Beast of Burden (2018)

SEAN: Whoa. This piece of shit.
[PLANE ENGINE REVVING]
SEAN: Shit, it's 300
all the way.
Fly, drop, land, run.
Don't go back to Mexico, ever.
[LOUD RATTLING]
JEN: [ON PHONE]
Hey, babe, just remember
when you go to the grocery store
to pick up...
[BEEPING]
- SEAN: Hey.
- JEN: Where are you?
SEAN: Uh, where?
I'm on my flight.
I'm talking on the Wi-Fi.
- What, uh, whats wrong?
- JEN: I'm coming.
- I'm just in the bathroom.
- Wait, is someone there with you?
JEN: Megan came over.
Uh, so, what's... whats wrong?
JEN: Nothing's wrong.
I feel good.
I don't feel sick.
Okay. Um, are you drinking?
JEN: [CHUCKLES] I've had
a few glasses of wine.
- But I'm an adult. I can drink.
- I understand that.
But, uh, did the doctor say
that was...
JEN: The doctor says
it won't kill me, so...
- is that enough of an answer?
- Its fine.
You know what you're doing.
JEN: Suddenly, you care?
I always care.
[RATTLING]
JEN: Just tell me that
everything's gonna be okay.
Um, Jen, you know, you and Megan
go finish that wine,
and I'm gonna be back
before you wake up. How's that?
JEN: But you can't just say
everything's going to be okay?
- I'm working on it right now.
- [PHONE RINGING]
Okay? Uh...
Okay, um, I... I'm sorry, honey,
I got to go.
- JEN: What was that noise?
- It was the... I'm just calling
- the stewardess.
- JEN: I can't hear you. I...
The seat belt sign just came on.
It's getting kind of bumpy.
- JEN: Okay, well, call me later.
- Yep.
MAN: [OVER RADIO]
My man, my man.
Yes?
- MAN: My man, can you hear me?
- Yes.
MAN: You left so quick.
Uh, yes, you said I was fighting
the morning.
MAN: There's something
I need to tell you.
But listen, there are reports.
What... what reports?
Reports of what?
MAN: They're packing up
on the border.
Pa... packing up?
Okay, I dunno what you mean.
- You mean they're...
- MAN: Yes, yes, my man.
Right, they're leaving
or, like...
MAN: I don't know.
Okay, packing up, like,

or, like, you mean,
packing in?
MAN: Radar, searchlights
all over the border.
[RADIO STATIC]
Hello?
- [PHONE BEEPING]
- [DIALING TONE]
Hello?
Do you... do you hear me?
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
Hello? What's his name?
[PLANE HUMMING]
It's okay.
This would happen.
You knew
this would happen.
You are cool.
Cool as...
You're fine. Just do your job.
Just do your job, Sean.
[MONITOR BEEPING]

[LINE RINGING]
JEN: [ON PHONE] What?
Everything will be okay.
Hi.
Hi.
You know,
you should apologize.
For what?
For the wholly
unnatural thoughts
about your body you make
me have at night.
[LAUGHS] Stop it.
You're trying to be cute
and it's not working.
Not eve... not even a little?
Maybe a little.
[CHUCKLES]
Uh, how long is Megan gonna
be there for?
[SIGHS] Not much longer.
She's on the phone with Jeremy
right now.
Their kid just split her chin
on the edge
- of the coffee table.
- You really want one of those?
A husband?
Yeah, that's exactly
what I meant.
I'll let you know
when I find one.
[PLANE ENGINE RATTLING]
I can't wait to have
a kid with you.
Yeah, Sean, you know
that can't happen right now.
I know.
You know that... that moment
that all couples say they have,
when the...
the house is a mess,
and they're covered
in vomit,
and the kid's, like,
finally sleeping for 45 minutes,
and they look at each other
like, What the fuck did we do?
I am... I am actually looking
forward to that.
We're gonna be
great at it.
[MOUTHS SILENTLY] We will...
And I'm...
I'm done flying.
After this, I'm done.
Is everything okay?
The last time you said that,
you left the Air Force.
[PLANE ENGINE RUMBLING]
[PHONE RINGING]
- BLOOM: [ON PHONE] Hey.
- Uh, yes?
[LINE DISTORTING]
- Sean, can you hear me?
- Hello?
[GARBLED SPEECH]
- BLOOM: Sean.
- [BEEPS]
Okay.
It's okay, you knew
this would fucking happen.
You knew this would happen.
MAN: [OVER RADIO]
There's a change in plans.
Uh, change? Change how?
New drop zone.
Nothing you can't handle.
[BEEPING]
Wait, that's...
That's 50 minutes away.
Hello? Yeah, that is...
that's 50 minutes away.
Take or give.
Well, I barely have
enough fuel for that.
You have enough, if you follow
the course, you have enough.
Well, no, not really, this isn't
the plan, okay?
- You can't just...
- My man, this is the plan.
This is the new plan.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- Hey, hey, what was that?
Uh, it's nothing.
It's the pressure.
The oil pressure.
Uh, it's... it's fine.
I copy you
on the new drop point.
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- [RINGING CONTINUES]
Jesus Christ.
- What?
- [GARBLED TRANSMISSION]
Oh, Jesus Christ!
[GARBLED SPEECH]
Fly.
Fucking idiot.
Can't get a phone.
Okay, so, what, that's...
forty eight minutes out.
[PHONE RINGING]
Yes, what?
BLOOM: [ON PHONE]
Hey, sorry for the false start.
Obviously having some trouble
setting up the secure line.
What are you guys doing
at the border?
What are you talking about?
We're not at the border.
Don't lie to me.
They're fucking scared.
- They already rerouted me.
- Do you have the laptop?
- Is it secure?
- Yes.
Good. That's good.
No, I got to tell you,
something feels off about it...
Hey, hey, Sean, you need
to focus on your wife.
She needs to get better.
You are doing
the right thing here.
I promised you a new life
and treatment for your wife.
Didn't I?
I trust you.
Don't start doubting that okay?
Okay.
I just wanna make sure
you understand what's expected
- of you here.
- [LONG BEEP]
Oh, shoot! Come on.
[PLANE REVVING]
[PHONE RINGING]
What was that, Bloom?
It was kinda hard
to follow this time.
- BLOOM: What was hard to follow?
- That line of bullshit
you love to read me about how
this is all for my own good.
[BLOOM CHUCKLES]
We have a good thing going here.
Yeah, you give me a laptop,
I give you a new life.
It's not bad for a night's work.
I need those coordinates now.
Yeah, when I get them,
you'll be the first to know.
What do you mean?
You said they already sent them
to you.
Bye.
So, 50...
minutes of fuel, 48 minutes out.
That's fucking...
[PHONE RINGING]
[RINGING CONTINUES]
[RINGING CONTINUES]
That's fucking...
[PHONE RINGING]
Yes?
MAN:
Hey, what happened?
Happened? Uh, sorry?
You just climbed suddenly.
Is there a problem?
No. No, no, no.
No problem.
From this point on,
you check in every 10 minutes.
- Okay, what, I...
- I want updates.
I just call you on this line?
This behavior
is not good, my man.
We have decided
to change your terms.
What do you mean, change?
What behavior? What do you...
- [LINE CUTS]
- Hey!
[PHONE DIALING]
[LINE RINGING]
Hello?
Hello!
It's fine, it's fine.
JEN: [ON PHONE] Sean?
Sean?
Were you talking to someone?
SEAN: Talking to you.
Thinking out loud.
JEN: [ON PHONE]
Did you get my voicemail?
Um, I'd rather hear it
from a horse's mouth.
What... what was it?
It's just for...
for when you land,
for the drive home.
Um...
Uh, tell me
about your day.
Oh, my day, my day,
my day...
What'd I do today?
Well, I...
lay in bed for a while.
This new medicine
makes me feel like shit.
Can't wait to get this
damn operation over with.
Then I did laundry
and thought about you.
And then I took a bath, so,
I could really think about you.
Then I decided
the next time you take
a long transport contract
with the Peace Corps,
I'm coming with you.
- Shit!
- What happened?
Oh, I popped a button.
Too many burritos.
Uh, no, they don't have burritos
here. It's just...
It's plates of rice and beans
and the occasional tough flank.
Ugh, sounds like the makings
of a disgusting burrito to me.
SEAN: [ON PHONE] No, I guess they do.
Yeah, they have burritos here.
But they're... theyre different.
Everything is a little bit
off here, you know?
Like some bizarro
Corpus Christi.
JEN: [ON PHONE]
It's so beautiful this time.
Those thin clouds are out, so...
it's all blue,
with orange streaks.
- Mm-hmm.
- You didn't see it, did you?
What?
We watched the sunset together.
I... I...
I know it's stupid, but...
they sent you to the same
time zone this time,
and we don't always get
this lucky.
It helps.
Sean?
Are you even listening?
[AIRPLANE ENGINE DRONES]
[AIRPLANE ENGINE REVVING]
Worst.
What? Jesus Christ!
[PHONE RINGING]
Ah, fuck!
- BLOOM: Hi, buddy.
- Hi, Bloom.
- Pretty cool, huh?
- What are you doing?
It's a drone.
Yeah, I can see that.
[CHUCKLES]
I love it.
It's got a feed that streams
straight to my phone,
so I can watch it
on the shitter, if I want to.
Man, I thought this relationship
was built on trust.
No, truth is,
this relationship is
built on paranoia and fear.
But you'll be happy
to know that I now
trust that you'll do
the right thing here.
Is that clear?
Are we good?
I can't talk right now.
Hi, honey.
MAN: [ON PHONE] Hi. I'm sorry.
This is Statewide Health.
- Excuse me?
- Yes, we handle
all insurance claims
through your
Peace Corps program.
I was wondering if I could have
a minute of your time.
Uh, look, I'm really sorry.
I don't mean to be
a dick right now,
but no, you can't.
Um, and it's the middle
of the night.
Yes, I apologize, sir,
but there's an issue
- with your wife.
- What?
The claim you filed
for your wife.
Oh, right. No. Well, no.
You know, yeah,
call back another time.
Oh, no. Hey, wait.
Are you there?
- Sir?
- Uh, what's... whats the issue?
Uh, the estimate for some
of these procedures
are being contested.
Yeah, I know,
and then you guys denied her
after you spoke
with the goddamn medical folks.
Mm-hmm, I understand
she needs a procedure
for ovarian cancer.
Is that correct?
Yes.
I have sympathy
for these difficult times.
But coverage
for a Peace Corps contract
isn't that extensive.
Who was your previous insurer?
It was
the United States Air Force.
Okay. That helps.
Yes, well, I'm sorry to be
the one to tell you...
Sorry, you have
to call me back, okay?
- Sir...
- [LINE CUTS]
I should go.
SEAN: Come on, Sean.
It's not hard.
[PHONE RINGING]
Uh, hey.
JEN: I have to ask
you something.
Okay.
When are you getting home?
Uh, I don't know. Soon.
Are you gonna be hungry?
Uh... I don't know.
Is that what you wanted
to ask me?
Megan's gone.
Okay, good.
Then, um, yeah,
you can get some sleep.
[PLANE CLATTERING]
SEAN: [ON PHONE] Jen, please,
can you just, like,
have another glass
of pinot and pass out?
It's not pinot, it's...
sauvignon blanc, Sean.
Whatever it is, kill it.
I'll see you when I get home.
Why were you in Mexico?
What do you mean? I was...
I was building a school
- for the Peace Corps.
- Don't do this, Sean!
Please stop thinking
that I'm a fucking idiot.
Jesus.
JEN: [ON PHONE] I'm sick,
and we don't have any money.
So why do you keep saying
that everything will be okay?
SEAN: I have a deal worked out
with the Peace Corps,
with the doctors.
You're not working out a deal
as a Peace Corps
contractor, Sean.
They haven't sent you
anywhere in months.
What the fuck are you
doing in Mexico?
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on.
Thats... that's not fair.
I called Dave, Sean.
Wait, wait, you called
the Peace Corps Dave?
- How did you get his number?
- Yes, Peace Corps Dave.
They didn't send you
anywhere this week.
It sure as hell wasn't
the Air Force.
Jen, we should not be talking
about this right now, okay?
Oh, no, well, I'll be able
to change the damn locks
- before you get home.
- Jen, don't...
Jen!
Come on! Jesus Christ!
Shoot.
SEAN: Let's see
how good you are.
Come on, come on!
Come on!
[PLANE ENGINE REVVING]
Yep.
Come on. Come on.
Yes!
[CHUCKLES]
Yep.
You're fine.
Just do your job.
Just do your job, Sean.
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

[MEXICAN MUSIC PLAYING

Um... Hey, can you roll down

Or turn on the air,

Honey, they, um...

[SOFT WHISTLE]
Passport.
- What?
- My man, my man, come on...
No. Uh, no.
We don't do that.
That's never been
part of the deal.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
[BACKGROUND CHATTER
IN SPANISH]
When you came into Mexico,
they stamped you in
at the airport, no?
- Yes.
- And when you leave,
we stamp you out.
MAN: Satellite phone, GPS.
You leave everything
when you land.
SEAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know. I know.
You have enough fuel
to make it to the drop.
- How much fuel?
- Enough.
But you need to leave now.
You're fighting
against the morning
at this point.
- Uh, what the hell's that?
- That is your cargo.
Well, that's...
Its supposed to be 25 kilos.
It has to be double that.
It is what it is.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[PHONE RINGING]
Jen, I'm sorry, okay?
I don't have time
for this right now.
Please just go to sleep.
JEN: I don't have time
for this either.
If something happened to you
doing whatever it is
youre doing,
where would that leave me?
Just please try not to think
about that right now, okay?
Just believe me.
I know... I know what I'm doing.
[JEN SIGHS] Oh, shit.
- What?
- That car is back.
- What car?
- Some car keeps...
coming to the driveway,
turning around.
Must be lost. I don't know.
- [GLASS SHATTERS]
- What was that?
- Jen!
- Broke a wine glass.
- Okay, Jen, lock the doors.
- I just got these!
[LINE CUTS]
Shoot!
[PHONE DIALING]
[LINE RINGING]
- BLOOM: Sean.
- Hey,
did you send someone
to my house?
Jen says there's someone
in my driveway.
What? No. Why would I?
If I find out that you send
your boys around there, I...
- You said she was out of t...

- Jen!
- WOMAN: [ON PHONE] This is Karen

- Oh, Jesus! What the f...
- Sir?
- You guys just called me, okay?
Its not a good time.
Uh, we must've had
our logs crossed.
Yeah, just call
the Air Force insurance office.
They will tell you
Sean Haggerty was
dishonorably discharged, and all
benefits were revoked, got that?
Okay, Mr. Haggerty,
we'll get right on that.
Thank you.
What the fuck?
[THUNDER ROARING]

[PHONE RINGING]
Yep.
MALLORY: [ON PHONE]
Is this Sean Haggerty?
Uh, this is, yeah.
Sean, I'm calling
on behalf of your employer.
Is there a problem?
What employer?
Do you have more than one?
Uh, nope. No, no.
I read you.
Is there a problem?
No. No problem.
That's good.
Yeah, everything's on schedule.
That's good news.
I'm going to be frank.
Theres suspicions.
What do you... What do you mean,
suspicions? No.
I'm doing everything you want.
The package is on time.
Nevertheless,
our employer has suspicions.
No one in particular, but still,
you should be aware.
You can trust me.
Of course you can trust me.
- Um, what's your name, sir?
- Mallory.
Mr. Mallory, I guarantee you
that nothing is wrong.
Everything is going off
according to the plan.
Guarantees mean
a great deal to me.
I told our employer
that I guarantee
every package they have
crossing the border today
will arrive safely.
You don't have to worry
about me.
I know I don't.
Is... is there
anything else, sir?
No.
I just wanted
to introduce myself.
I'll be in touch.
[LINE CUTS]
Shit. Shit.
[GASPS]
Okay.
[PHONE DIALING]

- Shit.
- Come on, come on, come on.

Hey, this is Jen.
Leave a message.
Uh, hey, Jen. Uh, it's me.
Um, I... I... I hope
you're sleeping,
but still, if you get this,
can you just call me back?
Okay. Thanks.
MAN: Spread 'em.
That's... That's my payment?
You're not packing, John Rambo?
SEAN: Uh, no.
I'm not packing.
MAN: Why not?
And we normally, we...
we just call him Rambo.
Rambo.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Drugs, a laptop, anything else
you want me to carry?
[PHONE DIALING]
[LINE RINGING]
JEN: [ON PHONE] Hey,
this is Jen. Leave a message.
Uh, Jen, I... I... Look...
Uh, it's me again.
I'm... I'm...
If you get this, I know, I...
If you get this
and you don't want to talk,
I... I... I get it, I understand.
But, please can you just
text me or something?
Okay. Uh, I love you.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Jen?
- BLOOM: Sean, buddy,
I'm getting tired of this.
- Just tell the coordinates, now.
- I don't have them.
You give me that laptop,
Jen gets her surgery.
Thats the deal.
Don't forget it.
Yeah, believe me,
I haven't, okay?
I know you're not doing this
cause we're old pals.
I can get you what you want.
Just give me a few seconds
- to myself, please.
- Where is the drop?
Tell me now or I'm going
to lose my shit!
What does it even matter?
I thought you had a crack team
of Nevada Top Guns tracking me.
Hey, boys!
If you want us to protect you,
we need to know where
you're going to be.
I don't want a camera
circling your corpse
from 300 feet above.
- Haggerty?
- Shit. Shit!
- Hey, what's going on up there?
- Shoot!
- [PHONE RINGING]
- Sean I have a team standing by.
- Okay? You just...
- Yeah, I got to go.
[PHONE RINGING]
Okay, well, what is this, now?
JEN: Hello?
Jen?
MALLORY: Do you love your wife?
Mallory.
I will ask again...
Okay, listen to me, asshole.
I'm not gonna fucking sit up...
Do you love your wife?
Yes, I do.
Say it louder.
I... I love my wife.
MALLORY: Now, I need you
to understand that
this has absolutely nothing
to do with you.
I was called into service
because a problem was
discovered at the airfield.
SEAN: [ON PHONE]
Uh, what... what problem?
Again, nothing to do with you.
- SEAN: Oh, God... What...
- But to be safe,
extra measures needed
to be put in place
- in order to ensure that...
- SEAN: Extra measures?
...the plan is carried out
to its conclusion.
- So are we clear?
- SEAN: [STAMMERING]
- You do understand?
- Th... This is a mistake!
You don't have to do this.
We're not gonna be...
Okay.
I'm gonna explain
how all this is gonna play out.
The new coordinates
have been uploaded
to your craft.
Will you confirm?
- Yes.
- You will land there.
MALLORY: I'll be waiting
to collect the cargo
and the craft.
Your wife will be with me.
Well, how... how can I trust you?
Because you must.
- She has a condition.
- Yes, we know. We know.
She has pills that she has
to take in the morning.
MALLORY: [ON PHONE]
Once we determine
that the cargo and the craft
are unmolested,
you and Jen will be set free,
and there'll be
plenty of time to take
all the pills she needs.
Now, would you like to speak
with your wife, Sean?
JEN: [ON PHONE] Hello?
SEAN: [ON PHONE]
Jen, where are you?
[SEAN BREATHES HEAVILY]
I don't know. I'm in a car.
I was in the kitchen,
and the next thing I knew,
they dragged me out,
and I'm here in a car. I dont...
Listen, we... we have a way out.
I'm coming for you right now.
What did you do?
I... I... it doesn't matter
right now, okay,
but I... I'm sorry.
And I'm gonna...
I'm coming to get you.
JEN: I don't. I don't.
Wait, but...
JEN: I don't know what
to do right now.
I'm sorry.
MALLORY:
Everything is going perfectly.
I've been in this position
many times before. I know.
You're doing great.
There's an exercise I'd like to
leave with you when I hang up.
You should make a list
of all the things
that you love about your wife.
But, more importantly,
you should make a list
of all the things you'll miss
if she were to be suddenly
taken away from you.
You are a sick fuck.
MALLORY: I say these things just
for your own good, Sean,
and for Jen.

- You have to shut it down, okay?
The operation,
whatever you're calling it.
Just not... not this time.
Signed the paperwork
this morning, buddy.
Got your new name,
background, right here.
You and Jen.
Don't try to change things,
Sean. You're an asset.
I'm a fucking pilot, okay?
I flew night sorties and I... I...
Nobody cares.
The Navy, FAA's not gonna
let you anywhere
near a pilot's license.
You're a drug mule, Sean,
a beast of burden
on borrowed time.
Don't think for a second
you're anything more.
SEAN: [ON PHONE] They have Jen.
- Who does?
- They took her.
- They took her?
- Yes, they took her.
What the fuck are you
trying to pull?
Yeah, they were
at my house, okay?
They took her.
That's all that matters.
- Who has her?
- I don't know.
Some guy named,
uh, Mallory.
He's... hes taking her
to the drop point.
I'm landing there.
So the plans have changed.
Do they know about me?
Do they know about
what we're doing?
I don't know.
I don't think so, okay?
The guy said it has
nothing to do with me.
I... I don't know why,
but, I believe him.
Hm. You trust him?
I don't... I don't...
I'm not saying I trust him.
I'm saying I believe
what he says.
BLOOM: [ON PHONE]
Okay, Sean. I can help you.
No, you can help me
by staying out of this, okay?
You need to stay out of this.
When did you get permission
to give me fucking orders, huh?
You will fly, you will land,
and you will stall
until we can secure you,
your... fucking wife,
this Mallory, and anybody
he has with him.
And only when I deem you worthy
of being released
from my custody
will you be allowed to start
your new, pathetic life
in whatever town,
backwater America.
You will get me
that laptop, Sean.
It cannot fall
into the wrong hands.
[DRONE REVVING]
Sorry, Bloom.

- Uh, this is Sean.
- MALLORY: Are you on schedule?
Uh, yeah, I'm set to land
in 30 minutes.
MALLORY: When you land,
you will exit the aircraft.
Perfect. I'll see you there.
MALLORY: Once the package
has been secured,
your wife will be released.
And when you land, exit
and step away from the aircraft.
Slowly.
I would not want to have to fire
on you.
No. No, don't do that.
No one would want that.
Is... Is... uh...
Is that everything?
MALLORY: Just to be clear,
land and exit the craft
- with your hands high.
- Is... is... is Jen with you?
MALLORY: Now, is that all
perfectly clear?
Yes, perfectly fucking clear!
Is my wife with you?
MALLORY: Of course.
Is she safe?
MALLORY: If you don't trust me
at this point, I'm afraid
we won't be able
to continue business.
Yep.

BLOOM: That was really
fucking stupid, Haggerty.
I have everything under control.
BLOOM: I don't want you to have
everything under control.
- That's my job.
- Jesus, stop thinking
about your job
for one second of your life.
BLOOM: Thinking
about my career is exactly
why you're not in fucking prison
right now!
What did I say when
we started down this path?
- SEAN: I don't know.
- BLOOM: I said
you have to tell us where
your wife is at all times
during this operation,
for her own safety.
[PHONE RINGING]
[PHONE RINGING]
[PHONE BEEPS]
MALLORY: Tell me what you love
about your wife.
SEAN: God, why do you
need this from me?
Why... why...
why are you doing this?
MALLORY: What would you miss
most if she was gone?
I... I can't think of anything
right now!
BLOOM: What was she doing
at home?
You said she was going
to Arkansas to visit her family.
She's under enough stress.
I didn't need
your trigger-finger cadets
breathing down her neck when
she's not even involved in this.
This part of my life
is over, okay? You said so.
BLOOM: Jesus.
She doesn't know about
any of this, does she?
She knows that
I love her, I hope.
BLOOM: She doesn't know
she has to close her life down
in the morning and start
a new one.
Well, don't worry too much.
She'll probably leave you
when she finds out.
[PHONE BEEPS]
JEN: [ON VOICEMAIL] Hey,
my love, just reminding you
when you go to the grocery store
to please pick me up some milk.
MALLORY: Sean, listen to me.
JEN: ...one percent, not two.
I can't deal with that stuff
you drink. It's like...
- MALLORY: Sean.
- SEAN: No, I just... I...
I mean, I would miss her.
I would miss
everything about her. But I...
I can't think
of anything specific.
I know that's shit.
I... I can't.
JEN: Don't do this, Sean! Don't!
I'm a shitty husband. God!
JEN: [ON VOICEMAIL] Hey,
my love, just reminding you
when you go to the grocery store
to please pick me up some milk.
Don't do this!
Stop lying to me, please!
- [PHONE RINGING]
- [PHONE BEEPS]
BLOOM: We got a video.
The director got a video.
I am so fucked.
So?
BLOOM: There was a man
at the airstrip,
a Mexican federales
who was working for the cartel.
He was about to start
working for us.
He's the reason
you had that laptop.
Octavio Hernandez.
Cartel found out
he was playing both sides.
Poured jet fuel down his throat.
Threw a match on him.
What? I...
[PHONE RINGING]
This is not my fault.
[PHONE RINGING]
MALLORY: Now, you listen to me.
Can I... Can I... Can I talk
to her? Please!
She don't wanna speak
to you right now, Sean.
BLOOM: She's only
going to be safe once she's
in a federal protection program.
Hold the line.
JEN: [ON VOICEMAIL]
Oh, and eggs.
And if you have time,
uh, I guess I'm just asking you
- to make me some breakfast.
- [CHUCKLES]
Will you please make me
breakfast when you get home?
BLOOM: Mexico just cleared
five simultaneous air strikes
within their borders.
That doesn't happen
if we don't get
what's on that laptop.
Air strike?
What are you talking...
This is why they have Jen, okay?
This operation,
this whole thing, it's too big.
I would never have agreed
to this if I knew.
Okay, can you just tell her
what I meant when I said
I was done flying?
What I...
I meant that I'm done.
I meant that I love her
and I am done
hiding from her and us
and I am sorry and I love her.
Please, please
tell her that, okay?
Just... you don't have to do
anything else.
Please tell her that.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- JEN: [ON PHONE] I love you.
- No.
No.
Okay, fuck.
BLOOM: You're only
a couple miles from the border,
aren't you?
Yeah, so, yeah, maybe, whatever.
I mean, it's a big border,
Bloom.
BLOOM: Yeah. You're right.
I don't know exactly
where you are,
but I do know you're well
within range
of a U.S.
Border Patrol heliport.
And that department owes me
a couple of favors.
What? What?
What?
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Don't do this, Bloom.
BLOOM: I didn't do this.
You did.
Do not do this, Bloom.
Oh, shit!
Bloom?
Bloom! Shit!
Goddamn it!
Fuck!
Come on!
No, no, no, no, no,

BLOOM: What are you
talking about?
SEAN: They're shooting at me!
BLOOM: What? I told them no.
Hang on.
- Hello, this is Bloom.
- Yeah, I know
who the shit you are!
BLOOM: Shut the fuck up, Sean.
I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to border patrol.
SEAN: They're coming around.
Coming around again.
Jesus, say it!
We are on the same side! Say it!
BLOOM: They're patching me
through. Just hang on, Sean.
Hello, yes? Yes, am I talking
directly to the pilot?
Oh, no, God!
This is not happening right now!
BLOOM: Okay, well tell your men
to stand down, I said
- I need that plane in one piece.
- Shit!
- Listen to him!
- [PHONE RINGING]
BLOOM: I said stand down!
- No deadly force.
- [PHONE RINGING]
Shit! Come on, Bloom,

deadly force!

There are no vital signs.

There is something else,
an irregularity.
I... [SOBBING] I was...
DOCTOR: We need to keep you
here for additional tests.
What? Why?
[SOBBING]
What did I do wrong?
SEAN: Its not gonna...
- Its not your fault.
- [JEN SOBBING]

- [SNIFFS]
- [JEN SOBBING]
- SEAN: We did nothing wrong.
- JEN: I don't understand!
- SEAN: No, no, no.
- This is not us. It's not us.
- JEN: How do you know?
SEAN: It's just a fucking,
terrible thing...
- that happened.

to happen to us! [SOBS]

just reminding you

to please pick me up some milk.
I forgot it again. [CHUCKLES]
One percent, not two.
I can't deal with that stuff
you drink.
It's, like, practically butter.
Oh, and eggs.
And if you have time,
uh, I guess I'm just asking you
to make me some breakfast.
- [JEN CHUCKLES]

[PHONE RINGING]
[PHONE BEEPS]
- MALLORY: Sean.
- [THUD]
You have made
an unscheduled stop.
Why?
Uh, my fuel line was, um...
MALLORY: What happened
to the fuel line?
Uh... it broke.
MALLORY: The people above me
will insist
on a very thorough report.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Well, uh, tell them...
tell them that
the fuel line was cracked,
and since I had to leave
without a pre-flight check,
I didn't have time to catch it.
MALLORY: Is that what happened,
or are you just
having me repeat a lie?
You make reports
on all your kidnappings?
MALLORY:
Our employers are very thorough,
Mr. Haggerty.
Yes. That is what happened.
And Mr. Mallory,
my wife can never remember
the fucking milk.
She always forgets it
cause it made her sick
when she was younger,
so they never had it
in the house.
But ever since we got married,
she finds out that she loves it.
Only the one-percent,
though. She's...
She's very specific about that.
She needs me to get that for her
tomorrow morning.
MALLORY: We'll be arriving
in 13 minutes.
If you're not there
in 20 minutes, Jen dies.
What? No. No, no, no.
No, no, I'll be there.
MALLORY: I must report
in 20 minutes.
If our employer doesn't have
confirmation of your landing...
I will be... I will be there.
I swear. I swear to you.
Mr. Mallory, I will be there.
You don't have to worry
- about me, sir.
- MALLORY: If I have to kill Jen,
she will have to be dissolved
in acid,
because I can't guarantee
a precursor of a bullet.
Please, you don't have to do
this. We will fuck off quietly.
We will go quietly
out of your life.
Please,
you don't have to do this.
MALLORY: Don't think
for a moment
that you are the only one
with something to lose
in 20 minutes.
As I said,
our employer's thorough,
punctual,
and viciously effective.
Now, that's a fact.
Would you like to speak
with your wife again?
Tell her I'll see her soon.
- Okay.
- [DOOR THUDS]
Okay.
Extra full.
Flaps, 10 degrees.
Come on, come on.
Faster, faster, faster.
Fucking fall apart
in about 10 minutes.
Jesus, come on.
Oh!
Okay, yeah, there we go.
There we go.
Come on. Baby, come on.
All right, moving.
Clearing...
should be...
should be right below.
No. No.
- [DIAL TONE]
- [LINE RINGING]
- Son of a bitch.
- BLOOM: Where are you?
Staring down
at your fucking SUV.
Why are you doing this?
BLOOM: The director decided
you needed to be intercepted
- at all costs.
- They're going to kill her,
Bloom! What part of that
don't you understand?
- BLOOM: Yeah. Sorry.
- How did you know?
How'd you know
I was going to be here?
BLOOM: Helicopter pilots.
They intercepted your heading.
Wetlands were always
a candidate for a cartel drop.
Just needed someone to confirm.
For the love of Christ, Bloom,
tell them to stand down
for like 10 minutes, okay?
They don't see the SUV yet,
- but if they do...
- BLOOM: It's out of my hands.
Okay?
Just get to Jen as fast
as you can.
- She might have a shot.
- Asshole!
Come on just... okay, just
fucking get there, Sean.
Okay, come on,
you piece of shit.
You can outrun an SUV. Come on!
Four minutes.
Okay, come on, come on.
That's where we are.
Now, come on.
Let's hit that clearing.
That's all you got to do.
There it is.
That's it. That's it.
Right there. Okay.
Okay, we're coming in.
This is almost fucking over.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Fucking...
- [DIAL TONE]
- [LINE RINGS]
Uh, hey, Mallory, um,
I'm on my final approach.
Everything seems solid,
but I got to warn you
about something.
Uh, there seems...
there's, like, a...
a park ranger, maybe,
or I don't know,
it could be border patrol.
Somebody's coming. Um...
- Yeah, I just wanted to warn...
- JEN: Sean...
- Jen?
- JEN: Sean! [SOBS]
Okay, wait. Are you alone?
Yes, I'm alone, but...
they're right... they're right
outside the door.
- Jen, Jen, are you hurt?
- JEN: No.
I'm okay, the ties are
a little tight, but I'm fine.
- SEAN: You're sure?
- Yes.
SEAN: Jen,
you cannot stay there.
- They're gonna kill us.
- Just do what they say, Sean!
SEAN: No, that doesn't
matter anymore.
They killed Octavio.
- Who's that?
- That doesn't matter either.
At this point, we-
we are gonna have to fight.
Okay. What do I do?
SEAN: [STAMMERING]
I don't know. Uh...
SEAN: [STAMMERING]
Look in the car, there anything,
did they leave like a weapon
a gun or a knife?
[CLATTER]
Okay. Okay.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
JEN: No, they took everything.
Okay, they took everything.
They took everything.
- What do we need to do?
- JEN: Sean!
Okay, I'm thinking.
Let me think for a second.
Shh! Shh!
Stop thinking out loud.
SEAN: Okay. Sorry. Um...
[SIGHS]
SEAN: What about the keys?
Did they leave the keys?
No, they didn't leave
the fucking keys!
SEAN: Uh, a screwdriver,
I mean, literally anything, Jen.
Look around the car.
Search the glove box.
- SEAN: Can you get in there?
- Okay.

into the ignition.

It's not impossible. You
need to keep trying.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[ENGINE HUMMING]
[SOBS] Where are you, Sean?
JEN: Where are you?
Jen...

I'm going to make sure of that.
So please, please, please...
Okay. [SOBS] Okay.
Goddamn it, come on, Jen!
There he is.
- Mallory...
- Not yet.
I don't know. I mean, I just...
I don't fucking know.
Come on, there's got to be...
I don't know.
I don't fucking know.
There's gotta be something.
[PANTING]
[SOBS] Okay, I'll try.
I'll try.
[CLATTER]
Oh.
What?
What? Jen, talk to me.
- SEAN: Jen?
- I found the keys.
Shit! Really? That's fantastic.
Okay, hurry! Come on!
SEAN: Shit, start the car!
Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Flare.
Jen, just start the car.
You try starting a car
with your hands tied!
Okay, [STAMMERING] I know.
I know it's hard, but just...
you gotta focus,
you've got to do this, Jen.
