Original subtitles

Think he's dying.

-Did you hear me? -I heard you.

I've barely got this bleeding under control.

Alex, he passed out. We need to get him some help.

I am aware of that.

-Get out. -What?

-Get out. Take this. -Where you going?

-Just trust me, go. -Alex, he needs to go...

Get out of the car.

Park your car. Get a room. Pay with cash.

Don't open this box until we get back.

-Get back from where, man? -Your brother's last chance.

So from here it's 320 miles to Appomattox.

Which means, if we keep the needle up around 85,

we should get the finish line in like...

-under four hours. -85 is our top speed, hon.

Our average is more like 74. Which means it'll take us...

four point three two hours to get there. Give or take.

That is amazing, Dad.

I mean, how is it that you're still single?

I have no idea.

What do you think we'll have to do at Appomattox?

I doubt they'll launch another shuttle.

It's where Grant and Lee negotiated

the South's surrender.

Are we going to have to re-enact the Civil War?

-Sound complicated. -I do not care,

I just want to get there.

I mean, come on, dad. Let's... let's win this leg.

You know, get us one of those jump starts. What do you say?

We could use a tactical leg up. Check in my bag for the map.

I think there's a shortcut before this next town.

Now you're talking.

And we may not have the fastest car,

but I think we could actually win this thing.

You know why?

Teamwork. We're in synch.

Dad, what's this?

That's the wrong bag, pumpkin, put it back.

What are you taking medicine for?

Uh, I told you it's the wrong bag.

But dad, there's like ten bottles in here.

Are you okay?

Susan.

Hang on, I'm coming.

Oh, my God, Susan!

You're gonna be okay. Just...

Just hang in there a few more seconds, okay?

Susan, no.

He told me...

You are going to win this race.

You sure you don't want to go to a hospital?

I just need to get to Appomattox.

That cut could use some attention, looks like.

I just need to get to Appomattox.

Came up from behind.

Wanted to take us out.

-Take you out? Take you out of what? -Eliminate the competition.

I don't understand.

Thought it was an accident at first.

You're right, Susan. There are no accidents.

Susan? Is that your name?

Do I sound like I'm talking to myself?

Just gotta get to Appomattox. Keep your eye on the mirror.

It comes up behind you.

Can you go faster?

Faster where?

We don't even know where the next checkpoint is.

It doesn't matter.

Just find one of the other racers, and ride their tail.

The suckers are out there to be used.

You have all the power now. I acknowledge that.

But you don't understand how much...

How much you have to get to Walton, Ohio,

to pull your baby from the safehouse

where you left him before his big bad Daddy grabs him first.

How many ways can I say? I don't care.

Ivy...

I don't care.

-Please... -I don't care.

What if I showed you how to drive?

You... you could take the van and win the race yourself!

- Forget it! -I'll find another way to Sam.

It's real easy.

-Okay? -I said...

-The right pedal is "Go", and the left pedal is... -Stop!

I don't have time to learn how to drive.

All I have time for is to win.

And nothing's gonna stand in my way.

Because there's no way in hell I'm going back to New Orleans,

and breaking into flooded houses and crapped-out stores,

trying to find something worth selling

that haven't been waterlogged.

-You were a looter? -I'm a survivor.

I still am. You know...

when nobody gives you a break, you take one.

And when luck doesn't come your way, you make your own.

That's what a survivor does.

That's also why you're gonna let me go.

-What? -You want to survive.

Oh, my God!

-What are we doing here, man? -We should clean up.

This ain't right.

So it's not the Ramada. We won't be here for long.

The accommodations ain't the problem, mami.

In fact, normally I'd be real happy to be in a place like this with you.

In case you forgot we're still in a race.

In case you forgot your brother's been shot.

Yeah, that's right. He was shot in Georgia.

Rest of the competition is on their way to Virginia.

So, what the hell are we doing in Tennessee?

Your partner didn't drive us into this crack for the sights.

So where'd he take him?

Someplace safe.

-You don't even know, do you? -I know I can trust him.

Yeah, well. Good for you.

I don't trust either one of you.

-What are you doing? -What's it look like?

I'm gonna open up the box, figure out where we're supposed to go.

Nobody opens it until we're all together again.

-How do I even know there's something in there? -What?

You two had it with you in your car.

-You coulda popped it open already. -

Maybe he took the jump start, he's already passing all the others now

-while you keep me here. -He's got your brother.

Yeah. He better.

-Whoa, hey, slow down. We're closed. -I'm looking for Gil.

-He ain't here. We're closed. -He tells you guys to say that. He's in the back?

-No, no. He ain't here. - Hold up.

-Tully. -Haskins.

-You know this guy? -Knew him.

When he was alive.

-Gil. I don't know what... -It's Alex Tully.

Once drove a '72 Challenger

from Knoxville to St. Louis in five hours,

with some... perishable items in the trunk.

Gil. I don't know what they told you,

I'm sure you got a lot of questions.

I can answer most of 'em

but right now I need you to answer me.

Are you still running a practice?

Why?

Need me to take a bullet out of you, Tully?

Not me. Friend is out in the car,

been shot about two hours ago.

Bobby, didn't you tell this guy we were closed?

-I can pay you. -With what?

The money you stole from Terry Moss?

No. With this.

Car made that run in four hours.

Who's Doctor Roth? I don't remember him.

He's a... a specialist.

-He's a specialist in what? -Allergies. I told you.

They're allergy medications. I have bad allergies.

-Since when? -Recently.

You know, I think this shortcut might be a mistake.

-Can you check the map? -Dad, this is Oxycontin.

I mean, this is really hardcore stuff.

What kind of allergy gets you a prescription for this?

It's a complicated medical situation.

I really need you to look at the map.

And I need you to tell me what's going on.

This isn't the place to talk about it.

-Then let's find the place. -We're making good time.

-Let's win us that jump start. -You are going to stop,

and tell me what's going on or I'm gonna wave down

the next state trooper that I see

and tell him all about a secret, illegal road race.

I mean it, Dad. Stop.

Turn around!

-You're gonna get us killed! -Without Sam, I'm already dead.

Stop. What are you doing?

He was my reason to live, after we lost Lilly.

What are you talking about?

She was born about 4 years ago.

9:32 on a Tuesday morning. She died a hour later.

On the right! On the right!

Richard wouldn't let me see her body.

-No! -Oh, yes.

Yeah, he thinks he knows what's best for me

and he gets angry if I disagree.

He's a brilliant man, Richard.

And with brilliance comes demons.

And I'll never let him touch Sam.

Not the way he touched me.

-Oh, my God. -With his fists.

-With his feet. -No, look!

-Look out! On the right! -With a phone, once.

That's why I have to go to Walton, Ohio.

I have to get to Sammy before Richard does.

Look out!

He's not gonna stop me this time.

And neither are you.

You're nuts, you know that?

Like Looney Tunes , you need to get your head examined.

I think your husband knocked something loose inside you.

Crazy bitch!

-He's awake. -That's the morphine talking.

He's under. I just got to get it right.

Otherwise, his heart stops beating.

How long is it gonna take?

What's the hurry You in a rush to walk somewhere?

Just gotta get back on the road. I'll call a ride who can pick us up.

You're not bringing anyone else...

No, I'm not bringing anyone else here.

Have them pick us up down the block.

No, no, it's not...

So, if you didn't die,

-where'd you go? -New York.

You know I could get in a lot of trouble for helping you.

Moss finds out that you're back, and I didn't...

I'm not back.

And I didn't steal any money from Terry Moss.

Well, overhear his guys tell it,

you walked out on a job, left 'em holding the bag.

I walked before the job. There's a difference.

Terry must at least learn to move on, leave the past behind.

That's the thing about the past.

There's a way of catching up with you.

Turn back... turn back, bro.

-What's he saying? -Nothing. He done?

Take it easy, Tully. Still gotta close up your partner here.

He's not my partner. He's just a kid.

Not worth it... not worth.

Just a kid you couldn't take to the hospital. Why is that?

Not worth, 32 million.

32 million.

Most people keep a first aid kit in their trunk.

What do you think that is?

You're trying to get me drunk?

I figure neither one of us is driving, right?

You want to open that box? Go ahead and do it.

Don't have to get me drunk.

And if I wanted to open something,

I don't need to get you drunk to do it.

You said we'd wait, we'll wait.

You're sure we can trust that farm boy, right?

-Yes. I'm sure. -Okay.

Wonder what his wife would say about that.

That's right. I noticed his wedding ring.

I also noticed you ain't got one.

- So, what's the history there? -There is not.

We're just in the race together.

So how much do you really know about him, then?

About as much as you know about your brother.

Not exactly getting the feeling you grew up together.

Didn't need to. Sean's blood.

Actually, that's Sean's blood.

And the fact that you haven't washed it off

tells me I got nothing to worry about.

You won't leave here without him.

You don't know that. And I don't even know him.

We barely just met three days ago.

Really? They put you together?

-Who's "they"? -The Race.

No, man. We just... You know, we just hooked up.

Figured I could use a partner.

That was a mistake, huh?

I mean, he's the reason we're locked up here. Stupid kid.

He's the reason we're alive.

-Is that it? -Almost.

Three more staples close the wound,

then I gotta wrap the bandage.

So, what's the problem?

Well, the problem is, I don't like being lied to.

We were never that tight, Alex, but I know you a little.

There's no way you traded this life for New York.

- Not the big city type. -People change.

Right.

Okay. So, we'll do it like this. You tell me something true,

then I'll put in another staple.

You're not serious?

Serious enough to let this kid die.

Sooner you come clean, sooner you get out of here.

Maybe, you start with the 32 million he was moaning about.

Nebraska.

I moved to Nebraska.

-Why Nebraska? - I met a girl.

Her name's Kathryn,

and she is worth trading this life for.

Two to go!

Truth is I was looking for a way out, and she was there.

After that bank job in Ashland,

after those people got killed, there was no way

I would drive for Terry Moss or anyone like him.

He's not mad I stole his money. He's mad I wouldn't take it.

And that's the truth. Staple him.

-What else do you wanna know? -32 million?

Come on, it's like you said, it's was the morphine talking.

-You're doing it again. -Gil, I already paid you.

-For a patch, not for questions. -Paid me with what?

A hot car you used in some score,

-you'd figure you'd dump it... -There is no score.

Then who is he?

-What are you not telling me? -Nothing you need to know.

-There's a cop here. -A what?

Detective. Black guy. Says he's from Nebraska.

Bobby, check the back. Make sure that guy's here alone.

How long?

-Vi... -I wanna know.

Doctor Roth told me anywhere from six months to a year.

-Oh, my God. -I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

I didn't want you to worry.

Besides,

I was going to pick you up at school when I got the news,

and that's when the race phone started ringing.

So... me coming along wasn't part of the plan.

-Well, no, but... -So you got stuck with me.

Because they just happened to fire this starter pistol

-when I just happened to be around. -Stuck? No.

Violet. You're the whole reason I'm in this race.

I figured, if I could win that money,

you'd be taken care of, after...

You know what I think, Dad?

I think you wanted to run away and I messed it up.

No.

You didn't even tell me about this race until you had to.

And what would you have done,

if I hadn't found those pills? What, you'd have just...

kept pretending everything was fine? You weren't gonna die?

Okay, stop.

Truth.

At first, I did want to run away,

but now that we're here,

we've seen so much and we're doing so well...

I'm glad that you're here.

Don't you see it, Vi?

This race has made us a family again.

And I want to go out there, and win it. Together.

No.

-Why'd you lie to me? -Because I'm a big dummy.

Because I know the mean temperature on

the surface of Saturn but I have no idea

how to communicate with my 17 year-old daughter.

But I do know this.

I can't cross that finish line without you.

Why should I believe that?

Why should I believe anything you say?

Let's just... keep our voices down.

Yeah, that's right.

You wouldn't want to get upset about this, right?

Wouldn't want to make a mess.

You want to do this by yourself? Go ahead. I'll be fine.

You need... some...

I don't know the guy. Detective...

Ehrle. His car's parked outside.

There's a lot of businesses on this street.

Not many are open.

Talk to the ones that are. I don't know the guy.

-Mind if I have a look around? -I do.

But you're welcome to come back with a warrant.

Fair enough.

Now, put your hands up where I can see 'em.

Think I will have that look around.

It's just blood from a fight.

Kid's mouthpiece came out today. He went home fine.

Then this'll be a short visit.

Well...

...might as well stay now.

You brought a cop here, Tully. Price just went up.

That's crazy.

You said yourself Tully doesn't own that car anymore.

Maybe he got it back.

Got it back? We know he took the truck.

Right here. Gainesville, Florida.

Brown, two-tone pickup. "Tully Landscaping" on the side.

Cuttin' off drivers up and down I-4.

And never heard from again.

But 2 troopers in North Georgia clocked

a Challenger doing a 120 yesterday.

-Straight up the 77. -So Tully kills his wife,

skips town, then proceeds to drive super-fast

across state lines in a rare collector car.

That's some noggin you got there, Ehrle.

Wake up, Detective...

Detective, huh?

-What did he do? - Just answer the questions.

Hell yeah, I seen it.

Screamed on outta here, straight into town.

Any ideas where he might have gone?

-After hours bar maybe? -Got me.

You can spit across Winchester, man. Take a look around.

Maybe I'll do that.

So you're tellin' me

you faxed flyers of this jobber to every motel up and down the 77.

-I did. -That's crazy, man.

Worked, didn't it?

Wake up here, detective. Come on, now.

Hello, Alex Tully.

Hi. Detective...Ehrle, is it?

Now we're ready to answer your questions. And mine.

Sorry, I can't take you any further.

But I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting another ride...

...eventually. Good luck! I'll pray for you.

That's more than double what your car is worth.

There's $11,072 of credit left,

and a 5,000-dollar cash advance

I haven't touched. It's all yours.

If you'll just give me the keys to your car.

Appomattox...

It's pretty far.

How many of the others you figure made it there already?

And we're sitting here in Tennessee.

You still have a chance.

A chance?

You saying I should leave here without my brother?

No, you still have a chance to get out.

Get out?

So far this race has given you one thing, Sean.

That's all it's ever gonna give you, trust me.

-What are you talking about? -Have you even asked yourself

why you're in this?

-Why? -The reason you're in the race.

Yeah, I can think of 32 million reasons.

No, someone put you in this.

Someone got you out of prison to be here.

How do you know that?

You have any idea who that might be?

Someone who put their money on the right horse, that's all.

Maybe.

But if you're smart, if Sean survives tonight,

when he walks in that door

you should throw away that race phone.

Throw it away, and walk.

Some things are worth more than 32 million dollars.

Yes.

You're good.

I mean, that's one way to run somebody outta this thing.

I'll tell you what, if Sean does survive,

I'd be willing to switch up.

'Cause you're exactly the kind of partner I could use.

Oh, man.

Go, for Pete's sake, hit it!

Okay, so, you're not wearing a wire.

And you're here with no back-up.

So I feel pretty comfortable ruling out a sting, or a set-up, or whatever.

But if this is about Alex Tully circling 32 million dollars,

my guess is they'd send more than one man.

Even if it is a man who can tail you across state lines.

-I don't know anything about... -Hold on.

One at a time. You.

Like I told you,

I'm a Nebraska cop, working a Nebraska crime.

-What crime? -He didn't tell you?

His wife disappeared a week and a half ago.

We were chatting about Kathryn,

but I think he left that part out.

He kill her?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

There was evidence of an abduction, but we can't be sure.

Abduction.

Somebody took your wife, Tully?

-No. He's lying. -What?

We can't fake our way out of this, man. Least not together.

-What are you talking about? -Gil. This is my partner.

You wanna know why he doesn't have back-up?

It's because he's not supposed to be here.

Did a bank in Sweetwater.

Right? Don't believe me, check with your people.

Better yet, check your police scanner.

Might mention someone getting shot.

-Who, the kid in the back? -Shut up, Bobby.

-What kid? -The kid you put a bullet in.

Guy was just walking by when the job went down.

It was Ehrle's mistake, he said we need to finish him,

bury him. We disagreed on that.

He's lying. He knows you have to kill me anyway,

he's hoping you'll buy his story over mine.

-Gil, you know me... -Stop!

Don't need to hear anymore.

If this cop really is your partner, or even if he isn't,

you brought him here.

And like he says, I gotta do what I gotta do.

But I'm not gonna do it alone.

Here. This should settle the rest of your bill.

That was fast thinking back there.

I've never stolen a car before. You?

I'm John. John Trimble.

I remember you. The orientation in Key West.

Boy, doesn't that feel like a million years ago.

Weren't you travelling with two other women?

Only one.

No, I distinctly remember two women...

I had one partner. That's all.

Alright.

So, um...

-So where is she? -Not with me anymore.

Oh, well, sorry.

Seems I've lost my partner, too. My daughter.

We had a fight. She took the car.

She's a very responsible girl.

I know where she is. Where she's going, anyway.

Going to the elephants.

It's a metaphor.

I know there are no actual elephants in central Virginia.

When Violet was little,

whenever we went to the zoo, we'd always say

if we got separated we'd meet at the elephants.

In this instance the elephants would be...

Appomattox.

Yeah.

I know Violet better than she thinks I do.

Upset as she is, I'm sure...

I recognize that car, I'm certain they're in the race.

Not anymore...

- Susan. -

And you want me to end a cop right here?

What kind of sense is that?

Kind of sense that says you're not even here with clean hands.

You wanna walk outta here with that kid? Huh?

You wanna walk outta here at all?

I'm not gonna ask you again.

Take that bag and clean up your mess.

Why don't just give me a gun, it'll be faster?

Oh, right. That's a good idea. Bobby, give him your gun.

Does he want an extra round with that?

What?

You left, you're back.

You're married, she's kidnapped, I'm bored.

Do it.

- Hello? -Get back!

Hey. Drop the gun!

I ain't kiddin' there, man, let him go!

What's your name again. It's Bobby, right?

- -Now you let him go or I'll shoot!

Shoot him!

Let's walk through your choices, Bobby.

You can drop the gun, or you can shoot.

If you shoot, you'll hit Gil first, he dies.

If you don't drop the gun, and you don't shoot,

he dies in this bag.

You'll still have to shoot through his corpse to get to me.

-Shut up! -If you do drop the gun,

and you don't shoot, everyone lives.

Even you.

Put it on the mat.

- You okay, Gil? -I said, shoot him!

Keys please.

What's going on?

Next time I see you, Tully, I swear...

Gotta get this right. Or else your heart stops beating.

-Alex? - Yeah?

-Where are we? -We're leaving.

The car is right outside. Wait for me there.

You should have been looking for Kathryn.

-Why aren't you looking for her? -I'm trying to find the truth.

After Kathryn was kidnapped,

you asked if someone was trying to compromise me. You remember that?

Everything's a little fuzzy right now, but yeah.

Someone's trying to compromise me.

-Him? -No.

I'm not sure who.

It's hard to explain. But I'm being forced to do things

-I don't want to do. -Like rob banks.

You're a smart man, Detective. Figure it out.

Yes, my emergency is down at Haskins gym.

There's an upstanding Detective from Nebraska here.

Two no-good thugs just tried to do him in. Yes.

Make it quick.

She is alive.

Believe it.

Here it is.

Next checkpoint.

Appomattox.

-I don't see her a car. -I don't see many cars.

Wonder if we're first or last.

Violet, where are you?

Then maybe you'll find your partner.

Maybe.

We made it, Susan. We made it.

That's it.

- What are you doing? -Sun's up.

It's a new day. We're done waiting.

-Yeah, they're coming back. -Yeah, maybe. But how's this.

We keep them in the race by us making to the next checkpoint.

While you and I team up. It's all the same to me.

But we open this thing now.

-Any sign? -Not yet. She'll be here.

I got these.

It's the next clue.

-What are they? - Some kind of candy.

Two hot-candies, what does that mean?

- Now I know where we're going. - Where?

-Cleveland, Ohio. -Then we'd better get started.

-You ain't dead. -Hope I still have my kidney.

-Cleveland, huh? -Yeah.

Everyone else is up here in Appomattox.

And we have to get here. So that puts us about...

six, seven hours...behind.

Well, let's not be last.

Thanks.

-Too much for the jump-start. -Uh-huh.

-I'm... I'm gonna keep going. -Where?

Think I got it figured out.

A little known fact.

The Civil War started and ended on the same man's front porch.

And the man's name was...

I'm sorry, John, I really gotta go.

I hope you'll find your daughter.

Hope you'll find your partner.

She died.

I'm sorry.

Leigh...

-Are you... are you all right? -No.

But I will be when I win this for her. For us.

Then you better hurry.

What'd you guys do, changed the ring?

If you want your phone, you can forget it, bitch.

Excuse me? Who's this?

Ivy, who is this?

Give the phone to Wendy, please.

Oh, Wendy is not here right now, she's out to lunch, permanently.

Where did you get this phone?

Well, it was sitting on the seat beside me,

I'll tell you this, I'm about to rack up some serious minutes.

Hey, do you have a car?

Is she all right? Tell me where she is, please.

-Who wants to know? -It's her husband.

Is this Richard?

Richard, I wouldn't tell you the time.

I had one shot and you blew it for me.

Your little Wendy was my ticket to the finish line.

Except for you had to driver her crazier than a football bat.

Brilliant man?

If you are so damn brilliant,

then why did you have to smack your woman around

to get her to talk to you.

Is that because that's the only way that you get to touch her.

You wanna talk to your wifey? You'll get your chance.

She knows you found the safe house.

And she's on her way to Walton. Right now, as we speak.

So be prepared to have your brilliant ass run over.

Walton? As in Walton, Ohio?

Thank you.
