Law & Order1990
A.D.A. Paul Robinette:
We gave him immunity as quid pro quo for his testimony. He lied. That's got to break the deal, common sense!
D.A. Adam Schiff:
Common sense has nothing to do with it. A man waives his Fifth Amendment rights by testifying.
Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone:
Whether he tells the truth or not!
D.A. Adam Schiff:
It doesn't matter, he's entitled to immunity. Do you think he killed his brother?
Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone:
No, I think he's protecting someone.
D.A. Adam Schiff:
Uh huh. Alright, then we threaten him with perjury. The idea of four years in Attica should scare the hell out of him. He'll talk.
A.D.A. Paul Robinette:
The alternative might scare him a lot more. I don't think he's protecting a friend. The man's scared.
Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone:
Well I can't say that I blame him. He saw what happened to his brother.
D.A. Adam Schiff:
A man is desperate enough to steal from his own family? Subpoena his personal records and find out who he owes money to.
Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone:
Adam, banks kill with a thousand cuts, not with a whack on the head.
D.A. Adam Schiff:
Some lenders are in a bigger hurry. Ezra dies, Isaac gets the business. It's a very good way to ensure prompt payment.
