:23:01
He checked. There's no John J. Macreedy.
:23:03
No listing, no record,
no information, nothing.
:23:06
Where does that leave us?
:23:08
I'll tell you where it leaves us.
I'm sick and...
:23:40
Now, Coley.
:23:43
- I think Macreedy's a nothing. A nobody.
- Is he?
:23:45
- So there's nothing to worry about.
- Isn't there?
:23:49
You got brains, you have.
:23:51
What can he find out? That Komako...
:23:56
Suppose he finds out.
:24:00
A nobody like Macreedy
can raise a pretty big stink.
:24:03
The point is,
who'd miss a nobody like Macreedy...
:24:06
if he just, say, disappeared?
:24:11
Who, Coley?
:24:15
- Why don't we wait?
- Wait for what?
:24:17
I mean, maybe he won't find anything.
Maybe he'll just go away.
:24:20
Not Macreedy. I know those maimed guys.
:24:24
Their minds get twisted.
:24:26
They put on hair shirts
and act like martyrs.
:24:30
All of them are do-gooders,
freaks, troublemakers.
:24:33
Let's wait and see. There's no danger yet.
:24:36
"No danger," he says.
:24:38
This guy is like a carrier of smallpox.
:24:42
Since he's arrived, this town has a fever.
An infection.
:24:46
And it's spreading.
:24:48
Hastings in a sick sweat,
running around, shooting off his face.
:24:52
Doc getting snotty with me
for the first time in four years.
:24:56
- And Liz, your sister, acts like a fool.
- She's only a kid.
:24:59
Kid? She must have strained
every muscle in her head...
