[Music] moving North Northwest at 16 knots the pace is maintained we can expect to see landfall sometime between 8 and 900 p.m. now we have observed sustained wind speeds upwards of6 mph which does mean Rouge is upgraded to a category 3 hurricane this is a fast moving storm folks so if you have not evacuated yet your window is closing very rapidly got it yeah thought I had man it's a beautiful day what do even think a Storm's about to come right just to say it again you sure you won't come with

me yeah I'm surek all right you get stuck on your roof I don't want to hear about it I'll make sure I keep my swim drunk Zone just just don't leave it the chance all right last thing I need is my only neighbor getting swallowed up by a damn hurricane all right you be careful Mak cheer upkins for for help me I'm going to grab some things I'll give you $1,000 for a glass of water I hate to be the one to tell you this you're in pretty bad shape miss you got a name you want to share otherwise I'm go

ing to have to keep calling you miss and that seems a little oldfashioned Rouge rou well miss Rouge it's very nice to meet you I've got to be honest with you I don't have a whole lot of experience patching up people with bullet holes in them you really should be at a hospital no h you're not going to make it without one no hospitals no hospitals is that for [Music] you Mr Hopkins Megan is she here [Music] not for you stranger hungry so how did you uh know about her I not too many places to end u

p around here tell you don't know her no I figured she knew you I've never seen her before why'd you follow her I almost ran over barely missed then I saw going to the woods and then I found the blood so pretty noble there Mr Hopkins yeah well I won't matter much if we can't get a help storm might weaken by the morning that might be I'm thinking if I avoid the bridge I could probably make it to Davis Memorial yeah well you might want to check with Miss Miracle there before you make any decisions

she's pretty dead set against hospitals against why why well might have something to do with that delegate cargo she's carrying well if she stays here she dies whether she's against a hospital or not that is true you don't seem too torn up about it look I'm just I don't really think that her odds are going to be any better in a hospital bed than they are right here on my couch at this point all right so what do we do then Hopkins have you ever seen that much money before no never yeah me either

I don't know about you but I don't come from Rich Blood let's face it Universe hasn't been overly kind to me the universe yeah the universe the god fate Destiny I don't really care what you call it but it seems to me that guys like you and me we don't get many opportunities to have a say in the outcome right what are you suggesting I don't know yet but I do know that little Miss Rouge in there is probably a criminal and that means that that money is not hers oh it's not ours either I didn't say

it was ours but I'd like that you and I at least are on the same track no Megan I don't think we are you know my wife died I never tell you that she was killed did I tell you that no she got this little pot the first year that we were married and it survived all the way through my marriage it survived storms and moves and me big Ox that I am it is survived until today I walk out on the porch and it's cracked up nothing I did nothing anybody did it's just something that happened and I could I co

uld fix it sure I mean that's not the issue it's I'm just saying you know what I'm saying no this is bad it's bad Hopkins I know but the fact is that you and I are going to have a dead body in there before morning and that is the truth whether we say yes or no to the money so you do want the money then I have waited so long for an olive branch all right so what then what exactly do you want to do I want to let time answer this one you want to let her die she is dead already and you know then and

if she makes it through the night she won't she will not make it come here you're going to kill me I'm not going to kill you this he where did you get this money it's not for me I didn't have a choice but then who was it for I know he wants it I can see as soon I have eyes look I'm going to get you some help as soon as we can leave I'm going to take get to a hospital don't let him take she awake uh no just sleep talking [Music] [Music] [Music] good morning it's time to start the day good mornin

g good morning to you Hopkins I always call you by your last name you know what my last name is it's bacon it is no but it should be don't you think cuz then I'd be making bacon rou is alive yeah I saw that guess time didn't do its job I'm taking it to a hospital today you are yeah I don't care what you do with the money and I know you said the universe is out to get you or whatever but I'm not just going to let her slip away so as soon as the wind dies down we're leaving weird don't you think w

hat hurricane in December no Hopkins you're not going to take her to a hospital because there are doctors there and they will want to know who she is and they will call the police and the police will want to know why she's shot and then somebody is going to ask where all that money is and I can't trust Mr Noble with a lie of that magnitude come on this is an opportunity to have a say in the outcome and I'm taking that opportunity you stay here I'll do it [Music] [Music] get [Music] you won't get

far they're going to find you thank you for the heads up make it put it down you know that's not going to happen nothing has to happen you said it yourself we have a say a decision yeah I made my decision Hopkins you know the Ru about guns you never point one unless you're willing to pull the trigger [Music] you know what I need to apologize to you Hopkins I lied my wife wasn't [Music] killed she left [Music] me [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] [Music] [Music]
