Smoke Screen Page #8

---

640

00:
47:04,121 -- 00:47:05,884

Not his, probably mine.

641

00:
47:07,691 -- 00:47:11,718

The fact someone knows I'm looking

for the Jones file and tried to kill me...

642

00:
47:11,895 -- 00:47:13,419

...means we're getting close.

643

00:
47:13,597 -- 00:47:16,862

Those guys after you

think you're dead. Works in our favor.

644

00:
47:17,034 -- 00:47:19,901

Gotta be another way

to figure out what's in that file.

645

00:
47:21,672 -- 00:47:23,572

It's okay.

646

00:
47:25,509 -- 00:47:27,500

I'm sorry. I'm--

647

00:
47:30,247 -- 00:47:31,874

I....

648

00:
47:32,216 -- 00:47:34,844

I just need a minute.

649

00:
48:39,249 -- 00:48:40,739

Britt?

650

00:
48:44,554 -- 00:48:45,987

Britt?

651

00:
49:43,680 -- 00:49:45,648

-Hey, Raley?

-Yeah?

652

00:
49:50,253 -- 00:49:52,084

Less menacing?

653

00:
49:53,590 -- 00:49:55,023

What?

654

00:
49:55,192 -- 00:49:56,819

You going somewhere?

655

00:
49:56,994 -- 00:49:59,053

Yeah, Jay's funeral.

656

00:
50:01,331 -- 00:50:04,664

Well, I was thinking we've been going

about this the wrong way.

657

00:
50:05,135 -- 00:50:06,159

What do you mean?

658

00:
50:06,336 -- 00:50:09,737

There must be someone who knows

what was going on with Cleveland.

659

00:
50:09,906 -- 00:50:12,238

He must have been close

to somebody.

660

00:
50:37,401 -- 00:50:39,596

So why don't you let me

ask the questions?

661

00:
50:39,770 -- 00:50:40,794

Why?

662

00:
50:40,971 -- 00:50:44,805

You're sure he'll open up if you

woo him with your wily feminine ways?

663

00:
50:44,975 -- 00:50:49,537

No, I'm a good reporter and collecting

information is what I do for a living.

664

00:
50:49,713 -- 00:50:52,944

Thank you so much for that

backhanded, sexist non-compliment.

665

00:
50:58,088 -- 00:50:59,146

Can't you read?

666

00:
50:59,322 -- 00:51:01,483

Mr. Jones,

you probably don't remember me.

667

00:
51:01,658 -- 00:51:05,185

Met years ago. I was investigating

the fire that killed your son.

668

00:
51:05,362 -- 00:51:06,795

I remember you.

669

00:
51:07,364 -- 00:51:10,356

Like I said then, he set it, he died...

670

00:
51:10,534 -- 00:51:14,561

...and sometimes justice

has a way of taking care of itself.

671

00:
51:14,971 -- 00:51:18,964

-We're not sure that's what happened.

-Either way, the boy died.

672

00:
51:19,376 -- 00:51:21,071

We're not sure that he had to.

673

00:
51:25,415 -- 00:51:27,906

I'm Britt Shelley, news reporter.

674

00:
51:28,085 -- 00:51:29,814

I know who you are.

675

00:
51:29,986 -- 00:51:31,977

I got a TV.

676

00:
51:32,155 -- 00:51:36,615

Right now it's telling me you're the one

that killed that hero policeman.

677

00:
51:36,793 -- 00:51:38,886

All the more reason

I need your help.

678

00:
51:39,229 -- 00:51:41,857

I believe someone's trying

to frame me for murder.

679

00:
51:42,032 -- 00:51:45,058

They think I know a secret

about your son's death.

680

00:
51:45,235 -- 00:51:48,227

Send me away and neither of us

will find out what it is.

681

00:
51:52,943 -- 00:51:56,037

It can't be easy. Losing a child.

682

00:
51:56,213 -- 00:51:58,841

Cleveland was no child.

683

00:
51:59,249 -- 00:52:03,345

I couldn't keep up with all the times

that boy was in and out of jail.

684

00:
52:03,520 -- 00:52:05,385

Rape, robbery.

685

00:
52:05,555 -- 00:52:08,752

Pretty sure

he had his very own personal cell.

686

00:
52:09,659 -- 00:52:14,119

Last time I saw him I told him

I wasn't gonna bail him out no more.

687

00:
52:14,297 -- 00:52:18,495

Next thing I get a call from the police

telling me he was dead.

688

00:
52:20,437 -- 00:52:22,701

What was the name

of the officer who called?

689

00:
52:22,873 -- 00:52:24,568

I don't remember.

690

00:
52:24,741 -- 00:52:27,175

You must have been in shock.

691

00:
52:27,577 -- 00:52:29,238

Not really.

692

00:
52:30,046 -- 00:52:32,173

Sure wish I got back the lighter,

though.

693

00:
52:32,349 -- 00:52:35,614

Cleveland really loved that thing.

694

00:
52:36,052 -- 00:52:38,111

-The lighter?

-Yeah.

695

00:
52:38,288 -- 00:52:40,256

My daddy bought it for him.

696

00:
52:40,423 -- 00:52:42,391

It had this....

697

00:
52:42,559 -- 00:52:48,156

This picture on it of a half-naked girl,

she was, like, wearing a....

698

00:
52:48,331 -- 00:52:50,799

What was it? A red bikini.

699

00:
52:52,602 -- 00:52:57,369

Every time Cleveland saw that thing

he would-- He would laugh.

700

00:
52:57,541 -- 00:53:00,101

Didn't come back with his stuff,

though.

701

00:
53:01,378 -- 00:53:05,781

I asked the cops about it

and they said they never saw it.

702

00:
53:07,984 -- 00:53:11,647

The day that your son died,

he was arrested.

703

00:
53:11,821 -- 00:53:12,947

Do you know what for?

704

00:
53:14,291 -- 00:53:16,122

I don't know.

705

00:
53:16,459 -- 00:53:19,690

He used to like to hang out

with his loser friends...

706

00:
53:19,863 -- 00:53:22,696

...down in Hampton Parkway.

707

00:
53:23,133 -- 00:53:27,263

I wouldn't be surprised

if they got him defacing property.

708

00:
53:27,771 -- 00:53:31,764

-What about the skull fracture?

-What?

709

00:
53:33,677 -- 00:53:36,202

Skull fracture. Didn't they tell you?

710

00:
53:46,122 -- 00:53:50,149

So the question is, how did Cleveland

get the skull fracture?

711

00:
53:50,327 -- 00:53:52,921

Why didn't the cops tell his father?

712

00:
53:53,430 -- 00:53:54,624

Who interrogated him?

713

00:
53:55,232 -- 00:53:56,426

Jay, George and Pat.

714

00:
53:56,600 -- 00:53:59,262

They claimed he was fine

when he left the room.

715

00:
53:59,436 -- 00:54:02,166

The next thing they know

the station was on fire.

716

00:
54:02,839 -- 00:54:04,067

Well, Jay's dead.

717

00:
54:04,241 -- 00:54:07,472

Pat Wickham died a couple

months ago, that leaves George.

718

00:
54:07,644 -- 00:54:09,339

Most likely suspect.

719

00:
54:09,512 -- 00:54:11,446

How'd he know

Jay was gonna come clean?

720

00:
54:11,615 -- 00:54:14,516

Well, I'll be sure to ask him.

I gotta get going.

721

00:
54:16,419 -- 00:54:18,683

Hey, I'm gonna do a little research.

722

00:
54:18,855 -- 00:54:21,153

I saw a computer in the motel office.

723

00:
54:21,858 -- 00:54:23,655

Are you kidding?

724

00:
54:24,427 -- 00:54:26,691

You're not going.

There's a warrant out.

725

00:
54:26,863 -- 00:54:29,627

The last thing you need to be doing

is hanging out.

726

00:
54:29,799 -- 00:54:32,859

So? You want me to sit here

and watch television all day?

727

00:
54:33,036 -- 00:54:35,334

That's why we got a room

with cable.

728

00:
54:52,922 -- 00:54:56,526

Can you clear my schedule?

I've decided to go to Jay's funeral.

729

00:
55:13,476 -- 00:55:17,037

Left, left, left.

730

00:
55:17,213 -- 00:55:20,376

God bless

and peace be with all of you.

731

00:
55:25,255 -- 00:55:27,689

Thank you.

It was a beautiful service.

732

00:
55:28,725 -- 00:55:31,319

-Miss you around the station.

-Thanks for coming.

733

00:
55:31,494 -- 00:55:33,894
