Nowhere to Run Page #2

---

Where are you from?

Quebec.

What do you do there?

What difference does it make?

It's an innocent question.

I'm a lawyer.

Where did you learn to fight like that?

Law school.

Who were those guys?

Poachers, I suspect.

Thank you for the coffee.

Good night, ma'am.

Wait.

You don't have to sleep in the woods.

Sleep in my barn for a night or two.

No, thanks.

You can hunt here all you want.

I thought you didn't allow hunting.

Maybe I changed my mind.

You're afraid those guys

will be back?

Forget it.

Wait. How much?

How much for the barn?

You don't have to pay me.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Out of the way. Out of the way.

Bree, I've told you about

running in front of the truck.

You don't go in front of the truck

like that. Look, I have told you.

Heh, heh.

It's not funny. I'll be right back.

Did not.

Hi. I thought you might

wanna wear these.

Who the hell are you?

I'm a friend of Clydie's.

Yeah. What's your name, friend?

Sam.

Got a wallet in those pants? An ID?

Sure.

Lonnie?

In here.

I'm naked.

It doesn't bother me at all.

Who is this guy?

What are you doing?

Who is he?

He's my cousin from Quebec.

He told me he was your friend.

My third cousin on my mother's side.

What's wrong with you?

Lonnie, this is ridiculous.

Put the gun down.

Sorry.

Can I talk to you a second?

Do you want some more?

Yeah. Thanks.

Can you pass the salt?

The old bike in the barn,

I would like to buy it.

How much will you pay for it?

I don't know, 200?

Three.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Are you gonna go away on it?

I'll have to fix it first.

It's too broken to be fixed.

He's got a big penis.

Bree!

He does.

He was in the pond, washing.

He's got an average penis.

How do you know?

Because I saw it.

Already?

I don't wanna hear anymore

about penises.

Are you gonna sleep in her bed?

I said that's enough.

No one's gonna sleep in my bed

except me.

Did you change your mind?

You want to help me?

No.

It's a good offer. A better offer than

you'd get if you sold to anyone else.

Well, I don't wanna sell it

to anyone else.

I don't wanna sell it.

Mrs. Anderson,

I know your financial situation.

Forgive me

if this is a trifle indelicate.

You might not be able

to make your payments.

And if you can't make your payments,

the bank will be forced to foreclose.

That's because you bought

into the bank.

The bank never used to foreclose

until you came.

Nevertheless, you must understand...

It will take a month

to get the order to foreclose.

She'd get a lawyer.

He would file a writ.

That would delay

a couple of months.

You would have to go to trial.

If you don't want to sell it,

don't sell it.

Forgive me.

You are who, exactly?

My cousin Sam.

Oh, hello. Franklin Hale.

I'm delighted to meet you.

Thank you for your time,

Mrs. Anderson.

Gentlemen, shall we?

Bye.

Astonishing, isn't it?

One little woman in the middle of

a wheat field. And what is she doing?

She's f***ing us up.

My proposed development

is one of the largest of its kind

in the West

And represents a total investment in

your community of nearly $1 billion.

Now, what we're talking about here

is natural beauty.

I must tell you,

I mean, this valley of yours,

it's one of the most extraordinarily

beautiful places I've ever seen.

I mean, it's quite remarkable.

And I do want to assure you,

under no circumstances

would my company or myself

ever dream

of desecrating such beauty.

But you have in this town a lot of land

which can be used more efficiently.

And in a way

that everyone would benefit.

I wanna guarantee everyone...

You should be ashamed of yourself,

selling your heritage

to this pitchman.

Tom, you're out of line.

Build your damn golf course

around me. I'm not selling my land.

Let him speak. He

has the right to speak.

Please, please, let him speak.

My dear sir, at first glance,

there's bound to be opposition

to a plan like this.

But your council people,

who you have elected,

they understand the wisdom

of our ideas.

They have endorsed them

rather enthusiastically.

It don't matter. I know the tactics

your people are using.

That's not gonna work.

Nobody's gonna tell me

what to do with my land.

It's okay, Tom.

They can't make us sell.

You sure?

Are you sure about that, Clydie?

Let's go. Let's get out of here.

Sam! Sam! Something's wrong.

Come on, wake up.

What?

Come on. Come on.

It's our neighbor's barn, Sam.

Mookie, wake up your mother.

Tell her to call the fire department.

Go. Go!

Tom!

Are you okay?

My husband's in there. Help him.

Stay back. Stay!

Okay.

Help him. Please help him.

Oh, please.

Come on. Come on. Hiyah! Hiyah!

Let me help.

Come on.

Pull him out.

Push or pull. Hiyah!

Get out! Come on!

Get that one.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Hiyah! Hiyah!

Go, go!

Let's go!

Hiyah! Hiyah!

Torn!

Oh, my God.

Oh, Tom.

Are you okay, honey?

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

The gas tanks. They're gonna go!

Move back. Get back.

Oh, my God.

Clydie, the tanks are gonna blow.

Get back!

Get back!

Wow.

Come on, we'll be all right.

I never saw anything like it.

Did you get burned?

No. I was lucky.

Sam, are you gonna go home now?

Are you going to stay?

For a while.

You're gonna go home sometime,

aren't you?

Sam...

I really don't remember my dad,

not like I say I do.

It's okay.

You did good, Mookie,

discovering the fire.

I wasn't scared.

I know.

Good night.

Good night.

I've been out here on my own

ever since my husband died.

I always thought I could handle

whatever came up.

I don't know why I'm telling you this.

I don't even know you.

Sam...

ls that your real name?

Yes.

Sometimes you just get tired.

I'll be okay tomorrow.

Things will be better in the morning.

Thanks.

What is this stuff for?

For the brakes.

Without it, the bike won't start.

- What about this?

- That's gasket sealant.

Hey, what kind of car

you working on?

It's not for a car. A motorcycle.

It's a moto... A what?

Motorcycle.

Motorcycle.

Yeah.

You're not from around here,

are you?

Neither are you.

That's right. Neither am I.

Hey, you're that Canadian guy,

right?

Pulled old Tom Lewis

out of his burning barn.

You're the guy, right?

You're him.

He also saved all the horses too.

He did? Wow.

That must have really been

something.

So, what kind?

What kind of what?

What are we talking about?

What kind of motorcycle

are you working on?

A Triumph.

Triumph.

They don't make them

like that anymore. Do they?

No, they don't.

No, they don't.

Let's go.

Yeah, see you.

Hey, good luck with

the motorcycle.

How long does it take to learn

how to drive one of these?

I can show you right now.

I don't wanna know. As long

as you know what you're doing.

Don't get caught.

You understand?

I thought the local law

was taken care of.

Yeah, he's been paid,

but I'm not sure he's bought.

It's not for you to worry about.

Who's worried?

Good.

That your card?

Yeah. How did you do that?
