[Character] Kate,
you're not writing my letter.
[Kate] I'm sorry. I was
just noticing your nose.
[Character] What's the matter with it?
[Kate] Oh, nothing. Nothing, it's just...
(thrilling music) (ground crunching)

Oh, Kate, I can get lost in your eyes.

Would you like me to make the reservation?

- Mommy?
- Morning, sweetie.
[Child] It's so early.
I know, but I wanted to
hear your voice before school.
[Child] You didn't say goodbye.
I'm sorry, baby. But I
had to clear my head.
[Child] Did you pack my lunch?
Peanut butter, apple slices.
The good yogurt,
the one we buy when
we're rich for five minutes.
[Child] Are we rich today?
Not yet, but someday.
[Child] Did dad send the money?
No, but we'll be okay.
I miss you.
I'll see you after school.
Now you be good for your Nana, okay?
[Child] She's still asleep.
Your Aunt Jess will be
there to pick you up for school.
Now don't keep her waiting.
[Child] Okay, mommy.
Love you.
- Love you.
- Bye, sweetie.

(plastic crackling)
Hi, mom. Are you awake?
[Parent] Riley, baby. Morning.
Did Lily get off school all right?
[Parent] She sure did. Is
the run doing you some good?
Trying to clear my head.
Not sure how we gonna pay rent this month.
[Parent] That dead beat
hasn't paid again, huh?
Of course not.
I never wanted us to move to Africa.
There are plenty of good men in America.
Oh, Mama, please.
I'm trying to make a plan.
I'm trying to get us out of
this hole and back home.
[Parent] Well, you've
been saying that for a while.
I won't hold my breath in.
God knows, mama. God knows.
Let me get back to what I'm doing now.
I need to keep my
momentum going. Talk later.
(birds chirping) (pensive music)
(prisoners chattering) (feet clacking)
(suspenseful music) (feet clacking)
I said come on, move!
- Come on!
- Stop fighting, man!
(Charlotte whines and thuds)
Sit down. (Indistinct)
- Come on!
- Come on!
Come on.
(Charlotte whining and scratching)
Now stay there!
You better thank Freddy
for this, Charlotte, hm?
What was your husband thinking stealing
from Marcus, man? (Snickering)
Now stay there.
(door clattering)
You hear anything? He out yet?
Yeah. They're busy processing him.
What?
Yeah, mm-hmm. I left his truck ready.
He should be here in a few hours.
How he got out so quickly anyway, bro?
I thought he stayed a-he
had a year or maybe two.
Hey, man, money talks, man.
That's it?
That's it, if it's with the
right people, right hands,
anything is possible, man.
Man's got locked up one minute,
and next is running shit again?
Man is connected,
man. He's got connections.
That's Marcus for you, man.
You can be inside, but
outside at the same time.
So what? Now he owns cops too?
(scoffs) That's what he takes, man.
I feel likes we're stuck
in his pocket forever.
Yeah, as long as he's still alive,
I'm afraid so, my nigga.
Bro, Ace, I thought
last time that was it, bro.
I cannot keep on doing this, my nigga.
I gotta quit, nigga. I gotta quit, Ace.
Man. I also wanna quit, man.
But the nigga's got shit on us, man.
I know. I know, I know, Ace.
I can't-I cannot keep
on doing this, my nigga.
No, bro, I know that he got shit on us,
but I cannot keep on doing this, Ace.
So you wanna be free?
- Yes, bro.
- You wanna be free?
Now that's a luxury niggas
like us can't afford, man.
Ever since Marcus came from USA,
he thinks he's a-he's
a-he's a movie crime lord.
Who the hell he think he is, nigga?
I mean, niggas knows
people, man. He's connected.
Yeah, for now.
But his time is coming.
Word?
(mumbles) Ah shit.
Is that him?
Babe, I know. Babe, babe, babe, I know.
I know, babe. I know.
I swear this is the last time.
I'm coming home tomorrow.
Yeah, babe. Please.
Just tell her daddy loves her so much, hey?
I gotta go now.
(Ace chuckles)
Some girl problems. Mm.
She doesn't get it.
She said that Marcus ain't right.
There's something off about that nigga.
She don't want me near him, nigga.
That's a smart woman.
But I mean it this
time, Ace. I'm done, Ace.
Hey, man, we're only done
when Marcus says we done, all right?
So you better get used to the new norm.
(phone ringing)
Your phone keeps ringing.
- It's Marcus.
- Shit.
Hey, yo, boss? (Clears throat)
[Marcus] Ace?
Hey, you out?
Hey, congrats, man.
Well, I hope the car and
the phone that I left you
are still in older, hey?
[Marcus] Stop trying
to suck up to me, Ace.
You messed up royally with Freddy.
Yeah, no, we-we're
busy fixing that, boss.
[Marcus] You better be. You got his wife?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got her.
[Marcus] Call that little weasel
and tell him to come to
the HQ with the money.
Yeah, copy boss.
[Marcus] Pete there?
Yeah, he's here.
[Marcus] I want you to call me back
and confirm you got him,
and that he's coming with my money.
All right. Copy, boss.
What did he say, nigga?
We're back on business, man.
- Better get rolling.
- Let's roll.
(birds chirping)
(phone ringing)
Hello?
[Ace] Hey, Freddy?
Ace, hey. Where was she?
Is my wife okay?
[Ace] Thought I should
let you know that Marcus
is out, man.
But that-that's-that's not possible, man.
He still had time, right?
- That's what I thought too.
He got an early release. Good behavior.
And he's been asking about you, man.
I swear to God, I ain't mean for none
of this to happen, aight?
I just-I just needed time.
- Well, you stole from him.
I borrowed it, all right?
I was gonna give it back.
[Ace] Yeah, Freddy. You
skimmed his drug money.
Almost a million dollars, Freddy.
Listen, man, I-I-I'll pay it back, aight?
I got-I still got all the cash.
[Ace] Well, Marcus
doesn't care why, Freddy.
He just wants what's his.
Just I'll give it back, all right?
Just-just don't hurt her.
[Ace] Well, I think it
would be best if you come
to the hideout in the forest,
Freddy, and bring the cash.
When?
[Ace] This morning would be nice, Freddy.
All right, all right. I'll do that.
I'll bring the cash. All of it.
Just don't hurt her.
[Ace] Hey, man. That's
between you and Marcus.
Ace just please tell
me she's still alive.
[Ace] Your pretty the
old wife is still alive for now.
See you soon, Freddy.
(brooding music)
[Pete] Hello, boss. It's Pete.
Yeah, Ace-Ace called Freddy.
He's on his way with the cash.
[Marcus] I hope for
your sake, he's for real.
I'll be there in an hour.
[Pete] All right, boss. Cool.
(door clatters)
(pensive music)
Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo
(engine whines and roars)
I wake before the morning light
Tie my laces in the quiet
Another day I don't feel ready for
But I walk out that door
You see the smile, the steady hands
You don't see the breaking plans
The weight I carry through the day
So yours can drift away
There are storms I stand inside
That I'll never let you find
'Cause I'm trying
to stay strong for you
Even when I'm barely home and through
There are battles that you'll never see
Fighting shadows just to keep you free
If my heart has to bruise in two
I would take the hurt, it's true
Every breath, every move I do
I'm just trying to stay strong for you
(phone ringing)
[Admin] Hello, Ms. Misena?
Ms. Misena?
It's Anderson, I'm changing my last name
to my maiden name.
[Admin] Noted, Ms. Anderson.
I'm sure you know why I'm calling.
(sighs) Uh, I-I know
I'm three months behind
with Lily's fees.
I'm trying to work on it.
My ex who was supposed
to give me child support
[Admin] As much as I
sympathize with your situation,
Ms. Anderson, I have to
remind you that schools
don't run on promises.
They run on money.
And if you don't catch
up on payment by the end
of this month, we are going to have
to remove Lily from class
until such a time as
your account is up to date.
Hello, Ms. Anderson?
Yes, yes, of course. I-I understand.
Um, I'm gonna try and pay all the fees.
[Admin] I hope so. This is
your last chance, goodbye.
(phone clatters) (suspenseful music)
(feet clacking)
(vehicle whirring)
(birds chirping)
(ground crackling)
(phone ringing)
[Kula] Hello.
It's me.
[Kula] I can see. Let me guess.
It's money again?
All I ask is that you
pay the bare minimum
for your daughter's needs.
We don't even know how
we're gonna make rent this month
- or pay fees.
- Listen,
I give what I can when I can.
I'm not answering your calls again.
This is not acceptable,
Kula. You can't just
[Kula] Look, sue me, okay?
- Sue me.
- Is it her again?
[Kula] J-j-just give me a moment.
Look, I have to go.
Hopefully I'll have better luck next month.
Now leave me alone.

(Charlotte whining)
(door clatters)
(door thuds) (Charlotte whimpering)
(bag thuds)
I'm disappointed in you, Freddy.
I got the money right
there. It's all right there, man.
Nothing's missing, aight?
Just don't do nothing to her.
(Charlotte whimpering)
I'm impressed, Freddie.
Truly, I already made peace
that I'm never seeing your ass again.
Thought maybe you grew
some wings and flew right away.
Far away, but you're here.
That should count for something, right?
You know what? You're responsible
guy, aren't you, right?
Marcus, just listen to me, aight?
I ain't run, aight? I ain't
fighting nothing, aight?
I got the money right there.
I brought it back, man.
I'm trying to make this right.
I made it right, aight?
You keep saying that, right.
But your version of right
seems to be different to mine.
Just-just hear me out, all right, man?
I wasn't trying to piss
you off or nothing, aight?
I swear to God, man, I fucked up.
I get that, but I got the money. All right?
My sister, she... Listen,
I'm here now, all right?
And I got the cash and all I'm saying is,
all I'm asking is please just,
don't make this worse, aight?
Please, man. Come on.
- Worse, Freddy?
- Yeah.
(Marcus chuckles)
Freddy, this ain't about
the money no more, man.
Fuck you mean?
What-what dat that mean,
man? I-I been loyal, bro.
Come on, listen to me.
Listen to me, Marcus.
Marcus, I've been real with
you from the jump, aight?
Swear to God, man.
It's about honor, Freddy.
It's about my reputation, Freddy.
[Freddy] Oh, fuck no.
And your story
is gonna be heard all over the community.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
- Yeah, Freddy.
Marcus, Marcus, just hear me out, right?
- Yeah.
- Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, it ain't gonna like that.
It ain't gotta be like that, man.
Come on.
Just here me out.
Here me out. I got the cash.
I ain't run and I ain't
fighting, right? I'm right here.
Let's-let's just talk through it, aight?
- Okay.
- Bro, bro, bro.
- Take it easy, man.
- Aight.
(Charlotte whimpering) (thrilling music)
It's a hot day. I wanna go home.
(gun fires)
- Fuck! Fuck!
- Bro. Come on, man.
- Come on!
- No!
- Marcus.
- Come on.
- Why?
Why?
See, when people hear about you
and her making that decision,
my reputation, (chuckles)
I need to protect it.
See what happened here
is gonna be heard all over town,
and then my reputation stays intact.
Perception, reputation, respect.
Marcus, I get that. I get that.
It's how the world of works, Freddy.
I get that, man.
I- I-I fucked up. I fucked up.
I accept this whole situation, aight?
But it ain't gotta be like this, man.
Come on, come on, come on, Marcus.
Please, say whatever.
Call the shot. I'll do it.
I'll do whatever you need me to do, man.
I got you.
(dramatic music)
Loyalty ain't proven
when things are all good, right?
It's proven before the mess, not after it.
No, no, no, no, no. But
I've been real with you, man.
You know me, nigga!
I'm from the jump, Marcus.
I done known you
before you knew all
these niggas here, right?
I can fix this, aight?
It ain't gotta be like this.
Maybe you could, but you're not.
(Freddy sobbing) (suspenseful music)
- Come on.
- Don't do this, man.
Take it easy, bro. Take it easy.
Marcus, come on.
Don't have to do this, bro.
- Come on.
- God damn.
Hold up, I think that some apologies
in order here, right?
Apologize.
What?
Come on.
Apologize to your wife
for getting her killed.
Oh, you gotta be sick motherfucker.
Apologize now!
Baby, baby, baby, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, baby. Okay, okay?
I'm so sorry.
How sweet, I felt that.
Got it off your chest, right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Feel good?
Yeah, well, you just said
your last words on earth?
Marcus, come on, come on, man, just...
- Freddy.
- Come on, Marcus.
- Pathetic.
- Marcus? Marcus?
Listen to me.
Listen, I-I can make this right, aight?
Uh-uh, I'm making it right.
(gun firing)
- Marcus!
- Marcus?
Yo, man. Come on, man!
What the hell, man?
What's wrong with you?
Take the two bodies,
hide 'em under the tarp and
hide the cash there with them
Nah, Marcus, man.
This is-this is murder, man. Murder, man!
Straight up murder. Heavy charge.
If we get caught up with this.
We're finished. Game over.
Do you understand, Marcus?
Come on, we didn't sign up for this, man.
What you sign up for?
Debt collection. Scaring people.
Roughing them up if it comes to that,
but not execution, man.
- Yeah, that's right, bro.
You pulled the trigger.
That's on you, bro.
But we are standing right here,
if this comes back on us.
Oh, (laughs) Y'all
covering your skis, right?
Damn right we are.
I mean, I got enough problems, man.
I'm not going down for your own shit.
Not going down, my own shit.
(plastic crackling)
I'm kinda hungry.
(thrilling music)
Eat.
Marcus, what are you doing?
I wanna teach y'all how
quickly you can lose everything.
I'm gonna start with you, Ace.
Remember that case with stolen goods, huh?
Your fingerprints are still on the record.
If I make one phone call,
you'll never see the daylight again.
And you, Pete.
Pete, that case.
Huh, your cousin's house in Joburg, right?
Stash in the ceiling.
Yeah, I know all the details.
You know why I know all the details, Pete?
How do I know?
You know who put it there? Me.
Yeah, now fucking eat, eat!
Eat!
Fucking, (indistinct) eat!
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Now come on, eat!
(Pete spits)
You love them snacks, don't you, huh?
Now that we got our
priorities straight, right?
Take the two bodies
to the outbuilding, now!
(brooding music)
Hurry up!
(plastic crackling)
Ace, this is insane, bro.
We dragging bodies into
the bush like animals, bro.
- Keep your voice down, man.
- Come on, bro. I'm done.
I swear, I'm done.
We keep following Marcus,
we're gonna end up in a
ditch same as them, nigga.
And you think running's
gonna save your ass?
I'll disappear. I'll go to
my cousin in Johannesburg.
As long as I get away from Marcus,
I got a chance, nigga.
- I got a chance.
- Nah, nah, nigga.
- I got a chance.
- You'd be dead
before the sun rise, nigga.
How? How would he even find me?
He's keeping tabs on us.
What do you mean?
I mean, that nigga's
keeping tabs on us, man.
On everyone, our families, our people.
Just because he lived in America,
he thinks he's better than us.
- That nigga is crazy, man.
- So we keep
on doing this, huh?
Dragging bodies, smoking
whoever he points at?
Ah, come on, bro.
- Not forever.
- What do you mean?
I mean, when the time is
right, we gonna smoke him.
- Smoke Marcus?
- Yeah.
That's the only way out, man.
As long as he's still
alive, he owns us, man.
I mean, the nigga bleeds
just like any other. Huh?
So if we do this,
if we kill him, what then?
Then we're free.
We're free, man.
Are we good?
Yes, sir.
- We good?
- I'm with you, brother.
- That's what's up, man.
- I want him dead.
Let's waste some blood, man.
Now let's get these bodies in the cabin.
(brooding music)
Hey, Pete. Come on, man.
(tense music)
(stick cracks)
- What?
- Hey?
She's filming us, man.
(brooding music)
She's running. Go, go, go!

(leaves crunching)
Oh, fuck, man.
Come on. Find her!
You find her (indistinct)!
Hey, go that way. Hey, go, find her!
There's no network out here, man.
So we got a chance?
Keep looking, boys. She's somewhere here.
She's not far.
(brooding music)
Hey, she got everything.
Pete, Pete, Pete, she got everything!
She's got that footage, man.
Nobody can get that footage!
(thrilling music)
Go, go, go!
Go, go, go, go, go!
(leaves rustling and crunching)
Go, go, go!
Go! Come on, Ace!
(thrilling music)
Come on. (Shouting indistinctly)

Go, go, go, go, keep running!
Where did she go, man?
(weapon thuds) (Ace grunting)
Pete, fuck, ah, the bitch
hit me with a branch!
How can you let a girl beat you, bro?
Ah, fuck, kill you bitch, damn.
(Riley panting) (thrilling music)
(leaves crunching) (ominous music)
(thrilling music)
She wouldn't have got that far away man.
(speakers drowning out one another)
- Where is she? Come on!
- Get her ass, man!
[Ace] Show yourself,

[Pete] Girl can run, hey?

(thrilling music continues)
[Pete] Where did she go?

Come here.
Let's go. Let's go, let's go, Ace.
(Riley screams)
Come on!
(vehicle whirring)
You made this a lot
harder than it had to be.
Gimme your phone now.
Please, please, lemme go.
I swear I won't say a word.
And why did you stop running, huh?
I could not ignore what I was seeing.
Relax. Know when to quit.
Come on, you gonna pay.
I'm not giving you my phone.
The more you fight,
the worst it gets, come on!
Gimme the phone.
When we get where we're going,
you'll listen to me.
It's not gonna hurt. I got you.
(thrilling music)
(handle clatters) (group clamoring)
(tires screeching)
Man... Dumb ass, yeah! Come on.
(tense music)
(leaves crunching)
Get her ass!
(thrilling music) (feet clacking)
She wouldn't have
gone that far away, man.
(music drowns out speakers)
[Marcus] Where is she? Come on!
(thrilling music)
(suspenseful music)
(leaves crunching)
(ground crackling)
(suspenseful music continues)

Whoa, whoa. Are you okay, what happened?
Please, can you help me?
Calm down. What's happened?
These men are after
me. They're trying to kill me.
Which man?
Drug-(stammers) drug dealers, I think.
I've heard, a lot more criminal activity
around here these days.
Can you please get me out of here?
Yes, yes. Come on, my car is this way.
(tense music)

(engine whines and roars)
Listen, you're gonna be fine.
Just, just breathe. Relax.
Andre.
Riley.
You're not from around here, are you?
I came a few years
ago to marry my first love.
Or so I thought.
Didn't work out, did it?
Yeah, I know.
(vehicle whirring and clattering)
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's them.
We've got to turn (indistinct)
or they'll kill us both.
You (screams indistinctly)
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Stop the car, get out.
(Riley panting)
Get out, now!
Just relax.
Please, he's got nothing to do with this!
He's got everything to do with it!
(ground crackling)
- On the ground, man.
- Fucking ground.
Get out.
Riley, Riley, go. Run!
- Fuck.

Fuck!

Come out.
(thrilling music)
Move, man!
(suspenseful music)
(vehicle whirring and clattering)
Told you I was gonna get you.
I didn't think you'd try
to stand like that, hey?
Hey, I don't know if I'm supposed
to be pissed off or impressed.
Either way, you ain't running no more.
Yo, Marc?
Yeah?
I don't think we
should kill her right away.
She still owes me.
Hey, fair enough.
Just keep something from me for later.
(group laughing)
- I want some of that!
- Yes, sir.
Your been running, right?
- Yes, sir.
- Bitch can run!
[Pete] Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Pay back time.
(Pete laughing) (suspenseful music)
(door clattering)
- Come on.
- Get in!
- Bitch, come on. Come on.
- Come on, man.
Get in here.
Come. Get in here!
- Just stop doing that, man.
- Stop doing that!
- Come on.
- Get her hands off.
Come on, man. Just let this go, come on!
- You know (indistinct) man.
- Come on!
Get in, come.
Sit up. Get in there.
Sit right there. Sit down.
Sit right there!
Yeah, man, you wanna
go switch off the engine?
Yeah. Coming back now.
Ah, look what we have here, huh, hmm?
What are you saying now, huh?
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
Open your god damn mouth, hm?
Open your mouth, open!
- Watch your mouth, hmm.

What the fuck you doing, bro?
Boss said we gotta walk, man.
- Come on, let's go.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- This ain't done.
- Get to work!
Yes, sir.
(thrilling music)
(chair clatters)
Hello.
What do you want?
Nothing, just a conversation.
You know, people behave kinda different
when they know their time is limited.
You don't scare me.
Oh.
You see her?
She was brave, like you.
Now look at her, she's dead!
(Marcus laughing)
Do you think people gonna
come look for you? Huh?
Someone will come looking for me here.
They gonna be looking in the wrong places
while you sit here counting away the hours.
You don't gotta do this.
Oh.
(Marcus snickering)
But I have to actually.
If I don't do it, those chumps out there,
they gonna think they're getting a pass.
Tell me, when you close your eyes
tonight, what you gonna dream about?
You're hoping to break me?
It's not gonna happen.
I already did.
What do you really wanna do with me?
I want you to know that
tomorrow ain't no surprise.
(sighs) You gonna die tomorrow.
I want you to sit here,
think about it from now till then.
Get some rest, Riley.
Tomorrow's gonna be glorious.
(Marcus laughing)
You one hell of a piece?
Ah. (Grunts)
(Riley panting)
(Riley whimpering)
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay. (Whimpering)
(trunk clatters)
(bag thuds) (zipper zipping)
Ooh.
It's good, hey?
Let's check it out.
(birds chirping)
We're done here.
(zipper zipping) (bag crackling)
Not sloppy this time,
boys. Everything neat.
Everything sealed.
- Yes, sir.
- Gotcha, man.
(trunk clattering)
(bags thudding)
(trunk thuds) (latches clattering)
(suspenseful music)
(child laughing)
(suspenseful music continues)
I know, I-I know.
It didn't-it didn't help.
(suspenseful music continues)
(child laughing)
[Riley] Who are you texting, Kula?
This is becoming a bit too much.
- Can I just have my peace?
- What about me?
Well, you do not give a damn about me.
What about our daughter?
What about our daughter?
You busy here texting on your
phone. What about me, Kula?
Tell me, who are you texting?
It's in here.
It's all in your head.
(speaking indistinctly)
[Riley] I'm always
trying to be open to you,
but you don't give me
the same energy, Kula.
Kula, you know how I feel about this.
Why are you disrespecting me?
Kula, please, you know
better (indistinct) this.
Who are you texting, Kula?
This is utter disrespect.
Please, please hear me out.
Hear me out, Kula. Who
you texting in my own house?
Kula, please.
[Child] Mommy, Daddy,
please stop fighting.
Can we just maintain some boundaries?
This-this is-this is becoming too much.
[Riley] I try, I try, and I
try to do everything right
in our marriage, but you
don't seem interested.
What's going on?
Just some respect. I'm coming from work.
I'm not sitting here and-and.
You never really tell me
about what's going on, Kula.
(indistinct) right now.
You're always trying (indistinct).
Mommy, why is daddy leaving?
(artist vocalizing) (suspenseful music)
Are you gonna leave me too?
Mommy, I need you.
(Riley panting)
I need to get to my daughter.
I need to. I need to get to my daughter.
I need to get to my daughter. I need to.
I need to.
(Riley panting)
No, no, no, no, no.
(Riley panting)
I need to get outta here.
I wanna get outta here.
(Riley panting)
Please, (stammers) where am I?
(eerie music)
(Riley sobbing)
(gun firing)
No, no, no, no.
(suspenseful music)
Car keys, car keys.
I need to... (whines)
I need to-I need to
I need to get outta here.
I need to get outta here.
I need to get outta here.
I need to get out of here. (Panting)
Okay, I need to, I need to just get
get outta here, is this it?
Is this it? No, yes, yes.
I need to...
(door clattering) (suspenseful music)
(door crashes)
(door clatters)
(suspenseful music) (door clatters)
Where did you go?
(door thuds)
Hey, hey, yo! Hey, Marcus!
She's out, man. Hey, Marcus!
Hey, Pete! Hey, Pete,
yo, she's out, man, out!
(feet clacking) (Riley panting)
Yo, Marcus, Pete?
Yo, Marcus, listen,
listen, listen, listen, man.
Listen, I can explain, man.
You idiot! How you gonna let...
How you gonna let her dupe you, man?
She's half dead. Low on fumes.
And you let her lock you
in here, man? (Stammers)
It wasn't like that, man.
Just shut up!
(thrilling music) (Marcus panting)
You know what that means, right, huh?
She's runnin'. She's
hiding, she's plotting.
She's out there, huh?
And now we gotta start all over again.
All because you couldn't hold a handle!
Marcus, I can find her, man.
I can find her, man.
I got this, man.
I got this, man.
- Oh, you better. You better!
I'm starting to think and ask myself,
is it necessary to still
have you around me, huh?
Now go find her, now!
(Marcus groans) (thrilling music continues)
Ace, Ace, you see?
This is exactly the reason
why we need to do this, bro?
Smoke that nigga and this.
You saw how we treat
us, bro, like dogs, nigga.
Not now, Pete.
Now, right now!
This is the right time, bro.
You said if the time is
right, we take him out.
That was before this
bitch made us look like fools.
What are you saying, bro?
I'm saying Marcus is right, man.
I messed up. I messed up, man.
I messed up.
He's the only reason why we're still alive.
Come on, come on, bro. Come on.
You can't be serious, man.
I'm serious, man.
And that plan? Fuck that shit, man.
- I was stupid.
- Stupid?
- Yeah.
- Bro, you said
if we killed him, we're free, nigga.
Never gonna happen, man.
From now on, what Marcus says goes.
- That's it.
- That's it?
- Yeah.
- We just gonna let nigga talk
to you like trash?
Treat us like trash.
(dramatic music)
I should have known. You're
fucking scared of that, nigga.
Shut the up, man.
I'm been realistic yeah.
Yeah, you are. And I'm alone.
And just remember, when
that nigga turns on us for good,
and he will do that, you chose him.
(Pete clicks tongue) (thrilling music)
Fuck, shit.
(thrilling music) (crickets chirping)
(feet clacking)
(ground crackling)
All right, no more games.
I'm gonna shoot your ass.
I'll kill you!
[Ace] You don't have anywhere to go!
(suspenseful music) (ground crackling)
Come on. Show yourself, hey!
Come on, now!
We can do this the
hard way or the easy way.
Anything that side?
[Pete] I don't see her, bro!
[Ace] This side is also clear, man.
(stick cracks) (dramatic music)
(bird fluttering) (Riley
screams and scuffles)
(thrilling music) (Riley groaning)
I'm sorry for (indistinct).
(Riley panting)
I just need to be (indistinct).
I didn't mean for it to
end like this. (Panting)
The car. The car, the car, the car.
Okay, I need to get out of here.
I need to find the car keys. I need...
(dramatic music) (Riley mumbling)
(items clattering)
I know the keys are here somewhere.
I know the keys are here somewhere, Andre?
(items clattering)
(dramatic music continues)
The ax, the ax, the
ax, the ax. I need to...
(whimpers) I need to get to that ax.
(ax clatters) (dramatic music)
[Pete] Where is she? Where is she, bro?
[Ace] She wouldn't have
got that far away, man.
Hey. Where did you go?
We've got some unfinished business.
Don't run away from your destiny.
(eerie music)
(Riley grunts) (ax thuds)
(Ace grunting) (Riley panting)
(eerie music)
Stop! What have you done with Ace?
[Riley] Pete, please.
Shut up and don't say my name.
Pete, I have a daughter.
You saw too much. You know what we did.
And I can't let you walk
away. Do you understand that?
You don't have to tell him that I'm here.
I'm supposed to do it.
Marcus wants me to do it.
If I don't kill you, he will kill me.
You don't have to do
anything he says, Pete.
Yes, I do.
You don't want this, Pete.
I saw you earlier. I saw
what he made you do.
- You're a good man.
- Just-just set up!
You saw too much.
You don't wanna do this.
You know nothing! I
helped kill those people.
I'm already dead. I just
haven't hit the ground yet.
Okay, okay. Okay, now-now let me go.
Lemme go back to my family
so you can go back to yours.
Put the gun down. Turn
around and don't shout.
Don't call him.
Let me walk away and go
back to my daughter, Pete.
You're a father. Please, Pete.
You're a good man.
You're a good man.
Pete, you don't want this.
You don't wanna do this.
If I don't do this,
that nigga will make me suffer
and he would go after my
family, do you understand?
That nigga is a killer, bro.
You're a father, you know how this feels.
I need to go back to my family so
that you can go back to your family, okay?
That's the only way we can protect you.
Just-just-just go, just go!
- Go. Just go!
- Okay.
Wait! Marcus, she's right here!
She's right here!
(Riley screams and
scuffles) (Riley panting)
(eerie music)
(ground crackling)
(door clatters)
[Marcus] Come on.
[Pete] Where are you?
[Marcus] Just come out.
We're not going to hurt you.
(ground crackling) (eerie music continues)
Man, she's hiding, boss.
- Know you're out here.
- She's somewhere here.
[Marcus] Come on,
you cannot get that far.
You know, it's kinda crazy
what you can know about a person
just through their phone.
What we got, man?
[Pete] Look what we got here.
A driver's license for Riley Anderson.
[Marcus] And I heard
you got a beautiful daughter.
What's she 9, 10?
It's not about you.
Now we know where she sleeps.
[Pet] I bet the little kid
screams like, "Mama!"
[Marcus] Come on.
You running out of options.
I'ma count to 10.
Matter of fact, I'ma count
to three to make it faster.
One, two, come on, three.
Well, I guess we're paying a li'I visit.
- Let's do that soon.
- Let's go.
Stop, stop, please, please. I'm here.
There she is. (Marcus laughing)
Please don't hurt her.
I bet she'll let her kid fry.
There she is. Come on down.
It's over. Hurry up.
I ain't counting no more.
You got an option.
Either you come down or I shoot you down.
I'm gonna shoot you
right there. Come down.
- I'ma shoot you.
- Think about it.
There we go.
There we go.
Step by step.
- Hurry up.
- Wasting our time.
- Yeah, you got this.
- Pull you down.
Pull her down!
- Just get up. Get up!
- Get up!
Move, move, faster.
Don't make me shoot you.
Wasting goddam time
to searching for your ass.
I told you you should've been running.
You watching football (indistinct).
(indistinct) Finding your ass.
(Marcus speaking indistinctly)
'Cause I know, right?
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
Come on. Move!
Come on. Move.
On your knees. On your fucking knees!
This is for Ace.
(Marcus chuckling)
Please, I swear I won't tell anyone.
I won't tell the cops. I'll-I'll disappear.
You already saw too much.
And, honestly, we're
going to kill the kid anyway.
- Yeah.
- For fun. (Laughs)
Say your last words.
(artist vocalizing) (Riley panting)
God, forgive me.
(horn honking) (dramatic music)
What the fuck?
(sand hisses) (Marcus whines)
(dramatic music continues)
Riley!
(gun clicking)
- Get her!
- Ah!
Get her!
(dramatic music)
Get her!
(gun firing)
(Marcus grunts)
(bushes rustling)
(dramatic music continues)
Ah, ah, shit!
- What the fuck?
- Ah!
- The fuck?
- You shot me, nigga!
I didn't shoot you!
- Ah!
- Nah, man.
- You shot me, nigga! Ah.
- Oh, shit, oh, damn!
She's getting away. She's getting away!
Ah, ah, shit!
(engine whines and roars)
(dramatic music)
Okay, it's time.
(dramatic music) (ground crackling)
(vehicle whirring)
What's that?
(Riley whimpers) (dramatic music continues)
(gun clicking)
Fuck, shit!
Oh, lemme go! Lemme go!
Lemme fucking. (Marcus and Pete scuffling)
(speaking indistinctly) Look out!
(vehicle whirring) (dramatic music)
(vehicle crashes) (Riley sobbing)
(eerie music)
(door clatters) (eerie music continues)
(Pete gasps) (suspenseful music)
(grass rustling)
(pensive music)
Ah ha
Ah ha
Yeah, we've been loyal, the bills
Dreams in our pockets, hope run out
Same old street, same old doubt
But I still see gold
when the lights go out
Pressure on my back,
yeah, life don't pause
Every wind cost, every lost talk
We argue then we make it right
Still 10 toes down every single night
If the road gets dark,
if your faith feel weak
Just know I'm here, I ain't gotta speak
I'll be here when it's hard to breathe
When the whole
world act like it don't see
If the morning low
and the nights feel long
I'll be there, yeah, I'll stay strong
When you break down,
when you feel alone
When you feel like you've
been doing this on your own
No matter how rough the weather go
I'll be there.
You already know
[Child] Mommy, is that you?
(Riley inhales and exhales)
We done cried in silence
Smiled and prayed, same mistake
Still fighting rain
Life is hard, but it didn't win
We still standing where we've been
I don't promise perfect, promise real
Promise I'm wrong
and it don't feel ideal
When your heart heavy,
when your mind off track
I'm right here, never stepping back
When the doubt talk
louder than your dreams
I remind you who you really be
I'll be there when it's hard to breathe
When the whole world
act like you don't see
If the money low
and the night feel long
I'll be there, yeah, I'll stay strong
When you break down,
when you feel alone
When you feel like you've
been doing this on your own
No matter how rough the weather go
I'll be there, yeah, you already know
Ah ha
Ah ha
Ah ha
I'll be there, you already know
We ain't rich yet
But we rich in trust,
when it all fall down
It's still us
They don't know the
miles we been through
I ain't leaving, I'm 10 toes with you
If tomorrow's shaky, I won't fall
Still here even when the story cold
From the basement
talks to the bigger plans
Same loyalty, same helping hand
If the crown heavy, let me hold it too
If the sky fall down, I'm under you
This ain't life, this a lifetime vow
I'm here, then I'm here now
I'll be there when it's hard to breathe
When belief gonna listen
If the world turned cold, lights go low
I'll be there, I won't let go
When the tears fall deep,
when the hurt too real
When you don't know
what you're supposed to feel
Through the highs and the lows we go
I'll be there, yeah, you already know
I'll be there when it's hard to breathe
And believe gonna listen up
If the world turned cold, lights go low
I'll be there, I won't let go
When the tears fall deep,
when the hurt too real
When you don't know
what you're supposed to feel
Through the highs and the lows we go
I'll be there, yeah, you already know
Ah ha ha Times tough
Ah ha ha But we tougher
Ah ha ha
Still standing with each other now
Ah ha ha
Ah ha ha
Ah ha ha
(thrilling music) (logo rattles)
(tense music) (thunder roaring)
