It sounded like a cannon. 27:57.000 --> 27:59.000 Lit up the garage like a spotlight. 27:59.000 --> 28:01.000 I jumped back when I heard the shots. 28:01.000 --> 28:04.000 Missed me by inches, and when I turned around, the car was racing away. 28:04.000 --> 28:07.000 Can you describe the car? What year? What make? 28:07.000 --> 28:10.000 It was too dark.

That was ten hard years ago. 28:54.000 --> 28:57.000 A lot of booze has gone under the bridge since then. 28:57.000 --> 28:59.000 I'm trying to make this thing work. 28:59.000 --> 29:01.000 Well, you can't. 29:01.000 --> 29:05.000 And if you'd given me the divorce four years ago, it would all be over by now. 29:05.000 --> 29:08.000 Maybe I went about it the wrong way.

A complaint. 44:06.000 --> 44:09.000 There was no charge brought against Captain Finch. 44:09.000 --> 44:13.000 In fact, Mrs. Finch was very upset that a neighbor would even think of such a thing. 44:13.000 --> 44:16.000 Look, Chief, we understand the captain is one of your boys. 44:16.000 --> 44:18.000 You have to live with him. 44:18.000 --> 44:20.000 So it's only natural that... 44:20.000 --> 44:23.000 What about you, Mr. Howard? This is where you live. 44:23.000 --> 44:25.000 In this box. 44:25.000 --> 44:29.000 Like a vampire who comes to life in this electronic coffin 44:29.000 --> 44:33.000 every night when the sun goes down. Every night on prime time. 44:33.000 --> 44:36.000 It's pretty clever material, Chief. You ought to have your own show. 44:38.000 --> 44:41.000 Relax, Captain. Your savior is here. 44:42.000 --> 44:44.000 Have a cookie. 44:44.000 --> 44:46.000 Go on, Captain, have one. It won't kill you. 44:46.000 --> 44:50.000 Not even if they're poisoned, like the other box Mr. Howard received. 44:51.000 --> 44:52.000 What are you getting at, Chief? 44:52.000 --> 44:55.000 The facts. The people want the facts, Mr. Howard. 44:56.000 --> 44:59.000 You see, the man who poisoned that fudge is here tonight in this studio. 44:59.000 --> 45:00.000 Who is he? 45:00.000 --> 45:04.000 The poison was systemic. A kind of arsenic found in rat poison. 45:04.000 --> 45:05.000 What are you saying? 45:05.000 --> 45:08.000 There was just enough in each piece of fudge to cause cramps, not enough to kill anyone. 45:08.000 --> 45:09.000 I don't understand. 45:09.000 --> 45:12.000 And those threatening letters you received. 45:12.000 --> 45:16.000 One of them had traces of dehydroxyaluminum on the gum part of the envelope. 45:16.000 --> 45:18.000 The part most people lick with their tongues. 45:18.000 --> 45:19.000 Dehy-what? 45:19.000 --> 45:25.000 Dehydroxyaluminum. An ingredient used in certain acidity pills like Peptox. 45:27.000 --> 45:28.000 Bernie, Bernie, Mr. Howard. 45:28.000 --> 45:31.000 Hey, wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me that... 45:31.000 --> 45:34.000 Like Captain Finch, all law officers are familiar with the current legislation 45:34.000 --> 45:38.000 and exposing evidence that might prove prejudicial to a defendant's case. 45:38.000 --> 45:39.000 So, if you'll excuse me... 45:39.000 --> 45:44.000 Just hold it there, Chief. You're not going to drop an insinuation like that and take off. 45:44.000 --> 45:48.000 I thought insinuation was part of the ground rules at your ballpark, Mr. Howard. 45:48.000 --> 45:51.000 Okay, I got a nervous stomach and I take pills. 45:51.000 --> 45:54.000 How do you explain that shot someone took at me and the bomb that killed my wife? 45:54.000 --> 45:57.000 The shot was fired from only five feet away, not from the curb. 45:57.000 --> 45:59.000 A diagram of the bullet's trajectory proved that. 45:59.000 --> 46:01.000 A killer wouldn't have missed at such close range. 46:01.000 --> 46:03.000 Who's paying you to do this? 46:03.000 --> 46:06.000 The people, Mr. Howard. They want the facts. 46:06.000 --> 46:08.000 Like this document from Joe Hagel. 46:08.000 --> 46:09.000 He's my chauffeur. 46:09.000 --> 46:11.000 Used to be Corporal Joe Hagel. Isn't that right, Joe? 46:11.000 --> 46:14.000 He's the man who really knocked out that North Korean pillbox. 46:14.000 --> 46:15.000 No. 46:15.000 --> 46:17.000 It was a fight. The threat of a court-martial. 46:17.000 --> 46:21.000 And Hagel's superior officer, a Captain Ross Howard, made a deal. 46:21.000 --> 46:22.000 He's lying. 46:22.000 --> 46:26.000 It was simple. You'd forget the court-martial if Corporal Hagel would forget the glory. 46:26.000 --> 46:28.000 Now, didn't you really buy that silver star, Mr. Howard? 46:28.000 --> 46:30.000 You're crazy. What are you talking about? 46:30.000 --> 46:34.000 Murder, Mr. Howard. Somehow your wife found this deposition by Joe Hagel. 46:34.000 --> 46:37.000 She threatened to expose you with it if you didn't give her a divorce. 46:37.000 --> 46:38.000 No. Norma loved me. 46:38.000 --> 46:41.000 But a divorce would have hurt your image. 46:41.000 --> 46:44.000 And you wanted to go to Washington enough to kill for it. 46:44.000 --> 46:46.000 It's a lie. 46:46.000 --> 46:48.000 It's a lie! 46:48.000 --> 46:50.000 Don't believe a word of it! 46:50.000 --> 46:53.000 Everything he's just said, it's a lie. 46:53.000 --> 46:54.000 It's a lie! 46:54.000 --> 46:57.000 What you needed was an alibi, wasn't it? 46:57.000 --> 47:00.000 It had to look as if that bomb was meant for you. 47:00.000 --> 47:03.000 That's what it's all about, isn't it, Mr. Howard? 47:03.000 --> 47:04.000 Not true. None of it's true. 47:04.000 --> 47:07.000 They won't hear the truth. They're trying to silence me. 47:07.000 --> 47:09.000 That's what they do. They don't want to hear the truth. 47:09.000 --> 47:13.000 Captain Finch, state his civil rights loud and clear and book him for murder. 47:15.000 --> 47:17.000 It's a conspiracy. It's a frame. 47:17.000 --> 47:18.000 It's a frame. 47:18.000 --> 47:20.000 Now, they killed my wife. 47:20.000 --> 47:22.000 You saw that they killed her. 47:22.000 --> 47:24.000 That bomb was meant for me. 47:24.000 --> 47:25.000 They're afraid of me. 47:25.000 --> 47:27.000 They're afraid of the truth. 47:27.000 --> 47:31.000 They know that they can't buy me off, so they're trying to destroy me. 47:31.000 --> 47:33.000 This is your voice up here. 47:33.000 --> 47:35.000 The people! This is our country! 47:35.000 --> 48:03.000 It's yours, it's mine. Let's keep it! 48:05.000 --> 48:10.000 © BF-WATCH TV 2021
