The River Thief Page #2

I've already paid more

than you could imagine.

You think stealing gives

you control?

Well, gratitude gives

you freedom.

The car is not for sale,

and neither is my food.

But you can have it.

Thanks for the steak.

Money's on the table.

[door slams]

[car starts]

Did he just take your car?

I told you he would come.

What can you tell me

about this thief?

Based on the calls that

came into the station,

I'd say he's on some

kind of a spree.

He's not local.

Last night I went through the

high school rosters over

the last couple years,

there was nothin'.

If he's here I'll find him.

If? If?!!

Thieves run!

They always run!

He's a drifter with

a million dollars in

a bag.

He's on a plane...

or a boat...

or a bus...

or he hitched a ride and he's...

perched up in some cab

on a long haul rig

on his way to Mexico.

This kid is gone!

Trust me!

Clyde...

If I thought this kid was gone,

then I'd be gone too.

Long gone.

I'd put a bullet in that

psychotic head of yours,

because I know that the

Sinaloa cartel

would come and get me

if I didn't.

But, I'm not. I'm here,

and you're here.

And you're breathing.

And I will find this kid.

You can find him?

I'm gonna find him.

Because a kid like this

can't lay low.

He needs to bang drums

and raise flags.

He's gonna make a mistake.

That's why I'll catch him.

And when I do...

then you can skin him.

I'll stop by the store

on the way home

Sorry you have to walk.

That is not your fault. At all.

I'm the one who gave

him the car,

and I meant it.

Maybe I'll come down for lunch.

Don't.

I'll be back soon.

Seriously?

You think this makes

anything ok?

Stay here. Take him wherever

he wants to go.

I'll stay here all month!

You better believe it,

have mercy...Whoo!

Oh! Thank you!

A limo?

Just give back his car,

you moron.

Ok.

I'll buy a new one.

I did pay for it, but he can

keep the money.

You're unbelievable.

Are you wearing cologne?

It's just a sample I got from a

place with new clothes.

Bought new clothes.

I didn't know if it

would be stupid.

Well it is.

You smell like my best friend's

creepy uncle.

What is your goal here?

What are you hoping

to accomplish?

Here?

Yes. Stalking me to work

after stealing my granddad's

car

I did leave money.

You're unbelievable. Shut up.

I should call the cops on you.

but then Bamps would say

that he gave you the car

and everything is fine,

because he's just as crazy

as you are.

Did you rob a bank?

Yes, a bank. A place where

people have money.

Yesterday you were this

punk thief kid

and now all of a sudden

you have all this money.

So, did you rob a bank?

No, I just...

...I want you to like me.

You my friend have the world's

shortest memory.

Yesterday's still pretty

vivid for me.

Don't follow me!

I have no problem running

into the street

and telling some redneck

to get out his gun

and shoot you!

[exhale]

Sorry I'm late!

I had to walk.

Well, Happy Birthday or

whatever it is...

but if you don't mind

can you tell your boyfriends

to stop?!

[background sizzling]

[traffic]

[traffic]

[traffic]

"It's a boy"?

I bought all the balloons

they had.

And no more flowers.

It's starting to look like

a funeral home in there.

[door closes]

[traffic]

Hey, how's it going today?

We shopping for a girlfriend?

Or your mother perhaps?

Is it a sister?

Just a girl.

That one.

[laughing] That is gonna be

pretty pricey for

'just a girl'.

I, uh...

But I probably have some little

things over here that...

that would be in your budget.

And what is my budget?

I'm just trying to be helpful.

Aren't you supposed to want

as much of my money

as you can get?

All I want is a happy customer.

Then:

That one.

That is a very valuable

estate piece

that we're planning

on moving

through a Seattle auction house.

I'm sure I have some other

things

over there that are more

afford--

And how will we be paying

for this?

With money.

Or, I could just smash the

glass and run.

Money will be fine.

I'll be right with you.

Are you Selah?

Your boyfriend's crazy.

In a good way.

[door closing]

[box slams]

[traffic]

Get over here!

I didn't steal it!

I can show you the receipt.

You don't understand anything.

You can't have me.

Maybe if I was desperate

for male attention.

But, I'm not that girl. Sorry.

And you can't buy me either

cuz... I'm not a whore.

That's n ot w hat I meant...

I just...

I'm just trying to do

something r ight.

Swing and a miss.

Sorry.

Great taste though.

Wait.

How do you m ake s omeone

forgive you?

You don't.

You can't.

You can a sk.

It's a gift. Kind of like

the right girl.

Can I drive you home after?

I'm not getting in a

car with you.

Well, can I walk you then?

You can carry the groceries.

And come over and apologize

to Marty.

And return the car.

I want to be different.

Than you were yesterday?

Or right now?

You're saying this kid paid

all in hundreds?

Yeah, he overpaid by $2,000

But I saved the bills if you

wanna see them, I saved them

Well listen if you have a

clear shot

of him from one of your

security cameras

I'd really appreciate it if you

texted it to this number.

No, we always follow up.

Well, thank you for

calling it in.

You got a problem?

Not in my world. How about

yours?

Yeah, just a second.

The way I hear it, the hearing

didn't go so well.

Bad news is coming down.

But here you are, ordering

fingerprints on a pink

bicycle.

Interviewing a kid who

spilled his drink,

And rushing down here over

a hundred bucks

Feels kinda personal, Saul.

What's really going on?

You dancing on the dark

side again?

If I lose my badge...

would you rather it was

for something

I did a month ago?

Or something I do to you...

right here and right now?

Cuz either way I don't

give a damn.

I got that shot pulled up

for you in the back.

Great.

[radio]

[radio]

Be a little more specific -- Ok

or I'll knock those teeth

out of your head

and I'll give them to the

kid --

Where's the kid that left

all this stuff?

I hope I'm not treatin'

it wrong.

What are you treating

what wrong?

He went to get some burgers

or somethin'!

He's getting some burgers?

Yeah!

Give her a huge tip.

Fourth or sixth or something,

I don't k now!

Do a little better.

Fourth and a half!

Fourth and half? Ok!

Haha, I don't know...

Are you the Reaper?

[gunshot]

[body falling]

Yeah, I'm the Reaper.

[radio]

[gunshots]

[engine dies]

[gunshot]

[siren]

[gunshots]

Hey!

What's up?

That guy? Do not let him in, ok?

Don't let him in.

[machines running]

Hey!

You see a kid go in there?

Maybe.

[door slams]

Oops.

You have a key?

I don't have a key.

[machinery running]

[gunshot through door]

[machinery running]

[machinery running]

Hey, pervert!

Sorry, I'm a cop, I thought

he was someone else.

Did he touch you

inappropriately?

Yeah! Inappropriately!

I'm recording this conversation!

It was a mistake lady!

- What did he do to you?
