Mr. Majestyk Page #5

And Bobby Kopas. He was there.

They're not kidding. They do this to me...

they're gonna kill you!

Do you want me to feel better? Go away.

Hide somewhere.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Sure as hell...

you're going to be dead.

Majestyk, I'm sorry about your hired man.

He's not just a hired man.

A deputy was killed last night.

Run over or beaten to death.

About the same time your migrants left.

We'd like to locate them, talk to them.

Why don't you talk to Frank Renda instead?

The Denver police

have got a watch on his place.

He hasn't been there.

We don't know where he is.

You don't know much about anything.

Stay the hell away from me.

We pull out, you know what'll happen.

Well, let's see what's happened

with you hanging around.

So far, he's managed to run off my crew...

shoot up some melons...

break my friend's legs,

and kill one of your deputies.

Don't you talk to me

about police protection.

Keep these hotshots off my property!

You won't get those melons picked

if you're dead.

If I'm dead it won't matter, will it?

Suit yourself. You're on your own.

Lieutenant, I've been on my own

from the beginning.

Are we really pulling out?

We'll let him think so and see what happens.

- By the truck. See him?

- Where?

Damn, he was there a second ago.

Did he go in the house?

He must have. That Mexican girl's inside.

Where are your other boys?

Round the back side of the house.

You keep watching.

I'll go tell Frank what's going on.

Ain't nothing going on, as far as I can see.

Sonny boy, if you try keeping

your eyes open and your mouth shut...

you might see something!

- What do you think?

- I don't know.

I'll tell you one thing, though.

I'm not going to worry about it.

His truck's there.

Yeah?

What the hell are you doing here?

I hitched a ride back.

There's a bunch of guys outside with guns.

They see you come in?

I don't know. I didn't see anybody.

I think you're stuck with me.

Yeah, sure.

Till I figure out a way to get you out of here.

At least I don't think they'll do anything

until Renda shows up.

Do you know how to use this?

You point it and pull the trigger.

Isn't that all you do?

Never mind.

As long as you're here,

sit over by the window.

If you see anything move, just tell me.

Okay.

Picked up his trailer, went home.

Alone?

He was. Kopas says there's a girl there now.

Came before the dude got back.

Man's waiting to get shot,

and he's got his girlfriend there with him.

Probably figured I wouldn't

come for him so soon.

- Maybe.

- Get yourself a drink.

Thank you. We can't just walk in there.

The cops could be waiting for us.

Got to figure something out.

Look, I got no time to fool around

here anymore.

You want to hit him yourself,

wait for the right time.

I don't have the time! You understand?

I don't know how much longer

that Renda's gonna wait.

But I'm not.

I'm going to turn this situation around.

Good morning, Mr. Renda.

Got him for you.

Sure as hell he's in the house.

There's no way to get out.

You seen him?

I figure he's locked himself up in the toilet.

Either that,

or else he's hiding under the bed.

I just asked you a question, man.

Well, no, sir.

Ain't seen no sign of him, but he's in there.

There ain't no other place he could be.

Okay now, we're gonna bring him out.

Nice and quietly.

- Walk him to the car.

- The broad, too.

Mr. Renda, what if he's got a gun?

We'll just have to take it away from him,

won't we?

Now, you're gonna get to go

through that door first.

We'll be right behind you.

Mr. Renda, I...

I ain't never done this kind of thing before.

I mean...

maybe I'm no good at it.

You know what I mean?

You are gonna be just fine.

And I said,

you are going through that door first.

We'll be right behind you.

You're gonna be fine.

You put this stuff in the back of the truck.

Once you start, don't stop

or even slow down till you get to the caf.

- You can't...

- Listen to what I'm saying.

When you get to the caf, stop,

get out as fast as you can, don't look back.

You can't do it alone. You need someone.

What you're doing's enough.

Here are the keys.

Move!

I knew it.

Blue convertible, white top.

Heading west on the highway.

- 7-8 stand by.

- What is it, Hal?

Renda's on his tail.

They're going west on the highway.

- Okay, put everything we got on it.

- Yes, sir.

Call the airport. Get me a helicopter.

What the hell you doing?

You're going the wrong way.

There's a highway on the other side

of that field.

- They're probably headed for that.

- Straight ahead. First road on the left.

Keep going and don't lose 'em.

Stop!

Move over.

Guess there's no way

to get rid of you, is there?

I told you, you were stuck with me.

Tell them to look down there.

Take a look down that way.

This is his hunting country.

He brought us here.

It looks like we're only

a couple of miles from the lodge.

Do you want to go to the lodge, or what?

He sucked us in.

That melon picker sucked us in.

- Come in, F-4J.

- The 201 now heading south.

Looks like a blue convertible

with a white top...

about a half a mile ahead of the pickup.

And he's really moving.

Just a minute,

he's pulled a disappearing act on us.

They must've turned off on a trail

through the timber.

Hang on and I'll give you some coordinates.

I never seem to catch

the beginning of anything.

Somebody want to tell me what's going on?

- Frank?

- Just relax, will you?

Well, should I start packing or what?

You know, I think he's in those trees.

- You're seeing something I don't see.

- Will you shut up?

Hand me those glasses, Wiley.

Get over here.

Come on, Frank, let's finish it!

I got work to do.

How about this guy?

He's anxious?

Wiley, you're going out to talk to him.

Where are you?

- Well, it's been nice talking to you.

- Hey, Wiley.

Yeah?

Come here.

You go back in there and tell Frank...

if he wants to settle this thing between us,

we haven't got much time.

The police are on their way.

You know, this really hasn't got anything

to do with me.

Who's in there with him?

Lundy and Kopas.

Nancy.

Take her and go back to the highway.

Wait for me there.

- What are you going to do?

- I don't know yet. I'll take this shotgun.

Where'd she go, Mr. Renda?

He must have grabbed her.

Yeah.

Maybe they left. And he took her with 'em.

He's still there.

Let's go upstairs.

- Maybe we can spot him from there.

- Yeah.

I didn't tell you to come upstairs.

You go downstairs and watch.

I'll do it, Frank.

You spot him, I'll flush him out for you.

Lundy, he's going back in the woods.

- Get him!

- Where?

You never saw him at all.

You just told Lundy that.

You used Lundy.

You used him to set him up.

I don't even know what I'm doing here.

I don't give a damn about that melon picker.

This is none of my business, you know.

This is none of my business.

I don't want nothing

to do with this anymore!

Stay away from me.

- You get out there.

- No.
