High Crimes Page #6

Why not?

I know you have resources.

Resources?

You keep saying it is not your

job.

Good, I wasn't sure you were

listening.

Well, agent Mullins whose job

is it?

Come on! Whose job?

What a pain in the ass you are.

Hernandez was injured in the

explosion.

There has got to be a

classified medical record.

Hey, Charlie, it's me.

How are you, Mac?

I've been checking out rumours

of how those witnesses really

die.

I've been all over the place.

I've got expenses.

This is going to cost you.

You told me that.

I found the wife of the one who

is murdered.

She is living in Mexico.

And she swears,

military killed her husband.

Just inside.

Have you heard from Charlie?

He called about an hour ago.

But we was like really weird,

he can't speak on the phone.

Well, like Charlie, I don't

want to talk on the phone.

He did say he was in Mexico.

In Mexico?

What is he doing in Mexico?

Yeah, but I want to stop on

Los Angeles first.

Alright.

So I'll see you.

General.

You all have had him all night

and it's my turn.

Shall we?

We uncovered the real reason

you send detachment 27 to

Las Calinas.

Uncovered? It's a matter of

public record.

Well, not really.

What is a matter of record is

Hernandez sustained his eye

injury in a bombing at Montezo.

Eyewitnesses placed him in the

truck which the bomb was thrown.

And he had that injury treated

at the hospital in San Salvador.

The gung-ho raid,

was decoy for your bombing.

This fairy tale of yours would

have to be based on classified

material.

Even any of it is possible.

And you're bluffing.

And you're doing it badly.

We be only too happy to have

you testify on the court to

fully explore our evidence.

For example classified document

dated 3.1 4.88.

Hernandez's medical report,

for shrapnel wound,

Santa Maria hospital.

That is the same day and mighty

close to Montezo.

You have no shame.

Look at what you are willing to

do, to free a murderer.

Call the right people, I want

the charges drop and documents...

Have you notice that,

you've been unlucky lately?

Caution might be the order of

the day for you.

I'm not afraid of you.

I've already survived you once,

you smug son of a b*tch.

The real question is will you

survive me?

Make it got away,

or the document goes public.

For both our sakes, sir.

Pull over, right here.

Jackie?

Jackie!

Madam.

Claire! You alright?

Yeah.

What the hell is that all

about?

Colonel Farrell wants us to be

in court tomorrow at 0800.

Waldron was disqualified from

the case for talking to the

press.

Any word from Charlie?

I'm trying on his cell all day,

but just getting the voice mail.

We still have Hernandez's

medical report.

I'll do my best.

Farrell wouldn't admit

classified document anymore than

he would has with the tape.

Maybe we should take the deal.

There is no more deal.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you spend the night

out.

I don't know if it is a good

idea to be around here tonight.

I ....

need a little time on my own.

You looking for Charlie?

No.

What's going on, Honey?

I don't know.

All arise.

Be sitted.

Major Waldron, Mrs. Kubik please approach.

What the hell is this?

For reason of national

security.

The department of defense

determine to withdraw the charges

against Chatman.

Court is close!

Sergeant Chatman,

you're free to go.

Oh, my God.

Let's get out of here.

Hey, Charlie, listen in case

you are interested pal, we won.

We are going to the Marane,

a while from this town.

If you ever want to call me,

there is where we'll be.

Hope you're ok.

Jesus, look at this.

What do you suggest I do?

Have Jackie met us on the next

block with our car.

Will there be more of them at

the airport?

Probably.

Why do we need to bother?

Let's just drive.

That's everything.

You take care of yourself.

You too.

Thanks Jack.

Well, kid?

Well?

-Old man.

We're okay.

-Take care.

Thank you so much.

Thank you Lieutenant.

We are gonna to take our time.

So we'll call you when we get

there.

Probably around 7.

Good bye.

-Good bye.

A week before he was murdered,

he started calling an old marine

corps buddy.

Who incidentally was killed

about two months after Paul's.

I don't know what they talk

about but it really upset him.

You have no idea what it is

like to see somebody you love

killed right in front of you.

And you believe that this is

connected to the military?

Yeah.

It's just a feeling,

cause all women?

you know..

He just seem to recognize them,

the thing he did with hands.

Paul seems to know who he was.

You think that they are still

around here?

You know one thing that bother

me more than everything?

I couldn't protect you.

I just stand by and let them

hurt you.

We need some more champagne.

I love you.

I love you.

I thought, you unplugged that.

I did but I tried Charlie one

more time.

Hi, Claire, it's me.

Sweetheart I'm sorry.

I'll be right back.

-I'm sorry I wasn't there today.

I let you down.

Yeah, Charlie.

-Hi.

I'm real sorry.

I just, I couldn't get there.

Why is it Charlie? Of all days.

What if Marks opt to testify or

what?

You know what,

I don't want to talk about it.

I thought I had a friend.

I am your friend.

Sure you are.

Just say a toast for my husband

while you drink yourself silly.

Good bye Charlie.

-Listen.

I am your friend.

I was being your friend today,

more that you care to know.

What do you mean?

We need to talk.

I just do not think that now is

the good time for it.

Where are you going?

I think this AA's meeting

should be anonymous.

I'm going to get some more

champagne.

Okay, hurry back.

Are Marks and Hernandez

going to give us trouble?

Is Tom still there?

No, he's going to the stall.

Alright, get your computer,

hold up your calendar.

Find out where your husband

was on 20 Jan 1997.

Why are you doing this Charlie?

Look it up, it's important.

Tom is in Santa Fe.

He met a collector.

I pick him up from the airport.

Houston, Texas.

Claire listen to me.

Those are the dates that

witnesses were murdered.

Stampson was murdered on

January 20th 1997 at Santa Fe.

Alan died in Houston Texas,

February 10th.

didn't Hernandez said that Tom

tossed his gun back and forth,

taunting his victim?

Yeah.

Stampson's wife say the man

shot her husband, then toss the

gun back and forth showing off,

before shooting him again.

I can't talk about this right

now.

Sure.

I'm sorry.

I just thought to let you know.

Alright, gotta go.

I thought you went to the

store.

I grabbed the wrong keys.

Those are the right keys.

Those are Jack's keys.

What were you working on there?

-Nothing.

You want to ran out with me to

get some champagne?

I'm not really in the mood for

champagne.

Tom!

-I'm sorry.

We'll just talk then.

Talk about what?

About what you are talking

about on the phone.

You think I'm stupid?

Why didn't you come to me and

talk about it?

You must like to keep your

secret...

Your life is one big secret.
