day and night." I wanna lights on.

-Want a cup of coffee, Nick?

-Turn 'em on.

He's checkin' the hookup.

Well, hurry up.

I wanna see lights on.

Turn on.

Where the hell is it, anyhow?

Go around there,

he said it's around to the left.

Yeah, I think I've found it.

He would have found us anyway.

You don't know him, Frank.

He would've followed us,

and he would have found us.

Don't lose sleep over it, Cora.

I'm just disappointed.

I thought we had somethin'.

You just don't know what it's like.

Bein' a woman,

trapped in this kind of....

You don't, you don't know.

There's always a way, Cora.

If we stick together.

I didn't know what to do.

Cora!

I've got to have you, Frank.

If it was just us....

If it was just you and me.

What are you talking about?

I'm getting tired

of what's right and wrong.

They hang people for that, Cora.

Cora!

Come here!

Hey, Frank, it look good

from here, uh?

Yeah. It's a hell of an idea you had.

Hey, neon, huh? Neon.

All right?

Ah, ring twice for danger.

And the door?

Locked from the inside.

And then down the ladder

and that's it.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

Do you love me, Frank?

Sure.

You know I do.

Don't worry about anything, okay?

Don't tell me that.

Evening.

You knew I had to stop here, didn't ya?

She's beautiful.

I come by here all the time.

When'd you put her up?

-Just today.

-Had to be.

What was that?

-There's a damn cat up there.

-Oh, yeah.

Hey, they sound a lot like

babies cryin' sometimes, don't they?

Yes, they do.

Well, I expect I ought to

get back to work.

Yeah, well, we all got to sometime,

that's for sure.

That's for sure. Take care now.

Yeah, I'll do that.

Frank, get over here!

Oh, my God!

What happened to the light?

I hit him! I hit him!

-What happened?

-I hit him and all the lights went out!

Get on the phone. Call an ambulance.

The cop came by and saw everything.

-The cop? What cop?

-Get on the phone!

We're gonna die for this!

Hello, Nick.

Nick, wake up.

Come on, Nick. Come on, Nick.

Nick, wake up.

We'll know for sure

after we see the tests.

It'll be about a week.

All of a week.

Can I have the book, please?

Thanks.

All he knows, it went dark.

If he'd have turned around, Frank,

they'd have hanged us for it.

And something,

something put that cop there.

It's an act of God,

those lights went out.

Don't look back.

-What?

-Don't look back. It's a cop.

-His red light's on.

-Oh, God.

No, no, leave 'em on.

Bathroom upstairs?

Ah, yeah.

What's the ladder doin' there?

I don't know.

Hey, come here.

All right. Sure.

Hey.

Cover's off this fuse box up here.

I'd say that sucker stuck a paw in it.

Fried him deader than hell.

Yeah. How about that?
