STAMPER (CONT’D)<br />
Doug Stamper - the Congressman’s<br />
Chief-<strong>of</strong>-Staff.<br />
HULL<br />
I thought I was meeting someone<br />
else...<br />
STAMPER<br />
No. You’re meeting me.<br />
HULL<br />
What the fuck is going on? It’s<br />
the four in the goddamn morning and<br />
I’ve got a City Council meeting<br />
in...<br />
(glances at his watch)<br />
Less than five hours.<br />
STAMPER<br />
(leans in close)<br />
You’ve been Police Commissioner for<br />
what - almost a decade now?<br />
HULL<br />
We here to talk about my resume?<br />
STAMPER<br />
Mayor <strong>of</strong> D.C. would look good on<br />
that resume, wouldn’t it?<br />
Hull sits up straighter. He’s listening now.<br />
STAMPER (CONT’D)<br />
We know you’ve been angling to run<br />
for some time. Experience is your<br />
strong suit. Endorsements and fundraising<br />
aren’t. But we can help<br />
with that.<br />

Russo is sitting on a bench, head in hands. We hear<br />
footsteps. He looks up. A COP enters, unlocks the door,<br />
opens it.<br />
COP<br />
You’re free to go.<br />
Russo stands. He’s puzzled, but he’s not about to ask<br />
questions. He exits the holding cell.<br />
45.
