thomas decided to surprise him from a safe distance. >> hey, sir! hey, sir! i'm calling for james ford seale. my name is thomas james moore.eddie moore. son of a bitch ran inside. the whole bunch of them. all of them. they ran inside. why don't you come out and be a man! all i want to do is talk to you. i hope to see you in court. i confront him, he ran in his trailer. i'm not going to kill his ass, he's not worth it. >> it was at this point that moore detailed plans to confront seale and edwards began to crystallize in thomas' mind. he would proceed along several tracks, and try to continue approaching edwards, the weak link in the case, and try to get him to confess, and simultaneously apply pressure on seale, whom thomas felt was more dangerous, by using other tactics. and finally while confronting these men could lead to something important, thomas knew he would need higher powered allies to close the deal. he already met disappointment at the state level with d.a. ronnie harper. now we'd made an appointment to see the federal u.s. attorney. would he be the one to give thomas moore some hope? >> could you turn it on? >
