Bad Influence Page #5

Something has been wrong.

You haven't even spoken to me in days.

And l can't handle it. l'm sorry.

- Leslie, wait. Let's talk about this.

- What?

What?

What?!

What?

lt's noth... it's nothing.

All right. See ya later, Mick.

lt means he followed us.

He knows where we put the body.

- He followed us the whole time?

- Right.

- So he's seen me. He knows where l live!

- (siren)

l can't be in this.

What are we gonna do?

- Michael?

- l've gotta call you right back.

This is what he does - watch me squirm.

And if l'm not squirming enough,

he gives me another jab.

l cannot go back to jail.

l'll die there, l swear to God.

l'm gonna f***ing hang!

And there's not a goddamn thing

l can do about it.

Unless l kill the son of a b*tch.

Of course, l can't kill the son of a b*tch

unless l know where he is.

Now you're thinking like him.

Do you have a copy of The Reader?

- Do you? Where?

- Yeah. Here.

- l know how to find the son of a b*tch.

- No, Michael!

The police have a file on me.

They've gotta have a file on this guy.

We just have to get his fingerprints.

- You'll have to wait here. You know that?

- Yes.

- lf he sees you, everything is f***ed.

- Yeah, l know.

So you'll wait here

while l try to get his prints?

Yeah.

- ''Fun-loving couple seeks petite...''

- You got it.

( ''Look Who's Sorry Now''

by Skinny Puppy)

Buenas noches, Victor.

l feel funny about this, Mr Boll.

l'll get it back to you Monday morning,

as soon as l make the deposit.

l don't know.

l'm sitting on $40,000 cash

for the weekend.

l just don't feel safe.

l would never ask, except l'm stuck.

l don't have anybody else l can go to.

lf it was anybody else but you...

Thank you.

- Be careful, OK?

- Absolutely.

Michael?

Agh! Agh!

Help!

Help!

Michael! Help!

Help!

Michael!

Michael!

Help!

- Hold on.

- Help!

Pismo, what happened?

- He's here. He tried to kill me.

- Wait.

Pismo?

l can't find him any more.

What happened?

OK, l got the address of his friend.

Manhattan Beach.

That's where l met him.

That's where he's staying.

Hey, wait.

Michael! Would you wait up a minute?

- Michael!

- l do not want you with me.

- What is this? Where did you get that?

- Go upstairs and go to bed!

What are you gonna do?

Michael, wait!

- Would you stop for a second?

- Go back inside.

Give me the gun.

Don't f*** with me.

You don't know me any more.

Yes, l do. Give it to me

before you hurt somebody.

Fine. Take it.

Stop! Do not step on the brake!

Go touch the pedal.

- Let me help you.

- You can't help.

Michael, please.

lf you do this, he really has won.

(wind chimes)

Oh!

Me. l'm next.

- l'm gonna get us something to drink.

- OK.

Be right back.

(wind chimes)

You make a very funny face when

you come. Anyone ever tell you that?

- Are you going someplace?

- (groans)

What's that?

Oh. My jacket.

Where were you gonna plant it?

ln the Dumpster at my office?

- Your apartment.

- Oh.

Under the Dumpster, actually.

Drop it.

You and l need to talk.

No. No.

No talking.

You're gonna die with your mouth shut.

Then do it.

You can't, cos l never showed you how.

Now l'm gonna show you.

Oh, sh*t!

Guess l got you now, Mick.

Hah!

F*** you.

Get back.

l said get back!

Drop the knife in the water.

What is this?

lf you were gonna kill me,

you would have at the house.

l said drop the knife in the water.

You're not gonna use that.

l'm sorry.

What?

l'm sorry.

Sorry? You f***, you.

You're sorry about what?

Killing Claire? Trying to kill my brother?

Or maybe for holding a guy down

while l beat him. F*** you, you're sorry!

You didn't beat anyone.

l beat Patterson! You were

passed out in the car the whole time!

Knocked your hand on the pavement

to f*** with you.

F*** with me?

l didn't make you do anything

that wasn't in you already.

People are such hypocrites.

They walk through their whole lives

playing innocent, but they're not innocent.

l showed you that.

That's why l killed Claire, Mick.

My name is Michael.

Did you get that?

Every word.

Oh! Watch out!

l called them.

They'll be here any minute.

Anything?

(sirens)

That was fast.

You can stay here.

What are you going to tell them?

l'm gonna tell them what happened.
