Speaker 2: I was sorry, keep you waiting, Morgan. It's a out
Speaker 2: of trouble with the driver trying to bribe the copper
Speaker 2: booked him I'm in a hurry of a chance. No,
Speaker 2: I guess uh my saying I'm sorry about your agree.
Speaker 6: Well, I I don't suppose it helps much.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well I am.
Speaker 3: I asked you to come down to the station house,
Speaker 3: Morgan for one reason. I mean, all through this statement
Speaker 3: of yours, and I figured you might want to add
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 2: Such as well. All the traffic Coppo found you claimed
Speaker 2: you was muttering something about uh.
Speaker 1: Chicken when they pulled you out on a number plate.
Speaker 3: So so this statement of yours doesn't mention that at all.
Speaker 2: Now, I know what's going back over something you'd rather forget.
Speaker 2: But if you can help us in any way, I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
Speaker 7: I was just delirious at the time. I guess I
Speaker 7: didn't know what I was saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I supposing you tell me just what happened.
Speaker 2: Once again, car skidded, that's all.
Speaker 3: And you expect me to believe that a racing driver
Speaker 3: of your experience couldn't control that, That's right. And there
Speaker 3: was no question in another car being involved, That's right, Lieutenant.
Speaker 3: If there had been, Morgan, you're giving the driver the
Speaker 3: chance to play chicken again by covering up for him.
Speaker 7: Well, let it go, Lieutenant, you figure i'd cover up
Speaker 7: with the guy who killed my wife and boy.
Speaker 2: No, but I can't see. Suppose there had been a
Speaker 2: fellow coming at me.
Speaker 7: Well, you say, some kid in the hot ride, and
Speaker 7: I'd been able to get his plight numberable.
Speaker 2: What would happened to him? Hm?
Speaker 3: Well, if we'd pull him in, he'd go up on
Speaker 3: a traffic homicide charge, and then the jail sentence a
Speaker 3: stiff one or reform school. Oh that's the theory, but
Speaker 3: not always the practice, Lieutenant, Listen, Morgan.
Speaker 2: The law can be twisted, Lieutenant, it can be beaten. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is just a theory. Then sure worked up about it?
Speaker 7: Listen, Lieutenant, A man who earns is living the way
Speaker 7: I do, driving fast cars and taking risks on a
Speaker 7: track always gets wound up about a thing like this
Speaker 7: game of chicken, and why not?
Speaker 2: The practice ought to be wiped out.
Speaker 7: But because teenagers are the main participants, they get warnings
Speaker 7: and fine.
Speaker 2: What would you do.
Speaker 6: Me?
Speaker 2: Well, it's a it's a good question, lieutenant. What what
Speaker 2: would I do? Uh, I'd give it some foot, let
Speaker 2: you know, and I've got the answer. Do that you
Speaker 2: want the statement of yours to stand? Yeah? Anything else, Lieutenant, No,
Speaker 2: thanks for stopping by. Basically any Lieutenant oh o Morgan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on the left hand door of your car, there
Speaker 3: was a long dan right along the smear of light
Speaker 3: blue paint.
Speaker 2: It couldn't have happened in the accident as you describe it. Now,

Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I wanna know.
Speaker 2: Every place he goes? What's that?
Speaker 6: Of course?
Speaker 3: I'm sure and for some reason of his own, Pete
Speaker 3: Morgan is covering up for the driver.
Speaker 2: That's why I want you to keep following.
Speaker 1: He just might try to handle this himself.
Speaker 2: Wait wait, well s, I gotta tell my pup about this.
Speaker 5: It's a whole month.
Speaker 4: Now it gets worse.

Speaker 7: I take back that one night when you saw me
Speaker 7: crash to the gym. Yeah, and he didn't even bother
Speaker 7: to come back and see if you can help. You

Speaker 2: I was going to use this again.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I came here to kill whoever was driving that car.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I ain't chicken.
Speaker 7: No, no lying back in that chair.
Speaker 2: You're telling yourself you're a big man. I might book
Speaker 2: a hero. Tough guys shoot up.
Speaker 4: The only guys have played chicken at some time or
Speaker 4: nothing happened to them.
Speaker 2: Concentrated on killing yourselves. I wouldn't give a nick. Don't
Speaker 2: do anything, mister Morgan, anything here. It wasn't my fault.
Speaker 2: It was right from the gang. They all said.
Speaker 7: I was yelling, yeah, get him. Have enough backbone to
Speaker 7: let the gang call your chicken. Now you want to
Speaker 7: try and forget the whole thing by unloading the memory
Speaker 7: of that night, Well, that's why I'm leaving you here, Luke,
Speaker 7: to wait for the police.
Speaker 2: They don't want to hear you talk. They'll they will
Speaker 2: want you to repeat.
Speaker 7: It over and over, the whole story until it's set
Speaker 7: in your mind in a way nothing will ever shift.
Speaker 7: You weren't driving the car, Luke, so you'll have an
Speaker 7: easier time in one way.
Speaker 2: I wanted to go back, mister, you.
Speaker 7: Didn't even have the nerve for that.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm leaving you here, Luke, to wait.
Speaker 7: I want you to be able to remember it. All
Speaker 7: I wanted to keep you awake nights. I want you
Speaker 7: to see the look in your father's face when they
Speaker 7: sentence you up.
Speaker 2: You ain't gonna use that, guest, Why don't you put
Speaker 2: it away?
Speaker 7: I'm not using it right? But you I still haven't
Speaker 7: found the answer. Than come on get up here, lieutenant.
Speaker 2: God's just right. The law can take care of you.
Speaker 10: Bigger local will still be there in his house when
Speaker 10: the cuffs come, Morgan.
Speaker 7: If he runs, they'll find him.
Speaker 10: You sure ain't taking any chances, are you?
Speaker 2: You know it wasn't for my hands being tired. I'd
Speaker 2: jump you, Morgan.
Speaker 7: When God sees you, and he will take that rope
Speaker 7: off and replace it with handcuffs.
Speaker 2: One thing won't worry me. Then work on.
Speaker 10: My old man's face when the sentence me. I guess

Speaker 7: in one Peace Corps. But just stop talking.
Speaker 2: I ain't scarning you. No Logan's talking, is he? You know?

Speaker 2: it's all a mistaken.
Speaker 10: Could be.
Speaker 2: I'll cry a little, poor misunderstood teenager. You're a murderer
Speaker 2: rape as surely as I could pull the trigger. How

Speaker 2: finish what you were gonna say? Rafe? You mean about
Speaker 2: not helping you any Oh?
