Thanks!
We're not open yet.
Yeah, but the sign says "open." We don't open till 12:00.
It's five to. I just figured you wanted to rob the place,
or you really needed coffee bad.
So, there's the cash register,
there's the bathroom and there's your coffee.
Thank you.
I passed you, didn't I?
Well, you could say that.
Sorry. I didn't see you till the last minute.
It's all right. Tomorrow's wash day, anyway. What do you want?
I need to use the bathroom.
How much is, like, a hot dog?
A hot dog is $1.50.
What do you got for 80?
A half a hot dog.
Look, you go and whatever and I'll see what I can dig up.
Oh, and if the cops come, I won't tell them where you are.
It's a joke.
Well, you look almost presentable now.
Thanks... for the food.
Oh, it's nothing. I mean, I'm lucky if I get to cook this much in a shift.
You know, sometimes I get whole days where I don't even get...
one customer.
Of course, before they built that interstate, this place used to be packed.
On a slow day, there'd be standing-room only.
And on a busy day, it would be gridlock right out to the car park.
Only people who come here now are locals.
They're all too busy boiling babies and burning books...
to bother coming in here for brunch.
And everybody else is either lost, trying to be lost or they're just...
looking for the beach.
You don't talk much, do you?
Um, I'm sorry. I haven't eaten for a while.
It's okay. Are you in trouble or something?
What?
Oh. No, it was... it was an accident.
What kind of accident?
The kind that's not meant to happen.
Okay, I was just gonna ask...
Look, I'm not on the run from the cops, okay?
I'm sorry. I haven't slept in days.
I don't know where I am. I...
I was just wondering if you're planning on going surfing.
What?
There's a surfboard attached to the roof of your car outside,
and I was wondering if you were planning on going to Moses Beach.
No. No, I don't surf. The car's not mine.
- It's a friend's. He let me borrow it. - Borrow it.
- Yeah. - While leaving his surfboard still attached.
I really don't want to appear ungrateful, but aren't you...
meant to be behind the counter or something?
If a customer comes, I'll be as attentive as I need to be. But until then,
I am enjoying your explosive company.
I know it's you.
Go home, Lynda. There's a 500-yard restraining order on me, remember?
It didn't work last time, and it won't work this time either.
You know, I can't believe you're doing this in front of your own kid.
I mean, what kind of parent are you?
You just stay away from Bryce!
You get out of here right now,
or I will give you a reason for your restraining order.
You stay away from him!
- Hey. - Hi.
- Hey, is this the right way to Moses Bay? - It is.
See, I told you.
Yeah, I'll have two eggs, fried, bacon, tomatoes.
Lots of bacon and some toast, white.
With coffee and juice. You got any pancakes? Is that it?
- Sure. - Yeah, I'll have the same thing he's having,
except without the pancakes, and do you have sausage?
Just what's in there.
The same thing he's having, but coffee with cream, please.
Yeah, give me a chocolate milkshake and toast. We'll take a booth.
- Thank you. - All right.
So, how far is Moses Beach?
Five miles.
- Thanks.
Man, there ain't no towels or anything in there.
Could we get some, um, cream for the coffee?
Cream... for the coffee.
Maybe a towel.
- Hey, don't forget my shake. - Yes!
Geez, what is up with her?
They're after me.
Excuse me. Skim is fine. Half and half is fine.
Anything is fine, just as long as it comes from a cow.
Please.
God.
- They're after me. - Hey!
You all right?
I've just had a long day.
Oh, yeah? It's not even lunchtime.
The whole thing. Thanks.
- What are you doing? - They are looking for me.
- If they find me, they'll kill me. - What are you talking about?
Just don't let them know I'm here or we're both dead.
Look, if they're after you, then why are they ordering breakfast?
- Your car is parked outside. - I don't know.
- Just don't let them... - Excuse me.
Can I get some more coffee?
- Can you give that to your friend? - Steven.
Thanks.
So, uh, what are you guys doing here anyway?
Surfing.
That's all you're doing?
- Yeah. Why? - You're not, like, looking for someone.
For an old friend or something?
No. Those two morons are my only friends.
Good. Because I think I might have a problem.
- A problem? - I thought maybe you could help me out.
What sort of problem?
There is this guy who...
Hey, who owns that car outside?
- What? - That one out there.
So, what kind of problem?
Oh.
There's this guy who's supposed to bring the bacon today,
and he didn't come, so, I, um...
I'm sorry the pieces are kind of small.
That's it?
Yes, it is.
I was only asking because it's got a Jannison Swallowtail on the roof.
And they're pretty rare.
No, that car's been there all morning.
I-I think it may have been stolen or something.
Thanks.
So, catch a good wave.
"Catch a good wave?"
What, isn't that what you guys say?
Maybe about 30 years ago.
Thank you.
Get outta here right now or I'm calling the cops.
- What the... - I mean it!
You cut the wire?
No, I didn't. He must have done it when he was in the bathroom.
You take one step closer to me, and I am going to kill you.
I didn't cut the wire.
Get out!
- You're in danger now too! - I said, "Get out!"
Look, if this is some kind of trick...
I said if this is some kind of trick...
- Are you all right? - Please, help me.
I can get you a doctor. No, no doctor.
- I-I think you need to see... - I said no doctor.
So, you sure you're okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the lift.
It's a good thing I came back, otherwise you'd be walking home, huh?
Yeah, it's lucky.
It's really weird that a rat would eat through your telephone line.
Well, not really, it's happened before.
I got a cell phone if you wanna call the phone company.
It's all right. I can do it when I get back.
So you live at the Skyliner Motel?
- What? - [ Laughing ]
Why, what's so funny?
Oh, I don't know. It's just a surfer with a cell phone.
It's just... it's kind of weird.
So, why'd you come back?
I-I was worried about you.
I was a bit worried about you, but, I, uh...
I don't know. I guess I wanted to ask you out.
Well, you are giving me a ride home.
That's not exactly what I had in mind.
What did you say your name was again?
Peter.
Well, thanks for the lift.
You're welcome.
And if you need any towels or blankets or anything, just call me.
I'll be in the office till 12:00.
Okay.
Look at that.
Where am I?
It's okay.
I just got you some Tylenol and there's a sandwich in case you're hungry.
I wanna take a look at this, okay?
This is getting worse. Who did this to you?
Those guys. They did it.
Where am I?
You're at the Skyliner Motel.
And don't worry. Nobody knows you're here.
- You run this place? - At night.
Where's my car?
Your car is parked out in back.
You need to see a doctor. You gotta get stitches.
Can you do it?
Um, I uh...
Happy to make you breakfast, happy to drive your car here
which is probably stolen to my motel...
I can make you a sandwich but sewing human flesh,
that's where I draw the line.
Diner in the day, motel at night.
You work harder than anyone I know.
Well, it wasn't really that hard until today.
Anyway, I own them both.
My dad left them to me when he died.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, I don't really own them, the bank does.
I'm just the proud owner of a big fat mortgage.
You don't like living here much, do you?
If you took the shoes off some of the kids around here,
you'd see they have hooves instead of feet.
- So, why don't you leave? - I would.
If I could sell them both for scrap metal, I would.
Why didn't you go to the police?
I don't like the police.
What's up with you and the beach boys anyway?
They're after me.
Yeah, we've established that.
Road rage.
I think I must have cut in front of them or something.
They ran me off the road, pulled me out of the car...
and stabbed me.
Well, don't split your gut or anything,
but they're staying two doors down from you.
- What? - I couldn't think of a reason to turn them away.
I can't go back there.
It's all right. You don't have to.
Where are we?
His name's Eric Leonard. He's a doctor.
Can we trust him?
He's the only one in the town I do trust.
Well, you have been in the wars, haven't you?
Now, I've been instructed not to ask how this happened.
I'll need to ask you a few questions.
- Like, when did it happen? Two weeks ago.
Tell me, have you been putting anything on it?
I bought some Bactine and... and some gauze.
Well, you've helped keep the infection from spreading to your liver and kidneys,
- but the wound is infected. - What does that mean?
It means that I'm gonna have to cut out some of this bad tissue...
and stitch it up, okay?
- How long will that take? - Not long.
- Once the anesthetic... - Don't put me to sleep!
Okay.
At the very least, you will need a local.
Okay.
You, young lady, wait outside.
Okay, now that is a severe stab wound. What's going on?
I brought him here because I thought I could trust you, Eric.
And you know you can. But I cannot fix this boy and just let him go.
For God sakes, how are you mixed up in all of this?
I'm not. I don't hardly know him.
So why?
Because nobody helped me when I needed it.
Nobody.
Except you.
Please, Eric.
Okay.
I got this today.
I also bumped into Bryce.
What happened?
Hi.
It's hot out here. You want a lift?
Why aren't you at the cafe?
What is this, an interrogation or something?
Meow. No need for claws, kitty cat.
You know, if you're screwing someone
you're not covering your tracks very well.
Listen, I don't want you upsetting Lynda any more.
She's the one calling me.
You know, Beth, I'm getting a really hard time at home,
and I really don't like that, so do me a favor...
- if Lynda calls, hang up. - If she calls me, I just tell her the truth.
- Which is? - I tell her that her husband's a rapist.
- No one believes you. - Some people do, Bryce.
The ones that count.
Well, be careful walking home alone.
Big bad wolf could be hiding just around the corner.
But still,
we know about the girl who cried wolf, don't we?
Call me tomorrow, okay?
I thought you said two hours.
Beth, there's no way that boy's gonna handle
getting the wound cleaned and scraped, awake.
I'll put him under. He'll be fine.
And I won't call anyone until you're here.
But we just can't let him go.
You know that, don't you?
Yeah.
Thank you, Eric.
For everything.
Shouldn't even let you get in that car.
It's probably stolen.
Probably.
Little late for a drive, ain't it?
What do you want, Bryce?
Lynda and I got in a fight again.
Thought I'd go for a spin, cool off.
Lucky I did.
You got a flat tire or something?
Hey!
I didn't know you got a new car.
That's funny.
It's weird 'cause you were walking out here today.
Daddy's inheritance finally kicked in, huh?
Can you get that light out of my face?
Listen. I actually don't want any more trouble with you, okay?
- I know what happened... - Don't you dare try and apologize.
- I'm just trying to work... - Get off my car!
Okay.
- I tried to be nice. - You raping son of a...
- Listen to me now! - Rapist!
Um, excuse me, Officer. is this the right way to Moses Bay?
- You boys been drinking? - He has. He has. But me?
- I haven't. - All right, everybody out of the car.
I'll talk to you later. Come on, move it!
[ Bryce ] Something funny there, boy?
Get your hands up where I can see them.
Are you boys aware of the state of Oregon's laws,
pertaining to driving under the influence?
No, sir.
You sure?
'Cause I'm going to give you a brief education.
Or do you prefer Nosferatu.
See his face when we pulled up?
I thought he was going to piss his pants.
Look at this guy.
- Want a beer, man? - No.
Oh, my God, that's gross. Look!
Beth, it's Eric. Listen, your friend is in the other room.
I can't talk long. The more I think about it,
the more it looks like the wound actually could be self-inflicted.
Wait! Somebody...
- Lynda? - Bryce, it's Beth.
Beth.
Look, I need your help.
What the hell you calling me for?
You already caused me enough grief.
- I'm worried about Eric. - Look, Lynda's gone.
She took Tracey.
Last night when I went home, they packed up and left.
Dammit, Bryce, will you listen to me? I think something's happened to Eric.
- He's not answering his phone. - So?
- I want you to go and check it out. - Why?
- Why should I? - Because that is your damn job!
Hey, Beth, listen to this.
Morning.
- Where you headed? - Um, that way.
Well, I can see that.
I mean, where you headed?
Sir, I'm not trying to make trouble. I'm just walking.
I didn't say anything about trouble, did I?
I just asked where you might be going.
Get in the car, son.
I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not trying to make trouble.
There you go using that word "trouble" again.
I just wanna talk to you, okay?
Don't make me get out and chase you, son.
You really don't want that. For the moment, we're just...
having a little conversation, but if I have to get out and chase you,
I'm gonna have to cuff you and hurt you.
We both don't want that, so...
why don't you just saddle up in here and we'll have a little talk?
Okay?
Gotta give it a yank there.
Watch the hat.
Good.
- Hi. - What happened last night?
Oh, Deputy Dunce?
He just shone his light in our face.
You were following me, weren't you?
No, I was... I was worried about you.
You don't even know me.
Look, if you came to say thank you, you're welcome.
Peter.
I need your help.
You got any I.D.?
- What's your name? - Jack Barrett.
- What's in the bag? - Nothing.
Just my clothes and stuff.
You a drifter or a thief or what?
Neither.
Then, why you so jumpy?
No reason.
What brings you out this way?
I told you I'm just passing through.
What are you doing?
Well, I'm gonna drive you to the nearest bus station.
But I didn't do anything. I was just...
What did you say your name was again?
Jack Barrett.
Well...
Jack Barrett with no I.D.,
today's your lucky day.
Buckle up.
So, you gonna tell me what's up?
You're after him, aren't you?
Who?
Oh, I am so sick of all these games of finding cracks.
You saw me with him last night. Tell me what's going on.
What are you talking...
Just tell me what's going on.
All right. He ripped us off.
Okay, let me out. Stop the car,
- I'm getting out! - Listen to me!
Listen to me. I'm gonna tell you the truth.
He ripped us off. We caught him breaking into our car,
so we ran him off the road, hit him a few times, but that's it.
At least I thought it was until I see his car parked outside of your diner,
and then I see you helping him out of the cabin in the middle of the night.
Did you stab him?
Geez, who do you think I am?
Fine, get out of the car if that's what you think. But I didn't stab him.
Why are we here? You said you were taking me to the bus station.
That's right, I did, didn't I?
Am I under arrest?
You know...
you clutch that bag like it was an appendage.
Do you mind if I took a look?
No.
Now, no matter what I find in this bag,
no matter what, up until this point,
you've been cooperative, totally forthcoming.
I like that.
Sometimes it's a relief not having to beat somebody.
Just keep that in mind, okay?
All right.
Let's see what Santa brought.
Somebody else has put this here.
- Why do you think that? - He doesn't have any family anywhere.
Somebody else has put this here.
Isn't that pushing it just a bit?
I'm going to go inside, Peter.
Eric?
All right, don't touch anything.
Just stay here and I'll look around.
Outside now!
What is it? What's going on?
You better tell me what's going on here right now!
I told you everything I know!
There is blood from here to breakfast in there.
I have never seen anything like it. Oh, geez.
Oh, my God, is Eric in there?
I don't know. I didn't see a body.
Okay. Okay, we're gonna call the police.
- No. Just give me a minute. Wait! - I'm calling Bryce.
Are you crazy? Think about it.
You brought him here. That makes you an accomplice.
Just give me a minute to think, all right?
I found that in his car.
So?
It's for people who have schizophrenia.
All right, look at it this way. You can't not go to the police.
- Eventually, they'll find out. - I already did.
- What? You didn't! - I called Bryce this morning.
What did you think I was going to do? I was worried.
All right. Actually, it's fine.
Here's what happened: He registered at the motel.
I can do a fake signature. He signed in, and everything was fine.
Then around midnight, he came to you with stomach pains,
so you drove him to the doctor.
The doctor said he should stay, so you drove his car back.
- Simple. - Did I know he was stabbed?
- No. - Was I suspicious of anything?
Absolutely not. That's why you drove his car back to the motel.
That's why you have to open the diner as per usual.
You didn't even think about it.
And you haven't seen him before, again or since.
Look, if you don't think you can do this, maybe we should go to the police.
I've been through the mill so many times in this town.
I just don't know if I can handle it again.
I mean, what if he comes back looking for me?
Well, I...
I highly doubt he would do that.
But I'll leave my cell phone with you here, okay?
Thank you, Peter.
Now, I'm going to go dump his car and sign the register book.
You, um, stay here, smoke a few cigarettes.
By the time you're through with half a pack,
I'll be back and, uh,
maybe you'll cook me a free breakfast, huh?
Hey.
You'll get through this, okay?
I promise.
Keys to the kingdom.
- Did you see him? - No, but he's around and he'll go back to see her.
How can you be sure?
Use a towel and jam that seal up. It's leaking.
Hi, this is Bryce.
I'm not in the office right now.
Leave a message after the beep. Thanks.
Hi, Bryce, it's Beth calling.
I just wanted to talk to you about before,
so I was wondering if you could call me.
No, actually, can you meet me at the motel?
There's something I've gotta tell you.
Beth, Beth, it's me, Bryce!
I know what this looks like, and it's not what you think.
All this time, I thought it was you he was having an affair with.
I found out that it was some woman over in Silverton.
I was the one that sent you the letters...
and the calls.
I wanted you to leave.
He really did attack me.
I know.
Hey, look, why don't you sit down and I'll get you a drink or something?
No.
- Just for one minute. - No, I have to go now or I'll stay.
I just wanted to come by and say that I was sorry.
Hey, should we get your mommy something to drink?
Take the register and anything else that can prove that we were here.
See if you can find any petty cash, all right?
Make it look like a break-in. I'm gonna go check out his room.
I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm not gonna hurt you.
Don't scream. Listen. Just listen!
I didn't do it. I didn't kill the doctor. You have to believe me.
He gave me something that knocked me out.
When I came to, there was blood everywhere!
They did it. I've been framed.
- Do you believe me? - Mm-hmm.
- You're lying, but that's okay...
because I'm not here to convince you!
The toilets are locked. I need you to open them.
I hid it in there the other day. It's what they want.
I know where you can get medication you need.
I need you to unlock the toilets! I hid it in there!
The only reason they haven't killed you...
is because they think you might know where I hid it.
- Okay. Hid what? - It's a disc. A computer disc with information on it.
What?
They're gonna come here...
and they're gonna find me.
And they're gonna kill both of us.
I'm gonna let you go now.
Please don't fight me.
I don't want to hurt you.
- What are you doing? - I'm just-just getting the key.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
Peter!
Jack, don't hurt her!
Jack, please don't hurt her.
Come on. It's me, Peter, come on!
Jack?
It's me, Peter.
Your brother.
Come on, Jackie, it's Peter. Open the door.
Look, we both know that you told her that I stabbed you,
and we both know that I didn't.
And I know that you haven't been taking your medication, and I know...
I know you think you can get away with it, but you can't.
Just look around you.
She knows, Jack.
She found one of your pill bottles.
She knows about it.
And I know what you did to the doctor.
But that's okay because we cleaned up the body and gotten rid of the evidence.
He's lying. Check under the sink. You'll find it.
- Come on, Jack! - Do it!
Jack, open the door and come on out.
If you come out, I'll look after you like when we were little kids.
- He's lying. - If you hurt her,
I will never forgive you!
Beth?
- Do it. - Beth, honey?
If you can hear me, just let me know, all right?
What is it, huh, Jack?
What is it this time? Is it the superhero one?
Huh?
You think you're the Anti-Christ.
Or is it the secret agent one, where you think you're being
chased by bad guys for a disc?
What are you doing!
They are not coming out.
Let's just get in there and kill 'em.
I could've talked them out, you stupid idiot.
Sorry, Casanova. Time's up.
Jack.
- Forget it! Come on! - Take it!
Jack.
Forget it. Come on.
Jack!
Come on.
Bryce.
Bryce!
Beth!
Bryce!
What is going on here?
- Why are these guys doing this? - I don't know.
That's okay. I'll drive to Louisburg.
I know the chief of police there.
It's all right. We'll catch them.
I think they killed Eric too.
I should have gone in there.
All for this.
What is it?
I have no idea.
Linda left me.
You know, Beth...
Despite what you might think,
I really am sorry.
Bryce?
Bryce!
Forget her! Find the disc!
I got it!
Can I use your phone?
Sure.
- Are you okay?
Morning.
We need gas.
I'm just gonna use your bathroom.
Um, I think someone's in there.
I said I think someone's in there!
That'll be 22.50.
Keep it.
- Well? - Well, what?
Did you get it?
Where is it?
You want to know what's on it?
Not much.
You get to a phone fast, and you won't die.
But don't follow us, understood?
Miss? Miss, are you in there?
Come on.
Just take anything you want!
All right!
Roger.
Cash, cigarettes, same drill. Make it look like a robbery.
Come on.
Grease monkey, look at me.
- The girl that was here. Where is she? - She's gone.
She's gone!
I thought she was with you.
You ever been late for a plane?
What?
Me neither.
Ow!
Bring her here.
- We had a deal! Where is it?
- Where is it?
Let her go!
Get on the ground and let her go!
Hey, now, wait a second, guy.
Don't do anything stupid, man.
I said get on the ground and let her go!
I'm unarmed, man.
You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man, would you?
Come on, guy. Come on, guy.
Stay away from me.
Stay away from me and let her go!
God damned, check this out!
Look at that. - Let's do it.
- All right. - Come on.
Oh, man, there's blood on the ground.
We got a car, man.
Look at this place, what a mess!
I need a drink.
Check it out, yeah!
Kick that, man.
Cigarettes.
What do you like, man. We've got Marlboro, we got Camel.
Lucky Strike.
We hit the jackpot, baby!
What is that?
