My Father, Die Page #3

---

Oh, I got them jammed under the

hydraulic system on the lift.

You know my dumb ass.

I drink too much,

smoke too much.

What's going on, buddy.

What you looking for?

Really, what happened to you?

I need the keys to the safe.

Oh, it's a combination now.

6-6-6.

Had it made custom.

What you needing?

What's going on, Ivan?

What happened to my room?

I just moved my stuff

in after the first year.

Sh*t, I didn't know.

You weren't supposed

to be coming back.

I can move all my sh*t out.

I can do that right now, Ivan.

Ain't no big deal.

Sh*t man, I'll do

that right now.

Get that sh*t out there.

Come here.

How long we've been friends now?

I don't know.

30 years maybe.

I'm sorry about your

old lady, by the way.

Thank you.

You get the flowers?

I did.

Thank you.

You know, tank, I know the

f***er who f***ed up your feet

is the same f***er

who tangled with me.

No, I'm not mad at you.

But I need the name.

I want to go kill

this mother f***er.

You know better than that.

I didn't say anything.

I'd never say nothing

about sh*t to nobody.

I swear.

You know me better than that.

We got code.

I didn't say sh*t.

I swear to god.

I swear.

I swear.

I know you told him where

I was, and that's ok.

Am I right?

I'm sorry, brother.

I'm sorry.

I'm f***ing sorry.

He shot my f***ing toes off.

He was going to shoot

me in the balls.

It's ok.

It's ok.

It's not your fault, my brother.

The motherf***er made you

a cripple, but like I said,

I need a name.

And no one came into that

room or left that room

except this young couple.

Am I right?

There was this guy

who was in and out.

Forgot something also.

What did he look like?

He had a fuzzy-looking

animal hat and glasses.

Did he say anything?

Detective.

Yeah.

The plate is getting

back on the truck.

It's officer Lawny.

We need to run an

APB on that truck.

Actually, sir, we found it.

You said he forgot something.

What did he forget?

Forgot this.

Ok.

Now it's time for

you to go to bed.

Why can't Asher hear?

Cause he was in an

accident when we were kids.

How do you know

the secret language?

Because my daddy

was death too, baby.

I think it would be better for

him if he stayed here with us.

Do you?

Ah-huh.

And why is that?

Because I think he needs

people who care about him.

How did you get so smart?

I love you.

I love you too.

Ok.

You go to bed.

Don't get up.

We're going to church tomorrow.

Would you like to join us?

We go every Sunday.

You don't have to come.

I just thought you might

want to hang out with us.

Well, you can't come

looking like that.

I think I might still have

some of his father's clothes.

They should fit.

Tell me about Rawlings.

He killed his son

in a drunken rage.

Made the other one death

beating him in the head.

This is a pre-historic

mother f***er.

And the lord has a plan for you

too, but you gotta ask.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Now who here today needs

to be touched by the spirit?

Needs to be touched by

the hand of?

Needs to be saved?

What did you do?

You f***ing.

What happened to

my beauty queen?

Just let yourself

go, huh, boo-boo?

By

The law of our heavenly father.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Preacher Michael come on up.

Come up, sir and be saved.

Preacher Michael be saved.

Is it your legs, son?

It is, preacher.

Do you have faith in the

temple and in the all mighty?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I do.

Yes, sir.

Brother Steve, would

you give us a hand?

And by the power

invested in me, I

command the sickness out and

put in the hands of our lord.

Amen amen.

Oh, hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Oh, hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Let the sick and

suffering perish the way

the world does today.

It's sick and backwards.

We cannot let the

wicked run free.

Because it was our father

who said all men.

Well, ain't that some sh*t.

Plucked the worlds clean.

And only those who

repent are free.

Lord, drive the devils out.

Lord.

My little brother,

wherever I go, you go.

And

only those who repent are free.

And that's

when I heard my god speak

to me, and he said,

you've got to help

your daddy shine before

you can shine for yourself.

God's got a plan.

I'm just saying with

everything that's happened,

I don't think it's a good idea

for you to be seen with him.

He is a Rawlings after all.

So what should I have done,

left him on my porch to die?

It doesn't seem very Christian.

Oh, no.

No.

Heavens no.

And don't be putting

words in my mouth,

and don't be thinking

I'm not proud of you

for helping him out now.

But you've done your part.

It's up to him now.

He's got no reason to

be sticking around.

I told him that.

I just feel guilty.

You're an independent

woman, Nana, raised

a smart, healthy, young boy.

You don't need to be

raising a man child.

Like proverb says, not my

circus, not my monkeys.

Yeah.

I guess you're right.

He's leaving tomorrow anyway.

I told him my mother

was coming to stay.

White lie never hurt anybody.

Just let me know if you

need anything, all right?

Ok.

I will, preacher.

All right.

Bye, Lori.

Bye, chess.

Say good-bye, chess.

Bye, chess.

Come here.

Time for bed, Chessy.

Come by here, my

lord, come by here.

Come by here, my

lord, come by here.

Somebody is praying, my lord.

Come by here.

Oh, lord, come by here.

Come by here, my

lord, come by here.

All right, everybody, sit

down, relax, and be quiet.

It is time for my sermon,

"a walk through the fire."

I walk through the flames.

I'm sorry, sir,

but services don't

start until tomorrow morning.

Where's the deaf

guy and the n*gger?

Excuse me?

Ah!

Now, you take me

to the preacher.

You like that?

I know how you like it.

I know how you like

it, mother f***er.

Let me see you.

Goddamn it, Lori,

get the f*** out!

You stupid f***.

I'm sorry, preacher Michael.

I'm sorry.

I knew you doing

your sermon again.

I'm sorry.

You're really good, Asher.

Watch the bad guy.

Could we get an ice cream?

My favorite is vanilla.

I also like strawberry.

What's yours?

Vanilla?

What's your second?

Vanilla?

Mine too.

Keep your arm up.

Keep your arm up.

Thank you.

He was a monster.

The lord is my

life and salvation.

I need to know...

which I fear.

Arm up.

About the monster.

Who lit the fire, Lori?

One-eyed gator?

Are we talking about a

one-eyed alligator here?

A one-eyed alligator

lit the fire.

Is that what you're saying?

Did the one-eyed gator want

to hurt pastor Michael?

He wanted his son.

The one-eyed gator wanted

pastor Michael's son.

Hand up.

No.

He want to kill his own son.

The man with the pretty

girl and the little boy.

His son.

The lowly, the path

with the light.

Through the dark.

Two.

Two.

You gotta want it.

You gotta see it.

Where is he?

He left.

He went north, said he was

going to a friend's house.

I swear to god he

left a day ago.

I'm sure if you

could just go out...

Oh.

Ah!

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, you, you mother f***er.

No!
