It's just the heat. That's all.
You want me to stop? I can stop.
No, I think I just gotta
get my pills.
Oh, pull over.
Alright, Scarlett.
"The charm of yesterday,
the convenience of tomorrow."
Sh*t. I mean, it's so wrong,
it's right.
- You seem to be feeling better.
- Yeah, brand new.
God, where the hell are we?
I don't know. Some old
town like a million others.
I swear I've been here before.
This place? No. All these
old towns look the same.
Oh, like this place? No way.
Whoa. I wonder
what the rooms are like.
Tiny bathrooms and musty carpet.
If you're feeling better,
What? We can't not stay here.
You go get the bags...
and I'll get us a room.
We're on the end.
What the f***?
What?
There's mud
in the bathtub.
You're not gonna take a bath,
are you?
I guess I wasn't, no.
Well, then don't worry about it.
I like this room.
- You do?
- I got a surprise for us.
Where'd you get that?
Front desk runs
little concessions.
Strictly on the downlow.
And those are?
Southwest shot glasses.
Muy autntico.
Nice. But didn't you leave lunch
by the side of the road?
It's old news. I think
it was just a passing thing.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Ah!
So now what?
What is the worst thing
that you've ever done?
- Truth or dare?
- Sure.
Like, the meanest, most rotten,
horrible, dirtiest,
dishonorable, despicable thing
that you've ever done.
I took the five finger discount
Is that not what you meant?
- What about you?
- What?
What's the worst thing
you've ever done?
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
My mum's sister, Polly,
died in a car accident
when I was really young
and her son Wayne was in the car
with her but didn't die. He...
He kind of turned into
this vegetable.
So... Wayne kind of
became my doll.
in my mom's clothes
and plaster his face
with make-up
and I would put on these little
plays with him as the star.
I really shouldn't
have been watching him,
but I mean, there was, like,
no one else. So...
I mean, I was so young
and he kind of sickened me.
I mean, he smelt, particularly
when he took a sh*t.
He just constantly had this
drool running down his face.
So... I kind of started
f***ing with him.
I drew a bull's-eye on his head
with a red lipstick
at him, like target practice.
And when he shat himself I would
just wheel him into a closet
until my mom came home.
And I was, like, a girl
interested in sex and boys.
I would take off
all of Wayne's clothes
and, one day, I put
peanut butter, like, all over
and just let the dog
come and lick it up.
And then I would kind of jerk
him off and watch him get hard.
And... I mean,
at the end of the day,
he was covered with whatever
outside and just hose him down.
And if it was raining,
I would just leave him out there
for hours.
And then I would wash him
sometimes in the kiddie pool.
And I would just let him
slip in the water
until there were no bubbles
or anything
and his face would be, like,
red and purple and...
And then, you know, I would
save him just at the right time.
My mom had a boyfriend, this
Gulf War vet, complete a**hole.
night and he mentioned how...
things with his eyeballs.
Wayne's dad was a Marine.
It turns out he was doing
Morse code with his eyes.
He was saying,
"SOS, SOS, SOS, SOS."
I mean, over and over and over.
Oh, my God.
Do you see what I just did?
That is the worst thing
that I've ever done.
Ah... Oh.
Let's go get a real drink.
Yeah, let's get
out of this room.
All I need is some sunshine
All I need
All I need is some sunshine
All I need
The siren called
beyond the treeline
With another one
for the caves
We reached the moon
falls icy cauldron
And found the spirit
that I crave
All I need is some sunshine
All I need
All I need is some sunshine
All I need
Black water (pull me down)
Black water (pull me down)
Black water (pull me down)
Black water (pull me down)
Black water (pull me down)
Black water (pull me down)
Black water (pull me down)
Black water (pull me down)
It's a hard road
we've got to travel.
It's a road that is
not fit for them
who want to take
the easiest route.
Because the easiest route
has been paved smooth
by the tramplings
of sin and perdition.
No, the road we travel with
Jesus is a road that's uneven.
It's a road that's not to be
chosen by its even-ness,
by its length.
It's a road that's chosen
by virtue of its destination.
Of where we're going.
Of where we're all going.
Scarlett?
What are you doing?
Did you turn on the TV?
Are you crying?
I'm just hearing...
Who? Who are you talking about?
in the room.
There's no one in here.
and all that tequila,
don't you think?
Yeah.
Come to bed.
OK.
Hey! Was that you last night?
You were looking up at our room.
Hey, let's shake a tail.
How are you not hung over?
Desert air? Good genes?
I don't know.
They don't want you
to know the truth.
No, that fork-tongued
speaker of calumny
shall rassle you down...
Check it out. You think that's
the a**hole who woke me up?
Everything that you thought
was rued shall recede!
The walls that keep you,
God, it's beautiful.
Scarlett.
- Scarlett?
- Ah!
Scarlett.
- Can you turn around?
- What?
Stop the car! Stop!
What is it? What's going on?
I don't know, it's like I feel
like I'm being crushed
and then...
like, then next I'm falling
1,000 feet from the sky.
We... We need a doctor.
I don't think
there's a doctor for this.
What do you mean?
I think we just have to go back.
What?
Let's make it to the next town.
No, the further away I get,
the worse it gets.
Further...
Sh*t.
Please.
OK, I'm turning around.
Isn't that the church
from the TV?
Go. Drive.
Drive! Go!
I'm sorry, OK?
I don't know what to say.
Is there anything
I can do to help?
No. I think I just need to rest.
OK.
You rest, I'll just sit here
until you fall asleep.
No, you don't have to do that.
It's sweet. You should just go.
Go downstairs, have a beer.
Go on, go. I need to sleep.
I don't feel good.
El Rancho?
Hang on a second.
It's for you.
Hello?
Alex.
Hello?
Alex.
Scarlett?
I think I know him.
Who? The guy on TV?
I know how it sounds.
Scarlett.
I think he's trying
to tell me something.
Something important.
Jesus, I forgive my children...
Alex...
I don't know why
I feel so crazy.
I just feel like
I know this town.
So let's just go.
Let's get out of here.
We'll be in LA by morning.
OK.
- Scarlett?
- Oh, Alex.
Oh, my head.
It feels like
it's going to explode.
Scarlett, just...
