The Client Page #3

- Why? Because I'm a cop.

It's my job to ask questions.

Besides, your story's full of holes.

I believe you were in that car

before Clifford died.

What does "indigent" mean?

Indigent?

It means " poor. "

Like you and your mother

and your little brother.

So tell the truth...

...hope this snaps him out of it.

Otherwise...

...he could lie in some...

...institution for dirt-poor

crazy people...

...with padded walls...

...and cockroaches...

...chained to some...

...filthy bed, with snakes...

I'm Karen.

Come with me.

- We'll have to watch him.

- What will you do?

We'll just watch for now.

Sometimes a night's sleep...

...and the next morning they wake up.

- His reflexes seem to be good.

- That's good.

Ricky's real sick.

What's wrong?

Post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Sometimes people see

something they can't deal with.

I'm always telling Mark...

..." No horror movies.

No scary comics. "

Not for Ricky.

He's always been tender that way.

Easy, now.

You try to protect them,

but it's so bad out there.

Why don't you get some rest?

Just lie down and rest.

There's nothing more you can do.

We'll watch him.

You've had a rough day.

Just lie down. Stay with him.

Bad injury. What happened?

Car wreck. Got hit by a truck.

Nut ran a stop sign.

My name's Gill Beale. I'm a lawyer.

You got a problem, I can fix it.

I specialize in car wrecks.

Now, let's see what you got here.

- Broken leg, concussion, broken ribs-

- And a broken collarbone.

Great.

I can get you $600,000.

We'll file suit tomorrow.

Did I say 6? Six is just for starters.

Check me out.

Call up Gill Beale, he's for real.

More lawyers around this place

than there are doctors.

Don't be that way.

I'll outrun that little buggy of yours.

Wait till you get a load of this guy.

Mr. Foltrigg, Jason McThune, FBI.

Welcome to Memphis...

...home of the King.

What do you know?

Kid's name is Mark Sway.

He said that he and his brother just

stumbled on the body in the woods.

- Then called the cops. He's lying.

- Why?

We got a set of his fingerprints. They

match prints that were inside the car.

He was in that car with Clifford

before he died, for quite a while.

There's a lot of prints.

- Why would he lie?

- He's scared.

And he's a kid. They always lie.

And maybe Romey Clifford told him

something he knows he shouldn't know.

People hate to die with secrets.

That's good work.

Thank you very much.

I'm going to keep it up, believe me.

Listen...

...I'm sick of chasing Elvis sightings.

Is there any room on your staff?

- Where do you want to go?

- Anywhere.

Do something with your hair first.

Meantime, I want to talk to Mark.

Right away, sir.

Dr. Greenway wants to see you.
