Introducing 'The Usual Suspects' Page #3

---

- Any survivors?

- Yeah, two.

One guy's in county hospital,

but he's in a coma.

The DA has a second guy,

a cripple from New York, I think.

The chief wants this place sealed off.

If you have any questions, give him a call.

This is Dave Kujan.

I'll be in Los Angeles until Tuesday.

If you need to reach me, call Jeff Rabin

of the San Pedro PD on extension 112.

Have a nice day.

- Why can't I see him?

- Dave, I told you.

The DA came last night ready to arraign

even before they moved him to county.

Kint's lawyer shows up five minutes later,

DA comes out the office looking like

he'd been smacked around.

They take his statement

and they cut him a deal.

- Did they charge him with anything?

- Yeah, weapons. Misdemeanour two.

What is that?

Listen, I give the DA credit

for getting that much. Understand?

Excuse me, sir.

This whole thing has turned political.

The mayor was here last night. The chief.

This morning the governor called, OK?

I'm telling you this guy is protected from

up on high by the Prince of Darkness.

- Take my word for it.

- When does he post bail?

- Two hours, tops.

- I wanna see him.

- No, Dave.

- I gotta see him.

- Dave, no! I cannot do this for you.

- You gotta. I came a long way for this.

Dave, please.

Even if I let you talk to him,

he won't talk to you.

He's paranoid. He knows the

interrogation rooms are all wired.

I quit. This won't be an interrogation.

Just a friendly chat.

- He will not go in the interrogation room.

- Someplace else.

Where?

No, no, no, no, no...

If it was a dope deal, where's the dope?

If it was a hit, who called it in?

- I'm sure you have a host of wild theories.

- They know damn well what I think.

That's crazy! Besides, the guy's got

total immunity. His story checks out.

- He doesn't know what you wanna know.

- I don't think he does. Not exactly.

But there's more to his story.

Jeffrey, look, I wanna know why

for what looks to be $91 million

worth of dope that wasn't there.

And, above all, I wanna

be sure Dean Keaton's dead.

- He's dead.

- Come on. Two hours.

Just till he makes bail.

They're all dead. I don't care how

tough a guy you say Keaton was,

nobody on that boat

could have come out alive.

- Is he talking?

- He just regained consciousness.

- He spoke... not English, then he lapsed.

- Hungarian.

- Might have been.

- Most were Hungarians.

- You gotta put on one of these.

- Burn victims are susceptible to infection.

And, of course, there's no smoking.

Keep your mask up.

Please don't touch him.

- Is he gonna die?

- He has burns over 60% of his body.

- A number of ribs are broken.

- Call Security. Put a man on the door.

- Is he dangerous?
