Last Man Standing Page #5

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.

Clear right.

- One up.

- Two up.

- Three clear.

- Room clear.

Clear!

Go, go, go, go.

Clear left.

Clear right.

Clear right.

Room clear.

Watch your left side.

Watch your left side.

Put your gun on the counter.

Room clear!

Right. Call your boss.

Sir!

Watch your right!

We got her!

Hold, hold, hold, hold.

Back off.

Back off!

Give her some room.

Are you in charge here?

Yes, I am.

My name is Agent Tyler.

Everyone clear out

but Agent Tyler.

I think they're waiting

to hear from you.

Everyone out.

Now!

All right. Tyler, over here,

nice and slow.

Cuff Agent Tyler's hands

behind his back.

All right, out the back.

Close the door behind you.

Sit.

What's your plan?

You don't have one, do you?

I can help you.

We can help each other.

Don't you want to see your

husband and daughter again?

Nick and Penny, right?

Yes, I know all about you.

Marine Corps, Special Forces,

then there was that black ops

assignment, Omar Taraki,

the Afghan chemist

who was going...

to testify against al-Qaeda.

You were supposed to be

protecting him, right?

Him and his family?

Whose idea was it

to sell him out?

Yours or Samuel Pratt's?

What are you talking about?

We've been watching

that bank account...

for two years, waiting for

someone to access it.

I'm curious. Why now?

Was it because Sam

was out of the picture...

and you wanted

his share of the payoff?

Or maybe he never cut you in.

What payoff?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about

someone getting very rich...

making sure

Omar Taraki didn't testify.

And you think Sam?

No, no, no, no.

I was with him.

Sam... No. There's no way.

All right.

Let's pretend

you weren't involved...

and that Pratt

was working alone.

How did you know

about the money, then?

I didn't.

You broke into

his private office,

accessed his bank account,

and stole money you

didn't know about.

Would you buy that story?

Everything you need

to get the money...

is on this flash drive.

It's my husband.

He was kidnapped

this morning...

by someone

who wanted that money.

And in 18 minutes,

they're gonna kill him

unless I can stop them.

Why give that to me, then?

We both know

they'll kill him either way.

Who is 'they'?

Who knew about the money?

This is ketamine.

It won't hurt you,

but it'll put you to sleep

for about 20 minutes.

All right, in two

minutes, your...

men will make a hard entry.

They'll assume you're dead.

They'll try to

resuscitate you.

When you wake up,

go to 127 Junction Road.

That's where you'll find me.

One problem with your plan.

We don't make hard entries

when we've got a man inside.

Except when shots are fired.

You were supposed to...

protect Taraki's

family, right?

Whose idea was it

to sell him out?

Yours or Samuel Pratt's?

What's the situation

on the ground, Captain Pratt?

We tracked

Taraki's wife and daughter...

to a building about

four clicks from town.

Abby, you got eyes?

Yeah, Sam.

The mother and

daughter are alive.

I got three hostiles

inside with them.

Let's do this.

We're clear.

Abby, no!

Don't go in there!

Get back!

You knew the wire was there.

I'm at the drop site,

but our lady hasn't shown up.

She's got two minutes.

Damn it!

That's it. Kill him.

Time's up.

Wifey didn't show.

Set down the weapon.

Set down the weapon.

That's the last time

I'm gonna ask.

Nick, I'm here.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Did he hurt you?

I'm fine.

I'm all right, okay?

Damn it. I got to find

something to cut with.

Abby, listen to me.

Just leave.

Call the police when

you leave here.

I'll be safe till then, honey.

There's no way I'm gonna

leave you, Nick.

Hey, what's

going on in there?

Hey, where's

your blindfold at?

Abby!

It's rubber buckshot.

He'll be all right.

You were shot?

It's okay. I'm all right.

I'm fine.

I'm all right. Okay.

I only remember one

other op that I've been on...

that's gone this pear-shaped.

Don't move.

Now, toss the knife.

Toss the shotgun.

Now turn around, slowly.

What?

'Why?' That is what

you want to ask, right?

'Why? Why? Why, Davis?'

Well, it's real simple really.

$10 million. That's why.

You see, Pratt and I,

we got an offer...

that we just couldn't refuse.

$5 million each if we stopped

Taraki from testifying.

But you'd be amazed

at how fast $5 million can go.

But, you see, Pratt,

he still had half of his cut.

But he wouldn't

return my phone calls.

You killed Pratt.

Yeah, well,

you know, if Pratt

had just let you die...

with Taraki's

wife and daughter,

it would have saved me

a lot of trouble tonight.

Never trust the

last man standing.

What was that?

You're the last man standing.

That's what Pratt

was trying to tell me.

That's true.

So this last man's

gonna make you a deal.

You give me the flash drive,

I'll walk out of here,

leave you two lovebirds alone.

You want the flash drive?

Come and get it.

Give him what he wants,

and he'll leave.

How about I just shoot you

and take the flash drive?

You know, you really

disappoint me, Abby.

There in the back!

Go! Go! Go!

- Freeze!

- Don't move!

I need paramedics

to the northwest...

quadrant of the warehouse.

We need you to come in

and help us sort all this out.

How about tomorrow, sir?

All right.

Let's go home.

Let's go home.

Story time.

Okay.

You all right, honey?

I wrote him a letter.

Who? The Afghan guy?

Yeah, Omar Taraki.

I don't know if

he'll ever get it, but...

What did you say?

Told him about us, our family,

and how sorry I am...

about what happened

to his wife and child.

Glad you did that.

Yeah, me, too.

Meet me in there?

Yeah.

Daddy, don't forget.

Tonight, you have to tell me

two parts of the story...

since you missed last night.

I didn't forget, honey.

I actually have a surprise

twist to that story.

What is it?

Well, it's about how

the beautiful princess...

had to rescue

the handsome prince.

That's a good twist.

Yes, it is.

And the best part

of the story is...

they lived happily ever after.

But I'm getting

ahead of myself.

So, once upon a time,

in a land far, far away,

lived a fair-haired prince.

So, one day, an evil dragon

captured the prince...

and took him deep

inside a mountain.

The beautiful

dark-haired princess...

searched high and low,

and finally found

the dragon's lair.
