"I tried to talk him out of it..." "He wouldn't listen." "They called it a "jump start"." "It was supposed to put us miles ahead of the other competition." "But by the time we made it into Ohio, there was no telling just how far behind we really were..." "He was just determined we wouldn't be last..." "We were no longer competitors, now, we were ennemies." "Map." "We had no choice..." "There was just too much at stake..." "I don't see anything." " Inside maybe?" " Maybe." "What did you do?" "The next checkpoint." "No riddles." "That was the deal." "What'd you do?" "What'd you get for her?" "The next checkpoint?" "Hey, I'm talking to you, man!" "I couldn't blame him." "There was just too much at stake." "He had something they wanted..." "Me." "Corinna Wiles." "Little flashy..." "I assume Elle Subterfuge was already taken?" "Do you have a name?" "Or do they just tag and number you guys?" "Bet you have a lot of questions about us, don't you?" "Well, this room answers a few." "You stay mobile, decentralized." " You move with the race." " Yes." "And with all that moving, things tend to get lost or stolen." "You have something that belongs to me." "Really?" "What's that?" "Not long ago," "I discovered that a confidential file had been stolen of my computer." "Copied it onto a portable device." "That's too bad." "I believe that file is in your possession." "I was searched pretty thoroughly when I came..." "I believe that's how you burrow your way into this race uninvited, and selected Alex Tully as the best candidate to leech onto." "He recruited me." "He sold you out." "You know these roads." "Could do this run blindfolded." "Yeah, well, I'm kinda glad you're not." "Though maybe I should be..." "You expecting someone?" "Any number of someones." "We didn't leave any friends back in Tennessee, believe me." "You should be happy we're out of the South..." "The good news is, the other racers were on their way to Appomattox." "Virginia's not much closer to Cleveland than we are, what do you think about it?" "That's assuming they're just now leaving Appomattox." "True." "But when they got there, they've to figure out a clue, which we didn't have to do." "I'm sure robbing a bank for that address was so much easier, than, say, a pun." "Next time you have free advice about how this all race thing works, remind me to take it." "Less people might get shot." "The next time you have a chance to get closer to your wife, won't matter what advice anyone got to give." "We'll do what you think is right." "Let's just hope "right" doesn't mean "last"." "Rob, wait!" " Rob, look at me!" " It's over." " Ellie, take the car and go home." " If you leave me now..." "If you walk through that gate..." "It's over." "And I'm not talking about the race." "I'm talking about us." "Specialist Robert Laird." "Threethirteenth artillery." "My unit shipped out to the sandbox seventeen days ago." "I missed that deployment due to other circumstances..." "I'm here to turn myself in." "Baby..." "It's me." "Everything's bad..." "Rob's out." "We gotta meet." " Thanks for the ride." " Sure." "You're sure my hot candies don't mean anything to you?" "I'm not from around here!" "Screw you!" "Hey!" "C'mon!" "How about a little help here!" "?" "You know what?" "Karma's a bitch, that's all I got to say!" "You get what you give!" "Revenge is a dish best served cold" "You reach Violet's voice mail." "Leave a message." "Hi, it's dad, honey, again." "I've left Appomattox and I'm retracing my steps south along Highway 81, stopping anywhere I might... find you." "Could you please just..." "give me a call, and let me know where you are?" "Or just... give me a call." "I love you." "Drive safely, sweetheart..." "Oh my God!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I think." "My feet hurt and my arm's about to fall off, but..." "Thanks you for stopping." "You're in the race, too, aren't you?" " Maybe." "I don't know." " Yes." "I saw you with that geeky guy." "The one with the short sleeves, that always looks worried." "Yeah, uh..." "I was." "He's my dad." "The geek." "What happened?" "We've got in a fight." "I sort of..." " ran away." " That's funny." "I lost my partner, too." "We should go." "Wonder who that is?" "It's not a cop..." " Another racer, maybe?" " Or a motorist?" "Not everyone on the highway is in a secret, illegal cross country road race, Alex." " It's what I'm afraid of..." " And not everyone in the South is someone from your checkered past, either..." "You got a third option?" "Pull over, pull over now!" "I think he wants me to pull over." " Pull over!" " You going to?" "Still deciding." "Hang on." "He's alive." "Hey!" "Wake up!" "Alex... just leave him." "We should get out of here..." "Third option, he works for the race." "Allan James... same name as the last guy who tried to run me off the road." " We should go." "There'll be more." " No." "There won't be." "He wants the flash drive you stole." " I'm going to give it to him..." " Alex, don't!" " Where is it?" " Think about what you're doing." "I don't have time to think." "I'm trying to get to a finish line." "And I can't do that with people running me off the road." "Where is it?" "I put it in here." " Don't make me search." " Go ahead." "I'm telling you, I put it in that purse back at the motel..." "Yo." "Bro." "How you feeling?" "Like I been shot." "Yeah, it sounds about right." "Where are we?" "Not in last place, that much I know." "So, you awake for real now or what?" " Yeah." " Good." "So let me ask you a question..." "What do you figure this is?" "This can be over anytime." "I'm not interested in you or your story, as fascinating as I'm sure it is..." "I am interested... in a certain flash drive." "I don't have it." "Who does?" "Winston." "He must've lifted it from me at the motel." "We can get it back at the next check point." "We'll get it back before there." " Can you get me outta here?" " Later." "Tell your bosses if they want that flash drive back, meet me at the next check point." "I'll have it for 'em." " Don't do this!" " Fine." "Just get me outta here first." "Actually, I'll tell 'em myself." "Their number is on this?" "Seriously, I think I broke something." "Well." "Try not to move around too much." "Why do you think they want it back this badly?" "I don't care why!" "I don't care what's on it." "I don't care who wants it." "2 words I never want to hear in the same sentence again are "flash" and 'drive'." "Looks like stats." " Information on all the racers." " What?" "Nothing about checkpoints, or the finish line, nothing like that?" "Just a single database." ""Players"." "Lot more people in this than I thought..." "That's how she knew about me." " Who are you talking about?" " The girl I took that from." "Blondie." "She knew someone sprung me out of jail, and put me in this race." "That's how." "She's not in here..." "Hey." "Mira." "Does it say anything about who busted me out?" "Maybe." "There's an encrypted cell in each file, including yours..." "Oh yeah?" "Yeah." "They're all locked under the same reference..." "Sponsor." "Sponsor..." "Claro man." "Like NASCAR." "Maybe some big company staked me in this." " Unlikely." " No, no, no, totally likely." "Come on man, undecrypt that bitch." "Vamonos!" "You know what this is, bro?" "Knowledge." "And knowledge equals power." "And we're gonna use this knowledge right here to power us ahead." "I was gonna wait till Cleveland to tell you this, but..." "I'm done, Winston." "I want out." "I'll help you crack this file, but then I'm going home." "When did you decide this?" "The second I shot that guard at the bank." "The second I..." "I pulled the trigger." " This isn't who I am, Winston." " So who are you, then?" "Some kid who runs home to Daddy whenever life gets too tough?" " Tough?" "Tough?" "!" "I killed someone." " Yeah, I know you did!" "And you did it with Daddy's gun." "How happy do you think that's gonna make Fernando?" "You think he's gonna welcome you back home with open arms?" "See..." "Now you know what it's like to be me." "That's what I'm trying to say." "I'm not you." "Just do me a favor, alright?" "Crack that thing before we get to Cleveland." "Then at least you won't have been a total waste of time." "I just don't see the point of quitting." "I'm not quitting." "I'm giving up." "There's a subtile but important difference." " You're just mad at your dad." " You noticed?" "Yes, so wouldn't it be cooler if you stayed in it?" "Finish?" "Win?" " That would show him." " I don't want to show him." "I just want to go home." "I never thought I'd say this, but I want to see my mom." "I thought you said she was a big ho?" "Well, right now, the big ho sounds pretty good to me." "Look, I just..." "I hate to see you give up so easy." "You just want a ride to Appomattox." "My dad'll probably be there." "And I'm just..." "I'm not ready." "You're gonna have to find some other pissed off daughter to give you a ride back." "I'm sorry, but..." "That's just the way it is." "I need calories." " You want anything?" " Sure." "Violet!" " Vi!" " Did you steal something?" "!" " I'm her father." " Oh!" "Right!" "Short sleeve worry guy!" "Honey!" "Honey!" " Let me in!" " Back off!" "We have to talk." "Whoa there mama!" "Hello?" "Where's Sam?" "Is he okay?" "He's fine, Mrs. Patrakas." "He's sleeping." "Mrs. Patrakas, I can't tell you how sorry I am about this." "I hate asking you to take Sam out of here, but... with you out of town and no relatives to..." "I understand." "Hi, my baby." "Mommy's here." "I'm sorry I've left you." "I'll never do it again." "I promise." "Thank you." "We have to go." " Can I..." " Oh, yes, please." "I can get you some numbers, Wendy." "I can help you find another place." "No." "If Richard found this place, he'll find the next one, too." "It's better if I just keep Sam with me." " Thank you again." " Wendy." "Excuse me." "This is private property." "You leave now or I'll call the police." "It's okay." "This is my brother." "Sammy." "Say hi to your Uncle Louis..." "So it was you here asking questions?" "Then Richard didn't find us..." "Why didn't you just tell them who you were?" "Wen." "You and I haven't talked for three years." "And that's not because of me." "How did you find us?" "He called me." " Richard called you?" " Well, not Richard, but..." "Someone he hired to track you down." "A private investigator." "He said that... you and your son were missing." "Your son." "Who..." "I guess did what I could never do... convince you to leave him." "You have always been there." "You have." "And I'm sorry for pushing you away." "I was wrong." "We have to go." "Tell me you're not going back to him." "I'm not." "I swear." "Don't deflect, Wendy." "Don't be like Mom." "I'm not like Mom." "Look where we are." "In the same safehouse Mom took us to when we were kids." "And here we are, 20 years later, and you're running away from your abusive husband" " with your baby in your arms." " I'm not running away." "I'm driving..." "I'm driving toward something." "Something better." "I'm not going back to him." "I'm never going back to him... and he's not going to find us." "Ever." "Will I?" "We'll find you." "Son of a bitch." "Hey Folks," " don't mean to alarm..." " No, it's okay." "It's her." "Wendy." "Thank God." "You've had me worried sick." "Bastard." " What'd you say to me?" " Didn't say anything to you." " Talking to the code." " Better be." "Little punk." "Think you're tough?" "Not so tough..." "You're vulnerable just like everyone else." "You're scared." "You just can't admit it..." "Can't admit you're weaker than me..." " Come on, man." " Shut up!" "Shut up I think I got it." "It's coming up..." "Well?" "What's it say?" "You were right about your sponsor..." "It's a big company." "Yeah?" "Who?" "You sure?" "Yeah." "Lemme talk to her." "Look," "I don't know what happened between you and your dad." "But I get the idea, just from the way you talk about him, that you kinda like him, a lot." "I hate him." "Yeah, that's not the feeling I get." "A couple minutes that I spoke to him, he seems like a pretty nice guy." "You're wrong." "See, here's the thing about me." "Every time I've dumped a guy that I actually liked," "It was because I could tell he was gonna leave me." "Cause I always figured it was better to... to hurt somebody than be the one that gets hurt." "You know what I mean?" "You don't understand what he told me..." "It's not like I can't even think about it." "Just give him five minutes." "That's all he's asking." "Don't you think he deserves that?" "It's okay." "You don't have to explain anything." "No, but you do." "You may wanna explain these cops you brought here, or why your wife is fleeing from you." "Go home." "I'm not letting you take her." "Sir, take your hands off him right now and step back." "Ma'am, is there something you want to tell us?" "My brother and I... haven't seen each other for a few years, and... we're working through some family issues." "What?" "Just because you don't get along with Richard, doesn't mean you can talk to him like that in front of our son." "Nobody's been hurt." "Nobody's going to get hurt." "Thank you very much, I mean it." "Sure thing." "I'm gonna take my car back, thank you." "Thank you for everything." " Richard..." " We'll talk about it at home." "That can't be right." "It's right here." " Check it again." " It's right here." "In plain text." "Your sponsor is 'E.M' of 'S.H.'" "That can only mean Esteban Masferrer, of Salazar Holdings, Inc." "Dad's company." "Or one of 'em anyway..." " Oh man, it doesn't make any sense..." " It makes perfect sense." "Masferrer's name doesn't show up on a dinner check without my..." " without our father approving it." " That's what I mean, bro..." "If Fernando put me in this, why'd he try to take me out with a bounty hunter?" "Unless it wasn't me he was trying to take out of the race..." " It was you." " He doesn't want us together." "Protect little Seanito... afraid he's gonna get hurt." "No such worries for me, right?" "That's how he tracked us." "It wasn't the credit cards, it was this." "He knew where we were at every step of the race." " He knows where we are right now..." " Why, bro?" "Why bust me out and put me in this?" "Just to play me?" "Just to mess with my head?" " Why, bro?" " I don't know." "I did everything he wanted me to." "I stayed away." "It's Alex." "What the hell is he on?" "!" " Winston, pull over." " What?" "He's not trying to run you off the road." " He wants you to pull over!" " I bet he does." "I ain't pulling' over till the finish line." "Not for nobody." " He's trying to tell us something." " You wanna talk to him?" "Jump out!" "Winston, I'm sorry." "He saved my life." "What the hell, man!" "You wanna talk, ese?" "Let's talk." "Stay in the car." " Not a chance, you're a thief." " A thief, why?" "Because I took something we both know you stole?" "Stole lady's belongings?" "Not very chivalrous of you." " You wanna teach me some manners?" " Somebody probably should." "Let's go!" "Yes, let's." "Now, you got nothing to fight over." "You alright, bro?" "Come on, let me look at it." "We don't keep secrets because there's a lot of fun, Ms. Wiles." "Our secrets maintain the integrity of this race." "You should be able to appreciate that." "I should?" "You know something about secrets." "You've put in serious effort to conceal who you really are." "You changed your name, you erased your identity..." "Why is that all?" "Sometimes, a girls just needs a fresh start." "Moving to a new city, change your hair cut, that's a fresh start." "You're a blank slate." "Parking tickets, I racked up a few." "You're not gonna tell'em, are you?" "You didn't sneak in here and steal information off my computer." "Someone else did that." "Someone inside the organization." "So..." "If you won't tell me where the flash drive is, why don't you tell me who gave it to you." "That way, we can establish trust." "Sorry, I can't help you." "Then I can't help you." "I'm sorry." "You have twenty minutes." "Keep the questions short." "We need to get you to a real doctor." "No." "I'm fine." "And a felon." "I'm okay." "It had the sponsors on it." "Could have told me who put me in this." "Maybe even who has Kathryn." "I know." "You should be happy." "At least now I won't be giving it back to them." "No." "You're gonna give them something better." "You're gonna give them me." "Are you out of your mind?" "They're gonna keep coming after you as long as I'm with you." "They know I stole something from them." "It doesn't matter that it's destroyed." "They're gonna keep coming." "And you think that means I hand you over?" "It's what I want, it's why I jumped in your car in the first place, to get a foot hold." "To find a way in, to get behind the curtain." "And now's my chance, but I need your help." "No, no way!" "I'm not her." "I don't need you to protect me." "I'll be okay." "I know you're mad at me, and you have the right." "I shouldn't have lied to you." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry about this whole mess." "I don't want you to die, Dad." "I don't want to either, sweetheart." "But it's time that we face facts." "We've been running from them for too long." "I've been running from them." "So, what do we do?" "Well..." "We can go back to Pasadena and sit in the apartment and... wait." "Or we can get back in race." "What, so I'll have some money after you're gone?" "I don't care about that." "It's not about the money anymore." "I want to do some things before I die." "I wanna... drive too fast and..." "break the law and... beat people to the next checkpoint and... and... try to win." "I'd like to win." "I want to know what that feels like again." "'Again'?" "Dad, when'd you ever win anything?" "The day you were born." "So... you... you'll tell me every stupid fact about every... stupid landmark we pass?" "I promise." "And we're together the whole way?" "Every minute." " Okay." " Yeah?" " Let's do it." " Great." "Great." " One thing." " What?" "Where's the car?" "Okay, right pedal is "go", left pedal is "not go"." "Let me talk to whoever's in charge." "Tully." "Alex Tully." "I want to make a deal..." "I think I've got something you want." "Okay, where is it?" "Could be any number of places." " I'm not joking around, here." " I know." "But I really want to laugh." "That would reflect poorly on your interrogation skills though, huh?" "How long do you think I should wait before" "I rat you out to yourself?" "Because I don't want to make it too easy on you." "You want to stay alive?" "You just tell me where the flash drive is." "You want to stay alive?" "Convince me not to tell your boss you're the one who stole it from her." "Fine." "Just tell me and I'll get you out of here." "Who says I wanna get out of here?" " What the hell are you after?" " It doesn't concern you." "What should concern you is that your boss just gave you 20 minutes to make me talk, and neither one of us wants that." "So, what do we do?" "Make it look like you tried real hard, but I just wouldn't crack." "Make it look real." "My pleasure." "She didn't say anything?" "Nothing worth repeating." "I can repeat it if you want." "That's okay." "I'm gonna give you one last chance to tell me who gave you the flash drive." "Because if I find out who took it before you tell me..." "You'll what?" "You're gonna seek your goon on me again?" "Not you." "It's pretty simple." "The only reason someone creates a new identity is to protect their old one." "You've just done a pretty good job proving you don't care what happens to you, which begs the question, who do you care about?" "Who are you protecting?" "Someone who knew the old you." "Your husband?" "Child?" "Parent?" "You knew if you came after us, we'd come after you." "That's why you took precautions." "But if we've learned anything today, it's that you can't keep secrets forever." "I'm going to find who you are, and I'm going to find who you love." "What?" "No witty rejoinder?" "You wanted to se how we do things around here..." "Now, you get your chance." "You're late." "I've been waiting here forever." "I got sidetracked." "Take it easy." " You look hot when you're stressed." " Don't." "What's the matter?" "Okay, let's explore this." "First, you lose that stupid flashdrive thing that was supposed to get us ahead, then my idealistic jarhead husband throws our race phone out the window, and drives himself to the nearest army base to await court martial," "which I could end up taking the blame for." "I think you picked the wrong racer to partner up with." "I have no job, no money, no clue where the next checkpoint is, and oh yeah, I'm last." "Wrong." " You're in the lead." " Yeah." " I'm what?" " I tracked your race phone by its GPS." "It's not in the side of the road in some bushes." "Somebody must've picked it up because it's in play." " I don't get it..." " You don't have to." "As far as the race knows, you passed the checkpoint at Appomattox last night, and the one in Cleveland about a half hour ago." "Really?" "!" "So..." "who the hell has my phone?" "We can worry about that after we get your husband off that base." "Rob?" "He's in the brig, he can't do anything for us," " he's worthless..." " Wrong again." "He's worth 32 million dollars." "At least until he gets you across the final finish line." "Forget Rob," " you can get me there." " You know, I can't." "If anybody even found out we were talking..." "Listen," "I can help you behind the scenes, but you gotta stay in it." " Okay, baby?" " Don't call me that." "Okay, I'm sorry... partner." "We'd played the game their way, and we were losing." "I don't see anything..." " Inside, maybe." " Maybe." "Twenty hours before we'd been a team." "All four of us." "What?" "!" "What would you do?" "Next checkpoint." "No riddles." "That was the deal." "We were no longer competitors..." "What'd you do?" "What'd you get for her?" "The next checkpoint?" "Hey, I'm talking to you, man!" "Now, we were ennemies." "We had no choice." "I couldn't blame them." "There was just to much at stake." "Stick to the plan." "Alright." "So here's the plan :" "Corinna wants to get behind the curtain, I'm gonna help her." "What I'm not gonna do is turn her over then just run like a dog to the next checkpoint." "Alex, you don't have a choice." "They have your wife." "So long they think I'm in their race, they think I can't come after them." "But they're wrong." "I'm gonna do both." " How?" " With your help." "We have a name." "We can go at one of the sponsors..." "My father..." "Dad?" "It's Sean." "Listen, I'm calling from Cleveland, Ohio." "I'll explain, I'll explain everything..." "but not now, not on the phone." "We need to see you in person." "Yes, both of us." "How soon can you be on a plane?" "And you, you're gonna keep me moving toward the finish line." "Alright, Farm Boy." "This better work." "And even if I knew how to do that," " why would I want to?" " Because... he's going to get you a real jump start." "The location of the next checkpoint, with no riddles, in exchange for me." "What would you do?" "So you two put your necks on the line, and I get... one step closer to thirty two million dollars?" "That sounds like a good plan." "Stick to the plan." "I couldn't blame him." "He had something they wanted..." "Me." "And they had something he wanted..." "You." "He'll find us." "He'll find us both." " What was that?" " Hang on with something."
