any lights or anything.

You want us

to drop you here?

Jesus, what a creep!

Everything's okay, Penny.

Everything's okay.

We're gonna be okay.

Come on, honey, breathe.

Good, breathe.

Oh, God. I think I'm going

to be sick.

Penny, come on.

Get back in the car.

Penny, come on.

- Oh, God.

- Penny, get in!

All right, hey--

this is no time to panic.

We have to get

back to a highway

before that tire

goes completely flat.

Okay okay. Shh.

Okay okay okay.

Listen to me. Penny, Penny,

Penny, look at me.

Look at me. All right,

I want you to count-- one--

Breathe in.

Breathe in.

Breathe out, that's right.

That's good, let it go.

I wanna go home.

I know, honey, so do I, but first

we have to get back in the car.

- No no.

- Penny! Penny, Penny.

I want you to visualize that beach,

the place you love.

Come on.

The sun is warming your skin.

It's making you feel good.

- I'm so cold.

- No, it's not cold.

It's hot now. It's hot,

the way you like it on the beach

in the middle of July.

Listen--

the sun, the sand,

the water.

Now, Penny, I want you to turn around

and look at the car.

- It can't hurt you. It's just a car.

- No!

Penny, you have to do

what I'm telling you!

We've got to get

back in the car!

Okay, I'm leaving!

No.

Come on, come on,

come on!

- I hurt my ankle.

- All right.

We'll get some ice on it

as soon as we get to the inn.

Penny, Penny, can you clean off

the back window?

I can't see a thing.

Just do it!

I need to know if he's following us.

Oh, hell.

Cell phone.

Where's my cell phone?

Damn it.

- No, don't leave me here!

- I just have to check the tire.

The tire's

completely destroyed.

Damn it.

- The spare's no good.

- What are we going to do?

Keep trying

to use the cell phone.

Come on, grab the coats.

Oh, and turn off

the headlights.

Ow.

Oh, come on.

Let me see, let me see.

Oh.

Wait, it's not good.

If you put more pressure on it,

it'll just get worse.

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine, I can walk.

No, listen to me.

I won't leave you.

I just need to try and get a signal.

I won't go far.

If it doesn't work,

I'll come right back,

- and we'll think of something else.

- No no no.

- Damn it!

- Penny, come on.

Get back in the car.

Just sit in here, lock the doors.

- You'll be warm and safe inside.

- Please don't--

- don't-- please don't go.

- Penny, I have to.

There's no other choice.

I won't be long. You'll see.

What if he's still out there?

We're a mile away from him now.

He's a coward playing games.

If he really wanted to hurt us, he would

have done it when he was in the car.

- Orianna, please stay.

- Just stay in the car.

Keep the doors locked

and the windows rolled up.

Come on.

Here, take this.

- What am I supposed to do with it?

- Just take it.

It's pepper spray.

- Don't go!

- Two minutes, that's all.

I'll be back in two minutes.

emergency, please.

Yes, hello? I--

Sh*t sh*t!

Penny?

Ostrich...

Crocodile...

Orianna?

Orianna?

Sh*t.

Orianna?

Orianna?

Was that you?

Orianna?

Orianna!

Orianna?

Why didn't you

take me with you?

Weatherman's telling us

we may see thunder and lightning

as the storm moves in, sending

temperatures plummeting well below zero.

And now, back to more music

on Mountain-95.

Son of a b*tch.

What's the matter?

Somebody killed Becky Simpson

over at the diner this morning.

- No sh*t.

- Yeah.

Run a meat skewer

clean through her neck.

Damn. Poor Becky.

They got any idea

who did it?

Somebody that didn't like

her meatloaf would be my guess.

That's not funny, Eddie.

No, I guess not.

Found a guy in the trunk of a car

parked out front too.

Some businessman

from down in the flats--

made hamburger

out of his face with a tire tool

and stuffed him

in the trunk of his own car.

What the hell

is this world coming to?

Coming to an end

would be my guess.

All you gotta do is read

the paper to know that.

Sin, misery

everywhere you look.

That's a little drastic,

don't you think?

With everybody

killing each other,

robbing, lying...

f***ing somebody

else's wife.

You got something

to say to me, Eddie,

let's hear it.

# You just come

back now, steady-- #

We got work to do.

Come on, we gotta secure this camp

before that storm sets in.

No, come on, Eddie.

You wanna say something to me?

Get it out.

You say you cut through

them woods every day

on that old logging road

out there,

- 'cause it's a shortcut, right?

- Yeah, that's right.

It shaves about 20 minutes

off my walk to work.

All right.

All right, that makes sense.

What doesn't make sense

is why you're spending

all your break time

out in them woods.

It wouldn't have anything to do

with Mary Saunders, now would it?

Like you said,

we got work to do.

Look, all I'm saying

is a small town like this,

you can't get away

with anything.

You'd better think twice before you

go diddling some other man's wife.

Thanks, Eddie.

I'll keep that in mind--

if I ever think about diddling

some other man's wife.

Orianna?

Where are we?

Penny?

Penny, is that you?

I told you

to stay in the car.

Come on, this isn't funny.

Get that light out of my eyes.

Penny!

Penny?

Oh, God!

Oh God!

No!

Oh, God!

Somebody help me!

Somebody please!

Somebody help me!

Somebody!

Somebody!

Please...

Please.

No-- somebody.

Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

Somebody!

Oh, God!

Help me!

Somebody help me!

Somebody, please!

It's just a dream.

It's just a dream.

It's just a bad

bad bad dream.

It's...

it's a dream, a dream.

Why didn't I listen to you,

right, Orianna?

"Stay in the car."

That's what you said, right?

Someone's gonna come

help me, right, Orianna?

Right?

Someone has to come.

They have to come.

You should have stayed

in the car, but you didn't.

Ben, thank God!

Penny? I can

barely hear you.

- Ben!

- We have a bad connection.

- Listen to me!

- I'll call you back later.

Ben, no!

Wait wait wait!

Oh, no!

No!

What do you

want from me?

No!

No!

Jesus, Alvin! You scared

the sh*t out of me.

Unlock the door.

It's cold out here.

# Lordy Lordy Lord,

I could make her mine #

# Lovin' lovin' lovin'

just to sleep again #

# It won't stop there,

I'm gonna love you #

# Don't stop it #

# Don't turn it down #

# Lordy, Lordy, Lord-- #

# Lordy, Lordy, Lord,

play it all night-- #

Over here!

Over here, help me!

Over here!

Over here, somebody. Hello!

# Just move those thighs-- #

Over here!

Hey hey!

Somebody!

Hey, over here!

I gotta get going.

I thought you had

an hour break.

No, gotta call the wife.

She's been acting

a little funny lately.

I'm starting to think

she's onto us.

On top of that--

Eddie knows.

Eddie?

How?

He's not stupid,

you know?

He just acts that way.

Well, hell with Eddie.

And your wife.

- I can't.

- How about after work?

- Here?

- No.

- I gotta take the kids to school.

- Oh hell, Alvin.

When are you going to stop

working this stupid night shift?

I don't know.
