Run Page #3

Where?

Everywhere.

You know, you don't say much.

I don't really have much to say.

We move a lot, you know.

What does your mom

think about that?

She died when I was born.

I'm so sorry.

It's fine.

It happened a long time ago.

Come on.

I want to show you something.

Wow.

It's awesome.

You first.

I, uh, actually already tried.

So, it wasn't ballet.

It's not so hard.

You can do it.

But how do you know

that you can do it?

Just see it.

Get to know your world.

Examine the setting.

You have to see

all the little details.

Where you put your

hands, your feet.

Where you land.

Imagine it.

If you can't imagine it,

you won't make it.

Then you just trust

nothing by yourself.

And the last thing.

Don't think.

Run.

You can do it.

Trust me.

I-I can't.

Thank you for walking me home.

Thanks.

I had a nice time tonight.

I had a great time, too.

So, what got you into running?

Uh, my brother mostly.

A little sibling

rivalry I guess.

What do you like about it?

It's... it's freeing.

Yeah.

I get that.

Your brother's right.

You listen to

my brother too much.

He said you're dangerous.

Not for you.

Are you kidding me? You can

see everything from here.

Now I see what you

were up to that night.

I'm, uh, you know, I'm

very sorry about that.

Oh, crap.

My mom.

I got to go.

Goodnight.

Aah.

Oh, here you are.

You must be Sean.

My hero.

I'm Tim's grandmother.

I'm sorry I didn't

come over sooner,

but who knew

you were right here?

This is you, right?

Tim just told me that

you were our neighbor.

I couldn't believe it.

I hope you like pancake.

It's his favorite.

I made it just for you.

Thank you.

Oh, I know it's kind of late.

I don't want to keep you.

Thank you so much for

bringing the cake.

I just... want to

thank you so much.

You're an angel.

You have an amazing son.

Tell me about it.

Can I walk you to the door?

Oh.

I won't leave again.

What's her name?

Who?

The ponytail that's

making you all stupid.

Emily.

You love her?

See loves a funny bird, man.

A bird that doesn't fly straight

and makes you do funny things.

Like bring somebody into a world

they have no idea how to swim in.

This has nothing to do with her.

It has everything

to do with you, Danny.

You being reckless and risking

our ability to be free.

Free? This? Yeah.

This is not freedom. Not being

able to live where we want?

To stay with who we want?

To do what we want?

This is not freedom.

Listen, Danny, I promised your

mother I would take care of you.

I would make sure that you stayed safe.

Yeah, keep me safe.

Do you really think she wanted

this life for me, for us?

It's a mess out there.

And you know I... I know.

I know.

I'm sorry if your life hasn't

worked out the way you wanted.

It felt good, you know.

Helping someone,

being appreciated.

My friend Mark,

he's putting together a team.

I could be part

of something real.

Something good.

He said I'm the best

he's ever seen.

He's right.

You're incredible.

You're special.

But that's what he wants

to steal from you.

He'll wreck you for it.

And in the end, life ain't going

to turn out how you want it.

When I tell you trust no one,

it's not a...

You trust no one.

Not because they might hurt you.

Because they will.

Did Mom hurt you?

Hurt...

Did Mom hurt you?

Your mother never hurt anyone.

We were young and stupid,

and I was careless.

There's just some things

you can't control, son.

Danny?

Yeah?

They're here.

Sh*t.

Okay.

Just focus with me, okay?

Breathe.

You know the escape route.

You know where you going. Yeah.

You know it.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll meet

you there. Go.

Dad. This is a fight I can win.

Go.

I'm okay.

Aah.

Shh.

Shh, shh, shh.

Get inside, get inside.

Get inside, get inside.

It's okay, it's okay.

Shh. Shh.

Got you.

Mikalay.

Lucius... I don't want

to fight anymore, okay?

You were like a brother to me.

I just-I just want to sit

down with you and Jeremiah.

'Cause I'm done running.

I want a truce.

Nice kid you've got.

Where is he?

Who's out there?

Put the gun down.

I'll see you later.

Hello? Jeremiah, I found Mike.

Local PD picked him up.

But the kid got away.

I'll take care of him.

Steward here.

Yes.

What's his name?

Sean Preston?

All right, I got it.

I'm on it.

Thank you.

Preston.

Four-oh-six.

John, Bill, come back.

John, Bill, it's Steward.

Come back.

Four-oh-six. We're looking for

a student named Sean Preston.

I just got a call from local PD.

Hey. I need to talk to you.

Oh, wait, what's wrong?

There he is.

Hey, you.

I'm-I'm really sorry.

Stop.

Wait, Sean.

I got him. He's in the gym.

He's in the gym.

Halt.

I got him. He's headed

for the fire escape.

We really need to stop meeting

at the men's bathroom.

His the only exit is at the front.

Lock it down.

Hold him right there. I'm on my way.

Hold him there.

Mark.

Why do you have Sean's jacket on?

What's going on?

Officer "Stewnuts" here just-he's

on his period, so he gets...

Emily, get out.

Go out.

You got one minute.

What the hell

are you doing here?

You mind?

Thank you.

What the hell

are you doing here?

You don't remember

anything I've taught you?

I'm not leaving you behind.

Danny, do you understand

what's going on here?

Yeah, I do.

Okay.

You got to promise me

you're going to run.

You're not going to turn back.

Just remember everything

I taught you.

Your time is up.

I love you, son.

Come on.

I'll find you.

Dad, please.

I'll find you.

I promise.

Go.

Go.

The kid just left.

Don't worry.

We'll take care of him.

This is bigger

than what you've been doing.

Bigger than jumping of

balconies and windows.

Yeah, I get it. I know you

don't want to hear me.

All right. But I'm telling the truth.

All right?

What'd they say?

Look, they want to know how we

met and what we knew about him.

Why?

Look, he's a criminal. Right?

The cops are after him. He's a thief.

Sean? He's not a criminal.

His name's not even Sean, it's Daniel.

He lied to us, all right?

Look, Emily, I want you to

forget about him, all right?

And if anything else,

it's my fault, all right?

I'm sorry. I shouldn't

have trusted him.

H, don't beat yourself up.

We should just be happy

nothing happened to you.

He's right.

They're wrong.

Emily...

No, I don't believe it.

But they have proof. I don't

care what they say, Mark.

I know him. I thought I knew him, too.

But it's a lie. It's all a lie.

Your brother's right.

No.

Okay?

You're all wrong.

No, stop.

Emily, please.

What are you doing

here, Squirrel?

Relax.

What are you doing?

Mark told me to give you

this jacket if I found you.

Give this to him.

They say your father is in jail.

Listen, I don't want to

talk about it, all right?

I don't think you are bad.

Just go, Squirrel.

You're not a bad person.

Let's see if I can trust you.

Mark?

Man, I'm so sorry.

You should go and call the cops.

Listen, I know...

No, you lied to us.

We took you in as a brother,
