Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
And I hope to contribute to the legacy of my father.
Thank you, Liz.
Today is a new day right here.
We're still getting some things in place.
Um, you'll notice some walls need painting.
Some chairs are missing. We just opened up the 22nd floor,
so you'll probably see some cranky associates down there.
- [ALL CHUCKLING] - But the key:
we're growing.
ALL: Yes.
Don't you think we should have a moment of silence
for Dan Oxenbold?
Right.
I don't know how many of you knew Dan.
He was shot down yesterday.
So let's just offer a moment here.
Good.
Rest in peace, Dan.
One bit of new business.
We may find that some older clients drift away
due to the loss of Carl.
Maybe you could talk to Carl's clients?
Oh, sure, sure.
What about Dan Oxenbold's clients?
- ADRIAN: What about 'em? - They don't have
a lawyer anymore.
Why aren't we going after them?
I'm not sure we're ready...
JULIUS: It's a little harsh,
don't you think?
- Can't we at least wait until after the funeral? - Yeah, sure,
if we want to lose them to someone else.
He has one client that's not gonna go long without a lawyer.
Who?
Joe Swoboda.
Heating oil business.
$133 million in assets.
Why isn't he gonna go long without a lawyer?
"Given that I used to work for the Department of Justice,
there is certain information I cannot divulge."
But there's a case
- building against him? - Again,
given my previous job,
I cannot divulge information
that would subject me to a disbarment hearing.
And yet you would advise soliciting this client,
because he will soon have an increase in billable hours?
Yes.
ADRIAN: Okay.
I'll give him a call.
Why don't we have Liz do it?
Great.
Not bad.
At least you have a desk.
So, what do you need?
Maia Rindell.
- Okay. - Her prosecution
starts today.
Right now, in fact.
You used to be the prosecutor, so I know you can't mention
any specifics, but Maia Rindell
is my goddaughter, and I just...
I just wanted to know...
what to think about her case.
You know the difference between this office
and the U.S. Attorney's Office?
No.
We have walls.
Actual...
Okay, I, uh... I developed the strategy on that case,
and it is tough.
It's a slam dunk.
I'm sorry,
but they know she's a little fish.
They're just going after her
so they can get to her father.
Maia doesn't know where Henry is.
They don't believe her.
Look, if I were her, I'd plead out.
She might get one year.
I don't think she can do that.
Well, then I'd reject
the prosecution's motion for continuance.
Colin Morrello got all of my cases
dumped on him.
Force him to fight now, and...
he may stumble.
Thanks.
I didn't say anything.
One other thing:
the prosecution is holding back a witness.
A surprise witness that will devastate Maia's case.
I don't imagine you can say who that is.
Sorry.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Uh, one second, Your Honor.
[QUIETLY]: What?
Fight the continuance.
Why? We're not ready.
They're not readier.
How do we know that?
I can't say.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, Your Honor,
this is the third continuance requested by the prosecution.
At a certain point, we need to go to trial.
We're ready. We've been ready for a while.
Uh, I'm sorry, Your Honor, but this is not my case.
Liz Reddick retired, and I inherited
- her caseload... - Oh, wait a minute.
She didn't retire.
She was fired by Donald Trump.
COLIN: What? She was not f... No,
this has nothing to do with Donald Trump, uh, Your Honor.
Liz Reddick chose to resign. She didn't...
- Before Donald Trump could fire her. - Oh, please, Lucca,
will you stop playing the judge's politics?
I'm not playing anything, Colin.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop.
Were you two fighting in my court a year ago?
What? No.
- This court? I'm not s... - I am not going
to spend the next few days
listening to you two screaming at each other.
Uh, shake hands.
The world is angry enough without you two
bringing it in here.
Go ahead.
[SIGHS]
Good. [STAMMERS]
N-Now look each other in the eye.
We're all professionals in here.
In fact, let's say that. "I respect you..."
BOTH: I respect you and we're all professionals in here.
Good. Now let's live it.
Now, regarding your motion, this is, in fact,
your third continuance, Counselor.
And as much as I have issues
with our current... reality star president,
I overrule your motion purely on the grounds
of the speediness of justice.
I hope whoever's texting you knows what they're doing.
Your Honor, I share your concern about our president,
and especially about the nepotism of Ivanka and Jared.
- Mm. - It's upsetting
how they get around the usual rules regarding nepotism.
That's why I move
that Reddick/Boseman be excluded
from representing Maia Rindell.
- What?! - Ah!
Ah-ah-ah. No. We just shook hands.
If I could finish? Liz Reddick used to be the prosecutor on this case,
- and now she works at their firm. - Your Honor,
there is a Chinese wall at a firm...
Yes, like the Chinese wall at the White House.
- And how effective do you think that is? - Your Honor,
there is no connection between the issues
at the White House and this case.
- You just said there was. - With the firing
of Liz Reddick, not with the rest of it.
- Okay, thank you. I just, I just... - [ALERT DINGS]
Oh, my God.
This world.
Um, sorry. Uh, Ms. Quinn
has been on the case since the beginning,
far predating Mrs. Reddick's
move to her firm. On top of that,
the defendant does have
a Sixth Amendment right to choice of counsel.
So, again, I overrule the motion.
Okay, can we get started now?
Or do we want to fight about what to eat for lunch?
[HORN HONKING]
DIANE: He was a good man.
What?
Your lawyer! He was a good man.
Oh. Yeah.
I didn't shoot him.
Oh. I didn't think you did.
I mean, we argued. I don't like to be overbilled.
- That's all. - Just so you know:
we don't overbill, sir.
- Ah. - Uh, do you know
Liz Reddick from the Department of Justice?
She just joined us.
Uh, she just joined us!
- Ah! - Mr. Swoboda, I-I'm so sorry
about your lawyer.
It's a bad time to be without one.
Am I being indicted?
Well, obviously, Liz can't share any of that information.
But it would be a good time to have a lawyer.
And you're the best one to help me?
- Oh, without a doubt. - Why is that?
I mean, you can't use anything you know about the case.
Right? You got to sit on your hands.
Yeah, but here's-here's what I can do.
I know how the other side works
and how they think. I know what
their pressure points are.
I know how to fuck with them.
[CHUCKLES] Okay.
But here's my problem.
You got competition here. Hey!
You! Other lawyer, over here.
Liz.
Tim.
What are you doing here, Tim?
You think you're the only ex-prosecutor looking
- for clients? - That's funny, 'cause
I distinctly remember you saying
you were going to work for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
- Changed my mind. - You wouldn't be here peddling
information about grand jury proceedings, would you?
DIANE: Your competition?
Yep. Tim Shefflin.
Piece of shit, but he's a good lawyer.
That's okay.
Sharpens the mind.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
Of course.
- I can take the next one. - No, no, no.
These elevators take forever. You'll be here till Thursday.
Come on.
[DOORS CLOSE]
[DINGS]
So how personal is this?
- Excuse me? - Your prosecution.
- [DINGS] - How much is it about us?
[CHUCKLES] That's right.
I've been crying myself to sleep ever since we broke up.
- Anybody else and you'd be plea bargaining. - Anybody else
and you'd have your client tell us where Henry is.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
So, are you fucking her?
[CHUCKLES]: Okay.
LUCCA: She looks at you with these big Thumper eyes.
- Jealous? - Not the first word that springs to mind.
See you in court, Counselor.
What was that about?
Just some trash-talking.
They have a surprise witness.
- And we know this from your secret texter? - Mm-hmm.
Is it Liz Reddick?
I can't say.
- Who's the witness? - They don't know.
Well, then they're not much help, are they?
Let's focus.
How long have you been a teacher at Lake Forest, Ms. Heinberg?
25 years.
And how did you come to invest in the Rindell Fund?
It was through Maia.
She was a student in my sociology class.
I remember one day the topic was...
income inequality, and she suggested
that I invest with her father.
[CRYING]: I feel like such a fool.
Did Maia ever apologize to you,
show any remorse?
No. Not a word.
COLIN: No further questions, Your Honor.
Hi.
- Hi. - My mother
- was a teacher, actually. - Oh.
- So I remember how hard... - Objection.
As fascinating as Ms. Quinn's biography is, relevance.
Sustained, but the tone there?
Just on the edge, Counselor.
- My apologies, Your Honor. - Is there any compensation
to your job other than money,
- Ms. Heinberg? - What do you mean?
- Are there other ways you are paid? - Yes.
The joy of seeing a young mind grasp a new concept.
And what about the free Botox treatments?
COLIN: O-Objection.
Uh, relevance.
It goes to credibility, Your Honor.
Well, I'm intrigued how we get from teaching to Botox,
so, uh, cautiously overruled.
You did receive free Botox treatments
from the mother of a student who was a dermatologist,
did you not?
- She offered it. - And did you receive
gifts from other parents, as well?
Objection. Vague.
Then let me clarify.
Did you receive...
season tickets to the symphony,
an apartment in London for the month of July,
a guesthouse on Martha's Vineyard
for the month of August...?
Some parents are deeply appreciative
- of the learning environment. - Right.
So appreciative that they swore out these affidavits.
Here you go.
Affidavits stating
that they felt pressured by you
to offer these gifts.
That it was a quid pro quo
for your glowing letters of recommendation.
That's not true, and I'm deeply offended
by the implication.
I don't think I'm implying anything, ma'am,
I'm asking questions.
And now I'm done.
Do I get to defend myself?
No. That's not how this works.
She gets to defend herself. You...
are excused, ma'am.
Call Amy Breslin
to the stand.
[MOUTHS]
The surprise witness?
I think so.
What will she say?
[PHONE CHIMES]
They just sprang the surprise witness on us.
No.
How do you know?
Because the surprise witness couldn't possibly
be on the stand right now.
Why not?
Because the surprise witness is...
_
COLIN: You and Maia Rindell have lived together
for, uh...
was it three?
What is it, four years?
Yes.
Is it fair to say that you two are in love?
I think it is.
And you live in a 2,000-square-foot apartment
on Lake Shore Drive
- with a rent of... - [CLICKING TONGUE]
- You have that? Uh... - Yeah.
No, I-I-I've got it.
- Uh, is that right? - Yeah.
Oh, wow. $4,500 a month?
AMY: Uh, we used to live there.
- We don't anymore. - Oh.
Well, that's too bad. Sounds nice.
Is there a reason for the move?
We can't afford it.
Because Maia's parents were paying most of the rent?
We will stipulate that Maia's parents paid 80%
of the rent while she was at law school
- and studying for the bar. - COLIN: Thank you,
Ms. Quinn.
And you went on vacations
with the Rindell family twice a year?
Spain in the spring of 2016.
Italy in December.
We will stipulate that they also went on vacations together.
Why don't you let me ask my questions?
Okay, wait. Cooler heads.
Why are we on this tour of their lives, Mr. Morrello?
Well, Maia was receiving $300,000 a year
of her parents' money.
Money for vacations, cars,
luxury apartments.
And all of this money was stolen directly
from middle-class people like Ms. Heinberg.
ABERNATHY: Yeah, go ahead. You can proceed.
COLIN: Did your father
want to invest in the Rindell Fund, Amy?
- Yes. - And was he allowed to do so?
No.
COLIN: He wanted to cash in his IRA
and invest...
$140,000
in the Rindell Fund,
but you were told by Maia that that wasn't enough?
- Yes. - Even though her high school teacher
was allowed in the fund for less than half that amount?
Objection. Is Mr. Morrello testifying?
Yeah, uh, sustained.
Amy, is it possible
that Maia was protecting your dad
by warning him off the fund?
Objection. Speculative.
I'll rephrase.
After Maia turned down your father's money,
did you ask Maia
if something was wrong with the fund?
Y-Yes.
And what did she say?
[EXHALES]
Maia didn't say anything.
Sh-She nodded.
COLIN: Meaning there was something wrong with the fund?
AMY: That's how I understood it.
COLIN: Thank you,
- _ - Ms. Breslin,
for your honesty.
Oh, uh, one more question.
Did you and Maia ever discuss marriage?
Um...
- Would you like me to repeat the question? - Uh, no.
Uh, yes, we discussed marriage.
COLIN: Who proposed to whom?
AMY: Maia proposed to me.
COLIN: Had the indictments already been issued
for her family at that time?
LUCCA: Objection. Relevance.
ABERNATHY: It seems relevant to me.
The prosecutor is suggesting that marriage
was proposed to keep Ms. Breslin from testifying.
Spousal privilege.
Uh, uh, yes.
The indictments had already been issued.
COLIN: And you turned down the proposal?
I did.
COLIN: Why?
AMY: Uh, it...
it's complicated.
COLIN: Were you worried
that Maia had an ulterior motive for proposing?
I don't know.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
- I should testify. - No.
That's what they want.
They'll kill you.
I think they already killed me.
You could take the one year.
No, I can't.
I was already in there for two weeks.
I know, but five years, Maia?
They have a good case.
Ah, you're back. Good.
Let me show you to your new office.
- I know where it is. - No, it got moved.
You think we have a copycat situation
where clients will start threatening their attorneys?
I think it's a version of the old lawyer joke.
How do you save a lawyer from drowning?
You take your foot off his head.
[ALL LAUGH]
HOST: Seriously, though,
how much of a problem is this?
MAN: Obviously, any time someone
resorts to violence, it's a problem.
- HOST: But lawyers in particular... - [KNOCK AT DOOR]
You're coming with me.
- I'm coming with you? - To drink.
And I will not be denied.
I need to know what this place is all about.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Um, give me ten minutes.
- There's also some of that brought on... - Okay.
By the lawyers themselves.
HOST: Until you need them, right?
MAN: Exactly.
He's a son of a bitch, but he's my son of a bitch.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Maia, you can find a cubicle.
It's still a hot desk system,
so keep your laptop with you.
And here we go, Lucca.
Your new office.
Uh, my office is right across from you.
Sounds good.
I thought you'd be more unhappy.
Would you excuse me?
Hi.
Want to include me in on this?
Um, it's just a thought.
About Maia's case?
Yes.
But you can't tell me?
I was talking about Amy's testimony.
Diane, this is silly.
You're telling Maia, and Maia is telling me.
Let's just cut out the middleman.
Is all this information coming from our new name partner?
Amy's not the surprise witness.
She isn't?
Who is?
What do you know?
The Rindell Foundation.
I drew up the papers of incorporation.
They're gonna come after me for my work on the foundation.
- That is not good. - No.
The advantage that this gives us is we know it's coming.
- We prepare your testimony. - Yes.
And I act surprised when they subpoena me.
That's a start.
I will call Colin.
Ask if he can do any better than a year.
I think I might have another option.
What?
I can't say right now.

She was my old tennis coach hired by my parents,

He has evidence that will prove
I am not responsible for the foundation.
Make that clear if you speak to her.
It's not about my dad returning, okay?
It is not about him giving up his freedom.

COLIN: Thank you for testifying
on such short notice, Ms. Lockhart.
I didn't have much choice, I was subpoenaed.
Your Honor, again, this is prosecution by ambush.
We are not prepared for this surprise witness.
ABERNATHY: Yes, and as I said,
you will have time if you need it.
Please, continue.
COLIN: You drew up the documents incorporating
the Rindell Foundation as a 501(C)(3).
- Is that right, Ms. Lockhart? - Yes.
And what was the stated purpose of the Rindell Foundation?
To provide medical and educational assistance
in the Third World.
That's a worthy goal.
Do you know how much medical
and educational assistance
the foundation provided to the Third World?
- I do not. - Would it surprise you to know
that it delivered zero?
No dollars. No goods.
Objection. Counselor is testifying.
Yes, and quite well. Overruled.
COLIN: Did Henry Rindell ever ask you to draw up
an addendum to the Rindell Foundation incorporation?
He did.
And did you have any issues with this addendum?
- I did. - Why?
I thought it was questionable, ethically.
It mixed funds from the Rindell Fund
with those of the foundation.
COLIN: In fact, it allowed
Mr. Rindell to park funds
in order to avoid SEC investigations.
Why did you draw up this addendum?
I was ordered to.
By whom?
It was just a signed memo.
She probably didn't know what she was signing.
Ms. Lockhart.
Who ordered you to mix the funds?
The memo was signed by Maia Rindell.
[PHONE VIBRATES]
[CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY]
ABERNATHY: Um, everything all right, Ms. Rindell?
Uh, yes, Your Honor. My apologies... an emergency.
Oh, okay. Uh, well, we'll take a short recess.

Yes. Wait, one second.
It's Rosalie.
Rosalie? Not her sister?
No, Rosalie.
Hello.

Yes.
How are you doing?
I... good.
I-I mean, no, not really.
How's your second serve?
Probably about the same.
I-I haven't played in a long time.
Well, you should get back to it.
I might.
Hey, where are you living these days?
Do you mind if I don't answer that?
It's kind of tricky here right now.
I understand.
But, uh, I need something from you.
I need to speak to my father.
I haven't seen your father in years, Maia.
Rosalie, that is not true.
It is true.
The FBI showed me a photo of you, in Dubai,
taking money out of his account.
Look, I know my dad isn't coming back anytime soon.
I... I just really need to talk to him.
I have to get off the phone now, Maia.
No, no. Wait. Listen to me.
The FBI told me something that will help you both,
something that will help you avoid them.
Rosalie?
I'm here.
I want to make a trade with my dad.
I need a piece of information from him that will keep me
out of prison.
Now, I'm gonna give you the number of another burner cell,
and I need my dad to call me tomorrow morning
at 11:00 Chicago time.
And if he doesn't,
then I am going to let the FBI find both of you.
LUCCA: Ms. Lockhart, could you read
the CEO obligations in these articles of incorporation?
"Oversee board of the directors,
any fundraising and financial management,
oversight of infrastructure and foundation budget."
LUCCA: And these articles are,
in fact, for another nonprofit, correct?
DIANE: It appears to be.
But the language itself
is almost exactly the same as from Maia's foundation?
- Yes. - Now, this is a memo
signed by...
the other nonprofit's CEO.
Could you tell me what it states?
That nonprofit funds should be mixed
with the sponsoring body's for-profit funds...
I'm sorry. Objection.
What... what is this? Another nonprofit?
- Why are we looking at this? - We're trying to show
that the memo signed unknowingly by Maia...
Objection to "unknowingly."
I'll withdraw.
That the memo signed by Maia
is not all that unusual for a nonprofit CEO.
Well, this seems like a long way around, but... sure,
- overruled. - Now, Ms. Lockhart,
what is the stated purpose of this other nonprofit?
Could you please read there?
"To supply South American countries
with legal assistance and education."
A worthy goal. Yes?
- Yes. - And according to this document,
has the Kerry Foundation yet fulfilled this goal?
Yeah, okay, got it, got it. I got it.
- Thank you. - I don't.
Uh, it's a foundation
of which I am on the board.
We have actually not done all that much,
and I am responsible for us meeting
once in... six years.
And yes, I signed that memo
- without looking at it. - Your Honor,
- we mean no offense. - No, none taken.
I... We-we should have done better.
Yes, but, Your Honor, your nonprofit was not used
to park money from a Ponzi scheme.
Yes. But if I'm honest, I wouldn't know it.
LUCCA: Thank you, Your Honor.
No further questions.
Um, and it appears you didn't need additional time
to prepare for this witness.
We just lucked out.
ABERNATHY: Counselors, does the prosecution rest?
Counselors?
Your Honor, we have one more witness.
But it requires transporting her from Greenville.
ABERNATHY: So she's incarcerated?
Uh, yes, Your Honor. It's the defendant's mother,
Lenore Rindell.
What could your mother say?
I really don't know.
Did she ever mention
anything that was incriminating?
If she's testifying
against you, that means they've offered her a deal.
If they've offered her a deal,
she has something to say that can hurt you.
LENORE: You want to know all the details
of running an investment fund?
[LAUGHS]: No.
No, I...
I just want to know if there's a problem.
LENORE: There's lots of problems.
We should be prepared
to attack her credibility.
You have no idea...
what she's going to say?
LENORE: The people
who invest with us
believe your father walks on water.
And he wants them to go on believing that.
What does that mean?
He offsets his losses.
Offsets them how?
I don't know how.
She told me there were problems.
What sort of problems?
A system to offset losses.
But no details. I mean...
nothing else.
What do I do?
[SIGHS]
[KNOCKING]
Hey.
That was just Joe Swoboda on the phone.
The heating oil king.
And?
He's coming on board.
[SIGHS]
[LAUGHS, EXHALES]
Aah...!
Yeah.
Not bad, Miss Liz...
first week.
I can retire now?
You're not what I expected.
- Getting a lot of that. - Keep it up.
Oh.
Hey. I wonder if we should keep our eyes out
for bringing on another partner.
- Why? - Diane Lockhart.
She's thinking of leaving.
- What? What? - Yeah.
All these deaths now.
She's thinking of retiring.
She never said anything to you?
- No. - Oh.
Well... maybe I have it wrong.
Don't-don't say I said anything.
Let her bring it up.
But, uh, she said it was her dark night of the soul.
Anyway...
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah. Okay.

It's a little late, isn't it?
Hey, how's Ford doing?
Better. Second heart attack.
He needs to go easier.
Say hello for me.
I will.
- You know this is unorthodox? - Yes.
And if you say no, you say no.
Who do you want to see?
Lenore Rindell.
She was just transferred from Greenville.
Okay. I'll give you ten minutes with her.
Let's hope that's enough.

LENORE: "I swear or affirm
that the testimony I'm about to give
is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
ABERNATHY: Thank you, ma'am. You may sit.
Could you state your name, please?
Lenore Rindell.
And what is your address?
Uh, FCI Greenville,
satellite 2.
COLIN: And that's the female minimum security prison
- in Greenville? - Yes.
And how long have you been incarcerated?
Two months.
You pled guilty to fraud?
Yes.
And the defendant here is your daughter, correct?
Yes.
You're aware that she is on trial for fraud as well?
- Yes. - Ms. Rindell,
do you have any testimony to share with the court
regarding your daughter's guilt?
- I do. - Good.
And just so the defense doesn't have to ask you these questions,
did the Department of Justice
offer you a reduction in sentence
in trade for this testimony?
They did.
And what was that offer?
I am now serving an eight-year sentence.
That sentence would be reduced to time served.
COLIN: Thank you.
Now, could you please
tell the court what you told your daughter
regarding the fund and the foundation
on July 6, 2016.
I don't remember telling her anything.
Ms. Rindell,
did you not specifically inform your daughter
that the fund and the foundation
were being run illegally?
No. When did I do that?
Ms. Rindell, did you not warn
your daughter that she was at risk
- of going to jail? - I know what
you're talking about... We were planning a vacation.
- A vacation? - To Vail.
Somebody must have thought I said "jail."
Ms. Rindell, you... [GROANS]
Are you aware
that making false statements under oath is a crime?
- Yes. - And that any arrangement
regarding your sentence is dependent upon your testimony?
Yes.
No further questions, Your Honor.
[MOUTHS]
ABERNATHY: Anything from the defense?
No, Your Honor.
Thank you, ma'am.
You are dismissed.

What do you think?
I think my dad has a lot of issues,
but lateness isn't one of them.
- So if he hasn't called... - [PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
HENRY: Hello, sweetheart.
Dad.
It is so good to hear your voice, Maia.
Yours, too.
I'm sorry about the way this all went down.
None of it is what I wanted.
I know. I know.
I love you, Maia.
I love your mother.
I want to help you in any way I can.
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm. I know.
What is it about the Feds you wanted to say?
Uh...
they offered a deal, Dad.
If you turn yourself in,
they'll let Mom off with time served,
and I... wouldn't be prosecuted.
If they had you in custody.
Dad?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Yeah. I thought it was something about my location, Maia.
The Feds have a picture of Rosalie in Dubai?
Uh-huh.
Uh, yeah, and, uh...
another one in Italy, too.
Um, do they know exactly
where in Italy, dear?
No.
No, not yet.
How far off, Captain?
Mom's in jail, Dad,
and she is really suffering.
She had a chance to get out if she testified against me,
but she wouldn't.
- I miss you, Maia. - Sh-She...
I miss you both so very much.
Then turn yourself in.
Do you remember when I broke my arm in third grade
and... I was crying so bad,
and... and you said,
you said to me that you would do anything
to take my pain away?
Do you remember?
Well, you can.
Dad, you can.
You can take my pain away, and Mom's.
[WHISPERS]: Please.
Maia, Maia, you don't understand.
[CHUCKLES]: They'll crucify me.
There's no negotiating with them. Th-There...
I'm sorry, Maia,
but I have to go. I love you very much.
Please believe me. Hey, hey, hey, hey! Calma, calma.
Be calm. Take it easy. I'm innocent.
[OFFICERS SHOUTING IN ITALIAN]
No, no, no, no. I'm innocent.

They're-they're arresting me.
