Death Wish II Page #4

Hollywood at western.

That's it, kiddo.

Give'em the local news.

(radio) My car's such a mess,

a few more bangs wouldn't matter.

Here's Geri Nichols

with news of an experiment

that's taking young people

away from crime.

(Geri) In Illinois state prison...

Over the hill and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born

Thou would not be a sinner

I'll tell you the reason why

Praise the Lord...

(man and woman arguing)

(woman screams)

(woman screams)

(shouting)

(woman screams)

- No!

- Come on.

(man) Stop! Stop!

Stop, please, no!

- I will be good.

- Mary!

(thug) We're just borrowin'

your mama, motherf***er.

(man) Don't hurt Mary.

Keep back!

No! Please, please.

(sirens)

(breaking glass)

Hey, watch out, a**hole.

Goodbye.

(sirens)

Come with me.

(sirens)

Hey, over here!

Hold it a minute.

Let me get this straight.

Some guy pops up out of nowhere,

he starts shooting, and you and your

wife can't describe him.

That guy saved our lives, damn it.

Where were you guys?

Giving out parking tickets?

Hold him.

All right, lady. What did he look like?

He was... uh... He was...

He was a good citizen.

That's what he was.

He was a killer.

You want to stay here for ever, play it

that way. You're vital witnesses.

Don't play games.

You both saw him. I want a description.

He's 21. Blond. With a club foot.

Funny. I saw a large black man with a

red beard.

Let them get me to the hospital or I'll give

the press interviews you won't believe.

Take him.

(man) Close it off upstairs.

Close it off.

You know what we've got here,

don't you? A goddamn vigilante.

My wife goes to mace class,

would you believe that?

The police commissioner's wife

learning to spray attackers.

Now you say there's a vigilante out there.

My God. The lid's just kept down now.

I can see panicked citizens on the streets

if this gets out.

They'll knock off anyone with long hair

or tacky clothes.

I can find him.

If we start an investigation,

the press will hear.

I learn about my

own force in the newspapers.

Tell me...

...wasn't there a vigilante

in Boston about five years ago?

- New York.

- New York. Right.

Get on to them.

See how they handled it. It stopped.

- What about this report? You've...

- I know.

The Los Angeles police has asked for

advice on the vigilante situation.

There's something else

you should know, sir.

- Paul Kersey now lives in Los Angeles.

- Are you suggesting he's killing again?

Paul Kersey was an interesting man,

so I kept a loose tab on him.

He worked in Chicago for a while,

where he met an old friend

with a radio station in LA.

He transferred his business out there.

That doesn't mean
