Ain't nothing, get you back.

Move!

Move!

Now you three stay in here.

I'm gonna go check that out.

( DOOR CREAKS, CLOSING )

( POLICE RADIO CHATTER )

( EERIE MUSIC PLAYING )

( PHONE RINGS )

There's gotta be

a way out of here.

That's it right there.

( RADIO CHATTER )

Well, Daisy May, I suppose if

you want a job done properly...

you have to do it yourself.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP )

What the hell?

( ELECTRICITY CRACKLING )

( SHELL CLANGS )

Run! Run, boy, you can't hide!

The big bad Sheriff's up

for a killing party tonight!

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

( FAINT WHISPERING )

( WHISTLES )

Natalie, get us out

of these cuffs.

You need us and you know it.

No, the last time,

you almost killed me.

Look around you.

If we stay here tonight,

it's over for all of us.

He's right, Natalie.

Tonight is not our night.

( ELECTRICITY CRACKLES )

( MONASTIC CHANTS PLAYING )

That's right,

I knew you had it in you.

Oh, shut up, would you? Come on!

( KEYS CLINKING ) Damn!

It was right there.

I don't see it.

It was right there beneath you.

I can't see it.

I can't see anything!

Hey! It's time

to get out of here.

( LOUD BANG )

( GUN FIRES ) What was that?

( LOUD THUD )

My god, where is it?

They were right there, come on!

What is... what...

Ugh.

Looks like Officer What's His

Face isn't coming back to get us.

Come on. Come on.

I found it. I found it!

Get these. Hurry up. Come on!

He's coming.

Okay... All right.

( DOOR OPENS )

Watch out, watch out.

Oh, man,

( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP )

( LOCK CLICKS ) You think that

lock is gonna do us any good?

That thing outside is real.

It's the thing from the news.

And we're next, unless...

Unless what? Huh? So suddenly we're

all best friends all of a sudden?

No offense, but you're

not exactly lifeline material.

And let's just say this is the

last time you and I do business.

Okay? So, good luck

to the two of you...

I'm getting the hell

out of here.

Walk out that door

and you're a dead man.

Only way out

of here is together.

Listen, guys, if we... if we can

just make it through the night...

then your money and your pills will

both be back in your guys' hands.

So we're gonna risk getting killed

in exchange for what's already ours?

Or we can die right now.

We just gotta make it

to that truck.

Just give me the keys,

I'll go get her.

No. You stay with her.

Get what you owe me.

I'll get the truck.

Guys, um... about the truck?

It's kind of, uh, broken.

Oh.

I didn't want

you guys following me!

But this was before...

any of this.

Oh, b*tch just keeps getting

better and better.

Is there anything that

you can't ruin?

Listen, Jack, if you just put the

wires back in the distributor cap...

she'll run like a charm.

You two, hold up your end.

I'll pick you up out front.

Wait, wait, um...

about what I said earlier?

I'm really sorry.

It's me who's messing

everything up.

Nah, you're gonna be all right.

Just got to be a little smarter.

Stay safe.

( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING )

Aww, getting all lovey dovey.

Now they taught you well

at whore school, didn't they?

You sure as hell can fake it when

you need to make it, can't ya?

It's not all fake.

But you wouldn't know the

difference, would you?

You expect me to buy that?

Do you?

Look at this face. Would I lie?

( ELECTRICITY CRACKLES )

Holy...

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

( MUSIC CHANGES )

Where is it? I don't know.

Where'd you put it?

I don't know, listen,

it was right there.

Where is it now?

Look, just stay here,

you look...

I'm gonna go upstairs

and check it out.

I don't think so.

Trust me.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

( ELECTRICITY BUZZES )

( METALLIC GROAN )

Looking for this, Brad?

Why do you look so surprised?

All your stuff's there, man.

You're home free.

But you never stuck

to your part of the deal.

( C*CKS REVOLVER )

Now, on your knees.

Is that all you got?

Huh, Rob? No, no, no!

I got something a little bit

more poetic for you.

Go on. Do it. I want you to.

( CLANG )

( FLESH TEARING )

Looks like Daisy May's

still into you, pal.

She's mine now.

Oh!

( ENGINE STARTS )

Mm, so are we square?

( CAR HONKS )

Almost.

( CAR APPROACHING )

Get in! Where's the lunatic?

I don't know, get in!

There's just one problem, Jack.

What?

Why? Why? Get out, now!

You, I should shoot.

But you did save my life back

there. So now we're square.

What? You can't

just leave me here.

Oh, I can, and I will.

See, our little love story is just

way too dangerous, sweetheart.

I think you're better

suited for the road.

But we were on

to a new beginning.

New beginning?

There are no new beginnings

for people like us.

Haven't you figured

that out already?

I'm afraid there's no fairytale

ending for you, sweetheart.

( ELECTRICITY BUZZING )

Oh!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

( CHURCH BELL TOLLS )

( ELECTRICITY BUZZING )

( DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES )

Rise.

Behold your fate, sinner.

( STRUGGLES )

Why didn't you kill me before?

Salvation was within your reach.

What are you doing?

Sending you to hell

where you belong.

You had your chance

to change... but you failed.

Agh!

You're just like the rest

of them, corrupt and wicked.

( MUFFLED SCREAMING )

Agh! Agh!

Jack! Get the keys

in my front pocket!

It's in the front pocket.

Unlock the cuffs.

Thank you.

( GROANS )

Oh, my god...

it's going to be okay!

It already is.

You're gonna walk away.

I'm so sorry!

Don't be. You got time.

What? Take... take the truck.

To start again.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

( PHONE RINGS )

( MACHINE BEEPS )

NATALIE (V.O.):
Hey mom, I'm

sorry I keep missing you.

On the way back to you now.

The car's all fixed.

I met this really nice man,

Jack, on the road last night.

I guess not all strangers

are the bad kind.

Okay, well, I love you

and I'll see you soon.

( ENGINE STARTS )

( WIND BLOWING )

Where are you headed?

Anywhere but here.

Hop in.

Are you okay?

What happened to you?

You should see the other guys.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

Ooh, I can't even begin to tell you about

how many weirdoes I've met on the road.

Huh, I can imagine.

I didn't know a chick could

drive a bad boy like this.

It used to belong

to a friend of mine.

An ex?

Yeah. Something like that.

So... what's your story?

How much time you got?

( MUSIC FADES UP )

A silhouette in candlelight

If you're gonna break a heart

Make it mine

Take a shot on me tonight

If it leaves a scar

We'll know we tried

Let me share your pain

Hurt me now

Give it all to me

Hurt me now

Love the games you play

Hurt me now

Break me down

Don't make me wait

Don't make me wait

Nowhere to run

No place to hide

Your perfect floors

In plain sight

Let me down

I'll be all right

Test of faith For me tonight
