it's like I landed

in a f***in' Alzheimer's ward.

What about you?

Huh?

It's all of us.

That's too bad.

Wash your hands.

Oh.

Won't open. I already checked it.

All right. So, let's go over this again.

You woke up-

I saw you guys. There was blood on the shovel.

There was blood everywhere.

A broken cellphone. I just freaked out

and headed for the door.

- You didn't move anything.

You didn't see nothing else?

- No.

Anything suspicious or odd?

I saw two chairs back to back

in the storeroom with rope around it.

Well, that's interesting.

Well, obviously, whatever went down here

didn't go down as planned, right?

- Trapped like f***in' rats.

- So that's it? That's everything?

Yep. Pretty much.

Hey. Ask him

about the phone call.

What?

Ask him...

about the phone call.

What? What phone call?

- There's a phone in here?

- Um, listen-

When you guys were

still passed out...

- he went to answer the phone.

- Where's the phone?

- Listen, I was gonna tell you-

- Just-Just tell me who was on the phone.

I don't know.

Some guy.

- That's funny that you forgot

to mention that little tidbit.

- Some guy. Who? What?

I- I don't know.

He just started talking.

- So he recognized your voice then?

- No. I don't think so.

I mean, it was noisy on his end.

It was construction or something.

Whose side are you on

anyway, man?

Wait a minute.

You think I'm with them?

He talked to you.

He recognized your voice, right?

- Let's tie this motherf***er up.

- Yeah.

Wait a minute.

I picked up the phone.

The caller asked if I was so-and-so.

I said, "No, so-and-so's in the john."

Then he asked if I was someone else. I didn't

know what to say, so I just changed the subject.

- Bullshit!

- What was I supposed to say?

"Hey, buddy, I can't remember jack sh*t.

Could you please tell me what's goin' on?

We've all beaten the hell out of each other

here and fried our brains in the process."

- Does that make any sense to you?

- Think about it.

He talked to you.

He recognized your voice, man.

He didn't know who I was.

He asked if I was two different people.

He didn't know.

I'm not on the caller's side.

Well, somebody in here's

gotta be.

I'm not on anybody's side.

- Captain, it's back.

- What?

The tracking signal- it's back.

It's headed due east from our location.

What's the signal strength

on that thing?

- It'll hold for about two miles.

- All right. Start putting a tail on it.

Captain,

I saw one of the guys.

- Who?

- One of the pickup guys walked right past me.

- Can you I.D. him?

- Yeah. Yes, sir.

Curtis, hold on.

Anderson's coming with you.

They're headed

toward the interstate.

- I got a good look at one of 'em.

- Did you?

Promise me next time

you'll do more than just look.

Come on.

Let's make the call.

No, no. We all agreed. He gets back here.

We all make the call together.

Hey, let's go!

Hey!

Look.

I found the f***ing keys.

Yeah, you got keys

and no car.

You got a holster and no gun and you got

a cellphone in a million pieces downstairs.

- It's making perfect sense, isn't it?

- What can I say?

Just relax, all right?

- They're coming to kill us.

- You don't know that.

What do you think they're diggin' out there,

huh? They're puttin' a pool in?

- What do you think you're doin'?

- Orderin' a pizza.

- Give me the phone!

- No!

What's the matter, pal?

Huh?

You feelin'

a little guilty?

Huh?

You wanna make a phone call?

Go ahead. Dial 911.

- Go ahead. Yeah, you're innocent.

- Yeah.

- 'Cause you know how you

broke your nose, right? Sure.

- I know what I know, okay?

What the hell are you doing?

Are you insane?

That was our ticket out of here!

Yeah, it's our ticket,

all right.

Oh, sh*t.

A cop. It's a cop.

No. Security guard.

What have you f***ers

got me into?

You barely looked at him.

How do you know he's security?

It's right here.

"L.P.W." Liberty Plaza West.

- Wait a second. Why does that sound so familiar?

- Oh, sh*t.

- What?

- Sh*t.

"Police are investigating the disappearance

of William Coles Jr...

"of Coles Consolidated Equities, and the

company's financial adviser, Richard McCain.

"While both men's cars were found

in the parking structure...

"of their downtown corporate

headquarters Monday morning...

"neither have been seen by family or

coworkers since early Sunday morning.

Police suspect the men

have been abducted."

Not seen since Sunday morning,

and this is the Tuesday morning paper.

- Right.

- So we've been here at least two days.

Coles and McCain.

- That could be any one of us, right?

- What else? Keep readin' it.

"Witnesses report hearing gunshots

in the area around midnight Sunday."

- Anything else?

- He's got a wife. That's about it.

Oh. How are we gonna

figure this out?

I got you pegged as Richard.

You seem like a Dick to me.

That must make you the kidnapper,

'cause a tycoon could afford a pair of nuts.

- Yeah?

- What?

- Two names, right? Two guys.

- Two.

Well, obviously, something

went haywire down here.

Okay, there was a struggle.

McCain and Coles got loose from the back.

Okay?

Makes sense, right?

So either they were recaptured,

which makes the three of us kidnappers-

- Or one of us is Coles and one is McCain.

- Exactly.

- And the other guy?

- Doesn't matter. We gotta work

together till we get out.

- He's right.

- And then we go our separate ways.

- They're probably comin' back now.

You thought of that?

- Stop jumpin' to conclusions.

They get their money.

They come back. We're fine.

You're assuming they're gonna get money!

You're assuming somebody's gonna pay!

Maybe nobody's gonna pay!

F*** me, we're dead!

- What is wrong with you? Huh?

- You're wrong.

They got blood

on their hands.

Whoever Coles is, whoever McCain is,

they're dead men unless we get out of here.

God!

The bars are the way to go.

They're all rusted out.

You're just gonna keep breakin' them.

You're never gonna get through that.

All of a sudden you remember

you're an architect, huh?

- Just-

- Hey, hey!

Go ahead.

Girls, stop fighting.

Could we get some water here?

Shut up!

Come on.

A man's been shot!

If you want, you can untie me.

I'll do it myself.

Deaf or stupid?

Eat me, hemlock.

All right.

Let's give it a go.

We're gonna use the shovel

and just-

We're gonna pry it.

Get some leverage on it.

No matter who anybody is here

or how tough you think you are...

you'll always be the p*ssy that's tied up

to an office chair.

All right?

What are you lookin' at?

Now, just because we're tied up

doesn't mean we're friends.

What?

What?

- Why didn't you say so?

- Yeah.

Whoo!

- Ha ha!

- What do you see?

There's nothin'.

Help!

Hey, let's take it

easy with that!

- Okay! Okay!

- Take it easy!

Hey, I thought it was gonna help.

I wasn't gonna do nothin'!

Guess that settles it.

I wasn't gonna do nothin'.

I wasn't gonna do anything

with that. I just thought-

- Sure.

- Hey, what are you doing?

That's more like it, chief.
