J.D.'s Revenge Page #5

---

- You a big boy, you take it.

- You think I'm gonna take it, huh?

I'm gonna take you to the killing floor,

and I'll cut you every kind of way!

'I'm gonna cut you all kinds of ways!

It's over! Your life is over!'

'Amen!'

'The church says amen!'

'Amen!'

'Anything that you can conceive

and believe in can become true.'

As long as it becomes

a thought in your mind,

then it becomes reality!

If I had not thought that it was possible

for me to change my life,

I'd still be in the gutter today!

We are all...

So you're a jackleg preacher now,

huh, Elija?

Yeah, that's right.

It's J. D. Walker.

Where's that good-for-nothing

brother of yours? Heh-heh!

I got a score to settle with him.

Why did you come back, J. D.?

My business is with Theotis.

You never was in this.

You tell Theotis to meet me

on the killing floor.

He know where it is.

Ha-ha! Whoo! Ha-ha-ha!

Whoo! Ha-ha-ha!

Walker turned up dead one night.

They never found out who killed him.

He was a hustler,

ran a numbers game

and a black-market meat racket

during the war.

He had a lot of enemies

and a lot of women.

Hmm...

Bliss was involved

in the underworld in the '40s,

and Hendricks is tied to him.

But why?

Why would a kid like Hendricks

even know about J. D. Walker?

Carl, just got a report of a guy

fitting Hendricks' description

assaulted and tried to kill

a man and his wife with a razor.

He took their Continental.

We got the license number.

What the hell do you mean,

J. D. Walker is back?

He's back. I saw him. He said

he has a score to settle with you.

It's some hustler running a game.

This is what comes

of being so open about the past.

It's not a game.

J. D. Walker is back.

Don't you understand?

This is a test.

God is testing me.

This boy is possessed by the spirit

of J. D. Walker, and his...

Theotis, his soul must be

purged of this evil spirit.

I must make J. D. understand

that his soul won't rest

until he comes to grips

with this heinous crime he committed.

Theotis, it is really my fight.

It was I who loved Betty Jo.

It was because of me

that he killed his only sister.

Well... I'll get rid of the fool.

No. I will go and talk to him.

That almost got you killed once before.

Theotis, I've always been indebted

to you for saving my life.

Now, me and Roberta suffered

a terrible loss

when Betty Jo was killed.

Now, this thing,

I must bring this thing to an end.

I will walk into the valley

of the shadow of death

and talk this evil spirit down.

Elija, deal with the real world.

We don't know what this maniac will do.

No, Theotis.

Just once, let's do it my way.

OK.

We'll both go.

You're crazy.

You're such an idiot.

You said

you were gonna leave Elija!

Ha! Fool!

You said

you was comin' with me!

You're such an idiot.

You're such a fool.

I gave you money!

You could never give me

enough money.

I give you more

than Elija gives you!

If you don't stop,

I'm gonna tell Elija that baby isn't his,

and he'll kick you out in the street.

- If you do, I'll kill you!

- You wouldn't do anything.

You ain't gonna tell nothin'!

Ha-ha-ha!

You ain't gonna tell nothin'!

Betty Jo! Oh, God!

Murderer.

Murderer!

Murderer!

J. D.!

J. D. Walker!

We're here!

I've come to save your soul, J. D.

Let this feud be over.

Let your soul rest.

Leave vengeance to the Lord.

Shut up, Elija! Fool!

You always been the bootlickin' lackey!

You still is a buck-dancin'

n*gger puppet!

You should've stayed

in your church, Elija!

I told you my business

was with Theotis.

Get out of here!

Theotis killed my sister!

You took dives

whenever that n*gger told you to.

You the chump, all right, Elija.

Theotis killed Betty Jo because

she was gonna tell you something.

That baby she had wasn't yours!

Belonged to Theotis!

Roberta...

You look just like your mama.

I had to do it.

Your mama and J. D. were no damn good.

Theotis...

In the name of Jesus...

I made you.

You were nothing without me.

You were sh*t.

I made you,

and she was with you.

She had my child,

but she was with you.

She laughed at me,

mocked me, threatened to tell.

I had to kill the b*tch!

Papa!

Give me the gun, Elija!

I'll kill you!

Theotis!

I'll kill you!

Papa!

Kill him!

You're dead!

I killed him.

No.

Oh, God!

God!

Oh, sweet Jesus.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

Hendricks!

I'll kill you.

Carl!

Carl! What the hell's

the matter with you?

No!

My God...

What have I done?

What have I done?

- You live in New Orleans?

- Yes.

- Drive a cab?

- Right.

You said you go

to law school. Are you married?

Not really.

You're living with someone?

What's her name?

Christella Borden.

You can remember that,

but not anything else?

- Not much.

- Let's keep on trying.

The girl says she did it.

I don't believe that for a minute.

I want that joker's ass under the jail.

Hendricks says

he can't remember anything.

Of course he doesn't.

He doesn't wanna be slapped with

a murder one, not to mention forcible rape.

You're just pissed off

because the girl won't press charges.

- The son of a b*tch raped her!

- She won't press charges.

Are you telling me I did all those

weird things because I was possessed?

It was J. D.'s voice and his manner.

Isaac Hendricks was a vessel

for God's justice.

And now he's free to live his own life.

J. D. Walker can, uh...

rest in eternal peace.

You mean...

...I can just be walkin' down the street

and get taken over by some demon

out to get revenge on somebody?

It can happen anytime, anywhere.

You were possessed.

There's no doubt about that.

But is it over?

How do I know it won't happen again?

There's no way to know that.

Aw, that's crazy.

All right,

let's set the record straight.

It's my understanding that

in the struggle, the gun went off.

Theotis might've even pulled

the trigger himself, right?

Yes.

All right,

that wraps it up for me.

Papa.

I raised you as my daughter,

and you'll always be that to me.

Come on. Let's go.

Ike, I don't wanna see you

in here again.

Well, I don't...

Well, I don't wanna be back here again.

Uh... thank you, Captain.

That's a bad suit, blood.

Man, I'm sorry, but I had to.

- I could use something to eat.

- That's nothin' new.

That's his problem, always eatin'.

Hey, man, do you see this?

Now, people call this

a natural rock formation.

There's your natural

rock formation, man!

- Good to have you back, blood.

- Good to be back, man.

Let's go.
