Mr. Majestyk Page #4

- No crews.

Just some migrants he hired, that's all.

Go up a ways, and turn around.

How long's that been here?

They're always patching the road,

getting in the way.

How long?

I don't know. Two or three days, sir, I think.

Don't you know cops when you see them?

Cops? Are you sure?

I never thought about cops being around.

They'll get tired

in a couple of days and leave.

Then we can run those Mexicans off.

Wouldn't be no sweat to that.

Pull over.

Pull over and stop.

Okay, a**hole...

get out!

What, right here?

My car's all the way over in Edna.

That's a four- or five-mile walk.

Come here, you.

I ain't known you a half hour,

and you're talking sh*t to me...

out of the side of your face.

I say I want nobody working for this guy,

and he's got a dozen people living here!

The cops set up a grandstand

to watch the show...

and you don't even know they're cops.

I don't see where you're doing me

any good at all.

But I watched him for you, didn't I,

so he wouldn't run?

Yeah.

Well, you better run off now.

And you better do just like Lundy says.

And don't you ever, ever...

talk no sh*t to me again!

Do you hear?

Yes, sir.

Let's get out of here.

Hi, Frank. Good to have you back.

Hey, man, that was beautiful.

You beat them again.

What are you guys, just standing around?

- Hello, Richard.

- Wiley.

- Hello, Frank.

- Hello, Dick.

Hey...

- How do you like it?

- It's not bad.

It looks like a dude ranch.

It belongs to a stockbroker

I once represented.

Yeah? And where's he? In jail?

Lewisburg, as a matter of fact.

I figured that.

Conspiring, they say,

to defraud the United States government.

I'll have one, too. I can use it.

Frank, where you been?

Looking at melon fields?

I've been busy.

You're out on a $5,000 bond, pending

a District Court examination in 10 days.

What are you talking about?

I thought I was clear.

You are. But they have to

go through the motions.

Frank, this is not the time

to do anything impulsive.

There's a melon I've got to pick.

Also, there are some very big offers

that have come in.

Big offers from big people.

Now what am I supposed to tell them?

- You tell them I got something to do.

- Frank.

Hey, if they don't like it...

tough sh*t.

Okay?

Wiley!

Vincent, I think we're going to do it.

If we can keep him from goofing off.

Thank you.

Hey, didn't somebody say something

about a cold beer after work?

What about you?

Sure.

- You buying?

- Damn right.

I'm gonna be a rich man in about a week.

- Hey, Larry, what about you and the missus?

- Oh, no.

Ma'am and me got more important things

to do. We are going to bed.

You got that much energy, back to the field.

Good night.

Now where in the hell's he going?

He must have got hit by a truck.

Or something.

You want to wait for him?

With a dead cop across the road?

- Let's talk to the help.

- Right.

Come on, get outside. Get her out. Get out!

Where is he?

I don't know. I thought he was home.

No!

Where is he?

If we knew, I would tell you.

Bring him along.

Ask them.

Amigos! We're looking for your boss.

El jefe.

Who wants to tell me where he's at?

They don't know nothing.

We're wasting our time.

Tell them they don't work here anymore.

You all don't work here anymore.

You got two minutes to get in your cars

and get out, now.

- We been...

- Keep talking, you get your head busted.

- Let's go.

- All right, kids, come on.

Well, the man's been busy.

Yeah.

You know, he said all he wanted

was to get his melons in.

Get the man's melons in.

You heard him. Get the melons in.

Go ahead.

Was she blonde, blue eyes?

Blonde, most of the time.

Do you ever put your hair up in rollers?

Once in a while. Why?

When I picture my ex-wife,

I think of her with rollers.

She was always fiddling with her hair,

washing it, that sort of thing.

Do you have any kids?

A daughter. 7 years old.

Do you miss her?

I haven't seen them in two years.

They moved to Los Angeles.

Are you thinking about them?

No, I was thinking you might be worthwhile

getting to know better.

Well, I'll fill out an application.

You read it. See if I pass.

Acting tough again.

Fact is, you're a very pretty girl.

If you want to go to bed with me,

why don't you say it?

Don't want to say it, I want to do it.

Come on.

I have to go to the ladies' room,

if it isn't locked.

If it is, I'll kick the door down.

How you doing there, buddy?

Okay?

I just came by to tell you something.

Maybe you know it already.

But I want to make sure. I'm gonna kill you.

Hey, there's a couple of cops over there.

Yeah.

Otherwise you might be dead already.

When is this big event gonna take place?

What's the difference?

Tomorrow. Next week.

You can hide in the basement

of that police station.

But I'm gonna get you, my baby.

Seems like there's no use

trying to get on your good side.

Hey, why don't you call a cop?

The light's been left on.

Nancy!

I took my wife and the kids to her mother's.

- Did you talk to the police?

- Sure.

They ask me questions.

But what can I tell them?

Some men came.

I didn't know who they were.

They say leave, or get our heads busted.

Just like that.

Do one thing for me.

Take this load in.

Drop her off at the bus station.

What do you mean, one thing?

I'll come back and get

the whole damn thing picked.

No, it's finished, Larry.

A lot of them are still good.

Yeah, Larry's gonna take this load in.

He'll drop you off in town.

You can catch a bus there.

Why?

That guy, Renda, will be back.

There's no reason

for you to be here anymore.

Get yourself ready.

Hey, Vincent.

I've been in a car that was shot at,

and the guy next to me was killed.

Another time, a truck chased a bunch of us,

trying to run us over.

I've been in a union hall when they

threw a firebomb and blew the place up.

I don't need anyone looking out for me.

Vincent...

If you don't want me here,

now, that's something else.

I don't want you here.

The bus to La Junta always stops here.

Don't worry about missing it.

Thanks, Larry. Good luck to you.

Nancy, later you come back

and see us, okay?

That's not Majestyk, that's Larry Mendoza.

Yeah, I recognize him.

Boy just didn't listen to me.

Hey, Larry.

You were told to get out and not come back.

Ain't that right?

I'm just helping my friend,

delivering some melons.

You get a chance to run and don't use it.

Ain't that right?

I just get rid of these melons,

and I am gone.

You never see me again.

Come on, Larry.

Honest to God.

- I just work for the guy, that's all.

- That's right.

For Larry Mendoza.

Tell me what room you think he'll be in...

when they bring him out of surgery.

- Where is he?

- He's in there.

The warehouse guy didn't see anything.

He didn't even see the car.

What'd they do to him?

They broke his legs.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Larry.

I'm real sorry, man.

Vincent.

Larry, who were they?

Do you know them? Know who they were?

Yeah. Same people who came last night.
