Last Man Standing Page #4

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.

or I destroy the flash drive.

No, they ambushed the caravan.

We secured Taraki, but they

got his wife and child.

Please, turn me over to them.

Look, we can't do that.

They will kill my family.

No, we won't let that happen.

Please, they just

want me, okay?

Let me go.

There's a door in the back.

Just turn your head

for a moment.

I can't do that.

It is my wife and child!

If I let you go,

there's a good chance...

they will kill you

and your family.

Do you really want

to take that risk?

You don't have

a family yet, do you?

Someday, God willing,

you will.

Then you will

understand that...

there is nothing

you would not...

do to keep them

from harm, okay?

And at that moment,

you'll regret this decision.

You have reached

a department...

within the

National Security Agency.

Please enter your access code.

Signals Analysis.

Lincoln, it's Abby.

I need your help

with something else.

Abby, I can't keep

running these traces for you.

They're gonna kill my husband.

What are you talking about,

someone's gonna

kill your husband?

He was taken this morning.

You mean he's been kidnapped?

Look, if I don't find him,

they will kill him.

Can you triangulate

a cell phone for me?

Of course, Abby.

I can do that for you

I need the location

of a cell phone...

that's about to send

a live video file to mine.

Okay, I'll run a trace signal

through a local phone carrier.

And I need it now,

right now.

All right, give me

your cell phone number.

I don't know it.

Abby, you don't know

your own cell phone number?

I don't know the number.

How did I not remember that?

Abby, you know I

can't triangulate...

anything without that number.

Wait.

You can use the

phone's serial number...

and my location

to triangulate it.

That'll probably work.

What's the serial number?

Charlie-Delta-Foxtrot-1-7-1.

Why not kill the guard?

I want an identity on this

woman within the hour.

Yes, sir.

I'm okay, Abby.

I know I don't look

so hot right...

now, but I'm

fine. Don't worry.

Can you hear me?

Abby? Abby?

Honey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, sweetheart.

I'm so sorry, Nick.

I'm so sorry.

Baby, this isn't your fault.

I love you.

I love you, too, honey.

Don't worry about me.

All right, that's enough.

Take him away.

Wait! Abby!

Don't forget to feed Gatsby!

Don't forget to feed

Gatsby, honey!

We'll give you 10

minutes to make your decision.

Please tell me

you got something.

The signal's coming

from a cargo warehouse...

about four miles from

where you are right now.

Be careful, Abby.

Thank you, Lincoln.

You're not

taking this seriously, Abby.

In fact, I hear trucks

in the background.

You're not out looking

for Nick now, are you?

Who are you?

Just tell me who you are.

It doesn't matter who I am.

You've got your proof of life.

That is the last concession

you will get from me.

Now, I want you to go

to the 3rd Street overpass

That's where you'll hand

over the flash drive.

I want an even trade.

Nick for the flash drive

at the same time.

You already got your

concession. No more.

And I'm telling you,

if Nick isn't there,

you can kiss your

money goodbye.

Charlotte.

What do you got?

The car. Local PD

found it abandoned.

It's registered

to Abby Collins,

lives in Old Village.

She's married

to Nicholas Collins.

They have

a 5-year-old daughter.

Nicholas Collins owns a...

neighborhood

veterinary clinic.

Let's get cars

to both locations.

And Abby Collins

has a military background,

served in Afghanistan

with a black ops outfit.

Just like our departed

CEO, Samuel Pratt.

Penny!

Where are the girls?

Where are they?

In my room. I told them they

could sleep with me tonight.

We got to get them

out of here right now.

Abby, what's going on?

I know I owe

you an explanation...

for everything.

I just can't right now.

I am not yanking

my child out of...

bed in the middle

of the night...

unless you tell me why.

Nick was kidnapped

earlier today,

and whoever took

him has this address

Oh, my God.

I didn't think. I

should have known...

that they could

find this address.

I'm so sorry.

I need to call Brian.

You can call him

from the motel room.

Motel?

Are we going home now, Mommy?

Hi, honey.

Wait.

No, no, no. No lights.

All right, we're going

out the back.

Just follow me.

Mommy?

Hey, sweetie, you want

to play a little game?

You and Haley?

It's called 'hide

from the dragon.'

And the way we win

is to stay real quiet...

so that the dragon

doesn't hear you.

Does that sound like fun?

Okay. I know you didn't

learn that in Pilates.

Hand them to me.

All right. Let's go.

Come with me.

Okay, come on.

Here.

Go get it.

All units, all units.

Suspect is 42-year-old

Caucasian...

female Abigail Collins,

wanted in connection

with assault on...

security personnel at

Geographic Logistics.

Suspect evaded and

disabled local...

law enforcement personnel...

during a high-speed chase.

Collins possesses

military training...

and should be considered armed

and extremely dangerous.

Use of preemptive

deadly force is authorized.

One night?

Yes,

only for one night.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Come on, guys.

Watch your step.

Hold the railing.

Can we have the TV on?

Sure.

Just for a little while.

You two need some rest.

Here.

I'm going to go and get them

some juice from the machine.

Abby, why don't

you come with me?

Okay, be right back.

Abby, why haven't you

called the police about this?

They'll kill him if I do.

I don't mean to be callous,

but what about our kids?

They're threatening

our children.

We need to call the police.

I want you to call them

when I leave,

but the kids are safe

here for now.

Leave? Where are you going?

What do these people

want from you?

Is it money?

Do you need money?

Brian and I can help.

Charlotte, I'll never be

able to thank you...

for what you've

already done for me...

and for us, and I'm so sorry

I put you through this.

Abby, what are you gonna do?

I don't know yet.

The lion cub has

wandered away from its mother.

You two having fun?

They have our favorite movies

on this TV, Mommy.

I know.

That's pretty neat.

Just a little more TV,

and then some sleep.

Because, otherwise,

the sandman is gonna get you.

The female lion goes

in search of her lost cub.

If my daddy were here,

he could find him.

He puts a microchip

in the cat,

and then he knows

where they are.

Don't forget to feed Gatsby!

This microchip

goes under Gatsby's fur.

And then we can see where

Gatsby is at all times.

Don't forget to feed Gatsby!

He was telling me

how to find him.

Wait 45 minutes,

and then call the police.

That's definitely our girl.

Nice.

We found her.

She's at the

Owner's name.

I need the owner's name.

Gatsby.

Owner's name, Harris.

Where are you, Nick?

You three, in the front.

We're taking the rear.

Stay low.

Move quickly,

gentlemen. Move, move, move.

Go, go, go.

Clear left.
