My God.

Oh, God.

Hell, no.

- Damn!

- What?

My new Keds are all dirty!

Get there and push!

The car's got nowhere to go.

The road ends there.

There's nothing

but houses and trees.

Ditch the car, man.

We've got a witness on the loose.

Trust me.

You won't hear a peep from her.

She's going down, execution style.

What if she's gone already?

She's not gone.

There's no place for her to go.

Damn. She took out that barrier.

It's going to be impossible to

find her, even if she is around.

Come on, guys.

Maybe we can hotwire the truck.

I'll find you now, c*nt!

We caught up in this

like it's a soap opera.

We need to blast out of town,

act like we were never around.

- Vingh, get over here.

- How much "Kill" you been smoking?

Come on, man. No one cares

about a f***ing Rent-A-Pig!

He's just collateral damage

to the people at the mall.

She's the only witness!

If we hit the road right now...

w could be miles away

before they find out.

We could be swimming in the

Atlantic, like you promised me.

Huey, come here.

Come here.

Remember how I broke

you out of that home?

I was there for you, right?

You trust me, right?

Right?

All we got to do is find her,

and we're out of here. I promise.

That's it.

There's her Ford!

Somebody tell her mom

to lay out her black dress.

Why? Is she dead?

No, she went through her trunk.

She's here.

She's hiding somewhere.

She left her purse.

It's all in here. Her cell phone.

Where are you?

- Her battery gave out.

- We're going to find you!

There she is!

Go that way! That way!

F***!

- You see her down there?

- No, man.

- She must have gone around.

- She vanished.

Check each one of these houses.

Split up. Spread out!

Della!

We know who you are!

You can't hide, honey.

We're not going to give up

till we find you.

You're trapped, Della.

We're going to find you!

Where's Little Red Riding Hood?

Where was that?

Check the house next door!

Move it!

There she is!

- We got you.

- You're dead, b*tch.

Time to say goodbye.

You hear that?

Do you hear that?

It's the sound of the waves!

Sounds good, right?

Yeah, Chuckie.

It sounds great.

Don't worry.

When we're done with you,

we'll send you back to mister...

You want play nice?

You want to play?

Back off! Hold back!

Give me a minute.

I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

You okay?

Chill out.

You all right?

Settle down!

Settle down!

You all right? Settle down.

You know how we know your name?

You messed up, Della.

You left your purse in the car.

Give me that.

Your photo

doesn't do you justice.

He is right.

- You look better in person.

- You do.

You look good.

You're not going

to need it anymore.

What's in that box, Della?

What's in the box?

What's in the box, girl?

What's up? You think

she's carrying some cash?

Some jewelry or something?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Maybe she cashed in

her life savings.

Plan on running away?

Start a new life?

That is it, Della?

You got enough scratch

to buy us off?

Open the box.

Open the box!

- Open it!

- Okay.

Take the box. We're going

to kill her anyway.

I'll open the box.

You know what?

She ain't got nothing.

Let's take that p*ssy

and get going.

I got her!

Down there!

Look out, Huey!

- What the f***, niggas?

- Shut up!

- Are you hurt?

- I said, shut up!

And don't use the N-word.

You ain't representing.

Huey?

- What did you do?

- What do you mean?

Stop f***ing around.

Huey?

- What's up, little brother?

- Spare me, God.

Quit f***ing around.

Huey?

What's up?

F***!

F***!

Come on, man.

What the f*** did you do?

Get off him!

I didn't kill him.

- You stepped on his face!

- Don't touch me!

- I didn't kill him! She did.

- Get the f*** off!

God! Huey!

- I'm going to get that b*tch!

- You let her go!

You piece of sh*t!

Where the f*** is she?

F***.

Della!

Della!

Della!

I guess you are right

When we talked in the heat

There's no room for the weak

No room for the weak

Where will it end?

Where will it end?

Where will it end?

Where will it end?

This is the room

The start of it all

They're talking to you

I remember it all

I've seen the night

Filled with blood and pain

And the bodies obtained

And the bodies obtained

And the bodies obtained

What are you doing?

It's a tribute.

A gesture.

Where will it end?

That'll wake up every

cop in Podunk county!

It's for him.

It's for Huey.

I didn't mean it, Huey.

What did you say?

What?

I didn't mean to kill him.

Get away from him.

Get the f*** away from him!

Get the f*** away from him!

Get away from him!

Get away! Get away!

- Get away!

- F*** you!

I'm going to get you!

Do you hear me, Della?

I'm going to get you!

God.

MOMMY WE LOVE YOU

Della!

Della?

Wait.

It's "Bulgari".

- What's "Bulgari"?

- It's a perfume, dude.

It smells more

like that No. 5 sh*t.

- "Chanel".

- No, it's "Bulgari".

My dad's b*tch bathes in it.

It's blood.

It's her blood.

Maybe she's hurt.

This way.

Go, go, go!

Watch out, dude.

Look out!

Damn!

- Sh*t!

- What happened?

I stepped in the stream!

- That was raw.

- Who cares, man?

Nobody gives a sh*t

if we live or die.

Quit playing with the flashlight.

We are stumbling in the dark!

He who finds it, shines it.

- Let's go!

- Where the hell is she?

- Shut up and move it!

- Damn!

Let's go, guys.

There she is!

Don't let her get away!

Huey?

Is that you, Huey?

I saw him there in those trees!

Sure you did.

Son of a b*tch!

I'm going to get you, b*tch!

You will see!

You f***ing b*tch!

Son of a b*tch!

Time's up, you b*tch.

God!

Tomas!

Quiet.

Tomas is gone.

I can feel it.

He's probably got her

strung up by now.

There's something over here.

Looks like a body.

It's a tree stump,

you dumb wonton.

Tomas...

She's going to kill us too.

We're all going to die here.

No gun can kill

a spirit gone bad.

She's gone bad.

She's gone bad.

Gone bad.

I'm going to get this girl.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Where are you, God?

Where are you?

All I want to do

is see my babies!

Where are you?

Where are you?

F***.

F***, f***!

Over there, Chuckie!

You're going down!

Slow down, b*tch.

- F***.

- Get of my way, Vingh!

Get up!

Get up! She's taking off!

I don't feel good, Chuckie.

I got hypothermia.

You'll be fine.

It ain't natural how

she gets away every time.

Let's get this over with.

You go up there.

I'll cover you.

I ain't going there without

the gun. End of story.

I never pegged you for a p*ssy.

Even when Tomas called it,

I always defended you.

No one ever called me a p*ssy.

She couldn't weight more than 12o.

You could break her in half

- Tomas never called me a p*ssy!

- Fine.

You don't want to go? Don't go.

I'm going to get this b*tch

for Tomas. For Huey.

You go up.

I'm going to go around the side.

No limits on power.

No limits on power!

Vingh?

Della?

Della?

It's just you and me left now.

I saw a trail

of your blood back there.

You must be hurt.

I'm hurting, too.

You busted my collarbone.
