We interrupt this
broadcast to bring you

the latest report on Daphne Wood.

She escaped from the state
hospital in Camarillo

three days ago, and was last seen
in the hills of Silverado.

A resident reported seeing a
strange-looking woman

fitting the description of Ms.
Wood

eating out of garbage cans.

Ms. Wood is considered insane, but
supposedly harmless.

For those who remember,
five years ago,

she was committed to Camarillo

for brutally beating to death
the four-year-old son

of Charlie Johnson, owner of
Seacoast Delivery Express.

Again, the woman is not considered

dangerous or violent, but
please exercise caution.

The area has been searched
without results,

but the hospital would
appreciate any information

regarding her where.

Charlie, isn't that the
black that worked

for you about five years ago?

Yeah.

Hey, man, let's not talk
about that now, huh?

Hey, finally got you to go huntin'
with me, man.

Let's relax, have a good time.

Brucie, quit messing with
that paperwork.

Hell, man, you make
10 grand a year

just insuring my rates alone, eh?

Relax, have a good time.

If I had the lettuce you do,
Charlie, maybe I could relax.

Hey, what did you rake
in last year?

Two hundred thou?

Hey, naw, man, it was more
like a million bucks.

And I did it all on my own, huh?

No hand-me-downs.

Just this goes to prove that

Jews ain't the only ones
can make money.

Hell, I didn't even finish
high school, man.

Hey, yeah, talking
about high school.

Hey coach, what kind of
football team

we gonna have this year, huh?

I don't know.

We're busing in a couple
of black kids.

All right.
They could help us out.

Damn niggers are
taking over sports.

Charlie, do you have to
use that word?

I thought you hired a
couple of black drivers

a month or so ago, Charlie.

Yeah, well, if I wanted
to get them damn

government contracts, I had
to hire some of

them colored folks, huh!

Hey, Brucie, gimme another
beer up here, huh?

We're all out of beer, Charlie.

Hey, Bobo,
thought I told you to

fill up that fridge when we left,
huh?

Here's a store.

We can get it here.

Oh, lookie there, huh?

Get in there and get us
a case of beer.

- Okay.
- There you go.

Right away.

Hey, Steve.

You see if that cute little
trick over there

wants a ride, huh?

You and your damn women.

Hey, kid.

Kid.

What?

We're heading for Arizona by
way of San Diego.

That help you any?

San Diego would do me just fine.

Get in the car.

Open the damn door, Brucie.

She's young.

That's trouble, man.

You wanna keep
selling me insurance,

you open that damn door now, huh?

Stop pickin' on him, Charlie.

Come on in, honey.

Hey, man.

Thought you said we were
going to San Diego.

What are we turning off here for?

Hey, I, uh, I gotta
get some extra gears,

just a couple of miles up
the road, huh?

Oh, shit!

Charlie, we got all
the gear we need.

What the hell are you up to now?

Hey, Steve, we got
ourselves a cute,

little side attraction, huh?

That beats hunting any day.

Are you nuts?

Hey, you, where's that
damn cabin you said

was only a few miles up the road?

Hey, don't worry,
honey.

We almost there.

And that cabin is a hunting
lodge in Silverado

that I bought to entertain
my trucking friend.

Yeah, well, wherever
the damn cabin is,

I need to get
to San Diego.

Just lost my channel.

She's drinking beer and she
looks under 18 to me.

Ah, Brucie, relax, man.

Here.

Chase this tequila with some
of that beer, huh?

It'll set you free.

Charlie, have all the
fantasies you want,

but hands off that kid, I mean it.

Hey, we all got bad
manners here, huh?

It's not nice to keep the lady
of honor waiting.

Give it to her, Brucie.

There you go, sugar.

That won't put any weight on you,
huh?

- Hey, Bobo.
- Yeah?

Pass some lime
out of the fridge.

Okay, boss.

That is the way you hippies
like it, isn't it?

Here's three.

Go ahead, honey.

It'll put some hair on your chest.

Hair on your chest.

No, no, no, chicita.

First, the tequila, and
then the lime.

I know.

You do it your way, and
I'll do it mine.

You see, Brucie?

This little chick wants to have
fun just like we do, huh?

Come on.

Run this deal for a while, huh?

I need to talk to
this little lady.

There you go, sugar.

Well, go ahead.

It ain't gonna bite ya.

How old are you, Cindy?

17.

Hell, she's lying.

She's 20 if she's a day,
look at her.

She is not lying, Charlie.

We've gotta let up on
this drinking.

Hey, look, Steve, she's
not the sweet 16

and never been kissed type, huh?

With a body like she's got,

I bet she's slept with plenty of
fellas, ain't you, honey?

Well, I bet you even slept
with a nigger, huh?

You ever sleep with one of them
colored boys, hon?

They're human just like
you are, you creep.

Hey, wait a minute.

I'm putting my jacket on.

How long have you known
that bastard?

That bastard happens to be
my half brother.

You know, he's not so bad when

you get a chance to know him,
I think.

He may have a Boy Scout
merit medal of honor,

but I'm still scared of him.

Steve, will you keep that animal
away from me, please?

Don't worry, half pint.

I think I can handle him.

Hey, I was wondering what
happened to you two.

What you trying to do, old buddy,

keep this all to yourself?

Charlie, what in the
hell's goin' on here?

Hey, I think I found somethin'
you gonna like, huh?

Hey, boy, gimme that thing there,
huh?

I know it's great stuff, but let's
give Cindy a little here.

Here you go, sugar.

Some great pot I had up here I
forgot all about.

That oughta thaw you out a
little bit, huh?

Charlie, let's get
whatever you came for

and get the hell out of here.

Hey, we got lots of time,
fellas,

lots of time, huh?

Dammit, Charlie, I am serious.

Okay, boss.

- Come on.
- Okay.

Just kidding, huh, just kidding.

Hey, Bo, get us another beer
and change his booze.

Then we'll get the hell
out of here, huh?

Did you hear what I said?

Hey.

Cindy, you better stop smoking.

Charlie.

Eh.

Come here.

Listen, I know what's
on your mind,

but this kid is not interested.

Hey, relax.

Honest broads like it better than
we do, huh?

Hey, boss, here's your Cerveza.

Hey, cowboy.

Hey, honey.

Where's the bathroom?

It's right up them stairs, eh?

Hey, no, no.

That's all yours, all yours, eh?

Charlie.

Charlie.

It's late.

Come on, come on.

It's late.

Come on.

Come on, it's getting late.

Hey, Cindy.

You're one mucho sex!

Whoa!

Anything would look sexy to you,
Bozo.

Nice to see you being a
little more friendly.

You creep!

Hey, come on, huh?

Creep?

You know, you're cute.

But you gotta to know we're not
here to play Monopoly.

You sicko!

I wouldn't let you touch me
with a 10 foot pole.

Okay, Charlie, we are
going right now.

I'm gonna level with
you right now.

We ain't going nowhere till
this bitch puts out.

Puts out?

You lay one hand on me, dude,

and I'll see you spend the rest of
your life in a cage!

- What, you bitch!
- Oh!

Charlie, settle down!

Quit it, settle down!

Take out you're gonna ruin

I'm trying to work out
something for you.

Okay?

Hey, old Stevie boy had better

break her in for us fast, huh?

Because I am not a man
to kept waitin'.

Shit.

Hey, boss.

Do you want me to go get us
some more beer?

Nah.

Get us more tequila, huh?

Yeah, some more tequila.

You're not really serious
about that girl?

Oh, hell yes, Brucie.

Maybe we'll just club
sandwich her.

Not when it's by force.

That's rape.

And about the time that he
was gonna hit you,

I, I decided I'd better do
something fast.

Get the hell out of my
sight before I

cancel all my insurance.

All right, all right, but
just tell me where.

Up the stairs, dammit!

Pick one out.

I got plenty of them.

Do anything in a small way.

Hey, boss.

Do you want me to stay or do
you want me to go?

Hey, Bobo, you're with me, huh,
baby?

As soon as old Stevie boy
gets done in there,

we're gonna have our little
piece of the pie.

I'm with you, boss,
whatever you say.

I gotta go check
Charlie and see what's

happening down there, okay?

Okay.

Charlie's passed out in
the living room.

He won't wake up till morning.

Well, we've got to wake him up.

We could, but after what
happened down there,

I think it'd a lot safer if
we just let him

take the rest of the night
to sleep it off.

Well, it blows
the hell out of me

getting San Diego tonight.

Yeah, I know, Cindy.

You have to admit that you were

partially responsible for what
happened down there.

I'll go now.

You can get some sleep.

Steve, I wouldn't trust
him if he were dead.

I just told you that
it's gonna take

the rest of the night for
him to sleep it off.

Won't you stay a little
while longer, please?

At least until we
finish this dope.

Fine, okay then.

Stay for a little while.

Okay.

I can take that.

You know, for 17,

you seem a lot older.

I'm only a few days
away from 18.

Besides, I was on my own
when I was 12.

And when that happens,
you grow up fast.

What's the matter?

Does our age
difference bother you?

You know what you're doing,
don't you?

Yeah.

Oh, Steve.

Maybe it's this dope, but I really
do feel warm and secure.

Well, you do feel
good next to me.

Hey.

Hey, Bobo.

All right, wake up, dude.

Bo!

Come on, it's our turn, eh.

Let's go.

Hey there, honey.

Ain't nobody gonna hurt you now.

We just gonna put the
finishing touches

on what Steve already started.

Don't touch me, you pervert!

Where's Steve?

All right, Bobo, come on, man.

I've been waiting for
you all night.

Just a second, all right?

Damm it, Bobo!

All right, all right,
just hang on!

I can't do it, boss.

I just can't do it.

I always knew you spics
couldn't cut it.

It's my turn now, Cindy baby.

Give it to me, honey.

Spread your legs, damn it!

Good, baby, oh!

Hey, Charlie, man,
that's enough.

That's enough!

No.

Hey, man, I said that's enough!

All right already, okay?

Not till I'm finished now!

Bitch!

Hey, boss, man, no!

You filthy bastard.

You bigoted, perverted,
filthy bastard!

I'll get you, you pig!

I ain't too crazy about
you either, slut.

Hey, pile it high, huh, Bobo?

I need plenty of refueling
after last night.

Charlie, what the hell is this?

Looks like a pillow, my man.

Yeah, with blood on it.

Where's Cindy?

Hell, I don't know, Steve.

You're the one that serviced
her last night, huh?

Maybe she's still in the bathroom.

I checked there.

What do you know about this, Bobo?

I, I, I don't know, Steve.

Why, the last time I saw her,

she went with you
into the bedroom.

Hey, my man.

How did it go in there last night,
anyhow, huh?

Charlie, last night, you were
ready to rape that girl.

Now, this morning, she's gone.

Charlie, you guys...

I told you we don't
know where she is.

What the hell you so worried

about that little slut for anyhow?

I'm worried that three
grown men might have

done something stupid.

Hey, don't include me, Steve.

I went to bed.

Don't include you in what,
Bruce?

You shut up, Bruce.

Nothing, Steve.

Nothing, hell!

If you raped that
girl last night...

Steve, I didn't touch her.

Charlie told me that he
and Bobo were

gonna club sandwich her after you
got through with her,

and if I didn't want her I
should go to bed and...

Dammit, Charlie!

I wanna know why there's
blood on that pillow

and where the hell that kid is!

Now, look, you stubborn Polack,

you got your rocks off last night,
didn't ya?

You think you're the only one
that wants to roll

in the sack with that
hot young stuff?

Jesus, Charlie, yesterday, we
picked up an innocent girl.

Innocent hell!

That girl's been around,
and you know it.

Let me tell you one thing,
Stevie boy,

that little whore serviced me

and Bobo and the crack of
dawn this mornin'.

And she loved every minute
she had me and Bobo.

No, no, no, no, not in
a million years.

That kid was scared of you.

She'd never let you touch her.

Okay, baby.

Okay.

Now, I'm gonna give it to you just
exactly like it was.

Now, I didn't want to do this,

'cause you are not gonna like it.

But she come out of that
bedroom last night

just mad as hell, yellin'
and screamin',

lookin' for you, sayin' how you
had run out on her.

Why hell, she woke me and Bobo up
out of a sound sleep, man.

And we are only human.

What with her running around here
stark naked and all.

Besides, she was so mad at
you last night,

she'd have taken on a battalion.

And then while we were doing it,

she starts cussing, calling
you names again,

saying how men had always run out

on her after they'd got
what they wanted.

Why, man, she got hysterical
'cause you ran out on her!

And I had to wallop her
just to shut her up.

And that, my man, is where the
blood got on the pillow.

After that, she just
got her things

and got the hell out of here.

You mean to tell me that
all this happened

because I went to sleep in
another bedroom?

Now, you just ask Bobo, huh?

You tell him, Bobo.

Ain't that the way it happened?

Yeah.

You know, if you're lying to me,
Charlie...

Steve, I ain't got no
cause to lie to you.

We're blood kin, man.

The little tramp.

Don't let her come between us.

Look, man, you don't know nothin'
about her,

except she was easy enough
for you to sleep

with the first day you met her.

That ain't nothing she
hadn't done plenty of

other times with them hippie
friends of hers.

Now, she is probably in San Diego

and we are supposed to be in Yuma.

Hey, forget her.

It's like I always said.

A broad's place in this world
is on her back, huh?

Let's have some breakfast and
hit the road, then.

Now, let me, let me get
this straight.

You're in the bedroom.

You're on the bed.

You're smoking marijuana and
nothing happened.

Now, Cindy, I don't buy that and a
jury's not gonna buy it.

But Steve
didn't rape me.

But he did have
intercourse with you, right?

Right?

Yes.

He committed a crime.

And we're going to include
him in the report.

Do we have to do that?

I practically begged him to
make love to me.

I was afraid that if
left me alone,

Mr. Johnson would come back
in and rape me.

Johnson did come in
and rape you.

Where was this Steve Merrick then?

I don't know.

I guess he left when
I fell asleep.

Cindy,

what makes you think
that Steve Merrick

didn't set you up for
Charlie Johnson?

I never thought of it that way.

But Steve still didn't rape me.

Come over and sit down.

Cindy,

if you admit to being a
willing participant

with one of these men,

it's gonna be easy for Charlie
Johnson's attorney

to convince a jury that you were
a consenting adult

with Charlie Johnson.

I wouldn't consent to holding
hands with that creep!

I want him crucified for
what he did to me!

Okay.

Then we go after all four of them,

including Steve Merrick.

They'll have no choice but
to draw up charges

against Charlie Johnson.

Thanks.

Oh, sure, cops any time.

Don't tell me the DA wants to

do an old number on me again?

This guy's a real comedian.

You're in a lot more trouble
than you think, pal.

Johnson, we got a warrant
for your arrest.

What?

I said, we have a rape warrant,

listing Cynthia Langley
as the victim

and you as the suspect.

See that!

We also have one for one
of your employees.

A Roberto Marino.

Does he work with you on this lot?

Hey, what part didn't
you understand?

Does he work here?

Yeah, he works here, all right?

Good, then answer me, then.

All right, I'll, uh,

I'll get Roberto in here and we'll
follow you guys down.

Oh, you'll follow us from
the back of our unit.

Let's go, you.

Get Marino in here and you're both
comin' with us right now.

Rita.

Get Bobo in here.

I'm calling my lawyer.

At the station.

I'm allowed one phone call!

One phone call when we get your
white ass to the station!

Come on, man!

Hey, Bobo!

Yeah, what is it, sweetheart?

Charlie wants you.

Yeah, just a second.

No, now!

Oh, all right.

Just a damn minute here.

You're that crazy broad's brother.

Rita, you get Jake
Moore on the phone

and you tell him to meet me
over at the jail.

I'm getting busted in here!

I'm gonna put the cuffs on that
redneck bastard myself!

I'd bust his ass right now
if it wouldn't mean

trouble for the DA in court!

You wanna see me, boss?

Roberto Marino,
you're under arrest.

Charge him.

Hey, boss, now what is this,
huh?

Just keep your
mouth shut, Bobo.

I'm gonna handle this, all right?

But god, Charlie, man, you
told me to do it.

What about Maria and the kids,
huh?

Relax.

You have the right to
remain silent.

If you give up that right,
anything you say

can and will be used against you
in a court of law.

You have the right the
presence of an attorney.

If you desire an attorney and
cannot afford one,

one will be appointed for
you in questioning.

Now, do you understand the
rights I've explained?

You don't have to understand
nothing, speed lover,

'cause ain't nothing gonna happen,
do you understand that?

Pig!

Rita, did you get a hold of Jake,
yet?

Yeah, he's on his way over to
the jail right now.

Charlie, what's going on?

I'm goin' to a picnic.

What the hell you think's goin'
on, huh?

You told me what you
did to that girl

would never come out in
the newspapers!

What have you done to me?

But Charlie promised me
that his friend

would keep it out of the paper.

Well, read it, you horny worm.

Your name is smeared all
over the front page.

Seacoast Delivery,
can I help you?

One moment, please.

Seacoast Delivery, just a moment,
please.

Seacoast Delivery, hold please.

Just a moment.

Seacoast Delivery.

Hold please.

Can I help you?

Answer the damn phones, Rita!

Dammit, Charlie, I'm trying!

You've become a very popular man.

Well, that kind of popularity
I don't need, huh?

Now, you just tell them
what I told you.

I ain't here!

Steve's on line two.

You wanna talk to him?

Yeah, you seen this
morning's paper?

What the hell do you
think I'm lookin' at?

I thought you had a
friend that was gonna

keep this out of the papers.

Look, there would be
nothing to take care of

if you hadn't raped that girl.

Hell, I'm telling you
I didn't rape her, hoss.

You didn't rape her, she
burns you too.

Now, that should tell
you what kind of

cheap whore we're dealing with.

Listen, after the hearing
tomorrow morning,

maybe you should just take a
little vacation.

Go on up to the lodge and start
working on that novel

you always wanted to write.

The hell are you talking about?

I got a job, remember?

Take a month's
leave of absence.

Give this thing a chance to
cool down, huh?

Go on up to the lodge.

You always were a loner, anyway.

I'm not sure I ever wanna
see that place again.

Don't give me that,
my man.

I know how much you
love that lodge.

I'll be real busy here tomorrow

with this hearing and all.

But you just get your
butt over here.

Tomorrow night, I'm gonna have
that four wheeler

all gassed up and ready to go.

I don't know.

No.

No, I'm not running away from
something I didn't do.

Look, I'll see you tomorrow
morning at the hearing, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Jean, bring me the file

on the Lambert shopping mall.

Mr. Lambert is due here
within a few minutes.

Mr. Lambert canceled
his appointment

just before you got here.

But he said it was urgent to

get this coverage immediately.

Well, if you'd read the
newspapers, you'd know why.

I've read the newspaper, Jean.

Please go back to your desk.

Back to my desk, well, what for?

How do you intend to pay
me from prison?

Prison?

But damn it, I'm not guilty.

Well, then why do they say

that you are in the newspaper?

The newspaper says
I've been accused.

That doesn't mean I'm guilty.

Well, try telling that to Mr.
Lambert!

Morning, Jake.

Hello, Charlie.

You want some coffee?

No.

Any scotch around here?

That is the last thing
you need right now.

From what you've told me about all

of you taking turns with her,

here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna try and get your
charges reduced

to illegal intercourse,

which means she was a
consenting minor.

The hell you mean,
consenting minor?

We're pleading not guilty to
this thing, aren't we?

Charlie, my contact in
the DA's office

tells me John Stark has too much
circumstantial evidence,

which puts her in that lodge
most of the night.

Now, the way I see it,
you'll have no choice

but to admit she was there.

I can assure you, no jury is
gonna believe you

were playing Tiddly Winks
most of that night.

You're gonna have to admit
to some kind of

sexual contact with her.

Oh, Jesus, Jake!

I can't let that little bitch
put me behind bars!

That's just my point, Charlie.

If you plead guilty to a charge of
illegal intercourse,

it should bring you
suspended sentences,

as opposed to five to 10
for forcible rape.

No, I don't know.

I shouldn't have any
problem making a deal

with the DA's office to
the lesser charge.

Look.

If you all stick together,

it's just her word against
all four of you.

Okay, Jake.

Whatever you say, huh?

Listen, I'm picking up the
tab for all of us

on this thing, so nobody
blinks an eye unless

I okay it in triplicate, huh?

Whatever.

Look, I want you to represent
all of us on this thing.

Well, that isn't customary,

but if I'm gonna
represent all of you,

I should see the others before the
hearing tomorrow morning.

I'm gonna Stark this afternoon.

It's gonna be difficult
to work them in.

Hey, well, seeing
that primping DA's

more important, isn't it?

Why can't I just fill you
in on everything

you need for that
hearing tomorrow?

Charlie, are you
leveling with me?

Did that girl really jump in the
sack with all of you?

Hey, relax, hoss.

It was, uh, like freebie day in
the ice cream parlor, huh?

Just remember, it's your neck in
the noose, not mine.

Okay, where'd you pick her up at?

Well, there was this liquor
store up on Dennison Avenue.

I don't believe you.

You mean to tell me you're willing
to ruin four men's lives?

Their families humiliated,

their professions destroyed just

to get back at Charlie Johnson?

Look, I am thoroughly
convinced that

Charlie Johnson did
forcibly rape her.

But you're charging all of them
with forcible rape!

I'm seeing a side of
you I don't like.

Look, Stark!

I have four respected citizens
who claim she's lying.

All you've got is her word.

You haven't got a chance, Moore,
and you know it.

She gave us the license number
of the motor home,

plus an accurate
description of the route

taken to the lodge and
of the interior.

We also have, uh, witnesses
who saw the girl

soon after the assault.

The alleged assault.

That's all circumstantial.

She didn't even go for a medical
exam within 48 hours.

She was in a state of shock.

You know damn well the police
report covered that.

And you damn well know that

forcible rape is hard to prove

if the girl doesn't have
physical evidence

or a witness at the scene to
back up her story.

Last chance, Stark.

My clients are willing to admit
illegal intercourse

if you make a deal for suspended...

As I said before, no deal.

They're goin' on trial as charged.

Okay, hot shot.

It's your career on the line,
not mine.

But I'll make you look
so bad in court

they'll have you sweeping
these halls instead of

occupying the governor's office
after the next election.

And you can count on it!

Screw the lawyer!

I had a million dollar
insurance on policy

a shopping mall canceled.

My business and reputation
are gonna be ruined

and there's nothin' that you

or your lawyer can do about it!

That one sweet
little bitch whore

is gonna be sorry she ever messed
with Charlie Johnson.

I came here to talk to you,

but I can see you're in no
condition to discuss anything.

Just leave me alone!

That's just what I intend to do!

I've been talking to Hilda, and
I'm filing for divorce.

I'm gonna take what's mine before
you give it to some

high price attorney to keep
you out of prison.

But Charlie's paying all the
lawyer's fees, everything.

Loretta, you're all I have left.

If you divorce me, I'll...

Get your hands off me.

That's right, cry, you
little weasel.

It's too bad you didn't
finish the job

when you tried to kill
yourself two years ago.

My god.

You're not really serious,
are you?

You're damn right I'm serious!

It would save me a lot of trouble!

Go on back to your booze.

The next time you talk to me,

it will be through my attorney.

Merrick.

Steve.

No one answered the front door,

so I came round the side.

What are you doing here so
early in the morning?

It was necessary for
me to see you.

Well, make it quick.

I gotta be at the courthouse
in about an hour.

Oh, darn it, Steve, why
did you do it?

How the heck did you
get in this mess?

Oh, look, Mel, spare me
your sanctimonious

theatrics and just tell me what
the hell you want.

I, I hate like heck to be the
one to have tell you this.

But the school board held a
special meeting

and they decided that
you be suspended.

Suspended indefinitely without

pay until this terrible
thing is cleared up.

Now provided...

They decided I'm guilty before
the verdict is even in?

I'm late because I was out
looking for another job.

I'm going to need one.

Didn't you hear me?

Charlie, you'd better
get to Bruce fast.

Why?

Charges have been dropped
against Bruce Fowler.

The hearing won't be
until next week.

The hell are you talking about?

It's simple.

Stark has dropped charges
against Fowler

because he intends to use him as
a state's witness.

Aside from that bastard
wanting to be governor,

why is he out to railroad you
into San Quentin?

Hey, don't you remember?

We made a fool out of him a
couple years ago

when he lost that fraud
case against me.

Oh, yeah.

You laughed in his face right in
front of the judge.

You think that little
wimp would actually

try to make a deal with the DA?

Knowing Bruce,

no, he'll testify to anything

Stark wants and Stark knows it.

We'll see about that, huh?

Now, you tell Bobo there's no
hearing this morning.

I'll phone Steve, okay?

Yeah, fine.

You know, Charlie,

I think Bruce Fowler
blinked an eye without

getting an okay from you,
in triplicate.

If you had had half the chance,

you'd have fallen all over
yourself to get it on with her.

She was still 17.

And you did not conform to the
laws of our society.

That 17-year-old girl was one
week from bein' 18.

She looked and acted 25.

She wanted me to make love to her.

So you can take your society
crap and stick it!

Okay, coach.

Now, we have Christmas
vacation coming up.

By the first of the year,

maybe these lawyers will have you
out of this terrible mess.

You said some pretty harsh things
to me this morning.

But I want you to know that,

well, for one, I'm in there
pulling for you.

Just hang in there, old buddy.

Your kind of pulling, I
don't need, old buddy.

Now, you have done your good deed.

And get your ass out of here.

Okay, okay, fine.

If that's the way you want it.

You have everything
coming you deserve!

That son of a bitch Brucie blew
himself away last night.

What?

Well, there goes the
DA's star witness.

Yeah, well, how's our
chances look now, huh?

Still gonna be nip and tuck,
Charlie.

Let me give you a word of advice.

You'd better make damn
sure Steve and Bobo

stay on the right side
of this thing.

Hey, Steve's my brother.

And I got Bobo in my hip pocket,
huh?

Well, you'd better be right,

because if you don't Have
their support,

you might as well get used
to a new address.

Yeah, Jake.

I see what you mean.

Daddy,

I just found out this afternoon

the insurance man killed himself.

Honey, I, I don't
know about that.

But I do know you have to eat.

Eat?

I don't believe you, Daddy.

Didn't you hear me?

Bruce Fowler killed himself!

Don't you understand?

A man is dead!

It was my fault!

The hell have you been?

I've been trying to
reach you all day.

I took a drive up the coast.

I had some thinking to do.

Yeah, what about?

Well, for openers,

I got a suspension
notice this morning

from the school board.

Hey, forget that damn school,
huh?

You never made any
money there anyhow.

And where you ought to be is up

at my lodge doing some writing,
huh?

Guess you heard about Bruce.

Yeah, I heard.

Jake Moore called me this morning

and told me the hearing had
been pushed up.

What the hell's wrong with Bruce?

Why is he turning state's witness?

There is a little more
to it than that.

Like what?

Brucie killed himself
last night, man.

Bruce killed him?

Jesus, Charlie, this stupid
mess you're getting us

into is really gettin'
out of hand!

Look, man, it is not my
fault about Bruce, huh?

That was that lame
brain Stark's idea.

And the only reason he charged
Bruce in the first place

was to try to scare him into
testifying against us.

So if you've gotta blame somebody
for Fowler's death,

you blame Stark!

Well, I got news for you,
Charlie.

He's got me scared.

Maybe I should turn
state's witness.

How would you like that?

Come on, Steve.

Look, I know we've had
our differences

over the years, but
we're brothers.

We gotta stick together
in this thing.

Besides, Jake tells me after
what Stark pulled

with his dropping the charge
routine with Brucie,

if he tries that with any
of the rest of us,

he's gonna get laughed
right out of court.

I don't know about that.

But I'll guarantee you one thing.

And you can make book on it.

I do not intend to go to prison

for something I did not do.

Hey, you're not gonna go to
prison at all, man.

I'm personally gonna see that you

get out of this thing, huh?

Yeah.

Come on, let's have
another drink.

You know, I think I
might take you

up on that offer for the lodge.

Go up there for a few days to
get my head cleared.

There you go.

I got my four wheeler all gassed
up and ready to go for you.

Go on up to the lodge.

Get started on that novel
you always been

wantin' to write, huh?

Hell, stay as long as you like.

I'll handle everything down here.

You may never have to come back.

I'm gonna have to come
back for the trial.

Maybe not.

I, uh, got me an idea.

If it works out, we may never have

to go to trial on this thing.

Look, Charlie, do me a favor and
leave well enough alone.

You've got us in enough
trouble already.

Yeah, okay, hoss.

Listen, get your mind off
this mess, huh?

Get going to that lodge up there.

You bring your stuff?

Yeah, I got some
stuff in the car.

Out in the lot, here it is.

There you go.

Just one thing, Charlie.

Anything happens down here,
you call me, okay?

Yeah.

The hell you doing here so late?

I ain't got a home anymore.

So I thought I'd sleep here
till I go to jail.

You ain't going to jail.

And this ain't no YMCA, you know.

Boss, don't you care what
happens to me anymore?

I got, it's like a legal order

to keep me from coming home and
from seeing my kids.

Maria's never going to
let me come home

just because of what you
made me do, man.

Christ, man, can't you
get it through that

thick spic head of yours
that I am sick

and tired of hearing you whine
about your woman?

Bobo, broad is just like a bus,
huh?

Miss one, there'll be another one
by in about 10 minutes.

Look, Charlie, don't talk
about Maria like that.

You know, she's the
mother of my kids.

Hey, hey.

Your wife locks you out
of your home,

won't let you see your kids,

she ain't worth the powder to
blow her to hell.

Charlie, look, man,
I'm warning you!

Don't talk about Maria like that.

Hey, there is a chain of command

around here, grease monkey.

You are on the bottom.

Okay, Charlie.

If that's the way you want it.

Just remember, I know what
really happened.

And there might be some
other people who

would like to know that too.

What?

You just keep your mouth shut.

Yeah.

Mr. Stark,
Cindy Langley

is here to see you.

Well, uh, have her come in.

Hello, Cindy, sit down.

Mr. Stark.

Look, I'm glad you came.

There's something I want to
talk to you about.

Remember the farmhouse you
called your father from?

Mr. Stark, I've changed my mind.

I've decided not to go
through with this.

Now, wait a minute.

Look, you can't just walk
in here and...

Look, Joey, we had a
problem going

through there the last time.

Don't you remember?

Hey, Joey, how you doing, eh?

Sit, Charles.

You know, there's nothing
wrong with my memory.

But there's something wrong
with your mouth.

It's open when it should be shut.

Now, you just do what I tell you.

I've been expecting you, Charles.

Hey, listen, Joey.

There's no sense beating
around the bush, eh?

Now, look, I know you've
had you lay some

muscle on for me before,
but this time,

things are really serious.

I got my brother talkin' turnin'
state's evidence on me

and my mechanic's givin' me
a big hassle, too.

I know more about this kid
than you do, Charles.

Look, Joey, all I know is
that little whore

is on my mind all the time.

And I want her off my mind,
permanently!

Cindy, are you being
threatened in some way?

No.

I've just been so
miserable since I

filed those damn charges.

I can't sleep.

I can't eat.

I...

What happened to the girl
who wanted to put

Charlie Johnson behind bars?

I don't believe you.

Bruce Fowler killed himself.

Doesn't that bother you?

You and I killed him.

Oh, that's ridiculous, Cindy.

We have a police report on Fowler

said he tried to commit
suicide two years ago.

He was an unstable person.

Look, I've made up my mind,
and this time,

you're not gonna talk
me out of it.

I just wanna drop this
whole damn thing.

Well, I'm afraid it's
out of your hands.

Once you file the information,

the state of California
presses the charges.

Well, maybe so.

But you're not gonna have much

of a case without my testimony,
are you?

Cindy.

You realize, of course,

that we can hold you for perjury
in contempt of court?

Perjury?

You've gotta be kidding talking to
mean about perjury!

If I were you, I'd give it
a little thought

as to how you made me lie about

Mr. Fowler and Steve raped me
when they didn't.

How would you like it if I said

that when you make me testify?

Cindy, nobody made
you do anything!

Now, look.

I am just trying to
prosecute this case

to the best of my ability.

All right.

Kid's a free spirit.

Hitchhiker, right?

Yeah.

Well, she could very
easily disappear,

never be heard from again.

Sounds good.

Tell me more.

Cost you 20,000.

10 up front, 10 when
the job's done.

It's no problem at all.

When would I meet this guy
that's performing this...

You don't!

You see, Charles, that's why
you're in this mess,

because you're stupid.

Even I don't know who
carries out the job,

and that's the way I like it.

I make the deal on the phone.

I mail the money and a file to

the post office box and forget it.

That way, nobody could put the
finger on anybody.

Now, do you capisce?

Yeah, Joey.

I like the way you do business.

Damn it, though, I just
wish we didn't have

to waste this kid.

Well, you can't have
it both ways.

What's it gonna be?

Okay, Joey.

Okay, I'll, uh, I'll
have the money

for you tomorrow, all right?

I'll be in touch.

Well, uh, I'll see you tomorrow.

Cindy, I still think
you're feeling

threatened in some way.

Fowler suicide's bothering you.

Why don't you sleep on it?

I'm sure you'll change your mind.

No way.

Yeah, get Jake Moore
on the phone.

Okay.

Someone has been
threatening Cindy Langley,

and she wants to drop charges.

Now, uh, I'm not gonna let her,
of course,

but I'm getting fed up with
wet nursing this kid,

and I've decided, well, I might
reconsider your offer.

That was last week.

This is a new week and a new deal.

If that kid has decided
to drop charges,

you're in trouble and you know it.

Look, I will either lessen the
charge to illegal intercourse

or go all the way with
additional charges

of Johnson threat attempts.

You think Charlie
threatened her?

He nearly broke her
jaw once already.

That stupid lover boy?

You're really grabbing for straws.

I can see what's happening.

That swinging little miss is
beginning to feel guilty

about your railroading Charlie,
so she's decided

not to cooperate with you.

Face it, Jack, you're
out on a limb

that's about to be cut off.

I am telling you, Moore,
if I find out

that Johnson threatened or
bought out that kid,

I'm gonna get him if it takes me
the rest of my life.

Ah.

I think our next governor should
be giving more attention

to making damn sure he hasn't
done anything illegal

behind my client's back.

Good news, Charlie.

The hell are you so happy about?

I've got our

reigning Adonis running scared.

And he's dropping all charges.

Are you putting me on?

I most certainly am not.

All right, Jake!

We did it!

All right!

Woo, that's fantastic.

But first, you haven't done
anything to threaten

or bribe that kid, have you?

No.

No, why do you ask me that?

Because John Stark is
going to have a no

show with the Langley girl.

He's blowing in the wind,
of course.

But he's implying that you
coerced her in some way.

No.

Hell no.

I wouldn't do something
stupid like that.

So we got Stark on the run, huh?

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna sue that prima
donna for false arrest.

Forget it, baby.

Just consider yourself
lucky on this one.

I wouldn't press it.

Let me say this, though.

You just better hope she
doesn't run in front of

any cars for the next few days.

Well, I was in the neighborhood
and I wanted to give

you the good news in person.

See you around.

Hey, listen, Jake.

That kid's hitchhiking
all the time.

I mean, uh, what if
something happened to her?

What if she just
disappeared or somethin'?

Hell, I can't be responsible
for her actions.

Charlie, listen to me, and
you listen good.

From now on, nothing.

And I mean nothing better
happen to that girl.

Yeah.

Sure, Jake.

Joey, we gotta stop this thing,
man.

Hey, slow down, pal.

You're gonna give yourself
a heart attack.

What's so urgent?

Look, we gotta stop
your operator.

All right, come on.

Joey, I'm tellin' you,
you've gotta find

a way to stop this thing.

That will be difficult, my
friend, if not impossible.

I'm surprised the deed hasn't
already been done.

Maybe it has.

Why you want to call it off?

Because she's
dropping the charges,

and the DA thinks that I'm doin'
a number on her.

Now, look, you can keep
the 10 grand,

but you gotta get this
thing called off.

Hey, that 10,000's already gone.

Okay, then, I'll give you
the other 10 grand.

I don't care.

Look, Jake Moore says if this
chick gets wasted now,

I am really in trouble.

All right.

But I can't guarantee anything.

Like I told you before, Charlie,

I never see the man or men who
carry out these things.

Now, that's a long shot.

Hey, look.

You go back to your
rigs and you do

what you do well, making money,

and I'll see what I can help
you spend it, okay?

Okay.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Sure, Joey.

You did what?

Hey, I paid
a ton of money

to see that she disappeared
before the trial.

I was doing it for all of us.

So what's the problem?

Call the damn thing off.

That's just it, I can't.

I mean, I tried, but wheels
are already turnin'.

I need time to find
ways to stop it.

Hey, wait a minute here.

I got me an idea.

You could talk to her.

I could talk to her?

You're crazy.

The hell I am.

You're good with words.

And she likes you.

If you could just, uh,

get her back into your
confidence again,

then you can talk her into goin'
somewhere with you.

I'd have time to call
this contract off.

Hell, uh, the two of you could
take a cozy little trip

to Hawaii or something.

I'll pay all the expenses.

Why the hell should I
stick my neck out?

'Cause we're brothers, man.

Half brothers.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, Steve.

Listen, I'll tell you
what I'll do, huh?

You do this thing for me,
and I'll,

uh, I'll give you the deed to that
lodge up there, free.

I don't know.

If I tell her that you
made arrangements

to have her killed,

she just might go to
the police again.

Get her to liking you first.

Turn on that charm of yours, huh?

I know, don't even, don't even
tell her about that contract.

I mean, just tell her I
was gonna have her

roughed up a little bit, huh?

Look, we've got to
take this chance.

If anything happens to that girl
now, we're in big trouble.

You mean you are.

Hey, look, man.

Now, we were all in this
hook together.

And if that girl gets killed now,
we are all goin' to jail.

Now, you gonna help me get
out of this or not?

I don't even know
where she lives.

Hey, I got all that stuff, huh?

Well, I'll go and talk to her,

but I am not promising anything.

Give me Cindy's number, and I'll
see what I can do.

You know, Charlie, for a smart
man, you can really screw up.

Where are you calling from?

I'm about two blocks from your
home at a phone booth

by a restaurant here called
the Victoria Station.

I know the restaurant.

What are you doing there?

It's important that
I talk to you.

Steve, you know I'm not going to

court against you, don't you?

I'm so sorry I've caused
you any problems.

Cindy, I know you've
dropped the charges.

And there's a couple of
things that I want to

discuss with you later,

but right now it's
important that I talk

to you about something else.

I was wondering, would
it be possible

for you to come over here?

You mean right now, this minute?

Believe me, Cindy,
when I tell you,

it is extremely serious.

Okay, I'll come right away.

Okay, I'll see you in
a little while.

Bye.

♪ A man who's paid up all his dues

♪ I've not forgotten

♪ I've scraped the bottom

Hi, Steve.

Hi, half pint.

I remember the first time
you called me that.

Yeah, I remember too.

Only too well.

I'm really sorry, Steve.

The DA convinced me I
had to testify

that you raped me if I wanted
to be sure Charlie

would go to prison.

Cindy, you have got
to believe me.

Cindy, look at me.

I honestly thought that
Charlie had passed out

for the night or I would never
have left you alone.

The only reason I left in
the first place

was because I didn't want
Charlie to wake

up and find us together.

Why is it so important

I come over here right away?

You said it was serious.

It is serious, Cindy.

There's a possibility that

there's some,

damn it.

Tell me what, Steve?
Can I get you something?

- Tell me what?
- Miss?

Uh, yeah, a screwdriver.

Would you like anything else?

No, I'm fine.

What are you trying
to say to me?

Steve.

Cindy, I left you alone
that night when

you were depending upon me.

Would you be willing to put

your trust in me one more time?

I purposely came onto you that

night so you'd stay with me.

I know that.

That night was a chain
reaction of errors

committed by all of us.

Give me your hand, half pint.

Charlie paid a large sum of money

in exchange for a guarantee that

you would not appear in court.

You mean that son of a bitch

was going to have me killed?

He's crazy!

Cindy.

Honey.

It's okay.

Cindy.

Cindy.

Listen, listen.

Look.

You okay?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I think so.

You sure?

Look, the important thing
is to find a place

for you to hide until Charlie can

get through that stupid
chain of command,

get this damn thing called off.

There might be
somebody out there

right now waiting to kill me.

I think I should go to the police.

Cindy, you did that once, and
look what happened.

Just tell me what to do.

I came, half pint,

and this time, I won't
leave you alone.

I believe you, Steve.

I'll do whatever you say.

Okay.

Well, we've got to find a
place for you to hide.

You said you moved
to the country.

I'm staying at Charlie's lodge

up in Silverado, you
know the place.

If we could be sure that
Charlie wouldn't come up,

wouldn't that be a good
place for me to hide?

Yeah.

You know, you, you never
cease to amaze me.

Do you think you could
handle that place?

Sure, no problem.

What about me?

Hey, it'd only be for a
couple of days.

I'm, uh, sure we could stay out
of each other's way

for at least that long,
couldn't we?

I'm sure we could.

What would you tell your parents?

Oh, that's the easiest part.

They're so involved in
their own problems,

my putting my backpack on and
saying I'm going to LA,

staying with friends, wouldn't
bother them at all.

But, uh, you think that
creep would call first

before he decided to come up?

Oh, I don't think we have to
worry about Charlie at all.

He's gonna be too busy trying to
get the hit called off.

That's a damn lie, that
son of a bitch.

You know, I still think
I should blow

the whistle on that schmuck.

Cindy.

Cindy, now you listen to me.

If you do anything to get
back at Charlie,

it is going to boomerang on me.

Now, is that what you want?

God, no, Steve.

That's the last thing I want.

I've already caused you
enough trouble already.

Okay.

Then let's go to work on
protecting you.

Now, if you're already
being followed,

I think I've got a plan.

We can lose him.

This is like right
out of a movie.

Well, let's just hope that

this movie has a happy ending.

Now, here's what I want you to do.

Just pull up here
and let me out.

Hi, Steve.

Charle's a creep.

But this place is really
something else.

Glad you like it, half pint,

'cause it's gonna be your home
for the next few days.

Okay, bacon and eggs it is, then.

Okay.

Just give me a few minutes to find
out where everything is.

Hi.

Hi.

I just
finished the dishes,

thought I'd come down and see you.

Good.

What you doin'?

I'm working on the novel.

You know, I used to do
some writing, too.

But I've never had
anything published

except for in a high
school newspaper.

Maybe you can help me
while you're up here.

Steve, I'd love to.

Cindy, there's something
I want to ask you

that needs clearing up for me.

The night that we were here,

did you come running
out the bedroom

screaming hysterically that I
had let you down?

No, why would I do that?

Are you sure?

I don't know what Charlie told
you about that night.

But he and Bobo did rape me.

Steve, you probably know that man
better than anyone else.

What makes him hate women and
black people so much?

You have a right to know
after what Charlie

did to you that night,
maybe to make

it easier for you to handle it.

I doubt it.

I don't think anything ever will.

About five years ago,

Charlie was having this affair
with a young black girl.

He brought her up
here quite a bit.

Actually, she was a mulatto
passing as a white.

Charlie was married at the time.

And his son was four or
five years old.

And I guess the girl fell
in love with him.

At least, that's what
Charlie said.

Though how anybody
could fall in love

with him, I don't know.

Anyway, she wanted him to
leave his wife

and he refused.

This girl must have been
extremely vindictive,

because she somehow got
to Charlie's son,

to beat him up, but
accidentally killed him.

Well, I mean to you,

Charlie went wild.

And he beat the holy hell
out of that girl.

The girl was committed to

a state hospital in Camarillo.

Charlie's wife left him,

took him for a small fortune.

Hey, let's get off the subject.

It's giving me goose bumps.

Would you like to go for a hike
before it gets dark?

Not tonight, half pint.

It's been a big day rescuing you
from the bad guys.

Come on, let's go back
up to the lodge.

How long you
gonna stay here?

The rest of my life, I hope.

Do you have enough
money not to work?

Yeah.

I got enough money to last me
for about a year.

Anyway, I intend to sell that
novel that I've been writing.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

I've had a couple published.

Short stories.

Did anybody buy them?

Yeah.

About 10.

You know, Steve, I really
love this place.

Yeah, it is nice.

But it's so isolated here.

Don't you ever get scared here
all alone at night?

There was, last night, in fact.

I went for a walk in the woods

and when I came back, it
was getting late.

And I came across this strange,

weird, bushy-haired thing

that was going through
the garbage can.

I yelled at it and scared it off,

but I mean to tell you,

I have never in my
entire life ever

been scared like that before.

That must have been what I
saw here that night

when I ran out of here.

It was kind of dark.

And it was far away.

It was really wild and crazy.

There's nothing out there.

Hey.

Everything's okay.

It's time to go to bed.

Are we gonna sleep together?

Do you really want to?

Mmm, yeah, I do.

What do you think?

I think that we should wait

and see what tomorrow brings.

Okay.

Come on, I'll show
you the bedroom.

Calm down!

Honey, calm down.

Hey, what's going on,
you crazy dope?

Now that she's legal, you got her
back in the sack, huh?

Knock it off, Charlie.

What in the hell is going on?

What, what is Bobo doing here?

Hey, I brought all them with me
in case I need an alibi.

She got blown away or somethin'.

Now why didn't you two go to
Hawaii like I told you?

Because you told me to
play it by ear.

And this is where it turned out
she wanted to come.

Have you got through to the
right people yet?

No, not yet.

But hey, everything's in
the works, huh?

Couple of more days,
we'll be home free.

Charlie, Cindy is still
scared of you.

Now, if these people
are around here,

it might make her want to split.

Hoss, you can handle her.

I saw how she was hanging
onto you up there.

Everything's turning out fine,
just fine, huh?

Not quite, Charlie.

Remember that thing I told
you about out there

that you said was a scavenger?

Yeah.

Well, it was here
again last night.

Sure it wasn't that
damn hit man?

Not unless he likes to rummage
through garbage cans.

Cindy saw it clearly
through the window,

and she said that it
was a black woman

that looked mentally deranged.

Takes one to know one, huh?

It's not funny, Charlie.

It's very possible that that
might be Daphne Wood,

the one you had the trouble with.

Yeah, so what?

Well, she came back
here to kill you.

Jesus Christ.

You really think so, Steve?

I think you'd better
get the hell out

of here so I can go
out and find her

and get her back to Camarillo.

No, uh-uh.

Hell no.

I'll tell you what
we're going to do.

We're gonna have some
breakfast and then

we're gonna get out after her.

Damn it, Steve.

Just one thing after another.

First this Cindy broad,
and now this.

Now, I don't think she's
gonna be dangerous.

Okay, you guys ready to go, huh?

Charlie, what are you doin'
with that?

Hey, we're goin' hunting,
ain't we?

I don't go huntin' without no gun.

We're going to find her,
not kill her.

Hey, look, hoss, if that's
who we think it is,

she might be up here to kill me,
huh?

Okay, but just use the
gun to scare her.

Yeah, sure, hoss.

Tell you what, we'll cover more
ground if we split up, huh?

You and Herbie look up behind the
lodge in the hills,

Me and Bobo will be
down by the lake.

Let's go.

- Come on, Bobo.
- Okay.

You coming?

Yeah, I'm coming,
Charlie.

Steve!

Oh God.

Ah!

I'm gonna be sick.

You okay?

Who's that?

I don't know.

Whatever we're looking
for is dangerous,

so we'd better go warn Charlie.

We'll call the police later.

Come on.

Can you make it?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Hey.

Look at that dog.

Eh.

It's a worthless mutt.

Ain't no good to nobody, huh?

Hey, Charlie, man, don't!

It's only a dog.

Get away from me.

Charlie, man, it's a,
that's a dog!

No!

Here.

You hold that while I throw its
carcass in the water, huh?

It was just a harmless
little dog, Charlie?

And you didn't have to kill it!

If hadn't of shot it, it'd just,
uh,

run around and breed with a
bunch of other dogs,

and there'd be
thousands more of them,

just like you thick headed spics,
huh?

Bobo!

Shoot her!

I can't move!

Bobo!

Look out, Bobo, please!

Shoot her!

My god, no!

Ah!

God in heaven, Bobo,

why didn't you shoot her?

I don't know.

I couldn't do it.

I just couldn't.

I don't know
when I'm gonna hit

the road again, you know.

I've been there before.

I mean, you found me there.

I've got places to go and
things to see.

But Steve, I really do like you.

And I think that this
might be great

now that all this is over.

Hey, kiddo,

nothing in this life is forever.

The only thing certain is change.

I can't promise anything.

But I don't see why we
can't give it a try.
