MAN:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wipe that off your face.

No one's being violent.

Hey, that's a girl, you animal!

MAN:
Who gives a sh*t?

Who the hell are you? I'm cuffing

you till the cops get here.

(DOG BARKING)

Come on, come on.

(YELLING)

What are you doing?!

(DOG BARKING)

Stop, you stinking trash!

(GRUNTING)

Come on. Get in.

SARAH:
Go, go, go.

Are you hurt?

I can help you.

No, I'm okay.

Just hungry.

LUCA:
I know

a good place to eat.

Eat these.

You need some sugar.

I'm going to dive the next one.

Stay here.

(LINE RINGING)

Trevor was a fed.

I've been following a fed.

JIM:
Jesus Christ.

I'm in some weird van.

(SIGHS DEEPLY) What

are you going to do?

I'm going to check into a hotel.

Take a shower.

Jane?

Let me call you back.

(OBJECTS RATTLING)

(WHIMPERING)

(GASPS)

They're good, yeah?

Let me see that arm.

No, I'm fine.

Hold on.

Is that from the fence?

You need stitches.

I can't go to a hospital.

Do you have a phone?

(KEYPAD BEEPING)

You only have nine numbers.

(LINE RINGING)

What are you doing?

You want our help?

Don't...

WOMAN:
Hello?

Sarah, are you there?

Just say something, honey,

so I know you're okay.

The dogs miss you.

All right, I'll talk

and you can listen.

You don't have to say anything

if you don't want to.

Sarah...

Sarah?

(SARAH EXCLAIMS)

(PHONE BEEPS)

What is this, Luca? I thought you

were scavenging for the jam.

I was.

She's in trouble, dude.

No, Luca, she needs to go.

She needs to see Doc.

You should talk to Benji first.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Doc?

This is Sarah. She slipped the cops.

She's got a bad gash.

Benji know?

Sit down.

Drink this.

It'll numb the pain.

I'm okay.

It's no chemical.

Purely vegetal.

What is that?

Superglue.

That doesn't seem safe.

It's a trick I learned in med school.

It's perfectly safe.

You're a real doctor.

Uh, sort of.

Most people don't like to look.

I'm looking because

I don't want to.

My uncle has Parkinson's.

That's not Parkinson's.

I was in Kenya as an aid worker

and I took an antibiotic

called Denoxin.

Had an adverse reaction.

Snapped tendons,

seizures, brain damage.

From an antibiotic?

Did you sue them?

Oh, no. Those side effects are

listed on the side of the bottle.

That's how they rape you.

In broad daylight.

I feel... l feel dizzy.

Do you have water?

Just relax.

Don't fight it.

(RETCHING) Don't fight it.

Don't fight it.

(SARAH COUGHING)

(SARAH GASPING)

You smell like soap.

I snuck into a hotel.

I'm just here to watch you.

I snuck into a hotel.

Who's deaf in your family?

No one.

My friend growing up.

What's your name?

Uh...

Sarah.

Hmm. I'm Eve.
