Seeking Justice Page #4

- Tell her, I'm...

- Leave the corner.

...I'm okay.

All right, come on, buddy.

You're going in.

Just sleep it off tonight.

Let's go.

Come on.

Get your body bag.

Hey, this is Alan Marsh.

This is my website.

Click around on things you

wanna look at have some fun.

You'll find my very byline

my very second byline.

Hey, man.

You skipped school.

They can kiss my ass.

Damn. You decide.

You decide right there. Yeah.

Now you know vandalizing

the school property is illegal, Edwin.

What you're doing here, Mr. G?

I heard you got busted by the cops.

What did you do for,

sucker punching a kid?

No.

Murder, first degree.

I'm sorry I hit it you, Edwin.

I really am.

It's all right.

Maybe I had it coming.

Can you do me a favor, Edwin?

I never saw you, Mr. G.

You never saw us.

Right.

Laura.

Will.

What the hell is happening?

What is and you're sure

we can't go to the cops?

- We tell them everything.

- Some of them are cops.

You can't stay at home.

Go to Lafitte's Hotel,

wait for me there.

Use this call me. The number's in it.

Here. It's all I've got.

Take this.

Where it come from?

I was scared.

I should never have put us in this mess.

If they had asked me that night,

I would have done the same thing.

Will, what are you gonna do?

- Where you're gonna go?

- Cops.

Those were the same guys

that came to our apartment.

You have to go. Go!

Mrs. Gerard.

What do you want now?

A little follow up. Has your husband

tried to contact you, Mrs. Gerard?

- No, he has not.

- I find that hard to believe.

- Do you?

- You seemed a little tense.

Yeah, I'm a little tense, Detective.

In my situation, should I be relaxed?

I have rehearsal.

- Marshy!

- Marshy!

- Marshy!

- Marshy!

Nobody takes a story like you.

You were the best.

But Jesus, Marshy, you could have picked

a more dignified way to go out.

You escaped from a Chechen jail.

You survived your own divorce,

for crying out loud.

Just barely.

And that piece you wrote about

the music industry that was beautiful.

Gorgeous story.

Marshy, here's to you.

- You're the real deal.

- Amen, brother.

You redheaded, a**hole!

- Here, here!

- Here's a little music for Marshy.

- We're having a toast to Marshy.

- Marshy!

And to our new best friend

as long as he keeps buying.

- Will.

- Will.

- Marshy was a great guy, huh?

- He was one hell of a journalist.

A couple of weeks ago

we had lunch and, uh

- weirdest thing happened.

- What's that, he paid?

No, he, uh, he tells me

about the secret organization. Some...

...group that claims to hand out justice

you know,

when the justice system fails and...

- He told you that?

- Oh, it's true.

They killed him,

made it look like a suicide.

You better watch your back there, Will.

Because anybody associated

with Marshy is a marked man.

- And why do they want him dead?

- Because...

Joe, you tell him.

Because Alan Marsh...

was an alien.

He was sent here as a scout

to prepare for the invasion of earth.

So, Will you... you are now obligated

to buy us another round.

Absolutely.

Augie!

Don't worry about it, Will. He's been telling

that crazy story to everybody.

He went so far as even hiding

his own research.

Where'd he hide it?

Well, that would be the $64-million

question, wouldn't it?

Cheers.

Well, he was obsessed.

I mean he said he was about to

make that all stuff public.

The truth is, I mean, Alan...

- he had some issues.

- Yeah, it got worse.

One of the sources got bumped off.

And after that, I don't know, man.

He just he became like, uh...

- Different man.

- Yeah.

Jumpy, paranoid, lying son of a b*tch.

Just sort of like you, Will.

So what are you, a cop?

Next time you wanna come snooping

around show your badge

and don't pretend to be his friend.

Will.

- Stop him!

- Hey, Will!

Will, come back. I wanna talk to you.

Go after him. Get in the car.

Go, get him.

He went over himself.

Get down. Get down below.

Will?

No need to run, Will.

I have something that

I think you may want.

It's the tape from the security camera.

I just wanna show you.

I have it right here.

Why don't you come out?

I'll show it to you.

Come on, Will.

Will, come on out.

It's very clear you didn't kill anybody.

I just want to sell it to you.

Will?

Hey!

Godammit!

Mrs. Gerard...

I'm Detective Sims of the New Orleans

Police Department.

Would you come with me, please?

- Now what?

- Your husband, Mrs. Gerard.

We just found out some new information

that indicates he's innocent.

You do?

We need your help to get him out

of this mess. Come with me, please.

Of course.

So what's this new evidence?

- Excuse me?

- You said there was new evidence.

We'll show you

when we get down the station.

Man, mother f***er!

The wireless customer

you are calling is not available.

Please try again later.

Hey!

In a hyphenated compound situation

do you capitalize the second word?

Only if it's a noun and the words

have equal weight

like, "Homeland Security". If it's a participle

modifying the first word then

you better,

uh... you better keep it lower case.

Huh, yeah, it makes sense.

Thanks.

Edmund Burke.

"A philosophical enquiry."

It is not what a lawyer tells me

I may do but what

humanity, reason,

and justice tell me I ought to do.

There's a guy in the news room

going through Alan Marsh's desk.

I've never seen him before.

Look.

Where'd he go?

I'm telling you he was right there.

Eight sixty five, eight sixty five.

Eight sixty five,

Here we go 865.

Be right back, sir.

Thank you, sir.

By the way, this is a nice car.

Thank you.

Paris Truck Stop.

Paris Truck Stop.

Paris Truck Stop.

Paris Truck Stop.

Twenty one and one Paris Road.

All right, let's try that.

I wonder if you could help me.

I worked for the New Orleans Post.

And I'm looking a missing colleague.

I know he would come here

to get gas and supplies.

Do you recognize him?

I've seen him.

He goes fishing on the weekends.

He keeps his boat in one of those

units over there.

Which unit?

But I haven't seen him in a few days.

The truth is, uh

well, he owes me quite a bit of money.

Is there any way to get in that unit?

Well, uh, no, I don't have the keys.

I mean those storage units

have nothing to do with me.

So there's no other possible way

I can in there and get what's owed me?

Well, it looks like they're made out

of some pretty cheap sh*t.

I saw some guy accidentally

backed into one.

It went right through the door.

Really?

- So he went right through it?

- Right through.

I really appreciate your understanding

of my situation.

Well, we're all God's children.

Hey, good morning.

You know if they find out

I'm talking to you, they're gonna kill me.

What does the hungry

rabbit jumps mean?

It's not what a lawyer tells me

I must do

but it's what humanity,

reason and justice tell me I ought to do.

Edmund Burke said it.

Hungry-Humanity.

Rabbit-Reason.

Jumps-Justice.

Humanity, reason, justice.
