AND...
AFTER AND... BEFORE AND DURING.
EVERYTHING I DID, EVERY DIME I SPENT,
EVERY THREAT I MADE, I WAS JUST
LEADING TIM FURTHER ALONG THE ROAD...
TO MEET THAT BULLET.
- IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S JUST
WHAT YOU WERE DOING, PA. - WHAT?
LEADING TIM ALONG.
LISTEN, KID. WE FIND THE KILLERS OF YOUR
BROTHER AND YOU'LL BE A HERO LIKE HE WAS.
A FUCKING LEGEND.
- I DON'T WANNA BE A LEGEND. - WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU WANNA BE, A GODDAMNED PIANO PLAYER?
MAYBE, BUT I'M NOT VERY GOOD.
- YOU STINK. YOU'RE LOUSY. - I KNOW THAT.
YOU KNOW THAT? YOU AIN'T A PIANO
PLAYER, YOU AIN'T AN ARTIST.
YOU GOT NO BUSINESS SENSE,
NO POLITICAL SENSE.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ANYWAY?
WHERE ARE YOUR VALUES IN LIFE?
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU GET LAID?
- I ASK YOU, DO YOU GET LAID? - YEAH.
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES YOUR
BROTHER GOT LAID IN OFFICE?
- WHAT ARE YOU, THE NATIONAL
INQUIRER? - ONE THOUSAND SEVENTY-TWO.
AND WITH A SCHEDULE LIKE HIS.
MAYBE POLITICS DON'T TURN ME ON.
YOUR BROTHER WAS A GIANT.
YOU'LL BE THE SAME. YOU WATCH.
NOW, I SET UP A MEETING
WITH YOU AND Z.K. DAWSON.
HE'LL LIE OF COURSE. BUT YOU'LL
GET SOMETHING FROM THE MEETING.
- NO, PA. - WHAT?
I SAID NO.
WHAT NO? HERE'S A MAP ON HOW TO GET THERE.
HE'S SOUTH OF TULSA. IT'S
ALL ARRANGED. TAKE IT.
TAKE IT!
- OKAY, PA. FOR THE FAMILY.
- YOU BET YOUR ASS.
GOOD LUCK, BOY. I'LL BE WITH YA.
I KNOW YOU WILL, PA!
HELLO. GOOD AFTERNOON. CAN I HELP YOU?
YES, I'M HERE TO SEE MR.
DAWSON. YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
NICHOLAS KEGAN.
YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD. Z.K.'S ON THE PLAYING
FIELD. TAKE THE TURN TO YOUR RIGHT...
BEFORE YOU REACH THE HOUSE AND
THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND HIM.
THANK YOU.
YEAH, I'M Z.K. DAWSON. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
I'M NICHOLAS KEGAN!
GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
I SAID, GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
UH, SPEAK UP.
I'M, UH, NICK KEGAN. TOM KEGAN'S SON.
I KNOW THAT. BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
ON MY PLAYING FIELD, MESSING UP OUR GAMES?
OH, THE GUARD SAID, WELL-
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE GUARD TOLD YOU,
I WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE.
WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT, MR. DAWSON.
I'M AWARE OF THAT FACT.
NOW YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME.
- WELL, LOOK HERE, UH- - WATCH YOUR TONE.
- MR. DAWSON- - THAT'S BETTER.
MR. DAWSON, WE'VE DISCOVERED A RIFLE.
WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE
IT'S THE WEAPON THAT KILLED MY
BROTHER IN PHILADELPHIA.
YOUR BROTHER WAS A MISERABLE,
COLD-ASSED, ARROGANT SON OF A BITCH.
AND NOT A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE,
AS I GUESS IS WELL KNOWN TO YOU.
YES, I'M AWARE OF THAT.
BUT THE ASSASSIN WAS HIRED
BY A MAN NAMED CASPER JR.
AND AS YOU KNOW EVERYONE OF
IMPORTANCE IN THE AREA, WE THOUGHT-
WHAT I OUGHT TO DO IS RUN RIGHT OVER
YOU, FLATTEN YOU LIKE A WAFFLE.
SIR? I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.
YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU THINK I HAD SOME
PART OF A CONSPIRACY KILLED YOUR BROTHER.
YOU AND ALL THE OTHER CONSPIRACY LOVERS
IN THIS CONSPIRACY-LOVING COUNTRY.
ACTUALLY, MR. DAWSON-
WHY SHOULD I KILL YOUR BROTHER
WHEN I'M GETTING RICH OFF HIM?
OFF HIS MILITARY SPENDIN',
HIS SPACE SPENDIN'.
HIS TAX REDUCTION A-AND
H-HIS CRISIS SPENDIN'.
HELL, YOU KNOW IF YOUR OLD MAN DIDN'T OWN
HIM ALREADY, I MIGHT HAVE BOUGHT HIM MYSELF.
EXCEPT FOR HIS SNOTTY PERSONALITY.
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO LISTEN
TO SLANDER, MR. DAWSON.
SLANDER?
YOU THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, YOUNG MAN.
HELL, THEY DIDN'T TEACH YOU
KIDS NOTHING SINCE 1944.
HEY, I DIDN'T KILL YOUR BROTHER.
THAT'S A VILE, CRUEL, MYTHOLOGICAL INVENTION.
BUT IT IS ALSO A- AN INFECTIOUS INVENTION.
AND WHEN IT REACHED THE EARS OF MY
DAUGHTER, I THOUGHT, MAYBE I'LL MAKE...
A COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS AND
REALLY FIND OUT WHO DID THE DEED.
WHO MIGHT THAT BE?
THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE KILLED YOUR BROTHER.
THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THE
OPERATION WAS A CAPTAIN HELLER.
SO IF I WAS YOU, I'D JUST GO
AND HAVE A TALK WITH THAT MAN.
- UH, HE'S DEAD. - WELL, THEN I'D
TRACK DOWN A SIDEKICK OF HIS.
A MAN NAMED RAY DOTY.
THANK YOU. YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.
NOW, I'M GONNA TELL YOU ONE MORE THING.
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A
