Rufus

Why here?

Because I can't go any further.

Promise me you'll try to fit in.

I'll try.

What if they find me?

They're all dead and buried.

Nobody remembers who you are, Rufus.

The trucker said she stepped right into him.

Did the boy say anything?

Not a word, Hugh.

He's a strange one.

You might want to stand upwind.

He don't smell so good.

Looks like you've had a pretty hard day, huh?

What's your name, son?

Rufus.

You got a last name, Rufus?

Was she your grandmother?

A stranger?

So you knew her then?

Where are you from?

Nowhere.

Where were you going?

I think we were coming here.

You think?

How old are you?

Old enough.

Look, why don't we

try this all again later when you're feeling a little better, huh?

What do you say we get you in the car and warm up, right?

Okay?

Come on.

It's okay.

Would you mind cracking your window?

Please.

He's filthy, Hugh.

It's only for one night, Jen.

Who is he?

I don't know.

Please.

Hey, kid, you've been in there almost an hour. Are you okay?

Kid?

Get your clothes off.

Clean yourself up.

Joe's downstairs in the cooler, Hugh.

Well, I'm surprised she's even in one piece.

I sent her fingerprints over to Chet.

I mean, what do you want me to do?

I'm a vet, not a coroner, Hugh.

You know, if you could keep her on ice for a few more days, I'd appreciate it, Joe.

I need some time to get the story from the boy.

You know, sort this thing out.

Did you find anything in her clothes?

Nothing. Not even lint.

But there is a small scar on her left temple

and matching one on her right.

Puncture marks of some sort.

Here, see?

Now I'll bet if you opened her skull

you'll find her frontal lobe has been severed.

Lobotomy?

It's just a hunch.

How old would you say she is? 75, 80?

Maybe a bit older.

If the health department discovers she's down here,

I lose my license.

Thanks, Joe. Don't worry.

You plan on stayin' up there all day?

You're a long way up.

It must be quite a view.

They say your grandma killed herself.

Is that so?

My mom's in Las Vegas.

There's a second mortgage on our house.

We'll lose it if she's not careful.

Is it true Hugh and Jennifer sleep in separate rooms?

Mine don't even live in the same town.

They won't even talk unless it's an argument.

You don't say much. Do you?

You haven't given me a chance.

Did you push her?

Who told you that?

No one.

I just thought you might've.

I've considered poisoning my mother once or twice.

I like your accent.

I like yours.

You want to play a game?

Stay behind that line.

Take off your clothes.

Go on!

Your turn.

Let me see the rest of you.

I haven't got all day.

What now?

That depends.

I think most boys would have crossed that line about now.

You said not to.

The game's not that much fun if you follow the rules, Rufus.

You're cold.

I can't feel your heart.

It's on the other side.

Don't worry, Rufus.

Most boys don't even have one.

You are something different.

Nice, very nice.

Check in:

excellent.

Service:

unsatisfactory.

Bathroom?

No - no, no, no.

I hope you don't mind.

I found it in the closet.

They built these near our house in Seattle.

Sixteen bombers a day.

They'd fly them so low,

I could almost touch them.

When was this?

During the war.

Which war?

World War II was over 70 years ago, Rufus.

It doesn't seem so long.

Try these on.

See if they fit.

I spent the day sifting through missing person's reports with Chet.

We called the British Embassy, Interpol.

Man, you can't believe how many young people go missing every year.

You think he's one of them?

Well, he's definitely not from around these parts. That's for damn sure.

He said he lived in Seattle.

He told you he lived in Seattle?

And a thousand other places, if you can believe what he says.

- Did he tell you his last name? - No.

But he has a heart condition.

"Situs inversus"

I looked it up. It's quite rare.

His heart and his other organs are all turned around.

And I took his temperature twice.

It's 68 degrees.

It's warmer in the house.

- Is it fatal? - No.

But it makes him different.

And I can tell he doesn't like it.

Where is he right now anyway?

With Tracy McKay.

You let him go out with Tracy McKay?

Hugh, he likes her. What was I supposed to do?

It is nice having a boy around the house again.

Hot or cold.

He's not ours, Hugh.

What are you doing here, Rufus?

No one comes to Conrad?

I've seen worse.

I find that hard to believe.

If a genie popped out of a lamp and gave you just one wish,

what would it be?

Just one?

Don't get greedy, Rufus.

Well?

I can't tell you.

It won't come true.

You can trust me.

I can keep a secret.

You really hate it here. Don't you?

Let's go.

Hey! We need to talk.

I know what you want, and it sure ain't conversation.

I sure hope you're babysitting.

He doesn't look old enough to be out after 10:00.

Look, there's a bush party in Paterson on the weekend.

Maybe I'll take you if you're nice to me.

Not interested.

Don't walk away from me!

Ow.

Stop it!

Rufus! Stop it!

Stop it, Rufus!

Are you crazy?

Sorry.

He's gonna kill you.

It's a little late for sorry.

Oh my god!

Rufus!

Wake up!

You'll live.

Clay, he's hurt!

Don't.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop it!

What the hell was that for, huh?

Ahh!

Oh my god.

Rufus!

Stop it!

Get off of him!

Ahh!

What the hell?
