Boon

You're early, take a seat.

Little formal, don't you think?

I got a date after this.

So please, with all due respect, what the fuck do you know?

See, that's the problem with you government type.

You can't enjoy your job.

Now, I'm no fed.

Ain't trying to walk in your shoes but if I was,

I assure you I'd be living it up,

you guys got to have short lifespans.

Come on man, you know I'm right.

Oh, take it easy, Uncle Sam, I'm just fucking with you.

If you want this to go through,

I encourage you to tell me exactly what you know.

Guy you're looking for is up north now.

Where?

Washington, little town near the border.

What town?

Place called Morgan.

Probably move there for all the fucking beautiful mountains.

These sons of bitches are everywhere.

How long has he been up there?

Two, baby.

Wow, I sure do love me these college girls.

You know- Listen to me,

you hillbilly scumbag son of a bitch.

I'm calling my superiors in DC in one minute,

and if you don't give me exactly what I asked for,

you can kiss this sweet deal of yours goodbye.

I'll leave this shit kicking Podunk town

and you will never see me again.

But before I do that, I'll drop a line into your old boss.

I'll tell him you and I are drinking buddies now.

Hell, I'll even tell him what bar we like to frequent.

I'll make sure you spend the rest of your miserable life

looking over your shoulder.

Am I making myself clear?

This guy man, this guy is a fucking nightmare

for everyone now.

He was his best killer.

Fucker could track anyone down.

You'd never even know he was in the same room with you

till he popped you in the back of the head.

Then one day, boom, he started offing everyone.

Shot up the boss real bad, left town.

Now, I got close sources that say since he's left the boss

has sent at least three or four guys after him.

Guys? Contract killers?

And none of them come back.

Here's your coffee, sir.

Thank you, ma'am.

How do you know he's still in Washington?

My inside man.

He said yesterday, boss heard from someone.

They're now following him.

Worst information boss has had in weeks.

So naturally my inside source said he's pretty excited.

So, how about my deal?

Son of a bitch.

Sir?

Don't talk to him.

Yes, ma'am.

My name is Catherine.

My son found you on our property.

It looks like you were shot.

I tried to clean it up as best as I could.

Are you a doctor?

You'll probably wish I was when the meds wear off.

Preacher, actually.

I know, most men have the same reaction when I tell them.

I guess it's odd, especially for a Catholic.

I noticed your rosary, it's on your hat there,

along with your Bible.

What happened?

I gotta go.

No, you need a doctor.

I'll be okay.

I live in a cabin not too far from here.

Here?

Fellow's Cabin?

Elijah, go back to your room.

I didn't know if Fellow was renting that out.

I'll have to ask him about that.

So we're neighbors.

Mind telling me how you got shot?

Did you call the sheriff?

I thought about it,

but you would have bled out by the time they got here.

Did you find anybody else?

Was someone with you?

I think I'm being fair here.

I take you in my house and I clean your wound.

I tell you my name and you say nothing.

Nick.

Well, Nick, I think it's only right

you tell me how you came to be shot.

My son plays in these woods

and we've had hunters trespassing.

It wasn't a hunter.

If you can walk, I'll take you into town.

There's a doctor-

They're a day early.

Stay there, I'll be right back.

So how's things sweetheart?

You boys are pretty early.

Thought the crew started tomorrow.

Prettiest preacher I ever seen.

Where's your boy?

He's getting ready for dinner.

Dinner? I'm starving.

There's a diner about 20 minutes from here.

You should ask for the Fish and Chips.

You seem scared, something wrong?

No, I'm fine.

You got company?

No, of course not.

Yeah, just couldn't sleep, right?

Yeah, I just like sleeping by the fire, that's all.

Someone got hurt?

My son cut his knee on some rocks.

Rocks?

Get your foot off my table!

Listen, I could stand up here all day

and talk to you good people.

God knows I love the spotlight.

But I think I'll just get right on it.

Today with the help of the Fitzgerald Community Fund,

we celebrate the groundbreaking of this fine outlet.

This will be a beautiful establishment to help the city

and keep us moving in the right direction which is up.

Thank you.

I can assure you we'll be done in two days.

Now, can you assure me you'll have what we negotiated?

Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Investment Real Estate

and the President of Fitzgerald Community Fund.

Exhausting.

Wow, the ceremony was that bad?

These people are blind.

They live in their own world.

Yeah, well, that's good for business, girl.

They're best kept in the dark.

Speaking of business,

heard the preacher has been acting funny.

Well, we should go visit her

I wasn't sure if this was the right cabin.

I thought I'd check up on you.

Oh, it's better.

And I also wanted to apologize for last night.

I'm just protective of my son, obviously.

And we've had a crazy week.

We have some work being done in our land.

I understand.

You probably need to rest, so we'll be off.

If you should ever need to go into town,

I don't mind taking you, until you're healed up.

That'll work.

So Nick, where are you from?

Lots of places.

Moved around a lot?

My father was a Colonel

and I've seen tons of army bases in my life.

When I got married and I got pregnant,

I was so happy to plant some roots.

I didn't want them growing up like me, vagabond.

Widowed or divorced?

So how long have you lived here?

A few weeks.

Weeks in that cabin?

That place is pretty-

Shitty?

Elijah, keep that kind of language out of your mouth.

Yes ma'am.

Pardon me, but he's right.

It's shitty.

But I like it, it's quiet and it's-

Hidden?

I sympathize, sometimes I wish Elijah

and I could just disappear.

Stay hidden from everyone.

St. Francis has mass today,

and that's why you're going?

They have those beautiful bells that ring every day.

I've always liked the Catholic tradition

of daily mass, actually.

One must be very devout to go every day

or have a lot to atone for.

Thanks for the ride.

See you kid.

Heavenly father, please give us strength.

We know you have a plan for all of your children,

and we know you comfort those who are waiting.

After you.

Thank you.

Good morning, young man.

You ever heard of knocking?

Yes, thank you.

Is your mother in?

Mr. Fitzgerald?

Morning.

We need to talk, Catherine.
