We'd better Hang up.

This is what I want you to do.

I want you to take a look at the kid

and put your hand on her chest.

Is she breathing?

Hold on.

It's a kind of like... shallow.

All right. This is what I want you to do.

I want you to get her inside.

And I want you to close the window,

let her wander around, Okay?

She has a trouble breathing.

Give her strong coffee decaf

and open her airways.

Joe, you want me to do that?

Yes

Just call me if there's a problem, Okay?

You would be grateful

if I helped your little girl, right?

Yes.

What?

Yes.

How would you show me?

You take me to her first.

And then I'll show you.

How does every woman know that?

How to be a hooker.

Get the payment upfront!

Is that what you're teaching

at the awkward workshop?

Nobody is to teach

how to protect your child.

You'd know that if you're behind one.

Hey Marvin, it's me.

We're almost there.

She is still sleeping.

Yeah, Okay, I'll call you.

They are not there yet.

I'd like to see the bedroom.

Come on.

Hey, Dr. Jennings.

Hi

Can l help you?

Listen, my keycard doesn't work.

I was wondering if I could use

your phone to call the frontdesk.

You know that there's

a phone right by the elevator.

You're right.

That must be such a rush, huh?

Just standing up there,

having everybody want to be you.

A young guy with big idea and a big future

l got hot just as watching you.

I am flattered.

l am... well, I'm so ...married.

Then we can do things to talk out.

Because it's something I'll do it...Not you.

Oh, I'm sorry, darling, but...

I don't think it's going to happen.

You will find some other things.You'll find 50.

Just not me. Good night.

'Cause Abby doesn't have 50, daddy's.

What did you say?

Your daughter has been kidnapped for 3 hours.

And she's not going to live thru the night

if you don't let me in your room right now.

I'm calling to police.

Don't f***ing use that phone.

If you call the cops or house,

whatever you may have,

it's going to be the bullet into Abby's brain.

All right.

I have to make a phonecall in the next 5 minutes.

If anything stops me making that phonecall,

your kid is dead.

What do I have to do get my little girl back?

You know whole new world, Dr. Jennings.

Right now my partner has your wife at your house.

The little girl is being held in 3rd location.

Where?

When you calm down

I'm going to make a phonecall.

After that, this phone is

going to ring every 30 minutes

and if I don't say things are cool

You may as well pick out of 3 book-cascade.

Where is my little girl?

l don't know.

I don't know where your little girl is.

I only know she's being held in some place

the police can't possibly get to in there

That's not going to happen.

Sit down.

You skip the part of at us getting,

then I'll be back.

Tomorrow morning, your wife

is going to wire $250,000 to a local bank.

You're going to go pick up that money.

After you give it to me, your wifeand your child

will be let go with inside of each other.

How would she going to explain them?

Oh, please.

She's going to call your broker.

She's going to say that you stumbled

onto another painting.

That you simply had to add

your crappy little art collection.

You got this whole thing covered, Doctor.

It's really f***ing easy.

You follow the rules

and get Abby back. It's that simple.

You think I'd believe that

after I've seen your face?

This is the 5th time we've done this.

All the other parents saw our faces.

Not one them reported the police.

You know why?

'Cause if you go to the police,

to look at them, we'll know.

My partner will come back

and he'll kill your child.

Marvin, is everything all right?

Marvin!

Fine, she's sleeping.

l will call you.

Mommy?

Your mom is not here

right now, Abby.

l am Marvin.

She asked me to keep you for a while.

Where is she?

-No, I mean

Just for tonight.

Where is she?

She had to go to a party.

I want my mom.

No, it's Okay.

It's Okay.

We're going to be fine here tonight.

It's going to go by really fast.

No, it's going to go by really fast.

Mom

Wait, wait,

Can you say "Marvin"?

Stop that!

l don't like one little girl's cry.

Hey, if you could, and you promise

to not run away,

you can play with her.

Hey honey, where are you?

l got him in a role.

What took you so long?

Problems.

He's difficult.

He's not like the other boys.

He didn't get it.

Okay, Okay.

Put him on this right now.

Okay.

Phonecall for you, Dr. Jennings.

Hello

Dr. Will Jennings.

This is Dr. Jennings. Who is this?

You can call me Joe.

Is my wife there?

Yes, she's right here, actually

Right here with me.

You should see her face.

She is now starting to get the picture.

Would you like to talk to her?

Yes

-Okay.

Keep it short and sweet, all right?

This is actually my favorite part.

Happy couple talk to each other.

Will!

Karen, are you all right?

They took her out somewhere.

I'm going to follow them and work this out.

Where are you?

You got a beautiful bedroom, Doc.

I've got to tell you that

the view is unbelievable.

Inside, and you know

I'm looking at a picture of Abby right now.

l don't want to see you, man.

I don't see you at all.

She is a spitting image

of your wife, you know.

It's kind of... makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Listen, Joe.

It's clear that we got a difficult situation.

Let me know what you need

and I'll make it happen quickly and quietly.

Anything you say, Okay?

Oh, Okay, Okay,

so this is your bedside, man, right?

You talk to people like the f***ing idiots

and then you just go on

whatever f*** you want

well, let me tell you something

l am not your f***ing patient, all right?

l don't want to upset you, Joe.

But I need you to listen.

My daughter has asthma.

Don't need it, "my daughter".

Abby's brain starts to die.

That's what you're dealing with.

Look, Abby needs to be with Karen.

if not that, she needs medicine.

That is going to put control back

in your hands.

Back in my hands?

and put my partner back on.

Hey, I'm the doctor tonight.

I'm the one who decides whether or not

your girl lives or dies.

Please don't make me prove,

And put my partner back on.

Hey, how come we didn't know

about this asthma thing?

How could you miss that, Joey?

I don't like it.

I give a sh*t what you'd like.

Just keep an eye on him, all right?

All right.

Who is that guy?

That's my husband.

l wonder if he knows

what is good.

Get your car keys.

Time to go.

You keep this wrap,

and we'll go outside, Okay?

Here we go as fast.

And we'll get back from the ride,

you're going to watch TV.

'Cause you've been good.

Hey, what's the matter?

This is uh...

Who does it...

What?

l get... thirsty.

That's ...gone.

Air...my chest...I can't breathe.

My puffer.

Your what?

My medicine...I want it immediately.

Your...coffee. They say coffee...will help?

Mommy...

Okay, there's some for you.

Okay, time to put this on.

Go on, put it on your eyes.
