You'll see.

I'm gonna get me some coffee.

Well, lookie here, my lucky day.

I'm gonna let

you boys handle this.

Careful what words you use now.

Hey, let me get this one.

I need a little wake-me-up.

I'm getting bored,

listening to hobbs' story.

Good afternoon, sir.

You a U.S. citizen?

I am.

Yeah?

Can you go ahead and turn your

car off, put it in park, please?

Go ahead and grab your

ID while you're at it.

Here you go.

Hang tight a minute.

All right.

This your vehicle?

Yes, sir.

Flores.

Yeah.

- For you.

- Who is it?

Someone asking for Lance.

Where are you heading?

Who has this number?

Beats me.

Good. Yeah.

Where are you coming from?

Down Terlingua.

Terlingua?

Where are you heading?

Alpine.

Alpine.

All right, well, you have

yourself a nice day, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Whoa, hold on, Davis.

Hobbs, I got it. I got it.

I already checked him out.

Where are you going?

Just heading home to alpine.

Where are you coming from?

Hobbs, I already checked...

Down Terlingua.

My cousin lives down there.

He was a little sick, so I was

just bringing him some groceries.

Flores, what the f*** is this?

That's very nice.

Would you tell him to let

me do my f***ing job?

Did you forget your house keys,

or did you put

those somewhere else?

Excuse me. I...

I was just noticing that

there weren't any house keys

on your key-ring there.

Now, I was just wondering.

Yeah, I mean, I keep them in the glove box.

I can show them to you.

No, no, that's all right.

Okay.

Hobbs, who is this lady?

She's insane.

Hold up.

Sir, shut off the vehicle.

Shut off the vehicle now!

No, no, no!

Hobbs!

Hobbs!

He busted my wing.

How's my buddy?

I haven't asked him.

All right, look, I need to

secure your weapon, okay?

Loosen that grip.

What's the matter with him?

Acts like he ain't never seen

a dead body before.

He hasn't, not a fresh one.

Davis! Davis, go to

the truck so you can find

something to make a sling with.

Water, too.

Hey, we're gonna have

to get you to the hospital.

Nope, I ain't going anywhere

till I see what that

joker was carrying.

Hey, Omaha. Let's go.

It's all I could find.

That's perfect.

All right.

I got to touch your arm, okay?

- Oh, you big baby.

- Oh, shut it.

Water.

Hey, you all right?

Huh?

You okay?

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

I'm just worried about Hobbs.

I already said it. I ain't

laying up in some hospital bed.

I wanna know what's so

special about this vehicle.

I ain't doing it.

You heard the man.

Let's get you up.

Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You up?

I don't need both of yous.

Hey, Flores! Flores, you can't touch this.

It's a crime scene now.

We're all right. Just a

quick look under the hood.

Holy sh*t.

Head to tail, Davis.

Check the doors

if you're up to it.

I'm up to it.

You know it's going to

be in the tail, Flores.

Oh, don't rob me

of the fun part.

Hey, Flores, there's a firearm up here.

I'm gonna secure it.

Copy.

Cab's clear.

Nothing yet?

Nope.

He look like he worked

at pizza palace to you?

Definitely worth staying for.

How much do you think

that is, 150 pounds?

That's worth millions of dollars.

Sh*t, 10 maybe.

Man, never thought I'd see

cocaine come through here.

Told you something was gonna

happen today, didn't I?

Oh, yeah.

Felt it.

What's the matter, kid?

Not enough for you?

No, I just...

I didn't know that

that could all fit

in that little car.

It ain't the strangest place

I've seen sh*t smuggled.

Impressive, fellows.

We did good today.

Just call the cavalry,

get some trophy photo,

and get this

whole mess cleaned up.

Hey, call this in, Davis.

Hey.

Come on, man, I know you've

seen that at the academy.

I can't do that.

Quit screwing around, man.

Just...

I can't call it in.

What do you mean,

you can't call it in?

Well, screw it. I'll do it.

Hey, take your hand off your radio

for a minute. Just listen to me.

F*** you doing, boy?

If these don't make it

to where they're going,

I'm dead.

My whole f***ing family is dead.

- What the hell?

- Are you joking?

I knew something was up.

Cut it out. Cut that sh*t out.

I'm not joking.

I'm not joking. You cut

this sh*t out right now.

I'm not f***ing

around right now!

You think I'm

f***ing around right now?

You're gonna take one hand,

move it very slowly.

Your right hand,

grab your pistol.

All right, calm down.

Don't make any

f***ing movements.

Okay. All right, all right.

Okay? Now kick it over

to me, very softly.

I got Hobbs's gun, okay?

I know exactly where it is.

I'm reaching for it, okay?

Very slowly. Don't you f***ing move.

Right here.

Kick it over to me.

Now get back.

Okay, radios.

I want your radio.

I want your radio.

You're gonna get Hobbs's radio.

F***!

Right there.

I'm going over.

There.

Okay, now listen to me.

I f***ed up, okay?

I f***ed up big, all right?

But this wasn't

supposed to happen.

None of this was

supposed to happen.

The only thing I knew,

was that this car was not

supposed to be stopped.

Where they going?

I don't know.

What do you mean,

you don't know?

What do you think he means?

This sh*t is not happening, man.

What are you expecting us to do?

Davis, now you listen to me.

As far as anybody is concerned,

we just busted

a major load of drugs, okay?

We're still doing our jobs.

Now, we call this in.

We let them know there's

been threats on your life.

They'll transfer you out.

You are protected, all right?

No, no, no. They're gonna

f***ing protect me?

They couldn't protect me before.

How the f*** are they gonna

protect me now? Huh?

Davis.

Put these on.

Put one on Hobbs.

Be careful with his arm.

You shitless coward.

This wouldn't be

f***ing happening

if you'd just let me

do my goddamn job!

This isn't happening.

You're doing this.

Come on, Davis.

You know exactly what happens when

you get marked by the cartel.

That sh*t doesn't go away.

You seen it.

I have. That's why

we call it in now.

It's only gonna get f***ed up

from here, all right?

Think about it.

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

No, no, no.

It's too late for all that.

46123, 46123, 46123.

Don't tell him anything.

It's a coordinate.

Shut up.

What'd you say?

That's a coordinate.

You're goddamn right, it's a coordinate.

Go f*** yourself.

Go. Go. We're giving you

an hour head start. Go.

No. Are you not hearing me?

It's too f***ing late for that.

The second I let you go, you know

exactly what you're gonna do.

You're gonna call me in on an arrest.

You think I'm f***ing stupid?

Yes, that's why

you need to disappear,

'cause every agent in the

southwest is coming after you.

You don't think

I f***ing know that?

But from the moment this a**hole

pulled this car over to secondary,

my family's throats are slit.

Me, too, so now we're all

f***ing in this together.

So get in the f***ing truck.

Get in the f***ing truck.

Don't f*** with me right now.

All right.

Hobbs, you think

I'm f***ing around?

- Think I'm f***ing around?
