Scarborough County warrant.
You open up them bars,
I will have him out of your
hair and off to the chair.
Where's the old-timer?
The eclipse stayed home today.
Well, someone should tell
him it's just the moon.
Sun spirit ain't gonna
steal his eyeballs.
Give it a rest, huh?
I want to interrogate him,
but we need some more time.
Ah, Joe, he's looking at
three counts of murder one.
Then the Feds take their turn
for the Charley boy
he got on the Malpaís.
You add in all the attempteds
for you and Chee and the kid,
and blondie's barbecue by Christmas.
It's over.
- Why'd he do it?
- [CAR DOOR CLOSES]
Sweet Mary and Julius, who cares why?
Monsters don't need reasons.
We got enough evidence to
bury him in the Grand Canyon.
He killed one of my
boys. I want him put down.
Benny Charley told me he overheard
his dad and his grandpa
talking about a blond man
blowing up Drumco oil well.
Then a blond man shows up here,
he starts picking off Charleys.
Do you think that's a coincidence?
I think it's a six-year-old talking.
Let me search the trailer,
get some time with him
before you take him.
- Oh, man.
- If I can get at him,
you'll have six more
bodies to hang on him.
I don't need any more bodies
to put him in front of a judge.
You take him now, we'll never
find out who he's working for,
and I can't live with that can you?
Look, Joe, I know where
you're coming from,
but it ain't protocol, what
you're asking, you know?
So you're just gonna take him now
after all I went
through to get him here?
Come on.

you're gonna slip out of.
Alfred Newman.

Trent Ralston.
Yeah, we could sit here and play games,

No one can help a dead man,

Coming down to the
rez and killing Indians
wasn't your idea, was it?
Who else's would it be?
That's what I want to know
who you work for,
who got you into this
mess in the first place,
who told you to blow up that oil well.
What oil well?
You're gonna be executed.
Feds, the sheriff

Well
maybe
I just don't like Indians.

Deloyd Webster he's
a private investigator.
And they had a meeting
the morning our suspect went
after Chee in the hospital.
You think they're working together?
Let's find out.
Um
- how you doing?
- I'm Lieutenant Leaphorn.
- This is Sergeant Manuelito.
- Hello.
Thank you for coming.
- Take a seat.
- Yeah.
Not every day an Indian
cop asks for my help.
What can I do you for?
Well, we're hoping that, um,
you could tell us where
you were last Tuesday
around 10:00 in the morning.
We're trying to establish a timeline.
You're not a suspect, but this man is.
You know him?
Sure, yeah, my Tuesday morning
first time I had the pleasure
of meeting him in person.
- What's his name?
- Said it was Al Newman.
It isn't.
Not surprised.
What was the meeting about?
I was giving him an update.
On?
Hey, now, come on, Lieutenant.
Dealing with a professional.
That shit's confidential.
Client is currently sitting
in my interrogation room.
He's facing four counts of murder one.
So you can either tell
us what you discussed now,
or you can take a seat in
there and wait for the sheriff.
That weird-ass teddy bear?
Four counts of murder and more to come.
Shit.
Dude hired me to find his mother
Linda Maddox, he said her name was,
But the whole thing's kind
of squirrelly, you know?
Kept having me run down
things that didn't check out,
bringing up new places, new leads.
Money's good, though, so
no complaints, you dig?
[GROANS SOFTLY]
Do you know any of these women?
Nope.
This one.
Who is she?
I just told you Linda Maddox.
Took that one myself.
But as you can see,
she ain't old enough to
be that dude's mother.
I need a favor.
[DOOR CLOSES]
This seat taken?
Cops found your little book.
Had my name in it, so they brought me in
and told me what you been up to.
- And what have I been up to?
- No good, baby.
Look, if you did it,
I don't want to know.
I'm not a cop or a lawyer.
As far as I'm concerned,
you are a client
who hired me to do a job.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I think you killed four
people and got caught.
So
what do you think?
Hey, partner, I don't
care about rez business.
I don't work for the rez,
and I'm not beholden to these cops.
I work for you.
And
I found something
I think you might be interested in.
Chandler, Arizona,
just outside of Phoenix.
She's the right age,
right height, right build.
Thing is, her name is not Maddox.
It's Maguire.
And that's why none of
the other mopes you hired
were able to find her.
But I told you
old Deloyd gon' find her.
Here's the deal.
If you want to see your mama
again, even through bars,
you're gonna have to
give them something.
