What the f*** were you

doing back there, huh?

And now you're gonna try to

blame all the rest of us.

I should f***ing shoot

you for saying that, man.

But you know what? I can't

f***ing move back here.

F***.

I'm just saying,

we could have done better.

Ugh, you know what, man...

We could've been more

effective as a team.

Please, please.

Cody, please.

Please shut up.

You're making my heart race.

Well, if we're taking

requests here, Charlie,

I'd appreciate if you'd stop

bleeding out in my backseat.

You're ruining my upholstery.

You know, you're right, man.

Can I get one of those

little handiwipes you used

to carry under your

dashboard there, buddy?

Dutch, give him one

of your tampons.

Along with the watch!

Oh, ash!

We have to go.

Your dad's gonna be pissed.

Get your sh*t.

I love the smell of

napalm in the morning.

I love the smell of

napalm in the morning.

It smells like victory.

That was pretty good.

Ash, that was

pretty good, right?

Ash?

You guys ready?

Ah!

Hey, Paul.

Hey, JT.

How you doing?

I'm doing well.

How's ash?

Oh, as good as ever.

Golfing.

Yeah, great.

Ginger, Ben, you

guys remember JT?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hey, how's Susan?

Oh, she's great.

She's uh, she's good.

I thought we'd give

her some space today.

She's all stressed out

about this and that.

Makes the house feel real small.

Right.

Today is my day to be

with the kids so I

got some burgers, some lettuce.

We're going over to the park.

You tell Susan I

said hello, okay?

I will.

You take care of her.

Sure.

Oh yeah, before I forget.

The Denton house.

I need you to get over there

and take care of that boiler.

I mean, you said

you would last week.

I know she's a pain in

the ass, but please.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Kids, come on, let's go.

Hey, JT.

Don't forget what we came from.

We got it good here.

Real good.

In you go, buddy, in you go.

Put your party hats on.

Slow down, Cody.

Shut the f*** up.

Slow down, Cody.

This road is throwing with cops.

What are you doing?

I feel like I'm

losing you here, pal.

What's going on?

I'm reacting to the situation.

Something you seem to

be incapable of, pal.

Reacting?

Okay well, I don't know

what situation it is you

think you're reacting to

because you're sure as

hell not reacting

to this problem.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you know, you

know what, Cody?

Maybe it's time we start

thinking about Charlie, huh?

Alright.

Let me ask you a

question, Dutch.

You're aware that they're

after us right now.

That they sent somebody

up here to chase us down.

You're aware of that, right?

Yes, Cody, I do realize that.

Cody, what are we

gonna do about Charlie?

Tell you what

we're not gonna do.

We're not gonna do what

you're about to try and

convince me in doing.

I know.

If it was anybody else,

it would be different.

But this is Charlie we're

talking about, alright?

I mean, if he croaks,

what happens to us?

I mean, what are we gonna

do just twist in the wind?

Hey, shut up.

You guys sound like a couple

of pansies up there.

No hospitals.

Nothing.

We go straight where we're

going and we'll get help there.

F***ing hell, man.

Ugh, god.

Where the hell are we?

I don't know, Charlie.

You didn't tell me

where we are going.

Well, what the f***?

Oh, we overshot.

We overshot, man.

You gotta keep me alert.

I can't f***ing...

My body is shutting down.

Charlie.

Charlie, where are

we going, Charlie?

This road is taking

us farther upstate.

How are we gonna know when

we get where we're going?

I gotta get my phone.

Oh, sh*t.

Gimme-gimme-gimme

your phone.

My phone is dead.

What, did you

forget to charge it?

It drowned.

Howie.

Howie.

He milks that much

like every time.

That's awesome.

How have you not

seen these, dude?

Like where is your childhood?

Will you shut up, please?

So, the trailer.

Does your dad wanna sell it?

I mean, that's what he says,

but he's never gonna sell it.

Why are we cleaning it out then?

Because he wants to sell it.

Well, speak of the devil.

Guys, come on.

The day is half over.

There's no point in

avoiding the work.

The sooner you stop

avoiding it, the sooner

it'll get done.

You're making me do that

annoying dad thing.

Sorry.

I'll crack the whip,

JT, don't worry.

You do that.

I'll be checking in on you

guys on my way back from town.

Alright.

The car needs fixing.

I'm open to suggestions.

We passed at least one

mechanics as we got off

the main road, Cody.

We give them a little

something extra.

It's not a problem.

It's never that simple.

Alright, so then what do we do?

It's my car.

So why are you opposed

to what I'm suggesting?

Not a mechanic.

If I can fix it, I would.

But I'm not, so I can't.

I don't know about that.

What happens when

the car breaks down?

You're overreacting.

I'm overreacting.

I'll tell you what needs fixing.

Charlie!

Sh*t, Charlie!

What is he?

I don't know. I don't know,

I can't tell if he's breathing.

- Check his pulse.

- I am, I am.

Alright.

Okay.

I think I feel something.

I think I feel a pulse.

I think he's in a coma.

You can't get in a

coma from blood loss.

Bullshit.

He's just unconscious.

He's got a pulse, right?

Yeah.

Okay, uh... unconscious.

Unconscious is good, right?

That's normal.

We'll let him be unconscious.

It's not normal.

He's entering the last stages.

God damnit.

Charlie, god damnit.

Come on.

Daddy.

Daddy, I got hurt.

What happened, what happened?

Ginger pushed me.

Ginger!

That doesn't look bad.

I got a band aid.

Hold on.

Look at this one,

matches your shirt.

Nice.

Alright, ready?

Mhm.

Hey.

There.

Okay.

That's beautiful!

Go play, okay?

Alright, see you.

Ginger, no.

What are you doing?

Rearming myself.

Why?

I don't know. Why not?

Ah!

Damn this.

We're here to clean, ash.

If you shoot up the

place, I'll kill you.

Yeah, with what?

Your broom?

Mhm.

Alright, that's it, that's it.

I'm done.

Hmm.

Mine is so much better.

Too artsy.

Too artsy?

Rats.

At least your dad turned

the power on for us.

Is that one of yours?

Don't move.

In.

Cellphones.

It's stuff for cleaning.

Who knows you're here?

You don't have to consult.

Just answer the question.

Just his dad.

Is this your father's trailer?

Yeah.

You live here?

No.

What are you doing here?

He sent us here to clean it out.

He might sell it.

Where's the nearest hospital?

Not for twenty or thirty miles.

We're pretty far out.

How about a doctor, a clinic?

What the f***?

How about somebody we can

call to come to us?

A doctor?

I...

Yeah, yeah, there is somebody.

Shut up!

Not now.

We gotta deal with this.

We gotta deal with more

than one thing at once.

The car, too, Cody.

Let's try to use this

thing to our advantage.

Charlie's a f***ing

ticking time bomb.

You're a ticking time bomb.

Use this to our advantage,

what are you talking about?

- Cody.

- People know they are here.

What are we gonna do when

they come looking for them?
