Uncle John Page #4

Synopsis: John is a kindly, well-liked old man in a small rural town. John has just killed a man named Dutch. Dutch had done a lot of bad things to a lot of nice people. Nobody in town would think to implicate John - nobody but Danny, Dutch's violent drunk of a brother. John's nephew Ben arrives from Chicago on an impromptu trip to his hometown as his uncle struggles to evade Danny's growing suspicions and looming threats. In this masterfully acted tale of small-town intrigue, one man's need for revenge may cost many more their lives.

- Yeah!

- That's about it?

Let go, we're done.

All right, that should do it.

I think so.

Well done, sir.

Thank you very much.

- Yeah, I do what I can.

- Just save that for later.

- That's a lot of paper.

- Yeah, a lot of paper.

We'll maybe use it next time.

Statue.

Put it in the spill box.

Yeah, put it in the spill box.

Thanks. Your big environment.

- I'll let you guys clean up.

- Oh, sorry.

What's up?

I was just stopping by to let

you know I'm taking over the...

The yogurt ninja shop.

Quicker.

- Got that?

- I'm the quicker.

You are quick on your heels.

Um, and I wanted to apologize

for the barrage of e-mails

that are headed your way.

Yeah.

So, I'm gonna send you one

with the latest details, then.

- Okay.

- I hope your computer's okay.

- I'll be fine, thanks.

- Nice to meet you, Ben.

Good to meet you.

See you, Katelyn.

Come here, tiger!

Here, boy! Here, boy!

Come here!

You don't like me anymore.

- Hey, there.

- Hello, dear.

- How are you?

- Good, good.

Uh-oh, look what you got?

Oh, yeah, just got one

acting up in the basement.

Coffee?

- No, no, thanks.

- You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

I got to get going in a sec.

Everything else been

going all right, though?

Is Ben planning

on coming up real soon?

Yeah, well, you know,

I don't know.

Nothing planned.

I talked to him the other day.

It seems like everything's

going real good.

Great.

Still does that computer stuff

down there?

Yeah, he's doing

some commercials and stuff.

I seen a couple

on TV the other day.

Well, it sounds neat.

Yeah, yeah, he's doing...

Doing okay in it.

He's doing well.

Oh.

Say, how's your back?

Dale said it looked like you got

cut up pretty good on something.

Yeah? Oh, no, no.

I got a couple scratches.

I took a bit of a tumble getting

some of the bushes up there.

A tumble? What kind of tumble?

You okay?

Well, you know, it wasn't -

wasn't really a tumble.

- It was kind of...

- Geez, John.

You know we're nearly always

around over here

if you need anything.

You can pretend

you don't want these

and make a fuss if you like,

but I'm gonna make you, anyways.

Hey, Danny.

All right.

Hey, uh...

I'm sorry to hear

about your brother.

You... you heard any news?

Well, all right, bud.

Uh, listen, I'll, uh...

I'll... I'll just let you be.

Sheriff seems to think

he got drunk and just fell in.

They've been dragging that

god damn lake all afternoon.

No body yet.

Yeah.

I heard.

I doubt that, though.

No way Dutch drowns in there.

Well, let's hope not.

They're just, you know,

doing what they can.

You know, maybe, uh...

Maybe he just took off

for a bit, you know.

Dodging somebody or something?
