- Louise gets pulled over for speeding. Can you blame her?
- When the cop takes Louise into his car with him, Thelma, or rather Thelma's gun, appears, attached to Thelma's hand. The gun makes its way to the policeman's forehead.
- Like a pro, Thelma directs Louise to take the cop's gun and blow out his radio.
- Then Thelma and Louise—politely, mind you—lock the cop in the trunk of his car and take off.
- Once out of the state, Louise calls Hal another time and tells him the whole thing was an accident.
- Hal gets it, but he says that since they won't come back for questioning, they're gonna be charged with murder.
- As a side note, Hal also lets Louise know that he knows "what happened to her in Texas."
- Realizing that Louise has been on the phone too long, Thelma slams it down, but it's too late: their call has been traced.
- The FBI goes off in search of the criminal duo, with Hal tagging along.
