JOE: Listen, we're all in

danger. We're being hunted down.

I need to ask you about Brain.

We need to know what you know.

(g*nshots)

JOE: On the job, you

were in the other car.

Where did you go? Where did Dianne

go? She was in the car with you.

She never made it to

the car. She was k*lled.

- (SPECIALIST PANTING)

JOE: Let's go. Azar, you first.

- You led him here.

- If we lead him to Dianne, maybe

(SHOUTS) Dianne's dead!

- You led him to us?

- I had no choice.

(GASPS)

- JOE: You don't seem sorry.

- OFFICER: I like you, David.

But you can't expect me to be

willing to die to protect you.

I can be an asset to

you. I can help you.

Whatever you want. Just tell me, please.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

David, let me go. Please.

If he finds me here

- Why do you even want me here?

- Just move.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah. Never better.

Just hold on, all right?

I need to get my bag.

Forget your bag. She'll die

if you don't stop the bleeding.

There's eight grand in my bag and a g*n.

Why are we talking? Get the bag.

- What are you doing, David? No, no. David.

- (ZIP TIE ZIPS)

Okay, we need to steal a car. Can

you do that while I deal with this?

And don't cut her free.

We'll fix you up.

- Okay.

Come on.

- Sorry.

- MAN: It's all right.

JULES (ON VOICEMAIL): God, Joe.

You know how stupid I am?

I just caught myself missing you.

I hate that I miss you.

I hate that I want to

hear your voice right now.

I hate it.

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.

They can trace it.

There's a burner in the

bag that I put in the trunk.

My number is saved on it already.

You call me when you get to the border.

- JULES: The border?

- JOE: You can't go home.

You're going to Canada to hide out.

I can't do this, Joe.

JOE: You can. You can.

You're doing great.

Now turn on the GPS. There's

an address called Still Here.

You need to go there. Make

sure you're not followed.

Daddy, where are we going?

Joe.

I'm sorry.

JULES: They sh*t at us.

I'm sorry, Jules.

Officer.

And you believe her?

It's not out of character.

The g*n, please.

Thank you.

It wasn't like a "lion" lion.

You know (IMITATES LION'S ROAR)

It was a mountain lion.

Oh, gosh, she was beautiful, though.

I didn't want to have to k*ll her.

I just didn't want to die.

- OFFICER: We've had a report of g*nf*re.

This building is now a crime scene.

COMMANDER: We are private

security, and this is our building.

- We need access now. This is an emergency.

- That's impossible.

There are firearms officers

inside the building,

so I'm just gonna need

you all to stay back

on the other side of my vehicle!

- COMMANDER: We need to get inside there.

- Listen

All right? I cannot let

you do that, all right?

Now, if I could just

take everyone's names

If there's been a sh**ting, this

place should be crawling with cops.

There are there

OFFICER: David. David,

please. Let me go.

Just let me go and I will disappear.

How'd it work?

Your deal.

Is he tracking your phone?

If I turn this on, is

he going to see us here?

No. I sent him messages.

What messages?

Maps.

I posted screenshots

to an anonymous account.

I had no choice.

So you keep saying.

Why are you even talking to her?

She's going to get us all k*lled.

- We're safer if she's dead.

- Maybe.

JOE: Maybe.

But first, we need her.

OFFICER: For what?

Dianne's dead, so we need to

find out who hired this k*ller.

- So let's meet him and ask him.

- OFFICER: What?

We send him this and we set a trap.

With one of us as bait.

No, no. That is a very bad idea.

I'll do it.

AZAR: I'll be bait.

- What? I want to help.

- Are you sure?

What do I have to do?

We'd be out in the open.

I'll be hiding nearby. He shows himself.

And we disable him, restrain him.

We bring him back here and

and we get him to talk.

OFFICER: This is crazy!

He is a professional k*ller!

You don't even have a w*apon!

David, please. He will k*ll you.

Then he will k*ll the rest of us!

JOE: Okay.

David.

Don't make me force you.

Muscle. I have a place

for when I work in

London and it's not far.

And it's got g*ns.

Why would you do that?

We had the upper hand.

For the first time, we

I mean, f*ck.

We had a f*cking plan,

Azar. We had a plan.

You had a plan. I had a different plan.

He took everything from me.

Everything.

No, the people who sent him did that.

It's them you want and

he can lead us to them.

You saw what he did to my grandfather.

That was him.

k*lling him won't help.

Because once you start,

you have to k*ll everyone.

Everyone in the chain and

Azar, that's not possible.

I can try.

You have to find a way, Azar.

A way to get through this.

Without losing yourself to it.

Doesn't matter what

You can't outrun us.

Who's paying you?

Do you even know who you stole from?

You're going to have to

It doesn't have to go that way.

We can all walk away.

We can make a deal.

You tell me what I want to know.

You walk away. We walk away.

Why not?

You take a job, you finish the job.

Tell me.

Tell me what I need to know.

You don't even realize what you did.

You don't know what you took.

We took money. A lot of money.

(CHUCKLES) You don't even know.

Then tell me, what did we take?

Well, if you had it, you'd know.

Maybe I have it and I just

want to hear you say it.

Do you have it?

Tell me what we stole.

The key.

You stole the key.

What key?

Well, maybe if you return the key,

well, then perhaps you can live.

Perhaps your family can live.

Maybe there is a way out after all.

JOE: Then tell me.

How do I fix this?

How do I make it stop?

DEVIL: Without the key, you can't.

- JOE: I have to.

- No, you can't.

No, no. Let me fix this.

Where's the key you

want? How do we get it?

If I knew that, do you

think I'd be sitting here

strapped to a f*cking

chair talking to you?

- JOE: Who hired you?

- Who hired you?

Have you asked Dianne

Harewood these questions?

Dianne's dead.

DEVIL: Oh, is she now?

Yeah, she saw her die.

I don't think so.

She was buried in the expl*si*n.

DEVIL: They'll be found, David.

They'll be found and they'll

be k*lled because of you.

Just tell me who you work for.

They'll be k*lled and their

Who do you work for?
