more dead than alive,
this policewoman convinced
me to do the decent thing.
Like remove him from prison
mortuary alive?
He wasn't exactly alive,
There was severe brain damage.
I'm certain he was legally dead.
I was telling the truth when
I signed that death certificate.
There's no way he could function
as a human being again.
Read the newspaper, Doc.
Get out of my office, Now!
You never came here.
I'm not going to pick up that phone.
This never happened.
There's no end to your decency,
Is there Doctor?
What did I do wrong?
You should have seen him on the
operating table, cut to pieces.
I know the system
screwed him.
The politicians, put him in prison
and the inmates did the rest.
And now you're trying to ruin
my life and my career.
We're not trying to
ruin anybody.
We just want to bury Mat Cordell
once and for all.
Get out of here.
Go away.
Here Doctor, put this on.
What are you talking about?
You know it's
St. Patrick's Day?
Hey, The Mayor and the Police
Commissioner will be there.
Yeah, along with five thousand cops.
I bet Cordell has loved walking in that
parade every year he was on the force.
Whatever he loved he hates now.
And so this years St Patrick's Day
parade continues on schedule,
despite speculation of the parade
may have been cancelled
due to fear of violence.
Authorities report scores
of death threats against the police,
plus threats of bombings
along the parade route.
But this has not deterred
a record crowd for
turning out for New York's
St Patrick's Day parade.
What a parade it is.
Public have rage on
the continued killings
by the so called maniac cop,
have brought many hostile New Yorkers
to New Yorks 5th avenue today.
Police security forces and the special
bomb squads are on full force.
As well as plaincloth detectives
were mixed into the crowd.
I can't walk in. They're gonna
shoot me on sight.
I'll do it.
Alright, but you gonna get
through to the commissioner.
I'm supposed to convince him these killings
are being committed by a dead man?
Commissioner pike was Chief of Police
when Cordell was sent to jail.
He's probably the one that
Cordell blames more than anybody else.
- Where you gonna be?
- I'm gonna be right here.
They're ready for you
on the grand stand.
Oh come on.
Jerry, you'll be late.
You go, stand in for me.
Tell them I'm not well enough.
Look you got to make an appearence.
The press is expecting you.
It'll be a slap on the face of the entire
N.Y.P.D not to show up.
To hell with that!
Thats what Cordell wants me to do.
Show up at the parade
so he can have a clear shot at me.
Will you stay calm?
The maniac has never made a move
in broad daylight or in a public place.
You can be safer on that
grand stand than in here.
I'm staying here, I want security
around me, doubled!
If you're dealing with a ghost, you
really think that's gonna keep him out.
So he says, Commissioner said
that this is my wife.
Look who's just walked in.
Jack Forrest's girlfriend.
Come on, everybody outta here.
Alright, so where is
that son of a bitch?
He's willing to give himself up.
After you listen.
So you're giving orders now.
I know who committed these murders.
So do we sweetheart,
its your boyfriend.
You are wrong.
Its a man named Matt Cordell.
A ghost.
Did you come up with this
lunatic idea up by yourself,
or are you on drugs?
It was Mc Crae's theory.
But we verified it.
Listen sweetheart, last night
before Mc Crae was murdered,
he called my house,
I wasn't there
I was at a charity event
but he was kind enough...
...to leave a message on my service.
Would you like to give a listen?
This is Frank McCrae.
I've got solid evidence this,
homicidal maniac is getting information
from inside the department.
His accomplice is a female employee.
A policewoman.
I'll be at the Crime Records
Division, waiting.
Call me when you get in.
Ofcourse he couldn't have
been talking about you.
A
