ODD THOMAS:
My name is Odd Thomas.
Though in this age when fame is the
altar at which most people worship.
I'm not sure why you should care.
I'm not a celebrity.
I'm not the child of a celebrity.
abused by,
or provided a kidney to a celebrity.
Green Moon Bowling
But I do lead an unusual life.
Penny Kalisto.
My name really is Odd.
According to my mother, it was
a screw-up on my birth certificate.
She says I was supposed to be called
Todd, after a Lithuanian uncle.
was always Odd...
and he notes that all of
my uncles are Bulgarian.
My father claims
my mother is insane.
My mother, of course,
begs to differ.
My abilities are a gift from God!
My father won that argument.
I was 12 years old when they finally
locked her up and threw away the key.
I've come to believe that
my mother and I share certain...
abilities.
Since I don't want to be locked up
with the key thrown away...
I've pretty much kept mine a secret.
Odd Thomas.
Hello, Harlo.
Long time, no see.
Whoa! Whoa! Hey, hey.
Come on, man. No touchy, no feely.
- Sorry, but I love this car.
- I know.
It's too bad a car
can't love you back.
What's wrong, Odd?
There anything I can do?
No, it's something
you've already done.
Hey! Hey! Come on- oh, Odd.
No fooling around, man.
- Give me my keys.
- Her blood is in your pocket.
that's a weird thing to say...
but you don't think
it's very weird, do you, Harlo?
On that night...
you took a piece of white felt...
you collected some of her blood.
And now it's dry...
and stiff and
brittle like a cracker...
and it's still in your pocket.
In moments like these,
pity tears at me.
And a kind of madness
comes over me...
forcing me to hunt people
like Harlo Landerson...
who I have no pity for whatsoever.
Sorry, Mrs. Curtees!
Sorry, Saleen!
What the hell are you doing?
Mom, what's going on?
Stevie, run honey, run!
Come here!
My life is filled with guys
like Harlo Landerson.
And since I like my face
just the way it is...
I learned how to handle myself.
I may see dead people, but then,
by God, I do something about it.
Hey. Hey!
Shift down, man! Go easy.
I'm sorry, sir,
but I don't have a "go easy" gear.
You should probably get that looked at.
Now, Officer Eckles...
give you the right to beat
the shit out of people?
Not at all, Officer Varner.
But it is one of
the perks of the job.
and the afterlife.
Call me strange.
Others do.
He's so strange.
Don't worry, Penny.
is a home for the spirit...
and it's filled with
kindness and wonder.
I'm sorry, Penny.
I'm sorry your life was so short.
The dead don't talk.
I don't know why.
Here we are again.
Busted furniture and
shattered glass everywhere.
Most of it was not my fault.
Except the panda bear lamp
and the Biffy the Clown mirror.
- That was this guy.
- Why didn't you come to me first..
give me a chance to find a way
to get Harlo to entrap himself?
Whenever we do it that way,
it's always more efficient
and less destructive.
Yes, I know but he had
or he was gonna do it again soon.
That's what Penny wanted to tell me.
That's why she hadn't left yet.
Son, you so complicate my life.
Look.
Besides her blood...
Harlo had these photos of Penny
post-mortem in his wallet.
If there's any fuss about
how you pegged Harlo...
just say he opened up
his wallet to pay off a bet.
