Three grand?

I put this whole thing together.

I stand to make ten times this

Be good to her,

and she'll be good to you.

What can i do for you, young man?

I believe my father's

being held here.

Who's your father?

- William mccabe.

- No sh*t?

Yes, sir.

Listen, kid.

I saw your father play with

the dodgers back in '56.

No matter what else people say

about him good or bad,

your old man was the greatest

short stop that ever lived.

- Can i see him?

- No.

Why not?

He had a stroke in his holding cell.

They took him to the hospital.

Coffee.

- What's wrong with you?

- Leave me alone.

Oh, they caught your father,

finally after 23 years.

What?

Look it's in all the papers.

- Big deal.

- It is a big deal.

Says right here he's responsible

for that bombing.

- Bombing? What bombing?

- His dad, 23 years ago

he lobbed a bomb in the front

door of the pentagon.

- That hasn't been proven yet.

- He got away with it.

That's your dad, william mccabe,

the radical shortstop?

- What about my coffee?

- The man is a hero.

My father's a crazy old man.

Says here 7 people were killed

and he's responsible.

S'pose you believe everything

you read, right?

Drop dead.

Here. This ought to hold you

for a good long while.

- I got married.

- Oh, yeah? To who?

Him.

- How's the kid?

- Okay.

That money's for him.

Don't take your bad

conscience on me, bill.

- Hey. What are you doing in town?

- Working.

- You hear about dad?

- Yeah.

He's in the hospital.

Can i help you?

Yeah, we're here to see

about a patient, william mccabe.

- Are you his family?

- I guess so.

- He's our father.

- Is he okay?

I think your father's

a wonderful man.

I don't care what the newspapers

say about him.

Go back to your station, louise.

He wouldn't have blown up that building

if he knew those people were in there.

- He's a great man, falsely accused!

- Louise!

- Look lady, can we see him or what?

- No, you can't.

- Why not?

- Because he's gone.

Gone where?

He's escaped.

Mom, what's going on?

I'm leaving, dennis.

I'm going to florida.

I'm afraid your father might show up

and i just don't want to ever see him again.

- What are you doing in town, bill?

- Got anything to eat?

Have you seen mary?

I'm taking this bottle of scotch.

She lets that child run wild

in the streets you know.

Mom, do you know

where he might go?

- Who?

- Dad.

Keep an eye on dennis.

Don't let him do anything stupid.

Look, take this.

Where'd you get that?

Never mind where i got it.

Will you just take it? You'll need it.

Is this dirty money?
