Brenda: Mr. Millbrook. Thank you so much for stopping by. How goes your motion for a mistrial?
Millbrook: It doesn't.
Brenda: I expected better of you. All right then. I have been reviewing the transcripts of this trial and in presenting your client's defense, you never once brought up his son, Vahan. And it looks like he's the one who set the fire.
Millbrook: Asourian won't let me mention the boy. And Vahan's vanished. Nobody's seen him in years.
Brenda: I keep wondering how wonderful it would be if Vahan were suddenly just to turn up. You'd get your mistrial and preserve your sterling reputation. More billable hours. All sorts of good things could happen.
Millbrook: Yes, well, Asourien won't let me mention the boy, though. He's very serious about that.
Brenda: Well, maybe we'll get lucky and someone'll just turn up with an untraceable tip that'll lead us to Vahan. And this can all end.
Millbrook: How untraceable?
Brenda: They'll find weapons of mass destruction in Baghdad first.
Millbrook: It doesn't.
