Faster Page #5

Synopsis: A lone man, recently released from prison, seeks out the people from his past who he believes betrayed him. While he forces each to atone for their sins, he must also face what meting out vengeance will do to his immortal soul. Meanwhile, he's not the only one looking to settle old scores. Hired by the man responsible for the events which lead him to prison, an eccentric contract killer follows his every move. Scenes of them crossing paths, sometimes violently, are interspersed with the assassin's self-realizations of how to deal with struggles within his own life. As if old enemies & hired guns aren't enough, a young female detective begrudgingly works alongside a veteran investigator looking to simply survive his last two weeks on the force before retirement, as they seek out the brazen ex-con who has been blazing a path of gasoline-powered destruction in his vintage Chevelle.

l know the devil

got your heart twisted

with vengeance and hate.

The Lord is merciful.

He sees in your soul.

Fragile, ain't it?

That moment, that sets us

on our road to Damascus.

Sermon's over.

Can you at least find it in your heart

to forgive me for what l did?

l can't.

That's all right.

That's all right.

Because l forgive you

for what you're about to do.

[SlNGlNG

''JOHN THE REVELATOR'']

Lord, see into this man's heart.

He's good inside.

Oh, Lord, save this man's soul.

l know you see his heart.

[EVANGELlS CONTlNUES SlNGlNG]

Release him from the bondage

of hatred and vengeance, Lord.

[CONTlNUES SlNGlNG]

[EVANGELlST GRUNTS]

Go back to your family.

[]

That's one hell of a peashooter

you got there.

How's the recoil?

[]

[RlNGlNG]

Yeah.

ClCERO:
Where are you?

lnyo County at the reservoir.

They're here. Both of them.

What? Did you call for backup?

There's no time for that.

Okay, don't do this.

l'm sorry

l keep stepping on your case.

ClCERO:
l don't care about that.

Want you to do me a favor.

lf l don't make it out of this,

tell my son that

his daddy went out like a man.

l am on my way.

Please, just wait for me.

l'm just going with the flow.

Damn.

[FAX MACHlNE BEEPS]

Aren't you gonna

reach for it?

Come on.

Sporting chance.

l've got nothing against you.

l've been trying to kill you for days

and you've got nothing against me?

l'm starting to think you don't

take me very seriously, friend.

DRlVER:

What do you want from me?

How about a little respect? Hey?

A little professional courtesy

from a peer.

Some acknowledgment

of my skills.

You've got issues.

Screw you.

l win.

[KlLLER CHUCKLES]

You think you're done?

You can't put it together, can you?

There must be one more.

The one who hired me.

He's still alive.

l'm gonna kill you all.

Drop the gun.

Don't move.

Slowly.

Put the gun down.

No.

Put the goddamn gun down.

No! This is my job!

l finish my job.

How you gonna finish this

when you're dead?

So you're the guy that hired me.

You shouldn't

have done that.

l had to finish what l started.

Why'd you hire me then?

l didn't think l was up to it.

After you missed him,

l figured l should get involved

before he came gunning for me.

He didn't even know about you.

l figured that out when

he didn't finish me off

at the hospital.

His brother's girlfriend

was my informant down in L.A.

She told me about the job.

Hired some more of my informants

down there.

They helped me take down

their score.

So, what now?

Now?

l ride off into the sunset.

Hey.

l forgot to pay you.

You know,

l don't get you.

Why do you put yourself

through all this sh*t

for one lousy dollar?

lt's my price.

Call it a hobby.

You know what, keep it.

l didn't earn it.

Don't contact me again,

l'm done.

Yeah, me too.

[LlNE RlNGlNG]

MALLORY [OVER HEADSET]:

Detective Cicero?

ClCERO:

Yeah, l can't reach him.

Okay, hopefully he'll turn up.

We've got units en route,

we'll see you shortly.

ClCERO:

Wait a minute.

You didn't flip him this case,

did you?

l didn't flip him the case.

ls that what you thought?

He asked for it, right?

He begged for it.

And l felt sorry for him, so l caved.

ls there a reason why

we're talking about this

right now?

No. No reason.

Okay, l'll see you shortly.

''Go with the flow,'' my ass.

Marina? Hey, it's me, honey.

Well, l got him, l closed the case.

Yeah, yeah, l'm fine.

As a matter of fact, l feel perfect.

Better than l ever have.

MARlNA:
Yeah?

Yeah, and l'm gonna

get rid of the other stuff too.

Don't you worry, l promise.

l'll be home in a couple hours.

Listen, you're not gonna

believe this.

and l think l got you figured out.

We're gonna be fine.

Yeah, honey, it's over.

l wanna start brand-new, honey.

[GUNSHOT]

[COUGHlNG]

[COP GRUNTlNG]

How?

Metal plate.

l can't feel anything.

And l'm the demon

who crawled up out of it.

[LlNE RlNGlNG]
