There is a part of Ghost in The Wires that is pretty close to that:

Ring me up, Mate.

Neill.

That made me smile. But what the hell? I figured: he already knew he had been hustled, so I had nothing to lose.

I called.

“Hey, Neill, what’s up?”

“Hey, mate.” No anger, no threats, no hostility. We were like two old friends.

We spent hours talking, and I shared all the intricate details of how I’d hacked him over the years. I decided I might as well tell him, since it wasn’t likely to work on him again.

We became telephone buddies, sometimes spending hours on the phone together over several days.
