"Is that it?" Jeffrey asked, turning to face the AD. "Is that enough?"
"Doing their business… It sounds so vague…" the AD replied.
"But…" Harley added. "Isn't what he just said tantamount to a confession?"
"It should work…" the AD said. "But something a bit clearer would be even better. I think I'll give Aitoro some more time…"

Gus continued to laugh along with Jack. "Yeah… I 'm sure nobody would mind…" he said. "Drug deal would've still gone on just fine. Brad would've still gotten away…"
It took Jack a few moments to realize what he had said. The look on his face making it quite obvious that he knew, at least now after the fact, that he had been tricked into a confession. He stopped laughing and glared at Gus.
"What's wrong?" Gus said. "Don't you find it funny anymore?"
"I see that Jeffrey has educated you quite well in the art of deception…" Jack said.
"You have no power here any more, Jack." Gus said. "That's it, you're going to be locked up for life…"
"I'll get out sooner than you think…" Jack said, his eyes roaming over Gus once more. "And when I do…"
"Oh shut up!" Gus cut in before walking out of the room.

"You did it!" Harley said, wrapping her arms around Gus when he walked into the room.
"Yes…" Gus replied, nodding slightly. "That I did…"
Harley held on to him for a moment longer before pushing him away. "But why did you have to be so damn convincing?" she asked.
"Huh?" Gus said.
Jeffrey chuckled slightly before cutting in. "I think you actually had her believing it there for a minute…" he said.
Gus looked shocked. "I did?" he asked. "You thought that I…"
"Well… Frank had been mumbling all of this stuff about… And then I walked in just in time to hear you say… It was only for a brief second… You just sounded so convincing…" Harley mumbled, trying to find the right words.
"Frank…" Gus said, rolling his eyes. "Well… At least your brother was good for an idea. I don't think that I ever would've thought to use that angle if Frank hadn't planted the idea in my head."
"I've already sent agents to arrest Brad Green…" the AD said, walking back into the room. "Pretty soon this whole mess will be over with…"
"Over with?" Jeffrey said. "This case still needs to be prosecuted…"
"Yes…" the AD said. "But that's your jurisdiction, O'Neill, not mine."
