[Daniel has shown up at Mike's parking lot in his bright circus wagon, having been summoned for police questioning]
Well, if you must know, I was robbed. Somebody broke into my house and stole my property.
Your drugs.
Yeah, but obviously I didn't tell the cops that. I'm not stupid.
You've already spoken to them?
A couple of them came by my house. But it's not the drugs that I care about. I mean, I care. It's my baseball cards I need back.
Your baseball cards?
Yes. I have a very valuable collection of baseball cards, and someone stole them.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised I have to tell you this. But it's probably a bad idea that you willingly talk to the police, being a criminal and all.
I'm not here as a criminal. I'm here as a crime victim. Just because I occasionally sell some pharmaceuticals, I no longer have a right to protection from crime? And I was very careful when I talked to them. I... they have no idea about my other business.
If you already made your report, why are you here?
They called me. They have a few more questions. They are very dedicated to finding this thief.
Since you're new to this, let me explain it to you. They've invited you on a fishing trip.
What's that? A fishing trip?
Those cops have no interest in helping you get your cards back. You're obviously under suspicion.
There was nothing there for them to see.
I refer you to our previous conversation and this blinking neon sign of a vehicle that says "drug dealer." They suspect you. They will get you in there, pretend to be your friend, lull you into a false sense of security, and then they will sweat you. And you will break.
I don't... I... [chuckles] I disagree.
Not open for debate. You go home now.
But I have an appointment.
Break it. And if they call you, do not answer the phone.
But- what about my baseball cards?
Cost of doing business.
No! No, no, no, I am getting those back! I will take the risk.
No, you won't, because then you'll be putting my well-being at risk.
I have to! I–I–those cards? Some of them were my dad's. I am getting them back. I'm getting them back.
[pause] I'll find your cards.
Is–is that something you do? Wow, that's–that is so generous of you.
Oh, it'll cost ya.
