The Glass Shield Page #5

What do we do?

- Hey,

- Hey,

What time?

What do you think the deal is

with Johnson and Fields?

Hanky-panky, I caught 'em back there

acting pretty suspicious,

I'd better not catch 'em,

I would like to call

Mr, Greenspan to the stand,

Mr, Greenspan has

suffered a great loss,

Would Mr, Greenspan

please take the stand?

You are still under oath,

Mr, Greenspan,

Mr, Greenspan,

did you know anyone

working at the Edgemar Station

before your wife was murdered?

No, I didn't,

You never met

Deputies Baker or Hall?

Your Honor, I believe

Mr, Greenspan answered that,

Mr, Locket, Mr, Greenspan

answered the question,

I want it on record

that he includes Deputies Hall and Baker,

That will be all, Mr, Greenspan,

Thank you,

The court will recess

until after lunch, which will be 2:30,

Mr, Greenspan, I'm George Beaten

and this is Robert Hill,

We're both from

Westgate Life Insurance,

Can we have a moment?

We can order lunch,

- This isn't a good time,

- It would help our investigation,

- What investigation?

- We look into large death benefit claims,

Well, your company indicated

everything was satisfactory,

In cases involving murder, Mr, Greenspan,

nothing is totally satisfactory,

I'll be glad to talk with you, so long

as my lawyer is present, Thank you,

- What happened?

- I don't know,

Well, why don't you find out and fix it?

You got this subpoena, just like I did,

That oughta tell you something,

Jesse, you can't go into court

looking like this,

Oh, I'II,,, I'll spruce

myself up, you know,

Pinch my cheeks,

take in a bottle of Geritol,

I hope you last that long,

Fix it,

Officer is requesting assistance

on a California license plate 3ACU,,,

Roger, we copy request...

Driver, step out of the car!

Hey! Driver, step out of the car!

- Oh, man, get down!

- Let's go, let's go!

- You were lucky you had this on,

- My girlfriend made me wear it,

- How many rounds you get off?

- Uh...

About a load and a half,

We need to know

the exact number of bullets,

We'll take some x-rays, make sure the

impact didn't cause any internal damage,

I know it hurts,

It's like getting hit with a bat,

Just hang in there, man,

Hold on,

You're doin' fine, man,

- It's all right,

- I'll put down 18,

Death was caused

by repeated blows to the head,

Face and hands

burnt with acid solution,

making identification impossible,

except with dental records,

John Doe, white male,

aged 50 to 55,

How is it that Deputy Johnson made

a mistake on the serial number of the gun?

Deputy Johnson constantly

makes error after error,

- Look at these work sheets,

- Oh, OK, good, That's good,

How is it possible that the gun

that the department had in its possession

was used to murder Mrs, Greenspan?

All right, we're investigating

several people within the department,

For example, trustees who may have had

a special relationship with Teddy Woods,

What about the rumors that some of your

officers are prone to excessive violence?

Ira, I can simply say,

this department operates within the law,

No, No, Clarence,

That,,, that is not a good answer,

Well, give me a better one,

Look, when we get

into the courtroom, we are a team,

OK, Now everything from here on out

is off the record, all right?

Why do you say

you don't make mistakes?

'Cause Watch Commander Massey

is always on my case,

I check every arrest report

several times before I file it,

If you look at my reports, all of 'em

except for the Teddy Woods report,

you'll see that they're very clear,

That will contradict Massey,

of course,

Sears is on line one,

Excuse me,

Hello,

Hello,

- Which line is it?

- Line one,

- You are a very lucky young man,

- Hello,

- I don't feel so lucky,

- Greenspan is missing?

That's bad news,

That is very bad news,

Why didn't you, Mr, Kern,

inform me that Greenspan was missing?

- No one knew that he was missing,

- I was talking to Mr, Kern here,

You have a bad habit

of hiding information from us,

The body that was found

is Mr, Greenspan?

That's correct, Your Honor,

Please don't smoke, sir,

Westgate Life Insurance

had been investigating Greenspan

for trying to hire someone

to kill his wife,

Mr, Greenspan was having

an affair for many years,

- Having a mistress isn't against the law,

- It is in my book,

What?

Uh, this case should now

be under the jurisdiction of the FBI,

- Mr, Williams fled the state to avoid,,,

- Give it to me,

I'll look after it,

You know it's the old man's

birthday comin' up,

Yeah, I got something picked out,

Here he comes,

How can a man

abuse his own child?

Or any child?

Any news on the gun

that was used on Johnson?

Yeah, it's clean,

So's the car,

- You heard about Greenspan?

- Yeah, it was in all the newspapers,

What kind of a man was he?

- What, Greenspan?

- Greenspan, yes,

Like any victim,

My wife,,,

Watch his head,

Stop trying to talk, Just be quiet,

- Somebody get some water!

- Call the hospital!

- Jesus God, he stopped breathing,

- No pulse,

- Is he taking any medication?

- Yes, it's in his drawer there,

Call a paramedic!

They're on the way,

One, two, three,

four, five...

One, two, three, four, five,

Gilmore, get over here,

- One, two, three,,,

- Come on, Jesse,

- ,,, four, five,,,

- Breathe!

- Gene,

- C'mon, Jesse, C'mon, Jesse,

Come on, Pops, breathe,

- Gene,

- Yeah?

Gene,

He's gone,

Will someone go out,,,

lower the flag?

Hey, sarge,

What you doin' back there?

Budget cuts, J, J,

They got me fillin' in again,

Why's the flag at half-mast?

Hall died,

Well, that's too bad,

That depends,

Come on, man, I thought you guys

were gonna push me down there!

- It'll be the first time you hit the pins,

- Oh, right, thanks a lot,

Hey, I got three to pick up,

Where you goin'?

- Come on, fellas!

- Pick 'em up, Gilmore,

Easy spare,

Roll her up,

Why weren't you at Hall's funeral?

- I had a bad case of diarrhea,

- Diarrhea, my ass,

- What's the problem?

- Murder!

Don't make accusations

you can't prove,

You guys are turning this place

into a bloodbath,

- Those people were scum!

- You think we're any better than they are?

You're damn right!

You don't want to be an outsider,

Maybe I do,

Puttin' in a little overtime, Fields?

You know, all our files

are public property,

All you have to do is ask,

This is an account of

a criminal case that went nowhere,

What,,,

Uh, "The witness states that the defendant

is not the one she'd originally I, D,'d,"

She thought she'd identified

the driver in a lineup,

But the man on trial

was not the same man,

The only thing she remembered about

the original suspect was his license plate:

"L-T-S-G-T-11,"

The whole case

got thrown out of court,

But the hit-and-run driver in the lineup

must have been booked and fingerprinted,

Chuck was the officer on the scene,

And his original report

would be in storage,

Who says detective work is hard?

- The natives are restless,

- We received information
