No. If I'm in the car with you,

they're not gonna hurt you.

- We can talk to them by radio.

- What are you gonna say?

We're gonna turn ourselves in.

Buckle your seat belt.

Do mine.

Hello? Can you read me?

We want to turn ourselves in.

We're turning ourselves in.

Can you read me? Over.

Listen to me this time.

We are turning ourselves in.

We just want to turn ourselves in!

Do you read me?

Hello!

The bastard's on his way.

Hold it there.

That's a good speed.

Sh*t.

Get the gun! Use it!

- No, I'm not gonna shoot anybody!

- Aim for the tire.

- Oh, God!

- They're gonna kill us!

- Use it! Shoot 'em!

- No!

I got you.

Jesus Christ! Use the gun!

Shoot back!

You got him. Watch it.

She's got a gun.

Watch it. Get down.

You got him.

I dropped the gun.

You what?

Get the shotgun!

Be careful, now.

There you go.

Hold on!

Holy sh*t!

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Let's go, you son of a b*tch!

Oh, God.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

- Why didn't he kill us?

- Let's go.

Why didn't he kill us?

Let's go.

Are you okay?

Why'd you pick him up?

I wanted to help him...

and I was tired.

I thought he'd

help me stay awake.

Can I sit by you?

- What are you doing?

- I want to call my father.

- No. No calls.

- It's only my father.

I said, no calls.

Not until we figure out

what we're gonna do.

I can explain it.

It's not that simple.

I already tried.

I'm scared.

Me too.

Thanks.

Nash?

Are you awake?

Let's head 'em out!

No, I'm okay. Don't...

I'm okay.

I just want you

to know where I am.

Everybody's

got this whole thing wrong.

No, I sound funny,

but I'm okay.

The Apostle Paul told us

to look within ourselves...

for the very spirit of faith.

You must look to nature where

the spirit is replenished daily.

I'm Reverend Hollis Maxwell inviting you

to visit a church this Sunday.

This is Channel 3,

KCIK Television, in Texas...

licensed by the F.C.C.

in Washington, D. C...

ending its broadcast day.

We invite you to join us

tomorrow at 6:
00 A.M.

All right.

Don't hurt him, Ed.

You take it easy now.

Are you Jim Halsey?

- Who are you?

- I'm Captain Esteridge.

We spoke on the radio.

Where is she?

You come along with us now.

We're gonna need your help.

Hostage situation.

Hold your fire.

Hold it!

Please, don't!

Why don't you do something?

F***in' do something!

We can't!

Hold it!

- No!

- Do something!

If we shoot him, his foot will come off

that clutch, and that truck will roll.

Please!

Now, you get in there

and you see what you can do.

Please, do something!

Please, help!

She's sweet.

The gun is loaded.

Go for it.

Go ahead. Pick it up.

Tell you what... I'll let you hold

the gun on me before I do anything.
