Ripper tells two black men he is not going to hurt them. One claims he heard Ripper
was a white dude beatin on the brothers. He asks where Willard is. Willard's brain
is fried. "He's in crack alley an no one comes out of there. Man, he gone!"
Skuffy throws a rock at Willard's head and jumps him as Willard pulls out a gun.
Willard kicks him between the legs with his leg and as Skuffy holds himself, he picks
up the kid's tearful and crying face and kicks him between the legs again. He is
seen by two men as he takes outhis gun. Willard shows them Skuffy's drawn and slowly
draining face. "You canhave this but when he comes, you know what to do!"
Slapton is with the Chiefand three cops, "Crack alley...it's like a festering
scar on da face of ourfair city." This part is unclear as it seems Slapton now
thinks Willard is scum again, "corruptin' our women and killin' our children."
Or is Slapton talking about Ripper? He says, "Ah wish ah had that Ripper in
mah hands right now." Ripper jumps over a fence after watching that. Two thugs
jump him.Ripper uses his small hand hold knife to gut the long hair that jumps him
onto his back. The thug has his intestines ripped out and his belly button is at
the end of a long line of bloody guts and intestine swirls. Ripper cuts the neck
open of the other one and kicks his head off the body. Skuffy asks,"Aaron?"
Jahmal (different spelling) unties him. Ripper tells Skuffy how he came to be Ripper
is a long story which Skuffy's grandpa will tell him when Skuffy gets home. Ripper
sends the kid to find the Chief of Police and Slapton (Skuffy says, "That idiot.").
Willard fires over and over. Ripper baits him, calling his name. Willard sneaks up
on the sneaking Ripper and shoots the side of the Ripper's head. Ripper rips at Willard's
face butWillard fires again. Slapton hears this, "Whassat?" The Chief has
his men move in. Skuffy is with the two. Using a piece of wood, Ripper hits the arm
of Willard as Willard moves around a corner. Then he beams him in the face.Willard
grabs Ripper's hand as Ripper reaches for the fallen gun. Willard points it as Ripper's
face. It is empty. Willard gets up and zombie like moves away. Ripper runs at him.
Ripper jumps at Willard as the police are ordered to fire. Ripper nails his knife
into Willard's foot, keeping himrooted to the spot as the bullets rip at Willard
over and over. Ripper jumps off the pier. Willard is shot to death. Later, Skuffy
in his tights and wrapped in a blanket, sits on the edge of the pier, watching down
into the water. A voice says, "Time to go home, son. We called your grandfather."
A figure takes him away. The water seems to have a circular ripple in it. |
