Getaway Page #3

---

Why?

Because this guy

is watching us, okay?!

And I need you to stop --

I knowwhat I'm doing.

Just sit still and listen to me

for two seconds.

I know what I'm doing.

See, I went to school

and I know things,

which is why I don't have to

steal stuff, like some people.

If you're so smart,

maybe you can tell me

what's going on with

all these cameras, huh?

They're all linked

to a single feed.

It's not only encrypted,

but it's piggybacking

on a public server.

Huh?

It means that

they're hosting this live feed

from these cameras

on a government server

without them knowing about it.

So anybody can watch it,

even us.

Wait a second.

What?

These aren't coming

from the same place.

Where are they

coming from?

Looks like

a parking garage.

Can you tell where it is?

I don't know.

It could be anywhere.

Do you think

it's where he might be?

I doubt it.

But he can see it.

I just don't like the fact

that he's watching us.

Do you think you can track him

with that thing?

No, and if anyone did, he would

just dump the I.P. Address.

As long as his feed

is hosted remotely,

there's no way to find it.

And that thing

isn't really well-hidden.

What?

Microphone.

Oh, so he's listening

to us, too?

Probably.

Well, I'll give you this,

you are bright.

It's called being educated.

You should look into it when

you're not committing crimes.

Scratch that,

you'll be in jail.

[CARPHONE RINGS, SIREN WAILS]

All right, answer!

Pull up power plant

on the GPS.

We're kind of busy

right now.

Learn to multitask.

[SIREN CONTINUES]

Or let your new little friend

help you.

Look under the visor.

Won't you do that?

I'm uploading a new set

of directions.

That's the city power plant.

At exactly 11:
30,

you will be there.

Why are we going

to the power plant?

Always so inquisitive.

I like it.

[SHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Now, listen carefully.

You're to break

into the control room,

access the remote system,

and insert that drive.

What will that do?

You're a clever girl.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

He wants to cut

the power off.

Why do you want

to cut the power?

You have some time

until 11:
30.

I wouldn't spend it trying

to figure out my motives.

[TRIPLE BEEP]

He's a real a**hole!

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

[DOGS BARKING]

So you don't know

who that is?

No.

No idea?

I got ideas.

People I used to work with,

but nobody i know could set up

something like this.

So why you?

'Cause I can drive.

That's debatable.

No, I mean,

I used to race.

Really?

Really.

Professionally,

like, real racing.

Don't think

I ever saw you on TV.

Yeah, well, there was

a couple weeks there

where you might have.

And?

And what?

[SCOFFS]

I washed out.

How come?

I don't know, I just did.

Doesn't matter now.

That's a pretty

shitty answer.

[SIGHS]

I washed out

because I believed everybody

who told me

how great I was.

Turns out the only thing

I was great at

was wrecking

expensive cars.

So I fell off the pro circuit

and I owed a bunch of money.

This is the only thing

I was ever any good at,

so I took whatever job

paid the most.

I did some things

I'm not proud of.

But then I got out of it.

And this...

This is why.

She's beautiful.

Is she from here?

Yeah.

She always wanted

to come back,

so we thought

it'd be a good place

to lay low

and start over.

Then I come home

from work today,

the door's busted open,

the place is a wreck,

there's blood on the floor.

My cellphone rings

and this voice tells me

if I ever wanna s--

if I ever

wanna see her again,

I gotta do this job.

And if I tell anyone,

she'll be dead.

Next thing I know, I'm driving

around in your car.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

You soup this thing up

yourself?

Yeah, it was

a graduation present.

Nice.

Something tells me

your dad's not a mechanic.

[CHUCKLES]

He's the c.E.O. Of one of

the largest banks in town.

We moved here about two years

ago for him to take it over.

I barely see him,

but this car is the nicest gift

he ever gave me.

Well, I'm sorry

about all the damage.

You know, you could also

apologize for taking me hostage.

And you could apologize

for putting a gun in my face.

I will if you let me out.

There's only one thing

I'm concerned about right now,

and I'm gonna do whatever

I have to to get her back.

So if he says

you gotta stay in the car,

you gotta stay in the car.

And where

does that get you?

And why is this happening,

what is he after?

You clearly haven't

thought this through.

What happens when this is done

and he gets what he wants?

Why would he even

give her back to you?

If I were him, I'd kill her

and I'd probably kill you.

Sh*t.

What?

I'd probably kill me too.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

Looks like they've already

been here.

If he was already here,

why didn't he just take out

the power himself?

I don't know.

Stop here.

Why?

You ever see what happens

to a metal car

when it touches a transformer

that powers the whole city?

Just wait here,

I'll handle it.

What, alone?

Yeah,

just be ready to go.

You sure?

[BEEPING]

Turn the car around,

that's what I should do.

No, I should go in

after her.

No, she's fine.

She knows what she's doing.

[BEEPING]

[Man speaks bulgarian]

Hello?

I-I don't have much time.

I'm in this car with this man

and his wife was kidnapped!

I speak English,

calm yourself.

Could you just

send someone, please?!

What is your emergency?

I don't know.

It's this voice --

he's telling us what to do!

You have to help us!

Exactly what is your location?

I'm at the power plant.

[LAUGHS]

You make it so much fun.

Sh*t.

Wherever that

clever mind takes you,

remember,

I've already been there.

Look around.

You see? That's right.

The police will think you blew

up the power station.

Can I give you some advice?

Run.

Go, go, go!

What, what, what?

What happened?

Drive, drive, go!

[TIRES SCREECH]

Hold on.

Sh*t!

[SIREN WAILS, TIRES SQUEAL]

Aah!

[HORN BLARES]

[SIRENS WAILING]

Faster!

Go faster!

[GROWLS]

Oh!

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

[DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE]

[SEATBELT CLICKS]

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

I'm not dying for you.

What happened?

This is a part

of his plan!

I was on camera

that whole time!

He could have easily taken out

the power himself,

but he lured us in there

because he wanted me to get

caught on camera doing it!

You think the cops

would ever believe me now?

Before, it was just you,

this car,

but now I'm screwed too.

I'm sorry.

[CARPHONE RINGING]

I gotta take care

of myself.

[RINGING CONTINUES]

Answer.

Stop her from leaving.

Go to hell.

Leanne:
[CRYING]

Where are you taking me?

Where are you taking me?

Leanne?

Leanne, can you hear me?

Please.

Leanne, can you hear me?

Brent, Brent,

what's going on?

Are you okay?

Have they hurt you?

Why is this happening?

Leanne!

Please, help me!

Brent?

Leanne, have they hurt --

are you all right, baby?

Please help me!

I'm so scared.
