Love Lies Bleeding Page #5

Number nine is wrong.

Are you sure?

F***.

Do you have to curse all the time?

- One of them quit.

- What?

One of the gardeners quit

yesterday afternoon.

But that doesn't mean he's the guy

that would've taken the...

It's all we got, Amber.

If it isn't this guy, we're gonna have

to keep coming back until we find him.

It's all we got.

So that's it?

That's it.

Be careful.

I will.

I'll be right back.

You don't wanna be part of this.

Come on, man, we could split it.

No, we can't.

Fifty-fifty. Both go our own way.

You're not hearing me.

Now give it to me.

He leaves her alone in that car

another minute...

...I'm gonna finish what I started.

It's gotta be something with drugs.

These kids don't seem like

the druggie type to me.

Meth. They got a lot of meth

in trailer parks.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Saw it on CSI.

- You got kids?

- Got four kids.

I'm gonna be a dad.

You're the first person

I told that to.

Here.

Get your job back at the hotel.

This boy's better than a bird dog.

Yeah.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Okay. Let's go.

We're gonna take them out now?

No, let's let them

get out a little further.

Bingo.

So we're done, then, right?

We're just gonna leave them what we

took and we're gonna keep the rest.

- Right?

- Yep, that's it, we're done.

Once we get rid of that money,

we're free.

Sh*t. It's almost 7.

We got time.

It's only 10 minutes from here.

- Sure we're doing the right thing?

- Yeah, we're doing the right thing.

We're gonna get through this,

have some money in our pockets.

We're gonna actually have a chance

to start something.

Something new.

Okay.

What?

Sh*t. What are we gonna do?

We're gonna do

what we said we were gonna do.

We're gonna drop the money off,

and we're gonna be fine.

Oh, my God.

Think he sees us?

I think he knows we're here.

All right, let's drive into town,

get some help.

He's a cop, and we're carrying money

he's gonna say we stole.

Who do you think

they're gonna believe, us or him?

All right, let's hit him with this.

- Popped the cherry.

- What are you doing?

- Calling for backup.

- Who are we backing up?

I've dealt with men like this before.

You just can't walk away from them.

You have to tell them.

And if he doesn't listen...

...I'll have to show him.

Otherwise, we're gonna spend the rest

of our lives looking over our shoulders.

There's no more

looking over our shoulders.

Not with a baby between us.

Okay? Hold on.

Damn it!

Sh*t! Damn it!

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Here.

- Thanks.

What the f***?

Here.

Come on.

Come on.

Jesus Christ, it's hot as hell.

Okay.

You think that'll do it?

That'll do it.

Okay, as soon as we hear

them come in...

...you go out around back

and get in the car.

If I'm not out in 10 minutes, you take

the money and go to someplace far.

No, I won't.

I won't go without you, Duke.

Yes, you will.

Amber, listen to me. You have to.

You stay here

in case they decide to double back.

Come on out!

- I love you.

- I love you.

Let's do this, kids.

F***.

Over here.

At last.

Do you know how many gray hairs

you've given me...

...over the last three days?

I should kill you just for that.

There's your money.

We were gonna put it

right where we said we would.

Go on, count it if you want.

It's all there.

Thank you.

Did you talk to anyone about me?

Nope.

Of course, if you did, I wouldn't know

about it until it was too late, right?

I give you my word.

Your word? Oh, that's good.

- That's good.

- I never had a problem with you.

Those bangers you took up with...

...they're the ones

who made our lives hell.

I imagine they could.

Yeah, they took things from us.

Hit my wife.

Had no respect for anything good.

You took something from me.

And there it is.

So you're just a young man

looking for closure, huh?

That's it. I just wanna go.

Okay. Come on, come on, come on.

You didn't really think

it was gonna be that easy?

I don't want any trouble.

Wouldn't that be nice if there were

no more trouble?

Take the money.

You'll never see us again.

I can pretty much

guarantee you that.

- That you, Gault?

- Yeah, here.

This one's a wild thing.

- Amber?

- Thought you might need this.

- Amber, are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Shut up.

- Hey, take it easy.

Hey, it's me you want, not her.

I took your f***ing money.

I need to be sure you haven't

talked to anybody about me.

I'm funny that way.

Who knows?

I might have to kill somebody else.

Why don't you hang her up

over there...

...and then keep an eye on him?

- Good idea.

- Got him?

- Got him.

What I've learned

in my years of experience...

...the best way

to get the truth out of a man...

...is to first torture his woman

right in front of him.

No! Duke!

Looks like it's just you and me,

princess.

I've missed you.

I know how much

you love to play rough.

Hey! Leave her alone.

Backup! Ambulance! Call now!

I'm so sick of you!

You little pain in the ass,

where the hell are you?

Where are you?

You son of a b*tch.

Come on.

- This is what you want? Come on.

- Go. Go.

Go!

Oh, yeah?

Get up.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, get over here.

Get over here.

I'll kill you. I'll kill you.

Get away from him!

Who you trying to kid, girlie?

Just drop the gun, b*tch.

Baby.

Look at me.

I love you.

Baby.

You're gonna be okay.

I'm sorry.

I chose wrong.

No. No, don't you say that.

You're gonna take care of our boy.

No, don't die.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Oh, Duke, no.

Don't.

It's late afternoon

and the shadows are growing...

...three-quarters of the way

across the green lawn.

And we have a big old house.

And it's real quiet.

And we all sit together...

...drinking the coolest, sweetest,

ice-cold glass of limeade.

Not the powdered stuff

they sell in cans.

Real limeade, squeezed fresh...

...with real sugar

and loaded with lots of ice cubes.

And your daddy always said

we'd have a little boy between us.

And I'd say

that you'd just about be...

...the most special little boy

the world's ever seen.

And you know

we have nowhere to go.

And it's sunny.

Big old puffy clouds.

And we just sit there,

and we'll talk about silly things...

...good times gone by

and good times to come.
