Right of Way 68
Napolitano speaks only with his glare.
CELESTE
It's... it was... I got desperate. I'm broke.
Napolitano doesn't believe her. She breaks down, sobbing.
CELESTE
Larry sank all his money into Wilshire Boulevard. The legal fees alone were killing us. And you know me, with my lifestyle. I kept getting deeper in the hole.
(getting control)
Do you have a tissue?
NAPOLITANO
Use your sleeve. The dress is shot anyway.
CELESTE
I don't blame you for being angry, but I didn't know what to do. They offered us a hundred thousand for photos... Blackmail pictures -- of you and me.
NAPOLITANO
Who's "they"?
CELESTE
The Order. They wanted leverage so you wouldn't get in the way of their construction project.
NAPOLITANO
So you sold Larry out too.
CELESTE
I was in trouble and Larry wouldn't help me. What was I supposed to do?
She looks away.
NAPOLITANO
What about the kidnapping? You and Omar come up with that brilliant idea?
CELESTE
We were going to split the money. Please, Russ, listen to me. I needed that half-million to get back on my feet. I never wanted to hurt you.
