Hold on, we'll get to you.|You can explain later. Where are you?

A gas station a mile south|of the road to the landing.

Right.

Oh, uh, did you manage to save anything?

Damn right. I got the last notebook.

Look like your ride's got here.

Don't be afraid.

Say that to someone|whose desk you ain't hidin' behind.

Is there a gun here?

What kinda place do you think this is?|Course there is.

Gun's a museum piece.

Stay here.

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Hey, greaseball!

She's mine.

She's got a gun.

Some gun. It blew up on the first shot.

Jam it. Jam it to the floor.

Wait a minute. There she is.

Go, go. Go get her. Go on.

Go on.

Watch the trees.

Go, go. Come on,|she's gainin' ground on you.

Faster.

Got her in the sights.

Don't stop!

Help!

Shoo.

Go!

It's OK, it's OK. It's just me.

Jude, what are you doing here?

You think I'd stay at the station|while they're pumpin' it full of holes?

What happened to that thing?

It, uh...

hit a tree.

Must have been one of those hit-and-run|trees. It don't seem to be there now.

Some tree, all right.

There's a trapper's cabin nearby. Maybe|we can get you a fresh change of clothes.
