Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

One million dollars or no deal.

I don't have a million dollars.

My son is six years

old you motherf***er.

You can die here.

Or we can go to town.

Call one of your rich

friends get my money

and your family lives.

I'll get money,

just get us off the island

and I'll get you

a million dollars.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Good.

Wake up.

Where's my... where's my wife,

and my... and my son?

My son?

Back on the island.

Why? We agreed.

Listen to me.

We have to go to the bank

and transfer the money.

And then we go back

to the island with

the second boat so you

can get your family.

But they don't have any water.

They had enough water,

listen carefully.

Think about your family,

your family is on the line.

You do anything stupid your

family's gonna die okay?

- Why are you doing this?

- By the morning

they're gonna die.

- Shut the f*** up.

- Don't do anything stupid.

Don't tell the police

or anyone else,

because if you do

I won't tell anyone anything.

I will say this guy is a liar.

Turn around go back, please.

Turn around and go back, please.

I swear to god,

I'll still pay you the money.

Just take me back, please.

I swear to god I'll

still give you the money.

I'll give you the money!

Let's make sure you do that.

So I'm in town

and I'm coming right now.

Okay, alright.

Just make sure you text me

the account number right away.

Yeah.

Okay, good.

All right, don't mess with me,

man, I'm on the way right now.

Jorge!

Bye.

There are thousands

of islands back there.

I am the only one

who knows where your family is.

So don't do anything stupid.

Here, clean up.

Jimmy, it's Kevin.

I'm in a lot of trouble,

I need money today.

I don't even have time to

talk about this right now

but you have to do something

for me immediately.

I can't tell you right now.

It's about Andy and Julie.

Just wire it.

You have my bank information,

just get it to me.

Put me in with

Dr. zett's office, please.

Can't talk about it right now,

I'm in a bad situation.

What do you mean?

Nine zero five six

four nine eight three.

Hello, can you hear me?

I need money.

No, no, no, no, not next week,

it has to be now.

Richard, Richard, Richard,

I've been waiting

on the phone for

you for ten minutes.

Ten minutes I've been

sitting here waiting for you.

No, no, no, no, no,

I cannot wait.

I cannot wait!

Yes!

Get him on the phone,

get him on the phone!

F***!

Lucas, Lucas, it's... it's

Kevin, can you hear me?

Listen, I know that

you always said that

you wanted to repay me

for what I did for Margie.

Well, now's the day.

Take me to the bank.

How can I help you?

I need to check my account.

Can I have your card?

Thank you, Mr. Riley.

Anything else I can

do for you today?

Have a good day.

This wasn't the deal.

You can either

take that money now

or you can take nothing!

If you don't take my money,

if you don't tell me where

my wife and my child are,

you're gonna be looking

over your shoulder

for the rest of your short,

agonizing, miserable life,

because I'm gonna take your face

and break it in half with my

f***ing hands you understand me?

I need to know that

we have a deal.

Transfer it.

Anything else?

Thank you.

- Hello, again.

- Hi.

I want to transfer to

that account number please.

- The whole amount?

- The entire balance.

Sure thing.

Yeah. Wired two minutes ago,

you got it?

Okay, okay, we're good.

Okay, it's good.

Okay, come.

You can follow us in this one.

Hey, why are you locking me in?

Okay, for your own

safety and everyone's.

Don't communicate with anyone.

- Open... open the door!

- Listen, listen.

When we get to the

island I will let you out

but first you have

to wait one hour

after we leave, then you leave.

- No, open it up!

- Don't worry.

Hey, hey, I don't know how to

get back, it's gonna be dark!

Okay, Jorge, let's go.

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey! Hey, what are you doing?

Why are you doing this?

I gave you all that money.

I swear on my son's life I will

never tell anyone about this.

You got the money.

What are you doing?

Jorge, back, back, go back!

Back, back.

I will tell you, stay back.

Please!

I paid you the money!

I gave you everything I have.

Why are you doing this?

Please just take me

back to my family.

I swear to god

I'll never tell anybody.

How do I know you won't

tell your government?

I won't tell anybody, I swear.

You'll tell your government

and they can

look for me and arrest me,

you think I'm stupid?

No.

I'll never tell anybody, please!

Don't let them die!

Don't you let them die!

Please!

You've got the money!

Do not leave my

family on that island!

Please!

Don't you let them die!

Hey, grab

the lifesaver, grab it.

Pull him in, pull him in now.

Mr. Riley,

detective constable haagen.

We spoke on the phone.

The us embassy

has been notified,

and the us coast guard captain

will guide you through

the rescue plan.

- How's your leg?

- I'll live.

Now we're right here,

and these are the islands

where you most likely made

your initial landfall,

and then you drifted

at sea for at least

one full day and night

more likely going

north northeast following

the prevailing currents.

They move at about four,

four and a half knots.

That potentially

takes us out another

150 nautical miles

from these islands.

We have an initial search area.

It's about 2,000 square miles,

roughly the same size as

the state of Delaware.

And inside that

search area there are

hundreds of islands and keys.

We can do this, it's just

gonna take some time.

Okay, realistically how long

to search the entire area?

A major search and rescue operation

like this can take weeks.

Weeks? They're gonna be dead

before the sun rises, weeks?

Mr. Riley,

the ships are in preparation

to deploy in about three hours.

And that's gonna

put us at this first

chain of islands

just before dawn.

Don't helicopters have lights?

Yeah, but it's virtually

impossible to spot

two unconscious people

on an unknown island

in the dark,

even with night vision.

There's nothing

we can do right now.

What about the fisherman?

We have to focus on your family

and then we'll

find the fisherman.

Why don't we go for

the fisherman right now?

Let's talk alone, please.

How do you suppose

we get this guy?

You don't know his name,

you don't know the

vessel hull number.

I told you on the

phone his name is Jorge.

Jorge.

Mr. Riley, be realistic.

Most likely, Jorge,

is a Cuban migrant.

Most deckhands are immigrant

workers with no records at all.

I bet the fisherman is a migrant

himself, probably Haitian.

- What about the bank?

- We have the video.

We're looking into

the wire transaction

and the receiving account

as we speak.

But this is the Caribbean.

I'm sure you know

that there's a lot

of shady stuff

going on in these banks.

Have you had any arguments
