The Contract Page #3

---

So you ready?

Yep.

Okay.

Sure we don't need

that map?

I told you I know this area, okay?

All right, all right, all right.

CHRIS:
Yeah, but it's just

the same as your alcohol,

and your beer-

Good point, but so what?

I don't want you drinking, either.

It's legal in some countries.

It's not legal here.

It could be.

That's true, but it isn't.

So you've never tried it?

I didn't say that. I tried it. I

didn't like it. Didn't like the crowd.

They were a bunch of losers. Pot

makes you stupid, lowers your IQ.

So you smoked it

more than I did, huh?

Very funny.

MICHAELS:

Yeah, I don't like it.

RODRIGUES:
What exactly

don't you like about it?

I don't like to read

while I'm watching a movie.

You get used to it.

It's all right for you.

You speak Spanish.

Not that well.

Face it. You just don't wanna watch

a foreign film, that's all.

Yeah,

I just wanna watch.

If I wanna read,

I buy a book.

Christ. Give him a hand, will you?

Hey, you're blocking

the whole road.

Go!

You-!

You sure there's no

alternative pay arrangements?

You and Davis get down

there. Royko, get rid of that.

RAy:
I thought these old

bridges were supposed to be built

over gorges and canyons

and things, you know?

CHRIS:
You've been watching

too many old movies on TV.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You remember that one, Gunga Din?

Where they had the elephant

and it was crossing that-

Chris.

What?

Come on.

All right. Give me your hand.

I got you.

I got you. Come on.

Okay.

I'm a U.S. Marshal.

My prisoner.

My prisoner. Keys.

Take custody.

My gun. Gun.

Call 911.

Don't let him go.

Don't let him go.

Mister?

DAVIS:

It's a big waste of time.

Carden's got nine lives,

didn't you know?

You wanna point that thing

somewhere else?

Chris.

Chris!

Get your phone out of your

backpack. Call 911 right now.

Just stay-

Just stay there, mister.

Hang back. Hang back.

All right.

There's no service.

We're gonna walk to the highway.

The phone is gonna work there.

That's what we're gonna do.

Listen. You'd be wise to let me go.

You try to bring me in,

you're both gonna die.

How's that?

My men are following.

Ex-military. They'll be here soon.

Listen to me.

Hey, stay back.

Stay back, man!

Listen, will you?

Let me go.

Stay here for an hour

and then go home.

It's the best choice.

It's your only choice.

Dad.

He's right. Let's just let

him go. We've got the gun.

He not gonna hurt us.

Just let him go.

Be quiet.

What's your name, son?

Chris.

Chris is right.

Let me go.

Look, you look like a nice guy.

What's your name?

He's Ray.

Ray.

You don't wanna

be involved in this.

You're way out of your depth.

You said the wrong thing, mister.
