Description
On-screen: Pete talks with Danny
Description: As Pete talks with his injured partner, we hear a dramatic yearning theme from The Informer called "Begging"
Analysis: Descending diminished chords with downbeat suspensions create a pleading, yearning feeling in the first part; ascending diminished seventh chords over a dominant pedal tone in the second part create growing tension
