following the story,

and I'm starting

to freak out a little bit.

Bam! Right over

his f***ing head.

And then, guess what happens?

The f***ing cops show up.

And the next thing I know,

Trevor's grabbing me,

and we just book it into

the parking lot.

And I just remember thinking

I could run

for, like, 20 miles straight.

It's here, right here.

So I'm following Trevor,

and it's f***ing freezing.

He leads us

into Adventureland,

this amusement park.

At this point, I have no idea

what the f*** is going on.

And then Donnie leads us

into this ride,

and they look for a place

to hide their sh*t.

But it's f***in'

dark in there.

I can't see sh*t.

All of a sudden,

they get bagged,

I'm all by myself in the dark.

And literally

the next thing I remember is,

I'm f***ing running down

some random street.

And I just see a f***ing cab.

And I hail it,

and I just get in.

And this driver,

he just kept talking to me

and talking to me, and

I'm f***ing tripping balls.

And I'm telling him,

"Please, please.

"Just give me

some peace and quiet,

"or I'm going to throw up."

If you're going to throw up,

you give me my money right now

and you get out of this car.

And I told the driver,

"Don't worry.

I'm going to go in the house,

"I'll get the money

from my bag."

I just got out of jail today,

man. I don't have sh*t.

As soon as he hears the word

"jail," he f***in' freaks.

Talking about, "Oh,

I'm not getting ripped off

"by one of you punks again."

- I am not getting f***ed over!

- And he just f***ing

steps on the gas,

and that was it.

He just takes off.

I'm gonna pay you. My mother's

gonna pay you. She has money.

I'm going to the police, okay!

Man, I heard the word

"cops," and I lose it.

I gotta get

the f*** out of here.

-Pull over. F*** this.

-You are crazy!

I'm not going

back to jail, man.

I'm not going back to jail.

God damn it!

So I happen to get

one of the doors opened

before he locked them all.

This guy's crazy.

He's f***ing driving.

He's speeding down the road,

30, 40 miles an hour.

And I know we're getting

closer and closer

to the precinct.

I know where my local

precinct is. It's not far.

And I am not

going back to jail.

So I just looked down at

the pavement and just jump.

And now look

at my f***ing face!

I can't go walk around

looking like this.

Yo. Yo, you listening to me?

Yo, you f***ing hear me?

Yo.

F***ing serious? Hello?

Hello!

Tell you what I think.

I'm gonna drive us

out there right now,

gonna go through the ride,

and we split what we find.

All right?

What, to Adventurers?

Right now?

Yes.

Are you f***ing serious?

I should be in a f***ing bed

somewhere right now.

You have nowhere to go.

You have no plan.

And she's coming right now.

Did you see all the activity

outside the hospital

when we drove past?

Yeah, the police?

Yeah. So I called over there,

and there's been

a police incident.

They're not going to discharge

anyone for an hour and a half.

So what's going to happen

with your brother?

I don't know.

It's f***in' nightmare.

I'm kinda f***ed.

So I want to drop him off

back at home,

then come back

to the hospital afterwards.

So I'm gonna drop you off

back at home, right?

Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah, drive me home.

Where am I going?

Yeah, just right up here.

Just pull up

around back right here.

Right here?

Yeah, just pull up

around back.

I don't want to go

around front

because then the dogs

are going to start barking

and wake everybody up

and stuff. So...

Get out for a second.

I need to talk to her.

You know what? Tonight,

it's f***ed up as it is.

I just think...

I think something

very important is happening,

and it's deeply connected

to my purpose.

And I think that

you are somehow

connected to it as well.

I mean, do you feel me at all?

Or do I just sound

like a total f*ggot?

No, I feel you. I understand.

Okay, I'm gonna go take a sh*t

in that guy's house.

And we'll try the hospital

again in a minute.

-Just wait here for me, okay?

-All right.

We can cut

right through here.

Oh, f***. Ow!

Ow, my f***ing shoulder!

Power with your legs.

Don't use your arms.

-Oh, f***. Sh*t, man.

-Shut the f*** up!

I can't do it, man.

Tell me where it is.

I'll be right back.

I'm not telling you

where it is.

You can wait by the car.

That's my ride

as well as yours.

No, no, no way.

We find another way

around or something.

If I have to come back

over there,

I'm gonna kick

the living sh*t out of you.

You keep pushing me, bro,

and I'm gonna

forget how f***ed up

my shoulder is.

Motherf***er.

You gotta help me over, bro.

Come on.

Just boost me up.

Go.

There we go.

Go.

I'm good.

Oh!

F*** me, bro!

Oh, sh*t!

F***!

Here we go.

All right, you feel

this track right here?

- Yes.

- Follow it.

Um...

Yo, check this coffin.

Where?

Everywhere.

Behind it, under it.

There's

nothing here, man.

Try lifting the lid up.

This is

f***ing bolted down.

Look, I'm not gonna spend

all night looking through

everything single thing in

here, so think, think harder.

All right. I'm trying

to f***ing think, bro!

It was f***ing dark,

like it is now.

It's gotta be farther,

let's go father.

Come on.

F***.

Right. Got it.

This Egyptian sh*t.

I don't know.

Maybe this tombstone, man.

I think they stashed it here.

- Oh, sh*t!

- You got it?

Yes! Nah,

I found the f***ing acid.

I don't care

about the acid.

Are you f***ing stupid?

Do you know how much

this sh*t is worth?

Find the money.

Do you recognize any of this?

I told you, man.

I was f***ed up.

The cops came in quick.

- Oh, sh*t!

- Hey!

Y'all need to come out.

Stop f***ing with me

right now.

I already called the cops.

Yo!

Stop playin'.

Y'all need

to come out right now.

If I find you,

you gonna get

your assed kicked.

I'm not f***ing around.

Show your face.

Hey!

Oh, f***!

Sh*t. F***! Ow!

Hey! Calm down!

Hey!

- Ow. F***!

- Hey!

I got beat up!

I'm the victim here, man.

Oh, sh*t.

Where's your friend?

-I don't got no friend.

-I saw you on the monitor!

There's cameras here, okay?

I got beat up. I'm the victim.

Look at me, man.

Oh, come on, bro.

I'm gonna show

your friend now, huh?

I'm not trying

to give you no problems, man.

All right.

Let's wait for your boy

to come out.

Just let me go.

You will never see

my face again, I promise.

Let's wait for your boy

to come out now.

Please, man. Come on, bro.

Shut the f*** up.

There he goes.

Hey!

Hey!

Yo!

Oh, sh*t!

Come on! Come on!

Get me the f*** outta here!

Yo! Yo!

Open the door!

Yo, cut me the f***

out of these things, man.

There's got to be

scissors somewhere.

Let me see those things.

Sh*t.

Let's get the f***

out of here.

All right,

let's leave him here.

Keep looking.

Go find it.

I want to be in

and out of here.

Damn you f***ed him up.

I want to be in and out,

all right? In and out!

Yo, does any of this

black light sh*t ring a bell?
