So, there's this story.
It's-it's probably not true, but, um, I feel like it
sort of applies to our situation.
And what situation is that?
You know, uh, you and me, and, I don't know.
I haven't done this before.
You haven't met girls on the Internet?
What about you?
Do you... do you do this often, or...?
Do I fuck guys on my phone?
No. I mean, there was this one guy that I met online, but...
it was a long time ago.
Sorry, what was your name again?
It's, uh, Gary.
Gary with a G.
As opposed to, uh...
And, uh, you are?
I'm Ell.
Like the letter.
Ell with an L.
Give me your hand.
Like that.
Wow. Yeah. There it is.
So you were going to tell me a story?
Yeah. Uh, so...
Okay, so there's this card player in the 1800's
named Canada Bill Jones.
And him and his brother find a game in the back of this
barber shop in the... in the French Quarter.
Canada Bill, he's been playing for... for hours,
and he just, like, keeps losing.
He's losing and losing and losing.
Hand after hand, he just like...
nothing he does is working.
And his brother pulls him aside and he's like...
Hey, uh, Bill.
You're almost broke, you need to stop playing.
And Bill was like, no, no, no, come on.
One more hand, one more hand.
He doesn't quit, he keeps playing until finally
George grabs him and he's like,
Bill! Can't you see they're cheatin'?
And Canada Bill says...
I knew they were cheating the second I sat down.
And George asks him, well, if you knew
the game is rigged,
why the hell did you play?
And Canada Bill says...
What choice did I have?
It was the only game in town.
Is this about you and me?
Well, I mean, no, it's about...
- Love or sex or... - I'm sorry.
The odds are stacked against us but we keep trying.
Oh, just my friend. I-I told her to call me
just in case you're, like, a killer.
I get it.
- Hi. - I'm not, by the way.
Hi.
No, it's all good.
Mm-hmm.
See you later.
So... do you wanna get outta here?
Uh...
Yeah. I mean, are you sure? It's-it's... it's early.
We could, you know, we could see a movie.
Or they have really good, um, jalapeño...
God. Relax.
It's not that scary.
Right? It's just sex.
Let's go and do it.
Uh...
*
It looked nicer on the website.
I mean, it couldn't have looked worse.
Yeah. Uh...
This is perfect, it's like a metaphor.
What does that mean?
Hello?
Uh...
What do you want?
I have a... I have a reservation.
We're closed.
For cleaning.
Oh, looks like you need it.
Sorry, no one said anything about being closed
when I made the reservation, so...
Okay. Name?
It's under, uh, Harry Houdini.
Not my real name.
No shit.
Well, uh, Toby...
can we have a room, please?
This is a scam, right?
Wow.
I've seen this.
They do it all the time.
Lure sad old guys off the Internet,
make 'em fall in love.
Next thing you know, your money's gone.
So is she.
Maybe a couple kidneys too.
Happens every day, doesn't it, sweetheart?
Well, I'm not as old as I look.
Too old for her.
No, she's 32.
30?
27?
25? You're 25?
Yeah. And?
No. It's good. You're-you're...
she's a very mature 25.
Well, I'm glad you guys sorted that out.
Listen.
Girl talk.
What's your deal?
You trying to piss off Daddy?
Is that it?
You're such a fucking racist. That's my deal.
Hell.
Just another white trash redneck asshole.
Okay. All right, let's go. We're leaving.
- Thank you. - We're not leaving.
Thank you, good night.
You're gonna rent us a room, right?
Are you?
Because I'm gonna call the police.
You're gonna call the cops on me?
- Hey. Hey, hey. - Yeah.
No no no no no.
You're gonna call the cops on me?
She's joking.
She's definitely not joking.
Um... no one is gonna call the cops
'cause we've all seen what happens when people try to
weaponize authority. Right?
So, we wouldn't do that.
When they come here, I bet they're gonna find
all sorts of crazy shit.
So, you wanna try me?
Hundred bucks.
- Okay. Amazing. Great. - Good!
Now we're talking.
Thank you Toby.
Uh, diplomacy wins again.
Cash only.
I.
I... I don't have cash.
Nobody has cash.
Oh, well, I'm sorry, man.
Someone cut the, uh, the phone line here,
so you have to find someplace else.
The gas station.
I saw on the way over.
There's an ATM.
We're going there.
That's, like, two miles.
And then we're coming back.
And you're giving us that room.
You feel me?
You guys want turndown?
Yes, we do.
Okay. Great.
Come on, I have the map.
You know, it's been so nice to meet you, but...
I think we should just call it a night.
Absolutely not. You heard what I said.
We're going to the gas station.
We're getting some cash, and then you, my friend,
are going to town on all of this.
Right?
Okay. Look, I...
I know why I want this.
Look at you. But...
What are you doing here? Why me?
Because I wanna have fun.
And you seem nice.
Plus, you're mostly harmless and I don't know.
For better or worse, you're what I wanna do.
So... please, let's go.
Two miles is a long walk.
Well, then it's a good thing that asshole had left
his car keys here.
We are not taking this guy's car.
Oh, yes we are.
He's not even gonna notice.
Plus, that guy was a dick.
So, it's only fair.
Here. You drive.
I am not driving a stolen car.
Um, it's not stealing.
It's borrowing without permission.
Totally different.
I feel like it's not.
Oh, come on, Gary.
You don't wanna walk two miles away, do you?
No, of course not. Look at me.
No one wants that.
Come on then, live a little.
*
For the record.
This is a bad idea.
Okay.
* Share your powers
* You stir my soul and whet my hunger *
* And weave that spell that pulls me under, oh *
* These moonlight desires haunt me *
* They want me, they want me *
* These moonlight desires haunt me *
* You're sending, you're sending *
* Secret fires burning *
Keep the doors locked.
I can take care of myself.
Okay.
Hey. Uh, you... you got a cash machine?
Yeah, just right over there.
What the hell are we doing here?
Hey, my man.
You steal that car?
Um...
Well, 'cause I know that car belongs to Toby at the motel.
And you're not Toby.
So, I'm thinking maybe you stole that car,
and maybe I should call the cops.
No. No no no no.
See, that, uh...
Yeah, no. That car is Toby's car.
Of course. Um...
We, we... I just... Toby, uh...
loaned me his car.
Anyway, um... I just came from the motel,
we're guests, and Toby lent us the car
and just told us to come over here and get some...
get some cash.
Oh.
Yeah. Toby's a heck of a guy, eh?
Yeah, he comes around here pretty much every night.
Well, except for tonight.
It must be busy, I guess.
Everything cool?
Yeah, yeah. Everything's cool.
He, uh... he recognized the car from the motel,
and so I was just telling him how Toby
let us borrow the car to get some cash.
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, he... he did that, all right?
Hell of a guy.
Yeah, he's also a total tech wizard.
He actually helped me set up all these cameras.
Now I catch every face that comes in here.
Plus the pumps. 4K stereo.
Any punks come in here, try to start some shit with me,
I take the video, I send it to the cops,
boom, bust their ass.
All thanks to Toby.
Boom.
Well...
We will have this.
- Sure. Yeah, um... - Right on.
Uh...
Oh, on card. Yeah. For sure.
There we are.
- Sign there. - Of course.
Yeah, maybe, uh, maybe I'll go visit him after...
after my shift here.
Oh, yeah. You should, um...
- You should. - I'll tell him to...
I'll tell him to keep an eye out for you.
Thanks. Oh, thanks a lot. Yeah, yeah.
See you later, guys.
Nice people.
We shouldn't have taken this car.
Relax.
We'll be back in five minutes.
Plus, what's done is done.
Hey.
You know what?
It was kinda sexy how you lied back there.
I didn't know you had it in you.
Yeah, me neither.
Oh...
Maybe he's cleaning the rooms.
Did that guy look like a man who cleans anything?
Should we call the company?
He has to be somewhere.
Okay, let's split up.
You'll go and check the rooms.
I'll check the car.
We'll find something, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Pretty.
Hello?
Uh... is anyone here?
I'm a good person.
I, uh... I collect action figures.
Stupid.
Bingo.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
What is it? Are you hurt?
Inside. There's a room.
But, uh, it's, uh...
I think something bad happened.
Uh... me too.
Is that money?
Where'd you find that?
Oh, fuck! Oh!
I just heard a phone ringing, so I came and I opened
the trunk and... and then he was just there.
Was he there the whole time?
Was I... was I driving around with a dead guy?
You should ask him.
- We should, uh... - Yeah.
We should do something.
Right.
What, what... what are you doing?
What are you doing?
What did you say? We should do something.
Yeah, I meant, like... we say a prayer or something.
Not put your bare hands on a murder weapon.
Fine.
- I'll put it back. - What?
Put it back?
- Stop that! Oh!
Stop it! Just don't put...
- Stop! Stop doing things. - There!
Oh! Oh, this is bad.
Oh, this is really, really, really, really bad.
Wanna see something else?
- Who's this? - Shit.
You see? You see this?
That man.
The clerk, Toby.
I don't think that was Toby.
I think he killed Toby.
That's Toby.
Well, where is... where is that guy now?
Maybe he left, huh?
Yeah.
Gary?
What do we do?
We need to get outta here.
- Come on. Come on! - You're kidding.
- Let's go! - Are you kidding?
We need to get out of here.
What are you doing? You have to stop.
We have to go back.
No! Okay, we can't go back.
We can never, ever, ever go back.
Well, we're victims too.
Just call the cops and tell them what happened.
Call the cops?
Are you paying attention, okay?
Look, we told the guy at the gas station
that Toby let us borrow his car,
and he has us on freaking video
saying that we were speaking to the victim.
So, if we call the cops, guess who their first suspects are?
Us. They're gonna think we killed him.
But we didn't.
Yeah, but I was in the room.
I touched his blood. His blood is on my hand.
And your fingerprints are on the knife.
And we were in the lobby, and we have a bag of cash,
and we took the guy's car.
What about the other guy?
What other guy?
We saw him. Do you know anything about him?
Do you know his name?
We just know his name isn't Toby.
Does he even exist? Nobody else saw him.
Where is he?
Well, we can explain everything, and...
eventually they're gonna figure it out.
And while they figure it out, what,
we just wait in jail?
And we wait for this other guy to come and murder us.
Which he definitely will do, because we are the only two
people in the whole world who can pick him out of a lineup.
What are you watching, like, 100 cop shows or something?
Yes. I'm 40 years old. Okay?
- God. - I watch cop shows.
And I listen to podcasts, and I go to Costco.
I have a job and a retirement plan,
and I am gonna lose everything the second that my face
pops up in the newspaper next to a dead body.
Newspaper?
Who's even reading the fucking newspaper anymore?
My wife is.
My wife reads the newspaper.
What? Stop the car!
Stop the fucking car!
Stop the car!
Ell, wait!
Would you slow down?
Go fuck yourself, Gary.
I never said I wasn't married.
Is that supposed to make me feel better?
You... you never said?
Like, what, are you trying to cover your ass
so she doesn't find out?
Hey, can we talk about this later?
Why?
We are in serious trouble right now.
We didn't do anything.
Do you know how many guys like me who never did anything
end up in prison?
Okay, the truth does not matter.
Well, then, let's take him back.
Pretend that it never happened.
- Walk away. - But we were there.
Eventually they're gonna find that gas station.
They're gonna find that video,
and then they're gonna come looking for us.
The way I see it, we have two options.
Option one, we go to the police.
Maybe I get shot and we definitely get arrested.
And we spend weeks in jail trying to prove we're innocent
while the real killer walks around or comes to kill us.
No, no, I'm not going to jail.
I cannot go to jail.
I can't.
Great. Same page.
So, option two.
We get rid of the body.
We get rid of the body and we bury it somewhere
that no one will look, and then we just...
we cross our fingers and we just wait, okay?
No body, no crime.
No crime, no reason to look for us.
And he'll just be some guy who took off and never came back.
Okay. If we, if we, if we do what you say we should do...
then we can just go home?
- Hmm? - I don't know.
I mean, no promises, but I feel like
it's not gonna get worse than this.
And the money, hmm?
It's yours.
Take it, I don't care.
Give it to charity. Do whatever you want with it.
How much...
you think is in... in the bag?
Hmm?
I don't know, probably 40K.
We'll need some tools.
Yes.
Are you texting right now?
No. I'm searching how to get rid of a dead body.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Why not?
Because there's, like, records of that.
So, what's she like?
Who?
Your wife, asshole.
The woman you're trying to cheat on.
Can we focus on staying out of jail?
Come on. What's her name?
What does she look like?
Does she know you're a lying piece of shit?
Her name is Alice. And no, she doesn't know.
See, now we're getting somewhere.
You're probably one of those dicks who start off sweet
and then... bam!
The moment she turns her back,
you're banging her best friend.
Okay, well, it is the first time,
and I don't wanna talk about it.
You don't wanna talk about it?
- No. - No?
Whatever you want, buddy.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe
I didn't want to be the other woman?
Huh? Maybe I don't like the idea of helping someone
cheat on his wife.
Did that occur to you?
What is your problem?
I thought young people don't even believe
in monogamy anymore.
It's all open marriages and poly triads.
Well, at least I'm not a fucking narcissist
who tries to rationalize banging someone else.
Well, you wanna...
you wanna talk about my loving wife?
Fine. Okay.
Well, she's been cheating on me.
She's been cheating on me with some fucking computer hacker
from work for the last six months like clockwork.
And one day, I followed her to his house, and I saw
pictures of my wife with the IT guy's dick like this.
Okay, so... yeah.
I wanted to get even.
I just wanted to feel like I was in control of something.
Okay?
But you don't understand that.
You don't understand that because you don't know
anything about what it's like to love someone
and then lose that love.
You don't know what it's like to be lost
and alone and feel helpless.
And I hate how fucking pathetic I sound
when I say that, but you don't know anything about pain.
You don't know anything because you're just
a fucking baby, and you think you know
everything about everyone and you don't know shit.
I'll wait for you outside.
First date.
Can I get a receipt?
What's your problem?
Oh, I, uh...
I'm really sorry to bother you.
Um, but my, uh...
uh, my car broke down.
I need a ride.
Dude, I can't help you. Get off the road.
I'm asking nicely.
I don't give a shit.
Oh!
I'm telling you for the last time,
get outta my face.
I don't wanna fucking hurt you, man.
Oh, shit.
A big guy.
Do you like the cold?
- The cold? - Yeah.
The fuck you talking about?
This. You like it?
I can't stand it. I can't fucking stand it.
Gets in my bones and just...
You know?
Okay, man. That's it.
Fucking psycho, man.
Come here.
Shit.
*
* Love goes
* Only to those who believe *
* But where did our love go?
* Close as a heartbeat *
* But you'll never know *
* Where did our love go? *
* Holding it closer
* Then letting it go *
Don't mention the dead body in the trunk.
Oh, you think?
Everything okay here?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we're hanging out. It's all good.
All good in the hood.
You've been drinking tonight, sir?
No.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But, um, not for...
not for a few hours, so I'm...
I'm all good.
How, uh... how are you doing?
How are you guys?
Got some ID on you?
Why do you need my ID?
You want us to search the car?
We'll be here all night.
No, no. Um...
No, yeah, I mean...
who cares about due process, right?
Hey.
Get it slowly.
Listen, he hasn't done anything.
It's just...
it's a blind date.
You can't meet any women your own age?
They don't like me.
Quite a mess you got in that car.
Do you have a kid?
No.
Imagine dragging a three year old...
around from, like, daycare to her grandmother,
doing five loads of laundry,
making meals for the week so she has something
decent to eat while you're doing two jobs.
And then having your little girl being bullied
by a little bitch with a cell phone.
How often do you get to clean your car?
Who the hell gives a three year old a cell phone?
That was exactly what I said.
Miss.
I'm gonna ask you a question.
If there's anything wrong here, you can signal.
- We're... we're fine. - Sir... don't.
So, if you blink twice, I'll know what to do.
Just like this.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
All right.
Well, we're gonna go get some de-icer at the hardware.
We're gonna need two units right now.
Over. Copy that.
Do you really have a kid?
Yeah, I do.
I didn't know.
I didn't know your wife cheated on you.
So, I guess we're even.
Okay, let's... let's go.
*
Do you wanna talk about it?
I mean, your wife. Do you--
Not really.
Are you sure?
Because that shit would mess me up.
And here I am, dumping a body in the middle of the woods.
Well...
You know, I was, I was just thinking
that if we're gonna bury a guy...
we should get to know one another.
Fine.
How about this kid that you failed to mention?
Let's talk about that.
What does she have to do with anything?
You're a mom.
You have a three year old daughter,
and you're out meeting some guy for anonymous sex.
That doesn't raise a few flags?
Don't shame me for having a night out.
I was gonna be home by 9:30.
Where's her father?
It doesn't matter.
Why are you even asking me shit?
I just wanted some fun.
And I'm not searching for a new friend, Gary.
I... you know I don't want anything.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You didn't want to know me, and whatever we came here for,
I didn't wanna know you either.
Okay, we are just two people who never
wanna see each other again.
Do you still love your wife?
Yeah.
And that's probably the worst thing about me.
That's deep enough.
He doesn't really look...
Oh my God. Oh shit!
What the fuck, Gary?
- No no no! - No!
No no no!
You said he was dead!
I thought he was.
Okay, why didn't you check his pulse or something?
Because I'm not a fucking doctor!
No. No no no no.
That wasn't me. That was not me.
Me neither.
Ahh... ahh!
Oh shit! We need him back.
Why? What--
Toby!
Slow down!
Toby!
It wasn't us!
Wait wait wait wait.
We just wanna help you.
Wait!
We found you like that.
Toby!
- Ooh!
Oh, no.
Is he dead again?
Hey, buddy.
Uh...
Toby.
It's us again.
Ahh!
Uh, hey.
Hey. Hey.
Hey. Yeah.
Oh... oh no.
No no no no.
Run run run!
*
Ahh!
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Drive!
Get us out of here, please.
*
* So don't play your girlfriend games with me *
I think we lost him.
* Stop phoning my house every evening *
* Ain't gonna be sliced up and served for tea *
* You ain't got me
* Like you want me
* You ain't got me
Stop the car!
* You got ain't me
Did we kill him?
No.
I mean, I mean, probably, but not...
not yet.
I just wanna say we're so sorry.
We are so, so, so, so sorry.
And... and that... that is not an admission of guilt
by the way, you were, like, pretty much dead,
uh... when we found you.
Uh, Ell actually told me you were dead.
And, you know, I know we didn't... we didn't help.
We didn't help things, obviously, with the... and the..
you know... you know how, just, like, when you freak out,
stuff kinda just happens, you know what I mean?
You get it.
And, you know, I guess not a great time,
Your friend from the gas station said, um...
said he might stop by. I don't, um, you know...
What's wrong with you?
You-you have my condolences, but...
I think he's trying to say something.
You have to do something for me.
We promise. Anything you want.
Well, no. Let's... within reason.
Give this to Laura.
Tell Laura...
I still love her.
Hear him?
I think he's really dead this time.
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's definitely dead.
Just, uh...
Yep.
Still dead.
Yeah.
Okay, just...
Would you fucking stop that.
Okay. He has... he has a habit.
Okay. Back to the hole.
Didn't you hear him?
Yeah, I heard him gurgling, and I don't know.
Is that contagious?
I know that's not what he died from, but...
We made a promise.
We have to find Laura and give her this.
Fuck me.
Absolutely not. I can't even believe
we're talking about it.
We have to. We killed him.
Would you stop saying that?
If anything, we almost saved his life,
except for the part where he died.
You ran him over.
Look, someone killed him,
probably that asshole at the motel,
and stuffed him in the trunk.
And he would've died in there
if you hadn't made us take that car.
But he wasn't dead.
But it doesn't matter.
It's like Schrödinger's cat.
He was both alive and dead until we came along
and opened the trunk.
You hit him with a car.
He had a knife!
Of course he had a knife! Somebody stabbed him.
Somebody. That's my point. Not me and not you.
Okay? So... it's not our responsibility.
Why is Toby still out there in the trunk, then?
Because you won't let us bury him.
- Look. - Okay.
I know you wanna do the right thing.
I get it, but this is not our problem, okay?
We're the victims here.
And... and him. He's... he's also a victim here.
But... but we count more 'cause we're alive.
Wow.
Do you think this guy is just gonna forget we exist?
Forget the bag of money that we stole from him?
We borrowed it without permission.
And you said you were Harry Houdini, so...
he will never be able to find us.
What's the big deal, huh?
The big deal is you wanna chauffeur around a corpse
to find some girlfriend.
Tell Laura...
I still love her.
I mean, those were his dying words.
It doesn't matter.
It mattered to me.
It would've mattered to me.
Your... your boyfriend?
My husband.
He was Canadian in Bulgaria, working on pipelines.
We met, we fell in love.
We moved here.
The next thing I know, I'm alone with a child
while he's always traveling for work.
The last time he left, I...
I was angry and I told him I didn't care if he came back.
He told me he didn't care either.
And then he...
he didn't.
Come back.
So, we cannot leave Toby in the fucking woods.
We're gonna find Laura.
We're gonna tell her the truth.
We're gonna tell her...
that he loved her.
And let her decide.
Okay.
How do we find Laura?
I mean, like, where do... where do we even start?
Easy. We take Toby home.
*
This is a terrible idea.
We're breaking the law right now.
We're doing a favor. It's fine.
Just be cool.
Come.
What if Laura isn't even real?
What if she's a cat or a sex doll.
A sex doll?
She's not a sex doll.
She's a person and Toby loved her.
Well, where did love get Toby?
Where does it get any of us?
I mean, you don't have to be so bitter.
Maybe you and your wife can work things out.
Not to be rude, but I don't really want marriage advice
from the girl that I tried to use for sex.
Wow. I mean, first of all, I'm a woman.
And second, I was using you for sex.
What was your plan here?
I don't know.
I mean, the plan was we...
sleep together, and then I...
feel weird, and she finds out, and then she kicks me out,
and then I don't have to confront her.
Sounds really mature.
It's not mature. That's the point.
I'm... I'm done being mature.
If I talk to her and she'll cry and...
we'll... we'll make up and we'l fix things for a little bit,
and then eventually we'll just be right back here.
I'm... too much of a coward to just leave.
So, I want her to push me out.
But on my terms.
Would you at least listen to yourself?
I mean, you just said it.
You met up with a girl for sex.
You stole a car.
You were going to bury a dead body
then now look at us.
We're breaking into someone's house.
Doesn't really sound like a coward to me.
Crime is one thing.
Love is worse.
Okay.
Why don't you go upstairs?
Maybe you're gonna find something about Laura
and I can...
I can still look around here.
Let's do that.
Gary!
I found a letter from Laura.
Dear Toby.
This is goodbye.
Oh, shit.
There is no easy way to say this, so...
I'm just gonna say it.
I did something stupid in the past and now that past has
caught up with me.
Last year, I got into some money trouble.
This friend of my brother's offered to help me out.
Only that friend turned out to be a...
angry, drug dealing asshole.
And when I couldn't pay him back,
he told me I had to work it off.
So I ran, and I moved here,
hoping he'd forget.
And...
and then I met you and it was perfect.
Until he found me.
And now he says I have to pay double or I'm dead.
Well, you don't have $40,000.
So, I have to run again.
Toby, if there was any other way,
if I had the money, if...
if I could stay here with you.
I can't risk my life.
And...
I won't risk yours.
So, this is goodbye.
I can't tell you where I'm going.
But wherever I am, I love you.
Know that I will always love you.
Toby, you son of a bitch.
Oh, no.
Shit shit shit shit shit!
Ell. Quick. Get up here now!
- What happened? - The guy!
Whoa!
What is this place?
Quiet! Shh!
Fuck!
How did he find us?
Maybe we're not who he's looking for.
Fuck this fucking...
What?
Yeah, okay.
I'll head over there now.
Shit, that was close.
Yeah.
Look at this baby owl.
It's so cute, huh?
What the fuck?
- Run. - What?
Run, Ell!
Fuck!
Oh, shit!
Shit!
Stop running, you fuck!
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.
It's a nice trick, Houdini.
Wait. Okay.
Let's just talk about this.
Nobody needs to get hurt.
Except the guy you killed.
Nobody... nobody else needs to get hurt.
Shut the fuck up. I don't wanna talk.
No no no no no.
I know why you killed him.
He... he put in spy cameras and he's blackmailing you.
What? What the fuck?
You put in what?
Uh...
- That's not... okay. - No.
No, that was... that was just an idea.
What fucking spy camera? What the fuck do you know?
Nothing! I don't know anything.
I'm just a guy, okay?
Standing in front of another guy saying...
please.
Please don't kill me.
Those are your last words.
Wait!
Get in. Let's go.
*
Fuck!
* Wild, wild is what I am
* Catch me, catch me
That was insane.
He was gonna, like, smash my brains in
and then all of a sudden, you came up like, ohh...
Oh my God, ooh!
Ahh, my hip.
That was pretty brave back there.
You didn't have to save me.
Yeah. You didn't have to come back.
* Round and round and round we go *
I'm hungry.
Are you hungry?
Starving.
*
Okay.
So, Laura owes all this money to the drug dealer.
Yeah.
And then she has to skip town.
- But, Toby... - Toby loves her.
Toby just doesn't wanna lose her.
He wants to save her.
So, he put spy cameras in the motel
and then starts blackmailing people for weird shit?
Which gives him a lot of money with which he can actually
pay Laura's debt.
He schedules a meeting with the drug dealer.
But obviously his payoff goes wrong.
- Toby ends up dead... - Exactly.
And now this other guy, the drug dealer,
is out there looking for Laura and the money.
And us.
Oh my God.
Okay, so what do we do?
Nothing's changed.
We still have to find Laura.
We have to hand over the disk and...
tell her what Toby said.
Ell, come on, we don't have anything.
You know, we don't have an address.
We don't have an email.
We don't even have a phone number.
I think we can just admit we tried our best,
we looked everywhere we could, and we just can't find Laura.
There is one place we didn't look at,
and that's Toby's phone.
You're a genius.
That was not my idea.
I wanted to go home.
*
Hey, can I help you, man?
Yeah. I'm, uh, looking for a couple people.
Came in probably a few hours back.
Classic car.
Nice one, actually. Beat to shit.
Yeah. Toby's car.
Yeah, they were nice people.
Right. Toby. Yeah.
They use a credit card?
Uh...
This thing.
I think so...
Yeah? Okay, well, then I'm gonna need your receipts.
Okay? Also, I'm gonna need your hard drives.
All of them.
Wait, no, no. I-I can't do that.
Um... who are you?
Who am I?
Do you like the cold?
Do I like the...
The cold. Do you like it?
Yeah, that's one of the things I can't wrap my head around.
You know, everybody in this country
fucking hates the cold.
They hate it.
You know...
I hate it, too. But I'm not...
I'm not from here.
Maybe you could tell.
And I don't want to be here anymore.
So, it's super important that you help me out.
Look, uh... I don't want any trouble, man.
Well, nobody wants trouble, Asam.
Just like nobody wants the cold.
And yet, here we are.
Shivering.
What the fuck, man?!
Ahh!
Gary Clark.
What a neat guy.
Okay, how do we unlock it?
Well, just point it and then swipe.
It's easy.
Okay. It's not doing anything.
I mean, do it the right way.
- Turn it! - Okay. Okay.
How old are you?
I use a passcode.
Look, it's not working.
Unless... does it only work on living people?
Does the phone know he's dead?
Well, then make him look alive.
Make him smile or something, I don't know.
You make him smile.
Fine.
No, that's not a smile.
Okay. This feels disrespectful.
Ugh! Forget it. It's not gonna work.
You know, we have to find a hacker, right?
Okay, we just find a hacker.
We go to a computer technician at midnight.
Or do you know a hacker?
I don't, but your wife does.
- No. - Yes.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely the way. The only way.
No way. I don't wanna do that.
You followed her to his house, so you know where he lives.
No chance. No way. Uh-uh.
Okay, so you maybe have a better idea.
I'm listening.
I need you to let me handle the talking,
because this is kind of a weird situation
and I don't want things to get tense.
I mean, isn't he, like, banging your wife?
Don't you wanna confront him?
Well, do you want him to hack the phone or not?
Of course I do.
Okay, well, then we both need to act like adults,
and I hope you can handle that.
Don't worry about me being an adult.
I'm not the one who looks like a giant baby.
*
* Fly forever
* Last December
* I remember
Hey, how's it going?
Uh, I'm... I'm sorry. I don't think I know you.
I'm-I'm... I'm Chad.
Is he okay?
You okay, bud?
- You son of a bitch! - Whoa whoa whoa!
You home wrecking piece of shit!
Chill, dude!
Who the fuck are you people?
I'm Ell, and this is Gary.
You're plowing his wife.
Okay, uh, we need you to hack this phone.
Wait, wait. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Whose wife?
Oh...
Gary.
Alice said that it was all over between you two.
She said you were basically just roommates.
Yeah, well, I guess she lied to both of us, then.
How'd you find out?
Pictures.
So, yeah, I've seen your dick and it's weird.
My dick's not weird.
I know it's B, B-plus.
Can we please stay focused?
Where do you fit into all this?
We met online for sex.
My husband died.
I was working through shit.
So... long story.
Mm-hmm. That's very interesting, Gary.
You're having an affair too?
Yeah. Except mine is for a good reason.
Revenge.
Okay. We just need you to hack this phone.
Can you do that, please?
Look, I can try. I mean, least I can do
after a home invasion, right?
Um, this could take a minute, so...
go enjoy the party.
Drinks on me.
Come on.
Enjoy the party.
What is this fucking guy talking about?
Here.
Looks like you need one.
Is that her?
I expected her to have a dick in her mouth.
Like, in every photo of her.
Is that wrong?
Yes.
She told him we were roommates.
So?
So, she told me the same thing too,
except I thought it was a good thing.
You know, I thought she meant, like...
we're so good together, we're like roommates.
Stupid.
Come on, this is not your fault.
You can't stop people from doing shitty things.
Yeah, but shouldn't I be enough?
I mean, like...
shouldn't...
Someone should wanna love me, right?
Um... I'm gonna... I'll be right back.
Hey, Gary. Wha--
Thank you.
Hey, um...
have you seen Gary?
Pfft.
I've been seeing Gary's my whole life.
What?
You don't know him.
Yeah. Gary's never felt worthy, you know?
So, there's no end to the amount of shit
that he'll take to convince himself
that he deserves to be with her.
But this, you know, this only brings out the worst in her.
Which in return gives him even more shit to take
until he gets to this place now.
Tonight, right? Where any reasonable man
would walk away.
But he can't.
You know, he can't because he's convinced himself
that if he walks away now,
all that shit that he took...
is for nothing.
He's a good man.
Oh, history's full of good men doing dumb things
for the wrong reason.
Do you want any of these edamames?
- Sure. - Oh...
Whole bowl.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I, um...
I was looking for the bathroom.
Howdy, strangers.
Got your phone working.
Don't have sex in my bed.
Okay, look, you gotta keep it hooked up,
but it should work now.
You're welcome.
Anything?
Look! There's Laura.
Shh.
Hello?
Hi. Hi.
Is this Laura?
Who is this?
How'd you get this phone?
My name's Ell and I'm a friend of Toby's.
Toby never had friends.
We only met tonight, and...
I can tell you about it in person.
Look, I know you're in trouble, and I know
he wanted to help you.
He gave me a message and some money.
So, err... can we... can we meet, Laura?
There's a restaurant off Highway 95.
It's called the Night's End.
It's closed for the season, but go around back.
I'll leave the door open for you.
Thank you.
I'll be right there.
Okay.
She's not a sex doll. I told you.
Let's go.
Ell, you can't go.
What is wrong with you?
I mean, she's literally waiting for us. Okay?
No. This is... this is done.
We need to stop this.
We made a promise.
We told Toby we're gonna find Laura.
We're gonna give her the disk.
We're gonna tell her what happened.
She's in on it.
What?
Laura is in on it.
She's scamming him for the money.
And maybe she helped kill him,
I don't know, but it's a con.
She said on the phone,
Toby never had friends.
Had. Past tense.
Okay. I mean, that doesn't prove anything.
The name of the restaurant she's at, what is it?
The Night's End.
The Knight's End.
Other kind of knight.
Look, this is from the motel.
It belongs to the other Toby.
I mean, we don't know if you're right.
You think the murderer just happens to have a matchbook
from the same restaurant?
God, maybe he ate there.
She said it was closed for the season.
Okay, maybe he followed her.
Or better, maybe Toby left it in the motel.
He told us everything at the motel.
The first thing he said was they find these guys
on the internet, and they make 'em fall in love,
and then the next thing you know, she's gone
and so is the money.
Toby loved her.
Yeah, and he probably did, but she was using him.
$40,000 and she's the reason he got killed.
We made a promise.
To a dead man.
A dead man that you ran over.
He was Schrödinger's cat!
Oh my God, here comes the cat again.
- Just... it doesn't matter. - Okay.
It doesn't matter. This is all a lie.
Everything is a lie.
They were cheating him from the start.
You know what?
You really are a fucking coward.
You are a coward and that's it.
Just go home!
You wanna go home to your wife.
You wanna stay there.
You wanna let her treat you like garbage, right?
Okay. Do it. I'm not like that.
I'm not gonna let you go. It's too dangerous.
Excuse me. You won't let me go?
Who the fuck are you?
Hello?
Take the money.
I don't need her money.
He loved her.
I have to tell her, I...
I have to tell her how he felt.
She needs to know that he...
loved her.
She doesn't care.
Okay.
What do we do about this?
I'll deal with it tomorrow.
I'm too tired now.
Great.
I guess that's it.
You're wrong.
When you said...
that the worst thing about you is loving your wife.
You're wrong.
It's not.
Even if she doesn't feel it,
it's the best part of you, and...
You deserve to be happy.
I mean it.
See you around.
No. You won't.
Hey, buddy?
You wanna come back up to my party?
It's my birthday.
Uh...
I think I'm just gonna go home.
All right, that's cool.
You wanna hang out some time?
No, Chad, I don't think so.
Okay. All right.
Take it easy, Gar.
Gar? Is that you?
I tried calling.
Is everything okay?
Uh...
Did I ever tell you about Canada Bill?
From work? Or...
No. He's, um...
he's a card player from the 1800's.
Is this another one of your history things?
Yeah.
So... Canada Bill, he's... he's in Louisiana,
and he's playing, and...
him and his... him and his partner George
find a card game in the back of a barber shop.
And...
you know, hand after hand,
no matter what,
Bill keeps losing.
And after a while he's almost broke
and George pulls him aside and he's like...
Hey, um...
Don't you know they're cheating?
And Bill says, yeah, I knew they were cheating
the second I sat down.
So, George asks him, well, if you knew
they were cheating, why did you stay?
And what did Bill say?
It's the only game in town.
- I'm having an affair. - You're having an affair.
Jinx! You owe me a Coke.
- Hey. - Hey.
Did you have fun?
Not exactly.
Sounds like somebody got laid.
Okay.
Go back to sleep.
Hey.
Why are you still awake?
It's time to go to sleep now.
Mommy's going to sleep as well.
Hi, Gary.
- Toby? - Yeah.
I brought the money, it's, uh... it's here.
Hope cash is okay.
Hey, you know what? Fuck... fuck you!
Hey! Fucking asshole!
Rise and shine.
Where am I?
Don't worry, Gary, you're safe.
For now.
You just got caught up in somebody else's bad day,
that's all.
Where's the girl?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Why don't you cut the shit, fuckface?
Where's the fucking girl? I'm so fucking tired.
Gary. Be smart.
We just wanna talk to her and make sure everything's cool.
We don't wanna hurt you.
I do.
Listen, you help us now, you and her can go home,
forget tonight ever happened.
But if we have to go look for her...
I can't promise what's gonna happen.
Toby thought you were real.
I know. That was the point.
Oh my God.
These guys are like ghosts.
They float around and nobody notices them except me.
I make them feel like they matter.
I make them have someone to care about.
I give them purpose.
And when it's over, they give me money.
It's a fair trade.
Is that what Toby got, a fair trade?
Toby...
was a mistake.
All right, either you tell me where she is,
or I'm gonna throw you in the trunk,
and I'm gonna go find her with you.
Your choice. What do you wanna do?
No.
No, what?
No, as in
fuck you.
And fuck you.
And... and fuck me, I guess.
Because I'm not telling you shit.
And... and... and frankly, you are both horrible,
horrible people.
So, kill me or bash my head in or whatever you're gonna do
because I am done.
I'm done being afraid!
Shit.
Oh, God.
- Oh... - Shit.
What you doing there, bud?
You trying to break free?
I thought I could just give it a...
And but... these are... these are very, very strong.
Yeah.
- Okay. - Yeah.
Time for the hard way.
Don't make a mess.
Laura.
Hello?
I'm looking for Laura. We talked on the phone.
Ell, get outta here!
Shut the fuck up.
Yeah, come in. We were just talking about you.
I... I-I didn't know you had company.
Oh, no, no. It's okay.
Come here.
I have a message from Toby.
Toby's dead.
I know, and I know how it happened.
I mean, did you ever wonder how a guy like that
got 40 grand?
He put cameras in a motel.
Started recording people and blackmailing them for cash.
Wow.
Couldn't tell my daughter I was a good person
if I didn't come and show you this.
- Here. - Okay.
Hey.
- You Toby? - Yeah.
Um... I brought the money.
It's, uh... it's here.
Hope cash is okay.
So, that's it, right?
Laura's free?
She can stop running and we can stay together.
I gotta ask you something, man.
Why are you doing this?
Because I love her.
You love her?
You don't know shit about her, man.
Well, I know that she loves me.
And if you've ever been in love before,
you know what that means.
Hey, you wanna see what you know?
Here, take a look at this.
Come here, let me show you something interesting.
There's your girl.
That's her.
That's who you love. That's your girl right there.
And you are a fucking mark.
And the sooner you know that, the better off you'll be.
Hey, you know what? Fuck... fuck you!
Hey! Fucking asshole!
Fuck me? Fuck you!
Oh no no. No no no no no.
No no. One more thing. One more thing before you go.
I have enough money to get the fuck outta here.
This frozen fucking tundra.
But before that...
I'm gonna kill her, man.
Fuck.
God damn it.
Guess it's true what they say.
No honor among thieves.
What are you doing here?
I told you to go home.
I did.
Ell.
- Ell! - Hold still.
Shit. Cut faster!
Ell, faster!
I'm trying!
No!
Who else has seen that fucking tape?
Everyone.
I posted it online and I sent it to the police.
You're bluffing.
Okay, just please let us go.
You have the money.
No one needs to get hurt.
No.
You fucking guys.
You could've walked away.
You could've left me alone.
You could've lived happily ever after for all I care.
But, no.
You had to go and steal a fucking dead body!
We didn't steal it, asshole.
We borrowed it without permission.
Gary!
Ell, run!
Gary.
Ell.
Please.
I have a daughter, please.
Stop. Stop.
- I'm sorry. - Stop.
I'm sorry. I'm...
so sorry.
Hey, let me ask you a question.
Do you like the cold?
Hmm?
I'm sorry.
Fuck.
It's mine.
Okay, I think I'm gonna go now.
Okay.
What was that message?
You said Toby had a message for me.
What was the... what was the message?
He said that he loved you.
He knew everything at the end and...
He said that he still loves you.
Mmm. That's nice.
Thanks.
Oh...
Oh.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It doesn't hurt so bad.
No.
Not so bad.

Oh, jeez!

Hands on the wheel where I can see them now.
