enough to know that was true.

You didn't trust me
enough to tell me anything

about the corruption you
discovered from the jump.

You left me scrambling to defend you,

putting my job on the line,
instead of confiding in me.

And that's not how I operate.

Not professionally, and
certainly not personally.

I have a really small
circle of trust, Ben.

Once you step outside of that,

it's damn near
impossible to get back in.

Come on, Jamie.

Jamie!
