Call them.

Tell them they can keep my money.

But he goes with me.

Tom, I'm on your side.

I can make this work

if you just listen to sense.

Explain to them this situation.

Oh, this is madness.

Just madness.

Yes.

Yes.

He wants to leave.

With him.

Oh, yes, I explained that.

Very well, I'll tell him.

Listen, they're still on the line.

They're prepared to let you go.

Alone. Now.

Listen to me.

You will never

leave this building alive.

Never.

Take the offer and go.

You haven't seen them.

You can't identify them.

Right this minute, you're no threat.

But if you take this further,

that will not be the case.

Why can't we just go?

We're not gonna say anything.

We're not gonna call the cops.

You haven't been listening, have you?

These are the cops.

No.

- I'm taking him with me.

- Oh, Tom, for God's sake.

Tell them.

Tell them you accept the offer.

To buy time. He's right.

If you say we're leaving,

they're gonna come and kill us both.

Okay.

He agrees. Alone.

Give me a minute. I'll call you back.

Now what?

Lock the door.

You're good with a bat.

How good are you

with a sledgehammer?

I don't think

you're gonna make it, Tom.

- How many of them are there?

- Five or six, at least.

We gotta go.

Come on, come on, quickly.

- So, what happens to you?

- I don't know.

I'll manage somehow.

Mr. Archer.

- Mr. Archer, open the door.

- Open the door.

Mr. Archer, open up this door now.

Come on.

Keep moving.

Bring that son of a b*tch out.

Move it.

Move.

- They killed Heller.

- Forget it.

Hey, can you call out

on your phone?

No.

- Did they give it to you?

- Yeah.

Destroy it. They can track us with it.

They come with GPS.

Come here. Help me.

We have to get out of here.

Okay.

- Let me have your gun.

- What?

- Give me the gun.

- No.

Give it to me, please.

You said you don't know

how to use it. I do.

I'm not gonna point it at you.

I'm gonna point it at them.

Trust me.

Give me the gun.

Thank you.

Get down.

Get the gun.

Where are they?

They're down there.

And they lost a weapon.

They have to think about this

for a little while.

You're pretty good with a gun

for a mechanic.

Lucky shot.

So, what do we do now?

You motherf***er. I should f*** you up

for what you did to me tonight.

I should f*** you up big-time.

- I thought that...

- You thought? Right. You did not know.

You thought.

- They told me...

- They told you?

You were going to kill me

for what someone else told you?

Something you wanted

to believe so bad.

And I would have f***ing died for it.

Now.

Tell me, how does it feel?

How does it feel?

You're right.

For what happened to my family,

I would have killed you.

Go ahead.

Kill me. You've earned it.

All right.

I need a break.

You said you had a son?

Yeah.

What's his name?

Stephen.

How old is he?

He's 7, I think. No.

Wait. He's... He's 9.

He's 9.

Do you live with him?

No.

When is the last time you saw him?

Come on.

I don't think this

is any of your business.

- I was just...

- Just drop it.

We need each other to get out of here

but that's where it ends.

No more questions.

No more bullshit.

No more small talk, okay?

Okay.

Good.

What time is it?

It's almost 3:
00.

When they brought you in,

did you see the size of the place?

It's huge. It's some sort of

abandoned industrial complex.

Did you see anything else?

They had a hood over my head

until I got outside.

So nothing else?

Just...

...they've got security cameras

everywhere.

Your friend said...

...that there's,

like, six of them, right?

He said there were five or six.

Four, maybe five.

That's good.

Why is that good?

Five people can never lock

this place down.

That's why it's good.

Did you see anything

when they brought you in?

I told you back in the room.

- I wasn't lying.

- I didn't say you were.

Right.

You seem to know

how these guys think.

They play it the way I'd play it.

It's common sense.

For you, maybe. Not for me.

Maybe we should just stay here.

We've got cover.

We just wait and pick them off.

Wait for them to come?

Well, what if they don't come?

You said this place is abandoned.

We stay in this room...

...we die in this room.

Our only chance is to get moving.

We have to find a way out of here.

What's your E TA down there?

Roger that now.

Stay.

- Are you almost done?

- Give me five.

You want this back?

I'll take this one.

Get the radio.

Unit 5.

Five, do you read me?

Five, if you can read me,

you're squelching, over.

What is this, a bomb?

Sort of.

It's gasoline.

They wanna burn us out.

Hey, hey. Do you know

what you're doing?

No.

I was a soldier once.

So close your eyes.

Where do we go now?

I have no idea.

Archer.

Archer.

This has gone far enough.

If you cooperate now, we'll let you go.

Mr. Archer, come out now and live.

We want what's best.

Come out and we'll finish

what you started.

Mr. Archer.

Go. Go.

Mr. Archer, your time is up.

Do you understand me?

Mr. Archer, no more f***ing around.

- You're all right?

- Yeah, you?

If you don't come out now...

...after we kill you,

we're gonna kill your wife.

Do you understand me?

You are your wife's only hope.

Show yourself and you're gonna end up

like Heller back there.

Mr. Archer,

am I talking to a dead man?

When they come at us...

...just use short bursts, okay?

What happened?

I hit him.

You think? Or are you sure?

I got him.

Good.

Hey, you're all right, you're alive

and we're almost done here.

There's maybe three or two left.

And one is back down there

but he's hurt.

I got him in the neck.

Hey, I'm not moving anywhere.

So it's all on you now.

Together, we can manage

to get out of here.

But, first, you have to finish him off.

Okay?

Now move.

Why?

Why did you do this?

You wanted justice.

You wanted me to find the man,

remember?

It wasn't him.

F*** you. He's a piece of sh*t.

I gave you a way out.

You had an opportunity

to find peace...

...and make the world a better place

at the same time for everyone else.

You f***ed it up.

You f***ed up everything.

Don't.

You can't do it.

Don't.

You're not gonna do it.

F***ing coward.

Here.

I got you a present.

What about you?

I can run, you can't.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

Do you remember this boy?

You don't remember killing my son?!

- You gotta help me.

- Come here, sweetie.

Help me.

What am I supposed to do?

I don't think this is the man

who murdered my son.

- Your turn, tiger. Say, "Bye, Daddy."

- Bye, Dad.

Your son.

I could not imagine.

They want me dead

and they used you.

I'm really sorry.

Who are you, really?

You don't wanna know.

You have a beautiful son.

Yeah.

We gotta get out of here.

Hey, come here.

I found another one.

Sh*t.

Go.

Come on. Come on.

Move.

Is that what this is about?

This is about the money?

Well, which answer do you want?

The real one?

Or the one you prefer to hear?

No, it's me. Kill them.

They're down there. Down the tunnel.

- Well, I wasn't expecting you.
