UNDERSHERIFF DALLESANDRO
Mrs. Davis was kidnapped in Malibu -- that’s County jurisdiction.
CHIEF HOOVLER
I don’t care if you’re the undersheriff of the entire Western hemisphere. He’s being held as a suspect in a North Hollywood murder -- and that’s City.
UNDERSHERIFF DALLESANDRO
He’s a material witness in my kidnapping. And even if he wasn’t, he’s the mayor, and that’s a conflict of interest within LAPD. County has superior jurisdiction, so we're invoking our inter-departmental agreement of 1952, Section One. We'll handle the Davis murder, and everything associated with it.

Napolitano barely disguises a satisfied smile. Off Hoovler's slow burn --

INT. UNDERSHERIFF'S CAR - DAY

Dallesandro and Napolitano share the huge back seat.

NAPOLITANO
You’re taking me to Twin Towers?

Dallesandro pushes a button and a glass partition behind the driver goes up.

UNDERSHERIFF DALLESANDRO
Of course not.
NAPOLITANO
Then can I borrow your phone to call my office?

Dallesandro points to a phone concealed in the armrest, and Napolitano lifts the receiver.

NAPOLITANO
Where should my attorney meet me?
UNDERSHERIFF DALLESANDRO
You don’t need an attorney yet. Just get ready for dinner.
NAPOLITANO
Dinner? Where?
UNDERSHERIFF DALLESANDRO
Hollywood. With Prefect Duvane.

Off Napolitano, grateful but unclear on Dallesandro's motive --
