The video clip above is from the pilot episode of the
1985-88 detective series “Spenser: For Hire” starring Robert
Urich.
In this scene you can see Spenser “taking out
the trash” so-to-speak on a cold winter day after a brief foot
chase starting at nearby Park Street Station and ending here at
the Ben Franklin Family Memorial in the Granary Burial Ground.
The bad guy had hidden behind the Franklin Memorial but to no
avail since Spenser could clearly see his exhaled breath from
behind the monument. After firing off a few warning ricochet shots
prompting the bad guy to give up, Spenser makes his approach while
verbally reminding the bad guy just where he is:
“You
picked the right graveyard punk. John Hancock is buried here;
Samuel Adams; (lower, menacing) Paul Revere!”
The two then
get in a tussle that is broken up by the arrival of the police.
