and both, upon being recovered, not only had been recently fired, but had Brant Carmody's fingerprints on them. As Brant fits a certain profile as a youth offender with a history of violent behaviour, it was my deduction and that of those who accompanied me to Redland High School that he fired this weapon, that he acted alone, and that his motives, although uncertain, can be attributed to what his counsellors say was a strong tendency to act out his rage. We've wrapped up our investigation. We've handed over our findings to the Seattle PD, who will now handle this matter for the community of Redland, and we would like, without further questions, to consider this unfortunate matter closed. All right, good. Unless somebody has something, I'd like to move on. Why do you assume it was suicide? Uh... two reasons. The angle of entry on the wound, and his fingerprints were all over the trigger lock, which had to be removed before the weapon could be discharged. That's a very weak deduction. I'm not saying you're wrong. I think that the assumption you make about the second shooting is the basis for your assumption about the first shooting. Did anyone test the parents for powder burns? We didn't test the mother, because we were talking to her on her doorstep when the gun went off. And no, we didn't check the father. Was that something that you overlooked? Or was that a decision you made? - A decision based on the circumstances. - Where were the trigger locks found? Mr Carmody handed them over to us, with several other handguns he asked us to remove from the house. So his fingerprints were on those as well. Well, of course they were. OK, let's table this for now and move on to the next order of business. I wasn't trying to humiliate him. It's that lax kind of police work we see all too often. I have spoken to Baldwin. I am reassured he made the right decisions out there. - What are you afraid of? - We weren't out there. - You're just pressuring me! - What is there about this case? You want the FBI to question this man with the kind of evidence we've got? I send Baldwin back out there, I am going to be the point man in a tabloid media circus. - Send me. - I am not going to be strong-armed like this. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. I'm going out there. And if you say no, I understand. I'll turn in my credentials and go home for good. Because I'm not used to seeing you or myself sitting on our hands in any kind of meeting. I'll get it! - Jordan? - There's somebody here for you. What'd I tell you about answering the door without finding out who's there? Hi. I'm sorry. I told her I work with you. It's OK. Come in. Hey. What did I teach you about this? Not to answer the door because people aren't always who they say they are. OK. - I'm sorry. How can I help? - I'm sorry. I should've called. I drove around the block three times - no, more like five times - before I decided to ring the bell. - So you weren'tjust in the neighbourhood. - You're going there, aren't you? To Redland. Why? If you are, there's something I need to show you. Something Agent Baldwin left out of his report. I found this at the crime scene. I've interviewed every kid. No one wants to claim it. But there's an inscription in it to one of the cheerleaders who died, Tammy Meador. - Why don't you go up and finish packing? - OK. Is she going with you on your trip, Daddy? No, honey. Go get ready. "Skylark. " - I assume that's not the accused's writing. - No, it's not. I checked that. It's a book of prayers from the Dark Ages, which I thought was weird. Itjust doesn't seem like something you'd find in a high school gym. "The days are numbered, history counting backwards as we count forward to a new dark age. Though not all will survive, I would rather die than live knowing I didn't try to save you. " It's a warning. It means someone out there knows about this. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Путёвка в жизнь на английском - текст Американский ниндзя на английском - текст Фантастическое Путешествие на английском - текст Несносный Деннис на английском - текст Бригада на английском |
