Original subtitles

Once upon a time

there were three little girls who went to the police academy.

One in Los Angeles.

One in San Francisco.

The other in Boston.

And they were each assigned

very hazardous duties.

But I took them away from all that

and now they work for me.

My name is Charlie.

Hi.

Do you work here?

N-no.

Um.

M-my daddy and b-brother are inside.

That's good.

But don't... Don't go in there.

Why not?

Get her in the van. Hold on to her.

Hold on to her. Get her in.

Stupid, Clint, real stupid.

But he wasn't gonna give us the money.

Let's go.

Ow!

Who's she? Never mind. Let's go.

Help!

Not so tight, Harley, we may need her.

Ah. I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to h-hurt her.

You all right?

Yeah.

Keep your eyes on the road.

I'm sorry, you just happened to be

at the wrong place at the wrong time.

We'll turn you loose just soon as we can.

Sure.

We don't mean you no harm.

Trust me.

Jill's car was found just before noon.

The old man was shot and killed inside the store.

Are you sure it was Jill's car, Charlie?

I'm afraid so, Kris.

Well, maybe she ran out of gas.

Maybe she had engine trouble.

I wish that's all it was.

Bosley, you have the file on Sam Mason?

Yeah, right here, Charlie.

Who's Sam Mason?

He's an escaped killer who was convicted of murdering his wife.

And the owner of the store they robbed

identified Mason before he died.

I don't see what that has to do with...

Kris, I'm afraid he's taken Jill as a hostage.

Now, Mason has two sons believed to be with him,

and to have helped him in his escape.

I suppose they have records too?

One boy is retarded, never been in any trouble.

The other one, Clint, had minor brushes with the law

starting at age 12.

Shoplifting, that sort of thing.

And then at 15, he stole a car

to get the retarded boy out of an institution.

At 19, he robbed a liquor store.

And then he was sent to the same prison

where the father was serving time

on an earlier conviction for robbery.

Where his father taught him everything he knew.

We have to do something. We have to find her, Charlie.

We'll all do our best, Kris.

Do you have the map, Bosley?

Yes, Charlie, I've got it right here.

Now, the police have set up roadblocks east and south.

What about this area?

Uh, that's a wilderness area,

there are no roads in there

and the mountains are impassable.

Wouldn't that be the best place for them to go?

It might, if they could get through there with a vehicle,

but they can't. Too treacherous.

Besides, they go south, they'll be only a few hours

to the Mexican border.

Well, maybe when they get to the border,

they'll let Jill go.

We hope so, Kris.

We have to do something. Isn't there something we can do?

We could go up there and see if we could help in the search.

Fine. Now, the highway patrol and sheriff

are working out of a little town called Dry Falls.

The store is just west of there.

What are we waiting for?

Kelly, are you still there?

Yes, Charlie?

Kelly, we know that Sam Mason is a vicious killer.

His sons may be worse.

One man has already died since the escape.

The Masons don't have very much left to lose.

What are you trying to say, Charlie?

I think Charlie's trying to say,

don't let Kris get her hopes up too high.

You don't think she has a chance.

Not without some kind of a miracle.

You sure, boy?

Yes, sir. I'm sure.

You blow a tire before we get to the supplies, we've had it.

I won't. I've been right so far, ain't I?

Are we there yet?

Not yet. Won't be long.

W-w-what's...? What's your name?

Jill.

Jill?

That's a p-pretty name.

My mother's name was Jenny, that's...

That's... Pretty name too, isn't it?

Sure is.

Where's your mother now?

Dead.

Somebody killed her.

Th... They said it was Daddy, but...

But my brother and me don't believe them so...

We went and got him.

Went and got him from where?

J-Jail.

Button your mouth, Harley.

Your own sons broke you out of prison?

Don't you know they can go to prison for that too?

Don't you care about them?

He's about the only one in the world does care about us.

You can't get away.

Oh, yes we can.

My boy Clint. He figured it all out.

Nobody's supposed to be able

to get through the mountains this way,

but I found a way.

Police will be looking for you at the highway.

How about that, Clint?

Why the police are gonna be looking for us on every highway

headed south into Mexico.

And that's why we're going north.

Soon as we get through these mountains

there's nothing between us and Canada.

You're going to Canada?

Y-yeah, Canada.

And... And we get to build a log cabin.

And go fishing.

And go swimming without no clothes on.

Sh... She's little like Mama too, huh?

Yeah.

You can trust her just about as far.

I... I trusted Mama.

And-And I trust Jill.

Units 23, 45 and 48,

set up a roadblock on State 16. Ten-four.

Make matters worse,

there's a storm heading this way.

Reaches this far, it'll put the aircraft out of commission.

Now, Mason's boys are bound to surface

on a highway somewhere between here and Mexico.

Well, shouldn't somebody be searching up there?

They wouldn't go up there.

Road only goes so far.

Those mountains are impassable.

No, Mason and his boys have got to be in this area.

Now, they pulled a robbery.

You don't need any money in this wilderness area.

What did the air surveillance show?

Miss, please.

Sheriff.

Look, they've got her sister.

We've got one plane searching the area,

but there's just no place to go up there.

I'm sorry.

Well, Mason couldn't have just disappeared.

And there must be something special

about that area up north.

There's gotta be a way through those mountains.

That only Sam Mason knows about.

Look, I could take a run up to the state capital.

Maybe there's some old maps of the area in the archives.

Good idea.

Okay. I'll get going.

Aw, hey. Good job.

Looks like your luck just run out.

What's C-Clint gonna do to her, Dad?

Why don't you go watch, Harley?

Hey, stay outta there.

Help me! Hey!

Oh. Don't. Teach you to run away.

Don't.

Pull me up, Harley.

Leave her.

Da-Daddy, there are snakes down there.

Huh.

There sure are.

Why, whole bunches of them.

Help her up, Harley.

It's all right, boys, she's yours. Just not quite yet.

Come on.

Are you all right?

I guess so.

Why, you shouldn't go running off by yourself like that.

You's lucky we was here to help you.

All right.

Nothing?

Well, they're someplace.

Only a matter of time.

Look, we're doing everything we can.

Except searching up north.

Plane's on its way back from there now.

Spotted nothing, as I thought.

Look, I know Sam Mason.

He's not about to go into that area.

He won't cut himself off without a way out.

Harley, hand me a screwdriver.

Harley!

Where is he?

Necking on the girl.

She'll talk him into leaving her loose.

Leave the boy alone.

She's liking him too much.

You wanna hurt him? Keeps her busy.

We ought to just finish with her and leave her.

You just won't think ahead, will you, Clint.

You never have.

Look, if the cops catch on,

they won't blow the van apart if she's in it, will they.

I don't like him being alone with her.

Hm. How about that.

You don't like it.

Finish the tires.

I'll check on her.

And I... I'm gonna go fishing,

I'm gonna catch a fish this... This big.

M... Mom's gonna cook it.

N-no, y-y-you cook it.

No, I won't, not with my hands tied like this.

Untie my hands.

It hurts?

Yes, it hurts.

Yes.

N-no.

Dad said that... That I wasn't supposed to,

and g-good boys always d-do what their dad tells them.

I get to have some d-deers as-as pets.

And every time I go outside they're gonna come up to me.

And... And I'm gonna have a dog and he's gonna have puppies,

and I won't squeeze them very hard till they're big dogs.

Ow!

I... No, but I will, I always do.

No. No, you won't.

I always do!

No.

I'll show you how to...

To love them without hurting them.

How you gonna show me?

Well, I'll show you how to...

To pet their fur and hold them.

And not hurt them.

How?

Well, I can't show you unless you untie my hands.

See... You're trying to trick me.

No, I'm not.

And I could pet them and I won't hurt them?

That's right.

Harley.

I... I... I'm sorry, I...

Don't... I'm sorry, Dad.

Not... Not the belt. Don't...

D... Don't whip me, I... I'm sorry.

Don't beat me!

Damn you, woman.

Why couldn't you leave that boy alone?

Why'd you have to go mess with his head, he was being good!

The ropes are hurting my wrist.

Ain't no place for you to go.

Van's ready.

Still nothing?

Is there anyplace else I can look?

Maybe. If I knew what you were looking for.

I don't know myself.

Just something unusual.

I grew up in this state and I can tell you

that very little is known about that area.

Few people have gone through that we know about

and there are no government records at all.

Well.

Thank you.

I wish I could help, I really do.

Thanks.

I don't know if this is any help, but...

If what's any help?

Well I used to go with this guy who was a grad student

in history at the university.

He did his thesis on the Mormons,

and according to him, they looked that part

of the country over pretty well

before they settled in Utah.

They leave any records?

I remember him saying there were a lot of old maps

and journals on file at the university library.

Thanks, Lee.

Thanks a lot. Good luck.

Anything new on your end, Bos?

No, I'm afraid not, Kelly.

How's Kris holding up?

Well, pretty well so far.

She's trying to convince them

to search north of the main highway.

Uh, good, uh. How's Tiff doing?

Well, she struck out at the state capital,

but she did come up with a lead.

She's on her way to the university now,

and there's a chance they may have something.

Oh, that's good.

Uh, listen, Kelly. Tell Kris to hang on.

Jill's okay, I can feel it.

I know. I can feel it too, Bos.

Bye.

And you know what else?

She used to bake a cake for me

and Daddy and-and my brother.

Chocolate.

Heh. Can you bake a cake?

Mm-hm, but probably not as good as she could.

Well, I-I-I bet you can.

W-Would you bake a cake when we get to Canada?

I sure will.

Harley, I'm tired of hearing about that stupid cake

and that cabin, and that stupid deer,

and the mother that never was.

She wasn't any good, Harley.

She wouldn't stay home with us.

So I don't wanna hear it anymore.

S-She left because I was a bad boy.

No, that's not true.

I'm sure your mother loved you very much.

And your daddy wasn't lying when he said he'd take you to Canada.

Just shut up!

I'm gonna bake you a cake.

I said for you to shut up.

You know, your ride's about over.

You ain't gonna be baking nothing.

Ever.

Hold it, the road's playing out.

In a while.

I said hold it.

There's a rock behind the car, Harley. Move it.

Be careful.

Th... There's not much to hold on to.

It... It looks like a real big rock.

I don't care how big it is, move it.

Can you do it?

You afraid to help him?

The boy can do it. You can afford to lose him.

Keep quiet.

I... I did it!

I did it.

Then get on back in here.

I must have taken the wrong road.

Well, stop, stupid,

and figure out where you went wrong.

You're lost.

There's no way through here.

This road going out here and stopping.

Don't show.

How far off are you?

Couldn't be far.

It's up to you, boy.

Ankle.

A... Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Now what are we gonna do?

Thanks to your great driving, we'll walk.

To to the highway, see if we can get another car. Harley?

Hm. Give me a hand.

Clint, get the stuff out of the van.

Let's go.

Stable 14, this is Dry Falls dispatch

requesting a weather check, come in.

Kris?

Oh, no thanks.

I'm pretty coffee'd out.

Do you think she's alive?

Of course she is.

Don't even think that.

You know why she went out there? No.

There's this little girl in Phoenix.

She's 12.

And she wanted to be a racecar driver.

And then they found out that she had leukemia.

So...

So Jill and some of the other drivers wanted to go see her.

Oh, Kelly.

Don't cry.

Heh. A four-wheel drive.

Talk about your luck.

What if the people are there?

What if they are?

Clint. Harley, keep her quiet.

Kelly?

Tiffany.

What did you find out?

Well there is a way through

the mountains to the north.

It's an old trail that the Mormons made

during the Mormon Wars, an escape route to Mexico.

Comes out now in what's an old ghost town.

Kelly, somebody else got the same

information two months ago.

One of the Mason boys?

Clint.

The lady who's in charge of the stacks

identified his mug shot.

Well, at least we know we're on their trail.

How soon can you get back here?

Two hours from the time I get started.

Okay. Hurry, Tiff. Hurry.

I'm with you.

Tiffany said that the, uh, Mormon trail came out

right here at the old ghost town.

Now are you gonna search that wilderness area?

I mean, if the Mormons can make it,

the Masons can make it.

Well, I better have a look.

I'm going with you.

Now, wait a minute.

Look, I'm a private detective.

I can take care of myself.

Besides, that's my sister out there.

Uh, look, I'll wait here for Tiffany

and we'll catch up with you as soon as we can.

Okay. Okay. Careful.

Are we almost to Canada yet?

Just about.

What...?

Can't trust her for a minute. Watch your arm.

W-women are a-always trying to run away.

Don't you w-wanna go to Canada?

She ain't going to Canada.

I guarantee it.

She ain't going nowhere.

Tire tracks.

Doesn't mean it was them.

Doesn't mean it isn't.

Proof?

I'll get some planes and choppers on up ahead of us.

Dispatch, it's Mobile 3, over.

Go ahead, Mobile 3.

Move all search units north.

Looks like they stopped putting up planes for us.

Maybe we ought to stop and hold up till night.

Eh. We'll keep going. It's not that far to the highway

and nobody will be looking for us in this thing.

Yeah, they're on foot.

We got them now.

Not yet, we don't.

Dispatch, this is Mobile 3, over.

Go ahead, Mobile 3.

We found the van wrecked in a gully.

Up near Long Valley.

They are now on foot.

Unless they found another vehicle.

Look, just in case they get up to that other highway,

set up a roadblock up there.

I want this area closed off completely.

We'll find them.

I-I-It sure is bumpy, huh?

No kidding.

Watch the road, boy. Yes, sir.

I told you to watch out for them rocks.

I'm doing my best.

Yeah, well, always that ain't near good enough.

Now, keep your mind on that...

That's what I'm doing.

Get her.

Let's leave her, we're not far from the highway.

Clint, get her.

Let's just shoot her. No!

Get out of the way, Harley.

No.

Shoot him, Clint.

But he's my brother.

He's also in our way.

Harley.

They're gonna shoot you too.

No. No!

Hold it.

Ain't that sweet?

Get behind the wheel.

Move!

Not you, Harley.

Move it! Move it!

All right. Let's go.

You can't just leave them out here.

Oh, yeah, we can.

Forget about them. Let's go.

No! No! Daddy! Don't leave!

Don't... Don't leave me!

He's gonna kill me.

He killed my mother.

There's part of the highway, Clint was right for a change.

Don't bust nothing.

How can you just leave your sons out here?

Easy.

What happens to make a man like you?

Oh, yeah.

You another one of them

high and mighty ladies like my wife, ain't you?

Ha. "What happens to make a man like you?"

I'll tell you, first you start with a no-account woman

with eyes for anything in pants and then you add a half-wit kid,

you wait a couple of years and you add another kid

and he ain't got no guts.

He killed a man for you.

I didn't tell him to kill nobody.

You work 4 to 12 everyday of your life,

but you never have no money, because she's busy

throwing it away with both hands

on fancy clothes and dumb religion.

Well, that wasn't good enough for that high and mighty lady

and so she was gonna cut out.

She took the kids and she left and I brung her back.

She took the kids, left again, and I brought her back again

and this time I put the kids where she couldn't get at them.

Only this time she run off by herself,

and then I brung her back,

and I put her in a place

where she ain't never gonna be able to run again.

All right. Right up there.

Let's go.

Well, the highway has to be over that next rise.

What if the map's is wrong?

Well, in that case,

I don't have much to lose, do I?

I'll get ya!

By God, I'll get ya!

Look at that.

They find a four-wheel drive someplace.

Yeah.

Well, let's see where they went.

Even if we find something we don't want to.

Wait a minute.

Look over there.

Over there. Hurry.

No...

Stop it. Stop it!

You'll kill him. Your mother would cry

if she knew you were doing this.

He made her cry then he killed her!

You don't wanna be like him.

Then there'll be no place for you to live and go fishing.

You couldn't pet the deer.

There's no place like that anyway.

I know a place like that.

But you can't go there if you kill him.

Wh-why everybody l-lies to me?

I haven't lied to you, have I?

What took you so long?

Oh.

Are you okay? Yeah.

It is nice here. I told you it was.

He saved my life. You know, it's important to me

that he have the best care possible.

Oh, here he comes. Ah.

Oh, Jill!

Oh, oh.

How are you? Th... Jill, they got...

They got a creek and everything.

A-And th-they...

A-A-And they let me go... Go fishing everyday.

I got a... A fishing license with my name on it.

Did you catch anything yet?

Ye... Yeah! And I ha... Had to throw him back,

because i-it's against the law to keep them un...

Unless they're this big.

Oh.

He's doing fine.

Y-You know what else? What?

They got deers here.

They do? NURSE: The deer will come down

and eat out of his hand as soon as they get to know him.

Uh, do you make cakes often here?

Oh, not as often as they'd like.

Um, could I bring him one?

That's against the rules.

But then, rules are made for two reasons.

To be kept and to be broken.

Fine, bring the cake.

Oh, good.

For you. Oh.

Open it. Go ahead. Yeah.

Taste it.

Try it.

I-It's chocolate.

It's like... Like my mom made.

Do y-you want some?

Sure.

Just a sample. Yes.

There. Hey.

Okay.
