Now you're talkin'.

Christ, you're lettin' him go?

What-

What are you doin'?

F***in' a**hole.

One less thing

to worry about.

Shh!

What the hell is that?

Wait, wait, wait!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Let him answer it.

Let him answer it.

- Let him do it.

- Are you crazy?

If that's them, they bought his voice once.

They'll do it again. Let him answer.

- Yeah?

- Uh, it's me.

It's done. See you before sundown.

They're coming.

Sundown.

Oh, sh*t.

Half an hour.

We barely made a dent.

Oh, that's the spirit there,

cheese. Get me another blade.

He's right. We're not gettin'

anywhere with this.

Well, I don't know. We got, uh-

We got two hours, right?

We're gonna have to decide

how far we're prepared to take this.

What do you mean?

I mean, when they show up,

are we all prepared to do whatever it takes?

Give me another blade.

That was the last one.

What do you want me to tell her?

I don't know.

Just take her down to the station

and keep her calm.

Sh*t, look at this.

This is the same chemical name

on that busted canister out there.

- Oh, yeah?

- Listen to this.

"Warning. Effects of inhalation

or exposure include...

"shortness of breath, nausea,

unconsciousness...

"temporary memory loss,

seizure and/or death.

"Avoid breathing.

Contact a physician. Infectious agent.

Dire if exposed

in large doses."

I mean, sh*t, how long have we

been breathin' this stuff in?

Don't f***ing move, McCain!

I got a gun to your head!

McCain.

You know, I been thinkin'

about this whole thing.

You wakin' up

before everybody else.

The phone call.

It's all pretty convenient.

You got somethin' to say,

go ahead and say it.

Maybe you are just waitin'

for them to show up, huh?

What about you? Aren't you the one that

ripped the phone jack out of the wall?

Yeah, but I didn't lie about it

and try to cover it up, did I?

Okay. Now, would you

come on over and help me?

Shh! Listen. Listen.

My memory's coming back.

I remember parts from before.

I know who we are.

Oh, yeah.

Why should I believe you?

Because, Bill, you're the other hostage.

You're William Coles.

Oh, really? Miracle cure you're havin'

all of a sudden, huh?

They kidnapped us from work.

Okay? We were finalizing a deal.

We were in a parking structure.

Do you remember any of that?

- No.

- They took us on a Sunday. It was late afternoon.

We were running some numbers.

That son of a b*tch saw us go in. He saw us go in.

Hey!

I know you have no reason to believe me,

but he's setting us up.

- Geez.

- So we gotta get that gun

before that son of a b*tch...

remembers who he is,

otherwise we're screwed.

I don't remember sh*t, okay?

I don't remember.

Okay. For Christ's sake, you

don't remember your own kids?

Our kids play Little League together

for Christ's sake, Bill.

You don't remember

your own children?

Bill.

What? What's wrong?

We need to talk.

What's goin' on?

Kill him!

Get that son of a b*tch!

Get him, get him, get him, get him.!

Get him.!

Get the gun!

Get the gun!

Get the gun!

F***.

What the hell

do you think you're doin'?

He said I was Coles.

He said I was Coles, man.

What?

And you believed him?

He said his memory came back.

He knows who we are.

He's a lying sack of sh*t!

He remembered my kids.

My kids, man.

He's lying!

I couldn't risk it.

I couldn't risk it!

Is that true?

What do you remember?

What do you remember,

a**hole?

He's gonna kill us, Bill.

F***- F*** you.

- F*** me? No. F*** you!

- Don't!

- What the hell is the matter with you?

- Tell me who to shoot!

What the hell

are you doin', man?

I lied.

- What do you remember?

- I made the whole thing up.

- That's enough!

- I'm just tryin' to get out of here, man.

Just leave him alone.

Just leave him alone, man.

I don't know what I'm doin' here.

I don't know what I'm doin' here.

You're only sayin' that

so I don't kill you.

You're gonna

kill me anyway.

What do you remember?

You're the one.

You're the one.

I'm not a criminal.

Stop acting like one then.

We're in the middle of nowhere.

- What? Speak!

- I think they just pulled off.

Don't think. Read the damn thing.

You got a bead or not?

Yes. Right here. Go.

This guy did this to us!

Whose side

are you on anyway, man?

How are we gonna get up there?

Go to the ledge!

Go to the ledge quick! We're losing you!

- I got it! I got it!

- You on the ledge?

- Easy!

- Oh, sh*t!

Son of a b*tch!

Sorry.

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it!

- F***.

- More security glass?

Hey, wait a second.

- I may be able to shoot a hole in it.

- No way, pal.

The gun stays with me.

Don't be a prick. I'm tryin'

to get us out of here.

I could shoot it

at close range, right here.

You come down.

I'll climb up there and shoot a hole in it myself.

You're too big,

you fat f***!

The rope may not hold you.

Suit yourself.

Okay, here we go.

Now here's where

your good look pays off.

That's him.

That's him inside the store.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

You see which car is his?

I can't tell.

Oh, no. No, no.

Come- Come on.

Sh*t.

F***! He's gone.

Which one?

- I don't know.

- Come on! Come on! Which one?

I don't know! They're all

leaving at the same time!

Well, choose one.

The Denali or the pickup?

Right there.

The pickup.

Go, go, go!

Come on!

- How do we know you're not

just gonna leave us here?

- I guess you don't.

Cut the sh*t!

Cut the sh*t!

That's really funny.

- Oops.

- A**hole.

Oh, I hope you're dead,

you clumsy f***!

Hey. Hey. Hey, man,

are you all right?

Lucky to be alive.

Of all the

stupid things.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, can you hear us?

- Are you all right?

- Erin?

I think it's safe to say

you were too heavy, huh?

F*** off.

- My shoulder.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sh*t. Whoa, whoa. Just wait.

Ah, man,

your back is bad.

You do understand

that was our only weapon.

Back off!

It was an accident, all right?

- What's the matter with you?

- You trust this guy? Huh?

Oh. I see

what's going on here.

I-What, you two are gonna

start workin' together now?

What the hell difference

does it make?

Is that gonna get us

out of here any faster, huh?

- I don't think so.

- What are you doing?

Don't!

Don't untie him!

- You stay outta this.

- We had an agreement!

Yeah. I'm hedging

my bets.

Thanks.

You idiot.

It's you and me now.

What's the matter with you? F***.

You better stay in the garbage,

'cause I ain't through with you.

All right. This is gonna sting a bit.

- Son of a b*tch!

- So who's Erin?

Your wife?

Or my daughter.

I can't remember which.

At least you got somebody

outside of this place.

You'll remember her soon enough. Soon as

we get out of here, it'll all come back to you.

How can you be so sure we're gonna like

what we have when we get out of this place?

I mean, what could have brought us all here

that's worth remembering anyway?

Nothin'. That's exactly it.

Nothin' we can remember here...

is gonna have anything to do with

who we really are.

The choices we make from here on
