On the Run (2024) Movie Script

1
Nice run, Branson. Yeah, you make
a good watchdog. How we do, huh?
What the fuck? I thought we said no drugs.
We say a lot of things.
I think the Slayers are
gonna notice them missing
a lot of fucking drugs
and come and get them.
You worry too much, brother.
Fuck him.
You got the fuck you gave me back. What?
You should be at home with the
baby, not here getting fucking drunk.
She's fine. I don't need a lecture.
Your brother's having a mood, babe.
You know, last time we ripped off
some gangs down south, she went bad.
She shouldn't be here.
No one's stupid enough to
mess with us on our home turf.
That's right.
Everyone's scared of my men knockout.
Except for Mia.
Hey, loosen up.
Come on, have a drink.
Mama said, there's a monkey on my back.
Got this hurt, I can't hide.
Watch me now, as I fade to black.
Ain't gonna pay for some...
Sons of bitches!
You're okay, you're okay, you're okay.
Look at me, look at me, look at me!
Son, son, son, son!
No, no, no, no, no! No! No!
No!
Those motherfuckers...
You're not supposed to be...
All right, kiddo. You're up.
Thanks for the brown one.
That's okay, that's okay.
All right, so breathe.
Hold it like you mean it, not too tight.
After you exhale, take the shot.
Good job, kid.
Thanks, Dad.
All right, there's three more that's good.
Cheryl, of course I'll be there tomorrow.
You haven't missed a sermon
all month, you know that.
Well, wait...
Well, you're still coming, right?
Oh, okay.
All right, well, I'll see you then.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Hey, guys!
It's time to get ready!
Now!
Is that... Yeah.
That felt great, Dad.
You're getting good, kid.
You came!
Aw, thank you!
Hey, hey, hey! Turn it down!
Gus!
The party's started, let's go.
Okay.
What are those?
Where did you get those?
Where did you get those?
Where did you get what?
What?
Those pouches.
Where did you get them?
These?
No, you tell me.
Relax, I found them in a box in
the garage with a bunch of cool shit.
It's not cool shit, Paige.
This is... What the hell, Dad?
What the fuck?
Let them back.
Okay.
Your mom's waiting, let's go.
Okay.
Jesus Christ.
Been riding for some time now.
These clothes will never get their way, no.
Oh, and even though
they're right behind me.
I'll never let them see the day.
No.
I am bound to seek redemption.
Lord, I have mercy on the sins.
Yeah.
Cause I'm running with the gunshot,
never stop, never hold back, y'all.
Never lose or never let
myself fall into the crack, y'all.
And if you're age one, then you
better get ready to attack, y'all.
Runner with the gunshot,
never stop, never hold back, y'all.
Glad you decided to show.
Why do we always have to hang
with our parents and their friends?
Be nice.
Okay.
Aunt Steph?
Hey!
It's so good to see you.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
Nobody told me you'd get this boring party.
Hey, come here.
It's so nice.
This is Cheryl.
How's Chicago?
It's raining.
Yeah, maybe I can come visit...
Like, really soon.
Yeah, sure.
You just got it okay with your parents.
Yeah, that'll never happen.
Oh!
Ah!
Thank you.
That's me?
Um, she's not really our aunt.
Our family's not really
a part of the picture.
So, I have one more class, then an
exam, and then I'll be a teacher like mom.
You make a wonderful teacher.
I know your parents are proud.
Uh, I want to show you this
new, uh, riff I've been working on.
Ooh, I've been dying to hear something.
Hey.
Hey.
Sorry, I can't borrow you.
Ah, right here, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
What are you so worked up about?
I just...
Paige found the patches.
She doesn't know what that means.
It isn't it, it's just that...
I just keep feeling like
something bad's coming.
Yeah.
Nothing will happen
for at least another year.
Relax.
Wow.
Man, I'm sorry you came to this lame thing.
I knew what I was in for.
Ugh, I just can't be
around them for too long.
They drive me crazy.
But you know that.
Well, I'm counting down the
days you break free of your parents.
You're still coming with
me to New York, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
I just need to decide if I'm running away.
Emancipating myself or
bringing it up with you now.
Who?
If I were you, I would emancipate.
Yeah.
I'm glad my mom's always working.
She could care less where I am.
Probably be glad once I'm off.
I'm fucking jealous.
Every time we ditch, I get in trouble.
They track me.
On my phone, like I'm 10.
That's brutal.
Maybe you can lie?
Tell them you got some cool fellowship.
Oh.
Ma'am, I think you are
confusing me with my sister.
They would never believe that.
Still staying out of trouble?
I thought you was welcome.
Good to see you, brother.
Son of a bitch.
Didn't think I'd be seeing you
for another year or more, brother.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
Got out on good behavior.
Sit down, let me get you a drink.
Yes, sir.
Looking good.
Looking good.
Yeah, we doing alright.
Good behavior, huh?
Good behavior.
There was a guy who kept running his mouth.
I got tired of seeing his face
and hearing his stupid voice, so I...
So I beat him to death.
Made it look like his cellmate did it.
Shit.
Yeah.
This is the anniversary of Beth's murder.
I was in a bad mood.
I helped him figure out who off
the guy, so they cut me a deal.
I want to find a way to surprise the
motherfucker that put me in there.
You found him yet?
Hang around and tried to do a gas
station in Utah a couple months by.
He's all cleaned up.
Living somewhere out in that Apple Valley.
Oh.
Any chance my bike's still around?
Kayla's home.
How's the library?
Fine.
Got enough done.
All right.
Lunch smells good, babe.
Ooh, thanks.
Yeah.
Ooh.
All right.
Let's eat.
I can help you.
Try.
There you go.
Yeah.
Um, so... I just
want you to move.
Thank you, God, for
Pastor Henry's sermon, for
this meal that we are about to
eat, and for our beautiful family.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
So, I got a really big
opportunity with the band.
Are you and Hailey playing prom?
Hell no.
Language.
So, Hailey's cousin wants us
to join their band in New York.
Just gotta connect.
You can line up some shows.
Maybe get us to open for someone big.
Yeah, I don't know, um...
I don't know when you're gonna
have time to go to the East Coast.
I mean, you got finals coming up.
Your mom and I are pretty busy,
so... Yeah, no, I don't think you get it.
Um, uh... I'm not
asking for permission.
Dropping out and moving.
You get how you are.
You are so close to graduating, honey.
Why don't you just finish school
and then we can talk about New York?
It'll take too long.
It's not like I get good grades.
I'm not a nerd.
Like... This isn't about me.
I didn't say anything.
You imply.
Whatever, I don't wanna finish high school.
Look, you're not throwing
your future away, Paige.
And that's that.
End of discussion.
Then I'll emancipate myself.
Don't say that.
Why?
We have a shit relationship anyway.
You guys are so fucking controlling.
Hey, watch it.
Never let me do anything.
Oh, we're not that controlling.
The only reason I'm allowed to have a phone
is so you can track my every movement.
No, that is not true.
Okay?
It's just that...
What if we look into music school?
I don't wanna go to CC like Kayla.
I can get my GED and I can
go to college in New York.
You're not going.
You're staying put.
And that's that.
I agree with your father.
God.
I hate you bulls!
I wish I had different fucking parents!
Well, that went well.
Yeah.
Thanks for your help.
You could've given me a heads up, you know.
Whatever.
You would just try to top me out of it.
And why do they treat me like such a baby?
Almost an adult.
Look, I get it, okay?
But it's coming from a place of love, okay?
I mean, Hailey's parents aren't even home.
You don't get it.
You like living here because
you don't have a social life.
Do you even have friends anymore, Kayla?
What does that have to do with anything?
I am just sick of you playing
into their perfect daughter crap.
You don't just have to be a clone of them.
You know, it's okay to be your own person.
Stop, okay?
They're trying to protect us.
Whatever.
Note that there are
things that you don't
understand about why
they are the way they are.
I know!
I have asked a million times!
I am almost 18 years old.
I can handle whatever
weird family secrets we have.
Trust me, it's not worth it.
There it is!
None of you trust me!
Not even my own frickin' sister.
Hey.
I need to trust my gut.
And get the fuck out of here.
And so do you.
Goodbye.
I tried.
Answer my question, you'll
walk out of this in one piece.
I'm looking for someone.
Family moved here from
Whitsack about 15 years ago.
I can't remember that far back.
Bullshit!
Tell me where they are.
I'm not saying anything.
I ain't afraid to kill a
cop, you motherfucker.
Tell me their new name.
Okay.
Okay.
Jones family.
Moved in around that time.
I don't know that they're here.
It's just that they moved in.
Marshall alerted the station.
If you say anything about this to anyone,
I'm going after your family.
I won't.
I know where you live, motherfucker.
I won't.
Please, just...
Go, go, get up, get up, get
up, get up, get up, get up.
Hey, it's me.
You up?
I'm coming in.
I haven't seen you in a while.
Like not since you graduated a while.
Yeah, I've been kind of busy.
Yeah?
With who?
Well, with the shot.
But Haley... Uh-huh.
...tells me you're moving soon.
Ooh.
Yeah.
I'm not a fan of that.
Yes.
You.
And.
My.
Parents.
How about... Before you leave?
Ooh.
I can give you some ink.
Ooh.
I would like that.
Yeah?
Yeah.
What are you thinking?
Are you serious?
What?
Woo!
Really?
Are you stalking me now?
Oh, you didn't give me much of a choice.
Come on.
Stop embarrassing me, please.
Jesus Christ.
If you don't come home with me
right now, I'm gonna tell Mom and Dad.
Of course you would, Steve.
Okay, so I gotta go.
But like, let's hang out soon.
Yeah.
Get my dates from Haley.
I will.
Don't fucking touch me.
Jesus Christ.
Friendly reminder we don't talk to
people who ride motorcycles, Paige.
Did you know this?
I'm serious.
Honey.
Did you hear that?
Go check on the rules.
You're gone.
What?
Call space.
Yeah.
You stay safe.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
You feel easy.
Baby.
Where is she?
Fuck you.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Oh, fuck!
Help us out! What's going on?
What the fuck?
Dad, what is going on?
Are you bleeding?
Where's mom?
Who is that?
Dad! Who is that?
It's just fine, just fine.
What happened here?
Baby, go up around the block.
What is it?
Okay, just try it, baby.
What is it? We're responding!
It's fine. It's fine.
Relax, please.
Dad!
Can you fucking say something?
You know, it's gonna be fine.
You know, it's gonna be fine.
Okay.
You're gonna go up here
around the bay, alright?
And then we're gonna
pull over for a little bit and...
What does that guy want?
Just wait.
Let's go home. Let's go see a little more.
Go slow. Go slow.
Baby!
Hey!
Hey!
You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
I'm fine, Michael.
You're beautiful.
You're okay.
You're okay?
It's okay.
Hey, no, no, no, no, no.
Mom!
Get off.
Okay.
Get off.
Okay, get off.
We gotta go.
We can't just leave Mom here.
We have to go, we have to.
No!
Okay, she'll be coming back.
We gotta go, okay?
All right.
You're back, just what you need.
Only what you need.
Okay, we gotta go.
It's ok, it's ok. It's
ok. I don't want to go.
I don't want to be mom.
I know baby. I know.
Now can you tell
us what's going on?
What the fuck is happening?
Why haven't we called the cops?
Dad...
The truth is that we're in Witsat.
What does that mean? What is that?
It means that we're in witness protection.
Fifteen years ago, I testified against
someone that used to be my friend.
The man...
Witsat was supposed to be protecting us.
And it...
All your...
Mom and I ever wanted for you
girls was to have a normal life.
There is nothing normal about this.
You know what?
I still don't understand how we got here.
Ok... ok... um...
I was in a motorcycle gang.
The patches that you found...
I was...
I was part of a club called the
Infernal Rise. I was out of California.
You?
I stole weapons and I...
I did things that I had no problem with.
How old was I when this happened?
You were little.
So little.
The Marshalls took us
in the middle of the night.
No wonder I have nightmares.
Is this why I couldn't go to New York?
When did you trust me?
I'm almost 18.
No.
Did you expect us to just
live under your roof forever?
No. It's just... it's just that
we wanted... No. Yeah. Ok.
Kayla and I... need to be
allowed to make our own decisions.
We just wanted you to be safe, ok?
Well that didn't happen.
Don't fucking touch me.
Maybe... um...
Maybe you could talk to your sister.
You know, smooth things over a little bit.
No.
Can I try?
You get used to it.
Alright, let's get up.
Come on. We gotta move.
Go where?
Your mom and I bought a little
house in the middle of Oklahoma.
It was worth joining Whitsitt in
case something like this happened.
Get up!
Fuck!
He might be following us.
Let's go. Come on.
Get out, please. We gotta move.
Alright.
What brings you out to
the middle of nowhere?
Uh... Nothing.
A salty or a sweet person?
I guess I'm a little salty.
When the hint is sweet.
My kind of woman.
What's your name?
Colt.
What's yours?
She's underage. You should know better.
My God. Kayla.
We're just talking.
Take a chill pill.
I'll see you later, Colt.
Hopefully sooner rather than later.
You know we can't trust anyone.
It's not like he rides a motorcycle.
It's clear skies tonight, but
colder weather is on the way.
More on that in our Apple Valley, Utah.
Investigators say the house
was broken into, and authorities
are still trying to locate her
husband and two daughters.
We will report updates on the
investigation as details become available.
The family is
celebrating tonight after
their pet dog was
missing in the high desert.
Why haven't we called witness protection?
Couldn't they help us?
They can't be trusted yet.
But I don't know how he found those.
It's possible that someone
in the program gave us up.
You can't trust the cops yet either.
Why?
The only people in town that
knew we were on Whitsack
were the local cops and our U.S. Marshal.
He's here.
You need to go.
Now, both of you, yes, go.
They left so soon, so we can catch up.
Shit. What?
He slashed the tire.
Come on.
Fuck you.
What if I sit?
Can I get you anything, huh?
I'll take a bourbon.
Old friend here's paying.
Coming right up.
What's the matter?
You look jumpy.
Ain't no way in hell
you're getting out of here.
If you're gonna kill
me, let's get on with it.
You ain't taking my girls.
Your girls.
Jesus, Rick.
Sounds like you're losing it.
Here's how it's gonna go.
As soon as that pig leaves,
you're gonna follow me outside.
I'm gonna shoot you.
And I'm gonna take back everything
you stole from me all those years ago.
This will finally be over.
You act like such a fucking victim.
What about Lori?
And my sister.
Don't give me that shit.
Lori wasn't innocent.
And I ain't the one who
introduced Beth to the Furnal Risers.
She knew the risk.
You turned your back on your entire family.
Think it were my family.
The club was your family!
No one breaks the code.
You can't come back from that.
This is for betraying me and the Risers.
This is what you get.
For all the years I didn't see my daughter.
Paige will never be your daughter.
She is now.
Paige!
Come out!
Come out!
I wanna talk to you!
Paige!
I just wanna talk.
Please.
Come on!
Paige!
I just wanna talk to you.
Alright, baby girl.
I'll find you.
I'll find you!
Come on, we have to keep moving.
No, I'm not leaving him.
I can't.
The police can't hear any minute, Paige.
I don't wanna leave him.
What about the police?
Wait, they can help us.
I was wrong.
Okay, we can't trust anybody like Dad said.
Come on.
Come on, Paige.
Paige, please.
We have to stick to Dad's plan.
Okay, keep going until we reach Oklahoma.
Yes, yes.
Look at me.
You can do this, okay?
We grab our stuff and we go.
Hey.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm right here.
Hey, how do you think he found us?
Shit.
He's monstrous.
Motherfucker!
What?
I have an idea.
Yeah, I got one more night in New
Mexico, then I'm headed up to Durango.
Shit.
Yeah, I will.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm being careful.
I will.
I will.
I will. I'll call you.
Alright?
I'll call you later.
Bye.
You really think that'll work?
It'll buy us some time, at least.
I know.
You want the shower first?
No.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
What's that?
That must be Dad's sister.
Our names aren't even ours.
Of course.
Did you know?
Oh my God, we're cousins.
So you didn't know?
I had an inkling.
An inkling? I just... I just...
I honestly don't remember going
to the hospital when I was born.
I asked Mom about it once, but she
said I was too young to remember.
I never really believed that.
What does that mean?
I do remember things.
I remember my fourth birthday.
I didn't have a sister.
Not yet at least.
You are just as bad as Sue.
What was I supposed to do?
I don't know! Tell me the truth!
I didn't want to upset you, okay?
I had no idea if any of this was even real!
You could have at least let me in!
Oh, come on! We're thinking!
Come on!
I had an inkling!
You don't have your secrets?
We're going to move to New York for crazy!
Why don't you get away from you?
What could you possibly
be looking for right now?
I'm looking for a joint!
Because Kayla, I mean a friend!
Fuck!
Be immature for what's paid!
Fuck you!
Let's go!
Something bothering you?
Uh...
Sorry, I didn't know anyone was here.
Hey, hey, wait! It's you!
Paige!
Salting with the Hindu
sweet from the rest stop.
I don't remember telling you my name.
You definitely did.
I'm cold, remember?
You want a drink?
Uh...
Yeah, what the hell?
I could really use one.
Rough day, huh?
Something like that.
Man, what are the odds?
You know, I was, uh...
pretty disappointed when
our chat was cut short.
Yeah, my sister can
be a real pain in the ass.
Fucking cock-lock.
Ugh.
Sounds like she's just looking out for you.
Man, I guess.
I don't really want to
talk about my sister.
Sweetie.
We ain't gotta talk about nothing.
Whoa.
Uh...
I don't feel so good.
You okay?
Uh, I don't know.
I didn't...
I didn't... I didn't
drink that much.
I think I... I think I gotta go.
Ugh.
Did you fucking drug me?
Of course not.
What kind of guy do you think I am?
Motherfucker.
Hey! Hey!
Get out of my truck!
Send me the address.
I had a dream again.
And...
Paige?
Paige?
PAGE?!
Alright!
Alright!
It's all happy.
It's all happy.
All thanks to you, baby girl.
I got my ins.
Holy shit!
PAGE!
PAGE!
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Come on, Haley. Come on, Haley.
Come on, Haley.
Steph?
Wait, you're... Yeah.
You're US Marshal.
Are you okay?
You probably have a lot of questions.
Yeah.
We can't talk about it out here.
I don't get it.
Dad said we couldn't trust you.
I don't blame him.
Someone in the agency didn't want
me knowing Vince got out of prison.
But that's no excuse for what happened.
I'll never forgive myself.
You can't blame yourself.
Yeah, I can.
I never still let her out of my sight.
It was my job to protect her.
No, it's my job.
I promise you, we're going to find Paige.
Ugh!
I just, I should've called you sooner.
Paige wouldn't be gone and Dad
would still be alive and everything.
It's okay, it's okay.
I know.
Let's focus on finding your sister.
Okay?
Wait, wait, stop, stop.
I've seen that guy.
Yeah, he was flirting
with Paige at a rest stop.
Thanks.
Give me everything you have on this guy.
Mhm.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Call me if you find anything else.
Except we're going to church.
Rise and shine.
You were out for a while.
Where am I?
Kind of a dump, right?
Long to a friend of mine.
He owes me a favor.
You fucking God!
I don't know what you want,
but I don't got any money.
Money!
You think this is about money?
No, no.
No, your work's...
way more than that.
What does that mean?
Full... patch... and everything!
Soon his knockout comes to collect his...
precious baby girl, he's gonna
make me... an official inferno.
And then no one... can touch me!
Tell me you're working for that monster.
Show some goddamn respect!
Your father's...
a fucking legend.
Fuck you.
I'm over babysitting.
I need you to stay here.
Yeah, right.
I'm coming with you.
Things could get dangerous.
Please just stay.
Hey!
You seen Cole hanging around here today?
Who's asking?
Just his parole officer.
I don't want him to
get in any more trouble.
What's your name, baby girl?
Ignore her.
I'm the one talking.
What are you doing with this tight ass?
Why don't you ditch her and come
with me, and I can show you a good time?
Tell me where the fuck the hole is.
I'm gonna break your shoulder.
Ah, shit! Okay, alright!
He came by boasting,
saying he had something for Vince McKay.
Some shit that was sure
to get him patched up.
And he was asking we can
get a couple of fake passports.
What's with the passports?
I guess he's going on vacation.
He had a young piece of ass with him, too.
Hands on your head!
Go start the car.
Keep talking.
He's hauled up in that dumpy
ass trail park across town.
He needs to be there any minute.
I got a 10-20 on the K. I need backup.
Meet us at the trailer
park off Mountain Road.
Wait, was my dad
really in a club like that?
He was.
But things changed when he
met Laurie and they had you.
Shit!
Let's just pray we get there
before Vince tries to flee the country.
You still like my brawn?
Your mom used to make it
when I played guitar for you.
You play guitar?
We had a lot of lost
time to make up for a kid.
What's wrong with you?
Damn lung cancer.
You smoke?
Not cigarettes.
Good.
You look just like your mom.
As soon as those passports show
up, we're going to take a little trip.
The place pigs can't find me.
We're going to head down to Mexico.
Finally be a real family.
It's like your mom always wanted.
Until the cancer takes me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Don't you want to get
out of this hell home?
Yeah, but not with you.
You're fiery.
Like me.
When I was your age, I respected my father.
He was the scariest, most
impressive man in the world.
My father would never hit me.
Rick?
Oh, that piece of shit.
He may not have hit you, but
honey, he hurt a lot of people.
We should call him the breaker.
So he can make anybody talk.
He'd break somebody's
bones and he'll spill their guts.
I don't believe you.
Don't matter what you believe.
It's the truth.
I'll be back, sweetheart.
We're only here to figure out
which one of these pages is in.
And then we wait until backup arrives.
Understood?
Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to
take on a homicidal maniac on my own.
No matter how badly I want to.
You and me both.
Stay behind me.
Go watch Paige.
I got you to talk to my niece.
Go watch Paige.
I got you to talk to my niece.
Just talking to me.
Let's talk!
Kayla!
Kayla?
Just talk to me.
Ah!
It's Steph!
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
I'm sorry! Don't be mad!
Paige!
Kayla!
Oh, shit!
Kayla!
Come out!
Hey, idiot!
You want a family?
Stop trying to kill us.
Do it.
Better you than the cancer.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Let me...
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have left things how I did.
And I'm glad you came after me.
Well, you're lucky.
I'll never stop looking out for you.
That's what sisters are for.
You sure you want to do this?
There's no reason to hide anymore.
And you're sticking with
your government needs.
They're the only ones we've ever known.
That's it?
You are no longer under the
protection of witness security.
But I'll always be your Aunt Steph.
Oh wow.
Good luck.
So...
I decided to go to school after all.
I'm studying music.
Just like you wanted.
And it's not close to home.
Hmm. But Kayla's moving with me.
So I won't be alone.
Yeah, I guess... I just wish you
guys were here to see me off.
Thanks for giving me a sister.
I wish I'd gotten to know her.
I do, too.
You know what?
If we could pick our family...
I'd still choose you.
Me, too.
Every time.
Yeah.
What do you think Boston's gonna be like?
Very grounded. I can't wait.
Buckle up, alright?
Kayla, your buckle's barely
fucking working this thing.
I've seen it all.
Got my scars down the road.
Been working hard to the bone.
Moving on... Moving on...
Moving on... In the love...
Life is long...
Good to know...
Being wrong... Time is a tone...
Give you down... To the bone...
The things you love... They keep
you going... Full air... Holding brains...
Crack that wind...
Bright light lightning...
Go on, yeah...
Roll light thunder...
Break the sky... Live it
all up until the day you die.
Am I wasting?
Find a place to waste my head.
Trouble far down the road.
Moving on is all I know.
We are back.
Pull that rain.
Crack that wind.
Cry like lightning.
Go on, kid.
Oh, life's on earth.
Break the sky.
Live it all up until the day you die.
consume.
Ignore this.
Stay with me.
To not from my heart.rd
