• Jeb Haas : I didn't kill anybody. I never saw Foster and I never went into his house.

  Kimball Cho : Nice if you could prove that.

  Jeb Haas : I can't. But I do have some particular information on that evening. Information that you want.

  Kimball Cho : Okay.

  Jeb Haas : Uh-uh. Not I get a deal on the theft and the breaking and entering charges. A good one, too.

  Kimball Cho : You want a deal? Okay. And just to be clear, is this a deal for the theft and B&E alone, or the tax evasion as well?

  Jeb Haas : What?

  Kimball Cho : According to your IRS records, you haven't filed a tax return since 2002. Unless you haven't earned a dime in income in seven years, you're facing some pretty serious tax evasion charges. Do you have any idea how much prison time that carries?

  Jeb Haas : Prison time?

  Kimball Cho : Serious time. Massive fines. I'm gonna let you think about it.

  Jeb Haas : [Cho stands to leave]  When I was loading stuff out of the poolhouse, I saw a car in the woods. A black BMW. There was somebody sitting in the driver's seat; Foster's wife.

  Kimball Cho : Lilian Foster?

  Jeb Haas : I've seen her in town. She sat there the whole time; she never even noticed me. She just... stared at the house.

  Kimball Cho : Was she still there when you left?

  Jeb Haas : Yes.

  [Cho turns to leave again] 

  Jeb Haas : So you'll do something, I mean about the tax thing?

  Kimball Cho : Don't worry. I was lying about that.
