in other people's hands.

I'm not going to sit and wait

for you guys to bring me bad news.

- Mr. Hartmann...

- Bobby, wait.

- Mr. Hartmann!

- I'd like to come along.

See if I can help.

What are you going to do

when you get there?

Whatever I have to do.

I have to rest, Kyle.

- Oh...

- We can't. We can't rest here.

Then you have to go without me.

I can slow them down.

Give you a chance to get ahead.

Amy... I'm not going anywhere without you.

Okay? Not this time.

How's that? Is that better?

Don't be stupid! Automatic weapon

versus a bow and arrow?

F***ing throw it to the ground now! Now!

Okay, stop! Stop, okay?

Stand out where I can see you!

You! Drop your weapon now!

No.

What the f*** do you mean, "no"?

I mean no.

I'm not gonna drop it.

Why are you determined

to do this the hard way?

Drop it. Or I'll shoot you

in your f***ing head.

Everybody stand still!

What would you do...

if we all rushed you right now, huh?

Would you kill us all?

I've killed more people

than I can f***ing count, mate.

Yeah? What's another four?

Don't move!

If you do that... you get nothing.

No ransom.

Is that what you came here for?

To leave with nothing? Huh?

I figure we can afford

to kill one of you. Yeah?

And we'll see how brave the rest

of you really f***ing are.

Just do it.

We heard shooting.

- Two more of them are dead now.

- There's still one left.

He's probably gonna keep coming,

just like he said.

Then we'll let him.

Hartmann...

I don't understand

why you want to take him alive.

Yeah, we have got a gun, right?

All we've got to do is hide

until he appears and shoot him.

Not if we don't have to.

Of course we have to.

We've got to kill him before he kills us.

- Why are we even discussing this?

- Because it's not who we are.

We're not killers.

Everything we did was in self-defense.

But this is different, okay?

We have a choice.

F***!

Hey! Killing someone isn't

as easy as you think, Marsac.

Alright, Kyle... what's the plan?

It's like Maxwell said...

if we can set the right trap,

in the right place, we can catch anything.

So, does, um...

anybody know how to use this?

I've never shot a gun before.

I don't even know what that thing is.

It's a Bushmaster M16, .223 caliber.

It's automatic.

Clip holds about 30 rounds.

Its rate of fire is 800 RPM.

My dad has one in his collection.

Well, you just volunteered.

Okay. Keep out of sight until he passes.

When he does,

follow him at a safe distance.

If he starts to turn back,

fire a few shots in the air.

That should keep him

in the right direction. Okay?

You got this?

Okay.

No! Amy, don't!

I'm guessing this isn't the way

you saw this going.

Throw 'em away now!

Throw 'em!

Hartmann!

Don't you think it's time we met?

I'm done playing games with you.

Well, haven't you been a busy boy!

Got a decent bit of blood on your hands.

Actually, I should thank you.

You see, I'm flying solo now.

No one to share the ransom with.

You still think that's gonna happen?

Oh, I know it's gonna happen.

See, I know exactly

how much of an investment

you are to your parents.

Now...

if you...

don't march all your friends

down here in 30 seconds...

I'm gonna shoot your girlfriend

in the f***ing face.

I wouldn't take too much time

to think on it.

Run!

Marsac! No!

Hartmann!

Marsac!

Your son was pretty incredible

out there, Mr. Hartmann.

Sounds like he wasn't alone there.

You're Amy, aren't you?

It's nice to finally meet you in person.

Likewise.

I'll... let you two catch up.

I can't believe you came.

Well, I care about you, Amy.

More than you realize.

It's hard to believe that this guy Speck

planned this whole thing on his own.

I suppose the only thing that we're certain

now is that there's no one left to question.

Why don't you answer it, Jonathan?

You wanna tell us why the last

seven calls on Speck's sat phone

came from the one you're holding?

You couldn't get your grubby hands

on my father's money,

so you found a way

to get your own, am I right?

I don't know what she's talking about.

She's hysterical.

Innocent people are dead because of you.

My father taught me to live my life

trying to make a difference.

You've taught me why.

I've done nothing. She's making it up!

She's never liked me. This is crazy!

You okay?
