Inspector Priscilla Ridley, Shades and others in “Soliloquy of Chaos”

[Interrogating Shades] You should be at Rikers right now, but I held you because I think you have something to say.

Lawyer.

I know your record Mr. Alvarez. Came up in Harlem, rode around with Cottonmouth in the late '90s, spent some time at Spofford, Sing Sing, then you made it to the big time. Went to Seagate.

Lawyer.

Cornell Stokes is dead, yet you're still alive. And I've never seen an arraignment happen so quickly. Two million dollar bail? And someone paid it in cash. Who's your new sponsor? [beat] Is it Willis Stryker?

Law. Yer.

You were part of a hostage situation, Hernan. Even if your lawyer does get you out, you won't be walking away from that. That's multiple kidnapping with weapon charges. How does 25 years to life sound to you? Minimum.

Are you serious?

Yep.

[sighs] Okay. Okay, I was in the club. I saw what happened. I know who did it.

Okay, we can protect you, but I need a name to verify. Who was it? Was it Stryker?

He goes by....."lawyer". [beat] You need me to spell it?
