Last Man Standing Page #2

Synopsis: Mike Baxter is the marketing director for an iconic outdoor sporting goods store. He loves to have adventures while he's traveling for work and, of course, he drives a pick-up truck. While Mike is king of the hill at work, he's the odd man out in a home that is dominated by women -- namely his wife, Vanessa, and their three daughters, 20- year-old Kristin, 17-year-old Mandy and 13-year-old Eve. After being a stay-at-home mom for years, Vanessa recently returned to the workplace and was quickly promoted (much to the dismay of her primarily male co-workers). As a result of Vanessa's increased work load, Mike is pulled into more hands-on parenting than ever before.

All right,

the girl's going rogue.

Yeah.

Well, speaking of family,

I got to get going.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I understand.

Well, look,

if you want to talk,

I'll be in town

until tomorrow night.

I'm staying at

the Alexandria Hotel.

Let's not keep the wall up.

Okay.

It's good to see you.

You, too.

Okay.

All right.

Hi,

you've reached my cell phone.

Please leave a message.

Hey, baby.

I just wanted to tell you...

that I love you and

I'm sorry about last night.

Let's talk tonight

about everything.

Hi, Heather.

Is my husband there?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Collins.

He left early today.

What time did he leave?

I guess it was around noon.

Noon?

I was at lunch,

so I'm not exactly sure.

Okay. Thanks, Heather.

Hi,

you've reached my cell phone.

Please leave a message.

Nick, please call me

when you get this.

Daddy's gonna miss

pancakes for dinner.

We should wait for him.

I'm sure he'll be home soon.

Nick?

Hey, Abby,

what you doing?

Charlotte.

Is everything okay?

You sound stressed.

No, I'm fine.

I just haven't heard

from Nick in awhile,

and I'm starting to

get a little worried.

That's probably him now.

Okay, bye.

If you

want your husband to live,

you'll do exactly

what we tell you.

You tell anyone,

and he dies.

We are watching

your every move.

Instructions will follow.

When's Daddy gonna be home?

He's working late

tonight, honey.

But what about our pancakes?

Maybe we should

bring them to his work.

I don't think so.

We should just save them

till tomorrow night.

You know what, honey?

I think I better go down

and help Daddy at work.

How'd you like

to go play with Haley...

for a little while, huh?

Maybe even spend the night?

Can't I go with you?

Mommy's got to do

computer work.

Besides, you're gonna have

more fun with Haley.

Come on.

Abby.

Hi. I need a big favor.

Sure, honey. What is it?

Can you watch Penny

for the night?

I know

it's last minute, but...

Yes, of course.

It's no problem.

I brought her pj's,

and some of her things

I'm not sure how late I'll be.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

Come on, we can play!

Honey, why don't you take

Penny to your room?

I want to go with you.

Sweetheart, I promise

I'll be back soon, all right?

Go with Haley, have some fun.

Okay.

All right.

We were making pancakes,

and something came up.

So I brought this.

I got pancake batter

and syrup.

If you wouldn't mind?

I promised her pancakes.

Abby, what's going on?

Where's Nick?

Can we talk later?

Is there something

I can do to help?

You are. This is helping.

I'm here if you

feel like talking.

Thank you, Charlotte.

Think!

Oh, God. What am I doing?

They probably

tapped the phones.

You have reached

a department...

within the

National Security Agency.

Please enter your access code.

Signals Analysis.

Lincoln, it's Abby.

Who?

Lieutenant Spencer.

First Lieutenant Spencer?

Yeah. It's been a long time.

Yeah, it has.

Look, I need

to trace a transmission.

I have the IP address.

Can you get me access

to server records...

...so I can run a search?

Sure. Give me three minutes.

Abby?

Sam was so distracted

the last few weeks.

He spent so much

time downstairs...

locked up in his office.

Was he working on

something down there?

I don't know

what he was doing.

I mean, we talked

about everything.

Well, almost everything.

He didn't talk about the past.

What happened back there?

People are starting to leave.

Excuse me.

All right,

let's move out.

Mr. Taraki's in

U.S. custody now.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

You'll ride with us.

You'll meet with your wife

and daughter in Kabul later.

Come on. Get in.

What is it?

I don't know.

Something feels funky.

He's just waiting

for us to leave.

Yeah, I don't like the way

he's still standing there.

You know what they say.

'Never trust the

last man standing.'

Come on.

What are you doing in here?

What's going on?

I'm so sorry, Pauline.

I can't explain

everything right now.

I want

you to watch what happens...

when you don't

follow our instructions.

The next time you disobey us,

your husband will die.

Now go to the

Concord train station.

Instructions

are in locker 214.

You have 10 minutes.

Two minutes.

Hey!

How are you doing?

That's sweet.

Excuse me.

I was wondering if

you could tell me...

where the security

office is located?

It'll be just right there,

up the hallway.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's okay.

Officer Halverson.

Sorry to interrupt

your dinner.

I need to review the security

footage for the last 48 hours.

I only need the footage

from camera five,

the locker area.

Can you speed it up?

What are you looking for?

Just speed it up.

Stop.

Advance it frame by frame.

Come on, come on.

Turn around,

so I can see your face.

Thanks.

What took you so long?

There were a lot

of people around.

I thought it best to find

a more discreet area.

Don't let it happen again.

We're under

a very strict timeline.

I'd like to talk

to my husband.

From now on,

you'll use this phone only.

There's one number

programmed into the phone.

Ours. Do you understand?

Yes. I'd like to talk to...

Do you understand?

Yes. What do you

want from me?

The timer on your phone

is counting down...

from three-and-a-half hours.

If you haven't completed

the task we set out...

by the time it reaches zero,

your husband will die.

Just tell me what

you want from me.

I want you to go

to 401 Commerce Circle.

Call when you arrive.

Have you arrived

at the location?

What is this place?

By 8:
00 p.m., all

personnel will...

have left for the evening.

That's when you go in.

Go in?

You then have 20 minutes

to get into the main building.

Get to the fourth

floor and enter...

the private office of the CEO.

What are you

sending me to get?

There was a key card

taped to the phone.

Bring it.

Hello? Jeremy, can we meet?

I need your help.

Nick's been kidnapped.

When?

They must have

known his schedule...

and taken him from work.

Jeremy, I think Pratt is

connected to this somehow.

Why do you say that?

It's the only clue I have.

Well, that's not

much to go on.

I need to find out

who took my husband...

as much as I need

to know why.

Look, I have

an important call.

I'll see you in 10.

Okay.

Yeah.

Hello?

Charlotte, hi.

Abby. I've been worried.

No, no, I'm doing okay.

Can you put Penny

on the phone?

I promised I'd call her

before she went to sleep.

Okay. Hang on.

Hi, Mommy.

Hey, snickerdoodle.

See, I didn't forget.

Are we going

to finish Daddy's story?

Right, where

did we leave off?

With the dragon

and the princess.

That's right.

The dragon turned

back into a princess.

I hacked into the

city-planning database...

and downloaded the blueprints

for the building.

This building has

two access points.

Now, each entry

has two guards.

You got to secure

the outside guards fast...

in order to get inside

and take out the floater.
