Listen to me, Nick.

Right now you've two options.

Either drag that message

for Jill to her computer

or...

I'll give it to her personally.

Hello?

Chord, wait! No!

What are you doing?

It's up to you, Nick. Send her the

file or I'll go upstairs after her.

Wait, wait! I'll do it!

Sh*t! What the f*** is this?

- Jill!

- Hi.

- You OK?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- You don't look so good.

- Why? Did you watch the presentation?

No. I mean now. You look pissed.

No, sorry. I just heard something

fall downstairs and I got scared.

OK, Nick, wait until

they're done talking.

Send the message as soon

as her friend hangs up.

- OK. But tell me...

- I'll be back in a while.

Hello? Chord?

- It's impossible for me to reach you.

- You're talking to me right now.

Tony called earlier.

Carol, I...

I'm going to sign off.

I want to go to bed.

He said you and Dave

had another fight.

Tony is worried about

your relationship.

He thinks you should spend

more time together.

So, Tony's worried.

Yes. He said your...

Nevada?!

Can you get inside my computer

and see everything I see?

Do it now.

He's trying to help you, Jill.

There's a man hiding in her house.

He's watching everything I do.

He's hiding in her house.

She doesn't know. She's in danger.

Have you got a ping-pong camera?

- We can use it to geolocate you.

- What?

OK, it is you.

It's on your dashboard.

- Those cameras are awesome, Nevada.

- Forget about me.

She's the one that matters.

She's the one in danger, damn it!

It's a critical moment in your career.

You can't blow this.

The media is just waiting

for you to f*** up again.

You might think that

they've pardoned you

because they've been off your

back for a while. But they haven't.

If you announce that you're retiring now,

you'll be crucified. You know that.

And if you change your mind and try to make

a comeback, you'll be a laughing stock.

Seriously, is there anything I can

do to help? Anything you need?

- Yeah.

- What?

Well, Nick.

What are you waiting for?

Send it to her.

Tell me what it is. As soon as

you tell me, I'll send it to her.

Sh*t, Nick.

We've already had this conversation.

Even an idiot like you can figure

out that if I wanted to hurt her,

I already would have.

I don't want to,

but I will if you force me to.

OK! I'll send it, I'll send it!

Good.

That wasn't so hard now, was it?

Jesus Christ. No.

Chord! Jesus, Chord!

If she puts down the phone,

I'll turn off the juice.

Tell her. Write it

in the text window.

If she picks it up, Tony's mouth

will never be the same again.

Tell her to stay put.

- Can you see me?

- Tell her, damn it!

OK, Nick.

You can take it from here.

Go ahead.

Where... where's Tony?

What do you want from me?

- Tell her, Nick.

- Tell her what?

What you want from her.

- I don't want anything.

- She'll do anything you ask, Nick.

- I don't want anything.

- Like at the hotel, right?

You're a fraud.

Stop! Please, stop!

Chord, wait! OK, OK, OK!

Good. See how easy this is?

It's all in your head.

It's already there.

- OK, now let Tony go.

- Sorry.

- Stop!

- I don't know what else to say.

- No!

- OK, OK!

Stop!

- Good! Jesus Christ!

- Like this?

Are you kidding me?

OK, wait, wait!

Yes, wider, of course.

Before now you had to

settle for those lame photos

you had on your filthy website.

You're finally going beyond

the final frontier?

Like this?

- What do you want?

- OK.

- What do you want?

- Chord, let me think, god damn it!

What's there to think about?

Oh, this is good stuff.

Better than those pics of Jill where

you can barely see her panties.

You like that stuff but it's

kind of a tease, isn't it?

- Listen, I have an idea, OK?

- Come on.

Tell me where you are and I can come

over there. I'll do anything you say, OK?

Hold on. We're failing at something

pretty basic here, Nick.

That bitter look on

her face has to go.

I understand.

Can I wipe my face?

Yes, she can. Of course she can.

I can... I can come

over there like this.

Cut the crap, Nick.

We're off course here.

Her robe's closed again.

Tell her to open it, damn it.

You don't want to see me in person?

How's this?

F*** you, Nick.

Tell me... tell me how you want it,

you f***ing son of a b*tch!

Hey, hey! Look, look!

Now we're talking!

Keep going, damn it!

Don't let her close the robe again.

That's a good idea.

Let's see how it goes.

I understand. Just...

just give me a second.

You're heading in

the right direction.

- Keep going.

- OK.

- Chord?

- Keep going.

Oh, yeah. Very nice.

That's what I'm talking about.

- What's... Oh, sh*t. I can't believe it.

- What was that?

She must have picked up

her cell with her left hand.

- She's calling the cops!

- The cops?

Don't worry, I blocked her signal earlier.

We're the only ones who can hear her.

Smart girl, smart girl.

OK, Nick, where were we?

She's already doing great.

Maybe a little more... more...

Well, sometimes the simplest

things work the best.

OK.

OK, Nick. This is all I need.

He cut the connection.

He cut it? Are you sure?

You're on your own.

Jill, it's over! It's over!

- Help! Please help! It's an emergency!

- It's OK! Everything's fine.

Help is coming. Stay where you are.

Don't go anywhere.

Jill! Jill, no!

No!

No!

Nevada! Nevada!

It's OK, listen. We're extracting the

information from the police server.

The police? Damn!

- Are they far away?

- They've already sent units to the house.

F***. F***.

What is he doing? What is that?

I don't know.

- What do the police know?

- They've got the situation under control.

They know he's in there

and they know he's armed.

OK.

Don't worry. They're almost there.

They will arrive in half a minute or so.

Oh, putain! Guys! Guys!

Look at this.

What is that?

It's the police. They have access

to these security cameras.

What? There were cameras all

over the house the whole time?

Find Jill! She has to

be there somewhere.

There he is! Wearing a mask!

That's him.

He's by a woodpile

on the first floor.

- I don't see her anywhere.

- Keep looking.

I only see him.

They're here! They're here!

Pierre, what exactly

did you tell them?

- Do they know about the guy at the hotel?

- What? We didn't talk to them.

What? You didn't call them?

No! They were already on their

way when we spiked them.

I thought you did!

No.

Who the f*** did?

One second.

Assault team,

we've got all the exits covered.

Green light. Green light.

It doesn't seem like the

subjects can hear us.

What is he doing?

Hold on. Wait!

What looks like a hunting knife.

He's holding it up at eye level.

Wait a minute.

- He's picking something up.

- It's the same log.

The subject is coming out. I repeat.

He's coming out. I repeat.

He's in there. Now he's trapped.

He's pointing the rod

right at you, guys.

What the f***?

It's a trap! He set them up! He's been

toying with them this whole time.

Chord isn't in there.

It's a recording.

So, it's a video with time delay.
