# If I could have the choice

# I'd want to be an action figure

# And if I could have a voice

# to go with it. It'd be a lot bigger.

# I wanna be an action figure...

# I wanna be an action figure

# I wanna be an action figure

# an action figure

Ahh!

Cut! Who the hell is that?

- I don't believe it!
- What happened?



Gary, again!

Will somebody kill that guy, please?

I'm sorry, I didn't know...

Go tell it to the director.
He's about to be tranquilized.

Clones, come back with me
to the trailer.

We'll retouch and reshoot.

So what about later?

At the roadhouse? Dancing?
You said you'd think about it.

No, you asked me to think about it.

And I said I was busy, sorry.

Angie?

See you later.

Yeah, good-bye.

Jennifer, help me with
this equipment, please.



I'm helping Rollie do make-up.

Since when?

I am supposed to have
a real job here.

Carrying the F/X equipment
is a real job.

I'm not your slave, okay?

Slave? Is that reach?

You're like a tourist here!

You don't do anything!

- Problems?
- Yeah,

- Angie's got this attitude...
- I do?

Yeah, I didn't ask to be here, okay.

Mira said it'd be a couple days.
So, where is she?

I think we'd all like the
answer to that one now.

They picked up the papers
at the marshal's office.

Jennifer testifies to
the Grand Jury tomorrow.

Then she's in the witness
protection program.

So tell me you're on your way
to get her, right?

Sorry, she's a handful, I know.

Why do you guys always shoot
in the middle of nowhere?

So we can blow things up
and no one will care.

Why didn't I think of that?

Listen, thanks again.

I don't know where else
I could've stashed her.

Bobby merchant's got the word out,
believe me.

What it is, Earl?

We're under pressure now
because we're players.

They're taking us seriously, so we...

gotta be serious.

Smart, strong, organized.

Feed the crap to the pigs, Bobby.

Trouble's not with me,
and you know it.

They're takin' us serious,

because they finally got a snitch.

And we know who brought her in,
don't we, Mr. Organizer?

It's old news, Earl.
It's being dealt with.

And that stuff about
the feds movin' in,

that's crap too, huh?

You got a lot of big ideas, man,

but you're not taking
care of business.

I don't need a lecture
on business from a dinosaur!

Dinosaurs lasted a long time, Bobby.

What do you think your chances are?

You punk.

Look at the garbage
I gotta deal with.

Lock him up!

- Bob?
- What?

It's her, Bobby. We got her, man,
we got Jennifer.

How long ago did you see her?

Now, she's here right now.

And I got more pictures, too.

There's a reward,
I mean not that's why I do this.

- Bobby, 'cause...
- You'll get it.

I got it. I'm glad to do it, Bobby.

I know a lot of your guys up here.
Really like the way you op...

Get our people there...

now.

So you heard, huh?

Where is she?

Upstate.

Hastings county. Some movie set.

I guess the cop must've
called in a favor.

What will happen?

She's done too much damage.

Even if she never testifies.

I got no choice.

I know.

I wonder where I'll end up.

- Probably some hole somewhere.
- Steven, put that in the truck.

Wherever it is,
Jennifer Elliot will cease to exist.

Yep, that's the only good thing
about this mess.

Nothing you'll miss? Family?

Yeah, right.
Like they've done so much for me.

They know, they know, they know!

Get back in the truck.
Go on. Stay there.

Rollie, I just passed two Saracens
at the turn off.

There's one here, too.
There's a chapter in Lewisville.

Yeah, there's chapters everywhere.

Couldn't this be a coincidence?
How could they have found her?

Why you're here! Get out of here!

- I'll get back to you.
- Get out of here! Now!

I'm sorry!

- What's going on?
- Rolie, please,

tell her I didn't mean anything.

He walked in here!
He was after my purse!

I was not! I was leaving these
on the table, for Angie!

- I...
- Gary, why don't you just...

- Yeah, I'm sorry.
- Go on, go.

- What'd I miss?
- It's for you.

Hm, great, pictures of me
from bad angles.

I just saw Gary upset.
Why'd he come here?

Because he wasn't looking for you!
He was looking for me!

The cop is alone?

She's in an NYPD unmarked.

Maybe it's just a visit.

Yeah, right. She's taking her out.

The Grand Jury's happening.
Keep me posted.

That's Sanchez, the cop.

And she's up there now?
With Jennifer?

Yeah,

looks like we're headed
for a showdown.

Bobby?

Nice to meet you, man.

You don't get up here enough.
I'm Jake.

So where's the rest, Jake?

Some of them on the movie set
checking things out.

This is the only road
outta here, right?

You gotta come through here.

Boys, want a beer?

I'm working.

So are you.

Another one just rode in.

- Hey, you look great!
- The hair's all wrong.

If you think any man's gonna notice
that, you've gotta be kidding.

I feel very weird.

Just be natural.

Yeah, right.

Don't feel it loose. Just leave it.

So what's going on
with Gary out there?

He seems pretty chummy
with the Saracens.

If you think it's weird now...

try this.

Now Jennifer,

all we have to do
is get you past the Saracens.

- Can I talk to you, Angie?
- Not now, we're in a hurry.

- Ready?
- Ready.

All right.

I have had it with you, Jennifer!

You do what you want, okay?

I am not your baby-sitter!

You get in that car right now or
you're on your own, you hear me?

It's over!

- Fine!
- Fine! Fine! Fine!

Jennifer, okay, you're on your own.

Good bye and good luck!

There they are.

Hey. Look in the mirror...

Who do you see?

Angie.

That's right, you're Angie.

There's no need to panic.

What's up?

Somebody wants to meet you.

A movie buff?

- Could be.
- We're in a bit of a rush.

On the other hand it's always good
to keep in touch with one's public.

Yeah. Over here.

It's Bobby - he'll know me.

Not if you don't panic.

So you're Tyler...

- And this is...?
- Angie.

Angie Ramirez. We work together.

Oh, yeah?

What's this about?

I understand you also work with
friend of mine, Jennifer Elliot.

You understand right.

- How's she doing?
- She's a pain in the butt.

Ha, ha!

Yeah, I hear you.

So she's out there right now?

Not many other places to go
around here, now, is there?

Well, maybe we'll stop by, huh?

Say hello.

We used to be pretty close.

No sign of her.

Alright, you've searched the truck.
Is there anything else you want?

What'd you say your name was?

Ahem, Angie.

You got a cold, Angie?

She's been sick as a dog all week,
as a matter of fact.

We're on our way now to Lewisville
to see a doctor.

Yeah.

Here something's happened, Bobby.

Look bro, the cop's takin' off
without Jennifer!

- What?
- Yeah, she's alone, in her trailer.

You folks have a nice day. Let's go.

What do you mean "pain in the butt"?

He seemed to know what
I was talking about.

Well?

We're through. Bobby's on his way.

Right, so far so good.

Yeah, so far so good.

Here comes Bobby...

There goes Bobby...

- Did he look?
- He looked.

Hey, maybe we'd better...

wait!

What? We're safe now, aren't we?

Bobby?

I'm Gary, it's a real pleasure.

She's over there.

So how do you want to handle this?

Those guys are in the movie?

Fantastic, huh?

It's makeup.
They look nothin' like each other.

Tyler does that.
It's his specialty.

She's here, Bobby, I know it!

Where? Where is she?

Huh?!

Bobby...

Uhh!

There it is.

Uh, just in case, what's plan B?

Okay.

We're clear.

I'd certainly hope so.

Tyler.

Well?

- See you at the farm.
- We'll be there.

Settle back.

Flat!

- What?
- Flat as a pancake.

Angie, it's a trap!

Ladies, hold it right there.

Why don't we just find a station
and stick with it?

Or we could do that.

You know you just don't understand.

Are we still with the
"pain in the butt" thing?

I lived with Bobby
over year and a half.

He loved me and I know it.
That was great.

Maybe I should... I shouldn't
have gone to the cops and everything,

but I didn't know what else to do.

He hurt me so bad, and it was like,

like it didn't even matter to him.
Him and Deanna just...

She's my sister.

It's black.
It's got "FX" on the side.

She's with some guy named Tyler.

- Candy...
- Deanna, I thought you were gone.

First things first.

When I was a kid she was
in trouble all the time,

boys, drugs,
stealing stuff, whatever.

Then she turns around and becomes,

you know, Mary Poppins.

So, suddenly, I can't do anything.

I mean, I don't even have
the right to my own life.

Didn't you ever think that

she might have just
been looking out for you?

Yeah, right.

She hated me being with Bobby,

so she had to go
and see him personally!

- And?
- And what do you think?

She couldn't stand to see
me happy so she stole him.

My own sister.

Can you drive this thing?

Yeah, I can drive anything, why?

- Oh, god.
- Get up here! Get up here!

Slide your bod across me.
Get across, right across.

That's it. Ow! Shit.

- Hold it steady.
- Alright, what are we going on?

It's all yours, you got it.

Ahh!

Sorry!

The posse just tripled in size!

One of them's trying to pass!

Don't let him!

- What are you gonna do now?
- I'm workin' on it!

Keep her steady!

I'm trying!

Get on!

Come on, come on!

One of them is still on us.

Hit the brakes!

Go!

There's still two of them with us.

Rollie, he's lost his passenger.

There's only one place he can be!

What can he do up there?

- Let me take over.
- Okay.

Alright, go!

What're we gonna do?

Hang on to something.
This, there, go.

What was that sound?

The little bit that didn't make it.

Which way?

You didn't follow 'em!

Eddie's leg is broke, Bobby.

Jay's worse.

They can't get far.
The van's too easy to spot.

He's right, Bobby.
They gotta hole up someplace.

- Where are they?
- How would I know?

- One more time.
- She's not lying!

You think we're gonna die
to save that little bitch?

- You okay?
- Oh, yeah, we're just dandy, thanks.

They're forcin' me to do this.

See that.

My camera bag,
there's a blade in the strap.

Get to one of the bikes
behind the van.

Just remember I did this!

Bobby wants everyone
to get close circle tight!

Yeah, got it.

We just won't send them.

You know what he's gonna do to me?

We're way past that, Candy.

All of that is over.

So, this is where you shot Pitchfork?

Pitchfork III...

the final testament.

You would've been good in it.

How do you want to play this, Bobby?

What are we gonna do, man?

Yeah, alright.

I'm done.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Go! Go! Come on!

What?

Got a proposition for you.

We've lost the sat dish.
The sat link's gone.

My roof looks like Swiss cheese.

It's gonna run 5 or 6 grand at least.

Sorry, I'll ask the feds
to send you a cheque.

- That's very funny.
- Hey, what about your cell phone?

- We are in a dead zone.
- Terrific...

Yeah, it's gonna be,
as soon as your babysitter shows up.

I don't believe it!

I won't ask you where you got it.

Saracen cycle, test drive.

- No one followed you?
- The route we took?

How's everything here?

- Don't get me started.
- I said I'm sorry! Okay?

When this is over, you and me -

- we have to talk about it.
- Fine!

Come on, let's get out of here.

There was no one behind us!
How did they find us?

Ow!

- A tracker?
- Gary...

He set us up!

Shouldn't be long before
the troops arrive.

A movie guy and three women.

I think we can handle it.

They're just sitting there!

- There's two bags of fertilizer.
- Set up in the loft.

I got this for the heavy stuff.

That's a cop in there, Bobby.

I mean, why not just talk to them.

You see, the thing is, this has gone
farther than I thought it would already.

And I've done everything
that I could do but...

- You want your money?
- Hey, I didn't say that.

Go home, you'll get it tomorrow.

I knew I could trust you guys.

Thanks, Bobby.

Well, I hope Deanna's happy now.

What are you talkin' about?

Well, this is what she wanted,
isn't it?

You still don't get it, do you?

Get what? That she took Bobby from me?
I don't get that.

She hates Bobby.
He makes her skin crawl.

She did what she did
to get you away from him.

Because it was the only way.

No, I don't believe you.

How could you know that?

When she found out I caught your case,
she called me.

She wants make sure that
I could keep you safe.

I don't know if you have
any concept of gratitude.

Frankly, I doubt it.

But what Deanna did for you...

and she didn't want me to tell you.

Trust that guy?

Nope.

Jennifer, get out with Angie.

What are those?

They fake bullet hits.
Just keep making them.

- Mira, you okay?
- Oh, yeah, right,

an air gun, with plastic
balls full of dust.

Great arsenal we've got here.

Here they come.

Where did they get the gun?

Nothin' in that truck,
just movie stuff!

Whoa!

It's movie stuff!
They got no weapons!

Deke's not gettin' up, Bobby.
This ain't movie stuff!

Let's get out of here!

They're leaving!

They'll be back.

Come on. Where's the riders
you promised me, huh?

- What's Candy doing?
- Can't reach him.

Guys'll be here.

All right Jake, go up to road,
make sure they know where we're at.

We surprised 'em that time.
Won't happen again.

May be we can get Angela and
Jennifer out of here on the bike.

No, wait.
I'm not leaving to get you alone.

Look, I'm the one they're after.
It's all my fault.

We passed that point
a long time ago, Jennifer.

We're all in it together.
So let's just get on with it!

What took so long?

Where's the others?

They're makin' a run for it!

They stalled it.

Let's go!

They're trapped!

Ahh!

Hold still, guys.

Uhh!

Where you goin', Jenn?

A standoff?

Give it up, Bobby.

Why?

We're here. Come on, let's play
it out the old-fashioned way.

'Cause you know where my first
round's going, right.

Do you hear that?

The Saracens are a very big family.

So maybe, I don't know...
you know, you ought to give it up.

Get your friend Tyler
where I can see him!

Now! Do it!

Right here, Bobby.

Over here, Jake!

It's not Jake, Bobby.

Uhh!

It's me.

That's enough.

He's done.

Right.

He's done,

okay.

Uhh!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry...

The sister.

Yup.

And the man.

Think there's a lesson
in here somewhere?

I'd say so.

But did Jennifer get it?

Stay tuned.

Now, about my truck...

What about your truck?
