I don't know

what you're talking about.

You want to play roulette,

you go to Vegas, right?

Try Atlantic City

if you don't like to fly.

I don't Know what to tell you.

- I'm glad you still have

your sense of humor.

But I'm on a schedule,

Agent Reins,

and very soon,

my patience will run out.

- God damn it.

Oh, God.

Ah, f***.

Henry, are you still with me?

- Jeremy, is that you?

I thought you were gone.

- No.

No, still here.

They gave me a shot.

They saved my life.

- Why would they do that?

I don't understand.

- Look, if we're going to

find out what's going on here,

I need to Know

everything you Know.

- All I know is, this has

something to do with Roulette.

- What do you Know about that?

- I know

it's an underground bunker

where the president,

vice president,

and the national security

advisor are all taken

if there's ever an attack

on Washington.

After 9/11, they built

a series of bunkers.

The go-to bunker is changed

randomly without notice.

Only a handful of people

ever know which one it is

on any given day.

That's why they call it

Roulette.

- How do you Know that?

- I told you earlier.

I'm with the State Department,

Jeremy.

- No, you never mentioned that

to me.

- Yeah, I did.

I'm assigned to the NSC

and the ops center.

I work in the White House.

I was in New York

for a briefing at the UN.

- Well, you never mentioned that

to me before, man.

- Yeah, I tried to tell you

earlier, but you cut me off.

You didn't trust anything

I said, remember?

Please, Jeremy.

Look, I'm just try-

- Okay.

All right, is Dave Lao still

the senior NSA rep

in the ops center?

- What, you're quizzing me?

Yeah, Brian Nolan replaced him

in the ops center

two years ago.

Dave Lao went to the Pentagon,

Sec. Def.'s office.

- Okay, you work

in the ops center.

I want to Know what paintings

are hanging

in the conference room.

- Oh, that's a trick question.

There are no paintings

in there.

Jeremy, please, come on.

I'm just a State Department

attach.

I'm not cut out for this.

I'm just trying to stay alive

and keep my family safe.

- Stop talking.

The best thing you can do

is to be quiet.

- They know

where my family lives.

You think I'm going to lay here

in this trunk and give up?

No way.

Look, I'm not gonna do that.

- Yes, you are,

'cause that's your duty.

Your duty's

to keep your mouth shut.

When you joined State,

you took an oath.

Don't forget that, man.

- Do you have any kids, Jeremy?

- No.

No, I don't.

We, uh-

me and my wife got separated

three months ago.

We were just about to try.

It was definitely in the cards.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah, me too.

I was just trying to make things

right with us too.

I mean, that's why I was

in New York.

That's why I went there:

to set things straight with

this guy I owed money to, and...

How many kids you got, Henry?

- I have two, seven and nine.

Boys.

We were supposed to go

on vacation in a few weeks

to Disney World.

My boys love

the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

I can't stand roller caasters,

but right now-

right now,

all I can think about

is making it out of here

in one piece

so I can ride

the roller caaster with them,

you understand?

- Yeah.

I hope you get that chance, man.

I...

I really do.

You hear sirens?

- Yeah, it sounds like

they just passed me.

- They passed you?

- Yeah.

- Pull over to the right.

- Damn it,

I told you to slow down.

We're screwed.

- Just relax and play it cool.

And make sure

he stays quiet back there.

- You so much as sneeze,

we cut your wife's head off

and mail it to her parents.

- What are you doing?

Put the f***ing gun away.

- You created this problem.

Now let me handle it.

- Come on, think.

- Act normal.

Let me do the talking, now.

We'll get a ticket,

and we'll be out of here.

Shut up.

Here he comes.

- You gentlemen in a hurry?

- I'm real sorry, officer.

We're late for a meeting.

I guess

I wasn't paying attention.

- This your car?

- Yes, sir, it is.

Here's my license

and registration.

- Hang tight, okay?

- Remember, not a f***ing sound,

or she dies.

- Oh, come on.

Come on.

- Today's your lucky day.

Take it a little slower

next time.

- Thank you, officer.

- I'm in here!

- What the-

- Help!

Somebody get me out of here!

- Put your hands

where I can see 'em.

No!

- I need backup!

No!

God damn it!

Ah!

I'm okay.

Oh, sh*t.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Motherf***er.

Come on.

Oh, I got it.

Yeah.

beep!

- Marco.

Marco, where are you?

I need an answer, an update.

Give me an answer.

- Marco can't come to the phone

right now.

- Who is this?

- Who the f*** is this?

Ah, Agent Reins.

I don't know how you got ahold

of this phone,

but I'm glad you could join us.

Molly sends you her love.

- F***.

Come on.

Oh, come on, answer.

- Hi, this is Molly.

I can't get to the phone

right now,

so leave a message,

and I'll call you back.

beep!

- Molly!

Molly, I got a phone back here.

Please call me at this number

soon as you can.

F***!

- Duty desk, please hold.

- No, wait, wait.

Hello?

Oh, sh*t.

- You have reached the

United States Secret Service-

- F***.

Okay.

- 911, what is your emergency?

- Hello, listen to me carefully.

My name is Jeremy Reins.

I'm a special agent for the

United States Secret Service.

I'm being held captive

in the trunk of a car.

I need help.

- Okay, Jeremy, just stay calm.

Where are you calling from?

- Listen, lady, I just told you.

I'm calling from inside

the trunk of a car.

- Okay, sir, I understand.

I'm going to help you.

Are you injured?

- It doesn't matter right now.

Look, my phone is about to die.

I called my office several

times; I can't reach them.

Please reach the Secret Service.

Tell them what's happening.

- Sir, do you know

where you were

when you were put in the trunk?

- I was in New York City.

I was coming out

of a restaurant.

It was night.

It was late.

Um, that's it.

That's all I remember.

- Did you say New York City,

sir?

- Yes, why?

- This is the Baltimore

Emergency Communication Center.

You're calling from inside

our response zone.

- Baltimore?

All right, look,

you gotta find me.

You gotta find out where I am,

please. Now.

Right now.

- Sir, I need you to try

and stay calm.

Can you tell me what kind of

phone you're calling on?

- Uh...

it's an LG.

It's old.

It's a flip, flip phone.

- Sir, if your phone's GPS

capability has been disabled,

we're going to have to

triangulate your position

through the cell towers

to pinpoint your location.

- How close can you get?

- Depending

on the signal strength,

a three- to six-mile radius.

- Three to six miles?

I could be in f***ing Kansas,

for all we Know.

- Sir, we're going to do

the very best we can.

Just stay on the line with me,

and I'll be right back.

- Okay.

F***.

Ah!

Hello!

Anybody hear me?

Hello!

Where's your owner, buddy?

Who you with, huh?

- Sir?

Sir, are you all right?

Jeremy, are you still with me?
