I'm not walking one foot--

We don't have a choice. Do what he says.

He has Charlotte. Get out of the car.

Get out of the car!

Goddamn it.

What the hell is this?

-How many feet did he say?

-One hundred.

Do you hear or see anything?

This is it.

Hi.

He's not slowing.

He's not going to stop.

-He isn't slowing!

-Run! Go!

Run! Run!

What the hell is he doing?

Let's go. Let's go!

Let's go! Come on!

Run! Run!

Go left!

Keep going!

Come on, run!

Get down!

-Let's go!

-Go, go, go!

Come on! Go!

Run!

Go! Come on! Go! Run!

Go! Run!

Turn, quick!

Venna?

Lewis.

Venna?

Fuller!

-You guys okay?

-I'm fine.

Hey, Venna.

Did you see that? I was back there...

...he tried to back up.

Venna, come out. He's leaving.

You let her out of your sight?

Goddamn it! You let her out of your sight.

-Where the hell were you?

-I was over there, man! Back there!

Lewis!

Lewis, help me, please!

Lewis!

Goddamn it! Leave her alone!

Please, we'll do whatever you want!

You don't feel like meeting me

at a motel later, do you?

We'll do whatever you want!

Meet me at the next town. Medford.

Room 17. Midnight.

Do not be one minute late.

Lewis! Gas leak! Come on!

If you could bring me

a bottle ofpink champagne...

...it's my favorite.

Venna.

Seven miles!

Come on!

Wait! He said not to call the cops!

Keep a lookout.

Don't worry, I've done this before.

We're running out of time.

Goddamn.

Thing won't start.

Hello.

Need some help?

We're fine. The damn Ford won't start.

-He wonders why I drive a Chevy.

-No sh*t.

I have some jumper cables.

I'll hook you up.

No, we're fine.

It just flooded, right?

Take it and turn it all the way off. Then on.

Should I show you?

Hesitate it for two seconds.

-There it is.

-Perfect.

You're the man. Thanks.

Where the hell are you going?

That's my truck!

Everything will be fine.

We'll get Venna...

...and then we'll find Charlotte.

Everything's going to be okay.

Don't you think?

Okay. Motel.

Motel.

-Which one?

-He didn't say! Sh*t!

Venna?

I said, hold on!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Can I help you?

-Is this your room?

-Yeah. So?

What's the problem?

Sh*t! What did we miss?

Hello, police?

I'd like to report some dead bodies.

Your name, sir?

Hello.

Come on.

It's unlocked.

We're coming in.

We're coming in.

Venna?

Hello?

Hit the switch.

Nice, isn't it? Being on the receiving end?

Where's Venna?

Who?

I'm not kidding! Where's Venna?

You see, you might not be kidding,

but I am.

That's the point. Get it?

Believe me, you made your point.

All right?

We're sorry. We told you.

Lewis, you know what I think

is a real kick?

Pretending the person I'm talking to

is right next to me.

Right next to me.

Not what you expected, is it?

It's not what I expected

when I came to Room 17, neither.

You guys sitting next door.

Listening through the wall.

That's what you did, right?

You listened through the wall.

What do you want?

I just want to enjoy this for a second.

-We have to call the cops.

-No. If we call the cops, he'll kill her.

Well, what the f***, man?

You go outside.

-Peek in his room.

-Are you crazy?

Do it! I'll keep him on the phone.

Go out there now.

Go!

Sh*t!

You still there?

Yeah, I'm here.

Why don't you come on over?

Your Candy Cane's waiting.

Listen...

...we learned our lesson.

-Oh, is that right?

-Yeah.

Yeah, that's right. So this is what we'll do.

You give us back Venna...

...and Charlotte,

and we'll walk away and not tell anybody.

We sure as hell won't tell the cops.

Watch this. It's going to be hilarious.

Don't open the door!

Don't open the door!

Lewis!

Fuller, where are you?

Fuller?

Come on. Let's get you off this.

Don't!

-What?

-Pipe!

There's a pipe in my leg, man!

We've got a body in here!

-Possible 839.

-Search every room.

Oh, jeez!

What's he doing?

Come on, come on.

Clear the door!

Twenty four, clear!

On the ground, now!

Twenty three, clear!

Let's go!

Police!

Come on!

Come on. Get on it.

Twenty one, clear!

Oh, jeez!

Twenty, clear!

Sheriff's Department! Open up!

Sheriff! Open up!

Nineteen, clear!

-Venna.

-What?

Don't let them open the door!

Go!

Sheriff's Department! Open up!

Show me your hands!

Don't move!

Lewis!

Freeze right there!

Lewis!

Wait. That's my brother in back.

Get back on the ground!

Don't shoot!

Freeze!

Freeze!

-Shoot the truck!

-Shoot it!

It won't stop!

Oh, God.

I'll be okay.

Excuse me.

-Did you figure out who the guy was?

-Just some trucker, named Jones.

He drove for some ice company

in Wyoming.

Ice company?

What?

Breaker 1-9, come on.

Breaker.

Looking for a break, westbound, l-80.

How's that storm looking?

You raining out there?

Looking forward to the storm.

Keeps everyone inside.

Washes everything clean.
