The Getaway Page #3

Synopsis: Doc McCoy is put in prison because his partners chickened out and flew off without him after exchanging a prisoner with a lot of money. Doc knows Jack Benyon, a rich "business"-man, is up to something big, so he tells his wife (Carol McCoy) to tell him that he's for sale if Benyon can get him out of prison. Benyon pulls some strings and Doc McCoy is released again. Unfortunately he has to cooperate with the same person that got him to prison.

-The deal wasn't good enough! -Then you should've walked away!

-And you'd still be sittin' in that sh*t-hole! -I trusted you!

-And I came through for you! -Yeah, "repeatedly."

F*** you!

You weren't straight with me!

I didn't think you could handle the truth, and I was right.

You weren't sure which one of us you were gonna shoot, huh?

-Is that what you think? -Yeah, that's what I think!

-Then I'm sorry. -Sorry you shot Benyon?

No, I'm sorry I f***ed him.

'Cause I did it for you, and you're not worth it!

B*tch.

-Get in. -Go to hell.

Hey.

Get in.

I guess you did what you had to do to get me out.

You'd do the same for me, wouldn't you, Doc?

You'd humiliate yourself for me, wouldn't you?

Wouldn't you?

F***.

-Honey, there's a man out here. -Who is it?

-I don't know. -Oh! God!

Okay, what's the damage here?

That glucose should start to work in about a half hour,

and you'll... you'll feel better then.

That collarbone's badly shattered.

There's no, no infection yet.

You should just, um, keep...

changing those bandages several times a day.

Looks like I'm gonna need myself a nurse.

Get over there where I can see you. Go on.

That's better.

You know, on second thought,

it might be wiser if we just leave those bandages in place,

'cause I'm nervous about you just irritating that wound.

Is that what you thought, Harold?

-Come here and sit down.

-Get over here and sit down! Come here, Doc.

You think real hard...

and tell me the truth.

Am I gonna need more lookin' after... or not?

Well, there's...

- Yes, there's,

there's a chance of gangrene setting in.

-Oh, lovely.

-All right.

The three of us are gonna do some traveling.

Tomorrow morning, we're gonna take your car and go to El Paso.

No, that... that's just not possible. We...

Look, we can't leave here. Okay?

We've got our work. We've gotta take care of these animals.

What do you say, Fran? Wanna do some travelin'?

Oh,

sure, I mean, whatever you say.

-What kind of car you got, Harold?

A Chevy. We have a Chevy Suburban.

Oh, that's nice. I like Chevies.

Why don't you go outside and gas it up?

Check the tires and check the oil.

Make sure it's gonna run real good,

'cause I don't want any trouble on the road.

And if you come back in here with anyone else,

I'm gonna stop her clock.

You got that? She dies.

You do what he says, Harold.

That's right, Harold. Now go on.

Get the f*** outta here.

Come here, honey. Come here, polka dots. Sit down.

What's his name?

Kitty.

He's cute,

and so are you.

-How long has he been dead? -A few hours, at least.

-Hell, they're probably halfway to Mexico.

- Hansen said they was gonna split the money up in Tucson,

but if they got hot, they'd head to El Paso, the Border Hotel.

Check both places.

Put out the word.

-I know somebody's got our money. -What about Benyon?

- There's a dry well about a mile from here.

Jack deserves a proper burial.

You just do what I tell you.

.. The huge explosion of a tanker truck,

which panicked nearby spectators,

was all part of the extremely well-organized robbery.

Reporter Roscoe Serra was on the scene within minutes.

We go now to his taped report from the dog track earlier today.

A lot of folks were at the dog track today trying to get a little lucky,

but it seems that some people got a little luckier than most.

This explosion appears to have been a decoy for a large robbery here.

Details are sketchy, but this is what we know: One guard has been killed.

Police officials believe this is the work of experts.

They knew what they were doing, but they don't know who pulled this robbery off.

- F***in' pinhead Hansen.

I say that we dump that wagon right now and hop on that train to El Paso.

-We still headin' to Gollie's? -We gotta get some new passports.

You got a better idea?

-You okay? -Sure.

-Don't I seem okay? -I don't know.

If you were still pissed at me,

I found you one of Harold's T-shirts.

Could be a little small for your body, but it's clean.

Ooh! Let me have that.

I wouldn't worry too much about Harold if I were you.

He's not gonna bring anyone back here. He's harmless.

Well, ain't that the truth.

How long you two been married?

-Two years. -Hmm.

An exciting two years I'll bet it's been,

hangin' around this place, fixin' up poor little doggies.

Hmm.

Come here.

Look,

I'm not gonna be any trouble to you.

The fact is, this may sound kinda funny, but I was thinkin' that...

maybe you and I could be friends.

Been my experience that havin' friends is overrated.

Oh, well.

Come here.

You don't always have to be pointin' that gun at me.

I'll do whatever you want. Really, I will.

What are you wearin' underneath that dress?

Nothin'.

Turn around.

Sit down.

Wipe off that nail polish, 'cause I don't like it. Hey.

When I tell you to come here, you move your ass real fast. You understand?

'Cause I got you figured out from the start.

Now go ahead. Wait a second.

-Get rid of this too.

Come here.

Don't get blood on me. I hate blood.

I'll park the car while you get the tickets.

-Meet me in the bar. -Okay.

That bag's kind of heavy. Why don't you let me take it?

It's not heavy. I can handle it.

-Hey, you! Don't park here.

-Use the structure around the corner. -Yes, sir, boss.

Here are your two tickets to El Paso, your change,

and your train should be leaving in about one hour.

Thank you.

The train to El Paso has been delayed...

and will be departing in 90 minutes.

The train to El Paso has been delayed...

and will be departing in 90 minutes.

Thank you.

-Let me help you with that. -No, that's okay.

No, no, it's a big bag.

-There you go. -Thank you.

Glad to help.

The third bridesmaid's dress took up half of my closet.

- Did you ever wear the others? - No!

-Tequila. -Sauza okay?

It's fine.

-Would you like another? -Please.

I guess you have to catch a train?

That's right.

Yeah, me too. I'm goin' home.

Where's home?

Utah. The Beehive State.

I'm from Orem. It's right near Salt Lake.

Say, you wouldn't happen to be Mormon, would you?

There's about 12 people in the state that aren't Mormon, and I'm one of 'em.

Well, that makes you kind of special then, huh?

Yeah, I guess it does.

Say, uh, you wouldn't be taking the train to Salt Lake, would you?

No. No, I'm afraid not.

Never have any luck. Sorry.

Where is it?

-It's in a locker over there. -Show me.

-Just can't forget about it, can you, Doc? -Makes two of us.

We should cut the money and split up right here.

If that's how you feel about it, then fine by me.

-We've lost something, Doc. -I think Benyon got to you.

At least I got to him.

What the...

-I know I put it in this locker. -What are you tryin' to pull?

I know I put it in this locker. L... A man helped me...

-just a few minutes ago. -Someone helped you?

-Yeah, and then I went to the bar. -What did he look like?

He was tall. He had a red shirt. I know I put it in that locker.

He switched the keys on you. The oldest trick in the book.
