Case of the Assassin in the Dark

Mr. District Attorney, starring David Bryan. Mr. District Attorney, champion of the people, defender of truth, guardian of our fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now tonight's story, the case of the assassin in the dark. And now here is our star, David Bryan as Paul Garrett, Mr. District Attorney.

The criminal is a cunning animal. He trains himself to break the law, just as a district attorney trains himself to enforce it. Each regards the other as an enemy, and enmity leads inevitably to violence.

When violence was far from my mind, the night this started. Harrington and I were driving home from the annual police frolics. What are you laughing at, Aimee? Oh, those cops dressed up like cank and girls in that chorus now, but you ever see anything like their chief?

They were very funny. and the commissioner, old Stone face himself. I almost died when he did that imitation of that day, man. You know, might of June come up and see me sometime. The commissioner's a good sport.

Yeah, tonight. But like one of the boys goop on the assignment tomorrow and woo, woo the roof. That's his job, Harrington. Things go wrong. He catches it from the mayor. Oh, speaking of the mayor chief, he's worried about you.

About me? Why? I'll give it to you two words. Johnny Jeanette. Oh, forget it. The parole board never should let him out. The parole board had no choice, Harrington. Jeanette, he served his minimum time. He's been a model prisoner for six years. He's entitled to a break.

You mean you told the parole board that in your recommendations? Yes. For a guy who swore he'd get you the minute they put him on the streets? Harrington and I have heard the same threat a hundred times. From a hundred different men.
