The Client Page #4

How old are you?

Are you married?

Sometimes.

I don't know nothing,

but he looks better to me.

He'll be fine if we get him home

in his own bed.

I don't know why you just can't...

...give him some medicine or something.

- I have to go to work.

- Mrs. Sway, listen to me.

Our trailer rents by the week.

Listen to me.

Right now, it's as if Ricky

is in a dark place...

...and trying to find a way out.

What's important...

...what's very important is that

when he finds that way out...

...the first thing he sees is your face.

Let's hope it'll only takes a few days.

There goes another job.

Must be setting some kind of record.

- I'll call your boss. He'll understand.

- My boss runs a sweatshop.

He will not send flowers.

He will not understand.

You could take shifts.

Perhaps the father could come.

Ex-father!

And you keep him away from Ricky!

Hush!

Okay, mom. I'm sorry.

I don't know if you've seen this,

but there are policemen downstairs...

...and reporters and...

...the FBI is coming to see Mark.

I don't want to talk to them. I'll wind

up like Ricky if they don't let me be!

They won't go away.

Look, I don't give a flying sh*t

about the FBI!

You are getting on my last nerve.

Now sit down...

...and hush up!

I don't know what to do.

- Can I see you outside?

- I'm going crazy.

Tell me to wait for my boy to...

Or some crap.

This boy!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

I'll think of something

to get us out of this, I promise.

You and Ricky just found

that guy dead...

...right?

There's nothing you ain't telling me,

is there?

Dr. Greenway wants

to start you on Valium.

Those cost extra?

Don't worry about it. Just take these.

- Both of them?

- Yes.

You'll feel better.

Don't go far.

FBl, huh?

I hear that they' re sending

the Reverend Roy Foltrigg himself.

That's bad. That's...

You know...

...that the FBI...

...puts kids in jail

if they break the law?

And if a kid has been

involved in a murder...

...they got a special little...

...kid-size electric chair.

I saw it once.

It was about... so high.

When somebody gets electrocuted,

the current is so strong...

...it makes the blood in the veins boil.

Fries you like a piece of bacon.

You' re the only pig around here.

We'll see you later.

- Are you here to question Mark?

- I beg your pardon?

Are you here to improve

your own position regarding the case?

My real interest is to see justice done.

You all know that about me.

You ain't going in here by yourself.

What do you want, boy?

I need to see Mr. Beale.

- Where are your parents?

- Where are yours?

Are you injured?

Do I look injured?

We only do injuries.

I'll just go get hit by a truck
