What did you and your father talk about?

- Nothing.

- After you talked about nothing, he left...

...without a word and he just called

to say he was spending the night...

...at our hunting cabin

and not to worry.

We have a hunting cabin?

No, we do not have a hunting cabin.

Max.

Max.

Hey. Hey.

How'd you get home, buddy?

I'll be damned.

Come on, boy, let's go.

Honey, I feel like

I should go in with you.

If you come, they won't

tell me anything. I'll be right back.

Yo, I told you she was hairy, B.

- What are you doing here waking my family up?

- Chuy, keep it down...

...or I'm gonna come out there

and shut you up.

Come on, let's talk outside.

Okay, what's up?

Hey, guys, what's going on?

So my dad's MIA right now.

He left a really weird message

and disappeared.

- You call the cops?

- My mom did.

They won't do jack until he's gone

a lot longer than two hours.

- I told her you knew something about it.

- So you lied on us.

No, it's on me, Carmen, okay?

I just came because I need a bike

and a five minute head start.

All right. So then let's do this.

Carmen, this doesn't involve you, okay?

Are you gonna waste time on an argument you'll

lose or are you gonna get on that bike?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold there. You can't have my bike, B.

Because I'm gonna be riding it.

Yo, Third Wheel,

you expecting Justin to walk?

This is my big brother's

prize ride, man.

You mess this sucker up, I'm toast.

Thanks, man.

All right, let's take the back way.

Just try and keep up.

All right. We ditch his ride here.

- From here on out, we go off-road.

- What about him?

I had it handled, Emilio.

Now he's a hostage

until we make the exchange.

Once we do, you're gonna

take him over the border...

...and see that he's

never heard from again.

- Do you got it?

- Got it.

No, I don't think so.

You ride in the doghouse.

- What's in there?

- I don't know.

Did you find something, boy?

Hey, I found this on the floor.

What is that?

It's my dad's holster. Max.

Go search.

Man, that dog is fast, yo.

Then pedal faster, Third Wheel.

My God.

What's going on here?

- Ms. Wincott?

- Yes.

Your dog escaped from the pound.

Any chance he came back here?

My dog?

I reported my husband missing...

...and I was told he's not

officially missing for 48 hours.

We are aware of that call.

But my dog's gone and you're gonna

tear up the town trying to find him?

That's the law.

I must have been crazy

to let you take Max from our house.

Max is with my son and his friends,

God knows where.

Why don't you go try to find them

and bring them home safely?

Max is part of our family now...

...and if you so much as harm

one hair on his head...

...I will see to it that you

and your entire department regret it.

That's my law.

Man.

Hey, Dad?

Hey, Dad?

You having second thoughts?

My second thoughts

are having second thoughts.

What about the kid?

Sooner or later, he's gonna

put two and two together.

How far we planning on taking this?

When a Marine hits the beach,

he never stops and he never looks back.

You're not a Marine.

Man, he's not gonna do

what I think he's gonna do.

Why you looking at me?

I'm with the dog.

Whoa. This water's cold, B.

Hope you guys know how to swim

if it gets deep.

I can swim.

When'd you ever swim?

It's just something you know, man.

Careful, yo, it's getting deep here.

If Max can do it, then we can...

Justin.

- Your brother's bike.

- Don't worry about it, I got it.

I got it.

I'm okay, Max, I'm okay.

Thank you.

Yeah. Just don't expect me to lick

your face and we're good.

Looks like you found the sweet spot.

We are not going back for Chuy's bike.

This was a bad idea.

You think?

Let's go see

what's at the top of that rise.

Emilio. Hey.

What's going on?

Yeah, hold on a second. Yeah, what's up?

Hey, hey, hey. Shh, shh, shh. Be quiet.

That sounds good. Sounds good.

We're good to go.

Hey. My dad's in the truck

with a couple of bad guys.

There's a highway over there

and Emilio's down there too.

We need to get to that highway,

get someone to call a cop or something.

How about a bunch of Navy SEALs?

I'm not gonna leave here

without my dad, okay?

I'm gonna stay here with Chuy,

you go get help, okay?

I am not seeing this.

Yo, we're cool,

but we don't talk about this. Never.

What?

Hello? Yeah, Mom, what?

Looks like Emilio's compadres

came out early to set an ambush.

This guy.

My compadres are coming from Mexico,

which is in that direction.

And they ain't planning

on jacking no one.

Only one way to find out.

Draco! Get them!

Whoa, whoa, man, what's that?

You gotta be kidding me.

Come on, let's finish this. On me.

I ain't leaving this guy

to watch the merch.

Fine, you stay here. I'll go.

Come on, Stack, it's just a kid

and his dog out there. Let's go.

Justin. Justin!

Ready for Round 2?

Fight smart, Max!

He's got something. Come on.

Hey, did you hear that? That's Max.

Come on, hurry up.

The dogs, through the trees, look.

There they are. Come on, come on, come on.

Yo.

I'm gonna go get a clear shot.

Tyler!

Emilio! He's coming your way!

Chuy!

What are you doing here?

Who are you here with?

Who are you here with?

No one, primo.

Got lost here by myself, B.

Don't lie to me.

I'm gonna ask you one more time.

- Who are you here with?

- Whoa.

Aah!

Aah!

Justin! Justin!

- Emilio!

- Get down.

- Emilio!

- I broke my leg!

Max.

Max.

Max!

Aah!

Max.

Justin.

- Son.

- You okay?

Thank God.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

- Did you bring anybody with you?

- Besides Max, Carmen and Chuy.

- Are they okay?

- Yeah, yeah, they're fine.

Tyler's right behind me.

He's coming up fast. We need to go.

- We gotta get to the highway.

- Let's take this truck.

No, Tyler took the keys.

But we can slow him down.

Let's go.

- Where's Ray?

- Get in the truck.

What happened?

Give me the keys

and get in the truck!

Justin. Wait.

Justin, I'm just slowing

you and Max down.

So much for taking that truck out.

You and Max just go

on to the highway...

...and I'll keep these guys

off you as long as I can.

Every time I've been in trouble...

...Max has taken the fight away

to keep me safe.

Wouldn't be right if I didn't

do the same for my dad.

Justin! Justin!

Come on, come on, come on.

There he is!

Stop the truck. Stop the truck!

You go after Ray.

Come on, Max!

Hey.

Max!

Whoa!

Aah!

Whoa.

Tyler!

Tyler!

Don't you hurt my boy!

This never had to happen.

None of it!

What am I supposed

to do with you now?

What am I supposed

to do with you now?!

- Justin.

- You can't go down there, I'm sorry.

That's my friend, though.

Hey, Kyle.

I know that we didn't...

We didn't really get along too well.

We fought a lot.

But I guess a lot of brothers

do that at the start.

I'm sorry that we won't...

Won't get a chance

to really grow old together...

...become friends.

Yep.

I just wanted to thank you for Max.

And tell you...

...I love you.
