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, HENRY?

COME ON, MAN,
GIVE ME A TIP.

GIVE ME A TIP.

IT'S IN THE FORM.

YOU SPENT YOUR LIFE
AROUND THE TRACK.

CAN'T YOU LET ME IN ON ONE
OF THOSE INSIDE TIP THINGS?



ALL RIGHT. THE SECRET
TO THIS RACE HORSE BUSINESS?

UH-HUH?

HORSE RELIEVES HIMSELF

IN THE GATE...

UH-HUH.

SURE WINNER.

THANKS.
GOOD LUCK.

EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW.

"PAUL'S PRINCE
WAS TAKEN OFF THE RAIL

"WHILE STOCKING THE BASE
UNDER STOUT RESTRAINT

AND CAME FAR WIDE
TO CLOSE IT TERMINALLY."

WHAT ARE THEY
TALKING ABOUT?

WE GOT AN APPOINTMENT.

WAIT. I'M READING SANSKRIT.

WE GOT TO GO POUND
ON AN INFORMANT.

JUST LISTEN TO THIS.

"NOBLE GUYS WILL SCRATCH

"ON THE ADVICE
OF THE HORSE IDENTIFIER

"ALL OF HIS REGULAR,
EXACTA, QUINIELA

"TRIFECTA AND DOUBLE WAGERS
WERE ORDER-REFUNDED

"AND PICK-THREE SELECTIONS
ROLLED TO THE FAVORITE

MR. POTATO HEAD."

CAN YOU EXPLAIN
WHAT THE HELL THAT IS?

NO. COME ON.

WAIT A MINUTE.
HOLD IT. HOLD IT.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

HOW'D IT GO?

I MISSED HIM

BUT YOUR WEASEL WAS PERFECTLY
RIDING HIS PREDICTIONS.

AND SAMARRA?

DEAD.

THE WEIRD THING
IS THAT THE HORSE

LOOKED COMPLETELY NATURAL.

NO MARKS ON HIM.

TOLD YOU THIS GUY WAS A PRO.

THIS CAME OVER THE FAX.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

SOMEBODY AT THE INSURANCE
COMPANY GOT SUSPICIOUS

OVER THE DEATHS
OF THESE THOROUGHBREDS

SO THEY, UH, CHIPPED IN TO
THE SOUND OF A $150,000 BOUNTY

TOWARD THE HIT MAN.

THAT'S IT?

NO NAME?

JUST "THE SANDMAN."

GREAT.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

BACK TO OWL HILL FARMS.

EXCUSE THE EXPRESSION, RENO,
BUT ISN'T THAT LIKE

CLOSING THE BARN DOOR
AFTER THE HORSE IS GONE?

HAVE ANY BETTER IDEAS?

NO, I GUESS NOT.

FIND OUT WHAT YOU
CAN ABOUT SAMARRA.

YOU REALIZE THEY DON'T
HAVE A HARD CASE

AGAINST THIS GUY.

SO YOU AND I
GOT TO CATCH
HIM IN THE ACT.

THEN THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT WE'LL DO.

THE MAN IS AN IDIOT.

OF ALL THE VETS

IN THE COUNTY,
WHY'D YOU CALL HIM?

DOC HILLIARD'S THE BEST

AND HAS BEEN
FOR 30 YEARS.

COLIC? THAT HORSE
DIDN'T DIE OF COLIC.

EXCUSE ME.

UH... CAN YOU TELL ME
WHO I SEE ABOUT A JOB?

SAM CROW, THE TALL GUY
IN THE BLUE SHIRT.

MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE MINE.

MR. CROW?

I'M VINCE BLACK.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE THE MAN
TO SEE FOR A JOB.

EXCEPT THERE AIN'T NO JOBS.

A SPREAD THIS SIZE?

RACING SEASON
COMING ON?

YOU GOT TO BE ABLE
TO USE ANOTHER HAND.

SO NOW YOU'RE AN EXPERT
ON WHAT I NEED.

LOOK, I WORK
HARD AND CHEAP.

WHATEVER THE JOB,
I'M YOUR MAN.

I'M GOING TO SAY THIS
ONE LAST TIME.

I DON'T NEED NOBODY

AND IF I DID, I WOULDN'T
BE PICKING YOU, GOLDILOCKS.

SAM, CAN I SEE YOU

FOR A MINUTE?

( sighing )

GOOD MORNING.

YOU, UH, SEE THE DOC?

YEAH.

I GUESS IT WAS COLIC,
JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

A FREAKISH THING.

WHO'S THAT?

OH, A DRIFTER
LOOKING FOR A JOB.

I WAS JUST
GETTING RID OF HIM.

COULDN'T WE USE
SOMEONE TO HELP

WITH VICTOR AND HANK GONE?

WE CAN GET BY.

YOU'D LIKE TO FIRE EVERYBODY
AND DO ALL THE WORK.

AT LEAST THINGS
WILL GET DONE RIGHT.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE, SAM, OKAY?

( sighs )

YES, MA'AM.

BLACK?

COME HERE.

WE'RE GOING
TO TRY YOU OUT

BUT JUST FOR A DAY OR TWO.

WHERE DO I START?

OH, UH, AT THE TOP, OF COURSE.

CLEANING THE STALLS.

BROCK...

DONNA...

I AM SO SORRY.

OH, NO...

NO, I FEEL BADLY
ABOUT ALL THIS.

I HELPED YOU FIND SAMARRA.

I CONVINCED YOU TO BUY HIM.

BROCK, I LOVED THAT HORSE.

I MEAN, HE GAVE ME A REASON

TO GET UP OUT OF BED
EVERY MORNING.

I KNOW THAT ONCE
WE STARTED RACING HIM

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A WINNER.

WHAT?

IT'S JUST SO GREAT

TO SEE YOU ALL
CHARGED UP LIKE THIS.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

I'M A SUCKER FOR THEM PONIES.

OH, I KNOW. YOU
SHOULD HAVE SEEN

THE HORSE THAT I SAW...

NEVER MIND.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THAT ANOTHER TIME.

SO, ABOUT TONIGHT...

BROCK, WHAT WERE
YOU GOING TO SAY?

NOTHING.

WHAT'S ALL THE MYSTERY?

I SAW THIS HORSE.

TELL ME ABOUT HIM.

IT'S A HER

A FILLY...
AND HER NAME IS TEMPTRESS.

SHE'S A
MAGNIFICENT ANIMAL.
AND?

SHE HAD GREAT BLOOD LINES.

YOU'VE SEEN THE PAPERS?

SHE'S FROM THE ROYAL PALMS RANCH

AND EVERYTHING
CHECKS THROUGH.

SHE'S AVAILABLE?

YES.

BUT MAYBE
IN A COUPLE WEEKS WE'LL...

IF SHE'S ALL YOU SAY

IN A COUPLE WEEKS
SHE'LL BE GONE.

JUST THINK IT OVER.

I DON'T WANT TO THINK.

WHAT'S THE PRICE?

IT'S A QUARTER
OF A MILLION DOLLARS.

I'LL USE THE INSURANCE MONEY
FROM SAMARRA.

IT ONLY SEEMS RIGHT,
DON'T YOU THINK?

YES, BUT...

NO, NO, NO, THAT'S IT.

I'LL CALL THE BANK

AND HAVE THEM
CUT A CHECK.

OH... BROCK.

EVERY DAY LIKE THIS?

YOU WORK HERE LONG?

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

HE DON'T
SPEAK ENGLISH...

AND WHEN YOU GET DONE HERE

THE STABLES NEED CLEANING.

AGAIN?
HEY...

THEM HORSES
JUST KEEP EATING.

YOUR JOB IS NEVER DONE.

HE'S GOT LOOSE!

( neighing )

( neighing )

WHAT HAPPENED?

THEY WERE SADDLING LEVIATHAN
AND HE SPOOKED.

NOW HIS SADDLE
SLIPPED DOWN.

SADDLE GETS
ANY LOOSER

HE'S GOING TO CATCH
A DAMN HOOF ON IT.

WHAT THE HELL
DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING?

( neighs )

( neighs )

OH! HE'S GOT HIM!

OH, I'M SO GLAD YOU TALKED ME
INTO HIRING HIM, SAM.

BABY...

THANKS.

I'M BILLIE.

VINCE.

REAL ROOTIN'-TOOTIN'
RANGE RIDER, AREN'T YOU?

GET AROUND LIKE I DO

YOU LEARN HOW TO DO
JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.

GOOD THING FOR US.

COME BY THE CIRCLE TONIGHT
FOR A BEER.

OKAY.
WHAT'S THE CIRCLE?

WINNER'S CIRCLE...
OUT BY THE TRACK.

TOTAL CESS POOL.

CAN'T WAIT.

HI.

HI.

TONY, TWO MORE.

GOING THROUGH THOSE
A LITTLE FAST, AREN'T YOU?

NO LECTURES, OKAY?
JUST LET ME GET
RIPPED IN PEACE.

CHEERS.

IS THIS ABOUT SAMARRA?

PARTLY, YEAH...

HE WAS JUST THE SWEETEST
DAMN ANIMAL.

YOU KNOW, I WAS WITH THAT HORSE
EVERY DAY

FOR THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS.

HE NEVER HAD
COLIC A DAY.

WHEN MRS. MACK PAID
ALL THAT MONEY

HE JUST NEVER RAN TRUE.

OUCH.

SO... WHAT'S THE OTHER PART
OF THIS?

THAT HAD TO BE
THE WORST THREE MINUTES

OF MY ENTIRE LIFE
THIS AFTERNOON.

I MEAN, IF ANYTHING WOULD HAVE
HAPPENED TO LEVIATHAN

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.

YOU REALLY BOND
WITH THESE ANIMALS.

OH, MY GOD,
LEVIATHAN IS MY BABY.

WHY IS THAT?

TWO YEARS AGO

WHEN MR. MACK BOUGHT HIM

HE STUMBLED DURING A WORKOUT
AND PULLED A TENDON.

THAT'S USUALLY LIGHTS OUT,
ISN'T IT?

BUT THIS VET AND I
CONVINCED MR. MACK

THAT IT COULD HEAL
AND MAYBE HE'D EVEN RUN AGAIN.

AND YOU NURSED HIM BACK.

LIKE HE WAS
MY OWN SICK CHILD.

I CHANGED HIS DRESSING

I FED HIM A SPECIAL DIET

I EXERCISED HIM
A LITTLE AT A TIME.

I JUST KNEW HE COULD COME BACK.

AND YOU WERE RIGHT.

IT WAS A
DAMN MIRACLE.

WE'RE GOING TO RACE HIM
OVER AT LINDA VISTA IN TWO DAYS.

MAN, IS THAT GOING TO BE A DAY.

THIS IS MORE THAN A JOB
WITH YOU, ISN'T IT?

WORKING WITH THE HORSES?
HELL, YEAH.

YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A GREAT THING
YOU DID TODAY.

NO... I WAS JUST GOING
ON INSTINCT.

WELL, YOU KEEP GOING ON IT.

I LIKE THAT.

I'M GONE.

HOLD UP A SECOND.

WHY DON'T YOU LET ME
GIVE YOU A RIDE HOME.

ON ONE CONDITION.

OKAY, WHAT'S THAT?

I'LL TELL YOU
WHEN YOU GET THERE.

MM...

HEY, YOU KNOW THAT GUY?

WHO?

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

HEY...

HOLD IT!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I SAW SOMEONE PROWLING AROUND.

AND HOW COME YOU'RE HERE
TO FIND HIM?

I LEFT MY GEAR BAG.

I CAME TO PICK IT UP.

I'D FIRE YOU ON THE SPOT

EXCEPT MRS. MACK'D JUST
STAND UP FOR YOU.

I CATCH YOU TRYING
TO HURT MY HORSES, BOY

I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE.

UNDERSTAND?

UNDERSTOOD.

NOW, GET OUT
OF HERE.

Billie:
LOOK AT THE BASTARD GO!

SHE HAS GOOD TIME.

YEAH.

FASTER NOW.

GIDDAP. GO.

GO.

YES. YES.

GOD, THAT HORSE IS GAME.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. 35.6.

WHAT'D I TELL YOU?

NOTHING I DIDN'T
ALREADY KNOW.

LOOKS GOOD, NICOLE.

LOOKS LIKE WE
GOT A WINNER.

GO AHEAD AND
TAKE HIM IN.

SEE WHAT YOU MEAN
ABOUT THAT HORSE.

YEAH. HE'S FAST OUT
OF THE GATE LIKE YOU.

I'M SORRY
ABOUT LAST NIGHT

BUT I'VE BEEN CHASING
THAT GUY FOR 300 BUCKS

SINCE SANTA ANITA BROKE.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HIM?

MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE,
HANGING AROUND.

SO, DID YOU
GET YOUR MONEY?

NAH. I CAME BACK
AND YOU WERE GONE.

I TOOK A CAB HOME.

SMART GIRL.

YEAH, BUT I JUST MIGHT
LET YOU MAKE IT UP TO ME.

( doorbell ringing )

MRS. MACK,
I'M VINCE BLACK

THE MAN...

OH, I KNOW.

THE NEW HAND THAT SAM HIRED.

I THINK YOU HAD
A HAND IN THAT.

I WANTED TO THANK YOU.

WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING
THAT I DID.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR SAVING MY HORSE.

OH... NO.

VINCE, WALK BACK DOWN

TO THE STABLES WITH ME.

THAT WAS QUITE A HEROIC
DISPLAY YOU PUT ON YESTERDAY.

IF ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED
TO LEVIATHAN, I...

WELL, IT DIDN'T.

NO. THANKS TO YOU.

I AM GRATEFUL.

I WAS... WAS SORRY
TO HEAR ABOUT SAMARRA.

YEAH. IT'S SO SAD.

I WAS JUST LOOKING
AT HIS PAPERS NOW.

WITH HIS PEDIGREE
HE HAD SUCH POTENTIAL.

YEAH.

I MUST SAY, YOU HAVE QUITE
A BEAUTIFUL PLACE HERE.

HMM, IT WAS
MY LATE HUSBAND'S

WHEN I MARRIED HIM.

EVERYBODY SAID WHAT
A TERRIFIC GUY HE WAS.

IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
TO BE TRUE.

HOW LONG AGO DID HE DIE?

FIVE MONTHS AGO.

THERE WERE TIMES I DIDN'T THINK
I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT.

HELL, LET'S BE HONEST.

I ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT.

I'M SORRY.

HORSES...
HORSES WERE FRANK'S PASSION.

I ONLY GOT INTERESTED
IN THEM AFTER HIS DEATH...

AS A WAY
OF CONNECTING, I GUESS.

( car approaching )

VINCE, YOU GOT
TO COME SEE.

WHAT'S THAT?

MY NEW HORSE, TEMPTRESS.

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK OUT.

BRING HER ON OUT.

Reno:
WHO'S THAT?

BROCK HUNTER. HE GUIDED ME
THROUGH THIS WHOLE WORLD.

I OWE HIM A LOT.

HEY...

OH, I'M SORRY.

BROCK HUNTER.

BROCK HUNTER,
THIS IS VINCE BLACK.

HE'S THE MAN WHO RODE DOWN
WITH LEVIATHAN.

WELL, WE OWE YOU
BIG TIME. THANKS.

I'M GLAD NOTHING

HAPPENED TO HIM.

AREN'T WE ALL?

DONNA, COME HAVE A LOOK.

OH, I WILL.

I'LL CATCH UP TO YOU.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

SO, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

HERE.

WHAT IS IT?

PEDIGREE PAPERS
AND SAMARRA'S BILL OF SALE.

THEY LOOK LEGIT TO ME.

WHY WOULD SOMEBODY
WANT TO KILL

BLUE CHIP THOROUGHBREDS?

I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE IF THEIR HORSE

WERE WORTH MORE
DEAD THAN ALIVE.

OH, GREAT.
BRAINTEASERS.

AND GET THIS.

THE VET SAID THAT
SAMARRA DIED OF COLIC

BUT THE EXERCISE GIRL SAID

HE NEVER HAD COLIC
A DAY IN HIS LIFE.

THERE'S SOME VOODOO STUFF
GOING ON AROUND HERE.

YOU HEAR ANYTHING
FROM THE SANDMAN?

I THINK I RAN
INTO HIM LAST NIGHT

THEN GOT INTO TROUBLE,
AND... I LOST HIM.

I'D BETTER GET BACK
BEFORE THEY MISS ME.

WHAT ABOUT THIS JOB?

HOW'S IT GOING?

WHAT HAVE THEY
GOT YOU DOING?

LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY:

I'M GLAD I HAVE
A COLLEGE DEGREE

TO FALL BACK ON.

HOW'S SHE LOOK?

SHE'S A LITTLE SKITTISH.

Sam:
WE'LL SEE HOW SHE RUNS.

NICOLE...

GO!

LOOK AT HER MOVE, SAM.

THE CLOCK WILL
TELL US, MRS. MACK.

18 AT THE HALF.

NOT BAD.

40.4.

WELL, IF I'D
JUST RIDDEN

NINE HOURS
ON THE TRAILER

I WOULDN'T FEEL MUCH
LIKE RUNNING EITHER.

STILL WANT TO RUN HER
TOMORROW, MRS. MACK?

OH, ABSOLUTELY, SAM.

LET HER GET A RACE
UNDER HER BELT.

IT MIGHT BE SMARTER TO
LET HER GET ACCLIMATED.

HOLD HER UP
FOR A FEW WEEKS.

NO, BROCK. I WANT
TO SEE HER RUN.

TAKE HER IN, BILLIE.

YOU COMING?

NO. I'LL BE
JUST A SECOND.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE

EVERYTHING'S OKAY
WITH TEMPTRESS.

OKAY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU
DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.

I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO TAPES.

MOVE.

THAT'S ENOUGH, VINCE.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING OUT HERE?

SOME GUY WAS SNEAKING AROUND,
SO I THOUGHT

I'D KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

WHAT DID YOU SEE?

NOTHING, UNFORTUNATELY.

I LOST HIM A WAYS BACK.

GOOD WORK. I THOUGHT
I SAW SOMEONE TOO.

SO, WE FOLLOWED
HIM OUT HERE.

LET US KNOW
IF YOU SEE HIM AGAIN.

YOU'RE MAKING YOURSELF
INVALUABLE AROUND HERE
PRETTY DAMN QUICK.

JUST GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANCE.

COME ON, CHEKA.

WHERE THE HELL YOU BEEN?

JUST HAD AN AUTOPSY
DONE ON SAMARRA.

THAT EXERCISE GIRL
WAS RIGHT.

HE DIDN'T DIE OF COLIC;
HE WAS ELECTROCUTED.

OH, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU RUN AN AUTOPSY
ON THE BRAIN

DEATH BY ELECTROCUTION
LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE
DYING OF COLIC.

I JUST GOT OFF
THE PHONE WITH CHEY.

SHE SAID THOSE PEDIGREE
PAPERS ARE A MASTER FORGERY.

SAMARRA ISN'T SAMARRA?

MY GUESS:

THAT HORSE IS A MUTT.

SHE'S RUNNING A CHECK
ON BROCK HUNTER.

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?

HE BUYS HORSES CHEAP,
FORGES THE PAPERS?

TATTOOS IT
WITH THE RIGHT NUMBERS.

THEN SETS UP RICH WIDOWS?

WHY KILL THE HORSE?

HE'S MADE HIS PROFIT
WITH THE SALE

AND THE WIDOWS GET
THE INSURANCE MONEY.

MAYBE SELF-DEFENSE.

KILLS THE HORSE BEFORE
ANYBODY REALIZES IT'S A DOG.

THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER
POSSIBILITY, RENO.

MAYBE HE SEDUCES THE WIDOWS
INTO BEING HIS ACCOMPLICES.

DONNA McKENZIE PAID 200 GRAND
FOR THAT ANIMAL.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

MAYBE SHE DIDN'T PAY A DIME.

MAYBE SHE'S IN ON IT

COLLECTING THE INSURANCE MONEY
TOGETHER.

I DON'T BUY IT.

SHE'S HEAD OVER HEELS
FOR THIS GUY.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
SHE MAY DO FOR THIS MAN.

NOT KILL HORSES, NOT THIS LADY.

ALL OF A SUDDEN
YOU'RE AN EXPERT ON THIS LADY?

BOBBY, I SAW HER FACE

WHEN SHE WAS WATCHING
THAT NEW FILLY RUN.

HORSES ARE HER LIFE.

THAT'S ALL SHE...

WHAT?

OH, MAN.

WHAT?!

HUNTER SET UP DELIVERY
OF THE NEW FILLY.

ARE YOU GOING
TO TELL HER EVERYTHING?

NOT UNTIL WE KNOW FOR SURE HOW
ALL THESE PIECES FIT TOGETHER.

( engine starting )

COME ON.

COME ON.
COME ON. COME ON.

WHERE THE HELL
YOU BEEN?

UH, JUST GRABBING
SOME LUNCH.

YEAH?

WELL, WE'RE LOADING
TEMPTRESS FOR THE TRACK.

LET'S GO.

QUIT IT!

QUIT IT.

STOP IT.

COME ON IN.

QUIT IT.

WHOA... WHOA...

SETTLE DOWN.

WHOA. SETTLE DOWN.
COME ON.

( whinnying )

WHOA.

GET HER LOADED UP.

WHAT THE HELL'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU!

HOW'D YOU LET THAT HORSE
GET AWAY FROM YOU?!

YOU JUST SENT ERNESTO OVER
TO HELP ME.

THAT HORSE
IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

WILL YOU
TAKE IT EASY.

IT WASN'T HER FAULT.

STAY OUT OF THIS.

YOU'RE FIRED.

FINE!

WAIT A MINUTE.

MIND YOUR OWN
DAMN BUSINESS.

WHY DO YOU
PICK ON HER?

YOU'RE FIRED TOO!

ARE WE GETTING
IN YOUR WAY HERE?

IF YOU GOT SOMETHING
TO SAY, SAY IT.

YOU HURTING THESE HORSES?

COME ON, BOY.

YOU'VE BEEN
ASKING FOR THIS.

I'M NOT FIGHTING YOU.

WATCH IT. THAT WAS CLOSE.

THAT CLOSE ENOUGH?

STOP!

STOP IT! WHAT IS WRONG
WITH YOU TWO?

SAM... SAM...
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

EITHER HE GOES OR I DO.

WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

THEY WERE LOADING TEMPTRESS UP

AND SHE SPOOKED
AND BROKE THROUGH THE FENCE.

OH, MY GOD, IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S FINE.

VINCE, WAS THIS AN ACCIDENT?

WHAT ELSE COULD IT HAVE BEEN?

WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON
AROUND HERE

I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER.

DONNA...

DONNA. HEY.

HI.

VINCE.

MR. HUNTER.

VINCE, YOU STARTED
TO SAY SOMETHING.

WELL, IT'S OKAY.

BROCK AND I DON'T
HAVE ANY SECRETS.

WELL, I JUST WANTED TO PUT IN
A GOOD WORD FOR BILLIE.

SHE'S A REAL
GOOD HAND.

BE A SHAME

TO SEE HER FIRED.

BILLIE'S PART
OF OUR FAMILY.

SHE'D NEVER GET FIRED.

SAM JUST DID.

WELL, THAT HAPPENS
ABOUT THREE TIMES A WEEK.

HE BLAMES HER
FOR EVERYTHING.

VINCE, SAM
IS BILLIE'S FATHER.

OH.

WELL, I'M SORRY
I WASTED YOUR TIME.

HEY, NO, NO.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN.

I'D BETTER BE GETTING BACK.

HEY.

THANKS FOR STICKING UP
FOR ME TODAY.

THAT DON'T HAPPEN
VERY OFTEN.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
SAM WAS YOUR DAD?

WELL, I TRY TO KEEP
THAT EMBARRASSING
LITTLE FACT A SECRET.

LOOK, SAM'S NOT THAT BAD.

I MEAN, HE'S JUST
UPSET AND FRUSTRATED

ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

WAS HE EVER IN ANY TROUBLE
WITH THE LAW?

ONCE... I THINK,
A LONG TIME AGO.

HMM. WHAT FOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE DOESN'T LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT IT.

AND NEITHER DO I.

HERE. I FORGIVE YOU.

WHAT'S THIS?

MY ADDRESS.

DINNER'S ON THE TABLE
AT 7:00 SHARP.

YOU COME HUNGRY.

Brock:
THIS VINCE BLACK GUY KNOWS.

HE WAS THAT CLOSE
TO TELLING DONNA.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

PONIES AREN'T THE ONLY ONES

WHO CAN MEET
AN UNFORTUNATE DEMISE.

THEN IT'S GOT
TO BE NOW, TONIGHT.

YOU'RE ACTING
LIKE YOU GOT COLIC.

OH, IT'S SO EASY FOR YOU
TO BE NONCHALANT.

THEY KNOW WHO I AM.

MY NAME IS ALL OVER THIS THING.

STOP WHINING.
IF YOU CAN KEEP YOUR COOL

WE'LL GET OUT OF THIS COZY.
UNDERSTAND?

OKAY.

BUT THIS HORSE I SOLD HER--
IT'S A REAL DOG.

WE CAN'T LET HER RUN
ONE SINGLE RACE.

FINE. SHE'S PURINA-BOUND.

HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO DO THAT, HOWARD?

TEMPTRESS IS
AT THE TRACK ALREADY.

I'M WAY AHEAD OF YOU.

I'VE ARRANGED
SOME SECLUDED QUARTERS

WHERE WE CAN WHACK HER GOOD.

JUST LEAVE IT
IN MY CAPABLE HANDS.

OKAY.

EXCEPT THERE'S ONE THING
I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF, MYSELF.

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S DONNA McKENZIE.

OH. AFFAIRS OF THE HEART.

NOT MY DEPARTMENT.

I SUCKED THAT SAP DRY.

( laughing )

AND I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND
ONE MORE SECOND WITH HER.

AND THEY SAY CHIVALRY IS DEAD.

ALL RIGHT,
HERE'S THE DEAL:

WE HAVE OUR LITTLE DAY
AT THE RACES

WE 86 THE FILLY

AND... WE PUT MR. BLACKWELL
TO SLEEP, ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

AND, HEY

DON'T WORRY.

IT'LL BE A BLAST.

BROCK.

I THOUGHT WE WERE MEETING
AT THE TRACK.

DONNA,
IT'S MY FATHER.

TELL ME.

MY BROTHER CALLED.

HE AND MY FATHER RUN
THE FAMILY BUSINESS

BACK IN OHIO.

IS YOUR FATHER SICK?

NO, BUT APPARENTLY
THEY'RE IN TROUBLE--

SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE
WITH THE BUSINESS--

AND MY FATHER'S
FALLING APART.

OH, BROCK.

MY BROTHER SAYS
HE'S SUICIDAL.

I'VE GOT TO GET BACK THERE.

WELL, OF COURSE
YOU DO.

DONNA, MY PLANE
LEAVES IN AN HOUR.

NOW, I COULD BE WEEKS...

EVEN MONTHS.

WELL, YOU TAKE
AS LONG AS YOU NEED.

I'LL BE HERE.

THAT'S WHAT
I WANTED TO HEAR.

( sighs )

MRS. McKENZIE.

HI. I JUST WANTED
TO STOP BY

TO WISH YOU LUCK TODAY.

THANK YOU, VINCE.

IF RACES WERE WON
BY OWNERS

YOU'D BE
IN WINNER'S CIRCLE

EVERY AFTERNOON.

ARE YOU OKAY?

NOT REALLY.

BROCK HAD TO LEAVE
TOWN SUDDENLY AND...

( sobbing )

I'M SORRY.

I MUST SEEM LIKE
SOME HYSTERICAL WOMAN.

NOT AT ALL.

WELL... GOOD LUCK TODAY.

CAN YOU COME TO THE RACES
WITH ME TODAY?

HOLD ME UP IN CASE I CRUMBLE?

I'D BE HONORED

BUT... UM...

OH. WELL, FRANK
WAS ABOUT YOUR SIZE

AND HE HAS CLOSETS
FULL OF BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES.

GIVE ME A MOMENT TO CHANGE.

Announcer:
And away they go,
breaking away in an even line.

Lilac Lady towards the center,
showing good speed

and Harvest Color on the outside
goes out to lead them.

Damascus Fool is tucking in
just behind the leaders

and Cover the Bet

going to be forced to go
a little wide.

Battle Weary, content
to trail ten lengths off.

Past the stands,
first time round

and Harvest Color
and Lilac Lady out there

showing a good speed
on the lead...

HI.

I FEEL BETTER ALREADY.

It's going to be a photo.

Battle Weary, Harvest Color
or Lilac Lady.

They hit the wire together

very, very close.

Again, we do ask you

to please hold all tickets.

It's going to be very close

to decide who's won this one.

Those three horses involved...

HI, SAM.

HI.

Sam:
WHERE YOU BEEN?

WE'RE HERE. RELAX.

Sam:
LEVIATHAN'S RACE IS
IN SEVEN MINUTES.

WHERE'S MR. HUNTER?

Donna:
FAMILY EMERGENCY.

OH, HERE, VINCE.

FOR GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

UM, EXCUSE ME.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

WHERE YOU GOING?

I JUST SAW AN OLD FRIEND.

We can see the runners
coming out onto the track.

Let's introduce
the runners to you.

Here's #5, Leviathan.

Leviathan, representing
the Owl Hill Farm

owned by Mrs. Donna McKenzie
and trained by Sam Crow

and Leviathan, one of the big
long shots in today's field

going off at odds
of 60-1 right now.

Place your bets.

I JUST SAW LEVIATHAN
IN THE PADDOCK.

THIS IS GOING
TO BE HIS DAY.

OH, I CAN'T WAIT.

OH, LOOK,
THEY'RE IN THE GATE.

The last runner to load
is Sudden Poison

and they're all set.

The flag is now raised.

All set for a start

in today's third event.

And away they go!

Breaking smartly
was Loose Cannons

in the center
of the track with...

GO, LEVIATHAN, GO!

Scott's Bride goes out
to join him.

Then it's Sudden Poison.

Leviathan is racing about
eight lengths off the leaders.

Twice Johnny is content

to drop 13 off.

Wednesday Bingo
is in the back of the field

as they come past the stands
first time round...

KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING.

IS HE GOING TO MAKE A MOVE?

Scott's Bride, on the outside

is third,
then back to Sudden Poison.

Leviathan is dropping
about eight lengths

off the leaders.

Behind that comes
Wednesday Bingo

driving with 20 lengths
to make up.

Down the back stretch they go

and Loose Cannons shows the way.

Red's Darling in second.

Scott's Bride on the outside

and Leviathan moves
into contention

as they swing for home.

Homeward Bound
and Loose Cannons bellied up

but Leviathan is...

YES! YES! YES!

Leviathan is coming home
powerfully on the outside.

Loose Cannons's
trying to hang on...

YES! YES!

...but Leviathan is catching him
stride for stride.

GO, LEVIATHAN, GO!
GO, BABY!

HE'S DOING IT!

...are going to hit

the wire together.

Leviathan is going
the better of the two.

Loose Cannons can't
hold off Leviathan.

They come down to the wire,
and it's going

to be Leviathan to win it!

Leviathan caused an upset...

( cheering )

...then Sudden Poison,
Twice Johnny

and tailing off
to Wednesday Bingo

but Leviathan

a 60-1 shocker,
has won today's third race.

Leviathan,
owned by Mrs. Donna McKenzie

and trained by Sam Crow

has gone on to win today's third

from Loose Cannons...

and the result
of that third race...

OOH, TEMPTRESS.

BEAUTIFUL NAME
FOR A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.

NIGHT-NIGHT, DOLLFACE.

DROP IT!

YOU DROP THAT WIRE.

DO IT!

YOU FROM
THE A.S.P.C.A.?

YEAH, AND I'VE COME

TO PUT YOU OUT OF YOUR MISERY.

DON'T GO TENSE ON ME.

UNHOOK THAT THING
FROM THE HORSE. DO IT.

WHOA... WHOA.

YOU MAKE ME SICK.

NO NEED TO GET PERSONAL.

DON'T GET UPSET,
HOWARD.

DROP THE GUN, VINCE.

HELL OF A WAY TO MAKE
A LIVING, BROCK.

WELL, IT BEATS
CLEANING CARPETS

WHICH IS WHAT I USED
TO DO FOR A LIVING.

NOW, GET INSIDE
THAT STALL.

COME ON! LET'S MOVE.

INSIDE!

( Brock yelling
and tapping gate )

( loud whinnying )

HAH!

( Brock yelling )

( whinnying and snorting )

DROP IT, BROCK!

YOU NEVER DID
HAVE ANYTHING

TO DO WITH THIS,
DID YOU?

COULD NEVER HURT
AN ANIMAL, SON

BUT I CAN THINK OF A FEW
THINGS I'D LIKE TO DO

TO THIS SACK OF MANURE.

THIS IS KIND
OF EMBARRASSING.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW

WHAT A COMPLETE IDIOT
I HAVE BEEN.

WELL, I THINK
BROCK CAUGHT YOU

AT A VULNERABLE TIME.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO HARD
ON YOURSELF, DONNA.

UM, I WON'T
THANK YOU AGAIN.

I'VE DONE ENOUGH
OF THAT ALREADY.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

OH, WELL,
WHEN I GET BACK

I'M GOING TO DO
MY DAMNEDEST

TO MAKE SURE
THAT OWL HILL FARMS

IS THE BEST STABLE
ON THE WEST COAST.

WELL, SMART MONEY'S ON YOU.

GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE.

( engine starting )

A REAL NICE LADY.
YOU WERE RIGHT.

YEP.

( laughs )

YOU KNOW, RENO

I GOT TO ASK YOU
A QUESTION.

WHAT?

YOU'RE SENTIMENTAL,
AND KNOWING

HOW BILLIE AND DONNA FELT

ABOUT LEVIATHAN,
WEREN'T YOU INCLINED

TO MAYBE PUT DOWN
YOUR OWN WAGER?

HUH?

IS THIS WHAT YOU
HAD IN MIND?

LET ME SEE THAT.

( loud laughing )

HEY, WHAT WAS
IT RUNNING AT?

20 OR 30-TO-ONE?

60-1 IF I RECALL.

YOU GOT THE RIGHT DATE

GOT THE THIRD RACE

NUMBER FIVE HORSE
TO WIN AT 60-1 ODDS.

THAT'S, UH... HAH!

THAT'S EXCELLENT.

WAY TO GO, BABE!

TWO DOLLARS?

YOU BET TWO DOLLARS?

YOU'RE FREE
TO CASH IT IN

IF YOU WANT.

( engine starting )

60-1 ODDS, TWO DOLLARS...
