SEE YOU
AROUND, CHAMBERS.
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.
WHERE YOU AT, WHERE
YOU AT, WHERE YOU AT?
HA, HA, HA!
YOU DIDN' FORGET IT!
I MISSED YOU SO
MUCH, JUNE BOY!
OH, LOOK AT YOU.
BOOTSIE!
WHAT THE-
WHAT IS THIS?
GAH!
LET'S GET IN HERE, BOY;
LET'S GET OUT, COME ON!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THE RV YOU GOT US.
IT'S A LITTLE BEAT UP,
BUT IT'LL GET US TO BIG SUR.
GOOD JOB, SON.
DAD...
I DON'T HAVE A GOOD
FEELING ABOUT THIS.
HEY, THIS WON' TAKE LONG.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO THIS.
YEAH, I DO.
WHY?
WHY?
BECAUSE IF I DON'T,
THE TROUBLE'S GONNA FIND ME.
AND I GOTTA CU IT CLEAN.
DAD...
STOP, LISTEN.
ONE MORE TIME.
I PROMISE,
ONE MORE TIME.
AND WE'RE FREE.
OKAY?
YOU'VE SAID
THAT BEFORE.
THIS TIME IS
DIFFERENT.
SAID THAT TOO.
I'LL BE BACK.
WELL, BOYS.
THE PRODIGAL SON
HAS RETURNED.
UM...
MR. GATES,
THE THREE OF US...
THE THREE OF US,
WE'RE OUT.
WHAT'S THAT?
THAT'S THE AMOUN FROM THE LAST GIG.
THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH IN
THERE TO COVER WHAT I OWE YOU.
WHERE YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA GO?
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA DO?
YOU'RE CONS.
EX...
EX-CONS.
EX-CONS.
SORRY, SUNSHINE.
BUT THE WORLD'S NO GONNA SEE YOU LIKE THAT.
LIKE AN EX-CON.
I JUST WANT A SECOND
SHOT WITH ME AND MY BOY.
THAT'S JUST HEART-BREAKING.
BUT WHAT YOU ALL NEED
AIN'T GONNA FIT IN THAT BAG.
COME ON, DAD.
HURRY UP.
FORGET THIS.
I UNDERSTAND BUT...
WE JUST DON'T WAN ANY BLOODSHED.
MR. GATES...
WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING
YOU'VE DONE; WE'RE GRATEFUL.
YOU'RE GRATEFUL?
BUT WE'VE
CHANGED.
CHANGED?
YOU WANT OUT.
THINK ABOUT THE THINGS
THAT WE'VE SEEN
AND WE'VE DONE
TOGETHER.
OH, NO...
THERE'S NO
GETTING OUT.
LET ME TELL
A STORY.
WHEN I WAS A KID
GROWING UP IN SCOTLAND,
MY OLD MAN USED
TO BREED CHICKENS.
ONE NIGHT WHEN HE WAS
ON HIS USUAL BENDER,
I HEARD THIS NOISE COMING
FROM THE HEN HOUSE.
AND IT WAS THIS RED
FOX STANDING THERE
WITH A HEN IN HIS MOUTH.
SO I RAISED UP MY END FIELD
AND I HAD HIM IN MY SIGHTS.
AYE, HE WAS THERE.
I COULDN'T PULL
THE TRIGGER.
COULDN'T DO IT.
SO THE NEXT DAY...
DADDY DEAR, IS STANDING
WAITING FOR ME
WITH A LEATHER STRAP.
AND HE BEAT ME WITH
THAT THING FOR AN HOUR.
SO LATER THAT NIGHT,
WHEN THE FOX CAME BACK
I OPENED UP THE COOP
AND I LET HIM IN.
AND HE KILLED EVERY
ONE OF THEM CHICKENS.
AND THAT WAS THE LAS FOX I EVER LET AWAY.
MR. GATES PLEASE.
WE JUST WAN A CLEAN SLATE, OKAY?
I DID WHAT YOU
ASKED US TO DO.
PLEASE.
SLEEP TIGHT,
YOU TWO.
YOU'RE WONDERING
WHY YOU'RE STILL ALIVE,
AREN'T YA?
I GOT ONE MORE
JOB FOR YOU.
OH, I THINK YOU WILL.
DAD?
STOP, SON STOP!
WHOA, LITTLE LEAK.
YOU DO THIS JOB FOR
ME, YOU AND THE BOY GET TO LIVE.
MY BOY HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS.
WELL, THAT'S A SHAME.
THEN THE BOY HAS TO DIE
FOR THE SINS OF HIS FATHER.
SHOOT HIM.
NO, NO!
STOP, DON'T!
I'LL DO IT.
DAD!
OF COURSE YOU WILL.
GOOD BOY.
PARKER, WE DON' HAVE TO DO THIS.
YOU CAN DROP THE CRIMINAL
CHARGES AND WE CAN
ALL JUST WALK AWAY.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
MAY I?
PLEASE.
WHAT IS THIS?
THAT'S THE NUMBER MY CLIENT'S
PREPARED TO SUE YOUR CLIENT FOR.
YOU SEE...
HE FEELS THIS NUMBER'S
NECESSARY TO EASE THE PAIN
AND SUFFERING AND THE INJURIES
HE SUSTAINED FROM HIS FALL.
YOU
CRACK ME UP.
SEE, THIS IS ABOU THE CRIMINAL CHARGES
OF SHOPLIFTING
AGAINST YOUR CLIENT,
NOT SOME DRUMMED UP CIVIL CASE.
YOU AND I ARE JUS HAVING A FRIENDLY DISCOURSE,
BEFORE WE PASS THE POIN OF NO RETURN.
I JUST THINK YOU DON' WANT TO GO TO TRIAL
'CAUSE YOU KNOW
YOU'LL LOSE.
WHAT'S YOUR WIN
STREAK UP TO?
WOW.
BUT THE POIN I WANT TO MAKE...
IS THAT MY CLIENT SLIPPED
ON A WET FLOOR
NATIONAL ELECTRONIC
RETAIL STORES.
CASEY...
IT'S NOT ROBBING IF YOU
NEVER LEAVE THE STORE.
I'M NOT STEALING THIS PEN.
I'M MERELY HOLDING IT,
OPENLY IN YOUR PRESENCE
WITHOUT ANY CURREN OBJECTIONS FROM YOU.
THE JANITOR WILL TESTIFY THA HE WAS RUNNING FOR THE EXIT.
THAT'S INTENT.
AREN'T THE CASH REGISTERS
RIGHT BY THE EXIT?
I THINK WE'LL TAKE OUR
CHANCES IN COURT.
PARKER, WHAT DID THE JANITOR
SAY TO MY CLIENT IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE ACCIDENT?
I'M LOOKING.
HIS FIRST WORDS WERE,
"I'M SORRY."
"I'M SORRY, I FORGO THE SIGN."
THE BIG, YELLOW WARNING SIGN
THAT NEVER LEFT HIS CART.
NOW AN EMPLOYEE OF YOUR CLIEN APOLOGIZED TO MY CLIEN MOMENTS AFTER THE INCIDENT.
AND HE KNEW THAT HE HAD DUTY
OF CARE TO PLACE THAT SIGN OU SO CUSTOMERS WOULD KNOW
THAT THAT FLOOR WAS WET.
NOW I SUGGEST YOU
DROP THOSE CHARGES
BEFORE THIS BECOMES
AN ACTUAL LAWSUIT.
LIKE I SAID, WE CAN
ALL JUST WALK AWAY.
OH...
DON'T FORGET THIS.
40...
HAVE A GOOD DAY, PARKER.
BEFORE YOU GO AND
THANK ME, DON'T.
I DIDN'T DO YOU
ANY FAVORS.
I WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU BECAUSE
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A LAWYER.
I DID WHAT WAS MY LEGAL
RESPONSIBILITY.
EVERYONE'S ENTITLED
TO A VIGOROUS DEFENSE.
BUT LET'S GET ONE THING
STRAIGHT HERE, POLO...
IF YOU END UP BACK IN COUR AGAIN, I AM NOT GONNA BE HERE
TO SAVE YOUR SORRY TAIL.
NOPE!
DON'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT SUING.
A SECOND CHANCE IS WORTH
A LOT MORE THAN MONEY.
NOW GO ON, GET.
AFTER TEN YEARS
I WOULD'VE AT LEAS THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE
CHANGED THE LOCKS.
PRU.
YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS DID
HAVE A KNACK FOR BEING
ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME.
MY BROTHER'S
IN TROUBLE.
HE'S ALWAYS
IN TROUBLE.
NOT LIKE THIS.
WHAT'S JAY GOTTEN
HIMSELF INTO THIS TIME?
IT'S MURDER.
MURDER?
WHO'D HE GO AND KILL?
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
A DA, HUH?
YOUR BROTHER'S HI THE BIG TIME, BABE.
THE ARRAIGNMENT'S
ON MONDAY.
BACK IN CHEROKEE HILLS?
I DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE ELSE TO GO.
HOW'S YOUR WINNING STREAK?
WELL, I'M GLAD OUR DIVORCE
WASN'T FOR NOTHING.
PRU, NOW LISTEN.
WILL YOU DEFEND
HIM OR NOT?
YOU'RE THE BES LAWYER I KNOW.
YOU WANT ME TO
DEFEND YOUR BROTHER,
THE SAME BROTHER THAT WE'VE
GIVEN A SMALL FORTUNE TO?
THE BROTHER WHO WE BAILED
OUT, DROPPED OFF, TAKEN IN
AND RESCUED MORE TIMES
THAN A DOG'S HAD FLEAS?
YEAH.
YOU REMEMBER THE TIME
HE STAYED OVER AND STOLE
MY GRANDMOTHER'S SILVER?
YEAH.
YEAH, REMEMBER THE
TIME HE TOOK MR. DARCY-
OKAY LOOK, MY LIST IS LONGER
THAN YOURS, OKAY CASEY?
RIGHT.
BUT, JAY'S FAMILY.
HIS WHOLE LIFE'S BEEN
ON A DOWNHILL ROLL.
ARE YOU REALLY SURPRISED THA THIS IS WHERE HE'S LANDED?
STILL WEARING
YOUR WATCH.
I REMEMBER BUYING
IT FOR YOU.
IT STOPPED WORKING
A YEAR AGO.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GET A NEW ONE?
SOME THINGS ARE WORTH
HANGING ONTO.
BESIDES I'D RATHER
GET IT FIXED.
WELL...
YOU MAY LOOK DIFFERENT BU YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A LICK.
STILL TOO BUSY.
PRU...
WHAT GOOD'S A WINNING STREAK IF
YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO RISK IT?
THANK YOU, CASEY.
WE'VE GOT A
10-91 AT THE COURT HOUSE.
SUSPECT, JAY CHAMBERS,
IN CUSTODY.
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING
BEFORE LIGHTS OUT?
I GOT THE SANDS OF TIME.
I GOT JONAH AND THE WHALE.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT,
BROTHER.
HEY, YOU TELL GATES I DID
EVERYTHING HE ASKED, ALRIGHT?
I DID EVERYTHING THAT HE ASKED.
WELL THEN, YOU JUST KEEP
ON PLAYING THE GAME.
YEAH, THAT AIN' PART OF THE DEAL.
'CAUSE YOU
GOT CAUGHT.
NOW...
YOU DON'T TALK
TO NO LAWYERS.
DON'T TITTER-TATTER
TO YOUR SISTER.
YOU KNOW WE'LL
KNOW IF YOU DO.
IF YOU DO...
WELL...
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
GONNA HAVE TO DO.
WHERE'S KIT?
WHERE'S MY BOY?
WHERE IS MY BOY?
OOF!

JUST LIKE A LITTLE
BIRD IN THE HAND.
IF YOU LAY ONE HAND
ON MY BOY, OKAY?
ONE HAND AND I

OH, YOU'RE GONNA RIP MY?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
GO ON A HUNGER STRIKE?
YOU GONNA WRITE THE LAWYERS?
GONNA SPEAK TO THE GOVERNOR?
YOU KNOW, WE KNOW
THAT YOU GO AN OUTSIDE PINCH-HITTER
COMING IN --
YOUR BROTHER IN LAW.
I'VE ALWAYS HATED LAWYERS.
PLEASE, PLEASE JUS GIVE ME A HALF
A REASON TO HURT HIM.
SLEEP SWEET.
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
HEY!
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
YOU LOOK LOST.
NO, JUS CALIBRATING.
LOOKING FOR THE COURTROOM
WHERE THEY'RE HOLDING
BEN WINGWRIGHT, JUST SWORN
IN AS SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.
OH!
CASEY McKAY,
DEFENSE COUNSEL.
DID THEY BRING YOU
IN FROM ANOTHER COUNTY?
NO, BROUGHT ME IN
FROM RETIREMENT.
I WAS FISHING IN THE OZARKS.
- REALLY?
- YEAH, YEAH.
THEY BROUGHT IN JUDGE THORNE
FROM TWO COUNTIES OVER
FOR THE CASE, TOO.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
COURTROOM'S UPSTAIRS.
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED
THIS COURTROOM;
IT'S A THING OF BEAUTY.
THE WINDOWS ARE
THE ORIGINAL PANES,
THE SEATS WERE REFURBISHED
FROM THE ORIGINAL BLEACHERS
OF FENWAY PARK.
GO FIGURE.
I'M GLAD TO HAVE RUN
INTO YOU, MR. WINGWRIGHT.
PLEASE, BEN'S EASIER.
BEN.
I WAS THINKING THAT BEFORE
I MET WITH MY CLIENT HERE-
HE'S KIN,
ISN'T HE?
HE IS, BY
ASSOCIATION.
HE JUST SORTA CAME
WITH THE EX-WIFE.
SO IT'S A
FAVOR TO HER.
I WAS HOPING TO TES THE WATERS ON A PLEA DEAL.
25?
HMM.
40?
BE OUT IN 20.
HM.
HOW ABOUT PLEA GUILTY
TO TRESPASSING AND
CARRYING AN ILLEGAL
FIREARM?
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
A LEG TO STAND ON.
DON'T YOU CARE THA JUSTICE IS DONE AT ALL?
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
EVERYONE'S INNOCEN TILL PROVEN GUILTY.
AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
HE'S ALREADY STANDING.
WELL, MR. McKAY CALL ME
OLD FASHIONED BUT I THINK
WE OUGHT TO LET TRUTH
DECIDE THIS CASE.
YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW JUS GRADUATED FROM NE'ER-DO-WELL
SO NO SIR, THERE WILL BE NO
PLEA DEAL, NOT FOR MURDER ONE.
NOT FOR HENRY PATRICK JENKINS
OUR LATE DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
AND CERTAINLY NOT FOR
THE LIKES OF JAY CHAMBERS,
A MAN KNOWN TO THROW BRICKS
AT CARS FROM THE OVERPASS.
Y'ALL HAVE
AN OVERPASS?
OH, HEY I'M GONNA NEED THAT.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE NOTES.
I KNOW HE'S A MURDER
SUSPECT, BUT HE'S NO GONNA DOODLE ME TO DEATH.
SORRY,
JUDGE'S ORDERS.
WELL, I SEE MY SISTER
STILL GETS YOU TO DO
PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER
SHE WANTS.
SO YOU HERE TO
SAVE THE DAY?
HOW ABOUT WE STAR SAVING YOUR LIFE?
YOU ALWAYS WERE THE LEAS FAVORITE OF PRU'S HUSBANDS.
WELL, CONSIDERING
SHE ONLY HAD ONE,
I'LL TAKE THA AS A COMPLIMENT.
SO WHAT'S
THE DEAL, JAY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, I KILLED SOMEBODY.
I ALSO HEARD THAT SOMEBODY
CREPT INTO THE COURTHOUSE
WEARING A MASK AND
KILLED THE DA.
HENRY PATRICK JENKINS.
THAT THEY'VE CONFIRMED
YOUR FINGERPRINTS ON
THE GUN AND YOUR BOO PRINTS ON THE FLOOR.
BUT, THE THING THAT REALLY
MADE THE EXECUTIONER
SMILE EXTRA WIDE
IS THE FAC THAT THEY NABBED YOU FLEEING
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
WITH ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED
ON YOUR PERSON.
WHAT...
WHAT DO YOU
WANT FROM ME?
HOW ABOUT YOU STAR BY ELABORATING.
NAH, I CAN'T.
JAY, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
I REMEMBER YOU USED
TO LIKE PUZZLES, RIGHT?
READ THIS PAPER.
THERE'S A GOOD ONE
IN THERE FOR YA.
ALL RISE!
THE HONORABLE
JUDGE THORNE PRESIDING.
THE STATE OF GEORGIA
VERSUS STEVEN JAY CHAMBERS.
COUNSELOR...
YOUR CLIENT'S BEEN
CHARGED WITH...
FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
HOW DO YOU PLEAD?
GUILTY.
NOT GUILTY,
YOUR HONOR.
SHH.
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
YOU ARE NOT GONNA HAVE
A LEG TO STAND ON
IF YOU PLEAD THAT.
DO WE NEED TO TAKE A RECESS
WHILE YOU AND YOUR CLIEN DISCUSS HOW HE'D
LIKE TO PLEAD?
NO, YOUR HONOR.
NOT GUILTY.
YOUR HONOR, I'D ALSO LIKE TO
MOTION FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE.
ON WHAT GROUNDS?
SEVERAL,
YOUR HONOR.
SUCH AS?
I'D RATHER NOT HAVE THE JURY
SITTING IN THE SHADOW
OF THE CRIME SCENE,
YOUR HONOR.
THE CRIME SCENE IS WHAT IT IS,
WHETHER YOUR CLIEN COMMITTED THE
MURDER OR NOT.
MR... UH.
McKAY,
YOUR HONOR.
MR. McKAY THERE'S BEEN
MORE BLOOD SHED
WITHIN THE SHADOW
OF THAT JURY BOX
THAN YOU'D CARE TO KNOW.
THIS BUILDING
STOOD BETWEEN SHERMAN
AND THE SEA.
THERE WAS THE ASSASSINATION
OF JUDGE CALIBER IN '63.
THE RIOTS OF '74.
IF I KEEL OVER DEAD
RIGHT NOW...
I EXPECT COURT TO
BE IN SESSION AFTER LUNCH.
YES,
YOUR HONOR.
I JUST...
I'M NOT SURE THAT MY CLIEN CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL
OF HIS PEERS
IN THIS COMMUNITY
BASED ON
HIS PAST INDISCRETIONS.
I FEEL THAT A LOCAL JURY
WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME
LOOKING PAST THEIR OWN PREJUDICE
AND PRECONCEPTIONS OF
WHO MR. CHAMBERS WAS.
MR. McKAY, THIS COUNTY
IS MADE UP OF HARD-WORKING,
GOD-FEARING,
HONORABLE MEN AND WOMEN.
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO FIND A FAIR
AND IMPARTIAL JURY.
I UNDERSTAND THAT,
BUT I'D PREFER AN OUTSIDE
JURY POOL, YOUR HONOR.
SINCE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PICK YOUR JURY
YOU CAN STRIKE ANYONE
YOU'D DEEM UNFIT.
THE NEWS OF A MURDERED
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
TRAVELS FAR AND WIDE
ACROSS COUNTY LINES.
I'M NOT ABOUT TO SHIP
THAT OFF TO ANOTHER COUNTY.
NOT WITHOUT EVIDENCE THA HE CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL.
MOTION DENIED.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
WE'LL SE THE TRIAL FOR...
NOVEMBER 10th.
NOVEMBER 10th,
YOUR HONOR?
EVERYONE HAS A RIGH TO A SPEEDY TRIAL.
THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT HERE.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
COUR IS ADJOURNED.
SO 30 YEARS AGO, PRUDENCE
CHAMBERS MOVES TO NASHVILLE.
AND WHETHER IT'S BIG CITY
INEXPERIENCE OR JUST IGNORANCE,
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW IF YOU
WIND UP IN THE WRONG PAR OF TOWN AT THE WRONG
TIME OF DAY,
SOMEBODY'S GONNA WAN YOUR POCKETBOOK.
YOU TAKE IT BLACK, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
BUT FORTUNATELY...
SHE WAS RESCUED
BY A BRASH, YOUNG LAWYER
WHO TOOK DOWN HER ASSAILAN USING ONLY HIS BRIEFCASE.
A BRIEFCASE?
MMM.
LIKE MY GRAND-PAPPY USED
TO SAY, "YOU DON'T PICK
A FIGHT WITH A LAWYER."
HER ASSAILANT GO 15 YEARS IN PRISON,
AND CASEY GOT A DATE.
AND THEN, HE GO A FUTURE WIFE.
HUH.
WELL, NOW EVEN THOUGH
HE'S A NATURAL-BORN ASTROS FAN,
CASEY McKAY COMES FROM THREE
GENERATIONS OF TEXAS RANGERS.
INSTEAD OF BECOMING A LAWMAN,
HE BECAME A LAWYER,
MOVED TO NASHVILLE, WON A COUPLE
OF BIG CASES AND THEN HE PU TOGETHER A LITTLE STREAK.
BUT THEN, HE AND PRU GO DIVORCED AND SHE
MOVED BACK HOME.
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL
CAREER COLLATERAL DAMAGE.
WELL...
YOU TOLD ME WHA I NEED TO KNOW.
HMM.
THANK YOU.
AND WHAT IS THAT?
THAT THIS WILL BE A LONG,
DRAWN-OUT TRIAL THAT'LL DRAG
THIS COUNTY BEHIND IT LIKE
CANS ON A WEDDING CAR.
HMM.
WELL, MAYBE IT NEEDS
TO BE SHAKEN UP
A LITTLE BIT AROUND HERE.
I'M GETTIN' BORED.
- HEY!
- HEY.
SO...
NO PLEA?
FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER WE'RE
LUCKY JAY'S NOT ALREADY
SWINGING FROM A TREE.
SO, YEAH, NO PLEA.
SO WHAT'S THE PLAN?
YOUR BROTHER'S HOLDING I PRETTY CLOSE TO THE CHEST.
BUT, HE'S HIDING SOMETHING.
OR MAYBE HE'S
PROTECTING SOMEONE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
MAYBE HE'S...
PROTECTING KIT.
I MEAN, NO ONE'S SEEN HIM
SINCE THE SHOOTING.
HMM.
SAY, DO THE WORDS
"GO TO FORBS"
MEAN ANYTHING
TO YOU?
YEAH, IT'S THE BES I CAN DO RIGHT NOW.
BOOTS...
FROG.
BOOTS AND FROG ARE
TWO OF HIS BUDDIES.
WHAT?
NOW HOW'D
YOU DO THAT?
JAY AND I USED TO...
PLAY WORD
SCRAMBLES AS KIDS.
BUT BOOTS AND FROGS WERE
TO PICK HIM UP FROM PRISON.
BUT THEN YOU'VE
GOT TO FIND-
THEN YOU'VE GO TO FIND MY NEPHEW.
YEAH, WHAT I NEED
IS AN INVESTIGATOR
A GOOD ONE;
ONE THAT I CAN TRUST.
ANY SUGGESTIONS
IN THIS TOWN?
YEAH, I KNOW SOMEONE.
BOSS WANTS
TO SEE YOU.
OH, OKAY.
SO I DON'T GET TO
HAVE MY TOYS, HUH?
MR. EX.
GATES!
SORRY
ABOUT THE RATHER NOISY INTRUSION.
HOPEFULLY I DIDN'T DISTURB
TOO MANY OF YOUR GUESTS.
NO, NO.
- NICE CAR, THOUGH.
- YEAH.
HOW IS THIS HOSPITALITY
BUSINESS WORKING OUT FOR YA?
WELL, IT'S A LITTLE
SLOW THESE DAYS.
BUT AS LONG AS IT KEEPS
YOUR KNICKERS IN A KNOT,
I'M HAPPY.
THAT'S
HURTIN' MY FEELINGS.
AND IT'S GONNA HUR ME EVEN MORE
WHEN I DO WHA I'M GONNA DO.
YOU KNOW, I COULD
TELL BY YOUR FACE
THAT YOU'RE IN
A LOT OF PAIN.
WHOA, NOW!
OOH!
WHOA, WHOA.
OH SORRY, SORRY;
IT'S JUST A REFLEX.
OH!
SEE...
YOU BRING THIS
ON YOURSELF.
YEAH, MY FIRST SERGEANT TOLD
ME I WAS A GLUTTON FOR PAIN.
OR MAYBE THAT WAS
MY SECOND WIFE.
I GET THEM MIXED UP.
WELL YOU
MUST THINK YOU'RE A CLEVER MAN
BUYING THIS LITTLE
COCKROACH MOTEL.
THE THING IS, YOU FORGO TO GET THE PARKING LOT.
OH, I'M SORRY,
DID YOU NEED THIS PLOT?
THAT DOG TRACK'S GOING AHEAD.
IT'S INEVITABLE.
I DON'T KNOW.
BY THE TIME I GET DONE WITH YOU,
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA
BE ABLE TO RUN FOR LIBRARIAN,
MUCH LESS MAYOR.
YOU SEE...
YOU DO THIS
TO YOURSELF.
YEAH, IT WAS DEFINITELY
MY SECOND WIFE THAT SAID THAT.
HAVE AT IT.
OH NO, HERE
COMES GILLIGAN.
NEED A STOOL THERE,
LITTLE BUDDY?
CAN YOU REACH ME?
GAH!
THAT DIDN'T HURT.
YOU GO AHEAD
AND FINISH THAT OFF.
I'VE GOT A LONG
MEMORY, LURCH.
BETTER MAKE IT GOOD.
AH, YEAH.
HEY, PERFECT TIMING!
WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE
AND HAND ME A FLATHEAD?
RIGHT UP THERE ON TOP.
ANY TIME, SWEETHEART.

OH, YEAH.
I CUT MYSELF SHAVING.
NAME'S EX.

SO IS THAT "X,"
LIKE THE ONE LETTER?
NO, TWO
LETTERS, YOU KNOW.
LIKE "EX" COP, EX-MARINE,
EX-BOUNTY HUNTER,
EX-BOXER, EX-HUSBAND.
YOU GET THE IDEA.
WELL, THE NAME'S
CASEY McKAY.
THAT'S THE RUMOR.
I'LL JUS RUN YOUR CARD.
SURE.
BUSINESS IS
BOOMING, HUH?
OH, WELL
LET'S JUST SAY
YOU'RE GONNA GE THE EISENHOWER SUITE.
NOW, WHEN I BOUGHT THIS PLACE
IT DIDN'T COME WITH A MAID.
SO, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO DO YOUR OWN BEDDING.
SHEETS AND TOWELS ARE
IN THE CLOSET.
BREAKFAST DOWN HERE A SEVEN A.M. EVERY MORNING.
AND...
I MEAN, IF YOU NEED ANY
OF THOSE LITTLE SHAMPOOS
OR SOMETHING, I'M SURE THERE'S
A BOX AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
LOOK, PARDON ME FOR
SAYING SO, BUT...
INN KEEPER JUST DOESN' HAVE QUITE THE SAME BRAVADO
AS SOME OF YOUR
PAST VOCATIONS HAD.
WELL, THERE'S A SNAKE TRYING
TO BUILD A DOG TRACK AROUND
HERE AND HE WANTS THIS LAND.
YEAH?
YOU EVER BEEN
TO A DOG TRACK?
NO, I CAN'T SAY
THAT I HAVE.
EVER SEEN WHAT GAMBLING
CAN DO TO PEOPLE?
WELL...
WELL, I KILLED MY MOM.
I SAW BLACK JACK SIPHON OFF

GAMBLING'S A DISEASE.
I DON'T WANT THA TO KILL THIS TOWN.
SO...
AND ON THAT NOTE,
I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY.
I'LL POINT YOU IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
AND BY THE WAY...

EVERYBODY DESERVES A VIGOROUS
DEFENSE AND A FAIR TRIAL.

THANK YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU REPAY ME BY
LETTING ME TAKE YOU TO DINNER?

YOU DON'T REMEMBER
WHY YOU LOST ME.
I'D SETTLE FOR
A LUNCH.

HEY THERE,
BIG CITY.
YOU THINK
YOU CAN JUST...
ROLL UP HERE
WITH THEM
FANCY CAR
AND THEM BOOTS
AND CONVINCE A GUILTY
MAN TO PLEAD NOT GUILTY?
ACTUALLY IT'S
CALLED A TRIAL.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT KEEPS
TROUBLED BOYS LIKE YOURSELVES
FROM GETTING FLUSHED
DOWN THE TOILET.
CHAMBERS, IS
GUILTY AS SIN.
AND YOU KNOW IT.
SO YOU JUST LET HIM ROLL
OVER AND BE DONE WITH IT.
YOU HEAR?
I'M GONNA GIVE
YOU SIN IF YOU
DON'T TAKE YOUR
HANDS OFF MY SUIT.
JUST...
GET HIM TO CHANGE
THE PLEA, ALL RIGHT?
YOU'VE BACKED ME INTO
A CORNER HERE, FELLAS
WITH NO AVENUE FOR ESCAPE.
SO UNLESS YOU STEP OFF, YOU'RE
GONNA BE FORCIN' ME TO FIGHT.
FORCING YOU TO
FIGHT, OLD MAN?
I'M BEGGIN' YA.
HUH?
ALL RIGHT.
Y'ALL BETTER STAR DIGGING UP MASON JARS,
BECAUSE WHEN I'M FINISHED
DRAGGING YOU ACROSS THE LAW
YOU'LL BE SO BROKE
WITH FINES...
YOU WON'T BE ABLE
TO PAY ATTENTION.
MY GRANDDADDY TOOK ON
A GANG OF OUTLAWS WITH
NOTHING BUT A PAIR OF
SPURS AND A BUFFALO BONE.
I RECKON I CAN HANDLE
THE LOT OF YOU.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
CALL AN AMBULANCE?
AH, YOU
BROKE MY NOSE.
I DON'T KNOW,
I'M GOOD.
YOU GOOD?
YEAH, I'M GOOD.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
CALL THE COPS.
NAH...
NO, I THINK JUSTICE
WAS SERVED TODAY.
OW.
SO WHO WERE
THOSE KNUCKLEHEADS?
MR. GATES' MEN.
ONE OF THOSE HAN-YONKERS
DROPPED THIS.
HMM.
J.C.?
JAY CHAMBERS.
I GAVE ONE TO EACH
OF MY GROOMSMEN.
JAY CHAMBERS WAS ONE
OF YOUR GROOMSMEN?
WELL, FOR
THE REHEARSAL.
NEVER MADE
THE WEDDING.
YOU KNOW JAY?
I KNOW HE USED TO BE
ONE OF GATES' MEN.
YOU AND I MIGHT BE FIGHTING
DIFFERENT BATTLES
IN THE SAME WAR.
I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD A FIGHTIN' WITH WORDS AND PAPER.
I DROWN IN ALL THAT LEGALESE
MUMBO-JUMBO.
AND I DON'T KNOW A LOOPHOLE
FROM A LILY PAD.
BUT I WILL BE YOUR P.I.
PRO BONO IF YOU'LL HELP
ME FIGHT THIS DOG TRACK.
I THOUGHT YOUR
LICENSE EXPIRED.
YEAH, AND SO DID
MY BOXING LICENSE.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU
COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT.
GOT YOURSELF
A DEAL.
IT COMES WITH
THE ROOM.
LOOKS LIKE IT.
YEAH, I KNOW
OF JAY CHAMBERS.
I WAS THERE WHEN HE
CAUGHT MR. MILLER'S
FIELD ON FIRE.
YOUR HONOR, I REQUEST THIS JUROR
BE REMOVED ON BASIS OF CAUSE.
AGREED, YOU MAY
STEP DOWN.
WELL, I DIDN' KNOW JAY DIRECTLY.
BUT, MY SISTER WAS
HIS SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.
AND SHE SAID HE WAS
THE MEANEST CHILD IN CHURCH.
ONE CHRISTMAS, HE PU EX-LAX IN THE PUNCH.
IT WAS THIS EGG-NOG
LOOKING STUFF.
'COURSE THERE WAS NO
ALCOHOL IN IT.
THIS THE DEVIL'S JUICE.
EX-LAX DOESN' SOUND ANY BETTER.
YOUR HONOR...
I MOVE TO STRIKE.
MA'AM, YOU
ARE EXCUSED.
WELL, ONE
TIME HE...
MOVE TO STRIKE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE HE
KNOCKED OUT THE GROOM
RIGHT AT THE CEREMONY?
YOUR HONOR...
PRESENTED WITH THE
EVIDENCE, YOU COULD
COME TO A FAIR VERDICT?
EVEN IF THE PUNISHMEN WAS DEATH?
I BELIEVE WE
REAP WHAT WE SOW.
THAT'S WHAT MY MAMA TAUGHT ME.
YOUR HONOR,
I'M GOOD WITH THIS JUROR-
YOUR HONOR...
I OBJECT.
WILL COUNSEL PLEASE
APPROACH THE BENCH?
COUNSELOR, YOU CAN'T EXCUSE
ALL OF THE AVAILABLE JURORS.
FINE, I'LL ALLOW HIM.
THANK YOU.
GREAT, WE HAVE OUR FIRST JUROR.
BAILIFF, WOULD YOU BRING IN THE
NEXT BATCH OF POTENTIAL JURORS?
ALL RISE FOR THE NEX BATCH OF POTENTIAL JURORS.
COME IN.
- HEY!
- HEY.
OH, I REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO
DO THIS TO MY DINING ROOM.
THAT ROOM ALWAYS HAD
THE BEST LIGHT.
HMMM.
HEY BOSS, WE'RE IN BUSINESS-
PRU!
HEY, SOLOMON.
HOW ARE YA?
GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
PRETTY GOOD CONSIDERING
MY ADVANCED AGE.
Y'ALL ARE FRIENDS?
OH YEAH WE UH...
WE GO WAY BACK.
WHAT?
YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM?
PRU AND I
USED TO DATE.
HA, HA!
DATE? HA, HA!
WHAT?
- YOU NEED SOMETHIN'?
- NO, BUT YOU DO.
THIS IS
JASON "FROG" STITTUM.
HE'S GOT A MOTHER IN
A NURSING HOME.
SHE HASN'T SEEN
HIM IN A WEEK,
AND HE USUALLY COMES
BY EVERY SATURDAY.
AND THIS IS
MICHAEL "BOOTS" KILLBY.
HE'S GOT A VERY SCARED,
ANGRY, AND DESPERATE WIFE.
SHE HASN'T SEEN HIM
SINCE JAY GOT OUT.
APPARENTLY, SHE OVERHEARD A
CONVERSATION WHERE THEY WERE
PLANNING TO MEET AT A BARN
NEAR THE BOOTLEGGER PATH
WHICH WOULD BE RIGHT HERE.
GATES OWNS MOST OF THAT LAND.
ANY IDEA WHAT THA MEETING WAS ABOUT?
I'D SAY THE THREE OF THEM WERE
THERE TO CUT BAIT.
KIT MUST HAVE
BEEN AT THAT BARN TOO
BECAUSE HE WENT WITH
HIM TO GO PICK UP JAY.
IF JAY GOT THAT BOY IN TROUBLE,
HE'D BE LUCKY TO FRY.
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO
CHECK THAT OUT.
YEAH, WE ARE.
PRU, COULD WE UH...
COULD WE CHANGE LUNCH TO DINNER?
- HMMM... I'M BOOKED.
- TOMORROW?
UMMM... THURSDAY?
THAT'S PERFECT.
OKAY.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO
JOIN US, EX.
HEY, THAT SOUNDS FUN.
I WOULDN'T MISS IT.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT COMIN'
TO DINNER, RIGHT?
IT MIGHT LOOK PRETTY,
BUT THE BACKWOODS OF
CHEROKEE HILLS IS WHAT PRODUCED
ALL OF GATES' MEN.
HMPH... AND YOU?
I'M TOO PRETTY TO BE FROM THE
BACKWOODS OF CHEROKEE HILLS!
WAS THIS REALLY
THAT NECESSARY?
NAH, WE COULD HAVE JUST TAKEN
YOUR FLASHY SPORTS CAR;
PARKED IT IN FRONT OF
A POTENTIAL CRIME SCENE
OWNED BY A
POTENTIAL MURDERER;
AND THEN JUS SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
SO YOU STILL GOT A
THING FOR PRU, HUH?
SHE WAS MY WIFE.
SO WHAT?
I'VE HAD 3 OF 'EM.
I'M NOT TRYING TO GE ANY OF 'EM BACK!
YEAH, BUT THEY
WEREN'T PRU.
THAT'S TRUE.
IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS, MAN.
WHY DO YOU CANOW?
I ALWAYS CARED, I JUST DIDN' KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF
ALL THIS, EX?
WELL...
PEOPLE DON'T JUST VANISH
IN MY EXPERIENCE;
SOMEBODY MAKES 'EM
DISAPPEAR SO... HMMM.
BULLET HOLE.
THAT'S A .45.
YES, IT IS.
THAT'S A 9 MILLIMETER THERE,
AND THEN TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS... DIFFERENT ANGLE.
THAT LEADS ME TO THINK
THAT THIS THERE IS UH-
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED
TO BOOTS AND FROG.
I JUST HOPE KIT WASN'T HERE
WHEN THIS WENT DOWN.
I'M NOT EX-FORENSICS BUT I'D BE
WILLING TO BET THA PINBALL MACHINE THAT WE'RE GONNA
FIND SEVEN SHOOTERS BECAUSE
GATES USUALLY RUNS IN SEVENS.
I DON'T KNOW, THE MOST I CAN
FIGURE HERE IS SIX.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO
BULLET HOLES ON THIS WALL SO...
MAYBE BOOTS, FROG, AND KI GOT AMBUSHED?
IF I WAS GONNA DO AN AMBUSH,
MIGHT DO IT RIGHERE, SEE?
SIX SHOOTERS...
SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE GANG...
SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE GANG.
THESE GUYS ARE GOOD.
I DON'T SEE BLOOD ANYWHERE.
YOU KNOW, MY DADDY USED TO TAKE
ME HUNTING A LO WHEN I WAS A KID.
HE PUT A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON ME
TAGGING MY FIRST DEER.
AND THEN ONE DAY I FOUND MYSELF
AIMING AT AN 8-POINT BUCK.
SO I RAISED MY GUN AND I HAD
THAT DEER IN MY SIGHTS.
BUT...
I JUST COULDN'T DO IT,
SO I SHOT HIGH.
YOU COULDN' SHOOTDEER?
WHAT A WIMP!
NO, NOT A WIMP...
I WAS JUST SCARED.
WE NEED TO FIND
WTHAT IS.
THERE'S GOTTA BE
SOME KIND OF LINK BETWEEN
WHAT HAPPENED HERE,
AND THE MURDER OF THAT D.A.
UM-HMM.
SIT IT RIGHT BY THERE
BY THE WINDOWS.
SORRY, COME ON.
PARKING CLOSER TO THE
BARN DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SUCH A
BAD IDEA NOW DOES IT?
COME ON.
DUSTY, WHY DIDN'T YOU
HEAR THAT GUNSHOT?
UM, THE TRAIN.
I MEAN, EVERYONE KNOWS HOW LOUD
IT GETS;
THE CLANGING AND BANGING
LIKE A GUNSHO EVERY COUPLE OF CARS OR SO...
FREEZE!
GUN! GET ON THE GROUND!
- GET ON THE GROUND!
- GET ON THE GROUND NOW!
- GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!
- GET ON THE GROUND!
GET DOWN!
DROP THE WEAPON!
- I'M DROPPING MY GUN NOW.
- DROP THE WEAPON!
GET DOWN! GET DOWN! GET DOWN!
SO YOU SAW WHO
STANDING OVER THE BODY,
OF MR. JENKINS?
THAT FELLA OVER THERE.
LET THE RECORD SHOW THA THE WITNESS HAS IDENTIFIED
THE DEFENDANT, JAY CHAMBERS.
THANK YOU, DUSTY.
NO MORE QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.
YOUR WITNESS, MR. McKAY.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
SO...
DUSTY, YOU UH...
YOU LIKE MUSIC?
UM...
YES SIR, LOVE MUSIC.
YEAH, WHAT KIND
OF MUSIC?
UM... REALLY
ANYTHING THAT MOVES.
RIGHT, RIGHT. A LOT OF DRUMS,
CYMBALS... STUFF LIKE THAT?
YES, OH ABSOLUTELY.
YES, SIR. UH...
ANYTHING THAT MOVES LIKE I SAID.
IN FACT, YOU WERE LISTENING TO
MUSIC THE NIGHT OF THE
MURDER, WEREN'T YOU?
OH YES, SIR.
YES, SIR.
I MEAN, I LISTEN...
I MEAN, I LISTEN TO
MUSIC EVERY NIGHT SO...
NICE AND LOUD?
OH UM...
PROBABLY A LITTLE LOUDER
THAN MY DOCTOR WOULD LIKE.
TOO LOUD TO HEAR A GUNSHOT?
HUH?
WELL, ISN'T IT POSSIBLE
OR EVEN LIKELY THAT UH...
D.A. JENKINS WAS SHOT FAR
EARLIER THAN YOU SAY?
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
HE'S ASKING THE
WITNESS TO SPECULATE.
OVERRULED... CONTINUE.
WELL, BEFORE MY CLIENT EVEN
ENTERED THE BUILDING...
AND LONG BEFORE THE TRAIN
ROLLED THROUGH TOWN...
IS IT POSSIBLE YOU
DIDN'T HEAR THE GUNSHOT?
I'M SURE I WOULD'VE
HEARDGUNSHOT.
AHEM.
MAY I UH...
APPROACH THE WITNESS YOUR HONOR?
PROCEED.
NOW DUSTY, CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS
AS YOUR HEADSET?
YES SIR, IT WAS MY FATHER'S.
WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO DO IS PU THE HEADSET ON AND ADJUST THE
VOLUME TO THAT LEVEL YOUR
DOCTOR SAYS IS TOO LOUD.
- OKAY.
- OKAY.
AND THEN I WANT YOU TO
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRESS PLAY,
AND RAISE YOUR HAND WHEN YOU
HEAR THIS BOOK HIT THE FLOOR.
YES, SIR.
PROCEED.
CLOSE YOUR EYES
LET YOUR TROUBLES SLIP AWAY
JUST IMAGINE
AHEM...
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.
THANK YOU, DUSTY.
SO HOW DO WE FIND
THIS SEVENTH SHOOTER?
IT'S HIM.
RATCHET?
UM-HMM NERVOUS AS ALWAYS.
HE'S THE ONE; HE'S THE ONE
WHO AIMED HIGH.
IT TAKES ONE
TO KNOW ONE.
SO WHAT WAS YOUR LAS MEMORY OF THAT EVENING?
I SAW JAY CHAMBERS RUNNING
OUT OF THE BUILDING
WITH A GUN IN HIS HAND.
NOW, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THA YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED
TWICE IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS-
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
UNLESS THE DEFENSE
WANTS TO ADD LARCENY
TO HIS CLIENT'S CHARGES,
HOW IS THIS RELEVANT?
YOUR HONOR, IF I MAY HAVE
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY?
I'LL GET TO THE POINT.
VERY WELL, MAKE IT QUICK.
NOW YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED
TWICE, IS THAT CORRECT?
AND YOU WERE ABLE TO CALL 911
DURING BOTH OF THOSE ROBBERIES?
- YES.
- OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
MR. McKAY...
YES, YOUR HONOR.
MY QUESTION IS,
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE
THE POLICE TO ARRIVE
AFTER YOU MADE THOSE CALLS?
IT FELT LIKE A
LIFETIME... FOREVER.
TEN MINUTES MAYBE.
HMM...
NOW LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
IT TOOK TEN MINUTES FOR THE
POLICE TO ARRIVE FOR
YOUR TWO BREAK-INS,
BUT THOSE FOUR SQUAD CARS
MADE IT TO THE COURTHOUSE IN
UNDER 28 SECONDS
AFTER THE D.A. WAS MURDERED.
28 SECONDS...
GIVE OR TAKE A MISSISSIPPI.
NOW HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT.
I GUESS THEY WERE CALLED BEFORE
HE WAS MURDERED.
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR...
THAT'S CONJECTURE!
ORDER IN THE COURT!
THAT'S CONJECTURE.
SUSTAINED, PLEASE STRIKE
THAT FROM THE RECORD.
JURY, PLEASE IGNORE THA LAST STATEMENT.
COUNSEL, SAVE YOUR THEORIES
FOR YOUR CLOSING ARGUMENT.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
I'M SORRY...
ONE MOMENT, YOUR HONOR?
KEEP IT BRIEF, COUNSEL.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
HERE ARE
ALL THE PENDING CASES THE D.A.
HAD BEFORE HIS MURDER.
GUESS WHO MAY HAVE HAD A GREA BIG BEEF WITH THE DECEASED?
YOUR GOOD BUDDY,
ARCHIBALD GATES?
UM-HMM, AND GUESS WHOSE CASE
SUDDENLY GOT SHELVED?
MY MAN, BEN WINGWRIGHT, IS GONNA
NEED TO REOPEN THAT CASE.
[TAPPINTHANKS, EX.
COUNSEL McKAY,
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANNA
SHARE WITH THE COURT?
MY APOLOGIES, YOUR HONOR.
PULL!
PULL!
NOT BAD.
- YOU WANNA SHOT?
- NAH, I'M GOOD.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
I DID.
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE
YOU TO REOPEN YOUR
PREDECESSOR'S CASE
ON MR. GATES.
WELL, ALL HIS CASES
HAVE BEEN SHELVED
UNTIL THEY FIND
A REPLACEMENT.
BUT YOU COULD
OPEN THEM.
I'VE GOT ENOUGH ON MY
PLATE WITH YOCLIENT.
YEAH, I'VE READ
THE CASE FILE.
YOU'RE SPENDING MORE
TIME INVESTIGATING
ME THAN JAY CHAMBERS.
EX HAS TOLD ME
A LOT ABOUT YOU.
FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS,
YOU'VE PAVED THE WAY
FOR MEN LIKE
HENRY PATRICK JENKINS.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN THE PILLAR,
BUT YOU'VE BEEN THE BEDROCK.
WHY DO I WANT TO
REOPEN THIS CASE?
BECAUSE I BELIEVE
MR. GATES
HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE D.A.'S MURDER.
I DOUBT IT.
DOUBTING ONE'S DOUBTS MAKES A
SECOND CHANCE POSSIBLE.
FALSELY ACCUSING
MR. GATES
IS A DANGEROUS GAME
EVEN FOR SOMEONE
LIKE YOU.
PULL.
REOPEN THA CASE ON GATES...
AND WATCH
WHAT HAPPENS.
HMM.
"NEW CHAPTER, LOVE PRU".
CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?
A PACK OF PEANUTS?
A BUCKET OF ICE?
I DO REALLY LIKE WHA YOU'VE DONE WITH THE PLACE.
YEAH, IT REALLY SETS THE MOOD.
THE BOSS IS WAITIN' FOR YOU.
TURN AROUND SLOWLY.
OR ELSE MY DADDY'S GUN IS GONNA
BLAST YOU TO THE MOON.
EX.
HEY, WE'RE BUSY TODAY.
MR. CASEY.
UH... MR. GATES,
I PRESUME?
WELL, IT SEEMS TO ME...
AS YOU'RE DIGGIN'
JAY'S GRAVE,
YOU'RE SHOVELING SOME
DIRT ON ME.
OH, I'M NOT IN THE BUSINESS
OF DIGGING GRAVES.
WHAT ARE YA IN THE BUSINESS OF?
JUSTICE.
WELL, I'VE GOT MY OWN
JUSTICE, MR. McKAY.
HEY, LOOK... LOOK.
DON'T SUGARCOAT IT.
JUST THREATEN ME LIKE A MAN
AND THEN WALK AWAY.
SEE, I GOTTA DATE TONIGHT SO...
HMPH.
I WASN'T THREATENING YOU.
I WAS JUST GIVING YOU
A FRIENDLY WARNING.
SAME DIFFERENCE.
NO, NO, NO.
YOU SEE, A THREAT...
WOULD GO SOMETHING LITHIS.
YOU TRY AND PIN
SOME DIRT ON ME,
MY BOYS HERE WILL
PUT YOU IN A GRAVE.
NTHAT'S A THREAT.
NOW A WARNING WOULD BE
MORE LIKE...
WHILE I SUPPORT YOUR
SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH,
IF YOU SLANDER MY NAME
IN THE PROCESS, I WILL SUE.
WELL, THAT'S A THREA TOO ISN'T IT? YEAH... AH...
COLT SINGLE ACTION .45.
YOU KNOW, SOME FOLKS SAY THAT'S
THE GUN THAT WYATT EARP
USED AT THE O.K. CORRAL,
BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE.
HE ACTUALLY HAD A SMITH AND
WESSON MODEL THREE.
G'DAY? HMM...
YEAH, MY DADDY
WAS A COLLECTOR.
I HAVE HIS COL SINGLE ACTION .44
AND HIS DOUBLE
ACTION .41.
WOW, DID YOU KNOW THIS...
BILLY THE KID USED
TO CARRY THEM.
HE CALLED ONE "THUNDER" AND THE
OTHER ONE WAS "LIGHTNING."
THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT!
YOU KNOW, I ALSO HAVE MY DADDY'S
WINCHESTER .73 TUCKED
AWAY IN MY CLOSET...
FOR THE UNINVITED
SO-TO-SPEAK.
WOW... IT'S VERY
RARE TO MEET ANOTHER AFICIONADO.
OH, YOU WOULD HAVE
LOVED MY DADDY.
AND HE WOULD HAVE
LOVED THIS TOWN.
ALL Y'ALL ACTING LIKE
IT'S THE WILD WEST.
BETWEEN YOU AND EX, I'M JUST...
I'M JUST SURPRISED YOU DON' SETTLE THIS AT HIGH NOON.
IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SOLOMON?
YOU AND ME, HIGH NOON,
THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
WE'LL SHOOT IT OUT FOR THIS
LITTLE RAT-MOTEL OF YOURS?
IF IT'S JUST YOU AND ME...
ANY TIME, ANY PLACE.
YOU SEE, SOLOMON THERE...
HE'S YOUR SIDE
OF THE COIN.
ME? I WAS BORN DIRT POOR.
BUT EX'S MAMA WAS VERY
GOOD AT MAKING MONEY.
SEE EVERYTHING I HAVE...
I WENT TO THE DOG TRACK...
SEE, I GAMBLED EVERYTHING;
WENT ALL-IN.
MADE ME THE MAN I AM TODAY.
SO THE OPPORTUNITIES AROUND HERE
TO MAKE IT RICH ARE VERY SLIM.
SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE
A CHANCE OF SUCCESS
LIKE I HAD... YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T STRIKE ME
AS A GAMBLING MAN.
ACTUALLY, I THINK YOU'RE THE
KINDA GUY THAT LIKES
TO STACK THE DECK
IN HIS FAVOR.
NOW I'M WILLING TO BET THA YOU HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH D.A. JENKINS' DEATH.
AND SO I'M GONNA STICK AROUND
'TIL YOU'RE BEHIND BARS.
NOW THAT'S A THREAT.
IT WAS.
AND SO IS THIS...
YOUR PET SNAKE OVER
THERE, GERALDO...
IF HE DOESN'T GIVE
ME MY WATCH BACK,
I'M GONNA THROW HIM HEAD FIRS THROUGH THAT PINBALL MACHINE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TALKED
ABOUT MY MAMA, GATES.
COME ON, BOYS.
NOW CASEY, BY LAW AM I ALLOWED
TO START SHOOTING YET?
I DON'T KNOW,
ARE THEY TRESPASSING?
OH, THEY'RE
DEFINITELY TRESPASSING.
THEN YES, SIR.
YOU CAN LEGALLY START SHOOTING.
YOU GONNA GET THAT?
OH, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
YEAH, IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT.
HELLO? YES! WHY YES WE
DO HAVE VACANCIES!
WELL, GOOD.
WE'LL SEE YA IN A FEW, THANKS!
HEY, GOOD NEWS...
FIRST CUSTOMER!
ACTUALLY YOUR SECOND.
OH SORRY, YEAH... SECOND.
YOU KNOW MR. GATES,
I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT...
YOU'RE ONE MAN SHORT...
RATCHET IS IT?
YEAH...
YEAH, RATCHET'S SICK.
RIGHT.
I'LL GIVE YA THIS...
FOR A LAWYER,
YOU'VE GOT TEETH.
WELL, NOT ALL OF US
START OUT AS LAWYERS.
WELL...
I'M REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD TO
TALKIN' GUNS AGAIN WITH YOU.
I'M SURE WE WILL.
SOON.
- SOON.

Y'ALL FORGOT SOMETHIN'.
OHH... AHH!
PICK HIM UP.
AH! AHHH! HEY!
COME ON, WE GOTTA

GUN WITH YA.
GATES WAS ONE MAN SHORT.
LET'S DO IT.
PRU?
DON'T YOU DO IT,
CASEY MCKAY!
HEY, HEY, TAKE IT EASY.
WOULD YOU MIND LOWERING
THE GUN, PLEASE?
- YOU'RE LATE.
- YEAH, YEAH. WELL, WE WERE BUSY.
NOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH
THAT SHOTGUN ANYWAY?
SOMEBODY'S RINGIN'
MY DOORBELL AFTER DARK-
BAD GUYS DON' RING DOORBELLS!
YEAH, WELL...
I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.
BESIDES, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO
CALL YOU THE WHOLE WAY UP HERE.
I'VE BEEN BUSY.
COME ON.
HE WAS WORRIED GATES HAD
GOTTEN TO ME.
SCARED ME TO DEATH.
I'M SORRY, AUNT PRU.
HEY, KIT.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
WHY DON'T YOU UH... WHY DON' YOU GO ON AND TAKE A SEAT.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE SAFE;
WE'VE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
SO WHERE YOU BEEN?
HIDING.
YEAH? WHY?
IT'S OKAY, KIT.
YOU CAN TRUST HIM.
UNCLE CASEY, MY...
MY FATHER...
HE KILLED MR. JENKINS.
HMM.
AND YOU KNOW THIS
FOR A FACT?
OF COURSE I KNOW.
MY WHOLE LIFE, HE'S BEEN TELLING
ME HE'S GONNA CHANGE;
TELLING ME HE'S NOT GONNA
MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE.
HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
HE MADE 'EM A THOUSAND TIMES AND
LOOK WHERE IT'S GOTTEN HIM.
LOOK, I JUST CAME TO SEE AUN PRU TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS SAFE
BEFORE WE GET OUTTA TOWN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT HE KILLED HIM?
I WAS THERE.
D.A. JENKINS
IS A PROBLEM AND HE'S A LIABILITY.
THAT ENDS TONIGHT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
OR... YOU COULD END UP
LIKE BOOTS AND FROG.
ATTA BOY.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
IT'S OVER, HUH?
YOU CAN COME ON BACK HERE,
I'LL BE GONE.
YOU AND YOUR BOY HERE CAN
RIDE OFF INTO THE
SUNSET FOR ALL I CARE.
AND I DON' CAUSE YOU'RE DEAD TO ME.
WE'RE GONNA GE IN THAT R.V., RIGHT?
CHECK THE WATER PRESSURE
IN THE SHOWER?
GET IN THE CAB...
QUIT STALLIN'.
HEY, THE THREE OF US?
TFOUR OF US.
THE FOUR OF US ARE GONNA
BE IN THAT R.V. SOON.
THE FOUR OF YOU? HOW?
WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO?
[SIGHIT'S OKAY, BABY.
YOU CAN COME ON OUT.
UM, CASEY.
THIS HERE'S STELLA.
SO THESE TWO HAVE
BEEN MARRIED A YEAR NOW.
I SENT YOU AN INVITATION.
NOW, KIT UH...
ABOUT THE GUNSHOT.
DID YOU ACTUALLY HEAR IT?
WELL, NO.
THERE WAS THE TRAIN...
SIRENS AND A BUNCH OF COMMOTION
FREEZE!
GET ON THE GROUND!
WHAT ABOUT MY DAD?
OH, YOUR DADDY'S GOING
BACK AWAY FOR A WHILE, BOY.
HEY, DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
GET BACK IN HERE!
HEY!
AH...
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
REMAIN SILEN ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN
AND WILL BE USED
AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.
YOU HAVE THE RIGH TO AN ATTORNEY.
IF YOU CAN NO AFFORD AN ATTORNEY,
YOU'RE TO BE PROVIDED ONE.
WATCH YOUR HEAD.
WELL, I USED THE MONEY
WE'D SAVED TO BUY THAT R.V.
AND WE'VE BEEN HIDING OU IN IT EVER SINCE;
MOVIN' TO A NEW
SPOT EVERY DAY.
SAY, EX...
HMM?
RATCHET WASN'T THERE
TONIGHT; DO YOU THINK YOU
CAN FIND HIM AND
FLIP HIM?
OH, PROBABLY.
GREAT.
KIT, I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO HIDE
OUT HERE.
NO. UNCLE CASEY, WE'RE LEAVING
TOWN AND YOU CAN'T STOP US.
NOW LOOK... LOOK KIT...
IF THE PROSECUTOR GETS A HOLD
OF YOU NOW,
WE MIGHT AS WELL BUY THE FLOWERS
FOR YOUR DADDY'S FUNERAL.
NOW YOU MAY BE DONE WITH HIM,
BUT I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT THAT.
NO, SIR.
PRU...
- YEAH?
- YOU GOT TODAY'S PAPER?
I THINK WE'D BETTER SEND
A MESSAGE TO JAY.
YEAH.
YOU GOT A PACKAGE.
HE WANTED ME TO SCARE THE
D.A. OFF HIS SCENT;
SCARE HIM FROM DIGGING AROUND IN
MR. GATES' PERSONAL AFFAIRS.
I DIDN'T WEAR A MASK...
GUN IN HAND...
HE JUST WANTED ME
TO SCARE HIM.
THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME.
HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE NO LYING JUST TO GET A DEAL?
AND WHY IS IT NOW THAT YOU'RE
WILLING TO TESTIFY?
BECAUSE...
BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE
A GRANDFATHER...
AND MY BOY'S GONNA BE
A FATHER.
I WILL SPEND AN ETERNITY IN
PRISON BEFORE I LIVE
TO SEE SOMEONE HURT THEM,
OKAY?
NOW, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE SAFE.
MAN, I'M JUST NOTHIN' BUT A CON
WITH NOTHIN' TO LOSE...
BUT A SECOND CHANCE TO GAIN.
HE WAS BLACKMAILING YOU?
HE WAS GONNA HURT MY BOY.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
HENRY HAD BEGUN AN
INVESTIGATION ON GATES.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PROOF YE TO BRING HIM DOWN,
BUT DEFINITELY ENOUGH
TO SCARE HIM.
IF WHAT HE'S SAYING IS TRUE,
THERE'S NO TELLING HOW
FAR GATES WILL GO.
I THINK THE D.A. HAD ALREADY
BEEN SHOT BEFORE JAY GOT TO HIM.
I THINK GATES SET HIM UP...
GAVE HIM THE SAME GUN
WITH THE SAME USED SHELL
STILL IN THE CHAMBER.
IN FACT,
I'M CONVINCED OF IT.
IN 30 YEARS OF BREAKING THE LAW,
JAY NEVER ONCE USED A GUN.
YOU REALLY THINK THEY
WERE LISTENING?
WE'LL SEE.
YOU THINK IT'LL WORK?
IT BETTER OR JAY'S
GONNA BE FOUND GUILTY.
WELL, DUSTY CAN'T SEEM TO
FIX THE POWER OVER THERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE WHOLE BACK SECTION HAS
BEEN OUT SINCE WE GOT STARTED.
BEN, I'LL CATCH
UP WITH YOU LATER.
- MR.
- HEY, JENKINS...
WE'RE POSTPONING THE
CLOSING ARGUMENTS
FOR A NEW WITNESS.
WILL JAY CHAMBERS
PLEASE TAKE THE STAND?
MR. McKAY,
YOUR WITNESS.
MR. McKAY!
YOUR HONOR, I'D LIKE TO
REQUEST A SHORT RECESS.
ON WHAT GROUNDS?
UH, YOUR HONOR... I COULD
USE THAT RECESS AS WELL.
WE'LL TAKE AN EARLY LUNCH
AND RECONVENE IN 2 HOURS SHARP.
WHAT ABOUT THE PLAN?
THEY JUMPED THE PLAN.
YOU WANTTHEM
TO JUMP.
YEAH, BUT NOT WITH PRU.
LISTEN-
JAY, I'LL HANDLE IT.
IF YOU'RE
NOT BACK IN TWO HOURS,
I'M GONNA PLEAD GUILTY,
ALRIGHT?
NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA GE HURT BECAUSE OF ME.
THIS ENDS WITH ME, CASEY.
I HOPE THAT'S
ENOUGH TIME.
I GUESS THEY REALLY
WERE LISTENING.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOUR GREAT,
GREAT-GRANDDADDY WAS
THE MAN WHO CHASED
CUTTHROAT JIMMY
OF WEST TEXAS.
YOU DIDN'T ASK.
YEAH.
THERE'S A FEW LEGENDS IN YOUR
FAMILY, ISN'T THERE?
RANGERS...
ALL THAT KINDA THING?
SEE, THAT GOT ME THINKIN' HOW
SOMEONE LIKE YOU COULD
POSSIBLY GET CLOSE TO ME AND
MAYBE IN FACT BRING ME DOWN.
WELL, YOU SEE NOW...
IF I WAS ONE THEM...
YOU'D ALREADY BE SWINGIN'
AT THE END OF A ROPE.
NOW WHERE'S MY WIFE?
PRUDENCE...
OUCH.
NOW
HERE'S WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN...
YOU'RE GONNA GET JAY TO
INCRIMINATE HIMSELF, AND YOU...
ARE GOING TO
GET OUT OF MY TOWN.
AND WE'RE ALL GONNA GE BACK TO NORMAL.
NAH, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN;
HOW ABOUT YOU AND I CUT A DEAL?
NOW, WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
I'M THE ONE HOLDING
ALL THE CARDS.
YOU'RE HOLDING
ALL THE CARDS, HUH?
WELL, NO IF ONE OF YOUR BOYS HERE IS
WILLING TO TESTIFY AGAINST YOU.
NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU THINK?
YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD
A WEAK LINK, DID YA?
YEAH, I DIDN'T THINK SO.
TAKE A LOOK RIGHT THERE...
YOU SEE THAT?
YOU SEE, ONE OF YOUR BOYS DIDN' SHOOT TO KILL, AND NOW YOU'VE
GOT A FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE.
HERE'S MY OFFER TO YOU...
ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED
AND YOUR INFORMANT.
AND YOU GET TO GE THAT WIFE BACK.
OR IS IT EX-WIFE?
YOU THINK IT OUT.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN
SECOND CHANCES?
NO, I DO NOT.
WELL, NEITHER
DID I FOR THE LONGEST TIME.
AT LEAST NOT FOR MYSELF...
NOT UNTIL I REALIZED HOW
BADLY I NEEDED ONE.
SEE GATES, I'VE BEEN AIMING
HIGH MY WHOLE LIFE.
BUT TODAY...
I'M WILLING TO
LEVEL IT OUT FOR YOU.
AHHH...
SO THIS IS THE WAY IT'S
GOING TO GO, HUH?
WELL...
IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO COME
DOWN TO THIS.
OKAY. JIG'S UP, LOSERS.
JUST RELAX AND PUT THE
GUNS ON THE GROUND.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
THANK YOU... THANK YOU.
HEY, CASEY...
WE FOUND RATCHET.
HE REALLY WAS OUT SICK!
EX... PRU... GO AHEAD AND GE 'EM OUTTA HERE.
ONE AT A TIME IN AN
ORDERLY FASHION.
SOMEBODY HELP OL'
STUMPY THERE.
RIGHT THIS WAY.
IT'S OVER, GATES.
NOTHING'S OVER; IT'S NEVER OVER.
NOTHING IS OVER... NOTHING!!!
SEE, YOUR LITTLE D.A. JENKINS...
HE TRIED TO END ME.
I SHOT HIM DOWN.
I'M GONNA DO THE SAME TO YOU.
ONCE I'VE GOT YOU
OUT OF MY WAY,
I'M GOING AFTER JAY;
YEA
I'M GONNA GET HIM AND
THE LITTLE BABY.
THEY'RE NEVER GONNA
BE SAFE... NEVER!!!
I'M JUST GONNA FINISH
THE WHOLE THING OFF...
I'M GONNA GET YOUR PRUDENCE
AND I'M GONNA
KEEP HER FOR MYSELF.
YOU HEAR ME?
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK, BOY?
ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?
ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?!
COME ON...
COME ON...
COME ON!!!
AH! AHHH!!!!
THAT'S YOUR
SECOND CHANCE.
YOU BEST JUST KILL ME.
NAH I DON'T THINK SO,
I'M MORE INTERESTED
IN THE TRUTH.
AH...
EX, CALL THE COPS.
TELL THEM WE'VE GO THEIR MURDER SUSPECT.
GOOD AFTERNOON,
COUNTY COURTHOUSE.
YEAH, HI. I

OF ALL THE ROOMS
IN THE HOUSE,
HOW COME YOU HAD TO SE UP IN MY DINING ROOM?
'CAUSE THAT ROOM'S
GOT THE BEST LIGHT!
HEY, EASY NOW...
I GOT A SYSTEM GOING ON THERE.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE AN OFFICE!
SEE YOU

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.
WHERE YOU AT, WHERE

I MISSED YOU SO
MUCH, JUNE BOY!
OH, LOOK AT YOU.
BOOTSIE!
WHAT THE-
WHAT IS THIS?
GAH!
LET'S GET IN HERE, BOY;
LET'S GET OUT, COME ON!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THE RV YOU GOT US.
IT'S A LITTLE BEAT UP,
BUT IT'LL GET US TO BIG SUR.
GOOD JOB, SON.
DAD...
I DON'T HAVE A GOOD
FEELING ABOUT THIS.
HEY, THIS WON' TAKE LONG.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO THIS.
YEAH, I DO.
WHY?
WHY?
BECAUSE IF I DON'T,
THE TROUBLE'S GONNA FIND ME.
AND I GOTTA CU IT CLEAN.
DAD...
STOP, LISTEN.
ONE MORE TIME.
I PROMISE,
ONE MORE TIME.
AND WE'RE FREE.
OKAY?
YOU'VE SAID
THAT BEFORE.
THIS TIME IS
DIFFERENT.
SAID THAT TOO.
I'LL BE BACK.
WELL, BOYS.
THE PRODIGAL SON
HAS RETURNED.
UM...
MR. GATES,
THE THREE OF US...
THE THREE OF US,
WE'RE OUT.
WHAT'S THAT?
THAT'S THE AMOUN FROM THE LAST GIG.
THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH IN
THERE TO COVER WHAT I OWE YOU.
WHERE YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA GO?
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA DO?
YOU'RE CONS.
EX...
EX-CONS.
EX-CONS.
SORRY, SUNSHINE.
BUT THE WORLD'S NO GONNA SEE YOU LIKE THAT.
LIKE AN EX-CON.
I JUST WANT A SECOND
SHOT WITH ME AND MY BOY.
THAT'S JUST HEART-BREAKING.
BUT WHAT YOU ALL NEED
AIN'T GONNA FIT IN THAT BAG.
COME ON, DAD.
HURRY UP.
FORGET THIS.
I UNDERSTAND BUT...
WE JUST DON'T WAN ANY BLOODSHED.
MR. GATES...
WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING
YOU'VE DONE; WE'RE GRATEFUL.
YOU'RE GRATEFUL?
BUT WE'VE
CHANGED.
CHANGED?
YOU WANT OUT.
THINK ABOUT THE THINGS
THAT WE'VE SEEN
AND WE'VE DONE
TOGETHER.
OH, NO...
THERE'S NO
GETTING OUT.
LET ME TELL
A STORY.
WHEN I WAS A KID
GROWING UP IN SCOTLAND,
MY OLD MAN USED
TO BREED CHICKENS.
ONE NIGHT WHEN HE WAS
ON HIS USUAL BENDER,
I HEARD THIS NOISE COMING
FROM THE HEN HOUSE.
AND IT WAS THIS RED
FOX STANDING THERE
WITH A HEN IN HIS MOUTH.
SO I RAISED UP MY END FIELD
AND I HAD HIM IN MY SIGHTS.
AYE, HE WAS THERE.
I COULDN'T PULL
THE TRIGGER.
COULDN'T DO IT.
SO THE NEXT DAY...
DADDY DEAR, IS STANDING
WAITING FOR ME
WITH A LEATHER STRAP.
AND HE BEAT ME WITH
THAT THING FOR AN HOUR.
SO LATER THAT NIGHT,
WHEN THE FOX CAME BACK
I OPENED UP THE COOP
AND I LET HIM IN.
AND HE KILLED EVERY
ONE OF THEM CHICKENS.
AND THAT WAS THE LAS FOX I EVER LET AWAY.
MR. GATES PLEASE.
WE JUST WAN A CLEAN SLATE, OKAY?
I DID WHAT YOU
ASKED US TO DO.
PLEASE.
SLEEP TIGHT,
YOU TWO.
YOU'RE WONDERING
WHY YOU'RE STILL ALIVE,
AREN'T YA?
I GOT ONE MORE
JOB FOR YOU.
OH, I THINK YOU WILL.
DAD?
STOP, SON STOP!
WHOA, LITTLE LEAK.
YOU DO THIS JOB FOR
ME, YOU AND THE BOY GET TO LIVE.
MY BOY HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS.
WELL, THAT'S A SHAME.
THEN THE BOY HAS TO DIE
FOR THE SINS OF HIS FATHER.
SHOOT HIM.
NO, NO!
STOP, DON'T!
I'LL DO IT.
DAD!
OF COURSE YOU WILL.
GOOD BOY.
PARKER, WE DON' HAVE TO DO THIS.
YOU CAN DROP THE CRIMINAL
CHARGES AND WE CAN
ALL JUST WALK AWAY.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
MAY I?
PLEASE.
WHAT IS THIS?
THAT'S THE NUMBER MY CLIENT'S
PREPARED TO SUE YOUR CLIENT FOR.
YOU SEE...
HE FEELS THIS NUMBER'S
NECESSARY TO EASE THE PAIN
AND SUFFERING AND THE INJURIES
HE SUSTAINED FROM HIS FALL.
YOU
CRACK ME UP.
SEE, THIS IS ABOU THE CRIMINAL CHARGES
OF SHOPLIFTING
AGAINST YOUR CLIENT,
NOT SOME DRUMMED UP CIVIL CASE.
YOU AND I ARE JUS HAVING A FRIENDLY DISCOURSE,
BEFORE WE PASS THE POIN OF NO RETURN.
I JUST THINK YOU DON' WANT TO GO TO TRIAL
'CAUSE YOU KNOW
YOU'LL LOSE.
WHAT'S YOUR WIN
STREAK UP TO?
WOW.
BUT THE POIN I WANT TO MAKE...
IS THAT MY CLIENT SLIPPED
ON A WET FLOOR
NATIONAL ELECTRONIC
RETAIL STORES.
CASEY...
IT'S NOT ROBBING IF YOU
NEVER LEAVE THE STORE.
I'M NOT STEALING THIS PEN.
I'M MERELY HOLDING IT,
OPENLY IN YOUR PRESENCE
WITHOUT ANY CURREN OBJECTIONS FROM YOU.
THE JANITOR WILL TESTIFY THA HE WAS RUNNING FOR THE EXIT.
THAT'S INTENT.
AREN'T THE CASH REGISTERS
RIGHT BY THE EXIT?
I THINK WE'LL TAKE OUR
CHANCES IN COURT.
PARKER, WHAT DID THE JANITOR
SAY TO MY CLIENT IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE ACCIDENT?
I'M LOOKING.
HIS FIRST WORDS WERE,
"I'M SORRY."
"I'M SORRY, I FORGO THE SIGN."
THE BIG, YELLOW WARNING SIGN
THAT NEVER LEFT HIS CART.
NOW AN EMPLOYEE OF YOUR CLIEN APOLOGIZED TO MY CLIEN MOMENTS AFTER THE INCIDENT.
AND HE KNEW THAT HE HAD DUTY
OF CARE TO PLACE THAT SIGN OU SO CUSTOMERS WOULD KNOW
THAT THAT FLOOR WAS WET.
NOW I SUGGEST YOU
DROP THOSE CHARGES
BEFORE THIS BECOMES
AN ACTUAL LAWSUIT.
LIKE I SAID, WE CAN
ALL JUST WALK AWAY.
OH...
DON'T FORGET THIS.
40...
HAVE A GOOD DAY, PARKER.
BEFORE YOU GO AND
THANK ME, DON'T.
I DIDN'T DO YOU
ANY FAVORS.
I WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU BECAUSE
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A LAWYER.
I DID WHAT WAS MY LEGAL
RESPONSIBILITY.
EVERYONE'S ENTITLED
TO A VIGOROUS DEFENSE.
BUT LET'S GET ONE THING
STRAIGHT HERE, POLO...
IF YOU END UP BACK IN COUR AGAIN, I AM NOT GONNA BE HERE
TO SAVE YOUR SORRY TAIL.
NOPE!
DON'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT SUING.
A SECOND CHANCE IS WORTH
A LOT MORE THAN MONEY.
NOW GO ON, GET.
AFTER TEN YEARS
I WOULD'VE AT LEAS THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE
CHANGED THE LOCKS.
PRU.
YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS DID
HAVE A KNACK FOR BEING
ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME.
MY BROTHER'S
IN TROUBLE.
HE'S ALWAYS
IN TROUBLE.
NOT LIKE THIS.
WHAT'S JAY GOTTEN
HIMSELF INTO THIS TIME?
IT'S MURDER.
MURDER?
WHO'D HE GO AND KILL?
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
A DA, HUH?
YOUR BROTHER'S HI THE BIG TIME, BABE.
THE ARRAIGNMENT'S
ON MONDAY.
BACK IN CHEROKEE HILLS?
I DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE ELSE TO GO.
HOW'S YOUR WINNING STREAK?
WELL, I'M GLAD OUR DIVORCE
WASN'T FOR NOTHING.
PRU, NOW LISTEN.
WILL YOU DEFEND
HIM OR NOT?
YOU'RE THE BES LAWYER I KNOW.
YOU WANT ME TO
DEFEND YOUR BROTHER,
THE SAME BROTHER THAT WE'VE
GIVEN A SMALL FORTUNE TO?
THE BROTHER WHO WE BAILED
OUT, DROPPED OFF, TAKEN IN
AND RESCUED MORE TIMES
THAN A DOG'S HAD FLEAS?
YEAH.
YOU REMEMBER THE TIME
HE STAYED OVER AND STOLE
MY GRANDMOTHER'S SILVER?
YEAH.
YEAH, REMEMBER THE
TIME HE TOOK MR. DARCY-
OKAY LOOK, MY LIST IS LONGER
THAN YOURS, OKAY CASEY?
RIGHT.
BUT, JAY'S FAMILY.
HIS WHOLE LIFE'S BEEN
ON A DOWNHILL ROLL.
ARE YOU REALLY SURPRISED THA THIS IS WHERE HE'S LANDED?
STILL WEARING
YOUR WATCH.
I REMEMBER BUYING
IT FOR YOU.
IT STOPPED WORKING
A YEAR AGO.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GET A NEW ONE?
SOME THINGS ARE WORTH
HANGING ONTO.
BESIDES I'D RATHER
GET IT FIXED.
WELL...
YOU MAY LOOK DIFFERENT BU YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A LICK.
STILL TOO BUSY.
PRU...
WHAT GOOD'S A WINNING STREAK IF
YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO RISK IT?
THANK YOU, CASEY.
WE'VE GOT A
10-91 AT THE COURT HOUSE.
SUSPECT, JAY CHAMBERS,
IN CUSTODY.
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING
BEFORE LIGHTS OUT?
I GOT THE SANDS OF TIME.
I GOT JONAH AND THE WHALE.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT,
BROTHER.
HEY, YOU TELL GATES I DID
EVERYTHING HE ASKED, ALRIGHT?
I DID EVERYTHING THAT HE ASKED.
WELL THEN, YOU JUST KEEP
ON PLAYING THE GAME.
YEAH, THAT AIN' PART OF THE DEAL.
'CAUSE YOU
GOT CAUGHT.
NOW...
YOU DON'T TALK
TO NO LAWYERS.
DON'T TITTER-TATTER
TO YOUR SISTER.
YOU KNOW WE'LL
KNOW IF YOU DO.
IF YOU DO...
WELL...
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
GONNA HAVE TO DO.
WHERE'S KIT?
WHERE'S MY BOY?
WHERE IS MY BOY?
OOF!
SAFE.
JUST LIKE A LITTLE
BIRD IN THE HAND.
IF YOU LAY ONE HAND
ON MY BOY, OKAY?
ONE HAND AND I
WILL RIP YOUR-
OH, YOU'RE GONNA RIP MY?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
GO ON A HUNGER STRIKE?
YOU GONNA WRITE THE LAWYERS?
GONNA SPEAK TO THE GOVERNOR?
YOU KNOW, WE KNOW
THAT YOU GO AN OUTSIDE PINCH-HITTER
COMING IN --
YOUR BROTHER IN LAW.
I'VE ALWAYS HATED LAWYERS.
PLEASE, PLEASE JUS GIVE ME A HALF
A REASON TO HURT HIM.
SLEEP SWEET.
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
HEY!
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
BOOKS, BIBLES, MAGAZINES.
YOU LOOK LOST.
NO, JUS CALIBRATING.
LOOKING FOR THE COURTROOM
WHERE THEY'RE HOLDING
BEN WINGWRIGHT, JUST SWORN
IN AS SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.
OH!
CASEY McKAY,
DEFENSE COUNSEL.
DID THEY BRING YOU
IN FROM ANOTHER COUNTY?
NO, BROUGHT ME IN
FROM RETIREMENT.
I WAS FISHING IN THE OZARKS.
- REALLY?
- YEAH, YEAH.
THEY BROUGHT IN JUDGE THORNE
FROM TWO COUNTIES OVER
FOR THE CASE, TOO.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
COURTROOM'S UPSTAIRS.
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED
THIS COURTROOM;
IT'S A THING OF BEAUTY.
THE WINDOWS ARE
THE ORIGINAL PANES,
THE SEATS WERE REFURBISHED
FROM THE ORIGINAL BLEACHERS
OF FENWAY PARK.
GO FIGURE.
I'M GLAD TO HAVE RUN
INTO YOU, MR. WINGWRIGHT.
PLEASE, BEN'S EASIER.
BEN.
I WAS THINKING THAT BEFORE
I MET WITH MY CLIENT HERE-
HE'S KIN,
ISN'T HE?
HE IS, BY
ASSOCIATION.
HE JUST SORTA CAME
WITH THE EX-WIFE.
SO IT'S A
FAVOR TO HER.
I WAS HOPING TO TES THE WATERS ON A PLEA DEAL.
25?
HMM.
40?
BE OUT IN 20.
HM.
HOW ABOUT PLEA GUILTY
TO TRESPASSING AND
CARRYING AN ILLEGAL
FIREARM?
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
A LEG TO STAND ON.
DON'T YOU CARE THA JUSTICE IS DONE AT ALL?
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
EVERYONE'S INNOCEN TILL PROVEN GUILTY.
AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
HE'S ALREADY STANDING.
WELL, MR. McKAY CALL ME
OLD FASHIONED BUT I THINK
WE OUGHT TO LET TRUTH
DECIDE THIS CASE.
YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW JUS GRADUATED FROM NE'ER-DO-WELL
SO NO SIR, THERE WILL BE NO
PLEA DEAL, NOT FOR MURDER ONE.
NOT FOR HENRY PATRICK JENKINS
OUR LATE DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
AND CERTAINLY NOT FOR
THE LIKES OF JAY CHAMBERS,
A MAN KNOWN TO THROW BRICKS
AT CARS FROM THE OVERPASS.
Y'ALL HAVE
AN OVERPASS?
OH, HEY I'M GONNA NEED THAT.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE NOTES.
I KNOW HE'S A MURDER
SUSPECT, BUT HE'S NO GONNA DOODLE ME TO DEATH.
SORRY,
JUDGE'S ORDERS.
WELL, I SEE MY SISTER
STILL GETS YOU TO DO
PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER
SHE WANTS.
SO YOU HERE TO
SAVE THE DAY?
HOW ABOUT WE STAR SAVING YOUR LIFE?
YOU ALWAYS WERE THE LEAS FAVORITE OF PRU'S HUSBANDS.
WELL, CONSIDERING
SHE ONLY HAD ONE,
I'LL TAKE THA AS A COMPLIMENT.
SO WHAT'S
THE DEAL, JAY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, I KILLED SOMEBODY.
I ALSO HEARD THAT SOMEBODY
CREPT INTO THE COURTHOUSE
WEARING A MASK AND
KILLED THE DA.
HENRY PATRICK JENKINS.
THAT THEY'VE CONFIRMED
YOUR FINGERPRINTS ON
THE GUN AND YOUR BOO PRINTS ON THE FLOOR.
BUT, THE THING THAT REALLY
MADE THE EXECUTIONER
SMILE EXTRA WIDE
IS THE FAC THAT THEY NABBED YOU FLEEING
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
WITH ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED
ON YOUR PERSON.
WHAT...
WHAT DO YOU
WANT FROM ME?
HOW ABOUT YOU STAR BY ELABORATING.
NAH, I CAN'T.
JAY, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
I REMEMBER YOU USED
TO LIKE PUZZLES, RIGHT?
READ THIS PAPER.
THERE'S A GOOD ONE
IN THERE FOR YA.
ALL RISE!
THE HONORABLE
JUDGE THORNE PRESIDING.
THE STATE OF GEORGIA
VERSUS STEVEN JAY CHAMBERS.
COUNSELOR...
YOUR CLIENT'S BEEN
CHARGED WITH...
FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
HOW DO YOU PLEAD?
GUILTY.
NOT GUILTY,
YOUR HONOR.
SHH.
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
YOU ARE NOT GONNA HAVE
A LEG TO STAND ON
IF YOU PLEAD THAT.
DO WE NEED TO TAKE A RECESS
WHILE YOU AND YOUR CLIEN DISCUSS HOW HE'D
LIKE TO PLEAD?
NO, YOUR HONOR.
NOT GUILTY.
YOUR HONOR, I'D ALSO LIKE TO
MOTION FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE.
ON WHAT GROUNDS?
SEVERAL,
YOUR HONOR.
SUCH AS?
I'D RATHER NOT HAVE THE JURY
SITTING IN THE SHADOW
OF THE CRIME SCENE,
YOUR HONOR.
THE CRIME SCENE IS WHAT IT IS,
WHETHER YOUR CLIEN COMMITTED THE
MURDER OR NOT.
MR... UH.
McKAY,
YOUR HONOR.
MR. McKAY THERE'S BEEN
MORE BLOOD SHED
WITHIN THE SHADOW
OF THAT JURY BOX
THAN YOU'D CARE TO KNOW.
THIS BUILDING
STOOD BETWEEN SHERMAN
AND THE SEA.
THERE WAS THE ASSASSINATION
OF JUDGE CALIBER IN '63.
THE RIOTS OF '74.
IF I KEEL OVER DEAD
RIGHT NOW...
I EXPECT COURT TO
BE IN SESSION AFTER LUNCH.
YES,
YOUR HONOR.
I JUST...
I'M NOT SURE THAT MY CLIEN CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL
OF HIS PEERS
IN THIS COMMUNITY
BASED ON
HIS PAST INDISCRETIONS.
I FEEL THAT A LOCAL JURY
WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME
LOOKING PAST THEIR OWN PREJUDICE
AND PRECONCEPTIONS OF
WHO MR. CHAMBERS WAS.
MR. McKAY, THIS COUNTY
IS MADE UP OF HARD-WORKING,
GOD-FEARING,
HONORABLE MEN AND WOMEN.
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO FIND A FAIR
AND IMPARTIAL JURY.
I UNDERSTAND THAT,
BUT I'D PREFER AN OUTSIDE
JURY POOL, YOUR HONOR.
SINCE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PICK YOUR JURY
YOU CAN STRIKE ANYONE
YOU'D DEEM UNFIT.
THE NEWS OF A MURDERED
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
TRAVELS FAR AND WIDE
ACROSS COUNTY LINES.
I'M NOT ABOUT TO SHIP
THAT OFF TO ANOTHER COUNTY.
NOT WITHOUT EVIDENCE THA HE CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL.
MOTION DENIED.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
WE'LL SE THE TRIAL FOR...
NOVEMBER 10th.
NOVEMBER 10th,
YOUR HONOR?
EVERYONE HAS A RIGH TO A SPEEDY TRIAL.
THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT HERE.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
COUR IS ADJOURNED.
SO 30 YEARS AGO, PRUDENCE
CHAMBERS MOVES TO NASHVILLE.
AND WHETHER IT'S BIG CITY
INEXPERIENCE OR JUST IGNORANCE,
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW IF YOU
WIND UP IN THE WRONG PAR OF TOWN AT THE WRONG
TIME OF DAY,
SOMEBODY'S GONNA WAN YOUR POCKETBOOK.
YOU TAKE IT BLACK, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
BUT FORTUNATELY...
SHE WAS RESCUED
BY A BRASH, YOUNG LAWYER
WHO TOOK DOWN HER ASSAILAN USING ONLY HIS BRIEFCASE.
A BRIEFCASE?
MMM.
LIKE MY GRAND-PAPPY USED
TO SAY, "YOU DON'T PICK
A FIGHT WITH A LAWYER."
HER ASSAILANT GO 15 YEARS IN PRISON,
AND CASEY GOT A DATE.
AND THEN, HE GO A FUTURE WIFE.
HUH.
WELL, NOW EVEN THOUGH
HE'S A NATURAL-BORN ASTROS FAN,
CASEY McKAY COMES FROM THREE
GENERATIONS OF TEXAS RANGERS.
INSTEAD OF BECOMING A LAWMAN,
HE BECAME A LAWYER,
MOVED TO NASHVILLE, WON A COUPLE
OF BIG CASES AND THEN HE PU TOGETHER A LITTLE STREAK.
BUT THEN, HE AND PRU GO DIVORCED AND SHE
MOVED BACK HOME.
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL
CAREER COLLATERAL DAMAGE.
WELL...
YOU TOLD ME WHA I NEED TO KNOW.
HMM.
THANK YOU.
AND WHAT IS THAT?
THAT THIS WILL BE A LONG,
DRAWN-OUT TRIAL THAT'LL DRAG
THIS COUNTY BEHIND IT LIKE
CANS ON A WEDDING CAR.
HMM.
WELL, MAYBE IT NEEDS
TO BE SHAKEN UP
A LITTLE BIT AROUND HERE.
I'M GETTIN' BORED.
- HEY!
- HEY.
SO...
NO PLEA?
FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER WE'RE
LUCKY JAY'S NOT ALREADY
SWINGING FROM A TREE.
SO, YEAH, NO PLEA.
SO WHAT'S THE PLAN?
YOUR BROTHER'S HOLDING I PRETTY CLOSE TO THE CHEST.
BUT, HE'S HIDING SOMETHING.
OR MAYBE HE'S
PROTECTING SOMEONE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
MAYBE HE'S...
PROTECTING KIT.
I MEAN, NO ONE'S SEEN HIM
SINCE THE SHOOTING.
HMM.
SAY, DO THE WORDS
"GO TO FORBS"
MEAN ANYTHING
TO YOU?
YEAH, IT'S THE BES I CAN DO RIGHT NOW.
BOOTS...
FROG.
BOOTS AND FROG ARE
TWO OF HIS BUDDIES.
WHAT?
NOW HOW'D
YOU DO THAT?
JAY AND I USED TO...
PLAY WORD
SCRAMBLES AS KIDS.
BUT BOOTS AND FROGS WERE
TO PICK HIM UP FROM PRISON.
BUT THEN YOU'VE
GOT TO FIND-
THEN YOU'VE GO TO FIND MY NEPHEW.
YEAH, WHAT I NEED
IS AN INVESTIGATOR
A GOOD ONE;
ONE THAT I CAN TRUST.
ANY SUGGESTIONS
IN THIS TOWN?
YEAH, I KNOW SOMEONE.
BOSS WANTS
TO SEE YOU.
OH, OKAY.
SO I DON'T GET TO
HAVE MY TOYS, HUH?
MR. EX.
GATES!
SORRY
ABOUT THE RATHER NOISY INTRUSION.
HOPEFULLY I DIDN'T DISTURB
TOO MANY OF YOUR GUESTS.
NO, NO.
- NICE CAR, THOUGH.
- YEAH.
HOW IS THIS HOSPITALITY
BUSINESS WORKING OUT FOR YA?
WELL, IT'S A LITTLE
SLOW THESE DAYS.
BUT AS LONG AS IT KEEPS
YOUR KNICKERS IN A KNOT,
I'M HAPPY.
THAT'S
HURTIN' MY FEELINGS.
AND IT'S GONNA HUR ME EVEN MORE
WHEN I DO WHA I'M GONNA DO.
YOU KNOW, I COULD
TELL BY YOUR FACE
THAT YOU'RE IN
A LOT OF PAIN.
WHOA, NOW!
OOH!
WHOA, WHOA.
OH SORRY, SORRY;
IT'S JUST A REFLEX.
OH!
SEE...
YOU BRING THIS
ON YOURSELF.
YEAH, MY FIRST SERGEANT TOLD
ME I WAS A GLUTTON FOR PAIN.
OR MAYBE THAT WAS
MY SECOND WIFE.
I GET THEM MIXED UP.
WELL YOU
MUST THINK YOU'RE A CLEVER MAN
BUYING THIS LITTLE
COCKROACH MOTEL.
THE THING IS, YOU FORGO TO GET THE PARKING LOT.
OH, I'M SORRY,
DID YOU NEED THIS PLOT?
THAT DOG TRACK'S GOING AHEAD.
IT'S INEVITABLE.
I DON'T KNOW.
BY THE TIME I GET DONE WITH YOU,
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA
BE ABLE TO RUN FOR LIBRARIAN,
MUCH LESS MAYOR.
YOU SEE...
YOU DO THIS
TO YOURSELF.
YEAH, IT WAS DEFINITELY
MY SECOND WIFE THAT SAID THAT.
HAVE AT IT.
OH NO, HERE
COMES GILLIGAN.
NEED A STOOL THERE,
LITTLE BUDDY?
CAN YOU REACH ME?
GAH!
THAT DIDN'T HURT.
YOU GO AHEAD
AND FINISH THAT OFF.
I'VE GOT A LONG
MEMORY, LURCH.
BETTER MAKE IT GOOD.
AH, YEAH.
HEY, PERFECT TIMING!
WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE
AND HAND ME A FLATHEAD?
RIGHT UP THERE ON TOP.
ANY TIME, SWEETHEART.
THERE YOU GO.

OH, YEAH.
I CUT MYSELF SHAVING.
NAME'S EX.

SO IS THAT "X,"
LIKE THE ONE LETTER?
NO, TWO
LETTERS, YOU KNOW.
LIKE "EX" COP, EX-MARINE,
EX-BOUNTY HUNTER,
EX-BOXER, EX-HUSBAND.
YOU GET THE IDEA.
WELL, THE NAME'S
CASEY McKAY.
THAT'S THE RUMOR.
I'LL JUS RUN YOUR CARD.
SURE.
BUSINESS IS
BOOMING, HUH?
OH, WELL
LET'S JUST SAY
YOU'RE GONNA GE THE EISENHOWER SUITE.
NOW, WHEN I BOUGHT THIS PLACE
IT DIDN'T COME WITH A MAID.
SO, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO DO YOUR OWN BEDDING.
SHEETS AND TOWELS ARE
IN THE CLOSET.
BREAKFAST DOWN HERE A SEVEN A.M. EVERY MORNING.
AND...
I MEAN, IF YOU NEED ANY
OF THOSE LITTLE SHAMPOOS
OR SOMETHING, I'M SURE THERE'S
A BOX AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
LOOK, PARDON ME FOR
SAYING SO, BUT...
INN KEEPER JUST DOESN' HAVE QUITE THE SAME BRAVADO
AS SOME OF YOUR
PAST VOCATIONS HAD.
WELL, THERE'S A SNAKE TRYING
TO BUILD A DOG TRACK AROUND
HERE AND HE WANTS THIS LAND.
YEAH?

TO A DOG TRACK?
NO, I CAN'T SAY
THAT I HAVE.
EVER SEEN WHAT GAMBLING
CAN DO TO PEOPLE?
WELL...
WELL, I KILLED MY MOM.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY.
I'LL POINT YOU IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
AND BY THE WAY...

THANK YOU.

HEY THERE,
BIG CITY.
YOU THINK
YOU CAN JUST...
ROLL UP HERE
WITH THEM
FANCY CAR
AND THEM BOOTS
AND CONVINCE A GUILTY
MAN TO PLEAD NOT GUILTY?
ACTUALLY IT'S
CALLED A TRIAL.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT KEEPS
TROUBLED BOYS LIKE YOURSELVES
FROM GETTING FLUSHED
DOWN THE TOILET.
CHAMBERS, IS
GUILTY AS SIN.
AND YOU KNOW IT.
SO YOU JUST LET HIM ROLL
OVER AND BE DONE WITH IT.

DON'T TAKE YOUR
HANDS OFF MY SUIT.
JUST...
GET HIM TO CHANGE
THE PLEA, ALL RIGHT?
YOU'VE BACKED ME INTO
A CORNER HERE, FELLAS

SO UNLESS YOU STEP OFF, YOU'RE

Y'ALL BETTER STAR DIGGING UP MASON JARS,
BECAUSE WHEN I'M FINISHED
DRAGGING YOU ACROSS THE LAW
YOU'LL BE SO BROKE

YOU WON'T BE ABLE
TO PAY ATTENTION.
MY GRANDDADDY TOOK ON
A GANG OF OUTLAWS WITH
NOTHING BUT A PAIR OF
SPURS AND A BUFFALO BONE.
I RECKON I CAN HANDLE
THE LOT OF YOU.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
CALL AN AMBULANCE?
AH, YOU
BROKE MY NOSE.
I DON'T KNOW,
I'M GOOD.
YOU GOOD?
YEAH, I'M GOOD.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
CALL THE COPS.
NAH...
NO, I THINK JUSTICE
WAS SERVED TODAY.
OW.
SO WHO WERE
THOSE KNUCKLEHEADS?
MR. GATES' MEN.
ONE OF THOSE HAN-YONKERS
DROPPED THIS.
HMM.
J.C.?
JAY CHAMBERS.
I GAVE ONE TO EACH
OF MY GROOMSMEN.
JAY CHAMBERS WAS ONE
OF YOUR GROOMSMEN?
WELL, FOR
THE REHEARSAL.
NEVER MADE
THE WEDDING.
YOU KNOW JAY?
I KNOW HE USED TO BE
ONE OF GATES' MEN.
YOU AND I MIGHT BE FIGHTING
DIFFERENT BATTLES
IN THE SAME WAR.
I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD A FIGHTIN' WITH WORDS AND PAPER.
I DROWN IN ALL THAT LEGALESE
MUMBO-JUMBO.
AND I DON'T KNOW A LOOPHOLE
FROM A LILY PAD.
BUT I WILL BE YOUR P.I.
PRO BONO IF YOU'LL HELP
ME FIGHT THIS DOG TRACK.
I THOUGHT YOUR
LICENSE EXPIRED.
YEAH, AND SO DID
MY BOXING LICENSE.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU
COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT.
GOT YOURSELF
A DEAL.
IT COMES WITH
THE ROOM.
LOOKS LIKE IT.
YEAH, I KNOW
OF JAY CHAMBERS.
I WAS THERE WHEN HE
CAUGHT MR. MILLER'S
FIELD ON FIRE.
YOUR HONOR, I REQUEST THIS JUROR
BE REMOVED ON BASIS OF CAUSE.
AGREED, YOU MAY
STEP DOWN.
WELL, I DIDN' KNOW JAY DIRECTLY.
BUT, MY SISTER WAS
HIS SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.
AND SHE SAID HE WAS
THE MEANEST CHILD IN CHURCH.
ONE CHRISTMAS, HE PU EX-LAX IN THE PUNCH.
IT WAS THIS EGG-NOG
LOOKING STUFF.
'COURSE THERE WAS NO
ALCOHOL IN IT.
THIS THE DEVIL'S JUICE.
EX-LAX DOESN' SOUND ANY BETTER.
YOUR HONOR...
I MOVE TO STRIKE.
MA'AM, YOU
ARE EXCUSED.
WELL, ONE
TIME HE...
MOVE TO STRIKE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE HE
KNOCKED OUT THE GROOM
RIGHT AT THE CEREMONY?
YOUR HONOR...
PRESENTED WITH THE
EVIDENCE, YOU COULD
COME TO A FAIR VERDICT?
EVEN IF THE PUNISHMEN WAS DEATH?
I BELIEVE WE
REAP WHAT WE SOW.
THAT'S WHAT MY MAMA TAUGHT ME.
YOUR HONOR,
I'M GOOD WITH THIS JUROR-
YOUR HONOR...
I OBJECT.
WILL COUNSEL PLEASE
APPROACH THE BENCH?
COUNSELOR, YOU CAN'T EXCUSE
ALL OF THE AVAILABLE JURORS.
FINE, I'LL ALLOW HIM.
THANK YOU.
GREAT, WE HAVE OUR FIRST JUROR.
BAILIFF, WOULD YOU BRING IN THE
NEXT BATCH OF POTENTIAL JURORS?
ALL RISE FOR THE NEX BATCH OF POTENTIAL JURORS.
COME IN.
- HEY!
- HEY.
OH, I REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO
DO THIS TO MY DINING ROOM.
THAT ROOM ALWAYS HAD
THE BEST LIGHT.
HMMM.
HEY BOSS, WE'RE IN BUSINESS-
PRU!
HEY, SOLOMON.
HOW ARE YA?
GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
PRETTY GOOD CONSIDERING
MY ADVANCED AGE.
Y'ALL ARE FRIENDS?
OH YEAH WE UH...
WE GO WAY BACK.
WHAT?
YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM?
PRU AND I
USED TO DATE.
HA, HA!
DATE? HA, HA!
WHAT?
- YOU NEED SOMETHIN'?
- NO, BUT YOU DO.
THIS IS
JASON "FROG" STITTUM.
HE'S GOT A MOTHER IN
A NURSING HOME.
SHE HASN'T SEEN
HIM IN A WEEK,
AND HE USUALLY COMES
BY EVERY SATURDAY.
AND THIS IS
MICHAEL "BOOTS" KILLBY.
HE'S GOT A VERY SCARED,
ANGRY, AND DESPERATE WIFE.
SHE HASN'T SEEN HIM
SINCE JAY GOT OUT.
APPARENTLY, SHE OVERHEARD A
CONVERSATION WHERE THEY WERE
PLANNING TO MEET AT A BARN
NEAR THE BOOTLEGGER PATH
WHICH WOULD BE RIGHT HERE.
GATES OWNS MOST OF THAT LAND.
ANY IDEA WHAT THA MEETING WAS ABOUT?
I'D SAY THE THREE OF THEM WERE
THERE TO CUT BAIT.
KIT MUST HAVE
BEEN AT THAT BARN TOO
BECAUSE HE WENT WITH
HIM TO GO PICK UP JAY.
IF JAY GOT THAT BOY IN TROUBLE,
HE'D BE LUCKY TO FRY.
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO
CHECK THAT OUT.
YEAH, WE ARE.
PRU, COULD WE UH...
COULD WE CHANGE LUNCH TO DINNER?
- HMMM... I'M BOOKED.
- TOMORROW?
UMMM... THURSDAY?
THAT'S PERFECT.
OKAY.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO
JOIN US, EX.
HEY, THAT SOUNDS FUN.
I WOULDN'T MISS IT.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT COMIN'
TO DINNER, RIGHT?
IT MIGHT LOOK PRETTY,
BUT THE BACKWOODS OF
CHEROKEE HILLS IS WHAT PRODUCED
ALL OF GATES' MEN.
HMPH... AND YOU?
I'M TOO PRETTY TO BE FROM THE
BACKWOODS OF CHEROKEE HILLS!
WAS THIS REALLY
THAT NECESSARY?
NAH, WE COULD HAVE JUST TAKEN
YOUR FLASHY SPORTS CAR;
PARKED IT IN FRONT OF
A POTENTIAL CRIME SCENE
OWNED BY A
POTENTIAL MURDERER;
AND THEN JUS SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
SO YOU STILL GOT A
THING FOR PRU, HUH?
SHE WAS MY WIFE.
SO WHAT?
I'VE HAD 3 OF 'EM.
I'M NOT TRYING TO GE ANY OF 'EM BACK!
YEAH, BUT THEY
WEREN'T PRU.
THAT'S TRUE.
IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS, MAN.
WHY DO YOU CANOW?
I ALWAYS CARED, I JUST DIDN' KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF
ALL THIS, EX?
WELL...
PEOPLE DON'T JUST VANISH
IN MY EXPERIENCE;
SOMEBODY MAKES 'EM
DISAPPEAR SO... HMMM.
BULLET HOLE.
THAT'S A .45.
YES, IT IS.
THAT'S A 9 MILLIMETER THERE,
AND THEN TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS... DIFFERENT ANGLE.
THAT LEADS ME TO THINK
THAT THIS THERE IS UH-
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED
TO BOOTS AND FROG.
I JUST HOPE KIT WASN'T HERE
WHEN THIS WENT DOWN.
I'M NOT EX-FORENSICS BUT I'D BE
WILLING TO BET THA PINBALL MACHINE THAT WE'RE GONNA
FIND SEVEN SHOOTERS BECAUSE
GATES USUALLY RUNS IN SEVENS.
I DON'T KNOW, THE MOST I CAN
FIGURE HERE IS SIX.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO
BULLET HOLES ON THIS WALL SO...
MAYBE BOOTS, FROG, AND KI GOT AMBUSHED?
IF I WAS GONNA DO AN AMBUSH,
MIGHT DO IT RIGHERE, SEE?
SIX SHOOTERS...
SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE GANG...
SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE GANG.
THESE GUYS ARE GOOD.
I DON'T SEE BLOOD ANYWHERE.
YOU KNOW, MY DADDY USED TO TAKE
ME HUNTING A LO WHEN I WAS A KID.
HE PUT A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON ME
TAGGING MY FIRST DEER.
AND THEN ONE DAY I FOUND MYSELF
AIMING AT AN 8-POINT BUCK.
SO I RAISED MY GUN AND I HAD
THAT DEER IN MY SIGHTS.
BUT...
I JUST COULDN'T DO IT,
SO I SHOT HIGH.
YOU COULDN' SHOOTDEER?
WHAT A WIMP!
NO, NOT A WIMP...
I WAS JUST SCARED.
WE NEED TO FIND
WTHAT IS.
THERE'S GOTTA BE
SOME KIND OF LINK BETWEEN
WHAT HAPPENED HERE,
AND THE MURDER OF THAT D.A.
UM-HMM.
SIT IT RIGHT BY THERE
BY THE WINDOWS.
SORRY, COME ON.
PARKING CLOSER TO THE
BARN DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SUCH A
BAD IDEA NOW DOES IT?
COME ON.
DUSTY, WHY DIDN'T YOU
HEAR THAT GUNSHOT?
UM, THE TRAIN.
I MEAN, EVERYONE KNOWS HOW LOUD
IT GETS;
THE CLANGING AND BANGING
LIKE A GUNSHO EVERY COUPLE OF CARS OR SO...
FREEZE!
GUN! GET ON THE GROUND!
- GET ON THE GROUND!
- GET ON THE GROUND NOW!
- GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!
- GET ON THE GROUND!
GET DOWN!
DROP THE WEAPON!
- I'M DROPPING MY GUN NOW.
- DROP THE WEAPON!
GET DOWN! GET DOWN! GET DOWN!
SO YOU SAW WHO
STANDING OVER THE BODY,
OF MR. JENKINS?
THAT FELLA OVER THERE.
LET THE RECORD SHOW THA THE WITNESS HAS IDENTIFIED
THE DEFENDANT, JAY CHAMBERS.
THANK YOU, DUSTY.
NO MORE QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.
YOUR WITNESS, MR. McKAY.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
SO...
DUSTY, YOU UH...
YOU LIKE MUSIC?
UM...
YES SIR, LOVE MUSIC.
YEAH, WHAT KIND
OF MUSIC?
UM... REALLY
ANYTHING THAT MOVES.
RIGHT, RIGHT. A LOT OF DRUMS,
CYMBALS... STUFF LIKE THAT?
YES, OH ABSOLUTELY.
YES, SIR. UH...
ANYTHING THAT MOVES LIKE I SAID.
IN FACT, YOU WERE LISTENING TO
MUSIC THE NIGHT OF THE
MURDER, WEREN'T YOU?
OH YES, SIR.
YES, SIR.
I MEAN, I LISTEN...
I MEAN, I LISTEN TO
MUSIC EVERY NIGHT SO...
NICE AND LOUD?
OH UM...
PROBABLY A LITTLE LOUDER
THAN MY DOCTOR WOULD LIKE.
TOO LOUD TO HEAR A GUNSHOT?
HUH?
WELL, ISN'T IT POSSIBLE
OR EVEN LIKELY THAT UH...
D.A. JENKINS WAS SHOT FAR
EARLIER THAN YOU SAY?
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
HE'S ASKING THE
WITNESS TO SPECULATE.
OVERRULED... CONTINUE.
WELL, BEFORE MY CLIENT EVEN
ENTERED THE BUILDING...
AND LONG BEFORE THE TRAIN
ROLLED THROUGH TOWN...
IS IT POSSIBLE YOU
DIDN'T HEAR THE GUNSHOT?
I'M SURE I WOULD'VE
HEARDGUNSHOT.
AHEM.
MAY I UH...
APPROACH THE WITNESS YOUR HONOR?
PROCEED.
NOW DUSTY, CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS
AS YOUR HEADSET?
YES SIR, IT WAS MY FATHER'S.
WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO DO IS PU THE HEADSET ON AND ADJUST THE
VOLUME TO THAT LEVEL YOUR
DOCTOR SAYS IS TOO LOUD.
- OKAY.
- OKAY.
AND THEN I WANT YOU TO
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRESS PLAY,
AND RAISE YOUR HAND WHEN YOU
HEAR THIS BOOK HIT THE FLOOR.
YES, SIR.
PROCEED.
CLOSE YOUR EYES
LET YOUR TROUBLES SLIP AWAY
JUST IMAGINE
AHEM...
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.
THANK YOU, DUSTY.
SO HOW DO WE FIND
THIS SEVENTH SHOOTER?
IT'S HIM.
RATCHET?
UM-HMM NERVOUS AS ALWAYS.
HE'S THE ONE; HE'S THE ONE
WHO AIMED HIGH.
IT TAKES ONE
TO KNOW ONE.
SO WHAT WAS YOUR LAS MEMORY OF THAT EVENING?
I SAW JAY CHAMBERS RUNNING
OUT OF THE BUILDING
WITH A GUN IN HIS HAND.
NOW, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THA YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED
TWICE IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS-
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
UNLESS THE DEFENSE
WANTS TO ADD LARCENY
TO HIS CLIENT'S CHARGES,
HOW IS THIS RELEVANT?
YOUR HONOR, IF I MAY HAVE
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY?
I'LL GET TO THE POINT.
VERY WELL, MAKE IT QUICK.
NOW YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED
TWICE, IS THAT CORRECT?
AND YOU WERE ABLE TO CALL 911
DURING BOTH OF THOSE ROBBERIES?
- YES.
- OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
MR. McKAY...
YES, YOUR HONOR.
MY QUESTION IS,
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE
THE POLICE TO ARRIVE
AFTER YOU MADE THOSE CALLS?
IT FELT LIKE A
LIFETIME... FOREVER.
TEN MINUTES MAYBE.
HMM...
NOW LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
IT TOOK TEN MINUTES FOR THE
POLICE TO ARRIVE FOR
YOUR TWO BREAK-INS,
BUT THOSE FOUR SQUAD CARS
MADE IT TO THE COURTHOUSE IN
UNDER 28 SECONDS
AFTER THE D.A. WAS MURDERED.
28 SECONDS...
GIVE OR TAKE A MISSISSIPPI.
NOW HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT.
I GUESS THEY WERE CALLED BEFORE
HE WAS MURDERED.
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR...
THAT'S CONJECTURE!
ORDER IN THE COURT!
THAT'S CONJECTURE.
SUSTAINED, PLEASE STRIKE
THAT FROM THE RECORD.
JURY, PLEASE IGNORE THA LAST STATEMENT.
COUNSEL, SAVE YOUR THEORIES
FOR YOUR CLOSING ARGUMENT.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
I'M SORRY...
ONE MOMENT, YOUR HONOR?
KEEP IT BRIEF, COUNSEL.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
HERE ARE
ALL THE PENDING CASES THE D.A.
HAD BEFORE HIS MURDER.
GUESS WHO MAY HAVE HAD A GREA BIG BEEF WITH THE DECEASED?
YOUR GOOD BUDDY,
ARCHIBALD GATES?
UM-HMM, AND GUESS WHOSE CASE
SUDDENLY GOT SHELVED?
MY MAN, BEN WINGWRIGHT, IS GONNA
NEED TO REOPEN THAT CASE.
[TAPPINTHANKS, EX.
COUNSEL McKAY,
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANNA
SHARE WITH THE COURT?
MY APOLOGIES, YOUR HONOR.
PULL!
PULL!
NOT BAD.
- YOU WANNA SHOT?
- NAH, I'M GOOD.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
I DID.
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE
YOU TO REOPEN YOUR
PREDECESSOR'S CASE
ON MR. GATES.
WELL, ALL HIS CASES
HAVE BEEN SHELVED
UNTIL THEY FIND
A REPLACEMENT.
BUT YOU COULD
OPEN THEM.
I'VE GOT ENOUGH ON MY
PLATE WITH YOCLIENT.
YEAH, I'VE READ
THE CASE FILE.
YOU'RE SPENDING MORE
TIME INVESTIGATING
ME THAN JAY CHAMBERS.
EX HAS TOLD ME
A LOT ABOUT YOU.
FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS,
YOU'VE PAVED THE WAY
FOR MEN LIKE
HENRY PATRICK JENKINS.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN THE PILLAR,
BUT YOU'VE BEEN THE BEDROCK.
WHY DO I WANT TO
REOPEN THIS CASE?
BECAUSE I BELIEVE
MR. GATES
HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE D.A.'S MURDER.
I DOUBT IT.
DOUBTING ONE'S DOUBTS MAKES A
SECOND CHANCE POSSIBLE.
FALSELY ACCUSING
MR. GATES
IS A DANGEROUS GAME
EVEN FOR SOMEONE
LIKE YOU.
PULL.
REOPEN THA CASE ON GATES...
AND WATCH
WHAT HAPPENS.
HMM.
"NEW CHAPTER, LOVE PRU".
CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?
A PACK OF PEANUTS?
A BUCKET OF ICE?
I DO REALLY LIKE WHA YOU'VE DONE WITH THE PLACE.
YEAH, IT REALLY SETS THE MOOD.
THE BOSS IS WAITIN' FOR YOU.
TURN AROUND SLOWLY.
OR ELSE MY DADDY'S GUN IS GONNA
BLAST YOU TO THE MOON.
EX.
HEY, WE'RE BUSY TODAY.
MR. CASEY.
UH... MR. GATES,
I PRESUME?
WELL, IT SEEMS TO ME...
AS YOU'RE DIGGIN'
JAY'S GRAVE,
YOU'RE SHOVELING SOME
DIRT ON ME.
OH, I'M NOT IN THE BUSINESS
OF DIGGING GRAVES.
WHAT ARE YA IN THE BUSINESS OF?
JUSTICE.
WELL, I'VE GOT MY OWN
JUSTICE, MR. McKAY.
HEY, LOOK... LOOK.
DON'T SUGARCOAT IT.
JUST THREATEN ME LIKE A MAN
AND THEN WALK AWAY.
SEE, I GOTTA DATE TONIGHT SO...
HMPH.
I WASN'T THREATENING YOU.
I WAS JUST GIVING YOU
A FRIENDLY WARNING.
SAME DIFFERENCE.
NO, NO, NO.
YOU SEE, A THREAT...
WOULD GO SOMETHING LITHIS.
YOU TRY AND PIN
SOME DIRT ON ME,
MY BOYS HERE WILL
PUT YOU IN A GRAVE.
NTHAT'S A THREAT.
NOW A WARNING WOULD BE
MORE LIKE...
WHILE I SUPPORT YOUR
SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH,
IF YOU SLANDER MY NAME
IN THE PROCESS, I WILL SUE.
WELL, THAT'S A THREA TOO ISN'T IT? YEAH... AH...
COLT SINGLE ACTION .45.
YOU KNOW, SOME FOLKS SAY THAT'S
THE GUN THAT WYATT EARP
USED AT THE O.K. CORRAL,
BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE.
HE ACTUALLY HAD A SMITH AND
WESSON MODEL THREE.
G'DAY? HMM...
YEAH, MY DADDY
WAS A COLLECTOR.
I HAVE HIS COL SINGLE ACTION .44
AND HIS DOUBLE
ACTION .41.
WOW, DID YOU KNOW THIS...
BILLY THE KID USED
TO CARRY THEM.
HE CALLED ONE "THUNDER" AND THE
OTHER ONE WAS "LIGHTNING."
THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT!
YOU KNOW, I ALSO HAVE MY DADDY'S
WINCHESTER .73 TUCKED
AWAY IN MY CLOSET...
FOR THE UNINVITED
SO-TO-SPEAK.
WOW... IT'S VERY
RARE TO MEET ANOTHER AFICIONADO.
OH, YOU WOULD HAVE
LOVED MY DADDY.
AND HE WOULD HAVE
LOVED THIS TOWN.
ALL Y'ALL ACTING LIKE
IT'S THE WILD WEST.
BETWEEN YOU AND EX, I'M JUST...
I'M JUST SURPRISED YOU DON' SETTLE THIS AT HIGH NOON.
IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SOLOMON?
YOU AND ME, HIGH NOON,
THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
WE'LL SHOOT IT OUT FOR THIS
LITTLE RAT-MOTEL OF YOURS?
IF IT'S JUST YOU AND ME...
ANY TIME, ANY PLACE.
YOU SEE, SOLOMON THERE...
HE'S YOUR SIDE
OF THE COIN.
ME? I WAS BORN DIRT POOR.
BUT EX'S MAMA WAS VERY
GOOD AT MAKING MONEY.
SEE EVERYTHING I HAVE...
I WENT TO THE DOG TRACK...
SEE, I GAMBLED EVERYTHING;
WENT ALL-IN.
MADE ME THE MAN I AM TODAY.
SO THE OPPORTUNITIES AROUND HERE
TO MAKE IT RICH ARE VERY SLIM.
SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE
A CHANCE OF SUCCESS
LIKE I HAD... YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T STRIKE ME
AS A GAMBLING MAN.
ACTUALLY, I THINK YOU'RE THE
KINDA GUY THAT LIKES
TO STACK THE DECK
IN HIS FAVOR.
NOW I'M WILLING TO BET THA YOU HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH D.A. JENKINS' DEATH.
AND SO I'M GONNA STICK AROUND
'TIL YOU'RE BEHIND BARS.
NOW THAT'S A THREAT.
IT WAS.
AND SO IS THIS...
YOUR PET SNAKE OVER
THERE, GERALDO...
IF HE DOESN'T GIVE
ME MY WATCH BACK,
I'M GONNA THROW HIM HEAD FIRS THROUGH THAT PINBALL MACHINE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TALKED
ABOUT MY MAMA, GATES.
COME ON, BOYS.
NOW CASEY, BY LAW AM I ALLOWED
TO START SHOOTING YET?
I DON'T KNOW,
ARE THEY TRESPASSING?
OH, THEY'RE
DEFINITELY TRESPASSING.
THEN YES, SIR.
YOU CAN LEGALLY START SHOOTING.
YOU GONNA GET THAT?
OH, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
YEAH, IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT.
HELLO? YES! WHY YES WE
DO HAVE VACANCIES!
WELL, GOOD.
WE'LL SEE YA IN A FEW, THANKS!
HEY, GOOD NEWS...
FIRST CUSTOMER!
ACTUALLY YOUR SECOND.
OH SORRY, YEAH... SECOND.
YOU KNOW MR. GATES,
I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT...
YOU'RE ONE MAN SHORT...
RATCHET IS IT?
YEAH...
YEAH, RATCHET'S SICK.
RIGHT.
I'LL GIVE YA THIS...
FOR A LAWYER,
YOU'VE GOT TEETH.
WELL, NOT ALL OF US
START OUT AS LAWYERS.
WELL...
I'M REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD TO
TALKIN' GUNS AGAIN WITH YOU.
I'M SURE WE WILL.
SOON.
- SOON.
- COME ON... LET'S GO.
SEE YA, FELLAS!
GERALDO...
WHOOPS.
Y'ALL FORGOT SOMETHIN'.
OHH... AHH!
PICK HIM UP.
AH! AHHH! HEY!
COME ON, WE GOTTA
CHECK ON PRU.
BRING THAT SCATTER
GUN WITH YA.
GATES WAS ONE MAN SHORT.
LET'S DO IT.
PRU?
DON'T YOU DO IT,
CASEY MCKAY!
HEY, HEY, TAKE IT EASY.
WOULD YOU MIND LOWERING
THE GUN, PLEASE?
- YOU'RE LATE.
- YEAH, YEAH. WELL, WE WERE BUSY.
NOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH
THAT SHOTGUN ANYWAY?
SOMEBODY'S RINGIN'
MY DOORBELL AFTER DARK-
BAD GUYS DON' RING DOORBELLS!
YEAH, WELL...
I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.
BESIDES, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO
CALL YOU THE WHOLE WAY UP HERE.
I'VE BEEN BUSY.
COME ON.
HE WAS WORRIED GATES HAD
GOTTEN TO ME.
SCARED ME TO DEATH.
I'M SORRY, AUNT PRU.
HEY, KIT.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
WHY DON'T YOU UH... WHY DON' YOU GO ON AND TAKE A SEAT.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE SAFE;
WE'VE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
SO WHERE YOU BEEN?
HIDING.
YEAH? WHY?
IT'S OKAY, KIT.
YOU CAN TRUST HIM.
UNCLE CASEY, MY...
MY FATHER...
HE KILLED MR. JENKINS.
HMM.
AND YOU KNOW THIS
FOR A FACT?
OF COURSE I KNOW.
MY WHOLE LIFE, HE'S BEEN TELLING
ME HE'S GONNA CHANGE;
TELLING ME HE'S NOT GONNA
MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE.
HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
HE MADE 'EM A THOUSAND TIMES AND
LOOK WHERE IT'S GOTTEN HIM.
LOOK, I JUST CAME TO SEE AUN PRU TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS SAFE
BEFORE WE GET OUTTA TOWN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT HE KILLED HIM?
I WAS THERE.
D.A. JENKINS
IS A PROBLEM AND HE'S A LIABILITY.
THAT ENDS TONIGHT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
OR... YOU COULD END UP
LIKE BOOTS AND FROG.
ATTA BOY.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
IT'S OVER, HUH?
YOU CAN COME ON BACK HERE,
I'LL BE GONE.
YOU AND YOUR BOY HERE CAN
RIDE OFF INTO THE
SUNSET FOR ALL I CARE.
AND I DON' CAUSE YOU'RE DEAD TO ME.
WE'RE GONNA GE IN THAT R.V., RIGHT?
CHECK THE WATER PRESSURE
IN THE SHOWER?
GET IN THE CAB...
QUIT STALLIN'.
HEY, THE THREE OF US?
TFOUR OF US.
THE FOUR OF US ARE GONNA
BE IN THAT R.V. SOON.
THE FOUR OF YOU? HOW?
WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO?
[SIGHIT'S OKAY, BABY.
YOU CAN COME ON OUT.
UM, CASEY.
THIS HERE'S STELLA.
SO THESE TWO HAVE
BEEN MARRIED A YEAR NOW.
I SENT YOU AN INVITATION.
NOW, KIT UH...
ABOUT THE GUNSHOT.
DID YOU ACTUALLY HEAR IT?
WELL, NO.
THERE WAS THE TRAIN...
SIRENS AND A BUNCH OF COMMOTION
FREEZE!
GET ON THE GROUND!
WHAT ABOUT MY DAD?
OH, YOUR DADDY'S GOING
BACK AWAY FOR A WHILE, BOY.
HEY, DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
GET BACK IN HERE!
HEY!
AH...
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
REMAIN SILEN ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN
AND WILL BE USED
AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.
YOU HAVE THE RIGH TO AN ATTORNEY.
IF YOU CAN NO AFFORD AN ATTORNEY,
YOU'RE TO BE PROVIDED ONE.
WATCH YOUR HEAD.
WELL, I USED THE MONEY
WE'D SAVED TO BUY THAT R.V.
AND WE'VE BEEN HIDING OU IN IT EVER SINCE;
MOVIN' TO A NEW
SPOT EVERY DAY.
SAY, EX...
HMM?
RATCHET WASN'T THERE
TONIGHT; DO YOU THINK YOU
CAN FIND HIM AND
FLIP HIM?
OH, PROBABLY.
GREAT.
KIT, I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO HIDE
OUT HERE.
NO. UNCLE CASEY, WE'RE LEAVING
TOWN AND YOU CAN'T STOP US.
NOW LOOK... LOOK KIT...
IF THE PROSECUTOR GETS A HOLD
OF YOU NOW,
WE MIGHT AS WELL BUY THE FLOWERS
FOR YOUR DADDY'S FUNERAL.
NOW YOU MAY BE DONE WITH HIM,
BUT I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT THAT.
NO, SIR.
PRU...
- YEAH?
- YOU GOT TODAY'S PAPER?
I THINK WE'D BETTER SEND
A MESSAGE TO JAY.
YEAH.
YOU GOT A PACKAGE.
HE WANTED ME TO SCARE THE
D.A. OFF HIS SCENT;
SCARE HIM FROM DIGGING AROUND IN
MR. GATES' PERSONAL AFFAIRS.
I DIDN'T WEAR A MASK...
GUN IN HAND...
HE JUST WANTED ME
TO SCARE HIM.
THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME.
HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE NO LYING JUST TO GET A DEAL?
AND WHY IS IT NOW THAT YOU'RE
WILLING TO TESTIFY?
BECAUSE...
BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE
A GRANDFATHER...
AND MY BOY'S GONNA BE
A FATHER.
I WILL SPEND AN ETERNITY IN
PRISON BEFORE I LIVE
TO SEE SOMEONE HURT THEM,
OKAY?
NOW, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE SAFE.
MAN, I'M JUST NOTHIN' BUT A CON
WITH NOTHIN' TO LOSE...
BUT A SECOND CHANCE TO GAIN.
HE WAS BLACKMAILING YOU?
HE WAS GONNA HURT MY BOY.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
HENRY HAD BEGUN AN
INVESTIGATION ON GATES.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PROOF YE TO BRING HIM DOWN,
BUT DEFINITELY ENOUGH
TO SCARE HIM.
IF WHAT HE'S SAYING IS TRUE,
THERE'S NO TELLING HOW
FAR GATES WILL GO.
I THINK THE D.A. HAD ALREADY
BEEN SHOT BEFORE JAY GOT TO HIM.
I THINK GATES SET HIM UP...
GAVE HIM THE SAME GUN
WITH THE SAME USED SHELL
STILL IN THE CHAMBER.
IN FACT,
I'M CONVINCED OF IT.
IN 30 YEARS OF BREAKING THE LAW,
JAY NEVER ONCE USED A GUN.
YOU REALLY THINK THEY
WERE LISTENING?
WE'LL SEE.
YOU THINK IT'LL WORK?
IT BETTER OR JAY'S
GONNA BE FOUND GUILTY.
WELL, DUSTY CAN'T SEEM TO
FIX THE POWER OVER THERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE WHOLE BACK SECTION HAS
BEEN OUT SINCE WE GOT STARTED.
BEN, I'LL CATCH
UP WITH YOU LATER.
- MR.
- HEY, JENKINS...
WE'RE POSTPONING THE
CLOSING ARGUMENTS
FOR A NEW WITNESS.
WILL JAY CHAMBERS
PLEASE TAKE THE STAND?
MR. McKAY,
YOUR WITNESS.
MR. McKAY!
YOUR HONOR, I'D LIKE TO
REQUEST A SHORT RECESS.
ON WHAT GROUNDS?
UH, YOUR HONOR... I COULD
USE THAT RECESS AS WELL.
WE'LL TAKE AN EARLY LUNCH
AND RECONVENE IN 2 HOURS SHARP.
WHAT ABOUT THE PLAN?
THEY JUMPED THE PLAN.
YOU WANTTHEM
TO JUMP.
YEAH, BUT NOT WITH PRU.
LISTEN-
JAY, I'LL HANDLE IT.
IF YOU'RE
NOT BACK IN TWO HOURS,
I'M GONNA PLEAD GUILTY,
ALRIGHT?
NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA GE HURT BECAUSE OF ME.
THIS ENDS WITH ME, CASEY.
I HOPE THAT'S
ENOUGH TIME.
I GUESS THEY REALLY
WERE LISTENING.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOUR GREAT,
GREAT-GRANDDADDY WAS
THE MAN WHO CHASED
CUTTHROAT JIMMY
OF WEST TEXAS.
YOU DIDN'T ASK.
YEAH.
THERE'S A FEW LEGENDS IN YOUR
FAMILY, ISN'T THERE?
RANGERS...
ALL THAT KINDA THING?
SEE, THAT GOT ME THINKIN' HOW
SOMEONE LIKE YOU COULD
POSSIBLY GET CLOSE TO ME AND
MAYBE IN FACT BRING ME DOWN.
WELL, YOU SEE NOW...
IF I WAS ONE THEM...
YOU'D ALREADY BE SWINGIN'
AT THE END OF A ROPE.
NOW WHERE'S MY WIFE?
PRUDENCE...
OUCH.
NOW
HERE'S WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN...
YOU'RE GONNA GET JAY TO
INCRIMINATE HIMSELF, AND YOU...
ARE GOING TO
GET OUT OF MY TOWN.
AND WE'RE ALL GONNA GE BACK TO NORMAL.
NAH, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN;
HOW ABOUT YOU AND I CUT A DEAL?
NOW, WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
I'M THE ONE HOLDING
ALL THE CARDS.
YOU'RE HOLDING
ALL THE CARDS, HUH?
WELL, NO IF ONE OF YOUR BOYS HERE IS
WILLING TO TESTIFY AGAINST YOU.
NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU THINK?
YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD
A WEAK LINK, DID YA?
YEAH, I DIDN'T THINK SO.
TAKE A LOOK RIGHT THERE...
YOU SEE THAT?
YOU SEE, ONE OF YOUR BOYS DIDN' SHOOT TO KILL, AND NOW YOU'VE
GOT A FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE.
HERE'S MY OFFER TO YOU...
ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED
AND YOUR INFORMANT.
AND YOU GET TO GE THAT WIFE BACK.
OR IS IT EX-WIFE?
YOU THINK IT OUT.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN
SECOND CHANCES?
NO, I DO NOT.
WELL, NEITHER
DID I FOR THE LONGEST TIME.
AT LEAST NOT FOR MYSELF...
NOT UNTIL I REALIZED HOW
BADLY I NEEDED ONE.
SEE GATES, I'VE BEEN AIMING
HIGH MY WHOLE LIFE.
