talk to emmett or the bookkeeper.

They'll give you the money

to pay for them.

I'll do what i can.

What we've got right

now, we've got no chance.

Believe me, ron...

no chance at all.

lprivate/l detectives!

We have to hire a couple

of private detectives.

So you hire a couple

of private detectives.

Tell you what i'll do.

I'll give you

a couple of names.

Ha ha ha!

Hey...

hey.

Hey, why didn't you hire

private detectives?

I tried.

I just couldn't

find anybody.

You want to run that

by me again?

Hmm?

Hey. What's the matter?

Nothing.

I'm just discouraged, that's all,

and i'm

frightened, ron.

Hey.

What does that mean?

Please...

what's happening here?

Come on.

What's wrong?

I did all i could.

You'll have to

believe me, ron.

I did all i could.

Susan.

Feeling better?

Private detectives

turned up nothing...

not a shred

of evidence

to substantiate

your story.

Ron, we have to decide

ltoday/l how we plead.

Susan?

Susan!

This isn't

an ordinary crime, ron.

You killed

a police officer.

Sheriff morello is pressing for a

quick trial and first-degree murder.

Now, in view of your

war record, i don't know,

but i might be able

to accept a lesser plea

and get you off

with a 2-to-10.

It was self-defense.

Don't you understand

that it was self-defense?

I'm not going to plead guilty

to something i didn't do.

They lwant/l you

to fight them.

Go ahead.

Egg them on.

They'll nail you to the

cross... life without clemency.

Make your own choice.

Look, i'll fight them

to the last ditch.

I'm innocent.

I'm not a cop-out.

Go find the evidence.

Yeah.

You go ahead.

You fight them.

I can't do you

any good, lewis.

I'd like to withdraw

from the case.

For christ's sake, be...

let me talk to you,

at least?

I've been

in enough poker games

to know when i'm

up against a cold deck.

Talk to your prosecutor.

See what kind of deal

you can come up with.

Damn it! Why me?

Ney, goddamn it, why me?

Take your clothes off

and throw them over here.

Now, what have we got here...

another victim of society?

Killed a deputy sheriff.

Uh-oh.

That's a no-no.

171/2.

33. 36.

Vince.

Yeah, what?

Give him anything.

This bastard might not live

long enough to break them in.

You can't bury a man without shoes.

Ok. Your 3 minutes are up.

I got some busted ribs.

Do you mind?

We live by the rules

around here.

If you don't like it...

hey! What's wrong?

What's going on up there?

Ok. It's ok.

I just slipped

on the wet floor.

What the hell happened

to the mop?

Half of it's

down here.

I tripped on it.

It busted when

i fell. That's all.

I'm a little wet

but ok.

Ok. Get in.

You had your fun,
