The Confirmation Page #4

Listen.

I'm going to tell you something.

Don't ever tell your mom, okay?

Okay.

These things

that they tell you...

They might be true,

they might not be true.

What do you think?

I think that I don't know,

and neither do they.

No matter what they say.

They don't know.

So, just in case,

maybe you should take Communion.

What about Confirmation?

Won't hurt you.

You know, just do it.

For your mom.

And once you're grown,

you can do what you want.

I can?

Absolutely.

You know, you can skip church

and listen to shitty metalheads,

if you want...

God forbid.

Just...

you know, listen

to what they say,

and then decide for yourself.

Do what you think

is right. Okay?

Okay.

(church bell tolling)

Walt:

Okay.

So, while you're in church,

I'm gonna go visit

this Drake fella.

If I'm late,

just wait for me right here.

I don't want to go to church.

But you have to.

You told me to make

my own decisions.

Well, not yet.

Why not?

I said when you grow up.

You told me to think about it,

and I thought about it.

Well, you're thinking

about it too much.

Look, I promised your mom

that you'd go to church.

I'll tell her you took me.

No, no, no, no.

That's not how it works.

Sh*t, Father Lyons.

Get down.

Okay, now get in there.

I'll go if you go.

(engine starts)

Hey!

You must be Walt.

I'm Drake.

You talked to Vaughn?

I did.

He caught me up.

Man, I'm on it.

I'm on the case, all right?

This is what I do.

Are you a detective?

Nope. I'm a drywaller.

What's your name?

Anthony.

Anthony!

What do you do?

Um, I go to school.

All right, keep doing that.

Make sure he keeps doing that.

I got five names last night.

People are already talking.

- They are?

- Oh, yeah!

Can you help us now?

It would be an honor

to help any friend of Vaughn's.

That guy's done so much for me.

I'll co-pilot. Okay?

That means I gotta ride shotgun.

You cool with that?

- Yeah.

- All right.

Let's go. Come on.

Here we go.

Drake:
Walt,

you wanna drive straight.

Okay? Make it look like

you're driving down the street.

It's exciting, right, Anthony?

Yeah.

Who gave you these leads?

Well, I know

half the tradesmen in Kent,

and I know all the thieves.

All right.

Okay, we're coming up

on one now,

so ease on up here.

You know, I was worried about

bringing Anthony,

but this guy is an old soul.

Now I'm glad he's here,

because this is life experience.

This is great. Okay.

See the grey... Grey one

in the driveway?

The Grey car? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, right there, right there.

- Here?

- Yeah.

Park across the driveway

so they can't pull out.

Let me do all the talking.

Remember the INXS lyric,

"Listen like thieves"?

That's what you're gonna do. I'm

gonna do the talking.

You're gonna listen

like thieves.

Here we go. Okay.

What's up, guys?

Can I help you?

(sighs)

Go ahead, Walt.

Ask him straight out.

Are you, uh...

Who are we looking for?

(scoffs)

Have him tell you

his supposed real name.

What's going on here, fellas?

Someone, uh,

stole a toolbox of mine,

and someone else said

that you might know

something about it.

You're accusing me

of stealing your tools?

No.

Yes! Walter.

Don't let him smoke you.

Sir, we have evidence

that, if true,

you know, indicts you,

more or less.

(laughing)

Wow, this is your lucky day.

You know why?

Because normally

I'd kick your ass right now.

But... kind of in a good mood

because we've been

camping all week

and we just got home.

Drake, can I talk to you?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hang on, hang on.

Woman:

Yeah, that way.

After you unload the car,

let's go inside

and get cleaned up.

This guy doesn't look like

he's jacking tools

out of trucks.

Yeah, I'm starting

to have my doubts,

so let's move his name

a little further down the list.

Yeah, let's do that.

Good call. All right?

Excellent audible.

I apologize.

Have a good day.

I'm a Boeing engineer.

How do I even get on your radar?

Yeah, it's my mistake.

I'm, uh, I'm sorry

to trouble you, sir.

That was on me. Okay?

I should not have trusted

the guy that gave me that name.

He's a nut.

Who gave you the tip?

You don't want to know.

All right?

Here's the good news.

I know all the other names

on this list.

All the other ones, I know them.

They're in the building trades.

They know the tools, okay?

So let's just, uh...

This guy, let's go to Central.

Maybe we should

just forget this.

I'm sorry.

This was a bad start, I know,

but I want to help you

and Vaughn find your man.

Don't you want to check out

one more name on this list?

Yeah, I don't know

anyone on there.

It's... good!

I'm glad you don't know them,

because these are criminals.

I'm gonna take you

back home, Drake.

I appreciate your help.

(sigh)

(car starts)

You okay, Drake?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm just, you know,

never been a quitter.

Right?

God, slow down.

Walt, Walt, Walt!

- What?

- That's Freddy Johnson.

His name is on my list, okay?

I've known him all my life.

Let me take him down.

Okay, listen.

He works with carpenters.

He steals. His name came up

from all my sources, okay?

Watch this.

(door opens)

Ready or not, here I come!

Get away from me, Drake!

(both grunting)

What do you know

about the finishing

tools stolen yesterday?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Then why are you running?

Because you're an insane person!

Hey, hey, hey.

Let him up.

One second, one second,

one second.

Look, I know that you know.

Even if you didn't do it,

you better start talking,

Freddy, or I'm gonna

mess you up.

I don't know anything.

Freddy, you know what I can do.

Okay! Okay, okay.

You know

the Thuringer brothers, right?

Yeah! They're on the list.

They're on the list.

Yeah. They took 'em.

Do you know

what they did with them?

- I just heard about it.

- From who?

I can't say, but it's solid.

They said the Thuringer brothers

were talking about it,

laughing, even.

Where did they steal 'em?

A tavern?

Okay, let him go, Drake.

If you're lying...

I'm just saying what I heard.

Can I go now, officer?

Funny, Freddy. Yeah.

So, when we get there, should...

Should I do the talking?

No, Walt, let me

do the talking, okay?

I know these guys,

and they don't scare me.

Well, it's just

that first guy...

Drake:
Yeah, okay,

well, that threw me off

because I thought

I knew who the guy was,

and it turned out

to be another guy.

This one, I'm on it,

I got it, okay?

Just pull down this little...

This little alley, right here.

All right, there you go.

Okay.

Okay.

Stay in the car.

I mean it.

These guys are slow.

All right?

They're dimwits, really.

They'll indict themselves.

- Hey, Drake, how you doing?

- Hi, Drake.

Drake:

Walt, this is Tucker...

- Hey.

- And Trout.

This is Walt.

This is the guy

whose toolbox you stole.

(snickers)

What?

Guys, we have refutable evidence

that you took the guy's toolbox.

Just own up.

I don't want any trouble,

but I need my tools.

Hey, Drake,
