Dog? Where's the dog?
[girl] Over there.
Didn't you see it?
No.
What kind of dog was it?
Small dog.
Interesting.
E for...
elephant!
[girl] Elephant? Where?
Yeah. What, did you miss it?
[laughs]
Hey, sweetie. Don't pick at your scab. Come on.
I was just checking.
Did you make that hole?
It was already like that.
It'll leave a scar.
I wouldn't even have a scab if Lily Stevens didn't push me.
Lily Stevens wouldn't have pushed you if you hadn't thrown chalk at her.
She was making faces at me.
[woman] We don't hurt people.
Not ever.
She deserved to be hurt.
[gasps] No, she didn't.
Clara, no one deserves to be hurt,
no one.
Okay?
Come on.
[woman] All good?
[Clara] Yeah.
[turns on faucet]
[radio host] I got to meet TJ. He's a nice, nice gentleman.
Please go in to TJ's and get yourselves some waffles there.
So that is on the list, and I'm gonna put it down as number two
because last...
[Tony Robbins on podcast] We grow or we die.
So, we're unaware that we use events as a trigger
to get home back to the patterns we know
even if it's uncomfortable.
So, if you identify where you live,
emotionally, the patterns that are limiting you,
- the second piece is find the antidote. - [phone dings]
- Shit. - [Robbins] We all will face,
multiple times in our life, extreme stress.
The difference in peoples' lives is not what we face,
it's what we do with what we face.
Life gives us these events, these, quote, "horrific events,"
because there's an area of our life that has to grow.
You can take yourself from a place
where in the face of absolute total tragedy,
you triumph...
[softly] You've gotta be kidding me.
[tire bursts]
Oh, shit.
[Clara, sleepily] Mommy...
why did we stop?
[door alarm beeping]
[door closes]
Oh, great.
Ow!
Where are we, Mommy?
Somewhere, sweetie.
[Clara humming]
[woman] You know, Poppy taught me how to change a tire.
One day I'll teach you.
In the meantime, you should probably come over here and...
get a head start and pay attention.
[Clara] Nah, that's boring.
[sighs]
Yeah, suit yourself.
Maybe you can help
by getting Mommy her coffee.
[exhales]
Come on.
[grunts]
- [Clara] Mommy... - [sighs] Oh, God.
[softly] Oh, God.
[Clara] When we get to Oklahoma, can we...
[Clara screaming]
Clara?
[screaming continues]
[crying]
- Show me! - Mommy, it bit me!
Let me see, Clara.
[Clara wails]
Oh, God.
Okay. It's okay, sweetie.
It's okay. It's okay.
[Clara continues wailing]
[sighs]
Come on, come on.
Oh, it's okay. Clara? Clara?
Come on, baby.
Oh, sweetie.
[panting]
["Moon Dawging" playing on record player]
[Clara whimpers]
Hold on, sweetie.
[woman] Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody home?
Hello?
Come on, stay with me, baby, okay?
Just stay with me, baby.
Stay with me.
Oh, God. Come on, come on.
[breathing heavily]
I'm so sorry for barging in.
My little girl, she got bitten by a snake,
and I really need your help.
I got a flat tire, and I can't get a signal.
She's really burning up. I don't know what to do.
You're in luck, darlin'.
I've worked on many a bite out here. Let me help her.
Oh, thank God.
- Oh, she's going blue. She's going blue! - Here, let me.
Please help her!
What can you do?
The nearest town's Tulia.
You'll find a hospital there.
You best get that tire sorted out.
Come on, don't just stand there, honey. Time's a-wasting.
We'll discuss payment later.
It's okay, sweetie.
[straining]
[grunts]
Mommy's here.
Clara?
Clara.
Mommy...
[sighs in relief]
[grunts]
["Moon Dawging" continues playing]
[softly] Okay. Come on, sweetie.
[man] We'll keep her in for the day, monitor her condition,
but trust me, if a five-year-old was bitten by a rattlesnake...
[chuckles] you'd know it.
From the looks, it's just exhaustion, mild dehydration.
You should've seen her. She was burning up, she wasn't breathing.
She turned blue, for Christ sakes.
[doctor] Were you feeling out of sorts at all during the drive?
[woman] No.
- [doctor] Medication? You taking anything? - [woman] Nothing, no.
Listen, Phoenix to Oklahoma can be a long haul.
Yeah, well, I'm not a very good flier,
so driving was the lesser of two evils.
[doctor] Were you feeling, uh...
Is this necessary?
...apprehensive or...
stressed before the drive?
Uh...
No. Uh, yes, I guess.
It's been pretty crazy. Um...
We're starting over,
and the move's been a lot on Clara.
You're a single mother?
Yes.
[doctor] Slightly elevated. Not surprising, but nothing alarming.
Look, I know this sounds crazy.
But there has to be some kind of explanation.
I mean, that old woman, maybe she had...
I don't know, like an ancient remedy on her shelf or something.
I'm just...
I'm just telling you what happened.
[doctor] Your daughter's gonna be fine.
She just needs to rest.
You need to do the same.
Get some sleep.
[man] That's all it is.
God's will.
[sobs] I know.
[sniffles]
[man] Such a pretty little thing.
To think we almost lost her.
You really are lucky. Things could have ended much differently.
You are?
I'm here to talk about your payment, Ms. Ridgeway.
Oh.
Why don't you pull up a chair?
So, we have insurance, my daughter and I, both.
We're both covered.
Oh, I'm not talking about your hospital debt.
I'm talking about the other debt.
The one you now owe.
What was done for your daughter doesn't come cheap.
Her little soul was spared.
And now you owe one in return.
[laughs]
I'm sorry, I thought you said soul.
Ms. Ridgeway, you don't have long to pay your debt.
You only have until sunset, which is...
now only...
seven hours away.
The soul you take can be any one of your choosing,
but it must be human.
And it must be paid in full and on time.
Okay, I...
don't really understand what's going on.
I don't know who you are.
I think I'm gonna call security.
I would like you to leave the room, leave my daughter alone.
Failure to meet your debt, Ms. Ridgeway,
will result in your daughter's condition returning to what it was.
I'd like you to leave now.
Let me, uh, remind you of what that'd look like.
[Clara whimpers]
Clara? Clara?
- Sweetie? - She will suffer...
What've you done to her?
...before she succumbs to the snake venom...
working its way through her tiny body.
No, please, stop it.
She will die, Ms. Ridgeway, that I can assure you.
Make it stop! Fucking get out of here! Get out!
Help! Someone come in here, now!
Please, somebody help me!
[man] Seven hours, Ms. Ridgeway.
[alarm blaring]
You best get a move on.
[Clara] Mommy...
[Clara whimpers]
[woman] I need help! In here!
Quick, please!
Oh, God!
Okay, I need you to call...
- [female nurse] Did something happen here? - [alarm stops]
- Who do you want us to call? - Miss?
Miss?
- [male nurse] Should I call security? - No, no, no, no! No, don't.
That won't be necessary.
[female nurse] Are you okay?
[breathing heavily]
[woman] I've been up since before dawn, driving.
Maybe I need to check into the motel across the road.
[female nurse] That's probably for the best.
We'll keep an eye on her for you.
[woman] Okay, I'll just say goodbye to her.
[softly] Oh, my God.
[cries] I don't know what's going on, Clara.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
This is insane.
I just want you to be okay.
[phone ringing]
[operator] 9-1-1, what's your emergency?
Hello?
9-1-1, what's your emergency?
[car door closes]
[breathing heavily]
[vehicle approaching]
Great.
[yells] I'm fine!
I'm fine, I don't need any help!
She's gonna die, Katrina!
Only one way to save her!
Stay away from me.
There's nowhere to run!
[cries] You stay away from me!
[laughing]

[news reporter] This is the diner in Tulia, Texas
where 47-year-old lawyer Donald Covington was fatally stabbed in the chest
by 32-year-old school teacher Michael James Warner just before sunset.
Witnesses say Warner kept repeating, in a bizarre manner,
"A soul for a soul," as he attacked Covington.
Warner is currently in cu...

[indistinct baseball commentary over TV]
[woman talking indistinctly on TV]
Thank you.
Hey, um...
I'm so sorry...
about before.
That...
that was so nosy of me.
I shouldn't have just been peering into your room like that.
It's fine.
No, I just wanted to offer my condolences.
He's not gone yet.
Oh, no. Uh... Of course not.
[sighs deeply]
- You wanna sit? - Oh, sure, sure.
Such a... [clears throat]
Such a strange thing...
waiting for your daddy to die.
[sniffles] Um...
Anyway, I'm sorry. What brings you here?
[exhales] Oh, uh...
my daughter, she got sunstroke.
We've been driving all day, and...
she's not feeling too well.
[woman] How's she doing?
She's fine. Um...
Doctor thinks she just needs some rest.
Um, I'm Loraine.
Susan.
Anyway, um, it was nice chatting with you.
I hope you and your little one get out of here soon.
Well, uh, actually she's out for the count right now
and I am going stir-crazy in that silence all by myself.
So I was wondering if maybe, uh, I could...
uh, keep you company.
[Loraine] With Daddy?
Mm-hmm.
[Loraine] Apparently, they can hear you.
The nurse described it kind of like a...
like a two-way mirror or...
Or was it a one-way mirror?
Either way, he won't be waking up.
But I'm still here, Daddy.
You okay, Susan?
He seems to be at peace.
Yeah.
[inhales deeply]
- [cell phone vibrates] - Oh, shoot.
Hey, y'all here?
B-7.
No, it's at the, um...
All right, just wait there, I'm coming.
Leave it to my sister to get lost in a hospital this small.
I gotta go grab 'em.
I should go get Clara.
- [Loraine] Thank you, Susan. - Sure.
[breathing heavily]
[whispers] I have to do this, I have to do this.
I have to do this, I have to do this,
I have to do this, I have to do this.

who is this?
I was just using the, um, bathroom.

Jesus Christ, lady!
Are you all right?
- Wh... What the hell happened? - Stay away from me.
[driver] What were you thinking?
I almost ended you!
Is everything okay?
Hey, you don't... You don't look all right.
Look, you want me to call someone?
Let...
You fucking serious?
Hey!

It's a heck of a sport you chose there.

Definition of insanity

Enough's enough.
Let me stay, please, just a little while.

All right.

Apologize to Francine for coming in here and making a scene,

Sorry.

Lightweight, easily concealable,
but most important: accurate.
Shoots a maximum of 16 rounds through a flush-fitted magazine.
I'll do you two boxes for the price of one.
You ever, uh, fire one of those, darlin'?
I'll take it.
All right.
I'm just gonna need to see your license. You're a Texas resident, I take it.
No.
Well, I'm afraid I can't be letting you purchase a firearm.
Residents of Texas only.
Look...
my daughter and I, we were, uh...
attacked on the road.
I feel like I need protection.
And I don't know what you can do, but maybe you could just...
just turn a blind eye, or... I don't...
[sighs]
When did it get to be like this?
When did the open roads of this great country of ours
revert to such savagery?
It's not right, not one bit.
Where's your little one?
In the hospital.
Jesus. What...?
I'm sorry, I can't help you, but...
this man can.
His name's Charlie. Lives here in Tulia.
You can find him here.
It's a cash-only transaction.
I guess you'd call him a private dealer.
[chiming]

[man, over speaker] What you want?
Hi. Earl, uh, sent me.
He said he'd vouch for me.
Are you Charlie?

Okay, Katrina Ridgeway.
I'm gonna have to do a quick body check.
Is that really necessary?
Okay.
[Charlie patting Katrina's legs]
- You want me to fix you up some tea? - No, thank you.
More of a coffee drinker, huh?
I guess.
My wife, Tracy, she'd stock the cupboard
full of a whole variety of exotic flavors.
Hibiscus was her favorite.
- So, can we... - You sure you don't wanna try some?
It's no trouble.
I'm sure.
[stammers] I... I've gotta go.
Tracy is no longer with us.
She took the barrel of a Glock, identical to the one that you're buying...
and put it in her mouth.
Okay, I am so sorry...
so sorry to hear about your wife, but I've gotta get going.
[chuckles]
Listen to me, just...

Yeah, she's... She's all yours.
Uh...
The piece, that is.
The rounds are another 50.
I... think I've got 40.
I mean, I can rustle up the other ten, but I've gotta go.
[sighs] I ain't gonna deprive a woman of carrying a piece.
Now, what kind of a man would I be?
I'll let the ten slide.
Thank you, thank you.
You ever handle one of them before?
'Cause if you need some pointers...
I offer that for free.
No, I'm, uh...
Who's the unlucky son of a bitch?

They got it coming?
You out to end someone.
I can see it in your eyes, plain as day.
So, I wanna know.
I wanna know, Katrina Ridgeway...
that you're sure...
that they got it coming.
[manover video] Hi, it's me again, Mr. Glock.
Uh, I thought today, uh, one of the Glocks I've not demonstrated
or talked about, is the good old reliable Glock 19.
It's a magazine full of bullets in it,
and it also has one in the chamber.
I'll quickly check that.

[Abbie] What do you mean?
[Billy] What'd he say?

[Billy] So, he said nothing?
[Abbie] Billy, I kept my head down, clocked off,
and got the fuck out of there, I swear.
[Billy] Hmm.
If you say so.
Shit. The towels are all wet.
[Abbie] Oh, I put them in before work. They're in the drier.

[Billy] Can't have my girl drying off with no wet towel.

[commentator 1] Good job by Hardy,
and then she tried to avoid the kick of Williams,
but Williams was able to score.
[commentator 2] Now, what these kicks do is they allow Williams
to get in punching range without Hardy stopping her jab.
She wants to kick.
She's in punching range, and she flows.
[commentator 1] And Williams mixing up the punches and kicks
while Hardy is punching wildly!
Eats a couple of stiff elbows.
Mid-point of what has been a fantastic opening round.
[commentator 2] She's vicious, coming out...
[commentator 1] Speaking of vicious,
a vicious exchange here between Williams and Hardy!
[commentator 2] Hardy has not found her comfort zone.
She's had flashes of offense.
Certainly hasn't been in the pocket, where she wants to be.
[commentator 1] Williams' composure really impressive...

Okay. You stay there. Don't move, okay?

Okay, get up. Get up.

how to get to the garage.
Can we get to the garage from the house?
Mm-hmm.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
Okay.
You're gonna show me.

I can get you anything you want. Please, just tell me.

No. 'Cause if I do, you'll shoot me.
I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Get out of the truck.

Please don't kill me.

I can't help it because you're gonna kill me.

Look, I need you to hold yourself together
and get out of the fucking truck, okay? You hear me?
Please, because, look, I know I've done some fucked up things in this lifetime.
Okay, I know I have.
But please, if you tell me, I can fix it, I promise.
Please, 'cause I don't wanna die!

And I had to do... I had to do...
I had to do what I had to do to keep you safe.
I want you to remember me.
And keep me close to your heart
as best as you can.

Speaking.
This is Dr. Hayes. I'm calling about your daughter Clara.
I've been trying you for around an hour now.
Tell me.
Sorry?
How is she?
She's fine. She's up, ready to go.
She's wondering where you are. [chuckles]
So am I, for that matter.
Tell her I'm on my way.
I'll be there soon.
Okay, will do. I'll make sure she gets something to eat.
Thank you.
[sighs]
- [Clara] Mommy! - Hey, sweetie.
[Clara] They gave me red jello and ice cream.
Ooh, they did, sweetie?
Yeah, and spaghetti for dinner.
What happened to your neck?
Oh, I scratched it.
Did it hurt?
Yeah, a little.
When are we leaving? Do I have to stay in here?
No, we don't. We're free to go now.
[Katrina] Yeah. No, you're right, Mom,
I should have called you right back, but I just didn't want to bother you.
But we're hitting the road now, yeah.
No. Promise you, everything is all good.
[Clara] What letter are we up to?
Mommy?
What, sweetie?
What letter were we up to?
Uh... [exhales]
I can't remember.
You decide.
[Clara] Okay.
Hitchhiker, Mommy.
H for hitchhiker.
Did you see him, Clara?
Did you see him?
[Clara] Yeah.
Where do you think he's going, Mommy?
I'm not sure, sweetie.
