Cheyenne, Chinook, Chickasaw, Apache.

I just think it's funny that the Army

named its helicopters after tribes

they tried to wipe out.

Right.

Look, Ricki. You're on gas detail.

Want you to grab the cans,

check out the cars,

look at the generators, whatever you find.

We're gonna go check out the diner.

So, what are we looking for?

Water, food.

Be sure to get what we need.

Cash is gone.

- I said get gas!

- I already found some.

Cars had their tires slashed,

but still had gas in the back.

Whoa, whoa. I got it.

I got it. You OK?

Fine.

- What's going on?

- He broke some ribs.

Come on. Let's go.

What's that?

Wake up. Both of you, wake up.

Check your phone.Ricki, check

your phone. Tom, check your phonenow.

I just heard something.

I just heard.

Daddy?

I love you. Can you hear me?

Daddy?

Whatever happens...

The message is two days old.

I'm gonna call Paula.

Will?

We're running out of time.

Go, go. Come on!

Come on. Let's go.

Go, go, go.

Pull over.

- I can't pull over here, Ricki.

- I said pull over.

- I said pull over!

- OK, OK.

F***!

I f***ing killed them!

They robbed us, Ricki.

They were gonna kill us.

You saved us. That's the truth.

- You did a good thing.

- Yeah? For what?

So I can do this all over again?

It's another f***ing

thousand miles to Seattle.

- It's OK. It's OK.

- I'm not gonna shoot you!

I shouldn't have f***ing come.

I'd rather go back to the f***ing rez

than spend another minute here with you.

We're in the middle of f***ing nowhere.

You think that I wouldn't make it?

Who do you think's been taking care of me

since the day that I was born?

We'll survive this longer than you.

F***!

- F*** both you guys.

- Ricki, OK, let's just take a...

We're gonna take a second, all right?

And we're gonna rest here.

Ricki?

You saved us. Remember that.

I am...

Let's just give her a minute.

Ricki?

Ricki!

Tom.

Wake up.

Ricki's gone. She left.

What?

She took her stuff.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Maybe she'll be safer.

Should never have asked her

to come with us.

- Up ahead.

- Yeah.

There.

Goddamn.

Jesus.

Let's just check for gas.

- What's going on, Tom?

- I can't breathe.

- All right. Let's get some help right now.

- No time.Mylungs are collapsing.

- Gotta let the pressure out.

- OK. How, how would...

- What you want me to do?

- Put it in.

- Where?

- Put it...

- Put in it.

- OK, OK.

- OK.

- All the way in.

OK.

OK.

Sam told me that...

your father left you.

That's ugly.

And you were just a kid, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And your old man...

he's... he's all right, right?

I guess. He lives in Idaho now

with his new family. I see him...

once every couple years.

It's a shame that you never

got to meet my father.

Sam must have told you

some stories about him.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

You know,

if you think I'm bad,

then...

forget it.

He had this... had this look,

when he thought you crossed the line.

He'd just stare at you.

It wasn't in disappointment, you know?

No. It was...

'cause he was disgusted at the fact

that he brought you into the world.

He was a shitty father.

I mean, in his heart, he was a good man.

I don't know if I'm a good father.

I try.

You know I love your daughter.

Yeah.

I know.

I know you do, yeah.

If I didn't think that,

I would have killed you a long time ago.

You'll be on your own soon.

Yeah.

I need to ask your word on something.

Yeah, of course, anything.

Whatever you want.

I need you to promise

that you'll always keep her safe.

Tom...

of course I will. I promise you.

I promise you.

You know...

there's something I need to tell you.

Nah.

I know.

No, no. You don't know this, Tom.

No, you don't know.

Sam's pregnant.

I know.

What?

What do you mean you know?

How'd you know?

Paula, she called her after our dinner,

and Sam told her everything.

Said that you're having a baby boy!

- So, all this time you...

- Yeah.

All this...

You f***.

You know, I...

I got to tell you something else, too.

I got to tell you about the boat.

Seriously? You know, why don't you quit

while you're ahead on this.

You know all that sh*t you gave me,

over the last six years?

The really funny thing is you...

you think it was me that was driving

that boat when it crashed into the rock.

- Get out! It was Sam?

- Yeah. Hell, yeah.

She was drunk. I mean,

drunk as anything. I mean,

we both were and...

you know, when we came down
