- Wouldn't be an issue if - you were on the outside. - Still tugging on - that leash, eh? - Yup. - And this is the part where I - extend a formal invitation. - 'Cause you still - think I'm D.B. Cooper? - I don't think, I know. - The way I see it, - you're in here doing 60-to-life - for vehicular manslaughter. - It would have been 20, - but the car you - were in was stolen. - Felony murder rule - cubes up your sentence, - and here you are. - Hitting that woman was an accident. - But the car? - No one accidentally - steals a car. - So the question is, - why would Charles Westmoreland - be in Arizona boosting a car - ten states away from - where he lived, - and only ten miles away - from the Mexican border? - And why, two days before that, - would someone make a phone call to - his wife from a motel in Portland, - a stone's throw away - from the airport, - out of which, shortly after, - Flight 305 was hijacked - by one D.B. Cooper. - Seven hours after - the hijacking, - records show Charles Westmoreland - was treated for a busted knee - at a free clinic - in Brigham City. - Only way to get from Portland, - Oregon, to Brigham City, Utah, - in seven hours was in a car, - breaking every land speed - record known to man, or flying. - It's public record D.B. Cooper jumped - out of that 727 about an hour after - take off. - Taking a dive at 10,000 feet
- with $1.5 million in cash - in a hastily packed parachute, - might make for a - pretty rough landing. - Rough enough to - shatter some bones, - maybe even a left knee. - D.B. Cooper would've had a car - waiting for him when he landed. - According to DMV - records in 1971, - Charles Westmoreland was the - proud owner of a '65 Chevy Nova. - As it happens, - a '65 Chevy Nova with the - registration number scraped off - was found abandoned with a blown - gasket along the Arizona border, - a mile or two away from where - you accidentally hit that woman - with your stolen car. - Interesting story. - Interesting man. - But you didn't - answer one thing. - What's that? - Maybe I did hurt my knee. - I did steal that car. - And I did accidentally - hit that poor lady. - But how could I have hijacked a - plane in Portland on November 24 - when I was in Folsom finishing up - a 30-day drunk and disorderly? - I hope you aren't hanging this - whole escape on that money, - 'cause I'm not the one - in possession of it. - Thanks for the invite though. - Veronica. - Veronica. Come on. - We're okay. - How is this okay, Nick? - Somebody just tried to kill us. - I know. I was there. - Then act like it, okay? - We just watched a man burn to - death right in front of us. - My God. - Lucasz... my God. - It's okay. It's okay. - We just left him there. - There was nothing we - could do for him. - He was dead as soon as - he opened the door. - I am trying so hard to - understand all this, Nick. - Who these people are, - what they want, - how we just walked away from there - without even calling the police. - We did it because these people we're - dealing with won't stop until - we're dead. - Now, if they think we're dead, - like they do right now, - maybe we get a little - breathing room here, - we figure out what - our next move is. - No, we should go to the police. - I've been telling myself the same thing, - but you know what? - They're bigger than the police. - Now, we go to the authorities - and all we're gonna be doing - is broadcasting to them - that we're still alive. - And then we got that target - right in our back's again. - We can't hide forever. - No, no, maybe not forever, but - I think I know a place we can, - at least for a little while. - We just have to go in - there ourselves then. - Like I said, unless the old man's in, - it's not possible. - And even if it were, - with the guards in there, - there's no way in hell they're just - gonna sit back and watch us start - a fire. - See, I already figured that part out. - I've been thinking. - And? - That thing you're doing - at the Pope's office? - Using rubber cement? - Yeah? - Can you get some out of there? - Maybe. Why? - Look, there's a coffeemaker - in the guard's room, right? - I've got a hookup with one - of my boys in the kitchen. - If we can get rubber cement in - the bottom of that coffeepot, - when the burner goes on... - It's a good idea. - But without Westmoreland, - we're never getting in that room. - He doesn't want to be - a part of the escape? - No. - Then what does he want? - He's gotta want something. - Everybody wants something. - Come on, kitty. Come on. - Yes, that's a good girl. - I don't believe it. - Thank you. - - You're welcome. - Where'd you find her? - In the yard, by the chapel. - Why do I get the feeling there's - a string attached to this? - Not a string, just a favor. - - I'm not D.B. Cooper. - - That's all right. - 'Cause it's not gonna take D.B. - Cooper to do what I need done. - What's that? - All I want you to do - is take a certain coffeepot into - the guard room at a certain time - and turn the burner on. - Why? - Let's just say it would be - in everyone's best interest - if a fire were to - start in there. - Marilyn, did you think he - was the arsonist type? - I'm not. - I'm the clean-up crew type. - The type that gets access - to all kinds of tools. - Michael, I'm grateful for this. - I really am. - But I've made it a point to keep my nose - clean ever since I walked into - this place. - 32 years without a blemish. - If that parole board date ever comes, - I wanna be ready. - I can't jeopardize that. - Sorry. - Michael. - Thanks, though. Really. - After what you went - through in the riot, - I thought you might - take a day off. - I'm fine. - I, uh, couldn't find anybody - to cover for me anyway. - I hope you don't feel - like you owe me anything. - I do. - I'm, uh... - I really appreciate - what you did for me. - But? - But you told me that you had been - up in the crawl space for PI, - and PI was never - assigned to go there. - We're done here, right? - Michael, don't be like that. - I just... - I just want some answers. - Thanks for the shot, Doc. - Sue Parsons. Headline Press. - Thanks for coming by. - I appreciate you
