1
00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:13,510
Thank you.

2
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,080
That is the state's case.

3
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,620
Therefore, Your Honors, I urge the court
to deny this appeal.

4
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:12,440
Mr. Egan, isn't there anything you wish
to add?

5
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,280
No, Your Honor.

6
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:24,260
take this under advisement.

7
00:02:48,650 --> 00:02:52,890
Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Parks graduated
number one in his class from the Air

8
00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:53,890
Force Academy.

9
00:02:54,310 --> 00:02:59,330
The youngest officer ever to assume
command of a fighter squad. Imagine, if

10
00:02:59,330 --> 00:03:02,190
will, that cold night last February.

11
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:10,330
Home for the evening after a long day at
work, Amy Beth Sawyer, young, bright,

12
00:03:10,510 --> 00:03:15,650
pretty, had just finished taking a
shower.

13
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,540
Before getting ready for bed, she fixed
herself a cup of coffee.

14
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,100
Suddenly, she thinks she hears someone
at the door.

15
00:03:31,260 --> 00:03:33,500
Who is it, she may have asked.

16
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:41,480
She moves toward the door and stops,
alert, listening.

17
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:44,060
Who's there?

18
00:03:49,550 --> 00:03:53,110
She steps cautiously toward the
entryway.

19
00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:59,830
Suddenly, the door opens. Before she can
step back, before she can defend

20
00:03:59,830 --> 00:04:01,710
herself, she is stabbed.

21
00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:05,150
Brutal. Again and again.

22
00:04:05,530 --> 00:04:11,650
Until, finally, Amy Beth Sawyer slumps
to the floor.

23
00:04:22,089 --> 00:04:28,890
Only a cruel, heartless person could
take the life of a beautiful young

24
00:04:28,890 --> 00:04:35,670
girl. Members of the jury, the evidence
clearly shows that person to be

25
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:40,810
the defendant, Lieutenant Colonel Kevin
Parks.

26
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:49,890
You have heard how sheriff's deputies
apprehended Lieutenant Colonel Parks.

27
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,800
still at the scene, and how the
fingerprints on the murder weapon were

28
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,840
identified as those of Lieutenant
Colonel Kevin Parks.

29
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:05,880
You have heard the testimony of Amy
Beth's employer, Jason Sloan, who was a

30
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880
witness to their clandestine
relationship.

31
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,320
You have heard the testimony of Mr.
Sloan's wife, Althea Sloan, who told us

32
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Parks... repeated calls to Amy Beth at
her office.

33
00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:27,280
You have heard the testimony of Amy
Beth's former boyfriend, Daryl Hurley,

34
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,660
went to Amy Beth's one night and
discovered Lieutenant Colonel Parks

35
00:05:31,580 --> 00:05:37,780
You have even heard the testimony of one
of Lieutenant Colonel Parks' squadron

36
00:05:37,780 --> 00:05:43,040
pilots, young Lieutenant Wilkins, who
introduced Parks to Amy Beth.

37
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,260
These facts lead us to one inescapable
conclusion.

38
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:59,040
Because Amy Beth Sawyer wanted to break
off their illicit affair,

39
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,140
because Amy Beth Sawyer threatened to
reveal that affair to

40
00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:07,140
Park's wife,

41
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:14,540
Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Parks did
cruelly and viciously

42
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:19,470
stab... Amy Beth Sawyer to death.

43
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:43,150
We find the defendant, Lieutenant
Colonel Kevin Parks, guilty.

44
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,360
A first -degree murder for the killing
of Amy Beth Sawyer.

45
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,860
Appeal denied.

46
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:10,420
Hey, Parks.

47
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,440
Here's what your wife sent for you to
wear to the hearing tomorrow.

48
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,220
The van leaves at six sharp.

49
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Thanks, Billy Ray.

50
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,420
Good luck, Colonel. I hope finding that
new witness gets you a retrial.

51
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:47,040
Mason, what brings you two here?

52
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,600
As I recall, when you sat on the
appellate bench, you upheld my

53
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,600
denied Park's appeal.

54
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:56,880
You should also recall that I reserved
comment on the merits of your case.

55
00:07:57,260 --> 00:07:58,260
I still do.

56
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Well, I hope you haven't come all this
way to help a desperate attorney. This

57
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,320
case is going down for a third and final
time.

58
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,060
With this new witness, Mr. Egan might
prevail.

59
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,480
I wouldn't be too positive, Mr. Mason,
with or without a new witness.

60
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,400
I am never too positive, Mr. Preston.

61
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Here's the man of the hour now.

62
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,800
Lester McCarron.

63
00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:29,740
This is Perry Mason.

64
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:35,419
Perry. Dallas Street. And this is the
colonel's wife, Shannon Parks.

65
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:37,440
Glad to meet you, Ms. Parks.

66
00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:38,980
Thank you.

67
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:43,700
I don't understand, Mr. Mason. You were
one of the judges that turned down my

68
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:44,700
husband's appeal.

69
00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:48,280
The court ruled that the trial was fair,
nothing more.

70
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,980
I voted with the court.

71
00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:54,480
But I never said I concurred with the
verdict of the jury.

72
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,700
Mr. Mason has been kind enough to come
here and counsel us on the best way to

73
00:08:58,700 --> 00:08:59,700
handle the retrial.

74
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:03,320
That is, once Mr. McCarron has given his
testimony.

75
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,540
Well, I think we ought to be getting in
now.

76
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,060
Mr. Mason, can I talk to you for a
minute?

77
00:09:12,540 --> 00:09:13,540
Yes.

78
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,120
Mr. Mason, I could use some advice about
my testimony.

79
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:24,000
My best advice is to tell the truth as
you know it.

80
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,400
I wish it were that simple.

81
00:09:26,660 --> 00:09:27,660
It is.

82
00:09:28,340 --> 00:09:29,340
It is.

83
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Mr. McCarran?

84
00:09:34,060 --> 00:09:35,920
Yes, Mr. McCarran? This was meant for
you.

85
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,180
Mr. McCarron, is there a problem?

86
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:02,620
Oh, no.

87
00:10:06,980 --> 00:10:11,980
At the trial, the coroner testified that
Miss Sawyer died between 7 and 10 p .m.

88
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,700
And later it was established that the
defendant left his office just after 8 p

89
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:22,120
.m. and was seen driving down the Old
Woods Road on his way to the Sawyer

90
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,120
condominium.

91
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:29,390
Now, about a mile out of town, he
stopped to help a stranded motorist with

92
00:10:29,390 --> 00:10:30,390
engine problems.

93
00:10:31,390 --> 00:10:34,870
That motorist was Lester McCarron.

94
00:10:35,930 --> 00:10:41,730
And Mr. McCarron will establish that the
defendant was with him making repairs

95
00:10:41,730 --> 00:10:45,810
until well after 10 p .m.

96
00:10:46,170 --> 00:10:50,150
If that is his testimony, it would
appear to be highly exculpatory. Let's

97
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:51,150
him on the stand, Mr. Egan.

98
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:55,610
Mr. McCarron?

99
00:11:06,530 --> 00:11:07,530
Raise your right hand.

100
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:11,730
Do you swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

101
00:11:11,730 --> 00:11:12,730
help you God?

102
00:11:13,730 --> 00:11:15,050
Sure. I mean, I do.

103
00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:24,990
Mr.

104
00:11:26,690 --> 00:11:31,170
McCarran, would you please tell the
court where you were the night Amy Beth

105
00:11:31,170 --> 00:11:32,170
Sawyer was murdered?

106
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:36,740
Well, uh... That's hard to say exactly.

107
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,720
Hard to say?

108
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:46,860
Were you or were you not stranded on the
old woods road on the evening of this

109
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:47,860
murder?

110
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,480
I might have been, but I'm not sure now.
Not sure?

111
00:11:51,780 --> 00:11:55,300
It was over two years ago. How can I be
sure it was the same night? I didn't

112
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:56,300
even know she'd been killed.

113
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,200
Mark, I mean, I thought we had a
conversation on this. Mr. Parks, you're

114
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,200
order.

115
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Mr. McCarran.

116
00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:07,800
May I remind you that you are under
oath?

117
00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:10,700
Now, I ask you again.

118
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,860
Were you not with Colonel Parks on the
Old Woods Road until after 10 p .m. on

119
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:19,520
the night of February 17th? I told you,
I don't remember.

120
00:12:19,860 --> 00:12:21,840
I'm sorry, but I just don't remember.

121
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:23,820
For God's sakes.

122
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,280
Mr. Parks, sit down.

123
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,920
You know we were together.

124
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:31,160
Now, come on, you know I was there. Mr.
Parks, you will be seated now.

125
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,440
Kevin,

126
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:35,960
please. Don't you want to tell him I
didn't kill the lady? I didn't kill her.

127
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,080
That's it.

128
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,600
Bailiff, please remove the defendant.

129
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,240
Mr. McCarran, you can step down.

130
00:12:40,580 --> 00:12:43,800
Court is in recess for one hour, and I
will seek counsel in my chambers.

131
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,260
Mr. McCarran, wait. Look, I'm sorry.

132
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,880
I've got to get to a phone.

133
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,820
I don't understand.

134
00:12:57,580 --> 00:12:59,660
He was ready. He was eager to testify.

135
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,880
He looked absolutely frightened.
Something must have changed his mind.

136
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,180
More likely someone.

137
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:11,160
Before he came in, he got a note in what
appeared to be a gold locket. Mark, we

138
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,960
can't just let him run out like this.
He's Kevin's only hope.

139
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:15,560
She's right.

140
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,100
He is Kevin's only hope.

141
00:14:18,350 --> 00:14:19,350
He's escaped.

142
00:14:19,370 --> 00:14:20,890
He's on the stairwell.

143
00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:22,650
Check the back entrance.

144
00:14:24,050 --> 00:14:25,050
Oh,

145
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:38,810
hi, Mark.

146
00:14:39,010 --> 00:14:40,130
Hi. Any luck?

147
00:14:40,430 --> 00:14:43,430
Well, McCarron's agreed to have dinner
tonight, but he's leaving first thing in

148
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:44,289
the morning.

149
00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:45,470
Why do you want to talk to him?

150
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:50,590
I suspect the locket and the note he
received on his way into the hearing had

151
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:52,750
something to do with his sudden change
of mind.

152
00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:54,870
I want to talk to him about that.

153
00:14:55,210 --> 00:14:59,170
Yeah. Now the sheriff's suggesting
McCarron and the hearing were just a

154
00:14:59,170 --> 00:15:00,850
Kevin could try and make a break.

155
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Mr. McCarran, please.

156
00:15:26,220 --> 00:15:29,680
You came all this way just to testify.
Look, I told you before.

157
00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:33,100
There were some threatening phone calls
after I decided to come back and

158
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:34,100
testify.

159
00:15:34,820 --> 00:15:36,380
Why wasn't I told about this?

160
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,280
You figured they were just crank calls.
Well, maybe they weren't.

161
00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:45,740
And I have nothing against helping
Colonel Parks, but I'm not going to put

162
00:15:45,740 --> 00:15:47,360
wife's safety on the line to do it.

163
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,480
What makes you think she's in danger?

164
00:15:52,060 --> 00:15:56,200
Does that note and locket you received
have something to do with it? Who told

165
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,200
you about that?

166
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,760
I never said anything about that.

167
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,420
It was your wife's locket, wasn't it?

168
00:16:07,940 --> 00:16:08,940
All right.

169
00:16:09,220 --> 00:16:10,960
What did the note say, Mr. McCann?

170
00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:16,820
It said enough for me to know to keep my
mouth shut and stay out of this.

171
00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:22,580
Besides... Park's escaped, right? That
proves he's guilty, doesn't it? Have you

172
00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:23,920
been able to reach your wife?

173
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:27,600
No, she hasn't been home.

174
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,780
arranged to protect you and your wife. I
don't want your help.

175
00:17:07,339 --> 00:17:11,099
Excuse me, Mr. McCarron. Yes? The hotel
desk just called with a message for you

176
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:12,019
to call your wife.

177
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:14,920
They do? Thank God. Is there a phone
here I can use? To the back.

178
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:23,300
Mr. McCarron?

179
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,640
What?

180
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:29,180
Came from the back.

181
00:19:23,950 --> 00:19:27,330
Yeah, operator, connect me to the
sheriff's department, please, and hurry.

182
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:34,070
Yeah, you know that fellow that escaped
from the courthouse yesterday, the one

183
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:39,010
who was all over the TV last night? I
believe I just passed him about 10 miles

184
00:19:39,010 --> 00:19:40,950
outside of town on old Route 99.

185
00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:43,890
Yes, sir.

186
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,740
What happened? What happened?

187
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,040
You broke jail and killed that witness.
That's what happened.

188
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,540
I know how it must look to you.

189
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,440
Kevin is innocent.

190
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,180
It hasn't been easy to believe in him,
yet I do.

191
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,580
I wish you would, too.

192
00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:18,220
Look, Mr.

193
00:21:18,460 --> 00:21:22,000
Mason, representing Colonel...

194
00:21:22,220 --> 00:21:23,360
through this whole thing.

195
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:28,180
It's had a very disturbing impact on my
life.

196
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:36,280
In fact, it's even made me question if I
still want to continue working as an

197
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,280
attorney.

198
00:21:38,180 --> 00:21:41,940
I must say, I'm not sure at this point
that I'm qualified to handle this case

199
00:21:41,940 --> 00:21:42,940
anymore.

200
00:21:50,420 --> 00:21:52,100
I guess what I'm saying...

201
00:21:57,870 --> 00:22:00,070
I'm profoundly grateful if you would
take it over for me.

202
00:22:02,890 --> 00:22:04,710
Will you consider it Mr. Manson?

203
00:22:17,170 --> 00:22:23,090
So, I think whoever murdered Amy Beth
Sawyer had to stop McCarran from

204
00:22:23,090 --> 00:22:24,090
testifying.

205
00:22:24,530 --> 00:22:25,950
Any promising suspects?

206
00:22:27,340 --> 00:22:31,240
Well, we should concentrate on the
original witnesses against Parks.

207
00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:35,920
We need to find out more about Miss
Sawyer's boyfriend, Daryl Hurley, and

208
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,400
employer, Jason Sloan, and his wife,
Althea.

209
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,140
Add to that list Lieutenant Wilkins. He
was one of Parks' squadron pilots.

210
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,060
I'll get on it right away.

211
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:51,840
Since all the possible suspects were at
the hearing yesterday, it means there's

212
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,640
also an accomplice to contend with.

213
00:22:54,410 --> 00:22:56,790
The man who helped Colonel Parks escape?

214
00:22:57,230 --> 00:22:59,590
I think abducted would be more accurate.

215
00:23:00,770 --> 00:23:04,530
Paul, you need to find that man.

216
00:23:17,010 --> 00:23:22,430
Sergeant, this is a restricted crime
scene, Mr. Maitland. I represent Colonel

217
00:23:22,430 --> 00:23:24,580
Parks. In that case, Montreux Lutheran.

218
00:23:25,340 --> 00:23:26,720
You remember Mr. Drake.

219
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,760
Mr. Drake, good to see you again.

220
00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:32,240
Body was right around in there.

221
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:35,940
And then McCarran turned over.

222
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,440
All right, Sergeant.

223
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,280
What we have here, Mr. Mason, is Colonel
Park's fingerprints were all over the

224
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,700
gun used to kill McCarran.

225
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:52,480
We found threads on a nail that match up
with the tear in the coat.

226
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,540
Colonel Parks is wary.

227
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:59,040
You will, of course, be sent a copy of
my report, but in the meantime, sir, is

228
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,040
that tight enough for you?

229
00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:03,920
Evidence almost as damning as the Amy
Beth Sawyer case.

230
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,240
You handled that investigation also,
didn't you?

231
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:09,340
Yes, I did, Mr. Mason.

232
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:16,380
Now, did you find anything unusual on
Mr. McCarran, such as a note?

233
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,240
We didn't find a note. We found just a
usual end.

234
00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:22,200
This? Eric, let me have that, please,
sir.

235
00:24:24,300 --> 00:24:25,300
Thank you, Eric.

236
00:24:30,380 --> 00:24:33,560
My beautiful bride, Denise.

237
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:36,520
Someone sent this to him along with the
note.

238
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,360
Mark Egan saw him receive both just
before he entered the courtroom.

239
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,660
Again, Mr. Mason, we didn't find a note.

240
00:24:44,060 --> 00:24:45,260
Now, I'll tell you what I think, sir.

241
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,680
I think Colonel Parks followed him here,
and I think Colonel Parks killed him.

242
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:52,480
The reason why he killed him, McCarran
refused to testify.

243
00:24:53,180 --> 00:24:55,480
What about the threat against Mr.
McCarran's wife?

244
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,860
We know about that, sir.

245
00:24:57,060 --> 00:25:01,220
You checked with the desk to make sure,
in fact, a message was sent by his wife?

246
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,920
Which would not change the basic fact
that the preponderance of evidence

247
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,240
indicate Colonel Parks killed McCarran.

248
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,380
We will, of course, check on everything
connected to this case to include the

249
00:25:12,380 --> 00:25:15,200
accomplice who broke Colonel Parks out
of our courthouse.

250
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,540
We believe Colonel Parks was kidnapped
from your courthouse.

251
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,480
Mr. Mason, Mr. Mason. Mr. Mason, I'm
inclined to think that you gentlemen

252
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,480
believe almost anything.

253
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,880
We do believe that Colonel Parks has
been elaborately framed.

254
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:36,020
Now, as soon as the kidnapper is in
custody, I have a few questions for him.

255
00:25:36,220 --> 00:25:38,140
We must find him first, Mr. Mason.

256
00:25:39,140 --> 00:25:40,620
And we will keep on trying.

257
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,380
You don't mind if I try, too?

258
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,760
Good day, Sergeant.

259
00:25:50,540 --> 00:25:53,120
What else can you tell us about the man
in the elevator?

260
00:25:54,060 --> 00:25:55,060
Nothing.

261
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,820
I tried to get a look at him, but I
passed out before I got a chance.

262
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:01,800
Doesn't give me much to go on.

263
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,900
What about when you woke up?

264
00:26:05,140 --> 00:26:06,960
Maybe someone driving by?

265
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:08,400
I didn't see anyone.

266
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,680
You were out for a couple of minutes
before you realized where you were. Did

267
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,020
hear something?

268
00:26:15,420 --> 00:26:16,880
Maybe the sound of a truck?

269
00:26:18,460 --> 00:26:25,000
I... Heard a car leaving, but it...
Something wrong?

270
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,960
That's probably just another nightmare.

271
00:26:29,060 --> 00:26:30,060
Nightmare?

272
00:26:31,340 --> 00:26:37,540
Yeah, I, uh... I keep having this dream
about a mig on my tail.

273
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,760
It's gonna be locked on, and I know he's
gonna fire the missile. I can't do

274
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,760
anything about it.

275
00:26:45,700 --> 00:26:47,240
It's probably nothing, but...

276
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:56,140
Every time I have the dream, it's in F
-4s, and this time it sounded like A

277
00:26:56,140 --> 00:26:57,140
-7s.

278
00:26:58,500 --> 00:26:59,500
A -7s?

279
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:03,300
Oh, I'm sorry. A -7's a plane we use for
fighter training.

280
00:27:05,260 --> 00:27:08,900
Tell me something, Colonel. Do these
training flights ever pass over the area

281
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:10,000
where you were found?

282
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,440
Oh, yes, sir. We use that grid area
quite often for low -level runs.

283
00:27:14,860 --> 00:27:18,620
Paul, find out if there are any planes
in that area.

284
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,680
One of the pilots might have seen
something.

285
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:22,620
You might check with Base Ops.

286
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,360
Captain O'Malley's still there. That's
the best place to start.

287
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,280
First thing in the morning.

288
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:35,860
In your trial, Colonel,

289
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:42,160
the prosecution claimed you were having
an affair with Ms. Sawyer.

290
00:27:45,620 --> 00:27:47,740
You want me to tell you the whole
thing's untrue?

291
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:51,920
Hmm? Well, it is. Believe me.

292
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,580
I didn't even meet Amy Beth until
Lieutenant Wilkins introduced me to her

293
00:27:56,580 --> 00:27:58,840
party. And I only saw her two times
after that.

294
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:03,120
You testified she called you about a
problem she couldn't discuss over the

295
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:04,360
phone. Yes, sir, she did.

296
00:28:04,860 --> 00:28:06,120
She was very upset.

297
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:13,820
I told her that I would talk to her
after I got off work, but... She never

298
00:28:13,820 --> 00:28:14,820
me about the problem.

299
00:28:15,690 --> 00:28:18,990
I got the feeling that she was feeling
me out, you know, to see if I was an

300
00:28:18,990 --> 00:28:20,070
individual she could trust.

301
00:28:21,090 --> 00:28:22,530
And she called you again?

302
00:28:24,010 --> 00:28:25,010
Yes, sir.

303
00:28:25,770 --> 00:28:29,970
That's when we met at her condo, and
then her boyfriend showed up banging on

304
00:28:29,970 --> 00:28:31,470
door, Darryl Hurley.

305
00:28:32,290 --> 00:28:35,990
Of course, when he saw me there, he got
pretty steamed, and I thought it was in

306
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:37,870
everybody's best interest that I get out
of there.

307
00:28:39,970 --> 00:28:42,390
Why did you agree to meet with Amy Beth?

308
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,500
She had something of a reputation,
didn't she?

309
00:28:49,980 --> 00:28:53,520
Come on, Mr. Mason. Because everybody in
town thought she was a tramp?

310
00:28:54,180 --> 00:28:56,820
Well, that appears to be the general
perception.

311
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:04,800
Listen, I don't know what you've heard,
but Amy Beth was a person of integrity.

312
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:09,360
Had she and Lieutenant Wilkins been
seeing a lot of each other?

313
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,940
I didn't pay attention to Lieutenant
Wilkins' private life. It was none of my

314
00:29:12,940 --> 00:29:13,940
business.

315
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,960
And you never found out what it was she
wanted to talk about?

316
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,440
No, sir.

317
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,520
I did get the feeling that it was
connected with something or someone on

318
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,640
base, but like I said before, she was
always very cautious about the whole

319
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,640
thing.

320
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,820
Well, we'll have to find out how
cautious, won't we?

321
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:06,900
Morning, Lieutenant.

322
00:30:07,140 --> 00:30:10,720
Morning. We're trying to find out if
Captain O'Malley is on duty today.

323
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,820
He's been reassigned. Try flight pep and
debris from Hangar 33.

324
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:17,860
Hangar 33 is down at the end of the
field. I'll try to meet up with you

325
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,520
ladies. All right. I'm going to speak to
the lieutenant, if that's all right.

326
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Sure. That's fine. Thank you. You're
welcome.

327
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:23,699
Paul Drake.

328
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,800
Lieutenant Peter Graham. Nice to meet
you, sir. Nice to meet you, too.

329
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,320
Back from the training mission?

330
00:30:27,580 --> 00:30:29,040
Yeah. No getting around that, is there?

331
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:30,640
If you find a way, you let me know.

332
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,220
Well, that kind of comes with the
territory, though, doesn't it? Yes, sir.

333
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,680
Let me ask a question.

334
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,580
Is it possible you were flying at this
time yesterday morning?

335
00:30:37,860 --> 00:30:39,400
As a matter of fact, it was. Why?

336
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:47,000
Well, is it likely that you would have
seen anything on a highway north of town

337
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
that runs up into the mountains?

338
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:51,300
Sir, we crossed that highway doing
better than 325 miles.

339
00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:53,780
Now, of course, a camera can pick
something up.

340
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,340
A camera? What, you take pictures?

341
00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:59,580
Well, they don't let us shoot any live
animals. It sort of makes the name

342
00:30:59,780 --> 00:31:00,780
if you know what I mean.

343
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,140
So we shoot video instead.

344
00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:05,840
Any chance I could see the tape from
yesterday morning?

345
00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:09,540
I don't know about that. You'd have to
talk to Captain O'Malley. Hangar 33.

346
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,660
All right. Well, thank you very much,
Lieutenant.

347
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:12,960
Yes, sir. Appreciate it.

348
00:31:14,260 --> 00:31:18,000
So, anyway, when I found out that there
might be a tape, I thought I'd like to

349
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,000
see it. Well,

350
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:20,760
we can run the tapes in a few minutes.

351
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,500
I'm having them queued up now.

352
00:31:22,780 --> 00:31:25,880
I still have to check with the legal
office to get you cleared for a look

353
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,000
All right. Well, I appreciate it,
Captain.

354
00:31:29,740 --> 00:31:32,060
Colonel Park was more than an officer
and a gentleman.

355
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,920
My friend, earning respect as a woman in
the Air Force isn't always in the

356
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,960
court, Mr. Drayton.

357
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,860
Colonel Parks helped me over some of the
rough times.

358
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,620
And you don't think he's guilty either?

359
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:46,760
Judging by the man, no.

360
00:31:47,620 --> 00:31:51,100
Illicit affairs, murder, not Colonel
Parks.

361
00:31:51,420 --> 00:31:53,540
I mean, it just doesn't, it just doesn't
apply.

362
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,680
Well, one thing for sure.

363
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,280
What's that?

364
00:31:58,660 --> 00:32:00,700
He knew a good officer when he saw one.

365
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,620
Here's your roster schedule, ma 'am.

366
00:32:03,940 --> 00:32:05,040
Thank you, Lieutenant Wilkins.

367
00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:09,880
Lieutenant Wilkins, didn't he testify at
Colonel Parks' trial?

368
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:11,560
That's right.

369
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,760
I'll be right back.

370
00:32:15,220 --> 00:32:16,220
Lieutenant Wilkins!

371
00:32:16,980 --> 00:32:18,700
Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?

372
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,360
Who are you?

373
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:23,400
Paul Drake. I work for Colonel Parks'
defense attorney.

374
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:28,680
Well, I've got nothing against Colonel
Parks, but I've said all I have to say.

375
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,960
Is that why we're walking so fast? I'm
out of breath here.

376
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,500
I've got an appointment in town.

377
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,900
Say, listen, you know, I heard your
testimony at the first trial. I've got

378
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:38,900
nothing to add.

379
00:32:38,980 --> 00:32:39,939
Tell me something.

380
00:32:39,940 --> 00:32:43,680
Did you and Amy Beth Sawyer go out a
lot, or did you just get lucky that

381
00:32:45,940 --> 00:32:47,660
Sir, I'm not going to honor that with a
response.

382
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,400
You did get lucky.

383
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,380
I have a doctor's appointment.

384
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,900
See you again, okay?

385
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,360
Morning. Can I help you, gents?

386
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,860
Yes, I have an appointment with Mr.
Sloan. My name's Mason.

387
00:33:24,260 --> 00:33:28,000
Sure thing, Mr. Mason. I'm Ellis
Milbourne, his brother -in -law. Mason,

388
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,400
Park's new lawyer, aren't you?

389
00:33:29,710 --> 00:33:30,710
That's right.

390
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:34,690
You should be finished with this
presentation. I'll send him right over.

391
00:33:35,210 --> 00:33:36,210
It may take a minute.

392
00:33:39,270 --> 00:33:44,430
We're planning not only the shopping
mall, but also housing, restaurant, and

393
00:33:44,430 --> 00:33:45,430
entertainment facilities.

394
00:33:45,630 --> 00:33:49,730
It's going to be the largest
multipurpose development in the history

395
00:33:49,730 --> 00:33:50,730
city.

396
00:33:51,490 --> 00:33:55,730
Mason's over there. Okay, now, Ellis
Milbourne here has a schedule of terms

397
00:33:55,730 --> 00:33:59,010
proposals. If any of you folks are
interested in any more information about

398
00:33:59,010 --> 00:34:01,510
Milbourne Center, he'll be happy to work
with you. Thanks very much.

399
00:34:01,730 --> 00:34:02,730
Morning, morning, morning.

400
00:34:04,050 --> 00:34:07,310
That's his information right here. Spec
sheets, floor plans.

401
00:34:08,050 --> 00:34:11,050
This is some of the big chains that are
interested. This appears to be a very

402
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:12,889
ambitious project, Mr. Sloan.

403
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:14,489
Oh, it's prime, really prime.

404
00:34:14,850 --> 00:34:16,050
How can I help you, Mr. Mason?

405
00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:21,429
I understand Amy Beth Sawyer was working
as your... Executive assistant.

406
00:34:22,210 --> 00:34:23,969
Yeah, she was a crackerjack in the
office.

407
00:34:24,290 --> 00:34:25,310
I really miss her.

408
00:34:25,889 --> 00:34:30,850
Is that why you provided her with the
condominium she was living in when she

409
00:34:30,850 --> 00:34:31,850
murdered?

410
00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:37,030
Well, now, it's not exactly the way you
make it sound. See, her rent was being

411
00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:41,150
raised where she was, so I helped her
out. We kept that condo for out -of

412
00:34:41,150 --> 00:34:43,350
investors. This was just a temporary
arrangement.

413
00:34:44,110 --> 00:34:45,590
I take it Mrs.

414
00:34:45,889 --> 00:34:46,889
Sloan approved?

415
00:34:47,330 --> 00:34:48,330
It was her idea.

416
00:34:48,909 --> 00:34:50,389
How long did Miss Sawyer live there?

417
00:34:51,310 --> 00:34:52,370
Five, maybe six months.

418
00:34:53,350 --> 00:34:55,510
Once she was in there, I couldn't just
kick her out.

419
00:34:56,830 --> 00:35:00,170
Besides, her old boyfriend, Daryl
Hurley, kept begging her to come back

420
00:35:00,170 --> 00:35:02,690
him. I made all kinds of trouble trying
to get her back.

421
00:35:03,010 --> 00:35:07,690
You obviously took a personal interest
in Miss Sawyer's well -being.

422
00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:11,070
Anything wrong with that, Mr. Mason?

423
00:35:11,930 --> 00:35:15,830
Of course you had a key to the condo. Of
course I had a key to the condo. I

424
00:35:15,830 --> 00:35:16,830
owned it. Why do you ask?

425
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,400
There were no signs of forced entry.

426
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:25,240
Whoever murdered Miss Sawyer either was
let in or had a key.

427
00:35:26,380 --> 00:35:30,320
Miss Sawyer was murdered and Parks was
convicted. Now, what are you doing,

428
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,680
Mason? Trying to set the record
straight.

429
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,960
Where were you the night she was killed,
Mr. Sloan?

430
00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:40,340
Right.

431
00:35:40,620 --> 00:35:43,100
I was going over some accounts at my
office.

432
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:45,360
Alone? Yes, alone.

433
00:35:46,569 --> 00:35:49,650
But that big war hero killed her, and
everyone in town knows it.

434
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:51,630
Everyone but me.

435
00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:54,690
Good day, Mr. Mason.

436
00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:07,430
These are the ones that would have the
highway in them, Mr. Drake.

437
00:36:08,010 --> 00:36:09,010
Call me Paul.

438
00:36:09,850 --> 00:36:11,170
Well, then maybe you should call me
Terry.

439
00:36:20,529 --> 00:36:22,610
Right there You

440
00:36:22,610 --> 00:36:39,470
need

441
00:36:39,470 --> 00:36:44,390
to find this car Well, it would sure put
me closer to the guy driving it.

442
00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:48,370
I Have a couple of days leave saved up.
I'd like to help you

443
00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:53,850
I appreciate that, but without the plate
numbers, the legwork alone might take

444
00:36:53,850 --> 00:36:56,770
days. Well, why don't we go after the
same way you got the picture?

445
00:36:58,590 --> 00:36:59,590
What do you mean?

446
00:37:00,110 --> 00:37:01,310
Go up in an A7?

447
00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:03,970
No, of course not.

448
00:37:29,250 --> 00:37:30,250
Oh, great.

449
00:37:30,690 --> 00:37:34,270
I got about, let's see, 15 minutes.

450
00:38:00,270 --> 00:38:01,270
What was that? Did you see it?

451
00:38:01,690 --> 00:38:02,690
No. What was it?

452
00:38:03,210 --> 00:38:04,330
Something through the trees.

453
00:38:06,010 --> 00:38:07,070
Can we make another pass?

454
00:38:07,330 --> 00:38:08,330
You got it.

455
00:38:16,810 --> 00:38:17,830
Where was it exactly?

456
00:38:18,150 --> 00:38:24,270
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Right
there. See it?

457
00:38:26,290 --> 00:38:27,850
Nice going, Paul. That's it.

458
00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:29,960
I'll put it down right at that clearing.

459
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:32,160
Nice and easy.

460
00:39:13,580 --> 00:39:15,020
Well, it certainly would have hurt us
coming in.

461
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,520
It's locked.

462
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,220
I'd be tempted to break in, but it might
float as evidence.

463
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,240
What are you supposed to be doing here
all by itself?

464
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,680
Got me.

465
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,320
Stashed, I guess.

466
00:39:32,540 --> 00:39:33,540
Didn't leave on foot.

467
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:37,340
Look, a second set of tire tracks.

468
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,860
You do do this for a living.

469
00:39:41,420 --> 00:39:42,920
Well, we can't all be pilots.

470
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:58,560
Camping equipment.

471
00:39:59,340 --> 00:40:00,560
Varex Motel.

472
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,200
The cardboard box in the front seat.

473
00:40:15,299 --> 00:40:16,580
You make out the name on it?

474
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,320
Daryl Hurley.

475
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:21,240
Daryl Hurley.

476
00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:23,060
Who's he?

477
00:40:24,180 --> 00:40:25,400
It's a man we need to see.

478
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,240
Come on, I want to get back to Perry.

479
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,120
Perry, yeah, we're fine. They just want
to do a couple routine checks back at

480
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:32,999
the hospital.

481
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,120
You must be Perry Mason.

482
00:42:34,580 --> 00:42:35,580
I'm Terry O'Malley.

483
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,920
Hello, Captain.

484
00:42:37,060 --> 00:42:38,700
Looks like you saved his life.

485
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,860
Well, I'm afraid it was the other way
around, Mr. Mason.

486
00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:43,360
Perry, we found the car.

487
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,160
I also got a fairly good look at the guy
who was shooting at us.

488
00:42:47,580 --> 00:42:49,500
Had a full beard, plaid shirt.

489
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,560
Kind of a hunter -looking guy.

490
00:42:53,340 --> 00:42:57,880
Drake, we just got a report on that
license plate number you gave us.

491
00:42:58,380 --> 00:42:59,380
It was stolen.

492
00:43:00,540 --> 00:43:01,540
Figures.

493
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,000
We still have that videotape of the car.

494
00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:09,620
What videotape? There was video taken
from a fighter plane showing a second

495
00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:11,980
in the area where they found Colonel
Parks.

496
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:16,700
Captain, this is a criminal
investigation. I expect to have that

497
00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:17,800
this afternoon.

498
00:43:18,380 --> 00:43:19,380
Yes, Sergeant.

499
00:43:20,020 --> 00:43:21,860
What else can you tell me about that
car, Drake?

500
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:27,600
There was a cardboard box in the front
seat with the name of Daryl Hurley.

501
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Daryl Hurley.

502
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,840
Any objections to my being there when
you question him, Sergeant?

503
00:43:35,300 --> 00:43:36,920
You are, of course, going to do that.

504
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,900
And perhaps you would like for me to
provide you with a car, too, Mr. Mason?

505
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,400
Oh, thank you.

506
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,000
But that won't be necessary.

507
00:43:48,620 --> 00:43:51,520
No, I don't own a green Ram Charger.

508
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,640
And I don't know anybody who does.
What's this all about, anyway?

509
00:43:54,980 --> 00:43:59,210
It's about the man who abducted Colonel
Parks from the... the courthouse and who

510
00:43:59,210 --> 00:44:01,110
tried to kill my associate, Paul Drake.

511
00:44:01,790 --> 00:44:05,470
Now, Daryl, this is Perry Mason. Mr.
Mason is handling Colonel Parks'

512
00:44:06,430 --> 00:44:09,510
Well, I was sitting in the courtroom
when Parks broke loose.

513
00:44:09,790 --> 00:44:13,030
And you can ask any of my men. I've been
here working straight since seven this

514
00:44:13,030 --> 00:44:16,750
morning. Now, Daryl, I understand that
there was a cardboard box on the front

515
00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:18,330
seat of the car with your name on it.

516
00:44:18,710 --> 00:44:19,770
Is anything to that?

517
00:44:20,030 --> 00:44:21,510
It's going to take more than that to
hang me.

518
00:44:22,330 --> 00:44:26,070
I have a warehouse full of boxes with my
name on them. They're all over this

519
00:44:26,070 --> 00:44:27,070
city.

520
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:28,500
Thank you very much, Daryl.

521
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:30,360
Have a nice day.

522
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:31,700
Mr. Mason.

523
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,720
Looks like business is booming, Mr.
Hurley.

524
00:44:37,340 --> 00:44:40,020
There are a lot of big contracts in this
area now. I'm doing all right.

525
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,280
Pity we can't say the same for Amy Beth.

526
00:44:43,980 --> 00:44:47,440
Must have been quite a blow to you when
she broke off your relationship.

527
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,920
Amy Beth is the best thing that ever
happened to me.

528
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:53,620
We were made for each other.

529
00:44:53,860 --> 00:44:56,720
She just needed a little time to
straighten out her head enough to know

530
00:44:58,069 --> 00:44:59,810
Messing with those flyboys at that
airbase.

531
00:45:00,570 --> 00:45:01,650
That's what got her killed.

532
00:45:01,990 --> 00:45:04,330
I assume you're referring to Colonel
Parks.

533
00:45:04,630 --> 00:45:08,370
Well, I heard she'd gone for somebody up
there. I didn't know who until I went

534
00:45:08,370 --> 00:45:09,390
to her condo that night.

535
00:45:10,010 --> 00:45:11,210
Found her there with Parks.

536
00:45:11,810 --> 00:45:12,810
So you testified.

537
00:45:13,890 --> 00:45:15,950
How did you know she was involved with
it?

538
00:45:17,330 --> 00:45:21,710
I don't need to put my finger in a light
socket to know there's juice in it. He

539
00:45:21,710 --> 00:45:25,350
was there. I saw him. That was enough
for me. Is that why you became so angry?

540
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,900
So angry the colonel decided to leave
before you could start a fight? What

541
00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:31,980
difference does it make now?

542
00:45:32,740 --> 00:45:33,880
She's dead, isn't she?

543
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:39,480
The time that Parks is going to get for
this, he might as well be dead, too.

544
00:45:39,580 --> 00:45:42,600
You're just making trouble for
everybody. Not everybody, Mr. Hurley.

545
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:44,560
Not everybody.

546
00:45:51,700 --> 00:45:52,940
Right. Good.

547
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:54,160
Good. Thanks.

548
00:45:56,270 --> 00:45:59,850
I got the base legal office working on
releasing that videotape. Any luck

549
00:45:59,850 --> 00:46:03,190
inside? He's staying here, all right,
under the name of Frank Johnson.

550
00:46:03,870 --> 00:46:06,110
Clerk gave me a fairly good description
of him, too.

551
00:46:06,570 --> 00:46:09,910
All right. Well, I guess we better call
Sergeant Brock, huh? All in good time.

552
00:46:09,950 --> 00:46:11,670
All in good time. As long as we're here.

553
00:46:12,290 --> 00:46:14,890
Why don't we pay our Mr. Johnson a
little visit?

554
00:46:15,570 --> 00:46:16,990
Well, I don't see his car anywhere.

555
00:46:17,910 --> 00:46:18,910
Oh, the better.

556
00:46:52,060 --> 00:46:55,740
Are you just about finished in here?
Yeah

557
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,700
Let's take a look around while we're
here.

558
00:47:11,060 --> 00:47:13,260
You look in the bathroom and I'll check
out the closet.

559
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,520
Nothing in the bathroom except for this
brush.

560
00:47:26,460 --> 00:47:28,720
From the look of all this hair, he must
be going bald.

561
00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:33,400
Well, the clerk did say that he was a
big, hairy mountain man type.

562
00:47:34,420 --> 00:47:38,100
But what he needs with a blue button
-down Oxford shirt, I don't know.

563
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:41,660
If he's living in the hills, why check
in here?

564
00:47:43,060 --> 00:47:47,140
And why would he rent a tent just to
carry it around?

565
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,740
And he's got two cars? Come on, that
doesn't make any sense.

566
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,700
Well, in any case, we're getting out of
here while we still can.

567
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:34,980
Do you have Mr. Mason Park's new lawyer?

568
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,480
Mrs. Sloan.

569
00:48:36,660 --> 00:48:37,660
Mr. Mason.

570
00:48:39,540 --> 00:48:40,640
I'll lock up, Ellis.

571
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,200
We'll finish the leases in the morning.
See you tomorrow, Mr. Mason.

572
00:48:46,460 --> 00:48:48,800
My husband told me about your talk.

573
00:48:49,980 --> 00:48:55,220
I can't understand why you're digging
into this again. We've all been through

574
00:48:55,220 --> 00:48:56,220
much already.

575
00:48:58,060 --> 00:49:00,740
A man's life depends on it, Mrs. Sloan.

576
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,320
I know.

577
00:49:07,660 --> 00:49:08,660
Amy Beth Sawyer.

578
00:49:10,140 --> 00:49:11,220
She worked here.

579
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,400
Did you think she was effective?

580
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,360
No.

581
00:49:16,740 --> 00:49:18,100
But my husband did.

582
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,520
Amy Beth had a way with men, as you've
probably already heard.

583
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:27,200
But I was the one in the office with her
day after day.

584
00:49:27,780 --> 00:49:33,200
And it was your idea to let her move
into your company condominium.

585
00:49:37,930 --> 00:49:39,990
Jason couldn't do enough with a little
tart.

586
00:49:40,590 --> 00:49:41,650
You didn't object?

587
00:49:42,250 --> 00:49:44,070
I most certainly did.

588
00:49:44,750 --> 00:49:46,730
Until I realized it wasn't worth the
fight.

589
00:49:47,570 --> 00:49:49,350
She wasn't interested in Jason.

590
00:49:50,210 --> 00:49:51,390
It was the colonel.

591
00:49:51,930 --> 00:49:55,290
She was on the phone constantly to the
airbase.

592
00:49:55,570 --> 00:49:56,870
You're sure of that?

593
00:49:58,230 --> 00:50:04,190
Mr. Mason, if you were trying to make a
case that I was jealous enough of Amy

594
00:50:04,190 --> 00:50:06,610
Beth to murder her, forget it.

595
00:50:06,990 --> 00:50:09,770
The money in the family is mine.

596
00:50:10,510 --> 00:50:11,510
All mine.

597
00:50:11,970 --> 00:50:14,270
Jason knows he'll lose it if he strays
very far.

598
00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:23,110
The night she was killed, where were
you?

599
00:50:24,250 --> 00:50:27,050
At home, having a late supper with my
husband.

600
00:50:27,650 --> 00:50:28,670
He'll confirm that.

601
00:50:28,950 --> 00:50:29,950
I don't think so.

602
00:50:31,350 --> 00:50:34,470
He told me he was working here at the
office.

603
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,840
Alone. Good day, Mr. Sloan.

604
00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:50,340
Perry, I can't make anything out of this
Johnson guy.

605
00:50:50,700 --> 00:50:53,480
Everything about him is phony, including
his name.

606
00:50:54,540 --> 00:50:58,140
Backwoods mountain type is losing his
hair is about all I can come up with.

607
00:50:58,820 --> 00:51:02,200
Short of, I don't know, tracking down
this laundry tag.

608
00:51:02,860 --> 00:51:04,500
Uh, Paul, hold it a second.

609
00:51:05,310 --> 00:51:06,450
I'll have it ready shortly.

610
00:51:07,790 --> 00:51:10,330
Have you called Sergeant Brock with any
of this?

611
00:51:10,870 --> 00:51:13,230
I left a message for him, but he was
out.

612
00:51:13,850 --> 00:51:14,850
What else?

613
00:51:16,730 --> 00:51:20,130
Just a one -sided conversation with
Lieutenant Wilkins.

614
00:51:20,590 --> 00:51:24,290
Before he ran out on me, he said he had
a doctor's appointment in town. Do you

615
00:51:24,290 --> 00:51:25,290
want me to stay on this guy?

616
00:51:25,650 --> 00:51:28,410
No. Keep after this elusive Mr.

617
00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:29,630
Johnson.

618
00:51:29,850 --> 00:51:34,530
Tell him, what have you come up with on
the Sloans and the Milburn project?

619
00:51:35,290 --> 00:51:40,010
Jason Sloan was just a general
contractor working for Althea's father

620
00:51:40,010 --> 00:51:41,010
married her.

621
00:51:41,690 --> 00:51:44,710
Seems he hasn't managed her money very
well.

622
00:51:45,490 --> 00:51:50,230
He's lost almost all of her land except
for a 300 -acre tract south of the

623
00:51:50,230 --> 00:51:53,510
airbase. But the site of the Milbourne
Center is north of town.

624
00:51:54,490 --> 00:51:55,950
I know.

625
00:51:56,350 --> 00:52:01,210
But from what I can gather, Jason Sloan
worked out a land swap with the

626
00:52:01,210 --> 00:52:04,450
government for that 50 -acre parcel.

627
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:07,500
Now we need specifics.

628
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:14,020
Also, call the air base. See if the wing
commander can see me first thing in the

629
00:52:14,020 --> 00:52:15,020
morning.

630
00:52:16,860 --> 00:52:18,160
Do you know when you'll be back?

631
00:52:19,660 --> 00:52:20,660
I'm not sure.

632
00:52:27,260 --> 00:52:28,260
Mr.

633
00:52:31,980 --> 00:52:34,340
Mason, thank you for seeing me, General.

634
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:37,020
We didn't give you much notice. Sorry to
keep you waiting.

635
00:52:37,460 --> 00:52:40,700
I feel responsible for what's happened
to Colonel Parks.

636
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:45,160
Because you requested his transfer here
to Kirby as senior pilot instructor?

637
00:52:45,620 --> 00:52:49,560
Yes. He was a skilled pilot. I believed
him to be an officer of great integrity.

638
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,940
Then you must find it hard to believe he
murdered Miss Sawyer and Mr. McCarran.

639
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,700
I don't believe that.

640
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,140
Now, how can I help you, Mr. Mason?

641
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,280
What can you tell me about the land
trade made with Jason Sloan?

642
00:53:04,750 --> 00:53:06,290
It won't be a trade, officially.

643
00:53:06,650 --> 00:53:08,850
We needed to expand our dependent
housing.

644
00:53:09,270 --> 00:53:13,290
When Sloan suggested the old Millbourne
factory site, it seemed the perfect

645
00:53:13,290 --> 00:53:14,290
solution.

646
00:53:14,450 --> 00:53:19,110
Sloan offered to donate their land if we
would sell them ours.

647
00:53:20,830 --> 00:53:23,230
Doesn't that seem odd to you?

648
00:53:23,930 --> 00:53:25,850
Not with what he wants to do.

649
00:53:26,170 --> 00:53:29,990
The old factory site is right in line
with our flight path. Any commercial

650
00:53:29,990 --> 00:53:31,930
development down there would be doomed
from the start.

651
00:53:32,780 --> 00:53:35,000
But what does that have to do with
Colonel Parks?

652
00:53:36,140 --> 00:53:38,440
We're pursuing a number of different
leads.

653
00:53:39,140 --> 00:53:42,700
I'd like to talk to Lieutenant Wilkins
while I'm here, if you have no

654
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:43,700
objections.

655
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,980
Wilkins, I certainly have no objections.

656
00:53:46,780 --> 00:53:48,220
That's our tag, all right.

657
00:53:48,700 --> 00:53:50,580
Trying to find a customer with just
that?

658
00:53:51,220 --> 00:53:52,620
You're asking a lot, mister.

659
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:53,959
You sure?

660
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,380
I've got long hair, full beard. Maybe
somebody else here has seen him.

661
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,880
There's not anybody else here. I'm it,
and I've been it for better than five

662
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,620
years, and I don't have any customer
look like that. Sorry.

663
00:54:04,980 --> 00:54:10,220
Roger, red eye zero one. You are cleared
for takeoff. Winds are 12 knots at one

664
00:54:10,220 --> 00:54:11,640
niner zero degrees.

665
00:54:12,380 --> 00:54:13,800
Engine and instruments good.

666
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:16,880
Temperature's looking good. I'm ready
for takeoff.

667
00:54:17,580 --> 00:54:19,200
Roger, red eye zero one.

668
00:54:20,420 --> 00:54:23,160
Okay, Wilkie, make this a good one. We
got us a VIP watching.

669
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,160
We having fun now. Who's out there?

670
00:54:26,830 --> 00:54:30,370
And this is our flight simulator control
room, Mr. Mason. Lieutenant Wilkins is

671
00:54:30,370 --> 00:54:31,470
flying the simulator now.

672
00:54:31,950 --> 00:54:33,970
It's Peterson and some guy named Mason?

673
00:54:35,110 --> 00:54:36,110
Roger.

674
00:54:54,250 --> 00:54:58,390
Red -Eye -01, you are trailing smoke. I
repeat, you are trailing smoke.

675
00:55:00,930 --> 00:55:03,330
Red -Eye -01, do you copy?

676
00:55:04,550 --> 00:55:06,670
Kirby Tower on guard. Confirm smoke.

677
00:55:08,230 --> 00:55:10,170
Red -Eye -01, smoke confirmed.

678
00:55:10,430 --> 00:55:13,770
You are on fire. I repeat, you are on
fire.

679
00:55:16,970 --> 00:55:17,970
Not now.

680
00:55:18,210 --> 00:55:19,390
Please, not now.

681
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,260
Come on, Wilkie, talk to me.

682
00:55:28,820 --> 00:55:32,140
Red Eyes, Zero One, engine and
temperature redlining.

683
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:33,319
Do you copy?

684
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,480
I repeat, you are on fire. What are your
intentions?

685
00:55:40,420 --> 00:55:41,540
Get up, get up.

686
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:50,720
What's he doing in there?

687
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,020
I don't know, Captain.

688
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:55,480
Come on, we'll be eluded.

689
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,200
Red eyes, zero, one, eject. I repeat,
eject.

690
00:56:52,839 --> 00:56:59,720
Wilkin Lieutenant Wilkins, my name is

691
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:00,720
Mason

692
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,620
I'm Colonel Park's attorney.

693
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:04,320
Sir?

694
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,180
Are you feeling all right?

695
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,940
You seem to be having some difficulty in
there.

696
00:57:10,380 --> 00:57:11,118
I'm fine.

697
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,700
I just got confused about fire take -off
procedures, sir.

698
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:21,480
Perhaps you wouldn't mind answering a
few questions regarding your testimony

699
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:22,940
Colonel Park's trial.

700
00:57:24,980 --> 00:57:27,960
Don't you come in here and start asking
me a whole lot of questions about

701
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:29,560
something that happened a long time ago.

702
00:57:30,060 --> 00:57:31,620
I have nothing to add to the record.

703
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,600
It's bad enough I had to testify against
my own squadron commander.

704
00:57:36,420 --> 00:57:39,880
I'll see you at the hearing tomorrow.

705
00:57:41,980 --> 00:57:42,980
Sir?

706
00:57:56,260 --> 00:57:57,300
Good morning, counsel.

707
00:57:58,990 --> 00:58:02,290
In the matter of people versus Kevin
Parks.

708
00:58:02,890 --> 00:58:03,890
People ready?

709
00:58:04,150 --> 00:58:05,150
Yes, Your Honor.

710
00:58:05,590 --> 00:58:06,590
Defense ready?

711
00:58:06,710 --> 00:58:07,890
We are, Your Honor.

712
00:58:09,170 --> 00:58:10,930
Mr. Ruck, you may call your first
witness.

713
00:58:11,350 --> 00:58:13,590
The people call Sergeant Clifford Brock.

714
00:58:15,230 --> 00:58:20,330
Sergeant Brock, when you investigated
Lester McCarron's death, did you find

715
00:58:20,330 --> 00:58:22,870
anything of significance at the scene of
the shooting?

716
00:58:23,210 --> 00:58:27,310
Yes, we found threads on a nail in the
back door leading to the restaurant.

717
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,040
Are these the threads to which you are
referring?

718
00:58:33,780 --> 00:58:34,820
Those are the threads.

719
00:58:36,140 --> 00:58:42,480
Let the record show that Sergeant Brock
has indicated the threads that are

720
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:43,740
marked People's Exhibit 12.

721
00:58:45,580 --> 00:58:48,140
Did you find the garment from which
these threads came?

722
00:58:48,740 --> 00:58:52,620
The threads were an obvious match to a
tear in the suit coat which was found on

723
00:58:52,620 --> 00:58:54,840
the front seat next to the defendant at
the time of his arrest.

724
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:00,300
Would this jacket marked People's
Exhibit 14 be the coat that you found?

725
00:59:00,700 --> 00:59:01,760
That is the coat.

726
00:59:02,180 --> 00:59:08,760
I show you now People's Exhibit 15 and
ask if you recognize it.

727
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,780
That is a .38 revolver which was also
found in the car next to the defendant

728
00:59:13,780 --> 00:59:14,820
the time of his arrest.

729
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:20,900
It has been stipulated by defense that
People's Exhibit 15 was indeed the

730
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:22,900
weapon. It has been further stipulated
by defense.

731
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:26,700
that the defendant's fingerprints were
found on this revolver.

732
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,940
Sergeant, was a paraffin test performed?

733
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,020
Yes, it was. The paraffin test was
performed by me on the hands of the

734
00:59:35,020 --> 00:59:37,240
defendant, and it indicated he had
recently fired a weapon.

735
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,100
Thank you, Sergeant Brock.

736
00:59:39,700 --> 00:59:40,800
No further questions.

737
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:42,740
Thank you, Mr.

738
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:44,360
Reston. Mr. Mason.

739
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:50,140
Now, Sergeant, isn't it true that...

740
00:59:51,020 --> 00:59:55,220
None of Colonel Park's fingerprints were
found at the scene of the crime?

741
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:57,400
That is correct, Mr. Mason.

742
00:59:57,900 --> 01:00:04,120
That means not on the back door of the
restaurant, not on its doorknob,

743
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:08,700
not on its door handle, not anywhere.

744
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,020
That is also correct, Mr. Mason.

745
01:00:12,780 --> 01:00:17,740
So it's possible, is it not, for another
person to have placed this revolver...

746
01:00:18,510 --> 01:00:23,490
in Colonel Park's hand while he was
unconscious, and then to have caused it

747
01:00:23,490 --> 01:00:26,550
fire, leaving traces of gunpowder on his
hand.

748
01:00:27,070 --> 01:00:31,410
Objection. Assumes facts not in evidence
and calls for speculation.

749
01:00:32,070 --> 01:00:33,070
Retained.

750
01:00:34,850 --> 01:00:39,470
Sergeant, you're an experienced
investigator.

751
01:00:41,030 --> 01:00:44,850
Did you find the absence of fingerprints
at the restaurant unusual?

752
01:00:46,860 --> 01:00:52,180
Well, Mr. Mason, it has been known to
happen, and besides, we did find those

753
01:00:52,180 --> 01:00:53,180
threads, sir.

754
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:54,640
Oh, yes, threads.

755
01:00:56,340 --> 01:01:02,300
With the court's indulgence, defense
would like to engage in a brief

756
01:01:02,300 --> 01:01:03,300
demonstration.

757
01:01:04,340 --> 01:01:06,260
What sort of demonstration, Mr. Mason?

758
01:01:06,620 --> 01:01:11,600
A demonstration relating to threads,
those just mentioned by the sergeant.

759
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,780
right, Mr. Mason, the court has no
objections.

760
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:15,240
Mr. Reston?

761
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:17,820
No objection, Your Honor.

762
01:01:18,540 --> 01:01:24,800
Now, Sergeant, that door frame has been
marked Defense Exhibit D

763
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,060
for identification.

764
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,440
Please examine it and tell us if you
recognize it.

765
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:40,220
I recognize it, Mr. Mason. It is a
backdoor frame from Langley's

766
01:01:40,620 --> 01:01:41,980
I sure hope Mr.

767
01:01:42,420 --> 01:01:44,920
Langley knows about this, sir. He does,
Sergeant.

768
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:50,520
I hope you appreciate the trouble he
went to in getting that door frame to

769
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,960
court. All right, Sergeant, that nail.

770
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,000
The nail where you found the suit
threads.

771
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,580
Has it been moved or adjusted in any
way?

772
01:02:02,340 --> 01:02:04,280
No, Mr. Mason, same place.

773
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:05,538
You're sure?

774
01:02:05,540 --> 01:02:07,720
I'm positive, Mr. Mason. Thank you.

775
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,100
Colonel Parks, would you please stand
over there near the sergeant?

776
01:02:17,390 --> 01:02:20,850
Now, Colonel, would you please stand
within the doorframe?

777
01:02:24,850 --> 01:02:31,550
Sergeant, wouldn't you agree that his
shoulder would be at

778
01:02:31,550 --> 01:02:35,190
least four inches lower than the nail in
that doorframe?

779
01:02:39,890 --> 01:02:42,010
How about four inches, Mr. Mason, or
more?

780
01:02:43,230 --> 01:02:44,230
Thank you, Colonel.

781
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:50,900
One more thing, Sergeant.

782
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:52,160
Please sit down.

783
01:02:53,800 --> 01:03:00,760
Now, defense requested that you bring a
locket to this

784
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:01,760
court.

785
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:06,320
The locket that was recovered from the
body of Lester McCarron after his death.

786
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:10,920
Is that this locket?

787
01:03:13,140 --> 01:03:14,580
That is the locket, Mr. Mason.

788
01:03:18,670 --> 01:03:20,170
Thank you, Sergeant. No further
questions.

789
01:03:21,710 --> 01:03:27,470
I ask that this locket be marked Defense
Exhibit E for identification.

790
01:03:28,090 --> 01:03:29,390
It shall be so marked.

791
01:03:30,730 --> 01:03:31,730
Mr. Redson?

792
01:03:32,650 --> 01:03:35,550
I have no questions at this time, Your
Honor.

793
01:03:36,370 --> 01:03:37,430
You may step down.

794
01:03:38,070 --> 01:03:43,970
Your Honor, the defense has a witness
who has traveled a great distance to get

795
01:03:43,970 --> 01:03:46,510
here today. We request that she be
permitted to testify.

796
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:48,360
Out of order.

797
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,520
Who is the witness, Mr. Mason?

798
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:52,160
The decedent's widow, Your Honor.

799
01:03:56,620 --> 01:03:57,680
Denise McCarron.

800
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:05,200
Mrs. McCarron, I've shown you this
locket, defense exhibit E.

801
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,160
Now I ask you if you recognize it.

802
01:04:10,420 --> 01:04:13,760
Yes. My husband gave it to me when we
were married.

803
01:04:14,700 --> 01:04:16,060
I always wear it.

804
01:04:17,130 --> 01:04:21,150
Do you know how it came to be in your
husband's pocket at the time of his

805
01:04:22,450 --> 01:04:24,010
No, I don't.

806
01:04:25,530 --> 01:04:29,670
On the evening before Lester was to
testify, I was shopping.

807
01:04:30,490 --> 01:04:35,250
On my way out of the market, I was
knocked down and some man tore it off my

808
01:04:35,250 --> 01:04:36,250
neck.

809
01:04:36,690 --> 01:04:39,630
Where were you when your husband was
testifying?

810
01:04:41,010 --> 01:04:45,070
I'd received a message that my sister
had been in an automobile accident at

811
01:04:45,070 --> 01:04:46,070
Channing.

812
01:04:47,130 --> 01:04:48,130
the hospital there.

813
01:04:48,470 --> 01:04:49,650
How was your sister?

814
01:04:52,610 --> 01:04:53,690
She was fine.

815
01:04:55,110 --> 01:04:56,910
There hadn't been any accident.

816
01:04:58,050 --> 01:05:00,350
Just a ruse to get you out of town.

817
01:05:01,370 --> 01:05:02,570
Objection, Your Honor.

818
01:05:02,930 --> 01:05:05,470
Where is Mr. Mason going with all this?

819
01:05:06,270 --> 01:05:07,270
Mr. Mason?

820
01:05:07,690 --> 01:05:13,170
Defense is attempting to show a
connection between those events and Mr.

821
01:05:13,230 --> 01:05:14,230
McCarran's death.

822
01:05:15,820 --> 01:05:17,140
I'll allow it for the moment.

823
01:05:18,620 --> 01:05:24,400
Mrs. McCarron, before your husband was
to testify, hadn't the two of you been

824
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:25,400
receiving threats?

825
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:29,200
There were some phone calls.

826
01:05:30,860 --> 01:05:32,200
They made me edgy.

827
01:05:33,580 --> 01:05:34,580
Very edgy.

828
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,440
But Lester thought they were just crank
calls.

829
01:05:40,340 --> 01:05:41,640
At least at first.

830
01:05:42,860 --> 01:05:43,880
Weren't they, in fact?

831
01:05:44,730 --> 01:05:48,030
Part of a systematic campaign to
terrorize your husband?

832
01:05:48,770 --> 01:05:54,010
A campaign climaxed by the delivery of
your locket to him with the suggestion

833
01:05:54,010 --> 01:05:57,830
that your life would be in danger were
he to testify?

834
01:05:59,330 --> 01:06:02,370
Mr. Mason, I just don't... Objection.

835
01:06:02,750 --> 01:06:05,810
Argumentative. Calls for complete
speculation by the witness.

836
01:06:07,170 --> 01:06:08,950
I'm going to sustain the objection.

837
01:06:10,890 --> 01:06:12,090
Mrs. McCarran.

838
01:06:13,290 --> 01:06:16,110
I'm sure the whole court offers you its
sympathy.

839
01:06:16,830 --> 01:06:21,010
I thank you for coming here under very
trying circumstances.

840
01:06:22,190 --> 01:06:23,610
I've no further questions.

841
01:06:24,250 --> 01:06:25,250
No questions.

842
01:06:35,430 --> 01:06:38,670
I have the reports from the phone
company that you wanted.

843
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,940
Were you able to come up with any more
on Sloan's land deal?

844
01:06:43,340 --> 01:06:47,940
Only the original environmental survey
that was filed with the county land

845
01:06:47,940 --> 01:06:53,680
office. But, Perry, this report was
supposedly done by just one engineer.

846
01:06:54,360 --> 01:07:00,380
And none of the pages in the second half
matched the typeface or the papers in

847
01:07:00,380 --> 01:07:01,380
the first half.

848
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:04,480
Did you speak with the engineer?

849
01:07:05,620 --> 01:07:07,020
He moved back east.

850
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:08,800
He was offered a better job.

851
01:07:10,180 --> 01:07:12,220
Dillon, did he take the job?

852
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,680
Yes. About the time I submitted this
report.

853
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:20,560
All right.

854
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,120
I'll take these.

855
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:25,780
You'll find that engineer.

856
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:28,560
Yes, sir.

857
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:30,520
You forgot the salute.

858
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:16,120
for the Sergeant Brock.

859
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:20,859
Sergeant Paul Drake.

860
01:08:21,100 --> 01:08:22,200
I got your man, John.

861
01:08:22,700 --> 01:08:27,000
He's at a liquor store at the corner of
Sheridan and Colfax.

862
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:29,399
All right.

863
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:58,660
You want to call Sergeant Brock?

864
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:00,399
He's got a red black shirt.

865
01:09:07,779 --> 01:09:08,779
Sergeant,

866
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:16,439
we have him trapped inside.

867
01:09:17,020 --> 01:09:20,240
All right, then we got a possible
hostage situation. I want everybody to

868
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:21,240
careful.

869
01:09:22,300 --> 01:09:23,340
Lieutenant Wilkins.

870
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,300
I understand the Air Force is a family
tradition.

871
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,420
My father and grandfather were both Air
Force officers, sir.

872
01:09:31,380 --> 01:09:36,840
And as an officer and gentleman, you're
bound by a code that goes beyond the

873
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:38,140
oath you took in this courtroom.

874
01:09:38,580 --> 01:09:39,580
Yes, sir, I am.

875
01:09:40,220 --> 01:09:43,359
You knew Amy Beth Sawyer, did you not?

876
01:09:44,060 --> 01:09:45,060
No.

877
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:49,140
As I testified at Colonel Park's
previous trial, I really barely knew

878
01:09:49,899 --> 01:09:50,899
Barely knew her.

879
01:09:54,570 --> 01:10:00,070
Tell me, does telephone number 555 -4927

880
01:10:00,070 --> 01:10:02,770
sound familiar to you?

881
01:10:03,790 --> 01:10:04,930
I don't think so.

882
01:10:06,790 --> 01:10:13,610
Lieutenant, isn't it true that there
were more than 30 calls from the

883
01:10:13,610 --> 01:10:19,350
phone in your quarters to Ms. Sawyer's
condominium during the month prior to

884
01:10:19,350 --> 01:10:20,350
death?

885
01:10:21,390 --> 01:10:22,690
I wouldn't know that.

886
01:10:22,910 --> 01:10:23,910
Lieutenant Wilkins.

887
01:10:25,130 --> 01:10:31,090
You called Miss Sawyer frequently, and
you were very close friends.

888
01:10:32,010 --> 01:10:33,750
Now, isn't that true?

889
01:10:40,150 --> 01:10:41,150
Yes.

890
01:10:44,290 --> 01:10:48,250
All right, Lieutenant. What is the drug
meclizine used for?

891
01:10:50,110 --> 01:10:51,330
I wouldn't know that.

892
01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:53,810
Oh, please, Lieutenant, I...

893
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,380
I don't ask these questions lightly.

894
01:10:58,300 --> 01:11:01,680
Now, you take meclizine, do you not?

895
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:07,340
Yes. And you take it for what condition?

896
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,380
Recurrent vestibular neuronitis.

897
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:17,220
In layman's terms, an inner ear problem
that causes extreme dizziness.

898
01:11:17,980 --> 01:11:21,480
A condition that could end a pilot's
career.

899
01:11:22,630 --> 01:11:23,630
Isn't that so?

900
01:11:26,510 --> 01:11:27,510
Yes.

901
01:11:27,730 --> 01:11:33,890
And in the course of your secret affair
with Miss Sawyer, she discovered your

902
01:11:33,890 --> 01:11:34,890
condition.

903
01:11:35,890 --> 01:11:36,890
Isn't that so?

904
01:11:38,930 --> 01:11:39,930
Yeah.

905
01:11:40,710 --> 01:11:47,690
Yeah, she, uh... She wanted me to talk
to

906
01:11:47,690 --> 01:11:50,770
Colonel Parks about it, but I knew that
he would just have to report that.

907
01:11:51,530 --> 01:11:56,410
And I try to keep her under control with
drugs.

908
01:11:57,950 --> 01:12:00,410
Ms. Sawyer knew about your condition.

909
01:12:01,490 --> 01:12:05,690
It was a threat to your Air Force
career.

910
01:12:07,850 --> 01:12:13,070
You had to be sure that she would remain
silent.

911
01:12:14,650 --> 01:12:15,830
Isn't that so?

912
01:12:16,570 --> 01:12:17,570
No.

913
01:12:21,350 --> 01:12:22,870
No, it's not. I wouldn't and I couldn't.

914
01:12:25,830 --> 01:12:26,830
I love Beth.

915
01:12:31,230 --> 01:12:33,670
I believe that's probably true,
Lieutenant.

916
01:12:36,170 --> 01:12:37,310
No further questions.

917
01:12:38,690 --> 01:12:40,310
May this witness be excused?

918
01:12:41,150 --> 01:12:43,030
Yes, Your Honor, I have no questions.

919
01:12:43,890 --> 01:12:44,890
You may step down.

920
01:12:49,870 --> 01:12:51,810
You didn't show up for lunch. I figured
something might have happened.

921
01:12:52,430 --> 01:12:54,350
Well, we have Johnson trapped inside.

922
01:13:13,290 --> 01:13:16,470
All right, Eric, take a couple of men
and go in and search the place. Hey, Mr.

923
01:13:16,550 --> 01:13:17,550
Drake.

924
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,620
I sure don't see a mountain man. Well, I
don't see him either.

925
01:13:20,860 --> 01:13:23,700
Sergeant, none of these folks recall
seeing a fellow like this guy described.

926
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:28,200
Now, wait a minute. I saw the guy. Go
with... Now, you saw him in there, too.

927
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,980
No, I didn't. I was just taking your
word for it. Hey, Sarge, the place is

928
01:13:31,980 --> 01:13:32,980
empty.

929
01:13:33,340 --> 01:13:36,220
You know, if I thought it would do any
good, I'd file charges against you.

930
01:13:48,110 --> 01:13:49,110
Mr. Drake?

931
01:13:50,510 --> 01:13:55,230
Captain O'Malley said she wanted you to
meet her at the off -the -alley cafe for

932
01:13:55,230 --> 01:13:58,970
breakfast. Said something about knowing
who Mr. Johnson is.

933
01:13:59,210 --> 01:14:00,770
Oh, yes, right. Thank you very much.

934
01:14:01,770 --> 01:14:03,470
Uh, no, I didn't call you.

935
01:14:03,870 --> 01:14:04,930
I just got in.

936
01:14:05,410 --> 01:14:06,850
Well, now that's what I thought.

937
01:14:07,750 --> 01:14:08,790
Then it's a setup.

938
01:14:09,110 --> 01:14:10,690
Well, then you better call Sergeant
Brock.

939
01:14:11,990 --> 01:14:15,390
No, I think I've cried wolf one too many
times as far as he's concerned.

940
01:14:16,150 --> 01:14:17,830
You can't go out there by yourself.
yourself.

941
01:14:19,870 --> 01:14:20,970
Well, I think I have to.

942
01:14:21,290 --> 01:14:22,630
Well, then I'm going to call him, Paul.

943
01:14:23,590 --> 01:14:25,010
Well, maybe he'll believe you.

944
01:14:25,770 --> 01:14:26,770
See you later.

945
01:14:39,510 --> 01:14:41,710
Is defense ready to call its next
witness, Mr. Mason?

946
01:14:42,510 --> 01:14:47,390
It was our hope to, Your Honor, but
defense may have to request a short

947
01:14:47,390 --> 01:14:49,650
as our next witness has not yet arrived.

948
01:14:49,890 --> 01:14:53,190
Well, if it's Chester Lackberry you're
waiting for, you needn't bother, because

949
01:14:53,190 --> 01:14:54,650
he's right here.

950
01:14:56,010 --> 01:15:00,670
Your Honor, defense calls Chester
Lackberry.

951
01:15:05,910 --> 01:15:10,830
Mr. Lackberry, prior to moving out of
the state, you were the engineer.

952
01:15:11,509 --> 01:15:15,630
responsible for testing certain lands
before they were traded or sold.

953
01:15:15,890 --> 01:15:16,890
Is that correct?

954
01:15:16,910 --> 01:15:20,370
You got it. 29 years. Never missed a day
of work.

955
01:15:20,750 --> 01:15:26,010
And why, after 29 years, did you decide
to leave your post?

956
01:15:27,430 --> 01:15:32,370
Somebody up and offered me a better job,
that's why. In Albany, New York, for

957
01:15:32,370 --> 01:15:33,870
about twice the pay, too.

958
01:15:34,370 --> 01:15:38,610
Didn't it surprise you, Mr. Lackberry,
to be offered a new position with a

959
01:15:38,610 --> 01:15:40,410
substantial increase in salary?

960
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,440
As far away as Albany?

961
01:15:43,100 --> 01:15:45,980
Well, I admit, it came out of the blue
at me.

962
01:15:46,860 --> 01:15:53,260
Do you recall, sir, what you were
working on when this piece of good

963
01:15:53,260 --> 01:15:54,280
happened to strike you?

964
01:15:54,660 --> 01:16:00,480
Oh, well, let's see. That would have to
be the soil survey on Milburn's old

965
01:16:00,480 --> 01:16:01,480
land.

966
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,680
Something about a fancy kind of land
swap with the Air Force base.

967
01:16:05,420 --> 01:16:06,420
I'm right, ain't I?

968
01:16:11,020 --> 01:16:16,300
Mr. Lackberry, I show you Defense
Exhibit F.

969
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:18,620
Do you recognize it?

970
01:16:21,380 --> 01:16:22,380
Oh, shoot.

971
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:27,000
I started going in 78, won't come back
for love or money.

972
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,380
Yeah, Mr. Hayden.

973
01:16:44,650 --> 01:16:46,970
Is that the report you submitted to the
airport?

974
01:16:49,110 --> 01:16:53,890
Well, yes and no.

975
01:16:54,210 --> 01:16:55,810
What do you mean, yes and no?

976
01:16:56,970 --> 01:16:58,710
Well, the first part's mine, all right.

977
01:16:59,030 --> 01:17:00,730
Typed it myself in my old portable.

978
01:17:01,090 --> 01:17:02,090
The second part?

979
01:17:03,630 --> 01:17:05,970
Well, I know that I didn't type that.

980
01:17:07,030 --> 01:17:08,810
How do you know that, Mr. Lackberry?

981
01:17:09,430 --> 01:17:11,870
Because it's plump jackass wrong, that's
why.

982
01:17:12,150 --> 01:17:15,240
It says here Milburn's old land is...
It's safe to build on.

983
01:17:16,180 --> 01:17:20,680
And you believe the land is not safe?

984
01:17:22,060 --> 01:17:23,520
Of course it isn't.

985
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:28,200
Old Milburn had a big chemical factory
out there dumped straight into the

986
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,200
ground. Land's toxic as a witch's wash.

987
01:17:31,620 --> 01:17:35,020
You can't build on that land. Not now,
not ever.

988
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,460
Thank you, Mr. Lackberry.

989
01:17:39,500 --> 01:17:40,500
Thank you.

990
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:47,920
No further questions.

991
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:49,720
Mr. Reston?

992
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:55,680
I have no questions, Your Honor, but for
the record, the people have a

993
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,840
continuing objection to this entire line
of testimony.

994
01:18:02,820 --> 01:18:05,060
Defense calls Mr. Jason Sloan.

995
01:19:23,660 --> 01:19:24,660
Okay.

996
01:20:44,140 --> 01:20:45,240
Somebody get an ambulance?

997
01:20:55,240 --> 01:21:02,040
And aren't you personally negotiating
the contract between your company

998
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,340
and the Air Force for the building of
the Milburn Center?

999
01:21:04,860 --> 01:21:05,900
Yes, that's correct.

1000
01:21:06,300 --> 01:21:11,640
Are you arranged for the rights to
purchase 50 acres of government -owned

1001
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:12,640
north of town?

1002
01:21:13,480 --> 01:21:18,840
by donating 300 acres to the old Milburn
factory site. Yes.

1003
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:20,500
A site Mr.

1004
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:25,980
Lackberry has just testified was toxic
as a witch's wash.

1005
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,880
I never saw that report in my life.
Never saw it?

1006
01:21:32,260 --> 01:21:33,960
Never saw it, Mr. Sloan?

1007
01:21:35,540 --> 01:21:40,980
In spite of the fact that the Milburn
project represents your company's

1008
01:21:40,980 --> 01:21:41,980
undertaking?

1009
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,780
A project that, should it fail, would
drive you certainly into bankruptcy?

1010
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,040
Althea.

1011
01:21:50,380 --> 01:21:54,360
Mrs. Sloan and her brother, Ellis
Milburn, handled all the paperwork.

1012
01:21:56,220 --> 01:21:59,860
And... Amy Beth Sawyer.

1013
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:05,900
Wouldn't her job have given her access
to all your company's transactions?

1014
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:08,940
Yes, I guess so. That would have been
part of her work.

1015
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:13,880
So she would have had access to Mr.
Lackberry's report detailing the soil

1016
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:17,660
conditions at the old Milburn factory
site, wouldn't she?

1017
01:22:17,940 --> 01:22:18,940
Yes, I guess she would.

1018
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:26,480
You also knew that if officials at the
Air Force Base learned

1019
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:31,380
of any problems with the land, they
would cancel the deal at once.

1020
01:22:31,740 --> 01:22:33,860
Objection. Calls for speculation from
the witness.

1021
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,520
We'll draw the question. At the time of
her murder,

1022
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:42,720
Miss Sawyer was living in a condominium
owned by your company, isn't that

1023
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,080
correct? Yes, but... A condominium to
which you always had a key?

1024
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,600
Of course I had a key, but that doesn't
mean anything... Mr. Sloan, if Miss

1025
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:54,140
Sawyer had told Colonel Parks about that
report, you would have been ruined.

1026
01:22:54,780 --> 01:22:58,280
You had motive, means, opportunity.

1027
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,460
I didn't kill Amy Beth.

1028
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:02,800
Why should we believe you?

1029
01:23:10,830 --> 01:23:11,830
Because I loved her.

1030
01:23:14,270 --> 01:23:17,810
I never laid a hand on that girl, but
heaven help me, I loved her.

1031
01:23:25,710 --> 01:23:26,870
No further questions.

1032
01:23:27,670 --> 01:23:31,390
Your Honor, may I have a moment to
confer with Mr. Drake?

1033
01:23:32,250 --> 01:23:33,250
Very well.

1034
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:42,520
Uh, Mr. Reston.

1035
01:23:49,940 --> 01:23:53,740
Your Honor, at the request of defense
counsel, I will forego my cross

1036
01:23:53,740 --> 01:23:57,060
-examination of this witness for the
moment, so that counsel may continue.

1037
01:23:59,260 --> 01:24:01,060
You may step down, Mr. Sloan.

1038
01:24:02,220 --> 01:24:09,080
I, uh... I now call Althea Sloan to the
stand.

1039
01:24:10,500 --> 01:24:11,500
Lee.

1040
01:24:12,910 --> 01:24:17,970
The assets of your husband's company
really came from land and money you

1041
01:24:17,970 --> 01:24:20,970
inherited from your father. Isn't that
correct, Mrs. Sloan?

1042
01:24:21,470 --> 01:24:22,470
Yes.

1043
01:24:22,950 --> 01:24:29,610
And your husband hasn't had much success
managing those assets, has he?

1044
01:24:29,910 --> 01:24:30,910
It's not his fault.

1045
01:24:32,530 --> 01:24:33,730
He worked hard.

1046
01:24:36,290 --> 01:24:39,850
Things just never seem to come together.

1047
01:24:40,470 --> 01:24:42,070
And the Milbourne Center.

1048
01:24:43,660 --> 01:24:49,100
Would be the last chance for either of
you to see your inheritance restored,

1049
01:24:49,340 --> 01:24:50,340
wouldn't it?

1050
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,880
The old factory site was all we had
left.

1051
01:24:54,640 --> 01:25:00,300
But you knew, you both knew, there had
once been a toxic chemical plant on that

1052
01:25:00,300 --> 01:25:01,300
land, did you not?

1053
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:03,700
So long ago.

1054
01:25:04,660 --> 01:25:08,660
That's why you arranged to have Chester
Lackberry offered...

1055
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,380
a higher -paying job elsewhere, and why
you arranged to have his survey report

1056
01:25:13,380 --> 01:25:14,380
altered.

1057
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:18,240
I don't know what you're talking about.

1058
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:29,500
The typeface appearing on the altered
portion of Mr. Blackberry's report

1059
01:25:29,500 --> 01:25:34,180
matches that of the typewriter in your
office.

1060
01:25:34,860 --> 01:25:37,420
There must be thousands like it, Mr.
Mason.

1061
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,100
Besides, anybody could have used my
typewriter.

1062
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:41,820
Who, Mrs. Sloan?

1063
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:43,100
Why?

1064
01:25:43,940 --> 01:25:46,100
Who else had so much to lose?

1065
01:25:48,440 --> 01:25:49,440
I wouldn't know.

1066
01:25:52,140 --> 01:25:55,480
Maybe, uh, Amy Beth changed the report.

1067
01:25:56,340 --> 01:25:57,340
Amy Beth?

1068
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:00,860
Come now, Mrs. Sloan, come now.

1069
01:26:01,660 --> 01:26:05,900
She had nothing to gain by altering this
report.

1070
01:26:09,809 --> 01:26:16,390
Now, at the first trial, you

1071
01:26:16,390 --> 01:26:22,790
testified you'd taken calls for Miss
Sawyer from Colonel Parks on the day of

1072
01:26:22,790 --> 01:26:28,770
murder. That you had, in fact, stayed on
the line to overhear their

1073
01:26:28,770 --> 01:26:29,770
conversation.

1074
01:26:32,090 --> 01:26:36,990
I overheard him ask her about a problem
that she did not wish to discuss on the

1075
01:26:36,990 --> 01:26:38,920
telephone. It's all in the transcript.

1076
01:26:39,380 --> 01:26:40,600
Yes, I have it here.

1077
01:26:42,020 --> 01:26:43,020
All of it.

1078
01:26:44,860 --> 01:26:51,260
You also overheard them arrange to meet
at the condominium that night.

1079
01:26:52,480 --> 01:26:53,480
I did?

1080
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:58,640
You must have thought that the problem
they were discussing was the engineer's

1081
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:01,900
report. The one that you had
deliberately changed.

1082
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:05,320
I don't remember what I thought.

1083
01:27:07,470 --> 01:27:13,210
Isn't it true that to protect what
remained of the Milbourne legacy,

1084
01:27:13,450 --> 01:27:20,090
you arranged to have Amy Beth Sawyer
murdered and Colonel Parks

1085
01:27:20,090 --> 01:27:21,370
framed for that murder?

1086
01:27:22,130 --> 01:27:23,970
No, that is not true.

1087
01:27:32,410 --> 01:27:34,830
Who is Frank Johnson, Mr. Sloan?

1088
01:27:37,770 --> 01:27:38,770
I don't know.

1089
01:27:38,870 --> 01:27:44,570
Then you don't care to know that just
over an hour ago, the man who calls

1090
01:27:44,570 --> 01:27:49,630
himself Frank Johnson had a serious
accident and was taken to the county

1091
01:27:49,630 --> 01:27:51,270
hospital? Oh, my God.

1092
01:27:52,270 --> 01:27:53,530
Was he... Hurt?

1093
01:27:55,470 --> 01:28:00,010
Are you asking if your brother, Ellis
Milbourne, was hurt?

1094
01:28:03,490 --> 01:28:04,490
Please.

1095
01:28:04,830 --> 01:28:06,210
Is Ellis all right?

1096
01:28:07,690 --> 01:28:13,070
He is in serious condition, but the
doctors believe the

1097
01:28:13,070 --> 01:28:15,610
prognosis is fair.

1098
01:28:16,590 --> 01:28:23,550
Now, Mrs. Sloan, it was your brother
disguised as Frank Johnson who killed

1099
01:28:23,550 --> 01:28:25,490
Amy Beth Sawyer, wasn't it?

1100
01:28:26,930 --> 01:28:31,170
It was your brother who killed Lester
McCarron, wasn't it?

1101
01:28:33,150 --> 01:28:36,210
It was your brother who framed Colonel
Parks.

1102
01:28:44,460 --> 01:28:45,460
There was no other way.

1103
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:52,420
My father had worked so hard.

1104
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:54,500
He'd left us so much.

1105
01:28:55,380 --> 01:28:56,700
Jason lost it.

1106
01:28:57,680 --> 01:28:58,720
Lost everything.

1107
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:03,340
Except that useless piece of land where
the factory once stood.

1108
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,300
It was Ellis' idea.

1109
01:29:10,300 --> 01:29:12,380
Jason didn't have to know anything about
it.

1110
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:16,600
But Amy Beth knew.

1111
01:29:19,780 --> 01:29:21,040
She knew too much.

1112
01:29:24,580 --> 01:29:26,840
It was our way out.

1113
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:32,500
Ellis blamed Jason. Andy blamed me. So I
went along with it.

1114
01:29:35,620 --> 01:29:38,460
It was Ellis' idea.

1115
01:29:46,030 --> 01:29:49,290
Defense moves to drop all charges
against this defendant.

1116
01:29:50,150 --> 01:29:54,250
I will at the appropriate time move to
set aside the conviction in the other

1117
01:29:54,250 --> 01:29:57,630
case and exonerate this defendant fully.

1118
01:29:59,170 --> 01:30:01,170
The prosecution concurs.

1119
01:30:03,690 --> 01:30:04,690
So ordered.

1120
01:30:05,470 --> 01:30:08,470
The bailiff is instructed to take Mrs.
Sloan into custody.

1121
01:30:09,630 --> 01:30:11,070
Court is now adjourned.

1122
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:37,420
Mason, there'll be no problem with
Colonel Park's reinstatement. We're just

1123
01:30:37,420 --> 01:30:39,940
going for a little reorientation ride.
Come on, Kevin.

1124
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:45,700
Look, I'm not one for speeches, but I
would like to say that... He thanks you,

1125
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:48,160
and I do too, more than you can ever
know.

1126
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:50,940
Thank you all very, very much.

1127
01:30:51,340 --> 01:30:52,340
You're welcome.

1128
01:30:52,740 --> 01:30:56,840
Well, it gave me a chance to meet the
captain, take a helicopter ride.

1129
01:30:58,060 --> 01:30:59,960
Well, if you give me a chance, I'll
teach you to fly.

1130
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:02,220
Let's not get carried away.

1131
01:31:02,500 --> 01:31:06,700
Oh, that reminds me, Paul. We have a
plane to catch. I take it you are not

1132
01:31:06,700 --> 01:31:07,438
with us.

1133
01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:10,380
Actually, Terry has offered to drive me
home.

1134
01:31:10,860 --> 01:31:14,060
Oh, that's a long drive. It is, isn't
it?

1135
01:31:14,820 --> 01:31:17,140
So don't expect to call for a few days.

1136
01:31:17,460 --> 01:31:18,460
Bye.

1137
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:22,660
You know, Perry, that's not a bad idea.

1138
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,860
Taking a long, leisurely drive home.

1139
01:31:26,780 --> 01:31:29,320
I'll even drive if you will trust me not
to get lost.

1140
01:31:30,100 --> 01:31:31,720
I have a better idea.

1141
01:31:31,980 --> 01:31:34,080
You mean you would take the train?

1142
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:36,120
No.

1143
01:31:36,480 --> 01:31:37,580
I want to...
