What's the problem?

The gas gauge on
this beast doesn't work,

and I seem to be out.

You want us to
call you a tow truck?

Well, I got a spare can
in the back of the truck.

Maybe you guys could
hang around till I put that in

and see if that's what's wrong.

Sure.

Set up!

Set up!

I've been hit, Norm.

Shut up. We got
to get out of here.

Norm, I'm bleeding.

Shut up. If you didn't stop,
you wouldn't have happened.

You guys better take off
or you're going to be hot.

You want to shut up or you want
me to finish you off right now?

You know, that's stupid.

I told you to shut
up. Now, get in there.

Come on.

If you want to stay alive,
you do what I tell you.

What are you doing? Are
you crazy? Get him out of here.

Hostages, man.
Our ticket out of here.

You got to get me to a doctor.

It ain't bad.

It ain't your shoulder, either.

Now, listen. We
do like we planned.

Now, nothing is changed.

Here. Keep an eye on him.

You guys really have
lousy taste in getaway cars.

You want to shut up?

Hey, how about it, Norm?

Want to get this
thing out of here?

Do like we planned.
Susie can patch you up.

One-Adam-12, code 1.

One-Adam-12, code 1.

I'm going to get you.

Nobody's supposed to sh**t me.

Why did you sh**t me?

Take it easy.

Don't talk down to
me, flannel head.

You cops are nothing
but civil servants.

Like garbage collectors.

Little tests for little people.

Go on, man, try.
Try and take me.

I'll punch the L right
out of that Malloy.

I know you two think
we're going to k*ll you,

but it doesn't have
to be that way.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Last thing in the world I
want to be is a cop k*ller.

You guys got friends,

and they'd keep
after us till they got us.

Now, all you got to do to
stay alive is just play along.

No deal.

Let the man talk.

- What?
- Let's hear what he has to say.

I don't want to hurt you.

And I'll keep Steve
here from blowing his lid.

Quit making me into
some kind of head case.

Now, that ain't what I meant.

Go on.

Well, I got a problem

with the chick who lives here.

Now, you just shut your
mouth and play along.

For once, Pete,
don't cave in, man.

It's not going to
do you any good.

They're going to k*ll us anyway.

How do you know?

Did you get that out of
your little blue rule book?

Now, if you cooperate,
we'll let you loose

when we get where we're going.

That's a promise.

Knock it off.

What's going on?

Where's Bill?

It didn't go like
we planned, Susie.

Come on, Norm.
Tell me. Where's Bill?

You got to understand
the way it was.

Where is he?

Where is he?

These pigs sh*t him. He's dead.

No.

Don't touch, Susie.

They're our ticket out of here.

Why?

Why did you k*ll him?

He didn't know. He
was only 17 years old.

We didn't k*ll anybody.

Hey, flannel head, I
told you to button it.

Like I told you, Susie,
cops are just like people,

except they're dumber.

No more chicken.

Come on, Susie.
Ain't you at least glad

that we caught
your brother's K*llers?

You could at least
thank us for that.

Shut up.

Hey, Susie, these
pigs give us any trouble,

I'll let you blow up the
mouthy one with the gimp leg.

Come on, babe, listen.

Now, we ain't got time for this.

Now, we got to get out of here
before the cops find this place.

Why?

Was he dead?

It just happened.

Look, I'll k*ll you. I swear it!

I'll k*ll you both!

You don't get Malloy.

I get Malloy. He's mine.

Come on! Knock it off!

Come on, now, Susie. Calm down.

We got to get out of here.

Now, we're still going to
go to your old man's place.

Now, he can still fly us out.

Okay, now, listen, baby.
Now, you take Steve inside,

and you fix up his
shoulder, okay?

And then you get together
a change of clothes,

and we'll get out of here.

Come on.

That's a good girl. Come on.

Give me the keys.

You did just terrible.
I told you to shut up.

What a shame. I always
hated getting low marks.

Yeah, well, just to show
you I'm not such a bad guy,

I'll let Susie fix you up.

We cooperate, you
won't k*ll us, right?

Oh, that's right, hero.

You guys are nothing more
than a free pass out of town.

Once we get out to the
desert to her old man's place,

we'll turn you loose.

You ride up front with me.

Go on, Susie, fix him up.

No, I want him dead.

I hope he bleeds
his lousy guts out.

I told you to fix
him up. Now, do it.

You do it. I
wouldn't spit on him.

Just a little lovers' quarrel.

You hear that, Norm?

Little Susie told
you to stuff it.

She doesn't like
your action anymore.

What's the matter, Steve?
You feel like a third wheel?

Oh, shut up.

You know, chicks
really don't dig guys

who come on like
psychopaths, man.

You got to calm your act down

and start coming
on a little normal.

Shut up.

Don't call me a headcase.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
anything personal.

You do that again, I'll come
down on you, you crummy pig.

Relax, Steve, just take it easy.

Everyone's always
telling me to relax!

I'll do what I want, you hear?

Don't worry about Steve.
He's just a little jumpy.

He'll settle down.

He doesn't act like it.

I told you I can handle him.

You and Reed are
going to be just fine.

Look, maybe I can help.

And I'll tell you a few things to
keep you from getting caught.

Okay, how can you help me?

First, I got to have
certain assurances.

You got my word.

Pardon me,

but that doesn't make
me exactly all gooey inside.

All right, you got
something that helps me,

maybe I'll let you
off someplace.

Now, you got to trust me.

It ain't going to
hurt you to try.

Yeah, well, this camper's
probably hot enough

to cook a tamale on.

Go on.

Just before we stopped you,
my partner ran the license.

So what?

When they find
our car abandoned,

they're going to check the
last radio transmission we had.

And pick up the
description of the truck

and get a license plate.

Right.

You hear that?

Yeah.

How about it, Reed?
Is that what happened?

That's really stupid, Pete.

You really had to
do it, didn't you?

You really blew it.

What are we going to do, Norm?

Just shut up and let me think.

You better get another car.

You wouldn't kid me, would you?

Don't you trust me?
What have you got to lose?

Okay, Steve, you're
the hot wire expert.

You got to get out
and get something else.

How come me? I
always get the dirty jobs.

Because I wouldn't
know an ignition coil

if it rode past me on a bicycle.

You got that right.

Susie, you want the g*n?

Out.

When the Indians
captured the prisoners,

they always gave them
to the women to k*ll.

You two have fun now.

You're not going
to do it, Susan.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, you already suspect
that they're lying to you.

You k*lled him.

You sh*t Bill.

He was my brother.

If we k*lled him, why did
Norm want us out of town, huh?

Why didn't he just stay
holed up at your place?

If Bill's dead, nobody
would know where we were.

You're trying to trick me.

No. No, you want to
know what happened?

They tried a robbery,
and they fouled it up.

And Bill got sh*t, and they
ran off and they left him.

That's why Norm had to split,

because he didn't know
whether Bill was dead or alive.

He was afraid he'd turn you in.

How can I trust
you? You're a cop.

Oh, and Steve's a psychopath,
and Norm's running scared.

Why should you trust them?

They're my friends.

Oh, they ran off, and
they left your brother.

Look, Norm wouldn't
do that. Norm loved him.

They ran off, and
they left him, Susan.

Now, believe me.

Look, just shut up.
Shut up, damn you!

Maybe our luck's changing.

We already got
them into a hot bus

that looks like it's
ready to fall apart.

I know you're trying
to split them up,

but be careful of Steve.
He's really a headcase.

No kidding.

What are you? Nuts?
What did you steal this for?

This ain't exactly
New York City out here,

and there ain't that
much to chose from.

Yeah, but a school bus?

What makes you the big leader?

Look, Steve...

You want to find
something better,

you're welcome.

I told you everything
else was locked up.

This is all I could
come up with!

O-Okay, okay...

Now, stop hassling me!

Okay, I said I was sorry.

Look. Here. Let's get loaded up.

Why don't you
uncuff me for a while?

I'll help you move
some of this stuff.

Maybe later, okay?

I'll take the boxes.

Okay, let's go.

How do you start this thing?

Thank you.

You're wasting your
time on him, babe.

Don't call me that.

What? Norm does.

Don't call me that.

Cops, their little tests and
their little review boards.

Huh, you guys really think you
got the world by the tail, don't you?

You must have
wanted it pretty bad.

What are you talking about?

What are you doing, Norm?

He flunked the
department mental test.

If I was looking for a partner,

I sure wouldn't pick a guy
who was a police reject.

Hey! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Steve!

Stand back.

Come on, Steve.
Come on, old buddy.

Stop hassling me.

Come on, Steve. Put that away.

I'm through doing what you say.

You forget, man, I was
there. I saw you turn into jelly.

Knock it off.

He left Bill. Security
guard sh*t him,

and Norm just split.

Didn't even bother going
over to check on him.

You're lying.

Am I?

Well, we'll never know, babe.

Now, listen, Steve, old buddy.

Now, nothing has changed.
We're going to do it.

Now, please cool down.

You hear that, cop?

You're a dead man.

Ain't that so, Norman?

Nothing has changed, Steve.

Now, will you relax?

I thought you said
you could control him.

Shut up.

Norm, I'm frightened.

You're not going to hurt them?

I'm sorry, baby.

Now, you and me going to
get your old man out of the sack

and tell him to get
that tin can cranked up.

He's flying us to Mexico.

Don't you do anything
until we get ready to leave.

You're last. You're mine.

Buzz off.

Hey, I'm going to go
get my stuff, okay?

Out.

Okay, nothing, you
hear, until we get back.

Let's go.

On your knees.

I can blast you where you stand.

Go on, cop. Sweat it.

You're going to
spill all your nice guts

right there in the sand.

Hey!

Where's the g*n?

I don't know. It
went out that way.

Steve, get up!

Come on! Get up! Get up!

Steve, get up!

Come on.

Get up!

The old man's not
here. We got to get him.

I got a ride! I got a ride!

You got to take off, Pete.
You got to get us some help.

Yeah, well, I don't
see it that way.

Listen. Do you think you can
stand up there by yourself?

You mean a decoy?

All right, where's Malloy?

Took off. He left me.

Chicken to the end.

Little tests. Little boards.

Little boards. Little tests.

I'll take him.
