how scare they are.

What do you think, Embry?

I think why me, why I was

assigned to this case.

them said he did it.

But only two of these

eyewitnesses are on their list.

What happened to the other

five?

dead.

All of them?

dead how?

Two were killed in combat.

One was murdered,

and the other two accidents.

Accidents?

I know a couple of P.I.s, ex-Green Berets.

Not very ethical, but maybe

they can give us the unofficial

version of their death.

Could be useful.

Here we go. Troy Abbott,

Sacramento, California.

doing 4 to 6 for arm robbery.

Waldron's office is trying to

extradite his parol.

Why am I certain he is going to

succeed?

'Cause it's the marine corps.

Be all you can be.

That's charming.

I think maybe Hernandez acting

alone.

No one is gonna believe

General Marks was in this.

In other words,

you don't believe it.

That is not my point.

do you believe Tom or not?

Easy, he is just expressing his

opinion.

Isn't there something you

should be doing some where else?

Not really.

Can I get you another coffee?

No, madam, I'm good.

I have to agree with Embry.

Guy like Marks smells, looks,

tastes creditable.

Put him on the stands, he'll

just give Hernandez credibility.

Right, that's what I'm saying.

Well, the young man has an

original thought.

You know what?

What?

-Is that my phone?

No.

-Go to hell.

Another one.

Yes I'll hold for Major

Waldron.

Hello, Major.

We'll be there.

I can't believe it.

They want a deal.

I love being a wild card.

Voluntary manslaughter is only

one specification,

and only 5 years.

Plus one condition you sign a

non-disclosure agreement.

As your council I?

Tell the man to take the deal

of the century.

Sweetheart.

-Honey.

I won't do 5 minutes for the

crime I didn't commit.

do you have any idea any of

you?

do you have any idea what it's

like to spend 23 hours a day in

a 6 by 8 cell?

dead long before that.

Motion denied.

Come on in.

Based on our conversation?

We here to tell you we're gonna

pass.

Thanks anyway.

Personally I'm quite happy to

go to trial with this case.

There's a lot of interest

in putting this behind us.

They work for everyone.

Command and your husband.

And Major Hernandez and

General Marks.

See you in court, sir.

So, no deal.

Can you believe I ask my

husband to do 5 years in prison?

Go ahead?

tell me what a waste of

oxygen all lawyers are.

You are curiously quiet on the

subject.

Jackie, would you please turn

that down? I mean come on?

Your husband came to my village

and killed my family.

And it's true.

Lawyers are a waste of oxygen.

drop this deal.

He went out!

Claire, are you okay?

Bastard!

It's Hernandez.

We turn down their deal and

they try to scare us.

You don't know how this people

work.

I don't know how any of those

work.

What do you mean?

This ther life of your.

You don't believe me do you?

Of course I believe you.

I'll take a polygraf.

It's not even admissible in

court.

To hell with the court.

I want to do it for us.

Hey, Ron.

Or Tommy, or whatever it is?

I just come here to help.

What are you doing here?

You ought to plea this out.

Major, no!

Stop!

Hold on!

Who let Major Hernandez in

here?

He is not suppose to be in

here.

He is provoking my client.

Who is in charge?

Who let him in here?

He is not suppose to be in

here.

Major Hernandez says he is a

defense witness.

He is not a witness for the

defense!

Who is in charge?

I want to talk to whoever is in charge!

Is your real name Ron Chatman?

Yes.

Yes.

did you participate in the

death of anyone in 15-3-1988?

You passed.

Of course I passed.

Are we being monitored?

No.

It absolutely secured.

Absolutely secured?

What do you mean?

What do you think I mean?

And Lieutenant Colonel?

Were there any eyewitnesses to

this massacre?

Yes.

We have 7 eyewitnesses'

statements.

All saying Ron is the shooter.

Thank you.

Nothing further, your honour.

You were and still are special

agent in charge of this

criminal investigation?

That's correct.

So, when you said the

investigation were not flawed,

you basically were giving

yourself a big thumb up.

I am just expressing my

opinion.

So help you God, no doubt.

Is it possible that this

witnesses were coached before

you got your hands on them?

I guess it is possible.

But unlikely.

And are you aware that 2 of the

witnesses were subsequently

killed in combat?

Yes, I'm aware of that.

And another 3 relatively young

men have die as well?

Yes.

That was Lieutenant Alan,

hit and run.

Sergeant Spencer,

accidental drowning.

And the other the unfortunate

mountain climbing fall.

That sounds right.

-does it?

That is interesting.

I just made up those causes of

death.

I mean there were no

accidental drowning,

no mountain climbing fall.

I do have the details about

these tragic deaths.

Including a fatal home invasion

robbery. Look at them.

I'm a little fuzzy on the

details.

I wasn't in charge in those

investigations.

No further question.

My investigation was strictly..

-No further question.

Hello?

-Claire, it's Charlie.

You know the witness in Tom's

unit that was murdered?

Yeah, home invasion robbery.

He was killed right in front of

his wife.

And she accused that the

military had involved.

Will she talk to us?

The problem is, she disappear

right after that.

Is this a bad time?

-No.

I was thinking we could go over

to Hernandez's cross.

I was just taking a break.

Going over Hernandez's stuff

myself.

Please don't be mad.

It wasn't him, it was all me.

This doesn't affect anything,

okay?

My work 'm totally up for it.

Yes. We were just going over

his briefs.

You never can take anything

seriously, can you?

Nothing! Ever!

-Oh, yeah. That's right.

You got to be a lawyer,

I got to bang one, right?

We are closed.

Closed.

We are closed.

Excuse me, can you tell me how

to get to Strick street?

Sure, 2 blocks down.

Thank you.

Want some cheese?

Yeah. I can make an omelette.

I'll make one.

You want Cheddar, American,

Swiss.

Cheddar is good.

Mrs. Chatman.

It's Kubik.

Okay, Mrs. Kubik.

I wanna tell you what I do for

my living.

This sicko bothering you?

'Cause I know how to handle this

kind of weirdo.

I teach guy to beat the

box.

Who are you?

I teach anyone how to beat the

polygraf.

Like special operation

personnel.

I teach people how to create a

new persona.

That way when they lie,

they're not really lying.

Why are you telling me this?

I don't know.

But my guess is you do.

Who are you, who send you?

I was asked to convey this

message to you.

Good night Mrs. Kubik.

Get out of here.

Is it true?

What?

That you get that kind of

training?

To beat the box.

What are you talking about?

The polygraf , Tom.

Sure.

But I didn't beat the box.

I told the truth.

Why didn't you tell me you

could do that?

It doesn't occurred to me.

That's not part of who I am

anymore.

That's it, isn't it?

How do I know who you are?
