MEMPHIS:

Let them go --

DETECTIVE CASTLEBECK

How's that?

MEMPHIS:

Let them go. And I'll leave ...

DETECTIVE CASTLEBECK

You'll leave -- ?

MEMPHIS:

You don't have anything on me. A

misdee auto-theft. I got no record.

I'll be out in three days, and back at

it. Or you let them go, and I give

you my word. I'm gone. And without the

ringleader ... Your tee-times have

just grown exponentially...

DETECTIVE CASTLEBECK

I don't golf...

And they stare at each other, as Castlebeck considers.

DETECTIVE CASTLEBECK (cont'd)

I do this. And I see you again. I'll

come after you with everything I got.

you won't be able to steal a glance

at a blind man without me by your side ...

MEMPHIS:

You have my word...

DETECTIVE CASTLEBECK

Get out of here, then. Now.

And Memphis makes to get into the Shelby...

DETECTIVE CASTLEBECK

Leave the car, Randall ...

Memphis nods ... Takes one last look at the Shelby... Sorry to

leave it behind ... And he runs off into the mists of Lower

Grand ...

Castlebeck walks back toward the crime-scene tumult ...

DETECTIVE CASTLEBECK

Arright, let lim go. Cite him for

rolling the stop ... And cite old

Atley for driving to endanger ...

HAWKINGS:

What are you talking about, Rollie? We're

EXT. INDEPENDENCE, CALIFORNIA - DAY - 6 YEARS LATER

Some 400 miles North of Los Angeles, Independence is a one

horse town, and the horse has died... Single stop light,

single-engine firehouse, single everything. Norman Rockwell

would find this burg a snooze.. - We settle on a small,

GARAGE ... The peeling sign reads:

"L.N. ORR AUTOMOTIVE"

owned and operated by Memphis Raines ... In blue coveralls,

Memphis has a Plymouth Duster up on the lift ... With him is a kid

- TOM, 19... Lightnin' Hopkins' "Automobile Blues" plays through --

MEMPHIS:

You know what you got here?

TOM:

Not really -

MEMPHIS:

There's excessive resistance in the cranking

circuit ... You know what you gotta do -- ?

TOM:

Not really --

MEMPHIS:

You have any other answers besides

"not really"?

TOM:

Not --

MEMPHIS:

Right. You want to test the voltage drop ...

Use the voltmeter ... Remove the primary

lead from the ignitioncoil and crank her ...

See what you got ... You understand -- ?

Tom starts to say "not really". Instead, he nods. Memphis takes a

root beer from an old-style machine. He goes out ... front ... To

where an old Denver Pyle-coot - BUDGY - sits on a bench, smoking

an unfiltered Lucky ... Memphis sits beside him, pets the

200-year-old DOG that lounges nearby...
