Winged Creatures

Stop! Why do you have your own fries?

- Howard... - Shut up, stop!

Howard? Who's Howard?

Oh Howard? She loves the Lexus loving, grunge, poser, pathetic, slave,

juvenile delinquent midge who said "I happened to splat her at paint ball last week ".

Oh my God!

- Oh, great, thanks. - I'll be right there.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Ma'am! - Jen?

Okay, I know.

OK, I know that 10 minutes ago, but there's nobody here, it's dead.

Thanks. Hey you, can you hear Mommy?

I love you. I love you.

Okay, my battery's gone, so. Can you say bye?

Bye!

I'm sorry, what can I get ya.

- Yes, the special, no mayo. And if it's got no sugar, an Ice Tea. - Okay.

On second thoughts, I'm gonna take the mayo, and ah...

An Ice Tea. Got the coupon.

Congratulations, lucky number 7. This is for when you pay.

Down, come on get down!

Jimmy!

What's this? You guys are running late.

Shooter, customer. We lost them both on the way.

We have to keep going on this one.

Another one was dead on the scene, a busboy, went straight to the locker.

- I was just there, 20 minutes ago. - Come on, scrub in.

Find your perfect place. It's easy, at Remax. com.

Nobody sells more Real Estate than Remax.

Hey Jimmy, how you doing, man?

From our lips to his ear.

In the language of our inmost longings. We humbly pray.

Hey Jimmy, I'm Ron.

It's my job to talk to people after upsetting experiences like accidents or crimes.

The doctor who examined you thinks maybe we should get to know each other.

I hear you're not saying much. Will you talk to me?

Can you shake your head yes or no?

Will you write down your answers if I ask you a few questions?

When you want to figure out how you feel about what happened will you see me.

Light superficial trauma, repercussion when you fell.

You may sleep a few days straight. Have some blurs and blanks.

One thing is sure. You were some kind of lucky.

Beyond lucky.

- Come on, let's call it - No, no, wait.

Shit nicked an artery. Looks like a bone fracture in the aorta.

Clamp... start over here.

There's nothing to clamp. There never was.

Honey!

Oh my God!

Don't cry Mum. Don't cry.

I'm so sorry.

It's different odds down here. No-one wins them all.

Went the extra mile... and a half. You did your best.

By now authorities still are officially searching for motives.

Meanwhile here in Baird Community Hospital...

The gunman has been declared dead on arrival.

One victim in critical condition is said to be airlifted.

And the hospital says it's emergency...

- Miss Davenport? - I gave it already... my statement?

I'm not police, I'm with the County mental health department.

- Are you the doctor? - No but the hospital contracts with us in these cases.

So...

I tried to call out, but the battery on my phone died.

It's not your fault. It's normal to feel that way.

No, I know that.

In the next few days and weeks you may experience a lot of new feelings.

Including loss of sleep even appetite. There's a list.

Every day life may feel different.

You might start to remember things that you really don't want to, Carla.

I'm sorry, can I call you Carla?

Wait a minute, eh...

You got these printed out before, in case something like that happens?

And then you give them out after?

That's not important. It's that if you need to talk, you can.

About how you're feeling.

To you?

Yes.

Excuse me, can we speak with you for a second?

- You were at the scene right? - Aha, that's right, I was.

- Well, were you hurt at all ma'am? - No, not myself...

- But you lost somebody in the family, someone that you know? - No, but...

Excuse me!

Police continue to deflect questions about their investigation,

while citizens struggle to reclaim the notion of a town that was.

Re-constructive time-line of the actual moments when life and death hung in the balance,

in the blink of an eye, ordinary townspeople...

- Carla, you drove here? - I took a bus from the hospital.

We saw it, thank god you're OK

You saw it? I guess I did. I tried to call Al.

We didn't know where to call, I told Scott to call the police but he said no.

best to wait for word in these situation, I can't help but think,

five minutes later and my Scott would have been there.

- Are you OK now? - I guess a feel a little bit...

Thank god. That's what I say. When I saw those girls on TV and that one who's father died.

You don't have a scratch on you, just you know, Thank God!

What's wrong with you? - He's been a little like cranky.

- I guess I'll see you at the diner tomorrow. - Tomorrow? It won't be open tomorrow.

Good idea! Whatever. Just call us any time, we'll pick him anytime.

- It's gonna be OK. - Thanks.

12.95 of change.

And you're the hundredth customer this month, a free bike helmet.

Anne, honey, what is it? What're you doing out here?

Let's just get you back inside. We've got something to help you sleep.

Okay baby, just come with me.

- Any luck reaching him on the cell phone? - Nothing.

If you don't mind I just have a few questions I want to go over?

Are you sure your father didn't know anyone else at the scene, a Mr. Hagen?

Mr. Carline?

Not absolutely sure. I don't know.

And between you, any recent problems?

My dad took us in after my divorce. No questions, so, no, no problems.

You're not aware of any bad things anywhere, business gone wrong?

- You need a hand with that? - No, thanks.

My dad owns his own driving school, one room one car.

Small business on his own after my mama died.

He owns this house's free and clear, he don't owe nobody.

So no I'm not aware of any bad things or business deals.

Not for several years anyway since he owed them that gambling marker?

Excuse me? - We heard about that.

I have no idea what your talking about.

Now, if there is nothing else, I have a babysitter waiting inside.

Miss Hammet, I know you want any word on your father's whereabouts and condition.

Thanks for saying it detective. Excuse me.

I was at the diner this morning before it all happened.

- You were not, why? - For a coffee on the way to the hospital.

What?

Then on the way out...

I held the door open for the guy who shot everybody.

How do you know it was him?

Ten minutes later they wheeled everyone in, he was there with a big fucking hole in his head.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. It's not like I was still there when it happened.

- Darling! - Crazy, right?

- Can I get you a drink? - Yeah, that'd be good.

Did the suit come back from the cleaners?

I'll bring it in.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

You know Stu, you look at everything that happened here...

And it's hard not to speculate on the toll...

had the gunmen entered the scene just ten minutes later during the hight...

Do you think he's sleeping?

He was out like a light last I looked.

The man said keep him home quiet, he'll talk when he's ready.

Sweetie?... Sweetie?

My God!

Jimmy, down!

Come on.

Big crowd.

Half of them didn't even know that Hagen guy. Or Carlin, least I worked for him once.

Well I was cleaning tables when they came in, didn't even see me I guess.

So you gonna let me take you out for that beer at Clusky's.

Thanks, no biggie. See you around, Carla.

Who was my father?

An example of the kind of faith that we need most.

When we are scared or tempted by doubts, or guilt, or hatred.

So the Lord leads us on to fly high to the gates of heaven.

To let him judge us and my father.

He gave his life for mine and Jimmy Jaspersen's.

My father who hid us and held on to my hands smiling.

He was my dad.

Wait.

Kneel with me Lori, to be as brave as our dads.

Let's pray to be strong enough to forgive.

- I want to, but... - Lori, honey.

My dad was so grateful. It's what he'd want. I know that, God knows that.

Jimmy and I are witnesses. Partners in prayer, aren't we.

Witnesses to love and bravery to be proud of.

We just want to say how sorry we are. And Bob too.

Thank God one of us can testify.

Two, bet two, right away.

New shooter.

- Okay? - No, a fucking headache, can't see anything.

- Migraine? I'll get you something, okay? - I'm not proud, I'll try anything.

Just put this on your tongue. It's sub- lingual so, it's gonna work pretty quick.

My miracle worker genius.

I haven't one for such a long time.

Feel better, is it working?

- Yeah. - It is?

- You're a magician. - You think so?

Nothing less. Ever.

- Anne? - One sec, Mum.

- Hi Ma! - Carly, that's you?

- My God! - How's the knee, ma? - Good enough.

Now if I take to my pills and leave the weeds grow in the yard, good enough.

Now are you keeping up with your classes at Virginia College?

Ma, you know what happened? - And your boyfriend, ah, Steve is it?

How's he? Any plans for you two?

- Everything is great, Ma. - Well, that's wonderful for you, Carly.

Here's your dad now, he's wandering, guess the phone woke him up.

- Take care. - Bye, bye. - Bye

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

What's wrong with him?

I'm not sure. Let's try a bottle, do you have one?

Are you hungry?

We have a hungry man here. When did you last feed him?

I tried off and on all night but he wouldn't take it he was screaming so hard.

- Anything different about the way you prepared the formula? - No.
