:44:04
But there's something else
you should know, sir.
:44:07
Paul Kersey now lives in Los Angeles.
:44:10
You suggesting Kersey's
out there killing again?
:44:13
Paul Kersey was an interesting man,
so I kept a loose tab on him.
:44:18
He worked in Chicago for a while...
:44:20
...where he met an old friend
who ran a radio station in L. A...
:44:24
...and he transferred
his business out there.
:44:27
But that doesn't mean
that he's the Los Angeles vigilante.
:44:31
- No, sir.
- But, Christ, what if he is?
:44:36
Yes, sir.
:44:38
If he is, and if he's caught,
the trail leads straight back to us.
:44:42
- We had him, and we didn't prosecute.
- For damn good reason.
:44:46
Street crime was down 50 percent.
:44:49
Muggers were afraid to go out.
:44:51
We know we'd have a martyr
on our hands if we prosecuted.
:44:55
But the fact is, we let him go.
:44:59
If he's caught now,
he'll say we let him go.
:45:02
I'md be disbarred. It'd be the
end of your career, commissioner.
:45:05
And you, inspector,
would not collect your pension.
:45:10
And I retire this year.
:45:12
It's simple.
We have to get him before they do.
:45:15
We?
:45:17
You.
:45:20
Well, I could go to Los Angeles
in answer to their request.
:45:25
I'll try to find out if Kersey's
up to his old tricks again.
:45:29
And if he is, I'll try to stop him...
:45:33
...quietly.
- Kill him?
