First Kill Page #5

I was gonna grow old with these people.

Jesus.

Now, here I am, about to retire,

and I feel like...

Like it's a different life.

It's tragic what happened that day.

I couldn't believe when

I came around that bend

and saw him at the bottom

of that ravine.

I scrambled down the cliff

as fast as I could.

I thought you heard him fall.

His yell, that's what

it said in the paper,

that's what Dottie told me.

Good memory.

I guess you're right.

It's been a long time since

I thought about that day.

All I'm trying to say is, you were...

You were just lucky to

have really good parents.

Yeah, well, I just wish

I'd gotten to know him

as well as you had.

What are you waiting for?

Geez, where is she with that firewood?

You know, I also brought some of this.

Who doesn't love those

little marshmallows?

Levi!

It's Will Beeman!

Come on.

It's all here!

You come alone?

Yeah.

You got the money?

I got your money, you got my son?

- Should we let him in?

- Yeah!

I'm coming in.

- That full?

- It's all here.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, kiddo.

Are you okay?

He didn't hurt you, did he?

No, no, no.

He's not the real robber, Dad.

- Well, he is, but...

- I know.

You got the money?

Possibly.

Are we good? Can we go?

Levi.

Any chance I can get my rifle back?

Kinda special to me.

Come on, let's go.

- Good luck, Danny.

- Good luck, Levi.

Who is that?

- Who is that?

- I tried.

- Okay, you tried?

- I tried to come alone...

- Who is that?

- It's Howell.

- You brought Howell?

- Look, I tried, all right?

He's behind the robbery.

Hey, Danny, you just stay back there.

The mastermind of

the whole goddamn thing.

- What?

- I told you not to bring any cops!

God damn you, city boy.

Come on out, now!

There's some bad news

about your girlfriend!

She's dead!

Hey! You hear me?

Come on! It's all over!

Don't do it, man.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, hey look at me.

Danny, Danny, look at me.

It's okay, all right?

Hey, we got this, all right?

Come on.

Give me my f***in' money!

Come on, let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go!

All right, let's go.

Come on, Dad!

Aw, f***.

On the ground, b*tch.

Ah, sh*t.

No one can find Richie anywhere.

Laura knew that Will

was at the post office,

which means Richie

probably knows now, too.

So is that where we should go?

No, look, look.

One mile due north of the mill run

and Grugen Hollow intersection,

we go here.

Okay.

How's that?

Come on, Tom, we ain't got all day!

Move it!

All right, here it is, come on.

All right, I need you climb up

there and wait for me, okay?

Yeah.

You're gonna get your

body flat on the floor,

and don't make a sound or move

a muscle until I get back.

- You got it?

- Got it.

- All right, I love you, kiddo.

- Love you, too.

Go do it.

Come on, let's go, now!

All right, now lay down.

Okay.

Richie, get that kid!

- Okay!

- No!

No! No, no!

Room for two up there?

- You let her go!

- That's my money!

I'm not letting her go!

This is over, Howell!

What are you some kind of hero, now?

I got news for you, Billy.

It doesn't work that way!

See, I know about heroes,

I protect this entire community.

You f***ing steal from it.

It's federally insured, you idiot.

The bank will give you

back every last cent.

What's a lousy two million

for all I've done

for the people of Granville?

Now throw that f***in' bag over here?

Uh-uh. No more.

I'm gonna count to three.

You need to let her go.

You can count to three?

Who the f*** do you think you are?

Now get the f*** out of here before

I put one in your f***in' head.

One.

I gave my life to this town,

and what thanks do I get?

Two.

I'm gonna put two in her

f***in' head, right now.

Let's see if you got the precision

to splatter my brains and not hers.

Go ahead, you're a killer now, right?

Since you shot Charlie yesterday?

You got all that juice

flowing through you?

I remember how that felt,

the first time.

Right after I pushed

your dad off that cliff.

Three.

Put the gun down!

Danny! Danny, no!

Oh my God, isn't this precious?

- Danny!

- I got the shot, Dad.

No!

You know what they say about

women and children first.

Danny, no, no!

I can do it!

Put the gun down, son.

Danny, Danny!

Levi!

Levi, come on!

Danny, Danny!

- Mom!

- Danny!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Oh!

My goodness.

It's pretty exciting, we were able

to recover all the money for the bank...

Why don't you add this

to your collection?

Think it belongs here anyways.

Besides, Danny doesn't need

to shoot anything

to prove how tough he is.

He's already more of a man than most.

- You good, kiddo?

- I'm good, Dad.

That's my boy.
