- What are you saying?

Well, I lied to you before because I

had to, but I'm telling you the truth now.

I was running away from him

to get a divorce

and he found me and he said

if I ever left him, he'd kill me.

- You want me to call the cops?

- Oh, no, no.

Just take me away from him

as soon as possible.

I promise,

you'll never be sorry.

Come on, let's get out of here.

- Hurry, Frank!

- I got them somewhere.

Will you hurry up.

- You two going somewhere?

- Run, Ellie, run!

Run for the police, Ellie!

Goddammit, run for the police!

What the hell is going...

Oh, my god!

Larry?

What are we going to do?

I think you killed him.

- Get in the car.

- Larry, you killed him.

Shut up and get in the car!

Give me your purse.

Give me your purse!

- This all the money you got?

- Yeah.

Yeah, from now on

I want to keep this, too.

- Come on, let's go.

- Where?

We're going to pick up

our little package

and then we're going to backtrack

the way we came,

take side roads to Vegas, and then take

a plane from there. Now, come on, let's go!

Baby, you got to listen to me.

I'm really a dummy.

I just wasn't thinking straight.

I mean, after what happened back at the

motel and those kids got killed and all.

Oh, Larry, you got to believe me.

I wanted to run and

Frank was just a way to hide.

I want to stick by you,

no matter what.

No matter what?

I told you once.

I want to be with you.

C'mon, baby, give me another chance?

I made a mistake, that's all.

Just you pray to god

you don't make another one.

Oh, man, what's happening?

It's a cop.

What are we going to do?

Maybe nothing.

You, step out of the car very slowly.

Keep those hands in sight.

- Look, officer, if i was speeding...

- Put your hands on top of the car.

Spread your legs apart.

Alright, lady, slide out this side.

Slowly.

Larry! Larry!

Larry! Larry!

Help me up, help me!

Oh, my god!

I'm gonna die.

We're both going to die and it's

not going to end until they kill us.

Why did you have to kill him?

Why did you do that?

I was afraid. I don't know.

What are we going to do, Larry?

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

We're going to make it.

If we keep our heads.

We're gonna make it.

- Can I help you?

- Oh, yeah. Just those here.

I'm in a hurry.

Digger?

Digger, you awake?

- Guess who's coming to dinner?

- What?

Take a look.

Well, hallelujah, brother.

You see, Digger.

I told you somebody

up there likes us.

I think it's OK now.

Where are we?

I just turned off Highway 40.

There's supposed to be a lake around

here somewhere. Maybe it will be cooler.

This place gives me the creeps.

Give me a hand will you.

Come on, let me see.

- Looks like the bleeding stopped.

- Yeah.

As soon as we find that lake

I'll get some bandages on you.

You'd be all right, you'll see.

Then we'll pick up that money

and we'll head for Mexico

and live happily ever after, just like

you say, baby, "Bingo, the jackpot!"

Ellie, I'm hurt bad.

Oh, for Chrissakes, Larry. I'm trying to

help you, I just don't know what to do!

l need help. Maybe we

ought to find a doctor.

Where the hell am I going to find

a doctor in the middle of nowhere?

Besides you know

what would happen.

You just got to hold on.

Hold on.

I got a bullet inside me

ripping my guts apart,

she says "Hold on."

To what?

You?

Light me a cigarette, will you.

The guy at the gas station said

there was some cabins by that lake.

We can hold up there a couple

of days and then... Larry, look!

Let's get out of here.

Get in the car.

I'll take care of myself.

Come on, come on!

Damn it!

Give it more gas.

It won't start.

- Well, pump it.

- I'm trying to!

Come on.

Get out of the car.

Hand me that box of shells.

Can you make them out?

No.

Well, maybe it's nobody?

Maybe.

I know that one.

Those are the two who hired me.

What are you doing?

Larry...

Get back here!

Look, I know what you want.

The money... it's in El Paso.

I wanted to give it back.

You see, I still got... the money.

It's all there.

I don't want it.

It belongs to you.

No!

Bus arriving in El Paso from Memphis,

Little Rock, Fort Worth and Pecos.

Now arriving.

Bus 331 westbound to Las Cruces,

Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico

will be delayed 30 minutes,

departure time now 11:15.

Hey, baby, need a ride?

Maybe, I was supposed

to meet someone, but...

Didn't show?

Afraid not.

I'm supposed to meet my sister.

She's probably out somewhere

having a ball for herself.

Come on. Get in.

You don't want to sit around

the station all night, do you?

Live a little, have some fun.

Sounds OK.

Sure got a good looking car there.

We can come back here later

and see if she was asking for you.

Nah, never mind.

Hell. Who cares about her anyway.

My name is Myra, Myra Thomas.
