Bobby Boyajian's brothers tell us that you two guys took the kid apart in the wedding chapel in La Jolla, and now he's dead. So don't sit there like butter wouldn't melt in your mouths!
I don't care what they say, we didn't start anything, it was Boyajian himself.
That's right, they're a bunch of liars, if you've ever dealt with the Boyajians, you'd know what creeps they are!
Mr. Martin, Bobby's sister Regine said that you telephoned her at Azie Boyajian's house last night, you tried to arrange a meeting with her brother so you could iron out some problems, is that right?
Wait a minute, Angel, you did what?
Regine can't testify against me, she's my legal wife.
Regine hung up on you, Mr. Martin, so maybe you telephoned Bobby at his home and he agreed to meet you.
Bobby's wound was point-blank. It had to be somebody who knew him, somebody who could walk right up to him.
Right. So what I'm saying is this: you (points at Angel), or you (points at Jim) or both of you met Bobby and got what you really wanted, which wasn't to iron out any problems, but to fill the kid's face with double-aught buckshot!
It was birdshot, Lieutenant!
[Slams her purse on table] Birdshot, buckshot, how much speculation do we have to listen to?! You may have a motive, maybe opportunity, but do you have an eyewitness, a weapon, anything that's at all solid?
Well, I think that ought to take care of that. I don't think the District Attorney's office is gonna file on loose charges, will they?
Sit down, Rockford!
What for, you can't file a charge?
Not on the homicide, not yet. But I've got you on fraud, grand theft! Complaint signed by the Boyajian brothers. Sergeant, get somebody from the Bunko Squad up here, book these guys for the Red Barn Con. [Dennis leaves. Chapman removes the visitors' passes from Rockford and Angel's chests] Like I said, sit down, gentlemen.
[Jim angrily glares at Angel]
