Raymond 'Red' Reddington
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: That radio run... According to your arrest report, it was based on an anonymous tip.
- Officer Baldwin: That's correct.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: So someone called 911 and said that a white man in his 50s wearing a suit and a hat was in the vicinity of the Red Brau Tavern and that man had a gun.
- Officer Baldwin: Yes.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: And this tip came from someone you never spoke to, someone who also refused to give his or her name to the police operator.
- Officer Baldwin: Yes.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Completely anonymous, not a trusted source known to have been reliable in the past.
- Officer Baldwin: That's true, but I didn't arrest you based only on the tip. I conducted my own investigation.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: What investigation was that?
- Officer Baldwin: I asked for identification.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Which I provided immediately.
- Officer Baldwin: A false ID.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: No, you didn't know that at the time. That license was created by the preeminent document forger in the world. Not in this country. On the planet. There's not a chance you could have known it was a fake.
- Officer Baldwin: You looked nervous. Furtive.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Officer Baldwin, I've been evading the police and law enforcement for almost 30 years. I'm the most wanted man in the world. At the time of our encounter, I was armed with a Browning 9-millimeter semi-automatic with a round in the chamber and the hammer cocked. Do you really expect this court to believe that a marshmallow disguised as a patrol officer, a comic figure in an ill-fitting uniform, could possibly make me nervous?
- AUSA Michael Sima: Objection!
- Judge Roberta Wilkins: Sustained.
- Officer Baldwin: You think this is funny? You're a real smart guy, huh? Well, we'll see how smart you are! There he is. There's the real Officer Baldwin.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: You didn't search me for looking nervous. The truth is I was disrespectful.
- Officer Baldwin: No.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: I was disrespectful, you got angry, and you decided right then and there to show me you were in charge.
- Officer Baldwin: That's not true.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: I was a wise ass. You said as much to your fellow officers at the scene. Tell you what... I'll apologize for my behavior if you apologize for the illegal pat-down that has exposed me to the death penalty. No? Think about it.
- AUSA Michael Sima: Who did he say he was?
- Officer Baldwin: A shower curtain salesman named George Murphy.
- AUSA Michael Sima: How did he seem?
- Officer Baldwin: Nervous. His eyes were darting.I got the feeling that he was possibly being evasive.At one point, he turned and looked towards the tavern,which I interpreted to be a furtive gesture...
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Furtive? Is that what it was?
- Judge Roberta Wilkins: You'll get your turn, Mr. Reddington.
- Officer Baldwin: I asked him to turn around, and he refused... made a joke about it not being his good side. That's when I noticed a bulge in his jacket, at his waistline.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Objection.
- AUSA Michael Sima: - Y-Your Honor.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: No. A bulge at my waistline? I'd prefer that the witness leave my bulges out of this entirely.
- Judge Roberta Wilkins: You'll... Mr. Reddington... That's more than en...
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: I want that struck from the record. It's embarrassing.
- Judge Roberta Wilkins: Sit down, or I will have someone sit you down!
- Judge Roberta Wilkins: Officer, please continue.
- Officer Baldwin: I had the defendant put his hands on the cart, and I conducted a pat-down of his person. That's when I recovered a Browning semi-automatic pistol from a holster in the small of his back.
- AUSA Michael Sima: Your Honor, permission to approach the witness.
- Judge Roberta Wilkins: Granted.
- AUSA Michael Sima: Do you recognize this weapon?
- Officer Baldwin: That's the one I recovered. As you can see, the serial number's been scratched off.
- AUSA Michael Sima: Your Honor, the Government moves to enter Exhibit 1 into evidence. Thank you, Officer. That's all for now. Your witness.
