- Oh Will! I'm glad to see you.
- Mac, I need to exchange some words with you. It's about Scott.
- What has he done now?
- He's dead Mac.
- He got killed this morning.
- Did you see who did it?
- No, he called me from the garage and told me to get down and help him...
...when I got down and found him he was already dead. The killer was gone.
- But why was he down at your garage then?
- I don't have a clue Mac.
- I asked him on the phone, but he refused to answer.
- I tried to help him Mac, but I couldnt!
- I couldn't help him.
- You know what Will. I think you should go home and get some sleep because you look like hell...
...and when you wake up, you should serve yourself a good drink...
...and then I'll come over to your apartment and we can sort this out further.
- Thanks Mac. I really appreciate it. You're a great comfort. I'll go home and sleep now.
- Is that a new painting?
- No Will! It's been there ever since I started this bar.
- Nothing ever did change around here during my five years in Nam' did it Mac?
- No, apart from me getting five years older.
- It's funny that I had to experience a war to realize how good my life was before I went there...
...I didn't think of all the everyday things that made my life liveable...
...and when I've returned home. I've forgotten all of those things...
...I can't even remember what the interior of my old local pub looks like!
- Don't think about that now Will. Go home and get some rest.
- See you later Mac.
- Hi William.
- William?
- Scott?
- Did you sleep well?
- Well, the little sleep I got was good.
- I see you have revived your past.
- I was just browsing through some old pictures.
- That's a good picture of John.
- Yeah.
- He was a good man your father.
- Yeah he was.
- John and Lily used to visit the bar quite often back in the days William...
...they even brought you there one once. That was the first time I ever saw you.
- Yeah, I remember that night. You used to have and old jukebox there at that time.
- I still have it! I keep in the back of the bar along with some other relics.
- So Mac, what do you think Scott was involved in? I mean he was killed for a reason that's for sure.
- I don't know Will. He was a nice guy and all but he was easily talked in to stuff.
- What do you mean?
- He used to do drugs and he even did at my bar once.
- I told him to quit them drugs, otherwise he wasn't welcome at my bar anymore...
...I reckon he had stopped, he told me he was only dealing now.
- I don't believe it Mac!
- No Will! You don't want to believe it! Everyone ain't the prince or the princess...
...they seem to be, everyone has their dark sides, you can't change that!
- I know I can't change that! But I can still make sure that Scott's death was not in vein!
- Maybe he stood in debt to another dealer!
- I don't know about that. But it doesn't sound to unlikely.
- If so. I shall personally revenge Scott and kill his murderer.
- I don't think that violence is the right solution Will...
...killing Scott's murderer doesn't bring him back.
- I know that Scott is gone forever and whatever I do won't bring him back.
- Then why do it?
- Mac, some of the things I saw back in Nam' Some of the things I experienced...
...I was stepped on, punched in the face. Some of my friends got excecuted right beside me...
- What are you getting at William?
- When I returned from the war. My confidence was way below zero...
...my head was crammed with horrible memories from the war...
...some of the memories will never go away...
...I have nightmares, I have flashbacks everything!...
...I could take the physical pain, the kicking and the punching...
...it was the psychological pain that tore me apart....
...I had a Colonel in Nam' and he always used to say...
...the one of you who endure the most, will survive the longest...
...I endured the most and survived the longest but somewhere along the way..
...I lost my dignity! Now I wanna regain that my certain amount of dignity.
- Well it's your choice Will. I can't stop you...
...be careful though, look what happened to Scott.
- Yeah.
- I found this down at the garage.
- Unfortunately not. I will go there at that time and see what it leads to.
- Be careful though, this man means business. He has shown it once.
- Hello?
- Mac!
- Is that you Will? How are you?
- Fine, as fine as you can be when you've lost a friend.
- Yeah, well why are you calling?
- The guy didn't show up in the park. He just ordered me there to test my faithfulness.
- Bad news then?
- Not exactly. When I was out, he left a new not at my apartment...
...giving me instructions on how to get Scott's body back.
- And you're going to follow them?
- It's my only chance Mac!
- Well, this is just an advice, but I don't think you should bring any weapons...
...just come as you are.
- Well going there without a weapon is suicide! You don't know much about war, do you Mac?
- No, but I know common sense.
- Well hear this Mac! Common sense doesn't mean a thing when you're dealing with a psycho like this guy.
- Well, let's just hope you know what you're doing Will.
- I'm coming for you Scott.
- Where is Scott?
- In heaven, or was it hell I can't remember.
- I want his body.
- It's in the trunk of that car.
- What was he really in to?
- Well, I'm a drug dealer, you can figure the rest out for yourself.
- Why did you kill him?
- I didn't come here to be interrogated!
- I just want you to answer this question. Then I'll do whatever you say.
- He stood in debt to me and he had to learn that I don't tolerate such behaviour...
...I want my money on deadline. Not before, not after, on the exact date agreed.
...when I heard he was calling for help, I had to disarm him, permanently.
- Ask your man to take his machine-gun away as I walk to the car.
- I'll do that if you put your hands up.
- Agreed.
- Kill him.
- Drop the gun...On your knees.
- Why are you doing this? Scott is still dead!
- I want to give him a proper funeral.
- But why! Scott was no angel, he was a *** who couldn't keep his promises.
- You're right, he doesn't deserve a funeral. I don't know why I'm fighting so much to give him one.
- So, what made you change your mind?
- He finally got his funeral.
- I was just wondering, if you don't have anything else planned for the coming period of time...
...you know, I'm not a youngster anymore. I can't work as often as I used to...
...what would you say about working at the bar Will?
