Quote
Capt. Frank Nelson:
What's wrong with the law that we can't touch him
[Mendoza, boss of murder ring]
Capt. Frank Nelson:
? Oh, I know, our kind of laws are designed to protect the innocent. It's not enough we know a man is guilty - we have to prove it.
D.A. Martin Ferguson:
Ever have a tune running through your head and you can't remember the words?
Capt. Frank Nelson:
What are you getting at?
D.A. Martin Ferguson:
How many people did we speak to on this case?
Capt. Frank Nelson:
Oh, I'd hate to remember.
D.A. Martin Ferguson:
How many pages of testimony do you suppose we took?
Capt. Frank Nelson:
Enough to fill a nice-sized room!
D.A. Martin Ferguson:
Heh, somewhere's in that testimony somebody said something that stuck in my brain. It got lost in the shuffle, because we didn't need it - we got Rico! But now...
[pause]
D.A. Martin Ferguson:
If I could only remember...
[Another pause]
D.A. Martin Ferguson:
Well, we got nothing else to do tonight - let's try and dig it out.
Capt. Frank Nelson:
[Nelson & Ferguson enter Ferguson's office]
Well, we can start from right to left or from left to right.
D.A. Martin Ferguson:
No, let's take it just as it came to us, right from that first crazy day.
[They pull out 1st folder: "State vs. Albert Mendoza." Dissolve to Bell St. Station and beginning of long flashback]
