A long time.

That's it. Let's go.
Azar, you first. Come on.
Just climb down.
(EXHALES)
What are you doing?
OFFICER: Put your hands up, David.
Put your hands up.
Your plan is not going to
work. You need to make a deal.
Oh, fuck.
What have you done?
Please, David, put your hands up.
You led him here.
I didn't have a choice.
We don't have a choice.
We need to surrender. It's
the only way to stay alive.
You lied.
You didn't escape him.
You've talked him around.
OFFICER: He'll fucking kill us.
If he doesn't, another like him
will come and finish the job.
You offered our lives to save yourself.
OFFICER: No. I'm trying
to save your life.
All of our lives.
Listen to me.
He doesn't want us.
He just wants Dianne.
- If we lead him to Dianne, maybe
- Dianne's dead!
He doesn't know that!
Enough. Enough.
I'm done listening to you.
OFFICER: Please, David.
I don't want to die.
I don't want you to die.
We can't beat him.
If we fight, we die. If we run, we die.
And it won't stop at us.
It won't stop with him.
That thing you found,
that thing in America.
They won't survive this either.
Get out the window.
Please, David.
Save yourself.
Save that person you
love. Make the deal.
Whatever he wants.
Get the fuck out.

(ZIP TIE ZIPS)
Get in.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
Fuck.
Fuck!
(CAR APPROACHING)
JOE: Psycho! Did you get him?
No!
He got away! Fuck!
The police are near. It's time to go.
Officer betrayed us.
- She led him to us.
- Uh-huh.
You knew.
SPECIALIST: She saw the
color of his eyes, okay?
You don't get close to a
predator like that and survive.
We should kill her.
She can't be trusted again.
No, but she was useful to you
once, and she can be useful again.
You have a plan.
Do you know what a quisling is?
No.
It's you.
You led him to us?
I had no choice.
Azar, not now!
- JOE: Azar!
- SPECIALIST: Stop!
JOE: We'll deal with her but not now.

What are you going to do to me?
Did you give up Doctor?
No. She was already
dead before he found me.
You tell him about my family?
I don't know about your family, David.
What could I say?
You don't seem sorry.
He was going to kill me.
I like you, David.
But you can't expect me to be
willing to die to protect you.
JOE: Watch her. I'll be back.
SPECIALIST: Occupied.
It's Muscle. Let me in.
Fuck!
SPECIALIST: Fucker shot me in the woods.
I got the bullet out.

You know how stupid I am?
So I just caught myself missing you.
JULES: I hate that I miss you.
I hate that I want to
hear your voice right now.
I hate it.
- JOE: Show me.
- (SPECIALIST MOANS IN PAIN)
Fuck.
Fuck.
How dare you tell me to be careful.
Like it would be my fault
if anything happened to us.
It's not my fault.
You did this. You came into our lives.
You made promises and
plans, and change everything.
JULES: Were you just using
us as a place to hide?
(MOANS) The fucker got me.
I didn't even feel it.
JOE: Press hard.
JULES: Maybe this thing
we have is just broken now.
Maybe it's all just another lie.
Just a trick you pulled on me.
Well, fuck you.
JULES: You made me
fall in love with you.
You made me believe
that you loved me too.
Was any of this real?
Any of it?
You're gonna be okay.
Promise.
We're gonna be okay.

That's it. I'm done.
