Man from Reno Page #2

rode around on it till they got bored.

Not only did The Luft

Foundation press charges,

but someone from the company

appeared personally in court

just to ask for the strongest

possible sentence,

and all this over an old tractor that

nobody was using anyway,

yet now when a very

expensive car goes missing,

they just want to sweep it

under the rug?

- You know Steven Luft, right?

- I should. He funded my reelection.

- Really?

- Don't get too excited.

He funded the other guy, too.

Well, you think you can

talk to him about it?

I can try, but I know what he's

going to say, though.

- What?

- That since he got sick,

he didn't feel like being a hard-ass

anymore. But I'll talk to him.

Thanks, Dad.

First time at Mr. Luft's ranch?

First time at this one.

- Hello, Paul!

- Mr. Luft. How you doing?

Depends who you ask.

The doctor says I should stay in bed.

I say I'm fine.

What do you want to drink?

- Whatever you're having.

- Oh, no. You don't want any of that stuff.

- Get him a scotch and soda, will you?

- Uh, no, thanks. I'm on duty.

Oh, iced tea.

So.

Time to support my

local sheriff, is it?

Election's not

till next year, you know.

It's actually about my daughter.

Adorable girl, adorable girl.

From what I hear,

she's not going to be

with us much longer, is that right?

FBI Academy or something?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Poor old dad left all alone, eh?

Right.

She actually talked to

your head of security

not too long ago,

about that town car

that was stolen from the estate.

Didn't say anything about that.

- About the car being stolen?

- No, about your daughter calling.

Oh, well, the thing is,

we've been looking

for the man who was

seen with the car.

Asian man, mid-40s.

Ring any bells?

No.

Who is he?

The running man.

That's just the nickname

that's been floating

around the office.

Teresa told me you're not interested

in pursuing the matter.

- That's right. I'm not.

- Any reason why? - Do I need one?

No, not really.

It's just in the past

you've always been

so vigorous about it.

Well, look. Things have changed

over the last few years.

I made three major decisions.

What little time I've got left

I'm not going to spend rotting

away in a hospital bed.

And number two, I'm not

going to spend any more time

or resources on being

a vindictive son of a b*tch.

- What was the third?

- Spend more time with my kids.

Oh, no, I remembered,

I don't have any.

Well, Paul, I don't think

there's any point

in pressing these charges

any further...

unless you have another reason

for looking for this man.

Not unless you've got one.

- No, nothing for... - Excuse me, sir.

They're here to see you.
