Mr Paine, does the Attorney General's
office have any final remarks?

:04:38

May I remind the committee that Frank
Mantajano is an execrable criminal,

:04:43

moving Cuban organized crime
into America.

:04:45

I object to that characterization
of my client.

:04:48

The Attorney General's office is making
accusations, disguising them as truth.

:04:53

The fact is, my client
has never been convicted of any crime.

:04:56

- But he will be, Mr Foster.
- That's enough, gentlemen.

:04:59

This committee will stand in recess
until 10am Monday,

:05:02

at which time I hope that the Attorney
General's office will have evidence

:05:06

to back up their accusations.

:05:09

- I'll produce it all right.
- Good. We're adjourned.

:05:14

Our witness is dead.

:05:25

My witness is dead?

:05:27

- Mantajano's people got to him.
- He was in a safe house. How?

:05:30

Some Cuban delivered him
a carton of Chinese food full of C-4.

:05:34

I just told the Committee on Organized
Crime and 60 million TV viewers

:05:38

that I would produce a witness
in 72 hours.

:05:40

I understand,
but what are we going to do about it?

:05:43

"We"? As a federal marshal,
you are directly responsible

:05:46

for the custody and protection
of all witnesses.

:05:49

So the problem is,
you got my witness killed.

:05:52

You do something about it
by Monday morning

:05:56

or start thinking about
an early retirement.
