Hey! [Honks Horn]
Hey!
[Riveting]
Hello?
[Banging] Hello!
Who cut off my music?
You cut my music off.
You Harlin? No. Darrell.
Is Harlin around? I doubt it. He's dead.
Do you own this place? Yep.
Why they call it "Harlin's"?
'Cause Harlin used to own it.
Could you take a look at my car? I think the radiator hose is busted.
All right.
[Grunts, Sighs] I think it's gonna be another hot one today.
'Course, then again, it might not be. You can't ever tell around here.
When it's hot, I don't like to get out of bed. 'Course, when it's cold, I don't either.
Look, Harlin. I got... It's Darrell.
Whatever. Could you just take a look at the radiator hose? I think it's busted.
It's your radiator hose. It's busted.
I know that. What'd I just tell you?
If you know so damn much, why didn't you just fix it yourself?
If I could do that, you think I'd be standin' here wastin' my time?
Can you fix it? Or do I have to go someplace else? Someplace else?
Bud, someplace else is 50 miles from here.
That old station downtown‒ that thing closed‒ must've been, God, three years ago.
Okay. I'm stuck. Ya happy? Now can you fix it or not?
- Yeah, I can fix it. - Great. Great.
I'll have to look through the yard here, see if I can't find a hose like that one.
It's gonna take a little time. How much time?
I don't know. You know, time.
What time is it now? About 20 after 10:00.
Arizona.
- Twenty after 10:00. It's gotta be 90 already. - It's 92.
What happened to your hand anyhow? An accident.
Accident? You got to be more careful, bud.
See, hands is important. Lemme show you somethin'.
Don't know if you can still see it. When I was a kid‒
Real interesting, but I-is there someplace in this dust bowl I can get somethin' to drink?
There's a diner down there. That ain't much. This way?
Us simple folk like it. You know.
I'll be back in a couple hours. Just be real careful with it, all right?
Hey! [Dog Howling]
- It's just a car. - No, it's not just a car.
It's '64-and-a-half Mustang convertible.

Come on, Jesse. I'm gonna take you for a walk.
I'll see ya later, unless I, uh, come across somethin' worse.
Hey, beautiful, can I give you a hand?
I'm just goin' to my car. Well, that's right on my way.
My mother told me never to accept offers from strangers.

I'm Bobby. See? Now we're not strangers. See how easy that was, beautiful?
Do you have to call me that? Well, I don't know your name.
Maybe I don't want you to.

It's Grace. Grace, can I carry your package?
Oh, geez. Sure you can manage?
Uh, yeah. Want me to carry your pack for you?
No. No. It's no trouble.
What happened to your hand?
An accident.
You should be more careful.
It's just some drapes and curtain rods.
Just got so tired of the old ones. Had 'em long as I can remember.
My mother made 'em.
Saw 'em and just knew I had to have 'em.
Ever see somethin' and just knew you had to have it?
Yes, I have.
This is it.
- Thank you, Bobby. - Ah, you're welcome, Grace.
You're not from around here, are you? I just drove in this morning.
My car overheated up the road.
Lucky it didn't happen out in the desert.
Day like today, you'd be dead in no time.
When are you leaving?
Not until I get my car back. Who knows how long that'll take?
And here I made you all hot and sweaty.
- Mornin', Grace. - Mornin', Sheriff.
Got my drapes. It's about time.
I see you got yourself a helper too.
Mornin', Sheriff.
Nice to meet you, son.
Same to you, Sheriff.
I could use some help gettin' these boxes in the house.
You could shower,

You're still lucky.
[Grace] Where are you coming from?
Oh, all over. Detroit, Chicago, Miami.
I gotta stop in Las Vegas. I got unfinished business there.
- So, what is it you do? - Whatever pays best.
A little bartending. Used to teach tennis.
Used to play some competitively.
I never played tennis.
- [Grunting] - [Man] Enough excuses.

Something.

But you're determined.
You're determined...
and you'll do what you must to get it.
You can tell all that by my face?
It tell me what every face tell me.
Everybody have a past.
They have pain, and they have something they want.
What is it you want?
The same thing you do.
Really?
I wanna hang drapes.
Can you hold me?
Tighter. I won't break.
There. Lift me down.
You could put me down now. I'm safe.
[Chuckles]
I'm tired of hangin' drapes.
Now what should we do?
Well, I got an idea.
What would that be?
All right, Grace, no more games.
And what game you wanna play?
You carry my boxes for me and I fall into bed with you?
I think I can find my own way back into town.
Maybe I like to know about a man first.
Maybe I like to find out what he's made of.
Thanks for the lemonade.
You still didn't answer my question.

What is it you want?
How do you put a price on murder?
Oh, well, uh, you know, I put it at, uh, $50,000,
minus your cut, of course‒ which is?
- Twenty. - Twenty thousand? [Chuckling] No.
No, no, no. I don't have that kind of money. I mean, you know,
I won't get the insurance until months after she's dead.
- How much can you get? - Oh, uh, maybe, uh, $10,000?
That's a maybe. I need thirteen.
Thirteen? [Sighs] That's a bit much.
We're not talkin' about buyin' a car, Jake. We're talkin' about killin' your wife.
Now it's 13 or it's nothin'.
[Clock Chiming]
Well, you drive a hard bargain.
But I had a feeling you were my boy when I first met ya.
Well, looks like we got ourselves a contract.
Do we shake hands?
Well, if you can't trust the man you've hired to kill your wife‒
Now here's the thing:
It's gotta look like an accident.
If it don't, it's no good.
'Cause I won't get a dime, and it'll be my neck that's on the choppin' block...
while you're livin' it up somewhere.
How do you want it?
It can't be done at the house.
It should be, uh‒ We should talk about some money up front.
[Laughing] Oh, sure.
Why don't I buy you a plane ticket right outta here while I'm at it?
Oh, I know you.
[Chuckling]
Here's what you do.
You go to the house to see her.
[Bobby] And tell her what? I don't know. Tell her you had to see her.
You know, sweet talk the woman.
A young buck like you must be good like that.
And then, maybe, shift the conversation,
get her thinkin' about that Jeep of hers, 'cause she loves that thing.
Maybe the only thing she does love.
She'll wanna take you for a ride out in the desert‒ someplace quiet, someplace deserted.
Ridin' through the red rocks and the mesas. She loves it out there.
So do I. I guess we got that in common.
There won't be anybody around for miles except the two of you—
except prairie dogs, that's all.
[Sighs] And then maybe, uh—
Well, you can sweet talk her a little if you like. It makes no difference to me.
Put her at ease. Make her feel relaxed. And then, uh,
do it.
You could leave him.
It's not that easy.
Walk away.
Maybe you can take chances.
You can wander around like some stray wherever you please.
I can't.
[Screeching]
I don't wanna be alone.
[Sighing] I wish I was a bird.
Some of the old people on the reservation...
used to think people could actually change into animals.
I wish I could.
If I was a bird, I would fly to Florida‒ Disney World.
[Bird Cawing]
I always wanted to go there.
And I'll fly to New York, maybe.
I'd fly to St. Louis and all over Texas.
Then I'd fly to California.
Then I guess I would've seen it all.
Then I could die.
They say you don't feel anything‒
that the shock kill you before you hit the ground.
I've always imagined it's just like flying.
[Woman Laughing]
Mmm.
I bet right now...
you don't know if you wanna kill me...
or fuck me.
[Sobbing, Murmuring]
[Grunting]
No! No, stop. I can't. Stop it.
Stop. No! I can't.
What's the matter, Grace?
- Nothing. - Doesn't feel like nothin'.
You should just get outta town, Bobby, quick as you can.
[Moans]
Don't do this to me, Grace. I've been fucked over by too many women.
You're becomin' the queen of hot and cold.
It's such a mess. With Jake, I mean.
There's nothin' I know more about than a mess.
Jake was with my mom... after my real father died.
Used to call me his little half-breed.
Kept my mom on the side, you know?
'Cause he had a wife someplace else.
He controlled me.
[Woman] You look so pretty.
[Whispering, Indistinct]
Would ya put your arms‒ Your head‒ No!
[Grace Gasping] [Jake] Don't fuck around on me like your mama.

You could dump me as soon as we get there. Grace. Grace.
I just wanna get outta here. I can't even get outta here.
I need 150 bucks to get my car back from that crazy mechanic.
Darrell? You know, he and Jake‒ Do you‒ Do you have money?
Jake never give me more than 20 bucks at a time.
If you could get money,
I'd get us outta here.
There's money.
A lot. Where?
Jake‒
he hides it...
in a safe in the bedroom in the floor.
My mom said there more than $100,000 in there.
In cash? There nothin' else with Jake.

Well, if it's in a safe, we need the combination.

Kill him.

They're cursed. They're cursed.
All the miners last century killed off the Indians at the mine.
Earth ran red with blood.
I seen some peculiar things on a hot day.
I seen a scorpion sting itself to death. A little killer killing itself.
I seen a coyote kill itself too. Bite and tear its own legs.
Nearly tore one clean off before it bled to death.
So, what a white man is gonna do‒
White man is gonna get himself killed just,
just... rubbing shoulders with another, you know.
You know. [Kissing Sounds] Kissy, kissy.
Nice little pussy. Little pussy there. You see it coming.
And that's gonna be the death of him.
Sure see a lot for a blind man.
Just 'cause I ain't got eyes don't mean I can't see. I can see pretty good.
That's 'cause we're all just eyes in the same head.
Everything is everything.
- What? - Everything is nothing too.
Yeah, well, maybe one day I'll have time to sit on a corner and spout wise.
Think you're gonna live that long, cocksuckin' motherfucker?
Everybody's got a mother. You know that?
Can't they understand you don't rip up the mother?
The Mother Earth. And you just take everything. It's like the Cracker Jack box.

You got something to do? Well, don't see me stopping you.
But ain't you got a little something for the infirmed?
I'm a little short today, old man. I'll catch you next time.
Ah. Your lies are old, but you tell them pretty good.
[Jenny] Hey, mister?
Patsy Cline. Hey.
Mister, I just wanted to thank you. For what?
For defendin' my honor this afternoon.
I hate to bust your bubble, but I wasn't defending your honor.
Yeah, but you was gonna fight for me. No.
I wasn't gonna fight for you. I was gonna beat the shit out of your boyfriend.
He ain't my boyfriend. I let him take me out and stuff, but I ain't spoken for.
Not yet, that is.
Get this through your head, little girl: I ain't goin' for ya.
And if this guy Toby likes you, marry him 'cause you're not gonna do better in this town.
Well, that's what I thought until you came ridin' in.
I saw your car over at the gas station. That's a cool car.
You wanna take me for a ride? Desert's kinda lonely this time of day.
I-I don't wanna take you for a ride.
I just want... Hey.
You don't have 150 bucks that I‒
- You wouldn't have 150 bucks that I‒ - Mister!
Oh, shit. That's right. You better be scared.
I told you it wasn't over. Now I find you sneakin' around with my girl behind my back!
I'm not sneakin' around with your girlfriend. Will you tell him?
What the fuck you doin', then? You're too late, Toby. We're gonna get in his fancy car...
and ride off and leave you behind. What are you talking about?
- What's your name, anyway? - That tears it, mister.
I'm gonna bust you up but good!
I'm-I'm gonna take you and break you up into a million pieces,
and take those pieces and break them in a million more!
You don't even know what you're dealin' with. I'm crazy! I'm psycho-crazy!
I know. You're T.N.T., and when you go off, somebody gets hurt.
That's right. Okay.
Toby Tucker, it don't matter to me if you beat him up and knock out all his teeth,
and he's just droolin' and bleedin' all over hisself,
'cause we love each other, and we're gonna run off, and I'm gonna have his love child!
Would you shut up! You're gonna pay for that, mister.
You're gonna pay. Come on.
- Toby! - Oh. Hey, Sheriff Potter.
Toby, I just come from your mama's place. She's worried sick about you.
Says she ain't seen you since this morning.
No, no, that-that just ain't true, Sheriff. I-I was just home for lunch.
Boy! I don't wanna see nothing but smoke comin' out of your ass on your way home.
Yes, sir. Come on, girl.

Oh, yeah. Just fine. Where you goin'?

So, how's the wife? That little Eskimo baby walkin' yet?
Yeah. Yeah, just fine.
Fine, huh? Yeah. Mm-hmm.
You haven't seen my wife, have you?
I'm lookin' for her.
No, I haven't seen her, Jake.
If I do, I'll sure tell her you're lookin' for her.
Yeah.
What you got there, some trash? [Snickering]
Kinda peculiar how things happen, ain't it?
I mean, a man's car breaks down.
There's a robbery. People get killed.
All that money.
[Chuckling]
Now‒
Now old Jake is out lookin' for his young wife.
Then you show up.
Time's runnin' out, son.
I'll be seein' you in the mornin'.
Hey, there, bud.
I was startin' to think you wasn't comin' back.
One of them days when you feel like you're running around in circles,
and you ain't no closer to where you was tryin' to get than when you started.
- You been there, huh? - Oh, hell, yeah.
When you feel like that,
don't think there's anything else you can do 'cept tough it out.
- You believe that? - You think bad, then bad's what you get.
That's a pretty decent philosophy you got there.
Well, no charge.
Hey, Darrell,
about the 150 bucks‒ Two hundred.
Next town I get to, I'll send it. I swear to God.
Two hundred. What?
You owe me $200.
This morning you said it was gonna run me $150 for the hose.
Well, yeah, for the hose. But when you left this mornin',
I had to replace a gasket and that's gonna run you another 50.
- Nobody said anything about replacing a gasket. - It was shot.
I don't give a fuck. I didn't tell you you could do it,
and you can't do unauthorized work.
So all of a sudden you know everything there is to know about being a mechanic.
Didn't you read the sign?
I can't do unauthorized work. What am I supposed to do,
let you drive out of here with a bad gasket?
Then you get in an accident and get killed... or worse.
And who do they blame? They blame me.
And there goes my reputation.
What reputation?
You're‒ You're just an ignorant,
inbred, tumbleweed hick!
Is that an insult? Are you insulting me?
Listen to me, you stupid fuck.
I will‒ You listen to me, goddamn it, you sorry son of a bitch!
You owe me money.
And this car ain't goin' no-goddamn-where till I get it.
Do you understand me? And if you take another five hours,
by God, I'll find another $50 worth of work to do on the son of a bitch.
Now you get your ass outta here before I call the sheriff, who knows me.
Oh! You wanna play?
I'll play with you. Come on.
I'll play with you. You wanna smash something? Huh?
- Here, I'll smash something. - Okay, okay.
Okay. Please.
What's the matter? All the fight gone out of you?
Just... leave my car alone.
It's too goddamn late. You pissed me off.
Goddamn it, you son of a bitch! You son of a bitch!
There you go sweet-talking me again.
Hey, Darrell, I-I'm gonna get you your money.
Let me... just get a couple of things out of my trunk. Okay?
No, you won't.
What did you do to my trunk?
I had to pop the lock. You didn't leave me no trunk key.
You had to get in the trunk?
When I work on a car, I work on a car, bud.

How do you think I got in here? Did you hear any glass break?
Did you hear any door shatter?
How'd the evening end, Jake? When you went to bed,

$200 and, I swear to God, I'll kill her.
Sweet Christ, get up.
I'd be doing the world a favor ridding it of the likes of you.
You're positively pathetic. Now, go kill Grace.
Go.
[Grace Screaming] [Crashing]
[Grace] Jake! Jake! Grace!
Grace. Grace. Grace!
Grace.
Well, is he‒
It looks like you got him.
You know, he-he‒ He must have slipped past me.
Looks like that drifter from this mornin'.
Why don't you put that down, Grace? It's all over now.
Put it down.
Oh, that's my Grace.
Not about to let someone get the best of her.
- That's what I love about you. - [Crow Cawing]
[Cawing]
[Grunting]
- [Glass Breaking] - [Grunting]
[Bobby] Grace!
[Bobby] Do something!
Help me, Grace.
Like you helped her?
[Screaming]
[Gasping]
Why'd you wait so long?
[Jake Choking]
- [Hammer Cocking] - No gun!
[Choking Continues]
[Choking Continues, Stops]
[Tomahawk Clatters On Floor]
[Panting] The money.
Get the key!
[Gasping]
[Cawing]
She was right. She was right.
Look at all this.
Look. Look.
There must be 150‒
$200,000 dollars.
[Laughing] Oh. Oh, yes!
[Laughing] Oh, baby!
Oh, baby. Oh, Grace, you were right.

[Woman Moaning]
Hello? Open up.
What do you want?
What the hell? I should've figured it was you.
Listen, bud, I'm a little busy tonight. I got a waitress comin' over.
What do you want? My car.
You got the money?
$200 in $100 bills. This mornin' you was flat broke.
That's none of your fucking business. Just get my keys. I don't want no dirty money.
- I run a clean business. - Get the keys.
Well, there's a $50 overnight storage charge that we gotta talk about.
Well, let's see.
There's the scratched hood‒ And how much did you make selling my gun?
Let's just deduct this. Keys.
Don't know nothin' about no gun. Of course not.
And Darrell, 40,000 people die every day.
How come you're not one of them?
Trunk.

Topped her off for you. No charge.
Darrell, I'm getting the hell out of this shit hole, and you're staying.
But one little peep out of you‒
And you remember, that gun makes you part of the food chain.
Your fingerprints are all over it. So I'd be real careful...
whose rectum I was pointing my finger up, if I was you.
"Left foot red."
No! No.
No! She did it. She fucking did it.
[Sobbing] You fucking did it. Bobby!
What's the matter?
[Laughing] Nothing. Nothing.
I stubbed my toe. It hurt like hell.
I got the money all packed.
I'll put the Jeep and his Caddy in the garage.
People'll think we went away. Buy us some time.
Good thinking. I know a back road we can take.
All right.
You know, funny thing. Jeep wouldn't start.
Had to push it in.
Funny thing.
[Howling]
Fuck you, Superior!
[Tires Screeching] Whoa!
I feel like someone took a million pounds off my shoulders.
Where should we go?
Hawaii. [Laughs]
I read about it. I dreamed about going there and... lying on the beach.
Letting the water...
lick up against my toes.
I'd kill to go there.
You already have.
I thought you'd left me back there.
What are you talking about? When I got back from the garage and the Jeep wasn't there,
I thought you'd left, taken off with the money.
I never had much luck with women.
The shit I've taken‒
I thought you were just like 'em.
When you came outta that house‒
Well, you're here.
We might be startin' in the shit, but we're startin' someplace I never been before.
Together with someone.
With you.
I love you, Bobby.
[Both Laughing]
We're gonna pull this off, Grace. [Laughs]
We're gonna pull this off!
[Grace] Oh, my God. Don't stop!
He doesn't know anything. He's just gonna give us a ticket...
- Keep going! He's gonna check the trunk. - Pull over, goddamn it!
- Shit. - Pull the fuck over!
[Bobby] He doesn't know anything.
[Tires Squealing]
Evening, Sheriff. Sorry about that little swerve back there.
A jackrabbit shot in front of me. I didn't want to spin around.
A jackrabbit. [Cocks Pistol] Whoa! Wait a minute!
You had to fuck him, didn't you? Huh?
Baby, I would never do that to you.
He killed Jake, and he said he'd kill me if I didn't come with him.
- All he wants is the money. - What?
- Don't lie to me! - Okay.
But he never made me come.
Really, Virgil, I was only doing what I had to do so we could be free.
Just like we talk about. It meant nothing.
You're fuckin' him too? Is everybody fucking everybody in this crazy goddamn town?
You find this guy, get him to do your dirty work, and you can take the money and dump me!
No, baby. You got it wrong.
This road don't go to Globe, Grace. Now, where is it you was gonna meet me?
It's not like that, Virgil. Look.
I got the money right here.
Right here.
I watched you fuck that pervert for years.
All the time you was tellin' me you loved me. What happened to us going to Milwaukee?
Gonna open up the finest sportin' goods store that city ever did see.
Just you and me, Grace. What happened?
Talk, talk. All you'd do was talk.
And all I'd do was sit around getting older waiting for you to free me!
You never did! He did!
This is some girl you and me got here, Bobby boy. Course, you have had a lot of practice.
Haven't you, darlin'? Goin' way back, just like your crazy mama!
Shut up, Virgil!
Just take your share of money and get outta here.
I don't want the fucking money!
It's you! It's you, Grace, or nothin'. The whole thing.
I want you to be my wife.
What do you say, Grace?
You sound just like Jake.
Just go back to your family. They love you!
Wait, we got more. There must be $200,000.
We split it three ways, and we all just walk.
I said shut up, boy! You don't know jack shit about what's goin' on around here!
- Virgil, stop! - Get the fuck back, Grace! Goddamn it, I'm tellin' you!
She tell you that story about wanting to be a little bird and fly away?
- [Grunts] - Was you gonna help her fly away, asshole?
- Virgil, stop it! - Grace, get back!
Did she tell you the story about how old Jake forced her to marry him?
That's a good'n, that one. And how he killed her crazy mother?
- [Bobby Groans] - Well, I bet I got a story that she didn't tell you.
And it's the best one of all. Right, baby?
- Virgil! - [Groaning]
- You see, old crazy Jake... - Virgil!
was really her papa.
No, Virgil!
And she liked fuckin' her papa.
Now she's killed that sumbitch, just like she's gonna kill you.
- No, you! - Ahh!
[Virgil Groaning]
Grace, no!
Shit.
Bobby, get the fuck up!
[Grace Moaning]
Aren't you gonna ask me?
Ask you what?
What kind of horrifying, sick shit is coming next?
Don't you really wanna know?
Was Jake my father? Was I fu‒
- What do you want me to say? - Yes, I was!
I was fucking my daddy!
And I married him! I married him! Okay?
[Sobbing]
I just wanted to be a kid.
And he took that from me.
They treated me like‒
like meat.
A piece of meat.
Fuck them! They fucked the whole town! They deserved to die!
[Bobby] Grab him further up. Bend your knees this way.
Wait. Ready?
[Grunting]
See ya, Virgil. God bless.
Is this bothering you?
My hand is bothering me, Grace.
[Grunts] Gotta burn this.
What do you think? Now that Jake's dead, got all the money, don't need ya no more?
Might just sneak up behind you one day and pop?
Don't you think I would have done it by now if I wanted to?
[Bird Calling]
Come on, baby. What can I do to make you feel more relaxed?
[Sighing]
Give me my gun back.
Why don't we just finish what we started?
What do you think happen to people's spirit when they die?
Nothing happens, Grace. They're dead meat. That's it.
You don't believe in anything, do you, Bobby?
I believe in this moment.
[Straining]
You wanna help me with him? He must be 300 pounds.
You hit me!
[Laughing]
You hit me, Bobby.
Motherfucker!
Well?
Well, nothing.
We dump Jake, split the money,
then you're on your own.
Don't leave me, Bobby. I wanna stay with you.
So the next cop pulls us over, you can sell me out again? I was just baiting him.
I had to tell him that. Just like you told Jake you was gonna kill me.
Try Mexico. With all that bread, you'd live like a queen.
I don't wanna go to Mexico, Bobby.
I wanna stay with you.
Don't you think I care about you?
I think you're a lying, backstabbing, psycho bitch!
And one day you'll kill me.
But it's nice to know you cared.
Come on. It's not such a bad thing we split.
Could be months before they find a body out here with all the mountain lions.
We gotta get the fuck outta Arizona.
Remember: no body, no crime.
First rule of evidence.
We can be in Phoenix by noon. Get rid of the car, get a new one.
You'll find somebody else. There's always hope with $100,000.
Hope's a four-letter word.
[Grunting] Hold him.
You make a pretty couple.
You should have been more careful, Jake.
See ya around.
[Screaming]
[Bird Calling] [Woman Laughing]
[Panting] Shit.
Grace, help!
Grace, help me!
Grace!
Oh, God! Please! Don't go, Grace!
Sorry I hit you!
Grace!
Bobby?
Thank you, Grace. Thank you. Can you make it back up?
I broke my leg!
Grace, in the trunk there's a tow rope!
Get the tow rope, tie it off. I think it'll make it down here.
Bobby, the trunk is locked! You have to throw the key up!
Bobby! I can't throw anything, Grace.
[Crying] I can't move!
You have to come down! It's the only way!
You can make it, Grace! Please help me!
[Sobbing]
Okay. I'm coming down.
[Grace] Just wait! Thank you.
I knew you couldn't leave me! We've been through too much together.
Grace, where are you? Grace!
I'm comin' down!
[Bobby] We'll go to Mexico! We're meant to be together!
Bobby, I can't do this alone!
You gotta pull yourself together!
I'm not gonna leave you!
I never wanted it to go down like this.
It was different with you, Bobby.
You had dreams like me.
We could still make this work.
I didn't wanna hurt you.
They're right here.
You know why else I can never leave you?
Why?
Because I love you, Grace.
- I love you. - I love you, Bobby.
I don't know whether to love you...
or kill you!
I love you, Grace, but I can't trust you.
- You're such a good‒ - Jake! Jake! Jake!
- Jake can't help you. - [Gasping]
[Gunshot]
[Groaning]
[Engine Starting, Revving]
You're still lucky.
- Adiós. - [Bird Cawing]
[Cawing]
Oh, shit!
