Run & Gun (2022) Movie Script

Rolex?

Fake fucking Rolex, by the way!

Hey! Hey! Amigo!

Wait. Hey!

Hey!

Amigo, untie me!

Untie me, please.

I've pissed off

the Shoemaker enough already.

Yeah, no shit?

I know who you are.

You work for her, right?

I also work for her, man.

She hates me too, yeah.

I lost her dog.

What did you do?

Yeah, a little bit

more than that.

Uh... So...

where are we going? America?

- We?

- Yeah.

I got family in Texas,

Florida, Des Moines...

I was thinking about California.

California! Yeah.

I love California.

Look, mate...

- Lupe. My name is Lupe, yeah.

- Lupe.

I'm sure you'd say anything to come

with me right now, but I just...

Yeah, you're right about that.

I sure will.

What's your name?

I haven't thought of

the new one yet.

- Huh?

- I'm just done.

I'm gonna get away

from all this violence.

Starting... now?

Yeah, now's good.

Good. Good choice,

I... I like that.

You and I, buddy, we're gonna be

great friends. You know that, right?

Man, I see it, just...

Sunday morning, you know,

mimosas for brunch,

you and I driving down PCH

in a convertible red Mustang.

We're gonna kill it!

My client,

this noble man before you,

was burglarized

nearly three months ago.

And your office has only paid a

fraction of the damages incurred.

There's no way

I'm gonna take a loss.

Tires. My client makes

an honest living selling tires,

and your offices won't promptly

step up and replace his damages.

I ain't gonna take a loss.

We're drawing up a massive suit

against Sackman/Burns.

If I were you, I'd be terrified.

That's depressing.

Didn't steal enough.

- Ray...

- Okay.

You know the saying,

"If you owe the bank $100,

it's your problem.

But you owe the bank

$100 million,

it's the bank's problem"?

Well, if you're gonna steal,

steal big.

If you're gonna gamble,

gamble big.

Petty shit

never gets you anywhere.

Okay, uh, well, thanks for that.

I'll be drafting

a letter today.

We'll pay the claim...

if you can answer me

just this one question.

Now, we agree that this window

is the sole entry and exit point

of the burglars?

Have I been talking

to myself this whole time?

No, no, no.

It's just that...

even a Mini Cooper's tire is

a whole lot wider than that.

Mr. Lopez, I believe you.

Somebody broke into your garage,

stole your property,

but you might wanna go

over your claim again.

Seems there's some items

on the list that have been

previously sold, misplaced,

or overlooked and...

there ain't no way

we're taking the loss.

Well, all right.

Whoa!

That actually got me.

All right, muscles.

You get some sleep.

- All right?

- All right.

- See you in a sec.

- See you.

Time is running

out for our Crane Guys.

There's no way.

There's no way we can lift this thing!

- I don't know if they're gonna be able to lift this.

- They always lift it.

Yeah, but, babe,

this time they've only got 15 minutes.

Or what happens?

- You're so smart.

- I know. Told you.

- Do I get a cookie?

- Yeah. Of course you get a cookie.

- So good.

- Yeah, these are the best part about meeting me.

- You have the best snacks.

- Yep.

- What?

- You wanna sneak out to my place?

I can't. I have to watch Julian.

Well, that's the beauty

of my place.

Okay, let's go.

Wow, really... Just such class.

I never dreamed I'd be dating a

guy who lived in a mobile home.

Mobile homes

are prefabricated houses

and this baby is a motor home.

Oh!

Or actually a

recreational vehicle,

since it was built after 1976.

- It was? Huh!

- Mmm.

No, no, no, no.

On account of that stuff

being gross.

I mean, how can you

eat that stuff?

Because it's delicious

and familiar.

Miss it if I stopped.

Right, well, I understand that.

I'm gonna get Julian

hooked on it, though.

You know Julian loves you.

And you're a hard guy

to get to really know.

You know me.

It's been a year.

Sixteen months.

A great 16 months.

It's just, Julian's starting

to see us as...

a family.

And so I'm wondering...

are we?

I mean,

do you even want a family?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course, one day.

Well, if you wanted

to move in, that'd be great.

If you wanted to move on,

I would be fine.

A little wrecked,

but I'd make it.

But I just can't break

his little heart.

I do want a family.

Seriously.

Two kids.

You know, boy and a girl.

Well, that little guy

would get you halfway there.

Man, the tire guy?

That was crazy.

I am definitely mentioning

that in my college classes.

Yeah.

How do you always

get in their head like that?

It's... It's crazy. It's almost

like you think like a criminal.

Dude, your talents

are wasted here.

I mean, you would kill it

in a poker tournament.

I gave up gambling.

Oh. Well, chess!

I'm more of a checkers man.

There are checkers men?

- All right, well, reminds me.

- Pretty sure.

I do have to get you

to sign my course hours.

- Your course hours.

- Yeah.

- All right!

- All right.

Course hours.

- Hello?

- Hey, it's me. Lupe.

What's up, buddy?

You still getting out next week?

I'm not gonna make it that

long, man, okay?

I just found out I got

spotted in here months ago.

Um... They waited to tell me,

and for them, it paid off.

Paid off? How?

They've seen you visit, Ray.

Well, did they follow me home?

Well, not them,

because they're in here with me,

but the people on the outside,

yeah, probably.

Look, I don't think

the Shoemaker's been told yet.

Why wouldn't she have been told?

There's a price

on both of our heads, Lupe.

And I don't need your

bullshit optimism right now.

Look, look. The spotter's

boss is someone local. Hmm?

I just think they want something

in exchange for not ratting us out.

If this gets back down to her,

if she finds out,

then anybody around us could be...

Dead. Yes, I know.

It's gonna be okay.

Just give me some time

and I'll figure out

what they want.

Look, I'm sorry, man.

Probably wishing you left me

in the desert, huh?

Okay. Well, gotta go. Bye.

Fuck!

Hey, how are you?

You must be Ray, yeah.

Name's Perry, I work for Grayson.

Heard of him?

He, um...

he wants you at this address.

Now.

So, uh...

if I were you...

I'd get there.

I want my fucking money!

Get that?

I want my fucking money!

Hey!

See all this?

My idea.

I told my brother,

if you ever wanna look like

you're losing a lot of money,

buy a newspaper.

You like that, huh?

Yeah, me too.

I got it at an art fair

where they were hawking

turquoise and pottery.

Artist was selling it

for a couple of hundred dollars.

I said, "Kid,

I'll give you $10,000 for it."

And he looks at me.

And I said, "The only caveat is

I get first dibs on everything

you create from here on out."

Now, I know

what you're thinking.

You're thinking a guy like me,

bringing art into the world.

But you gotta remember.

The Medicis were criminals,

crooks.

And without them,

you never would've had a Renaissance.

Wow, well,

that's a really cool story...

Stop it with

the fake American, okay?

I know who you are.

I know your name.

Of course,

your reputation precedes you.

The Shoemaker was very

secretive, good at hiding things.

It's a good thing she wasn't

very savvy at finding things,

because you'd be dead,

am I right?

If this is a case

of mistaken identity,

I can check with her.

I got her number up here.

Fine. What's your price?

Thank you.

My price is you work for me.

I'm done with that shit.

- Really?

- Really.

No kidding!

Me too!

After today, I'm pivoting.

Gonna tie up some loose ends.

The thing is...

I've intercepted a package

going to the Shoemaker.

It was too important for me to pass up.

It means everything.

It's the world, and it's gonna

be here in a couple of hours.

Now, if the Shoemaker

comes after me,

I want you close.

I can't trust those

knuckle-draggers over there.

You know what I mean?

They're not clever like you.

All right.

First job, my other place.

I have a neighbor.

He won't cut his tree.

Now I've given him a chance,

but I'm through talking.

Thank you.

You have tools?

I have a new drill,

but I don't like lending it out.

Poison.

Drill?

You make a little hole,

jam in the poison.

Wait, you're blackmailing me

to kill a tree?

Yeah.

What, you think I want you

to poison my neighbor?

Right? Hard no.

Yeah. Okay,

I thought you'd say that.

Brando, give me your phone,

will you?

Okay, I wanna show you something that

took place just a little while ago.

Stop...

Please, please...

Aw, Jesus.

I must have pressed

the wrong button.

But I think

you get the point, right?

Weirdest thing to me?

How guys have phones in there.

But it won't be close

to what the Shoemaker does

to him or you

or your loved ones.

The woman, Faith, her kid.

Ooh.

What's this?

Is this when we get to see the

old Ray I heard so much about?

No, but he's fucking knocking.

All right, all right.

Break it up, you two.

We're on the same team now.

I don't see what the problem is here.

You're gonna be safe with me.

I take care of my own.

I'll take care of you.

You must really hate this tree.

You're gonna be fun

to have around.

Good! Good, good, good!

All right. First things first.

Take care of the tree.

Herbicide, it's called.

Do your fucking pickup!

Ray, the tree can wait.

Fucking idiot Perry dumped his

bike on the way to the pickup.

Fucking... Fucking dumped his bike.

Forget the tree, just...

Subtle.

Likewise.

440 grand in here.

I don't have to tell you what my brother

will have me do if you run off on us.

How's Lupe?

Your buddy's in the infirmary.

He'll pull through.

- Get him a message.

- You really testing me right now?

You run errands for us,

not the other way.

Tell him I'm glad

I didn't leave him.

That is as cryptic as hell,

but sure.

Fuck it! I'll pass it on!

Guy's name is Ninni.

It's a public place.

It's called East Jesus.

Museum, there's some old junk.

Don't worry.

You'll fit right in.

Would you rather we start over?

Okay.

All right.

Not yet.

Fuck.

Isn't ketchup water the worst?

Mmm.

Yeah.

You know what I think about

when I eat chicken?

I think

how this used to be a T. rex.

Millions of years ago,

this guy's ancestor

was the most fearsome thing

to ever walk on land.

Then catastrophe hits.

And they had to shrink down,

evolve to this miserable

little creature,

so weak that its very name

means "coward."

Ah.

Yeah, I see what you did there.

That was... That was very clever, yeah.

Now we're gonna make this exchange,

or I'm just gonna fucking take it from you.

You do have some balls.

You wanna find out?

Excuse me, boys!

Do you guys mind moving out of the

way, maybe somewhere over there?

Please? Thanks.

All right, how's my hair?

Do we...

Do you wanna grab yours

and I'll grab mine?

Grayson won't even tell

his own brother what that is.

But Grayson loves a deal,

so it must be something big,

bigger than the 440

he's paying for it.

You got a guess?

You know, I've evolved

to be less curious.

I ain't done.

Yeah, you are.

Oh.

- Hey, babe!

- Hey.

Tried you at work.

Yeah, I'm... I'm not there.

I know. I can hear you driving.

So, where are you driving off to

in the middle of a Tuesday, Ray?

You know, nowhere much. Just...

nowhere much.

Something came up,

but I'm working on it.

Are you running, Ray?

I gotta call you back, okay?

Think I just got a flat tire.

Yeah.

Throw it in the Jeep!

It goes under the road!

Go back up!

Oh, man!

Okay, okay...

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

A little bit further.

Come on, mate. Come on, mate.

Okay.

What an idiot.

Ray?

Woman I've been chasing.

Well, you know what they say.

Man chases a woman

until she catches him.

Hey, baby.

It's bad.

- How bad?

- He got away.

He what?

With the money or the pickup?

- Both.

- Both?

Yeah, both days are good.

What the fuck?

Unlike Perry, this guy really

knows how to handle himself.

You were supposed to be able

to handle yourself.

You and your brother need

to make Ray disappear.

My brother's dead.

Shit!

Well, that makes things

a little harder.

I have never seen my brother

as excited about anything

as he is about this.

Must be a fortune.

I think I've figured out

which way this asshole went.

You better.

Otherwise, we're both fucked.

- Both of us?

- Yeah, Ninni. Handle this.

Or he's gonna slit

both of our throats.

Come on! Enough already!

Yeah, baby, I gotta go.

Fuck.

- All right, come on. Let's go.

- Where are we going?

Ray's house.

Just in case he gets

any ideas about running away.

Oh, Yes! Fuck yes!

No fucking handles.

- Do you have a gun?

- No!

No, I'm just trying to buy this car.

It's beautiful. What is it, '78?

- It's not mine to sell.

- Okay.

Do you have a car?

Well, you're not picky.

I'll also pay you

to use a phone.

No, I don't have a phone.

But I got a radio.

It's for the police.

Here, you wanna call 'em?

Oh...

What happened?

I was cleaning my shotgun and...

Wait. I thought you said

you didn't have a gun.

Oh, no. I don't have a gun here.

I don't have a gun here.

Look...

I'd like to invite you in,

but...

you seem like a certain type.

Little rough. No nonsense?

I'm not rough.

Some nonsense, but...

Come on.

Oh, hey, stay away from that area.

It's falling apart.

It's okay, mate.

- I don't wanna know.

- What?

I'm just saying I don't

care what you do out here.

I'm sure lots of people around

these parts cook, you know, stuff.

I don't judge.

You mean meth?

Oh! No,

that's not my thing.

- No, I say no to drugs.

- Me too.

I'm a beer guy.

- Beer, yeah.

- Hey, come on. I'll show you my man cave.

Yeah.

Boom!

Here's my man cave!

Wow.

So you live here?

Yeah. Just for now, yeah.

Why? Where do you live?

An old RV.

- What? Really?

- Yeah.

You know what really bugs me?

It's when people call 'em "motor homes"

instead of "recreational vehicles."

- Yes. Yes!

- But what's even worse

is when older people

call them all...

- Winnebagos!

- Winnebagos! Yeah.

Hey, my buds call me Billings.

I'm Ray.

Oh, yeah, part of the job

description is killing pests.

Shoot 'em,

blow up any gopher holes.

This right here

is called varmint killer.

- You... You good there, mate?

- Yeah, yeah.

It's just I'm out here in the middle

of nowhere using words like "varmint"

like I'm Yosemite Sam.

Well...

Hmm!

You know, I thought I was headed

towards a better life myself, but...

Well, delivery driver's

due this afternoon.

Maybe they can

take you to the next town.

- That or a phone.

- Hey. Hey.

I'm telling you, bro,

that shit's gotta come out.

My grandmammy told me

that the toughest asshole

can be taken down

by the tiniest piece of metal.

It's hospital or me.

You choose.

All right.

Yeah, come on!

Do-si-do. Here's my partner.

Hey, watch my collectibles.

This is Ray's life?

That's depressing.

I hate it when good things

happen to bad people.

World's gone nuts.

So, if he has skipped town on

us, what do you wanna do?

Well, the ancient Romans

used to take a guy,

put him in a sack with a dog,

a snake, and a monkey.

And just dump 'em in the river.

But we don't have

any of those things.

Not Ray.

Hey, baby!

There were some tracks.

They're gone now.

Sending you a map

of my location.

Can't be far.

Okay, baby. I gotta go, though.

You sure you don't want

any anesthesia?

- I really recommend it.

- No, I can't.

I have to stay conscious,

get back.

You have... You have an RV.

Where do you have to

get back to?

I got a tree to poison.

It's a long story.

I knew I should have done

this myself. I can't trust anybody else.

All right.

We'll come back

for the broad later.

Okay, Perry, drive.

Salton Sea.

I'll handle it.

You stay here.

I'm sorry, what?

What did you say, little brother?

You'll handle it?

What, you running things now?

I said I'll handle it.

- It's too valuable.

- Well, how much is it?

Fuck the money.

It's the package.

Well, what's in the package?

You'll see.

Along with

the rest of the world.

Yeah, that's good. That's good.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Seems like you would know.

Those other wounds.

Where'd they come from?

I'd rather forget.

I hear you.

A few years ago, I fell off a ladder

putting up the Christmas lights

and I... I broke the nerves

in this hand.

I can...

I can barely feel this hand.

Except for some nights...

you won't believe this,

it itches.

Hmm.

Okay, okay.

- Go slow, go slow.

- Yeah, yeah.

- So, what do I owe you for the patch?

- No, nothing. Nothing.

Mm-mmm.

I don't like to owe.

Let me buy the 'Vette.

- I'll give you 20 grand for it.

- I told you. It's not mine to sell.

You're killing me, Billings.

Come on.

Well, the patch may have been

free, but for the bottle.

Take it.

Rest a bit.

You rest.

East Jesus is not so far.

We should get back to the car.

I wanted to see this.

You know this lake

was made by accident?

Dam broke,

filled it with water.

When I was a kid,

this was a huge tourist destination.

Now, look at it. It's poison.

It stinks.

It's rotten.

It's depressing.

Nothing to be done.

It's the way of things.

Call it what you want,

entropy, whatever.

Our world is decaying

right before our eyes,

aging, dying.

It's going so fast,

we don't even notice it.

I noticed

it's getting worse out there.

Everybody's

at each other's throats.

That's different, okay?

That's not our fault.

- That's 'cause of something that happened ten years ago.

- Like what?

All right, I'm gonna tell you something

that I haven't told anybody, okay?

This is really important to me.

You ever hear of

the Mandela Effect?

- You're gonna tell me anyway, so...

- Shut up, asshole. Just listen.

It's named after the fact that

millions upon millions of people swear

that Nelson Mandela passed away

in prison in the 1980s.

So there's a discrepancy

between historical record

and what people remember.

And there are countless examples of it,

especially in popular culture, okay?

Um, um, um...

Darth Vader never said,

"Luke, I am your father," okay?

Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the

Lambs never said, "Hello, Clarice."

The Monopoly Man, okay?

The Monopoly Man never wore a monocle.

- An eyepiece. Yeah, he did...

- Yeah, yeah. No, he didn't.

The theory is, ten years ago, we split

into a parallel universe, a darker one.

Franky, what the fuck

are you talking about?

No, no, no!

I'm not alone on this, okay?

The effect explains

why society is acting so crazy,

why it's become

so divisive, okay?

Multiverses or time travelers

or powers beyond our control

are making us act this way.

It's not our fault!

We're being manipulated!

People think that it's hackers

or that it's propaganda...

- Son of a bitch.

- ...and it's not.

- I know!

- I could've sworn

- he was wearing an eyepiece!

- Okay, here's one!

And I swear to God this is true!

You remember

the comedian Sinbad, right?

Okay, Sinbad made a movie

about a genie.

Now I saw this movie!

Do you understand me?

Now people are saying it was never

made, but I'm telling you I saw it!

I can see it in my mind's eye!

I can see it

at the video store on the shelf!

- I believe you, boss.

- Will you shut up?

Shut up!

I'm talking to my fucking brother!

Get out of here!

Jesus! Goddamn it!

Listen, you've no doubt noticed

that I got a lot going on, right?

And I want you to know that I

appreciate everything you're doing,

the way that you're handling

everything you're handling.

You've been a real partner.

You've been a brother.

In a couple of days,

this will all be over, and we'll talk.

Come on. Let's go.

Hey, I think you

locked the door.

Billings!

I asked you to rest.

Is that why you locked me in?

I can't be letting

you leave just quite yet now, can I?

Wait a minute.

Your accent just changed.

Your whole thing just changed.

Well, you show up shot,

$20,000 on you.

Gotta be more to this story.

Okay, well, how's this?

Story's over, and you just made

yourself 20 grand. Sound good?

Where there's 20 grand,

I'll wager there is more.

Lots more.

You played me.

You waited till I dropped my

guard, and you played me.

I been waiting too long, son.

Waiting my whole fucking life.

You know, they lie to you.

They tell you,

if you just hang in there,

the world's

gonna give you your break,

your turn.

But it doesn't.

You gotta take everything you can

get, so here I am.

Taking.

Well, before you take from me,

just know that people

have killed for that money.

I've killed for that money.

Wait here.

No!

Open the fucking door, Billings!

Billings!

Fuck! Okay...

Fuck!

Okay. Drink up, bitch.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Another fucking lock.

Okay.

Ray, you should know

that I'm armed.

All right. I'm coming in, Ray.

I keep some traps out here, Ray,

but you know that now

'cause you don't need your legs

to show me

where the money's at, Ray.

You thought

we were playing checkers,

I was playing chess.

I'm really fucking good

at checkers!

Bags. Where?

- We gotta go.

- Sure, I'm gonna send you.

But first, where are the bags?

Look, you know I've gotta bring

Grayson the pickup, but...

I'll give you the rest of the

cash, and let's call it even.

We ain't yet even

for my brother.

Both bags. Where?

There. Look!

It's there?

Well, let me just turn around.

Yes! Turn the fuck around!

Oh!

Cutting me out of negotiations?

You wanna make a deal?

Try to cut me out?

I'm shooting to wound, Ray.

Trying to.

One way in,

one way out of there!

Hello?

This is Dr. Topaz.

Dr. To...

I'm sorry, do I...

Is Ray there?

I'm afraid to tell you

that Ray was in an accident.

It involved

a recreational vehicle.

I-Is he all right?

Sir, I'm his... I'm his girlfriend.

I'm Faith Dryer.

Well, Ms. Dryer,

he wouldn't be in a hospital

- if he were all right.

- Fuck, fuck, fuck. No.

No, Faith, no!

He's limping along.

Okay, well,

we're at the end of a dirt road.

How stat can you be here?

Um... two hours.

I just... I have to get a sitter.

Okay. See you soon, Ms. Dryer.

Be quick, but don't hurry.

Okay.

Two hours,

she's gonna drive right to me.

Unless you wanna tell me where

the money and this pickup bag is.

I can give you

the rest of the cash.

Another 420 grand!

Whoo!

Now we're cooking with gas!

And what of this talk

of your pickup?

- I can't give you the pickup!

- You can't?

If I don't go back

with the pickup,

then my li...

my family's life...

it won't be worth a thing.

Well, your life

isn't worth much right now.

I'm sorry.

That sounded cynical.

So we making a deal or what?

- Tell me where it is.

- I'll go get it.

Hmm.

Because the cash

and this other bag

are in the same spot, huh?

And I gotta guess,

whatever it is,

it's worth about the same

as the money, right?

It was a trade, correct?

Just give me ten minutes

to go get it.

I can trust you

and maybe get half the wealth.

Or I could torture you

and get it all.

Hmm, I think I'll go with B,

torture, all.

It's a matter of time, Ray!

Got you, motherfucker.

- Ugh!

- I see it now,

the Yosemite Sam resemblance,

uncanny.

- You fucking poisoned me?

- Maybe.

Gambling it works

on people, but...

You're dead!

I'm not sure

you got the time, bud!

I'll fucking kill you, man!

You're dead!

I'll fucking kill you

and your girl!

Okay. Where's the gun?

Goddamn it, Ray!

Oh, my God.

Are you okay...

Fuck!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I'm gonna get you

out of here, okay?

Sure, you will.

You're here to take me.

Take you?

No, I want out of here too.

Ray!

He's looking for me.

Okay.

The name's Ray.

What's yours?

What are we, friends?

Common enemy?

Yeah, he did that to you?

Some of it. Look.

I got a woman

and her kid waiting for me.

The thought of not seeing them

again hurts more than any of this.

So you'd better believe I'm getting

out of this hell hole and back to them.

Okay? Okay.

Tara, I've... I've been here

five days, I think. Um...

He grabbed me off the road.

What, were you

running away from home?

I never really had a home

to run away from.

Well, you know,

you shouldn't hitchhike.

I didn't.

Good, because...

you shouldn't.

- Maybe you're about done?

- Yeah.

Ah, shit!

I think that's for me.

He said that he's expecting

a truck to come,

but I don't know

where it's going.

Doesn't matter. 'Cause you ain't

never getting on it, all right?

Come on, come on...

- Any problems?

- Not a one!

- You're early.

- Yeah, by, like, two minutes.

That's right. That's okay.

You just wait right here.

I'll go get her.

No, I'd like to see what I'm

picking up before I pick it up.

No problem.

You're the expert.

Come on. Come on in.

Please don't leave me.

I'm not gonna leave you,

because we're both getting out of here.

But, first...

first, I gotta leave you.

No!

Shh. Trust me.

Ah. There she is.

Are you okay?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- Okay?

- How much is she worth?

Well, I'm not gonna

inspect her teeth.

It's okay.

Bring her upstairs.

Come on. Come on.

When you load her, lock her up.

And hurry up.

I got a long drive.

Yes, ma'am.

Wait, wait. You hear something?

Get the fuck back!

Get the fuck back! You okay?

Don't scream.

Why did you cover my mouth?

I thought that would work.

I'm sorry.

- Look.

- They'll find us by the car.

And they'll find us

in the desert.

We need to double back

for the car.

And then I'm gonna take you

anywhere you wanna go.

Name it.

I've been squatting

over in Slab City.

I should be okay there.

Well, we'll worry

about that later.

Can you run?

- Can you run?

- No.

But I am gonna hobble like hell.

Wait.

Not just yet.

I should have told you

about him.

Very unprofessional of me.

But don't worry.

Neither of them can get too far.

I can fix this.

Yeah. You've done

a bang-up job so far.

Hey, they're definitely

in here.

Lot of reasons

to be careful.

Look at my face.

This was supposed to

be fucking simple.

I wanna get the

fuck out of here.

Wait. There's blood.

Just follow my lead.

Come here.

Okay, three...

No! Two, one.

What is this

doing here?

He must have moved it.

I keep some traps

around for protection.

Oh, my God. Help me.

Can you help me right now?

Shh, shh, shh. Hello?

- Doctor here.

- Dr. Topaz?

- Help me!

- Speaking.

Hi. It's Faith Dryer.

I'm calling about...

Ray, yes, yes.

Well, it's a pleasure

to hear from you again,

Ms. Dryer.

Sorry, what was that

in the background?

- Oh, my God!

- Hold one moment, please?

Oh, my God.

Help me, fucking idiot.

I'm back.

- Can you hear me now?

- Yes, thank you.

How's Ray?

I have to admit,

he's doing much better

than I expected.

The guy won't quit.

Do you have your ETA?

Uh, we are about...

- 30 minutes away.

- We?

Yeah, my son.

I couldn't get a sitter.

No problem whatsoever.

I'll tell you what.

I will send a security guard

to meet you.

He's a burly man with a beard.

Okay, thank you.

- You good?

- Okay, yeah, yeah. Go!

Oh! Fuck this. Stand back.

No, no, no, no!

Remote shut-off. Shit! Shit!

He told me this wasn't his car!

Go! Just run! Just run!

Go, go! Go, Tara.

Go, go, go, go, go! Run! Run!

Run, Tara, run!

No!

Still got it.

I don't feel like fighting you.

Best believe

I feel like killing you!

Fuck!

For the love of God, Montresor!

You gotta start

thinking about your woman.

Think about Faith.

Oh...

And that kid that's with her.

Yeah, son.

They'll both be here

in, say, 20 minutes?

Faith's smart!

She's not gonna just

walk into your place!

You mean like you did?

Yeah, I mean,

you're probably right.

That's why I'm gonna meet her

at the access road.

I'm sorry, meet "them"

at the access road.

If I tell you

where the bags are...

- When you tell me where the bags are.

- ...will you let 'em go?

Will you trust my answer?

I can be less cynical.

I probably don't even

have time to kill 'em.

All this death here,

people are gonna come looking.

I need a head start.

This money gets me far

and away.

Rusted car husk at the speedway.

I put it under the hood.

Yeah!

$440,000?

420 now. You already got 20.

All right, then.

Fuck!

Action time.

Oh, shit.

- Door's coming off!

- Oh, shit!

Check and mate.

Any last words?

I...

Good enough.

Well, there's gotta

be a story here.

I'm the victim here!

I'm just disappointed is all.

I heard so many clever

things about you, Ray.

But I guess I get the

backstabbing murder side

of the old habits,

don't I?

I already told you.

He killed them.

He was trying to steal

the money, the pickup.

Unless you and the twins

always planned

on double-crossing us.

Split it with this asshole here

until greed

got the better of you?

I'm just an innocent bystander.

This stranger,

he just came in,

and he was trying to threaten

me, and I was just...

All right.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm just gonna cut the shit

and level with you.

The sharp dresser

is mostly right.

Me and Ray go way back.

He called me,

and he said he needed a place

to stash, and I quote,

"440,000 buckaroonies."

But then he killed that man,

and since then,

I've just been trying to survive.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I started to tune out at "buckaroonies."

You know, before you get too

chummy with this fucking guy,

you should know that he is a dirty,

murdering, fucking child trafficker!

If you survive this,

we'll talk.

Oh, so you're

a piece of shit too.

The world changed.

It's under the hood.

Really?

Go look.

Well, I expected more

out of you.

You worked for the Shoemaker.

Thought you'd learn

how to hide money and things.

Maybe some of it

would've rubbed off on you.

Yeah, well,

I'm sorry to disappoint.

Frankie, the package!

Give it, here. Here, here.

- Where's the cash?

- You have it.

- I don't have it.

- Yes, you do.

- I don't have it!

- Yes, you do!

- You have it!

- Shut up, both of you!

First things first!

Gorgeous.

- That's it?

- This is it!

Really?

Fucking move.

Yes, yes...

Yes!

Yeah. This is it!

This proves it!

The Mandela Effect is real!

It's real?

The world has changed,

and it's not our fault.

You're all witnesses to it.

I give this gift...

to all mankind.

Get the VCR.

Yeah, I've seen this.

This is...

This is Kazaam.

You actually bought

four copies of Kazaam.

- Shazaam.

- No, Kazaam.

Kazaam. They're

both genie movies.

But this one is

the Shaquille O'Neal vehicle.

- It's Shazaam.

- That's a good Photoshop, though.

Why does she want this?

What the hell?

$440,000 for this?

Yo soy Kazaam!

Oh, she

got you.

What a waste of

440,000 buckaroonies.

But Shaq's really

grounded in this scene.

He's so much better than LeBron.

- Plus, he's got all these commercials...

- Shut up.

It's just depressing is all.

I thought this would prove it.

Why is the world

so crazy?

I mean,

it's poisoned.

It's... toxic.

And there's nothing

to be done.

Fucking sucks.

I guess

it's on us.

I mean, it'd be easier if we can blame

the universe changing or time travelers.

But maybe everything right now

is our own damn fault.

Just shut the fuck up.

Get behind the wheel

or I'll put you

behind the car.

Get out of here.

Hey! What was that for?

All right.

Tapes are gone.

They're worthless.

Might as well get

my money back.

- Where is it?

- I'll tell you what happened.

Your brother

double-crossed you.

He and the twins were gonna

steal everything and kill Perry,

- but I got sent instead.

- Bullshit.

Frankie, the guy's

a professional liar.

All they had to do was make

it look like I'd run off.

There was a time that would have

been easier. All I did was run.

Even if it was true,

which it isn't,

he'd still know

where the money is, right?

Where's the money?

It's in that car,

last I saw it.

Oh, shit!

All right.

I'm calling the Shoemaker.

Maybe your death

will be a peace offering,

you and your friend

in prison.

The only person I told

is Billings.

Hey! Don't you

put that on me, bro!

I'd be long gone

if I had the money!

Oh, Shit.

You stand,

you die.

Somebody wants

to talk to you.

What's the matter, Ray?

You don't wanna talk?

All right. On my signal,

take him around again.

Only twice as long

and twice as fast.

She must have overheard me

and Ray! Beat us to it!

She's got the cash!

Chase her down!

Is that true?

She's got the cash?

Your brother...

asked when you were

gonna see the old me.

Yeah.

You said you were knocking.

Well, I'm waiting.

I let him in.

What?

Perry! Perry!

Perry, stop!

- Perry, wait!

- Fucker.

Oh, f...

Okay.

Oh, geez. No.

No, no, no, no, no...

I'm gonna borrow these firearms.

Can never have enough.

Tara!

I'm fine!

Find a damn gun!

Okay.

Great. More running.

One shot.

Can you make

your one shot count?

You're a mess, Ray!

In a few steps...

I will be in range

and one of these pistols

will kill you!

Believe that.

Oh...

Okay.

Okay, I always like

a good Western.

High Noon, Shane.

Cowboy Bebop?

I never saw you

as the anime type.

You never asked.

I gotta call range!

Check and mate...

You... You...

Billings!

Billings, stop! Stop!

Ray...

You're not Yosemite Sam.

Just grazed me!

You're Wile E. Coyote.

Check and mate.

Oh, what a fucking day.

What?

Shit!

Hello?

Faith!

Are you okay?

Ray! Are you okay?

I am now.

But it's best if you and Julian just

turn around, okay? Get out of here.

I'm... But I'm right here.

And I want to be with you

more than anything.

But trust me. I will explain everything

when I see you in a few hours.

Everything.

Even the things

that I wanted to forget.

Echoes from my past.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry that even a whisper of them

came close to you and Julian.

But I'll never

let that happen again.

It's all behind me.

Hey, remember when you said,

with Julian, I was halfway there?

Yeah.

I think I just picked up

the other half.

A kid I found.

She needs what I need.

She needs it

just as much as I do.

What is it that you need?

I just need...

to get...

home.

Just like

you thought.

Shoemaker always was

good at hiding things.

We should

get rid of this.

It's nothing

but trouble.

That's not me anymore.
