and we need to talk!

We need to talk, Henry!

I have to go.

Hey, Mr. Hot...

Y eah.

I came here to do business.

- Sorry, only do business

with friends.

- Hey, no, hey, Mr. Hot.

Mr. Hot, seriously.

Look, buddy,

this isn't some f***in' TV show...

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Hot, thank you.

Hey.

Which one of you is Twinky?

That's me.

- Okay, I got what you need.

C'mon, let's do some business.

Come on.

I have almost 20,

but you give me an hour--

- I don't want your money.

You don't?

- No.

Alright, I'll do it,

but you've gotta gimme at least--

No, not that!

- Then what?! Whaddya want?

Johnny the Freak.

You know where he is.

You tell me where he is.

- I dunno anything.

That kinda sh*t, I could get--

- Tell me where he is!

You gotta

make it worth my while.

All of them.

Excuse me, officers -

please, I need your help.

I need your help right now.

Can you put your coffees down?

Please, I need your help.

I need you to come with me,

I've got an address.

Whoa, wait a minute.

What's going on?

I have an address

and I need you to take me there!

Okay?

- You, you're not allowed in here.

No, there's no time.

- Let's go! Come on!

There is no time!

There's no time!

No time!

- I don't let people like you

in my store!

- You shouldn't have done that!

You shouldn't have done that!

- Get in there!

I came here to help!

You should listen to me!

I came here...

to help!!!

Ahhh!

Officers.

Sonofabitch.

I thought I told you to stay

the f*** out of my store--

- Hey, hey! Relax!

Do not make you take me in,

all right?

I know exactly where he is.

What are you talking about?

The little kid.

I took him.

So, Henry...

what we got here

are some vagrancy charges.

Nothing like forcible confinement

or abduction...

Doesn't seem

like you're the kind of guy

that'd hurt a kid.

That's it?

You got nothing to say?

All right, Henry--

Ugh!

Sh*t, come on!

Ah...!

Little man!

Hey.

Little man, there you are.

Aw...

I've been worried about you.

Henry!

Step away from the boy!

He's right here.

- Step away from the boy!

Step away from the boy!!!

Ahhh...

- Just get him out of here.

He can't understand you!

You're gonna be fine, little man.

Oh, not in the puddle!!!

Not in the puddle!

You're gonna be fine, little man!

You're gonna be just fine!

You'll be fine!

He says he's not hurt.

All right, ask him

about the homeless guy.

Ask him if that guy ever...

touched him.

He says no.

He brought him here, right?

Even he admits that.

He says no.

That's not possible.

He must've misunderstood.

Ask him again.

No, the other man

brought him here.

The door was locked

and he was really scared.

He then got frightened

by the sirens

and ran away.

The other man

didn't do anything to him.

He would like to play chess

with him.

Go upstairs.

See if that guy

can give us anything

on where to find this...

other guy.

And if he doesn't?

Then we let him go.

Now that you got him back,

now that he's safe,

I need you

to promise me something.

Yeah?

I need you

to promise me one thing.

Sure.

- Okay?

Don't let him go swimming.

You live in your own world,

don't you, Henry?

Don't worry about it.

I promise not to let him go...

swimming.

Hey, Henry. Wait a minute.

Hey, uh...

why don't you let us

get you into a shelter?

At least get you a meal.

Whaddya say?

No...

Well, let us give you a ride.

At least run you back

to where we found you.

No, thank you.

No.

Thank you.

Waiting for the world

to come home

Everybody's gone

I'm here all alone

Waiting for the world

To come home

Waiting for the world

To come knockin' on my door

Just like it did before

I'm waiting for the world

To be born
