Just Cause Page #6

You best run, Armstrong.

Hello?

Anyone home?

Takes me back to my youth.

I want to remind you all

of next Sunday's fish fry.

And now, from the bounty of the Lord...

...Amazing Grace

on Everglade Christian Radio.

"So the dead which he slew at his death...

"...were more than they

which he slew in his life."

Judges 16:
30.

I told you I had power.

Not this time.

So tell me...

...what did you see?

What did you hear?

Give me all the details.

Spare me nothing. Come on.

Come on, I want everything.

Come on.

No.

When you called me to say:

"We thought the letter

would do the trick"...

...who did you mean by "we"?

Tell me what you saw.

Tell me about my folks. That was the deal.

Okay.

Why not?

By "we," I meant me and the shining boy

of the hour.

I pushed the buttons

to make you do the dance...

...to spring our boy...

...who, in turn, did the deed.

"The deed"?

You know what I mean.

I had some unfinished business out there.

I gave Bobby Earl life...

...so he could give me death.

Joanie Shriver?

I never had the pleasure

of making her acquaintance.

Bobby Earl coached me a little bit

on the details.

All I had to do to take his crime was

tell you where the knife was...

...and write that letter.

You should see your face, Armstrong!

What's going on up there?

Why me?

We needed a legitimizer.

Who'd believe us? We're just psychopaths.

Why me?

You were Bobby Earl's con.

And he had his reasons.

Reasons?

It's my turn.

What reasons?

No, it's my turn now!

Come on.

How did my folks look?

How did they smell?

Tell me everything.

Spare me nothing.

They said they forgive you

and will remember you in their prayers.

No!

Yeah.

I'm sure you're lying, cocksucker!

You inhuman bastard!

You cannot cheat me of this!

Come on!

We played you like a tune! It ain't over!

You got the trials of Job ahead of you!

The trials of Job! The sin is pride,

you f***er, and the messenger is revenge!

We played you like a tune!

It ain't over yet!

- I told you how fragile this thing was.

- Yes, you're right.

- You were right.

- You know where I am?

I'm at the Sullivan house now

and I want to tell you...

... it's a good thing I put Wilcox on his tail.

- "In the name of the Father, the Son..."

- Shut up!

- "...and the Holy Spirit..."

- Shut up, please!

Shut up!

"As governor of the state of Florida..."

I have a confession from Sullivan

on tape and it is evidence.

You're a goddamn fool.

First you had evidence this way,

now you got evidence that way.

His confession don't mean sh*t

unless he testifies in court.

Don't lecture me about confessions,

not after the way you got Bobby Earl's.

"To cause the sentence of death

to be executed on Blair Sullivan."

Armstrong, you keep Sullivan alive.

"Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

"Give us this day our daily bread.

"And forgive us our trespasses."

Are you packed?

Where are you?

I'm right on top of him.

Collins and 50th.

I want you to stay on his tail,

but don't jump him until I tell you.

10-4.

You were Bobby Earl's con.

And he had his reasons.

- It's my turn.

- What reasons?

No, it's my turn now!

I'm sorry, there's no answer.

Did she leave any messages for me?

Just one moment, sir.

We played you like a tune! It ain't over!

You got the trials of Job ahead!

The trials of Job! The sin is pride...

- Sorry, sir, no messages.

- ... and the messenger is revenge!

On, no, I left him!

Angus!

- Who?

- The bear Daddy gave me. I left him!

- We gave the key back.

- We can't just leave him!

Come on, we'll find a maid.

Maybe she'll let us in the room.

Don't let anyone touch that luggage.

All right?

I'll be right back.

I got to call Mom and Dad.

- Did I get the laundry?

- I think so.

Good.

The maid wouldn't take Angus, right?

I don't think so.

You must take better care of your stuff.

I know.

We'll go in your car. Get your keys out.

You better lock it up, girl.

Get the keys out.

We'll have ourselves a little ride.

Come on, Wilcox, pick up the damn phone.

- Get in.

- Leave her here.

Move your hand or I'll cut her head off!

Get in!

Hurry up!

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Come on, pick it up.

Come in, quick.

Get in the car!

That's Laurie's car!

I think Bobby Earl has them!

Where is Wilcox?

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

Stop touching her.

I'm out of my jurisdiction here.

I need to call for backup.

Why are you doing this?

He saved your life.

B*tch, that don't make up

for what you did to me.

Let her go. She didn't do anything to you.

- She's a part of you.

- Let her go.

She's a tiny version of you.

She'll grow up and be a hero.

- It's okay.

- Shut up!

Get down, in case he sees you.

Damn.

Pull over! To the left!

Where?

I'll kill her!

They're going against the traffic!

B*tch, drive!

Take it! Punch it!

Punch the gas! Punch it!

Punch it!

B*tch, you better drive! Punch it!

I'll kill her! I'll take her now!

Professor?

Listen up.

Daddy?

Got me a double date.

Remember Joanie Shriver? That's nothing

compared to what I'll do to your girl.

There's the car.

It's the only place he'd be.

Keep your eyes open, Armstrong.

We're in his backyard now.

We need to split up.

I'm going to go around back.

Here...

...squeeze one off if you have to.

Don't try to hit nothing.

Just point and squeeze.

- Where is he?

- Hurry.

Get it off my mouth.

He's out there.

Hurry!

He's out there somewhere!

Get Katie out of here.

Quick!

Everything's going to be all right.

I don't know if he's coming back.

Welcome to the party, Professor.

Stop it!

Give me Tanny's gun.

He couldn't stand to see me free,

living the good life...

...so I killed the f***er.

Let them go. You have me now.

It's not you that I want, Professor.

Is it Laurie?

It's not you I've been waiting for

and thinking about the last eight years.

But she dropped her case against you.

Not soon enough.

You had me held for just one night

so you could make a name for yourself.

Sullivan was right.

"The sin is pride."

- I'm sorry.

- You're sorry?

I had no idea they'd hurt you.

Hurt me?

Do you want to see

what those f***ers did to me?

They cut me.

They castrated me!

You feel that?

You had me...

Did you think they'd give a sh*t

about justice?

Sit down!

Like that knife?

That's what put me on the Row and

eight years later that's what made me free.

Please, let Katie go.

She's just a little girl.

I'm saving Katie for dessert.

Now I'm going to do me

these two lovely ladies of yours.

Easy!

Then I'll disappear.

What I need to know from you is

how do you want to die, first or last?

And Blair Sullivan?

Watch your f***ing hands!

What about him?

Don't f*** with me, Armstrong.

Sullivan is dead.

No. The governor gave him

a stay of execution.

You're a desperate man, Armstrong.

I brought him the news.

What f***ing news?

That his parents were still alive and well.

No, it's my turn now!
