and makes a mistake.

You guys will be okay for the week?

I think we can stay out of trouble.

I think I know where

the account number is.

Check Michael's bracelet.

I know I'm dead.

I hope you get the money, you let him go.

Give me your word.

You got it.

Our computer has a program...

...that remembers 60 days of websites

our IPaddress lands on.

The broadband's

always connected at our house.

Unless you turned it off.

No.

If this is an account number

and Kevin accessed it online...

I can find it from here.

There.

Sh*t.

We have seven minutes

till the bank's server goes down.

If we don't get the money now,

we can't touch it for 12 hours.

Hurry.

Falco's coming in two hours.

Reverse it.

Kevin switched the bracelets

before he left.

This number's probably useless.

Wait a minute.

These companies,

they keep all the records.

Yeah, hi. I need a registration number.

Michael Taylor.

I'm his father.

Social Security 493-00-3154.

Mother's maiden name Brown.

Oh, so you have it.

Okay, thanks.

It worked.

Password... Michael's name.

Try the restaurant.

We have one more chance.

Could be numeric.

You're the smartest kid I know.

Sing my favorite song.

Two, three, you and me can

four and five and twenty-nine and...

...sixty-six is even fixed with

forty-three and we...

Two and three, four, five...

Twenty-nine, sixty-six.

Please.

There's 44 million in here.

Forty-four? Strange.

Drain it.

He opened this the day we got married.

Under my name.

I want you to kill him.

No problem.

Where do you want it?

Transwiss Securities.

Account 65090284A.

Routing number 54530

We got a black and white.

- It's not working.

- Why?

It's a high-security account,

I can't transfer money...

...to a routing number it doesn't recognize.

I need to authorize

Kevin's account through yours.

I need your username and password.

Do you want this done or not?

Alek.

Lock the bathroom,

blindfold the kid and get him in here.

Get under the table.

Look, you move the money, Michael lives.

You scream, signal them in any way,

the deal's off.

Come here, baby.

You got something, Officer?

Officer Gene found

an invoice on your floor.

You paid cash two days ago to repair

a black SUV dented in the front fender.

Yeah, it was a bad storm that night.

It was a hit and run.

Abandoned car,

registered to Jamie Taylor...

...had some black paint on the rear fender.

How does that pertain to me?

Search warrant for

the building and the vehicle.

Step aside.

Mmm!

No, Michael. Look at me.

You have to be quiet.

You understand, you have to help me.

What's that smell?

It's like I was telling your partner.

I was sick last night.

Threw up before

I made it to the bathroom.

What's under here?

Paper.

Pull it out.

Get them out.

Hey, clean out that room

over there. Now.

Better get whoever's in there out.

Don't touch anything!

What is this, more paper?

Yeah, paper.

Come on.

Come on.

- What's in there?

- Bathroom.

Do you mind?

I'd rather you didn't.

I'd rather I did.

Bob, are you in there?

Help!

- Holy sh*t.

- Go!

Gene!

- Don't move.

- Too late.

- I didn't signal them.

- I believe you.

Thank you, Jamie.

Alek.

Come on, Michael.

- Can't touch that money without me.

- You already wired it.

Alek.

I changed your password.

- Change it back.

- Kill us.

It'll take 24 hours...

...for you to reset

that password without me.

You have less than two till Falco comes.

- What do you want?

- Have them take Michael to my sister's.

- No way.

- Then we all die.

- Then what?

- Have him park a block away on Sixth.

Michael can walk to her house from there.

When Michael gets in, he lets us know.

I'll call Megan...

...tell her I was kidnapped.

I'll describe Rathe.

- That's never gonna work.

- Rathe kidnapped me...

...killed the cops...

...tried to rape me, so I shot him.

The police will think I found a way out.

By the time they find my...

...body...

...you'll be gone.

Michael's still a witness.

Michael, come here.

Michael, I know what you saw,

but you cannot tell anyone.

If you tell anyone about this...

...they'll hurt me.

I have to stay here for now.

I don't know how long,

but if you keep quiet...

I'll be back really soon.

Okay?

Good.

I love you.

You're a good boy.

Chase, wait.

Before you leave, go to the cop's car.

Radio dispatch with this badge number.

Tell them Grifton checked out...

...and that you're moving on

to another location.

Then dump the car off the pier.

Come back in here, and clean this pig up.

Go ahead.

You fix this, or I'll kill them both.

I know.

Megan.

Listen, I just have a second.

Look, someone grabbed me and Michael.

Thank God.

I don't know, just

some kind of warehouse.

Just one guy.

White...

...a mohawk, and a scar above his eyebrow.

Megan, listen to me.

If anything happens to me,

you can't tell Michael.

Promise me...

...that you won't say anything.

You'll tell him I'm okay.

Promise me.

I can't reach him.

Listen, I gotta go. Somebody's coming.

Hey, let them go.

Come back here as soon as you can.

Was Mary your wife?

Did you kill her, too?

Your husband did.

Him and Hader.

They raped my wife.

Killed my kid.

Left them in pieces.

Why?

I don't know.

No, like you, she...

She was...

She started as a front.

She never knew what I really did.

Her and my boy, Cody.

They were my life.

Your son's name was Cody?

I heard that name in the tapes,

in a message to Hader.

- "Cody project, four million. "

- What are you talking about?

- Was there any other name in it?

- A bank, Bromwell Bank.

It said, "Cody project, four million,

Bromwell Bank. "

The extra four million.

Someone hired him to kill her.

Falco's here.

911 emergency.

Yes, I'm at Grifton

Enterprises, I need help.

Hello? Can you hear me?

The money's in.

Mrs. Taylor's inside.

Mrs. Taylor.

I hear you're quite a handful.

Kevin always had taste.

Some of his women were

a little obvious for my fancy.

There's something to be said for modesty.

Let me see.

Very good.

It'll take a few moments.

Where's Michael?

He is at her sister's.

You do know this doesn't save him.

Kevin betrayed us, he has to pay.

We're getting divorced.

I can see why Alek likes you.

My son won't say anything.

Do you believe that?

I gave her my word.

Alek's word is worth everything to me.

He has always been loyal.

Let me tell you something.

This life...

...even a glimpse of

this life, changes people.

I'm sure in the time you've been here...

Well, let's just say,

you can't go back home.

If we let him live...

Michael will always have two faces...

...burned in his brain.

Yours and Alek's.

Yours will fade away over time.

Michael will resist.

He'll hate himself for forgetting you,

but that's how the mind numbs the pain.

Alek's face...

...he'll never forget.

Your boy will see him every time

he shuts his eyes.

And if Michael as a young man

manages to blow out Alek's brains...

...because that's all

he'll ever think about...
