memorizing names and dates. Jack and other brass are<br />
also here along with a stenographer. So's Bud. One of<br />
these guys killed Stensland. Through tinted glass, the<br />
three suspects in three different rooms.<br />
EXLEY<br />
Casitas Youth Camp... Coates<br />
twenty-two, a boxer... Manager<br />
saw them burning clothes.<br />
Satisfied, Exley sets the report down.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Ed, I want confessions.<br />
EXLEY<br />

As Exley steps into the #1 room, Jack joins Dudley.<br />

JACK<br />
You think golden boy can handle<br />
it, Cap?<br />
DUDLEY<br />
I think you'll be surprised what<br />
Edmund's capable of.<br />
Exley closes the door. Ray Coates is cuffed to a chair,<br />
dressed in baggy County denims. One eye swollen shut,<br />
lip split, a smashed nose with one nostril split.<br />
Exley unlocks his cuffs. drops cigarettes and amtches<br />
on the table. As Coates rubs his wrists...<br />
EXLEY<br />
They call you Sugar Ray because<br />
of Ray Robinson?<br />
(no answer)<br />
They say Robinson can throw a<br />
four punch <strong>com</strong>bination in one<br />
second. Do you believe that?<br />
Coates just stares at him.<br />
EXLEY<br />
You're twenty-two, aren't you, Ray?<br />
COATES<br />
Say what and so what.
