The Crow: Salvation Page #3

- Good for you. You do know something.

Don't ... say.

Just do.

Before this whole thing

comes tumbling down.

[ Sighs ]

- ldiots.

- Shh.

What are you doing?

Um, l dropped

an earring.

Well, it looks like

you've got them both on.

Alex Corvis

didn't kill Lauren.

Cops did,

didn't they?

You're in with them.

- lt isn't what you think.

- You killed her!

No! Erin!

lt wasn't supposed to happen!

- Stay away from me!

- Erin, please.

lt wasn't supposed to happen.

- She found out.

- About you?

About them. You have to

leave this alone, sweetheart.

Don't call me that!

Don't call me anything!

l would never do anything

to hurt Lauren or you.

- You have to believe me.

- l don't believe you.

- Please.

- They killed Alex because of you, Dad.

Now you killed

both of them.

- Please, leave him alone.

- Get your hands off me.

Calm down!

Put your hand down!

- l'm not makin' this up.

He had a crow with him.

- That's what you're tellin' me.

He said l lied at his trial.

lt's Alex Corvis.

So now we're talkin'

about a ghost...

with a f***in' pet bird,

is that right?

[ Crying ]

- Turn that--

Turn that f***in' baby down!

- Shh!

- [ Crying Continues ]

- l wanna show you somethin'

See this? See this here?

Come here. l wanna show you something,

all right? See that?

My name's next on his list.

lt's f***in' next.

l want you to tell me

who it is, Tommy.

- lt's Corvis. lt's Alex--

- Take your time.

l want you to think about it.

'Cause you gotta give me something other

than this bullshit you been spewin'

He said the whole trial

was a setup.

He said l caused an innocent kid

to die. ls that true?

ls that true?

[ Laughs ]

[ Tommy Groaning,

Screaming ]

[ Gun C*cks ]

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Gunshot ]

Alex?

Come on.

Check... and mate.

Dream on.

Oh, my God.

That really is you under there.

Two down.

Two to go.

Down?

Wait, don't tell me.

The cops...

at my trial.

They killed Lauren.

The whole thing was fixed.

You think l'm crazy.

No.

l'm thinking...

it explains a lot.

Lauren's father

is involved.

He bought these cops

fancy cars.

And l don't know

what else.

lt's a company

called D-E-R-T.

l think Lauren

found out.

What-- What do they do

that they had to kill her?

l was hoping

you'd find out.

l sure will.

[ Squawking ]

- [ Squawking ]

- Boo!

[ Squawks ]

What's with this bird?

Keeps hangin' around.

Alex?

[ Squawks ]

This is where

it happened.

Yeah, l know.

Are you okay?

When Lauren was missing,

the cops came

to our house.

They said they were looking

for her, right?

But now l know

they had her.

And the reason

they brought her here,

and they knew they could blame it

on you, is that l sent them here!

l told them she came here sometimes

with her dirtball boyfriend!

That's exactly what l said!

Erin, it's not your fault.

[ Crying ]

Oh, God, l wish l were dead.

- No, you don't .

- Yes, l do.

There were four of them!

- [ lndistinct Chattering ]

- Get her out of the car.

- C'mon, baby.

- No! No! No!

- Hold on. C'mon, baby!

- No! No!

Be nice, would ya?

You wanna see a little somethin'

[ Alex ] Four large men, and still

she grabbed one of their guns.

-[ Gunshot ]

- [ Screams ]

And she ran.

She ran for her life!

l don't wanna know!

She ran, them breathing

down her neck...

all the way

from the road...

to here.

[ Alex ]

Here's where it happened.

She turned and faced them

and went down,

kicking, and punching...

and tearing at them

as they stabbed her.

Fifty-three times.

[ Screaming, Crying ]

She fought

for her life...

because life

is worth living.

Think about that.

[ Whispering ]

Think about that.

And you tell me how much

you wish you were dead.

- Why wasn't this incident reported?

- Nothing to report.

All the prisoners

were present and accounted for.

- So you pretended nothing happened?

- Hey, Corvis fried.

l don't see how

it could've been him.

No, l wouldn't

expect you to.

Be forewarned. Nature takes its toll.

Bon appetit.

Okay, you lost him.

Now clear out.

- They botched the execution.

- Yeah, you could say that.

Christ! lt was Corvis.

Tommy Leonard was right.

Hey, babe?

F***in' crow.

Sign of the dead

come back to life.

How about sign of

a big black bird?

The dead can return

given sufficient motivation.

And Corvis has that.

l've studied this phenomenon before.

He's looking for something.

Won't stop

till he finds it.

Sometimes, the best way

to get rid of someone is...

to let them have what they want.

The man with the scar.

[ Laughs ]

[ Captain ] Give him the man with

the scar, then he'll lose his powers.

The man with the scar...

took everything

l ever cared about.

Left me with nothing.

So you're going

to kill him?

l have to find him first.

You know what Lauren and l

were fighting about that night?

She had a secret.

Wouldn't tell me.

My father.

All l knew was

she was pulling away.

lt made me crazy.

l used to be

so proud of him.

My big-deal daddy.

And now...

he's just a crook.

Worse even.

And the weird thing is...

l wish l could hate him,

but l can't .

He said he'd never hurt

either of us.

And l know it's true.

And l'm going back.

lt's what Lauren

would do.

l wanna forget.

Forget everything.

Keep it.

lt connects you to Lauren.

And it connects you to me.

No matter what happens,

l'll make sure everyone knows

that you're innocent.

That you loved her.

lf you need me,

you know where to find me.

- You know it doesn't work this way.

- l'm out of this,John.

Partnerships

don't end like that.

Friendships don't .

Our friendship...

ended when Lauren died.

[ Sighs ]

Do you believe in ghosts, Nathan?

- Because there's a ghost

threatening us.

- You mean Alex.

l mean Lauren.

Because you never accepted that

what happened to her was an accident.

Your men

killed my daughter.

- An accident, Nathan.

- She was 1 8 years old.

There were four of them.

They stabbed her 53 times.

Where's the accident,John?

Where's the f***ing accident?

l watched her grow up,

just like you.

l know how her mind worked.

She was snooping around

because she was worried about you,

about what you'd

gotten yourself into.

So stop blaming me...

and blame yourself.

l do... every day.

Erin knows,

doesn't she?

Don't bother.

You never were a good liar.

Look at this.

Everything we've worked for.

Now, you tell me.

What are we going to do?

Dad? You home?

[ Dripping ]

[ Dripping Continues ]

[ Dripping Stops ]

[ Dripping ]

[ Dripping Continues ]

[ Screaming ]

D-E-R-T is owned

by Westwind Builders,

Nathan Randall's company.

But DERT, in turn, owns

a dozen other corporations.

That's a big mess to wade through,

so l checked out Tommy Leonard.

Leonard, Dutton, Erlich.

They don't matter.

You understand?

l want the king.

We're getting there because,

in his so-called construction job,

Tommy makes a daily delivery

to a place called The Key Club.

- The strip joint?

- l believe they call it
