- Your wife said something about a story.
- Yeah, I got a story for you. A big story. But first you gotta promise to help me.
- Well... I'll try to make sense.
- What I want you to do is to make a deal for me with the D.A.
- He's been trying to get something on Phil Regal for years. So he can put him away. Am I right?
- Yes.
- Because I really killed Barricks.
- You mean you want to confess that to the D.A.?
- It's my last chance to save my life. Then he'll have to believe me, won't he?
- I'll testify how Phil got me out. By strong-arming those witnesses, see?
- If I can help him get Phil, then maybe you can make a deal so I can get off for second-degree.
- Do you want me to print that, Nicky? That you confessed the Barricks murder?
- You do anything, anything you have to.
