- Help!

Nick, where are you?

I need you here now.

Officer down.

Send medical and fire.

Let's go! Come on!

- What was that?

- Earthquake. Come on!

Hurry up! Let's go!

- I couldn't save him.

- You were out.

You tried.

We left Carlos

in the car to die, man.

- He was gonna die anyway.

- You said the guards were unarmed.

Look, don't go blaming me!

I didn't do this alone!

Because you said

no one would get hurt!

If we didn't have to stop

and see your girlfriend,

- we wouldn't be in this sh*t!

- What did you do?

- We've gotta disappear.

- Our car.

I'll find another one!

What did you do this time?

I just hope the epicenter's near us,

because if there are

any casualties in the city,

it'll be a long time

before we get any help.

- Where are the fugitives?

- They ran behind the diner.

- With the waitress?

- Yeah.

We have a hostage situation.

Hello? Is anybody there?

Do you read?

I think we should make sure

everyone else is okay.

I'm gonna go find a landline.

No no no, just sit tight. Sit tight.

We don't want

to get ourselves killed here.

Backup will be here

at any moment.

- I should just walk away.

- Fine, leave!

It's what you do when things

get tough, you leave. Go!

- Adios.

- See you around.

I don't think so.

We've got a cop car

or a grey four-door.

The grey four-door is hers.

Well, what are

we waiting for? Keys.

Tell him where

the keys are, Maya.

My purse, in my locker, inside.

You go with her.

I'll make sure we're not followed.

They should have

been here by now.

Look, there's a hostage

in there, okay?

And there's other injured parties

in there possibly.

It doesn't help

anybody if we hide.

Yeah, well, it doesn't help anyone

if we don't have a plan.

Look, let's all move together

to the back door

and we'll make

a call on the landline.

Nobody.

Phone's static.

Should we go check the motel?

Yeah, let's go.

Where did all the people go?

Where's Ravi?

Out of here,

where we're going.

Hey, you smell that?

What?

It's rotting flesh.

You don't smell it?

I have anosmia...

no sense of smell.

- There's such a thing?

- Blind people, deaf people...

- they get all the attention.

- Well, I guess if I had a sense to lose...

People and animals

with no sense of smell are twice as likely

to die prematurely.

Bad smells are nature's warning.

Nature's sure as hell warning us.

Are you okay?

Base, there's been

an explosion. Code 13.

It doesn't look good.

I don't see any survivors.

You don't see us

because we're back here.

Hello?

Nick?

Hello?

Nick?

Base?

Anybody.

We're still here.

We're okay.

There should be a body in here.

There's...

there's no way

he walked out in one piece.

The physics

of an explosion like this,

it's beyond

our comprehension.

- Maybe it...

- Made him disappear?

Yeah, well, I'm gonna

go try the base radio in the car.

- What now?

- We get the f*** out of here.

You're not gonna get away with this.

There's no sunset.

Give me the f***ing keys!

If I don't?

You will.

Maya.

What are you gonna do, kill me?

No.

No, I'm not gonna kill you,

but Binky will.

You wouldn't let that happen.

Well, I guess we're gonna find out,

aren't we? Huh?

Someone wrote out their will

in the guest comment book.

People who stay here

are obsessed with death.

The few who actually

know how to write.

Doctor Al.

Allison.

I'm Harris.

Hal's son.

Your wife left you

for your captain.

You roughed him up,

got kicked off the force.

- Word spreads quick around here.

- Don't worry.

Most people who live here are

running from one thing or another.

And you?

I own a horse ranch

between here

and the Halfway Travel Oasis.

I work at the hospital in the city.

Whoa.

That's still wet.

The other workers...

what do they drive?

The cook lives here

with his wife.

She's in town with their car.

That's everyone.

Maybe we can carjack, huh?

There hasn't been another car

since we got here.

We're in the middle of nowhere!

- What do you want me to do?

- I should put a bullet in you!

Binky, listen to me.

Put the gun down, please.

Put the gun down.

I will find the keys.

I'll find the keys, okay?

I'll find them.

All right?

I'll find them.

That's the spirit.

The septic tank traps the solids,

lets the water seep

through a bed of gravel.

There's usually

a clean out on top.

Yes, the one job you kept

for over a week...

Randy Rooter.

So respectable.

And a waitress is what, huh?

A start. I have plans.

You've got plans.

What's this?

It's the clean out.

- This?

- I don't know,

but it's next to the tank.

We're going down.

Oh, it's a bomb shelter.

The tank's on the other side.

Someone's been injured.

Possibly the hostage.

Whoever else was here left.

The tires of my motorcycle

were slashed.

Yeah, well,

they don't want to be followed.

So you're the little sh*t

that robbed the casino.

F*** you!

Oh!

All right.

I ain't doing it.

Ah!

He's gone. We lost him.

What the f*** are you doing?

Help!

It's that.

It's the purple

rabbit-foot keychain.

Be careful.

Alex?

A**hole.

Not funny.

Boo!

You were worried.

No no, I heard you.

There's still something there.

You still care.

Yesterday I hit a skunk with my car.

Killed it. I cried.

It doesn't mean

I wanna be with a skunk.

You were still worried.

We keep our eyes on him

until help comes.

If we have an opportunity

to rescue the hostage,

don't you think we should?

What the f...

What? What do you see?

We're screwed, Maya.

We're never gonna

find those keys.

- You're screwed.

- They could be anywhere.

They could,

but they're not.

What are you talking about?

Psych.

Payback's a b*tch.

You didn't.

Look, if this means we're even, l...

We are far from even.

I just swam through

sh*t for you, Maya.

See, that's where

you're wrong.

You swam through

sh*t for you,

so you could leave

with your boyfriend.

You have never once

done anything just for me.

I didn't come back

here for your help.

It wasn't supposed to happen,

all right, Maya?

I came back here for you. I did.

I came back here for you.

Look, Maya, please just come with me.

Okay, I have money now.

We can make a fresh start.

What can I do

to change your mind?

Just go.

He couldn't have gone far.

He couldn't have gone far.

Drop the radio.

- Kick it towards me.

- You're not gonna get away with this.

- I already am.

- Freeze!

Drop the weapon.

- You drop the weapon!

- I said drop the weapon!

I said drop

the weapon!

Guys!

Oh sh*t.

What did you do to him?

- I was standing right here!

- What about your partner?

He was with me.

He was running away.

He was scared of something.

I didn't touch him!

Hey! Don't move! Don't move!

Hey, he let the hostages go.

It's not worth it.

Are you all right?

Yeah, same story,

different day.

We need help... now.

I'm walking up to Hertel Ranch.

- It's two miles up the road.

- No, I'll go.

Hey hey hey, no one is

going anywhere.

We are the help!

We have listened
