The Glass Shield Page #4

- We enjoyed each other's company,

- I see,

- We were married for 20 years,

- Mm-hm,

I loved my wife,

You testified that on September 7,

Teddy Woods shot your wife

from your side of the car,

How is it, sir, that the bullet

traveled from a lower angle?

He would've had to have been

on his knees with the car door open

- for that to happen,

- I don't know,,,

I am not done with

the questioning here, Mr, Greenspan,

You said that a man approached

your wife on the passenger side,

and the shooter

stuck a gun to your head,

And when your wife refused

to surrender her purse,

the shooter then turned his gun

and shot your wife in the head,

Now, how could that happen

and you not sustain any hearing damage?

You had no powder burns on your shirt,

Objection!

Let him answer the question,

Sustained, Mr, Locket,

you're badgering the witness,

This is all very curious to me,

And frankly, I'm puzzled,

Well, l-I had no damage to my ear,

and I wasn't checked for powder traces,

Mr, Greenspan,

if I put a gun to your head

and then turn and shoot your wife,

how could the bullet travel

at an upward angle?

Objection! Mr, Greenspan

is not an expert in ballistics,

Sustained,

Mr, Locket, if you continue in this line,

I will hold you in contempt,

I'm trying to establish here,

with all the evidence at hand,

- that this man is probably lying!

- Objection! Move to strike,

Sustained, The jury

will disregard the last statement,

Thank you, Your Honor,

Why do you always have to

carry your gun?

'Cause I'm always on duty,

- You've changed,

- Look, don't start that again, please,

Please,

Why are you trying

to look older, tougher?

'Cause I am older,

Wiser, too,

You know, you might have to

kill someone in the line of duty,

Damn! I'm a peace officer,

Why can't we ever have a conversation

without my job coming up?

OK?

- OK,

- Thank you,

- Looking good, Ryan,

- Thank you, sir,

Deputy Fields,

you do not impress anybody

with the amount of words

that you use in your report,

It's not supposed to

look like a personal diary,

Yes, sir,

- How are you, Deputy Bono?

- Very good, sir,

- Looking good, Hold your stomach in,

- Thank you, sir,

Mr, Johnson, I understand that

you will be off probation soon,

Your work has improved,

There will be a final review,

so get everything together,

- I'm very proud of you,

- Yes, sir,

Thank you, sir,

Have a nice day,

Yeah, you do the same,

- Troop,

- Hey,

- You shoot somebody?

- In a way,

You did or you didn't?

The, uh, serial number on the gun

I picked up with Teddy Woods

has been changed

on my arrest report,

- Damn,

- Why would somebody do that?

Because Teddy Woods

is a perfect suspect,

Because nobody's gonna give a hoot

or holler if Teddy Woods is put to death,

- He's got to be guilty, He's got to be guilty,

- Why does he got to be guilty?

'Cause I,,,

I lied about his arrest,

- We had no reason to pick him up,

- J, J,!

Hey, Foster, This the cell

where Ernie Marshall hung himself?

Yeah,

How can a man hang himself

in one of these cells?

- Give anybody enough rope, J, J,

- What?

J, J,, don't go stickin'

your nose into anything,

I'm gonna tell you somethin',

There are some decent deputies here,

but don't go looking into a loaded gun,

I hope you understand

what I'm sayin',

If you know anything, just keep

your mouth shut, No more questions,

- You never told anybody?

- There is no one to tell,

Don't you understand?

A councilperson's wife gets

picked up for shoplifting,

A prominent citizen

involved in a hit-and-run,

No investigations,

no charges,

A state senator can't stop

pickin' up young boys,

No charges,

But they pay,

And you multiply that

by days and nights,

and you'll understand

what kind of a dark hole this place is,

- But everybody's not corrupt,

- Everybody makes mistakes!

- Jane?

- Yeah?

That was your sister,

She wants you to call her back,

Oh, All right,

You wanna come get him?

I think he's wet,

I'll take over,

Oh, come here,

Well, you know,

she probably wants to know

if we've decided to

go with them on the cruise,

What do you think?

You know, that's a hell of a lot

of money and trouble

to end up on a boat with a bunch of people

that you don't really care a lot about,

It's not a bunch of people,

It's just family, Hm?

Let's go get you taken care of, huh?

We get you

a new diaper, huh?

Get rid of that wet one,

I still haven't found the registration,

Make yourself at home,

OK, thank you,

Take your time,

I'd rather not ask the police

for it if I can help it,

Whoo!

If it's not in here,

I don't know where it is,

Juan, una cita

el 18 de este mes.

Dispense.

When you get a moment, please,

- Yeah, I got your message,

- We'll talk about it,

All right,

Well, gentlemen, we almost shot

ourselves in the foot with this one,

Look, a nine-millimeter

is a very, very common pistol,

In fact, it'd be very difficult

to tell which gun is which

without close examination

of the serial number,

Excuse me,

Mr, Sears is on line two,

- Westgate Life Insurance,

- Thank you, Joyce,

With the Ernie Marshall case

and the Cruz case,,,

Hello?

Yes, Mr, Sears,

Thank you for calling me back,

I appreciate that,

Yes, sir,

Mr, Greenspan's

the sole beneficiary?

Well, now, sir,

wait a minute,

There is a possibility that someone in the

sheriff's department is involved in all this,

Do you understand

what I'm saying to you? Mm-hm,

Very well,

Yes, we'll talk again,

Thanks for calling,

I,,, It,,,

You know, you give 'em

a chance to smell a rat,

and they all begin to dig with

picks and shovels - it's amazing,

I think Officer Johnson is

the one who tipped us on this,

Well, then, James, we're just gonna have

to bring him back to the witness stand,

Carmen, you'll put

that man's life in danger,

So be it,

Life is about making hard choices,

Mr, Taylor,

the bullet that killed Mrs, Greenspan

came from this gun,

Teddy Woods said

he stole your gun,

This is the weapon said to be

in his possession when he was arrested,

- This your gun?

- It looks like mine,

- But is it your gun?

- I'll have to check the serial number,

This is not my gun,

The gun I bought has a different number,

- And what's in your hand, sir?

- This is my original registration,

May I see it, please?

Thank you,

This is his original registration,

It does not match this gun,

Folks, this is not his gun,

I would like to admit

this gun registration into evidence,

Very well, Mr, Locket,

Any objection, Mr, Kern?

Mr, Taylor, this, then,

obviously is not your gun,

But let's not be confused,

This is the murder weapon

that Teddy Woods was picked up with,

No further questions,

I checked every hit-and-run case

from five years before Marshall's death,

- Nothing,

- You may be reading too much into Foster,

No! Foster was saying

that somebody in the department

was blackmailing somebody

on the city council,

So what if we find something?
