-Oh, God.

Even if you get rid of all this,

his probably kind of store them

in computer somewhere.

Look at this.

It's probably how much

must to paying him.

It's kind of scary, I think.

-I think, I can kill him now.

Look, look.

If he tail's on you,

you tail on him.

This book and this photos,

you kind a big time,

you can put him

away for years.

What'll happened with all others

women? What'll happens

when all this comes out?

Can you just focus on you

I'm not staying here with him by

myself. -I'm not gonna call with him.

He's your problem. I have

enough at my own, thank you.

How do I know

How do I know you will not

call the cops, as soon as

I walk out the door?

-What if he gets loose?

So, let's go. -You can't

just leave him here.

Why is the worse of the dead

body in the trunk then alive one?

It doesn't really

Well, you know, if he did, it gonna

take a while to find us here.

What if they looking for him,

I mean, if we will put over,

how we'll explain that?

How even prove who you are? You don't

even have a driving license. Do you?

We can't get caught

in a car. It ties us to Martin,

whether they find him

or not. -Well,

see, I can't dig a hole big

enough for both of them.

So, what we gonna do?

I don't know.

We can't go back up on the

highway. We can get spotted.

If they looking for him.

-Well, they looking for you.

I can't walk to Mexico.

Sh*t.

What if we just leave

him in the car up here?

What if someone

drives out here, a?

They'll see a car park

and they gonna stop.

And if they stop... -Yeah.

This is like a real hot spot.

Got to be a lot of cars

ride in past years.

That's been here forever.

Makes sure you get

the door handle.

I was the one

in prison, OK?

You just on the half way.

Make sure you get a window.

Can survive then sleeping,

if they find one of your hear.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, my God.

It's my husband.

Don't answer it.

-I have to answer it.

If I'm not answer it, he gonna

think something is wrong.

He's probably doubt already.

-Fine, answer him but

make sure you'll tell him...

-I know, I know. It's time.

Hi, honey. No, I'm

not home right now.

No, I'm just running

some ear.

I should be home in

couple of hours.

When you think

you will be home?

A hard to say,

I'm still time to lose ends here.

OK, well, you make sure you

call me before you come home

so, I can make something

special for you.

You are all the

special I need, honey.

Yeah, I'll call you when

I'm out of here.
