Hero Wanted Page #5

---

Swain wouId make me

out to be the hero,

I'd impress the girI,

and he'd make a IittIe money.

It's obvious how stupid I was.

Yeah, so, lover boy.

Think your nigga was gonna rob

a bank and not take any loot?

Find someone else to feed

your heroic addiction, f***ing f*ggot!

And forgive us our sins

as we forgive

those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation;

deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom

and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.

Turning away isn't an option.

It is now up to me

to make things right...

whatever the Cost.

He's been in and out of trouble

since he was a kid.

Dad got killed in Vietnam,

Mom was a junkie,

and then somehow

he gets his life together,

gets married, has a good job.

Listen to this.

He's driving along with his wife,

bus driver has a heart attack,

hits the car,

they end up in the pond.

She drowns while

he's trying to save her,

and on top of it, she was pregnant.

Jesus Christ,

this guy's had a shitty life.

lt doesn't change the fact

that we got two dead guys,

he looks like hell...

You see that mark around his neck?

Matches the wire

from Lynch's garage.

l know. We gotta bring him in.

l know.

Everything's gonna be

all right, okay? l promise.

You just got caught up

in the middle of some sh*t.

lt'll be over really soon, okay?

What you doing there, stud muffin?

Trying to make her

your little girlfriend?

l'm just talking to her.

There's 900 numbers

for that kind of sh*t.

You cryin'?

'Cause you become a liability,

and l'll kill you myself.

Don't worry about him.

lt's gonna be okay.

Okay, don't worry.

lt's all right.

Okay?

l'm gonna make sure

l get you out of here.

Don't worry, all right?

lt's gonna be okay. 'Kay?

When we're done with Liam,

what do we do with the little girl?

What do you think

we're gonna do with her?

Christ, we can't kill her.

Aye, so you have

a better suggestion?

Yeah, l can f***ing think

of 50 of them.

Swain, you're the one who brought

us this sh*t in the first place.

No, l never told you to take the girl.

l never said that.

What are you lacking?

ls it brain cells or is it Cojones,

because the only people who seem

to have any is me and Gordy.

Sh*t.

Tighten up, boys, he's here!

Here we go!

Look who we have!

The frickin' hero.

Throw the gun to the floor,

please. Do you mind?

Tough guy, the hero.

Thank you.

You okay, Marley?

Marley's fine.

We're looking after her.

We were waiting for you to get here

so we could f*** her up.

You said you'd let her go.

Let her go.

Case, listen, she saw my face,

she saw my boys' faces.

What do you want me to do,

let her walk out of here?

l'm not gonna let you

kill a f***ing kid, man.

Hey, Swain!

We've been

through this sh*t already.

We've discussed this.

lt's all been discussed.

What's wrong with you?

F*** you, a**hole.

- Gordy!

- Yo!

Do me a favor.

Can you put your gun

on this prick

and show him

the error of his ways?

Otherwise, l'm gonna

have to climb up there

and b*tch-slap that little f*ggot.

Hey, Liam, f*** you.

Derek!

Who the f*** was that?

Liam, l told you

to come on your own!

F***!

Gordy! Cover Case!

Somebody find the b*tch

who shot me in the shoulder.

F***. Do something,

you f***ing p*ssy!

Motherf***er!

F***!

Hey, if you don't stop

f***ing with me,

l'll kill this little b*tch right now,

l swear to Christ!

No!

l'm gonna get you

out of here right now.

Where are you,

you son of a b*tch?

Stop firing at me!

Then f***ing kill somebody!

Get away from her!

Enough! Enough!

No!

No, Gill, no!

Cosmo!

F***.

lt's okay.

Come on, over here.

Drop your weapon!

Put your hands in the air now!

Put the weapon down!

Drop the damn weapon!

Now!

Come on!

Come and f***ing get me!

Come on!

They're inside!

lnside there.

Oh, man, these guys need help.

l'll call the paramedic.

- l'm going after them.

- All right.

Listen, l need you

to stay here, okay?

l need you to stay right here.

Damn, boy!

l thought you had me there!

l love America...

but l f***ing hate cops!

What you gonna do with that,

throw it?

l'll deal with you in a minute.

Don't move, Liam.

Don't twitch a muscle.

How long have you known?

l've had my suspicions.

My intuition told me.

l'm not going with you.

You might've just saved my ass,

but if you think

you're going someplace,

you've got another think coming.

l have to see her.

l thought you were

one of the good guys, Liam.

So did l.

- Jesus.

- Marley.

l want you to go, Liam.

Hey, Marley, give me the gun.

Give me the gun, sweetheart.

Take it easy, easy, easy!

Easy! Easy.

Just give me the gun.

Not until Liam's gone.

Liam's not going anywhere,

okay, sweetheart?

Put the gun down.

He's not going anywhere.

Tell her.

- Marley.

- Tell her.

You saved my life, Liam.

You saved my life!

And this is your chance.

Do whatever it is you have to,

but this is it.

l'm giving it to you,

same as you did for me.

You're like a little sister

to me, Marley.

Always.

Always.

Come here.

No!

Give me the gun.

Give me the gun.

l'm sorry.

l'm sorry.

l didn't want you to hurt him.

l wanted him to be safe.

lt's okay. lt's okay.

Security, there's a man

with a gun in the lobby.

Liam, oh! Oh, my God!

No, no!

She's awake.

She's awake, Liam!

She's awake!

l'm sorry. l'm so sorry.

Liam.

lt's over.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

God! Help!

Hey! Help me! Help!

Redemption. It's a funny thing.

Sometimes you have

to go through heII to get it.

Thank you.

For what?

For saving my life.

This is only the beginning.

Sometimes...

things worth dying for

are worth Iiving for.
