This is a private party.

I have a right to effect this arrest

by whatever means necessary.

You're obstructing justice.

Use of force will only add

millions to the lawsuits.

Now you can sue me.

Thank you very much, everybody!

Next show will be in a few minutes.

Some guys don't know when to quit.

- Who?

- Just some dumb cop.

I got $1,000 says

he's on the ground in 30 seconds.

I'll take that bet.

Can I help you?

I have a warrant for Hanner's arrest.

I'm sure he's right back there.

I let you in, I lose my job.

Better than losing your teeth.

Hold on, hold on.

John-boy is confused.

What he means is,

take that warrant...

...and shove it up your ass.

Sir, you're obstructing justice...

Open the door!

Howdy, Orin.

Hi, Jack.

Have a seat.

Can I get you a drink?

I don't drink much.

Call me.

I haven't met you, but I'm sure

you don't care about that.

Good luck with

this incredibly large fellow.

We're in a...

...unique situation. I realize

the EPA wasn't able to put you away.

I was kidding when I told you

I resigned. I'm still active.

These men are with the FBI.

They came to help me serve this warrant.

Your son provided us

with enough evidence...

...to stack up a lot of years.

My son's a real disappointment to me.

We've got you on extortion,

conspiracy to commit murder...

...murder and racketeering.

We're talking 30 years.

That's ugly.

That's a long time

to go without a woman.

I knew you were gonna say that.

I have a dear friend named Tyrone

that's promised me that...

...when you hit prison,

he'll take you under his wing...

...and teach you the most intimate

social graces of prison.

You'll be in good hands,

so don't worry about that.

That takes care of the woman thing.

But you're talking to

a 60-year-old man.

That means

I'd probably die in prison...

...or wish to God I had.

Unless you live to be a very old man.

So I guess...

...that makes killing you free.

It would be free if you could.

That's fast.

Hook him up.

I got him.

That's fast.

You're under arrest.

Hands behind your...

Agent down!

Get me an ambulance.

I'm still alive, a**hole.

I know you're alive.

That could be because I'm a bad shot.

Or that I'm a good shot...

...and just wanted you to meet Tyrone.

I'll let you think about that.

F*** you, Jack.

See you around, buddy.

Hi.
