[GUNSHOTS]
RED:
I got it, sir.
Press has been waiting
almost an hour, Red.
I hear you.
Yeah, l hear you. I understand.
I understand.
Yeah. No, l'm here.
I'm just listening. Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
What'd he say?
- Who?
- The governor, Red.
Well, he reminded me
that it's an election year.
[CHUCKLES]
- Hi.
- Hi.
I, uh, hope you don't drink before noon.
Oh, no, l don't.
The last one we had here,
seemed like she was on a liquid diet.
[LAUGHING]
- Last what?
- Secretary.
Penny Monroe.
Well, um, I believe you have me confused.
See, I'm from Huntsville.
I was assigned by the governor.
Adler, what is this?
It rings a bell. I think they sent
something over about her this morning.
- Who did?
- The governor, Red.
I'm Sally Gerber, criminologist
- Tom Adler, Texas Rangers.
- Hi.
Well, uh, it's a relatively new procedure.
I was assigned by the governor to work...
"Work with state law officials
in all affairs of penal matters...
...coinciding with the state police."
This doesn't say anything...
It includes parole, work-release programs,
as well as penal escape situations.
[lNTERCOM BUZZES]
We'll be right there, Marge.
They're getting antsy, Red.
You scheduled it.
Uh, the idea is that an understanding
of the behavioral case history...
...should, in parole situations,
help the subject to avoid habitual traps.
And in penal escape situations...
...could conversely identify those selfsame
traps as an aid to apprehension.
- Let me tell you something, Miss Gerber....
- Sally is fine.
Let me tell you something, Sally...
...this is not a penal escape.
This happens to be a manhunt.
And no talking around in circles
is gonna fix all that.
- And what will?
- Us having a nose like a blue tick...
...that's a medulla with an antenna,
and a lot of coffee.

[GUNSHOT]
[LAUGHING]
We got a handful of caps,
and you're shooting water tanks.
He's a smart guy, huh, Phillip?
[PHILLlP SHOUTS]
Goddamn!
PHILLIP:
Ow!
Okay, boys, that's enough!
The chief's got work to do!
REPORTER:
Did the kid say anything?
- Good morning, Red.
- Good morning.
- So, what do you think?
We're very proud of this baby.
Governor ordered it so dignitaries
could ride in the parade in Dallas.
- You know President Kennedy's coming?
- Yeah, so l heard.
Latest technology.
Got an oversized engine...
...full kitchen, sleeping quarters.
Got room for gun racks.
Stove, fridge, even got a hotline phone
straight to the governor's office.
- Fine piece of machinery.
- What's more...
...soon as it comes back from Dallas,
it'll be at your disposal.
It's perfect for lots of situations.
It's a headquarters on wheels.
We'll take it.
Uh, chief? Stop taking pictures!
Red, it's just not possible.
- Governor's gotta ride in it tomorrow.
- He gave this manhunt top priority.
But, Red... Listen,
you gotta believe me. Ha, ha. Red?
- What's your name?
- Dick Suttle, the driver.
- Not anymore. Bradley?
- This man stays with his vehicle.
- You know how to work all the gadgets?
- Oh, yes, sir.
Okay, take a seat.
ADLER:
Excuse me, Red.
This here's Bobby Lee.
He's a specialist with the feds.
They want him to tag along.
[ENGlNE STARTS]
SAUNDERS:
Red, what am l supposedto tell the governor?
Well, you tell him that, uh,
Miss Sally Gerber over there...
...from his office,
checked me out on this.
Oh, hell.
Hey!
Hello?
You coming or aren't you?
Not a scratch! You hear me, Suttle?
Not a scratch!
On the truck! On the trailer!
And you call me! You call me!
