Quotes 

• Chris Wade : Judge Aldrich, the evidence before you documents a close, personal relationship between Lydia Gonzales and an underworld crime boss known as El Jefe.

  Judge Aldrich : Well, how close?

  Chris Wade : Well, the U.S. Attorney's office believes that Ms. Gonzales can provide a name and identity for El Jefe, whose organization is also responsible for...

  Judge Aldrich : Dozens of brazen acts of violence and depravity in their bid to drive out the cartels and take over the nationwide distribution of cocaine and heroin.

  [to Lydia Gonzales] 

  Judge Aldrich : Ms. Gonzales, it takes a lot to get me away from my grandchildren on the night before Christmas. Now, this El Jefe, he's been terrorizing cities all across this country, and now he wants to export his violence to Cuesta Verde, but we're not gonna let that happen. Now, are you gonna tell us his identity or not?

  Lydia Gonzales : If I tell you, he'd kill me.

  Chris Wade : We've already offered to place Ms. Gonzales in the Witness Protection program. That's if she cooperates.

  Judge Aldrich : Then what's the problem? Ms. Gonzales?

  Lydia Gonzales : There's no protection from El Jefe. He can get anyone, anywhere.

  Judge Aldrich : Am I to understand you're this man's mistress?

  Lydia Gonzales : Yes, sir.

  Judge Aldrich : I don't know whether you're siento or not, but I have no sympathy for people who consort with -- with gangsters. You knew where El Jefe got his money from, didn't you?

  Lydia Gonzales : Yes, but I never...

  Judge Aldrich : You traded your morals for a life of luxury. You thought the devil could borrow your soul for a while, and that you'd get it back, eventually. Wrong. Now you have to suffer the consequences for your foolhardiness.

  [to Chris Wade] 

  Judge Aldrich : What do you plan to charge her with?

  Chris Wade : Well, numerous counts of conspiracy, perjury and obstruction of justice.

  Judge Aldrich : Ms. Gonzales, I'm ordering you held without bail, pending arraignment.

  Lydia Gonzales : You're gonna lock me up? You can't!

  Judge Aldrich : Maybe spending Christmas in jail, reflecting on your, uh, less-than-stellar choices in life will, uh, inspire you to do the right thing.

  Lydia Gonzales : Oh, but you don't understand. He'll find me! He'll kill me!

  Judge Aldrich : Officer!

  Lydia Gonzales : [as a police officer arrives and escorts her out of Judge Aldrich's office]  He'll kill me! Please, you don't understand! You don't understand! Please! Please, he'll kill me! I'm dead! I'm dead!
