Is he dead ?

Just don't do that.

Don't move it.

Max !

Mr. Barret.

Can you hear me ?

You said he wouldn't

feel anything.

He can't.

I'll just give

him something.

Relax.

Gotta be careful

about the dosage.

Hi, Charlie.

You remember us ?

I'm sorry about the pain.

If you bear with me, i'll

try to make you comfortable.

What are you doin' ?

This is t.k., mr. Barret.

He'll take good care of you.

What is this ?

You're a hostage,

Charlie.

- For what ?

- Mr. Barret,

we need your help.

My sister, elise,

has been kidnapped.

The kidnappers demanded

$2,000,000 Ransom.

My father has money,

but it's all on paper.

He went to the cops.

That's a big mistake.

I got nothing to do

with kidnapping.

Ah, come on, Charlie.

We know that.

But you got contacts,

The kind that know

how to fix these things,

and you got money, cash--

That's the good kind--

so we're also gonna have to

ask you to put up the ransom.

It's too bad

about your friend.

You're right.

There was a time

i coulda done something.

These days, i'm a businessman.

I pay my taxes

like your moms and dads do.

Once a criminal,

always a criminal.

That's what my dad says.

Yeah ? What's

your mother say ?

Stop that !

Stop it !

Guys, what

you did to me

is unbelievable.

You're right, there was

a time i'd be lookin' at

four dead bodies by now.

But, strange as it seems,

i understand what you're doin'

and why you're doin' it.

So i'm gonna offer you

an opportunity.

Get out of this.

Now.

Before it gets so f***ed up

nobody could ever recover.

Understand what i'm sayin' ?

Yes, you do.

Untie me.

Pour me a drink.

I call my car.

We act like

nothing happened.

I can't remember

anything.

Okay ?

You got my word.

Oh, okay. Go ahead.

You can go. What kind

of drink would you like ?

This is bullshit. "untie me,

pour me a drink." i told you

he wouldn't take us seriously.

Shut up !

i told you we didn't

have a choice.

What is that ?

Is that blood ?

After my father missed

his deadline,

the kidnappers sent a package.

They will continue to send

these packages every 24 Hours

until they get their money.

Package ? What ?

- What's in the package ?

- Charlie, whatever condition

elise is returned home in...

Is the same condition

you will be returned

to your home.

- Whose blood is that ?

- If she loses an eye,

you lose an eye.

If she loses an ear,

you get to lose an ear.

If she is hurt,

you will be hurt.

Listen to me:

by saving lisa,

you get to save yourself.

I asked you,

whose blood is that ?

Whose blood is that ?

F*** you, you freaks !

I'm gonna kill you !

I'm gonna kill you !

He's gonna get out !

come on !

He's gonna get loose !

He's gonna get out !

he's gonna get out !

he's gonna get out !

I thought you

gave him something.

You guys just wrote

your death notice.

You know, i admit my plan

is risky, Charlie, but you

know what ? It's gonna work.

Your plan. I'm gonna

remember that.

Wait. Nobody move.

It's been off my finger

only once before.

- What's that ?

- The ring.

My f***in' wife.

Sure, she used to

have nipples...

That would stand up

and whistle "dixie,"

but then again,

At one point,

dinosaurs used to

roam the earth.

- Yeah.

- I have three pairs

of shoes.

I got my white nikes.

I love

the white nikes.

I've had those for what,

six, seven years, right ?

These are almost worn out.

I got my bruno magnas.

I can't wear those anymore...

'cause of the

f***ing o.j. Thing, right ?

And so i go out

and i buy these boots.

Look at these.

Nice.

Nice f***in' boots.

Huh ?

You know what those are ?

What ?

Stingray.

- The fish ?

- Yeah, of course the fish.

So, you got

fish boots.

I'm wearing stingray boots.

These are one-of-a-kind.

Fish boots ?

How much did they cost ?

- Fifteen hundred.

- Dollars ?

Fifteen hundred dollars ?

You paid $1,500

For those f***in' shoes ?

No wonder

your wife is pissed.

You sound like my wife.

Anybody would be pissed

on that end. Come on.

You know what ?

Just shut up

about the f***in' boots.

I will. I'll forget

about it.

I'm sorry i f***in'

brought it up.

So, when's

the next package ?

Tomorrow at noon.

The phone,

does it work ?

What the f***

is goin' on in here ?

Oh, sh*t, Ira.

You scared the sh*t

out of us !

Oh, well, then,

you can imagine

how i feel.

I came here to play poker.

That's what you told me

you were gonna be doin'.

That's why you wanted

to use the house, right ?

That's why i let you

use the house. Guys,

This--

Thatis not poker.

Why is this man here ?

Why is he taped

to my father's favorite chair ?

Who the hell is he ?

Aw, sh*t, and who tracked

mud into the house ?

You guys got your shoes on.

You know the rules.

Everyone's shoes off right now.

My parents just had

these floors refinished.

I mean, come on.

You guys are killin' me here.

You said poker.

-We don't know.

Well, how come you f***ers

- Oh, my god.

- And what does that

have to do with him ?

Oh, great.

Where did you come from ?

Me ? Nowhere.

I was just looking around.

Well, don't.

Everyone just stop and

stay where i can see you.

Uh, avery--

look, man, i'm really,

really sorry,

But i just want

everyone out of here

right now.

Hey, and take your

weird-f*** junkie friend

with you.

They're choppin' my

fingers off, Ira.

That's what the kidnappers did

to the girl, so that's what

your friends are doin' to me,

Even though i had

nothing to do with it.

- Charlie--

- Ira, look at it !

I get it.

You guys cut his finger off.

Holy sh*t !

f***ing finger off !

Oh, my god !

wrong with you guys ?

My god, you guys f***ed up.

Do you know who

this guy is ?

- Sir, sir, i am sorry.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I-i-- they told me

nothin' about this.

They never tell me

anything, these guys.

In fact, i barely even know

these f***ing guys.

I cannot believe you cut

his f***ing finger off.

- That's what they did.

-He's gonna kill us.

I mean, you do

understand that,

don't you ?

Th-that's what the man does

to people when they

disrespect him.

What do you think

he's gonna do to five ass--

four a**holes...

Who cut

his f***ing finger off ?

Dead. Dead.

Hi. I'm a dead guy.

Thanks, fellas.

If some wise guy from jersey

doesn't kill me,

Don't sweat it,

because my parents will.

Ira, the kidnappers

demanded $2,000,000 Ransom.

That's why we need

mr. Bartolucci here to play

a little show of diplomacy.

And then, when we

get what we want,
