All of 'em.

Um...

Maybe they have a-a first...

Okay.

Okay. Dressing.

Is it... Is that...

Is that okay?

I'm sorry, all right?

Really, I am. I know... I know...

I know what you're gonna say...

"spilled milk. It's over."

But I just want you to know

that I'm really, truly sorry.

Yeah, you're sorry? Yeah.

You're sorry? Yeah.

I'm sorry. Why?

You know why? Why?

'Cause I bought blanks, Pru,

and I was a second away

from putting 'em in your piece,

but I didn't because I thought,

"what If the driver tags Pru?

I'll never forgive myself."

That chick, she just started laughing.

Why was she laughing?

She was in shock.

Pruitt, she was in shock. People do

strange things when they're in shock.

They laugh. Like ha, f***ing ha.

You know that.

We got what we went for,

though, right?

We came for a girl,

not a girl

and four dead bodies.

We're not bad guys, Pru.

We don't wear black hats.

I told you, just like I

told you to stay calm, man.

Don't lose your sh*t.

Don't be a spastic!

Pru... Pruitt, I'm sorry.

You know I don't mean

to call you that.

I'm sorry.

You know everything I do... You do for me.

Like Bryan Adams.

Except... Except he

doesn't have a brother.

Doesn't have a brother.

Two males, two females.

Driver was a male; Our

girl with the curly hair.

Everything matched.

Did you get a good look

at the one in front?

No, no. The one with the hat?

I was just looking at the

hostage, like you said.

I got to call him.

I got to call him.

No loose ends, right? Ever.

Right.

Turn left...

Ohh. Um...

Well, that's fort defiance,

and It's only like...

Five or six Miles away, so...

I can go get help.

I can go get help. No.

Someone will come.

U-turn...

There are no cars

around here, mom.

I mean, why do you think

they did what they did

at this exact spot

in this time?

That's not one of

your computer maps, haze.

That's real desert out there.

Real sand, real wild animals.

Yeah, and a real reservation.

Five or six Miles away!

It would be hard enough

If it were five or six yards.

Thanks, mom.

That's real encouraging.

But I'm not helpless. No.

I-I'm doing this.

- You think we wanted to?

- We had to.

They got wild. They charged.

I shot first.

Yeah. He did fine.

He did fine.

All four others.

Look, I'm not happy about it

either, but what's done is done.

That's not why I've been

trying to get you.

I need to know about the girl.

No, not the hostage.

The other girl.

You have arrived

at your destination.

Okay, um, you have mace

in your purse, right?

Mom, what...

What's this?

It's probably Steve's.

I didn't know it was there.

And I'm the one who needs help?

Here. Take this.

It's important.

I always thought

I'd die quickly.

I don't know why.

Heart attack or a stroke.

In a Walmart.

Among the frozen foods.

Mom, I...

Please, I already told you,

I'm not listening to some stupid

goddamn deathbed speech, okay?

I'm gonna do this.

I'm gonna come back, and...

And I... I'm just gonna

have to do it tunnel-style.

Just gonna look at my feet

and-and-and eliminate

all distractions.

It'll be fine, and I

promise I'm coming back.

I can't. I can't.

One,

two...

You're gonna be fine.

You will.

It's just...

Jesse thinks

you might have a fever.

But he's... He's super careful.

He's careful, and he's caring.

Takes care of me.

He always has.

We have the same mom,

but she had him when

she was way younger.

He's, like,

part brother, part dad.

He's... He's my "Brad."

Mom, though,

she wanted me to be a girl.

That's why she hit me in the

head with a gravel rake.

Made me, um...

Hmm?

When Jesse found out, he...

He told her, "don't you

ever touch him again."

You got no one

to care about you, huh?

Is that wh...

Is that why you steal

cans of goya beans

even though

your dad's got, like,

600...

$600 million?

Huh?

Well, it is necessary. Very.

Right.

Yeah.

I'm caring too.

And honest.

And professional.

Hey! Get off her!

What the hell are you doing?

I was just...

you were just what?

You were just what?

You were just acting

unprofessional.

Again. Again!

You wrap her up

and get ready to move

out, understand? Right.

Safe house further on.

We're gonna make a couple of

stops first, get more sedative.

We're going back

to the van, Pru.

Wait. We're...

We're going back...

Yeah, we're going back to the van.

I worked it out.

We make another return

If I drive fast tonight.

I need you to

follow me, pruitt.

None of this bullshit,

you understand me?

Look at me.

She got agoraphobia,

in the front seat.

What was she doing

in the front seat?

She was afraid

of all this space.

Shouldn't have been

in the front seat.

Do this.

Now, why do we need

a stronger sedative?

Because when the hostage

starts to squirm,

so does everyone else.

Good. And the kerosene?

So that no matter what's there when we

arrive, nothing's there when we leave.

Good. Mm-hmm.

You take your pills? Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay, th...

This morning,

I just got so revved up,

'cause I was ready, and I couldn't

even think about taking my pills.

You take your goddamn pills.

No. What?

It's the same as

35 degrees longitude.

The sun is about

70 degrees above.

That makes

this one

my right road.

Definitely.

- That was something jaunty

- To get your day going.

Now how about something

a little more melancholy?

Here on "classical gas."

Can't really handle

Mozart right now.

Turn right.

End destination.

You have... you have...

u-turn.

U-turn.

U-turn.

U-turn.

U-turn.

Oh, God!

Oh, God! Oh, God!

Oh, God!

God! Oh, God!

Sh*t!

Come on, Lyle.

Give it to me.

Oh, yeah.

And it feels good?

Oh, yeah. It feels good?

Oh, Lyle,

that doesn't feel good.

Don't you think we should

take it a little slower?

Please, Lyle,

get off!

Damn it.

No cuts. No abrasions.

No infections.

No nicks. No slashes.

Okay. Okay.

No cuts. No abrasions.

No infections.

No nicks. No slashes.

I'm okay.

Pill time.

Oh, It's dirty.

Dirty, dirty, dirty.

Okay.

Right. Okay.

I wish they made these

things smaller, you know?

What are you doing? Put it down.

Put it down.

We're gonna need guns again, right?

"Need"?

Yeah. Looks to me

like you want a gun,

and you should never

want a gun, Pru.

I know.

All right. Let's make

some time, yeah?

Come on, come on,

you've got to do this.

You've got to get out of here.

How do you do it,

little birdie?

How do you manage?

How would you do this?

Last?

Okay.

Okay.

Forget about...

Forget about the destination

and only think about steps.

Find your route.

The cactus.

Okay.

All you have to do

is get to the cactus.

Get to the cactus

150 yards away.

Each step you take

is closer to the cactus.

To the cactus.

150 yards, next cactus.

All you have to do is

get to the next cactus.

"Why mom hates me."

My attitude.

"I'm not as strong as she is."

"Sometimes

I make her feel dumb."

"What I did"

"or didn't do."

Just topical anesthetic, haze.

Oh, God!
