LOEW<br />
But my office has a stellar<br />
witness who will tell the grand<br />
jury that you hit back only after<br />
being hit.<br />
JACK<br />
What do I have to do?<br />
LOEW<br />
Testify against the three officers<br />
who have already earned their<br />
pensions. Our key witness will<br />
testify roundly, but you can plead<br />
ignorance to questions directed at<br />
the other men.<br />
CHIEF<br />
I'll guarantee you a slap on the<br />
wrist. A brief suspension<br />
followed by a temporary transfer<br />
from Narcotics to Ad Vice.<br />
(a beat)<br />
When you transfer out of Vice,<br />
you'll be back on the show.<br />
JACK<br />
The show, sir?<br />
CHIEF<br />
Badge of Honor, Vincennes. We<br />
need to tone down your profile for<br />
a bit.<br />
The Chief just got Jack where he lives.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
John, I doubt you've ever drawn a<br />
stupid breath. Don't start now.<br />
JACK<br />
Okay. I'll do it.<br />
Smiles all around. Loew smiles at the two-way. A move<br />
not lost on Jack who wonders who might be on the other<br />
side.<br />
CHIEF<br />
Dismissed, Vincennes.<br />
Jack leaves. The Chief steps to the mirror, looks<br />
through.<br />
CHIEF<br />
So be it. DETECTIVE Lieutenant.
