Cleaning up.
-Burrel :-You know Senator Davis?
-Daniels:- No, sir.
- Clay Davis:- Lieutenant.
-Burrel :Clay wanted to meet you, see if there was any help he can offer.
-Daniels:- Help?
-Clay Davis:- Your people are apparently pulling finance reports and checking up on some of the contributors. I wanted to reassure you on that front. I'm not involved in drugs, Lieutenant.
-Daniels: -Good.
-Burrel : -And this business with the senator's driver.
- Clay Davis:- Mr.Price, Damien.Day-Day. This business with Mr. Price, this is a misunderstandingthat is really of no concern to the police.
-Daniels: He had $20,000 of cash on him delivered out of a project tower by a known drug suspect.The money was banded and manicured by denomination.
- Clay Davis:- There's no crime here. That was money that Damien already had on him when he drove down to Franklin Terrace. Money from a cash-bar fundraiser the previous weekend. We filed an amended finance report that shows.
-Daniels:- Fine.
- Clay Davis:-There's no probable cause for a search of Mr.Price. I think we are in agreement on that.
-Daniels:- No, there was PC for the search.
- Clay Davis:-You're saying you have evidence that a senatorial aide is involved in drugs?
-Daniels: I'm saying we had reason to stop Mr. Price and effect a body search, after which we discovered $20,000 in cash in banded, manicured bills. That's all I'm saying.
- Clay Davis:- Will you explain to this motherfucker just what it is he's doing here?
-Burrel : -Lt.Daniels-
- Clay Davis:- Fool, what do you think? That we know anything about who gives money? That we give a damn about who they are or what they want? We have no way of running down them or their stories.We don't care. We just cash the damn checks, count the votes, and move on.
