# Ride on my tumbleweed #

# It's the only way

to get around... #

Thanks for your time, Carl.

Yeah.

A kid got iced in Hilliard.

Hilliard? What the f*** are

they doing way down here?

They're cops. They got nothing better

to do than waste our time.

Keith's sick today.

I can't f***ing do this right now.

Cross your fingers

for door number two though.

She's a fox.

- Later.

- Mm-hmm.

Have a seat.

Okay. Name, please.

Dennis Burrows.

I'm Detective Cordin

from the Hilliard Township Police.

I guess you know

why I'm here.

Some kid was killed?

That's right.

A boy was murdered

the night of October 6th...

it was a Monday night...

during a robbery of his home.

You don't have any suspects

in your own town?

I'm talking to guys

who work construction up there,

trying to account for their

whereabouts that night, if possible.

Whereabouts?

Yeah.

Hmm, I can't really remember.

I was probably hanging out

with some of the guys on the crew.

I was staying

at Motel 6 on Route 80.

Anything more specific?

Can anyone vouch for that?

Not off the top of my head, no.

You know, sometimes people's

memories are pretty good

when they exercise them.

Yeah well,

I'm on the road a lot.

It's hard to exercise

when you work for a living.

You got me?

I think so.

Excuse me one second.

Oh, you can have a seat.

I'll be right back.

- I'm not done yet?

- Not yet.

But my kid's sick.

I gotta get home. He's by himself.

It shouldn't be much longer.

Mr. Burrows,

this is Detective Spencer

from the Meskada County

Sheriff's Office.

I hate to bring this up,

but you were arrested in 1998

for grand larceny

in Hatherton.

Yeah, and that case was thrown out

'cause it was f***ing stupid.

Yeah, I got sold a hot car. So what?

I have an alibi.

You're a f***ing cop.

Why don't you look at the court record?

- I will.

- Good.

County Sheriff, huh?

Could you get me

a glass of water?

Mr. Burrows, one more time,

can you remember

where you were

the night of October 6th?

No.

So my report is gonna be

about Bart Simpson.

Sweetie, you can't do it

on a TV character.

Mrs. Danson said it's okay.

Come on, buddy.

Your mom worked all day

and made this nice food.

Stop playing with it.

Ow.

- You got a pain?

- Yeah.

Hey.

Jesus. Where were you?

A lady's paying

to clear out a house on the 527.

You went with Eddie?

No, I couldn't find him.

I hitched.

- You playing cards tonight?

- Yeah.

Do your homework first.

How much does it pay?

How long is the job for?

L... I don't know, Dennis.

Chris said you never made it

to the lake yesterday.

Yeah, got held up

by the goddamn cops.

Cops?

Yeah, there were cops

from Hilliard here.
