- What? It's not occupied?

If you'd like to take a look,

I can order a card key

- from the main office.

- Sh*t!

OK, thanks. I'm on my way.

Great. Thanks for calling.

What the...

The main office.

The first floor.

It must be... there it is.

He's coming this way.

I have to get out of here.

You can't leave your laptop and

your video camera in there.

- I'll bring them with me.

- There isn't time, Nick.

He'll be there before you reach

the door. Do as I say, OK?

Do as I say and

everything will be fine.

Put your stuff under the bed

where the arrow's pointing.

The video camera and that suitcase.

- Everything but your laptop.

- Under the bed?

Do it.

In there.

- What's in there?

- There's a bag. Open it. Hurry!

See the two metal teeth?

The taser has a switch on the base.

It's very simple.

When the guy walks into the room,

you zap him with it from behind.

He won't even see you. When he wakes up,

he'll be in an empty room, that's all.

- I don't...

- Either that or you'll have to face him.

No offense, but he looks like more

than you can handle. It's your call.

Hello?

Hello!

What the...?

Sh*t, sh*t. Sh*t!

Quick, move that nightstand.

What is this?

The gag is for his mouth and the

cuffs on the wall are for his hands.

- What?

- He didn't see your face

and I erased you from the

hotel registry. You're clean.

But you still need to get the hell out

of there before he sounds the alarm.

This way we can make sure he stays quiet

but doesn't go anywhere when he wakes up.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

- We don't know how long he'll be out.

What will you do if he comes to and

you're still there? Zap him again?

You know how dangerous

that would be? Do it for him, Nick.

- What if I just leave?

- I can only get you out of this

if you do everything I say. If you're

not going to, I'll sign out right now.

- OK, see ya!

- No, no, no!

Tie him up. Now.

All this stuff...

you put it here. Why?

Hurry up. Grab your laptop

and get out of there.

What about my stuff?

Come on, Nick, grab your

laptop and get out of there.

Don't shut it, you idiot! I need to

guide you so nobody will see you.

Keep it on. You have enough battery.

The hallway is empty.

Go outside and turn right.

There's a service elevator at the end

of the hall. I'll send it to your floor.

You have a rental car

in the garage, right?

- Yeah.

- No, wait!

If you stay there they'll both see you.

You can't let anyone see you.

- What do I do?

- They're headed right for you.

The door on your left. Room 704.

I just opened it. Don't make any noise.

Stay still. You're not alone.

Hello?

Good evening, sir.

Can I ask you for something?

We're doing an equipment check.

Would you mind turning up

the volume on your television?

Oh, sure.

Thank you very much.

Leave the room. Now.

Great. The elevator's right there.

Take it to the garage.

That was you! The guy from reception?

- It sounded just like the other voice.

- I'm pretty good at impersonations.

Hurry up. There's no time to lose.

There's nobody on that floor right now.

- We can do this, Nick. Hurry.

- Are you sure no one has seen me?

So...

all that stuff in my room,

the cameras...

Don't worry. They're totally secure,

completely untraceable.

Nobody will know you were there.

That means...

you've already been in my room.

If I'd told you I prepped the room

just in case, you'd have freaked out.

Where are you right now?

- Where are you talking to me?

- OK, you made it.

We got lucky. The garage is empty.

- Who are you?

- Quick. Quickly, get in the car.

Our luck won't last.

You're forgetting

the computer, damn it!

Sorry, I must have left that on.

You were in this car?

That's right.

Open the glove compartment.

Stick it on your dashboard

facing the road.

No, I'm not hiding in the back seat.

Hurry up, damn it!

Where are you?

Where are you watching me from?

Do it.

Why? What for?

Put the camera on the dashboard.

What for? Why are

you doing this to me?

I want to see you. Show yourself!

It's just as easy for me to

show this to the police, Nick.

All I have to do is press a button.

I'll explain it to them.

I'll tell them...

They won't even ask you,

sh*t for brains.

- They already know who you are.

- Hi, there. I'm Nick Chambers

and I'm the webmaster...

They'll have seen you explaining

how you won a blog contest,

which nobody ever authorized.

A blog contest which

all of a sudden...

Poof! Just disappears.

How long have you

been doing this to me?

It's up to you, Nick.

Where to?

I gave you an arrow.

Follow the arrow.

- Where are we going?

- Drive!

Nick... turn off that

awful music, will you?

- You're the one who left it on.

- I'm sorry, the CD has me curious.

It's not exactly your style of music.

Actually, I know your tastes.

You hate crap like

that as much as I do.

Are you sure the CD is yours?

If you'll excuse me,

I need to go for a second.

Keep driving. I'll be right back.

Excuse me, Nevada.

What is this? Why are

you calling me Nevada?

We've seen each other before.

We met on April.

What? I don't know what

you're talking about.

We know the rule. If a hacker

wants to work for you,

he has to prove himself

by hacking you first.

This is what we did, on April.

We uploaded a greeting onto your system.

Then, later that day,

you called us back.

Here's the video file.

What makes you think you

can contact me like this?

Hi...

- Nevada? Are you Nevada?

- Yes, I am.

At first we thought it was strange

of you to cut us off like that.

If you wanted to meet us,

why cut us off?

Then we figured you thought

the connection might be unsafe.

So, we've been reinforcing it.

Wait, wait, wait. I'm not Nevada!

That's right. If you show your face,

we show ours.

My name is Pierre Da Rocha, Triop 1.

This is our base in Paris.

Nick? Who's talking?

Did you hear a voice?

It was...

- the radio.

- I don't see any radio on your computer.

The car radio.

You're almost there.

Wait for me when you get there.

Excuse me, Nevada, sorry.

You are in the middle

of an operation.

That's not your real face,

it's make-up, right?

What?

We understand,

this is not the best time.

We are going to leave an open window

for you to talk to us, whenever you want.

Remember... you are the best...

but we are close second.

Remember the trick I

played on Jill's cell phone?

Well, it's even easier to

do it with her computer.

She's in the apartment

they rent for her.

She has no idea her webcam is on.

- What's that?

- Her computer. From inside.

I uploaded a file to your desktop.

The red rectangle...

I want you to drag it to her windows.

Upper right corner.

It will open automatically on

her computer. Do it right now.

What is it?

When it opens on hers,

it'll open on yours as well.

You'll be able to see everything.

- What is it?

- Do it.

Chord? What is this?

Is that you? What are you doing?

What is this?

You're the one who wanted

to see me so badly.
