Jake and the Fatman (1987) s01e17 Episode Script

1
I'll say this about the
Fatman: he's a sweet guy.
Listen, creep, I'm going to
take you apart like a clock.
JAKE: He can be
tough when he has to be.
J.L.: Jake Styles?
Don't ask me how
he can live the way he
does on a cop's salary.
Some people do seem
to like him, however.
But he's a damn good
investigator, and he's mine.
(theme playing)
He's a good guy.
Don't you forget it.
(gentle music playing)

Uh, excuse me, Mr. O'Rourke?
Not in the middle of a lesson.
My backhand's
in serious trouble.
The man said it was urgent.
Matter of life and death.
Steve, I've been working
you too hard take a break.
O'Rourke.
It's been ten years, Tim.
I bet you think
about me every day.
(laughs): Who is this?
Come on, Tim.
You don't recognize the
only voice that scares you?
Harry?
Well, I'm ready to
come home, Tim.
Harry, it's really good to
hear from you, you know?
(click, dial tone
drones) What can I
(phone ringing)
Hello?
HARRY: Did I wake you, Tim?
Or were you even asleep?
Maybe it's hard to sleep
knowing I'm coming back.
I sleep like a baby, Bauer.
I'm not afraid.
You used to be smarter, Tim.
In fact, I bet you're
still a pretty smart guy.
You have ten seconds
to tell me what you want.
$1 million.
(chuckles): You're crazy.
That's a bargain, to stay
out of the gas chamber.
Or don't you think McCabe
wants you anymore?
Harry, if you even think
about going to McCabe,
(click, dial tone drones)
you're gonna find out exactly
Who was that?
Nobody. Mm.
WOMAN (over P.A. system):
Flight number 644 from Boston
is now arriving at
The guy in the sports jacket.
Harry Bauer?
My name is Jake Styles.
I work for J.L. McCabe.
These gentlemen
here are police officers.
They're assigned to protect you.
How is McCabe?
Well, he's waited
for ten years
I'd say he's eager to
see you. Okay, let's go.
I've got a stop to make first.
There's something I got to do.
♪
J.L.: So, Mr. Bauer,
after all these years,
quite a surprise.
Tell the truth, McCabe,
how many cops did you
have out looking for me, huh?
Oh, one or two. (chuckles)
But I wasn't worried
You guys always turn
up one way or another.
Uh-uh. I wasn't about to
get nailed by O'Rourke.
Which does make
me a little curious
about why you
decided to phone me.
I can put O'Rourke
away, isn't that enough?
So, what can you tell us?
HARRY: Everything.
Drugs, numbers, whores.
I was a bookkeeper
I got it all.
Interesting, of course.
But, uh
what I'd really prefer is, uh
Murder?
As in Jack Burns?
Not bad.
If you can do it.
Well, let's see.
It was Sunday
I remember, before
the Fourth of July,
because there's always
a big holiday race,
and I was on my
way to the track.
But first I had a stop to make.
This restaurant where
O'Rourke hung out.
See, every Sunday
the guys running
betting slips on the street
check in with their grosses,
and, uh, O'Rourke was just
crazy to know about every dime.
So I had to find him,
wherever he was, and report.
I'm as strong as I ever
was. You don't have
any organization left,
Burns, don't you understand?
BURNS: I don't have
any organization left
'cause you keep
sucking them away!
O'ROURKE: Listen to me, Burns,
I'm being more than reasonable.
You walk away
Teddy.
How's it going, huh?
O'Rourke sent me out.
Claims for the papers.
If you're smart, you'll come to.
BURNS: Now, how much
muscle do you think that can buy?
Enough to stop you.
O'ROURKE: That's
bull, and you know it.
Try me and find out.
Read the writing,
Jack You're finished.
My dad ran the docks,
and his uncle before him.
They gave them to me, and
nobody's muscling me out!
You don't have the
brains to stop me, Jack.
You certainly
don't have the guts.
BURNS: You take one
step over the Harbor Bridge,
(two gunshots)
O'Rourke, and I'll cut off
Hey, Tim.
Looks like you got
a clean-up problem.
Lucky thing I I
happened to be here.
So I, uh
I put Burns' body in the
trunk of O'Rourke's car
and, uh, dumped it for him.
He must have been
very appreciative.
HARRY: Hey, I thought my future
was all sewed up.
Next thing I know,
O'Rourke tries to kill me.
That's not surprising.
Well, that was the last anybody
saw or heard of Harry Bauer.
J.L.: Which brings me back
to my original
question: Why now?
Well, about six
months ago, I, uh
I had a heart attack.
Eh
no big deal, I thought.
Till the second one.
The doctors say it, uh,
could be six years or, uh,
six minutes.
So you want us to think that
you're here to square things.
Hey, I don't care
what you think.
I left town with what
I had in my pocket.
And before I go for
good, I want him to pay.
Now, you want my
testimony or not?
We're gonna give
you that chance.
Now, Jake here will
make sure that you're safe
until you get on
the witness stand.
Well, I hope you're good.
'Cause O'Rourke will be.
I guess we're gonna
find out, aren't we?
Yeah.
Wow, what a break.
Yeah, maybe.
What's wrong?
I would think you'd
be doing back flips.
I mean, this witness
falls right out of the sky,
right in our laps,
and he can help us
to prosecute a major crime boss.
That's the problem.
Why?
Why does a selfish rat like
Bauer suddenly take a chance?
Well, he said that he wants
to get even before he dies.
He's never thought
about anything
or anybody except himself.
If he had ten minutes to live,
he'd be working on an
angle to turn it into a half hour.
But why do you care?
He can testify and
put away O'Rourke.
You know something,
you're right, kid.
Why the hell should I care?
(phone ringing)
Hello.
This is Mr. McCabe speaking.
Um
Yes, yes.
Well, what-what is the name
of your organization, sir?
Oh, the National Canine and
Breeding Association, huh?
Well, n-no.
I-I had never thought
about registering Max.
Uh, papers?
Oh, well, I-I don't
think I kept any.
Are-are they essential?
Oh! Of course, of course.
I'll be happy to
sign an affidavit.
You just send me
the forms, huh?
Thank you.
I'll be waiting to hear
from you. Good-bye.
(chuckles)
I didn't know that Max had
a distinguished bloodline.
You're dammed right he does.
And you watch what you say
in front of him from now on.
Max is a very sensitive animal.
(laughs)
Yeah.
Tommy, how we doing?
Hey, Jake.
Oakland's got the room secured.
Got a man outside,
two inside with him.
The department's
gonna bring in all the food.
He won't see daylight
till we go to court.
Oakland and I are
on now with Crawford.
Relief every eight hours
so nobody gets lonely.
Did you see her fingernails?
Get down.
And finally, the people
ask you to consider
why we have no statute
of limitations on murder.
The answer is as compelling
as it is awesome,
and it is simply that we,
all of us, have decided
that the deliberate
taking of a life is a crime
of such heinous
and venal dimensions
that we are entitled,
that we demand
resolution,
and the mere passage
of time is no bar
to that day of judgment.
And that is what Tim
O'Rourke now faces.
(knocking)
Yeah?
McCabe's ready for Bauer.
Looks like your
big moment's here.
Yeah, well, I'm ready.
Mr. Bauer, please state
your name for the record.
Harold Bauer.
Now, Mr. Bauer,
are you acquainted
with the defendant,
Tim O'Rourke?
I am.
And how are you
acquainted with him?
I, uh
I used to work (coughs)
Mr. Bauer?
I Are you all right?
Sorry.
Clerk.
Get a doctor down
here right away.
I'm having a heart attack.
We'll have a doctor here soon.
There's someone here to see ya.
A priest? Named Dwyer?
Oh, he's my cousin.
A priest?
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Harry?
Yeah, I-I can't believe it.
Ten years and
nobody hears a word
and then I turn on the
TV and there you are.
Yeah, it's a real surprise.
I flew in as soon as I
found out Harry was here.
I just came from the airport.
Hey, Officer. Could
we talk privately?
We got lots of
family You know.
I guess it will be okay.
Thanks.
So, how is Aunt
Clare and the boys?
She just wants you to get well.
You got the note obviously.
Why else would I
fake a heart attack
on the witness stand, huh?
I don't know.
Sentiment? Old times?
(laughs): Sure.
That's why O'Rourke agreed
to pay you your half million.
Hey.
My million.
The only sentiment
O'Rourke's got
is disappointment his
hit at the hotel went sour.
Yeah.
You mind if I ask
you a question?
It's just personal curiosity.
'Cause actually,
it's been bugging me
ever since O'Rourke
told me you were back.
Well, you can always ask.
What do you you
need with the money?
I mean, you really
are dying, aren't you?
That's why I want it.
Tell O'Rourke he should consider
it Workman's Comp for my family.
Family?
Yeah.
I thought your daughter
was dead.
She is.
I was talkin' about my ex-wife.
She's all I got left.
Okay.
You got your deal.
When?
Right now.
I brought a deposit.
(laughs): Baby.
How could this happen?
How in bloody hell,
with half the budget of the
department spent on security,
does a hit man take
out my only witness?
Well, we don't have
any real evidence yet,
but I've got some strong ideas
that I think are
worth talking about.
What is it?
Bauer knew the
man who killed him.
Supposedly it was
his cousin, a priest.
Even asked the guard
to leave them alone.
So? O'Rourke finds a
relative of our witness
who's prepared to
earn some real money?
Why don't I think
that's the answer?
Because Bauer's only
relative is his ex-wife.
No cousin who's a priest.
No. There's another thing.
The doctors at the
emergency room
said they found no
evidence of a heart attack
when they brought your
witness in from the courtroom.
No, he faked it to get off the
stand, the miserable son of a
Well, find out why.
Good idea. Why
didn't I think of that?
We know O'Rourke's behind it.
If we can prove why
Bauer sold us out,
maybe we can tie
O'Rourke to the murder.
Maybe I should go
talk with the ex-wife.
Well, get on it.
I'm about to eat humble
pie with O'Rourke.
I would just like to think
that at least the illusion
of an investigation is going on.
(intercom buzzes)
Yeah?
Yeah, all right. Put him on.
Yes, this is
Mr. McCabe, Mr. Froylich.
How are ya?
(laughs)
Good, good.
Uh er No problem with
that affidavit I sent you, is there?
Mm-hmm.
What membership fee?
$2,000!
What kind of a scam
are you running, anyway?
You people should
be investigated!
JAKE: And you never heard
from your husband after he left?
A year after he
disappeared, I divorced Harry.
Not that it was ever very much
of a marriage to begin with.
Um
This is a sketch of
what the man looked like.
Do you have any idea who he is?
No.
You sure?
Maybe it's somebody
he knew a long time ago.
Mr. Styles,
I really don't care.
I'm sorry to be that way,
but if you knew about all the
years he promised to change
that were lies before he
even finished making them.
All the cheating.
I'm sorry.
Could you just go, please?
Sure.
I'm sorry that I upset you.
That's a nice picture.
Is that your daughter?
Kimberly. She
She died about a year
after that was taken.
It's my favorite picture of her.
It's nice.
Well thank you for your time.
The court has before
it the defense motion
to drop all charges.
Do the people
object, Mr. McCabe?
Absolutely, Your Honor.
Although we've lost
our primary witness,
as Your Honor knows,
we're still confident
that we can proceed
against the defendant.
However, we do ask the
court for a short recess
as we reevaluate our case.
Your Honor, we object.
The defendant's entitled
to a speedy trial
and due process.
We're opposed to any
recess or continuance.
Counsel, the, uh,
People have just had
their chief witness murdered.
Good grounds exist
for a short continuance.
Court will be recessed
until Monday morning.
Thank you, Your Honor.
You know, you don't have a case,
not next Monday,
not ever, McCabe,
and you're lucky
I'm so generous,
because, otherwise
I'd sue you for
malicious prosecution.
May I suggest that you hang on
to that very expensive
lawyer of yours
because you're gonna
need him, I give you my word.
(chuckles)
Oh, yes.
Bye.
The bank says Bauer ordered
a safe deposit box by mail,
about a week ago,
before he got here.
He never used it.
Found the key in his things.
What happened when
you opened the box?
Nothing. It was empty.
So the question becomes:
What did Bauer plan
to put in the box but didn't
because he was murdered?
Well, I don't know.
What do you put in
a safety deposit box?
You put things that
are valuable, right?
You put things like
jewelry, insurance policy
Well, today I certainly
earned my salary, such as it is.
Money.
Maybe it's money.
A payoff from
O'Rourke not to testify.
I combined shrewd
analytical reasoning
with some backbreaking
time at a computer terminal
and guess what I came up with?
Wait a minute.
He tries shaking O'Rourke down.
O'Rourke says no.
Bauer calls me
to raise the ante.
O'Rourke tries to kill him
and when that doesn't
work, he agrees to pay.
He sends this priest
with a suitcase to Bauer.
Bauer thinks the
suitcase is full of money
so he lets him in the room
and the priest kills him.
But what does a guy who's dying
want with a lot of money?
Fortunately, I have
that very answer.
Derek,
you'd better be
right, I can only take
so much ill-founded
enthusiasm right after lunch.
Bauer had an insurance policy.
It was only for $10,000, but
guess who the beneficiary is?
Who?
His daughter Kimberly.
Nice try. The daughter's dead.
The mother told
me that this morning.
Yeah, but Bauer just
confirmed the beneficiary.
When?
Three months ago.
Well, that's why he wanted
the money from O'Rourke.
A legacy for her.
The mother told me that the
daughter had died years ago.
Why would she lie?
To protect the
daughter from O'Rourke.
That's got to be the answer.
But why?
Got the address of the daughter?
Yeah. It's right here.
It's out by the university,
4000 Oak Knoll, Apartment J.
(whistling tune)
Yes?
Kimberly Bauer?
My name is Jake Styles,
I, uh
I'm with the District
Attorney's office.
No, I'm sorry. Kim's
not here right now.
I'm her roommate.
Oh.
Do you know
where I can find her?
There was a detective
here looking for her earlier.
Was this the man?
Yes. Who is he?
He's the man who
killed her father.
Wait a minute.
I'm Kimberly Bauer.
My mother told me not to
tell anyone who I really am.
Something terrible has happened.
What?
Ann, my roommate,
he thinks she's me.
Does he know
what Ann looks like?
Yes, in fact he came in, he
saw a picture of us together
He took it with him.
I told him she was at her
job at the Student Union.
Come on, let's go.
No, I mean it. I really do.
Are you gonna go to
that party this Friday?
Sure. Good.
(woman screaming)
Ann?!
Hey, hey, hey,
hey, stay right here.
Stay right here.
Oh, my God.
Please, somebody do something!
Somebody do something!
Oh, no!
Oh, Ann! Oh Oh, no!
(over P.A.): X-ray technician on
call, please call the emergency room.
X-ray technician call
the emergency room.
Here you go.
It may not be the best
coffee in the world,
but I'll tell you
it's really hot.
Thank you. You're welcome.
You know, uh, what you
did when you told that man
you were your roommate,
well, it was a mistake
but you were scared.
When we're scared,
we do dumb things.
I could tell you some stories.
I've done some real dumb things.
The important thing is
that she's your roommate,
you really care
about her, you know.
That's why you're here.
Kimberly.
How could such a terrible
thing have happened?
I'm so sorry.
It's all my fault.
What?!
Uh, are you Ann's parents?
Oh, yes. Yes.
I'm Doctor Matheson.
I did the surgery
on your daughter.
How is our daughter?
She's in intensive care.
I'm afraid her
condition is still critical.
MOTHER: Oh, my God!
Why don't you come
with me now? (sobbing)
Can we please just
leave just for a minute?
Come on.
All little girls love their
fathers, don't they?
Idolize them.
I know I did.
My father was handsome.
Every morning he would
sit me on his lap at breakfast
and he'd read me the comics.
And he smelled of soap
and aftershave lotion.
I know he loved you very much.
On the weekends, he took
me everywhere with him.
All his errands.
Wherever he went.
So I couldn't believe
it when he left.
For years I wrote him
begging him to come back.
I still have the letters
because I never knew
where to send them.
So you can imagine how
surprised I was when I got this call.
Him wanting to meet
me at the cemetery.
What makes you say he loved me?
The reason why he came
back was because of you.
He tried to make a
deal with O'Rourke.
He wanted money not to testify.
He knew he was dying,
so he wanted to leave
the money for you.
So O'Rourke had him killed.
You know something?
(clearing throat)
I know that after
everything's that's happened
(sniffles)
well, I wouldn't blame you
if you didn't want to help us.
But if you do,
I know somebody who would
like to talk to you very much.
You can't even think
about doing that.
Will you think about
what he did to Dad?
To Ann.
He has men every place.
Your father used to joke about
how he had more cops on
his payroll than the city did.
Just forget about it?
Yes. Haven't you been listening?
He'll kill us both.
Daddy died trying to help us.
He wanted to
give us a better life.
Baby, you still believe
your father was a good man.
I know he loved you
when you were little.
I think that's why I stayed
with him all those years.
But believe me he was nothing
like what you think he was.
(phone ringing)
Hello.
How is she?
Okay, okay, listen,
it's gonna be all right.
I will be right down.
I'm leaving now.
That was Ann's mother.
She needs me
down at the hospital.
Kimberly, promise me
She's bleeding
internally, Mother.
She has to go back into surgery.
But, Kim, wait just a minute.
Even if you testify,
nobody will believe you.
Don't you understand
O'Rourke has all the power.
Kimmie!
My little girl.
Our daughter Ann
she died a few minutes ago.
I'll do it.
Kimberly, is there something you
want to tell me about O'Rourke?
Yes.
You know this is a
very serious business.
Your father and your
roommate are both dead.
O'Rourke is a ruthless man.
I know how bad he is.
That's why I want to help.
Well, if you can,
we'll do everything
possible to protect you.
But you must understand
that there are risks.
I do.
Then what is it you can tell me?
It was the last day I
spent with my father.
We were gonna go to
the racetrack that day.
But he took me to the
restaurant to meet his boss.
And then he said we'd
spend the day together,
just the two of us.
And he took you with him
when he went to see O'Rourke?
Well, not exactly.
I waited outside.
Did you see what happened?
I heard these explosions.
They were the loudest
noises I've ever heard.
You saw O'Rourke
murder the other man?
I think so.
I saw somebody get shot.
And then I saw my father
carry the body out the back
and then he went away.
J.L.: Kimberly, unless you can
make a positive identification now
your testimony really
won't be conclusive.
I understand.
Take your time.
Look very carefully.
Bring them out, John.
(door opens)
JAKE: Please turn to your left.
Now, could you
please turn to your right.
I can't.
Face front again please.
Kimberly, is there anybody
you want to see closer?
We can have them step forward.
No, Jake.
I'm sorry, I-I can't,
I don't remember.
MAN: All right, McCabe.
Admit this harassment is over.
Release my client and
dismiss the charges against him.
Kimberly, is there one
who even looks familiar?
I told you, I'm sorry.
I don't remember!
Kimberly? Wait a minute.
Look, Jake, I already told you,
all those guys
look similar to me.
I know, I know. Hey, look, I
know it's hard in there, okay?
There's a lot of pressure
to pick the right guy.
And I know it's scary, but I'm
right here with you.
Everything's gonna be all right.
It's not that. Then what is it?
Look, you're gonna
have to tell me.
I want to help you,
but you're gonna have to
help me. Look, don't you think
I want you to get him
after all that he's done?
Why won't you believe me?!
Because I think you remember
everything about that day.
Well, I don't. I told you.
I don't, and I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna guess.
Jake if you don't believe
me, I have nothing else to say.
I'm sorry.
(door opens and closes)
Somebody's going to
have to explain it to me.
I don't understand.
We still have her story
about what happened.
J.L.: Which is
helpful certainly,
but not strong enough
to convict O'Rourke
without recollection
in the present time.
Ah, here we are!
This should make us feel better.
(J.L. laughs)
I think I'm gonna pass.
Oh, come on Jake.
You do that all the time.
You've got to eat something.
No, ah, the hell with it.
Dinner's on me, boys.
I'm going to go on home.
I'll talk to you in the morning.
Thanks, Jake. Yeah.
Thanks.
You know, Derek, let
this be a lesson to you.
What, about witnesses
that change their minds?
No, no, no about priorities:
nourishment,
sustenance, you know.
Oh, waiter, could
I have this plate
in a doggie bag please?
No, no, not my plate, that one.
He's new here.
He doesn't believe
I've got a dog.
Tell him I've got a dog.
Yeah, he's got one about this
(mouths words)
What was that?
Let's eat.
♪
Listen, I told the cops,
I told more reporters
than you can believe,
and every tourist
who comes in here.
When Burns bought it,
I was three blocks away
at a newsstand making
myself scarce. Mm-hmm.
Hi. I'm sorry,
fella, we're closed.
J.L.: It's all right,
he's with me.
Well, I guess you
fell for the same urge
for coffee that I did, huh?
Yeah, I just had to
get out for a while.
Which one of these
booths was Burns killed in?
The middle one.
O'Rourke and I'll
(gunshot, screams)
I guess this place has
changed a lot since then, right?
Are you kidding?
I was here after the murder.
Looks pretty much
the way I remember it.
Nothing's changed
except the prices.
Hmm
Did you have
these curtains then?
These? Yeah. Yeah.
They're real expensive.
We got to replace
them once a year
'cause the sun
fades them like crazy.
Yeah, I bet. Of
course without them,
the sun is too bright
for the lunch crowd.
Also it's more private,
right? You're right.
The boys liked it that way.
With the doors locked it
was private as can be in here.
Be hard for a kid to
see through this window
with these curtains here.
Do me a favor
you guys, will you?
Will you go over to the booth
and sit where the
late Mr. Burns was?
Jake, you be O'Rourke,
and I will be Kimberly.
All right, here we go.
Now we know that
she wasn't looking
through those windows
because of the curtains.
There's no way she could
have seen from there.
But I got a good
plain look from here.
And from here.
And from almost
anywhere in this area.
Was Bauer alone when
he came in that morning?
Sure he was. I
wouldn't have let him in
if somebody'd been with him.
What about a little
girl, his daughter?
Oh, her.
Sure, she was always with him.
Hell, we were always ragging
him about that kid being
tied to his shoelaces. But
it's not in the police report.
The report from the shooting
says that you told
them that he was alone.
Of course I did. He was alone.
Well, except for the kid.
Nobody asked me about a kid.
He used to park her up
on one of those barstools.
I don't know where she is.
JAKE: You don't, huh?
When her roommate
died, she left the hospital.
I checked her apartment,
she wasn't there,
so I assumed she'd
be here with you.
She's not.
I haven't talked to her,
seen her for two days.
Mrs. Bauer, all you've done
is lie to me. Why
should I believe you now?
Because now it's finally over.
Now I don't have to be afraid.
Why, because Kimberly
couldn't identify O'Rourke?
Yes, it's finished.
How did you know she
couldn't pick him out of the lineup
if you haven't
seen her for days?
Well, I She, she
must have said
Did O'Rourke try
to buy you out? No.
No, he didn't. No. Just like he
tried to buy your husband off? No?
But if he had offered,
yes, I'd have grabbed it.
How the hell could you do that
after everything he's done?
How could you do that?
Do you have any idea what
it's like married to Harry?
Somebody who's a crook?
We never had any money.
Oh, yeah, there'd be big scores,
but then Harry'd be
gone for days at a time,
picking up every check,
being everybody's pal.
Where's your daughter?
Wait a minute! I want you
to hear what I have to say.
For years, I couldn't
go to the dentist
because we couldn't afford it.
And we were always
late with the rent
and I never knew from one
day to the next if we'd have a car,
if we did, if it was stolen.
I need to know where
your daughter is!
Where is she?
She she came in,
she went through a trunk
Yeah? And then she ran out.
What did she take with her?
Where the hell is she?!
Tell me where she is!
She went to his house.
I tried to stop her,
but she wouldn't,
she wouldn't listen to me.
(door opens and closes)
Yes?
I'm here for my money.
I beg your pardon, you're what?
I know you were
paying my father off,
and I could have identified
you in the lineup, but I didn't.
So you owe me what you
were going to pay him. Do I?
You made a deal
with him. It's mine now.
You really are your father's
daughter, you know that?
You're a lot cuter,
but just as misguided.
You killed him, didn't you?
Your father never
really understood
what this business
was all about, my dear.
He was a chiseler.
He was always
looking for an edge.
He had no integrity.
And he put me in a spot where
I really didn't have any choice.
Why couldn't you just
pay him the money?
Because, little miss,
that would be blackmail
and blackmail is not right.
So, you see, I'm going to tell
you something else,
and that oh-oh.
No-no-no, please.
Just be cool, relax.
You don't really mean
this. Dwyer! What did you
Just stay where you Dwyer!
(gunshot) Dwyer!
Dwyer!
Shoot her, kill her.
(gunshot, glass breaking)
(O'Rourke groans)
Stop her!
Stop her.
Kimberly
give me the gun.
(crying)
Give me the gun.
(sniffling)
It's okay.
J.L.: And you couldn't
kill O'Rourke, could you?
No, I wanted to, but I couldn't.
Is that why you wouldn't
identify him in the lineup?
Yes.
I was certain that he
had my father killed.
And I knew he was responsible
for sending the killer
to my friend Ann,
and she's dead now.
So I didn't trust the law.
I thought he was too powerful
and I wanted to kill him myself.
Now I want to ask
you one final question.
Can you identify the man
who shot and killed Jack Burns
in the restaurant ten years ago?
It was him.
