[Wind whooshing]
[Light acoustic guitar music]
May I help you, señor?
MAN: Thank you.
- Hello. - ARTHUR: My wife and I have a reservation
- under the name Pellham. - Pellham.
Okay, one moment please.
Ah!

I'll get this one.
You got gas?
I need gas for my car.
The pump truck came this morning.
We have a motel with showers for the truck drivers
and a certified scale.
You gonna order anything?
Steak and fries, medium coffee.
Anything else?
We'll see.
Can I get you anything else?
You got a motel room?
[Timber by Neko Case] ♪ Oh ♪
♪ Timber ♪
♪ Timber, fall into me ♪
♪ Timber ♪
♪ Timber, fall into me ♪
How you doin'?
Good.
Are you agent Scanlon?
Yeah.
Yeah, we've been expecting you.
Where's the guy who found the body?
He's over there in the squad car.
He's been waiting around for you.
Good, thanks.
I'd like to talk to him.
May I see the paperwork?
Hi, Donna Marbury.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Good to see you again, Dora.
[Upbeat rock music]
We also found this.
It was buried a good hundred yards from the body.
The only prints on it match the victim.
Kinda weird.
You guys need me. I'll be right over here.
I'll be damned.
All right, the locals should be working the crime scene
for the next 24 hours. Maybe 36.
Looks like our mystery woman kept some elite company.
I just ran the criminal case file about that Maria López
was just released from prison four months ago.
Ever hear of Arthur Banks?
Arthur Banks, sure.
We studied some of his work at Quantico.
His name would come up anytime there was a high profile hit.
But, but he hasn't been active for years.
Agency thinks he's been working in Latin America, for one of the drug cartels.
And what's his connection to Maria López?
She's his partner.
Or was.
He had a partner?
Look at this.
Ms. López was killed by a bullet with a Tungsten core.
Make a bullet spin faster, much more accurate.
- Very rare, very expensive. - How does that tie her to Banks?
Jobs done with this kind of bullet are one of two
things that get cases put into Banks's file.
The other?
Dead young women.
What do you mean?
Arthur likes to find a woman who doesn't
have a lot of options.
Someone he can easily control.
He gets her to do whatever might put him in risk.
Buy a weapon, steal a car... anything.
Once the job's done,
he kills her and buries her with the weapon
from the hit that he was actually hired to do.
That's the theory, anyway.
[Phone ringing]
[Dramatic orchestral music]
Will that be all?
Yeah, thanks.
There.
What's the story with the girl?
Oh, she's got a busted up car in the garage.
It's a shame, cause she don't have the cash to fix it.
Thanks a lot.
MAN: No problem.
You going to Paradise, Arizona, or just paradise, paradise?
Arizona, I guess.
Mostly I'm just tryin' to get outta here.
Small town blues, huh?
Yeah, something like that.
[Sighing]
Looks like I'm not goin' anywhere, though.
Been on the road for two days and the stupid thing
craps out on me and then that guy wants 600 bucks
to fix it and--
You could try and get a couple bucks for your car.
I can give you a ride into town and help you get a bus ticket.
Oh, no, thanks I'll be okay. Really, thanks.
Look, I understand I was... I was just trying to help.
Good luck getting outta here.
Hey, you're not some kind of maniac, are you?
I mean, you haven't killed anybody, have you?
No, not today.
[Laughing]
Well, there's a bus stop out in Pine Ridge.
It's about two hours from here.
You think you could just give me a lift there?
Sure, if you know how to get there.
Oh, yeah, there, there are signs all over the place.
You got yourself a deal.
- Okay, I'll be right back. - Okay.
More coffee?
Yeah, Thanks.
So, Dora?
DORA: Mm-hmm?
You've know this guy for 12 years.
Yeah, that's about right.
Used to come in more often,
but, um, he stops by every couple of years now, you know.
So when he stopped by yesterday, was he alone?
Did you see his car?
He's always alone.
I'm not very good at cars.
I think it was, uh, kinda old, green.
He did say he needed gas.
This guy kills people, Dora... for a living.
Well, I been hearin' how dangerous this guy is
for 10 years now, Officer Scanlon.
And in all that time I ain't never heard him say one
cross word, let alone raise his hand against nobody, so,
I think you're lookin' at the wrong guy.
BENNIE: So what line of work are you in?
Self-employed.
See that's the way to do things.
I've been working for other people way too long.
I'm headin' west to start fresh.
I'm an idea person.
- Hey, you passed our exit. - Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Well, that's okay, you can make a quick' u-ey right up here.
I don't think that would be a very good idea.
Where, where are you taking me?
I don't know yet.
I, I don't, I don't think this is gonna work,
um, can you just pull the car over and let me out?
I thought you were looking for a fresh start, lady.
I'm not lookin' for anything.
Okay?
I don't have any money.
You're kidnapping me.
Well, it's a little more complicated than that.
You're not gonna hurt me, are you?
I don't think so.
I'm trying to quit.
Thank you.
Light me one.
Look, we're gonna camp off the highway tonight.
By morning, you still want to go west,
you can walk.
I'll take you wherever you wanna go.
Even the police.
I don't trust cops.
Neither do I.
DONNA: You seem almost impressed.
If he's responsible for even half of what's in his file,
he's gotten to more highly guarded targets than
any killer in probably the last half century.
We thought he was the guy behind the grassy knoll
'til we found out he wasn't even born yet.
You wanna know the kicker?
What?
Ivy League.
He's got a better education than I do.
Class of 1983.
Every kind of Academic honor.
Phi Beta Kappa. Dean's List.
He disappeared without a trace right after graduation.
Hmm.
It seems like there's still a missing piece to all of this.
GEORGE: What's that?
Well, where's the other body?
You're right about all this. He hired Maria López
because he was going to kill somebody.
With the profile of work he does, we'd already know
about it if he'd actually made the hit.
His target's still out there.
Why wouldn't you let me out this afternoon?
It's complicated.
You already said that.
What are you doing out here, anyway?
I'm on a job.
Are you planning on whacking me?
You watched a lot of TV as a kid, didn't you?
BENNIE: Cheaper than a baby-sitter.
[Laughing]
ARTHUR: Smoke?
Thank you.
ARTHUR: Be careful, it's strong.
[Coughing]
Oh, shit, what time is it?
Whomever you stood up, I'm sure is long gone by now.
It's 11:15.
Oh fuck!
BENNIE: Well, I hope you brought enough for everybody.
It's insulin.
I'm diabetic.
No need to get snippy.
I've had it since I was little.
Type one?
Mm-hmm.
That can be tough on a kid.
Not really.
Made me tougher.
Taught me to get what I want out of life in a hurry.
Live every day like it could be your last.
That's why I'm on the road now.
Hmm. That's quite a philosophy you got goin'.
Almost from the lips of Epicurus himself.
BENNIE: Who?
Epicurus, a Greek philosopher.
His take was that pleasure and pain were the greatest
good and evils goin'.
I think you could teach him a thing or two, though.
So, what's your name, Epicretus?
You can call me Joe.
Joe.
That's not your real name, is it?
Well, I'm Bennie, Joe.
Bennie.
Yeah.
Why don't you tell me what you're really doin'
on the road now?
There's someone I don't wanna be around anymore.
- Does that someone smoke cigars? - What?
ARTHUR: Your arm, I saw the burn at the gas station.
That was, it was an accident.
You wanna get rich, Bennie?
Everybody dreams about gettin' rich.
[Light acoustic guitar music]
May I help you, señor?
MAN: Thank you.
[Suspenseful music]
Wow!
This is more like it.
- CLERK: Hello. - BENNIE: Hi.
ARTHUR: My wife and I have a reservation under the name Pelham.
Pelham?
Okay, one moment, please.
I wanna find, Pelham.
Ah!
You're the newlyweds!
- Yes. - Yes, We have you in the penthouse,
in the Casa del Amor Suite.
The view is to die for.
Lovely for newlyweds.
Sounds wonderful.
Honey, why don't you go to the gift shop
and get Aunt Helen and the boys a couple T-Shirts.
Okay, I'll be right back.
I'll see you up in the room.
Under no circumstances are we to be disturbed.
Oh, yes, of course.
Good.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
You know, this job, my profession, it's kind of
outside of the traditional interpretation of the law.
And I'm looking for a partner.
I can offer you a bigger payoff than you'll ever get
hitching rides into paradise.
So far, all you've offered me are beans out of a can.
[Laughing] Well, don't let appearances deceive you.
Could we make a lot of money?
ARTHUR: Depends what you think a lot of money is.
$50,000.
[Laughing]
Yeah.
We could make a lot of money.
[Sighing]
So what's it like being an outlaw?
ARTHUR: You tell me. You've been one for three hours now.
Hmm.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
GEORGE: I appreciate you all getting here so quickly.
Time is a resource we don't have a lot of so I'm gonna
assume you've actually gone through Agent Marbury's
debriefing and are already familiar
with the thrust of the operation.
As you've read, Arthur Banks has become active again.
- But at this point the operation is still strictly surveillance? - GEORGE: Yeah.
Washington's decided he's got unprecedented political value as a government witness.
We need to use him to get to the people he works for, you know the drill.
If that means tracking him on foot all the way
to Buenos Aires before he gives
us something direct and corroborated,
that's just what we're gonna do.
As far as the actual satellite beacon
and tapping, go in as soon as it looks like
he's leavin' the car for at least 15 minutes.
What do you want for breakfast?
These guys make great coffee.
I can't eat there.
What do you mean you can't eat there?
I went to one of those places once at, like, four in the morning.
Nobody was in the front so I went to the back
to see if I could find the night guy.
I figured he was sleepin' or somethin'.
So anyway, when I get back there, there is this chubby,
little, Sticky's Donut guy standing there,
humpin' the dough.
And he's got his little Sticky's Donut suit
around his ankles and he's just standing there
humping the fuckin' dough.
And he sees me and he smiles.
And he just keeps humping.
He didn't miss a beat.
I guess that was the manager's special.
[Laughing]
Or he was making the cream-filled ones.
Get it?
[Laughing]
ARTHUR: Yeah.
Hey, where are you goin'?
You're leaving me here?
Hey!
I don't think you'll go real far.
What the fuck are you doin'?
That's all my stuff, that's my insulin and my money.
You can't do that!
Yes, I can.
Here.
Go get me a couple packs of cigarettes.
In 20 minutes meet me around the corner.
Look for a red Bonneville.
BENNIE: Asshole.
Let's move.
All set.
Once you get the beacon in, stick close,
you see anything, start whistling.
Remember what the old man said.
No worries.
Let's just make it fast.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
Ugh!
What's that smell?
Is that you?
What are you talking about?
Jesus Christ, what the fuck did you eat?
Is it gonna be like this the whole trip?
You smell like my fuckin' father.
[Sighing]
I'm hungry.
- So? - So, I'm diabetic, and I need to eat.
Next gas is a 130 miles.
Oh, great. I'll just feed off your sparkling
conversation until then.
Why don't you just shut up?
No, I won't shut up.
First you take my fuckin' insulin.
- And then you got me cooped up - Is that what this is about?
in this piece of shit car, and you haven't told me anything about this stupid job bullshit.
What do I gotta do, have manners, too?
No, what you gotta have is a lot less to say.
We're gonna be stuck in this car for an awfully long time
so, enough already. Okay?
I think I want some money up front now.
This is bullshit.
I'm not stupid, you know?
How do I know you're not gonna drive me all over
creation and then [Grunting]
stick me? [Grunting]
Let me explain to you somethin' about your situation.
You are either gonna sit there and do exactly what I say
and shut the fuck up, or I will find a permanent
resting spot for your bony fuckin' ass!
Fuck you!
Just fuck you!
You don't scare me, you know.
Let me out of this!
Pull the fuckin' car over right now and let me out!
You wanna get out?
BENNIE: Keep your filthy hands off me
and stop the car now!
Fine.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
[Gun clicking]
Fucking bitch.
MAN: Hop in.
Fuck you.
[Light orchestral music]
I'm just gonna wash up for a second.
Just make sure you're ready.
We're here.
We're in suite 41.
That's fine.
Look, I don't know how soon this is gonna happen.
I'll call him when the time is right.
[Whooshing]
[Light acoustic guitar music]
MAN: Here ya go.
WOMAN: Thanks, George.
BENNIE: I didn't mean it.
Don't waste my time.
Oh, come on!
You wouldn't have kept my insulin if you didn't want me
to come back.
Have any partners lined up?
ARTHUR: I'm listening.
I want in.
You had your chance. Why should I trust you?
I'm broke.
You've got all my insulin.
I could be in a diabetic coma at this time tomorrow.
Thank you.
Anything else?
Look we're in the middle of fucking nowhere, all right?
How long am I gonna last hitching rides
from lonely truckers?
Keep talkin'.
Okay, this is what I propose.
We become business partners, split the take 40, 60.
I, of course will assume 40% of the risk,
whatever that is.
Being your lookout, spying, you know, taking the point--
Listen up, Mata Hari.
When I started this job, I already had a partner.
She thought she was pretty smart, too.
Smart enough to do the job without me.
Now she's dead because I killed her.
So, here's the deal.
You'll be well taken care of
as long as you don't fuck with me.
Any more of this bullshit and it's over.
No questions asked.
BENNIE: What's this?
You don't seem to get it, do you?
Information will be given to you on a need-to-know basis.
And you get 15%.
20% and it's a deal.
Man, you've got balls.
MAN: What is goin' on there?
OFFICER: Shit!
Sit tight.
That envelope makes us rich.
You're about to cross the Rubicon.
Well, I don't know what that means,
but if it's gonna make me rich, I like it.
Open it, take a look inside.
Just notes, maps and passports.
The meaty stuff's encrypted.
We're going south to Mexico.
You're my newlywed bride.
From here on in, we're on our honeymoon.
[Laughing] Mexico.
And you expect people to believe I married you?
Well, I hope you at least
booked a luxury suite.
Well, let's just say I pay particular
attention to the view.
How come we're not flyin' there?
Airline tickets, credit cards,
they leave a paper trail.
Cash attracts attention.
And all I have to do is act like your--
Wife.
BENNIE: And then you give me a lot of money, right?
It's not that simple.
After I finish the job, we gotta get outta there and quick.
You're the driver.
I'm the getaway driver.
Call it what you want.
You just better know how to get us the hell outta there.
[Tires screeching]
Just call me when you know something.
Bye.
All they had was chicken.
It's fine, I'm not that hungry anyway.
That was Washington again.
They're researching potential targets in the Southwest and Mexico.
Good. And CSG?
They are negotiating a jurisdiction agreement
with the Mexican government just in case he gets that far.
I've also contacted the legate there,
just to cover all bases.
Nice work, Marbury.
You got a boyfriend?
No.
Not for a while now.
GEORGE: Really?
Sharp kid like you.
I'm pretty happy where I am.
I was married before I signed up.
Just lucky, I guess.
[Cell phone rings]
Marbury here.
They've lost them.
Give me the phone.
What happened? When?
Shit! You're looking at a green Nova?
All right, he switched cars. Maybe he heard footsteps.
Trace the registration. Sit tight, we'll call you back.
- What happened? - I wanna know what they saw in the flare.
Find out if we still have visual contact with him.
Let's see if we can get any other satellite help
before dark, he couldn't have gotten more than 150 miles.
We might still be okay.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
I'd like to be in Tucson by tomorrow night.
Following that we'll cross the border and the morning
of the 15th, we'll arrive in Agua Punto.
Aqua Punto?
Are we stopping there?
For now just gimme the mileage to Tucson.
So many secrets.
You know, we're gonna be needin' a new map pretty soon.
Tucson... Tucson.
Do you mind stoppin' for a quick snack?
I think my blood sugar's droppin'.
Sure.
We're gonna need some gas anyway.
Hey! Whoa!
- W hat the fuck are you doin', man? - Why are you followin' me?
- What are you talkin' about? - Don't lie to me.
- Who are you and why are you followin' me? - Holy shit!
Get back to the car, you don't need to see this.
Bennie, you're gonna let this guy kill me, huh?
Remember you... you took a vow to honor and obey me.
He's my husband.
Yeah.
You don't move.
You wanna explain to me why your husband has been
following us for the last two hours?
Hey, man, look, that's my wife.
Why don't you just let me talk to her for a minute, all right?
Why don't you just relax there, buddy, okay?
What the fuck's going on here?
Why can't you just leave me alone? Huh?
Just get the hell outta here, Byron!
What're you guys, goin' down to Mexico now?
- Is that it, huh? - Oh, fuck you, Byron, and fuck everything else!
ARTHUR: Get back to the car, Bennie!
Hey!
You.
Gimme your car keys.
Give me your keys.
Get undressed.
Come on, man, what?
What are you talkin' about.
Naked or dead, buddy, but decide fast.
BYRON: All right.
I would not advise you to follow us any further.
Have you ever been tempted?
I don't know what makes someone go to the other side.
It's not in my nature.
People like you and me, we're destined to toil
through our lives on the straight and narrow.
So how do you know so much about Banks, anyway?
We go back a ways.
- Really? - I guess you could say I met Arthur Banks 15 years ago.
I was hiding a potential witness. It was a big deal.
We'd gotten this big numbers guy for one of the Family's
drug operations.
I was younger.
I wanted to impress everybody
with how deep I could bury my guy.
And he was scared.
But he trusted me.
Anyway, I followed all the rules.
Changed addresses, identities, the whole nine yards.
Got a lot of pats on the back for my good work.
And what happened?
The evening before the case came to trial
he was found dead with a bullet in his head.
It had a Tungsten core.
He got to a protected guy.
It's impossible.
Almost.
I got transferred out of Organized Crime
in Los Angeles right down into Gallup Security.
Checking out backgrounds for every summer intern
that applied to the federal government.
So how long did it take you
to get a real assignment again?
I'd say Arthur Banks owes me five years of my life.
And he owes the government one good informant.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you about Byron.
Look, I left him and that's how you found me.
I didn't know he was gonna come after me.
What does he want?
He thinks I owe him money, and I don't.
My father passed away a few months ago
and he left me a few dollars.
Byron thought he should get half and I didn't.
I paid off some debts to make a clean break,
and I bought the car... and there's no more money.
He just thinks there is.
And you are worried people
wouldn't believe you've married me?
[Speaking foreign language]
Do you mind speaking English?
In matters of opinion, debate is pointless.
You can't account for taste.
Hey, this is my life we're talking about,
not some book review.
I'm sorry, Joe, but I had to work before I finished high school
and Prince Charming didn't spend
a lotta time in my neighborhood and I didn't get to go to some
fancy school and wear a lot of corduroy.
I used to wish he was dead.
He used to hit me.
He used to get drunk and hit me.
I have to leave for a few minutes.
Your husband doesn't look like he's a problem that's gonna go away.
Before you go, can I ask you a question?
What?
What's your real name?
You can call me Banks.
Banks.
I didn't have you figured for a Eugene.
Stay with the car no matter what happens.
[Sighing]
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
[Lock clicking]
- [Gun firing] - [Grunting]
[Knocking on door]
I have to pee.
I'm sorry, son.
This wash room is out of order.
Why don't you go back over there behind the bushes
so you don't bother your mom and dad?
Okay.
Thanks.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
He's playing at the university.
Holy shit!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh, look at that!
- He's still here. - He still gotta be here.
Bennie, get in the car.
Is everything all right?
Who were those guys?
Are we in trouble?
Not yet.
[Tires screeching]
The murder weapon is in that car, Robinson.
Get on the phone to Scanlon, tell him we've got his
direct and corroborated evidence.
We need to contact local police.
Have McCoy meet 'em at the gas station,
make sure nobody touches that bathroom.
I'm on it.
What are we gonna do?
We're not doing anything until we lose these guys that are followin' us.
You killed him, didn't you?
I can't believe it.
Bennie, this is not the time
for existential revelations.
They're gonna get McCoy to the bathroom in about 20 minutes.
Scanlon was pretty hot. He said Washington's gonna flip when they find out
somebody's been killed.
More reason to nail this fucker now.
What the hell's goin' on?
Where'd he go?
Son of a bitch.
He disappeared about right here.
Well, maybe we should wait for Scanlon, okay?
I'll get McCoy over here.
We don't find him now, he's gonna bury that gun
and erase any connection he had to the killing.
Yeah, but if we go out there--
You wanna tell Scanlon we lost
him on a two lane fuckin'
highway with no exits?
We gotta find the tire tracks.
He could be anywhere!
MAN: Put on your vest.
- [Gun firing] - [Screaming]
[Gun firing]
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
Close the door!
Come on!
[Tires screeching]
- You all right? - Yeah, I'm lucky I didn't get any further
out of the car.
Can we get out of here?
He shot out both tires.
I gotta call McCoy for help.
- Holy shit! - I don't know who the fuck those guys were,
but they didn't want us getting down to Mexico.
We're still going, aren't we?
Yeah, but I gotta take care of somethin'.
What are we gonna do?
I gotta get back to the gas station.
Why?
I left something in the bathroom.
[Tires screeching]
What's goin' on?
What are we doin' back here?
Just look at the map and find me the nearest town.
I'll be back in about 10 minutes.
Why can't I come?
I can't explain it right now, Bennie, okay?
I just wanna know what's going on.
Ow, fuck!
You don't struggle, it won't hurt as much.
Fuck!
What the fuck?
My wrist is fine, thanks.
ARTHUR: Yeah, well, I told you not to struggle.
Who were those guys, cops?
Feds, probably.
Sometimes my reputation precedes me.
Feds?
Do you think they'll come after us?
Yeah, probably.
I'm gonna have to run down the highway here
for about a mile and a half with the lights off.
If it's dark enough, we should be able to get out of the satellites.
Satellites?
I think you're a little paranoid.
We're gonna have to switch cars, too.
When I get off the highway, look for a motel.
You spend a lot of time in motels,
don't you?
More than some, less than others.
I lost my virginity in a motel.
I was 14.
How many women have you slept with in your life?
- Bennie! - BENNIE: Come on, don't play dumb.
[Sighing]
I don't know, I don't keep
track of things like that.
How many?
One?
Two?
I would expect your total needs
to be expressed as a power of 10.
How'd you get to be this way,
Banks, don't you ever have a good time?
Not when I'm working.
BENNIE: How about when you're not working?
Why do you want to know so much about me?
How come you answer every question with a question?
Because I don't want to answer them.
It's right here in this stall.
Son of a bitch.
Dibs!
Oh, man, TV!
I haven't seen TV for days!
[TV powering on]
Damn it, there's nothin' on.
I know just what I wanna do.
I'm gonna take a nice, hot shower.
Wash off some of this highway grime.
What do you say you buy me a drink at that cute little
dive next door?
Not a chance.
Don't be such a stick in the mud.
I'm just gonna spruce up a little and then we're gonna
have that drink, okay?
Do you see a lot of movies?
No, I don't suppose you do.
Did you ever see one of those movies about some guy
who comes back from the future or he's implanted
in another guy's body then he's
gotta convince his best friend
that he's his best friend even though he's
in some other guy's body?
I always wondered what I would tell someone
to convince them that I was me,
even though I didn't look like me.
Ever think about stuff like that, Banks?
[Laughing]
No.
MAN [On TV]: The U.S. vice president travels
to the remote hotel resort of Agua Punto, Mexico this
weekend as a show of support for Mexican Presidential
hopeful Ernesto Zapata.
Zapata has been waging an aggressive campaign against
the current administration, citing corruption
and complicity with the country's powerful drug cartels.
I am proof that the American dream
has become the Pan-American dream.
All of you have everything you need to
become the great men and women of the 21st century.
Education, schooling, these are the equalizers--

[Woman on TV speaking Spanish]
The coroner's on the way.
Forensics arrived before we did, but they're still in the bathroom.
I got a statement from the clerk.
He says that he didn't even know that Banks was still here.
- He saw him leave 15 minutes before the shooting. - Got anything from the Nova?
Stolen. Lifted from a Las Cruces impound lot.
Registered to a Father Marcus O'Sullivan.
Stolen from a car lot of stolen cars.
A dead end.
Any word on when we'll have a bead on 'em again?
It could be a few hours.
We have nothing from the satellites and we had no one
on the ground to confirm what they saw in the flare.
BENNIE: What are you gonna do with
all that money we're gonna get?
Gonna retire.
BENNIE: I think I'm gonna sail around the world.
It's the only thing I always knew and I wanted to do.
Big yacht.
Have a bunch of servants and stuff.
Well, we've got a long way to go before you start
buying yachts.
BENNIE: Don't you ever dream about stuff?
Sure.
Pneumatic women, trampolines--
BENNIE: I don't think you're a very happy person, Banks.
Why? Because I don't dream about purple sunsets and Piña Coladas?
No.
'Cause you never smile.
Wow.
How 'bout that drink?
[Country music]
♪ You never looked better than you do ♪
Now this is my idea of a good time.
We're here for one drink.
We've got an early start.
Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.
Bartender.
Two shots of Cuervo, no limes.
You sure are a tough guy, aren't you?
What are you talkin' about?
"Two shots of Cuervo."
Spit in the glass.
You walk like a tough guy.
You talk like a tough guy.
You even order drinks like a tough guy
I'm not a tough guy.
I'm careful.
Careful of what?
Pretty women.
Hmm.
Thank you.
Nice wallet.
Guess you don't apply for a lot of credit cards.
[Laughs]
Here's to finding paradise.
I don't wanna drink to that.
Okay.
Let's drink to new friends?
Let's just drink.
Okay.
[Drinks hit counter]
Okay, let's go.
Nope.
- So you know how to dance, tough guy? - No.
Whaddaya mean no? Anyone with hips like those has got to be a good dancer.
See my hips?
I could never be a dancer.
Dancers have no hips.
See, all the best dancers,
Ginger Rogers, you name it,
they're all shaped like little boys.
It's my curse, these hips.
All I ever wanted was to be a dancer.
Well, that's really too bad.
Can I look at that again?
Fuck you.
You're not even listening to me!
'Course I'm listening to you.
I'm listening to a girl tellin' me she doesn't like
- her hips when in my humble opinion-- - Come on, let's dance.
I told you, I don't know how to dance.
BENNIE: Come on, it's fun.
Oh, baby!
[Laughing]
Oh, shit!
I'm gonna show you how to two-step.
It's really considered just two steps.
Put one hand here and one hand here.
You can hold me closer-- I don't have cooties.
All right, now we're gonna shuffle back.
That's good.
Now we're gonna step with the same foot.
There you go.
Now you step with this foot.
You're doing it.
Shuffle, step, step, shuffle.
Can we just go around like this?
Yeah, okay.

[Door clicking]
Mmm. I haven't slept like that in forever.
I don't suppose you brought back some pancakes?
I'm glad you had a good time, Bennie.
We gotta get back on the road.
We've got enough of a break.
Break?
What are you talking about, a break?
We just had a night out and we just made love.
No, we had motel sex.
Put your shit together, we gotta go.
Okay.
[Door slams shut]
Okay.
Fuck you, too.
[Upbeat rock music]
Where's the Bonneville?
I told you we had to switch cars.
Where's the Bonneville?
Where's all your stuff?
Everything we need is right here.
Look, I knew we had to switch cars,
I just didn't know you were gettin' a fuckin' ugly minivan.
Check the map, tell me how far we are from the border.
Look, Bennie, I'm sorry.
BENNIE: 'Bout what?
Last night, it was a mistake.
Well, don't shed any tears over me,
I was just looking to get my rocks off.
It could never work this way.
I don't know what you're talking about,
I am just the getaway driver.
I'm here for my cut
and after that I'm gone.
You're not getting fuckin' dewy-eyed on me, are you?
No.
Good.
Don't flatter yourself.
I'm not one of those women that has
to be in love to fuck in a motel.
Let's just forget about it, okay?
I gotta go get us a few things
we're gonna need in Mexico.
Here. Take this.
I want you to get a couple of passport photos across the street.
When you finish, meet me out here at the bar in a half hour.
Banks?
What?
Can I ask you a question?
[Sighing]
Yeah.
Is there anything you like about me?
No, not really.
But you wouldn't tell me even if there was, right?
No.
Especially since you asked.
Don't be late.
Mornin' ma'am. I think this belongs to you.
You gotta be more careful than that.
Oh, thanks, I--
Walk with me into this bar.
Smile.
Look impressed with downtown Butt-fuck.
Why are you meeting me now?
Robinson's in the hospital, Harper.
Sadaowsky's dead and Washington's so far up my ass
I can't fuckin' believe it.
Sadaowsky saved my life.
It was his idea to plan the story
that he was my husband.
He just made a mistake.
Excuse me.
It's Washington. Clarke.
- No! - He wants an update.
Tell him I need 10 minutes.
DONNA: Okay.
Sadaowsky's body disappeared from the gas station
bathroom last night.
- What? - That leaves me with a missing,
dead federal agent, and a killer with a motive,
but no way to connect the two. Now, tell me somethin'.
We parked across the street after we left the gas station.
Banks headed toward the bathrooms when the police
took off, but made me stay with the car.
We doubled back after we lost Davis and Robinson
on the highway but parked in back of the store.
He handcuffed me to the wheel.
I couldn't see anything.
Any idea how he could have dispensed
with the body that fast?
No.
[Sighing]
How am I gonna make a case
for murder with no body?
There's no ballistics, no forensics. I can't establish Sadaowsky's even dead.
Then why are you meeting me now?
I'll shut this whole thing down. I'm not gonna lose anybody else.
Washington's pushing me to let this continue
'cause they wanna know who's behind the whole thing.
Now, I need to know what you've got.
I saw him fire at Davis and Robinson in the desert.
You know that's not good enough to flip him.
I need somethin' to tie him to the murder.
What about the car?
He ditched the Bonneville last night.
It's gone-- the guns, the Tungsten bullets, everything.
Where were you when this was going on?
I was asleep.
I understand he's a very charming guy.
What?
Even the best agents can lose their perspective.
Are we goin' through with this or are we shutting down?
Just fuckin' relax.
Look. A man's dead. I can't change that.
I can only tell you what I saw.
What do you know about the job?
Only a few details.
We're headed towards northern Mexico, Aqua Punto.
He hasn't said anything, but my guess is we're going
to the summit meeting with the vice president and Zapata.
We only get one chance at him.
You arrest him now, we'll never know who
he was gonna kill, or who hired him.
Come on, Scanlon, let's finish this.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
Looks like we're goin' to Mexico.
I just heard.
I wanted to get some information from you
before we hit the road again.
Better make it quick.
Scanlon?
George?
I was just thinking.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe people aren't born on one side of the law or the other.
Maybe even people like me or you could be tempted.
I'm sorry.
Are you referring--
Nothing.
I'm not referring to anything.
I wanna talk to Clarke.
- I think we're gonna need some help. - DONNA: Okay.
GEORGE: Let's try to get some more men out of Albuquerque.
I wanna put you in charge of a second team.
If we're going to Mexico, it's time to tighten the net.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
What's goin' on?
I'm just lookin' over some things,
double checking.
Now, since you're up, come over here
and take a look at this.
We can go over some details.
Okay.
Here.
That's the hotel.
I want you to study that.
[Yawning]
When we check in,
I want you to casually walk out onto the patio.
There'll be a big man readin' an American paper.
He'll have a friend with him. He'll be dressed all in black.
I want you to go to him and I want you to ask for the Real Estate, Business,
and Sports sections.
Then I want you to bring them back to me
up at the hotel room.
Why do we need the newspaper?
We don't, we need what's inside.
Our final instructions.
We have a specific time table, traffic information,
anything that's relevant that I couldn't find on my
initial trips down here.
Most importantly, they'll tell us where
to meet the man in black
so he can give us the airport locker key.
The key to our money.
ARTHUR: Exactly.
BENNIE: What if something goes wrong?
Well, we will be seeing the man in black earlier
than we had planned.
And he will not be there to give us the airport locker key.
Banks?
ARTHUR: What?
What's it like to actually kill someone?
There's nothing worse.
Then why, why do you do it?
Well, I can't give you a real neat
and tidy answer, Bennie.
It's not like someone walked up to me one day
and gave me a gun and said now,
today you are a professional killer.
It was more than just one thing.
There were a lot of circumstances.
I passed on a couple opportunities to get out
and one day those opportunities just stopped coming.
Shit, even that was a long time ago.
What happens after Mexico?
I don't know what happens after Mexico, Bennie.
So we just go our separate ways.
Shake hands, thanks for a job well done?
I don't know what's goin' to happen after Mexico, Bennie.
Why don't you ask me this time tomorrow?
[Dramatic orchestral music]
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
CLERK: Hello.
- Hi. - Hi.
My wife and I have a reservation under the name Pelham.
Pelham?
Ah!
- You're the newlyweds! - ARTHUR: Yes.
CLERK: Yes, we have you in the penthouse.
Hi, hi.
You know,
it's been so long since I've seen an American newspaper.
Can I borrow some of yours?
What section?
Real Estate, Business, Sports.
Of course.
BENNIE: I've got the newspaper.
Boy, I wouldn't want those guys pissed off at me.
Can I see the newspaper?
I'm telling you, Banks, you would have been real proud of me.
I'm just gonna wash up for a second.
Just make sure you're ready.
We're here.
Tell Scanlon we're in suite 41.
Okay.
I've got a second group.
Scanlon and I are both at the hotel.
That's fine.
The critical thing is to keep Scanlon's group
from busting in too early.
He does, he'll catch Banks doing nothin'
but readin' a newspaper and blow everything for us.
The timing is crucial.
Tell Scanlon I'll call him when the time is right.
I understand.
I'll arrange everything.
BENNIE: Good luck, Marbury.
Good luck.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
BENNIE: What's going on?
We have less time than I had anticipated.
I need you downstairs in the car waiting for me in less
than half an hour.
BENNIE: Wow. Somehow it never seemed real 'til now.
I need you to pick the car up from the garage.
I want you to tip well, but not extravagantly.
And I need you to pull the car out of the front entrance.
I want you to stay to the right side.
It's a no parking zone, but nobody should bother you
for at least a half hour as long as you stay with the car.
You run into any trouble, I want you
to give the meter maid $50 American.
Bennie?
Bennie!
Are you getting any of this?
Yeah. Yeah sure, I got it.
Here.
Listen, don't rush me, okay?
I just want to get the rest of my things.
I just wanna have all my stuff if I'm gonna be living
some fairy-tale ending.
Bennie.
You forgot your insulin.
Couldn't get very far without that, could I?
[Dramatic orchestral music]
Banks?
What?
See you on the other side.
WOMAN: This is Gabriela Huerta.
[Continues in Spanish]
Turn on the news.
[Speaking Spanish]
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
Scanlon, it's Harper. Did Marbury fill you in?
She's about to seal off the lobby.
My team's comin' directly to your suite.
Standing by on your word, all right?
Don't go on my word, I don't know if I'm gonna make
it to a phone again.
Just head up when you see the next limo arrive.
All right.
[Speaking Spanish]
He's in the eighth one.
[Reporter continues in Spanish]
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
Freeze, FBI!
[Gun firing]
[Grunting]
Bennie?
No reason to make this any harder than it already is.
Here's the deal, I walk out of here with that suitcase
and you walk out of here with your life.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I decided to change the plans.
Don't force me to kill you.
[Grunting]
Cuff yourself to the terrace.
Fuck you!
Do it now.
[Light acoustic guitar music]
[Reporters speaking in Spanish]
Something's wrong.
Find out which suite he's in, and bust down the fuckin' door.
Find out what happened. If he's not dead, kill him.
[Reporter continues in Spanish]
I know what you're thinkin', Banks.
I've spent the last five years workin' for the FBI.
Do you think anybody's gonna be able to find me
after I walk outta here?
You're a fuckin' plant.
This is nothing but a business exchange.
You especially should be able to appreciate that.
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
[Spitting]
Ah, fuck!
Marbury. He must have switched rooms. Something's fucked up here.
Leave a couple of guys down there, you get your ass up here right away.
Bring some pass keys. We're gonna have to search the hotel.
Okay, I've already got the keys,
I'll send a couple of 'em up to you
and I'll get my guys and I'll start down here.
What the fuck?
This is our world-famous assassin?
There were some unforeseen complications.
Complications, huh?
- [Gun firing] - [Grunting]
If I were you, I would have let those gentlemen
finish their job.
Maybe that's the difference between you and me.
Being undercover with you was not
without its pleasant moments.
I've tried to make this as painless as possible.
Yeah, well, forgive me if I forget to thank you.
Maybe you should kill me.
You're worth much more to me alive.
You're my insurance.
The FBI isn't gonna spend a lot of time worrying about
what happened to me if I can deliver you.
Goodbye, Banks.
[Dramatic orchestral music]
[Door clicking]
[Phone ringing]
[Phone beeping]
Scanlon.
BENNIE: Scanlon, it's Harper.
Where the hell are you, Harper?
BENNIE: Penthouse.
Suspect apprehended, sir.
Prepared to give a full confession.
I've got him subdued and cuffed.
We've been lookin' all over the goddamned hotel for you, Harper.
- [Phone clicking] - Harper, Harp, let's get up there now!
Penthouse.
[Phone ringing]
[Suspenseful orchestral music]
[Phone beeping]
Harper?
Oh, Jesus, check the suite!
- Agent Scanlon, do you copy? - Go.
I thought this might be worth noting, sir.
Agent Harper just passed me in the lobby
and she's now leaving the hotel.
Agent Harper is alone and leaving the hotel.
Please advise.
Agent Harper is leaving the hotel?
Do you copy that, Marbury?
DONNA: I copy that. I'm heading out after her.
Get some people up here to seal out the room. We need to own this hotel now.
Which way was she headed?
DONNA: West on Hacienda.
Toward the airport.
- [Tires screeching] - [Suspenseful orchestral music]
Pull up over there.
DONNA: She just passed the Mexicana desk.
I'm gaining on her.
Come on.
[Phone rings]
DONNA: I think she just went into a bathroom, Scanlon,
stand by.
I think I've lost her, Scanlon. I'm not sure where she is.
Fuckin' bitch!
What the fuck are you doing here?
I had to go.
Funny.
Get that one out of here, Bill.
Put your hands on your head.
Put your hands on your head!
Come on.
You and me are here for the same reason?
I'm Federal Officer Scanlon.
We're gonna ask you some questions.
Outside.
[Dramatic orchestral music]
Shit.
