Nine Dead Page #5

---

I did not know the whole time.

It wasn't until after Chan came

up with the robbery

that I knew for sure.

Cocksucker!

I told you you wouldn't like

what I had to say.

Are you absolutely positive

that it was Christian

in the confessional?

The Lord is with thee.

Dude, how does the rest

of that go?

If I had a Bible,

I would put my hand on it.

You got the wrong man,

prosecutor.

Wade Greeley's the wrong guy.

I had the evidence

against him.

Regardless, I mean, this is

a whole new ball game now.

Holy sh*t.

Sully.

Yeah?

Christian got out of jail

the same time

Chan's store was robbed.

So what does that

have to do with me?

What happens to people

who don't pay you?

If they owe a little,

I go for their knees.

If they owe a lot,

I go for their jugular.

Yeah, well, does Christian

look like the type of kid

that could take a beating?

So what?

What are you saying?

Christian robbed Chan

to get you the money.

He said that he got

out of jail in May

and paid you soon after.

How else could he have gotten

the money?

It fits.

Wait a second.

So you're telling me,

of all the f***ed-up sh*t

I've done

through the course of my life,

I loaned some dead dumbass

and that's what

I'm gonna die for?

The kid needed a motive.

I think you're it.

That's goddamn ridiculous.

You're serious?

All I did was give him

some cash.

I got to die for that?

That's bullshit!

The connection between you

and Christian

has been there the whole time.

We just never thought

anything of it.

And I still don't.

Of all the sh*t I--

Hey there, a**hole!

Why are you here?

You know what?

We don't know.

But guess what.

I don't give a f***.

I don't know what kind of sh*t

you got going on here,

but I'm sick of it.

You've got me sweating,

rethinking all the horrible

things that I've done in my life

and all the people I've crossed.

For what?

For some dumbass that I loaned

$5,000 to?

Well, guess what.

That's how I do business,

and that's how I get sh*t done.

I don't apologize for sh*t.

Knowing what you know,

knowing how your life will end,

would you change the way

you do business?

Hell no!

I don't regret anything.

I wouldn't do a damn thing

different.

What's the matter?

You don't like that, do you,

you dirty revenge-seeking p*ssy?

I don't regret anything.

What, you want me

to regret my life?

F*** you.

Tou want the satisfaction

of me begging for my life,

don't you?

F*** you.

You want the satisfaction

of killing all of us,

thinking it's gonna change

our lives.

Well, f*** you!

I take that back.

I take all that back.

Yeah.

I'm not gonna give you

the satisfaction

of me being pissed off

while I die.

Of all the sh*t

you could have killed me for,

F*** you!

Come on, bastard.

Let's do this.

Hit me right here in the head,

just like my brother.

Reunite me with him.

Come on, a**hole!

Pull the trigger.

But it's not your turn.

It's Eddie's.

Me?

No, no, no.

Please, no.

No, no.

Don't kill me.

Just tell me why I'm here.

Damn it!

That's what you said!

Father Francis is dead.

You cannot take Eddie now.

Really?

You shouldn't be

in such a hurry to die.

If this is the end for you,

you'll want to make

every minute count.

This doesn't

have to continue.

Okay, we know why

you brought most of us here,

and we know what

you must have been feeling,

what you must be feeling now.

Okay, I think I speak for all

of us

when we say we wish we could

go back and change history,

but we can't.

Wade.

Wade Greeley?

Whatever it is that you think

we've done to you, whatever--

whatever it is

you've done here today,

we can make right.

You just have to talk to us.

Look, we can help.

I can help.

Okay, whatever it is you want,

we--we--

I can make that happen.

Do you understand

what I'm telling you, Wade?

I'm not Wade Greeley.

It's not Wade Greeley.

This doesn't make any sense.

There's way too many

coincidences for it not to be

this guy, Greeley.

I've spent 5 grand

on a bottle of whiskey

without a care in the world.

Sully, we get it.

I'm telling you, he's gonna kill us all.

Okay, he doesn't care

if we come up with his plan.

If he just wanted to kill us,

we'd be dead already.

He's here to make a point.

But do we really think this

isn't Greeley?

If it isn't, it has to be

somebody close to him,

somebody that could help him

plan this.

Kelley, back at the trial,

was there anyone there?

Were there any friends

or family,

anyone who stood by him?

No, no, he didn't have

anything or anyone.

I don't even think he made bail.

Can you give us a few more

details?

Jeez, this was so long ago.

Do you realize how many trials

I've had since then,

since before then?

Okay, let's think.

Leon said that he'd been

planning this for 2 years.

When did Greeley's case

go to trial?

I don't remember.

Can you at least tell us

how many years he got in prison?

Armed robbery, assault, no plea.

Well, then the years

don't add up.

If I was wrongly convicted

of a crime,

I would start plotting my

revenge the day I was convicted.

That's what I'm saying.

Nothing about this makes sense.

The only way we're gonna get

out of this is if we escape.

Was Christian in the lineup

when Chan picked Greeley?

No, if Christian was

in the lineup,

Chan would have recognized him

when we pulled the hoods off.

She didn't recognize Kelley until later.

Well, maybe she did. I mean, nobody

understood what she was saying.

Mrs. Chan?

Give it up.

We're getting off track.

I'm just coming up with possibilities.

Well, to hell with your possibilities.

Why are you pissed at me?

Because maybe we still

don't know jack about you!

Are you really that stupid

to think I'm hiding something?

I told you everything that

I can think of, so don't blame me.

Something about you

still doesn't sit right with me, Eddie.

You know, you've been riding me

and picking on me this whole time.

What is your problem?

I might be dead in 10 minutes!

That's my f***ing problem!

I think we all know who's next.

Calm down.

What about you, Jackson?

We still don't know why you're here.

All we know is that you

beat a kid blind

and cheated on your wife.

Well, look who's

grown some balls.

I think I got it.

You better watch

your tone Eddie,

or I'm gonna start thinking

you're the psycho's partner,

or at least until I see your

brains against the wall.

Yeah, yeah, well,

not if I see yours first.

Fine, go ahead!

Sign me up!

Hey, shut up!

All right, you guys are worse

than my strippers.

Now listen.

Leon said that

he killed his brother

and dumped him during the

Cinco de Mayo parade, remember?

So what?

Well, Christian said

that he got out of jail in May.

And?

What if that was around

the same time?

Look, Christian

got out of jail, right?

And he said he got my 5 grand

right afterwards, right?

Well, if we go back

and think about it,

Christian said that he had

nothing when he left jail.

I had nothing

going in to prison.
