. Exactly how many are we talking about? FIRST MAN Thirteen, at this point. They all went into Plumber's operations with various patriotic front groups after they left the service. We have Company operatives hooked up with most of them, mostly females. Three are gay, by the way. Look, to the point, we have decided that we have to terminate this program with extreme prejudice. If the American Public ever becomes aware that there are government assassins walking loose among us, it would scare the hell out of them. Of course, the mob has their own but they try to keep it within the brotherhood. That's why sometimes we use them. You know what I mean? SECOND MAN Who are you going to use to terminate the others? Who are they? THIRD MAN I call them the Praetorian Guard, an interesting bunch of kids, most of them. As you say, they exist to protect the flag. These Phoenix guys are on the loose now that the Plumbers are closing down. There is nobody who wants them and nobody to pay them. They are most likely to end up working for somebody whose interests are contrary to our own. They just have to disappear. Okay, we are in agreement. The remaining Phoenix vets will have to go. 00020000091F00020DA9919,FIRST MAN Let's go over to VPs and order some lobster tails and kickback some malts. I've got some Cohias that I smuggled in from a Caribe cruise. You know, I read in one of the Phoenix guys files that he likes to raise Piranhas. He is about to find himself in the tank, and boy, does he have a surprise coming. We have one of our best on him. SECOND MAN Hey, what'ya say we get some tight-assed big-tit hookers tonight, some of that special dark southtown stuff. What do ya say about that? FIRST MAN Hey, if you knew which department my wife is Director of, you wouldn't even joke about that. The first man hands out cigars. They light them up and sit back taking deep puffs with smiles on their faces. CUT TO: INT. sAMS OFFICE-- DAY Sheila is sitting at her desk crying. Sam comes out of his office and stands next to her. ShEILA STARR You've got to do something. I want you to find a way to get Tim arrested, and locked up for a few days. SAM COHEN What? I hope that stupid fucker hasn't done anything to you. SHEILA STARR No, no, it's not to protect me from Tim. It's to protect Tim. You have to keep him locked up for a few days until I can calm him down. SAM COHEN What the hell are you talking about? ShEILA STARR Tim and I have been well, dating. SAM COHEN You're fucking Clark Kent? ShEILA STARR He's a really wonderful man, Sam, he really is and he is going to get himself killed. You have to stop him. SAM COHEN Sheila, if I called in every marker I have in this town, I still couldn't talk anybody into the kind of fix you're talking about. I'm not sure even that sidestepping fuck Carey could pull that off. And for how long? ShEILA STARR I don't know. I'm just afraid I've gone and got him killed. SAM COHEN How could you do that? ShEILA STARR Please, Sam, I don't want you to make a big thing of this, but back a little while ago, I was raped. SAM COHEN What? By whom? ShEILA STARR By Ryan Sedlack. After you quit, he came looking for you and he found me here. Youre lucky you werent here. He would have killed you. It was it was very unpleasant, but nothing I can't live with. But Sam, today Tim found out about it. It started with something I said in a nightmare, and then it all came out. Now Tim has decided to go hunt Ryan down and kill him. Ryan will kill him, Sam, he doesn't have a chance. 000200000661000216C265B,SAM COHEN Look, I don't think there is a way I can do that, no matter how much I would like to help. I don't think there is any way legally or otherwise that I can stop him from going after Sedlack. Sam puts his hand on her arm reassuringly. SAM COHEN But where is he going to go? Nobody knows where Ryan Sedlack is. ShEILA STARR That's not true. I know where he is, and so does Tim. SAM COHEN What? Everybody is looking for him, and you know where he is and you haven't told anyone? Why not? ShEILA STARR Because I don't want him back here. I don't want him in the same town with me, in jail or not. He has a way of getting out too fast. SAM COHEN What do you mean, you know where he is? Where? ShEILA STARR He's in New Mexico again. I did some research on that bracelet, Sam. It looks like Indian jewelry, but the Indians did not make it. Most of their jewelry comes out of Gallup and Grants, and it has the marks on the back of the Zuni, or Hopi, or one of the other tribes that made it. His wasn't made by the Indians, though the stone is real, and quite certainly worth what he was saying. It is not from the western reservations, but from an area called Cerrillos, in eastern New Mexico. The pale powder blue is very prized, and to find the dark green streaks and the black matrix too is very unusual. Indians usually do such cabochon work with a back plate and a bezel, but that one was made by some kind of casting process as a single piece. The unusual initials VZ on the back, we traced to a jeweler named Victor Zohn, in the little town of Carrizozo. Zohn it turns out also runs a gun shop there. SAM COHEN 000200000B0500021D1DAFF,Why didn't you file charges for the rape? ShEILA STARR Sam, Ryan Sedlack isn't just a rapist. He does that, yes, but he is really a killer, a thrill killer. That's what he really wants. For him rape is just a murder that didn't go all the way. Until the very last second, I was sure he was going to kill me, and I think he was sure he was going to kill me too. I don't know what changed his mind, but I could never give him another chance, never go through that again. And it's no fun knowing that as long as he is alive, I'll never feel safe. SAM COHEN Well, tell Tim not to do anything and I will see what I can do. CUT TO: EXT. in new mexico - DAY Ryan is sitting outside a shack in the desert in the middle of nowhere sipping a Budweiser. RYAN (V.O.) Things have always looked pretty simple to me. If you're not ready to kick my ass, then fuck off. I have no sympathy for victims. The Army trained me to do what I do, but they didn't make me what I am. The notorious Legion Of Justice turned out to be a pack of pussies. It was still a damn good idea, as far as I was concerned, and we did get to do some good work once in a while. So now I'm holed up back in New Mexico again. I figure sooner or later the fucks are going to send somebody out here to put that last stamp into my file, and the fucker had better be good. I hope they send that big dumb fuck Kallman down here. I could smell his toothpaste, deodorant, and cologne from two blocks. I'll feed his dick to my piranhas. I'm getting tired of keeping these fucking piranhas fed. One of these days I am going over to the marina at the state reservoir, and just dump them right in it. So far it's been quiet here, which has been fine with me. I could learn to like it. CUT TO: EXT. iN MATAS VAN - EVENING Mata diaz (V.O.) I first read Ryan Sedlack's file when he was assigned to the Legion Of Justice after his military tour. Officially, the Company is not tasked with domestic close surveillance. That is supposed ot be the FBI's job, but we had been tracking him from the first. Sedlack always thought he was just on some kind of special Army assignment, but he was working for us all along. The man's record was astonishing, in Cuba, in Bolivia, Guatemala, Laos, Angola, Vietnam... very impressive, especially to someone like myself, trained in the same modalities. I had no trouble becoming attached to him, as we share a fondness for rough sex, and I found him attractive. Frankly, I enjoyed it. When Simon told him to jump bail, I was to find a way to go with him, so I was surprised when he called me. It made my job easy. When Ryan decided to get into the local dope market, I was instructed to return to Chicago. The bust was, of course, a setup. I arrived in Carrizozo early evening and ran some recon, as we already had his location. 0002000006070002281C601,CUT TO: EXT. on a road in the desert - EVENING Mata makes a drive-by past Ryans house in her van with New Mexico plates. There is an old pickup truck parked in the drive. Mata parks a way off from the cabin to observe for a while with her binoculars. Another vehicle drives by and appears to be casing the place also. Mata sees Tim Kallman in the car. Tim is driving back toward town. Mata follows him and he stops at the same cafe. Mata waits until Tim goes in. She takes a valve-stem wrench from her glove compartment and goes over and carefully lets all of the air out of two of his tires. Cut TO: EXT. in matas Van - EVENING Mata drives to the top of a little hill about half a mile away from Ryans cabin. She opens the back doors of the van, and raises up one of the seats where there is a single-shot .50 cal. spotter rifle, connected to a starlight powered telescope sight with a laser and silencer. Through the scope she sees clearly into the living room, where Ryan is feeding his piranhas. She carefully adjusts the split-image range finder to get it in focus. She centers crosshairs on the piranha tank. Ryan stands in front the tank, gazing out the window. Mata puts the crosshairs on his chest. Mata diaz(V.O.) Not the paranoid Ryan of old. He's getting pretty soft and sloppy. I put out of my mind all the times we spent together, and the smell of him on me, and the way he felt, and the way he made me feel. As a professional, I had been through all that in my mind already, and had made my peace with it. 0002000009FA00022E1D9F4,Ryan turns around and stands looking into the tank with his back to Mata. She makes her final laser check. The red spot appears in the middle of his back. Mata pulls the trigger. The big gun makes a loud whop and jumps. Ryan throws his arms back as the bullet rips his spine and heart out, and the fish tank behind him shatters and splashes. He falls forward onto the shattered glass, and a long spear of glass penetrates through his side. Mata quickly closes the doors, packs the gun, and departs. CUT TO: EXT. oUTSIDE A CAFE IN CARRIZOZO, N.M. - DAY Kallman watches a mechanic putting on the last tire. He sees cop cars and ambulances heading out to the road to Ryan's house with lights and sirens going. He shakes his head, pays the mechanic, and drives away. CUT TO: INT. saMS OFFICE - DAY Sam sits at his chair. SAM COHEN So Ryan Sedlack came to the end he deserved. They never found the killer, of course. But there was no doubt that it was an assassination. Everything about the Ryan was wrong, and every thing he did was wrong. The government fucks were wrong to create him, and they were wrong to use him, and in the end, they were wrong to send another assassin with a badge to kill him. The lawless holders of high office were wrong to pervert the system of justice to manipulate their use of him, wrong to believe it was all right to send him to break laws just because they owned him, wrong to use him to disrupt legal associations of citizens, wrong to use him to terrorize people by violence, and wrong to knowingly exploit his sociopathic nature. The dirty tricks, the fixing of courts, the political favors, the injustice done for political ends, the blackmail, the character assassinations, the betrayals, the murders. All wrong. There were a number of investigations, including one called for by Senator Church of Idaho, but none of them ever came to anything. The bodies were too well buried. The guilty were too well entrenched. The powerful preferred the truth remain untold, and the story drifted into the morass of other tales of bad deeds done and forgotten. The more I learned about government, and law, and money, and power, the more I saw the system for what it really was, and the more I understood. There are piranhas everywhere, belonging to a hundred agencies, with a hundred agendas, and every one of them will tear your flesh right off your bones and gobble you up if that is the job. Fucking piranhas. Just fucking Piranhas. But someone has to fight them and thats what I do.
