A Simple Plan Page #10

---

Couple more hours,

we'll be home.

You can do this, and it's

gonna be perfect for you.

And you got something-

You got something to go on for,

Hank, and you know it.

I don't wanna be here.

No.

No. Please, no.

Come on, Hank.

Let me do something.

You just tell

the little girl that I-

That, you know, that bear-

bear is from me.

You know?

If you love me, Hank,

you'll do it.

I'll give you a chance.

I won't look at you.

I won't look at you, Hank,

but if you don't do it...

Then I'm gonna do it,

And then we're gonna both

gonna be f***ed, aren't we?

We don't need

to both be f***ed.

I'll-I'll do it, Hank,

if you don't. No!

I'm telling you I will.

Boy, it's-it's funny

About f-finding

this f***ing plane, wasn't it?

Jacob!

Oh, Jacob!

To someone who's

been properly trained,

There are many ways

to detect a liar.

The shifty eyes

of detective novels

Have a certain

basis in fact.

A wooden

or stilted tone.

Gestures that seem

either slightly robotic

Or else

unnecessarily expansive.

Details tend to be

vague, slippery.

Sometimes the suspect

will cover his mouth

With his hand

when he speaks.

Did you notice

anything like that

In the guy

you shot today?

He was lying to you,

Mr. Mitchell.

He wasn't

from the FBI.

His name was

Vernon Bokovsky.

His brother was in

that crashed plane

You found

out there today.

Bokovski

and his brother

Were the guys

who kidnapped

That McMartin girl

last November.

Remember the one they shot

and dumped in the lake?

$4.4 million in ransom money.

Want to touch it?

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Pretty hefty,

huh?

That's only part of it.

We're still

tracking down the rest.

Yeah. It's just

a matter of time.

A matter of time?

Well-well, we had

the money for 2 hours

Before the kidnappers

picked it up.

Couldn't mark it.

We were afraid they'd

detect the markings

And kill the girl,

so, um...

We put together

a task force of 20 agents,

And they wrote down

As many of the serial

numbers as they could.

We managed to record

just

That's 1 out of 10 of the bills.

Now it's simply a matter

of waiting for

the numbers to turn up.

Can't go around

passing $100 bills

Without eventually sticking

in someone's memory.

Sarah:
No. No.

No, Hank. Hank!

Oh, Hank!

Hank, we can

run with it.

We could leave

the country.

We could go

to South America

Or to Australia

or someplace far away.

Please, Hank!

Aah! Aah.

There are days

When I manage not to think

of anything at all...

Not the money...

Or the murders...

Or Jacob...

Days when Sarah and I

Try to pretend that we're

just like everyone else...

As if none of it

had ever happened.

But those days

are few and far between.
