A History of Violence Page #5

Uh-huh?

This is a nice town.

We have nice people here.

We take care of our nice people.

- Do you understand me?

- Yeah, sure.

Don't let me see you around

again.

You keep up the good work,

officer.

Charles Roarke, Philadelphia.

Indicted

on three counts of murder.

Frank Mulligan,

out of New York...

indicted on one count of murder.

Questioned in relation

to dozens of acts of violence...

that you don't want

to hear about.

Both men work for Carl Fogarty.

He's the fella with the eye.

He spent fifteen years in prison

on several counts of assault.

He's suspected

in half a dozen murders...

and more disappearances.

Tom, these guys are organized

crime from the east coast.

Now, they're the real thing.

They're bad men.

Jesus. Jesus, honey.

I have to ask you a question.

Are you in some kind

of witness protection plan?

- Sam.

- Some kind of what?

This is no laughing matter,

Edie.

Of course he's not, Sam.

I'd just like to hear

Tom say that.

OK. No. No,

I'm not in a witness program.

Those men just have

the wrong guy.

They must've seen me on TV,

and I guess, uh...

I reminded them

of this Johnny guy.

- Joey.

- J-Joey somebody.

I mean, good lord.

The idea of me...

I never honestly believed it,

but I had to ask.

I've done some research

on this, uh, Joey Cusack.

I didn't find anything.

But there is a Richie Cusack

in Philadelphia.

Apparently, he's the head...

of some kind of crime syndicate

in that city.

Men like this come to our town

and start harassing a citizen...

we have to take them seriously.

Sure.

All right. So, if you folks

see them coming around...

you let me know.

Will do.

I'm sorry, Sam. Do you want

a piece of pie or something?

Ah, no, thanks, Edie.

I'd love to,

but I've gotta get back to work.

Thank you. Thanks for coming.

Uh, Sam? Thank you.

It's good to know

you're watching out for us.

Come on, Tom.

You know we look out

for our own here.

- Good night.

- Good night.

See ya. Thanks.

Huh.

Don't worry.

They're as good as gone.

Sorry. Sorry.

It's over and done with.

OK.

Honey. Can you get that, hon?

Come on, come on!

Hello?

The shotgun, Edie!

Get the shotgun!

Tom, Tom... Tom, what's wrong?

They're coming to the house!

Who's coming to the house?

Just grab it!

Do it and be ready!

OK, stop. Are you serious?

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Sh*t.

Come on.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, come on.

Come on.

Edie! Oh.

Ohh, f***. Tom!

Tom. Tom, what's going on?

- l...

- Huh?

l... I don't know, baby.

Jesus.

What's going on?

I don't... I don't know. Ohh.

Let me call Sam, all right?

- No, don't.

- OK.

l... I don't even know...

l... I don't know

why I thought... l...
