Deja Vu Page #9

I'm the only one that knows

where he's gonna be

and exactly what he's gonna do.

How do you know that?

I mean, how'd you know

those things about me?

Well, for the sake of argument,

let's just say that the government

has a special device

that allows me to know

what's gonna happen ahead of time.

Then how come you didn't know

I was gonna pull a gun on you?

I did. No, I didn't.

- Is that okay?

- Yeah, it's good.

One second.

- I think that's gonna stay. Is that okay?

- Yeah, it's great.

Okay.

- All right. I'm not very good at this.

- You're very good.

What's the matter?

Jesus.

I haven't changed a thing.

I gotta go. And you gotta go with me.

Come on.

What?

- I thought you said I was safe now.

- I was wrong. I was wrong.

You gotta go with me now. Right now.

Wait, wait, wait! Don't answer it.

Don't answer it. I'll prove it to you.

That's your friend Beth calling.

Let the machine pick it up.

She's gonna say,

"Hi, Claire. It's Beth. Are you there?

I'm sorry to call you so early,

"but when you didn't call me last night

I got worried."

Claire? Hi, it's Beth. Are you there?

I'm sorry to call you so early,

but you said you were gonna call me

when you got home,

and when you didn't,

I started to get worried.

- Beth, is this a joke?

- Oh, hey, hey! No.

Like I said, I was just worried

about you, that's all.

I can't talk right now.

Someone's here. I'll call you later.

Claire...

Believe me, the only one

you're gonna be safe with is me.

- Okay.

- Let's go.

I don't understand.

Why not just call the police

and have them arrest him at the dock?

He'll set the bomb off

right there on the spot.

He can't know he's been compromised

until it's too late for him

to do anything about it.

He'll set the timer, walk away on foot,

get on his motorcycle

and ride to the Crescent City Bridge

to watch.

Okay, then what?

You defuse the bomb?

Then I defuse the bomb.

There's my truck.

- All these people.

- There he is.

Where?

You see the military jacket

coming this way?

It's just what you said.

All right,

you see those officers behind you?

- Yeah.

- When the ferry pulls off,

I want you to tell them about the bomb,

all right?

- They'll believe me?

- They better believe you.

- Come on, they'll arrest me.

- They won't arrest you.

They'll take you into custody.

You'll be fine. That's a good thing.

Don't turn around.

Doug...

Be careful.

Your attention, please.

Passengers are not allowed

on the car deck

when the ferry is in motion.

Sir! Sir.

Excuse me, sir, you're gonna

have to move to the upper deck.

- Passengers aren't allowed here.

- Okay.

Can't believe it. They're right on time.

Let's get these boys to their party.

Mama!

Excuse me, sir? Sir!

There's no passengers allowed

on the car deck during transit.

No passengers allowed, sir.

Let's go! Let's go!

It's destiny, Oerstadt.

Satan reasons like a man,

but God thinks of eternity.

What did you say?

I'm saying it's gonna take

a little divine intervention here, buddy.

I'm coming out.

What'd you say?

I thought you were a patriot.

Oh, I am.

Patriotism requires sacrifice.

- I'm willing to sacrifice.

- Yeah? Who? Her? Me?

You're willing to sacrifice others,

but not yourself.

The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed

with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Right.

Sometimes a little human collateral

is the cost of freedom, isn't it?

Who are you, Oerstadt?

Who are you?

It's not supposed to be this way.

You all right?

- I killed him.

- No, you didn't. I did.

It's 10:
48

on Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras.

Now let's go back in time to 1964.

- We're gonna die.

- No, we're not.

...on 105.3 FM,

the heart of New Orleans.

Hit the gas.

Hit the gas!

Put your hands in the air

and step out of the vehicle now!

We get out now, everybody dies.

You have until the count of three!

Hit it.

One...

But my daughter's on that ferry.

Please. Please.

Oh, God, my daughter!

Chrissie!

Chrissie!

- Oh, Chrissie! Chrissie!

- It's my mom!

Mom!

Ma'am? We're gonna need you

to stay right here.

Someone's on the way over

to take a statement

and ask you some questions, okay?

- Bobby.

- Doug.

- How you doing?

- All right.

Got a live one over here.

Pulled her out of the drink.

Somehow involved in all of this.

Okay.

- How you doing?

- Doug?

That's right.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Have we met?

Yeah. Yeah, we have.

It's okay. Come on.

Come on.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Okay. I'll get you warmed up.

What is it?

What is it?

Doug.

What if you had to tell someone

the most important thing in the world,

but you knew they'd never believe you?

I'd try.

No.
