I don't have any credit cards.

I suppose he took

your vehicle registration too?

What's a young kid like you driving

such a fancy car? You steal it?

The car doesn't belong to me.

It's a drive-away.

I'm supposed to be delivering it

to California.

The guy's in San Diego.

What's his name?

I don't remember.

But I know the number of the drive-away

company. Why don't you call them?

Hell, son. You better start calling

somebody 'cause you're in deep sh*t.

It's 312-399-2090.

I know the number so well

because I called them so many times.

I was on their waiting list

for a month.

I wanted a car going

to California.

That's why it took so long.

Thank you for calling

Midwest Drive-away.

Our Chicago office hours are

Closed Saturday and...

Well, now what are we gonna do?

You got one more call.

Call my brother, for God's sakes!

He'll be home.

It's 312-905-9044.

Maybe you didn't let it

ring long enough.

Do I look like a killer to you?

Folks coming in from Austin tomorrow

gonna be interested in talking to you.

I'm gonna give you a chance

to get some rest.

Get him locked up.

Get him out of my sight.

Let's go.

Jack?

That kid isn't a killer.

Any fool could see that.

Okay, face front.

Hold real still.

Now turn to your right.

Steady.

Make it your left.

Oh, those are real good.

Your mama's gonna like those.

Let's go.

You behave yourself now.

Hello?

Go! I'm right behind you.

Come on!

Let's go.

Come on, come on.

Stop!

- Take her easy!

- Tell me about it.

Get over by the car.

Those cuffs on your belt...

take them off and lock

your partner's hands behind his back.

- You mean me?

- I mean you.

You! Yes, you!

Okay. We're gonna go

for a little ride now.

You two get in the front.

I'll get in the back.

- One of you open the door.

- Open the door, Jack.

Get in the car!

You and me, we're gonna

get in together, okay?

Ready...

steady...

go.

- Can I close the door?

- Shut the door.

Start the car.

Head for the highway.

Can you call out on that thing and get

me connected with somebody in charge?

I'll try to get through

to Captain Esteridge.

Do it. But don't tell anybody

where we are.

- Central, this is car number...

- I said don't tell them anything.

Central, this is one of your cars

and we've been hijacked by suspect.

He wishes to speak

to Captain Esteridge directly. Over.

Esteridge 10-11.

We'll try to locate. Standby.

This is Captain Esteridge.

Do you read? Over.

Captain, this is Jim Halsey.

You gotta listen to me, Captain.

I swear I didn't kill those people.

I got framed by this guy

I picked up hitchhiking.

What do you suggest

we do, son?

Come on, man. You tell me.

Why don't you
