First Kill Page #3

Like what?

The Remington isn't your

pop's old shooter, is it?

So Levi snatches your stick

and turns on my officer.

Yeah, they both fired at the same time.

Officer Stechel got off a few rounds,

couple went into the side

of that barn over there.

How long was this before Richie arrived?

I don't know, maybe five minutes?

He says the boy was already

in the vehicle when he got here.

Doesn't make sense.

Yeah, well, uh, after Levi was shot,

he was in pretty rough shape,

so he went over there to sit down

and collect himself, and I sent Danny

up to the car to get a first aid kit,

and that's what he was doing

when Officer Richie arrived.

This is Officer Tom Davies.

One of my best and brightest.

He'll take care of anything you

need until you find your son.

All right.

How long did it take you

to walk up that ridge?

A few minutes.

You hear any shots on the way up?

Something doesn't feel right.

You think he's working with Levi...

I think he's lying, is what I think,

and if he is, I can't figure out why.

You stay on him, I'll handle Levi.

Listen, I'm not gonna hurt you.

That's what all kidnappers say.

How would you know?

Because I watch TV.

How old are you?

Eleven.

Where are you taking me?

I'm not taking you anywhere.

I'm just trying to stay alive.

Why do you need me?

I made a deal with your dad

to get me my key.

If I let you go,

he's got no reason to do it.

What if he doesn't bring it?

He will.

Yeah, but what if he doesn't?

Haven't thought that far ahead yet.

That's when you start hurting me.

Why'd that cop shoot you?

Uh, it's grown up stuff.

Like making babies?

Yeah. Like making babies.

What are we doing?

Here? Walk.

You better be right about all this.

What'd you want me to do,

tell 'em I killed a cop?

Look, as soon as it's dark out,

I'm gonna go get that key

and find Levi, okay?

He's just a boy, Will.

He's a smart kid, all right?

He's gonna be fine.

I'm gonna make it fine, I promise.

Got a favorite game on that thing?

- Yeah, I got a lot of games.

- What's your favorite?

I don't know.

Well, I got some cool games

where we're going.

Killer Instinct's still my favorite.

My parents don't let me play that.

Ah. More grown up stuff.

Killer Instinct's one

to look forward to.

It's got some crazy sh*t.

Sorry. Gotta watch my tongue.

- Did it hurt?

- What?

- Getting shot?

- Ooh, wee.

Like a motherf***er. Oh.

Sugar snaps, I, uh, did it again.

There you are!

- Who the hell is this?

- It's Danny.

And you're supposed to be

watching the TV, keeping tabs.

- I just checked, nothing new.

- You sure?

After what I've been through today,

I thought Anderson Cooper'd

be checked in to the Beaumont by now.

Jesus.

His ma's the one who fixed me up.

I gotta go pee.

Oh, be my guest, right through there.

Just don't scare the kid.

Still no suspects in Thursday night's...

...Granville First National heist.

Police say they vow to return

all 2.3 million to the bank,

despite it being federally insured.

Bailouts are not the Granville way,

stressed police chief, Marvin Howell.

No, I ain't nobody's taxi to no place.

But he can't stay here the night,

they're gonna find us.

We have to stay here

until I get the key.

Just trust me, I know what I'm doing.

You fall in?

Danny, you come on out now.

Danny!

There you are.

I though you might've try

to slither down the drain.

Oh, uh, that's Adele's mom.

Say hi, Mabel.

What's wrong with her?

What isn't wrong with her?

Diabetes, onset chronic renal failure,

80-pound tumor in her gut.

Eighty pounds?

That's more than I weigh.

Even with health insurance,

she can't afford proper treatment.

All right, yeah, uh, come on.

I'll show you them games

I was talking about.

Daryl, yeah, it's Levi.

Yeah, right, I need a favor.

Uh, you know that help wanted

notice board outside Earl's?

Yeah, that's the one.

Now write this down.

All right, I think it's dark enough.

I'm gonna head off.

Please just bring him home.

I will.

And, Will, if you do encounter Howell,

just... be careful.

This heist is the biggest crime

to hit Granville in decades,

and he's gonna solve it

one way or the other.

Take the jeep.

Thanks, Dottie.

Officer.

- Give me the key.

- What key?

Oh, yeah that key.

Okay.

Here you go.

What the... what the f***?

Beeman.

You're f***in' dead, Beeman!

You're having bad luck

with keys tonight.

F***in' dead, Beeman!

Beeman! Beeman!

I swear to...

How'd you even do that?

Those are good.

Ah... sugar snaps.

Yes.

I knew you'd like it.

Just don't tell my dad, okay?

It's our secret.

Why'd you rob that bank anyway?

Same reason anybody does.

Money.

I figured my cut'd be enough

to cover Mabel's medical care,

till I could put a ring

on Adele's finger.

Mabel's all the family she's got.

She matters to Adele, she matters to me.

So, what went wrong with the robbery?

It was wrong from the start.

Should've known I was there

only to take the fall.

They told me all I had to do

was crawl through that tunnel

they dug and fill the bag.

Everything else was already square.

The alarm, security camera, loot itself.

See, there was this armored truck

rolls through town

every other Thursday

carrying over $2 million.

Feeding the town, two weeks at a time.

Been that way 50 years.

So, you got caught?

I got out of the bank just fine,

but when I drove to the old

feeder mine to make the drop,

there was this car in the lot.

Place has been closed near 10 years.

Should've been empty.

It was probably just some driver

trying to catch some shut eye,

but he spooked me good.

I bolted.

Probably the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

'Cause now I know them

Stechels would've killed me

the second I gave up that bag.

Here, don't worry about that.

Rematch.

Place has been tossed, sir.

Yeah, probably by Charlie.

The girlfriend's place is empty, too?

No one's seen Adele since Thursday.

Does Levi have any family

or friends we can question?

Man likes his solitude.

What else I don't get is

why he took the boy.

He's already got the money, right?

Why take a hostage?

Are you telling me there isn't

one usable piece of evidence

in that entire apartment?

Not unless Levi's got some cancer

we don't know about.

There's a whole stack of

tumor removal pamphlets here.

Cancer?

Chief Howell, line one.

Marvin, how can I help you?

Listen, do you have a patient

named Levi Barrett

on any tumor patient lists over there?

Now, you know I'm not

allowed to tell you that.

Laverne, it's off the record,

just like always.

Nope, no Levi Barrett anywhere.

- What about Adele Fantion?

- No Adele Fantion either.

Oh, wait. We got a Mabel Fantion.

Her primary contact is daughter,

Adele Fantion.

Anybody home?

Drop that gun now.

On the floor, now!

The hell are you doing here?

I was just trying to find my son.

You're here alone?

Who else would I bring?

Didn't I tell you to wait for my call?

You think I'm not doing my job?

No, no, no, that's not what I...
