Plot

After corporate attorney Charles Dillon is discovered dead in a hotel room, Green and Cassady investigate and learn that the company he was working for is in the process of being indicted. Their investigation leads them to a high-priced callgirl, Julia Veloso, who turns out to have been romantically involved with the company's CEO, Samantha Weaver. McCoy and Rubirosa find themselves at odds as Rubirosa wonders if McCoy's prosecution of Weaver has more to do with her gender than her guilt.

Quotes

“	A hooker's fingerprint in a man's bedroom is not a smoking gun.	”
–Arthur Branch

“	If you spy on your company and get caught, consent is implicit.	”
–Jack McCoy

Samantha Weaver: You think I am guilty because I am a woman with power.

Jack McCoy: No, I think you are guilty for the same reason you bugged your corporate headquarters - you're a person with power who couldn't bear to lose it.

Jack McCoy: Ask me how I sleep at night.

Connie Rubirosa: How do you sleep at night?

Jack McCoy: Like a baby.
