Hey, no. | Hey, Molly. Molly.

There's something | I need to show you.

What do we do?

Under normal circumstances | I'd call the police, but--

Are you positive he was | going to kill her?

Am I positive? | No, Molly. I'm not.

I'm sure it's standard | police procedure

to smash a rock into the back | of a suspect's head.

Don't yell at me. | I'm just trying to understand.

- I say we leave. | - What?

We leave her in the cabin | and we get the hell out of town.

She needs a doctor. | We can't just leave her here.

Molly, if I'm going to own up to this | and explain myself,

I'm doing it by phone | from my lawyer's office in New York.

- Robert, look at her. | - Look at me.

I've got blood on me--

from two different people.

- Okay. | - Okay.

Just pack up our clothes. | Just leave everything else.

Hurry.

( door slams )

- ( engine sputtering ) | - No! No!

( woman screams )

You're okay. You're okay. | You're okay. Shh.

- ( crying ) | - It's all over.

It's okay. It's okay.

You're safe now. | Shh.

Don't you do this to me.

- ( engine starts ) | - Oh, God, yes!

Molly?

( whispers ) | I'm right here.

- What are you doing? | - I'm not leaving her.

Molly... as much as you and l | would like to do the right thing

something tells me to leave | good enough alone and run.

If we can't trust the law, | what choice do we have?

I saved her life. Beyond that | she is not our responsibility.

- I know. | - Okay.

But I'm making her | my responsibility.

Where are you going?

It's not like you can snap your fingers | and make everything go away.

We're going to have company.

I'm gonna have to go | and clean up.

( sighs )

Ah--!

Oh, God.

( grunting )

Ah!

( thunder rumbles )

- Man on radio:
Sheriff Dodd... | - Jesus.

please respond. What's your 20?

Oh my God.

( whispers ) | Robert. Robert.

Did you kill him?

Yeah.

Good.

my name is Robert.

Molly told me.

I'm Rae. | Short for Regina.

- Feeling any better? | - It hurts to breathe sometimes,

but I think I'm | just bruised mostly.

I don't even want to know | what I look like.

I know you must have a lot | of questions about...

what happened out there,

specifically what happened | while you were unconscious.

Where is he? | Where is Sheriff Dodd?

He won't ever be able | to hurt you again.

Rae, I think it's important right now | to focus on how you got there.

Would you be in danger | if you were to go back home?

- No, no, I can't go back. | - Why?

Do you have any family | we need to contact, or friends?

No, I've got no one.

But Rae, if we're going to help | try and clear all of this--

No, no, if I could just stay here. | Just for a little while longer.
