Archie
Amber! Oh thank God.
Archie
How did you escape? Didn’t the chief go after you?
Amber
Dad!! Dad don’t move I brought a med kit. Oh my god…dad.
Amber
There’s so much blood...
Archie
Yeah. Asshole knew to shoot around the Kevlar.
Archie
But it’s fine. Just my shoulder. Agh!
Archie
Sweetie I need you to focus right now. Just come help me up. Let’s go. Now.
Amber
But aren’t you supposed to stay still? We need to try and stop the bleeding.
Archie
Amber! We have no idea who might be coming here to clean up this mess.
Archie
We have to act fast.
Amber
Okay. Take it slow now. This is gonna hurt…
Archie
Ugh. Let’s get to the car.
Amber
And we do know who this was.
Amber
It’s Luke. Luke is behind this.
Amber
From my school dad. Luke.
Archie
You kidding me? How is this all him?
Amber
I don’t know, but somehow.
Amber
This is the chief’s phone.
Amber
Looks like they were feeding info to each other this whole time.
Archie
Crooked this whole time. And working with kids?
Amber
Yeah he’s a piece of shit.
Archie
I mean…if he’s crooked…
Archie
Amber are you okay?
Amber
Dad. We have to get Luke.
Amber
He’s on the run now.
Amber
And he is not getting away.
Amber
I swear to God when I find him I’m gonna -
Archie
We can’t take this upon ourselves Amber!
Archie
That’s not how we go about this.
Amber
And what, you expect me to go to the cops?
Archie
I expect you to be level headed.
Archie
You have evidence and a name now.
Archie
We take this to the officials and —
Amber
So another crooked cop can just shoot at us?
Archie
We are lucky we’re still alive Amber
Amber
And Luke is lucky I haven’t gotten to him yet!
Amber
He murdered one of my best friends.
Amber
And he tried to kill us both!
Amber
There’s no way in hell he’s getting out of this.
Amber
If you want to stop me, you’ll have to arrest me.
Archie
Calm down for a second.
Amber
See that’s your problem dad!
Amber
You always think things are just gonna work out
Amber
And that justice will always prevail
Amber
But where the hell was justice when John was burning alive?
Archie
Amber watch your tone -
Amber
Where was it when the Chief of effing Police gunned you down and ran after me?
Amber
This system isn’t here to help dad.
Amber
And I’m not gonna sit around and expect it to.
Amber
I’m going with or without you.
Archie
Here. Help me out of this. You’ve taken a bullet before, right?
Amber
Dad what are you doing?! Keep that on!
Archie
I’ll feel a lot better knowing that you have it.
Archie
You might need it where you’re going.
Archie
Shit. I hear the sirens.
Archie
You have to go. I’ll keep these guys busy as long as I can.
Archie
Amber do not argue with me anymore!
Archie
Who knows how many screwed up cops there are. I can’t let them get to you.
Archie
You know what you have to do. So go do it!
Archie
I love you too sweetie.
Amber
Luke I know you’re here! Answer me!
Amber
Surprised I found you? Asshole?
Luke
It’s a public monastery Amber. And I assume you still have the chief’s phone.
Luke
I would have been pretty disappointed if you didn’t.
Luke
Come here for a seco-
Amber
Freeze! Luke don’t you move a damn muscle
Luke
Oh goodness, would you put that thing down?
Luke
Let’s talk for a bit
Amber
There’s no walking away from this for you Luke.
Luke
Fine, but I want to show you something. You might want to see it.
Luke
C’mon, don’t I get any famous last words?
Luke
Shame. I figured you would have more to say to him.
Luke
John. That was his name, right?
Amber
Don’t you dare say his name!
Luke
I’m just saying. You’re wasting time aiming at me
Luke
When you could be reunited with your friend
Luke
But would you ever forgive yourself for not taking the chance to see him one more time?
Luke
Ooo. I like I girl in power. This way.
Luke
Now, I don’t want you to be alarmed when you see him.
Luke
Things got pretty uh…heated between us a while back.
Amber
You really wanna die right now, don’t you?
Luke
Oh, pardon me. I was never the best with words growing up.
Amber
How long do these stairs spiral for?
Amber
Luke if I see you try anything before I see John I…
Amber
John…look at… what they did to you…
Luke
Goodness, pull yourself together. You’ve seen a charred body before.
Luke
But then again, maybe those other ones weren’t your friends.
Amber
I don’t…I don’t even understand how.
Luke
Yeah, he’s a tough bastard. Figured I would hang on to him.
Amber
Why? Why down here?
Amber
What the hell could you possibly gain by keeping him down here?!
Luke
The upper hand. You see, you might have gotten the chief.
Luke
But he’s got an entire squad for me to command.
Luke
A few of them are probably having their fun tearing apart your father right about now.
Luke
Limb, from pathetic limb.
Luke
The rest are on the way here.
Luke
So even if you shot me, right here and now, you would either get killed
Luke
Or tossed in jail for attempting to burn your friend John alive.
Amber
John…I’m so sorry I couldn’t help you…
Luke
Jesus! Enough about him.
Amber
So there’s no way I’m getting out of this.
Luke
Not a chance in hell.
Luke
Ah, sirens. Looks like your dad didn’t last very long.
Amber
Then answer this for me.
Amber
This place is public right? Still running?
Luke
What are you getting at?
Amber
Because if it is, those propane tanks behind you are probably full, right?
Amber
John… I’m so sorry.
Amber
See you soon, John.
