01x07 - Stop When Red Lights Flash

Welcome to Docker Junction,
the friendly town.

Is there anybody in that bus.

I don't know.

- Well?
- Nobody in it.

What do you think?

It's almost 11 o'clock aren't
the kids in school already.

That's why here
he went right by.

- Shouldn't you wait, Danny?
- What one else here?

My hero.

Good morning, sir.
Your driver's license, please?

I think I know why
you stopped us, officer.

- Was it the school bus?
- Daniel Westin. Dr. Daniel Westin.

Well, Dan, we have an
ordinance in our little

town relating to the
safety of our children.

Well, there weren't any
children in the bus.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cite
you on municipal code 173, doctor.

There wasn't even a
driver in it.

That's uh passing a school bus illegally
while the red lights are flashing.

Just sign on the bottom, please.

Well, there were
other cars going by it,

or maybe they
were local drivers.

You have to make a
court appearance, doctor,

sometime between two and
four o'clock this afternoon.

Two o'clock?
We have a long drive ahead of us.

Oh you'll have plenty of
time for lunch ma'am.

Jeff's cafe is just down the street and
the courthouse is just on your right.

- See you folks in court.
- All rise.

Oh yay! Oh yay! Oh yay! This court
of Docker County is now in session.

The honorable Armistead Jones,
justice of the peace presiding.

Be seated.

The statistics show that the increase in
traffic violations is keeping our police

so busy that they cannot attend to the
serious crimes committed in the State.

Therefore it is the duty of this court
to discourage traffic violators.

And free our police for the
more important crimes.

Well, what do we have today.

Daniel Westin.

Violation of municipal
code 173, passing a school

bus when red lights are flashing,
how do you plead?

- Guilty!
- Not guilty.

Well, guilty of it with,
uh, with an explanation.

Well, that's your
explanation, Mr. Westin?

Your honor, I, uh, I pulled up
behind the bus and I waited.

I obeyed the law. Uh, then I
could see that it was empty

and there were there were other
cars going past it and so.

Well, that's no explanation, sir.

The lights are flashing and
you did go around the bus.

Yes, I've admitted that but...

Therefore guilt's charged.
the law is the law.

Don't fight it.

Well, all right then
your honor, guilty.

- Uh, $465.
- How much?

Code violation 200 is
endangering the lives of our

children 150 court costs 115,
making 465 total.

Well, that's outrageous,
we won't pay it.

- That's your privilege, sir.
- Not guilty.

Ah, well, then I'll set your trial
for tomorrow morning out there.

10 o'clock. Would prefer a
bench trial or a jury trial?

Neither. I will not pay the fine
and I'm not going to waste time...

Or 20 days in jail.

Dan? Uh, your honor, may we
have a small conference, please?

You're right, it's not fair.
Got to be practical...

465...

- It's out and out stealing it.
- Certainly is but we promised Walter.

They're nothing
but a bunch of crooks.

I know that, but he's
expecting us tonight

to start the Milton
project, we gave my word.

All right. Your honor,
I'll pay the fine.

Under protest. Uh, do you
have a pen I could use?

- Uh, no checks.
- No checks?

No checks.

But we don't carry
that much cash.

- You're allowed one phone call.
- If you reverse the charges.

Hello, operator? Yes.
I want to make a reverse charges.

Call please to uh area
code 213. 555-4321.

Step up to the bench.

Extension 999 please.

A massive code of
section 173 violation,

passing a school bus with
flashing red lights.

That'll be 235 including court costs.

I haven't got that much money.

I don't know where I get that
much. We're on our honeymoon.

We just got married this morning.

Hello Janice?
It's Daniel is Walter there, please?

- What are you doing?
- Looking for contraband, lady.

We're in Docker Junction.
It's a friendly little place.

$465? What did you
do, murder somebody?

- Not yet.
- Okay, okay. I think I understand.

It's just one of those places.
I'll wire the money right away.

What? Oh!

I, I'd get $200.

Just a second.

Well, uh, tell you let the nightgown be
35 and your $200 will settle the account.

- Hold on, Walter.
- Dan, what, what are you doing, Dan?

It's all the money we have.

And the negligee,
I've never even worn it.

All right, your honor,
if that's what the fine is.

Hold it.

I'll pay the difference.

I suggest you stay
out of this, Mr. Westin.

- I want to pay the $35.
- You're out of order, Mr. Westin.

I'm out of order. This
is the most outrageous

out of order swindle
I've ever come across.

But not only am I not going to pay the fine.
I'm not going to stand here watching...

You're in content, Mr. Westin.
One thousand dollars and five days.

- Is there a lawyer in this town?
- Yes, sir. Mr. Westin. Right here.

Charles Hooton,
I am a lawyer.

And the town controller
and the town treasurer.

Yes, ma'am uh...

I can accept that check
make it out for $500.

Consider it a retainer of course.

Well, no disrespect,
Mr. Hootens,

but don't you think there might
be a slight conflict of interest?

- Walter, are you still there?
- Yes, I'm still here.

- Now what's going on there?
- How long is it since you practiced law?

How long? Years.

Oh, your vacation's over,
we need you here.

Why me?
Why not a local lawyer?

- There must be somebody there.
- There's big trouble here.

The Klae resource is going to be
in jail for the next five days.

- Five days?
- Yeah, well let me put it this way.

They're allowing me one
phone call and you are it.

- Right, I understand.
- Mrs. Westin.

When you're ready to leave I can
recommend a hotel just up the street.

- Thank you, sheriff.
- You're welcome.

Westin got anything
worth keeping, hey A.J.?

- Not so far.
- I'll take a look in this car.

Yeah! Go ahead.

- Hi, Bentley.
- How are doing, Bob?

- Among the wagon Bentley?
- Proud of you.

Well, guess what we found in a routine
search for contraband, Westin?

What are these disguise?

Uh, yes, you're right,
it's uh it's my cover.

How dare you resort
to physical violence?

You're a disgrace to your uniform.

A bank was held up in Emeryville this
morning. Maybe these are disguised.

Or maybe that's a mask
you've got on now.

What do you really
look like under that?

This mask is for a
new year's eve party.

A replica mask for me
to have some fun with.

Now is there anything else you
want to know about our belongings?

All right, we're going
to check you people out.

If you're wanted
or have a record...

We'll know pretty quick.

If you remove anything I
want a written receipt.

Remove like what?

Like that nightgown.

Yeah, we used party.

Thinking.

Did you see the sheriff write
something in a little book?

Yes, the $235 fine against
that young couple.

What are you doing?

We have a a moral
responsibility here, Kate.

- Do we?
- Yes.

If that sheriff's keeping a
record of the money's collected.

All we have to do is to get
a hold of that little book

and then we can nail the
whole thieving operation.

How?

Well, did you notice
the sheriff noticing you.

How could I not notice it?

Oh, why don't we
take advantage of it?

Oh, Danny's such a yuck.

And I'll come along.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Makes me sleepy
just looking at it.

Get the sheriff.

Sheriff?
Sheriff?

- Want out?
- Shh!

Oh, sleeping, eh?

When problems pile up he
sleeps until they go away.

You know, you got yourself a
real oddball there, Mrs. Westin.

No offense.

Say, um, I'm sorry
about before.

Well, don't carried away that.

There it takes a big man
to admit a mistake.

I accept your apology.

Oh, um, excuse me. Did you say
you could recommend a hotel?

I sure can.

See how about my really
making enough to you.

Buy you drinking, buy a lunch.

Well...

Married, sheriff?

Married? Happy, lady.
I'm free as a bird.

And call me Bentley.

Regular for me, Jody.

I'm gonna get the
book out of his boot.

What do you have ma'am?

Oh, I'll have a sherry,
please. My name's Kate.

Okay, Kate.
One sherry, Jody.

You sure are a classy
looking woman, Kate.

I wouldn't want you to get
the wrong idea about me.

Oh, I wouldn't Bentley.

And I figure sometimes it's better
being a big frog in a small pond.

Well, here's to a happy
time in Docker Junction.

I'll drink to that.

I can hold it.

My earth, you're just
a drinker, Bentley.

Well, you think that's something, huh?
Hey Jody, just another round okay, Kate?

Okay, Bentley.

Do you know how to play
Chuggalog, Bentley?

I sure do, Kate.

Down the hatch without
stopping and keep it coming, eh?

Don't waste
any time, eh, darling?

Kate, you're really something.

You're not so bad
yourself, Bentley.

Hey, Jody, keep coming.

I'm gonna tell you something baby.

There's no way I'm gonna spend the
rest of my life in Docker Junction.

I knew right off you
were a man of vision.

Vision?

That's I wanna be rich, baby.
Rich.

Me and the judge.
Partners

Fifty-fifty.

Yes, ma'am.
Two million dollars.

I keep all the records.

That little red book you
were writing in, Bentley,

is that where you
keep your records?

Ah, not that book.
It's the big red book.

Yeah! I got all the
records, 11 years.

You don't carry that book
around with you, do you?

No way, honey. I got that
one in a real safe place.

Listen it's right in the
courthouse locker room.

- Bentley, you're on duty.
- Oh!

I'm okay, judge. Just having
a couple before lunch.

Yeah, well!

I want my lunch too. You get
back to the courthouse.

Okay, partner.
Let me have a check, Jody.

Gonna see him across.

He could get run over.
I'm gonna follow his honor.

Ah, last week's
receipts, counseling.

Come on, Charlie,
make your entries.

Okay, all up to date.

You know, A. J., with your reinvestment
program, we're gonna be rich man.

Well, it's a good
partnership Charlie.

- 50-50.
- All the way.

Where do you want to eat?

I think the road house I got
a little present for girl.

Hello, Ethel.

What's the matter
with you, Bentley?

I was sick.
Something I ate. I think...

- Something you drank, more likely.
- Goodbye, Ethel.

Lunch time, Westin.

- Hey, Westin, wake up.
- Bentley!

- Uh, why don't we let him sleep?
- I'm just gonna wake him up for dinner.

- By the way, Bentley, how do you feel?
- Oh I'll be okay.

Say, uh, I sure hope I didn't,
well, you know, get out of line.

- Oh no, of course not.
- Ah, hello, darling.

- Did you have a nice nap?
- Yeah! Solid.

Uh, look, you want to keep
him company while he eats?

- Well, of course.
- Okay.

How'd it go with the judge?

Oh, he went to see the lawyer Hooton's.
He has a book too, a black one.

It shows that he's a 50-50
partner, same as the sheriff.

And with the judge
that makes 150.

That may not be the end of it.
There may be other 50-50 partners.

It seems that the judge
keeps the money but get the

others to keep the records
in their own handwriting.

Ah, so the left hand doesn't know
what the right hand is doing.

Hmm, elementary,
my dear Westin.

Did you get a hotel room?

Yes, oh. And I went to
a place just outside of

town called the Road House
and guess who runs it?

- Gert, court reporter.
- That tough to guess, huh?

She may be a 50-50 partner too.

Listen, go and see what you can find
out there, but be back by nine o'clock.

Back where?

Or meet me across the square in
front of the newspaper office.

- How is it?
- Disgusting.

There company for you, Westin.

Get ride in, Walt.

- I was counting on you, Walter.
- I realize that now.

I mean did you have to tell him the
whole proceedings were out of order.

He antagonized me.

But did you have to call him an
outrageous open-handed swindler?

Oh. I had a ball some steam.

Did you also tell him that you weren't
going to let him get away with it?

- You too?
- Mhm.

And I flew here to keep
you out of trouble.

- Where's Kate?
- Oh, she's out looking for clues.

- Walter, you remember the Jimson case?
- Hmm.

Those two friends of
yours, uh, Craig and Benoit.

Yes.

You're allowed one phone call
I want you to call them.

What's on your mind?

I want them here for the
trial tomorrow morning.

Wait a minute...

- I have to get my beauty sleep.
- What are you doing?

- I'm going to take a walk.
- Walk?

- Yes, I have to place an ad.
- An ad?

Yeah! In the newspaper.

Can you see what's stuck?

Dan?

- Dan, are you here?
- Yeah! I'm freezing. You're late.

- Ten minutes, sorry. You were right?
- I'm always right.

- About what?
- Gert's partner.

She keeps her records in a green
book out at the roadhouse.

I'll tell you about it later.
Are you ready?

I was ready ten minutes ago.

All I need is a few
minutes with the presses.

- Good evening.
- Oh, yes ma'am.

Uh, I'd like to know about the rates
for an advertisement in your paper.

- Classified, ma'am, uh, how many lines?
- About a quarter of a page.

Oh, too late for
tomorrow's run, ma'am.

Yes, that's uh a big ad
how about next week.

Oh, I hope by next week it won't be
necessary. You sure you can't do it now?

No, no. We're all
bedded down, Miss, uh,

we'd have to lift something out
to make room for a quarter paint.

Oh, yes, well, I'm sorry we
can't do business, gentlemen.

So am I, Miss. May we escort
you to where you're staying?

Oh, my pleasure, the hotel.

Good evening, officer.

- He's sleeping, eh?
- Shh!

He just sleep.

Yeah! And he's got to
sign a release form.

Just leave the papers with me. I'll
have him sign him when he gets up.

He'll sign it now.

Wait a minute. We're entitled to
some rights even in a place like this.

Don't start
any trouble, Carlson.

But we've got our rights.

That man has a right to sleep just
as I have a right to protest.

Not in here, he don't.
Back off!

All right Westin, let's go.
Wake up... Hey what's happening?

I'm clouding your mind,
such as it is.

Ah, what are you... what
are you talking about?

I'm talking about the awesome
power of the inner eye.

- What?
- The inner eye.

An invisible impenetrable
force at my command.

Watch your right arm.

Now your right leg.

- Hey, you'll kick me.
- Not, not me sheriff, my inner eye.

Well, if I were you I'd get out
of here while you still can.

Now you just leave the papers
and I'll see if they're signed.

What's going on in here?

Don't get anybody get any
sleep around this place.

Now I've been doing a little homework
on the yes yeses and the no-no's.

And the bylaws of the association
of law enforcement officers.

And the way things have
been going around here.

I'm not too sure I won't
send in a report on you.

You're nuts!

You see,
just a little faith.

Oh! I haven't had so much
fun since I signed

that cost plus contract
with the government.

- What now? What could possibly top this?
- Oh, you haven't seen anything yet.

Take it easy.

DIVIDENDS FOR ALL
Untold Riches to Be Disclosed

Now listen to me, Charlie. I
know how easy you get nervous.

I'm telling you this headlines just
somebody's idea of a practical joke.

And I'm not about to get panicky I
suggest that you get hold of yourself.

I am nervous, I'll admit.

But the whole town is in that courtroom
right now and they're expecting something.

Don't you worry about this whole time,
they're just jabbering.

I've been listening to them
jabbering for 11 years.

Look, I am not only nervous, A. J.

I got a funny gut feeling about this thing
we got too much to lose, a million each.

You know we haven't turned over
one tenth of what we've collected.

Easy, Charlie.

Nobody, nobody is gonna
take our money away.

Now you just get in there and get
ready to conduct the prosecution.

That fellow Westin's got
a surprise coming to him.

He's got three months coming
up of Ethel's home cooking.

Hey, have you guys
seen the paper?

Oh!
What's going on?

Will you get the prisoner?
We're ready.

- The courtroom's back to the rafters.
- Great.

All right, does everyone
know what to do?

- Right.
- What about the record books?

Oh! I'm, I'm already
to get those now.

Dan? What's...
what's the matter?

Oh, my stomach. I don't feel
very well. I gotta lie down.

Are you all right?
Shall I get a doctor?

- Bentley, is there a doctor?
- I'll be all right in a minute.

It's got the... chills.

What's the matter with him?
He was okay 15 minutes ago.

- He's got a nervous stomach.
- Maybe. He's got to appear in court.

Well, you can plainly see.

You can't go out there
in this condition.

Now, Walter.

Well, I guess, who's first
step on the docket?

I guess it's gonna
have to be you.

Go, Walter.

All rise!

Oh yay, oh yay, oh yay!

This court is now in session.
The honorable Armistead Jones presiding.

Be seated.

What about this, your honor?
What are we gonna get from you?

Something you don't
expect, Riley, sit down.

He don't have to talk
to you that way.

Order!

Well, the first case
is Daniel Westin.

Oh, Daniel Westin is indisposed
right now, your honor.

Walter Carlson's next on the docket.

Hmm, all right. We'll hear the
case against Mr. Carlson.

Are you represented
by council, Mr. Carlson?

I am an attorney, your honor.
And I will represent myself.

And I've appointed Kate
Westin as my associate.

All right,
step forward, Mr. Carlson.

You're charged with contempt
of court how did you plead?

Not guilty, your honor.

You want a jury trial?

Your honor, the defense
wants a bench trial.

We don't need a jury.

Uh, Mrs. Westin and I are
prepared to uh plead the case.

Uh, now if the court pleases,
uh, we will call our first witness.

The defense calls Miss
Gertrude Morocco to the stand.

Uh, what's this witness
being called for?

Just for a few questions,
your honor.

I wonder what he wanted
both of us here for?

I don't know, but I'll go
along with Walter Carlson.

He said to be here this,
have to be work.

It's my own business.

Who gives me gifts
and who doesn't.

We are speaking of a
pink and lacy nightgown.

- Object!
- Sustain!

- We object, your honor.
- Oh!

Overrule, where are all
these questions leading?

I don't know.

Oh, Mr. Carlson's defense against
the contempt citation, your honor.

Is to establish that one
cannot be in contempt

of a court which is
itself contemptible.

You're out of order, Mrs. Westin,
and there is no such procedure.

Oh, yes, your honor,
with all due respect.

And I quote on the
best authority.

180 and second. Ohio versus Hackett in which
a judge was later removed from office.

155 Utah, appellate 244.
Is that right Mr. Craig?

That's exactly right,
Mrs. Westin.

And they're precedents in New Jersey
two in Arizona, three in Delaware.

- I object!
- Sustained.

Order!

Who are you?
What are you doing in this courtroom?

Identify yourself, sir.

Certainly, your honor.

My name is Montgomery Craig.
Washington D.C.

Justice Department office
of the special prosecutor.

Proceed.

Now, Miss Morocco, please
answer my question.

Who gave you the nightgown?

- A. J. did.
- Louder, please.

Mr. Jones.

Order!

Wasn't that nightgown a part
of a fine in the court?

Don't the fines go into
the town treasury?

How could the judge give you
something that didn't belong to him?

Yeah!
Where do the fines go?

What's this time to at the show
for all the tickets I give out?

Your honor!

May I approach the bench?

Don't panic, Charlie.

I'm not panicking.
I'm trying to be sensible.

I want to tell you something A.J.

That woman has turned this trial
around. You're on trial here.

A very clever maneuver.

She's got a wedge to look into
the fines we've been collecting.

If she get my record book all
those entries are in my handwriting.

Well, I hope safe.
For your sake.

The books are on the
watercolor in the corridor.

Gert's green, sheriff's is red.

And Hooton's is black.

Let me tell you something
else A.J, for your sake.

Your protection from the capitol won't
work son-in-law or no son-in-law.

Not with all these fellas here
from the Justice Department,

he won't raise a finger.

He's got his own
official hide to protect.

And if I get nailed, I'm
gonna take you down with me.

All right, Charlie.
I'll handle it.

Because of certain information
that's reaching the ears of the court.

I'm going to dismiss this case.

- I object!
- You what?

We object, your honor, the defense does
not want a dismissal, that's not enough.

Mrs. Westin, in this court site of the
defendant and this court can...

No, your honor, with all
due respect, you can't.

With a dismissal you could reinstate
these charges at any future time.

We want this trial to continue.

We want complete
exoneration for us

and justice for all the
citizens in this town.

You honor! Your honor!
I object!

I object.
This whole trial is becoming a circus.

I want to know what this...
that's mine

The court will take
those books, counseling.

- That green book belongs to me.
- Where'd you get that red book?

These are Bentley records.
50 partnership with Armistead Jones.

50 percent to Gert and 50 percent
of the Bentley and 50 to me?

We were supposed
to be partners, A.J.

I set those speed traps
and fake those tickets.

I declare...

Recess.

Now wait a minute, A. J.!

Come on!

On the nest egg for
a rainy day, Jones?

You knew this day would
come sometime, uh?

Who's talking?

I am the spirit of
3,000 motorists.

Did you really think you could just
walk away with two million dollars?

It's my money.
It's mine!

It's stolen money.
Listen to them.

They're coming through that
door they're coming after you.

Give up, Jones,
you can't get away.

Hi, there.

This ain't as good as the books.

Mr. jones I'm Gerald Devoy from
the internal revenue service.

I'm interested in your tax
returns for the last 11 years.

Ah, do it again.

I trust you to remember the
Milton development project.

- Sure.
- Well, it is still top priority.

- See you home.
- Bye.

Danny?
Remember those Newlyweds?

Yeah!

Poor kids what a terrible
way to start a honeymoon.

Oh, in a few years they'll probably
think of it as a great adventure.

Remember our honeymoon?

Yeah!

That little town with that
inn overlooking the ocean.

Yes!

It's only a couple hours from here.

And the Milton development
project top priority?

- The Westin development project.
- Also top priority?

- Call it.
- Heads, Milton, tails, Westin.

Heads.

- Um, two out of three?
- Yeah!
