They got Al.

If that cop dies, he'll face a murder rap.

I'd hate to be in your shoes if that's true.

Walt is sure crazy about that kid.

He got the jump on me, Walt.

Before I could do anything,

he drove the truck away.

Yeah, I saw it.

But I managed to bring him

back here. For you, Walt.

- You ran out on us.

- I never was in with you.

He tipped the copper too

by blinking his lights.

I ought to kill you.

You pulled the truck right out from

under Al. Now the cops have got him.

If he burns...

You know, I got an idea.

I'm gonna make it easy on both of us.

Yeah, yeah, that's it.

You go to the cops and say you did it.

You talked Al into it. He's just a kid.

He didn't know what the job was about.

You're crazy.

You can't frame me. I wasn't in on this deal.

Hello? Police headquarters?

Thought you'd like to know

the number of that truck...

...in the warehouse robbery tonight.

It's 1C002D.

well, you're in it now,

Steve, with both feet.

I can prove I'm innocent.

You're going there. Tell them

Al had nothing to do with it.

STEVE:
You're crazy. I'm getting out of here.

[GRUNTS]

I think we can convince

him to go to the police.

[BLOWS LANDING, STEVE GRUNTING]

Hold it.

Change your mind?

Change your mind, Steve?

You outsmarted yourself this time, Walt.

If I have to take a murder rap for Al...

...you might as well kill me here.

Say, I'll bet that new

bride of yours is pretty.

How about it, Steve?

- Pick her up.

- No, no. wait a minute.

Going to the police?

Yeah.

while you're there, we'll have the missus.

I don't care what you tell them...

...but if Al doesn't walk out of

that police station by midnight...

...your wife ain't gonna

be so good to look at.

[HUMMING]

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello? STEVE:
Hello, Anne?

- Steve.

- Now, listen carefully, honey.

- You've gotta get out of the house.

- Out of the house? But why?

I can't explain now. Throw a

few things in a bag and hurry.

But, darling, I don't

understand. what's it all about?

Look, go down to the northwest terminal.

Get on the northbound limited. I'll find you.

Oh, please, please tell

me, Steve, what's wrong?

Northwest terminal. You got it?

Yes, yes, I've got it. Northwest

terminal. But, darling, l...

Steve.

Steve. Hello?

[HORN BLARING]

Oh, Steve.

- Steve, your face.

- Shh.

Darling. Darling, you're hurt.

- Oh, I gotta get some water.

- No, wait.

what happened?

were you...? were you in an accident?

Yeah, an accident.

Did you hurt somebody?

I don't know.

where are we going?

Oh, Steve, I don't understand.

why are we running away?

Look.

Look, if you're in some kind of

trouble, why don't you go the police?

I can't.

No questions. Let's get some rest. I'm tired.
