Blackway Page #3

Synopsis: A modern fable set against the rugged backdrop of a Pacific Northwest logging community, this is the story of Lillian, a young woman newly returned to her hometown who becomes the subject of harassment by a man named Blackway, an ex-cop turned violent crimelord who operates with impunity in this small community on the edge of the wilderness. Forsaken by the local townspeople, advised by the Sheriff to leave town, Lillian decides instead to take a stand against her sociopathic stalker, and enlists the help of an ex-logger Lester and his laconic young sidekick Nate-the only two men in town brave enough, or crazy enough, to go with her, and go up against Blackway.

my mom and I aren't

getting along.

- Oh, yeah?

Where is the bathroom?

- Up the stairs.

You gotta jiggle the

hand-d-d-le after you flush.

- You go to Mckinley?

- Nah, I was home schooled.

- Don't play well with others?

- Mom's real religious.

- What happened to his daughter?

- Killed herself.

Over the g-g-ghost of something.

He never talks about her.

- What's that?

- Hittin' rods.

- Bullshit.

I don't want guns in this.

- Uh huh.

How do you think we're gonna

get Blackway to leave you alone?

- I don't know, I

haven't gotten that far.

- Gonna reason with him?

Do you think he's

a reasonable man?

If you don't want to

do it, if you don't

want to go through with

this, say the word now,

I'll drop you at the

bus station, and, uh,

get the next bus out of town.

- We threaten him with that?

And he'll leave me alone?

- I don't know.

Your guess is as

good as mine, kiddo.

- Better know how to use it.

- Fasten your seatbelt.

- Afternoon, ladies.

- Scotty!

- Hey, just

been talking about you, Scott.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Girl come in here this

morning looking for you.

- Blackway's been following her.

- Bashed in her window.

- Killed her cat.

- What's that gotta do with me?

- Well, Windgate

sent her to find you,

he, uh, said you,

you'd had dealings

with Blackway in the past, and

might be able to help her out.

- Why?

- Might have figured you'd

want to even the score.

- Yeah, how many other ones

you went against him,

that time at the fort?

I seem to recall it being three.

- Don't remember.

Made my peace with Blackway.

I've got no score to settle.

- You got anything

else to say, Scotty?

I didn't think so.

- Fitz.

Fitz.

Hey Fitz,

it's Les.

Fitz, come on, open up.

Can we talk?

- Shut up.

- We're looking for Blackway.

- Why?

- Well, we'll just looking

for him, that's why.

- He was here.

This was, uh, my uncle Joe's.

You remember him?

- No.

- He's been dead, 20 years.

I'm not sure if it

even fires, anymore.

- What happened with Blackway?

What happened with

Blackway, Fitz?

- It was a business thing.

Blackway came in with a job.

A piece of land, over

near the key mountain.

Woman lives in Portland.

Blackway's got

his side contract.

So many feet, downs, roads,

you know how it works.

Looks ok.

So, we give Blackway

his broker's fee,

and away we go.

Shut the f*** up!

- Hey.

Shh.

- Sorry.

Not even my dog.

Anyway, we were in there,

the house, six weeks.

One day, I get a

call from the job boss.

Seems he's had a

visit from the owner.

And the sheriff's deputy.

The owner was pissed.

He doesn't know anything

about any logging jobs.

He doesn't know anything
