I know the employee responsible for the leak.

Me.

I told James St. Patrick's lawyer, Joe Proctor, that we had a female witness, one that could identify his client.

And I totally went to him with the intention of getting him to talk.

And shortly after that, Angela Valdes, James St. Patrick's mistress, ends up sh*t dead.

You understand you could be disbarred for what you just admitted?

I know.

And I told Proctor this morning that

Angela was not the witness in question.

Are you out of your mind?

I should have the marshals put you in cuffs.

If that's your decision, I'll respect it, but I believed and I still believe that Joe Proctor is our best sh*t at a comprehensive witness against James St. Patrick's criminal organization.

St. Patrick's attorney... you want him to violate privilege.

It's not gonna happen.

Proctor knows where all the bodies are buried.

He's an accomplice, if not an outright lieutenant.

My initial indiscretion was to push Proctor to flip on St. Patrick.

And this morning's admission was designed to provoke a second att*ck.

If we can catch them in the act, attempting to eliminate a witness, we'll get the whole g*ng...

St. Patrick; his wife, Tasha;

Tommy Egan, anyone else who works with them.

I want to set a trap.

And why should I let you do this, aside from the pleasure of risking my own law license and reputation?

Because Angela did not agree to turn.

Now, St. Patrick may not know this, but we... we have no paperwork with her signature.

So she was not a federal witness, and the death penalty may not apply to her m*rder.

Exactly, sir.

But if St. Patrick and Proctor try for Maria Suarez...

Your real witness.

We can make the argument that Angela's death was part of the same conspiracy, use the kingpin statute as part of the RICO, get everyone put to death.

Right. [SIGHS]
