Just like me.

No.

God made a mistake

giving you to him.

You're good.

That's something

you can trust.

Something else

you can trust,

you ain't never

gonna see him again.

Come on.

so clean.

I kinda got--

got used to the fact

of you smelling bad.

I thought that was

you the whole time.

Hey!

You're freezing!

Really?

Yeah.

How about this one?

Yeah.

That's even worse.

Is this better

than the tarp?

Yeah.

Have you ever

kissed a girl, Jonas?

Blaze!

What's out there?

I don't see anything.

Blaze quiet.

I don't know

what's wrong with him.

We gotta go, Casey.

We gotta go, now.

Go. Go.

last time you hopped

in the back of somebody's car

without them knowing, it got you

into some trouble, Mr. Ford.

Give me your gun.

Don't carry one.

Slow.

Put your hands

on the wheel.

How'd you find us?

Got word of a report from

a pawnshop owner in town.

Said a young boy tried to

sell him an old pistol.

Says the boy was with a pretty

little blonde and a dog too.

That got my attention even

if the rest didn't quite add up.

Motel must've been

mighty hard to resist

after a

storm like that.

Havin' fun

spendin' our money?

It ain't your money.

Drive.

you're gonna get

that poor girl killed,

you know that,

don't you?

I'm saving her.

You're chin deep

in sh*t here, son.

The longer you play this

out, the worse off you'll be.

So let's just

put the gun down,

go get Casey and the money

and be done with all this.

The money's gone.

We got mugged by

a bum in crow lake.

You expect me to

believe that?

Believe what you want,

just keep driving.

What's in

your head boy?

How can you possibly think

you're gonna get away from this?

We just will.

We deserve to.

I hate to break the news to you

mr.Ford, but who deserves what

don't mean diddily

in the real world.

One thing's

for sure,

you two sure left a nice trail

of bread crumbs behind ya.

Slow down.

Couple runaways with travel

packs and a dopey ol' dog,

that's an image that tends

to linger in people's minds.

I said slow down!

You stole a lot

of money Mr. Ford.

When you steal from a man,

he doesn't stop looking for you.

He doesn't just, one day,

decide to let it go.

Slow down!

God forgives

so we don't have to.

Look what you're

making an old man do.

You should be

ashamed of yourself.

Give me your

wallet and phone.

Son, you should

get that checked.

You got

sh*t in your ears?!

your hat too.

you think

I'm a bad man, Jonas?

I'm the tooth fairy

compared to what's comin'.

I ain't

scared of him.

Casey!

Jonas!

Casey!

What happened?!

What happened?

How does it look?

This is bad.

You need to

go to the hospital.

No, no hospital.

They'll be

waiting for us.

here.

Just hold it there!

Hold it there!

I need

some things.

Nothing back here I'm allowed

to sell you without a parent

and a

prescription, hun.

I need disinfectant

and stuff to numb pain.

Someone you

know hurting?

Here just--

take it.

Just give me

what I need.

Please.

He's my friend--

he's bleeding

and it's really bad.

Then you better

get them to a hospital.

We can't!

I want to help but I can't just

give you what you're asking.

I'm not asking.

don't.

Jonas, come on,

help me out.

Owh, I'm sorry!

Okay.

Hold me, hold me.

keep pressing!

okay.

Okay.

Open, open, open.

Just eat it.

You're gonna need

to keep still, okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry!

Jonas please,

you gotta stop.

You gotta

stop moving.

You're doing

really good.

I'm, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Hey cowboy.

How you feelin'?

You saved me.

What do you think?

It's no ocean.

But it's ours.

We need to

rethink a few things.

I know.

We just need to

figure out a way to

cover a lot

of ground quickly.

That'll be

tough with Blaze.

You looking

for the gun?

Yeah.

It's gone.

What?

I got rid of it

this morning.

While you

were passed out.

Casey,

why would you do that?

Because it scares me.

It scares me

more to think about

what we're s'pose

to do without it.

Okay, that gun keeps us

safe and you know it.

I don't want to be

those kind of people.

What kind of people?

The kind that sticks

a gun in someone's face

to get

what they want.

Yeah, well I don't

want to be

those kind of people

either, Casey.

But we have to be

realistic about this.

It's only a matter of time

before someone else sees us

with Blaze and

puts it together.

He's gonna

get us caught again

and when he does

we need to be ready for it.

Casey.

Where is it?

I'm not saying.

We need it, Casey.

It's just in case

someone stronger than me

tries to hurt you.

No one's stronger

than you, Jonas.

hi there.

Hi sir.

What can

I help you with?

Where'd you go?

Where's Blaze?

He's gone!

I gave him up just

like you wanted.

Hey, Casey!

He was my only

friend before you.

And I abandoned him

to keep you safe!

Keep me safe?

What are you

talking about?

This has all been

to protect you.

That's the reason

for my whole plan!

What plan?

You didn't

have a plan!

You barely

gave it a thought!

There wasn't time

for that, Casey!

I had to get you

out of that house!

Why?

Why couldn't you just

leave me right where I was?

You stole the money.

You had to leave.

Not me.

Not Blaze!

So why are you

still here then?

Huh?

Why did you

even come?

Because you

weren't leaving without me,

and he was

coming after you.

That's why I left.

To get

you out of there.

To protect you.

And I still am.

If my

daddy finds us,

he'll beat me

two inches from death, but you--

he'll go

all the way.

Let's go get Blaze.

No.

Casey,

we can make it work--

it's done!

Let's pack.

We're already behind.

Jonas:
You hate me?

Casey:
No.

I love you.

Jonas:
I love you too.

just uhh--

just wait one sec.

hello?

Hello?

Jonas?

Son?

Is that you?

Pa.

Jonas?

Thank god.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm alright.

Where are you?

Whatever we've done

to make you abandon us, i--

you didn't do nothin'.

Casey's dad

is after us.

He's dangerous, pa.

He's a

thief and a killer.

The chief too.

Well, come home.

You'll be safe here.

Casey won't be.

He'll come after us,

take her away

and there won't be

anything we can do about it.

Well then,

we'll go to the police

and tell them

what you're telling--

they are

the police, pa.

My word won't hold

up against theirs.

Son,

listen to me--

tell ma I love her and

I'll be home in a little while.

I sent something in the

post for you.

Jonas, don't you

hang up now--

there's more comin'.

Jonas!

bus driver:
Sorry folks.

Looks like we're

being pulled over.

Oh my god, Jonas.

Get the bags ready.

Son, I'm going to need

you to take your seat.

Sir.

I'll pay you, okay?

I got

a lot of money!

Listen, sir--

no, no, don't open

the door, please!

Son!

Afternoon officers!

Well, hey boy.

Sure am

glad to see you.

Step off

the bus, Mr. Ford.

Hey!

there's my angel.

Everything's

fine folks.

Police matter.

Casey.

Casey, let's go.

Well,
