1 00:00:39,630 --> 00:00:42,330 The jury didn't deliberate long at all in the jury box. 2 00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:46,750 Oh, Chief Ironside, now that the trial is over, do you have a statement to make 3 00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:47,750 about the verdict? 4 00:00:47,770 --> 00:00:49,730 There was no verdict. It was a hung jury. 5 00:00:50,230 --> 00:00:52,270 Well, then, would you like to make a comment about that? 6 00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:56,270 I would like to, but I won't. 7 00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:01,910 Well, let's have a word with Mr. Field, the Assistant District Attorney. 8 00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:04,430 Do you plan on proceeding toward a new trial, if I can? 9 00:01:05,290 --> 00:01:06,430 What does that mean, sir? 10 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,100 Our key witness failed to show up. If he can be located, Mr. Kohler will stand 11 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:10,859 trial again. 12 00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:13,420 And if not, sir? I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me. 13 00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:17,460 We'll get a statement from Mr. Rod Ballard, the defense counsel. Mr. 14 00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:19,520 are you satisfied with the outcome of this trial? 15 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Of course not. We should have had an acquittal. 16 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,660 My client defended himself against a violent and unprovoked attack from 17 00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:27,660 Lucci. 18 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,720 Sergeant Lucci's death was accidental. 19 00:01:30,020 --> 00:01:32,860 Well, the assistant DA said he'd gotten a conviction if the key witness hadn't 20 00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:34,340 disappeared. Any comment? 21 00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:38,570 Seems I've heard statements like that before, from the side that fails to 22 00:01:38,570 --> 00:01:41,730 its case. Now, if you'll excuse me. Let's get Mr. Coulter. How about you? Do 23 00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:42,850 feel that you received justice? 24 00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:46,910 Like my lawyer said, I've got a right to defend myself against guys like Lucci. 25 00:01:47,650 --> 00:01:50,270 Do you feel that your trial was handled fairly? That's about all for today. 26 00:01:50,390 --> 00:01:51,390 Thank you. 27 00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:53,090 Lying in his teeth. 28 00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:54,450 Third is liar. 29 00:01:55,770 --> 00:01:57,130 Vicious and unprovoked attack. 30 00:01:57,730 --> 00:01:59,810 That wasn't Dave Lucci, and you know it. 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,580 Colter murdered him. How'd they come to let him walk around? Frank, we have a 32 00:02:03,580 --> 00:02:05,980 witness. We'll find him. Colter will stand trial again. 33 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,900 Sure, and then he'll walk again, just like that. Come on, you know better. 34 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,280 Dave Lucci was my partner. 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,720 You expect me to just stand here and... I expect you to sit down and cool off. 36 00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:18,640 Good old Ed Brown. 37 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,840 Steady Eddie. 38 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,040 Now, it's been a long time since Police Academy. 39 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,120 You haven't changed a bit. 40 00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:29,460 Neither have you. 41 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:32,500 No, I guess not. 42 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,040 You want another beer? 43 00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:39,700 They can drink to you. 44 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,120 Old buddy. 45 00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:40,350 Yeah, now just read me the last paragraph. That's all I need. 46 00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:51,550 The ninth grade of James Madison Junior High would like you to address them on 47 00:03:51,550 --> 00:03:52,990 the subject of law enforcement. 48 00:03:53,330 --> 00:03:54,550 For or against? 49 00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:57,830 I accept. 50 00:03:58,050 --> 00:03:59,650 Okay, got it. Thank you, Bill. 51 00:04:00,670 --> 00:04:02,010 I apply for time off. 52 00:04:02,270 --> 00:04:04,110 I understand you recommend it against him. 53 00:04:04,950 --> 00:04:07,690 That's right. I have some vacation time coming. Not right now. 54 00:04:08,030 --> 00:04:08,809 Can I ask why? 55 00:04:08,810 --> 00:04:12,330 The district attorney's office and the homicide division are both looking for 56 00:04:12,330 --> 00:04:16,010 Nick Walston until they request help. Those officers have 8 ,000 other things 57 00:04:16,010 --> 00:04:21,230 do. Just two weeks of concentrated effort. Nick Walston will be found, at 58 00:04:21,230 --> 00:04:24,870 time there will be a new trial. Meanwhile, you are not going on a one 59 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:29,050 crusade to nail Coulter. Dave was my friend. Which is precisely why you'll 60 00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:30,050 out of it. 61 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,900 Do you think you can work this passionately or objectively on this 62 00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:38,160 No. You've just answered your own question. Now I'm asking you to stay out 63 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,160 it. 64 00:05:07,539 --> 00:05:08,900 Sergeant Carlson, SFPD. 65 00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:13,020 You've got to get my glasses or take your word for it, so I'll take your word 66 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:15,080 for it. I'd like some information about a tenant of yours. 67 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,600 Nick Walston? No wonder taxes are so high. 68 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,100 All that duplication. 69 00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:24,000 I already told everything I know to those other officers. 70 00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:28,420 Mr. Walston was a very good tenant. He always paid his rent on time. He never 71 00:05:28,420 --> 00:05:29,620 gave me anybody any trouble. 72 00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:33,360 When he went away two weeks ago, he didn't tell me where he was going. 73 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,760 Did he say he'd be back? 74 00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:38,050 Well, he didn't tell me to rent his room, so I guess he'll be back. 75 00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:41,890 Anyway, he's paid up till the end of the month. Would it be all right if I 76 00:05:41,890 --> 00:05:44,270 looked over his room? Sure, if you want to. 77 00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:48,270 But the other officers, they've already done that. They practically tore that 78 00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:49,270 room apart. 79 00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:55,750 Well, like you said, I guess there's no sense in going over the same ground 80 00:05:55,750 --> 00:05:56,750 again. 81 00:05:56,830 --> 00:05:59,510 Well, then... What about his friends? 82 00:06:00,450 --> 00:06:01,470 What did he do at night? 83 00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:04,150 I don't know. I didn't watch. 84 00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:09,360 I got a bigger laugh from the others when I said that. 85 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,800 Sorry. Yeah. Well, at any rate, I don't know any of his friends. 86 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,300 Except for one. 87 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,280 And I just met him yesterday. 88 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,040 He came by to pick up a cigarette lighter he said he left in Mr. Walston's 89 00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:26,880 I told him he couldn't take anything out of that room until the police said it 90 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,080 was all right. Did he leave a name? 91 00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:29,580 Yeah. 92 00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:31,600 Logan. Buster Logan. 93 00:06:32,180 --> 00:06:35,440 He gave me his number so I could phone him at work and... 94 00:06:35,710 --> 00:06:37,750 Tell him when it was all right to pick it up. Did you tell the other officers 95 00:06:37,750 --> 00:06:38,429 about this? 96 00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:39,730 It only happened yesterday. 97 00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:47,870 Nick and I used to get together about once a month to put away a few beers, 98 00:06:47,870 --> 00:06:51,350 not as much as we used to because, well, I got married. 99 00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:55,530 But that's why I wanted to get that lighter when I remember where it was, 100 00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:57,590 see, because my old lady gave it to me. 101 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:59,830 Nick seemed worried last time you saw him. 102 00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:01,650 Worried? 103 00:07:01,930 --> 00:07:03,290 Of course he was worried. 104 00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:04,950 Man. 105 00:07:05,340 --> 00:07:08,740 Somebody else's murder rap going to court now?

If there was any threats, I never heard. 109 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,220 Well, listen, did he say anything about a vacation coming up? 110 00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:22,180 Vacation? 111 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,620 Guys like Nick and me don't get vacations unless we get laid off. 112 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,120 Well, what do you think then? 113 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,060 Well, I, uh, I think the same as you. 114 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,160 I can think he got scared about what was coming up and he just took off. 115 00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:41,980 Listen, you've known Walston for a number of years. 116 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,040 If you wanted to run away like that, where would you go? 117 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,900 Anyplace. You mean you won't say? 118 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Now look, if I was to say, you might go and find Nick and bring him back and... 119 00:07:57,660 --> 00:08:00,840 Make him say something or do something he don't want to do.

Let him do it. 194 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,740 Homicide wasn't Dave's partner. 195 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,320 Hello. 196 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,200 Yes. 197 00:12:39,950 --> 00:12:40,950 Guy used to know in the army. 198 00:12:41,490 --> 00:12:42,970 He wants me to have a drink with him. 199 00:12:43,330 --> 00:12:44,330 You mind? 200 00:12:45,130 --> 00:12:46,330 I could use a drink myself. 201 00:12:47,850 --> 00:12:51,270 Well, any other time, I'd be glad to have you join us. 202 00:12:51,970 --> 00:12:53,750 He wants to talk over a personal problem. 203 00:12:55,390 --> 00:12:56,390 Sure. 204 00:12:57,610 --> 00:12:58,610 See you. 205 00:14:32,439 --> 00:14:33,439 There were two shots. 206 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000 I hit the deck, rolled, and fired one round. 207 00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:40,340 Coulter fell. 208 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,600 Didn't move. 209 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,980 When did you know it was Coulter? 210 00:14:45,140 --> 00:14:48,300 When I turned him over. Were there any other persons in the alley at the time? 211 00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:49,960 No. None that I could see. 212 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,720 Right after, some people showed up. Did you touch anything? 213 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,280 Only Coulter. Did you see the gun? 214 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,680 Not at that time. When did you see it? When... 215 00:14:58,910 --> 00:15:02,690 Lieutenant Chandler showed up with a detail from homicide. Where was the gun 216 00:15:02,690 --> 00:15:03,690 that time? 217 00:15:05,570 --> 00:15:09,250 In Coulter's shoulder holster. Coulter buttoned over it? Yes, sir. The lab 218 00:15:09,250 --> 00:15:12,010 report says that Coulter's gun had not been fired. 219 00:15:13,470 --> 00:15:16,690 Well, then there must have been another gun. The lab ran a paraffin test. 220 00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:19,190 According to it, Coulter had not fired any gun. 221 00:15:20,650 --> 00:15:24,510 I don't know what to say. You did say you were standing with your back to the 222 00:15:24,510 --> 00:15:27,110 alley wall when the shots were fired. Alleged. 223 00:15:27,650 --> 00:15:32,190 Hey, look, whose side are you on? I told you. It has not been established that 224 00:15:32,190 --> 00:15:34,850 any shots were fired by any gun but yours. 225 00:15:36,350 --> 00:15:41,450 Until such time as that point is established, we will not assume it to be 226 00:15:41,770 --> 00:15:43,470 Well, those shots must have gone somewhere. 227 00:15:43,930 --> 00:15:47,290 According to the report from Lieutenant Chandler, no bullet holes were found on 228 00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:48,290 the wall behind you. 229 00:15:48,590 --> 00:15:53,270 Now, Frank, you're certain Coulter shot at you? Positive. 230 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,920 Could those shots have been a car backfiring? 231 00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:03,620 I saw flashes from a gun. We have a report from a garage mechanic named 232 00:16:03,620 --> 00:16:08,160 Maxson. He owns the garage that opens into the alley. According to him, the 233 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,900 he was working on backfired a couple of times. Then he heard a shot. Hey, I've 234 00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:16,700 been shot at before. Now, I know a gun flash when I see one. Is it possible you 235 00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:21,000 just imagined flashes when you heard the sound because you expected Coulter to 236 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,020 shoot at you because you wanted him to? Look, in the first place, I didn't know 237 00:16:24,020 --> 00:16:25,020 it was Coulter. 238 00:16:25,690 --> 00:16:26,890 And I saw those flashes. 239 00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:30,750 That's it for now. 240 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:35,310 You are, of course, suspended from duty until a determination is made. How long 241 00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:36,950 will that be? That's up to Internal Affairs. 242 00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:40,650 I'm sure they'll proceed with due dispatch. 243 00:16:41,050 --> 00:16:42,049 Now, look. 244 00:16:42,050 --> 00:16:46,090 I didn't deliberately gun that man down. No one said you did, Frank. 245 00:16:46,490 --> 00:16:50,210 But it's bound to come up. Once Internal Affairs gets through with the 246 00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:52,370 technicalities, they'll go to work on motive. 247 00:16:53,510 --> 00:16:57,550 Including... Why you were outside Colter's apartment building. I told you 248 00:16:58,450 --> 00:17:01,110 I didn't even know it was Colter's apartment building. 249 00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:04,690 I went there to get information about a missing witness. 250 00:17:04,910 --> 00:17:05,950 Old friend from the army. 251 00:17:06,170 --> 00:17:07,349 I had to lie to you, Ed. 252 00:17:07,589 --> 00:17:11,990 Oh, it's after I told you to leave that case alone. 253 00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:20,310 All right, when the landlady gave you that information about Buster Logan, did 254 00:17:20,310 --> 00:17:21,310 you pass it on to homicide? 255 00:17:22,650 --> 00:17:23,650 No. 256 00:17:24,270 --> 00:17:25,690 I thought I could handle it myself. 257 00:17:25,970 --> 00:17:27,150 You wanted to handle it yourself. 258 00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:29,730 Now, where did you meet Logan? 259 00:17:29,930 --> 00:17:30,589 Right works. 260 00:17:30,590 --> 00:17:31,630 Ed can drive you there. 261 00:17:31,910 --> 00:17:34,950 At least Buster Logan can verify that he called you. 262 00:17:35,910 --> 00:17:36,910 What call? 263 00:17:37,050 --> 00:17:40,050 The call you made to me last night. 264 00:17:41,090 --> 00:17:44,830 I didn't call you last night. You told me to think it over and I haven't 265 00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:46,010 finished thinking about it yet. 266 00:17:46,610 --> 00:17:49,170 Ed, I'm telling you, this is the guy I talked to last night. 267 00:17:52,290 --> 00:17:53,810 If you called him, 268 00:17:54,670 --> 00:17:57,630 and are covering it up for some reason, I'd advise against it. 269 00:17:58,110 --> 00:18:02,130 Because when we finish this case, if you're lying, we'll have you put 270 00:18:02,130 --> 00:18:02,909 to murder. 271 00:18:02,910 --> 00:18:03,910 You understand? 272 00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:09,510 I don't know nothing about any murder or any phone call. 273 00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:11,650 Let's go. 274 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,200 Could it be somebody else calling him and saying it was Logan? 275 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,620 I wouldn't have any way of knowing. I couldn't hear the guy's voice at all. 276 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:31,500 But why would he call Frank and then deny it? I don't know. 277 00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:35,320 Unless he got scared after what happened. Or he was setting him up. 278 00:18:39,060 --> 00:18:42,100 Well, you couldn't convict my partner in court, so one of your own men took the 279 00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:43,100 law in his own hands, is that it? 280 00:18:43,630 --> 00:18:46,650 If that's what you came here to say, you can save your breath. No, I came here 281 00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:49,010 to tell you you're not going to sweep this under the rug. I want you to know 282 00:18:49,010 --> 00:18:51,870 that. I have no intention of sweeping anything under the rug, Mr. Keating, 283 00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:54,150 including the details of your very lucrative business. 284 00:18:54,690 --> 00:18:58,930 Well, if you ever find anything illegal about it, please let me know. You may 285 00:18:58,930 --> 00:18:59,930 rest assured. 286 00:18:59,970 --> 00:19:01,670 In the meantime, why isn't that officer in jail? 287 00:19:01,910 --> 00:19:05,010 The way you kept my partner. Internal affairs has not completed its 288 00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:06,010 investigation. 289 00:19:06,390 --> 00:19:08,250 There's no charge against Sergeant Carlson. 290 00:19:09,050 --> 00:19:10,870 Now, if you've no more questions... 291 00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:13,810 No more questions, just a statement of fact. 292 00:19:14,530 --> 00:19:16,270 If you try to cover this up, I'll go over your head. 293 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:18,190 And you can depend on that. 294 00:19:22,370 --> 00:19:23,370 Nice guy. 295 00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:32,130 Mr. Maxon? 296 00:19:32,250 --> 00:19:33,250 What? 297 00:19:33,490 --> 00:19:34,490 I'd like to talk to you. 298 00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:39,490 Oh. Say, uh... I hope I didn't make a big thing for that fellow with what I 299 00:19:39,490 --> 00:19:42,730 the homicide lieutenant about the backfire. You had to tell it the way it 300 00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:45,470 didn't mean that there was nobody outside when the motor backfired. I just 301 00:19:45,470 --> 00:19:46,470 that I couldn't have heard it. 302 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:48,310 But it didn't come out that way in the paper, did it? 303 00:19:49,530 --> 00:19:56,470 Mr. Maxson, would you tell us about those backfires exactly as they 304 00:19:56,910 --> 00:19:57,910 Oh, are you a cop? 305 00:19:58,070 --> 00:20:00,710 Yeah, he's a cop. Oh, sure. You see, I was working on his car last night. 306 00:20:00,930 --> 00:20:01,970 Do you usually work nights? 307 00:20:02,410 --> 00:20:05,010 Yeah, when I have to. You see, I promised this cat that I'd have his car 308 00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:07,880 for him the day, you see. You must have some very understanding neighbors. 309 00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:10,360 Well, I really could care less about what my neighbors understand. 310 00:20:10,860 --> 00:20:14,060 But anyway, this little number's got an ignition problem. The distributor shot, 311 00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:15,220 so I replaced it. 312 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,220 I'm checking it out when it backfires. 313 00:20:17,740 --> 00:20:18,559 Think back. 314 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,900 Just like that. Can you make it backfire again? 315 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,200 Oh, sure. 316 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:43,710 One shot just second after you turned off the motor. 317 00:20:44,030 --> 00:20:47,990 Yeah, right. And you ran out to find Sergeant Carlson bending over the body. 318 00:20:48,370 --> 00:20:49,089 Yeah, that's right. 319 00:20:49,090 --> 00:20:51,930 I think that covers it for now. Thank you for your time, Mr. Maxson. 320 00:20:52,330 --> 00:20:54,150 Well, let me know if there's anything else I can do. 321 00:20:54,610 --> 00:20:56,610 Hey, I hope I didn't make any waves with that detective. 322 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,560 Yes? 323 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,600 Police? 324 00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:22,840 You, uh, own this shop? 325 00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:24,240 Yes. Ed? 326 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,480 You know this man? 327 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,600 Yes. Now, you were here last night during the trouble. I'm here always. I 328 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,980 here. And you went out when the shots were fired? 329 00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:43,300 I went out after the shots, when I heard no more. 330 00:21:45,550 --> 00:21:47,370 He was standing over the dead man. 331 00:21:47,570 --> 00:21:49,370 Did you hear another shot just now? 332 00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:50,750 Gunshot? 333 00:21:51,870 --> 00:21:54,310 There was a backfire from one of the machine. 334 00:21:54,570 --> 00:21:56,190 I saw smoke from the garage. 335 00:21:56,430 --> 00:21:57,430 Like last night? 336 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:59,610 No smoke last night. 337 00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:02,910 Mr. Yee, do you know what gunpowder smells like? 338 00:22:03,710 --> 00:22:06,990 Like firecracker. Yes, did you smell gunpowder last night? 339 00:22:07,330 --> 00:22:09,870 Yes, like firecracker. But no smoke? 340 00:22:10,970 --> 00:22:11,970 No smoke. 341 00:22:12,010 --> 00:22:14,190 Thank you, Mr. Yee. Thank you very much. 342 00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:21,370 It's no gunpowder. There were shots fired. 343 00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:28,330 Well, we're sure of at least one, aren't we, Ed? You mean Frank's. I mean 344 00:22:28,330 --> 00:22:29,330 Frank's. 345 00:22:36,770 --> 00:22:37,770 All right, Frank. 346 00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:42,010 Show us exactly where you were standing before Coulter showed up. 347 00:22:48,970 --> 00:22:52,530 Now locate Coulter, where he was when you first became aware of him. 348 00:22:52,990 --> 00:22:53,990 Well, I heard him first. 349 00:22:54,850 --> 00:22:56,570 Then he wasn't sneaking up on you. 350 00:22:58,110 --> 00:23:02,010 I guess not. Where Frank was standing, maybe Coulter didn't know who he was 351 00:23:02,010 --> 00:23:05,690 right away. But if Coulter set up a trap for him... Coulter had set up a trap he 352 00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:06,690 wouldn't have missed. 353 00:23:08,250 --> 00:23:13,250 No, I don't think Coulter expected to see Frank at all. I think he was 354 00:23:13,770 --> 00:23:15,090 Coming home to his apartment. 355 00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:18,910 Great. That makes it look even more as if Frank was hanging around and waiting 356 00:23:18,910 --> 00:23:21,010 for him. Frank, get me the coroner's report again. 357 00:23:21,690 --> 00:23:23,570 It wasn't just hanging around. 358 00:23:24,850 --> 00:23:28,470 Look, I got a call from Logan telling me to meet him there. 359 00:23:28,690 --> 00:23:32,670 Yeah. A phone call of which there's no record except the fact that Ed said that 360 00:23:32,670 --> 00:23:35,190 you received one, which could have been done by anybody. 361 00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:37,850 You know something? You're going to make a great attorney. 362 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,060 I hope I'm around to see it. Your bullet struck Coulter in the side of the head, 363 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:44,100 the left side. 364 00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:47,600 Mark, point out where Coulter would have been standing when he saw Frank. 365 00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:54,840 Now, Frank, were you still there when you fired? Well, I hit the pavement and 366 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,840 rolled. 367 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,200 So, say there. 368 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,440 Well, he was struck on the left side of the head. 369 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,500 He was turning to his right while you were taking evasive action. 370 00:24:12,340 --> 00:24:16,360 In other words, he was turning away from you. To see where the shots came from. 371 00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:20,560 Right. Someone could have stepped out of the doorway behind him, moved to the 372 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,860 right, fired two...

Or maybe the fact that she's 595 00:37:25,870 --> 00:37:29,290 working with Iris Maxson is worth more than a couple of bucks and tired feet. 596 00:37:29,350 --> 00:37:30,370 You remember Iris. 597 00:37:30,890 --> 00:37:32,810 Big heart and a bigger mouth. 598 00:37:34,170 --> 00:37:37,610 Yes, Iris has already told her about Jerry and their troubles. 599 00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:40,410 Iris has told her that Jerry wants her to come back to him. 600 00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:42,350 Says he's in the chips now. 601 00:37:43,770 --> 00:37:46,790 Am I supposed to be concerned about this?

Well, prove it. Make a federal cave out of it. Not a 641 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,060 federal cave.
