00:38:17This sniper Ryan is very specific with his target
00:38:23Build a more general anger among the people
00:38:28Perhaps he can begin with random shootings of innocent Vietnamese. He so obviously hates
00:38:46Sarge sure, we're not lost
00:38:50Seems to be down this way already
00:38:54Takes a while to navigate around the countryside, you know

00:41:23You got to be sure walk the papers through yourself
00:41:32I'd heard the agency had set up my old a team in a grand style, but this was ridiculous
00:41:38It looked like the Bel Air Country Club. I
00:41:41Guess it's not surprising those guys were all a bunch of dog robbers real operators

00:47:30While Albertson Jackson cleared me with the Provost Marshal. I had the guys stick close to the prosecutor
00:47:35I figured Tim would be on this little weasels case next if we could grab Tim first, maybe he still had a chance
00:47:48You think Tim really got something to do with that Catholic school shit

00:55:00A little drugstore had enough smack to keep the whole NVA flying high for a year
00:55:30By this

00:56:01Lassiter now, would you please comment on your connections to the heroin smuggling being conducted in the Saigon rice warehouse on the waterfront?
00:56:08This is preposterous. I
00:56:13Know nothing about any warehouse much less any criminal activities taking place there. I'll take someone else's question
