The police station
“Tad? Why are you being brought to my police station?”Asks Jesse
“We found the perp standing over the body sir knife in his hand.” Explains the police officer
“What have you done now Thaddeus J. Martin.” asks Jesse
“I swear on my children’s lives I didn’t do this.”Tad says”I know it looks bad Jesse but you have to believe me.”
“I have to talk to this is officer sit tight Martin.” Jesse says
Jesse has a deep conversation with the officer as we watch with Tad from a distance. Jesse comes back to Tad’s side
“You have to believe me Jesse. I know how it looks but I didn’t kill Iris Blanco.”Tad begs
“I’m the police chief Tad and you’ve put in a bad position. I can’t favour you even if I believe you.”Jesse says “may advice call your lawyer and don’t say a word until he’s here. You’re going to need one. ”Jesse says
Jesse takes Tad into an interview room where he removes the handcuffs and hands Tad the phone. He then goes out into the outer room and barks
“Monroe.”
“Yes sir.” Brot says
“I’m recusing myself from this investigation because I’m so close to Tad but I expect to you to do a complete investigation in to this murder. “Jesse states
“Yes sir.”Brot says and starts by going to talk to the police officer who came on the scene of Iris Blanco’s murder
Jack arrives
“I’d like to see my client please.”Jack asks of Jesse
“Right this way counsellor.”Jesse says taking him Tad and leaving them alone
“So tell me Tad what happened?”Jack asks
“I went to the Mayor’s house and I heard something I hid in the closet. I heard some shouting.” Tad says
Flashback to Tad remembering and see him in the closet and realize the shouting was coming from Jesse
Flashback to Tad talking to Jack but not mentioning Jesse
“A number of other people came in. I heard footsteps voices. I think one of them must have stabbed Iris. I came out of the closet she was on the floor and she was trying to take the knife out of her back. I had to stop her Jack. I heard that you shouldn’t do that that the knife might be keeping you alive that once it’s out you die. And that’s what happened she manage to get it out and it was in my hand .The cops came in and she died .They arrested me.”Tad states
‘”You have gotten yourself in fine mess Tad. The police will investigate they’ll say you have motive opportunity and they caught you red handed. We can try and find the killer with an investigator but unless we do you’ll probably be convicted Tad.” says Jack
“I’m going to jail?”Asks Tad
“Not if I can help it Tad I’ll do my best.” Jack says “the first step getting you arraigned and out on bail.”
“Thanks Jack!” Tad says
“Thank me later Tad.” Jack says
