NAPOLITANO
What about Gallardo?
DELAND
He said to leave Gallardo out, he won't play ball.
(off Napolitano)
I reached out to him anyway with a phone call, but I haven't heard back.
NAPOLITANO
You're kidding me right? This smells right to you?
DELAND
What smells worse is something about to go down and me sitting on the sidelines suspended with my pension in jeopardy.
NAPOLITANO
This thing's got double-cross on it bigger than the Hollywood sign.

Napolitano finishes removing his head bandages.

NAPOLITANO
Whose place is it, this mansion?
DELAND
Guy named Pizer. The girl's uncle.
NAPOLITANO
Sydney Pizer?
DELAND
You know him?
NAPOLITANO
I met a couple of his goons the other night. Got a partial off his Bentley.
DELAND
One of those guys is Hoovler's CI. Word is, they're planning to clean up Rachel 'cause she knows too much.

Napolitano tenses. He has no choice but to go along.
