Looper Page #5

Synopsis: Joe is classified as a "looper", a job in which his employers use time travel to send men from the future to be killed into the past, where Joe can properly dispose of their bodies. However, to tie up loose ends and erase the evidence of his ever being a looper, Joe knows that one day his future self will be sent back for him to kill. When this day comes, Joe's future self is prepared and escapes, and the two men struggle separately in the past trying to evade capture and attempting to fulfill their own personal agendas.

vessel in his eye trying to get it up.

He's you.

Your loop.

You lied to me.

But I know you're not lying

when you say you're gonna kill this guy,

your own self.

You protected Cid

from that gat man.

Uh...

Yeah.

He saved your ass, didn't he?

He saved my ass.

Yeah.

He's a...

He's a good kid.

Yeah, he is.

You know, when I came back,

after my sister died,

I remember seeing him

for the first time in two years,

just sitting on the porch.

I drove up crying. I'd been at this

party all night in the city

when I got the call...

so I was wearing

this ridiculous party dress.

All my ridiculous sh*t.

And I don't know if he...

even remembered me,

but he looked at me...

I abandoned him.

I abandoned my baby.

And I've seen so many men

in the city,

who I look in their eyes

and they're just lost.

So whether he loves me back or not,

as long as I'm there to raise him,

he's gonna be taken care of.

He's gonna be safe.

He's never gonna get lost.

Hello, Joe.

Jesse.

Put this down and let her go.

Sara, Jesse here is the best shot

with a gat that I know.

When he lets you go, just sit on

the couch. Don't do anything stupid.

He's coming here, Jess.

My loop is coming here.

I gotta take you in.

I got 948 bars of pure silver.

I close my loop,

I get right with Abe.

Whatever he gives back,

I'll split it with you.

Was that your plan?

Okay, take all of it.

Are you delusional?

You ain't getting right.

Long as Abe's got one gat man standing

he's gonna hunt you till his dying day.

We're gonna go now. Gonna get

in my truck and you're just gonna...

I'm sorry.

The Rainmaker...

Cid!

Cid!

Oh, my God!

Cid!

Cid?

It's him.

What is he, some TK freak?

You knew.

What are you doing?

How did your sister die?

What are you doing with those guns?

Is that what happened to her?

No!

He kill her like that?

No. He was climbing a bookshelf

and it fell back on him.

He can get scared. It exploded.

Jesus frigging...

He'll learn to control it.

Imagine what he's gonna do!

If he did good with it, though.

If he grew up

with me raising him.

If he grew up good...

He doesn't.

You stay away from him, Joe!

Cid! Stay away from Joe, baby!

Follow me, baby!

Come to me. It's okay.

It's okay, baby.

Right now two things have happened.

My loop knows Cid's the kid

he's looking for.

And my gang knows I'm here.

That means in 15 minutes, one or both

of them is coming down that highway.

Pack up the truck.

Take everything you can and go.

Drive north away from the city.

Thank you.

Got everyone here, all our men.

Arm them up. Let's go.

I got him, Abe. I got him.

Well, sh*t.

That's right, motherfuckers.

Whoa.

I got him.

Knew he was sweet

on this one whore.

I checked her building...

They found Joe

in a farm on the east side.

That's why all the gat men are here.

The whole crew is arming up

to make a sweep.

Joe?

F*** Joe. Save your bullets!

I've got the loop!

Not such a f***-up now, huh?

I'm bringing him up to see Abe.

Get this a**hole!

Motherfuckers!

Holy sh*t.

Joe!

Guess I put the gun

in that kid's hand, huh?

I guess

everything comes back around.

Like your goddamn ties.

Take this truck. And take your gold

and go live your life.

Nobody's coming after you.

I fixed it.

You go kill the boy.

That how you fix it?

You're goddamn right

I'm gonna kill that boy!

You just got your life back.

My life?

Your life. Becoming you.

Goddamn it!

You've lost your f***ing mind!

You let this boy live, he's gonna

take everything you've got.

And everything I got!

See what he becomes.

I haven't seen that yet.

Goddamn it!

Sh*t.

Okay, baby, we're going.

Put your seat belt on.

Stop.

Duck down. It's okay.

- Stop, please. He can shoot us.

- Duck down.

Stop!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Cid.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm gonna get you down.

Okay, we're going into the cane.

Go. Go.

Go.

No!

No. Cid, no.

No!

It's okay, baby. You're okay.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

I love you. Calm down.

Good boy.

Mommy loves you.

Mommy loves you.

It's okay.

Mom.

Sh*t.

Oh. Oh. You did good.

You did so good. Good boy.

Listen to me. I need you to run

into the fields now.

No, Mom, I don't want to leave you.

It's okay.

- You need to go. Go!

- Move!

Move, goddamn it!

Move.

Then I saw it.

I saw a mom

who would die for her son.

A man who would kill for his wife.

A boy, angry and alone.

Laid out in front of him,

the bad path. I saw it.

And the path was a circle...

round and round.

So I changed it.

Cid!

Where's Joe?

He had to go away, baby.
