Is it a hilly road

or is it a flat road?

Flat.

Okay. All right.

Now take a look around.

You see any houses?

Anything at all that

might help me find you?

I see some windmills.

A windmill?

Well, that's great. That's great.

You know what?

I think I know

where to find you.

What's your name, son?

Harrison.

And your little partner there,

what's his name?

Travis.

You boys did

the right thing calling me.

You just sit tight,

help is on the way.

And don't you worry.

You are not in any kind of trouble. In.

Stop fidgeting,

you little sh*t.

That gun

doesn't even work!

That's right.

Look.

Shh!

He can't hear us.

What's he doing?

I don't know.

Maybe he's looking

to go to the bathroom.

I hate him.

I think he's

trying to hide.

He sucks at hiding.

Why does

he need both guns?

He's a gun hog.

Here he comes.

Where are we going?

Are we going home?

Hey!

This sucks.

Yeah, this

f***ing sucks.

Where'd he go?

He's hiding.

He's gonna shoot us!

Maybe he won't.

Okay. Now, the man that owns this

car is gonna be here real soon.

You understand?

And when he gets here, I need

you boys to do something for me.

Okay?

You can't tell him

where I'm hiding.

He can't even know

I'm here.

He's got to think

I'm still in the trunk.

Why?

Shut up!

Just do what I said,

just keep quiet.

'Cause if you don't, you

know what I'll have to do?

Shoot us?

No, I won't.

What I will do is...

You got a mom and dad?

My grandma.

You got a pet?

A guinea pig.

You?

Snake and a dog.

You live with

your mom or dad?

My mom and my stepdad.

What I'll do is

go by your house,

and first

I'll kill your dog.

I'll take a hammer,

hit him in the head

until the hammer's

covered in brains.

And then I'll take

that snake of yours,

and I'll slit him open

top to bottom.

Then, your mom, well, she'll

probably have heard that,

and she'll wonder,

"What's going on?"

And when I see her, you

know what I'll do to her?

Shoot her in the face.

And your stepdad, too.

Make both their faces

into ground beef.

And you,

I'll take that,

what you call it,

guinea pig.

And I'll throw him against

the ground as hard as I can.

But that probably

won't kill him,

and so while he's squirming around

down there, down in the dirt,

I'll stomp him

with my boot.

Crush that guinea pig

of yours.

And your grandma,

I'll slit her throat

with a big ol' knife.

And she'll scream for you,

"Come and help me. "

But no sound will come out.

And you want to know why?

'Cause you can't scream

with a slit throat.

You understand?

So, when the sheriff shows up

looking for his car,

what are we gonna do?

Be quiet.

Great.

You're eating

a Slim Jim now?

No. Look.

Next time he comes back,

you should shoot him.

Here he comes.

Shoot him.

Why didn't you shoot him?

You do it.

Should we tell?

What if this

guy kills our families?

He just wants

his car back.

I don't know.

F***! F***!

Whew.

You boys sure

gave me a fright.

Holy hell.

Whew.

What do you say we

get you home safe?

Okay, now you boys

answer me now.

Did you open up the trunk?

Was there somebody

inside the trunk?

Did you open the trunk?

Did you open the trunk?

Did you open the trunk?

Boy, you answer me now,

or I will shoot you dead,

right through this door.

Tell me right now.

Where is he?

Son.

I am the only person out here

that you can trust.

I am the only one

that can help you.

Oh, f***.

I knew it!

You little sh*t!

I knew I wasn't crazy!

You think you could

run down this highway

and I won't

know about it?

I know these roads

like the back of my hand!

What's wrong with you?

Don't think you can play

dumb with me. I saw you.

You almost

ran me off the road.

You are in

so much trouble!

Get out of the car!

Hey! I'm talking to you!

Step outside the car.

Come on.

Get out! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Ma'am.

Are you okay?

I'm gonna need you

to calm down.

I'm a police officer.

Are

you bleeding? I'm so...

Ma'am!

What?

I'm gonna need you to

stop talking, all right?

Okay. Okay.

All right?

Just nod your head.

Okay.

Just nod. Just nod it

at me. Okay. All right.

I've been injured

by a perpetrator.

He is the father of the two boys

that are inside this vehicle.

You are okay.

He has fled the scene,

and everything is okay,

but I'm gonna need your help

with something. All right?

Now, listen up.

After I was attacked,

he threw my keys

on the other side of the road,

way over there.

And what I'm gonna need you to

do is go ahead, cross the road,

and see if you can

find my keys for me

so that I can radio

for assistance.

You see, I cannot walk.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Why don't I just call

somebody to come and get you?

No. No, no.

No need to call.

Just head on over there

and see what you can find.

Go on. Go on.

You okay?

Yeah.

Go on.

Okay.

Just take a good

look around there.

It's gonna be hard

to find them out here.

There's so much

tumbleweed.

Cover

as much ground as you can.

Yeah, and just keep

your eyes peeled, okay?

Okay?

Okay!

Are you

the woman that reported

the children

driving the cruiser?

Yeah. Yeah, that was me.

Everyone said that

I seen it wrong,

but I knew I saw them.

Well, you did

a real good thing, ma'am.

It's citizens like you that make

a difference in our community.

Taking an active role.

I don't see anything.

You didn't find anything?

Nothing at all?

Keep looking.

Oh, my God.

There's a man out there!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

What time do

you think it is?

I don't know.

I gotta go

to the bathroom.

We have to go.

I think they're dead.

I was gonna try to

shoot out the window.

Dang it,

how do these work?

Let me try.

Come on.

Try like...

Try to smash

the window with it.

Let me throw it.

If this would just...

How'd you do that?

I don't know!

My ears!

Oh.

Wait!

I think something hit me.

You should've worn

the bulletproof vest.

I know.

Where's the lights?

It's by the shifter thing.

It's not working!

It's okay. It doesn't hurt much anymore.

Boys.

Boys.

I know you can hear me.

Slow down, boys.

It's all right.

I just...

I just want my car back.

Son of a b*tch.

You don't...

Steal...

A f***ing...

Cop car!

We did it! Travis!

Just take me

home quick. Quick.

Sheriff, you out there?

Sheriff, can you hear me?

Do you copy?

This is Dispatch.

Do you copy?

I think there's

no one out there.
