>>Iím coming to get you
>> the 24 writers had to make the oh-so-brilliant decision of killing off one of the most popular
characters in the showís history [Gunshot]
>> OPRERATOR: 911 What is your emergency? >>I managed to get his gun from him and shoot
him. >> Make sure your vest is rated for the weapon
you carry, because chances are youíre gonna get shot with your own weapon.
>> They gave a whack-job like you police training? >> Dispatch said there was a fatality
>> I didnít know he was wearing a vest >> This man has confessed to me his involvement
in the *** of a former federal agent >> Is this true, Mr. Burns?
>> (Recording on cell phone) Harold Burns, did you authorize the assassination of former
federal agent Renee Walker? >> (Harold on recording) Yes!

>> What are you in for? >> I was framed
>> Right >> It all startedÖ
[Music: Back in Black]
>> UNSEEN CELLMATE: Well, six weeks and theyíre finally coming to question you, which tells
me you must be innocent. Because if you were a real criminal, you would have been out on
the streets within 48 hours of your arrest. >> OhÖI see youíre sleeping.
OFFICER ELDON : Címon Mr. Burns, we have a lot of questions to ask you.
>> Mr. Burns, Iím inspector Cortez, and youíve already met officer Eldon.
Well, Mr. Burns, it seems you have a thing for high-profile targets. Are you aware youíre
looking at being held for treason for your past crimes?
>>I havenít committed any crimes. In fact, Iím going to sue you for criminal confinement.
>>Donít tell me what youíre going to do to us. We have you on audio confessing to
the *** of a federal agent. >>Taken out of context, yeah, that would make
me look guilty. But it was part of a plot of a TV show. I authorized the writing-off
of a fictional character. Thereís no crime in that.
>> Look at the stack of evidence, Harold. All the crimes in these files point back to
you. >> Are you people for real? Is this some kind
of sick joke? Am I being punkíd or something? >> I assure you, Mr. Burns, we are very real.
And I, for one, have little patience for baby killers, do you understand me?
[classical music]
(with heavy reverberation) Do you understand me?
>> But I didnít kill anybody.
Hey, look, you guys never gave me a phone call. Iím entitled to one phone call, and
I want it now. >>A phone call now is not going to do you
any good. But you are right, you are entitled to it.
>> I want to use my phone.
Can I have some privacy please?
Hello. Hey, itís Harold. Are you free for the momentÖ.good, I need you to bring me
something right now. >>What does he think heís gonna do? Thereís
no lawyer in the world good enough to get hi out of this.
>> I donít know. Youíd be amazed at what Iíve seen people get away with. But Iíve
never seen this much hard evidence against one person before. The things heís been involved
inÖ >> HAROLD: Okay, Iím finished.
INSPECTOR CORTEZ: Now then, letís take a look at what you have done over the years.
Authorized a hit on a senator who was well poised on becoming the nations first black
president. >>That was actor Dennis Haysbert. It was a
TV show. He was eventually assassinated on the show. The actor is alive and well. Surely
youíve seen an Allstate commercial. >> Mr. burns, please let me finish, then you
can submit your rebuttal. Now then, youíve been involved in several
attempts to release bio-weapons, as well as a plot to detonate a small nuclear device
on U.S. soil. That alone could get you the death penalty.
You authorized the killing of CTU agent Ryan Chapelle, and turned his body over to a terrorist.
>> You know, Mr. Burns, I could kill you right now, and it would be a public service.
>> Iím innocent until proven guilty, right? >> Fat chance of proving your innocence.
>> Caused a meltdown of nuclear power plants all across America. Stole a stealth fighter
and attempted to shoot down Air Force One. Killed ex-agent Michelle Dessler in a car
bomb, took 40 people hostage at Toronto national airport, kidnapped a U.S. president.
Used a CIP device to alter the readings of navigational instrumentation on commercial
aircraft, and I havenít even read half of the list!
How the hell have you been free all this time?! >> Youíll see. The evidence that will clear
me should be here any minute. Maybe you wanna run a check on that son of a *** that framed
me. >>Okay, officer Eldon. Would you please entertain
this low life, piece of filth terrorist scumbag? >> Sure thing, Inspector.
HAROLD: I donít know if itís possible to sue a police department out of business, you
have no idea how strong of a case I have against you right now.
>> And I think you know exactly how strong of a case we have against you.
>> Is this bogus interrogation being recorded? >> Itís not bogus, and yes, it is being recorded.
>> Youíre gonna look like such fools.
CORTEZ: RÖRaymond Walker. Expert marksman, versed in several styles of armed and unarmed
combat. Medical degree. Well (sarcastically) looking real bad so far.
Here we go, several restraining orders for stalking.
Wow, those are some really hot babes. >>Iím in the room, you know.
>> Sorry. [knock on the door]
Whatís this all about? >> Just grab one and start reading the storyline.
Well, go on. Read a couple more
Now, watch this
CORTEZ: um. Mr. Burns, youíre free to go. This has all been a big misunderstanding.
WeÖ >> I donít want to hear it. You bumbling
idiots took six weeks of my life.
[music]
Hey, Iím finally out. Everything got cleared up.
Do you have your voice pitch modulator handy?
Can you link that while Iím on the phone. Good.
Iím gonna send you a file with a femaleís voice on it.
In the meantime, I want you to look up Raymond Walker for me. When you get him, link me through
with the file synced. Oh, really? Where did you put it?
In the cabinet in the garage? OK.
Yes, can I speak to inspector Cortez please? This is Harold Burns. After I made the phone
call I recorded everything that was said. If you try anything, itíll go viral so fast
you wonít know what hit you. Trust me, some heads are gonna roll.
Hello. Yeah. Iím ready. Do it.
Hello, Mr. Walker? This is officer Eldon (Eldonís voice) Weíre at Mr. Burns residence gathering
evidence. And we found something we think you might be able to answer some questions
about. >>Yeah, sure, Iíll be right there.
>>Okay. Thank you very much.
