till my mama gets better.

Aw, the hell with your mama.

I wanna get married now.

- What about that thing we gotta do?

- Oh. Well, there ain't nothin' to that.

It's so easy.

You wanna see how easy it is?

I'll show you how easy it is.

All these names?

Look at 'em.

They're all friends of ours.

High-up friends, low-down friends,

all helpin' us, lookin' out for us.

We can hit a thousand people

and it ain't nothin'.

- Hey, what are you gonna wear?

- What?

Come on, Katie, what kinda

wedding dress are you gonna wear?

Marry in blue, your guy'll be true.

- Marry in brown, you'll live in town.

- Marry in green, ashamed to be seen.

Marry in yellow, you got the right fellow.

Marry in grey, be sad someday.

Marry in white, it'll be all right.

You're so pretty.

You smell like a horse.

(GARY LAUGHS)

You're never gonna

turn against me, are you?

No.

She couldn't go along with me.

She got pregnant.

Had an abortion.

She killed my baby.

She said she'd rather kill it than...

She tried to turn the kids against me.

She ran away from me.

Writin' them and callin' them

behind my back.

I had to share my life with you.

All of it.

I couldn't go through all that again.

You gotta be with me

every step of the way.

I didn't have no choice with her.

Who killed her?

Wes.

I'm all alone in there.

Can I sleep in here?

Oh, Rachel, not again.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

(MEN LAUGH)

Michael?

(SCREAMS)

Where have you been?

I've been here two hours.

- We got held up.

- You don't get held up! This is my life!

What do we have, Cathy?

So we got some photos of Kraus

with a black X mark over his face?

What does that prove?

If we bust them for the bank robbery,

what about these people?

Somebody else'll pull the trigger.

We're almost there.

All we need is the name.

Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson,

Coleman Young,

Howard Metzenbaum, Kissinger.

Myroff. Myroff is an investigative

reporter from Louisville.

Terry Sheridan. Terry Sheridan is

a linebacker for the Miami Dolphins.

We can't possibly protect

these people for God knows how long.

What are they supposed to do?

Crawl into a room and stay there?

We need the name.

Or the time and the place.

We'll monitor their schedule.

Then it's over.

I can't stand it any more.

I wish I could do it instead of you.

I'd give anything

if I could do it for you.

You know that, don't you?

You do, don't you?

I'd better take this stuff back

before he notices it's gone.

Gary?

Hi.

You look funny.

- How was your doctor visit?

- Fine. Everything's fine.

- Where are the kids?

- Oh, they're at Mom's.

- We gotta go out, so I gotta get ready.

- Oh. Where are we goin'?

- Get me a beer, will ya?

- Yeah.

Where are we goin'?

Just over here.

Relax.

- What are we doing here?

- Waitin'.

He's here.

You stay here.

I brought somethin' for ya.

You've got point, Gar.

We're gonna win this war.

OK, Bobby.

I brought you somethin' else.

It's your hit, point.

And everything you need is inside.

Who was that?

The Lone Ranger.

The Lone Ranger rides again.

Why won't you tell me?

Who's crowdin' who now?

We go to Denver tomorrow.

- Why?

- You know why.

What's the matter with you?

Nothin'. I'm just tired.

Good night.

I love you, Katie.

- Denver. Tomorrow.

- Are you sure?

Yes. If I disappear now,

he'll stop everything.

- I have to go through with it.

- (STEP CREAKS)

All right.

You all right, Gary?

I gotta check on the fires. You want me to

start plantin' now or wait till you're back?

Uh, I don't know, Shorty. Wait, I guess.

- Come on, Katie.

- Bye, Rachel.

- Why do you always have to be leaving?

- Yeah, but I'll come back.

- I'm gonna miss you.

- I love you, Rachel.

- A whole big bunch?

- A whole big bunch.

You be a good girl, OK?

Gladys.

Why don't you put on some rock'n'roll?

You don't like rock'n'roll.

I know, but you do.

(COUNTRY MUSIC ON RADIO)

I thought we were going to Denver.

Oh... I changed my mind.

I wanna get somethin' to eat. Can we stop?

Made these myself.

Come on, I thought you were hungry.

Oh, I am.

Look, I really have to go to the bathroom.

Go to the bathroom, too?

- Well, I guess we gotta stop, don't we?

- Yeah.

- Katie. Katie, it's me.

- (TOILET FLUSHES)

- Yeah?

- Sorry, uh, that men's room don't work.

You don't mind, do you? Good. Excuse me.

Oh, stand guard there and keep

an eye out. I don't wanna get caught. OK?

Some pinhead spelled "hell" with one L.

Sickago.

Oh, we got some time.

You want another sandwich?

Relax, Katie.

You nervous, Catherine?

And your name ain't Phillips, either.

It's Weaver.

Your mom ain't sick.

You don't have any folks.

They were killed in a car crash

when you were a kid.

You're under arrest.

Put it down, Gary.

Please.

What'd you bring me

up here for if you knew?

I wanted 'em to find

a dead FBI agent shooter.

Boy, ain't that rich?

Put it down, please.

You were their whore all along.

No. In the beginning

I was falling in love with you.

You laid down with me

to get what they wanted.

I didn't think there was anything to get.

Put it down.

What for?

What the hell for?

(SIRENS)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

- You gonna shoot me?

- Don't. Please.

Oh, God! I loved you, Katie.

Put it down!

(TWO GUNSHOTS)

There's the gun up there

in the glass window!

- Call an ambulance! Bring him in!

- Oh, my God! They're escaping!

(GUNSHOT ECHOES)

(GUNSHOT ECHOES)

Did Jack Carpenter

say anything before he died?

- Will you put up another candidate?

- Will you announce your candidacy?

When a man is gunned down in the street

because of what he stands for,

you tell me where this country is going.

And the saddest part is that that's

exactly what Jack was always saying.

That we have got to return this country...

- He saw me.

- ...to the country that we grew up in.

They got a second killer.

Carpenter didn't have a chance.

Neither would you, without your gun.

And if I have to run

in Jack Carpenter's stead,

then that's what I will do.

Got here as soon as I could.

We are bustin' people

all over the country.

That printout you gave us was a gold mine.

We got money, weapons. Washington

is gonna make a statement in an hour.

We did it, Cathy.

We got 'em.

It's the best thing

that ever happened to them.

- Now they got their own martyr.

- We got 'em, Cathy. Don't you get it?

- Busting 'em all over the country.

- Gary knew who I was.

How?

- They got someone on the inside.

- They couldn't have.

They got friends all over.

- It doesn't matter. We'll get 'em.

- We'll never get 'em.

Anyway, we'll never get all of 'em.

You can't stop 'em by waiting for 'em

to commit a crime each time, Michael.

Where are you goin'?

- I had to kill him.

- Of course you had to kill him.

- I didn't have any choice, right?

- No.

Where are you goin'? You need

protection. They know who you are.

They'll put you in that computer

and they'll all know.

Stay with us. We're your family.

We protect you.

No, I never had a family, Michael.
