Take Me Page #4

---

That does not come

as a surprise to me.

Wait a minute.

I saw you in the

elevator this afternoon.

You didn't say anything.

Were you outside my house, too?

You really should be

more careful next time, ray.

That's not my voice.

I don't know who that is.

That sounds a lot like you.

That's not me.

There must be someone else

with my name.

No, no, no.

That's too big a coincidence.

I mean, I saw you

in the elevator that day.

You brought it up earlier.

Were you outside my house?

Yes.

How long were you watching me?

Couple of days.

Call the number back.

We're sorry. The number you

have reached is not in service.

- Please check...

- Disconnected.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but

there's only one logical explanation.

I mean, isn't it obvious?

We were setup.

Who would do that? Why...

Who would waste all of their

time putting together such a...

Such an elaborate plan?

Don't you have any enemies?

I mean, somebody that might benefit from

you being sidelined for a few days?

You're missing your big speech.

Me? I don't have any...

What about...

What about you?

I don't have any enemies.

You work with crazy people

for a living.

I mean, you must have your fair

share of disgruntled clients.

"disgruntled"? Never.

I'm very good at what I do.

Well...

No.

You're really not very good

at what you do.

Do you know her?

No, I don't think so.

Who is she?

Have you ever been

to Atlantic city?

Once, I was there when

I think I was a kid.

Who is she?

Nobody. I'm sure it's nothing.

Where's my car?

- It's in the garage.

- And my phone?

- In the glove box.

- Perfect.

What are you

gonna tell the police?

The truth.

That you kidnapped me,

that you hit me.

I was just doing

what I was told.

F*** you. Companies like this

should not exist. It's dangerous.

People can get hurt.

They'll send me to jail.

Ray, maybe you should've thought

about that before you kidnapped me.

Leave the purse, please.

Garage?

The keys aren't in the...

Ray.

I want you to think

very carefully

About your next move.

Okay.

Every second

You hold on to those keys...

You're digging yourself

in an even deeper hole.

I can't let you leave.

Just hear me out.

Please, if you could just

listen to me for one...

- Stay back!

- Ow!

- God!

- Stay back.

Okay, okay, I'm staying right here.

Right here, right here.

I'm leaving, ray.

Give me the keys.

Okay, okay, cool it.

Don't you tell me to f***ing cool

it, a**hole. Give me the keys.

It's not a real gun.

- What?

- That's not a real gun.

It's just a pellet gun.

- Sh*t!

- Give me the keys!

- F***!

- Give me the keys!

Sh*t!

God damn it!

Give me the keys, ray!

I really wish you could see this

from my point of view.

Give me the keys!

Okay, I'm really sorry

about this.

What are you doing?

Are you f***ing crazy?

Spit it out.

You can't leave...

Until we sort this out.

Spit it out, ray.

I swallowed it.

I just want us to talk

about what happened

And come to a mutually

beneficial conclusion.

Spit the keys out.

I swallowed it.

- Spit the key out!

- I swallowed it.

Spit 'em out!

I can feel it right here.

God, I didn't wanna do that.

Spit out the key!

I'm trying.

Gross!

It's down there.

It's down there now.

Spit out my keys!

Help me! Please help me,

I've been kidnapped!

Anna.

Anna.

Here. For your head.

This is a f***ing nightmare.

Hey, cut it out.

You want me to crash?

Stop it.

You can't do this. The police

are looking for my car.

You know that, right?

I swapped out the plates.

I had some fakes in storage.

Where are you taking me?

Couldn't stay

at my house anymore.

It was only a matter of time before

the police swung back around.

So I'm officially your hostage.

You're not my hostage.

Do you know that you're committing

a felony right now, you a**hole?

Hey, you know what, Anna?

You know something?

Look, you know what?

Never mind. Forget about it.

It's not important.

It's just...

If you stopped to consider the amount of

abuse that I've taken from you today...

You've got to be f***ing

kidding me, right?

I am the victim here.

I am the victim

in this scenario.

I am the victim here!

Not you!

You're right, I apologize.

Jesus Christ. Don't apologize.

F***, please just let me go.

I can't risk you going to

the cops right now, okay?

Look, I know that there's

a solution to this somewhere,

And if you and I could just put our

heads together and figure it out,

Everything's gonna be okay,

all right?

Okay.

You motherf***er!

Let me out of here!

F*** you!

F*** you, you motherf***er!

Let me out of here!

You cool? Come on.

Just give me your hand.

Just come over here.

Stop it.

You're being silly now.

Come on.

I honestly think

you're gonna dig this place.

It's a family cabin. My dad

built it in the 70's and...

Anna!

Anna, come on.

This doesn't have to be

such a chore. Let's go.

What are you hiding from me for?

F***! F***!

Believe me when I tell you I never

meant for it to come to this.

I know, I know you're not exactly

my biggest fan right now.

To be honest, I'm not too

pleased with myself either.

I'm really not a bad person.

I'm a good person

Caught up in a seismically

f***ed up situation,

And you're not exactly making

anything easier on me right now.

I like helping people.

That's why I do what I do. My whole

business is about helping people.

My clients come to me

To escape their everyday troubles and

immerse themselves in a scenario,

However unorthodox,

That really helps them gain some solid

perspective on life. It's just...

You and them cut off from the

outside world, and they get to that

That microcosm,

where time ceases to exist.

And they're forced to

retreat inward

And really get to know

themselves better, and I'd say

Nine and a half times

out of ten,

They emerge from that experience

a more fulfilled human.

Hold on one sec.

I'm sorry about that.

That's not what microcosm means.

What?

That thing that you just said

about time standing still,

That's not what microcosm means.

Do you want some food?

Yes, a**hole,

I'd like some food.

It's been over 36 hours

since I've eaten anything.

Right.

Well, let me see

what I can whip up here.

You might wanna think about trying to

fix that thing on top of your head.

Also.

My sister.

She has nothing to do with this.

Her coming down in the basement,

that was a total accident.

It's another reason I couldn't

let you go to the cops.

I mean, you put her at the scene that

makes her an accessory, she has kids.

You're telling me you have a

family that cares about you?

And you still

pull this kind of sh*t?

Well, they were supposed to get

rid of that one. Why didn't they?

That's Kendra,

My ex-wife.

I met her in Atlantic city.

It was a long time ago.

We started

this business together.

It's a huge tourism market

over there.

At peak season, we have two,

three simulations going at once.

We were training personnel.
