The Boondock Saints Page #31

He backs against the building and slides down to a sitting

position in the bushes as if he has given up. He raises his

head and there he sees Rocco's pinky finger lying undiscovered

in the bushes. He pulls a small plastic bag from his pocket

and scoops it up. He shoves it back into his pocket and races

off.

DUFFY:

What? That's it?!

INT. ROCCO'S MOM'S KITCHEN NIGHT

Rocco, Connor, and Murphy are sitting around the table.

They are numb with pain and silently sipping beers. Suddenly,

Smecker comes on the news making an announcement that he is

heading up the investigation to find the three of them.

Rocco shuts it off.

CONNOR:

Sh*t.

ROCCO:

What?

(points to TV)

What, that guy?

MURPHY:

That's the guy that got us off the

hook with the "Checkov" thing.

CONNOR:

And he is one smart man.

ROCCO:

They got nothing.

CONNOR:

This guy is very sharp. If he hasn't

figured us out yet, he will.

MURPHY:

You bet your ass he will.

ROCCO:

Well, I'd say that makes him a lia-

f***in-bility.

The boys look at each other.

CONNOR:

He isn't to be touched.

MURPHY:

He's a good man.

ROCCO:

Okay... whatever.

(looking at the bloody

mess)

My Mom's gonna kill me.

INT. SMECKER'S BEDROOM NIGHT

Smecker is sitting at a computer terminal. He has just hooked

into the F.B.I.'s computer network with his authorization

code. He is disgusted as he puts on surgical gloves and finger

prints the severed finger onto a scanner. He waits for a

moment. Rocco's face and rap sheet come up on his screen. He

is in disbelief.

SMECKER:

No. This is all wrong. David Della

Rocco?

FLASHBACK EXT. POLICE STATION FRONT STEPS

Rocco on the steps of the police station when Rocco brought

the boys their clothes.

BACK TO PRESENT INT. SMECKER'S BEDROOM NIGHT

He picks up the phone.

MARIA (V.O.)

Boston Police Department.

SMECKER:

Yeah. Maria, this is Smecker. Could

you find me the visitor's list for

the day the MacManus brothers were

in and read me all the names?

She reads a few names then hits David Della Rocco.

SMECKER:

Okay, thank you.

He hangs us, puts in a smoke, and knocks his head back in

deep thought.

INT. GAY BAR NIGHT

Smecker is drinking like a fiend. He is disturbed and rowdy.

He's a bad drunk. He downs a shot and motions for another

one. The BARTENDER comes over.

BARTENDER:

You've had quite a bit, Paul. Are

you sure you...

SMECKER:

Pour the drink, f*ggot-ass!

He obeys. A good looking gay man comes up and whispers in

Smecker's ear and points to the back room.

SMECKER:

Okay... But I don't cuddle.

They proceed to the back. Smecker is stumbling.

EXT. STREET IN FRONT OF CHURCH EARLY MORNING

Rocco pulls Vincenzo's car to the curb and the MacManus'

exit.

ROCCO:

Hey! We gotta talk about this early

morning church sh*t.

MURPHY:

We have to go now.

(giggles)

We're on the lamb.

EXT. STREET IN FRONT OF THE GAY BAR EARLY MORNING

Smecker staggers out of the bar. He is an absolute wreck.

Rocco exits a package store just down the street. He is

opening a new pack of cigarettes. He is surprised when he

sees Smecker at the other end of the block. He follows the

stumbling agent, fumbling for his gun.

EXT. STREET IN FRONT OF CHURCH EARLY MORNING

Paul sees a church and reflects for a moment before crossing

the street and going in, Rocco a safe distance behind.

INT. CHURCH EARLY MORNING

Connor and Murphy are at prayer in the back of the church.

It is mostly empty because of the early hour.

Connor looks up and sees Smecker and Rocco way up in the

front. His eyes are ablaze. He is up and walking and does

not bother Murphy, who remains penitent. There are two

confessional booths with a priest booth in the middle.

Smecker goes in the booth on the far left. Rocco tries the

door, it's locked. A middle-aged PRIEST slips a key in the

priests booth and opens the door. Rocco shoves him in and

goes in behind him. Connor has quickened his pace. He tries

both doors. They're locked. He goes into the confessional on

the right.

INT. CHURCH PRIEST'S BOOTH EARLY MORNING

Rocco puts his gun to the priest's head.
