:28:00
What do you want me to do?
:28:02
I want you to help me
in the same way that--
:28:06
In the same way that you did before.
:28:11
He wasn't this crazy.
:28:12
That guy was just
an obsessed reader...
:28:15
...who couldn't tell real life from
the crap you make up for a living.
:28:18
No offense.
:28:20
Now, this Shooter guy,
he threaten your life?
:28:23
-He put a screwdriver through my dog.
-Well, he did break a law...
:28:26
...but it doesn't seem to be a
very important law in Tashmore Lake.
:28:30
The sheriff must be a cat person.
:28:32
Yeah, well, I don't exactly feel safe...
:28:35
...with a 70-year-old arthritic sheriff
watching my back.
:28:38
Are you gonna help me or not?
:28:40
Let's see...
:28:42
...I got a corporate loyalty thing
I got to be back for on Friday...
:28:46
...but I can give you
a couple of days.
:28:48
Okay.
:28:50
My story came out a couple years...
:28:54
...before he says he wrote his.
:28:57
I've got a copy of the original
at Amy's house.
:29:00
I was just gonna stop by
on my way upstate and pick it up.
:29:02
-Amy's house?
-Yeah.
:29:05
-Amy and I split up six months ago.
-I'm sorry.
:29:09
Yeah, me too.
:29:10
-Amicable?
-Not remotely.
:29:12
What happened? You finally nail one
of your groupies at a book signing?
:29:16
The Omaha Barnes and Noble?
:29:23
That was a dick thing to say,
you know? Rotten profession.
:29:27
I apologize.
:29:29
-You were saying?
-I was saying...
:29:33
...that if it's just proof that this guy
wants, fine. I show him the magazine.
:29:38
But I think maybe you should
be with me when I do.
:29:40
No shit,
I'm gonna be with you.
:29:42
-You remember my rate?
-Yeah. An obscene fortune, right?
:29:46
You'll see a black Cadillac in the
driveway tonight when you get home.
:29:49
Don't freak out,
it's me keeping an eye on things.
:29:51
Okay.
:29:53
Get a good night's sleep.
You don't look too hot.
