12 Rounds Page #3

I know. Phil's gonna be here

in a few minutes.

That's all I need- put another one

of that guy's kids through college.

This is not a big deal.

This is our home.

Apparently our home is made

of durable papier-mch.

Stop. Stop it.

Look, I have to go to the hospital.

I'm doin' another night shift.

- I'm putting you and Shortie in charge.

- Fantastic.

[Slaps Butt]

- We're f***ed.

- [Doorbell Rings]

I'm gonna start sleepin'

in the guest room.

There's leftover pork chops. Make sure

you feed Phil when he's done savin' our house.

Love you guys.

Dude, didn't I tell you two months ago

that you had to replace the stop valve?

- What stop valve?

- Look, I told you it had a crack.

You said you'd take care of it yourself,

save a little cash.

- I spent all afternoon underneath that sink.

- I was gonna get to it.

- When? Two months ago?

- That's when I just bought the new car.

- I was tryin' to save some cash.

- I can't handle this. I- I'm gonna be late.

- Molly?

- Danny, what?

Look, I need a little help here, okay?

First it was the gas bill, and then

the air conditioning, and now the sink?

I mean, I love you.

I just- I need to know that I can trust you

with these things. That's all. Okay?

I'm sorry.

I gotta go.

Molly, wait.

Look, I'll see you in the morning, okay?

Dude, sorry.

I didn't mean to make a ruckus.

- But a plumber's gotta plumb.

- [Whines]

You want a little advice?

It's the ones that go underneath the sink-

those are the ones that you don't want

to have walk away.

[Sneezes]

[Cell Phone Rings]

Yeah.

[Man] Is this Officer Fisher

of the New Orleans Police Department?

Detective Fisher.

Who's calling?

This is Miles Jackson.

- How you been?

- Why the hell are you calling me?

Say hello- [Chuckling]

chat about the weather...

see if you fancy a quick bite.

Yeah, prison food tastes like sh*t.

Yes, it does.

One of the many reasons that I left.

I put you there, Miles. I'm pretty sure

I'd know if you were out by now.

Really, Danny?

I'm sorry to tell you, but I think you might

have been left out of the loop on this one.

Okay. So, where are you?

Close enough to smell Molly in the shower

while you were takin' your little nap.

It's a real shame about the plumbin',

'cause I was really startin' to enjoy the show.

- Danny? Where you goin'?

- [Barking]

I don't know where you are

or what you're doin'.

You come anywhere near me and Molly,

I swear to God-

Danny, please shut up.

You killed the love of my life.

That was an accident, Miles!

Oh, and poor Phil.

He was really looking forward

to those pork chops.

Phil!

Phil, get out of the house!

Now, see, that was an accident.

[Chuckling]

Okay, you listen

very carefully to me, Danny.

It's our anniversary.

One year ago today, whether by dumb luck

or uncompromising skill, you bested me.

And as such, today we're going

to have our rematch.

I just took Round 1.

The last time we met, you took from me

what can never, ever be replaced.

And for that, I am going to take from you.

Now I just wonder, do you think Molly

is gonna be able to trust me?

Miles! Miles!

- Keep him safe.

- All right.

[Man Chattering]

Excuse me. Could I just use your phone?

I need to call my daughter.

- Yeah, of course.

- Thank you.

Great.

[Phone Beeps]

- From her house.

- [Call-waiting Beeps]

Okay. Um-

- [Ferry Horn Blows]

- Molly!

How about Camille's mom?

Molly!

- Police! Out of the car!

- What?

- Out of the car. Come on.

- Okay.

- [Engine Rumbling]

- [Tires Screeching]

Hey!

[Brakes Squeal]

Hey, watch it!

[Horn Blows]

- That's great!

- Yeah, no problem.

[Cell Phone Rings]

- Holla at your boy.

- Hank.

Call D.O.T. Have them stall

the Thomas Jefferson ferry.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's going on, Danny? Slow down.

Miles Jackson.

He broke out of prison. If we don't stop

that ferry in the next 30 seconds...

- I'll never see Molly again.

- All right, all right. D.O.T. I'm on it.

- Did you get good grades?

- [Sirens Wailing]

Try to get some of your homework done

while you're there.

[Horn Honks]

[Horn Blows]

- Bye-bye. Thank you so much.

- Hey, no problem.

- Sorry it took a little longer.

- No. Don't worry.

[Chattering]

Molly. Molly, pick up!

Whoa, whoa! Detective Danny Fisher.

Secure this area now.

[Siren Wailing]

Ladies and gentlemen, hold it!

Stop for a minute.

- [Siren Stops]

- Danny.

Where is she?

She's gone. She just gets

on the ferry and she's gone.

Hey, hey. Calm down. Maybe she's just on

the streetcar on the way to the hospital.

No, no, no, no.

You don't understand.

He said I took from him what could

never be replaced. He's gonna kill her.

Hey, Danny.

Danny, that's not gonna happen, okay?

- We're gonna find her. We're gonna get her back.

- Molly, come on. Pick up.

Pick up!

[Miles]

Molly Porter's phone.

- Let me talk to her.

- [Beeps]

[On Speaker]

How do you know she's not dead already?

I'm just teasing, Danny.

Come on. Come on.

Where's your sense of humor?

[Quiet Grunting]

- Here. Say hello to your boyfriend.

- Danny, please.

- We're in a silver va-

- Molly! Molly, where are you?

That one was for free.

The rest you'll have to earn.

I'm gonna find you.

I'm gonna hunt you down,

and I'm gonna kill you.

Well, you know what?

I look forward to that, Danny.

It's a game.

What, you like games, don't you?

Mousetrap, Monopoly, naked Twister.

This one's called 12 Rounds.

Round 1- I took your house.

Round 2- I took Molly.

The only way to keep her alive-

you do exactly what I say when I say it.

If you're still standing after all 12 rounds,

well, then you'll have won her back.

You gotta be kidding me. You can't expect me

to believe that you're gonna keep-

Well-You'll believe

what I tell you to believe, Danny.

I don't think you've got much choice.

Okay. Round 3.

In 15 minutes I will be calling

a particular cell phone in the city.

Why don't you return to where we first met,

see if you can pick up my scent once again?

Okay, uh, Molly said she

was in a silver van, okay?

They can't be more

than six blocks from here.

- Put out an A.P.B., get a trace on Molly's cell.

- Okay.

[Miles's Voice]

... your name?

[Echoing]

Officer Fisher.

- [Dog Barking]

- I don't see anything.

I don't know.

Maybe we're in the wrong place.

No. This is where we stopped the car.

This is where it started.

And this is where he shot me in the ass.

But I don't see anything.

- How much time?

- Uh, we got 10 minutes.

I definitely think we're

in the wrong place, Danny.

No, wait. I could be wrong.

That's- That's not from Katrina.

- That's today's date.

- You're right.

That's a code. Uh-

We got degrees.

We got clocks.

Yeah, those aren't real clocks though.

There's-There's no hours.

Uh, countdown?

No, no, no. It's just, uh,

two degrees, two clocks.

Degrees, minutes, seconds.

"X."

Longitude and latitude. That's a location.

That's where we're gonna find the phone.

Longitude and latitude. How the hell
