The Frontier Page #5

Such a tragedy.

Why the hell

did you have to kill her'?

At this pace,

you may well be next.

Now open the trunk.

Why?

This is where you earn

your thousand dollars.

I asked for 2,000.

Open it.

Jesus Christ!

LEE:
Who the hell is that'?

Eddie did this'?

How?

How do you think'?

Help me with the bodies.

Let's get this done, now!

(door closes)

I'm sorry.

(door closes)

Flynn?

You want me to drive'?

Flynn?

(gunshot)

(door opens)

(sawing)

(shouting)

(gagging)

Stop it, Flynn!

Get off of her!

Shoot him!

No.

What a shame.

LEE:
Goddamn it.

Just get me in the car.

Tell me, what is it

that keeps you up at night?

Luanne, there's a doctor

in New River.

He'll take care of me there.

Those aren't things

to worry about.

Christmas is

right around the corner.

And we're all here.

Luanne, I'm gonna die.

Don't you see'?

There's no time for tears.

Is... is that

from your goddamn movie'?

Goddamn it, Luanne!

Look.

The snow is falling.

I think it's a sign.

Next year will surely be heaven.

Will you be a doll and drive'?

But he's gonna die.

We can't be going to New River.

Not tonight.

You've been such a big help.

I'd hate to have to leave you.

Well, that went better

than expected.

Where are we going?

The Frontier.

(engine starts)

(zipper opens)

I couldn't have done

this without you.

So I want you to have this.

I don't know

how much is in there,

but it should last you a while.

Go ahead.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you.

Oh, you're so young.

I'm gonna teach you

everything I know.

Now, if you wouldn't mind,

go make us some coffee.

I'm gonna round up a few

things before we hit the road.

We don't have much time.

Yeah.

Laine'?

Stop it!

(Luanne grunts)

(grunts)

(screams)

MAN:
I can't believe you

looked me in the face

Can't believe you would go

All my tears keep on sayin'

I love you so

I'm sorry for all the

times I hurt you

Sorry for all the

times I lied

Give me one more chance

and I'll show you

The devil has died

I can't change

what's happened

Let me try to ease the pain

Please don't go

I need you so

I know I'm to blame

If my tears cannot stop you

One thing be...

( continues, faint)

Hold it right there.

Drop the bag.

(bag hits ground)

Kneel.

Hands on your head.

She's dead, isn't she?

Dispatch. This is 62A

requesting backup.

WOMAN:
Your 926'?

Frontier Motel.

Old 66. Truxton.

Copy that. The situation'?

(sighs)

We got at least

a half dozen bodies here.

Half a mile down the road,

near a vehicle.

And at least one here

at the motel.

Jesus Christ.

Looks like some of the players

from the Dunbar heist.

Any sign of the money'?

- Is this everything?

- As far as I know.

No sign of the money,

but I'll have backup

search the premises.

Please stand by.

Those people in the trunk...

Eddie couldn't have killed them.

And who are you?

Just a customer.

Picked the wrong motel,

didn't you?

Woke up.

Heard some screaming.

Gunshots down the road.

Stepped out and almost

got yourself killed.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

In a few minutes, a whole lot

of people are gonna be here

to clean up this shithole.

Make sure you're here. They're

gonna ask you some questions.

What am I supposed

to tell them'?

The truth, naturally.

(sighs)

MAN (on radio):
And in Truxton, the

three-week search for those responsible

in the Dunbar armored truck

heist ended in violence today.

Three suspects-John Flynn,

Lee Towers and Eddie King...

Were found dead along Route 66.

The fourth, Luanne

Brice, was found dead

at the local motel she owned.

In a strange turn of events authorities

have also obtained evidence

linking the thieves to the

murder of Jed H. Burnham,

whose body was found earlier

this week at a Flagstaff motel.

Burnham's father, H.W. Burnham,

has commended police for

solving his son's murder.

So far, no money has

been recovered.
