I sell air conditioners.

REPORTER (ON TV): Breaking news today, we have new developments...
in this ongoing story.
The ex-minister and convicted felon now known as "The Reaper"...
has been sighted in Kings County...
the same city where he was convicted for murder so many years ago.
The Reaper, after surviving the electric chair and escaping the state penitentiary...
is believed to be hiding in or around Kings County.
The nightmare continues.
Police are investigating a missing persons case in the area.
Tammy Simmons, a known prostitute, has gone missing...
and the police believe the Reaper might be involved.
Again, authorities are urging the people of Kings County to stay indoors...
and be cautious until the police are able to apprehend the suspect. In other news...
I'm all right.
Hi. What'll it be, sweetie?
Um, give me a piece of that chocolate cake.
I'll get that warmed up for you.
Thank you.
There you go.
Thank you, darling.
Can I get you anything else, Rob?
No, darling. Just go and look after the other customers like you're paid to.
Red meat'll kill ya.
Something's got you, my son...
I got Daisy May here to watch my back.
I'm telling you, man, go vegetarian.
Better for the body and the soul.
Yeah. But I ain't got one. Neither have you.
Better for the body, at least.
Now, here's a down payment.
That's for somebody else's soul.
Whoa, hey!
Now I think you owe me.
For all them other jobs you keep screwing up.
Now what do you say?
Hey, hey, hey!
One finger for a down payment?
Hey, man, I'm an earner. I make money for you. Don't you forget that.
Good point. And that's why you're above ground.
Now, show me the stuff.
Blue pill, blue pill.
That don't taste like I'm screwing up now, does it, Rob?
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! That is nuclear.
That's right.

That how you sweet talk ol' Daisy May?
Just remember, Daisy May has got a soft spot for you.
Don't let her down. Fellas.

The address... is, um...
I tried to be righteous, sister.
But no, no, you had to bring out the filth in me.
Now you're like gonna like our sin before you die.
No!
( STRUGGLING )
Should I tell them about your friend in Room 7?
( MUFFLED YELLING )
Or are you ready for your punishment from your brother?
Hail Mary...
Yes! There's a...
Kiss me first, kiss me first, please!
Ow! Ow!
( CHUCKLES )
Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha, yeah! Yeah. Yeah.
You're a harlot, you're not a killer.
Yeah?
( GUN CLICKS, JAMMING )
You're a har...
That's divine intervention. No! No! No!
I never called the taxi.
Forbidden fruit, I am going to make you repent before he comes for you.
( ELECTRICITY BUZZING )
I made a mistake, Reaper!
I was getting her ready for you!
No, Reaper, please!
Mercy! Mercy!
It's here.
Who's here?
Reaper!
Boy, you really have lost it, haven't you?
There are dead bodies everywhere!
( MUFFLED SPEECH )
Get the gag out of his mouth.
Who's dead?
We are.
( BANGING ON DOOR )
Be careful!
What's in the bag? What's in the bag?
That's that religious nut's hat. The desk clerk downstairs.
Natalie, what exactly did you see out there?
I don't know, I mean, first he was there, and then he wasn't.
Get us out of this damn tape! No!
Listen! You're gonna need all the help you can get!
Get that machete, cut me loose.
I'm trying.
( TAPE TEARING )
Think you could just walk away? Huh?
Where is my money? Where is it? Huh?
Let her go.
She left us for dead, man.
Get off her or I'll cut your head off.
( LOUD BANG ) ( COCKS GUN )
Drop your weapon! Drop it!
Ah, stay back! Stay back, pretty boy, stay back!
Blondie, you all right?
Huh, um, yeah.
All right. Now let's figure out what's going on.
( POLICE RADIO CHATTER ) Wake up, boy.
Now how does a sweet, innocent little thing like you...
find yourself in a heap of crap like this?
Don't be fooled, Officer, she's as rotten as they come.
I don't remember asking you a damn thing!
What you staring at?
Officer of the law.
That's right.
Let's see what you got here.
Well, well, well... narcotics.
You boys are screwed!
Let me tell you something, darling.
You are one fine piece of pie.
Officer?
I don't think that you understand that there's a psycho killer on the loose.
( LAUGHS )
Well, then let's get our asses out of here.
All right, let's go, boys.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP )
( POLICE RADIO CHATTER )
Careful, Officer, she bites.
One more word and you'll be spitting out those shiny teeth.
( LOUD BANG )
We need to leave.
Ain't nothing, get you back.
Move!
Now you three stay in here. I'm gonna go check that out.
( DOOR CREAKS, CLOSING )
( POLICE RADIO CHATTER )
( EERIE MUSIC PLAYING )
( PHONE RINGS )
There's gotta be a way out of here.
That's it right there.
( RADIO CHATTER )
Well, Daisy May, I suppose if you want a job done properly...
you have to do it yourself.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP )
What the hell?
( ELECTRICITY CRACKLING )
( SHELL CLANGS )
Run! Run, boy, you can't hide!
The big bad Sheriff's up for a killing party tonight!
( MUSIC CONTINUES )
( FAINT WHISPERING )
( WHISTLES )
Natalie, get us out of these cuffs.
You need us and you know it.
No, the last time, you almost killed me.
Look around you.
If we stay here tonight, it's over for all of us.
He's right, Natalie. Tonight is not our night.
( ELECTRICITY CRACKLES )
( MONASTIC CHANTS PLAYING )
That's right, I knew you had it in you.
Oh, shut up, would you? Come on!
( KEYS CLINKING ) Damn!
It was right there.
I don't see it.
It was right there beneath you.
I can't see it. I can't see anything!
Hey! It's time to get out of here.
( LOUD BANG )
( GUN FIRES ) What was that?
( LOUD THUD )
My god, where is it? They were right there, come on!
What is... what...
Ugh.
Looks like Officer What's His Face isn't coming back to get us.
Come on. Come on.
I found it. I found it!
Get these. Hurry up. Come on!
He's coming.
Okay... All right.
( DOOR OPENS )
Watch out, watch out.
Oh, man,
( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP )
( LOCK CLICKS ) You think that lock is gonna do us any good?
That thing outside is real. It's the thing from the news.
And we're next, unless...
Unless what? Huh? So suddenly we're all best friends all of a sudden?
No offense, but you're not exactly lifeline material.
And let's just say this is the last time you and I do business.
Okay? So, good luck to the two of you...
I'm getting the hell out of here.
Walk out that door and you're a dead man.
Only way out of here is together.
Listen, guys, if we... if we can just make it through the night...
then your money and your pills will both be back in your guys' hands.
So we're gonna risk getting killed in exchange for what's already ours?
Or we can die right now.
We just gotta make it to that truck.
Just give me the keys, I'll go get her.
No. You stay with her.
Get what you owe me. I'll get the truck.
Guys, um... about the truck? It's kind of, uh, broken.
Oh.
I didn't want you guys following me!
But this was before... any of this.
Oh, bitch just keeps getting better and better.
Is there anything that you can't ruin?
Listen, Jack, if you just put the wires back in the distributor cap...
she'll run like a charm.
You two, hold up your end. I'll pick you up out front.
Wait, wait, um... about what I said earlier?
I'm really sorry.
It's me who's messing everything up.
Nah, you're gonna be all right.
Just got to be a little smarter.
Stay safe.
( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING )
Aww, getting all lovey dovey.
Now they taught you well at whore school, didn't they?
You sure as hell can fake it when you need to make it, can't ya?
It's not all fake.
But you wouldn't know the difference, would you?
You expect me to buy that?
Do you?
Look at this face. Would I lie?
( ELECTRICITY CRACKLES )
Holy...
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )
( MUSIC CHANGES )
Where is it? I don't know.
Where'd you put it?
I don't know, listen, it was right there.
Where is it now?
Look, just stay here, you look...
I'm gonna go upstairs and check it out.
I don't think so.
Trust me.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )
( ELECTRICITY BUZZES )
( METALLIC GROAN )
Looking for this, Brad?
Why do you look so surprised?
All your stuff's there, man. You're home free.
But you never stuck to your part of the deal.
( COCKS REVOLVER )
Now, on your knees.
Is that all you got?
Huh, Rob? No, no, no!
I got something a little bit more poetic for you.
Go on. Do it. I want you to.
( CLANG )
( FLESH TEARING )
Looks like Daisy May's still into you, pal.
She's mine now.
Oh!
( ENGINE STARTS )
Mm, so are we square?
( CAR HONKS )
Almost.
( CAR APPROACHING )
Get in! Where's the lunatic?
I don't know, get in!
There's just one problem, Jack. What?
Why? Why? Get out, now!
You, I should shoot.
But you did save my life back there. So now we're square.
What? You can't just leave me here.
Oh, I can, and I will.
See, our little love story is just way too dangerous, sweetheart.
I think you're better suited for the road.
But we were on to a new beginning.
New beginning?
There are no new beginnings for people like us.
Haven't you figured that out already?
I'm afraid there's no fairytale ending for you, sweetheart.
( ELECTRICITY BUZZING )
Oh!
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )
( CHURCH BELL TOLLS )
( ELECTRICITY BUZZING )
( DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES )
Rise.
Behold your fate, sinner.
( STRUGGLES )
Why didn't you kill me before?
Salvation was within your reach.
What are you doing?
Sending you to hell where you belong.
You had your chance to change... but you failed.
Agh!
You're just like the rest of them, corrupt and wicked.
( MUFFLED SCREAMING )
Agh! Agh!
Jack! Get the keys in my front pocket!
It's in the front pocket.
Unlock the cuffs.
Thank you.
( GROANS )
Oh, my god... it's going to be okay!
It already is. You're gonna walk away.
I'm so sorry!
Don't be. You got time.
What? Take... take the truck.
To start again.
( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )
( PHONE RINGS )
( MACHINE BEEPS )
NATALIE (V.O.): Hey mom, I'm sorry I keep missing you.
On the way back to you now. The car's all fixed.
I met this really nice man, Jack, on the road last night.
I guess not all strangers are the bad kind.
Okay, well, I love you and I'll see you soon.
( ENGINE STARTS )
( WIND BLOWING )
Where are you headed?
Anywhere but here.
Hop in.
Are you okay? What happened to you?
You should see the other guys.
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
Ooh, I can't even begin to tell you about how many weirdoes I've met on the road.
Huh, I can imagine.
I didn't know a chick could drive a bad boy like this.
It used to belong to a friend of mine.
An ex?
Yeah. Something like that.
So... what's your story?
How much time you got?
