The Lucky Man Page #8

Synopsis: Traveling Route 66, a charismatic preacher, Reverend Johnny Jones, and his seductively beautiful Latina girlfriend, Rebecca, find their lives spiraling out of control as they travel from small town to small town; running their scam on the churches they encounter along the mother road. He's able to convince people he has the power to heal their illnesses and solve their most dreadful life experiences. But what the couple think is their scam begs the question does he really have the power? It's a question that haunts him and only intensifies his inner demons. Scarred for life, his childhood abuse from his evil father won't soon go away. He finds temporary refuge at the bottom of each bottle of tequila and endless grams of cocaine that goes up his nose. His childhood demons will not subside, neither will his vices. In the end, his powers serve as a blessing and a curse. Hang on tight while we follow this perilous couple's journey into the abyss of miracles and tragedy.

Sweet Jesus. What the f*** did

you do? Come on. We gotta go.

Oh God. Come on.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t. I just don't

get it Becca. I don't understand

what the f*** just

came over you.

You just blew

those people away.

I'm sorry.

We're so screwed.

I, I didn't want to be a single

mom. I got scared, Johnny.

Well just... next time

let me f***in' handle it...

alright? Just... don't start

shootin' people. F***!

Ba..., Babe...

do you think you can stop at

the next town? I need to use the

restroom and I wanna call mi

mama. I won't tell her anything,

I promise. I just need to talk

to her. It makes me feel better.

Yeah, I guess.

I just.. gotta keep

this car outta sight, honey.

We're, We're f***in' wanted now.

They got us on camera now. This

is it. There's no turning back.

We only got about

fifty miles to go. Sh*t.

I miss my mom.

F***. I know baby.

I'm a killer now. I'm no better

than pinche Charlie Madson.

It's Manson baby. Manson's a

psychopath. You're...-

you're nothing like him. You're

trying to protect us. I get it.

I understand. God'll forgive

you. I forgive you.

You just can't do

sh*t like that.

Promise me that we're gonna

raise our baby to be good.

And not like us. I'm ashamed of

the things that we've done.

I promise baby.

Everything is gonna be okay.

We're gonna make it.

REBECCA'S MOM:

Hola!?

Hey mom, it's me Becca.

Ay, mija, why haven't you called

me? I've been worried sick.

Mira, mama. Solo dispongo de un minuto.

(just needed a minute)

I just wanted to call and let

you know that I'm alright.

Mija,

I'm just worried about you.

Please, please come home.

Look, Mommy, Johnny and I

are going to Mexico.

We're going to start a family.

I can't tell you

a lot more than that but I

promise as soon as I get there,

I'll let you know more... okay?

Hijole mija Mexico.

Okay, please.

Please just be

careful and call me

when you get there.

I will. I promise.

Okay, mama.. I have to go.

But, I love you.

Bye, mi amor. I love you too.

Please be careful, don't forget

to call... I love you.

Te amo, mama.

(good bye)

Te amo.

[MELANCHOLY GUITAR MUSIC]

[MELANCHOLY GUITAR MUSIC]

Almost there. Another fifty

miles and we're home free.

Hmm, I'm happy for us.

My mom is a nervous wreck.

I have to call her as soon as we

get there. I hate putting her

through this. I love you.

I love you too, sexy.

[HARMONICA PLAYS]

So we know that if it's a boy

it'll be Johnny the third.

But, what are we going to

name it if it's a girl?

I don't know.

I'm not good with names.

Just pick something from the

Bible. It's always a safe bet.

Okay.

How about Abigail?

Oh God, anything but that,

Becca. Jesus! Abigail?

Sounds like an old lady.

[HARMONICA SOUNDS ENSUE]

How about Ana?

I have a tia named Ana.

Ana, alright. I

can live with that.

Ana it shall be. I'm

still hopin' for Trey though.

Trey? What is Trey? I thought it

was gonna be Johnny the third?

Yea... John... Trey means three.

It's a white thing I guess.

Well, whatever. It's gonna

be a boy. I can feel it.

[HARMONICA SOUNDS ENSUE]

BORDER PATROL AGENT:

US Citizen? Habla English?

THUG:
No habla engles.

(I don't speak english)

Salir de coche, por favor.

(open the door please)

He's gotta a gun!

[LIGHT AND HAPPY

SYMPHONIC MUSIC]

Ahhh sh*t. What's this?

That doesn't look good.

Is that the border?

Naaa, it's one of them

check points.

[CRACK!]

What the f*** was that?

No! No, no, no, no, no.

No! What the f***?

Jesus Christ. Becca. No, no, no.

You're gonna be okay.

You'll be fine. Oh sh*t.

HELP!

[SPANISH GUITAR MUSIC ENSUES]

You're gonna be okay.

Oh God. Oh God.

REBEC... Oh sweet... No, no, no,

no, no, no, no... God, no, no.

HELP!

Oh Father, what do I do? No, no,

no, no, no. Oh Becca, Ohhh sh*t,

Lord. Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I

need you more now than I've ever

have. Please Heavenly Father.

Save this woman that I love and

my unborn child. Please God,

please. Take me instead of them.

Please God, please

take me. Please.

Oh babe, babe. Babe,

you're bleeding.

You're safe. You're safe.

- No! Baby?

- Thank God, you're safe.

You and the baby are all that

matter... take care of the baby.

What happened? No!

God's calling me home.

Johnny? Hey baby. No, no! No!

[SYMPHONIC STRING MUSIC BEGINS]

Well folks, that's how I went

out. I made some mistakes.

Some big ones. God gave me the

power to help, to heal.

Sometimes I used it for the good

of the people and several times

I let my selfishness and

lack of faith get in the way.

The good father

had bigger plans for me.

So he's decided to

take me home.

Rebecca and the baby,

they'll be fine.

God granted me

one last miracle.

Life for my love and a

future for my unborn baby.

If you were wondering, an angel

just whispered in my ear...

it'll be a Trey after all.

Becca's gonna have a handful if

he turns out anything like me.

Hell, I'm not complaining,

all things considered...

the good and the bad,

I was truly a lucky man...

Adios!
