Elevator Page #3

---

I thought I've been here in the restroom by now.

What you wanna do?

It's not that nice of a bag really.

What does your bag have to do?

Do you mind if I'll just squeezing

into this corner right here?

Where you really go.

Thank you.

Ok.

Thanks.

Thank you.

- Here you go.

This is good, ehm...

Can I just, do me a favor, just hold your arm?

just to keep me up for a second?

You know, I'll just do it myself

I dont wanna be doing here.

I promise.

How about...how about this?

Thanks, Martin.

- No problem.

Hey, no problem.

Thank you.

What she's doing? She can't do that

in here, make her stop Grandpa.

Don't look.

- There it is.

Never do when people watching.

Ew, I can hear it.

Well, its better than

pee on the floor, isn't it?

Now they're not answer them.

I can smell it.

- Be quiet.

I can't.

Okay, we're good. -Yeah?

We're good.

Oh good, I never care much

for my dignity anyway.

No, it's fine, it's fine...

I am so.. sorry about that everybody.

- No, it's fine, it's fine...

I really feel much...

much better now.

Our son Geoff died in Iraq.

Could someone help me up, please?

Thank you.

Our son Geoff died in Iraq.

They practically killed

my husband, Neill,...

He and Geoff very close, and...

He...

It basically took his spirit...

We were going to buy a boat,

when he retired.

He was always studying

these boat magazines.

That's what cut him through, really.

Didn't he get one?

Barton Investments

lost all of our money.

Redding, your husband Neill Redding?

- Yes.

Called me up 6 months ago,

he wanted his money back.

and he screamed at me

and said I've ruined his life.

Part those endeavor junk bonds from us.

Not we advice to our clients to bought,

No one could see what

was around the corner.

It's just one of those things.

My husband shot

himself in the head.

After my child, my son,

he was my whole life.

Really sorry, I mean no matter how much

that we know it's still just a gamble...

You can't blame me or...us.

He trusted you.

He trusted you, to do the right thing.

He trusted you...

Don't mean to sound careless, but

it's always the investor's decision.

And then I heard that you got

the 75 million dollars payout !

Sleazy bastards.

It wasn't fair.

Life isn't fair.

No,it isn't.

Life is sh*t.

So why are you here, Mrs. Redding?

If it were me, this is the last

place that I would wanna be.

I hope this is okay.

I give it back if you changed your mind.

I started the timer.

Thank you.

I'm....running out of time.

I just wanted to deliver a message.

I didn't know that the elevator

was going to be stuck.

What was the message?

- That's a...

Jane, what's wrong?

She needs help.

Jane?

Jane, breathe.

What's wrong?

- I think a heart attack.

She needs help.

- I'll call 911.

Jane?

Help her ! Help her !

911, What can I help you ?

She...she can't breathe.

I don't wanna die in an elevator.

- Oh, you're not gonna die.

You're not gonna die.

- Believe she's having a heart attack.

Ok, what is your location?

- I have a bomb.

Did she just say she has a bomb?

-Excuse me?

She said she has a bomb.

Who has a bomb?

- The woman.

I don't think she's breathing.

She's gone.

- You know maybe she has stroke?

I was medic in the army.

She's dead.

You tell them we need to

get out of here right now.

They need to fix this right now.

Tell them.

Cos we have a medic,

that's how we know.

Hello? Answer me...

- Redding...

Jane Redding.

We need help!

They're sending emergency services.

God damn it, where are these people.

Now they're not answering.

This is unacceptable, they have a job to do.

- You pissed them off, Henry.

We didnt lose their money,

they've lost their own money.

We're not responsible for client's

decision. We facilitate it.

You got blood on your hand man, -Shut up..

throw me off the elevator.

This is ridiculous. Where this 70 years old

woman gonna get a bomb.

Her son died in Iraq...

- 70, maybe 70.

Help me through it. - I don't know.

Tell me what you see.

What she told us

we just met her.

She only said that...

- How do you know she has a bomb?

That what she said. Jane Redding

from Cleveland, just before she died.

Have you called 911?

- We're talking to 911 now.

What different does that make? 70, maybe 70.

-This is big, can you stream on your phone?

I'm fine.

I can do it, I'll start streaming.

-Well it's not obvious, a...

I dont...if...

She has a purse.

Why dont we check for bomb?

Its not to overreact.

We need to keep our wits.

Get the f*** here and do something.

There's 9 of us including CEO

Henry Barton and his granddaughter.

Really, with the camera?

- Minutes ago, Jane Redding...

An investor at Barton, died of a heart attack.

She told us she has a bomb.

There is no bomb. She was upset, because

an investment went wrong.

You see this sort of thing on the news.

-How Barton checks...

Because she's the one who after

him anyway.

You are a security guard,

it's your job.

I'm not trained for bombs.

There's experts for that.

You're the f***ing

expert, so do it.

I'll check it.

Celine Fouquet, bond trader,

an expected mother...

has volunteered to check Redding

for any explosive device.

Am I just open it up, or...

- Yea.

It can't be so sensitive right? I mean

she's been carrying it around all night.

Damn it God, dammit.

Looks like there's a wallet in here.

How do you know it's just a wallet?

Maybe it does look like a wallet..

In case my camera didn't pick that up,

there's a huge sigh of relief.

There's no bomb?

- No bomb, sweety.

Mrs. Redding just had

a few problems, that's all.

Her husband just blew his brains out.

- Why do you insist on being so obnoxious?

My granddaughter's 10 years old.

Do you think she needs to hear that?

No any of us knows what happened to

Mr. Redding. She could've made it all up.

For all we know he could be sitting in

Queens and drinking a beer and watching TV.

Sounds good to me.

So we get this thing move,

I'm starving...

They lose their money

and homes and what do they do?

Oh, for God's sake.

It's a good job Celine.

What is that?

Neill Redding,

tragic victim of the collapsed economy.

It says here that he shot himself.

So she wasn't making that up.

Happy now?

It doesn't mean anything.

Miss Fouquet checked her purse.

Wait, no, if that's true, then...

I think we..we should check under...

Under her dress, under her blouse,

Isn't that what they do?

How do I know what 'they' do.

I'm not a suicide bomber ok?

I don't know any suicide bombers.

I never touch or even seen

a real bomb in my life.

I'm an American, just like you.

Feel better now?

I asked, because you're in the army.

I am not taking her clothes off.

Okay, then just like a feel around,

like the police do.

I dont have any experience

with what the police do, Martin.

We've learned a lot

about you, Martin.

No, look, just run your

hands over her body.

We gotta to find out.

Jesus Christ.

When did I starting grow balls ?
