Monk, Season 3

[The federal authorities are refusing access to Warrick Tennyson]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
How long does he have?

Capt. Walter Cage:
Two, three days. He's being deposed in connection with that federal racketeering case, and they're afraid they're gonna lose him before they get what they need. They're not letting anybody else near him.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
You gave me your word.

Capt. Walter Cage:
Come on, I didn't lie to you! If we close the ambassador case...

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Look, I don't care about the frigging ambassador! He means less than zero to me, okay? My friend's wife got blown up! You understand? And it killed him, too! In a way. [silence]

Capt. Walter Cage:
If we close this case, we can call the press, we can call City Hall, we're gonna have juice. Come on, you know how this works! They won't dare say no to us. Captain, it's not just your best shot. It's your only shot.
