CASEY: RATCHET WASN'T THERE TONIGHT; DO YOU THINK YOU

CAN FIND HIM AND FLIP HIM?

OH, PROBABLY.

CASEY: GREAT.

KIT, I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO HIDE OUT HERE.

NO. UNCLE CASEY, WE'RE LEAVING TOWN AND YOU CAN'T STOP US.

CASEY: 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.

[ENVELOPE RUSTLING]

JAY: 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.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PROOF YET TO BRING HIM DOWN,

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.
