The Long Haul Page #5

Synopsis: Desperate to earn money, Harry hooks back up with Joe Easy. The best scene is when they make the final run to cash out a load of furs and they get lost on the way through the forest. The three drive the truck over the mountain to connect with the waiting ship in the harbor. The rocky terrain is a tense journey, until they try to cross the steam. Then it gets really good when they get stuck and have to remove a front tire in the middle of the stream. Harry's arm gets caught under the truck fender, they get loose but can't get up the embankment. There's an OK fist fight and then the trucks load slide off and crushes Joe Easy. That gets Harry & Lynn to the waiting ship. Harry then has guilty remorse and returns with Lynn to the wife and hospitalized son. They reconcile and the Police arrest harry for all his crimes.Lynn heads back to her dead end life at "The Congo Club"

You had better be quick.

Harry, let me take it.

This is my responsibility. Not yours.

But Harry, they're bound

to be looking for you.

They may even be watching the house.

Please, Harry.

Alright. Here.

Is it Mrs Miller?

Yes.

Could I come in for a moment?

What do you want?

Harry asked me to give you this.

Are you the ..?

Yes.

Mrs Miller?

Yes, doctor.

I shall have to call an ambulance.

An ambulance?

Why, what's wrong?

What's the matter with him?

The boy has a brain

haemorrhage, Mrs Miller.

He must have banged his head

rather severely somehow.

I see he's got rather a bad bruise.

How did that happen?

The other day, he ..

He .. fell ..

Well, we must get him to

hospital straight away.

Excuse me.

Western docks.

What's the matter?

Everything go alright?

- Hmm.

How'd she take it?

She took it.

The kid .. did you see him?

Well, did you?

Driver, could you go quicker.

We're in a hurry.

Lynn, is .. is there something

wrong with him?

Lynn, I'm asking you. Is there?

Harry.

They're taking him to hospital.

Hospital?

Why?

I don't know. The doctor said

something about banging his head.

Driver, turn around and go back.

Harry, are you crazy?

The police are watching the house.

Please listen to me.

Turn around and go back, driver.

Harry, don't you understand in a few days

we'll be a hundred miles away from here.

I love you.

I love you like I never loved

anybody before in my whole life.

I couldn't ber it if you took

it away from me again.

Please, Harry.

Please.

What do you want me to do?

Go back.

Butch?

Buth.

Are you his father?

Yes.

I'm his father.

Will he be alright?

Don't worry. We'll look after him.

Are you coming in the ambulance, madam?

Yes, I'm ..

Do you know the Congo Club?

Yes, Miss.

Just take me there.
