THE CLUB,
AND A MAID AT THE HOUSE
SAYS SHE'S ILL.
OH, THAT'S CRAP.
LOOK, YOU GO OUT.
YOU HIRE THEM.
YOU GO TO THE CLUB, AND YOU
TALK TO EMMETT OR THE BOOKKEEPER.
THEY'LL GIVE YOU THE MONEY
TO PAY FOR THEM.
I'LL DO WHAT I CAN.
WHAT WE'VE GOT RIGHT
NOW, WE'VE GOT NO CHANCE.
BELIEVE ME, RON...
NO CHANCE AT ALL.
PRIVATE DETECTIVES!
WE HAVE TO HIRE A COUPLE
OF PRIVATE DETECTIVES.
SO YOU HIRE A COUPLE
OF PRIVATE DETECTIVES.
TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO.
I'LL GIVE YOU
A COUPLE OF NAMES.
HA HA HA!
HEY...
HEY.
HEY, WHY DIDN'T YOU HIRE
PRIVATE DETECTIVES?
I TRIED.
I JUST COULDN'T
FIND ANYBODY.
YOU WANT TO RUN THAT
BY ME AGAIN?
HMM?
HEY. WHAT'S THE MATTER?
NOTHING.
I'M JUST DISCOURAGED, THAT'S ALL,
AND I'M
FRIGHTENED, RON.
HEY.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
PLEASE...
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?
COME ON.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I DID ALL I COULD.
YOU'LL HAVE TO
BELIEVE ME, RON.
I DID ALL I COULD.
SUSAN.
FEELING BETTER?
PRIVATE DETECTIVES
TURNED UP NOTHING...
NOT A SHRED
OF EVIDENCE
TO SUBSTANTIATE
YOUR STORY.
RON, WE HAVE TO DECIDE
TODAY HOW WE PLEAD.
SUSAN?
SUSAN!
THIS ISN'T
AN ORDINARY CRIME, RON.
YOU KILLED
A POLICE OFFICER.
SHERIFF MORELLO IS PRESSING FOR A
QUICK TRIAL AND FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.
NOW, IN VIEW OF YOUR
WAR RECORD, I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I MIGHT BE ABLE
TO ACCEPT A LESSER PLEA
AND GET YOU OFF
WITH A 2-TO-10.
IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE?
I'M NOT GOING TO PLEAD GUILTY
TO SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO.
THEY WANT YOU
TO FIGHT THEM.
GO AHEAD.
EGG THEM ON.
THEY'LL NAIL YOU TO THE
CROSS... LIFE WITHOUT CLEMENCY.
MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE.
LOOK, I'LL FIGHT THEM
TO THE LAST DITCH.
I'M INNOCENT.
I'M NOT A COP-OUT.
GO FIND THE EVIDENCE.
YEAH.
YOU GO AHEAD.
YOU FIGHT THEM.
I CAN'T DO YOU
ANY GOOD, LEWIS.
I'D LIKE TO WITHDRAW
FROM THE CASE.
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, BE...
LET ME TALK TO YOU,
AT LEAST?
I'VE BEEN
IN ENOUGH POKER GAMES
TO KNOW WHEN I'M
UP AGAINST A COLD DECK.
TALK TO YOUR PROSECUTOR.
SEE WHAT KIND OF DEAL
YOU CAN COME UP WITH.
DAMN IT! WHY ME?
NEY, GODDAMN IT, WHY ME?
TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF
AND THROW THEM OVER HERE.
NOW, WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE...
ANOTHER VICTIM OF SOCIETY?
KILLED A DEPUTY SHERIFF.
UH-OH.
THAT'S A NO-NO.
171/2.
33. 36.
VINCE.
YEAH, WHAT?
GIVE HIM ANYTHING.
THIS BASTARD MIGHT NOT LIVE
LONG ENOUGH TO BREAK THEM IN.
YOU CAN'T BURY A MAN WITHOUT SHOES.
OK. YOUR 3 MINUTES ARE UP.
I GOT SOME BUSTED RIBS.
DO YOU MIND?
WE LIVE BY THE RULES
AROUND HERE.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT...
HEY! WHAT'S WRONG?
WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE?
OK. IT'S OK.
I JUST SLIPPED
ON THE WET FLOOR.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
TO THE MOP?
HALF OF IT'S
DOWN HERE.
I TRIPPED ON IT.
IT BUSTED WHEN
I FELL. THAT'S ALL.
I'M A LITTLE WET
BUT OK.
OK. GET IN.
YOU HAD YOUR FUN,
LEWIS.
EVERYTHING YOU DO
HERE HAS A PRICE!
GET ME THE SQUAD UP HERE
WITH MASKS. QUICK!
HURRY IT UP!
ALL RIGHT,
YOU BIG BASTARD.
YOU EITHER COME OUT OF THAT
CELL AND WALK TO ISOLATION,
OR WE'LL COME IN
AND CARRY YOU OUT.
I DON'T
GIVE A DAMN WHICH.
ALL RIGHT!
I'LL WALK!
COME ON OUT OF THAT CELL.
COME ON OUT,
BOY.
YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT HARD ON YOURSELF.
THEY GOT HIS DOOR LOCKED!
THEY'RE GASSING HIM!
THEY'RE GASSING HIM
WITH HIS DOOR LOCKED!
SHUT YOUR
GODDAMN MOUTH!
KEEP YOUR GODDAMN
MOUTH SHUT!
ALL RIGHT. WE GAVE YOU A
CHANCE. NOW WE'RE COMING IN.
HEY, RITZ, EH?
WELL, AIN'T YOU
SOMETHING?
LIKE IT?
WANT ME TO ORDER YOU
A HALF A DOZEN?
I'LL STICK
WITH MY NUMBER.
STILL WITH
NUMEROLOGY, HUH?
THIS IS IT.
OH, LEWIS.
YOU KNOW, NORMALLY
THEY'D HAVE JUST THROWN
YOU RIGHT INTO ISOLATION
FOR THE NEXT
6 MONTHS,
BUT YOU GOT YOURSELF
A POWERFUL FRIEND
RIGHT HERE
IN THE POPULATION.
WHO?
SAL VICCARRONE,
NO LESS.
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?
HA HA HA HA!
PENANCE.
I'LL TAKE YOUR HAND.
GO GET LEWIS.
MAN WANTS TO TALK
TO YOU... PERSONALLY.
LISTEN, BUSTER BROWN,
YOU OWE HIM.
HE'S THE ONE THAT KEPT YOU
OUT OF
