So he used to put a baseball cap Palm 6 Beach Police Department on the dashboard. 7 So when he saw I called the police for my 8 own safety because I was carrying cash, I 9 explained that to him, and he say why you called 10 the police, and I said because I saw a Bunker in 11 the driveway and it's dark. In Palm Beach there 12 is no nights. So I called for my own safety. I 13 was coming from Publix buying my groceries and I 14 had cash in my pocket. And I said I called the 15 police because I was concerned about my own 16 safety. 17 And I recognized the girl and I figured 18 because I remember told me earlier that day 19 -- it was a hectic day, e just left Palm Beach 20 and I was catching up with my breath, you know, I 21 went to buy my groceries, and I explained that. 22 So he was upset that this will spill, you know, to 23 the public or the street. But I didn't realize 24 this was written or something, you know. 25 Q. You were not fired though until sometime Page 448 1 form.

Okay, I'll 7 give you one more chance. And I said what's going 8 on. But, you know, it meant a few words, I 9 couldn't talk to him too much, but this was it. 10 Because, you know, I have to say this for 11 myself, you know, I never did something illegal, I 12 was working hard to please him and sometimes more 13 than I was supposed to, many hours beyond my 14 duties, and so -- but he was concerned about this. 15 And I say, Mr. Epstein, you told me 16 safety is the paramount of this house, in this 17 case it was me, but obviously he didn't care about 18 me, it was his safety. 19 MR. CRITTON: Form. Move to strike. 20 BY MS. EZELL: 21 Q. Can you translate for me what you said a 22 moment ago in -- I don't know -- 23 A.

You're always in the run, you have to be on 4 your toes, and the next thing he said I took the 5 wrong Suburban and they let me go. 6 But I never find out what happened 7 because I have to say this. Being so many people 8 in the house I didn't know if I displease one of 9 the girls, or something I said or I did, I don't 10 think so. So they let me go very mysteriously. 11 But this is it. 12 Q.
