County Line Page #3

---

get on over here!

A little cheese you was all

yelling about just a minute ago.

That doesn't need to go in.

Hi, dad.

Hey kid.

You look different.

You look more

beautiful every day,

just like your mother.

Welcome home.

Oh, mom would've loved that.

Yeah, well...

she probably would.

It just stopped all of a sudden.

Hmm.

Have a seat, fellas.

We don't know where

our brother's at.

Just wastin' your time.

Oh, I'll find your brother.

Don't you worry about that.

What's that?

It's nothin'.

Nothing?

It's nothin'.

You tattoo something

like that on your neck,

it's gonna be there the rest

of your life and it's nothing?

Well that nothing's popping

up all over the county

like mushrooms under a cow pie.

I guess that's just

a coincidence.

You know, my father was a judge.

And my mother was a lawyer.

They met right here

in this courtroom.

And like all dads, mine wanted

me to be just like him.

Noble, prestigious, honored.

The end all, be all

of the system.

Your last stop before

the end of the line.

All rise, for the

honorable Clint Thorne.

Now of course, my mama...

she wanted me to be a lawyer.

Intelligent, handsome.

A man of speech,

a convincer of truth.

A debater against evil.

Plus, she thought I

looked good in a suit.

What's that got to do with us?

See, I like to look

at a man's job as an

ornate frame of who he is.

But now, his hobbies,

what he likes to do.

Now that's a picture

of who he becomes.

Now take my daddy for example.

He liked to golf,

played nine holes

every day of his life

till the day he died.

And my mama...

she liked to read.

A novel a week.

And she kept a journal of

every book she ever read.

Isn't that amazing?

Now me.

What do I like?

I hunt.

I track.

I chase.

Anything that's in

season, I'm there.

Just waiting for it

to cross my path.

And when it does,

it doesn't get away.

And I never quit.

Now you boys are

gonna see the judge

and you're gonna need a lawyer.

But before you do,

I'm gonna find out

what's going on in this county.

And if I do...

and it's not because of

something you tell me today...

Oh...

By the time you put your

left hands on that good book,

you're gonna be

looking at prison

like it's a country club.

Now, I'm gonna ask you

boys one more time.

What is that?

What do you think?

I think we got a

whole new breed of trouble.

Yeah, we sure do.

We got the whole ball of wax...

Blackmail, corruption.

We're gonna have to put

surveillance in every place

that's got these symbols on 'em.

Yes, sir.

Every available man.

Who do you think is

behind all this?

Yeah.

But I can guarantee you,

whoever it is didn't expect

that idiot to put these
