It's almost 9 o'clock.

Hang on, please.

Help me...whatever

Help me...mommy...

So talk to me. I'd like to hear

the sound of your voice.

What do you want to talk about?

Why don't you tell me

how you met Dr. Will?

You don't want to talk about that.

Sort of subject.

Let's see if I can guess.

You were a nurse.

and you put him through med school,

and you quit and had the baby, right?

How did you know that?

l'm just an excellent judge of character.

We're here?

Marvin will be here soon.

You are not going to be emotional.

and you will not freak out.

Give the kid the medicine,

and then we're going to go.

l understand.

You'd better make sure to do

because I'm going to have

a gun on you every seconds.

Abby's going to go,

a little crazy when you leave.

It's going to be tough for her to act

just like the first day you go to school.

Remember that, all right?

If you freak out

and if you try to run,

l will shoot you.

And I will shoot her.

I will shoot you with her daddy's gone.

And she'll left embarrassed

for the rest of her life.

Mommy

Abby!

Shhhh...

Are you Okay?

Mama's here.

You see.

I had an attack.

-You did?

I didn't have any medicine.

-I know.

I brought the medicine right here.

Where were you?

One more time

There you go.

You're going to be fine, Okay?

Let me see, Okay.

Are you Okay?

She nearly died.

She scared me to death.

She's got a medicine.

She's fine.

She's just a kid.

No, she is not.

She is not.

She's another little girl.

She's some lucky little doctor's kid.

And we gave her a pill too.

Everything is fine, you understand me?

It sounds as the same.

It's not the same, Marvin.

Did he hurt you?

No

No? He hasn't hurt you?

l know, baby.

l know you want to go home.

Just a little bit longer, Okay?

And I'm going to come and get you.

Put the clothes on.

Is he nice, Abby?

Yes

Where is he keeping you?

In a cabin.

A cabin?

Yes

Is it far from here?

No, not that far.

No?

Does he have a gun?

No

No?

Listen to me.

Do everything he says.

But only if he's nice to you.

Okay

If you go to the bathroom,

go by yourself, Okay?

Okay

Don't let him go with you.

Okay

Listen to me.

We had a little vehicle,

and we're back on track now.

just like the other 4 times, is that clear?

No.

It is different

the medicine is...

It's not different.

We've gone over this 100,000 times.

Back to the plan

We talk to every half an hour.

and you're still there.

Are you Okay?

Are you leaving me?

We have to, baby.

Okay, time to go, Marvin.

I'm begging you just let me

see Abby till the morning.

You had some nice talking with her

and that's good for her.

You don't want that to change, do you?

Okay

Honey, you're going to be safe

You're going to be fine

It's Okay, baby.

Mommy!!

I love you, honey!

Her medicine! Her medicine!

No!!

F***, f***!!

Sh*t!

You want to f*** this up?

You think you'll live in the world

when your little girl's get killed?

Put this on.

You're one lousy,

motherfucking lady.

I give you that.

Everybody is entitled as their one mistake.

You just made yours.

It's me.

Hey, dear, put the doc on.

What are you going to do?

She got the medicine,

and everything's cool.

Where are you?

We're going back.

Would you put the f***ing doc on?

Okay

It is for you.

Hey, Will, how are you doing?

I got a little news updated for you.

Here's the little lady.

Will

-Oh, baby

Are you Okay? What's happening?

I saw Abby, she had an attack.

Did you treat her... is she all right?

Just fine for now, I left her medicinea little bit.

She's miles away from a hospital.

Karen? Karen?

Oh, hey, calm down, college boy.

They keep the girl a little uptset,that's all.

All mommy fix it up.

Tears and scream,you know how it is.

Everything's fine now.

So listen, have fun, Okay?

You need a hanky, baby.

You, f***!!

Jesus, what happened to you?

I'd like to wrestle with him

to look after for a fun.

You didn't get that from the fun.

That's a beating.

And not just one.

-Oh, really? It is?

Wow, you drive me to the

battered women's shelter?

Put it on.

l need to ask you a question.

F*** you.

Are you really

committed to this kidnapping?

I have a funny feeling that you're not.

Joe just kicks out of this, but not you.

What makes you think

l would ever sell him out?

Why don't you stop pressing

your smart buttons?

l just let this happen way it has

just like every other times.

This is not like every other time.

'Cause Abby is sick

and you're mixed up

Joe's f***ed up.

What are you going to do

if my little daughter dies?

Haven't you thought about that?

Because that's all

I'm thinking about right now.

You want me to tell you

you're going to go with me with the cost?

Who is Katie?

Katie?

That's what you called me when I was sick.

She was a little girl

just like you

She is in heaven now.

Abby's kitten in heaven.

Are you her daddy?

She was my family

and my friend.

She died 2 years ago.

You know, when you die

you stay the same age.

She will be 6 forever.

Hey, maybe she knows your cat.

That would be kind of a coincidence.

Yeah

Hey baby, we're almost back to the house.

Is everything cool?

No, it's not.

The doctor f***ed up.

-What did he do?

He hit me.

Put him on.

I'm sorry, I lost my head.

But it won't happen again, Okay?

What did you hit her with?

The phone. Not hard.

You need to listen now.

What are you doing?

Argh!!

Jesus, Karen!

Oh sh*t, now I got blood on my phone.

Are we clear?

Do you understand how this works?

Please don't hurt my wife.

Likewise, a**hole!

Hey, I did my good deed for the day.

And how about you?

But I'm blemished.

Hey, l got a idea.

Why don't you go sit down?

l will make you some dinner,

how does that sound?

Let's see what we got here.

Oh, no messages?

You don't have to deal with

pesky patients.

You got a millon phone calls.

He's got plenty of time and kickback.

This is...

l am Joe. A friend of Will's.

Nice to meet you.

Joe
