Brake

thump!

thump!

- Uh!

What is this?

Oh, come on.

Morgan.

Oh, Jesus. Morgan!

Morgan?

Please, man.

You're taking this too far,

okay?

You're making it worse.

I have your money!

What do you think

I'm doing in New York?

I-I swear to you I came here

to settle up with you.

F***.

Please, man, just talk to me.

Can you hear me?

Okay.

All right, just calm down

and just breathe.

Breathe.

- Help, please.

Is anybody there?

Please help me.

Is anybody out there?

Somebody, anybody.

- I can hear you.

Can you hear me?

- What the hell is this?

I'm trapped.

I can't move.

I don't know who's doing this,

so-

I don't know who you are.

Look, if anybody can hear me,

I don't know

how long I've been here

or where I am.

I just want to get out.

- Something's here.

Hold on.

- I didn't do anything!

Help me, please!

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Please, somebody,

anybody, please.

- Hello, can you hear me?

- Yes!

Yes, yes, I can hear you.

I can-

- Who is this?

- Who are you?

I mean, why are you doing this

to me?

What do you want?

I haven't-

- All right, take it easy.

Tell me your name.

- Henry.

Henry Shaw.

Who the hell is this?

- Okay, Henry.

You have any idea where you are?

- No, I have no idea.

It's dark.

I can't see a thing.

I can't sit up.

There's barely enough room

to move around.

I can't breathe, okay?

I'm having trouble breathing.

And I hurt my hand

trying to get out.

I think I might have broken it.

- Are the walls smooth?

- Yeah, they're slick

like glass, okay?

And there are these numbers.

Please stop asking me

all these questions.

Just let me out of-

- Are they counting down?

- Yes, they're counting down.

What does it mean?

Am I gonna die?

- Just-

- Is this some kind of a-

- Stop.

Just read me your numbers.

- Okay, fine, fine.

2:
22, 2:21, 2:20.

Oh, Jesus Christ, is this it?

You gotta get me out of here!

- I wish I could, pal.

Looks like me and you

are in the same boat.

- What?

You're trapped too?

What-what is this?

- Pitch black.

Tight space, numbers, yeah.

- We're gonna die, aren't we?

'Cause the numbers

are still going down.

- Don't think about that now,

all right?

You need to try and relax.

I'm gonna get you out of there.

- Relax?

What, are you kidding me?

You're trapped too.

How the hell

are you gonna help me?

- I need information

to help us both.

Talk to me, Henry.

Are you a gambler?

- Um, I don't know.

Yeah, a little sometimes,

maybe Atlantic City.

I play some keno.

What does that have to do

with anything?

- Keno, huh?

At least lose your shirt

on a real man's game, Jesus.

- Oh, okay, I'm sorry.

What's a real man's game?

- Cards, Henry.

A real man screws up

playing cards.

- And that's what you think

this is about?

A gambling debt?

Listen, I don't know

what kind of trouble you're in,

but I don't owe anyone

anything, okay?

- Do you Know a man

named Dietrich Morgan?

- Who?

No, no, no, look.

I'm done playing 20 Questions.

We're running out of time here.

This is bullsh-

- Come on, man, the name.

Dietrich Morgan.

You ever heard that name before?

Just think hard, okay?

This is important.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't know anyone

by that name.

I'm positive.

Listen, you've got to figure

this out, okay?

I don't know how much longer

I can last in here.

Do you hear me?

- Just try and relax, Henry.

This radio's old, man.

It's ancient.

This frequency

can't travel very far.

We've got to be close together.

- okay.

Okay, so then

why is this happening?

- Shh.

Hold on.

I think I hear something.

- What is it?

What do you hear?

- Shut up!

Hello!

Help, somebody!

Anybody, if you can hear me,

I'm trapped!

Okay.

I'm going to figure this out.

clank!

- Okay, good.

Let's go.

- Oh, sh*t.

What the f...

Oh, what the...

Henry?

Henry, what's going on in there?

- I'm moving.

What the hell?

- Are you in the trunk

of a car?

'Cause I am.

- Yeah, yeah, I think so.

I'm in a car too.

Oh, man,

this can't be happening.

Please, this can't be-

- Listen to me, okay?

You remember anything?

You remember anything

about where you were

before you woke up?

- I was in New York, Manhattan.

I was at the Clarion Hotel

on Park Avenue.

Is that where you were?

Were-were you in New York?

- I can't tell you that

right now.

Okay, whoever's doing this to me

wants us communicating.

I gotta watch what I say,

and I can't explain it to you.

But I need to know

what you were doing in New York.

- It was a business trip.

- Okay, that's great.

I get that.

What kind of business?

Are you a broker, real estate,

lawyer?

- Just business.

- All right,

stop stonewalling me, man.

We're on the same team here.

F***!

- Okay, listen, I work

for the State Department.

I'm a foreign service officer

assigned to the NSC

in the White House ops center.

- F***. Henry-

Ah, f***.

Slow it down, a**hole!

Henry.

Henry, are you stopped?

- Yes.

- Okay, turn the radio off

for ten seconds.

Yell as loud as you can.

I want to see if I can hear you.

- That's a good idea.

Okay, here goes.

- Come on.

Did you yell?

- Yeah.

You didn't hear me?

Did you hear me?

Oh!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, what is this?

Lights just turned on.

It's a box.

I'm in a goddamn plastic box!

It's so bright.

I can see wires and tubes.

There's no way out of here.

What is this?

- Somebody f***ing with us,

that's what this is.

- Why?

- That's what

I'm gonna find out.

Hold on.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

Thanks a lot.

What the f***?

Oh, Jesus.

- Jeremy.

Jeremy?

Jeremy.

- How do you Know my name?

I never gave you my name.

- I just got a piece of paper,

and it says,

"The man in the other car

has the answer to a question."

It says your name is Jeremy.

- Listen, Henry.

I can't answer that question.

- You can't or you won't?

- It doesn't matter.

I can't say anything.

- No, Jeremy, please.

If it will get us out of here,

I need you to tell them.

Please?

I have a family, Jeremy-

a wife, two kids.

Please, just-

I want this to be over.

- How do I know you're not

the one who put me in here, huh?

How do I Know you're not the one

driving the f***ing car?

- If I was driving the car,

you'd hear me, wouldn't you?

I didn't put you in there,

and I'm not driving the car.

Look, I'm stuck in a trunk too,

remember?

I'm not the bad guy here,

Jeremy.

- I'm sorry.

I can't trust anyone or anything

right now.

- Jeremy, you have to bel-

click!

- What the hell is going on?

This wire goes here.

Tube goes through there.

Oh, Jesus.

Is this sh*t for real?

Damn.

Okay, you want to f*** with me?

Channel 19.

Let's give this a try.

Hello.

Hello.

Can anybody hear me?

Can anybody read me

on this frequency?

If anyone can hear me,

please, please help me.

Come on.

- Hey, you okay, there?

Who am I talkin' to?

- You can hear me.

- Barely.

You're kinda breakin' up.

The name's Bob.

Who's this?

- It's Jeremy.

Uh, my name's Jeremy.
