Jade

Careful.

You've got to...

No.

No! No, don't!

I'm gonna miss you.

I think you should cancel your trip to LA. I really do.

I will. If you cancel your trial.

If I do, Mr. Murphy will go to jail for 30 years.

He deserves it.

How could you defend a no-good son of a bitch like Murphy anyway?

Have you heard of the Sixth Amendment?

He's entitled to the best counsel that he can buy.

I mean, that he can get.

Got it right the first time, honey.

You have to understand something.

Mr. Murphy doesn't think of himself as a no-good son of a bitch.

He gives to charities. He reads bedtime stories to his kids.

You're breaking my heart, Matt.

Getting slow in your old age, Gavin?

Thank you for inviting me.

It was Matt's idea.

It was?

He couldn't believe you grew up here and never went to a Black and White Ball.

- Well, I had other priorities. - Really?

Is everything Matt's idea?

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

It's past your bedtime, David.

I love you, Trina.

Telephone call for Mr. Corelli.

Mr. Corelli, phone call for you at the lounge.

Where's your phone?

Corelli.

What? How?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Why, yes, you did. Yes, yes.

David, was it something I said?

Kyle Medford's dead.

What?

Oh, my God. I just saw him today.

- You did? - Yes.

We were talking about acquiring the new Matisse for the museum.

- What happened, David? - We met at his house.

He was murdered.

- It's a freak show, David. - I'm not here.

- Right. - Who's in charge?

- Hargrove and Vasko. Suspects?

- Not yet. You're on call this week?

Yeah.

You just hit the jackpot.

Hey.

We're guessing time of death about four hours ago.

- Wanna take a look upstairs? - Okay.

Let's get all these people out of here. They're stepping on evidence.

Fine.

Black tie, Mr. Prosecutor?

Four separate cuts. Two to the jugular.

Take a look at this little goody.

Some kind of an African hatchet.

David, it's a fertility mask.

The maid says he collected them.

He was wearing it when she found him here about two hours ago.

The maid was off. She came back about 8:00 after seeing a movie.

- She found him like this. - The weapon belongs to him.

It's gonna be tough to show premeditation.

This is rage.

Make sure we get some random blood samples out of that room.

- Yeah, absolutely. - Let's print the toilet tank.

- Maybe he took a leak. - Or she.

- Get anything in here? - I got a couple of prints off the creamer

in the tea set.

Did they dust it yet? I don't know.

We're wrapping up, so we'll be going.

All right, all right.

Send the ID tech guy out with the prints to the computer lab.

The lab clear this room?

- Yeah, they're done. Mmm-hmm.

We're gonna see if we can get a hit this time.

That'd be nice.

- The body. Yes.

See what needs to be disposed of.

All right. Flip it.

Karen.

- Let's get these to the lab. - What are they?

Well, either he collected pubic hair or he's auditioning for a Clairol ad.

We're all done inside.

Paramedics are finishing up. We're gonna head out, okay?

All right. Don't log this until I tell you, okay?

- What is it? - I'll tell you later.

We got prints on the hatchet.

Perfect 14-pointers.

Can I get a search warrant on Medford's phone records?

No. His privacy's gone.

The media's gonna turn this into an X-rated gangbang.

Everything goes through me, okay?

You gotta be loving this shit.

- I'm sorry? - Well, next year's an election year, isn't it?

Good to see you.

Good to see you, too, Corelli.

Better call Clifford, bring him up to speed.

- What are you laughing at? Uh-huh? - I'm not.

- Well, next year is an election year, isn't it? - Is it?

- We'll talk later. - Yeah, see you.

- David, this is Mr. Wong. - Mr. Wong.

Ask Mr. Wong if he recognizes this.

Yes, it was bought at his store.

He says it's very good silver from Shandong province in China.

Did he do the engraving?

No, it was done in Hong Kong.

For who?

It was made for a rich man who lives here.

A gift from a beautiful woman.

Ask him what this means.

It means "Jade."

Jade.

- Good morning, Al. - Morning, Mr. Gavin.

Thank you.

See you in a couple of days.

- Okay. - All right.

I'll call you.

- Be good. Always. You be careful.

- Morning, Mrs. Gavin. - Morning, Nick.

Would you care for some breakfast this morning?

- Just some coffee. - Okay.

We're ready, Mrs. Gavin.

Father, you are holy indeed.

And all creation rightly gives you praise.

All life, all holiness comes from you.

Through your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord

by the working of the Holy Spirit.

From age to age, you gather a people to yourself

so that from east to west, a perfect offering may be made to the glory of your name.

And so, Father, we bring you these gifts.

We ask you to make them holy by the power of your spirit,

that they may become for us the body and blood of your son,

our Lord, Jesus Christ...

What are you doing here?

I just took Trina to the airport.

- You free for lunch? - You see the papers?

Hey, it's the case you've been dreaming about.

It'll put your ambitious, skinny ass into the big office.

You're going to be the next District Attorney of San Francisco.

Where'd she go?

LA, just for a couple of days.

You think she's coming back?

Maybe when we get a divorce you can marry her.

Cool.

She said you were a terrible lover.

Ah. She lies to protect your frail ego.

She said that's why she chose me.

Everybody makes mistakes.

You finally admit that?

You still playing? - Sure.

See you at 1:00? - Take your best shot.

Medford was having money problems.

Last year he lost eight million dollars on the yen.

That's what he gets for betting the yen.

And there's something else.

- We've got a problem. - It's only a problem if we make it a problem.

We found a roll of film in Medford's safe.

- Some kind of a gag? - No gag.

Those pictures are not relevant to this investigation.

- Who is the girl? - Well, now that is a relevant question.

- Let's find her. - We don't know anything about her.

It's a waste of time.

Well, we know one thing. She's not a nun.

What about the gentleman?

You want to bring him in? I'm not making that call.

I'll take care of it. Okay?

You're telling me you got pictures of the Governor with some hooker?

Keep that to yourself.

What are you gonna do about it? - I'm gonna see him tomorrow.

He could turn you into road Kill.

No shit!

Why don't you come downtown?

- As a partner? - Eventually.

What for?

- Money. Real money. - No.

I'm having too much fun doing what I'm doing.

There's only three fun things in life, paesano. Money, sex and power.

Two out of three's not bad.

Be careful your dream case don't blow your brains out.

What's this divorce stuff?

That. I was just yanking your chain.

Uh-huh?

- You guys okay? - Yeah.

Don't look so disappointed, David.

You're a cynical son of a bitch, man.

Yeah, that's why we're friends.

Governor, Mr. Corelli.

Morning, sir.

David.

Good to see you. It's always good to see our rising young stars,

even if they're plotting headaches for my incumbent friends.

- I like your boss. - So do I.

Word on the street is that you were thinking about opposing him.
