9 Bullets (2022) - full transcript

I promise not
to fuck up this time.

Boo.

Two suspects were caught
at the scene and one escaped

in what is reported
as a 1979...

This baby's looking good.

Hi, Dad,
when are you coming home?

Sam, listen to me.

Don't... don't be scared,
all right?

But that emergency
escape plan that

we've been practicing,
I need you to get the iPad,

and I need you to get
out of that house right now.



I'm gonna meet you
in our secret spot.

- Dad, what's happening?
- Sam!

Sam, just listen to me.
There's no time to talk.

I need you to go, all right?

Go, get out of the house now.

- Everything is gonna be fine.
- Okay.

- We're okay.
- Okay.

Sam is okay, we are okay.

Go faster, Ralph,
go faster.

We're gonna go,
we're gonna go.

- Everything is gonna be okay.
- Okay.

I'm sorry.
I'm so fucking sorry.

Come on, Moses, come on!

Ralph,
hurry up, please.



Okay.

Go faster, Ralph, go...

Okay, he's gonna be fine,
he's gonna be fine, okay?

Everything is gonna be fine!

Happy New Year!

Ralph?

Gypsy,
don't say anything.

I might've fucked up.

Ralph, hurry up.

There could be
an accounting issue.

What did you do now, huh?

What did you do?

You fucked with Jack?

You're as dumb as you look.

Can you call Jack
and just talk to him, please?

I can't have
anything to do with Jack.

Gypsy, please.
I need you to help me.

You're the only one
that he's gonna listen to.

All right.

All right, all right,
I'll call him.

Thank you... thank you, Gypsy,
thank you.

You missed the road!

Turn around!

Ralph?

Ralph?

Oh, shit.

No...

Fuck, Jack's gonna
have our asses, man.

We need to find that iPad!

There's no fucking iPad.

I found a computer, let's go.

Let's get the fuck
out of here, come on!

So when in the hell
is Tommy gonna get here

to clean up this mess?

It's Jack, hold on.
Hey, Jack.

Shit.

Shit.

Shh.

Sam!

Look at me.

Just be quiet, okay?

Okay?

Shh.

Shh. Stay quiet, please.

Kid, fucking sit down!

You're gonna get us
both killed, okay?

Sit there!

Jesus fucking Christ.

Let's get the fuck out of here.

Come on.

Okay, come on.

We've searched the house.
No kid, no iPad.

Shut the fuck up.

If you find that boy,
you'll find the iPad.

It's done.

We're looking for him
as we speak, Jack.

Motherfucker hung up on me.

No shit.

Fuck him.

Fuck him... fuck him.

Let's go see if Gypsy's
seen the kid.

Jesus Christ!

Gypsy!

Hell yeah,
that's dog shit.

When did Gypsy get a dog?

Hell, yeah, that's dog shit.

When did Gypsy get a dog?

Does he always do that?

No.

You're lucky.

This wasn't just to kill three,
they wanted four.

And they realized
they missed you.

They're gonna come
looking for you.

It's to set
an example for anyone

who tries to screw Jack.

Is that what my dad did?

Yeah...

No.

Which one is it?

Your daddy was a good man.

Just go to sleep, okay?

Do you know how to pump gas?

Come here.

It's your job from now on.

Think of us
as a traveling kibbutz.

What's a kibbutz?

Well, it means we
each have a chore.

I'm gonna go get you
a phone for your bus ride.

So you're not gonna drive me?

I'm driving you
to the bus station.

I have a life
and a book to finish.

Do you have a phone?

Are they gonna get away
with killing my family?

For now, Sam, yeah.

They're professional killers.

There'll be no trace
that they killed your family.

Living is your win, okay?

Mine is to finish my book
and catch a cruise.

How many cruises
have you been on?

About 13.

Me and my dad
slept on the "Queen Mary."

Best sleep I ever had
on that big blue sea.

I'll never forget it.

Which sea?

San Pedro Sea.

I'll never get to do that
with my dad.

I understand.

Did you lose your dad too?

I've lost a lot,
let's leave it at that.

- I got you a phone.
- Thanks.

Get out your dad's iPad.

Let's find your uncle.

This is Rabbi Stein.

Hi, Mr. Stein... I'm sorry.
Rabbi.

I... I don't know
how to tell you this,

but your brother's been killed.

The whole family are dead
apart from Sam.

How?

I can't go
into that right now.

But I have your nephew.
I'm gonna send him to you.

I, uh... I don't know that
I can take on another child.

I... I have children of my own.

He loves kids.

Uh, can you just hold on
for one second?

Jenny, hi.

The bosses think it's
gonna be a bestseller

so you've been pushed
two weeks for first quarter.

How is the rewrite going?

Can I call you back?
Stop.

Gypsy, two weeks
for first quarter.

- Hey, Rabbi.
- Yes?

Yeah, I'm putting him
on the next bus to Grand Forks.

I'll let you know
when he gets there.

No, can you keep him
for a little while

to give me time
to figure out what to do?

Yeah,
I'll make sure to call you

and tell you what bus he's on.

Hmm... uh...

- He doesn't want me.
- Of course he does.

Look, I'm a retired
burlesque dancer, okay?

Not good for a kid.

I can't have a kid.

Listen, I'm not saying
that I don't want the child.

I'm merely saying that
I need some time to prepare.

You think he had time
to prepare when his family

was butchered
in front of his face?

I'll text you
what bus he's on... fuck!

Hey, kid! Wait... wait!

Wait, stop!

Let go of me.

He doesn't want me.

No one wants me.

Of course he wants you,
he's excited.

He just... he has to sit shiva
over your dad first.

Okay?

And don't fucking run away.

Come on, heads up.

Here, take this.

Wait!

Stop, I can take care of myself
by myself.

Stop, let go of me.

You don't want me anyway.

Hop in.

No one's gonna find
those bodies now.

Fuck this kid.

I don't need a kid
and a fucking dog, okay?

I promise I'll be good.

It's safer taking
the back road to your uncle.

Moses is his name.

Oh, it's a...
it's a cool name, Sam.

That's unique, biblical.

You know,
you really don't have to lie.

I'm not good at
this kid thing, okay?

But you're gonna be okay,
I promise.

How can you say that?

How can you lie to me?

All grown-ups ever do is lie.

And you won't take me,
my uncle doesn't even want me.

What, you just want me
to live in the wilderness?

You'll land on your feet.

How do you know that?

You never had a kid.

Okay, Mr. Know-it-all.

God protects kids.

He protected you.

What?

Can I have one?

- Sure.
- Yes!

Here you go.

My last one.

Hell yeah.

Lucky.

Actually, it's a terrible idea.

What was that for?

You're a kid.

Why are we stopping?

Because I have to work.

And what do I do?

What little boys do.

Eat, swim,
watch TV with the sound down.

- Um...
- So I can write.

I don't know how to swim.

What kid
doesn't know how to swim?

A kid who's grown up
on the desert.

Help, I can't swim!

Help, I can't swim!

How'd you know?

Your mom.

Proudly showed me
all your swim trophies.

I'm sorry.
I just didn't wanna be alone.

Look, I'm sorry
for everything

that's happened to you.

Just know I know pain.

It doesn't go away,
but it gets better.

Let's make a pact,
you know what that is?

A deal, an agreement.

You don't want me to lie
to you, you don't lie to me.

Okay?

Hey.

Hey, I'm talking to you.
You answer me.

An angel just passed through
to heaven.

Maybe it's Mom.

Or Charlie.

Who's Charlie?

Someone I knew.

Uh, you get the couch.

Is that a video game
or something?

I'm trading Bitcoin currency.

Bitcoin?

You mean the fake money
people talk about?

Can you hold it in your hand?

- No.
- Then it's bullshit.

Last week, I made $22,000.

Who are you?

My mom used to hold me
till I fell asleep.

Okay, well,
you have to move up.

Oh, God.

Ow, fuck.

You don't know much
about love, do you?

And you're
an 11-year-old expert?

You better let someone
love you before it's too late.

It was my
mom's favorite saying.

Please?

They're sure to kill you if
they find you with me, right?

I'm a cat with nine lives.
I'll be fine.

What does that mean?

It takes nine bullets
to kill me.

I got a ping
on her credit card.

She's a mile from here.

Okay, so we're here.

Your uncle is there.

I have five days to get here,
just enough time to drop you.

- That's Gypsy.
- It sure is.

Go, go!

Okay, get in, get down.

Well, fancy seeing you
here today.

Hmm,
nice to see you, Mike.

- Going on a trip?
- Maybe.

Seen your neighbor lately?

I don't see much, Eddie.

Well, we didn't get them all.

Lost the kid.

Maybe you should be
looking for the kid

instead of loitering.

Don't wanna piss Jack off.

Right.

Hey, get
your fucking hands off.

You know,
we always get our man.

Let's go, fellas.

Hi, Jack.

You're the only woman
I ever loved.

Still wondering
if I made a mistake.

Yeah, well,
of course you did.

The boys said you looked
pretty as a peach.

Well, boys lie.

The boys are too scared to lie.

Did you have to do 'em all?

And there it is.

Say we did.
You took the dog.

I didn't take the dog,
they gave the dog to me.

You hate dogs.

Well, I slept with too many.

What you doing now?

Right now I'm looking
at the biggest set of balls

I've ever seen.

Hey, now take him.
Take him back.

Okay.

You know,
Lisa wants me to run for mayor.

Come on, diplomacy's
never been your strong point.

Well, when an employee
takes my fucking money,

I tend to believe
in capital punishment.

Where's the boy?

What boy?

You killed the whole family.

Okay, Gypsy,
when will you bring me the dog?

If I say no, you'll kill me.

If I say yes,
you'll kill the dog.

Hmm.

Why don't you bring him in out
of respect for what we've had?

I'll give you a 50/50 chance
that I won't kill him.

- 70.
- 70?

You're playing
hard to get, aren't you?

Look, I...
I don't want a dog,

okay, but I love this dog.

This dog helped me
when I was at my lowest,

helped me write a book.

A dog helped you
write a book?

You know what I mean.

Please?

For old times' sake?

Come on, baby.

His papa disrespected me

and took things
that weren't his.

Now, you keep that kid,
you're doing the same.

70% in favor of my dog.

I'll let you know.

And wear something tight.

What?

Isn't your skirt a little
too short for your age?

Like your mouth's
too big for yours?

Your jeans are way cooler.

Thank you, Tom Ford.

Come on, Gypsy,
you can do this.

Don't leave the room, okay,
or open the door to anyone.

It might be a while.

Why are you
putting perfume on?

I always wear perfume.

No, you don't.

Come on, Moses,
let's go part the Red Sea.

You better bring my
dog back!

You got an oral fixation,
you know that?

You never complained.

Look at that little fucker.

Hey.

Don't you make your mark.

Did you
have to kill them all?

You like
what I did to the place?

You know what I think?

I think you have
too much furniture.

Hmm.

- Lacked a woman's touch.
- Mm-hmm.

You care about that kid?

I lit the fire.

They're getting younger.

What are you doing?

Something I should have done
years ago.

Hmm?

Leave you wanting more.

You know you're the only
woman for me, right?

Then why did you have
four other people

when we were together?

'Cause I was young.

'Cause you don't see
what you need

until it's
right in front of you.

I'm ready now.

Well, Moses
is the only guy for me now.

Yeah, he sure looks like
he shares the love.

Why'd you leave so fast?

I got a book deal.

A chance to change my life.

- Come here.
- To cruise.

To finish my editor's notes.

Ask the club.
It's all been planned.

You know, I... I always
thought that you'd come back.

I was too dependent
on you, Jack.

Just trapped by what
other people saw in me.

Using one's mind is
a merit of freedom, right?

I had that when I was a kid.

- I lost it.
- I gave you that.

I gave you freedom, didn't I?

I got a second chance.

I can't let anything,
including a stupid kid,

get in the way of that.

Now do I get to keep the dog?

Hey.

Hey, you wanna see
something shiny?

Hey.

Oh, his heart's beating
faster than mine.

Hmm.

I'll see you
in the next life.

Do you believe her, boss?

Just keep walking.

Hey, Moses, come on,
don't fuck around.

Fucking keys.

How's your fake currency?

Up $2,000 since yesterday.

Well, we need real cash, Sam.

- Not play coins.
- This is real.

I really messed up
on that shirt.

Um...

I have to pee.

Fuck!

It's okay, it's okay.

Okay, Moses, here I come.

- Sam!
- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.
- Sam!

- Oh, my God, I just...
- Are you okay?

Oh, Jesus.

He must smell something.

Oh, God,
this is horrible.

Oh, my God,
I'm gonna call the insurance.

Okay, you need to get your
stuff and get inside, okay?

- Go! Don't question me.
- Gotta call the insurance.

Oh... oh, no, I'm gonna
take care of the damages.

Fuck!
Here... good boy.

I'm so sorry.

I just... how
do I use this thing?

I fucking hate dogs.

I'm so stressed.

Oh, my God, listen... wait,
the dog is in the car.

The window isn't down.
The window isn't down!

Get up, Sam.

No kid. Just the dog.

Shit.

She's gotta be checking out.

Ain't nobody gonna
leave no dog in a truck

with the windows rolled up.

Fuck that dog.
It's the kid we're after.

Grab your backpack.

They put a tracking device
on the car.

It's what Moses
was barking about.

I have an idea.

Fuck.

Hey, if you're up there,
I could use some fucking help.

Need some help?

So he doesn't believe me?

That's real heavy.

Come on, Eddie,
don't do this.

You shouldn't lie.

I like clothes.

- Open it.
- You fucking open it.

- Oh, he's in there, ain't he?
- No, you moron.

Fuck you.

Fuck, no!

Fuck you. Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Get out of here, you two.

And tell Jack
I didn't fucking lie.

Go fuck yourself.

Fuck.

Come on up.

Come on, Sam, hurry up.

I hate them.

Just get in here, quick.

Put my computer
under your seat.

Here, hold your dog.

Oh, look at that.

I still can't believe
that woman left her dog

with the windows
rolled up in her car.

Can you imagine what
she'd do with her kid?

Ooh, wait now.

That lady, she was with a kid?

Yeah, she was with a kid
and a dog.

Thank you.

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, can you drive?

- No.
- Just hold it straight, okay?

Straight, Sam.

Go straight,
go straight, go straight.

You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

Whoo, that was a killer
free throw.

Talk to me, Eddie.

Where do I go?

Hold on a second.
I lost the signal.

Shit.

I'm just gonna take
the damn interstate.

Just hold on
a second, it's...

Oh, come on, come on.

That new techno shit,
driving me freakin' crazy.

New world, baby.

You snooze, you lose.

Or you could retire.

You know what,
why don't you retire?

Right here. I got it.

Got it, got it,
got it, right here.

Take a right up here.

Are you sure
you don't want half?

Hate peanut butter.

Hate jelly.

Whoa, no one hates PBJs.

What if he doesn't want me?

What grown-up
doesn't like kids?

You.

I bet most grown-ups
are like you.

If it's not their kid,
they don't want them.

People adopt.

But do they?

Do you understand
how long I've tried

to be something other
than I am?

Do you get that every time
I try to do something I like,

I get interrupted by a jerk,
or a bill,

or an eviction notice,
and now you?

This, right here,
gets me a new life.

I want a new life.

Just tell me what
the odds are he'll like me.

I don't know.

Do I have
a crystal fucking ball?

I'm not a psychic.

I want someone to love me.

We all want someone
to love us, okay?

There's no guarantees in life.

I had someone once and...

I realized
I wasn't special, so...

People say the one
who leaves doesn't hurt,

but that's not true.

Then one day I woke up
and I was staring at

a Christmas tree all alone
and it didn't bring me any joy.

It just made me feel sad.

I have to write.

Hey, Gypsy.

Gypsy.

Gypsy.

No one is gonna want
a kid that can't keep

their fucking trap shut.

God damn it, Sam.

Come here... come here.

Just get over here.

Oh, fuck.

Move over.

Come on, move over.

Move up.

I had stuff happen to me
too when I was younger.

Life-changing stuff.

Like what?

You wouldn't understand.

I will.

When I was younger, I got
a scholarship to Princeton.

It's a fancy college
for smart people.

My dad was like, "Ha,
you'll never leave this town."

But the joke was on him,
right, 'cause I used my brain.

I had this professor that...

He was brilliant, so smart.

I would have done
anything for him.

Then one night, he...
he said he had something

specific for us to work on,
so I stayed behind.

And he did something bad to me.

I fought him, but...

I got pregnant.

My dad said no smart Catholic
girl would ever get knocked up.

That I was just
a piece of meat.

So I dropped out of college
and moved in with my dad,

got a job at a bar,
and I drank.

And then one night, they called
me and said I left my phone.

So I... I thought
I'd take Charlie with me

'cause I never saw him,
and he was teething.

I thought it would soothe him.

I had to swerve, otherwise...

The car would've hit us.

I hit a tree.

Charlie broke his neck. So...

I can't be around kids

'cause it makes me think
of the one I lost.

You're crying.

I'll get the check.

- That's pretty good.
- That's fucked up, boys.

That's your new technology
bullshit for you right there.

- Come on, let's go.
- Fuckin' move.

Blaming it on you.

I knew we should have
killed that dog.

My CHP friends
are running a search.

Well, you best
find it fast, Eddie.

Pull up all you can
on Ralph Stein's relatives

and tough it up.

What's this?

Do I look like a rabbit?

You look great, honey.

Hmm.

- Gypsy.
- Yeah.

- What?
- Let me drive.

- Sorry.
- Close your eyes.

No, no, no. It's too... it's
too dangerous at night.

A deer could jump
on the highway.

- Five minutes?
- One minute.

Fine.

Okay.
You hold it straight, okay?

I got it, I got it.

Go to sleep.

- Oof!
- Ah...

Agh!

You're working now?

"The heights by great men
reached and kept

"were not attained
by sudden flight,

"but they,
while their companions slept,

were toiling onwards
through the night."

It means you work
while everyone else sleeps

if you wanna be great.

Why are we stopping?

Eating, peeing, car shopping.

Uh, I don't see
any cars around here.

Be open to miracles.

I'll stay here, you go
get me something to eat, okay?

Thanks.

Uh, get me turkey cheese
on wheat, toast the wheat.

I want mayo and pickles,
but sweet pickles, okay?

Not dill pickles, you got it?

You hold Moses, okay?

Okay, Moses,
stay with me.

Watch the cars, okay?

Got it.

There we go.

Food.

Um, that's not our car.

Well, it is now, so get in.

Come here... good boy.

Bye, old girl.

Sweet.

We're going
to get in trouble now.

We'll live longer.

- We broke the law.
- I did.

Just eat your sandwich.
It'll be great.

You shouldn't have
taken this car.

I shouldn't have done
a lot of things in my life.

I'm starting to think I
shouldn't have gotten involved

with the ungrateful brat
to my right.

- I'm not a brat.
- Stop acting like one.

You see what happened
to your family?

Same thing's gonna happen to us
if I can't think of anything.

Ahh!

- Who the fuck are you people?
- Fuck! Fuck!

Ahh!

Wait, who the fuck are you?

Who the fuck am I?

Who the fuck are you?

Apparently
I'm your new chauffeur.

Chauffeur in my car?

This is my fucking car!

Who sleeps in their car
with the keys in it?

A hungover woman, man.

I need some coffee
and an aspirin.

Get in the car
before we all get killed.

Ah!

I can't believe this shit.

Want half?

I haven't had a PBJ
since I was, like, 16.

You two don't look like
normal car thieves.

You must be up shit's creek
with no paddle.

Kind of pisses me off that you
would take a brand-new Porsche.

Well, it was ripe
for the taking.

Do you know how long
it took me to save up

- to get this puppy?
- No.

Years and years of hard work.

Look at these fingers.

Do they look like
dishpan hands to you?

Do they?

Of course they do.

I don't work these
fingers to the bone

to pay my damn bills.

What do you want me to do,
go back to my truck?

They probably found it by now.

Who's they?

The men who...

My husband
was not good to the kid.

So that's your son, huh?

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm, yeah.

Yeah.
I could see the resemblance.

Who are you hiding from?

Bad man, the kind who doesn't
give a shit how he finds me.

Great, so now my ass
is in a twist, huh?

Well, not as long
as we're stealing your car.

- Where are you heading?
- San Pedro.

- San Pedro?
- Yeah.

You know you're going
the wrong direction, right?

Stealing cars and driving
in the wrong direction.

I thought my ass had troubles.

Well, I promised
I'd drop him first.

Oh, you're just
a regular Girl Scout.

- Mm-hmm.
- Well, listen.

I'm headed to M-I-N-O-T.
Minot, North Dakota.

Home of the Minot
Air Force Base

and the Roosevelt Zoo.

It's Minot, but okay.

Did you know
it's illegal to fall asleep

with your shoes on
in North Dakota?

Wear a hat to a dance, or eat
pretzels or beer together?

Who asked you, kid?

Can you drop us
at Grand Forks?

Ha! You serious?

Yeah.

What do I look like,
a chauffeur?

I could take you two
as far as Minot...

Minot.

Then you have to find
another ride to steal.

- Oh, come on.
- Come on nothing.

This is my car,
my gas, and I'm the boss.

Now look,
I gotta get my beauty sleep.

You just keep on driving,
wake me up in a few.

It was nice meeting you both.

Come on, dog,
get out the way.

How long
does she do that for?

Two to three hours.

Does she sleep?

Not much.

You gotta give it to her,
she looks pretty serious.

What's the book about, anyway?

It's about her work.

She's a dancer
somewhere in Santa Clarita.

- At The Jewel?
- Have you been there?

Never heard of it.

Let's go watch TV in my room.

Gypsy, I'm about to watch TV
with Tasmin.

- Bye.
- Okay.

Thank God for our friends
in uniform.

Positive ID on the truck.

We gotta find this bitch.

Slow and steady
wins the race.

I think it's time
to report a stolen kid.

We gotta do something.

Who's gonna break
the news to Jack?

Hey, what's your Wi-Fi?

Sweet dreams, all lowercase.

Listen, hon,
your card is declined.

That's not possible.

It was.
Tried it twice.

Have you seen this kid?

Can you find who he was with?

Sorry, I need some help.
Can you help me?

Yeah, the door in the back.

You stay here with this.

1218 in progress,
white female, 30s, brown hair.

We gotta go.

Make that the royal two,
I just got here.

Uh, I don't think
you understand.

They have our photos.
My bank account's been frozen.

So you don't have any money.

Not on me but I can get some,
I need a ride.

Do I look
like I have the words

"dumbass" tattooed
across my forehead?

I will get you money,
but I need time... come on.

I can do that
in under an hour.

Yeah, I'm not talking
about that kind of money.

- What kind?
- Course you're not,

Ms. Intellectual,
I'm writing a book,

trying to pull rank
on a fellow pro.

Are you guys bank robbers?

No.

From one gal to another,
I beg you,

please give us a ride,
I'll get you some money.

How much?

$500.

$2,000 and you dedicate
your book to me.

I don't even know you.

You will know me
for saving your ass.

- You haven't saved it yet.
- I will.

Okay, deal. You go pack.
Sam and I will wait in the car.

Oh, you barking orders
at me now?

Also, I left my bag
in the business center.

Oh, the queen
has left her bag.

You want anything else?
Champagne and caviar?

No.

But if they recognize me,
there'll be no book,

no dedication, and no money.

I smell a rat, and when
I get back in this car,

you better tell me
what's going on.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

I smell a rat too.

- Fernando Santorini.
- She's Spanish?

Well, she either
stole the car,

or she's a he, which she's not.

Thank you, baby.

All right,
put them in the car.

Moses!

Close it.

What is she doing?

Bye.

All right, let's roll,
bi-atch, here.

That better be one big
fucking dedication.

Tell me the truth.
Who are you two?

From one rat to another,
who owns this car?

Fernando?

- I borrowed it.
- Like I borrowed it?

Exactly.

Great minds think alike.

I'm just trying
to get home to my mama.

- Tired of...
- Dancing?

Yeah, my feet
and my mouth are tired.

You talk a lot
when you dance?

I've talked enough
for a lifetime.

When are we getting
to this money?

In about six hours.

It's way before "Minot."

Smart-ass.

Minot.

Hi, this is Lacey.

Leave a message
after the beep.

Hey, Lacey,
that rainy day has come.

We'll be there in a few hours.

You ever seen the movie
"Deliverance"?

- Oh, come on.
- No.

It's about these city guys.

They get lost in the woods
and then this toothless

mountain man grabs one of them
and says, "Scream like a pig."

And he gets behind him and...

Okay, Fernando,
that's probably enough.

But then he spanks him.

Why does he spank him?

For getting them lost.

- We're not lost.
- Yeah right.

There's no mountain man,
there's a motel.

Come here.
Can you hold your dog?

Get that dog off me.

He's gonna spank you.

Lacey was a professor
of mine in college.

She's always
been there for me.

Whoa, this is great.

It's, um, clean.

If you need anything,
just call.

Can't we just wait
'til the morning?

We gotta keep going.

- I'll go.
- Hmm, no,

it's not safe for kids.

We're gonna go and get
the money, we'll be right back.

And what if you don't
come back?

Then you call your uncle.

I'm the girl
with nine lives, remember?

Hey, come on, Sleeping Beauty.

Tasmin, come on.

Seriously, come on.

- Why?
- Wait!

Moses and I can make you happy,

and we can take care
of each other like a family.

You don't have to be alone
anymore.

It's not who I am, Sam.

- Looks crazy.
- It's a graveyard.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

We're here
for my retirement fund.

Who names a person
Ventures Gain?

It's Jack's favorite horse.

Now you get to go home.

I get to disappear.

- Jack.
- Yeah, anytime, darling.

You had me duped,

and then I remembered
that we put this here.

Go get her.

Your hands are dirty,
let me... here.

Hmm?

Where is he?

He's just a fucking kid.

He's the kid
whose daddy took my money,

and I need it back.

"Fathers shall not be
put to death for the children,

"neither shall the children be
put to death for the fathers.

Every man shall be put
to death for his own sin,"

like Ralph Stein was.

You're preachin' now, yeah?
It's God's law, ain't mine.

You're using that kid.

You're using him
to fill your void, right?

I know you 'cause I'm the guy
that pulled up from the gutter.

Who do you love more...

Me or some kid?

The dog.

Oh, fuck it.

You want me to do it?

- You know I will do it.
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, we, uh, we lost her.

But not for long.

Gypsy's the important one,
let's get after her.

Come on.

Hey, Mama.

No I'm fine, Mama.

I'm almost there.

Okay, I gotta go, Ma.

Okay, bye.

I hate the goddamn
cemetery, man.

Goddamn.

Okay, God,
forgive me, okay?

Search that.

I don't think
anyone's in there, boss.

- Tommy, check it out.
- Son of a bitch.

Hey, yo, chief!
We got something!

Who is it?

It's Lacey,
you have a call.

I was just about to make
some hot cocoa.

Why don't you come over
and have a cup with me

and we can have an adult
conversation, yeah?

- Yeah.
- You bring your dog.

Come on, Moses.

Fuck.

Just go to sleep, Gypsy.

It's nice and dark in here.

Fuck!

Good morning, everyone.

I'm one mile away, Mama.

I can't wait to see you.

All right, I'ma get you your
favorite breakfast

and we gonna celebrate.

Bye, Mama.

Fuck it.

One fucking dollar.

You know, the Navajo believed
that to truly curse a man,

just make him fall
in love with a woman.

You want me
to go soft on her, boss?

Just be gentle.

Hey, Tommy.

Yeah, where do I turn?

If this thing's right,
we're gonna need to turn

left right here
at this restaurant.

There? Gotcha.

Well, Gypsy and I
made a plan a long time ago.

She'd go get the money
she needed to escape,

and if anything went wrong,
we'd meet on this road.

Let's hope she remembers.

There she is!

Hey!

I've never been happier
to see you.

Our plan worked.

And this will take us...

Yes,
in the back, please.

Why do we have to leave him?

It's just best, Sam,
until you get settled.

You know, Sam, it can get
pretty lonely out here.

And it will really help me
if I can have some company

for a week or two
just until you get settled.

Mm-hmm.

Come on, kiddo.

It's only a few weeks, Moses.

Don't worry,
I'll take good care of him.

The last thing my mother
ever said to me was,

"Be strong, don't quit."

Thanks, Lacey.

You got some time?

Do I know you?

Not yet, you don't.

This gentleman
speaks my language.

Step inside my office.

I like to stand.

Whatever you want.

Answer the $500 question.

Where's the kid and the girl?

What?

Where's the kid and the girl?

- Answer the fucking question!
- I don't know them!

Where is the kid?

- I don't know them!
- And the girl?

Bullshit.

I just dropped them off
at Grizzly Cabins.

Please, mister, please.

I just wanna go see my mama.

I just want to go
see my mama.

Okay.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay, please.

Breathe, breathe... shh,
stop, stop, stop, stop.

- Shh.
- Okay, okay, okay.

Where is she?

They were at a cabin
20 miles from here.

Don't be slippin'.

So you're ready
to come home now?

Okay.

Come on.

"Something cut inside
and I couldn't love anyone.

"I claim I'm free, but am I?

- Sometimes I..."
- You read it, little shit!

"I'm broken and..."

You read my book?
That's private.

Everyone's gonna read it!

Yeah, when I'm ready,
when I choose.

You're just like
all my customers,

you just want fucking more.

And I am broken.

I don't wanna love anyone,
not you, not me, no one.

- I hate you!
- Yeah. Well, I hate you.

Take your fucking backpack.

Take this, you idiot.

Asshole.

Fuck!

I'm bad.

I'm sorry.

I don't care if you're bad.

I love you.

And if you're broken, Gypsy,

then I can fix you.

Just tell me where.

I fix my toys all the time.

Hey.

You comin'?

Huh, son of a bitch,
they're up in North Dakota.

Fuck.

Can I help you?

Well, you know what?
Actually, you probably can.

I'm looking for a kid
and his mom.

Oh, they checked out earlier.

Oh, yeah?

So you know where they went?

Nope, I mind
my own business.

Would you like a beer?

You know, I think I would.

- Mike.
- Yup.

Mike!

Mike, lying down on the job.

Oh, bitch, you are done.

Not today.

Not today.

Do you know what
you wanna do in life?

Live by the beach,
play soccer.

Oh, and make money
for my family.

And probably have a wife
and two kids.

That many, huh?

Are you sure you're 14?

I'm 11.

Come on.

Oh, wow.

I always knew you'd end up
liking PBJs.

I hate them.

How's that fake money
of yours going?

It's good.

I figured out all Dad's codes.

Mm-hmm.

I found his iPad.

There's a lot in there.

I didn't know
we had that much money.

How much, Sam?

Well, between his account
and mine, a lot.

$6,330,000 for us.

And I'm freaking Santa Claus.

And $750,000
in Dad's account.

We're in such shit.

Can any computer
access those accounts?

No, just this one.

Unless they send a code
to Dad's phone,

and I don't know
where that phone is.

This is why Jack's after us.

We gotta get this back to him.

He killed my family.

Your dad
took the money from Jack.

He only took $750,000.
The rest I made off of that.

If we give the codes to him,
then he'll kill us both.

Do you have all the codes?

They're on there, but the one
in here makes all those work.

Think you're over her
this time?

I'm younger, hotter,
and have a very powerful dad

who could help you win.

I could take you beyond mayor.

Sir, it's Gypsy
on the phone.

What?

I have the iPad and the code.

Code will only work
with this particular iPad.

When I get the boy to safety...

I wanna talk to the man
who killed my dad.

I'll send you the final code,
do we have a deal?

I'm gonna kill you.

I'm gonna get you for what
you did to my mom and dad.

- You'll regret knowing me.
- Stop.

I already do, kid.

Let me talk to him.
Give me that...

- Stop!
- Phone!

How do I
know I can trust you?

Because there's
$7,830,000 reasons why.

How many cents?

64.

Do we have a deal?

With him,
but not you, darling.

Oh, I'll finish that bitch.

Yeah. Jack or no Jack,
she's done.

All right.

Fucking Mike, man.

I fucking told
that motherfucker

he's gonna end up dead.

Early retirement, man.

North Dakota.

What's up, Lisa?

I'll give you a $50,000
bonus to take her out.

- What's that?
- Just get it done, Tommy.

Copy.

What did she say?

Nothing.

Do you think Tasmin
is with her mom now?

Probably asleep in her bed.

It's too bad she
didn't say goodbye.

Well, sometimes people don't
have time to say goodbye.

What's gonna happen
to you after you drop me off?

I'm gonna catch a cruise...

Lay low until
my book comes out.

Hmm, what about Jack?

You're a real
chatterbox right now, huh?

When Jack gets the codes,
he'll, um, leave you alone.

Me too, hopefully.

He said
the money only covers me.

Well, I have
nine lives, remember?

I'm gonna be there front
row of your college

graduation waving at you.

You promise you
wouldn't lie to me?

You have to send
the last code.

Go on, a deal is a deal.

Good boy, let's go.

- Wait, wait, wait.
- What?

I don't wanna go.

- Well, you gotta go.
- No.

What do you mean no?

You're gonna have a good
life here, a safe life.

All that fake money
I don't understand.

You're gonna be rich,
fall in love, live by the sea.

It was my mom's.

This will always protect you.

It's a piece of me.

Thanks you.

Thanks.

Okay, on three. One two, three.

Emma said,
"Oh, God, why?

Why did I marry this man?"

She wondered what her
life might have been like

had she married
a different man.

This life of hers

was as cold

as an attic facing north.

I love this passage from Bovary
because it captures

her feeling
of unrepentant regret

like a tragic flaw that

kept her on this path
of decision that spiraled

finally out of control until it
became even more regrettable.

So what is repentance?

It means that the sinner has
abandoned his sin,

removed them from his thoughts

and resolved
never to let them repeat again.

Can you?

Can you change your life?

Whoo!

Atta girl.

I taught you well.

Gypsy, where are we going?

Where are you taking me?

Are you gonna leave me
with him?

Gypsy, what does this mean?

Shh.

- Run!
- Ah!

Get in the car!

That boy's mine, Gypsy!

God damn it.

Come on, Gyps,
I'll make it quick, I promise.

Stay down.

I'm gonna
kill that boy, Gypsy.

No!

Hey!

Goodbye, Eddie.

Bye-bye, Gypsy.

Can't send a man
to do a woman's job.

Gypsy!

Gypsy!

No!

Help!

You have nine lives, remember?

You're a cat, remember?

Remember?

Gypsy!

Gypsy!

I'll do everything it takes.

Please, take care of me.

Please, I need you.

Is this heaven?

Heaven will have to wait.

I told you it takes
nine bullets to kill her.

Yes, you did.

You're a very lucky woman.

I'll leave you with your son.

Son?

Is that okay?

Come here.

See?

You're not broken anymore.

Hey, you're crying.

I don't cry.

Yes, you do.

Did you do
what I asked you to do?

The last code I texted
had a virus with an encryption.

The money was transferred

to Save the
Children Foundation.

He killed my family
and now he's giving to a lot

of kids like me who
lost their parents.

All of it?

I saved a little for us.

- How little?
- Three little million.

What?

Oh, my God.

You are trouble.

Wonderful, wonderful trouble.

Jack's never gonna let this go.

He's gonna be pissed.

He's gonna be pissed.

♪ The panic stations clear
out from the streets today.

Whoa!

So how do you like
your new car?

I'll give you three guesses.

And what about Jack?

Well, we just have
to say one step ahead of him.

After we get Moses,
of course.

Of course.

- You know what?
- Hmm?

I think you're gonna
have a best seller.

Let's hope so.

I love you.

I love you.

Here, take the wheel.

Keep it straight.

Straight.

- Whoa!
- Whoo-hoo!
