By Any Means Page #2

It doesn't matter.

Just figure out how to get

the money together.

You can go right back to

your Gucci f***ing handbags.

Don't you dare f***ing judge me.

You think I have it so easy?

You have no idea

how hard my life is.

You have no idea the sh*t

that I have to put up with.

Shut the f*** up.

Excuse me? Hello?

I need to use the bathroom.

I have to go.

Please?

You understand

what's at stake here.

Don't do anything stupid.

- No.

- What?

I can't risk it.

What are you doing in there?

I thought you had to go.

Yeah, I do.

Look, I can't go if

you're standing outside.

Would you give me a minute?

You have one minute.

Hello? Hey, what's up?

I'm working on it.

I'm doing the best I can, okay?

I've got a plan.

Look, I'll get it. I'll transfer

some more over tonight.

Is she listening to this?

Rachel, I told you not to talk

about this in front of her.

Yes, she does.

Look, I can't talk right now.

I'll call you back.

I'm done.

Have you heard anything?

What did Phil say?

He's gonna see what he can do.

Why are you doing this?

It's none of

your f***ing business.

- It is.

- Don't concern yourself.

All you need to know

is I need the money.

If you explain to me,

maybe I can help you.

I don't need help.

I need cash.

Get me out of here!

Get that thing away from me!

I want to go home.

Can't allow that to happen.

I'll help you get the money.

I won't press any charges.

Let me make your stay here

more comfortable.

I'll get you some more blankets.

I don't want any more

f***ing bedding!

I want to go home!

Why are you doing this?

If you're in

a difficult situation,

there are other ways.

Talk to me.

I could help you.

I'm not f***ing stupid.

I know what

you're trying to do here.

You want to talk

on a personal level

so I can see you as a person

and then we from some sort

of emotional connection.

But that's not happening.

You are nothing more to me

than the ticket

to solving my problems.

I don't want to lose

my Patience.

Let's keep this simple.

Are you okay?

I swear, when this is over

you'll never see my face again.

I want to go home.

I'm not meant to be here.

This isn't what I wanted.

Look, it's getting late.

Are you hungry?

I can heat up some soup

or you can put

something together.

I don't cook.

Okay, guess

we head upstairs now.

- But I need you to...

- I know.

All right.

Am I allowed to know your name?

It's frank.

This way.

There's some eggs and bacon

in the fridge.

An omelet?

Can I help with anything?

It's okay.

Have you heard anything?

From the agent?

No, not yet.

Why $123,000?

Because that's what I need.

Anything over that,

you can keep.

Well, I won't need it.

Do you have a whisk?

The drawer to your right.

That's a nice photo.

I'm sure you know

a lot about nice photos.

Look.

If you want, you can sleep

in my room tonight.

I'll stay on the couch.

You'll be more comfortable.

Thanks.

I'm gonna go get the bedding.

F***!

And you never left the house?

No.

He kept me locked up.

I tried to run away.

You tried to run away,

but what happened?

I wasn't fast enough.

I was so scared.

It's okay, Mimi.

Just take a minute.

Sarge, I need a word.

Sorry, it's urgent.

Please! Save me!

Please help me!

- Hey, what's wrong?

- Please help me!

It's okay. It's okay.

I've got you.

I've been kidnapped!

There's a man...

Okay! Calm down!

- I'll look after you.

- Can you call the cops?

- He has my phone, please.

- Shh. Wait a minute.

Do I know you?

You look familiar.

- My name is Mimi Wyatt.

- Mimi Wyatt? No way!

What is a pretty girl doing out

on her own in a place like this?

There are

some bad people around.

- Get your hands off me.

- I'll look after you.

- Get off me, get off me!

- Hey, don't... don't...

Don't scream.

Don't scream.

Oh, what the f***?

I'm just trying to help!

Gah! You little b*tch!

You okay?

You all right?

What the hell were you thinking?

What are you doing out here?

We had a deal!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Let me help you up.

Give me your hand.

Sorry.

Come on.

Here.

- Get some rest.

- Are you mad at me?

Of course not.

Mimi, I want you to know,

I would never hurt you.

That's not why I'm doing this.

But I can't keep you safe

if you run away.

I'll be right downstairs.

- What's up?

- Press is outside.

They want a statement.

We need to move on this fast.

Absolutely no statements

whatsoever.

- Who tipped them off about her?

- I don't know.

Could have been

any one of the guys.

Maybe even the driver.

Sh*t.

Mimi, are you up?

You're gonna be okay, Mimi.

I'd like to take a shower.

It's simple.

Metal knob is

for water pressure,

left and right are temperature.

- I got it.

- Okay. I'll leave you to it.

- Did you mean what you said?

- About what?

The money.

Yeah. Anything over

what I need is yours.

But you have to cooperate.

Phil, did you get the money?

You've had 24 hours. What

are you... what do you mean?

What? That's bullshit!

It should have been

done by now! F***!

- F***! F***!

- Hey, what's wrong?

It isn't working.

He can't get the money!

I know why you're doing this.

I get it.

It's totally wrong

and completely unfair.

I have an idea.

Come in.

Yes, miss Thomas?

I've used up all my favors

for the year

and rented out this body

till the year 2020,

so you owe me big time.

I believe this is

what you're waiting for.

Where's miss Wyatt now?

She's upstairs in the staff room

resting with detective Hayes.

It's like a zoo up there.

I've never seen so many guys

wanting to volunteer

after shift.

Keep an eye on her.

And put back the press

for another couple of hours.

Copy that.

So how much can you actually

get from these interviews?

I got $30,000 for an exclusive

"after the love house" show.

65 for my interview about my

relationship with Branning.

But this is bigger.

We're looking

at no less than 150.

So we need to get Phil

to sell the exclusive story

- to the highest bidder.

- You can get that much?

I know a girl

who got nearly 200,000

because she had photos of her on

a date with a married senator.

If you think it can work,

it's worth a shot.

So, how old is she?

I don't want to talk about that.

I want to know

about your daughter.

- And it might help.

- It changes nothing.

I don't like... I don't like

talking about her being ill.

Sorry.

Would you like

to see a photo of her?

There are still options?

If we could afford them.

Everolimus could work,

and there are some

new untried drugs,

but our insurance won't cover.

And what chance

will that give her?

50-50. 60-40 maybe.

- What about you?

- Me?

I'm gonna be locked up

for a long time.

I never wanted to get you

involved in all this.

It wasn't planned.

You got into my cab

that night and passed out,

and I just found myself

driving here

before I knew it.

But how will you see her again?

I won't.

Ever.

I can't imagine anyone

loving me that much.

Why do you think that is?

- What?

- You have a reputation
