Renegade (1992–1997): Season 4, Episode 11 - Sins of the Father - full transcript

WHY DON'T YOU PUT ON
THAT BLACK FRILLY THING

I GOT YOU FOR VALENTINE'S?

OH, YOU MEAN
THE JUMP-ME HOOKER OUTFIT

WITH THE
SKYSCRAPER PUMPS?

I GUESS I SHOULD TAKE THAT
TO MEAN NO, HUH?

OH, PLEASE. IT'S
BEEN A HELLISH DAY.

DONNY GETS OUT TOMORROW.

WHAT PAIN IS
THAT ADVENTURE

GOING TO CAUSE US?

WELL, MAYBE HE'S CHANGED.

MAYBE HE'S LEARNED HIS LESSON.



HOW MANY CONS
LEARN THEIR LESSON IN PRISON?

GOD ONLY KNOWS WHO OR WHAT'S
COMING OUT TOMORROW.

WE FAILED
WITH THAT BOY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BAD
WE SCREWED HIM UP.

( sighs )

I REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS BORN,
THINKING HE WAS GOING

TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL.

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT HE
AND I, WELL, WE'D...

WOULD YOU TURN OUT
THE LIGHT, PLEASE?

THOUGHT HE'D BE
A FOOTBALL PLAYER

OR A BASEBALL PLAYER.

I'D GO TO HIS GAMES
AND WATCH HIM PLAY.

YOU NEVER WATCHED
HIM DO ANYTHING.

YOU WERE ALWAYS TOO DAMN BUSY.



YOU DIDN'T EVEN GO
TO HIS FIRST GRADE PLAY.

HE CRIED WHEN YOU DIDN'T SHOW.

FOR GOD'S SAKE,
MELISSA

I WAS WORKING UNIFORM.

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO TELL
MY SUPERVISOR, HUH?

"WHILE PEOPLE
ARE BEING STABBED ON MY BEAT

"I GOT TO GO TO FIRST GRADE PLAY

ABOUT A TALKING
VEGETABLE GARDEN"?

YOU WEREN'T THERE.

WHERE THE HELL
WERE YOU ANYWAY?

AS I RECALL,
YOU WERE OUT WORKING

THE COMMERCIAL
REAL ESTATE MARKET

WITH BINGO BOB AND CARL.

YOU WEREN'T THERE, DONALD

AND YOU WEREN'T
AT A LOT OF THINGS.

HE GREW UP HATING
YOU, HATING US BOTH.

I WAS OUT TRYING
TO MAKE A PLACE FOR US.

TURN OUT THE LIGHT.

JUST BECAUSE
I DIDN'T MAKE

A PLAY AND A COUPLE
OF SCHOOL EVENTS

THAT DOESN'T MEAN
I DIDN'T LOVE HIM.

YOU CAN'T IGNORE A KID

AND THEN WHEN HE SETS FIRE
TO YOUR CLOTHES

START GIVING HIM EVERYTHING
JUST SO HE WON'T DO IT AGAIN.

HE'S GOT NO VALUES.

HE DIDN'T SET FIRE
TO MY CLOTHES, OKAY?

THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

HE AND SOME FRIENDS
WERE SMOKING IN THE POOL HOUSE

AND THE CLEANER'S
CELLOPHANE BAGS CAUGHT FIRE.

TURN OUT THE LIGHT.

OH, AND IF YOU'RE
GOING TO GO DOWNSTAIRS

AND PLAY THOSE DAMN VIDEOS
ALL NIGHT LONG AGAIN

WOULD YOU KEEP
THE VOLUME DOWN?

THE SOUND COMES RIGHT UP
THROUGH THE FLOOR.

( chuckling ):
DONNY...

YEAH, I'LL GET SOME INFORMATION
AND SELL MY OLD MAN TO YOU.

DUTCH IS DIRTIER
THAN A PARK TOILET.

Donny

I NEED SOMETHING THAT'S GOING
TO GET RENO RAINES OFF THE HOOK.

A HUNDRED GRAND
WITH TEN GRAND UP FRONT

WILL GET DUTCH OFF THE ROAD

AND IT'S 200 GRAND IF I GET
INFORMATION THAT CLEARS RAINES.

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOU
OR YOUR FATHER HAVE MUCH GOING.

OH, WE HAVE A BALL.

WE HAVE MORE BODY-SLAMS THAN
WORLD FEDERATION WRESTLING.

BRING THE MONEY
TOMORROW MORNING.

I GET OUT AT 10:00 A.M.

HE WAS A COP
AND GOOD AT HIS JOB

BUT HE COMMITTED
THE ULTIMATE SIN

AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--

COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM

BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.

FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS

AN OUTLAW HUNTING OUTLAWS

A BOUNTY HUNTER

A RENEGADE.

Bobby:
HEY, DONNY--
OVER HERE, MAN.

CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU'RE A FREE MAN.

HEY-- WAIT A MINUTE.
THE HUMMER'S OVER HERE.

HEY! WHAT'S THE DEAL?

HEY! DONNY!

DONNY?

HEY!

MY CAR'S
RIGHT OVER HERE.

TAKE A HIKE, COCHISE.

WHAT? I BROUGHT THE MONEY,
JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

WE DON'T HAVE A DEAL ANYMORE.
IT'S OVER.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?

LOOK, I CHANGED
MY MIND.

I'M NOT GOING TO TURN MY DAD
OVER TO SOME GUY WEARING

THOSE EARRINGS.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT WEREN'T
YOU GOING TO TELL ME?

I OFFERED DONNY
DIXON $100,000

FOR INFORMATION TO PUT
HIS DAD AWAY IN PRISON--

$200,000 FOR INFORMATION
THAT WOULD CLEAR YOUR NAME.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT, BOBBY.

I DON'T WANT YOU
COMMITTING CRIMES

OR SPENDING
THAT KIND OF MONEY.

I'M NOT COMMITTING
ANY CRIMES.

I MADE AN OFFER TO BUY
SOME INFORMATION

FROM A SOURCE--
THAT'S ALL.

YOU WERE SETTING UP
AN ILLEGAL SEARCH
ASSISTING A FELON.

DONNY LEFT IN A LIMO.

OFF THE LICENSE PLATE,
I GOT AN ADDRESS.

THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED
TO A LOCAL ROCK CLUB

CALLED CHINA WHITE.

I LOVE THAT.

YEAH, ME TOO.

SO WHAT'S LITTLE
DONNY DIXON DOING

GETTING PICKED UP
OUT OF PRISON

IN A WHITE LIMOUSINE

THAT'S OWNED BY A ROCK CLUB
NAMED AFTER ASIAN HEROIN?

I DON'T KNOW.
THE KID'S A WRONG NUMBER.

A WRONG NUMBER
THAT WAS WILLING

TO SELL ME HIS
FATHER YESTERDAY

AND TODAY, HE'S NOT--
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

HE'S GOT A BETTER BUYER.

EXACTLY.

MAYBE I NEED TO FIND OUT WHO.

( laughter )

EXCUSE ME.

I'M LOOKING

FOR WORK AS A BARTENDER.

YOU GUYS WOULDN'T HAVE
AN APPLICATION, WOULD YOU?

DON'T EVEN BOTHER, JOE-BOB.

WE GOT 200 APS

IN THE DRAWER
ALREADY.

UM... TRY THE MARKET.

THEY GOT A SIGN UP
LOOKING FOR BAG BOYS

AND... YOU'D BE
PERFECT FOR THAT.

I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A JOB,
FRIEND.

YOU NEED TO WORK ON GETTING
A LITTLE FRIENDLIER ATTITUDE.

WHY'S THAT?

'CAUSE YOU'RE TALKING

TO A PILE OF TROUBLE.

YOU'RE SCARING ME
TO DEATH, TARZAN...

AND WE DON'T NEED
A BOUNCER, EITHER

IF THAT'S WHERE THIS
IS LEADING, SO BEAT IT

OR YOU'LL GET

A LITTLE NINE-MILLIMETER HELP.

I'LL CHECK YOU LATER.

( raspberry )

( all laughing )

These guys had enough prison art
tattooed on their arms

TO QUALIFY FOR AN N.E.A. GRANT.

It sounds like you and I better

FIND OUT WHO OWNS THIS CLUB.

THE LIQUOR LICENSE ABOVE THE BAR

WAS MADE OUT TO A MAN
NAMED ROBERT McKENNA.

I'LL LOOK IT UP.

Listen, I need you here tonight
when the place opens.

YOU KNOW THE DRILL--
DRESS FOR STRESS.

Donny:
THANKS, BUD. KEEP THE CHANGE.

HELLO..?

ANYBODY HOME?

( playing "Onward
Christian Soldiers" on piano)

MOM...

DAD, HI.

HI.

DON, I...

SHE WAS-- WE WERE...
I WOULD HAVE...

IF YOU WERE GOING
TO APOLOGIZE

FOR NOT MEETING ME AT
THE PRISON GATE, DON'T.

IT WAS BAD ENOUGH I WAS
IN THERE TO BEGIN WITH.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO
WATCH ME GET OUT.

I CAN IMAGINE HOW
HUMILIATING THAT MUST BE.

WELL, WE WERE GOING
TO COME, DON.

IT'S JUST THAT...

YOUR FATHER HAD
A COURT APPEARANCE

AND I HAD TO SHOW
A HOUSE IN SUMMERHILL.

LISTEN, YOU GUYS...

IT'S OKAY.

I'M NEVER ALONE.

I HAVE MY SAVIOR WITH ME
ALL THE TIME.

WHO?

JESUS.

JESUS WALKS WITH ME
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.

I FOUND HIM
IN PRISON

AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE
HOW HE COMFORTS ME...

HOW HE MAKES ME WHOLE.

OKAY, YEAH...

"I WILL NOT SUFFER
THE ANGER OF THE LORD

NOR WILL I FOLLOW A MULTITUDE
TO DO EVIL."

EXODUS 23:2.

( chuckling ):
OH... EXODUS.

I KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN
AND HOW MUCH ANGUISH

I HAVE CAUSED YOU,
AND I AM GOING

TO DO EVERYTHING
IN MY POWER

TO MAKE THAT RIGHT.

I HAVE DECIDED THAT
I AM GOING TO BE THE SON

THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE.

I KNOW I DON'T
DESERVE THIS

BUT, MOM, DAD...

( voice cracking ):
COULD I... COULD I GIVE
EACH OF YOU A HUG?

I KNOW, I KNOW--
IT'S AMAZING, ISN'T IT?

I MEAN, I'M AMAZED

BUT WHEN I WENT TO BIBLE CLASS

AND THE WHITE LIGHT

OF THE LORD
JUST-JUST...

FELL UPON ME...

PRISON BIBLE CLASS--
THAT'S A PAROLE BOARD HUSTLE.

I KNOW. I MEAN,
THAT'S WHY I WENT

TO BEGIN WITH.

I WAS GOING TO DO
THIS WHOLE JESUS DANCE

FOR THE PAROLE BOARD, BUT WHEN
I GOT THERE, I FOUND SUCH...

STRENGTH?

THAT'S WHAT

I GOT WHEN I WENT TO CHURCH.

THAT'S IT EXACTLY, MOM:
STRENGTH.

DON'T YOU THINK, DAD?

UH... YEAH. COULD BE...
MAYBE, YOU KNOW.

LISTEN, UH, WHEN
I WAS WALKING UP

I NOTICED THAT THE HEDGE
COULD USE A LITTLE TRIMMING.

DO YOU MIND IF I GOT THE SHEARS
AND CUT IT BACK A LITTLE?

I THINK IT'LL LOOK BETTER.

LOOK, DON, I HAVE A MEETING
WITH SOME FIELD U.C.s

AND I CAN'T HELP...

OH, THAT'S OKAY.

I AM SORT OF HOPING, THOUGH

THAT YOU'LL LET ME
HAVE MY OLD ROOM BACK.

I WON'T ASK TO
BORROW THE CAR

OR TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF ANYTHING.

I'LL GET A JOB.

I'LL PITCH IN
FOR THE GROCERIES.

WELL, DON, WE
TURNED YOUR ROOM

INTO AN UPSTAIRS
STUDY, AND...

WELL, WE CLEARED
OUT YOUR THINGS.

THAT'S OKAY.

"WHEN I WAS A CHILD,
I SPOKE AS A CHILD.

BUT NOW THAT I AM A MAN,
I PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS."

CORINTHIANS.

I'LL JUST GO PUT
MY BAG DOWN.

EXCUSE ME.

HAPPY SON OF A BITCH.

GET OUT OF THE CAR!

COME ON!

GET YOUR BUTT OVER
HERE WHERE I CAN...

GIVE ME THE DINERO!
COME ON, AMIGO!

( groaning )

( screaming )

BEAT IT, HAIR BALL.

YOU OKAY, MISTER?

YEAH. I'M FINE.

THAT JUNKIE TRIED
TO JACK MY CAR

IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY?

SHOULD I CALL PARAMEDICS?

NO, NO. DON'T CALL ANY COPS.

OKAY.

HEY, LET ME BUY YOU A DRINK.

I MEAN, YOU COULD HAVE
SAVED MY LIFE HERE.

WELL, LISTEN, UH...
THAT'S OKAY.

I'M JOB-HUNTING, ANYWAY.

I THINK I'D HAVE BETTER LUCK
IF I STAYED SOBER.

YOU LOOKING FOR WORK
IN THIS PLACE?

I TALKED TO SOME GUYS

THAT SAID THE MANAGER
WASN'T AROUND.

OH, HE'S AROUND NOW.

I'M THE OWNER--

BOB "WIDE LOAD" McKENNA.

NO KIDDIN'. HOW ABOUT THAT?

YEAH, HOW ABOUT THAT?

WHAT KIND OF WORK
YOU LOOKING FOR?

BARTENDER.

I'M AFRAID THE BARTENDERS

ARE ALL BABES WITH
LITTLE LACE TOPS.

YOU'LL COME IN
A POOR SECOND.

HOW ABOUT PARKING CARS?

I COULD FIT YOU IN THERE

UNTIL SOMETHING
ELSE SHOWS UP.

THAT'S OKAY,
I'LL KEEP LOOKING.

NO, NO. COME ON.

I OWE YOU.

YOU HANDLED YOURSELF
REAL GOOD OUT THERE.

MAYBE I COULD USE
SOMEONE BEHIND THE STICK

TO HELP OUT IN A BRAWL.

YOU'RE A GOOD-LOOKING KID.

IT'D GIVE THE GIRLS
IN THE CLUB

SOMETHING TO PANT OVER.

NOW, LOOK, UH...

WE TRY IT TONIGHT.

IF I LIKE HOW YOU
HANDLE YOURSELF

THE JOB IS YOURS.

WHAT WAS YOUR NAME?

VINCE BLACK.

100 A NIGHT AND YOU
SPLIT TIPS WITH THE
BOUNCERS, VINCE.

I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR
THOSE LITTLE SPEEDOS

DO I?

( laughing ):
NO, NO.

IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA, THOUGH.

HEY.

"HEY"?

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO HIT ME
THAT HARD, YOU KNOW?

DO YOU REALIZE I GOT
A CHARLEY HORSE IN MY CHEST?

WELL, IT HAD THE DESIRED
EFFECT, DID IT NOT?

YEAH, WELL,
THE NEXT TIME

I GET TO SAVE THE BAD GUYS.

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

THE CHINA WHITE CLUB
IS A DRUG CONNECTION JOINT.

HALF THE KIDS IN THERE
ARE ZOOTED TO THE LIMIT.

THE BODYGUARDS ARE ALL
DOING 'ROIDS IN THE CAN.

YEAH, WELL, THAT FIGURES.

I GOT AN N.C.I.C. REPORT BACK
ON BOB "WIDE LOAD" McKENNA.

GOOD CALL OF YOURS

BECAUSE NOT ONLY
DOES HE OWN THAT CLUB

BUT SIX OR SEVEN OTHERS.

AND GUESS WHAT?
HE USED TO BE A COP

UNTIL HE GOT THROWN OFF
THE FORCE BY HIS PARTNER

FOR EXTORTION AND ARMED ROBBERY.

DID HE DO ANY TIME?

ATASCADERO. FIVE YEARS.

THE PARTNER WHO TURNED HIM IN
ROSE QUICKLY IN THE RANKS

TO BECOME THE POSTER BOY
FOR CLEAN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

ANYBODY WE KNOW?

McKENNA'S EX-PARTNER...

YOUR FRIEND
AND MINE...

DONALD "DUTCH" DIXON.

( rock music playing )

TWO STINGERS, SALTY DOG,
SEAGRAMS UP, SCOTCH ICE

AND TWO HEINEKENS.

THERE YOU GO.

( yells )

( woman screaming )

ALL RIGHT, WHO'S NEXT?!

ME.

OKAY, FOLKS, IT'S ALL OVER.
THE FIGHT'S OVER.

GET BACK TO YOUR TABLES.

ENJOY THE DANCE.

JUST WATCH YOUR STEP.

IT'S ALL OVER.

GO BACK TO YOUR TABLES.

MR. McKENNA WANTS
TO SEE YOU.

CLEAN UP THIS MESS.

SORRY, SIR,
THAT GOT OUT OF CONTROL

BEFORE I SAW IT.

GUY REALLY KNOWS

HOW TO PUT THE MEAT LOAF
UP ON THE WALLPAPER

DOESN'T HE?

THANKS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK,
MR. BLACK?

NO. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK YOU'RE
A WASTED RESOURCE.

I THINK THAT MAYBE

WE SHOULD GET TO KNOW EACH
OTHER A LITTLE BETTER.

IT'S OKAY WITH ME.

I'M HAVING THIS LITTLE PARTY
AT MY HOUSE--

A POOL PARTY-- TOMORROW,
STARTS ABOUT 2:00.

I'LL BE THERE, SIR.

YEAH.

THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING
TO CHURCH.

I JUST WANTED
TO TAKE CARE OF THIS FIRST.

YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T WANT
TO TAKE IT TOO FAR BACK

BECAUSE... WELL,
IT'S PAST SPRING

AND I DIDN'T WANT IT
TO LOOK ALL BROWN AND STICKY

FOR A WHOLE MONTH.

WHAT'S GOING ON, DON?

I JUST WANT

TO MAKE THINGS UP
TO YOU AND MOM.

YOU'RE NOT SEEING THIS JESUS
THING A HUNDRED TIMES.

GUY GOES TO PRISON.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW,

HE'S SLEEPING
WITH THE BIBLE

HE'S QUOTING
SCRIPTURES

IT'S ALWAYS JUST A SHOW
FOR THE PAROLE BOARD.

BUT I MADE PAROLE, DAD.

PAROLE BOARD LET ME GO.

AND YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE THEY COULD SEE
BEHIND THE CURTAIN

TO MY FAITH.

WHY ELSE WOULD I DO THIS
UNLESS I WAS SINCERE?

WHAT WOULD I HAVE TO GAIN?

YOU KNOW, UH...

IF YOU TRIM THIS
BACK HERE, DONNY

YOU'LL MAINTAIN
THE HEDGE LINE.

OH, RIGHT YOU ARE, DAD.

I'LL GET THAT
RIGHT AFTER CHURCH.

IF YOU WANT TO
BORROW THE CAR

YOU KNOW, MOM AND I
AREN'T USING IT

ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS ASK.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I'M GOING TO TAKE THE BUS.

I DO NOT WANT
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.

I DID THAT THE WHOLE
FIRST HALF

OF MY LIFE,
AND THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.

( laughs )

I REMEMBER WHEN YOU
WERE FIRST BORN.

JUST A COUPLE HOURS OLD,
MATERNITY WARD

LOOKING AT YOU
THROUGH THE GLASS.

YOU LOOKED UP AT ME.

FOR A MINUTE THERE,
OUR EYES LOCKED.

WE CONNECTED.

REALLY?

YOU LOOKED AT ME AND...

YOU KNEW I WAS YOUR DAD.

BOY, THAT MUST HAVE BEEN NEAT,
I BET.

I HAD... JUST BIG PLANS
FOR US, YOU KNOW.

I-I-I UNDERSTAND.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
YOU HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO

THAN PLAY BALL IN YOUR BACKYARD
WITH YOUR OWN KID.

YOU KNOW, DON,
I WANT YOU TO KNOW

I VIEW THAT AS MY FAULT.

I NEVER INVESTED

THE TIME WITH YOU
I SHOULD HAVE

AND I HAD SO MUCH GOING ON

YOU KNOW,
MY CAREER AND EVERYTHING.

I'M SORRY, DON.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED.

WELL, UH, YOU KNOW, I GOT TO GO.

I DON'T WANT TO BE LATE
FOR CHURCH.

WHAT A...

DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO THAT PARTY.

BECAUSE IF DONNY'S THERE
AND HE SPOTS YOU

YOU'VE BEEN MADE.

THAT'S NOT THE WORST
THAT CAN HAPPEN.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

IF DONNY AND McKENNA
ARE WORKING TOGETHER
TO TAKE DUTCH DOWN

YOU COULD GET CAUGHT
IN THE MIDDLE

OR DID YOU FORGET?

I AM ALREADY CAUGHT
IN THE MIDDLE

OR DID YOU FORGET?

NO, I DIDN'T FORGET.

I'M GOING. I'M GOING
TO BACK YOU UP.

YOU WANT ME TO STAY LOW?

IF DONNY SPOTS YOU,
IT'S AS BLOWN AS IF HE SPOTS ME.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE
TO DO ABOUT ANYTHING?

WHERE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING TO BE THERE.

MAN, I HATE WHEN HE DOES
THINGS LIKE THAT.

HEY, MARK.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST PARK IT
SOMEWHERE

DOWN THE STREET
AND WIPE IT DOWN.

IT'S HOT. I STOLE IT ON
FILLMORE ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

HI.

I LOVE YOU.

GET A BEER, PLEASE.

MAKING ANY PROGRESS
AT HOME?

AH... YOU START
QUOTING FROM THAT

YOU'RE GOING TO LOWER

THE TESTOSTERONE
LEVEL AROUND HERE.

IT'S MY CHILDHOOD BIBLE.

"LET NOT THY LEFT HAND KNOW

WHAT THY RIGHT HAND DOETH."

MATTHEW 6:3.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S ONE PLACE I KNOW
MY DAD'LL NEVER LOOK.

GOT SOME INTERESTING SKUNK
HERE, BOB.

YOU'VE ALSO GOT A FEW PEOPLE

YOU MIGHT WANT
TO GET RID OF.

YEAH, WHO'S THAT?

THAT GUY OVER THERE WITH
THE LONG HAIR-- THE BABE MAGNET.

HE'S VINCE BLACK.

NO, THAT IS SO NOT
VINCE BLACK.

HIS NAME IS RENO RAINES.

HE'S WANTED FOR MURDER.

YOU INVITE HOT FELONS
TO YOUR PARTY

YOU COULD GET PUT AWAY
FOR HARBOURING.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

OH, I DON'T MAKE
THOSE KIND OF MISTAKES.

( exhales loudly )

TAKES MORE THAN FIVE
MONTHS TO DO THIS.

HI.

WITHOUT MAKING PROBLEMS,
LET'S GO.

INSIDE.

SIT DOWN.

OH, I TOLD YOU WE DIDN'T
NEED ANY BARTENDERS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED.

WELL, LOOKEE HERE.

IT'S MY DAD'S OLD NEMESIS,
RENO RAINES--

FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.

WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU

THIS MUCH.

YOU GOT QUITE A SET

ON YOU, HOSS.

RENO RAINES.

SO, EITHER YOUR STORY
IS VERY, VERY GOOD

OR YOU'RE ON THE BIG BUS.

COME ON, McKENNA

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO KILL ME.

YEAH?

WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE YOU AND ME
AND LITTLE DONNY OVER THERE

WE ALL WANT
THE SAME THING.

YOUR PROBLEMS DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH US.

RAINES IS WANTED
FOR KILLING A COP

NAMED BUZZY BURRELL.

I DIDN'T KILL HIM, DONNY.

YOUR OLD MAN DID
AND FRAMED ME FOR IT.

I GUESS WE'VE ALL
GOT PROBLEMS WITH POPS.

YOURS JUST DON'T INTEREST ME.

BUT, DONNY,
MAYBE THEY INTEREST ME.

LET HIM FINISH.

SIXKILLER CAME TO YOU IN JAIL

OFFERED YOU $100,000
FOR EVIDENCE ON DUTCH.

200 IF YOU FOUND ANYTHING
THAT COULD CLEAR ME.

YEAH, AND THEN I GOT
A BETTER DEAL FROM BAD BOB HERE.

YEAH, BUT WE ALL WANT
THE SAME THING.

McKENNA WANTS DUTCH
FOR TURNING HIM IN

I WANT DUTCH
FOR FRAMING ME FOR MURDER

AND LITTLE DONNY WANTS HIM
FOR... I DON'T KNOW--

SENDING HIM TO BED WITHOUT
SUPPER OR SOME DAMN THING.

HE'S THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE.

WE ALL WANT DUTCH.

SO LET'S WORK TOGETHER.

EXCEPT I DON'T NEED YOU
TO GET DIXON.

ALL YOU ARE TO ME
IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM

THAT COULD GET ME ARRESTED
FOR JUST HANGING AROUND YOU.

LOOK, HE WANTS ME
AS BAD AS I WANT HIM.

YOU CAN USE THAT.

MAKE ME THE BAIT.

I'LL BE THE
BUTTON YOU PUSH

TO GET DIXON
WHEREVER YOU WANT HIM.

YOU MAKE A DEAL WITH HIM,
YOU'LL END UP CHOKING ON IT.

I'LL PUT THE $200,000
BACK ON THE TABLE.

YOU BRING SIXKILLER INTO IT,
WE'RE HISTORY.

SIXKILLER PLAYS

BY HIS OWN RULES.

SIXKILLER'S OUT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING
TO GET 200 GRAND?

HEY, I'M WANTED
FOR KILLING TWO PEOPLE.

THERE'S A $200,000 REWARD
FOR MY APPREHENSION.

WE NAIL DIXON,
GET THE EVIDENCE
THAT CLEARS ME

YOU GUYS GIVE THAT TO SIXKILLER.

THEN YOU TURN ME INTO THE COPS,
COLLECT THE REWARD.

SIXKILLER SHOWS UP

CLEARS ME WITH
THE EVIDENCE.

EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.

( laughing )

THAT'S NOT BAD.

I DON'T TRUST HIM.

I GOT A NEWS FLASH.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T TRUST
YOU EITHER, DONNY.

BUT HATING DUTCH IS THE GLUE

THAT'S GOING TO
HOLD US TOGETHER.

YOU'RE IN, RAINES.

AH, A PLEASURE TO
SEE YOU, MR. DIXON.

MADAME DIXON IS
ON THE TERRACE.

THANK YOU, MAURICE.

MEET OUR SON, DONNY.

NICE TO SEE YOU,
YOUNG MR. DIXON.

JESUS LOVES YOU, MAURICE.

GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU.

THANK YOU.

HI, MOM.

HI, SWEETHEART.

OH, YOU LOOK SO NICE.

THANK YOU.

I'LL HAVE THE
CHENIN BLANC.

THANK YOU.

WHEN MAURICE GETS HOME

DOES HIS WIFE
CALLS HIM MORRIS?

WELL, ACTUALLY, DON

HE'S FROM THE LOIRE
VALLEY IN FRANCE.

HIS PARENTS
WERE VINTNERS.

HE'S QUITE A
REMARKABLE PERSON.

OH.

SORRY. GOT IT.

This is really..

really quite a place,
quite a club

very exclusive.

YOU KNOW, THIS
WIRE WORKS GREAT.

...BUT I AM THINKING
OF STARTING A BUSINESS.

SO, WHO KNOWS?
MAYBE SOMEDAY

I'LL BE ABLE TO JOIN
A PLACE LIKE THIS.

VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU, MAURICE.

WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS THINKING

MAYBE RELIGIOUS APPAREL
OR RELIGIOUS BOOKS.

WHAT KIND OF
A DISTRIBUTION

OR A MARKUP CAN
YOU GET ON THAT?

DAD, THE IDEA

ISN'T TO MAKE
SCADS OF MONEY.

THE IDEA IS TO PUT
RELIGIOUS MATERIALS

INTO THE HANDS OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE SEEKING GOD'S WORD

AND WHO OTHERWISE
CAN'T AFFORD IT.

DIDN'T THE BIBLE SAY

"GOD HELPS THOSE
WHO HELP THEMSELVES"?

NO. THAT'S
A FOLK SAYING, DAD.

IT'S NOT SCRIPTURE.

WELL, LIKE, YOU COULD SELL
BIBLES OR SOMETHING.

THAT'S HARDLY WHAT I WAS
TALKING ABOUT, MELISSA.

THE BIBLE IS
THE BIGGEST-SELLING BOOK EVER.

BIGGER EVEN THAN BRIDGES.

I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN
A CONCEPT TO DONNY, HERE.

DO YOU MIND?

IT'S OKAY, MOM.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEANT.

THE BIBLE HAS SOLD
MILLIONS OF COPIES.

THAT'S WHY I WAS GIVING IT AS AN
EXAMPLE OF A RELIGIOUS PRODUCT.

DON'T YOU HAVE TO GO
FIX YOUR MAKEUP OR SOMETHING?

NO, I DON'T, AND YOU
GET THAT SNIPPY TONE

OUT OF YOUR VOICE, MISTER.

QUITE A COUPLE.

WHEN YOU'RE BEGINNING
IN BUSINESS, YOU EXPLORE

ALL YOUR OPTIONS.

YOU MAKE A PLAN,
AND YOU INVEST BIG.

WELL, DAD, I DON'T
HAVE ANY OPTIONS.

I CAN'T INVEST BIG.

I DON'T HAVE
ANY MONEY AT ALL.

MAYBE I CAN HELP
YOU ON THAT.

HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?

YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
MONEY TO START A BUSINESS.

SAYS WHO?

YOU'RE
A FEDERAL MARSHALL.

THAT'S A WONDERFUL POSITION

BUT YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY MAKE
THAT MUCH MONEY.

YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT PAYING

TOO MUCH ATTENTION
TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS HERE.

YOU DON'T JOIN A CLUB LIKE THIS
WITH JUST LINT IN YOUR POCKETS.

IT'S TIME
FOR YOU AND ME

TO HAVE MY KIND
OF COME-TO-JESUS MEETING.

WHAT IN THE WORLD

ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT, DONALD?

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR DONNY
TO FINALLY MEET HIS FATHER.

Reno:
OLD DUTCH IS DOING PRETTY WELL--

PRIVATE CLUBS, EXPENSIVE CARS.

HE SURE GOT DEALT A DEUCE
WITH DONNY.

LET'S JUST HOPE THE LITTLE CREEP

CAN, UH, GET US

TO THE FRUIT JAR
FULL OF EVIDENCE.

IF I'M GOING TO INVEST
IN YOUR ENTERPRISE, I WANT

TO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY
ABOUT THE WAY IT'S RUN.

MONEY TALKS,
RIGHT, DAD?

RIGHT.

Reno:
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

Donny:
DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAVE
ENOUGH CASH TO FLOAT THIS DEAL

ON YOUR OWN, DAD?

TRUST ME.

I can handle it.

( static )

DAMN. THE MIC
IS BEING COVERED.

HOW MANY STAKEOUTS
YOU BEEN ON?

I WAS A BEAT COP.

BUSTED HEADS
WITH AN L-STICK.

NEVER BEEN ON
A STAKEOUT.

THAT'S NOT THE SOUND
OF A MIC BEING COVERED.

IT'S THE SOUND
OF A TRANSMITTER
BEING PULLED.

WHAT THE HELL'S THAT
LITTLE PISSER UP TO?

THANK YOU, HARRY.

SON OF A GUN.

THERE'S GOT TO BE AT LEAST
A HUNDRED GRAND IN THERE.

MORE THAN THAT,
SON, A LOT MORE.

HEY, WHERE'S WIDE LOAD.

HE'S OUT CHECKING ON
ONE OF HIS OTHER PITS.

YOUR MIC WENT OUT.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET US
OUTSIDE AT THE BANK.

OH, YEAH. IT GOT
UNPLUGGED ACCIDENTLY.

I DIDN'T NOTICE IT

AND THEN DAD WANTED
TO SCHMOOZE.

WHAT A MUD DUCK
HE'S BECOME, HUH?

HIS FANCY FRIENDS,
AND HIS RICHY CLUB.

HE TOOK ME HOME AND HE WANTED
TO SIGN A CONTRACT BETWEEN US.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

MY FEELINGS WERE HURT.

YOU LEADING UP
TO TELLING ME SOMETHING?

I'M NOT
YOUR FAVORITE PERSON, AM I?

WHAT WAS IN THE BOX?

I WANT TO CUT A SEPARATE DEAL
WITH YOU, OKAY?

COME ON, MAN.

WHAT ARE YOU PULLING NOW?

LOOK, I'M GOING
TO LEVEL WITH YOU.

THERE WAS SOME CASH

INSIDE THAT BOX
ALONG WITH THE PAPERS.

IT WASN'T A LOT,
BUT IT WAS ENOUGH

AND I'D JUST AS SOON
WIDE LOAD DIDN'T GET

HIS HANDS ON ANY OF IT.

YOU GUYS JUST WANT
TO SEE MY DAD PUT AWAY

BUT I'VE LISTENED
TO THAT DIAL TONE SINCE BIRTH

AND I'D LIKE A LITTLE

OF HIS SPENDING MONEY.

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?

WHY NOT OFFER THE DEAL
TO McKENNA?

HELLO. HE'S TOILET-BOWL DIRT.

I DON'T TRUST HIM,
BUT YOU'RE DIFFERENT.

YOU GOT THIS CRUSADER
IMAGE TO PROTECT.

YOU GIVE ME YOUR WORD,
I'LL TAKE IT.

OKAY.
WHERE DOES DUTCH HIDE THE KEY?

HE KEEPS IT IN HIS BADGE CASE.

I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR YOU TO BE THE BAIT.

WE LURE HIM TO SOME
REMOTE PLACE, JUMP HIM

GET THAT KEY, AND WE GO
TO THE SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX

AND GET THE CASH
AND THE EVIDENCE.

WHAT IS McKENNA DOING?

STANDING AROUND WATCHING US GO?

NO, NO. I'LL TAKE McKENNA
OUT OF THE PLAY.

ONCE MY DAD GETS ARRESTED,
McKENNA WILL CALM DOWN.

THAT'S ALL
HE'S BEEN DREAMING ABOUT.

HOW COME THIS ALL FEELS LIKE
A RAIN-SOAKED HIGHWAY TO ME?

LOOK, I SAW INSIDE
THAT SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX.

THERE ARE ENOUGH BANK BOOKS
AND ILLEGAL CHECKING ACCOUNTS

TO PUT MY DAD AWAY FOREVER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S
ANY EVIDENCE ON YOUR CASE

BUT WHAT IS IN THERE IS
GOING TO MAKE HIS WORD

LOOK LIKE NOTHING.

SO, IF HE'S A CONVICTED LIAR
AND A THIEF

THAT MAKES YOUR STORY

SOUND MORE
LIKE THE TRUTH.

OKAY, BUT I PICK THE PLACE.

THERE'S AN OLD ABANDONED
CHURCH DOWN ON MARKET.

I USED TO BE A MEMBER
OF THE CONGREGATION.

IT'S DESERTED.
NOBODY CAN GET IN OUR WAY.

YOU TELL DUTCH

THAT'S WHERE
I'M HIDING OUT.

CHURCH...

WHO GOES TO CHURCH ANYMORE?

PEOPLE OF FAITH, DONNY.

I'M SURPRISED YOU DIDN'T LEARN
THAT IN BIBLE CLASS.

DID HE GO FOR IT?

WELL, NOT
COMPLETELY.

HE WANTED TO PICK THE PLACE.

WELL, WE'LL CHECK IT OUT.

IF IT'S OKAY,
WE'LL BRING DUTCH TO THE PARTY.

WHEN WE'RE FINISHED...

...NOBODY WILL BE LEFT STANDING.

( phone dialing )

Yeah.

DONNY. OKAY, I'M IN.

MAKE THE CALL TO YOUR DAD
AND COVER MY BACK.

( alarm chirps on )

( shotgun cocking )

OVER HERE.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

WANT TO BET?

IT'S TIME FOR THIS
TO FINALLY BE OVER.

EITHER DROP IT OR USE IT.

I'M TIRED OF YOU, RAINES.

I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.

WE COULD END THIS WITH BUCKSHOT

BUT NEITHER ONE OF US
WOULD WIN.

I THINK I WIN.

YOU CAN'T SHOOT ME WITHOUT...

RUINING YOUR CHANCE
OF PROVING I'M GUILTY.

WIDE LOAD McKENNA
AND YOUR SON SET YOU UP.

THAT'S RIGHT.

THEY WANT YOU DEAD OR IN JAIL.

NOW, McKENNA MAYBE.

BUT NOT DONNY.

DONNY AND I,
WE'RE COMING TOGETHER.

THAT'S LONG GONE,
YOU AND YOUR SON.

HE'S HERE.

HE'S PACKING.

HE WANTS

THAT KEY
TO THE SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX.

HE WANTS TO SEE THAT CASH.

NO, DONNY AND I, WE GOT PLANS.

Donny:
HI, DAD.

TURN AROUND AND
LIE FACEDOWN
ON THE FLOOR.

DONNY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE A SKUNK,
AREN'T YOU, RAINES?

YOU TIPPED HIM--
THOUGHT WE HAD A DEAL.

YOU HEARD

THE KID, DUTCH.

ON THE FLOOR-- YOU, TOO

RENO.

DON, WHAT IS THIS?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT'S LIKE COCKROACHES,
DUTCH.

EVERY GENERATION GETS
DIRTIER AND UGLIER.

JUST LIE DOWN OR I'LL DROP YOU
LIKE A BAD HABIT.

TWO AGAINST THREE, DUTCH.

LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY CHANCE
IS TOGETHER.

YOU'RE NUTS--
I'M NOT TEAMING WITH YOU.

NOW!

FOR, GOD'S SAKES, DONNY,
I'M YOUR FATHER!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

GO AHEAD, DUTCH!

I'LL COVER YOU!

DAMN. HOW COULD
HE DO THAT?

LOOK, THE ONLY WAY TO
GET OUT OF THIS THING

IS TOGETHER.

YEAH, YOU NEED ME ALIVE
TO SAVE YOUR SKIN

BUT IT PROBABLY ISN'T
GOING TO COME OUT THAT WAY.

WE'LL DO THE
BEST WE CAN.

LET'S GO!

THERE'S AN EXIT
DOWN HERE SOMEWHERE.

STICK WITH ME.

HOW COULD HE DO IT?
HOW COULD HE DO IT?

SHUT UP!

Donny:
THEY'RE DOWN HERE.

FOLLOW ME.

( groaning )

OH, GOD.

I THINK I HIT DONNY.

DUTCH!

( groaning )

SON.

YOU TRIED TO KILL ME.

I'M YOUR FATHER.

WELL, I DESPISE YOU.

( groaning )

( crying out in pain )

( sirens wailing )

GO AHEAD.

MAKE YOUR MOVE.

GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU GOT 20 MINUTES...

THEN ALL BETS ARE OFF.

SCOUT'S HONOR, DUTCH?

MAYBE I CAN'T FINISH IT NOW.

YOU SAVED MY LIFE.

GO.

I WANT THE KEY
TO THAT SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX.

THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE
BUT MONEY.

GET OUT OF HERE.

GO!

OH, GOD

THIS HURTS.

IT'S KILLING ME.

STOP WHINING--
DO THIS WITH SOME STYLE.

HEY, WHY'D YOU LET HIM GO,
TOUGH GUY?

YOU LET HIM GO.

YOU COULD HAVE
WHACKED HIM.

YOU COULD HAVE WON.

I WOULD HAVE LOST.

IT WAS EMPTY.

( laughing )

Bobby:
WE COULD GET
THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

TO GIVE US A SEARCH WARRANT
ON THAT SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX.

BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING
THERE WORTH ANYTHING

YOU CAN BET
DUTCHY BOY DIXON

WOULD HAVE CLEANED
IT OUT BY THEN.

LET'S JUST SAY
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.

I MEAN, McKENNA'S GONE.

DONNY'S GOING TO GO UP
FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER.

SO, UH, CHEER UP.

I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT THAT.

I... I WAS THINKING ABOUT DUTCH.

THE GUY SPENDS ALL HIS TIME...

TRYING TO GET MONEY.

HE STEALS IT, CHEATS FOR IT,
SO HE CAN BUY HIS CARS AND...

CLUBS AND ALL THE STUFF
HE LIKES.

BUT THEN HE'S GOT
A KID LIKE DONNY.

I MEAN, HE UNDOUBTEDLY
RUINED THAT KID

BUT THE KID POISONS
EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES.

YOU GOT IT.

IT WAS FUNNY IN THERE--

IN THE CHURCH--

LIKE SOMETHING
HAD CHANGED

LIKE A PENNY DROPPED
FOR DIXON

LIKE HE REALIZED
THAT ALL THAT HE HAD DONE

WASN'T WORTH WHAT HE GOT FOR IT.

HIS KID'S IN JAIL
FOR TRYING TO KILL HIM.

WONDER WHAT HE'S THINKING NOW.

( phone ringing )

( ringing )

( Dutch on answering machine):
This is the Dixon residence.

Leave a message after the tone.

( beep )

Melissa:
Don, I have to show
a house on Riverside.

So Carl and I are going
to go out there together.

There's leftovers
in the refrigerator.

Don't wait up. I'll be late.

( beep )
