Captivity Page #3

- Not with them.

It wouldn't last,

things are what they are.

It's the tapes and the books

that make it better.

Make it last forever.

- Right?

- Yes, sir.

You got a good system,

you stick with it.

She wants me to be with her.

What about me?

You could do this without me.

Well, that wouldn't be

quite the same now, would it?

We have a pattern.

You can't change that,

even if we wanted to.

Death, that's where the buzz is.

The redemption.

The rest is preliminaries.

So get the plastic bags.

- Help me clean up.

- No.

I want to do it myself this time.

That I would like to see.

You don't believe I could do it?

This girl's special, Ben.

I feel like it's only right

that I should do it.

So you want to prove yourself,

little brother? Okay.

Okay. Just as well

we do it right now. Ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Hello?

Yes?

NYPD. Mr. Dexter?

Which Mr. Dexter do you want?

Benjamin Dexter.

Is he home?

Ah, no. I can

tell him you stopped by.

You are?

I'm his brother.

Oh, like the truck says.

Dexter Brothers, right?

Yeah.

So you gonna open the door,

Mr. Dexter?

Knock off the hinges...

You two always lived together?

No. This was our parents' house.

My brother lives here.

That's a pretty bad cut

you got there, man.

All right?

Oh God, yeah, football...

Go ahead, you were saying?

I'm staying here a few days, while

my apartment is being refurnished.

Where would that be?

Queens.

Hey, your sink

doesn't work in there.

Yeah, I know, my brother

doesn't use this floor too much.

So you guys want

to tell me why you're here?

We're investigating

a missing person.

It's a woman.

Here's her picture.

Pretty girl.

How can I help?

We just need to check on everyone

that works for Dexter's Catering.

Two minutes, man.

Couple of questions

and we're outta here in no time.

Yeah, sure. Do you guys

want a drink or something?

Sure, you got any ice tea?

Yeah, I think I do.

- You?

- Anything.

Okay. Excuse me.

Take your time.

We thought we'd save you the trip.

Sure.

So then, you're not in the catering

business with your brother then?

Well I help him out once

and awhile when he's in a pinch.

Like Tuesday night?

Club Shine?

No, I wasn't there.

You weren't there at all?

Nope.

Okay. Here's my card.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

Oh, you know what,

the playoff game is on channel 9.

- It's the last quarter.

- That's right.

Do you mind if we check

the score real quick?

Channel 9?

Yeah.

That's great.

Maybe your brother will be back

by the time the game is over.

Hey, look at this, we're winning.

All right.

This roaches sh*t...

Get the f*** outta here.

Look at this f***in' sh*t.

It's me, you got to wake up,

Jennifer. Jennifer.

You got to wake up, okay? Jennifer,

there's not much time, okay, honey?

You got to wake up, it's over.

Over...

It's over.

What's over?

This.

There's no one

to keep us here anymore.

How?

I killed them.

Them?

There was two of them.

I killed them.

Oh, my God!

They underestimated me. One of them

came in, I was ready for him.

And I got his gun.

Where are they?

They're upstairs. Come on.

They're really dead?

You strong enough to walk?

If you hold on to me...

Listen to me. I'm not

letting go of you. Not ever.

Where are we?

This is some old house.

I haven't been outside.

Don't worry.

- Did you call the Police?

- Not yet.

- Where's the phone?

- I don't know.

Come on.

There's the phone.

Not yet. Sit down.

I think these sadistic f***ers

were taping us.

And I want to find those tapes.

If they get into

the wrong hands...

Okay?

Gary!

Gary!

He was alive!

You did what you had to do.

He had a gun. He woulda...

Jen, listen to me.

You did nothing wrong.

He had a gun.

I should never have left you alone.

Maybe you should come with me.

Don't touch anything.

No, the phones are dead,

we need to call for help.

Suppose they don't believe us...

Believe what?

That we had to kill them.

There isn't any choice.

I think there is.

We just leave.

Leave?

Just walk out.

Just tell no One.

There's nothing to connect us

to these f***ing people.

What about the fingerprints

and the tapes?

Well, I could wipe

this place down in 5 minutes.

I'll take the tapes,

could burn them too.

Gary...

You go home, and tell

everybody the truth,

that you fell in love with a guy

and ran away with him for a week.

If we live that,

people will believe it.

That simple.

We walk away.

Sit down.

Now wait right here, Okay?

Don't even think

about what you just did.

Now in a few minutes more,

we're going to be outta here.

Beg.

I need you to help me clean up.

You belong to me.

Yeah.

Show me.

You see?

Yeah.

F***!

F***!

It's not dark.

It's not dark.

You're a naughty girl.

Don't be stupid.

Where are you going to go?

Come on, you couldn't even

find yourself in broad daylight.

Come on.

There's no one coming for you.

Give up.

Jennifer!

There's nowhere

to go, Jennifer.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jen.

F***!

What's real, Gary? Huh?

Put it down, Jennifer.

Put it down.

You see...

You got out of your prison.

That's more than you

can say... about me.

Not even in... that.
