Framed Page #7

---

i believe you, frank.

Yeah, yeah,

but you screwed up,

and that's $3,000

down the drain!

What the hell

are you doing here?

Get out there and pass

the word to your men.

Shoot that bastard

on sight.

But, morello...

"but, morello" sh*t!

Do it! He killed 3 men!

Yeah...

that you hired!

And who can prove it?

Look, they're dead.

Now, don't miss.

Jesus christ,

morello!

This whole damn thing's

getting out of hand!

Tad, get going.

Now!

Don't think we don't

appreciate this, senator tatum.

Perfectly

all right.

Senator tatum.

Yes?

My name's ron lewis.

Oh, hi.

Get the hell

away from me.

You make the wrong move, and i'll kill you.

Shut up.

Come on. Come on.

You're going

with me. Come on.

You don't expect me to buy

that crock of crap, do you?

It's the truth.

It's the truth.

Why would i get mixed up

in anything like that, huh?

I mean, after all, i do

have a sense of justice.

The man driving that plymouth was a pusher.

Who was he? Your

son's connection?

What's that got to do

with this? My boy's dead.

Your son was a junkie. That's no secret.

He died of an overdose of narcotics.

That's

a goddamned lie!

I'll tell you

some damn lies.

You know who was driving that

chevy that night. That's a damn lie.

You know who took a shot

at me. That's a damn lie.

And your son was a

junkie. That's a damn lie.

I spent 4 years in jail.

That's a damn lie, too?

Do you realize how utterly

preposterous your accusations are, huh?

Bullshit!

Don't you know

my record?

Well, i'm considered from one

end of the state to the other

as an honorable,

humane man!

Ha ha ha!

You just shut up.

You're not

on a senate floor.

You know

there's 6 men dead?

Do you realize that?

6 men?

Why do you keep

giving orders

for those bastards

to come and kill me?

Why, i never gave

anybody orders to kill.

Never.

Come here. Look,

you got secrets

you want to take to

the grave with you,

that's

your privilege.

This is the end

of the line, baby.

What?

Let's go take

a walk in the lake.

Come on. Let go

of me, will you?

Where do you think you're

going, for crying out...

what the hell's

the matter with you?

Hey, what do you

think you're doing?

Let go of me,

you fool!

What...

huh?

Huh?

That pusher

killed my son!

What?

He killed my boy!

What else?

Come on!

That pusher

threatened my life!

I had to kill him!

So? So what?

I killed him!

I can't believe it,

but i killed him!

I... i was driving

my boy's car that night.

I was driving his car!

More! What else?

Huh?

What else?

What?

I shot at you! I shot at you, believe me.

I'm sorry, but it's...

i... i can't believe...

i didn't know what i was

doing. I wasn't thinking.

I wasn't thinking.

I wasn't...

i wasn't thinking.

Let me go!

What are you...

let me go!

Let me go!

Go on!

I wasn't thinking.

Uh!

I wasn't thinking!

I wasn't thinking.

Believe me, i...

i just wasn't thinking.

I... i...

senator, now that

you're thinking,

how come haskins

grabbed me in that garage?

I...

i called morello.

Huh?

He was

the sheriff then.

I know.

And he promised to

straighten everything out.

He handled the gun,

got rid of the cars

and the pusher's body and

everything, including you!

Including me?

Yeah.

At what price?

Signed confession.

This is one frame-up you're

going to pay for, senator.

I know it ain't gonna be

much consolation to you,

but i've been

thinking about you

a thousand times

in that jail.

I swear, we both been in

jail for the last 4 years!

No!

Scum.

You know,

4 years ago,

i would have torn that

damn senator's head off.

Well,

he's dead already.

He's been dead

for 4 years.

Thank god

it's all over.

Well, it will be soon.

You've got enough

evidence to have the mayor

and the senator

arrested.

Ron, let's get this

together, huh?

You're going

to morello.

Yep.

Ron...

what happens

there tonight

just might be more than you can live with.

There's a right way and

a wrong way to do things,

and you and vince have reduced everything

to an animal level.

Who else is going to pay me

for the last 4 years of my life?

For god sakes, what are the

two of you trying to prove?

Bundy, i'm not going to tell you again.

God damn it,

you heard me!

Alert

the state police

and put your men

on double duty.

I want that bastard dead, and i mean now!

Yes! Kill on sight.

Hi.

All right. How much?

How much you want?

Make me an offer.

Well, when the banks

open tomorrow morning...

no, no. Now.

Well, there's

no more than

a couple of thousand

in the desk.

Open it!

Now, if either of

you two are holding,

you'd better unload

right now.

On the floor, quick.

Floor!

Hands over your head.

Ok, not so quick,

mr. Mayor.

What's

the alarm setup?

Well, there's no alarm setup on a desk.

Ha ha ha!

Now, if there is an alarm

setup and it goes off

and it causes

any kind of a rumble,

i'm gonna blow

your honorable head off.

You understand?

Well, there's no sense

in trying to kid you guys.

Yeah, there is a pivot switch

there on the corner of the desk.

You got to throw that to prevent

the alarm from ringing downtown.

Do it.

All right.

I got to get the key

out of the drawer, ok?

Get the key.

All right.

Ok.

Ok, mr. Mayor,

now where's your stash

with the real money

in it, huh?

What are you

talking about?

Come on.

Where's the real bread?

Look, i told you, there was only

$2,000 in the desk, and that's it.

You're

wasting time!

Hey, what the hell do you think

you're going to do with that?

I'm going to cut off your

fingers one at a time.

There's a safe

in the bookcase...

bottom shelf, right-hand

side, middle section.

You son of a b*tch!

You gutless

son of a b*tch!

Ugh!

Oh, you...

The wires run

into the paneling.

Have to rip the whole wall

down to find the alarm.

No, you won't.

Pitch me

your sticker.

His honor's going to tell us all about it.

Ow,

you dirty son of a...

shut up! Shut up!

Shut up!

Now, morello, if i

ask you to explain

einstein's theory

of relativity,

you better not wait

more than 2 seconds

before you

start answering,

or i'm going to cut

you someplace else.

What's

the combination?

Come on. Come on!

2 to the left,

9 to the right...

ah, you do it!

Uh!

All right,

come on, come on.

Now, what's

the alarm setup?

There's no alarm setup

on this one, believe me.

Open it! Come on!

Come here, you...

holy christ, ron,

we found it!

We did?

We found it!

Money! Money!

Tapes, records,

everything!

Use this.

You want all these

papers and files in here?

Yeah, that's

all i want.

Mr. Lewis, i know

what you're after.

Give me the file on me, and

i'll make any deal you want.

Oh,

you ratfink bastard!

Back up towards

the desk!

Drop that gun!

Gun them down!

Gun them down!

Lewis,

drop that gun!

Ok, ron.

Do like he says.

Aah!

It... it can't

happen this way.

It... it...

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

It was

the deputy's gun.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Lewis, that dog
