:16:00
See if there was another...
:16:02
...witness on the scene.
:16:03
A kid. Just an address
and a name will do.
:16:06
You got it.
:16:08
After that, get me some coffee.
:16:17
Oakland Police.
Sgt. Bartlett.
:16:19
Donaldson at the Tribune.
Who headed the Beechum case?
:16:22
Anyone there know the Beechum case?
:16:25
All of us. Anyone here.
:16:27
Before Beechum comes to the store...
:16:29
...there's another witness
in the parking lot, right?
:16:32
Wrong. There's nothing
like that in the files.
:16:35
- How do you know? Have you looked?
- Believe me, we know.
:16:38
Everybody here has
memorized these files.
:16:41
No other witnesses.
Porterhouse and Larson, that's it.
:16:44
But a lot of circumstantial.
:16:46
This is Donaldson at the Tribune.
:16:48
On the Beechum case, was there
a record of a kid who was a witness?
:16:52
A kid?
:16:54
I don't think so.
:16:56
- You're sure?
- Thanks anyway.
:16:58
All right, thanks.
:17:04
That was the whip in the investigation.
:17:07
Says it rings a bell.
But he doesn't remember any names.
:17:10
Ardsley, who headed the investigation,
retired. Florida somewhere.
:17:15
Shit!
:17:18
Everett! Come here.
:17:20
Shit!
:17:27
- Don't look so happy about it.
- Who said anything about being happy?
:17:31
I understand your prison interview went
beyond just a human-interest sidebar.
:17:35
I colored outside the lines a bit,
but the warden wasn't sore about it.
:17:39
He just probably thought
you were back on the booze.
:17:42
- There's no smoking in the building.
- You got a minute?!
:17:45
I can't tolerate this.
:17:46
Steve, say you're sorry.
Bob, punch his lights out.
:17:49
This isn't personal.
:17:50
I gave him an important story
with specific instructions.
:17:53
The newspaper promised...
:17:55
- The guy is not guilty.
- Come on!
:17:57
This isn't a human-interest sidebar.
It's a crucifixion.
