Sorry, officer, I just pulled over for a quick nap.
- What time is it? - See some ID?
Oh, sure. Sure.
This your car?
A friend loaned it to me.
I'm just driving it home.
Mind if I see the registration?
Oh, sure.
[dramatic music]
Hands up!
Step out of the car!
Step out now! Come on! Move it!
Get out!
Come on, right now!
Get out!
Keep your hands up.
Do it, Sam.
Do it.
You're gonna hear what the hammer claw sounded like
when you got it deep in that pretty face of hers.
- Sam, stop. Stop. - Keep going. Keep going.
Go! Shafe, get out of here.
Put the gun down.
