- Here, sit down.

Can we leave leave?

Just stay here.

You gotta get away from your mom.

Can you at least just tell me a story

like the ones you tell Jerry Lee?

Yeah.

What do you want it to be about?

Maybe it could be you

and me on an island...

in the Pacific Ocean.

With the sun.

And we could go

swimming all day long.

And sleep on the beach.

I'm Officer Cook,

this is Officer Mori.

We'd like to ask you a few

questions, okay?

What kind of car do you

drive, Mr. Flannigan?

It's a Chevy Caprice.

- Where is your car?

- It was stolen.

Why didn't you report it?

It's a real piece of sh*t.

It's been stolen a

few times before.

Uh, we found your car, Mr. Flannigan.

It was burned and abandoned.

Where was the car stolen from?

Uh, The Sands... Sands parking lot.

I leave it there all the time.

I live down... Rancho Sierra,

it's just right down the street.

Are you aware that someone

might have been killed...

by an old beat-up car like

yours in a hit-and-run?

- No.

- A nurse getting off work...

reported seeing a brown and grey

station wagon parked right outside.

She said she saw someone moving

something out of the car

- right where the body was found.

- What color's your car?

It's brown and grey.

Whoever stole it probably

did that, right?

Why are you in the

hospital, Mr. Flannigan?

- My leg...

- What happened to your leg?

Please, I'm just tired,

I've had enough, okay?

Can you just leave me alone,

just for a little bit?

Doesn't look like

you're going anywhere.

We have your room number

at the Rancho Sierra.

We'll be back to see you soon.

F***, Frank. What are we gonna do?

We're not gonna do anything.

They don't know sh*t.

They already know, I can tell.

- They already know.

- No they don't. Okay?

Thy don't know anything for sure.

They will, they'll find out. You know that.

You gotta get me outta here, now.

No. Okay, you gotta stay

here until you get better.

I'm gonna go crazy if they come back.

Just get me outta here, Frank.

What are you doing

with a Winchester?

- What's he got there?

- His dad's rifle.

What is it?

It's a custom gold-plated

Winchester 1894...

and I don't think this

thing's ever been fired.

My brother and I never shot it.

My mom said my dad got it on

one of his lucky streaks.

I think he got it just

before he took off.

Who'd he win it from?

I'm not sure.

I looked it up before.

It ain't on any stolen list

that I've come across.

- What're you gonna do with it?

- I was hoping you could buy it.

I don't think I can give you the

kind of money this thing is worth.

You should put a ad

up on Gun Trader,

or wait until the next

gun show in March.

I'm in a spot.

All I could give you is 400. And
