Hard Rain (1998)
Hey, halt!
Doggone it! Get this junk outta here! Unless you're prepared to drown. I'm trying to. It's stalled. Put it in neutral, slide your wheel to the left... It's a friggin' mess down here. So...are we all gonna die? Yeah, we're all gonna die. Just not yet. But I am gonna have to let out more. My worst was Sweet 16. I had mono. What about you, Wayne? What was your worst birthday? Think I could've had a birthday worse than this? What kind of loser you think I am? Don't answer that, Phil. Hank's gonna open another gate. We're gonna get another surge. Get these cars outta here. Well, hello, gentlemen. Wayne, happy birthday. Mike, I gotta tell you, what you're doing, dunno if I'd be here. You would if you wanted to earn the last two pay cheques some bastard owed you. People round here made a big mistake. You're the one that screwed him. Mr Mayor, much as I'd like to stand around talking about how great I am, you don't get moving, I'll haul your ass to jail. OK, I'm going. Keep up the good work, boys. It's appreciated. Asshole. Let's torch that son of a bitch's house and blame it on looters. Or put a dead cow in his living room. He comes back after it's been in water a couple of days... Hello! Know the best way to get revenge on the mayor and his boys? Do exactly what we're doin' - protect the town. Think you could go a little faster, pal? I'm goin' as fast...as I can. Wait! 'Scuse me? You forgot to sign. The bag. Stay dry now. - Watch your back. - For Christ's sake! Come on, Charlie, it's a flood. You're gonna get a little wet. Take it easy. Dispatch, this is 31. Go ahead, 31. We're leaving Huntingburg. Back in an hour. We're gone. Over and out. - What? - Your ear. What about my ear? Got some major hair growth goin' on. Shut up. You need somebody to get in there with a weed whacker. Here. You're giving me one of your doughnuts? I'm gettin' all misty. If you shut your mouth, you can have the bag. I start eating these, I'll never get out of this truck. You think you're better than all this. What's not to like, Charlie? The...dashing polyester outfit or the solid, three-figure income? You ungrateful little shit. Relax, I'm just kidding. That's all you think I've done? Just wasted my life away. I didn't say that. Yeah, yeah. Building a home, raising a family... - That's just stupid. - I didn't say that either. Tom, I don't give a rat's ass what you say. He just went under... "Thus sayeth the Lord: "'Behold, the waters shall rise up out the north "'and be an overflowing flood. "'And all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.'" Yes, sir. Jeremiah, chapter 47, verse 2. You're gonna be able to afford a lot of Bibles, Ray. Me? First thing I'm gonna do is get my brother a lawyer - the best that money can buy. - What's he facin'? - 30 in. He must've capped a cop or somethin'. No. Security guard. In the commission. He's got some piece of shit PD... - I'm... - Kenny. Kenny, take a look at 26 across. Shit, Jim, I don't do crossword puzzles. Just look at it. - Let me take a look at it. - Mr Mehlor, Kenny can read. Mention money again and I'll... Did I get it right? Yeah, Jim, you got it right. What a dope. - Jerk. - Jackass. Give us a kiss, huh? - Get outta here! - Come on! You... You really are a touchy old fart, you know that? I'm sorry. What was that about? All of a sudden you go postal on me. I dunno. It's just this weather. I just wanna get back. I do appreciate what you've done for me. This is a good job. No, it's not. It stinks. Putting your ass on the line for somebody else's money! Where the hell's the road? It's there. Somewhere. Tom, I don't care what you end up doing. Jesus, here we go. But whatever you do, it's time you did some heavy lifting. - Stop. - You gotta hear this. Stop the truck! We're going downhill! All right, back up. Slow, slow. God damn it! There's a little dip in the road up there. I knew this would happen. I'll see if there's anybody around to give us a lift. Dispatch... Dispatch, this is 31. We're stuck outside of Huntingburg. Right by a sign... ..saying... "Welcome to Huntingburg." Town's been evacuated. We won't get any help from there. Dispatch can't get anyone out. They are aware we're carrying a shitload of money? They called the National Guard. They'll be here in a couple of hours. Couple of hours? Shit. I saw ya. Come on out. Henry! I'm not leaving till you come out. He's not coming out. Henry, close the door. Don't go out there, Henry! Why are you two still here? Need some help? No, we're just... - We're setting traps. - That's illegal, Doreen. You gonna arrest us, Sheriff? Hell, are you even sheriff any more, Sheriff? Didn't you lose an election? I sure as hell didn't vote for you. - Neither did Henry. - Doreen! Look, you don't need to set traps. That's what they said in '73. Time we got back, what the bastards didn't steal, they broke for the hell of it. That's not happening this time. Damn right it's not! Look, you can't stay. - We're goin' to my sister's. - Good. Soon as we've finished setting the traps. I'm glad one of us has a backbone. God'll understand if you have to drown her in the basement, Henry. We gotta get outta here. What about the money? The money's safe, we're not. Water rose a foot in the last 20 minutes. National Guard won't be any time soon. Hello! You all right? Are you stuck? Yeah! OK! We're gonna try and help you out. Looks like we're gonna get outta here. Why'd they do that? Probably just to see us better. So we can't see at all. Listen up. This is my retirement fund. Don't screw it up! You hear me, Kenny? - Get your head outta your ass. - Yup. Company Dispatch and the National Guard are the only ones know we're here. Anyone with a scanner could've picked up our signal. Could you turn down those lights? We're gonna bring you some rope! We're going blind. Turn down those lights. We're coming right over! Turn down your lights! Hey, Tom, take it easy. Jim? Jim? - Get in the truck, Charlie. - Tom! - Kenny, what are you doin'? - Oh, shit! - What did I tell you? - He went for his gun! Stop shooting! Stop shooting! Stop shooting! God damn it, Kenny! God damn it! Everybody all right down there? Oh, God! Damn! Look...we just want the money. You guys...you guys walk away. We won't kill ya. OK? How's that? You got 30 seconds. Walk away. Come on, guys, the clock is ticking. What's it gonna be? Shit! Son of a bitch! Ray... Your father would be proud, Kenny. - He went for his gun! - Shut up. Mr Mehlor... I think we're gonna need your science project. You teach your students to make things like that? Been in a high school recently? My students taught me. C'mon. I'll be damned! Damn! Why would he do that? He's tryin' to stay alive. What? Figures if he knows where the money is and we don't, we won't kill him. Or he could be thinking about keeping that money for himself. That is a possibility. Either way, we're dealing with a slippery one. What we gonna do now? This water will soon be too deep for him to run in. But it'll be just deep enough for us. We should take a car too, huh? Hey, Jim, what about this big bad boy here? - It's got a big canopy. - This is all we need. We stealin', Jim. Can't we just take anything we want? Water's not very deep yet. We need something with shallow draft. Mr Mehlor, find us some gas. There he is! Jim, over here! The window. The window's broken. Let's get in there and get him out. But whatever you do, don't shoot him! Not till we find out where that money is. Did you see that? Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Come back here! - Ramming speed! - Watch your step. Low tide, sailor. You see him? What the...? He's over here! He's over this way! Damn! Shit! Nice driving, butt-wipe! That's what you get for taking my jacket! Get off! Glad you're enjoying yourself but if he's dead, how do we find the money? I wouldn't worry. He's still alive. I'm gonna need a little inspiration, son. "With the raging flood, "He makes an end of those who oppose Him "and He pursues His enemies into darkness." That's from one of the more obscure... I don't mean to interrupt Bible study but has anybody realised how screwed we are? We should be back in the motel room counting our money... Nobody likes this particular turn of events. But we have a choice. We can deal with it or walk away. There's a lot of money out there so I choose to deal with it. You wanna go? Fine, start swimming. You wanna stay, that's fine too. But stop your goddamn whining! Loser! What are you still doing here? Setting the pumps. Don't get what you see in that church. Wouldn't expect you to. What's that mean? Karen, did you think the order was for everyone but you to evacuate? No. I was gonna go as soon as I filled the pumps, but then I got a looter on my hands. Maybe I'm crazy but I was expecting a little... I don't know...gratitude? I think it's great, what you did. That'll finally get you into her pants. - That's not what I meant. - Shut up. All right! What if he'd had a gun, Karen? A lot of looters carry guns. I'm not a looter. Jim, it could be anywhere. - Might not even be here. - Keep looking. You're wasting ammo. Use this. Kenny! If you're not dead, get up and help. God damn it! What were you doing at the church? Looting it. I just said I'm not a looter. You're the one who nailed me, aren't you? What the hell d'you hit me with? A crucifix. It was all that was there. I'm gonna have people from around the world coming to see Jesus on my forehead. What were you doing in the church? Looking for a place to hide. From what? Swamp Thing? From the guys who killed my partner. I work for Armoured Transport. Whoever it was picked up our call to Dispatch, 'cause they knew exactly where we were. Then all hell broke loose. - How much money did you have? - A little over three million. Bank had us cleaning out branches up and down the river. They stole three million dollars? No, I don't think so. You took the money, didn't you? Yeah, I hid it in the cemetery. Tied it to a crypt for some guy named Portman. What the hell for? I don't like to carry that much cash. Wayne, use your head for something besides wearing your hat. If he hadn't hid the money, they'd have killed him, too. Get out two shotguns and a rifle. - You got any ID? - No. I left it in the truck. Colour me surprised. D'you believe him? Yes, Wayne, I do. And even if I didn't, we sure as hell have to check it out, don't you think? I'll show you where it is. I think you better stay put. That was a smart move... We don't need no armoured car guy helping us. What's the worst thing that's happened to you on this job? When old Mrs Dugan went after you with a paint scraper? This man just got shot at. Phil, Wayne and I'll check out the cemetery. Escort Slugger here out of town. Get her to some high ground, come on back. Yes, sir. I really have to fill those pumps. Not any more you don't. He could still be lying. Sheriff, they killed my partner without any warning. And they'll regret that. Phil, you take Karen in her boat. You got it, Sheriff. Phil, the men of Huntingburg are counting on ya! Bite me, Wayne. Perfect! Phil, I don't know if you noticed those stained glass windows, but do you know how much work - I've put into them? - I know. It'll take me five minutes to fill those pumps. You know I'd do anything for you, but the sheriff told me to take you outta town. I'm sorry, it's for your own good. What are you doing? If you won't take me, I have to swim. Nobody's swimming. Karen, sit down! Wait a minute. This is my boat. You swim! God...damn it! Come on! Motherfuck! Oh, shit! Sheriff, come in. There's a lot of water coming your way! Oh, God! Look out! Help! Jesus! Hang on, Ray. Get that jet-ski! Come on! Come on! Come on...come on. Oh, yeah. Perfect. I can drive outta here. Wayne...you locked him in. Come here! - Are you OK? - Never better. Thank you. You're welcome. What happened? I don't know. Another levee must have broken. Great. Let's get outta here. It's them. Let's go! Go that way! All right! Come on! I'm gonna get your little punk ass! Where are you? Tell them where the money is! - I can't. - Well, I can! Listen to me. If they know where it is, they'll kill us. Down! So what do we do now? I guess we just drive around till we run outta gas. I spent eight months restoring that church and I left it to save your ass. So spare me, OK? All right. We'll just go down here a little further and find a place for you to lay low. I'll go back to the truck and wait for the National Guard. They should be there pretty soon. - You all right? - I'm fine. I think the heater just kicked in. At least we're out of the rain, right? Yeah, this is real cosy. Is he dead? Is he dead? No. Somebody must've gotten him out. Who? I dunno. Maybe Karen. How the hell could she have gotten him out? You took her outta town. Well, yeah, I... Let's hear it, Phil. Well, it happened real fast. Have you ever been robbed before? No. I've only been doing this a couple of months. Yeah, I used to... sell construction machinery. I was doin' all right. It just, uh... didn't really seem right any more. How'd you end up doing this? My Uncle Charlie did me a favour and got me in. Nice favour! So what's he gonna say after tonight? He was my partner in the truck. Oh...sorry. Does she know karate or something, Phil? Maybe kung fu. I just can't see how else she could overpower the likes of you. - Shut up, Wayne. - Shut up, both of you. Let's go find Karen, see if she's got him. I wonder whose car this is. I wonder whose car this is. Whoever it is, they like Pat Benatar, Eddie Money and... The soundtrack to "Footloose". Really? Oh, my God. This is my car from high school. Maybe we should get outta here, huh? Get your feet out of the water. Oh, shit. This thing's metal. Oh, God. Let's get off! - I got him! - No! - I got him! - We gotta get... Get out of the water! Come on, get out. Get out of the water! - The transformer's gonna blow! - Hurry! It's gonna blow up! Come on! Hurry up. Come on, over here. No, no, no. Over here! Get off that thing, it's metal! Give me your hand. - Do it! - Give me your hand! Jim, down here. What the hell is goin' on? Careful... Watch your step. You so much as breathe funny and your head goes out that window without ya. Hold on. Jesus Christ. Come on, Kenny. Jesus Christ! Put your hands up real slow, like you were in a big jar of molasses. - That's it. - Doreen... Haven't killed anybody, have you? I've got everything under control. Go back to sleep. Listen, ma'am... You've caught a whole gang! Smells like somethin' died in there. Well? They're not there. Where in hell could they go? They don't have a boat. I don't know and frankly, I don't care. It hurts. You're gonna be all right, Kenny. Mr Mehlor knows about these things and he thinks you're gonna be all right. Ain't that right, Mr Mehlor? Don't you think Kenny's gonna be all right? Yeah. Kenny, you're gonna be just fine. I know that you... you didn't want me to come, Jim. What are you talking about? We couldn't have done a thing without ya. The pain... is goin' away. The pain is goin' away. I'm OK. See? What did I tell ya? When you said... I was gonna be all right, I thought... you were shittin' me. I wouldn't shit you, kid. I wouldn't shit you. See, you...you just gotta... You just...gotta... ..trust me. Isn't that just wonderful? Now those bastards will want to kill us too. Why did you pick this house? We thought it was empty. Know what? The house next door is empty. What d'you say we go back downstairs and you two keep moving? We're not gonna send these people out to the wolves! We're not, are we? What's your plan, General Schwarzkopf? I just don't think... I have to get outta here anyway. National Guard's gonna be at the truck soon. - He can use our boat. - Henry! He can't swim that far. They are not taking our boat. Fine, then. Why don't you just... - give them the TV set too? - Karen. And what about the china? - I'm Tom. - Watch yourself, Tom. I don't wanna have to save your life again. Henry! Don't you ignore me! You get right back up here this minute! Here you go. You give away our only boat in the middle of a flood. You are a genius, Henry. A regular Einstein! You wanna come with me? What are you waiting for? A kiss goodbye? Get in here! Do you know... Thanks, man. ..what that rain is doing to my curtains? - Put that window down! - All right. Why don't we just get him now? Nah. If our resourceful young friend hears us coming, he'll electrocute us or sink us. Or one of you knot-heads will shoot him. Besides, I know where he's going. I'd like to know where he came from. I know it's your job to protect that money, son. Before you try anything tricky, there's something I want you to see. - Shit. - You may be foolish enough to give your life to protect that money. Question is, are you willing to give theirs? All right, I'll show you where the money is but you gotta let them go. Nah. It's better if we all stick together. That's the deal. You say all you want's the money. Let 'em go. We could be safe in our home instead of out here in this boat with these low-life scumbags! Let 'em go. Thank you. Thank you. - This way, please. - Out of the water. Watch your step. How about Karen? In the attic. They never saw her. Faster, Henry! The bastards might change their minds! Come on! Stop lily-dipping. Move it! What are you doing? I'm going to row back there and see if he will shoot you. Or me. It's fine either way. Do you want me to get us outta here? Of course. Then shut the fuck up! Sheriff, there she is! What the hell is goin' on? This happened in a flood in Georgia. Ground gets soggy, the caskets are airtight. Anybody who hasn't been planted too long kinda pops up. You teach your students stuff like that, no wonder they kicked you out. All right, where is it? Hard to tell with the water so deep. All right. It's over that way. They're not coming, son. The National Guard. They're not coming. I dunno what you're talking about. You're trying to stall us, waiting for the National Guard, but they're not coming. What'd you do? Intercept Charlie's call? Call them off? Didn't have to call them off. They never were coming. We didn't intercept Charlie's call. - Charlie called us. - ..What? Sheriff, I'd love to help you but I can't leave. Water comes over the top again, it's bye-bye dam, bye-bye town. I could use a little help here myself. Remember when Jack Finch was in Mike Crane's barn and said he was gonna burn it down? I got the son of a bitch to come out. Before you went in, I deputised you, you son of a bitch, so when I tell you to get down here, it's not a request, it's an order. I won't need you for long. Yes, sir. Bring your gun. We were gonna hit you just before you got to the Interstate. You got stuck, we had to change our plans. This is bullshit! - Bullshit! - I knew Charlie from when we both worked construction for the Johnstown Company. His middle name was McCarthy 'cause his parents liked the Charlie McCarthy radio show. His wife, Mary, died a year ago of a heart attack. He had a son and a daughter... Son of a bitch! That was the plan? Kill Charlie and keep his share of the money? That was an accident. Kenny killed Charlie 'cause he didn't know Charlie was on my side. I never told him. Kenny liked to talk. Shouldn't even have been there, but his father asked me to look after him. I didn't do too good a job. Excuse me, Jim. I hate to interrupt, but can we just find the money and get the hell outta here? Right. All right, now listen. I'm gonna ask you one more time. Before you start bullshitting me again, think of this. I've had a very frustrating night. And while I may not find the money if I kill you, I'm at the point now where I just don't care. All right, I'll tell you where it is but I don't think it's gonna do you much good. Go on, get it. "At night, we'd go down to the river "and into the river we'd dive." That's Springsteen, man. "The River." I'm all out of Bible quotes. Looks like somebody beat you to it. What? Son of a bitch! Stop! You'll hit Tom! Hold your fire! Hold your fire! I know you'd like nothing better than to shoot me, but you're gonna have to shoot through young Tom here. That's who you thought was coming to rescue you?! Watch your head! Somebody mind telling me what the hell's goin' on around here? Why, hello, Hank. Know that money I told you about from the armoured truck? Well...we're gonna keep it. Three million dollars, four ways. Seven-fifty apiece. You OK with that? Hank? Are you OK with that? Damn straight I'm OK with that! Don't see what we need HIM for. Guess you ain't never been huntin' with Hank. OK, we got two behind that crypt. Go get 'em! Maybe I'm not OK with it. - Come on, Phil. - You're gonna kill people? They're looters, Phil. They stole from an armoured truck in our town. What about Tom? What about Karen? They're not looters. No... They're witnesses. Shit! Look at it. Some of these bags are gonna be yours, Phil. But you're the sheriff! Here. For 20 years, you've been... For 20 years, I've been eating shit! Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well, tonight, I'm changing the menu. From now on, everything I eat is gonna be shit-free. Can I make it any clearer, Phil? You want me to draw you a picture? I can't let you do it. Oh, for... OK, Phil, here's how it's gonna go. I'm gonna hear one of two things outta you. Either I hear you say you're in with us or I hear a bullet come outta that gun and go into me. or you kill me. Your choice. There we go. Tom! Grab the boat! Thanks. We're goin' too slow. Take the wheel. Watch it! Come on! Come on! Come on! There you are! Whoa, boy, where you goin'? Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch, you're pissing me off! Does that hurt? - Yeah. - Good. Get some empty bottles. We'll smoke 'em out. You got it. - What about the dam? - It'll be fine. You said if it goes, it'll wipe out the whole town. Screw the town. I'll probably get hepatitis or something. Hepatitis? That's the least of your problems. Where you going? There's a room back here. Might be something I can put on this. You been here before? Oh, yeah. I saw Jesus! Did Charlie have cancer or something? You mean, why did he get into this? No, no cancer. Didn't you ever think about taking the money? - ..No. - No? Hah! - I'm happy to disappoint you. - Yeah. What are you gonna do with it? As little as possible. Belize. What? Belize. It's this small country in Central America on the Atlantic side. I know where Belize is. What about it? Well...they speak English... dollar goes a long way... beautiful beaches, friendly people... Liberal banking laws. Very liberal banking laws. Nah. You never once thought about taking that money. You can't ride in that truck and not think about it. Reckon that's how it started with Charlie. What are you doin'? Too many bodies with bullets in 'em. I'll take her to her house, make it look like she drowned. Don't do it, Wayne! Saving her life - that might've actually gotten you laid. Don't touch her! Get back here! I'm gonna... Just dump her here, Wayne. - God damn it! - I'm gonna kill you, Wayne! Where the hell's he taking her? Where d'you think you're going? You're not gonna help matters gettin' shot out there. They're gone, you don't know where. The sheriff knows. I'll ask him. You'll be dead before you cross the sandbags. They'll be coming for us - ask 'em when they get here. - What if they don't come? - I wouldn't worry about that. Sorry, Karen. Wayne! Wayne, what are you doing? "Dear Penthouse... "I always thought your letters were fake, "until the wildest thing happened to me." Jesus! - They're not comin' out. - Fire's not catching. - It's raining too hard. - Gotta get 'em outta there. Jesus! "Her name...was Karen. "Ever since she'd come back from college, "she made it clear that she was... "too good for us local folk. "Now here she was in handcuffs. "I said, 'What in heck is going on here, ma'am?' "And she said... - "And she said..." - Get off, you psycho! You think I'm gonna play your sick little game? Why not? Well, that won't do. You'll excuse me? You wait right there. Well...I got the candle. Mood lighting. Well... "It was cold and rainy that night. "All I really wanted "was to get someplace warm and dry." Are you in the mood yet? No. Oh, my God! No! No! Come on... Come on! Phil, cover that side! Shit! Shit! Kill him! Kill him, Phil! Don't. Wuss. Where's Karen? Where the hell is she? They...they went back to her house. Where is her house? What the hell is that? - Hank? - The dam. It's topped out! How much time we got? Not long, it's an old dam. You better drop your guns. What? That's the deal. You let me and Hank go with a few of these bags. Just a couple. I'm not greedy. And I'll tell you where to find Karen. Get out of the boat. Hold on. - Hold on? - Yeah. Only way you're gonna find her. - No. - It's only a couple of bags. - No! - What d'you mean, no? I mean no! I'm here for the money and that's it. Boyd Street. She lives on Boyd Street. Three over. It's a two-storey with... blue siding. Get out of the boat. What are you gonna do? You gonna leave us here? I oughtta shoot you. Lord knows I ought to. Tom? I'm handcuffed. You're handcuffed. Oh, boy. There's a saw in the kitchen. - Where? - Cupboard next to the sink. Is that good or bad? That's very bad. You should've just killed me. The dam's gone. You've gotta go. No! Go faster. We gotta go faster. ..Yeah. You're right. Oh, God! - THAT didn't work. - Oh, God! Wait, wait - the gun. - What gun? - Wayne's gun. - Where is it? - Try the porch. Come on, Henry! Come on, Henry! Forget about "going to the light". Come back to me. You're all I've got. Oh, Henry, thank God! The next time I say, "Let's evacuate"... let's evacuate! Oh...whatever you say, honey. It's the end of the line, kid! No, you don't. You all right? I'm really tired. But I guess I'll live. Thanks for comin' after us. You never learn, do ya? I came for the money. Yeah. You OK? This is the State Police. Cease fire and put down your weapons. You better get outta here. What about the money? - Gonna turn it in? - Gotta turn it in. Do you know if my church survived? Ah, your church. Last I saw there was... a little bit of flood damage on the inside, but... But what? I'll give you the good news. The water from the dam probably put the fire out. What fire? I had nothing to do with it. The sheriff started it. This is the State Police. Put your hands behind your head and remain in view. Was it a bad fire? Bad fire? No, no. It was a little fire. Some roof damage. That's probably why they felt safe enough to drive their boats through the stained-glass window. by European Captioning Institute |
