Mr. Majestyk Page #2

Complainant says he offered you

a business proposition.

And instead of a simple "no thanks,"

you assaulted him with a shotgun.

It was his gun, not mine.

And he was trespassing.

Lieutenant.

Four years ago, he got one-to-five

in California for assault. First offense.

Served nine months in Folsom.

You use a gun that time in California, too?

It was in a bar.

Guy hit me with a beer bottle.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant, I got 160 acres of melons

sitting out there.

I got to get them in.

Let me go see that they're picked...

and I'll come back a few days later, okay?

If this was your first offense,

how come they put you away?

See, this guy came to trial with

a broken collarbone and a wired jaw...

and some friends of his

who testified that I started it.

And they said that I kicked his face in

when he was unconscious.

Of course, you did no such thing?

I've been tried for it already, okay?

You married?

I was married for four years.

My wife divorced me when I was in prison.

If I don't get those melons in this week,

I lose the whole crop.

Hey, Lieutenant, I only need a few days.

That's all that's worrying you? Melons?

I think you better get a lawyer.

He'll go to court. Court'll set bond.

If you pay it,

you can go pick all the melons you want.

Sure. I pay the bail,

and I have no money left for a crew.

And I can't pick 160 acres by myself.

You should have thought of that earlier.

Lock him up.

Okay.

Hey, buddy, you going to eat that sausage?

You ain't gonna eat it, nobody is?

Help yourself.

No, I guess not.

Take one of those cigarettes though.

- I'll pay you back later.

- Hey.

Want a smoke?

Yeah. It's all right. I got one.

Hey, don't you know who that is?

He's a TV star.

Man, that's Frank Renda.

Yeah, I saw him play the accordion on TV.

I said, Frank Renda.

He's a hit man.

You know what I'm saying?

He shoots people with a gun.

And you ask him

is he gonna eat his sausage.

Cuff Renda.

All right, let's go.

Today, Frank Renda is being taken...

to the county seat for pretrial examination

on a charge of first-degree murder.

Renda, a familiar name in organized crime...

has been arrested

nine times without a conviction.

This time, apprehended

by an off-duty police officer...

who actually witnessed the murder

outside a local bar.

It would appear Renda's luck

has finally run out.

Hey, hey, come on.

What the hell?

This is Ron Malone with On The Spot News

coming to you from Edna, Colorado.

Now he's a TV star.

The keys for the handcuffs!

The keys! Move!

Just see if he's got them.

Hey, he's hurt pretty bad.

If we don't get him out of here,

he's gonna bleed to death.
