When Judge Garret finds out his son made a plea bargain with the DA's office, he shouts at him, "You traitor, you Iago! Iago!" He is referring to a character in William Shakespeare's play "Othello", which has several film adaptations the first being Othello (1951). The two main characters in the play are General Othello and Ensign Iago. At first Othello and Iago are friends: they are both soldiers who have fought along side each other for many years. Othello is Iago's commanding officer, and Iago hopes to get a promotion and become Othello's lieutenant and second in command. However, Othello believes Iago's talents would be better served by his remaining a soldier since Iago is a skilled warrior. Iago becomes jealous and resents being passed over for promotion by his friend. He devises a scheme to make Othello believe that Othello's wife is having an affair with the man Othello picked for the promotion Iago wanted. So Iago has allowed jealously to turn him into a liar and a traitor.
