I'm sorry I shot you.

I am.

But you shouldn't

have laughed like that.

At the GPS. You...

You shouldn't have done that.

That's it.

That's the one I want

right there. Right there.

Baby!

Hey, she's up. Mm.

Are you okay? You've been

out for a little while.

And you're all dinged up.

I was, uh...

I was out with my metal detector

looking for scrap, and...

- "scrap"?

- More like trash,

senor scavenger.

Yeah. I heard a scream.

I saw you way over

there on the ground.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa,

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, miss.

Settle back down.

Best thing for a concussion,

If that's what you've got

is just to lay back

for a while.

Your smack-head pal's in the trailer

next door with rod's cousin,

rinsing his eyes out.

Please tell me that's

not your boyfriend.

No. Seriously, hon,

I don't judge,

but you really shouldn't

be using that junk.

You use junk, you meet junk...

I was, um, in a van

about five or six Miles up,

and we were in a terrible...

Trouble.

Really, I was...

I was trying to reach

fort defiance.

Fort defiance?

What?

Well, you found it.

Glamorous, eh?

Regular wild-west kingdom,

with a chariot out back.

I don't need a chariot.

Just a car.

Hon, you okay?

Hon, come on.

Don't worry, miss.

We made the call.

Cops are on the way.

They should be there soon.

Yeah, they never hear about

any craziness on the Rez.

They always just jump right on

their horses and come and save us.

Especially with hustler rod.

Can you, uh...

Can you close the windows?

Please?

They're closed, hon.

It's okay, miss.

The sky's our friend,

and the sand is our friend too.

And man? I don't know

If man is our friend.

- Don't listen to him.

- Listen to me.

You're gonna be all right, hon.

Hell, we even got guns in back.

Rod'll shoot anything for you for a price.

He may not hit it.

You said you were

in a van? White?

From the facility?

Well, maybe it was

reincarnated.

Pull over! Pull over!

I got to stop them!

Hello?

Hello?

Be careful.

No, we have it here.

If you can just check on the officer.

Thank you.

Okay.

They're checking with

sergeant Desoto.

Miss, we're gonna have to move.

You understand?

Yeah, maybe I should go with.

I can't allow anybody in the van.

It's protocol.

But you've done more

than enough, believe me.

We'll follow,

just to see her

get with her mom.

Hey, rod's not gonna scavenge

the site, I promise.

Hey, hon.

You're gonna be all right.

Yeah, we're gonna... excuse me...

we're gonna have to go. Thanks.

Thank you again.

Okay, Hazel.

They just flagged

sergeant Desoto.

I told him his happy hour

would just have to wait.

Two men, you said?

Machine guns and masks?

I swear.

Yeah, when you guys didn't show up,

we were thinking it was a flat

or a flight delay

or a panic attack at worst.

Lyle sometimes likes to turn off his

cell phone so we don't bug him.

And you're sure he's dead?

I saw it.

You know he used to

call me Capitan and jefe

like he was joking.

Your mother, at least...

You were saying

she was still alive?

Well, I...

I left her alive.

It'll be okay, Hazel.

It'll be fine.

Breathe, Hazel.

You want something to eat?

I have a snack in my pocket.

I could get it for you.

Uh, I was just getting a snack.

Me and Jess,

we're not bad guys.

We don't wear black hats.

The opposite, actually.

You know?

So like I said,

I'm sorry I shot you.

I really hope that you

don't hold it against me.

Okay?

Can I ask you something?

Do you? Do you

hold it against me?

I'll tell you what.

I've been sitting here all day

in my own blood,

flies on me,

bullets in me,

sharing a van with

three dead people who were

talking to me this morning,

and I haven't for one second

thought about you shooting me.

No joke.

Not one single second.

What I have thought about...

all I've thought about...

is my daughter,

who's out there somewhere,

please God, moving okay,

breathing okay.

So...

So to address your concern

about what you've done to me,

no,

I won't hold it against you.

But what you've done

to my daughter...

what the hell are you doing?

Jesse, she's alive,

and she's got a gun.

Did you take your goddamn meds?

Jess, I did. Front seat.

No one's alive. Front seat!

Put that gun down!

Drop that gun!

No! Blanks?

Pru, you know I had to.

You put blanks in my gun?

Get out of my way! I can't believe

you'd put blanks in this gun!

What where you thinking?

Goddamn you, get back!

Jesus Christ,

I can't believe you did that!

Hey!

What's going on here? We're

assessing the situation.

No, no, no! Don't listen to him!

Get back in your vehicle.

He's lying! I'm not lying.

Hey, mister! Please!

It's Dee, right?

Yes! Yeah, I'm here to help you.

These men aren't! We're in danger!

All right, Dee.

I'm gonna come over

and take a look at you.

Me, not the officer.

He's not an officer!

- Yes, I am.

- Just shoot him!

Dee, just let me help you.

No, I can't! Help me!

Watch that gun!

No! No, he's lying!

He's lying! Haze?

Get back in the van!

No, no, no! Stop!

You, get back in the van.

All right, Dee.

Just let me help you.

What we're gonna have to do is

clean this all up. Broom it.

No!

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Rod! Baby! Baby, you okay?

Goddamn, girl,

you're a good shot.

I'm s... I'm sorry.

- Mom?

- Haze!

Ma?

You okay? Uh-huh.

It's okay.

We made it.

You made it.

You were with me the whole way.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's a start.

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah, It's a start.

Okay. It's okay.

It's okay? Are you sure?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Stay here.
