A History of Violence Page #3

Aah!

Uhh.

- Aah!

- Uhh.

Unh.

I'm telling you,

those men were...

They were going to kill us.

They were going to kill us,

and if it weren't for Tom...

He's a hero.

...in conjunction with

several murders in those states.

Now, Tom Stall

is a family man...

with longstanding ties

to this community.

Tom Stall

was just another hard-working...

small business

owner and operator...

in Millbrook, Indiana,

but now...

Um, one of the guys

had a... a gun to my head...

and Tom...

He was amazing. He...

Hi, baby.

- Hey, honey.

- How you doing?

How are you?

Uhh.

Are you as sick of hearing

about me as I am?

No, I kind of like it.

Look.

Your picture's in the paper.

Oh, God.

Careful.

- Hi, guys.

- Mom.

Can l... Can I get up now?

- You got it, Dad?

- Yeah.

- Way to go, Tommy.

- We're all here for you, Tom.

Way to go, Tom.

- Hi, sweetie.

- Oh, that's so nice.

Thank you so much for coming.

We're in Millbrook,

just outside the home...

of American hero Tom Stall...

who's just now returning from

the hospital with his family.

Mr. Stall,

Jenny Wyatt, WRPK news.

I have a few questions for you.

How did it feel...

when you saw the guns

of those ruthless killers...

pointed directly at you?

- How did it feel?

- Yeah.

Not very good.

Not very good.

Were you surprised, though...

by your own reaction

to the situation?

Uh... what I did was...

I mean,

anybody would have done that.

It was just...

It was a terrible thing.

I think we'll all be better off

when we get past it.

Yeah, but you really went

beyond what the average...

l... I need to... I really need

to be with my family.

Thanks.

I'm Jenny Wyatt in Millbrook,

and that was Tom Stall...

American hero, man of few words.

Well, I guess that's all

we're going to get.

Man, it's good to be home.

I hope there won't be

too much more of that.

Hey, Dad, they all just

want to interview you...

because of what you did.

You're a hero, Dad. Ha ha!

No, I'm not.

I just got lucky... very lucky.

This will all blow over...

as soon as they find

some other hot story.

Yeah. Maybe the Lydons will have

another two-headed cow.

You guys

aren't thinking big enough.

You could probably do

Larry King Live, Dad.

- That would be cool.

- Oh, you stop it. Stop it.

Look at this... more reporters.

Are they still there?

Yeah. Now there's some car

parked across the road.

- They're just sitting there.

- Huh.

- Does anyone want some tea?

- I'll take some, Mom.

Yes, please.

Unh. Aw, jeez.

Hey, Edie.

Hi. How are you?

- Did you go to the shop?

- Yes, sir.

Hello. Hey, Bill.

- Hi, honey.

- Hi, baby. How are you?

Oh, I'm all right.

What brings you by?

I just wanted to see
