A Perfect World Page #7

I'm sorry.

I know you are.

[GROANlNG]

Truth is, if it had to happen, l'm...

I'm glad it was you.

As opposed to someone

I don't know, I mean.

All things considered...

...I feel pretty good.

Listen up, boys!

You better run.

No, Phillip.

I need me a time machine

with a loud radio...

...to take me where I'm going.

Walking's for squares.

OFFICER:

Hand me that shotgun.

- You don't think he'll hurt the boy?

- No, he won't.

Garnett. Tom Hendricks, FBI.

- You have one of our men with you?

- We do.

- We cordoned off the area.

- Tight?

Watertight. Like a frog's p*ssy.

Sorry, ma'am.

No doubt an observation based

on personal experience.

Where are they?

By the pond,

behind that dogleg tree.

Officers are in a circle

around them 100 yards away.

You got no problem

if l handle this?

What say we both handle it?

- Bradley.

- Sir?

Get me a megaphone.

- One other thing, chief.

- Huh?

Haynes is wounded.

The boy gut-shot him.

You're kidding?

Red. Megaphone.

[MEGAPHONE CHIRPS]

Butch Haynes. This is Red

Garnett of the Texas Rangers.

I know you're hurt.

We got 20, 30 armed men up here.

Look around,

you'll see I'm shooting you straight.

BUTCH:
For me? I'm touched. I'm afraid

you'll have to back it up a step or two.

I'm headed to Mexico!

You're headed the wrong direction.

Lying to them, of course.

I'll tell you what. You let the

boy go, you and I'll talk about it.

Well, I appreciate the offer, captain!

But you know I can't do that!

If you and your pals

back out of here, well...

...I'll drop the boy at the border!

If you don't,

I'll shoot him in the head!

I mean it!

Don't look at me like that.

I don't even have a gun.

What did you do

with the pistola anyway?

Dropped it in the well.

That's good thinking.

They get away,

we're right back where we started.

- He kills the boy, he'll get the chair.

- He's killed two in two days.

- We don't know he killed them.

- Well, he wasn't sitting at home.

- Besides, who killed Pugh? Casper?

- All right, knock it off!

By the look of things,

it won't make too much difference anyway.

- Concentrate on getting the boy.

BOBBY LEE:
Where do you want me, sir?

Right here on the hood.

Can you handle that one?

Yes, I can, sir. Excuse me.

See, Phillip?

Dreams do come true.

- There's your rocket ship.

- You think I'll get a ride in it?

Today's the day.

- That would be the boy's mother.

- Go help her out, Adler.

[GUN C*CKS]

All right, Butch.

We got the boy's mama here.

- What's wrong?

- It's my mama.

Now that you got yourself

a ghost suit...

...think she'll let you

trick-or-treat?

I got to do one house.

Come here.

Put your... Put your mask back on.

Turn around and scare them.

Hello? Please. He's my only son.

I'll give you money, whatever l can.

Please! I just wanna

take him home with me.

[MEAGAPHONE BEEPS]

Goddamn this son of a b*tch.

- Let me see it, Red.

- Here, Bradley.

You ready to go home?

Yes, sir.

Hey, captain! You got any candy?

What?

Candy! You know, Halloween candy!

Popcorn balls...

...caramel apples, gum!

Sh*t like that.

You all hungry?

You find me some candy...

...I'll deliver up a ghost!

- I got it.

- Get candy.

ADLER:

Okay, everybody! Got any gum, candy?

Any Juicy Fruit? Put it in there.

Let's go! Come on.

We ain't got any time.

His old lady's gotta swear to take him

trick-or-treating every year!

- You all set?

- You say when, l'll say dead.

- Give me your list.

- Butch?

Give me your list. Come on.

Come on, come on.

BUTCH:

One more thing!

She's gotta promise

to take him to the fair...

...for roller coasters

and cotton candy whenever he wants!

I wanna go home. My mama's not bad.

She gives me those things.

Don't kid a kidder, Phillip.

I know just...

I know just how you feel, Phillip.

She promises!

Make her say it!

I... I promise!

- Can we trust her?

- She's a real good mama.

When you get home, you hide this.

You're not bad, are you, Butch?

Yeah.

Now, listen, Buzz.

I want you...

All right, now I want you

to step out there real slow...

...keeping your paws in the air.

All right, now I want you

to strut over to them cops...

...and yell, "Trick or treat."

- What are you gonna do?

- Something will come to mind.

Bye, Phillip.

It's been one hell of a ride.

All right, captain!

Make way for

Casper the Friendly Ghost!

Friendliest ghost I know.

Put your mask on.

Put your paws in the air.

Now go tell them like l told you to.

ADLER:

Red....

Take a look at this.

Oh, it's him....

Come on, boy. Keep walking.

Keep walking, boy!

- Call your boy.

- Run! Phillip, run!

Phillip, honey, come on! Phillip!

- He thought better of releasing him.

- It doesn't mean that.

Personally, l think we negotiated

a pretty fair deal.

Unless there's something else

you want?

Do they want to shoot you?

- Stay on ready.

- Yes, sir.

RED:

Well, I've seen it all now.

- What's he up to?

- Damned if I know.

He's giving himself up.

Keep in mind, he still has a gun.

So I guess...

I guess that's it for Alaska, Phillip.

Chief, we got an armed killer

and an innocent boy out there.

- You clean?

- As a whistle.

All right, you keep him locked down.

Don't squeeze till I say when, you hear?

Where the hell you going?

I'm unarmed...

...so throw your gun down.

If I had a pistola...

[GROANS]

...I'd be headed

in the other direction.

My partner here, he got...

He got rid of the evidence.

Do I know you, friend?

No. Not really.

Huh.

Well, look, l wanna talk to the boy.

Then we can take care of business.

How's that?

Only take a second.

Okay.

I wanna give you something.

Hold him. If he makes a move....

Give it a second.

Maybe someday you'll get to go...

He's going for his weapon!

No!

- Oh, God, no!

- Keep everybody back!

- Unh.

- Butch!

Damn, Buzz.

Shot twice in the same day.

No need to worry.

Can't hurt nobody now.

GLADYS:

Oh, my God!

BRADLEY:
Doesn't have a gun, chief.

PHILLIP:
Butch!

[GROANlNG]

Butch! Butch!

Butch!

Butch! Butch!

Butch!

Butch!

[lNDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO]

- Whoa, whoa! Back off!

- Easy, Red!

- What the hell was that all about?

- I didn't say "when."

[GRUNTS]

Goddamn it!

Red, l thought he had a gun too.

There was just no way of knowing.

[HELICOPTER ENGINE STARTING]

You know you did

everything you could...

...don't you?

I don't know nothing.

Not one damn thing.
