    Hoffman escapes and goes back to find Busey. He kills Busey because he
    was the cause of his friend's death. Then he takes off with Russell,
    only to persuade/implore her to leave him as he sets off for Mexico.
    When she asks why he says, "Because I'm going to get caught." And then
    he heads off into the desert.
    
    Good film. Great last line.
