-[rain pattering]
[reporter] Highway patrol
and local officials
have declared
a statewide emergency
as these unprecedented
storms continue to rage
across southwestern Louisiana.
The governor has
urged anyone that can
to please leave their home
in a calm and orderly fashion.
-[sirens sounding]
-[footsteps trotting]
[door crashes]
[sirens sounding]
[Clarence exhales]
Well, it looks like this
is home for the night.
Fuck.
[sirens sounding]
-[thunder rumbling]
-Great.
[hammer knocking]
Dude, it's a fucking hurricane.
What's that gonna do?
Well, unless you plan
on out running it,
it's the best we got
till it passes.
[hammer knocking]
What's your name anyway?
Summer.
Clarence.
Been here long?
Six months.
I was in a band...
and we broke up.
All the fuckers moved home,
left me with the rent
that I can't make, obviously.
It sounds familiar.
Gimme a hand?
Looks like you got it.
You know, I had some friends
come through town yesterday
offered me
a ride up to Arkansas.
[hammer knocking]
Should have taken it.
Didn't think the second coming
of Hurricane Katrina
would lock us in her sights.
You even old enough
to remember Katrina?
I was six. Just old enough
to remember levees breaking.
[door opening]
Oh, shit.
Goddamn wind.
I got this one.
Mind seeing if there's
anything we can burn
that won't level the place?
Wouldn't count on it.
[sirens sounding]
[thunder rumbling]
You know I was in a band once.
Uh.
-[growling]
-[ominous music]
-[crunching]
-[growling]
Clarence?
[ominous music]
-[alligator bellowing]
-[dramatic music]
[Summer screaming]
-[alligator bellowing]
-[dramatic music]
-[Summer screaming]
-[alligator roaring]
-[leg snapping]
-Ah!
-[Summer grunting]
-[alligator roaring]
[Summer screaming]
[sirens sounding]
[metal screeching]
[dramatic music]
[engine roaring]
[rain pattering]
[dramatic music]
-[rain pattering]
-[engine roaring]
Yo, he trying to kill us
out here or what?
[Elkins] He's right you know.
I can hardly see a
goddamn thing up here.
It's a shit show.
[Elkins] I told you
we should've turned back.
But Shane fucking left
with the goddamn forecast.
You know, that's why I only
trust this weather app.
Sooner we drop these sweethearts
off the better, right?
[Elkins] I don't know.
I think we should pull over
and wait the storm out.
[Stamper] Oh yeah? And when
you think that's gonna be?
I don't know. Why don't
you ask that weather app?
Yeah, it ain't going
anywhere anytime soon.
God's gonna be pissing on us
for the rest of the night.
Well, it's only gonna
get worse at dark.
Eh, you know, Lutree's
pretty close to here.
Why don't you radio
that sheriff and see
if she doesn't mind
taking us in for the night.
-[Stamper] The pretty one?
-[Elkins] That's right.
Yeah, I'm sure she'll just
roll out the red carpet
for all of us.
Well, it's better than crashing
and letting a bunch of
inmates escape, isn't it?
Okay. Truck's full of gas.
Skis are ready to go.
Keys are on Omar.
As far as those keys go,
you give them to
no one except me?
-You copy that.
-Copy.
Okay.
God looked down
on the human race
and He saw wickedness, violence,
and evil everywhere.
It's the story of the flood.
It symbolizes God's punishment
for sin... [indistinct]
That's comforting.
Let's get
these things loaded up
and let's move. Come on.
[rain pattering]
[soft tense music]
[exhales]
[footsteps plodding]
The storm has already
decimated the Caribbean.
Copy that.
Drive safe out there.
[Newman]
You gotta be kidding me.
Where the hell is Pine?
I haven't seen him.
Never know with that guy though.
What is that?
Stress call.
Department of corrections.
And?
Got a bus full of prisoners
heading our way.
Got caught in the storm,
they need a place
to hunker down until it's safe.
-How many prisoners?
-Five.
Jeez, why didn't
you come tell me?
Well, state of Louisiana
is gonna be underwater
by bacon and eggs time.
All right.
Keep an eye up for the bus.
Tell Deputy Pine
if he wants to keep his job,
to find me immediately.
[reporter] ...to evacuate
across three states.
You're the sheriff, Sheriff.
[reporter]
...the combined states
of Louisiana and Alabama.
Nearly seven million told to
evacuate across three states.
Already hundreds of
thousands without power.
-[thunder rumbling]
-[dramatic music]
[neck cracks]
[dramatic music]
It's just looking pretty bad
out here I mean, look at it.
The worse it gets,
the better it is for us.
Yeah.
[dramatic music]
-[engine approaching]
-Here comes our ride.
Lock and load.
[guns racking]
[engine roaring]
[Omar] Where the hell
are they going?
I thought they were
supposed to turn.
So what the fuck's up, Rafe?
Change of plans. Follow 'em.
[engine starting]
[reporter] Highway patrol
and local officials
have declared
a statewide emergency
as these unprecedented
storms continue to rage
across Southwestern Louisiana.
-[footsteps plodding]
-[water splashing]
Oh, hey, Sheriff. Whitlock
said you wanted to see me?
Yes, I did.
[Pine] Okay. What's up?
Look at my feet.
Didn't I ask you to
stack some sandbags
in the alley near the back door?
Yes, ma'am.
But Whitlock asked me
to mop the cells, so--
Well, now you're
on sandbag duty.
Rain is pouring down.
I got a busload
of prisoners coming in.
And if you'd done
what I'd asked,
we wouldn't be walking
around in gumbo right now.
Sorry, Sheriff. Uh, I'm on it.
Hey, wait, did you just say
we have prisoners coming in?
-Pine.
-Anyone famous?
I'm on it. I'm on it.
-[water splashing]
-Oh.
My God.
[thunder rumbling]
-[dramatic music]
-[heavy footsteps plodding]
[roaring]
[rain pattering]
[footsteps plodding]
[water splashing]
[water sloshing]
[keys clinking]
[dramatic music]
[lock clicks]
[door screeching]
[water sloshing]
[electricity buzzing]
Sheriff Newman should
deploy the mayor for this.
[water sloshing]
[brakes screeching]
Well, I'm gonna
go find the sheriff.
All right, make it quick, okay?
I don't like babysitting.
[Whitlock] The guests are here.
[grunts]
[electricity crackles]
[exhales]
[ominous music]
[groans]
[ominous music]
[grunts]
[alligator bellowing]
[grunting]
[water sloshing]
[alligator bellowing]
[ominous music]
What the fuck
are they doing outside
of the goddamn police station?
[dramatic music]
[footsteps plodding]
[Elkins] Ah, thanks for taking
us in tonight, Sheriff.
Dale Elkins, Department
of Corrections.
Probably heard of me before.
Couldn't leave you to drown
out there, now could we?
To tell you the truth,
it might be better
if some of them actually did.
[laughs]
You know we don't have any food
or enough holding cells?
Radios and trial line's
been in and outta service
ever since the storm started.
Gotta be honest
with you, Elkins.
I've had enough
problems here tonight
without having you here.
Well, I guess we won't be
feeding them after midnight.
That's a movie reference.
We'll try and be
as painless as possible.
Okay, I'm gonna go
get the gremlins.
Follow me.
[alligator bellowing]
-[grunts]
-[dramatic music]
I can't fucking believe this.
[Pine grunting]
[alligator roaring]
[Nate] I say we just
get the hell outta here.
We ain't going nowhere,
and neither are they.
Our whole plan is fucked now.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, well,
we ain't turning back.
All right, if you numb nuts
couldn't tell,
there's a raging storm
going on out there.
Roads are too dangerous
to drive,
and we wanna make sure
y'all make it
to your final destinations safe.
So we prepared
accommodations for y'all
at the Lutree Sheriff's
Department for tonight.
[thunder clapping]
[Rafe] You remember Yemen,
right?
I keep telling you, this storm,
it works in our favor.
And it's good for us.
Take a look where we are.
Yeah, outside of
a goddamn police station
in the middle of
a fucking 50-year storm.
I want you on your best behavior
while we're here.
Think of this as a...
a field trip.
For some of you, this'll be
the last one you ever get.
There gonna be ice cream?
Banana split
in this motherfucker.
I like me chocolate.
Shut the fuck up.
laughing]
[dramatic music]
This is our chance.
This is our chance, and we
are gonna bust on in there,
and we are gonna get him out.
[Nate] Yeah, there's
cops in there.
[Rafe] Like we've never
taken down no cops before
if we had to.
Can't be more than four or
five of them on duty anyways.
I don't think so.
I mean, the prisoners came out.
There's only two of them.
If there was more,
we would've seen them.
[Rafe] You know, she's right.
Here's what we're gonna do.
When we're done,
we're gonna ditch the truck.
We're gonna meet
at the rendezvous point
on the jet skis as we planned.
Then on, we can go our
merry fucking ways.
As long as this storm
keeps falling like it is,
don't think anybody's
gonna stop us.
[door buzzing]
-[Stamper] All right.
-[gate clattering]
Single-file line, gentlemen.
Act like you wanna be here.
-[footsteps plodding]
-[water sloshing]
Do you wanna do the honors?
-It's your ship.
-Yeah, and it's sinking.
All right.
My name is Sheriff Newman.
This is Deputy Whitlock.
Welcome to the Lutree
on this very wet and stormy day.
Let's get a few things straight.
You're in my house now.
[inmates laughing]
[Stamper] Settle down.
Oh, shit, you settle down.
Just letting you know you better
be on your best behavior.
Don't be fooled by the fact
that I am a woman.
My father was
the sheriff in this town,
and he taught me how to use
a gun when I was four years old.
I will not hesitate
to shoot you if I have to.
[Floyd laughing]
Please, by all means,
fire away.
Well...
I'll be sure to aim right
at that stupid thing on
your forehead when I do.
Ah.
[clicks tongue]
Right in the kisser.
Fuck you, dark meat.
I bet your mama like dark meat.
What's your name, bullseye?
Floyd McGraw.
When I call your name,
I need you to step forward.
Big Jim Pruett?
Yes, ma'am.
How'd I guess?
Well, I reckon it says
they call me Big Jim
in your file there,
and I'm the--
I'm the second biggest one here.
[Newman] You reckoned right.
Says you're looking at a nickel,
drug charge, second offense.
Well, you know what's
trailer trash, ma'am.
We only go for two things.
Yeah, what's that?
Cooking meth and growing weed.
Okay, step back, Big Jim.
Jonathan Apone.
Who the fuck is that though?
Look here, ma'am.
I haven't heard that name
in a long time.
Where I'm from, everybody
call me Jack Boy Jox,
the neighborhood jacker.
Only my mama call me Jonathan,
unless you wanna
be my White mama.
How's your mama feel about
her boy doing time in jail?
Well, mama was just mad
I got caught.
I didn't make it home that night
to pay that rent.
My little brothers and sisters
on the motherfucking
street... evicted.
Now, I'm in here
with you White folks.
Thank you, Jonathan.
You can step back.
Angelo Cooper, is it?
That's correct.
Step forward.
Murder one.
It's big.
I got a big dick, too.
You ever seen one?
Not one this ugly.
Step back.
[Angelo] You're feisty.
I like feisty.
That must make you...
Russell Cody, ma'am.
That's a bonafide cop killer
right there, Sheriff.
Ain't that right, Russell Cody?
Anybody kills a cop should burn,
spend the rest of their time
in hell as far as I'm concerned.
Step back, Mr. Cody.
All right. As you can see, it's
a tight squeeze here tonight,
and we're not food prepped,
so this isn't gonna
be fun for any of us.
It's a bitch of a squall
out there, so we're just gonna
have to make the most of it
until the morning.
Understood?
-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
[wind howling]
[clicking]
[Elkins]
You sure got nice nails, Jox.
I appreciate that there, boy.
Feel good.
My girlfriend told me to get one
of those manicures you've got,
but I don't know...
Seems a little girly.
[Jox] Hey, y'all.
Y'all don't think this is cruel
and unusual right here?
I can't even do my pushups.
Oh, I'm sorry, baby,
poor sweetheart.
Why don't y'all just make
yourselves comfortable, okay?
We're gonna be here
for a minute.
Hope y'all can swim.
What you think, Black people
can't swim or something?
[laughs] Got our resident
comedian in here, huh, Jox?
Why don't you go
sit your ass down?
Yeah, let me out this cage
and see what happens.
I'mma tase your ass
is what's gonna happen.
[Jox] All right.
All right.
[Stamper] It'll feel real good
in this water, too.
-Okay, okay.
-[keys jangling]
Where the hell is Pine?
Correction ain't seen nothing.
-[glass shattering]
-Get down.
-[gunshots]
-[dramatic music]
Was that gunfire?
No, that's probably
just thunder.
[water sloshing]
[gunshots]
[gun clanking]
Oh, they popping off.
They're definitely gunfire.
Reminds me of
goddamn Afghanistan.
Goddammit,
there ain't no signal.
Yeah, sheriff said
it's been that way
since the storm started.
What the hell have you two
ass clowns gotten us into now?
What the hell are
you doing, Elkins?
Don't do anything stupid.
I'm gonna go check it out.
I just said
don't do anything stupid.
He's right, Elkins.
Listen to him.
You stay here and watch them.
[sighs] Son of a bitch.
[groans]
Goddamn it.
[gunshots]
[Omar] Clear.
Watch your six.
[dramatic music]
[thunder rumbling]
[mouthing]
How many of you
are still in here?
Who the fuck are you?
Well, it seems like you may
have a little flooding problem
in here today, Sheriff.
It rains, it pours.
[Rafe] Yes, it does.
Besides yourself
and the two guards
that were on the bus,
how many others
are still here?
And don't lie to me.
It's just us.
[Rafe] Okay, then, then this
is what we're gonna do.
You're gonna toss
out your weapons,
and you're gonna come out from
behind there nice and slowly.
That's what we're gonna do.
[dramatic music]
How do I know
you're not gonna shoot us?
Well...
Freeze.
-[gun cocks]
-[gunshot]
[Elkins grunting]
[thudding]
[Omar grunting]
[Rafe] I told you
not to lie to me, Sheriff.
[Newman]
All right, we're coming out.
[Rafe] There you go.
Come on, nice and easy.
Put the gun down right there.
You, too, put it down, down.
-[guns thudding]
-Kick it.
-[gun clanking]
-Step back.
-You okay, man?
-Do I freaking look okay to you?
Any more shit like that,
and both of you will be dead.
Do you understand me?
Do you understand that,
Deputy Sugar?
I understood, we don't
want any problems.
The prisoners who were
dropped here off the bus,
where are they?
Don't you run on me, Sheriff.
To the back... back door.
That's good.
You're gonna guide us
back there nice and easy.
Then, you're gonna take us
to the cell of one
they call Russell Cody.
You got that?
-Got it.
-Good.
Nate,
bandage him up.
Keep an eye on the back door.
Well, those boots were made
for walking, right, Sheriff?
Let's walk.
You should probably
go check on your boy,
don't you think, man?
I'm here watching y'all.
Yeah, you watching us, but we
ain't the ones getting shot at.
There's a change for
your Black ass, huh?
You do know
the Nazis lost the war,
you White redneck, hillbilly,
inbred piece of shit?
Not in here, boy.
Look at all the White faces.
Who the fuck you calling a boy?
[laughing] You.
Shut the fuck up!
What the hell's going
on up there, Sheriff?
Put the gun down, Stamper.
Where the hell is Elkins?
Put the fucking gun down.
Put the gun down.
[Rafe] Put it down.
Let me figure
it out for you, ace.
You're outnumbered.
You're outgunned.
You put it down or you don't,
but there's only one outcome
that keeps you breathing.
There you go, nice and easy.
There you go.
-[gun thudding]
-And that one, too.
[gun clanking]
Very good, very slow.
-[gun thudding]
-Up you get.
Step back.
I said step back.
[Jox] Hell, yeah, that's
the fuck I'm talking about.
[Floyd] Let us out
of this cage, White brother.
[Jox] Hey, dawg, gimme
-that gun right there.
-Hey.
Pass me that right there, dawg.
-I got your back.
-Hey.
I got your back, dawg.
[Floyd] You were
someone's White baby once.
Hey.
What the hell
you doing here, Rafe?
Howdy, Cody.
Didn't expect on
seeing us, now, did you?
Sheriff?
[keys jangling]
[gate clattering]
Me and you have got
a lot of catching up to do.
Omar's getting
pretty bad out there.
We got him.
Now let's go.
[Floyd] We can help you.
Hey, my man, I can stop
the bleeding for him.
-We can help you.
-Nobody's going nowhere.
Fuck your problem?
Surveillance cameras,
where are they?
-The cameras are broken.
-Don't bullshit me, Sheriff.
She ain't lying.
Rats ate the wire.
Kid you not.
[Rafe] I don't care.
I wanna see for myself.
He's right.
Where are they?
In the storage room.
Move, storage room it is.
You, get the fuck in there.
Go. Lock him up.
Move it.
Welcome to the
Lutree Hotel and Spa.
Fresh meat. [laughs]
[Omar groaning]
[growling]
[Omar groaning]
[alligator growling]
[alligator roaring]
-Oh, shit.
-[alligator roaring]
[Omar screaming]
[thunder rumbling]
What?
Nothing, I was just thinking.
About?
Your face.
I don't know.
We kinda look alike.
Makes me think
what I coulda done.
I coulda been a cop, probably
a pretty good one, too.
But I guess that's what
happens when one grows up
in a good family, reassurance,
a little confidence.
You're gonna blame
your upbringing?
Heard that one before.
What, you got daddy issues?
You have no idea
how my daddy broke my heart.
But someone like you
wouldn't understand that now,
would you?
You have absolutely no idea
what I'm capable of,
so you better shut
your fucking mouth
before it gets you into trouble.
You don't have to do this.
[laughs]
Yeah, sorry, babe.
Rafe ain't leaving here
until he gets what he wants.
And when he does,
I'm walking outta here.
Move the fuck.
Let's go.
[Cody] I know what you guys
are doing here, Rafe.
It's not gonna work.
You should get outta here
while you still can.
What... What I had planned?
Well, you know exactly
what I'm doing here,
and that sounds like
a threat to me, Cody.
Think of it however you want,
but look outside...
it's not me you should
be worried about.
But you see, it is you
I'm worried about.
We come all this way,
and we went through all this
to break you outta here,
and that's exactly
what we're gonna do.
Elkins is dead?
Sorry.
I know it ain't easy
losing one of your own.
[Whitlock sighs]
We gotta do something.
[Whitlock sighs]
What the hell?
Somebody needs to get
a damn plumber in here.
Shit.
Okay, let's go, move.
You seriously wanna go there?
Yeah.
Looks like Atlantis in here.
Come on, let's go.
-Wait. Look.
-Move.
See those wires?
It's a surveillance camera.
Clearly, it's not working.
Whose jacket is that?
It's mine.
All right, let's go.
Wait.
Do you see that?
-[Carter] What?
-[Newman] Flashlight.
[Carter] So?
So, we need to go check it out.
Oh, now you wanna go down there.
You wanna have a wet
T-shirt contest, too?
I'm not gonna do anything.
I just need to check it.
Okay, well don't try
anything funny.
-I'm right behind your ass.
-I'm not.
[water sloshing]
-You hear that?
-What?
I don't hear anything.
[Carter] Holy fuck.
[gasping]
[growling]
Jesus fucking Christ.
[growling]
[both breathing heavily]
[gunshots]
Stop shooting.
-The tank... the tank, stop.
-[Carter gasping]
[breathing deeply]
[alligator roaring]
[gunshots]
[distant gunshots]
[Carter screaming]
[alligator roaring]
Oh, shit.
[grunting]
[alligator roaring]
-[alligator roaring]
-[grunting]
[gasping]
[bones crunching]
[line beeping]
That ain't gonna work in here.
Ain't no service.
[line beeping]
Keep an eye on him.
This could be
our chance right here.
Chance for what?
We're locked in here.
[metal clanging]
[ominous music]
[gun clicks]
[panting]
[water rushing]
Where's Carter?
In there.
Alligators?
How'd you know?
[dramatic music]
Shit.
-[alligator growling]
-[intense music]
[alligators growling]
[intense music continues]
Hey, boss, please
don't leave us in here
to drown with the pigs.
If it was up to me,
I wouldn't be here right now.
Me neither, bruh.
Please let us out.
We gotta do something.
-[knocks]
-Open the door.
[bangs on door]
-Open the fucking door!
-Where's Rafe?
Open!
[Rafe] Open the door.
[Nate] What the hell's
going on out there?
[all clamoring]
Goddamn, man!
Hey, close that door!
-[alligator roaring]
-[Rafe grunts]
-[alligator snarling]
-Fuck!
[screaming]
Fuck, don't let me go!
Close the fucking door!
Don't you let me go!
No!
Close the fucking door now!
[door shuts]
[alligator thuds]
[panting]
[gunshot]
[Whitlock] Oh, shit.
-[Nate] Back up!
-All right.
Back up!
[Whitlock] Better do
what he says, Sheriff.
What are you doing?
I kill her...
we kill them.
[Jox] Oh-oh.
[tense music]
No witnesses.
[locks buzzing]
[Newman grunting]
[Jox] Oh, man. Oh!
Damn, you gonna hurt
a lady, huh?
[Whitlock] Hey, get your
hands off her, man.
[groaning]
[Jox] Oh, shit!
[Whitlock] Get him!
-Get off her, man!
-[Jox] Oh!
[inmates shouting]
[Newman grunting]
-[Jox] Yeah, kick his ass!
-Woo!
-Kick his ass!
-[grunts]
Oh, shit!
Yeah, ooh!
[door clanging]
[Jox] Oh, shit!
[Jim] Never seen
a fight like that there.
Just stay right there,
sweetheart.
I'll be right with you.
Boys, boys, take a minute.
I'll be done with her
real quick, at least I hope so.
So just chill-out.
Oh, wow, look at you.
You ready to start our
little dance, sweetheart?
Are you ready?
-[both grunting]
-[intense music]
[Floyd]
Oh, my gosh, lady.
Listen, I'm sorry to hit you,
lady. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I told my mama I wasn't
gonna hit no more girls,
'cause you were too pretty.
Oh, what do you got there?
Oh, I knew she was kinky.
Let's dance.
Go on now, girl, I got you.
[both grunting]
[intense music]
[gunshot]
I'm gonna put a bullet
right in their fucking head!
You drop them,
I'm gonna drop you.
It'll make the whole world
a lot safer.
Why are you doing this, man?
I thought you were with us.
I was never with you.
[somber music]
Nate, lower your gun.
We got a bigger problem
we have to deal with right now.
Yeah, like how the fuck
a crocodile get in here?
That wasn't
no crocodile, brother.
This is Louisiana,
that was a gator.
Crocodiles are greener.
[Jox] Yeah, well how the fuck
a big-ass gator get in here?
[Cody] Lower your weapons.
Look, I'll give
you what you want.
That's why you came here, right?
I never even wanted to be here.
Now, things back
the way they should be.
[Whitlock] Get back.
I told you, get back!
Sheriff, can you please
tell me how a alligator
got in your goddamn
police station?
-He's not alone.
-What?
You're shitting me.
There's at least four.
Two got Carter in
the storage room,
and another two out here
got pretty boy.
Omar?
What's left of him.
Shit.
Storm brought 'em in.
[Floyd] After Hurricane Ida,
my sister's husband got eaten
right in front of her
in the front lawn.
It was two weeks before they
found what was left of him,
inside of a 500-pound
gator's belly.
Storm like Ida,
and this one right here,
don't just displace people.
Yeah.
Push all kinds of
gators and wildlife
into buildings, just like this.
And they get desperate,
just like us.
Yeah, we're up to our assholes
in alligators.
[laughs]
-Jesus.
-This motherfucker.
Too soon?
We've got a real situation here.
Who the hell put you
in charge, inmate?
Nobody.
He's all right.
He ain't all right,
he's a goddamn cop killer.
Been watching him
this whole time, trust him.
[Stamper] For the last
15 fucking minutes?
[Whitlock] Yes, sir.
[Stamper] Famous last words,
Deputy Dipshit.
We gotta get outta here.
Where are you gonna go?
The whole town's flooded.
It's dangerous outside,
there's nowhere to go.
Omar, Rafe, and Carter are dead.
We just gotta get
the fuck outta here.
Yeah, and how're
you gonna do that?
We have jet skis
outside waiting.
Oh, that's what's up, man.
Let's go get 'em.
Just two!
I hate to piss on
everybody's birthday cake,
but maybe you forgetting
about what happened to
his boss right there.
[Floyd]
I ain't going out that door
with a big fucking
gator out there.
I ain't afraid of no
fucking alligator.
Well, you should be.
It don't matter how big,
or how strong you are.
Those things out there
been eating shit
bigger than you and me
since the dinosaurs was here.
And I've been tangling with
'em out there in the swamps
since I was knee-high
to a crawfish.
Shit, this whole station could
be infested with 'em by now.
We gotta get outta here.
This whole place is flooded.
We're gonna be swimming soon.
Man, fuck this shit, dawg.
We deep in gator shit.
People from the ghetto
ain't supposed to die like this.
So what's the plan, Sheriff?
-We're gonna go up.
-Up where?
There's two other levels.
We're gonna go to the top
and sit it out.
Those other levels ain't safe.
You got a better idea?
You're the sheriff, Sheriff.
[Angelo clears throat]
Any one of you geniuses
wanna tell me how
we're getting up there?
If you want to
survive the night,
we're gonna have to
find a way to get along.
As unpleasant as that might be.
Man, fuck this.
You wish.
Yeah, I ain't working
with these assholes.
Well, it's time to
make a decision.
[tense music]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
[alligator growling]
[panting]
All right, we're good.
[tense music]
[Cody grunting]
-Okay.
-[Newman] Okay.
All right.
All right, let's go.
I don't wanna be last.
Man, that thing
high up there, man.
[panting]
[water burbling]
He's right.
[metal clangs]
[grunting]
-All right.
-Let's go.
You heard her.
This is bullshit.
Get your Sasquatch ass
up there, man.
Fuck you, Thug Life.
Knock it off, let's go!
I'll race you to them jet skis.
Bet.
Move, move, move, move, move!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
-[metal clanging]
-[alligator growling]
[panting]
[grunting]
Come on, climb, motherfucker!
Come on now, I made it
up here, so can you!
[alligator growling]
All right, hurry up, let's go!
Jox, you're up next.
Get your ass up there.
All right, man.
-I'm coming right up.
-What the fuck?
I can't go up?
I'm sick and tired
of being gator bait
down here in this motherfucker.
You got the goddamn mark
of the beast on your forehead.
Are you fucking serious?
This is discrimination.
Discrimination, my ass.
Tell it to the judge.
What are you waiting for?
Hey, man, I was thinking,
why don't you go up there first?
I don't quite trust that weight.
I'll hold it down down here.
I'll show you
how it's done. Goddamn.
[Whitlock grunting]
-[metal creaking]
-[Whitlock grunting]
Yeah.
Goddamn.
[growling]
Let's go, let's go!
Yeah, I'm okay, I just got this
little thing with heights.
[grunting]
[suspenseful music]
Anybody but me curious
about how that door
got open down there?
[alligator growling]
-Everyone, out!
-Hold on, what?
The door behind you!
-[Newman] Hurry, hurry, hurry!
-Damn!
No, no, the splashing draws 'em!
[growling]
[Jim] Come on, man!
[Newman] Let's go, let's go!
[all grunting]
-[Nate grunting]
-Get up there, Nate.
Get up there, Nate.
Go, go, go, move, move, move!
[Stamper] Take this.
-Up here, now!
-Come on, man!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, let's go!
Oh, fuck!
-Come up!
-Come on, man!
Floyd, move, move, move!
[grunting]
[growling]
[grunting]
Help me, brother.
Give me your hand, please!
Give me your hand, I need help.
You need some help?
Yes, please!
[emotional music]
Thanks.
Thanks. Help me, man,
I don't wanna die here.
I've got you.
Okay.
Yeah.
[alligator growling]
Oh, fuck. Oh, goddamn it.
Oh, fuck.
-[alligator growling]
-[Floyd screams]
Move, move, move!
Hang on, move!
[gunfire]
[Floyd grunting]
[alligator growling]
[alligator snarling]
[bones crunching]
[gasps]
[alligator growling]
-[gun fires]
-[alligator screeches]
Lord have mercy, did you
see the size of that thing?
That was one big son of a bitch.
Not bad there, Deputy.
I hear they taste like chicken.
I never heard that.
[alligator growling]
-[screaming]
-Got you!
Fuck!
-Goddamn!
-[Nate] Gators, man.
We're all gonna get
fucking eaten alive.
[all panting]
[breathing heavily]
It's not your fault.
[sighs]
Let's keep moving.
-[rain pattering]
-[wind whistling]
[metal popping]
Wait, wait, I think
we can get through here.
All right, let's go.
[rain pattering]
[thunder rumbling]
[Jox] I'mma sue the shit outta
the state for mistreatment.
Good luck with that.
Motherfucking bugs, no food,
no water we can actually drink,
and now we got
man-eating gators.
And if y'all didn't know, niggas
and gators don't get along.
At least we know
how the water's getting in.
There's so many leaks
in this ceiling.
This whole place
is like a house of cards.
That's just great.
This day just gets
better and better.
Okay, guys, you know what?
Just wait here a second,
I need to think.
I don't know about you fuckers,
but I'm breaking myself
out of this bitch
as soon as I get the chance.
Oh, yeah?
You bet your ass.
All we gotta do is take out
these two bitches, and we gone.
Ghosts.
How many rounds do you got left?
I got two in the shotgun,
and I got nine, maybe
ten in the sidearm.
Okay.
I'm gonna have to go upstairs,
see what's up there.
[Jim] Just how exactly
do you plan
on getting out of town, huh?
You don't strike me
as an Olympic swimmer.
Homeboy over here has got
the fucking jet skis.
-[Jim] If they even still there.
-Shh.
In case you ain't forgot,
there's a storm raging outside.
They'll be there.
Forgive me if I don't
share your enthusiasm,
but this little
shit stain of a town
gonna be crawling with police
once the storm pass.
Nah, sorry hoss.
That's a fool's errand.
[Angelo]
You're the only fool that I see.
Everyone here is
looking at hard time,
and I ain't going.
What about you, Thug Life?
I'm with you, big guy.
I fuckin' hate jail.
I think that's
the point, friend.
Sheriff said you killed
someone, is that true?
Why, you writing a book?
Mm, just curious.
Caught my old lady in bed
with another dude.
So you shot him?
Not him... her.
That's no way to treat a lady.
[chuckles]
Listen to you, cop killer.
She ain't ever gonna
love you, cop killer.
All right, Cody, Jox,
upstairs with me, let's go.
What we going up there for?
[Newman] We need to check
things out, let's go.
Rest of you dick holes
are staying here with me.
Lucky us.
How do alligators
even get upstairs?
Gators can climb.
-No shit?
-No shit.
Watch your step.
Goddamn, it's musty
as shit up here,
and cold as a motherfucker.
I'll call the concierge.
[Jox]
You gotta do something.
[Newman] No one's been up here
for years, including me.
[Jox] What the hell we
'posed to find up here, lady?
[Newman] I don't know,
find a weapon or something.
[Jox] Now, I like that,
I can do that.
[eerie music]
[growling]
[Jox] Ain't found
no weapons yet.
I'm gonna keep on looking.
So what's your story?
Your friends that are trying
to break you out of here?
You don't seem like them,
and they didn't
like you very much.
Must be something important
to go through all of this.
You know, I was in Afghanistan,
way back,
before everyone pulled out,
that whole shit show?
Got a dishonorable discharge
for having an argument
with my CO.
[Newman] Problem with authority.
He gave me an order that
I didn't sign up for.
Unfortunately, our argument
got a little physical.
Oh, yeah,
that's a big mistake.
[Cody] When I got back,
I couldn't get a job.
Turns out, there's not much
work for a disgraced soldier.
Yeah, but I still don't get
the cop-killer thing.
Did whatever I could
to make money.
I became a driver,
delivering packages
for certain types of people,
that kind of thing.
One day, I delivered
this package to Rafe.
He and I got to talking.
Turns out, he and his gang,
all ex-military,
similar stories to mine.
He offers me $20,000 to be
getaway driver for this job
where he guaranteed that
no one would get hurt, no one.
Got to them throwing
these huge bags of money
in the backseat of that car,
but before they got in,
cops showed up
and Rafe turns on a dime,
and shoots the first cop
six times, dead to center.
Rest of his gang
take out the other two,
and before they get in,
I hit the pedal to the floor.
So you drove off with the money?
I sat there
and debated for a while.
I stashed the money,
went to the rendezvous point
where we were supposed to
meet up if we got separated,
only they weren't there.
Somehow the cops showed up,
and I got busted,
and Rafe and them all got away.
But you did the crime.
Now I'm doing the time.
[tense music]
"High performance
protective coatings."
I oughta use this
as lubrication.
I'm not a good man, far from it.
It's the biggest mistake
I've made
in a long list of mistakes.
But I like to think
that you're right.
About what?
That I'm not like them.
[growling]
[growling]
[ominous music]
Fuck me.
Shoot him.
Wait.
[growling]
Hold.
Wait, grab my gun.
Grab it.
[growling]
-Shoot!
-[gunfire]
-[alligator roars]
-[Jox screams]
[distant gunfire]
-[Newman] Reloading.
-Shoot this motherfucker!
Goddamn!
Shoot this motherfucker, please.
Dear God!
[gun cocks]
[Stamper] Cover me.
[gun cocks]
[Jox] Shoot this motherfucker!
He's killing me!
Shoot this motherfucker,
please. I got a family!
[Jim] Get down!
[grunting]
-Wait, no!
-[gunshot]
[both screaming]
[both grunting]
[ominous music]
[grunting]
Whoo!
[panting]
[gunfire]
Right there!
No!
[alligator growling]
-[gun firing]
-[alligator roaring]
[Jox screams]
Jet skis, let's go.
[chuckles]
You fucked up, Jim.
[Jim panting]
Let's fucking go!
Okay.
[rubble clattering]
[gurgling]
[growling]
[screaming]
[gun clicking]
[yells]
Go on now.
Let Big Jim take care of this.
[alligator growling]
Hey there, beauty.
You's a big one, ain't ya?
Come on, now.
[snarling]
Big Jim got something for ya.
Yeah, come on now.
[alligator snarling]
[Jim grunting]
[alligator growling]
Get outta here!
Let me handle this.
[alligator growling]
You didn't like that, did ya?
Well, Big Jim got
something for ya.
-[alligator growling]
-[Jim panting]
[alligator groaning]
[Jim grunting]
[kisses, laughs]
Oh!
-[alligator growling]
-[Jim grunting]
[alligator snarling]
[Jim screaming]
Let's go.
[alligator growling]
[gunshot]
[alligator whines]
This one thought I was dead,
and was saving me for later.
Now I'm gonna make
boots out of him.
Can't believe
I'm gonna say this, Rafe,
but I'm really glad to see you.
Protecting my investment.
We've gotta move.
We've gotta get to the jet skis
if we're gonna
make it outta here.
You guys go,
I'll be right behind you.
No, we're not leaving you.
Trust me, I've got a plan.
[tense music]
You've got one shot, Sheriff.
[breathing deeply]
[alligator growling]
[alarms blaring]
Hey. Here.
We fucking did it, we did it.
Let's go.
What?
What do you mean, what?
Okay. I've got the fucking keys,
man, let's go.
We did it.
I'm not leaving her.
What did you say?
Maybe you're not
thinking straight.
I've got the keys,
we're leaving her,
and we're going right now.
Are you out of
your fucking mind?
[both grunting]
I said, I'm not leaving her.
Who said I'm leaving her?
I'm gonna kill her.
[dramatic music]
[growling]
We have no choice.
We have no choice.
I won't let you
kill another cop.
[both grunting]
Wait.
Stop.
Okay.
[dramatic music]
[alligators growling]
Now, Cody, you know we can't.
The county sheriff...
she knows what we look like.
She knows who we are.
You've gotta let it go,
it's over for us both.
Do you get that?
I won't leave her.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, I think you're right.
We'll save the cop.
[both grunting]
[gasping]
[sighs deeply]
[gunshot]
[explosion]
Sorry, partner.
[Cody burbling]
[Cody gasping]
[Cody] Now, where are
those damn jet skis?
[tense music]
[Cody] Are you gonna lock
me back up now, huh?
The way I see it...
I got five dead convicts
to report.
Are you serious?
Guess none of you were
just badass enough
to get through a dangerous
storm with man-eating reptiles.
I've been meaning to
ask you something.
Yeah, what's that?
Your friends
who stole the money,
what'd they do with it?
[jet ski starts]
I'll be seeing
you around, Sheriff.

Fuck.

Dude, it's a fucking hurricane.
What's that gonna do?
Well, unless you plan
on out running it,
it's the best we got
till it passes.
[hammer knocking]
What's your name anyway?
Summer.
Clarence.
Been here long?
Six months.
I was in a band...
and we broke up.
All the fuckers moved home,
left me with the rent
that I can't make, obviously.
It sounds familiar.
Gimme a hand?
Looks like you got it.
You know, I had some friends
come through town yesterday
offered me
a ride up to Arkansas.
[hammer knocking]
Should have taken it.
Didn't think the second coming
of Hurricane Katrina
would lock us in her sights.
You even old enough
to remember Katrina?
I was six. Just old enough
to remember levees breaking.
[door opening]
Oh, shit.
Goddamn wind.
I got this one.
Mind seeing if there's
anything we can burn
that won't level the place?
Wouldn't count on it.

You know I was in a band once.
Uh.

Yo, he trying to kill us
out here or what?
[Elkins] He's right you know.
I can hardly see a
goddamn thing up here.
It's a shit show.
[Elkins] I told you
we should've turned back.
But Shane fucking left
with the goddamn forecast.
You know, that's why I only
trust this weather app.
Sooner we drop these sweethearts
off the better, right?
[Elkins] I don't know.
I think we should pull over
and wait the storm out.
[Stamper] Oh yeah? And when
you think that's gonna be?
I don't know. Why don't
you ask that weather app?
Yeah, it ain't going
anywhere anytime soon.
God's gonna be pissing on us
for the rest of the night.
Well, it's only gonna
get worse at dark.
Eh, you know, Lutree's
pretty close to here.
Why don't you radio
that sheriff and see
if she doesn't mind
taking us in for the night.
-[Stamper] The pretty one?
-[Elkins] That's right.
Yeah, I'm sure she'll just
roll out the red carpet
for all of us.
Well, it's better than crashing
and letting a bunch of
inmates escape, isn't it?
Okay. Truck's full of gas.
Skis are ready to go.
Keys are on Omar.
As far as those keys go,
you give them to
no one except me?
-You copy that.
-Copy.
Okay.
God looked down
on the human race
and He saw wickedness, violence,
and evil everywhere.
It's the story of the flood.
It symbolizes God's punishment
for sin... [indistinct]
That's comforting.
Let's get
these things loaded up
and let's move. Come on.
[rain pattering]
[soft tense music]
[exhales]
[footsteps plodding]
The storm has already
decimated the Caribbean.
Copy that.
Drive safe out there.
[Newman]
You gotta be kidding me.
Where the hell is Pine?
I haven't seen him.
Never know with that guy though.
What is that?
Stress call.
Department of corrections.
And?
Got a bus full of prisoners
heading our way.
Got caught in the storm,
they need a place
to hunker down until it's safe.
-How many prisoners?
-Five.
Jeez, why didn't
you come tell me?
Well, state of Louisiana
is gonna be underwater
by bacon and eggs time.
All right.
Keep an eye up for the bus.
Tell Deputy Pine
if he wants to keep his job,
to find me immediately.
[reporter] ...to evacuate
across three states.
You're the sheriff, Sheriff.
[reporter]
...the combined states
of Louisiana and Alabama.
Nearly seven million told to
evacuate across three states.
Already hundreds of
thousands without power.

-Here comes our ride.
Lock and load.
[guns racking]

[Omar] Where the hell
are they going?
I thought they were
supposed to turn.
So what the fuck's up, Rafe?
Change of plans. Follow 'em.

-[footsteps plodding]

Oh, hey, Sheriff. Whitlock
said you wanted to see me?
Yes, I did.
[Pine] Okay. What's up?
Look at my feet.
Didn't I ask you to
stack some sandbags
in the alley near the back door?
Yes, ma'am.
But Whitlock asked me
to mop the cells, so--
Well, now you're
on sandbag duty.
Rain is pouring down.
I got a busload
of prisoners coming in.
And if you'd done
what I'd asked,
we wouldn't be walking
around in gumbo right now.
Sorry, Sheriff. Uh, I'm on it.
Hey, wait, did you just say
we have prisoners coming in?
-Pine.
-Anyone famous?
I'm on it. I'm on it.

are they doing outside
of the goddamn police station?
[dramatic music]
[footsteps plodding]
[Elkins] Ah, thanks for taking
us in tonight, Sheriff.
Dale Elkins, Department
of Corrections.
Probably heard of me before.
Couldn't leave you to drown
out there, now could we?
To tell you the truth,
it might be better
if some of them actually did.
[laughs]
You know we don't have any food
or enough holding cells?
Radios and trial line's
been in and outta service
ever since the storm started.
Gotta be honest
with you, Elkins.
I've had enough
problems here tonight
without having you here.
Well, I guess we won't be
feeding them after midnight.
That's a movie reference.
We'll try and be
as painless as possible.
Okay, I'm gonna go
get the gremlins.
Follow me.
[alligator bellowing]
-[grunts]
-[dramatic music]
I can't fucking believe this.
[Pine grunting]
[alligator roaring]
[Nate] I say we just
get the hell outta here.
We ain't going nowhere,
and neither are they.
Our whole plan is fucked now.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, well,
we ain't turning back.
All right, if you numb nuts
couldn't tell,
there's a raging storm
going on out there.
Roads are too dangerous
to drive,
and we wanna make sure
y'all make it
to your final destinations safe.
So we prepared
accommodations for y'all
at the Lutree Sheriff's
Department for tonight.
[thunder clapping]
[Rafe] You remember Yemen,
right?
I keep telling you, this storm,
it works in our favor.
And it's good for us.
Take a look where we are.
Yeah, outside of
a goddamn police station
in the middle of
a fucking 50-year storm.
I want you on your best behavior
while we're here.
Think of this as a...
a field trip.
For some of you, this'll be
the last one you ever get.
There gonna be ice cream?
Banana split
in this motherfucker.
I like me chocolate.
Shut the fuck up.
laughing]
[dramatic music]
This is our chance.
This is our chance, and we
are gonna bust on in there,
and we are gonna get him out.
[Nate] Yeah, there's
cops in there.
[Rafe] Like we've never
taken down no cops before
if we had to.
Can't be more than four or
five of them on duty anyways.
I don't think so.
I mean, the prisoners came out.
There's only two of them.
If there was more,
we would've seen them.
[Rafe] You know, she's right.
Here's what we're gonna do.
When we're done,
we're gonna ditch the truck.
We're gonna meet
at the rendezvous point
on the jet skis as we planned.
Then on, we can go our
merry fucking ways.
As long as this storm
keeps falling like it is,
don't think anybody's
gonna stop us.
[door buzzing]
-[Stamper] All right.
-[gate clattering]
Single-file line, gentlemen.
Act like you wanna be here.
-[footsteps plodding]
-[water sloshing]
Do you wanna do the honors?
-It's your ship.
-Yeah, and it's sinking.
All right.
My name is Sheriff Newman.
This is Deputy Whitlock.
Welcome to the Lutree
on this very wet and stormy day.
Let's get a few things straight.
You're in my house now.
[inmates laughing]
[Stamper] Settle down.
Oh, shit, you settle down.
Just letting you know you better
be on your best behavior.
Don't be fooled by the fact
that I am a woman.
My father was
the sheriff in this town,
and he taught me how to use
a gun when I was four years old.
I will not hesitate
to shoot you if I have to.
[Floyd laughing]
Please, by all means,
fire away.
Well...
I'll be sure to aim right
at that stupid thing on
your forehead when I do.
Ah.
[clicks tongue]
Right in the kisser.
Fuck you, dark meat.
I bet your mama like dark meat.
What's your name, bullseye?
Floyd McGraw.
When I call your name,
I need you to step forward.
Big Jim Pruett?
Yes, ma'am.
How'd I guess?
Well, I reckon it says
they call me Big Jim
in your file there,
and I'm the--
I'm the second biggest one here.
[Newman] You reckoned right.
Says you're looking at a nickel,
drug charge, second offense.
Well, you know what's
trailer trash, ma'am.
We only go for two things.
Yeah, what's that?
Cooking meth and growing weed.
Okay, step back, Big Jim.
Jonathan Apone.
Who the fuck is that though?
Look here, ma'am.
I haven't heard that name
in a long time.
Where I'm from, everybody
call me Jack Boy Jox,
the neighborhood jacker.
Only my mama call me Jonathan,
unless you wanna
be my White mama.
How's your mama feel about
her boy doing time in jail?
Well, mama was just mad
I got caught.
I didn't make it home that night
to pay that rent.
My little brothers and sisters
on the motherfucking
street... evicted.
Now, I'm in here
with you White folks.
Thank you, Jonathan.
You can step back.
Angelo Cooper, is it?
That's correct.
Step forward.
Murder one.
It's big.
I got a big dick, too.
You ever seen one?
Not one this ugly.
Step back.
[Angelo] You're feisty.
I like feisty.
That must make you...
Russell Cody, ma'am.
That's a bonafide cop killer
right there, Sheriff.
Ain't that right, Russell Cody?
Anybody kills a cop should burn,
spend the rest of their time
in hell as far as I'm concerned.
Step back, Mr. Cody.
All right. As you can see, it's
a tight squeeze here tonight,
and we're not food prepped,
so this isn't gonna
be fun for any of us.
It's a bitch of a squall
out there, so we're just gonna
have to make the most of it
until the morning.
Understood?
-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
[wind howling]
[clicking]
[Elkins]
You sure got nice nails, Jox.
I appreciate that there, boy.
Feel good.
My girlfriend told me to get one
of those manicures you've got,
but I don't know...
Seems a little girly.
[Jox] Hey, y'all.
Y'all don't think this is cruel
and unusual right here?
I can't even do my pushups.
Oh, I'm sorry, baby,
poor sweetheart.
Why don't y'all just make
yourselves comfortable, okay?
We're gonna be here
for a minute.
Hope y'all can swim.
What you think, Black people
can't swim or something?
[laughs] Got our resident
comedian in here, huh, Jox?
Why don't you go
sit your ass down?
Yeah, let me out this cage
and see what happens.
I'mma tase your ass
is what's gonna happen.
[Jox] All right.
All right.
[Stamper] It'll feel real good
in this water, too.
-Okay, okay.
-[keys jangling]
Where the hell is Pine?
Correction ain't seen nothing.
-[glass shattering]
-Get down.
-[gunshots]
-[dramatic music]
Was that gunfire?
No, that's probably
just thunder.
[water sloshing]
[gunshots]
[gun clanking]
Oh, they popping off.
They're definitely gunfire.
Reminds me of
goddamn Afghanistan.
Goddammit,
there ain't no signal.
Yeah, sheriff said
it's been that way
since the storm started.
What the hell have you two
ass clowns gotten us into now?
What the hell are
you doing, Elkins?
Don't do anything stupid.
I'm gonna go check it out.
I just said
don't do anything stupid.
He's right, Elkins.
Listen to him.
You stay here and watch them.
[sighs] Son of a bitch.
[groans]
Goddamn it.
[gunshots]
[Omar] Clear.
Watch your six.
[dramatic music]
[thunder rumbling]
[mouthing]
How many of you
are still in here?
Who the fuck are you?
Well, it seems like you may
have a little flooding problem
in here today, Sheriff.
It rains, it pours.
[Rafe] Yes, it does.
Besides yourself
and the two guards
that were on the bus,
how many others
are still here?
And don't lie to me.
It's just us.
[Rafe] Okay, then, then this
is what we're gonna do.
You're gonna toss
out your weapons,
and you're gonna come out from
behind there nice and slowly.
That's what we're gonna do.
[dramatic music]
How do I know
you're not gonna shoot us?
Well...
Freeze.
-[gun cocks]
-[gunshot]
[Elkins grunting]
[thudding]
[Omar grunting]
[Rafe] I told you
not to lie to me, Sheriff.
[Newman]
All right, we're coming out.
[Rafe] There you go.
Come on, nice and easy.
Put the gun down right there.
You, too, put it down, down.
-[guns thudding]
-Kick it.
-[gun clanking]
-Step back.
-You okay, man?
-Do I freaking look okay to you?
Any more shit like that,
and both of you will be dead.
Do you understand me?
Do you understand that,
Deputy Sugar?
I understood, we don't
want any problems.
The prisoners who were
dropped here off the bus,
where are they?
Don't you run on me, Sheriff.
To the back... back door.
That's good.
You're gonna guide us
back there nice and easy.
Then, you're gonna take us
to the cell of one
they call Russell Cody.
You got that?
-Got it.
-Good.
Nate,
bandage him up.
Keep an eye on the back door.
Well, those boots were made
for walking, right, Sheriff?
Let's walk.
You should probably
go check on your boy,
don't you think, man?
I'm here watching y'all.
Yeah, you watching us, but we
ain't the ones getting shot at.
There's a change for
your Black ass, huh?
You do know
the Nazis lost the war,
you White redneck, hillbilly,
inbred piece of shit?
Not in here, boy.
Look at all the White faces.
Who the fuck you calling a boy?
[laughing] You.
Shut the fuck up!
What the hell's going
on up there, Sheriff?
Put the gun down, Stamper.
Where the hell is Elkins?
Put the fucking gun down.
Put the gun down.
[Rafe] Put it down.
Let me figure
it out for you, ace.
You're outnumbered.
You're outgunned.
You put it down or you don't,
but there's only one outcome
that keeps you breathing.
There you go, nice and easy.
There you go.
-[gun thudding]
-And that one, too.
[gun clanking]
Very good, very slow.
-[gun thudding]
-Up you get.
Step back.
I said step back.
[Jox] Hell, yeah, that's
the fuck I'm talking about.
[Floyd] Let us out
of this cage, White brother.
[Jox] Hey, dawg, gimme
-that gun right there.
-Hey.
Pass me that right there, dawg.
-I got your back.
-Hey.
I got your back, dawg.
[Floyd] You were
someone's White baby once.
Hey.
What the hell
you doing here, Rafe?
Howdy, Cody.
Didn't expect on
seeing us, now, did you?
Sheriff?
[keys jangling]
[gate clattering]
Me and you have got
a lot of catching up to do.
Omar's getting
pretty bad out there.
We got him.
Now let's go.
[Floyd] We can help you.
Hey, my man, I can stop
the bleeding for him.
-We can help you.
-Nobody's going nowhere.
Fuck your problem?
Surveillance cameras,
where are they?
-The cameras are broken.
-Don't bullshit me, Sheriff.
She ain't lying.
Rats ate the wire.
Kid you not.
[Rafe] I don't care.
I wanna see for myself.
He's right.
Where are they?
In the storage room.
Move, storage room it is.
You, get the fuck in there.
Go. Lock him up.
Move it.
Welcome to the
Lutree Hotel and Spa.
Fresh meat. [laughs]
[Omar groaning]
[growling]
[Omar groaning]
[alligator growling]
[alligator roaring]
-Oh, shit.
-[alligator roaring]
[Omar screaming]
[thunder rumbling]
What?
Nothing, I was just thinking.
About?
Your face.
I don't know.
We kinda look alike.
Makes me think
what I coulda done.
I coulda been a cop, probably
a pretty good one, too.
But I guess that's what
happens when one grows up
in a good family, reassurance,
a little confidence.
You're gonna blame
your upbringing?
Heard that one before.
What, you got daddy issues?
You have no idea
how my daddy broke my heart.
But someone like you
wouldn't understand that now,
would you?
You have absolutely no idea
what I'm capable of,
so you better shut
your fucking mouth
before it gets you into trouble.
You don't have to do this.
[laughs]
Yeah, sorry, babe.
Rafe ain't leaving here
until he gets what he wants.
And when he does,
I'm walking outta here.
Move the fuck.
Let's go.
[Cody] I know what you guys
are doing here, Rafe.
It's not gonna work.
You should get outta here
while you still can.
What... What I had planned?
Well, you know exactly
what I'm doing here,
and that sounds like
a threat to me, Cody.
Think of it however you want,
but look outside...
it's not me you should
be worried about.
But you see, it is you
I'm worried about.
We come all this way,
and we went through all this
to break you outta here,
and that's exactly
what we're gonna do.
Elkins is dead?
Sorry.
I know it ain't easy
losing one of your own.
[Whitlock sighs]
We gotta do something.
[Whitlock sighs]
What the hell?
Somebody needs to get
a damn plumber in here.
Shit.
Okay, let's go, move.
You seriously wanna go there?
Yeah.
Looks like Atlantis in here.
Come on, let's go.
-Wait. Look.
-Move.
See those wires?
It's a surveillance camera.
Clearly, it's not working.
Whose jacket is that?
It's mine.
All right, let's go.
Wait.
Do you see that?
-[Carter] What?
-[Newman] Flashlight.
[Carter] So?
So, we need to go check it out.
Oh, now you wanna go down there.
You wanna have a wet
T-shirt contest, too?
I'm not gonna do anything.
I just need to check it.
Okay, well don't try
anything funny.
-I'm right behind your ass.
-I'm not.
[water sloshing]
-You hear that?
-What?
I don't hear anything.
[Carter] Holy fuck.
[gasping]
[growling]
Jesus fucking Christ.
[growling]
[both breathing heavily]
[gunshots]
Stop shooting.
-The tank... the tank, stop.
-[Carter gasping]
[breathing deeply]
[alligator roaring]
[gunshots]
[distant gunshots]
[Carter screaming]
[alligator roaring]
Oh, shit.
[grunting]
[alligator roaring]
-[alligator roaring]
-[grunting]
[gasping]
[bones crunching]
[line beeping]
That ain't gonna work in here.
Ain't no service.
[line beeping]
Keep an eye on him.
This could be
our chance right here.
Chance for what?
We're locked in here.
[metal clanging]
[ominous music]
[gun clicks]
[panting]
[water rushing]
Where's Carter?
In there.
Alligators?
How'd you know?
[dramatic music]
Shit.
-[alligator growling]
-[intense music]
[alligators growling]
[intense music continues]
Hey, boss, please
don't leave us in here
to drown with the pigs.
If it was up to me,
I wouldn't be here right now.
Me neither, bruh.
Please let us out.
We gotta do something.
-[knocks]
-Open the door.
[bangs on door]
-Open the fucking door!
-Where's Rafe?
Open!
[Rafe] Open the door.
[Nate] What the hell's
going on out there?
[all clamoring]
Goddamn, man!
Hey, close that door!
-[alligator roaring]
-[Rafe grunts]
-[alligator snarling]
-Fuck!
[screaming]
Fuck, don't let me go!
Close the fucking door!
Don't you let me go!
No!
Close the fucking door now!
[door shuts]
[alligator thuds]
[panting]
[gunshot]
[Whitlock] Oh, shit.
-[Nate] Back up!
-All right.
Back up!
[Whitlock] Better do
what he says, Sheriff.
What are you doing?
I kill her...
we kill them.
[Jox] Oh-oh.
[tense music]
No witnesses.
[locks buzzing]
[Newman grunting]
[Jox] Oh, man. Oh!
Damn, you gonna hurt
a lady, huh?
[Whitlock] Hey, get your
hands off her, man.
[groaning]
[Jox] Oh, shit!
[Whitlock] Get him!
-Get off her, man!
-[Jox] Oh!
[inmates shouting]
[Newman grunting]
-[Jox] Yeah, kick his ass!
-Woo!
-Kick his ass!
-[grunts]
Oh, shit!
Yeah, ooh!
[door clanging]
[Jox] Oh, shit!
[Jim] Never seen
a fight like that there.
Just stay right there,
sweetheart.
I'll be right with you.
Boys, boys, take a minute.
I'll be done with her
real quick, at least I hope so.
So just chill-out.
Oh, wow, look at you.
You ready to start our
little dance, sweetheart?
Are you ready?
-[both grunting]
-[intense music]
[Floyd]
Oh, my gosh, lady.
Listen, I'm sorry to hit you,
lady. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I told my mama I wasn't
gonna hit no more girls,
'cause you were too pretty.
Oh, what do you got there?
Oh, I knew she was kinky.
Let's dance.
Go on now, girl, I got you.
[both grunting]
[intense music]
[gunshot]
I'm gonna put a bullet
right in their fucking head!
You drop them,
I'm gonna drop you.
It'll make the whole world
a lot safer.
Why are you doing this, man?
I thought you were with us.
I was never with you.
[somber music]
Nate, lower your gun.
We got a bigger problem
we have to deal with right now.
Yeah, like how the fuck
a crocodile get in here?
That wasn't
no crocodile, brother.
This is Louisiana,
that was a gator.
Crocodiles are greener.
[Jox] Yeah, well how the fuck
a big-ass gator get in here?
[Cody] Lower your weapons.
Look, I'll give
you what you want.
That's why you came here, right?
I never even wanted to be here.
Now, things back
the way they should be.
[Whitlock] Get back.
I told you, get back!
Sheriff, can you please
tell me how a alligator
got in your goddamn
police station?
-He's not alone.
-What?
You're shitting me.
There's at least four.
Two got Carter in
the storage room,
and another two out here
got pretty boy.
Omar?
What's left of him.
Shit.
Storm brought 'em in.
[Floyd] After Hurricane Ida,
my sister's husband got eaten
right in front of her
in the front lawn.
It was two weeks before they
found what was left of him,
inside of a 500-pound
gator's belly.
Storm like Ida,
and this one right here,
don't just displace people.
Yeah.
Push all kinds of
gators and wildlife
into buildings, just like this.
And they get desperate,
just like us.
Yeah, we're up to our assholes
in alligators.
[laughs]
-Jesus.
-This motherfucker.
Too soon?
We've got a real situation here.
Who the hell put you
in charge, inmate?
Nobody.
He's all right.
He ain't all right,
he's a goddamn cop killer.
Been watching him
this whole time, trust him.
[Stamper] For the last
15 fucking minutes?
[Whitlock] Yes, sir.
[Stamper] Famous last words,
Deputy Dipshit.
We gotta get outta here.
Where are you gonna go?
The whole town's flooded.
It's dangerous outside,
there's nowhere to go.
Omar, Rafe, and Carter are dead.
We just gotta get
the fuck outta here.
Yeah, and how're
you gonna do that?
We have jet skis
outside waiting.
Oh, that's what's up, man.
Let's go get 'em.
Just two!
I hate to piss on
everybody's birthday cake,
but maybe you forgetting
about what happened to
his boss right there.
[Floyd]
I ain't going out that door
with a big fucking
gator out there.
I ain't afraid of no
fucking alligator.
Well, you should be.
It don't matter how big,
or how strong you are.
Those things out there
been eating shit
bigger than you and me
since the dinosaurs was here.
And I've been tangling with
'em out there in the swamps
since I was knee-high
to a crawfish.
Shit, this whole station could
be infested with 'em by now.
We gotta get outta here.
This whole place is flooded.
We're gonna be swimming soon.
Man, fuck this shit, dawg.
We deep in gator shit.
People from the ghetto
ain't supposed to die like this.
So what's the plan, Sheriff?
-We're gonna go up.
-Up where?
There's two other levels.
We're gonna go to the top
and sit it out.
Those other levels ain't safe.
You got a better idea?
You're the sheriff, Sheriff.
[Angelo clears throat]
Any one of you geniuses
wanna tell me how
we're getting up there?
If you want to
survive the night,
we're gonna have to
find a way to get along.
As unpleasant as that might be.
Man, fuck this.
You wish.
Yeah, I ain't working
with these assholes.
Well, it's time to
make a decision.
[tense music]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
[alligator growling]
[panting]
All right, we're good.
[tense music]
[Cody grunting]
-Okay.
-[Newman] Okay.
All right.
All right, let's go.
I don't wanna be last.
Man, that thing
high up there, man.
[panting]
[water burbling]
He's right.
[metal clangs]
[grunting]
-All right.
-Let's go.
You heard her.
This is bullshit.
Get your Sasquatch ass
up there, man.
Fuck you, Thug Life.
Knock it off, let's go!
I'll race you to them jet skis.
Bet.
Move, move, move, move, move!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
-[metal clanging]
-[alligator growling]
[panting]
[grunting]
Come on, climb, motherfucker!
Come on now, I made it
up here, so can you!
[alligator growling]
All right, hurry up, let's go!
Jox, you're up next.
Get your ass up there.
All right, man.
-I'm coming right up.
-What the fuck?
I can't go up?
I'm sick and tired
of being gator bait
down here in this motherfucker.
You got the goddamn mark
of the beast on your forehead.
Are you fucking serious?
This is discrimination.
Discrimination, my ass.
Tell it to the judge.
What are you waiting for?
Hey, man, I was thinking,
why don't you go up there first?
I don't quite trust that weight.
I'll hold it down down here.
I'll show you
how it's done. Goddamn.
[Whitlock grunting]
-[metal creaking]
-[Whitlock grunting]
Yeah.
Goddamn.
[growling]
Let's go, let's go!
Yeah, I'm okay, I just got this
little thing with heights.
[grunting]
[suspenseful music]
Anybody but me curious
about how that door
got open down there?
[alligator growling]
-Everyone, out!
-Hold on, what?
The door behind you!
-[Newman] Hurry, hurry, hurry!
-Damn!
No, no, the splashing draws 'em!
[growling]
[Jim] Come on, man!
[Newman] Let's go, let's go!
[all grunting]
-[Nate grunting]
-Get up there, Nate.
Get up there, Nate.
Go, go, go, move, move, move!
[Stamper] Take this.
-Up here, now!
-Come on, man!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, let's go!
Oh, fuck!
-Come up!
-Come on, man!
Floyd, move, move, move!
[grunting]
[growling]
[grunting]
Help me, brother.
Give me your hand, please!
Give me your hand, I need help.
You need some help?
Yes, please!
[emotional music]
Thanks.
Thanks. Help me, man,
I don't wanna die here.
I've got you.
Okay.
Yeah.
[alligator growling]
Oh, fuck. Oh, goddamn it.
Oh, fuck.
-[alligator growling]
-[Floyd screams]
Move, move, move!
Hang on, move!
[gunfire]
[Floyd grunting]
[alligator growling]
[alligator snarling]
[bones crunching]
[gasps]
[alligator growling]
-[gun fires]
-[alligator screeches]
Lord have mercy, did you
see the size of that thing?
That was one big son of a bitch.
Not bad there, Deputy.
I hear they taste like chicken.
I never heard that.
[alligator growling]
-[screaming]
-Got you!
Fuck!
-Goddamn!
-[Nate] Gators, man.
We're all gonna get
fucking eaten alive.
[all panting]
[breathing heavily]
It's not your fault.
[sighs]
Let's keep moving.
-[rain pattering]
-[wind whistling]
[metal popping]
Wait, wait, I think
we can get through here.
All right, let's go.
[rain pattering]
[thunder rumbling]
[Jox] I'mma sue the shit outta
the state for mistreatment.
Good luck with that.
Motherfucking bugs, no food,
no water we can actually drink,
and now we got
man-eating gators.
And if y'all didn't know, niggas
and gators don't get along.
At least we know
how the water's getting in.
There's so many leaks
in this ceiling.
This whole place
is like a house of cards.
That's just great.
This day just gets
better and better.
Okay, guys, you know what?
Just wait here a second,
I need to think.
I don't know about you fuckers,
but I'm breaking myself
out of this bitch
as soon as I get the chance.
Oh, yeah?
You bet your ass.
All we gotta do is take out
these two bitches, and we gone.
Ghosts.
How many rounds do you got left?
I got two in the shotgun,
and I got nine, maybe
ten in the sidearm.
Okay.
I'm gonna have to go upstairs,
see what's up there.
[Jim] Just how exactly
do you plan
on getting out of town, huh?
You don't strike me
as an Olympic swimmer.
Homeboy over here has got
the fucking jet skis.
-[Jim] If they even still there.
-Shh.
In case you ain't forgot,
there's a storm raging outside.
They'll be there.
Forgive me if I don't
share your enthusiasm,
but this little
shit stain of a town
gonna be crawling with police
once the storm pass.
Nah, sorry hoss.
That's a fool's errand.
[Angelo]
You're the only fool that I see.
Everyone here is
looking at hard time,
and I ain't going.
What about you, Thug Life?
I'm with you, big guy.
I fuckin' hate jail.
I think that's
the point, friend.
Sheriff said you killed
someone, is that true?
Why, you writing a book?
Mm, just curious.
Caught my old lady in bed
with another dude.
So you shot him?
Not him... her.
That's no way to treat a lady.
[chuckles]
Listen to you, cop killer.
She ain't ever gonna
love you, cop killer.
All right, Cody, Jox,
upstairs with me, let's go.
What we going up there for?
[Newman] We need to check
things out, let's go.
Rest of you dick holes
are staying here with me.
Lucky us.
How do alligators
even get upstairs?
Gators can climb.
-No shit?
-No shit.
Watch your step.
Goddamn, it's musty
as shit up here,
and cold as a motherfucker.
I'll call the concierge.
[Jox]
You gotta do something.
[Newman] No one's been up here
for years, including me.
[Jox] What the hell we
'posed to find up here, lady?
[Newman] I don't know,
find a weapon or something.
[Jox] Now, I like that,
I can do that.
[eerie music]
[growling]
[Jox] Ain't found
no weapons yet.
I'm gonna keep on looking.
So what's your story?
Your friends that are trying
to break you out of here?
You don't seem like them,
and they didn't
like you very much.
Must be something important
to go through all of this.
You know, I was in Afghanistan,
way back,
before everyone pulled out,
that whole shit show?
Got a dishonorable discharge
for having an argument
with my CO.
[Newman] Problem with authority.
He gave me an order that
I didn't sign up for.
Unfortunately, our argument
got a little physical.
Oh, yeah,
that's a big mistake.
[Cody] When I got back,
I couldn't get a job.
Turns out, there's not much
work for a disgraced soldier.
Yeah, but I still don't get
the cop-killer thing.
Did whatever I could
to make money.
I became a driver,
delivering packages
for certain types of people,
that kind of thing.
One day, I delivered
this package to Rafe.
He and I got to talking.
Turns out, he and his gang,
all ex-military,
similar stories to mine.
He offers me $20,000 to be
getaway driver for this job
where he guaranteed that
no one would get hurt, no one.
Got to them throwing
these huge bags of money
in the backseat of that car,
but before they got in,
cops showed up
and Rafe turns on a dime,
and shoots the first cop
six times, dead to center.
Rest of his gang
take out the other two,
and before they get in,
I hit the pedal to the floor.
So you drove off with the money?
I sat there
and debated for a while.
I stashed the money,
went to the rendezvous point
where we were supposed to
meet up if we got separated,
only they weren't there.
Somehow the cops showed up,
and I got busted,
and Rafe and them all got away.
But you did the crime.
Now I'm doing the time.
[tense music]
"High performance
protective coatings."
I oughta use this
as lubrication.
I'm not a good man, far from it.
It's the biggest mistake
I've made
in a long list of mistakes.
But I like to think
that you're right.
About what?
That I'm not like them.
[growling]
[growling]
[ominous music]
Fuck me.
Shoot him.
Wait.
[growling]
Hold.
Wait, grab my gun.
Grab it.
[growling]
-Shoot!
-[gunfire]
-[alligator roars]
-[Jox screams]
[distant gunfire]
-[Newman] Reloading.
-Shoot this motherfucker!
Goddamn!
Shoot this motherfucker, please.
Dear God!
[gun cocks]
[Stamper] Cover me.
[gun cocks]
[Jox] Shoot this motherfucker!
He's killing me!
Shoot this motherfucker,
please. I got a family!
[Jim] Get down!
[grunting]
-Wait, no!
-[gunshot]
[both screaming]
[both grunting]
[ominous music]
[grunting]
Whoo!
[panting]
[gunfire]
Right there!
No!
[alligator growling]
-[gun firing]
-[alligator roaring]
[Jox screams]
Jet skis, let's go.
[chuckles]
You fucked up, Jim.
[Jim panting]
Let's fucking go!
Okay.
[rubble clattering]
[gurgling]
[growling]
[screaming]
[gun clicking]
[yells]
Go on now.
Let Big Jim take care of this.
[alligator growling]
Hey there, beauty.
You's a big one, ain't ya?
Come on, now.
[snarling]
Big Jim got something for ya.
Yeah, come on now.
[alligator snarling]
[Jim grunting]
[alligator growling]
Get outta here!
Let me handle this.
[alligator growling]
You didn't like that, did ya?
Well, Big Jim got
something for ya.
-[alligator growling]
-[Jim panting]
[alligator groaning]
[Jim grunting]
[kisses, laughs]
Oh!
-[alligator growling]
-[Jim grunting]
[alligator snarling]
[Jim screaming]
Let's go.
[alligator growling]
[gunshot]
[alligator whines]
This one thought I was dead,
and was saving me for later.
Now I'm gonna make
boots out of him.
Can't believe
I'm gonna say this, Rafe,
but I'm really glad to see you.
Protecting my investment.
We've gotta move.
We've gotta get to the jet skis
if we're gonna
make it outta here.
You guys go,
I'll be right behind you.
No, we're not leaving you.
Trust me, I've got a plan.
[tense music]
You've got one shot, Sheriff.
[breathing deeply]
[alligator growling]
[alarms blaring]
Hey. Here.
We fucking did it, we did it.
Let's go.
What?
What do you mean, what?
Okay. I've got the fucking keys,
man, let's go.
We did it.
I'm not leaving her.
What did you say?
Maybe you're not
thinking straight.
I've got the keys,
we're leaving her,
and we're going right now.
Are you out of
your fucking mind?
[both grunting]
I said, I'm not leaving her.
Who said I'm leaving her?
I'm gonna kill her.
[dramatic music]
[growling]
We have no choice.
We have no choice.
I won't let you
kill another cop.
[both grunting]
Wait.
Stop.
Okay.
[dramatic music]
[alligators growling]
Now, Cody, you know we can't.
The county sheriff...
she knows what we look like.
She knows who we are.
You've gotta let it go,
it's over for us both.
Do you get that?
I won't leave her.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, I think you're right.
We'll save the cop.
[both grunting]
[gasping]
[sighs deeply]
[gunshot]
[explosion]
Sorry, partner.
[Cody burbling]
[Cody gasping]
[Cody] Now, where are
those damn jet skis?
[tense music]
[Cody] Are you gonna lock
me back up now, huh?
The way I see it...
I got five dead convicts
to report.
Are you serious?
Guess none of you were
just badass enough
to get through a dangerous
storm with man-eating reptiles.
I've been meaning to
ask you something.
Yeah, what's that?
Your friends
who stole the money,
what'd they do with it?
[jet ski starts]
I'll be seeing
you around, Sheriff.
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
