Love Lies Bleeding (2008)

[bunniefuu]

In the dream, it's late afternoon...

...and the shadows are growing long

across a rich, green lawn.

And we got us a big old house

with lots of trees...

...and there's a sprinkler

on the lawn.

And I'm swinging in a hammock...

...just drifting off

on a Sunday afternoon.

And you're sitting on a blanket

in the grass...

...drinking the coolest,

sweetest, ice-cold glass of limeade.

Not that powdered sh*t

they sell in cans. No.

Real limeade. Fresh squeezed.

With real sugar

and loaded with ice cubes.

And we got us a little boy

between us.

He's just about the most special

little boy this world's ever seen.

And there's big old

puffy clouds in the sky.

We got nowhere to go.

Nothing to do.

We're just sitting there,

talking about silly things.

About good times gone by.

Remembering all the places

we've been...

...and drawing up a list

of all the places we're gonna go.

I wanna go to Hawaii.

I wanna walk along the beach.

Drink pia coladas.

You'd be the prettiest girl

on that beach.

No doubt.

Duke, let's get married.

We're going to.

- Do you mean it?

- Of course I do.

When?

Just as soon

as we can get a little ahead.

- I love you, Duke.

- I love you too.

That's 19.22.

Fifteen, 16, 17, 18, 19.

Take that off, please.

Stay there.

- What are you looking at?

- My fiance's bicycle.

No way, man.

I got that thing behind K-Mart.

- You say it's yours?

- I said it's my fiance's.

Go ahead and take it.

It's locked.

Ah, man.

Anyone got a key?

Ricky's got the key.

He's down in Barstow.

Sorry, homey. Can't help you here.

You were in our place again.

You need to learn to respect

your neighbors, my friend.

That's how you show me respect?

Calling me a thief? And a liar?

- I just want the bike back.

- No problem. Come get it.

Oh, my God, what happened?

- Nothing.

- Baby, there's glass in it. Go sit down.

- Go on.

- I'm fine.

Go sit down.

So you went down there, didn't you?

I saw your bike chained up outside.

What did you want me to do?

Oh, sh*t.

Hold still.

- Does it hurt?

- No.

Did you pick up work today?

- Half day.

- Don't they need you back?

I got a interview tomorrow.

Office job.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Baby, that's great.

Why didn't you tell me anything?

- I did, as soon as you took a breath.

- Yeah, that's funny.

Imagine me, office job.

So you're not gonna tell them

you're on parole, right?

I'm not gonna tell them

unless they ask.

But if they ask, I gotta tell them.

You know, the landlord called

about rent again.

Oh, great. Well, did you tell him

we were robbed again?

Yes. And he said

he still has to pay the bank.

Well, how about he pays

for f*cking security?

Don't yell at me now, Duke, please.

Look, babe, I'm sorry.

I mean, I'm just frustrated.

I never even used

that old bike anyway.

- That's not the point.

- Let it go, Duke, please.

We have enough ugly in our lives.

You never wished me

happy birthday.

Oh, babe.

I'm sorry.

Happy birthday.

Hey, come on, don't do that.

I hate it when you do that.

Things are gonna be okay.

We're gonna have that little house...

...with the hammock and the grass

and all the rest, okay?

How, Duke?

How is that ever gonna happen?

I know it's hard to see sometimes.

You know what it's like?

It's like we're standing

on the bank of a river.

If we could just get to the other side,

things will be okay, you know?

And we will.

We will.

You remembered?

Duke, this is beautiful.

Happy birthday.

Oh, my God.

Try it on. Let's see.

- Wait a minute. We can't afford this.

- It was my mom's.

Oh, my God.

There are times, I swear...

...times when it all goes away.

Wrangle me up some fries, hang them

on the side of my car door?

You want chili cheese with those?

- How's your ulcer, Eddie?

- Like a scab that won't heal, man.

Ketchup will do, darling.

- Hey, boys.

- What's up?

Pollen.

Jesus, God, man.

You place me in good company.

Look, the money's close.

- Get me out, I'll get it back for you.

- Is that right?

Come on, Pollen,

I'm freezing my ba*ls off here.

I imagine that's true.

Come on, Pollen, we go way back.

You're talking to me about things

that are really of no interest.

Where is my money?

Okay, look, listen,

this is not my fault, okay?

I took the money to make the buy,

like you said.

That's what I did. Then these

punk kids show up with g*ns blazing.

Took the money and the dope.

Ripped me off.

Bernie, I wanna believe you, I do.

You don't have

a great history with the truth.

Not this time. I'm telling the truth.

Now you are about as jacked up

as I have ever seen you.

Makes me wonder where you got this

stuff because you didn't have cash.

Jimmy The Leg. Jimmy The Leg.

You could ask him.

He did a major score last night.

He gave me a little bit this morning,

just to, you know, calm my nerves.

It didn't take.

Give me your hands.

My hands?

Come on, just offer up your hands.

I need you

to offer me up your hands.

Come on, what are you doing?

I just need to be sure.

It's just a new polygraph thing

I'm working on, kind of old-school.

Now, offer me your hands.

Get his hands.

Hey, hey, hey, Pollen, hey, man.

Pollen, Pollen, I swear

I'm telling the f*cking truth, man.

Just calm down, all right?

I just wanna be sure, that's all.

Now, which one?

- What? What are you talking about?

- Do you want the right or the left?

- I'm telling the truth.

- Left or right?

- I'm telling you the truth.

- Right, or left?

- Pollen, don't do this.

- Right?

- No, no, no.

- Oh, man.

- Right, right!

- Tell us.

No, please, no.

I'm telling the f*cking truth, man.

I'm telling you the truth.

You know something?

I think I believe him.

He may be telling the truth.

- That's tender.

- Don't.

Now, where is my money?

Hey, what are you doing in here?

Get out of here, do you hear me?

Come on, get out of here.

Come on, leave.

Come on, holmes, come on.

Let's get out of here.

You can't take that. That is my...

- Who do you think you are, huh?

- I know who you are.

Sit your a*s down.

What's this?

- Fine a*s.

- Take the VCR.

See you.

They don't give a damn about us.

And they're never going to.

Duke, come on.

How many?

Five, maybe six.

g*ns?

Cap g*ns, cheap sh*t.

Eddie?

All set, brother, let's do it.

You'd better be here

when we get back.

Right here.

Hey, hey, hey, vatos.

Sit down.

- Eddie?

- Clear.

How the f*ck do you guys listen

to this sh*t?

This can go one of two ways. Fast.

That way you can get back

to broadening your horizons...

...via the video revolution. Or slow.

Which you won't enjoy,

but I guarantee you, I will.

- Now, where's my f*cking money?

- f*ck you.

There's one in every crowd.

Now, I'm trying to be patient here.

Who's your lieutenant?

You the man?

Okay. Where's my money?

What money? I ain't got no money.

I want you to imagine...

...you're staring into the eyes

of the devil himself.

And he's very pissed off.

Now, where is my f*cking money?

- There's your f*cking money.

- Thattaboy.

Now, open the bag.

- Open it.

- f*ck you, homey.

We don't have time

for this sh*t, man.

No, no, no.

We're gonna make sure

these sombreros...

...haven't spent any of our money.

Don't move.

That's my money.

Oh, thank God.

Where have you been?

Get packed.

Road clothes, but nice things

you don't wanna leave.

Because we're not coming back.

Hey, Duke.

What the hell happened here,

Pollen?

Everything went exactly

according to plan, Hendricks.

Yeah. Well, you know,

Eddie has certainly looked better.

Why don't we concentrate on how

we're gonna get that money back...

...in the evidence locker

by Monday morning?

Otherwise, this bonus

we so cleverly orchestrated...

...is gonna blow up

in all of our faces.

Three days. That's not much time.

Did you do that math

all by yourself?

You boys keep getting

smarter and smarter.

Why don't we concentrate

on finding out...

...where this little maggot

is going to burrow himself?

Twenty. That's another hundred.

There's a hundred in each stack

and there's 25 stacks.

Plus what we dipped into for the car.

We should eat something, babe.

No, I'm not hungry.

I'm scared. It's not our money.

- Not theirs either.

- But it's not ours.

Listen.

Every man has a moment in his life

when he needs to make a choice.

If he chooses right,

it's a moment of glory.

It's a good moment.

But if he chooses wrong,

then it's a moment of regret.

That won't go away.

I'm not saying I know what's

right or wrong in a situation like this.

It never happened to me.

But I do believe that you and me

deserve a little bit of luck for a change.

Come on, Pollen. Come on, man.

sh*t.

Hey, Bernie.

What did I do?

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.

What am I gonna do with you?

Come on. What did I do?

I heard g*nshots and I took off.

I know what you did.

I wanna know what you saw.

I didn't see sh*t.

- sh**t him in the arm.

- Oh, come on. Come on, guys.

- Please don't do this.

- An eye for an eye.

- Come on.

- Deep breath.

Good morning.

What time is it?

I guess almost 10.

Where are we?

We're about to cross out of Arizona.

Got a chance to be in Texas

for dinner.

- Where are we going, Duke?

- Far away.

I got something, boss.

You made me very happy.

- Cute couple.

- She's nice.

Yeah. Let's hope she's with him.

- Hey, beautiful.

- So, what's going on with the car?

Car's down for a couple days.

Fuel pump.

Well, let's buy another one.

I always wanted a car like this.

Well, what are we gonna do?

We are gonna get

a nice hotel room...

...rent a car...

...and then find a place

to have a real wedding.

What?

Let's get married.

- Married?

- Married.

Love bears all things...

...believes all things...

...hopes all things,

endures all things.

Love suffers long and is kind.

Love does not rejoice in inequity,

but rejoices in the truth.

Love never fails.

In the soul of man

lies faith, hope and love.

The greatest of these is love.

May I have the rings?

We forgot the rings.

- Is that okay?

- It's not what's on your finger, son.

It's what's in your heart.

By the power vested in me

by the state of New Mexico...

...and the Lord God above...

...I now pronounce you

man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

- I love you.

- I love you.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Thank you.

Come on.

Guy's an Army vet.

Did a tour of Iraq.

Honorable discharge.

Had a little trouble adapting

when he got back.

Three to five

for assaulting a federal officer.

Walked after two for good behavior.

DMV says they bought a car

with cash last night.

- Property marked the bills.

- And?

Guy who sold it said

they had a couple suitcases...

...got on the freeway headed east.

It's a bright orange '57 Chevy.

A bright orange '57 Chevy?

We'll never find them now.

We're never going back.

- Never?

- Never ever.

Then where?

Where love takes us.

- Wow, Duke, that is so...

- Romantic.

- Lame.

- I know.

Champagne, wife?

I like it when you call me wife.

I'd like to make a cheers.

- To what?

- To our new home.

And new life.

- That's really sweet. Cheers.

- Cheers.

Champagne's good.

Do you really think we're gonna get

a new life with this money, Duke?

I know we will. Things are different

from here on out, okay?

I promise.

Okay.

Luck has a way of finding a man

with money in his pocket.

All right, baby.

- That's for you.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome. Cheers, wife.

- Cheers. Cheers, husband.

- Let's do something.

- We are doing something.

No, I mean something special.

Something you always wanted to do.

You mean it?

- You let me win.

- No, I didn't.

- Do you swear?

- I swear.

But I've never beat you

at anything before.

Well, I guess

you just didn't know you could.

- Let's get something to eat.

- Okay.

What do you want?

- Cotton candy.

- Cotton candy?

Could we have two cotton candies?

- How much?

- A dollar.

A dollar? Here you go.

Keep the change.

Yeah, I know it may not

look like much now...

...but six months, a year from now,

this will be a veritable paradise.

We're gonna have green grass,

big old trees.

You know, we're very family

friendly here. You got any kidlets?

Someday.

Well, when you do decide

to procreate...

...this will be the place

you wanna be.

And of course now here,

you got the Jubilee.

You got a custom kitchen

with marble counters.

Comes with a spa out back

and three bedrooms and two baths.

And then of course

you get a list of materials...

...that your builder can use

to customize yours.

Wanna check out the hot tub?

- You kids married?

- Just.

Well, that's the best time, right after.

When they're still willing.

Well, you are a lucky man.

She is one hot tamale.

So if you ask me, dollar for dollar,

that, that is quite a value.

We could get those curtains

with the sunflowers on them.

- You like them?

- Of course you can customize...

...anything you'd like

to your personal taste.

- Duke, I really like it.

- You do?

- She really likes it.

- All right.

So, what sort of financing

you looking into?

We're gonna pay cash.

Is there some kind of problem

with that?

Look, just trust me, okay?

You wanna fill out

a application form.

- And I happen to have one, okay?

- No, no, no.

We wanna buy something outright,

in the low-100's...

...like it says on your sign out front.

That is a base price.

That doesn't cover the extras.

All right, well,

tell me about the extras.

Little lady, would you do me a favor?

Why don't you check out kitchen

styles in the book under the table?

- You'll find the extras.

- Okay.

How much more for extras?

I mean, what are we talking?

Amber.

Will you please step outside

for a second?

Duke.

Me and this gentleman

have something to talk about.

That's my wife you're looking at.

Well, you're one of them

jealous guys, ain't you?

Let me tell you something, son...

- What happened?

- Nothing. Let's go.

You sure you don't want me to go?

No, that's okay.

I'm just gonna get some Tums.

I'm still kind of queasy. Okay?

- You sure you're not mad at me?

- I promise.

- I don't mind driving you.

- No, you stay here and get some rest.

I don't want my husband falling

asleep on our honeymoon night.

Be back before you know it.

- Promise?

- Promise.

All right.

Now, look at her. Isn't she fine?

Isn't she beautiful?

She is beautiful.

And so are you.

Oh, thank you.

And I still want you to call me...

...the minute the doctor

finishes his checkup.

- Bye.

- Say, "Bye, Daddy. "

- Bye-bye, Daddy.

- Good girl.

Coming.

- Hello again.

- Good morning.

- Come on in.

- Thank you.

- Another celebration?

- A really special one.

- Where should I put it?

- Just leave it right here.

- Okay.

- I'll be right back.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, babe.

So I got one of everything

on the breakfast menu.

- You get crispy bacon?

- And crispy bacon.

And, baby,

I got something to tell you.

- Where did you put the duffel?

- It's right...

- Did you move it?

- No.

- sh*t. What did he look like?

- Who?

- The guy who brought the food.

- It was the same guy as yesterday.

sh*t. Look, get dressed

and pack our things.

- What did I do?

- Nothing. Just do it, okay?

- We gotta go now.

- Duke.

I love you.

- I love you too, okay?

- Okay, I'm sorry.

- We gotta go. Okay?

- Okay.

- Just be careful.

- I'll be back.

- Excuse me, miss.

- Hi.

I just ordered room service

and I'm on the 10th floor.

I forgot to give my waiter a tip.

Is he here?

- Tenth floor? I'm not sure.

- Red-haired kid?

That's Steve. I just saw him

in the kitchen a minute ago.

- Back there?

- Yeah.

Bet that hurts.

Now, where is my money?

Where is your dickhead boyfriend?

I don't know. I don't know.

She's got a nice a*s.

Come on.

Where is my f*cking money?

Get off me!

What?

He's gone.

- Gone?

- Yeah.

He left me and took your money.

He's no good.

You believe this f*cking b*tch?

Now, why would he leave

a fine piece of a*s like you, huh?

Because I'm pregnant, you as*h*le!

f*ck!

Ain't this grand?

Ain't this just my f*cking lucky day?

Well, it's the woman's station in life.

It's the shitty way of it. Nothing new.

It'll all be over soon, honey.

Now, just tell me

where you think he went, huh?

Where did he go?

Jesus. f*ck!

Up there.

Check this floor.

Tenth-floor stairwell.

Get some men above me.

sh*t. f*cking b*tch.

f*ck, where is she?

You don't understand.

He's trying to k*ll me.

Amber? Amber!

- They're trying to k*ll me.

- Listen, you need to...

Hey. Sam Pollen, DEA.

Step away from the girl.

No. He's not the police.

That woman

is wanted in connection...

...with a drug-related m*rder

in California.

We just tried to take her away,

she went ape sh*t. Look at my face.

Can I see that ID again?

You don't wanna do that.

We've got procedures.

Well, I'm well beyond giving a f*ck

about procedures.

Are you gonna show me that ID?

Now...

Come on!

Get your a*s back upstairs.

Did you hear me, b*tch?

Move your a*s.

I'm not going back in that room.

You're gonna have to k*ll me here.

Duke!

Oh, my God.

Oh, baby, you scared me.

Are you okay?

Tell me what happened.

Who did this?

- He's a cop.

- A cop?

- What do you mean, a cop?

- And he wants the money.

Baby, come on, we gotta go.

Baby, come on.

Are you okay?

f*ck. We gotta go.

You and your stupid procedure.

Jeez.

f*cking...

- Freeze, right there!

- Whoa, easy, easy, easy.

Drug Enforcement Agency.

Got it?

We're looking for two suspects.

Male, Caucasian, mid-20s,

brown hair, blue eyes.

The female is 5'5",

They're both wanted

for m*rder in California.

They're both armed and dangerous.

One of them just popped this guy.

So, what are we gonna do?

I don't know yet. Come on.

Ma'am, today is your lucky day.

Baby, we gotta go.

I don't know if I can do this.

Sure you can. You're gonna walk right

through that lobby and right to the car.

- You're not going with me?

- They're looking for us together, okay?

We have a better chance

of getting out of here if we split up.

You're just gonna walk right to the car

and come around back, pick me up.

I promise I'll never leave you again.

We gotta go.

- Wait.

- What?

I'm pregnant.

- What?

- I'm pregnant.

- You're pregnant?

- Yeah.

We're gonna have a baby?

Come here. Oh, my God,

this is the best day of my life.

Wow, how long have you known?

Well, for sure,

since I got back last night.

Oh, man.

- We can't die now, Duke.

- We're not gonna die.

But we're gonna have

one hell of a story to tell.

Hey, we're looking for a young couple,

mid-20s.

sh*t! f*cking m*therf*cking b*tch.

You! Come on! Come on.

Got some ID?

It's out in my car.

What happened here?

Couple of Bonnie-and-Clyde types

shot a casino employee upstairs.

They're wanted

for m*rder in California.

Wow, that's bad.

Do you need me to get my ID?

No, it's okay.

Hey.

You don't have to put up with that.

There's a women's shelter

that can help you.

Thanks.

Next.

Did you see a young couple

come through here?

- The girl's wearing a maid's uniform.

- Every maid has been through here.

This uniform

is about three sizes too big.

She's a cute little thing

with a black eye.

Oh, God. Oh, baby. We made it.

Go, go, go.

Go, come on!

The cop at the casino said

we're wanted for m*rder.

I hid the money.

Just in case he catches up with us.

The money's the only leverage

we're gonna have.

We gotta get off at this main road.

Find a place to hide out for a while.

We could stay here till dark.

Even if they put a helicopter out,

they wouldn't find us here.

So once again,

the girl pulls out her weapon...

...fires off two shots,

just misses me and my partner...

...down goes

the hotel security guard.

Next thing I know,

the dude comes charging in...

...pulls her out,

and they're both gone.

That's it.

- Okay. I think that's it.

- Yeah.

Look, I know it's been a long day.

Appreciate your cooperation, huh?

You just hang tight a bit.

It matches his earlier statement.

I believe it was a good sh**t.

He's calm as a clam at high tide.

What the f*ck

is that supposed to mean?

Language, Billy.

High tide, a clam is buried, sleeping,

not a care in the world.

- I grew up on the coast.

- Yeah, I still don't see your point.

Do you remember

when we had that standoff...

...the barricaded guy in Santa Fe?

No shot was fired, but you and I both

were shaky for three days.

I wouldn't say shaky.

This guy expels nine rounds

on a public stairwell.

Bodies, blood scattered everywhere.

He's not even asking for a cigarette.

- Maybe he doesn't smoke.

- He smokes, all right. I read his file.

So who are these kids

he's implementing?

Implicating.

Who are these kids

he's implicating?

These, Billy, are questions you and I

will pursue with due diligence.

So, what room do you think

this is gonna be?

Living room.

It's gonna be a pretty house.

Yeah, it will be.

I just felt him.

You can't feel him yet, Duke.

No, no, I felt him.

You're gonna be a great dad.

What did you get?

I verified that she was

a checker in a store...

...in some desert dump

called Round Rock.

Been there six years, no record.

And he was an Iraq w*r veteran

and a parolee.

- What did he do?

- as*ault.

Federal marshals were closing

this nursing home...

...throwing a bunch of old folks out

with typical government tact.

His mom was one of them.

So she goes into cardiac arrest,

he loses his temper.

He gets the long end of the stick

because the guy he beat up was a fed.

Any lawyer with a good haircut

would've got him probation.

Well, lawyers with good haircuts

cost money.

Yeah, I know. Something stinks.

So I guess we think it's a boy, right?

I don't know. Do we?

Well, we keep calling him "him. "

Yeah, I guess we do, don't we?

Maybe we should start thinking

of some names for him.

Well, what if it's a girl?

I think it's a boy.

It feels like a boy.

Joe.

I always liked that name, Joe.

That was my daddy's name.

You knew.

Yeah, I did.

This isn't fair, Duke.

Yeah, I know.

Sometimes it seems that way.

We've come this far.

We finally have

a little one on the way and...

Hey.

I'm gonna take care of this, okay?

I promise.

I understand you're gonna

stick around for a while.

Hopefully only for a couple of days.

Just until we find them.

Well, our captain's

put both choppers out.

No sign of them.

Feels like maybe they've moved on.

Oh, no, they're still around.

How can you be so sure?

I'm a cop.

Seems like you might be

a bit of a gambler too.

Well, from time to time.

Well, we have ourselves a new casino

out by the freeway. Indian.

Thanks for the tip.

Maybe I'll check it out.

Can I get you something?

No. I don't wanna spoil my lunch.

Suit yourself.

One more thing.

What is it, detective?

This couple

you know so much about...

...who allegedly shot up a meth g*ng

in California.

And a couple of my partners.

Ballistics say the slugs

came from a weapon...

...confiscated in a DEA drug bust

in Palmdale two years ago.

Isn't that interesting?

Makes you wonder how those

weapons got out of DEA lockup.

Well, aren't you an inquisitive lady?

Not ordinarily.

Normally, if I was to hear

that a few gangbangers bought it...

...I'd figure, what the hell,

good riddance to bad rubbish.

But when you learn

that things go missing...

...from inside a law-enforcement

agency, that just wets my whistle.

Because I know someone's gambling

in the big leagues...

...crossing the kinds of lines

that foul our reputation as lawmen.

And generally steals

the pride from my life.

Drives me f*cking crazy.

There you go. See, started cursing.

And I can't help but start to wonder,

do I know any desperate men?

The world's full of them.

You should get that cut looked at.

I think it's infected.

In the dream, it's late afternoon...

...and the shadows are growing long

across a rich, green lawn.

And we got us a big old house

with lots of trees...

...and there's a sprinkler

on the lawn.

And I'm swinging in a hammock...

...just drifting off

on a Sunday afternoon.

And you're sitting on a blanket

in the grass...

...drinking the coolest, sweetest,

ice-cold glass of limeade.

Not that powdered sh*t

they sell in cans.

No. Real limeade.

Fresh squeezed, with real sugar

and loaded with ice cubes.

And we got us a little boy

between us.

He's just about the most special

little boy this world's ever seen.

It's a sunny day, and there's

big old puffy clouds in the sky.

Where is my f*cking money?

Where is my f*cking money?

Duke. Wake up.

We have to give it back.

- What?

- The money.

Not the money we won, the money

from that cop. It's dirty money.

There's no good

that's ever gonna come from it.

Duke. Duke, no, no, please.

That's the only way

we're ever gonna be free of this.

Well, we can't get the money tonight.

The cops will still be there.

We have to find a place to stay,

just for the night. Okay?

I'm scared, Duke.

Me too, baby. Me too.

Yeah, I'm trying to locate

one of your agents.

Pollen's his name.

Yeah, it's an emergency.

Yeah?

Oh, put him through.

That is a proposition

that interests me.

Hey.

Well, that is true.

So you're just gonna hand it over...

...and we all walk away

and live happily ever after?

We'll be happy enough

if we never see your face again.

You must think I'm the stupidest man

on the face of the earth.

- You want the money or not?

- Oh, I definitely want the money.

I just am having a hard time

believing...

...that the guy who stole it is just

gonna hand it over and walk away.

That's what we're offering.

All right, then.

I'll meet you in a half-hour.

I already told you, we're not planning

on seeing you again.

Don't f*ck with me on this,

all right?

There's an overpass

five miles east of town.

The money will be there

after 7 tonight. No sooner.

What, it's not there now?

I said, after 7 tonight.

A man can see in two miles

in any direction on that overpass.

I'll know if you're waiting.

The guy's a loser, Pollen.

I think he just wants out.

Are you willing to bet your career

on that? I didn't think so.

What are we gonna do?

He's calling the shots.

The dumb son of a b*tch

doesn't have the money.

- What are you talking about?

- If he had the money...

...he would've put it out on the bridge

before he called.

Explains how he got out of the hotel

without anybody noticing.

He hid the money.

Which means

he's got to go and get it.

Be careful.

It must have been him

on the phone with Pollen.

So it would seem, detective.

So it would seem.

Well, what the f*ck is this?

Oh, come on, come on.

Don't screw this up.

Is that one of ours?

Can't be.

f*ck!

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I'm just waiting for my husband.

He went across the street

to the casino.

He's a gambler, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah. Breaks up a lot of families.

Yeah.

f*ck!

f*cking local yokels.

Okay, well, your lights are on.

What?

Your headlights, they're on.

That's why I stopped.

Well, thank you. I'll turn them off.

- You have a nice day, okay?

- Thank you.

Just get back in your car.

There you go. Keep on moving.

What do you make of that?

Dumb son of a b*tch lost the money.

- The money's gone.

- What do you mean it's gone?

I mean it's gone. Like somebody

took it. I don't know who.

Who would have seen you

go into the bushes?

- I don't know, Amber. I don't know.

- sh*t.

Why doesn't he just arrest them?

That, my friend,

is a curious question.

Why don't we just arrest them?

Patience, Billy. Patience.

He's gonna think we lied. He's gonna

come looking for the money.

We gotta get out of here.

We gotta leave, right now.

You're right.

What?

I'll be right back.

Maybe he's not as dumb

as I thought he was.

I don't know. Those kids

don't look so dangerous to me.

Me neither.

- So, what do you think is going on?

- I don't know, Billy.

But I don't think our DEA friend

is telling us the truth.

Number nine is wrong.

Are you sure?

f*ck.

Do you have to curse all the time?

- One of them quit.

- What?

One of the gardeners quit

yesterday afternoon.

But that doesn't mean he's the guy

that would've taken the...

It's all we got, Amber.

If it isn't this guy, we're gonna have

to keep coming back until we find him.

It's all we got.

So that's it?

That's it.

Be careful.

I will.

I'll be right back.

You don't wanna be part of this.

Come on, man, we could split it.

No, we can't.

Fifty-fifty. Both go our own way.

You're not hearing me.

Now give it to me.

He leaves her alone in that car

another minute...

...I'm gonna finish what I started.

It's gotta be something with drugs.

These kids don't seem like

the druggie type to me.

Meth. They got a lot of meth

in trailer parks.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Saw it on CSI.

- You got kids?

- Got four kids.

I'm gonna be a dad.

You're the first person

I told that to.

Here.

Get your job back at the hotel.

This boy's better than a bird dog.

Yeah.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Okay. Let's go.

We're gonna take them out now?

No, let's let them

get out a little further.

Bingo.

So we're done, then, right?

We're just gonna leave them what we

took and we're gonna keep the rest.

- Right?

- Yep, that's it, we're done.

Once we get rid of that money,

we're free.

sh*t. It's almost 7.

We got time.

It's only 10 minutes from here.

- Sure we're doing the right thing?

- Yeah, we're doing the right thing.

We're gonna get through this,

have some money in our pockets.

We're gonna actually have a chance

to start something.

Something new.

Okay.

What?

sh*t. What are we gonna do?

We're gonna do

what we said we were gonna do.

We're gonna drop the money off,

and we're gonna be fine.

Oh, my God.

Think he sees us?

I think he knows we're here.

All right, let's drive into town,

get some help.

He's a cop, and we're carrying money

he's gonna say we stole.

Who do you think

they're gonna believe, us or him?

All right, let's hit him with this.

- Popped the cherry.

- What are you doing?

- Calling for backup.

- Who are we backing up?

I've dealt with men like this before.

You just can't walk away from them.

You have to tell them.

And if he doesn't listen...

...I'll have to show him.

Otherwise, we're gonna spend the rest

of our lives looking over our shoulders.

There's no more

looking over our shoulders.

Not with a baby between us.

Okay? Hold on.

Damn it!

sh*t! Damn it!

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Here.

- Thanks.

What the f*ck?

Here.

Come on.

Come on.

Jesus Christ, it's hot as hell.

Okay.

You think that'll do it?

That'll do it.

Okay, as soon as we hear

them come in...

...you go out around back

and get in the car.

If I'm not out in 10 minutes, you take

the money and go to someplace far.

No, I won't.

I won't go without you, Duke.

Yes, you will.

Amber, listen to me. You have to.

You stay here

in case they decide to double back.

Come on out!

- I love you.

- I love you.

Let's do this, kids.

f*ck.

Over here.

At last.

Do you know how many gray hairs

you've given me...

...over the last three days?

I should k*ll you just for that.

There's your money.

We were gonna put it

right where we said we would.

Go on, count it if you want.

It's all there.

Thank you.

Did you talk to anyone about me?

Nope.

Of course, if you did, I wouldn't know

about it until it was too late, right?

I give you my word.

Your word? Oh, that's good.

- That's good.

- I never had a problem with you.

Those bangers you took up with...

...they're the ones

who made our lives hell.

I imagine they could.

Yeah, they took things from us.

Hit my wife.

Had no respect for anything good.

You took something from me.

And there it is.

So you're just a young man

looking for closure, huh?

That's it. I just wanna go.

Okay. Come on, come on, come on.

You didn't really think

it was gonna be that easy?

I don't want any trouble.

Wouldn't that be nice if there were

no more trouble?

Take the money.

You'll never see us again.

I can pretty much

guarantee you that.

- That you, Gault?

- Yeah, here.

This one's a wild thing.

- Amber?

- Thought you might need this.

- Amber, are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Shut up.

- Hey, take it easy.

Hey, it's me you want, not her.

I took your f*cking money.

I need to be sure you haven't

talked to anybody about me.

I'm funny that way.

Who knows?

I might have to k*ll somebody else.

Why don't you hang her up

over there...

...and then keep an eye on him?

- Good idea.

- Got him?

- Got him.

What I've learned

in my years of experience...

...the best way

to get the truth out of a man...

...is to first t*rture his woman

right in front of him.

No! Duke!

Looks like it's just you and me,

princess.

I've missed you.

I know how much

you love to play rough.

Hey! Leave her alone.

Backup! Ambulance! Call now!

I'm so sick of you!

You little pain in the a*s,

where the hell are you?

Where are you?

You son of a b*tch.

Come on.

- This is what you want? Come on.

- Go. Go.

Go!

Oh, yeah?

Get up.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, get over here.

Get over here.

I'll k*ll you. I'll k*ll you.

Get away from him!

Who you trying to kid, girlie?

Just drop the g*n, b*tch.

Baby.

Look at me.

I love you.

Baby.

You're gonna be okay.

I'm sorry.

I chose wrong.

No. No, don't you say that.

You're gonna take care of our boy.

No, don't die.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Oh, Duke, no.

Don't.

It's late afternoon

and the shadows are growing...

...three-quarters of the way

across the green lawn.

And we have a big old house.

And it's real quiet.

And we all sit together...

...drinking the coolest, sweetest,

ice-cold glass of limeade.

Not the powdered stuff

they sell in cans.

Real limeade, squeezed fresh...

...with real sugar

and loaded with lots of ice cubes.

And your daddy always said

we'd have a little boy between us.

And I'd say

that you'd just about be...

...the most special little boy

the world's ever seen.

And you know

we have nowhere to go.

And it's sunny.

Big old puffy clouds.

And we just sit there,

and we'll talk about silly things...

...good times gone by

and good times to come.
