Oh, f***.

Is there a way out?

No!

See him?

No.

He comes through

that door, he's dead!

Twenty-one years old.

They didn't do it, boys.

(CHUCKLING) College students.

They didn't do this.

They didn't.

You see him?

No, I don't see him.

I don't know

where he went.

Oh, God. Jim... Jim...

What?

There's a cop.

It's the cop from the diner.

We got to talk to him.

No. No. No.

He thinks we did it.

Only chance we have

to get out of here.

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

All right.

You take this, all right?

Okay.

All right?

Okay.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

You just watch. Watch.

Okay.

Officer, please,

you don't understand!

We're all in danger here.

You aren't going anywhere

this time, son.

Please, Officer!

This is SO-235.

I have the male suspect

in custody.

I repeat, I have

the male suspect in custody.

The female remains at large.

GRACE:
Get off him.

State 531.

We have a support unit

just minutes away.

Do you copy?

Come on. Get up.

Take it easy.

Let's not go do

anything stupid.

Just stay calm.

I am calm.

Grace.

Hey! Just keep your hands

in the air, please.

Grace, you don't need

to do this.

Jim, take it.

Sorry about this, man.

We have to

get out of here.

We got to go. Come on,

let's get in the car.

Please, sir. Please.

JIM:
Turn around, please, sir.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

What the f***

are you doing?

What am I supposed to do?

We have to get out of here.

I know,

but this is crazy.

I know.

Just go...

Please get in the car, sir.

Listen. Just take it easy.

Just give me the gun.

No. You don't understand.

We don't have time

for this.

We have to

get out of here.

Grace, we got to go.

Come on, please just

get in the car. Get in.

(GASPS)

JIM:
What did you do?

Freeze!

I didn't do it!

JIM:
Get in the car!

Get in the car!

We got to get out of here!

SO-236.

We have an officer down!

We have an officer down!

Female suspect shot Edwards.

She took off

in a Torrance County

Sheriff's vehicle!

What the f***

happened back there?

It must've been him!

He's not going to stop, is he?

No.

He's framing us.

No. No. If he was doing that,

he would have stopped

when he killed the family.

Then what does he want?

I don't know!

WOMAN ON POLICE RADIO.:

Suspects armed

and considered dangerous.

OFFICER 1.:
Lieutenant, we are

in pursuit of the suspects

on Highway 285.

ESTERIDGE.:
Copy that.

They are armed and dangerous.

How long till

my air support is 10-97?

OFFICER 2.:
This is Air 2.

We're on their 20,

but don't have a visual.

Get on that thing

and tell them

that he's back there

in the trailer park.

Get on that thing.

Hello?

Is this on?

Can anybody hear me?

Oh, sh*t!

Air 2 to base.

We've spotted the suspects.

We're joining

ground pursuit.

This is bad.

ESTERIDGE.:
Grace Andrews

and Jim Halsey.

This is

Lieutenant Esteridge

with the New Mexico

State Police Department.

How y'all doing?

Listen, we're really

not too good, okay?

The guy that shot that cop

is back there

in the trailer park

that we just pulled out of,

off of that dirt road.

Well, now, you see,

I have an officer down,

and I have a witness

says that you did it.

So you'll pull

your car over.

If you feel like

talking about it,

we can talk about it then.

Okay, what do we do?

Just tell him

that you didn't do it.

Listen to me.

I did not shoot that cop!

Okay?

I didn't shoot him,

we didn't kill that family,

we haven't done anything.

When are you gonna

believe us?

Now, now, now, you don't

make the rules around here,

you see? I do.

So, why don't you

just pull over

so we'll chat about it

before this thing gets

out of control, okay?

We can't. He's close.

We can't pull over here.

It's not safe.

Why don't you

just pull the car over,

or I'll have my men

help you do it?

We cannot pull over here!

You don't understand!

OFFICER.:
Suspects are still

not stopping, sir.

I don't give a rat's cock bag

how you do it!

You will pull them over

and stop them right now!

Over!

OFFICER.:
Copy on that.

What the...

Oh, my God!

Oh, sh*t!

I'm gonna pull over!

Okay! Okay! Okay!

Oh, f***!

OFFICER.:
Lieutenant,

ground is firing on suspects.

Hold her steady!

Okay, we're pulling over.

Please, just stop shooting!

Air 2 to ground,

you got another vehicle

approaching fast from behind.

It's a late-model

black Trans Am.

Oh, f***!

What?

It's him, Jim.

F***!

ESTERIDGE.:

Somebody talk to me.

Have you pulled over

the suspects yet?

What the f***

is going on down there?

F***!

Oh, my God!

OFFICER.:
What's going on

down there?

F***!

Son of a b*tch!

You gotta be

five-finger f***ing me!

Keep going!

Grace, I can't go

any faster!

Just drive. Go.

I can't go

any f***in' faster!

Oh, f***.

(EXCLAIMS)

Where's he going?

Come on. We got to go.

He might come back.

Where?

Jim.

Get your gun. Let's go.

Okay.

All right.

We're good.

Try to call home.

What's wrong?

It goes right to

the front desk.

Are you serious?

I should go find a payphone.

Call our folks,

see if we can get some help.

I'll be back in 15 minutes.

Okay.

Hey.

I'm sorry

I got us into this.

Well, what about

the lovebirds?

Are you sure

you wouldn't like to see

a canary instead?

We have some very nice

canaries this week.

All right.

All right,

may I see them, please?

There we are.

Whoa, there.

Back in your gilded cage,

Melanie Daniels.

(GRACE GIGGLES)

You're making me horny.

I'm f***in' horny, too!

(GASPING)

(GRUNTING)

I have a gun!

Jim?

Jim?

Jim!

Jim!

Jim?

Jim?

(TRUCK ENGINE REVVING)

Jim!

(MUFFLED YELLS)

Okay, I'll get you.

(MUFFLED) Grace! Help me!

I'm here and I'm gonna

get you down.

I'm gonna get you down.

You've got to get me

out of here.

It really hurts!

I know. Just hold still.

Just hold still.

Please stop him. Please!

Wait, wait, wait.

(REVVING ENGINE)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

No!

Stop it!

You're killing him!

(SCREAMING)

Turn it off!

No.

Turn the truck off!

These clutches

are tricky things.

Touchy, you know.

(SCREAMING)

One little slip, and...

I will shoot you.

You shoot me,

my foot comes off the clutch.

Now, get in.

Get in!

Okay.

(REVVING ENGINE)

(JIM SCREAMING)

Close the door.

(MOANING)

Turn it off.

Stop! Stop the truck!

Turn it off!

I can't.

Yes, you can.

Just turn it off.

I can't. I can't.

You're sick.

What do you want?

(REVVING ENGINE)

(WHIMPERING)

Point it in my face.

Right here.

Do it.

(MUFFLED YELLS)

It's your chance, Grace,

your chance to kill a man

who's gonna kill

your whiny f***in' boyfriend.

No! Don't you say that!

Don't say that to me!

I want to die.

Now pull the f***in' trigger.

State police!

(JIM YELLING)

Put the gun down!

This is the police!

Drop the gun now!

Don't listen to them.

No. Stop. Please.

OFFICER:
Put the gun down!

Go ahead. You can do it!

Put it down!

Put the gun down!

Put the gun down now!

Put that gun down,

God damn it!

I can't...

(SCREAMING)

Please.

Please, don't tease him.

Please.
