High Crimes Page #4

You the only one who knows who

I am.

I don't care anymore.

I did it.

I shot them all.

For fun, why not?

Who the hell cares, Claire?

The man you've been waking up

to just love to kill women and

children.

In cold blood.

Who the hell knows why, Claire?

Am I making any sense?

do what I'm saying make any

sense to you?

No.

I'm scared.

You know me more than

that.

Tell me how do they know,

Charlie?

How do they know?

Good question.

It's been ages.

You come for the leftovers?

No, just want to look at your

trash.

What's the problem?

Take it easy.

Hold him.

I just don't believe it.

I refused.

The truth is less fun than the

truth.

Tell me that you never do that.

You're screwing him,

that means you know him?

Excuse me, Mrs. Ron Chatman.

What happened?

You got lot of explaining to

do.

You alright? Who did this?

Some of the old gang down the

club.

Same group that know every move

we made.

What are you talking about?

I didn't know about the

polygraf.

Were you drinking with them?

Every Friday, everybody drinks,

we don't talk about cases.

Charlie you know what it's

like.

Claire you can understand.

I understand you're fired.

What?

Listen, this case will be over

and you'll be gone.

But I'll still be here.

did you know about this?

What?

did you know the attack on me

and Claire?

Or is this just a coincidence?

You seriously think I would do

this?

What do you say we go to the

hospital?

I am worry about your ribs.

Just give me some ice.

I won't be there for Hernandez.

I got word Troy Abbott got his

parol.

I gotta go track him down.

I was kinda sick.

Chatman taunted the victim.

He tossed his gun around like

a cowboy.

Kind of showing off.

And then he executed them.

Please continue.

I ran to the south end of the

village but it was too late.

They were all dead.

And Chatman was still shooting.

me and we got him down.

You said Chatman did some sick

things.

Yet, you allow him to proceed

without any supervision?

I didn't realize he take it

that far.

Had Chatman been cited for this

kind of behaviour before?

No.

Isn't he the most experience

and reliable in the unit?

Before you answer that,

a quote from a report you filed.

defense's exhibit A.

Chatman was a good marine.

Courage, honest.

I thought so.

The kind of marine that will

not go along with a cover up.

Objection.

For you who actually committed

the killing.

Objection!

-Sustained.

Make that your last outburst.

Jury members you are instructed

to disregard that accusation.

How was it possible that 7 men

spread all over a village would

witnessed the exact same thing?

We all got to the barn at the

same time.

How convenience.

doesn't it make more sense that

some of them are order to lie?

They were not ordered to lie.

How did you know?

I would know if something like

that happened to my men.

And if something like that

happened to them, you would tell us?

Of course,

I wouldn't lie about it.

You were train to lie about

your clandestine operation.

As I understand it,

you were trained to be the polygraf.

Is that true you possed that

talent?

I only use it when interrogated

by the enemy.

That's good to know.

So tell me this.

do you consider me a friend?

Hey, I ain't doin' no more.

It's going to be time.

You got that all wrong brother.

It ain't me.

Should I be so lucky.

I'm suppose to deliver this to

Troy Abbott?

That you?

Yeah, who from?

From Jim Hernandez,

down the base.

Hey, Charles.

Grace, what are you doing here?

I got a call from the base.

You got a call?

Yeap.

Bullshit you got this call.

What b*tch, who you raising

that?

Stop! Stop!

Why you always getting into

trouble?

Why you always trying to play

best?

Now apologize to the man.

I ain't going to apologize.

do you want me to apologize,

baby?

Grace is going to apologize

real good.

do you?

You want me to say sorry?

So they parol you?

Yeah. Then they bring me here

to testify.

What really happened that day?

I don't know. It was years ago.

El Salvador some massacre sh*t.

I bet some officers are on it too.

You ain't thirsty?

Yeah, sure.

I'm just, chilling.

What did you say back?

Yeah, what did you say?

Come on tell us.

Come on.

Alright, hey.

What did you say?

That I was no where near the

place.

And they want me to say that I

saw this guy shooting.

You going to do it?

I already did it in my

statement to the CId and I

already testify to what I said.

What CId?

Criminal Investigation division.

What about this poor guy?

We get the poor guy.

I mean what you gonna do?

Your XO comes up and say:

You see Chatman shoot the bad

guy?

You say, no sir, I didn't.

He say be sure about this cause

you career is on the line.

Everybody else say he did it

so I say what they want to hear.

One more witness and there's no

difference.

Right?

Right.

Yes, 10145.

Alright now,

is this an emergency?

There is somebody trying to get

into the house.

Come on.

No, it's ok, I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's a false alarm.

Thanks.

Charlie you scare me to death.

That guy was out there.

What guy?

You've been drinking.

Who me?

Oh my God.,

No, you got it wrong.

See I'm just a victim of this

hazardous working condition.

Sure you are.

No, really!

That man was watching the

house.

No there ain't nobody.

What is this?

Looks like a recorder.

Is that what on here?

Saying he never saw what he

agree to testify to in court.

You didn't?

I most certainly didn't.

You know what?

He was no where near the

shooting.

I mean no where near it.

Charlie, this is fabulous.

This proof they're setting him

up.

Charlie, I....

You really think I wanna give

up 483 days of sobriety?

And start all over from day

one?

I'll make some coffee.

Oh, wait a minute, not so fast.

See I figure,

you already slipped Charlie.

Why not just one more?

How about it Claire?

One for our side.

I can't.

I'm trying to get pregnant.

Oh.

I'm not trying to get pregnant.

I'm certainly not trying to get

pregnant.

You're late council.

Prosecution request to side bar.

Make it good.

Your honour, my next witness

Troy Abbott has disappeared.

What?

He's gone from his room and we

notify the MP

Notify my ass? You let him out jail.

We have a tape that impeached

his original statement.

I don't know anything about

this tape.

What do you mean you don't

know? You got spy all over.

In my chamber everybody.

This court is recess.

All rise.

You see Chatman shoot the bad

guy?

You say, no sir, I didn't.

He say be sure about this cause

you career is on the line.

Everybody else say he did it

so I say what they want to hear.

One more witness and there's no

difference.

Right?

We can't authenticate this

tape.

For all we know he may had been

coerced.

It isn't admissible.

What?

You admitted Abbott's CId

statement.

We need this to rebute it.

This tape clearly exonerate

Ron Chartman.

The CId statement is taken by

an objective party.
