Sinners and Saints Page #4

We met in LSU.

My car ran out of gas next to his dorm

and he came to my rescue.

- Lucky man.

- ain't I?

Sean what about you?

Is there a Mrs. Riley?

- Yes, there was.

- Any kids?

We had a son.

His name was Jacob.

He was six years old

When he got diagnosed with leukemia.

About a year and half ago,

we lost him.

Yeah.. so. She left after that.

I guess she can't take a look at me

Coz she reminds me of him, you know.

- Sorry.

- Yeah, I didn't know.

No don't be sorry, guys.

That's alright.

Usually, I just make up bullshit

story to tell people.

because I don't want to be

seem so pathetic.

By the way, did I tell you what

a beautiful family you guys have.

Thank you.

Especially your little princess

over there.

Oh man, Sarah what are you doing

to this poor kid.

Come here, buddy.

No, we don't wanna be a

princess that's not cool.

He got somethings after his dad.

Oh I bet you're enjoying this, aren't you?

Lets go get you a fireman's hat

or something.

Thanks brother.

You got a nice neighborhood.

What's wrong man, are you alright?

I'm sorry,man.

Sorry, I froze up on you today.

That's bullshit Will,

get that out of your mind.

You did exactly what anyone else

would have done.

Not you,man.

I mean, you went in there after them

like the odds were in your favor.

It ain't the same thing.

Its just different.

Look, Will. When you came around

that corner today, you didn't see me.

You didn't see those guys

with the guns.

All you saw is the family

you got inside.

I don't have that.

I ain't got that to lose

that's the difference.

There is a lesson out of

every tragedy.

What's that?

My father...he was a preacher.

If theres anything my

old man ever thought me

Is that everything happens for a purpose.

Do you believe that?

Tell me, what's the reason

for a 4-year old boy

...to suffer in agony for 2 years.

Is there a reason for that?

Look just think about

what happened today.

That if things has gone different,

Then I would be done lying cold

on the street right now.

Like it or not it was meant to be.

Well, its easy to say that

While you sit there, comfortable

with your beer.

Oh come on, man. Ain't it possible

that what happened to you

and your family...

... wasn't just random tragic bad luck?

Maybe there's something greater at stake.

What are you trying to say?

That what happened today

was something holy?

I don't believe in miracles.

I'm not a saint, bro.

Today, for me and my family.

Today you were.

Alright, its late.

You believe what you believe,

I believe what I believe.

Okay that's fair enough.

What? What's that look. You want to scare me

Why? you want to take me to church.

- You read my mind, how about Sunday?

- No.

- You don't wanna go?

- I don't.

Come on, man. I'm gonna get my keys. Its late.

and you gotta get some sleep.

Yeah? Yeah,no problem.

What going on?

Where?

I'm on my way.

- Hey, what's up?

- So, you sure its her?

Yeah its her.

You realize what this means, right?

This is ain't about Weddo.

this is all about your buddy Collin

Alright, listen.

Do you have any luck tracking that

other number on Sonny's cellphone.

Another deadend. Prepaid phone

at a bogus address.

Do me a favor, check that

reporter's phone records,

see if that same number pops up anywhere.

- Do you think it's Colin's?

- Alright, I've gotta go.

I'll get back to you.

- What do we got here, Sean?

- It ain't good.

- Do you know who it is?

- Yeah.Her name is Stacey.

I inteviewed her yesterday.

I think she might be connected

for more possible suspects.

Possible... that would be

improbable now, would it?

Look,I hate to bring this up

but we got a call from headquarters.

The heat's being put on

them from city hall

and being hammered by press

about the shooting yesterday.

- They got you at the crosshairs.

- They want to offer me up.

- Kinda look that way.

- How much time do I have?

Tomorrow.

- Is there any way around it?

- I don't think so.

Alright..F*** 'em!

Look, I need your help.

Can you get the forensics to rush the

ID's of those guys from the shootout?

- Sean ...

- Come on, Pete.

I will do what I can.

- Yeah.

- I thought I was the smart one.

- Colin called him.

- About a dozen times.

goddamn it.

Why Malcom?

Why a reporter?

Yeah.He must got something big.

The guy have something

on these guys looking for him.

Or something they don't want

to go to the presss.

- We got to get him before they do.

- Alright, I'm on my way.

Tell me what you know.

You know everyone in this area.

Hey, what's up, cuz?

- Fools, are you lost or something?

- Hey, keep rolling hommie.

Where you get that?

from a cracker jack box?

What motherf***er,

you want to get a closer look?

Well, I love too..

f***ing cops.

- What the f*** is going on?

- Who are you?

Loose them.

- Can you recognize me, white boy?

- Yeah, I know who you are.

That's good. And I guess

we gotta cut the chase.

I wanna know what you know.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Do I look like a humorous

motherf***er to you?

Somebody butchered my family.

Roasted my baby brother alive.

It took from me the only thing good,

The only thing pure,

I have ever hand in.

We do not know sh*t.

Wait. Please... please.

You got this f***ing wrong.

This ain't about you,man.

This ain't about you.

What do you mean?

I know this ain't about Malcolm.

It's not about Malcolm.

It's about Malcolm's job.

Weddo, your brother was

in the wrong place

...at the wrong f***ing time, alright.

I understand what your heads at,man.

If I were you I would do

the same f***ing thing.

But trust me, this ain't the

way to handle this.

- Yeah? then what is?

- Let us do our jobs.

Weddo, hunting and tracking people

is what we are good at.

We'll find this motherf***er.

He's right. With us is your best chance

...to finding these guys

before they skip town.

Alright.

We'll let you go away for now,cop.

But know this brother.

I'm gonna be a shadow on your ass,

watching and waiting.

One way or another.They're gonna a

reckoning on this earth.

Some motherf***er's definitely gotta reap

buddy's soul. You heard me?

Yeah, I understand.

So we're right back

where we started from?

Let me check with Fed's first,

if they have any luck with the prints.

Yeah, we're on it.

Will's upstairs on the phone right now.

What did you find out?

Nothing. Nobody knows anything.

What about you guys?

Forensics identified the burned victim

from yesterday.

Yeah, Lewis Cunter.

- How did they tie in.

- Lewis was Sonny's errand boy.

And what about these guys?

That's what we are just talking about.

Its a strange deal.

All the ID's we found on them...

bogus!

All of them?

Yeah, but not the

usual internet garbage.

...real high quality stuff.

I honestly felt they were the

real deal til I ran them.

I want you to take a look

at pretty boy over here.

Here's something you might find interesting.

They dug them out of his shoulder.

At first, we thought
