Cascade (2023) Movie Script

Won't do no fortune telling
No writing on my palms
Are you ready?
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
- Go, Vince!
- A raised jackknife, baby! Woo!
- All right.
I forgive your transgressions
For I know you are blind
Come on, Vince!
Woo! Let's go!
Go for it! Let's go!
Come on, Vincent!
Come on, jackknife! Let's go!
Woo!
Man!
I wanna kiss ya
Hey.
Amazing.
- Oh!
- Hey.
Come on, man.
Triple gainer. Let's go.
Perfect right here.
Thanks for the beer, though.
Hey, remember we used to
jump off Mercy Bridge as kids?
Now, that was fucking high.
This man, no fear.
Hmm, no fear, eh?
Still ain't afraid of
your little bitch ass.
- You wanna go?
- Yeah.
No.
Bring it, bitch!
Man, I'm gonna miss these nights.
Who says they have to end?
It's not like we have
any place better to be.
Well
I don't know about you cock-smokers,
but I for one do not plan on
sticking around this dump forever.
Are you sitting on some fat stacks
the rest of us don't know about?
Mm-hmm. Do tell.
I'm enlisting.
Be all you can be, fuckers.
Wait, sorry.
You in the army?
- No.
- God, I'm scared for us all.
Ah, ah, the armed forces.
And a paycheck, cool clothes, and a gun?
Sign me the fuck up.
Please, I can get all that
plus tips at my casino job.
There's no way you're being serious.
Deadly.
First thing Monday.
Hey, yo, you should sign up with me.
We could be like brothers in arms
and shit, or whatever.
These guns are for loving, okay?
- Not fighting.
- Right.
- Alex, is that true?
- I'm not that kinda girl.
Actually, Jesse has some
pretty amazing news.
I got hired at the new dealership
over on Parkland as a junior mechanic.
Nice. So what, we have to call you
Mr. Grease Monkey now?
They're even paying for him
to go for technician training.
I give it five months
before you're in the shit with me.
Making kills to pay the bills, baby.
No. Never.
Alex, do you have anything
that you care to share?
No.
No.
Hey, hey.
You should ask your dad
if they have a bring your kid to work day.
Hey, Vince, don't.
She can ride on the back of his hog
while he shakes people down.
- That was a pretty good idea.
- Yeah?
- Oh, she didn't like that one.
- No.
Fuck you, Vince.
Oh, come on.
It was a fucking joke.
Always gotta be the fucking asshole.
Always.
No sense of humor.
But you're my asshole.
Hey, now you have two.
Hey.
Forget Vince. You know how he gets.
I know.
It's just even the mention
of him pisses me off.
All parents are messed.
At least we have that to look forward to.
Ready? Come on.
Let's go! Come on!
Let's go, guys. Come on! We gotta move!
Let's go, soldiers.
Come on! Move!
Let's go.
Skip, I've got
an emergency on flight controls.
I'm coming down fast
I don't even know where I'm at.
I'm falling. I'm falling!
I'm in a spin and I can't hold it!
Mayday! Mayday!
Still nothing?
Murphy's fucking law.
It's been a good life that I've lived
All alone and miles of pain
Mine in the moonlight
And a body of sin
Put your fucking toys away.
It's been a good life
Lord, let me in
Yes, ma'am.
What'd Axe say, Skip?
I haven't called him yet.
Not exactly the kinda guy
you wanna keep waiting.
Shut the fuck up.
All of you.
He'll know when he needs to know.
We can't see shit out there
this time of night.
First light, we go.
- Get a life, little shit rats.
- Are you seriously gonna take that shit?
Just give him your finger.
I'll let it slide, man.
Seems like just yesterday
he was the little shit rat.
How come you haven't told Jesse
that you're going away for college?
'Cause it's not a sure thing.
- You're such a liar.
- It's not.
Besides, my mom would be all alone,
or she'd be alone with my dad,
which is infinitely worse.
And Jesse and I are still
figuring things out.
- Must be nice.
- What?
Just that when the universe
throws you a bone,
you don't swat it away like
some mangy cock in your face.
Okay, there's zero guarantee
I'd even get the scholarship.
You have to pass an interview.
I mean, it's
- It's like a whole big thing.
- Well, if it were me,
we wouldn't even be
having this conversation.
What kinda shakes do you want?
Yeah, they want vanilla.
Get out you, fucking perv.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Could you really see him joining the army?
I wouldn't put it passed him.
And it's one way out, right?
Yeah.
And who knows,
might even be good at it.
Fucking help me take these shakes. Here.
All right, come and get it.
Order up. 68.
Remember Bekka Burger as kids?
They were like twice this size.
Yeah, because you were
like half this size.
My mom actually used to work here
when she was our age.
Hmm. You think when old people say,
"In my day," they knew
when they were in their day?
What old people?
Old people.
They always say shit like, uh
"In my day
cars used to cost a nickel."
- You know?
- He's tripping.
Like us, in the future,
we'll say
"Hot dogs were made of pig lips and"
- Ew.
- "and assholes.
Not fucking space beans or whatever."
- Ew.
- That's really lovely. Thank you.
You mean are we gonna
rag on the next generation
the same way people do about us?
- Definitely.
- No.
Like, this is our day.
We're in it.
We need to do something epic.
We should go hike Migizi Falls.
Hiking? That is your idea of epic?
Yeah.
Fuck it.
Fuck it, I'm in.
- No.
- Fuck, yeah.
- Guys, no.
- One.
Guys, aren't the falls still off limits
'cause of Danny Hagel?
What's a Danny Hagel?
He was this older kid.
He went to our middle school
and he jumped the falls on a school trip.
Fat little fucker was found tits up
a mile down the river.
Vince.
- I heard it was a suicide.
- See?
Everybody remembers how he died.
But how'd he live?
Legend.
Is this your way of saying
you wanna jump the falls?
You know, the thought
never crossed my mind.
You know what? You guys have fun.
I'm gonna stay back.
My mom probably needs me
to help around the house.
Help around the house?
Hey, you're only young once.
Then you die a slow, sad death.
Break it to me gently
Let me down the easy way
You're pretty quiet.
Make me feel that you still love me
No reason.
Just for one more day
Do you ever think about leaving Clearview?
Why would I leave?
I know everybody bags on this place, but
everything I love is here.
Everything?
Everyone.
Why? Do you?
I don't know.
I mean, sure I I wonder.
But it's not like
a burning desire or anything.
Good.
Let me know if you change
your mind about tomorrow.
Okay.
Fuck.
You want me to go in with you?
Alex.
I'll be fine. Seriously.
Okay.
Oh, Alex, you're home.
I didn't hear you come in.
How was the bonfire?
It got rained out.
I'm really tired,
so I'm gonna go right to sleep, okay?
Okay, baby.
What? I don't get a hello?
You're back.
What's it been this time?
Like three whole months?
That's not a hello.
So, Nick, are you here on,
uh, business or pleasure?
Got a pretty big mouth to
go with your big brain, huh?
Leave her alone, Nick.
And it's "dad", not Nick.
I am your father.
- Don't forget that.
- Not like I haven't tried.
This might break your heart,
but blood is blood and blood is forever.
Please. The only reason
you keep mom around
is to make this place
your own personal stash house.
Picking up, dropping off.
Yeah? What do you know about that?
She may cater to your needs,
but we don't need anything from you.
Better watch your mouth.
Why don't you just take your shit
and get the fuck out?
- Take my shit?
- Yeah.
All of this is my shit! It's my house!
Because you're never here.
One day that mouth is gonna
get you in big trouble.
- Enough!
- You spoiled brat.
Spoiled?
Mom!
Are you happy? Look what you made me do.
Me?
I'm okay.
I'm all right.
Get your mother some ice.
- I'm fine. It was an accident.
- You okay, baby?
Just, everyone, please just relax.
- Mom.
- Mm-hmm.
This is what he brings into this house.
Okay. Um, why don't you
just go to bed, okay?
You need to straighten her out.
Yep?
Please.
Max, we got some complications.
- What kind of complications?
- He didn't make it.
I'm sleeping.
Alex, it's just me.
You okay?
I want him gone.
Alex
Mom, he just backhanded you
across the face.
He didn't mean to do that.
No, he meant to hit me.
No, he did not, but
did you really have to
push his buttons like that?
Tell him to go. Please, we don't need him.
I need my husband.
And like it or not,
you still need a father.
So, then why doesn't he need us?
Relationships are built on things
you go through together.
When are you gonna stop
letting him push you around?
Is that really all you see?
It's work. I gotta go.
Now? You just got here.
Something came up. I'll be back.
- All right.
- See you, baby. Soon.
I promise. Okay?
Hi.
I'm in for tomorrow.
In the window, I put a light
So you can find me
Let's move it, bro.
Oh, what? Are you gonna
get a car wash, too?
- Let's get a move on! Let's go!
- All right.
It is way too early for
the whole Vince-travaganza.
Suck it, Clearview!
Look for my sign
So you can find me
Follow my sign
Follow my sign
Let's do this.
Hello.
Bright and early this morning.
- Where you folks headed?
- Uh, nothing to declare, sir.
Sorry. We just came to do a bit of hiking,
maybe some camping
if the weather holds up.
Okay, if I can just get
your names for the register.
Yes, sir.
A few things to keep in mind
before you move ahead.
Stick to the clearly marked trails,
campsites are marked off on the map.
Just sign my name.
Flying of drones and drone photography
is strictly prohibited,
as is the use of firearms.
- All clear?
- Yes.
- Yes, sir.
- Good. All set.
Respect the rules of the park,
and stay out of the restricted areas.
- Can you see the falls from the river?
- Yeah, you sure can,
just follow the blue trail markers,
you'll find it no trouble.
Water table's a little high
because of the storm, so steer clear.
If you run into any trouble,
just head on over to the ranger station,
we'll sort you out.
Great. Thank you.
- Stay safe. Enjoy the park.
- Thank you.
That guy's definitely got
a huge dick or something.
Holy shit, man.
If you let me drive,
I can get us there a lot faster.
No, you are not driving. I swear to God.
My dad used to take me hunting here.
It's really easy to get lost.
What?
He wasn't always a criminal psychopath.
I had a childhood, you know.
It's just, we never really hear you
talk about him like that.
Yeah, well, didn't say
it was a long childhood.
All right, come on, seriously.
Give me the keys. Stop fucking around.
Okay.
Fine, but if you scratch it once
Then you'll have it
looking new in no time, all right?
So, don't worry about it.
Fucker.
And hey,
I'll take care of Gam-Gam's car,
all right now?
- You better.
- Oh, yeah.
Please don't kill us.
Don't be an idiot!
All right, buckle up, people.
Hi, there. How you folks doing today?
Coming to take in the sights?
Well, it's a beautiful day for it.
Woo!
Here you go, Bucko.
There's no service.
I'm over this already.
Epic.
Okay.
Welcome to Vince's
wild wilderness adventure!
Come on. Let's go!
- It's this way!
- Okay.
Hey, super trooper, you plan on
waiting for the rest of us?
Hold up!
You want us to go in there?
What's wrong?
Big "no entry" sign doesn't give it away?
That's for like animals and shit.
Yeah, but only for the ones that can read.
Hey, come here.
Okay, let's go. I got you.
Woo!
Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
- Come on.
- Step it up.
Hey, can we just
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Do you need water?
- No, it's okay.
Sure.
It's okay.
You can finish it.
Do you wanna go back?
Back in time, maybe.
I think I might be pregnant.
Whoa.
Like for real?
Like for real.
Well, did you take a test?
No, but I'm late.
Okay. But it could be something else.
You don't know for sure.
I'm supposed to go
to the doctor next week.
Don't suppose you'd come with me?
Me?
Yeah, of course, if you want. But
what about Vince?
He doesn't know and you can't tell him.
I'm serious. Swear.
I swear.
I don't know. Like, do I wait?
And now he says he wants to join the army.
The fucking army?
Yeah, he did say that.
And if I tell him, he's gonna think
I'm trying to trick him into staying.
Well
would you keep it?
I work part-time
as a coat check girl at the casino.
What do you think?
Hey!
Hey! You guys gotta see this.
Let's go.
Come on.
Woo!
- I told you it'd be epic!
- Holy shit!
This is fucking crazy!
I've never seen them from this high,
or this close. This is insane!
Jesse, you think I can make it?
Maybe if you grew wings.
You heard the ranger,
water's way deeper now.
Tell me you're fucking joking.
- Vince.
- Don't be stupid. You're not jumping.
Vince, you would never make it, okay?
Yeah, you'd die.
- Don't do it.
- Vince.
- Vince, stop.
- Vince!
- Vince!
- No, no, no. Don't do it.
Woo! Oh, shit!
All right. Yeah,
that's pretty fucking high.
Yeah, no shit.
Okay, cut it out.
- Vince!
- Fucking stop. Stop!
- Vince! Vince!
- No, no, no!
What the fuck?
Fuck!
- Vince?
- Vince!
Vince!
There's no way.
- Always playing games.
- He's just messing with us.
Well, he's an asshole.
Vince! Vince?
Vince!
Do you think he went in
and the current took him?
- No way he jumped the falls.
- Vince!
He better not be fucking around.
Vince!
- Vince!
- Vince!
Vince!
Vince! You scared the shit out of me!
Not fucking funny, man.
Where are you going?
Oh, my God!
Oh, nasty!
I think it's recent,
last night's storm maybe.
No, no, no, no, no.
You do not wanna go in there.
Yeah, we should call the cops
or tell the ranger.
I mean, maybe no one even knows
this is out here.
Normally, that's what
the transponder's for.
No. No power.
Shit.
Em, what are you doing?
Just in case someone asks.
It's morbid. He's dead.
Okay, geez.
Vince, man,
maybe you should get out of there.
I don't think we oughta
be touching any of this.
Fuck you.
I'm serious, man.
We gotta go tell the ranger.
Yeah, this doesn't feel right.
You think there's a reward?
Motherfucker.
Is that cocaine?
Only one way to know for sure.
What are you doing?
- You can't do that.
- Why not?
So many fucking reasons that should be
obvious to a normal human being.
Let's all just relax, okay? Alex is right.
We can't touch this.
Do you have any idea how much
one of these bricks are worth?
Enough to put each of us
away for a decade.
- Do you see cops?
- We're not drug dealers.
And what about the dead body?
I mean, that's a human being.
We'll make an anonymous call later.
Check it! This
This could set us up
for a real fucking long time.
It could literally change our lives.
Em, you're not actually considering this?
Not all of us are going away
to some fancy school.
School?
- What's she talking about?
- She didn't tell you?
She's leaving you, dude,
for some rich-ass college.
Is this for real?
No.
I mean, it's not for sure.
'Cause that's why I didn't tell you.
Without the scholarship
You can afford it now.
- If we were to do this...
- Em!
Was I talking to you?
How do we sell it?
Uh, Jesse's got a weed guy,
for sure there's a connection there.
- No, leave me outta this.
- You work at a casino.
And then there's always Alex's daddy.
Oh, do you want me to text him?
Or take a sample home
for Sunday night dinner?
You're all crazy! I'm going to the cops.
If you do, I'll tell them
he was the one who put us up to it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
What happens when he finds out?
Hey, man, back off, okay?
- Just give me...
- I said back the fuck up!
I'm taking mine!
If you call the cops,
I'll tell 'em about her daddy,
so they'll have to investigate
and puts her family under the microscope.
- You're a fucking asshole!
- So you keep telling me!
Em, take her backpack.
We get outta here,
we go our separate ways.
You forget you know us.
No problem there.
Go on.
Ninety-nine.
A hundred.
A hundred and one. No? Okay.
Hey, baldy.
That's our car.
You kids are out pretty far.
No one else around for miles.
We were hiking.
Swimming, too, by the looks of it.
Tell me,
what is so interesting up over that hill?
A waterfall.
Beautiful. Mm.
That all?
- Yeah.
- Nothing else?
More trees?
Look, buddy, we're on our way back
to the ranger station, so, uh,
could you get off our car?
Fucking keep your mouth shut.
Get the fuck out.
Come on.
We know we're in a restricted area,
we're sorry.
- If there's a fine...
- Shut the fuck up.
Jerry. You wanna come in?
What's up, Cutter? Where you at?
I'm up on that logging road.
North of the pass.
Found a couple of kids.
Say they've been hiking near Migizi Falls.
Yeah. I been searching
up and down that river like twice.
Well, maybe you missed something, Jerry,
because these kids
know more than they're saying.
Yeah, all right.
I'll be there in ten.
Copy that.
What's in the pack?
- Camping gear.
- Uh-oh.
You said you were hiking.
Hiking and camping.
Look, we don't want any trouble.
Honest, we were just hiking and...
How 'bout you cut the shit, thank you,
and you open the fucking bag.
How 'bout that?
What's the matter, sugar?
You scared?
What are you scared of?
Come here.
Leave her alone.
You weren't here to hike, were you?
Get the fuck away from her.
Vince, what are you doing?
Kid, I gotta hand it to you.
I've had a lot of guns pointed at me
in my life, but
never a flare gun.
Congrats.
How about you put that fucking
thing down before someone...
You have to hit him again.
We gotta go. Now!
Em, come on.
We can't help him now. Get in. Go!
I just smashed a man's skull with a rock.
Jesse, you saved us, okay?
Do you know where we're going?
The road we came from.
Is anybody even listening to me?
- I just smashed a man's skull.
- You saved us.
We have to go back.
What if Vince is just hurt?
We saw him get shot.
- He's dead.
- Alex, slow down.
- Don't say that!
- Slow down.
Look out!
Fuck, my leg. Ah, shit.
Fuck.
Em? Em? Emily!
I'm fine.
Hang on.
Okay. Easy.
Okay, show me your leg. Can you move it?
It's okay. Just breathe.
Is it bad?
Looks fucking bad.
No, you're gonna be okay. Just stay there.
Hold still.
Okay. Gonna hurt a little bit.
Sorry.
Em, are you okay?
Do I look fucking okay?
Look at me.
Okay.
How's the car?
Um
Hold on.
Jerry? Jerry, wanna call back?
Jerry?
Murph?
Fuck. Someone fucking answer.
Cutter, it's Murph. I heard gunshots.
One of those little fuckers
took a pop at me and fucked off.
They know where the plane is.
I found a couple bricks.
Anything from Jerry?
Nothing.
He should've cut them off at
the bottom of the logging road by now.
I'm still at the clearing.
You want I should go check it out?
No. I'll head down
and see what's going on
as soon as I can see straight.
Guys, we have to go on foot.
Can you stand?
- What about the pick-up?
- It's trashed.
Can't you fix it? Isn't that what you do?
There's no time! Didn't you hear?
Wait. The radio.
Maybe I can get
a emergency channel or something.
Mayday. Mayday. Anyone there?
- Mayday. Mayday.
- Jesse, we need to get off the main road.
And go where?
We're in the middle of nowhere.
We can't stay here
and wait for that maniac to show up.
Alex is right. We gotta keep moving.
Okay.
Okay.
We gotta keep going. Come on.
I can't, please.
Okay, okay.
Sorry.
Okay, my leg's numb. I think it's broken.
Let's not worry
about that right now, okay?
How bad?
It's it's bad.
All right. Keep still.
All right. That should help, okay?
- We gotta go.
- I just need a second.
- We're never gonna make it out.
- We'll make it.
Em's right.
You guys should go on without me.
- We're not leaving you.
- You mean like we left Vince?
- That was way different, okay?
- It doesn't matter!
You guys need to find the ranger
and bring him back here.
We don't even know where here is.
Vince was the one fucking driving!
The map! The map! Where's the map?
Vince had it in his backpack.
I ditched the bags when we ran.
They're still back there.
Ah, shit!
It's not far, okay?
I can run and be back in like 20 minutes.
Okay. Okay, go. Em and I will wait here.
Just whistle or something
in case you don't see us.
No, no, no! Just go!
Vince?
Vince.
Vince.
Police, fire or ambulance?
Police. Hi. Yeah, I need help.
I'm in Garden Valley.
Fuck.
Hello?
Hello?
Ah!
Climb down, or I start taking shots.
I got more ammo than time.
It's your choice.
Fine. Have it your way.
No, um, all right.
Don't shoot. I'm coming down, okay?
Smart girl.
We were just hiking. I swear.
Bullshit, we know you know
where the plane is.
Yes, but we found it by accident.
We really only came to hike the falls.
All right.
That's better.
Now, uh, which one are you?
- Your name?
- Alex.
Okay, Alex.
You're gonna take me to that plane,
and in return,
I'm gonna let you live. You understand?
I need you to say it out loud.
I'll take you to the crash site.
Just, please don't hurt me.
That's up to you.
How far is it?
Uh, it's close.
All right.
Start walking.
Murph, they killed Jerry.
- Looks like they ran off the road.
- Jesus.
All right, I'm here with one of the girls.
- She's taking me to the plane now.
- Good.
Radio me your location
as soon as you're there,
and no loose ends, you hear me?
Cutter, they're just kids, you know?
Well, they saw our faces
so they don't leave this forest.
Is that clear?
Murph?
Yeah. Copy that. Murph out.
Move.
I don't see a plane.
Hey! Better not be fucking around here.
Down there. It's around a sandbank.
I think you're lying!
I swear. That's how we found it.
I don't know another way.
Well, how do you get down?
Is there a path?
What the fuck!
Cutter, that crazy bitch
just jumped the falls.
Are you at the plane?
No, no, no, she was gonna
take me to the plane,
and then she jumped the fucking falls!
How 'bout you get
the fuck after her?
Get after her.
Get after her.
Okay.
Fuck that! Hell no!
Hey!
Hey! You trying to get yourself killed?
You gonna shoot me?
I don't see a plane!
Do it!
Fuck!
Cutter.
The current's too strong.
She must have drowned.
What about the plane?
Still no sign of it.
Well, I've got the other two, so
we'll know soon enough.
Copy that.
They aren't going
anywhere.
Need a little haircut?
Just one or two?
What about you, huh?
Just a hair or two.
Maybe.
- You're alive.
- Yeah.
No thanks to any of you.
But we looked for you.
Hmm, I bet you looked real fucking hard.
Where's Em And Jesse?
Jesse hit that asshole with a rock,
which only pissed him off, so we took off.
Got real far I see.
Jesse and Em are hiding down the road,
but I went back to get the map
and I ran into another one of them.
Oh, the map's gone,
along with everything else.
How'd you get away?
I jumped the falls.
Like for real?
- Like, like from the top top?
- Yeah.
You're fucking crazy.
Oh. Ow. Fuck.
Look, they're probably looking for me, so
Oh. You know, a please
or a thank you would be nice.
- You're such a dick.
- Love you, too.
Jesus!
A little warning next time.
Next dead body, promise.
Who are you?
That should hold.
What are you doing? Give me the keys.
Dream on, gimp.
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
What the fuck did you
think was gonna happen?
I saw an opportunity and I took it.
An opportunity for free drugs?
World doesn't work like that.
Yeah, well, my world
doesn't work your way.
At least you have options. Me, I'm
I'm another fucking
Danny Hagel waiting to happen.
That's not true.
- You really need to talk to Em.
- About what?
Whoa. Look.
Oh, fuck.
Yes!
Thank God you're here.
There are these guys.
They have guns. They're after us.
They're drug runners or something.
Whoa, slow down. Slowly.
We heard the gunshots.
We've already got patrols in the area.
You're safe.
What about Em and Jesse?
Yeah, they're our friends.
Emily and Jesse. Yeah, we know.
We picked them up a while back.
Yeah, we got them at the ranger station.
They're getting all patched up.
Come on. I'll take you to them.
I think you need a call for back up,
'cause these guys are killers.
We saw three of them,
but there could be more.
Oh, okay.
Hold on.
Yeah, I got the other two.
I'll contact you from
the ranger station. Over.
Copy that. Over.
You think you'd be able to
describe these guys if you saw 'em?
Absolutely.
One guy had some, uh...
Come on, rise and shine.
There she is.
You ready to talk?
Where am I?
You're alive.
Whether you stay that way is up to you.
My friends?
Where are my friends?
Cutter, missy here wants proof of life.
Copy that.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop!
Where's my plane, Alex?
Fine.
- I'll tell you.
- No, you'll take me.
And this time, we'll stay on dry land.
You make one sound,
I'll take one life.
We clear?
Crystal.
We're looking at
a lot of mudslides up there.
If you're coming up from the north,
I'd say you're looking
at a lot of detours.
And it's best to stay clear.
Hi there.
If you're looking for a day pass,
you're outta luck.
Park's closed for maintenance
on account of last night's storm.
I'm not here to sightsee.
Well, then,
what can I help you with?
I'm looking for Skip.
Hmm.
Don't know no Skip.
Something I can help you with?
Sir?
I was told I'd find Skip
at the ranger station.
Well, like I said,
nobody's been by all day
on account of last night's storm.
Trails are pretty washed out.
- Is that right?
- Afraid so.
But if your friend Skip shows up,
I'd be happy to give her a message.
I never said Skip was a her.
- Lucky guess.
- Yeah.
Hands on the counter, now.
Okay, we don't keep any money here.
Shut the hell up.
You bitch.
That's on you.
Nolan, come in.
Been waiting on you. What's the hold up?
Bit of a complication.
You stay put. I'm coming to you.
You had to be a rebel, huh?
We're going for a ride.
Keep moving.
You're so fucked.
Oh, is that so?
When my dad finds out
what you guys are doing,
he's gonna cut you up
into tiny little pieces.
Mm, that's precious.
Your daddy can't save you now.
You just killed a Saint.
Now you've one of their kids hostage.
I'm talking to a dead woman.
Nice bluff, kid.
I'll take my chances.
Get in.
Get in!
Nolan, come in.
Change of plans.
A Saint showed up.
Had to do what I had to do.
- Jesus Christ.
- Couldn't be helped.
- You had to?
- Now, this changes things.
I'd say that's a major
fucking understatement.
We can still get ahead of this.
Gotta move fast before more show up.
I'm on my way to the plane now.
I'll radio a location when I'm there.
And what about the kids?
You know, just keep them breathing.
After that, you can give them to Cutter.
Man, this is fucked up.
There's a way you can
still get out of this.
You take me to that plane,
I'll let you go.
Simple as that.
Maybe I'll even let
your little boyfriend keep his leg.
Hey!
This can hurt just as well as kill.
Do you understand me?
Good.
Now, where are we headed?
Just around the bend.
See how easy that was?
Shit!
I'm gonna fucking kill you!
Big mistake!
I'm gonna make it real slow
and painful for your friends.
First, I'll do missy.
And then I'll set your boyfriend on fire,
just a little bit at a time
until the forest fills with
the smell of burning flesh.
Tune in if you don't believe me.
It's up to you.
Cutter, don't lay a finger on those brats
'til you hear from me, are you clear?
Wouldn't dream of it.
- Leave him alone!
- What's the matter with you?
You feeling left out, huh?
- I'm pregnant!
- Hey!
You heard what Skip said.
They're just kids.
Yeah.
You're right. Little kiddies, huh?
This one smashed my fucking head in
with a fucking rock!
Hey. Hey.
You take orders from me,
not the other way around.
You understand?
You get that?
Yeah, I gotcha.
Good.
Hey, guys,
I'm feeling generous today.
So, tell you what.
I'm gonna let one of you
go free.
And the best part is,
you get to decide
who it is.
Or I can decide for you.
What do you say?
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
What are you doing?
Uh oh.
Cock it.
Em, he's lying. He's not gonna let you go.
I'm sorry.
No.
- I'm sorry.
- No.
Oh.
Please. Please, don't!
Oh.
At least we know
which one of you has balls.
How about another round, huh?
I don't know about you,
but I could do this all day.
Here. Take it again.
Quit fucking around, Cutter.
If the little bitch doesn't show up,
we're gonna need one of these two.
We're losing daylight here.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, well, this isn't over.
And I'm not leaving empty handed.
My money's on that
old mine dump, huh?
I say we send Murph out there again.
There's ten miles of bush-whacking
between here and the dump.
Fuck this.
The Saints are on the way,
it's getting dark.
Either she takes us
to the plane, or we're done.
We're done when I say we're done.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, shit.
Now, who's ready
for some fireworks, huh?
Fuck. No.
Oh, fuck.
Maybe then she'll talk, yeah?
No. No, no.
No. No, no, no. No.
Please! Please!
All the good times
Have passed and gone
All the good times are over
All the good times
Have passed and gone
Darling, don't you weep for me
Oh, don't you see
That passenger train
Coming around the bend
It's taking me away
From this lonesome hotel
Never to return again
All the good times
Have passed and gone
All the good times, oh
All the good times
Have passed and gone
Move and I cripple you for life.
Okay.
Okay.
I figured you'd be long gone by now.
That's wishful thinking.
- Try that again
- Fuck!
- I put a bullet in your ear.
- All right.
Fuck!
Yeah. Yeah. You are fucked,
'cause the Saints are coming
and no way they're gonna
let you live after you fucked up this bad.
Didn't realize you and the Saints
were so tight.
We are.
So what?
You really think they're gonna
trade me for your friends?
They'd sooner kill me
right along with you.
There's a way
we all get out of this alive,
provided you help me.
Why the fuck would I help you?
Because my guess is
you're in this for the pay day,
not to kill a bunch of kids.
We already know
what your life's worth to Skip.
Well, if it came down to them or me
It's definitely them.
You have no idea what you're up against.
Move.
Move!
Axe.
Still not getting through to Griz,
just his last text, that was it.
- Could be bad reception.
- Yeah, could be, could be.
Could be something else.
How do you wanna handle it?
You know, if you want
something done right
All right, boys.
Come in, kid.
I know you're out there.
Thirty seconds and I start
putting holes in people.
Looks like your little girlfriend
cut out and ran.
Fuck you!
I'd stay off that if I were you, huh.
You should see his face right now.
Any he last words for
your little fucking boy toy, hmm?
Or maybe he's not the one
you're worried about.
Alex, run! Do you hear me?
Enough.
There's our girl.
I'll take you to your drugs.
But first, you let Jesse and Em go.
Counteroffer.
I kill one.
You take us to the plane.
And then after that,
maybe I'll let the other one go.
The Saints are already on their way.
Adding a couple kids to your body count
will only make things worse.
Family's funny that way.
I'm listening.
Once they're on the main road,
I'll take you to the plane.
- I'll go.
- Not him.
What's the matter, sweetie?
You afraid of the big bad wolf, huh?
Come near me and I kill you!
Where's Murph?
He's off taking a piss.
Nolan'll go with you.
As soon as he sees the plane,
I'll let the others go.
Are you seriously gonna let a fucking kid
call the shots like this?
Cutter, shut the fuck up.
That wasn't the deal.
The best one you're gonna get.
Put Jesse on the radio.
Alex, you okay?
As soon as you can,
you get the hell out of there.
Do you understand me?
I'm I'm not leaving you.
Just do it.
I'll take the other guy.
Goddamn.
I kept up my end.
Tell Skip to let them go.
Not just yet.
Now, start tossing out bags.
I'm not playing around here.
Drop it.
Backstabbing little rat.
That's a compliment, coming from you.
This is taking too long.
Nolan?
Nolan, what's the hold up?
Skip, she's got it.
She's gonna burn it.
Nolan?
You're not the only one
who likes to play with matches.
Little bitch.
You touch Jesse or Em
and I burn it. All of it.
Let them go.
What the hell you talking about?
We don't need 'em,
besides they won't get far.
You heard her.
Let's go!
Get the fuck out. Come on!
Be seeing you real soon.
All right, they're gone.
Put my guy back on.
The plane's
at the bottom of the falls,
about 40 yards in behind a hidden bend.
Follow the logging road
till you come to your jeep.
Hey Skip, I'd hurry if I were you.
I just I just need a second.
Alex, are you there?
We're on the logging road.
Jesse's hurt really bad.
I don't know how much further
we can make it.
Em, I'm here.
Thank God.
About Vince, um
What? You're sorry?
Stay where you are, okay?
I'm gonna I'm gonna find you.
- Come on.
- Okay. Okay.
We're here.
This better not be some
kind of fucking trick.
Might wanna tell
your boy to keep still.
Murph found that out the hard way.
Don't move, Cutter.
Just stay put.
She can't cover us both.
Smart ass.
Drop it.
You're a tough little cunt, aren't ya?
Probably not tough...
You should probably stay off of that.
Good for you, kid.
Are you gonna finish me?
Think I just did.
Bam.
You fucker!
Oh, you fucking son of a bitch!
Fuck!
Let's go get Jesse and Em.
Don't worry.
They can't be too far.
You get what I asked for?
Shit. Fuck.
Both of you. Out.
Uh-uh! No!
Hi, Dad.
Hello.
These belong to you?
Let them go.
Hmm, thought we were negotiating here.
Your drugs and the others are waiting
for you about a quarter mile back.
Just follow the smoke.
Hmm. And him?
He helped me out.
I'm alive because of him.
No.
No, little girl,
you're alive because of me.
You know, I put up with a lot of shit
growing up, but I'm done.
- Watch it.
- Why? You gonna hit me?
Like you hit mom?
I bet you think the whole world
is pretty black and white,
don't you?
I'm willing to guess
there's a lot more of the old man in you
than you're willing to admit.
Maybe.
But just in case,
I uploaded a shit ton
of incriminating evidence
from Skip's phone to the Cloud.
Anything happens to us,
it all gets released.
You can go.
Next time,
get your boys to lock their phones.
No, no, no. Not him.
That's He was
He chose this,
and I'm not asking.
It's okay, Alex.
He's right.
See you around, Nick.
Let's go.
Leave him.
Oh.
I'll be seeing ya.
Probably.
Your transcripts
are clearly impeccable.
It's obvious you were
diligent in your studies.
Thank you.
But we like to get to know each candidate
on a more personal level.
It helps to give us a sense of
what kind of contribution
we can expect from our serious students.
Character counts.
Of course.
So, then, could you please tell us
about a time in your life
that best exemplifies a moment
where you had to overcome adversity,
and how that experience has gone on
to shape the person that you are today?
