KIT: DAD...

I DON'T HAVE A GOOD
FEELING ABOUT THIS.

HEY, THIS WON'T
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 CUT
IT CLEAN.

DAD...

STOP, LISTEN.

ONE MORE TIME.

I PROMISE,
ONE MORE TIME.

AND WE'RE FREE.

OKAY?

YOU'VE SAID

MR. GATES: [SCOTTISH ACCENT]
WELL, BOYS.

THE PRODIGAL SON
HAS RETURNED.

[CLEARS THROAT]
JAY: UM...

MR. GATES,
THE THREE OF US...

THE THREE OF US,
WE'RE OUT.

* *

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
WHAT'S THAT?

JAY: THAT'S UM...

THAT'S THE AMOUNT
FROM THE LAST GIG.

[SIGHS]

THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH IN
THERE TO COVER WHAT I OWE YOU.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
MR. GATES: WHERE YOU
THINK YOU'RE GONNA GO?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA DO?

YOU'RE CONS.

JAY: EX...

EX-CONS.
[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
EX-CONS.

SORRY, SUNSHINE.

BUT THE WORLD'S NOT
GONNA SEE YOU LIKE THAT.

LIKE AN EX-CON.

I JUST WANT A SECOND
SHOT WITH ME AND MY BOY.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
THAT'S JUST HEART-BREAKING.

BUT WHAT YOU ALL NEED
AIN'T GONNA FIT IN THAT BAG.

KIT: COME ON, DAD.

HURRY UP.

* *

* *

FORGET THIS.

JAY: I UNDERSTAND BUT...

WE JUST DON'T WANT
ANY BLOODSHED.

MR. GATES...

WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING
YOU'VE DONE; WE'RE GRATEFUL.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
YOU'RE GRATEFUL?

BUT WE'VE
CHANGED.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
MR. GATES: 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.
[SPITS]

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 LAST
FOX I EVER LET AWAY.

JAY:
MR. GATES PLEASE.

WE JUST WANT
A CLEAN SLATE, OKAY?

I DID WHAT YOU
ASKED US TO DO.

PLEASE.

* *

[MATCH STRIKES]

[GUN FIRE]

[GUNFIRE IN THE DISTANCE]

[GUN FIRE]

[BLOWS]

* *

SLEEP TIGHT,
YOU TWO.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
YOU'RE WONDERING WHY
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE,

AREN'T YA?

I GOT ONE MORE
JOB FOR YOU.
NEVER.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
OH, I THINK YOU WILL.

KIT: DAD?

STOP, SON STOP!

WHOA, LITTLE LEAK.

* *

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
YOU DO THIS JOB FOR ME,
YOU AND THE BOY GET TO LIVE.

MY BOY HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
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.

KIT: DAD!

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
OF COURSE YOU WILL.

GOOD BOY.

* *

* *

CASEY: PARKER, WE DON'T
HAVE TO DO THIS.

YOU CAN DROP THE CRIMINAL
CHARGES AND WE CAN

ALL JUST WALK AWAY.

PARKER: WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

CASEY: MAY I?

PLEASE.

[PEN CLICKS]

PARKER: 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.

[SMACKING]

PARKER: YOU
CRACK ME UP.

SEE, THIS IS ABOUT
THE CRIMINAL CHARGES

OF SHOPLIFTING
AGAINST YOUR CLIENT,

NOT SOME DRUMMED UP CIVIL CASE.

CASEY: YOU AND I ARE JUST
HAVING A FRIENDLY DISCOURSE,

BEFORE WE PASS THE POINT
OF NO RETURN.

I JUST THINK YOU DON'T
WANT TO GO TO TRIAL

'CAUSE YOU KNOW
YOU'LL LOSE.

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT'S YOUR WIN
STREAK UP TO?

39.

WOW.

CASEY: BUT THE POINT
I WANT TO MAKE...

IS THAT MY CLIENT SLIPPED
ON A WET FLOOR

IN ONE OF YOUR CLIENT'S

NATIONAL ELECTRONIC
RETAIL STORES.

PARKER: CASEY...
HE WAS STEALING A TV.

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 CURRENT
OBJECTIONS FROM YOU.

THE JANITOR WILL TESTIFY THAT
HE WAS RUNNING FOR THE EXIT.
THAT'S INTENT.

YEAH, BUT...
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 FORGOT
THE SIGN."

THE BIG, YELLOW WARNING SIGN
THAT NEVER LEFT HIS CART.

NOW AN EMPLOYEE OF YOUR CLIENT
APOLOGIZED TO MY CLIENT

MOMENTS AFTER THE INCIDENT.

AND HE KNEW THAT HE HAD DUTY
OF CARE TO PLACE THAT SIGN OUT

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.

[CHUCKLING]

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 COURT
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.

PRU: AFTER TEN YEARS
I WOULD'VE AT LEAST

THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE
CHANGED THE LOCKS.

PRU.

YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS DID
HAVE A KNACK FOR BEING

ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME.

[LAUGHS]

MY BROTHER'S
IN TROUBLE.

HE'S ALWAYS
IN TROUBLE.

NOT LIKE THIS.

CASEY: WHAT'S JAY GOTTEN
HIMSELF INTO THIS TIME?

IT'S MURDER.

MURDER?

WHO'D HE GO AND KILL?

DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
[WHISTLES]

A D.A., HUH?

YOUR BROTHER'S HIT
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?

39.

WELL, I'M GLAD OUR DIVORCE
WASN'T FOR NOTHING.

PRU, NOW LISTEN.
WILL YOU DEFEND HIM
OR NOT?

YOU'RE THE BEST
LAWYER I KNOW.

[SIGHS]

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?

PRU: 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 THAT
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 BUT
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A LICK.

STILL TOO BUSY.

CASEY: PRU...

* *

WHAT GOOD'S A WINNING STREAK IF
YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO RISK IT?

THANK YOU, CASEY.

I DID EVERYTHING THAT HE ASKED.

WELL THEN, YOU JUST KEEP

YEAH, THAT AIN'T
PART OF THE DEAL.

'CAUSE YOU
GOT CAUGHT.

NOW...

YOU DON'T TALK
TO NO LAWYERS.

DON'T TITTER-TATTER

YOU KNOW WE'LL
KNOW IF YOU DO.

IF YOU DO...

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
GONNA HAVE TO DO.

JAY: WHERE'S KIT?

WHERE'S MY BOY?

[HITS THE DOOR]

OOF!

JUST LIKE A LITTLE

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?

[LAUGHING]

YOU KNOW, WE KNOW
THAT YOU GOT

AN OUTSIDE PINCH-HITTER
COMING IN --

YOUR BROTHER IN LAW.

I'VE ALWAYS HATED LAWYERS.

PLEASE, PLEASE JUST

WHERE THEY'RE HOLDING
THE CHAMBERS CASE.

BEN WINGWRIGHT, JUST SWORN
IN AS SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.

CASEY: 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?
BEN: YEAH, YEAH.

THEY BROUGHT IN JUDGE THORNE
FROM TWO COUNTIES OVER

FOR THE CASE, TOO.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

COURTROOM'S UPSTAIRS.

[FLIPPING SWITCHES]

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.

* [SUSPENSE] *

[GUNSHOT]

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 TEST
THE WATERS ON A PLEA DEAL.

25?

HMM.

40?

BE OUT IN 20.

HM.
[CHUCKLING]

HOW ABOUT PLEA GUILTY
TO TRESPASSING AND

CARRYING AN ILLEGAL
FIREARM?

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
A LEG TO STAND ON.

DON'T YOU CARE THAT
JUSTICE IS DONE AT ALL?

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

EVERYONE'S INNOCENT
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 JUST
GRADUATED FROM NE'ER-DO-WELL

TO PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE.

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?

[CHUCKLING]

* *

OH, HEY I'M GONNA NEED THAT.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE NOTES.

I KNOW HE'S A MURDER
SUSPECT, BUT HE'S NOT

GONNA DOODLE ME TO DEATH.

OFFICER: SORRY,
JUDGE'S ORDERS.

JAY...

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 START
SAVING YOUR LIFE?

YOU ALWAYS WERE THE LEAST
FAVORITE OF PRU'S HUSBANDS.

WELL, CONSIDERING
SHE ONLY HAD ONE,

I'LL TAKE THAT
AS A COMPLIMENT.

SO WHAT'S
THE DEAL, JAY?

I DON'T KNOW.
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

I MEAN, I KILLED SOMEBODY.

CASEY: YEAH, THAT'S
WHAT I HEARD.

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 BOOT
PRINTS ON THE FLOOR.

BUT, THE THING THAT REALLY
MADE THE EXECUTIONER

SMILE EXTRA WIDE
IS THE FACT

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 START
BY ELABORATING.

[FOOTSTEPS]

[FLOOR CREAKS]

* *

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.

OFFICER: ALL RISE!

THE HONORABLE
JUDGE THORNE PRESIDING.

THE STATE OF GEORGIA
VERSUS STEVEN JAY CHAMBERS.

JUDGE THORNE:
COUNSELOR...

YOUR CLIENT'S BEEN
CHARGED WITH...

FIRST DEGREE MURDER.

HOW DO YOU PLEAD?

[WHISPERING]
GUILTY.

NOT GUILTY,
YOUR HONOR.

SHH.
JAY: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU ARE NOT GONNA HAVE
A LEG TO STAND ON
IF YOU PLEAD THAT.

EXCUSE ME, COUNSELOR.
DO WE NEED TO TAKE A RECESS

WHILE YOU AND YOUR CLIENT
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 CLIENT

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.

CASEY: YES,
YOUR HONOR.

I JUST...

I'M NOT SURE THAT MY CLIENT
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 THAT
HE CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL.

MOTION DENIED.

YES, YOUR HONOR.

JUDGE THORNE: WE'LL SET
THE TRIAL FOR...

NOVEMBER 10th.
[GULPS]

NOVEMBER 10th,
YOUR HONOR?

EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT
TO A SPEEDY TRIAL.

THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT HERE.
YES, YOUR HONOR.

JUDGE THORNE: COURT
IS ADJOURNED.

[GAVEL BANGS]

[LIQUID POURING]
EX: 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 PART

OF TOWN AT THE WRONG
TIME OF DAY,

SOMEBODY'S GONNA WANT
YOUR POCKETBOOK.

YOU TAKE IT
BLACK, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.

BUT FORTUNATELY...

SHE WAS RESCUED
BY A BRASH, YOUNG LAWYER

WHO TOOK DOWN HER ASSAILANT
USING ONLY HIS BRIEFCASE.

A BRIEFCASE?

MMM.
[SLURPING]

LIKE MY GRAND-PAPPY USED
TO SAY, "YOU DON'T PICK

A FIGHT WITH A LAWYER."

HER ASSAILANT GOT
15 YEARS IN PRISON,

AND CASEY GOT A DATE.

AND THEN, HE GOT
A FUTURE WIFE.

HUH.

WHAT'S ALL THIS?

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 PUT

TOGETHER A LITTLE STREAK.

BUT THEN, HE AND PRU GOT
DIVORCED AND SHE

MOVED BACK HOME.

I GUESS THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL
CAREER COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

WELL...

YOU TOLD ME WHAT
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.

* *

* *

[FOOTSTEPS]

HEY!
PRU: 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?
I DON'T KNOW YET.

YOUR BROTHER'S HOLDING IT
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?

HMM?

YEAH, IT'S THE BEST
I CAN DO RIGHT NOW.

* *

[LAUGHS]

* *

BOOTS...

FROG.
WHAT?

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 GOT
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.

WELL, IT'S A LITTLE

OH, I'M SORRY,
DID YOU NEED THIS PLOT?

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
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.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]

YOU DO THIS

LOOK, PARDON ME FOR
SAYING SO, BUT...

INN KEEPER JUST DOESN'T
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, IT
KILLED MY MOM.

I SAW BLACK JACK SIPHON OFF
EVERYTHING THAT WE OWNED.

GAMBLING'S A DISEASE.

I DON'T WANT THAT
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...

I HEAR THAT
YOU'RE A P.I.

WELL, THAT LICENSE

AND SHE SAID HE WAS
THE MEANEST CHILD IN CHURCH.

ONE CHRISTMAS, HE PUT
EX-LAX IN THE PUNCH.

IT WAS THIS EGG-NOG

HEY BOSS, WE'RE IN BUSINESS-

PRU!

[CHUCKLES]
HEY, SOLOMON.

HOW ARE YA?

GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?

PRETTY GOOD CONSIDERING
MY ADVANCED AGE.

Y'ALL ARE FRIENDS?

OH YEAH WE UH...

WHAT?
YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM?

PRU AND I
USED TO DATE.

CASEY: HA, HA!
DATE? HA, HA!

WHAT?

- YOU NEED SOMETHIN'?
- NO, BUT YOU DO.

THIS IS
JASON "FROG" STIDUM.

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" KILBY.

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.

PRU:
GATES OWNS MOST OF THAT LAND.

ANY IDEA WHAT THAT
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.

CASEY: 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

HEY, THAT SOUNDS FUN.

OWNED BY A
POTENTIAL MURDERER;

AND THEN JUST
SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

* [SLOW COUNTRY MUSIC] *

[FOOTSTEPS]

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 GET
ANY OF 'EM BACK!

YEAH, BUT THEY
WEREN'T PRU.

THAT'S TRUE.

IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS, MAN.
WHY DO YOU CARE NOW?

I ALWAYS CARED, I JUST DIDN'T
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.

[FOOTSTEPS]

THAT'S A .45.

[FLASHBACK, GUNSHOTS FIRED]

CASEY: YES, IT IS.
THAT'S A 9 MILLIMETER THERE,

AND SO IS THAT...
[FLASHBACK, GUNSHOTS FIRED]

AND THEN TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS... DIFFERENT ANGLE.

THAT LEADS ME TO THINK
THAT THIS THERE IS UH-

SOLOMON: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED
TO BOOTS AND FROG.

I JUST HOPE KIT WASN'T HERE
WHEN THIS WENT DOWN.

[BLOWING OUT]

I'M NOT EX-FORENSICS BUT I'D BE
WILLING TO BET THAT

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.

* [TENSE MUSIC] *

YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO
BULLET HOLES ON THIS WALL SO...

MAYBE BOOTS, FROG, AND KIT
GOT AMBUSHED?

IF I WAS GONNA DO AN AMBUSH,
MIGHT DO IT RIGHT HERE, SEE?

[PEEKABOO

[SIGHS]

SIX SHOOTERS...
SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE GANG...

SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE GANG.

SOLOMON:
THESE GUYS ARE GOOD.

I DON'T SEE BLOOD ANYWHERE.

YOU KNOW, MY DADDY USED TO TAKE

ME HUNTING A LOT
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'T
SHOOT A DEER?

WHAT A WIMP!

NO, NOT A WIMP...
I WAS JUST SCARED.

[FLASHLIGHT CLICKS]

WE NEED TO FIND
WHO THAT IS.

THERE'S GOTTA BE

CASEY: NICE AND LOUD?

OH UM...

PROBABLY A LITTLE LOUDER

TOO LOUD TO HEAR A GUNSHOT?
HUH?

OR EVEN LIKELY THAT UH...

D.A. JENKINS WAS SHOT FAR
EARLIER THAN YOU SAY?

HE'S ASKING THE

OVERRULED... CONTINUE.

WELL, BEFORE MY CLIENT EVEN
ENTERED THE BUILDING...

ROLLED THROUGH TOWN...

IS IT POSSIBLE YOU
DIDN'T HEAR THE GUNSHOT?

HEARD A GUNSHOT.

AHEM.

MAY I UH...
APPROACH THE WITNESS YOUR HONOR?

NOW DUSTY, CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS

WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO DO IS PUT
THE HEADSET ON AND ADJUST THE

DOCTOR SAYS IS TOO LOUD.

- OKAY.

HE'S THE ONE; HE'S THE ONE
WHO AIMED HIGH.

IT TAKES ONE
TO KNOW ONE.

CASEY: SO WHAT WAS YOUR LAST
MEMORY OF THAT EVENING?
[CAMERA SHUTTER]

I SAW JAY CHAMBERS RUNNING

OUT OF THE BUILDING
WITH A GUN IN HIS HAND.

NOW, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT
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.

CASEY: NOW YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED
TWICE, IS THAT CORRECT?

THAT'S RIGHT, TWICE.

AND YOU WERE ABLE TO CALL 911
DURING BOTH OF THOSE ROBBERIES?

- YES.
- OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

JUDGE: 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.

CASEY: 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.

[SCOFFS]

I GUESS THEY WERE CALLED BEFORE
HE WAS MURDERED.

[PEOPLE MURMUR LOUDLY]
BEN: OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR...

THAT'S CONJECTURE!

BUT YOU COULD
OPEN THEM.

I'VE GOT ENOUGH ON MY

YEAH, I'VE READ

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

YOU'RE SHOVELING SOME
DIRT ON ME.

OH, I'M NOT IN THE BUSINESS
OF DIGGING GRAVES.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
WHAT ARE YA IN THE BUSINESS OF?

JUSTICE.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
WELL, I'VE GOT MY OWN

JUSTICE, MR. McKAY.

CASEY: HEY, LOOK... LOOK.
DON'T SUGARCOAT IT.

JUST THREATEN ME LIKE A MAN
AND THEN WALK AWAY.

SEE, I GOTTA DATE TONIGHT SO...

HMPH.

[TAPPING, SHUFFLING SOUNDS]

[SIGHS]

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
I WASN'T THREATENING YOU.

I WAS JUST GIVING YOU
A FRIENDLY WARNING.

SAME DIFFERENCE.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
NO, NO, NO.

YOU SEE, A THREAT...

[GUN CLICKING]

WOULD GO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

YOU TRY AND PIN
SOME DIRT ON ME,

MY BOYS HERE WILL
PUT YOU IN A GRAVE.

NOW THAT'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 THREAT
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.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
G'DAY? HMM...

YEAH, MY DADDY
WAS A COLLECTOR.

I HAVE HIS COLT
SINGLE ACTION .44

AND HIS DOUBLE
ACTION .41.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
WOW, DID YOU KNOW THIS...

BILLY THE KID USED
TO CARRY THEM.

HE CALLED ONE "THUNDER" AND THE
OTHER ONE WAS "LIGHTNING."

CASEY:
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.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
MR. GATES: WOW... IT'S VERY

RARE TO MEET ANOTHER AFICIONADO.

CASEY: 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'T
SETTLE THIS AT HIGH NOON.

[SCOFFS]

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
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.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
YOU SEE, SOLOMON THERE...

HE'S ON 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 THAT
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.

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 AUNT
PRU TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS SAFE

BEFORE WE GET OUTTA TOWN.

[SIGHS]

HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT HE KILLED HIM?

I WAS THERE.

[FLASHBACK]
GERALDO: 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.

JAY: 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

AND I DON'T
CAUSE YOU'RE DEAD TO ME.

[TRUCK DOOR OPENS]
HEY, DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

GET BACK IN HERE!
HEY!

[POLICE SIRENS]
AH...

[CLOSES TRUCK DOOR]

[POLICE SIRENS,
TIRES SCREECH]

OFFICER: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
REMAIN SILENT

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN
AND WILL BE USED

AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO AN ATTORNEY.

IF YOU CAN NOT
AFFORD AN ATTORNEY,

YOU'RE TO BE PROVIDED ONE.

MOVIN' TO A NEW

HMM?

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

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?

I THINK WE'D BETTER SEND
A MESSAGE TO JAY.

YEAH.

[SIGHS,
TRAIN HORN SOUNDS OUTSIDE]

[TAPPING HEAD]

[CLATTERS]
MAN: YOU GOT A PACKAGE.

[ENVELOPE RUSTLING]

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

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.

[TRAIN HORN, SLOW FOOTSTEPS]

[TRAIN HORN]

BEN: HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE NOT
LYING JUST TO GET A DEAL?

AND WHY IS IT NOW THAT YOU'RE
WILLING TO TESTIFY?

[SCOFFS]

[SLOW FOOTSTEPS
APPROACH DOOR]

* *

[SAYS EMOTIONALLY]
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.

* [EMOTIONAL MUSIC] *

HE WAS BLACKMAILING YOU?

HE WAS GONNA HURT MY BOY.

* *

BEN: YOU WERE RIGHT.

HENRY HAD BEGUN AN
INVESTIGATION ON GATES.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PROOF YET
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.

[CLATTERING SOUND]

BEN: WELL, DUSTY CAN'T SEEM TO
FIX THE POWER OVER THERE.

CASEY:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

BEN: THE WHOLE BACK SECTION HAS

[GERALDO PULLS

BEN: UH, YOUR HONOR... I COULD
USE THAT RECESS AS WELL.

WE'LL TAKE AN EARLY LUNCH

YOU WANTED THEM

WILLING TO TESTIFY AGAINST YOU.

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN
SECOND CHANCES?

[SCOTTISH ACCENT]
NO, I DO NOT.

CASEY: 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.

I'M WILLING TO
LEVEL IT OUT FOR YOU.
