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, f*ck.

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 f*cking k*ll 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 b*at 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.

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 k*ll 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!

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 k*ll 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.

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, f*ck you.
